1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,800
Speaker 1: Hello, Texans, Welcome to the program. It's episode two, season

2
00:00:03,840 --> 00:00:06,760
Speaker 1: twelve of Texans Radio. Texans All Access. Mark Vandermayer and

3
00:00:06,840 --> 00:00:09,400
Speaker 1: John Harris with you in the Hunday Texans Radio Studio

4
00:00:09,480 --> 00:00:14,120
Speaker 1: right here at NRG Stadium, which is transforming into Rodeo Stadium,

5
00:00:14,240 --> 00:00:17,720
Speaker 1: but always home of your Texans, Johnny, many Texans working out.

6
00:00:17,760 --> 00:00:21,560
Speaker 1: They've started this. It's not the offseason workout program officially,

7
00:00:21,840 --> 00:00:24,320
Speaker 1: but a lot of guys just like to work out here. Yeah, absolutely,

8
00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:26,640
Speaker 1: I would. So Mike Ubanks is working out the guys

9
00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:30,000
Speaker 1: and they're throwing the medicine balls against the wall today.

10
00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:32,200
Speaker 1: They're doing that thing. I keep thinking they're gonna knock

11
00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:35,560
Speaker 1: the wall down. Eventually happened, not the wall being knocked out,

12
00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:39,440
Speaker 1: what like a brick getting knocked loose. Yes, I can't

13
00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:42,640
Speaker 1: don't quote me in the year, but I remember walking by, going, man,

14
00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:46,240
Speaker 1: what happened there? Oh? Yeah, medicine ball throws. That's awesome.

15
00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:50,080
Speaker 1: They did that. Yeah, you know, they the rumor it

16
00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:52,319
Speaker 1: was wolf work, but I don't know, could have been,

17
00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:55,080
Speaker 1: could have been. So for those who don't know, they

18
00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:57,600
Speaker 1: take the medicine balls and they heave them into the

19
00:00:57,640 --> 00:01:01,360
Speaker 1: wall and they twist and pivot, tour can hips and

20
00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:06,240
Speaker 1: core muscles or whatever. But those balls, those medicine balls

21
00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:09,560
Speaker 1: are flying against the wall. I'll just stop now. Anyway,

22
00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:13,000
Speaker 1: let's let's do this. We promised we'd do it. We

23
00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:15,720
Speaker 1: taught quarterbacks in the draft last night. That's gonna be

24
00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:18,880
Speaker 1: a recurring theme throughout the entire off season up until

25
00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:22,000
Speaker 1: the draft, right, interesting and then what happens to those guys?

26
00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:25,119
Speaker 1: And we talked about it last night. You had Bryce Young,

27
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:27,920
Speaker 1: c J. Stroud, and Will Levis one, two, three with

28
00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:33,040
Speaker 1: Anthon and four. As far as the quarterback rankings go, right, yeah, right, yeah,

29
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:36,600
Speaker 1: Hooker close. Five, Hooker's gonna be five. Jake Haner six.

30
00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:39,120
Speaker 1: Those are my six, okay. And Jake is from Fresno

31
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:43,800
Speaker 1: State state all right, so Fresno SI pounds. He can

32
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:49,360
Speaker 1: sling it. He's he's fun. I I really, I just

33
00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:51,280
Speaker 1: I want to see him get a shot in the NFL.

34
00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:53,040
Speaker 1: And I wouldn't mind seeing it here, all right. So

35
00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:55,760
Speaker 1: he's a senior Bowl guy, right right? So was he

36
00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:57,640
Speaker 1: the MVP of that game or he was the MVP

37
00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:00,520
Speaker 1: of the game. He was also I thought he was

38
00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:02,320
Speaker 1: the MVP of the week. And I've said this before

39
00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:05,040
Speaker 1: about the Senior Bowl. Much as I love the Senior Bowl,

40
00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:08,760
Speaker 1: whenever you get to team periods, it turns into a

41
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:14,560
Speaker 1: cluster bleep because if quarterbacks taking center exchanges and they've

42
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:18,720
Speaker 1: been in gunned the whole their whole career cadences, different

43
00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:21,799
Speaker 1: balls are flying everywhere. I mean, the offense does nothing,

44
00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:25,480
Speaker 1: especially in the passing game, because now these quarterbacks are

45
00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:29,000
Speaker 1: trying to figure out where the receivers are going. You're

46
00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:33,040
Speaker 1: playing pretty scaled down stuff. Defensively, there's just nothing there.

47
00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:36,600
Speaker 1: Guys are just taking checkdowns and it's checked down Charlie Olympics.

48
00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:39,880
Speaker 1: Haner got in there and it was not that he

49
00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:42,239
Speaker 1: was dealing, and it wasn't always perfect. He missed a

50
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:44,600
Speaker 1: couple of deep balls, but when he got in there,

51
00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:49,280
Speaker 1: the offense and the passing game in particular actually worked

52
00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:52,920
Speaker 1: and actually moved the ball, and he actually took some

53
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:56,400
Speaker 1: shots in the intermediate areas. He ripped a couple of

54
00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:58,640
Speaker 1: Max Duggan ripped a couple of throws. Going back and

55
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:03,840
Speaker 1: watching practice after, you know, last week, Max made some

56
00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:06,400
Speaker 1: really good throws and he's kind of built like Jake is.

57
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:09,240
Speaker 1: But I think Jake has got better throwing acumen than

58
00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:12,640
Speaker 1: Max does, but the offense actually moved, it worked. I

59
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:15,320
Speaker 1: was like, wow, I so really have seen that the

60
00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:17,280
Speaker 1: Senior Bowl, and that was when Hanner would get under

61
00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:19,040
Speaker 1: center or in the shotgun or whatever it is. So

62
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:21,839
Speaker 1: he's a guy, and that's not just that He's got

63
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:24,920
Speaker 1: plenty of talent, and I've seen at Fresno State, but

64
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:27,560
Speaker 1: to see that at the Senior Bowl, that's pretty in

65
00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:29,760
Speaker 1: press Because I've seen Josh Allen, I've seen Baker Mayfield,

66
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:31,840
Speaker 1: I've seen every quarterback, Dak Prescott's seen him all go

67
00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:34,360
Speaker 1: to the Senior Bowl and it all looks horrible the

68
00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:36,880
Speaker 1: first day and a lot of them into the second day.

69
00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:40,720
Speaker 1: Hanner it looks solid throughout, and I think that's something

70
00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:42,960
Speaker 1: that obviously once you got to the game. He throws

71
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:45,520
Speaker 1: the only touchdown where accounts for the only touchdown, and

72
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:47,360
Speaker 1: he ends up being the MVP. I think a lot

73
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:51,120
Speaker 1: of teams have already looked at Jake Hanner and they're

74
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:53,320
Speaker 1: now the rest of the public is saying, oh man,

75
00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:55,520
Speaker 1: what about Jake Hanner. Oh yeah, Jake Haner was in

76
00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:59,360
Speaker 1: my two twenty twenty one Harris one hundred because he

77
00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:00,760
Speaker 1: thought he was coming. I thought he was coming out.

78
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:02,760
Speaker 1: I thought he was coming out, so he's I could

79
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:05,080
Speaker 1: feel it already. He's one of those guys. He's gonna

80
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:09,600
Speaker 1: climb the draft boards stock up. Of course, these draft

81
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:12,360
Speaker 1: boards are all people who really aren't in NFL stadium

82
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:14,960
Speaker 1: except for you. You You are in an NFL stadium, but

83
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:17,960
Speaker 1: your draft board is said necessarily the same as Nick.

84
00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:20,520
Speaker 1: I have said this many any times. I said it

85
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:22,560
Speaker 1: the other night when I was talking to to FIGG

86
00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:28,320
Speaker 1: and Ryan. I purposely do not ask them, and by them,

87
00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:30,279
Speaker 1: I mean over the years where there's Bill O'Brien, Brian

88
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:33,960
Speaker 1: gain Rick Smith, I do not ask them about prospects

89
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:36,360
Speaker 1: yo at all. Yeah, because they're not at the way

90
00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:39,400
Speaker 1: you stay you and they stay them. And it doesn't

91
00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:41,920
Speaker 1: so if I write something, if I write something right

92
00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:46,560
Speaker 1: or wrong, when I'm right or wrong whatever, it's my opinion,

93
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:48,720
Speaker 1: I haven't gotten it from them and they repurposed it.

94
00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:51,360
Speaker 1: I haven't seen something and they're like, oh I told

95
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:52,880
Speaker 1: you about that. No, no no, no, no, no, yeah. These

96
00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:54,840
Speaker 1: are all these eyes in this mind doing it. It's

97
00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:56,360
Speaker 1: the only way to do what we do here. It's

98
00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:58,120
Speaker 1: the only way, by the way, Nick as Sarrio on

99
00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:02,000
Speaker 1: the show tomorrow six o'clock, Nick Cassario, General manager of

100
00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:05,240
Speaker 1: your Houston Texans. And also we will give away another

101
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:08,679
Speaker 1: HIB gift card tonight. About that give away another HIB

102
00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:11,440
Speaker 1: gift card within the next twenty twenty five minutes, So

103
00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:14,360
Speaker 1: remind me to do that. Okay, all right, because last

104
00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:16,880
Speaker 1: night you didn't actually actually you did early on, so

105
00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:19,120
Speaker 1: I'll give you did for that verbio. I'm supposed to

106
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:21,039
Speaker 1: remind you of it, and then I forgot. You brought

107
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:24,160
Speaker 1: up Fresno State. And it's interesting because a guy who

108
00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:26,560
Speaker 1: went to Friendsno State, Derek Carr, could be in playing

109
00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:29,920
Speaker 1: the quarterback carousel and it's time to spin the wheel.

110
00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:32,680
Speaker 1: Let's go. Where are they going? I'm gonna let you

111
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:35,440
Speaker 1: kind of drive this thing, all right, so you tell me,

112
00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:37,880
Speaker 1: because we do this every year. Let me here's what

113
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:40,960
Speaker 1: we'll do. I'll spin the wheel, see what NFL team

114
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:43,400
Speaker 1: it lands on, and we will figure out who the

115
00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:46,240
Speaker 1: quarterback will be for that team. Okay, twenty twenty three

116
00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:48,800
Speaker 1: and potentially beyond. All right, so if we had one

117
00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:51,480
Speaker 1: of those wheel spinning things we do we do. Go ahead, okay,

118
00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:56,599
Speaker 1: spin the wheel, all right, there it is, Okay, did

119
00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:02,560
Speaker 1: the New York Giants, the New York everbody wants to

120
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:05,640
Speaker 1: talk about the Jets, let's go New York Giants. We'll

121
00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:08,560
Speaker 1: start there because that one's kind of easy. Well, Daniel

122
00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:10,320
Speaker 1: Jones is a free agent to be is free agent

123
00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:13,160
Speaker 1: to be. Now, since they didn't pick up the fifth year,

124
00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:16,080
Speaker 1: they cannot franchise him, right, correct, They don't get that

125
00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:19,560
Speaker 1: privilege of franchising a guy, and they're probably thinking, darn it,

126
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:21,880
Speaker 1: because it would be nice to have one more year

127
00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:24,560
Speaker 1: to make sure that what you saw that you liked

128
00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:28,839
Speaker 1: is actually gonna stick. Correct. Do they offer him a

129
00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:31,840
Speaker 1: long term deal or do they do they spend the

130
00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:34,000
Speaker 1: wheel and take a chance on a free agent or

131
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:35,839
Speaker 1: a draft choice. I'm gonna say they're going to offer

132
00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:37,960
Speaker 1: him a deal. Daniel Jones stays in New York. I

133
00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:39,800
Speaker 1: think that's true too. I think Daniel Jones stays in

134
00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:41,960
Speaker 1: New York. All Right, it's been a wheel and he

135
00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:45,760
Speaker 1: knows that. Daniel Jones, by the way, knows that he's

136
00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:48,719
Speaker 1: not gonna get bank breaking money anywhere in this league.

137
00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:51,240
Speaker 1: But it's not going to be that cheap because there

138
00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:52,760
Speaker 1: are a lot of teams that are looking for quarterbacks

139
00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:55,040
Speaker 1: and he could possibly find something Okay. Now, the next

140
00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:57,839
Speaker 1: one I'm gonna ask you about. My assumption is it's

141
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:01,760
Speaker 1: a draft pick. You can say draft pick if you want. Okay,

142
00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:03,479
Speaker 1: you don't have to tell me who the draft pick is,

143
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:05,839
Speaker 1: all right, you can tell me draft pick if you want,

144
00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:08,240
Speaker 1: or a free agent. There's a free agent. Try and

145
00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:11,120
Speaker 1: paint it down. Okay, I spend the wheel and the

146
00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:13,880
Speaker 1: Indianapolis Colts have a new coach as of today, it's

147
00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:17,320
Speaker 1: Shane stike In who is the Indianapolis Colts quarterback in

148
00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:22,200
Speaker 1: twenty twenty three? Matt rut just kidding Ellinger. No, you

149
00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:25,760
Speaker 1: can't go into the season with Ellinger. You just can't

150
00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:30,040
Speaker 1: do it. I wonder if they saw something they liked. Well,

151
00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:32,440
Speaker 1: who knows what Stiken is thinking, you know, and Chris

152
00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:36,040
Speaker 1: Ballard obviously has a big opinion on this. I wonder

153
00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:39,280
Speaker 1: if they saw enough where they think, let's draft a

154
00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:43,880
Speaker 1: guy and maybe at four and have them fight it out,

155
00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:45,760
Speaker 1: or maybe we draft a guy of the second round

156
00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:47,840
Speaker 1: and have them fight it out, maybe we don't have

157
00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:51,400
Speaker 1: to pick one that high, or maybe how about this.

158
00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:54,240
Speaker 1: Everyone's assuming the Colts, not everyone. A lot of people

159
00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:56,360
Speaker 1: assume the Cults are gonna move up to number one,

160
00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:58,760
Speaker 1: try to anyway with the Bears and take Bryce Young

161
00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:01,480
Speaker 1: or c J. Stroude right there. What about the Cults

162
00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:07,960
Speaker 1: trading down? Ah? Not. They trade down and pick up

163
00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:11,760
Speaker 1: Richardson or somebody like that, or your guy from Fresno State,

164
00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:15,320
Speaker 1: and then they have Ellinger and him fight it out

165
00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:18,239
Speaker 1: with maybe another Nick Foles type veteran in the mix.

166
00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:21,920
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say, though, I'm gonna say they draft a guy.

167
00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:23,800
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say the Cult are gonna draft a quarterback.

168
00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:25,360
Speaker 1: I think it's got to be a draft pick. Had

169
00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:33,880
Speaker 1: they not done the Philip Rivers, Carson Wentz, Matt Ryan Old, Yeah, exactly,

170
00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:37,640
Speaker 1: the holy Trinity of quarterbacking. I think they might have

171
00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:40,439
Speaker 1: taken a shot on Derek Carr. I could see that.

172
00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:44,559
Speaker 1: But ironically, Sam Ellinger might fit with what Sean with

173
00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:48,160
Speaker 1: Shanestyer was doing with the Eagles with Jalen Hurts. Sam

174
00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:51,040
Speaker 1: might fit that, But I don't know. I can't I

175
00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:54,200
Speaker 1: can't say I think it's a draft pick too. You

176
00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:57,600
Speaker 1: bring up an interesting point about trading down. Yes, here's

177
00:08:57,600 --> 00:09:01,400
Speaker 1: the problem though, knowing that there are four guys, here's

178
00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:03,680
Speaker 1: what I could see them doing, and I think it's

179
00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:05,560
Speaker 1: interesting at this point to look at who are the

180
00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:10,679
Speaker 1: free agents at quarterback? Is mar Jackson, Daniel Jones, right,

181
00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:14,720
Speaker 1: Tom Brady retired, Geno Smith is a free agent. Jacoby

182
00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:16,600
Speaker 1: Brissette is a free agent now the Coats, I don't

183
00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:22,199
Speaker 1: think go back into those waters. Jimmy Garoppolo, Sam Darnold,

184
00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:26,480
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield, Mike White with the Jets, Teddy Bridgewater and

185
00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:30,280
Speaker 1: you don't bring those guys up because I think you're

186
00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:36,040
Speaker 1: playing about maybe trading down might be something. The funny

187
00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:39,400
Speaker 1: thing is there a like brick Smith when he was

188
00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:41,640
Speaker 1: here as a GM, he was seemingly always a trade

189
00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:43,559
Speaker 1: doown guy. So in twenty seventeen, everybody's like, well he

190
00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:45,360
Speaker 1: trade up when he tried. Like me, he's a trade

191
00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:47,600
Speaker 1: doown guy. Like you get labeled like you're a trade

192
00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:50,120
Speaker 1: doown guy. You're you know, you're a trades guy. Like

193
00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:52,240
Speaker 1: Ballard's a trades guy. He traded up one spot to

194
00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:55,000
Speaker 1: get Will Fuller. Yeah, I mean exactly, I get what

195
00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:57,400
Speaker 1: you're saying. Right, the most part, the most part throughout

196
00:09:57,400 --> 00:09:58,840
Speaker 1: his career is a trade doown guy. And then also

197
00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:02,079
Speaker 1: Boom traded up went and got Sean Watson. Ballard is

198
00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:05,920
Speaker 1: a traits guy. But he's made he's made deals before.

199
00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:07,560
Speaker 1: He's not he's not scared to do it. I mean,

200
00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:09,840
Speaker 1: he gave up first four to fourth Buckner. But he's

201
00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:12,400
Speaker 1: gonna do it, and this is a thing. He's gonna

202
00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:15,280
Speaker 1: do it for a guy with some traits. So if

203
00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:17,600
Speaker 1: for some reason Will Levis ended up falling down a

204
00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:19,599
Speaker 1: little bit in the draft, and you know, maybe he

205
00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:21,320
Speaker 1: might get him at number four, I don't. I don't know.

206
00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:23,880
Speaker 1: He ballards the trades guy and all see how that

207
00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:26,520
Speaker 1: that jibs with Shane Stekin. But I do think it's

208
00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:30,800
Speaker 1: a draft pick in Indianapolis. All right, let's spend hang

209
00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:33,640
Speaker 1: on before you spin mentioned the free agent quarterbacks, did

210
00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:36,280
Speaker 1: you say Derek Carr? Well, as of today he is.

211
00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:38,840
Speaker 1: So today he is my free agent listeners to have

212
00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:40,520
Speaker 1: him because I got this from a week ago. I

213
00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:44,320
Speaker 1: got you so, Derek Carr. You wonder what that's gonna

214
00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:46,760
Speaker 1: command on the open market. But I just want to

215
00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:48,559
Speaker 1: add him to this list. Yeah, yeah, we gotta have

216
00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:51,440
Speaker 1: him unless we continue to look forward and let me

217
00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:55,160
Speaker 1: ask you this, guys available through trade? Did you have

218
00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:58,880
Speaker 1: a Baker on this list too? All right, are either

219
00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:01,640
Speaker 1: of the forty nine or I'm assuming Purty is not,

220
00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:05,040
Speaker 1: but is Trey Lance going to be available via trade?

221
00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:08,439
Speaker 1: I don't know what the forty nine because the last

222
00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:12,760
Speaker 1: I read about Brock Purty was that he tore his UCL.

223
00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:17,720
Speaker 1: That's an injury that happens in baseball, and guys go

224
00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:19,600
Speaker 1: out and get Tommy John surgery. And so the last

225
00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:21,960
Speaker 1: I read, he was having Tommy John surgery, which would

226
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:25,840
Speaker 1: shelve him for all of twenty twenty three. Now I've

227
00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:28,720
Speaker 1: seen that, but I I know if I don't know

228
00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:30,840
Speaker 1: if that's months, why do I have six months on

229
00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:32,880
Speaker 1: the burn? I don't know. Maybe it is six months.

230
00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:34,400
Speaker 1: I thought initially it was six months, but then I

231
00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:37,120
Speaker 1: saw it was Tommy John, So I don't know either way.

232
00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:40,640
Speaker 1: How about them though, back to back off seasons with

233
00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:44,960
Speaker 1: your quarterback, your starter has this injury that's not going

234
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:47,120
Speaker 1: to get better. It's one thing to have the quarterback injured,

235
00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:49,200
Speaker 1: but it's so great when they can be back for

236
00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:52,080
Speaker 1: trading camp and maybe OTAs. That'd be great for whatever

237
00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:54,840
Speaker 1: franchise we're talking about here. Back to back off seasons

238
00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:58,040
Speaker 1: where the guy's not ready for camp, Yeah, that's awful

239
00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:01,240
Speaker 1: or barely ready okast So if you're the San Francisco

240
00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:03,000
Speaker 1: forty nine ers, I mean you got to do something

241
00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:07,760
Speaker 1: because Garoppolo is free agent. Josh Johnson's a free agent,

242
00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:10,240
Speaker 1: and he was he was there as a no he's

243
00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:12,240
Speaker 1: not going no, no, no no, no, I mean he's But

244
00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:16,200
Speaker 1: my point being, if Trey Lance is coming back but

245
00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:19,200
Speaker 1: he's not ready, Perdie's not gonna be ready, is what

246
00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:21,199
Speaker 1: are you doing in the off season. Is Trey Lance

247
00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:23,280
Speaker 1: not gonna be ready for opening day or no? I

248
00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:26,079
Speaker 1: think I think Trey Lance would be ready for opening Day?

249
00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:28,360
Speaker 1: But what are you doing? OTAs in mini camp? You'll

250
00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:31,520
Speaker 1: get a guy, You'll get a guy, they'll get a

251
00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:35,400
Speaker 1: couple of guys, they'll get the Shanahan type quarterback going.

252
00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:37,480
Speaker 1: So you're gonna use those OTAs in mini camps with

253
00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:40,400
Speaker 1: just a guy? I mean, I don't know. That's a

254
00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:42,720
Speaker 1: great question. They've been through a lot of that position.

255
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:44,400
Speaker 1: Let me let me throw one at you, all right,

256
00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:46,720
Speaker 1: go ahead, let me throw one at you. One year,

257
00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:54,440
Speaker 1: thirty million dollars. Derek Carr for San Francisco, curious to

258
00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:58,160
Speaker 1: know what they really think. You know, they have the

259
00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:02,240
Speaker 1: money I would suppose to spend at that position. Because

260
00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:05,080
Speaker 1: Lance is a high draft pick. Garoppolo's gone. Not on

261
00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:08,800
Speaker 1: your books anymore, right, parties, mister irrelevant. I don't know

262
00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:11,880
Speaker 1: what the cap space situation is, but let's just put

263
00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:14,800
Speaker 1: all that aside. Do they like him enough to do

264
00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:16,920
Speaker 1: that in that offense? I would think he would thrive.

265
00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:18,840
Speaker 1: I would think he would thrive exactly. I'm wondering what

266
00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:22,480
Speaker 1: they're thinking here. Yeah about that, absolutely, I'm wondering if

267
00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:25,439
Speaker 1: that's on the brain here. And look, I'm sure they

268
00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:28,480
Speaker 1: talk about all possibilities here. What about this guy? What

269
00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:31,000
Speaker 1: about that Guy'll you'd be crazy, not too right. I mean,

270
00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:33,520
Speaker 1: I'm just looking at the list. I'm looking at the

271
00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:36,600
Speaker 1: list of fridgent quarterbacks. Now. One of them is Nick Mullins,

272
00:13:36,679 --> 00:13:38,920
Speaker 1: and he had some success in San Francisco. I would

273
00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:41,439
Speaker 1: imagine that Nick Mullins goes back out to San Francisco

274
00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:44,320
Speaker 1: as a fail safe. As just he's a guy that

275
00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:49,720
Speaker 1: knows it. Best nickname in the history of quarterbacks. Mall Santa,

276
00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:54,720
Speaker 1: I love him, all Santa, I like it. I would

277
00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:57,400
Speaker 1: think he goes back out to San Francisco. CJ. Bethard

278
00:13:57,400 --> 00:13:59,679
Speaker 1: has been out there. I think they'll find a guy.

279
00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:02,000
Speaker 1: I just I mean, if I'm a scene, if I'm

280
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:04,960
Speaker 1: a forty nine er, I'm looking around, going man cost

281
00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:08,840
Speaker 1: me an MC championship game in twenty one because Jimmy

282
00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:12,520
Speaker 1: doesn't do anything twenty two and lose all my quarterbacks.

283
00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:15,640
Speaker 1: And I can't do anything in Philadelphia because I've got

284
00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:17,680
Speaker 1: to play a guy with a torn ucl at quarterback

285
00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:19,520
Speaker 1: in the second half, you can't throw at five yards.

286
00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:22,480
Speaker 1: I mean, you gotta feel almost snake bitten in some

287
00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:25,600
Speaker 1: sts because that team is built to win a Super

288
00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:29,640
Speaker 1: Bowl yesterday and they just have no luck at quarterback. Yeah,

289
00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:32,520
Speaker 1: and they're gonna whatever they do, They're gonna load up

290
00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:35,680
Speaker 1: with three guys who could possibly play. Absolutely, they're gonna

291
00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:38,800
Speaker 1: load up. They've learned the hard way, and I think

292
00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:41,200
Speaker 1: all teams need to learn this too, that you better

293
00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:44,840
Speaker 1: be confident that your backup can do suckers, no doubt.

294
00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:46,960
Speaker 1: It'd be interesting to go through all thirty two teams

295
00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:51,560
Speaker 1: and find one or find any of them where the

296
00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:55,040
Speaker 1: where the starter played all seventeen games, And they're probably

297
00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:59,000
Speaker 1: some there. They're probably some, but that's probably a short

298
00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:02,040
Speaker 1: and small list. Look at the Chiefs themselves here. I mean,

299
00:15:02,640 --> 00:15:07,600
Speaker 1: he had come into that division playoff round. Yeah, you

300
00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:10,440
Speaker 1: come back into the game like Mahomes did. That was

301
00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:13,960
Speaker 1: impressed backup quarterback. I know it gets talked about now,

302
00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:16,280
Speaker 1: and for good reason, because if you don't have a

303
00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:19,240
Speaker 1: guy to step in for a week or two, week two,

304
00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:22,600
Speaker 1: maybe more, forget it in the wheel again. To your point,

305
00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:25,400
Speaker 1: I will last thing to your point, what do you

306
00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:30,120
Speaker 1: always say about drafting a quarterback? Get too late late

307
00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:32,680
Speaker 1: in a draft? Draft? A young one draft draft, Bailey's

308
00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:35,920
Speaker 1: Happy draft, a Kirk Cousins draft. Somebody Rock Party is

309
00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:39,760
Speaker 1: exactly that guy, exactly, He's exactly that your t J. Yate,

310
00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:43,280
Speaker 1: somebody who could do something, a wild card, a Willie Beaman?

311
00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:46,800
Speaker 1: Whoever spin it? All? Right, here we go. We're going

312
00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:53,760
Speaker 1: back to the a FC South with the Tennessee Fighting Titans.

313
00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:58,400
Speaker 1: Who is starting quarterback twenty twenty three? Now this might

314
00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:04,160
Speaker 1: be a here's whose quarterback? Week one? Whose quarterback? Week eighteen?

315
00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:07,560
Speaker 1: That might be a different answer. All together, they're getting somebody.

316
00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:11,120
Speaker 1: They're gonna go out and get a quarterback Johnny who Well, okay,

317
00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:15,960
Speaker 1: free agent draft pick they pick eleventh. I don't think

318
00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:20,720
Speaker 1: they draft somebody. Here's the thing, Malik willis any hope

319
00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:24,560
Speaker 1: at all, they've seen something. Have they seen enough to

320
00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:28,360
Speaker 1: make a determination? You hate to see that little and

321
00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:31,720
Speaker 1: write a guy off. But there's no way they've seen

322
00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:34,920
Speaker 1: enough to say that's our guy. We know that. But

323
00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:37,880
Speaker 1: are they thinking, well, you know why, with another offseason

324
00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:41,640
Speaker 1: in the system, Tim Kelly, let's see what we could

325
00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:44,360
Speaker 1: do with him. He might flourish, but we're definitely not

326
00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:48,440
Speaker 1: putting our eggs in that basket. No, Tannehill, you would assume,

327
00:16:48,680 --> 00:16:51,280
Speaker 1: you would assume they're gonna move on from that. Yeah,

328
00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:53,600
Speaker 1: I think I think they imagine if they could You

329
00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:56,880
Speaker 1: imagine if the Texans, Titans, and Colts all draft quarterbacks

330
00:16:57,080 --> 00:16:59,640
Speaker 1: and we're all in that boat together. If I'm tennessee,

331
00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:01,440
Speaker 1: this is this is the thing that this was what

332
00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:05,560
Speaker 1: would bother me about Malik Willis former league Willis's case,

333
00:17:06,320 --> 00:17:10,080
Speaker 1: for his case, they drafted him in the third round,

334
00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:16,080
Speaker 1: knowing full well there's project written all over him. Yeah,

335
00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:17,960
Speaker 1: project written all over it. May know what people are like, well,

336
00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:21,040
Speaker 1: Davis Millis drive. Yeah, Davis wasn't scheduled to start. He

337
00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:23,959
Speaker 1: just had to go start Game three because I got

338
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:27,440
Speaker 1: hurt two at started. Yea. He came in game two,

339
00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:31,639
Speaker 1: starting Game three So if Malik Willis is drafted and

340
00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:33,560
Speaker 1: the thought is, well, we gotta give you time to develop,

341
00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:36,040
Speaker 1: and then he goes out in a field and he's

342
00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:39,320
Speaker 1: nowhere near the development stage and you make your assessment

343
00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:42,080
Speaker 1: on that. That didn't right. That's that's not right, so

344
00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:44,280
Speaker 1: to me. And I'm not saying you're doing things just

345
00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:47,080
Speaker 1: to be right. Sometimes quarterbacks will show you, oh, it

346
00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:50,159
Speaker 1: was the wrong move. But this is a guy with

347
00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:54,080
Speaker 1: a ton of talent. You can find. You can find something.

348
00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:57,640
Speaker 1: I think with Malik Willis, he's not your starter right now.

349
00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:01,200
Speaker 1: So let me present to you. And Tannehill is gone,

350
00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:04,720
Speaker 1: and they get rid of Taylor Luan. Now they do

351
00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:07,879
Speaker 1: have to sign Jeffrey Simmons. Do they have money to do?

352
00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:12,600
Speaker 1: Derek Carr, Lamar Jackson. Now, Lamar Jackson, you gotta go

353
00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:18,280
Speaker 1: draft picks. But Derek Carr in Nashville. I don't like it.

354
00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:20,680
Speaker 1: I don't like it for the Texans. I don't want

355
00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:22,919
Speaker 1: Derek Carr hurting me for the Titans. That could be

356
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:27,159
Speaker 1: nice fitly, it could be a nice fit for them.

357
00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:30,880
Speaker 1: Derek Carr is going to get signed by somebody. He

358
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:33,600
Speaker 1: is going to be a coveted quarterback It's not like

359
00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:35,640
Speaker 1: he's going to break the bank or something like that,

360
00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:38,280
Speaker 1: but he's definitely gonna get a deal, and somebody's gonna say,

361
00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:39,640
Speaker 1: you know, Derek Carr is our guy for the next

362
00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:41,520
Speaker 1: two three years. We'll see where it takes us. And

363
00:18:41,560 --> 00:18:45,960
Speaker 1: maybe we're developing a young guy as we nurture Derek

364
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:49,560
Speaker 1: Carr into our offense. Let me ask you about Jimmy Garoppolo,

365
00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:54,000
Speaker 1: because whoever Jimmy Garoppolo is going to be available, anybody

366
00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:56,880
Speaker 1: can sign him. He'll be a free agent, but whoever

367
00:18:57,000 --> 00:19:00,680
Speaker 1: signs him knows the history. So what kind of team

368
00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:05,440
Speaker 1: signs Jimmy knowing that he'll probably get hurt at some point?

369
00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:07,439
Speaker 1: And you know, we're just talking about your backups got

370
00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:10,080
Speaker 1: to play, but you gotta have a good backup because

371
00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:12,000
Speaker 1: you might lose him for the season. In week five.

372
00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:14,160
Speaker 1: You could be humming along like, oh my gosh, we're

373
00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:16,480
Speaker 1: off to a tremendous start and it's all working well

374
00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:19,439
Speaker 1: with Jimmy G and the Titans. Of that kind of team, Johnny,

375
00:19:19,520 --> 00:19:21,720
Speaker 1: they still have Derrick Henry, they still have names. We

376
00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:25,080
Speaker 1: know Jimmy G would look pretty good in the Titans uniform,

377
00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:27,280
Speaker 1: but he gets hurt in Week six. Is it Malik

378
00:19:27,359 --> 00:19:29,119
Speaker 1: Willis or is it somebody else you're gonna put in

379
00:19:29,119 --> 00:19:31,560
Speaker 1: that quarterback. I don't think they're the type of team

380
00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:33,160
Speaker 1: to do that. I think it would be much more

381
00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:35,760
Speaker 1: of a car type acquisition for them, where you feel

382
00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:38,320
Speaker 1: more confident that he's going to stay healthy. Even though

383
00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:41,040
Speaker 1: a really great playoff opportunity for him in twenty sixteen,

384
00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:43,000
Speaker 1: it was blown because he got hurt in the final

385
00:19:43,119 --> 00:19:46,720
Speaker 1: game or second to last, whatever it was. I think

386
00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:48,520
Speaker 1: it would be a good fit for them. I just

387
00:19:48,520 --> 00:19:49,800
Speaker 1: don't want to see it him. Let me give you

388
00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:53,399
Speaker 1: a spot for Jimmy Garoppolo, all right, And I don't

389
00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:57,520
Speaker 1: think Jimmy Garoppolo would accept this, But to me, I

390
00:19:57,520 --> 00:20:01,520
Speaker 1: think Garoppolo showed when he came back this year he's

391
00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:03,960
Speaker 1: still got a little something, but I still think he's

392
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:06,800
Speaker 1: sort of improve it mode. I think teams that want

393
00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:10,480
Speaker 1: an established guy are not looking at Jimmy Garoppolo. Garoppolo going,

394
00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:14,440
Speaker 1: I'm totally convinced, But let me give you a spot,

395
00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:16,800
Speaker 1: and it's actually in their own division because you got

396
00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:18,520
Speaker 1: to bridge the gap between the beginning of the year

397
00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:22,560
Speaker 1: and probably a week nine Week ten with Kyler Murray. Ooh,

398
00:20:23,160 --> 00:20:28,400
Speaker 1: what about Arizona where he where Garoppolo starts first eight

399
00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:32,560
Speaker 1: nine weeks before Kyler's ready, buys you even more time

400
00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:35,800
Speaker 1: with Kyler. If he's not quite ready, Garoppolo gets to

401
00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:38,920
Speaker 1: show it off. Then he gets to remain. Is the backup.

402
00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:40,800
Speaker 1: It's a one year deal. Everybody knows it's a one

403
00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:43,880
Speaker 1: year deal. But he takes the first eight nine games

404
00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:47,760
Speaker 1: whatever it is, shows what he can do. There's positives there.

405
00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:50,640
Speaker 1: Some team maybe at that point, says, Okay, we're gonna

406
00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:52,840
Speaker 1: jump on that. After the year, he's gonna end up

407
00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:54,639
Speaker 1: being he showed us enough, we're gonna do it. I

408
00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:56,960
Speaker 1: think football wise it could work. I think money wise

409
00:20:57,000 --> 00:21:00,240
Speaker 1: it doesn't work. That's because put it this way, and

410
00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:03,399
Speaker 1: let me just go football wise this way. You're six

411
00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:06,560
Speaker 1: and four, you're give me a record. You're five and three,

412
00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:09,600
Speaker 1: you're playing well. Garoppolo's doing fine, But there is a

413
00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:13,119
Speaker 1: higher level San Francisco, Jimmy Garpolo's Kyler Murray's ready, What

414
00:21:13,119 --> 00:21:15,440
Speaker 1: are you gonna do? You're sticking him in the hole

415
00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:18,080
Speaker 1: there and getting rid of Garoppolo, giving him the hook

416
00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:20,919
Speaker 1: and saying that's enough. Jimmy good job. He's not that

417
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:22,800
Speaker 1: kind of guy. He's that kind of quarterback at this

418
00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:26,439
Speaker 1: point of his careerstt. But Brissette is that kind of

419
00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:29,440
Speaker 1: quarterback right now. He was the understudy or what does

420
00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:32,240
Speaker 1: he wanted? That kind of quarterback now though, I think

421
00:21:32,280 --> 00:21:35,800
Speaker 1: he still fancies himself as more of a franchise type.

422
00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:39,560
Speaker 1: Not the franchise, but a franchise. The NFL will tell

423
00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:41,960
Speaker 1: you what kind of quarterback you are, and I think

424
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:46,040
Speaker 1: the NFL spoke volumes to Garoppolo this last offseason because

425
00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:50,320
Speaker 1: he was hurt. Yeah, because he wasn't healthy enough to

426
00:21:50,320 --> 00:21:52,399
Speaker 1: demonstrate that he could get out there. I think if

427
00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:55,399
Speaker 1: he was healthy in March, I think Jimmy Garoppolo is

428
00:21:55,400 --> 00:21:57,040
Speaker 1: on another team. Last year. I think you would have

429
00:21:57,040 --> 00:21:58,760
Speaker 1: been another team, and I think you would have confirmed

430
00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:01,840
Speaker 1: that he's not that guy. Maybe maybe I think Jimmy

431
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:05,000
Speaker 1: is absolutely right now in the Jacoby Brissette cat. Okay,

432
00:22:05,040 --> 00:22:07,080
Speaker 1: spend the wheel again, because you haven't gotten to the

433
00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:12,159
Speaker 1: other team in all right, let's go to it. The

434
00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:16,399
Speaker 1: New Jersey Jets. The New Jersey Jets. Now they have

435
00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:18,639
Speaker 1: not changed their name. Ladies and gentlemen, there are listeners

436
00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:21,960
Speaker 1: out there thinking, have they have a memo on the jet.

437
00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:24,120
Speaker 1: This might as well be the big onion because there

438
00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:29,200
Speaker 1: are some layers to un peel, aren't there always everywhere?

439
00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:31,040
Speaker 1: But yes, they have some big ones. All right. So

440
00:22:31,119 --> 00:22:33,520
Speaker 1: it's year three for SA have to peel many onions

441
00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:37,000
Speaker 1: in Kansas City, that's true. Damn in Philly, well, they

442
00:22:37,040 --> 00:22:44,200
Speaker 1: need a new backup because Semi Texans Chad Hendy is retiring. Finally,

443
00:22:44,359 --> 00:22:47,439
Speaker 1: the Handy nightmare is over. Brady and Handy in the

444
00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:50,600
Speaker 1: same year. It's like it's like football Christmas over here

445
00:22:50,600 --> 00:22:52,400
Speaker 1: at Energy State and he's like, Okay, Carne, i gotta

446
00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:55,760
Speaker 1: go into Canton with Bibe. We're avoiding it when he

447
00:22:55,840 --> 00:23:01,040
Speaker 1: comes here. Here's the with each team it comes down to,

448
00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:04,040
Speaker 1: all right, there's a question. Like with San Francisco, the

449
00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:06,280
Speaker 1: question is who's healthy enough to be the quarterback? Yeah?

450
00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:10,840
Speaker 1: We know. The question with the New Jersey Jets is

451
00:23:11,320 --> 00:23:15,000
Speaker 1: will Aaron Rodgers come out of the dark and want

452
00:23:15,040 --> 00:23:19,440
Speaker 1: to continue to play football? Yeah? Because if so, I

453
00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:21,719
Speaker 1: don't think he goes back to Green Bay. Did you

454
00:23:21,760 --> 00:23:26,600
Speaker 1: see NFL Beabs No, the Valentines, Oh my gosh, it

455
00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:30,520
Speaker 1: was so clever and they had it was dark and

456
00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:35,239
Speaker 1: you're like, wait, oh, it's Aaron Rodgers The Darkness. I

457
00:23:35,280 --> 00:23:37,880
Speaker 1: forget what the caption was, but you gotta go selmes

458
00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:42,560
Speaker 1: on so fun. I mean that is really laugh out

459
00:23:42,600 --> 00:23:45,439
Speaker 1: loud stuff. They do a tremendous job. Yeah, some of

460
00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:47,639
Speaker 1: it was kind of nasty today for the Valentines, but

461
00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:52,000
Speaker 1: it was good. You had to be there. Okay, So, uh,

462
00:23:52,520 --> 00:23:54,359
Speaker 1: do you think he's gonna play? Yes or no? I

463
00:23:54,359 --> 00:23:56,439
Speaker 1: mean it's just an opinion question right now. Do you

464
00:23:56,440 --> 00:23:59,840
Speaker 1: think he plays? I think he plays. I think he plays.

465
00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:02,159
Speaker 1: I think he plays. I think he comes out of

466
00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:03,800
Speaker 1: the dark and he's like, I want to play. And

467
00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:06,840
Speaker 1: he tells the Packers he wants a trade. Yeah, and look,

468
00:24:06,960 --> 00:24:08,960
Speaker 1: they are not going to go into the season saying

469
00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:12,400
Speaker 1: Zach Wilson's our guys, there has no chance, right, Zach

470
00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:15,520
Speaker 1: Wilson could get a chance in his career somewhere maybe

471
00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:17,920
Speaker 1: it's even there, right, But if they have a chance

472
00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:20,520
Speaker 1: to go get Aaron Rodgers, they're gonna go get Aaron

473
00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:23,760
Speaker 1: Rodgers and then see how it goes in the AFC East. Correct.

474
00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:26,920
Speaker 1: So you're going you're saying Aaron Rodgers, all right, So

475
00:24:27,080 --> 00:24:32,800
Speaker 1: I'll ask you this either or you're Aaron Rodgers. Now

476
00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:36,600
Speaker 1: we know that Jets have been been building for this moment. Yeah,

477
00:24:36,760 --> 00:24:38,239
Speaker 1: they thought Zack Wilson was going to be the guy.

478
00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:40,200
Speaker 1: They thought they would already be there. But they feel

479
00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:42,800
Speaker 1: like they're a quarterback away. They got the offensive rookie year,

480
00:24:42,880 --> 00:24:45,560
Speaker 1: defensive Rookie of the year, we got breeseall come back,

481
00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:48,440
Speaker 1: who's also a rookie. You PLoP Aaron Rodgers in there?

482
00:24:49,320 --> 00:24:50,879
Speaker 1: Where you go? Now? What you have to give up

483
00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:54,159
Speaker 1: for him? Who's to say? If you're Aaron Rodgers, do

484
00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:57,040
Speaker 1: you want to go to either the New Jersey Jets

485
00:24:57,840 --> 00:25:00,200
Speaker 1: or the Las Vegas Raiders. All right, I'll I'll have

508
00:26:08,440 --> 00:26:12,080
Speaker 1: Rodgers would he want to go to the Raiders or

509
00:26:12,119 --> 00:26:16,919
Speaker 1: the New Jersey Jets pros With the Raiders, Josh McDaniels

510
00:26:17,040 --> 00:26:18,760
Speaker 1: is still calling ball plays and that dude's been very

511
00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:21,159
Speaker 1: successful doing that. He's got Davontae Adams there now. I

512
00:26:21,160 --> 00:26:24,000
Speaker 1: don't know what happens with Waller and Renfro. I don't know,

513
00:26:24,600 --> 00:26:29,199
Speaker 1: but the offensive line is okay, But you got Davanta Adams.

514
00:26:29,240 --> 00:26:31,520
Speaker 1: You're back together. You're in Las Vegas, now you are

515
00:26:31,560 --> 00:26:33,440
Speaker 1: in the AFC West. You got a battle with Mahomes

516
00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:35,720
Speaker 1: twice a year, and you got a battle to Herbert

517
00:26:35,880 --> 00:26:37,720
Speaker 1: twice a year. Or do you want to go to

518
00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:39,840
Speaker 1: New Jersey Jets where you do have to bang heads

519
00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:43,440
Speaker 1: with Josh Allen twice a year and maybe to a

520
00:26:43,520 --> 00:26:46,320
Speaker 1: Tunga Bolo and of course the venerable mac Jones twice

521
00:26:46,320 --> 00:26:49,320
Speaker 1: a year. You've got some talented receiver, Gary Wilson, you

522
00:26:49,359 --> 00:26:53,159
Speaker 1: still got Elijah more there. Wherever Rodgers goes, he's probably

523
00:26:53,200 --> 00:26:56,360
Speaker 1: gonna bring in. I would imagine somebody with some receivers

524
00:26:56,359 --> 00:26:58,200
Speaker 1: is gonna want to go out there and play for them. Yep,

525
00:26:58,560 --> 00:27:01,600
Speaker 1: Jets are Raiders. Aaron Rodgers in twenty twenty three. I

526
00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:04,680
Speaker 1: kind of like the Raiders to reunite with Tavante Adams

527
00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:08,280
Speaker 1: and Rogers can go out into the desert and hibernate, meditate,

528
00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:10,399
Speaker 1: do whatever he likes to do, go to a cave,

529
00:27:10,600 --> 00:27:14,520
Speaker 1: isolate himself during the week. Vegas doesn't seem like his

530
00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:17,240
Speaker 1: kind of town, but maybe just out of town he

531
00:27:17,280 --> 00:27:19,679
Speaker 1: finds some peace I mean, you can basically create your

532
00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:23,600
Speaker 1: own reality there with all the mass I would say Vegas.

533
00:27:24,240 --> 00:27:26,800
Speaker 1: I would say Vegas, and I don't think it's I

534
00:27:26,800 --> 00:27:29,160
Speaker 1: don't think it's a slam dunk at all. I think

535
00:27:29,160 --> 00:27:31,680
Speaker 1: it's very close. Let me throw a third team in there.

536
00:27:31,800 --> 00:27:34,680
Speaker 1: There's a team we've already talked about. He's from Check.

537
00:27:35,080 --> 00:27:38,480
Speaker 1: Oh no, he's from Chico, California. Okay. I had to

538
00:27:38,520 --> 00:27:42,080
Speaker 1: think about what our tribute question was. It's it's David

539
00:27:42,119 --> 00:27:45,320
Speaker 1: Carr that we're looking for, not Aaron Rodgers. Aaron Rodgers

540
00:27:45,320 --> 00:27:49,720
Speaker 1: from Chico, California. He grew up a San Francisco forty

541
00:27:49,800 --> 00:27:53,640
Speaker 1: niner fan. Ooh, do they have the money to pull

542
00:27:53,720 --> 00:27:57,720
Speaker 1: that off? That's the key. That's the key. Here's where

543
00:27:58,200 --> 00:28:01,280
Speaker 1: here's where you play salary cap him astics, because how

544
00:28:01,280 --> 00:28:04,160
Speaker 1: do you solve a problem in which you don't know

545
00:28:04,200 --> 00:28:06,920
Speaker 1: whether Trey Lance is going to be there, you're not

546
00:28:07,040 --> 00:28:10,480
Speaker 1: sure about brock Purty's future. You buy time? And how

547
00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:12,000
Speaker 1: do you buy time with one of the greats of

548
00:28:12,040 --> 00:28:14,440
Speaker 1: all time going back home to San Francisco and playing

549
00:28:14,440 --> 00:28:20,120
Speaker 1: for the forty nine ers in that offense with that talent?

550
00:28:21,320 --> 00:28:23,600
Speaker 1: Questions one, how much money is it gonna cost and

551
00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:27,040
Speaker 1: too how much draft capital with the first of all,

552
00:28:27,240 --> 00:28:31,240
Speaker 1: if that's pullaffable, which is my word, pullaffable, he would

553
00:28:31,240 --> 00:28:35,200
Speaker 1: do it. Okay. I don't think it's pullaffable in San

554
00:28:35,240 --> 00:28:38,040
Speaker 1: Francisco for a variety of reasons, and picks are one

555
00:28:38,080 --> 00:28:41,120
Speaker 1: of them. Also, I kind of like the Raiders, Like

556
00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:45,160
Speaker 1: I said, Nathaniel Hackett being in New York, New Jersey.

557
00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:49,360
Speaker 1: What kind of factor will that be in the Rogers

558
00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:53,480
Speaker 1: decision or ultimate outcome? And how badly will the Jets

559
00:28:53,520 --> 00:28:56,680
Speaker 1: feel about the acquisition of Nathaniel Hackett if Rodgers ultimately

560
00:28:56,720 --> 00:28:59,400
Speaker 1: doesn't come. He only got you to get Aaron Rodgers.

561
00:28:59,440 --> 00:29:04,800
Speaker 1: Here our brutal, that's brutal. But baby Lafleur found a

562
00:29:04,880 --> 00:29:10,880
Speaker 1: job with the Rams, lensing himself in the waters of

563
00:29:11,360 --> 00:29:14,280
Speaker 1: the Sean McVeigh, and he'll get his career. Bay, I'm

564
00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:18,840
Speaker 1: very happy for a baby left when Stafford ready, Yeah,

565
00:29:18,920 --> 00:29:21,320
Speaker 1: And is that gonna be an issue? I don't know.

566
00:29:21,520 --> 00:29:23,640
Speaker 1: I'll tell you I've saw a couple of power rankings

567
00:29:23,760 --> 00:29:26,280
Speaker 1: um and they have the Rams in the top seven

568
00:29:26,360 --> 00:29:29,480
Speaker 1: or top eight. Those people are believing that Stafford's coming

569
00:29:29,520 --> 00:29:32,840
Speaker 1: back and coming back healthy. Okay, But man, you talk

570
00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:36,240
Speaker 1: about selling your soul to win a super Bowl? Holy smokes.

571
00:29:36,320 --> 00:29:38,320
Speaker 1: Yeah they did. But look, they won a super Bowl

572
00:29:38,480 --> 00:29:40,960
Speaker 1: and they went to another f them picks. They got

573
00:29:40,960 --> 00:29:43,360
Speaker 1: the super Bowl Trophy, they got the Lombardi Trophy. Good

574
00:29:43,360 --> 00:29:46,360
Speaker 1: for them, Uh, good for them. It was a nice

575
00:29:46,360 --> 00:29:50,000
Speaker 1: airbnb they stayed in. Yeah, but they got no house,

576
00:29:50,360 --> 00:29:52,440
Speaker 1: I'm except for their draft house, which God only knows

577
00:29:52,440 --> 00:29:53,880
Speaker 1: where that'll be. They're wondering if they can get it

578
00:29:53,920 --> 00:29:56,360
Speaker 1: going again. That's gonna be a real challenge for with

579
00:29:56,400 --> 00:29:59,640
Speaker 1: their lack of draft capital and everything, especially if McVay

580
00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:05,760
Speaker 1: has been thinking about moving away from coaching and he's

581
00:30:05,800 --> 00:30:09,000
Speaker 1: one foot out the door that that's gonna be if

582
00:30:09,040 --> 00:30:11,760
Speaker 1: you're if you were mentally not there and you made

583
00:30:11,800 --> 00:30:14,680
Speaker 1: some changes and you think, okay, now. He turned it

584
00:30:14,680 --> 00:30:16,480
Speaker 1: around a couple of days when the rumor came out,

585
00:30:16,520 --> 00:30:18,640
Speaker 1: and within a week he was had no. No, I'm

586
00:30:18,640 --> 00:30:22,040
Speaker 1: back in. No, he had to. But how much is

587
00:30:22,080 --> 00:30:24,000
Speaker 1: his mind gonna be? Do I want to go through

588
00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:26,440
Speaker 1: this again? Because we talk about this all the time,

589
00:30:26,960 --> 00:30:29,239
Speaker 1: and we could talk about it, but until you experience it,

590
00:30:29,600 --> 00:30:33,000
Speaker 1: the grind of an NFL coach is a different kind.

591
00:30:33,320 --> 00:30:37,800
Speaker 1: It is a different animal altogether. Um, I mean it's

592
00:30:38,240 --> 00:30:41,360
Speaker 1: twenty eight eight, three ninety five a year. I mean

593
00:30:41,400 --> 00:30:45,040
Speaker 1: it's all the time. The light work days are this

594
00:30:45,120 --> 00:30:49,160
Speaker 1: time of year. They're working solid, right solid right now,

595
00:30:49,160 --> 00:30:52,320
Speaker 1: we see it. Yes, they are working solid. So it's

596
00:30:52,320 --> 00:30:56,080
Speaker 1: not like, oh, you and I have this right, Oh well,

597
00:30:56,080 --> 00:30:57,800
Speaker 1: you got a lot of free time. Now I'm thinking

598
00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:02,800
Speaker 1: what I'm doing, budget time and two year plans and

599
00:31:02,920 --> 00:31:05,320
Speaker 1: all this other stuff. You let me not complaining about it.

600
00:31:05,320 --> 00:31:07,600
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what we get in the offseason. We

601
00:31:07,680 --> 00:31:10,920
Speaker 1: get Saturday and Sunday. Yeah most of the time. Yeah,

602
00:31:10,960 --> 00:31:13,240
Speaker 1: that's not all the time. Most of the time that's

603
00:31:13,280 --> 00:31:16,560
Speaker 1: in the week Having the weekends is a big factor

604
00:31:16,560 --> 00:31:18,240
Speaker 1: though for me and Vander Kidd and you know, we

605
00:31:18,520 --> 00:31:20,760
Speaker 1: go by the way and those are huge and and

606
00:31:20,800 --> 00:31:24,080
Speaker 1: the coaches will take a day or two over a weekend,

607
00:31:24,320 --> 00:31:26,720
Speaker 1: you know, every so often. But it comes to time

608
00:31:26,720 --> 00:31:28,719
Speaker 1: when you're getting ready for the draft. It's you know,

609
00:31:29,080 --> 00:31:31,800
Speaker 1: I think a good day is seven to seven. A

610
00:31:31,800 --> 00:31:34,080
Speaker 1: lot of coaches and I'm sure Nick's like this too.

611
00:31:34,120 --> 00:31:36,800
Speaker 1: A lot of GMS on a Saturday, you know, they

612
00:31:36,840 --> 00:31:40,360
Speaker 1: spend some time with the kids and they're thinking time

613
00:31:40,400 --> 00:31:43,280
Speaker 1: to start working on winning. So I'm going in for

614
00:31:43,320 --> 00:31:46,160
Speaker 1: a few hours. Dear, Well, that's how they live their lives.

615
00:31:46,320 --> 00:31:50,400
Speaker 1: Here's the other aspect of this. You do you you

616
00:31:50,480 --> 00:31:52,280
Speaker 1: love having that time with your kids, you love being

617
00:31:52,320 --> 00:31:54,240
Speaker 1: able to go to a brunch or love. And then

618
00:31:54,520 --> 00:31:57,840
Speaker 1: you go, wait a second, if we don't win, I

619
00:31:57,880 --> 00:32:01,640
Speaker 1: don't have this. Yeah, I don't get this, So I

620
00:32:01,720 --> 00:32:04,040
Speaker 1: better go find a way to win. So and I mean,

621
00:32:04,080 --> 00:32:06,760
Speaker 1: I take it's like that for for coaches, and GM's

622
00:32:06,760 --> 00:32:09,760
Speaker 1: a lot. It's like, Man, I enjoy my lot in life.

623
00:32:09,800 --> 00:32:12,440
Speaker 1: I like where I live. I like the restaurants around me.

624
00:32:12,520 --> 00:32:14,840
Speaker 1: I like how my my family loves the school. Well,

625
00:32:15,120 --> 00:32:17,520
Speaker 1: to keep that going, you gotta you gotta win. So

626
00:32:18,240 --> 00:32:20,440
Speaker 1: I think Aaron Rodgers San Francisco becomes interesting. I just

627
00:32:20,480 --> 00:32:22,120
Speaker 1: don't think they could pull I think you're right. Pull

628
00:32:22,120 --> 00:32:25,160
Speaker 1: off a Bulls is a good one. I am gonna say.

629
00:32:25,200 --> 00:32:28,560
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say the Jets. I'm gonna say the Jets.

630
00:32:28,720 --> 00:32:30,920
Speaker 1: Hack it gets in his ears, says, hey man, the

631
00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:35,040
Speaker 1: offensive transition is gonna be solid. We'll make it work.

632
00:32:35,080 --> 00:32:38,240
Speaker 1: As opposed, if he goes he goes to Las Vegas.

633
00:32:38,240 --> 00:32:39,720
Speaker 1: He's got to learn a hoe new system and go

634
00:32:39,760 --> 00:32:41,840
Speaker 1: through that. I don't think he wants to do that.

635
00:32:41,880 --> 00:32:43,840
Speaker 1: I think he wants to go to something he's relatively

636
00:32:43,840 --> 00:32:46,600
Speaker 1: familiar with and that that will help him go into

637
00:32:46,640 --> 00:32:49,040
Speaker 1: New Jersey and he's right there. If he's right there

638
00:32:49,040 --> 00:32:52,360
Speaker 1: in New York, and then we go up to face

639
00:32:52,440 --> 00:32:55,360
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers in the New York that's right, that's right

640
00:32:56,120 --> 00:32:59,080
Speaker 1: about that. I like, you hate that because we don't

641
00:32:59,080 --> 00:33:02,000
Speaker 1: beat that guy. We eating that guy one time two

642
00:33:02,040 --> 00:33:03,840
Speaker 1: thousand and eight is the first time played him. After that,

643
00:33:03,880 --> 00:33:09,280
Speaker 1: he's just twelve sixteen, twenty dealing. I don't like seeing

644
00:33:09,280 --> 00:33:12,600
Speaker 1: that guy. I'd rather he retire because it's only been

645
00:33:12,640 --> 00:33:15,640
Speaker 1: three times. But that guy crushes us. Yeah, I know,

646
00:33:15,720 --> 00:33:18,960
Speaker 1: he destroys us. He feels different now than he than

647
00:33:19,000 --> 00:33:21,600
Speaker 1: he's been though. And in twenty sixteen, no man, I

648
00:33:21,640 --> 00:33:25,280
Speaker 1: think the Texans played defensively well enough to slow him down.

649
00:33:25,280 --> 00:33:28,120
Speaker 1: In twenty sixteen, couldn't score scored one touchdown, right, But

650
00:33:28,600 --> 00:33:32,440
Speaker 1: in the end, when it was fourteen six or fourteen now,

651
00:33:32,520 --> 00:33:34,280
Speaker 1: whatever it was, and we're in the game, what does

652
00:33:34,280 --> 00:33:37,360
Speaker 1: he do? Drops a bomb to Jordy Nelson and I

653
00:33:37,360 --> 00:33:40,560
Speaker 1: mean just beautiful throw to Jordy Nelson. He makes the

654
00:33:40,600 --> 00:33:42,240
Speaker 1: throws at the moment of truth, and that's what the

655
00:33:42,240 --> 00:33:45,760
Speaker 1: great quarterbacks. I mean his hamstring. He was limping the

656
00:33:45,840 --> 00:33:47,960
Speaker 1: last ten yards on a scramble for a first down

657
00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:51,480
Speaker 1: against US. Yeah, again, the great ones like Mahomes in

658
00:33:51,520 --> 00:33:54,960
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl and playoffs all throughout. Yes, quickly on

659
00:33:55,120 --> 00:33:57,280
Speaker 1: receivers here, and we'll spend more time on this on

660
00:33:57,320 --> 00:33:59,480
Speaker 1: another show because I want to do it justice. But

661
00:33:59,560 --> 00:34:01,480
Speaker 1: I look, I don't know what's gonna happen with Brandon Cooks.

662
00:34:01,480 --> 00:34:03,680
Speaker 1: We all know what happened in the season. I don't

663
00:34:03,680 --> 00:34:06,400
Speaker 1: know what's going to happen this offseason. I almost want

664
00:34:06,400 --> 00:34:08,520
Speaker 1: to put him over here on a separate shelf, if

665
00:34:08,520 --> 00:34:11,279
Speaker 1: you will, and just evaluate that situation later, because we

666
00:34:11,320 --> 00:34:15,279
Speaker 1: really don't know. I'm more I'm not more concerned, necessarily,

667
00:34:15,320 --> 00:34:19,960
Speaker 1: but I am very interested in year three of Nico Collins.

668
00:34:19,960 --> 00:34:21,880
Speaker 1: He got hurt. You know, he wanted to be out there.

669
00:34:21,920 --> 00:34:23,759
Speaker 1: We saw him work at hard Johnny, trying to rehab,

670
00:34:23,920 --> 00:34:25,400
Speaker 1: trying to get out there. He just couldn't do it.

671
00:34:25,880 --> 00:34:28,520
Speaker 1: So I want to see him in twenty twenty three,

672
00:34:29,200 --> 00:34:31,800
Speaker 1: and I want to see how they use him, how

673
00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:34,440
Speaker 1: reported offensive coordinator has not been announced yet, but it's

674
00:34:34,440 --> 00:34:37,920
Speaker 1: been reported Bobby slowly decides to use Nico Collins because

675
00:34:37,960 --> 00:34:40,160
Speaker 1: I think he's a jump ball, box out kind of

676
00:34:40,200 --> 00:34:43,480
Speaker 1: player who can be a great red zone threat and

677
00:34:43,520 --> 00:34:45,920
Speaker 1: do a bunch of other great things for you within

678
00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:49,600
Speaker 1: the framework of whatever system they're going to run. But

679
00:34:49,719 --> 00:34:53,719
Speaker 1: I'm eager to see that in year three of his career. Okay,

680
00:34:53,719 --> 00:34:58,919
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give you. I'm gonna give you some numbers. Okay, fourteen, eight, ten,

681
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:05,720
Speaker 1: even fourteen games played in twenty twenty one, eight starts,

682
00:35:06,080 --> 00:35:12,680
Speaker 1: twenty twenty two, the ten games, seven starts. He must

683
00:35:13,040 --> 00:35:19,480
Speaker 1: stay healthy, he must stay healthy. Now, I think he

684
00:35:19,520 --> 00:35:23,200
Speaker 1: can be a guy that develops into more than just

685
00:35:23,840 --> 00:35:26,080
Speaker 1: a red zone dominator. I think he can be that

686
00:35:26,120 --> 00:35:29,160
Speaker 1: guy that you go to like they did in Jacksonville.

687
00:35:29,239 --> 00:35:31,400
Speaker 1: Third down. He's won on one against Tyson Campbell and

688
00:35:31,440 --> 00:35:33,640
Speaker 1: he just mosses him. I mean, he makes a tremendous

689
00:35:33,680 --> 00:35:35,560
Speaker 1: catch over his head. And as I was walking off

690
00:35:35,600 --> 00:35:37,919
Speaker 1: the field with Nico, I was like, how's to say catch?

691
00:35:37,960 --> 00:35:39,680
Speaker 1: And he goes, he goes, what's cool? I was like,

692
00:35:39,719 --> 00:35:42,680
Speaker 1: oh no, when you see it, hits cool. So he's

693
00:35:42,719 --> 00:35:46,640
Speaker 1: got that in him he's got to stay healthy. I mean,

694
00:35:46,680 --> 00:35:50,160
Speaker 1: it goes out saying to me, too huge X factors

695
00:35:50,200 --> 00:35:53,920
Speaker 1: for this team in twenty twenty three huge? Does Nico

696
00:35:54,000 --> 00:35:57,839
Speaker 1: Collins stay healthy? Does John Grenards stay healthy? Those two

697
00:35:57,880 --> 00:36:02,879
Speaker 1: guys have developed off to show us in dantalize us

698
00:36:03,120 --> 00:36:07,640
Speaker 1: with that ability. But then dang it hurt. So I

699
00:36:07,680 --> 00:36:10,480
Speaker 1: know you can't get everybody for seventeen games, every guy.

700
00:36:10,640 --> 00:36:13,919
Speaker 1: I get that, But you gotta have more than eight

701
00:36:13,920 --> 00:36:16,360
Speaker 1: games started, seven games started. You gotta have more than that.

702
00:36:16,440 --> 00:36:19,480
Speaker 1: You gotta be they're gonna do that. Yeah, It's kind

703
00:36:19,480 --> 00:36:21,600
Speaker 1: of like the quarterbacks that we talked about who have

704
00:36:21,760 --> 00:36:23,880
Speaker 1: a history of not being able to finish a season

705
00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:27,080
Speaker 1: or right the whole season. That's these players at their

706
00:36:27,120 --> 00:36:30,480
Speaker 1: particular position. And I'm curious about Mecchi, of course, and

707
00:36:30,520 --> 00:36:33,480
Speaker 1: do they draft a guy? All right? In the next segment,

708
00:36:33,960 --> 00:36:37,120
Speaker 1: Bondon b what did he have to say talk about

709
00:36:37,120 --> 00:36:39,279
Speaker 1: a gearshift? What did he have to say about the

710
00:36:39,320 --> 00:36:42,480
Speaker 1: hiring of Demiko Ryan's among other things that's coming up

711
00:36:42,480 --> 00:36:45,400
Speaker 1: here on Texans Radio. Okay, it's episode two of season

712
00:36:45,440 --> 00:36:48,000
Speaker 1: twelve of Texans Radio. All Right, I'm not gonna slate

713
00:36:48,080 --> 00:36:50,960
Speaker 1: every show like that. This season or any season, I promise,

714
00:36:51,040 --> 00:36:52,480
Speaker 1: but it's fun to say every once in a while.

715
00:36:52,920 --> 00:36:55,919
Speaker 1: Also very much fun. Demiko Ryan's being named head coach

716
00:36:55,920 --> 00:36:57,880
Speaker 1: of this football team. And here's some audio. We did

717
00:36:58,000 --> 00:36:59,600
Speaker 1: not get a chance to play on these air waves

718
00:36:59,600 --> 00:37:03,040
Speaker 1: because we started up again this week following the Super Bowl.

719
00:37:03,080 --> 00:37:07,600
Speaker 1: But during the Demiko Ryan's press conference excitement bun b

720
00:37:07,920 --> 00:37:09,600
Speaker 1: was in the house. He's gonna be at the rodeo

721
00:37:10,040 --> 00:37:12,040
Speaker 1: dp cit who caught up with him two minutes with

722
00:37:12,120 --> 00:37:15,000
Speaker 1: a Texan. He's a Texan, come on, and he was

723
00:37:15,080 --> 00:37:18,160
Speaker 1: thrilled that Demiko is coach with this football team. It's

724
00:37:18,200 --> 00:37:20,279
Speaker 1: so good to see him come back home, to have

725
00:37:20,400 --> 00:37:23,279
Speaker 1: him back in this building the right way as a

726
00:37:23,320 --> 00:37:26,440
Speaker 1: head coach, with time to put together the team that

727
00:37:26,480 --> 00:37:29,600
Speaker 1: we know the city deserves. I mean, we're practically almost there,

728
00:37:29,680 --> 00:37:33,000
Speaker 1: to be honest, We've played some really great teams this year.

729
00:37:33,080 --> 00:37:36,160
Speaker 1: We took Kansas City far. You know what I'm saying.

730
00:37:36,200 --> 00:37:40,400
Speaker 1: We are capable of winning a Super Bowl and I

731
00:37:40,400 --> 00:37:43,640
Speaker 1: think we're literally maybe a quarterback away from it at

732
00:37:43,640 --> 00:37:47,560
Speaker 1: this point. It's so amazing for Demiko to be back

733
00:37:47,600 --> 00:37:50,080
Speaker 1: here with friends and family, for his wife to be

734
00:37:50,160 --> 00:37:52,920
Speaker 1: back home to see the former guys. I know Dre

735
00:37:53,160 --> 00:37:55,800
Speaker 1: is excited to have him here, and we are too.

736
00:37:55,880 --> 00:37:58,080
Speaker 1: It's a beautiful day in Houston. I mean, he was

737
00:37:58,120 --> 00:38:00,560
Speaker 1: one of the top coaching candidates in this Michael Now,

738
00:38:00,600 --> 00:38:02,960
Speaker 1: So to see him come here saying that he's just

739
00:38:03,000 --> 00:38:05,200
Speaker 1: a step away. What sort of coach do you think

740
00:38:05,239 --> 00:38:07,560
Speaker 1: he is and what sort of effect do you think

741
00:38:07,600 --> 00:38:09,000
Speaker 1: he's going to have on the players just being a

742
00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:12,360
Speaker 1: former player himself. Well, his energy is infectious, right, so

743
00:38:12,719 --> 00:38:15,200
Speaker 1: you know when he comes in and he's excited about

744
00:38:15,239 --> 00:38:17,239
Speaker 1: what we need to do, and these guys are going

745
00:38:17,280 --> 00:38:19,840
Speaker 1: to be very easily motivated by a coach by Dmiko,

746
00:38:20,040 --> 00:38:21,839
Speaker 1: a guy that's been in the trenches in the way

747
00:38:21,880 --> 00:38:23,480
Speaker 1: that they're going to have to be in the trenches.

748
00:38:23,640 --> 00:38:26,280
Speaker 1: He's done the hard work. He's got their respective players

749
00:38:26,320 --> 00:38:29,759
Speaker 1: and coaches all across the board, and you know, he

750
00:38:29,800 --> 00:38:32,560
Speaker 1: doesn't have to leave home anymore. He's here. He's got

751
00:38:32,719 --> 00:38:34,640
Speaker 1: at least six years. But I love it if this

752
00:38:34,719 --> 00:38:38,320
Speaker 1: first contract was, you know, just for the last contract,

753
00:38:38,360 --> 00:38:41,040
Speaker 1: just keep him here forever, just keep extending it, right,

754
00:38:41,080 --> 00:38:42,640
Speaker 1: I love it all? Right? So what do he was

755
00:38:42,800 --> 00:38:45,360
Speaker 1: a player here? You obviously are well connected the community.

756
00:38:45,360 --> 00:38:47,640
Speaker 1: What do you remember most about Demiko oh Man that

757
00:38:47,719 --> 00:38:50,480
Speaker 1: speech after winning that first playoff? You're getting getting that

758
00:38:50,480 --> 00:38:53,320
Speaker 1: playoff clinched, you know, and like I said, his energy

759
00:38:53,400 --> 00:38:55,920
Speaker 1: is so infectious. He was the heart of the team.

760
00:38:55,920 --> 00:38:58,160
Speaker 1: Then he'll be the hard and soul of the team. Now.

761
00:38:58,960 --> 00:39:00,920
Speaker 1: Love seeing you here and good luck at the rodeo

762
00:39:00,920 --> 00:39:02,600
Speaker 1: next month. Can't wait to see you again. Thank you.

763
00:39:02,640 --> 00:39:04,560
Speaker 1: Hopefully we'll have Demiko come out and talk to the

764
00:39:04,600 --> 00:39:07,759
Speaker 1: people maybe looking forward to it. Thanks so much. Deep

765
00:39:07,920 --> 00:39:10,880
Speaker 1: City would bun b at the Demiko Ryan's press conference.

766
00:39:10,920 --> 00:39:15,080
Speaker 1: While we're in reaction mode, what about Brian Cushing, fellow linebacker?

767
00:39:15,160 --> 00:39:17,560
Speaker 1: What was his reaction? Deep be caught up with him

768
00:39:17,880 --> 00:39:19,799
Speaker 1: joining me. Now, Brian Cushing, you haven't talked to him

769
00:39:19,800 --> 00:39:21,440
Speaker 1: in a few years, father of three. Now, I think

770
00:39:21,480 --> 00:39:23,239
Speaker 1: the first time I interviewed you, you just had the

771
00:39:23,280 --> 00:39:25,880
Speaker 1: one yeah. And so now you're a seasoned dad and

772
00:39:25,960 --> 00:39:28,280
Speaker 1: you're back here to see Demiko Ryan's as head coach.

773
00:39:28,760 --> 00:39:32,480
Speaker 1: It seems so full circle, doesn't it. It does pretty surreal.

774
00:39:32,600 --> 00:39:34,840
Speaker 1: You know, as I was talking about previous sleeves, a

775
00:39:34,960 --> 00:39:37,120
Speaker 1: guy that we always knew would be a head coach eventually,

776
00:39:37,160 --> 00:39:39,160
Speaker 1: but just to be able to come back here is

777
00:39:39,960 --> 00:39:42,799
Speaker 1: crazy but so well deserved. I was watching a micd

778
00:39:42,880 --> 00:39:45,319
Speaker 1: up of him with you. You were a rookie. He

779
00:39:45,360 --> 00:39:47,600
Speaker 1: was sort of coaching you up on the field and

780
00:39:47,680 --> 00:39:49,880
Speaker 1: he said, you're not a rookie, and you said, I'm

781
00:39:49,920 --> 00:39:51,960
Speaker 1: not a rookie. It was week three of your rookie season,

782
00:39:51,960 --> 00:39:53,640
Speaker 1: and he talked about how much he expected of you,

783
00:39:53,680 --> 00:39:55,319
Speaker 1: and he talked about how you were like a little

784
00:39:55,320 --> 00:39:57,560
Speaker 1: brother to him. He mentioned you in the press conference

785
00:39:57,560 --> 00:39:59,880
Speaker 1: as well. Tell us a little bit about your relationship

786
00:40:00,040 --> 00:40:03,200
Speaker 1: with Demiko. Just an incredible friend, someone that I was

787
00:40:03,239 --> 00:40:05,600
Speaker 1: so fortunate enough to play with, but also be a

788
00:40:05,680 --> 00:40:07,439
Speaker 1: rookie when he was a little bit older as well.

789
00:40:07,640 --> 00:40:09,440
Speaker 1: I couldn't have asked for a better guy to come

790
00:40:09,440 --> 00:40:13,000
Speaker 1: in and mentor me. The amount that he helped would

791
00:40:13,000 --> 00:40:15,960
Speaker 1: not be able to explain. Just a great friend and

792
00:40:16,080 --> 00:40:17,879
Speaker 1: has been, you know since the dad I've met him,

793
00:40:18,280 --> 00:40:20,480
Speaker 1: someone I love playing with, you know, someone I love

794
00:40:20,560 --> 00:40:24,200
Speaker 1: still staying in communication with, and just you know, very

795
00:40:24,280 --> 00:40:26,880
Speaker 1: very lucky and blessed be able to have the opportunity

796
00:40:26,880 --> 00:40:28,880
Speaker 1: to play with him. I can't even tell you how

797
00:40:28,960 --> 00:40:31,440
Speaker 1: much he's done for me as a player, as a

798
00:40:31,480 --> 00:40:34,160
Speaker 1: person and just overall a great friend, always has been,

799
00:40:34,160 --> 00:40:36,359
Speaker 1: always will be. He talked a lot about not having

800
00:40:36,400 --> 00:40:38,080
Speaker 1: an ego in the draft room. I mean, is that

801
00:40:38,160 --> 00:40:39,719
Speaker 1: sort of what made him such a good leader in

802
00:40:39,760 --> 00:40:41,520
Speaker 1: the locker We've been around a lot of veteran players,

803
00:40:41,560 --> 00:40:44,840
Speaker 1: but what really separated him from some of the rest? Yeah, unselfishness?

804
00:40:45,000 --> 00:40:47,160
Speaker 1: Right with him, it was always about what's best for

805
00:40:47,200 --> 00:40:50,080
Speaker 1: the team. He talks it and like you know, Nick

806
00:40:50,160 --> 00:40:53,520
Speaker 1: had talked about that's genuinely him. The overall well being

807
00:40:53,520 --> 00:40:56,280
Speaker 1: of the team and what's best for them is what's

808
00:40:56,280 --> 00:40:58,319
Speaker 1: always the most important to him. Did you know that

809
00:40:58,360 --> 00:41:00,080
Speaker 1: he was going to be a head coach someday? Is

810
00:41:00,120 --> 00:41:03,440
Speaker 1: that or is this sort of a surprising his career evolved. No,

811
00:41:03,560 --> 00:41:06,359
Speaker 1: he we knew he'd be a head coach. Yeah, absolutely,

812
00:41:06,440 --> 00:41:09,319
Speaker 1: just just playing with him and he loved coaching when

813
00:41:09,320 --> 00:41:10,920
Speaker 1: he was playing, right, it was it was one of

814
00:41:10,960 --> 00:41:12,600
Speaker 1: those deals. If you had a question, that's the guy

815
00:41:12,600 --> 00:41:15,280
Speaker 1: to ask, whether it was about football, whether it's about

816
00:41:15,280 --> 00:41:17,640
Speaker 1: life outside of football, whether it's about the NFLPA, there

817
00:41:17,680 --> 00:41:19,960
Speaker 1: was one guy to ask in the locker room. Um,

818
00:41:20,000 --> 00:41:21,359
Speaker 1: so we knew that it would be his career once

819
00:41:21,360 --> 00:41:24,000
Speaker 1: he was done playing and something he just has transition

820
00:41:24,080 --> 00:41:26,680
Speaker 1: to into. So well, all right, he's got three kids.

821
00:41:26,719 --> 00:41:29,040
Speaker 1: You've got three kids. You were a coach on the

822
00:41:29,080 --> 00:41:31,239
Speaker 1: staff here briefly. Does it ever sort of give you

823
00:41:31,280 --> 00:41:33,359
Speaker 1: that inkling to sort of come back get back into

824
00:41:33,360 --> 00:41:36,960
Speaker 1: coaching again. Yeah, you know, when I was done, I

825
00:41:37,000 --> 00:41:38,680
Speaker 1: was I was kind of taking some time off and

826
00:41:40,080 --> 00:41:42,479
Speaker 1: it was tough, you know, NFL was tough. I hadn't

827
00:41:42,480 --> 00:41:45,400
Speaker 1: seen my family that much and kind of consider myself

828
00:41:45,440 --> 00:41:47,959
Speaker 1: to be done, you know, But when when this guy's

829
00:41:48,080 --> 00:41:51,360
Speaker 1: name started popping up and then came back here, you know,

830
00:41:51,400 --> 00:41:53,600
Speaker 1: that's one guy that makes you reconsider a lot. So

831
00:41:53,920 --> 00:41:55,759
Speaker 1: you never know, all right, you never know. Love to

832
