00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,080
Speaker 1: Welcome to everybody to a Friday edition of Texas All

2
00:00:02,080 --> 00:00:05,680
Speaker 1: Access from the Hunday Texans Radio Studio. I'm your hostess Evening,

3
00:00:05,720 --> 00:00:08,960
Speaker 1: John Harris, Football Anolston sid the Reporter, joined by the

4
00:00:09,039 --> 00:00:13,319
Speaker 1: Voice of the Texans, Mark Vandermere, and we'll get into

5
00:00:13,360 --> 00:00:15,080
Speaker 1: it here in just a second. Obviously, it's been a

6
00:00:15,200 --> 00:00:18,200
Speaker 1: rough day in the city of Houston and obviously down

7
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:22,759
Speaker 1: down south in Santa Fe. Texas put out a statement

8
00:00:23,120 --> 00:00:25,200
Speaker 1: of sending the thoughts and prayers, and obviously Mark and

9
00:00:25,239 --> 00:00:30,120
Speaker 1: I do as well. School shootings are obviously popping up

10
00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:34,000
Speaker 1: way too often throughout the states, and I Mark have

11
00:00:34,120 --> 00:00:37,320
Speaker 1: been I saw one happen at a school that I

12
00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:40,080
Speaker 1: thought it would never happen. Six years ago, I lost

13
00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:42,480
Speaker 1: a mentor and a good friend of mine, the woman

14
00:00:42,479 --> 00:00:45,239
Speaker 1: that hired me, due to a school shooting. So it

15
00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:48,200
Speaker 1: always hits home. And I know you echo the thoughts

16
00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:50,199
Speaker 1: of our thoughts and prayers being with everybody there in

17
00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:52,720
Speaker 1: Santa Fe and everybody surrounding areas too, to be safe,

18
00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:55,640
Speaker 1: to be careful and give love to one another. Yeah,

19
00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:59,160
Speaker 1: and unfortunately it's so difficult to even you know, wrap

20
00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:02,959
Speaker 1: your mind around this, and and yeah, our thoughts prayers

21
00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:08,800
Speaker 1: eternally go for all the families the victims involved with

22
00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:11,360
Speaker 1: the shooting, and they're just too many sick people in

23
00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:13,679
Speaker 1: the world. It's so horrible, and I know that's nothing

24
00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:17,000
Speaker 1: we can solve here, but again, um, I can't say

25
00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:19,240
Speaker 1: enough about the people in Santa Fe and and the

26
00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:21,120
Speaker 1: surrounding areas and all the all the work that the

27
00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:24,199
Speaker 1: first responders have done, of course, but but our thoughts

28
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:26,200
Speaker 1: are with the families and the victims first and foremost.

29
00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:29,080
Speaker 1: You know, Mark, I thought about this earlier. If you're

30
00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:31,679
Speaker 1: if you're a senior in the class of twenty eighteen

31
00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:36,480
Speaker 1: at Santa Fe, you started your senior year with Hurricane Harvey,

32
00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:39,399
Speaker 1: and you end it with a tragedy like this. Yeah,

33
00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:42,160
Speaker 1: I just it's you know, and I think back to

34
00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:44,240
Speaker 1: to our senior years in high school, and you think

35
00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:46,600
Speaker 1: about what you were worried about in high school. It

36
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:48,520
Speaker 1: was what were you gonna wear to prom? You know,

37
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:50,920
Speaker 1: where you're gonna go to homecoming? With? Yah um, And

38
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:55,440
Speaker 1: now these kids forever will be associated, I mean not associated,

39
00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:59,720
Speaker 1: but they'll have this association rather with with what you described,

40
00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:02,880
Speaker 1: and it's just terrible. It's tragic in every imaginable way

41
00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:06,080
Speaker 1: it really is. And and I've said this, I said

42
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:08,000
Speaker 1: this to my wife before the show tonight, I said

43
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:10,560
Speaker 1: it to Drew. We'll have Drew on and Uh in

44
00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:13,760
Speaker 1: the next segment. It's it's as tough a day to

45
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:17,600
Speaker 1: do radio because for what we do, we are we are.

46
00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:19,920
Speaker 1: I feel like we are supposed to be a diversion

47
00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:21,520
Speaker 1: for people. They can listen to us, they can get

48
00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:23,320
Speaker 1: away from the things that ail them on a on

49
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:26,240
Speaker 1: a daily basis. But we'd be remiss if we didn't

50
00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:28,839
Speaker 1: talk about what was going on, especially something like this

51
00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:33,079
Speaker 1: so close to our physical home, uh, down in Santa Fe.

52
00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:37,079
Speaker 1: So we're gonna do everything possible to talk football talk Texans,

53
00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:40,840
Speaker 1: try and keep people's uh mind off a tragedy. If

54
00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:42,400
Speaker 1: that's the that's the one thing that we can do,

55
00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:45,840
Speaker 1: the spirits up. But whatever it is, we can do,

56
00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:47,920
Speaker 1: because we'll do what we do. And I was on

57
00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:50,120
Speaker 1: the air with Seth and Landry this morning because Mike

58
00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:52,840
Speaker 1: was out when it all occurred, and UH, and it

59
00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:54,960
Speaker 1: was it's just strange, but it's happening live and you're

60
00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:57,720
Speaker 1: wondering what's happening. You don't have all the information yet,

61
00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:00,640
Speaker 1: and you're still on a sports talk radio stay. And

62
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:02,920
Speaker 1: then there's that moment of when you when do you

63
00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:05,720
Speaker 1: not become a sports talk radio station anymore? When do

64
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:09,040
Speaker 1: you decide to be a news station? And yeah, but

65
00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:13,080
Speaker 1: that's hardly the pressing issue here. The issue is what

66
00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:15,640
Speaker 1: happened in Santa Fe, the families, the victims. But we

67
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:18,160
Speaker 1: are here to talk to football. That's what we're gonna do. Yeah, absolutely,

68
00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:20,560
Speaker 1: we're definitely gonna do that. We'll have Drew here in

69
00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:23,600
Speaker 1: a little bit. We'll hear from We'll hear from a

70
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:27,680
Speaker 1: guy that was actually on with Seth and Landry this morning.

71
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:30,520
Speaker 1: They had three defensive linemen off. Yeah, the DJ reader,

72
00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:32,720
Speaker 1: they had Carlos Watkins, and they also had the guy

73
00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:36,240
Speaker 1: that will join us tonight, DJ Dunny. DJ Dunny Awesome,

74
00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:39,280
Speaker 1: he's great. Yeah, he had a great year last year

75
00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:41,440
Speaker 1: in twenty seventeen. By the way, it was funny because

76
00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:44,040
Speaker 1: I saw Travis Johnson this morning and that Jamie's Hope

77
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:47,160
Speaker 1: Tournament at Wildcat where they were doing the broadcast on

78
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:50,280
Speaker 1: Sports Video six ten, and then you see you know,

79
00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:53,000
Speaker 1: that's a that's a defensive lineman from the past class

80
00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:55,200
Speaker 1: of two thousand and five. Then you see the new guys,

81
00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:58,520
Speaker 1: and it was just funny the passage of time. It

82
00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:01,000
Speaker 1: just showed me the passage of time once again. You

83
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:03,800
Speaker 1: know when you see these young bucks in there and

84
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:05,840
Speaker 1: they're playing in this golf tournament and they're making the

85
00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:08,800
Speaker 1: charity tour or whatever of the spring. You know, while

86
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:11,440
Speaker 1: they don't have to be here all the time because

87
00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:13,840
Speaker 1: Fridays they have often his strength and conditioning program. I

88
00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:15,720
Speaker 1: think we want to be clear about that most Fridays,

89
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:19,479
Speaker 1: so they're trying to enjoy the day out there at Wildcat.

90
00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:22,800
Speaker 1: They were and it's great Brandon done. I'll tell you

91
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:26,160
Speaker 1: what you want to talk about. Colorful personalities on this team,

92
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:28,760
Speaker 1: he is right up there with the very best. I

93
00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:30,800
Speaker 1: would put him in the top five for sure, maybe

94
00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:34,240
Speaker 1: the top three when you just talk about sheer entertainment value.

95
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:35,880
Speaker 1: So you don't want to miss the interview today, Yeah,

96
00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:38,000
Speaker 1: no doubt. So why Brandon dune Well, Drew dohrty on

97
00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:41,080
Speaker 1: as well, Feedmark. This would be a good time. And

98
00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:44,800
Speaker 1: it's funny because listening to Landry and Seth, Seth in

99
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:48,279
Speaker 1: particular talking about the three defensive alignment and there's been

100
00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:52,479
Speaker 1: so much talk about the new sports performance area here

101
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:55,479
Speaker 1: and what's changed with nutrition in the weight room and

102
00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:57,720
Speaker 1: things like that, And Seth was after you had gotten

103
00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:01,119
Speaker 1: off the air. Seth was remarking about how those guys

104
00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:06,280
Speaker 1: looked and just impressed by what he was seeing. And

105
00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:08,400
Speaker 1: I was hoping, Man, if the whole team looks like that,

106
00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:10,440
Speaker 1: what's this team going to look like in twenty eighteen.

107
00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:13,479
Speaker 1: And I think the biggest thing is just obviously keeping

108
00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:15,840
Speaker 1: everybody healthy. But that was kind of interesting to hear

109
00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:19,480
Speaker 1: Seth react to that aspect of seeing those guys, and

110
00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:21,400
Speaker 1: they were a good interview. It was interesting to hear

111
00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:23,320
Speaker 1: those the three of them on where they form a

112
00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:26,760
Speaker 1: defensive lineman Seth pain, but him remarking about what they

113
00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:29,160
Speaker 1: look like was very was very interesting to me from

114
00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:31,560
Speaker 1: that standpoint because they do you see these guys and

115
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:34,599
Speaker 1: when we see him every day. So sometimes if a

116
00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:38,760
Speaker 1: guy's body, you know, has changed significantly, we really see

117
00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:41,680
Speaker 1: it in April or in May. But these guys have

118
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:44,720
Speaker 1: been so locked in lately, you're seeing changes almost every

119
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:46,560
Speaker 1: day because of the way they're eating, the way they're

120
00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:48,920
Speaker 1: working out, the way they're doing things and practicing. And

121
00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:50,400
Speaker 1: then next week to be able to see them all

122
00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:52,880
Speaker 1: on the field during OTAs. Here's what's gonna be interesting.

123
00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:56,000
Speaker 1: After the mini camp, they are allowed to go wherever

124
00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:58,359
Speaker 1: they want to go. It'll be interesting to see how

125
00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:01,120
Speaker 1: many guys want to stick around. Yeah, because clearly your

126
00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:04,120
Speaker 1: family obligations, that's when everyone has to take their family vacations.

127
00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:06,400
Speaker 1: You have to take it then otherwise you have no time. Now,

128
00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:08,599
Speaker 1: the players can take it before strength and conditioning, but

129
00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:10,800
Speaker 1: that's a nine week program, so nine weeks you're kind

130
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:13,200
Speaker 1: of locked in here and then you are able to

131
00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:16,040
Speaker 1: go away for about five weeks. So I think a

132
00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:18,800
Speaker 1: lot of guys will be sticking around. I think Luke Richardson,

133
00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:21,119
Speaker 1: I don't know what kind of break he's planning on taking,

134
00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:24,120
Speaker 1: but i'll tell you what, his facility here will get

135
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:26,520
Speaker 1: plenty of action during that time. It often does anyway,

136
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:29,480
Speaker 1: and they're not allowed I guess they're not allowed to

137
00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:34,680
Speaker 1: throw here at the Houston Methodist Training Center, which is

138
00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:36,680
Speaker 1: always interesting to me. I mean, Bill O'Brien brings that

139
00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:39,040
Speaker 1: up all the time. But they can work out here,

140
00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:41,000
Speaker 1: which is kind of strange to me. If you can

141
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:42,640
Speaker 1: do one like, can't you do the other? But anyway,

142
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:45,040
Speaker 1: they can work out here, and I believe a lot

143
00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:47,320
Speaker 1: of guys will be sticking around to do that. Yeah,

144
00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:50,040
Speaker 1: I always a former coach, and you don't have to

145
00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:51,559
Speaker 1: be a former coach. I love that, But I always

146
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:53,400
Speaker 1: love that when my players in the summer, we're able

147
00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:55,960
Speaker 1: to get together and I would ask them to come

148
00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:58,640
Speaker 1: up together and work out and do those things, and

149
00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:00,599
Speaker 1: then we'd go out to the field and our other

150
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:03,560
Speaker 1: part of conditioning was running routs, stone football, doing some

151
00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:05,680
Speaker 1: things outside. Did they have the seven on seven to

152
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:07,840
Speaker 1: much when you were you know, it was just it

153
00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:10,320
Speaker 1: was really it was. It was starting, but it was

154
00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:13,840
Speaker 1: just really in it's in its infancy, so to speak,

155
00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:18,640
Speaker 1: because that's like, that's a voluntary thing. Voluntary and air

156
00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:21,560
Speaker 1: quote right, voluntary, right, yeah, Because if you're a high

157
00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:24,200
Speaker 1: school program, you're not doing seven on seven. You're dead,

158
00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:27,040
Speaker 1: You're lying, unless you're a stud athlete who wants to

159
00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:29,160
Speaker 1: play baseball too, Like, how does that work here in

160
00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:31,600
Speaker 1: the Texas high schools? If you're a six a stud

161
00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:34,880
Speaker 1: high school football prospect, but you want to play baseball also,

162
00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:37,440
Speaker 1: it is that discouraged? Or how does well actually baseball

163
00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:40,440
Speaker 1: season's over? Yeah, it is, But I would imagine the

164
00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:43,240
Speaker 1: most part I would imagine it's all based essentially on

165
00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:46,240
Speaker 1: how valuable you are to that particular team. If you

166
00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:49,080
Speaker 1: can play a few sports and you're athletic, and you're

167
00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:51,840
Speaker 1: good enough talented enough to to I don't say get

168
00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:54,280
Speaker 1: away with it, but if you can. Now there's some

169
00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:55,960
Speaker 1: you know, two A and three A schools, then you

170
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:58,800
Speaker 1: know the players they can get right, so they're mounting

171
00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:01,200
Speaker 1: different sports. But some of the big six A schools,

172
00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:03,480
Speaker 1: he got what four and five thousand kids into school

173
00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:07,480
Speaker 1: where they don't necessarily need it, unless say it's you know,

174
00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:09,160
Speaker 1: say it's a guy that makes you know, says devinie

175
00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:12,360
Speaker 1: On Clowney, and Clowney wants to go play basketball. You know,

176
00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:14,880
Speaker 1: the football coach is like, all right, sure, go ahead,

177
00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:16,520
Speaker 1: and the the basketball coach is like, yeah, come on. I

178
00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:18,920
Speaker 1: mean he's gonna play in basketball. He's gonna play in football.

179
00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:20,760
Speaker 1: You're not gonna not play him in football because he's

180
00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:25,240
Speaker 1: playing in basketball. He's missing valuable time, I guess. But

181
00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:28,120
Speaker 1: I think in the bigger schools you probably can get

182
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:31,000
Speaker 1: away a little bit more with that specialization unless you've

183
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:33,640
Speaker 1: got just a special special player. I mean we got

184
00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:36,319
Speaker 1: like Lebron James played multiple sports up until his senior

185
00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:39,840
Speaker 1: year when he realized, Yeah, this basketball thing is gonna

186
00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:42,400
Speaker 1: work out for me. I bet I better eighty six

187
00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:43,960
Speaker 1: to football. But you can tell when you see him

188
00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:46,880
Speaker 1: on your high state sideline how much he enjoyed football much.

189
00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:48,680
Speaker 1: He loved football, but he had to give it up

190
00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:53,400
Speaker 1: because it was not financially responsible for him to go

191
00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:55,280
Speaker 1: on a football field and take a chance, because within

192
00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:56,679
Speaker 1: a year he was gonna be one of the highest

193
00:08:56,679 --> 00:08:59,120
Speaker 1: paid athletes in the sports eighteen years old or nineteen

194
00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:02,480
Speaker 1: whatever it was. So even he played multiple sports until

195
00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:05,720
Speaker 1: that last year. Lebron's high school coach early on in

196
00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:08,280
Speaker 1: his high school career was Keith dan Brott, who is

197
00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:11,400
Speaker 1: at Akron still, I believe, and was at Central Michigan

198
00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:13,680
Speaker 1: when I first got there, like a hundred years ago,

199
00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:16,400
Speaker 1: and he had a horrible incident happened to him. Well

200
00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:19,040
Speaker 1: he caused it at Central Michigan, but he overcame it

201
00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:22,319
Speaker 1: with Lebron's blessing, and he said a word you should

202
00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:27,000
Speaker 1: never say to anybody, particularly anybody who's a minority, and

203
00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:28,840
Speaker 1: he did it in a way that he thought was

204
00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:32,000
Speaker 1: a motivator and thought it was acceptable, and he just

205
00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:35,400
Speaker 1: you can't go there. But he overcame it because Lebron's like,

206
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:37,920
Speaker 1: he's really not a racist. He's a good guy. He

207
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:42,319
Speaker 1: made a terrible mistake, he's apologetic, and he completely resurrected

208
00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:44,120
Speaker 1: his career to be a head coach at Akron. So

209
00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:46,560
Speaker 1: good for him. But I brought that up because you know,

210
00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:49,160
Speaker 1: Lebron has that kind of power, you know, And I

211
00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:51,920
Speaker 1: often think there was that commercial Lebron's playing for the

212
00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:54,920
Speaker 1: Cleveland Browns. Remember that one? Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'd love

213
00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:58,280
Speaker 1: to see Lebron in a football uniform. I would love

214
00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:02,080
Speaker 1: to see Lebron with some training in a football uniform. Maybe. Look,

215
00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:04,960
Speaker 1: he's what thirty three now, he's getting up there. Two

216
00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:07,520
Speaker 1: thousand and three is well wait, wait, no, two thousand

217
00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:09,360
Speaker 1: when it was they out drafted two thousand and two

218
00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:11,480
Speaker 1: because Lebron was the next year, So two thousand and three,

219
00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:17,280
Speaker 1: graduated thirty three. He's been that long. It's been that long.

220
00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:19,199
Speaker 1: And you know what makes me sad about that what

221
00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:23,040
Speaker 1: you just said that Yao was only a year before him,

222
00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:26,079
Speaker 1: and Gal has been gone gone, Like he's still with us,

223
00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:29,120
Speaker 1: he's still alive, but he's been gone for years. You

224
00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:31,520
Speaker 1: know who. I didn't realize it was still alive. This

225
00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:34,520
Speaker 1: is gonna sound crazy, but I heard this morning Boomer

226
00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:40,160
Speaker 1: Seison do a sports minute, Jack Whittaker was still alive.

227
00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:43,280
Speaker 1: What why do you bring him up? It's his birthday

228
00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:45,880
Speaker 1: game a birthday shout out, Oh gosh, And he said,

229
00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:50,000
Speaker 1: Jack Whittaker is still alive. And I was really no,

230
00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:53,400
Speaker 1: I know Edberg is dead and Jack Whittaker is still alive.

231
00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:58,000
Speaker 1: But either way, yeah, there definitely is that if and

232
00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:00,880
Speaker 1: we hear this U. I've heard this brought up a

233
00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:04,199
Speaker 1: few times. Could Lebron James step right in and be

234
00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:06,960
Speaker 1: an NFL football player? Looked? I think there are too

235
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:09,040
Speaker 1: many I think there are too many nuances for him

236
00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:14,400
Speaker 1: to step in right away. But about right if you

237
00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:17,360
Speaker 1: gave him some time to learn how to play wide

238
00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:21,200
Speaker 1: receiver or h back, tight end whatever red zones. Hang

239
00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:24,080
Speaker 1: on a second, when are we playing the game? Give me?

240
00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:26,080
Speaker 1: Give me a date, Give me a date. When's our game?

241
00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:29,040
Speaker 1: I mean like in the season, but no, like it's

242
00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:32,120
Speaker 1: right now? And Lebron says, I'll play football. When are we? Like?

243
00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:33,679
Speaker 1: How much time do I have to get him? Ready?

244
00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:36,240
Speaker 1: You got, you got, you got a year? A year.

245
00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:38,679
Speaker 1: I'll be fine. But although you know he's not getting

246
00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:40,880
Speaker 1: any younger, so you have to take that into account. True,

247
00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:42,520
Speaker 1: because he could get injured on the first play and

248
00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:44,240
Speaker 1: it's over. No. No No, I mean if you took that out,

249
00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:46,640
Speaker 1: if you gave me a week with Lebron, I could.

250
00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:48,240
Speaker 1: I could put him in there in a couple of

251
00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:51,200
Speaker 1: red zone plays, get a you know, all right, we'll

252
00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:52,840
Speaker 1: get to the twelve. Don't even have to run a

253
00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:54,920
Speaker 1: route at that point. I mean, if you're down on

254
00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:56,360
Speaker 1: the red zones, you really have to run out of

255
00:11:56,360 --> 00:11:58,600
Speaker 1: the corner. But he does. He knows how to run routes.

256
00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:01,200
Speaker 1: I mean, he was all States sever a saying the same.

257
00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:03,160
Speaker 1: You know, I go to the corner, make up play.

258
00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:05,840
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, it's it's a done deal. It's a disservice

259
00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:07,800
Speaker 1: to NFL players to say that, because you know, the

260
00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:09,719
Speaker 1: honey Badgers listening right now, say all right, give me

261
00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:13,800
Speaker 1: a shot at that. Listen. I understand, but if you

262
00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:17,960
Speaker 1: ask he's asking NFL defensive back and say, okay, who's

263
00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:20,760
Speaker 1: the toughest guy you guard? Who's and then who's the

264
00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:23,320
Speaker 1: biggest guy that you guard? And they'll probably say Mike Evans.

265
00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:25,600
Speaker 1: I mean Mike Evans is six six, right, you're talking

266
00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:28,079
Speaker 1: about the guy that's six nine, right, Not only is

267
00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:32,080
Speaker 1: he six nine, he's six nine two forty, so he's

268
00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:36,400
Speaker 1: also fifteen pounds heavier than everybody else. So, yeah, these

269
00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:38,560
Speaker 1: defensive backs can get mad all they want, and yeah,

270
00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:40,560
Speaker 1: some of them can get up. I mean, Jalen Ramsey

271
00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:42,320
Speaker 1: would be the one guy I would say, Okay, he

272
00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:45,080
Speaker 1: could probably get up on Lebron and probably do something.

273
00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:47,000
Speaker 1: Got to make the right throw. But but that's the

274
00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:49,839
Speaker 1: thing for most guys, that ball's got to be coming

275
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:52,080
Speaker 1: down to let them go up and get you. You

276
00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:53,680
Speaker 1: could throw that ball you're gonna throw in the second

277
00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:55,720
Speaker 1: row stand he'll go and he just goes up and

278
00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:57,840
Speaker 1: gets it. He's such a tremendous athlete. But it's also

279
00:12:57,960 --> 00:12:59,880
Speaker 1: you know, I bring up the Marioli story all the time.

280
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:02,760
Speaker 1: Mario in eighth grade was hit and he just he

281
00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:05,120
Speaker 1: was crying on the way home because he's he doesn't

282
00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:07,040
Speaker 1: want to play football. He doesn't like getting hit. Some

283
00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:09,439
Speaker 1: guys don't like getting hit. Lebron has played some high

284
00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:12,880
Speaker 1: school football at a decent enough level to have experienced that,

285
00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:14,680
Speaker 1: so he knows, you know, a little bit of what

286
00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:17,960
Speaker 1: you're getting into. But at the NFL level, it is

287
00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:22,760
Speaker 1: vicious and physical, and look, people are physical with Lebron

288
00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:24,560
Speaker 1: and the basketball corp. But it's a different deal. If

289
00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:26,640
Speaker 1: you have that kind of athletic ability, you're gonna be great.

290
00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:28,440
Speaker 1: You know, all these guys could have been great athletes

291
00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:30,839
Speaker 1: or whatever they do. Yeah, there's there's no question. If

292
00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:34,000
Speaker 1: you had a whole year to prepare him for NFL

293
00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:37,160
Speaker 1: football and he could stay healthy where he could learn

294
00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:40,160
Speaker 1: the entire route, I might make him quarterback, Johnny, I

295
00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:42,240
Speaker 1: might make him quarterback. Why you've seen him on that

296
00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:45,120
Speaker 1: Sprite commercial. He makes can he makes good decisions with

297
00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:48,440
Speaker 1: the ball. All right, do you want to Sean Watson?

298
00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:50,800
Speaker 1: You want Len Chris Paul quarterback? I want Chris Paul

299
00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:53,240
Speaker 1: to be my quarterback. A little dart a round, make plays,

300
00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:55,520
Speaker 1: make good throws. Think he's the next Russell Wilson. And yeah,

301
00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:59,000
Speaker 1: Chris Paul is what sixty three? He would tow. It's

302
00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:02,040
Speaker 1: so funny. Six kind of looks little ish on the

303
00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:05,000
Speaker 1: basketball court. Lebron, he gets out there on the football

304
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:08,760
Speaker 1: field and you're gonna, what is this? I mean, the

305
00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:10,920
Speaker 1: DB's now have to cover guys that are, you know,

306
00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:13,600
Speaker 1: six six, like Mike Evins. But most of the receivers

307
00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:16,559
Speaker 1: nowadays are getting I mean like Odell Beckham six one,

308
00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:19,920
Speaker 1: six two, the DeAndre a six two. You're not covering

309
00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:22,880
Speaker 1: a guy six nine. You're not covering a guy that size.

310
00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:24,640
Speaker 1: That's a good point. Not at all, it's a good point.

311
00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:26,440
Speaker 1: I mean if all you did with him was just

312
00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:29,400
Speaker 1: throw fades to him, I mean, Lebron, seriously, you can

313
00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:32,080
Speaker 1: get it. Ready, listen, you give me Lebron James and

314
00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:35,720
Speaker 1: Alan Iverson and put him on. I'm good. I'm good

315
00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:38,920
Speaker 1: even now. I could take Allen Iverson, Alan Iverson. I'm

316
00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:40,760
Speaker 1: telling you right now, if you give him half a

317
00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:43,000
Speaker 1: year to get in shape, he could play safety for somebody.

318
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:45,720
Speaker 1: What's James Harden? You know what James Harden is. He's

319
00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:48,920
Speaker 1: leving On Bell. Yeah, he's got that kind of you,

320
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:50,840
Speaker 1: more of a receiver than a runner. He's like the

321
00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:53,760
Speaker 1: receiver version of leving On Bell. I'm gonna run up sometimes,

322
00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:56,320
Speaker 1: I'm gonna run him what he is? You know if

323
00:14:56,360 --> 00:14:59,800
Speaker 1: he if you've ever seen Doug Baldwin run his routes

324
00:14:59,840 --> 00:15:02,640
Speaker 1: in just completely leave people, which is the way he

325
00:15:02,640 --> 00:15:05,280
Speaker 1: comes off. James Harden. Yeah, he'll break ankles all of

326
00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:09,120
Speaker 1: all unbelievable. Won't really run away from everybody, but the

327
00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:12,000
Speaker 1: fact that he can get away from everybody, get that separate.

328
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:16,160
Speaker 1: That's James. That would be James DeAndre. In the footage

329
00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:18,920
Speaker 1: that we have when the Texans were practicing against the

330
00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:21,400
Speaker 1: Redskins in Richmond, who was it that he broke the

331
00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:28,240
Speaker 1: ankles of Gangelo Hall? Just completely oh, just completely destroyed it. Mark,

332
00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:30,640
Speaker 1: appreciate it's coming back. Thanks Johnny. All right, Coming up next,

333
00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:33,640
Speaker 1: DJ Dunning Brandon Dunne, who I thought was fabulous in

334
00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:36,680
Speaker 1: twenty seventeen, joins us next right here in Texans All Access.

335
00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:39,120
Speaker 1: Welcome back to a Friday edition of the Texans All

336
00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:42,520
Speaker 1: Access from the Hunday Texans Radio Studio. I am your host,

337
00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:46,080
Speaker 1: John Harris, football anoles and sider reporter for your Houston

338
00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:48,960
Speaker 1: Texans And you know, typically, especially on a Friday, you know,

339
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:51,720
Speaker 1: I've got a lot more energy than this. But I

340
00:15:51,760 --> 00:15:56,680
Speaker 1: think my heart and soul hurt a little bit today,

341
00:15:56,800 --> 00:15:59,560
Speaker 1: like a lot of you in this city of Houston,

342
00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:02,600
Speaker 1: after what's transpired down in Santa Fe at Santa Fe

343
00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:06,440
Speaker 1: High School to school shooting there earlier this morning, the

344
00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:10,960
Speaker 1: unimaginable tragedy that has taken place. We've seen it throughout

345
00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:15,880
Speaker 1: the country lately, the last four or five years. In particular,

346
00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:18,920
Speaker 1: I mentioned earlier in the first segment that I had

347
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:23,440
Speaker 1: happened to a good friend of mine, my mentor the

348
00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:26,040
Speaker 1: person who hired me. In fact, everything in my life

349
00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:28,840
Speaker 1: I owe too, because she hired both my wife and

350
00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:33,200
Speaker 1: myself at Episcopal High School in Jacksonville, Florida, and she

351
00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:38,360
Speaker 1: was taken in a school shooting. So the tragedy, the

352
00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:42,960
Speaker 1: indelible images you have of that particular day, and it's

353
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:47,200
Speaker 1: just man, it's it's hard to put into words, it

354
00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:49,360
Speaker 1: really is. But our thoughts go out to everybody down

355
00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:51,840
Speaker 1: at Santa Fe. So, as Mark and I did last segment,

356
00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:53,440
Speaker 1: and Drew and I will do in the next, we're

357
00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:56,040
Speaker 1: gonna try and talk ball, try to talk about the Texans,

358
00:16:56,320 --> 00:16:58,160
Speaker 1: because if you came to this show, it's probably what

359
00:16:58,200 --> 00:16:59,920
Speaker 1: you were looking for to try and get away from things.

360
00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:04,160
Speaker 1: But obviously we understand its place in the world, especially

361
00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:07,160
Speaker 1: right here in Houston after what's transpired. So let's get

362
00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:11,600
Speaker 1: back into it with a guy that we interviewed. Actually,

363
00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:14,560
Speaker 1: DP and Mark had a chance to interview Brandon done

364
00:17:14,600 --> 00:17:16,679
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago, and I remember we were

365
00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:20,639
Speaker 1: going to the Greenbriar in twenty seventeen. I do this exercise,

366
00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:24,159
Speaker 1: and in fact, I did it back in March, and

367
00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:26,160
Speaker 1: I'll probably do it again before we go to the Greenbriar.

368
00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:27,640
Speaker 1: But I think a lot of people do this exercise,

369
00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:29,840
Speaker 1: especially in our world, in the media world, were trying

370
00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:31,400
Speaker 1: to come up with what we think the fifty three

371
00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:35,320
Speaker 1: man roster will be. And I remember Sarah Barshaw from

372
00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:38,399
Speaker 1: ESPN had done that exercise. And I'm always curious with

373
00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:41,040
Speaker 1: other people, especially those in the media that covered the team,

374
00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:42,920
Speaker 1: that are around the team, a lot have to say.

375
00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:46,080
Speaker 1: And I remember when she did her fifty three man roster. Now,

376
00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:48,080
Speaker 1: for the majority of the roster, we agree. We knew

377
00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:49,600
Speaker 1: who was going to be on the roster. We had

378
00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:51,639
Speaker 1: a pretty good idea. But I thought one of the

379
00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:53,159
Speaker 1: positions I was going to be pretty tough was in

380
00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:54,679
Speaker 1: the defensive line, and so when I went through the

381
00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:56,840
Speaker 1: defensive line, I did it for me. I remember I

382
00:17:56,920 --> 00:18:00,000
Speaker 1: did not have Brandon done in my initial fifty three

383
00:18:00,840 --> 00:18:03,679
Speaker 1: and Sarah Barshop didn't. I remember thinking she thinks Brandon

384
00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:05,679
Speaker 1: does gonna make their roster. I don't know about that,

385
00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:08,200
Speaker 1: and I remember from the first day of training camp

386
00:18:08,240 --> 00:18:12,040
Speaker 1: of last year going forward, I remember thinking, boy, I

387
00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:15,119
Speaker 1: was wrong, Sarah was dead on. Brandon Dunn was was

388
00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:18,160
Speaker 1: fantastic he got into this season. I thought he was excellent.

389
00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:19,720
Speaker 1: He didn't get a lot of credit for the things

390
00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:22,000
Speaker 1: he was doing. As defensive lineman don't get a ton

391
00:18:22,040 --> 00:18:24,879
Speaker 1: of credit for the things they do. But he was

392
00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:27,520
Speaker 1: very difficult to block. And when he was in there,

393
00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:29,560
Speaker 1: where Dj Reader, the two of them were in there together,

394
00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:33,680
Speaker 1: I thought Brandon Dunn came leap some bounds from where

395
00:18:33,760 --> 00:18:37,000
Speaker 1: he was healthy, in shape, ready to go. He fought

396
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:38,800
Speaker 1: through a couple of ninety injuries throughout the year. What

397
00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:40,600
Speaker 1: a thought. Brandon Dunn was one of the top defensive

398
00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:43,040
Speaker 1: players this team had last year, even though he's not

399
00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:45,400
Speaker 1: gonna produce a don of tackles for loss or sacks,

400
00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:47,800
Speaker 1: but holding up against the run and playing the run

401
00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:51,960
Speaker 1: getting some pressure from a past rushing perspective. Brandon Dun

402
00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:54,320
Speaker 1: can do those things. And I think the Texans found

403
00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:58,880
Speaker 1: a significant player for them going forward on the defensive

404
00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:02,120
Speaker 1: line in Brandon Done. And of course he is the

405
00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:06,280
Speaker 1: locker room DJ, hence the name DJ Dunny. And DJ

406
00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:09,040
Speaker 1: Dunny stepped in the studio a couple days ago with

407
00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:13,080
Speaker 1: Mark Vandimir and DJ Dunny. Brandon Dunna, how's it going

408
00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:15,840
Speaker 1: going good? Going good? Just finish the workout? Uh and

409
00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:18,439
Speaker 1: God blessed with you. Seeing you guys today. I like

410
00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:21,359
Speaker 1: to say that the DJ Dunny a name which I

411
00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:23,720
Speaker 1: heard on Mark's broadcastering why do you on the air?

412
00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:26,320
Speaker 1: On the air you make a playof I'm saying, DJ Donny,

413
00:19:26,359 --> 00:19:30,440
Speaker 1: it's on that've originated off of Kareem Jackson's kjack TV.

414
00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:33,159
Speaker 1: It was a random question about if you had a

415
00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:34,840
Speaker 1: house party, who would be the DJ? And it was

416
00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:38,960
Speaker 1: almost unanimous. All the defensive guys at least said Brandon

417
00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:41,320
Speaker 1: Dunn and they've all called you Dunny. Yeah. And then

418
00:19:41,359 --> 00:19:43,520
Speaker 1: someone said DJ Dunny And then we'd made a little

419
00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:47,520
Speaker 1: promo for DJ Dunny. UM appreciate it for his first

420
00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:50,000
Speaker 1: DJ skills. Do you play what you like or do

421
00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:52,120
Speaker 1: you try to mix it up because you're playing stuff

422
00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:56,240
Speaker 1: for everybody? Sometimes the locker room it's bad days, you know,

423
00:19:56,320 --> 00:20:01,480
Speaker 1: depending on this. Wednesday is wild out Wednesdays. It's just

424
00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:04,080
Speaker 1: you know, the most loud, craziest music to get us

425
00:20:04,080 --> 00:20:06,399
Speaker 1: going for Wednesday, because that's how hard it's there in practice, right,

426
00:20:06,560 --> 00:20:08,800
Speaker 1: And then it's Thursday, stole back Thursday, So you'll see

427
00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:11,080
Speaker 1: a lot of old school, old school joints. You'll listen

428
00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:12,240
Speaker 1: to it. You know, you have a lot of guys,

429
00:20:12,320 --> 00:20:15,119
Speaker 1: but it's all universal. And then Friday it's just freestyle.

430
00:20:15,119 --> 00:20:17,720
Speaker 1: Fridays I might throw an instrumental on earth. Do you

431
00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:19,879
Speaker 1: see some of the guys coming together this freestyle? And

432
00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:21,879
Speaker 1: then it is what it is. This hasn't got to

433
00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:23,879
Speaker 1: be a club. This is not just a DJ. You

434
00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:26,320
Speaker 1: need to have like a theme. The locker room is

435
00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:28,840
Speaker 1: like yours. It is it is and you know it?

436
00:20:29,160 --> 00:20:31,600
Speaker 1: Can you know the job? It's not easy, No, it's

437
00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:34,000
Speaker 1: not easy. There's a lot of thought that goes to this.

438
00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:36,679
Speaker 1: It is it is. You gotta be on it. I

439
00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:39,560
Speaker 1: mean I got you know, I got iTunes Spotify where

440
00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:41,199
Speaker 1: you never name you name it all. I got it

441
00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:43,080
Speaker 1: all whenever the new music getting it. Maybe you got

442
00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:44,800
Speaker 1: some guys who was on top of it. So I

443
00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:46,600
Speaker 1: have some friends that are DJs. They hate it when

444
00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:48,280
Speaker 1: people come up and tell the DJ with the play

445
00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:49,680
Speaker 1: do you get a lot of that? I do get

446
00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:53,560
Speaker 1: a lot of that, man, I don't even they come

447
00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:56,080
Speaker 1: to me with the disrespect, they get it right back. Okay,

448
00:20:56,160 --> 00:20:57,879
Speaker 1: you know they gotta you gotta let it, you know,

449
00:20:57,920 --> 00:21:00,159
Speaker 1: you gotta, you know, cut it off right there just

450
00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:02,640
Speaker 1: a little bit. You know. Some guys like the lie

451
00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:04,359
Speaker 1: like yeah, yeah, I got you. They don't play it

452
00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:06,000
Speaker 1: again the next thing. You know, that's bad blood. You know,

453
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:07,320
Speaker 1: it seems like, hey, can you play this song? No,

454
00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:10,959
Speaker 1: we're not playing it today, can you play? You know,

455
00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:14,160
Speaker 1: Brandon dud joining us. You're one of those guys who's

456
00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:16,439
Speaker 1: gotten better every year, which is what you're supposed to do.

457
00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:18,960
Speaker 1: But it's easier said than done. Yeah, how have you

458
00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:22,479
Speaker 1: done that? Man? You gotta uh it's some uh, some

459
00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:24,520
Speaker 1: you gotta look at the mirror. You got to you know,

460
00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:27,159
Speaker 1: each year, you know, if you're not progressing, you know,

461
00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:29,840
Speaker 1: basically done in the league, so you have to, you know,

462
00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:32,520
Speaker 1: you know, do do different things to get you know,

463
00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:35,280
Speaker 1: different results. You know, I was, you know, at Plateau

464
00:21:35,359 --> 00:21:36,719
Speaker 1: on a little bit and the next thing, you know,

465
00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:38,960
Speaker 1: you know, I had to let drop off and I'm like,

466
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:40,720
Speaker 1: you know, it's it's either if I don't change it

467
00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:43,359
Speaker 1: down you go, you're done. So uh, you know you

468
00:21:43,359 --> 00:21:45,840
Speaker 1: gotta start eating right, you know, you gotta start doing

469
00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:48,160
Speaker 1: some things. You know, I'll start sleeping a little bit better. Uh.

470
00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:50,080
Speaker 1: I didn't know sleep can help me out a lot

471
00:21:50,119 --> 00:21:52,560
Speaker 1: with recovery, but it does. You know, you get to

472
00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:54,399
Speaker 1: our seven and a half, you know, eight hours to sleep.

473
00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:57,200
Speaker 1: You know, you clear everything out the room, no no clocks,

474
00:21:57,520 --> 00:22:00,240
Speaker 1: put your phone face down. I wanted to me and

475
00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:02,360
Speaker 1: my wife argued, you know, by getting the TV out

476
00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:03,920
Speaker 1: of the room. But I couldn't do that because we

477
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:05,520
Speaker 1: got a baby. Girls. She wants to come in the

478
00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:07,560
Speaker 1: morning and watch her. You know, right, you need to

479
00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:10,639
Speaker 1: blue blue glasses where the TV can be on, but

480
00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:12,800
Speaker 1: you can still rest. This is like actually a thing

481
00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:14,639
Speaker 1: I've heard some of the players talk about that if

482
00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:17,359
Speaker 1: they're the years too, is that one of those. I

483
00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:20,000
Speaker 1: actually got the old school, you know, to sleep sleep stuff,

484
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:22,119
Speaker 1: so that way I can just really the blackout goggles

485
00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:23,600
Speaker 1: or whatever you want to call it. You just wrap

486
00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:26,000
Speaker 1: around it and I go to sleep. I mean, if

487
00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:28,399
Speaker 1: I can. It usually take me like thirty minutes to

488
00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:30,760
Speaker 1: go to sleep. It takes me, no, in ten minutes,

489
00:22:30,800 --> 00:22:33,320
Speaker 1: I would think. Being next to JJ's locker, JJ has

490
00:22:33,320 --> 00:22:35,240
Speaker 1: been talking about sleep for years. It seems like he

491
00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:36,880
Speaker 1: was talking about a hard knocks he gets a crazy

492
00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:39,640
Speaker 1: amoun of sleep with like nine er well his goal,

493
00:22:39,760 --> 00:22:42,399
Speaker 1: he said, Olympic athletes get about ten hours or something,

494
00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:44,320
Speaker 1: so trying to find a way to get that. I

495
00:22:44,359 --> 00:22:46,480
Speaker 1: don't know if he achieved that or not. I don't

496
00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:48,000
Speaker 1: know what. I haven't talked to him about that. I'm

497
00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:50,680
Speaker 1: I'm gonna bring it up, but I have. I went

498
00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:52,920
Speaker 1: from six and a half to eight and a half sleep,

499
00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:56,440
Speaker 1: and it does tremendous, Like I can't I'm going to

500
00:22:56,520 --> 00:22:59,800
Speaker 1: sleep at least by nine thirty at ten, and I'm

501
00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:02,640
Speaker 1: up at six thirty on the dot, like I don't

502
00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:05,280
Speaker 1: even need alarm clock no more. That's amazing, Like I don't.

503
00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:08,119
Speaker 1: I set a long clock for six thirty five. I

504
00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:10,000
Speaker 1: beat it every day the last two days. I woke

505
00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:13,120
Speaker 1: up at six twenty two. Between six twenty and six

506
00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:15,320
Speaker 1: twenty five. And you mentioned recovery. So if you have

507
00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:17,640
Speaker 1: a tough workout or you have an injury, you feel

508
00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:20,360
Speaker 1: like it gets better faster if you're getting that much sleep. Yes,

509
00:23:20,480 --> 00:23:23,280
Speaker 1: it actually does. On top of the other stuff. It's

510
00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:25,640
Speaker 1: always you know, it's just more stuff. You know, obviously

511
00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:27,760
Speaker 1: your coachub you rehab. You know, you're going to do

512
00:23:27,800 --> 00:23:30,360
Speaker 1: whatever you need to do, stretch right, you know, thank

513
00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:34,240
Speaker 1: God to the new Strength Strength staff. But that sleep

514
00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:37,000
Speaker 1: does does a lot, it does. Really talk to the

515
00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:39,800
Speaker 1: coaches sometimes about this. Bill O'Brien gives me a hard time.

516
00:23:41,119 --> 00:23:42,600
Speaker 1: I bring it up on his show. I said, well,

517
00:23:42,600 --> 00:23:46,280
Speaker 1: what about the coaches getting sleep, because I don't think

518
00:23:46,280 --> 00:23:48,520
Speaker 1: they know how to do that. I don't think you.

519
00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:51,240
Speaker 1: I mean, obviously it's you know, we everything we do

520
00:23:51,359 --> 00:23:53,919
Speaker 1: is physical, so we we're running, we're planning. You know,

521
00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:56,560
Speaker 1: we're breaking our bodies down right, the only way we

522
00:23:56,600 --> 00:23:58,840
Speaker 1: can you know, really recoup, right, you know, it's about

523
00:23:58,880 --> 00:24:01,000
Speaker 1: doing other stuff, you know, sleeping. You know the coaches

524
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:05,160
Speaker 1: ain't really doing much they I mean, I mean physical side,

525
00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:07,879
Speaker 1: they're not doing much. So you know they do, I

526
00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:10,600
Speaker 1: mean some of them, some guys do. Some coaches next

527
00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:12,520
Speaker 1: sleep because you know they're coming there and start yelling

528
00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:16,679
Speaker 1: at you like they got these sleep You know, you

529
00:24:16,680 --> 00:24:18,960
Speaker 1: were talking about elevating your game to the next level.

530
00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:22,000
Speaker 1: How about last year. I mean, obviously with the injuries,

531
00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:23,639
Speaker 1: that was a storyline, but you got a lot of

532
00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:25,119
Speaker 1: opportunity to go out there and play. How does that

533
00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:28,360
Speaker 1: change your perspective heading into this offseason, how much you're

534
00:24:28,359 --> 00:24:31,199
Speaker 1: able to take out of actually getting real starts and

535
00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:33,399
Speaker 1: playing time with all the injuries that had happened. I mean,

536
00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:34,919
Speaker 1: you definitely take a lot out of it. Man. You

537
00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:37,240
Speaker 1: got some uh, you got some you know, some pros

538
00:24:37,280 --> 00:24:39,040
Speaker 1: and cons to it. I had more pros and cons.

539
00:24:39,160 --> 00:24:41,480
Speaker 1: But I'm always focusing on my corns. So I want

540
00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:43,520
Speaker 1: to get better at the stuff I did. Really didn't

541
00:24:43,520 --> 00:24:45,320
Speaker 1: do too much well, but it all came from the

542
00:24:45,359 --> 00:24:47,800
Speaker 1: opportunity I had. So you know, once I was best

543
00:24:47,800 --> 00:24:49,600
Speaker 1: at an opportunity, you know, I you know, I just

544
00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:52,520
Speaker 1: took it to full advantage all hopefully, like you know,

545
00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:54,320
Speaker 1: to the coaches, I got better. But into my eyes,

546
00:24:54,359 --> 00:24:56,280
Speaker 1: I mean I took a step, but it wasn't a

547
00:24:56,280 --> 00:24:58,119
Speaker 1: step that I need to take. I always want to

548
00:24:58,119 --> 00:24:59,960
Speaker 1: have to take a steady, a steady step up there,

549
00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:03,040
Speaker 1: up the ladder. But there's always some things you can

550
00:25:03,080 --> 00:25:06,240
Speaker 1: work on. You can never settle and rest. That's when

551
00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:08,800
Speaker 1: the when you start doing that complacecy kicks in. Man,

552
00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:14,040
Speaker 1: It's just a time before it's over with brand Brandon

553
00:25:14,119 --> 00:25:16,000
Speaker 1: done with us. We always talk about you know what

554
00:25:16,080 --> 00:25:19,479
Speaker 1: position are you, But there's so much versatility needed in

555
00:25:19,520 --> 00:25:21,600
Speaker 1: this defense because you just look from one play to

556
00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:23,880
Speaker 1: the next all of a sudden mercilessness in the middle

557
00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:27,000
Speaker 1: of the nose and who knows where everybody else? So

558
00:25:27,080 --> 00:25:29,720
Speaker 1: how important is that mental part of it and the

559
00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:32,120
Speaker 1: physical just to line up in different places, be able

560
00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:34,360
Speaker 1: to do that? Man, it's it's it's It can get

561
00:25:34,359 --> 00:25:37,040
Speaker 1: tricky sometimes if you're not If you're not you know, obviously,

562
00:25:37,080 --> 00:25:39,040
Speaker 1: you know, if you're not coming in here with the

563
00:25:39,560 --> 00:25:41,280
Speaker 1: if you come in with the attitude of only playing one,

564
00:25:41,359 --> 00:25:44,159
Speaker 1: you already lost. You know, Coach Rax and you know

565
00:25:44,359 --> 00:25:47,000
Speaker 1: he asked you to play multiple positions. You know, my

566
00:25:47,040 --> 00:25:49,120
Speaker 1: first year I played defense in. I went to knows

567
00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:51,399
Speaker 1: back to defense in and I, man knows, you just

568
00:25:51,400 --> 00:25:53,879
Speaker 1: got to know it all left, right through throughing all

569
00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:55,919
Speaker 1: and once you if you can know what everybody else doing, man,

570
00:25:55,920 --> 00:25:59,760
Speaker 1: it makes your job easier. That man is a fantastic

571
00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:04,919
Speaker 1: interview and I think he's growing into a really good

572
00:26:05,040 --> 00:26:08,080
Speaker 1: football player. And when you think about this defensive line,

573
00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:14,120
Speaker 1: Brandon Dunn, DJ Reader, JJ Watt coming back, Christian Covington

574
00:26:14,560 --> 00:26:18,520
Speaker 1: coming back, Joel Heath who we talked to Angelo Blackson,

575
00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:23,800
Speaker 1: Carlos Watkins, it's a pretty deep defensive line room at

576
00:26:23,840 --> 00:26:27,000
Speaker 1: this particular moment. I remember reading during the draft there

577
00:26:27,040 --> 00:26:30,200
Speaker 1: were there are some mock trafts that had the Texans

578
00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:32,800
Speaker 1: taking a defensive linement with that first pick, and I

579
00:26:32,840 --> 00:26:36,240
Speaker 1: just thought, that doesn't that doesn't make any sense because

580
00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:41,080
Speaker 1: this room, albeit maybe some names you don't recognize, they've

581
00:26:41,080 --> 00:26:44,399
Speaker 1: gone out there and done some really good things up front,

582
00:26:44,640 --> 00:26:49,120
Speaker 1: and you especially with what coming back and all that

583
00:26:49,280 --> 00:26:53,920
Speaker 1: he can do, it's a very interesting group to put together. Watkins, Done,

584
00:26:54,080 --> 00:26:58,840
Speaker 1: Heath Covington, Blackson, Reader, what they are I don't want

585
00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:02,200
Speaker 1: to say loaded up front, but they've got a lot

586
00:27:02,240 --> 00:27:04,040
Speaker 1: of guys that can do a lot of different things

587
00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:06,840
Speaker 1: for this defense. And Brandon Done ends up being one

588
00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:10,040
Speaker 1: of those guys. And I mentioned Mark earlier when Brandon

589
00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:13,720
Speaker 1: and Carlos Watkins and DJ Reader were on with Seth

590
00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:19,720
Speaker 1: and Landrew Locker on Mad Radio on Friday morning. Seth

591
00:27:19,840 --> 00:27:22,640
Speaker 1: was talking after they had left about what these guys

592
00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:25,600
Speaker 1: look like because they're going through the sports performance training

593
00:27:25,600 --> 00:27:28,480
Speaker 1: and going through the conditioning and what they're doing, and

594
00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:31,000
Speaker 1: he just said, you look NFL linement a lot of

595
00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:34,399
Speaker 1: times defensive linement offensive linement. They can look sloppy, they

596
00:27:34,440 --> 00:27:37,680
Speaker 1: can look fat. These defensive linemen do not look that way.

597
00:27:37,800 --> 00:27:40,800
Speaker 1: There's I mean, they are athletic, they can move, and

598
00:27:40,840 --> 00:27:43,800
Speaker 1: they're put together very very well. And a few of

599
00:27:43,800 --> 00:27:46,600
Speaker 1: them can do some pretty good interviews as well. And

600
00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:49,159
Speaker 1: Brandon Done is one of those guys that does some

601
00:27:49,240 --> 00:27:53,120
Speaker 1: outstanding interviews. We're very appreciative for a few minutes of

602
00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:55,440
Speaker 1: his time. I'm just I'm just a little bit upset

603
00:27:55,480 --> 00:27:57,320
Speaker 1: I didn't get a chance to interview them myself. My

604
00:27:57,400 --> 00:28:00,120
Speaker 1: daughter had some academic awards that she had to receive,

605
00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:02,600
Speaker 1: which is fantastic. That's a little humble brag on her

606
00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:05,040
Speaker 1: because she's outstanding, But she had two wards and wins.

607
00:28:05,040 --> 00:28:06,760
Speaker 1: So I had to go to that ceremony and miss

608
00:28:06,760 --> 00:28:09,440

617
00:28:30,119 --> 00:28:33,720
Speaker 1: What would be your all time NFL offensive players from

618
00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:37,200
Speaker 1: Texas universities. I'm not bitter anymore about him not letting

619
00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:39,480
Speaker 1: me draft Cam Newton because I did get Sammy Bob.

620
00:28:39,560 --> 00:28:42,880
Speaker 1: But we'll discuss that and then right here in Texas

624
00:28:51,480 --> 00:28:54,680
Speaker 1: earlier in the show. With everything that's gone on today

625
00:28:54,680 --> 00:28:57,000
Speaker 1: at Santa Fe High School, it's been a really tough

626
00:28:57,080 --> 00:28:59,920
Speaker 1: day to Texans put out a statement about what's happened

627
00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:04,000
Speaker 1: down there in Santa Fe, and our hearts go out

628
00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:07,840
Speaker 1: to the people out there, and I I have been

629
00:29:08,680 --> 00:29:11,760
Speaker 1: I've been through that before. It was a it was

630
00:29:11,800 --> 00:29:14,400
Speaker 1: not a mass shooting. It was it was two people.

631
00:29:15,240 --> 00:29:18,400
Speaker 1: Um I lost my mentor and a good friend, the

632
00:29:18,480 --> 00:29:20,480
Speaker 1: person that had hired me many many years ago to

633
00:29:20,600 --> 00:29:25,720
Speaker 1: school shooting. So um I can empathize fully with the

634
00:29:25,760 --> 00:29:28,600
Speaker 1: parents and students and everybody involved, and so our hearts

635
00:29:28,640 --> 00:29:31,200
Speaker 1: go out to everybody down there at Santa fe. As

636
00:29:31,280 --> 00:29:33,480
Speaker 1: also said in the first segment, we gotta do we

637
00:29:33,520 --> 00:29:35,120
Speaker 1: gotta do radio. We gotta do it the best way

638
00:29:35,120 --> 00:29:37,000
Speaker 1: we know how. We gotta try to be a diversion

639
00:29:37,040 --> 00:29:40,240
Speaker 1: for the people, um and do our jobs. So we're

640
00:29:40,280 --> 00:29:42,280
Speaker 1: gonna do our jobs when we're talking football. And my

641
00:29:42,360 --> 00:29:45,560
Speaker 1: man with me right now is Drew Doherty. You can

642
00:29:45,560 --> 00:29:48,840
Speaker 1: see mar Texas three sixty Dear Drew, which is one

643
00:29:48,880 --> 00:29:51,600
Speaker 1: of my favorites. I watched Dear Drew each in every week.

644
00:29:51,760 --> 00:29:54,080
Speaker 1: Thank you. I think my favorite, my new favorite for

645
00:29:54,160 --> 00:29:59,120
Speaker 1: Dear Drew was the running in the outfit. Yeah, that

646
00:29:59,200 --> 00:30:02,080
Speaker 1: was pretty good. That basically looked like a Doctor Seuss

647
00:30:02,680 --> 00:30:06,040
Speaker 1: outfit on steroids. It was pretty good. It was fifteen

648
00:30:06,080 --> 00:30:09,719
Speaker 1: dollars on Amazon. It was made of It's not silk

649
00:30:09,800 --> 00:30:13,120
Speaker 1: because you can't get probably silk made for fifteen bucks,

650
00:30:13,120 --> 00:30:16,520
Speaker 1: but it was. It was an incredibly uncomfortable outfit. Really Yeah,

651
00:30:16,600 --> 00:30:18,400
Speaker 1: did not did not feel good. So you're never going

652
00:30:18,440 --> 00:30:22,520
Speaker 1: to wear that again. But uh, it'll be in in spurts,

653
00:30:22,840 --> 00:30:26,000
Speaker 1: So it'll be in spurts. What's been the response to

654
00:30:26,320 --> 00:30:28,720
Speaker 1: in the lab thus far from people that have read

655
00:30:28,800 --> 00:30:31,720
Speaker 1: I'm the ones that I've seen on Twitter. I think

656
00:30:31,760 --> 00:30:33,720
Speaker 1: it's funny because a lot of people have tried to

657
00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:35,400
Speaker 1: put together there is because of the way that you

658
00:30:35,480 --> 00:30:37,120
Speaker 1: put it on Twitter. I thought it was an interesting

659
00:30:37,760 --> 00:30:41,240
Speaker 1: but still people go with the what and what John

660
00:30:41,320 --> 00:30:44,480
Speaker 1: is referencing is you have to create an all time

661
00:30:44,680 --> 00:30:48,360
Speaker 1: NFL offense, like a good NFL offense, but the players,

662
00:30:48,600 --> 00:30:51,040
Speaker 1: the NFL part. The players, Yeah, they have to have

663
00:30:51,080 --> 00:30:54,360
Speaker 1: come from a Texas school. So like some guy, God

664
00:30:54,400 --> 00:30:57,240
Speaker 1: bless him, you know, had Earle. Okay, that's that was

665
00:30:57,280 --> 00:30:59,640
Speaker 1: one of my picks. He had Vince Young his quarterback. No,

666
00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:03,120
Speaker 1: Vince Young is not better than Bobby Lane. Vince Young

667
00:31:03,240 --> 00:31:05,160
Speaker 1: is not better than Sammy Ball Min Young is not

668
00:31:05,200 --> 00:31:08,120
Speaker 1: better as an NFL quarterback than Don Meredith. So he's

669
00:31:08,160 --> 00:31:10,920
Speaker 1: down the list there. And then we hit some other ones.

670
00:31:10,960 --> 00:31:15,960
Speaker 1: I can't remember you were copied on some Yeah, I would.

671
00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:18,440
Speaker 1: I had one the other night. A guy he said

672
00:31:18,680 --> 00:31:24,080
Speaker 1: Eric over LT that's the Browns drafting, And initially I

673
00:31:24,080 --> 00:31:26,840
Speaker 1: thought he was talking to you, talking about Eric Dickerson

674
00:31:26,920 --> 00:31:30,600
Speaker 1: over Ladanian Tomlinson, and I just put nope, And then

675
00:31:30,600 --> 00:31:32,920
Speaker 1: I thought, oh, he's talking about me taking Eric Metcalf,

676
00:31:33,280 --> 00:31:34,640
Speaker 1: And then I got to think, and I was like, well,

677
00:31:36,160 --> 00:31:38,040
Speaker 1: why would I want to clog up the running back

678
00:31:38,120 --> 00:31:41,280
Speaker 1: spot when I could open up the offense for Earl

679
00:31:41,680 --> 00:31:43,600
Speaker 1: and kind of stretch things out a little bit. Because

680
00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:46,240
Speaker 1: you get a fast guy in Eric Metcalf, you have

681
00:31:46,640 --> 00:31:49,280
Speaker 1: a deep threat in Mike Evans, you got Ray Berry

682
00:31:49,280 --> 00:31:51,960
Speaker 1: who can do all of those things. So I was

683
00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:53,840
Speaker 1: I'm cool with my life. And I think Eric Metcalf,

684
00:31:55,200 --> 00:31:58,000
Speaker 1: judging on what I saw of him at Texas and

685
00:31:58,440 --> 00:31:59,720
Speaker 1: what I saw of him in the pros, I don't

686
00:31:59,760 --> 00:32:02,040
Speaker 1: think he was used properly in the pros. Now, you

687
00:32:02,080 --> 00:32:05,320
Speaker 1: know what Eric Metcalf was probably because he got to

688
00:32:05,360 --> 00:32:08,760
Speaker 1: the league what eighty eight eighty nine, somewhere somewhere in

689
00:32:08,760 --> 00:32:11,880
Speaker 1: that time frame, he probably was about I would think,

690
00:32:12,440 --> 00:32:15,840
Speaker 1: probably about twenty years too early. Yeah, because had Eric

691
00:32:15,880 --> 00:32:18,720
Speaker 1: Metcalf come out, you know what, Darren Sproles came out

692
00:32:18,720 --> 00:32:20,200
Speaker 1: in two thousand and three, I think he would have

693
00:32:20,200 --> 00:32:22,760
Speaker 1: been better than what Sprouls and Sprouls is awesome, Yeah, Spros,

694
00:32:22,840 --> 00:32:26,360
Speaker 1: but I think he was more accomplished than Dared Sprowls.

695
00:32:26,480 --> 00:32:28,840
Speaker 1: I don't think. I don't think the NFL of the

696
00:32:29,080 --> 00:32:31,360
Speaker 1: late eighties and early nineties, knew how to use a

697
00:32:31,400 --> 00:32:35,040
Speaker 1: player of that capacity. I mean we saw it with quarterbacks,

698
00:32:35,080 --> 00:32:37,640
Speaker 1: we saw it with position players, we saw it with

699
00:32:37,720 --> 00:32:40,160
Speaker 1: a I wish it. I wish there was a good

700
00:32:40,280 --> 00:32:44,080
Speaker 1: term for a player like Eric Metcalfe and versified, portfolio

701
00:32:44,200 --> 00:32:46,480
Speaker 1: like player. He was still capable. He made three he

702
00:32:46,600 --> 00:32:48,840
Speaker 1: was first team All Pro three times as a turner.

703
00:32:49,120 --> 00:32:51,760
Speaker 1: So I just think he could have been used much

704
00:32:52,120 --> 00:32:54,360
Speaker 1: more brilliantly on offense. And I think if you had

705
00:32:54,360 --> 00:32:57,280
Speaker 1: to put him, for example, you took Eric metcalf and

706
00:32:57,560 --> 00:32:59,960
Speaker 1: take Reggie Bush off the two thousand and nine saying

707
00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:02,920
Speaker 1: to put Eric metcalf on there, you I mean, we'd

708
00:33:02,920 --> 00:33:05,240
Speaker 1: all have been talking about eighty five catch season. He

709
00:33:05,240 --> 00:33:07,240
Speaker 1: would have caught, you know, nearly a thousand yards. He

710
00:33:07,240 --> 00:33:09,200
Speaker 1: would run the football in some way shape or for him.

711
00:33:09,240 --> 00:33:11,360
Speaker 1: And he put Eric metcalf on this offense last year

712
00:33:11,360 --> 00:33:15,120
Speaker 1: with the Texans. I mean that's who Yeah, I mean,

713
00:33:15,120 --> 00:33:17,440
Speaker 1: that would have been that would have been dynamic. I

714
00:33:17,440 --> 00:33:20,040
Speaker 1: mean he was one of the one one player I

715
00:33:20,040 --> 00:33:22,920
Speaker 1: remember from college that made people missing a foe with

716
00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:27,040
Speaker 1: I mean he was he was. He did beat of Mercury.

717
00:33:27,200 --> 00:33:29,960
Speaker 1: You know, and it's funny that those those players come around.

718
00:33:29,960 --> 00:33:32,400
Speaker 1: I mean, I think, you know, I've been I wrote

719
00:33:32,400 --> 00:33:35,560
Speaker 1: an article for the for the yearbook or annual yearbook.

720
00:33:35,600 --> 00:33:37,440
Speaker 1: We all have an article, and I had the defense,

721
00:33:37,480 --> 00:33:39,600
Speaker 1: and so I was thinking about what kind of angle

722
00:33:39,680 --> 00:33:42,600
Speaker 1: to take with the defense, and so I wrote on

723
00:33:42,640 --> 00:33:45,880
Speaker 1: the name Zach cutting him. I started thinking, you know,

724
00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:48,440
Speaker 1: that came out of Vanderbilt. You know, sixty three longer,

725
00:33:48,960 --> 00:33:51,880
Speaker 1: he's two hundred and thirty pounds. Back in the day,

726
00:33:51,920 --> 00:33:53,800
Speaker 1: I don't know that Zach would have been drafting the

727
00:33:53,840 --> 00:33:56,280
Speaker 1: second round at that at that at that size. Yeah,

728
00:33:56,440 --> 00:33:59,440
Speaker 1: you know, he might have. He's kind of he's kind

729
00:33:59,440 --> 00:34:02,000
Speaker 1: of a tween with well, you know, tweeters are now

730
00:34:02,560 --> 00:34:04,760
Speaker 1: sort of in vogue in the NFL. He's important. He

731
00:34:04,760 --> 00:34:06,800
Speaker 1: can cover absolute a lot of different guys now and

732
00:34:06,920 --> 00:34:09,360
Speaker 1: absolutely throwing the ball so much more often, but you

733
00:34:09,400 --> 00:34:11,319
Speaker 1: gotta still be able to respect the run. He can

734
00:34:11,360 --> 00:34:14,400
Speaker 1: do both those things. He's he's there. I mean that

735
00:34:14,400 --> 00:34:16,759
Speaker 1: that was a great, great choice by the Texans. He

736
00:34:16,760 --> 00:34:20,080
Speaker 1: had He had a very Because you only won four games,

737
00:34:20,080 --> 00:34:21,640
Speaker 1: you're not gonna hear much about him. But he had

738
00:34:21,640 --> 00:34:25,120
Speaker 1: a really good year last year when they start winning,

739
00:34:25,320 --> 00:34:27,920
Speaker 1: He's gonna be a big, big part of that. Obviously,

740
00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:31,200
Speaker 1: the quarterback position is most important, but you're gonna point

741
00:34:31,200 --> 00:34:34,239
Speaker 1: to Zach Cunningham in the years to come and be

742
00:34:35,200 --> 00:34:39,560
Speaker 1: very very impressed and very very thankful that he's on

743
00:34:39,560 --> 00:34:42,320
Speaker 1: your squad. You know, I mean to make a bold proclamation.

744
00:34:42,560 --> 00:34:46,520
Speaker 1: Here's here's my bold prediction. At the end of the season,

745
00:34:46,760 --> 00:34:49,240
Speaker 1: Zach Cuttingham will be one of your top five players

746
00:34:49,239 --> 00:34:52,520
Speaker 1: in the entire team. Yeah. I don't think that's no offense.

747
00:34:52,560 --> 00:34:53,960
Speaker 1: I don't think that's very bold at all. I think

748
00:34:53,960 --> 00:34:56,480
Speaker 1: that's I think that's some people they're going, no, no,

749
00:34:56,640 --> 00:35:01,160
Speaker 1: what Mercia watching Hopkins on or on. I'm telling you

750
00:35:01,200 --> 00:35:05,440
Speaker 1: and and and I'm just I'm saying, with Zach Cunningham,

751
00:35:05,520 --> 00:35:07,279
Speaker 1: you've got a player that you can do a lot

752
00:35:07,360 --> 00:35:10,680
Speaker 1: with And whether it's just playing inside linebacker, doing doing

753
00:35:10,680 --> 00:35:12,400
Speaker 1: an the things you want inside linebacker to do, he

754
00:35:12,480 --> 00:35:15,000
Speaker 1: now can do that. He showed that last year. One

755
00:35:15,000 --> 00:35:16,439
Speaker 1: of the plays that we did in the film room

756
00:35:16,520 --> 00:35:19,400
Speaker 1: was him clogging up in isolation play, which is fantastic

757
00:35:19,400 --> 00:35:23,759
Speaker 1: to watch. But I think players like Zach Cunningham are

758
00:35:24,080 --> 00:35:26,680
Speaker 1: are ones that may not I mean, I think Zach

759
00:35:26,680 --> 00:35:28,919
Speaker 1: would have gotten drafted, but I think teams would have gone, well,

760
00:35:29,200 --> 00:35:31,800
Speaker 1: I'm not really sure, we can only play the four three.

761
00:35:31,840 --> 00:35:33,720
Speaker 1: He's got to be an outside lineback and four three.

762
00:35:33,760 --> 00:35:36,319
Speaker 1: This dude is he could play four three. Could, but

763
00:35:36,360 --> 00:35:37,840
Speaker 1: he could. And I wouldn't be surprised to see the

764
00:35:37,840 --> 00:35:39,879
Speaker 1: Texas place and four three this year. Yeah they're gonna

765
00:35:39,880 --> 00:35:41,719
Speaker 1: play everything. Yeah, I mean they'll, they'll they'll do a

766
00:35:41,760 --> 00:35:45,040
Speaker 1: little bit of everything. But I think I like Zach Cunningham.

767
00:35:45,040 --> 00:35:46,839
Speaker 1: And that's why I think of Eric Metcalf, because you

768
00:35:46,840 --> 00:35:49,759
Speaker 1: did it was funny. You took Eric Metcalf, and I'm

769
00:35:49,760 --> 00:35:52,399
Speaker 1: sitting over there about to take Larry Centers because I'm like, well,

770
00:35:52,440 --> 00:35:54,440
Speaker 1: you know, two running backs, I'll take a fullback. He

771
00:35:54,520 --> 00:35:57,200
Speaker 1: would be my flex you know, kind of surprising, and

772
00:35:57,239 --> 00:35:58,640
Speaker 1: then I realized, oh wait a second, we only have

773
00:35:58,680 --> 00:36:01,440
Speaker 1: one running back and already taken Er Dickerson. So I

774
00:36:01,480 --> 00:36:05,279
Speaker 1: took Ladanian Thomlinson, who was the different player in the

775
00:36:05,360 --> 00:36:07,319
Speaker 1: Eric Metcalf but did a lot of the same things,

776
00:36:07,360 --> 00:36:10,800
Speaker 1: catching ball, the backfield, run football. I kind of felt

777
00:36:10,960 --> 00:36:13,600
Speaker 1: a little bit dumb leaving all those touchdowns off this.

778
00:36:13,760 --> 00:36:16,560
Speaker 1: I mean, he had a hundred some touchdowns. But I

779
00:36:16,680 --> 00:36:19,840
Speaker 1: just already had Eric excuse me, already had Earl Campbell,

780
00:36:19,920 --> 00:36:24,399
Speaker 1: and I figured, let's let's like stretch the philosophy is sound. Yeah,

781
00:36:24,880 --> 00:36:27,880
Speaker 1: philosophy with sound. I think just many people didn't get

782
00:36:27,920 --> 00:36:30,759
Speaker 1: a chance to see Eric metcalf in what he could

783
00:36:30,760 --> 00:36:33,160
Speaker 1: really do, especially out in space. And it's such a

784
00:36:33,239 --> 00:36:36,520
Speaker 1: space game now, for for the NFL, for college, for

785
00:36:36,600 --> 00:36:38,799
Speaker 1: high school, it's all a space game. Yeah. I mean,

786
00:36:38,840 --> 00:36:40,720
Speaker 1: you don't play this game in a phone booth anymore.

787
00:36:40,960 --> 00:36:43,120
Speaker 1: And you need those athlete You need guys like Zach

788
00:36:43,160 --> 00:36:45,919
Speaker 1: Cuttingham to go out and cover a guy like Levian Bell,

789
00:36:45,920 --> 00:36:48,360
Speaker 1: who had two hundred and twenty five pounds, is you know,

790
00:36:49,080 --> 00:36:51,399
Speaker 1: maybe the best dual threat back in the in the league,

791
00:36:51,400 --> 00:36:53,719
Speaker 1: and Zach Cuttingham goes out one on one covers him.

792
00:36:53,800 --> 00:36:56,120
Speaker 1: You need players like that on the offensive side, you

793
00:36:56,160 --> 00:36:58,240
Speaker 1: need a player like Eric metcalfe. That's why I say,

794
00:36:58,760 --> 00:37:01,040
Speaker 1: twenty years later, I think Eric mccalf would have been

795
00:37:01,080 --> 00:37:03,960
Speaker 1: remembered along the lines of along the lines of Darren

796
00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:05,960
Speaker 1: Sprawls totally. I don't think Sproles will end up going

797
00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:08,120
Speaker 1: to the Hall of Fame or something along those lines,

798
00:37:08,320 --> 00:37:10,840
Speaker 1: but we remember oh Man. Darren Sprawls had a huge

799
00:37:10,880 --> 00:37:13,960
Speaker 1: impact on the NFL. When the Texans played the Saints

800
00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:15,960
Speaker 1: in New Orleans in twenty eleven, I think it was

801
00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:19,560
Speaker 1: Week three ish. I held my breath every time the

802
00:37:19,560 --> 00:37:23,120
Speaker 1: ball went to Sprowls because he was a great defense

803
00:37:23,120 --> 00:37:25,280
Speaker 1: that the Texans had, and even they had their problems

804
00:37:25,320 --> 00:37:27,800
Speaker 1: with him. I just he was one of those guys

805
00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:30,879
Speaker 1: him AJ Green. When they go deep to AJ Green,

806
00:37:30,880 --> 00:37:34,040
Speaker 1: I always just hold my breath on those plays. Yeah,

807
00:37:34,080 --> 00:37:37,560
Speaker 1: it was funny. Over the years though AJ Green has

808
00:37:38,200 --> 00:37:42,080
Speaker 1: he really hasn't had that big and not now, he

809
00:37:42,160 --> 00:37:44,799
Speaker 1: said Andy Dalton throwing the ball. Well, you know, here's

810
00:37:44,840 --> 00:37:47,080
Speaker 1: Dualans misfired on a little lot of balls versus the

811
00:37:47,080 --> 00:37:50,719
Speaker 1: Texans to Yeah, thankfully. But even even last year, they

812
00:37:50,719 --> 00:37:53,480
Speaker 1: didn't try to go deep to him against us, which

813
00:37:53,520 --> 00:37:55,319
Speaker 1: I thought was weird. I you know, they got like

814
00:37:55,320 --> 00:37:57,840
Speaker 1: AJ Green. I would think at least once or twice

815
00:37:57,840 --> 00:38:00,440
Speaker 1: a game, it is we're gonna max for act. We

816
00:38:00,760 --> 00:38:03,160
Speaker 1: leave everybody in and it's Aj and it might be

817
00:38:03,200 --> 00:38:07,319
Speaker 1: against three three cover guys and you just throw it

818
00:38:07,320 --> 00:38:09,160
Speaker 1: as far as he can and see what he can

819
00:38:09,200 --> 00:38:12,520
Speaker 1: because he'll, you know, like Hopkins. I think you get

820
00:38:12,560 --> 00:38:15,200
Speaker 1: too cute with that. But but AJ's never really had

821
00:38:15,239 --> 00:38:17,600
Speaker 1: a huge game knock on with the Texas won't see him.

822
00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:19,600
Speaker 1: If they do see him, it'll be in the playoffs.

823
00:38:19,640 --> 00:38:24,000
Speaker 1: But he did. I remember in fifteen no I'm sorry,

824
00:38:24,080 --> 00:38:27,200
Speaker 1: fourteen game here and the only game they've won. Yeah,

825
00:38:27,200 --> 00:38:29,360
Speaker 1: in the last ten years, he had twelve catches, but

826
00:38:29,400 --> 00:38:32,280
Speaker 1: they were all kind of nick or nickel or dive catches.

827
00:38:32,320 --> 00:38:34,680
Speaker 1: He was catching the front Yeah. Really, I mean it

828
00:38:34,719 --> 00:38:37,600
Speaker 1: was like twelve catches. It was one hundred and ten yards.

829
00:38:37,640 --> 00:38:39,880
Speaker 1: I mean, trust me, it's a great day. That's a

830
00:38:39,920 --> 00:38:43,200
Speaker 1: tremendous day. But it wasn't that backbreaking play, but it

831
00:38:43,239 --> 00:38:45,759
Speaker 1: was just consistent. Was just little, little, little little and

832
00:38:45,880 --> 00:38:48,400
Speaker 1: really didn't go down the field. But he's done that too, obviously,

833
00:38:48,760 --> 00:38:51,360
Speaker 1: so many people. But when we got the quarterbacks, and

834
00:38:51,480 --> 00:38:55,560
Speaker 1: Andy Dalton on my list because he's had three Pro Bowls.

835
00:38:55,560 --> 00:38:58,400
Speaker 1: Now obviously he's replaced guys. Yeah, but you know you

836
00:38:58,480 --> 00:39:02,600
Speaker 1: also knew depth where he also knew just you only

837
00:39:02,680 --> 00:39:05,920
Speaker 1: really need to have two quarterbacks on your draft board, right,

838
00:39:05,960 --> 00:39:08,160
Speaker 1: So that's what I did. Yeah, because Vince he went

839
00:39:08,200 --> 00:39:10,040
Speaker 1: the two Pro Bowls. But I don't know that you

840
00:39:10,040 --> 00:39:13,319
Speaker 1: would say Vince was I don't think you would say

841
00:39:13,440 --> 00:39:16,920
Speaker 1: Vince wasn't overriding success. And are you gonna take any

842
00:39:17,040 --> 00:39:19,520
Speaker 1: You're gonna take any quarterback over two Hall of famers

843
00:39:19,760 --> 00:39:22,120
Speaker 1: in ball and lane. No, we'll take those two high

844
00:39:22,120 --> 00:39:24,040
Speaker 1: the questions take don Marathon of the equation. I give

845
00:39:24,080 --> 00:39:27,320
Speaker 1: you Andy Dalton, Vince Young, Case Keenum, which one you

846
00:39:27,400 --> 00:39:30,280
Speaker 1: take it? Case is not going on any Pro Bowls?

847
00:39:30,320 --> 00:39:32,560
Speaker 1: But you got the ANC Championship Game last year with

848
00:39:32,560 --> 00:39:34,959
Speaker 1: the Vikings. Yeah, I mean, right now, you go with Case.

849
00:39:35,640 --> 00:39:37,120
Speaker 1: If you have to look at body of work, I

850
00:39:37,160 --> 00:39:40,920
Speaker 1: think you gotta go with Dalton. But he's he's Dalton Is.

851
00:39:41,920 --> 00:39:44,520
Speaker 1: I feel sorry for that guy because up in Cincinnati

852
00:39:44,760 --> 00:39:47,160
Speaker 1: he is. I don't want to say he's not persona

853
00:39:47,200 --> 00:39:50,359
Speaker 1: on grinding, but he's just he takes his lumps up there. Man.

854
00:39:50,480 --> 00:39:53,239
Speaker 1: They were even when when the Texans played them Week

855
00:39:53,320 --> 00:39:57,600
Speaker 1: two last year, people were wanting a J. Mccaron. They're

856
00:39:57,600 --> 00:39:59,520
Speaker 1: all just talking with the fan base. I went out

857
00:40:00,120 --> 00:40:03,040
Speaker 1: some friends from Cincinnati the night Nobody, I mean to

858
00:40:03,080 --> 00:40:06,040
Speaker 1: a man was was in Andy Dalton's quarter And yet

859
00:40:06,080 --> 00:40:09,400
Speaker 1: he's going into his eighth year this year in Cincinnati,

860
00:40:09,640 --> 00:40:11,759
Speaker 1: which is amazing to think about. You know, I was

861
00:40:11,800 --> 00:40:13,719
Speaker 1: listening the other day, I can't I think maybe been

862
00:40:13,719 --> 00:40:15,640
Speaker 1: the triple threat talking about this. They were talking about

863
00:40:15,640 --> 00:40:19,359
Speaker 1: the various divisions in football, and they were talking about

864
00:40:19,360 --> 00:40:21,719
Speaker 1: the AFC North, and as I got to thinking about

865
00:40:21,719 --> 00:40:25,280
Speaker 1: the just the AFC in general, I think the South Division.

866
00:40:25,360 --> 00:40:26,800
Speaker 1: I think the FC South is going to be the

867
00:40:26,840 --> 00:40:30,319
Speaker 1: best division, if not in football, in the AFC. I

868
00:40:30,360 --> 00:40:33,799
Speaker 1: think AFC West is still gonna be, as Jared would say,

869
00:40:33,840 --> 00:40:36,040
Speaker 1: a slobber knocker. I mean, I think I think the

870
00:40:36,120 --> 00:40:37,960
Speaker 1: Chargers the best team in the division, but I think

871
00:40:38,000 --> 00:40:39,520
Speaker 1: the Chiefs and the Raiders are right there. I think

872
00:40:39,520 --> 00:40:41,440
Speaker 1: the Broccos are a little bit behind, but case gives

873
00:40:41,480 --> 00:40:43,000
Speaker 1: them a good year, who knows what they can do.

874
00:40:43,640 --> 00:40:45,320
Speaker 1: I think the AFC East is the worst, one of

875
00:40:45,320 --> 00:40:48,759
Speaker 1: the worst divisions in football. It's the Pots. Yeah. I

876
00:40:48,800 --> 00:40:51,200
Speaker 1: think the AFC North is closer than the FC East

877
00:40:51,200 --> 00:40:54,960
Speaker 1: than is anything else. I after losing to Baltimore last year,

878
00:40:55,000 --> 00:40:56,800
Speaker 1: I'm like, that should have never happened. And that was

879
00:40:56,840 --> 00:40:59,560
Speaker 1: a team that we took to Baltimore that was woefully

880
00:40:59,640 --> 00:41:01,799
Speaker 1: last you had. And then during the game you had

881
00:41:01,840 --> 00:41:05,240
Speaker 1: Brian Peters playing outside linebacker right right, and you lost

882
00:41:05,239 --> 00:41:07,640
Speaker 1: that game by seven and you were driving down by

883
00:41:07,960 --> 00:41:10,560
Speaker 1: four with a chance, and then turn the ball over

884
00:41:11,200 --> 00:41:15,000
Speaker 1: against them Cincinnati. You know, Cincinnati just kind of stuck

885
00:41:15,040 --> 00:41:17,680
Speaker 1: on them like an average plateau, like seven to nine,

886
00:41:17,760 --> 00:41:20,200
Speaker 1: eight and eight kind of they're on that plateau after

887
00:41:20,239 --> 00:41:22,799
Speaker 1: a great year and fifteen up until we beat him

888
00:41:22,840 --> 00:41:25,040
Speaker 1: and then they started struggling and then lost in the playoffs.

889
00:41:25,239 --> 00:41:27,040
Speaker 1: They really haven't. They've been like seven to nine, eight

890
00:41:27,040 --> 00:41:28,919
Speaker 1: and eight, somewhere, six and ten, somewhere in that range.

891
00:41:28,960 --> 00:41:31,920
Speaker 1: And I don't see him getting beyond that. Baltimore, this

892
00:41:32,000 --> 00:41:34,480
Speaker 1: could be it for Flacco with Lamar Jackson. Now, when

893
00:41:34,520 --> 00:41:38,120
Speaker 1: Lamar takes over, then it's a whole different ball. That's

894
00:41:38,120 --> 00:41:39,680
Speaker 1: whole different ball. And then you got the Browns, and

895
00:41:39,680 --> 00:41:42,920
Speaker 1: you know, I've seen I've seen people pick the Steelers

896
00:41:42,920 --> 00:41:45,080
Speaker 1: and the Browns win a division and the Ravens and

897
00:41:45,120 --> 00:41:47,680
Speaker 1: Bengals think it's a little early to I think, so

898
00:41:47,840 --> 00:41:50,400
Speaker 1: to crown the Browns can be interesting December second, to

899
00:41:50,440 --> 00:41:53,920
Speaker 1: see who's starting at quarterback, very very interesting, and I

900
00:41:53,960 --> 00:41:57,200
Speaker 1: would I hope, I hope at that point that Baker

901
00:41:57,239 --> 00:41:59,800
Speaker 1: Mayfield is starting and David Bellamy finds his way in

902
00:41:59,800 --> 00:42:02,200
Speaker 1: the That would be kind of nice those two. Those

903
00:42:02,200 --> 00:42:04,239
Speaker 1: two have met before in the Rose Bowl, and then

904
00:42:04,280 --> 00:42:06,040
Speaker 1: they met after the Rose Bowl with one of the

905
00:42:06,080 --> 00:42:11,360
Speaker 1: funnier quotes of all time hashtag humble yourself from Davin Bellamer. So,

906
00:42:11,960 --> 00:42:14,840
Speaker 1: uh it was, you know, well, we'll see. But I

907
00:42:14,960 --> 00:42:17,800
Speaker 1: just look at the AFC South, the AFC North. Excuse

908
00:42:17,880 --> 00:42:21,319
Speaker 1: me as I put it on part THEFC East. I

909
00:42:21,400 --> 00:42:24,359
Speaker 1: just if the Texans were in the AFC North, just

910
00:42:24,400 --> 00:42:26,560
Speaker 1: take out, take out the Steelers, and put the Texans

911
00:42:26,560 --> 00:42:29,319
Speaker 1: in there. I think the Texans Texas could realistically go

912
00:42:29,360 --> 00:42:31,440
