That 14 00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:38,120 Speaker 1: was those pretty interesting stuff. I didn't get a chance 15 00:00:38,159 --> 00:00:40,239 Speaker 1: to hear all of that because I was kind of 16 00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:42,159 Speaker 1: holding court over there with Whitney Merciless. As you were 17 00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:44,239 Speaker 1: talking with Hannah. Yeah, Cal said, oh yeah, you're just 18 00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:46,519 Speaker 1: gonna get rid of me to get Whitney Merciless on 19 00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:48,840 Speaker 1: the air, like he he felt like he was gonna 20 00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:51,000 Speaker 1: be benched for Whitney. Well, I got thrown off the 21 00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:53,360 Speaker 1: air for Hannaman Air so well only because we had 22 00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:57,560 Speaker 1: three headsets. We had three headsets, so but that should 23 00:00:57,600 --> 00:00:59,680 Speaker 1: always happened. I mean, if that ever comes to pass 24 00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:01,040 Speaker 1: and hands like I want to be on the air, 25 00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:05,040 Speaker 1: I know to just give my Mica. We just definitely 26 00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:06,479 Speaker 1: I don't know if she wanted to be on the air, 27 00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:07,959 Speaker 1: but she was on the air. Let's just put it 28 00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:10,320 Speaker 1: that way. And she did a great job. Yeah she can. 29 00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:11,640 Speaker 1: I always tell her, I'm like, you gotta be in 30 00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:14,319 Speaker 1: more videos, more radio, you gotta do more. She's like, 31 00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:18,399 Speaker 1: I'm I'm fine. So anyway, doesn't want to do it? Well, 32 00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:19,920 Speaker 1: I think she liked it, but you know that's not 33 00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:23,080 Speaker 1: her first priority, you know it is. We assume everybody 34 00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:25,959 Speaker 1: wants to be a broadcaster. We assume everybody wants to 35 00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:28,559 Speaker 1: be on the air, right, why wouldn't you? But that's true. 36 00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:29,920 Speaker 1: Once those people will say no, no no, no, no, I 37 00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:32,120 Speaker 1: don't want to Like my wife is that way He's like, no, no, no, 38 00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:33,840 Speaker 1: I don't want to do it. Once she would get 39 00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:36,600 Speaker 1: them on the air, then they would think you think 40 00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:39,080 Speaker 1: you get the bug. Well, I taught to cal yesterday 41 00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:41,720 Speaker 1: after the Wednesday interview and I said, Okay, great job. 42 00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:44,160 Speaker 1: Now five nights a week, six o'clock. We'll see you 43 00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:47,280 Speaker 1: in the Huntday Texans Radio studio. And he wasn't really 44 00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:49,480 Speaker 1: going for that. It was he wasn't down for that. 45 00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:52,080 Speaker 1: I think he's got other priorities. We are from six 46 00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:55,600 Speaker 1: to seven each and every night this week, and later 47 00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:57,480 Speaker 1: in the show we'll have Drew Doherty on. We did 48 00:01:57,480 --> 00:01:59,960 Speaker 1: a little in the lab talking about the new code 49 00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:02,880 Speaker 1: that have been added to the staff. We talked about 50 00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:06,000 Speaker 1: that on Cooler Talk today, Carl Smith probably the biggest 51 00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:08,160 Speaker 1: talking point people want to know that outside of Tim Kelly, 52 00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:10,519 Speaker 1: whether he'll called plays or not. What was your sense 53 00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:13,240 Speaker 1: Mark after we talked with Obie earlier this week about 54 00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:15,480 Speaker 1: about play calling going forward, where do you think that goes? 55 00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:19,040 Speaker 1: Oh about play calling? Well, it was interesting, Gut tell you. 56 00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:21,480 Speaker 1: Mike Gut tells me Bill O'Brien's gonna call the plays 57 00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:23,840 Speaker 1: on this football team. But he's also I think open 58 00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:25,760 Speaker 1: to different things. And I was talking about it with 59 00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:27,639 Speaker 1: the guys this morning. You know what people need to 60 00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:29,800 Speaker 1: understand is you know, and you know this better than 61 00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:33,480 Speaker 1: anybody who's listening here, is that you have going into 62 00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:36,200 Speaker 1: a particular game against that defense. The way you game 63 00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:38,560 Speaker 1: plan you have here are the third and short plays. 64 00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:40,880 Speaker 1: Third and short coming out, third and short going in, 65 00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:42,920 Speaker 1: third and short near the goal line. We have a 66 00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:45,600 Speaker 1: set of plays for each one, and so it's not 67 00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:48,639 Speaker 1: just you're not pulling it out of thin air when 68 00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:50,600 Speaker 1: you go into the game. When you come to third 69 00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:53,320 Speaker 1: and short against the Titans in week twelve, you know 70 00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:56,040 Speaker 1: you've gone over this stuff. So these are the selections 71 00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:58,120 Speaker 1: that you're gonna pick from. It's kind of multiple choice 72 00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:00,360 Speaker 1: and based on feeling things like that, because you know, 73 00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:02,720 Speaker 1: Bill O'Brien like some seat of the pants stuff as well. 74 00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:06,160 Speaker 1: Based on those things you call the place. So the 75 00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:09,160 Speaker 1: guy helping him organize all of that is gonna be 76 00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:12,240 Speaker 1: Tim Kelly, the offensive coordinator, so he'll have a big 77 00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:15,200 Speaker 1: hand in how these things are gonna go offensively. I mean, 78 00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:17,560 Speaker 1: because really it's not like anybody can call the game, 79 00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:20,040 Speaker 1: but you do so much preparation. What do you think 80 00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:21,800 Speaker 1: they're doing all week, folks, I mean, this is what 81 00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:23,840 Speaker 1: they're going over. And like I said, I just gave 82 00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:26,080 Speaker 1: you the third and short. What about third and ten? 83 00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:28,280 Speaker 1: We're down third and ten, we're up third. I mean 84 00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:31,200 Speaker 1: they go over every kind of situation and have a 85 00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:34,200 Speaker 1: set of plays that they can call within those circumstances. 86 00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:36,360 Speaker 1: I want you to expand on something, and I mentioned 87 00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:40,120 Speaker 1: this a little bit in cooler talk earlier. Today. You 88 00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:43,240 Speaker 1: don't have to give the name of the individual, but 89 00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:47,320 Speaker 1: you talked to a coordinator, a young coordinator was really 90 00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:50,360 Speaker 1: in his like second or third year, but a young coordinator, 91 00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:52,400 Speaker 1: and you talk to him at some point this year 92 00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:55,880 Speaker 1: about how difficult it is to be a coordinator in 93 00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:59,880 Speaker 1: the NFL. Yeah, very difficult. And I'll say who it was. 94 00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:03,840 Speaker 1: It's Rob Salo, defensive coordinator going into last season. Talking 95 00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:06,800 Speaker 1: to him. He was with the forty nine ers and 96 00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:08,880 Speaker 1: we were practicing with them, and he said, man, being 97 00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:11,920 Speaker 1: a coordinator is ridiculously difficult. The amount of preparation you 98 00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:13,760 Speaker 1: have to do. You have to be ready for every situation, 99 00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:16,760 Speaker 1: and then you're still not ready. Because I liken it 100 00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:20,040 Speaker 1: to certain other things in life, like getting ready for 101 00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:22,880 Speaker 1: a broadcast where it feels like it's subways you're never 102 00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:25,480 Speaker 1: really done, you know, even getting getting ready for one 103 00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:27,719 Speaker 1: of our broadcasts. You know, at some point you have 104 00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:30,120 Speaker 1: to say, all right, I'm good to go. But you 105 00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:32,800 Speaker 1: could always do more. There are so always more information 106 00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:34,600 Speaker 1: you can find out about players and things you can 107 00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:37,200 Speaker 1: sort of work in, especially in a TV broadcast. Johnny 108 00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:41,120 Speaker 1: as you know, so with coordinating. I mean, when do 109 00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:43,039 Speaker 1: you feel like you're done. I'll tell you this the 110 00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:44,680 Speaker 1: quick story. I think I've told it on the year 111 00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:48,240 Speaker 1: before in year three of Texans history the Chiefs. You're 112 00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:50,840 Speaker 1: at Kansas City and it was Marcus Coleman with the 113 00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:54,839 Speaker 1: coast to coast pick six and that's the longest interception 114 00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:56,840 Speaker 1: return of the history of the franchise, justin Reid as 115 00:04:56,880 --> 00:04:59,640 Speaker 1: the second longest that happened against Washington this year on 116 00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:04,120 Speaker 1: the road. But Vic Fangio talking about the last thing 117 00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:07,240 Speaker 1: he looked at the last He've tried so many different 118 00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:10,000 Speaker 1: things as far as prepping for that dick for meal 119 00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:12,720 Speaker 1: at the time, right coached Offenser the Chiefs and they 120 00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:14,680 Speaker 1: found one little play that they were running on a 121 00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:18,080 Speaker 1: goal line and they thought, well, maybe maybe this gets 122 00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:19,960 Speaker 1: into the game, and that was the one and Coleman 123 00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:21,880 Speaker 1: was ready for it because they worked on it like 124 00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:24,719 Speaker 1: can you imagine, like the last house on the left 125 00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:27,280 Speaker 1: was the one, and that was a game changing play 126 00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:30,720 Speaker 1: in that particular contest that look at the Chiefs score. 127 00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:33,360 Speaker 1: They're going in. It's a goal to ghost situation. The 128 00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:35,760 Speaker 1: game's over at that point, but that changed the course 129 00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:37,400 Speaker 1: of the game. So that just goes to show you 130 00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:41,760 Speaker 1: the my new details, the attention to the tiniest things 131 00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:43,800 Speaker 1: that could pay off at a game and really turn 132 00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:47,200 Speaker 1: your season around. And that's just the preparation leading up 133 00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:49,560 Speaker 1: to the game. Yeah, that's not talking about the three 134 00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:52,440 Speaker 1: hours during the game. I mean, well, that's where the 135 00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:54,120 Speaker 1: sleep comes in, right, This is where I always com 136 00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:56,640 Speaker 1: plain and I'm like, you better, coaches, I want you 137 00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:58,720 Speaker 1: to get your sleep. I want you get it to 138 00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:01,760 Speaker 1: get eight out. Who gets eight hours? Get she got 139 00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:05,560 Speaker 1: eight hours last night? She said off the wall about 140 00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:09,440 Speaker 1: so she's got eight hours plus caffeine. That should that 141 00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:12,480 Speaker 1: should be illegal. Forget that. I mean that that would 142 00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:15,640 Speaker 1: test you positive eight hours plus caffeine. But you get 143 00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:19,120 Speaker 1: into a Sunday and then it's about okay, it's about 144 00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:22,880 Speaker 1: making it's about making the adjustments. Yes, it's tweaking this, 145 00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:25,520 Speaker 1: and it's hey, we're seeing this. And I think a 146 00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:27,440 Speaker 1: lot of people will point to this most recent Super 147 00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:30,840 Speaker 1: Bowl and point to Josh McDaniels and say, hey, McDaniels 148 00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:33,760 Speaker 1: made this this switch. He used this personnel group twenty 149 00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:36,240 Speaker 1: two personnel basically two tight ends, two backs, and then 150 00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:38,320 Speaker 1: he spread the ramps to be run set that they 151 00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:41,200 Speaker 1: spread him out, and so it's those things in favorable matchup. 152 00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:43,960 Speaker 1: All that preparation that they did expecting the ramps to 153 00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:46,600 Speaker 1: do a certain thing really came to a head at 154 00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:50,119 Speaker 1: that particular moment, maybe not up until then. So whether 155 00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:52,600 Speaker 1: Tim calls the plays or doesn't call the plays as 156 00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:54,680 Speaker 1: the offensive coordinator, I don't know that I'm gonna lose 157 00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:59,000 Speaker 1: sleep over that, because what you now have is Bill O'Brian, 158 00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:01,360 Speaker 1: whether he's gonna call play or not. You got Tim Kelly, 159 00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:05,520 Speaker 1: who's couldna put the game plan together, obviously with a 160 00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:07,880 Speaker 1: collaboration of all the offensive coaches. But now you have 161 00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:10,560 Speaker 1: Carl Smith in the room as quarterbacks coach. You've got 162 00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:12,200 Speaker 1: t J. Yates is gonna be in there as an 163 00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:14,720 Speaker 1: offensive assistant. You got Will Long. You know those guys. 164 00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:16,680 Speaker 1: At least you know Tim and Will have been there 165 00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:19,600 Speaker 1: for a while. T J knows Deshaun. You know Carl's 166 00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:22,160 Speaker 1: coming into this call. But he's the father of Chasey Smith. 167 00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:25,960 Speaker 1: So there's a connection there and hopefully that that allows 168 00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:28,480 Speaker 1: a connectingness on the offense to happen. And look, it's 169 00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:30,720 Speaker 1: not as this. It was not as if this offense 170 00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:33,600 Speaker 1: couldn't put up points. Yeah, his offense could put up points. 171 00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:37,240 Speaker 1: It just has got to do it more consistently. And 172 00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:39,120 Speaker 1: if Deshan takes that next step with a lot of 173 00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:41,600 Speaker 1: other options and other things have to come to fruition'll 174 00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:43,640 Speaker 1: have to be pretty scary. How happy is Carl Smith 175 00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:45,600 Speaker 1: by the way, you get to come work with your son, 176 00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:48,920 Speaker 1: you get to see your grandchildren, and you're handed DeShawn 177 00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:52,000 Speaker 1: watching and you're working with DeShawn Watson. You know, I mean, 178 00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:55,080 Speaker 1: that could not go much better for him at this stage. 179 00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:58,239 Speaker 1: What a blessing for him to have all those things 180 00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:00,880 Speaker 1: going on and work with a quarter back that's so 181 00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:03,840 Speaker 1: good and is a sponge at that. As good as 182 00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:05,440 Speaker 1: he is, he still wants to learn more and get 183 00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:08,320 Speaker 1: better every day. And Smith, who has seen it, hull, 184 00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:10,880 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, Bobby Abert was on Sports Radio 185 00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:12,760 Speaker 1: six ten this week talking about Carols a bit. I 186 00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:15,600 Speaker 1: thought that was golden. That was well, anytime you have 187 00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:18,280 Speaker 1: Bobby a Bear on, it's gonna be fun. Yeah, And 188 00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:21,360 Speaker 1: you're only gonna probably recognize about sixty percent of the 189 00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:23,680 Speaker 1: things that he's saying. Made me long for the afternoon 190 00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:29,120 Speaker 1: show with the late Hooky guy. Johan and I heard 191 00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:32,079 Speaker 1: an interview with Bobby Abert and I think it was 192 00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:35,360 Speaker 1: Morton Anderson. It was I'm trying to think it was 193 00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:37,560 Speaker 1: that the Super Boy, I think one year and they 194 00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:40,440 Speaker 1: had Morton Anderson going Bobby Abart and I couldn't turn 195 00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:43,000 Speaker 1: it off. Yeah, it was like twenty minute. I don't 196 00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:45,360 Speaker 1: even know that they were speaking the same language, but 197 00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:47,360 Speaker 1: it was so interesting to listen to them talk the 198 00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:51,200 Speaker 1: Cajun tongue. Sometimes you have to exercise some patience, Mark, 199 00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:54,360 Speaker 1: I'm gonna. I thought, we got an interesting couple of questions, 200 00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:57,880 Speaker 1: and I'll kind of pull them into one. As you 201 00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:01,600 Speaker 1: think about the offense that finished the Sea, Yeah, throw 202 00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:04,200 Speaker 1: Fuller in there. Let's say Fullers, let's say Fullers back. Well, 203 00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:06,679 Speaker 1: maybe that's a big part of this. How do you 204 00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:10,040 Speaker 1: see the offense changing? What I mean, quarterback obviously not 205 00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:13,480 Speaker 1: going to change, But if there are three things that 206 00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:16,680 Speaker 1: happened for this offense or three changes in this offense, 207 00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:19,200 Speaker 1: We've already seen one with Tim Kelly taking as offensive coordinator. 208 00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:22,440 Speaker 1: One are the changes in particular personnel wise do you 209 00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:25,400 Speaker 1: think happened with this offense? Well, personnel wise, you want 210 00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:27,120 Speaker 1: to do whatever it takes to get better on the 211 00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:29,880 Speaker 1: offensive line, whether it's personnel or ski. I don't think 212 00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:31,720 Speaker 1: it's scheme. I just think that they have to figure 213 00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:34,800 Speaker 1: that out, Johnny, because, as you know, they want to 214 00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:37,160 Speaker 1: run the football, and look how important it is. Look 215 00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:39,120 Speaker 1: at the New England Patriots. How do you think they're 216 00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:41,600 Speaker 1: doing this. They're not doing it by throwing forty times. 217 00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:43,400 Speaker 1: I mean, Bratty could still do that, really, but you 218 00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:44,960 Speaker 1: have to protect him and what's the best way to 219 00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:47,000 Speaker 1: protect him. They've got a good ground game. I mean 220 00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:50,200 Speaker 1: they've played straight out smash math that points this season, 221 00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:52,040 Speaker 1: and they were able to run it for some key 222 00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:54,960 Speaker 1: chunks of the Super Bowl as well, and against the 223 00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:58,160 Speaker 1: Kansas City Chiefs even in the AFC Championship game. I 224 00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:00,439 Speaker 1: think running game is so crucial to the this team. 225 00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:02,960 Speaker 1: Remember it was going good for a while during that 226 00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:05,360 Speaker 1: nine game winning streak, and they were third in the 227 00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:07,280 Speaker 1: league at one point running the football, and then it's 228 00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:09,440 Speaker 1: sort of dried up, and that's when they got into 229 00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:12,079 Speaker 1: some trouble. They had to pull that Jets game out 230 00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:14,600 Speaker 1: of a hat. They did beat Jacksonville. They ran the 231 00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:16,120 Speaker 1: ball better in that one, but a lot of it 232 00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:18,000 Speaker 1: was Watson. They weren't able to run it the way 233 00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:20,120 Speaker 1: they wanted to against Philadelphia. You know, it just got 234 00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:22,280 Speaker 1: them into all sorts of trouble not being able to 235 00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:25,160 Speaker 1: run the football. They became two one dimensional. So they're 236 00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:27,760 Speaker 1: gonna figure that out because as you say, Fuller and 237 00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:30,400 Speaker 1: QT and Hopkins and oh my gosh, all the pass 238 00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:33,199 Speaker 1: catching options they have, that's great, great, great, but it 239 00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:37,559 Speaker 1: still necessitates running the football. You have to be able 240 00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:39,240 Speaker 1: to get it done somehow. Hey, you're not gonna be 241 00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:41,120 Speaker 1: able to do it every day, and sometimes they're gonna 242 00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:42,840 Speaker 1: be down, you're gonna have to come from behind, you're 243 00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:44,520 Speaker 1: gonna have to do whatever it takes through the air. 244 00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:47,560 Speaker 1: But I need to see better ground game performance. So 245 00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:50,400 Speaker 1: when you sit down and du vandermoch all, this is 246 00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:52,520 Speaker 1: the one that just sort of intrigues me because they're 247 00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:55,360 Speaker 1: two parts. Number one, when you sit down and du 248 00:10:55,480 --> 00:11:00,720 Speaker 1: vandermoch Yeah, at some point, will you mock a a 249 00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:04,760 Speaker 1: wide receiver to the Texans, be mock a running back 250 00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:07,200 Speaker 1: slash offensive weapon to the Yeah, I think I'll do 251 00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:10,160 Speaker 1: both actually, but those would be later. Yeah, I think 252 00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:12,520 Speaker 1: wide receiver is a definitive possibility. I know you talked 253 00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:14,880 Speaker 1: about it on Cooler Talk with dB. That's up on 254 00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:19,480 Speaker 1: all the social media platforms right now. But I've got 255 00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:21,960 Speaker 1: to have some insurance and wide receiver. I gotta have 256 00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:25,160 Speaker 1: who I wanted Damarus Thomas to be going into the 257 00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:28,320 Speaker 1: next year, which I'm assuming and maybe I shouldn't assume, 258 00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:31,320 Speaker 1: but I'm presuming that they wanted him to stick around 259 00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:34,240 Speaker 1: and be a contributor at the very least, and maybe 260 00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:38,079 Speaker 1: a big time contributor because I cannot rely. Ye know, 261 00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:40,480 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna sit here taught. Speaking of assuming, I 262 00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:42,320 Speaker 1: cannot assume that Fuller is going to be healthy the 263 00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:44,200 Speaker 1: whole season. I can't assume that Qt's going to be 264 00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:48,080 Speaker 1: healthy the whole season until they do that. And Hopkins, 265 00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:50,920 Speaker 1: he's barely missed. He hasn't missed anything. He missed one 266 00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:53,480 Speaker 1: game in his career, right He missed the Week seventeen 267 00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:58,560 Speaker 1: against the Colts. That was it in two seventeen. He 268 00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:01,920 Speaker 1: missed that game, and I'm thinking he was healthier going 269 00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:04,280 Speaker 1: into that game that he was in the playoff game 270 00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:06,760 Speaker 1: against the Colts. He missed it because it didn't matter. 271 00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:10,080 Speaker 1: You know, hes still wanted to play, but it was like, 272 00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:12,320 Speaker 1: all right, maybe we were better off sitting you down. 273 00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:15,920 Speaker 1: He was so bagged up against the Colts. So he's 274 00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:18,760 Speaker 1: advancing through his career. It's not old, but he's advancing 275 00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:21,000 Speaker 1: through his career here. So I think I still need 276 00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:22,880 Speaker 1: to get better. Maybe it's on the roster. You brought 277 00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:26,800 Speaker 1: up a Jester Wia. Maybe it's Vincent Smith maturing getting better, 278 00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:28,880 Speaker 1: maturing on the field, that is, because a great kid 279 00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:31,360 Speaker 1: getting better. Maybe it's one of those guys. But I 280 00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:34,280 Speaker 1: still think they're going to take a receiver at some point, Johnny, Yeah, 281 00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:36,640 Speaker 1: I think so too. The running back one to me, 282 00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:39,800 Speaker 1: and that's why I said running back slash offensive weapon 283 00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:44,280 Speaker 1: because I could see a way that the Texans add 284 00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:48,199 Speaker 1: a weapon. Maybe not a guy that plays running back 285 00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:49,760 Speaker 1: all the time. Maybe not a guy that plays wide 286 00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:52,120 Speaker 1: receiver all the time, but when you get him the 287 00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:55,080 Speaker 1: ball in his hands, he does something with him and 288 00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:59,280 Speaker 1: if you need, yeah, you need somebody to not to 289 00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:01,679 Speaker 1: say Jalen Amuels, but Jalen Samuels is the type of 290 00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:04,760 Speaker 1: player I think about because Jaylen Samuels was part tight end, 291 00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:07,240 Speaker 1: part running back, part full back at NC State. He 292 00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:10,280 Speaker 1: goes to Pittsburgh and when Pittsburgh had James Connor get hurt, 293 00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:12,480 Speaker 1: Samuel stepped right in running back. You know. So it's 294 00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:14,480 Speaker 1: a player that can do a lot of different things 295 00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:17,040 Speaker 1: for you. Swiss army knife. Yeah, that that really can 296 00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:19,240 Speaker 1: give you kind of those options. And you know, I 297 00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:21,120 Speaker 1: look at DeAndre Carter. I think if DeAndre were a 298 00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:23,760 Speaker 1: little bit better running back, that's the kind of player 299 00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:26,719 Speaker 1: I'm thinking about. It's a guy that could want to 300 00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:29,760 Speaker 1: I want him back. I do too. I mean, pencil 301 00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:31,880 Speaker 1: him in as my return man right now. I love 302 00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:33,880 Speaker 1: him as a return man. Yeah, go ahead, and he 303 00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:35,880 Speaker 1: can play some receiver for you as well in a pinch. 304 00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:38,400 Speaker 1: He's prosolutely. I'm fine with that. I think they got 305 00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:40,559 Speaker 1: a lot going for them, Johnny. It doesn't I'm not 306 00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:43,040 Speaker 1: gonna say O the one player away or whatever. But 307 00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:45,240 Speaker 1: this was a really good team. This team was really 308 00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:47,600 Speaker 1: clicking for a while. Gotta get back to that, gotta 309 00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:50,120 Speaker 1: get better otherwise you're getting worse. But they have a 310 00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:52,080 Speaker 1: lot to work with here. Yeah, there's no question. I 311 00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:55,800 Speaker 1: think getting fuller back is big. But if you're not 312 00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:57,920 Speaker 1: able to get him back early on in the season 313 00:13:57,920 --> 00:14:00,040 Speaker 1: and get him where he needs to be having a 314 00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:04,120 Speaker 1: speed element that he provides. Watching the Miami game and 315 00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:07,880 Speaker 1: seeing how Fuller changed things just by running by guys 316 00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:12,360 Speaker 1: was remarkable. Yeah, and I got to be so polished 317 00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:15,199 Speaker 1: as a rent runner. So I enjoyed that. Mark appreciate it. 318 00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:17,200 Speaker 1: Thank you very much. All right, coming up here a 319 00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:20,240 Speaker 1: little bit of In the Lab with me Andrew Dorty 320 00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:24,000 Speaker 1: next on Texans All Access.

Now, we've talked about 325 00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:43,920 Speaker 1: this a little bit this week and probably would have 326 00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:47,360 Speaker 1: done this a little bit more on Wednesday, but Wednesday 327 00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:49,840 Speaker 1: is my day. But we were at the Houston Sports Awards, 328 00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:51,400 Speaker 1: so market I did the show together. We had a 329 00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:53,480 Speaker 1: great time. We caught up with Witty Merciless, We caught 330 00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:56,480 Speaker 1: up with Brian Cushing and you'll hear in the next segment, 331 00:14:56,760 --> 00:14:59,280 Speaker 1: Mark at a chance catch up with Hannah and Kal mcgaron. 332 00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:00,880 Speaker 1: We only had three my your phone, so I had 333 00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:02,840 Speaker 1: to bump off, but it was good to listen to 334 00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:06,120 Speaker 1: what Cal and Hannah had to say about things going 335 00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:08,400 Speaker 1: on with football team, things they were looking forward to. 336 00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:10,160 Speaker 1: And they were there at the Houston Sports Awards because 337 00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:13,280 Speaker 1: the Texas were up for Sports Moment of the Year 338 00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:16,400 Speaker 1: for the Monday night win against the Tennessee Titans. Now 339 00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:18,720 Speaker 1: that ended up going to North Shore High School. Congratulations 340 00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:21,320 Speaker 1: to them the Hail Mary that they had in a 341 00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:23,640 Speaker 1: championship game, which, by the way, that game, if you 342 00:15:23,640 --> 00:15:25,680 Speaker 1: didn't see it, I think you can get it on 343 00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:30,040 Speaker 1: YouTube or somewhere against Duncanville. Oh my gosh. It was unbelievable. 344 00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:32,400 Speaker 1: And by the way, North Short's goot some ballers. But 345 00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:35,520 Speaker 1: that's not unusual, you know that if you fill high 346 00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:39,400 Speaker 1: school football in anyway, shape or form. But in the 347 00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:42,320 Speaker 1: Lab podcast this week, Drew Doherty, we talked a lot 348 00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:44,680 Speaker 1: about the coaches, and we've talked about that through this week. 349 00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:46,240 Speaker 1: But the one of the things that Drew is gonna 350 00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:47,960 Speaker 1: do each week on in the Lab, He's gonna start 351 00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:51,840 Speaker 1: with tell me about because he wants to know about 352 00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:55,560 Speaker 1: a particular draft prospect, and that's his way of doing it, 353 00:15:56,040 --> 00:16:00,320 Speaker 1: So tell me about today. It is Juwan Taylor's Florida 354 00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:02,840 Speaker 1: offensive tackle. You're gonna spend about two minutes talking about 355 00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:05,360 Speaker 1: who he is because he was mocked to the Texans 356 00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:09,080 Speaker 1: five different times in the latest mock draft survey, which 357 00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:12,040 Speaker 1: I released yesterday. And as you would guess, out of 358 00:16:12,040 --> 00:16:13,920 Speaker 1: twenty two mock drafts, that number is gonna grow. We're 359 00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:15,520 Speaker 1: gonna have more mock drafts when it's all said and 360 00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:19,640 Speaker 1: done to evaluate. But out of twenty two different mock drafts, 361 00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:22,800 Speaker 1: he was named on five of them, and seventeen of 362 00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:26,280 Speaker 1: twenty two had the Texans taking an offensive tackle. At 363 00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:30,400 Speaker 1: twenty three overall, four guys had DeAndre Baker from Georgia 364 00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:33,600 Speaker 1: and Byron Murphy from Washington. The corners they're going to 365 00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:35,920 Speaker 1: the Texans. And then for some reason, Bucky Brooks had 366 00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:37,840 Speaker 1: no afan of tight end coming here. But I don't 367 00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:40,920 Speaker 1: see that happening. I think Bucky's probably gonna change his 368 00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:43,880 Speaker 1: his mock once it's all said and done. But anyways, John, 369 00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:46,000 Speaker 1: tell me about Joan Taylor. Well, first of all, the 370 00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:49,600 Speaker 1: no A fan thing I've seen that I saw Bucky's 371 00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:52,320 Speaker 1: mock and I'm like, WHOA. And usually you know, Bucky's 372 00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:55,600 Speaker 1: pretty good. Yeah, I'm not gonna I'm not gonna deride 373 00:16:55,640 --> 00:16:57,720 Speaker 1: him and say he's he's more. I just don't think. 374 00:16:57,760 --> 00:17:00,680 Speaker 1: I don't think it's gonna stick. You know't put together 375 00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:03,360 Speaker 1: these mock drafts or not. You know, especially big name guys. 376 00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:05,399 Speaker 1: I know the time that goes into those things. I 377 00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:07,480 Speaker 1: know the time that I put into mind. I know 378 00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:11,440 Speaker 1: the time the guys put into theirs. So I think 379 00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:14,760 Speaker 1: sometimes guys don't ultimately dive deeper than they need to. 380 00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:19,200 Speaker 1: They just look at, hey, what could Deshaun Watson use? 381 00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:21,840 Speaker 1: And then as you do it, you realize all the 382 00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:24,080 Speaker 1: tackles that you had or you thought you could put 383 00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:26,600 Speaker 1: with the Texans will be off the board. So either way, 384 00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:28,680 Speaker 1: that's a little bit of the side. Juan Taylor played 385 00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:30,679 Speaker 1: at Coco High School. Then I bring it up because 386 00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:34,040 Speaker 1: my buddy was a defense coordinator there when John Juan 387 00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:37,040 Speaker 1: was there, they crossed over for a year. My buddy, 388 00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:39,400 Speaker 1: Lance Jenkets had been the head coach at New Samirna Beach. 389 00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:43,000 Speaker 1: He coached guys like Dakoda Dixon who's at University Wisconsin, 390 00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:46,680 Speaker 1: another safety at the University North Carolina. So he's had 391 00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:49,359 Speaker 1: he knows good players. He knows good players, and he 392 00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:52,520 Speaker 1: went down to Coco and he coached Juan Taylor. So 393 00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:57,200 Speaker 1: I know that Juan Taylor got and this isn't always 394 00:17:57,200 --> 00:17:59,160 Speaker 1: the case in high school. You known't always get great 395 00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:01,159 Speaker 1: coaching in high school, get a lot of athletes, but 396 00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:03,600 Speaker 1: sometimes that doesn't always come together with a co coach. 397 00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:06,480 Speaker 1: John Wilkinson was a head coach and he and Lance 398 00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:08,680 Speaker 1: were good buddies and they grew up together from Merritt 399 00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:11,359 Speaker 1: Island Merritt Oles where Derek Brown long time tight end 400 00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:14,240 Speaker 1: for Notre Dame and then first round draft pick Marred 401 00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:16,880 Speaker 1: Odlands spent a lot of players and right John Hayes 402 00:18:16,920 --> 00:18:19,560 Speaker 1: former striking Yeah, John Hayes came out of Maritte Island WW. 403 00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:22,400 Speaker 1: So some good coaching and some good players out of there. 404 00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:24,040 Speaker 1: And that was the first thing that stood out, like 405 00:18:24,359 --> 00:18:25,879 Speaker 1: where he came from, the coach and he got in 406 00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:27,879 Speaker 1: high school and then he goes to the University of 407 00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:31,560 Speaker 1: Florida this past year. I think what's interesting about this 408 00:18:31,880 --> 00:18:36,080 Speaker 1: if I remember correctly, Dan mullins offensive coordinator slash offensive 409 00:18:36,119 --> 00:18:40,040 Speaker 1: line coach is John Hevsey. Heaviessey hit been the offensive 410 00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:44,879 Speaker 1: line coach slash offensive coordinator at Mississippi State. Obviously we 411 00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:47,240 Speaker 1: know about Mississippi State and a connection it has, so 412 00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:48,960 Speaker 1: I would think Jowanna Taylor is gonna be on the 413 00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:51,560 Speaker 1: radar screen. He played right tackle for University of Florida. 414 00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:54,520 Speaker 1: Florida had a high way John Texas can't take a 415 00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:57,800 Speaker 1: right tackle, they gotta take a left tackle. Right. Well, wrong, Well, 416 00:18:57,840 --> 00:19:00,240 Speaker 1: the reason that he played right tackle is that would 417 00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:03,600 Speaker 1: have had a five star, five star recruit, not that 418 00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:06,960 Speaker 1: Juan wasn't, but then five star recruit Martez Ivy, and 419 00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:09,240 Speaker 1: I think that they looked at Ivy at different spots 420 00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:12,240 Speaker 1: and they eventually said, look, I he's probably best suited 421 00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:15,320 Speaker 1: to play the left side. But the one thing that 422 00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:17,720 Speaker 1: I think, and this will be interesting in this draft, 423 00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:19,920 Speaker 1: I've gotten kind of trying to get away from the 424 00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:22,560 Speaker 1: left side right side, because look, if you can't protect 425 00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:24,880 Speaker 1: the left side, then how you can protect the right side. 426 00:19:24,920 --> 00:19:26,199 Speaker 1: If you can't protect the right side, how you can 427 00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:28,320 Speaker 1: protect the r left side. And I know that some 428 00:19:28,359 --> 00:19:31,520 Speaker 1: people will say, well, hey, the rushers, you know, you 429 00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:34,080 Speaker 1: know the best rusher you put on the other side, Well, 430 00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:38,560 Speaker 1: where was JJ? He was over the left side almost 431 00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:40,879 Speaker 1: the entire time over the right tackle. So I just 432 00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:43,040 Speaker 1: think you've got to be able to play tackle. Thenk 433 00:19:43,080 --> 00:19:46,040 Speaker 1: Juan has that. He's good size, he's a good athlete, 434 00:19:46,080 --> 00:19:49,080 Speaker 1: he moves pretty well. He's got a nasty disposition. I 435 00:19:49,080 --> 00:19:50,760 Speaker 1: mean in the run game, he is trying to bury 436 00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:53,680 Speaker 1: guys in the past game. I thought the one thing 437 00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:56,879 Speaker 1: about his past protection to me watching him earlier in 438 00:19:56,880 --> 00:19:59,520 Speaker 1: the year and watching him later in the year, I 439 00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:01,000 Speaker 1: don't see he looked like a different guy. But he 440 00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:03,120 Speaker 1: looked like he was much improved. He just got more comfortable, 441 00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:05,320 Speaker 1: it felt like. But I watched him against Kentucky against 442 00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:09,000 Speaker 1: Josh Allen. Josh Allen's throwing spin moves, Taylor's locking him 443 00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:11,200 Speaker 1: up and tried to hit him with some speed dip 444 00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:13,880 Speaker 1: and rip off the edge, and Taylor locked him up. 445 00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:16,440 Speaker 1: And you know, Taylor had that opportunity this year to 446 00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:19,000 Speaker 1: go against some really good rushers, to face Brian Burns 447 00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:20,840 Speaker 1: from Florida Stata. Watch that game too, and Burns and 448 00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:24,560 Speaker 1: nothing against Taylor. He went against Josh Allen. Now, Allen 449 00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:26,960 Speaker 1: will move around for Kentucky, so he didn't get him 450 00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:28,520 Speaker 1: all game, but he got him enough of that game. 451 00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:32,600 Speaker 1: But I think Juan Taylor could step into either tackle 452 00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:34,640 Speaker 1: spots and be a guy for you that starts right away. 453 00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:37,320 Speaker 1: I think that's a good pick of twenty three. I honestly, 454 00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:40,040 Speaker 1: I don't think he gets the twenty three. He's better 455 00:20:40,040 --> 00:20:41,800 Speaker 1: than that you think. I think that he's gonna be. 456 00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:44,679 Speaker 1: It's not so much that he's I think when my 457 00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:46,919 Speaker 1: top one hundred comes out, he's probably gonna be somewhere 458 00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:50,240 Speaker 1: between probably seventeen to twenty three, somewhere in that range. 459 00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:54,440 Speaker 1: How teams are picking right well, that happens on runs, 460 00:20:54,560 --> 00:20:57,400 Speaker 1: you know, like do quarterbacks get taken more? Quarterbacks could 461 00:20:57,400 --> 00:20:59,800 Speaker 1: taken less. Exactly. It's not a great quarterback class. But 462 00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:02,320 Speaker 1: that's sometimes change absolutely, And then it comes down to 463 00:21:02,359 --> 00:21:05,720 Speaker 1: free agency. What you're doing free agency, it could precipitate, 464 00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:07,320 Speaker 1: you know, if you lose a guy. Also, the team 465 00:21:07,320 --> 00:21:09,160 Speaker 1: that you're not thinking about needing a tackle might need 466 00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:11,600 Speaker 1: a tackle, So you gotta play all that into account. 467 00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:13,959 Speaker 1: I think he's I think he's in the top I 468 00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:16,239 Speaker 1: think he's in the top twenty five of players in 469 00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:20,240 Speaker 1: this draft. But I think because the tackle position is 470 00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:25,399 Speaker 1: desperately needed in a few places, I think his services 471 00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:28,679 Speaker 1: are going to be definitely desired. Now the good thing 472 00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:31,000 Speaker 1: about the tackle position, and we'll talk about him. Your 473 00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:34,520 Speaker 1: guys like Greg Little and Jonah Williams from Alabama and 474 00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:39,000 Speaker 1: Greg Little from Old Miss and Juan Taylor, there are 475 00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:41,359 Speaker 1: some there are some options. Last year I did not 476 00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:43,679 Speaker 1: like the options a tackle. I really didn't. You just 477 00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:46,400 Speaker 1: name those guys and then others who have shown up 478 00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:49,480 Speaker 1: on the mock draft survey, which doesn't mean that they're 479 00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:52,200 Speaker 1: going to be around that area. But we've heard Washington States, 480 00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:55,720 Speaker 1: Andre Dillard. Yeah, We've heard Yanni could Just from West Virginia. 481 00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:58,480 Speaker 1: And we also have heard Coody Ford from Oklahoma. Yeah, 482 00:21:58,520 --> 00:22:00,359 Speaker 1: there's been some names that have popped up. Yeah, and 483 00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:03,200 Speaker 1: not to mention Reisener from from Kansas State at the 484 00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:05,280 Speaker 1: Senior Bowl. Yeah, exactly, and that's another one. I mean 485 00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:08,280 Speaker 1: you just you just named a few, and look Ford 486 00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:10,680 Speaker 1: and Riisener. I think some teams will look at Ford 487 00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:13,879 Speaker 1: as a as a guard. Cody Ford's a heck of 488 00:22:13,880 --> 00:22:15,760 Speaker 1: a player. I've seen him as high as five on 489 00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:18,720 Speaker 1: some mock drafts. I've seen him all the way into 490 00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:21,960 Speaker 1: the second round for a team maybe moved to guard. 491 00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:24,760 Speaker 1: Our good friend Lance Airline. I texted Lance just kind 492 00:22:24,760 --> 00:22:27,040 Speaker 1: of on some different things, and and I wanted to 493 00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:28,600 Speaker 1: see who he has mock and I think he had 494 00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:30,600 Speaker 1: Greg Little And I said, well, where did you have 495 00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:32,040 Speaker 1: these guys? And I kind of gave it to him. 496 00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:33,760 Speaker 1: He said, why I had Ford going to the Vikings 497 00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:36,720 Speaker 1: as a guard because the Vikings need offensive alignment, so 498 00:22:37,359 --> 00:22:39,800 Speaker 1: they're and they're picking ahead of the Texans. So from 499 00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:42,439 Speaker 1: that standpoint, I think it's gonna be really interesting. But 500 00:22:42,520 --> 00:22:45,320 Speaker 1: at least there are some options. If you don't find 501 00:22:45,400 --> 00:22:48,720 Speaker 1: something in free agency, if that's indeed what you're looking at, 502 00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:52,359 Speaker 1: you've already locked up Seanchrelle Henderson. We'll see what happens 503 00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:55,639 Speaker 1: with Kenna Lamb in free agency. Then you have an 504 00:22:55,640 --> 00:22:58,560 Speaker 1: opportunity sitting at twenty three, and you have ammunition, yeah, 505 00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:00,920 Speaker 1: because you got those two second round pick. I don't 506 00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:02,400 Speaker 1: know if there'll be a guy that they just fall 507 00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:04,080 Speaker 1: in love with, but I think the fact that there 508 00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:07,480 Speaker 1: are options with offensive tackles and just opens a linement. 509 00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:10,120 Speaker 1: In general, there are options, Yeah, So I think from 510 00:23:10,119 --> 00:23:11,919 Speaker 1: that standpoint, you gotta feel pretty good about what's going 511 00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:13,920 Speaker 1: to be there. Potentially at twenty three. That's you're gonna 512 00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:16,240 Speaker 1: get a pretty good pass protective, pretty good offensive lineman 513 00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:17,800 Speaker 1: there at that spot, and I like what we saw 514 00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:20,320 Speaker 1: from this front office group and what they did last 515 00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:23,200 Speaker 1: year in the draft with very very limited resources in 516 00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:25,399 Speaker 1: comparison what we have now. Of course, I would love 517 00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:27,359 Speaker 1: to see Juan Taylor here with the Texans because then 518 00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:30,320 Speaker 1: I could ask him stories about my buddy who I 519 00:23:30,359 --> 00:23:33,040 Speaker 1: coached in high school with many, many, many eons ago. 520 00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:36,240 Speaker 1: But this draft, and it was a question that we 521 00:23:36,280 --> 00:23:40,720 Speaker 1: got asked today on Cooler Talk, this draft has some tackles. Now. 522 00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:42,240 Speaker 1: I mentioned at the very end there a couple of 523 00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:45,440 Speaker 1: guys Cody Ford and Dalton Riiser, some they are considering 524 00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:49,080 Speaker 1: them moving them to guard, and that will depend. Last year, 525 00:23:49,119 --> 00:23:51,280 Speaker 1: I think the Colts drafted Brydon Smith the thought that 526 00:23:51,280 --> 00:23:52,719 Speaker 1: he was gonna move the guard, and then they just 527 00:23:53,080 --> 00:23:56,720 Speaker 1: realized they had a dearth of tackles and they were like, look, 528 00:23:56,720 --> 00:23:58,280 Speaker 1: you gotta go at the right tackle. You ended up 529 00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:01,760 Speaker 1: being first team All Rookie team playing tackle. And Chris 530 00:24:01,880 --> 00:24:04,040 Speaker 1: Pallard will readily admit, yeah, he thought he was gonna 531 00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:05,639 Speaker 1: be a guard, but they need him at tackle. He 532 00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:08,359 Speaker 1: moved out to tackle. That could happen for the Texans. Maybe, 533 00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:11,800 Speaker 1: maybe down the road, but we'll see maybe it happens. 534 00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:14,240 Speaker 1: It happened in reverse from Martinez rankin where they had 535 00:24:14,280 --> 00:24:16,359 Speaker 1: to play him at tackle, but they really know that 536 00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:19,760 Speaker 1: he's better suited to play guard going forward. Who knows. 537 00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:23,520 Speaker 1: But the names that we brought up and that I 538 00:24:23,600 --> 00:24:26,679 Speaker 1: talked about, I didn't even mention Jonah Williams from Alabama. 539 00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:29,639 Speaker 1: I think he'll probably be gone. But Jonah Williams, Juan Taylor, 540 00:24:29,760 --> 00:24:34,800 Speaker 1: Andre Dillard, those guys right right off the bat stand 541 00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:37,560 Speaker 1: out than the Cody Fords, Dalton Reisner's, those guys, but 542 00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:40,520 Speaker 1: even guys at Laura levels. Titus Howard is a heck 543 00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:42,720 Speaker 1: of a player from Alabama State, whale of an athlete, 544 00:24:43,480 --> 00:24:45,120 Speaker 1: and then he struggled a little bit at Senior Bowl, 545 00:24:45,280 --> 00:24:48,840 Speaker 1: especially up front first day. But he's going against Montes 546 00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:51,439 Speaker 1: Sweat from Misissippi State, so that's a little different. All Right, 547 00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:54,440 Speaker 1: we get back. We're gonna talk to Cal and Hannah 548 00:24:54,520 --> 00:24:58,000 Speaker 1: McNair markets chance catch up with them at the Houston 549 00:24:58,240 --> 00:25:01,479 Speaker 1: Sports Awards. Interesting stuff and some fun stuff to hear 550 00:25:01,480 --> 00:25:02,800 Speaker 1: from both of them. We'll do that extra here in 551 00:25:02,840 --> 00:25:06,720 Speaker 1: Texans All Access. Welcome back to our final segment of 552 00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:10,520 Speaker 1: Texans All Access on this Friday evening from Monday Texas 553 00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:13,479 Speaker 1: Radio Studio. I'm your host, John Harris. Glad to be 554 00:25:13,520 --> 00:25:15,639 Speaker 1: with you, and obviously in All Access, we're gonna do 555 00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:20,720 Speaker 1: a lot throughout this offseason, whether it's talking about this team, 556 00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:23,640 Speaker 1: talking about the division AFC South, which is gonna be 557 00:25:24,119 --> 00:25:27,040 Speaker 1: very interesting going forward. I actually read an article today, 558 00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:31,040 Speaker 1: I think it was SI. They pulled their NFL writers 559 00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:35,760 Speaker 1: and they predicted the teams that would win the next 560 00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:39,840 Speaker 1: five Super Bowls. And what got my attention was the 561 00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:41,800 Speaker 1: picture that they put with the tweet and then they 562 00:25:41,840 --> 00:25:44,520 Speaker 1: had the link obviously, and it had the Browns of 563 00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:46,680 Speaker 1: Chiefs and the Colts, and I was like, well, you're 564 00:25:46,680 --> 00:25:49,640 Speaker 1: missing an AFC team. I take that in the next 565 00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:52,320 Speaker 1: five years of Texans going to the Super Bowl winning 566 00:25:52,320 --> 00:25:55,199 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl, and what I what I found interesting. 567 00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:58,920 Speaker 1: And they went through and they they had I can't 568 00:25:58,920 --> 00:26:03,280 Speaker 1: remember how many writers they had that predicted that particular thing. 569 00:26:03,320 --> 00:26:06,399 Speaker 1: But the Jaguars got no votes, the Titans got no votes, 570 00:26:06,600 --> 00:26:09,000 Speaker 1: the Colts got three. If they would win a Super 571 00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:11,600 Speaker 1: Bowl in the next five years, I guarantee you'd done 572 00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:13,760 Speaker 1: last year, the Colts wouldn't have gotten any and the 573 00:26:13,840 --> 00:26:16,920 Speaker 1: Jaguars would have I think, gotten some, but the Texas 574 00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:19,119 Speaker 1: didn't get any either, which I thought was interesting. The 575 00:26:19,200 --> 00:26:22,720 Speaker 1: Chiefs ended up getting the highest number of votes fourteen, 576 00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:28,160 Speaker 1: the Patriots had the second most at ten, and that 577 00:26:28,280 --> 00:26:30,240 Speaker 1: I think it shows you a couple of things. Number one, 578 00:26:30,280 --> 00:26:32,080 Speaker 1: the power of Patrick Mahomes and what he's brought to 579 00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:35,239 Speaker 1: Kansas City. And I think it's also recently buys too 580 00:26:35,320 --> 00:26:38,119 Speaker 1: because last year, how many times did you see Jacksonville 581 00:26:38,160 --> 00:26:41,560 Speaker 1: Jaguars as a team that was gonna be one to 582 00:26:41,600 --> 00:26:45,080 Speaker 1: be reckoned with in the future. Obviously the Jaguars didn't 583 00:26:45,119 --> 00:26:48,720 Speaker 1: get there, definitely not at twenty eighteen, but they fell 584 00:26:48,760 --> 00:26:51,240 Speaker 1: off the face of the earth. The fact that twenteen 585 00:26:51,280 --> 00:26:53,840 Speaker 1: Jags looked more like the fourteen fifteen, sixteen Jags than 586 00:26:53,840 --> 00:26:56,159 Speaker 1: they did in twenty seventeen Jags. But it also goes 587 00:26:56,200 --> 00:26:57,840 Speaker 1: to show the power of a quarterback and obviously the 588 00:26:57,880 --> 00:27:01,320 Speaker 1: MVP of the league, Patrick Mahomes had an outstanding year 589 00:27:01,480 --> 00:27:04,160 Speaker 1: for Kansas City. And as I talked and people asked 590 00:27:04,200 --> 00:27:07,360 Speaker 1: me about this, as I have done different interviews since 591 00:27:07,400 --> 00:27:09,480 Speaker 1: the playoffs began, and they asked me about Patrick Mahomes 592 00:27:09,520 --> 00:27:11,480 Speaker 1: and Shaun Watson Obviously one was taking tens when I 593 00:27:11,560 --> 00:27:15,479 Speaker 1: was taking twelve, and what was the difference? And obviously 594 00:27:15,480 --> 00:27:17,760 Speaker 1: to Sean had a really great start to his rookie 595 00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:20,080 Speaker 1: campaign before he got hurt against Seattle, and Patrick had 596 00:27:20,119 --> 00:27:23,520 Speaker 1: a great year. But the one thing that Patrick came into, 597 00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:27,560 Speaker 1: Patrick was essentially dropped into a situation that was established 598 00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:30,919 Speaker 1: on the offensive line. You look at the players on 599 00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:33,240 Speaker 1: Kansas City's offensive line and they've been together for a 600 00:27:33,240 --> 00:27:36,840 Speaker 1: little while. And then you look at Travis Kelsey arguably 601 00:27:36,880 --> 00:27:39,679 Speaker 1: the best tight ending the league, Tyreek Hill, I don't know, 602 00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:42,560 Speaker 1: it's arguable he's the most explosive weapon in the league. 603 00:27:42,840 --> 00:27:44,840 Speaker 1: You got those two. Now, Kareem Hunt was there, but 604 00:27:44,920 --> 00:27:46,560 Speaker 1: the running game didn't change the whole heck of a 605 00:27:46,600 --> 00:27:49,119 Speaker 1: lot when Damian Williams took over as running back. So 606 00:27:49,280 --> 00:27:51,600 Speaker 1: there was a running game aspect there. So there was 607 00:27:51,600 --> 00:27:54,440 Speaker 1: already continuity there. And then you take out a guy 608 00:27:54,440 --> 00:27:57,879 Speaker 1: like Alex Smith who was a little bit more prone 609 00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:01,760 Speaker 1: to be safe with the football. Patrick Mahomes gonna let 610 00:28:01,800 --> 00:28:04,159 Speaker 1: it fly a little bit. So not too surprising that 611 00:28:04,240 --> 00:28:05,840 Speaker 1: Kansas City got a lot of love in that. Who 612 00:28:05,840 --> 00:28:10,399 Speaker 1: would win the next five Super Bowls? And it was. 613 00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:12,440 Speaker 1: I think it was an interesting exercise, but I think 614 00:28:12,480 --> 00:28:17,199 Speaker 1: that's so incredibly difficult because seeing Kansas City get that 615 00:28:17,240 --> 00:28:20,840 Speaker 1: many votes and being in the AFC, seeing the Colts 616 00:28:20,840 --> 00:28:23,000 Speaker 1: get some votes to Cleveland Browns I think ended up 617 00:28:23,040 --> 00:28:26,040 Speaker 1: getting a vote maybe two, and the Texas not getting any. 618 00:28:26,119 --> 00:28:28,240 Speaker 1: But again, I think a lot of that just has 619 00:28:28,280 --> 00:28:32,040 Speaker 1: to do with how the Texans finished against Indianapolis Colts. 620 00:28:32,040 --> 00:28:34,160 Speaker 1: The Colts and Texans being in the same division, there's 621 00:28:34,200 --> 00:28:36,120 Speaker 1: gonna be a tough division. I mentioned a few times. 622 00:28:36,160 --> 00:28:38,560 Speaker 1: I've talked to Chris Ballard, the GM of the Indianapolis Colts, 623 00:28:38,560 --> 00:28:40,120 Speaker 1: for a long while when we were at the Senior Bowl, 624 00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:42,440 Speaker 1: and the one thing that we both agreed on, and 625 00:28:42,520 --> 00:28:44,320 Speaker 1: we agree on a lot, but the one thing we 626 00:28:44,360 --> 00:28:46,800 Speaker 1: definitely agreed on was the strength of division going forward 627 00:28:47,120 --> 00:28:49,520 Speaker 1: is not like it was back in fourteen, fifteen to sixteen. 628 00:28:49,880 --> 00:28:54,000 Speaker 1: It's a definitely different division and we'll see what Jacksonville 629 00:28:54,080 --> 00:28:56,840 Speaker 1: does to change it now that presumably Blake Bortles won't 630 00:28:56,840 --> 00:28:59,640 Speaker 1: be the quarterback, but we'll talk about that throughout the year. 631 00:28:59,680 --> 00:29:02,360 Speaker 1: We'll talk talk about the strength of the AFC, but 632 00:29:02,560 --> 00:29:05,720 Speaker 1: imagine the Patriots are still up there. But what changes 633 00:29:05,800 --> 00:29:09,120 Speaker 1: for them in New England, Does Rob Gronkowski come back? 634 00:29:09,160 --> 00:29:12,719 Speaker 1: What free agents, do the Patriots end up losing? How 635 00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:14,600 Speaker 1: much longer as Brady have? You know, So we'll talk 636 00:29:14,600 --> 00:29:17,320 Speaker 1: about any and all of that throughout the rest of 637 00:29:17,360 --> 00:29:20,080 Speaker 1: all access. I mentioned this our cooler talk. We'll go 638 00:29:20,120 --> 00:29:22,600 Speaker 1: to the Combine. I think it's the twenty sixth of February, 639 00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:24,960 Speaker 1: so we'll be up there and we'll definitely talk more 640 00:29:25,080 --> 00:29:26,840 Speaker 1: draft that week, but we'll have a lot of people 641 00:29:26,880 --> 00:29:30,360 Speaker 1: that we can talk about talk too. Up in Indianapolis. 642 00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:32,600 Speaker 1: I'm sure we'll catch up with the voices of the 643 00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:36,320 Speaker 1: AFC South, Bob Socie and I'm not Bob, Mike Keith 644 00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:40,240 Speaker 1: with the Tennessee Titans, and Matt Taylor just named the 645 00:29:40,400 --> 00:29:42,760 Speaker 1: permanent play by play man up Indianapolis. I was so 646 00:29:42,760 --> 00:29:44,920 Speaker 1: happy for him. Matt's an unbelievable guy and I'm happy 647 00:29:44,920 --> 00:29:46,400 Speaker 1: for him getting that job. And then of course our 648 00:29:46,440 --> 00:29:48,680 Speaker 1: buddy Frank Franngie don at Jackson. I'm sure we'll catch 649 00:29:48,760 --> 00:29:50,160 Speaker 1: up with all of them at the Combine. We'll catch 650 00:29:50,240 --> 00:29:52,479 Speaker 1: up with Brian Gaine, maybe Ole Brian at the Combine. 651 00:29:52,520 --> 00:29:54,440 Speaker 1: I'm assuming that would be the next time that we 652 00:29:54,440 --> 00:29:57,120 Speaker 1: would hear them talk is then, and then a week 653 00:29:57,160 --> 00:29:59,800 Speaker 1: after that the new league year starts. At least it 654 00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:02,880 Speaker 1: hampering period starts. I think the official start of the 655 00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:07,000 Speaker 1: league year is March thirteenth at four eastern, three Central, 656 00:30:07,520 --> 00:30:10,680 Speaker 1: so that's when free agency kicks in. Now. It doesn't 657 00:30:10,800 --> 00:30:13,080 Speaker 1: mean that Texans won't be doing things in free agency 658 00:30:13,160 --> 00:30:15,719 Speaker 1: prior to, but it would just be their own players 659 00:30:15,720 --> 00:30:19,120 Speaker 1: from twenty eighteen making decisions on them and getting them signed. 660 00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:22,080 Speaker 1: Of course, the one that I think is got A 661 00:30:22,480 --> 00:30:24,840 Speaker 1: is a little bit more complex. Other than will he signed, 662 00:30:24,840 --> 00:30:26,560 Speaker 1: will he won't sign? As to DEBI on Clowney, because 663 00:30:26,560 --> 00:30:29,640 Speaker 1: there are some mechanisms available to the Texans financially that 664 00:30:29,680 --> 00:30:31,720 Speaker 1: they can use, and there might be some WI doesn't want. 665 00:30:31,880 --> 00:30:33,800 Speaker 1: There might be something he does want. We'll see. I 666 00:30:33,840 --> 00:30:35,520 Speaker 1: would love to see them bring him back on a 667 00:30:35,560 --> 00:30:38,800 Speaker 1: long term deal. I said last on Tuesday when we're 668 00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:40,880 Speaker 1: talking to DP about that. I love Clowney. I think 669 00:30:40,920 --> 00:30:43,880 Speaker 1: he's fantastic. I love his personality, and he's a heck 670 00:30:43,880 --> 00:30:45,920 Speaker 1: of a draft expert. He actually helped me with a 671 00:30:45,920 --> 00:30:48,600 Speaker 1: player this year. That'd be the Anthony Johnson wide receiver 672 00:30:48,680 --> 00:30:53,480 Speaker 1: at University of Buffalo because Anthony's from South Carolina ended 673 00:30:53,560 --> 00:30:55,360 Speaker 1: up going to Buffalo, and I remember one in the 674 00:30:55,400 --> 00:30:56,959 Speaker 1: locker room. He just happened to see his day. Bro, 675 00:30:57,720 --> 00:31:00,160 Speaker 1: you see my cousin play. I'm like, who's your cousin? Like, 676 00:31:00,200 --> 00:31:01,479 Speaker 1: I have no idea who that is. And he goes 677 00:31:01,480 --> 00:31:03,680 Speaker 1: Anthony Johnson up at Buffalo and he's like, I'll go 678 00:31:03,760 --> 00:31:08,200 Speaker 1: check him out. Stud very, very good receiver. So he's 679 00:31:08,200 --> 00:31:09,760 Speaker 1: definitely gonna be somebody that we want to hear from 680 00:31:09,800 --> 00:31:11,440 Speaker 1: at the combine because he'd probably tell some good to 681 00:31:11,520 --> 00:31:14,560 Speaker 1: Devion Clowney stories. And you saw deanre Hopkins mentioned that 682 00:31:14,640 --> 00:31:16,760 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl when asking about the witch Wider series 683 00:31:16,760 --> 00:31:18,560 Speaker 1: would be good ones to draft. He said Anthony Johnson 684 00:31:18,600 --> 00:31:21,600 Speaker 1: because he and hop have been talking through a connection 685 00:31:21,640 --> 00:31:24,160 Speaker 1: between Deviana j Joe. So we'll talk a lot of 686 00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:26,840 Speaker 1: draft stuff as we go to combine. Obviously, free agency 687 00:31:26,920 --> 00:31:29,120 Speaker 1: is one of market time. With on March thirteenth, I 688 00:31:29,120 --> 00:31:32,560 Speaker 1: would imagine in the next probably months probably well, I 689 00:31:32,560 --> 00:31:35,880 Speaker 1: would think no later in the combine. Maybe maybe for that, 690 00:31:36,600 --> 00:31:38,320 Speaker 1: but I would think no later in the combine. Will 691 00:31:38,320 --> 00:31:41,080 Speaker 1: find out when the Texans are gonna play in London 692 00:31:41,280 --> 00:31:43,560 Speaker 1: against the Jacksonville Jaguars. So the Texans have that to 693 00:31:43,560 --> 00:31:46,080 Speaker 1: look forward to. In twenty nineteen, we will canvas the 694 00:31:46,120 --> 00:31:48,520 Speaker 1: country and they go across the Ponso will go as 695 00:31:48,520 --> 00:31:52,360 Speaker 1: far east as London, as far west as la So 696 00:31:52,760 --> 00:31:56,000 Speaker 1: it should be a pretty fun road schedule from that perspective, 697 00:31:56,000 --> 00:31:57,600 Speaker 1: and if you get wins like he did this year, 698 00:31:57,680 --> 00:31:59,560 Speaker 1: went five and three. I figured this out driving the 699 00:31:59,600 --> 00:32:03,400 Speaker 1: other day. On the road, the Texans lost three games 700 00:32:03,440 --> 00:32:07,160 Speaker 1: by seven, by three and by two. Lost by a 701 00:32:07,280 --> 00:32:10,640 Speaker 1: touchdown at New engl lost by three against Tennessee, lost 702 00:32:10,640 --> 00:32:13,640 Speaker 1: by two against Philadelphia, lost three road games by total 703 00:32:13,640 --> 00:32:17,040 Speaker 1: at twelve points. Yikes, Holy smokes. Now they ended up 704 00:32:17,040 --> 00:32:19,640 Speaker 1: winning a number of road games, five of them to 705 00:32:19,720 --> 00:32:22,320 Speaker 1: be exact, and they didn't win by They didn't win 706 00:32:22,400 --> 00:32:24,840 Speaker 1: by a lot in those. They won by three. At Indie, 707 00:32:25,440 --> 00:32:29,320 Speaker 1: they won by thirteen, At Jacksonville's at the highest. They 708 00:32:29,320 --> 00:32:34,600 Speaker 1: won by one. In Washington, they won by two. In Denver. 709 00:32:35,920 --> 00:32:38,080 Speaker 1: What else was on the road they won by They 710 00:32:38,160 --> 00:32:39,880 Speaker 1: went by a touchdown. In New York they blew out 711 00:32:39,920 --> 00:32:41,800 Speaker 1: the New York Jets. But that was close. Obviously, you 712 00:32:41,800 --> 00:32:44,840 Speaker 1: don't know that. So we got plenty to talk about 713 00:32:45,160 --> 00:32:47,720 Speaker 1: throughout this offseason, and we will do it. That's kind 714 00:32:47,720 --> 00:32:51,720 Speaker 1: of the schedule, just the NFL schedule combine on the 715 00:32:51,920 --> 00:32:54,640 Speaker 1: starting out of twenty six that's not the testing, but 716 00:32:54,680 --> 00:32:56,520 Speaker 1: that's when the players will start arriving. That's what we'll 717 00:32:56,520 --> 00:32:58,520 Speaker 1: get there. We'll get our media interviews and such. Then 718 00:32:58,840 --> 00:33:01,160 Speaker 1: then the league year starts on thirteenth with the three 719 00:33:01,240 --> 00:33:04,320 Speaker 1: day legal tampering period. Prior to that, the schedule will 720 00:33:04,360 --> 00:33:08,160 Speaker 1: get released. That'll be I think April, even though, so 721 00:33:08,240 --> 00:33:11,200 Speaker 1: we're on April thirteenth, fourteenth, somewhere and there, and then 722 00:33:11,200 --> 00:33:13,600 Speaker 1: you got the draft at the end of April. I 723 00:33:13,600 --> 00:33:17,760 Speaker 1: think that's a twenty sixth, fifth, twenty seventh, I believe, 724 00:33:18,280 --> 00:33:20,400 Speaker 1: and then you're on in Tota's and then and then 725 00:33:20,400 --> 00:33:22,720 Speaker 1: we're rocking and rolling at that point. So the NFL 726 00:33:22,800 --> 00:33:24,880 Speaker 1: spaces out there the pretty good job until we've got 727 00:33:24,880 --> 00:33:26,880 Speaker 1: plenty to talk about, and we'll do that and talk 728 00:33:26,920 --> 00:33:29,280 Speaker 1: about any and all of those things. There's no question 729 00:33:29,360 --> 00:33:31,680 Speaker 1: about it. Now. On Wednesday evening, we had the Houston 730 00:33:31,800 --> 00:33:35,200 Speaker 1: Sports Awards and Mark and I did the show live. 731 00:33:35,280 --> 00:33:38,440 Speaker 1: We had a chance to catch up with Whitney Merciless. 732 00:33:38,440 --> 00:33:40,320 Speaker 1: We caught up with Brian Cushing, and then we also 733 00:33:40,400 --> 00:33:44,400 Speaker 1: caught up with Cal and Hannah McNair and got their 734 00:33:44,400 --> 00:33:47,480 Speaker 1: thoughts about the season. They were there because the Texans 735 00:33:47,480 --> 00:33:49,960 Speaker 1: were being celebrated and we're up for a number of 736 00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:52,720 Speaker 1: awards and it was great to see them out and about. 737 00:33:52,760 --> 00:33:54,760 Speaker 1: And we only have three mics, so I got bumped off, 738 00:33:54,760 --> 00:33:57,719 Speaker 1: but that's fine. So Hannah and Cal set down with 739 00:33:57,760 --> 00:34:00,880 Speaker 1: Mark Vandomir. It's Cal and Hannah may gnare col the 740 00:34:00,960 --> 00:34:04,200 Speaker 1: chairman of the Houston Texans, and welcome folks. I got 741 00:34:04,200 --> 00:34:06,520 Speaker 1: you both at the same time. I know this is awesome, 742 00:34:06,560 --> 00:34:08,960 Speaker 1: but what's so bad as now Whitney has walked in 743 00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:11,440 Speaker 1: here and you'll kick me off and put him on 744 00:34:11,440 --> 00:34:14,000 Speaker 1: because he is a wonderful name. I would not do that. 745 00:34:14,040 --> 00:34:15,719 Speaker 1: I know you have to get to your table very soon. 746 00:34:16,440 --> 00:34:20,319 Speaker 1: But let's start with the coaching changes and then I'll 747 00:34:20,360 --> 00:34:22,600 Speaker 1: zero in on some other things. But your thoughts on 748 00:34:22,680 --> 00:34:25,439 Speaker 1: that on the coaching changes of the Houston Texans heading 749 00:34:25,440 --> 00:34:27,640 Speaker 1: into twenty nineteen, Well, it's a really interesting time of 750 00:34:27,719 --> 00:34:29,560 Speaker 1: the year where we get to focus on the coaches 751 00:34:29,600 --> 00:34:31,719 Speaker 1: and how to try to get better. Of course, we're 752 00:34:31,760 --> 00:34:34,160 Speaker 1: trying to do that on every aspect through the building 753 00:34:34,160 --> 00:34:37,719 Speaker 1: in this time of year, But right now we've kind 754 00:34:37,719 --> 00:34:42,359 Speaker 1: of concluded the coaching area with Carl as our quarterbacks coach. 755 00:34:42,400 --> 00:34:46,719 Speaker 1: With man with tremendous NFL experience. He's worked with all 756 00:34:46,760 --> 00:34:50,080 Speaker 1: different kinds of quarterbacks and all different kinds of systems 757 00:34:50,840 --> 00:34:53,600 Speaker 1: and they've all played at a very high level under him, 758 00:34:54,080 --> 00:34:57,400 Speaker 1: So he's a real asset to our group. We promoted 759 00:34:57,400 --> 00:35:01,279 Speaker 1: Tim Kelly to a coordinator who is a bright, young 760 00:35:01,760 --> 00:35:04,520 Speaker 1: rising star in the NFL, and our fans will get 761 00:35:04,520 --> 00:35:07,520 Speaker 1: to see that, and Carl will help as well as 762 00:35:07,520 --> 00:35:11,799 Speaker 1: a quarterback. Carl has been a former coordinator, so he'll 763 00:35:11,840 --> 00:35:14,799 Speaker 1: help Tim in that in that capacity as well. So 764 00:35:15,080 --> 00:35:17,040 Speaker 1: I think it'll be really good for USTA. It's great 765 00:35:17,080 --> 00:35:20,239 Speaker 1: to get twenty nineteen rolling really after twenty eighteen, and 766 00:35:20,360 --> 00:35:22,839 Speaker 1: Hattie sort of deal with that because it was a 767 00:35:22,960 --> 00:35:26,160 Speaker 1: very successful season AFC South Championship eleven wins. I know 768 00:35:26,200 --> 00:35:29,239 Speaker 1: the playoff game didn't go as well as you wanted, obviously, 769 00:35:29,360 --> 00:35:31,719 Speaker 1: but you have to feel very encouraged about a lot 770 00:35:31,719 --> 00:35:34,279 Speaker 1: of what you saw this past season. Eleven wins. We 771 00:35:34,320 --> 00:35:36,640 Speaker 1: had a little bit of a slow start there, but 772 00:35:36,719 --> 00:35:40,200 Speaker 1: the guys I rallied and had a just a tremendous run, 773 00:35:40,680 --> 00:35:43,200 Speaker 1: a record run you know, of the one nine wins 774 00:35:43,760 --> 00:35:45,799 Speaker 1: and when you look back on it, it was really 775 00:35:45,800 --> 00:35:47,600 Speaker 1: a lot of fun. I hope our fans enjoyed it. 776 00:35:48,600 --> 00:35:50,440 Speaker 1: And then to come away with eleven wins at the 777 00:35:50,520 --> 00:35:52,840 Speaker 1: end of the season, wrapping up the AFC, like you said, 778 00:35:53,320 --> 00:35:57,040 Speaker 1: and looking back on it, one of the really things 779 00:35:57,080 --> 00:35:58,960 Speaker 1: we got to focus on next year as we were 780 00:35:59,000 --> 00:36:02,160 Speaker 1: two minutes away and Philly and they're backed up on 781 00:36:02,200 --> 00:36:05,320 Speaker 1: their ten of getting the second seed in the AFC, 782 00:36:05,600 --> 00:36:09,319 Speaker 1: So we were really that close to being in a 783 00:36:09,360 --> 00:36:11,960 Speaker 1: better spot than we were, and um, we got to 784 00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:14,799 Speaker 1: focus and get that done. So tonight here at the 785 00:36:14,800 --> 00:36:17,120 Speaker 1: Houston Sports Awards, the Event of the Year, one of 786 00:36:17,120 --> 00:36:19,759 Speaker 1: the nominees is the Texans Monday Night victory over the 787 00:36:19,760 --> 00:36:23,360 Speaker 1: Tennessee Titans, a night in which the Texans honored your father, 788 00:36:23,520 --> 00:36:26,960 Speaker 1: the passing of mister Bob McNair. And what is your 789 00:36:27,040 --> 00:36:29,000 Speaker 1: feeling about that as you come into the building you 790 00:36:29,000 --> 00:36:31,640 Speaker 1: see a tribute here for him, and you're up at 791 00:36:31,680 --> 00:36:33,520 Speaker 1: that award tonight. I know it's a whole lot, it's 792 00:36:33,560 --> 00:36:36,040 Speaker 1: about a whole lot more than that, but as as 793 00:36:36,040 --> 00:36:39,160 Speaker 1: the passage of time continues here. Well, that was part 794 00:36:39,160 --> 00:36:41,120 Speaker 1: of the year, as part of his an emotional year 795 00:36:42,000 --> 00:36:43,879 Speaker 1: and that that was a big part of it. And 796 00:36:43,880 --> 00:36:47,040 Speaker 1: for our fans to come out and show the support 797 00:36:47,080 --> 00:36:52,719 Speaker 1: that they did and have that game was just really emotional, 798 00:36:52,920 --> 00:36:56,560 Speaker 1: very emotional for me and for our families. So we 799 00:36:56,600 --> 00:37:01,960 Speaker 1: really appreciate that and it was a true highlight, you know, 800 00:37:02,360 --> 00:37:09,440 Speaker 1: a football memories for us.

And we were surprised, Mark, No, we 806 00:37:23,760 --> 00:37:26,640 Speaker 1: didn't know until she was born. But you did you 807 00:37:26,719 --> 00:37:28,880 Speaker 1: want a girl? Was it like I have to have 808 00:37:28,960 --> 00:37:33,719 Speaker 1: a girl. It's it's interesting because I always wanted four boys. Really, yes, 809 00:37:34,160 --> 00:37:36,880 Speaker 1: so we're gonna keep for sure. Oh, I'm having four boys. 810 00:37:36,920 --> 00:37:39,359 Speaker 1: It's been you know, what I've always wanted, So for sure, 811 00:37:39,400 --> 00:37:42,480 Speaker 1: that's what I'm gonna have. And then I mean I 812 00:37:42,520 --> 00:37:45,839 Speaker 1: bought boy clothes, I had everything planned for a boy, 813 00:37:45,880 --> 00:37:50,080 Speaker 1: and then she came out and changed our world.

You can't take too many of 816 00:37:55,480 --> 00:37:58,160 Speaker 1: the hand me downs anyway. But yeah, I know it's always, uh, 817 00:37:58,520 --> 00:38:00,440 Speaker 1: you're always out and about in the community and everything 818 00:38:00,640 --> 00:38:02,480 Speaker 1: that's going to start up pretty soon as well. Yes, 819 00:38:02,640 --> 00:38:05,880 Speaker 1: And you know, women's initiatives were really a passion of 820 00:38:05,880 --> 00:38:08,960 Speaker 1: mine and young girls, and now having a daughter of 821 00:38:09,040 --> 00:38:11,320 Speaker 1: my own, I mean it's even more so. It's amazing 822 00:38:11,360 --> 00:38:15,399 Speaker 1: how the depth has even deepened more. And I just 823 00:38:15,680 --> 00:38:19,280 Speaker 1: it's important to focus on women's initiatives. We focused on children. 824 00:38:20,000 --> 00:38:21,840 Speaker 1: We're out in the community just trying to make a 825 00:38:21,880 --> 00:38:24,560 Speaker 1: difference and show the love. And really what people want 826 00:38:24,640 --> 00:38:29,000 Speaker 1: is to be seen and be loved. They just want love. 827 00:38:29,120 --> 00:38:32,240 Speaker 1: So that's what we're doing. Texas. The Texans are always 828 00:38:32,239 --> 00:38:34,399 Speaker 1: about spreading the love in the community, doing great things. 829 00:38:35,560 --> 00:38:37,880 Speaker 1: J J. Watt is up for or he won already 830 00:38:37,920 --> 00:38:40,880 Speaker 1: the Sportsmanship Award from the Houston Sports Awards and Whitney 831 00:38:40,920 --> 00:38:43,600 Speaker 1: Merciless is here on deck and he of course was 832 00:38:43,600 --> 00:38:46,760 Speaker 1: a Walter Payton Man of the Year nominee this past season. 833 00:38:46,840 --> 00:38:48,960 Speaker 1: Want won it last year. He Want Spirit of the 834 00:38:48,960 --> 00:38:52,520 Speaker 1: Bull Award too. Yeah, yes he did. But how does 835 00:38:52,560 --> 00:38:54,200 Speaker 1: that make you feel? Cow when you see so many 836 00:38:54,200 --> 00:38:56,439 Speaker 1: of your athletes out and about in the community doing 837 00:38:56,480 --> 00:38:59,040 Speaker 1: great things. And the Lady Texans too, well, we were 838 00:38:59,040 --> 00:39:01,239 Speaker 1: an event last night and had a number of our 839 00:39:01,360 --> 00:39:04,279 Speaker 1: players and former players there there. They'll predeck my room, down, 840 00:39:04,400 --> 00:39:08,160 Speaker 1: my room and so um. And that's for kids that 841 00:39:08,239 --> 00:39:10,680 Speaker 1: have cancer to go in and brighten up their lives 842 00:39:10,680 --> 00:39:13,120 Speaker 1: there while they're in the hospital for extended states. It's 843 00:39:13,120 --> 00:39:15,799 Speaker 1: in the DNA of the Texans, right. Cal's dad started it, 844 00:39:16,040 --> 00:39:17,960 Speaker 1: and it's in the DNA to go out into the 845 00:39:17,960 --> 00:39:19,960 Speaker 1: community and to help and make a difference. And that's 846 00:39:20,000 --> 00:39:22,239 Speaker 1: just what we do. And the guys embrace it and 847 00:39:22,280 --> 00:39:26,560 Speaker 1: they are out every week doing that in the community. 848 00:39:26,560 --> 00:39:28,960 Speaker 1: Whether they win or lose, you know, they still go 849 00:39:29,000 --> 00:39:31,560 Speaker 1: out there because they love where they live and they 850 00:39:31,680 --> 00:39:34,759 Speaker 1: love being here. They do care so deeply. Cal your 851 00:39:34,840 --> 00:39:37,440 Speaker 1: message to the fans that we get ready for another football. 852 00:39:37,480 --> 00:39:40,279 Speaker 1: You're the football You're officially begins in March, the NFL year, 853 00:39:40,360 --> 00:39:42,960 Speaker 1: But I know you guys are already rolling. Yeah, we're rolling. 854 00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:47,040 Speaker 1: We're working hard. Um. Like I said earlier, Well, we'll 855 00:39:47,080 --> 00:39:51,960 Speaker 1: examine everything and try to get better and every facet, 856 00:39:51,960 --> 00:39:55,360 Speaker 1: every corner, every minute that we're awake and trying to 857 00:39:55,400 --> 00:39:59,319 Speaker 1: constantly improve. We know there's some spots that are our 858 00:39:59,360 --> 00:40:02,040 Speaker 1: fans know, and we're on the same page with things 859 00:40:02,040 --> 00:40:04,560 Speaker 1: amarias we can improve on. I know y'all know where 860 00:40:04,560 --> 00:40:06,880 Speaker 1: those are, and we'll use all our reason. We have 861 00:40:06,960 --> 00:40:09,680 Speaker 1: more resources this year than we had last year to 862 00:40:09,800 --> 00:40:12,680 Speaker 1: improve the team, and we'll use all those resources in 863 00:40:12,719 --> 00:40:17,040 Speaker 1: all the different ways free agency, the draft, undrafted, free agency, 864 00:40:17,400 --> 00:40:20,480 Speaker 1: throughout the whole season. We'll look at trades and doing 865 00:40:20,760 --> 00:40:23,600 Speaker 1: whatever we can do to get better. Or Brian Gaine 866 00:40:23,680 --> 00:40:27,520 Speaker 1: and coach or fully embrace that and we will do 867 00:40:27,560 --> 00:40:30,160 Speaker 1: that to get better. One of the interesting points that 868 00:40:30,320 --> 00:40:33,920 Speaker 1: Cale talked about there was finishing against Philadelphia, being two 869 00:40:33,920 --> 00:40:36,719 Speaker 1: minutes away from getting that win. I just had a 870 00:40:36,760 --> 00:40:39,000 Speaker 1: conversation today. I was talking about buddy Tommy about that 871 00:40:39,080 --> 00:40:42,359 Speaker 1: Tommy does such a great job with all our telestrators, 872 00:40:42,440 --> 00:40:45,120 Speaker 1: all of our film rooms. He's in our film department. 873 00:40:45,160 --> 00:40:46,840 Speaker 1: Timmy Brock is a great job with those guys, and 874 00:40:46,880 --> 00:40:50,040 Speaker 1: Tommy is, you know, our contact point. He is one 875 00:40:50,040 --> 00:40:51,880 Speaker 1: of the greatest guys you're gonna find. And we were 876 00:40:51,880 --> 00:40:55,960 Speaker 1: actually talking about that today, about that Philadelphia game, about 877 00:40:56,120 --> 00:41:00,560 Speaker 1: how close, how close it was. If you get that win, 878 00:41:01,400 --> 00:41:05,840 Speaker 1: then what does it mean for the entire playoffs going forward? 879 00:41:06,480 --> 00:41:08,960 Speaker 1: But unfortunately, is cal pointed out, you didn't get that. 880 00:41:09,680 --> 00:41:12,640 Speaker 1: But I think what also Cow alludes to in some 881 00:41:12,719 --> 00:41:15,560 Speaker 1: sense without having to say it, is how valuable that 882 00:41:15,600 --> 00:41:18,800 Speaker 1: buy is. The Patriots had never gone to the super Bowl, 883 00:41:19,280 --> 00:41:21,640 Speaker 1: never gone to the super Bowl without having that buy. 884 00:41:22,360 --> 00:41:23,880 Speaker 1: Two thousand and nine, they didn't get the buy. They 885 00:41:23,920 --> 00:41:25,920 Speaker 1: got beat in the first round by the Baltimore Ravens. 886 00:41:26,640 --> 00:41:28,560 Speaker 1: They've gotten to buy in two ten. Now, that doesn't 887 00:41:28,560 --> 00:41:29,960 Speaker 1: guarantee that they got to buy. They went to the the 888 00:41:30,040 --> 00:41:32,040 Speaker 1: super Bowl, but they had never gone to the super 889 00:41:32,040 --> 00:41:35,080 Speaker 1: Bowl without getting that buy. That's hugely important and it 890 00:41:35,120 --> 00:41:37,480 Speaker 1: definitely would have help this team this year, but it 891 00:41:37,520 --> 00:41:40,400 Speaker 1: didn't happen. And I thought it was interesting that Cow 892 00:41:40,480 --> 00:41:41,920 Speaker 1: brought it up because I think a lot of people 893 00:41:42,120 --> 00:41:45,319 Speaker 1: when you ask him about the season and you think 894 00:41:45,360 --> 00:41:47,960 Speaker 1: about that playoff game, Well, what if that playoff game 895 00:41:48,000 --> 00:41:50,799 Speaker 1: is a week later, the divisional round? It probably would 896 00:41:50,840 --> 00:41:53,440 Speaker 1: have been the Patriots, a team that you know pretty well, 897 00:41:53,640 --> 00:41:55,319 Speaker 1: but you would have had that week arrest, which would 898 00:41:55,320 --> 00:41:57,879 Speaker 1: have been huge, and the TV playing would have had 899 00:41:58,080 --> 00:42:00,160 Speaker 1: that week of rest, so it would have been interesting. 900 00:42:00,160 --> 00:42:03,320 Speaker 1: But great stuff there from both Cal and Hannah McNair. 901 00:42:03,400 --> 00:42:06,120 Speaker 1: Really appreciate them stopping by for the Houston Sports Awards. 902 00:42:06,160 --> 00:42:07,960 Speaker 1: That will do it, folks.
