1
00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:03,600

2
00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:05,840
Speaker 1: you out there. Welcome into Texans All Access.

3
00:00:05,920 --> 00:00:09,840
Speaker 2: Working on a fifth hour of radio today. But it's

4
00:00:09,880 --> 00:00:11,120
Speaker 2: talking about sports.

5
00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:13,640
Speaker 1: So it can't be all that bad. In particular this

6
00:00:13,760 --> 00:00:16,480
Speaker 1: hour we were talking about Texans. I'm your host again,

7
00:00:16,560 --> 00:00:20,439
Speaker 1: John Harris, football analist, sideline reporter, alongside the voice of

8
00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:22,439
Speaker 1: the Texans, Mark Vanier.

9
00:00:22,520 --> 00:00:25,840
Speaker 2: Mark A Happy Memorial Day, b How was your weekend?

10
00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:29,480
Speaker 3: It's great, Johnny. Can I say something Memorial Day ish.

11
00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:30,040
Speaker 4: To start us?

12
00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:32,320
Speaker 1: Absolutely, I was gonna get to it, but you're gonna

13
00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:33,279
Speaker 1: do it, so go ahead.

14
00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:36,720
Speaker 3: So this is a big day obviously for so many

15
00:00:36,760 --> 00:00:39,880
Speaker 3: and people who made the ultimate sacrifice. And I very

16
00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:43,199
Speaker 3: often on this day tweeted out or posted a picture

17
00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:46,919
Speaker 3: of this famous cemetery in the Netherlands where American soldiers

18
00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:51,800
Speaker 3: are buried who helped liberate Europe and particularly in my case,

19
00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:54,640
Speaker 3: the Netherlands, because my father and mother were little kids

20
00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:57,480
Speaker 3: in World War Two and the Nazis occupied the Netherlands,

21
00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:01,320
Speaker 3: and they tell stories from a kid's it's so interesting.

22
00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:04,440
Speaker 3: My dad talks about when the bombs started dropping and

23
00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:07,000
Speaker 3: the first reaction to the kids was because they knew

24
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:10,440
Speaker 3: this could happen. The first reaction was no school. You know,

25
00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:13,880
Speaker 3: he's ten years old when this happens. And they eventually

26
00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:15,600
Speaker 3: send a lot of the kids in the southern part

27
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:18,040
Speaker 3: of Holland to all the farms and the adults kind

28
00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:20,640
Speaker 3: of rote it out in their houses. The farms had

29
00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:23,480
Speaker 3: the food, the ones that weren't ransacked by Germans.

30
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:23,800
Speaker 4: Whatever.

31
00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:27,600
Speaker 3: But I bring this up because without those those soldiers,

32
00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:30,960
Speaker 3: without the American involvement, who knows what happens. I probably

33
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:33,600
Speaker 3: don't exist. So this is a big day for me

34
00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:37,440
Speaker 3: always to recognize the sacrifice that those men and women

35
00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:40,440
Speaker 3: made in the war in Europe. And I know the

36
00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:42,840
Speaker 3: war was fought all over the world, but you know,

37
00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:47,600
Speaker 3: the ME Department figures into the Amsterdam and Netherlands equation here,

38
00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:49,000
Speaker 3: so I always like to bring that up.

39
00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:51,360
Speaker 2: Well, I'm glad that did happen.

40
00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:55,520
Speaker 1: So Memorial Day, love to all of those who have

41
00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:59,040
Speaker 1: given their life for this country. For us basically to

42
00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:01,000
Speaker 1: do what we do every single day, which is to

43
00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:04,280
Speaker 1: talk about sports and talk about the Texans in particular.

44
00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:05,440
Speaker 2: And I got one from Mark.

45
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:07,640
Speaker 1: This is gonna be It's gonna be pretty fun because

Speaker 1: Twitter if you agree, disagree, or whatever you would like

51
00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:25,680
Speaker 1: to be able to do. It's called top five top five,

52
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:29,600
Speaker 1: and I have come up with I think I came

53
00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:33,560
Speaker 1: up with see one, two, three, or five six. I

54
00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:39,400
Speaker 1: came up with six categories of top fives, okay, and

55
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:41,639
Speaker 1: I'm gonna hit Mark with it. I'm gonna give him

56
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:45,440
Speaker 1: some secondary option, give him my top five reverse order

57
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:49,920
Speaker 1: going from five to one, give him some other candidates

58
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:52,400
Speaker 1: and see if you want to replace one I have

59
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:55,320
Speaker 1: the wrong order, or however you would like to see it,

60
00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:57,600
Speaker 1: or however you would like to argue or state your

61
00:02:57,680 --> 00:02:59,799
Speaker 1: case are Patty, Mark Vandimir.

62
00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:01,080
Speaker 2: Here we go. Top five.

63
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:09,160
Speaker 1: Best non AFC South games on the schedule. Okay, best

64
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:13,480
Speaker 1: non AFC South games on the schedule. So here the

65
00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:18,160
Speaker 1: five I came up with in this order. Five Lions

66
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:22,280
Speaker 1: Sunday Night game, and the Texans will be wearing the

67
00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:25,000
Speaker 1: battle red now they might be worrying it before that,

68
00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:26,960
Speaker 1: I don't think so. I think that might be the

69
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:29,200
Speaker 1: first time they're wearing the battle Red and they are

70
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:30,600
Speaker 1: going to look awesome.

71
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:34,960
Speaker 2: Detroit Lions Sunday night in the battle Red. That is

72
00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:36,880
Speaker 2: gonna be cool for everybody to see across the country.

73
00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:38,800
Speaker 2: Wearing the full reds Okay. Number four.

74
00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:44,600
Speaker 1: Against the Buffalo Bills on Sunday afternoon, wearing the h

75
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:47,080
Speaker 1: Town Blue alternate unis.

76
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:49,080
Speaker 2: That's gonna be awesome.

77
00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:57,760
Speaker 1: Number three Chiefs at Arrowhead Sunday, December twenty first, number

78
00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:01,520
Speaker 1: two went back and forth on these, but there's a

79
00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:04,880
Speaker 1: reason I went this way. Number two the Dallas Cowboys

80
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:10,920
Speaker 1: on Monday Night at Jerry World, leaving number one the

81
00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:15,560
Speaker 1: Baltimore Ravens on Christmas Day at NRG Stadium. What a

82
00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:18,240
Speaker 1: present that will be under the tree mark. Those are

83
00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:22,159
Speaker 1: my five best non AFC South games on the schedule.

84
00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:27,320
Speaker 1: The others that went to honorable mention. Halloween Night at

85
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:30,880
Speaker 1: the Jets, Sunday afternoon at Green Bay.

86
00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:35,560
Speaker 3: Okay, well, when you mentioned this, the first game I

87
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:38,160
Speaker 3: thought of was Baltimore number one, So we're at agreement

88
00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:38,400
Speaker 3: on that.

89
00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:38,800
Speaker 5: Okay.

90
00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:42,400
Speaker 3: All right, if we're talking from a pure football since

91
00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:45,599
Speaker 3: Johnny with the AFC South out of the equation, I

92
00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:48,240
Speaker 3: feel like you gotta go AFC with all of it.

93
00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:51,000
Speaker 3: But I get what we're saying here because there's an

94
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:53,960
Speaker 3: element of showmanship and the games.

95
00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:56,480
Speaker 4: Count, but they count more in the AFC.

96
00:04:56,640 --> 00:04:58,800
Speaker 3: Right, you want to knock off those powers in the

97
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:01,600
Speaker 3: AFC and show you along and just knock them down

98
00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:04,200
Speaker 3: a peg as you march your way toward the postseason.

99
00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:08,120
Speaker 3: So I would say Baltimore's number one. I'm with you

100
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:11,520
Speaker 3: that in terms of pure marquee value and meaning to

101
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:16,800
Speaker 3: us emotionally. Dallas's number two. Emotions, yes, but football wise,

102
00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:20,120
Speaker 3: I would put the Chiefs number two. And those games

103
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:22,560
Speaker 3: are so close together, the four days apart Baltimore and

104
00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:28,200
Speaker 3: Kansas City. Should here's a little subcategory for you. Would

105
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:31,560
Speaker 3: it have been better to put either the Browns or

106
00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:35,200
Speaker 3: the Bengals in there? Okay, as the other team in

107
00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:38,000
Speaker 3: the round robin? Because wait, let me get this straight.

108
00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:41,839
Speaker 3: The Chiefs play the North, right, so you could have

109
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:44,920
Speaker 3: had on Saturday the Texas playing the Chiefs and the

110
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:47,600
Speaker 3: Ravens playing anybody else in the AFC North. So they

111
00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:49,960
Speaker 3: could have been playing the Bengals. So that way, the

112
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:53,800
Speaker 3: Bengals would be playing against the Chiefs on Christmas Day?

113
00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:55,400
Speaker 5: Oh yeah?

114
00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:58,560
Speaker 3: Would that have been better than the Steelers playing on

115
00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:01,840
Speaker 3: Christmas Day. But you know, the Pittsburgh Steelers might have

116
00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:03,719
Speaker 3: a better record. Who knows how good they're gonna be

117
00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:05,719
Speaker 3: this year. You know, they did what they did last

118
00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:07,320
Speaker 3: year with their quarterback situations.

119
00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:10,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, when it comes to the Steelers, seriously, you just

120
00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:11,800
Speaker 1: you never know. I mean we you know, we're not

121
00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:14,360
Speaker 1: facing them. That could be a justin fields game down

122
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:17,120
Speaker 1: the road. It could be Russell Wilson on a comeback

123
00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:18,440
Speaker 1: Player of the Year sort of thing.

124
00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:20,120
Speaker 2: With the Steelers. So I get it.

125
00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:22,920
Speaker 1: But I think the first the number five of the

126
00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:26,320
Speaker 1: lines number before the bills, in large part because there's

127
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:31,320
Speaker 1: such we know, there was such to do about the uniforms,

128
00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:33,080
Speaker 1: and those are the two times we know we're wearing

129
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:35,120
Speaker 1: the alternate uniforms, and so I think that's gonna be

130
00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:36,120
Speaker 1: pretty cool and there's gonna be.

131
00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:38,280
Speaker 2: A lot of a lot of juice in the building

132
00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:39,480
Speaker 2: for those Okay.

133
00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:43,919
Speaker 3: And I said I said this on Shawn's Utopia podcast.

134
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:46,120
Speaker 3: I was a guest and I said, the Detroit game

135
00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:49,480
Speaker 3: is electric to me. That might be my favorite home date,

136
00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:53,880
Speaker 3: regardless of meaning and everything, because you know, Sunday night

137
00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:56,200
Speaker 3: it's battle Red. I know the Bills in the h

138
00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:59,320
Speaker 3: Town uniforms. That's gonna be awesome. But the Sunday night

139
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:02,000
Speaker 3: element of Detroit and having a long week to get

140
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:03,640
Speaker 3: ready for that one, that is going to be a

141
00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:06,320
Speaker 3: monster game. Plus the return of Aaron Glenn who's the

142
00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:09,680
Speaker 3: DC and original Texan for the Detroit Lions.

143
00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:11,320
Speaker 2: Okay, let's get to the next one.

144
00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:18,760
Speaker 1: Next category, best quarterbacks on the schedule. Now, I feel

145
00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:22,440
Speaker 1: like three, two, one are pretty easy, but four and

146
00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:26,600
Speaker 1: beyond kind of tough to be honest. All right, here's

147
00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:28,960
Speaker 1: my honorable do get my honorable mention first. Now I'll

148
00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:32,080
Speaker 1: read you my five and then I'll yeah John number

149
00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:35,120
Speaker 1: five to a tongue of I low with the Dolphins,

150
00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:41,600
Speaker 1: number four, and it's a caveat a healthy Aaron Rodgers

151
00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:44,920
Speaker 1: with the Jets three two to one are very easy.

152
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:48,960
Speaker 1: Josh Lamar, Patrick Josh Allen Bill's three, Lamar Jackson, Ravens two,

153
00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:54,480
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes Chiefs one honorable mention Jared Goff Dak Prescott

154
00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:56,360
Speaker 1: best quarterbacks on the schedule.

155
00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:00,320
Speaker 2: Do you disagree first of all with one, two, three?

156
00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:05,160
Speaker 3: All right, it's interesting because you don't have golf in

157
00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:08,040
Speaker 3: the top five. I do not Tua is the big

158
00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:10,480
Speaker 3: factor here. Aaron Rodgers has to be in there if

159
00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:12,400
Speaker 3: he's healthy. You know, all of this stuff is if

160
00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:14,880
Speaker 3: they're healthy, of course, of course, So I think you

161
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:17,640
Speaker 3: have it right one, two, three, four with mahomes lamar

162
00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:21,840
Speaker 3: Allen Rogers, Rogers at this stage of his life. The

163
00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:24,960
Speaker 3: fifth guy is the is the question here which offense

164
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:27,680
Speaker 3: scares me more? And which quarterback scares me more? Golf

165
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:30,840
Speaker 3: or Tua. And here's another thing. You know what's good

166
00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:34,800
Speaker 3: about this question. The AFC South is eligible and does

167
00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:38,040
Speaker 3: not have anybody in there. So that is awesome that

168
00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:41,000
Speaker 3: we could possibly have AFC South in this top five.

169
00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:42,920
Speaker 3: But we don't because there's no way they have a

170
00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:46,200
Speaker 3: top five quarterback in this mix unless things dramatically change.

171
00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:49,200
Speaker 3: So I like that part. But Johnny, which offense and

172
00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:51,400
Speaker 3: QB scares you more? Tua or Golf?

173
00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:56,200
Speaker 2: That's where I was kind of stuck.

174
00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:58,439
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't want to say they're pretty similar,

175
00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:02,400
Speaker 1: but they've got most said wide receiver. I think the

176
00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:06,360
Speaker 1: one major difference between the two offenses is the fact

177
00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:09,320
Speaker 1: that the Lions have a better offensive line. I mean,

178
00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:11,000
Speaker 1: I think the Lions running backs are really good, but

179
00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:14,840
Speaker 1: I think the Dolphins speed kind of makes up for

180
00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:18,440
Speaker 1: whatever they don't have, and Jamarin Jamier Gibbs and David Montgomery,

181
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:21,520
Speaker 1: so that's really really close. The receivers are very very close.

182
00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:23,480
Speaker 1: The offensive line is different for the Lions. I think

183
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:26,080
Speaker 1: if you put Tula on the Lions, I think it

184
00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:30,440
Speaker 1: would be that much scarier than Jared Goff. So that's

185
00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:32,720
Speaker 1: why I kind of went with Tua. I just think

186
00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:35,080
Speaker 1: the Dolphins are scary because they've got Tyreek, they got

187
00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:38,200
Speaker 1: Jalen Waddle, and Tua has gotten to a point where

188
00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:40,360
Speaker 1: he's very comfortable with them, and they've got all that

189
00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:43,280
Speaker 1: speed at running back. So I think Tua is probably

190
00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:46,000
Speaker 1: a little bit scary, especially in December. You know, you're

191
00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:47,560
Speaker 1: coming off of buy and now you got to face

192
00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:51,760
Speaker 1: those speed demons, and they're made They're made to play inside,

193
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:54,440
Speaker 1: They're made to play inside on that fast turf. So

194
00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:56,959
Speaker 1: I worry probably a little bit more about Tua from

195
00:09:56,960 --> 00:09:59,240
Speaker 1: that that perspective.

196
00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:01,640
Speaker 3: But you set off line, I like the Texans pass

197
00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:05,640
Speaker 3: rush coming off of Buy at Home, Electric atmosphere. You know,

198
00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:08,400
Speaker 3: this is the Big three games right here. This is it, man.

199
00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:11,880
Speaker 3: This You're entering the final four games of the season, Bang, bang, back,

200
00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:16,080
Speaker 3: let's go beat the Dolphins. That one does not concern

201
00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:19,120
Speaker 3: me as much as maybe Detroit does, just looking at

202
00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:21,040
Speaker 3: it on paper from here, and who knows what it's

203
00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:21,920
Speaker 3: like once you get there.

204
00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:25,679
Speaker 1: So would you replace any of those five with golf

205
00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:28,199
Speaker 1: Prescott or even your poalt, Trevor Lawrence.

206
00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:31,560
Speaker 3: No, I would not put Trevor Lawrence in that top five.

207
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:33,720
Speaker 3: I would not put Dak in that top five, although

208
00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:37,360
Speaker 3: Dallas could be really cloting at home on a Monday night,

209
00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:40,080
Speaker 3: you know, a long week to prep and Dak, look,

210
00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:42,000
Speaker 3: they've won twelve games three years in a row for

211
00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:44,760
Speaker 3: a reason, and I know that weapons don't look as

212
00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:46,480
Speaker 3: good on paper now as they did a couple of

213
00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:50,120
Speaker 3: years ago, for instance. But until further notice, this is

214
00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:52,920
Speaker 3: a double digit win team waiting to happen. I guess,

215
00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:56,280
Speaker 3: let's see. I think that I would put golf in

216
00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:59,320
Speaker 3: the top five over to it just on paper, And

217
00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:02,079
Speaker 3: it's not golf himself, it's golf in that context of

218
00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:03,360
Speaker 3: the of the Lions offense.

219
00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:10,240
Speaker 1: Understood, Okay, this next category, there's some meaning. I didn't

220
00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:13,000
Speaker 1: say not meaning, but I have a thought about this

221
00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:16,240
Speaker 1: particular category, and it wasn't until I did this that

222
00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:20,480
Speaker 1: I went, oh leap, and I'll explain why. The best

223
00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:23,880
Speaker 1: running backs on the Texans schedule in twenty twenty four

224
00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:31,120
Speaker 1: number five Breese Hall the New York Jets. Number four,

225
00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:36,920
Speaker 1: Travis Etna the Jaguars number three. I couldn't pick between one,

226
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:41,599
Speaker 1: so I left both the Lions duo of David Montgomery

227
00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:44,080
Speaker 1: and Jamier Gibbs number two.

228
00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:45,120
Speaker 2: But this was hard.

229
00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:48,200
Speaker 1: I but I thought about who did what to us

230
00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:49,880
Speaker 1: last year and that's how I was able to rank

231
00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:53,880
Speaker 1: them Derrick Henry Ravens at two and at number one

232
00:11:54,040 --> 00:12:01,720
Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor now honorable mention, Isaiah Pacheco, Chiefs, DeAndre Swift, Bears,

233
00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:09,200
Speaker 1: Ramandre Stevenson Patriots, Josh Jacobs Packers, Dolphins, trio of backs,

234
00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:10,440
Speaker 1: their gaggle of speed.

235
00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:14,880
Speaker 2: What I thought after I did this was only crap.

236
00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:18,280
Speaker 1: This run defense for the Texans had better be even

237
00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:20,760
Speaker 1: better than it was the second half of last year.

238
00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:23,000
Speaker 2: Or those are a lot.

239
00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:25,000
Speaker 1: Of running backs that are really good, that were in

240
00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:28,120
Speaker 1: the top ten in running in rushing last year, and

241
00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:30,520
Speaker 1: they're gonna pick up big yards and make life miserable

242
00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:33,240
Speaker 1: in the Texans defense. Now, I hope Texas run defense

243
00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:35,720
Speaker 1: is a lot better. But Mark, that's one of the

244
00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:38,200
Speaker 1: better groups of running backs I can ever remember the

245
00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:40,240
Speaker 1: Texas facing in any one season.

246
00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:42,040
Speaker 4: You know. And it's a good thing to bring up.

247
00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:44,360
Speaker 3: Because we talk about quarterbacks and these big games and

248
00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:46,839
Speaker 3: the uniforms and everything. Maybe we should be talking more

249
00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:50,240
Speaker 3: about these running backs on this schedule because they are deadly.

250
00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:53,840
Speaker 3: I like Jonathan Taylor at number one because you face

251
00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:57,960
Speaker 3: him twice, yep, and Derreck Henry you face once and Henry.

252
00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:00,600
Speaker 3: You just had two really good games against him. But

253
00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:02,880
Speaker 3: Henry and that offense, Oh my gosh, what's that going

254
00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:04,800
Speaker 3: to be like? But I think you're right there, Jonathan

255
00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:07,720
Speaker 3: Taylor number one threat at running back, Henry number two.

256
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:11,600
Speaker 3: Now where I will question you is you cannot put

257
00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:13,599
Speaker 3: groups in here. It's either the running back or the

258
00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:16,720
Speaker 3: running back group, right, So I still think Gibbs is

259
00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:20,400
Speaker 3: really frightening. I'll put ETN third, though, because ETN always

260
00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:23,760
Speaker 3: concerns me. I think ETN is the straw that stirs

261
00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:27,200
Speaker 3: the drink in that Jags offense. I've said it before, Breeseall,

262
00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:28,880
Speaker 3: I'm fine. I think after that it's kind of a

263
00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:29,240
Speaker 3: toss up.

264
00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:30,720
Speaker 4: Johnny. There are a lot of guys you could put in.

265
00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:31,760
Speaker 4: We get debate all day.

266
00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:34,600
Speaker 3: I think the tough thing is coming up with one, two, three,

267
00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:35,520
Speaker 3: and I think we've done it.

268
00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:37,959
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think you're right. Taylor at one, Henriette two,

269
00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:41,199
Speaker 1: eat In at three. I mean even if you moved

270
00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:44,920
Speaker 1: Brisawt a four and put Samir Gibbs at five, I

271
00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:47,640
Speaker 1: mean you could, you could possibly do that. But even

272
00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:51,880
Speaker 1: in games, you go, ah, you know, you know the Bears,

273
00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:56,640
Speaker 1: the Patriots, you still got to face deanre Swift, Ramandre Stevenson.

274
00:13:57,040 --> 00:13:59,200
Speaker 1: You know, the Packers have got Josh Jacobs. They also

275
00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:03,599
Speaker 1: kept aj and then they drafted Marshaun Lloyd. So you

276
00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:05,280
Speaker 1: gotta handle all that with the Packers.

277
00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:06,000
Speaker 2: My goodness.

278
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:08,880
Speaker 1: Now, if we didn't get your attention with the best

279
00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:12,679
Speaker 1: running backs on the schedule, then I'm about to do

280
00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:18,439
Speaker 1: that with this group right here. Oh, the best pass

281
00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:22,120
Speaker 1: catchers on the schedule. Now, I said pass catchers because

282
00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:27,000
Speaker 1: there are a couple tight ends kind of in this mix.

283
00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:30,120
Speaker 1: And when I tell you the first name, you're gonna go,

284
00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:34,440
Speaker 1: he's at number five. Yeah, And in fact I had

285
00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:36,920
Speaker 1: to go back and forth with he and two others.

286
00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:38,080
Speaker 2: So here we go.

287
00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:42,600
Speaker 1: The best pass catchers on the Texans twenty twenty four schedule.

288
00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:47,360
Speaker 2: Number five. C Dee Lamb of the Dallas Cowboys is

289
00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:49,880
Speaker 2: at number five. That should tell you something.

290
00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:54,200
Speaker 1: Number four torched us last year. One of the best

291
00:14:54,240 --> 00:14:57,000
Speaker 1: young receivers in the league. Garrett Wilson of the Jets.

292
00:14:57,840 --> 00:15:02,520
Speaker 1: Number three. Nobody has stopped him at all, except for

293
00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:05,160
Speaker 1: maybe the Dallas Mavericks crowd last night, which bowed him.

294
00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:10,520
Speaker 1: Travis Kelcey of the Kansas City Chiefs. Number two former

295
00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:17,000
Speaker 1: Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill of the Dolphins, and number one.

296
00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:19,360
Speaker 1: We will face him for the first time since his

297
00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:24,080
Speaker 1: rookie year in twenty twenty Justin Jefferson of the Minnesota Vikings.

298
00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:26,640
Speaker 2: Potentially there was a rumor.

299
00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:29,960
Speaker 1: That actually looks like it might have been true that

300
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:32,720
Speaker 1: the Vikings were trying to trade up from elite neighbors

301
00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:36,360
Speaker 1: and trade with the Giants, and Justin Jefferson would have

302
00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:38,040
Speaker 1: been involved in some sort of trade, and I don't

303
00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:39,840
Speaker 1: know if he would have gone to the Giants, but

304
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:42,240
Speaker 1: Justin Jefferson was mentioned in a trade.

305
00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:44,440
Speaker 2: He does not have a contract. He is holding out. Now.

306
00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:47,720
Speaker 1: Those are the five top five five through one Honora

307
00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:55,120
Speaker 1: mentioned save Flowers. The Ravens, DeAndre Hopkins the Titans. I

308
00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:58,080
Speaker 1: think the scariest receiver for the Jaguars is Evan Ingram,

309
00:15:58,360 --> 00:16:01,600
Speaker 1: and then Jalen Waddle the Dolphin. I did not even put.

310
00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:03,440
Speaker 1: Oh my god, it's just dawned on me. I'm on

311
00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:06,760
Speaker 1: Ross Saint Brown is on the schedule. He's an honorable mention.

312
00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:10,840
Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's ridiculous. You thought the running backs

313
00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:14,120
Speaker 1: are good? Holy cow, These wide receivers are good? Mark

314
00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:17,120
Speaker 1: my top five, Lamb Wilson, Kelsey, Hill, Jefferson.

315
00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:19,000
Speaker 2: Did I get it right?

316
00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:21,640
Speaker 4: I think.

317
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:26,040
Speaker 3: Hill does belong to number one. I think Jefferson is

318
00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:29,120
Speaker 3: it probably belongs to number one. But based on who's

319
00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:31,720
Speaker 3: throwing in the football in this context point, I'll knock

320
00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:34,720
Speaker 3: him down to Peger two. Kelsey to me, I know

321
00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:37,680
Speaker 3: he's older, who knows what happens with Kelsey this year?

322
00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:40,120
Speaker 4: But the problem is, you know, there you are.

323
00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:44,000
Speaker 3: And it's it's seventeen to fourteen, and you got the lead,

324
00:16:44,640 --> 00:16:47,840
Speaker 3: and it's a one drive situation of Mahomes bang bang bang,

325
00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:51,080
Speaker 3: Kelsey touchdown, it's over or overtime and they get the ball.

326
00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:53,400
Speaker 4: Johnny, It's so confounding.

327
00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:55,040
Speaker 3: You know, he could have a bad game, but come

328
00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:56,920
Speaker 3: through the big bucket at the end of the game

329
00:16:57,280 --> 00:16:59,720
Speaker 3: or a couple to really ruin your day. So I'll

330
00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:02,000
Speaker 3: always put Kelsey in that top three. I think Wilson's

331
00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:05,200
Speaker 3: a great pick. With a healthy Aaron Rodgers, CD Lamb's

332
00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:07,160
Speaker 3: gonna get a lot of attention because of the Cowboys

333
00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:10,520
Speaker 3: depletion at pass catcher, and you know with the with

334
00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:13,359
Speaker 3: the rest of the position group a wide receiver, tight end,

335
00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:16,720
Speaker 3: et cetera. Uh So I'll knock that down a little bit.

336
00:17:17,080 --> 00:17:20,040
Speaker 3: And I was saying a mon Ra, it's unbelievable what

337
00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:22,560
Speaker 3: he's been able to do. So I like Hill one,

338
00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:26,960
Speaker 3: Kelsey two, Wilson three, Jefferson four, and I'll put CD five.

339
00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:30,000
Speaker 2: Okay, all right, got out justin John.

340
00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:32,360
Speaker 1: I think you're right about that with the quarterback situation,

341
00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:35,320
Speaker 1: and maybe that's enough to get Jefferson out of Minnesota.

342
00:17:35,359 --> 00:17:38,119
Speaker 2: We don't have to face him, and I would think.

343
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:40,200
Speaker 1: Everybody else's the division has done enough in receivers, so

344
00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:41,720
Speaker 1: we won't face him twice a year, So I'll be

345
00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:45,359
Speaker 1: okay with wherever he goes. I think, But my goodness,

346
00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:49,280
Speaker 1: that past catching group is absolutely ridiculous.

347
00:17:49,320 --> 00:17:51,160
Speaker 2: I didn't put anybody, even from the Packers.

348
00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:53,719
Speaker 1: I think the Packers' receivers are really really good, but

349
00:17:53,760 --> 00:17:55,720
Speaker 1: they're the Packers to me, are a little bit more.

350
00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:57,760
Speaker 1: Some is greater than the whole of its parts. Yeah,

351
00:17:57,760 --> 00:17:59,280
Speaker 1: the whole is greater than some of its parts. Sorry

352
00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:02,560
Speaker 1: I said backwards, but man, I can't believe I forgot.

353
00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:05,480
Speaker 1: I'm gon Ross Saint Brown's. I struggled with who to

354
00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:07,520
Speaker 1: put in the top five, but man, that's a strong

355
00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:11,040
Speaker 1: top five. Okay, let's go to I didn't want to

356
00:18:11,080 --> 00:18:12,960
Speaker 1: do it by defensive groups. I think that's kind of hard,

357
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:17,240
Speaker 1: so I just said best defenders on the schedule, the

358
00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:19,800
Speaker 1: best ones you're gonna face on the schedule, starting at

359
00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:23,720
Speaker 1: number five, only facing what's every four years. Thank god,

360
00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:25,720
Speaker 1: it'll be the first time we faced them. Detroit Lions

361
00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:32,360
Speaker 1: defensive end Aiden Hutchinson number four, Jets defensive back Sauce

362
00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:38,560
Speaker 1: Gardner number three, Chiefs defensive tackle, defensive end Chris Jones

363
00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:45,159
Speaker 1: number two, Jets defensive lineman Quinnen Williams and Public Gatemy

364
00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:47,840
Speaker 1: number one after knocking out CJ last year, and number

365
00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:56,080
Speaker 1: one Micah Parsons Dallas cow Boys honorable mention Justin Mattabeik Ravens,

366
00:18:56,600 --> 00:19:03,600
Speaker 1: Kyle Hamilton Ravens, foy Aluaka Jaguars, Jeffrey Simmons, Titans.

367
00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:06,200
Speaker 2: How did I do that? Top five?

368
00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:12,080
Speaker 3: It's it's pretty frightening again when you mentioned those names, right, So,

369
00:19:13,359 --> 00:19:15,639
Speaker 3: I really I think Quinn Williams, you know, based on

370
00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:19,120
Speaker 3: what he did last year, is a menace. Now, Texans

371
00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:21,239
Speaker 3: line in that game, everybody's banged up.

372
00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:21,640
Speaker 4: You don't.

373
00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:24,840
Speaker 3: You don't have your compliment of receivers CJ. Stroud, whatever

374
00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:28,320
Speaker 3: happened at the Denver game, Denver game hangover even though

375
00:19:28,359 --> 00:19:30,639
Speaker 3: they won the game. So I look at it like that,

376
00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:33,439
Speaker 3: I think you pretty much nailed this thing. It's funny

377
00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:36,920
Speaker 3: that Simmons you said honorable mention. This is Jeffrey Simmons.

378
00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:40,359
Speaker 3: We're talking about Jeffrey freaking Simmons. You know, he's been

379
00:19:40,359 --> 00:19:42,919
Speaker 3: a Texans menace. I feel like he belongs in that

380
00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:45,720
Speaker 3: top five. But that shows you. Look, we all know

381
00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:48,760
Speaker 3: the schedules loaded. We all know it's loaded with playoff teams,

382
00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:53,480
Speaker 3: with contenders each side of the ledger of the NFL, AFC, NFC,

383
00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:55,440
Speaker 3: So I can't argue with any of it. You could

384
00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:57,199
Speaker 3: jumble them around a little bit if you want. I

385
00:19:57,200 --> 00:19:58,800
Speaker 3: think that's a pretty potent top five.

386
00:19:59,160 --> 00:19:59,360
Speaker 2: Yeah.

387
00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:01,600
Speaker 1: I had Simmons in there initially, and then I had

388
00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:05,560
Speaker 1: Aiden Hutchinson. I thought, man, you know Simmons obviously coming

389
00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:07,800
Speaker 1: off an injury, Hutchinson coming off the year he did

390
00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:10,040
Speaker 1: that was kind of the separator from me. But the

391
00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:11,920
Speaker 1: more I think about it, man, maybe a short chance.

392
00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:15,520
Speaker 1: Kyle Hamilton. One interesting point though, We're gonna face Michael

393
00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:19,359
Speaker 1: Parsons and Chris Jones this year. We played Micah Parsons

394
00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:22,960
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty two. Michael Parsons had four tackles in

395
00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:25,840
Speaker 1: that game, and I was it. In the game we

396
00:20:25,880 --> 00:20:28,760
Speaker 1: played Chris Jones. I think it was the week prior.

397
00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:31,840
Speaker 1: It was the week prior. I think we faced Chris Jones.

398
00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:36,600
Speaker 1: He Me and you had the same amount of tackles,

399
00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:42,359
Speaker 1: TFLs and sacks zero. He had nothing against us. Now,

400
00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:46,160
Speaker 1: the game before that, we played him in twenty twenty

401
00:20:46,240 --> 00:20:47,760
Speaker 1: opener and he.

402
00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:50,679
Speaker 2: Had a second and a half tom me the game.

403
00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:52,960
Speaker 2: But he was sick when.

404
00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:54,520
Speaker 1: We played him in twenty twenty two and he didn't

405
00:20:54,560 --> 00:20:56,800
Speaker 1: have a stat and we got out of that game

406
00:20:56,840 --> 00:20:59,920
Speaker 1: once skathed. As it pertaining against Chris Jones and Michael Parsons.

407
00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:01,639
Speaker 1: I think that's going to change, and I have the

408
00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:04,320
Speaker 1: utmost respect for those two. But I find it funny

409
00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:09,800
Speaker 1: that Chris Jones has really not played US much. He's

410
00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:12,320
Speaker 1: only he missed both games in twenty nineteen. He played

411
00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:13,880
Speaker 1: the game in twenty twenty, and then he was sick

412
00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:16,879
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty two and didn't do anything. So but

413
00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:20,199
Speaker 1: still I have the utmost respect for that guy and

414
00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:23,199
Speaker 1: what he can do anywhere up and down the offensive line.

415
00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:25,879
Speaker 3: You know, Johnny, the Texans getting so much love and

416
00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:29,480
Speaker 3: everything in this offseason, and they deserve a lot of

417
00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:32,520
Speaker 3: it because of what they did last year. But they'll

418
00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:34,119
Speaker 3: be the first to tell you that the stakes are

419
00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:36,560
Speaker 3: way higher, the competition's way tougher.

420
00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:37,879
Speaker 4: You got to be ready for it.

421
00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:41,480
Speaker 3: And they have no track record defending their turf after

422
00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:44,160
Speaker 3: coming up with a big season like they did, right,

423
00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:47,040
Speaker 3: So that's what they need to establish here. And I

424
00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:49,600
Speaker 3: always go back to the division. You know, how do

425
00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:53,040
Speaker 3: you handle guys like Simmons, like Grover Stewart, DeForest Buckner.

426
00:21:53,080 --> 00:21:55,760
Speaker 3: When we're talking about these tough defensive players, or we

427
00:21:55,800 --> 00:21:58,359
Speaker 3: can talk about their offensive players as well. I always

428
00:21:58,400 --> 00:22:00,520
Speaker 3: go back to the division, to the vision when I'm

429
00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:03,600
Speaker 3: talking about this kind of stuff. But you mentioned Chris

430
00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:06,720
Speaker 3: Jones and the games against the Chiefs and the Cowboys

431
00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:07,800
Speaker 3: in twenty twenty two.

432
00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:08,680
Speaker 4: Late in the season.

433
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:11,280
Speaker 3: Look, I credit the Texans all day long for playing

434
00:22:11,320 --> 00:22:13,679
Speaker 3: so competitively in those games and taking the Chiefs to

435
00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:16,240
Speaker 3: overtime and stopping Mahomes in overtime and everything they did,

436
00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:19,040
Speaker 3: but they still lost those games. And the other teams

437
00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:22,919
Speaker 3: I got a feeling that they must have thought, subconsciously

438
00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:24,639
Speaker 3: or whatever, we're going to go in and play the

439
00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:26,639
Speaker 3: Texans who have only what when they have two wins

440
00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:30,359
Speaker 3: at the time, right, So, yeah, it's just a different situation.

441
00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:32,400
Speaker 3: And I don't want to take anything away from those

442
00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:34,840
Speaker 3: performances to keep those games close, but I think you're

443
00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:38,320
Speaker 3: going to get a very different kind of effort from

444
00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:41,280
Speaker 3: every opponent on the schedule this year. They've had it

445
00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:44,320
Speaker 3: hearing about the Texans. Yeah, Texans are the darlings of

446
00:22:44,320 --> 00:22:46,359
Speaker 3: the league. Well, they hear about that stuff, and you

447
00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:49,080
Speaker 3: bet their coaches are going to be all over them.

448
00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:51,320
Speaker 4: Talking to their players. Hey, these guys are getting all

449
00:22:51,359 --> 00:22:51,760
Speaker 4: this love.

450
00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:54,359
Speaker 3: Let's go. Let's go get them opening Day. All the

451
00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:56,639
Speaker 3: rest of the dates as well. Better be ready.

452
00:22:57,080 --> 00:22:59,399
Speaker 2: Okay, let me give you one. I can't believe it.

453
00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:01,520
Speaker 1: When I start to talking about having games against the Texans,

454
00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:04,000
Speaker 1: I was thinking about it from a negative perspective and

455
00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:06,120
Speaker 1: what guys didn't do. Then I thought, oh my god,

456
00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:08,720
Speaker 1: there was one guy that I forgot that absolutely has

457
00:23:08,840 --> 00:23:13,399
Speaker 1: dominated the last three games against the Texans, Rokwan Smith.

458
00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:14,760
Speaker 1: Would you put him in the top five?

459
00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:19,000
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, I can't believe. You know, here's the thing.

460
00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:22,800
Speaker 3: It's not just his playmaking, it's the leadership ability. You know,

461
00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:26,120
Speaker 3: he's the perfect Raven. I can't believe the Bears. Let

462
00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:28,639
Speaker 3: the Ravens have this player. And I just feel like

463
00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:30,960
Speaker 3: he's going to the AFC. You know that was their

464
00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:33,280
Speaker 3: attitude about it. If they had traded him to an

465
00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:37,200
Speaker 3: NFC team, Oh, I would have freaked out for their

466
00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:43,159
Speaker 3: fans because you are handing the opponent a leader, a

467
00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:46,359
Speaker 3: difference maker, and they had him, Johnny, I think they

468
00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:48,359
Speaker 3: should still have them. I think they never should have

469
00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:52,080
Speaker 3: made that deal. They should still have Roquan Smith. He

470
00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:54,800
Speaker 3: should be a lifetime Bear. Look, he makes a great Raven.

471
00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:57,360
Speaker 3: He would have made a great Bear, great, eternal, all

472
00:23:57,440 --> 00:24:00,000
Speaker 3: time great Bear defensive player.

473
00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:03,919
Speaker 4: At I'm backer, the Bears are live backer. You. Yeah,

474
00:24:03,960 --> 00:24:04,880
Speaker 4: he should be a Bear.

475
00:24:05,280 --> 00:24:05,600
Speaker 2: Yeah.

476
00:24:05,960 --> 00:24:08,080
Speaker 3: Upset that he's a Raven because now you gotta face

477
00:24:08,119 --> 00:24:10,360
Speaker 3: him again and it's gonna be Christmas, and I hope

478
00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:11,360
Speaker 3: he's not Scrooge.

479
00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:14,160
Speaker 1: I think I'm gonna redo my five. I'm gonna move

480
00:24:14,359 --> 00:24:18,920
Speaker 1: Gardner Sauce to five. Aiden's out Rokwon goes to four. God,

481
00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:20,840
Speaker 1: I hate facing neck. That guy has all kinds of

482
00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:22,040
Speaker 1: electric Okay.

483
00:24:22,600 --> 00:24:23,120
Speaker 2: Last one.

484
00:24:23,359 --> 00:24:29,199
Speaker 1: Best storylines on the schedule. Okay, number five starting the

485
00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:31,359
Speaker 1: season where last season ended.

486
00:24:32,359 --> 00:24:33,040
Speaker 2: Number four.

487
00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:38,000
Speaker 1: Every single game this year is seemingly a Stefan Biggs

488
00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:38,800
Speaker 1: revenge game.

489
00:24:39,119 --> 00:24:43,560
Speaker 2: He faces the NFC North and we faced the AFC East,

490
00:24:43,880 --> 00:24:47,320
Speaker 2: and he faces his brother, So we have all of

491
00:24:47,359 --> 00:24:48,080
Speaker 2: that going on.

492
00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:52,679
Speaker 1: Number three Chiefs Ravens within five days of one another

493
00:24:52,760 --> 00:24:56,680
Speaker 1: at the holidays. Number two Sunday night prime time at

494
00:24:56,680 --> 00:24:59,160
Speaker 1: home for the first time in five years, actually two

495
00:24:59,160 --> 00:25:03,080
Speaker 1: of them, and then number one Monday Night for the

496
00:25:03,119 --> 00:25:05,840
Speaker 1: first time ever at Dallas.

497
00:25:06,720 --> 00:25:08,960
Speaker 2: Those are the storylines the top five I came up with.

498
00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:15,680
Speaker 3: M Yeah, those are great ones. I would say, yeah,

499
00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:18,480
Speaker 3: this is this is really tough. What's the best story

500
00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:23,120
Speaker 3: of the season, and I'm gonna not surprise you by

501
00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:25,000
Speaker 3: moving your fifth up to the first.

502
00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:27,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, I thought, so that's gonna happen.

503
00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:30,800
Speaker 3: That's that's personal for me. The Colts are always personal.

504
00:25:30,800 --> 00:25:33,120
Speaker 3: They've made me miserable so many times. I love making

505
00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:35,199
Speaker 3: them miserable. I want to do it again. But I

506
00:25:35,200 --> 00:25:38,160
Speaker 3: think relative to what the Texans want to do here

507
00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:40,800
Speaker 3: and again, it comes down to winning the division first

508
00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:43,280
Speaker 3: and then getting whatever by or whatever you can get later,

509
00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:47,040
Speaker 3: playing at home, Week two, whatever of the playoffs. But

510
00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:49,040
Speaker 3: you've got to beat the Colts. You have to find

511
00:25:49,040 --> 00:25:51,080
Speaker 3: a way to sweep this series. Look, you could still

512
00:25:51,119 --> 00:25:53,440
Speaker 3: do it without sweeping them, but I'd rather sweep them.

513
00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:54,840
Speaker 4: I'd rather knock them down.

514
00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:57,160
Speaker 3: I think they're the top contender in the AFC South

515
00:25:57,560 --> 00:25:59,119
Speaker 3: Jags right behind them.

516
00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:01,240
Speaker 4: So to me, that's the storyline.

517
00:26:01,240 --> 00:26:04,000
Speaker 3: You're opening at Indie the scene of the crime, and

518
00:26:04,080 --> 00:26:07,480
Speaker 3: I think, Johnny, if they lose that opener, what are

519
00:26:07,520 --> 00:26:10,160
Speaker 3: people gonna be saying, Oh, the Colts got them this time?

520
00:26:10,359 --> 00:26:12,320
Speaker 3: What about the Texans? Are they gonna do it or not?

521
00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:13,800
Speaker 3: You know, there's gonna be all this talk and it's

522
00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:15,439
Speaker 3: just week one. You could lose that game and win

523
00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:18,080
Speaker 3: the rest of them. But it's such a huge game

524
00:26:18,119 --> 00:26:20,679
Speaker 3: in that way, and we know the division games count twice,

525
00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:25,359
Speaker 3: so to me, that's the biggest issue. But I know

526
00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:27,640
Speaker 3: that from the outside looking, and there's no way that's

527
00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:28,479
Speaker 3: the biggest story.

528
00:26:28,680 --> 00:26:31,800
Speaker 4: No chance. It's a noonkick to start the season.

529
00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:34,320
Speaker 3: People are gonna be like, all right, whatever, good, good

530
00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:36,000
Speaker 3: job one and oh, it's just the Colts.

531
00:26:36,359 --> 00:26:38,600
Speaker 4: Just the Colts. Don't just the Colts.

532
00:26:38,680 --> 00:26:44,120
Speaker 3: Me, it's the freaking Colts.

533
00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:45,800
Speaker 2: Is just the Colts? Came out of your mouth. I

534
00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:47,960
Speaker 2: was thinking the same thing, like, just the Colts, man,

535
00:26:48,160 --> 00:26:50,480
Speaker 2: just the Colts. No way, it is the Colts. And

536
00:26:50,760 --> 00:26:53,919
Speaker 2: here's that thing you're facing Anthony Richardson. There's been a

537
00:26:53,920 --> 00:26:54,440
Speaker 2: lot of talk.

538
00:26:54,640 --> 00:26:58,480
Speaker 1: Zion Franklin's been talking his mess about Hey, when Anthony

539
00:26:58,560 --> 00:27:00,840
Speaker 1: Richardson was in a lineup, he had two for two

540
00:27:01,040 --> 00:27:03,160
Speaker 1: on drives, going right down a field for a touchdown.

541
00:27:03,160 --> 00:27:04,119
Speaker 2: How are you're gonna handle that?

542
00:27:04,600 --> 00:27:08,000
Speaker 1: It's like, and he's got a good point, but okay,

543
00:27:08,200 --> 00:27:09,680
Speaker 1: we beat you in the game that mattered. Yeah, but

544
00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:11,679
Speaker 1: you beat Gardner minshew. So there's gonna be a lot

545
00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:14,080
Speaker 1: of talk about that. So we go up there and

546
00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:17,520
Speaker 1: beat them with Anthony Richardson, there's gonna be okay. Now,

547
00:27:17,520 --> 00:27:18,959
Speaker 1: what are you gonna say if we go up there

548
00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:21,280
Speaker 1: and lose and they have Anthony Richardson, it's gonna be well,

549
00:27:21,280 --> 00:27:22,480
Speaker 1: we would have beaten you last year.

550
00:27:22,840 --> 00:27:25,920
Speaker 2: So I think it's gonna be either way. A lot

551
00:27:25,960 --> 00:27:26,720
Speaker 2: of talk back.

552
00:27:26,600 --> 00:27:29,399
Speaker 1: And forth with that one, but I just started the

553
00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:31,800
Speaker 1: season where it ended. I think it's a great way

554
00:27:31,840 --> 00:27:34,439
Speaker 1: to kick off twenty twenty four. And you're right, it

555
00:27:34,480 --> 00:27:37,679
Speaker 1: doesn't mean anything. It's like one game, but in the

556
00:27:37,720 --> 00:27:40,479
Speaker 1: sense it means every he means nothing and everything all

557
00:27:40,520 --> 00:27:41,280
Speaker 1: at the same time.

558
00:27:41,840 --> 00:27:42,959
Speaker 4: But here's the top story.

559
00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:46,480
Speaker 3: It's the Christmas week, It's the twenty first at Arrowhead

560
00:27:46,560 --> 00:27:50,040
Speaker 3: and then the Ravens at home. These are games of

561
00:27:50,359 --> 00:27:56,280
Speaker 3: high magnitude. The meaning, the opponent, the sexiness, the marquis appeal,

562
00:27:56,359 --> 00:27:59,679
Speaker 3: all of it is there for this two games in

563
00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:02,760
Speaker 3: five five days stretched that you have to navigate through.

564
00:28:03,080 --> 00:28:06,320
Speaker 3: You need at least a split. A sweep would be amazing.

565
00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:09,880
Speaker 3: And I think that's really the top story. With Dallas two,

566
00:28:10,040 --> 00:28:14,199
Speaker 3: I'm from the outside looking in now. Colts three the

567
00:28:14,240 --> 00:28:16,359
Speaker 3: Sunday prime time is that nice story. That's five. I

568
00:28:16,359 --> 00:28:18,919
Speaker 3: think the dig story is fun. If Diggs has a

569
00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:21,600
Speaker 3: big year, we're gonna be talking about this every week.

570
00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:24,400
Speaker 3: What revenge game is this for you? Let me look

571
00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:26,840
Speaker 3: out the list? Oh yeah, this one ranked?

572
00:28:27,080 --> 00:28:27,960
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah.

573
00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:31,879
Speaker 1: I mean Diggs's played at Lambeau a lot, unlike a

574
00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:33,440
Speaker 1: lot of the guys in the Texans roster.

575
00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:35,439
Speaker 2: So this is definitely gonna be fun, no doubt about it.

576
00:28:35,440 --> 00:28:39,480
Speaker 1: We had a lot of fun tugging with Case Keenummoial day.

577
00:28:40,200 --> 00:28:42,240
Speaker 2: There's a guy you want to hear from. It's Case Keenum.

578
00:28:42,240 --> 00:28:44,800
Speaker 1: We'll have that interview with him next right here on

00:28:52,680 --> 00:28:53,520
Speaker 4: Is that all you need?

583

612
00:30:17,040 --> 00:30:20,200
Speaker 6: been good. Pretty pretty hectic, you know, the storm that

613
00:30:20,240 --> 00:30:22,320
Speaker 6: came in last week where we're right in the middle

614
00:30:22,360 --> 00:30:25,280
Speaker 6: of no power at our house, but we're making a

615
00:30:25,320 --> 00:30:26,880

Speaker 6: up and just kind of watched and hung out at

624
00:30:47,560 --> 00:30:49,640
Speaker 6: the you know, made sure that the you know, the

625
00:30:49,640 --> 00:30:52,440
Speaker 6: bar at the at the base of the mountain didn't

626
00:30:52,480 --> 00:30:52,960
Speaker 6: go anywhere.

627
00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:53,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly.

628
00:30:53,640 --> 00:30:55,800
Speaker 6: We got to watch some Cougar basketball there was right

629
00:30:55,840 --> 00:30:58,240
Speaker 6: in the middle of March madness. So watched a few

630
00:30:58,280 --> 00:31:01,680
Speaker 6: good games there. Yeah, that was probably it. See my

631
00:31:01,760 --> 00:31:04,120
Speaker 6: son get on the little slopes. There was betty fun.

632
00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:06,160
Speaker 3: Part of a busy offseason. We know you have your

633
00:31:06,160 --> 00:31:07,960
Speaker 3: camp coming up. We'll talk about that in a moment.

634
00:31:08,040 --> 00:31:10,760
Speaker 3: But OTAs, what do you get out of OTAs? What

635
00:31:10,800 --> 00:31:12,680
Speaker 3: are you working on individually and with the team?

636
00:31:13,160 --> 00:31:16,880
Speaker 6: Yeah, you studied last year's film, you know, and I

637
00:31:16,920 --> 00:31:18,560
Speaker 6: had a little bit of film, which is nice to

638
00:31:18,600 --> 00:31:21,680
Speaker 6: study game film, not just practice film. But you know,

639
00:31:21,760 --> 00:31:25,160
Speaker 6: you improve in areas that you need to improve in uh,

640
00:31:25,200 --> 00:31:27,240
Speaker 6: and then you continue to work work at things that

641
00:31:27,280 --> 00:31:29,959
Speaker 6: you're good at, and I mean that's football, that's life,

642
00:31:29,960 --> 00:31:32,920
Speaker 6: that's what we do in the off season, and you

643
00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:36,360
Speaker 6: just keep training yourself. You're never happy with where you're at.

644
00:31:36,400 --> 00:31:40,160
Speaker 6: You never content. You know, you're you know, I think

645
00:31:40,200 --> 00:31:43,800
Speaker 6: you're comfortable and you're confident, but you're not content with

646
00:31:43,840 --> 00:31:45,840
Speaker 6: where you're at. And even even the good plays, what

647
00:31:45,920 --> 00:31:47,800
Speaker 6: could I have done better and made it more efficient?

648
00:31:48,560 --> 00:31:51,400
Speaker 6: Because you know, sometimes the rush is not always perfect.

649
00:31:51,480 --> 00:31:54,800
Speaker 6: You know, sometimes protection is not perfect. Okay, let's work

650
00:31:54,840 --> 00:31:57,680
Speaker 6: on you know, a little bit of mechanics here, a

651
00:31:57,680 --> 00:32:01,200
Speaker 6: little bit of decision making here. And then it's nice

652
00:32:01,240 --> 00:32:03,680
Speaker 6: being in the second year of an offense and you know,

653
00:32:03,840 --> 00:32:06,840
Speaker 6: not starting on page one. You know, we go back

654
00:32:06,840 --> 00:32:09,320
Speaker 6: to the basics and and you know, we do go

655
00:32:09,440 --> 00:32:10,920
Speaker 6: to page one, but we can get through it a

656
00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:13,000
Speaker 6: lot faster than we were when we were all learning.

657
00:32:13,560 --> 00:32:16,080
Speaker 5: You know what a.

658
00:32:15,120 --> 00:32:17,239
Speaker 6: Blank route is, you know, whatever that is, whatever this

659
00:32:17,360 --> 00:32:21,120
Speaker 6: route is, we're teaching it and it's just reteaching ourselves.

660
00:32:21,160 --> 00:32:24,200
Speaker 6: And so okay, yeah, let's not watch other people do it.

661
00:32:24,240 --> 00:32:27,680
Speaker 6: Let's watch our own film and install our plays from

662
00:32:27,760 --> 00:32:28,719
Speaker 6: our own selves.

663
00:32:28,760 --> 00:32:29,680
Speaker 5: Doing it last year.

664
00:32:30,160 --> 00:32:33,080
Speaker 1: Okay, So I ask you a question based on knowledge

665
00:32:33,120 --> 00:32:34,720
Speaker 1: of the game, and especially the run game.

666
00:32:35,280 --> 00:32:35,920
Speaker 5: Quick stories.

667
00:32:36,080 --> 00:32:38,680
Speaker 1: Last year during a Tennessee game, I'm kind of looking

668
00:32:38,680 --> 00:32:41,400
Speaker 1: at Tennessee's defense. I look over and I don't see you.

669
00:32:41,440 --> 00:32:43,120
Speaker 1: I'm like, where the hell the case go? Where do

670
00:32:43,160 --> 00:32:45,120
Speaker 1: you go? And then I realized you were in between

671
00:32:45,920 --> 00:32:47,840
Speaker 1: LT and whoever was at guard at that point. You

672
00:32:47,880 --> 00:32:50,120
Speaker 1: were talking to them, and I thought, okay, And then

673
00:32:50,360 --> 00:32:52,240
Speaker 1: you went to a run play. I think you checked

674
00:32:52,240 --> 00:32:53,560
Speaker 1: to a run play on that one. Maybe you didn't.

675
00:32:53,560 --> 00:32:55,240
Speaker 1: It was a run play. You were over there talking

676
00:32:55,280 --> 00:32:57,840
Speaker 1: to them. It got me thinking about knowledge because you've

677
00:32:57,880 --> 00:32:59,920
Speaker 1: been in a passing game forever. You understand a passing

678
00:33:00,240 --> 00:33:02,240
Speaker 1: When did your knowledge of the run game it went

679
00:33:02,320 --> 00:33:05,080
Speaker 1: to check to certain things in the run game really

680
00:33:05,080 --> 00:33:05,720
Speaker 1: developed for you.

681
00:33:06,800 --> 00:33:10,959
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's evolved in different offenses. Uh, there's there's obviously

682
00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:15,800
Speaker 6: a lot of philosophies running the football, different different schemes

683
00:33:15,840 --> 00:33:17,200
Speaker 6: that the teams like to run.

684
00:33:17,240 --> 00:33:18,400
Speaker 5: And I've been in quite a few.

685
00:33:19,920 --> 00:33:22,360
Speaker 6: You know, I like this offense in this I prefer

686
00:33:22,440 --> 00:33:26,560
Speaker 6: this scheme, and having some experience in it was you know,

687
00:33:26,600 --> 00:33:29,120
Speaker 6: we don't do a lot of mic points in at quarterback,

688
00:33:29,200 --> 00:33:32,600
Speaker 6: we affirm kind of what the center's doing. So in

689
00:33:32,640 --> 00:33:34,720
Speaker 6: that instance, I think they were showing us a little

690
00:33:34,720 --> 00:33:38,480
Speaker 6: bit of a different defense that we hadn't really thought

691
00:33:38,480 --> 00:33:40,560
Speaker 6: we were going to get into this certain play, and

692
00:33:40,600 --> 00:33:42,960
Speaker 6: so we had to you know, push the mic point

693
00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:45,080
Speaker 6: a little bit further out and than we normally did.

694
00:33:45,760 --> 00:33:45,880
Speaker 1: Uh.

695
00:33:46,080 --> 00:33:47,840
Speaker 6: Luckily everybody was you know, we were able to get

696
00:33:47,880 --> 00:33:50,640
Speaker 6: everybody on the same page and it worked.

697
00:33:50,400 --> 00:33:52,160
Speaker 5: Out for a pretty big play on a pretty big drive.

698
00:33:52,360 --> 00:33:56,040
Speaker 3: Yes, we had so many mind blowing games last year case,

699
00:33:56,160 --> 00:33:59,520
Speaker 3: but I'll never forget the Texans going up to Nashville

700
00:33:59,640 --> 00:34:03,840
Speaker 3: and eating the former Oilers and you quarterbacking that game.

701
00:34:04,280 --> 00:34:06,320
Speaker 3: That's gotta be one you'll always take with you no

702
00:34:06,360 --> 00:34:07,560
Speaker 3: matter what you do in your career.

703
00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:11,680
Speaker 5: There's no doubt, you know. And I enjoyed that week.

704
00:34:11,800 --> 00:34:16,759
Speaker 6: I enjoyed getting to play, uh, to strap on the

705
00:34:16,760 --> 00:34:19,319
Speaker 6: the Texans helmet again and to go, you know, play

706
00:34:19,360 --> 00:34:22,520
Speaker 6: some snaps that really mattered. I don't know if I

707
00:34:22,600 --> 00:34:26,880
Speaker 6: really understood some of the gravity of that moment till

708
00:34:27,320 --> 00:34:29,040
Speaker 6: after the season, and what it meant to get to

709
00:34:29,040 --> 00:34:32,800
Speaker 6: the playoffs, what it meant to so many Houstonians seeing

710
00:34:32,840 --> 00:34:38,239
Speaker 6: those those baby blue jerseys on the other sideline side. Note,

711
00:34:38,280 --> 00:34:43,319
Speaker 6: I love that you have h is just rolling right, so, uh,

712
00:34:43,880 --> 00:34:45,800
Speaker 6: you know, I love you blue there. But man, I

713
00:34:46,040 --> 00:34:49,799
Speaker 6: I uh, I don't know. I think this whole offseason

714
00:34:49,840 --> 00:34:52,240
Speaker 6: and and running into people and talking about that game,

715
00:34:52,680 --> 00:34:54,840
Speaker 6: it's been really special to me being around town and

716
00:34:55,320 --> 00:34:59,080
Speaker 6: seeing the feedback I've gotten from Texans fans. Uh and

717
00:34:59,239 --> 00:35:01,759
Speaker 6: you know, just my and family, that everybody that watched

718
00:35:01,760 --> 00:35:03,560
Speaker 6: that game got to be a part of it was

719
00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:04,680
Speaker 6: really special.

720
00:35:05,160 --> 00:35:05,399
Speaker 5: Case.

721
00:35:05,440 --> 00:35:09,000
Speaker 1: When did you realize last year's team had something a

722
00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:11,359
Speaker 1: little different? Obviously you weren't here in twenty one, twenty two,

723
00:35:11,960 --> 00:35:14,080
Speaker 1: but you've been around some teams that have done some things,

724
00:35:14,120 --> 00:35:16,360
Speaker 1: gone to playoffs, done some of that. When did you

725
00:35:16,440 --> 00:35:18,800
Speaker 1: know that last year's team had a little something maybe

726
00:35:18,920 --> 00:35:23,000
Speaker 1: different than what previous iterations of the Texans did, and

727
00:35:23,080 --> 00:35:25,000
Speaker 1: that you guys could make a playoff run.

728
00:35:25,640 --> 00:35:30,240
Speaker 6: And it's so hard to point to a moment, especially

729
00:35:30,280 --> 00:35:32,000
Speaker 6: just pulling it off the top of my head. We're

730
00:35:32,040 --> 00:35:34,480
Speaker 6: watching cutups right now, so we're watching a lot of

731
00:35:34,640 --> 00:35:38,359
Speaker 6: ball from last year. Yeah, and man, there was some

732
00:35:38,440 --> 00:35:42,840
Speaker 6: really good offensive stuff that we put on tape. Seven

733
00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:48,640
Speaker 6: played some absolutely astounding football. It's really fun to watch

734
00:35:48,640 --> 00:35:53,040
Speaker 6: that kid play football, play quarterback. I think it just

735
00:35:53,040 --> 00:35:57,040
Speaker 6: just kind of as as it grew. You know, you

736
00:35:57,080 --> 00:36:02,680
Speaker 6: saw early in Jacksonville just some flash, and then just

737
00:36:02,719 --> 00:36:06,400
Speaker 6: throughout the year just I mean every game was just

738
00:36:06,640 --> 00:36:10,400
Speaker 6: scratching and clawing and fighting to win the game, and

739
00:36:11,239 --> 00:36:14,160
Speaker 6: any one of those games could have gone either way.

740
00:36:14,280 --> 00:36:16,600
Speaker 6: You know, there were so many one possession, one play

741
00:36:16,719 --> 00:36:21,600
Speaker 6: games that you know, it's just we just gave ourselves

742
00:36:21,640 --> 00:36:24,120
Speaker 6: a chance. At the end of the day, like we

743
00:36:24,120 --> 00:36:26,400
Speaker 6: we gave ourselves a chance to win, win a game,

744
00:36:26,560 --> 00:36:29,040
Speaker 6: and we do it, you know, and then do it

745
00:36:29,040 --> 00:36:31,680
Speaker 6: again the next week, and we won more than we lost,

746
00:36:31,719 --> 00:36:33,880
Speaker 6: and we gave ourselves a chance to get into the playoffs,

747
00:36:34,640 --> 00:36:35,759
Speaker 6: went up to Indian did it?

748
00:36:35,920 --> 00:36:36,120
Speaker 5: You know?

749
00:36:36,320 --> 00:36:40,920
Speaker 6: CJ made some incredible plays, Nico. I mean across the board,

750
00:36:41,600 --> 00:36:45,960
Speaker 6: there were incredible plays. And I'm obviously offensive minded and

751
00:36:46,040 --> 00:36:48,000
Speaker 6: little jad because we're watching a lot of that film,

752
00:36:48,000 --> 00:36:49,120
Speaker 6: but I know there were some.

753
00:36:49,160 --> 00:36:50,919
Speaker 5: Huge plays on the other side too. Yeah.

754
00:36:51,800 --> 00:36:53,680
Speaker 6: Right now, we're just competing against the defense. I don't

755
00:36:53,680 --> 00:36:56,360
Speaker 6: want to give any credit, of course, but that's the

756
00:36:56,520 --> 00:36:59,080
Speaker 6: that's the off season mode. When we're going against the

757
00:36:59,080 --> 00:37:01,879
Speaker 6: the uh you know, the Texans right now.

758
00:37:01,920 --> 00:37:03,720
Speaker 5: But I mean there were so many cool moments.

759
00:37:03,920 --> 00:37:07,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, you're going to a former workplace this year, Minnesota,

760
00:37:08,280 --> 00:37:10,000
Speaker 3: and you happen to make the greatest play in the

761
00:37:10,040 --> 00:37:13,320
Speaker 3: history of that franchise. It's been voted that. And Stefan

762
00:37:13,400 --> 00:37:15,040
Speaker 3: Diggs was on the other end of that play and

763
00:37:15,080 --> 00:37:16,800
Speaker 3: he's here. Now, what about him and the rest of

764
00:37:16,840 --> 00:37:18,719
Speaker 3: the pass catchers because you have a lot of good

765
00:37:18,719 --> 00:37:20,719
Speaker 3: guys back you have some new guys as well.

766
00:37:21,160 --> 00:37:21,719
Speaker 5: Yeah, we do.

767
00:37:22,239 --> 00:37:24,839
Speaker 6: I mean you look across the board and there's there's

768
00:37:24,920 --> 00:37:28,759
Speaker 6: some really good bass catchers and some out of the backfield.

769
00:37:28,880 --> 00:37:31,359
Speaker 6: You know that we got to add too. So I

770
00:37:31,440 --> 00:37:34,840
Speaker 6: love our offensive weapons right now. I think those guys

771
00:37:35,360 --> 00:37:36,480
Speaker 6: getting on the same page.

772
00:37:36,600 --> 00:37:39,360
Speaker 5: Obviously. I have a lot of history with Steph.

773
00:37:39,640 --> 00:37:42,600
Speaker 6: This will be my third team now I've played with him,

774
00:37:43,040 --> 00:37:45,280
Speaker 6: and man, he's gonna fit in this offense so well.

775
00:37:45,400 --> 00:37:48,440
Speaker 6: Such an explosive guy you can count on to win

776
00:37:48,840 --> 00:37:52,360
Speaker 6: just about in any situation. And with this offense, with

777
00:37:52,400 --> 00:37:56,480
Speaker 6: the aggressiveness of CJ, the offensive line and the play caller,

778
00:37:56,560 --> 00:38:01,920
Speaker 6: play designer, you know, Okay, let's look over here, Nico. Okay,

779
00:38:02,040 --> 00:38:04,960
Speaker 6: let's look over here. Okay, Well there's Steph. Oh well, okay,

780
00:38:05,000 --> 00:38:07,160
Speaker 6: there's Tank in the slot. All right, there's Dalton. Okay,

781
00:38:07,160 --> 00:38:09,400
Speaker 6: we'll get I mean, it's a lot of really good,

782
00:38:10,880 --> 00:38:14,680
Speaker 6: you know, talented guys who can make stuff happen. And

783
00:38:14,760 --> 00:38:16,720
Speaker 6: I think we're all we're all here for one reason,

784
00:38:16,960 --> 00:38:18,960
Speaker 6: and I think we all know what it is. We're

785
00:38:19,000 --> 00:38:21,960
Speaker 6: all working extremely hard. I love what I'm seeing and

786
00:38:22,040 --> 00:38:24,040
Speaker 6: I'm excited to be a Texan case.

787
00:38:24,080 --> 00:38:26,600
Speaker 1: It felt like we're close enough to you guys, but

788
00:38:26,640 --> 00:38:29,000
Speaker 1: we're not in locker room every day. But we felt

789
00:38:29,000 --> 00:38:30,440
Speaker 1: like as we saw you guys, that there was a

790
00:38:30,520 --> 00:38:34,520
Speaker 1: level of camaraderie at seemingly every position. You guys seem

791
00:38:34,560 --> 00:38:36,560
Speaker 1: to have that with the quarterbacks, you guys go and

792
00:38:36,640 --> 00:38:38,520
Speaker 1: have your dinners or whatever you guys were able to do.

793
00:38:38,560 --> 00:38:40,360
Speaker 1: But it felt like last year's team had kind of

794
00:38:40,360 --> 00:38:43,840
Speaker 1: a kind of a special camaraderie and that seemingly helped

795
00:38:43,840 --> 00:38:46,000
Speaker 1: you guys in those tough situations. Is that the way

796
00:38:46,040 --> 00:38:47,359
Speaker 1: you look at it is this team have a little

797
00:38:47,400 --> 00:38:49,799
Speaker 1: bit of different sort of camaraderie in togetherness.

798
00:38:49,840 --> 00:38:53,560
Speaker 6: There's no doubt all the best teams I've been on. Man,

799
00:38:53,960 --> 00:38:57,279
Speaker 6: they really loved each other. We may not always like

800
00:38:57,360 --> 00:38:59,640
Speaker 6: each other. I think we like each other most of

801
00:38:59,680 --> 00:39:03,480
Speaker 6: the time here, but man, there's so much love and

802
00:39:03,560 --> 00:39:10,560
Speaker 6: respect on this team, across offense, defense, across position rooms,

803
00:39:10,640 --> 00:39:15,759
Speaker 6: across backgrounds, you know, racist religions. I really That's why

804
00:39:15,800 --> 00:39:18,400
Speaker 6: I love locker rooms in general, but this one in particular.

805
00:39:19,320 --> 00:39:20,839
Speaker 6: There's a lot of guys that care about each other

806
00:39:20,880 --> 00:39:23,799
Speaker 6: and want each other to succeed, want each other to

807
00:39:23,800 --> 00:39:26,640
Speaker 6: be better, and yeah, we like hanging out with each other.

808
00:39:26,680 --> 00:39:30,040
Speaker 6: So I think quarterbacks, we have a really good rapport

809
00:39:30,080 --> 00:39:35,200
Speaker 6: in there. We've built we built a good reputation of accountability, competition,

810
00:39:36,680 --> 00:39:38,759
Speaker 6: you know, and just honesty in that room. I think,

811
00:39:38,960 --> 00:39:41,760
Speaker 6: you know, all of those things are crucial and important

812
00:39:41,800 --> 00:39:44,000
Speaker 6: to a quarterback room. So you know, I think we

813
00:39:44,000 --> 00:39:46,759
Speaker 6: can just keep continue to build on, you know, the

814
00:39:46,760 --> 00:39:49,120
Speaker 6: the foundation we set last year.

815
00:39:49,440 --> 00:39:51,719
Speaker 7: Case, tell us about your camp June twelfth at U

816
00:39:51,800 --> 00:39:52,719

818

Speaker 6: fourteen years I've been working with him. He has basically

823
00:40:12,520 --> 00:40:15,200
Speaker 6: put me back together in the off seasons and shipped

824
00:40:15,239 --> 00:40:17,040
Speaker 6: me back out to whatever team I've been on. So

825
00:40:17,040 --> 00:40:18,799
Speaker 6: I've come back to Houston and worked out with him.

826
00:40:19,160 --> 00:40:23,439
Speaker 6: It'll be at his facility June twelfth. You know, I'm

827
00:40:23,520 --> 00:40:26,800
Speaker 6: still obviously very involved with you of h and those guys.

828
00:40:26,840 --> 00:40:28,799
Speaker 6: I'm gonna try to get some of those quarterbacks down

829
00:40:28,800 --> 00:40:31,480
Speaker 6: to come work with us. But it's June twelfth. You

830
00:40:31,480 --> 00:40:34,520

831
00:40:34,520 --> 00:40:35,560
Speaker 7: That is easy stuff.

832
00:40:35,600 --> 00:40:35,839
Speaker 2: All right.

833
00:40:35,880 --> 00:40:36,840
Speaker 4: One more for you.

834
00:40:36,840 --> 00:40:39,520
Speaker 3: You're still the all time leading passer in NCAA history.

835
00:40:39,520 --> 00:40:41,240
Speaker 3: I think it's a record that will never be broken.

836
00:40:41,320 --> 00:40:44,839
Speaker 3: It's gonna be very tough. But two players snuck into

837
00:40:44,880 --> 00:40:49,400
Speaker 3: the top six this past season. Can you name them?

838
00:40:49,840 --> 00:40:52,600
Speaker 3: Do you know who's snuck in at fifth and sixth?

839
00:40:53,040 --> 00:40:54,640
Speaker 3: And one of them was drafted pretty high?

840
00:40:56,160 --> 00:40:57,480
Speaker 5: Well, oh, I know one.

841
00:40:58,719 --> 00:41:00,560
Speaker 7: See Johnny didn't know this right off the bat, but

842
00:41:00,600 --> 00:41:01,560
Speaker 7: now he's thinking about Yeah.

843
00:41:01,560 --> 00:41:03,879
Speaker 6: The thing is is you gotta you gotta be able

844
00:41:03,920 --> 00:41:07,880
Speaker 6: to have played Uh yes, that right? Three or four seasons.

845
00:41:08,200 --> 00:41:11,640
Speaker 6: Uh more than did the Drake kid play? How many

846
00:41:11,640 --> 00:41:12,520
Speaker 6: seasons did he played?

847
00:41:12,560 --> 00:41:13,000
Speaker 5: He played?

848
00:41:13,400 --> 00:41:14,320
Speaker 2: He started twice.

849
00:41:14,480 --> 00:41:17,360
Speaker 3: I've got both knicks at six. Oh yeah, both played

850
00:41:17,440 --> 00:41:18,560
Speaker 3: because he played one thousand.

851
00:41:18,960 --> 00:41:19,960
Speaker 2: You're along the right lines.

852
00:41:20,160 --> 00:41:21,680
Speaker 1: You have to play a lot of games, you have

853
00:41:21,760 --> 00:41:23,120
Speaker 1: to play a lot of years, and you had to

854
00:41:23,160 --> 00:41:24,280
Speaker 1: play in a prolific offense.

855
00:41:24,320 --> 00:41:26,200
Speaker 2: And he played his last game here at Energy Stadium.

856
00:41:26,360 --> 00:41:27,440
Speaker 5: Yeah, I couldn't tell you.

857
00:41:27,960 --> 00:41:31,799
Speaker 7: Michael who No, Sam Hartman, Oh well, kind of fits.

858
00:41:31,840 --> 00:41:36,160
Speaker 3: I was thinking Penis way off. I was thinking Penis Case.

859
00:41:36,200 --> 00:41:37,920
Speaker 3: Thanks a lot for joining us. Good the camp at

860
00:41:37,920 --> 00:41:39,440
Speaker 3: everything else, all right, make.

861
00:41:39,320 --> 00:41:42,320
Speaker 1: Sure you sign up for Cases football camp if you

862
00:41:42,400 --> 00:41:45,040
Speaker 1: got a little one interested in playing the game, learning

863
00:41:45,320 --> 00:41:50,360
Speaker 1: from a truly truly great professional, great man, great coach,

864
00:41:50,440 --> 00:41:54,719
Speaker 1: great dude. Case Keenum is your guy now. Case used

865
00:41:54,719 --> 00:41:59,160
Speaker 1: to play for the Minnesota Vikings. He did not ever

866
00:41:59,200 --> 00:42:02,920
Speaker 1: get the throw at Jefferson. JJ McCarthy is the new

867
00:42:03,000 --> 00:42:07,240
Speaker 1: Vikings quarterback. Is he gonna throw a justin Jefferson? Well,

868
00:42:07,360 --> 00:42:10,120
Speaker 1: there are some rumors that lead you to believe it

869
00:42:10,200 --> 00:42:13,120
Speaker 1: might not happen. That's next on Texans All Access. We

870
00:42:13,239 --> 00:42:15,520
Speaker 1: go on final segment of this money edition to Texans.

871
00:42:15,600 --> 00:42:19,200
Speaker 1: All Access finished up my fifth hour of radio. Appreciate

872
00:42:19,239 --> 00:42:21,640
Speaker 1: you guys being here for all of it, because I

873
00:42:21,719 --> 00:42:24,200
Speaker 1: know that's what you were here for. So appreciate Mark

874
00:42:24,840 --> 00:42:27,480
Speaker 1: for joining me a little earlier, be Scott for being

875
00:42:27,480 --> 00:42:29,920
Speaker 1: with me from two to six. So appreciate all of

876
00:42:29,920 --> 00:42:32,399
Speaker 1: you guys for hanging on a Memorial Day. And as

877
00:42:32,400 --> 00:42:35,239
Speaker 1: we said earlier, it's such an important day. I loved

878
00:42:35,239 --> 00:42:38,319
Speaker 1: how Mark broke down why it's so important to him

879
00:42:38,360 --> 00:42:44,360
Speaker 1: and the fact that Mark essentially exists because of American soldiers,

880
00:42:44,440 --> 00:42:49,000
Speaker 1: American military and what sacrifices they made for people, not

881
00:42:49,040 --> 00:42:51,040
Speaker 1: only in the United States, but in Mark's case and

882
00:42:51,080 --> 00:42:56,319
Speaker 1: Holland and the Netherlands. So great day all around. Give

883
00:42:56,600 --> 00:43:00,640
Speaker 1: thanks and praise to those who served for this in

884
00:43:00,680 --> 00:43:04,360
Speaker 1: the many, many wars that we have had throughout our lifetime.

885
00:43:04,440 --> 00:43:06,879
Speaker 1: So to all of you out there, a salou thank

886
00:43:06,920 --> 00:43:08,080
Speaker 1: you very very much.

887
00:43:08,160 --> 00:43:09,920
Speaker 2: All right, let's move on.

888
00:43:10,120 --> 00:43:14,520
Speaker 1: As we mentioned earlier, we talked about Justin Jefferson, and

889
00:43:15,520 --> 00:43:21,640
Speaker 1: Justin Jefferson was nearly traded. So this came from the

890
00:43:21,840 --> 00:43:26,600
Speaker 1: Minneapolis Pioneer Press. Now, there had been some rumors, people

891
00:43:26,640 --> 00:43:29,000
Speaker 1: had heard some things in fact, Mike Florio from Pro

892
00:43:29,040 --> 00:43:32,440
Speaker 1: Football Talk had actually he put out a tweet saying,

893
00:43:32,920 --> 00:43:36,920
Speaker 1: we had heard some things on Draft night, but we

894
00:43:37,120 --> 00:43:40,120
Speaker 1: didn't know what was real or not, and so we

895
00:43:40,239 --> 00:43:41,360
Speaker 1: buried it essentially.

896
00:43:42,080 --> 00:43:45,160
Speaker 2: And then he said, but it was actually true.

897
00:43:45,400 --> 00:43:49,680
Speaker 1: So this came from the Pioneer Press, the Vikings, and

898
00:43:49,760 --> 00:43:50,479
Speaker 1: there was a lot of talk.

899
00:43:50,520 --> 00:43:52,719
Speaker 2: In fact, I had mentioned it.

900
00:43:53,200 --> 00:43:55,160
Speaker 1: I had the Vikings in my mock trading up to

901
00:43:55,160 --> 00:43:57,280
Speaker 1: go get a quarterback, going get JJ McCarthy.

902
00:43:57,360 --> 00:44:00,959
Speaker 2: That was something that they really wanted to be able

903
00:44:01,000 --> 00:44:01,200
Speaker 2: to do.

904
00:44:02,560 --> 00:44:08,919
Speaker 1: But they apparently wanted to trade up to go get

905
00:44:09,000 --> 00:44:13,600
Speaker 1: Molik neighbors. This is by the New York Post talking

906
00:44:13,640 --> 00:44:17,200
Speaker 1: about this, or discussing this, or coming from the Pioneer Press.

907
00:44:17,239 --> 00:44:19,440
Speaker 1: The Post wrote about this because it involves the Giants,

908
00:44:19,440 --> 00:44:22,040
Speaker 1: because the Giants ended up with Eliite neighbors. The bus

909
00:44:22,080 --> 00:44:24,600
Speaker 1: around the Vikings last month was that they could move

910
00:44:24,680 --> 00:44:31,760
Speaker 1: up six spots number five overall take neighbors.

911
00:44:29,800 --> 00:44:32,040
Speaker 2: In doing trade Jefferson.

912
00:44:32,040 --> 00:44:34,640
Speaker 1: Now it doesn't say trade Jefferson to the Chargers, but

913
00:44:34,719 --> 00:44:38,759
Speaker 1: it just says trade Jefferson. So I guess the thought being,

914
00:44:38,800 --> 00:44:40,560
Speaker 1: you're gonna give a draft capital to move up with

915
00:44:40,600 --> 00:44:42,839
Speaker 1: the Chargers. Now, I don't know if the Chargers would

916
00:44:42,840 --> 00:44:45,000
Speaker 1: have taken Justin Jefferson if they would have wanted to,

917
00:44:45,040 --> 00:44:47,640
Speaker 1: after giving up a lot of money in the offseason.

918
00:44:47,719 --> 00:44:50,520
Speaker 1: They had to get rid of Keenan Allen, they had

919
00:44:50,520 --> 00:44:52,640
Speaker 1: to get rid of Mike Williams. Those guys were I

920
00:44:52,680 --> 00:44:54,880
Speaker 1: think thirty million dollar cap hits each.

921
00:44:55,040 --> 00:44:56,120
Speaker 2: So they got rid of both of them.

922
00:44:56,160 --> 00:44:57,719
Speaker 1: So I don't know if it's the Chargers that would

923
00:44:57,719 --> 00:45:00,600
Speaker 1: have traded for Justin Jefferson, I don't know, But the

924
00:45:00,719 --> 00:45:05,960
Speaker 1: Vikings would have traded Jefferson after making the move to

925
00:45:06,080 --> 00:45:10,120
Speaker 1: number five to go get elite neighbors, so they would

926
00:45:10,120 --> 00:45:14,000
Speaker 1: have completely changed the draft at that point. The Giants

927
00:45:14,640 --> 00:45:17,320
Speaker 1: at that point would have maybe taken Rome with Dunsay.

928
00:45:17,800 --> 00:45:18,319
Speaker 2: Hard to say.

929
00:45:18,320 --> 00:45:20,120
Speaker 1: Where were JJ McCarthy if, for one with the Giants

930
00:45:20,120 --> 00:45:24,440
Speaker 1: had taken JJ McCarthy. Now, like I said, it's not

931
00:45:24,600 --> 00:45:27,640
Speaker 1: stated that Jefferson would have been traded to the Chargers,

932
00:45:27,680 --> 00:45:30,400
Speaker 1: but they that was the move they were looking to

933
00:45:30,440 --> 00:45:35,360
Speaker 1: trade with the Chargers. The Chargers ultimately said no and

934
00:45:35,440 --> 00:45:38,440
Speaker 1: decided to stick with their pick of Joe Ault. The

935
00:45:38,520 --> 00:45:42,600
Speaker 1: Vikings then stayed at eleven until they got to number

936
00:45:42,680 --> 00:45:45,120
Speaker 1: ten pick that was the Jets. They offered the Jets.

937
00:45:45,120 --> 00:45:46,919
Speaker 1: I think there were a couple of picks. They moved

938
00:45:46,960 --> 00:45:49,960
Speaker 1: up one spot to ensure they could get JJ McCarthy.

939
00:45:49,840 --> 00:45:51,400
Speaker 2: And locked that in. They locked it in.

940
00:45:51,400 --> 00:45:53,439
Speaker 1: Then they went and got Dallas Turner picked seventeen after

941
00:45:53,440 --> 00:45:56,880
Speaker 1: a trade with the Jaguars. But Justin Jefferson is the

942
00:45:56,880 --> 00:46:00,360
Speaker 1: big one here because the Texans would have fit a

943
00:46:00,440 --> 00:46:04,000
Speaker 1: Vikings team with Jordan Addison and the league Neighbors, not

944
00:46:04,160 --> 00:46:07,200
Speaker 1: Jordan Addison and Justin Jefferson. Now, I think Leae Nighbors

945
00:46:07,320 --> 00:46:10,399
Speaker 1: is gonna be a fantastic football player. He's not Justin

946
00:46:10,480 --> 00:46:16,759
Speaker 1: Jefferson yet. But Justin Jefferson would have been moved somewhere.

947
00:46:16,840 --> 00:46:19,520
Speaker 1: Now Where that pick would have gone hard to say,

948
00:46:20,640 --> 00:46:23,960
Speaker 1: because as long as it was not the AFC South,

949
00:46:23,960 --> 00:46:24,960
Speaker 1: that would have been okay with it.

950
00:46:25,000 --> 00:46:26,320
Speaker 2: I think pretty much anywhere.

951
00:46:26,920 --> 00:46:29,640
Speaker 1: Maybe not Dallas, but at that point the Titans have

952
00:46:29,719 --> 00:46:31,640
Speaker 1: made the move for Calvin Ridley, so they had Ridley,

953
00:46:31,680 --> 00:46:32,880
Speaker 1: hop and Traylon Burks.

954
00:46:32,880 --> 00:46:34,600
Speaker 2: Then they signed Tyler Boyds. They're good.

955
00:46:34,880 --> 00:46:36,919
Speaker 1: The coach drafted ad and I Mitchell, I don't think

956
00:46:36,960 --> 00:46:40,560
Speaker 1: the Colts, especially after a re upping Michael Pittman.

957
00:46:40,680 --> 00:46:42,040
Speaker 2: I don't think they would have been in the mix

958
00:46:42,320 --> 00:46:42,800
Speaker 2: the Jags.

959
00:46:42,840 --> 00:46:44,640
Speaker 1: I don't know if the Jags have the money, especially

960
00:46:44,640 --> 00:46:46,600
Speaker 1: considering they've got to pay Trevor Lawrence coming up very

961
00:46:46,680 --> 00:46:48,640
Speaker 1: very soon. So I don't think Justin Jefferson would have

962
00:46:48,719 --> 00:46:52,400
Speaker 1: ended up in the AFC South, And that really is

963
00:46:53,280 --> 00:46:57,160
Speaker 1: probably the best part of the story at this particular moment.

964
00:46:57,280 --> 00:46:59,799
Speaker 1: So Justin Jefferson's still a Viking as of now. He's

965
00:46:59,840 --> 00:47:02,680
Speaker 1: not sign a contract, he's not signed as his uh,

966
00:47:02,719 --> 00:47:06,600
Speaker 1: he's not been back in camp, so he's not been

967
00:47:06,640 --> 00:47:08,759
Speaker 1: made the franchise tag player because.

968
00:47:08,480 --> 00:47:09,399
Speaker 2: He's not up for that yet.

969
00:47:09,400 --> 00:47:11,520
Speaker 1: They've got one more year before that, so we'll see

970
00:47:11,520 --> 00:47:13,960
Speaker 1: what happens with Justin Jeffers are gonna be very interesting

971
00:47:13,960 --> 00:47:15,400
Speaker 1: to watch in the Texans.

972
00:47:15,560 --> 00:47:18,239
Speaker 2: Remember play them very early in the season. They play

973
00:47:18,280 --> 00:47:20,600
Speaker 2: him in September. So I don't know.

974
00:47:20,760 --> 00:47:24,320
Speaker 1: Justin Jefferson gone hold out. We won't miss you. Definitely

975
00:47:24,360 --> 00:47:26,000
Speaker 1: won't miss you. Don't want to see you, to be

976
00:47:26,040 --> 00:47:27,560
Speaker 1: honest with you at that point.

977
00:47:27,640 --> 00:47:29,840
Speaker 2: So appreciate you guys for listening to the show today.
