1 00:00:00,680 --> 00:00:03,440 Speaker 1: Here's the snap looking SUPs, the ball, timing for the 2 00:00:03,440 --> 00:00:08,800 Speaker 1: pylog that he's got it, Razzle Tashole touchdown stands and 3 00:00:08,920 --> 00:00:13,320 Speaker 1: the Texans go in front game day. He is every day. 4 00:00:13,520 --> 00:00:14,920 Speaker 1: We had a lot of energy and we brought a 5 00:00:14,960 --> 00:00:19,639 Speaker 1: lot of spark for this organization. Five nights a week, 6 00:00:19,840 --> 00:00:23,680 Speaker 1: they hits keep on coming out. The Texans say they 7 00:00:23,720 --> 00:00:28,800 Speaker 1: have it and they do No. It's Texans all exits 8 00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:33,200 Speaker 1: and it is live from NRG Stadium. Mark Vanderman, John 9 00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:35,680 Speaker 1: Harris with you with chain engineering for us in our 10 00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:39,360 Speaker 1: broadcast position, our new broadcast position. And I love doing 11 00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:42,920 Speaker 1: the show from my office at home, but this is 12 00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:47,760 Speaker 1: better considerably as the team is warming up for a scrimmage. Johnny, Yeah, 13 00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:50,080 Speaker 1: because you know the energy level of being here, and 14 00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:53,200 Speaker 1: I'm standing up and I don't stand up much these days, 15 00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:55,200 Speaker 1: you know, in the office at home doing the show. 16 00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:57,880 Speaker 1: And I should, I know I should because my back's 17 00:00:57,880 --> 00:01:00,760 Speaker 1: been bothered. But I have found a seat, seedy position 18 00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:03,280 Speaker 1: right now where my back is not bothering me. But 19 00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:07,080 Speaker 1: I'll give you about four other reasons, probably two for 20 00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:09,680 Speaker 1: you and two for me why doing the show here 21 00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:13,240 Speaker 1: is a little bit better. You have kids, and a dog. 22 00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:16,880 Speaker 1: I have kids and a dog and dogs, so that 23 00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:20,560 Speaker 1: makes it exponentially more difficult at home. But if you 24 00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:23,280 Speaker 1: just stopped for a split second and go, that's in. 25 00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:25,920 Speaker 1: That's the music and energy stadium. Yeah, no kids, no 26 00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:28,680 Speaker 1: dogs gonna interrupt this show. Yeah we have zero dog 27 00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:34,200 Speaker 1: barking tonight. Dog barks on your average COVID Texans All 28 00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:36,480 Speaker 1: Access is one and a half. At least, take you 29 00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:41,160 Speaker 1: over time, pound the over and it does a rainstorm, 30 00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:43,960 Speaker 1: forget it, because little Pippa is gonna go nuts. Okay, 31 00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:46,039 Speaker 1: here we are. The team's gonna go nuts tonight in 32 00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:48,680 Speaker 1: a scrimmage. This is gonna be their last one until 33 00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:50,720 Speaker 1: they get into true game week mode. And I think 34 00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:53,640 Speaker 1: they've already been in a game week sort of mode, Johnny, 35 00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:56,400 Speaker 1: But you mentioned it, and you and we both felt 36 00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:59,120 Speaker 1: like this was a Thursday. It just felt like a Thursday. 37 00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:02,040 Speaker 1: In fact, I was one ding, where's McLean? But it's 38 00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:07,400 Speaker 1: tomorrow the General's visit, because if it was a Thursday, 39 00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:10,639 Speaker 1: would be the last preseason game. And I think this, 40 00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:14,000 Speaker 1: I think the Texans caught a break with this particular 41 00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:17,280 Speaker 1: aspect of not having the last preseason game this particular year. 42 00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:21,200 Speaker 1: They're playing in that opener, right, And yeah, you wouldn't 43 00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:23,520 Speaker 1: play anybody in the last preseason game that you would 44 00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:25,840 Speaker 1: play a week later. But I think it's good to 45 00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:30,120 Speaker 1: have that off your calendar. Ye, do this thing here tonight. 46 00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:32,959 Speaker 1: And this is the last house on the left now, 47 00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:35,239 Speaker 1: because I always call that fourth preseason getting the last 48 00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:37,600 Speaker 1: house on the left. This is the last house on 49 00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:40,120 Speaker 1: the left for whoever's gonna get cut. Yes, And as 50 00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:43,800 Speaker 1: we say that, though, the roster is fifty three players 51 00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:47,920 Speaker 1: plus sixteen on the practice squad, right, so we're up 52 00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:51,320 Speaker 1: to sixty nine players right right, there's only eighty here 53 00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:54,040 Speaker 1: in the building. That's eleven gone. But you might have 54 00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:57,960 Speaker 1: an IR or two. And guess what IR. Santa Santa 55 00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:02,640 Speaker 1: Goodell said that the IR this year is a revolving door. Yes, 56 00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:05,280 Speaker 1: the i R is very flexible this year as a 57 00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:07,639 Speaker 1: post and it's been more flexible over the past six years. 58 00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:12,959 Speaker 1: Santa Santa Goodell has has an asked the IR is 59 00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:16,200 Speaker 1: a revolving door, and the practice squad as all sorts 60 00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:19,519 Speaker 1: of other goodies related to it. So I think that Johnny, 61 00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:21,360 Speaker 1: this is the last house on the left for a 62 00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:23,959 Speaker 1: few guys here tonight. Yeah, I don't think you're you're 63 00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:26,160 Speaker 1: dead on. I don't know. We'll see all eighty guys today. 64 00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:27,600 Speaker 1: In fact, as they look down there, I see some 65 00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:30,440 Speaker 1: that are already and in shorts and T shirts to 66 00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:33,040 Speaker 1: warm it up because they've been banged up. And there 67 00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:35,160 Speaker 1: will be a few guys that go over to the 68 00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:38,120 Speaker 1: IR to start the year. So that you're right, that's 69 00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:40,160 Speaker 1: gonna account for you know, I don't know, two, three, 70 00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:43,520 Speaker 1: four maybe now if you take four added to the 71 00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:47,000 Speaker 1: sixty nine, you're seventy. I mean, they're really only about 72 00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:52,080 Speaker 1: five to six guys that are gonna leave the stadium. Yeah, really, 73 00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:54,520 Speaker 1: because the rest of them are gonna be around in 74 00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:57,080 Speaker 1: some way, shape or form. Is that amazing? Which is 75 00:03:57,240 --> 00:03:59,800 Speaker 1: just it's kind of it's kind of mind boggling, but 76 00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:02,480 Speaker 1: kind of like it. And you know, Bill Bill O'Brien 77 00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:05,360 Speaker 1: said this the other day. He was asked a question 78 00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:07,800 Speaker 1: about I don't know, the fifty three man roster or 79 00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:09,960 Speaker 1: cut down or whatever, and he kind of just said, 80 00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:13,840 Speaker 1: I think it was asked about, you know, claims on waivers, 81 00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:18,360 Speaker 1: because the Texans have made significant claims off of waivers. Yeah, 82 00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:20,600 Speaker 1: going into the twenty eighteen season, they got a j 83 00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:24,840 Speaker 1: Moore and Buddy how the twenty nineteen season, they made 84 00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:28,200 Speaker 1: a bunch of transactions. But he said at some point 85 00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:32,240 Speaker 1: that press conference, this is our team. And the way 86 00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:37,000 Speaker 1: that I took that was this, the fifty three will 87 00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:40,960 Speaker 1: come from this group of guys. Yeah, the sixteen practice 88 00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:43,760 Speaker 1: squad more than likely going to come from this group 89 00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:47,800 Speaker 1: of guys. Now is that if somebody calls them with 90 00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:50,360 Speaker 1: a deal that they may want to listen to. Sure, Sure, 91 00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:52,960 Speaker 1: they're always gonna listen. Bill's always gonna listen, They're all. 92 00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:57,440 Speaker 1: Jack's always gonna listen. They're always gonna listen. But when 93 00:04:57,480 --> 00:04:59,240 Speaker 1: he said that, I kind of got the feeling like 94 00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:02,320 Speaker 1: he's happy with what he's got, and you never know, 95 00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:05,440 Speaker 1: injury happens tonight, they got to make a move. They've 96 00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:07,240 Speaker 1: got a week to get somebody ready. I mean, think 97 00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:10,559 Speaker 1: about it, We're what eight days away from playing against 98 00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:13,400 Speaker 1: Kansas City. This is the day that Laramie Tunsel showed 99 00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:16,200 Speaker 1: up on campus last year. You know, if you think 100 00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:18,200 Speaker 1: about it that way, Laramie showed up because that was 101 00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:22,000 Speaker 1: an extra time exactly at extra time, and you needed 102 00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:25,440 Speaker 1: it then. And I think you're right. I always I 103 00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:28,080 Speaker 1: always wonder about that Thursday night preseason game. When you 104 00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:31,159 Speaker 1: have that Thursday night opener, you know, you just want 105 00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:33,560 Speaker 1: to get through that game healthy. You want everybody to 106 00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:36,039 Speaker 1: walk out of their healthy, and you want to be 107 00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:39,720 Speaker 1: able to find maybe a surprise or two, or you 108 00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:41,760 Speaker 1: want to find a guy in that last preseason game 109 00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:46,039 Speaker 1: that just solidifies what he's done all you camp and 110 00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:47,920 Speaker 1: you're like, you know what, I've really been thinking about 111 00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:50,400 Speaker 1: keeping this guy. And I know it was against the 112 00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:52,000 Speaker 1: twos and threes. I don't care. He's been doing it 113 00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:53,919 Speaker 1: all camp and he's solidified it. Tonight We're keeping this 114 00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:56,160 Speaker 1: guy in AFT. I love the way I was gonna 115 00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:59,160 Speaker 1: say that word solidified. You want to confirm your opinion, yes, right, 116 00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:03,400 Speaker 1: and maybe also negatively with some guys like see because 117 00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:06,039 Speaker 1: if some guy that you were thinking I'm gonna cut 118 00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:08,440 Speaker 1: him and then he flashes, You're like, wait a minute, 119 00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:10,279 Speaker 1: do I know what I'm talking about with this guy? 120 00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:12,440 Speaker 1: You know? Do I have a Tremon Williams on my 121 00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:15,000 Speaker 1: hand or something? Well, you know, and look, those things 122 00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:17,680 Speaker 1: happen in this league all the time. I mean, Case 123 00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:20,760 Speaker 1: Keenam is my favorite preseason game four story of all 124 00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:25,359 Speaker 1: time because he starts preseason Game four in twenty thirteen. Ye, 125 00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:27,799 Speaker 1: and you're not thinking too much of it. And the Texans, 126 00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:30,320 Speaker 1: I really felt that was That was one of my 127 00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:33,120 Speaker 1: best preseason memories, the Texans going up to Big D 128 00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:37,159 Speaker 1: at Jerry World, just man handling the Cowboys in that 129 00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:39,760 Speaker 1: fourth preseason season game, because I thought, this shows that 130 00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:42,640 Speaker 1: you are you are so equipped at all levels of 131 00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:44,600 Speaker 1: the depth chart. Now they went two and fourteen that year, 132 00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:47,760 Speaker 1: but all levels of the depth chart. Wait, who is 133 00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:50,839 Speaker 1: the kid from Notre Dame? The running backs? Er? See here? 134 00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:53,440 Speaker 1: He looked good in that game. He did look good. 135 00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:55,520 Speaker 1: He looked good. He heard for a lot of yards 136 00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:59,240 Speaker 1: in that game, and Keenam started anyway. And look, who 137 00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:01,039 Speaker 1: knows what would have happened with Sierra if he wasn't 138 00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:04,000 Speaker 1: part of the Kansas City three later that year. But Keenum, 139 00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:06,760 Speaker 1: we all know, the story is still playing in this league. 140 00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:11,560 Speaker 1: He's still operational in this league. And that says a 141 00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:14,000 Speaker 1: lot about him. And he was a Game four starter, 142 00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:16,560 Speaker 1: you know, which is quote the throwaway game, but it's 143 00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:18,320 Speaker 1: not so much. I always thought there were good stories, 144 00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:20,600 Speaker 1: and I think that's what tonight is. And no, we're 145 00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:22,080 Speaker 1: not gonna do it live on the radio, and no, 146 00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:26,080 Speaker 1: you will not see one speck of this scrimmage because 147 00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:29,440 Speaker 1: no Harris hits. There will be the Harris hits are 148 00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:32,240 Speaker 1: gonna be like it was good. Nope, that's folks, there 149 00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:35,080 Speaker 1: won't even there won't even be that. There won't even 150 00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:39,840 Speaker 1: be that. There will be here lies Harris he wrote 151 00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:45,160 Speaker 1: about the scrimmage. This won't happen. So don't don't expect it. 152 00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:47,720 Speaker 1: Don't expect it from a lot of people, because this is, 153 00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:50,280 Speaker 1: you know, not one that's going to be seen by 154 00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:53,120 Speaker 1: an awful lot of people. There might be a pool 155 00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:56,240 Speaker 1: reporter here, though, that's about us. I'm checking it out. 156 00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:57,920 Speaker 1: I don't know if they've been let in the building, 157 00:07:57,960 --> 00:08:00,560 Speaker 1: if there is one, but but we're certainly not going 158 00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:02,920 Speaker 1: to talk a lot about this. It's gonna be a 159 00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:05,280 Speaker 1: good practice for them tonight because it is a week 160 00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:08,520 Speaker 1: out and this is the last time. I don't think 161 00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:10,880 Speaker 1: it's the last time they'll be in pads before Kansas City. 162 00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:14,400 Speaker 1: But again with the all eighty crew here now, as 163 00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:16,960 Speaker 1: we talk about the practice squad, sixteen players, six of 164 00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:19,640 Speaker 1: those players can be veterans. Yes, I mean you can 165 00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:22,400 Speaker 1: have Frank Gore on a practice squad. You wouldn't do that. 166 00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:24,080 Speaker 1: But you could, all right, and I wrote about this 167 00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:26,680 Speaker 1: today in the Daily Brew on Houston Texas dot com. 168 00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:28,960 Speaker 1: You could. You could have you know, Shane Lechler on 169 00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:33,240 Speaker 1: your practice squad theoretically, but there are four players you 170 00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:36,559 Speaker 1: can protect. Now, one thing we're guilty of. We've been 171 00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:39,760 Speaker 1: talking about the four players protected quite a bit. However, 172 00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:43,280 Speaker 1: they are not protected for the season. They're protected for 173 00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:46,040 Speaker 1: the week, and not even the entire week. You have 174 00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:50,400 Speaker 1: to name your four for that week by Tuesday. Okay, Tuesday, 175 00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:54,600 Speaker 1: you name four protected players, so the clock resets every 176 00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:58,440 Speaker 1: single week. Yeah, and there's this void where they're unprotected 177 00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:00,960 Speaker 1: right where they're sort of angling out there for the 178 00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:04,760 Speaker 1: world to pluck from your practice squad. And the reason 179 00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:07,360 Speaker 1: is you get a guy hurt on Sunday at a 180 00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:11,000 Speaker 1: particular position, you can scan everybody's practice squad and say 181 00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:12,880 Speaker 1: I want that guy in sign up to your active roster. 182 00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:16,720 Speaker 1: So players will be unprotected for a window of time 183 00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:18,400 Speaker 1: at the beginning of the week, which makes a lot 184 00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:20,800 Speaker 1: of sense because that's how that's the spirit of the 185 00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:23,680 Speaker 1: practice squad really as far as the whole league is concerned. 186 00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:25,760 Speaker 1: And to your point, I remember you saying one of 187 00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:28,199 Speaker 1: the first few days, and I thought I was on point, 188 00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:30,120 Speaker 1: But it makes sense now when you think about it 189 00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:32,400 Speaker 1: that way. We kind of talked about it almost like 190 00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:36,120 Speaker 1: a fifty seven man roster, and really it's not. It's 191 00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:39,560 Speaker 1: a I mean, it's a true fifty three. It's a 192 00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:42,840 Speaker 1: true fifty three man roster. But then those four protected 193 00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:45,680 Speaker 1: I think are I mean, I think they're key to 194 00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:48,480 Speaker 1: have and and I like that that you just can't 195 00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:51,760 Speaker 1: pluck a guy because whole Hey wait a second, on Wednesday, 196 00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:54,360 Speaker 1: we had, you know, a couple of COVID tests or 197 00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:57,000 Speaker 1: we found out the MRI results of something, and we 198 00:09:57,040 --> 00:10:00,760 Speaker 1: need to go get somebody. Hey that I don't know, 199 00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:02,839 Speaker 1: that tight end for the Texans or that wide receiver 200 00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:04,400 Speaker 1: for the Texans out, let's go get Oh no, they 201 00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:08,760 Speaker 1: protected him. Well, okay, you're you know, you're you're safe 202 00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:10,320 Speaker 1: on that one. So it's gonna be really, it's gonna 203 00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:12,760 Speaker 1: be it's gonna be really intriguing to me to see 204 00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:18,640 Speaker 1: how Coach uses that four man, how he used it, 205 00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:21,000 Speaker 1: you know, who's active all that kind of I mean, 206 00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:25,640 Speaker 1: it's it's just gonna be a really interesting I'm intrigued 207 00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:28,000 Speaker 1: by that anyways. Yeah, but I think even more so 208 00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:31,200 Speaker 1: this year. Just the roster dynamics and I think the 209 00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:33,080 Speaker 1: one thing and I heard Kyle Shanahan say this, and 210 00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:35,480 Speaker 1: I like stood up and I started clapping, you know, 211 00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:37,200 Speaker 1: like the you know the monkey. You know you've seen 212 00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:39,880 Speaker 1: the little monkey that does the symbols. Yeah, I stead 213 00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:42,280 Speaker 1: of started clapping like that because Kyle Shannon was asked 214 00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:44,360 Speaker 1: a question about the fifty three, and we make a 215 00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:47,240 Speaker 1: big deal. I mean us sometimes we kind of know 216 00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:48,640 Speaker 1: the deal, but a lot of people talk about, oh, 217 00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:50,560 Speaker 1: the fifty three, the fifty three. I mean, we have 218 00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:53,920 Speaker 1: our own documentary series called the fifty three. Right, the 219 00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:58,080 Speaker 1: fifty three is a is a moving unit. It's a 220 00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:01,439 Speaker 1: mobile unit. It is not attic at any point. Nope, 221 00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:05,720 Speaker 1: it's only static for that particular day and time. You remember, 222 00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:09,000 Speaker 1: I think it was US, I can't remember, but the 223 00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:13,040 Speaker 1: fifty three is set. It's all set, and then two 224 00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:15,520 Speaker 1: days later you see a guy off the fifty three. 225 00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:17,760 Speaker 1: They're bringing somebody else in. But it's like it is 226 00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:22,920 Speaker 1: a mobile moving unit at all particular times. Yeah, it is. 227 00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:27,560 Speaker 1: It's always under construction. It's never a complete product, and 228 00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:31,320 Speaker 1: it's like it's like Houston Highways always under construction, yes, right, 229 00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:33,960 Speaker 1: they're never done. You're always asking like, when are they 230 00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:36,560 Speaker 1: going to get done with this project? This project they 231 00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:38,960 Speaker 1: have by the Loop or whatever. It'll never get done. 232 00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:42,719 Speaker 1: The projects never get They'll start somewhere else after they 233 00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:44,800 Speaker 1: finished this part, then they'll go back to this part. 234 00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:48,920 Speaker 1: I mean, I've lived here eighteen years and I swear 235 00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:53,400 Speaker 1: they fixed or improved or widened the same thing three 236 00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:56,480 Speaker 1: or four times on the Loop. So whatever, And those 237 00:11:56,559 --> 00:12:00,360 Speaker 1: ramps to fifty nine don't get me started on Houston traffic. Okay, 238 00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:04,000 Speaker 1: So the team is warming up right now, this being 239 00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:08,360 Speaker 1: the last big get together where you're gonna have look. 240 00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:12,120 Speaker 1: Practice is usually not competition as much as it is 241 00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:15,800 Speaker 1: getting your game plan ready against a scout team, right, 242 00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:17,719 Speaker 1: That's what it is. When you get into a game 243 00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:20,280 Speaker 1: week mode game. This is going to be more try 244 00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:23,040 Speaker 1: and stuff out, I think against the defense that is 245 00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:25,760 Speaker 1: out to stop it, right, scout team is a little 246 00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:27,600 Speaker 1: bit different. Yeah, they're out to stop you, but you're 247 00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:29,040 Speaker 1: not going to freak out if they don't get the 248 00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:31,160 Speaker 1: job done because you want to see if stuff works 249 00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:33,439 Speaker 1: and if you can quote fool this. And I always 250 00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:37,160 Speaker 1: talk about the offense when Schab and Rosenfelds were here, 251 00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:39,640 Speaker 1: and Rosenfelds would say early in the week, you'd try 252 00:12:39,679 --> 00:12:42,800 Speaker 1: to towards the defense could and then by the end 253 00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:46,000 Speaker 1: of the week you would throw a few picks. I 254 00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:49,080 Speaker 1: might be paraphrasing right there. The point is this, Johnny, 255 00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:52,760 Speaker 1: they've got some unanswered questions. And what are the unanswered 256 00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:55,960 Speaker 1: questions as we get into the final phase here of 257 00:12:56,040 --> 00:12:58,960 Speaker 1: the offseason and into game week for the Kansas City Chiefs, 258 00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:01,720 Speaker 1: which is one week from tomorrow night, do you have 259 00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:06,320 Speaker 1: an unanswered question you'd like to ask? Okay, yeah, are 260 00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:09,560 Speaker 1: we absolutely thousand percent convinced Eric Murray is the guy 261 00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:15,760 Speaker 1: next to Justin Reid? Not a thousand percent. I'm confident though, 262 00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:18,200 Speaker 1: and I think that you know, you know how it 263 00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:20,600 Speaker 1: is like, all right, let's take last year, right, it 264 00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:22,959 Speaker 1: was read and to Sean Gibson starting a lot of 265 00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:26,560 Speaker 1: games if you talk about bass, right, but i'd see 266 00:13:26,559 --> 00:13:28,640 Speaker 1: a die in there in the game where those two 267 00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:31,200 Speaker 1: would start. And he's making plays, right, he's making stops, 268 00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:34,120 Speaker 1: he's doing things. I mean, he's active. I'm calling his name. 269 00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:38,520 Speaker 1: So I think that as far as starting, But we 270 00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:41,080 Speaker 1: always talk about this, what a starting really mean, you 271 00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:45,280 Speaker 1: know how about this. You're starting defense is whatever it 272 00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:47,840 Speaker 1: is on first and ten, and by third and ten, 273 00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:51,079 Speaker 1: different guys check in. So if you're a pass rusher 274 00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:53,560 Speaker 1: on third and ten, how are you not a starter? 275 00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:55,400 Speaker 1: If you're always going to be in that third and 276 00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:58,200 Speaker 1: long package on defense, right, that's a starter to me 277 00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:01,920 Speaker 1: because that's a situation that calls for a starting performance 278 00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:04,840 Speaker 1: as a pass rusher. Okay, just because you're not on 279 00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:10,080 Speaker 1: the field on first half, this is a substitution situational game, right, 280 00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:13,480 Speaker 1: But in answer to your question, I would say I'm 281 00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:16,880 Speaker 1: pretty darn convinced. I would say there's room though for 282 00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:20,160 Speaker 1: people to rise up and make plays like it to die. 283 00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:23,240 Speaker 1: Last year, who I think played I don't have the 284 00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:25,760 Speaker 1: snaps in front of me, but he made starters type 285 00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:28,360 Speaker 1: of contributions, if you will, the way I just described it, 286 00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:31,360 Speaker 1: with the situational stuff. Yeah, I said it was an 287 00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:33,680 Speaker 1: unanswered question. I think to me, it's I don't want 288 00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:35,640 Speaker 1: to say it's a lock, but I think Eric has 289 00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:41,400 Speaker 1: played pretty Wellness camp now again, to me, one of 290 00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:45,120 Speaker 1: the biggest aspects, especially in this first game against Kansas 291 00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:48,720 Speaker 1: City and definitely in the second game against Baltimore is 292 00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:52,520 Speaker 1: how good that group tackles. This group and it sounds simple, 293 00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:56,520 Speaker 1: but this group better tackle because they're gonna face Clyde 294 00:14:56,560 --> 00:15:00,520 Speaker 1: Edwards Hilaire, who broke tackles at a May He's clip 295 00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:04,120 Speaker 1: at LSU last year. They have got Daryl Williams, who 296 00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:06,840 Speaker 1: is a guy we've seen very little. He caught that 297 00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:09,040 Speaker 1: screen pass against us in week six to kick off 298 00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:11,320 Speaker 1: the game, the one that Bill reviewed and it got 299 00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:15,240 Speaker 1: it got upheld. But that was Darryl Williams, two big, 300 00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:19,440 Speaker 1: hard charging backs. And this group better be able to tackle. 301 00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:22,480 Speaker 1: Then the next week you got Lamar, you got Dobbins, 302 00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:26,640 Speaker 1: You've got mark Ingram, you got Gus Edwards, and you 303 00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:28,560 Speaker 1: got a bunch of tight ends. They're gonna catch football. 304 00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:31,600 Speaker 1: Eric Murray is gonna get tested, and the whole defense 305 00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:34,520 Speaker 1: is gonna get tested from a standpoint of are you 306 00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:37,800 Speaker 1: going to make tackles? Because I think the one thing 307 00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:39,720 Speaker 1: I've seen with Eric that I feel very confident in 308 00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:43,960 Speaker 1: is his movement skills and his ability to cover and 309 00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:45,880 Speaker 1: to be in the right spot and his range when 310 00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:48,160 Speaker 1: he's in zone. I feel really good about that. For 311 00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:51,920 Speaker 1: Eric Murray. What I don't know yet and I'm not 312 00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:54,880 Speaker 1: totally sure how this will look, but what are the 313 00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:58,720 Speaker 1: tackling skills because this group is going to need all 314 00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:02,880 Speaker 1: eleven at the ball. When Clydeward Hilaire has it, when 315 00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:06,560 Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson has it, when JK. Dobbins has it, when 316 00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:08,640 Speaker 1: mark Ingram has it. You know, it's fun to talk. 317 00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:10,720 Speaker 1: I mean, it's as I start talking about, like, oh 318 00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:13,840 Speaker 1: my gosh, it's coming out, it's coming, We're gonna So 319 00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:16,520 Speaker 1: that would that would be that would be one of 320 00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:18,840 Speaker 1: my unanswered questions. All Right, you ready for another one? 321 00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:20,960 Speaker 1: I got to know for you go ahead. How many 322 00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:24,160 Speaker 1: tight ends make the team? That's a great question. How 323 00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:25,960 Speaker 1: many tight ends make the fifty three? Can I tell 324 00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:30,160 Speaker 1: you after the scrimmage? Because I do think, I do 325 00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:33,840 Speaker 1: think that this scrimmage could factor into that decision because 326 00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:36,880 Speaker 1: if you have you know, we've talked about Jordan Thomas 327 00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:39,960 Speaker 1: during camp, all Right, I can't imagine him not making 328 00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:42,640 Speaker 1: this team. He's got to be a protected player, right, 329 00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:44,920 Speaker 1: I can't imagine him not making the team based on 330 00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:46,200 Speaker 1: what he's done in camp and what he's done in 331 00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:51,280 Speaker 1: the past. Yeah, wearing supremely talented as an athlete and 332 00:16:51,560 --> 00:16:53,480 Speaker 1: looks good when he's out here. But you know what, 333 00:16:53,560 --> 00:16:55,800 Speaker 1: I don't know, and I'm not saying it's not there. 334 00:16:55,880 --> 00:16:57,840 Speaker 1: I don't know what goes on in the will lawing 335 00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:00,880 Speaker 1: tight end meeting room. You know, how are the assignments 336 00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:04,119 Speaker 1: being adhered to. I'm not sure what they're really think. 337 00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:07,639 Speaker 1: Maybe it's stellar. I don't know. These are the unanswered questions. 338 00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:10,160 Speaker 1: That's why they're unanswered. I'm not saying we can possibly 339 00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:14,160 Speaker 1: answer them all tonight. But I would say Johnny that 340 00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:17,760 Speaker 1: I'm looking at four. I'm looking at four tight ends 341 00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:21,399 Speaker 1: because I think Wearing can contribute enough on special teams 342 00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:23,720 Speaker 1: to justify having him on the fifty three. Maybe he 343 00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:26,960 Speaker 1: doesn't dress, And by the way, how many people dress 344 00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:29,600 Speaker 1: forty six, but you get forty seven forty eight if 345 00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:33,320 Speaker 1: you if you add the eighth linemen, which why wouldn't you? 346 00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:35,920 Speaker 1: I can dress forty eight. It doesn't change what they're 347 00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:38,320 Speaker 1: making as a paycheck, right if you're fifty three or 348 00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:40,360 Speaker 1: fifty three, if you're active, I guess it figures into 349 00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:42,639 Speaker 1: certain bonuses, right, Yeah, I would imagine it. But so 350 00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:44,960 Speaker 1: what you're gonna take that extra old lineman? You'd be 351 00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:47,200 Speaker 1: crazy not too, I would think, Yeah, I would think 352 00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:49,239 Speaker 1: that that's the case. How many times have we been 353 00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:51,600 Speaker 1: down to five linemen and you're one snap away from 354 00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:54,320 Speaker 1: all right, Darren Fells, get in there at tackle. I mean, 355 00:17:54,359 --> 00:17:56,760 Speaker 1: I mean that this group, but over the course of 356 00:17:56,800 --> 00:17:58,280 Speaker 1: time we've been doing that. I mean, how many times 357 00:17:58,359 --> 00:18:01,560 Speaker 1: if we during a break gone, hey, what happens if 358 00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:04,639 Speaker 1: this guy goes down and we've had this discussion? What 359 00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:07,240 Speaker 1: you know, what do we do? How do we do this? So, 360 00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:09,600 Speaker 1: I mean, I remember the Ravens game in twenty fourteen 361 00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:13,760 Speaker 1: when somebody went one of the guards went down, maybe 362 00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:15,560 Speaker 1: his brand and I can't remember, but one of the 363 00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:20,320 Speaker 1: guards went down, and um Derrek Newton had to jump 364 00:18:20,359 --> 00:18:22,320 Speaker 1: into guard and play the rest of the game at guard, 365 00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:24,639 Speaker 1: and it was like he was pretty good. He was 366 00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:26,080 Speaker 1: actually pretty good at guard, but he had to jump 367 00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:27,560 Speaker 1: into garden. He had to put another tackle in the 368 00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:29,720 Speaker 1: game and they ended up making him through the rest 369 00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:31,520 Speaker 1: of the game and played pretty well. But you know 370 00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:33,840 Speaker 1: that was I mean, there have been times they've had 371 00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:37,160 Speaker 1: seven linemen. I'm like, man, I don't know if I yeah, 372 00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:39,159 Speaker 1: I wish we had another guy. Well this year we do, 373 00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:41,920 Speaker 1: so I think that I think that's I think that's good. 374 00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:44,000 Speaker 1: I think you're right about the tight ends. I we 375 00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:47,080 Speaker 1: said last year, we said last year, I said last year, 376 00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:50,600 Speaker 1: I think they're keeping four because Fellas was really really impressive. 377 00:18:50,840 --> 00:18:52,760 Speaker 1: Ye Now you look a year ahead and you're like, well, 378 00:18:52,760 --> 00:18:57,800 Speaker 1: Fellas is definitely here. Yea Akens is a lock and 379 00:18:58,080 --> 00:19:00,920 Speaker 1: Thomas and Wearing have been pretty good at times. Thomas 380 00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:03,040 Speaker 1: has been really good all all training camp long. I'd 381 00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:04,840 Speaker 1: like to see job. I'd like to see Jordan Thomas 382 00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:07,600 Speaker 1: have a nice night tonight. To back to that point 383 00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:14,000 Speaker 1: about solidifying how this staff and this organization feels about him. 384 00:19:14,040 --> 00:19:16,159 Speaker 1: I would like to see him in there. And the 385 00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:17,960 Speaker 1: thing about it is you can say, well, you know 386 00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:20,400 Speaker 1: how many Titans are actually gonna use. Man, We've seen 387 00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:22,720 Speaker 1: this team put out there thirteen personnel. They did it 388 00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:24,920 Speaker 1: against the Patriots right down over here through at the 389 00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:27,680 Speaker 1: Fells for a touchdown, they'll use that thirteen personnel where 390 00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:30,359 Speaker 1: they got three tight ends on the field. And if 391 00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:32,120 Speaker 1: you're gonna put Wearing out there, heck, you can put 392 00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:33,840 Speaker 1: Wearing with a bunch of receivers and you still have 393 00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:37,160 Speaker 1: got a pretty mobile and fast unit. So from that perspective, 394 00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:40,359 Speaker 1: I think I think you're right, I think four are kept. 395 00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:43,480 Speaker 1: I don't know if all four then dress, but I 396 00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:45,360 Speaker 1: think all four are gonna be kept. Okay, I've got 397 00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:50,040 Speaker 1: one for you. Unanswered questions continuing. Are we convinced there 398 00:19:50,119 --> 00:19:54,359 Speaker 1: won't be another running back added to this mix somehow 399 00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:57,480 Speaker 1: after cuts and waivers and all the other stuff. Oh 400 00:19:57,560 --> 00:19:59,840 Speaker 1: you go on this weekend, people are driving going, let 401 00:19:59,840 --> 00:20:04,600 Speaker 1: it for it's available. I want Leonard for about as 402 00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:05,879 Speaker 1: much as I want a hole in my head. I 403 00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:07,720 Speaker 1: didn't bring it up for that reason. I mean, I'm 404 00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:10,480 Speaker 1: sure that's been discussed on Sports Radio six ten today. 405 00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:12,800 Speaker 1: But there's always gonna be a running back that gets 406 00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:17,520 Speaker 1: let that gets let go waived, and we invariably our 407 00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:21,080 Speaker 1: Twitter accounts kid bombarded with well you think you think 408 00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:22,760 Speaker 1: you probably can get him cheap. You know all those 409 00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:24,920 Speaker 1: times that people say, well you can get that guy cheap, 410 00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:28,600 Speaker 1: Well you use agent, You use agent. And I go 411 00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:33,320 Speaker 1: back to whenever running back gets brought up, I will 412 00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:37,480 Speaker 1: forevermore go back to Carlos Hide. You took Martinez Rankin, 413 00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:39,000 Speaker 1: who was not going to make this team, and you 414 00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:41,960 Speaker 1: traded him to Kansas City, and Carlos Hide was not 415 00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:44,440 Speaker 1: going to make that team, and you brought Carlos Hide 416 00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:46,400 Speaker 1: and he ran for over a thousand yards last year, 417 00:20:47,359 --> 00:20:50,399 Speaker 1: and so you can find a running back to do 418 00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:52,800 Speaker 1: good things. I think the two that you have in 419 00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:57,160 Speaker 1: Duke and David, they stay healthy. That's there's your two. 420 00:20:57,359 --> 00:21:00,560 Speaker 1: I'm fine with those. But Johnny is the I mean, 421 00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:03,239 Speaker 1: how do you feel about Higden having not seen him 422 00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:06,840 Speaker 1: against anybody, like if you had a preseason game and 423 00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:09,240 Speaker 1: maybe these scrimmages, But I don't think these scrimmages show 424 00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:11,359 Speaker 1: you much. I was reading something from Vic Fangio and 425 00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:13,440 Speaker 1: he was saying, you can't tell anything about the running 426 00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:16,040 Speaker 1: game this preseason. You know we're going against our own team. 427 00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:18,800 Speaker 1: You just can't do it. And I kind of agreed. 428 00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:20,560 Speaker 1: It's probably a lot of it is not just the 429 00:21:20,640 --> 00:21:23,120 Speaker 1: running back. It's the old line. It's the force with 430 00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:25,200 Speaker 1: which the defense can take down the ball carrier and 431 00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:27,040 Speaker 1: the rest of it. But you know as well as 432 00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:29,920 Speaker 1: I do in you know, in the program where it 433 00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:33,320 Speaker 1: says QB or RB or it might as will say 434 00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:36,560 Speaker 1: RB slash ST next to the third running special team, 435 00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:39,280 Speaker 1: you better be able to play special teams. And that's 436 00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:41,520 Speaker 1: where Buddy has a huge leg up. Buddy, how's a 437 00:21:41,560 --> 00:21:44,240 Speaker 1: huge leg up on anybody, ye, because if you're gonna 438 00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:46,600 Speaker 1: be the third running back, and so you know, somebody 439 00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:48,840 Speaker 1: brought up I think I brought up the twenty seventeen 440 00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:52,680 Speaker 1: Eagles because the Eagles that Jji, Garrett Blunt and Corey 441 00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:55,840 Speaker 1: Corey Clinton was the third back right right, Corey Clinton 442 00:21:55,920 --> 00:21:59,920 Speaker 1: was also running down to special teams. So from that perspective, 443 00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:03,680 Speaker 1: your third running back has got to contribute heavily on 444 00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:07,200 Speaker 1: special teams. Whether he's a Core four guy or he's 445 00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:11,160 Speaker 1: on at least the kickoff kickoff returning kickoff coverage, you've 446 00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:12,960 Speaker 1: got to be on special teams. And I think that's 447 00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:15,240 Speaker 1: where Buddy has an advantage. He's got two years of 448 00:22:15,359 --> 00:22:19,280 Speaker 1: NFL experience on special teams. Now, at some point, if 449 00:22:19,359 --> 00:22:22,040 Speaker 1: Kron is that much better than him as a running back, 450 00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:24,439 Speaker 1: you just kind of bite the bullet and go. But 451 00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:27,679 Speaker 1: here's here's the other problem. And then here's what complicates 452 00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:33,600 Speaker 1: it even more. Gilly hasn't been healthy, right, So you 453 00:22:33,600 --> 00:22:38,240 Speaker 1: could maybe go with Gilly and with Higden because then 454 00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:40,879 Speaker 1: Gilly would pick up the special team's reps maybe that 455 00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:43,919 Speaker 1: Buddy would get. But also with Gilly you could do 456 00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:46,520 Speaker 1: some offensive stuff with Gilly too, because he's got four 457 00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:48,240 Speaker 1: or five speed, really good hands, and is a better 458 00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:50,920 Speaker 1: athlete than people think. But just because he's a fullback, 459 00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:53,879 Speaker 1: everybody's like, oh, he's a big No, he's not Patrick 460 00:22:53,960 --> 00:22:57,440 Speaker 1: Rishard from from the Ravens. He's like three hundred pounds 461 00:22:57,440 --> 00:22:59,720 Speaker 1: and just pounds on people. Gilly can do some stuff. 462 00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:04,320 Speaker 1: So that I think complicated even more because you're already 463 00:23:04,520 --> 00:23:06,920 Speaker 1: losing out on Gillies effect on special teams if he's 464 00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:09,240 Speaker 1: not ready to go to start the season, and then 465 00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:12,480 Speaker 1: you're gonna go with Haigden, who has never played special 466 00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:16,880 Speaker 1: teams before. I that that worries me. Mark. That worries 467 00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:21,120 Speaker 1: me because when I think about having three backs, the 468 00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:24,160 Speaker 1: only place in this is something to consider. The only 469 00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:29,560 Speaker 1: place where I've seen three backs together really do something 470 00:23:29,560 --> 00:23:32,280 Speaker 1: on special teams is New England when they had Burkhead, 471 00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:37,040 Speaker 1: Sony Michelle, and James White. Those three contributed. But I 472 00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:39,080 Speaker 1: don't I don't know if that's happening here. I don't 473 00:23:39,119 --> 00:23:40,879 Speaker 1: know if that's I don't know if that luxury is 474 00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:44,000 Speaker 1: afforded to you. Because the Patriots also had Matt Slater 475 00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:46,520 Speaker 1: and Ebner that run down special teams. That's all they 476 00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:48,879 Speaker 1: did well, and I would argue, what was the trio? 477 00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:53,639 Speaker 1: It was Michelle White. White is really Birkhead and Birkhead 478 00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:56,560 Speaker 1: is Birkhead. But you know, I'd argue that a healthy 479 00:23:56,640 --> 00:24:01,080 Speaker 1: David Johnson is preferable back over or any of those guys. 480 00:24:01,119 --> 00:24:03,280 Speaker 1: There's as good as White can be as a receiver 481 00:24:03,359 --> 00:24:06,240 Speaker 1: and contributor. I'm with you. I mean, David Johnson could 482 00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:09,760 Speaker 1: be really something here, but I'm gonna obviously keep them healthy. 483 00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:11,359 Speaker 1: Don't get me wrong, I am right there with you. 484 00:24:11,440 --> 00:24:13,159 Speaker 1: David's better than all of I'm just saying, if you 485 00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:15,679 Speaker 1: do it in you know, a trio or combination, yep. 486 00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:17,560 Speaker 1: I think they had to do it as a trio 487 00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:20,560 Speaker 1: because they saw different traits in those three that they 488 00:24:20,560 --> 00:24:22,439 Speaker 1: were looking for. I think you've got all those traits 489 00:24:22,440 --> 00:24:25,240 Speaker 1: in the first two.

And they got their rings last night. Johnny. 598 00:30:42,040 --> 00:30:44,920 Speaker 1: We saw the rings and they had the scores of 599 00:30:44,960 --> 00:30:46,920 Speaker 1: the playoff games on them, and it was just not 600 00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:49,360 Speaker 1: a very pleasant sight for anybody else other than a 601 00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:52,680 Speaker 1: Chiefs fan. And they also had one other thing runderneath 602 00:30:52,680 --> 00:30:55,360 Speaker 1: the score that had two little brack packets and in 603 00:30:55,440 --> 00:30:59,440 Speaker 1: between the brackets that a number. That number. Underneath the 604 00:30:59,520 --> 00:31:03,200 Speaker 1: Texans holme it was twenty four oh deficit, underneath the 605 00:31:03,320 --> 00:31:07,000 Speaker 1: Titans it was ten, and underneath the forty nine there 606 00:31:07,080 --> 00:31:09,520 Speaker 1: was fourteen I think. And those are the deficits they 607 00:31:09,600 --> 00:31:12,480 Speaker 1: came from behind in each one of those games. That's crazy. 608 00:31:12,640 --> 00:31:15,040 Speaker 1: I mean, the Super Bowl was all but wrapped up. 609 00:31:15,320 --> 00:31:22,000 Speaker 1: That's the thing. Twenty four nothing in the first half. Look, 610 00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:24,880 Speaker 1: there's no there's no way to you know, say this 611 00:31:24,960 --> 00:31:28,440 Speaker 1: was any better than it was, because it wasn't. But 612 00:31:28,920 --> 00:31:31,000 Speaker 1: is it more I mean, obviously it's more heartbreaking to'll 613 00:31:31,040 --> 00:31:33,240 Speaker 1: lose a Super Bowl the way they did than to 614 00:31:33,320 --> 00:31:35,880 Speaker 1: lose a playoff game the way the Texans did. But 615 00:31:35,920 --> 00:31:38,280 Speaker 1: I don't even want to talk about heartbreaking comparisons and 616 00:31:38,360 --> 00:31:44,800 Speaker 1: things like that. We are doing unanswered questions and the 617 00:31:44,840 --> 00:31:49,600 Speaker 1: team will cut down to fifty three man roster by 618 00:31:49,640 --> 00:31:51,760 Speaker 1: the weekend. Now they can do it a little sooner 619 00:31:51,800 --> 00:31:55,000 Speaker 1: if they, like anybody could, and I got a feeling 620 00:31:55,600 --> 00:31:57,880 Speaker 1: they kind of will. I don't know if the names 621 00:31:57,880 --> 00:31:59,880 Speaker 1: will get out.

You would 627 00:32:16,880 --> 00:32:20,560 Speaker 1: probably give your players Saturday and Sunday off. I mean 628 00:32:20,560 --> 00:32:23,560 Speaker 1: you just would, right, and then Monday would be back 629 00:32:23,600 --> 00:32:27,360 Speaker 1: on and then regular Tuesday off for a typical game 630 00:32:27,360 --> 00:32:31,040 Speaker 1: week for the Texans. That's not the case. Thursday's a 631 00:32:31,240 --> 00:32:35,320 Speaker 1: game So you've got a short week happening here. That 632 00:32:35,360 --> 00:32:37,240 Speaker 1: means and I'm not going to get into like Thursdays 633 00:32:37,280 --> 00:32:39,800 Speaker 1: a Sunday and that kind of thing. But they'll leave 634 00:32:39,800 --> 00:32:43,920 Speaker 1: on Wednesday for the Kansas City Chiefs on Tuesday. That's 635 00:32:43,920 --> 00:32:46,400 Speaker 1: a regular game week.

Sunday is 638 00:32:53,640 --> 00:32:59,080 Speaker 1: a regular Wednesday game week practice. I think I think 639 00:32:59,080 --> 00:33:02,160 Speaker 1: they'll start. I mean they already. They released three players 640 00:33:02,240 --> 00:33:06,000 Speaker 1: during the week, right Alex mcgoy, quarterback, defensive lineman Albert Huggins, 641 00:33:06,440 --> 00:33:09,680 Speaker 1: and linebacker special team or Darren Bates. They released them 642 00:33:09,760 --> 00:33:13,680 Speaker 1: during the week, um and I don't know if there 643 00:33:13,760 --> 00:33:16,360 Speaker 1: was I don't know why it was those three early on, 644 00:33:16,400 --> 00:33:19,800 Speaker 1: but they just said, Okay, this decision we're making going 645 00:33:20,200 --> 00:33:24,280 Speaker 1: I wouldn't be I wouldn't be surprised if tomorrow morning 646 00:33:25,920 --> 00:33:31,320 Speaker 1: they make they make the preliminary fifty three decisions already, 647 00:33:31,400 --> 00:33:34,040 Speaker 1: and they might get to a point where they're stuck 648 00:33:34,040 --> 00:33:37,680 Speaker 1: on a couple of guys and they just maybe they'll practice. 649 00:33:38,520 --> 00:33:41,880 Speaker 1: They they'll practice Thursday, Friday, and then make a decision 650 00:33:41,960 --> 00:33:45,200 Speaker 1: by I think it's Sunday three o'clock, Saturday, three o'clock. 651 00:33:45,200 --> 00:33:50,560 Speaker 1: I mean that it's got to be setting pencil if 652 00:33:50,600 --> 00:33:53,120 Speaker 1: you will at that point, but you do, you have to, 653 00:33:53,240 --> 00:33:55,160 Speaker 1: you have to start getting into in the game week 654 00:33:55,200 --> 00:33:59,120 Speaker 1: mode now, So I would I would imagine that's why 655 00:33:59,200 --> 00:34:02,160 Speaker 1: they started with the three and then they'll they'll move 656 00:34:02,200 --> 00:34:05,760 Speaker 1: forward with I don't know if we'll start hearing about 657 00:34:05,800 --> 00:34:09,879 Speaker 1: the cuts tomorrow. But if you were up to me 658 00:34:10,239 --> 00:34:14,160 Speaker 1: and I getting ready for the Chiefs and tomorrow makes 659 00:34:14,160 --> 00:34:17,320 Speaker 1: a full week tomorrow, I would start. I would start. 660 00:34:18,520 --> 00:34:20,759 Speaker 1: I would start making the cuts, if not make all 661 00:34:20,800 --> 00:34:22,080 Speaker 1: of them. And if I was stuck on a couple 662 00:34:22,120 --> 00:34:24,080 Speaker 1: of guys, that maybe give them another couple days and say, guys, 663 00:34:24,120 --> 00:34:26,879 Speaker 1: I'm gonna make a decision to two y'all. Yeah, Bill 664 00:34:26,920 --> 00:34:28,759 Speaker 1: O'Brien's gonna be asked about that tonight. He's got an 665 00:34:28,760 --> 00:34:31,879 Speaker 1: availability and that's gonna be live on Houston Texans dot 666 00:34:31,880 --> 00:34:34,880 Speaker 1: com and all the social media platforms. So you should 667 00:34:34,920 --> 00:34:37,680 Speaker 1: have the app on your phone the Texans app, go 668 00:34:37,719 --> 00:34:39,520 Speaker 1: ahead and download it because it's gonna be awesome. By 669 00:34:39,520 --> 00:34:41,360 Speaker 1: the way, I know that we have no fans and 670 00:34:41,440 --> 00:34:44,520 Speaker 1: attendance here for the home Open or September twentieth against 671 00:34:44,560 --> 00:34:47,160 Speaker 1: the Ravens, but a lot of different kinds of things 672 00:34:47,160 --> 00:34:49,239 Speaker 1: happening to try to get the game experience to you 673 00:34:49,360 --> 00:34:51,840 Speaker 1: in different ways. Watch the game on TV, listen on 674 00:34:51,840 --> 00:34:53,960 Speaker 1: the radio, check out the app, or sort of a 675 00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:56,799 Speaker 1: second screen experience if you will, with games and other 676 00:34:56,920 --> 00:34:59,480 Speaker 1: stuff that you might see here at the stadium. If 677 00:34:59,480 --> 00:35:01,000 Speaker 1: we did have fans, and I know it's kind of 678 00:35:01,040 --> 00:35:03,360 Speaker 1: sad that way, but at least we have football, and 679 00:35:03,840 --> 00:35:06,920 Speaker 1: that's a big thing to be able to have these games. 680 00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:09,320 Speaker 1: My goodness. And by the way, I hope the Rockets 681 00:35:09,320 --> 00:35:14,120 Speaker 1: continue playing past tonight. I mean, whoa, whoa, I'm looking 682 00:35:14,160 --> 00:35:16,920 Speaker 1: forward to seeing that one and who not what the 683 00:35:17,160 --> 00:35:20,600 Speaker 1: carnage of that? No, no, no, nobody wants that in town. 684 00:35:20,680 --> 00:35:23,840 Speaker 1: No no, go Rockets. We want to support them and 685 00:35:23,880 --> 00:35:27,200 Speaker 1: hope they continue to go in this bubble that is 686 00:35:27,239 --> 00:35:29,800 Speaker 1: the NBA. Because I really enjoyed last night's U taught 687 00:35:29,800 --> 00:35:33,239 Speaker 1: Denver game Man. Just as an objective spectator, of course, 688 00:35:33,280 --> 00:35:36,200 Speaker 1: we hate Utah and Houston. It's like a dreaded can 689 00:35:36,239 --> 00:35:38,319 Speaker 1: I say this like the cults to some people who 690 00:35:38,360 --> 00:35:43,200 Speaker 1: are Rockets fans. I watched more of that series then 691 00:35:43,239 --> 00:35:45,160 Speaker 1: I watched I think of any of the NBA series. 692 00:35:45,800 --> 00:35:49,560 Speaker 1: I was so utterly entertained by Jamal Murray v. Spider Mitchell. 693 00:35:49,600 --> 00:35:54,480 Speaker 1: It was unbelievable. Yeah, the whole series was like, the 694 00:35:54,480 --> 00:35:57,719 Speaker 1: whole series was phenomen It was low scoring Game seven, Yeah, 695 00:35:57,719 --> 00:36:00,239 Speaker 1: it was kind of like a nineties Game seven, but 696 00:36:00,760 --> 00:36:03,480 Speaker 1: grind him up possession. But the last few seconds, even 697 00:36:03,520 --> 00:36:06,440 Speaker 1: though it was turnover, miss lay up, miss shot, it 698 00:36:06,520 --> 00:36:09,480 Speaker 1: was really exciting. Nonetheless, But let's go here with another 699 00:36:09,680 --> 00:36:13,160 Speaker 1: unanswered question, Johnny, and I want to ask you. I 700 00:36:13,520 --> 00:36:17,960 Speaker 1: think that the pass rush, how will they divide up 701 00:36:18,040 --> 00:36:20,520 Speaker 1: playing time? You know, you have to get Jacob Martin 702 00:36:20,600 --> 00:36:23,080 Speaker 1: on the field because he's pretty good rushing the passer. 703 00:36:23,280 --> 00:36:25,319 Speaker 1: So who you take it off? And a man who's 704 00:36:25,360 --> 00:36:28,000 Speaker 1: in there to rush the passer too? And I'm I'm 705 00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:30,840 Speaker 1: assuming what's healthy? You know, we we've read the reports 706 00:36:30,880 --> 00:36:32,719 Speaker 1: that you know, no one's saying what it is, but 707 00:36:33,080 --> 00:36:35,680 Speaker 1: or if it's just like what ramping up, Yeah, he's 708 00:36:35,800 --> 00:36:39,520 Speaker 1: probably pretty darn healthy tweeted out a picture to picture 709 00:36:39,520 --> 00:36:42,440 Speaker 1: today flex in the problem of his life three locks, 710 00:36:42,800 --> 00:36:46,239 Speaker 1: and it was just like, he looks pretty good. Yeah 711 00:36:46,280 --> 00:36:48,279 Speaker 1: as far as that goes. But I'm gonna photo shot 712 00:36:48,320 --> 00:36:50,560 Speaker 1: my head onto that picture. Okay, well I'm gonna here's 713 00:36:50,600 --> 00:36:53,520 Speaker 1: my answer to that. And it's funny because today we 714 00:36:53,080 --> 00:36:55,600 Speaker 1: need we needed to do another tail straighter for KPRC, 715 00:36:55,800 --> 00:36:59,360 Speaker 1: and so it's kind of funny because we wanted to 716 00:36:59,400 --> 00:37:02,520 Speaker 1: do it over the weekend. Yeah, And I looked at 717 00:37:02,560 --> 00:37:04,360 Speaker 1: the plays that I had. All the plays that I 718 00:37:04,480 --> 00:37:08,840 Speaker 1: had were either from from last year's games obviously we 719 00:37:08,840 --> 00:37:12,120 Speaker 1: didn't do one after the playoff game, were either players 720 00:37:12,120 --> 00:37:15,239 Speaker 1: we didn't have anymore, or for the Chiefs, it was 721 00:37:15,320 --> 00:37:18,680 Speaker 1: Damian Williams who opted out. So I'm like, oh my god, 722 00:37:18,680 --> 00:37:20,759 Speaker 1: what I do that. I found one play and it 723 00:37:20,800 --> 00:37:23,480 Speaker 1: was the sack that a man who had that got 724 00:37:23,480 --> 00:37:25,160 Speaker 1: the ball back to Texans and let them score to 725 00:37:25,239 --> 00:37:28,520 Speaker 1: go up twenty four seventeen. He's at twenty three seventeen 726 00:37:28,520 --> 00:37:31,200 Speaker 1: a half and I'm watching. As I'm watching that, I 727 00:37:31,320 --> 00:37:35,120 Speaker 1: realize there it is, there's your four and it was 728 00:37:35,400 --> 00:37:37,680 Speaker 1: it was for it was first down, I think, so 729 00:37:37,719 --> 00:37:39,480 Speaker 1: they were definitely in passing mode, but we were I 730 00:37:39,480 --> 00:37:43,040 Speaker 1: think we were in dime and from left to right, 731 00:37:44,080 --> 00:37:50,799 Speaker 1: Jacob outside, right, Jacob, Martin Watt inside, Omna who merciless. 732 00:37:52,840 --> 00:37:57,239 Speaker 1: Now isn't that the four you want rushing as much 733 00:37:57,239 --> 00:38:01,839 Speaker 1: as humanly possible? Yeah? I think right now? Yeah, absolutely, 734 00:38:02,400 --> 00:38:06,239 Speaker 1: And I've said this before. I think JJ is a 735 00:38:06,440 --> 00:38:11,839 Speaker 1: very intriguing chess piece because of how he rushes up 736 00:38:11,880 --> 00:38:15,120 Speaker 1: and down the line, and so he can start outside 737 00:38:15,120 --> 00:38:17,719 Speaker 1: and then loop back inside. He can start inside and 738 00:38:17,840 --> 00:38:22,239 Speaker 1: stay inside, and there's and sometimes inside you know, he'll 739 00:38:22,239 --> 00:38:26,440 Speaker 1: obviously draw the double. But on that particular sack because 740 00:38:27,440 --> 00:38:30,000 Speaker 1: he was he was working a stunt with Jacob. Jacob 741 00:38:30,040 --> 00:38:32,480 Speaker 1: was coming inside and what was going outside, and the 742 00:38:32,520 --> 00:38:35,120 Speaker 1: way that the chiefs had you know there, it was 743 00:38:35,280 --> 00:38:39,040 Speaker 1: basically play action protection. They pulled the guard. Had they 744 00:38:39,120 --> 00:38:41,000 Speaker 1: not pulled the guard, JJ would have been there just 745 00:38:41,040 --> 00:38:43,600 Speaker 1: as quick as anybody. He would have beaten Schwartz inside 746 00:38:43,640 --> 00:38:45,759 Speaker 1: because Schwartz would have, you know, gone with Martin. They 747 00:38:45,760 --> 00:38:47,600 Speaker 1: would have gotten there with the stunt. But I think 748 00:38:47,640 --> 00:38:51,880 Speaker 1: about those four guys, those are the four I want rushing, 749 00:38:52,040 --> 00:38:55,000 Speaker 1: and then behind them, I want Ross Blacklock to be 750 00:38:55,080 --> 00:38:58,520 Speaker 1: part of that. I think he's probably your next best guy. 751 00:38:59,120 --> 00:39:00,799 Speaker 1: And I think John an Art would have been in 752 00:39:00,800 --> 00:39:03,879 Speaker 1: that mix too, but obviously he's banged up. So now 753 00:39:03,920 --> 00:39:06,799 Speaker 1: you've got to figure out, Okay, who who ends up 754 00:39:06,840 --> 00:39:09,959 Speaker 1: being my next guy that can go in there? Because 755 00:39:10,000 --> 00:39:16,160 Speaker 1: I could see that same line with you could go merciless, 756 00:39:17,640 --> 00:39:23,840 Speaker 1: what Blacklock Martin or or even or you know, Brent Scarlett, 757 00:39:23,840 --> 00:39:26,600 Speaker 1: you know, somebody of that magnitude. You could also put 758 00:39:26,760 --> 00:39:28,360 Speaker 1: but Ardrick McKinney out there. I mean, I know it 759 00:39:28,360 --> 00:39:31,239 Speaker 1: sounds kind of weird, like wait a second, b Mac 760 00:39:31,280 --> 00:39:33,880 Speaker 1: goes out and rushes every now and again. He rushes 761 00:39:33,920 --> 00:39:36,000 Speaker 1: from the outside, kind of like Dante high Tower does, 762 00:39:36,320 --> 00:39:38,799 Speaker 1: and he always wants good working those stunts with the 763 00:39:38,840 --> 00:39:41,719 Speaker 1: guys inside, So he's there. I think they've got with 764 00:39:41,760 --> 00:39:44,520 Speaker 1: those guys healthy. Those are five guys that I feel 765 00:39:44,640 --> 00:39:46,560 Speaker 1: good about what they can do in the pass rush, 766 00:39:46,640 --> 00:39:51,359 Speaker 1: including Blacklock. Those are the five I feel really really good. 767 00:39:51,440 --> 00:39:54,600 Speaker 1: But they really haven't seen Blacklock other than against their 768 00:39:54,640 --> 00:39:57,040 Speaker 1: own guys, and you know, maybe he's shown some things, 769 00:39:57,040 --> 00:39:59,160 Speaker 1: but boy, you'd love to have a preseason game or 770 00:39:59,200 --> 00:40:01,040 Speaker 1: two just to get a flash, you know, just to 771 00:40:01,080 --> 00:40:03,319 Speaker 1: get something, yeah, taste, there's gonna be a lot of 772 00:40:03,360 --> 00:40:05,640 Speaker 1: hunch playing. I think Black Lives gonna be good here 773 00:40:06,560 --> 00:40:09,080 Speaker 1: into this situation. I'm playing hunch Hey, yeah, I'm saying that. 774 00:40:09,200 --> 00:40:12,279 Speaker 1: But but you've watched it. You've watched this team long enough, 775 00:40:12,320 --> 00:40:14,319 Speaker 1: you watch games long enough. You know when you see 776 00:40:14,320 --> 00:40:16,239 Speaker 1: a dude out on the field, Yeah, you've seen a 777 00:40:16,239 --> 00:40:18,000 Speaker 1: lot of that. It's a dude. He's a dude. It's 778 00:40:18,000 --> 00:40:21,400 Speaker 1: just a matter of getting getting his NFL sea legs 779 00:40:21,440 --> 00:40:24,600 Speaker 1: under him. And I do think that Anthony Weaver is 780 00:40:24,680 --> 00:40:28,360 Speaker 1: gonna make sure those guys are rotating inside. But you 781 00:40:28,360 --> 00:40:30,040 Speaker 1: know what, the Chiefs, if they catch you in a 782 00:40:30,080 --> 00:40:33,560 Speaker 1: look that they like, they're gonna just they're gonna get 783 00:40:33,600 --> 00:40:36,120 Speaker 1: in it up tempo and they're gonna just keep grinding 784 00:40:36,120 --> 00:40:38,080 Speaker 1: that to you. So you've got to be able to 785 00:40:38,080 --> 00:40:40,520 Speaker 1: stop them on first down and no questions asked. And 786 00:40:40,560 --> 00:40:42,759 Speaker 1: I know that's easier said than done, but man, you 787 00:40:42,800 --> 00:40:45,520 Speaker 1: cannot allow them to get in some up tempo look 788 00:40:45,840 --> 00:40:48,040 Speaker 1: and catch your big guys out on the field when 789 00:40:48,040 --> 00:40:50,080 Speaker 1: you know full well that they're gonna try and spread 790 00:40:50,120 --> 00:40:52,640 Speaker 1: you and throw it. I'm feeling the tension already, I 791 00:40:52,760 --> 00:40:56,160 Speaker 1: really it's a week from tomorrow. I'm feeling it, Shotty. 792 00:40:56,280 --> 00:41:00,000 Speaker 1: We're gonna be in that building and it's gonna be like, Okay, 793 00:41:00,400 --> 00:41:02,680 Speaker 1: art down, let's go.

I'll give you the next best rusher. 795 00:41:05,640 --> 00:41:07,719 Speaker 1: Oh wait, do it after the break.

No hirotechnics involved though tonight, 897 00:47:11,560 --> 00:47:14,120 Speaker 1: but it is kind of a game day feel. As 898 00:47:14,160 --> 00:47:16,279 Speaker 1: they warmed up just the way they would for a game. 899 00:47:16,360 --> 00:47:19,560 Speaker 1: Johnny went into the tunnel into the locker room, just 900 00:47:19,640 --> 00:47:21,719 Speaker 1: the way they would for a game, about twenty minutes 901 00:47:21,800 --> 00:47:24,640 Speaker 1: or so, twenty five before kickoff time or before time 902 00:47:24,680 --> 00:47:27,080 Speaker 1: to come back out of the tunnel. And here they are. 903 00:47:27,840 --> 00:47:30,799 Speaker 1: And again they did this last week. You want to 904 00:47:30,840 --> 00:47:33,720 Speaker 1: get into the flow, into the field so it doesn't 905 00:47:33,760 --> 00:47:36,080 Speaker 1: feel so foreign to you the first time you do it. 906 00:47:36,160 --> 00:47:38,160 Speaker 1: Now next week, I have no idea what's going to 907 00:47:38,200 --> 00:47:41,520 Speaker 1: go on in Kansas City as far as pregame ritual ceremony. 908 00:47:41,600 --> 00:47:44,799 Speaker 1: They got the rings last night, so they already have those. Yeah, 909 00:47:44,800 --> 00:47:47,640 Speaker 1: but they'll do something to celebrate the Super Bowl. I 910 00:47:47,719 --> 00:47:50,400 Speaker 1: have no idea about social justice. What the players have 911 00:47:50,520 --> 00:47:53,239 Speaker 1: up their sleeves for that. I mean, I'm making it 912 00:47:53,320 --> 00:47:55,600 Speaker 1: sound kind of like, you know, a secret plan, but 913 00:47:55,640 --> 00:47:59,360 Speaker 1: if they have anything planned for that, I would imagine 914 00:47:59,360 --> 00:48:01,760 Speaker 1: there would be something, you know what. Um. It reminded 915 00:48:01,800 --> 00:48:04,680 Speaker 1: me of though, just thinking about this very subject. Remember 916 00:48:05,239 --> 00:48:09,200 Speaker 1: in the twenty ten season, the players, I don't know 917 00:48:09,200 --> 00:48:12,520 Speaker 1: if they did it every game, but before at least 918 00:48:12,560 --> 00:48:16,439 Speaker 1: the opener, the players all came off the sideline each 919 00:48:16,440 --> 00:48:18,640 Speaker 1: team and met in the middle and shook hands in 920 00:48:18,719 --> 00:48:21,680 Speaker 1: solidarity because that was a contract year for the CBA, 921 00:48:22,000 --> 00:48:23,960 Speaker 1: and then they went back and then you did your business. 922 00:48:23,960 --> 00:48:26,319 Speaker 1: I think that might have only been opening day. I 923 00:48:26,320 --> 00:48:28,320 Speaker 1: think they did that throughout the year. They did Okay, 924 00:48:28,400 --> 00:48:30,440 Speaker 1: I just trying to remember that, but pretty sure they 925 00:48:30,440 --> 00:48:32,320 Speaker 1: did it throughout the year. But that kind of thing 926 00:48:32,440 --> 00:48:36,239 Speaker 1: I thought was was pretty cool for them and uh 927 00:48:36,239 --> 00:48:38,960 Speaker 1: and showing that that they met business with the union 928 00:48:39,040 --> 00:48:42,319 Speaker 1: deal and obviously they got a deal done before the 929 00:48:42,320 --> 00:48:44,839 Speaker 1: start of the twenty eleventh season. We sweated it out 930 00:48:44,840 --> 00:48:47,560 Speaker 1: a little bit during that season, but it was Okay, 931 00:48:48,080 --> 00:48:51,640 Speaker 1: you were going to bring up something and it was 932 00:48:51,719 --> 00:48:57,400 Speaker 1: about tell me, tell me see, oh the pass rush thing. 933 00:48:58,120 --> 00:49:01,000 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, Okay, yeah, I'm gonna tell you 934 00:49:01,040 --> 00:49:04,200 Speaker 1: who the sixth best rusher is gonna be. Okay, but 935 00:49:04,320 --> 00:49:06,960 Speaker 1: you have to ask me what position group is he from. 936 00:49:07,160 --> 00:49:08,799 Speaker 1: I know what you're gonna say. He's gonna come from 937 00:49:08,840 --> 00:49:13,040 Speaker 1: the defensive backfield to tell you who it is, because 938 00:49:13,040 --> 00:49:15,360 Speaker 1: it might be a different guy a lot of different times. 939 00:49:15,400 --> 00:49:19,000 Speaker 1: But I think that's where your next best rusher comes from. 940 00:49:19,080 --> 00:49:22,040 Speaker 1: I think the guys that I have seen that have 941 00:49:22,280 --> 00:49:28,040 Speaker 1: blitzed and done those things, they have really you can 942 00:49:28,080 --> 00:49:32,040 Speaker 1: tell they've really worked on it. Yeah, really timed things 943 00:49:32,160 --> 00:49:34,840 Speaker 1: up the way that they I mean, there's such and 944 00:49:35,040 --> 00:49:36,799 Speaker 1: it was funny. I was talking to Jack Esterby and 945 00:49:37,520 --> 00:49:39,359 Speaker 1: we were talking about that and he brought the name 946 00:49:39,440 --> 00:49:42,319 Speaker 1: Logan Ryan and I just see that twenty eighteen game 947 00:49:42,360 --> 00:49:45,719 Speaker 1: in my nightmares where Logan Ryan is timing up the 948 00:49:45,800 --> 00:49:48,880 Speaker 1: blitz and he's just split in the B gap and 949 00:49:48,960 --> 00:49:51,560 Speaker 1: our gardens, our garden tackle are fanning out to take 950 00:49:51,640 --> 00:49:53,960 Speaker 1: two guys and he just comes clean and nobody can 951 00:49:53,960 --> 00:49:55,759 Speaker 1: pick him up. And it was all because Logan Ryan 952 00:49:55,840 --> 00:49:59,240 Speaker 1: just hit it perfectly, and it was like, that's man. 953 00:49:59,440 --> 00:50:02,000 Speaker 1: When he said Logan Ryan, I was like, boy, I 954 00:50:02,040 --> 00:50:05,000 Speaker 1: didn't really want Logan Ryan, but I wanted the attribute, 955 00:50:05,120 --> 00:50:08,640 Speaker 1: especially of blitzing like Logan Ryan. And I think I 956 00:50:08,719 --> 00:50:10,759 Speaker 1: think that's where your next best rusher is going to 957 00:50:10,800 --> 00:50:13,040 Speaker 1: come from. Yeah, you mix, you mix that in every 958 00:50:13,080 --> 00:50:15,520 Speaker 1: once in a while. That's pretty effective because it keeps 959 00:50:15,560 --> 00:50:18,839 Speaker 1: the offense way off balance. Okay, what you remember when 960 00:50:18,920 --> 00:50:22,440 Speaker 1: Johnny it's year seven for you, Yes, and Andre and 961 00:50:22,480 --> 00:50:25,560 Speaker 1: I starting year nineteen together next week. But year seven 962 00:50:25,680 --> 00:50:28,040 Speaker 1: for you, what you remember about your first year? What's 963 00:50:28,080 --> 00:50:30,719 Speaker 1: the most memorable game in the twenty fourteen season, which 964 00:50:30,800 --> 00:50:33,920 Speaker 1: was your first year on the sideline doing these broadcasts. 965 00:50:33,920 --> 00:50:35,960 Speaker 1: I'm glad you brought this up because it's the very 966 00:50:36,120 --> 00:50:40,960 Speaker 1: first game and maybe maybe my internet or mother nature 967 00:50:41,040 --> 00:50:45,560 Speaker 1: had revenge on me today with our call with Obe. 968 00:50:45,760 --> 00:50:49,239 Speaker 1: But in the first game against Washington. I mean I was. 969 00:50:49,360 --> 00:50:52,040 Speaker 1: I was so excited. It was Bill's first game. We 970 00:50:52,080 --> 00:50:54,279 Speaker 1: had about one hundred and twenty five guys here from 971 00:50:54,320 --> 00:50:58,760 Speaker 1: our football classes that at least, you know, we're close 972 00:50:58,800 --> 00:51:00,520 Speaker 1: to Bill's years, so it's a lot of guys that 973 00:51:00,560 --> 00:51:03,240 Speaker 1: I haven't seen in a lot of years. I was pumped. 974 00:51:03,239 --> 00:51:05,480 Speaker 1: It was my first game down in the sidelines. I 975 00:51:05,520 --> 00:51:08,759 Speaker 1: feel like, the game's going really well, and then you're 976 00:51:08,760 --> 00:51:11,120 Speaker 1: calling the action and then all of a sudden, you 977 00:51:11,200 --> 00:51:15,839 Speaker 1: just kind of stop, and I'm like, what's happening? Mark, 978 00:51:16,080 --> 00:51:17,920 Speaker 1: Like what is going on? And then all I can 979 00:51:17,960 --> 00:51:21,440 Speaker 1: hear all this like chaos happening kind of up in 980 00:51:21,480 --> 00:51:23,960 Speaker 1: the booth, and I'm just like, what's going on? Well, 981 00:51:24,000 --> 00:51:27,319 Speaker 1: I had been so dialed in on the field, I 982 00:51:27,400 --> 00:51:31,600 Speaker 1: never looked outside outside. It was one of the worst 983 00:51:31,640 --> 00:51:35,399 Speaker 1: thunderstorms you had ever seen, and it knocked us off 984 00:51:35,440 --> 00:51:38,279 Speaker 1: the air. And I'm so used to that because my 985 00:51:38,280 --> 00:51:40,920 Speaker 1: former radio stations, all we ever did was getting knocked 986 00:51:40,960 --> 00:51:43,719 Speaker 1: off the air. So we getting knocked off the air, 987 00:51:44,320 --> 00:51:47,200 Speaker 1: and it's just kind of like it's chaos, and it's 988 00:51:47,239 --> 00:51:50,080 Speaker 1: like what do we do next? And all of a a sudden, 989 00:51:51,080 --> 00:51:54,800 Speaker 1: I hear this get me back on the bleeping air 990 00:51:55,000 --> 00:52:01,520 Speaker 1: back and these two fist hit the table and I 991 00:52:01,520 --> 00:52:08,120 Speaker 1: fell out laughing, and then I hear Draco Johnny, we're 992 00:52:08,160 --> 00:52:12,480 Speaker 1: down right now. Just so you know, yeah, I kinda 993 00:52:12,560 --> 00:52:15,279 Speaker 1: figured it. I kinda figured that out, lost it. But 994 00:52:15,760 --> 00:52:18,040 Speaker 1: it was just so funny because I remember we were 995 00:52:18,080 --> 00:52:20,799 Speaker 1: talking leading up to that game that maybe it's not 996 00:52:20,880 --> 00:52:22,919 Speaker 1: leading up to that game, but but during that time 997 00:52:22,920 --> 00:52:25,040 Speaker 1: period when I was hired before that game, and you 998 00:52:25,080 --> 00:52:26,960 Speaker 1: were like, oh, I can lose it. Now, I can 999 00:52:27,000 --> 00:52:29,399 Speaker 1: lose it. I was like, yeah, right, we went off 1000 00:52:29,400 --> 00:52:32,719 Speaker 1: the air and I was like, oh, yeah, we he 1001 00:52:32,880 --> 00:52:36,279 Speaker 1: just lost it. I was dying laughing. And so the 1002 00:52:36,320 --> 00:52:38,560 Speaker 1: next best thing was we're off the air. We're trying 1003 00:52:38,600 --> 00:52:39,920 Speaker 1: to figure out how to get back on the air, 1004 00:52:40,719 --> 00:52:42,719 Speaker 1: and then Dre and I just started talking to each other, 1005 00:52:43,360 --> 00:52:44,759 Speaker 1: and it really was kind of you know, because we 1006 00:52:44,760 --> 00:52:46,839 Speaker 1: didn't know each other. I saw you guys doing that 1007 00:52:46,840 --> 00:52:48,960 Speaker 1: while we were trying to figure things that. We were 1008 00:52:49,000 --> 00:52:50,680 Speaker 1: just talking about the game, and we were talking about 1009 00:52:50,719 --> 00:52:52,439 Speaker 1: what was going on down on the field and Dad 1010 00:52:52,440 --> 00:52:56,560 Speaker 1: Mark came out that day, and so we're trying to 1011 00:52:56,640 --> 00:52:59,120 Speaker 1: figure it all out, and we eventually get back on 1012 00:52:59,200 --> 00:53:02,640 Speaker 1: the air, and I'm just like, Okay, this is my 1013 00:53:02,719 --> 00:53:04,960 Speaker 1: first game. I know this doesn't happen every game, and 1014 00:53:04,960 --> 00:53:06,960 Speaker 1: it's never happened since, but the fact that it happened 1015 00:53:06,960 --> 00:53:09,799 Speaker 1: in my very first game that was weird. Was was 1016 00:53:09,880 --> 00:53:12,920 Speaker 1: so so funny. I was just it was such a 1017 00:53:13,080 --> 00:53:15,840 Speaker 1: really funny moment to have and I love that just 1018 00:53:15,880 --> 00:53:17,799 Speaker 1: because Drey and I really kind of got a chance 1019 00:53:17,840 --> 00:53:20,760 Speaker 1: to talk that day for really kind of the longest time, 1020 00:53:20,840 --> 00:53:22,120 Speaker 1: and so it was really kind of cool. As we 1021 00:53:22,120 --> 00:53:24,400 Speaker 1: were watching the game. My defense, by the way, I 1022 00:53:24,480 --> 00:53:26,440 Speaker 1: just wanted to get on via a phone line, anything 1023 00:53:26,480 --> 00:53:30,080 Speaker 1: to know, to Dixie cups in a string, anything, and 1024 00:53:30,480 --> 00:53:32,239 Speaker 1: it could not be done. And that's what upset me 1025 00:53:32,239 --> 00:53:34,719 Speaker 1: more than anything. Listen, you had every you had every 1026 00:53:34,760 --> 00:53:37,400 Speaker 1: reason to do it. But what I loved was get 1027 00:53:37,440 --> 00:53:39,840 Speaker 1: me back on the air. I was like, it was 1028 00:53:39,880 --> 00:53:41,840 Speaker 1: not good. That was the best part. Oh boy, that 1029 00:53:41,920 --> 00:53:44,400 Speaker 1: was the best part. So uh, that was probably my 1030 00:53:44,480 --> 00:53:47,600 Speaker 1: favorite in that first season. At twenty fourteen, the game 1031 00:53:47,640 --> 00:53:50,200 Speaker 1: I remember the most of twenty fourteen, the Dallas game 1032 00:53:50,280 --> 00:53:52,439 Speaker 1: up in Arlington was unbel and it was a loss, 1033 00:53:52,480 --> 00:53:55,960 Speaker 1: but it was so unforgettable.
