Speaker 1: constantly need to have this phone on recharge because I'm like,

30
00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:48,440
Speaker 1: it's down to single digits again and percentage come on.

31
00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:52,000
Speaker 1: So it's just been that kind of time. But obviously,

32
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:54,000
Speaker 1: you know, start of the league year, everything going on.

33
00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:57,280
Speaker 1: Everyone wants to know what's happening. Yes, twenty twenty one,

34
00:01:57,440 --> 00:02:02,480
Speaker 1: the actual league year started to day at three o'clock Central,

35
00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:06,720
Speaker 1: teams trying to get things done. And we'll get to

36
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:10,119
Speaker 1: a few things that Texans did and what was made

37
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:14,959
Speaker 1: official in certain areas, in particular Indianapolis. Real fast out

38
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:19,160
Speaker 1: of the shoot last night news came down in involving

39
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:23,840
Speaker 1: a key Texan, Deshaun Watson. The Texans put out a

40
00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:28,120
Speaker 1: statement today. That's all really any of us can comment

41
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:30,440
Speaker 1: on it. Mark and I are not going to. And

42
00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:32,799
Speaker 1: we figured, you know, well, let's just talk football because

43
00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:37,040
Speaker 1: that's what people want to come listen to us talk ball,

44
00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:41,160
Speaker 1: So let's do it. Mark latanel the Texans news of

45
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:46,280
Speaker 1: the day and that being Zack Fulton trying to get

46
00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:50,160
Speaker 1: the cap in order for twenty twenty one after the

47
00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:55,680
Speaker 1: signings haven't all gone official, and again physicals have to

48
00:02:55,760 --> 00:03:00,480
Speaker 1: be passed for these things to go through. Keep that

49
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:06,160
Speaker 1: in mind. That said, the Texans release Zach Fulton, that

50
00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:08,399
Speaker 1: frees up I don't know about three point seven five

51
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:12,320
Speaker 1: million in cap space. It's a little bit, but I

52
00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:14,160
Speaker 1: think it was enough to get them under the cap

53
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:17,320
Speaker 1: and get them ready to go for the league year. Mark,

54
00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 1: your thoughts about Zach Fulton moving on his years here

55
00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:27,440
Speaker 1: in Houston and how you think going about this offensive line,

56
00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:31,560
Speaker 1: this offensive line will go about in twenty twenty one

57
00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:35,640
Speaker 1: and even beyond. Well, obviously you know Fulton was brought

58
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:38,440
Speaker 1: in here. We remember Jeff Allen right form our chief,

59
00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:41,800
Speaker 1: and then you went to Zach Fulton, former chief. He look,

60
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:46,160
Speaker 1: Fulton was part of some nice wins, some nice moments

61
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:49,040
Speaker 1: as a Houston Texan, no question about it. We all

62
00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:51,000
Speaker 1: know what happened in twenty to twenty. We all want

63
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:54,840
Speaker 1: to forget about that. But look, I prefer to remember

64
00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:57,800
Speaker 1: the good times, and there were plenty. And I think

65
00:03:57,840 --> 00:03:59,680
Speaker 1: that after you go through a year that the Texans

66
00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:02,920
Speaker 1: just experienced, you start to look at playoff seasons, even

67
00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:05,320
Speaker 1: where you lose in the first round, in the wildcard

68
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:07,680
Speaker 1: round or you get to the divisional round and I know,

69
00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:10,400
Speaker 1: the heartbreaking loss. We don't need to get into that anymore.

70
00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:13,080
Speaker 1: But the point is, you won a lot of games

71
00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:16,120
Speaker 1: with Zach Fulton, and that was good. But this year

72
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:17,800
Speaker 1: you lost a lot of games. So that's why we're

73
00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:20,080
Speaker 1: having this massive overhaul right now with the change at

74
00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:21,960
Speaker 1: the top and everything else. And I think that the

75
00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:25,760
Speaker 1: line took some steps forward. Johnny. Look, I know that

76
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:28,080
Speaker 1: Fulton has a lot of capability, But you bring in

77
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:32,520
Speaker 1: Marcus Cannon, right, I mean you you bring in help

78
00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:36,120
Speaker 1: immediately at the guard spot. And I know there's some

79
00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:39,560
Speaker 1: talk from the outside, not from the inside necessarily Everyan

80
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:41,880
Speaker 1: who knows what they're talking about behind closed doors about

81
00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:44,440
Speaker 1: you know, would you move Howard around, would you move Cannon?

82
00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:46,560
Speaker 1: To the outside. The point is this, I just think

83
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:48,520
Speaker 1: you're a better old line right now, based on the

84
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:53,000
Speaker 1: acquisitions that they've made so far, the reported acquisitions, because again,

85
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:54,520
Speaker 1: as you pointed out, they're not going to release any

86
00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:57,080
Speaker 1: names until all the eyes are donned and teas across

87
00:04:57,120 --> 00:05:00,480
Speaker 1: and physicals are taken, so the paperwork it's not eletely

88
00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:03,200
Speaker 1: in yet. But we all know we saw who's gonna

89
00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:05,719
Speaker 1: be on this football team. I think the line is better,

90
00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:08,800
Speaker 1: so they had to be under the cap. They've added

91
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:12,560
Speaker 1: what seventeen guys in the last week or so, and

92
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:16,800
Speaker 1: I think it's really positive stuff. Overall. This isn't it

93
00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:20,320
Speaker 1: necessarily because you still have the draft, you still have

94
00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:22,919
Speaker 1: other acquisitions you could possibly make, you still have trades.

95
00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:26,400
Speaker 1: But I do believe they are better on the old line.

96
00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:27,919
Speaker 1: And I want to ask you. I mean, they added

97
00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:31,000
Speaker 1: the center. You know, you add Marcus Cannon, You have

98
00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:34,719
Speaker 1: Sharping coming back. You know he's in year three now,

99
00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:38,120
Speaker 1: can he really get consistent the way you wanted him

100
00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:40,640
Speaker 1: to from the get go. I don't know. I don't

101
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:43,640
Speaker 1: know what they're thinking, but they're gonna get a chance

102
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:45,400
Speaker 1: to work with them, so we'll see how it goes

103
00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:48,440
Speaker 1: my whole thought mark going in. When I sat down

104
00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:49,960
Speaker 1: at the end of the season and I kind of

105
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:53,080
Speaker 1: went through each of the positions and thought about, Okay,

106
00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:59,040
Speaker 1: how does each position change going forward? What needs to happen,

107
00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:01,560
Speaker 1: what need need to look at? I wrote down. I

108
00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:05,040
Speaker 1: got to the interior offensive line and I said, I

109
00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:09,200
Speaker 1: think we're going to need two new starters, one at center,

110
00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:12,600
Speaker 1: one at guard, potentially a third new starter depending how

111
00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:15,159
Speaker 1: you look at snel kellumet day versus Max Sharping. And

112
00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:17,600
Speaker 1: I think Sneil started more games, maybe Max did. I

113
00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:21,320
Speaker 1: don't know either way. Let's say you do pencil Max

114
00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:24,840
Speaker 1: in at that left guard spot. I still felt like

115
00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:26,760
Speaker 1: there were going to be two new starters, and yes,

116
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:29,680
Speaker 1: that meant, you know, somebody to replace Nick Martin. So

117
00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:33,039
Speaker 1: this is pretty much on point with what I expected.

118
00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:35,760
Speaker 1: They went out and got a free agent in Justin

119
00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:39,320
Speaker 1: britt Now, I didn't anticipate them trading for Marcus Cannon,

120
00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:44,440
Speaker 1: And I'm not totally sure how my gut tells me

121
00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:47,320
Speaker 1: that Cannon Howard will be on the field, but how

122
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:50,880
Speaker 1: they line up, I don't know that. I'm not totally

123
00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:54,799
Speaker 1: sure about my gut, says Cannon at guard, Howard stays

124
00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:57,760
Speaker 1: at right tackle. But I think James Camp and offensive

125
00:06:57,800 --> 00:06:59,640
Speaker 1: line coach is gonna have plenty of opportunity to look

126
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:02,479
Speaker 1: at it, feel it out, and then go, okay, here's

127
00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:04,840
Speaker 1: how I want to go about doing it. I do

128
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:08,080
Speaker 1: feel like with those two guys Britt and Cannon added

129
00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:12,720
Speaker 1: when I last watch them play in twenty nineteen, I

130
00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:16,640
Speaker 1: felt like, man, those guys can play. Those guys would

131
00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:18,760
Speaker 1: be really good additions. You told me in twenty nineteen,

132
00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:20,640
Speaker 1: and hey, two years from now, you're gonna add Justin Britten,

133
00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:24,160
Speaker 1: You're gonna add Marcus Cannon. I would say, yeah, okay,

134
00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:26,920
Speaker 1: let's do it now that you throw in there an

135
00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:29,120
Speaker 1: ACL then you add in their COVID opt out, and

136
00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:31,520
Speaker 1: you're like, well, give me a little bit of hesitation,

137
00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:34,880
Speaker 1: I think. But again, it's been about eighteen months or

138
00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:38,800
Speaker 1: more for Justin Britt to not take all the pounding.

139
00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:43,160
Speaker 1: It's been you know, a year plus for Marcus Cannon

140
00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:46,760
Speaker 1: to not take that pounding. The last addition that I

141
00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:49,760
Speaker 1: put in there was I do feel like drafting an

142
00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:55,680
Speaker 1: interior offensive linement is not only a must, but I

143
00:07:55,720 --> 00:08:00,400
Speaker 1: think at that point that rookie you bring in depending

144
00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:02,720
Speaker 1: on where you draft them and who it ends up being.

145
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:06,520
Speaker 1: I think that rookie ends up being in competition with

146
00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:09,720
Speaker 1: Max Sharping potentially for that other guard spot. And I

147
00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:13,000
Speaker 1: like the interior offensive line in this drafts. They're not

148
00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:16,600
Speaker 1: guys that there's not a Quinton Nelson in this draft, Mark,

149
00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:19,440
Speaker 1: but there are a lot of talented dudes at the

150
00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:22,360
Speaker 1: guard spot in particular, some that I don't want to

151
00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:26,760
Speaker 1: say underperformed, but I think some guys with some outstanding

152
00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:30,960
Speaker 1: talent that just haven't gotten to their ceiling for whatever reason,

153
00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:34,800
Speaker 1: be it medical, COVID, whatever the case might be. So

154
00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:37,360
Speaker 1: I still think, and this was my plan, I think

155
00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:40,120
Speaker 1: two guys are changing. So I think a Vets coming in.

156
00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:42,720
Speaker 1: I felt like a rookie was gonna come in. I

157
00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:45,440
Speaker 1: didn't see the Marcus Cannon thing coming, but I like

158
00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:48,600
Speaker 1: it because if you get Cannon Howard out on the

159
00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:50,640
Speaker 1: field together, one of them is going to play guard

160
00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:53,679
Speaker 1: more than likely. So at that point, I feel like

161
00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:57,360
Speaker 1: you've gotten better on the offensive line, no doubt. Now

162
00:08:57,360 --> 00:08:59,680
Speaker 1: here's another one I would hit you with. Mark. This

163
00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:04,240
Speaker 1: is not been made official, and now that the days

164
00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:07,920
Speaker 1: are all running together, I mean really all running together,

165
00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:12,959
Speaker 1: I can't think this was today, But the Texans have

166
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:16,559
Speaker 1: tendered Farrell Brown tight end. It's a guy. We've talked

167
00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:19,679
Speaker 1: a lot about Farrell Brown coming back to the Texans,

168
00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:23,120
Speaker 1: and it looks like it's going to happen. Your gut

169
00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:25,520
Speaker 1: reaction to Farrell Brown joining the Texans are coming back

170
00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:28,360
Speaker 1: to the Texans for twenty twenty one, I feel like

171
00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:30,600
Speaker 1: this happened a while ago. Why do I feel like that?

172
00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:33,880
Speaker 1: But the thing is, with Farrell Brown, you have a

173
00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:36,720
Speaker 1: player who can catch the football. Look, he's not going

174
00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:39,480
Speaker 1: to be Gronk for you, okay, but he's going to

175
00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:43,400
Speaker 1: catch the football on occasion and be effective doing it.

176
00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:47,040
Speaker 1: But as a blocker, and I think as a team guy,

177
00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:50,600
Speaker 1: I think Farrell Brown can certainly help you win. We

178
00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:53,520
Speaker 1: all remember taking people with him on a few occasions

179
00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:57,199
Speaker 1: on catches and runs and that was really cool to see.

180
00:09:57,440 --> 00:10:00,000
Speaker 1: I like that. You know, it's funny because we really

181
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:02,520
Speaker 1: haven't talked too much tight End in this whole process,

182
00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:05,120
Speaker 1: have we. In fact, when I was writing my Daily

183
00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:08,320
Speaker 1: Brew today on the free agency frenzy, you know, due

184
00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:11,480
Speaker 1: to being an official team piece here, I can't name

185
00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:14,960
Speaker 1: players that they've acquired until they officially announced them. But

186
00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:16,760
Speaker 1: I said, you know, they got better in the trenches.

187
00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:19,800
Speaker 1: I think they got better overall on defense. I think

188
00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:21,559
Speaker 1: they got better in the backfield. You know, you had

189
00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:23,719
Speaker 1: mark Ingram, you have Tyrod Taylor to help out with

190
00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:26,880
Speaker 1: your quarterback depths. Great stuff, But we don't talk a

191
00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:29,400
Speaker 1: lot about tight end here. I do think they have

192
00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:32,120
Speaker 1: a good group. But where's it going? You know, when

193
00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:35,079
Speaker 1: you and I talked about Vandermack and whatever other mocks

194
00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:36,800
Speaker 1: there are out there, are they going to take a

195
00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:39,880
Speaker 1: tight end or not? But look, that's another solid piece.

196
00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:41,880
Speaker 1: And I think they have a lot of guys like

197
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:45,320
Speaker 1: this Johnny who are not going to lead off sports center.

198
00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:48,840
Speaker 1: You know, they're not going to create national headlines. PFT

199
00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:50,560
Speaker 1: is not going to get a lot of extra clicks

200
00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:52,480
Speaker 1: because of a lot a lot of the guys that

201
00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:57,120
Speaker 1: they signed. But it's the cumulative effect. It's the fact

202
00:10:57,200 --> 00:11:01,640
Speaker 1: that they're all good, solid players that can build you

203
00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:03,960
Speaker 1: can build a team around. You know that, you know

204
00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:09,000
Speaker 1: they are they are foundation pieces, So let's see how

205
00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:12,040
Speaker 1: it all fits together. I mean, I like the pieces

206
00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:14,200
Speaker 1: that they have here, but again, you know, you look

207
00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:17,080
Speaker 1: at some pieces that the Patriots brought in, but they're

208
00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:20,360
Speaker 1: really expensive, you know, So there's more risks there, I

209
00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:24,480
Speaker 1: think with the Texans, their cap situation being what it was,

210
00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:28,360
Speaker 1: their overall situation being what it was, it is, they've

211
00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:30,400
Speaker 1: done the right things here and Nick Cassia has gotten

212
00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:32,160
Speaker 1: a lot of credit for it so far. But again

213
00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:34,000
Speaker 1: it's all on paper and it's all March, and it

214
00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:36,079
Speaker 1: doesn't matter until you get to the field in September

215
00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:38,240
Speaker 1: and you see how it plays out in twenty twenty one.

216
00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:41,160
Speaker 1: So Farrell Brands is part of the mix right now, Yeah,

217
00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:44,920
Speaker 1: no doubt. I like that if that becomes official him

218
00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:48,559
Speaker 1: coming back, and there was there's been some talk about

219
00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:50,880
Speaker 1: cap casualties and as Darren Fell is going to be

220
00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:54,800
Speaker 1: a cap casualty, I don't know at this point if

221
00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:58,040
Speaker 1: I want to happen. I don't love this tight end class,

222
00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:01,480
Speaker 1: to be honest with you, Mark, So I'm not a

223
00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:03,679
Speaker 1: big fan of it. I do think there are some

224
00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:07,839
Speaker 1: guys in the mix that you could get in later

225
00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:10,800
Speaker 1: rounds that can make some plays. We talked about a

226
00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:12,680
Speaker 1: few the other day, John Bates from Boise State. But

227
00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:14,680
Speaker 1: I just I'm not in love with tight end class.

228
00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:17,600
Speaker 1: But if Kylie Waring and Pharaoh Brown and Baron Fells,

229
00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:19,520
Speaker 1: your three tight ends, and then you bring it a

230
00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:21,439
Speaker 1: couple of rookies that come learn behind them and give

231
00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:23,880
Speaker 1: you depth there in training camp. I could be I

232
00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:26,880
Speaker 1: could be fine with that. What I'm not fine with

233
00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:34,800
Speaker 1: yet is what's at corner corner Armstrong, Keon Crossing, Bradley Roby,

234
00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:38,599
Speaker 1: Vernon Hargraves. Although Hargraves I feel is more inside guy

235
00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:41,640
Speaker 1: John Reids more and inside guys I look at it

236
00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:43,960
Speaker 1: and that's it. Now. I don't have a problem with

237
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:47,160
Speaker 1: those guys in particular, but it's just not having enough

238
00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:51,160
Speaker 1: bodies really at that corner position. We've got to get

239
00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:55,839
Speaker 1: bodies at that corner position. But one that the Texans

240
00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:58,960
Speaker 1: did apparently sign and will wait for it to be official.

241
00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:05,040
Speaker 1: Terrence Mitchell. Now, Mark, I don't know why I've listened

242
00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:08,400
Speaker 1: all day long to radio, to TV all day long,

243
00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:12,480
Speaker 1: not one person has mentioned the fact that Terrence Mitchell's

244
00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:16,120
Speaker 1: been here before. He was here in twenty sixteen, and

245
00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:18,959
Speaker 1: he shouldn't stayed here in twenty sixteen, but he didn't.

246
00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:21,559
Speaker 1: And now he comes back after starting at various points

247
00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:24,120
Speaker 1: for the Browns, for the Chiefs. Her thoughts about Terrence

248
00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:27,720
Speaker 1: Mitchell coming back and potentially starting for this team at corner.

249
00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:30,880
Speaker 1: Well you said it, you know, And as he started

250
00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:32,439
Speaker 1: to say all those names, I was like, well, where's

251
00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:34,520
Speaker 1: Terrence Mitchell? Where's Terrence Mitchell? And there he is. You're

252
00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:39,679
Speaker 1: setting that up and it's another player could help. Look,

253
00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:43,000
Speaker 1: I wondered about Robie just being honest here is he

254
00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:45,120
Speaker 1: gonna be around here? Is he not gonna be around here?

255
00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:48,520
Speaker 1: He has got a ton of ability. We all know that,

256
00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:51,960
Speaker 1: and you pair him up with Mitchell. I do like

257
00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:55,920
Speaker 1: Hargraves going back to Nichols, spending more time there where

258
00:13:55,920 --> 00:13:59,120
Speaker 1: he belongs. I still don't think they're done. I think

259
00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:02,679
Speaker 1: this is a position group where Look, we talk about it.

260
00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:05,480
Speaker 1: When you get to your final fifty three, very often

261
00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:09,360
Speaker 1: you've had six corners for safeties something like that, something

262
00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:12,360
Speaker 1: in that range, and obviously everybody who's not a starter

263
00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:16,400
Speaker 1: has to play special teams. In training camp, you could

264
00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:19,440
Speaker 1: have as many as ten twelve corners. I don't know

265
00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:21,360
Speaker 1: how many they're gonna have, but they're gonna have a

266
00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:24,160
Speaker 1: lot of bodies in here, because not only the guys

267
00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:27,520
Speaker 1: we just mentioned, but they want to find a find

268
00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:29,280
Speaker 1: They want to find a diamond in the rough. They

269
00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:30,680
Speaker 1: want to be able to get at least one of

270
00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:33,160
Speaker 1: those guys that we weren't even thinking about this and

271
00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:37,040
Speaker 1: a player emerges, either a draft choice or whatever, and

272
00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:39,440
Speaker 1: it happens. You know, I was gonna say it happens

273
00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:41,080
Speaker 1: all the time. It doesn't happen all the time, but

274
00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:43,640
Speaker 1: it does happen, and you want to be able to

275
00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:47,640
Speaker 1: take advantage of that. So Cassario, Part one is all

276
00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:50,200
Speaker 1: this player acquisition stuff during free agency and some of

277
00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:54,760
Speaker 1: the trades and everything like that. Part two is actually

278
00:14:54,760 --> 00:14:57,400
Speaker 1: actually Part one is really evaluating the team. But Part

279
00:14:57,440 --> 00:15:00,360
Speaker 1: two in this case will be the draft and how

280
00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:03,600
Speaker 1: he goes about this and how he deals with these

281
00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:05,560
Speaker 1: eight picks, and you know, he's gonna want to move

282
00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:07,040
Speaker 1: up and down the board a little bit, and I'm

283
00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:09,280
Speaker 1: eager to see how he puts some of those smaller

284
00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:13,080
Speaker 1: deals together, because to us they're all interesting. I know, again,

285
00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:14,760
Speaker 1: they're not gonna be like, oh my gosh, look at

286
00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:18,440
Speaker 1: Nick as Sarrio traded you know, a fifth and whatever

287
00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:20,800
Speaker 1: to move up into the fourth round and grab whoever.

288
00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:23,240
Speaker 1: That's not going to be you know, major headline stuff.

289
00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:24,800
Speaker 1: But to us it could be a big deal and

290
00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:28,080
Speaker 1: could turn into a player that helps his team. Coming

291
00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:31,440
Speaker 1: up next, Mark Van Rno chance to sit down with

338
00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:39,960
Speaker 1: all week. Is Mark is out and about during spring break?

339
00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:42,640
Speaker 1: I think a spring break. My clock is all off,

340
00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:45,520
Speaker 1: my kids out of school. It's just throwing me completely off.

341
00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:48,040
Speaker 1: But either way, I've been here all week. But Mark's

342
00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:50,439
Speaker 1: gonna stick with us for this next piece because he

343
00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:53,040
Speaker 1: had a chance to catch up with David Culley with

344
00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:55,800
Speaker 1: a number of season ticket members, and they talked a

345
00:18:55,960 --> 00:18:59,160
Speaker 1: lot about things going on, but in particular talking about

346
00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:03,720
Speaker 1: certain members of the coaching staff. But Mark first wanted

347
00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:06,800
Speaker 1: to know how coach was doing, how he was handling everything.

348
00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:09,840
Speaker 1: First three months in office, if you will, coach, how's

349
00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:12,080
Speaker 1: it going? Good to see you go and find Mark.

350
00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:14,560
Speaker 1: Good to see you also, Good to see that smile

351
00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:17,520
Speaker 1: on your face that makes me feel really good. Well,

352
00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:19,360
Speaker 1: you're the one with the smile, all right, and you're

353
00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:22,320
Speaker 1: the one with the infectious energy. It's felt all around

354
00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:24,560
Speaker 1: the building. I wanted to ask you how's it been

355
00:19:24,600 --> 00:19:27,440
Speaker 1: so far? Because I know when we first chatted, when

356
00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:29,639
Speaker 1: you first got here, you're just getting your toes in

357
00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:32,720
Speaker 1: the water of Houston and the building, the organization. How's

358
00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:35,200
Speaker 1: it been these first few weeks for you? Man? You

359
00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:37,200
Speaker 1: saw me then have my toes in the ground. I'm

360
00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:40,040
Speaker 1: sprinting right now. I'm in a full sprint right now.

361
00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:42,760
Speaker 1: It has been really good. You know. We've been going

362
00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:45,280
Speaker 1: through since then since we talked. You know, we've gone

363
00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:49,840
Speaker 1: through putting together a coaching staff. We've gone through we've

364
00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:53,120
Speaker 1: gone through free agency. Right now, we're going through meetings

365
00:19:53,119 --> 00:19:56,959
Speaker 1: with our coaching staff on Zoom meetings, doing self scout

366
00:19:56,960 --> 00:20:00,199
Speaker 1: with football in the mornings with our coaching staff, and

367
00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:03,679
Speaker 1: then doing evaluations in the afternoon with our coaching staff.

368
00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:06,040
Speaker 1: So it's been a full day and it's been we've

369
00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:09,080
Speaker 1: been ripping and roaring. Well, we're looking forward to seeing

370
00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:11,360
Speaker 1: you working on the field, coach, and soon enough we'll

371
00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:13,480
Speaker 1: be able to get a glimpse of that, we hope.

372
00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:16,240
Speaker 1: And it's funny because I caught up with Jonathan Grenard

373
00:20:16,359 --> 00:20:18,120
Speaker 1: this week. He said he had a chance to meet

374
00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:20,199
Speaker 1: you and some of the other players, or imagine not

375
00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:22,200
Speaker 1: all the players, because not all of them are here

376
00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:24,560
Speaker 1: working out or doing whatever. But what's it been like

377
00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:27,320
Speaker 1: to interact with some of these guys anyway as you've

378
00:20:27,320 --> 00:20:29,720
Speaker 1: got to know them a little bit. Hey, it's been

379
00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:32,320
Speaker 1: very exciting. It's been very excited, Mark, I mean, I'm

380
00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:35,400
Speaker 1: talking about they're so excited about moving forward right now,

381
00:20:35,680 --> 00:20:39,280
Speaker 1: and they're so excited not only because I'm excited, but

382
00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:42,600
Speaker 1: simply because a new year is a new year everything

383
00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:46,160
Speaker 1: you always start. And all thirty two teams in this

384
00:20:46,240 --> 00:20:49,080
Speaker 1: league right now feel like they have as good a

385
00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:51,840
Speaker 1: chance as anybody to be a Super Bowl champion. You

386
00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:54,239
Speaker 1: all feel that a way now. There are things that

387
00:20:54,280 --> 00:20:55,959
Speaker 1: you have to go into and things got to do

388
00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:58,040
Speaker 1: to get you to that point. And then as a

389
00:20:58,080 --> 00:21:01,320
Speaker 1: new staff here right now, we're no different than all

390
00:21:01,359 --> 00:21:03,520
Speaker 1: the other teams that are going through the same things

391
00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:05,439
Speaker 1: that we're going through right now during this time and

392
00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:07,480
Speaker 1: there in the all season. It's just that we're new

393
00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:10,520
Speaker 1: and we've been a little bit behind simply because we

394
00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:14,600
Speaker 1: had all had our staff all year. We've actually just

395
00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:16,920
Speaker 1: gone through all the things now that everybody else does

396
00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:19,800
Speaker 1: during this time of year, and it's been great. And

397
00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:22,560
Speaker 1: meeting those players in the weight room, I told somebody

398
00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:25,359
Speaker 1: earlier today, I've actually gone down there a couple of times,

399
00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:27,840
Speaker 1: but I try to get down there early before they

400
00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:30,520
Speaker 1: get in there because my weight room workout and their

401
00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:33,960
Speaker 1: weight room workout is completely different. So I don't want

402
00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:36,359
Speaker 1: them to understand that I'm an example of what it

403
00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:38,520
Speaker 1: should be like. I go down to watch them, they say,

404
00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:40,520
Speaker 1: this is what I'm trying to get like. But it

405
00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:43,560
Speaker 1: has been really good. Coach, you're in there and that's

406
00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:46,600
Speaker 1: the main thing. Okay, you're an inspiration to assault. All right, Well,

407
00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:48,280
Speaker 1: let's talk about your staff a little bit, and I

408
00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:49,920
Speaker 1: want to start on the defensive side of the ball,

409
00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:53,879
Speaker 1: because Lovey Smith is the coordinator, former head coach, a

410
00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:57,040
Speaker 1: couple of FC Championship Game appearance as a Super Bowl

411
00:21:57,080 --> 00:22:00,240
Speaker 1: appearance for him. He's from Texas. Tell us about Lovey,

412
00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:02,679
Speaker 1: how do you feel about this selection? I couldn't be

413
00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:05,879
Speaker 1: more excited to have Lovey. And he's actually during my

414
00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:08,600
Speaker 1: coaching career, he's kind of been a mentor of me

415
00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:11,920
Speaker 1: when I first came into this league of bouncing things

416
00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:15,800
Speaker 1: off of Obviously, his record speaks for itself as an

417
00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:19,320
Speaker 1: assistant coach, as a defensive coordinator, and as a head coach.

418
00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:23,159
Speaker 1: And I feel so lucky and so fortunate to be

419
00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:25,639
Speaker 1: able to have him on my staff with his experience.

420
00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:28,119
Speaker 1: And again, the other thing about about Lovey, and you

421
00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:31,119
Speaker 1: just mentioned this Mark, he's a Texan. I'm talking about it,

422
00:22:31,119 --> 00:22:34,560
Speaker 1: and he is so excited to be back here. And understand,

423
00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:35,960
Speaker 1: one of the things that I talked to him about

424
00:22:36,040 --> 00:22:37,760
Speaker 1: was he just says, David, I just remember and I

425
00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:42,480
Speaker 1: know how passionate these people are around here about football.

426
00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:44,919
Speaker 1: And he is so excited to be here and to

427
00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:47,000
Speaker 1: help us get the word we need to go. And

428
00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:49,760
Speaker 1: I couldn't be more excited to have him. We've seen

429
00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:52,199
Speaker 1: a multiple sort of defense here in recent years, but

430
00:22:52,280 --> 00:22:54,440
Speaker 1: mostly sort of a three four in base and that's

431
00:22:54,440 --> 00:22:56,119
Speaker 1: how it's listed in the media. Guy, and I know,

432
00:22:56,200 --> 00:22:58,399
Speaker 1: as the game has played, you have all these sub packages.

433
00:22:58,440 --> 00:23:01,040
Speaker 1: But what are you expecting from love Which are the

434
00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:03,879
Speaker 1: fans expect? Maybe style wise? Will it be a mixed

435
00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:06,040
Speaker 1: bag of things? Are you not ready to show your

436
00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:08,240
Speaker 1: hand just yet? What can you tell? Well now yet?

437
00:23:08,440 --> 00:23:10,560
Speaker 1: You know we'll set out as a defensive staff. They

438
00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:12,560
Speaker 1: will and discuss where we want to go. But I

439
00:23:12,560 --> 00:23:15,760
Speaker 1: will say this about what love he believes in. Just

440
00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:18,359
Speaker 1: like on offense, we believe in you don't turn the

441
00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:20,440
Speaker 1: ball over, you have a chance to win a game,

442
00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:24,080
Speaker 1: Lovey believes in you have to get turnovers to win

443
00:23:24,119 --> 00:23:27,399
Speaker 1: football games. And he's going to have a defense and

444
00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:30,359
Speaker 1: it's gonna gear it to be able to create turnovers,

445
00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:34,240
Speaker 1: to get turnovers. Just like on offense you score. On defense,

446
00:23:34,359 --> 00:23:37,520
Speaker 1: you score by getting turnovers. And that's been a makeup

447
00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:40,840
Speaker 1: of his throughout his entire career. That's been a makeup

448
00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:43,359
Speaker 1: of his defenses that he's had, has been a makeup

449
00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:45,440
Speaker 1: of the defensive he's has since he's been a head coach.

450
00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:48,560
Speaker 1: And that's the one thing that I'm excited about with

451
00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:52,400
Speaker 1: the philosophically about what love he believes in and where

452
00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:55,400
Speaker 1: we're gonna go with that belief. So, coach, you kept

453
00:23:55,440 --> 00:23:58,920
Speaker 1: Tim Kelly as offensive coordinator and tell us what you

454
00:23:59,040 --> 00:24:02,879
Speaker 1: like about Tim and he brings to the table moving forward. Well,

455
00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:06,320
Speaker 1: I've heard nothing but before I came here, And I'll

456
00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:08,919
Speaker 1: say this, I've played against the Texans a couple of

457
00:24:08,920 --> 00:24:12,879
Speaker 1: times and Tim's been the coordinator and been called into plays.

458
00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:16,160
Speaker 1: And I can tell you this, the defensive guys always

459
00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:19,080
Speaker 1: felt like he always kept you on your heels. Uh,

460
00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:21,560
Speaker 1: he's been You've seen what he did last year as

461
00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:24,600
Speaker 1: far as with the offense of keeping doing things, being

462
00:24:24,680 --> 00:24:28,280
Speaker 1: versatile and and having an offense that that will do

463
00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:30,399
Speaker 1: whatever is necessary to be able to put points on

464
00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:33,119
Speaker 1: the board. And and and that's the thing about Tim.

465
00:24:33,280 --> 00:24:35,359
Speaker 1: And the other thing I'll say about Tim is this

466
00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:38,520
Speaker 1: is that he is a flat out ball coaching Jesse now.

467
00:24:38,920 --> 00:24:43,000
Speaker 1: And I say that from a standpoint of he loves it. Uh,

468
00:24:43,040 --> 00:24:45,560
Speaker 1: you feel it from him, just like he feels from

469
00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:47,879
Speaker 1: me the excitement of me being here to be a Texan.

470
00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:50,520
Speaker 1: He feels I feel the same way about him when

471
00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:53,679
Speaker 1: he starts talking about offensive football, and we're aligned from

472
00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:56,359
Speaker 1: the standpoint of being that he knows what it takes

473
00:24:56,400 --> 00:24:59,840
Speaker 1: to be successful and he's been successful, and I'm excited

474
00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:03,240
Speaker 1: about having him and his staff to be able to

475
00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:05,040
Speaker 1: do the things that we need to do to move forward.

476
00:25:05,840 --> 00:25:07,399
Speaker 1: All right, we don't have time to go over all

477
00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:11,040
Speaker 1: the guys, of course, but Pep Hamilton intrigues me. Quarterbacks coach,

478
00:25:11,359 --> 00:25:14,040
Speaker 1: passing game coordinator. You know all about that, you were

479
00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:18,520
Speaker 1: once that. But tell us about Pep Hamilton. His experience.

480
00:25:18,840 --> 00:25:20,800
Speaker 1: He has a lot of it. So he's a valuable

481
00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:23,280
Speaker 1: addition to this staff. Well again, I'm gonna go back

482
00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:28,280
Speaker 1: to having lovey uh. You know again, that's not something

483
00:25:28,359 --> 00:25:31,720
Speaker 1: you teach. That's something that you have learned. That's something

484
00:25:31,760 --> 00:25:34,840
Speaker 1: from experience. He's been there and done that. He's coached

485
00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:37,040
Speaker 1: some of the best quarterbacks in this league. He just

486
00:25:37,359 --> 00:25:39,640
Speaker 1: had the Rookie of the Year at quarterback this year

487
00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:43,680
Speaker 1: at the Chargers. Did a wonderful job with him. He's

488
00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:46,119
Speaker 1: been a coordinator before in this league. He's been a

489
00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:51,480
Speaker 1: coordinator in college. He's you know, his experience and his teaching.

490
00:25:51,960 --> 00:25:56,439
Speaker 1: You know, he understands what successful quarterbacking is all about.

491
00:25:56,800 --> 00:25:58,879
Speaker 1: And if you look back through the history of the

492
00:25:58,960 --> 00:26:02,560
Speaker 1: quarterbacks he's had, they've been winning quarterbacks. And that's the

493
00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:04,960
Speaker 1: one thing that we wanted to make sure that when

494
00:26:04,960 --> 00:26:07,320
Speaker 1: we hired that position, that we got a guy that

495
00:26:07,480 --> 00:26:10,720
Speaker 1: understood that the most important thing at that position is

496
00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:13,040
Speaker 1: put that quarterback being the guy that puts us in

497
00:26:13,080 --> 00:26:16,000
Speaker 1: position weekend and week out to win football games. And

498
00:26:16,119 --> 00:26:18,720
Speaker 1: his history has said he's done that and we're looking

499
00:26:18,720 --> 00:26:21,359
Speaker 1: forward to him doing that same thing here. Great to

500
00:26:21,359 --> 00:26:24,840
Speaker 1: see Romeo Coronel still having a role with the coaching staff.

501
00:26:25,280 --> 00:26:27,520
Speaker 1: And I know that you've known him and known about

502
00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:29,920
Speaker 1: him for a long time as well. So what about

503
00:26:30,040 --> 00:26:33,280
Speaker 1: Romeo moving forward coaching? Well, listen, I've talked to Romeo

504
00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:36,800
Speaker 1: probably for the last two days in a row. And listen,

505
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:40,200
Speaker 1: I go way back with Romeo. Romeo recruited me out

506
00:26:40,200 --> 00:26:42,840
Speaker 1: of high school. That's how far I go back with Romeo.

507
00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:47,280
Speaker 1: And again, Romeo is the same person today that he

508
00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:49,760
Speaker 1: was when he was recruiting me as a high school

509
00:26:49,760 --> 00:26:51,880
Speaker 1: senior out of high school. And again once I got

510
00:26:51,920 --> 00:26:54,640
Speaker 1: into this league, Romeo was another one of those guys

511
00:26:54,680 --> 00:26:57,840
Speaker 1: that has been kind of a mentor. You got to

512
00:26:57,840 --> 00:27:00,520
Speaker 1: look at Romeo's history. I mean, this guy has been

513
00:27:00,560 --> 00:27:03,280
Speaker 1: a part of multi, multi, multi Super Bowl winning football

514
00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:07,800
Speaker 1: teams two different places. He's been a head coach twice.

515
00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:12,199
Speaker 1: His experience is unbelievable having he and Lovey here for

516
00:27:12,359 --> 00:27:15,399
Speaker 1: me being a first time head coach, being able to

517
00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:17,920
Speaker 1: bounce things off of because they've been there and done

518
00:27:17,920 --> 00:27:21,280
Speaker 1: that just gives me so much more confidence and being

519
00:27:21,320 --> 00:27:23,840
Speaker 1: able to move forward and do the things that we

520
00:27:23,880 --> 00:27:26,720
Speaker 1: need to do to be successful. What is it like

521
00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:30,120
Speaker 1: being a coach this time of year because you're evaluating

522
00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:33,119
Speaker 1: this roster and I know Nick as serials working so

523
00:27:33,160 --> 00:27:35,960
Speaker 1: hard on that stuff. But you guys are all working together,

524
00:27:36,040 --> 00:27:38,800
Speaker 1: you're collaborating. So what is that whole process like? What

525
00:27:38,880 --> 00:27:41,320
Speaker 1: can you tell us? Well, Nick and his staff has

526
00:27:41,359 --> 00:27:44,920
Speaker 1: done a tremendous job. I mean they have looked at

527
00:27:44,920 --> 00:27:48,000
Speaker 1: our roster. We've gone through our roster inside and outside.

528
00:27:48,119 --> 00:27:52,080
Speaker 1: He's doing a tremendous job of being able to assemble

529
00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:55,080
Speaker 1: the kinds of players that we need to be able

530
00:27:55,119 --> 00:27:58,640
Speaker 1: to replace and bring here because of the players through

531
00:27:58,680 --> 00:28:01,240
Speaker 1: free agency that leave and the players that come and go,

532
00:28:01,680 --> 00:28:04,719
Speaker 1: and the process has been just great. We feel like

533
00:28:04,720 --> 00:28:07,200
Speaker 1: we're right on schedule where we are right now and

534
00:28:07,320 --> 00:28:10,760
Speaker 1: going through that process. It's an everyday process. Mark it

535
00:28:10,880 --> 00:28:14,000
Speaker 1: changes every day. I mean people come on the market,

536
00:28:14,040 --> 00:28:16,960
Speaker 1: people go off the market, and then thinks But Nick,

537
00:28:17,240 --> 00:28:19,840
Speaker 1: his years of experience and the things that he has

538
00:28:19,880 --> 00:28:22,399
Speaker 1: done through his past. We are right on track to

539
00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:24,359
Speaker 1: where we need to be right now as far as

540
00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:27,640
Speaker 1: that goes well coach, being a new head coach, you're

541
00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:30,240
Speaker 1: supposed to get extra time with your team to get

542
00:28:30,280 --> 00:28:32,960
Speaker 1: ready for the twenty twenty one campaign, and I guess

543
00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:36,800
Speaker 1: the offseason still sort of coming into shape schedule wise. Well,

544
00:28:36,840 --> 00:28:39,440
Speaker 1: what about you getting together with the staff and starting

545
00:28:39,440 --> 00:28:42,560
Speaker 1: that process of organizing how you're going to practice when

546
00:28:42,560 --> 00:28:45,880
Speaker 1: you can eventually practice. What can you share with us there? Well,

547
00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:48,440
Speaker 1: we're still waiting on the league to tell us exactly

548
00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:50,520
Speaker 1: what the off season is going to be about right now,

549
00:28:50,960 --> 00:28:53,560
Speaker 1: but if it's anything like it was last year with

550
00:28:53,600 --> 00:28:57,320
Speaker 1: the Zoom meetings and whatnot, you know, teams went through

551
00:28:57,360 --> 00:28:59,040
Speaker 1: that last year that were that were new, that were

552
00:28:59,040 --> 00:29:02,840
Speaker 1: new coaches here, and as coaches mark we adjust. I mean,

553
00:29:02,880 --> 00:29:05,760
Speaker 1: whatever they give us and whatever criteria they give us

554
00:29:05,760 --> 00:29:08,080
Speaker 1: to be able to use as far as as going

555
00:29:08,160 --> 00:29:10,480
Speaker 1: through the all season, we'll figure out a way to

556
00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:12,360
Speaker 1: be able to do that. And once we get the

557
00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:15,600
Speaker 1: schedule and once they tell us exactly what the parameters are,

558
00:29:15,840 --> 00:29:18,000
Speaker 1: we got a plan to be able to do that,

559
00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:22,160
Speaker 1: just like last year, that plan came to us two

560
00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:23,920
Speaker 1: or three days before. We had to figure out what

561
00:29:23,960 --> 00:29:26,000
Speaker 1: everybody was getting ready to do. And as you can

562
00:29:26,040 --> 00:29:30,320
Speaker 1: see across the league, everybody adjusted and everybody, everybody was

563
00:29:30,360 --> 00:29:32,400
Speaker 1: in a situation where you figured out what was best

564
00:29:32,400 --> 00:29:33,920
Speaker 1: for you to be able to do that. And we

565
00:29:34,040 --> 00:29:36,600
Speaker 1: have a plan for either way, whether we get to

566
00:29:36,600 --> 00:29:38,120
Speaker 1: go on the field or whether we don't get to

567
00:29:38,160 --> 00:29:39,560
Speaker 1: go on the field, we got a plan for that.

568
00:29:39,760 --> 00:29:42,640
Speaker 1: Speaking of my staff, we actually have our entire staff

569
00:29:43,040 --> 00:29:45,280
Speaker 1: here in the building here with the Texas. We've been

570
00:29:45,400 --> 00:29:49,160
Speaker 1: Zoom meeting throughout this time. Guys have been all over

571
00:29:49,200 --> 00:29:52,320
Speaker 1: the country, and I'm so excited to get them all

572
00:29:52,440 --> 00:29:54,760
Speaker 1: in for the first time. And then once they walk

573
00:29:54,800 --> 00:29:57,479
Speaker 1: in this building and they feel what's happening in this

574
00:29:57,520 --> 00:30:00,920
Speaker 1: building right now, I can't be We're excited to be

575
00:30:00,920 --> 00:30:02,560
Speaker 1: able to sit down and get with all of them.

576
00:30:02,560 --> 00:30:04,360
Speaker 1: We've been talking with Zoom just like you and I

577
00:30:04,400 --> 00:30:06,920
Speaker 1: are right now, and I know it's good to be

578
00:30:06,960 --> 00:30:09,120
Speaker 1: able to do what we're doing right now. But Mark,

579
00:30:09,320 --> 00:30:11,640
Speaker 1: when I see you face to face, it is completely

580
00:30:11,640 --> 00:30:14,040
Speaker 1: different than with Zooming right now, and I can't wait

581
00:30:14,080 --> 00:30:16,320
Speaker 1: to do that with our staff. You know what about

582
00:30:16,360 --> 00:30:18,600
Speaker 1: other members of the organization that you've been able to meet,

583
00:30:18,600 --> 00:30:20,920
Speaker 1: because yeah, not everybody is in the building. I'm in

584
00:30:20,920 --> 00:30:23,680
Speaker 1: the building right now, but it's kind of difficult. It's

585
00:30:23,720 --> 00:30:27,160
Speaker 1: a it's a unique dynamic, and especially for you being new,

586
00:30:27,800 --> 00:30:29,680
Speaker 1: it is, Mark. But I tell you what I've been doing.

587
00:30:29,880 --> 00:30:32,360
Speaker 1: I've been walking all over this building. I've been going

588
00:30:32,520 --> 00:30:34,920
Speaker 1: inside and out. I've been lost a couple of times

589
00:30:35,040 --> 00:30:37,480
Speaker 1: and met people that worked here that I didn't even

590
00:30:37,520 --> 00:30:39,440
Speaker 1: know this was where they were supposed to be. But

591
00:30:39,720 --> 00:30:42,000
Speaker 1: the point is is I've made a point of being

592
00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:45,960
Speaker 1: able to do that because everybody in this building, Mark

593
00:30:46,520 --> 00:30:50,200
Speaker 1: is important. Everybody has a job, and that job is

594
00:30:50,280 --> 00:30:53,000
Speaker 1: just as important whatever it is. As a job I do,

595
00:30:53,040 --> 00:30:55,960
Speaker 1: as coaching this football team, as our players do, as playing,

596
00:30:56,360 --> 00:31:00,120
Speaker 1: as as Nick and everybody in this building does. All

597
00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:02,280
Speaker 1: of is important. And again, I just want to make

598
00:31:02,320 --> 00:31:04,040
Speaker 1: sure I get around and lift and understand it. Oh,

599
00:31:04,040 --> 00:31:06,800
Speaker 1: I appreciate that, and understand that, Hey, look we're all

600
00:31:06,840 --> 00:31:09,800
Speaker 1: going in this one direction. We appreciate you. You're all important,

601
00:31:10,040 --> 00:31:13,720
Speaker 1: and that this attitude that you're seeing not just from me,

602
00:31:14,080 --> 00:31:16,440
Speaker 1: I'm seeing it all around this building, right now, Mark,

603
00:31:16,760 --> 00:31:19,880
Speaker 1: and and and again, that's exactly what we want and

604
00:31:19,960 --> 00:31:24,080
Speaker 1: I'm excited about that. Well, you have all this experience, obviously,

605
00:31:24,320 --> 00:31:27,440
Speaker 1: and we're just talking about the uncertainty of the offseason

606
00:31:27,520 --> 00:31:29,400
Speaker 1: so far. We hope everything gets back to normal, but

607
00:31:29,440 --> 00:31:32,120
Speaker 1: there's no guarantee. Didn't you go through that process with

608
00:31:32,160 --> 00:31:34,920
Speaker 1: the Ravens last year? With that was it a Wednesday game?

609
00:31:34,960 --> 00:31:38,680
Speaker 1: You guys played after all that they actually at that

610
00:31:38,800 --> 00:31:41,440
Speaker 1: time were actually supposed to play on a Sunday. Then

611
00:31:41,440 --> 00:31:44,600
Speaker 1: it became a Monday, and then it became a Tuesday,

612
00:31:44,680 --> 00:31:49,040
Speaker 1: and finally we played on a Wednesday. But again we adjusted,

613
00:31:49,160 --> 00:31:52,080
Speaker 1: I mean, Mark, as coaches in this business, I mean

614
00:31:52,120 --> 00:31:54,400
Speaker 1: you adjust. I mean all of a sudden, we're coming in,

615
00:31:54,440 --> 00:31:57,880
Speaker 1: we're expecting to play on Sunday. We're actually expected we're

616
00:31:57,880 --> 00:32:01,080
Speaker 1: going to travel, and we actually didn't try. And then

617
00:32:01,120 --> 00:32:03,000
Speaker 1: all of a sudden the travel got changed three times.

618
00:32:03,120 --> 00:32:06,080
Speaker 1: But when we got to the game and once everything

619
00:32:06,360 --> 00:32:08,400
Speaker 1: was on it there and those guys went on the field,

620
00:32:08,480 --> 00:32:11,400
Speaker 1: it was like nothing had ever happened, simply because you

621
00:32:11,480 --> 00:32:14,120
Speaker 1: have to make adjustments. You have to adjust, just like

622
00:32:14,280 --> 00:32:16,560
Speaker 1: from year to year with your football team, it changes

623
00:32:16,920 --> 00:32:20,959
Speaker 1: and everything changes and we change with it and usually

624
00:32:20,960 --> 00:32:24,480
Speaker 1: for the positive. And that's how during this pandemic with

625
00:32:24,520 --> 00:32:27,120
Speaker 1: the COVID. I mean, hey, you just tell us what

626
00:32:27,160 --> 00:32:28,959
Speaker 1: we need to do, how we need to do it,

627
00:32:29,040 --> 00:32:31,440
Speaker 1: and then we're going do tell us what our parameters are,

628
00:32:31,560 --> 00:32:33,200
Speaker 1: and then we'll figure out way to get it done,

629
00:32:33,280 --> 00:32:35,040
Speaker 1: and we're gonna make it work and we're gonna be

630
00:32:35,080 --> 00:32:37,200
Speaker 1: successful doing whatever it is you allow us to do.

631
00:32:37,520 --> 00:32:39,920
Speaker 1: And that's what we're doing right now. I don't want

632
00:32:39,920 --> 00:32:41,760
Speaker 1: to go too far back in the past, but I

633
00:32:42,040 --> 00:32:43,960
Speaker 1: have to ask you this because as a head coach

634
00:32:44,040 --> 00:32:45,760
Speaker 1: for a few weeks, now a month and a half,

635
00:32:45,800 --> 00:32:47,960
Speaker 1: however long it's been, and you've worked with so many

636
00:32:47,960 --> 00:32:50,760
Speaker 1: great ones, I got to imagine that sometimes you hear

637
00:32:50,840 --> 00:32:54,360
Speaker 1: Bill Cower's voice or Sam Wish or Andy Reid or

638
00:32:54,480 --> 00:32:57,520
Speaker 1: John Harville in different situations as they come up. And

639
00:32:57,560 --> 00:32:59,480
Speaker 1: I know new ones are gonna come up every day,

640
00:32:59,520 --> 00:33:01,880
Speaker 1: But can you reflect on that a little bit for us?

641
00:33:02,600 --> 00:33:04,920
Speaker 1: You couldn't have said that much better. There are certain

642
00:33:04,960 --> 00:33:07,720
Speaker 1: things that happened that happened to me. Not now is

643
00:33:07,760 --> 00:33:09,920
Speaker 1: a head coach that is coming for my desk that

644
00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:13,680
Speaker 1: I can remember Andy having this, me having a conversation

645
00:33:13,680 --> 00:33:16,400
Speaker 1: with Andy about what if this happens. Well, I can

646
00:33:16,520 --> 00:33:20,040
Speaker 1: remember it happening with him and me being around him

647
00:33:20,040 --> 00:33:22,440
Speaker 1: when those things happened. I can remember way back. I

648
00:33:22,520 --> 00:33:24,680
Speaker 1: go back to Sam Whites, who was the first head

649
00:33:24,720 --> 00:33:27,240
Speaker 1: coach I worked for in this business with Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

650
00:33:27,560 --> 00:33:32,200
Speaker 1: I can remember Sam telling me about let's just remember now, David,

651
00:33:32,400 --> 00:33:35,200
Speaker 1: this is the NFL. All we do here is football.

652
00:33:35,400 --> 00:33:38,200
Speaker 1: You don't recruit, you don't have to. Hey, we draft him.

653
00:33:38,560 --> 00:33:40,960
Speaker 1: But I can remember him always saying, this is a

654
00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:44,240
Speaker 1: twelve month deal. He says it never stops. I can

655
00:33:44,320 --> 00:33:47,680
Speaker 1: go back to to UH just this past year with

656
00:33:47,760 --> 00:33:50,280
Speaker 1: John Harbaugh, who I worked with as an assistant coach

657
00:33:50,280 --> 00:33:53,520
Speaker 1: in Philadelphia, just some some things that that that they

658
00:33:53,560 --> 00:33:56,240
Speaker 1: have done with their football team. And I go with

659
00:33:56,240 --> 00:33:59,000
Speaker 1: with with Sean McDermott, and I go back to Bill Coward.

660
00:33:59,320 --> 00:34:01,320
Speaker 1: You know, back back when I was in Pittsburgh with

661
00:34:01,360 --> 00:34:05,680
Speaker 1: Bill Kyra, all those guys to me had something that

662
00:34:05,720 --> 00:34:07,640
Speaker 1: I that I want to make sure I bring here,

663
00:34:07,800 --> 00:34:10,120
Speaker 1: and that was they had a consistency mark with the

664
00:34:10,160 --> 00:34:13,160
Speaker 1: way they went about doing things. And every day when

665
00:34:13,200 --> 00:34:15,960
Speaker 1: you came into work, every day, when you went out

666
00:34:15,960 --> 00:34:18,560
Speaker 1: onto the football field, you knew what you were getting

667
00:34:18,640 --> 00:34:20,920
Speaker 1: every day. And that's the one thing that all of

668
00:34:20,920 --> 00:34:23,239
Speaker 1: those guys I felt like that I've carried with me

669
00:34:23,320 --> 00:34:25,319
Speaker 1: that I feel like it's very important. What can you

670
00:34:25,360 --> 00:34:27,839
Speaker 1: tell us with some exces and os about the way

671
00:34:27,840 --> 00:34:30,640
Speaker 1: the offense might look. Well, I can tell you what.

672
00:34:30,719 --> 00:34:33,560
Speaker 1: We're going to score as many points as we can score,

673
00:34:33,760 --> 00:34:37,120
Speaker 1: and the and the big things is we're gonna always

674
00:34:37,560 --> 00:34:40,560
Speaker 1: always try to score one more at least than the

675
00:34:40,600 --> 00:34:43,279
Speaker 1: other team. And that being the case. Now that may

676
00:34:43,320 --> 00:34:45,799
Speaker 1: be three tone that maybe three to two, but that

677
00:34:45,840 --> 00:34:47,880
Speaker 1: means at least we got the field goal. But the

678
00:34:47,920 --> 00:34:50,759
Speaker 1: point is is with Tim, you've seen what Tim has

679
00:34:50,760 --> 00:34:53,439
Speaker 1: done with this offense, We've seen what Pep has done

680
00:34:53,440 --> 00:34:55,520
Speaker 1: with where he's been. We're gonna kind of get all

681
00:34:55,520 --> 00:34:58,480
Speaker 1: our ideals together, we're gonna formulate them, and basically what

682
00:34:58,480 --> 00:35:01,759
Speaker 1: we're gonna do is we're gonna do what our personnel

683
00:35:02,080 --> 00:35:05,279
Speaker 1: dictates us to do, and that's going to be consistent

684
00:35:05,440 --> 00:35:07,200
Speaker 1: with whatever it is we're doing. We're gonna do what

685
00:35:07,239 --> 00:35:09,680
Speaker 1: we gotta do to win the football game in college.

686
00:35:09,800 --> 00:35:12,400
Speaker 1: I think it's interesting because Romeo is here at Texas

687
00:35:12,400 --> 00:35:15,080
Speaker 1: Tech back in the day you were with the Yaggies.

688
00:35:15,080 --> 00:35:17,839
Speaker 1: It was later on then when Romeo right Texas Tech.

689
00:35:17,920 --> 00:35:21,000
Speaker 1: But I love that Texas connection and you got to

690
00:35:21,040 --> 00:35:22,839
Speaker 1: feel special just be the head coach of a pro

691
00:35:22,920 --> 00:35:26,040
Speaker 1: football team in the lone star state without a doubt.

692
00:35:26,120 --> 00:35:28,960
Speaker 1: Let me tell you something I've always heard before I

693
00:35:28,960 --> 00:35:31,080
Speaker 1: came to Texas. I actually it was I first started

694
00:35:31,080 --> 00:35:34,480
Speaker 1: at UTEP was my first experience in Texas, and then

695
00:35:34,600 --> 00:35:36,759
Speaker 1: my next experience was at Texas A and M. And

696
00:35:36,840 --> 00:35:38,399
Speaker 1: let me tell you what I found out about being

697
00:35:38,400 --> 00:35:42,040
Speaker 1: here is football is more than just a game. It's

698
00:35:42,040 --> 00:35:44,200
Speaker 1: a way of life. And when you get to the

699
00:35:44,280 --> 00:35:47,600
Speaker 1: level that I'm at right now, not only is there

700
00:35:47,600 --> 00:35:50,160
Speaker 1: a way of life, I mean that's what you do.

701
00:35:50,360 --> 00:35:54,839
Speaker 1: And the passion around here mark the passion not just

702
00:35:55,000 --> 00:35:57,920
Speaker 1: in this state, but in this city and all around

703
00:35:58,000 --> 00:36:01,840
Speaker 1: with what the Texans mean is unbelievable and and to

704
00:36:01,920 --> 00:36:05,000
Speaker 1: me as a football coach, we couldn't ask for any

705
00:36:05,040 --> 00:36:07,560
Speaker 1: more than that. And we understand that every time we

706
00:36:07,560 --> 00:36:09,959
Speaker 1: step out on the football field, we know that those

707
00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:12,960
Speaker 1: people that are setting in NRG Stadium right now what

708
00:36:13,040 --> 00:36:15,080
Speaker 1: they're looking for, and we know they got our backs.

709
00:36:15,080 --> 00:36:17,600
Speaker 1: One and then we're gonna be able to put a

710
00:36:17,600 --> 00:36:19,600
Speaker 1: product out there that they're gonna be very proud of.

711
00:36:20,719 --> 00:36:23,760
Speaker 1: Have you been able to get out in Houston much, Coach,

712
00:36:23,920 --> 00:36:27,719
Speaker 1: since we last talked since you got the job. Not much.

713
00:36:29,160 --> 00:36:33,920
Speaker 1: But I have gotten even more more recommendations about the

714
00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:37,279
Speaker 1: restaurants that what you had mentioned earlier about I've got them,

715
00:36:38,320 --> 00:36:41,080
Speaker 1: but I've been so busy right now with doing what

716
00:36:41,120 --> 00:36:45,799
Speaker 1: we're doing here. And but what I've heard is this

717
00:36:45,920 --> 00:36:48,000
Speaker 1: is not just a great place for restaurants. This is

718
00:36:48,000 --> 00:36:51,800
Speaker 1: a world class place for food now, and all kinds

719
00:36:51,800 --> 00:36:55,520
Speaker 1: of food. And listen, I am a I wouldn't say

720
00:36:55,520 --> 00:36:58,279
Speaker 1: I'm a connoisseur of food. I would say I love

721
00:36:58,360 --> 00:37:02,920
Speaker 1: food and I love to eat. And that's why every

722
00:37:02,920 --> 00:37:05,160
Speaker 1: morning now I go in that weight room. I don't

723
00:37:05,200 --> 00:37:07,520
Speaker 1: go in there to get my body beautiful. I go

724
00:37:07,560 --> 00:37:09,080
Speaker 1: in there to make sure I can eat what I

725
00:37:09,120 --> 00:37:12,360
Speaker 1: need to eat later on. Okay, So that's my feeling

726
00:37:12,480 --> 00:37:14,680
Speaker 1: on that. So I'm looking forward to it, but I'm

727
00:37:14,680 --> 00:37:16,720
Speaker 1: gonna have to really work hard because of the food

728
00:37:16,719 --> 00:37:18,160
Speaker 1: here for it. I'm what I've been told it is

729
00:37:18,200 --> 00:37:20,920
Speaker 1: so good and I'm not gonna shy away from it now.

730
00:37:21,040 --> 00:37:23,880
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna shy away from it. Oach, How do

731
00:37:23,920 --> 00:37:25,640
Speaker 1: you get your energy? What are you? What are you doing?

732
00:37:25,640 --> 00:37:27,680
Speaker 1: Are you drinking coffee a lot? I mean, what can

733
00:37:27,760 --> 00:37:31,360
Speaker 1: you tell us about that? Mark? I'm telling that energy

734
00:37:31,400 --> 00:37:33,520
Speaker 1: comes from being a part of what I'm doing right now.

735
00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:36,640
Speaker 1: I've had it, but it's going to a different level

736
00:37:36,719 --> 00:37:40,000
Speaker 1: right now. And I also want all those fans out

737
00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:43,560
Speaker 1: there listening right now to understand is that's who I am,

738
00:37:43,920 --> 00:37:46,600
Speaker 1: That's who we are here at the Texans, and that's

739
00:37:46,640 --> 00:37:49,239
Speaker 1: what it's gonna be like because I know that's what

740
00:37:49,280 --> 00:37:52,080
Speaker 1: they want. I know that's who they are, and we're

741
00:37:52,120 --> 00:37:54,600
Speaker 1: gonna mesh together with that. But that hey, I wake

742
00:37:54,680 --> 00:37:56,960
Speaker 1: up every day just being blessed to be able to

743
00:37:56,960 --> 00:37:59,680
Speaker 1: do what I do here. As I said before, this

744
00:37:59,760 --> 00:38:01,640
Speaker 1: is not a job to me, although I do get

745
00:38:01,640 --> 00:38:03,960
Speaker 1: paid at it. This is a passion to be able

746
00:38:04,000 --> 00:38:06,120
Speaker 1: to do what I do here, and at this point

747
00:38:06,120 --> 00:38:08,359
Speaker 1: where I'm at in my career, I couldn't be at

748
00:38:08,360 --> 00:38:11,080
Speaker 1: a better place, with a better franchise and a better

749
00:38:11,120 --> 00:38:13,840
Speaker 1: city than where I am right now. Well, the players

750
00:38:13,920 --> 00:38:16,440
Speaker 1: we've talked to say that you seem like a players

751
00:38:16,560 --> 00:38:19,000
Speaker 1: coach that you want to get to know everybody individually,

752
00:38:19,080 --> 00:38:21,319
Speaker 1: and I guess a lot of coaches do, but there's

753
00:38:21,320 --> 00:38:25,920
Speaker 1: just something special about that connection. What about relating to

754
00:38:25,960 --> 00:38:28,520
Speaker 1: the players that way? Because you have all these assistant coaches,

755
00:38:28,560 --> 00:38:30,359
Speaker 1: but you're the head coach, it's got to be tough.

756
00:38:30,520 --> 00:38:34,759
Speaker 1: How will you handle that? Well? Players want to be

757
00:38:34,840 --> 00:38:37,560
Speaker 1: coached mark. They want to go out and be the

758
00:38:37,600 --> 00:38:41,080
Speaker 1: best that they can be. And basically all they want

759
00:38:41,080 --> 00:38:43,200
Speaker 1: to be able. It doesn't matter who it is or

760
00:38:43,239 --> 00:38:45,759
Speaker 1: how you go about doing it. They want to be

761
00:38:45,800 --> 00:38:48,359
Speaker 1: able to go out to perform well. And I've been

762
00:38:48,480 --> 00:38:51,239
Speaker 1: very fortunate to be able to hire some guys that

763
00:38:51,280 --> 00:38:55,719
Speaker 1: are wonderful teachers that understand football, that love this game

764
00:38:55,840 --> 00:38:59,160
Speaker 1: just like I do. And that's all players want. And

765
00:38:59,200 --> 00:39:01,840
Speaker 1: when you talk about players coach, I'm not sure exactly

766

769
00:39:10,120 --> 00:39:12,920
Speaker 1: want to be. And if that's what you call that,

770
00:39:13,239 --> 00:39:15,439
Speaker 1: then that's exactly what I am and that's what we're

771

Speaker 1: going to be. Great stuff there from head coach David Collyard.

Speaker 1: hell it was, a little bit of Texans News saw

791
00:40:42,520 --> 00:40:45,160
Speaker 1: this one during a break of social media may have

792
00:40:45,200 --> 00:40:47,200
Speaker 1: been I don't know how long it was. That's kind

793
00:40:47,200 --> 00:40:49,040
Speaker 1: of on and off the last how many ever minutes

794
00:40:49,120 --> 00:40:57,319
Speaker 1: in between breaks. Octavious Marquez Tay Davis, formerly of the

795

Speaker 1: Browns and the New York Giants underraft the free agent

796
00:41:00,960 --> 00:41:06,120
Speaker 1: twenty eighteen, twenty seventeen, sorry, spent two years with the Giants,

797
00:41:06,200 --> 00:41:09,640
Speaker 1: two years with the Browns, six one, two hundred twenty

798
00:41:09,640 --> 00:41:15,680
Speaker 1: five pound linebacker special teamer is now a Houston Texans.

799
00:41:16,880 --> 00:41:20,400
Speaker 1: We got an email from our PR department earlier and

800
00:41:20,400 --> 00:41:26,200
Speaker 1: it just said, Okay, here's the roster, but it doesn't

801
00:41:26,200 --> 00:41:31,720
Speaker 1: have any signings because the signings don't go official until

802
00:41:32,560 --> 00:41:36,200
Speaker 1: the physicals are passed. Now, I did see the Dolphins

803
00:41:36,200 --> 00:41:39,400
Speaker 1: account put out a welcome to Bernardick McKinney, but that

804
00:41:40,400 --> 00:41:45,239
Speaker 1: trade has not been officially consummated because the physicals have

805
00:41:45,280 --> 00:41:49,840
Speaker 1: got to be passed on both sides, and until that happens,

806
00:41:51,080 --> 00:41:56,040
Speaker 1: the Texans won't announce that deal. What they did announced

807
00:41:56,040 --> 00:42:00,640
Speaker 1: today was that Zack Fulton was being released, Easton Vernon

808
00:42:00,680 --> 00:42:05,759
Speaker 1: Hargraves was officially being resigned. Those were announced today. Now

809
00:42:05,760 --> 00:42:08,279
Speaker 1: as far as out of house free agents coming in

810
00:42:08,360 --> 00:42:12,479
Speaker 1: they've all got to pass physical Satarah Taylor, Andre Roberts, etc.

811
00:42:13,200 --> 00:42:17,480
Speaker 1: They've got to go through that process before it gets

812
00:42:17,520 --> 00:42:21,040
Speaker 1: officially announced. So last year, all these signings were taking

813
00:42:21,120 --> 00:42:25,840
Speaker 1: place during COVID, and because they were taking place during COVID,

814
00:42:26,040 --> 00:42:28,759
Speaker 1: physicals were kind of all over the place, couldn't really

815
00:42:28,760 --> 00:42:33,399
Speaker 1: announce it. I remember that the trade didn't really get

816
00:42:33,400 --> 00:42:35,960
Speaker 1: officially announced I think all the way until April, if

817
00:42:35,960 --> 00:42:38,160
Speaker 1: I remember correctly, because they had to wait for everybody

818
00:42:38,160 --> 00:42:39,799
Speaker 1: to take physically. It's just a mass. But this year,

819
00:42:39,800 --> 00:42:41,080
Speaker 1: I think it's going to be a little bit easier

820
00:42:41,120 --> 00:42:45,880
Speaker 1: to do that, So hopefully the official announcement of signings

821
00:42:45,920 --> 00:42:50,920
Speaker 1: will happen at some point in some point fairly soon.

822
00:42:51,640 --> 00:42:54,400
Speaker 1: That roster has I think forty nine names on it.

823
00:42:54,640 --> 00:42:58,359
Speaker 1: That's it, and you have a ninety man roster. But

824
00:42:58,560 --> 00:43:01,600
Speaker 1: all the Texans unrestricted free agents were taken off of

825
00:43:01,640 --> 00:43:05,000
Speaker 1: their guys like Gary on Conley and Will Fuller, etc.

826
00:43:05,880 --> 00:43:09,240
Speaker 1: Guys that have been released officially off that list as well,

827
00:43:09,760 --> 00:43:13,120
Speaker 1: and none of the new free agents have gone on there.

828
00:43:13,160 --> 00:43:17,239
Speaker 1: So I think the number I want to say is

829
00:43:18,719 --> 00:43:22,360
Speaker 1: seventeen new editions. I could be wrong with that, but

830
00:43:22,480 --> 00:43:25,680
Speaker 1: I think that the number is about that, So that

831
00:43:25,719 --> 00:43:29,839
Speaker 1: gets you to about sixty five sixty six. You still

832
00:43:29,880 --> 00:43:33,800
Speaker 1: got twenty four twenty five players to fill out a

833
00:43:33,880 --> 00:43:36,680
Speaker 1: ninety man roster, so you're gonna get a lot of

834
00:43:36,680 --> 00:43:39,759
Speaker 1: those from the undrafted free agent process. You'll get what

835
00:43:39,800 --> 00:43:41,839
Speaker 1: eight or nine draft picks at this point, you have

836
00:43:41,840 --> 00:43:46,080
Speaker 1: eight or nine, could get more, we'll see, but that's

837
00:43:46,160 --> 00:43:48,840
Speaker 1: what you're gonna bring in from a rookie standpoint. So

838
00:43:48,920 --> 00:43:50,560
Speaker 1: you bring in a bunch of vets with the free

839
00:43:50,600 --> 00:43:53,279
Speaker 1: agent work, and then you bring in the rookies and

840
00:43:53,320 --> 00:43:54,960
Speaker 1: you get a ninety man roster, and you go to

841
00:43:55,000 --> 00:43:57,839
Speaker 1: battle for twenty twenty one and see where you are

842
00:43:57,880 --> 00:44:00,520
Speaker 1: at that point. It is the first day of the

843
00:44:00,560 --> 00:44:07,200
Speaker 1: new league year. So deals became official today, including the

844
00:44:07,360 --> 00:44:11,160
Speaker 1: Carson Wentz deal to Indianapolis. He will wear number two

845
00:44:11,560 --> 00:44:14,760
Speaker 1: in Indianapolis, I guess, because that's his second NFL team.

846
00:44:15,840 --> 00:44:22,520
Speaker 1: And Carson Wentz becomes while the continuation of I don't

847
00:44:22,560 --> 00:44:25,200
Speaker 1: know the right way of saying this, he becomes the

848
00:44:25,200 --> 00:44:30,960
Speaker 1: continuation of Colts upheaval at quarterback. Consider this. In twenty fourteen,

849
00:44:30,960 --> 00:44:33,800
Speaker 1: the starter was Andrew Luck. Twenty fifteen, it was Matt

850
00:44:33,800 --> 00:44:40,080
Speaker 1: Hasselbeck twenty sixteen. It was Luck seventeen, Brissette eighteen, Luck nineteen,

851
00:44:40,239 --> 00:44:44,640
Speaker 1: Brissette twenty this past year, Philip Rivers twenty twenty one,

852
00:44:44,680 --> 00:44:50,000
Speaker 1: Carson Wentz. They have not had a guy start at

853
00:44:50,120 --> 00:44:55,880
Speaker 1: quarterback in consecutive years since twenty thirteen twenty fourteen for Indianapolis,

854
00:44:56,600 --> 00:45:00,440
Speaker 1: and in that time frame for twenty fourteen through this

855
00:45:00,480 --> 00:45:04,680
Speaker 1: past year, they went to the FC Championship game in fourteen.

856
00:45:04,760 --> 00:45:07,880
Speaker 1: That was the last consecutive Luck year. He went twelve thirteen, fourteen.

857
00:45:08,600 --> 00:45:13,520
Speaker 1: They went to divisional round in twenty eighteen and they

858
00:45:13,600 --> 00:45:17,640
Speaker 1: got bumped out of just barely the wildcard round against

859
00:45:17,640 --> 00:45:19,560
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills. And with the FC Championship game in

860
00:45:19,600 --> 00:45:24,160
Speaker 1: twenty twenty, so with different quarterbacks throughout that time, they

861
00:45:24,200 --> 00:45:25,960
Speaker 1: were able to get to the playoffs. Now it was

862
00:45:26,000 --> 00:45:31,239
Speaker 1: just Philip Rivers Andrew Luck. But this trade for Carson Wentz.

863
00:45:31,280 --> 00:45:33,800
Speaker 1: The thing about it is it's not a significant trade.

864
00:45:34,520 --> 00:45:37,160
Speaker 1: It's a two. It's a three. That's it. That's all.

865
00:45:37,200 --> 00:45:38,960
Speaker 1: It was a second and a third. I think the

866
00:45:39,040 --> 00:45:42,200
Speaker 1: third can turn into a second based on playing time.

867
00:45:42,200 --> 00:45:44,520
Speaker 1: That's a conditional third, so it could end up being

868
00:45:44,680 --> 00:45:48,760
Speaker 1: essentially two seconds for the Colts to take on Carson Wentz.

869
00:45:49,640 --> 00:45:53,719
Speaker 1: That's not a lot of risks to really to see

870
00:45:53,760 --> 00:45:56,760
Speaker 1: if they can't get the confidence back in Carson Wentz

871
00:45:56,760 --> 00:46:00,239
Speaker 1: and see what the Colts have. I'm very curio is

872
00:46:00,239 --> 00:46:03,080
Speaker 1: Obviously we'll see Carson Wentz twice this coming year, but

873
00:46:03,239 --> 00:46:04,799
Speaker 1: I'm very curious to see if he can get his

874
00:46:04,800 --> 00:46:09,879
Speaker 1: confidence back. But the Colts are there. I don't want

875
00:46:09,880 --> 00:46:12,120
Speaker 1: to say running it back, but in some sense they are.

876
00:46:12,840 --> 00:46:14,759
Speaker 1: But they didn't get Trent Williams. There's a lot of

877
00:46:14,760 --> 00:46:17,200
Speaker 1: talk about Trent Williams joining the Colts if they are

878
00:46:17,239 --> 00:46:20,160
Speaker 1: getting Marlon Mack back after the Achilles. He signed a

879
00:46:20,200 --> 00:46:22,600
Speaker 1: one year deal, so they're gonna have Marlon Mack and

880
00:46:22,760 --> 00:46:26,920
Speaker 1: he minds, Jonathan Taylor, Jordan Wilkins. Their run game is

881
00:46:26,920 --> 00:46:28,440
Speaker 1: gonna be outstanding. But they still got to find a

882
00:46:28,520 --> 00:46:30,760
Speaker 1: left tackle. I'd imagine they're gonna do that in the draft.

883
00:46:31,560 --> 00:46:34,320
Speaker 1: But it all comes back to Carson Wentz. If Carson

884
00:46:34,320 --> 00:46:36,320
Speaker 1: Wentz is garbage, the Colts are gonna be nine to

885
00:46:36,440 --> 00:46:41,120
Speaker 1: seven at best. If Carson Wentz is exceptional, that team

886
00:46:41,160 --> 00:46:43,200
Speaker 1: could be the best in the AFC. I think he

887
00:46:43,280 --> 00:46:47,360
Speaker 1: falls somewhere in between. I think he's probably a maybe

888
00:46:47,360 --> 00:46:51,160
Speaker 1: his shade below Philip rivers, but the opportunity to do

889
00:46:51,200 --> 00:46:53,360
Speaker 1: some different things because he can move, whereas Philip was

890
00:46:53,360 --> 00:46:57,200
Speaker 1: a statue in the pocket. So curious to see Carson

891
00:46:57,320 --> 00:47:03,160
Speaker 1: Wentz with the Inneapolis Colts. But that career officially starts

892
00:47:03,840 --> 00:47:07,640
Speaker 1: today and started today in Indianapolis for one of the

893
00:47:07,680 --> 00:47:12,080
Speaker 1: more mercurial quarterbacks in this league, Carson Wentz. All right,

894
00:47:12,080 --> 00:47:14,920
Speaker 1: Big thanks to Mark for joining me, David Kelley for
