31
00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:32,320
Speaker 1: by the way, just love Nico Collins, twenty twenty one

32
00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:35,680
Speaker 1: third round draft choice for this team, and of course

33
00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:38,080
Speaker 1: Stefan Diggs and Tank Dell and the rest of them.

34
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:40,959
Speaker 1: But Diggs, Nico and Tank kind of a big three

35
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:43,320
Speaker 1: if you will, going into this season. We'll see how

36
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:46,080
Speaker 1: it all works out. But Nico was asked about that trio.

37
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:48,480
Speaker 3: We all got different games. You know, you go two

38
00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:51,160
Speaker 3: about two eleven personnel, they don't know who in the field,

39
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:54,200
Speaker 3: and then you come out and then another little another three.

40
00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:56,600
Speaker 3: You know, I feel like this as a unit, as

41
00:01:56,640 --> 00:01:59,440
Speaker 3: a receiver room, we got the pieces we need, you know,

42
00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:02,560
Speaker 3: and I feel like this is you know, it's gonna

43
00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:04,120
Speaker 3: be gonna be hard for defenses. You know, we gotta

44
00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:06,160
Speaker 3: play true, you know, but I feel like for us,

45
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:08,800
Speaker 3: just get everybody else opportunities to shine. And you know

46
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:10,560
Speaker 3: when I feel like we know our mission. You know,

47
00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:12,400
Speaker 3: we're trying to win the super Bowl, you know, so

48
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:15,000
Speaker 3: not being selfish. Can't be selfish, you know. You gotta

49
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:17,600
Speaker 3: be a team player, gotta you know, have a joy

50
00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:19,239
Speaker 3: for your brother out that making plays.

51
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:19,440
Speaker 4: You know.

52
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:21,280
Speaker 3: So I feel like just as a unit, man, that's

53
00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:23,880
Speaker 3: what we're doing, you know, building that chemistry, building that bond, Man,

54
00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:27,360
Speaker 3: build that bond is unbreakable, you know. So I feel

55
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:28,880
Speaker 3: that's what we are right now. That's where why are

56
00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:31,320
Speaker 3: we here OTAs, you know, getting that chemistry, getting those

57
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:33,640
Speaker 3: repet that extra timing bonding.

58
00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:33,880
Speaker 5: You know.

59
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:37,320
Speaker 3: So come on Sundays, man, we just shining, not even

60
00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:38,040
Speaker 3: thinking about nothing.

61
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:40,679
Speaker 1: Let's turn our attention to Joe Mixon. You might have

62
00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:43,280
Speaker 1: heard some of this, but man, this is good stuff

63
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:46,280
Speaker 1: from the former Bengal who is a three year captain

64
00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:47,639
Speaker 1: with the Cincinnati Bengals.

65
00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:50,600
Speaker 2: Now he's here ready to run in the backfield.

66
00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:53,480
Speaker 1: And he talked about the Texans offense and what it

67
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:55,000
Speaker 1: can accomplish.

68
00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:58,480
Speaker 6: I definitely think with how we got this offense. Roland,

69
00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:01,480
Speaker 6: I think that, uh, no matter what, I feel like

70
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:04,560
Speaker 6: everybody in this offense will eat. Your turn is gonna come.

71
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:06,520
Speaker 6: And that's just you know, part of being in the

72
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:10,440
Speaker 6: offense that we're running. I definitely feel like with the

73
00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:12,880
Speaker 6: weapons that we have, man, it's a it's a it's

74
00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:16,000
Speaker 6: a hell of a thing, bro, because you know, usually

75
00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:19,400
Speaker 6: I guess you got the you got the young guys

76
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:22,400
Speaker 6: that's not pay yet, and you got the guys that's

77
00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:24,880
Speaker 6: fortunate enough to be able to make that type of

78
00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:28,760
Speaker 6: pay come in and be with CJ. And by CJ

79
00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:32,480
Speaker 6: being you know, one of the best quarterbacks in the league, Bro,

80
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:34,840
Speaker 6: it's a it's a hell of a thing. I don't

81
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:37,840
Speaker 6: know if he even knows it yet, but you know,

82
00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:40,280
Speaker 6: he has all the right tools, he have all the

83
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:41,160
Speaker 6: right traits for.

84
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:43,720
Speaker 7: Him to be actually the best in the league.

85
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:46,240
Speaker 6: And I think that the way that he prepares and

86
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:48,240
Speaker 6: the way that he leads and the way that he works,

87
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:52,040
Speaker 6: I truly feel like, you know, it's definitely something special

88
00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:54,120
Speaker 6: when to making But in terms of everybody touching the

89
00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:56,840
Speaker 6: ball and doing certain things, we stay on the field,

90
00:03:57,160 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 6: everybody eats, everybody touched the ball, everybody put up with

91
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:02,600
Speaker 6: what they want to put up. We know defense for

92
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:05,640
Speaker 6: sure going to give us the ball back. So I

93
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:08,160
Speaker 6: think that as long as we execute doing all the

94
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:11,080
Speaker 6: right things well man and building that chemistry right now

95
00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:14,240
Speaker 6: to you know, come back in July, I think that

96
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:16,640
Speaker 6: is going to go a long way. And I feel like,

97
00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:19,120
Speaker 6: you know, like I say, in this offense, Man, Scot

98
00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:19,880
Speaker 6: is the limit.

99
00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:23,599
Speaker 1: Joe Mix and everybody's going to eat. That includes the

100
00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:26,880
Speaker 1: tight ends who are coached by Jake Morland, who played

101
00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:31,400
Speaker 1: with the Texans in the inaugural off season for Houston.

102
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:33,920
Speaker 1: He actually played in that Hall of Fame game, the

103
00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:36,520
Speaker 1: only other one of the Texans have participated in until

104
00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:40,440
Speaker 1: this year two against the New York Giants. Anyway, Jake

105
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:43,279
Speaker 1: Moreland coaches tight ends and Johnny Harris and I caught

106
00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:45,719
Speaker 1: up with him right off the practice field to talk

107
00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:48,400
Speaker 1: about that tight end group and how they're looking overall.

108
00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:50,240
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's been great, great room.

109
00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:53,720
Speaker 8: Everybody's very unselfish and the best part about what this

110
00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:56,080
Speaker 8: group is about is they showed up ready to work

111
00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:58,520
Speaker 8: from day one. There were guys that were in here

112
00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:00,920
Speaker 8: before coaches actually got a chance to work with them,

113
00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:03,360
Speaker 8: they were already putting the work in in the weight room,

114
00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:05,960
Speaker 8: trying to get their bodies ready for OTA's and it's

115
00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:06,560
Speaker 8: starting to show.

116
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:09,400
Speaker 4: Coach, I've always thought about this, and I want to

117
00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:11,839
Speaker 4: ask and get it from your perspective, because outside looking in,

118
00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:14,320
Speaker 4: you would think continuity is a great thing for a

119
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:17,920
Speaker 4: coaching staff, because you know, if you got worked off

120
00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:19,480
Speaker 4: his line, you're working with Chris and Cole. You did

121
00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:21,799
Speaker 4: that last year, You got work with the receivers. Ben's

122
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:24,000
Speaker 4: out there with the receivers. You have that down work

123
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:26,920
Speaker 4: at the quarterbacks. Obviously we know everybody's remained there. How

124
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:30,000
Speaker 4: much has the continuity helped as you start the second

125
00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:30,640
Speaker 4: season here?

126
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:34,480
Speaker 8: Honestly, it's unbelievable just having continuity with the coaches as

127
00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:36,919
Speaker 8: you were referring to, and getting to know each other's

128
00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:39,600
Speaker 8: mannerisms and how guys coach and all those kind of things,

129
00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:41,320
Speaker 8: and we can kind of play off each other and

130
00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:43,360
Speaker 8: feed off each other. But I think it's really important

131
00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:45,599
Speaker 8: with the players. You know, we're not starting from ground

132
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:47,960
Speaker 8: zero like we had to yet last year. You know,

133
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:50,720
Speaker 8: we're not teaching guys what does this play mean? What

134
00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:53,039
Speaker 8: does this play mean? Everybody knows what the plays are

135
00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:56,080
Speaker 8: now now it's actually about honing into the skills and

136
00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:58,440
Speaker 8: the techniques that are really going to make it come alive.

137
00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:01,320
Speaker 1: On Sundays, tight Ends coach Jake Moreland with US, can

138
00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:04,160
Speaker 1: you describe the game of Brevin Jordan made some big

139
00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:06,280
Speaker 1: plays last year, especially late.

140
00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:08,760
Speaker 2: What kind of tight end is he?

141
00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:11,120
Speaker 1: Because he can block, but he can look like a

142
00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:13,040
Speaker 1: receiver at times.

143
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:15,400
Speaker 8: No question, And I think when guys first look at Brev,

144
00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:17,760
Speaker 8: I think they see his speed in his athleticism, so

145
00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:20,240
Speaker 8: they automatically think, oh, he's just a receiving tight end.

146
00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:22,360
Speaker 8: But when you actually watch him put his hand in

147
00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:24,640
Speaker 8: the dirt, he is feisty on the line of scrimmage

148
00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:27,599
Speaker 8: and he's able to use all of that power and

149
00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:30,200
Speaker 8: everything that he's been developing in the weight room to

150
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:32,200
Speaker 8: his advantage when he gets on the line of scrimmage

151
00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:34,920
Speaker 8: and he's ready to block. He had some unbelievable blocks

152
00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:37,680
Speaker 8: for us last year down the stretch in the run game.

153
00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:39,919
Speaker 8: But really, I think it probably gets overlooked in the

154
00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:44,320
Speaker 8: past game, his past protection helped CJ create that one

155
00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:46,160
Speaker 8: more second so he could push the ball down the

156
00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:48,039
Speaker 8: field a little bit. So there's a lot of things

157
00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:51,240
Speaker 8: that we talk about in our room that probably get

158
00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:53,880
Speaker 8: overlooked and that's okay. We're not about all that stuff.

159
00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:56,480
Speaker 8: But what we are about is being able to provide

160
00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:59,560
Speaker 8: the offense with whatever we need at that moment, and

161
00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:01,560
Speaker 8: I think Evan gives us a chance to do that

162
00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:02,839
Speaker 8: in all aspects.

163
00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:03,840
Speaker 2: Coach getting Dalton Schultz back.

164
00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:05,800
Speaker 4: He agrees to the three year deal to come back

165
00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:07,799
Speaker 4: after one year, and I remember when we signed him

166
00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:11,000
Speaker 4: in twenty three, we thought, Okay, it's an opportunity for

167
00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:12,760
Speaker 4: him to show himself to thirty one of their teams.

168
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:14,800
Speaker 4: But also he's in this building. He gets a chance

169
00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:16,320
Speaker 4: to work with you, he gets a chance to work

170
00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:18,960
Speaker 4: with CJ. And he seemed to really kind of fall

171
00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:21,760
Speaker 4: in love with that whole thing. Coming back, what do

172
00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:23,360
Speaker 4: you see in Dalton's game and a guy that's been

173
00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:25,200
Speaker 4: around that long, what's kind of key?

174
00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:27,120
Speaker 2: And you as a coach to okay, you need to

175
00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:27,640
Speaker 2: work on this.

176
00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:29,960
Speaker 4: You know you've seen a lot, you've seen a lot

177
00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:31,960
Speaker 4: of different things, but how do you kind of coach

178
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:33,640
Speaker 4: a guy that's been around for a while and seen

179
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:34,080
Speaker 4: some things?

180
00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:37,520
Speaker 8: As you would say, Yeah, I think especially in Dalton's

181
00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:40,679
Speaker 8: case because he's a veteran, because he's so smart. He

182
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:44,640
Speaker 8: knows the offense. He has great synergy with CJ. But

183
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:46,400
Speaker 8: a couple of things that he brings to the table

184
00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:49,680
Speaker 8: is leadership. Because he's been in the league for a

185
00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:51,880
Speaker 8: number of years, he can put his arm around Cade

186
00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:55,360
Speaker 8: or Brevin and say, hey, think about doing it this way.

187
00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:57,240
Speaker 8: This is something that worked for me in the past,

188
00:07:57,320 --> 00:08:00,280
Speaker 8: let's say. And then for just as a co coach,

189
00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:03,600
Speaker 8: being able to go with him and have a conversation, ye, hey, Dalton,

190
00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:05,600
Speaker 8: here's what I see, here's how I think you can

191
00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:07,920
Speaker 8: get better. And then we have a conversation about what

192
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:09,760
Speaker 8: he's thinking, what I'm thinking, so that we're both on

193
00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:11,520
Speaker 8: the same page, and then we go out and try

194
00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:12,080
Speaker 8: and execute it.

195
00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:15,040
Speaker 1: Kate Stover coach, He's played in a lot of big games,

196
00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:17,040
Speaker 1: he has familiarity with CJ.

197
00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:17,640
Speaker 2: Stroud.

198
00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:19,280
Speaker 1: So what are you see in so far? What are

199
00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:21,160
Speaker 1: you looking for as we get toward camp and that

200
00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:21,680
Speaker 1: sort of thing.

201
00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:24,200
Speaker 8: Yeah, really, right now, it's really just about learning the playbook,

202
00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:27,080
Speaker 8: you know, and our playbook is obviously can be very extensive.

203
00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:30,720
Speaker 8: So getting him aligned first so that he knows exactly

204
00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:33,240
Speaker 8: where his alignment is supposed to be, what that looks like,

205
00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:35,360
Speaker 8: and then how does he fit in either the run

206
00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:37,880
Speaker 8: scheme or the pass scheme or the pass protection scheme

207
00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:41,200
Speaker 8: will allow him to start becoming the athlete that we

208
00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:43,040
Speaker 8: know that he is. He's going to be a great

209
00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:46,000
Speaker 8: blocker for us. We know that. Really working hard on

210
00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:49,200
Speaker 8: his receiving game right now. I'm not sure how many

211
00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:51,240
Speaker 8: routes he was really asked to do at Ohio State,

212
00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:53,960
Speaker 8: but he has made a lot of competitive catches. Even

213
00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:56,920
Speaker 8: early in OTAs, He's made some really competitive catches against

214
00:08:56,920 --> 00:08:59,080
Speaker 8: the defense. So I know that it's in there. We

215
00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:00,599
Speaker 8: know that it's in there. It's just a matter of

216
00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:02,719
Speaker 8: getting his technique right so that he can really showcase it.

217
00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:06,160
Speaker 4: Cause sometimes not really sure who's always in your actual

218
00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:07,880
Speaker 4: room because I think of a guy like Andrew Beck,

219
00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:09,920
Speaker 4: and I'm like, wait, he kind of plays full back,

220
00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:12,240
Speaker 4: he kind of plays age, he kind of moves around.

221
00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:13,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, Brevin do that.

222
00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:16,160
Speaker 4: When Andrew last year against Tennessee, Brev kind of did

223
00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:18,240
Speaker 4: a little bit of that. So you've kind of got

224
00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:20,000
Speaker 4: a I don't say a Missmox, but you got a

225
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:22,880
Speaker 4: lot of different bodies and skill sets in that room

226
00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:24,800
Speaker 4: to make it fun of coach, to make it tough.

227
00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:25,800
Speaker 2: I mean, what's kind.

228
00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:28,360
Speaker 4: Of the fun and the thing you've got to work

229
00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:30,440
Speaker 4: on the most when you have kind of multiple diverse

230
00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:31,800
Speaker 4: bodies in there right.

231
00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:35,120
Speaker 8: Being able to be multiple is something that our room

232
00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:37,840
Speaker 8: takes a lot of pride in. Everybody gets cross trained

233
00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:40,360
Speaker 8: in all the positions because you never know when we're

234
00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:41,920
Speaker 8: going to be asked to line up as wide out,

235
00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:43,120
Speaker 8: when you're going to be asked to line up in

236
00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:44,880
Speaker 8: the backfield, when you're going to be asked to line

237
00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:46,959
Speaker 8: up in the tight end home position. So even though

238
00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:48,920
Speaker 8: I have the full backs in the room, those guys

239
00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:51,480
Speaker 8: get taught just like the wyse do. The wise get

240
00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:54,000
Speaker 8: taught just like the f the f's doew the fullbacks,

241
00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:56,840
Speaker 8: so that in case something happens, we can plug and

242
00:09:56,880 --> 00:09:59,200
Speaker 8: play and we don't have to skip a beat. Where

243
00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:00,840
Speaker 8: it becomes a little bit of a challenge as a

244
00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:02,840
Speaker 8: coach is to say, Okay, I need to take the

245
00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:05,760
Speaker 8: fullback types over here and work with them on fullback

246
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:09,600
Speaker 8: specific training when the tight end types are working on

247
00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:12,640
Speaker 8: their specific tight end training. So that's where you know,

248
00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:15,800
Speaker 8: the help that I have with JJ, he's been great

249
00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:18,680
Speaker 8: because now we can divvy that up and on one day,

250
00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:20,280
Speaker 8: I can work with the fullbacks and he can work

251
00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:22,000
Speaker 8: with the y's. On the next day, we can trade

252
00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:24,520
Speaker 8: so that these guys are hearing the same message from

253
00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:26,959
Speaker 8: different voices and everybody gets a chance to get better.

254
00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:30,480
Speaker 1: Tight ends coach Jake Morland joining us on Texans Radio. Coach,

255
00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:33,840
Speaker 1: you've coached the game, you've played the game, and after

256
00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:36,520
Speaker 1: Mini camp, we've got that big break between Mini Caamp

257
00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:38,800
Speaker 1: and training camp. Training camp is earlier this year with

258
00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:41,240
Speaker 1: the Hall of Fame game. But what's important about that

259
00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:44,040
Speaker 1: break for the players because you're not going to have

260
00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:46,400
Speaker 1: them under your tutelage during this time. So what do

261
00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:48,360
Speaker 1: they need to keep in mind to be ready for camp?

262
00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:48,680
Speaker 7: Yeah?

263
00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:50,679
Speaker 8: Right, So what we do is we actually will sit

264
00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:53,040
Speaker 8: down with our players and we will actually come up

265
00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:55,560
Speaker 8: with a plan for what that forty days or what

266
00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:58,000
Speaker 8: that little break looks like. Some of the things that

267
00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:00,280
Speaker 8: we really are trying to hone in on that they

268
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:02,280
Speaker 8: can continue to work even though the coaches are not

269
00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:05,600
Speaker 8: there and overseeing it. We've gone through all of the

270
00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:08,240
Speaker 8: technical things that we need to do. An individual, let's say,

271
00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:10,000
Speaker 8: so they can go out and they can run routes

272
00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:12,400
Speaker 8: the way as if I was standing out there and

273
00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:14,240
Speaker 8: trying to critique them on their route running or on

274
00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:16,440
Speaker 8: their pass blocking. There are certain things that they're going

275
00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:18,040
Speaker 8: to be able to do on their own that even

276
00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:19,760
Speaker 8: though the coaches aren't there, they're still going to be

277
00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:22,440
Speaker 8: able to continue to develop their craft. So when we

278
00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:24,760
Speaker 8: come back at camp time, we're ready to roll.

279
00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:26,400
Speaker 2: Could you ever been in the Hall of Fame?

280
00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:29,160
Speaker 8: Yes? Actually in two thousand and two we played in

281
00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:29,720
Speaker 8: the Hall of Fame game.

282
00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:33,280
Speaker 4: Oh yeah with the Houston Texas. So going through the

283
00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:36,040
Speaker 4: Hall of Fame, how many Hall of famers did you

284
00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:37,880
Speaker 4: play with in your career? And when you go to

285
00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:39,760
Speaker 4: the Hall of Fame, you go try and find their bus.

286
00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:42,240
Speaker 4: And I mean, is that something that I've never been

287
00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:43,840
Speaker 4: in the Hall of Fame? You guys have both been there.

288
00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:45,880
Speaker 4: I'm looking forward to going there, So I'm kind of

289
00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:48,520
Speaker 4: curious what that's like, especially for somebody that's played with

290
00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:50,000
Speaker 4: guys that played in the Hall of Fame.

291
00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:52,880
Speaker 8: Yeah, it's going to be interesting. In two thousand and two,

292
00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:54,960
Speaker 8: I don't think I had played with anybody at that

293
00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:58,440
Speaker 8: point who was inducted, but like Curtis Martin, somebody that

294
00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:00,720
Speaker 8: I played with in New York to go kind of

295
00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:03,240
Speaker 8: go through. It's a different vantage point, you know, going

296
00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:05,679
Speaker 8: through a Hall of Fame as a player is a

297
00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:08,480
Speaker 8: little bit different now going through as a coach. I'm

298
00:12:08,559 --> 00:12:10,640
Speaker 8: very excited about going in there and just being able

299
00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:13,520
Speaker 8: to see all of the history and really just take

300
00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:16,200
Speaker 8: advantage of it, absorbing it exactly right. And I think

301
00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:18,160
Speaker 8: it'll be great for our players. You know, for all

302
00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:21,360
Speaker 8: these guys the absolute pinnacle of what they're trying to

303
00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:23,760
Speaker 8: accomplish as players, and to be able to see what

304
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:25,839
Speaker 8: that looks like and feel what that is like, I

305
00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:27,439
Speaker 8: think is going to be great for us as a whole.

306
00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:30,240
Speaker 1: I've got one more as a high achiever in life,

307
00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:32,800
Speaker 1: where do you get inspiration from? How do you keep

308
00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:35,240
Speaker 1: the fire burning? Besides you know you've got to be

309
00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:37,520
Speaker 1: here and coach these guys, and you hear from the

310
00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:39,400
Speaker 1: head coach to me go and everything else.

311
00:12:39,679 --> 00:12:41,320
Speaker 2: But where do you get it from? Coach? What can

312
00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:42,040
Speaker 2: you share with us?

313
00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:42,560
Speaker 7: Well?

314
00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:45,559
Speaker 8: To be honest with you, when I first started, when

315
00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:48,200
Speaker 8: I got done playing, I was done with football. I

316
00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:50,760
Speaker 8: didn't want anything to do with football. And then one

317
00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:53,200
Speaker 8: of my best friends happened to be an officeive coordinator

318
00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:55,160
Speaker 8: and he asked me to come and coach, and it's been,

319
00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:58,280
Speaker 8: you know, a pretty good ride ever since two thousand

320
00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:00,360
Speaker 8: and three when I first started coaching. But I think

321
00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:03,679
Speaker 8: the fire really comes from still trying to be a

322
00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:06,840
Speaker 8: good model of consistency for our players. Right when you're

323
00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:08,800
Speaker 8: in the college game. It's a little bit more about

324
00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:11,960
Speaker 8: continuing to develop those young men eighteen to twenty two,

325
00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:15,439
Speaker 8: about being becoming men. Even though we're dealing with guys

326
00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:17,320
Speaker 8: that are a little bit older, they're still looking to

327
00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:19,560
Speaker 8: be coached, and I think they still are looking for

328
00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:21,920
Speaker 8: role model types for guys that are doing it the

329
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:24,719
Speaker 8: right way day in and day out. Regardless of how

330
00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:27,079
Speaker 8: you feel, regardless of what's going on outside this building,

331
00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:29,080
Speaker 8: we all have to show up and we all continue

332
00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:31,160
Speaker 8: to pull in the same direction. And I think that's

333
00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:33,560
Speaker 8: the fun part about being a coach is you still

334
00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:35,640
Speaker 8: get to model some of those things and have an

335
00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:37,079
Speaker 8: impact on young men's lives.

336
00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:38,880
Speaker 2: Great stuff, Thanks a lot for joining us coach.

337
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:39,559
Speaker 7: Thanks guys.

362
00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:52,880
Speaker 1: the list goes on. I mentioned this original Texans lineup

00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:57,080
Speaker 1: in the offseason featured tight ends coach Jake Morland, who's

364

Speaker 1: with the Texans right now is the tight ends coaches

365
00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:01,520
Speaker 1: in that phenomenal heard from him last segment. If you

366
00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:04,640
Speaker 1: missed that, this show itself will be up in podcast

367
00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:07,520
Speaker 1: forms soon enough. But Mike the Mighty Quinn went to

368
00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:10,800
Speaker 1: Steven F. F Auston. He was a guest with nd Kalou.

369
00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:13,360
Speaker 1: This never made air, but let's put it on right

370
00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:16,920
Speaker 1: now because Mike talks about CJ. Stroud and quarterbacking in general,

371
00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:20,240
Speaker 1: and a bunch of other good stuff. Here Mike the

372
00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:22,640
Speaker 1: Mighty Quinn with nd Kalou.

373
00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:25,360
Speaker 5: Sitting across from me. Good buddy of mine. Just a

374
00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:28,240
Speaker 5: good person. Obviously a great football player, that's how he

375
00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:30,720
Speaker 5: made it to the NFL, but a better man if

376
00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:33,200
Speaker 5: you ask me. Mike Quinn a former quarterback for the

377
00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:36,320
Speaker 5: Houston Texans, former quarterback in the NFL, joining us for

378
00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:38,360
Speaker 5: the OG podcast. What's going on, Big Mike?

379
00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:41,520
Speaker 7: Not a lot appreciate you having me, indeed, And.

380
00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:43,960
Speaker 5: Look, I don't say that about everybody, just for the listeners.

381
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:46,760
Speaker 5: Mike's one of those guys if you ask him for

382
00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:49,000
Speaker 5: a favor, and it's hard for me to ask people

383
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:52,160
Speaker 5: for favors. If he can do it, he's gonna do it.

384
00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:53,680
Speaker 5: If he can't do it, he's gonna try to figure

385
00:15:53,720 --> 00:15:56,480
Speaker 5: out a way to do it. And my experience with Mike,

386
00:15:56,680 --> 00:15:59,520
Speaker 5: I do a free camp every single year, and it's

387
00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:03,880
Speaker 5: so tough to get former professional quarterbacks guys that know

388
00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:06,480
Speaker 5: that position to come help out with the camp. Every

389
00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:08,600
Speaker 5: year I've asked him to do it, he's been there.

390
00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:11,400
Speaker 5: One year, he almost had a conflict and he figured

391
00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:13,680
Speaker 5: out a way to get there. So Mike, just you know,

392
00:16:13,680 --> 00:16:15,560
Speaker 5: from the bottom of my heart, I've always appreciate how

393
00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:19,600
Speaker 5: accessible you've been, and to me, that's the best part

394
00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:22,320
Speaker 5: of our camp, you know, because it's tough to it's

395
00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:24,320
Speaker 5: easy to teach you defensive end, it's easy to teach

396
00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:27,400
Speaker 5: running backs, but it's tough to teach somebody the skills

397
00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:29,280
Speaker 5: at the quarterback position. And to have a guy like

398
00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:32,360
Speaker 5: yourself do it and every year show up, I just

399
00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:33,320
Speaker 5: really appreciate that.

400
00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:35,680
Speaker 7: Now my pleasure, Indy, and you know that camp is

401
00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:38,840
Speaker 7: so great. You have so many guys out there helping out,

402
00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:42,000
Speaker 7: and you know, the kids are very lucky to have it,

403
00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:43,120
Speaker 7: So kudos to.

404
00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:44,680
Speaker 5: You, all right, appreciate that.

405
00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:44,880
Speaker 9: Well.

406
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:47,280
Speaker 5: Speaking of quarterbacks the Texans, they have a pretty good

407
00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:50,640
Speaker 5: one in c. J. Stroud as a guy that knows

408
00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:52,600
Speaker 5: the position. Can you kind of just talk about what

409
00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:54,040
Speaker 5: you're seeing from the young rook.

410
00:16:54,160 --> 00:17:00,520
Speaker 7: Yeah, So, so going back, we so my family's from Columbus, Ohio,

411
00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:04,560
Speaker 7: so I grew up a Buckeyes fan, and so we

412
00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:07,160
Speaker 7: kind of have been following him at Ohio State and

413
00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:09,639
Speaker 7: we actually went to uh took my son and my

414
00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:13,359
Speaker 7: wife there last year for the game against Michigan. Uh

415
00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:17,320
Speaker 7: So that was pretty cool. So he's been a, i

416
00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:19,560
Speaker 7: guess our favorite college quarterback for a while. And then

417
00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:21,320
Speaker 7: when he came here, my son was like, oh, this

418
00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:26,520
Speaker 7: is awesome. He's obviously got so much arm talent and

419
00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:30,560
Speaker 7: just a uh a good processor of the you know,

420
00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:33,399
Speaker 7: the information that he's getting from the defense and making

421
00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:36,760
Speaker 7: good decisions that he's going to be a very successful

422
00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:39,399
Speaker 7: quarterback and you know, hopefully break a lot of records

423
00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:40,320
Speaker 7: here with the Texans.

424
00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:43,639
Speaker 5: It's it's obviously the toughest position in all sports in

425
00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:46,720
Speaker 5: my opinion. And you watched him in college when you

426
00:17:46,760 --> 00:17:49,439
Speaker 5: were watching him at Ohio State, did you think, like,

427
00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:51,840
Speaker 5: this guy is going to translate to a good NFL

428
00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:55,199
Speaker 5: quarterback or were you a little skeptical of coming to

429
00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:55,879
Speaker 5: that conclusion.

430
00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:57,880
Speaker 7: No, I thought he was going to be a great

431
00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:00,959
Speaker 7: NFL quarterback. He was making big boy throat was you know,

432
00:18:01,040 --> 00:18:05,800
Speaker 7: at the college level, anticipating, anticipating the throws and not

433
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:09,000
Speaker 7: just you know, hitting guys that were wide open. You know,

434
00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:12,119
Speaker 7: he was he was putting, putting the ball in tight windows.

435
00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:15,760
Speaker 7: So that translates to the NFL. And Uh, you know

436
00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:19,080
Speaker 7: what you're seeing with him on Sundays is what he

437
00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:19,800
Speaker 7: was doing there.

438
00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:23,199
Speaker 5: Maybe I'm too hard on the coaches and remind everybody

439
00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:26,960
Speaker 5: speaking with Mike Quinn, Uh played at s FA, Stephen F.

440
00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:31,040
Speaker 5: Austin played in the NFL. Uh played with Troy Aikman,

441
00:18:31,119 --> 00:18:32,680
Speaker 5: played with some of the greats out there as well,

442
00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:35,440
Speaker 5: so knows a lot about the position. But maybe I'm

443
00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:38,439
Speaker 5: too tough on the coaches, Mike, because I'll watch I

444
00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:41,920
Speaker 5: watch a lot of college football and I'll see quarterbacks

445
00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:44,080
Speaker 5: and I'm like, man, that dude is good, and then

446
00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:45,800
Speaker 5: when they get to the NFL, they don't have the

447
00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:48,400
Speaker 5: success I expect them to have. And we always put

448
00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:51,280
Speaker 5: it on the player. But I maybe came to this

449
00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:53,720
Speaker 5: conclusion like three or four years ago. I'm like, you

450
00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:56,560
Speaker 5: know what, maybe the people around these guys aren't really

451
00:18:56,920 --> 00:18:59,399
Speaker 5: teaching them the NFL game the way they should be.

452
00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:01,280
Speaker 5: I mean, do you have that thought as a guy

453
00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:04,000
Speaker 5: that played the position that watches and you still train

454
00:19:04,119 --> 00:19:05,080
Speaker 5: quarterbacks at his day.

455
00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:09,880
Speaker 7: Yeah, I think it's not just one thing. You know. Sometimes,

456
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:13,639
Speaker 7: you know, these good college quarterbacks they get drafted and

457
00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:16,640
Speaker 7: they go to teams that aren't very good, to organizations

458
00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:21,520
Speaker 7: that are dysfunctional, and it's hard to as a quarterback

459
00:19:21,560 --> 00:19:27,160
Speaker 7: to really, you know, overcome that and bring everything up

460
00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:30,119
Speaker 7: around you. You know, I always think about Peyton Manning.

461
00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:32,280
Speaker 7: You know, his first year with the Colts, I think

462
00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:34,600
Speaker 7: there were three and thirteen. The next year they were

463
00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:37,480
Speaker 7: thirteen and three. You know, fact check me. But I

464
00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:39,480
Speaker 7: think that's what they did. I mean, he turned that

465
00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:43,639
Speaker 7: organization around, and it was just his work ethic and

466
00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:47,119
Speaker 7: how he went about it and obviously very talented as well.

467
00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:51,560
Speaker 7: But I think getting all the pieces around the quarterback,

468
00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:54,720
Speaker 7: not only the players but the coaches is extremely important

469
00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:56,440
Speaker 7: to get the most out of them.

470
00:19:56,840 --> 00:19:59,359
Speaker 5: Talk about your journey high school ball before you went

471
00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:02,080
Speaker 5: to even of Austin. You know, what was your high

472
00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:04,760
Speaker 5: school career that was here in Houston, right or I'll

473
00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:06,040
Speaker 5: high I thought it was Houston.

474
00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:07,520
Speaker 7: Yeah it was. It was here in Houston. So I

475
00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:11,320
Speaker 7: grew up in Las Vegas, Nevada. Moved to Houston for

476
00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:16,280
Speaker 7: my last year of high school. We moved in April

477
00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:19,240
Speaker 7: of my junior year and went to Lee High School

478
00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:23,000
Speaker 7: here in Houston, which is now called Wisdom And.

479
00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:24,960
Speaker 5: Well, let me tell you there, because that's tough to

480
00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:26,080
Speaker 5: be a star athlete.

481
00:20:26,480 --> 00:20:26,920
Speaker 2: I was here.

482
00:20:27,560 --> 00:20:30,600
Speaker 7: There was no star athlete. Yeah, no, it was I was.

483
00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:32,480
Speaker 7: I was a backup in Las Vegas.

484
00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:35,840
Speaker 5: You're a late bloomer. Yah, you don't get to college football,

485
00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:38,080
Speaker 5: you know, if you're just decent in high school.

486
00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:40,480
Speaker 7: Yeah, late bloomer, definitely. I think I was five to

487
00:20:40,600 --> 00:20:44,080
Speaker 7: five hundred and forty pounds in ninth grade, really yeah,

488
00:20:44,119 --> 00:20:47,760
Speaker 7: and could always throw the ball, but hadn't really figured

489
00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:49,919
Speaker 7: out what I was going to do football wise. And

490
00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:53,240
Speaker 7: I didn't start playing quarterback until tenth grade. And I

491
00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:56,240
Speaker 7: was a starter on JV out in Las Vegas and

492
00:20:56,280 --> 00:21:00,880
Speaker 7: then we moved to Houston. Was the backup my junior

493
00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:03,320
Speaker 7: year and then you know, I kind of saw the

494
00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:04,960
Speaker 7: writing on the wall. There was another guy that was

495
00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:07,200
Speaker 7: a much better athlete than me. He ended up playing

496
00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:11,199
Speaker 7: baseball at Stanford, was a starter in Vegas, and so

497
00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:13,000
Speaker 7: I saw the writing on the walls, like, Hey, I'm

498
00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:16,280
Speaker 7: not going to play here. And when the my family

499
00:21:16,359 --> 00:21:18,560
Speaker 7: was like, hey, we're gonna move to Houston, I was like, okay,

500
00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:21,520
Speaker 7: let's go. And so it worked out well that the

501
00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:25,360
Speaker 7: school that we were zoned for didn't have a quarterback returning,

502
00:21:25,480 --> 00:21:28,199
Speaker 7: so I was able to go in there and you know,

503
00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:31,800
Speaker 7: get that job and we did. We did well that season,

504
00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:34,040
Speaker 7: but wasn't recruited at all. I think I had a

505
00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:37,480
Speaker 7: few offers to walk on, and since Stephen F. Austin

506
00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:39,840
Speaker 7: was the team that or the school that showed the

507
00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:42,080
Speaker 7: most interest in me and said hey, we really want

508
00:21:42,119 --> 00:21:43,760
Speaker 7: you to walk on, and you know, we don't have

509
00:21:43,800 --> 00:21:46,480
Speaker 7: a scholarship, but you know, hopefully if you know things

510
00:21:46,520 --> 00:21:49,000
Speaker 7: go well, you can earn one. And so I walked

511
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:51,120
Speaker 7: on there after the career at Lee. The one year

512
00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:51,879
Speaker 7: career at Lee.

513
00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:56,399
Speaker 1: Continuing with nd Kalu's Texans OG's podcast with Mike Quinn,

514
00:21:56,400 --> 00:22:00,159
Speaker 1: original Texans quarterback third stringer behind David Carr until the

515
00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:01,200
Speaker 1: Banks back in the day.

516
00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:03,440
Speaker 5: I did not That's very interesting. As long as I've

517
00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:05,399
Speaker 5: known you, I did not know that. I thought you

518
00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:08,840
Speaker 5: spent your entire high school career here in Age Town

519
00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:11,000
Speaker 5: because I knew you. I knew you went to a

520
00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:15,280
Speaker 5: school in Houston. We talked about it before then, Steven F. Austin.

521
00:22:15,359 --> 00:22:18,960
Speaker 5: So you walked on there. When when did you realize, hey,

522
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:20,480
Speaker 5: I could play, you know, I could play at a

523
00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:22,560
Speaker 5: high level. When did it? When did you really get

524
00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:23,560
Speaker 5: comfortable in knowing that?

525
00:22:23,640 --> 00:22:26,000
Speaker 7: Yeah? So it was so I got red shirted my

526
00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:32,040
Speaker 7: freshman year and then was put on scholarship the beginning

527
00:22:32,080 --> 00:22:34,440
Speaker 7: of my I guess red shirt sophomore year. So going

528
00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:37,800
Speaker 7: into my second year, head coach John Pierce put me

529
00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:38,520
Speaker 7: on scholarship.

530
00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:39,840
Speaker 5: So they definitely saw something.

531
00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:43,679
Speaker 7: Yeah, I think so, I think so, And you know

532
00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:47,640
Speaker 7: it was it was not until and I didn't start

533
00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:50,480
Speaker 7: until my senior year. There we had another quarterback that

534
00:22:50,560 --> 00:22:52,320
Speaker 7: was really good, that was ahead of me, one year

535
00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:55,360
Speaker 7: ahead of me. His name was James Ritchie. I know James.

536
00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:56,720
Speaker 2: Hey did he go to Washington?

537
00:22:57,960 --> 00:22:58,040
Speaker 3: No?

538
00:22:58,359 --> 00:23:02,400
Speaker 7: He He spent two years with the Oilers ninety six

539
00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:06,560
Speaker 7: and ninety seven. He was a backup quarterback of the Oilers,

540
00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:09,000
Speaker 7: so he was ahead of me, so I didn't you know,

541
00:23:09,080 --> 00:23:11,760
Speaker 7: I had a couple opportunities to start a couple of

542
00:23:11,800 --> 00:23:15,720
Speaker 7: games my sophomore year when he got banged up, but

543
00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:17,920
Speaker 7: I wasn't the full time starter until my senior year.

544
00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:22,960
Speaker 7: But it was I think my sophomore, yeah, red shirt

545
00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:26,639
Speaker 7: sophomore year, when coach peers, you know, during practice, just

546
00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:29,399
Speaker 7: one day, randomly, after a play, he just told me,

547
00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:31,439
Speaker 7: He's like, hey, you're going to play in the NFL someday.

548
00:23:32,119 --> 00:23:37,080
Speaker 7: And I'm sitting here thinking, are you sure? Because you know,

549
00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:39,920
Speaker 7: you know, I'd always had that as a dream of mine.

550
00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:44,480
Speaker 7: But for you know, someone that's you know, that's been around,

551
00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:49,680
Speaker 7: you know, highly successful college programs and everything, he's seen

552
00:23:50,119 --> 00:23:53,320
Speaker 7: NFL quarterbacks to tell me that, and that just gave

553
00:23:53,359 --> 00:23:55,199
Speaker 7: me a lot of confidence. And that's when I, you know,

554
00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:57,240
Speaker 7: really started to have it in the back of my

555
00:23:57,320 --> 00:23:59,560
Speaker 7: mind to you know, hey, that's what I want to do.

556
00:23:59,760 --> 00:24:00,520
Speaker 2: That awesome.

557
00:24:00,560 --> 00:24:03,080
Speaker 5: So how did you learn about being put on scholarship,

558
00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:05,160
Speaker 5: because that's a big deal.

559
00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:09,359
Speaker 7: Yeah, it was. It wasn't one of those you know

560
00:24:09,920 --> 00:24:12,280
Speaker 7: things that you see that are filmed nowadays where they

561
00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:14,920
Speaker 7: announced it to the whole team and everybody goes crazy.

562
00:24:15,280 --> 00:24:19,560
Speaker 7: It was just a conversation between him and I think

563
00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:22,480
Speaker 7: it was after practice in the quarterback meeting room and

564
00:24:22,600 --> 00:24:24,320
Speaker 7: you know he told me, and yeah, I was. I

565
00:24:24,359 --> 00:24:28,000
Speaker 7: was pretty excited because just I think maybe three or

566
00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:31,520
Speaker 7: four months before that, after the spring semester, he told me, hey,

567
00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:34,040
Speaker 7: you know, I can't put you on scholarship, you know,

568
00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:36,520
Speaker 7: this year, but you know, you know, we'll see how

569
00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:40,000
Speaker 7: everything goes. And a scholarship opened up, and yeah, he

570
00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:41,320
Speaker 7: gave it to me, So I was fired up.

571
00:24:41,359 --> 00:24:42,480
Speaker 5: What was that call like home?

572
00:24:43,119 --> 00:24:46,080
Speaker 7: It was pretty good. Yeah, it was pretty good. Yeah,

573
00:24:46,359 --> 00:24:50,520
Speaker 7: I think you know, everybody, everybody was really excited and

574
00:24:51,440 --> 00:24:53,359
Speaker 7: proud of, you know, because I was, you know, putting

575
00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:55,080
Speaker 7: in the work to to try to get there and

576
00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:58,480
Speaker 7: to have be able to realize what had been a

577
00:24:58,560 --> 00:25:03,280
Speaker 7: dream of you know, a scholarship athlete at at a university.

578
00:25:03,359 --> 00:25:05,439
Speaker 7: It came true. So it was pretty cool. Any tears,

579
00:25:06,359 --> 00:25:08,400
Speaker 7: you know, I don't remember. I think it was more

580
00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:11,600
Speaker 7: just excitement. Yeah, yeah, just more excitement.

581
00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:13,560
Speaker 5: Because you've been working so hard, so I'm sure a

582
00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:17,639
Speaker 5: part of you was like, okay, yeah, I've learned this,

583
00:25:17,720 --> 00:25:19,719
Speaker 5: It's not like it was just handed to me. I

584
00:25:19,760 --> 00:25:23,080
Speaker 5: love that story. That's we need more of those stories,

585
00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:26,239
Speaker 5: just talking about resilience than just you know, guys in

586
00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:30,159
Speaker 5: the eighth grade being offered for rides and because to me,

587
00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:32,480
Speaker 5: that's what's going to last you a lifetime. And you're

588
00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:36,080
Speaker 5: seeing that off the field. I just saw because we're LinkedIn, brothers.

589
00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:37,720
Speaker 5: I don't know what you call it on LinkedIn, but

590
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:41,160
Speaker 5: I saw you're celebrating fourteen years at the same company,

591
00:25:41,320 --> 00:25:45,080
Speaker 5: same real estate companies. So congratulations. And did you take

592
00:25:45,119 --> 00:25:48,080
Speaker 5: any of the things that you learned in sports to

593
00:25:48,119 --> 00:25:49,680
Speaker 5: what you're doing now in the real estate world.

594
00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:53,400
Speaker 7: Yeah, I think so. You know, someone told me that

595
00:25:53,480 --> 00:25:57,560
Speaker 7: real estate, you know, is like athletics. You're rewarded by

596
00:25:57,640 --> 00:26:02,399
Speaker 7: the work that you put into it, and so I

597
00:26:02,440 --> 00:26:06,879
Speaker 7: think that it translates into what I do on a

598
00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:09,560
Speaker 7: daily basis is just being able to know that, hey,

599
00:26:10,160 --> 00:26:11,600
Speaker 7: there's not gonna be any food on the table and

600
00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:13,480
Speaker 7: us I go in here and work. So that's the

601
00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:15,199
Speaker 7: same thing for an athlete. If you don't go in

602
00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:16,560
Speaker 7: there and put in the work in the weight room,

603
00:26:16,560 --> 00:26:18,600
Speaker 7: in the film room, on the practice field, you know,

604
00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:20,720
Speaker 7: you're not going to see the results. So I think

605
00:26:20,720 --> 00:26:23,920
Speaker 7: it does translate, and I think it's, you know, one

606
00:26:23,920 --> 00:26:27,639
Speaker 7: of the reasons I've stuck with it. So, yeah, I'm

607
00:26:27,720 --> 00:26:29,600
Speaker 7: lucky to be at at the company that I'm at.

608
00:26:29,920 --> 00:26:32,200
Speaker 5: H You know what, I disagree. I think they're lucky

609
00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:34,320
Speaker 5: to have you, just to be the person that you

610
00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:37,480
Speaker 5: are talking about life after football. Obviously a bunch of

611
00:26:37,520 --> 00:26:41,919
Speaker 5: former NFL players, we talk about the struggles, not a

612
00:26:41,920 --> 00:26:44,920
Speaker 5: woe was me, but just transitioning. You know, we've been

613
00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:47,640
Speaker 5: doing this from some guys eight years old, ten years

614
00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:51,400
Speaker 5: old up until we're grown man, grown men. What were

615
00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:53,720
Speaker 5: some of the things you had to adjust with to

616
00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:56,560
Speaker 5: or struggle with when you finally told yourself, okay, I'm

617
00:26:56,600 --> 00:26:57,119
Speaker 5: done playing.

618
00:26:57,480 --> 00:27:01,239
Speaker 7: Yeah, so it was you know, my career was up

619
00:27:01,280 --> 00:27:03,399
Speaker 7: and down for you know, the eight years that I

620
00:27:03,440 --> 00:27:04,919
Speaker 7: was in the NFL. You know, I was on the

621
00:27:04,920 --> 00:27:08,159
Speaker 7: bubble each year, so I was, you know, never truly

622
00:27:08,160 --> 00:27:11,639
Speaker 7: felt comfortable that hey this is you know, I never

623
00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:15,800
Speaker 7: knew how long I'd be playing, you know, so when

624
00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:19,120
Speaker 7: I finally realized that, hey, you know, it's probably done,

625
00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:22,840
Speaker 7: you know, I I struggled with it a little bit,

626
00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:26,119
Speaker 7: you know, as as most guys do, because I felt

627
00:27:26,119 --> 00:27:29,520
Speaker 7: like I could still play, and you know, when other

628
00:27:29,560 --> 00:27:33,359
Speaker 7: people don't have the same opinion, you know that that hurts.

629
00:27:33,400 --> 00:27:36,000
Speaker 7: And you know, it took me a while to become

630
00:27:36,040 --> 00:27:39,320
Speaker 7: a fan of the game again. But I do remember

631
00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:42,720
Speaker 7: when it when it kind of changed and I said, okay,

632
00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:44,600
Speaker 7: I'm done, and you know, I started to become a

633
00:27:44,600 --> 00:27:46,480
Speaker 7: fan of the game again. It was it was probably

634
00:27:46,760 --> 00:27:50,280
Speaker 7: two or three years after I officially kind of, you know,

635
00:27:50,480 --> 00:27:53,760
Speaker 7: realize that, hey, retirement is here for this chapter.

636
00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:56,040
Speaker 5: You know, that's a pretty good turn around. I know,

637
00:27:56,160 --> 00:27:58,879
Speaker 5: guys that it took him ten years. Like I have

638
00:27:58,920 --> 00:28:01,040
Speaker 5: a neighbor, I won't put his name out there. And

639
00:28:01,119 --> 00:28:04,520
Speaker 5: he had a pretty successful career, at least I thought.

640
00:28:04,560 --> 00:28:06,560
Speaker 5: But he told me for ten years he couldn't even

641
00:28:06,600 --> 00:28:09,880
Speaker 5: watch football like he was bitter. He was upset. I'm like, man,

642
00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:12,080
Speaker 5: you went to three Pro Bowls, you played ten years,

643
00:28:12,119 --> 00:28:14,359
Speaker 5: Like what do you mean You're better? But it's just tough,

644
00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:17,280
Speaker 5: like even for me. You know, you and I are

645
00:28:17,320 --> 00:28:19,440
Speaker 5: both in real estate, and I thought I had everything

646
00:28:19,520 --> 00:28:22,119
Speaker 5: set up, and you know, sometimes I was kind of cocky.

647
00:28:22,359 --> 00:28:23,840
Speaker 5: I was like, you know what I'm doing things the

648
00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:25,800
Speaker 5: right way. When I'm done, I'm just going to roll

649
00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:27,719
Speaker 5: right into it. But when I was done, I was like,

650
00:28:27,760 --> 00:28:30,520
Speaker 5: hold on, wait, where's my schedule for the day, Like

651
00:28:31,160 --> 00:28:33,040
Speaker 5: where's the coach telling me where I need to be?

652
00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:36,480
Speaker 5: And just not even that what was tough the locker room,

653
00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:38,479
Speaker 5: Like you spend eight years, I don't care if it's

654
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:41,120
Speaker 5: you know, whether you're on the bubble or not. Just

655
00:28:41,120 --> 00:28:43,920
Speaker 5: something about being in that locker room, being in the system,

656
00:28:43,960 --> 00:28:47,440
Speaker 5: working out, like it was just hard to quote unquote

657
00:28:47,480 --> 00:28:48,400
Speaker 5: live that regular life.

658
00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:51,440
Speaker 7: Yeah. Absolutely, And when you're a player, you're part of something,

659
00:28:51,520 --> 00:28:54,840
Speaker 7: right that's bigger than yourself, and you know you're all

660
00:28:55,680 --> 00:28:59,400
Speaker 7: working together towards the same goal and part of that organization.

661
00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:02,880
Speaker 7: And obviously the NFL is a premier sports league in

662
00:29:02,960 --> 00:29:05,400
Speaker 7: the in the world, and to be a part of

663
00:29:05,440 --> 00:29:08,800
Speaker 7: that it's pretty cool. So when that's not in your

664
00:29:08,840 --> 00:29:12,960
Speaker 7: life anymore, yeah, it's it's kind of a rude awakening.

665
00:29:13,160 --> 00:29:15,120
Speaker 7: And yeah, it took me. It took me a few

666
00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:18,959
Speaker 7: years to kind of okay, settle into not being a

667
00:29:19,680 --> 00:29:21,120
Speaker 7: professional athlete any longer.

668
00:29:21,280 --> 00:29:24,880
Speaker 1: There's Mike Quinn on Andy Kalou's Texans OG's podcast. You

677
00:29:49,720 --> 00:29:53,560

678
00:29:53,680 --> 00:29:57,480
Speaker 1: who has a podcast called Sports with Strong. So we

679
00:29:57,600 --> 00:30:00,760

Speaker 1: is Gazelle Strong helping us out today from Sports with Strong.

682
00:30:09,040 --> 00:30:10,840
Speaker 1: I knew I'd get the name right if I wrote

683
00:30:10,880 --> 00:30:11,240
Speaker 1: it down.

684
00:30:11,360 --> 00:30:13,080
Speaker 2: Easy to flip it around, right.

685
00:30:13,160 --> 00:30:14,800
Speaker 4: You know, there's so many different ways you can put

686
00:30:14,840 --> 00:30:17,920
Speaker 4: sports and Strong together. So Strong on Sports I don't

687
00:30:17,920 --> 00:30:20,000
Speaker 4: want to. I don't want to confuse Mark because then

688
00:30:20,040 --> 00:30:20,880
Speaker 4: I'll confuse.

689
00:30:20,640 --> 00:30:24,000
Speaker 2: My Mark is like I have to write this down.

690
00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:28,360
Speaker 2: Did you think about Strong on Sports? I did, but

691
00:30:28,440 --> 00:30:32,920
Speaker 2: then it's like, on, well, it's on the topic. Anyway.

692
00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:35,400
Speaker 1: We can have the show meeting about your podcast later.

693
00:30:35,440 --> 00:30:36,560
Speaker 1: What do you have for us this.

694
00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:39,360
Speaker 9: Week though Nico Collins just signed that three year deal.

695
00:30:40,080 --> 00:30:41,760
Speaker 9: How do we feel about that, Fellas.

696
00:30:41,520 --> 00:30:44,680
Speaker 1: We feel very good about it, Gazelle, because Nico was

697
00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:46,720
Speaker 1: going into the last year of his contract, and we've

698
00:30:46,720 --> 00:30:49,320
Speaker 1: talked about this numerous times. If you don't sign Nico

699
00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:52,120
Speaker 1: Collins now, then you go into the off season with

700
00:30:52,160 --> 00:30:55,120
Speaker 1: the chance of he might not be here anymore. Correct,

701
00:30:55,120 --> 00:30:57,560
Speaker 1: you might have to franchise him. And people talk about

702
00:30:57,560 --> 00:30:59,680
Speaker 1: the money. Some people are raving about this deal. Some

703
00:30:59,720 --> 00:31:02,200
Speaker 1: people say, hey, is that too expensive. No, it's not

704
00:31:02,360 --> 00:31:05,280
Speaker 1: because if you franchise him going into next year, he

705
00:31:05,320 --> 00:31:07,680
Speaker 1: gets a top five average salary. This is not a

706
00:31:07,720 --> 00:31:10,320
Speaker 1: top five average salary going into twenty twenty five. So

707
00:31:10,600 --> 00:31:12,320
Speaker 1: I think it's good for him because he gets the

708
00:31:12,360 --> 00:31:13,960
Speaker 1: security of knowing he's going to be here.

709
00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:15,080
Speaker 2: And it's good for the.

710
00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:17,760
Speaker 1: Texans because they get him at this is not bargain

711
00:31:17,840 --> 00:31:21,320
Speaker 1: basement stuff, but they get him at a reasonable price, right, Johnny.

712
00:31:21,040 --> 00:31:22,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, they get him for three years, and if you

713
00:31:23,040 --> 00:31:25,360
Speaker 4: do the map on the three years, you realize those

714
00:31:25,360 --> 00:31:30,720
Speaker 4: three years are gonna happen coincide with CJ's second, No, Third, fourth,

715
00:31:30,760 --> 00:31:33,800
Speaker 4: and fifth because his original rookie deal that will end

716
00:31:33,800 --> 00:31:35,200
Speaker 4: this year, so it's to be the last year of that,

717
00:31:35,600 --> 00:31:37,600
Speaker 4: so the deal kicks into twenty five, So twenty five,

718
00:31:37,640 --> 00:31:40,680
Speaker 4: twenty six to twenty seven, that's still on CJ's rookie deal.

719
00:31:40,880 --> 00:31:43,000
Speaker 4: Even though CJ will more than like Levy, stays in

720
00:31:43,040 --> 00:31:45,640
Speaker 4: this trajectory. He will end up getting that big contract,

721
00:31:45,680 --> 00:31:48,400
Speaker 4: but that won't kick in until the end of Nico's deal,

722
00:31:48,520 --> 00:31:52,400
Speaker 4: so you're still paying and getting Nico at a really,

723
00:31:52,400 --> 00:31:53,880
Speaker 4: I think, a really reasonable price.

724
00:31:54,040 --> 00:31:55,240
Speaker 2: There will be some guys that sign.

725
00:31:55,320 --> 00:31:58,080
Speaker 4: You would think soon Brandon and you, the forty nine ers,

726
00:31:58,120 --> 00:32:00,760
Speaker 4: I would think t Higgins potential get some money, and

727
00:32:00,760 --> 00:32:03,000
Speaker 4: there will probably be some others. So Niko right now

728
00:32:03,080 --> 00:32:08,040
Speaker 4: is seventh a monks receivers at ap y, but in reality,

729
00:32:08,120 --> 00:32:10,400
Speaker 4: nobody in the NFL really talks about average per year.

730
00:32:10,720 --> 00:32:12,719
Speaker 4: But there will be others that end up passing him

731
00:32:12,760 --> 00:32:15,640
Speaker 4: at that point, so I'm excited for it. I think

732
00:32:15,640 --> 00:32:17,320
Speaker 4: he's a sweetheart of a guy. I think he is

733
00:32:17,360 --> 00:32:20,160
Speaker 4: the right fit for this team going forward. I think

734
00:32:20,200 --> 00:32:24,000
Speaker 4: he's the right fit for CJ's right fit in all respects,

735
00:32:24,360 --> 00:32:26,560
Speaker 4: and he works his guts out. He's not that diva

736
00:32:26,640 --> 00:32:29,520
Speaker 4: wide receiver. He's always got a smile, He's very happy

737
00:32:29,520 --> 00:32:32,560
Speaker 4: to meet new people and see people, and just loves

738
00:32:32,800 --> 00:32:34,200
Speaker 4: seemingly being here in Houston.

739
00:32:34,240 --> 00:32:36,560
Speaker 2: I love seeing him here. We saw Dr Rosenhouse here yesterday.

740
00:32:36,680 --> 00:32:39,280
Speaker 4: We're like, man, maybe we didn't think about that, like

741
00:32:39,400 --> 00:32:42,080
Speaker 4: he's just visiting, you know what happens. And then by

742
00:32:42,080 --> 00:32:44,480
Speaker 4: that afternoon, Nope, got a deal And I'm glad they

743
00:32:44,520 --> 00:32:44,920
Speaker 4: got it done.

744
00:32:44,960 --> 00:32:46,480
Speaker 2: And I love the three year part of it. I

745
00:32:46,600 --> 00:32:47,600
Speaker 2: love the three year part of it.

746
00:32:47,600 --> 00:32:51,600
Speaker 4: I think that length of deal smart is seemingly what

747
00:32:52,240 --> 00:32:55,040
Speaker 4: Nick and the Texans have been giving to players years,

748
00:32:55,160 --> 00:32:57,480
Speaker 4: three year deals about where it goes, kind of thinking

749
00:32:57,640 --> 00:32:58,360
Speaker 4: that in those.

750
00:32:58,160 --> 00:33:01,320
Speaker 1: Windows there are long term deals for this era. So

751
00:33:01,480 --> 00:33:05,560
Speaker 1: far megalong comparatively to what he assigned. So I love

752
00:33:05,600 --> 00:33:08,040
Speaker 1: the fact that he's here. And it ensurance because we

753
00:33:08,080 --> 00:33:09,120
Speaker 1: talked about Giselle.

754
00:33:09,320 --> 00:33:15,000
Speaker 4: The fact that when you have Nico and Diggs potentially

755
00:33:15,040 --> 00:33:18,240
Speaker 4: at the end of twenty four having neither one of

756
00:33:18,280 --> 00:33:20,040
Speaker 4: them because Dig's on one year deal, Nico on the

757
00:33:20,080 --> 00:33:22,640
Speaker 4: last year of his rookie deal. The potential that you

758
00:33:22,640 --> 00:33:25,080
Speaker 4: could have neither one of them after the end of

759
00:33:25,080 --> 00:33:27,560
Speaker 4: this year, I think made it that much more important

760
00:33:27,560 --> 00:33:29,920
Speaker 4: that you get at least one of them, if not both,

761
00:33:29,960 --> 00:33:31,400
Speaker 4: but you get one of them locked up now and

762
00:33:31,440 --> 00:33:34,280
Speaker 4: get that security with Nico is only twenty five agreed.

763
00:33:34,480 --> 00:33:38,000
Speaker 9: Yeah, he's guaranteed fifty two million, which is pH phenomenal

764
00:33:38,040 --> 00:33:39,920
Speaker 9: and he deserves it. Like you said, he works hard,

765
00:33:39,960 --> 00:33:41,840
Speaker 9: he has a great sense of character and happy that

766
00:33:41,880 --> 00:33:44,040
Speaker 9: he's going to stay here in the h Another thing

767
00:33:44,080 --> 00:33:44,920
Speaker 9: to add with.

768
00:33:44,840 --> 00:33:48,480
Speaker 2: That is how will all of.

769
00:33:48,400 --> 00:33:51,840
Speaker 9: These different playmakers be and how will they have good

770
00:33:51,920 --> 00:33:55,600
Speaker 9: chemistry for this upcoming season. You have Collins, you have Dell,

771
00:33:55,720 --> 00:33:58,680
Speaker 9: and you have Digs. Those are my big three. How

772
00:33:58,720 --> 00:34:01,120
Speaker 9: do you think the target passing is going to be

773
00:34:01,240 --> 00:34:02,240
Speaker 9: with all of them?

774
00:34:03,200 --> 00:34:06,560
Speaker 1: The targets, it's a great question, like how many targets

775
00:34:06,600 --> 00:34:09,040
Speaker 1: will everybody get. It's funny because at that season ticket

776
00:34:09,080 --> 00:34:12,479
Speaker 1: members event, that question was thrown up to Demiko because

777
00:34:12,520 --> 00:34:14,279
Speaker 1: they were asking him who's gonna have the most, who's

778
00:34:14,280 --> 00:34:15,080
Speaker 1: gonna have more or whatever.

779
00:34:15,120 --> 00:34:16,880
Speaker 2: He said, we're gonna throw the ball everywhere.

780
00:34:17,400 --> 00:34:20,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, somebody asked him who's gonna have the most downfield throws?

781
00:34:20,360 --> 00:34:24,880
Speaker 1: The most deep passes targeted to them? And he said everybody,

782
00:34:24,920 --> 00:34:27,360
Speaker 1: We're gonna throw it everywhere, all over the place. And

783
00:34:27,440 --> 00:34:30,399
Speaker 1: I think he's joking there in a way, but he's

784
00:34:30,440 --> 00:34:32,760
Speaker 1: also right in that they're gonna spread the ball around.

785
00:34:32,800 --> 00:34:35,200
Speaker 1: And some games it'll be Dell who goes off, and

786
00:34:35,239 --> 00:34:37,600
Speaker 1: some games will be digs, and some games it'll be Nico.

787
00:34:38,160 --> 00:34:40,600
Speaker 1: And are they gonna take away targets from each other?

788
00:34:40,680 --> 00:34:43,319
Speaker 1: Well and some get yeah, sure, maybe they probably will

789
00:34:43,360 --> 00:34:45,200
Speaker 1: because somebody will get hot, they'll get doubled.

790
00:34:45,239 --> 00:34:45,560
Speaker 2: Whatever.

791
00:34:45,760 --> 00:34:48,359
Speaker 1: However, the defense is adjust and the other guys kind

792
00:34:48,360 --> 00:34:50,399
Speaker 1: of shine. But I just pointed out, you know, Noah

793
00:34:50,440 --> 00:34:53,400
Speaker 1: Brown fourth in the league in yards per catch. We

794
00:34:53,440 --> 00:34:55,799
Speaker 1: don't even talk about him. He's still on his football team.

795
00:34:55,880 --> 00:34:59,359
Speaker 1: Right There's another don't forget about me guy, Johnny, that's

796
00:34:59,360 --> 00:35:01,239
Speaker 1: another category we have during training camp.

797
00:35:01,280 --> 00:35:02,319
Speaker 2: Don't forget about me guy.

798
00:35:02,600 --> 00:35:04,480
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give you a don't forget about me guy

799
00:35:04,760 --> 00:35:07,080
Speaker 1: right now that is gonna.

800
00:35:06,800 --> 00:35:09,200
Speaker 2: Make plays this year. Robert Woods.

801
00:35:09,400 --> 00:35:11,560
Speaker 1: Robert Woods is still on this football team. He's gonna

802
00:35:11,560 --> 00:35:13,960
Speaker 1: make some third down baby. He's not gonna get the

803
00:35:13,960 --> 00:35:17,279
Speaker 1: targets of Nico, Tank Diggs. I get it, but he's

804
00:35:17,360 --> 00:35:20,200
Speaker 1: going to be heard from and it'll be really fun

805
00:35:20,239 --> 00:35:21,720
Speaker 1: to watch them spread the ball around.

806
00:35:21,719 --> 00:35:23,359
Speaker 4: I mean, it's almost like he's become a third down

807
00:35:23,360 --> 00:35:26,319
Speaker 4: specialist with Robert and that fine with that. I man

808
00:35:26,320 --> 00:35:28,440
Speaker 4: remember the first game against the Ravens. I think it

809
00:35:28,520 --> 00:35:31,120
Speaker 4: was three straight and finally when the offense started clicking

810
00:35:31,120 --> 00:35:32,600
Speaker 4: a little bit in that game, it didn't do a lot,

811
00:35:32,680 --> 00:35:34,600
Speaker 4: but a little bit in the second quarter was like

812
00:35:34,680 --> 00:35:37,880
Speaker 4: Woods third down, first down catch, third down with the

813
00:35:37,880 --> 00:35:39,239
Speaker 4: Woods again front of the first time. It was like

814
00:35:39,280 --> 00:35:41,359
Speaker 4: three in a row. So it's like he has kind

815
00:35:41,360 --> 00:35:45,120
Speaker 4: of this specialized almost like Jerry Hughes. When Jerry Hughes's

816
00:35:45,120 --> 00:35:46,680
Speaker 4: pass rusher, JERRYU come on the field when it was

817
00:35:46,719 --> 00:35:47,439
Speaker 4: past rush time.

818
00:35:47,920 --> 00:35:49,640
Speaker 2: He ended up giving a lot more snaps later.

819
00:35:50,080 --> 00:35:52,799
Speaker 4: I think I think Mark started getting hitting on it

820
00:35:52,840 --> 00:35:54,719
Speaker 4: at the ends out. I think it's gonna be game

821
00:35:54,760 --> 00:35:58,680
Speaker 4: specific because I think they're gonna be some teams that, like,

822
00:35:58,719 --> 00:36:02,040
Speaker 4: for example, the Colts in Week two, the Colts in

823
00:36:02,080 --> 00:36:05,479
Speaker 4: Week two just absolutely, without question, we're not gonna allow

824
00:36:05,640 --> 00:36:08,160
Speaker 4: Tank to beat them deep. They just were not gonna

825
00:36:08,160 --> 00:36:10,560
Speaker 4: give up the deep shot. There were teams that just said,

826
00:36:10,680 --> 00:36:13,520
Speaker 4: you're not getting the deep shot to Tank, You're.

827
00:36:13,320 --> 00:36:15,800
Speaker 2: Not throwing it over our heads. So they play a

828
00:36:15,800 --> 00:36:16,400
Speaker 2: little deeper.

829
00:36:16,680 --> 00:36:19,080
Speaker 4: They play a little bit more structured coverage such that

830
00:36:19,200 --> 00:36:22,279
Speaker 4: they take those deep shots away. Well, that's gonna open

831
00:36:22,360 --> 00:36:24,520
Speaker 4: up things underneath. That might be a Nico game. That

832
00:36:24,560 --> 00:36:26,520
Speaker 4: might end up being a Stefan game. There might be

833
00:36:26,560 --> 00:36:28,200
Speaker 4: some teams though that say, you know what, we think

834
00:36:28,239 --> 00:36:31,840
Speaker 4: we've got the DBS to challenge, so we're gonna challenge

835
00:36:31,840 --> 00:36:34,560
Speaker 4: a man to man. Well, that might be a DIGS gameyah,

836
00:36:34,600 --> 00:36:37,600
Speaker 4: because he's got so much experience again running roundes. It

837
00:36:37,680 --> 00:36:40,360
Speaker 4: might be a tank game because he's got such speed

838
00:36:40,400 --> 00:36:42,200
Speaker 4: to get downfield and beat guys that want to play

839
00:36:42,239 --> 00:36:44,319
Speaker 4: one on one. So I think it's gonna end up

840
00:36:44,320 --> 00:36:48,440
Speaker 4: being sort of game specific as you go through go

841
00:36:48,520 --> 00:36:51,120
Speaker 4: through the season. I don't think it's gonna get to

842
00:36:51,160 --> 00:36:54,680
Speaker 4: a point where, Okay, hopefully it doesn't where one guy's

843
00:36:54,760 --> 00:36:57,799
Speaker 4: hurt other guys, you know, nagging injuries and it's just

844
00:36:57,960 --> 00:36:59,520
Speaker 4: one guy. I don't think it's gonna get to that.

845
00:36:59,680 --> 00:37:02,720
Speaker 4: I think that their two that receiver is really really

846
00:37:02,760 --> 00:37:05,359
Speaker 4: good such that when we get to the fifty three

847
00:37:05,360 --> 00:37:07,000
Speaker 4: man roster, there are gonna be some wide receivers that

848
00:37:07,040 --> 00:37:10,360
Speaker 4: end up going to other teams that become part of

849
00:37:10,400 --> 00:37:13,200
Speaker 4: those other teams and are factors on those other teams

850
00:37:13,280 --> 00:37:16,759
Speaker 4: just because there's so few spots be on those three

851
00:37:16,880 --> 00:37:18,120
Speaker 4: to be able to make this roster.

852
00:37:18,680 --> 00:37:20,919
Speaker 2: Yeah, very good. So it's gonna be tough. It's gonna

853
00:37:20,960 --> 00:37:21,279
Speaker 2: be tough.

854
00:37:22,239 --> 00:37:25,120
Speaker 4: But I mean, I don't even know that you can

855
00:37:25,280 --> 00:37:27,879
Speaker 4: even like rank one, two, three, because I really think

856
00:37:27,920 --> 00:37:30,200
Speaker 4: you go into it and go, I think it could

857
00:37:30,200 --> 00:37:31,400
Speaker 4: be this guy this week. I think it could be

858
00:37:31,480 --> 00:37:35,440
Speaker 4: this guy next week. Now does at some point does

859
00:37:35,480 --> 00:37:36,799
Speaker 4: it lean one way or the other?

860
00:37:36,920 --> 00:37:37,440
Speaker 2: Maybe?

861
00:37:38,040 --> 00:37:41,120
Speaker 4: Maybe, But even last year when everybody was relatively healthy,

862
00:37:41,160 --> 00:37:44,279
Speaker 4: c CJ spread it out to as many guys as

863
00:37:44,280 --> 00:37:45,120
Speaker 4: he possibly could.

864
00:37:45,200 --> 00:37:47,719
Speaker 2: If anything, if anything.

865
00:37:47,360 --> 00:37:50,319
Speaker 4: I felt like there was a time last year where

866
00:37:50,360 --> 00:37:54,279
Speaker 4: CJ might look at Tank a little bit more just

867
00:37:54,320 --> 00:37:56,320
Speaker 4: because he would want a little he'd want a deeper

868
00:37:56,360 --> 00:37:59,480
Speaker 4: shot watch, he wants to big chunk play, and he

869
00:37:59,520 --> 00:38:02,239
Speaker 4: would then kind of focus on Tank maybe a little

870
00:38:02,239 --> 00:38:06,120
Speaker 4: bit more at that point. But unfortunately Tank got hurt

871
00:38:06,160 --> 00:38:08,480
Speaker 4: around that time, and then you know, CJ had to

872
00:38:08,520 --> 00:38:10,879
Speaker 4: kind of continue to spread the wealth as he had

873
00:38:10,880 --> 00:38:12,960
Speaker 4: done all season. So now you throw Tank back in

874
00:38:13,000 --> 00:38:14,920
Speaker 4: the mix, Now you throw digs in the mix, and

875
00:38:14,920 --> 00:38:17,480
Speaker 4: you're like, Wow, okay, Oh, throwing Joe Mixon from the

876
00:38:17,520 --> 00:38:20,840
Speaker 4: running back position, throwing Dalton Schultz from tight end, Previn

877
00:38:20,920 --> 00:38:24,479
Speaker 4: Joryett tight end, They're gonna be There's only one ball,

878
00:38:24,600 --> 00:38:26,799
Speaker 4: so try to figure out where that goes on every

879
00:38:26,840 --> 00:38:29,200
Speaker 4: single play, and you hope you run the ball better.

880
00:38:29,920 --> 00:38:32,759
Speaker 4: So it might be a situation where everybody's targets have

881
00:38:32,800 --> 00:38:35,879
Speaker 4: got to come down so that the entire offense takes

882
00:38:35,880 --> 00:38:36,719
Speaker 4: a step or two up.

883
00:38:36,880 --> 00:38:38,480
Speaker 2: If that makes sense, and no, it does.

884
00:38:38,520 --> 00:38:40,680
Speaker 9: You just gotta you gotta stay ready so you don't

885
00:38:40,680 --> 00:38:43,000
Speaker 9: gotta get ready. And I think that's what this Texans

886
00:38:43,040 --> 00:38:44,759
Speaker 9: team has to offer this season.

887
00:38:44,719 --> 00:38:47,160
Speaker 1: Stay ready so you don't have to get ready, right,

888
00:38:47,400 --> 00:38:49,960
Speaker 1: all right, I'm gonna write that under that for them all,

889
00:38:50,760 --> 00:38:53,040
Speaker 1: writing that down along with wait, what was the thing

890
00:38:53,080 --> 00:38:55,240
Speaker 1: we talked about before we went on the air here.

891
00:38:55,440 --> 00:38:58,320
Speaker 9: Oh, I was teaching Mark, Yeah, knock if you buck,

892
00:38:58,560 --> 00:39:00,560
Speaker 9: Knock if you buck, And I thought you were tricking

893
00:39:00,560 --> 00:39:02,879
Speaker 9: me into some sort of horrible saying that it's gonna

894
00:39:02,880 --> 00:39:04,800
Speaker 9: get me in trouble with the FCC or something.

895
00:39:04,800 --> 00:39:07,520
Speaker 1: I don't know, but knock if your buck is a thing.

896
00:39:07,680 --> 00:39:09,240
Speaker 1: And then Johnny pulls up the song.

897
00:39:09,400 --> 00:39:12,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, I knew about it. John knew about it. He

898
00:39:12,560 --> 00:39:13,279
Speaker 2: knew all about it.

899
00:39:13,320 --> 00:39:15,520
Speaker 1: Johnny's about it and knock if your buck was what

900
00:39:15,640 --> 00:39:18,680
Speaker 1: get ready if you have to get into an altercation? Correct,

901
00:39:18,840 --> 00:39:22,640
Speaker 1: because you brought in your Stanley cup, which is the

902
00:39:22,719 --> 00:39:25,239
Speaker 1: size of a small garbage can.

903
00:39:25,400 --> 00:39:26,400
Speaker 7: It's forty ounces.

904
00:39:26,520 --> 00:39:29,560
Speaker 1: It's forty ounces of liquid and I ever need this

905
00:39:29,680 --> 00:39:30,440
Speaker 1: much liquid?

906
00:39:30,520 --> 00:39:33,319
Speaker 4: And then you made the most pression statement ever. You're like, yeah,

907
00:39:33,320 --> 00:39:34,680
Speaker 4: you can use it as a weapon too, because it's

908
00:39:34,680 --> 00:39:36,520
Speaker 4: got a handle. And I'm like, oh, as with the

909
00:39:36,600 --> 00:39:40,919
Speaker 4: daughter that's twenty one, I know, like you got you?

910
00:39:41,080 --> 00:39:43,719
Speaker 2: Yes, keeps them safe you need?

911
00:39:43,960 --> 00:39:46,000
Speaker 1: Are you so when you get gas or your car

912
00:39:46,080 --> 00:39:49,480
Speaker 1: or something, are you very careful? Like head on a swivel? Okay,

913
00:39:49,560 --> 00:39:50,920
Speaker 1: I gotta be away.

914
00:39:51,040 --> 00:39:52,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm very observant.

915
00:39:53,160 --> 00:39:55,719
Speaker 9: My friends make fun of me sometimes because when we

916
00:39:55,760 --> 00:39:58,480
Speaker 9: go places, I will circle to perimeter so I know

917
00:39:58,480 --> 00:40:00,640
Speaker 9: where my exits are and I can and see what

918
00:40:00,719 --> 00:40:01,560
Speaker 9: kind of people.

919
00:40:01,320 --> 00:40:04,439
Speaker 2: Are around me. That's what my grandpa says.

920
00:40:04,680 --> 00:40:07,160
Speaker 9: He's like, always be aware of your surroundings.

921
00:40:07,480 --> 00:40:08,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know.

922
00:40:08,320 --> 00:40:10,560
Speaker 9: He's like, I just have to tell you.

923
00:40:10,560 --> 00:40:13,960
Speaker 4: You're like Ethan Hunt or never never let the Stanley

924
00:40:14,080 --> 00:40:17,160
Speaker 4: leave your sight. Always have a hang over the top

925
00:40:17,160 --> 00:40:20,799
Speaker 4: of your drink. Always canvas the perimeter wherever you are.

926
00:40:21,280 --> 00:40:24,439
Speaker 2: I'm writing, somebody's down, I might have your Stanley cup

927
00:40:24,480 --> 00:40:25,080
Speaker 2: ready so you can.

928
00:40:25,440 --> 00:40:28,920
Speaker 4: My daughter and I have had discussions about that. She's

929
00:40:28,960 --> 00:40:32,279
Speaker 4: out in LA she's in Hollywood, and we're like, hand

930
00:40:32,280 --> 00:40:34,719
Speaker 4: over your drink. Whenever you go to the bathroom, you

931
00:40:34,800 --> 00:40:38,080
Speaker 4: go with a friend, which I never understood for longest time,

932
00:40:38,200 --> 00:40:39,880
Speaker 4: Like my wife used to always take a friend with

933
00:40:39,920 --> 00:40:41,480
Speaker 4: her as the bathroom even though I was there.

934
00:40:41,920 --> 00:40:44,520
Speaker 2: But I understand it now. They were talking about you.

935
00:40:44,680 --> 00:40:46,840
Speaker 2: That's what that was. They were discussing you.

936
00:40:47,080 --> 00:40:49,200
Speaker 9: You want to take a photo, you want to compliment

937
00:40:49,239 --> 00:40:52,839
Speaker 9: each other in confidence, touch your makeup, and you.

938
00:40:52,800 --> 00:40:56,200
Speaker 1: Know, just for safety reasons. Yeah, point right.

939
00:40:56,360 --> 00:41:00,440
Speaker 2: Safety reasons. Yeah, safety reasons. That's first and foremost together,

940
00:41:00,760 --> 00:41:02,960
Speaker 2: not makeup changing stuff things.

941
00:41:03,040 --> 00:41:05,560
Speaker 1: Since we're on the subject of other stuff and being

942
00:41:05,560 --> 00:41:07,600
Speaker 1: out and about in Houston, we were talking about getting gas.

943
00:41:07,640 --> 00:41:11,120
Speaker 1: What about what Stefan Diggs tweeted that was.

944
00:41:11,520 --> 00:41:13,680
Speaker 9: Very relatable and honest and true.

945
00:41:14,239 --> 00:41:17,799
Speaker 2: Was it if you miss your exit, you're seventeen minutes. Yeah,

946
00:41:17,840 --> 00:41:18,360
Speaker 2: you add.

947
00:41:18,200 --> 00:41:22,080
Speaker 9: Another seventeen minutes to your gps ETA.

948
00:41:22,320 --> 00:41:23,160
Speaker 2: It could be more.

949
00:41:23,600 --> 00:41:25,919
Speaker 9: It could be more depending on the time of day.

950
00:41:26,080 --> 00:41:26,960
Speaker 2: So now I have a question.

951
00:41:28,760 --> 00:41:32,880
Speaker 4: So, knowing this, if somebody then darts in front of

952
00:41:32,920 --> 00:41:34,920
Speaker 4: you and cuts you off so they can get to

953
00:41:34,960 --> 00:41:37,040
Speaker 4: the exit, are you mad at them?

954
00:41:37,400 --> 00:41:40,360
Speaker 2: Yeah? I sometimes am. It depends on what mood I'm in, man.

955
00:41:40,239 --> 00:41:42,080
Speaker 9: Right, It depends on the mood and if they use

956
00:41:42,120 --> 00:41:44,759
Speaker 9: their blinker. If they don't use their blinker, I immediately

957
00:41:44,800 --> 00:41:45,360
Speaker 9: am annoyed.

958
00:41:45,360 --> 00:41:47,319
Speaker 7: But if you use your blinker, I'm like, get it.

959
00:41:48,840 --> 00:41:50,640
Speaker 4: If you just tell me, I get it, Like if

960
00:41:50,640 --> 00:41:53,120
Speaker 4: you screwed up or you went too far, and then

961
00:41:53,120 --> 00:41:55,600
Speaker 4: you just have to get to that exit because, like

962
00:41:55,760 --> 00:41:58,720
Speaker 4: Diggs found out, if you miss that exit, who's telling

963
00:41:58,760 --> 00:41:59,600
Speaker 4: where you?

964
00:41:59,600 --> 00:41:59,719
Speaker 8: You know?

965
00:41:59,719 --> 00:42:01,720
Speaker 2: Who's to say where you're gonna end up in Houston?

966
00:42:01,760 --> 00:42:02,359
Speaker 2: You never know?

967
00:42:02,760 --> 00:42:05,040
Speaker 4: So I don't know. I probably have to chill a

968
00:42:05,080 --> 00:42:06,520
Speaker 4: little bit more. As long as I use the blinker,

969
00:42:06,520 --> 00:42:07,960
Speaker 4: I'm fine. If they just start in front of me,

970
00:42:08,680 --> 00:42:10,040
Speaker 4: I have some choice words for them.

971
00:42:10,080 --> 00:42:12,400
Speaker 1: What about when you're in a hurry And I've been

972
00:42:12,440 --> 00:42:14,040
Speaker 1: in a hurry a few times, Johnny, I don't know

973
00:42:14,040 --> 00:42:15,880
Speaker 1: if you're aware of this. Oh yes, I'm very aware.

974
00:42:15,920 --> 00:42:19,200
Speaker 1: He's aware of I'm very aware. I use my blinkers

975
00:42:19,280 --> 00:42:21,120
Speaker 1: when I'm in a hurry, and I always if I

976
00:42:21,280 --> 00:42:24,440
Speaker 1: happen to nudge in front of somebody to get to

977
00:42:24,480 --> 00:42:26,759
Speaker 1: an exit or wherever I'm going, I will wait.

978
00:42:26,880 --> 00:42:27,360
Speaker 2: Always.

979
00:42:27,600 --> 00:42:31,480
Speaker 9: Yes, thank you, thank you, You're so great.

980
00:42:31,640 --> 00:42:35,400
Speaker 1: I need therapy. Sorry, I'm driving a table. Wrap it

981
00:42:35,440 --> 00:42:36,840
Speaker 1: amente as they say.

982
00:42:36,760 --> 00:42:38,880
Speaker 2: That's that's gonna be my that's my next business.

983
00:42:38,920 --> 00:42:41,719
Speaker 4: I want to create. I want to create car emojis. Oh,

984
00:42:41,880 --> 00:42:45,279
Speaker 4: caramel car emojis, so like you can just like like

985
00:42:45,360 --> 00:42:47,279
Speaker 4: on the back, you can put like prayer hands like that.

986
00:42:48,120 --> 00:42:52,040
Speaker 4: You know, there's a lot of times somebody.

987
00:42:52,000 --> 00:42:52,560
Speaker 2: Wave at them.

988
00:42:52,760 --> 00:42:55,440
Speaker 1: Some some people might, Oh he's taunting me, Johnny. That's

989
00:42:55,440 --> 00:42:57,960
Speaker 1: brilliant car emojis. And if you get mad, you just

990
00:42:58,120 --> 00:43:00,799
Speaker 1: angry emoji face, your middle thing emoji if you want

991
00:43:00,840 --> 00:43:02,680
Speaker 1: to use that or whatever, you know, we should.

992
00:43:02,719 --> 00:43:05,080
Speaker 9: I would not do that in Houston, just an angry face,

993
00:43:05,160 --> 00:43:06,120
Speaker 9: no finger, no bird.

994
00:43:06,160 --> 00:43:10,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's crazy. You know Diggs brought up Houston driving.

995
00:43:10,880 --> 00:43:13,120
Speaker 1: We could get Digs to partner in on this, Yes,

996
00:43:13,280 --> 00:43:16,439
Speaker 1: carm I'm sure Nick Assio and Damiko Ryans would really

997
00:43:16,440 --> 00:43:18,840
Speaker 1: be in favor. Of us approaching Stefan about a venture

998
00:43:18,920 --> 00:43:19,919
Speaker 1: capital Yes.

999
00:43:20,320 --> 00:43:23,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, but stephanius a big boy. He can handle it.

1000
00:43:23,880 --> 00:43:25,319
Speaker 2: I mean, carmojis, think about it.

1001
00:43:25,360 --> 00:43:27,759
Speaker 4: I mean, you could send messages to cars because a

1002
00:43:27,800 --> 00:43:31,040
Speaker 4: lot of things get misconstrued when you're out driving, like

1003
00:43:31,200 --> 00:43:34,040
Speaker 4: a hank, right, a honk When you hear it.

1004
00:43:33,960 --> 00:43:36,839
Speaker 2: You're like, you get like, what's going to happen? Yeah,

1005
00:43:37,000 --> 00:43:40,640
Speaker 2: and you're but but essentially somebody's just.

1006
00:43:40,560 --> 00:43:44,120
Speaker 4: Telling you somebody's just honking because your gas cap is not.

1007
00:43:44,320 --> 00:43:48,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, so like maybe there's a way that's that's a

1008
00:43:48,719 --> 00:43:52,080
Speaker 1: nudge honk? Can you honk light? My kid gives me grief,

1009
00:43:52,160 --> 00:43:54,399
Speaker 1: Like sometimes at the light when somebody's not going.

1010
00:43:54,400 --> 00:43:57,960
Speaker 2: I don't want to be like leaning on it, you know.

1011
00:43:59,239 --> 00:43:59,399
Speaker 7: Yeah.

1012
00:43:59,520 --> 00:44:02,520
Speaker 2: Still the sound of the car horn, though, is so

1013
00:44:02,960 --> 00:44:05,400
Speaker 2: it's intrusive, abusive and rude.

1014
00:44:05,440 --> 00:44:08,200
Speaker 4: You just immediate like what what did I do? Like

1015
00:44:08,239 --> 00:44:09,320
Speaker 4: that's my first reaction.

1016
00:44:09,480 --> 00:44:12,600
Speaker 1: I realized, Oh yeah, I'm not big on FCC laws,

1017
00:44:12,680 --> 00:44:16,880
Speaker 1: but I'd like to pass one. In radio commercials, you

1018
00:44:16,920 --> 00:44:20,480
Speaker 1: cannot have honking or accidents. When I hear a car

1019
00:44:20,560 --> 00:44:24,960
Speaker 1: accident on the radio in my car, obviously your head turns.

1020
00:44:25,280 --> 00:44:28,600
Speaker 1: They think, yeah, the audio quality is so good now

1021
00:44:28,600 --> 00:44:31,399
Speaker 1: in these FM stations and you know our flagship sports

1022
00:44:31,480 --> 00:44:33,080
Speaker 1: Radio six to ten. You can listen to HD two

1023
00:44:33,080 --> 00:44:36,840
Speaker 1: on one hundred point three. It sounds amazing, Thank you, Jaselle.

1024
00:44:37,560 --> 00:44:40,919
Speaker 1: It sounds amazing. And if you hear a car hank,

1025
00:44:41,040 --> 00:44:43,280
Speaker 1: you think a car's honking yea or a siren.

1026
00:44:43,480 --> 00:44:46,240
Speaker 2: Siren should not be allowed the radio ads.

1027
00:44:46,360 --> 00:44:49,759
Speaker 4: There's a song that comes on my on my ams

1028
00:44:49,800 --> 00:44:52,440
Speaker 4: on music and it's on one of my playlists, and

1029
00:44:52,520 --> 00:44:54,319
Speaker 4: every time it comes on, I swear I should be

1030
00:44:54,320 --> 00:44:56,560
Speaker 4: ready for it. But like the last minute of this song,

1031
00:44:56,640 --> 00:45:00,840
Speaker 4: it has some kind of like noise that is like

1032
00:45:00,920 --> 00:45:03,800
Speaker 4: a siren in every single time I grabbed my steering

1033
00:45:03,840 --> 00:45:05,680
Speaker 4: where look, I started looking around for the siren.

1034
00:45:05,760 --> 00:45:08,279
Speaker 2: I realized, Oh no, it's just that song. Oh it's

1035
00:45:08,320 --> 00:45:11,120
Speaker 2: just that song. It has that it's not like a

1036
00:45:11,320 --> 00:45:14,279
Speaker 2: true siren. But every time that song comes on, I

1037
00:45:14,320 --> 00:45:15,320
Speaker 2: have the same reaction.

1038
00:45:15,480 --> 00:45:17,719
Speaker 1: I go dated rock reference that only three people will

1039
00:45:17,760 --> 00:45:20,600
Speaker 1: get probably. But the Joe Perry Project had a song,

1040
00:45:20,960 --> 00:45:24,080
Speaker 1: their best song, yeah they had won had sirens in

1041
00:45:24,120 --> 00:45:26,600
Speaker 1: it like that, and I would always look around and

1042
00:45:26,719 --> 00:45:29,640
Speaker 1: just I was like, what's the Joe Perry projeject. Actually

1043
00:45:29,640 --> 00:45:32,960
Speaker 1: even classic rock veterans are Yeah. I know, yeah, but

1044
00:45:33,080 --> 00:45:34,359
Speaker 1: you knew knuck if your buck.

1045
00:45:34,480 --> 00:45:38,120
Speaker 2: I didn't know that because lie, I know that.

1046
00:45:38,280 --> 00:45:40,000
Speaker 1: I did know that. Now I'm gonna have to go

1047
00:45:40,080 --> 00:45:42,680
Speaker 1: look up the Joe Perry project. Well, Joe Perry is

1048
00:45:42,680 --> 00:45:44,799
Speaker 1: the guitarist and Aerosmith and the Okay.

1049
00:45:44,560 --> 00:45:47,759
Speaker 2: That's okay. We should have led with that. Yeah, I

1050
00:45:47,800 --> 00:45:51,920
Speaker 2: should have, but I didn't. Aerosmith is so familiar. But

1051
00:45:51,960 --> 00:45:54,239
Speaker 2: then I started thinking, that's the nineteen fifties running back.

1052
00:45:54,280 --> 00:45:57,680
Speaker 2: That didn't seem like it is a nineteen fifties That's

1053
00:45:57,719 --> 00:45:59,399
Speaker 2: where my world is. There we go, Joe.

1054
00:45:59,600 --> 00:46:01,640
Speaker 1: We're still on Instagram Live by the way while we're

1055
00:46:01,640 --> 00:46:05,120
Speaker 1: doing this. Yeah, probably, so I can't keep track of

1056
00:46:05,160 --> 00:46:07,920
Speaker 1: the platforms we're on. There's John Harris and I with
