00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:04,200
Speaker 1: Welcome and everybody to another edition of Texans All Access,

2
00:00:04,280 --> 00:00:10,440
Speaker 1: A Monday edition post Texans win over the who do

3
00:00:10,600 --> 00:00:12,799
Speaker 1: we play? On Saturday Night? Market? Played in New Orleans Saints?

4
00:00:12,800 --> 00:00:15,160
Speaker 1: How about that? John Harrison, Mark Vanburia has been a

5
00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:19,160
Speaker 1: long forty eight forty eight hours. I don't know about you, Mark,

6
00:00:19,239 --> 00:00:22,720
Speaker 1: but about I don't know. I think three forty five

7
00:00:22,760 --> 00:00:27,240
Speaker 1: in the morning. I I like shook two on the

8
00:00:27,280 --> 00:00:32,199
Speaker 1: couch on Sunday morning and like the TV's off, And

9
00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:34,199
Speaker 1: the last thing I remember was I was watching the

10
00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:36,800
Speaker 1: game and I was doing my hair's hits and I

11
00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:39,000
Speaker 1: looked and thank god my computer was over there. And

12
00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:40,320
Speaker 1: then I asked my son. He said, oh yeah, I

13
00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:42,880
Speaker 1: moved it when you fell asleep. Thank you thought you

14
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:45,760
Speaker 1: left it somewhere well, on my lap, on my lap

15
00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:47,880
Speaker 1: as I'm doing it, I'm watching and I'm just and

16
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:50,479
Speaker 1: so when I fell asleep, it wasn't good. It was okay,

17
00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:52,199
Speaker 1: he said, And then he just wanted to make sure,

18
00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:53,519
Speaker 1: so he took and he closed it and put it

19
00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:55,320
Speaker 1: there and I finished up my hair's hits in in

20
00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:57,480
Speaker 1: the morning. Can you sleep after a game? Because after

21
00:00:57,680 --> 00:00:59,480
Speaker 1: oh no, I mean it took me a while. Late

22
00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:04,600
Speaker 1: night game, especially with a supercharged ending. Yeah, supercharged in

23
00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:08,240
Speaker 1: the preseason context, of course, don't at me. But I

24
00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:11,360
Speaker 1: was wired after that game, and I went to bed

25
00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:15,400
Speaker 1: probably just a couple of hours before I woke up

26
00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:17,120
Speaker 1: on Monday. You know what I'm saying, Like, like, I

27
00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:19,959
Speaker 1: went to bed around three and I woke up around

28
00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:24,240
Speaker 1: four thirty five today, And I didn't sleep that much yesterday.

29
00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:26,400
Speaker 1: I'm not complaining it complaining at all. I can't sleep.

30
00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:28,040
Speaker 1: I'm not one of these like, oh I can sleep

31
00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:30,240
Speaker 1: till noon people. I cannot do that. You know. If

32
00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:32,880
Speaker 1: it hits seven, it's like, wow, I really slept in today.

33
00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:35,600
Speaker 1: So anyway, Yeah, everything's a blur, but it's a good blur.

34
00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:38,760
Speaker 1: It's NFL, it's football. It is training camp. We're still

35
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:41,399
Speaker 1: in it. They're gonna practice outside tomorrow and Wednesday. We

36
00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:43,520
Speaker 1: are still very much in this thing and looking forward

37
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:46,240
Speaker 1: to Friday. All Right, you ready for Hot Take Monday,

38
00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:51,360
Speaker 1: Hot Take Monday, fire ratings, Hot Take Monday, and we're

39
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:54,880
Speaker 1: gonna start in the AFC South. Okay with the Jacksonville

40
00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:58,760
Speaker 1: Jaguars got to win over the Browns. I don't remember

41
00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:02,200
Speaker 1: the finals or but it was not a great night

42
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:04,600
Speaker 1: for Oh, I'm sorry, the Browns did beat the Jaguars.

43
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:07,800
Speaker 1: Jaguars are two in the preseason. Oh yeah, Jaguars only

44
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:11,240
Speaker 1: put up thirteen points in this one hot take. Okay,

45
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:14,560
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence will finish top fifteen in the league in

46
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:19,480
Speaker 1: passing yards. That is four sizzle fires. Okay, five is

47
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:23,720
Speaker 1: the max? Right, yeah, five is max. That's four sizzle fires, Johnny. Look,

48
00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:26,360
Speaker 1: last year the numbers weren't so good. I know it

49
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:30,440
Speaker 1: was Urban Meyer, all right. I know Brian Schottenheimer, he

50
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:33,320
Speaker 1: was coaching the quarterbacks, right ye, and then you had

51
00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:39,120
Speaker 1: um Darryl Bevil. But you know what those guys are

52
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:44,640
Speaker 1: NFL guys, and Meyer I think was two hands off

53
00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:47,440
Speaker 1: ee with some things and maybe two hands on with others.

54
00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:50,000
Speaker 1: Oh boy, did I just go there. That was a

55
00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:52,360
Speaker 1: bad kind of pun comment. You know what I'm saying.

56
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:54,160
Speaker 1: That's no. I think that's exactly right. I think that

57
00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:55,800
Speaker 1: was that was part of the issue with Urban. There

58
00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:57,320
Speaker 1: were some things that he was definitely part of the

59
00:02:57,320 --> 00:03:00,480
Speaker 1: issue on a certain road trip, yeah, where he didn't

60
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:04,720
Speaker 1: go back with the team. But but the situation is

61
00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:07,280
Speaker 1: that Lawrence going into year two, I think it would

62
00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:09,040
Speaker 1: be a big improvement to be top twenty. I think

63
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:12,040
Speaker 1: top fifteen is a lot to ask for. Yeah, I

64
00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:16,680
Speaker 1: but if they're gonna trail in a lot of games,

65
00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:19,880
Speaker 1: he could probably he said, yards are racing yards. Oh

66
00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:22,320
Speaker 1: yards a yard. That's why I said that, because I

67
00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:24,920
Speaker 1: feel like they'll be behind some games, and so they

68
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:27,560
Speaker 1: got struck it a little bit. Didn't blake almost didn't

69
00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:30,360
Speaker 1: he throw four thousand one year? I think it was fifteen.

70
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:33,040
Speaker 1: A second year it was fifteen. He put up a lot.

71
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:35,000
Speaker 1: He put up a lot of touchdown passes too. I

72
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:37,960
Speaker 1: think he threw thirty five touchdown passes, a lot of picks,

73
00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:40,160
Speaker 1: though it was fifteen because in sixteen he forgot out

74
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:43,600
Speaker 1: the throw. Remember that he literally forgot out of throw.

75
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:48,440
Speaker 1: So seventeen here's I know, here's my hot take. Trevor

76
00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:53,080
Speaker 1: Lawrence will finish top fifteen in the league in passing yards.

77
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:56,520
Speaker 1: I'll give it. I'll give it two and a half. Okay,

78
00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 1: it's just yards. And we're talking rating like completion percentage,

79
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:03,040
Speaker 1: lack of interceptions, those kinds of things, then it's a

80
00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:05,960
Speaker 1: different deal. But I'll say that that's in the realm

81
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:08,000
Speaker 1: of possibility. I don't think it's that much of a

82
00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:11,280
Speaker 1: hot take. Okay, Zach Wilson looks like it's just the bone.

83
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:14,040
Speaker 1: Bruce will be out two to four weeks. They're looking

84
00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:17,960
Speaker 1: maybe like he could come back for Week one. Yeah,

85
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:24,000
Speaker 1: if Deshaun Watson is suspended for a full year, the

86
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:27,560
Speaker 1: Browns will beat the Jets to trading for Jimmy Garoppolo.

87
00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:31,320
Speaker 1: Garoppolo being insurance in New York. If Zach Wilson, the

88
00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:34,280
Speaker 1: Browns will trade for Jimmy Garoppolo. If Deshaun Watson is

89
00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:37,120
Speaker 1: suspended for a year, boy, if you're the forty nine ers,

90
00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:40,360
Speaker 1: this suspension, this year long report that's out there, I

91
00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:42,360
Speaker 1: don't know if it's true or not, but you are

92
00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:45,320
Speaker 1: rooting for that to happen and fast because you want

93
00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:47,839
Speaker 1: that market created for Jimmy Garoppolo, and you want two

94
00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:51,960
Speaker 1: teams who need his services. Possibly because we still don't

95
00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:55,640
Speaker 1: know about Wilson. I think Wilson is AOK as far

96
00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:58,719
Speaker 1: as the bulk of the season, Yeah, as it appears,

97
00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:01,360
Speaker 1: and I think they feel pretty good about their quarterback room.

98
00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:04,000
Speaker 1: Mike White looked pretty good and look of actually last

99
00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:05,960
Speaker 1: year at Flacco, you don't want to have to play him,

100
00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:08,479
Speaker 1: but he's got a lot of experience, et cetera. I

101
00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:10,960
Speaker 1: don't think they go for it. I think Brown's do land.

102
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:13,320
Speaker 1: Jimmy Garoppolo, I think that's a two sizzle fire, maybe

103
00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:16,800
Speaker 1: one and a half sizzle fire. Hot take. Okay, that

104
00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:20,680
Speaker 1: I that didn't I didn't feel the heat on that one,

105
00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:23,880
Speaker 1: and I will feel the heat on this one. Malik

106
00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:28,679
Speaker 1: Willis will start by week nine of twenty twenty two

107
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:33,360
Speaker 1: in Tennessee. Okay, now we're burning. Now that's four sizzle

108
00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:37,919
Speaker 1: fire starting. Hey, he looked interesting at the very least

109
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:40,400
Speaker 1: in the first game, right the game against the Ravens,

110
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:42,919
Speaker 1: and he did some things with his feet like we

111
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:47,680
Speaker 1: all thought he would. I wonder how Vrabel feels. You know,

112
00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:52,680
Speaker 1: the unpredictability of Willis could be a good thing. But

113
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:55,279
Speaker 1: and I'm not saying Rabel's a control freak. I do

114
00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:58,320
Speaker 1: think he is a He's not exactly footloose and fancy

115
00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:02,320
Speaker 1: free either, correct, But coaches don't like it when they're

116
00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:04,839
Speaker 1: not in full control of the game. Sometimes coaches want

117
00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:07,000
Speaker 1: that pocket passer who's able to make some plays with

118
00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:09,640
Speaker 1: his feet. But I feel like I'm in control of

119
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:12,120
Speaker 1: this game. If I've got a guy who scrambles all

120
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:15,359
Speaker 1: around Kyler Murray. Maybe I feel like I'm out of

121
00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:17,680
Speaker 1: control right, that I don't have control of the game

122
00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:20,240
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson in some cases, right, But I think they

123
00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:22,839
Speaker 1: found a way to really make that work. And you know,

124
00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:25,599
Speaker 1: he is a real I think Lamar Jackson is a

125
00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:29,080
Speaker 1: controlled running quarterback and he does know how to throw

126
00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:32,600
Speaker 1: with two by the way, not a pocket passer. Murray

127
00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:35,080
Speaker 1: is a little bit more like what are we gonna

128
00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:39,240
Speaker 1: get on this play? Right? So there's that, And so

129
00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:41,920
Speaker 1: I'm just long winded with this one. But I think

130
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:44,680
Speaker 1: that's a hot fire. That's a hot take. That's a

131
00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:49,880
Speaker 1: for sizzle fire hot take. I think Willis does start

132
00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:51,960
Speaker 1: at some point for this team. I am not ready

133
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:54,000
Speaker 1: to say it's this year. I am not because I

134
00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:56,440
Speaker 1: think if Derrick Henry stays healthy for the whole year,

135
00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:58,800
Speaker 1: they are going to be one tough customer to stop

136
00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:02,480
Speaker 1: once again, and they're gonna win ten games just because

137
00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:05,520
Speaker 1: of that and Tannehill being under control and making plays

138
00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:07,520
Speaker 1: when he has to with his feet and with his arm,

139
00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:10,480
Speaker 1: and they'll be okay offensively. So the other day, same

140
00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:12,760
Speaker 1: as today in our studio on one of the TV's

141
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:16,320
Speaker 1: in our studio, looks like NFL networkers be playing Patriots

142
00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:19,760
Speaker 1: feed Giants. Yeah and so last not an NFL network.

143
00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:22,280
Speaker 1: It's a show I love. It's the NFL Top one hundred.

144
00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:24,520
Speaker 1: And I always preface this by saying it's voted on

145
00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:27,040
Speaker 1: by the players. And I will tell you point blank,

146
00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:28,720
Speaker 1: as much as you people want to say, well, it's

147
00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:31,680
Speaker 1: done by the players, they should know. Nope. I can

148
00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:36,040
Speaker 1: promise you anything done by in tune media members is

149
00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:39,360
Speaker 1: gonna be ten times better. Trust me. You might know

150
00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:42,880
Speaker 1: the guy you're going against, but if you're a corner,

151
00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:45,280
Speaker 1: you go against receivers, you don't know Jack. You know

152
00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:48,520
Speaker 1: what about the interior offensive line? Then again, I don't

153
00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:52,040
Speaker 1: know how many members do. Anyways, Mac Jones was listed

154
00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:57,040
Speaker 1: as number eighty five, eighty five after his rookie year

155
00:07:57,120 --> 00:08:00,400
Speaker 1: going into year two, that's my take. Here's my take,

156
00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:04,920
Speaker 1: Mac Jones will not be even close to the one

157
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:08,400
Speaker 1: hundred going into next year. That's not even hot. I

158
00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:12,080
Speaker 1: give his icy cold. It's it's cold. That's cold. It's

159
00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:14,480
Speaker 1: like a negative take. That's like a negative negative number.

160
00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:16,640
Speaker 1: I believe that to be true. Johnny, I was gonna

161
00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:18,320
Speaker 1: have a hot take. Are you ready for this? Okay,

162
00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:20,720
Speaker 1: all right, I like it coming back to me. Let's go.

163
00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:24,280
Speaker 1: Jones will not be the starting quarterback for the Patriots

164
00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:32,760
Speaker 1: within two years. Now, Wow, how many sizzle fires? That's

165
00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:36,599
Speaker 1: a four. That's a four. I'm bordering up four and

166
00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:40,079
Speaker 1: a half on that in this place. Up. I just

167
00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:45,080
Speaker 1: I just feel like with Jones, I think he's got

168
00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:48,720
Speaker 1: a lot that you like, but man, I do not

169
00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:51,840
Speaker 1: like the situation around him. I think the offensive line

170
00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:54,480
Speaker 1: is okay, They've got some guys up there. I think

171
00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:58,160
Speaker 1: the receivers are still tight, ends are good in the

172
00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:01,359
Speaker 1: running game. Has lost a piece in James White. But overall,

173
00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:04,319
Speaker 1: do you look back over the sideline and go, hey,

174
00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:07,439
Speaker 1: Josh McDaniels is my O seat? No, you don't, right,

175
00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:10,160
Speaker 1: you don't. You don't have you don't have an experienced

176
00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:12,280
Speaker 1: OC over there trying to go and buy a committee

177
00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:15,280
Speaker 1: right now? Yes, I hate that. I hate that. I mean,

178
00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:17,120
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. You can put your heads together during a week,

179
00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:18,959
Speaker 1: but there's gotta be a guy that you know, that's

180
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:21,040
Speaker 1: the guy calling a players And maybe it's Patricia and

181
00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:23,760
Speaker 1: he's taking in a lot of opinions, But I just

182
00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:26,480
Speaker 1: I don't like in a couple of years. I could

183
00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:28,679
Speaker 1: see that having an impact on mac Jones for sure.

184
00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:30,679
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna say from me, it's a four. You're

185
00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:33,319
Speaker 1: telling the one I said to you that he's outside

186
00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:35,480
Speaker 1: the one hundred isn't even hot. I think that's to

187
00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:37,199
Speaker 1: give it. I think he could have a pretty good

188
00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:39,600
Speaker 1: year this year, but not being a top one hundred.

189
00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:43,000
Speaker 1: There aren't one hundred guys in this league better than

190
00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:46,760
Speaker 1: mac Jones overall as players. That's an insult to some

191
00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:48,920
Speaker 1: pretty good players out there. I gotta look at the

192
00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:50,480
Speaker 1: whole list here. You know, they haven't had to put

193
00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:52,319
Speaker 1: them put the whole list out. By the way, Florio

194
00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:55,880
Speaker 1: had a great take on this, and I'll credit him

195
00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:58,959
Speaker 1: when credit is due here because he said something like

196
00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:02,520
Speaker 1: they used to stretch this thing out. Yeah, nobody's business,

197
00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:05,000
Speaker 1: and now it feels like they're cramming for a final exam.

198
00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:07,200
Speaker 1: They're just like here, it is the top one hundred.

199
00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:10,440
Speaker 1: We're into games already. This is a July thing, isn't

200
00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:12,240
Speaker 1: it a July thing? I don't know why this should

201
00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:14,520
Speaker 1: be a July thing. This should be an appetizer for

202
00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:16,640
Speaker 1: the league season instead of I don't need to hear

203
00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:18,839
Speaker 1: about this right now. Look at highlights from last year.

204
00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:21,360
Speaker 1: I want to be seeing these preseason highlights and talking

205
00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:24,040
Speaker 1: about the storylines that are happening. Well right now. There

206
00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:26,000
Speaker 1: might be a few players that are end up on

207
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:28,400
Speaker 1: a list that they're still deciding whether they're going to

208
00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:33,040
Speaker 1: play this year that could signed Cronk retiring, signed number

209
00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:36,040
Speaker 1: four Cleveland four in Cleveland, So that could have that

210
00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:38,680
Speaker 1: could have delayed it maybe maybe a little bit. Well,

211
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:41,000
Speaker 1: we'll find out. By the way, back to the Patriot thing.

212
00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:42,760
Speaker 1: You know, if I was a Patriot fan, you know

213
00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:45,480
Speaker 1: who i'd be confident in calling the plays without Josh

214
00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:49,360
Speaker 1: McDaniels there, Bill Belichick, Yes, okay, I'd be confident with him.

215
00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:51,760
Speaker 1: Everybody else I don't know about. That's not a hot

216
00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:53,720
Speaker 1: take either. You know who called the offensive plays at

217
00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:55,560
Speaker 1: nine Enny one in Cleveland his first year with the

218
00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:58,960
Speaker 1: Browns and Bill Belichick? Bill Belichick, Okay, do it? You're

219
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:01,080
Speaker 1: ready for this one? All right, I'm I'm gonna rate

220
00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:06,760
Speaker 1: this hot take. Lamar Jackson will not get a proper

221
00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:10,600
Speaker 1: contract offer before week one, he will shut it the

222
00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:16,800
Speaker 1: contract negotiations, down, play the season, and then play elsewhere.

223
00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:20,839
Speaker 1: In twenty twenty three, a sizzle that's at least four. Okay,

224
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:24,360
Speaker 1: that's at least four because it has logic to it. Oh,

225
00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:26,800
Speaker 1: it has a lot of you know what it based

226
00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:28,480
Speaker 1: on the logic, Maybe I should take it off the

227
00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:31,560
Speaker 1: four frame and put it in the threes. Three sizzle fires,

228
00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:34,120
Speaker 1: because you're right, Johnny has a lot of logic. If

229
00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:38,479
Speaker 1: he becomes an unrestricted free agent or has the opportunity

230
00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:40,640
Speaker 1: to do so, they could franchise him. And then he

231
00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:42,319
Speaker 1: holds out. Then he's like, no, no, no no, no, no,

232
00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:44,760
Speaker 1: you're not franchising me. And I think it would be

233
00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:48,400
Speaker 1: wrong for them to franchise him because they have to

234
00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:51,680
Speaker 1: give him a fair offer. The owners and we talked

235
00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:54,680
Speaker 1: about it this morning, and I know we batted it

236
00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:59,440
Speaker 1: around with Andre about the Cleveland deal to Watson and

237
00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:02,160
Speaker 1: never mind it's Watson in the history here, never mind

238
00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:05,920
Speaker 1: all that this is a huge deal given to somebody,

239
00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:09,600
Speaker 1: and it's so much more than anybody else has ever

240
00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:13,240
Speaker 1: gotten guaranteed. It's just hard to wrap your mind around it,

241
00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:15,679
Speaker 1: and it's hard to wrap your negotiations around it because

242
00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:19,680
Speaker 1: these quarterbacks warrant this money. If Kyler Murray, he doesn't

243
00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:23,080
Speaker 1: get two thirty guaranteed. But they got that number up

244
00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:26,320
Speaker 1: there in the total contract value non guaranteed. It's all

245
00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:29,199
Speaker 1: about the guaranteed money. I get it. But Lamar Jackson

246
00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:31,959
Speaker 1: can stand up and say, listen, that's one thing that

247
00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:34,480
Speaker 1: Murray got that. I get that, but you got to

248
00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:36,720
Speaker 1: make the number guaranteed. I get at least that, and

249
00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:38,319
Speaker 1: you got to make the number guarantee. I mean the

250
00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:41,480
Speaker 1: first thing, Lamar, Lamar Jackson's agent should wait. Wait, No,

251
00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:44,240
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson is his own agent, right. But I always

252
00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:45,520
Speaker 1: gotta do is he's got to walk in with a

253
00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:48,400
Speaker 1: sheet paper that just is a print out of Deshaun

254
00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:52,200
Speaker 1: Watson's contract and go, I've been a league MVP. I

255
00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:55,640
Speaker 1: got more wins in this guy, and I wasn't having

256
00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:58,560
Speaker 1: all these dahliences on you know that was going on

257
00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:01,280
Speaker 1: during the COVID season. And he just got two thirty

258
00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:04,559
Speaker 1: million guaranteed. You go work it out, Go figure it out.

259
00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:06,360
Speaker 1: If if I were the Ravens, and I don't know

260
00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:09,640
Speaker 1: what the Ravens money situation is, but I might not

261
00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:11,520
Speaker 1: give the two hundred thirty guaranteed. Maybe you want to

262
00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:14,400
Speaker 1: give him his I'd get him to two forty, maybe

263
00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:17,200
Speaker 1: like a six year deal to forty and I'd give

264
00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:20,880
Speaker 1: him two hundred guaranteed. It sounds right to me. I

265
00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:22,720
Speaker 1: know it's a lot of money. It becomes baseball money

266
00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:25,200
Speaker 1: at that point, but guess what, what's the most important

267
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:28,040
Speaker 1: position on the football team. Thank he's a proven guy.

268
00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:30,400
Speaker 1: Let him do his thing. I don't have a problem

269
00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:33,760
Speaker 1: with it became my money, lamar became I mean, I

270
00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:35,960
Speaker 1: know there's there are, like you said, franchise tag and

271
00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:38,080
Speaker 1: things like that I don't think there's anyway Baltimore could

272
00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:44,880
Speaker 1: really honestly allow him to leave. But we've seen crazier things. Okay,

273
00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:46,600
Speaker 1: I can't do it. I can't do it. I can't

274
00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:49,440
Speaker 1: I can't do it. Okay, this one has nothing to

275
00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:52,960
Speaker 1: do with either team. Okay, Cardinals, Bengals. I alluded this

276
00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:59,000
Speaker 1: to this the other night. I think that preseason field

277
00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:04,160
Speaker 1: goals of forty yards or less should be outlawed. Hot take,

278
00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:10,840
Speaker 1: go forty yards or less? That is well, that's a

279
00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:13,360
Speaker 1: hot take. Okay, that is a hot take, and that's

280
00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:16,240
Speaker 1: not gonna happen. I think you have to come up

281
00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:18,360
Speaker 1: with a better number if you're gonna do that. I

282
00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:22,080
Speaker 1: would give that about two and a half right there too. Okay, Well,

283
00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:24,640
Speaker 1: I'll say this is certainly before thirty yards or less

284
00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:27,720
Speaker 1: than a thirty field goals, and it's not that bowl.

285
00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:30,200
Speaker 1: If your field goal is less than an extra point,

286
00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:33,280
Speaker 1: you shouldn't be allowed to do it. You shouldn't be

287
00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:35,800
Speaker 1: allowed to do it. I think you're inside extra point range,

288
00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:38,160
Speaker 1: you're inside the fifteen yard line. You have to go

289
00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:41,560
Speaker 1: for an a fourth down. Don't care. Don't care. Someday, Johnny,

290
00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:45,400
Speaker 1: I believe in this league we're gonna have glorified I

291
00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:49,520
Speaker 1: shouldn't call it that. We're gonna have amplified steroid. Well,

292
00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:51,800
Speaker 1: that's a bad word too. We're gonna have souped up

293
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:55,120
Speaker 1: joint practices, yes, and it's like now we're gonna try

294
00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:57,040
Speaker 1: a few field goals, kind of like they do a practice.

295
00:14:57,080 --> 00:14:59,400
Speaker 1: Bang bang bang, let's get the operation down. Yes, but

296
00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:02,960
Speaker 1: they do like the drill of okay, we didn't make

297
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:04,840
Speaker 1: it on third down. Everybody get out there. We're gonna

298
00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:06,760
Speaker 1: try a field goal. They do like that because that

299
00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:08,680
Speaker 1: happens in regular season games, and they want to do

300
00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:10,520
Speaker 1: that quickly and they want to practice that. So how

301
00:15:10,520 --> 00:15:12,920
Speaker 1: hot take it? How? I guess it's hotter than I thought,

302
00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:15,080
Speaker 1: because you said it's field goals, though, I'm gonna take

303
00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:17,360
Speaker 1: a little bit off. I'll go three. Okay, Sizzle fires

304
00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:19,200
Speaker 1: for that hot take. Yeah, I just don't. I think

305
00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:21,400
Speaker 1: you shouldn't be kicking a fuel goal that's any less

306
00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:23,240
Speaker 1: than an extra point in a preseason game. I mean

307
00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:25,240
Speaker 1: you should, I mean you probably should just get fired

308
00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:27,720
Speaker 1: as a special team's coach. I'll give it a hot take. Okay,

309
00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:31,440
Speaker 1: Denver will win the AFC West. That's a hot take.

310
00:15:31,520 --> 00:15:34,360
Speaker 1: I'm not on Denver's bandwagon at all. I do think

311
00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:37,440
Speaker 1: Denver's talented. To me, that's a four four and a

312
00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:40,320
Speaker 1: half because I should say that three and a half

313
00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:43,960
Speaker 1: four because Denver's talented, and they've got a quarterback. Now.

314
00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:48,160
Speaker 1: They had two big, two big injuries with a running

315
00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:50,840
Speaker 1: back and then with Tim Patrick, one of their key

316
00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:53,840
Speaker 1: wide receivers you know, not the guy, but like like

317
00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:55,720
Speaker 1: a Kevin Walter type. Yeah, I mean, think of what

318
00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:57,480
Speaker 1: would happen if we had lost Kevin Walter back in

319
00:15:57,520 --> 00:15:59,640
Speaker 1: the day. That's kind of what losing Tim Patrick is like.

320
00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:04,760
Speaker 1: So those things that happen in training camp, I always like, hmmm,

321
00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:07,840
Speaker 1: it doesn't mean that there's some just you know, a

322
00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:10,320
Speaker 1: curse or some bed juju or whatever around your team.

323
00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:13,480
Speaker 1: But it just doesn't feel right. And I I mean,

324
00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:15,800
Speaker 1: these are two guys coming from different worlds, and Daniel

325
00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:19,200
Speaker 1: Hackett and Russell Wilson, and if those worlds collide in

326
00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:21,440
Speaker 1: the wrong way, that could be a mess. It could

327
00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:24,680
Speaker 1: be a mess. It's three and a half the four.

328
00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:26,440
Speaker 1: But you have to go out on that limb if

329
00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:28,800
Speaker 1: you're gonna picking off the Chiefs. All right, the Chiefs

330
00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:32,360
Speaker 1: are a premier franchise in this league right now. They've

331
00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:34,920
Speaker 1: got an elite quarterback, maybe the best in the game.

332
00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:38,880
Speaker 1: And you can pencil them into the postseason, pencil them

333
00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:41,920
Speaker 1: into the AFC Championship game basically almost every year. Yeah,

334
00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:46,160
Speaker 1: and that's really something. But Denver's gonna be Denver's gonna

335
00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:50,160
Speaker 1: be athletically gifted. But I just just something I don't

336
00:16:50,200 --> 00:16:53,080
Speaker 1: know that I love about Wilson, Russell Wilson, Nathaniel Hackett

337
00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:55,640
Speaker 1: together and maybe it's more Wilson than Hackett. I don't know.

338
00:16:55,760 --> 00:16:58,320
Speaker 1: But I just look at seven to ten without him

339
00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:01,120
Speaker 1: last year, seven and ten past it together and Drew

340
00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:04,120
Speaker 1: Lock and Teddy Bridgewater and now he had the stability

341
00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:07,320
Speaker 1: that was Fangio. Though of Russell Sandio coaching that team

342
00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:09,280
Speaker 1: and coached it for a few teams. Now it's a

343
00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:11,320
Speaker 1: different defensive system. I mean, all that kind of stuff

344
00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:15,760
Speaker 1: is is in play. So I just I mean, I mean, look,

345
00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:17,800
Speaker 1: somebody is going to be extraordinary out in the West

346
00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:20,000
Speaker 1: and win a division because it's gonna be a bare

347
00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:22,639
Speaker 1: knuckle brawl every time, every time. I don't care. The

348
00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:25,040
Speaker 1: Raiders might not live up to expectations, but guess what,

349
00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:27,280
Speaker 1: they're gonna be a tough out. The Chargers as well.

350
00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:29,560
Speaker 1: Maybe they don't make the postseason. A lot of people

351
00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:31,800
Speaker 1: are picking them to go to the super Bowl. A

352
00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:35,159
Speaker 1: lot some people are so that a lot of trust

353
00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:37,040
Speaker 1: and Russell and I don't know that I'm ready for that.

354
00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:39,199
Speaker 1: I don't know that I'm all the way ready for that.

355
00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:40,760
Speaker 1: All right, you ready for this? Hot? Take this way?

356
00:17:40,840 --> 00:17:42,920
Speaker 1: Honnye sizzle fires? Did I get for Denver winning the

357
00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:45,040
Speaker 1: AFC West? I give you four? Okay, I'm not going

358
00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:47,680
Speaker 1: all the way to five. It's not Monday because it's

359
00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:49,480
Speaker 1: I'll go to four because I'm not going all the

360
00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:53,640
Speaker 1: way to five. Because that's uh, that's a talented team.

361
00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:56,880
Speaker 1: I could see things going break and right, Russell being

362
00:17:56,920 --> 00:17:59,000
Speaker 1: a guy I just don't think it's gonna happen, but

363
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:00,360
Speaker 1: I could see it, so I could be four. Okay,

364
00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:04,000
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go to Bill barnemo for this one. Right

365
00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:07,680
Speaker 1: for ESPN does some really great stuff. Bill Barnemoll said

366
00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:13,240
Speaker 1: this he made his hot take, Trey Lance is one

367
00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:16,720
Speaker 1: player who barely played last season but might be an

368
00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:21,040
Speaker 1: MVP candidate in twenty twenty two. Hot take. That's bordering

369
00:18:21,080 --> 00:18:24,800
Speaker 1: on five. And I love Trey Lance. I love him.

370
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:29,159
Speaker 1: That's bordering on five. What do you think, Well, you

371
00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:32,480
Speaker 1: know what they think he can do that the forty

372
00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:35,000
Speaker 1: nine ers do because they would never would have moved

373
00:18:35,080 --> 00:18:38,919
Speaker 1: up No, had Garoppolo on the roster already actually played

374
00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:41,399
Speaker 1: Garoppolo last year, but they never would have moved up

375
00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:43,000
Speaker 1: to where they did to get Trey Lance if they

376
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:45,760
Speaker 1: didn't have that kind of belief in him. So they

377
00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:49,119
Speaker 1: believe that's all possible for him with the weapons they have.

378
00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:51,639
Speaker 1: They got to stay healthy. Everybody has to stay healthy,

379
00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:53,359
Speaker 1: and that's a team that has not stayed healthy the

380
00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:55,480
Speaker 1: last time. Many every years they've got in trouble because

381
00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:59,160
Speaker 1: they've had Bosa and jamont Kin Law out at times

382
00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:02,199
Speaker 1: and they've never ever had that team fully and completely healthy,

383
00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:05,119
Speaker 1: and I think if it is, it's scary. Yeah. So

384
00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:07,919
Speaker 1: I mean I say five just because and I love

385
00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:10,480
Speaker 1: Trey Lance. I still think that's a that's a lot

386
00:19:10,520 --> 00:19:13,200
Speaker 1: to ask. It's a lot for second year quarterback. We

387
00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:15,680
Speaker 1: didn't take a lot of snaps too well. He thinks

388
00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:18,160
Speaker 1: they win the division, then I would imagine. Yeah. Then again,

389
00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:21,000
Speaker 1: I was gonna say Patrick Mahomes did that, So it's

390
00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:23,959
Speaker 1: not outside the roam of possibility. This guy's Hubert talented.

391
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:26,200
Speaker 1: I mean, he looked really good at He's not gonna

392
00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:28,520
Speaker 1: put up Mahomes numbers. Even if they have a huge year,

393
00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:30,720
Speaker 1: they could win fourteen games. He's not putting up Mahomes

394
00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:33,280
Speaker 1: number And they're gonna pound the rock. They're gonna pound

395
00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:36,120
Speaker 1: the rock creatively, absolutely, And I don't know if they'll

396
00:19:36,119 --> 00:19:39,119
Speaker 1: get Deboney carries, but it's gonna be interesting. He'll throw it,

397
00:19:39,119 --> 00:19:41,960
Speaker 1: he'll get yards. He's not gonna get fifty touchdown passes

398
00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:43,680
Speaker 1: or whatever. All Right, we gotta bring our guy Andre

399
00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:45,560
Speaker 1: Whearing to this conversation because we got a lot of

400
00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:48,119
Speaker 1: things to talk about. Let's get with Andre one of

401
00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:50,280
Speaker 1: his good palaces, Lamar Jackson. Let's see what Andrews to

402
00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:52,679
Speaker 1: say about Lamar Jackson, what he thought about the squad

403
00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:59,880
Speaker 1: the other night. That's next on Texas Till Access. Everybody

404
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:02,080
Speaker 1: looking back to money at issue of Texans All Access

405
00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:05,760
Speaker 1: from Monday, Texans Radio Studio. I'm John John Harris, football

406
00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:10,600
Speaker 1: analysts reporter for your Houston Texans and Saturday was an

407
00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:14,359
Speaker 1: awesome night. I mean it was really really fun. Throughout

408
00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:16,880
Speaker 1: the game. I just kept going, Man, we're back playing football.

409
00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:19,560
Speaker 1: This is awesome. The radio crew is back together. And

410
00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:23,080
Speaker 1: the radio crew got together to talk about any number

411
00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:26,439
Speaker 1: of things, including Mark Jackson's contract. The Mark and I

412
00:20:26,480 --> 00:20:28,480
Speaker 1: talked about a little bit in the first segment, talked

413
00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:31,439
Speaker 1: about this squad on Saturday night. And we did that

414
00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:34,960
Speaker 1: with our pal Andre. Where here we go, Dre the

415
00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:37,560
Speaker 1: little highlight reel I sent to you guys of Bo

416
00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:40,440
Speaker 1: Jackson in college. This is just a random thing. It

417
00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:44,960
Speaker 1: was from the SECCBS account or something, but I was joking, Yeah,

418
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:48,480
Speaker 1: if you're Bo's offensive coordinator, Hey, let's toss sweep right

419
00:20:48,560 --> 00:20:50,679
Speaker 1: to bow and now we're gonna really shake it up.

420
00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:53,560
Speaker 1: We're gonna toss sweep left to bow and you just

421
00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:55,320
Speaker 1: get the feeling the guys in front of him, are like,

422
00:20:55,359 --> 00:20:57,800
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna put a body on somebody, and Bow's

423
00:20:57,800 --> 00:21:00,520
Speaker 1: gonna make me look great. Yeah, you give a sliver

424
00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:02,720
Speaker 1: of daylight and it's over. I mean, as big, as

425
00:21:02,760 --> 00:21:07,920
Speaker 1: powerful as he was, and as as fast as as

426
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:12,760
Speaker 1: Bow was, I mean you talk about, yeah, converting speed

427
00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:15,359
Speaker 1: to power or power to speed, he could to both

428
00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:19,000
Speaker 1: and uh and with just truck guys. So it was

429
00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:21,280
Speaker 1: fun to watch Bow play. And you know what if

430
00:21:21,320 --> 00:21:24,520
Speaker 1: you got to spend some time around him, just a

431
00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:30,040
Speaker 1: super super human being. Yeah, I love He's incredible. I

432
00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:32,879
Speaker 1: love him just his little subtle you know, things he

433
00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:34,960
Speaker 1: would say, like when he threw out Harold Reynolds from

434
00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:38,760
Speaker 1: the uh back in eighty seven, he threw out Harold

435
00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:42,840
Speaker 1: Reynolds from the fence three hundred and sixteen feet away.

436
00:21:42,840 --> 00:21:44,880
Speaker 1: He threw him out the plate and Reynolds looked back

437
00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:47,840
Speaker 1: like what the heck happened? And Bow just brings out

438
00:21:47,880 --> 00:21:50,119
Speaker 1: the pistol and shoots him in him, you know, just

439
00:21:50,280 --> 00:21:52,800
Speaker 1: a little blows the smoke with it, and that's all

440
00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:55,000
Speaker 1: he did. He just did that. I'm like, oh man,

441
00:21:55,320 --> 00:21:57,840
Speaker 1: speaking of running people over Drey, I think a lot

442
00:21:57,880 --> 00:22:02,119
Speaker 1: of people walked out of that building that watch that

443
00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:04,040
Speaker 1: ball game and the first thing you asked him, Hey,

444
00:22:04,119 --> 00:22:06,679
Speaker 1: gut reaction and they would say, oh, Damian Pierce, what

445
00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:08,920
Speaker 1: was your gut reaction to seeing thirty one in live

446
00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:13,320
Speaker 1: action on set on Saturday night? Well, pleasantly surprised. I mean,

447
00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:16,040
Speaker 1: you knew he was talented, but he's still a rookie.

448
00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:17,960
Speaker 1: You're waiting to see what you know what he can do.

449
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:21,280
Speaker 1: And I think you made a fair reference to his

450
00:22:21,359 --> 00:22:24,919
Speaker 1: pass blocking. And you know when you have rookies in

451
00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:26,480
Speaker 1: the game, and I said it during the game on

452
00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:30,840
Speaker 1: Saturday night, that guys can come into the league. They're runners,

453
00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:34,040
Speaker 1: that's it's natural instinct. A lot of them can catch

454
00:22:34,080 --> 00:22:36,440
Speaker 1: the ball out of the backfield, but very few can

455
00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:39,000
Speaker 1: do all three. And the third obviously of being protect

456
00:22:39,080 --> 00:22:41,399
Speaker 1: the quarterback, because there's a lot that goes into that.

457
00:22:42,119 --> 00:22:44,040
Speaker 1: You have to be in sync with the offensive line.

458
00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:46,240
Speaker 1: Who am I taking as the guy through the eight gap?

459
00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:49,159
Speaker 1: Is somebody off the edge. That's a lot for a

460
00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:52,159
Speaker 1: young running back to kind of take in. But he

461
00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:54,600
Speaker 1: seems to step in know exactly what he was doing.

462
00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:58,119
Speaker 1: All three phases are ready to go. It's gonna be

463
00:22:58,119 --> 00:23:00,879
Speaker 1: tough to keep him off the field. The performance that

464
00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:07,040
Speaker 1: he displayed there put on the other night, it was phenomenal. Yeah,

465
00:23:07,040 --> 00:23:10,000
Speaker 1: and Andre, when you look at this offense during Saturday

466
00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:12,800
Speaker 1: Nights game, I mean you're dealing with multiple levels of

467
00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:15,280
Speaker 1: the depth charge Jeff Driscoll playing most of the game.

468
00:23:15,560 --> 00:23:18,000
Speaker 1: It's nice to see them cook up that ninety yard

469
00:23:18,080 --> 00:23:20,080
Speaker 1: drive at the end because it wasn't the best of

470
00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:23,040
Speaker 1: nights overall when you look at a lot of it,

471
00:23:23,119 --> 00:23:25,160
Speaker 1: but they made the plays when they had to make them.

472
00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:28,480
Speaker 1: Does that help the overall team? And how does it

473
00:23:28,520 --> 00:23:31,080
Speaker 1: if it's true, how does that help them that they're

474
00:23:31,119 --> 00:23:33,800
Speaker 1: able to execute like that with some guys that might

475
00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:36,240
Speaker 1: not be here even but some of them might and

476
00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:39,240
Speaker 1: it's a good audition. Yeah, the ones that will be here,

477
00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:42,760
Speaker 1: it'll help them from a confidence standpoint, because nothing's like

478
00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:44,879
Speaker 1: been there, done that. You know. It's like going to

479
00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:48,159
Speaker 1: the golf course and your practice, practice, practice, then your

480
00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:50,640
Speaker 1: face with a shot and you can't execute it because

481
00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:53,160
Speaker 1: it's like, well, I haven't done this before, I haven't

482
00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:56,280
Speaker 1: tried to execute this yet. Well it's no different. Whereas

483
00:23:56,400 --> 00:23:59,000
Speaker 1: you know with a football team, especially on offense, a

484
00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:01,640
Speaker 1: young group, you throw them in a game and they're

485
00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:03,679
Speaker 1: faced with a scenario that, hey, we got to go

486
00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:07,080
Speaker 1: ninety yard. Well, we've done this before, remember when? And

487
00:24:07,160 --> 00:24:09,400
Speaker 1: that's kind of I don't care if it's a preseason

488
00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:12,240
Speaker 1: game or what. You there, you're trying to paint different

489
00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:15,480
Speaker 1: scenarios and situations during the game so that they play

490
00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:17,920
Speaker 1: out that way you're so you're prepared for him in

491
00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:21,000
Speaker 1: a regular season. So yeah, if Jeff Drisco has to

492
00:24:21,040 --> 00:24:23,440
Speaker 1: play this year, he's he can. He can go back

493
00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:25,680
Speaker 1: in his memory bank and pull that one off, along

494
00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:27,720
Speaker 1: with a couple of other guys that were on the

495
00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:31,679
Speaker 1: field with him. I think just winning period builds some

496
00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:35,600
Speaker 1: confidence because you're working and it's hard work during training

497
00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:39,160
Speaker 1: camp and you're finally facing another team where somebody's keeping

498
00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:42,640
Speaker 1: score even though the record doesn't count the score accounts,

499
00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:44,960
Speaker 1: and so when you can say, hey, yeah we won

500
00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:47,600
Speaker 1: one the other night, that's a that's that's one of

501
00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:51,000
Speaker 1: those that help certainly helps build a little bit of confidence.

502
00:24:51,520 --> 00:24:53,439
Speaker 1: And Drey Gotta didn't see you a lot of time

503
00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:55,880
Speaker 1: on Saturday night. We've seen a lot of in training camp,

504
00:24:55,880 --> 00:24:58,399
Speaker 1: and that's Davis Mills and we haven't talked about him

505
00:24:58,440 --> 00:25:01,640
Speaker 1: because the two drives were just non to script. One

506
00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:03,760
Speaker 1: started with the TfL, then one started with a holding

507
00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:06,320
Speaker 1: gall You didn't see Davis for a lot. But if

508
00:25:06,359 --> 00:25:09,000
Speaker 1: you get into week two, Ay, what would be your

509
00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:12,160
Speaker 1: approach with Davis? And b if he does get increased

510
00:25:12,160 --> 00:25:14,000
Speaker 1: playing time, what do you want to see from him

511
00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:16,720
Speaker 1: against the Rams? Yeah? I don't know that. I need

512
00:25:16,760 --> 00:25:19,800
Speaker 1: to see a ton more because what I'm seeing, you

513
00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:22,640
Speaker 1: know what you see him in training camp and then

514
00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:26,040
Speaker 1: obviously last at the end of last season. So I

515
00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:27,920
Speaker 1: think he's gonna be treated like a lot of other

516
00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:31,280
Speaker 1: veteran quarterbacks. Is that good for him back from who knows?

517
00:25:31,320 --> 00:25:33,800
Speaker 1: We'll know once Week one rolls around. In terms of

518
00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:37,400
Speaker 1: how he was handled in the preseason, I honestly can't

519
00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:39,840
Speaker 1: tell you how there used to be a script to

520
00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:42,560
Speaker 1: the preseason where you knew what the starters are gonna

521
00:25:42,560 --> 00:25:44,680
Speaker 1: play in this game, and they play in this game

522
00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:46,800
Speaker 1: and you shut it down for this one. Seems like

523
00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:49,639
Speaker 1: now the first preseason games being treated like the fourth

524
00:25:50,119 --> 00:25:52,439
Speaker 1: fourth preseason game of a couple of years ago, and

525
00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:55,480
Speaker 1: so on and so forth. So even a lot of

526
00:25:55,520 --> 00:25:59,320
Speaker 1: teams second preseason game because I think it was Jacksonville

527
00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:04,120
Speaker 1: and maybe the Raiders who played the first the Hall

528
00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:06,199
Speaker 1: of Fame game, and then all of a sudden, you

529
00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:08,160
Speaker 1: don't see a lot of Derek Carr in the second

530
00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:10,720
Speaker 1: game when you're expecting to. Now, maybe that's because they'll

531
00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:13,800
Speaker 1: have you the four of them by default, but you

532
00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:16,960
Speaker 1: just don't know how much who's going to play. So

533
00:26:17,119 --> 00:26:21,840
Speaker 1: in reference to that with Davis, I'm guessing, like anybody else,

534
00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:24,359
Speaker 1: I'm pulling at straws in terms of how much you

535
00:26:24,440 --> 00:26:26,960
Speaker 1: should play. I think as a young player, you want

536
00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:30,639
Speaker 1: to play as much as possible, even if it's the preseason,

537
00:26:30,680 --> 00:26:33,960
Speaker 1: because nothing is like game reps and seeing it somebody

538
00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:37,280
Speaker 1: else's defense and having to adjust on the fly in

539
00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:41,520
Speaker 1: order to put your team in a successful situation. Andre

540
00:26:41,600 --> 00:26:44,840
Speaker 1: it's interesting to me that loveyball continues and it doesn't

541
00:26:44,840 --> 00:26:47,240
Speaker 1: matter who's in the game. The defense. If you give

542
00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:49,000
Speaker 1: up a few yards, all right, you give up a

543
00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:51,480
Speaker 1: few yards, but let's prevent the scores and let's get

544
00:26:51,520 --> 00:26:57,879
Speaker 1: takeaways and negative plays, sacks, TFLs or whatever. It's like

545
00:26:58,200 --> 00:27:02,040
Speaker 1: he just instills this thick into the entire defense, no

546
00:27:02,119 --> 00:27:05,040
Speaker 1: matter who's on the roster, that this must be done.

547
00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:08,240
Speaker 1: How does he do it? And can you discuss that,

548
00:27:08,320 --> 00:27:11,320
Speaker 1: because it's evident in years one and two of his tenure.

549
00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:15,440
Speaker 1: I don't know that there's any any secret to how

550
00:27:15,480 --> 00:27:19,320
Speaker 1: he's doing it. I mean any special sauces, just how

551
00:27:19,359 --> 00:27:22,920
Speaker 1: he teaches it and how you get players to buy in.

552
00:27:23,040 --> 00:27:26,879
Speaker 1: And then every drill is important in terms of getting

553
00:27:26,880 --> 00:27:29,480
Speaker 1: the ball out or every drill making sure you come

554
00:27:29,560 --> 00:27:32,680
Speaker 1: up with an interception or some some type of turnover.

555
00:27:33,040 --> 00:27:35,560
Speaker 1: We're gonna will bend, but we won't break. They showed

556
00:27:35,560 --> 00:27:38,200
Speaker 1: that the other night where New Orleans drives it down

557
00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:41,080
Speaker 1: inside the ten, maybe even the five, and they force

558
00:27:41,119 --> 00:27:43,879
Speaker 1: the fumble and the Texans go the other way with it.

559
00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:47,280
Speaker 1: But just to not allow a score is huge. But

560
00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:51,080
Speaker 1: it's it's in how it's taught, and that's every single day,

561
00:27:51,200 --> 00:27:57,919
Speaker 1: every single drill reinforcing the importance of getting turnovers and

562
00:27:57,960 --> 00:28:00,800
Speaker 1: getting sacks and getting after the quarterback. Can you start

563
00:28:00,800 --> 00:28:03,479
Speaker 1: to see it play out no matter who's on the field,

564
00:28:04,119 --> 00:28:07,760
Speaker 1: every group is, every group on every level. It's kind

565
00:28:07,760 --> 00:28:10,640
Speaker 1: of bought into it. Drag go back to April when

566
00:28:10,680 --> 00:28:12,760
Speaker 1: Lovey Smith met with the media for the first time

567
00:28:12,800 --> 00:28:14,640
Speaker 1: and it was really excited about everything, and then somebody

568
00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:16,680
Speaker 1: asked about the secondary, and I don't I say he

569
00:28:16,720 --> 00:28:18,320
Speaker 1: went checkel and high, but all of a sudden, it

570
00:28:18,359 --> 00:28:21,360
Speaker 1: was like the secondary wasn't that good last year. Essentially

571
00:28:21,400 --> 00:28:23,920
Speaker 1: I'm paraphrasing, but it was just not up this standard

572
00:28:24,480 --> 00:28:27,600
Speaker 1: that he set for it. And I'm watching on Saturday

573
00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:30,120
Speaker 1: night and I see number five and we didn't even

574
00:28:30,119 --> 00:28:34,080
Speaker 1: see twenty four, even see Stanley. How much does Jalen

575
00:28:34,200 --> 00:28:37,840
Speaker 1: Petrie add to that secondary, and in adding to the secondary,

576
00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:41,360
Speaker 1: add to this entire defense, Well, I think a tremendous amount.

577
00:28:41,360 --> 00:28:45,080
Speaker 1: Because you've got an athletic safety. You've got a very smart,

578
00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:47,640
Speaker 1: football savvy guy back there that just you know, you

579
00:28:47,720 --> 00:28:49,440
Speaker 1: can make plays. You can line him up in a

580
00:28:49,520 --> 00:28:52,960
Speaker 1: different a lot of different situations, and he's gonna he's

581
00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:55,400
Speaker 1: gonna be around the football making plays no matter what.

582
00:28:55,520 --> 00:28:58,360
Speaker 1: And then from a depth standpoint, you bring in Stephen Nelson.

583
00:28:58,760 --> 00:29:01,840
Speaker 1: He's playing well on one Sartremont Smith come up with

584
00:29:02,280 --> 00:29:05,640
Speaker 1: an interception. Eric Murray's back Terrence Brooks has played some

585
00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:09,480
Speaker 1: played well at times during camp and certainly the other night.

586
00:29:09,600 --> 00:29:14,560
Speaker 1: So there's some depth being made. And it's just throughout

587
00:29:14,600 --> 00:29:18,360
Speaker 1: the secondary, which if that's an area in which will

588
00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:20,920
Speaker 1: be a strength this year because there's some there's gonna

589
00:29:20,960 --> 00:29:22,520
Speaker 1: be some mistakes back there. There are a lot of

590
00:29:22,560 --> 00:29:26,200
Speaker 1: young players that I just just named two of them

591
00:29:25,200 --> 00:29:28,400
Speaker 1: being being rookies and Petrie and Stingley that are going

592
00:29:28,480 --> 00:29:31,280
Speaker 1: to play a bunch of B starters. But if they

593
00:29:31,320 --> 00:29:35,320
Speaker 1: can grow at the rate with the with everybody else's

594
00:29:35,360 --> 00:29:38,200
Speaker 1: back there. From a veteran standpoint, I think the secondary

595
00:29:38,240 --> 00:29:40,880
Speaker 1: is gonna be one of the strengths of this team.

596
00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:45,640
Speaker 1: Andre Ware joining us dre Tennessee Malik Willis. He plays

597
00:29:45,680 --> 00:29:50,600
Speaker 1: pretty well in his debut, obviously in a substitute role

598
00:29:50,680 --> 00:29:53,720
Speaker 1: with the Titans. Your thoughts on where it's all going,

599
00:29:53,880 --> 00:29:55,640
Speaker 1: And as I told McLean, I'm going to ask you

600
00:29:55,720 --> 00:30:00,000
Speaker 1: this question every week with Tenna in regards to Tennessee.

601
00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:05,120
Speaker 1: And yeah, of course, the whole thing from the time

602
00:30:05,160 --> 00:30:08,480
Speaker 1: that he was drafted the clock started. But you know,

603
00:30:08,560 --> 00:30:11,960
Speaker 1: he's got a gritty veteran coach and Vrabel who kind

604
00:30:11,960 --> 00:30:14,600
Speaker 1: of believes that I make him earn it and so

605
00:30:14,680 --> 00:30:16,520
Speaker 1: on and so forth. Well he might just earn it.

606
00:30:16,560 --> 00:30:18,320
Speaker 1: If you keep putting him out there, he's gonna take

607
00:30:18,360 --> 00:30:21,440
Speaker 1: it and you won't have a choice, or or you're

608
00:30:21,440 --> 00:30:24,200
Speaker 1: gonna have every fan biting at you, uh, in the

609
00:30:24,440 --> 00:30:28,200
Speaker 1: within the city limits of Nashville. Because the kid can play,

610
00:30:28,680 --> 00:30:31,480
Speaker 1: he's athletic. He I think he gives them what they

611
00:30:31,560 --> 00:30:36,280
Speaker 1: want in terms of an asset or a playmaker around

612
00:30:36,400 --> 00:30:39,520
Speaker 1: Derrick Henry. I don't know that Tannehill has that in

613
00:30:39,560 --> 00:30:41,560
Speaker 1: his game. He used to have it where he was

614
00:30:41,600 --> 00:30:44,480
Speaker 1: a dynamic runner, but we don't see that from him anymore.

615
00:30:44,920 --> 00:30:47,320
Speaker 1: We're gonna get that from Malik Willis, so I think

616
00:30:47,320 --> 00:30:50,680
Speaker 1: it's a matter of time. It's not if it's when

617
00:30:51,440 --> 00:30:53,840
Speaker 1: he eventually takes over that job. And I don't see

618
00:30:53,840 --> 00:30:55,920
Speaker 1: Tennessee being very good this year, so it may be

619
00:30:56,040 --> 00:31:00,480
Speaker 1: sooner rather than later. Dre. I know the should is

620
00:31:00,520 --> 00:31:06,000
Speaker 1: an absolute yes, But will the Baltimore Ravens get a

621
00:31:06,120 --> 00:31:11,240
Speaker 1: contract deal signed with our guy Lamar Jackson before week one,

622
00:31:11,280 --> 00:31:13,320
Speaker 1: which is the deadline that Lamar said the other day

623
00:31:13,320 --> 00:31:15,560
Speaker 1: when he's talking to his press conference. Will the Ravens

624
00:31:15,600 --> 00:31:17,800
Speaker 1: get it done? We know they should, it's yes, but

625
00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:21,040
Speaker 1: will they get it done? I don't think so. I

626
00:31:21,080 --> 00:31:23,920
Speaker 1: think that's just kind of how they do business. And uh,

627
00:31:24,200 --> 00:31:26,160
Speaker 1: you know, Lamar is gonna have to go out prove

628
00:31:26,240 --> 00:31:29,680
Speaker 1: it again and it's gonna lead to some nasty negotiations

629
00:31:29,720 --> 00:31:32,640
Speaker 1: where you know, the franchise tag, all that stuff. I mean,

630
00:31:32,680 --> 00:31:37,040
Speaker 1: and it's been great between Lamar, the organization, the head coach,

631
00:31:37,440 --> 00:31:41,840
Speaker 1: everybody involved. But I think this is one where there's

632
00:31:41,880 --> 00:31:43,960
Speaker 1: so many of saying, well, can they win a super

633
00:31:43,960 --> 00:31:46,000
Speaker 1: Bowl with his style of play? Can they get them?

634
00:31:46,120 --> 00:31:49,000
Speaker 1: It was the playoffs first, I think, absolutely, get the

635
00:31:49,080 --> 00:31:52,000
Speaker 1: kids and weapons, and you trade his best weapon away

636
00:31:52,200 --> 00:31:55,360
Speaker 1: on the outside in Hollywood Brown to Arizona. And then

637
00:31:55,480 --> 00:31:58,240
Speaker 1: he's supposed to just go go go do it with

638
00:31:58,520 --> 00:32:01,200
Speaker 1: with without any big time playmakers on the outside. So

639
00:32:01,240 --> 00:32:03,360
Speaker 1: we'll see. I mean, it's a team that's built on

640
00:32:03,440 --> 00:32:06,760
Speaker 1: running game and defense, but they are They are making

641
00:32:06,840 --> 00:32:08,800
Speaker 1: him earn it for sure, But I don't see a

642
00:32:08,920 --> 00:32:12,320
Speaker 1: contract being done before the start of the regular season.

643
00:32:12,840 --> 00:32:14,680
Speaker 1: Dre It's very weird. And I'm not bringing up the

644
00:32:14,720 --> 00:32:17,680
Speaker 1: Watson deal because Watson played here. It's just because it's

645
00:32:17,680 --> 00:32:20,360
Speaker 1: a pro football deal with two hundred and thirty million

646
00:32:20,480 --> 00:32:24,240
Speaker 1: guaranteed dollars. It blows my mind because you get the

647
00:32:24,320 --> 00:32:26,680
Speaker 1: Murray deal and it's a little bit more, but it's

648
00:32:26,720 --> 00:32:28,920
Speaker 1: not guaranteed, so everyone's always going to look at the

649
00:32:28,920 --> 00:32:31,760
Speaker 1: guaranteed money. You can give Lamar two fifty, but if

650
00:32:31,760 --> 00:32:34,959
Speaker 1: it's not guaranteed or you don't get over to thirty guaranteed,

651
00:32:35,160 --> 00:32:39,080
Speaker 1: he's not gonna beat Watson's deal, and he deserves to. Objectively,

652
00:32:39,760 --> 00:32:43,320
Speaker 1: it's a really interesting dynamic. Yeah, there's no way he

653
00:32:43,400 --> 00:32:48,959
Speaker 1: deserves to beat Deshaun's deal. He's accomplished more than Deshaun

654
00:32:49,080 --> 00:32:51,560
Speaker 1: has at this point in their careers. And so that's

655
00:32:51,560 --> 00:32:54,480
Speaker 1: just being flat out honest. And so when you start

656
00:32:54,600 --> 00:32:57,000
Speaker 1: looking at it, that's that's why I don't think it's

657
00:32:57,000 --> 00:32:59,240
Speaker 1: going to be done before the start of the regular season,

658
00:32:59,600 --> 00:33:01,520
Speaker 1: is because they're not gonna come up with a number

659
00:33:01,840 --> 00:33:04,480
Speaker 1: that Baltimore feels comfortable with. And I don't think a

660
00:33:04,560 --> 00:33:08,080
Speaker 1: number is gonna be met where Lamar's you know, comfortable,

661
00:33:08,120 --> 00:33:10,720
Speaker 1: because right now, in his mind, if Dasara got two

662
00:33:10,760 --> 00:33:14,800
Speaker 1: thirty and it's all guaranteed, we're at least starting at that. Yeah,

663
00:33:15,080 --> 00:33:17,040
Speaker 1: at the very at least we're starting there. And I

664
00:33:17,040 --> 00:33:22,120
Speaker 1: don't know that Baltimore is prepared to do that. Oh boy, Yeah,

665
00:33:22,160 --> 00:33:25,360
Speaker 1: Well look, Dred's right, Dred's right. If you're Lamar Jackson,

666
00:33:25,360 --> 00:33:27,760
Speaker 1: you look at that and say, well, wait a minute, Yeah,

667
00:33:27,840 --> 00:33:33,200
Speaker 1: no doubt. And here's the thing, because Lamar's style is

668
00:33:33,240 --> 00:33:36,520
Speaker 1: so different and he runs the ball a lot more.

669
00:33:36,760 --> 00:33:40,000
Speaker 1: But here's the thing. Lamar's so dad gum fast and

670
00:33:40,080 --> 00:33:43,240
Speaker 1: so slippery that nobody hits him. But I'll solve this

671
00:33:43,320 --> 00:33:46,360
Speaker 1: for you guys, right, you guys tell me. Can he

672
00:33:46,640 --> 00:33:50,520
Speaker 1: play like this his style for five years? I think so.

673
00:33:50,960 --> 00:33:52,800
Speaker 1: I think he can play at least five four years

674
00:33:52,960 --> 00:33:55,040
Speaker 1: a lot of hits, maybe more. He could play at

675
00:33:55,120 --> 00:33:57,520
Speaker 1: least five more years like this. That's fifty a year.

676
00:33:57,520 --> 00:34:00,000
Speaker 1: If you go to two fifty. Yeah, well, my friends

677
00:34:00,040 --> 00:34:02,560
Speaker 1: in this market, is worth it. Yeah. And then mix

678
00:34:02,680 --> 00:34:05,480
Speaker 1: in him learning the game the game's slowing down, and

679
00:34:05,520 --> 00:34:09,280
Speaker 1: then him adjusting and becoming you know what everybody thinks

680
00:34:09,280 --> 00:34:11,600
Speaker 1: he should be right now. Anyway, who knows if he's

681
00:34:11,640 --> 00:34:13,680
Speaker 1: going to slow down or not. The way you know,

682
00:34:13,880 --> 00:34:16,719
Speaker 1: guy's trained during the offseason, all the stuff that's out

683
00:34:16,760 --> 00:34:19,880
Speaker 1: there to keep yourself healthy. If Brady can play his

684
00:34:19,960 --> 00:34:23,000
Speaker 1: way for you know, X amount of twenty plus years,

685
00:34:23,320 --> 00:34:26,120
Speaker 1: why not Lamar? If he keeps himself in great shape,

686
00:34:26,120 --> 00:34:28,279
Speaker 1: and as far as I know, he does all the

687
00:34:28,400 --> 00:34:31,680
Speaker 1: right things off the field, he works at it. I mean,

688
00:34:31,680 --> 00:34:34,680
Speaker 1: he looked like a totally different dude going to camp

689
00:34:34,760 --> 00:34:38,520
Speaker 1: this year than in previous years. So I think, I think, so,

690
00:34:39,080 --> 00:34:41,920
Speaker 1: I think when a lot of people are gonna meet

691
00:34:41,960 --> 00:34:44,120
Speaker 1: me with, well, wait a minute, Deshaun's done more or

692
00:34:44,160 --> 00:34:47,920
Speaker 1: as much as Lamar. I'm talking about from a teen standpoint,

693
00:34:47,920 --> 00:34:50,960
Speaker 1: a team success standpoint, where every year he's he's got

694
00:34:51,000 --> 00:34:53,640
Speaker 1: them in a playoff conversation or in the playoffs and

695
00:34:53,719 --> 00:34:56,399
Speaker 1: advancing through the playoffs. And no, by the way, he's

696
00:34:56,400 --> 00:35:00,920
Speaker 1: got an MVP to his record too, So my point exactly, Yeah, yeah, yeah,

697
00:35:00,960 --> 00:35:04,600
Speaker 1: So I mean that's all there, drey We. I don't

698
00:35:04,600 --> 00:35:07,040
Speaker 1: think any of us. I don't think anybody knows exactly

699
00:35:07,080 --> 00:35:10,680
Speaker 1: why Tom Brady is taking a respite from training camp

700
00:35:10,680 --> 00:35:13,839
Speaker 1: preseason games. Would you be worried at all if you're

701
00:35:13,960 --> 00:35:19,120
Speaker 1: a Tampa Bay Buccaneer fans staff supporter, Yeah, I would

702
00:35:19,160 --> 00:35:21,759
Speaker 1: be because there are a lot of dynamics in play here.

703
00:35:22,239 --> 00:35:24,480
Speaker 1: You don't have the same head coach. That makes a difference.

704
00:35:24,480 --> 00:35:27,000
Speaker 1: I don't care what everything else around it looks like.

705
00:35:27,120 --> 00:35:30,840
Speaker 1: It's different because it's a different guy making daily decisions

706
00:35:30,840 --> 00:35:33,520
Speaker 1: and how we go about doing our business. Gronk's not

707
00:35:33,640 --> 00:35:37,359
Speaker 1: there a lot of security blankets for Tom aren't there

708
00:35:37,440 --> 00:35:39,560
Speaker 1: this year. They're a different but they're a different team

709
00:35:39,640 --> 00:35:42,360
Speaker 1: where they're not bringing back, you know, every starter and

710
00:35:42,440 --> 00:35:44,759
Speaker 1: they did that and still didn't win a Super Bowl

711
00:35:44,880 --> 00:35:48,960
Speaker 1: last year. So you remove a lot of those dynamics

712
00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:51,800
Speaker 1: and it's gonna be tougher, a tougher year for Tampa

713
00:35:51,840 --> 00:35:54,800
Speaker 1: Bay than in years past. Then now you you factor

714
00:35:54,880 --> 00:35:57,800
Speaker 1: in this move with Tom being out of training camp,

715
00:35:57,880 --> 00:36:00,719
Speaker 1: not getting the necessary reps to vibe and get on

716
00:36:00,760 --> 00:36:04,000
Speaker 1: the same page with a lot of some new components

717
00:36:04,040 --> 00:36:07,400
Speaker 1: to the office, to Julio Joneses and everybody else. We

718
00:36:07,480 --> 00:36:10,920
Speaker 1: saw a foreignette come into camp out of sheep, So

719
00:36:11,120 --> 00:36:12,840
Speaker 1: you know, there are a lot of different dynamics that

720
00:36:12,880 --> 00:36:15,040
Speaker 1: I don't think the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are going to

721
00:36:15,120 --> 00:36:17,840
Speaker 1: be the same team. Are nearly the same team that

722
00:36:17,880 --> 00:36:20,359
Speaker 1: they were the past couple of seasons, But that New

723
00:36:20,480 --> 00:36:23,799
Speaker 1: Orleans food hits fast and hard. You're around for two

724
00:36:23,880 --> 00:36:26,759
Speaker 1: three months not doing much. Len Fournett should know, man,

725
00:36:27,160 --> 00:36:29,239
Speaker 1: he should know. You too many sharp real oysters, and

726
00:36:29,280 --> 00:36:31,640
Speaker 1: oh boys, you're gonna be feeling two sixty by August.

727
00:36:31,760 --> 00:36:37,160
Speaker 1: If you go to Cafe Dumont, it's over forget. Yeah, yeah,

728
00:36:37,239 --> 00:36:40,520
Speaker 1: you cannot possibly cope with that, Dre. I know you

729
00:36:40,600 --> 00:36:43,399
Speaker 1: got Week zero action coming up in college football? Wait,

730
00:36:43,440 --> 00:36:46,560
Speaker 1: what's week zero again? A week from Saturday? It's the

731
00:36:46,719 --> 00:36:50,720
Speaker 1: twenty seventh UK. Yeah, it's I've got a few weeks left,

732
00:36:50,800 --> 00:36:54,280
Speaker 1: but it's it's approaching fast. Week zero in Los Cruces,

733
00:36:54,640 --> 00:37:01,239
Speaker 1: New Mexico and New Mexico State playing. Uh boy, I'm

734
00:37:01,280 --> 00:37:05,719
Speaker 1: at a loss. That's why I'm not ready yet. Nevada

735
00:37:05,840 --> 00:37:08,520
Speaker 1: and then the trip up to Michigan State in Week

736
00:37:08,600 --> 00:37:11,520
Speaker 1: one against Central Michigan. So those are the first two

737
00:37:11,960 --> 00:37:14,000
Speaker 1: that I don't know about. Maybe get a third or

738
00:37:14,120 --> 00:37:17,880
Speaker 1: fourth game once I get to Charlotte this week for

739
00:37:17,960 --> 00:37:20,880
Speaker 1: college football meetings. But you got a lot of Friday

740
00:37:20,960 --> 00:37:24,239
Speaker 1: nights this year, right, it should be all Friday nights

741
00:37:24,239 --> 00:37:28,360
Speaker 1: with the exception of Week zero. Okay, Friday nights travel

742
00:37:28,600 --> 00:37:32,640
Speaker 1: stress free. That's awesome. That's a big national window, the

743
00:37:32,760 --> 00:37:36,319
Speaker 1: Friday night package. Until the NFL decides to come up

744
00:37:36,320 --> 00:37:38,480
Speaker 1: and take that away too. This is the place to

745
00:37:38,520 --> 00:37:41,640
Speaker 1: be in college football is wonderful, no doubt. I mean,

746
00:37:41,680 --> 00:37:44,440
Speaker 1: we we said, you know all along, we don't want

747
00:37:44,440 --> 00:37:46,239
Speaker 1: to go head to head with the NFL in terms

748
00:37:46,280 --> 00:37:48,759
Speaker 1: of you know, from a rating standpoint. Just I'm talking

749
00:37:48,920 --> 00:37:51,840
Speaker 1: my crew and lo and behold we get the Friday

750
00:37:51,920 --> 00:37:53,960
Speaker 1: Night package. I think it's three years running, two or

751
00:37:54,000 --> 00:37:57,200
Speaker 1: three years running now, and it's it's been a great

752
00:37:57,200 --> 00:37:59,879
Speaker 1: window for us. We've had some great football, great game

753
00:38:00,800 --> 00:38:05,279
Speaker 1: expect exactly the staying going into twenty twenty two. All Right, Drey,

754
00:38:05,360 --> 00:38:07,680
Speaker 1: thanks a lot for joining us, looking forward to Friday

755
00:38:07,760 --> 00:38:11,040
Speaker 1: Night in La my friend. All right, guys, see you there.

756
00:38:11,440 --> 00:38:13,920
Speaker 1: You know, Mark and Andre had been together for twenty

757
00:38:14,200 --> 00:38:17,319
Speaker 1: one seasons. I'm just I'm in year number nine, but

758
00:38:17,560 --> 00:38:19,800
Speaker 1: obviously I feel like I'm part of the family now.

759
00:38:20,160 --> 00:38:23,520
Speaker 1: But this will all be trip number one to Sofi

760
00:38:23,600 --> 00:38:27,200
Speaker 1: Stadium on Friday Night for the three of us. Of course,

761
00:38:27,360 --> 00:38:31,360
Speaker 1: Robert Hensley Aaron, our engineer, who's tremendous. It'll be our

762
00:38:31,360 --> 00:38:34,560
Speaker 1: first trip to Sofi. That'll be fun. That'll knock off

763
00:38:34,840 --> 00:38:38,560
Speaker 1: twenty to thirty thirty stadium. Well wait, the Jets of

764
00:38:38,640 --> 00:38:40,279
Speaker 1: Gidde Shehery wins. I don't have the math on it,

765
00:38:40,360 --> 00:38:43,000
Speaker 1: but after this we'll need Allegian Stadium and then next

766
00:38:43,080 --> 00:38:47,640
Speaker 1: year Mercedes Bands Stadium in Atlanta. Seven years ago, in

767
00:38:47,719 --> 00:38:49,719
Speaker 1: twenty fifteen, it was still in the Georgia Dome and

768
00:38:49,760 --> 00:38:53,760
Speaker 1: it would got ugly. Yeah, I mean I got really

769
00:38:54,400 --> 00:38:57,040
Speaker 1: really ugly, if you know what I mean. But that's

770
00:38:57,040 --> 00:38:59,640
Speaker 1: for next year so far on Friday night, gonna be

771
00:38:59,680 --> 00:39:02,600
Speaker 1: fun to be out in Los Angeles for me for

772
00:39:02,640 --> 00:39:08,360
Speaker 1: a number of reasons. But Texans rams seven o'clock kick there,

773
00:39:08,520 --> 00:39:11,719
Speaker 1: nine o'clock kick here, So looking forward to that. All right,

774
00:39:11,719 --> 00:39:14,080
Speaker 1: we get back, we will go around the league, a

775
00:39:14,160 --> 00:39:17,000
Speaker 1: quick trip around the league next right here in Texas,

776
00:39:17,040 --> 00:39:21,640
Speaker 1: all axis do's all axis do's all axis. Wena fun

777
00:39:21,800 --> 00:39:24,360
Speaker 1: sega this Monday the issue of Texans All Access. Glad

778
00:39:24,440 --> 00:39:28,160
Speaker 1: to be with you from Monday Texans Radio Studio. I

779
00:39:28,239 --> 00:39:31,800
Speaker 1: am your host, John Ayres, football analyst, sideline reporter of

780
00:39:31,880 --> 00:39:35,160
Speaker 1: the Texans have to get down to eighty five players

781
00:39:35,160 --> 00:39:38,080
Speaker 1: and the math is a little different because, as Levey

782
00:39:38,120 --> 00:39:41,040
Speaker 1: Smith pointed out today in his press conference, the Texans

783
00:39:41,080 --> 00:39:46,120
Speaker 1: have an international pathaway program player named d Odelay and

784
00:39:46,320 --> 00:39:50,160
Speaker 1: number seventy five, and coach talked about him participating on

785
00:39:50,160 --> 00:39:53,600
Speaker 1: a kickoff team. He's a guy that we'll stick around

786
00:39:53,640 --> 00:39:55,680
Speaker 1: on the roster. They get an extra roster spot for

787
00:39:56,719 --> 00:39:59,840
Speaker 1: do being a part of it. But the Texans have

788
00:40:00,560 --> 00:40:06,120
Speaker 1: already moved forward in making a few moves. Now, I

789
00:40:06,160 --> 00:40:09,880
Speaker 1: don't have anything officially in front of me, but sources,

790
00:40:09,880 --> 00:40:12,400
Speaker 1: and I'm seeing a number of these on the Twitter,

791
00:40:12,480 --> 00:40:14,799
Speaker 1: so it must be real, because whatever you see on

792
00:40:14,800 --> 00:40:19,799
Speaker 1: Twitter is real, folks. But I trust these sources. The

793
00:40:19,840 --> 00:40:26,120
Speaker 1: Texans have released veterans Chad Baby and Jordan Jenkins. Now,

794
00:40:26,200 --> 00:40:30,200
Speaker 1: Jenkins had been on pop and had not been able

795
00:40:30,200 --> 00:40:34,080
Speaker 1: to practice or play in the preseason game. If the

796
00:40:34,080 --> 00:40:40,480
Speaker 1: Texans have depth anywhere, more so than the defensive line,

797
00:40:40,520 --> 00:40:43,040
Speaker 1: I don't know where it is. So Jordan's kind of

798
00:40:43,040 --> 00:40:45,080
Speaker 1: fighting an uphill battle and some sets to come back

799
00:40:45,120 --> 00:40:49,480
Speaker 1: from the injury and then find some opportunity amongst that group.

800
00:40:50,000 --> 00:40:55,319
Speaker 1: So Chad Baby and Jordan Jenkins both released. Now they

801
00:40:55,320 --> 00:40:58,120
Speaker 1: are veterans, they are not subject to the waiver wire.

802
00:40:58,200 --> 00:41:02,400
Speaker 1: But the next two are long snapper Harrison Elliott who

803
00:41:02,680 --> 00:41:06,400
Speaker 1: filled in here while John Weeks was out for about

804
00:41:06,400 --> 00:41:09,760
Speaker 1: a week, and running back bj Emmons, Which I hate

805
00:41:09,760 --> 00:41:13,600
Speaker 1: this for Emmons because he gets here and really didn't

806
00:41:13,600 --> 00:41:17,759
Speaker 1: have an opportunity for the most part, was here two

807
00:41:17,880 --> 00:41:21,200
Speaker 1: three days and was not did not play in the

808
00:41:21,280 --> 00:41:25,960
Speaker 1: game on Saturday against the New Orleans Saints. And so

809
00:41:26,560 --> 00:41:30,000
Speaker 1: it's like that Simpson's meme, the of the Simpson Homer's

810
00:41:30,080 --> 00:41:33,520
Speaker 1: dad walks into the bar, puts his hat on the rack,

811
00:41:33,800 --> 00:41:35,680
Speaker 1: turns right around and grab his hat and walks right

812
00:41:35,719 --> 00:41:40,000
Speaker 1: back out. That's unfortunately what happened to bj Emmons from

813
00:41:40,000 --> 00:41:42,120
Speaker 1: Ford Atlantic and had been around the league play with

814
00:41:42,160 --> 00:41:46,720
Speaker 1: the Raiders, had been in the USFL. So those four,

815
00:41:47,800 --> 00:41:50,360
Speaker 1: I believe gets them down to eighty six. And obviously

816
00:41:50,400 --> 00:41:52,759
Speaker 1: they can keep one more than eighty five because they

817
00:41:52,800 --> 00:41:56,640
Speaker 1: have DAO on the roster. So you're gonna start seeing

818
00:41:56,640 --> 00:42:01,320
Speaker 1: those things happening. It already happened in Kansas City with

819
00:42:01,440 --> 00:42:04,120
Speaker 1: the Kansas City Chiefs just jumped right ahead of the

820
00:42:04,160 --> 00:42:08,840
Speaker 1: Tuesday deadline and released a few players. One of them

821
00:42:10,080 --> 00:42:13,279
Speaker 1: has ties to the Houston Texans, and that would be

822
00:42:13,400 --> 00:42:19,160
Speaker 1: Lonnie Johnson. He is waived from the Kansas City chief roster.

823
00:42:19,320 --> 00:42:24,720
Speaker 1: Now the designation of waved versus released is key because

824
00:42:24,719 --> 00:42:27,200
Speaker 1: he's still subject to the waiver process, so anybody can

825
00:42:27,280 --> 00:42:29,520
Speaker 1: pick him up at this point if they would like.

826
00:42:29,600 --> 00:42:33,160
Speaker 1: But Lonnie Johnson released from the Chiefs. Excuse me, Waved

827
00:42:33,239 --> 00:42:37,640
Speaker 1: from the chiefs at this point, so some transactional news

828
00:42:37,680 --> 00:42:40,279
Speaker 1: to finish the show, and a big thanks to all

829
00:42:40,320 --> 00:42:43,120
Speaker 1: of you for listening to the show this evening. But

830
00:42:43,280 --> 00:42:47,359
Speaker 1: thanks to Mark, to Andre to all of you. Thank

831
00:42:47,400 --> 00:42:49,480
