1
00:00:00,720 --> 00:00:02,719
Speaker 1: To be able to take it to that next level.

2
00:00:02,920 --> 00:00:10,520
Speaker 1: That's what I'm excited about. Bill's rick past the dard

3
00:00:10,760 --> 00:00:14,480
Speaker 1: with the sacks back at the twenty five yard line touchdown.

4
00:00:14,640 --> 00:00:20,439
Speaker 1: You're standing rock and roll, tremospid coast to coast. There

5
00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:24,840
Speaker 1: is no off season for your Houston Texans. Game day

6
00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:31,880
Speaker 1: is every day now. It's Texans all excess. Oh you

7
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:34,600
Speaker 1: better believe it is. Mark Vandermaer and John Harris with

8
00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:38,000
Speaker 1: you tonight live as we will keep track of everything

9
00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:41,839
Speaker 1: going on in free agency, reading that ticker dated reference,

10
00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:45,000
Speaker 1: reading the ticker ticker tape, the way the stock market

11
00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:49,400
Speaker 1: used to be followed, Right, Johnny, it's on here we are.

12
00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:52,559
Speaker 1: League yere begins tomorrow. Obviously we're in the legal tampering

13
00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:56,360
Speaker 1: or negotiating period. Plenty of stuff breaking. The team will

14
00:00:56,400 --> 00:00:59,200
Speaker 1: not announce anything until it's all said and done. I

15
00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:01,480
Speaker 1: believe unless thing huge goes down and you know what

16
00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:04,000
Speaker 1: that could be, although maybe they wait for the league

17
00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:05,880
Speaker 1: year to begin for that too. The point is this,

18
00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:08,760
Speaker 1: there's a lot of news breaking. We'll give you the reports,

19
00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:13,959
Speaker 1: will comment, we will react because man, you're start starting

20
00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:17,520
Speaker 1: to see some elements of the team take shape. But

21
00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:19,559
Speaker 1: we have a long way to go still in free

22
00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:22,920
Speaker 1: agency and obviously with the draft as well, and I

23
00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:24,959
Speaker 1: think that's really the most important thing here as far

24
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:29,760
Speaker 1: as player acquisition. But the trade, the potential trade, the

25
00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:32,880
Speaker 1: trade when it happens, if and when, that's obviously the

26
00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:35,839
Speaker 1: biggest story. How you doing, my friend, I'm doing well.

27
00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:40,000
Speaker 1: And it's man, it's been crazy. I mean, obviously you

28
00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:45,200
Speaker 1: hit it. Anything that we talk about is not going

29
00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:49,160
Speaker 1: to be followed with a statement from the team. So

30
00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:52,240
Speaker 1: these are all sources that I've gotten it from agents,

31
00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:56,000
Speaker 1: maybe they've gotten it from the player himself. So just

32
00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:59,120
Speaker 1: that's very key to keep in mind because if you

33
00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:01,960
Speaker 1: were on Cowboys All Access last night, you were talking

34
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:06,240
Speaker 1: about Randy Gregory re staying with the Dallas Cowboys, and

35
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:08,960
Speaker 1: then you had to come back and go, oh but wait,

36
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:12,320
Speaker 1: he's not gonna be in Dallas. He's going to Denver,

37
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:17,720
Speaker 1: which Randy Gregory and Denver is probably about the best

38
00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:20,920
Speaker 1: fit could possibly be if you know anything about Randy Gregory.

39
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:23,120
Speaker 1: So there's that, But Randy Gregory going out to Denver

40
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:26,880
Speaker 1: opposite Bradley Chub, oh boy, and we face those guys.

41
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:32,639
Speaker 1: AFC West continues to just get just Nutty. But there's

42
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:36,520
Speaker 1: there's so much mark On. I mean, if you just

43
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:39,359
Speaker 1: did a timeline last twenty four hours, just last twenty

44
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:41,200
Speaker 1: four hours, from the time we started our show last

45
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:45,880
Speaker 1: night to right now, there were two teams that met

46
00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:49,360
Speaker 1: with a quarterback. Then this morning we found out that

47
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:52,919
Speaker 1: there was a third team, Lurking that plays on the lake,

48
00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:57,320
Speaker 1: and then there was a fourth team that has maybe

49
00:02:57,360 --> 00:03:00,200
Speaker 1: a homeboy advantage because it's right in the backyard. And

50
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:05,720
Speaker 1: it's like, okay, this thing continues to mushroom. But as

51
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:09,040
Speaker 1: I heard about the Falcons today, you know, I was

52
00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:11,200
Speaker 1: in the car going I told you, I told you

53
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:13,000
Speaker 1: it was NFC South. I told you it was the

54
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:16,799
Speaker 1: NFC South. And had the Bucks not gotten Tom Brady

55
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:18,920
Speaker 1: to come back, which kind of we just let fly

56
00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:21,280
Speaker 1: well over the radar because we are on so many

57
00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:23,840
Speaker 1: other things. If Tom Brady doesn't come back, the Bucks

58
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:27,240
Speaker 1: are probably nothing too. The NFC South is just like no, no, no,

59
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:29,280
Speaker 1: we want it, no, we want it, we want okay,

60
00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:32,680
Speaker 1: let them fight it out and then bring back all

61
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:35,440
Speaker 1: of the draft picks and players or whatever else in return.

62
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:39,280
Speaker 1: It's just been crazy. But Mark, Mark, that's that's not

63
00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:44,160
Speaker 1: all that's going on today, every hour to ninety minutes,

64
00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:46,680
Speaker 1: you looked up and it's like, oh my gosh, this happened.

65
00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:50,320
Speaker 1: Oh they're retaining this guy. Oh this guy's restructured his contract.

66
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:54,160
Speaker 1: It's been it's been nutty. But as you start to

67
00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:57,680
Speaker 1: look at it, you go, Okay, I start to see

68
00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:00,800
Speaker 1: how this is coming together. And that doesn't even take

69
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:04,160
Speaker 1: into account the ten to twelve potential draft picks that

70
00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:07,520
Speaker 1: are going to happen over draft weekend, which get me

71
00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:10,480
Speaker 1: really excited at that point. So it's been a really

72
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:15,640
Speaker 1: wild day following up on Monday, and tomorrow might be

73
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:18,279
Speaker 1: the exact same as we approach the actual start of

74
00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:21,520
Speaker 1: the league year. Well, look, it's just you and me

75
00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:24,479
Speaker 1: talking here, right, and I know everybody's curious about what's

76
00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:27,560
Speaker 1: gonna happen. Of course you are. The Atlanta thing did

77
00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:30,920
Speaker 1: surprise me. Not because I mean, obviously it's the hometown.

78
00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:33,880
Speaker 1: I mean that does factor into the equation, but because

79
00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:37,279
Speaker 1: of the Matt Ryan situation contractually and otherwise. And you

80
00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:40,680
Speaker 1: wonder about that because I think Matt Ryan can still

81
00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:43,680
Speaker 1: play in this league. Now, if Matt Ryan was coming back,

82
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:47,960
Speaker 1: that's kind of strange for this setup here in that

83
00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:52,520
Speaker 1: where are you going right? Because you're building, you're launching

84
00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:56,680
Speaker 1: something from the ground up. And at his age, is

85
00:04:56,680 --> 00:04:58,920
Speaker 1: he really a part of that? But Matt Ryan, to

86
00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:01,040
Speaker 1: me is the kind of quarterback who could help, say

87
00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:03,160
Speaker 1: the Colts or somebody like that. Not that I want

88
00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:05,080
Speaker 1: to see him go there, because I think that would

89
00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:07,800
Speaker 1: be a big boost for them. I mean, that's almost

90
00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:10,159
Speaker 1: a perfect team for him. If you just talk about

91
00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:14,200
Speaker 1: that quarterback, Johnny Matt Ryan to the Colts, set up,

92
00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:19,039
Speaker 1: run the football, makes some throws, make some clutch throws. Look,

93
00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:21,640
Speaker 1: you're talking about a former MVP here, and I don't

94
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:23,800
Speaker 1: know what's going to happen if that deal goes down

95
00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:27,159
Speaker 1: with that team when we're talking about this team. But man,

96
00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:32,479
Speaker 1: that Cleveland, what happens to Mayfield one year left? Obviously

97
00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:35,440
Speaker 1: the other two? You know, everybody's got their pluses and

98
00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:38,840
Speaker 1: minuses for both sides, For the Texan side of looking

99
00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:41,320
Speaker 1: at things and for the Watson side of looking at things.

100
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:44,680
Speaker 1: That's what makes this so compelling, and we're on edge.

101
00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:47,160
Speaker 1: I hated to hear that there was another meeting tomorrow

102
00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:50,080
Speaker 1: reportedly because I'm thinking, come on, can we get this

103
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:52,880
Speaker 1: thing done? But you want the right thing to happen,

104
00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:55,839
Speaker 1: whatever that is. You want the right return, you want

105
00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:59,080
Speaker 1: the right situation, you want, I hate to say everybody

106
00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:01,280
Speaker 1: to be happy, because most of all I want to

107
00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:03,960
Speaker 1: be happy. So let's just see how it plays out. Well,

108
00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:07,120
Speaker 1: that's most important, And that's what I've been thinking about

109
00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:11,320
Speaker 1: this entire time, is what what would make Mark happy?

110
00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:13,880
Speaker 1: And that's how I that's how I've gone about thinking

111
00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:17,160
Speaker 1: about this, which is not all that far from the truth,

112
00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:20,520
Speaker 1: to be honest with you, but it is what makes

113
00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:24,760
Speaker 1: us happy. But you're right, I you know, we we

114
00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:29,159
Speaker 1: did this, Um was I think twenty eighteen? I think

115
00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:31,880
Speaker 1: we did this. We did kind of a quarterback rule.

116
00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:34,320
Speaker 1: We kind of do it every year, but we do.

117
00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:37,080
Speaker 1: We do quarterback with that. Okay, where's this guy gonna

118
00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:38,880
Speaker 1: end up? Where's this guy gonna end up? Who's gonna

119
00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:41,000
Speaker 1: end up here? Where is this guy gonna go? And

120
00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:43,520
Speaker 1: I remember twenty eighteen I knocked out of the park.

121
00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:45,920
Speaker 1: I had it, or maybe it's twenty seventeen. I knocked

122
00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:47,279
Speaker 1: it out of the park. I had him all going

123
00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:50,560
Speaker 1: in the right spot. Everybody, um you know, going the

124
00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:52,120
Speaker 1: right spot. The only one I didn't have was the

125
00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:55,800
Speaker 1: bills ending up with Josh Allen, so it's twenty eighteen.

126
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:58,520
Speaker 1: I didn't have the bills with Josh Allen, so that

127
00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:01,440
Speaker 1: was about the only one. If we need quarterback roulette

128
00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:04,800
Speaker 1: for this, I got no clue. I got none. I

129
00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:06,840
Speaker 1: got none. The only thing I had really was I

130
00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:09,280
Speaker 1: felt like with the way things were shaping up in

131
00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:12,240
Speaker 1: the NFC South, I felt like that was gonna be

132
00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:14,560
Speaker 1: where there was a lot of competition, in large part

133
00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:19,640
Speaker 1: because I've said a long Carolina, I you know, seeing

134
00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:21,960
Speaker 1: the news today about Tyrod going up to the New

135
00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:24,920
Speaker 1: York Giants, I mean, if you're a Giants fan, and

136
00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:27,480
Speaker 1: I mean we talked to John Schmilt, who is fantastic,

137
00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:28,920
Speaker 1: and he was one of the better guests we've had.

138
00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:31,760
Speaker 1: He was fantastic. Yeah, but did you get the feeling

139
00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:34,120
Speaker 1: from him that Giants fans are all that jazzed up

140
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:40,080
Speaker 1: about Daniel Jones and Jones. If Jones struggles, then it's

141
00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:42,640
Speaker 1: Tyrod's showed. Do you think they're excited about that? I mean,

142
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:44,720
Speaker 1: I'd been more excited about Tyrod, to be honest, with

143
00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:48,160
Speaker 1: the Daniel Jones. I've seen the Daniel Jones show before

144
00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:51,560
Speaker 1: and it's not great. So do I want to see Tyrod.

145
00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:55,160
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't understand why the Giants wouldn't want

146
00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:57,400
Speaker 1: to get back in that conversation and the look maybe

147
00:07:57,400 --> 00:08:01,040
Speaker 1: they are just because things are well they was reported

148
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:03,160
Speaker 1: these teams. Well, that doesn't mean that there haven't been

149
00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:06,080
Speaker 1: others kind of lurking in the weeds, calling somebody maybe

150
00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:08,840
Speaker 1: they know down here in Houston, going hey, what's what's

151
00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:11,360
Speaker 1: really the situation is this? You think it's something we

152
00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:13,400
Speaker 1: can get into. I mean that stuff is happening all

153
00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:16,720
Speaker 1: the time, and it may not, it may not ever

154
00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:20,280
Speaker 1: make its way out to the media, especially if they're

155
00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:22,160
Speaker 1: particular people that don't want it out in the media.

156
00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:24,560
Speaker 1: So from that standpoint, I think they're gonna be a

157
00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:28,520
Speaker 1: lot of people trying to make a make a play.

158
00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:30,720
Speaker 1: And that's why I'm with you Mark, I'd like to

159
00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:33,480
Speaker 1: see something done before the start of the new league

160
00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:36,959
Speaker 1: year tomorrow, right But and I you know, from a

161
00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:38,839
Speaker 1: salary cap standpoint, and all that kind of stuff comes

162
00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:40,760
Speaker 1: into play, and that's why the Brady situation had to

163
00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:45,240
Speaker 1: work itself out, because it becomes a whole different ball wax,

164
00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:49,320
Speaker 1: if you will, from a salary cap situation. So I'm

165
00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:52,160
Speaker 1: I'm just as interested everybody else. But like I said, Mark,

166
00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:56,720
Speaker 1: big news with LT news about players being retained two

167
00:08:56,760 --> 00:09:00,680
Speaker 1: contracts in particular, that I was excited about a new

168
00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:04,120
Speaker 1: players being added to the mix. All of that happening today,

169
00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:07,960
Speaker 1: even without movement of the quarterback. Yeah, and I want

170
00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:11,560
Speaker 1: to get to those those transactions if you will, today,

171
00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:14,760
Speaker 1: new guys, guys who were here who are going to

172
00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:17,480
Speaker 1: remain here. I think that that's a bit of a

173
00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:21,160
Speaker 1: theme here that maybe was unexpected by some, but it

174
00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:23,280
Speaker 1: makes sense when you look at it closely. And as

175
00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:26,079
Speaker 1: we point out, you're building a ninety man roster right now.

176
00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:29,040
Speaker 1: You're not building the fifty three just yet. But you

177
00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:30,319
Speaker 1: know that there are some guys who are going to

178
00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:33,280
Speaker 1: be on that fifty three if healthy, no doubt about it.

179
00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:38,160
Speaker 1: But back to the whole trade scenario here, Johnny, the

180
00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:42,679
Speaker 1: whole thing feels odd because it's not quite free agency,

181
00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:45,719
Speaker 1: but it's not a straight trade obviously with the no

182
00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:49,960
Speaker 1: trade clause. So you have recruitment taking place here. I mean,

183
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:54,840
Speaker 1: you have actual recruiting going on, and maybe it's just

184
00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:59,040
Speaker 1: it's not kicking tires, it's you know, you want to

185
00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:00,520
Speaker 1: look the guy in the eye if you're one of

186
00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:03,280
Speaker 1: these teams that wants to wheel and deal. So it's

187
00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:07,880
Speaker 1: maybe mutual, if you will, but it has that feel

188
00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:10,120
Speaker 1: to it. It has a recruitment type of feel. And

189
00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:12,560
Speaker 1: if you're really, you know, one of these teams, whoever

190
00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:16,040
Speaker 1: it might be, who wants him most anybody else coming

191
00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:18,600
Speaker 1: into the fray at this point, are they driving up

192
00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:22,240
Speaker 1: the price? Are they serious? How much is the other

193
00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:26,040
Speaker 1: team going to not panic but you know, be inspired

194
00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:27,760
Speaker 1: to give more. I mean, there are a lot of

195
00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:31,679
Speaker 1: different factors at play here, and the clause itself and

196
00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:36,920
Speaker 1: the timing with which it gets okayed or deleted or

197
00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:38,640
Speaker 1: whatever you would do with it. And I don't know

198
00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:40,520
Speaker 1: how that works. Do you sign a little do you

199
00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:42,959
Speaker 1: do a little docu sign like Matt the clause is

200
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:45,160
Speaker 1: off from these two teams or whatever. I don't know

201
00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:47,959
Speaker 1: how they do that. I'm really curious. But I'm not

202
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:50,160
Speaker 1: gonna bother Nick with that right now because I think

203
00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:52,360
Speaker 1: he's busy. Like if I went to his office right now,

204
00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:55,440
Speaker 1: he might say, unless you're delivering food, and it better

205
00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:58,400
Speaker 1: be the right kind of food, get out because he's

206
00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:01,320
Speaker 1: a little busy right now. So again, we'll keep you

207
00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:04,320
Speaker 1: posted anything that develops during this show here, any of

208
00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:06,720
Speaker 1: our shows. Obviously you've been listening to Sports Radio six

209
00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:09,400
Speaker 1: ten all day long. Johnny, you brought it up and

210
00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:11,400
Speaker 1: it happened within the last hour and a half or whatever.

211
00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:15,320
Speaker 1: It was that Laramie Tunsil tweeted out the Wolf of

212
00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:20,000
Speaker 1: Wall Street scene where DiCaprio says, I'm not leaving and

213
00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:23,400
Speaker 1: he uses some colorful language. Okay, we've all seen that.

214
00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:27,920
Speaker 1: That's a fantastic gift. It's great, it's a great scene.

215
00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:32,920
Speaker 1: But Laramie's not leaving. Laramie reportedly the subject of some

216
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:36,800
Speaker 1: trade rumors. He says he's not going anywhere. So Laramie

217
00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:40,360
Speaker 1: at left, Titus at right, are we good to go here?

218
00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:42,560
Speaker 1: And what does that do with the number three pick?

219
00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:45,920
Speaker 1: Because you have some very attractive offensive lineman high your

220
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:49,320
Speaker 1: thoughts on the LT situation and how it affects the

221
00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:52,120
Speaker 1: whole thing. It's so funny because that was the exact

222
00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:55,679
Speaker 1: first thing LTE restructured and then I went, cool, what

223
00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:57,600
Speaker 1: do we do with number three? It was the I mean,

224
00:11:57,600 --> 00:12:00,800
Speaker 1: it was that exact. It happened just like that. All right,

225
00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:03,400
Speaker 1: LT's come back. I you know, we've talked about it

226
00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:07,120
Speaker 1: in the office Okay, because that's that's what you do.

227
00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:09,880
Speaker 1: You talk about these things you talk about. Okay, Titus

228
00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:12,200
Speaker 1: played pretty well left tackle. If they wanted to, or

229
00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:14,360
Speaker 1: if they if they could, if they did, would it

230
00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:18,840
Speaker 1: make sense? Maybe not? Maybe. So I'm glad Elti's back

231
00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:21,480
Speaker 1: because you got a quarterback just going into second year.

232
00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:24,199
Speaker 1: He hasn't had a full year as a starter, and

233
00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:27,080
Speaker 1: to know that your blind side has taken care of

234
00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:33,280
Speaker 1: for the most part. I mean they Laramie played Thursday

235
00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:37,520
Speaker 1: night in Buffalo, which was an atrocious mess, and then

236
00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:39,680
Speaker 1: he got hurt early in the fifth game. So he's

237
00:12:39,679 --> 00:12:43,840
Speaker 1: only played a couple of games with Davis and he

238
00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:46,920
Speaker 1: really wasn't playing with the good Davis, if you will,

239
00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:50,600
Speaker 1: So maybe Davis gets comfortable with Laramie over there. You

240
00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:53,160
Speaker 1: put Titus back at right, Okay, let's rock and those

241
00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:56,320
Speaker 1: two have been tweeting at one another for all of us,

242
00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:58,440
Speaker 1: which is kind of nice. So now you start thinking

243
00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:02,920
Speaker 1: about number three, and Evan and Ikey Aquanu are tremendous players.

244
00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:07,319
Speaker 1: They both both can play guard. There's no question both

245
00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:09,920
Speaker 1: of them can play guard. They both add a bunch

246
00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:13,160
Speaker 1: of nasty to your offensive line. But do I want

247
00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:15,599
Speaker 1: to do it at number three to go get a

248
00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:19,840
Speaker 1: guard if it's Quintin Nelson, and Nelson didn't go till

249
00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:23,800
Speaker 1: the six. Nelson's the best guard arguably we've seen since

250
00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:27,400
Speaker 1: John Hannah. So and that was at number six. So

251
00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:29,120
Speaker 1: at number three, do you do it? I don't know.

252
00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:33,320
Speaker 1: I go back to and the thought that I've had. Okay,

253
00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:37,199
Speaker 1: let's do any of these free agents signings send off

254
00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:40,240
Speaker 1: a signal. And what I mean by that is, okay,

255
00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:42,640
Speaker 1: let's look at these by position. With a fast wide receiver.

256
00:13:42,679 --> 00:13:46,480
Speaker 1: They've added too. They resigned Conley and Moore tight end.

257
00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:50,520
Speaker 1: They brought back Phararell Brown and aunt Anthony Auclair. Offensive line,

258
00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:54,080
Speaker 1: they are bringing back Justin Britt, They're bringing back Laramie Tunsel.

259
00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:56,599
Speaker 1: They already had Justin McCrae in a mix. They just

260
00:13:56,800 --> 00:14:00,720
Speaker 1: signed or are going to sign aj Can, So maybe

261
00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:03,000
Speaker 1: not off it's line. Now. Running back they haven't done

262
00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:06,839
Speaker 1: much with. They've got Rex and they have Scottie and

263
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:09,000
Speaker 1: those are the guys that they have in their running

264
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:11,439
Speaker 1: back room right now, along with Darius Anderson who's added late.

265
00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:13,080
Speaker 1: So not much has done running back. We're not gonna

266
00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:15,439
Speaker 1: be running back. Number three. Here's the one to me

267
00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:18,840
Speaker 1: that kind of stood out on the defensive line. They've

268
00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:23,760
Speaker 1: only added Obo Okanquo today, the young man from a

269
00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:26,280
Speaker 1: Leif Taylor, which is good to see. I have Adam

270
00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:28,840
Speaker 1: Lee Collins, but they haven't done a ton on the

271
00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:32,160
Speaker 1: outside other than Obo. So does that tell you okay,

272
00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:34,560
Speaker 1: Number three is in play for an edge rusher. Well,

273
00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:38,840
Speaker 1: here's the other position is safety because they've resigned Terrence Brooks,

274
00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:41,520
Speaker 1: but they lost Justin Reid, they lost A. J. Moore.

275
00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:45,080
Speaker 1: They did bring in M. J. Stewart, and they trying

276
00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:48,920
Speaker 1: to restructure with Eric Murray. But Kyle Hamilton's sitting there

277
00:14:48,920 --> 00:14:50,920
Speaker 1: and he's one of the better playmakers in the country

278
00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:54,400
Speaker 1: at number three. And I've been saying it for months.

279
00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:56,680
Speaker 1: He's my number one. He will be my number one.

280
00:14:56,720 --> 00:14:58,760
Speaker 1: Of the Harris one hundred. He already is, he will be.

281
00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:03,040
Speaker 1: There won't be anything changes it going forward. He is

282
00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:05,480
Speaker 1: number one, and I could see him being number three.

283
00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:07,920
Speaker 1: And you put him in love you Smiths defense behind

284
00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:10,720
Speaker 1: what's going on in front of him. I think that

285
00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:13,680
Speaker 1: could be a really interesting piece. It feels like they've

286
00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:17,760
Speaker 1: added at other positions, but they need to add more

287
00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:19,960
Speaker 1: at safety because they've lost a couple of players, and

288
00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:22,640
Speaker 1: they've brought in m J. Stewart. I get that, but

289
00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:26,000
Speaker 1: it feels like they're an inside linebacker or off the

290
00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:29,200
Speaker 1: ball linebacker. They brought back Christian Kirksey, and they have

291
00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:33,680
Speaker 1: Garrett Wallow, but in Tay Davis they've also resigned. They

292
00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:35,280
Speaker 1: haven't done a lot there. But I don't think you

293
00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:37,560
Speaker 1: can make a case for a linebacker of that ilk

294
00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:39,880
Speaker 1: at number three. But you can make a case for

295
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:43,920
Speaker 1: Kyle Hamilton, and you can make a case for and

296
00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:46,280
Speaker 1: Aiden Hutchinson. I don't know that he gets the three

297
00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:50,160
Speaker 1: Cavon Thibodeau would be a stretch Trayvon Walker from out

298
00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:52,480
Speaker 1: of Georgia. I would love and I would love him

299
00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:55,320
Speaker 1: at three. I think he would be a mean soob

300
00:15:56,080 --> 00:15:59,280
Speaker 1: who is violent, who could play opposite John Grenard, which

301
00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:02,680
Speaker 1: would be really, really fun down the road. So I

302
00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:05,520
Speaker 1: thought about that. I think it takes them out of

303
00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:10,480
Speaker 1: the Equanu slash Neal sweepstakes, if you will, and I

304
00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:13,760
Speaker 1: think it puts a focus on finding a defensive playmaker

305
00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:15,960
Speaker 1: to go along with the guys that you've just resigned,

306
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:19,360
Speaker 1: and at it, well, if you're gonna go best athlete available,

307
00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:21,760
Speaker 1: maybe it is Hamilton, and then I can make all

308
00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:26,840
Speaker 1: sorts of Hamilton references. Right, I'm seeing Hamilton this weekend again.

309
00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:28,800
Speaker 1: I've seen it once. It's been in Houston for a

310
00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:31,960
Speaker 1: while now, a few weeks, and I want to make

311
00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:36,120
Speaker 1: some Hamilton references. So maybe it's gonna be him. Look,

312
00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:39,920
Speaker 1: best athlete available you're picking at three? Yes, if he

313
00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:43,720
Speaker 1: is that special at his position? For instance? Is he

314
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:48,400
Speaker 1: more special at his position than anybody else would be

315
00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:53,000
Speaker 1: at THEIRS at three with the possible exception of Hutchinson

316
00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:56,360
Speaker 1: dropping right, But I don't even know because you still

317
00:16:56,400 --> 00:16:59,680
Speaker 1: have Hamilton rated higher. So let's just see how it goes.

318
00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:02,400
Speaker 1: And we have a long way to go before the draft,

319
00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:04,800
Speaker 1: relatively here. It's actually not that long. But we're still

320
00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:10,280
Speaker 1: knee deep here in these negotiations acquisitions. League year starts

321
00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:13,240
Speaker 1: at three pm tomorrow Central, So we'll make some of

322
00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:15,840
Speaker 1: these official and be able to talk more about them,

323
00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:18,960
Speaker 1: all right, Johnny. Other things going on with the plenty

324
00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:21,360
Speaker 1: going on here. I haven't even gotten to the rest

325
00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:23,440
Speaker 1: of the AFC South yet. What the Jags are doing.

326
00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:25,920
Speaker 1: We didn't even talk about that much yesterday. There was

327
00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:27,960
Speaker 1: so much going on with the Texans, you know, we're

328
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:30,840
Speaker 1: all on pins and needles with the Watson trade possibilities

329
00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:32,720
Speaker 1: and all of that. And by the way, I want

330
00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:34,680
Speaker 1: to bring this up because I got some messages today.

331
00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:38,119
Speaker 1: Why do you keep saying and this I'm doing an

332
00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:41,440
Speaker 1: amalgam of them. Why do you keep saying, you know,

333
00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:44,040
Speaker 1: if the trade gets done, I don't really say that

334
00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:46,639
Speaker 1: that much. But look, here's the fact, and I know

335
00:17:46,760 --> 00:17:49,320
Speaker 1: there's you know, there's a contingent of people holding out

336
00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:53,680
Speaker 1: hope of reconciliation, of patching up the wounds, of letting

337
00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:57,040
Speaker 1: the water flow under the bridge and moving on together. Look,

338
00:17:57,480 --> 00:18:00,200
Speaker 1: it's my personal opinion, and this is an opinion. The

339
00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:03,280
Speaker 1: marriage is over. Okay that if that was going to happen,

340
00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:06,240
Speaker 1: it would have happened already. I'm always open to the

341
00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:09,760
Speaker 1: possibility of great things happening, And in the realm of possibility,

342
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:13,199
Speaker 1: this does exist, right because it's not the craziest thing.

343
00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:15,680
Speaker 1: You're not landing a paper airplane on the moon. This

344
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:19,520
Speaker 1: is not the craziest thing you could possibly think of, right,

345
00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:23,800
Speaker 1: I get that. It just doesn't seem like the parties

346
00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:29,080
Speaker 1: are in position to reconcile, you understand, So this is

347
00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:31,520
Speaker 1: gonna go down and it's a matter of when and

348
00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:36,200
Speaker 1: not if, and we're just waiting. Yeah, and it's of course,

349
00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:40,280
Speaker 1: and it's such a it's such a massive situation. You

350
00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:45,520
Speaker 1: want to make sure that it's it's the way that

351
00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:47,840
Speaker 1: we presented on the radio is right. Like we don't

352
00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:49,439
Speaker 1: come out and say, oh, they trade him the Browns

353
00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:52,480
Speaker 1: and then we got taken by an iron chef feist

354
00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:54,480
Speaker 1: on Twitter. You know what I mean. I mean, we

355
00:18:54,560 --> 00:18:56,240
Speaker 1: want to you know, we don't want to be we

356
00:18:56,320 --> 00:18:58,200
Speaker 1: want to be taken. We want to be able to

357
00:18:58,320 --> 00:19:01,400
Speaker 1: report the news as it would be because how many

358
00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:05,080
Speaker 1: people have been You're tweeting about certain things and I

359
00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:09,400
Speaker 1: can't tell you the number of trade things I've seen

360
00:19:09,520 --> 00:19:11,840
Speaker 1: and which ones are coming from people just sort of

361
00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:14,159
Speaker 1: guessing or playing around, and which ones are coming from

362
00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:19,280
Speaker 1: people that actually heard something. I mean. So it's yeah,

363
00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:21,440
Speaker 1: and to your point, you know, Larry Stafford's got to

364
00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:23,720
Speaker 1: get out of your dms because it's just it's not

365
00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:27,680
Speaker 1: gonna happen. Um, and I got blessed. He's a passionate guy.

366
00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:31,040
Speaker 1: Say he is. He's a passionate guy. And I and

367
00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:32,840
Speaker 1: I and I get it. We've all wanted to see

368
00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:36,800
Speaker 1: a great quarterback. But you know, when the marriage is over.

369
00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:40,360
Speaker 1: You put it perfectly, you know, when the marriage is over.

370
00:19:41,359 --> 00:19:45,480
Speaker 1: And I've been sleeping in different bedrooms much less the

371
00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:48,240
Speaker 1: same house over the last different how many ever months,

372
00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:51,600
Speaker 1: is now quibble with how you got to that point.

373
00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:55,159
Speaker 1: Unfortunately you got to that point. So um it. You

374
00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:56,679
Speaker 1: know it is what it is, and so all right,

375
00:19:56,800 --> 00:20:01,640
Speaker 1: well what what can be done to make both parties

376
00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:06,520
Speaker 1: pleased and moved on? And so you start. I mean, Mark,

377
00:20:06,560 --> 00:20:10,040
Speaker 1: I know all all day. I mean in my head,

378
00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:11,560
Speaker 1: I'm just like, okay, what if they made this deal?

379
00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:13,080
Speaker 1: What if they made this deal? What if they made

380
00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:15,280
Speaker 1: this deal? Well, what if they did this? I mean

381
00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:17,760
Speaker 1: I worked out a whole scenario where they traded with Carolina,

382
00:20:18,040 --> 00:20:19,960
Speaker 1: and then I took six and I traded it to

383
00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:23,159
Speaker 1: the Chargers for two picks and a future first, and

384
00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:25,119
Speaker 1: then I ran a draft on it to see what

385
00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:29,400
Speaker 1: I could do and what I would come up. So yeah,

386
00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:32,280
Speaker 1: I texted that, and I've been trading those back and forth,

387
00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:34,240
Speaker 1: but I didn't want to send it to you because

388
00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:35,600
Speaker 1: I knew you would tell me the same thing. It's

389
00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:37,400
Speaker 1: not done yet. I know it's not done yet. We're

390
00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:40,120
Speaker 1: just kind of playing around here. But yeah, I saw

391
00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:43,240
Speaker 1: something today that I liked. I saw one with Carolina

392
00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:46,160
Speaker 1: that I really liked a lot. Yeah, and I was thinking, oh,

393
00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:49,560
Speaker 1: please make that one happen. But you know, you just

394
00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:52,080
Speaker 1: don't know until you get it. Yeah, And you don't

395
00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:54,280
Speaker 1: want to get set up for failure for like, oh

396
00:20:54,359 --> 00:20:55,560
Speaker 1: my god, I thought it was gonna be this and

397
00:20:55,640 --> 00:20:57,359
Speaker 1: then it turns out to be something different. I mean,

398
00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:01,119
Speaker 1: so you just let it work itself out and you

399
00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:07,000
Speaker 1: just continue to build the roster with hopefully a boat

400
00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:10,000
Speaker 1: ton of draft picks that you're gonna get back. And then,

401
00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:12,720
Speaker 1: as we saw last year, Nick moved up and down

402
00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:15,480
Speaker 1: to draft board. He moved up and down and up

403
00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:17,960
Speaker 1: and down, up and down, and so with some picks,

404
00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:20,840
Speaker 1: I mean, even with number three, if you said, okay,

405
00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:23,600
Speaker 1: here's the player I'd want. But if there was a

406
00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:25,600
Speaker 1: team that wanted to dance and say, hey, come on,

407
00:21:25,800 --> 00:21:28,119
Speaker 1: move down. Here's here's what we're willing to offer you.

408
00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:30,280
Speaker 1: All right, we'll move out of three, we'll move down

409
00:21:30,359 --> 00:21:32,720
Speaker 1: to I don't know, nine, ten, Maybe Joe Douglas calls

410
00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:34,359
Speaker 1: Nick and he's like, hey man, let's make let's make

411
00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:37,560
Speaker 1: a deal. Then you know, three for ten and then

412
00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:40,639
Speaker 1: there's other things involved, and you just built you know,

413
00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:43,840
Speaker 1: that's how you You build this thing back up with

414
00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:46,600
Speaker 1: a bunch of first round picks. If you think about

415
00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:48,440
Speaker 1: and I know you know this, but if you think

416
00:21:48,440 --> 00:21:51,720
Speaker 1: about the Texans in I don't know, let's just say

417
00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:55,040
Speaker 1: twenty eighteen for instance. Oh no, that's probably too late.

418
00:21:55,400 --> 00:21:58,840
Speaker 1: Maybe twenty seventeen. It's a good stopping point. You had

419
00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:02,360
Speaker 1: Dwayne Brown in O eight, you had Cushing in on nine,

420
00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:05,440
Speaker 1: your cream. At ten, you had I don't know, some

421
00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:09,000
Speaker 1: goofy Wisconsin dude. In eleven you Whitney, and twelve you

422
00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:13,080
Speaker 1: had Hopping thirteen your Clowney in fourteen. You hit on

423
00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:16,040
Speaker 1: all those first round picks. You hit on them, and

424
00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:19,280
Speaker 1: you had a team that could contend because you had

425
00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:25,080
Speaker 1: those first round picks that were elite players, and Rick

426
00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:28,080
Speaker 1: and his staff assessed them properly. They came here, they

427
00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:33,440
Speaker 1: matched well, and away you go. Now time eventually, you know,

428
00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:38,119
Speaker 1: erodes that roster for different reasons. But you have to

429
00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:41,000
Speaker 1: build it with elite talent. Even if you look at

430
00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:43,639
Speaker 1: the Patriots in the years that they won. Yeah they

431
00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:46,399
Speaker 1: had Tom Brady, I get that, but they had Randy

432
00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:49,240
Speaker 1: Moss on the team. You look at the front, they

433
00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:52,560
Speaker 1: had Richard Seymour, he was a first rounder. Vince Willfork

434
00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:57,159
Speaker 1: was a first rounder. Devin mccordy was a first rounder.

435
00:22:57,400 --> 00:23:00,160
Speaker 1: They had first round elite talent all over the place. Oh,

436
00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:01,960
Speaker 1: you're about to make a deal where you're not only

437
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:05,120
Speaker 1: gonna get your first rounders, but hopefully you're gonna get

438
00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:08,959
Speaker 1: others as well. In that with elite talent can hopefully

439
00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:11,639
Speaker 1: get you going in the right direction. All right, we

440
00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:13,720
Speaker 1: have lots of cover here. I want to get to

441
00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:15,640
Speaker 1: some of the other teams around the league. I want

442
00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:17,239
Speaker 1: to get to some of the other players that are

443
00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:25,400
Speaker 1: back or are new. Okaron Quo that's his name, right, yes,

444
00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:28,560
Speaker 1: all right, see, all right, I gotta get this down now.

445
00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:32,520
Speaker 1: He is interesting to me because obviously a local guy,

446
00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:34,480
Speaker 1: and this is gonna be fun. This is gonna be

447
00:23:34,520 --> 00:23:36,479
Speaker 1: fun to have him on the squad. We'll see how

448
00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:38,800
Speaker 1: that goes. You mentioned m J. Stewart. Just have to

449
00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:42,560

464
00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:40,760
Speaker 1: We return to Texans all excess. All right, So Johnny

465
00:24:40,760 --> 00:24:44,240
Speaker 1: and I have dogs on Twitter, all right? I tweeted

466
00:24:44,280 --> 00:24:47,840
Speaker 1: out a picture of my dog and me in the backyard,

467
00:24:48,840 --> 00:24:51,720
Speaker 1: and the dog wanted to know what's happening with free Agency.

468
00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:55,919
Speaker 1: You doubled down with a dog as well. That's your

469
00:24:56,000 --> 00:25:00,320
Speaker 1: pup as you quote tweeted that Texans Pup has response added.

470
00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:02,719
Speaker 1: And we started this a couple of weeks ago at

471
00:25:02,760 --> 00:25:06,120
Speaker 1: the combine with the service dog tweets that we had,

472
00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:08,000
Speaker 1: so I think it's gonna be a theme. Johnny, We're

473
00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:11,120
Speaker 1: gonna go dogs in this offseason because why not. Anyway,

474
00:25:11,359 --> 00:25:16,159
Speaker 1: it's Texans all access free agency, fast, furious, fantastic in

475
00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:19,960
Speaker 1: some cases, trade watch all of it happening. We're live,

476
00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:23,240
Speaker 1: Mark Vandermyer and John Harris. Johnny, you mentioned Tyrod Taylor

477
00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:27,120
Speaker 1: going to the Giants. That's pretty chunky money, all right,

478
00:25:27,320 --> 00:25:29,959
Speaker 1: and good for him to get it. And we like Tyrod.

479
00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:32,320
Speaker 1: He's a good guy. Happy for him that he got

480
00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:35,439
Speaker 1: that gig. Behind Daniel Jones. I'm a little surprised as

481
00:25:35,520 --> 00:25:38,680
Speaker 1: you are that they did it, because I'm thinking, don't

482
00:25:38,760 --> 00:25:42,640
Speaker 1: you want an option that can I know that Tyrod

483
00:25:42,760 --> 00:25:47,000
Speaker 1: can back up and play if necessary, but maybe somebody

484
00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:50,680
Speaker 1: who could flourish into something even greater, right, even greater

485
00:25:50,800 --> 00:25:54,680
Speaker 1: than Daniel Jones possibly. I don't know they have draft

486
00:25:54,760 --> 00:25:57,600
Speaker 1: capital to work with, or do you draft a guy later?

487
00:25:57,640 --> 00:26:00,359
Speaker 1: Do you draft a Kirk Cousins type, you know, fourth round,

488
00:26:00,440 --> 00:26:03,960
Speaker 1: somebody who might be able to turn into something za.

489
00:26:04,119 --> 00:26:07,840
Speaker 1: Where's Zappy going in the draft? Where's our buddy? I

490
00:26:07,960 --> 00:26:10,880
Speaker 1: think he's probably Uh, you're I mean, that's a that's

491
00:26:10,920 --> 00:26:15,280
Speaker 1: not a bad spot to be thinking about fourth ish,

492
00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:19,280
Speaker 1: probably fourth fifth range for a guy like Bailey Zappy.

493
00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:23,520
Speaker 1: I mean, obviously I am um inclined to look at

494
00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:25,840
Speaker 1: a guy like E. J. Perry from mile m matter

495
00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:28,119
Speaker 1: and think he be a guy of teams will look

496
00:26:28,160 --> 00:26:31,080
Speaker 1: at in the fifth, sixth round, probably sixth round. Um.

497
00:26:31,359 --> 00:26:34,520
Speaker 1: From that standpoint, I don't it's you know, it's interesting

498
00:26:34,600 --> 00:26:37,320
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins. Thinking back to that draft in twenty twelve,

499
00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:39,919
Speaker 1: I think Cousins was one of those guys you kind

500
00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:41,720
Speaker 1: of look at him think, man, was he just completely

501
00:26:41,840 --> 00:26:44,960
Speaker 1: totally underrated. I think a guy that could fall into

502
00:26:45,040 --> 00:26:47,840
Speaker 1: that category this year might be a Carson Strong. Carson

503
00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:51,600
Speaker 1: Strong round in Nevada six four two fifty two twenty

504
00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:55,840
Speaker 1: plus arm makes pretty much every throw in a field.

505
00:26:56,040 --> 00:27:00,199
Speaker 1: Not a mobile guy at all, and that sets him

506
00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:01,760
Speaker 1: back a little bit because he is pretty much a

507
00:27:01,800 --> 00:27:05,680
Speaker 1: pocket slot. But from that standpoint, he's decently athletic. He

508
00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:08,400
Speaker 1: could throw it um And maybe that's a guy the Giants,

509
00:27:08,720 --> 00:27:11,800
Speaker 1: you know, Brian day Ball sinks his teeth two and goes, hey, man, okay,

510
00:27:11,840 --> 00:27:15,639
Speaker 1: this could be the version of Kirk Cousins Um, and

511
00:27:16,040 --> 00:27:17,960
Speaker 1: what you obviously mean by that is an early day

512
00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:20,280
Speaker 1: three guy that could come in and give you something.

513
00:27:20,359 --> 00:27:23,520
Speaker 1: I mean, it's not over for the Giants with just

514
00:27:23,760 --> 00:27:26,960
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones and Tyrod Taylor. I can't believe Joe Shane

515
00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:29,720
Speaker 1: is gonna just go we're good, We're good, We're good.

516
00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:31,840
Speaker 1: I can't believe know he's a new GM. There's no

517
00:27:31,920 --> 00:27:34,560
Speaker 1: way he's not gonna He's not gonna do that. Um,

518
00:27:34,760 --> 00:27:39,240
Speaker 1: he's got some ammunition with I think picks five and seven.

519
00:27:39,359 --> 00:27:41,720
Speaker 1: I think he's got a couple in the top ten

520
00:27:41,760 --> 00:27:44,600
Speaker 1: if I remember correctly. But yeah, point being, they can

521
00:27:44,720 --> 00:27:48,159
Speaker 1: they can do some maneuvering and maybe they could find it.

522
00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:50,960
Speaker 1: Maybe they could find one of these quarterbacks in the

523
00:27:51,119 --> 00:27:53,320
Speaker 1: first round later kind of move around a little bit

524
00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:55,600
Speaker 1: and find one a little bit later in the twenties.

525
00:27:55,720 --> 00:27:58,480
Speaker 1: Maybe they can find one down there and that would

526
00:27:58,480 --> 00:28:02,919
Speaker 1: be the right fit. But yeah, it's interested. But Tyron's

527
00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:05,960
Speaker 1: making really solid backup money. I mean, this is not

528
00:28:06,080 --> 00:28:10,440
Speaker 1: just a flyer. This is entrenched backup type money, which

529
00:28:10,520 --> 00:28:13,919
Speaker 1: I found surprising from the Giants. But look, that's their issue,

530
00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:17,280
Speaker 1: but it's the Texans issue in that. Look, we weren't

531
00:28:17,320 --> 00:28:20,240
Speaker 1: completely closing the door. You and I weren't to a

532
00:28:20,359 --> 00:28:23,280
Speaker 1: return of Taylor to be the backup. I mean, I

533
00:28:23,320 --> 00:28:25,080
Speaker 1: didn't think it was gonna happen, but I thought it

534
00:28:25,119 --> 00:28:28,359
Speaker 1: could happen. Well, Jeff Driscoll's gonna make it a go

535
00:28:28,560 --> 00:28:30,680
Speaker 1: at quarterback again, but he's not going to be the

536
00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:33,600
Speaker 1: backup to Davis Mills in all likelihood. Somebody else is

537
00:28:33,640 --> 00:28:36,680
Speaker 1: coming in here. Are you drafting somebody? Are you getting

538
00:28:36,680 --> 00:28:39,040
Speaker 1: a veteran? I know you want somebody who you could

539
00:28:39,440 --> 00:28:42,320
Speaker 1: so called plug and play should something happen to Davis.

540
00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:46,920
Speaker 1: But I like this idea again of having somebody who

541
00:28:46,960 --> 00:28:50,120
Speaker 1: could flourish into something even greater or possibly. There's no

542
00:28:50,240 --> 00:28:54,080
Speaker 1: guarantee obviously, but I hate to call it a flyer

543
00:28:54,200 --> 00:28:56,000
Speaker 1: even I just want to. I just want to have

544
00:28:56,120 --> 00:29:00,640
Speaker 1: a guy who could possibly develop into a really good

545
00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:04,520
Speaker 1: NFL player, at least a really good backup ATFL quarterback. Yeah,

546
00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:07,280
Speaker 1: I'm I'm with you. Uh. You know a guy that

547
00:29:07,360 --> 00:29:09,200
Speaker 1: would be perfect for us would be a guy like

548
00:29:09,280 --> 00:29:13,239
Speaker 1: Colt McCoy the Cardinals. He's had to step in last year.

549
00:29:13,280 --> 00:29:14,800
Speaker 1: I think he won two or three ball games when

550
00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:16,800
Speaker 1: he had to step in for Kyler Murray. You know

551
00:29:16,800 --> 00:29:20,080
Speaker 1: another guy that another guy that I would I would consider. Now,

552
00:29:20,120 --> 00:29:23,320
Speaker 1: I don't know what his contractual situation is, and I'm

553
00:29:23,640 --> 00:29:26,520
Speaker 1: I should know it because his tamper buddy of mine

554
00:29:26,880 --> 00:29:32,760
Speaker 1: is Andy Dalton. M I don't know. Yeah, he's an

555
00:29:32,800 --> 00:29:36,560
Speaker 1: unrestricted free agent and Andy's from Katie from here. You know,

556
00:29:36,640 --> 00:29:39,480
Speaker 1: he's the kind of guy I think would be a

557
00:29:39,640 --> 00:29:42,360
Speaker 1: really good mentor to Davis Mills. I don't know that

558
00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:44,720
Speaker 1: he's had any connection with Pep Hamilton. And that's the

559
00:29:44,760 --> 00:29:46,680
Speaker 1: other thing you got to keep in mind is where

560
00:29:46,680 --> 00:29:49,800
Speaker 1: are the connections? Where are the connections to Pep Hamilton?

561
00:29:49,920 --> 00:29:56,200
Speaker 1: At what point did he just um, where are the

562
00:29:56,280 --> 00:30:00,840
Speaker 1: connections to to Pep Hamilton around the league? Uh? Where

563
00:30:00,880 --> 00:30:02,800
Speaker 1: I was gonna say, were they're any with the Chargers? Well,

564
00:30:02,840 --> 00:30:05,360
Speaker 1: when he was the arg it was Tyrode, so uh,

565
00:30:05,440 --> 00:30:08,320
Speaker 1: it can't be there. How about the Colts, Curtis Painter,

566
00:30:09,280 --> 00:30:11,400
Speaker 1: the Hassle I'm trying to think was there when he

567
00:30:11,480 --> 00:30:14,600
Speaker 1: was there? But point being, that's that's the other thing

568
00:30:14,760 --> 00:30:16,120
Speaker 1: is how do you you know, can you connect the

569
00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:19,680
Speaker 1: knots between Pep Hamilton and someone? But it guy like

570
00:30:19,760 --> 00:30:23,320
Speaker 1: Andy Dalton's unrestricted free agent. I don't know what his

571
00:30:23,840 --> 00:30:26,080
Speaker 1: he is he because I have him with the Bears.

572
00:30:26,160 --> 00:30:30,840
Speaker 1: Let's see this, this is he's unrestricted free agent. Oh interesting, Well,

573
00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:32,880
Speaker 1: you never know. You never don't think of that direction

574
00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:35,840
Speaker 1: of guy who started a ton of games in the

575
00:30:35,920 --> 00:30:39,400
Speaker 1: National Football League, who could play for you if you

576
00:30:39,520 --> 00:30:43,360
Speaker 1: needed him too, or a much younger player who might

577
00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:45,760
Speaker 1: be maybe he's a veteran, but he's a younger player

578
00:30:46,040 --> 00:30:48,440
Speaker 1: who still has a lot of room for improvement. You've

579
00:30:48,440 --> 00:30:51,120
Speaker 1: seen the best of Andy Dalton. So I'm not sure

580
00:30:51,160 --> 00:30:53,720
Speaker 1: if that's where they want to go with that backup position,

581
00:30:53,840 --> 00:30:56,680
Speaker 1: but it's out there now because Taylor is a giant.

582
00:30:56,920 --> 00:30:59,440
Speaker 1: You have Driscoll here, but again he's going from quarterback

583
00:30:59,480 --> 00:31:01,800
Speaker 1: to tight end, back to quarterback recovering from an injury.

584
00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:05,000
Speaker 1: We'll see how that goes, all right, some thumbnails on

585
00:31:05,200 --> 00:31:08,560
Speaker 1: some players here, Johnny, if you will. I looked at

586
00:31:08,600 --> 00:31:12,440
Speaker 1: the Abuehi and aj Can signings as and again this

587
00:31:12,560 --> 00:31:14,320
Speaker 1: is all reports or whatever. I want to be clear

588
00:31:14,400 --> 00:31:17,080
Speaker 1: on that, but I looked at that as depth and

589
00:31:17,480 --> 00:31:19,960
Speaker 1: insurance and that kind of thing. I'm not so sure

590
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:23,280
Speaker 1: you're sliding those guys right into the starting lineup, particularly

591
00:31:23,400 --> 00:31:25,680
Speaker 1: since we don't even know what the draft capitol will

592
00:31:25,760 --> 00:31:28,240
Speaker 1: be after the big trade, and there are some attractive

593
00:31:28,400 --> 00:31:33,520
Speaker 1: offensive lineman available up high. Yes, very true. I would

594
00:31:33,560 --> 00:31:38,480
Speaker 1: think the only three things you probably know two of

595
00:31:38,600 --> 00:31:41,560
Speaker 1: them and would say for sure you left tackles Larremy Tunsel,

596
00:31:41,600 --> 00:31:43,680
Speaker 1: You're right, tackles Titus Howard. I would imagine those are

597
00:31:43,720 --> 00:31:48,680
Speaker 1: the two things you know about your offensive line. Justin Britt,

598
00:31:48,760 --> 00:31:51,600
Speaker 1: you would think is gonna be the starter at center?

599
00:31:52,040 --> 00:31:55,080
Speaker 1: You would you would Jimmy played well, Jimmy, Jimmy did

600
00:31:55,520 --> 00:31:57,480
Speaker 1: step up and do some things. And look both Britt

601
00:31:57,520 --> 00:31:59,800
Speaker 1: and Morse. I mean everybody, everybody's got their own their

602
00:31:59,800 --> 00:32:01,680
Speaker 1: own thing. I mean even Laramie. I mean Laramie can

603
00:32:01,720 --> 00:32:04,160
Speaker 1: improve in the run game. There's no doubt to get

604
00:32:04,160 --> 00:32:05,840
Speaker 1: a little bit more displacement in the run game. But

605
00:32:06,040 --> 00:32:08,040
Speaker 1: from that standpoint, the two things you know for sure,

606
00:32:08,240 --> 00:32:11,920
Speaker 1: Tunsel Howard, they manned the edges that you know on

607
00:32:12,080 --> 00:32:15,680
Speaker 1: the inside. Justin McCray, he's still around. You got Max

608
00:32:15,720 --> 00:32:18,160
Speaker 1: Sharping still around, and Max played better the last half

609
00:32:18,200 --> 00:32:21,480
Speaker 1: of the year. I think there are some interior player.

610
00:32:21,480 --> 00:32:23,920
Speaker 1: Oh then you mentioned aj Cann, who played a lot

611
00:32:24,200 --> 00:32:28,520
Speaker 1: in Jacksonville for George Warhop and we've said this before,

612
00:32:29,400 --> 00:32:31,800
Speaker 1: feeling comfortable. You're a new coach in his situation. You

613
00:32:31,840 --> 00:32:34,440
Speaker 1: want to feel comfortable with the guys in the room

614
00:32:34,480 --> 00:32:35,880
Speaker 1: while you look there and you see a guy that

615
00:32:35,960 --> 00:32:37,880
Speaker 1: you've been in the room with for the last three years,

616
00:32:37,920 --> 00:32:43,320
Speaker 1: so that is always very helpful. So you've got that situation.

617
00:32:43,480 --> 00:32:47,120
Speaker 1: But to me, you've got interior offensive line. You still

618
00:32:47,160 --> 00:32:49,120
Speaker 1: got to figure that out. I think you still have

619
00:32:49,200 --> 00:32:51,880
Speaker 1: to figure that out. Who's playing guard. I think you

620
00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:54,960
Speaker 1: can be better at the guard positions, whether that's improvement

621
00:32:55,040 --> 00:32:57,520
Speaker 1: with guys you have in the roster or finding some

622
00:32:57,680 --> 00:33:00,760
Speaker 1: young guys. And there are some young interior offensive lineman

623
00:33:01,280 --> 00:33:05,880
Speaker 1: in this draft class that I really really like. Whether

624
00:33:05,920 --> 00:33:08,680
Speaker 1: it's Jamari Sawyer from out of Georgia who bumping the guard,

625
00:33:08,800 --> 00:33:12,280
Speaker 1: Dealing Palm from Memphis who I think it just continues

626
00:33:12,360 --> 00:33:14,920
Speaker 1: to rise. Those are two guys that I definitely have

627
00:33:15,040 --> 00:33:19,240
Speaker 1: my eyes on. The interior. Zion Johnson from Boston College

628
00:33:19,680 --> 00:33:22,920
Speaker 1: may eventually get into the bottom of the first round,

629
00:33:22,960 --> 00:33:26,480
Speaker 1: but he's sitting there at thirty five man jump all over.

630
00:33:26,720 --> 00:33:29,520
Speaker 1: Zion Johnson from out of Boston College, who's got a

631
00:33:29,600 --> 00:33:32,160
Speaker 1: ton of position versatility, but can be a day one

632
00:33:32,320 --> 00:33:34,680
Speaker 1: starter at guard and you wouldn't have to move him

633
00:33:34,680 --> 00:33:36,960
Speaker 1: for the next ten to twelve years. He's got like

634
00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:40,440
Speaker 1: a he's got like a one handicap in golf, like

635
00:33:40,480 --> 00:33:43,720
Speaker 1: he's a tremendous golfer. And started his career at Davidson

636
00:33:44,200 --> 00:33:46,400
Speaker 1: and then went to Boston College. Just put on a

637
00:33:46,440 --> 00:33:48,480
Speaker 1: show at the Senior Bolts. Fantastic. He played the whole

638
00:33:48,480 --> 00:33:50,920
Speaker 1: week at center, so Zion Johnson. If he's sitting there

639
00:33:50,920 --> 00:33:53,040
Speaker 1: at thirty five, I would jump all over. I still

640
00:33:53,120 --> 00:33:56,360
Speaker 1: think you can improve that interior offensive line, but you

641
00:33:56,480 --> 00:34:00,200
Speaker 1: know you've got the two stalwarts. But you're right way

642
00:34:00,240 --> 00:34:03,200
Speaker 1: he can. I guess he can fighting for a starting position.

643
00:34:03,240 --> 00:34:05,000
Speaker 1: Of way, he and Charlie Hack are gonna push for

644
00:34:05,080 --> 00:34:10,279
Speaker 1: that swing tackle spot. Okay, So I'm gonna lump these

645
00:34:10,400 --> 00:34:15,120
Speaker 1: next players into one group. Anthony and Claire, Pharaoh Brown,

646
00:34:15,320 --> 00:34:19,200
Speaker 1: Chris Conley, Chris Moore. They're one group to me in

647
00:34:19,400 --> 00:34:22,239
Speaker 1: that they've been here, they know the lay of the land.

648
00:34:22,520 --> 00:34:25,800
Speaker 1: Coaches are very familiar with them. They're familiar with the coaches.

649
00:34:26,239 --> 00:34:29,160
Speaker 1: And again, you're rounding out the roster, you're filling out

650
00:34:29,200 --> 00:34:31,879
Speaker 1: a ninety man roster here, we'll see where it goes.

651
00:34:32,320 --> 00:34:36,359
Speaker 1: I believe that they will acquire more talent at each

652
00:34:36,400 --> 00:34:39,759
Speaker 1: of these positions, receiver and tight end, either through the

653
00:34:39,880 --> 00:34:43,760
Speaker 1: draft or free agency or both. Definitely through the draft.

654
00:34:44,040 --> 00:34:47,879
Speaker 1: Young players upside potential, but they don't have to step

655
00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:51,120
Speaker 1: in day one and start for you in September when

656
00:34:51,160 --> 00:34:53,319
Speaker 1: you open the season. Yeah. The great thing you got

657
00:34:53,360 --> 00:34:55,480
Speaker 1: going is the fact that last year you got an

658
00:34:55,520 --> 00:34:58,359
Speaker 1: ego and brev in the in the draft last year,

659
00:34:58,400 --> 00:35:01,000
Speaker 1: and those guys see me, you're gonna pa out. I'll

660
00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:03,560
Speaker 1: be brutally honest. Tight Ends gotta play better. Tight Ends

661
00:35:03,640 --> 00:35:07,640
Speaker 1: got to play better. I think that Anthony It does

662
00:35:07,719 --> 00:35:10,600
Speaker 1: a decent job in a run blocking. Pararell's gotta be better.

663
00:35:10,920 --> 00:35:12,719
Speaker 1: I'll just be honest. He's got to be better. He's

664
00:35:12,719 --> 00:35:15,960
Speaker 1: got to stop the fifteen yard penalty. Nonsense. That sort

665
00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:18,800
Speaker 1: of thing has gotta it's gotta. It's got to improve.

666
00:35:19,080 --> 00:35:21,960
Speaker 1: It really does. And whether that's with you know, drafting

667
00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:24,080
Speaker 1: a tight end that comes along and pushes. This is

668
00:35:24,080 --> 00:35:27,719
Speaker 1: an interesting tight end class because it really is a

669
00:35:27,840 --> 00:35:31,719
Speaker 1: lot of really athletic pass catchers and then you've got

670
00:35:32,160 --> 00:35:34,640
Speaker 1: some guys that really, man, you're gonna put them at

671
00:35:34,640 --> 00:35:36,400
Speaker 1: why tight end. You're not gonna throw them the football.

672
00:35:36,840 --> 00:35:39,400
Speaker 1: So it's kind of mixed across the board. And a

673
00:35:39,440 --> 00:35:42,600
Speaker 1: wide receiver, pooh man. Shut it down there there dudes

674
00:35:42,600 --> 00:35:45,040
Speaker 1: all over the place. You want slots, you want bigs,

675
00:35:45,480 --> 00:35:48,680
Speaker 1: you want multi threat guys, you want weapon X guys.

676
00:35:48,880 --> 00:35:52,239
Speaker 1: This drafted wide receiver is ridiculous. So the thing that's

677
00:35:52,320 --> 00:35:55,439
Speaker 1: nice about that is you can get big receiver later.

678
00:35:55,560 --> 00:35:57,600
Speaker 1: You can get a slot receiver later, you can get

679
00:35:57,640 --> 00:36:00,480
Speaker 1: a weapon X later. You don't have to a first

680
00:36:00,600 --> 00:36:03,160
Speaker 1: round pick on one of those guys. You don't even

681
00:36:03,200 --> 00:36:04,960
Speaker 1: have to put a second round pick. You could maybe

682
00:36:05,640 --> 00:36:07,840
Speaker 1: get a late second depending on what you do in

683
00:36:07,920 --> 00:36:09,600
Speaker 1: the second round and what you get back in a

684
00:36:09,680 --> 00:36:12,719
Speaker 1: trade potentially, or maybe the beginning of the third round.

685
00:36:12,760 --> 00:36:15,600
Speaker 1: You're gonna be able to find I think a receiver

686
00:36:15,840 --> 00:36:18,680
Speaker 1: or a playmaker and a tight end, and you're gonna

687
00:36:18,680 --> 00:36:21,560
Speaker 1: be able to find them on late round three. Yeah,

688
00:36:21,640 --> 00:36:24,520
Speaker 1: round three, on into Day three, and then you obviously

689
00:36:24,640 --> 00:36:26,480
Speaker 1: have to you gotta figure out the running back position

690
00:36:26,520 --> 00:36:28,640
Speaker 1: because with all the free agent stuff going on, what

691
00:36:28,719 --> 00:36:31,480
Speaker 1: have you done a running back? Nothing? And you have

692
00:36:31,600 --> 00:36:35,080
Speaker 1: Rex and Scottie and you've got Darius. Those are the

693
00:36:35,120 --> 00:36:38,480
Speaker 1: three guys you have. And it was sounded from what

694
00:36:38,680 --> 00:36:41,040
Speaker 1: Lovey Smith said at the combine that running back was

695
00:36:41,080 --> 00:36:43,880
Speaker 1: gonna be a focus in the draft. Well, let me

696
00:36:43,960 --> 00:36:46,759
Speaker 1: introduce you to one of the more versatile drafts from

697
00:36:46,800 --> 00:36:50,440
Speaker 1: a running back standpoint. I went into last year's running

698
00:36:50,440 --> 00:36:52,239
Speaker 1: back class and everybody's like, all the running backs aren't

699
00:36:52,320 --> 00:36:54,239
Speaker 1: very good. There's kind of saying that this year a

700
00:36:54,280 --> 00:36:56,840
Speaker 1: little bit too. I think this running back class is

701
00:36:57,000 --> 00:36:59,120
Speaker 1: really dynamic, and I think the Texas can come out

702
00:36:59,160 --> 00:37:02,160
Speaker 1: of there with a three down back and also a

703
00:37:02,360 --> 00:37:05,920
Speaker 1: third down back. They can get both that can compliment

704
00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:08,040
Speaker 1: one another in this draft, and hopefully with the number

705
00:37:08,040 --> 00:37:10,719
Speaker 1: of picks, they'll be able to get both. All right,

706
00:37:10,800 --> 00:37:13,799
Speaker 1: let's go to the defense here, Johnny, because actually let's

707
00:37:13,840 --> 00:37:16,040
Speaker 1: do that after the break. Jeez, we can just ramble

708
00:37:16,080 --> 00:37:19,719

727
00:38:35,320 --> 00:38:38,040
Speaker 1: And I know I'm not in any rush too. Uh well, actually,

728
00:38:38,120 --> 00:38:41,360
Speaker 1: I'm I'm in a rush to build this team for

729
00:38:41,400 --> 00:38:43,279
Speaker 1: the future. That's how I have to put it. I

730
00:38:43,400 --> 00:38:46,040
Speaker 1: know it's a process, and I know that there's some

731
00:38:46,280 --> 00:38:51,759
Speaker 1: attractive pieces here. I think the Laramie reported restructuring is

732
00:38:51,880 --> 00:38:55,120
Speaker 1: interesting because your line is just gonna be better with

733
00:38:55,280 --> 00:38:59,799
Speaker 1: Laramie and everybody being happy upfront being coached by war Hoop.

734
00:39:00,120 --> 00:39:04,120
Speaker 1: As we move into twenty twenty two, Titus at right tackle.

735
00:39:04,200 --> 00:39:05,920
Speaker 1: Whatever they do in the draft, we talked about it

736
00:39:06,040 --> 00:39:09,200
Speaker 1: during this show. That's cool you mentioned running back. We

737
00:39:09,520 --> 00:39:11,600
Speaker 1: still have a bit of a mystery there. We know

738
00:39:11,840 --> 00:39:14,279
Speaker 1: the quarterback is going to be but you never know

739
00:39:14,600 --> 00:39:16,120
Speaker 1: if they make one of these deals. You know a

740
00:39:16,160 --> 00:39:18,600
Speaker 1: couple of the teams that are involved in these deals,

741
00:39:18,640 --> 00:39:20,880
Speaker 1: and I know the reports are that the quarterbacks wouldn't

742
00:39:20,880 --> 00:39:24,160
Speaker 1: be involved that they have, but you never know until

743
00:39:24,160 --> 00:39:27,080
Speaker 1: you know. So we'll see. There's a lot of we'll

744
00:39:27,160 --> 00:39:29,360
Speaker 1: see going on. I get it. But that's what it is.

745
00:39:29,480 --> 00:39:31,160
Speaker 1: That's why you're on the edge of your seat. That's

746
00:39:31,200 --> 00:39:35,759
Speaker 1: why you're refreshing Twitter every few seconds. That's why you're

747
00:39:35,760 --> 00:39:37,800
Speaker 1: listening to Sports Radio six ten all day, which you

748
00:39:37,840 --> 00:39:41,120
Speaker 1: should be doing anyway. But that's why it's this time

749
00:39:41,200 --> 00:39:44,759
Speaker 1: of year, and it's incredibly exciting. It very much is.

750
00:39:45,000 --> 00:39:47,600
Speaker 1: And look, I will be the first to admit I

751
00:39:47,719 --> 00:39:51,239
Speaker 1: wish that we weren't going through this song and dance

752
00:39:51,360 --> 00:39:53,200
Speaker 1: right now. I wish we could be sitting back like

753
00:39:53,360 --> 00:39:56,600
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills with Kansas City Chiefs and just know

754
00:39:56,840 --> 00:40:00,359
Speaker 1: that the quarterback is set. Here's the thing I keep

755
00:40:00,400 --> 00:40:04,239
Speaker 1: coming I keep coming back to, and I want to

756
00:40:04,280 --> 00:40:08,880
Speaker 1: be very very clear. I'm not saying it's gonna happen,

757
00:40:09,840 --> 00:40:16,239
Speaker 1: but what if Davis is a massive hit? Yeah? I

758
00:40:16,320 --> 00:40:19,120
Speaker 1: mean that's a total home run right there. It's a

759
00:40:19,440 --> 00:40:24,759
Speaker 1: game changer. Where you got him in the draft hit? Yeah,

760
00:40:24,920 --> 00:40:27,160
Speaker 1: where you got him in the draft? You know, I

761
00:40:27,320 --> 00:40:30,919
Speaker 1: think that it was Look, even if it doesn't work,

762
00:40:31,320 --> 00:40:36,200
Speaker 1: it was worth the shot under the circumstances. Yes, And

763
00:40:36,320 --> 00:40:39,919
Speaker 1: we're a long way from finding out if it doesn't work.

764
00:40:40,600 --> 00:40:42,560
Speaker 1: And I think we're a long way from finding out

765
00:40:42,680 --> 00:40:45,480
Speaker 1: if it's gonna work. Great, because I think there's development

766
00:40:45,600 --> 00:40:49,319
Speaker 1: here right. I can't think of a better metaphor than

767
00:40:49,360 --> 00:40:51,160
Speaker 1: what I came up with Draft Day, which is you're

768
00:40:51,200 --> 00:40:54,680
Speaker 1: buying the bananas green and they're gonna ripen and then

769
00:40:54,840 --> 00:40:57,400
Speaker 1: you're gonna enjoy them, right, And that's what it is,

770
00:40:57,719 --> 00:41:00,640
Speaker 1: because he's ripening, and he did toward the end of

771
00:41:00,760 --> 00:41:03,160
Speaker 1: last season, and you want to see more. I left

772
00:41:03,200 --> 00:41:07,720
Speaker 1: the building week eighteen after that furious second half rally

773
00:41:07,760 --> 00:41:10,680
Speaker 1: against the Titans, thinking that was something that was something

774
00:41:10,800 --> 00:41:14,200
Speaker 1: right there that was pretty good. Yeah, and you left

775
00:41:14,280 --> 00:41:16,759
Speaker 1: the building thinking gotta add to it. You know, Danny

776
00:41:16,800 --> 00:41:20,160
Speaker 1: Amndola had a two touchdown catches in that game. You

777
00:41:20,280 --> 00:41:23,000
Speaker 1: got to find a way to get more out of

778
00:41:23,080 --> 00:41:27,360
Speaker 1: your receiving corps and get everybody back and continue to

779
00:41:27,440 --> 00:41:30,400
Speaker 1: build from there. All right, Wait, we didn't comment on this.

780
00:41:30,800 --> 00:41:33,080
Speaker 1: I think and it's not a sneaky good signing. It's

781
00:41:33,120 --> 00:41:36,920
Speaker 1: a solid good signing. MALIEK. Collins, I think Desi King

782
00:41:37,080 --> 00:41:40,040
Speaker 1: is a sneaky good signing. Your thoughts on those two

783
00:41:40,120 --> 00:41:44,000
Speaker 1: guys as you rebuild this defense, and we'll build it

784
00:41:44,120 --> 00:41:46,440
Speaker 1: further from where you had it last year, which I

785
00:41:46,560 --> 00:41:49,440
Speaker 1: know statistically wasn't that great when you look at yards

786
00:41:49,480 --> 00:41:51,560
Speaker 1: and points and things, but when you look at the

787
00:41:51,640 --> 00:41:55,959
Speaker 1: situational stuff and the takeaways very nice. Got to build

788
00:41:56,000 --> 00:42:00,800
Speaker 1: on that. Molik is a problem inside for he is

789
00:42:00,880 --> 00:42:03,080
Speaker 1: a problem. And I remember seeing the very first day

790
00:42:03,200 --> 00:42:06,399
Speaker 1: like his quickness, like you could see like, oh boy,

791
00:42:06,480 --> 00:42:10,359
Speaker 1: he is quick. The one thing that I also recognized

792
00:42:10,520 --> 00:42:15,640
Speaker 1: was how strong his hands are. We were in Jacksonville,

793
00:42:15,640 --> 00:42:20,640
Speaker 1: I think it was and he no, it's Tennessee. He

794
00:42:20,880 --> 00:42:25,879
Speaker 1: snatched up Dontro Hilliard, and Dontro Hilliard had his face mask.

795
00:42:25,960 --> 00:42:29,680
Speaker 1: It was like grabbing his face mask and pulling Malik's

796
00:42:29,719 --> 00:42:32,799
Speaker 1: face mask down, so like his whole body was being

797
00:42:32,920 --> 00:42:36,400
Speaker 1: pulled down. And Malik with one hand just took Hilliard

798
00:42:36,480 --> 00:42:39,680
Speaker 1: and just went and just grabbed him like you would

799
00:42:39,840 --> 00:42:42,160
Speaker 1: like your little kid, like you took Liam, but you

800
00:42:42,280 --> 00:42:44,840
Speaker 1: just like and you just pulled him right down to

801
00:42:44,960 --> 00:42:48,200
Speaker 1: the ground. And I was like, whoa, he's got what

802
00:42:48,320 --> 00:42:51,000
Speaker 1: you want. He is I mean love He said it perfectly,

803
00:42:51,080 --> 00:42:53,560
Speaker 1: and I felt like this during the year, and I

804
00:42:54,400 --> 00:42:57,560
Speaker 1: feel that way now. He is the perfect kind of

805
00:42:57,719 --> 00:43:00,600
Speaker 1: player when you think about love he Smith's defense. They've

806
00:43:00,680 --> 00:43:03,480
Speaker 1: had that three technique, as he called it, the under technique,

807
00:43:03,760 --> 00:43:05,840
Speaker 1: and it was Tommy Harris for a long time. And

808
00:43:06,280 --> 00:43:09,120
Speaker 1: Malik is built like Tommy Harris. I'm not saying that

809
00:43:09,200 --> 00:43:11,120
Speaker 1: he is Tommy Harris, but he's built like him, and

810
00:43:11,200 --> 00:43:13,760
Speaker 1: he has that quickness, he has that power. I loved,

811
00:43:14,280 --> 00:43:17,239
Speaker 1: I loved, loved getting Malie Collins back. I think this

812
00:43:17,440 --> 00:43:20,200
Speaker 1: is the right fit for him, This defense is the

813
00:43:20,320 --> 00:43:23,360
Speaker 1: right fit. I'm excited about MALIEK. Collins coming back. I

814
00:43:23,520 --> 00:43:25,960
Speaker 1: loved what des King gave to them. I'll be curious

815
00:43:26,000 --> 00:43:27,760
Speaker 1: if they want to keep him at corner or moving

816
00:43:27,840 --> 00:43:30,160
Speaker 1: back to the nickel. We'll see what happens. Maybe with

817
00:43:30,239 --> 00:43:32,240
Speaker 1: some draft picks. There are some things that move around.

818
00:43:32,840 --> 00:43:35,120
Speaker 1: But I was glad to see Desmond come back and

819
00:43:35,200 --> 00:43:37,280
Speaker 1: really excited for Malik to be part of that interior

820
00:43:37,280 --> 00:43:41,080
Speaker 1: with Roy Lopez, Ross Blacklocke and then Kingsley Kiki, a

821
00:43:41,120 --> 00:43:43,319
Speaker 1: guy we talked about last night being added to the mix.

822
00:43:43,520 --> 00:43:47,200
Speaker 1: Probably plays the three technique, just does it a little

823
00:43:47,239 --> 00:43:50,759
Speaker 1: differently than the other guys. He's a little bit more

824
00:43:51,000 --> 00:43:52,560
Speaker 1: I want to use the word finesse. That's not the

825
00:43:52,640 --> 00:43:55,239
Speaker 1: right word to use, but he's a little lighter than

826
00:43:55,560 --> 00:43:57,840
Speaker 1: the other guys, and so he's got to do with quickness.

827
00:43:57,880 --> 00:44:00,200
Speaker 1: He's got to do it getting up field. So that's

828
00:44:00,239 --> 00:44:02,000
Speaker 1: gonna be an interesting fit. But I'm really curious to

829
00:44:02,000 --> 00:44:04,120
Speaker 1: see what Kingsley Kiki, which cost you what the end

830
00:44:04,160 --> 00:44:06,160
Speaker 1: of his rookie contract, So I'm curious to see what

831
00:44:06,280 --> 00:44:09,960
Speaker 1: Kingsleakki brings as well. Yeah, interesting piece is all right.

832
00:44:10,000 --> 00:44:12,560
Speaker 1: When we hit the airwaves tomorrow at six, will the

833
00:44:12,719 --> 00:44:15,759
Speaker 1: deal be done? The league year will have commenced. Three
