1
00:00:00,800 --> 00:00:04,440
Speaker 1: Here's the snats looking tuxtaball diving for the blog that

2
00:00:04,640 --> 00:00:10,440
Speaker 1: he's got it, Razzle tazzle, touchdown, Houstons and the Texans

3
00:00:10,600 --> 00:00:14,600
Speaker 1: go in front. Game day is every day. We had

4
00:00:14,600 --> 00:00:16,079
Speaker 1: a lot of energy and we brought a lot of

5
00:00:16,200 --> 00:00:21,520
Speaker 1: spark for this organization. Five nights a week, they hits,

6
00:00:21,640 --> 00:00:25,119
Speaker 1: keep on coming, calls out. The Texans say they have

7
00:00:25,239 --> 00:00:30,840
Speaker 1: it and they do. No. It's Texans All Access presented

8
00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:36,479
Speaker 1: by First Community Credit Union. Yes, sir, it is Texas

9
00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:40,320
Speaker 1: All Access. I'm your host as we take you up

10
00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:42,920
Speaker 1: to Thursday night football. I am John Harris, football analyst

11
00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:47,159
Speaker 1: and silent reporter for your Houston Texans, and I believe

12
00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:49,640
Speaker 1: on the other end of the line is my good friend,

13
00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:52,640
Speaker 1: the General from the Houston Chronicle, John McLean. General, How

14
00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:56,360
Speaker 1: you doing this evening? I'm doing great, John. How are you? Ah?

15
00:00:56,520 --> 00:01:00,760
Speaker 1: You know it's weird. General. How do you find Bye Weeks?

16
00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:03,440
Speaker 1: Because I'll be honest with you, Bye weeks are really

17
00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:07,600
Speaker 1: and this one obviously is so different because all the

18
00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:09,760
Speaker 1: COVID stuff and all that. But I always find Bye

19
00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:13,840
Speaker 1: Weeks sort of equal parts relaxing and disconcerting because my

20
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:16,000
Speaker 1: body feels like it should be somewhere in a football field,

21
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:17,840
Speaker 1: and yet it's not. How do you go through a

22
00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:20,560
Speaker 1: bye week? Well, right, every day. The only thing you're

23
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:23,360
Speaker 1: going to haven't done is do zooms every day like

24
00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:26,480
Speaker 1: we usually do with coaches and players. We had all

25
00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:30,280
Speaker 1: the assistant coaches on Tuesday, seemed like there were fifty

26
00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:32,800
Speaker 1: of them, and then of course we had Romeo the

27
00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:36,560
Speaker 1: day before. It's always fun to talk to the assistant coaches.

28
00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:39,399
Speaker 1: I like doing everything in person, but that's not the

29
00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:43,600
Speaker 1: way we're operating during the COVID nineteen pandemic that we have.

30
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:47,040
Speaker 1: So I like the bye week. I like it during

31
00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:49,800
Speaker 1: the middle of the season like it is now. And

32
00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:53,240
Speaker 1: I did my report card at the bye week, which

33
00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:55,920
Speaker 1: is on Texas SportsNation dot com. I'll be in a

34
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:59,440
Speaker 1: chronicle tomorrow. I have Sunday and stated the Texans. I

35
00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:03,840
Speaker 1: wrote a today about going back to Duwayne Brown and

36
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:07,520
Speaker 1: Rick Smith extended him after the two thousand and sixteen

37
00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:10,720
Speaker 1: season with two years left. It could have avoided a

38
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:15,400
Speaker 1: lot of ugliness that came to Dwayne getting traded in Seattle. Also,

39
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:17,920
Speaker 1: there would have been no need to trade for Laramie

40
00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:20,840
Speaker 1: Tounsil because as I watched Sunday night, and I know

41
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:24,280
Speaker 1: you did too. Dwayne's still playing very well at thirty

42
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:27,280
Speaker 1: five for the Seahawks. And when I watched him and

43
00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:31,000
Speaker 1: Carlos side in DeAndre Hopkins, and I thought about all

44
00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:35,120
Speaker 1: the other Texans who were playing with other teams, and

45
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:38,000
Speaker 1: I thought about, man, how much better would they have

46
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:40,400
Speaker 1: been if they'd have found a way to hang on

47
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:43,280
Speaker 1: to them. But and what fans and a lot of

48
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:46,799
Speaker 1: media people don't, don't they know? But he can't pay

49
00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:50,440
Speaker 1: every player every bit of money he wants. Like I'm

50
00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:53,880
Speaker 1: working on my mailbag for it'll be posted on Texas

51
00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:56,200
Speaker 1: Sports Nation in the morning, and I've got a lot

52
00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:58,440
Speaker 1: of fans responded to what I wrote, John and what

53
00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:02,440
Speaker 1: I said, Hey, yeah, Brian, let Ben Jones and Brandon

54
00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:05,480
Speaker 1: Brooks get away. And I'm going to respond, you can't

55
00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:09,800
Speaker 1: pay everybody what they want. There's no luxury tax in

56
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:13,880
Speaker 1: the NFL that you can go over the salary cap

57
00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:17,720
Speaker 1: and pay. Hard decisions have to be made. My problem

58
00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:21,640
Speaker 1: is not with some of the decisions that the Texans

59
00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:24,840
Speaker 1: have made. And it's not all Bill O'Brien. He didn't

60
00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:29,200
Speaker 1: didn't one that told Dwayne Brown know is that what

61
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:32,160
Speaker 1: they got for some of these guys players who are

62
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:35,880
Speaker 1: not doing what they were supposed to. Larrmy Tounsil's playing

63
00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:38,720
Speaker 1: really well. You know, one of the attractive points for

64
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:42,360
Speaker 1: a new coach. You have a great young quarterback who's

65
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:46,360
Speaker 1: on a pace to set career highs for touchdowns, yards,

66
00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:51,320
Speaker 1: completion percentage, passer rating, and average yards per attempt, which

67
00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:54,440
Speaker 1: he leads the NFL in And you have your two tackles,

68
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:57,080
Speaker 1: and you have an owner that spends a lot of

69
00:03:57,080 --> 00:04:00,840
Speaker 1: money and wants to know what's going on, but doesn't

70
00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:04,400
Speaker 1: force you to make decisions. You know, he hired Bill O'Brien,

71
00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:09,200
Speaker 1: and he hired Jackie easter Be and he if Bill

72
00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:12,720
Speaker 1: said I'm going to trade DeAndre Opkins. The mcnaires are

73
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:15,800
Speaker 1: not Jerry Jones. They don't sit in there and decide

74
00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:18,159
Speaker 1: what's going to happen. And for a new GM and

75
00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:23,280
Speaker 1: a new coach, that's an attractive situation. Plus, as I've

76
00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:26,440
Speaker 1: settled every show this week, I don't think this is

77
00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:29,440
Speaker 1: a long rebuild. They have guys that have played really

78
00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:32,600
Speaker 1: well in the past, like Zach Cunningham and Justin Reid

79
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:34,720
Speaker 1: who or not, And I don't think all of a

80
00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:37,760
Speaker 1: sudden their careers are going backward. I think I look

81
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:40,480
Speaker 1: for them to bounce back, so I don't think I

82
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:43,200
Speaker 1: think it's more like twenty thirteen when they went from

83
00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:48,440
Speaker 1: two fourteen to nineteen seven in one season. And I think, John,

84
00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:51,120
Speaker 1: when you talk about a rebuild and you mentioned it,

85
00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:54,479
Speaker 1: you've got your two cornerstone tackles, you've got your quarterback.

86
00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:58,240
Speaker 1: Obviously Sho said that first you got your two cornerstone tackles.

87
00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:02,360
Speaker 1: So offensively, you you like you can get that. I mean, look,

88
00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:05,600
Speaker 1: the offense is I don't say doing its part, but

89
00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:09,560
Speaker 1: it's it's putting up points in yards. The defense obviously

90
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:11,960
Speaker 1: needs some things to come through. I think it would

91
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:16,200
Speaker 1: help the defense obviously if Zach did play at play

92
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:18,280
Speaker 1: the way he played in twenty nineteen, if they had

93
00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:21,000
Speaker 1: that going, and obviously they don't have b Mac. But

94
00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:26,200
Speaker 1: you know general, the personnel losses just start accumulating at

95
00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:28,719
Speaker 1: some point, because when you look at the twenty eighteen defense,

96
00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:34,200
Speaker 1: this team had Jeveon Clowney, DJ Reader, Angelo Blackson, Bernardrick McKinney,

97
00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:37,960
Speaker 1: who's obviously hurt, and the secondary was Tyron Matthew, Kareem Jackson,

98
00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:40,960
Speaker 1: Jonathan Joseph. I mean when you have that much go

99
00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:43,800
Speaker 1: out the door, you're gonna you're gonna suffer, especially when

100
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:47,400
Speaker 1: you don't have young guys that are behind them, that

101
00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:51,520
Speaker 1: are absolutely one percent ready to go. So I'm curious.

102
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:54,839
Speaker 1: I saw your article General is so funny about three

103
00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:59,080
Speaker 1: days prior. I don't know why. And it may have

104
00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:00,880
Speaker 1: been that Sunday night when I was watching that Sunday

105
00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:03,040
Speaker 1: night game, and of course you, like you said, there

106
00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:05,680
Speaker 1: were so many former Texans in that and I just

107
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:08,520
Speaker 1: I just grabbed my phone and I didn't even look

108
00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:10,719
Speaker 1: up contracts or anything, the money or anything. I was

109
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:13,279
Speaker 1: just like, well, what would have happened going back to

110
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:15,920
Speaker 1: that Dwayne Brown trade? What? I kind of did the

111
00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:17,440
Speaker 1: same thing you did. I went back and I said,

112
00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:19,960
Speaker 1: all right, well, what if let's do the butterfly effect here?

113
00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:22,599
Speaker 1: What happens if Dwayne is still here? Well, then you

114
00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:24,320
Speaker 1: don't trade for there. I mean, then you've got your

115
00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:28,200
Speaker 1: first round picks. You still draft Titus, but you put

116
00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:30,839
Speaker 1: him on the right side, and now you've got two

117
00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:34,360
Speaker 1: cornerstone tackles, and then of course you're gonna lose some

118
00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:36,800
Speaker 1: of those guys. There's gotta be attrition. Like you said,

119
00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:40,400
Speaker 1: you can't pay any everybody in a salary cap league.

120
00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:43,919
Speaker 1: You just can't do it. But what you could have

121
00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:47,719
Speaker 1: had at that point are not so many lost draft picks.

122
00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:49,840
Speaker 1: But to your point, I heard you. I can't remember

123
00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:52,520
Speaker 1: what show might have been on with with Landry and John,

124
00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:54,000
Speaker 1: and I want to I want to get to something

125
00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:57,400
Speaker 1: that I heard them play again this morning. Because as

126
00:06:57,480 --> 00:07:00,800
Speaker 1: much as I love Lopez, I'm absolutely a percent with

127
00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:03,480
Speaker 1: you General on JJ Watton. We'll get to that in

128
00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:06,040
Speaker 1: just a second. But I agree with you. I do

129
00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:09,320
Speaker 1: think this rebuild is not a long rebuild. There are

130
00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:11,480
Speaker 1: some places where, man, you gotta tear that thing all

131
00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:13,400
Speaker 1: the way down. And I think maybe the Patriots tra

132
00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:15,560
Speaker 1: at that point where the Patriots are like, we need

133
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:19,200
Speaker 1: to tear this thing all the way down. They've got

134
00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:21,080
Speaker 1: the picks, they can they can do it. I don't

135
00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:22,720
Speaker 1: think that's what this is. I think with some of

136
00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:26,840
Speaker 1: the cornerstone pieces that the Texans have, this rebuild, I

137
00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:29,720
Speaker 1: say in air quotes may not be as such. So

138
00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:32,240
Speaker 1: that leads us and we're gonna get to the JJ

139
00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:34,400
Speaker 1: wat thing in the second General, but the trade deadline,

140
00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:37,920
Speaker 1: not just with the Texans, John, but throughout the NFL,

141
00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:42,160
Speaker 1: there really haven't been that many trades. Has that surprised

142
00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:47,960
Speaker 1: you at all? Considering the five day COVID requirements when

143
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:50,640
Speaker 1: players are changing squads. I mean, Yannick and Gokway had

144
00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:52,680
Speaker 1: to go through that, and he was practicing I think

145
00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:55,480
Speaker 1: yesterday to get ready for the Steelers. Are you surprised

146
00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:59,600
Speaker 1: there hasn't been more trade deadline activity? No, let me

147
00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:04,000
Speaker 1: go back to the offense. David Johnson. David Johnson'll be

148
00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:06,240
Speaker 1: one and done. They'll have to get him another running back.

149
00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:10,240
Speaker 1: They need another right guard. I'm assuming since Max Sharping

150
00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:14,520
Speaker 1: started fourteen games last year for ten and sixteen that

151
00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:18,400
Speaker 1: Warner playoff game, it was ninth and rushing, but got

152
00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:20,960
Speaker 1: off to a bad start and they benched him. Now

153
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:24,960
Speaker 1: he's on a COVID nineteen list. I think Max will

154
00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:27,680
Speaker 1: be back at left guard next season, so they need

155
00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:29,960
Speaker 1: a right guard in a running back. They got receivers,

156
00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:32,520
Speaker 1: they get tighty inns, so there's not much they need

157
00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:35,760
Speaker 1: on offense. Like Jacksonville's proof you can find a good

158
00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:39,400
Speaker 1: free agent running back. They get James Robinson, who's done

159
00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:42,040
Speaker 1: a tremendous job at the new GM. Knows what he's doing.

160
00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:47,160
Speaker 1: But about David Johnson right now, he has five hundred

161
00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:51,040
Speaker 1: and fifty three yards. Carlos hide at this time last

162
00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:55,760
Speaker 1: year had four or eighty seven. Now that's rushing in

163
00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:59,319
Speaker 1: receiving hide at more rushing of course, four sixty one

164
00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:02,360
Speaker 1: to three nine two. But Johnson was brought in here

165
00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:04,160
Speaker 1: a part of the reason was he as a receiver.

166
00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:08,640
Speaker 1: Johnson is on a pace for rushing and receiving one thousand,

167
00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:12,280
Speaker 1: two hundred and sixty four yards and ten touchdowns. Now

168
00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:16,880
Speaker 1: that's not terrible, and the ten touchdowns certainly aren't terrible,

169
00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:19,400
Speaker 1: and that would be a lot more yards than Carlos

170
00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:22,920
Speaker 1: Hidehead because Carlos could catch cold. But I do think

171
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:26,199
Speaker 1: that Johnson will be one and done. The defense, the

172
00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:30,760
Speaker 1: secondary is awful. To Sean Gibson got crossways with Bill

173
00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:34,280
Speaker 1: Omriyan cut and so he's starting for a Bears who

174
00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:36,480
Speaker 1: are five and two and had one of the best

175
00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:40,040
Speaker 1: defenses in the league. And I know Eric Murray's played

176
00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:42,760
Speaker 1: a lot. He had met a big clay secondary has

177
00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:46,720
Speaker 1: one turnover, one turnover and as much as they blitz,

178
00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:50,120
Speaker 1: they don't have they don't have one stack. Gaven't him

179
00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:54,000
Speaker 1: lucked into a sacking and a lot of guys who

180
00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:57,040
Speaker 1: played well last year and not played well for whatever reason,

181
00:09:57,480 --> 00:09:59,720
Speaker 1: and they're not like they're at the end of their career.

182
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:03,200
Speaker 1: So that's what the defense. The offense has got to

183
00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:05,720
Speaker 1: score a lot of points because the defense is going

184
00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:08,520
Speaker 1: to give up a lot And even though some teams

185
00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:12,800
Speaker 1: like Cleveland and Detroit are better than we thought they'd be,

186
00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:17,199
Speaker 1: they're still not as good as Kansas City, Baltimore, Pittsburgh,

187
00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:20,839
Speaker 1: Tennessee in Green Bay are five of the teams of

188
00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:23,480
Speaker 1: Texans have lost too. I thought the Texans would be

189
00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:26,360
Speaker 1: three and four before the season. I thought they would

190
00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:32,040
Speaker 1: beat Minnesota in Green Bay and there's but the Minnesota loss,

191
00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:35,240
Speaker 1: which got Bill O'Brien fired, is still the one that's

192
00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:38,120
Speaker 1: the most inexcusable, and it's one of the Texans and

193
00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:41,400
Speaker 1: the Vikings are the most disappointing teams in the NFL.

194
00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:44,560
Speaker 1: But back to the trade deadline, we still got time left.

195
00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:46,880
Speaker 1: But I'm not surprised at all because some of the

196
00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:50,080
Speaker 1: biggest moves are usually made over money and there's not.

197
00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:54,360
Speaker 1: Some players kicking and screaming right now what new deals,

198
00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:57,240
Speaker 1: like say Jalen Ramsey and some other guys that have

199
00:10:57,360 --> 00:11:02,160
Speaker 1: been unloaded at the trading deadline. Do you anticipate it'll

200
00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:04,360
Speaker 1: get going this weekend or do you think it's going

201
00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:07,320
Speaker 1: to be that deadline is Tuesday. It's going to really

202
00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:10,880
Speaker 1: go right up to Tuesday. Well, people ought to be

203
00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:15,400
Speaker 1: busy with other things Tuesday, but a lot of people

204
00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:17,760
Speaker 1: thought they should move it back a week. I don't

205
00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:21,400
Speaker 1: know why they didn't. It's ridiculous to have it on Tuesday,

206
00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:24,439
Speaker 1: and they moved it back before from where it used

207
00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:29,400
Speaker 1: to be. But a lot of people thought last week

208
00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:32,760
Speaker 1: all the trades would be made this week because players

209
00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:37,120
Speaker 1: having the past five consecutive tests, and so I don't

210
00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:40,920
Speaker 1: have any clue about what's going to go. Sometimes, you know,

211
00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:43,520
Speaker 1: say the Bears win, they're six and two, even though

212
00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:46,800
Speaker 1: their offense is awful, they're still in it, and do

213
00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:50,000
Speaker 1: they try to trade for somebody to help shore up

214
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:53,160
Speaker 1: a weakness. I think if after this week you think

215
00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:56,320
Speaker 1: you still have a prayer, like every team does in

216
00:11:56,440 --> 00:12:01,040
Speaker 1: the NFC East, in the NFC West, at least the

217
00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:04,719
Speaker 1: make a wildcard in the West if you don't win

218
00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:07,000
Speaker 1: the division, and of course in the NFC East you're

219
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:09,360
Speaker 1: not going to win a wild card. But maybe those

220
00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:12,440
Speaker 1: teams will do it. But team I've did so many

221
00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:14,640
Speaker 1: people think that Texans are gonna have a fighter sell

222
00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:17,840
Speaker 1: Why would you want to get rid of receivers like

223
00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:22,040
Speaker 1: Will Fuller in Brandon Cooks. Give me them over third

224
00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:24,920
Speaker 1: or fourth round picks coming in there next year that

225
00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:27,520
Speaker 1: you don't have a clue about. You want this to

226
00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:29,680
Speaker 1: be an attractive job for a new coach and a

227
00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:32,440
Speaker 1: new GM Having a bunch of fourth and fifth round

228
00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:35,959
Speaker 1: picks didn't attractive. Having proven players who work well with

229
00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:39,319
Speaker 1: your quarterback and the strength of your team is your offense,

230
00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:43,000
Speaker 1: specifically the passing game. That you don't get rid of

231
00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:47,320
Speaker 1: players I trade Kenny Stell's colly wearing. Teams needs a guard,

232
00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:51,080
Speaker 1: give them Killomette but things like that. But they're not

233
00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:53,400
Speaker 1: going to trade their top players. And I don't understand

234
00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:56,720
Speaker 1: why people are so excited to do it unless they

235
00:12:56,800 --> 00:12:59,079
Speaker 1: got a one or two and there's nobody going to

236
00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:03,640
Speaker 1: bring that general. What do you think happens with Will Fuller?

237
00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:05,920
Speaker 1: And I'm not talking about trade deadline. There's a part

238
00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:07,480
Speaker 1: of me that thinks that he might get moved by

239
00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:11,880
Speaker 1: the trade deadline because this is a contract year and

240
00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:14,800
Speaker 1: I don't know what kind of money command because you

241
00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:16,559
Speaker 1: look at him and think, okay, well he's the number

242
00:13:16,559 --> 00:13:19,000
Speaker 1: one if he's fully healthy, can we trust him to

243
00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:22,080
Speaker 1: be healthy? What do you think happens with Will in

244
00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:24,320
Speaker 1: the future, be it here or somewhere else. What do

245
00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:26,920
Speaker 1: you think they want to resign him? And he's on

246
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:30,079
Speaker 1: a pace for career highs seventy one catches, one thousand

247
00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:33,240
Speaker 1: one or twenty yards and eleven touchdowns and a fifteen

248
00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:37,160
Speaker 1: point eight yard average per catch. He and Brandon Cooks

249
00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:39,959
Speaker 1: have been good for each other. Cooks now has In

250
00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:43,600
Speaker 1: the first three games he had ten catches. Now he's

251
00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:46,880
Speaker 1: got thirty four. He's on a pace for seventy eight

252
00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:51,080
Speaker 1: nine seventy six yards and five touchdowns. So Cooks and Fuller,

253
00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:53,680
Speaker 1: both of them are deep French, have opened up the

254
00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:56,960
Speaker 1: middle of the field for Randall Cobb, Darren Fails, Jordan

255
00:13:57,040 --> 00:14:00,959
Speaker 1: Nakins before he got hurt, and everybody thinks the need

256
00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:03,920
Speaker 1: to incorporate the running backs more in the passing get

257
00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:07,280
Speaker 1: Probably that is you got so many other players to

258
00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:09,920
Speaker 1: throw the ball too. It's not like it's just teaop

259
00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:14,400
Speaker 1: and Fuller's hurt. Now Fuller gets hurt or Brandon Cooks

260
00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:16,760
Speaker 1: gets hurt, then you got to use the running backs

261
00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:20,040
Speaker 1: more in the passing game. But I don't see them

262
00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:23,320
Speaker 1: trading their starters. I think you know their goal is

263
00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:26,320
Speaker 1: not to lose. Their goal is to try to win

264
00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:29,720
Speaker 1: as many games, make the job more attractive for the

265
00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:32,960
Speaker 1: next coach and GM and try to bounce back next

266
00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:36,000
Speaker 1: year the way they did in twenty fourteen when they

267
00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:39,960
Speaker 1: went from two and fourteen and nine and seven. Before

268
00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:43,960
Speaker 1: I ask you about the future, I'll ask you about

269
00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:48,600
Speaker 1: the now and potentially the future. And I heard those

270
00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:51,440
Speaker 1: driving back to where I am staying for the next

271
00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:55,120
Speaker 1: couple of days. I was listening to John and Landry

272
00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:59,360
Speaker 1: and they had a cut of you and John discussing

273
00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:05,560
Speaker 1: the fate of JJ Watt and John is convinced gotta

274
00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:08,200
Speaker 1: move him, and you were saying, no, why would you

275
00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:10,080
Speaker 1: and John? I fall into your camp, But I want

276
00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:13,200
Speaker 1: you to. I want you kind of laid it out

277
00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:15,480
Speaker 1: there talking about not trading any of the starters. But

278
00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:18,160
Speaker 1: I'm not of a mind that I want to trade

279
00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:20,160
Speaker 1: a guy like JJ Watt when I feel like a

280
00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:24,160
Speaker 1: I feel like this read wild won't take that long,

281
00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:27,520
Speaker 1: and be JJ is still playing at a pretty high clip.

282
00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:29,680
Speaker 1: He's not what he was in fourteen, but then again,

283
00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:33,320
Speaker 1: that was otherworldly, So I don't know why. General the

284
00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:35,360
Speaker 1: thought is he gotta move him. We gotta move him

285
00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:38,040
Speaker 1: when he can still play some really darn good football.

286
00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:40,560
Speaker 1: And I think this thing can get turned around rather quickly.

287
00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:45,240
Speaker 1: Number one, I don't think anybody's gonna say, hey, we'll

288
00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:46,840
Speaker 1: give you one at a two for a why Because

289
00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:50,920
Speaker 1: thirty two his contracts gonna be up. He's gonna want

290
00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:53,920
Speaker 1: a new contract. He's on a pace for seven sacks,

291
00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:57,320
Speaker 1: which would be his career low if he stays healthy

292
00:15:57,720 --> 00:16:01,120
Speaker 1: for sixteen Gangs, but he's still there best defensive player.

293
00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:05,120
Speaker 1: He's still been their most consistent defensive player. They don't

294
00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:08,120
Speaker 1: have many defensive players playing worth the darn. They can't

295
00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:10,760
Speaker 1: stop the run, they can't stop the pass. Other than that,

296
00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:15,840
Speaker 1: they're fine. That defense needs either players. Next year, they

297
00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:20,560
Speaker 1: need to fix the secondary and Justin Reid, you know

298
00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:23,960
Speaker 1: him and Zach Cunningham got to start being consistent and

299
00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:27,520
Speaker 1: making big plays like they did last year. But what

300
00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:31,320
Speaker 1: is not going to be traded. He's their best defensive player.

301
00:16:31,720 --> 00:16:34,440
Speaker 1: He is an icon here. And I think if JJ

302
00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:36,640
Speaker 1: went in and said, Cal please give me out of here.

303
00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:39,080
Speaker 1: I can't stand it. Then he's still not going to

304
00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:43,360
Speaker 1: give him away, and that's not the case. And they

305
00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:47,160
Speaker 1: believe too that they can turn it around next year,

306
00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:49,920
Speaker 1: that you don't just go from ten and six to

307
00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:52,800
Speaker 1: two to fourteen or whatever. I still think they're going

308
00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:55,760
Speaker 1: to win five or six games and then be bad

309
00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:57,920
Speaker 1: for a while. Maybe they'll bought him out with a

310
00:16:58,040 --> 00:17:00,920
Speaker 1: third two and fourteen season, but I don't think so,

311
00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:04,120
Speaker 1: not with Watson. Not with Watson playing as well as

312
00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:08,520
Speaker 1: he's playing, and he's playing really well, and especially considering

313
00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:11,040
Speaker 1: teams don't have spent a lot of time worrying about

314
00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:14,119
Speaker 1: to run. Yeah, he's running a lot less. I wrote

315
00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:17,760
Speaker 1: this too, that he's running less now than he has

316
00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:20,640
Speaker 1: in any season up to this point because he's trying

317
00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:22,800
Speaker 1: to be more patient get the ball down the field

318
00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:26,359
Speaker 1: and is working and now that what they need to

319
00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:29,480
Speaker 1: do is be better in the red zone. And this

320
00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:32,000
Speaker 1: offense is going to score a lot of points. And

321
00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:36,000
Speaker 1: but Wat's not going anywhere, you know, but they need

322
00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:39,159
Speaker 1: They're gonna have more injuries, and at some point I

323
00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:41,679
Speaker 1: want to see Jonathan Bernard. I want to see more

324
00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:45,600
Speaker 1: Ross Blacklock, want to see something that John Reid. Those

325
00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:47,919
Speaker 1: young guys are only going to get better. Some of

326
00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:51,040
Speaker 1: these guys are just gonna get worse. I'm with you.

327
00:17:52,880 --> 00:17:55,360
Speaker 1: Here's the thing. Oh, you're waving the white flag when

328
00:17:55,359 --> 00:17:58,120
Speaker 1: you put young guys in Uh not really, I mean yeah,

329
00:17:58,240 --> 00:18:01,760
Speaker 1: when you drafted him for reason. And we are seeing

330
00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:06,040
Speaker 1: rookies throughout the league make plays and do some great things. Heck,

331
00:18:06,040 --> 00:18:08,159
Speaker 1: we're gonna watch a guy tonight for the Carolina Panthers

332
00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:10,160
Speaker 1: at safety that I love, the guy named Jeremy Chen

333
00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:12,800
Speaker 1: who played at Southern Illinois. One heck of a safety.

334
00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:16,880
Speaker 1: The Texans now have one, and Lonnie Johnson they moved

335
00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:19,280
Speaker 1: to safety, which I tried to tell everybody that, but

336
00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:21,679
Speaker 1: nobody wanted to listen until they actually moved him to safety.

337
00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:24,840
Speaker 1: But either way, but you're right, John, They've got to

338
00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:27,440
Speaker 1: see what they have with these young guys. And then

339
00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:31,080
Speaker 1: they activated Isaiah Coulter. That notice came out last night

340
00:18:31,119 --> 00:18:33,359
Speaker 1: that they activated Isaiah Coulter. I don't know where he

341
00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:37,439
Speaker 1: fits in this receiver corps, but I doesn't damn about

342
00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:40,920
Speaker 1: Isaiah Coulter this season. I want to see you. I'm

343
00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:44,200
Speaker 1: not saying put in Grenard and Blacklock and read all

344
00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:47,360
Speaker 1: at the same time the tank terms working him in there.

345
00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:50,840
Speaker 1: Blacklock was a second round pig for a reason. Get

346
00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:54,080
Speaker 1: him in there, let him play more, let him play outside,

347
00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:57,000
Speaker 1: let him play inside, and if he if he keeps

348
00:18:57,400 --> 00:19:00,480
Speaker 1: not playing well, then put him back on the bench. Bernard.

349
00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:03,600
Speaker 1: I put him in a passing situation. I'd say, John

350
00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:07,240
Speaker 1: Sea ball, get ball and see if he can rush

351
00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:10,560
Speaker 1: the pazre like he did at Penn State, I mean

352
00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:13,920
Speaker 1: at Florida and then John Reid. I want to scene

353
00:19:13,960 --> 00:19:17,000
Speaker 1: against some slot receivers. Yeah, and I mean John Reid

354
00:19:17,040 --> 00:19:18,600
Speaker 1: did play early on in the year. And it's funny,

355
00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:21,399
Speaker 1: Drew and I were passing some tech back and forth

356
00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:23,359
Speaker 1: and he said, you know what happened, And he played

357
00:19:23,359 --> 00:19:26,880
Speaker 1: a lot of snaps against Kansas City and then they

358
00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:28,639
Speaker 1: haven't gone back to him. So hopefully we'll get a

359
00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:32,200
Speaker 1: chance to see him John the future. We talk about

360
00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:35,520
Speaker 1: this job, and I'm you know, listening and reading and

361
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:39,600
Speaker 1: all the different especially with no game this weekend, weekend,

362
00:19:39,680 --> 00:19:43,120
Speaker 1: the consumption of just is this job a good job?

363
00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:45,440
Speaker 1: What's this job? Okay? Bill O'Brien did not leave in

364
00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:48,120
Speaker 1: a great state. But you've got a quarterback, You've got

365
00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:52,040
Speaker 1: cornerstone tackles down deep. In general, I think this is

366
00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:54,360
Speaker 1: a pretty good job. I would think gms and head

367
00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:56,120
Speaker 1: coaches are going to find that it's a pretty good job.

368
00:19:56,480 --> 00:19:59,600
Speaker 1: What's your overall thought about the level of this job,

369
00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:03,200
Speaker 1: just in kind of poking around, what do you think,

370
00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:06,200
Speaker 1: Jim and head coach or there? Is it too early

371
00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:09,240
Speaker 1: to kind of pinpoint anybody that might be a frontrunner

372
00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:12,520
Speaker 1: in those situations. First of all, it's not a pretty

373
00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:15,600
Speaker 1: good job. It's a damn good job. The GM's gonna

374
00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:19,520
Speaker 1: want to know, do we have the quarterback in place?

375
00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:23,320
Speaker 1: Without a doubt? They got the quarterback in place? What

376
00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:25,760
Speaker 1: do they have at left tackle? They got it? Where

377
00:20:25,760 --> 00:20:28,919
Speaker 1: do we need work? We need it on defense. The

378
00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:33,280
Speaker 1: McNair family spends a whole lot of money. That cow's

379
00:20:33,359 --> 00:20:37,280
Speaker 1: like his dad. He hires people, whether you agree who

380
00:20:37,280 --> 00:20:40,840
Speaker 1: he's hired, hired, whether you agree if he promotes them

381
00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:44,040
Speaker 1: to general manager. He does it because he believes in

382
00:20:44,119 --> 00:20:46,360
Speaker 1: him and he's not going to step in and go, hey,

383
00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:49,840
Speaker 1: don't make that deal, make this deal. He lets them

384
00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:52,240
Speaker 1: make their deals because he's hired him to do that.

385
00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:56,119
Speaker 1: And then if it doesn't work, then he showed he'll

386
00:20:56,119 --> 00:20:59,000
Speaker 1: fire him. He's fired two gems and he's fired a

387
00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:03,240
Speaker 1: head coach and the family's been patient. Well, Brian lasted

388
00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:06,880
Speaker 1: in to his seventh year. And they spend a lot

389
00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:08,679
Speaker 1: of money and they stay out of it. That's a

390
00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:13,399
Speaker 1: great situation. Houston's a great city, no state income tax.

391
00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:16,680
Speaker 1: You want to live close to Energy Stadium, West Views,

392
00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:20,920
Speaker 1: a great neighborhood, bel Air's a great neighborhood Southside, all

393
00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:24,159
Speaker 1: those places they can't afford a living River Oaks, of course,

394
00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:29,920
Speaker 1: other than Watson. And it's just it's very, very good job.

395
00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:33,040
Speaker 1: Atlanta is a good job. Arthur Blank's the same way.

396
00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:36,000
Speaker 1: And if a GM, okay, let's see Matt Ryan is

397
00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:42,160
Speaker 1: thirty five, Sean Watson's twenty five, and I think both

398
00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:48,520
Speaker 1: of those. I've had so many agents, former general managers,

399
00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:54,600
Speaker 1: guys who are with teams who want to interview contact

400
00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:58,880
Speaker 1: me directly or through third parties. Want to know who

401
00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:01,040
Speaker 1: do they get in touch with? Do they get in

402
00:22:01,080 --> 00:22:04,320
Speaker 1: touch with kel McNair, Jackie us to be Corn Ferry,

403
00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:08,200
Speaker 1: I'd say, well, don't call kel McNair. You know he's

404
00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:11,320
Speaker 1: on the search committee and he'll make the ultimate decision.

405
00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:14,040
Speaker 1: But he's an owner he's not Jerry Jones in there

406
00:22:14,119 --> 00:22:18,600
Speaker 1: getting his hands dirty every day. They'll start interviewing gems

407
00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:21,840
Speaker 1: when they're available, and I would imagine they'll interview some

408
00:22:22,480 --> 00:22:26,359
Speaker 1: before it's over. Thomas to meet Drove, John Dorsey, those guys.

409
00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:30,560
Speaker 1: There's a line out there. And so as far as

410
00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:34,639
Speaker 1: the front runner for a coach, no, everybody says, be enemy.

411
00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:37,240
Speaker 1: I want to know why he's interviewed five or six

412
00:22:37,320 --> 00:22:39,560
Speaker 1: times had not been hired. I want to know why

413
00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:42,719
Speaker 1: Greg Roman hadn't been hired. Brian dave Ball. It's not

414
00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:46,560
Speaker 1: going to be Josh Muck Daniels and enter their kid

415
00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:50,840
Speaker 1: Cliff Kingsbury success. Does that make a college coach with

416
00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:54,479
Speaker 1: a wide open attack and success with quarterbacks? Does that

417
00:22:54,560 --> 00:22:59,080
Speaker 1: make more of them? Candidates? Will Lincoln Riley decide it's

418
00:22:59,119 --> 00:23:02,920
Speaker 1: time to leave you with Dabo Sweeney decided he wants

419
00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:07,880
Speaker 1: to leave Clemson. You know you leave no stone unturned,

420
00:23:07,920 --> 00:23:11,800
Speaker 1: and I know it's a good job based on everything

421
00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:15,040
Speaker 1: I've been told by people. I haven't even had several

422
00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:19,119
Speaker 1: former coaches reach out to me, and I try to

423
00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:21,960
Speaker 1: be nice to everybody, and then when I hang up,

424
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:25,360
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh my god, No, I think I'm crazy.

425
00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:29,320
Speaker 1: I'm not recommending you. You know, General were one year

426
00:23:29,359 --> 00:23:33,119
Speaker 1: too late because the one guy I think would have

427
00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:37,680
Speaker 1: been a absolute one thousand percent slam dunk perfect fit

428
00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:40,000
Speaker 1: would have been Matt Rule. I think Matt Rule would

429
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:43,600
Speaker 1: have been absolutely perfect here. Well, cal I want to

430
00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:46,639
Speaker 1: spend fifty six million dollars to iris next coach with

431
00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:50,840
Speaker 1: bonuses and get him up around seventy five. Call Lincoln

432
00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:54,000
Speaker 1: Riley and I tell you, Matt Rule always wanted to

433
00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:56,159
Speaker 1: go to the NFL. We all knew about it. We

434
00:23:56,280 --> 00:23:59,080
Speaker 1: talked about it on my shows in Waco. He didn't

435
00:23:59,160 --> 00:24:01,159
Speaker 1: hide it. And I'll talked to a couple of his

436
00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:04,160
Speaker 1: former players instead. They knew it too, but they love

437
00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:06,800
Speaker 1: the guy. They gave him everything they had, and he

438
00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:09,320
Speaker 1: wanted to come back to the NFL. And I'm sure

439
00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:13,040
Speaker 1: there's college quarter coaches out there would love to work

440
00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:18,120
Speaker 1: with Sean Watson General. I when he I read somewhere

441
00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:20,439
Speaker 1: after he was one and ten his first yet Baylor,

442
00:24:20,520 --> 00:24:22,760
Speaker 1: that he had had some NFL interviews, and I was

443
00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:28,000
Speaker 1: kind of like, that's interesting. And Nacos interviewed him him

444
00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:33,000
Speaker 1: after he won one game, YEP, and he Ballard was

445
00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:37,840
Speaker 1: very interested in him very interested in him. Now, I

446
00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:42,000
Speaker 1: think it worked out for Chris getting the Chris Ballard

447
00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:45,000
Speaker 1: could not have fallen jelly up any more than he did,

448
00:24:45,119 --> 00:24:49,200
Speaker 1: because Chris Ballard would have had Josh McDaniels to deal with,

449
00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:53,720
Speaker 1: and instead McDaniels leaves and he ends up with Frank Wright,

450
00:24:53,760 --> 00:24:56,000
Speaker 1: which couldn't have been a better situation for Chris. So

451
00:24:56,520 --> 00:24:59,240
Speaker 1: I mean for Chris who I know, it's great for him,

452
00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:02,560
Speaker 1: but general, I just I wish that Matt Rue. I

453
00:25:02,560 --> 00:25:04,720
Speaker 1: think so highly of him and how he does things.

454
00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:06,159
Speaker 1: I think he would have been well. He has a

455
00:25:06,280 --> 00:25:10,359
Speaker 1: defensive background, yes, and there's defensive coaches out there that

456
00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:14,439
Speaker 1: cal McNair should consider. Matt Eberfoots of India is very

457
00:25:14,760 --> 00:25:18,760
Speaker 1: very highly thought of. Everybody, says Wenk Martindale at Baltimore

458
00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:21,360
Speaker 1: is ready to be a head coach. Todd Balls, who

459
00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:24,399
Speaker 1: went ten and six and then three losing season with

460
00:25:24,520 --> 00:25:27,720
Speaker 1: the Jets, but everybody loses with the Jets. Todd Balls

461
00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:30,520
Speaker 1: has a number one defense in the NFL, and people

462
00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:34,480
Speaker 1: talk about Tom Brady and as receivers look at their defense,

463
00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:37,879
Speaker 1: number one overall, number one against the run. Todd Bowles

464
00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:41,879
Speaker 1: deserves another chance there's defensive coaches out there who are

465
00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:47,159
Speaker 1: really good that I think cal McNair ought ought to consider.

466
00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:49,960
Speaker 1: And I'll tell you something else. You got corn Ferry,

467
00:25:50,040 --> 00:25:53,840
Speaker 1: the surgeon firm everybody uses. I'd be very careful about

468
00:25:53,920 --> 00:25:57,119
Speaker 1: using their clients, because they recommend their clients. I'd be

469
00:25:57,280 --> 00:26:00,600
Speaker 1: very careful about who. I try to review as many

470
00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:03,720
Speaker 1: as possible to get as many ideas as I could.

471
00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:07,920
Speaker 1: But I wouldn't say we'd have to hire an offensive coach,

472
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:10,400
Speaker 1: and he can hire a defensive coach who can bring

473
00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:13,440
Speaker 1: in a good offensive coach. I wrote this last week

474
00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:16,880
Speaker 1: about how many teams of winning records our defensive coaches

475
00:26:17,359 --> 00:26:20,879
Speaker 1: instead of just offensive and having fired up having a

476
00:26:20,960 --> 00:26:24,119
Speaker 1: former NFL coach has been fired. Pete Carroll by fired

477
00:26:24,200 --> 00:26:28,040
Speaker 1: twice ye before he rented himself it reinvented himself at

478
00:26:28,160 --> 00:26:31,680
Speaker 1: USC and he's he's been a great coach at Seattle.

479
00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:34,320
Speaker 1: So that's why you hire a search firm, and you

480
00:26:34,359 --> 00:26:37,560
Speaker 1: put your committee together and they started working on it,

481
00:26:37,920 --> 00:26:40,080
Speaker 1: and now they've got to make sure they hire the

482
00:26:40,160 --> 00:26:44,879
Speaker 1: right guy. Belichick Carroll read those are the three year

483
00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:47,160
Speaker 1: off the top of my head, all fired and then

484
00:26:47,280 --> 00:26:51,040
Speaker 1: ended up going elsewhere. And finding really nice gigs and

485
00:26:51,080 --> 00:26:52,800
Speaker 1: doing very very well. General, what you got going on

486
00:26:52,840 --> 00:26:54,280
Speaker 1: the Chronicle. I know it's a bye week, but I

487
00:26:54,320 --> 00:26:57,119
Speaker 1: know you guys have been really killing it with the content.

488
00:26:57,240 --> 00:26:59,200
Speaker 1: Y'all been putting out what you got? Oh, thank you, John,

489
00:26:59,240 --> 00:27:01,240
Speaker 1: I got my report work card. It's the bad week.

490
00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:05,040
Speaker 1: It's on Texas Sports Nation. Also is running in the

491
00:27:05,119 --> 00:27:07,960
Speaker 1: Chronicle tomorrow's Sunday. I've got a State of the Texans.

492
00:27:08,320 --> 00:27:11,720
Speaker 1: Aaron Wilson's got stories every day. We got podcasts and

493
00:27:11,840 --> 00:27:14,720
Speaker 1: our two television shows we do for Channel two and

494
00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:17,760
Speaker 1: AT and T Sports NAT. We have them on Texas

495
00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:20,679
Speaker 1: Sports Nation. So thank you very much, John, and I

496
00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:23,320
Speaker 1: will talk to you soon and have a great weekend.

497
00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:26,600
Speaker 1: You got a general, thank you very much. And hopefully

498
00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:29,320
Speaker 1: the General gave a Texans Stilo reporter and a plus.

499
00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:31,320
Speaker 1: I'm hoping it might be the first ad having a

500
00:27:31,359 --> 00:27:34,560
Speaker 1: long time. So there you go. The General from the

501
00:27:34,600 --> 00:27:37,480
Speaker 1: Houston Chronckell John McLean also, like you said, Texas Sports

502
00:27:37,560 --> 00:27:40,520
Speaker 1: Nation Day that article he did. It's interesting because I

503
00:27:40,560 --> 00:27:45,800
Speaker 1: did that same kind of exercise, if you will. It

504
00:27:45,920 --> 00:27:48,959
Speaker 1: was amazing what came out of it, and in fact,

505
00:27:49,520 --> 00:27:51,760
Speaker 1: with a first round pick in twenty twenty, I ended

506
00:27:51,840 --> 00:27:54,520
Speaker 1: up drafting Clyde Edwards Hilaire because we would had first

507
00:27:54,600 --> 00:27:56,440
Speaker 1: round picks last year because we still had Dwayne Brown.

508
00:27:56,520 --> 00:27:58,399
Speaker 1: So I went through and I did the twenty nineteen

509
00:27:58,480 --> 00:28:01,080
Speaker 1: draft over, I did the twenty twenty draft over. I

510
00:28:01,160 --> 00:28:03,439
Speaker 1: came up with new starting lineups on both sides of

511
00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:05,720
Speaker 1: the ball. I was like, I just went kind of crazy,

512
00:28:06,160 --> 00:28:08,120
Speaker 1: because that's what can happen if you use the word if.

513
00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:10,240
Speaker 1: All Right, on the other side of this, we've got

514

00:30:34,880 --> 00:30:37,320
Speaker 1: a silent reporter, and I do a lot of stuff

552
00:30:37,360 --> 00:30:40,000
Speaker 1: with Texacts. So I've been watching our next guest for

553
00:30:40,040 --> 00:30:43,240
Speaker 1: a long time and he is a cult hero in

554
00:30:43,320 --> 00:30:47,280
Speaker 1: college station. And when he walked around the sidelines for

555
00:30:47,400 --> 00:30:49,720
Speaker 1: Texas Bowl last year Oklahoma State in Texas Am, it

556
00:30:49,720 --> 00:30:53,480
Speaker 1: was unbelievable. Everybody and everybody were in maroon. One of

557
00:30:53,480 --> 00:30:55,440
Speaker 1: the piece of calling Gillespia and Dpcity who had a

558
00:30:55,520 --> 00:30:58,520
Speaker 1: chance to catch up with Gilly and talk about any

559
00:30:58,560 --> 00:31:01,720
Speaker 1: number of things. Here it is Deepe ticket away, Colin.

560
00:31:01,760 --> 00:31:04,440
Speaker 1: How's it going year two for you? I haven't had

561
00:31:04,480 --> 00:31:06,880
Speaker 1: a chance to really catch up with you much this offseason,

562
00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:09,480
Speaker 1: but here you are. How has this season been going

563
00:31:09,520 --> 00:31:11,560
Speaker 1: for you? Especially now that you're not a rookie anymore.

564
00:31:11,600 --> 00:31:14,200
Speaker 1: It's definitely great to not be a rookie. It comes

565
00:31:14,200 --> 00:31:16,320
Speaker 1: with a little more a little more privileged, a little

566
00:31:16,320 --> 00:31:20,320
Speaker 1: bit longer of a leash. But you know, the mindset

567
00:31:20,360 --> 00:31:22,400
Speaker 1: really hasn't changed. Every day. I'm here to earn my

568
00:31:22,480 --> 00:31:24,440
Speaker 1: job and I'm just really trying to do anything I

569
00:31:24,480 --> 00:31:27,200
Speaker 1: can to keep myself on the field and help this

570
00:31:27,240 --> 00:31:29,400
Speaker 1: team in any way possible. It's hard to believe that

571
00:31:29,440 --> 00:31:32,840
Speaker 1: you really only it's only your third year playing fullback.

572
00:31:32,960 --> 00:31:34,960
Speaker 1: You played your final year at A and M and

573
00:31:34,960 --> 00:31:38,000
Speaker 1: then obviously last year. But when you go from college

574
00:31:38,040 --> 00:31:40,880
Speaker 1: football to the pros and playing fullback, what was what

575
00:31:40,920 --> 00:31:42,800
Speaker 1: do you think was the steepest part of the learning

576
00:31:42,840 --> 00:31:44,360
Speaker 1: curve for you? What was the toughest thing for you

577
00:31:44,400 --> 00:31:47,880
Speaker 1: to really adjust to Really just kind of learning everything

578
00:31:48,520 --> 00:31:50,840
Speaker 1: going on around me, learning the offense as a whole

579
00:31:50,840 --> 00:31:53,360
Speaker 1: and not just you know, specifically what I was doing

580
00:31:53,400 --> 00:31:55,680
Speaker 1: my last year at at A and M. I kind

581
00:31:55,680 --> 00:31:58,880
Speaker 1: of had to memorize, you know, what I was doing

582
00:31:58,960 --> 00:32:00,840
Speaker 1: on each specific play and not really know what was

583
00:32:00,880 --> 00:32:02,800
Speaker 1: going on around me. Um, I kind of had to

584
00:32:02,880 --> 00:32:05,160
Speaker 1: hit the ground running. But you know, going into last year,

585
00:32:05,200 --> 00:32:06,920
Speaker 1: then having another off season under my belt and really

586
00:32:06,920 --> 00:32:09,600
Speaker 1: getting to learn the offense better. You definitely feel more

587
00:32:09,640 --> 00:32:13,040
Speaker 1: comfortable in a fullback role and feel more comfortable, Um,

588
00:32:13,080 --> 00:32:14,960
Speaker 1: you know of what's going on around you. And when

589
00:32:14,960 --> 00:32:17,720
Speaker 1: you know you know what what what the offensive lines doing,

590
00:32:17,760 --> 00:32:20,120
Speaker 1: what the quarterbacks doing. With a running back scene, it's

591
00:32:20,120 --> 00:32:23,000
Speaker 1: easier to be on the same page and you know,

592
00:32:23,080 --> 00:32:26,480
Speaker 1: really flow better with the offense. Yeah, and you mentioned

593
00:32:26,520 --> 00:32:29,200
Speaker 1: the off season and building some chemistry with the old lineman.

594
00:32:29,240 --> 00:32:32,400
Speaker 1: I know that you worked out at was it Martin's

595
00:32:32,480 --> 00:32:37,400
Speaker 1: Jim Martin's Fitness What was that like working out with

596
00:32:37,440 --> 00:32:39,240
Speaker 1: a bunch of old lineman. Was that part of your

597
00:32:39,280 --> 00:32:41,320
Speaker 1: off season plan was just to work out with the

598
00:32:41,360 --> 00:32:45,120
Speaker 1: big guys? Definitely not part of my off season plan, um,

599
00:32:45,240 --> 00:32:49,120
Speaker 1: but it ended up working out. I got really strong. Um. Obviously,

600
00:32:49,160 --> 00:32:51,680
Speaker 1: when when you're in the gym with Nick Martin and

601
00:32:51,720 --> 00:32:53,800
Speaker 1: Max Sharping or the were the two guys I generally

602
00:32:53,840 --> 00:32:56,720
Speaker 1: worked out with every day, it's, uh, you know, they're

603
00:32:56,840 --> 00:32:59,360
Speaker 1: they're obviously a lot bigger than me, so but I'm

604
00:32:59,360 --> 00:33:00,920
Speaker 1: not going to be the guy who's not putting the

605
00:33:00,920 --> 00:33:02,719
Speaker 1: weight on the bar. So you're kind of forced to

606
00:33:02,720 --> 00:33:04,640
Speaker 1: try and use their weights and keep up with them,

607
00:33:04,680 --> 00:33:07,720
Speaker 1: and so it was hard at first, but I kind

608
00:33:07,720 --> 00:33:09,959
Speaker 1: of started to find my stride and really start to

609
00:33:10,680 --> 00:33:14,520
Speaker 1: get stronger. So I'm not necessarily against doing it again

610
00:33:14,560 --> 00:33:18,400
Speaker 1: next year, all right, Martin, If Martin's Fitness is open

611
00:33:18,480 --> 00:33:23,640
Speaker 1: for business, okay, I'll be knocking on the door at

612
00:33:23,680 --> 00:33:27,000
Speaker 1: seven am a open up the garage. Good to know

613
00:33:27,120 --> 00:33:29,560
Speaker 1: you know where he lives, so that helps. Everyone knows

614
00:33:29,560 --> 00:33:31,800
Speaker 1: your story about The twelfth Man. Maybe you're sick of

615
00:33:31,920 --> 00:33:34,360
Speaker 1: talking about it. I'm never sick of hearing about it.

616
00:33:34,360 --> 00:33:37,640
Speaker 1: It's such a great, great story, and I think a

617
00:33:37,680 --> 00:33:39,480
Speaker 1: lot of people need to know that you are now

618
00:33:39,560 --> 00:33:44,600
Speaker 1: an Emmy winner because the documentary Gilly won a lone

619
00:33:44,600 --> 00:33:48,840
Speaker 1: Star Emmy Award. Congratulations first and foremost on that is

620
00:33:48,960 --> 00:33:52,080
Speaker 1: it was I mean, sure you can claim that I

621
00:33:52,200 --> 00:33:54,640
Speaker 1: won an Emmy. Um, I don't think I did too much.

622
00:33:55,560 --> 00:33:58,200
Speaker 1: I think it Emmy definitely goes to Texas Film Works

623
00:33:59,200 --> 00:34:01,640
Speaker 1: in Texas as well, and then one of the main

624
00:34:01,640 --> 00:34:05,280
Speaker 1: producers in Clay Taylor. He worked with me every day.

625
00:34:05,920 --> 00:34:08,720
Speaker 1: Really it was kind of like his his project baby,

626
00:34:08,760 --> 00:34:10,880
Speaker 1: because he really wanted to make it well. He started

627
00:34:10,920 --> 00:34:14,520
Speaker 1: at doing social media stuff for A and M and

628
00:34:15,640 --> 00:34:18,279
Speaker 1: doing the Pulse, which I think as well won an

629
00:34:18,280 --> 00:34:20,640
Speaker 1: Emmy Award. So I knew who was going to do

630
00:34:20,640 --> 00:34:22,800
Speaker 1: a good job with it. You know, my story was

631
00:34:22,840 --> 00:34:24,120
Speaker 1: in his hands. I was really excited to see the

632
00:34:24,120 --> 00:34:26,640
Speaker 1: finished product and and it honestly turned out better than

633
00:34:26,640 --> 00:34:29,360
Speaker 1: I could imagine. Um and then and now I guess

634
00:34:29,440 --> 00:34:31,319
Speaker 1: I can add that to my resume. I am an

635
00:34:31,320 --> 00:34:34,120
Speaker 1: Emmy Award winner. But again, you know, it wasn't It

636
00:34:34,120 --> 00:34:36,040
Speaker 1: wasn't me. I wasn't acting. I was just kind of

637
00:34:36,120 --> 00:34:38,360
Speaker 1: up there talking on screen. And I think it goes

638
00:34:38,880 --> 00:34:41,680
Speaker 1: goes out to Clay Texas film Works and Telex Textags

639
00:34:42,200 --> 00:34:44,320
Speaker 1: and all the people involved making that film. It was

640
00:34:44,400 --> 00:34:46,520
Speaker 1: they did a great job. Yeah, how did they How

641
00:34:46,560 --> 00:34:48,920
Speaker 1: did it even come about? Because I do remember when

642
00:34:48,960 --> 00:34:51,799
Speaker 1: the Texans drafted you. You were sitting there with all

643
00:34:51,840 --> 00:34:53,960
Speaker 1: your family and friends, and there were a lot of

644
00:34:54,040 --> 00:34:57,440
Speaker 1: cameras and I thought, this is not your normal camera

645
00:34:57,480 --> 00:35:00,600
Speaker 1: set up. Yet there were some beautiful professional photos and

646
00:35:00,680 --> 00:35:03,360
Speaker 1: I found out later that they were filming a documentary

647
00:35:03,360 --> 00:35:04,879
Speaker 1: on you. But it seems like it had been going

648
00:35:04,960 --> 00:35:07,920
Speaker 1: on a while. So when did they first approach you?

649
00:35:07,960 --> 00:35:09,960
Speaker 1: At what point in your career did they did the

650
00:35:10,280 --> 00:35:13,960
Speaker 1: filming and all that start. It started like around like

651
00:35:13,960 --> 00:35:16,920
Speaker 1: when I was in combine training. They had contacted my

652
00:35:17,040 --> 00:35:19,080
Speaker 1: dad and um a couple of guys who worked at

653
00:35:19,080 --> 00:35:21,600
Speaker 1: Texas and contacted me and like, hey, this is something

654
00:35:21,640 --> 00:35:25,040
Speaker 1: we were interested in doing. So going forward, once I

655
00:35:25,120 --> 00:35:27,200
Speaker 1: kind of went back to A and M for pro Day,

656
00:35:27,400 --> 00:35:30,200
Speaker 1: they really started all the filming right there because I

657
00:35:30,239 --> 00:35:33,320
Speaker 1: was there for about two weeks doing workouts and other stuff.

658
00:35:33,360 --> 00:35:35,880
Speaker 1: So I went back and they started getting you know,

659
00:35:35,920 --> 00:35:40,040
Speaker 1: like v roll footage there and then really kind of

660
00:35:40,080 --> 00:35:42,400
Speaker 1: did a lot of the interviews leading up to the draft,

661
00:35:42,440 --> 00:35:44,440
Speaker 1: and then they were there at the draft, which is,

662
00:35:45,160 --> 00:35:49,000
Speaker 1: like you said, you know, your typical seventh round pick

663
00:35:49,400 --> 00:35:52,319
Speaker 1: or possible free agent doesn't normally have cameras and all

664
00:35:52,360 --> 00:35:54,440
Speaker 1: types of stuff going on to the party. So it

665
00:35:54,480 --> 00:35:58,839
Speaker 1: was it was a little different. But in the end,

666
00:35:58,880 --> 00:36:00,440
Speaker 1: I'm glad they were there to document it at all.

667
00:36:00,440 --> 00:36:01,840
Speaker 1: You know, it was it was a great day, and

668
00:36:02,200 --> 00:36:03,960
Speaker 1: I'm glad that they got to capture it all in

669
00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:07,480
Speaker 1: film and kind of you know, really really put my

670
00:36:07,480 --> 00:36:10,759
Speaker 1: story together, and you know, it's it's it's great that

671
00:36:10,880 --> 00:36:13,080
Speaker 1: other people watching it, but but just for me, you know,

672
00:36:13,120 --> 00:36:16,440
Speaker 1: to show my future family one day, you know, this

673
00:36:16,520 --> 00:36:19,200
Speaker 1: is what I did. Or hopefully I'm not still living

674
00:36:19,200 --> 00:36:21,279
Speaker 1: in the past, but maybe um, you know, I can

675
00:36:21,280 --> 00:36:24,360
Speaker 1: show them. But no, so they they filmed up to

676
00:36:24,400 --> 00:36:27,680
Speaker 1: there and then they came into the facility after one

677
00:36:27,760 --> 00:36:30,360
Speaker 1: day over the summer and got a little bit more footage.

678
00:36:30,360 --> 00:36:33,080
Speaker 1: But it was a really cool process and getting to see,

679
00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:36,040
Speaker 1: really getting to see how a film like that is

680
00:36:36,120 --> 00:36:38,680
Speaker 1: made of all the things you do talk about and

681
00:36:38,719 --> 00:36:40,640
Speaker 1: all the things they film and then it gets compressed

682
00:36:40,680 --> 00:36:42,239
Speaker 1: down in the twenty minutes and what they do put

683
00:36:42,280 --> 00:36:43,560
Speaker 1: in and don't put in. It was kind of cool

684
00:36:43,560 --> 00:36:45,799
Speaker 1: to see the behind the scenes look of it. Did

685
00:36:45,800 --> 00:36:48,080
Speaker 1: you enjoy the whole process? Was it? Was it fun?

686
00:36:48,200 --> 00:36:49,960
Speaker 1: Some people like the camera's falling them around, and other

687
00:36:49,960 --> 00:36:52,120
Speaker 1: people get kind of annoyed by it. But you seem

688
00:36:52,160 --> 00:36:56,000
Speaker 1: so comfortable talking, Um, I mean you see he seems so.

689
00:36:56,040 --> 00:36:58,399
Speaker 1: I mean that's I feel like you are a very

690
00:36:58,760 --> 00:37:02,719
Speaker 1: outgoing person. The camera loves me and you like me.

691
00:37:03,120 --> 00:37:05,439
Speaker 1: Was it was it fun? Was it? Did it get

692
00:37:05,440 --> 00:37:07,239
Speaker 1: old after a while because you you were like in

693
00:37:07,239 --> 00:37:09,560
Speaker 1: a really crazy time in your life preparing for the

694
00:37:09,680 --> 00:37:12,399
Speaker 1: NFL draft. I mean, I've never really been been shy

695
00:37:12,440 --> 00:37:16,200
Speaker 1: around cameras. Um, normally, if someone puts a camera in

696
00:37:16,200 --> 00:37:18,240
Speaker 1: my face, I'm going to do or say something stupid.

697
00:37:18,320 --> 00:37:20,800
Speaker 1: So it wasn't wasn't too big of a deal. And

698
00:37:21,120 --> 00:37:23,200
Speaker 1: it really helped that the people who were filming me

699
00:37:23,239 --> 00:37:25,920
Speaker 1: and conducting the interviews, um, you know, I had known

700
00:37:25,960 --> 00:37:27,520
Speaker 1: for a really long time, so they were really able

701
00:37:27,560 --> 00:37:29,840
Speaker 1: to capture, you know, who I am as a person

702
00:37:29,920 --> 00:37:32,040
Speaker 1: and being able to put funny stuff in there. And

703
00:37:32,080 --> 00:37:35,319
Speaker 1: it wasn't There wasn't an awkwardness, which sometimes whenever you're

704
00:37:35,560 --> 00:37:37,600
Speaker 1: dealing with people you don't really know who are getting

705
00:37:37,600 --> 00:37:39,359
Speaker 1: you on camera for the first time, you can't really

706
00:37:39,520 --> 00:37:42,719
Speaker 1: express your personality or show who you really are. So

707
00:37:42,960 --> 00:37:44,720
Speaker 1: I mean, it was definitely a little bit nerve wracking

708
00:37:44,800 --> 00:37:47,800
Speaker 1: knowing that nerve wracking knowing that I was on drafted,

709
00:37:47,840 --> 00:37:49,360
Speaker 1: that if I didn't get drafted, that you know, that

710
00:37:49,480 --> 00:37:50,759
Speaker 1: was going to be on camera too, So I was

711
00:37:50,760 --> 00:37:52,279
Speaker 1: gonna have to you know, kind of control myself and

712
00:37:52,360 --> 00:37:54,400
Speaker 1: keep it together, and they were going to get all

713
00:37:54,440 --> 00:37:57,640
Speaker 1: that on film. But it ended up working out, and

714
00:37:57,880 --> 00:37:59,759
Speaker 1: and like I said, the people who did it just

715
00:37:59,760 --> 00:38:02,799
Speaker 1: did such a good job, and really I was glad

716
00:38:02,800 --> 00:38:04,239
Speaker 1: to be able to share that experience with them and

717
00:38:04,560 --> 00:38:06,759
Speaker 1: everyone who's watched it. There were two parts that I

718
00:38:06,800 --> 00:38:09,000
Speaker 1: really liked. There was one where I think you were

719
00:38:09,040 --> 00:38:11,879
Speaker 1: doing a radio interview with Billy Lucci and you told

720
00:38:11,920 --> 00:38:14,600
Speaker 1: him to take out and as a radio host we

721
00:38:14,640 --> 00:38:16,440
Speaker 1: go through this sometimes where players like I don't. I

722
00:38:16,480 --> 00:38:19,080
Speaker 1: didn't like how I said that, and you told the

723
00:38:19,080 --> 00:38:20,520
Speaker 1: part that you told him to take out? Do you

724
00:38:20,520 --> 00:38:22,319
Speaker 1: remember that you said take out? The PA You were

725
00:38:22,680 --> 00:38:25,239
Speaker 1: saying to Bed to go to the Houston Texans would

726
00:38:25,239 --> 00:38:26,960
Speaker 1: be a dream come true, because you just didn't want

727
00:38:26,960 --> 00:38:28,800
Speaker 1: to seem like you had all your eggs correct. I

728
00:38:28,840 --> 00:38:31,319
Speaker 1: didn't want another team to see that interview and be like, oh,

729
00:38:31,360 --> 00:38:32,759
Speaker 1: so like you didn't want to play for us, And

730
00:38:32,920 --> 00:38:35,239
Speaker 1: obviously I would have been happy anywhere I went. But

731
00:38:35,680 --> 00:38:38,200
Speaker 1: you know, growing up in Houston going to Texans games

732
00:38:38,239 --> 00:38:40,640
Speaker 1: my entire life and being a fan of the organization,

733
00:38:41,880 --> 00:38:43,520
Speaker 1: I mean, you can't you can't help, but you know,

734
00:38:43,960 --> 00:38:46,360
Speaker 1: route to go play for your hometown team. But that

735
00:38:46,520 --> 00:38:48,719
Speaker 1: was the point I was like, yo, I don't I

736
00:38:48,719 --> 00:38:50,160
Speaker 1: don't know when this is being at least I don't

737
00:38:50,160 --> 00:38:52,200
Speaker 1: know who's gonna hear this. Let's go ahead and cut that.

738
00:38:52,680 --> 00:38:56,520
Speaker 1: Cut that from the interview. I loved three days before

739
00:38:56,600 --> 00:38:58,560
Speaker 1: Draft day. Oh but I love that they put that

740
00:38:58,600 --> 00:39:00,920
Speaker 1: in there because when you know the whole story and

741
00:39:00,960 --> 00:39:03,200
Speaker 1: how it ends, it just makes it. It just seems

742
00:39:03,239 --> 00:39:07,360
Speaker 1: so authentic, your genuine excitement for coming to Houston. The

743
00:39:07,400 --> 00:39:09,239
Speaker 1: other part I loved, and I think this should be

744
00:39:09,239 --> 00:39:13,440
Speaker 1: a spinoff documentary. Um is your mom and all coorries

745
00:39:13,480 --> 00:39:15,440
Speaker 1: that she tells? Because she was talking about how you're

746
00:39:15,480 --> 00:39:19,200
Speaker 1: red shirted for kindergarten? Because I mean, she had so

747
00:39:19,239 --> 00:39:22,399
Speaker 1: many great stories. I think that camera really was looking

748
00:39:22,440 --> 00:39:26,919
Speaker 1: her mom. Yeah, I had people. I had so many

749
00:39:26,920 --> 00:39:29,040
Speaker 1: people hit me and like, oh, your mom was talking

750
00:39:29,080 --> 00:39:31,880
Speaker 1: like I started crying. I was just like, oh, she

751
00:39:32,000 --> 00:39:35,000
Speaker 1: was playing, y'all. I love my mom. She's a she's

752
00:39:35,040 --> 00:39:37,480
Speaker 1: a sweet woman. She she cares about me and my

753
00:39:37,520 --> 00:39:39,200
Speaker 1: little brother more than anyone else in this world. Where

754
00:39:39,480 --> 00:39:42,879
Speaker 1: where her babies, as she calls us. So she's got

755
00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:46,279
Speaker 1: tons of things to say, um, some good, some bad. Um.

756
00:39:46,960 --> 00:39:48,920
Speaker 1: Maybe we can get her on y'all an interviewer sometime.

757
00:39:49,320 --> 00:39:53,280
Speaker 1: But she's a she's a great lady. I go to everything.

758
00:39:53,840 --> 00:39:56,640
Speaker 1: I probably share too much with her in my life.

759
00:39:56,640 --> 00:40:00,000
Speaker 1: She has to tell me to stop talking sometimes, but um, yeah,

760
00:40:00,080 --> 00:40:03,480
Speaker 1: pretty much everything she says is gold. I mean, I

761
00:40:03,520 --> 00:40:05,200
Speaker 1: thought it was so great because she's telling all these

762
00:40:05,280 --> 00:40:06,880
Speaker 1: jokes about you, but when it came down to it,

763
00:40:06,920 --> 00:40:08,880
Speaker 1: she's the one that wanted you to stick to it,

764
00:40:08,920 --> 00:40:11,440
Speaker 1: because that was one question I had for you. I

765
00:40:11,440 --> 00:40:14,919
Speaker 1: actually watched the whole documentary after it won because I'd

766
00:40:14,960 --> 00:40:17,279
Speaker 1: seen I'd seen clips of it. But you know, to

767
00:40:17,360 --> 00:40:19,680
Speaker 1: think that you're the twelfth man, you know, where is

768
00:40:19,719 --> 00:40:22,319
Speaker 1: this going to end? I mean, I remember watching you

769
00:40:22,360 --> 00:40:24,680
Speaker 1: in the Gator Bowl when you scored the touchdown and

770
00:40:24,680 --> 00:40:27,319
Speaker 1: you were so happy, and at that point, did you

771
00:40:27,360 --> 00:40:30,160
Speaker 1: think this could be the last time I ever played football?

772
00:40:30,160 --> 00:40:32,080
Speaker 1: I mean, was that going through your head? Or it

773
00:40:32,160 --> 00:40:34,440
Speaker 1: seems like after watching it you thought that there was

774
00:40:34,680 --> 00:40:37,800
Speaker 1: very much a real possibility that you could work towards

775
00:40:37,840 --> 00:40:42,520
Speaker 1: getting yourself a job in the NFL. For sure, I

776
00:40:42,560 --> 00:40:44,600
Speaker 1: definitely treated that game like it was going to be

777
00:40:44,640 --> 00:40:49,319
Speaker 1: my last game. But you know, after that point, you know,

778
00:40:49,320 --> 00:40:52,560
Speaker 1: the NCAA allows you to talk with agents, you know,

779
00:40:52,640 --> 00:40:55,399
Speaker 1: leading up to the season and kind of figuring out

780
00:40:55,400 --> 00:40:59,200
Speaker 1: what's going to go on after Really I had no

781
00:40:59,600 --> 00:41:02,959
Speaker 1: thought whatsoever about playing in the NFL until really after

782
00:41:03,080 --> 00:41:05,759
Speaker 1: like my fourth year, right red shirt junior season. I

783
00:41:05,800 --> 00:41:08,640
Speaker 1: guess um after that some coaches that approached being like, hey,

784
00:41:08,680 --> 00:41:11,080
Speaker 1: like you might have a shot, and then going to

785
00:41:11,160 --> 00:41:13,000
Speaker 1: my senior year, that was kind of the the approach

786
00:41:13,040 --> 00:41:14,640
Speaker 1: I took that this was the career path I was

787
00:41:14,680 --> 00:41:19,000
Speaker 1: going to try and pursue. But at the end of

788
00:41:19,000 --> 00:41:21,440
Speaker 1: the day, you know, it's it's still the NFL. It's

789
00:41:21,440 --> 00:41:23,319
Speaker 1: the most competitive business in the world. So I just

790
00:41:23,360 --> 00:41:26,080
Speaker 1: tried to do what I could, and after I scored

791
00:41:26,080 --> 00:41:28,080
Speaker 1: the touchdown, they told me to go back in and

792
00:41:28,280 --> 00:41:30,879
Speaker 1: do the last kickoff, and I was like, you know what,

793
00:41:31,400 --> 00:41:33,920
Speaker 1: I think my last play of college football and possibly

794
00:41:33,960 --> 00:41:36,040
Speaker 1: ever should be a touchdown. I knew I was going

795
00:41:36,120 --> 00:41:40,040
Speaker 1: to train and get ready for the draft. I didn't

796
00:41:40,040 --> 00:41:41,440
Speaker 1: know if I was going to get drafted or if

797
00:41:41,440 --> 00:41:43,000
Speaker 1: I was going to play. I figured i'd probably get

798
00:41:43,040 --> 00:41:46,640
Speaker 1: an invite to training camp, but even even that's still

799
00:41:46,800 --> 00:41:49,680
Speaker 1: still a tough road to go down. So I had

800
00:41:49,719 --> 00:41:51,759
Speaker 1: a little bit of knowledge about what was going on,

801
00:41:51,880 --> 00:41:55,000
Speaker 1: but for the most part, it was just like ride

802
00:41:55,000 --> 00:41:57,160
Speaker 1: it out and and play it like it's my last play,

803
00:41:57,239 --> 00:41:59,800
Speaker 1: So that's what If that was my last play of football,

804
00:42:00,480 --> 00:42:02,399
Speaker 1: I would have been able to live with that. Well.

805
00:42:02,440 --> 00:42:04,399
Speaker 1: I know when you were drafted Bill Brian, I mean

806
00:42:04,400 --> 00:42:05,839
Speaker 1: that was one of the things that he really liked

807
00:42:05,880 --> 00:42:08,839
Speaker 1: about you, was your story, your perseverance. It seems very

808
00:42:08,920 --> 00:42:10,920
Speaker 1: much like that's what they like to see as part

809
00:42:10,960 --> 00:42:13,000
Speaker 1: of this Houston Texans locker room, guys that have sort

810
00:42:13,040 --> 00:42:16,120
Speaker 1: of overcome adversity or just been the underdog and fought

811
00:42:16,120 --> 00:42:18,480
Speaker 1: through it and really have a good work ethic. Have

812
00:42:18,560 --> 00:42:20,839
Speaker 1: you ever shared this story with I mean, the guys

813
00:42:20,840 --> 00:42:22,080
Speaker 1: in the locker room know the story. Know A lot

814
00:42:22,120 --> 00:42:25,560
Speaker 1: of guys are not from Texas. Do they all know?

815
00:42:25,760 --> 00:42:28,720
Speaker 1: I mean that I know JJ knew because he tweeted

816
00:42:28,760 --> 00:42:31,960
Speaker 1: you afterwards and said, from one fellow walk on to another.

817
00:42:32,000 --> 00:42:34,440
Speaker 1: But is that something that you've gotten to share with

818
00:42:34,480 --> 00:42:40,160
Speaker 1: your your teammates? Probably too often. I like to talk

819
00:42:40,160 --> 00:42:46,000
Speaker 1: a lot, so they've they've more or less heard about

820
00:42:46,040 --> 00:42:50,759
Speaker 1: it three four eight times. Um. But I think some

821
00:42:50,800 --> 00:42:53,120
Speaker 1: guys know, some guys don't. It is what it is,

822
00:42:54,640 --> 00:42:56,480
Speaker 1: you know, at the end of the day, everyone has

823
00:42:56,480 --> 00:42:59,359
Speaker 1: an amazing story to get where they're at. As much

824
00:42:59,360 --> 00:43:01,560
Speaker 1: as you want to be unique, want to be special.

825
00:43:01,800 --> 00:43:03,960
Speaker 1: Everyone in the NFL is unique and special in their

826
00:43:03,960 --> 00:43:08,440
Speaker 1: own way. So but it's it's it was. It was

827
00:43:08,480 --> 00:43:12,640
Speaker 1: a it was a great honor and it made college

828
00:43:12,640 --> 00:43:15,040
Speaker 1: better than I could have ever imagined it. Really, it was.
