1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,880
Speaker 1: Hello Texans, and welcome to the program. Always fun to

2
00:00:03,880 --> 00:00:07,000
Speaker 1: be on the air talking about your Texans who are

3
00:00:07,160 --> 00:00:10,280
Speaker 1: done with minicamp. We're in the big break between minicamp

4
00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:13,920
Speaker 1: and training camp, and we have John Harris and the General,

5
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:17,759
Speaker 1: John McClain general. Great scene out at minicamp this week.

6
00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:18,799
Speaker 2: All right, your.

7
00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:22,400
Speaker 1: Overall view, the high level view of what you saw

8
00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:23,480
Speaker 1: at minicamp, go ahead.

9
00:00:23,560 --> 00:00:26,200
Speaker 3: I can't wait to see the Texans offense be on

10
00:00:26,239 --> 00:00:29,840
Speaker 3: the field. It was the season start at Indianapolis tomorrow.

11
00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:33,879
Speaker 3: I don't care about camp. I don't care about preseason games.

12
00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:37,680
Speaker 3: I want to see this offense in a regular season

13
00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:41,440
Speaker 3: because it can be prolific, might even be number two

14
00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:46,360
Speaker 3: behind the forty nine ers. And seeing the receivers, you know,

15
00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:51,360
Speaker 3: Diggs has done everything, Nico Collins is already underpaid, and

16
00:00:51,479 --> 00:00:56,040
Speaker 3: Tagdell looked really good and like Joe Mixon, you know,

17
00:00:56,080 --> 00:00:59,320
Speaker 3: I don't know how they're going to have enough footballs

18
00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:03,560
Speaker 3: to spread the wealth. And the key, of course is

19
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:07,520
Speaker 3: the offensive line. Berremi, Tunsil, Titus Hour, we're not there.

20
00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:11,199
Speaker 3: They rehabbing. Blake Fisher got a lot of good time

21
00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:15,800
Speaker 3: in I'm eager to see him as well. And of course,

22
00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:20,600
Speaker 3: really the only question on offense other than rehab is

23
00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:24,679
Speaker 3: left guard ken Kenyon Green win that starting job for

24
00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:27,320
Speaker 3: the first time since his rookie year in two thousand

25
00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:31,280
Speaker 3: and twenty two. We'll they have to move Titus back there.

26
00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:35,360
Speaker 3: That'll want to and start by Blake Fisher or Charlie

27
00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:41,080
Speaker 3: Heck and then or Kendrick Green, who started a couple

28
00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:44,560
Speaker 3: of games last year. So right now, Demigo Rans will

29
00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:48,640
Speaker 3: never say this, neither will Bobby Slowick. They got one

30
00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:52,280
Speaker 3: space at the table, and it's left guard general.

31
00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:54,880
Speaker 4: As much as people love hearing offensive line talk, and

32
00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:56,720
Speaker 4: I've learned this over the years because people tell me

33
00:01:56,760 --> 00:01:58,920
Speaker 4: how much they love offensive line talk, I think they

34
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:00,400
Speaker 4: like talking receivers little bit more.

35
00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:01,560
Speaker 2: I'm a focus on one.

36
00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:03,320
Speaker 4: We got to see him the last couple of weeks

37
00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:06,040
Speaker 4: when we go ta's mini camps, Stefon Diggs. Just see

38
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:09,359
Speaker 4: him in person, knowing everything that we've known about his career.

39
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:10,959
Speaker 2: I don't know how many games we've all seen of

40
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:11,560
Speaker 2: Stefan Diggs.

41
00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:13,720
Speaker 4: We see him play forever for the Vikings, for the Bills,

42
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:17,040
Speaker 4: as you watched him in practice with the Texans.

43
00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:19,160
Speaker 2: What were your overall thoughts.

44
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:22,320
Speaker 4: Of just seeing him into Texans Jersey doing what he's

45
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:24,320
Speaker 4: doing for the Texans, and how do you project it

46
00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:26,799
Speaker 4: going forward with those those two Nico Collins and Tank

47
00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:29,160
Speaker 4: Dell as well and in their center.

48
00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:36,440
Speaker 3: First of all, Diggs, he's twenty nine, he'll turn thirty

49
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:39,960
Speaker 3: in November. He should look really good in practice. And

50
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:43,200
Speaker 3: he's got a great quarterback throwing him the ball. And

51
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:47,800
Speaker 3: you know, he's a really good route runner. He always was.

52
00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:53,160
Speaker 3: Six consecutive thousand yard seasons, four consecutive one hundred catch

53
00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:54,639
Speaker 3: seasons he's played.

54
00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:57,680
Speaker 5: I can't remember if it's fourteen or sixteen.

55
00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:01,160
Speaker 3: Playoff games with Minnesota and Buffalo every year he was

56
00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:04,320
Speaker 3: in Buffalo's with a Super Bowl contender, that he was

57
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:07,280
Speaker 3: the man when it came to wide receivers. And now

58
00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:10,720
Speaker 3: he's going to have to share the wealth. And as

59
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:13,320
Speaker 3: long as they win, I don't think it's an issue.

60
00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:15,960
Speaker 3: I was really eager to see him talk to the

61
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:19,840
Speaker 3: media for the first time since the trade on Tuesday,

62
00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:23,720
Speaker 3: and I have a column about him on Houston Dixon's

63
00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:29,200
Speaker 3: dot com, and I thought he was tremendous, set all

64
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:33,880
Speaker 3: the right things. Love Josh Allen and if anybody thought

65
00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:37,600
Speaker 3: about Okay Stefan Diggs is going to say something's going

66
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:38,720
Speaker 3: to create headlines.

67
00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:40,400
Speaker 5: No, it's c J.

68
00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:44,760
Speaker 3: Stroud saying things that are creating headlines, not Stefan Diggs.

69
00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:48,320
Speaker 3: So Diggs, I thought it handled himself really well talking

70
00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:53,760
Speaker 3: about the Bills last season changed the coordinator's possibility of

71
00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:58,600
Speaker 3: a trade when his relationship with Stroud to begin at

72
00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:00,920
Speaker 3: the Pro Bowl when he said to chopped it up.

73
00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:04,680
Speaker 3: And you know, Stroud said great things about Houston and

74
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:08,840
Speaker 3: the Texans and the culture under Tamiko Ryans. And I

75
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:11,880
Speaker 3: heard after the trade that had been in the works

76
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:16,279
Speaker 3: for months, maybe since Stroud came back from the Pro Bowl.

77
00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:20,680
Speaker 3: But I thought his off season could not have gone better.

78
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:23,720
Speaker 1: John, you mentioned if CJ. Stroud has been saying things

79
00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:27,080
Speaker 1: that are making some headlines here, things about Dallas, things

80
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:30,920
Speaker 1: about Aaron Rodgers toward the Colts linebackers who have said

81
00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:34,320
Speaker 1: stuff to him, but it seems mostly friendly. We haven't

82
00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:36,520
Speaker 1: heard back from the Cowboys yet except for Micah. They

83
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:39,640
Speaker 1: went to the Far East together, and of course we

84
00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:42,320
Speaker 1: haven't heard from Rogers yet. But your thoughts on that,

85
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:44,680
Speaker 1: I mean, I feel like he's the leader. He can

86
00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:46,640
Speaker 1: do it the way he sees fit. And I think

87
00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:50,520
Speaker 1: people genuinely like him, so maybe it's not damaging at all.

88
00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:52,200
Speaker 2: But what are your thoughts on that part of it?

89
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:55,799
Speaker 5: Well, it's certainly not damaging with Micah Parzans.

90
00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:59,200
Speaker 3: If those two took seriously what they say to each other,

91
00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:03,080
Speaker 3: they'd gotten a fight every day because they are hilarious

92
00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:06,880
Speaker 3: giving each other grief while they go all over Asia

93
00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:08,600
Speaker 3: on behalf of the NFL.

94
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:12,640
Speaker 5: Those guys got a blast now the zire.

95
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:15,960
Speaker 3: Franklin kind of started it with the Colts, and he

96
00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:19,839
Speaker 3: followed up on it. But think about Rogers and Rogers

97
00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:24,560
Speaker 3: is always looking for motivation. I don't know why. He's

98
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:29,600
Speaker 3: got plenty, but I'll guarantee you this. Mike Florio made

99
00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:32,200
Speaker 3: a big deal out of it, and it's so long

100
00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:35,760
Speaker 3: until they played the Jets, nobody may remember.

101
00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:36,160
Speaker 5: It by then.

102
00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:40,279
Speaker 3: But Rogers is the kind that wants to latch on

103
00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:44,240
Speaker 3: any little thing for extra incentive. And for him to say,

104
00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:47,560
Speaker 3: Matthew Stafford been in Green Bay to want more Super

105
00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:50,800
Speaker 3: Bowls with that kind of talent, I never thought that myself.

106
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:56,240
Speaker 3: Don't even know how Stafford got into the conversation, but

107
00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:59,920
Speaker 3: I thought it was very interesting. I hope CJ talk

108
00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:02,960
Speaker 3: like that with us when he comes back for training camp.

109
00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:05,600
Speaker 4: Oh, I'm sure he will. I don't think there's any

110
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:07,960
Speaker 4: question about it. He definitely will. There's no question.

111
00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:11,279
Speaker 2: General. If you were to do let's.

112
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:14,200
Speaker 4: Call it the general superlatives from OTAs, and you had

113
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:19,600
Speaker 4: to give most impressive, most impressive award during ots, obviously

114
00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:22,440
Speaker 4: it's probably not going to an offensive defensive lineman because

115
00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:25,280
Speaker 4: they didn't have pads. Was there a particular player that

116
00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:27,719
Speaker 4: you went that dude during ots in mini camp?

117
00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:30,120
Speaker 2: Holy cow, he was really really good.

118
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:33,640
Speaker 3: Well, it's got to be John somebody throwing the ball,

119
00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:38,599
Speaker 3: catching the ball and being covered. That's correct, because nobody

120
00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:41,960
Speaker 3: you know, they played Patty Cake yep, so the guy

121
00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:46,919
Speaker 3: there was nobody in a secondary They're all veterans except

122
00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:52,640
Speaker 3: Callum Bullock, the third round pick from USC and Kamari Lasser.

123
00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:56,440
Speaker 3: Now I would say Kamari Laster because he's a rookie.

124
00:06:56,800 --> 00:06:58,560
Speaker 3: You know, he ran a four to sixty five at

125
00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:01,080
Speaker 3: the combine, scared off a lot of teams, didn't scare

126
00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:04,920
Speaker 3: off Tomigo Ryans. He won him to Cereal, took him

127
00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:07,640
Speaker 3: forty second. Overall, a lot of people stopped at that

128
00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:10,880
Speaker 3: because of his speed. But they got no issue with it,

129
00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:14,280
Speaker 3: and I'm glad I could bring that up because that's

130
00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:18,000
Speaker 3: my column on Houston Texans dot Com on Friday about

131
00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:21,480
Speaker 3: Lasted when the season starts, expecting him to be starting

132
00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:25,720
Speaker 3: at corner outside opposite Derrick Stanley Junior.

133
00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:30,960
Speaker 5: And they love Last and he's tough.

134
00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:35,000
Speaker 3: He's as Matt Burton deven As, a coordinator, pointed out,

135
00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:38,360
Speaker 3: he's gotten linked. You know, at the Combine, he was

136
00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:40,240
Speaker 3: five eleven and a half, so he listed him at

137
00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:44,040
Speaker 3: six foot. Texans listening at one eighties one eighty six

138
00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:47,280
Speaker 3: and so at six foot one eighty six, and he'll

139
00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:50,040
Speaker 3: add a little weight as he gets from more weight training,

140
00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:53,000
Speaker 3: and so I'm guessing the season, if he didn't lose

141
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:56,000
Speaker 3: it all in training camp, he'll way around one ninety.

142
00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:59,600
Speaker 3: And he's a physical player and he can play inside

143
00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:04,240
Speaker 3: or out. There's you know, the coaches love that V word, versatility.

144
00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:10,240
Speaker 3: And the most interesting quote I saw that he had

145
00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:17,440
Speaker 3: that laster head was about his about durability is dependability

146
00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:21,080
Speaker 3: something like that. So I like everything I've seen about him.

147
00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:23,840
Speaker 3: Think he's going to be good if he can stay healthy.

148
00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:28,520
Speaker 3: And as far as receivers, I couldn't pick somebody out there,

149
00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:31,680
Speaker 3: because they're all good tight ends knows. So I'm going

150
00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:33,840
Speaker 3: with Kamari lesser boy.

151
00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:35,760
Speaker 2: It's great that you brought up the forty time.

152
00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:38,600
Speaker 1: I totally forgot about that, And we've been watching him

153
00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:43,000
Speaker 1: make plays in OTA's in mini camp and it never

154
00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:45,920
Speaker 1: dawned on me. It never came back to me about

155
00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:49,480
Speaker 1: his forty time. Totally irrelevant. He's making play. If you

156
00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:52,000
Speaker 1: had to guess his forty time the way he's making plays,

157
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:53,600
Speaker 1: you'd say, hey, he's a four or four guy, because

158
00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:56,000
Speaker 1: obviously he can keep up with anybody who's covering. So

159
00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:58,640
Speaker 1: why the heck not, John, I want to take you

160
00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:00,679
Speaker 1: outside the Texans here for a moment, then we'll get

161
00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:05,600
Speaker 1: back into the Texans with Indianapolis. Anthony Richardson shoulder issues

162
00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:09,280
Speaker 1: not full go, taking a little rest here and there,

163
00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:14,120
Speaker 1: some soreness. How big a concern for the horseshoe Anthony

164
00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:15,720
Speaker 1: Richardson's shoulder.

165
00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:19,200
Speaker 3: Did you guys see that tattoo he got took seven hours,

166
00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:20,480
Speaker 3: he had to be knocked out.

167
00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:22,440
Speaker 5: And four tattoos specialists did it.

168
00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:26,640
Speaker 3: Maybe it's got something to do with that, thinking how

169
00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:30,079
Speaker 3: much money he must have spent on that body art

170
00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:34,000
Speaker 3: they got to be really worried, even if it's just

171
00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:36,880
Speaker 3: a small thing, because the fact is, since he's come

172
00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:41,600
Speaker 3: to the NFL number one pick, but he only started

173
00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:44,679
Speaker 3: thirteen games at Florida and he was nothing special. But

174
00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:47,360
Speaker 3: then he took off from the combine, he was superman.

175
00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:51,199
Speaker 3: They drafted my they installed him at quarterback. He looked

176
00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:55,439
Speaker 3: good as a runner, but anything going on with him physically,

177
00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:58,960
Speaker 3: when it's keeping him out, you know, they're holding their breath.

178
00:09:59,040 --> 00:09:59,960
Speaker 3: Even though they wanted me.

179
00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:03,760
Speaker 4: It general, just stay in the AFC. South happened to

180
00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:05,920
Speaker 4: listen to ty Dun's podcast that he did with me

181
00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:06,800
Speaker 4: O'Brien who.

182
00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:08,360
Speaker 2: Works at ten ten XL in Jacksonville.

183
00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:12,920
Speaker 4: It was a very interesting podcast because it was equal parts, Hey,

184
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:16,280
Speaker 4: here are the reasons the Jaguars sort.

185
00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:17,920
Speaker 2: Of flubbed the twenty twenty three season.

186
00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:22,360
Speaker 4: Mixed with seemingly some excuses that came from sources and

187
00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:23,200
Speaker 4: all that kind of stuff.

188
00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:23,920
Speaker 2: It was odd.

189
00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:26,720
Speaker 4: So I'm gonna ask you just straight up, Jaguars in

190
00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:30,760
Speaker 4: twenty twenty four, are we buying resurgence? Is it going

191
00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:33,120
Speaker 4: to be you know, you know they're kind of lying

192
00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:36,160
Speaker 4: in wait. Is that team talent enough to be a

193
00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:39,480
Speaker 4: big time playoff team because the final words that Tyler

194
00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:42,679
Speaker 4: Dunn spoke is yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if the

195
00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:44,720
Speaker 4: Jaguars are a team that makes a run for the

196
00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:45,840
Speaker 4: conference championship.

197
00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:48,240
Speaker 2: So I'm just gonna ask you your thoughts.

198
00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:51,280
Speaker 4: About the Jaguars conference champions Conference championship.

199
00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:52,440
Speaker 5: Wow, I haven't.

200
00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:58,160
Speaker 3: Seen anything that I've seen or read about the Jaguars

201
00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:00,880
Speaker 3: that made me think they could that. They were a

202
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:05,120
Speaker 3: huge disappointment last year, they still finished with a winning record.

203
00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:08,200
Speaker 3: Trevor Lawrence has yet to take that next step to

204
00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:10,280
Speaker 3: become a great quarterback.

205
00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:11,960
Speaker 5: And he could anytime.

206
00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:16,760
Speaker 3: Doug Peterson's been there long enough, they need to make

207
00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:20,720
Speaker 3: their move. It's just like Indianapolis and Tennessee has added

208
00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:24,520
Speaker 3: so many players on its offense to try to find

209
00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:28,360
Speaker 3: out if Will Levis can be the franchise quarterback under

210
00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:32,480
Speaker 3: Brian Callahan the new coach, and then Ran Carthon. He

211
00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:38,040
Speaker 3: didn't draft him. That was Mike Rabel And so the

212
00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:42,440
Speaker 3: division could be even tougher top to bottom than it

213
00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:45,360
Speaker 3: was last season. But I just have not seen that

214
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:47,040
Speaker 3: with the Jaguars.

215
00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:48,240
Speaker 2: General.

216
00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:53,880
Speaker 1: The nflpa idea of changing the offseason format and basically

217
00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:57,480
Speaker 1: getting rid of OTAs and starting training camp earlier. No

218
00:11:57,520 --> 00:12:00,280
Speaker 1: one seems to like it. Does anyone really like this idea?

219
00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:02,120
Speaker 1: The coaches don't like it. A lot of the vets

220
00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:03,920
Speaker 1: are saying this is not good for the rookies. And

221
00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:06,199
Speaker 1: the vets can set out ota is if they want anyway,

222
00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:09,200
Speaker 1: or take it lately and have sort of a a

223
00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:11,959
Speaker 1: I'll workout and I'll be here and I'll watch kind

224
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:15,520
Speaker 1: of routine and that training cap two weeks up until

225
00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:18,000
Speaker 1: the first preseason game. It's not much of a big

226
00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:20,520
Speaker 1: deal at that point as long as you are in shape,

227
00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:22,640
Speaker 1: So why change it at all?

228
00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:23,720
Speaker 2: Where do you think it's all.

229
00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:31,640
Speaker 3: Going collective bargaining eighteenth game? The players don't want an

230
00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:34,480
Speaker 3: eighteenth game. They know it's coming, so they're going to

231
00:12:34,559 --> 00:12:35,240
Speaker 3: watch something.

232
00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:35,760
Speaker 5: Now.

233
00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:40,439
Speaker 3: If you're a rookie, Sakamari Lasser is off the whole

234
00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:43,000
Speaker 3: off season now, if he wanted to come in here

235
00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:45,439
Speaker 3: and work out on his own, he could. I think

236
00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:48,120
Speaker 3: they ought to make it okay. Players don't have to

237
00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:51,040
Speaker 3: be there at the off season until June first, when

238
00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:54,360
Speaker 3: they start their offseason program, but if they want to come,

239
00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:55,400
Speaker 3: they should be allowed to.

240
00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:58,320
Speaker 5: But guys like say last.

241
00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:00,760
Speaker 3: Or comes in with his four point six five and

242
00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:04,160
Speaker 3: the forty at the combine and he is in there

243
00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:06,880
Speaker 3: maybe a week before the Vets, and then all of

244
00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:09,640
Speaker 3: a sudden, the Vets come in, and it's gonna be

245
00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:12,959
Speaker 3: hard for a rookie. Rookies need all that time they

246
00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:15,920
Speaker 3: can learn in the classroom and then they can take

247
00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:19,679
Speaker 3: it out to the practice field for basically walkthroughs. I

248
00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:22,160
Speaker 3: think it's something that's not going to happen. I think

249
00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:26,280
Speaker 3: it's a bargaining chip that the union's going to want

250
00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:29,080
Speaker 3: all he can get to give that eighteenth game. Now

251
00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:33,480
Speaker 3: the eighteenth game, they're going to make so much more money. Therefore,

252
00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:36,280
Speaker 3: the salary CAP's going to go up, and we'll see

253
00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:40,360
Speaker 3: quarterbacks maybe making seventy million a year because they're not

254
00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:43,000
Speaker 3: going to give it if the owners aren't bringing it in.

255
00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:46,120
Speaker 5: But I don't know anybody doesn't like it either. I

256
00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:49,000
Speaker 5: believe rookies would be far behind. We're no know what.

257
00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:55,120
Speaker 3: Coaches want more time with their players, especially the rookies.

258
00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:58,880
Speaker 3: When I first start covering the NFL in seventy seven,

259
00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:03,360
Speaker 3: they would have a week long rookie camp just for

260
00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:05,960
Speaker 3: the rookies to come in and they had offseason, dude,

261
00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:08,840
Speaker 3: but they wanted to give them a head start on

262
00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:11,920
Speaker 3: training camp because once the Vets came in, it was

263
00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:16,040
Speaker 3: double days, three hours of practice twice a week, and

264
00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:18,600
Speaker 3: so they didn't want the rookies to be behind physically

265
00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:20,440
Speaker 3: or mentally even more.

266
00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:20,840
Speaker 5: Than they were.

267
00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:22,800
Speaker 1: Well, they're not going to get to opt out of

268
00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:25,240
Speaker 1: the TV deals until the end of the decade, but

269
00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:27,840
Speaker 1: I guess for an extra game they could do some things.

270
00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:30,560
Speaker 1: And then there was a story this week, Well, the

271
00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:34,120
Speaker 1: NBA TV deals unbelievable, and it makes you think, what's

272
00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:35,280
Speaker 1: the next NFL.

273
00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:35,920
Speaker 2: Deal going to be like?

274
00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:40,360
Speaker 1: Because we're already in this Amazon Netflix, My gosh, the

275
00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:43,880
Speaker 1: money is endless, especially with Amazon and YouTube, the kind

276
00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:46,480
Speaker 1: of cash they can shell out, even Apple if they

277
00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:47,440
Speaker 1: want to get involved.

278
00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:48,920
Speaker 2: But that's gonna be interesting.

279
00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:51,800
Speaker 1: You think they crack open those TV deals early or

280
00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:54,320
Speaker 1: wait till the end of the decade to opt out.

281
00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:57,480
Speaker 3: I think they will. The longer they wait, the more

282
00:14:57,480 --> 00:15:00,240
Speaker 3: they're gonna get. But I don't think they'll wait till

283
00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:02,520
Speaker 3: the end of the decade. They'll find a way to

284
00:15:02,640 --> 00:15:06,040
Speaker 3: redo them. And you're right, Mark Myke. Goodness, if the

285
00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:07,440
Speaker 3: NBA gets this.

286
00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:08,000
Speaker 5: Kind of deal.

287
00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:11,520
Speaker 3: You know it's going to pale in comparison to what

288
00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:14,520
Speaker 3: the NFL gets, So the NBA better get it when

289
00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:18,240
Speaker 3: it wants. TNT, which is in danger of losing it

290
00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:21,680
Speaker 3: as one more year, has a clause that it can match.

291
00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:26,080
Speaker 3: But so far that new guy running the show at

292
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:31,320
Speaker 3: the time, Warner whatever they are, Jones TNT, he's lagging

293
00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:36,479
Speaker 3: way behind. Kind of reminds me of CBS when CBS

294
00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:39,680
Speaker 3: dropped out of it and their network didn't go down

295
00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:43,040
Speaker 3: the toilet, but it was close, and the Fox came

296
00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:46,720
Speaker 3: in with David Hill and Rupert Murdoch. Everybody said, there's

297
00:15:46,760 --> 00:15:49,520
Speaker 3: no way at work as one of the greatest financial

298
00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:53,440
Speaker 3: decision in the history of sports, and CBS couldn't wait

299
00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:54,080
Speaker 3: to get back.

300
00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:57,800
Speaker 4: In general, you were talking about money earlier, and it

301
00:15:57,880 --> 00:16:00,000
Speaker 4: got me thinking about the wide receivers. I'm on right,

302
00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:02,720
Speaker 4: Saint Brown got paid this offseason, right, he got paid.

303
00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:07,840
Speaker 4: Texans face him, Jaylen Wattle, Dolphins, he got paid, Texas

304
00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:11,480
Speaker 4: are gonna face him. And then just recently, Justin Jefferson

305
00:16:11,520 --> 00:16:14,800
Speaker 4: signs the largest deal for a non quarterback ap Y

306
00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:18,040
Speaker 4: of thirty five million, one hundred and ten million guaranteed

307
00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:22,080
Speaker 4: a crazy deal. We still don't know what Ceedee Lamb

308
00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:24,600
Speaker 4: might get, t Higgins might get, what they might offer

309
00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:28,680
Speaker 4: Jamar Chase in Cincinnati. The thought of receivers the other

310
00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:30,720
Speaker 4: I think Mike Florio put it out there saying, look,

311
00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:32,160
Speaker 4: you know, maybe.

312
00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:34,760
Speaker 2: Teams are gonna stop paying receivers. That's not the case.

313
00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:37,760
Speaker 4: What do you think this Justin Jefferson deal does for

314
00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:41,120
Speaker 4: guys like Ceedee Lamb, Jamar Chase, t Higgins, even Brandon

315
00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:42,120
Speaker 4: Ayuk down the road.

316
00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:45,920
Speaker 3: Well, first of all, they need to be like Nikoe

317
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:49,240
Speaker 3: Collins and his agent and don't try to break the bank.

318
00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:52,040
Speaker 3: Be happy. They're you're only gonna get twenty four million.

319
00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:57,040
Speaker 3: Michael Pittman signed early in the offseason. They're like, do

320
00:16:57,120 --> 00:17:00,480
Speaker 3: you regret it? And he said, no, I did it

321
00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:04,480
Speaker 3: with good intentions. I can and I can live very

322
00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:07,360
Speaker 3: well on the money that I have. I think those

323
00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:10,679
Speaker 3: kind of contracts are going to cause problems behind the scenes.

324
00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:16,240
Speaker 3: Tyreek Hill wants to renegotiate, and he had seventeen hundred

325
00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:18,359
Speaker 3: yards last year. Well, he's not going to be happy

326
00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:21,120
Speaker 3: if he didn't get to renegostine. I think he's got

327
00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:25,040
Speaker 3: two years left on his contract. Something like that. But

328
00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:29,320
Speaker 3: I remember when running backs made more quarterbacks. Cowboys got

329
00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:32,480
Speaker 3: to decide what they're going to do on Dak Prescott first,

330
00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:35,240
Speaker 3: even though he's got one more year left, because why

331
00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:37,720
Speaker 3: would you just see d Lamb say thirty million a

332
00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:41,200
Speaker 3: year if you're gonna let Dak walk and you were

333
00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:45,800
Speaker 3: going to go with another quarterback and not even.

334
00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:46,639
Speaker 5: Knowing who it would be.

335
00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:50,680
Speaker 1: You know, I wonder which quarterback is going to break

336
00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:54,520
Speaker 1: Watson's guaranteed money record, not the total dollars, but the

337
00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:57,960
Speaker 1: guaranteed money going beyond two hundred and thirty million. It

338
00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:00,600
Speaker 1: could actually be CJ. He could be the next guy

339
00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:03,080
Speaker 1: up to do it. That would mean Mulla getto would.

340
00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:04,640
Speaker 2: Get both Trevor Lawrence.

341
00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:09,840
Speaker 1: No, it's not gonna be Trevor Lawrence. Johnny a skinny

342
00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:12,840
Speaker 1: to a skinny too. By the way, do you see

343
00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:15,439
Speaker 1: what Tyreek said about it? He joked that he was

344
00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:22,400
Speaker 1: doing it ozempic. That's actually pretty that's actually Tyreek's kind

345
00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:23,560
Speaker 1: of funny when he wants to.

346
00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:25,080
Speaker 2: Be the Dolphins.

347
00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:28,600
Speaker 1: Is that the best offense the Texans will face this year?

348
00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:31,920
Speaker 1: I know the best quarterback is Mahomes, but the best

349
00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:36,200
Speaker 1: offense they will face, especially let's put this, let's throw

350
00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:38,679
Speaker 1: this in the mix by the time they play them,

351
00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:40,439
Speaker 1: because the Dolphins could be all banged up like they

352
00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:41,000
Speaker 1: were last year.

353
00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:43,240
Speaker 2: Anybody could be. But what do you think, general.

354
00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:46,360
Speaker 3: I think they were number one last year and they're

355
00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:49,120
Speaker 3: going to be number one this year. They have incredible speed,

356
00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:53,720
Speaker 3: They had another great running back. They got three running backs,

357
00:18:54,320 --> 00:18:59,840
Speaker 3: and Monster scored what twenty one touchdowns? Devin a chain

358
00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:03,000
Speaker 3: are Vaughan a Chan I can't remember which he goes.

359
00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:07,040
Speaker 3: He was the best deep threat running back in the

360
00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:10,760
Speaker 3: NFL and they drafted that kid this year. I think

361
00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:14,439
Speaker 3: their offense is gonna be prolific. It's very interesting we

362
00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:17,680
Speaker 3: talk about the Texans offense so much. In my Kamari

363
00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:20,480
Speaker 3: Lasser story, I say he's going to be one of

364
00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:23,800
Speaker 3: five new starters on the defense, but only one in

365
00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:27,800
Speaker 3: the secondary because you got a Zizi here and then

366
00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:29,600
Speaker 3: you have three new defensive alignemen.

367
00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:30,360
Speaker 5: I'm curious.

368
00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:35,760
Speaker 3: Denigo Autry looks like a tackle in passing situations. Obviously

369
00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:38,359
Speaker 3: he's gonna move inside, but are they going to go

370
00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:43,640
Speaker 3: with settled and full of Cassi at tackles. I can't

371
00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:47,200
Speaker 3: wait to see how the interior defensive line plays out.

372
00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:50,199
Speaker 3: But one of the reasons they signed fourteen free agents,

373
00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:55,040
Speaker 3: re signed four defensive fourteen defensive free agents, re signed

374
00:19:55,080 --> 00:19:59,439
Speaker 3: four of theirs, and drafted five defensive players is because

375
00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:03,840
Speaker 3: of these offenses they're going against led by some most

376
00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:07,080
Speaker 3: of the best quarterbacks in the NFL. And I did

377
00:20:07,119 --> 00:20:10,080
Speaker 3: a thing before looking at if you go back all

378
00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:12,400
Speaker 3: the thousand yard rushers they're going to play, I think

379
00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:15,679
Speaker 3: three quarters of them this season, even though a thousand

380
00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:17,720
Speaker 3: yards is not as big a deal as it.

381
00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:18,199
Speaker 5: Used to be.

382
00:20:19,359 --> 00:20:22,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, the running backs and wide receivers on this schedule

383
00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:26,639
Speaker 4: are incredible. John the bleacher Report has a Twitter account

384
00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:29,560
Speaker 4: called bleacher Report Gridiron and they always have like different

385
00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:32,800
Speaker 4: lists and things, and so today they have notable free

386
00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:34,960
Speaker 4: agent landing spots. This one's for you two Mark, I

387
00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:37,320
Speaker 4: want you to think about this. They have notable free

388
00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:41,160
Speaker 4: agent landing spots. David Baktiari. They've got Saints, Patriots, Chiefs,

389
00:20:41,320 --> 00:20:46,600
Speaker 4: Klays Campbell, Cardinals, Eagles, Rams, Michael Thomas, Broncos, Steelers Rams,

390
00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:51,440
Speaker 4: Justin Simmons, Titans, Eagles, Ravens, and they get down to

391
00:20:51,560 --> 00:20:55,440
Speaker 4: Xavian Howard, Chiefs, Texans, Lions.

392
00:20:56,080 --> 00:21:00,399
Speaker 2: I want both of y'all's gut reaction. Xavian Howard, who.

393
00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:04,439
Speaker 1: The Texans zero Yeah, I don't know if he wins

394
00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:07,200
Speaker 1: the job over the what they've got going on right now.

395
00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:09,719
Speaker 5: I've already got Jeff Alcuda and CJ.

396
00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:13,720
Speaker 3: Henderson, two guys that have been disappointments based on where

397
00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:16,679
Speaker 3: they were drafted, but now are in a position to

398
00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:19,880
Speaker 3: do what Sheldon Rankins did at last year, one year

399
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:22,800
Speaker 3: contract and a chance to make a lot of money.

400
00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:25,840
Speaker 3: Howard is not the same player used to be. Now

401
00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:29,800
Speaker 3: he was better than Okudah and Henderson in the NFL,

402
00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:34,119
Speaker 3: but my goodness, they got five new corners that brought

403
00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:38,280
Speaker 3: in and overall and if he got laster starting outside

404
00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:42,200
Speaker 3: and Ocudah and Henderson, I don't know if he'll keep

405
00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:45,440
Speaker 3: both of them. But I don't see him throwing Xavi

406
00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:49,000
Speaker 3: and Howard into the mix because they don't know if

407
00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:51,919
Speaker 3: he would even be able to start. I think a

408
00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:54,280
Speaker 3: lot of it's just because he's from here as a

409
00:21:54,320 --> 00:21:56,760
Speaker 3: Baylor grad. I'd love to see it, but I just

410
00:21:56,880 --> 00:22:00,480
Speaker 3: don't see it. I don't Justin Simmons must be asking

411
00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:03,240
Speaker 3: him for a lot of money because he's still pretty good.

412
00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:08,680
Speaker 3: Hoping somebody gets hurt, and the way Jimmy Ward had

413
00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:11,240
Speaker 3: injuries last year, the way three of the safeties dead,

414
00:22:11,840 --> 00:22:14,720
Speaker 3: I don't see the Texans doing it. But if he

415
00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:17,600
Speaker 3: wanted to come to a Super Bowl contender and have

416
00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:20,000
Speaker 3: a chance to play, this would be a place for

417
00:22:20,119 --> 00:22:21,160
Speaker 3: him to consider.

418
00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:26,240
Speaker 1: General Gary Kubiak will present Andre Johnson thoughts.

419
00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:28,320
Speaker 5: That's the way he should be.

420
00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:31,600
Speaker 3: He's the ideal guy to do it, and Gary will

421
00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:36,119
Speaker 3: do an outstanding job, and I really look forward to

422
00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:37,320
Speaker 3: seeing his introduction.

423
00:22:37,960 --> 00:22:38,680
Speaker 2: It's gonna be great.

424
00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:41,880
Speaker 1: I hesitate to ask this next question to somebody who

425
00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:45,280
Speaker 1: covered six weeks of Oilers training camp in places like

426
00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:47,560
Speaker 1: San Angelo and wherever else you were.

427
00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:50,320
Speaker 2: But with a longer camp.

428
00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:52,520
Speaker 1: It's not really a longer camp because it's two weeks

429
00:22:52,560 --> 00:22:55,000
Speaker 1: until the first preseason game, but it's seven weeks as

430
00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:59,040
Speaker 1: opposed to six before the regular season opener, four preseason

431
00:22:59,080 --> 00:23:02,280
Speaker 1: games as opposed to three. Do you think Dimiko changes

432
00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:04,680
Speaker 1: up the routine, maybe gets into pads a little bit later.

433
00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:07,040
Speaker 1: How do you think that goes for this organization?

434
00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:11,560
Speaker 3: I interviewed to Miko because I'm doing a story on

435
00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:15,360
Speaker 3: him going how much more comfortable he is now than

436
00:23:15,359 --> 00:23:18,200
Speaker 3: he was this time last year, and he loves having

437
00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:20,640
Speaker 3: that extra game. When you have so many new players

438
00:23:20,680 --> 00:23:23,200
Speaker 3: on defense and you know you're gonna have a bunch

439
00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:27,679
Speaker 3: of new starters, having that extra game is like a

440
00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:31,160
Speaker 3: gift from God to be able to watch the players,

441
00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:35,360
Speaker 3: but guys like Gokuda and Anderson because they seem almost

442
00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:40,480
Speaker 3: to be the same player, all those defensive linemen, and

443
00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:44,280
Speaker 3: so I'm really he's fired up about having the extra one.

444
00:23:44,320 --> 00:23:47,359
Speaker 3: I have no idea how he's gonna handle it early on,

445
00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:53,439
Speaker 3: but it'll it'll having that extra game from them and

446
00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:55,640
Speaker 3: the Bears. Bears got a lot of new players too.

447
00:23:56,400 --> 00:23:59,920
Speaker 3: There's not like both of them are experienced and set.

448
00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:04,400
Speaker 3: And because the only job opens left guard, we're gonna

449
00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:08,000
Speaker 3: spend most of our time in camp in preseason watching

450
00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:11,440
Speaker 3: the defense because five jobs are gonna be open.

451
00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:13,240
Speaker 2: All right, So what do you have going on in

452
00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:14,640

453
00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:19,200

454
00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:23,320
Speaker 3: Mari Lassiter. I will have one next week on the

455
00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:26,840
Speaker 3: defensive line, and I haven't decided what my other one

456
00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:30,280
Speaker 3: will be this week, And all the interviews, I'm sitting

457
00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:32,840
Speaker 3: there thinking, Okay, That'll be a good one for the

458
00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:35,280
Speaker 3: time off, because I'm gonna try to do two a week.

459
00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:38,320
Speaker 3: One's gonna be about Bobby Slowhet get to know him

460
00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:41,080
Speaker 3: because we won't be seeing him more than one more season.

461
00:24:41,359 --> 00:24:44,640
Speaker 1: Oh boy, Okay, thank you, General. We appreciate the time.

Speaker 1: in podcast forms soon enough on Houston Texans dot com

469
00:25:04,119 --> 00:25:07,399
Speaker 1: and Spotify and all the other podcast services like Apple,

470
00:25:07,760 --> 00:25:10,760
Speaker 1: which they don't call iTunes iTunes anymore. They just call

471
00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:14,719
Speaker 1: it Apple. Right, I think everything is Apple Apple. Yeah right, okay,

472
00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:17,399
Speaker 1: love them all right. I get teased for having an

473
00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:22,440
Speaker 1: Android tea endlessly. I'm the green bubble and.

474
00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:24,280
Speaker 2: We get green bubbles from you all the time.

475
00:25:24,400 --> 00:25:26,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, and you know what, I'm on a thread. I'm

476
00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:29,120
Speaker 1: not on a thread. I'm not on my pickup basketball thread.

477
00:25:29,160 --> 00:25:31,399
Speaker 1: Because all the guys have iPhones, and they didn't add

478
00:25:31,440 --> 00:25:34,240
Speaker 1: me when they began the thread. That way, you cannot

479
00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:37,800
Speaker 1: be added during the thread or once the thread is established.

480
00:25:37,800 --> 00:25:42,320
Speaker 2: It's stupid Apple Android blocked. That's what it is. It's crazy.

481
00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:45,720
Speaker 1: Apple finally has to have the same charger as everybody else,

482
00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:48,880
Speaker 1: thank goodness. But they still don't have their act together

483
00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:51,680
Speaker 1: with allowing people to enter threads that are already established.

484
00:25:51,680 --> 00:25:54,560
Speaker 1: And they should Apple, you know why, because thirty percent

485
00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:57,639
Speaker 1: of people, that's right, I'm a minority. Thirty percent of

486
00:25:57,680 --> 00:26:00,679
Speaker 1: people have androids. There you go, right, I'm done with

487
00:26:00,720 --> 00:26:01,160
Speaker 1: that ramp.

488
00:26:01,200 --> 00:26:02,440
Speaker 2: You ring out of that phone.

489
00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:04,359
Speaker 4: I got blue bubbles, so if you want to text

490
00:26:04,359 --> 00:26:05,960
Speaker 4: me you can if you like blue bubbles.

491
00:26:06,040 --> 00:26:06,840
Speaker 2: All right, green.

492
00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:10,240
Speaker 4: Bubbles, it's a nice color. Green's a nice color. Okay,

493
00:26:10,320 --> 00:26:12,840
Speaker 4: great color colored packers. Texas beat the packers and will

494
00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:13,640
Speaker 4: own the color green.

495
00:26:14,160 --> 00:26:16,840
Speaker 2: That'll be nice. Let's do this. More likely to happen,

496
00:26:18,359 --> 00:26:18,600
Speaker 2: all right?

497
00:26:18,680 --> 00:26:22,439
Speaker 1: First one, Johnny more likely to start at linebacker in

498
00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:26,679
Speaker 1: base other than the obvious first two. Aziz al Shire,

499
00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:31,199
Speaker 1: no question about it. And we also have Kristin Harris.

500
00:26:31,280 --> 00:26:35,040
Speaker 1: But is it gonna be Henry Toatoo or Jacob Phillips

501
00:26:35,040 --> 00:26:38,280
Speaker 1: starting at linebacker in base as that third guy or

502
00:26:38,320 --> 00:26:39,080
Speaker 1: somebody else.

503
00:26:39,240 --> 00:26:40,800
Speaker 2: I'm not mentioning right now.

504
00:26:41,359 --> 00:26:47,120
Speaker 4: Good question. I'm gonna go with Toatoa, but it's close.

505
00:26:48,040 --> 00:26:53,719
Speaker 4: I think Phillips is supremely talented. He's built like a

506
00:26:53,800 --> 00:26:57,879
Speaker 4: small forward in basketball. I mean he's there. There are

507
00:26:57,920 --> 00:27:00,280
Speaker 4: parts of him that are thicker. I mean I think

508
00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:03,240
Speaker 4: he's two hundred and thirty pounds. That's that's hard, but

509
00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:05,480
Speaker 4: he is. You stand up next to me, Okay, yeah,

510
00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:09,640
Speaker 4: he's good size, but man, he moves very very well.

511
00:27:09,680 --> 00:27:12,040
Speaker 4: But I think Henry, just the second year in the system.

512
00:27:12,119 --> 00:27:14,720
Speaker 4: You could tell Henry's put on some lbs in a

513
00:27:14,760 --> 00:27:17,440
Speaker 4: good way, you know, packing on weight. You know people hear,

514
00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:20,480
Speaker 4: oh that person's packed on weight. It's like, oh, sorry,

515
00:27:20,520 --> 00:27:21,760
Speaker 4: a couple of too many cakes.

516
00:27:21,840 --> 00:27:22,080
Speaker 2: Huh.

517
00:27:22,119 --> 00:27:24,720
Speaker 4: No, Henry's packed it on in the right way. He

518
00:27:24,760 --> 00:27:27,879
Speaker 4: looks thicker, quicker. I think there is a lot of

519
00:27:27,920 --> 00:27:30,960
Speaker 4: trust with Henry. They know he's gonna know what to do.

520
00:27:31,400 --> 00:27:34,480
Speaker 4: And I think second year, taking that another taking another step,

521
00:27:35,160 --> 00:27:37,600
Speaker 4: I think that base could look really good with Azz

522
00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:40,720
Speaker 4: Christian and Henry. That could be a pretty good look

523
00:27:40,800 --> 00:27:43,960
Speaker 4: in your base. Here's my question and I think we.

524
00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:47,399
Speaker 2: You said. I heard Dimko say this and made me

525
00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:47,960
Speaker 2: think about it.

526
00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:50,160
Speaker 4: He was he was calling out, he's like base base

527
00:27:50,240 --> 00:27:52,440
Speaker 4: base because they were getting in a you know, he

528
00:27:52,520 --> 00:27:56,480
Speaker 4: wanted the base alignment in. But in all honesty, isn't

529
00:27:56,480 --> 00:27:59,439
Speaker 4: the base alignment for the Texans now, nickel it is?

530
00:27:59,600 --> 00:28:00,520
Speaker 2: I mean it is.

531
00:28:00,680 --> 00:28:03,120
Speaker 1: I believe it is because you're in it the majority

532
00:28:03,119 --> 00:28:05,840
Speaker 1: of the time all NFL teams are. Right, the league

533
00:28:05,920 --> 00:28:08,760
Speaker 1: average is something like seventy percent or sixty eight percent.

534
00:28:08,800 --> 00:28:10,720
Speaker 1: It's that high right now that you're in Nickels. So

535
00:28:10,800 --> 00:28:13,200
Speaker 1: forget about bass. But I mentioned bass because what the hell?

536
00:28:13,359 --> 00:28:16,280
Speaker 1: Yeah I mentioned bass. Well that's how you refer to it. Yeah, yeah,

537
00:28:16,320 --> 00:28:20,560
Speaker 1: And guess what, it's another mention of how the linebacking

538
00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:25,560
Speaker 1: position has evolved. The weights, the listed weights, because as

539
00:28:25,560 --> 00:28:27,840
Speaker 1: we all know, did you have enough of the general's

540
00:28:27,920 --> 00:28:31,160
Speaker 1: voice yet tonight? As we all know, they don't list

541
00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:34,959
Speaker 1: the proper weights. All right, So Aziz al Shaier is

542
00:28:35,040 --> 00:28:39,040
Speaker 1: two twenty eight, Jacob Phillips to twenty eight, Henry Totoa

543
00:28:39,280 --> 00:28:43,160
Speaker 1: to twenty eight. Uh, let's see Christian Harris two thirty two,

544
00:28:43,200 --> 00:28:45,000
Speaker 1: all right, so he's four pounds heavier.

545
00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:46,040
Speaker 2: According to this.

546
00:28:46,040 --> 00:28:48,840
Speaker 1: This is the official Texans roster here. Yeah, the weights

547
00:28:48,920 --> 00:28:51,080
Speaker 1: might not be exact, but it shows you there's nobody

548
00:28:51,080 --> 00:28:54,880
Speaker 1: two forty five two point fifty. There's no Benardrick McKinney here,

549
00:28:55,120 --> 00:28:58,720
Speaker 1: there's no Brian Cushing here. Even he would probably play

550
00:28:58,760 --> 00:28:59,760
Speaker 1: a little lighter now.

551
00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:01,120
Speaker 2: Well, no on Cushing.

552
00:29:01,160 --> 00:29:03,240
Speaker 4: If you think back to his USC career, he actually

553
00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:06,120
Speaker 4: played on the edge one year and played pre darn

554
00:29:06,160 --> 00:29:08,080
Speaker 4: well and I thought that's where they were going to

555
00:29:08,120 --> 00:29:10,960
Speaker 4: play him eventually, but it just got to a point

556
00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:13,840
Speaker 4: where he was so good playing a stackbacker position. But yeah,

557
00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:15,800
Speaker 4: Cushing would go play with his hand down for sure.

558
00:29:16,080 --> 00:29:19,400
Speaker 1: He with his hand down right now, absolutely, Or would

559
00:29:19,400 --> 00:29:22,680
Speaker 1: he slim down now that's he was listed at two

560
00:29:22,600 --> 00:29:23,600
Speaker 1: point fifty five.

561
00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:26,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, think about that for a moment.

562
00:29:26,440 --> 00:29:29,240
Speaker 4: I mean, Cush with at Kush at two forty five,

563
00:29:29,280 --> 00:29:30,120
Speaker 4: ten pounds lighter.

564
00:29:30,360 --> 00:29:31,320
Speaker 2: He already could run.

565
00:29:32,120 --> 00:29:33,320
Speaker 4: So I think he would have been one of the

566
00:29:33,400 --> 00:29:35,440
Speaker 4: rare guys that would have stayed maybe at that weight,

567
00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:37,840
Speaker 4: not two fifty five, but I think he got a

568
00:29:37,880 --> 00:29:40,760
Speaker 4: two forty two forty five, and you know how maniacal

569
00:29:40,760 --> 00:29:43,000
Speaker 4: he was about his workout, so he would have gotten

570
00:29:43,040 --> 00:29:44,640
Speaker 4: down I think the two forty two to forty five

571
00:29:44,680 --> 00:29:47,240
Speaker 4: and probably played, but he could also packed on five

572
00:29:47,280 --> 00:29:49,720
Speaker 4: more pounds and played on the edge. He's a really

573
00:29:49,720 --> 00:29:52,040
Speaker 4: good edge rusher at USC. I think it was his

574
00:29:52,120 --> 00:29:54,120
Speaker 4: sophomore year. He was very, very good, So you had

575
00:29:54,280 --> 00:29:56,040
Speaker 4: some options with him. But yeah, you're not seeing the

576
00:29:56,040 --> 00:29:59,719
Speaker 4: Benardri McKinney's to ted Johnson's. I mean Teddy was two fifty. Oh,

577
00:30:00,360 --> 00:30:03,360
Speaker 4: you're just not seeing that. You're not getting them from college.

578
00:30:03,360 --> 00:30:04,960
Speaker 4: What do you think Demiko's listed weight?

579
00:30:05,040 --> 00:30:09,120
Speaker 2: Woll whoa Demiko is forty.

580
00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:12,840
Speaker 1: To forty seven I have right here Pro Football Reference. Yeah,

581
00:30:12,960 --> 00:30:15,360
Speaker 1: I want to ask him about that. He seems a

582
00:30:15,480 --> 00:30:18,480
Speaker 1: little not much, but a little lighter, closer to two forty,

583
00:30:18,480 --> 00:30:20,680
Speaker 1: like you say, But certainly not one of these two

584
00:30:20,720 --> 00:30:21,200
Speaker 1: twenty eight.

585
00:30:21,280 --> 00:30:24,400
Speaker 4: No, no, no, these guys. It's just what college is

586
00:30:24,440 --> 00:30:26,840
Speaker 4: producing right now. You just look across the board. I mean,

587
00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:29,840
Speaker 4: I'm I'm I'm literally getting to linebackers. Mark from my

588
00:30:29,840 --> 00:30:32,840
Speaker 4: football Takeover and nifty Harris fifty my top fifty prospects

589
00:30:32,840 --> 00:30:36,480
Speaker 4: going into the season, and I've gotten the linebackers right

590
00:30:36,520 --> 00:30:38,480
Speaker 4: now and they're all Mark.

591
00:30:38,560 --> 00:30:40,920
Speaker 2: They're if there's one two forty.

592
00:30:41,280 --> 00:30:44,600
Speaker 4: There's one of ten guys that I'm maybe potentially looking

593
00:30:44,640 --> 00:30:46,680
Speaker 4: at to being that group forty.

594
00:30:46,760 --> 00:30:48,160
Speaker 2: Like you're going you're going down.

595
00:30:48,360 --> 00:30:50,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, it's getting a point where you can

596
00:30:50,160 --> 00:30:52,440
Speaker 4: you know, two thirty five you're playing on the edge.

597
00:30:52,680 --> 00:30:55,720
Speaker 4: You know, two point fifteen you're playing linebacker, not safety anymore.

598
00:30:55,720 --> 00:30:58,480
Speaker 4: It's crazy. I mean, Sean Taylor, my favorite players of

599
00:30:58,520 --> 00:31:01,480
Speaker 4: all time. They would have moved him down a linebacker way.

600
00:31:01,240 --> 00:31:03,120
Speaker 2: Back in the days. Yeah, he would be a linebacker

601
00:31:03,160 --> 00:31:04,320
Speaker 2: right now. All right, let's get to.

602
00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:06,520
Speaker 4: The more likely to happen more.

603
00:31:06,440 --> 00:31:08,200
Speaker 2: Likely to make the Pro Bowl this year.

604
00:31:08,560 --> 00:31:11,200
Speaker 1: They could both make it, but more likely to make

605
00:31:11,240 --> 00:31:16,760
Speaker 1: it Will Anderson Junior Derek Stingley junior. So either Derek

606
00:31:16,800 --> 00:31:20,000
Speaker 1: Stingley or Will Anderson more likely to make the Pro

607
00:31:20,120 --> 00:31:21,560
Speaker 1: Bowl in twenty twenty four.

608
00:31:22,320 --> 00:31:23,040
Speaker 2: In the AFC.

609
00:31:24,640 --> 00:31:29,960
Speaker 4: In the AFC, just thinking about corners, you're thinking about Sauce, Sauce.

610
00:31:30,120 --> 00:31:32,400
Speaker 4: You know, I was thinking about them this morning. I

611
00:31:32,440 --> 00:31:35,120
Speaker 4: was thinking about Sauce, and I was thinking about Derek Stingley.

612
00:31:35,640 --> 00:31:38,520
Speaker 4: And you know, Sauce has this cool nickname. So he's

613
00:31:38,560 --> 00:31:40,720
Speaker 4: gotten a lot of run. But over the last seven

614
00:31:40,800 --> 00:31:42,960
Speaker 4: eight games of last year. I think I think sting

615
00:31:43,120 --> 00:31:46,280
Speaker 4: was I don't say much better, but he was better

616
00:31:46,320 --> 00:31:47,680
Speaker 4: than Sauce down the stretch.

617
00:31:47,720 --> 00:31:50,800
Speaker 2: I mean, he was incredible for this team. My lead

618
00:31:50,880 --> 00:31:51,920
Speaker 2: is Stinglee because.

619
00:31:51,680 --> 00:31:53,479
Speaker 4: I'm thinking about, all right, what of the corners are

620
00:31:53,480 --> 00:31:55,560
Speaker 4: there in AFC that you you look at and go,

621
00:31:55,640 --> 00:31:58,160
Speaker 4: oh yeah, stand and have a great year last year?

622
00:31:58,160 --> 00:32:00,600
Speaker 4: But part of that was he got banged up against US.

623
00:32:00,720 --> 00:32:02,440
Speaker 4: He earned his knee against US and played through it.

624
00:32:02,480 --> 00:32:04,480
Speaker 4: Didn't play all that well. But you got Sertan, you

625
00:32:04,560 --> 00:32:08,920
Speaker 4: got Sauce and beyond, you got Christian Zalez the Patriots

626
00:32:08,960 --> 00:32:12,280
Speaker 4: if he's healthy, You've got.

627
00:32:12,320 --> 00:32:14,080
Speaker 2: Who else at corner in the AFC.

628
00:32:14,160 --> 00:32:16,080
Speaker 4: I think it's a I think it's a tougher nut

629
00:32:16,080 --> 00:32:19,320
Speaker 4: for will to crack because of the edge rushers you

630
00:32:19,320 --> 00:32:21,440
Speaker 4: have in the AFC. You know, you've got TJ. Watt,

631
00:32:22,080 --> 00:32:23,960
Speaker 4: you got Miles Garrett, you got those.

632
00:32:23,840 --> 00:32:27,320
Speaker 2: Two and Daniel Hunters now in the AFC. That's this team.

633
00:32:27,520 --> 00:32:29,800
Speaker 1: And he had sixteen and a half sacks last year.

634
00:32:30,240 --> 00:32:34,160
Speaker 1: You mentioned Garrett Crosby, Uh yeah, Max Crosby got a

635
00:32:34,160 --> 00:32:37,040
Speaker 1: brief game. It's tough to it's it's a tough nut

636
00:32:37,120 --> 00:32:39,520
Speaker 1: to crack. A defensive en. It's just that much harder.

637
00:32:39,640 --> 00:32:42,120
Speaker 4: And I think staying with a solid season could just

638
00:32:42,120 --> 00:32:44,080
Speaker 4: put himself right there at the.

639
00:32:44,040 --> 00:32:46,760
Speaker 2: Top of that group in the AFC. So I think

640
00:32:46,760 --> 00:32:47,240
Speaker 2: it's staying.

641
00:32:47,360 --> 00:32:50,400
Speaker 4: I we watched it the other day practice and he

642
00:32:50,520 --> 00:32:52,760
Speaker 4: makes a plan of speed out on a route by Diggs,

643
00:32:52,840 --> 00:32:56,240
Speaker 4: and that's stealing five yards. It's it's what the Texas

644
00:32:56,240 --> 00:32:58,520
Speaker 4: can rely on at all times because you're so scared

645
00:32:58,520 --> 00:33:00,440
Speaker 4: of speed over the top. So you're gonna get some

646
00:33:00,800 --> 00:33:03,040
Speaker 4: You're gonna get some off coverage. They're gonna give you

647
00:33:03,080 --> 00:33:06,320
Speaker 4: some separation. CJ stealing on first down. It's now second

648
00:33:06,320 --> 00:33:09,080
Speaker 4: and five. Bobby can call whatever play wants. Well, the

649
00:33:09,120 --> 00:33:12,600
Speaker 4: offense is trying to do that, and Sting jumped all

650
00:33:12,840 --> 00:33:15,920
Speaker 4: over it and knocked it away a couple of days ago.

651
00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:19,120
Speaker 4: So I think he's on the verge of of really

652
00:33:19,400 --> 00:33:25,800
Speaker 4: truly breaking through. The thing for him is he's his

653
00:33:25,960 --> 00:33:28,080
Speaker 4: play is gonna have to do it for him, because

654
00:33:28,080 --> 00:33:31,320
Speaker 4: he's not gonna sit there and talk and tweet and

655
00:33:31,480 --> 00:33:33,760
Speaker 4: tell everybody really how good he actually is.

656
00:33:33,840 --> 00:33:36,080
Speaker 2: That's not him. He's not gonna do that. You know.

657
00:33:36,440 --> 00:33:38,320
Speaker 2: Sauce is gonna mean Sauce I mean.

658
00:33:38,200 --> 00:33:40,920
Speaker 4: Sauce is always talking, he's always doing a podcast.

659
00:33:41,120 --> 00:33:42,520
Speaker 2: He's getting his name out there.

660
00:33:42,760 --> 00:33:42,880
Speaker 5: Now.

661
00:33:42,880 --> 00:33:45,840
Speaker 4: He's good. Don't get me wrong, Sauce is really really good.

662
00:33:46,480 --> 00:33:48,120
Speaker 4: Sting is gonna have to do with his play. But

663
00:33:48,160 --> 00:33:50,560
Speaker 4: his play was so good last year everybody was paying attention.

664
00:33:50,640 --> 00:33:54,120
Speaker 1: Gonna be on in prime time, Johnny Buffalo, I can't

665
00:33:55,200 --> 00:33:55,640
Speaker 1: can't wait.

666
00:33:55,720 --> 00:33:56,120
Speaker 2: The Jets.

667
00:33:56,120 --> 00:33:57,920
Speaker 1: Well, Buffalo is not a primetime game, but you get

668
00:33:57,920 --> 00:34:01,280
Speaker 1: my drisk Detroit Jets on Halloween.

669
00:34:01,520 --> 00:34:03,320
Speaker 2: He's gotts week two.

670
00:34:03,520 --> 00:34:08,239
Speaker 4: He's got high profile wide receivers that he's gonna match

671
00:34:08,360 --> 00:34:12,799
Speaker 4: up with Ceedee Lamb Tyreek and Jalen Waddle whatever. The

672
00:34:12,840 --> 00:34:15,960
Speaker 4: Chiefs are gonna have wide receiver you know, say Flowers.

673
00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:18,200
Speaker 4: If you get some of that action again, he's going

674
00:34:18,280 --> 00:34:20,920
Speaker 4: to see some really good He's gonna see Justin Jefferson,

675
00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:25,759
Speaker 4: former teammate. So he's gonna have an opportunity when those

676
00:34:25,760 --> 00:34:28,960
Speaker 4: guys come up three catches for fifteen yards. Ever was

677
00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:31,680
Speaker 4: gonna go, oh there, look what Derek Stinglely did to

678
00:34:31,719 --> 00:34:34,040
Speaker 4: those receivers. That happens all the time. So I think

679
00:34:34,080 --> 00:34:37,480
Speaker 4: that's really what's gonna propel him. I just think Will's

680
00:34:37,560 --> 00:34:39,759
Speaker 4: i think Will's gonna have a fantastic year, But there

681
00:34:39,760 --> 00:34:42,600
Speaker 4: are so many good rushers in the AFC. I think

682
00:34:42,640 --> 00:34:44,560
Speaker 4: that's gonna be harder to break through that group than

683
00:34:44,760 --> 00:34:46,360
Speaker 4: at corner for Stingling, you gonna.

684
00:34:46,160 --> 00:34:48,239
Speaker 1: Have eight nine sacks and have a fantastic keear you

685
00:34:48,280 --> 00:34:51,160
Speaker 1: get pressures, you get TFLs, you get whatever you get.

686
00:34:51,239 --> 00:34:52,040
Speaker 2: All right, let's get to this.

687
00:34:52,120 --> 00:34:53,839
Speaker 5: More likely to happen.

688
00:34:53,880 --> 00:34:57,959
Speaker 1: All right, this is an outside of the Texans question here,

689
00:34:58,520 --> 00:35:01,759
Speaker 1: we'll get back to Texans question. But more likely to

690
00:35:01,800 --> 00:35:06,440
Speaker 1: play more games in twenty twenty four. Anthony Richardson or

691
00:35:06,560 --> 00:35:10,320
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson Who is gonna play more games in twenty

692
00:35:10,360 --> 00:35:14,799
Speaker 1: twenty four? Both have shoulder slash arm issues and have

693
00:35:14,960 --> 00:35:19,440
Speaker 1: had not full schedules in OTA's and mini camp. So

694
00:35:19,600 --> 00:35:22,680
Speaker 1: who is it, Johnny who gets more starts in twenty

695
00:35:22,680 --> 00:35:24,240
Speaker 1: twenty four? Richardson or Watson?

696
00:35:24,920 --> 00:35:29,360
Speaker 4: Now, I think the decision was made to put Richardson

697
00:35:29,440 --> 00:35:33,480
Speaker 4: under the knife weeks maybe a month or so before

698
00:35:33,560 --> 00:35:36,120
Speaker 4: DeShawn went better than knif Yes, definitely earlier. So he's

699
00:35:36,120 --> 00:35:38,239
Speaker 4: got a little bit, uh, he's got a little bit

700
00:35:38,280 --> 00:35:40,760
Speaker 4: of advance a month ahead.

701
00:35:41,160 --> 00:35:43,160
Speaker 2: When you're dealing with shoulder and how much.

702
00:35:43,200 --> 00:35:48,080
Speaker 4: Torque that, especially Richardson generates on top of the fact

703
00:35:48,080 --> 00:35:50,120
Speaker 4: that he runs the ball and then gets hit on

704
00:35:50,200 --> 00:35:50,800
Speaker 4: that shoulder.

705
00:35:51,000 --> 00:35:52,160
Speaker 2: I think it's gonna be tough.

706
00:35:52,320 --> 00:35:57,160
Speaker 4: He already rested today because there was some soreness in

707
00:35:57,200 --> 00:35:58,360
Speaker 4: the shoulder and Mark.

708
00:35:59,200 --> 00:36:00,759
Speaker 2: That's not good for coach.

709
00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:05,279
Speaker 4: That's not good that he's already having some issues with

710
00:36:05,400 --> 00:36:09,400
Speaker 4: that shoulder. That that's what the surgery was supposed to do. Yeah,

711
00:36:09,480 --> 00:36:11,239
Speaker 4: and it's seemingly I don't know it's done it now

712
00:36:11,239 --> 00:36:13,560
Speaker 4: that you should be healthy by now. You should be

713
00:36:13,600 --> 00:36:17,400
Speaker 4: fully right, one hundred, ready to go by now. If

714
00:36:17,400 --> 00:36:20,359
Speaker 4: they're holding him back at this point, what's it gonna

715
00:36:20,360 --> 00:36:20,879
Speaker 4: be like in a moment?

716
00:36:20,920 --> 00:36:23,880
Speaker 2: Did they not learn anything from Andrew Luck? Yeah, I

717
00:36:23,880 --> 00:36:24,239
Speaker 2: don't know.

718
00:36:24,520 --> 00:36:29,680
Speaker 1: Look, it's it's okay with me, actually, but you might

719
00:36:29,680 --> 00:36:32,240
Speaker 1: see Flaco week one at this rate. I mean maybe

720
00:36:32,600 --> 00:36:36,600
Speaker 1: with with Watson. Here's the question, Well, when do we

721
00:36:36,640 --> 00:36:39,120
Speaker 1: play the Colts the second time? Because I'm gonna say

722
00:36:39,400 --> 00:36:42,560
Speaker 1: if before the end of October, okay, so it's relatively early.

723
00:36:42,560 --> 00:36:44,239
Speaker 1: I was gonna say if we played them at the

724
00:36:44,320 --> 00:36:45,880
Speaker 1: end of the season, and near the end of the season,

725
00:36:46,120 --> 00:36:47,839
Speaker 1: you know, we saw Flaco in Week one? Is there

726
00:36:47,880 --> 00:36:51,120
Speaker 1: a thought that we we might not play Anthony Richardson potentially?

727
00:36:51,280 --> 00:36:55,160
Speaker 1: Remember remember Marcus Mariota, Like, we didn't see Marcus Mariota

728
00:36:55,200 --> 00:36:56,680
Speaker 1: for like the first two seasons.

729
00:36:56,880 --> 00:36:59,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, he didn't see him. He was always hurt.

730
00:36:59,440 --> 00:37:02,400
Speaker 4: And then we we started seeing him in sixteen and seventeen.

731
00:37:02,000 --> 00:37:02,800
Speaker 2: A little bit here.

732
00:37:02,800 --> 00:37:04,879
Speaker 4: He's always heard, so we didn't see him in those

733
00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:05,920
Speaker 4: those couple of years.

734
00:37:05,920 --> 00:37:07,879
Speaker 2: We're like, is this dude ever gonna play against us?

735
00:37:08,080 --> 00:37:11,759
Speaker 4: So, I mean, I'm not gonna say that I'll love

736
00:37:11,840 --> 00:37:14,839
Speaker 4: seeing Joe Flacco, but with all the hype that's been

737
00:37:14,880 --> 00:37:19,200
Speaker 4: around Anthony Richardson this offseason, you better be damn sure

738
00:37:19,200 --> 00:37:21,759
Speaker 4: that that shoulder is it is right? And I don't know.

739
00:37:21,880 --> 00:37:25,480
Speaker 4: The Browns have gone the other way. The Browns have said, Deshaun,

740
00:37:25,520 --> 00:37:28,319
Speaker 4: you're gonna make these throws and that's it. He like

741
00:37:28,400 --> 00:37:30,840
Speaker 4: he's on a pitch count, a total pitch count, And

742
00:37:30,880 --> 00:37:32,480
Speaker 4: I think that's the right way to go about it.

743
00:37:33,320 --> 00:37:36,080
Speaker 4: But how strong is that shoulder gonna be? How bad

744
00:37:36,200 --> 00:37:39,000
Speaker 4: was it? I mean that's the other thing. The severity

745
00:37:39,160 --> 00:37:43,359
Speaker 4: of the injuries. They're both shoulders. One might have been

746
00:37:43,520 --> 00:37:45,399
Speaker 4: more difficult to come back from the other.

747
00:37:45,560 --> 00:37:46,000
Speaker 2: I don't know.

748
00:37:46,239 --> 00:37:49,640
Speaker 4: I'm gonna go with Watson playing more than Richardson because

749
00:37:50,719 --> 00:37:52,080
Speaker 4: Deshaun's pretty darn tough.

750
00:37:52,560 --> 00:37:54,520
Speaker 2: He's pretty tough. This is one thing we never gave

751
00:37:54,640 --> 00:37:55,040
Speaker 2: him credit for.

752
00:37:55,160 --> 00:37:59,160
Speaker 1: Second question is physical toughness. Yeah, even though they had

753
00:37:59,160 --> 00:38:01,680
Speaker 1: that one game where Tafanski said he was cleared to

754
00:38:01,719 --> 00:38:04,600
Speaker 1: play but he didn't play. But we've seen him get

755
00:38:04,800 --> 00:38:07,080
Speaker 1: rocked here and he had to collapse long and all that.

756
00:38:07,200 --> 00:38:08,960
Speaker 2: I just think he's different now though.

757
00:38:09,040 --> 00:38:11,560
Speaker 1: I think he's a different kind of player now, Yeah,

758
00:38:11,600 --> 00:38:14,680
Speaker 1: I think so things are different. So I don't know

759
00:38:14,680 --> 00:38:16,600
Speaker 1: what's going to happen there, but you pick Watson. I'm

760
00:38:16,600 --> 00:38:17,920
Speaker 1: gonna pick Watson to play more.

761
00:38:17,960 --> 00:38:19,840
Speaker 4: I just think Richardson's style is going to lead to

762
00:38:19,880 --> 00:38:21,400
Speaker 4: playing like twelve games this year.

763
00:38:21,280 --> 00:38:23,360
Speaker 2: All right, least likely to happen.

764
00:38:23,760 --> 00:38:26,600
Speaker 1: Back to the Texans, we go and starting left guard

765
00:38:26,719 --> 00:38:30,280
Speaker 1: more likely to be the guy Kenyon Green or the field.

766
00:38:30,400 --> 00:38:33,399
Speaker 1: You can pick anybody or Kenyan Green and you don't

767
00:38:33,400 --> 00:38:35,880
Speaker 1: have to pick a guy. But is Kenyon gonna hold

768
00:38:36,000 --> 00:38:39,080
Speaker 1: that down at left guard as the starter?

769
00:38:39,239 --> 00:38:41,719
Speaker 2: Now he's going injury or anything like that, I'm going

770
00:38:41,760 --> 00:38:42,359
Speaker 2: Kenny Green.

771
00:38:42,640 --> 00:38:45,680
Speaker 4: Okay, now, we we got a chance to talk to

772
00:38:45,760 --> 00:38:52,160
Speaker 4: Kenrick Green the other day, and Kendrick is ready for

773
00:38:52,400 --> 00:38:56,400
Speaker 4: training camp competition, starting position war like. He wants it.

774
00:38:56,480 --> 00:39:00,600
Speaker 4: He's ready, he wants it. He wants that position, and

775
00:39:00,920 --> 00:39:04,200
Speaker 4: he played. I'm not gonna sit here to tell you

776
00:39:04,200 --> 00:39:07,640
Speaker 4: he played, you know, a plus football, but for jumping

777
00:39:07,680 --> 00:39:10,520
Speaker 4: into a situation the way that he did in manning

778
00:39:10,560 --> 00:39:13,560
Speaker 4: that position that the Texans weren't great for the rest

779
00:39:13,600 --> 00:39:16,600
Speaker 4: of the season, and he manned it pretty well. He's

780
00:39:17,160 --> 00:39:20,000
Speaker 4: he's thinking that position's his and I love that thinking.

781
00:39:20,320 --> 00:39:21,960
Speaker 2: So I think there's gonna be a battle.

782
00:39:22,239 --> 00:39:24,239
Speaker 4: And you would think with the guy that Kenny Green

783
00:39:24,320 --> 00:39:26,640
Speaker 4: hasn't played a lot of games in the two years,

784
00:39:26,719 --> 00:39:29,440
Speaker 4: especially to play any last year, and is coming off

785
00:39:29,719 --> 00:39:33,239
Speaker 4: injury and had to kind of reshape his body. Man,

786
00:39:33,239 --> 00:39:36,279
Speaker 4: that's a lot to overcome. Kendrick's got a rehab from

787
00:39:36,320 --> 00:39:39,320
Speaker 4: the injury, but he seems ready to go. I just think,

788
00:39:39,440 --> 00:39:42,719
Speaker 4: all things considered, Kenny and Green coming back healthy in

789
00:39:42,800 --> 00:39:46,520
Speaker 4: both body and mind, I think he's gonna end up

790
00:39:46,560 --> 00:39:47,040
Speaker 4: being that guy.

791
00:39:47,080 --> 00:39:48,279
Speaker 2: And I think once he gets back in there and

792
00:39:48,320 --> 00:39:48,960
Speaker 2: he starts.

793
00:39:48,719 --> 00:39:51,400
Speaker 4: Playing, he's seen his body's healthy, and he could he

794
00:39:51,400 --> 00:39:54,520
Speaker 4: could get the blocks or execute blocks that maybe he

795
00:39:54,640 --> 00:39:57,879
Speaker 4: wasn't when he was injured or you know, playing through

796
00:39:57,880 --> 00:40:00,160
Speaker 4: the hurt. I think he's gonna realize okay, and I

797
00:40:00,160 --> 00:40:01,600
Speaker 4: think his confidence is gonna come back.

798
00:40:01,880 --> 00:40:04,520
Speaker 2: That's my hope for everything. So I'm gonna go Kenyan Green.

799
00:40:04,840 --> 00:40:09,520
Speaker 4: But that just because I'm saying Kenyan Green, I by

800
00:40:09,680 --> 00:40:13,120
Speaker 4: no means am showing no faith in the other guys.

801
00:40:13,239 --> 00:40:15,400
Speaker 4: I think guys that could be you know, guys we

802
00:40:15,440 --> 00:40:17,600
Speaker 4: didn't really talk about. Dick Broker was a rookie last

803
00:40:17,680 --> 00:40:19,759
Speaker 4: year that they claimed off of waivers who I saw

804
00:40:19,800 --> 00:40:21,040
Speaker 4: a lot of whole miss And that's the.

805
00:40:20,960 --> 00:40:22,520
Speaker 2: Guy that I think could get in there. Just do

806
00:40:22,600 --> 00:40:23,880
Speaker 2: the job, gets a lot of reps.

807
00:40:24,000 --> 00:40:27,479
Speaker 4: He gets a lot of reps Dieter Eisland, he's backup center.

808
00:40:27,520 --> 00:40:29,239
Speaker 4: I think he's got some guard reps in him. And

809
00:40:29,239 --> 00:40:32,080
Speaker 4: look what happens with Jared Patterson. I don't think ultimately

810
00:40:32,120 --> 00:40:34,000
Speaker 4: that guard is his best fit. I think center is

811
00:40:34,200 --> 00:40:36,239
Speaker 4: in the league. But if they had to rely on him,

812
00:40:36,239 --> 00:40:39,040
Speaker 4: he's played play in this league before. So I'm gonna

813
00:40:39,040 --> 00:40:40,960
Speaker 4: go Kenny Green. But the field is very very close.

814
00:40:41,200 --> 00:40:41,840
Speaker 4: Sounds good.

815
00:40:41,880 --> 00:40:45,600
Speaker 1: All right, Coming up Xavier Hutchinson, one of the many

816
00:40:45,880 --> 00:40:48,960
Speaker 1: receivers this team has at this point entering year two.

817
00:40:49,040 --> 00:40:51,600
Speaker 1: Johnny and I visit with him coming up on Texans

818
00:40:51,680 --> 00:40:54,560
Speaker 1: Radio final segment of the evening here, and it's a

819
00:40:54,560 --> 00:40:58,239
Speaker 1: good one because Xavier Hutchinson sat down in studio with

820
00:40:58,360 --> 00:41:02,800
Speaker 1: John Harris and myself as X went to Iowa State.

821
00:41:02,880 --> 00:41:04,640
Speaker 1: As you know, he had tanked Dell were two and

822
00:41:04,760 --> 00:41:07,920
Speaker 1: three in the country in the NCAA in receptions in

823
00:41:07,920 --> 00:41:11,520
Speaker 1: twenty twenty two. Obviously tank great season before it was

824
00:41:11,560 --> 00:41:14,920
Speaker 1: cut short by injury. Xavier Hutchinson found a way to

825
00:41:15,000 --> 00:41:19,960
Speaker 1: make plays. How's he doing this offseason? Let's check in X.

826
00:41:20,040 --> 00:41:22,040
Speaker 1: Mark's the spot and he's here in studio with us

827
00:41:22,120 --> 00:41:25,120
Speaker 1: right now. Okay, year two going into it, How does

828
00:41:25,120 --> 00:41:28,040
Speaker 1: it feel so far? Because you've got that rookie year

829
00:41:28,200 --> 00:41:29,120
Speaker 1: stuff behind you.

830
00:41:29,320 --> 00:41:33,399
Speaker 6: Yeah, it it feels terrific. Honestly, it's a lot better now.

831
00:41:33,440 --> 00:41:36,400
Speaker 6: I'm more comfortable, I'm more confident, and you know, I

832
00:41:36,480 --> 00:41:37,799
Speaker 6: kind of just know what I have to do on

833
00:41:37,880 --> 00:41:40,279
Speaker 6: and off the field. You know, that's always a good

834
00:41:40,280 --> 00:41:41,320
Speaker 6: spot to be at mentally.

835
00:41:41,560 --> 00:41:45,000
Speaker 4: So last year X coach slowig it seemed was creating

836
00:41:45,040 --> 00:41:47,759
Speaker 4: ways to get you involved in your offense. I would stay,

837
00:41:47,800 --> 00:41:49,719
Speaker 4: they would find you ways to get you the ball,

838
00:41:49,760 --> 00:41:51,839
Speaker 4: but they weren't tossing it to you. They weren't hating

839
00:41:51,880 --> 00:41:53,560
Speaker 4: it to you. You were doing the jet sweeps and

840
00:41:53,600 --> 00:41:55,480
Speaker 4: the push passes and those kind of things. How'd you

841
00:41:55,560 --> 00:41:57,719
Speaker 4: kind of adapt to that role and how did you

842
00:41:57,840 --> 00:41:59,319
Speaker 4: like that role for yourself last year?

843
00:41:59,440 --> 00:42:02,279
Speaker 7: Yeah? I think it was easily. It was easy to

844
00:42:02,320 --> 00:42:03,320
Speaker 7: adapt to it. Honestly.

845
00:42:04,080 --> 00:42:05,640
Speaker 6: You know, as a football player, you just kind of

846
00:42:05,640 --> 00:42:07,160
Speaker 6: sometimes just want the ball in your hands.

847
00:42:08,200 --> 00:42:09,279
Speaker 7: And that's what Bobby did.

848
00:42:09,680 --> 00:42:11,600
Speaker 6: You know, I had earned the trust of the coaches

849
00:42:11,600 --> 00:42:13,759
Speaker 6: and the players on the team to be able to

850
00:42:13,760 --> 00:42:16,560
Speaker 6: get that position, and really, you know, from that point

851
00:42:16,600 --> 00:42:18,200
Speaker 6: it was really just you know, how can I help

852
00:42:18,200 --> 00:42:20,359
Speaker 6: this team win? And if that's the way that could

853
00:42:20,360 --> 00:42:22,879
Speaker 6: help the team win on you know, special plays, Uh,

854
00:42:22,920 --> 00:42:24,239
Speaker 6: then you know I was gonna try and do that

855
00:42:24,280 --> 00:42:25,880
Speaker 6: to my to my fullest potential.

856
00:42:26,360 --> 00:42:29,360
Speaker 7: And what was the second one? Sorry, you're good, No,

857
00:42:29,719 --> 00:42:30,319
Speaker 7: you handled it.

858
00:42:30,440 --> 00:42:33,600
Speaker 1: So what about what about the receiving room X? Because

859
00:42:33,600 --> 00:42:35,480
Speaker 1: you have so much talent in there, what are you

860
00:42:35,560 --> 00:42:37,960
Speaker 1: learning from all the guys? How is it being part

861
00:42:38,000 --> 00:42:40,040
Speaker 1: of that environment with the other definitely.

862
00:42:40,800 --> 00:42:43,319
Speaker 6: Man, it's amazing, honestly to have that many different type

863
00:42:43,320 --> 00:42:46,240
Speaker 6: of receivers in the room. When you just look across,

864
00:42:46,280 --> 00:42:48,080
Speaker 6: you have every single type of receiver that you could

865
00:42:48,120 --> 00:42:50,840
Speaker 6: possibly want in the room. You got the bigger bodies

866
00:42:50,880 --> 00:42:53,399
Speaker 6: like Nico, and then you got like the route techs

867
00:42:53,480 --> 00:42:54,840
Speaker 6: like Tank, and then you just kind of have the

868
00:42:54,880 --> 00:42:58,360
Speaker 6: in between player like Steph. You know, you got Woods.

869
00:42:58,600 --> 00:43:01,080
Speaker 6: But you know, I'm really just learning a lot. I'm

870
00:43:01,080 --> 00:43:03,960
Speaker 6: really learning. You know, they do what they excel out

871
00:43:04,000 --> 00:43:06,160
Speaker 6: the best. They don't try to be a different receiver.

872
00:43:06,600 --> 00:43:09,040
Speaker 6: They just try to be themselves and that's what's carried

873
00:43:09,040 --> 00:43:11,120
Speaker 6: them to this point. So you know, I'm really just

874
00:43:11,160 --> 00:43:14,200
Speaker 6: trying to do the same, finding my lane and then

875
00:43:14,239 --> 00:43:15,880
Speaker 6: just working on my craft in that lane.

876
00:43:16,120 --> 00:43:18,840
Speaker 4: Expert were talking to Tank a few a few months ago,

877
00:43:19,200 --> 00:43:21,120
Speaker 4: and one of the things we asked was about that

878
00:43:21,200 --> 00:43:25,120
Speaker 4: rookie adjustment and he was like, oh, man, the playbook, Holy.

879
00:43:24,880 --> 00:43:27,879
Speaker 2: Cal How was it learning the playbook for the first time?

880
00:43:28,040 --> 00:43:28,520
Speaker 2: Was that tough?

881
00:43:28,560 --> 00:43:30,000
Speaker 4: Do you just have to kind of dive in and

882
00:43:30,200 --> 00:43:32,440
Speaker 4: spend weekends memorizing it? How was it kind of learning

883
00:43:32,480 --> 00:43:33,480
Speaker 4: this offense.

884
00:43:33,120 --> 00:43:35,400
Speaker 6: For years of rookie Nah, it was definitely tough. You know,

885
00:43:35,560 --> 00:43:37,960
Speaker 6: I had took some hits early on in the playbook.

886
00:43:38,719 --> 00:43:40,400
Speaker 6: You know, it took me some time to get adjusted

887
00:43:40,400 --> 00:43:42,320
Speaker 6: to it, to be able to hear it in the huddle.

888
00:43:42,560 --> 00:43:44,120
Speaker 7: You know, that was different for me. Never heard it

889
00:43:44,160 --> 00:43:45,479
Speaker 7: in the huddle before until now.

890
00:43:46,160 --> 00:43:47,920
Speaker 6: But you know, other than that, really just trying to

891
00:43:47,920 --> 00:43:50,400
Speaker 6: get the plays down and not going out there with

892
00:43:50,480 --> 00:43:54,719
Speaker 6: a full head, just overthinking basically. And once I got

893
00:43:54,800 --> 00:43:56,719
Speaker 6: kind of past that, I felt like on the field,

894
00:43:56,719 --> 00:43:58,319
Speaker 6: I started to do a lot better and I started

895
00:43:58,320 --> 00:43:59,120
Speaker 6: excelling a lot more.

896
00:43:59,200 --> 00:43:59,839
Speaker 2: Along those lines.

897
00:44:00,000 --> 00:44:01,800
Speaker 4: One of the things I remember was after one of

898
00:44:01,840 --> 00:44:03,719
Speaker 4: the I think it was a training camp practice. I

899
00:44:03,760 --> 00:44:06,480
Speaker 4: remember you in Case you were just running like hitch

900
00:44:06,560 --> 00:44:08,440
Speaker 4: routes for him, you guys, and he was kind of

901
00:44:08,480 --> 00:44:10,799
Speaker 4: instructing you as you were doing it. So you have

902
00:44:10,880 --> 00:44:12,600
Speaker 4: your coaching staff, you have players in the room, but

903
00:44:12,600 --> 00:44:14,719
Speaker 4: you also have a guy that Case and the quarterbacks

904
00:44:15,000 --> 00:44:17,359
Speaker 4: kind of helping young guys out. What does that mean

905
00:44:17,400 --> 00:44:19,160
Speaker 4: to you? Case spending that time and kind of teaching

906
00:44:19,160 --> 00:44:19,879
Speaker 4: you along the way.

907
00:44:20,040 --> 00:44:22,880
Speaker 6: Man, it really just showed, you know, his leadership and

908
00:44:23,000 --> 00:44:25,000
Speaker 6: a guy who's been in the league for a long time.

909
00:44:25,320 --> 00:44:28,239
Speaker 6: You can always pick a guy's brain like Case. It

910
00:44:28,280 --> 00:44:30,600
Speaker 6: never hurts. But just to have Case be able to

911
00:44:30,640 --> 00:44:33,479
Speaker 6: take that time aside, I felt like it really helped

912
00:44:33,520 --> 00:44:36,200
Speaker 6: me confident wise, and just you know, you know, there's

913
00:44:36,200 --> 00:44:39,279
Speaker 6: a quarterback in the room who believes in me, and

914
00:44:39,320 --> 00:44:41,719
Speaker 6: you know he knows he's uh, you know, he trust me.

915
00:44:41,880 --> 00:44:44,239
Speaker 6: So you know that that was huge for me and

916
00:44:44,320 --> 00:44:46,920
Speaker 6: hopefully you know I helped Case in whatever way I could.

917
00:44:47,000 --> 00:44:49,799
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, So I always state, how is it

918
00:44:49,840 --> 00:44:52,800
Speaker 1: going to be this year for them and the Big Twelve?

919
00:44:52,920 --> 00:44:55,400
Speaker 2: I know it's different. Is there any kind of resentment?

920
00:44:55,480 --> 00:44:57,840
Speaker 1: How do you feel about the future of college football

921
00:44:57,880 --> 00:45:00,840
Speaker 1: and your university, your alma ma being a part of it.

922
00:45:01,000 --> 00:45:03,880
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, to be honest with you, it's a

923
00:45:03,880 --> 00:45:07,160
Speaker 6: great transformation period for college football, which I kind of like.

924
00:45:07,600 --> 00:45:09,719
Speaker 6: It's different. It's not, you know, the same old thing.

925
00:45:10,400 --> 00:45:12,640
Speaker 6: As far as Iowa State though, Man, I'm excited for him.

926
00:45:13,120 --> 00:45:15,080
Speaker 6: We've been close to, you know, hosting up that Big

927
00:45:15,080 --> 00:45:17,880
Speaker 6: Twelve championship at least just one time. I know we

928
00:45:17,920 --> 00:45:20,880
Speaker 6: had aspirations for more, but you know, I like the

929
00:45:20,920 --> 00:45:23,120
Speaker 6: way he's looking right now for us. There's still some

930
00:45:23,160 --> 00:45:26,640
Speaker 6: tough teams in the Big twelve. But man, you know,

931
00:45:26,680 --> 00:45:28,279
Speaker 6: I'm always rue for Ile State and I'm gonna be

932
00:45:28,280 --> 00:45:29,640
