1
00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:04,600
Speaker 1: Hello Texans, Welcome to the program here at NRG Stadium,

2
00:00:04,640 --> 00:00:07,600
Speaker 1: the Hundai Texans Radio Studio, where we have air conditioning

3
00:00:08,119 --> 00:00:09,920
Speaker 1: as opposed to the airport. But we don't have to

4
00:00:09,920 --> 00:00:12,840
Speaker 1: get into that right now, do we, Because air conditioning

5
00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:15,840
Speaker 1: one of the greatest inventions ever. Mark Vanderverin and John

6
00:00:15,880 --> 00:00:18,320
Speaker 1: Harris with you to talk about air conditioning tonight.

7
00:00:18,360 --> 00:00:19,840
Speaker 2: No, we're not.

8
00:00:20,280 --> 00:00:21,960
Speaker 3: We're not talking about air conditioning tonight.

9
00:00:22,079 --> 00:00:25,800
Speaker 1: Well, we were at practice today and with many people

10
00:00:26,200 --> 00:00:28,920
Speaker 1: and the subject Joe Sutton was there. We were talking

11
00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:32,400
Speaker 1: with him, many of our friends, Emily de Lecandro. We

12
00:00:32,479 --> 00:00:36,000
Speaker 1: saw missus McNair out there today, Janie. It was so

13
00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:40,080
Speaker 1: good to see her. She always makes my heart smile

14
00:00:40,479 --> 00:00:43,800
Speaker 1: when I see her, and that was wonderful. The McNair family,

15
00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:46,080
Speaker 1: the whole family was out there. It was great just

16
00:00:46,159 --> 00:00:48,800
Speaker 1: to see the team practice. A lot of business ops people.

17
00:00:49,159 --> 00:00:50,800
Speaker 1: This is the first time in the history of the

18
00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:55,600
Speaker 1: franchise that the entire business Op staff was invited out

19
00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:58,040
Speaker 1: to a practice this time of year. I guess training camp.

20
00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:01,000
Speaker 1: I'll never really invited. You know, you could show up.

21
00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:02,640
Speaker 1: I guess a lot of people are working, Yeah they're

22
00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:04,520
Speaker 1: not working, yeah, but This was special to be able

23
00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:07,080
Speaker 1: to go out there, no expectations, just go check out

24
00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:07,959
Speaker 1: practice and joy.

25
00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:09,160
Speaker 3: It was interesting.

26
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:12,320
Speaker 4: I was talking to a few of our fellow business

27
00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:15,520
Speaker 4: ops employees and they looked.

28
00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:17,679
Speaker 3: At me and they went, how do you do that

29
00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:18,240
Speaker 3: every day?

30
00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:25,000
Speaker 4: It's like, I know, man, it's hot, it's hot, but football,

31
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:27,440
Speaker 4: so there's a trade off.

32
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:28,560
Speaker 3: There's a trade off.

33
00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:31,920
Speaker 4: Would I rather have seventy degrees in no football or

34
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:34,760
Speaker 4: would I have ninety seven degrees and football.

35
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:37,160
Speaker 3: It's a pretty easy decision in all honesty.

36
00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:40,600
Speaker 1: You know what perfection would be hear me out Jacksonville

37
00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:43,560
Speaker 1: type pool at training camp. We could have a pool

38
00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:47,480
Speaker 1: right there. It wouldn't feel awkward at all to do

39
00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:51,600
Speaker 1: the show from the pool. In the pool while they're practicing.

40
00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:56,080
Speaker 1: We could have a little umbrella drink. Yeah, we would

41
00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:57,760
Speaker 1: not get any grief at all from the players.

42
00:01:57,800 --> 00:01:59,880
Speaker 3: I'm sure that would last all of about forty five

43
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:00,920
Speaker 3: minutes tops.

44
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:04,400
Speaker 1: You know who would have loved that, Bill O'Brien. Next topic,

45
00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:08,040
Speaker 1: so the air conditioning topic though, which is not really

46
00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:10,320
Speaker 1: a topic. I was kidding about that, but we were

47
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:12,840
Speaker 1: watching practice I think was with Joe Sutton, and I

48
00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:17,880
Speaker 1: said special teams, I give my usual special teams take,

49
00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:20,720
Speaker 1: which is this part of practice is not exciting to me.

50
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:23,679
Speaker 1: It's it's the concert with the classic rock band where

51
00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:26,240
Speaker 1: they performed material from their new album and you hit

52
00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:27,240
Speaker 1: the concession stand.

53
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:29,240
Speaker 2: But I said, you know, it's like a utility.

54
00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:33,360
Speaker 1: You need special teams, you need plumbing, but it's not

55
00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:38,000
Speaker 1: exciting to watch them install it. Right, Yeah, you need electricity,

56
00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:39,680
Speaker 1: but you know, I just I just want to be

57
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:43,119
Speaker 1: able to turn on the switch. Air conditioning, same thing,

58
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:45,200
Speaker 1: airport air conditioning.

59
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:47,200
Speaker 2: They need it. I know they're working on it. If

60
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:48,519
Speaker 2: it's not back already, Oh.

61
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:51,680
Speaker 4: Gosh, I hope to have it because Page Harris is

62
00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:54,440
Speaker 4: flying out on Wednesday. Now it's Wednesday night, so I

63
00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:56,960
Speaker 4: would say it cools off, but it doesn't really cool off.

64
00:02:57,280 --> 00:02:59,880
Speaker 4: You walk outside and you look at your phone, it's like, man,

65
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:02,200
Speaker 4: it feels cooler, but oh it's eighty eight.

66
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:04,200
Speaker 1: No at night, it's got to be at its worst

67
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:05,880
Speaker 1: in there because it's been building up all day.

68
00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:06,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, all nowhere to go.

69
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:07,880
Speaker 3: Oh ridiculous.

70
00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:09,680
Speaker 2: The fans work, I don't know, I don't.

71
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:11,480
Speaker 4: Know, but they better get them going, Okay, better get

72
00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:15,720
Speaker 4: them going so they can get people coolly out of

73
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:18,120
Speaker 4: that airport. I can oh, I can only imagine. Because

74
00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:20,200
Speaker 4: you know how I am. I like to be places early.

75
00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:23,840
Speaker 4: So I need to get the airport at least at

76
00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:27,960
Speaker 4: least three hours before so I can go through security

77
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:31,520
Speaker 4: and get you know, ready, and said, just you know,

78
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:34,120
Speaker 4: if I got to sit there, I know I'm there.

79
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:36,119
Speaker 4: I know I'm not messing with one of the variables

80
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:39,480
Speaker 4: of traffic or security or whatever. Three hours gives me

81
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:41,880
Speaker 4: plenty of time that I can go down there and look.

82
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:44,320
Speaker 4: If I got to break out my computer, you know,

83
00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:47,280
Speaker 4: watch some film or whatever right there, I'm good. I

84
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:50,560
Speaker 4: panic if I'm not there at that point. So I

85
00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:52,040
Speaker 4: want to be there early. And if I've got no

86
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:55,840
Speaker 4: air conditioning, I yye yai, I don't want any part

87
00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:56,040
Speaker 4: of that.

88
00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:59,280
Speaker 1: No, of course I look for the deserted gate and

89
00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:02,560
Speaker 1: stay there. I'm early, but that does not really happen

90
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:05,160
Speaker 1: that often. All right, we'll get it to the practice nuances.

91
00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:08,600
Speaker 1: Top three things we observed from practice today. Mini camp

92
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:11,720
Speaker 1: underway for the Houston Texans. One more day scheduled and

93
00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:15,440
Speaker 1: then whila we are into the break between mini camp

94
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:19,400
Speaker 1: and training camp that I affectionately call the desert. But

95
00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:23,640
Speaker 1: JJ Watt getting into the Ring of Honor that was

96
00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:27,320
Speaker 1: announced yesterday. He held a zoom call press conference with

97
00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:30,080
Speaker 1: the media today and this is on our social media

98
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:33,760
Speaker 1: channels at Houston Texans. Talked about his excitement level of

99
00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:36,160
Speaker 1: being inducted into the Ring of Honor and basically coming

100
00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:37,400
Speaker 1: home to the city of Houston.

101
00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:39,680
Speaker 5: I mean, I'm mainly excited to get back in front

102
00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:42,440
Speaker 5: of the Houston fans. I mean, I absolutely love Houston.

103
00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:44,240
Speaker 5: I love the people. I love what we've built. I

104
00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:49,400
Speaker 5: love the camaraderie, the chemistry, the family that has really become.

105
00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:51,800
Speaker 5: I mean, I've said it so many times, but it

106
00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:54,160
Speaker 5: is the honest truth. Every single time I stepped foot

107
00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:56,800
Speaker 5: in the city of Houston, it feels like I'm surrounded

108
00:04:56,839 --> 00:05:00,320
Speaker 5: by my family and it's special for me. So to

109
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:03,520
Speaker 5: have my actual family there on that day. Were playing

110
00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:06,480
Speaker 5: against DJ and the Steelers will be great. I'm looking

111
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:07,919
Speaker 5: forward to it and I just I can't wait to

112
00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:09,039
Speaker 5: get back in front of that crowd.

113
00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:12,839
Speaker 1: What comes home. Pittsburgh Steelers in town, Johnny. Last time

114
00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:15,960
Speaker 1: the Steelers were here was twenty seventeen Christmas. They brought

115
00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:19,080
Speaker 1: some people with them. We've got to make sure. Yeah,

116
00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:23,120
Speaker 1: that it's not Steelers people. Although what will get respect

117
00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:27,000
Speaker 1: from whoever he's in front of. Demko talked about it

118
00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:30,120
Speaker 1: during its press conference today. His last career game was

119
00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:33,080
Speaker 1: at Levi Stadium and he got a standy ovation from

120
00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:35,760
Speaker 1: the forty nine Ers fans. Yes, so even the Steelers

121
00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:37,480
Speaker 1: fans at attendance, then there will be at least some

122
00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:41,480
Speaker 1: right on that day will applaud JJ Watt his brother's

123
00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:42,279
Speaker 1: play on the team.

124
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:43,680
Speaker 2: You know the rest of the story.

125
00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:47,480
Speaker 4: I have a good buddy of mine, and you know,

126
00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:49,880
Speaker 4: I was talking to him last Thursday or Friday, and

127
00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:52,000
Speaker 4: he was telling me about, you know, I just haven't

128
00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:54,240
Speaker 4: had the opportunity to get over the games. You know,

129
00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:56,240
Speaker 4: he's had season tickets from the beginning. You know, it's

130
00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:56,880
Speaker 4: been really hard.

131
00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:57,039
Speaker 6: You know.

132
00:05:57,040 --> 00:05:58,200
Speaker 3: He just kind of talked me through the whole thing.

133
00:05:58,240 --> 00:05:59,520
Speaker 3: I was like, I understand.

134
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:02,280
Speaker 4: When this was announced on Monday, I got a text

135
00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:04,800
Speaker 4: from him saying, well, I know exactly I'm going to

136
00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:07,839
Speaker 4: one game for sure, hopefully more, but one game for sure,

137
00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:09,560
Speaker 4: and that's the one. And so I would imagine there

138
00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:11,840
Speaker 4: are gonna be a lot of season ticket members that

139
00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:14,040
Speaker 4: are going to hold on to that ticket for sure,

140
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:16,599
Speaker 4: and gonna want to be there for that day against

141
00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:19,599
Speaker 4: the Steelers and make that environment. You know, I think

142
00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:22,120
Speaker 4: back to JJ's rookie year in twenty eleven. You know

143
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:24,240
Speaker 4: what that was like playing the Steelers that day. That

144
00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:29,279
Speaker 4: was humbold That was incredibly incredible, incredible football game. Twenty

145
00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:33,120
Speaker 4: seventeen not as much. But you know, this can be

146
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:35,200
Speaker 4: a great opportunity. I don't know how TJ will handle it.

147
00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:37,240
Speaker 4: I don't know if TJ will stay out there with

148
00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:38,800
Speaker 4: him to celebrate. I don't know how they're gonna do that.

149
00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:40,840
Speaker 4: It's gonna be interesting. But I do like the fact

150
00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:44,039
Speaker 4: that his parents can be there, the family can be

151
00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:46,760
Speaker 4: there and all celebrate, you know, kind of all together.

152
00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:49,039
Speaker 3: And then TJ leaves back to Pittsburgh with a loss.

153
00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:50,560
Speaker 3: That'd be really good. That would know, that would be

154
00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:51,160
Speaker 3: a great day.

155
00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:54,560
Speaker 1: Awesome way to look at it, Johnny and JJ was

156
00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:56,800
Speaker 1: asked about, Hey, what do you think of the Texans

157
00:06:56,800 --> 00:07:00,159
Speaker 1: now coached by your former teammate Damiko Ryans.

158
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:02,520
Speaker 5: Since in an incredibly exciting position right now, and I

159
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:04,760
Speaker 5: think that if you look at everything that's transpired this

160
00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:09,400
Speaker 5: off season in particular, it really signifies the vision and

161
00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:11,760
Speaker 5: the plans for where this organization wants to.

162
00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:12,680
Speaker 2: Go and where it can go.

163
00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:15,640
Speaker 5: I mean, you hired Demiko Ryans, who and obviously, in

164
00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:18,600
Speaker 5: my opinion, is an absolute home run higher in terms

165
00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:23,480
Speaker 5: of his knowledge, his wisdom, his energy is experience, and

166
00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:26,880
Speaker 5: then also being a legend, being a Houston legend, who

167
00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:28,960
Speaker 5: he is and what he brings from a leadership standpoint,

168
00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:30,520
Speaker 5: And then you go out in the draft and you

169
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:33,080
Speaker 5: really show people that you're serious and you're trying to

170
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:35,640
Speaker 5: make incredible moves right now to make this thing go

171
00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:38,440
Speaker 5: for the next however, many years with CJ and Will,

172
00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:41,920
Speaker 5: I just I feel like things are really in a

173
00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:44,200
Speaker 5: good place right now, and I think there's an exciting future.

174
00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:47,960
Speaker 5: I think there's absolutely going to be some adversity along

175
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:50,120
Speaker 5: the way. It's not going to be a smooth, easy transition.

176
00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:53,000
Speaker 5: But I think you give Demico the proper time, You

177
00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:55,680
Speaker 5: give him the proper leeway to be able to do

178
00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:57,360
Speaker 5: what he needs to do and build this thing the

179
00:07:57,440 --> 00:07:59,760
Speaker 5: right way over time. And I think in a few

180
00:07:59,840 --> 00:08:02,240
Speaker 5: years we're gonna look back at this offseason and say

181
00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:04,160
Speaker 5: that was a really, really good one for the Texans.

182
00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:06,880
Speaker 1: Well, Johnny, you and I interviewed twenty seven players yesterday

183
00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:09,640
Speaker 1: for Texans Media Day, and they share that sentiment. They

184
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:11,720
Speaker 1: work in the building, but they feel the excitement, they

185
00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:15,280
Speaker 1: feel the vibe everything JJ is talking about that. Yeah,

186
00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:17,280
Speaker 1: it's a process, but they feel like they're a lot

187
00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:19,800
Speaker 1: better the ones who were here last year, a year before, whatever.

188
00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:23,200
Speaker 1: They feel like they're a lot better right now, way ahead,

189
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:27,200
Speaker 1: right now from where they were a year ago, two

190
00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:31,520
Speaker 1: years ago. I think it's true it's palpable, but we

191
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:34,920
Speaker 1: won't know until we see them go up against competition.

192
00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:37,720
Speaker 1: Camp will begin soon enough, late July, and then we'll

193
00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:40,960
Speaker 1: have the first preseason game with the Patriots, joint practices

194
00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:43,480
Speaker 1: with the Dolphins. That three week, two and a half

195
00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:45,880
Speaker 1: week period is going to be wild and a great

196
00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:47,920
Speaker 1: measuring stick for where this team is.

197
00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:49,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's no question.

198
00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:52,319
Speaker 4: I mean it's interesting kind of talking to some of

199
00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:54,040
Speaker 4: the business shops people like you said, they're not out

200
00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:56,679
Speaker 4: there every day, but they saw the team last year.

201
00:08:56,720 --> 00:08:58,680
Speaker 4: It's really the first time they're getting a chance to

202
00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:00,000
Speaker 4: see the team and a few of them are like,

203
00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:04,120
Speaker 4: that looks different, and I mean they would.

204
00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:04,560
Speaker 3: Say in a good way.

205
00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:07,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, And I think that's that's really something to take

206
00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:11,120
Speaker 4: out of you know, this entire offseason today is that

207
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:13,680
Speaker 4: it looks different. You look out there and you see

208
00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:17,120
Speaker 4: ninety seven San Ridgeway and you're like, whoa, Oh, that

209
00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:19,800
Speaker 4: guy's that guy's a unit. Then you look across and

210
00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:22,559
Speaker 4: there's Sheldon Rankins. Now Sheldon's a little bit shorter, but man,

211
00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:25,640
Speaker 4: you look at the calves and the thighs and the

212
00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:27,440
Speaker 4: size of that guy and you're like, well, we just

213
00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:29,960
Speaker 4: didn't have that last year. You know, those are players

214
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:31,719
Speaker 4: we didn't have. And then you see the maturity of

215
00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:34,280
Speaker 4: other players. You see Jaalen Petri and we're gonna talk

216
00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:37,280
Speaker 4: about here in a second. You see just the growth

217
00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:40,440
Speaker 4: and how much he's kind of stepped forward as as

218
00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:43,360
Speaker 4: a leader. Christian Harris DP had a chance catch up

219
00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:45,200
Speaker 4: with him. So what Christian Harris on the air at

220
00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:47,800
Speaker 4: some point throughout this week. He was fantastic, you know,

221
00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:50,439
Speaker 4: talking to the podium too, and Tamika Ryan's talking about him,

222
00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:52,439
Speaker 4: and there's just there's a lot of new.

223
00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:55,640
Speaker 3: But I also think there's a lot of rejuvenated too.

224
00:09:56,600 --> 00:09:58,000
Speaker 4: The fact that there were some guys that were here

225
00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:00,040
Speaker 4: last year that you look at and go, Okay, I

226
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:02,520
Speaker 4: think this guy can be even better in this system.

227
00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:04,760
Speaker 3: I think this guy can be even better.

228
00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:06,680
Speaker 2: This year.

229
00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:09,040
Speaker 4: You know, it's his second year in Houston, and I

230
00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:10,559
Speaker 4: think there are a lot of players like that. And

231
00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:12,960
Speaker 4: the sentiment of a lot of guys as we talked

232
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:15,480
Speaker 4: to them yesterday, was Hey, I don't know. I don't

233
00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:17,640
Speaker 4: know if the outside world knows exactly what we've got,

234
00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:21,880
Speaker 4: and they're gonna find out. And obviously the outside world

235
00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:23,680
Speaker 4: is gonna be like, all right, we'll go win games,

236
00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:25,000
Speaker 4: right then we'll pay attention.

237
00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:27,400
Speaker 3: And I think that's got to be the thing. You know,

238
00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:28,360
Speaker 3: you can't go to Baltimore.

239
00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:30,400
Speaker 4: And also it's thirty eight to three and everybody's like, wow,

240
00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:32,520
Speaker 4: it's just the Texans from the last few years. Well,

241
00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:34,360
Speaker 4: you could change things pretty quickly with the game against

242
00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:36,160
Speaker 4: the Colts, but you want to come out and make

243
00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:40,319
Speaker 4: an impression against everybody, like you said, Patriots preseason game, practice,

244
00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:43,640
Speaker 4: this preseason game against Dolphins, practice, preseason game against the Saints.

245
00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:45,280
Speaker 4: And then all of a sudden, you get one of

246
00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:46,520
Speaker 4: the better teams in the league, with one of the

247
00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:49,120
Speaker 4: more dynamic quarterbacks, one of the one of the best

248
00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:51,800
Speaker 4: coach teams in the league, in their building where you've

249
00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:54,600
Speaker 4: never beat them, and you got to do it with

250
00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:58,480
Speaker 4: presumably a rookie quarterback, maybe a rookie center, maybe a

251
00:10:58,520 --> 00:10:59,400
Speaker 4: rookie wide receiver.

252
00:10:59,400 --> 00:10:59,880
Speaker 3: Who knows.

253
00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:01,600
Speaker 4: You got a lot going on, but you can really

254
00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:05,240
Speaker 4: make a statement throughout training camp. But you're not gonna

255
00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:06,800
Speaker 4: be able to make that statement unless you've had good

256
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:08,679
Speaker 4: OTAs in mini camp. And I feel like they've been

257
00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:10,800
Speaker 4: able to do that with one mini camp practice left.

258
00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:12,840
Speaker 2: You've said a lot there.

259
00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:15,400
Speaker 1: And the Baltimore game jumps out to me because he

260
00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:18,000
Speaker 1: said if they get blown out, it doesn't well, we'll

261
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:20,719
Speaker 1: see what it means. You're right, if you got blown out,

262
00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:22,319
Speaker 1: and I don't want to see them get blown out. Right,

263
00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:25,400
Speaker 1: we see them upset the Ravens, it'd be awesome. But

264
00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:28,520
Speaker 1: if they lost that game then bounce back against the Colts,

265
00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:31,440
Speaker 1: I think that two game swing has to be looked

266
00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:34,000
Speaker 1: at as one thing. Almost yeah, because we saw that

267
00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:37,320
Speaker 1: in twenty nineteen. They were demolished by the Ravens. And

268
00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:39,520
Speaker 1: this is one of the best Texans teams we've ever

269
00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:42,440
Speaker 1: seen in twenty nineteen. Now, the defense wasn't as good

270
00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:44,680
Speaker 1: as some of the other defenses we've seen here, but

271
00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:48,439
Speaker 1: the offense was good enough. You had a good quarterback.

272
00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:50,920
Speaker 1: You had a team that led twenty four to nothing

273
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:52,840
Speaker 1: in the divisional round. But we'll stay away from that

274
00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:55,920
Speaker 1: for now. But they got dismantled by the Ravens, then

275
00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:59,240
Speaker 1: come home and gut out a tough win at home

276
00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:02,200
Speaker 1: again the Indianapolis Colts a few days later on a

277
00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:05,200
Speaker 1: Thursday night. So if they did something like that this

278
00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:07,240
Speaker 1: year where you lose to the Ravens but bounce back

279
00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:10,439
Speaker 1: against the Colts, Okay, all right, fifty to fifty starts.

280
00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:12,920
Speaker 1: At least you beat a divisional team and you take

281
00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:15,080
Speaker 1: it from there, and that's all you can do, all right.

282
00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:18,520
Speaker 1: Top three takeaways from Mini camp so far?

283
00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:19,480
Speaker 2: Can I go? First?

284
00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:20,400
Speaker 3: Of course?

285
00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:22,400
Speaker 2: All right, here's my first one.

286
00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:27,600
Speaker 1: See seeing the guys we haven't seen right, seeing Laramie

287
00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:31,960
Speaker 1: out there with the ones, obviously, but seeing him out

288
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:34,400
Speaker 1: there with the offense and I'm looking, wait, who is that?

289
00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:37,880
Speaker 2: Shaquille Griffin is out there? That's very nice. I like that.

290
00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:39,640
Speaker 2: I'd like see Maleek out there.

291
00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:45,560
Speaker 1: You mentioned Rankins out there, impossible not to notice. Wonderful

292
00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:48,560
Speaker 1: to see those guys out there today. Denzel Paraman, we

293
00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:51,160
Speaker 1: saw him yesterday, we were interviewing him. Great to have

294
00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:53,480
Speaker 1: him around man the linebackers. That's another one, but I'll

295
00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:55,960
Speaker 1: save that for later. What's yours minus Jalen Petrie.

296
00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:58,240
Speaker 4: I read an article the other day, I think it

297
00:12:58,280 --> 00:12:59,960
Speaker 4: was PFF had an article and I was a top

298
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:02,440
Speaker 4: thirty two safeties and I was like, oh, I'm curious.

299
00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:05,320
Speaker 4: I'm curious to see where they put Petrie. And so

300
00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:06,760
Speaker 4: I look and I get down. I think it was

301
00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:12,720
Speaker 4: number fourteen Texans. Nice all right me, Ward, not jaallyn Petrie.

302
00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:16,360
Speaker 4: Jimmy Ward Like, oh cool, I think Jimmy's that kind

303
00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:18,440
Speaker 4: of plaied me. I'm really excited about what Jimmy Ward's

304
00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:20,440
Speaker 4: gonna do, Like all right Ward, that Petrie keep.

305
00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:23,679
Speaker 3: Going on the list, keep going down the list.

306
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:25,920
Speaker 4: All of a sudden, I get to the bottom, and

307
00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:28,160
Speaker 4: you know, it's the logo for PFF, as if it's

308
00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:31,120
Speaker 4: the end of the article. I'm like, what, No, Jalen

309
00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:33,120
Speaker 4: Petrie in the top thirty two safeties.

310
00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:33,120
Speaker 3: In the league.

311
00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:34,920
Speaker 4: And I think that's an I think that's an absolutely

312
00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:38,800
Speaker 4: massive mistake. But I think there were some things last

313
00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:42,280
Speaker 4: year that, you know, a grading service like PFF is

314
00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:45,960
Speaker 4: going to grade Jalen down because miss some tackles, miss

315
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:50,199
Speaker 4: some key tackles, and his number of mistackles as they

316
00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:52,400
Speaker 4: would have had it is a pretty high number. However,

317
00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:55,880
Speaker 4: what we found in Jalen Petrie last year was a

318
00:13:55,920 --> 00:14:00,800
Speaker 4: foundation piece for the future. And I don't you can't

319
00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:05,480
Speaker 4: have the mistackles at that particular level like they were

320
00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:07,760
Speaker 4: last year, but he had so many more opportunities because

321
00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:09,840
Speaker 4: we weren't as good in the front seven.

322
00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:14,880
Speaker 3: Well, today I felt like he he was so good

323
00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:15,400
Speaker 3: in coverage.

324
00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:17,640
Speaker 4: I mean, obviously they're not tackling anybody with no pads on,

325
00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:21,440
Speaker 4: but watching him in coverage in zone reading the eyes

326
00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:24,360
Speaker 4: of the quarterback, making breaks on the ball. You combine

327
00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:27,680
Speaker 4: that with his ferocious nature of going and finding the football,

328
00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:30,520
Speaker 4: you know, in the run game and run defense, how

329
00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:32,440
Speaker 4: he fills in the alley, and how he plays from

330
00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:35,080
Speaker 4: a low safety spot, how he's he's able to blitz

331
00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:37,360
Speaker 4: and do things. I just think the world is going

332
00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:39,440
Speaker 4: to be Petrie's oyster in his defense and I can't

333
00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:41,720
Speaker 4: wait to see it. And I think he is going

334
00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:44,160
Speaker 4: to be fantastic and coming out of these OTAs, I

335
00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:47,520
Speaker 4: feel like he's I remember last year they were gushing,

336
00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:51,040
Speaker 4: coaches were gushing about Petrie, and I don't think you'll

337
00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:54,280
Speaker 4: get kind of gushing this year because I don't know

338
00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:57,840
Speaker 4: if this this coaching staff is you know, they're relatively quiet.

339
00:14:57,880 --> 00:14:59,400
Speaker 4: I don't say a whole heck of a lot, but

340
00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:01,800
Speaker 4: I would have imagine that if you sat down with them,

341
00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:03,360
Speaker 4: they would say, O, yeah, Peetree's going to be the

342
00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:04,800
Speaker 4: real deal. I think he is going to be an

343
00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:07,880
Speaker 4: absolute perfect chess piece in this defense. He stood out

344
00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:09,600
Speaker 4: to me in ot as in mini camp, for sure.

345
00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:11,600
Speaker 1: He had the kind of practice that if it were

346
00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:14,200
Speaker 1: training camp, I would say, and I'm not saying he's

347
00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:18,040
Speaker 1: on par with these guys, but from a receiver standpoint,

348
00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:20,680
Speaker 1: when I would see Andre Johnson and DeAndre Hopkins have

349
00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:23,760
Speaker 1: this elite practice and I would say, bubble wrap. Petrie

350
00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:25,960
Speaker 1: had that kind of practice today. Again, I'm not putting

351
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:28,480
Speaker 1: him in that company yet, but he had that kind

352
00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:30,840
Speaker 1: of practice where you just say, we're good to go here.

353
00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:33,600
Speaker 2: This looks like mid season form to the most.

354
00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:34,520
Speaker 3: He's on it.

355
00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:36,960
Speaker 1: He's the perfect I'm the guy to break up a pass,

356
00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:39,160
Speaker 1: he got a finger on another one or maybe more

357
00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:41,120
Speaker 1: of the hand and is God in the way he

358
00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:43,920
Speaker 1: made plays And that's beautiful to see, all right, here's

359
00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:48,320
Speaker 1: my second takeaway from Mini camp so far. The young

360
00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:53,600
Speaker 1: linebackers Christian Harris, Henry to Attoa, Jake Hanson.

361
00:15:53,720 --> 00:15:56,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, you do not forget our boy what I say

362
00:15:56,800 --> 00:15:59,320
Speaker 4: to you today. Keep an eye out Jake Hanson. He's

363
00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:01,200
Speaker 4: wearing thirty five. He's got a little differ number. That's

364
00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:04,480
Speaker 4: his college numbers. Thirty five. You're dead on, Mark.

365
00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:07,880
Speaker 1: Drenky to see the thirty five. You know, I was

366
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:10,080
Speaker 1: just getting used to Wallows thirty eight and I only

367
00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:14,800
Speaker 1: got Jake Hanson thirty five. My gosh, but Hanson is

368
00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:17,760
Speaker 1: one of those impossible not to notice guys. Toatoa is

369
00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:21,520
Speaker 1: way beyond that. I mean, Toatoa comes in here. He's

370
00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:24,400
Speaker 1: one of those players where I look at him and

371
00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:26,240
Speaker 1: if I didn't know anything, you'd say that was a

372
00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:27,720
Speaker 1: second round pick or first round picker.

373
00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:28,920
Speaker 2: I'd say, okay, goodah.

374
00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:32,040
Speaker 1: You know, he just looks, he looks the part of

375
00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:35,120
Speaker 1: that no matter where he was drafted, that dude's gonna

376
00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:38,000
Speaker 1: play eventually somehow, and he's gonna play a lot. And

377
00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:41,000
Speaker 1: I feel that way about Christian Harris. Obviously, they're allowing

378
00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:45,080
Speaker 1: these young buck linebackers to climb the depth chart now

379
00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:47,680
Speaker 1: guys might be out on veteran sits or who knows

380
00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:49,320
Speaker 1: what the heck is going on and.

381
00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:50,000
Speaker 2: Why they do it.

382
00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:53,280
Speaker 1: But they wouldn't allow the guys to play where they're

383
00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:56,080
Speaker 1: at unless they were good, unless they felt good about

384
00:16:56,120 --> 00:16:58,600
Speaker 1: their game. And I think they feel pretty good about

385
00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:01,800
Speaker 1: their opportunities. They're getting their game. The defense had a

386
00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:04,600
Speaker 1: nice day overall. I thought there were plays by the offense,

387
00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:06,879
Speaker 1: no question, but the defense had a nice day. And

388
00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:09,320
Speaker 1: I'm sure they see all the flaws and the warts

389
00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:12,000
Speaker 1: and whatever they have to correct. But I've noticed the

390
00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:15,359
Speaker 1: young linebackers and we talk about how many defensive linemen

391
00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:17,359
Speaker 1: there are on this roster, and that's going to be

392
00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:20,000
Speaker 1: a really tough cut. Linebacker is going to be no

393
00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:24,199
Speaker 1: slouch cut either, because you've got linebackers for days, like

394
00:17:24,280 --> 00:17:26,960
Speaker 1: I've said, and this is going to be difficult the

395
00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:30,840
Speaker 1: final decision. Maybe it's injuries, maybe it's whatever else. But

396
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:34,919
Speaker 1: right now, you look pretty healthy, pretty thick in the

397
00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:35,879
Speaker 1: linebacker corps.

398
00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:38,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, and you want to stay that way, especially through

399
00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:39,840
Speaker 4: training camp. I mean we saw last year, you know,

400
00:17:39,880 --> 00:17:42,560
Speaker 4: Garrett got hurt in training camp and then Christian got

401
00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:43,879
Speaker 4: hurt in training camp, and all of a sudden, you're

402
00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:46,680
Speaker 4: down a couple of bodies and like whoa. But what

403
00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:49,600
Speaker 4: that did was it continued to open up opportunity for

404
00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:51,840
Speaker 4: Jake Hansen when he was healthy, and then Jake took

405
00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:54,000
Speaker 4: advantage of it, and she just kind of kept moving,

406
00:17:54,119 --> 00:17:55,720
Speaker 4: kind of moving up, moving up before you know, and

407
00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:58,720
Speaker 4: he's starting games, He's making plays like he did against

408
00:17:58,760 --> 00:18:01,600
Speaker 4: Dereck Henry, and I think Jay Cans is gonna find

409
00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:03,879
Speaker 4: his way on his on his football field. My second

410
00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:07,720
Speaker 4: one is Derek Stingley. I know I've talked about sting throughout.

411
00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:10,960
Speaker 4: You know, we talked about the other day about you know,

412
00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:14,600
Speaker 4: guys that needed to stay healthy for seventeen games. And

413
00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:16,879
Speaker 4: obviously we know Derek's injury history. We don't need to

414
00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:17,920
Speaker 4: bring that up.

415
00:18:18,119 --> 00:18:20,600
Speaker 3: But he's.

416
00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:25,320
Speaker 4: Just transformed his body. His body's transformed me. He looks

417
00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:28,720
Speaker 4: almost like a linebacker, but he's moving even better than

418
00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:29,720
Speaker 4: he did last year.

419
00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:32,560
Speaker 3: Uh. And it has been very, very difficult to throw

420
00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:33,080
Speaker 3: on him.

421
00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:35,400
Speaker 4: He had a practice I think it was last week

422
00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:38,280
Speaker 4: where he it just felt like he was knocking everything

423
00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:41,240
Speaker 4: down and he was all over the place. And I

424
00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:43,439
Speaker 4: feel like having that guy, whether it's a you know,

425
00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:45,760
Speaker 4: I call him a shutdown guy or a travel guy.

426
00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:49,160
Speaker 4: Having a guy that you know when you go man coverage,

427
00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:52,320
Speaker 4: like okay, two four has got this we and and

428
00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:55,879
Speaker 4: I feel that that's gonna happen with him. And you know,

429
00:18:56,160 --> 00:18:59,679
Speaker 4: I don't know if Sting would ever tell anybody because

430
00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:02,520
Speaker 4: he just doesn't talk all that much. He doesn't like

431
00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:04,280
Speaker 4: to talk all that much. He likes for his play

432
00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:07,840
Speaker 4: to do his talking. I would imagine, you know, hearing

433
00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:11,560
Speaker 4: all this love for Sauce Gardner last year, I bet

434
00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:15,120
Speaker 4: there's a part of him that's like you watch watch this, Okay,

435
00:19:15,359 --> 00:19:19,440
Speaker 4: watch this. I think he's got that, He's got that ability,

436
00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:21,800
Speaker 4: and I think once he really truly shows it off.

437
00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:23,720
Speaker 4: And I think we started to see that in OTA's

438
00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:25,720
Speaker 4: I think we really saw that in this Ota Mini

439
00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:28,320
Speaker 4: Camp session. I think he's got that in him. And

440
00:19:28,359 --> 00:19:30,200
Speaker 4: I think we're gonna see the ninety eight ninety nine

441
00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:32,920
Speaker 4: mile on our fastball this fall, and that is gonna

442
00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:34,600
Speaker 4: be fun to watch, all right.

443
00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:39,560
Speaker 1: My third takeaway from Mini Camp competition and situation work.

444
00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:44,320
Speaker 1: The competition, the way they set things up, I love it.

445
00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:47,640
Speaker 1: I love that you'll be in an offensive period. Well

446
00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:49,919
Speaker 1: I call it offense because like that's what I focus on.

447
00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:50,320
Speaker 2: Shohnny.

448
00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:52,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think if I had to be a coordinator,

449
00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:55,440
Speaker 1: it'd be an offensive coordinator. But maybe I'm wrong. Maybe

450
00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:58,000
Speaker 1: I'd love to coach the defense. You know what, I

451
00:19:58,040 --> 00:20:00,639
Speaker 1: won't have a choice in either matter. So let's just

452
00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:03,760
Speaker 1: move on with the show. But the way they set

453
00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:06,399
Speaker 1: it up, you don't get the fourth down try you know,

454
00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:08,119
Speaker 1: for an our end, we're gonna punt. You know, you

455
00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:10,879
Speaker 1: guys didn't get it on three downs, tough, or you

456
00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:12,879
Speaker 1: do get it on three downs, then we're gonna reload

457
00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:18,879
Speaker 1: start over the quarterbacks. Today, Stroud had some passes that

458
00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:21,919
Speaker 1: were right there, but somebody could he gets a fingernail

459
00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:24,600
Speaker 1: on it or whatever. And you know, somebody was asking

460
00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:26,960
Speaker 1: me about that. Is that the quarterback's fault or whatever

461
00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:28,840
Speaker 1: if it doesn't get there. I said, well, the ball's there.

462
00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:31,520
Speaker 1: You have to wonder is the receiver a step late?

463
00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:33,760
Speaker 1: Is the timing off? Is it the quarterback? There are

464
00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:36,040
Speaker 1: little nuances to it that they'll talk about in the

465
00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:38,879
Speaker 1: rooms and we'll see. I thought he was sharp anyway,

466
00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:43,040
Speaker 1: two minute situation. I have to bring this up, and

467
00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:46,200
Speaker 1: I wasn't gonna make it an exclusive category, but Kaemi

468
00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:48,480
Speaker 1: Fairbaron was drilling it.

469
00:20:48,560 --> 00:20:51,040
Speaker 3: He was straight. He was straight money today.

470
00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:53,240
Speaker 2: Hit a sixty yarder for the win.

471
00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:55,880
Speaker 3: Bombed it. I mean that was good from sixty five

472
00:20:55,920 --> 00:20:58,359
Speaker 3: he hit the absolute but Jesus out of it.

473
00:20:58,359 --> 00:20:59,800
Speaker 2: It was is a no doubt.

474
00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:02,560
Speaker 1: It didn't even look like he had to drill it.

475
00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:05,000
Speaker 1: And it wasn't a lot of wind either. He just

476
00:21:05,119 --> 00:21:08,119
Speaker 1: kind of it's It reminded me of the.

477
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:09,600
Speaker 2: Golf clubs these days.

478
00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:11,879
Speaker 1: Right, I get him my adar in one hundred and

479
00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:15,720
Speaker 1: eighty yards, you know, high in the air, no problem.

480
00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:19,240
Speaker 1: He looked pretty good to me. But I thought Davis

481
00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:22,760
Speaker 1: Mills had a nice practice today. He did. He looked

482
00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:25,080
Speaker 1: good in the two minute. He had one session that

483
00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:28,200
Speaker 1: was but you know it was a pass rush received,

484
00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:30,160
Speaker 1: it was a receiver there or not. He looked good

485
00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:34,200
Speaker 1: in seven on sevens. And I think Stroud continues to grow.

486
00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:37,560
Speaker 1: Dimiko talks about growth. We're seeing it here. We'll see

487
00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:39,760
Speaker 1: how it all shakes out in training camp. I think

488
00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:42,040
Speaker 1: you're gonna leave mini camp with it's not gonna be

489
00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:44,280
Speaker 1: a mystery, but it's gonna be.

490
00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:44,840
Speaker 3: Hey.

491
00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:48,840
Speaker 1: They're going to continue to let them compete, be in

492
00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:52,280
Speaker 1: situations and let the best people win and play, and

493
00:21:52,320 --> 00:21:53,399
Speaker 1: it's going to be fun to watch.

494
00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:58,639
Speaker 3: My last one's going to be veteran influence there.

495
00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:03,119
Speaker 4: Every you know, we've heard the word intentional and the

496
00:22:03,119 --> 00:22:05,880
Speaker 4: phrase be intentional. Will Anderson brought that up a lot

497
00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:08,480
Speaker 4: at his press conference right after he was drafted.

498
00:22:08,560 --> 00:22:09,280
Speaker 3: Be intentional.

499
00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:10,240
Speaker 7: There was.

500
00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:15,040
Speaker 4: Intention with every single veteran that's brought in. Denzel Perrman,

501
00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:20,080
Speaker 4: Jimmy Ward, Sheldon rankins Son, Ridgeway, guys that were brought

502
00:22:20,119 --> 00:22:24,119
Speaker 4: in from other places that you know, they weren't just

503
00:22:24,119 --> 00:22:27,560
Speaker 4: brought in to Okay, go make plays. Yeah, that's that's

504
00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:29,560
Speaker 4: one part of it. But I feel like the veteran

505
00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:33,200
Speaker 4: influence of the guys that they've brought in, Dalton Schultz,

506
00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:36,240
Speaker 4: guys that have been there and seen some things that

507
00:22:36,359 --> 00:22:40,000
Speaker 4: they can contribute. Hey, when we were in Dallas, we

508
00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:42,119
Speaker 4: did this, or hey, I've seen this situation before, I

509
00:22:42,119 --> 00:22:44,640
Speaker 4: can help you through this. I feel like the veterans

510
00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:48,520
Speaker 4: that were added are were added one year, two year,

511
00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:53,119
Speaker 4: whatever contract they signed, they were added because they have

512
00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:55,280
Speaker 4: seen some things they can't share with the team that

513
00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:58,400
Speaker 4: is young. And you know, Kenyan Green can learn from

514
00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:01,240
Speaker 4: Shaq Mason, Jalen Peatree, can sit there next to Jimmy

515
00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:04,400
Speaker 4: Ward and soak in all that knowledge. And even veterans

516
00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:07,000
Speaker 4: that were brought in previous years too, you know, Christian Kirksey,

517
00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:10,359
Speaker 4: We talked with all these guys and just you know,

518
00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:13,159
Speaker 4: the the sharing of eight, nine, ten years in the

519
00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:18,240
Speaker 4: league that these guys, these young guys can could take

520
00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:18,480
Speaker 4: from it.

521
00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:19,240
Speaker 3: They carry forward.

522
00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:20,879
Speaker 4: And I feel like, you know, looking back on the

523
00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:22,800
Speaker 4: twenty and you know eleven team, kind of when the

524
00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:26,200
Speaker 4: corner was really really getting turned, you had you had

525
00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:28,040
Speaker 4: some of those veteran guys sharing with some of the

526
00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:30,520
Speaker 4: younger guys. You know, Sean Cody was on a defensive

527
00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:33,959
Speaker 4: line with JJ Watt. You know, obviously you had you

528
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:37,200
Speaker 4: had Cushing, but he had some elder statesmen.

529
00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:37,600
Speaker 3: To learn from us.

530
00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:40,359
Speaker 4: He was kind of growing and playing an inside linebacker position.

531
00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:41,800
Speaker 3: So I think it's hugely important.

532
00:23:41,800 --> 00:23:43,960
Speaker 4: I think it was very intentional the players that were

533
00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:46,080
Speaker 4: brought in, not that they just came out of dem

534
00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:49,920
Speaker 4: Eco's system, but that they came here and they understand

535
00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:52,320
Speaker 4: there's more to just catching a passer making a tackle

536
00:23:52,760 --> 00:23:54,879
Speaker 4: to help this organization get better, and I feel like

537
00:23:54,960 --> 00:23:57,280
Speaker 4: those veterans are bringing that and you could see that

538
00:23:57,359 --> 00:23:59,280
Speaker 4: during OTAs two, and I hope that carries over through

539
00:23:59,320 --> 00:23:59,960
Speaker 4: the season as well.

540
00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:00,520
Speaker 8: I love it.

541
00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:04,400
Speaker 1: You have these players on shorter contracts by and large,

542
00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:06,880
Speaker 1: and nobody's fat and happy over here.

543
00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:07,800
Speaker 2: Those guys are.

544
00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:11,760
Speaker 1: Bawling out competing and the youngsters will benefit from that.

545
00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:15,280
Speaker 1: And like I said, let the best people play open

546
00:24:15,359 --> 00:24:18,280
Speaker 1: up against the Ravens and we'll see from there. All right,

547
00:24:18,320 --> 00:24:20,239
Speaker 1: that's going to do it. For this segment coming up,

548
00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:23,840
Speaker 1: Brevan Jordan. He's entering year three the tight End from

549
00:24:23,840 --> 00:24:26,040
Speaker 1: the University of Miami. Johnny and I had a chance

550
00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:29,400
Speaker 1: to visit with him. How's it going for him this offseason.

551
00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:32,399
Speaker 1: We'll check in next on Texans Radio. Right back to

552
00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:35,960
Speaker 1: it here on Texans Radio with Brevin Jordan visiting our

553
00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:38,679
Speaker 1: studio as part of Media Days. We caught up with

554
00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:41,680
Speaker 1: the tight End from the University of Miami and Brevan's

555
00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:45,439
Speaker 1: career so far. You have two seasons and you have

556
00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:48,280
Speaker 1: twenty games played in thirty four catches, and you know

557
00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:51,760
Speaker 1: he wants to up that total dramatically. Three total touchdowns

558
00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:55,480
Speaker 1: in his career so far, none last year, so he

559
00:24:55,560 --> 00:24:57,800
Speaker 1: wants to get off to a fast start. And we

560
00:24:57,920 --> 00:25:01,359
Speaker 1: talked about OTAs among other things, mini camp of course,

561
00:25:01,359 --> 00:25:04,040
Speaker 1: and the break between mini camp and training camp. But

562
00:25:04,080 --> 00:25:07,919
Speaker 1: it's always good to see Brevin Jordan. Great to see you.

563
00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:09,639
Speaker 1: I mean, it really is great to see. Great to

564
00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:11,320
Speaker 1: see out in the field making plays. It's got to

565
00:25:11,359 --> 00:25:11,760
Speaker 1: feel good.

566
00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:12,439
Speaker 3: It feels great, man.

567
00:25:12,440 --> 00:25:14,359
Speaker 7: It feels good to be out here and get a

568
00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:18,439
Speaker 7: you know, a different regime. My body's changing, just just everything. Man,

569
00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:19,440
Speaker 7: I'm excited for this year.

570
00:25:19,520 --> 00:25:21,240
Speaker 4: Okay, I gotta I gotta ask you this, and I

571
00:25:21,280 --> 00:25:23,159
Speaker 4: know there's there's nothing you can do about this. But

572
00:25:23,359 --> 00:25:25,560
Speaker 4: so your third year with the Texans, it's your third

573
00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:29,679
Speaker 4: different tight ends coach, it's your third different system that

574
00:25:29,720 --> 00:25:32,520
Speaker 4: you're learning. I mean, I don't want to say that

575
00:25:32,560 --> 00:25:34,520
Speaker 4: you've kind of gotten used to it, but how is

576
00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:37,000
Speaker 4: this system? How is coach? How the thing's different for

577
00:25:37,040 --> 00:25:39,920
Speaker 4: you this year, your third year. See, everything is different,

578
00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:41,760
Speaker 4: But obviously you're kind of used to change.

579
00:25:41,840 --> 00:25:44,360
Speaker 7: I think because I was in two different systems my

580
00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:45,639
Speaker 7: first two years in the league.

581
00:25:46,080 --> 00:25:50,520
Speaker 3: Being in this system is so much easier. It's easier

582
00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:50,840
Speaker 3: for me.

583
00:25:50,800 --> 00:25:53,920
Speaker 7: To understand, like, like, all right, if the receivers running

584
00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:57,040
Speaker 7: a dig, I have to run a corner like it's

585
00:25:57,080 --> 00:25:59,320
Speaker 7: being in the NFL for two years has definitely helped

586
00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:02,679
Speaker 7: me to understand, you know, how how things puzzle together,

587
00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:05,199
Speaker 7: and and and the reasoning is why we do the

588
00:26:05,240 --> 00:26:07,119
Speaker 7: way you know, the reason why we do things the

589
00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:07,680
Speaker 7: way we do.

590
00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:10,320
Speaker 3: So I'm excited, man, I'm very excited.

591
00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:14,000
Speaker 1: All right, body change? What's different? You look bigger than me? Right, Yeah,

592
00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:14,520
Speaker 1: I am bigger.

593
00:26:14,600 --> 00:26:17,000
Speaker 7: So I've lost, like I want to say, two percent,

594
00:26:17,040 --> 00:26:20,719
Speaker 7: three percent body fat, game, two percent lean mass. So

595
00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:23,080
Speaker 7: it's really because of my girlfriend. My girlfriend is a chef.

596
00:26:23,320 --> 00:26:25,679
Speaker 7: Oh yeah, so she makes me a lot of steak,

597
00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:28,280
Speaker 7: you know, a lot of lamptops chicken.

598
00:26:28,680 --> 00:26:30,920
Speaker 2: So you cut down on carbs, a lot of Yeah.

599
00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:32,280
Speaker 7: I mean I cut down on carbs, but I think

600
00:26:32,359 --> 00:26:34,640
Speaker 7: more so just in taking just in taking a lot

601
00:26:34,680 --> 00:26:37,119
Speaker 7: more protein, you know what I'm saying. I mean, I'm Korean,

602
00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:40,520
Speaker 7: so I eat rice with breakfast lunch. It's really just

603
00:26:40,560 --> 00:26:43,000
Speaker 7: a part of who I am. But just up upgrading

604
00:26:43,040 --> 00:26:45,639
Speaker 7: more protein has just leaned down my body.

605
00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:48,000
Speaker 2: What about the workouts? Have they changed as well?

606
00:26:48,080 --> 00:26:51,159
Speaker 7: The workouts haven't changed? I mean as no, because I

607
00:26:51,200 --> 00:26:53,560
Speaker 7: mean I'm with the Texans, you know, I've been with

608
00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:56,440
Speaker 7: the off season program. I was here the whole off season.

609
00:26:56,480 --> 00:26:56,879
Speaker 3: Pretty much.

610
00:26:56,880 --> 00:26:58,639
Speaker 1: You're one of those guys throwing the medicine ball against

611
00:26:58,640 --> 00:26:59,080
Speaker 1: the walls.

612
00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:02,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, you know the mic and the strange staff.

613
00:27:02,720 --> 00:27:03,320
Speaker 3: You know, all summer.

614
00:27:03,440 --> 00:27:07,159
Speaker 7: So the workouts aren't different, you know, but just up

615
00:27:07,320 --> 00:27:09,320
Speaker 7: upgrading how much I eat my proteins.

616
00:27:09,640 --> 00:27:11,040
Speaker 3: It's it's made a difference.

617
00:27:11,119 --> 00:27:13,680
Speaker 4: Okay, So outside of rice, what was the one thing

618
00:27:13,720 --> 00:27:16,640
Speaker 4: that you gave up that each day you go wish

619
00:27:16,640 --> 00:27:18,960
Speaker 4: we could have that, because everybody has that when they're

620
00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:21,600
Speaker 4: going to die, there's that one thing that they want.

621
00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:23,600
Speaker 4: I remember when I cut a bunch of weight, potato chips.

622
00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:26,800
Speaker 7: I was actually what I was gonna say, the worst

623
00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:28,600
Speaker 7: hot hot cheetos, hot fries.

624
00:27:29,080 --> 00:27:30,600
Speaker 3: Those are just bad for you.

625
00:27:30,640 --> 00:27:33,400
Speaker 7: Man. You gotta just those chips, chips and stuff like that. Man,

626
00:27:33,680 --> 00:27:36,639
Speaker 7: they really do. They have no nutritional value to it.

627
00:27:36,680 --> 00:27:38,920
Speaker 7: And it is really it isn't.

628
00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:41,000
Speaker 4: Until you start cutting weight that you realize that, you

629
00:27:41,040 --> 00:27:43,160
Speaker 4: really realize when you focused on your body. Like, wait

630
00:27:43,200 --> 00:27:46,680
Speaker 4: a second, a Gatorade glassic Gatorade is three hundred calories

631
00:27:47,040 --> 00:27:47,920
Speaker 4: and all the sugars.

632
00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:50,919
Speaker 3: Okay, I'll go just I'll go to Gatorade zero. The Gatorade,

633
00:27:50,920 --> 00:27:51,440
Speaker 3: but I'll go to zero.

634
00:27:52,440 --> 00:27:54,600
Speaker 7: We had an off season workout. It was probably like

635
00:27:54,600 --> 00:27:57,520
Speaker 7: the second week I was back out here and I

636
00:27:57,520 --> 00:28:00,399
Speaker 7: had a small like a small bag of hot the

637
00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:02,199
Speaker 7: night before, like just a small bank and I went

638
00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:04,360
Speaker 7: to off season workouts, bro, and I just felt it,

639
00:28:04,440 --> 00:28:07,720
Speaker 7: like really just I just felt it, like my energy

640
00:28:07,840 --> 00:28:10,480
Speaker 7: was low. I felt like I couldn't just I feel

641
00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:12,960
Speaker 7: like I couldn't move, man. So it just it's really

642
00:28:12,960 --> 00:28:13,800
Speaker 7: made a huge difference.

643
00:28:13,840 --> 00:28:16,800
Speaker 1: So is it easier to stay away from the bad food,

644
00:28:16,880 --> 00:28:19,840
Speaker 1: the junk food when you know the effect it has

645
00:28:19,880 --> 00:28:20,920
Speaker 1: when you feel it like that?

646
00:28:22,280 --> 00:28:26,400
Speaker 7: I mean I don't even crave you know, okay, cheetos,

647
00:28:26,440 --> 00:28:28,440
Speaker 7: hot fries. I don't really eat Recee's puffs some more

648
00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:30,680
Speaker 7: or anything like that. That's I stay away from.

649
00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:32,680
Speaker 1: Wait, since you're a rice expert too, Johnny, I gotta

650
00:28:32,680 --> 00:28:35,320
Speaker 1: get this. I'm taking notes of my personal diet here.

651
00:28:35,720 --> 00:28:38,560
Speaker 3: I'm like, I eat rice whatever you see. I eat

652
00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:39,480
Speaker 3: rice with every lunch.

653
00:28:39,840 --> 00:28:41,600
Speaker 2: But Brevin white rice or brown rice?

654
00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:42,080
Speaker 3: Why rice?

655
00:28:42,200 --> 00:28:42,640
Speaker 2: White rice?

656
00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:43,080
Speaker 3: Why rice?

657
00:28:43,640 --> 00:28:45,600
Speaker 2: I read that white rice is not as bad as

658
00:28:46,040 --> 00:28:46,800
Speaker 2: you might think.

659
00:28:47,320 --> 00:28:49,960
Speaker 3: People trying to say brown rice is healthier than white rice.

660
00:28:50,080 --> 00:28:50,880
Speaker 3: I never understood.

661
00:28:50,920 --> 00:28:54,080
Speaker 2: I heard brown rice. Here we are, let's get lad

662
00:28:54,120 --> 00:28:54,360
Speaker 2: In here.

663
00:28:54,480 --> 00:28:58,440
Speaker 1: Let's but I heard brown rice might be more difficult

664
00:28:58,480 --> 00:29:02,200
Speaker 1: to digest than white rice. I don't know who knows. Yeah,

665
00:29:02,240 --> 00:29:05,360
Speaker 1: all right, So here's the important question, John. The rest

666
00:29:05,400 --> 00:29:07,760
Speaker 1: of it doesn't matter. How can we straighten out the

667
00:29:07,800 --> 00:29:11,000
Speaker 1: Miami Hurricanes? How can we get the King going again?

668
00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:13,840
Speaker 1: I mean, year one under Mario is not what I anticipated,

669
00:29:13,840 --> 00:29:15,720
Speaker 1: and I'm sure you felt the same way. What do

670
00:29:15,720 --> 00:29:16,960
Speaker 1: you think is gonna happen year two?

671
00:29:17,840 --> 00:29:20,120
Speaker 7: I'm excited, honestly, though, Man, I can't I don't know

672
00:29:20,280 --> 00:29:22,840
Speaker 7: what's gonna happen. I'm excited to see, you know, year

673
00:29:22,880 --> 00:29:25,200
Speaker 7: or two on the Crystal Ball and on Mario Mario's

674
00:29:25,200 --> 00:29:26,160
Speaker 7: regime in the staff.

675
00:29:26,920 --> 00:29:28,560
Speaker 3: But honestly, I don't know. I don't know.

676
00:29:29,240 --> 00:29:31,840
Speaker 7: My hope is eight plus wins at least, you know,

677
00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:33,600
Speaker 7: just to get things moving in the right direction. I

678
00:29:33,600 --> 00:29:35,200
Speaker 7: think last year they went I think they only won

679
00:29:35,280 --> 00:29:37,400
Speaker 7: five games last year. So I mean, just this year,

680
00:29:37,480 --> 00:29:38,880
Speaker 7: just to win at least eight games, you know, go

681
00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:41,160
Speaker 7: to a Bowl game, just to lead things in the

682
00:29:41,200 --> 00:29:44,160
Speaker 7: right direction. I mean, Mario's on a six year contract,

683
00:29:44,160 --> 00:29:46,640
Speaker 7: I believe, so I mean, Rome didn't get built overnight.

684
00:29:46,760 --> 00:29:49,440
Speaker 7: So I mean, just to show some type of improvement

685
00:29:49,440 --> 00:29:51,440
Speaker 7: I think is the main thing for me going into Brevan.

686
00:29:51,880 --> 00:29:54,160
Speaker 3: You in Las Vegas, your whole life born and race. Okay,

687
00:29:54,760 --> 00:29:56,040
Speaker 3: so you've seen it change.

688
00:29:56,120 --> 00:29:58,600
Speaker 4: It went from a spot where you know, the NBA

689
00:29:58,600 --> 00:30:00,760
Speaker 4: All Star Game went to Las Veigsguas and it was

690
00:30:01,560 --> 00:30:05,120
Speaker 4: this really novel you know, opportunity, like whoa, nothing has

691
00:30:05,160 --> 00:30:08,600
Speaker 4: ever been in Vegas Right now, NHL team has been unbelievable.

692
00:30:08,960 --> 00:30:11,320
Speaker 4: You got the Raiders now they're in Las Vegas. The

693
00:30:11,360 --> 00:30:13,240
Speaker 4: aces are incredible. I mean, it's one of the best

694
00:30:13,280 --> 00:30:16,320
Speaker 4: WNBA organizations. And it looks like the A's might end

695
00:30:16,400 --> 00:30:19,480
Speaker 4: up in Las Vegas. For somebody from Las Vegas that

696
00:30:19,520 --> 00:30:22,480
Speaker 4: has so much going on, how have you kind of

697
00:30:22,480 --> 00:30:24,840
Speaker 4: looked at the sports scene that's there back in your hometown.

698
00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:27,280
Speaker 7: I mean I feel like now Vegas is a mecca,

699
00:30:27,440 --> 00:30:30,160
Speaker 7: I mean a mecca of sports. I mean it's not

700
00:30:30,480 --> 00:30:32,160
Speaker 7: in terms of like high school and stuff like that,

701
00:30:32,200 --> 00:30:34,320
Speaker 7: and college is not up there with schools with states

702
00:30:34,320 --> 00:30:36,920
Speaker 7: like California and Texas, right you know, in Florida. But

703
00:30:37,720 --> 00:30:42,120
Speaker 7: in terms of just the just the flood and the

704
00:30:42,120 --> 00:30:45,920
Speaker 7: floodgates of support and just all the sports teams going there.

705
00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:48,600
Speaker 7: It really just makes the city of Las Vegas like

706
00:30:48,640 --> 00:30:50,880
Speaker 7: a mecca, a mecca sports town in my opinion. You know,

707
00:30:50,960 --> 00:30:53,440
Speaker 7: when I first when I was when the Raiders were

708
00:30:53,440 --> 00:30:56,880
Speaker 7: first like the Raiders Stadium was first getting built, it

709
00:30:57,000 --> 00:31:00,560
Speaker 7: was just it was more like a It didn't feel

710
00:31:00,560 --> 00:31:03,000
Speaker 7: real because it always felt like we're never going to

711
00:31:03,040 --> 00:31:05,600
Speaker 7: get a sports team. So it's unbelievable to see, man,

712
00:31:05,600 --> 00:31:08,080
Speaker 7: I mean, it's awesome, it really is. There's no words

713
00:31:08,080 --> 00:31:08,400
Speaker 7: for it.

714
00:31:08,440 --> 00:31:12,560
Speaker 1: What's something about Vegas that the travelers won't see but

715
00:31:12,680 --> 00:31:13,760
Speaker 1: that you really like.

716
00:31:13,960 --> 00:31:15,000
Speaker 2: There's some kind of.

717
00:31:15,920 --> 00:31:19,360
Speaker 1: Downtown area that's not the Vegas downtown or is there

718
00:31:19,520 --> 00:31:21,400
Speaker 1: some kind of area that you.

719
00:31:21,560 --> 00:31:24,640
Speaker 7: Like or aspect of So so we actually don't go

720
00:31:24,640 --> 00:31:25,120
Speaker 7: to the strip.

721
00:31:25,160 --> 00:31:26,200
Speaker 3: We never go to the strip.

722
00:31:26,320 --> 00:31:29,200
Speaker 7: Yeah, So mainly I stay in summer Land or Henderson

723
00:31:29,360 --> 00:31:31,000
Speaker 7: and those are just the two.

724
00:31:31,080 --> 00:31:32,320
Speaker 3: Those are two parts of you.

725
00:31:32,280 --> 00:31:34,360
Speaker 7: Know, if Las Vegas are very modern, they're very nice

726
00:31:34,400 --> 00:31:36,440
Speaker 7: areas and there's a lot it's like a small town

727
00:31:36,440 --> 00:31:38,080
Speaker 7: where there's a lot you can go do. I mean,

728
00:31:38,120 --> 00:31:41,600
Speaker 7: there's there's town squares and both of them. But my

729
00:31:41,760 --> 00:31:44,680
Speaker 7: favorite spot to go to. I would honestly say the

730
00:31:44,800 --> 00:31:47,880
Speaker 7: Sushi Fever. It's in Summerland. So if you guys ever

731
00:31:47,880 --> 00:31:50,280
Speaker 7: get a chance to go to Vegas Sushi Fever, Yeah,

732
00:31:50,280 --> 00:31:50,840
Speaker 7: it's one of my.

733
00:31:50,800 --> 00:31:53,960
Speaker 2: Best and it's probably mostly locals.

734
00:31:53,600 --> 00:31:57,040
Speaker 3: Right, that's the best places that the ones the locals

735
00:31:57,040 --> 00:31:58,480
Speaker 3: know about. The travelers.

736
00:31:58,560 --> 00:32:01,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, you don't let them in on that. But you

737
00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:03,920
Speaker 4: you mentioned, you know football in the state. You went

738
00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:09,120
Speaker 4: to Gorman, and Gorman is known nationally. I mean in

739
00:32:09,240 --> 00:32:12,800
Speaker 4: your in your years at Gorman, how many where did

740
00:32:12,840 --> 00:32:14,200
Speaker 4: you all go play? Because I know there are a

741
00:32:14,200 --> 00:32:16,360
Speaker 4: few times where I can't remember if you were the

742
00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:18,080
Speaker 4: same year as Tape, but I know they were playing

743
00:32:18,080 --> 00:32:20,840
Speaker 4: at Texas one time they were playing California. What did

744
00:32:20,840 --> 00:32:23,120
Speaker 4: that experience playing at Gorman kind of mean to your game?

745
00:32:23,120 --> 00:32:24,840
Speaker 4: To play at that high level, then you go to

746
00:32:24,880 --> 00:32:26,360
Speaker 4: the U and then you come to the NFL.

747
00:32:26,480 --> 00:32:30,000
Speaker 7: I mean, yeah, Gorman just prepared me to go to

748
00:32:30,040 --> 00:32:32,200
Speaker 7: college and be ready for the college workouts in the

749
00:32:32,200 --> 00:32:35,600
Speaker 7: college atmosphere, we I mean, I went to Hawaii, I

750
00:32:35,640 --> 00:32:39,000
Speaker 7: played California teams every year, played Florida teams every year.

751
00:32:39,000 --> 00:32:40,480
Speaker 3: I played the Cedar Hill and Dallas. I mean you

752
00:32:40,520 --> 00:32:41,800
Speaker 3: traveled like a college.

753
00:32:41,600 --> 00:32:44,360
Speaker 7: Like a college team. I mean, yeah, is that Gorman

754
00:32:44,920 --> 00:32:48,240
Speaker 7: prepared me for college? For the atmosphere, for the workouts,

755
00:32:48,280 --> 00:32:51,600
Speaker 7: for the intensity of you know, competition, that practice. Gorman

756
00:32:51,760 --> 00:32:53,600
Speaker 7: was the best place to go for me to be

757
00:32:53,680 --> 00:32:54,880
Speaker 7: prepared for college for sure.

758
00:32:54,960 --> 00:32:57,840
Speaker 1: All Right, So who's your NBA team? Because we were

759
00:32:57,880 --> 00:32:59,960
Speaker 1: talking about the Heat and the Nuggets in the finals.

760
00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:02,480
Speaker 1: But use your NBA team because you grow up in Vegas.

761
00:33:02,560 --> 00:33:04,520
Speaker 7: I actually don't have an NBA team. I would say

762
00:33:04,520 --> 00:33:07,040
Speaker 7: the Heat because just because the HEA's the only games

763
00:33:07,040 --> 00:33:09,280
Speaker 7: I've been to in person. But I'm not even really

764
00:33:09,360 --> 00:33:09,760
Speaker 7: Heat fan.

765
00:33:10,240 --> 00:33:11,480
Speaker 2: Just a Rockets game.

766
00:33:11,520 --> 00:33:13,920
Speaker 1: But you here during a Yeah, I'm not the greatest

767
00:33:13,920 --> 00:33:14,840
Speaker 1: part of rocket history.

768
00:33:15,120 --> 00:33:15,800
Speaker 2: League gets better?

769
00:33:15,880 --> 00:33:16,360
Speaker 3: Right for sore?

770
00:33:16,360 --> 00:33:17,880
Speaker 7: I got to go to a Rockets game, But literally,

771
00:33:17,880 --> 00:33:20,360
Speaker 7: I've only been NBA wise, I've only been to a

772
00:33:20,400 --> 00:33:20,800
Speaker 7: Heat game.

773
00:33:20,880 --> 00:33:24,880
Speaker 1: But what about Houston as a whole and your impressions

774
00:33:24,960 --> 00:33:27,880
Speaker 1: because living in Miami and Vegas and you've got a

775
00:33:27,880 --> 00:33:30,080
Speaker 1: good sense of things, a good scope here.

776
00:33:30,280 --> 00:33:31,280
Speaker 2: What do you think of Houston?

777
00:33:31,360 --> 00:33:32,160

805
00:34:48,600 --> 00:34:51,879
Speaker 1: third year tight end, now a player going into year two.

806
00:34:52,440 --> 00:34:56,319
Speaker 1: Kurt Heinis, notre dame, plays in the interior of the

807
00:34:56,360 --> 00:34:59,000
Speaker 1: defensive line. Undrafted free agent from last year, got a

808
00:34:59,040 --> 00:35:01,520
Speaker 1: lot of reps. Let's catch up with him next here

809
00:35:01,800 --> 00:35:05,200
Speaker 1: on Texans Radio. Fun conversation coming up with Kurt Heinis,

810
00:35:05,280 --> 00:35:07,919
Speaker 1: defensive lineman entering year two. But I wanted to start

811
00:35:07,960 --> 00:35:11,800
Speaker 1: the segment off with a quote from David Cully. Wait

812
00:35:11,840 --> 00:35:14,640
Speaker 1: a minute, it's twenty twenty three Mini camp and you've

813
00:35:14,640 --> 00:35:17,840
Speaker 1: got Demiko Ryans and all this stuff, and you're going

814
00:35:17,920 --> 00:35:20,839
Speaker 1: to give a David Cully quote to us. Yes, I am,

815
00:35:21,239 --> 00:35:23,480
Speaker 1: and I think Demiko would like this one actually, because

816
00:35:24,080 --> 00:35:27,400
Speaker 1: I would watch training camp in he camp practice and

817
00:35:27,440 --> 00:35:30,000
Speaker 1: then ask him who do you root for? Offense or

818
00:35:30,080 --> 00:35:33,000
Speaker 1: defense when you're watching these situations, because that came up today.

819
00:35:33,040 --> 00:35:35,440
Speaker 1: You're watching the defense make plays. You see the offense

820
00:35:35,480 --> 00:35:37,759
Speaker 1: make some plays. He would say. When I asked him

821
00:35:37,760 --> 00:35:40,640
Speaker 1: who he's rooting for, he would say the Houston Texans.

822
00:35:41,360 --> 00:35:42,120
Speaker 2: I love that man.

823
00:35:42,200 --> 00:35:44,439
Speaker 1: He's great and I know his coaching tenure here didn't

824
00:35:44,480 --> 00:35:47,600
Speaker 1: exactly work out very well, but still love David Cully

825
00:35:47,640 --> 00:35:50,200
Speaker 1: the person coach. If you're listening, hope you're doing great,

826
00:35:50,280 --> 00:35:52,960
Speaker 1: all right. We know Demiko Ryan's doing very well so

827
00:35:53,239 --> 00:35:56,279
Speaker 1: far here at mini camp. One of the players trying

828
00:35:56,280 --> 00:35:58,279
Speaker 1: to make it on that d and make a big

829
00:35:58,320 --> 00:36:02,400
Speaker 1: impression in year two is Kurt Heihinish from Notere Dame.

830
00:36:02,920 --> 00:36:05,680
Speaker 1: And we talked to Kurt about, Hey, rookie last year,

831
00:36:06,040 --> 00:36:09,080
Speaker 1: VET this year and does it feel like it?

832
00:36:09,080 --> 00:36:11,160
Speaker 6: It feels a lot different, you know, last year coming in,

833
00:36:11,320 --> 00:36:14,359
Speaker 6: I didn't really know what to expect, just because with

834
00:36:14,400 --> 00:36:16,080
Speaker 6: my role giving when I first got you know, the

835
00:36:16,160 --> 00:36:18,279
Speaker 6: undrafted guy and I was just trying to make the

836
00:36:18,320 --> 00:36:21,359
Speaker 6: team at that point. Uh once again, Sam mission again

837
00:36:21,360 --> 00:36:23,879
Speaker 6: this year, make the team, make to fifty three. Yeah,

838
00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:25,960
Speaker 6: contribute to be a key, contributed to all that the

839
00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:28,759
Speaker 6: good stuff. But I'm excited. I'm more comfortable in my

840
00:36:28,840 --> 00:36:30,839
Speaker 6: role this year than I was because I really didn't

841
00:36:30,840 --> 00:36:33,200
Speaker 6: know what to expect last year. So a little bit

842
00:36:33,239 --> 00:36:35,360
Speaker 6: more comfortable in my abilities and what I can do

843
00:36:35,360 --> 00:36:36,120
Speaker 6: in the field this year.

844
00:36:36,280 --> 00:36:38,640
Speaker 4: So we were talking about you pretty much daily during

845
00:36:38,680 --> 00:36:40,360
Speaker 4: training camp. Because it's like, man, did you see what

846
00:36:40,440 --> 00:36:42,239
Speaker 4: Kurt did to that guy? Did you see that?

847
00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:43,200
Speaker 3: When?

848
00:36:43,320 --> 00:36:45,200
Speaker 4: At what point did you feel like, you know what

849
00:36:45,320 --> 00:36:47,160
Speaker 4: I think I'm on this fifty three?

850
00:36:47,200 --> 00:36:47,600
Speaker 3: Did you know?

851
00:36:47,760 --> 00:36:50,239
Speaker 4: Or was it not the final call? That was that

852
00:36:50,320 --> 00:36:52,640
Speaker 4: kind of like final cutdown weekend light for you?

853
00:36:52,760 --> 00:36:53,000
Speaker 8: Yeah?

854
00:36:53,040 --> 00:36:54,920
Speaker 6: So I was just I remember sitting in the west

855
00:36:54,960 --> 00:36:57,440
Speaker 6: and just like crabb in my pants the whole weekend,

856
00:36:57,719 --> 00:37:01,080
Speaker 6: like waiting waiting to get a phone call to come in,

857
00:37:01,239 --> 00:37:04,160
Speaker 6: like and in my head when I initially first got here,

858
00:37:04,200 --> 00:37:05,719
Speaker 6: I was like, I'm going to make the team. There

859
00:37:05,760 --> 00:37:06,880
Speaker 6: was no doubt my mind. I was going to make

860
00:37:06,920 --> 00:37:10,000
Speaker 6: the team right and play. That was the mindset that

861
00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:12,520
Speaker 6: I had. But you know, when push came to show,

862
00:37:12,560 --> 00:37:14,360
Speaker 6: I felt like, at the end of the day, I

863
00:37:14,360 --> 00:37:17,000
Speaker 6: did everything in my power that I could have done

864
00:37:17,080 --> 00:37:20,239
Speaker 6: to make the team. So then I was sitting there

865
00:37:20,239 --> 00:37:21,920
Speaker 6: that weekend and I was like, I was really nervous,

866
00:37:21,960 --> 00:37:25,160
Speaker 6: But then three o'clock came around. As soon as the

867
00:37:25,200 --> 00:37:26,719
Speaker 6: clock at three on one, I'm like, I'm good.

868
00:37:27,239 --> 00:37:28,239
Speaker 3: So yeah, that.

869
00:37:28,239 --> 00:37:29,040
Speaker 8: Was pretty much it.

870
00:37:30,360 --> 00:37:32,279
Speaker 6: But yeah, man, I was pretty confident that I was

871
00:37:32,280 --> 00:37:34,400
Speaker 6: gonna make it, just because of everything that I displayed

872
00:37:34,440 --> 00:37:35,319
Speaker 6: and what I had to offer.

873
00:37:35,560 --> 00:37:38,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, what was the welcome to the NFL moment?

874
00:37:38,800 --> 00:37:41,919
Speaker 1: Whether it be training camp, practice or in a game

875
00:37:41,920 --> 00:37:45,239
Speaker 1: where it was whoa, that just happened? Do you have

876
00:37:45,280 --> 00:37:47,400
Speaker 1: a one or two that stand out.

877
00:37:47,280 --> 00:37:50,080
Speaker 6: To you just just like being on the field with

878
00:37:50,239 --> 00:37:54,680
Speaker 6: Like I remember first preseason game being on the field

879
00:37:54,840 --> 00:37:56,960
Speaker 6: and watching Andy Dalton take off sprinting.

880
00:37:57,000 --> 00:38:00,760
Speaker 8: I'm like, dang, that dude's fast, Andy Dalton.

881
00:38:01,000 --> 00:38:03,640
Speaker 6: Like I'm in the NFL now, Like, these dudes are fast.

882
00:38:03,680 --> 00:38:06,040
Speaker 6: These dudes are different athletes, you know what I'm saying. Yeah,

883
00:38:06,160 --> 00:38:08,480
Speaker 6: And the apologies to Andy Dalton, I didn't That's okay.

884
00:38:08,520 --> 00:38:13,040
Speaker 3: It's pretty fast. I mean it's no, I mean I know, yeah,

885
00:38:13,160 --> 00:38:13,640
Speaker 3: it's okay.

886
00:38:13,760 --> 00:38:15,239
Speaker 2: In my mind for a minute, that's what the edit

887
00:38:15,280 --> 00:38:15,759
Speaker 2: button is for.

888
00:38:15,840 --> 00:38:19,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, Katie Texta's finest. You grew up in Pittsburgh, right,

889
00:38:19,520 --> 00:38:19,799
Speaker 4: that's right?

890
00:38:19,920 --> 00:38:20,120
Speaker 8: Yeah?

891
00:38:20,160 --> 00:38:21,439
Speaker 3: Okay, So how do you get the Notre Dame?

892
00:38:22,239 --> 00:38:22,719
Speaker 7: Uh?

893
00:38:22,880 --> 00:38:25,399
Speaker 6: You know, just to I mean, Notre Dame was about

894
00:38:25,440 --> 00:38:26,879
Speaker 6: it was about five and a half hour, six hour

895
00:38:26,960 --> 00:38:30,279
Speaker 6: drive away from Pittsburgh. I came down pretty much between

896
00:38:30,360 --> 00:38:32,439
Speaker 6: Notre Dame and Penn State. I really liked Penn State,

897
00:38:32,640 --> 00:38:34,760
Speaker 6: just their coaching staff and everything that they had to offer,

898
00:38:35,640 --> 00:38:37,479
Speaker 6: you know, being from Pennsylvania to be cool to play

899
00:38:37,520 --> 00:38:38,160
Speaker 6: for Penn State.

900
00:38:38,239 --> 00:38:38,399
Speaker 3: Right.

901
00:38:39,080 --> 00:38:41,080
Speaker 6: I went to note Name's camp and it was campus

902
00:38:41,080 --> 00:38:42,160
Speaker 6: and it was just like, I don't know, I just

903
00:38:42,160 --> 00:38:44,120
Speaker 6: feel like I was at home. It just felt comfortable.

904
00:38:44,520 --> 00:38:46,799
Speaker 6: Every loved the tradition, everything about it. And he would

905
00:38:46,800 --> 00:38:47,880
Speaker 6: you not love it? You know what I'm saying. So

906
00:38:47,960 --> 00:38:48,719
Speaker 6: that's pretty much it.

907
00:38:49,080 --> 00:38:52,000
Speaker 4: So in Notre Dame, I have a theory. But Notre Dame,

908
00:38:52,080 --> 00:38:55,200
Speaker 4: you were number forty one. Okay, why did you wear

909
00:38:55,280 --> 00:38:59,040
Speaker 4: number forty one? You were recruited as a what at

910
00:38:59,120 --> 00:39:01,680
Speaker 4: Notre Dame defense tackle? Okay, and you wore forty one

911
00:39:01,680 --> 00:39:04,040
Speaker 4: in high school, which means you played some fifty one

912
00:39:04,080 --> 00:39:05,960
Speaker 4: high school. Oh okay, So how'd you get forty one?

913
00:39:06,239 --> 00:39:10,279
Speaker 6: I was the forty first defensive tackle, uh ranked in

914
00:39:10,280 --> 00:39:11,040
Speaker 6: the United States.

915
00:39:11,200 --> 00:39:14,960
Speaker 2: That's why I picked Oh that got to pick? Wow?

916
00:39:15,120 --> 00:39:17,520
Speaker 6: I was ranked. I was ranked forty first. That was

917
00:39:17,680 --> 00:39:19,960
Speaker 6: that was the forty first ranked defensive tackle on ESPN.

918
00:39:20,160 --> 00:39:23,040
Speaker 6: Like the whatever the list one? Yeah there is three

919
00:39:24,080 --> 00:39:26,680
Speaker 6: irritated me. I feel I was a lot better than that.

920
00:39:27,320 --> 00:39:27,640
Speaker 3: Wow.

921
00:39:27,800 --> 00:39:29,319
Speaker 4: So that's why you picked for it because my theory

922
00:39:29,320 --> 00:39:31,400
Speaker 4: has always been when I see a defensive tackle. So

923
00:39:31,560 --> 00:39:33,400
Speaker 4: I was giving you credit for something that I shouldn't

924
00:39:33,400 --> 00:39:35,400
Speaker 4: have because when I would talk about you coming from

925
00:39:35,440 --> 00:39:37,120
Speaker 4: Notre Dame to hear I was like, look, he works

926
00:39:37,160 --> 00:39:37,560
Speaker 4: forty one.

927
00:39:37,600 --> 00:39:38,200
Speaker 3: That means he's this.

928
00:39:38,760 --> 00:39:40,799
Speaker 4: He was a he was a perimeter position player at

929
00:39:40,800 --> 00:39:43,040
Speaker 4: some point, so there's a higher level of athleticism.

930
00:39:43,280 --> 00:39:44,600
Speaker 3: Well, you're a pretty good athlete too.

931
00:39:44,640 --> 00:39:44,799
Speaker 7: Yeah.

932
00:39:44,840 --> 00:39:46,400
Speaker 8: Yah, I'm a good athlete.

933
00:39:47,400 --> 00:39:49,360
Speaker 3: But it was it was for a different reason, but

Speaker 1: Are you guys allowed in the interior line You can't

951
00:40:16,000 --> 00:40:18,600

952
00:40:18,640 --> 00:40:21,040
Speaker 1: a man card violation anyway for you guys, it's like

953
00:40:21,080 --> 00:40:22,800
