Razzo Tasole touchdown, the tustands 3 00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:14,080 Speaker 1: and the Texans go in front.

Five nights a week, 7 00:00:25,520 --> 00:00:29,120 Speaker 1: they hits, keep on coming, call us out.

Really, because camp has been underway and 20 00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:11,840 Speaker 1: today it feels like the start of camp. But it's 21 00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:14,520 Speaker 1: really started already. It's just the first time we got 22 00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:18,280 Speaker 1: the cameras rolling on the Houston Texans and speaking of that, 23 00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:21,760 Speaker 1: coverage on Houston Texans dot Com, the Texans app, it 24 00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:24,479 Speaker 1: is loaded. You want to read Johnny's thoughts on practice, 25 00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:27,080 Speaker 1: read it there, my thoughts on what went down today, 26 00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:30,199 Speaker 1: Read it there. Drew's got a column deep, he's got stuff, 27 00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:33,160 Speaker 1: We've got interviews. It's all there, and we're adding to 28 00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:36,080 Speaker 1: it throughout the night and into tomorrow's practice. So Johnny, 29 00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:41,120 Speaker 1: inquiring minds want to know, and I'm gonna ask you 30 00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:45,319 Speaker 1: some questions here, Okay, about what you saw today? First, First, 31 00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:50,080 Speaker 1: give me give me a general takeaway. You're the top 32 00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:52,920 Speaker 1: takeaway of the day without mentioning even a player, as 33 00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:55,960 Speaker 1: to what you saw today at the practice bubble. Yeah, 34 00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:59,120 Speaker 1: I thought one of the things in being at I 35 00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:02,240 Speaker 1: believe every training camp practice for the last seven years, 36 00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:04,920 Speaker 1: I don't think I've missed one dating back to twenty fourteen, 37 00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:07,320 Speaker 1: and I haven't missed a lot even before that, dating 38 00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:08,880 Speaker 1: back to oh seven. There's a few when I was 39 00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:11,280 Speaker 1: doing overnights, but it felt like it was the cleanest 40 00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:15,320 Speaker 1: and most crisp practice that I've seen from the Texans. 41 00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:19,240 Speaker 1: It just felt like that, you know, from drill to drill, 42 00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:21,600 Speaker 1: guys were just very clean, bald and hit the ground 43 00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:23,760 Speaker 1: a lot of times. There were not a bunch of 44 00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:27,760 Speaker 1: fumbles and turnovers, bat snaps and those kind of things. 45 00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:31,080 Speaker 1: If I remember correct, there's maybe one false start, maybe 46 00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:36,480 Speaker 1: one offside penalty if that's low. It felt it. And 47 00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:38,640 Speaker 1: now there might have been at some pass rush stuff 48 00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:41,000 Speaker 1: one on one, but I didn't. I didn't. I couldn't 49 00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:43,520 Speaker 1: see as much of that. Uh, it's kind of going 50 00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:45,359 Speaker 1: back and forth. You know, your eyes do that when 51 00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:47,639 Speaker 1: you got one on one's wide receivers and dbs and 52 00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:50,800 Speaker 1: then you got pass rush going on. But in the 53 00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:53,160 Speaker 1: team stuff and the inside drill stuff, there seem to 54 00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:57,360 Speaker 1: be very few of those penalties, it felt like. And 55 00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:00,480 Speaker 1: then there have been years past where you good sense. 56 00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:03,200 Speaker 1: Bill O'Brien was trying to apply the juice like he 57 00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:05,840 Speaker 1: was trying to give, you know, the to give everybody 58 00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:07,600 Speaker 1: a little bit of a come on, let's get going. 59 00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:09,160 Speaker 1: You know, we need this, hey, we need you know, 60 00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:12,320 Speaker 1: and he would be vocal, but he was very calm throughout, 61 00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:16,520 Speaker 1: and he just like the veterans, just ran things. It 62 00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:18,760 Speaker 1: felt it felt like, I mean, obviously, you know, Tim 63 00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:20,440 Speaker 1: Kelly and Anthony we were calling to plays and doing 64 00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:22,640 Speaker 1: those kindings, but it just felt like it was so 65 00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:26,320 Speaker 1: clean that everybody knew exactly what they were supposed to do. 66 00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:30,760 Speaker 1: They then applied it on the field. There was not um, 67 00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:33,160 Speaker 1: you know, you know, there were a bunch of scuffles 68 00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:36,040 Speaker 1: and fights and all that kind of stuff. It just 69 00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:41,280 Speaker 1: was drill, drill, clean drill. And I will go back 70 00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:44,320 Speaker 1: to this thought. And I happened to be driving home 71 00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:48,080 Speaker 1: so I could get back to do radio tonight and um, 72 00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:50,040 Speaker 1: and as I was driving, I was listening to Clinton. 73 00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:52,040 Speaker 1: He's like, man, you know, I just would really like 74 00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:55,720 Speaker 1: to know liked Shaun like how you know, like for Deshaun, 75 00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:57,400 Speaker 1: like he really and I get that, you know, Dirty 76 00:03:57,400 --> 00:03:59,440 Speaker 1: reds being a quarterback. And so I was like, well, okay, 77 00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:01,760 Speaker 1: what I'm about to say is gonna be something I 78 00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:04,160 Speaker 1: think that Dirty Red's gonna want to hear. I hope 79 00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:10,200 Speaker 1: he does. But it felt like Deshaun Watson completely and 80 00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:13,400 Speaker 1: totally in charge. Now he's not calling his own plays, 81 00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:17,360 Speaker 1: he's not you know, going rogue or anything like that. 82 00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:20,720 Speaker 1: But it just felt like, yeah, the offense had some 83 00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:22,880 Speaker 1: issues a little bit early on trying to move the 84 00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:24,960 Speaker 1: ball in the defense when it was a particular drill 85 00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:27,320 Speaker 1: like it was when it was a definite throwing drill 86 00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:29,560 Speaker 1: or was a definite running drill, and they struggled a 87 00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:31,440 Speaker 1: little bit. But then when they went to a team drill. 88 00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:34,600 Speaker 1: They had a long team drill at the near the 89 00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:36,279 Speaker 1: end of practice and they started ball in like the 90 00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:38,040 Speaker 1: twenty five or the thirty yard line, and they drove 91 00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:40,760 Speaker 1: down the field and de Sean just my strode the 92 00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:42,760 Speaker 1: whole thing. He just he was up to the line 93 00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:44,240 Speaker 1: of scrimmage that had the play clock going. You could 94 00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:46,919 Speaker 1: see the play clock, and you know, it always felt 95 00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:48,640 Speaker 1: like and I want to make sure I say it's properly, 96 00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:50,880 Speaker 1: But there have been other there have been other times 97 00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:53,120 Speaker 1: when the Texas quarterbacks have been in that drill mark 98 00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:57,200 Speaker 1: and I would get really nervous. The clock starts winding 99 00:04:57,200 --> 00:05:00,640 Speaker 1: down twelve eleven, like, come on, Brock, what are we doing? 100 00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:03,080 Speaker 1: Brought Like, I found myself saying that a lot of 101 00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:06,920 Speaker 1: times I'm watching Deshan and that clock is it's down 102 00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:09,960 Speaker 1: at eleven. He's still looking at everything. He's kind of 103 00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:11,839 Speaker 1: looking at aikins. He's kind of looking at the defense, 104 00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:14,200 Speaker 1: kind of running it down the way he wants. He 105 00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:16,360 Speaker 1: gets about eight seconds, and I'm not panicked at all 106 00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:20,240 Speaker 1: because all of a sudden, turn right around, snap the ball, 107 00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:23,080 Speaker 1: and go. They never flirted with being a delay a 108 00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:26,840 Speaker 1: game or anything. He was completely in control when right 109 00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:29,000 Speaker 1: down the field it's Stevie Mitchell, a little quick out, 110 00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:31,480 Speaker 1: speed out who had slipped the tackle and then got 111 00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:33,920 Speaker 1: up the field for a touchdown. And he was just 112 00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:37,160 Speaker 1: he was he was maestrowing the thing, if that's if 113 00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:39,240 Speaker 1: that's a verb, he was my showing the thing the 114 00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:42,279 Speaker 1: whole way. He manned. He knew exactly where everybody need 115 00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:45,320 Speaker 1: to go. And the nice thing is the guys he 116 00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:48,320 Speaker 1: was with he didn't have He didn't have Fuller and 117 00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:51,360 Speaker 1: Cooks and cob today fully when he's doing those team drills. 118 00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:53,640 Speaker 1: But he had guys like Chad Hans he's been with 119 00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:55,360 Speaker 1: a couple of years. He's been with Steven Mitchell for 120 00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:56,880 Speaker 1: a couple of years. Is now a thirty year I 121 00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:59,200 Speaker 1: think with the Texans, you know, Aikins he's been with 122 00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:01,479 Speaker 1: with three years. You know Fells is now a second year. 123 00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:03,360 Speaker 1: You know, those guys were all on the same page 124 00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:06,479 Speaker 1: with him, which I thought was really interesting too, so 125 00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:08,040 Speaker 1: they could all look at the same they were seeing 126 00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:09,600 Speaker 1: the same thing through the same set of eyes, and 127 00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:12,160 Speaker 1: that's what allowed it to be so crisp. But it 128 00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:16,560 Speaker 1: just felt like the Sean taking that next step of 129 00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:22,320 Speaker 1: owning everything that offense does, and that with Tim Kelly 130 00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:24,600 Speaker 1: calling the plays and obviously still Bill Bryan still in 131 00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:27,280 Speaker 1: the house, a very strong offensive mind that they're gonna 132 00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:31,080 Speaker 1: be able to craft what they want, but being led 133 00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:34,520 Speaker 1: by the Shawn Watson, that to me is the one 134 00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:36,880 Speaker 1: thing that just I made it my first point in 135 00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:39,800 Speaker 1: my Harris Hits because yeah, it's not you know, the 136 00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:43,039 Speaker 1: specific detail that I go into about the different plays 137 00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:46,160 Speaker 1: and things, but watching de Sean just manage everything to 138 00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:48,920 Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage, I thought it was masterful and 139 00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:50,880 Speaker 1: I was so happy to see it's going to his 140 00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:54,120 Speaker 1: fourth year. You expect those things to happen, right, You 141 00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:57,520 Speaker 1: want to see those things happen, and now you're seeing them, 142 00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:01,039 Speaker 1: and it just gives I think the offense and everybody 143 00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:04,000 Speaker 1: there that much more confidence that they're going to be 144 00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:07,839 Speaker 1: able to move the football because he's leading the charge 145 00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:10,200 Speaker 1: out in the field. Well, I have a theory on this, 146 00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:14,120 Speaker 1: and before I get into that, you mentioned about certain 147 00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:16,920 Speaker 1: guys maybe not getting the full load of practice today, 148 00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:20,640 Speaker 1: and I think that it's important to point out Bill 149 00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:24,240 Speaker 1: O'Brien was on live with us as far as his 150 00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:26,800 Speaker 1: press conference today. We had that exclusive interview with him 151 00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:29,680 Speaker 1: as well this morning, and both times I believe he 152 00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:33,400 Speaker 1: said listen, there's He didn't use the term load management 153 00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:35,640 Speaker 1: like you hear at the NBA when guys are missing games. 154 00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:38,040 Speaker 1: But that's what it is, right, It's load management on 155 00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:43,280 Speaker 1: the vets. It's maybe giving some other guys reps. It's 156 00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:45,480 Speaker 1: we have a long season and we want to have 157 00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:48,080 Speaker 1: everybody as healthy as possible. And I think things have 158 00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:51,560 Speaker 1: changed over the years now. There was no offseason program. 159 00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:54,120 Speaker 1: But remember the first year of Bill O'Brien as the 160 00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:59,200 Speaker 1: Houston Texans head coach. They're out there hot sun August, 161 00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:03,640 Speaker 1: ridiculous opening day training camp practice, and then they have 162 00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:10,240 Speaker 1: gassers afterwards. It was like Junction Boys East and Yes, 163 00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:13,480 Speaker 1: And I thought, oh boy, it's there's a new sheriff 164 00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:15,800 Speaker 1: in town. Look, I want to ask him about that 165 00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:18,200 Speaker 1: at some point. I'm gonna wait for the right opportunity, 166 00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:20,040 Speaker 1: but I want to ask him about that at some point, 167 00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:22,440 Speaker 1: but things have changed now. It would change anyway because 168 00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:25,600 Speaker 1: there's no off season program, right and they're gonna ramp 169 00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:27,320 Speaker 1: up and they're gonna do all those things. But I 170 00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:32,319 Speaker 1: believe everything you're saying about the coordinators. And look, these 171 00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:35,760 Speaker 1: are first year coordinators really well, Tim Kelly first year 172 00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:38,960 Speaker 1: to play caller and Anthony Weaver first year DC and 173 00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:43,480 Speaker 1: Tracy Smith first year special teams coordinator. But he trusts them, 174 00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:46,480 Speaker 1: and you you just get that feeling and you know 175 00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:49,400 Speaker 1: he's older and wiser and these guys are ready, and 176 00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:52,320 Speaker 1: that's that's a good thing. That's a great point. You 177 00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:56,079 Speaker 1: make one other thing, Johnny on Watson, not only is 178 00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:58,880 Speaker 1: it the fourth year and it's like the fourth it's 179 00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:02,040 Speaker 1: the fourth album we did the studio. We came out 180 00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:05,280 Speaker 1: with all classics, Smoke on the Water or whatever it is. 181 00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:09,800 Speaker 1: But not only that, but no nuke. Now, I'm not 182 00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:13,000 Speaker 1: saying you're better off without Hopkins, believe me, because you 183 00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:15,959 Speaker 1: know that's he's awesome, right, But we talk about what 184 00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:18,640 Speaker 1: you've added, and you've added some great weapons and the 185 00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:22,600 Speaker 1: arsenal when you know, the whole might be greater when 186 00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:24,880 Speaker 1: you add all these guys together. We'll see. But the 187 00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:29,360 Speaker 1: other thing is this, No Nuke means Watson. It's Watson's offense. 188 00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:32,440 Speaker 1: You know, he's not that Nuke ran it. I mean 189 00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:34,400 Speaker 1: Nuke was a receiver. You know. He needs somebody to 190 00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:36,560 Speaker 1: throw on the ball. Watson's always been the quarterback and 191 00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:38,480 Speaker 1: for the last three years prior to this. I get it, 192 00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:40,800 Speaker 1: I get it, I get it. But there's just something 193 00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:44,920 Speaker 1: psychological about that, isn't there. Maybe that he he's got 194 00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:47,920 Speaker 1: to take over at an even higher level now and 195 00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:52,920 Speaker 1: he's older, so it's gonna happen anyway. Maybe, Yeah, absolutely, 196 00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:54,920 Speaker 1: I don't. I don't. I think you hit on it. 197 00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:59,280 Speaker 1: And there, you know, with a guy like Hop, you know, 198 00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:01,040 Speaker 1: there was such rely at him on third down, like 199 00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:03,240 Speaker 1: hey look man, I just gotta get this ball to Hop. 200 00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:06,239 Speaker 1: And sometimes you force things when there are other things available. 201 00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:09,640 Speaker 1: And it's gonna be really interesting to see how it 202 00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:12,760 Speaker 1: shakes out. And like I said, we didn't see a 203 00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:15,640 Speaker 1: ton of the top four receivers because Kenny is still 204 00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:18,960 Speaker 1: working back from the NFI illness. But he popped his 205 00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:22,360 Speaker 1: head in and was watching practice and hopefully we'll get 206 00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:26,400 Speaker 1: Kenny back at some point. Because I listened whether Kenny's 207 00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:29,960 Speaker 1: the fourth receiver, third receiver whatever. I know, Kenny Stills 208 00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:32,360 Speaker 1: makes place for his team, and Sean talked about it 209 00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:34,760 Speaker 1: in a press conference about how much he and Kenny 210 00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:37,440 Speaker 1: have worked together this offseason, so you know there's got 211 00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:40,120 Speaker 1: to be you know, there's synergy there. But even without 212 00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:44,679 Speaker 1: having you know, a good stretch of practice today with Will, 213 00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:47,320 Speaker 1: with Brandon and with with Cobb. And I'm gonna get 214 00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:48,800 Speaker 1: to those guys in a second, two because it did 215 00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:52,480 Speaker 1: see some of those guys, in particular Cooks and really Cobb, 216 00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:54,600 Speaker 1: and I'll get to that in a second. But I 217 00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:57,680 Speaker 1: think you're right Mark. I think defenses now, as we 218 00:10:57,679 --> 00:11:01,960 Speaker 1: talked a little bit about this morning, how do you attack? 219 00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:04,839 Speaker 1: Because third down it was automatically, you just take away ten. 220 00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:07,040 Speaker 1: I mean you could see you remember Belichick when he 221 00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:08,959 Speaker 1: was miked up that Thursday night game when we played 222 00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:11,600 Speaker 1: them in sixteen, and you see him on the sidelines 223 00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:15,240 Speaker 1: with all ten fingers up going tan double ten, double ten, 224 00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:18,880 Speaker 1: like take away Hopkins. It was. It was there was 225 00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:21,360 Speaker 1: no surprise to it. Everybody knew it, and we just 226 00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:25,199 Speaker 1: at that point, I really didn't have anybody to counter, Well, Okay, 227 00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:27,079 Speaker 1: what are they gonna be saying, now which you guy 228 00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:31,600 Speaker 1: gonna double? Now you're gonna double Cooks Fuller. I mean 229 00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:34,120 Speaker 1: you're probably best off doubling Fuller, I guess. But now 230 00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:35,840 Speaker 1: you're gonna leave Brandon Cooks one on one on a 231 00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:37,640 Speaker 1: number two corner, or you're gonna put the number one 232 00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:40,360 Speaker 1: corner on Cooks, the number two corner on Fuller with 233 00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:44,280 Speaker 1: help and a number three corner on Cob or on Stills. Well, 234 00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:46,240 Speaker 1: Tennessee found out what happened when you do that right, 235 00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:49,920 Speaker 1: Tennessee got roasted Logan Ryan and Lashawn Sims Bang bang 236 00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:53,199 Speaker 1: two touchdowns Kenny Stills. So you gotta try to pick 237 00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:55,160 Speaker 1: your poison with those guys, And I think it's just 238 00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:58,520 Speaker 1: if that's the way you're gonna go about doing it, 239 00:11:58,520 --> 00:12:01,640 Speaker 1: it's you're gonna you're gonna go You're gonna fall into 240 00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:04,720 Speaker 1: a world a hurt from that from that standpoint. So, um, 241 00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:08,240 Speaker 1: I think you have a lot of different options in 242 00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:10,520 Speaker 1: the passing game. We talked about all offseason, but seeing 243 00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:13,560 Speaker 1: it today like whoa and then seeing I got like 244 00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:16,520 Speaker 1: Randall cop because Randall Cob is gonna be so instrument 245 00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:18,400 Speaker 1: I talked about it on the show today as I 246 00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:21,199 Speaker 1: was walking out for radio. I see Randall Cobb walking 247 00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:25,000 Speaker 1: right at me, like, this is It's insane. It's so surreal, 248 00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:27,320 Speaker 1: um in something. It was like when we did our 249 00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:29,640 Speaker 1: first interview with Tyron Matthew, remember we had Tye and 250 00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:32,280 Speaker 1: I just was I was floored. I was like, this 251 00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:33,800 Speaker 1: is one of my favorite Cops players of all time. 252 00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:35,120 Speaker 1: It's one of my favorite players of all time, and 253 00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:39,480 Speaker 1: just sitting in front of me this Wow. It was surreal. 254 00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:41,079 Speaker 1: And it was kind of like that was Randall cop 255 00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:43,440 Speaker 1: because we've seen him on Sunday Night Football with Aaron 256 00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:46,400 Speaker 1: Rodgers for so dang long and no he and he 257 00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:50,440 Speaker 1: killed us in that uh game, right, he was just 258 00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:54,120 Speaker 1: destroyed us. So having him out there and you just 259 00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:57,880 Speaker 1: watch you watch him work, and you're like, that's a vet, 260 00:12:57,880 --> 00:13:01,319 Speaker 1: that's a pro because everything that he did, you know, 261 00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:03,480 Speaker 1: when he ran his route, it wasn't just Okay, I've 262 00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:05,439 Speaker 1: got to run this route and get to this spot, 263 00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:08,520 Speaker 1: it's how do I get to that spot? And it's 264 00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:10,599 Speaker 1: maybe just a little bit of a juke route or 265 00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:13,760 Speaker 1: a little pivot route or whatever, but it's just how 266 00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:16,320 Speaker 1: he's doing it and the timing and the temple and 267 00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:18,120 Speaker 1: everything he's doing it with and I can't really, I 268 00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:20,800 Speaker 1: can't wait to see how that looks when they do 269 00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:23,200 Speaker 1: face a defensive seven on seven and they really do 270 00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:26,600 Speaker 1: incorporate those guys and we get to see that aspect 271 00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:29,520 Speaker 1: of it. But Randall, to me, is going to end 272 00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:32,720 Speaker 1: up being a big factor. And like you said about 273 00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:37,080 Speaker 1: Kiki Qt, don't forget about him. Those two are really working, 274 00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:39,040 Speaker 1: you know, talking to each other a lot. Randalls really 275 00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:41,920 Speaker 1: trying to help Keki Man. Playing that slop position isn't easy, man. 276 00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:43,880 Speaker 1: Everybody things, well, you know, just run these little routes 277 00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:45,960 Speaker 1: like Edelman, You just you know, do a little shake 278 00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:48,600 Speaker 1: and you turn around the balls there. Man, do you 279 00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:50,560 Speaker 1: know how long it took Edelman to get to that 280 00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:54,360 Speaker 1: with Brady. It didn't happen overnight. It didn't happen overnight, 281 00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:56,560 Speaker 1: you know, because at that point Edeman, his young play 282 00:13:56,640 --> 00:13:58,560 Speaker 1: had to grow into it. At least it Randall. Randall's 283 00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:01,199 Speaker 1: been through it. He can say to Sean, Hey, we 284 00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:04,880 Speaker 1: did you know I would do this against this particular Look? 285 00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:07,040 Speaker 1: Do we like that? You like that? Let's talking about that? Okay, 286 00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:08,720 Speaker 1: let's work on that. And then they would work on it, 287 00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:11,520 Speaker 1: you know, So it's a little different. But you know, 288 00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:14,040 Speaker 1: Keki came in as a rookie, had some success last year. 289 00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:16,959 Speaker 1: I think his confidence, you know, took a hit after 290 00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:19,320 Speaker 1: he got injured kind of just never got really back 291 00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:21,120 Speaker 1: on track. He looks like he's back on track and 292 00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:22,800 Speaker 1: he's gonna be a gotta be reckoned with as well. 293 00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:26,440 Speaker 1: So yeah, hop is not there. There's no doubt, all right, 294 00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:28,720 Speaker 1: you know, but you move on with what you've got, 295 00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:30,160 Speaker 1: and I think they've got a group that they can 296 00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:33,680 Speaker 1: do something with all right in the backfield now. And 297 00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:35,880 Speaker 1: you weren't the only one to mention this, but David 298 00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:41,480 Speaker 1: Johnson looks impressive so far physically and looks like he 299 00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:43,960 Speaker 1: could turn into a nice thread of this offense. And look, 300 00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:48,040 Speaker 1: we all, we all have seen his work. It's very impressive. 301 00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:52,040 Speaker 1: The resume it dropped off a little bit injuries, whatever 302 00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:57,680 Speaker 1: system preference, but here he is and he looks good 303 00:14:57,680 --> 00:15:00,440 Speaker 1: to go for the Houston Texans in twenty twenty. Yeah, 304 00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:02,560 Speaker 1: just know that those people talking about her to getting 305 00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:06,320 Speaker 1: their confirmation from yours truly, just please know that. I'm 306 00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:08,680 Speaker 1: just I know, I know, I'm trying to be well. 307 00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:14,800 Speaker 1: We just heard a promo before, um, but uh yeah, 308 00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:17,920 Speaker 1: if if there was, if there was something to me, 309 00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:21,480 Speaker 1: like if you said, okay on a basket, don't hold back, 310 00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:24,440 Speaker 1: what what would you say about today's practice? And that 311 00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:27,240 Speaker 1: would have the first thing that I would have mentioned 312 00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:31,520 Speaker 1: was if David Johnson stays healthy and stays at this point, 313 00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:35,280 Speaker 1: we've asked McClean this question. We've asked the General. We said, look, general, 314 00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:38,200 Speaker 1: would you take fourteen hundred total yards offense and ten 315 00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:41,000 Speaker 1: touchdowns from David Johnson in twenty twenty? And she's well, 316 00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:43,600 Speaker 1: of course I would. Uh yeah, we all would. I'll 317 00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:45,920 Speaker 1: tell you this, if the David Johnson that we saw 318 00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:50,400 Speaker 1: it today stays healthy and stays available for sixteen games, 319 00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:54,800 Speaker 1: fourteen hundred and ten might be a little low because 320 00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:57,760 Speaker 1: he is a total yards of fourteen hundred. What you're saying, 321 00:15:57,880 --> 00:16:02,360 Speaker 1: he's a different looking back then what the Texans have had. 322 00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:05,480 Speaker 1: You think, Oh, Carlos Hyde was five eleven two twenty five, 323 00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:09,360 Speaker 1: so size wise the same, right, No, David Johnson's legit 324 00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:12,960 Speaker 1: six two, he's two thirty. I mean the first thing 325 00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:15,680 Speaker 1: that stands out are like I have body envy, Like, 326 00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:17,840 Speaker 1: oh my gosh, why couldn't I have been six two 327 00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:20,040 Speaker 1: two thirty. Why can't I look like that? He is 328 00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:22,760 Speaker 1: a freak of nature. We talked about his receiving skills. 329 00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:24,680 Speaker 1: You know what makes his receiving skills so good. His 330 00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:27,680 Speaker 1: hands are so damn good. His hands are so darn good. 331 00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:29,920 Speaker 1: He just has to have a half a step on 332 00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:32,680 Speaker 1: a guy and then reach out. There was some there 333 00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:35,720 Speaker 1: were receiver linebacker drills, and I feel for linebackers those 334 00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:37,920 Speaker 1: drills because they've got no help, They've got no pass rush, 335 00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:39,400 Speaker 1: and they got to just sit there and watch the 336 00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:41,320 Speaker 1: running backs do all these shake moves and try and 337 00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:43,800 Speaker 1: stay with them, and it's just really hard. Well, David 338 00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:45,360 Speaker 1: just gets half a step on a guy, be it 339 00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:49,120 Speaker 1: Zach or Bmack or whomever, and his hands are are 340 00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:51,960 Speaker 1: you know, glue sticks. So DeShawn just throws it to 341 00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:54,440 Speaker 1: the outside, he throws it to a point. David just 342 00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:56,920 Speaker 1: reaches out and just soft hands, bang, catch it, turn 343 00:16:56,960 --> 00:16:59,680 Speaker 1: up fields seven yard game like it's nothing like it's stealing. 344 00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:01,680 Speaker 1: That's coming out of the backfield. That's not even out 345 00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:03,920 Speaker 1: at receiver, that's just coming out of the backfield. But 346 00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:07,400 Speaker 1: to me, what stood out and I pointed this out 347 00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:11,400 Speaker 1: and you'll see this on Texans extra points. On Saturday night, 348 00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:14,359 Speaker 1: I did a tell straitor of David on a reception 349 00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:17,080 Speaker 1: that he had against the Panthers, and it really wasn't 350 00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:18,840 Speaker 1: about the reception because he was It was kind of 351 00:17:18,840 --> 00:17:20,680 Speaker 1: it was a broken play basically, and Kyle Murray just 352 00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:24,880 Speaker 1: saw him threw it to him and he shook Dante Jackson. 353 00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:27,760 Speaker 1: Then he made a cut on Shack Thompson who didn't 354 00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:29,680 Speaker 1: get a hand on him, and then he powered through 355 00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:31,399 Speaker 1: the last linebacker to get in the end zone. I 356 00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:33,000 Speaker 1: was like, that's the David Johnson. I want to see. 357 00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:35,160 Speaker 1: That's the David Johnson. I felt like I was watching 358 00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:37,760 Speaker 1: today when he ran the football and he ran those 359 00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:41,639 Speaker 1: zone cuts. He looked the way he was able to 360 00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:45,199 Speaker 1: make decisions without having to stop and cut. That was 361 00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:48,199 Speaker 1: Aryan like Arion was like that. Arion could make a 362 00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:53,600 Speaker 1: running decision where he was gonna cut without missing a step, 363 00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:56,440 Speaker 1: without slowing down, and a lot of backs can't do that. 364 00:17:56,560 --> 00:17:58,280 Speaker 1: They got to get in there and then jump cut 365 00:17:58,280 --> 00:18:02,920 Speaker 1: around and do that. He was making cuts and it 366 00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:06,680 Speaker 1: was easy and it was I wrote the words slippery 367 00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:08,920 Speaker 1: down because he just didn't seem to take a big 368 00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:11,880 Speaker 1: blow and at six two, two thirty one he runs upright, 369 00:18:12,320 --> 00:18:15,000 Speaker 1: you'd think, okay, he's got to take a shot. You know, 370 00:18:15,040 --> 00:18:17,720 Speaker 1: it's somebody that's a big target, and it just didn't 371 00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:20,920 Speaker 1: seem like everybody. He just kind of kept everybody off balance. 372 00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:23,520 Speaker 1: And he was just kind of gliding at one point 373 00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:25,280 Speaker 1: on a zone run, you know, on that drive I 374 00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:27,720 Speaker 1: was talking about with the Sean, He's kind of was 375 00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:32,280 Speaker 1: gliding through the he was kind of gliding through and past, 376 00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:35,280 Speaker 1: you know, the second and third level. And I thought, Dad, uh, 377 00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:39,880 Speaker 1: if we get that, are you man good? It's gracious? Now, 378 00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:44,320 Speaker 1: can't again, can't he stay healthy? We've got we got 379 00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:46,920 Speaker 1: a number of situations like that on our offense. Can't 380 00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:50,600 Speaker 1: he stay healthy? But when you have an offensive line 381 00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:53,680 Speaker 1: that works together and has worked together like this one has, 382 00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:56,240 Speaker 1: and you got a big back that's got feet like that, 383 00:18:56,520 --> 00:19:00,520 Speaker 1: has receiving skills, has good vision, you've got an opportunity 384 00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:02,200 Speaker 1: to do some stuff. And oh, by the way, don't 385 00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:04,080 Speaker 1: forget about Duke Johnson in there as well, because I 386 00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:05,680 Speaker 1: think Duke is a heck of a runner as well. 387 00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:08,159 Speaker 1: They're gonna have something with these two backs again staying 388 00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:10,359 Speaker 1: healthy and staying available. But man, if they're able to 389 00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:13,359 Speaker 1: use those two in addition what they've got a receiver 390 00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:15,680 Speaker 1: and the glood of time. And by the way, Jordan 391 00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:17,240 Speaker 1: Thomas would be another one I bring up. He was 392 00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:19,240 Speaker 1: very very good today. Well, I wanted to ask you 393 00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:21,440 Speaker 1: about him because this morning you tell me that you 394 00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:23,280 Speaker 1: ran into him in the hallway and oh my gosh, 395 00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:26,200 Speaker 1: he looks different. You know, he looks like and Bill 396 00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:28,679 Speaker 1: O'Brien said, I think Phil O'Brian said in his interview 397 00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:30,439 Speaker 1: that you know, he's cut some weight or whatever. I 398 00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:33,719 Speaker 1: forget how he worded it. But Thomas, we see him 399 00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:36,560 Speaker 1: in the in the hallway and physically looks different, then 400 00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:39,560 Speaker 1: goes out and has the kind of practice that you 401 00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:42,160 Speaker 1: want to see from a guy who missed the bulk 402 00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:44,360 Speaker 1: of the season with the ir stuff. If they might 403 00:19:44,359 --> 00:19:46,760 Speaker 1: have had him back sooner, if they had a problem 404 00:19:46,800 --> 00:19:48,680 Speaker 1: at tight end, but they brought him back when they did, 405 00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:51,000 Speaker 1: he ends up with one catch after the four touchdowns 406 00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:53,720 Speaker 1: he had two years ago. What about Jordan Thomas what 407 00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:57,040 Speaker 1: you see today from him on the field. Yeah. First off, 408 00:19:57,119 --> 00:20:00,639 Speaker 1: you know, just we've always remember the first time we 409 00:20:00,760 --> 00:20:03,720 Speaker 1: saw him. I remember you said to me, that's Jordan Thomas. 410 00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:07,320 Speaker 1: I'm like, yeah, that's a that's a tight end. He's massive, 411 00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:10,760 Speaker 1: but I always felt like, Okay, if he slimmed down 412 00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:12,920 Speaker 1: a little bit, I think he could probably be even 413 00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:15,439 Speaker 1: better because I don't think he's gonna lose much strength. 414 00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:17,640 Speaker 1: He's still gonna be able to be a why inline 415 00:20:17,640 --> 00:20:19,760 Speaker 1: blocker if they need him too. But man, you get 416 00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:21,520 Speaker 1: that joker down to see him on a safety, he's 417 00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:23,199 Speaker 1: picking the ball off top of guy's heads. He did 418 00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:26,080 Speaker 1: that a couple of times today where he going on 419 00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:28,600 Speaker 1: the seam and Deshaun I think it was Deshaun it 420 00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:31,640 Speaker 1: threw it. Maybe Deshaun might been AJ made a throw 421 00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:33,879 Speaker 1: and it was just right there where dB could have 422 00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:35,960 Speaker 1: made a play and JT just reached up and just 423 00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:39,080 Speaker 1: snatched it. And I mean just snatched it. I mean 424 00:20:39,119 --> 00:20:42,960 Speaker 1: he looked, um, he moved well. I thought he ran well. 425 00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:44,560 Speaker 1: I thought there were there were times in the first 426 00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:46,000 Speaker 1: couple of years where maybe he kind of looked like 427 00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:48,120 Speaker 1: he was lumbering a little bit because he was that big. 428 00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:51,280 Speaker 1: But you know, coach of Bryan said, he slammed down um, 429 00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:53,520 Speaker 1: And I think that's really that's really helped him. And 430 00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:56,680 Speaker 1: and I think I think Jordan Thomas is the kind 431 00:20:56,680 --> 00:20:59,600 Speaker 1: of guy that looked at what Darren Fells did last year. 432 00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:02,879 Speaker 1: And even though they love Fells and Fells loves those guys, 433 00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:05,520 Speaker 1: we know they've got a great bond in that tight 434 00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:08,199 Speaker 1: end room. I think Jordan Thomas is like yo, I 435 00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:10,920 Speaker 1: could do that. I had four touchdowns as a rookie. 436 00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:13,400 Speaker 1: I can do that kind of stuff. So I think 437 00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:17,400 Speaker 1: that was another guy that, you know, like Keke kind 438 00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:20,520 Speaker 1: of like Okay, got the message gotta stay healthy, gotta 439 00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:22,639 Speaker 1: get my body right, and I gotta be ready to 440 00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:26,040 Speaker 1: go and buy bodies. Can we can? Can I talk? 441 00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:29,399 Speaker 1: I want to talk about Ross Blacklock. I know it 442 00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:34,720 Speaker 1: sounds weird. Ross Blacklock as from TCU when I talk 443 00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:38,520 Speaker 1: about a body, I don't think that I have seen 444 00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:44,320 Speaker 1: a Texans defensive linement built like him. And you know, 445 00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:49,080 Speaker 1: since since Wade took over back in well, when did 446 00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:51,440 Speaker 1: Wade take over two thousan eleven, twenty eleven, that was 447 00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:54,360 Speaker 1: Wade's first yet, right, Wade Phillips and the Texans went 448 00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:57,240 Speaker 1: to you know, they went to a three four defense, 449 00:21:57,320 --> 00:22:00,800 Speaker 1: so they you know, you would have guys that looked 450 00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:03,119 Speaker 1: like JJ you know, six five six, six, three hundred 451 00:22:03,119 --> 00:22:05,560 Speaker 1: pounds two ninety five, you know, Joel Heath, you know 452 00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:07,200 Speaker 1: kind of guy. You know, even a guy like Charles A. 453 00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:10,600 Speaker 1: Manner who those kind of guys. But what the Texans 454 00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:14,320 Speaker 1: really didn't have was a guy six two sixty three, 455 00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:20,040 Speaker 1: like you know, two ninety five, with long arms and 456 00:22:20,359 --> 00:22:23,600 Speaker 1: raw I was down. I was on the sideline, and 457 00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:26,800 Speaker 1: the defensive line started their drills at the beginning, like 458 00:22:26,840 --> 00:22:29,920 Speaker 1: way way way in a far corner, and I made 459 00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:32,520 Speaker 1: a note like, make sure you check out Blacklock. Just 460 00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:35,040 Speaker 1: three momslucks. There's so much going on, don't lose sight. 461 00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:38,520 Speaker 1: So then they move to do it like a team 462 00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:41,840 Speaker 1: drill closer. So the defense is by us, and he's 463 00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:44,840 Speaker 1: standing next to me, probably about I don't know about 464 00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:48,320 Speaker 1: seven eight feet away, socially distanced perfectly, and I got 465 00:22:48,359 --> 00:22:50,879 Speaker 1: my mask on and I just look over there and 466 00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:55,800 Speaker 1: I'm like, that's black Oh my god, holy smokes, long arms, 467 00:22:56,480 --> 00:23:00,040 Speaker 1: str I mean, his legs are like tree trunks, and 468 00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:04,280 Speaker 1: he moves like a linebacker. I mean his feet are 469 00:23:04,359 --> 00:23:07,600 Speaker 1: so quick and he's so strong, and I just went, 470 00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:11,560 Speaker 1: that's not you know, when Timmy Jernigan was thought to 471 00:23:11,560 --> 00:23:14,399 Speaker 1: be signing here with the Texans, that's the kind of 472 00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:17,840 Speaker 1: guy I thought, Okay, well, that's he's interesting because Timmy's 473 00:23:17,840 --> 00:23:22,000 Speaker 1: a little shorter, but he's quick and he's stout, big butt, 474 00:23:22,040 --> 00:23:24,800 Speaker 1: big legs. But really he was kind of known for 475 00:23:24,840 --> 00:23:28,920 Speaker 1: penetrating and getting up field and being disruptive. Ross is that. 476 00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:33,120 Speaker 1: But he's taller and he's bigger. So just watching him 477 00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:36,359 Speaker 1: and his ability to just be quick, I mean, Mark, 478 00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:39,760 Speaker 1: I'll be honest, I had a hard time not watching 479 00:23:40,280 --> 00:23:43,159 Speaker 1: the new number ninety today watching Ross Blacklock. I had 480 00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:45,760 Speaker 1: a hard time not watching him, And I think that 481 00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:48,399 Speaker 1: there is a ton of potential there. He's got a 482 00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:52,600 Speaker 1: lot of work to do. From a playbook standpoint, nobody's 483 00:23:52,600 --> 00:23:54,680 Speaker 1: gotta do. There's gonna be a lot asked of him 484 00:23:54,680 --> 00:23:56,439 Speaker 1: when he does get in there, because he does have 485 00:23:56,520 --> 00:23:57,879 Speaker 1: the size of the ability to play a lot of 486 00:23:57,880 --> 00:24:00,240 Speaker 1: different spots on the defensive line. So he's got to 487 00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:03,399 Speaker 1: make sure he's comfortable with that. But man, I had 488 00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:04,679 Speaker 1: a hard time just when he come over with the 489 00:24:04,680 --> 00:24:07,879 Speaker 1: sign lines. I kept looking at him like he looks 490 00:24:07,920 --> 00:24:09,880 Speaker 1: like guys we would see like when we would go 491 00:24:10,440 --> 00:24:13,160 Speaker 1: and practice against other teams and they would be more 492 00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:16,000 Speaker 1: four man lines and they would have like six three, 493 00:24:16,119 --> 00:24:18,480 Speaker 1: you know, three hundred five pounds.

I've watched 662 00:33:32,280 --> 00:33:34,960 Speaker 1: many Sam Houston games over my career from them playing 663 00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:37,800 Speaker 1: here in the Piney Woods and obviously being so close 664 00:33:37,880 --> 00:33:41,640 Speaker 1: to us, So excited to have him on the team. Well, 665 00:33:41,720 --> 00:33:45,880 Speaker 1: that was obviously that was about PJ. Hall, right, Uh soe, 666 00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:50,880 Speaker 1: this is not Texans Audio Jukebox. It's Texans Audio Roulette now, 667 00:33:51,240 --> 00:33:55,560 Speaker 1: because I don't know what's going to happen next, because 668 00:33:55,600 --> 00:33:57,520 Speaker 1: that cut was supposed to be about the Chiefs and 669 00:33:57,640 --> 00:33:59,840 Speaker 1: this cut is supposed to be about would what want 670 00:33:59,840 --> 00:34:02,320 Speaker 1: to play at a bubble? But let's just hear what 671 00:34:02,400 --> 00:34:05,720 Speaker 1: it is. We'll play Texans audio Roulette. Let's go, Jake. 672 00:34:06,920 --> 00:34:09,840 Speaker 1: It's something that I've actually worked on over the years. 673 00:34:10,160 --> 00:34:12,520 Speaker 1: It's something that I've had to physically work on to 674 00:34:12,640 --> 00:34:15,160 Speaker 1: make sure that I can articulate the things that I 675 00:34:15,200 --> 00:34:17,640 Speaker 1: want to say in the best way possible. Because there's 676 00:34:17,680 --> 00:34:20,839 Speaker 1: some things that on the field that I can do 677 00:34:20,880 --> 00:34:23,279 Speaker 1: that some other guy has a different skill set that 678 00:34:23,320 --> 00:34:25,160 Speaker 1: he has to do a different way, or there's something 679 00:34:25,160 --> 00:34:27,640 Speaker 1: another guy can do that I can't do. So what 680 00:34:27,719 --> 00:34:30,040 Speaker 1: I had to learn over time was how to properly 681 00:34:30,160 --> 00:34:34,200 Speaker 1: articulate a coaching point to a younger player. And I 682 00:34:34,239 --> 00:34:36,839 Speaker 1: think that's something that I've I've actually worked hard on 683 00:34:36,880 --> 00:34:39,120 Speaker 1: and I think I'm getting a lot better at so 684 00:34:39,200 --> 00:34:41,040 Speaker 1: with a young guy. Now, let's say it's Ross or 685 00:34:41,080 --> 00:34:44,120 Speaker 1: Big Z or whoever it is on RD line, I 686 00:34:44,200 --> 00:34:47,239 Speaker 1: do think I can communicate that a lot better and say, hey, 687 00:34:47,360 --> 00:34:49,320 Speaker 1: I think this is what you're seeing here's what I 688 00:34:49,360 --> 00:34:51,319 Speaker 1: would do in that situation, and here's where your eyes 689 00:34:51,320 --> 00:34:53,759 Speaker 1: should be, or here's where your feet would be. Not 690 00:34:53,800 --> 00:34:57,160 Speaker 1: necessarily saying this is what I would do, because obviously, 691 00:34:57,239 --> 00:34:58,960 Speaker 1: as a player who's been lead for a long time 692 00:34:58,960 --> 00:35:01,600 Speaker 1: and who sees things a little differently, a rookie's not 693 00:35:01,640 --> 00:35:04,399 Speaker 1: necessarily at that point. So you can't throw on them. Hey, 694 00:35:04,880 --> 00:35:06,400 Speaker 1: you know, when it's Gonne near and they have a 695 00:35:06,440 --> 00:35:08,640 Speaker 1: guy in this set, I'm gonna take that sea gap 696 00:35:09,040 --> 00:35:10,560 Speaker 1: right out of the gate. He's gonna get yelled at 697 00:35:10,600 --> 00:35:11,920 Speaker 1: if he tries to do that, and I don't want 698 00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:13,520 Speaker 1: him to get yelled at by the coaches. So I'm 699 00:35:13,520 --> 00:35:15,720 Speaker 1: gonna say, you know, key, your eyes on his inside 700 00:35:15,760 --> 00:35:18,279 Speaker 1: shoulder and place your hands here, and then make sure 701 00:35:18,320 --> 00:35:20,279 Speaker 1: you have the sea gap secured. So you just have 702 00:35:20,320 --> 00:35:22,600 Speaker 1: to do things like that where you're putting it in 703 00:35:22,680 --> 00:35:24,960 Speaker 1: context that they can understand, and also trying not to 704 00:35:25,000 --> 00:35:28,920 Speaker 1: overwhelm them, because these rookies have thousands of things flying 705 00:35:28,960 --> 00:35:31,319 Speaker 1: through their mind right now, especially this year more than ever, 706 00:35:31,400 --> 00:35:33,959 Speaker 1: and you don't want to overwhelm them. Well, that wasn't 707 00:35:33,960 --> 00:35:36,280 Speaker 1: about playing in a bubble, but that was interesting. Nonetheless, 708 00:35:36,320 --> 00:35:39,360 Speaker 1: about coaching younger players and being the mentor. And you know, 709 00:35:39,400 --> 00:35:42,680 Speaker 1: here's what in year ten, So a little audio roulette. 710 00:35:42,760 --> 00:35:46,439 Speaker 1: Let's go to Watson with audio roulette. Let's this one 711 00:35:46,640 --> 00:35:50,680 Speaker 1: could be about the padded practice today, but let's hear 712 00:35:50,719 --> 00:35:53,800 Speaker 1: it as we hear from Deshaun Watson. A lot of talent, 713 00:35:53,920 --> 00:35:57,960 Speaker 1: a lot of energy, a lot of guys that's wanted 714 00:35:58,040 --> 00:36:00,920 Speaker 1: to make that won't want to make play, a lot 715 00:36:00,960 --> 00:36:03,920 Speaker 1: of guys competing and that's all we need is guys 716 00:36:03,920 --> 00:36:05,840 Speaker 1: that's going to compete each and every down, each and 717 00:36:05,840 --> 00:36:07,799 Speaker 1: every play, and trying to make a big play for 718 00:36:07,840 --> 00:36:10,479 Speaker 1: this offense. We none of us want to disappoint one another. 719 00:36:10,520 --> 00:36:12,440 Speaker 1: So we're going to do our job, you know, to 720 00:36:12,520 --> 00:36:14,840 Speaker 1: the to the highest, and of course we're gonna make mistakes. 721 00:36:14,880 --> 00:36:17,000 Speaker 1: We are at human, but at the same time, we're 722 00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:20,160 Speaker 1: gonna make sure that we're assisted as we can they 723 00:36:20,239 --> 00:36:23,480 Speaker 1: trying to be successful. I think we're back on track, Johnny. 724 00:36:23,480 --> 00:36:25,959 Speaker 1: I think that one was definitely about the padded practice today, 725 00:36:25,960 --> 00:36:27,640 Speaker 1: So that was good. You're right. I think you're right. 726 00:36:27,680 --> 00:36:29,759 Speaker 1: You know, going back to JJ, it's you know, people 727 00:36:29,760 --> 00:36:32,560 Speaker 1: are heard that that cut about PJ Hall. You know, 728 00:36:32,600 --> 00:36:35,160 Speaker 1: PJ when he was in high school. When he was 729 00:36:35,160 --> 00:36:37,719 Speaker 1: in high school, people thought he played like JJ Watt, 730 00:36:37,760 --> 00:36:41,200 Speaker 1: and so PJ Hall's Twitter handle. And I know this 731 00:36:41,280 --> 00:36:43,520 Speaker 1: because I covered like six or seven games of PJS 732 00:36:43,520 --> 00:36:45,000 Speaker 1: when he was at Same Houston State. I did call 733 00:36:45,040 --> 00:36:48,200 Speaker 1: analysis for Same Euston State for a while, and his 734 00:36:48,280 --> 00:36:52,359 Speaker 1: PJ his Twitter handle is pjj Watt, and so that 735 00:36:52,480 --> 00:36:54,959 Speaker 1: was his guy. So now he's in the locker room, 736 00:36:55,120 --> 00:36:58,480 Speaker 1: you know, talking to you know, he will eventually, you know, 737 00:36:58,520 --> 00:37:00,719 Speaker 1: catch up with JJ. But I happen to think of 738 00:37:00,719 --> 00:37:02,600 Speaker 1: that second come when he's talking about teaching his teammates. 739 00:37:02,719 --> 00:37:05,400 Speaker 1: Can you imagine you're one of the one of JJ's 740 00:37:05,440 --> 00:37:10,120 Speaker 1: young teammates comes over and anthy Weavers like Ross Black, 741 00:37:10,200 --> 00:37:13,560 Speaker 1: like what are you doing? Who? What are you doing? 742 00:37:13,760 --> 00:37:15,960 Speaker 1: He's like, well, JJ told me too. Can you make 743 00:37:16,040 --> 00:37:19,520 Speaker 1: you imagine? Imagine the looks you get? Randy? We were 744 00:37:19,560 --> 00:37:23,759 Speaker 1: at that point, Uh no, no, that's not that's not 745 00:37:23,800 --> 00:37:26,759 Speaker 1: really what what I'm changing the system. Okay, we're gonna 746 00:37:26,800 --> 00:37:29,640 Speaker 1: move to a five two, We're moving to the we're 747 00:37:29,680 --> 00:37:32,760 Speaker 1: moving to the four six, the forty six defense. Okay, 748 00:37:32,880 --> 00:37:35,719 Speaker 1: let's go to I was trying to think of different defenses. 749 00:37:35,760 --> 00:37:38,600 Speaker 1: I could call out, we're gonna have a monster. Now, 750 00:37:38,600 --> 00:37:40,640 Speaker 1: we're gonna have a hero. That's Penn State, right, you 751 00:37:40,800 --> 00:37:43,480 Speaker 1: have the hero. Everybody's got different names for it now 752 00:37:43,880 --> 00:37:47,040 Speaker 1: monster hero.

John Bruden, 891 00:45:55,360 --> 00:45:58,319 Speaker 1: quickly smitten with Marcus Mariota, says Pro Football Talk. Do 892 00:46:00,440 --> 00:46:03,480 Speaker 1: I mean take the under? I mean, if you had 893 00:46:03,920 --> 00:46:07,560 Speaker 1: take the under, because August seventeenth was you know, over under, 894 00:46:07,600 --> 00:46:09,960 Speaker 1: the time before Gruten falls in love with Mariota. So 895 00:46:10,080 --> 00:46:11,840 Speaker 1: I would have taken yonder on that. I mean, that 896 00:46:11,960 --> 00:46:14,720 Speaker 1: was that was a lot. That was a lock bet 897 00:46:14,719 --> 00:46:17,000 Speaker 1: that that was gonna happen, no doubt. Well, but I mean, 898 00:46:17,040 --> 00:46:22,800 Speaker 1: and and the thing is where it's practice practice, it's practice, right, Hey, Look, 899 00:46:22,920 --> 00:46:25,400 Speaker 1: it's a different deal when you're out there and the 900 00:46:25,440 --> 00:46:29,000 Speaker 1: bullets are flying and you got to make those decisions 901 00:46:29,480 --> 00:46:32,239 Speaker 1: and We've seen good practice players around here right at 902 00:46:32,280 --> 00:46:35,439 Speaker 1: that position and seen it not materialize in the game. 903 00:46:35,440 --> 00:46:38,480 Speaker 1: And look, um Mariota, who would have been the number 904 00:46:38,480 --> 00:46:39,799 Speaker 1: one pick in the draft had he come out in 905 00:46:39,800 --> 00:46:42,399 Speaker 1: twenty fourteen. Uh, and he was the number two pick 906 00:46:42,480 --> 00:46:45,240 Speaker 1: the next year as it was, I mean, tremendous talent 907 00:46:45,280 --> 00:46:49,200 Speaker 1: and everything. Good kid, but no, didn't work out for 908 00:46:49,280 --> 00:46:51,479 Speaker 1: him in Tennessee. And we'll see what happens. Maybe maybe 909 00:46:51,480 --> 00:46:54,200 Speaker 1: it does, Johnny. Maybe he's Alex Smith, you know, Yeah, 910 00:46:54,200 --> 00:46:56,399 Speaker 1: and uh, different kind of Alex Smith than he gets 911 00:46:56,400 --> 00:46:58,920 Speaker 1: a going who knows, Yeah, I think you know, it's interesting. 912 00:46:58,960 --> 00:47:02,759 Speaker 1: He's kind of I mean Alex Smith three juven as career. 913 00:47:02,800 --> 00:47:05,879 Speaker 1: Once he got a he got Jim Harbaugh to give 914 00:47:05,920 --> 00:47:09,319 Speaker 1: him some confidence to believe in him, and it kind 915 00:47:09,320 --> 00:47:12,360 Speaker 1: of turned around. And there's similar players. They're similar players. 916 00:47:12,400 --> 00:47:16,160 Speaker 1: They're really really good base hit up the middle, maybe 917 00:47:16,200 --> 00:47:19,360 Speaker 1: even a double in the gap, but you're never you know, 918 00:47:19,440 --> 00:47:21,719 Speaker 1: you're probably not gonna hit home runs with him. You're 919 00:47:21,719 --> 00:47:24,600 Speaker 1: not gonna do Russell Wilson, Deshaun Watson, Lamar Jackson, Patrick 920 00:47:24,640 --> 00:47:27,560 Speaker 1: Mahome things. But if they're in the right situation, hey 921 00:47:27,760 --> 00:47:29,399 Speaker 1: based up the middle, or a double in the gap 922 00:47:29,400 --> 00:47:33,600 Speaker 1: can help you, but hang on here, Alex Smith. I 923 00:47:33,640 --> 00:47:35,879 Speaker 1: think Alex Smith is fascinating because he was the number 924 00:47:35,880 --> 00:47:39,000 Speaker 1: one pick in two thousand and five and it took 925 00:47:39,080 --> 00:47:41,600 Speaker 1: till two thousand and eleven to get him going, which 926 00:47:41,640 --> 00:47:45,279 Speaker 1: is a long time. What were your thoughts on him 927 00:47:45,400 --> 00:47:49,360 Speaker 1: during the dark period of his career where somehow he 928 00:47:49,400 --> 00:47:51,759 Speaker 1: hangs in there because they invested a number one pick 929 00:47:52,040 --> 00:47:55,600 Speaker 1: but it's not really materializing. You never expected what happened 930 00:47:55,640 --> 00:48:00,839 Speaker 1: to happen right where he would actually him have a chance. 931 00:48:00,920 --> 00:48:02,560 Speaker 1: What had happened to him was he had had like 932 00:48:02,719 --> 00:48:05,880 Speaker 1: three defensive coordinat I'm sorry, three or four offensive coordinators 933 00:48:05,920 --> 00:48:09,600 Speaker 1: in his first three years. Then he got hurt and 934 00:48:10,120 --> 00:48:12,319 Speaker 1: it really all that just set him back, and at 935 00:48:12,320 --> 00:48:14,320 Speaker 1: that point the forty nine were a mess. Jim Harbaugh 936 00:48:14,400 --> 00:48:18,399 Speaker 1: came in and said, you're our guy. You're the guy 937 00:48:18,400 --> 00:48:21,120 Speaker 1: that we're going with. We trust you, we have confidence 938 00:48:21,120 --> 00:48:23,920 Speaker 1: in you, and he gave he gave a system that 939 00:48:24,000 --> 00:48:27,120 Speaker 1: he was comfortable in. Alex Smith is extremelyst threebl I 940 00:48:27,160 --> 00:48:28,880 Speaker 1: just felt like, if you got the right guy with him, 941 00:48:29,200 --> 00:48:31,120 Speaker 1: there are some things that there's something you can do 942 00:48:31,160 --> 00:48:33,560 Speaker 1: with Alex Smith. Kind of like we've been talking about tonight. Look, 943 00:48:33,719 --> 00:48:35,680 Speaker 1: you get injuries and those kind of things happen, and 944 00:48:35,719 --> 00:48:39,400 Speaker 1: then you bounce around. Like with Mariota. He had like 945 00:48:39,440 --> 00:48:41,880 Speaker 1: four or five offensive coordinators in his first four years 946 00:48:41,920 --> 00:48:44,640 Speaker 1: and he still got the Titans of the playoffs, but 947 00:48:44,719 --> 00:48:47,160 Speaker 1: he just got to a point where it had run 948 00:48:47,160 --> 00:48:49,439 Speaker 1: out in Tennessee it was time to move on. So 949 00:48:49,560 --> 00:48:53,280 Speaker 1: maybe maybe it clicks for Marcus with gruden system. Maybe 950 00:48:53,280 --> 00:48:55,960 Speaker 1: that works. Maybe Gruden's able to get something out of 951 00:48:55,960 --> 00:48:58,160 Speaker 1: Marcus that the Titans weren't able to get. Who knows, 952 00:48:58,280 --> 00:49:00,959 Speaker 1: but I you know, with a quarterback, when a guy's 953 00:49:01,000 --> 00:49:03,520 Speaker 1: drafted number one, and you could see some ability, but man, 954 00:49:03,640 --> 00:49:05,920 Speaker 1: you look at it and go, he's got to have 955 00:49:06,239 --> 00:49:08,640 Speaker 1: he's got to have a chance. You gotta give him 956 00:49:08,640 --> 00:49:10,680 Speaker 1: an offensive line, you gotta give him weapons, the throw to. 957 00:49:10,800 --> 00:49:13,200 Speaker 1: You have to give him consistency in the offensive play 958 00:49:13,200 --> 00:49:15,680 Speaker 1: calling and coordinators and all that. And Alex Smith never 959 00:49:15,719 --> 00:49:18,600 Speaker 1: had that. He never had that, and so I felt like, 960 00:49:18,680 --> 00:49:20,719 Speaker 1: maybe there's something there. But I didn't think he'd even 961 00:49:20,760 --> 00:49:22,440 Speaker 1: get to a point that he got to with the 962 00:49:22,520 --> 00:49:28,720 Speaker 1: Kansas City Chiefs in particular, So Mariota defeated Alex Smith. 963 00:49:29,000 --> 00:49:31,600 Speaker 1: I mean his team did in a playoff game at 964 00:49:31,680 --> 00:49:36,080 Speaker 1: Arrowhead Stadium, Johnny. Yes, Alex Smith's last game, Chiefs. I mean, 965 00:49:36,239 --> 00:49:41,160 Speaker 1: so their careers intersect there. I have chills. Now. I 966 00:49:41,160 --> 00:49:44,040 Speaker 1: wish Mariota good luck anyway, not that much because he's 967 00:49:44,040 --> 00:49:49,040 Speaker 1: in the AFC. Officials opting out. Reportedly five officials who 968 00:49:49,080 --> 00:49:52,840 Speaker 1: work in on field roles have opted out, and to 969 00:49:53,160 --> 00:49:58,040 Speaker 1: replay officials have opted out, so and who knows why. 970 00:49:58,120 --> 00:49:59,960 Speaker 1: I don't have all the facts here. And maybe they're 971 00:50:00,080 --> 00:50:02,640 Speaker 1: health concerns. I mean, usually it is health concerns, but 972 00:50:02,640 --> 00:50:05,120 Speaker 1: it could be somebody at home, could be them themselves. 973 00:50:05,760 --> 00:50:09,120 Speaker 1: Sometimes people have asthma, whatever, you know, people opt out, 974 00:50:09,200 --> 00:50:11,239 Speaker 1: and we've seen it in the NFL with players, and 975 00:50:11,320 --> 00:50:15,560 Speaker 1: now we have the officials deadline pass with five out 976 00:50:15,600 --> 00:50:18,560 Speaker 1: on the field and two replay officials. Any thoughts on that, Mark, 977 00:50:18,600 --> 00:50:22,320 Speaker 1: I think not that in particular, but I wonder. I 978 00:50:22,360 --> 00:50:24,520 Speaker 1: don't think we're gonna have our meeting with the officials 979 00:50:24,520 --> 00:50:27,000 Speaker 1: this year. That is one of my favorite meetings all 980 00:50:27,080 --> 00:50:29,920 Speaker 1: year long. I love that meeting. I love that meeting. 981 00:50:29,960 --> 00:50:32,040 Speaker 1: It's so zoom, Johnny. If we do it, it'll be 982 00:50:32,080 --> 00:50:35,440 Speaker 1: a zoom meeting, and I don't get to like, I 983 00:50:35,440 --> 00:50:37,600 Speaker 1: don't get to cozy up to Cleet Blakeman and get 984 00:50:37,640 --> 00:50:39,120 Speaker 1: it one on one. You know, I don't get that. 985 00:50:39,680 --> 00:50:42,200 Speaker 1: Cleets our guy man. Cleet is our guy. He comes 986 00:50:42,200 --> 00:50:44,880 Speaker 1: and finds me down on the sideline. He always comes over. Hey, 987 00:50:44,880 --> 00:50:48,320 Speaker 1: how's Mark doing. You're doing all right? I mean he's awesome. 988 00:50:48,440 --> 00:50:52,080 Speaker 1: I love Clit Blakeman. See darn it. Don't get that 989 00:50:52,200 --> 00:50:57,200 Speaker 1: personal touch. Um No, we didn't really talk about Kelsey 990 00:50:57,239 --> 00:51:00,279 Speaker 1: and Kittle getting paid. I don't know if there's much 991 00:51:00,320 --> 00:51:02,640 Speaker 1: to say, but the fact that you have a league 992 00:51:02,680 --> 00:51:06,480 Speaker 1: here with Gronk, Kelsey, and Kittle for starters is pretty 993 00:51:06,560 --> 00:51:09,680 Speaker 1: darn good. I mean, like, when you put those three 994 00:51:09,719 --> 00:51:12,240 Speaker 1: guys together, can you think of a time in history? 995 00:51:13,360 --> 00:51:16,160 Speaker 1: I mean, you look, Gonzales and Witten, we're going at 996 00:51:16,160 --> 00:51:18,160 Speaker 1: the same time, and I mean there's been so many 997 00:51:18,200 --> 00:51:21,080 Speaker 1: good ones, you know, But and I think you have 998 00:51:21,160 --> 00:51:23,360 Speaker 1: to let this one play out. But if Bronk is 999 00:51:23,400 --> 00:51:25,719 Speaker 1: able to keep playing at a high level, this is 1000 00:51:25,719 --> 00:51:30,400 Speaker 1: a pretty special era of tight ends. Yeah. Uh, you know, 1001 00:51:30,640 --> 00:51:35,520 Speaker 1: Gonzals is at the back end of the career, you know, 1002 00:51:36,080 --> 00:51:38,120 Speaker 1: Witten and I guess you could look at these three, 1003 00:51:38,160 --> 00:51:41,280 Speaker 1: they're kind of you know, Kittle a little younger than Kelsey, 1004 00:51:41,400 --> 00:51:43,960 Speaker 1: Kelsey a little younger than Gronk. So they're kind of 1005 00:51:44,000 --> 00:51:46,960 Speaker 1: stair stepped in some sense. But you bring up one, 1006 00:51:47,000 --> 00:51:50,320 Speaker 1: which was Gonzales Witten, and then Antonio Gates was in 1007 00:51:50,400 --> 00:51:54,600 Speaker 1: that mixed two. Yeah, yeah, so he was in that 1008 00:51:54,680 --> 00:51:57,160 Speaker 1: mix too. And yet you know, you've got those tight ends, 1009 00:51:57,200 --> 00:51:59,560 Speaker 1: and who wouldn't want to George Killer or Travis Kelsey 1010 00:51:59,600 --> 00:52:02,320 Speaker 1: or Rob Inkowski. But heck, you talking about the Eagles 1011 00:52:02,360 --> 00:52:05,440 Speaker 1: with zach Ertz. I mean, you know, maybe the guy 1012 00:52:05,480 --> 00:52:08,080 Speaker 1: who has more tight end receptions in the season. I 1013 00:52:08,080 --> 00:52:09,920 Speaker 1: think that was in twenty eighteen when he did that 1014 00:52:10,160 --> 00:52:12,000 Speaker 1: guy he killed us that day. I mean, of all 1015 00:52:12,040 --> 00:52:14,040 Speaker 1: the tight ends that we have faced, I mean, Gronk 1016 00:52:14,080 --> 00:52:19,240 Speaker 1: has always just destroyed us, destroyed us. Next was zach Ertz. 1017 00:52:19,360 --> 00:52:22,080 Speaker 1: Kelsey's had some moments against us, but Kelsey's also had 1018 00:52:22,080 --> 00:52:24,800 Speaker 1: some zero games against us too, which is kind of odd, 1019 00:52:25,480 --> 00:52:28,560 Speaker 1: the twenty sixteen one in particular. But I hate him though, 1020 00:52:29,400 --> 00:52:32,640 Speaker 1: him just he's a special kind of person. Oh I 1021 00:52:32,760 --> 00:52:34,840 Speaker 1: cannot wait for I mean, I'm starting to feel it. 1022 00:52:34,920 --> 00:52:38,000 Speaker 1: My blood is starting to boil. I'm getting ready. I'm 1023 00:52:38,000 --> 00:52:40,360 Speaker 1: getting ready for opening It's gonna be weird, you know. 1024 00:52:40,400 --> 00:52:42,160 Speaker 1: And by the way, the Texans announced today that no 1025 00:52:42,360 --> 00:52:46,320 Speaker 1: fans at the opening game, which would be against the Ravens. 1026 00:52:46,400 --> 00:52:50,120 Speaker 1: Here and the Chiefs are planning on having fans opening night. 1027 00:52:50,160 --> 00:52:53,440 Speaker 1: But again, a lot can change very quickly, positively or negatively, 1028 00:52:53,480 --> 00:52:58,640 Speaker 1: I suppose. So let's just really just keep our hopes 1029 00:52:58,719 --> 00:53:00,720 Speaker 1: ups that we can get more fans to the building. 1030 00:53:00,960 --> 00:53:02,680 Speaker 1: You know, people are asking me like, well why not. 1031 00:53:02,840 --> 00:53:05,040 Speaker 1: It's harder than you think. You know, think about when 1032 00:53:05,040 --> 00:53:06,800 Speaker 1: you're at the store, you have the six feet apart 1033 00:53:06,800 --> 00:53:09,319 Speaker 1: and everything. Well, think about loading a stadium with even 1034 00:53:09,360 --> 00:53:12,120 Speaker 1: ten thousand people, which sounds like, well it's a very 1035 00:53:12,120 --> 00:53:15,600 Speaker 1: small person. It's ten thousand people. It's tough. It's harder 1036 00:53:15,640 --> 00:53:18,160 Speaker 1: than you think too. I mean, nothing's happening with ten 1037 00:53:18,200 --> 00:53:22,600 Speaker 1: thousand people lately anywhere. And you're gonna do that. So 1038 00:53:23,239 --> 00:53:25,399 Speaker 1: that's a little bit easier said than done. Johnny. That's 1039 00:53:25,400 --> 00:53:28,080 Speaker 1: gonna do it. And we look forward to reading more 1040 00:53:28,120 --> 00:53:32,200 Speaker 1: Harris hits tomorrow and seeing you on the pre practice 1041 00:53:32,239 --> 00:53:34,319 Speaker 1: show with DP and Drew.
