1
00:00:02,320 --> 00:00:05,600
Speaker 1: There is no off season better sceptid.

2
00:00:06,080 --> 00:00:09,040
Speaker 2: There's no greater expectases than the expectases we put on

3
00:00:09,039 --> 00:00:09,960
Speaker 2: our sales.

4
00:00:09,840 --> 00:00:12,240
Speaker 3: Rock and Roll touchdown Houston.

5
00:00:12,480 --> 00:00:13,680
Speaker 4: We have expectations.

6
00:00:13,760 --> 00:00:14,240
Speaker 3: Were standing.

7
00:00:14,320 --> 00:00:15,840
Speaker 5: We own ourselves to sucked.

8
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:18,640
Speaker 1: I'm bringing out the promise of this team. The talent

9
00:00:18,680 --> 00:00:20,440
Speaker 1: that we have, the coaching that we have is right

10
00:00:20,440 --> 00:00:21,680
Speaker 1: in front of us. So we just got to keep

11
00:00:21,720 --> 00:00:24,360
Speaker 1: reaching to going and getting got Texans when that's what

12
00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:24,920
Speaker 1: it's about.

13
00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:25,120
Speaker 3: Man.

14
00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:27,920
Speaker 1: Now it's Texans All Access.

15
00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:33,159
Speaker 5: Hello Texans, Welcome to the program. We've got John McClain

16
00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:34,320
Speaker 5: in the house tonight.

17
00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:35,680
Speaker 3: We're really on the line here.

18
00:00:35,720 --> 00:00:39,320
Speaker 5: It's the Hundai Texans Radio studio wherever we are coming from,

19
00:00:39,479 --> 00:00:41,280
Speaker 5: which is going to be at the Combine next week,

20
00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:44,480
Speaker 5: by the way. We'll get into that, but let's kick

21
00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:47,839
Speaker 5: off the program. Mark vandermar John Harris with you. In general,

22
00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:51,839
Speaker 5: let's go right to the go line. Topic wise, anyway,

23
00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:55,760
Speaker 5: all week long, people talking about free agency. What are

24
00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:57,600
Speaker 5: the Texans going to do? Do they have to make

25
00:00:57,640 --> 00:01:00,440
Speaker 5: a huge splash? What do they need to do? I

26
00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:04,200
Speaker 5: want to start here with the wide receiver position.

27
00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:06,479
Speaker 3: Would you would you.

28
00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:09,839
Speaker 5: Pay a lot of money for a guy like Mike

29
00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:13,600
Speaker 5: Evans or a big splash receiver, or continue to build

30
00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:16,319
Speaker 5: in other ways knowing that you have Nico Collinson, Tank

31
00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:18,800
Speaker 5: Dell to start with, what are your thoughts?

32
00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:21,119
Speaker 3: Good evening, welcome.

33
00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:23,880
Speaker 2: Thank you very much. I would not do that, and

34
00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:26,480
Speaker 2: I don't think Nick Casario will do that. We've not

35
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:30,440
Speaker 2: seen Cassio do anything like that every year he's been here,

36
00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:34,840
Speaker 2: and based on what we saw last season, the fruits

37
00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:38,240
Speaker 2: of his labor along with Tamiko Ryans, I trust that

38
00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:41,959
Speaker 2: whatever they do is going to work out. And Nico's

39
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:45,000
Speaker 2: third round pick Tanks a third round pick, John Matchie,

40
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:47,920
Speaker 2: they haven't giving up on him. He's a second round pick.

41
00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:50,240
Speaker 2: You know, you don't need to spend a lot of

42
00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:52,800
Speaker 2: money on a white app that's going to keep you

43
00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:58,080
Speaker 2: from addressing other needs because so many people are going

44
00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:02,160
Speaker 2: to be unrestricted and have a big turnover just because

45
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:05,920
Speaker 2: of Casserio's philosophy has been, as you guys know, sign

46
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:08,960
Speaker 2: free ahs to one and two year deals. Now maybe

47
00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:11,679
Speaker 2: we'll see them splurge and sign somebody to a three

48
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:15,839
Speaker 2: year deal. Maybe Cam Johnston again, who's still the only guy.

49
00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:19,200
Speaker 2: Believe he's signed for more than two years and they

50
00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:24,000
Speaker 2: got a lot of needs to address. And it's strange

51
00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:27,560
Speaker 2: because I've seen the mock drafts have them taking an

52
00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:29,320
Speaker 2: offensive tackle in the first round.

53
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:31,680
Speaker 4: I'm thinking, you're not paying any attention.

54
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:34,680
Speaker 2: They're not taking an offensive tackle in the first round.

55
00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:38,720
Speaker 2: They got their tackles, Dave addressed. Just think last two years,

56
00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:41,840
Speaker 2: a first round pick, a second round pick, a sixth

57
00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:46,120
Speaker 2: round pick, an expensive veteran right guard free agency have

58
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:49,399
Speaker 2: been added to the offensive line. So I don't think

59
00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:52,680
Speaker 2: that's a position that's going to get a lot of attention.

60
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:57,200
Speaker 2: I think it's more like when you're playing against Lamar Jackson,

61
00:02:57,320 --> 00:03:01,240
Speaker 2: Patrick Mahomes, Josh Allen, you're put to a tongue of

62
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:05,919
Speaker 2: I LOA, Jared Goff, Jordan Love. You're playing and that's

63
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:10,360
Speaker 2: Trevor Lawrence. You better load up on defense. And if

64
00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:13,920
Speaker 2: John there Gernard leaves in free agency, they're gonna have

65
00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:16,280
Speaker 2: to have an edge Russer. I wouldn't be I'm going

66
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:19,640
Speaker 2: to have them in my mob drafts taking a defensive lineman,

67
00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:23,360
Speaker 2: every one of them, because I believe that Dimiko wants

68
00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:26,520
Speaker 2: to follow the forty nine Ers blueprint, which is to

69
00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:30,359
Speaker 2: load up in the line and use later picks for

70
00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:35,080
Speaker 2: the back seven. Drake Greenlaw fifth round pick, Fred Warner

71
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:39,080
Speaker 2: third round pick, Demiko knows what he wants at each

72
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:42,080
Speaker 2: of those positions, and they better come up with another

73
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:44,800
Speaker 2: safety because they had to sign three off the street

74
00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:47,480
Speaker 2: to be the second, third, and fourth safeties at the

75
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:49,800
Speaker 2: end of the year in the playoffs. And if Blake

76
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:55,160
Speaker 2: Cashman Lee's safety and linebacker positions you can address in

77
00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:57,320
Speaker 2: free agency, because you don't see a lot of teams

78
00:03:57,640 --> 00:04:00,600
Speaker 2: spending a lot of money on those positions. And I

79
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:03,040
Speaker 2: don't think for a minute they're drafting a wide receiver

80
00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:06,880
Speaker 2: in the first round like I've been rating MOB drafts today.

81
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:10,760
Speaker 2: But I think they'll spend They will, they will place

82
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:14,320
Speaker 2: a lot of attention on the defense because of those

83
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:17,120
Speaker 2: quarterbacks are going to be playing against when they have

84
00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:18,640
Speaker 2: a brutal schedule.

85
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:23,240
Speaker 6: General of the free agents that the Texans have, and

86
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:26,920
Speaker 6: I think they're I don't know, thirty plus whatever they

87
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:31,200
Speaker 6: might be of the kind of big name ones, I

88
00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:33,839
Speaker 6: guess if you will not to really, you know, leave

89
00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:38,960
Speaker 6: anybody out of this conversation, but Devin Singletary, Dalton Schultz,

90
00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:44,560
Speaker 6: Jonathan Garnard, Sheldon Rankins, and we'll throw Stephen Nelson in there.

91
00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:48,600
Speaker 6: Of those, which guys of those do you think the

92
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:53,480
Speaker 6: Texans will bring back for twenty twenty four and potentially beyond.

93
00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:56,520
Speaker 2: I think they will. The Casario I will have a

94
00:04:56,560 --> 00:05:00,440
Speaker 2: budget for all those guys. Jonathan Gernard, I've heard eighteen

95
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:01,400
Speaker 2: to twenty million a year.

96
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:04,160
Speaker 4: I don't see him doing that with him. If you

97
00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:04,680
Speaker 4: if you.

98
00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:08,200
Speaker 2: Don't resign Dalton Schulz, you got to totally start over

99
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:12,480
Speaker 2: tight end. And it's pretty apparent c. J. Stroud trusted

100
00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:16,080
Speaker 2: Shulz to get him the ball last year, and so

101
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:19,720
Speaker 2: I think they're going to resign Schulz. Don't see Singletary

102
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:22,200
Speaker 2: getting a big deal somewhere else.

103
00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:23,080
Speaker 4: Maybe he does.

104
00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:28,200
Speaker 2: But Blake Cashman and Jonathan Garnard. Cashman's had one healthy

105
00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:31,240
Speaker 2: season in his career, this was it. Do you want

106
00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:33,800
Speaker 2: to spend money on a guy who's had an injury history?

107
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:37,440
Speaker 2: Jonathan Garnard's missed games with injuries every year he's been

108
00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:40,000
Speaker 2: in the NFL. Does another team want to come in

109
00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:41,400
Speaker 2: there and give him twenty million a year?

110
00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:44,400
Speaker 4: And of the.

111
00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:47,799
Speaker 2: Ones I believe, I think Garnard's got a good chance

112
00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:51,360
Speaker 2: to be gone. I think Cashman's could be gone. I

113
00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:56,040
Speaker 2: think Schulz will be resigned and Sheldon rankins where he underrated.

114
00:05:56,640 --> 00:06:01,360
Speaker 2: He fit exactly what Ryan's wanted at that position, and

115
00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:03,760
Speaker 2: he was good against the run, he had six sacks.

116
00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:08,520
Speaker 2: And the familiarity of the system and bringing Bobby Slowick

117
00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:12,880
Speaker 2: back and Girodd Johnson and only losing two or three coaches.

118
00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:16,960
Speaker 2: But it's not just the coaches now know what the

119
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:20,280
Speaker 2: players can do, what they can and can't do, and

120
00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:24,360
Speaker 2: the players know exactly what they're supposed to do after

121
00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:29,960
Speaker 2: spending a year in the system. So the familiarity should

122
00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:34,080
Speaker 2: breed success. And I don't can't imagine they're going to

123
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:37,599
Speaker 2: have as many injuries as last season. It's amazing eleven

124
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:41,159
Speaker 2: starting offensive linemen and the way they had to shuffle

125
00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:44,320
Speaker 2: them around. Chris Strausser never coached the zone scheme. He

126
00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:47,159
Speaker 2: should be better at it in his second season. So

127
00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:51,200
Speaker 2: the experience they got last year, in the continuity they

128
00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:54,640
Speaker 2: have with their play callers and Slowik Dimiko, I think

129
00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:57,720
Speaker 2: is going to help them tremendously. And I think you

130
00:06:57,760 --> 00:07:01,599
Speaker 2: know it's been tough for Cassario. Never admit this, but

131
00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:06,880
Speaker 2: he told us several times that he wanted his personal people.

132
00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:09,840
Speaker 2: They would meet with the position coaches and say, okay,

133
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:12,800
Speaker 2: what are you looking for at your position? Well, they

134
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:16,240
Speaker 2: had David Cully and his staff, They had Lovey Smith

135
00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:19,480
Speaker 2: and his staff. Now Dimiko Kemp a lot of love

136
00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:22,880
Speaker 2: He's coaches, but they had to learn a lot of

137
00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:26,880
Speaker 2: new position coaches what they wanted. Now they meaning Nick

138
00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:30,720
Speaker 2: and James Lipford and all the personnel people. It should

139
00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:35,080
Speaker 2: be better for them because they have continuity there as well.

140
00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:38,640
Speaker 2: So I just think the continuity that this team has

141
00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:42,000
Speaker 2: boats very well for what's going to happen next year

142
00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:43,720
Speaker 2: when they're going to have a chance to prove they

143
00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:45,600
Speaker 2: can play with the big boys.

144
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:48,360
Speaker 5: You bring us some good points about you never know

145
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:51,440
Speaker 5: what's going to happen type stuff and type signings general.

146
00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:54,760
Speaker 5: About a year ago, Devin Singletary was signed, and at

147
00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:56,520
Speaker 5: the time it was thought, all right, this is a

148
00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:58,920
Speaker 5: good backup the two and the one to two punch

149
00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:03,440
Speaker 5: with Damian Pierre. Turns out Singletary leads the team in rushing,

150
00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:06,440
Speaker 5: has his best year ever even though he's coming over

151
00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:08,920
Speaker 5: from the Bills, and he led them in rushing in

152
00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:12,400
Speaker 5: twenty twenty two. But what about that position group in general,

153
00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:15,400
Speaker 5: because you have Dara Gudbawally is a free agent. You

154
00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:17,400
Speaker 5: have a lot of work to do with running back,

155
00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:19,560
Speaker 5: and you never know how free agency's gonna go.

156
00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:21,720
Speaker 3: With Singletary, the.

157
00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:25,440
Speaker 2: Key is do the coaches believe Damian Pierce can learn

158
00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:29,600
Speaker 2: the scheme? If he can't. If they don't believe he can't,

159
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:32,400
Speaker 2: then he needs to be traded for a draft choice.

160
00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:35,240
Speaker 2: And it's not hard to find guys who can learn

161
00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:35,800
Speaker 2: the scheme.

162
00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:36,640
Speaker 4: Now.

163
00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:40,040
Speaker 2: Gary Kodiak dusted off of a practice squad guy who

164
00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:43,240
Speaker 2: covered kicks, who became the best running back in franchise

165
00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:45,600
Speaker 2: history and one of the best in the NFL. And

166
00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:49,400
Speaker 2: Arian Foster, Steve Slayton fit the system have what thirteen

167
00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:53,280
Speaker 2: hundred yards one season. You can find them if you

168
00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:56,720
Speaker 2: know what you're looking for. And Bobby Slowick knows what

169
00:08:56,800 --> 00:09:00,880
Speaker 2: he wants because that's the scheme they played in Washington,

170
00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:04,200
Speaker 2: That's the scheme they played in San Francisco. So I

171
00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:06,679
Speaker 2: think they will get it back. They're not going to

172
00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:09,120
Speaker 2: go I can't imagine blow a lot of money on

173
00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:12,120
Speaker 2: a running back. People ask about Derrick Henry and they're

174
00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:14,720
Speaker 2: not going to spend money for a thirty year running back.

175
00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:19,800
Speaker 2: And Saquon Barkley, no, Josh Jacobs, no, you know, there's

176
00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:22,520
Speaker 2: Isaiah Picheck goes out there. If you know what you're doing,

177
00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:25,200
Speaker 2: and they feint your scheme, and then the coaches coach

178
00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:27,480
Speaker 2: them up. And the coach has proven this past season

179
00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:31,600
Speaker 2: they can coach. You know, this team is really well coached.

180
00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:36,480
Speaker 2: And I think Singletary the most impressive thing he did

181
00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:39,520
Speaker 2: to me was he didn't fumble one time. He didn't

182
00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:42,800
Speaker 2: just fumble and they recovered it. He didn't fumble one time.

183
00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:47,280
Speaker 2: It was amazing. Only two players besides CJ. Strath lost

184
00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:51,240
Speaker 2: to fumble back and Schultz only two. And that's one

185
00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:55,040
Speaker 2: reason they were so good in the plus minus differential,

186
00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:58,320
Speaker 2: which helped him win those ten games in the playoff game.

187
00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:02,160
Speaker 2: But I feel confident, based on Strausser's experience, health in

188
00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:06,400
Speaker 2: the offensive line, and knowing what they want in the backfield,

189
00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:09,720
Speaker 2: that the running game will show the kind of improvement

190
00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:13,400
Speaker 2: that the run defense this time last year, where like,

191
00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:16,480
Speaker 2: oh my god, it's been the worst run defense in

192
00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:18,720
Speaker 2: the league for years. If they could just go from

193
00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:22,320
Speaker 2: thirty second to maybe twentieth or twenty second and they

194
00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:25,359
Speaker 2: ended f what sixth and if it wasn't for Indianapolis

195
00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:27,920
Speaker 2: they would have been third. And how many new players

196
00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:31,880
Speaker 2: did they have? Sheldon Rankins, Will Anderson Jr. Jimmy Ward

197
00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:36,880
Speaker 2: who has hurt a lot. And I think that this

198
00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:41,840
Speaker 2: offense is going to improve with minimal changes in the

199
00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:46,280
Speaker 2: run and because of the experience everybody has with what

200
00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:48,760
Speaker 2: they want and of course health.

201
00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:53,840
Speaker 6: General one area that I don't know it gets mentioned

202
00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:55,880
Speaker 6: every now and again. It kind of is like Landry

203
00:10:55,880 --> 00:11:00,000
Speaker 6: and John saying, well, nobody's actually talking about the secondary.

204
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:01,160
Speaker 1: There are some people talking about it.

205
00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:03,720
Speaker 6: They're looking at corner and they're thinking, Okay, well, you know,

206
00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:05,520
Speaker 6: corner is a corner.

207
00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:08,000
Speaker 1: Is a spot that you know might need to be

208
00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:11,960
Speaker 1: looked at. If you look at the roster as it sits.

209
00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:15,839
Speaker 6: Right now, there are only three players in the secondary

210
00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:18,480
Speaker 6: that were active in the game against Baltimore. Now is

211
00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:22,440
Speaker 6: Derek Stingly junior, Jalen Petrie and Kadar Holman. How do

212
00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:25,360
Speaker 6: you look at the secondary? Is this a bigger issue

213
00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:27,240
Speaker 6: than we think? And I know you've talked about this

214
00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:29,960
Speaker 6: a lot with San Francisco, like looking at San Francisco

215
00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:32,559
Speaker 6: using that as a model, and the model was always

216
00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:36,120
Speaker 6: get the defensive lineman first. Those guys are the ones

217
00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:38,040
Speaker 6: you drafted in the first and second round. You get

218
00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:41,600
Speaker 6: your cornerbacks later and your secondary players later.

219
00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:42,960
Speaker 1: How do you kind of look at.

220
00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:46,880
Speaker 6: The secondary with the number of free agents that are

221
00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:47,240
Speaker 6: back there.

222
00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:50,200
Speaker 1: I think the number is like seven back in the Bay.

223
00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:53,920
Speaker 6: I think that's right, seven unrestricted free agents at safety

224
00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:54,280
Speaker 6: and corner.

225
00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:55,840
Speaker 1: How do you kind of look at the secondary?

226
00:11:57,240 --> 00:12:00,880
Speaker 2: Differed a lot of people. I noticed yesterday Pro Football

227
00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:04,040
Speaker 2: Focus was lisiting two hundred top free agents, and the

228
00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:07,160
Speaker 2: time they got to the Texans number one free agent

229
00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:10,959
Speaker 2: was Steven Nelson at thirty five and Dalton Siltz at

230
00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:13,120
Speaker 2: thirty six. And I had to get on a talk

231
00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:14,920
Speaker 2: show and I didn't have to look to see where

232
00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:19,040
Speaker 2: I could find Grenard Singletary and Rankins and those guys

233
00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:23,920
Speaker 2: whose contracts are up. And if they re signed Nelson,

234
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:27,760
Speaker 2: who has played better for the Texans then he played

235
00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:30,080
Speaker 2: with all of his other teams. But he's thirty one.

236
00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:34,319
Speaker 2: They definitely need another corner, and I could see them

237
00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:37,719
Speaker 2: using a second round pick on a corner maybe, and

238
00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:40,120
Speaker 2: I think they'll draft more than one. They'll sign a

239
00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:43,640
Speaker 2: corner as well, and they need a couple of safeties.

240
00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:45,400
Speaker 4: You know, Jimmy Ward. Jimmy Ward.

241
00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:48,360
Speaker 2: If you look at his injury history with the forty

242
00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:50,920
Speaker 2: nine ers, he was our lot. The style of players

243
00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:54,200
Speaker 2: conduce it to injuries. They need to look for a

244
00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:56,680
Speaker 2: starting safety. I think it'd be a free agency. I

245
00:12:56,720 --> 00:13:01,120
Speaker 2: think they would draft one. The thing that's impressing that

246
00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:04,240
Speaker 2: Dimigo did with the forty nine ers. He took guys

247
00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:11,400
Speaker 2: like like Drake green Law and for my mind's gone back.

248
00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:16,280
Speaker 2: Fred's last name the linebacker, Yeah Fred Work and yeah

249
00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:18,480
Speaker 2: Fred Warner, who that people think maybe the best in

250
00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:22,040
Speaker 2: the league. And they developed those guys, and I think

251
00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:26,840
Speaker 2: Dimigo knows he can develop guys. Matt Burke basically was

252
00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:30,200
Speaker 2: the main defensive line coach last year. He's coordinator. That's

253
00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:34,000
Speaker 2: his baby. He did a tremendous job. He's back, and

254
00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:37,560
Speaker 2: so I think they know what they want. And I

255
00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:41,240
Speaker 2: think if they draft says safety low or a safety

256
00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:43,880
Speaker 2: in the middle round, say a fourth or fifth round,

257
00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:46,400
Speaker 2: they spend to get a corner or two, but the

258
00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:50,880
Speaker 2: secondary is definitely going to be have to be addressed.

259
00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:50,640
Speaker 4: You know.

260
00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:56,680
Speaker 2: I it was amazing what the season that Desmond King had.

261
00:13:57,480 --> 00:14:00,480
Speaker 4: They didn't want him. He left, He goes to Pittsbville didn't.

262
00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:02,960
Speaker 4: The squad came back here, played really well.

263
00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:07,440
Speaker 2: And uh, he's kind of like the box of chocolates.

264
00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:10,240
Speaker 2: You never know what you're gonna get. And uh, but

265
00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:14,679
Speaker 2: they will address safety and corner because especially I think

266
00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:17,120
Speaker 2: safety and free agency and corner.

267
00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:17,640
Speaker 1: In the draft.

268
00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:21,200
Speaker 5: All right, General, we don't know what's gonna happen with

269
00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:22,760
Speaker 5: that pick at twenty three.

270
00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:26,840
Speaker 3: But do you feel it, yes, he is. Oh, he's

271
00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:27,480
Speaker 3: gonna trade it.

272
00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:30,800
Speaker 4: No, he's gonna draft a defensive lineman.

273
00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:33,160
Speaker 3: All right, Okay, that's what you say.

274
00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:36,280
Speaker 5: But so you think it's more likely, let's go, let's

275
00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:38,640
Speaker 5: do more likely to happen right now, General, Okay.

276
00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:42,040
Speaker 3: More likely to move up or move back. What do

277
00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:44,120
Speaker 3: you think if he does move.

278
00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:49,000
Speaker 2: The pick, Well, he's Nick Cassario has showed he will

279
00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:51,920
Speaker 2: move up in rounds. But and he showed he move

280
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:54,560
Speaker 2: up in rounds and down in the first round. Look

281
00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:58,120
Speaker 2: at Kenyan Green, who is such a big part going

282
00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:00,480
Speaker 2: into his third season of with the offense. Some line

283
00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:03,560
Speaker 2: could be based on what Nick thought he could be when.

284
00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:04,200
Speaker 4: He drafted him.

285
00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:06,920
Speaker 2: I think if he would be more likely to move

286
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:13,440
Speaker 2: down because they have so many needs, If say three

287
00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:15,840
Speaker 2: players he liked were gone that he thought he could

288
00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:18,640
Speaker 2: get at twenty three, but he thinks three more could

289
00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:21,000
Speaker 2: be available at twenty eight or twenty nine. I could

290
00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:26,640
Speaker 2: see him dropping down. But it's one of the things

291
00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:29,160
Speaker 2: we know. Nick Sario is not going to sit on

292
00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:32,400
Speaker 2: his hands. He gets hands in his pants in the draft,

293
00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:35,040
Speaker 2: and he likes to move around and trade, and a

294
00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:38,080
Speaker 2: lot of those pigs work out, and so I can't

295
00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:40,960
Speaker 2: wait to see what he does. But if Gernard leaves,

296
00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:46,040
Speaker 2: even if Grenard's back, you need a third pass rusher outside.

297
00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:49,240
Speaker 2: You need another inside guy. They got the most they

298
00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:53,160
Speaker 2: could get out of kurnhein Ish and Khalil Davis, both

299
00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:57,560
Speaker 2: of whom played pretty well off the bench and much

300
00:15:57,600 --> 00:16:01,680
Speaker 2: better people thought they would. But they still will. I

301
00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:04,040
Speaker 2: think I don't know if it'll be a free agent

302
00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:07,520
Speaker 2: or draft somebody to be part of the rotation inside.

303
00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:11,440
Speaker 2: But if Garnard leaves, you got Will Anderson junior.

304
00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:14,280
Speaker 4: And who Dylan Horton. We don't know what Dylan Horton

305
00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:14,600
Speaker 4: could do.

306
00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:18,360
Speaker 2: Derek Barnett another great signing they had. I'm guessing he'll

307
00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:21,240
Speaker 2: be gone. But that's why you've got to get that

308
00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:24,040
Speaker 2: edge rusher and he's got to be somebody who can

309
00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:28,600
Speaker 2: play the run, because Anderson and Garnard together played the

310
00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:34,640
Speaker 2: run really well, as did Malik Collins and Rankins.

311
00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:37,200
Speaker 1: So general, you're at the top of the draft.

312
00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:39,920
Speaker 6: You Ryan Poles, a general manager of the Chicago Bears,

313
00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:43,320
Speaker 6: what do you do with pick number one and everything

314
00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:46,560
Speaker 6: that's involved with potentially what could go on there?

315
00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:49,840
Speaker 2: Well, first of all, there's no ways keeping Justin Fields.

316
00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:50,800
Speaker 4: He's not stupid.

317
00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:54,440
Speaker 2: Here's Justin Fils going into his third year, and nobody

318
00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:57,880
Speaker 2: can say as a franchise quarterback, whether it's him coaching

319
00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:01,760
Speaker 2: the talent they put around him, going up against Caleb Williams,

320
00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:05,040
Speaker 2: who people are comparing to Patrick Mahomes, which isn't fair,

321
00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:09,359
Speaker 2: but they're talking about what a great prospect he is,

322
00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:13,240
Speaker 2: how bad next year's draft looks for quarterback. The Bear's

323
00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:17,359
Speaker 2: gonna trade Phils, They're gonna take They're gonna take Caleb Williams,

324
00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:20,480
Speaker 2: and then when their second first round pick, they're either

325
00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:22,880
Speaker 2: gonna get somebody to help protect him or they're gonna

326
00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:26,240
Speaker 2: get somebody to help him move the ball by taking

327
00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:30,280
Speaker 2: one of the many talented receivers, and then they'll get

328
00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:33,800
Speaker 2: a second round pick and more. I think for Justin Fils,

329
00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:36,040
Speaker 2: maybe a two this year and a three next year.

330
00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:39,560
Speaker 2: The key with Fields is they need to get multiple

331
00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:43,240
Speaker 2: teams to bid to want him. And if you can

332
00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:45,440
Speaker 2: give multiple teams to want him, they got a better

333
00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:48,800
Speaker 2: chance of polishing somebody general.

334
00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:52,520
Speaker 5: Is there a chance give me a percentage that the

335
00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:57,520
Speaker 5: Titans would be operating without Will Levice? Not off the team,

336
00:17:57,640 --> 00:18:01,479
Speaker 5: but hey, we're gonna sign player. We're gonna go with

337
00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:04,000
Speaker 5: this because we have a new coach and we don't

338
00:18:04,280 --> 00:18:07,080
Speaker 5: like him as much as we could have. So let's

339
00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:10,119
Speaker 5: move on from Will Levice. Could that happen? What are

340
00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:12,440
Speaker 5: the percentage chances that it does?

341
00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:17,840
Speaker 2: I think part of Brian Callahan's interview process was how

342
00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:21,159
Speaker 2: much how highly he thought of Levis coming out of

343
00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:22,959
Speaker 2: college at Kentucky.

344
00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:24,720
Speaker 4: And so I think there's.

345
00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:27,800
Speaker 2: Very little chance they're gonna need a veteran quarterback. Ryan

346
00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:30,480
Speaker 2: Tannehill is going to leave. They think he may go

347
00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:34,119
Speaker 2: with Pittsburgh as the backup because Arthur Smith went there.

348
00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:38,320
Speaker 2: And by the way, does anybody see really Justin Fields

349
00:18:38,359 --> 00:18:42,480
Speaker 2: the quarterback in Pittsburgh. Is his style of play conducive

350
00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:46,520
Speaker 2: to anything the Steelers have done in their history and

351
00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:50,960
Speaker 2: maybe Jefferson Street Joe gillen Ash who moved around a

352
00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:53,840
Speaker 2: lot through on the run. No, that's not the kind

353
00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:57,880
Speaker 2: of quarterback. They have their quarterbacks like you know, they're

354
00:18:57,920 --> 00:19:01,679
Speaker 2: all about to run and play defense and special teams.

355
00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:05,119
Speaker 2: I do not see that. Atlanta seems like such a natural.

356
00:19:05,160 --> 00:19:08,760
Speaker 2: But the Raiders are desperate for a veteran quarterback as well,

357
00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:11,960
Speaker 2: and there's other teams that that's the key. The Bear

358
00:19:12,040 --> 00:19:14,280
Speaker 2: is going to come out smell like a rose two

359
00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:17,280
Speaker 2: years in a row. But because they're the Bears, they

360
00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:22,160
Speaker 2: may screw it up. But I think they like Levis.

361
00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:25,440
Speaker 2: I think Brian Callahan likes him. But they'll sign a veteran,

362
00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:29,760
Speaker 2: and if it might be a guy like Andy Dalton

363
00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:32,320
Speaker 2: who bounces around, there's going to be a bunch of

364
00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:37,400
Speaker 2: veteran quarterbacks available. And then at some point those dominoes

365
00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:40,080
Speaker 2: will start to fall and the Titans will have a

366
00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:43,240
Speaker 2: veteran because they don't believe in Malik Willis at all,

367
00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:46,439
Speaker 2: and he'll be there. A guy like Case Keenam has

368
00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:52,000
Speaker 2: done with CJ. Stroud. Cases like another coach. CJ's development.

369
00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:55,120
Speaker 2: Case does not get enough credit for what he's.

370
00:19:54,960 --> 00:19:55,640
Speaker 4: Done with him.

371
00:19:55,680 --> 00:19:59,960
Speaker 2: Behind the scenes and now much CJ trust case because

372
00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:03,920
Speaker 2: he's seen everything you can see from a player's standpoint,

373
00:20:04,080 --> 00:20:06,399
Speaker 2: and I think they're looking for that for Will Levis

374
00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:06,920
Speaker 2: as well.

375
00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:11,359
Speaker 6: General one the teams of Texas play Minnesota Vikings. Will

376
00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:14,600
Speaker 6: Kirk Cousins be the quarterback and the Minnesota Vikings in

377
00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:18,919
Speaker 6: twenty twenty four or will he ride the will he

378
00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:22,639
Speaker 6: be franchised? Will he move on and move on to

379
00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:24,800
Speaker 6: somewhere else? And if he does move somewhere else, what

380
00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:28,080
Speaker 6: makes the most sense for a guy at kirk Cousins.

381
00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:30,960
Speaker 2: John, I think he's gone. They won't give him a

382
00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:34,280
Speaker 2: guaranteed contract like they did the last time to me

383
00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:37,879
Speaker 2: at his age thirty six. He might get to maybe

384
00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:41,480
Speaker 2: three years guaranteed. And because of the market and the demand,

385
00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:44,520
Speaker 2: he's going to get it. I mean, he's better than

386
00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:48,720
Speaker 2: any veteran quarterback out there. Even though it's funny. When

387
00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:51,359
Speaker 2: he's with the Vikings, everybody blasted him because he couldn't

388
00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:54,680
Speaker 2: win anything important. Now that he's going to be unrestricted,

389
00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:57,919
Speaker 2: everybody loves him because he's the cream of the crop,

390
00:20:58,040 --> 00:21:02,600
Speaker 2: so to speak. And in Atlanta, Atlanta's got two really

391
00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:05,840
Speaker 2: good running backs, a good receiver, good tight end, good

392
00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:09,720
Speaker 2: offensive line led by Jake Matthews, and improving defense. They're

393
00:21:09,800 --> 00:21:12,679
Speaker 2: one player way, and if I'm them, I want a

394
00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:16,159
Speaker 2: guy like Cousins that I can get for just money

395
00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:20,080
Speaker 2: or feels if I can get for two and something

396
00:21:20,160 --> 00:21:23,159
Speaker 2: else next year. I don't want to try to trade

397
00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:25,639
Speaker 2: up and draft a guy who's going to take a

398
00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:29,080
Speaker 2: couple of years to develop, unlike ZJ. Stroud, because we

399
00:21:29,119 --> 00:21:33,520
Speaker 2: all know cjd having a rookie quarterback play like he

400
00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:34,800
Speaker 2: did is not the norm.

401
00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:38,360
Speaker 5: All right, back to the AFC South now, because Gardner

402
00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:40,600
Speaker 5: Minshew is a free agent. Johnny and I were talking

403
00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:43,800
Speaker 5: about this a week or two ago. Minshew out of

404
00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:46,800
Speaker 5: Indy would mean okay, Anthony Richardson, let's go.

405
00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:48,200
Speaker 3: Because he's got to be the guy.

406
00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:53,440
Speaker 5: However, injury history, who's the backup going to be? Are

407
00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:56,720
Speaker 5: you comfortable if you're Indy with Sam Ellinger or do

408
00:21:56,760 --> 00:21:59,240
Speaker 5: you have to resign Minshew? Does Minhue even want to

409
00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:01,640
Speaker 5: go back? Or what you'd rather go somewhere else? Your

410
00:22:01,680 --> 00:22:06,160
Speaker 5: thoughts on their backup quarterback situation because it's massively important for.

411
00:22:06,119 --> 00:22:10,320
Speaker 2: Them margin it won't be Sam Ellinger as the backup

412
00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:12,680
Speaker 2: or they were done that last year because Shane Styke

413
00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:16,159
Speaker 2: and had mentioned two years in Philadelphia really likes him,

414
00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:18,880
Speaker 2: because he showed he can step in and start if

415
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:22,120
Speaker 2: need be. I think they'll make every effort to bring

416
00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:26,399
Speaker 2: him back. But if another team is looking for a

417
00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:29,200
Speaker 2: guy who, say, as a bridge quarterback to start, I

418
00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:32,200
Speaker 2: wouldn't be surprised If the Raiders ain't no Coddlem. Maybe

419
00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:35,000
Speaker 2: he needs a veteran coming in there over him and

420
00:22:35,119 --> 00:22:35,720
Speaker 2: play a year.

421
00:22:36,359 --> 00:22:37,080
Speaker 3: But I.

422
00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:41,159
Speaker 2: Still think I've said this all season. I think if

423
00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:44,000
Speaker 2: Richardson had not gotten hurt, they would they would not

424
00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:46,720
Speaker 2: have been nearly as good because he would have struggled

425
00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:50,119
Speaker 2: only at thirteen starts at college, made a lot of

426
00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:52,520
Speaker 2: mistakes in the brief time he played, made some big

427
00:22:52,560 --> 00:22:56,439
Speaker 2: plays too, got hurt almost every game, and it'll be

428
00:22:56,680 --> 00:22:59,640
Speaker 2: interesting to watch next season to see if he tempers

429
00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:04,320
Speaker 2: his rambunctiousness as a runner, which eventually you have to do.

430
00:23:04,359 --> 00:23:06,960
Speaker 2: As you guys know, you got to make your living

431
00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:10,720
Speaker 2: from the pocket. You can run around and you can slide,

432
00:23:10,840 --> 00:23:14,040
Speaker 2: you can make big runs now and then like Mahomes,

433
00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:16,080
Speaker 2: but you got to be able to throw from the

434
00:23:16,119 --> 00:23:20,400
Speaker 2: pocket in the pocket area to be successful in the NFL,

435
00:23:20,520 --> 00:23:24,879
Speaker 2: which CJ. Stroud did so well as a rookie, and

436
00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:28,640
Speaker 2: so I think Andy could be in a rebuilding year

437
00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:31,119
Speaker 2: with Richardson being like a rookie again.

438
00:23:32,119 --> 00:23:35,920
Speaker 6: General is you're Trent BALKI, are you paying Trevor Lawrence

439
00:23:37,119 --> 00:23:40,400
Speaker 6: massive money this offseason or you're gonna wait one more year.

440
00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:43,560
Speaker 2: I think they better wait one more year because he

441
00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:48,280
Speaker 2: has not been the generational franchise quarterback. You know they

442
00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:52,320
Speaker 2: if you look at Trevor Lawrence and you look at CJ. Stroud,

443
00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:54,720
Speaker 2: if you had both of them up and every team

444
00:23:54,760 --> 00:23:57,520
Speaker 2: needed a quarterback, how many would take Lawrence over CJ.

445
00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:02,040
Speaker 2: I'm guessing none. And he's got to play the way

446
00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:04,680
Speaker 2: he was supposed to be when he was the best

447
00:24:04,720 --> 00:24:08,360
Speaker 2: prospect since Andrew Luck in twenty twelve. And he's been

448
00:24:08,440 --> 00:24:11,280
Speaker 2: up and down. He's been a hurt, he's played hurt.

449
00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:15,520
Speaker 2: He's tough, but he just hasn't been as great as

450
00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:17,320
Speaker 2: he should be. He's at a running game.

451
00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:18,399
Speaker 4: They've made a.

452
00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:20,720
Speaker 2: Lot of moves in the offensive line. May make another

453
00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:24,560
Speaker 2: move in the offensive line if they bring Calvin Ridley

454
00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:27,960
Speaker 2: back too Atlanta too instead of a three. So they've

455
00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:31,720
Speaker 2: got issues there. And Doug Peterson's under a lot of pressure,

456
00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:34,600
Speaker 2: you know, playing in this division. If he loses and

457
00:24:34,600 --> 00:24:37,480
Speaker 2: doesn't make the playoffs again, he could be out after

458
00:24:37,600 --> 00:24:40,960
Speaker 2: three seasons. But I sure wouldn't pay him now. But

459
00:24:41,080 --> 00:24:44,240
Speaker 2: they see him behind the scenes. If they believe his

460
00:24:44,760 --> 00:24:50,040
Speaker 2: issues in winning and playing consistently are about the talent

461
00:24:50,960 --> 00:24:54,000
Speaker 2: or maybe injuries we don't know about, then they should

462
00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:56,080
Speaker 2: go ahead and pull the trigger. But if it's me

463
00:24:56,240 --> 00:24:59,040
Speaker 2: looking from the outside, I would say he needs to

464
00:24:59,080 --> 00:25:01,320
Speaker 2: have a big year. If they do it now, it's

465
00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:04,840
Speaker 2: gonna be cheaper than what will be then, But man,

466
00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:06,199
Speaker 2: I want more proofs.

467
00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:10,960
Speaker 3: One sentence answer. Are movies making a comeback?

468
00:25:11,040 --> 00:25:15,879
Speaker 5: Not so much theaters necessarily, but movies in general. Streamers

469
00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:20,159
Speaker 5: cutting costs, shows harder to produce big budgets.

470
00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:22,520
Speaker 3: Are movies making a comeback?

471
00:25:22,560 --> 00:25:26,480
Speaker 2: General, And someone who's seen a lot of movies recently,

472
00:25:26,520 --> 00:25:30,160
Speaker 2: and we'll see a lot more. That's a comma As

473
00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:34,240
Speaker 2: someone who's seen a lot of movies, Comma films are

474
00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:38,320
Speaker 2: making a big comeback. And I like it because you

475
00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:41,359
Speaker 2: guys know how much I like like movies. The problem

476
00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:44,880
Speaker 2: was streaming. There's so many options. It's like going into

477
00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:48,640
Speaker 2: Baskin Robinson. You can't decide, so you want all of them.

478
00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:51,280
Speaker 2: The good thing about streaming if you can stay up

479
00:25:51,320 --> 00:25:55,040
Speaker 2: long enough like I do. I love watching things. I've

480
00:25:55,040 --> 00:25:58,000
Speaker 2: got so many shows. I like that right now, movies.

481
00:25:58,040 --> 00:26:02,119
Speaker 2: I'm eagerly anticipating singing, and the thing I'm most pumped

482
00:26:02,119 --> 00:26:06,920
Speaker 2: about is Shogun on FX. I read the James Glavel

483
00:26:07,119 --> 00:26:11,560
Speaker 2: book in nineteen eighty and finished on the ride back

484
00:26:11,640 --> 00:26:17,840
Speaker 2: from Cleveland after a Monday night football game because it

485
00:26:18,080 --> 00:26:23,800
Speaker 2: started that night, and I'm sorry the next night and

486
00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:26,560
Speaker 2: I got there, finished the book, watched it, thought it

487
00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:29,119
Speaker 2: was incredible, and I can't wait to see this.

488
00:26:29,240 --> 00:26:32,800
Speaker 3: One basket Robin Zezy. It's Rocky Road all day long.

489
00:26:32,840 --> 00:26:37,040
Speaker 2: All right, John, Thanks, I love Rocky Road too, guys,

490
00:26:37,320 --> 00:26:38,359
Speaker 2: thank you very much.

491
00:26:38,880 --> 00:26:39,159
Speaker 1: All right.

492
00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:42,240
Speaker 5: Coming up, we're gonna do Who's Better and we've got

493
00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:44,800
Speaker 5: games that are going to be played this season.

494
00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:46,560
Speaker 3: We'll dig into that a little bit on the.

495
00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:50,320
Speaker 5: College football playoff and more coming up on Texans Radio.

496
00:26:50,600 --> 00:26:53,120
Speaker 5: Headed for the weekend, but not quite there, because we've

497
00:26:53,160 --> 00:26:55,800
Speaker 5: got one more date to go. It's Texans Radio. Mark

498
00:26:55,840 --> 00:26:59,080
Speaker 5: Vandermere and John Harris with you. Johnny, are you ready

499
00:26:59,119 --> 00:27:02,000
Speaker 5: for who's better. Oh boy, yeah, let's go all right,

500
00:27:02,040 --> 00:27:05,399
Speaker 5: who's better? Better game this past season? So this is

501
00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:09,240
Speaker 5: a subjective thing really, although the one I think is

502
00:27:09,280 --> 00:27:12,439
Speaker 5: better is the right answer. Better game this past season?

503
00:27:12,720 --> 00:27:17,320
Speaker 5: Tampa Bay or Cincinnati? Which one was a better game?

504
00:27:18,640 --> 00:27:23,760
Speaker 5: I feel like Cincinnati for fifty seven minutes ish.

505
00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:28,040
Speaker 6: Was the better game because I thought we were the

506
00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:31,480
Speaker 6: clear better team.

507
00:27:31,720 --> 00:27:33,320
Speaker 1: I felt like for fifty seven minutes.

508
00:27:33,560 --> 00:27:35,520
Speaker 6: I remember being on the sidelines and we talked about

509
00:27:35,520 --> 00:27:37,360
Speaker 6: this turning to break and I remember at one point

510
00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:40,240
Speaker 6: I said, you guys like, hey, am I dumb?

511
00:27:40,359 --> 00:27:44,119
Speaker 1: Or we really kicking him around today? Yeah? Kicking, but

512
00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:46,320
Speaker 1: we really were getting after him, and.

513
00:27:46,280 --> 00:27:50,560
Speaker 6: So I I was like, man, we're really good. We

514
00:27:50,600 --> 00:27:53,360
Speaker 6: get that first down, three minutes and seventeen seconds left.

515
00:27:53,359 --> 00:27:55,920
Speaker 6: I'll never forget three minutes, seventeen seconds left, We get

516
00:27:55,960 --> 00:27:59,200
Speaker 6: the first downs, third and three ball game, we walk

517
00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:01,600
Speaker 6: out of there a temple win, a dominant win. Who knows,

518
00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:04,160
Speaker 6: maybe going down to score, I don't know, Yeah, it's

519
00:28:04,160 --> 00:28:06,480
Speaker 6: a dominant win. And that I would have felt like.

520
00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:11,720
Speaker 6: I think the way the Tampa Bay game went was

521
00:28:11,840 --> 00:28:14,960
Speaker 6: more like Ali.

522
00:28:15,280 --> 00:28:16,240
Speaker 1: Fraser fight.

523
00:28:16,600 --> 00:28:22,119
Speaker 6: Yeah, where they are just landing Haymakers. Wham wamit. Who

524
00:28:22,240 --> 00:28:24,119
Speaker 6: was gonna land the last one? And we landed the

525
00:28:24,200 --> 00:28:26,440
Speaker 6: last one in the fifteenth round. We ended up getting

526
00:28:26,440 --> 00:28:30,240
Speaker 6: to win. I think because a couple things. Number One,

527
00:28:30,359 --> 00:28:32,800
Speaker 6: I feel like that Tampa Bay game had so many

528
00:28:32,840 --> 00:28:36,640
Speaker 6: different nuances to it. Darya kicking a field goal, having

529
00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:39,480
Speaker 6: to come back from behind, I mean it was so

530
00:28:39,520 --> 00:28:42,680
Speaker 6: I'm gonna say the Tampa Bay game. Oh and the

531
00:28:42,760 --> 00:28:46,000
Speaker 6: last thing. I also felt like that is when the

532
00:28:46,560 --> 00:28:50,600
Speaker 6: Houston fans that day, in particular, the crowds grew and

533
00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:53,360
Speaker 6: grew and grew after that game, Like the fans that

534
00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:57,560
Speaker 6: were in there, I think were like, hey, y'all need

535
00:28:57,560 --> 00:29:00,520
Speaker 6: to see this team play because this is incredible what

536
00:29:00,560 --> 00:29:05,200
Speaker 6: they're doing. So I feel like that was that was

537
00:29:05,240 --> 00:29:07,600
Speaker 6: also kind of the final, the final thing, because every

538
00:29:07,640 --> 00:29:11,000
Speaker 6: every time after that was was incredible. So I'm gonna

539
00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:12,840
Speaker 6: go with the Tampa Bay game, even though I feel

540
00:29:12,840 --> 00:29:17,800
Speaker 6: like for fifty seven minutes of that Cincinnati game we

541
00:29:17,800 --> 00:29:19,640
Speaker 6: were dominant and it was great the way it ended

542
00:29:19,640 --> 00:29:21,480
Speaker 6: with Madame Mendola kicking that field goal, and great for

543
00:29:21,600 --> 00:29:25,280
Speaker 6: Matt the drive obviously put him in position. But I'm

544
00:29:25,320 --> 00:29:29,320
Speaker 6: gonna go with Tampa Bay game here just because everything

545
00:29:29,360 --> 00:29:29,840
Speaker 6: was involved.

546
00:29:29,840 --> 00:29:32,080
Speaker 5: What do you say that is the correct answer, Johnny,

547
00:29:32,120 --> 00:29:35,840
Speaker 5: you got it right, Okay, a subjective thing. Seventeen to

548
00:29:35,840 --> 00:29:38,080
Speaker 5: ten and a half, you're down. Then they kicked the

549
00:29:38,120 --> 00:29:39,440
Speaker 5: field goal, Tampa Bay.

550
00:29:39,280 --> 00:29:40,320
Speaker 1: Goes up ten to ten.

551
00:29:40,440 --> 00:29:42,600
Speaker 5: You down ten in the third quarter of this baby.

552
00:29:42,720 --> 00:29:47,040
Speaker 5: But then somehow you carve your way to a thirty

553
00:29:47,040 --> 00:29:50,960
Speaker 5: to twenty three lead on the Schultz touchdown reception. Oh

554
00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:53,640
Speaker 5: but wait a minute, they tie the game. You're right,

555
00:29:53,680 --> 00:29:55,680
Speaker 5: this is back and fith all over the place. Then

556
00:29:55,680 --> 00:29:58,160
Speaker 5: you go back up on the Daria Gounbowale twenty nine

557
00:29:58,200 --> 00:30:01,760
Speaker 5: yard field goal. But we all remember what happened Baker

558
00:30:01,840 --> 00:30:06,320
Speaker 5: Mayfield right down the field and fourteen yard touchdown reception.

559
00:30:06,240 --> 00:30:07,040
Speaker 1: And you're down.

560
00:30:07,280 --> 00:30:09,160
Speaker 3: After all that, you have.

561
00:30:09,040 --> 00:30:12,120
Speaker 5: To win this game, and they did because of that

562
00:30:12,280 --> 00:30:15,320
Speaker 5: Stroud drive Dell on the sideline than Dell fifteen yard

563
00:30:15,360 --> 00:30:17,080
Speaker 5: touchdown passed to win it. I think that was the

564
00:30:17,120 --> 00:30:19,680
Speaker 5: better game. They were both amazing games. We had so

565
00:30:19,760 --> 00:30:22,720
Speaker 5: many amazing games this year. It's fun to relive them, right.

566
00:30:22,680 --> 00:30:24,160
Speaker 1: It definitely is. There's no question.

567
00:30:24,200 --> 00:30:25,880
Speaker 6: I mean, thinking about the Tampa Bay game, like seeing

568
00:30:25,880 --> 00:30:28,240
Speaker 6: all those different things happen Noah Brown with that catch,

569
00:30:29,480 --> 00:30:33,320
Speaker 6: you know, the pumping go to Tank in the north

570
00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:37,760
Speaker 6: end zone and then standing you know near the you know,

571
00:30:37,880 --> 00:30:40,760
Speaker 6: near the goal line for that final play and watching

572
00:30:40,920 --> 00:30:44,920
Speaker 6: tank burst open, like tanks open. Oh my god, like

573
00:30:45,040 --> 00:30:48,240
Speaker 6: what happened? And then I don't know that truly. I

574
00:30:48,240 --> 00:30:49,960
Speaker 6: mean see it from the ground level, you can really

575
00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:52,320
Speaker 6: appreciate CJ making throws. But then when you see the

576
00:30:52,320 --> 00:30:54,400
Speaker 6: TV cop and you're like, boy, that ball was thrown

577
00:30:54,440 --> 00:30:57,280
Speaker 6: from a long distance away. Yeah, I mean a long

578
00:30:57,320 --> 00:30:59,480
Speaker 6: distance because we were like with the ten fifteen yard

579
00:30:59,520 --> 00:31:01,200
Speaker 6: line something that he takes a drop.

580
00:31:01,560 --> 00:31:03,360
Speaker 1: I mean it's a thirty five yard throw and he

581
00:31:03,400 --> 00:31:04,719
Speaker 1: puts it on the money.

582
00:31:05,720 --> 00:31:07,120
Speaker 6: And I was standing in the back of the end

583
00:31:07,160 --> 00:31:09,640
Speaker 6: z whena when Baker hit hot and I'm like, that

584
00:31:09,800 --> 00:31:12,080
Speaker 6: was a time those two went at it that day.

585
00:31:12,120 --> 00:31:13,600
Speaker 1: It was. That was incredible.

586
00:31:13,800 --> 00:31:14,000
Speaker 4: Good.

587
00:31:14,600 --> 00:31:17,640
Speaker 5: That's a good learn. All right, who's better? Let's go

588
00:31:18,240 --> 00:31:22,960
Speaker 5: which is tougher tougher game in twenty four Detroit at

589
00:31:22,960 --> 00:31:26,320
Speaker 5: home or green Bay on the road. So you have

590
00:31:26,360 --> 00:31:29,920
Speaker 5: the Lions coming here and we don't know when green

591
00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:32,080
Speaker 5: Bay on the road and we don't know when, could

592
00:31:32,080 --> 00:31:35,240
Speaker 5: be December with snow could be September where it's still nice,

593
00:31:35,360 --> 00:31:38,520
Speaker 5: really nice. Yeah, So which is the tougher game for

594
00:31:38,560 --> 00:31:40,720
Speaker 5: the Houston Texans and twenty four? I know Detroit is

595
00:31:40,720 --> 00:31:43,680
Speaker 5: the better team on paper, but things change and green

596
00:31:43,720 --> 00:31:46,240
Speaker 5: Bay really on the rise here You're gonna have to

597
00:31:46,440 --> 00:31:47,920
Speaker 5: deal with them at lambeau Field.

598
00:31:47,960 --> 00:31:50,680
Speaker 6: I'm gonna still say Detroit. I think Detroit's a bit

599
00:31:50,720 --> 00:31:53,040
Speaker 6: better than green Bay. I think green Bay is still young,

600
00:31:53,120 --> 00:31:56,560
Speaker 6: and I think they're younger than we are. And you

601
00:31:56,600 --> 00:32:01,640
Speaker 6: know that's that's saying something. So going up and look,

602
00:32:02,280 --> 00:32:04,840
Speaker 6: you know that that I was a big fan and

603
00:32:04,880 --> 00:32:06,240
Speaker 6: have been a big fan of Jordan Love for a

604
00:32:06,240 --> 00:32:08,320
Speaker 6: long time. You know, Drey and I are definitely you know,

605
00:32:08,920 --> 00:32:13,600
Speaker 6: pushing the pushing the ovelope with that one. And I

606
00:32:13,600 --> 00:32:16,600
Speaker 6: think going up to Lambo is I mean the Texas

607
00:32:16,640 --> 00:32:19,000
Speaker 6: have won there before. I mean they didn't win in sixteen,

608
00:32:19,160 --> 00:32:24,120
Speaker 6: but played pretty well defensively, in particular until Rogers made a.

609
00:32:24,080 --> 00:32:29,080
Speaker 1: Couple of plays points just couldn't score. But I it's

610
00:32:29,160 --> 00:32:31,080
Speaker 1: it's weird. I don't know. Maybe it's because I grew

611
00:32:31,160 --> 00:32:32,400
Speaker 1: up there and went there as a kid.

612
00:32:32,440 --> 00:32:36,600
Speaker 6: I don't find Lambo intimidating, really, I don't find Lambo intimidating.

613
00:32:36,840 --> 00:32:40,760
Speaker 6: I find it to be a very intimate, romantic, wonderful

614
00:32:40,760 --> 00:32:45,600
Speaker 6: football environment. I don't find it intimidating. I think with Detroit,

615
00:32:46,200 --> 00:32:48,040
Speaker 6: you're coming in with one of the best offensive lines

616
00:32:48,040 --> 00:32:50,200
Speaker 6: in the league, one of the best one to two combinations,

617
00:32:50,200 --> 00:32:53,560
Speaker 6: and running back, great receivers. I think golf has done

618
00:32:53,560 --> 00:32:55,600
Speaker 6: a tremendous job. The defense has gotten better and better.

619
00:32:56,240 --> 00:32:58,920
Speaker 6: I think that Detroit man, i'd put that Detroit Houston

620
00:32:58,960 --> 00:32:59,720
Speaker 6: game on prime time.

621
00:32:59,760 --> 00:33:02,240
Speaker 3: But you know, I'll take it. I'll take it.

622
00:33:02,280 --> 00:33:04,239
Speaker 5: This crowd is going to be sky high for all

623
00:33:04,280 --> 00:33:06,240
Speaker 5: these games with that one in particular.

624
00:33:06,320 --> 00:33:08,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, they come in on that.

625
00:33:08,240 --> 00:33:11,480
Speaker 5: Side, especially if you don't know, you don't know what

626
00:33:11,520 --> 00:33:13,680
Speaker 5: the record's going to be at that point. Is it early,

627
00:33:13,800 --> 00:33:15,760
Speaker 5: is it late? We don't know these things. We'll find

628
00:33:15,760 --> 00:33:17,640
Speaker 5: out in May when the schedules released. But I thought

629
00:33:17,640 --> 00:33:19,280
Speaker 5: that was a fun one to chew up. All right,

630
00:33:19,760 --> 00:33:24,680
Speaker 5: better situation for this particular team coming into twenty twenty four,

631
00:33:25,160 --> 00:33:28,840
Speaker 5: Cincinnati or Miami, Now think about this. The Bengals get

632
00:33:28,920 --> 00:33:31,160
Speaker 5: Joe Burrow back healthy, and they went nine to eight

633
00:33:31,240 --> 00:33:34,600
Speaker 5: without him down the stretch. But they looked at the

634
00:33:34,600 --> 00:33:38,120
Speaker 5: other three teams in their division go to the postseason.

635
00:33:38,240 --> 00:33:40,280
Speaker 5: The Ravens had the top record, and you look at

636
00:33:40,320 --> 00:33:42,720
Speaker 5: the Steelers making it. Then you look at, obviously the

637
00:33:42,760 --> 00:33:45,280
Speaker 5: Cleveland Browns with a lot of good things going for

638
00:33:45,320 --> 00:33:48,000
Speaker 5: them down the stretch with Joe Flacco until they came here,

639
00:33:48,640 --> 00:33:52,600
Speaker 5: or the Miami Dolphins who didn't go well down the stretch.

640
00:33:52,680 --> 00:33:55,200
Speaker 3: Injuries played a huge part in that.

641
00:33:55,320 --> 00:33:58,840
Speaker 5: Now new defensive coordinator with our buddy Anthony Weaver, among

642
00:33:58,920 --> 00:34:05,040
Speaker 5: other changes. Better situation in twenty four, Cincinnati or Miami.

643
00:34:05,520 --> 00:34:06,600
Speaker 1: Boy, that's a tough one.

644
00:34:06,880 --> 00:34:10,879
Speaker 6: Ye, my my lean would be Miami because I still

645
00:34:10,880 --> 00:34:14,080
Speaker 6: think Tyreek is the most explosive offensive player in the

646
00:34:14,120 --> 00:34:17,160
Speaker 6: league minus all the quarterbacks, and I think having him

647
00:34:17,160 --> 00:34:18,640
Speaker 6: on the side, you know, having him on the field.

648
00:34:18,960 --> 00:34:21,480
Speaker 1: And you know, I said this to you during training camp.

649
00:34:21,719 --> 00:34:23,600
Speaker 6: You know, I'm kind of floating around watching and so

650
00:34:23,680 --> 00:34:26,360
Speaker 6: the day that I was watching the Texans defense against

651
00:34:26,360 --> 00:34:28,480
Speaker 6: the offense offense, I remember you walked over to how

652
00:34:28,560 --> 00:34:31,359
Speaker 6: things going. I said, when Tyreek's off the field, we're

653
00:34:31,400 --> 00:34:35,120
Speaker 6: shutting him down. When he's on the field, it's bleep

654
00:34:35,120 --> 00:34:36,480
Speaker 6: a Tyreek's down there, I'll just throw it.

655
00:34:36,640 --> 00:34:38,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, And then they would move the ball.

656
00:34:39,160 --> 00:34:41,840
Speaker 6: Now, you know, h Chan, I think is going to

657
00:34:41,880 --> 00:34:43,520
Speaker 6: be a bigger part of the offense going forward, and

658
00:34:43,520 --> 00:34:45,239
Speaker 6: that's just going to give him that speed component. But

659
00:34:45,320 --> 00:34:47,200
Speaker 6: I think for Miami the biggest key is do you

660
00:34:47,239 --> 00:34:51,040
Speaker 6: get Chubb and or Phillips back? Those two edge rushers

661
00:34:51,040 --> 00:34:53,760
Speaker 6: are dynamic together, really good.

662
00:34:54,280 --> 00:34:56,120
Speaker 1: But do you get either one of them back?

663
00:34:57,160 --> 00:34:59,440
Speaker 6: And because you paid so many guys and now you're

664
00:34:59,480 --> 00:35:02,359
Speaker 6: gonna have to pay to at some point, which that's

665
00:35:02,400 --> 00:35:05,080
Speaker 6: gonna be another conversation. I just feel like there's not

666
00:35:05,200 --> 00:35:07,840
Speaker 6: a lot Miami can do to improve that team. But

667
00:35:08,560 --> 00:35:11,719
Speaker 6: Joe Burrow coming back for Cincinnati, I think it gives

668
00:35:11,760 --> 00:35:12,720
Speaker 6: them a better Where.

669
00:35:12,600 --> 00:35:13,280
Speaker 3: Do they get picked?

670
00:35:13,800 --> 00:35:17,560
Speaker 5: Second? Where would you pick the Bengals right now? I

671
00:35:17,600 --> 00:35:19,280
Speaker 5: know free agency is to oc second.

672
00:35:19,840 --> 00:35:21,480
Speaker 6: Second, I think they're better than I think they're better

673
00:35:21,480 --> 00:35:23,480
Speaker 6: than the Browns and Steelers when Joe Burrow's there. So

674
00:35:23,800 --> 00:35:26,520
Speaker 6: I'm gonna go. I'm gonna go Cincinnati. I go Cincinnati

675
00:35:26,560 --> 00:35:31,680
Speaker 6: now one, but very very close. Okay, who's better? Better format?

676
00:35:32,160 --> 00:35:36,200
Speaker 6: Which is a better format for the playoffs? FBS now with.

677
00:35:36,200 --> 00:35:39,200
Speaker 5: Twelve teams to be fourteen eventually, but now with twelve

678
00:35:39,200 --> 00:35:44,560
Speaker 5: teams or FCS with twenty four teams eight get a bye,

679
00:35:44,880 --> 00:35:49,080
Speaker 5: twenty four teams or twelve teams better format.

680
00:35:49,600 --> 00:35:52,799
Speaker 6: I like the I like the FCS format because I

681
00:35:52,840 --> 00:35:55,600
Speaker 6: mean the twenty fourteen that the number's gotten, it keeps

682
00:35:55,640 --> 00:35:58,399
Speaker 6: going up and up and up, and I'm not sure

683
00:35:58,440 --> 00:36:02,239
Speaker 6: I love that. However, I love the on campus games.

684
00:36:02,600 --> 00:36:02,799
Speaker 1: Yeah.

685
00:36:03,080 --> 00:36:08,920
Speaker 6: I went to in the spring North Dakota State. No, no, no,

686
00:36:08,920 --> 00:36:10,840
Speaker 6: it was James Madison at that point. It was James

687
00:36:10,840 --> 00:36:15,400
Speaker 6: Madison and Sam up at Bower Stadium, and I just

688
00:36:15,440 --> 00:36:17,200
Speaker 6: went there as a fan one of my.

689
00:36:17,160 --> 00:36:19,160
Speaker 1: Friend Don and spring during there.

690
00:36:19,560 --> 00:36:22,000
Speaker 6: So the COVID year got moved to the spring, right,

691
00:36:22,160 --> 00:36:25,560
Speaker 6: so James Madison's got to come down and play Sam

692
00:36:25,600 --> 00:36:28,000
Speaker 6: because Sam was undefeated. They were to higher seed, so

693
00:36:28,320 --> 00:36:30,640
Speaker 6: or the better seed, so they can mark that game

694
00:36:30,719 --> 00:36:33,080
Speaker 6: was incredible. I mean, the game was incredible and of itself,

695
00:36:33,719 --> 00:36:38,840
Speaker 6: but just the on campus environment I think creates I

696
00:36:38,880 --> 00:36:40,680
Speaker 6: don't know, I think it creates a little bit better game.

697
00:36:40,760 --> 00:36:45,120
Speaker 6: I just wish that they would take these f's you

698
00:36:45,160 --> 00:36:48,960
Speaker 6: know FBS, you know, Division one whatever, and make just

699
00:36:49,080 --> 00:36:52,840
Speaker 6: go two rounds on campus. First round obviously, you know,

700
00:36:52,880 --> 00:36:54,719
Speaker 6: four teams gonna buy, but to the next one on

701
00:36:54,760 --> 00:36:57,279
Speaker 6: campus really give incentive to be one of the top

702
00:36:57,280 --> 00:36:59,840
Speaker 6: four teams in the country. That I mean the incentive

703
00:36:59,880 --> 00:37:02,000
Speaker 6: the get in that top four where you would get

704
00:37:02,000 --> 00:37:04,439
Speaker 6: a buy and then a home game. Man, it would

705
00:37:04,480 --> 00:37:08,520
Speaker 6: be incredible. So from that standpoint, I wish they would

706
00:37:08,520 --> 00:37:09,640
Speaker 6: do that. And then all of a sudden, we talk

707
00:37:09,680 --> 00:37:11,640
Speaker 6: about twelve and then they're going to fourteen, Like just

708
00:37:12,800 --> 00:37:14,960
Speaker 6: I knew it would happen, Like once they dabbled in

709
00:37:15,000 --> 00:37:19,080
Speaker 6: the playoff is like, oh, this is really cool. Yeah,

710
00:37:20,920 --> 00:37:23,680
Speaker 6: it's really cool. And the thing is now the championship

711
00:37:23,680 --> 00:37:26,080
Speaker 6: game here I thought was it was a five ball game,

712
00:37:26,160 --> 00:37:29,280
Speaker 6: well a great one. It was competitive up until holding

713
00:37:29,280 --> 00:37:31,600
Speaker 6: call in Washington and then everything broke down from there.

714
00:37:32,520 --> 00:37:37,000
Speaker 6: But the semifinal night the last two years has been

715
00:37:37,200 --> 00:37:40,560
Speaker 6: unbelievable because this past year you had Washington Texas and

716
00:37:40,600 --> 00:37:43,640
Speaker 6: you had Michigan Alabama. So Michigan Alabama goes over time

717
00:37:43,920 --> 00:37:46,600
Speaker 6: Washington Texas comes down to final play. For that, you

718
00:37:46,640 --> 00:37:51,920
Speaker 6: had CG against Georgia and you had TCU Michigan. Like

719
00:37:51,960 --> 00:37:55,440
Speaker 6: the last two years, the semifinal games have been unbelievable.

720
00:37:56,160 --> 00:37:59,799
Speaker 6: Now expand that and like whoa this is gonna get really,

721
00:37:59,800 --> 00:38:03,160
Speaker 6: really good. However, I love the FCS format. You got

722
00:38:03,160 --> 00:38:07,160
Speaker 6: twenty four top eight teams get buy that's great, but

723
00:38:07,239 --> 00:38:09,279
Speaker 6: you play it on campus until you get to the

724
00:38:09,320 --> 00:38:10,080
Speaker 6: championship game.

725
00:38:10,120 --> 00:38:10,880
Speaker 1: I love that form.

726
00:38:10,960 --> 00:38:11,040
Speaker 6: You know.

727
00:38:11,120 --> 00:38:14,560
Speaker 5: It's weird though, the bowl games and the traditional bowl games.

728
00:38:14,600 --> 00:38:16,960
Speaker 5: We got a great bowl game here, and it was

729
00:38:17,040 --> 00:38:20,759
Speaker 5: invented within the last twenty years after the demise of

730
00:38:20,800 --> 00:38:23,360
Speaker 5: the Houston Bowl and before that the Blue Bonnet Bowl.

731
00:38:23,600 --> 00:38:25,759
Speaker 5: So leave Houston out of it for the moment. But

732
00:38:25,880 --> 00:38:29,000
Speaker 5: the traditional New Year's Day Bowl games? Can you really

733
00:38:29,000 --> 00:38:31,399
Speaker 5: be happy about this if you're a traditionalist as far

734
00:38:31,400 --> 00:38:33,720
Speaker 5: as the bowl games go. I've got the Orange Bowl,

735
00:38:34,000 --> 00:38:36,560
Speaker 5: and yeah, we still play the Orange Bowl. But and

736
00:38:36,600 --> 00:38:39,840
Speaker 5: it's a great game, it's a playoff game. Meanwhile, you

737
00:38:39,840 --> 00:38:42,680
Speaker 5: have the most successful sports league in the world playing

738
00:38:43,080 --> 00:38:46,560
Speaker 5: home sites until you get to one neutral site game

739
00:38:46,560 --> 00:38:47,600
Speaker 5: for the championship.

740
00:38:48,000 --> 00:38:49,400
Speaker 3: Are we headed there? I don't know.

741
00:38:49,440 --> 00:38:51,680
Speaker 5: I don't think we either of us can answer that question.

742
00:38:51,800 --> 00:38:55,120
Speaker 6: Name is sport in which name is sport in which

743
00:38:56,040 --> 00:39:00,360
Speaker 6: the home field advantage is taken away from team in

744
00:39:00,400 --> 00:39:00,719
Speaker 6: a sense?

745
00:39:00,880 --> 00:39:04,120
Speaker 5: N CAA tournament, NCAA tournament, and you could argue that's

746
00:39:04,120 --> 00:39:05,080
Speaker 5: the greatest tournament in the world.

747
00:39:05,120 --> 00:39:05,920
Speaker 3: That's what we're modeling.

748
00:39:07,000 --> 00:39:10,560
Speaker 6: And well, that's that's the thing the colleges have said.

749
00:39:10,680 --> 00:39:13,920
Speaker 6: You know that neutral site game matters. Well in college football,

750
00:39:14,000 --> 00:39:16,120
Speaker 6: the bowl games matter. So that's the World Cup. It's

751
00:39:16,120 --> 00:39:19,840
Speaker 6: the way they've gone about it. But everywhere else you play,

752
00:39:20,040 --> 00:39:20,719
Speaker 6: you play.

753
00:39:22,239 --> 00:39:24,719
Speaker 1: You know, on your home site. So you're right, n

754
00:39:24,760 --> 00:39:25,440
Speaker 1: Cuba tournament.

755
00:39:25,440 --> 00:39:27,280
Speaker 6: Glad you said that, because I was kind of asking

756
00:39:27,640 --> 00:39:29,560
Speaker 6: rhetorical like there isn't one, but yi, there is.

757
00:39:29,560 --> 00:39:30,720
Speaker 1: There's an CCA.

758
00:39:30,360 --> 00:39:32,600
Speaker 5: Tournament's a World Cup, which is different because that's more

759
00:39:32,600 --> 00:39:33,240
Speaker 5: like an Olympics.

760
00:39:33,320 --> 00:39:35,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's that's exactly.

761
00:39:36,800 --> 00:39:40,840
Speaker 6: But you know, obviously talking about domestically, it is the

762
00:39:40,920 --> 00:39:43,840
Speaker 6: NCAA tournament. Well, now you've got ANCLA football kind of

763
00:39:43,840 --> 00:39:46,120
Speaker 6: doing the thing. I think what's frustrating in some sense

764
00:39:46,280 --> 00:39:52,880
Speaker 6: is in the football world, every division at the football

765
00:39:53,280 --> 00:39:55,960
Speaker 6: you know, now, Texas does a little bit differently differently

766
00:39:56,000 --> 00:39:57,960
Speaker 6: in high school because they have you know, neutral site

767
00:39:58,000 --> 00:40:03,120
Speaker 6: games and things like that, but the home field advantage matters,

768
00:40:03,400 --> 00:40:05,240
Speaker 6: I mean, it really really matters.

769
00:40:05,320 --> 00:40:07,920
Speaker 5: I like the text the Texas high School football playoffs.

770
00:40:08,000 --> 00:40:10,200
Speaker 5: Does it go on a long time. Yes, it does

771
00:40:10,280 --> 00:40:11,080
Speaker 5: in six weeks.

772
00:40:11,480 --> 00:40:12,000
Speaker 1: I get it.

773
00:40:12,440 --> 00:40:14,920
Speaker 3: But I do like it for these kids.

774
00:40:14,760 --> 00:40:17,279
Speaker 5: Who don't necessarily play in the semi finals of the

775
00:40:17,320 --> 00:40:19,640
Speaker 5: final to have a chance to play in an NFL

776
00:40:19,680 --> 00:40:20,560
Speaker 5: type stadium or a.

777
00:40:20,520 --> 00:40:22,920
Speaker 3: Big stadium, man, big neutral site game.

778
00:40:23,200 --> 00:40:26,040
Speaker 5: They look a lot of these high schools play in

779
00:40:26,080 --> 00:40:27,200
Speaker 5: neutral sites anyway.

780
00:40:27,320 --> 00:40:29,839
Speaker 3: They're not really home stadiums, right.

781
00:40:29,520 --> 00:40:31,520
Speaker 1: Right, right, Yeah, they play in a community stadium.

782
00:40:31,560 --> 00:40:33,880
Speaker 5: I'm down at Mercer. That's a community stadium asolutely. I

783
00:40:33,880 --> 00:40:35,840
Speaker 5: mean it's a home field for so many.

784
00:40:35,800 --> 00:40:39,120
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean playing in the Astronome nineteen eighty nine.

785
00:40:39,160 --> 00:40:41,360
Speaker 6: December first, nineteen eighty nine date will stick with me.

786
00:40:41,800 --> 00:40:44,000
Speaker 6: Don't ask me my wife's birthday, but I'll remember December first,

787
00:40:44,040 --> 00:40:44,880
Speaker 6: nineteen eighty nine.

788
00:40:45,719 --> 00:40:46,240
Speaker 1: I'm kidding.

Speaker 6: May twentieth, Oh you had to do that. Well yeah,

790
00:40:49,320 --> 00:40:51,680
Speaker 6: I won't say the year because sugar really matter. Okay,

791
00:40:51,719 --> 00:40:55,720
Speaker 6: but May twentieth. Anyways, going and playing in the Astronom,

792
00:40:55,760 --> 00:40:58,160
Speaker 6: that was a huge goal of ours. Yeah, we played

793
00:40:58,160 --> 00:41:00,760
Speaker 6: the first We played the first playoff game over Tully Stadium.

794
00:41:00,960 --> 00:41:02,640
Speaker 6: It was on Thanksgiving night and I'm like, man, there's

795
00:41:02,640 --> 00:41:04,520
Speaker 6: nobody gonna be there. It's like fifteen thousand people. It

796
00:41:04,560 --> 00:41:07,200
Speaker 6: was a crush. Then we played We played p andng

797

Speaker 6: Portinities Groves and they brought bus after bus after bus.

798
00:41:10,960 --> 00:41:11,880
Speaker 1: There were three Phillips.

799
00:41:12,040 --> 00:41:14,359
Speaker 6: There are thirty thousand people in that stadium that night

800
00:41:14,440 --> 00:41:15,239
Speaker 6: in the astronoum.

801
00:41:15,239 --> 00:41:16,839
Speaker 1: That's my last high school game. I mean, you talk

802
00:41:16,880 --> 00:41:18,560
Speaker 1: about you talk about cool.

803
00:41:18,760 --> 00:41:21,560
Speaker 5: Was Billy Bob Thornton there. It felt like it. It

804
00:41:21,640 --> 00:41:25,080
Speaker 5: felt like it. It felt like he was coaching p G.

805
00:41:25,480 --> 00:41:28,080
Speaker 5: We handed out the booby miles. We were trying to

806
00:41:28,080 --> 00:41:30,720
Speaker 5: get the victory. All right, that's it for this segment.

807

Speaker 5: Coming up, Automatic Rapid Fire Mini Draft with John Harris.

808
00:41:35,239 --> 00:41:38,720

809
00:41:39,120 --> 00:41:39,520
Speaker 3: Nothing?

810
00:41:39,600 --> 00:41:42,640

815
00:41:51,840 --> 00:41:54,480
Speaker 5: I'm gonna set this up for you. I've got the

816
00:41:54,520 --> 00:41:58,279
Speaker 5: Texans selections ahead of me and I am going to

817
00:41:58,320 --> 00:42:01,680
Speaker 5: play Nick Cassio. And you know what, I've been busy

818
00:42:01,719 --> 00:42:04,320
Speaker 5: this offseason. I really haven't done all my draft preps.

819
00:42:04,360 --> 00:42:05,600
Speaker 5: So now I'm relying on you.

820
00:42:05,719 --> 00:42:07,480
Speaker 3: John Harril coakers selections for me.

821
00:42:07,600 --> 00:42:07,880
Speaker 1: Gotcha?

822
00:42:07,960 --> 00:42:08,400
Speaker 3: All right?

823
00:42:08,480 --> 00:42:12,280
Speaker 1: So here we go, first pick of the draft.

824
00:42:12,320 --> 00:42:14,400
Speaker 5: I'm not going to make any trades either because my

825
00:42:14,480 --> 00:42:15,280
Speaker 5: phone is broken.

826
00:42:15,520 --> 00:42:17,600
Speaker 3: All right, Well, apparently that happens.

827
00:42:17,640 --> 00:42:21,120
Speaker 5: I don't have the Texans partner of Horizon as my service,

828
00:42:21,120 --> 00:42:24,080
Speaker 5: although Nick would, and I don't, and I don't have

829
00:42:24,120 --> 00:42:25,400
Speaker 5: phone service, So no trades.

830
00:42:25,440 --> 00:42:25,719
Speaker 1: All right.

831
00:42:25,760 --> 00:42:28,560
Speaker 3: Here we go, first round, pick number twenty three.

832
00:42:29,440 --> 00:42:31,799
Speaker 5: Here Nick sets it up like this, Johnny, I am

833
00:42:31,920 --> 00:42:37,120
Speaker 5: looking for the best defensive front seven guy available at

834
00:42:37,200 --> 00:42:41,640
Speaker 5: this point. Who might that be at pick number twenty three?

835
00:42:41,680 --> 00:42:42,960
Speaker 5: Give me a player I should take.

836
00:42:43,120 --> 00:42:46,719
Speaker 6: I think if you're if you're looking inside, you know,

837
00:42:46,760 --> 00:42:48,960
Speaker 6: Biron Murphy would be a dream pick at twenty three.

838
00:42:49,000 --> 00:42:51,960
Speaker 6: He's probably the best interior player in this draft.

839
00:42:52,160 --> 00:42:53,560
Speaker 1: To Jean Newton from Illinois.

840
00:42:53,600 --> 00:42:55,120
Speaker 6: Can do a lot of different things up and down

841
00:42:55,160 --> 00:42:58,799
Speaker 6: as an interior guy. Once you get outside, you might

842
00:42:58,920 --> 00:43:01,759
Speaker 6: get light lot too from out of Ucla to fall

843
00:43:01,840 --> 00:43:03,960
Speaker 6: to you at twenty three, which would be nice. Braylan Trice,

844
00:43:03,960 --> 00:43:06,200
Speaker 6: I'm a big fan of that. Washington plays out out

845
00:43:06,239 --> 00:43:08,040
Speaker 6: the edgew saw him here in National Championship game.

846
00:43:08,640 --> 00:43:10,520
Speaker 1: I like him. I've been a big fan of his game.

847
00:43:10,560 --> 00:43:12,400
Speaker 6: He's kind of reminds me of Joe Tryon, who went

848
00:43:12,440 --> 00:43:13,839
Speaker 6: the last pick of the first round a few years

849
00:43:13,840 --> 00:43:15,839
Speaker 6: ago from Washington went to Tampa Bay.

850
00:43:16,560 --> 00:43:18,520
Speaker 1: Chop Robinson from out of Penn State. He's put on

851
00:43:18,560 --> 00:43:20,560
Speaker 1: some weight. It's about two fifty four to fifty five.

852
00:43:21,040 --> 00:43:23,120
Speaker 6: So those would be the five I would look at

853
00:43:23,160 --> 00:43:24,680
Speaker 6: from a defensive line perspective.

854
00:43:24,680 --> 00:43:26,600
Speaker 5: If we're on the clock Draft night, we're doing our

855
00:43:26,640 --> 00:43:29,520
Speaker 5: Texans radio show, We're all fired up and Lot two

856
00:43:29,560 --> 00:43:32,600
Speaker 5: is on the board. How excited are you if we

857
00:43:32,680 --> 00:43:33,440
Speaker 5: grabbed a lot too?

858
00:43:33,520 --> 00:43:34,799
Speaker 1: Right now, I'm very excited.

859
00:43:35,040 --> 00:43:36,759
Speaker 6: And my guess is that a Lot two would be

860
00:43:36,800 --> 00:43:40,520
Speaker 6: the pick of twenty three because you haven't been able

861
00:43:40,560 --> 00:43:43,040
Speaker 6: to sign somebody, or maybe you haven't made a splash

862
00:43:43,080 --> 00:43:45,040
Speaker 6: signing at defensive end, or you know.

863
00:43:45,239 --> 00:43:45,520
Speaker 3: That's all.

864
00:43:45,520 --> 00:43:47,640
Speaker 6: I'm back whereever you and look at it edge rusher

865
00:43:48,000 --> 00:43:49,480
Speaker 6: and you have to go a lot to look Lot

866
00:43:49,480 --> 00:43:52,440
Speaker 6: two's is skilled a pass rusher. You go check out

867
00:43:52,440 --> 00:43:54,759
Speaker 6: my YouTube at Jage Football Takeover. You can check out

868
00:43:55,160 --> 00:43:57,960
Speaker 6: the breakdown I do. He he works a move and

869
00:43:58,040 --> 00:43:59,600
Speaker 6: it just so happened. The ones that I picked from

870
00:43:59,640 --> 00:44:02,239
Speaker 6: a video called a Eurocross chop or a jump through

871
00:44:02,239 --> 00:44:05,000
Speaker 6: cross chop, and it's kind of Aaron Donald's move. He

872
00:44:05,160 --> 00:44:07,600
Speaker 6: is a lot who is so skilled at it. He's incredible.

873
00:44:07,719 --> 00:44:10,799
Speaker 6: But his bend, he had more TFLs than anybody. I

874
00:44:10,800 --> 00:44:12,399
Speaker 6: think he still has to play the run a little

875
00:44:12,400 --> 00:44:18,200
Speaker 6: bit more violently, but he's very astute at slipping blocks,

876
00:44:18,280 --> 00:44:20,200
Speaker 6: kind of sliding underneath blocks, making plays.

877
00:44:20,680 --> 00:44:22,759
Speaker 1: He's a fun player. We got him at twenty three. Man,

878
00:44:22,800 --> 00:44:24,160
Speaker 1: Holy cowed. Feel good about that.

879
00:44:24,239 --> 00:44:27,200
Speaker 5: Okay, let's go to the second round here, and I've

880
00:44:27,200 --> 00:44:30,160
Speaker 5: got Philadelphia's Oh no, that's the third round, so second

881
00:44:30,239 --> 00:44:33,560
Speaker 5: round selection. Drafting fairly late in the second round here,

882
00:44:33,600 --> 00:44:36,919
Speaker 5: and I'm looking for the best corner or.

883
00:44:36,880 --> 00:44:39,840
Speaker 3: Receiver available here. Who might that be?

884
00:44:40,000 --> 00:44:42,399
Speaker 5: Give me a couple of names that you think could

885
00:44:42,480 --> 00:44:46,560
Speaker 5: be available at that spot day two, relatively late in

886
00:44:46,560 --> 00:44:47,280
Speaker 5: the second round.

887
00:44:47,520 --> 00:44:49,600
Speaker 6: Well, I would love you know, if you're gonna go corner.

888
00:44:49,920 --> 00:44:51,600
Speaker 6: One of the corners that I like, kind of in

889
00:44:51,600 --> 00:44:53,959
Speaker 6: that range would be TJ. Tampa from out Iowa State.

890
00:44:54,280 --> 00:44:55,759
Speaker 6: There's a lot of guys that are six foot one

891
00:44:55,920 --> 00:44:58,879
Speaker 6: ninety five at corner, Like I just kind of ripped

892
00:44:58,880 --> 00:45:01,239
Speaker 6: down my cornerback list and six foot one ninety five six,

893
00:45:02,480 --> 00:45:05,080
Speaker 6: you know of that ill. I think Tampa could be

894
00:45:05,120 --> 00:45:08,080
Speaker 6: a guy that gets overlooked. I think he could end

895
00:45:08,120 --> 00:45:13,879
Speaker 6: up in that particular range. He's probably a little bit

896
00:45:13,960 --> 00:45:15,799
Speaker 6: higher than that, but you know how that thing, you know,

897
00:45:15,920 --> 00:45:18,160
Speaker 6: things go, they kind of end up guys getting getting

898
00:45:18,160 --> 00:45:20,920
Speaker 6: pushed down. Kamari Lassiter from out of Georgia kind of

899
00:45:20,960 --> 00:45:23,480
Speaker 6: the same thing. He's a little bit taller, No, he's

900
00:45:23,480 --> 00:45:26,799
Speaker 6: six foot peint eighty, a little bit lighter. But I

901
00:45:26,800 --> 00:45:29,480
Speaker 6: think those guys kind of six one two hundred, six

902
00:45:29,520 --> 00:45:32,080
Speaker 6: foot one ninety that kind of range. There's gonna be

903
00:45:32,120 --> 00:45:35,360
Speaker 6: a couple of guys with TJ. Tampa, Kamari Lassiter from Georgia,

904
00:45:35,440 --> 00:45:37,520
Speaker 6: a couple of guys Josh Newton from out to TCU.

905
00:45:37,719 --> 00:45:39,440
Speaker 6: That's probably a little stretch for him. I think he's

906
00:45:39,440 --> 00:45:42,839
Speaker 6: more round three receiver wise. Man, Holy cow, you could

907
00:45:42,840 --> 00:45:44,759
Speaker 6: go a lot of different directions. The guys that I

908
00:45:44,760 --> 00:45:46,440
Speaker 6: saw at the Senior Bowl, I think could all be

909
00:45:46,480 --> 00:45:48,239
Speaker 6: in play the one to fifty nine.

910
00:45:48,280 --> 00:45:50,080
Speaker 1: That would be really interesting, And it was.

911
00:45:50,280 --> 00:45:52,840
Speaker 6: I watched him last night because I was watching Georgia Alabama,

912
00:45:52,840 --> 00:45:55,000
Speaker 6: so I was watching a number of guys in that game,

913
00:45:55,000 --> 00:45:56,640
Speaker 6: but the guy that could kept standing out, and he

914
00:45:56,680 --> 00:45:57,600
Speaker 6: stood out the Senior Bowl.

915
00:45:57,640 --> 00:46:02,319
Speaker 1: Now he's healthy was Lad McConkey. And I know, well, you.

916
00:46:02,239 --> 00:46:04,400
Speaker 6: Know you've already got kind of a diminutive type receiver

917
00:46:04,440 --> 00:46:05,120
Speaker 6: in tanked out man.

918
00:46:05,120 --> 00:46:07,319
Speaker 1: I don't care. Lad mccakye's a ballplayer.

919
00:46:07,600 --> 00:46:09,480
Speaker 6: There are guys that are getting first round love from

920
00:46:09,520 --> 00:46:13,960
Speaker 6: Alabama Corner in particular, Terry and Arnold Man. Lad McConkie

921
00:46:14,040 --> 00:46:16,279
Speaker 6: had an ankle that I'm telling you was not good.

922
00:46:16,600 --> 00:46:19,759
Speaker 6: I've seen him fully healthy and that was not fully healthy,

923
00:46:19,760 --> 00:46:22,359
Speaker 6: and he was roasting the Alabama corners. They just can

924
00:46:22,400 --> 00:46:25,520
Speaker 6: get the ball off. Mccakkee would be a guy. Look

925
00:46:25,560 --> 00:46:28,680
Speaker 6: at fifty nine about Georgia. Roman Wilson can absolutely fly.

926
00:46:28,880 --> 00:46:30,520
Speaker 6: To me, he's kind of a poor man's will fuller.

927
00:46:30,640 --> 00:46:33,920
Speaker 6: What's shorter, but it's got that easy acceleration away from

928
00:46:33,960 --> 00:46:36,680
Speaker 6: guys Roman Wilson and I love Malki Corley from Western

929
00:46:36,760 --> 00:46:39,840
Speaker 6: Kentucky and Ricky Piersoll from Florida. Might be a little

930
00:46:39,840 --> 00:46:41,560
Speaker 6: early for Pearsaw, but man, if they took him at

931
00:46:41,560 --> 00:46:43,160
Speaker 6: fifty nine, he's the perfect fit.

932
00:46:43,239 --> 00:46:44,360
Speaker 1: I think, between Tank.

933
00:46:44,200 --> 00:46:47,080
Speaker 5: And Nico So Lad McConkie is not related to film,

934
00:46:47,800 --> 00:46:48,480
Speaker 5: not related at all.

935
00:46:48,600 --> 00:46:51,080
Speaker 3: That's really just not related. All that really upsets me.

936
00:46:51,200 --> 00:46:52,560
Speaker 3: I don't know, I don't like that one.

937
00:46:52,640 --> 00:46:57,120
Speaker 1: And when you see him, you're like, what, they're not related?

938
00:46:57,480 --> 00:46:59,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, but they're notimated can't believe.

939
00:47:00,120 --> 00:47:02,880
Speaker 5: And you know, Phil had the distinction when he played

940
00:47:02,880 --> 00:47:06,279
Speaker 5: for the Giants for a long period of time, was

941
00:47:06,320 --> 00:47:09,759
Speaker 5: the only Giant to live in Manhattan. The rest of

942
00:47:09,800 --> 00:47:11,959
Speaker 5: them all lived in New Jersey, but he liked living

943
00:47:11,960 --> 00:47:14,200
Speaker 5: in Manhattan, which must have made for a hell of

944
00:47:14,239 --> 00:47:15,040
Speaker 5: a commute to get to.

945
00:47:14,960 --> 00:47:15,960
Speaker 3: The practice facility.

946
00:47:16,040 --> 00:47:16,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly.

947
00:47:16,800 --> 00:47:18,600
Speaker 3: All right, let's get to the next pick. Here.

948
00:47:18,640 --> 00:47:21,000
Speaker 5: We're in round three. We might only be able to

949
00:47:21,000 --> 00:47:22,719
Speaker 5: do days one and two here. Maybe we've got to

950
00:47:22,760 --> 00:47:25,040
Speaker 5: pick this up again tomorrow. But we're in round three

951
00:47:25,080 --> 00:47:27,840
Speaker 5: and Nick Cassario comes to you, Johnny and says, listen,

952
00:47:28,400 --> 00:47:29,799
Speaker 5: I want to take a running back.

953
00:47:30,160 --> 00:47:32,600
Speaker 3: Is it too early? Do you have somebody for me?

954
00:47:33,000 --> 00:47:38,080
Speaker 5: Or or do we go in another direction here? Take

955
00:47:38,160 --> 00:47:41,480
Speaker 5: somebody else, like, let's say a linebacker. What are you

956
00:47:41,560 --> 00:47:44,799
Speaker 5: thinking here? Best available among those two here in the

957
00:47:44,840 --> 00:47:45,480
Speaker 5: third round?

958
00:47:45,760 --> 00:47:49,520
Speaker 6: So that pick is eighty me, I can't remember Philly's pick.

959
00:47:49,840 --> 00:47:52,239
Speaker 1: Yeah, so it's eighty something. Yeah.

960
00:47:52,440 --> 00:47:55,000
Speaker 6: I do think that's probably a good spot to start

961
00:47:55,000 --> 00:47:56,040
Speaker 6: thinking about running back.

962
00:47:56,680 --> 00:48:00,680
Speaker 1: I don't know that a running back is going to go, and.

963
00:48:02,560 --> 00:48:04,919
Speaker 6: Maybe late in the second round you might might see

964
00:48:04,920 --> 00:48:08,600
Speaker 6: a running back. This kind of tremendous. I think the

965
00:48:08,719 --> 00:48:12,120
Speaker 6: value is more to you know, round three, round four,

966
00:48:12,239 --> 00:48:14,840
Speaker 6: So this this kind of fits. There are a couple

967
00:48:14,840 --> 00:48:16,759
Speaker 6: of guys and one you'd have to make a decision on.

968
00:48:16,760 --> 00:48:19,160
Speaker 6: That's Jonathan Brooks from out Texas. And I say that

969
00:48:19,239 --> 00:48:22,240
Speaker 6: because he's got the ACL terry towards ACL against TCU.

970
00:48:23,080 --> 00:48:24,920
Speaker 6: If he's fully healthy. He's running back one for me,

971
00:48:24,920 --> 00:48:27,839
Speaker 6: and it's night close as it is. He's running back two.

972
00:48:28,360 --> 00:48:30,279
Speaker 6: Guy ahead of him, Trey Benson from out of Florida State.

973
00:48:30,400 --> 00:48:31,000
Speaker 1: I like him.

974
00:48:31,160 --> 00:48:34,120
Speaker 6: I think those guys are probably gone, those two probably

975
00:48:34,200 --> 00:48:36,279
Speaker 6: gone by then. But I'll give you a come an

976
00:48:36,320 --> 00:48:40,480
Speaker 6: upset pick one a home run hitter Jalen Wright from

977
00:48:40,480 --> 00:48:46,560
Speaker 6: out of Tennessee. This guy can absolutely fly, fly five eleven,

978
00:48:46,600 --> 00:48:49,680
Speaker 6: two ten. He ran a six point twenty nine fifty

979
00:48:49,680 --> 00:48:52,799
Speaker 6: five meter dash and into attraction. This kid, he can

980
00:48:53,120 --> 00:48:56,680
Speaker 6: absolutely smoke. And it's funny because sometimes you're watching a

981
00:48:56,680 --> 00:48:57,520
Speaker 6: guy and I'm watching it.

982
00:48:57,560 --> 00:48:59,960
Speaker 1: I'm like, Okay, got a pretty good play.

983
00:49:00,160 --> 00:49:02,440
Speaker 6: He's making some runs, you know, he's doing some inside stuff,

984
00:49:02,440 --> 00:49:04,520
Speaker 6: and then all of a sudden, he pops one and

985
00:49:04,600 --> 00:49:08,080
Speaker 6: you see him pulling away from fast guys, like, okay,

986
00:49:08,360 --> 00:49:09,840
Speaker 6: let me go check the bio. There's track in his

987
00:49:09,880 --> 00:49:12,520
Speaker 6: background right boom there it is six point twenty nine

988
00:49:12,640 --> 00:49:13,840
Speaker 6: in a fifty five meters.

989
00:49:13,680 --> 00:49:15,440
Speaker 1: Dash, which is incredibly fast.

990
00:49:15,680 --> 00:49:18,759
Speaker 6: So he's got home run hitting ability, which I would

991
00:49:18,800 --> 00:49:21,239
Speaker 6: love to see at that position. So Jalen Wright that

992
00:49:21,239 --> 00:49:24,280
Speaker 6: third round pick, I think it would be absolutely awesome.

993
00:49:24,200 --> 00:49:27,200
Speaker 5: Good stuff. Johnny will make those picks or maybe not.

994
00:49:28,239 --> 00:49:32,400
