17
00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:32,080
Speaker 1: This is a gorgeous facility, a gorgeous day in Green Bay.

18
00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:34,680
Speaker 1: It's seventy degrees but if you look at my tweet, Johnny,

19
00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:37,600
Speaker 1: and you brought this to my attention, and I wanted

20
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:39,880
Speaker 1: to get it to the Houston public as quickly as possible,

21
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:43,560
Speaker 1: that fans Packer fans are waiting to get into practice

22
00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:48,640
Speaker 1: and they're fanning themselves because it's kind of warm here

23
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:53,000
Speaker 1: at seventy degrees and no humidity. That's true. That's a fact, Jack,

24
00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:56,080
Speaker 1: That's something they're not. They're not. I mean, they're they're

25
00:01:56,160 --> 00:02:00,000
Speaker 1: used to. I guess at this is pretty decent temperature

26
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:01,920
Speaker 1: for them at this time of year. But I can

27
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:03,640
Speaker 1: only imagine what that must have been like the other

28
00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:05,920
Speaker 1: day at the Houston Methanist Training Center when fans are

29
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:08,960
Speaker 1: waiting outside ours. Yeah, because at that point the fans

30
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:10,720
Speaker 1: aren't even gonna do any good, and they ain't gonna

31
00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:11,960
Speaker 1: do any good. At least I got a little bit

32
00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:13,520
Speaker 1: of a breeze, Like these people are tough in the

33
00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:16,880
Speaker 1: winter are in the summer. Yeah, that's that's that's when

34
00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:18,920
Speaker 1: the toughness, that's when the toughness kicks in. And speaking

35
00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:23,040
Speaker 1: of the toughness, this is where here every everything you

36
00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:25,440
Speaker 1: can tell how much in Green Bay is around Packers.

37
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:28,200
Speaker 1: This is Raynitsky Field that we're looking at. Yeah, the

38
00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:31,640
Speaker 1: Don Hudson Center is the indoor facility. The Clark Hinkle

39
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:35,120
Speaker 1: Field is on the other side. Yeah, you've got Lombardi Way,

40
00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:38,760
Speaker 1: You've got Home Grin Way. Yeah, you've got Donald Driver Away,

41
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:41,359
Speaker 1: which is where we were last night when we went

42
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:44,280
Speaker 1: to go eat at Titletown. That was Donald Driver Away. Yeah,

43
00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:46,960
Speaker 1: that was Donald Driver Away. That was like in and around.

44
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:48,920
Speaker 1: Donald Driver is a big deal up here. By the way,

45
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:53,880
Speaker 1: Houstonian Donald Yeah, awesome several times. I know you have too.

46
00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:57,400
Speaker 1: And look it's it's Green Bay, it's Titletown. It's amazing

47
00:02:57,440 --> 00:02:59,240
Speaker 1: and it's great that the Texas are here for Thursday

48
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:01,240
Speaker 1: night's game. By the way, it's a seven o'clock kick.

Speaker 1: the Texans finally kick it off in the preseason. And

52
00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:12,760
Speaker 1: right before us here we have a I'll just paint

53
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:15,600
Speaker 1: the picture here. This is a gorgeous field. It's what

54
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:18,400
Speaker 1: two seventy yard fields it looks like something like that

55
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:22,280
Speaker 1: that are end to end and the grass looks so good.

56
00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:25,239
Speaker 1: I thought it was fake when I came up fake. No,

57
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:30,040
Speaker 1: it's real. It's perfect, perfect conditions here for this joint

58
00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:32,600
Speaker 1: practice session with the Packers, two of them today and tomorrow.

59
00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:34,680

62
00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:45,200
Speaker 1: six o'clock. So it's on man, it's this week. It's happening.

63
00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:47,760
Speaker 1: It's gonna be great to see the Texans at action. Now.

64
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:51,200
Speaker 1: The big story yesterday was Deonta Foreman getting released by

65
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:56,680
Speaker 1: the team, which was really a huge development considering all

66
00:03:56,680 --> 00:03:59,480
Speaker 1: the high hopes we had for Deontay Foreman. A lot

67
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:01,880
Speaker 1: of potential. Johnny I equated too. I hate to talk

68
00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:04,720
Speaker 1: about players in this fashion like stock or assets. You know.

69
00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:06,840
Speaker 1: General Morey always said, I don't want to refer to

70
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:09,200
Speaker 1: them as assets, but a lot of people do. But

71
00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:12,520
Speaker 1: the stock on Foreman, you felt like you were getting

72
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:15,119
Speaker 1: the stock at a good price and the potential was there.

73
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:19,080
Speaker 1: The ceiling was very high. But clearly things did not

74
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:21,520
Speaker 1: go according to plan with everything they wanted him to

75
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:25,919
Speaker 1: do or wanted him to work with them through this

76
00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:29,720
Speaker 1: training camp session, the preseason and they felt like, look,

77
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:32,440
Speaker 1: let's just cut it now, Let's cut our losses now,

78
00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:35,400
Speaker 1: whatever term you want to use, move on, try to

79
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:38,440
Speaker 1: find a number two back. Here's a couple of things

80
00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:41,760
Speaker 1: I found interesting. I saw two tweets. One was from

81
00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:46,000
Speaker 1: Dante's dad, Derek saying, look, no hard feelings, we have

82
00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:47,760
Speaker 1: the business CNFL. I mean it was very it was

83
00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:50,480
Speaker 1: very classy, which you know, Derek has been very classy.

84
00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:51,880
Speaker 1: I mean he's been awesome. I mean, he does a

85
00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:54,480
Speaker 1: podcast and has done a podcast with Landry. They've talked

86
00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:56,839
Speaker 1: about that a lot. And then I saw Canar McGuire

87
00:04:57,640 --> 00:05:00,000
Speaker 1: tweet about that same very I mean almost the same

88
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:02,440
Speaker 1: almost verbade him the same thing. Hey, we really appreciate

89
00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:05,560
Speaker 1: the Texans giving him a chance. We also appreciate the

90
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:07,600
Speaker 1: Texans doing it now to give him an opportunity to

91
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:09,440
Speaker 1: get with a team. And I think that's important. To

92
00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:12,080
Speaker 1: give him the opportunity to get with another team. He's

93
00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:17,440
Speaker 1: gonna go through the waivers process now. I that uh,

94
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:22,520
Speaker 1: that transaction was it was. It was shocking in one way,

95
00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:26,240
Speaker 1: but on the other hand, it wasn't. And that's the

96
00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:30,440
Speaker 1: part that you know, I feel I feel for Deonte. Yeah,

97
00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:33,960
Speaker 1: but I feel like there are some player and maybe

98
00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:35,960
Speaker 1: this is more more players than I think, but I

99
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:39,080
Speaker 1: feel like for some players it's good to get away

100
00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:42,200
Speaker 1: from your hometown to learn to grow up. And I

101
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:45,080
Speaker 1: don't mean that he wasn't grown up, that he wasn't mature,

102
00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:48,280
Speaker 1: but I feel like you have to get away from

103
00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:51,480
Speaker 1: your hometown to be able to grow the way you

104
00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:55,080
Speaker 1: need to. And listen, I if he doesn't get hurt

105
00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:56,720
Speaker 1: going into the last year, does this happen? I mean,

106
00:05:56,760 --> 00:05:59,039
Speaker 1: who knows. There's a lot of questions, but I feel

107
00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:02,760
Speaker 1: like at the us to this is Deonte's gotta take.

108
00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:07,719
Speaker 1: He's gotta take a step up in being a professional. Yeah,

109
00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:10,520
Speaker 1: And I think maybe being away from Houston and getting

110
00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:13,599
Speaker 1: away from you know, family and friends in Texas City.

111
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:15,400
Speaker 1: Not that they were leeches on him or anything like that,

112
00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:17,320
Speaker 1: but I think once you get away. I always felt

113
00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:19,239
Speaker 1: that way with Vince when all that talk was about

114
00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:21,200
Speaker 1: Vince Young stand in Houston, was like, look, it's probably

115
00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:23,760
Speaker 1: best for Vince to get away from Houston, to get

116
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:26,640
Speaker 1: away because him being in the spotlight in Houston at

117
00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:29,279
Speaker 1: home the homeboy is back, like it just would have

118
00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:32,520
Speaker 1: been so much pressure on him. I don't know how

119
00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:35,839
Speaker 1: you handle that, and I think that Deonte probably internalized

120
00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:37,920
Speaker 1: some of that pressure or being close he was around

121
00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:40,120
Speaker 1: all his friends. I mean, his twin brother was at

122
00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:42,200
Speaker 1: Practically there's funny because I saw his twin brothers standing

123
00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:44,000
Speaker 1: to get in. I was like, why is Deante not

124
00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:46,359
Speaker 1: dressed out? And I was like, Oh, that's Armante, you know.

125
00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:48,520
Speaker 1: So I think it's gonna be good for him to

126
00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:52,680
Speaker 1: get away from Houston and go grow up and be

127
00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:55,480
Speaker 1: an adults somewhere outside the state attacks there. Maybe stays

128
00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:56,800
Speaker 1: in the state a tax, but just get away from

129
00:06:56,839 --> 00:06:58,960
Speaker 1: home a little bit so that you're forced to grow

130
00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:00,880
Speaker 1: up and become, you know, the man that you could

131
00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:02,279
Speaker 1: be in the football player you can be. This was

132
00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:05,320
Speaker 1: not about ability. This was not about performance. I mean,

133
00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:08,320
Speaker 1: you know, maybe to a slight degree, but really we

134
00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:09,680
Speaker 1: all wanted to see what he was gonna do on

135
00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:13,840
Speaker 1: the field once the game's got going. But this is

136
00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:17,480
Speaker 1: about other stuff. You said, being a professional, working well

137
00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:19,960
Speaker 1: within the organization didn't happen. They move on, all right,

138
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:21,800
Speaker 1: So number two running back. Now, we broke down the

139
00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:24,080
Speaker 1: running back position. I don't know when last week at

140
00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:27,920
Speaker 1: some point, but for the Texans right now and John McClain,

141
00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:29,560
Speaker 1: who will join us at eight thirty. By the way,

142
00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:32,880
Speaker 1: he'll be here. He is in Green Bay, like a

143
00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:35,080
Speaker 1: lot of folks take it in these joint practices, so

144
00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:37,800
Speaker 1: he will hear what he has to say. He tweeted out,

145
00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:41,560
Speaker 1: and they're not going after Melvin Gordon, so don't even

146
00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:44,600
Speaker 1: tweet me about that. I'm paraphrasing here. It didn't exactly

147
00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:47,600
Speaker 1: say that, But they're looking for a number two back

148
00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:49,600
Speaker 1: now he's he on the roster as he's somewhere else.

149
00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:51,560
Speaker 1: Let's see. I think they have a lot of interesting

150
00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:54,320
Speaker 1: options here. But you and I always talk about this

151
00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:58,360
Speaker 1: pass protection is premium for these guys. I think one

152
00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:02,360
Speaker 1: thing that's interesting though, whoever was going to win the

153
00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:06,160
Speaker 1: number three spot was going to have to play special teams.

154
00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:08,880
Speaker 1: You have to really show out on special teams, bring

155
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:13,800
Speaker 1: something extra to the table and special teams. Now that

156
00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:16,000
Speaker 1: could change a little bit. Let's say one of these

157
00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:19,000
Speaker 1: guys just really tears it up in these preseason games,

158
00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:22,720
Speaker 1: but he's not the greatest special teams player necessarily, And

159
00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:24,440
Speaker 1: I again, I don't know how you measure all that,

160
00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:26,920
Speaker 1: but let's say that's the case. Maybe you think about, well,

161
00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:29,080
Speaker 1: we're gonna keep them, you know, if Crockett goes nuts

162
00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:31,280
Speaker 1: or higged in or any one of these guys. So

163
00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:34,960
Speaker 1: I think with Ferguson and Taiwan Jones, you already know that. Look,

164
00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:36,880
Speaker 1: these guys have been around a little bit around some

165
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:39,400
Speaker 1: NFL camps. Jones is an excellent special teams player. That's

166
00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:40,800
Speaker 1: how he survived in this league. I don't think he's

167
00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:43,079
Speaker 1: the number two ball carrier, but you never know how

168
00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:45,680
Speaker 1: these things turn out. Well, the last few practices he

169
00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:49,520
Speaker 1: has been now they've been doing they've been doing a

170
00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:51,640
Speaker 1: little bit more, I should he say a little bit more.

171
00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:53,240
Speaker 1: They've been doing a lot of two minutes stuff, a

172
00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:55,840
Speaker 1: lot up tempo stuff. That's the way the practices go.

173
00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:57,839
Speaker 1: They're not running a play going back to Hull, running

174
00:08:57,840 --> 00:08:59,880
Speaker 1: play going back to Hell. They're not doing that. They've

175
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:02,800
Speaker 1: so they've been in a lot of eleven personnel, which

176
00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:06,360
Speaker 1: is one back, one tight end. And then they went

177
00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:09,520
Speaker 1: from Lamar to Taiwan Jones the last couple of practices.

178
00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:11,520
Speaker 1: Now that doesn't mean that Taiwan's gonna be the number

179
00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:14,520
Speaker 1: two back. But of the backs you have left, and

180
00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:16,000
Speaker 1: you I think you mentioned them all. Mark, you got

181
00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:20,440
Speaker 1: Taiwan Taiwan Jones. You've got Kron Higden undrafted rookie. You've

182
00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:22,680
Speaker 1: got the Mario Crockett undrafted rookie. You get Josh Ferguson

183
00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:26,840
Speaker 1: who's been around a little bit. All four of those

184
00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:29,439
Speaker 1: guys have well the rookies we don't know, but I

185
00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:31,599
Speaker 1: would imagine, hey, you're gonna make this roster if you

186
00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:34,040
Speaker 1: running on of special teams, they'll do it. And both

187
00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:35,959
Speaker 1: of them can run, so I would imagine they'll both

188
00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:39,040
Speaker 1: flight down on special teams out of minimum. So those

189
00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:41,079
Speaker 1: four guys are all gonna go down on special teams

190
00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:43,840
Speaker 1: no matter what. Now, if one of them develops as

191
00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:48,760
Speaker 1: the number two, then yeah, but look, Alfred Blue was

192
00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:51,120
Speaker 1: on all four special teams and was the number two

193
00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:55,400
Speaker 1: running back. So from that perspective, well, yeah, all four

194
00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:56,719
Speaker 1: of them are gonna run on special team. So the

195
00:09:56,760 --> 00:10:02,120
Speaker 1: question becomes, do you do you look at well, two things.

196
00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:06,760
Speaker 1: Number one the Melvin Gordon thing, and I here's the

197
00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:08,240
Speaker 1: thing with Melvin Gordon. First of all, you have to

198
00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:09,800
Speaker 1: trade for him. Second of all, you didn't have to

199
00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:12,520
Speaker 1: pay him. So so it's gonna hurt, right, it's gonna hurt.

200
00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:16,559
Speaker 1: And if I'm gonna hurt. I much rather have an

201
00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:19,400
Speaker 1: offensive lineman or a corner that. That's where my that's

202
00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:22,200
Speaker 1: where value needs to be. Right. If I'm gonna give

203
00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:25,160
Speaker 1: up picks and then have to pay, I'm gonna put

204
00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:28,720
Speaker 1: my I'm gonna put my uh my chips on the

205
00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:31,640
Speaker 1: table for one of those other positions. So for try

206
00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:34,000
Speaker 1: Williams and I would think about it. I would think

207
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:36,280
Speaker 1: about it. But for a guy to come in to

208
00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:38,800
Speaker 1: not even not even be guarantee be my number one

209
00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:41,319
Speaker 1: running back, I'm not gonna do that. So the second

210
00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:46,079
Speaker 1: one becomes, do you look elsewhere and look, they're running

211
00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:48,160
Speaker 1: backs are not a dime a dozen. I don't want

212
00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:50,720
Speaker 1: that to be the they're not a dime a dozen.

213
00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:53,440
Speaker 1: But you can find running backs and a lot different

214
00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:55,719
Speaker 1: places and places you didn't even know where. Places you

215
00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:58,440
Speaker 1: could just be looking and watching preseason games and go,

216
00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:00,040
Speaker 1: you know what, I like that guy and he's not

217
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:01,720
Speaker 1: gonna make that cut. I think he can do something

218
00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:04,760
Speaker 1: with us. Last year when I got Buddy Howe, right, No,

219
00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:06,360
Speaker 1: Buddy's not a guy we talked about. But I've seen

220
00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:10,720
Speaker 1: Buddy taking some reps at fullback. So you've got you've

221
00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:13,960
Speaker 1: got some options. In house. I have said all along.

222
00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:16,120
Speaker 1: After the draft and they didn't draft the running back

223
00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:19,040
Speaker 1: and they signed Cron Higden and Mario Crockett, and I

224
00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:21,079
Speaker 1: was like, I got a feeling that one of these two,

225
00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:24,280
Speaker 1: if not both, are gonna make an impact somehow, some way.

226
00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:27,559
Speaker 1: I like. I like both of them. Crockett's got some size,

227
00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:32,200
Speaker 1: Higden has got power for a smaller a shorter guys,

228
00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:34,720
Speaker 1: not small and shorter. So if they go with one

229
00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:38,560
Speaker 1: of those two, I'd be I'd be Okay. My only

230
00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:41,000
Speaker 1: question becomes, how are you going to pass protect on

231
00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:44,920
Speaker 1: third down? Or is your number three definitively your third down?

232
00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:49,280
Speaker 1: The solution Cola, Well, that's something that you and I

233
00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:51,439
Speaker 1: talked about. I mean, I don't know that that's the solution.

234
00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:54,319
Speaker 1: I'm kind of being yeah, I'm joking around a little bit,

235
00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:56,840
Speaker 1: but not entirely. I think that you know, you and

236
00:11:56,880 --> 00:12:00,400
Speaker 1: I have mentioned that as a possibility as a third

237
00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:03,920
Speaker 1: down back when Okay, he's probably in there to pick

238
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:06,080
Speaker 1: up blitzers and things like that, but you can leak

239
00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:08,440
Speaker 1: him out and he can make a play, Yes, he can, absolutely,

240
00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:09,880
Speaker 1: and if you want to run a draw with him.

241
00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:12,120
Speaker 1: I was watching the A. M. Clemson game from last

242
00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:17,319
Speaker 1: year Sunday before practice, and I was just in my office.

243
00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:19,280
Speaker 1: I was just watching a little bit and I just

244
00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:21,080
Speaker 1: that was the game that popped up, and I was like, okay,

245
00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:22,800
Speaker 1: I'm watching this for a little bit. Second play of

246
00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:26,040
Speaker 1: the game, they gave Colin Glasbia outside zone run out

247
00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:29,200
Speaker 1: of shotgun, like he's got a guy leading for him,

248
00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:31,080
Speaker 1: and listen, I don't know that you want to have

249
00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:33,000
Speaker 1: Colin Glaspia's you know, I'm too running back and that's

250
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:35,079
Speaker 1: not what we're saying. But no, but a guy who

251
00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:37,840
Speaker 1: took a guy to be in that stable somewhere. So

252
00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:40,000
Speaker 1: if you go, if you get on your third down,

253
00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:42,040
Speaker 1: you got your three wide receivers on the field, and

254
00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:44,240
Speaker 1: what Aikins. Let's say you got Aikins right now. So

255
00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:45,880
Speaker 1: let's say that that's what you go with. You go

256
00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:49,200
Speaker 1: with hop Fuller, QT and Aikins and you're running back

257
00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:53,440
Speaker 1: is Glasbia. And Glasbia helps him pass protection, he picks

258
00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:56,719
Speaker 1: up a linebacker, he's gonna do as good. Well. If

259
00:12:56,720 --> 00:12:58,880
Speaker 1: he knows you to pick up, he's gonna be fine

260
00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:01,400
Speaker 1: blocking him. That's the key. Does he know to pick up,

261
00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:04,760
Speaker 1: He's gonna be okay blocking he's not. That's not my word.

262
00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:06,320
Speaker 1: It's the matter of does he know who to block.

263
00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:08,160
Speaker 1: He's gonna have to get that fast. And once he

264
00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:10,240
Speaker 1: gets that down, then you got an option with him.

265
00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:13,040
Speaker 1: For sure. His job description is going to be special teams.

266
00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:16,719
Speaker 1: But if he can develop these other skills, obviously, that's

267
00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:19,400
Speaker 1: gonna be huge for him to stay on this roster.

268
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:21,520
Speaker 1: You know. I think he's got a great shot anyway,

269
00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:23,920
Speaker 1: but it's gonna be all about fourth down. As we say.

270
00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:28,559
Speaker 1: By the way, the Vandermer pronunciation Guide, the proper pronunciation

271
00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:34,240
Speaker 1: is gillespia, even though it's an A, so it's not gilly.

272
00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:40,079
Speaker 1: That's the problem. That's what it is. Gilly alongside Watson.

273
00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:44,280
Speaker 1: I mean, come on, that's what it's going to be. Yes, well,

274
00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:47,319
Speaker 1: I already got all right. The video that we released

275
00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:50,440
Speaker 1: on Saturday with b Mac and Whitney, you know, went

276
00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:54,160
Speaker 1: nuts because those two are creak together. You gotta see it.

277
00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:58,480
Speaker 1: It's the one on one presented by interview. But she

278
00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:02,480
Speaker 1: let b mack hijacket Lamboc and it's not lambo like

279
00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:05,600
Speaker 1: lambeau Field. It's lambo like Lamborghini. Yeah, yeah, yeah, okay.

280
00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:08,560
Speaker 1: It was a tremendous interview, and he was that was

281
00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:10,800
Speaker 1: a practice where that was a survival practice, and we

282
00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:12,840
Speaker 1: had plenty of those like at the end where they're

283
00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:17,000
Speaker 1: all about survival but they look pretty fresh. Well, Bernardrick

284
00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:18,800
Speaker 1: went over to Deep and was like, hey, just you

285
00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:21,440
Speaker 1: just give me a second. It took like a minute

286
00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:23,800
Speaker 1: and then it was like turning Cameron, you've never known.

287
00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:26,560
Speaker 1: They had a double espresso and they did. The interview

288
00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:29,560
Speaker 1: was fine after that, all right, Next up, we've been

289

00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:34,480
Speaker 1: know him better? Your starter. Okay, Drew Doherty does a

291
00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:38,160
Speaker 1: dirty dozen questions with Lamar. Let's get to know him

292
00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:41,880
Speaker 1: even more. John McClain joins us at eight thirty. Let's

293
00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:43,920
Speaker 1: talk about this running back situation a little bit more

294
00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:46,080
Speaker 1: and what he expects out of these joint practices with

295
00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:50,960
Speaker 1: the Green Bay Packers. Here in the shadows of Lambo Field,

301
00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:23,000
Speaker 1: start those conversations. I don't even I mean, with two

302
00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:26,040
Speaker 1: practices against the Packers, I wouldn't even do it. I

303
00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:29,000
Speaker 1: wouldn't even play him. I probably wouldn't either. It's not

304
00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:30,920
Speaker 1: like last year where he just needed to sort of

305
00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:34,280
Speaker 1: rebaptize him to NFL action. He played in that first

306
00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:36,040
Speaker 1: game against the chief and Chiefs and I think he

307
00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:39,320
Speaker 1: threw four passes. And we're at the Don Hudson Center,

308
00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:45,200
Speaker 1: Lembo Field, Texans Packers practicing this morning. Not underway yet,

309
00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:47,720
Speaker 1: but we'll let you know. And it's just a gorgeous

310
00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:51,200
Speaker 1: day for Texans practice in Green Bay with the game

311
00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:54,400
Speaker 1: Thursday night. So yeah, a little bit of action last year.

312
00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:57,280
Speaker 1: I'm kind of with you, Johnny. If you feel good

313
00:15:57,280 --> 00:15:59,720
Speaker 1: about what he got in these next two days, why

314
00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:03,440
Speaker 1: go at all? And I gotta say from a preseason context,

315
00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:05,080
Speaker 1: and you know how I always say this, I'm in

316
00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:08,440
Speaker 1: the oppressed minority of people who absolutely love preseason games. Yes, now,

317
00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:11,440
Speaker 1: I think there's nothing most people. Ratings will prove this.

318
00:16:12,040 --> 00:16:16,520
Speaker 1: Most people they're watching, Okay, they're watching. So you might say, ah,

319
00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:19,160
Speaker 1: it's not cool to like preseason, But here's what's cool

320
00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:20,960
Speaker 1: about it. I want to see a J mccare don't

321
00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:22,600
Speaker 1: want to see him in the regular season. I want

322
00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:24,880
Speaker 1: to see J mccairn play, though, And we're gonna get

323
00:16:24,960 --> 00:16:27,280
Speaker 1: him for at least a couple of quarters at least.

324
00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:29,040
Speaker 1: You know what I would do. I would play J

325
00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:31,240
Speaker 1: mccarren first half to a web second half. That's what

326
00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:33,760
Speaker 1: I would do. Oh, Joe gets a whole half. Yeah,

327
00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:37,600
Speaker 1: show is gonna like that. The reason you played the

328
00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:40,280
Speaker 1: Sean last year I think was he was coming off

329
00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:42,080
Speaker 1: the ACL. He had to have some confidence, he had

330
00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:44,800
Speaker 1: the game speed had to ramp up for him. Yeah,

331
00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:46,280
Speaker 1: so you had to kind of ramp that up a

332
00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:48,640
Speaker 1: little bit for him. And so they did that one

333
00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:52,240
Speaker 1: series against Kansas City, and I think he had one

334
00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:53,960
Speaker 1: series the next week, and I think the Rams he

335
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:56,800
Speaker 1: had a couple series. I think that's what you do. Listen.

336
00:16:56,840 --> 00:17:00,320
Speaker 1: I don't think Hop shouldn't play any of the pre season.

337
00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:03,920
Speaker 1: Maybe maybe Week three, maybe Week three, JJ is gonna

338
00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:07,320
Speaker 1: play Thursday, maybe two plays. You gotta get him in.

339
00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:10,359
Speaker 1: You just gotta get him on the tee. I mean,

340
00:17:10,520 --> 00:17:14,600
Speaker 1: you're gonna have a You're gonna have There's no way

341
00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:16,639
Speaker 1: that he could not play I mean, he will go

342
00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:19,040
Speaker 1: ballistic over there. He'll be an obesier like the whole time,

343
00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:20,479
Speaker 1: like I want to play, want to play. By the way,

344
00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:24,120
Speaker 1: we now interrupt regularly scheduled programming to remind or tell

345
00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:25,960
Speaker 1: the audience for the first time that you ruined it

346
00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:28,840
Speaker 1: for me frozen tundra, because you pointed out that's where

347
00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:33,800
Speaker 1: tundra literally means frozen ground. And so you're saying frozen frozen.

348
00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:37,080
Speaker 1: It's like saying ATM machine or the SEC Conference, Oh,

349
00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:40,919
Speaker 1: that's right, or NFL football National Football League football as

350
00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:44,720
Speaker 1: opposed to soccer. But that's okay, though, what how is

351
00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:49,639
Speaker 1: that NFL football it's as opposed to college football, but

352
00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:53,000
Speaker 1: the professional So you're saying it's frozen frozen. It's like

353
00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:56,640
Speaker 1: twice baked, it's twice frozen. We'll say professional foot which

354
00:17:56,640 --> 00:18:00,720
Speaker 1: could happen, by the way, but you separate NFL, l CFL,

355
00:18:01,040 --> 00:18:05,160
Speaker 1: Arena League by saying football acial football. Just say it's

356
00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:08,520
Speaker 1: the NFL. You're right, all right, college football, NFL, All right,

357
00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:12,960
Speaker 1: Now back to our regularly scheduled programming. So yeah, I think, boy,

358
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:16,119
Speaker 1: if you're right about that, Webb playing a whole half

359
00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:19,919
Speaker 1: of football. That's good last year. He played a significant

360
00:18:20,280 --> 00:18:22,800
Speaker 1: amount in that game against Kansas City. Yeah. I know

361
00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:26,320
Speaker 1: this is hardly a marquee news here, but for Webb himself,

362
00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:30,120
Speaker 1: there's always pressure every year wherever he is, he's gonna

363
00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:32,840
Speaker 1: get cut because he has to be able to do

364
00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:36,000
Speaker 1: it on specialty, Yes, has to, and he's got to

365
00:18:36,040 --> 00:18:39,400
Speaker 1: be so good that and he's gotta be good enough

366
00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:41,399
Speaker 1: at third stree quarterback. If he's not good enough at

367
00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:43,840
Speaker 1: third string quarterback or whatever wherever you put him on

368
00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:46,040
Speaker 1: the depth chart, the special teams, I don't want to

369
00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:47,520
Speaker 1: say almost don't matter, but you're gonna have to be

370
00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:50,760
Speaker 1: unbelievable at special teams. You're gonna do be just a

371
00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:53,240
Speaker 1: shining star because if they feel like they can't use

372
00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:55,360
Speaker 1: you a quarterback. I got a quick question for you though,

373
00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:57,720
Speaker 1: and I want to ask Bill O'Brien this, why don't

374
00:18:57,800 --> 00:19:00,840
Speaker 1: more quarterbacks who are that athletic? And there are some

375
00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:04,320
Speaker 1: go that route, you know what I mean. Some don't

376
00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:06,760
Speaker 1: want to, some just don't want to do it. That's

377
00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:10,960
Speaker 1: job sec listen, I know, but some guys are like,

378
00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:12,960
Speaker 1: all I've ever played a quarterback. That's all I want

379
00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:14,640
Speaker 1: to do is play quarterback and if I'm gonna play

380
00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:16,840
Speaker 1: in the NFL, I'm gonna play play as a quarterback.

381
00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:21,399
Speaker 1: Some some guys just don't want to do it. I mean, honestly,

382
00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:23,320
Speaker 1: it's as simple as that. Some guys just don't want

383
00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:26,320
Speaker 1: to do it. But it's better making that kind of money.

384
00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:29,400
Speaker 1: And again i'm talking like a max contract money. We're talking.

385
00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:31,840
Speaker 1: But it's better than probably what you're gonna get doing

386
00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:34,080
Speaker 1: anything else in the short I mean, it's it's it's

387
00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:37,600
Speaker 1: akin to Okay, you came to me and said, all right, John,

388
00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:39,520
Speaker 1: you can stay with Texans Radio, but you have to

389
00:19:39,680 --> 00:19:42,240
Speaker 1: drive every show as opposed to playing off the ball

390
00:19:42,320 --> 00:19:44,600
Speaker 1: like I like to do when you're not together. I'd

391
00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:46,800
Speaker 1: have to do that, Like all right, I'd like being

392
00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:48,600
Speaker 1: in this role, but hey, if this is where I

393
00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:50,880
Speaker 1: where I'm gonna make my money, I'm gonna keep my job.

394
00:19:51,040 --> 00:19:52,560
Speaker 1: But there are guys that don't do that. I think

395
00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:54,680
Speaker 1: more players. Here's the other here's the other part of

396
00:19:54,720 --> 00:20:00,520
Speaker 1: it too. Those players have to see and usualize what

397
00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:03,399
Speaker 1: it's gonna look like. So the more Taysom Hills you have,

398
00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:06,600
Speaker 1: the more Joe Webbs you have, the better off you're

399
00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:09,520
Speaker 1: gonna have a quarterback saying hey, I can do that. Yeah,

400
00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:11,920
Speaker 1: Like Nick Fitzgerald from Missisippi State was a great example

401
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:13,520
Speaker 1: last year. I thought he would have been a perfect

402
00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:16,399
Speaker 1: like Taysom Hill type player, like somebody can draft him

403
00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:18,520
Speaker 1: and use him like the Saints use Taysom Hill. He

404
00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:21,760
Speaker 1: doesn't play every play, but he's vital. He's vital because

405
00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:24,399
Speaker 1: they use him with Drew Brees on the field like

406
00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:26,919
Speaker 1: they're on the field together. And there be times when

407
00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:29,520
Speaker 1: Taysom Hill is taking a shotgun snap and Drew Brees

408
00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:32,480
Speaker 1: is out wide acting like he's Michael Thomas. So there's

409
00:20:32,520 --> 00:20:34,000
Speaker 1: a lot you can do with a player like That's

410
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:36,480
Speaker 1: why I'm glad we have Joe Webb. I'm thrilled that

411
00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:38,119
Speaker 1: we have a player like Joe Webb that we can

412
00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:41,639
Speaker 1: do things. And he's active on game day right because

413
00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:43,199
Speaker 1: he's part of the forty six because he's so good

414
00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:44,840
Speaker 1: on special team. So I think you're right. I think

415
00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:47,760
Speaker 1: more quarterbacks will decide to do that once they see

416
00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:51,119
Speaker 1: that it's been successful. Because if if if you have

417
00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:54,080
Speaker 1: an idea but no NFL team is doing it, then

418
00:20:54,280 --> 00:20:55,919
Speaker 1: like NFL teams going, well, I don't I don't want

419
00:20:55,920 --> 00:20:57,159
Speaker 1: to do it. But now that Taysom Hill's doing it.

420
00:20:57,200 --> 00:20:58,320
Speaker 1: You walk in and you say, you know what, I

421
00:20:58,359 --> 00:21:00,359
Speaker 1: want to be that kind of player for you, and

422
00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:03,200
Speaker 1: they'll be like, okay, we can do that as promised. Now,

423
00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:06,400
Speaker 1: Lamar Miller, you're starting running back. Running backs a hot

424
00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:09,040
Speaker 1: topic in the last twenty four thirty six hours. Let's

425
00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:11,960
Speaker 1: hear from Drew and Lamar. You get running back, Lamar

426
00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:14,760
Speaker 1: Miller with Us and Lamar time to play twelve questions,

427
00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:18,320
Speaker 1: a dirty dozen. Let's start things off with. You've dieted before,

428
00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:21,040
Speaker 1: So what's the worst part of a diet? The worst

429
00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:23,760
Speaker 1: food you had to eat? The worst food? So I

430
00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:26,359
Speaker 1: forgot what it's called. It's called I think a call

431
00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:31,720
Speaker 1: with a qua. I'm not sure. Keenowa that's that's what

432
00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:34,240
Speaker 1: it is. Yeah, it looks like quittowa. Yeah. Yeah. My

433
00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:37,240
Speaker 1: first time China, I really didn't like it, but it

434
00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:41,720
Speaker 1: grew on me over time. Taste a little bit like sawdust, yeah, okay.

435
00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:43,280
Speaker 1: On the flip side of things, you get to cheat

436
00:21:43,320 --> 00:21:44,760
Speaker 1: every once in a while in a diet. What would

437
00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:46,679
Speaker 1: you cheat with or how would you cheat? Or get

438
00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:50,080
Speaker 1: burgers and fries? I love five guys. I like sea

439
00:21:50,320 --> 00:21:52,720
Speaker 1: as well. That's my cheat man, I normally go there,

440
00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:56,119
Speaker 1: get a cheeseburgers, some fries, cheeseburger and fries. Okay, on

441
00:21:56,280 --> 00:21:58,920
Speaker 1: the cheeseburger, what are the other topics? What else do

442
00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:00,760
Speaker 1: you put on? I'm a peple, guys, so I just

443
00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:05,159
Speaker 1: get catch up mayo, mustard and lettuce. That's not too simple, though.

444
00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:07,399
Speaker 1: There's people I got five year olds, so they just

445
00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:10,480
Speaker 1: have like straight patty and bun. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, I'm

446
00:22:10,520 --> 00:22:13,719
Speaker 1: not that simple. Okay, hey, you're running back. Favorite all

447
00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:18,960
Speaker 1: time running back is I say Barry Saunders because he

448
00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:21,600
Speaker 1: made guys miss you know once he once he got

449
00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:24,800
Speaker 1: the ball. He was a very assiding player to watch,

450
00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:26,959
Speaker 1: so you know, growing up I used to office watch him.

451
00:22:27,040 --> 00:22:30,240
Speaker 1: Favorite part of training camp is Jay Belding, the chemistry

452
00:22:30,320 --> 00:22:32,600
Speaker 1: with your teammates, the bond. You know, you're here all

453
00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:34,680
Speaker 1: day for the most part, so you might as well

454
00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:36,840
Speaker 1: just try to get to know your teammates and just

455
00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:39,080
Speaker 1: see where they from. Man, you know how they were

456
00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:42,160
Speaker 1: raised teams like that. On a hot day like today,

457
00:22:42,359 --> 00:22:44,800
Speaker 1: best way to cool off after training camp practice is

458
00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:47,600
Speaker 1: ah man, just getting into ac I don't know if

459
00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:49,920
Speaker 1: you see me, but I'll be over there behind that

460
00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:52,440
Speaker 1: fan when I'm not on the field, just to cool

461
00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:55,200
Speaker 1: down a little bit. Yeah, the CRZ that that big.

462
00:22:55,320 --> 00:22:58,119
Speaker 1: It's kind of like a trailer and it's thirty five degrees.

463
00:22:58,440 --> 00:22:59,760
Speaker 1: First time you went in there, what was it like?

464
00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:02,679
Speaker 1: Oh man, I was enough for like twenty seconds, because normally,

465
00:23:03,040 --> 00:23:05,359
Speaker 1: if I'm in there, like if I'm somewhere a cold

466
00:23:05,400 --> 00:23:08,159
Speaker 1: and have to come back somewhere hot, I normally crump up.

467
00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:10,600
Speaker 1: So I just went in there to cool off for

468
00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:13,119
Speaker 1: like a couple of seconds and then got up out

469
00:23:13,119 --> 00:23:14,840
Speaker 1: of there. Well, you're a Miami guy, so you're kind

470
00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:17,080
Speaker 1: of ustall this, right. Yeah, I'm used to it. I

471
00:23:17,240 --> 00:23:19,360
Speaker 1: turned in the off season and the song, so it's

472
00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:22,000
Speaker 1: not too bad. But it's nothing like once you put

473
00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:24,680
Speaker 1: the pass and stuff on, I feel like it's good,

474
00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:28,680
Speaker 1: even hotter. Miami heating humidity versus Houston heating humidity, what's

475
00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:31,480
Speaker 1: the difference, To be honest, I think sometimes in Miami

476
00:23:31,560 --> 00:23:35,280
Speaker 1: you get like a cool breeze, so every nowaday it

477
00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:37,920
Speaker 1: get hot in Miami, But I feel like here you

478
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:41,240
Speaker 1: really don't get that breeze. So I'll say that Houston

479
00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:43,960
Speaker 1: heat is is worse, all right. Best dresser on the

480
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:47,440
Speaker 1: team is myself. How come because I have a little

481
00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:49,439
Speaker 1: sauce swag coming to the game. I try to keep

482
00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:52,000
Speaker 1: it simple every now and then, but I'm not too

483
00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:53,680
Speaker 1: much of a flashy guy. I feel like i'd be

484
00:23:53,800 --> 00:23:56,840
Speaker 1: simple and clean, nice confidence. I like that best hair

485
00:23:56,960 --> 00:23:59,440
Speaker 1: on the team belongs to I like Will how he

486
00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:02,920
Speaker 1: got to love tip blonde. I like the combination Will

487
00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:05,440
Speaker 1: Fuller has. Yeah, the dreads with the little blood. He's

488
00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:07,040
Speaker 1: got named by quite a few of your teammates that

489
00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:09,520
Speaker 1: have done this interview, So he's doing pretty well. I'm

490
00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:12,160
Speaker 1: glad he's keeping his hair up, so that's the good thing.

491
00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:16,159
Speaker 1: Who's the messiest Houston Texans? The messiest? I don't want

492
00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:18,600
Speaker 1: to prejudice your answers, but Bernardrick McKinney has been named

493
00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:20,680
Speaker 1: the message by quite a few of your teammates. Yeah,

494
00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:22,720
Speaker 1: you go, b Mad is one of them. I'm trying

495
00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:26,040
Speaker 1: to think of somebody else, but I think he's one

496
00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:27,840
Speaker 1: of the top ones for sure. Give me a couple

497
00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:30,040
Speaker 1: of songs to help you get ready for a game.

498
00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:32,680
Speaker 1: For practice, get you pumped up. I normally listened to

499
00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:37,040
Speaker 1: Freestyle by Little Baby, and I also listened to this

500
00:24:37,280 --> 00:24:40,640
Speaker 1: Miami song It say closest to my dream. It's about

501
00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:43,440
Speaker 1: Iceberg just growing up. I just always listen to that song,

502
00:24:43,560 --> 00:24:46,280
Speaker 1: so it get me gone. It bringed bats memory of

503
00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:48,800
Speaker 1: where I come from, so it keeps me going. Which

504
00:24:49,119 --> 00:24:54,159
Speaker 1: Houston Texans player is the toughest to block? JJ? Him

505
00:24:54,240 --> 00:24:56,639
Speaker 1: and Clowney Sometimes when I'll try to tip them, they

506
00:24:56,720 --> 00:24:58,920
Speaker 1: got long on so they put their hands their arms

507
00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:01,200
Speaker 1: on me and I I'm really get that close to

508
00:25:01,280 --> 00:25:04,240
Speaker 1: him and they scroll. So Whitney as well. He used

509
00:25:04,280 --> 00:25:07,159
Speaker 1: his hands pretty well. I say, JJ and County, they

510
00:25:07,280 --> 00:25:09,719
Speaker 1: both they both touched the blow. You're thankful you only

511
00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:11,119
Speaker 1: have to deal with them in camp and during the

512
00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:13,320
Speaker 1: week and not on Sunday. So that's that's the best

513
00:25:13,359 --> 00:25:15,119
Speaker 1: part of I'm glad to have them two guys on

514
00:25:15,240 --> 00:25:18,040

528
00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:07,120
Speaker 1: at lambeau Field. My first time here was nineteen eighty

529
00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:11,520
Speaker 1: forty years ago. John. We're on the level of all

530
00:26:11,560 --> 00:26:13,440
Speaker 1: the stadiums that you've been through, all the places that

531
00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:16,280
Speaker 1: you go. Where does this one rank for you to go?

532
00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:21,439
Speaker 1: Visit number one? Because it's the cathedral of football and fans,

533
00:26:21,560 --> 00:26:23,560
Speaker 1: Like I was walking up here and maybe this happened

534
00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:25,280
Speaker 1: to you. I was walking down the street from the

535
00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:28,960
Speaker 1: media lot on the other side of the Don Hudson

536
00:26:29,119 --> 00:26:32,960
Speaker 1: Center across in the parking lot for Lambo, and the

537
00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:35,359
Speaker 1: fans were lined up and I have my Texans media

538
00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:37,879
Speaker 1: pass and a bunch of them kept saying, welcome to

539
00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:41,280
Speaker 1: green Bay, Welcome to green Bay. The fans, dear, are

540
00:26:41,640 --> 00:26:46,000
Speaker 1: the most knowledgeable. They are, they are the greatest, and

541
00:26:46,160 --> 00:26:49,000
Speaker 1: they are just the friendliest ever. I tell everybody. If

542
00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:52,680
Speaker 1: you're gonna do two things as a football fan NFL fan,

543
00:26:53,440 --> 00:26:56,679
Speaker 1: go to lambeau Field, preferably in the winter, not at

544
00:26:56,760 --> 00:26:59,520
Speaker 1: times like this because the weather's too nice and you

545
00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:02,520
Speaker 1: don't get full effect two nice. But like when we

546
00:27:02,640 --> 00:27:05,960
Speaker 1: were here for the Texans and Packers and what was sixteen, Yeah,

547
00:27:06,119 --> 00:27:09,200
Speaker 1: and it was December and it snowed. It was not

548
00:27:09,920 --> 00:27:12,480
Speaker 1: a bad wind, it just snow came down like a

549
00:27:12,600 --> 00:27:15,639
Speaker 1: winter wonderland. That's the way it's supposed to be. And

550
00:27:15,800 --> 00:27:19,159
Speaker 1: then I'll tell him go to Canton and to Canton

551
00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:22,160
Speaker 1: to the Hall of Fame. Those are the two greatest

552
00:27:22,240 --> 00:27:24,840
Speaker 1: things in pro football to me. I'm excited to see

553
00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:27,600
Speaker 1: the Packer Hall of Fame later, which will be awesome.

554
00:27:27,640 --> 00:27:30,040
Speaker 1: We'll be broadcasting from in it or near it, so

555
00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:32,840
Speaker 1: that'll be cool. It's just such a terrific place. And

556
00:27:33,119 --> 00:27:36,160
Speaker 1: you mentioned Canton, and I know all the ceremonies took

557
00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:38,400
Speaker 1: place over the weekend, but here you have a live

558
00:27:38,520 --> 00:27:41,280
Speaker 1: NFL team playing to go along with all the history

559
00:27:41,359 --> 00:27:43,359
Speaker 1: and it's one hundred years old and it's just terrific.

560
00:27:43,640 --> 00:27:46,320
Speaker 1: John running back situation. I know you were on. In fact,

561
00:27:46,359 --> 00:27:48,320
Speaker 1: you heard it in the promo. John McClain was on

562
00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:51,600
Speaker 1: sports Radio six ten yesterday giving us thoughts on the situation.

563
00:27:52,119 --> 00:27:54,399
Speaker 1: But let's go over it as it was a bit

564
00:27:54,440 --> 00:27:58,119
Speaker 1: of a surprise Deonte Foreman released by the team. We

565
00:27:58,320 --> 00:28:01,000
Speaker 1: all had a lot of whole that he would be

566
00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:03,560
Speaker 1: able to contribute, and I think the ceiling we all

567
00:28:03,600 --> 00:28:06,920
Speaker 1: agree was pretty high for him here, but obviously that's

568
00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:09,480
Speaker 1: not going to happen. Your thoughts. When I found that out,

569
00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:13,439
Speaker 1: I wasn't that surprise because I'd been hearing from people

570
00:28:13,560 --> 00:28:17,480
Speaker 1: that he came back in really good shape, but he

571
00:28:17,680 --> 00:28:20,960
Speaker 1: wasn't getting with the program on special teams, and Deonte

572
00:28:21,280 --> 00:28:24,240
Speaker 1: was always last or next, the last guy on the field.

573
00:28:24,840 --> 00:28:29,240
Speaker 1: He's been late a lot, and when they were hoping

574
00:28:29,280 --> 00:28:32,040
Speaker 1: he'd come back after the injuries third year kind of

575
00:28:32,119 --> 00:28:36,280
Speaker 1: make or break and grow up, get serious about football.

576
00:28:36,560 --> 00:28:40,880
Speaker 1: And every time, going back to when I ask O Brian,

577
00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:44,120
Speaker 1: I think it was nine days ago about talking about

578
00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:46,000
Speaker 1: the running backs behind the first two, and he said

579
00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:47,520
Speaker 1: who were the first two? And I told him he

580
00:28:47,600 --> 00:28:51,000
Speaker 1: goes Miller. The backup job is wide open. And every

581
00:28:51,040 --> 00:28:54,600
Speaker 1: time he's talked about the backup running back, since it's

582
00:28:54,680 --> 00:28:58,320
Speaker 1: all about special teams, they have to contribute on special teams,

583
00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:02,160
Speaker 1: and he did not mention forming one time. And we

584
00:29:02,280 --> 00:29:05,400
Speaker 1: all know Deonte didn't like playing special teams and wasn't

585
00:29:05,440 --> 00:29:09,520
Speaker 1: good at it, and so he wasn't any one particular

586
00:29:09,640 --> 00:29:13,000
Speaker 1: reason is they just saw more of the same and

587
00:29:13,120 --> 00:29:16,320
Speaker 1: they did him a favor, really, and it gives them

588
00:29:16,440 --> 00:29:19,080
Speaker 1: more time. But coming up, because he's got time to

589
00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:22,360
Speaker 1: go try out for another other teams, and hopefully it's

590
00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:25,120
Speaker 1: a wake up call for Deonte. He's a good guy.

591
00:29:25,160 --> 00:29:28,200
Speaker 1: He's not a bad guy. Everybody likes him. It's his

592
00:29:28,320 --> 00:29:31,280
Speaker 1: third year in the league. He just got to be serious.

593
00:29:31,400 --> 00:29:34,800
Speaker 1: You can't miss reab when you're reabbing, you can't be

594
00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:38,400
Speaker 1: late to meetings and get pied. And so hopefully when

595
00:29:38,440 --> 00:29:41,479
Speaker 1: he goes with another team, that'll all be behind him

596
00:29:41,480 --> 00:29:43,800
Speaker 1: and he'll go in all gunga hole off the field

597
00:29:43,920 --> 00:29:46,480
Speaker 1: as well as on the field. And now they have

598
00:29:46,600 --> 00:29:48,680
Speaker 1: all these backup running backs who are going to get

599
00:29:48,680 --> 00:29:50,880
Speaker 1: a lot of time in the next two practices and

600
00:29:51,040 --> 00:29:53,720
Speaker 1: in the game Thursday night, because I'm doubting Lamar Miller

601
00:29:53,840 --> 00:29:55,920
Speaker 1: is going to play, and they know what Lamar can do.

602
00:29:56,040 --> 00:29:58,480
Speaker 1: They don't need to see him. Yeah, absolutely, They're gonna

603
00:29:58,520 --> 00:30:01,280
Speaker 1: use him a ton during the years. So that begs

604
00:30:01,320 --> 00:30:03,480
Speaker 1: the question that Mark asked me John a little while ago.

605
00:30:03,760 --> 00:30:06,680
Speaker 1: Is the number two, number two running back? I mean,

606
00:30:06,760 --> 00:30:09,120
Speaker 1: Lamar's clear the number one, So yes, is the number

607
00:30:09,120 --> 00:30:11,800
Speaker 1: two running back on this roster? Or are they gonna

608
00:30:11,840 --> 00:30:14,280
Speaker 1: go out and find one? I know you tweeted out

609
00:30:14,280 --> 00:30:16,520
Speaker 1: about Melvin Gordon that that just don't worry about it.

610
00:30:17,360 --> 00:30:19,800
Speaker 1: They don't come at me with this hashtag not coming.

611
00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:23,280
Speaker 1: Is the number two running back on this roster? That

612
00:30:23,560 --> 00:30:25,959
Speaker 1: d Melvin Gordon could be somebody else, But might they

613
00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:28,560
Speaker 1: bring somebody into be the number two guy? Yeah? If

614
00:30:28,600 --> 00:30:30,520
Speaker 1: you think about the guys on this team, who was

615
00:30:30,640 --> 00:30:34,280
Speaker 1: number two last year? Alfred Blood Alfred Gaine four hundred

616
00:30:34,320 --> 00:30:38,120
Speaker 1: some yards three point five yards to carry cop passes,

617
00:30:38,200 --> 00:30:41,600
Speaker 1: but he was really good on special teams. When Lamar

618
00:30:41,680 --> 00:30:43,880
Speaker 1: Miller needs a breather or he gets hurt, he missed

619
00:30:43,920 --> 00:30:45,560
Speaker 1: two and a half games last year. They got to

620
00:30:45,640 --> 00:30:50,120
Speaker 1: have somebody capable of stepping up as a runner, as

621
00:30:50,200 --> 00:30:54,160
Speaker 1: a receiver, and as a pass protector. That is so important,

622
00:30:54,600 --> 00:30:57,400
Speaker 1: and Miller's great at that. People wonder why the world

623
00:30:57,440 --> 00:31:00,640
Speaker 1: do they have Lamar Miller he's not a great well

624
00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:03,760
Speaker 1: he does other things, and in the NFL today it's

625
00:31:03,760 --> 00:31:06,520
Speaker 1: all about the passing game, not the running attack. So

626
00:31:06,680 --> 00:31:09,640
Speaker 1: I think the other could be we don't know now

627
00:31:09,720 --> 00:31:13,240
Speaker 1: that Bill's in charge, would he be more likely to

628
00:31:13,360 --> 00:31:15,960
Speaker 1: trade draft choices or is he gonna wait till somebody

629
00:31:16,040 --> 00:31:21,520
Speaker 1: gets cut. If you guys know this, the position has

630
00:31:21,600 --> 00:31:25,760
Speaker 1: been devalued. You can find running backs. The key is

631
00:31:25,800 --> 00:31:28,280
Speaker 1: finding a guy who's gonna fit what you want. And

632
00:31:28,480 --> 00:31:32,560
Speaker 1: remember this, O'Brien constantly talks about the team concept being

633
00:31:32,600 --> 00:31:35,920
Speaker 1: a good teammate. Clint Stirner that had a tweet that

634
00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:39,000
Speaker 1: I read tweeted about it's not hard to ask a

635
00:31:39,120 --> 00:31:42,120
Speaker 1: player to be on time to do all the things

636
00:31:42,200 --> 00:31:45,800
Speaker 1: you need behind the scenes. So I think they'll we're

637
00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:48,479
Speaker 1: gonna see guys get tried out. And I think if

638
00:31:48,560 --> 00:31:51,760
Speaker 1: somebody gets cut, they like, you know, Matt Basigan and

639
00:31:51,880 --> 00:31:54,840
Speaker 1: his staff or Rob Kissel, the pro personnel director, they

640
00:31:54,920 --> 00:31:58,800
Speaker 1: got less at every position and the first gap becomes available,

641
00:31:58,880 --> 00:32:01,480
Speaker 1: they like to be all over. Well, a lot of

642
00:32:01,480 --> 00:32:04,640
Speaker 1: people are saying, now, why not get somebody in the

643
00:32:04,720 --> 00:32:07,080
Speaker 1: off season, let's go retroactive here. Did you see these

644
00:32:07,160 --> 00:32:09,200
Speaker 1: things coming? With Foreman, and I got to go back

645
00:32:09,240 --> 00:32:11,800
Speaker 1: to Bill O'Brien saying positive things about Dante in the

646
00:32:11,880 --> 00:32:15,280
Speaker 1: off season throughout the OTA period because it looked like

647
00:32:15,440 --> 00:32:17,920
Speaker 1: things were trending in the right direction. But that doesn't

648
00:32:18,040 --> 00:32:21,360
Speaker 1: clearly doesn't mean they're going to go on forever. Something changed.

649
00:32:21,480 --> 00:32:24,520
Speaker 1: It just didn't take. It wasn't happening, and they had

650
00:32:24,560 --> 00:32:27,120
Speaker 1: to make the move. And that's why they didn't get

651
00:32:27,240 --> 00:32:30,480
Speaker 1: aggressive in free agency with a bag or draft somebody high.

652
00:32:30,680 --> 00:32:33,480
Speaker 1: Even though Johnny you pointed out, Hey, who you're gonna draft?

653
00:32:33,520 --> 00:32:35,160
Speaker 1: I mean, you had other needs as well, so it

654
00:32:35,240 --> 00:32:40,280
Speaker 1: makes it difficult. They didn't draft anybody because he was

655
00:32:40,360 --> 00:32:43,120
Speaker 1: read the Riot Act bo Brian and his exit interview

656
00:32:43,720 --> 00:32:46,000
Speaker 1: and total him, you better get with the program. You

657
00:32:46,120 --> 00:32:49,600
Speaker 1: better come back here in shape, because he never worked

658
00:32:49,640 --> 00:32:51,479
Speaker 1: as hard as he should have to be in shape,

659
00:32:51,800 --> 00:32:54,600
Speaker 1: and you better be serious about football. That includes on

660
00:32:54,760 --> 00:32:57,840
Speaker 1: and off the field. So he did all those workout

661
00:32:58,000 --> 00:33:01,920
Speaker 1: videos he posted on Instagram showed him he was determined.

662
00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:04,600
Speaker 1: He came back in shape and they liked it. You know.

663
00:33:04,640 --> 00:33:08,480
Speaker 1: O'Brien said good things about him, so did his teammates,

664
00:33:09,280 --> 00:33:12,040
Speaker 1: and he came back. But then he reverted to his

665
00:33:12,120 --> 00:33:15,200
Speaker 1: same old habits, and so that's why they were fired

666
00:33:15,280 --> 00:33:17,200
Speaker 1: up about him. They wanted to give him a chance.

667
00:33:17,760 --> 00:33:21,840
Speaker 1: And and now and now he's gone. Well, guys, I

668
00:33:21,960 --> 00:33:24,280
Speaker 1: hate to do what I accuse a lot of people doing,

669
00:33:24,360 --> 00:33:26,040
Speaker 1: but I think it's for good reason. I hate to

670
00:33:26,080 --> 00:33:28,640
Speaker 1: go Patriots on everyone here, but when I look at

671
00:33:28,720 --> 00:33:32,280
Speaker 1: how they handle the running game, gentlemen, and the amount

672
00:33:32,320 --> 00:33:34,680
Speaker 1: of people they have, and they do have some name

673
00:33:34,720 --> 00:33:37,200
Speaker 1: Rex Burkehead, a guy who's done some things around the league,

674
00:33:37,200 --> 00:33:39,120
Speaker 1: and they got a bunch of running backs, and just

675
00:33:39,240 --> 00:33:42,320
Speaker 1: to see how they handle the position. They've got depth

676
00:33:42,400 --> 00:33:45,520
Speaker 1: there and they used those guys and it seems like

677
00:33:45,920 --> 00:33:48,400
Speaker 1: they've got a guy for every situation. And maybe that's

678
00:33:48,400 --> 00:33:50,520
Speaker 1: what they're angling for here. I think they would like

679
00:33:50,600 --> 00:33:53,600
Speaker 1: to have that, but it's easier said than done. They

680
00:33:53,800 --> 00:33:56,560
Speaker 1: have to probably find more talent. But let's see what

681
00:33:56,680 --> 00:33:59,080
Speaker 1: they've got in these preseasons. They don't want to be

682
00:33:59,200 --> 00:34:01,720
Speaker 1: like the Patriots, not when it comes to the running back.

683
00:34:01,760 --> 00:34:04,680
Speaker 1: There's nobody who doesn't like the Patriots. They want to

684
00:34:04,720 --> 00:34:08,120
Speaker 1: have Miller being somewhere like a thousand yards. He hadn't

685
00:34:08,160 --> 00:34:09,920
Speaker 1: missed those two and a half games. He'd been over

686
00:34:10,520 --> 00:34:13,960
Speaker 1: eleven hundred twelve hundred yards and people go the Texans

687
00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:16,440
Speaker 1: are not desperate for running. The yard per carry was

688
00:34:16,600 --> 00:34:19,279
Speaker 1: very good, and and he didn't get to catch as

689
00:34:19,360 --> 00:34:22,120
Speaker 1: much because he had to block. And I think sometimes

690
00:34:22,160 --> 00:34:26,000
Speaker 1: people don't understand how important they put a significance on

691
00:34:26,160 --> 00:34:30,880
Speaker 1: blocking here and and so I think Lamarrow get the

692
00:34:30,960 --> 00:34:35,120
Speaker 1: heavy duty worked. They'll as somebody comes in, gets five, six, seven,

693
00:34:35,239 --> 00:34:37,560
Speaker 1: carries a game, Lamar gets shirt. They want that other

694
00:34:37,600 --> 00:34:40,560
Speaker 1: guy be able to step in. You never know what

695
00:34:40,680 --> 00:34:42,759
Speaker 1: if Alfred Blue gets cut. But then I don't. Yeah,

696
00:34:42,840 --> 00:34:44,919
Speaker 1: I knew I was coming. I knew that was coming.

697
00:34:44,960 --> 00:34:47,160
Speaker 1: And you know what I'm gonna I'm gonna say it.

698
00:34:47,320 --> 00:34:50,160
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say if Alfred Blue happened to be coming

699
00:34:50,200 --> 00:34:54,160
Speaker 1: the Jaguars and came back here, I'd be okay with it.

700
00:34:54,280 --> 00:34:56,040
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna be jumping for joy, but I'm not

701
00:34:56,040 --> 00:34:57,759
Speaker 1: gonna lose my unit one like a lot of people,

702
00:34:57,800 --> 00:34:59,879
Speaker 1: and what one thing would bother me though that means Jackson,

703
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:02,439
Speaker 1: It's pretty thick and right, Yeah, you know that would

704
00:35:02,520 --> 00:35:05,200
Speaker 1: bore than anything. Because Alfred coming back here is a

705
00:35:05,320 --> 00:35:07,480
Speaker 1: third guy or something that can help help out on

706
00:35:07,560 --> 00:35:09,959
Speaker 1: special teams. I would like that. I mean, I would

707
00:35:09,960 --> 00:35:11,400
Speaker 1: like to have a guy at number two that you

708
00:35:11,480 --> 00:35:14,080
Speaker 1: could turn to and say, Okay, take some of these reps,

709
00:35:14,160 --> 00:35:16,239
Speaker 1: catch them all in the backfield a little bit, and

710
00:35:16,880 --> 00:35:19,640
Speaker 1: be a poor man's Lamar Miller force. It bothers me

711
00:35:19,800 --> 00:35:22,480
Speaker 1: because there's so many fantasy geeks out there like Lamar

712
00:35:22,600 --> 00:35:25,359
Speaker 1: Miller didn't do this and do that. It's like, come on, man,

713
00:35:25,719 --> 00:35:28,239
Speaker 1: just because he didn't win you a fantasy championship, you

714
00:35:28,360 --> 00:35:30,439
Speaker 1: downgrade us some running back. This guy has been loyal,

715
00:35:30,520 --> 00:35:32,680
Speaker 1: he's been dependable. As John said, if you'd played in

716
00:35:32,719 --> 00:35:34,920
Speaker 1: those two games, yeah you know. I mean, look, he

717
00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:37,160
Speaker 1: was behind an offensive line last year that they gave

718
00:35:37,239 --> 00:35:40,319
Speaker 1: up sixty two sacks, so and it was changing a lot.

719
00:35:40,400 --> 00:35:42,960
Speaker 1: There were a lot of changing parts and moving parts

720
00:35:43,680 --> 00:35:46,279
Speaker 1: on the offensive line. So if he's got some he's

721
00:35:46,280 --> 00:35:48,239
Speaker 1: got some talent in front of him this year on

722
00:35:48,280 --> 00:35:50,239
Speaker 1: the offensive line, Lamar can have a pretty good year,

723
00:35:50,239 --> 00:35:52,920
Speaker 1: and obviously he's got to stay healthy. But I think John,

724
00:35:52,960 --> 00:35:55,840
Speaker 1: the big question to me is where's the market for

725
00:35:55,920 --> 00:35:58,400
Speaker 1: deante Foreman? And this is why I asked that, because

726
00:35:58,719 --> 00:36:00,680
Speaker 1: you said it. You don't like to play special teams.

727
00:36:01,080 --> 00:36:02,879
Speaker 1: I don't think he's going anywhere to be a number

728
00:36:02,960 --> 00:36:05,439
Speaker 1: one back, So if he's gonna be a number two back,

729
00:36:05,840 --> 00:36:07,759
Speaker 1: he's gonna have to be on special teams. He don't

730
00:36:07,760 --> 00:36:09,719
Speaker 1: want to do that. So I don't know that there's

731
00:36:09,760 --> 00:36:12,360
Speaker 1: as big a market as maybe some people think. I

732
00:36:12,400 --> 00:36:14,399
Speaker 1: don't know. What do you think about Yonte going somewhere else?

733
00:36:14,440 --> 00:36:17,040
Speaker 1: And I think he'll get opportunities because he's six one,

734
00:36:17,120 --> 00:36:19,080
Speaker 1: he's two thirty six, And if you look at the

735
00:36:19,120 --> 00:36:21,839
Speaker 1: tape before he got hurt, he showed he can catch

736
00:36:21,920 --> 00:36:24,759
Speaker 1: the ball and getting some yards after catch. And you

737
00:36:24,840 --> 00:36:27,239
Speaker 1: don't really know about special teams with him unless you

738
00:36:27,320 --> 00:36:30,120
Speaker 1: talk to people. But maybe this is a wake up

739
00:36:30,160 --> 00:36:32,080
Speaker 1: call for him. I better get with a program or

740
00:36:32,160 --> 00:36:33,799
Speaker 1: my career is gonna be over and I'll be back

741
00:36:33,840 --> 00:36:36,920
Speaker 1: in Texas City. And you hope it because he's a

742
00:36:36,960 --> 00:36:39,799
Speaker 1: good guy. Everybody likes him. But he's got to get

743
00:36:39,880 --> 00:36:44,160
Speaker 1: serious about the things besides playing offense. All right, John,

744
00:36:44,280 --> 00:36:48,040
Speaker 1: what else about Thursday night? What about DeShawn Watson playing time?

745
00:36:48,400 --> 00:36:51,960
Speaker 1: Give me some thoughts as we approach the first preseason game.

746
00:36:52,200 --> 00:36:54,319
Speaker 1: Of course, we have these two practices right in front

747
00:36:54,360 --> 00:36:57,880
Speaker 1: of us, here near lambeau Field. I have no idea

748
00:36:57,960 --> 00:37:00,600
Speaker 1: what they're gonna do with Watson. Maybe they play a series,

749
00:37:01,120 --> 00:37:04,480
Speaker 1: certainly not more than a series. I want to see

750
00:37:04,520 --> 00:37:10,239
Speaker 1: the backup running backs everybody will Crockett and Higden have

751
00:37:10,640 --> 00:37:14,799
Speaker 1: have flashed Josh Ferguson. They like him, but I don't

752
00:37:14,800 --> 00:37:17,040
Speaker 1: think they like him enough to be the backup. And

753
00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:21,200
Speaker 1: who else or somebody? Buddy? How They didn't like Buddy

754
00:37:21,320 --> 00:37:24,600
Speaker 1: enough last year to give him Accarey when they had injuries.

755
00:37:24,719 --> 00:37:28,800
Speaker 1: So maybe Buddy whose good size, good special teams player.

756
00:37:28,920 --> 00:37:31,799
Speaker 1: Maybe Buddy gets an opportunity all of a sudden. He's

757
00:37:31,880 --> 00:37:34,960
Speaker 1: better to think about that. They claimed him on waivers.

758
00:37:35,040 --> 00:37:38,480
Speaker 1: Ferguson was a veteran free agents signing on the street,

759
00:37:38,560 --> 00:37:41,400
Speaker 1: and then the other two are undrafted free agents. They

760
00:37:41,440 --> 00:37:44,200
Speaker 1: gotta get another back John. What about these practices with

761
00:37:44,320 --> 00:37:46,840
Speaker 1: green Bay? I know the game is valuable in and

762
00:37:46,920 --> 00:37:49,040
Speaker 1: of itself on Thursday night, but what about these two

763
00:37:49,120 --> 00:37:51,359
Speaker 1: practices with Green Bay? And I don't know if he'll

764
00:37:51,400 --> 00:37:52,799
Speaker 1: tell you a lot about the team, but I'm sure

765
00:37:52,840 --> 00:37:54,440
Speaker 1: they'll give you a few more answers. What do you

766
00:37:54,480 --> 00:37:57,439
Speaker 1: think about these inner squad scrimmages? Basically want to see

767
00:37:57,480 --> 00:38:01,280
Speaker 1: the draft choices, the undrafted free agents, the new players,

768
00:38:01,760 --> 00:38:04,239
Speaker 1: the guys coming off injuries. I want to see what

769
00:38:04,680 --> 00:38:08,400
Speaker 1: going on one on one drills against their pass protectors.

770
00:38:08,560 --> 00:38:12,959
Speaker 1: Want to see Titus Howard if he's healthy, and Max

771
00:38:13,080 --> 00:38:16,640
Speaker 1: sharping and Matt Khalil going against their pass rushers. I

772
00:38:16,800 --> 00:38:20,239
Speaker 1: liked those one on ones better than anything. And uh,

773
00:38:20,719 --> 00:38:23,319
Speaker 1: and they've got it orchestrated. Matt Lafloor, who was two

774
00:38:23,400 --> 00:38:26,880
Speaker 1: years with the Texans under Kubiak and O'Brien. They got

775
00:38:26,920 --> 00:38:28,560
Speaker 1: it all mapped out the way they want it. And

776
00:38:28,640 --> 00:38:32,359
Speaker 1: that's why coaches think these things are so productive. They

777
00:38:32,440 --> 00:38:34,920
Speaker 1: can control them. Of course, quarterbacks can't be hit, so

778
00:38:35,600 --> 00:38:38,680
Speaker 1: I can't wait. I'm excited about it. It's not as

779
00:38:39,000 --> 00:38:41,279
Speaker 1: I thought. The stands would be bigger and they would

780
00:38:41,440 --> 00:38:44,680
Speaker 1: have more room for fans. But that's why they line

781
00:38:44,760 --> 00:38:47,719
Speaker 1: up so early, because the stands it's it's like a

782
00:38:48,160 --> 00:38:51,160
Speaker 1: half of a high school field. The run for one

783
00:38:51,239 --> 00:38:54,120
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty yards though, because they've got two seven

784
00:38:54,200 --> 00:38:58,000
Speaker 1: yard fields. For like one hundred and fifty yards field,

785
00:38:58,239 --> 00:39:01,600
Speaker 1: what is there like seven rows? Yeah, there's not many rows, no,

786
00:39:01,880 --> 00:39:03,799
Speaker 1: but it goes for a while because you got two

787
00:39:03,880 --> 00:39:06,319
Speaker 1: seventy yard fields, it just goes ah And I guess

788
00:39:06,360 --> 00:39:08,800
Speaker 1: they can have people in the beyond the fences and

789
00:39:08,880 --> 00:39:11,520
Speaker 1: they have little stands out there three or four rows.

790
00:39:12,080 --> 00:39:14,560
Speaker 1: There's just not many like I thought they could. They

791
00:39:14,640 --> 00:39:17,800
Speaker 1: could put a whole lot more grand stands. Well, they

792
00:39:17,880 --> 00:39:21,839
Speaker 1: do a big Entra squad scrimmage in the stadium too here. Yeah, which,

793
00:39:21,880 --> 00:39:23,600
Speaker 1: by the way, it was sold out the other night,

794
00:39:23,800 --> 00:39:26,560
Speaker 1: Family Night. I think it was Friday night, completely filled,

795
00:39:27,560 --> 00:39:29,319
Speaker 1: completely filled. I mean it was free to go in there,

796
00:39:29,360 --> 00:39:31,680
Speaker 1: so I mean, think about it. I remember when I

797
00:39:31,800 --> 00:39:34,359
Speaker 1: lived in when I lived in Marinette, my dad got

798
00:39:34,400 --> 00:39:36,799
Speaker 1: on season ticket level right or on the second season

799
00:39:36,840 --> 00:39:39,319
Speaker 1: ticket wait list when he was coming out of college. Right.

800
00:39:40,360 --> 00:39:43,920
Speaker 1: He found out fifteen years later that he had gotten

801
00:39:44,000 --> 00:39:46,520
Speaker 1: season tickets and that's when he decided he wanted to

802
00:39:46,560 --> 00:39:49,239
Speaker 1: come to Houston and coach football, and so he did.

803
00:39:49,440 --> 00:39:53,239
Speaker 1: He didn't have an opportunity to them. Well, we got

804
00:39:53,360 --> 00:39:55,120
Speaker 1: rid of him, he like, I don't know what they

805
00:39:55,160 --> 00:39:57,080
Speaker 1: did with him, but he ended up getting rid of him. Um,

806
00:39:57,440 --> 00:39:59,319
Speaker 1: but a lot of people can't get in their sea game,

807
00:39:59,760 --> 00:40:02,359
Speaker 1: so they going to family night places. Pas. I wish

808
00:40:02,440 --> 00:40:05,040
Speaker 1: they had these practices over Lambeau. Think how many people

809
00:40:05,120 --> 00:40:07,600
Speaker 1: being oh my goodness, oh well that'd be lovely. But

810
00:40:07,719 --> 00:40:10,479
Speaker 1: we'll be there Thursday night, so we'll be there, John

811
00:40:10,600 --> 00:40:13,359
Speaker 1: Andrew Luck, what do you make of the situation? Uh?

812
00:40:13,640 --> 00:40:18,400
Speaker 1: I pro football talk is such, and they like to amplify. Certainly,

813
00:40:19,680 --> 00:40:22,640
Speaker 1: I gotta get hits. Yeah, And and they're saying, well,

814
00:40:22,760 --> 00:40:25,120
Speaker 1: you never know, he might not get to play. Listen

815
00:40:25,160 --> 00:40:28,399
Speaker 1: to his world. Read what he's saying. It sounds kind

816
00:40:28,440 --> 00:40:31,160
Speaker 1: of it sounds kind of foreboding. What do you make

817
00:40:31,200 --> 00:40:33,120
Speaker 1: of the strained cap and how long I might keep

818
00:40:33,200 --> 00:40:35,759
Speaker 1: him out? This time last year they kept saying he

819
00:40:35,880 --> 00:40:38,719
Speaker 1: was gonna play, but he was barely throwing a whiffle ball,

820
00:40:39,320 --> 00:40:42,239
Speaker 1: and he played pretty well. So I'm expecting that he

821
00:40:42,360 --> 00:40:45,719
Speaker 1: may not play in preseason some more and more quarterbacks

822
00:40:45,800 --> 00:40:48,440
Speaker 1: are not and that he'll be ready to go for

823
00:40:48,480 --> 00:40:51,520
Speaker 1: a regular season. That's the worst news all day. John,

824
00:40:51,760 --> 00:40:55,920
Speaker 1: And I'm just John, and you guys are just hoping.

825
00:40:56,040 --> 00:40:58,320
Speaker 1: You're hoping a guy gets hurt. No, No, we're not.

826
00:40:58,800 --> 00:41:03,480
Speaker 1: I want him to rap. I don't want want to

827
00:41:03,520 --> 00:41:06,800
Speaker 1: face him. I'm worried about a safety. I think he

828
00:41:06,840 --> 00:41:12,480
Speaker 1: should retire. Yes, fellow Houstonian, he's worried play in Houston, Daddy,

829
00:41:12,640 --> 00:41:15,399
Speaker 1: he can be a trailblazer. You help out your place.

830
00:41:15,760 --> 00:41:18,759
Speaker 1: June Jones wrapped up the big yards start. Be the

831
00:41:18,840 --> 00:41:24,520
Speaker 1: star of the league man, Yes, daddy, do it for

832
00:41:24,640 --> 00:41:27,120
Speaker 1: your pots. Yes, that's all we want. John. We don't

833
00:41:27,120 --> 00:41:29,360
Speaker 1: want him to be hurt. I don't want him to

834
00:41:29,360 --> 00:41:31,680
Speaker 1: be hurt. They don't play. Care what the seventh game?

835
00:41:32,040 --> 00:41:35,320
Speaker 1: Seventh game? Jannick and Gockway reports for the Jags. What

836
00:41:35,440 --> 00:41:39,040
Speaker 1: about Jack's camp? What about what? You know? It's so funny? Okay,

837
00:41:39,080 --> 00:41:41,759
Speaker 1: he stays out, says he's not gonna come in until

838
00:41:41,800 --> 00:41:44,400
Speaker 1: he gets paid. Then he comes in less than two

839
00:41:44,440 --> 00:41:46,800
Speaker 1: weeks after the start. If he didn't report by tomorrow,

840
00:41:47,440 --> 00:41:52,640
Speaker 1: you lose the vested veterans here and so um, it

841
00:41:52,760 --> 00:41:54,879
Speaker 1: didn't do any good. You know, what's the point other

842
00:41:54,960 --> 00:41:57,480
Speaker 1: than if he just didn't want to practice. I remember

843
00:41:57,800 --> 00:42:00,640
Speaker 1: when in the old days some veterans, if the contract

844
00:42:00,760 --> 00:42:04,240
Speaker 1: was up, they would have contract issues till they stopped

845
00:42:04,239 --> 00:42:09,120
Speaker 1: two days. Oops. Now they're going in contracts sounds so bad? Yeah, yeah,

846
00:42:09,160 --> 00:42:13,120
Speaker 1: after two days were over days. A lawyer at night,

847
00:42:13,239 --> 00:42:15,240
Speaker 1: he used to beat on his knee with a book

848
00:42:15,480 --> 00:42:18,719
Speaker 1: Bible to make it swell a little bit so he

849
00:42:18,800 --> 00:42:22,000
Speaker 1: could miss practice if it was never really bad, thought

850
00:42:22,120 --> 00:42:24,880
Speaker 1: God would protect his knee, and he did. That's the

851
00:42:26,080 --> 00:42:31,000
Speaker 1: Oh my god, Oh my god. It's gotta be a

852
00:42:31,040 --> 00:42:32,560
Speaker 1: Bible though, don't do it with the phone. Okay, we

853
00:42:32,600 --> 00:42:34,000
Speaker 1: gotta get to a break because they gotta know who

854
00:42:34,080 --> 00:42:36,400
Speaker 1: this was. Got be. I gotta find out, John, what

855
00:42:36,400 --> 00:42:38,760
Speaker 1: do you have going out of the chronicle? Aaron Wilson

856
00:42:38,840 --> 00:42:41,720
Speaker 1: and I'll have takeaways, will have stuff for Texas Sports

857
00:42:41,840 --> 00:42:44,719
Speaker 1: Nation right after practice, and I'm gonna write about just

858
00:42:44,840 --> 00:42:47,719
Speaker 1: the first day in general. He's gonna write about the

859
00:42:47,840 --> 00:42:50,640
Speaker 1: backup running backs and how they do in practice when

860
00:42:50,680 --> 00:42:55,520
Speaker 1: they're going against the Packers. Thank you very much. Now,

861
00:42:55,640 --> 00:42:58,799
Speaker 1: I want everyone to stay with their phones. I don't

862
00:42:58,840 --> 00:43:00,759
Speaker 1: care what you're doing for work today. I mean, come on,

863
00:43:00,880 --> 00:43:03,280
Speaker 1: this is much more important to be on your phones.

864
00:43:03,760 --> 00:43:07,000
Speaker 1: Check out our coverage follow the Texans as. We will

865
00:43:07,040 --> 00:43:10,000
Speaker 1: give you all the videos of the players riding the

866
00:43:10,080 --> 00:43:12,800
Speaker 1: bikes over to practice, which should take place within the

867
00:43:12,880 --> 00:43:15,440
Speaker 1: next half hour, so you're gonna want to see that.

868
00:43:15,880 --> 00:43:20,440
Speaker 1: It's a Green Bay tradition and the Texans will have

869
00:43:21,080 --> 00:43:24,600
Speaker 1: their own bikes. Now, this thing definitely took on a

870
00:43:24,640 --> 00:43:26,200
Speaker 1: life of its own at some point. I think it

871
00:43:26,320 --> 00:43:28,279
Speaker 1: used to just be sort of a throwaway thing and

872
00:43:28,560 --> 00:43:31,600
Speaker 1: people caught onto it. Now they bring in special bikes.

873
00:43:31,640 --> 00:43:34,040
Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's nuts. So you're gonna want to

874
00:43:34,040 --> 00:43:36,680
Speaker 1: follow along all the texts and social media channels and well,

875
00:43:36,840 --> 00:43:39,840
Speaker 1: we'll keep that live for you as live as we

876
00:43:39,960 --> 00:43:43,160
Speaker 1: can possibly do it. Next up, position group breakdown, Johnny,

877
00:43:43,200 --> 00:43:44,560
Speaker 1: I think we're done with everything. I think we're on

878
00:43:44,600 --> 00:43:49,040
Speaker 1: special teams now. I think we finally moved to do quarterbacks.

879
00:43:49,840 --> 00:43:52,680
Speaker 1: Oh that is that important. We should we do quarterbacks

880
00:43:52,680 --> 00:43:55,080
Speaker 1: and special teams. Next, let's do quarterbacks and we'll see

881
00:43:55,080 --> 00:43:56,680
Speaker 1: where it takes us. How about that, We're gonna do

885
00:44:05,680 --> 00:44:09,719

Speaker 1: already cried this morning Mark bart Star. And you know

895
00:44:56,440 --> 00:44:58,880
Speaker 1: when he passed and we went over all those numbers,

896
00:44:59,600 --> 00:45:02,280
Speaker 1: all the posts. What nine and one in the postseason?

897
00:45:02,400 --> 00:45:05,160
Speaker 1: Was at it? Yeah? Nine? I mean, my gosh, lost

898
00:45:05,200 --> 00:45:10,200
Speaker 1: in nineteen sixty championship game to the Eagles. Franklin Field, Yeah, Jonesy,

899
00:45:10,320 --> 00:45:14,439
Speaker 1: come on now, Franklin Field. Now they're a great old place.

900
00:45:14,520 --> 00:45:17,120
Speaker 1: We played against Pen there twice. I used to love

901
00:45:17,760 --> 00:45:20,880
Speaker 1: going there. I mean, I you know how I am

902
00:45:20,920 --> 00:45:23,200
Speaker 1: with historic place. I just loved. It's not like a

903
00:45:23,680 --> 00:45:26,920
Speaker 1: locker question, but best Ivy stadium to visit. It's got

904
00:45:27,000 --> 00:45:31,200
Speaker 1: to be Harvard, right, Yeah, But they're so pompous, no,

905
00:45:31,320 --> 00:45:35,000
Speaker 1: I know. But the tradition, the history, the locker room

906
00:45:35,800 --> 00:45:40,760
Speaker 1: was like this dungeon underneath the bleachers, like you would disappear,

907
00:45:40,880 --> 00:45:43,479
Speaker 1: like underneath the bleachers. It's like one hundred and fifty

908
00:45:43,560 --> 00:45:46,400
Speaker 1: years old. I know. But like build the locker room Harvard. Uh,

909
00:45:46,680 --> 00:45:48,600
Speaker 1: like you don't have the endowments they got. They got

910
00:45:48,680 --> 00:45:50,680
Speaker 1: some money. Come on. But I'll tell you people don't

911
00:45:50,760 --> 00:45:55,080
Speaker 1: understand that that was a powerhouse. What in the early

912
00:45:55,200 --> 00:46:01,480
Speaker 1: nineteen hundreds, Harvard Army, these teams were. They ruled the land. Right, Yeah, sorry,

913
00:46:01,560 --> 00:46:03,600
Speaker 1: I mean I'll tell you what. I don't want to

914
00:46:03,600 --> 00:46:05,160
Speaker 1: look at Johnny right now. He doesn't want to talk

915
00:46:05,200 --> 00:46:09,160
Speaker 1: about that. Yeah, he's like he hates them. I love

916
00:46:09,239 --> 00:46:11,800
Speaker 1: this all right. We're at Green Bay, Texans and Packers

917
00:46:12,080 --> 00:46:15,239
Speaker 1: about to get the practice underway. Now. The players will

918
00:46:15,239 --> 00:46:16,960
Speaker 1: be on the bikes to make their way over from

919
00:46:17,280 --> 00:46:21,200
Speaker 1: lambeau Field to the Don Hudson Center. And that's how

920
00:46:21,239 --> 00:46:23,279
Speaker 1: the tradition got started. The locker rooms are over there.

921
00:46:23,400 --> 00:46:26,040
Speaker 1: They come over here to do their training camp thing.

922
00:46:26,680 --> 00:46:28,560
Speaker 1: And what are they doing the winter, Johnny, there's got

923
00:46:28,640 --> 00:46:30,439
Speaker 1: to be a locker room here at the Don Hudson Center.

924
00:46:30,960 --> 00:46:33,279
Speaker 1: I mean, they must just be duplicating that tradition. I

925
00:46:33,320 --> 00:46:34,960
Speaker 1: got to find out the backs. I don't I think

926
00:46:35,000 --> 00:46:36,640
Speaker 1: they do that during training camp. I don't know that

927
00:46:36,680 --> 00:46:38,399
Speaker 1: they do that during the season. Okay, I think it's

928
00:46:38,400 --> 00:46:41,479
Speaker 1: a training camp thing'll get. We'll get Deep City Live

929
00:46:41,600 --> 00:46:43,480
Speaker 1: to do play by play of that in the next segment.

930
00:46:43,600 --> 00:46:47,839
Speaker 1: Right now, position group break john As, we'll talk about

931
00:46:47,840 --> 00:46:51,320
Speaker 1: the quarterbacks, and I think Austin back in the studio

932
00:46:51,320 --> 00:46:53,240
Speaker 1: because we have Jonesy here on site, we'll start running

933
00:46:53,239 --> 00:46:55,640
Speaker 1: that NFL Films music. Yeah, I hear it, I hear it,

934
00:46:55,680 --> 00:46:58,080
Speaker 1: because this is how we do this. I hear today's

935
00:46:58,160 --> 00:47:02,000
Speaker 1: position group is the quarterback. Yes, we haven't gotten a

936
00:47:02,040 --> 00:47:04,720
Speaker 1: special teams yet, and if we blow through these quarterbacks

937
00:47:04,760 --> 00:47:07,480
Speaker 1: pretty quickly, maybe we'll get to special teams. But let's

938
00:47:07,560 --> 00:47:10,800
Speaker 1: go here, and it all starts with number four. And

939
00:47:10,880 --> 00:47:12,959
Speaker 1: you can use more than two sentences because there aren't

940
00:47:12,960 --> 00:47:18,600
Speaker 1: that many of these guys. Number four de Sean Watson. Well,

941
00:47:18,680 --> 00:47:22,680
Speaker 1: I think with DeShawn look, we've we're lucky. I saw

942
00:47:22,800 --> 00:47:24,759
Speaker 1: I saw a tweet this morning from Joe Marino the

943
00:47:24,840 --> 00:47:28,560
Speaker 1: Draft Network and they redrafted twenty seventeen and he said, sorry,

944
00:47:28,640 --> 00:47:31,160
Speaker 1: Chiefston Texans fans, you do not get Mahomes and Watson

945
00:47:31,200 --> 00:47:33,839
Speaker 1: at ten and twelve. Well, you know, but we did,

946
00:47:34,480 --> 00:47:38,319
Speaker 1: so you know, bully on you. I were ever grateful, Yes,

947
00:47:38,440 --> 00:47:41,840
Speaker 1: and forever grateful. And so I think my lucky Sashi

948
00:47:41,920 --> 00:47:45,960
Speaker 1: Brown stars that it happened because without Sashi Brown, with

949
00:47:46,040 --> 00:47:49,520
Speaker 1: the browns Oswalder didn't get traded and we don't trade

950
00:47:49,640 --> 00:47:53,600
Speaker 1: up for Forshawn Watson. Well, you gotta give a Rick credit.

951
00:47:53,760 --> 00:47:56,680
Speaker 1: I mean, I'll say, ye, Smith pulling off that deal

952
00:47:56,800 --> 00:47:59,839
Speaker 1: was huge. Both of them done was huge. Ye good

953
00:48:00,520 --> 00:48:03,799
Speaker 1: was huge. So going into year three, look, we all

954
00:48:03,880 --> 00:48:06,320
Speaker 1: in Houston have hope. And you hear everybody say it,

955
00:48:06,800 --> 00:48:08,959
Speaker 1: as long as fours on the field, we have hope.

956
00:48:09,000 --> 00:48:11,000
Speaker 1: As long as fours on the field, we got a chance.

957
00:48:11,360 --> 00:48:13,520
Speaker 1: We can do anything with four on the field. And

958
00:48:13,600 --> 00:48:15,960
Speaker 1: so obviously health put that up on the shelf because

959
00:48:16,000 --> 00:48:18,160
Speaker 1: that's always going to be the most important aspect. But

960
00:48:18,239 --> 00:48:21,239
Speaker 1: I think for him on the field this year, the

961
00:48:21,320 --> 00:48:25,680
Speaker 1: biggest thing for him is how much quicker can he

962
00:48:25,880 --> 00:48:30,000
Speaker 1: make decisions? Can he make the decision almost even pre

963
00:48:30,160 --> 00:48:32,279
Speaker 1: snap that he knows what he's looking at, He knows

964
00:48:32,360 --> 00:48:34,440
Speaker 1: he sees too high, but he knows this team and

965
00:48:34,480 --> 00:48:37,239
Speaker 1: he's like, I know they're gonna transform to middle field,

966
00:48:37,280 --> 00:48:40,200
Speaker 1: close single high, I know what route I have. I

967
00:48:40,320 --> 00:48:41,759
Speaker 1: need to check us and get this out of this

968
00:48:41,800 --> 00:48:43,520
Speaker 1: because I know what they're gonna be in. I know

969
00:48:43,560 --> 00:48:45,919
Speaker 1: where I'm gonna go with the football. Bang bang bang,

970
00:48:46,080 --> 00:48:48,239
Speaker 1: throw it and let it go. And I think that's

971
00:48:49,120 --> 00:48:52,760
Speaker 1: that's gonna be the biggest key. Can he make decisions quicker?

972
00:48:52,880 --> 00:48:56,560
Speaker 1: Can the game's slowed down for him, and then when

973
00:48:56,600 --> 00:48:59,000
Speaker 1: it does slow down for him, you're gonna see this

974
00:48:59,120 --> 00:49:01,120
Speaker 1: offense go to a whole different level as long as

975
00:49:01,160 --> 00:49:04,160
Speaker 1: obviously the weapons around him are going to stay relatively healthy.

976
00:49:04,280 --> 00:49:06,560
Speaker 1: I don't know if he'll get sixteen games from everybody,

977
00:49:06,920 --> 00:49:10,160
Speaker 1: but if you've got if you've got Hopkins and Fuller

978
00:49:10,239 --> 00:49:13,120
Speaker 1: and Qt in the tight ends relatively healthy week after week.

979
00:49:13,440 --> 00:49:15,399
Speaker 1: So he doesn't go into a game against the Colts,

980
00:49:15,440 --> 00:49:17,279
Speaker 1: They've got a pretty fast defense and he's got no

981
00:49:17,360 --> 00:49:18,920
Speaker 1: twitch on the field. He's got a hop he's got

982
00:49:18,960 --> 00:49:21,480
Speaker 1: the Marys Thomas, he's got Joe Webb. He's got no twitch. Yeah,

983
00:49:21,640 --> 00:49:23,399
Speaker 1: and that wasn't gonna help him. He had to get

984
00:49:23,440 --> 00:49:26,160
Speaker 1: rid of the ball quickly and he had nobody like, yeah,

985
00:49:26,200 --> 00:49:29,440
Speaker 1: he needs so if he can make decisions quicker, and

986
00:49:29,560 --> 00:49:31,640
Speaker 1: I think he started doing that over the second half

987
00:49:31,640 --> 00:49:33,719
Speaker 1: of the year, that's what I think, you know, he

988
00:49:33,880 --> 00:49:36,280
Speaker 1: threw some interceptions early on, and he had some questionable

989
00:49:36,320 --> 00:49:38,680
Speaker 1: decisions early on. I mean the Tennessee game, people talk about,

990
00:49:38,760 --> 00:49:40,360
Speaker 1: you know, seventeen seconds left, we don't even get a

991
00:49:40,360 --> 00:49:44,000
Speaker 1: field goal, tep all that. But he he transformed himself

992
00:49:44,120 --> 00:49:47,359
Speaker 1: so quickly and then maintained that level throughout the year.

993
00:49:47,360 --> 00:49:50,080
Speaker 1: And really the only interceptions that he threw the rest

994
00:49:50,160 --> 00:49:53,160
Speaker 1: of the year were ones where he got hit or

995
00:49:53,239 --> 00:49:56,279
Speaker 1: the ball is tipped. I don't remember him throwing interceptions

996
00:49:56,360 --> 00:49:57,920
Speaker 1: other than I think the one in the playoff game

997
00:49:57,960 --> 00:50:00,239
Speaker 1: maybe to Kenny Moore, one of his fourth and you

998
00:50:00,239 --> 00:50:02,840
Speaker 1: were trying to get something and more came out. That

999
00:50:03,000 --> 00:50:05,480
Speaker 1: was about it. So from that perspective, if he can

1000
00:50:05,560 --> 00:50:09,640
Speaker 1: maintain that that decision making level, that high level decision making,

1001
00:50:10,320 --> 00:50:11,840
Speaker 1: this offense is going to be able to do what

1002
00:50:11,920 --> 00:50:15,320
Speaker 1: it was. Yeah. I think very often when there's a

1003
00:50:15,400 --> 00:50:20,120
Speaker 1: sack or things don't develop quickly, he is trying to

1004
00:50:20,200 --> 00:50:21,840
Speaker 1: hold on on the ball and make a play and

1005
00:50:22,040 --> 00:50:23,640
Speaker 1: run around and make a play. And I think the

1006
00:50:23,719 --> 00:50:27,560
Speaker 1: coaches love that, but they also want him to curtail that,

1007
00:50:27,800 --> 00:50:30,040
Speaker 1: want him to edit, want him to be very careful

1008
00:50:30,480 --> 00:50:33,799
Speaker 1: about preserving his body. And live to fight another town.

1009
00:50:34,160 --> 00:50:36,719
Speaker 1: There's nothing wrong with punting. I mean, not late in

1010
00:50:36,800 --> 00:50:38,920
Speaker 1: the game, but every once in a while, Hey, just

1011
00:50:39,239 --> 00:50:43,040
Speaker 1: just take him medicine. Just just throw it away and

1012
00:50:43,280 --> 00:50:45,680
Speaker 1: move on to the next play, whatever that play might be,

1013
00:50:45,920 --> 00:50:48,640
Speaker 1: as opposed to take it a sack, getting hurt, throwing

1014
00:50:48,640 --> 00:50:52,960
Speaker 1: a pick, whatever. And he I just love his ability

1015
00:50:53,000 --> 00:50:55,120
Speaker 1: to scramble and make plays, you know, and so you

1016
00:50:55,200 --> 00:50:58,560
Speaker 1: get addicted to that sometimes as a viewer. And maybe

1017
00:50:58,920 --> 00:51:00,800
Speaker 1: I don't think the coaches do. The coaches know what

1018
00:51:00,960 --> 00:51:03,359
Speaker 1: needs to be called, but his ability if the if

1019
00:51:03,400 --> 00:51:05,319
Speaker 1: the call is not going to work to make something

1020
00:51:05,400 --> 00:51:11,719
Speaker 1: positive happen is unquestionably supreme. His late game gotta have it,

1021
00:51:11,880 --> 00:51:15,200
Speaker 1: gotta win the game drive. When you look at the

1022
00:51:15,239 --> 00:51:18,040
Speaker 1: amount of game winning drives, game tying drives that he has,

1023
00:51:18,480 --> 00:51:22,279
Speaker 1: very impressive for a young quarterback. Everyone gets so intoxicated

1024
00:51:22,360 --> 00:51:25,000
Speaker 1: with Mahomes and I get it, My gosh, it's ridiculous

1025
00:51:25,080 --> 00:51:27,160
Speaker 1: what Mahomes has been able to do in one year

1026
00:51:27,160 --> 00:51:29,759
Speaker 1: as a starter. That should not take anything away from

1027
00:51:29,800 --> 00:51:31,960
Speaker 1: what Watson's been able to do. And let's let this

1028
00:51:32,080 --> 00:51:33,680
Speaker 1: play out. These guys are gonna be going for a

1029
00:51:33,760 --> 00:51:35,880
Speaker 1: long time. It's gonna be fun to watch. Well. The

1030
00:51:35,920 --> 00:51:37,640
Speaker 1: plays that he's been able to make thus far in

1031
00:51:37,760 --> 00:51:41,439
Speaker 1: his career in the late third quarter or fourth quarter

1032
00:51:41,560 --> 00:51:49,279
Speaker 1: of games. I mean, the opportunity for Watson to make

1033
00:51:49,360 --> 00:51:51,840
Speaker 1: plays in the fourth quarter has been just incredible. So

1034
00:51:52,360 --> 00:51:55,239
Speaker 1: he's been as good as you could possibly ask for.

1035
00:51:55,360 --> 00:51:58,359
Speaker 1: Like Mahomes, has not had a situation where he's had

1036
00:51:58,360 --> 00:52:02,120
Speaker 1: to bring his team from behind. So from that perspective,

1037
00:52:02,280 --> 00:52:05,640
Speaker 1: he's He's a guy that I think Watson has proven

1038
00:52:05,760 --> 00:52:08,200
Speaker 1: himself in the in the fourth quarter, So he's a

1039
00:52:08,239 --> 00:52:10,120
Speaker 1: guy that I want to continue to see do things

1040
00:52:10,480 --> 00:52:12,640
Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter. Mahomes hasn't done that in the

1041
00:52:12,680 --> 00:52:14,759
Speaker 1: fourth quarters. Mahomes brought the Chiefs back in any game

1042
00:52:14,760 --> 00:52:17,480
Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter. The Ravens game is the only

1043
00:52:17,560 --> 00:52:20,480
Speaker 1: one I could think about, but didn't he gets the Patriots,

1044
00:52:20,560 --> 00:52:22,520
Speaker 1: they score, they lose it overtime. What about the one

1045
00:52:22,560 --> 00:52:24,320
Speaker 1: at the Patriots that was forty three to forty I

1046
00:52:24,360 --> 00:52:27,520
Speaker 1: can't remember all the details. Look, I think Mahomes it'll

1047
00:52:27,560 --> 00:52:30,960
Speaker 1: be fine, but but let's just see, let's see how

1048
00:52:31,000 --> 00:52:32,759
Speaker 1: this thing plays out. He can't wait for what is

1049
00:52:32,760 --> 00:52:37,759
Speaker 1: it October fifteenth, at three October Arrowhead Stadium. It's gonna

1050
00:52:37,760 --> 00:52:39,960
Speaker 1: be awesome. Next quarterback up. As we're doing the position

1051
00:52:40,040 --> 00:52:43,880
Speaker 1: group breakdown, AJ McCarron team signs him in the offseason.

1052
00:52:44,239 --> 00:52:46,680
Speaker 1: No Brandon Wheaton as a backup this year. I've said

1053
00:52:46,719 --> 00:52:49,680
Speaker 1: this before before he gets all the technical stuff. I

1054
00:52:49,800 --> 00:52:53,520
Speaker 1: love the hunger he wants to play, he wants to have. Look,

1055
00:52:53,640 --> 00:52:55,680
Speaker 1: it's not like Brandon Wheedon didn't want to have a career.

1056
00:52:56,160 --> 00:52:59,600
Speaker 1: But AJ McCarron still probably has it in his mind

1057
00:52:59,640 --> 00:53:01,520
Speaker 1: that he can be a starter somewhere and I like that.

1058
00:53:01,960 --> 00:53:04,160
Speaker 1: You know, he's not rooting for any opportunity here in

1059
00:53:04,200 --> 00:53:07,120
Speaker 1: the regular season. Anything bad to happen to Watson. But

1060
00:53:07,520 --> 00:53:11,799
Speaker 1: for AJ McCarron, these next couple of games are these

1061
00:53:11,880 --> 00:53:14,960
Speaker 1: next four games are huge. He wants to make a

1062
00:53:15,080 --> 00:53:18,440
Speaker 1: great impression so that if the opportunity arises, he can

1063
00:53:18,600 --> 00:53:21,560
Speaker 1: potentially be a starter somewhere else. And I love that,

1064
00:53:21,960 --> 00:53:23,879
Speaker 1: and I like what he's done so far in his career.

1065
00:53:24,040 --> 00:53:25,600
Speaker 1: He just hasn't been able to stay on the field.

1066
00:53:26,560 --> 00:53:29,120
Speaker 1: And that's the thing. Look, all three of these quarterbacks

1067
00:53:29,600 --> 00:53:32,719
Speaker 1: have started a playoff game. Think about that. At three

1068
00:53:33,040 --> 00:53:36,200
Speaker 1: three WEB included Joe Webb, started actually right over there,

1069
00:53:36,400 --> 00:53:38,200
Speaker 1: right on the other side of this stream. My god,

1070
00:53:38,280 --> 00:53:40,799
Speaker 1: yeah against the package he played started a playoff. That's

1071
00:53:40,840 --> 00:53:44,440
Speaker 1: making the broadcast. Yeah, so Joe Webb and AJ McCarron

1072
00:53:44,719 --> 00:53:46,719
Speaker 1: and Sean Watson all started a playoff. I think the

1073
00:53:46,760 --> 00:53:50,120
Speaker 1: weather is slightly better here. Oh wait, were they They

1074
00:53:50,160 --> 00:53:53,120
Speaker 1: weren't at home and outdoor? That was here? That was

1075
00:53:53,200 --> 00:53:55,279
Speaker 1: here if I remember correctly, or were they in that

1076
00:53:55,480 --> 00:53:59,160
Speaker 1: frozen tundra of Minneapolis for the University of Minnesota State UM?

1077
00:53:59,680 --> 00:54:03,920
Speaker 1: That was That was far last couple of years. Now,

1078
00:54:04,000 --> 00:54:07,000
Speaker 1: that one that one game, Fridge Fridgie game was Teddy Bridgewater.

1079
00:54:07,520 --> 00:54:10,520
Speaker 1: You a Bridgewater ended up getting hurt alright, Uh if

1080
00:54:10,560 --> 00:54:13,800
Speaker 1: I remember that was twenty fifteen. Oh gosh, that was brutal. Anyways,

1081
00:54:14,160 --> 00:54:17,560
Speaker 1: with McCarron, heat to me, and look, I watched him

1082
00:54:17,560 --> 00:54:19,840
Speaker 1: coming out of Alabama. I saw him live at Alabama,

1083
00:54:20,360 --> 00:54:22,480
Speaker 1: and I thought he's a really good college quarterback. I

1084
00:54:22,560 --> 00:54:26,080
Speaker 1: was like, but he just you know, assets, traits, those

1085
00:54:26,120 --> 00:54:29,279
Speaker 1: are things that he doesn't didn't really have. But his

1086
00:54:29,480 --> 00:54:33,160
Speaker 1: arm strength I think is really improved. Like I see

1087
00:54:33,239 --> 00:54:35,160
Speaker 1: him make throws out on the field and look, it's

1088
00:54:35,200 --> 00:54:38,200
Speaker 1: not it's not Deshawn's arm strength, but it's pretty darn good.

1089
00:54:38,360 --> 00:54:41,480
Speaker 1: Like you don't see a huge drop off. So if

1090
00:54:41,520 --> 00:54:44,120
Speaker 1: you had, if you unfortunately had to go into a

1091
00:54:44,200 --> 00:54:46,680
Speaker 1: game with AJ, or something happened for a drive that

1092
00:54:46,760 --> 00:54:49,040
Speaker 1: DeShawn had to get checked out, you could put AJ

1093
00:54:49,160 --> 00:54:50,640
Speaker 1: in the game, and I think you would feel pretty

1094
00:54:50,680 --> 00:54:53,480
Speaker 1: good about him getting rid of the football, getting the off,

1095
00:54:53,920 --> 00:54:55,920
Speaker 1: getting off, it's in the right play, get everybody lined up,

1096
00:54:56,040 --> 00:54:58,440
Speaker 1: getting ready to go, delivering the football on time. You

1097
00:54:58,480 --> 00:55:00,879
Speaker 1: can always rely on number ten. It with quarterback is done.

1098
00:55:01,160 --> 00:55:03,400
Speaker 1: When they've stepped in for the Texans. Hey new quarterback,

1099
00:55:03,440 --> 00:55:05,479
Speaker 1: what are you gonna do? Throw it to Hopkins? Okay,

1100
00:55:05,520 --> 00:55:07,040
Speaker 1: well you still got Fuller and you got QT so

1101
00:55:07,160 --> 00:55:10,160
Speaker 1: he's got he's got options, which is kind of nice.

1102
00:55:10,200 --> 00:55:13,359
Speaker 1: So I think if he had to step in, I'm

1103
00:55:13,400 --> 00:55:16,319
Speaker 1: not gonna lose too much sleep. Obviously you don't lose

1104
00:55:16,440 --> 00:55:17,680
Speaker 1: de Seawan for a long amount of time, and I

1105
00:55:17,719 --> 00:55:19,320
Speaker 1: don't want to see McCarron all in the game, But

1106
00:55:19,520 --> 00:55:23,919
Speaker 1: if it happened, I think we'd be much better set

1107
00:55:24,000 --> 00:55:26,080
Speaker 1: up than maybe any other time that I can remember

1108
00:55:26,120 --> 00:55:29,400
Speaker 1: her having a backup quarterback, maybe dating back to Sage Rosenfels.

1109
00:55:29,600 --> 00:55:33,759
Speaker 1: Rosenfels and the word get out over the weekend. Where

1110
00:55:34,080 --> 00:55:36,640
Speaker 1: where did this develop that he's the greatest preseason quarterback

1111
00:55:36,680 --> 00:55:40,239
Speaker 1: in NFL history or something like that. Who says yes,

1112
00:55:41,800 --> 00:55:45,279
Speaker 1: I mean, mister August look I like sage. You know

1113
00:55:45,440 --> 00:55:50,800
Speaker 1: this and that might be true. I mean he's mist

1114
00:55:50,880 --> 00:55:53,000
Speaker 1: They didn't call him that I am. But you know,

1115
00:55:53,040 --> 00:55:55,200
Speaker 1: when you're a backup quarterback, that's what you got, you know,

1116
00:55:55,400 --> 00:55:57,920
Speaker 1: you want to play a long time. Yeah, let's talk

1117
00:55:57,960 --> 00:56:01,000
Speaker 1: to Texans ambassador Mike Quinn, who had a long career

1118
00:56:01,120 --> 00:56:03,520
Speaker 1: throwing three passes in a regular season. I mean, look,

1119
00:56:03,600 --> 00:56:05,719
Speaker 1: shops stuck around the league. What we said the other day,

1120
00:56:05,760 --> 00:56:08,480
Speaker 1: sixteen years is his sixteenth year. He's had six. He

1121
00:56:08,560 --> 00:56:13,279
Speaker 1: had basically six full years of play. He had six

1122
00:56:13,680 --> 00:56:16,239
Speaker 1: full years of starting. He had ninety seven as a

1123
00:56:16,320 --> 00:56:18,520
Speaker 1: would be starter. But the first part of his career

1124
00:56:19,840 --> 00:56:22,840
Speaker 1: now in Atlanta, was with the Raiders, but now in Atlanta,

1125
00:56:23,200 --> 00:56:25,880
Speaker 1: and he you know, that's it that it's kind of

1126
00:56:26,160 --> 00:56:28,640
Speaker 1: a sandwich. And in the middle you got the starting career,

1127
00:56:28,719 --> 00:56:31,120
Speaker 1: which was dotted with some injuries and obviously at the

1128
00:56:31,200 --> 00:56:32,799
Speaker 1: very end of that some other issues that we will

1129
00:56:32,840 --> 00:56:34,759
Speaker 1: not get into. Right now. That happened between the lines.

1130
00:56:35,040 --> 00:56:37,080
Speaker 1: Let's get it too, Joe Webb, just for a moment here,

1131
00:56:37,560 --> 00:56:40,880
Speaker 1: because I said it earlier. You know, if if special

1132
00:56:40,960 --> 00:56:44,120
Speaker 1: teams is in stellar, then Bill O'Brien and his staff

1133
00:56:44,120 --> 00:56:46,200
Speaker 1: are starting to think about could we be better at

1134
00:56:46,239 --> 00:56:49,080
Speaker 1: third string quarterback? Right He's got to play both well

1135
00:56:49,160 --> 00:56:51,160
Speaker 1: in order to maintain employment in this league. He's going

1136
00:56:51,239 --> 00:56:53,839
Speaker 1: into his tenth year. Well, I think Joe knows that's

1137
00:56:53,880 --> 00:56:57,960
Speaker 1: absolutely key. That special teams is his that's his ticket,

1138
00:56:58,000 --> 00:57:00,239
Speaker 1: and it was last year. He knew it. And what

1139
00:57:00,480 --> 00:57:04,120
Speaker 1: Joe had last year was a tremendous relationship with a j. Moore,

1140
00:57:04,320 --> 00:57:07,440
Speaker 1: with Buddy Howe, with Peter Kalambay, with Brendan Scarlett, with

1141
00:57:08,280 --> 00:57:11,239
Speaker 1: the guys that ran down on special teams. I mean,

1142
00:57:11,360 --> 00:57:13,839
Speaker 1: he had such a bond with them and they all

1143
00:57:13,960 --> 00:57:17,320
Speaker 1: worked very, very well together. And so look, Joe did

1144
00:57:17,440 --> 00:57:19,040
Speaker 1: have to go into the Colts game at wide receiver.

1145
00:57:19,120 --> 00:57:20,800
Speaker 1: You hope you don't get in that situation, but look

1146
00:57:21,000 --> 00:57:22,919
Speaker 1: how many wide receivers you're gonna carry in the forty

1147
00:57:22,920 --> 00:57:24,880
Speaker 1: six on game day? If you have to go to

1148
00:57:25,000 --> 00:57:26,840
Speaker 1: Joe Webb, he could at least line up in the

1149
00:57:26,920 --> 00:57:29,320
Speaker 1: proper spot and get you know, run a route and

1150
00:57:29,480 --> 00:57:32,000
Speaker 1: force somebody to cover him. So you at least have

1151
00:57:32,240 --> 00:57:34,720
Speaker 1: that from Joe Webb. But you know, quarterback wise, I

1152
00:57:34,800 --> 00:57:37,480
Speaker 1: gotta watch him throw the football like, yeah, okay, look,

1153
00:57:37,520 --> 00:57:39,520
Speaker 1: he's not going to overtake a j mccaren and obviously

1154
00:57:39,600 --> 00:57:42,760
Speaker 1: not Sean Watson, but he's an invaluable piece as that

1155
00:57:42,840 --> 00:57:45,400
Speaker 1: Swiss army knife right for this particular rock. I mean,

1156
00:57:45,440 --> 00:57:47,840
Speaker 1: I think what would happen, God forbid if something happened

1157
00:57:47,880 --> 00:57:50,320
Speaker 1: to your starter, would be mccaren's gonna take over. And

1158
00:57:50,400 --> 00:57:54,200
Speaker 1: then you'd go back to the whatever list you have

1159
00:57:54,760 --> 00:57:57,520
Speaker 1: and say, who's our backup, you know, and who can

1160
00:57:57,680 --> 00:58:00,080
Speaker 1: who can be that with Joe Webb? Right? Maybe? Or

1161
00:58:00,120 --> 00:58:04,240
Speaker 1: take Joe, but Joe's so handy, so valuable for this franchise.

1162
00:58:04,280 --> 00:58:06,920
Speaker 1: All right, that's your quarterback position group breakdown. So tomorrow

1163
00:58:06,960 --> 00:58:09,040
Speaker 1: we'll do special teams, how about yea? And then on

1164
00:58:09,120 --> 00:58:12,080
Speaker 1: Wednesday we'll recap the whole roster. We'll do it all

1165
00:58:12,200 --> 00:58:14,800
Speaker 1: before the preseason opener on Thursday. Can we just we

1166
00:58:14,840 --> 00:58:16,680
Speaker 1: should have like the long segment and see if I

1167
00:58:16,760 --> 00:58:19,680
Speaker 1: can do all ninety guys in a segment. We'll do it.

1168
00:58:21,880 --> 00:58:25,960
Speaker 1: That is gonna be one sentence. That's one sentence. That's

1169
00:58:26,000 --> 00:58:31,560
Speaker 1: one could actually the roster every guy in the roster

1170
00:58:31,800 --> 00:58:34,240
Speaker 1: at least one. All right, that's good, all right. Next up,

1171
00:58:34,560 --> 00:58:38,000
Speaker 1: So we're here at the practice field in the shadow

1172
00:58:38,040 --> 00:58:41,280
Speaker 1: of lambou Field at Green Bay. Now what's gonna happen

1173
00:58:41,400 --> 00:58:43,600
Speaker 1: is the players are taking the bikes over here in

1174
00:58:43,840 --> 00:58:47,400
Speaker 1: the long time Packer tradition and dpcit is gonna give

1175
00:58:47,440 --> 00:58:49,280
Speaker 1: us some play by play of that. Let's get to

1176
00:58:49,360 --> 00:58:52,200
Speaker 1: that next, and then we'll get to Landry's questions of

1177
00:58:52,320 --> 00:58:54,600
Speaker 1: the day. I think some historical stuff will come up.

1178
00:58:54,840 --> 00:59:00,920
Speaker 1: It's Texans Training Camp live touchdown Texas Radio continues in

1179
00:59:01,000 --> 00:59:07,000
Speaker 1: a moment, the Texans are back in extra and you

1180
00:59:07,240 --> 00:59:11,000
Speaker 1: have a front row seat. It's Texans training camped line

1181
00:59:11,360 --> 00:59:15,360
Speaker 1: on Texans Radio. Yeah, you have a front row seat.

1182
00:59:15,440 --> 00:59:19,000
Speaker 1: Don Hudson Center practice facility for the Packers right near

1183
00:59:19,120 --> 00:59:22,680
Speaker 1: Lambeau Field, right basically across the street from it. And

1184
00:59:22,960 --> 00:59:25,480
Speaker 1: we have two seventy yard fields end to end in

1185
00:59:25,600 --> 00:59:27,400
Speaker 1: front of us. I think you're seventy one too. We're

1186
00:59:27,440 --> 00:59:31,720
Speaker 1: closing up anyway, Fans jamming the stands as we look

1187
00:59:31,760 --> 00:59:35,360
Speaker 1: at these fields players not on the field yet. Obviously

1188
00:59:35,520 --> 00:59:37,800
Speaker 1: a lot of green and gold here. I've seen some

1189
00:59:38,040 --> 00:59:40,640
Speaker 1: Texans fans for sure. In fact, a couple of kids

1190
00:59:40,680 --> 00:59:43,320
Speaker 1: wearing what jerseys with a dad who's wearing a Packer jersey.

1191
00:59:43,680 --> 00:59:45,680
Speaker 1: And I asked, I said, you guys from Houston. He

1192
00:59:45,760 --> 00:59:48,280
Speaker 1: said no, we're Wisconsin. I said, oh, the Texans fans.

1193
00:59:48,520 --> 00:59:50,600
Speaker 1: He said, no, they're JJ WAT fans. But they're wearing

1194
00:59:50,640 --> 00:59:53,520
Speaker 1: a Watt Texans jersey. Threw Doherty tweeted out a guy

1195
00:59:53,960 --> 00:59:57,160
Speaker 1: with a Wat Green Bay jersey, which is bizarre, Like,

1196
00:59:57,240 --> 01:00:01,160
Speaker 1: what is that? That's tampering. Yeah, and it's just one

1197
01:00:01,160 --> 01:00:03,120
Speaker 1: of those things that you're gonna see here because Watt

1198
01:00:03,240 --> 01:00:06,840
Speaker 1: is such a hero in the state of Wisconsin. Well,

1199
01:00:06,920 --> 01:00:09,400
Speaker 1: last night in the news I saw Pat tweeted this

1200
01:00:09,440 --> 01:00:11,160
Speaker 1: a little bit last night in the news. They did,

1201
01:00:11,280 --> 01:00:13,240
Speaker 1: you know, hey, the Texans are here, but guess who

1202
01:00:13,320 --> 01:00:17,320
Speaker 1: got top billing. Of course not JJ. Oh no, Watson

1203
01:00:17,480 --> 01:00:22,680
Speaker 1: think very good, really very good. They's from here. Oh

1204
01:00:23,040 --> 01:00:25,680
Speaker 1: he's from here. Yeah, that's big, that's big. That's a

1205
01:00:25,720 --> 01:00:28,040
Speaker 1: local lay here a few years ago. All right, let's

1206
01:00:28,080 --> 01:00:29,800
Speaker 1: go to deep cities joining us out on the line

1207
01:00:29,880 --> 01:00:31,920
Speaker 1: right now and she's watching the players on the bikes.

1208
01:00:32,000 --> 01:00:35,080
Speaker 1: I think, deepie, what's going on? Hey, guys, I'm right

1209
01:00:35,120 --> 01:00:37,880
Speaker 1: across the street from you all right here at lambeau Field.

1210
01:00:37,920 --> 01:00:39,880
Speaker 1: We're in Lot one at the south Gate. We're just

1211
01:00:39,920 --> 01:00:41,920
Speaker 1: waiting for the players to make their way with the

1212
01:00:42,000 --> 01:00:43,760
Speaker 1: kids on their bikes. They've got all these fans who

1213
01:00:43,800 --> 01:00:46,240
Speaker 1: lined up. I just tweeted a picture of the path

1214
01:00:46,560 --> 01:00:48,280
Speaker 1: that the players are going to ride through, and we

1215
01:00:48,320 --> 01:00:51,160
Speaker 1: saw some coaches come out, We saw Andre Johnson come out.

1216
01:00:51,240 --> 01:00:53,800
Speaker 1: Nobody on a bike just yet, but I do see

1217
01:00:53,800 --> 01:00:56,439
Speaker 1: a lot of Texans fans here. And I even saw

1218
01:00:56,960 --> 01:01:00,080
Speaker 1: an employee from our office and Tina from accounting, he

1219
01:01:00,240 --> 01:01:02,480
Speaker 1: was here and she said that she had family in

1220
01:01:02,640 --> 01:01:04,520
Speaker 1: Green Bay, and so she thought, well, I'll bring my

1221
01:01:04,600 --> 01:01:06,840
Speaker 1: kids up here and we'll just put out a text

1222
01:01:06,960 --> 01:01:08,880
Speaker 1: message and say, hey, we're going up to Green Bay.

1223
01:01:08,880 --> 01:01:11,960
Speaker 1: We're staying with relatives and if anybody's got bikes in

1224
01:01:12,000 --> 01:01:14,200
Speaker 1: the area, could you drop them off. And the relatives

1225
01:01:14,280 --> 01:01:16,560
Speaker 1: got all these bikes delivered to the house for the kids.

1226
01:01:16,600 --> 01:01:18,880
Speaker 1: So she said, everyone here has just been so friendly

1227
01:01:18,960 --> 01:01:20,720
Speaker 1: and so nice, and it's just such a fun tradition

1228
01:01:20,760 --> 01:01:24,000
Speaker 1: that everyone wants to partaken, but on our side of

1229
01:01:24,160 --> 01:01:26,680
Speaker 1: the of the entrance, because you see, the Texans players

1230
01:01:26,680 --> 01:01:28,160
Speaker 1: are going to come out on the south gate along

1231
01:01:28,200 --> 01:01:30,560
Speaker 1: the south gates, and the Packers players will come out

1232
01:01:30,600 --> 01:01:32,400
Speaker 1: along the north gate. We set a lot of Packers

1233
01:01:32,440 --> 01:01:34,320
Speaker 1: fans here and a lot of wat Jersey sprinkled in

1234
01:01:34,760 --> 01:01:36,720
Speaker 1: as well, so we're just patiently waiting. I think the

1235
01:01:36,760 --> 01:01:40,240
Speaker 1: players are very close to making way through here. I mean,

1236
01:01:40,280 --> 01:01:42,480
Speaker 1: that's pretty cool the fact that you know, you put

1237
01:01:42,520 --> 01:01:46,200
Speaker 1: out an APB basically for bikes and then everybody's like, yeah, here,

1238
01:01:46,280 --> 01:01:48,760
Speaker 1: take mine, go DP. Are you gonna get on a

1239
01:01:48,760 --> 01:01:51,560
Speaker 1: bike and ride over. It's been a while since I

1240
01:01:51,680 --> 01:01:53,400
Speaker 1: rode a bike, but like they say, it should just

1241
01:01:53,440 --> 01:01:58,280
Speaker 1: be like riding a bike. Right now, we can't find

1242
01:01:58,680 --> 01:02:03,800
Speaker 1: we can't find get a practice is It's like, So

1243
01:02:04,000 --> 01:02:08,520
Speaker 1: we're gonna go live on Facebook about nine thirty Cooler Talk,

1244
01:02:08,600 --> 01:02:10,160
Speaker 1: So I'll probably be doing that and we'll have the

1245
01:02:10,200 --> 01:02:12,320
Speaker 1: bikes in the background. So if you're on a phone,

1246
01:02:12,320 --> 01:02:14,720
Speaker 1: if you can get on social media, Drew Dorty and

1247
01:02:14,760 --> 01:02:17,800
Speaker 1: I will be hosting Cooler Talk with the kids on

1248
01:02:17,840 --> 01:02:20,000
Speaker 1: the bikes. And right now, as I'm talking to Bill

1249
01:02:20,040 --> 01:02:22,400
Speaker 1: O'Brien's making his way over. I'm very disappointed he's not

1250
01:02:22,480 --> 01:02:25,960
Speaker 1: on a bike. He's along with John Perry, wide receivers coach,

1251
01:02:26,000 --> 01:02:28,240
Speaker 1: and some of the other coaches. All right, dB, give

1252
01:02:28,280 --> 01:02:30,920
Speaker 1: me some play by play of O'Brien's expression, because I'm

1253
01:02:31,000 --> 01:02:33,680
Speaker 1: kind of torn about what I predicted what might be.

1254
01:02:34,360 --> 01:02:36,800
Speaker 1: On the one hand, he's a he's really into tradition

1255
01:02:36,840 --> 01:02:38,960
Speaker 1: in this league, and he knows about this tradition for sure.

1256
01:02:39,280 --> 01:02:41,960
Speaker 1: But it is game week, it's game faith, Bill, it's

1257
01:02:42,000 --> 01:02:44,560
Speaker 1: in season, Bill, So I mean, are the bike's a

1258
01:02:44,640 --> 01:02:47,560
Speaker 1: big distraction to him? What is your read on Bill

1259
01:02:47,600 --> 01:02:51,560
Speaker 1: O'Brien's facial expressions right now? Well, this is awkward because

1260
01:02:51,600 --> 01:02:53,440
Speaker 1: he's walking right by me as I'm talking about him.

1261
01:02:53,440 --> 01:02:58,000
Speaker 1: But he's smiling, he's talking Because I think, personally, and

1262
01:02:58,080 --> 01:03:00,320
Speaker 1: this is just my own gut instinct, I think he

1263
01:03:00,520 --> 01:03:03,120
Speaker 1: loves tradition and this is you know, he just loves

1264
01:03:03,160 --> 01:03:04,720
Speaker 1: when the kids and the fans are involved in it.

1265
01:03:04,840 --> 01:03:07,480
Speaker 1: So yeah, you know, it's joint practices. It's not it's

1266
01:03:07,520 --> 01:03:10,400
Speaker 1: not like a regular season game, and this is distracting

1267
01:03:10,440 --> 01:03:12,960
Speaker 1: in any way. I think he likes whatever keeps camp

1268
01:03:13,080 --> 01:03:15,320
Speaker 1: fun and interesting. For the players and just breaks up

1269
01:03:15,360 --> 01:03:17,720
Speaker 1: the monotony. That's a big reason why we're in Green

1270
01:03:17,800 --> 01:03:20,120
Speaker 1: Bay in the first place, because these joint practices do

1271
01:03:20,280 --> 01:03:21,960
Speaker 1: make things a little bit more interesting for the players

1272
01:03:22,000 --> 01:03:24,680
Speaker 1: that are tired of facing each other for eight street practices.

1273
01:03:24,720 --> 01:03:27,680
Speaker 1: Now they get to face some some new players. Yeah,

1274
01:03:27,800 --> 01:03:30,320
Speaker 1: this is the trip that I want. I don't want

1275
01:03:30,320 --> 01:03:33,560
Speaker 1: to say replaces the Greenbriar. You've replaced the Greenbrier with

1276
01:03:33,680 --> 01:03:36,240
Speaker 1: Houston and with the way you're keeping the players cool

1277
01:03:36,360 --> 01:03:39,440
Speaker 1: with the CRZ and the bubble practices and everything and this,

1278
01:03:39,720 --> 01:03:41,960
Speaker 1: So it's a combination of things that have sort of

1279
01:03:42,120 --> 01:03:45,400
Speaker 1: quote replaced the Greenbrier. But you're right, it does break

1280
01:03:45,440 --> 01:03:48,040
Speaker 1: up the monotony. The weather here now, fans here, we

1281
01:03:48,360 --> 01:03:51,600
Speaker 1: mentioned it, they've been fanning themselves. But to the players,

1282
01:03:51,640 --> 01:03:53,640
Speaker 1: to the Texans players, this is gonna be awesome. They're

1283
01:03:53,640 --> 01:03:57,200
Speaker 1: gonna absolutely love. I've heard that it's it's a heat

1284
01:03:57,240 --> 01:03:59,840
Speaker 1: wave they call it here, and we're thinking this, this

1285
01:04:00,160 --> 01:04:01,640
Speaker 1: is your heat wave. It is going to get up

1286
01:04:01,640 --> 01:04:03,600
Speaker 1: to eighty six today, so it's a little bit warm,

1287
01:04:03,680 --> 01:04:06,960
Speaker 1: there's no cloud cover. But for us, this is such

1288
01:04:06,960 --> 01:04:10,120
Speaker 1: a welcome break from especially Saturday's practice, which seemed like

1289
01:04:10,160 --> 01:04:12,400
Speaker 1: every practice it's been getting hotter and more human in Houston.

1290
01:04:12,440 --> 01:04:14,480
Speaker 1: The first few weren't so bad. I think our players

1291
01:04:14,520 --> 01:04:16,320
Speaker 1: are really going to enjoy this being out here today.

1292
01:04:17,080 --> 01:04:18,919
Speaker 1: I just though we were sitting at we were sitting

1293
01:04:18,960 --> 01:04:21,840
Speaker 1: at dinner last night and I turned to Drew at

1294
01:04:21,880 --> 01:04:23,920
Speaker 1: some point I was like, Hey, Drew, this will be

1295
01:04:24,040 --> 01:04:26,680
Speaker 1: like the second quarter of the game, and it was

1296
01:04:26,800 --> 01:04:29,880
Speaker 1: just gorgeous. Yeah. And I mean I've said it before

1297
01:04:30,640 --> 01:04:33,800
Speaker 1: you play, you play Thursday night here, then the only

1298
01:04:33,880 --> 01:04:37,400
Speaker 1: time you go outside until October thirteenth to play a

1299
01:04:37,480 --> 01:04:41,960
Speaker 1: game is LA, where it's gonna be like this, or

1300
01:04:42,000 --> 01:04:43,959
Speaker 1: it should be. I don't imagine La. We're not gonna

1301
01:04:44,000 --> 01:04:46,240
Speaker 1: get rain. You're gonna get a day like this in La.

1302
01:04:46,440 --> 01:04:48,560
Speaker 1: So it's not as if we've got to play outside

1303
01:04:48,680 --> 01:04:51,080
Speaker 1: in that heat that we've been accustomed to. It's gonna

1304
01:04:51,080 --> 01:04:53,720
Speaker 1: be kind of nice that the other night, Deep you

1305
01:04:53,840 --> 01:04:56,560
Speaker 1: talked about, Oh you guys, players are I don't mean

1306
01:04:56,600 --> 01:04:58,040
Speaker 1: to put you up, but players are starting to make

1307
01:04:58,080 --> 01:05:02,040
Speaker 1: their way over with the kids on the bike, AJ

1308
01:05:02,280 --> 01:05:05,120
Speaker 1: mccaren coming over. We got Darren Fell's John Weeks. It

1309
01:05:05,240 --> 01:05:07,000
Speaker 1: is so cute. They're just talking to the kids. Well,

1310
01:05:07,000 --> 01:05:08,840
Speaker 1: they're making their way over on bikes. It's a very

1311
01:05:08,960 --> 01:05:11,080
Speaker 1: leisurely stroll. It's not a competitive bike, right, guys. I

1312
01:05:11,120 --> 01:05:14,400
Speaker 1: totally think I could do this, but feet on the ground,

1313
01:05:14,440 --> 01:05:18,200
Speaker 1: I totally could do this. Yeah, riding a bike. The

1314
01:05:18,320 --> 01:05:21,480
Speaker 1: kids are the kids are on the bikes and they're

1315
01:05:21,520 --> 01:05:23,880
Speaker 1: talking to our players who are in full pads. And

1316
01:05:24,000 --> 01:05:25,640
Speaker 1: then at the end of the bike ride, you know,

1317
01:05:25,680 --> 01:05:27,760
Speaker 1: they autograph a few things for the players, looks like

1318
01:05:27,960 --> 01:05:29,640
Speaker 1: and then and then cross the street over to the

1319
01:05:29,720 --> 01:05:34,840
Speaker 1: down Head Center. Oh, lastly, Max Sharping is on a

1320
01:05:34,920 --> 01:05:37,280
Speaker 1: tricycle right now. I was just about to say I

1321
01:05:37,320 --> 01:05:39,400
Speaker 1: don't see players on the bike, but he's getting some

1322
01:05:39,520 --> 01:05:43,640
Speaker 1: cheers from from his hometown fans right here. Max Sharping

1323
01:05:43,680 --> 01:05:46,200
Speaker 1: on a tricycle and this norrible little girls carrying his

1324
01:05:46,280 --> 01:05:49,360
Speaker 1: helmet and all right, well, we'll let you go live

1325
01:05:49,440 --> 01:05:52,440
Speaker 1: on Facebook and cover all that. It's a great tradition.

1326
01:05:52,520 --> 01:05:54,680
Speaker 1: It's a fun thing to watch during training camp. Thanks

1327
01:05:54,720 --> 01:05:57,840
Speaker 1: a lot, TP, Thanks guys. All right, joining us from

1328
01:05:57,960 --> 01:05:59,920
Speaker 1: right across the street at lambeau Field. We're here at

1329
01:05:59,920 --> 01:06:03,000
Speaker 1: the Don Hudson Center practice facility, and there's a giant

1330
01:06:03,080 --> 01:06:06,120
Speaker 1: indoor building between us and the view of what's going

1331
01:06:06,200 --> 01:06:08,800
Speaker 1: on there. It's not that far away. It's probably three

1332
01:06:08,920 --> 01:06:11,880
Speaker 1: four hundred yards really, but it's one of those things

1333
01:06:11,960 --> 01:06:14,760
Speaker 1: we wanted to get on the spot coverage. It's like

1334
01:06:14,880 --> 01:06:18,600
Speaker 1: election night, let's go, let's go to Precinct four. I

1335
01:06:18,720 --> 01:06:20,680
Speaker 1: think it's pretty cool when you can go to a

1336
01:06:20,720 --> 01:06:24,400
Speaker 1: place and then engage in their tradition and they and

1337
01:06:24,520 --> 01:06:27,040
Speaker 1: then the people here allowing you to do that, which

1338
01:06:27,240 --> 01:06:30,080
Speaker 1: I think is really cool and participate in their tradition.

1339
01:06:30,080 --> 01:06:31,720
Speaker 1: I mean, we sort of like if you were an

1340
01:06:31,760 --> 01:06:33,880
Speaker 1: away team going to A and M and then a M,

1341
01:06:34,000 --> 01:06:35,520
Speaker 1: let you do all Oh wait, they don't let you

1342
01:06:35,600 --> 01:06:37,960
Speaker 1: do that. Sorry? Well how about this though? When the

1343
01:06:38,040 --> 01:06:40,280
Speaker 1: Texans played here in twenty sixteen, I think there was

1344
01:06:40,320 --> 01:06:42,000
Speaker 1: only one touchdown of the game, right, it was Ryan

1345
01:06:42,040 --> 01:06:45,560
Speaker 1: Griffin's catch. Nice Hop had one late oh hop, yeah,

1346
01:06:45,560 --> 01:06:47,880
Speaker 1: Hop had a late score that really didn't affect the outcome.

1347
01:06:48,680 --> 01:06:52,000
Speaker 1: So Griffin catches the ball and then he finds a

1348
01:06:52,120 --> 01:06:54,720
Speaker 1: group of Texans fans right near where he caught it

1349
01:06:55,240 --> 01:06:57,800
Speaker 1: and jumps in and does a Lambeau leap. And that's

1350
01:06:57,840 --> 01:07:00,360
Speaker 1: gonna make our traveling Texans video that you gonna se

1351
01:07:00,440 --> 01:07:02,480
Speaker 1: onw Thursday night on ABC thirteen. We got a lot

1352
01:07:02,520 --> 01:07:06,200
Speaker 1: of great extra coverage and extra content for you in

1353
01:07:06,400 --> 01:07:08,080
Speaker 1: that game, and one of them is a piece on

1354
01:07:08,200 --> 01:07:11,000
Speaker 1: the Traveling Texans one of the videos, and it's just

1355
01:07:11,240 --> 01:07:14,040
Speaker 1: it's a great piece, and our video crew does an

1356
01:07:14,080 --> 01:07:18,120
Speaker 1: amazing job. And we featured some of that in our

1357
01:07:18,600 --> 01:07:21,320
Speaker 1: We Are Texans special that re aired this past Saturday night.

1358
01:07:21,320 --> 01:07:23,480
Speaker 1: We're gonna air it again because it's I think it's

1359
01:07:23,560 --> 01:07:27,560
Speaker 1: Emmy Award winning or at least nomination type material. It's

1360
01:07:27,640 --> 01:07:30,560
Speaker 1: really good stuff. But the Traveling Texans will be here

1361
01:07:30,960 --> 01:07:32,600
Speaker 1: and maybe you get a shot on the lambo leap.

1362
01:07:32,640 --> 01:07:35,360
Speaker 1: My point was that you do get to participate in

1363
01:07:35,440 --> 01:07:38,280
Speaker 1: some other teams traditions sometimes now during a game, they're

1364
01:07:38,320 --> 01:07:40,920
Speaker 1: not really into that, the Packer fans, like, I don't

1365
01:07:40,960 --> 01:07:42,800
Speaker 1: want you doing a lambo leap in my house. But

1366
01:07:43,080 --> 01:07:45,520
Speaker 1: it all worked out and people here are friendly and

1367
01:07:45,560 --> 01:07:47,120
Speaker 1: they get it and they won the game. Anyway. I

1368
01:07:47,200 --> 01:07:48,560
Speaker 1: had moved to the back of the end zone for

1369
01:07:48,640 --> 01:07:51,000
Speaker 1: that because they had gotten down to the goal line. Yeah,

1370
01:07:51,040 --> 01:07:53,640
Speaker 1: and so I was standing maybe a good man not

1371
01:07:53,760 --> 01:07:56,520
Speaker 1: even twenty yards away from Griff when he did that

1372
01:07:56,560 --> 01:07:58,600
Speaker 1: and I could see him working his way back then.

1373
01:07:58,640 --> 01:08:00,680
Speaker 1: I was like, Oh, he's gonna Lambo leap. And if

1374
01:08:00,720 --> 01:08:03,240
Speaker 1: I had been, I mean, I was covered in snow

1375
01:08:03,400 --> 01:08:05,840
Speaker 1: and I couldn't even get my phone on my pocket,

1376
01:08:05,880 --> 01:08:07,360
Speaker 1: But that would have been a great picture to have

1377
01:08:08,000 --> 01:08:10,960
Speaker 1: of him in Lambeau with the snow coming down amongst

1378
01:08:10,960 --> 01:08:13,280
Speaker 1: all the Texans fans, celebrity touchdown. That would have been

1379
01:08:13,280 --> 01:08:16,640
Speaker 1: a really cool picture to have because that was that

1380
01:08:16,760 --> 01:08:18,280
Speaker 1: was really neat. I mean I could see. I was like, Oh,

1381
01:08:18,280 --> 01:08:20,719
Speaker 1: he's gonna Lamba lead this. Check this out. The players

1382
01:08:20,760 --> 01:08:22,960
Speaker 1: talking about it too, the players I remember leading up

1383
01:08:23,000 --> 01:08:24,920
Speaker 1: to that game. I remember I seeing some in the

1384
01:08:24,960 --> 01:08:26,680
Speaker 1: hallway like, hey, you score, You're gonna lambo. Oh yeah,

1385
01:08:26,680 --> 01:08:29,160
Speaker 1: I'm gonna Labo lead heck yeah, point yeah. I mean,

1386
01:08:29,360 --> 01:08:31,599
Speaker 1: if you do it in the Packer fan area, man,

1387
01:08:31,800 --> 01:08:34,679
Speaker 1: it's not like anything bad's gonna happen. To be careful.

1388
01:08:34,920 --> 01:08:38,479
Speaker 1: So we're here fieldside in Green Bay. Next segment, we'll

1389
01:08:38,560 --> 01:08:41,479
Speaker 1: hear from Landry in Houston. He'll throw us questions. We'll

Speaker 1: take place after we're done with the program here and

01:09:14,120 --> 01:09:17,120
Speaker 1: Seawan Watson. This is Jonathan Joseph. I'm Bill O'Brien and

1401
01:09:17,240 --> 01:09:25,679
Speaker 1: you're listening to Texans Radio, Tesas Radio. Texans Radio, lambeau Field.

1402
01:09:25,760 --> 01:09:28,920
Speaker 1: Mark and John with you as the Texans are making

1403
01:09:28,920 --> 01:09:31,479
Speaker 1: their way over to the field. Here the bikes. See

1404
01:09:31,479 --> 01:09:33,960
Speaker 1: all the tweets, Houston Texans, follow us on Twitter, all

1405
01:09:34,000 --> 01:09:36,880
Speaker 1: our social media channels. We are covering the bike ride

1406
01:09:36,920 --> 01:09:40,479
Speaker 1: over the dream drive as they call it, and they're

1407
01:09:40,520 --> 01:09:43,639
Speaker 1: gonna practice with the packers today. It'll be fun stuff.

1408
01:09:43,640 --> 01:09:46,439
Speaker 1: Are they in full pads today? Yeah? Stare in full pads. Excellent.

1409
01:09:46,680 --> 01:09:48,720
Speaker 1: I'm watching this. One little kid is on the bike

1410
01:09:48,880 --> 01:09:51,799
Speaker 1: riding and he's walking next to one of the Texans

1411
01:09:51,920 --> 01:09:55,560
Speaker 1: defensive line and it was like if he tried to

1412
01:09:55,600 --> 01:09:57,719
Speaker 1: get on that bike, he might break it, So maybe

1413
01:09:57,720 --> 01:09:59,840
Speaker 1: that's what the discussion was. I don't know. Yeah, he's

1414
01:10:00,000 --> 01:10:02,320
Speaker 1: walking over. It's pretty this This is really cool man,

1415
01:10:02,400 --> 01:10:04,720
Speaker 1: that we don't want any here. Are they doing this

1416
01:10:04,800 --> 01:10:06,840
Speaker 1: tomorrow too? I guess that's every day. I think it's

1417
01:10:06,880 --> 01:10:08,720
Speaker 1: every training camp, dare. I don't. I don't think it's

1418
01:10:08,760 --> 01:10:11,040
Speaker 1: during the season, but I think it's definitely every training camp, dare.

1419
01:10:11,040 --> 01:10:12,559
Speaker 1: I love it. And so what they're doing is they're

1420
01:10:12,600 --> 01:10:14,439
Speaker 1: going down the drive at the south Gate and then

1421
01:10:14,479 --> 01:10:17,559
Speaker 1: they get too I believe that's Lombardi Way. They get

1422
01:10:17,560 --> 01:10:20,120
Speaker 1: to Lombardi Way and they'll cross the street and then

1423
01:10:20,160 --> 01:10:22,800
Speaker 1: they'll that'll get them to Hinklefield where they're gonna do

1424
01:10:22,840 --> 01:10:24,920
Speaker 1: their work before they come over here to go against

1425
01:10:24,920 --> 01:10:27,160
Speaker 1: the Packers. So, man, I love all these streets named

1426
01:10:27,160 --> 01:10:34,599
Speaker 1: after people. Hint, hint, someday, just kidding, Johnson Drive Andrey

1427
01:10:34,680 --> 01:10:38,120
Speaker 1: Johnson Drive. Well, I think Vandermere Avenue, like, oh no,

1428
01:10:38,320 --> 01:10:41,280
Speaker 1: vander Way john Oh, that's that's what it's gonna be. Okay,

1429
01:10:41,640 --> 01:10:43,720
Speaker 1: Now I'll just look, I'll take a door named after

1430
01:10:43,800 --> 01:10:47,599
Speaker 1: me or something, doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. But that's

1431
01:10:47,600 --> 01:10:51,559
Speaker 1: like it's thirty years, okay, thirty I know it's gonna

1432
01:10:51,560 --> 01:10:54,240
Speaker 1: be named after you, and I'm gonna push for it.

1433
01:10:54,280 --> 01:10:58,080
Speaker 1: If I'm still wait, what's that, Mark Vanamy Radio booth. Oh,

1434
01:10:58,840 --> 01:11:00,720
Speaker 1: but you know what, here's the thing though, I want

1435
01:11:00,760 --> 01:11:04,960
Speaker 1: the next stadium because they'll be named after me. Then

1436
01:11:05,040 --> 01:11:08,439
Speaker 1: the record it'll be like, eh, we're not gonna bring

1437
01:11:08,520 --> 01:11:11,200
Speaker 1: that back over here in this new facility, you know,

1438
01:11:11,280 --> 01:11:13,960
Speaker 1: in thirty five years whatever. Okay, let's get to this now.

1439
01:11:14,120 --> 01:11:17,600
Speaker 1: Landry Locker joins us from Houston as we are in

1440
01:11:17,720 --> 01:11:20,360
Speaker 1: Green Bay. He's got his questions of the day for us.

1441
01:11:20,520 --> 01:11:23,120
Speaker 1: Good morning, Landry, Good morning fellows. Of course, the question

1442
01:11:23,200 --> 01:11:26,719
Speaker 1: on every Texans mind Deonta Foreman released by the Texans.

1443
01:11:26,840 --> 01:11:29,160
Speaker 1: What now at the running back position? What should we

1444
01:11:29,240 --> 01:11:32,519
Speaker 1: be looking for from the depth chart? After Lamar Miller.

1445
01:11:32,760 --> 01:11:35,000
Speaker 1: We probably should have hit this at every segment today

1446
01:11:35,040 --> 01:11:37,439
Speaker 1: because I know it's a big story because Deonta Foreman

1447
01:11:37,520 --> 01:11:41,320
Speaker 1: is so local and popular, But we hit it from

1448
01:11:41,360 --> 01:11:43,880
Speaker 1: the get go. And Johnny, as far as the depth

1449
01:11:43,960 --> 01:11:47,040
Speaker 1: chart goes, Look, we've seen Josh Ferguson get a lot

1450
01:11:47,080 --> 01:11:49,479
Speaker 1: of reps. We've seen Taiwan Jones get a lot of reps,

1451
01:11:49,760 --> 01:11:53,479
Speaker 1: but I think the highest upside clearly belongs to these rookies.

1452
01:11:53,800 --> 01:11:58,000
Speaker 1: Is it Damarie Crockett, Is it Karen Higden? One of

1453
01:11:58,120 --> 01:12:00,960
Speaker 1: these two players. And if it's not, if you don't

1454
01:12:01,040 --> 01:12:03,559
Speaker 1: see it in these preseason games, I think they're gonna

1455
01:12:03,560 --> 01:12:05,200
Speaker 1: go out and get somebody. They might go out and

1456
01:12:05,240 --> 01:12:06,840
Speaker 1: get somebody even if you do see it in these

1457
01:12:06,880 --> 01:12:10,960
Speaker 1: preseason games. Your thoughts, Yeah, I think you put it best.

1458
01:12:11,120 --> 01:12:12,800
Speaker 1: That was it right there. You've got a vet in

1459
01:12:12,800 --> 01:12:14,840
Speaker 1: Taiwan Jones, but he hasn't played a lot of running back.

1460
01:12:14,880 --> 01:12:17,439
Speaker 1: He's been special teams. He even played corner at some

1461
01:12:17,560 --> 01:12:19,880
Speaker 1: point during his career just to get himself on the field.

1462
01:12:19,880 --> 01:12:22,320
Speaker 1: And Josh Ferguson's had a cup of coffee with a

1463
01:12:22,439 --> 01:12:26,640
Speaker 1: couple of places. But the upside, relatively speaking, is with

1464
01:12:26,840 --> 01:12:29,840
Speaker 1: Higden and with Crockett, and I like both those guys.

1465
01:12:29,920 --> 01:12:32,080
Speaker 1: I did. When I heard that they signed him, I

1466
01:12:32,200 --> 01:12:34,960
Speaker 1: was really excited about it, and look, I was excited

1467
01:12:34,960 --> 01:12:36,559
Speaker 1: about what Foreman was going to be able to bring.

1468
01:12:36,680 --> 01:12:40,800
Speaker 1: But if you're not able to do things the way

1469
01:12:40,880 --> 01:12:44,640
Speaker 1: that the organization wants you too, then it's time to

1470
01:12:44,720 --> 01:12:46,800
Speaker 1: move on to a different place. To allow you to

1471
01:12:46,960 --> 01:12:49,080
Speaker 1: go somewhere else and make an impact somewhere else. So

1472
01:12:49,560 --> 01:12:51,960
Speaker 1: Higden Crockett, keep an eye on those two. And look,

1473
01:12:52,200 --> 01:12:54,719
Speaker 1: there are going to be what fifteen other preseason games

1474
01:12:54,760 --> 01:12:57,360
Speaker 1: going on this weekend, So keep an eye on those

1475
01:12:57,400 --> 01:12:59,080
Speaker 1: games and see what other players that are off the

1476
01:12:59,120 --> 01:13:01,200
Speaker 1: beaten path, or hey man, that guy might look good.

1477
01:13:01,240 --> 01:13:02,680
Speaker 1: That guy might But I'm gonna keep an eye on

1478
01:13:02,720 --> 01:13:04,519
Speaker 1: thirty one and thirty six. Those are the two guys

1479
01:13:04,560 --> 01:13:07,519
Speaker 1: that got a low upside, and they they both run hard,

1480
01:13:07,560 --> 01:13:10,080
Speaker 1: and they'll run inside, and they'll go on special teams.

1481
01:13:10,080 --> 01:13:12,920
Speaker 1: I know that. I know Crockett definitely will because I've

1482
01:13:12,920 --> 01:13:14,559
Speaker 1: seen him. I see him run down a Koff team.

1483
01:13:14,600 --> 01:13:16,120
Speaker 1: He's one of the first guys down there. I mean

1484
01:13:16,200 --> 01:13:20,840
Speaker 1: he can fly. But look Colin Glaspia, well, I think

1485
01:13:20,840 --> 01:13:22,600
Speaker 1: he figures into the mix. But I don't, you know,

1486
01:13:22,760 --> 01:13:24,800
Speaker 1: he's not gonna be like, let's let's hand him the

1487
01:13:24,840 --> 01:13:27,800
Speaker 1: ball eight times to game even I don't. I don't

1488
01:13:28,040 --> 01:13:31,200
Speaker 1: see him that way. And you know me, I'm professor positive.

1489
01:13:31,240 --> 01:13:33,800
Speaker 1: I'm the Norman Vincent Peel of sports talk radio. But

1490
01:13:33,840 --> 01:13:35,360
Speaker 1: I've heard people say, well, you never know what these

1491
01:13:35,400 --> 01:13:38,360
Speaker 1: rookies because Arian Foster dot dot dot Listen. That's easier

1492
01:13:38,400 --> 01:13:40,680
Speaker 1: said than done. I mean that was they didn't they

1493
01:13:40,680 --> 01:13:43,400
Speaker 1: didn't even know Arian Foster was gonna be Arian Foster

1494
01:13:43,520 --> 01:13:46,120
Speaker 1: because they cut him. If you have a player on

1495
01:13:46,160 --> 01:13:47,920
Speaker 1: the practice squad, that means at some point he's been

1496
01:13:48,000 --> 01:13:50,559
Speaker 1: cut from your roster and available to every other team

1497
01:13:50,560 --> 01:13:53,240
Speaker 1: in the league. So what happened there was They're like,

1498
01:13:53,520 --> 01:13:56,280
Speaker 1: let's keep this Foster guy around. Maybe he materializes. I

1499
01:13:56,320 --> 01:13:58,200
Speaker 1: don't think I gotta go back and look at the numbers,

1500
01:13:58,200 --> 01:14:01,240
Speaker 1: and I should from the two thousand nine preseason. What

1501
01:14:01,360 --> 01:14:03,920
Speaker 1: were his running numbers? I don't know they if they

1502
01:14:03,960 --> 01:14:05,640
Speaker 1: were that great, Because that they were, they might not

1503
01:14:05,680 --> 01:14:07,320
Speaker 1: have let him go in the first place and then

1504
01:14:07,400 --> 01:14:09,559
Speaker 1: brought him back on the practice squad. They brought him

1505
01:14:09,560 --> 01:14:11,559
Speaker 1: back up the practice squad, he ultimately made the roster

1506
01:14:11,880 --> 01:14:14,280
Speaker 1: special teams, and then boom it took off from there

1507
01:14:14,280 --> 01:14:16,880
Speaker 1: in the last two games of that season. So that's

1508
01:14:17,439 --> 01:14:19,160
Speaker 1: a lot to ask for one of these guys to

1509
01:14:19,200 --> 01:14:22,040
Speaker 1: measure up even to seventy percent of that. But you

1510
01:14:22,160 --> 01:14:24,679
Speaker 1: never know. Let's see what happens in these preseason games. Well,

1511
01:14:24,720 --> 01:14:26,960
Speaker 1: and I think this to your point, Look, you may

1512
01:14:27,200 --> 01:14:29,599
Speaker 1: never again get an Arian Foster, but that's at one

1513
01:14:29,680 --> 01:14:31,880
Speaker 1: end of the spectrum. What you're hoping is that, like

1514
01:14:31,960 --> 01:14:35,240
Speaker 1: you said, if you could get something that you get

1515
01:14:35,400 --> 01:14:39,240
Speaker 1: positive result from it, great, Because guess what's coming in

1516
01:14:39,320 --> 01:14:42,920
Speaker 1: twenty twenty Cam Akers from Florida State, AJ Dillon from

1517
01:14:42,920 --> 01:14:47,720
Speaker 1: Boston College, Jonathan Taylor from Madison University Wisconsin, Travis Etienne

1518
01:14:47,800 --> 01:14:50,320
Speaker 1: from Clemson. What is coming is one of the best

1519
01:14:50,400 --> 01:14:53,000
Speaker 1: running back classes that we will have seen in quite

1520
01:14:53,080 --> 01:14:55,560
Speaker 1: some time. Now, those guys are all juniors, but this

1521
01:14:55,760 --> 01:14:59,120
Speaker 1: running back class that's come out is going to be phenomenal.

1522
01:14:59,200 --> 01:15:01,760
Speaker 1: So I'm not saying just survive this year running back.

1523
01:15:01,760 --> 01:15:03,240
Speaker 1: You gotta do what you gotta do. But if he

1524
01:15:03,280 --> 01:15:06,000
Speaker 1: gets to the point where it doesn't get better by

1525
01:15:06,360 --> 01:15:08,719
Speaker 1: the end of the season, that you're like, you gotta

1526
01:15:08,760 --> 01:15:11,320
Speaker 1: do something. You could look to the draft and find

1527
01:15:11,439 --> 01:15:13,920
Speaker 1: a big time running back coming to the NFL. I

1528
01:15:14,000 --> 01:15:16,559
Speaker 1: gotta get to New Orleans with some really choice here,

1529
01:15:16,600 --> 01:15:20,560
Speaker 1: you know. Next, all right, what's the thing that you

1530
01:15:20,680 --> 01:15:23,360
Speaker 1: guys are most watching for? Because the Texans and Packers,

1531
01:15:23,439 --> 01:15:26,320
Speaker 1: when you when you stack up strength on strength, John,

1532
01:15:26,439 --> 01:15:29,519
Speaker 1: what is the thing that you are most watching for today?

1533
01:15:29,560 --> 01:15:32,880
Speaker 1: As these two teams get off their joint practice. Well,

1534
01:15:32,960 --> 01:15:35,160
Speaker 1: the biggest thing that I want to see today, and

1535
01:15:35,400 --> 01:15:37,439
Speaker 1: you said you said strength, I think still one of

1536
01:15:37,439 --> 01:15:40,479
Speaker 1: the question marks is how is this corner group. Not

1537
01:15:40,600 --> 01:15:42,960
Speaker 1: safety so much, but how the corners are gonna cover.

1538
01:15:43,320 --> 01:15:45,720
Speaker 1: And they're facing one of the best route runners in

1539
01:15:46,080 --> 01:15:48,719
Speaker 1: football and DeVante Adams. So I want to see Roby.

1540
01:15:48,880 --> 01:15:50,679
Speaker 1: I want to see Lonnie Johnson. I want to see

1541
01:15:50,760 --> 01:15:55,680
Speaker 1: Jonathan Joseph going against DeVante Adams. He's ridiculous with his

1542
01:15:55,800 --> 01:15:58,400
Speaker 1: releases and he knows it and he'll tell him about

1543
01:15:58,439 --> 01:16:01,400
Speaker 1: it too. He's phenomenal. He's great to catch point. I

1544
01:16:01,560 --> 01:16:05,639
Speaker 1: want to see these corners going against Devanta Adams in particularly. Look,

1545
01:16:05,680 --> 01:16:07,560
Speaker 1: this is a big wide receiver group. I was just

1546
01:16:07,600 --> 01:16:10,200
Speaker 1: looking at a little while ago. You've got Jake Comero,

1547
01:16:10,280 --> 01:16:12,720
Speaker 1: who's been really good at Wisconsin Whitewater. He's six four.

1548
01:16:13,200 --> 01:16:15,559
Speaker 1: It's about the Adams is six two, Equinimus Saint Brown

1549
01:16:15,680 --> 01:16:18,439
Speaker 1: is six five. You're talking about a big crew. Trevor

1550
01:16:18,560 --> 01:16:20,360
Speaker 1: Davis is six one. I don't think of a receiver

1551
01:16:20,520 --> 01:16:22,960
Speaker 1: under six foot. It seems so they're gonna be challenged

1552
01:16:23,000 --> 01:16:25,519
Speaker 1: by some big receivers. But to me. It's Adams in

1553
01:16:25,600 --> 01:16:30,280
Speaker 1: the way that he negotiates his releases, how crafty he is,

1554
01:16:30,439 --> 01:16:32,680
Speaker 1: how patient he is. He's very key and alan in

1555
01:16:32,800 --> 01:16:34,519
Speaker 1: that way. He's not a guy that runs four four

1556
01:16:34,520 --> 01:16:36,759
Speaker 1: and he runs by you, but he can get releases

1557
01:16:36,800 --> 01:16:38,240
Speaker 1: from you and get separation because of the way he

1558
01:16:38,320 --> 01:16:40,679
Speaker 1: runs his routes. I think he is a great, great

1559
01:16:40,800 --> 01:16:43,120
Speaker 1: test for those corners, and I know I'm gonna have

1560
01:16:43,200 --> 01:16:45,519
Speaker 1: my eyes on those guys for sure. Well, this old line,

1561
01:16:45,520 --> 01:16:48,840
Speaker 1: I mean clearly, that's always the headline, right Well, that's

1562
01:16:48,920 --> 01:16:50,800
Speaker 1: that's the other one too. I mean, you think about

1563
01:16:50,800 --> 01:16:55,280
Speaker 1: the pass rushers. They drafted Rashaan Gary, they signed Zadarius

1564
01:16:55,360 --> 01:17:00,799
Speaker 1: Smith this offseason. Those are two very interesting pass rushers

1565
01:17:00,960 --> 01:17:05,200
Speaker 1: to say the absolutely. So Darius Smith is coming at

1566
01:17:05,200 --> 01:17:06,600
Speaker 1: you like two seventy five. He's kind of like a

1567
01:17:06,640 --> 01:17:10,360
Speaker 1: poor man's clowning and that he's strong, very physical h

1568
01:17:10,400 --> 01:17:11,760
Speaker 1: so he and he can rush from a lot of

1569
01:17:11,760 --> 01:17:14,160
Speaker 1: different spots. But then you draft for Shawn Garry, who

1570
01:17:14,200 --> 01:17:16,040
Speaker 1: was one of their athletes in college football last year,

1571
01:17:16,240 --> 01:17:18,080
Speaker 1: so you put that in the mix from pass rushing.

1572
01:17:18,080 --> 01:17:20,280
Speaker 1: Now they don't have Clay Matthews anymore. But you know,

1573
01:17:20,360 --> 01:17:22,560
Speaker 1: Clay was kind of his last legs anyways, but that

1574
01:17:22,680 --> 01:17:24,479
Speaker 1: I think is gonna be a good one with those

1575
01:17:24,520 --> 01:17:26,679
Speaker 1: two in particular. Have my eyes on those of Darius

1576
01:17:26,720 --> 01:17:29,960
Speaker 1: Smith and Rashaan Gary going against those tackles and see

1577
01:17:30,000 --> 01:17:33,400
Speaker 1: how Khalil and in the group tackles, uh, how they perform.

1578
01:17:33,720 --> 01:17:36,320
Speaker 1: How about these these other running backs not named Lamar

1579
01:17:36,360 --> 01:17:39,200
Speaker 1: Miller fro Texans and the opportunity that they have in

1580
01:17:39,280 --> 01:17:42,320
Speaker 1: front of them now doubts. I mean, they are really

1581
01:17:42,400 --> 01:17:46,080
Speaker 1: excited about this these next two three four days because

1582
01:17:46,360 --> 01:17:48,160
Speaker 1: they'll have a walk through Wednesday, but you have three

1583
01:17:48,200 --> 01:17:50,760
Speaker 1: of the next four days are really go time as

1584
01:17:50,840 --> 01:17:53,200
Speaker 1: far as auditions go. Because I gotta say this, if

1585
01:17:53,280 --> 01:17:56,600
Speaker 1: it doesn't go well in that spot right in the

1586
01:17:56,720 --> 01:17:59,559
Speaker 1: next three out of four days, yeah, and you might

1587
01:17:59,600 --> 01:18:01,400
Speaker 1: be doing this anyway, but you're starting to look around

1588
01:18:01,400 --> 01:18:03,880
Speaker 1: the league like, yeah, what else might be out there

1589
01:18:03,960 --> 01:18:06,360
Speaker 1: for me? So somebody's got to rise, maybe more than

1590
01:18:06,439 --> 01:18:08,920
Speaker 1: one person. Well to your point, and you you kind

1591
01:18:08,960 --> 01:18:10,360
Speaker 1: of brought this up the other day and I kind

1592
01:18:10,360 --> 01:18:11,800
Speaker 1: of went on a little bit of a mini rant.

1593
01:18:13,240 --> 01:18:18,120
Speaker 1: Our pro personnel staff has been working on this for months.

1594
01:18:18,840 --> 01:18:21,040
Speaker 1: It's not like it's not like they woke up and

1595
01:18:21,200 --> 01:18:22,680
Speaker 1: found out the same news we did, and when oh,

1596
01:18:22,720 --> 01:18:26,120
Speaker 1: we gotta start looking. They are looking at it constantly,

1597
01:18:26,280 --> 01:18:31,160
Speaker 1: so we might available exactly. They know who's there, they

1598
01:18:31,280 --> 01:18:34,400
Speaker 1: know who's available, they know they know all of that,

1599
01:18:34,560 --> 01:18:36,479
Speaker 1: and they're on top of it. So they're working it

1600
01:18:36,600 --> 01:18:38,800
Speaker 1: so that if it comes to where they all they

1601
01:18:38,920 --> 01:18:41,040
Speaker 1: meet after this week is over and they're like, Okay,

1602
01:18:41,320 --> 01:18:43,280
Speaker 1: we we gotta do we gotta do something now, we

1603
01:18:43,360 --> 01:18:46,080
Speaker 1: gotta jump on this now, they're gonna be able to

1604
01:18:46,160 --> 01:18:49,280
Speaker 1: move on it relatively quickly. I I just go back

1605
01:18:49,320 --> 01:18:51,680
Speaker 1: to I don't think they were I don't think that

1606
01:18:51,760 --> 01:18:53,479
Speaker 1: they were surprised. I think this is probably something they've

1607
01:18:53,520 --> 01:18:54,840
Speaker 1: been looking at just in case. I think they did

1608
01:18:54,880 --> 01:18:58,120
Speaker 1: that for oppositions. Hey, what what's the what's the worst

1609
01:18:58,200 --> 01:19:02,080
Speaker 1: case if scenario? If this guy gets hurt or if

1610
01:19:02,160 --> 01:19:04,840
Speaker 1: this guy just doesn't cut it that we signed, what

1611
01:19:05,040 --> 01:19:06,840
Speaker 1: are our options? And obviously a lot of that has

1612
01:19:06,880 --> 01:19:09,479
Speaker 1: to do with the pro Personnel group. Uh that Rob

1613
01:19:09,560 --> 01:19:12,000
Speaker 1: Kissel and the guys are going to be looking at Landry.

1614
01:19:12,200 --> 01:19:14,599
Speaker 1: What's that? What's next? Who's the best Green Bay Packer

1615
01:19:14,720 --> 01:19:18,280
Speaker 1: quarterback of all time? Oh? I love this this is

1616
01:19:18,320 --> 01:19:22,800
Speaker 1: like picking between my kids. Bro's like from here, I

1617
01:19:23,280 --> 01:19:26,360
Speaker 1: almost am gonna abstain from this one. Well, look, most people,

1618
01:19:26,520 --> 01:19:29,040
Speaker 1: I think fortunately to pick between my kids. Most football

1619
01:19:29,120 --> 01:19:31,040
Speaker 1: nerds are gonna say, welly Aaron Rodgers because he's the

1620
01:19:31,120 --> 01:19:33,920
Speaker 1: best today, blah blah blah blah blah blah blah. But look,

1621
01:19:34,479 --> 01:19:37,320
Speaker 1: it's hard to measure these things because of the eras right,

1622
01:19:37,800 --> 01:19:41,800
Speaker 1: because Bart's star a seventeenth round draft choice. By the way,

1623
01:19:42,400 --> 01:19:45,280
Speaker 1: what his numbers at alabamare ten? He was hurt his

1624
01:19:45,360 --> 01:19:49,320
Speaker 1: senior year. He uh ten touchdowns in his career twenty interceptions.

1625
01:19:49,400 --> 01:19:51,760
Speaker 1: He had a one to two touchdown interception ratio. And

1626
01:19:51,800 --> 01:19:54,080
Speaker 1: it took a while here, right, a little bit, a

1627
01:19:54,120 --> 01:19:56,200
Speaker 1: little bit, he took a while to really get going. Yeah,

1628
01:19:56,280 --> 01:19:58,639
Speaker 1: but when Lombardi came to the Barty was like, that's

1629
01:19:58,680 --> 01:20:03,760
Speaker 1: my guy. Already made star of the guy. And then, uh,

1630
01:20:04,200 --> 01:20:07,400
Speaker 1: if I got to pick one, far well, I like

1631
01:20:07,560 --> 01:20:10,559
Speaker 1: Farve too because he resurrected the franchise. You know, they

1632
01:20:10,760 --> 01:20:14,400
Speaker 1: people forget, I mean, you always assume the title town

1633
01:20:14,479 --> 01:20:17,120
Speaker 1: and everything. Look, Lynn Dicky was a pretty good quarterback,

1634
01:20:17,320 --> 01:20:20,479
Speaker 1: he really was, Yeah, but he wasn't great clearly. But

1635
01:20:20,600 --> 01:20:22,880
Speaker 1: he put up good numbers in an era where that

1636
01:20:23,040 --> 01:20:24,840
Speaker 1: was not happening for a lot of guys. You know,

1637
01:20:25,000 --> 01:20:27,200
Speaker 1: Lynn Dicky, is it just done on me? He's match hup,

1638
01:20:27,680 --> 01:20:30,320
Speaker 1: lind Dicky is match shop. It's the it's perfect. He

1639
01:20:30,400 --> 01:20:32,080
Speaker 1: threw for a lot of numbers, but they didn't win

1640
01:20:32,120 --> 01:20:34,479
Speaker 1: a whole lot. Now, Matt did get you know, the

1641
01:20:34,520 --> 01:20:36,519
Speaker 1: team to the plaffs, lind Dicky did get the package

1642
01:20:36,520 --> 01:20:38,439
Speaker 1: to the playf Lind Dicky's match up. It just thought

1643
01:20:38,680 --> 01:20:41,680
Speaker 1: Don Mkowski the magic Man, oh Man, the magic Man.

1644
01:20:41,800 --> 01:20:43,680
Speaker 1: My senior in high school was winning games and it

1645
01:20:43,800 --> 01:20:47,880
Speaker 1: was like it was heaven. It was heaven, and then

1646
01:20:47,960 --> 01:20:50,920
Speaker 1: favor comes around aka far Farve comes around. It was

1647
01:20:51,040 --> 01:20:54,880
Speaker 1: like like this, listen, I was I was talking. I

1648
01:20:54,920 --> 01:20:56,719
Speaker 1: was talking to one of our engineers before the show

1649
01:20:56,800 --> 01:20:58,640
Speaker 1: who lives here in Wisconsin, was kind of helping us

1650
01:20:58,640 --> 01:21:00,840
Speaker 1: get set up, and and so we were talking. He said,

1651
01:21:00,880 --> 01:21:02,360
Speaker 1: you know all of this, and he kind of just

1652
01:21:02,439 --> 01:21:04,240
Speaker 1: took his hand. He kind of just waved over Lambeau

1653
01:21:04,360 --> 01:21:07,680
Speaker 1: in the center and titled town. He's like a lot

1654
01:21:07,760 --> 01:21:10,760
Speaker 1: of this happened after they won the Super Bowl, right

1655
01:21:10,880 --> 01:21:13,600
Speaker 1: in ninety six. Yeah, I brought the Super Bowl. This

1656
01:21:14,080 --> 01:21:17,720
Speaker 1: this all grew out of what what Farve did, and

1657
01:21:17,800 --> 01:21:20,280
Speaker 1: I will I will say this about Rogers though. The

1658
01:21:20,400 --> 01:21:24,040
Speaker 1: thing about Rogers is, here's a question, how bad would

1659
01:21:24,040 --> 01:21:28,000
Speaker 1: the Packers be over the last several seasons without Rogers? Well,

1660
01:21:28,000 --> 01:21:29,559
Speaker 1: I mean it's been clear when he's been hurt, they've

1661
01:21:29,600 --> 01:21:32,479
Speaker 1: been garbage. I mean, the rot he's he covers up

1662
01:21:32,600 --> 01:21:35,559
Speaker 1: so much on this roster. Now he's under the spotlight

1663
01:21:35,600 --> 01:21:38,040
Speaker 1: this year with new you know, because of last year,

1664
01:21:38,120 --> 01:21:41,840
Speaker 1: didn't and everything else. You knows how many years is

1665
01:21:42,040 --> 01:21:43,800
Speaker 1: without looking how many years Daron Rogers been in the

1666
01:21:43,880 --> 01:21:48,439
Speaker 1: league since? What when was he drafted five? Yeah, he

1667
01:21:48,520 --> 01:21:51,000
Speaker 1: was drafted at oh five. He's been a longer j

1668
01:21:51,160 --> 01:21:55,600
Speaker 1: jo now for years. But still it's just I know,

1669
01:21:55,680 --> 01:21:58,599
Speaker 1: he's said, it's phenomenal to think about that. Anything else, Landry,

1670
01:21:58,840 --> 01:22:03,439
Speaker 1: what team was and Dicky drafted by Oilers? You go? Okay?

1671
01:22:03,560 --> 01:22:05,479
Speaker 1: John Lopez thought he was gonna stump y'all. He thought

1672
01:22:05,520 --> 01:22:08,200
Speaker 1: he had some information that nobody else knew. Oh, just

1673
01:22:08,320 --> 01:22:10,120
Speaker 1: Ton he told me, he told me to throw that

1674
01:22:10,160 --> 01:22:12,759
Speaker 1: at Shaw and he underestimated all. He said, I guarantee

1675
01:22:12,800 --> 01:22:14,400
Speaker 1: they won't know that. Boy, you know, a lot of

1676
01:22:14,640 --> 01:22:18,000
Speaker 1: we knew that on in sync. A lot of interesting

1677
01:22:18,080 --> 01:22:20,400
Speaker 1: quarterbacks have been through all right, Well, who else was

1678
01:22:20,479 --> 01:22:24,240
Speaker 1: drafted in nineteen seventy one with Lynn Dickey? Damn Pastorini?

1679
01:22:24,320 --> 01:22:28,760
Speaker 1: Was Baby the number two pick Plunkett Pastorini, and then

1680
01:22:28,960 --> 01:22:32,760
Speaker 1: number three was or was or was Pastorini? I know

1681
01:22:32,880 --> 01:22:35,559
Speaker 1: it was Archie Mann arch Man. Yeah. So the other

1682
01:22:35,640 --> 01:22:38,439
Speaker 1: one was, Yeah, what would happen today if you drafted

1683
01:22:38,479 --> 01:22:40,920
Speaker 1: a quarterback in the first round and the third round? Well,

1684
01:22:41,000 --> 01:22:42,920
Speaker 1: the Redskins did in twenty and twelve and the fourth

1685
01:22:43,040 --> 01:22:45,960
Speaker 1: rounder became the starter. How about that? How about that?

1686
01:22:46,040 --> 01:22:48,519
Speaker 1: Take that Witch Lopez a lot of money. It's not

1687
01:22:48,560 --> 01:22:51,679
Speaker 1: like I didn't have confidence in him. Round was Steve

1688
01:22:51,760 --> 01:22:55,760
Speaker 1: Walls drafted by the Cowboys? What supplemental that? He was

1689
01:22:55,840 --> 01:22:58,439
Speaker 1: a supplemental first round pick? Yeah, but they had two

1690
01:22:58,560 --> 01:23:01,439
Speaker 1: rookies on that one and fifteen? Yeah right, Yeah, Walsh

1691
01:23:01,560 --> 01:23:03,840
Speaker 1: ended up getting the win. Ultimately, it worked out pretty

1692
01:23:03,880 --> 01:23:06,360
Speaker 1: well good for Walsh. Walsh is like Ken Dorsey, you know,

1693
01:23:06,479 --> 01:23:08,519
Speaker 1: he was awesome at Miami and then not so much

1694
01:23:08,520 --> 01:23:10,280
Speaker 1: in the pros, you know what I mean. Dorsey's still

1695
01:23:10,320 --> 01:23:12,720
Speaker 1: coaching though. All right, boys, what do you have going

1696
01:23:12,760 --> 01:23:15,160
Speaker 1: out on in the loop today. We got to talk

1697
01:23:15,200 --> 01:23:17,800
Speaker 1: to Darren Fells, and Darren Fells has a unique He

1698
01:23:18,200 --> 01:23:21,160
Speaker 1: is a unique case study because he's the only player

1699
01:23:21,200 --> 01:23:24,080
Speaker 1: in the NFL who's played with both Baker Mayfield and

1700
01:23:24,160 --> 01:23:26,360
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson. So we're gonna ask him about the difference

1701
01:23:26,400 --> 01:23:29,479
Speaker 1: between Baker and Deshan. We're gonna have reaction to the

1702
01:23:29,560 --> 01:23:32,080
Speaker 1: release of Deonta Foreman. We're gonna go live out there

1703
01:23:32,520 --> 01:23:35,280
Speaker 1: here from Bill O'Brien and Uh, Lopez and I were

1704
01:23:35,320 --> 01:23:37,360
Speaker 1: both at the Astros no hitter this Saturday. It's kind

1705
01:23:37,360 --> 01:23:39,559
Speaker 1: of ironic, but we were there, so we'll talk about

1706
01:23:39,600 --> 01:23:41,320
Speaker 1: that and how Jeff Luno has already won the trade

1707
01:23:41,360 --> 01:23:45,800
Speaker 1: deadline and Zach Grinky hadn't even stepped on a rubber yet. Uh.

1708
01:23:46,160 --> 01:23:48,720
Speaker 1: That sounded weird, but yeah, we got it, We got it,

1709
01:23:49,000 --> 01:23:53,519
Speaker 1: We understand. Okay, now now you're just being sell like,

1710
01:23:53,600 --> 01:23:57,320
Speaker 1: what's his name? This weekend Win and Williams. Yeah, okay,

1711
01:23:57,360 --> 01:24:00,200
Speaker 1: So this interesting comment. So later to your point where

1712
01:24:00,240 --> 01:24:04,120
Speaker 1: you go, what would the football equivalent be to a

1713
01:24:04,680 --> 01:24:07,920
Speaker 1: multi picture no hitter? I have an idea, but what

1714
01:24:08,280 --> 01:24:10,680
Speaker 1: what would the football equivalent the Texans did it with

1715
01:24:10,760 --> 01:24:13,560
Speaker 1: the three defensive touchdowns against Pittsburgh and O two with

1716
01:24:13,720 --> 01:24:16,760
Speaker 1: forty seven yards of offense. The immediate the thing that

1717
01:24:16,800 --> 01:24:20,160
Speaker 1: came to mind immediately for me was you had multiple

1718
01:24:20,280 --> 01:24:24,679
Speaker 1: quarterbacks somehow, some way that contributed to a perfect pass rating.

1719
01:24:25,439 --> 01:24:28,840
Speaker 1: Oh I see, yeah, but multiple quarterbacks is relatively rare.

1720
01:24:28,960 --> 01:24:31,320
Speaker 1: Multiple pictures in a baseball game is not. So I

1721
01:24:31,400 --> 01:24:33,360
Speaker 1: think you got to go in another direction. There about

1722
01:24:33,400 --> 01:24:37,920
Speaker 1: a special teams, a defensive a rushing in a passing touchdown. Oh,

1723
01:24:38,120 --> 01:24:40,320
Speaker 1: you hit all the different ways you can score. That's

1724
01:24:40,400 --> 01:24:42,720
Speaker 1: kind of like hitting for the cycles. It's like a

1725
01:24:42,760 --> 01:24:45,160
Speaker 1: football scoring cycle. Although I always thought hitting for the

1726
01:24:45,200 --> 01:24:47,640
Speaker 1: cycles the most overrated thing. It's just, seriously, wouldn't you

1727
01:24:47,720 --> 01:24:50,880
Speaker 1: rather have three doubles or something like that? Why do

1728
01:24:51,000 --> 01:24:52,880
Speaker 1: you make a big like he needs a single? Like

1729
01:24:53,000 --> 01:24:54,840
Speaker 1: what I'm not I'm gonna try to hit a single

1730
01:24:54,920 --> 01:24:57,480
Speaker 1: instead of all but right now, there's a perfect symmetry.

1731
01:24:57,960 --> 01:25:03,519
Speaker 1: That's thank you. That's a statistical weirdness. Is give me

1732
01:25:03,600 --> 01:25:06,200
Speaker 1: four home runs over there. You know it's funny. You're

1733
01:25:06,200 --> 01:25:08,000
Speaker 1: gonna go two home runs, two doubles. It's not gonna

1734
01:25:08,000 --> 01:25:10,000
Speaker 1: make that. Well, it's gonna make a headline like, yeah, great,

1735
01:25:10,280 --> 01:25:12,960
Speaker 1: but hitting for the cycle. Ooh he hit for the cycle,

1736
01:25:13,240 --> 01:25:16,240
Speaker 1: big deal. I mean it's kind of freaky, weird cool,

1737
01:25:16,400 --> 01:25:19,760
Speaker 1: but it's nothing compared to that. That's your best take

1738
01:25:19,800 --> 01:25:22,040
Speaker 1: of the day, Vandy. We are we're sitting here not

1739
01:25:22,200 --> 01:25:24,000
Speaker 1: and we one hundred and that's not that's not to

1740
01:25:24,080 --> 01:25:26,760
Speaker 1: say you didn't have good takes to begin with. On

1741
01:25:26,800 --> 01:25:28,479
Speaker 1: board with you, So it's only a good take because

1742
01:25:28,479 --> 01:25:30,799
Speaker 1: he agrees with you. I thought I thought my tweet

1743
01:25:30,840 --> 01:25:34,360
Speaker 1: of Packers fans fanning themselves at seventy degree temperatures was

1744
01:25:34,400 --> 01:25:37,160
Speaker 1: the best put a park on out here. I mean,

1745
01:25:37,280 --> 01:25:42,839
Speaker 1: it's just, yeah, this is this is it's the Houston

1746
01:25:43,360 --> 01:25:45,760
Speaker 1: Houstonian equivalent of this is when the women put on

1747
01:25:45,800 --> 01:25:47,760
Speaker 1: their boots at sixty eight degrees, because like, I can

1748
01:25:47,800 --> 01:25:50,240
Speaker 1: wear my boots. That's to showcase the legs. Vandy, and

1749
01:25:51,160 --> 01:25:52,519
Speaker 1: I love it. I love it. Are you kidding? I

1750
01:25:52,600 --> 01:25:54,720
Speaker 1: love living where we live. It's a it's a great thing.

1751
01:25:55,600 --> 01:25:59,400
Speaker 1: It's a great thing. Okay, Hey, it's just it's just

1752
01:25:59,720 --> 01:26:02,599
Speaker 1: you know, beatification of America. That's all that is, all right.

1753
01:26:03,000 --> 01:26:05,400
Speaker 1: Players are making their way out here now, Like we said,

1754
01:26:05,400 --> 01:26:08,479
Speaker 1: we got two seventy yard fields end to end in

1755
01:26:08,680 --> 01:26:12,040
Speaker 1: front of US Texans and packers about to practice Texans

1756
01:26:12,080 --> 01:26:14,680
Speaker 1: activating on another field and make their way over here.

1757
01:26:14,960 --> 01:26:17,800
Speaker 1: Like the in the Loop guys said, they'll have Bill

1758
01:26:17,840 --> 01:26:22,040
Speaker 1: O'Brien live after these sessions today and we'll hear what

1759
