37
00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:43,600
Speaker 1: this evening's proceedings.

38
00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:46,680
Speaker 2: It's a guy you heard today on in the Loop

39
00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:49,640
Speaker 2: and not Landry Locker and John Lopez on vacation. So

40
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:52,920
Speaker 2: our man, Brandon K. Scott, I just like saying to

41
00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:55,640
Speaker 2: the middle of initial it's cool. Brandon Scott, I think

42
00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:57,520
Speaker 2: is one of the most talented dudes you're gonna find

43
00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:00,840
Speaker 2: in this city. He went to Sam Houston. He is

44
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:04,720
Speaker 2: of Houston. He has lived here his entire life. If

45
00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:07,960
Speaker 2: there is anybody that knows and loves this city, loves

46
00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:10,639
Speaker 2: its city. Sports teams can break it down, can tell

47
00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:13,480
Speaker 2: you in different ways. One of the best at press conferences.

48
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:18,880
Speaker 2: Brandon Scott is that guy. He is absolutely phenomenal and

49
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:22,880
Speaker 2: a tremendous dude to boot. I loved having the opportunity

50
00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:24,760
Speaker 2: to do radio with him. I think we did last summer.

51
00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:26,920
Speaker 2: I think Sean and Seth rout a vacation and he

52
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:29,200
Speaker 2: and I had an opportunity to do some shows together

53
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:32,120
Speaker 2: and he drove the bus and he did it tremendously.

54
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:34,799
Speaker 1: He does everything. I mean, he is the Swiss army

55
00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:36,480
Speaker 1: knife that you need to have.

56
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:38,360
Speaker 2: And he's not one of those little tiny Swiss army knives,

57
00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:40,359
Speaker 2: Like he's a big, massive one.

58
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:41,000
Speaker 1: Anything you need.

59
00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:45,200
Speaker 2: You need screwdrivers, you need chopsticks, you need scissors, you

60
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:48,560
Speaker 2: need a scalpel, you need a toothpick, like it's all

61
00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:50,600
Speaker 2: in there. That's what Brandon Scott is because he does

62
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:54,640
Speaker 2: it for all sports. The podcast that he does with

63
00:02:54,680 --> 00:03:00,280
Speaker 2: Abspalane is tremendous on basketball and the Rockets and then

64
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:02,040
Speaker 2: talking about the astros. I mean, he covers it all.

65
00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:04,440
Speaker 2: The man knows it all. And Deep City had a

66
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:08,880
Speaker 2: chance to do a deep slant, deep dive into Brandon Scott.

67
00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:10,760
Speaker 2: And that's what we got for you to kick off

68
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:13,200
Speaker 2: this show. I know you're gonna love it because I

69
00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:15,240
Speaker 2: know you love Brandon Scott. And if you're going way second,

70
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:17,080
Speaker 2: I'm not sure I know who Brandon Scott is. Well

Speaker 3: I am happy to have you, and I just feel

96
00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:15,920
Speaker 3: like you talk about Textans so much. You've been filling

97
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:18,520
Speaker 3: in on sports Radio six ten in the morning for

98
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:20,440
Speaker 3: Seth Payin, so I feel like you're just as plugged

99
00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:22,880
Speaker 3: in as pretty much anyone else around here. You were

100
00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:25,200
Speaker 3: out here quite a bit for OTA's and Veteran Mini Camp.

101
00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:27,000
Speaker 3: So let's start there. Your impressions.

102
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:28,440
Speaker 4: I know everybody wanted to see CJ.

103
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:32,600
Speaker 3: Stroud and the rookies when you left Mini Camp at

104
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:34,719
Speaker 3: the end of it, what were your overall impressions of

105
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:36,280
Speaker 3: this rookie class.

106
00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:38,480
Speaker 5: So well with the was c J. Stroud Okay? So

107
00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:40,520
Speaker 5: I was gonna say the rookie class have I have

108
00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:45,400
Speaker 5: so many, but specific to the rookie class, I thought CJ.

109
00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:49,440
Speaker 5: Stroud fit the bill of what we thought he was

110
00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:51,400
Speaker 5: and I would say that, I know you asked about

111
00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:53,640
Speaker 5: c J. Stroud, but I would put that with CJ.

112
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:58,320
Speaker 5: Stroud and Will Anderson in terms of the expectation, the

113
00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:03,680
Speaker 5: projection you think this player could be. Obviously, they haven't

114
00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:07,479
Speaker 5: played any competitive NFL football yet, but just within the

115
00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:09,880
Speaker 5: context and within the framework of what we've been able

116
00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:13,839
Speaker 5: to watch and see them do, CJ. Stroud stands out

117
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:16,080
Speaker 5: like they've got other options at quarterback that they can

118
00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:18,240
Speaker 5: go to. Right, So Davis Mills is still here. We

119
00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:21,039
Speaker 5: brought in case kem in the building, and that's a

120
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:23,160
Speaker 5: whole nother thing. That's just awesome to see Case back.

121
00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:23,960
Speaker 4: It really is.

122
00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:28,080
Speaker 5: It's great to have him back around, truly. But CJ.

123
00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:31,279
Speaker 5: Stroud stands out amongst the group, which is something that

124
00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:34,080
Speaker 5: you were hoping for, something that you were expecting, and

125
00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:37,320
Speaker 5: something that I would say rang true in rookie Mini

126
00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:41,200
Speaker 5: caamp and OTAs and mandatory mandatory camp.

127
00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:43,160
Speaker 4: I thought his command of the huddle.

128
00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:45,200
Speaker 3: I mean, we've seen rookie quarterbacks come in here in

129
00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:47,680
Speaker 3: the offseason and they have to get their feet under them.

130
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:51,080
Speaker 3: So I had kind of not low expectations, but not

131
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:52,280
Speaker 3: super high.

132
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:54,000
Speaker 4: And I thought just the way.

133
00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:55,960
Speaker 3: He was commanding the offense like he's still getting up

134
00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:58,880
Speaker 3: to speed. I just thought his body language looked really good,

135
00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:01,200
Speaker 3: and he had a really great throws. He had some

136
00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:03,120
Speaker 3: throws that were not so great, which is kind of

137
00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:06,880
Speaker 3: what you expect, but I thought overall he didn't seem

138
00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:08,680
Speaker 3: so out of place being a rookie.

139
00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:12,080
Speaker 5: Yeah, and I think that you want to be cautious

140
00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:16,480
Speaker 5: in tempering your expectations for rookies. It's for sure the

141
00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:18,760
Speaker 5: more difficult the position. And that's not to say any

142
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:21,520
Speaker 5: of it is easy, but I think it's fair to

143
00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:25,840
Speaker 5: say that the quarterback has the steepest learning curve, especially

144
00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:28,560
Speaker 5: if the expectation is, you know, number two overall, pick

145
00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:31,120
Speaker 5: this is going to be the guy at some point eventually,

146
00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:35,680
Speaker 5: like those expectations, and that learning curve for the quarterback

147
00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:38,680
Speaker 5: I think is the steepest. And considering that, I would

148
00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:40,960
Speaker 5: agree with you that the command of the huddle. Another

149
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:43,600
Speaker 5: thing that stood out to me, not just from watching him,

150
00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:48,920
Speaker 5: but from hearing teammates, coaches, and management talk about c. J.

151
00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:54,880
Speaker 5: Stroud is his thirst for knowledge, just how inquisitive he is.

152
00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:57,680
Speaker 5: And I guess maybe this is the journalist in me

153
00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:00,840
Speaker 5: or the media person in me who's naturally curious. But

154
00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:05,040
Speaker 5: I've got an appreciation for anybody that goes into a job,

155
00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:08,840
Speaker 5: a new job, new role, new scene, whatever it is,

156
00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:12,000
Speaker 5: and they're not just in there going through the motions

157
00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:15,560
Speaker 5: or expecting everything to happen for them right away, but

158
00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:19,280
Speaker 5: they're genuinely curious about how to get better and how

159
00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:20,880
Speaker 5: to perfect their craft. And that's one of the things

160
00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:23,000
Speaker 5: about CJ. Strowd that I've been able to glean just

161
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:26,000
Speaker 5: from more so from hearing others talk about him. And

162
00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:28,360
Speaker 5: you expect people to say positive things about someone at

163
00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:31,240
Speaker 5: this time of year, but also get the sense that

164
00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:33,880
Speaker 5: it's genuine and that it's pretty much on brand for

165
00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:35,400
Speaker 5: what people have said about CJ. Stroud.

166
00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:37,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, I thought there were a couple of players that

167
00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:41,080
Speaker 3: told some stories about DBS about CJ. Strode coming up

168
00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:43,360
Speaker 3: to them after practice or during practice, and I thought

169
00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:46,920
Speaker 3: defensive coordinator Matt Burke told a great story about how

170
00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:49,160
Speaker 3: they showed him a look that they hadn't shown in

171
00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:51,680
Speaker 3: practice yet and he didn't have a great throw, but

172
00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:54,320
Speaker 3: afterwards he walked up to Burke and he wanted to

173
00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:56,400
Speaker 3: understand the coverage a little bit better, what he could

174
00:07:56,400 --> 00:07:57,840
Speaker 3: have done better. And they had a whole ten minute

175
00:07:57,840 --> 00:08:00,400
Speaker 3: discussion on it. So yeah, I get that is you know,

176
00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:02,640
Speaker 3: like to hear the specific stories around it, you know

177
00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:04,880
Speaker 3: that they're not just playing you lip service, that he

178
00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:08,200
Speaker 3: really is very inquisitive and a lot of players on

179
00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:09,720
Speaker 3: the defensive side of the ball have said that as

180
00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:10,400
Speaker 3: well as offensive.

181
00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:12,960
Speaker 5: And then the underlying part about that that's pretty good.

182
00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:15,840
Speaker 5: That's not necessarily specific to c J. Stroud, but more

183
00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:18,840
Speaker 5: so specific to the defense because I've heard GM Nick

184
00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:21,400
Speaker 5: Asserio come on our very radio station on Sports Radio

185
00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:23,480
Speaker 5: six ' ten and talk about that play and it

186
00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:25,960
Speaker 5: really being like the plays that CJ. Stroud's talking about

187
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:27,840
Speaker 5: or that Matt Burke's talking about in relation to CJ.

188
00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:30,760
Speaker 5: Stroud also be in cases of the defense doing a

189
00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:33,600
Speaker 5: good job of disguising their looks, and you know, we're

190
00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:36,480
Speaker 5: evaluating everything. We want CJ. Stroud to be great, but

191
00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:38,320
Speaker 5: also we want this defense to be improved and to

192
00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:40,800
Speaker 5: be really good. So that's kind of a it's a

193
00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:43,920
Speaker 5: two part cool story of here's the rookie quarterback. If

194
00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:47,160
Speaker 5: you're a Texans fan, here's your rookie quarterback, genuinely curious

195
00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:49,880
Speaker 5: trying to perfect their craft, but also here's your defense,

196
00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:54,200
Speaker 5: you know, showing some sort of you know, some some

197
00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:57,040
Speaker 5: sort of ability to disguise and to catch on to

198
00:08:57,120 --> 00:08:59,320
Speaker 5: the new defensive scheme that devinco Ryans is bringing in.

199
00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:01,199
Speaker 3: A right since you brought it up, I mean, what

200
00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:03,840
Speaker 3: were your impressions of Demiico Ryans as head coach?

201
00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:07,360
Speaker 5: Demiko Ryans is interesting because I was trying to find out,

202
00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:10,440
Speaker 5: especially with him being a first year head coach, first

203
00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:13,600
Speaker 5: time head coach, what kind of head coach is he?

204
00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:16,200
Speaker 5: Is he the yeller? Is he the guy?

205
00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:16,600
Speaker 1: Yeah?

206
00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:16,880
Speaker 5: Right?

207
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:19,319
Speaker 4: I got myself, Yeah.

208
00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:21,720
Speaker 5: Is see more of the walkaround coach. And to be

209
00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:24,439
Speaker 5: fair to Dimko, I think he's still probably figuring out

210
00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:27,800
Speaker 5: sort of exactly how he's going up. But it's not

211
00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:31,040
Speaker 5: like they've had thousands of practices or anything. They've only

212
00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:33,360
Speaker 5: had just this limited time, so I think, to be

213
00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:35,840
Speaker 5: fair to him, he's still probably figuring it out. But

214
00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:38,800
Speaker 5: I also got the sense that Demiico Ryans is gonna

215
00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:40,719
Speaker 5: be the type who's going to be heavily involved but

216
00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:42,480
Speaker 5: also going to allow his coaches to do their job.

217
00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:45,560
Speaker 5: Like he didn't hire these guys. The Texans did not

218
00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:48,720
Speaker 5: hire this coaching staff just for Domiico Ryans to run

219
00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:51,040
Speaker 5: it with an iron fist. They hired these guys to

220
00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:53,679
Speaker 5: do their jobs. And I get the sense from Demico Ryans,

221
00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:56,240
Speaker 5: even from talking to Nick Asiri and hearing him speak,

222
00:09:56,480 --> 00:09:59,480
Speaker 5: that they really feel confident in this coaching staff and

223
00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:00,720
Speaker 5: really want the to feel in power.

224
00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:01,240
Speaker 1: Yeah.

225
00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:03,400
Speaker 3: I mean, I think that's a that's a great observation

226
00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:05,280
Speaker 3: because I found myself doing the same. But you know,

227
00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:07,760
Speaker 3: didn't you feel like you had to stop and really

228
00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:10,280
Speaker 3: look for Demiko on the field, Like I don't. I

229
00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:12,720
Speaker 3: just expected him to be out there screaming or yelling,

230
00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:14,760
Speaker 3: and I would just automatically know where he was at

231
00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:15,200
Speaker 3: all times.

232
00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:17,240
Speaker 4: But you know, there were times where I thought, where

233
00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:18,560
Speaker 4: did you go? Oh, he's with the offense.

234
00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:21,440
Speaker 3: Now he's just sort of observing, but he's in the

235
00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:23,400
Speaker 3: mix with the players. But he also sort of looks

236
00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:25,880
Speaker 3: like a player, so he just sort of blends.

237
00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:27,080
Speaker 4: Right in with everybody.

238
00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:29,560
Speaker 3: And and I think Brett Komer of the Chronicle, he

239
00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:31,400
Speaker 3: was he had his camera one day. He said, where

240
00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:34,079
Speaker 3: where's Demiko? He was asking me, and I said, he's

241
00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:36,760
Speaker 3: over here. Like he just sort of moves about all

242
00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:39,360
Speaker 3: the position groups pretty effortlessly.

243
00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:42,400
Speaker 5: Yeah, It sounds like it was a common question when

244
00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:43,839
Speaker 5: we were out there, because I got some of the

245
00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:45,640
Speaker 5: same stuff, and when we would do it, there was

246
00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:48,079
Speaker 5: kind of a where's Waldo kind of he just sort

247
00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:50,240
Speaker 5: of blends right in. Yeah, he blends right in, and

248
00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:52,319
Speaker 5: so you're like, okay, and I narrowed it down to

249
00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:56,280
Speaker 5: this DP. I said, Okay, find the coach that looks

250
00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:59,360
Speaker 5: like it could easily be out Yeah, And with respect

251
00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:00,920
Speaker 5: to the coaching staff, most of the guys are in

252
00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:04,000
Speaker 5: pretty good shape. But I don't know if there's anybody

253
00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:06,200
Speaker 5: on the staff that quite looks like a player as

254
00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:08,440
Speaker 5: much as Demiko Ryans does. Right, So you try to

255
00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:10,920
Speaker 5: do that, can't you know what Demico Ryans is build

256
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:13,839
Speaker 5: and frame and look is. So you're like, Okay, what's

257
00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:16,920
Speaker 5: the closest thing to that that also looks like a player?

258
00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:19,600
Speaker 5: And that's usually where Demiko Ryans is or who Demiico

259
00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:22,360
Speaker 5: Ryans is. And then to your point, somewhere in the mix,

260
00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:23,400
Speaker 5: right in the thick of something.

261
00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:26,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, Because sometimes you see coaches sort of distance themselves

262
00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:28,080
Speaker 3: from the players or watching from a vantage point. He

263
00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:30,679
Speaker 3: was right there with the players watching it from their

264
00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:32,960
Speaker 3: vantage point. So I think that made it like, you know,

265
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:34,600
Speaker 3: not that he wasn't vocal, but he just real of

266
00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:35,720
Speaker 3: blended in with the players.

267
00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:36,559
Speaker 4: He was wherever they were.

268
00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:39,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, all right, let's get into our burning training camp questions,

269
00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:41,880
Speaker 3: because now that we've got that in the books, I

270
00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:44,040
Speaker 3: think that we sort of have these questions every year

271
00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:48,600
Speaker 3: heading into camp. The big cliffhanger obviously the quarterback question,

272
00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:52,280
Speaker 3: which Demiko said, there's nobody's solidified as starting spot in

273
00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:55,800
Speaker 3: reference to CJ. Stroud, So let's take quarterback out of

274
00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:56,960
Speaker 3: it because obviously that's.

275
00:11:56,840 --> 00:11:57,880
Speaker 4: Going to be the biggest question.

276
00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:00,839
Speaker 3: What give me what your biggest questes is heading into

277
00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:01,480
Speaker 3: training camp.

278
00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:04,400
Speaker 5: I have a branch that's off the quarterback question. So

279
00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:06,720
Speaker 5: it's not quarterback, but it is a branch.

280
00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:08,000
Speaker 4: I feel like I can guess what it is.

281
00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:10,679
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's close. It's very closely related, and it has

282
00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:13,040
Speaker 5: to do with who the quarterback takes the ball from

283
00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:17,439
Speaker 5: and when the game, when the play starts, I should say,

284
00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:20,640
Speaker 5: and that is what's going to happen at center because

285
00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:24,360
Speaker 5: and that's not to say that it is the thing

286
00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:26,360
Speaker 5: that's going to make or break the season, but to me,

287
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:29,760
Speaker 5: it is a curious case because you have an incumbent.

288
00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:32,560
Speaker 5: You have someone in Scott Quesnberry who stepped in for

289
00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:35,080
Speaker 5: you admirably in a position that I don't think he

290
00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:37,640
Speaker 5: was planned to be in going into the year, and

291
00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:40,080
Speaker 5: he did so admirably. And honestly, I was having this

292
00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:42,839
Speaker 5: discussion with another one of our colleagues just yesterday. If

293
00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:45,560
Speaker 5: Scott Quiesenberry goes out there and is your start to center,

294
00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:47,400
Speaker 5: I don't think many people are going to bat and

295
00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:50,080
Speaker 5: I are like really be all like up in arms

296
00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:52,760
Speaker 5: about it. But they also did go out and address

297
00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:56,280
Speaker 5: the position in the draft, and there is some excitement

298
00:12:56,320 --> 00:12:58,719
Speaker 5: I think about that as well. That's to a far

299
00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:01,360
Speaker 5: lesser degree than say the quarterback or the guy that

300
00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:04,040
Speaker 5: goes out and gets the quarterback and Will Anderson. But

301
00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:07,560
Speaker 5: to me, even going into the draft, I like the

302
00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:12,280
Speaker 5: idea of drafting a young quarterback and also pairing him

303
00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:15,320
Speaker 5: with a young I just liked the idea of them

304
00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:20,080
Speaker 5: coming up together, growing together. Yeah, and training camp is

305
00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:22,840
Speaker 5: going to give us an opportunity to gauge not just

306
00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:26,560
Speaker 5: the quarterbacks readiness as we've discussed, but also the center position.

307
00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:30,120
Speaker 5: So what happens there, it's not necessarily the like the

308
00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:34,200
Speaker 5: most glamorous type of position battle or burning question. But

309
00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:36,439
Speaker 5: to me, it is a relevant one because it's one

310
00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:39,959
Speaker 5: that you certainly addressed in the offseason, both, I think

311
00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:42,160
Speaker 5: in free agency and in the draft. So what exactly

312
00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:45,280
Speaker 5: happens at center? We've got other questions about the offensive

313
00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:49,760
Speaker 5: as well, But in training camp, especially once there's more contact,

314
00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:51,680
Speaker 5: Like we didn't see a lot of contact right in

315
00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:54,600
Speaker 5: these in these off season programs, but in training camp

316
00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:58,400
Speaker 5: we will. We will see joint practices once the once

317
00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:01,560
Speaker 5: Week two comes against Miami and three against the New

318
00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:05,240
Speaker 5: Land Saints. So how all of that comes to be

319
00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:07,040
Speaker 5: or how it comes together is something that I'm really

320
00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:07,880
Speaker 5: interested in observing.

321
00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:09,920
Speaker 3: I felt like in mini camp, if we had to

322
00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:11,719
Speaker 3: decide right then and there, it was probably going to

323
00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:14,360
Speaker 3: be Scott Questenberry. We saw Jewice Scruggs get in there

324
00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:17,200
Speaker 3: a bit, but not really so much with the first team.

325
00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:20,040
Speaker 3: But I like what you're saying with you know, it's

326
00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:21,920
Speaker 3: not like you've got this veteran center who's always done

327
00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:23,640
Speaker 3: it a certain way. Now the rookie's got to come

328
00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:25,600
Speaker 3: and he's got to adjust. They're both going to figure

329
00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:28,240
Speaker 3: out their way together. That communication, I think center is

330
00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:30,600
Speaker 3: definitely one of the top questions heading into camp, especially

331
00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:33,440
Speaker 3: with Justin Britt, like you felt like that spot was

332
00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:35,480
Speaker 3: solidified with him the last two years and then with

333
00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:39,480
Speaker 3: everything that transpired with him and then Scott Jimmy morrisees

334
00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:42,360
Speaker 3: on this squad. It was also started at center two

335
00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:46,240
Speaker 3: years ago when you know we're going through everything with COVID.

336
00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:47,960
Speaker 4: So I'll give you one.

337
00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:51,280
Speaker 3: John metchies his status. I think we're all sort of

338
00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:53,680
Speaker 3: watching with baited breath. We thought we would see him

339
00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:56,960
Speaker 3: out here in mini camps and OTAs, but he's been

340
00:14:57,000 --> 00:14:58,680
Speaker 3: dealing with the hamstring issue.

341
00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:00,920
Speaker 4: You know, he's coming back after.

342
00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:04,920
Speaker 3: Not playing all last year, dealing with leukemia, and everybody

343
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:06,400
Speaker 3: is waiting to see.

344
00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:09,080
Speaker 4: That wide receiver position group and where Mechi can fit in.

345
00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:11,680
Speaker 5: I'm so glad that you mentioned him because I'm just

346
00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:14,680
Speaker 5: I'm gonna say this in full transparency with John MITCHI

347
00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:18,200
Speaker 5: he's been someone because of the leukemia diagnosis and the

348
00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:20,680
Speaker 5: severity of that, and like just that's we're talking about

349
00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:25,040
Speaker 5: real life and his health. I have been up until

350
00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:28,560
Speaker 5: this offseason, and really the further we've gotten into it

351
00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:30,600
Speaker 5: and the closer to the actual season we've gotten into

352
00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:33,520
Speaker 5: it the more comfortable I've become and even discussing him,

353
00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:37,080
Speaker 5: because for me, in my mind, the priority was just

354
00:15:38,080 --> 00:15:40,280
Speaker 5: John Mitchi's health as a human.

355
00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:44,320
Speaker 3: Being, Like just get healthy, right, Yeah, Like, honestly, football is.

356
00:15:44,680 --> 00:15:45,800
Speaker 4: Way way secondary.

357
00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:49,560
Speaker 5: I absolutely, But to that point, from what we've heard

358
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:53,080
Speaker 5: from management, from coaches, even seeing John Mitchie a time

359
00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:55,880
Speaker 5: or two around the facility, it seems like I remember

360
00:15:55,920 --> 00:15:58,640
Speaker 5: hearing be Casio talk about coming up coming up here

361
00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:02,080
Speaker 5: to do workouts on and John Mitchi being in there

362
00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:05,280
Speaker 5: looking even better than they did when they scouted him,

363
00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:07,360
Speaker 5: when they when they liked him when they drafted him

364
00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:10,320
Speaker 5: last year. So like that to me excites me. Didn't

365
00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:12,440
Speaker 5: want to put I guess in my mind, I didn't

366
00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:15,320
Speaker 5: want to put too much expectation and pressure on John

367
00:16:15,400 --> 00:16:18,400
Speaker 5: Metchie has an idea, but it is something that's exciting

368
00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:20,160
Speaker 5: because it does look like he's gonna play this year.

369
00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:23,120
Speaker 5: You know, it does feel that way. And I was

370
00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:25,120
Speaker 5: reading even last night's funny that you mentioned this. I

371
00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:27,560
Speaker 5: was reading last night Bleacher Reports, who I do some

372
00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:28,120
Speaker 5: work for.

373
00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:30,680
Speaker 4: Hell oh yeah, I didn't even mention them in your intro.

374
00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:32,680
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, Well, and it's just kind of another one

375
00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:35,120
Speaker 5: of the things that I do like a side work.

376
00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:39,880
Speaker 5: But they had a piece out that was titled the

377
00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:42,720
Speaker 5: idea of it was the forgotten twenty twenty two draft

378
00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:43,960
Speaker 5: picks that could make an impact.

379
00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:45,640
Speaker 4: Oh okay, that's a good one.

380
00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:48,280
Speaker 5: And John Metchie is an obvious candidate for that because

381
00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:50,960
Speaker 5: it was easy to forget a football context, easy to

382
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:53,480
Speaker 5: forget about him because he didn't play. Sure, but like

383
00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:54,880
Speaker 5: to me, he should be at the top of the list,

384
00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:58,760
Speaker 5: and certainly for the Texans. And so I think that

385
00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:02,720
Speaker 5: despite being uncomfortable about talking about him and wanting to

386
00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:06,239
Speaker 5: be like really focused on his physical health, just as

387
00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:09,840
Speaker 5: a human being, I am very very much excited to

388
00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:12,120
Speaker 5: see how he can contribute and where he fits into

389
00:17:12,119 --> 00:17:13,560
Speaker 5: the mix of this wire because there's been a lot

390
00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:15,440
Speaker 5: of conversation DP, especially.

391
00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:16,240
Speaker 4: In the wide receiver group.

392
00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:19,400
Speaker 5: As all oh on Sports Radio sixteen, we've hammered it home,

393
00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:21,639
Speaker 5: like we don't know, we're not really sure about the

394
00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:24,120
Speaker 5: wide receiver group what they We even brought it straight

395
00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:25,959
Speaker 5: to Denico Ryans when he appeared on with us, and

396
00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:27,680
Speaker 5: of course you know he believes in his guys, but

397
00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:30,919
Speaker 5: we're like, ah, we don't know. But John Matchie absolutely

398
00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:33,800
Speaker 5: adds a different element and is a different factor in

399
00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:34,280
Speaker 5: all of that.

400
00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:34,640
Speaker 2: Yeah.

401
00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:36,720
Speaker 3: I mean even last year when he was going through

402
00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:38,720
Speaker 3: his diagnosis, we would see him walking through the locker

403
00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:41,080
Speaker 3: room just we'd be covering the locker room with you know,

404
00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:42,680
Speaker 3: the players that were playing the game at the time,

405
00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:45,320
Speaker 3: and they all just you know, he there's something about

406
00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:47,480
Speaker 3: him that's very magnetic, and it's.

407
00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:49,000
Speaker 4: Not the leukemi. I think it's just who he is

408
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:49,560
Speaker 4: as a person.

409
00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:52,680
Speaker 3: He's just very positive and everyone's just sort of drawn

410
00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:54,800
Speaker 3: to him. I've seen him quite a bit just as

411
00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:56,600
Speaker 3: soon as the season ended. He was always out here

412
00:17:56,640 --> 00:17:58,760
Speaker 3: doing his workouts on the field. So I think when

413
00:17:58,800 --> 00:18:03,080
Speaker 3: he does return football in whatever capacity that is or

414
00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:04,800
Speaker 3: what that might look like, it's going to be a

415
00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:06,680
Speaker 3: huge story. And I think we're just sort of all

416
00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:09,520
Speaker 3: really rooting him on in a like, I like how

417
00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:12,439
Speaker 3: you put it, no, no real expectations of him. I

418
00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:14,280
Speaker 3: think that's so unfair to put that on someone that's

419
00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:16,400
Speaker 3: been through what he's been through. But if and when

420
00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:19,119
Speaker 3: he does come back, that's going to be a huge story.

421
00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:22,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think it's fair not to do the heavy expectation,

422
00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:25,440
Speaker 5: but also I would say fun to do the what

423
00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:27,159
Speaker 5: if to play the because I mean, we're at that

424
00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:29,240
Speaker 5: point of the season now, like they haven't played yet,

425
00:18:29,320 --> 00:18:31,840
Speaker 5: so you know, we're talking about this going into training camp.

426
00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:34,360
Speaker 5: You can play the what if game. And I have

427
00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:38,520
Speaker 5: only recently allowed myself to play the what if game

428
00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:44,160
Speaker 5: with John Mitchie saying, Okay, what if John Mitchie's really good?

429
00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:47,880
Speaker 5: What if John Mitchie is some version of the guy

430
00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:52,080
Speaker 5: that they drafted Alabama talk about forgotten guys, and I

431
00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:53,840
Speaker 5: think this was a lot of this piece that I

432
00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:56,200
Speaker 5: mentioned from Bleacher Report was a lot in the context

433
00:18:56,200 --> 00:18:58,320
Speaker 5: of you know, maybe guys that just didn't have an

434
00:18:58,320 --> 00:19:00,800
Speaker 5: impactful rookie year. But with him not playing at all,

435
00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:03,080
Speaker 5: I think it's been easy to forget, Like he hasn't

436
00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:05,600
Speaker 5: played in the NFL, and maybe it's just easy to

437
00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:07,159
Speaker 5: forget what he was at Alabama.

438
00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:09,439
Speaker 4: He's two years removed from playing.

439
00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:11,520
Speaker 5: This guy was a player, he was like, this guy

440
00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:14,959
Speaker 5: was an all out baller at Alabama, and so if

441
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:17,600
Speaker 5: he's any version of that, the Texans and certainly the

442
00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:18,960
Speaker 5: Texans fans, are in for a treat.

443
00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:19,240
Speaker 2: Yeah.

444
00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:22,800
Speaker 3: I think when Damiko Ryan said, everything's on target, and

445
00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:24,399
Speaker 3: I think John Metchi will be good to go.

446
00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:26,280
Speaker 4: For training camp. I think that's when we started to

447
00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:26,960
Speaker 4: get a.

448
00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:29,479
Speaker 3: Little excited about MATCHI again, So that's that's one of

449
00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:32,040
Speaker 3: my burning questions. What about you got another burning question

450
00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:32,520
Speaker 3: for camp?

451
00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:36,720
Speaker 5: Yeah, and so I'll just stick with the wide receivers here. Okay,

452
00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:39,080
Speaker 5: gotten to the defensive side. But there's so many, I guess,

453
00:19:39,680 --> 00:19:42,639
Speaker 5: interesting and fun burning questions on the offensive side of

454
00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:45,639
Speaker 5: the ball. But maybe this has been a question for

455
00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:48,480
Speaker 5: me every training camp for the past three years. But

456
00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:49,920
Speaker 5: I'm gonna go ahead and do this.

457
00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:50,560
Speaker 4: Go ahead.

458
00:19:51,040 --> 00:19:54,040
Speaker 5: What is Nicocollins? What is he is?

459
00:19:54,080 --> 00:19:54,600
Speaker 4: This the year?

460
00:19:54,920 --> 00:19:57,480
Speaker 5: Yeah? Because I mean you're out there, DP you see

461
00:19:57,480 --> 00:19:57,920
Speaker 5: that guy.

462
00:19:58,160 --> 00:20:00,879
Speaker 4: I mean he makes some phenomen one little catches in

463
00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:02,199
Speaker 4: practice and in camp.

464
00:20:02,520 --> 00:20:05,440
Speaker 5: He is the ultimate looks the part guy. Absolutely, he

465
00:20:05,480 --> 00:20:08,399
Speaker 5: looks the part. And honestly, and I've said this before,

466
00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:11,320
Speaker 5: I'll say it again, prior to his injury last year,

467
00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:14,760
Speaker 5: early on in the season, Yeah, I thought Nico Collins

468
00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:17,000
Speaker 5: was making strides and taking steps. I know the offense

469
00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:19,000
Speaker 5: struggled quite a bit, and you know, how much do

470
00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:21,720
Speaker 5: you want to factor in how much they struggled, what

471
00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:24,719
Speaker 5: the talent makeup of was of the team and all

472
00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:26,919
Speaker 5: that you can you can talk about that, but just

473
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:30,159
Speaker 5: in a vacuum his performance, I thought Nico Collins was

474
00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:32,679
Speaker 5: taking some extra steps and I want to see if

475
00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:35,240
Speaker 5: there's another step for him to take in year three.

476
00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:38,160
Speaker 5: And you know, if the if the quarterback situation is different,

477
00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:41,080
Speaker 5: which we suspected very well could be with CJ. Stroud,

478
00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:44,680
Speaker 5: how does and of course Bobby slowk as the offensive

479
00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:47,240
Speaker 5: coordinator and play caller, how does all of that factor

480
00:20:47,320 --> 00:20:50,879
Speaker 5: in into Nico Collins's development and where is he at in

481
00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:54,560
Speaker 5: year three? I feel like going into camp, he's certainly

482
00:20:54,560 --> 00:20:56,320
Speaker 5: going to be somebody to watch, but how does it

483
00:20:56,359 --> 00:20:59,440
Speaker 5: translate onto the field once the game start mattering? Nico

484
00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:02,399
Speaker 5: Collins is like he's almost like a camp crush, you know,

485
00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:03,800
Speaker 5: somebody that you just.

486
00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:05,560
Speaker 4: Can't quite over the years.

487
00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:07,800
Speaker 5: Yeah. I will say though too, a thing that I

488
00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:08,919
Speaker 5: noticed from being out.

489
00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:10,600
Speaker 4: There wide receiver group. Oh yeah, go ahead.

490
00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:13,080
Speaker 5: Well just on the wide receiver group though, with Nico,

491
00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:17,760
Speaker 5: he and Robert Woods were like a tandem. Robert Woods,

492
00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:20,720
Speaker 5: the veteran that they signed, obviously accomplished two guys that

493
00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:23,720
Speaker 5: walked around like they were the top guys. I don't

494
00:21:23,800 --> 00:21:25,159
Speaker 5: know that to be the case that they are the

495
00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:28,000
Speaker 5: top guys, but they certainly look like it from my

496
00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:30,439
Speaker 5: observations when I was out there. They're the ones that

497
00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:34,640
Speaker 5: are taking the very specific work with the quarterbacks. They

498
00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:36,560
Speaker 5: were attached at the hip on the sideline when they

499
00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:39,760
Speaker 5: weren't involved in a specific drill. So what is Nico

500
00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:43,640
Speaker 5: Collins is a camp question that I hope I feel

501
00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:45,360
Speaker 5: like I've got a better answer to by the time

502
00:21:45,400 --> 00:21:45,720
Speaker 5: camp in.

503
00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:48,040
Speaker 3: I think it's because you really want someone to fill

504
00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:49,440
Speaker 3: in that number one receiver spot.

505
00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:50,320
Speaker 4: You got no more.

506
00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:53,080
Speaker 3: Brandon Cooks, and Nico's been the one that's been here

507
00:21:53,119 --> 00:21:55,400
Speaker 3: the longest, even though the system has changed every year

508
00:21:55,400 --> 00:21:58,240
Speaker 3: that he's been here, unfortunately for him, and he's dealt

509
00:21:58,280 --> 00:21:59,920
Speaker 3: with injuries. But then you bring in Robert Woods, you

510
00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:02,600
Speaker 3: got Tank Dell, who's super exciting to watch. And then

511
00:22:02,600 --> 00:22:04,320
Speaker 3: there were a couple of guys that I thought had

512
00:22:04,359 --> 00:22:08,240
Speaker 3: some pretty good OTAs in Minnie Camp, Johnny Johnson, Jared Wayne,

513
00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:11,359
Speaker 3: Alex Bachmann. I feel like he's he always is, you know,

514
00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:13,480
Speaker 3: shows up here in the on the off season as well,

515
00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:15,040
Speaker 3: so like he was in every drill.

516
00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:18,080
Speaker 4: And you don't want to read.

517
00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:19,760
Speaker 3: Too much into it, but then you know when someone's

518
00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:22,159
Speaker 3: having such a great off season or and or camp,

519
00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:23,960
Speaker 3: then you think like they've really got a.

520
00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:24,920
Speaker 4: Shot to make this roster.

521
00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:26,680
Speaker 3: But I think the wide receiver group as a whole,

522
00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:28,800
Speaker 3: I mean, that's one that's had sort of the biggest

523
00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:30,560
Speaker 3: question marks. And then of course you go out and

524
00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:33,840
Speaker 3: you draft a guy Xavier Hutchinson, who I thought he

525
00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:36,000
Speaker 3: he looked he looked pretty pretty good out there as

526
00:22:36,040 --> 00:22:39,639
Speaker 3: well in the few drills you know that that I

527
00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:40,199
Speaker 3: saw him in.

528
00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:42,639
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think with the Xavier Hutchinson, he's kind of

529
00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:45,879
Speaker 5: a wild card in terms of like this wasn't a

530
00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:47,960
Speaker 5: guy that was drafted in one of the high rounds,

531
00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:50,040
Speaker 5: but when you look at his career at Iowa State,

532
00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:54,760
Speaker 5: like he was super productive and it's hard to argue

533
00:22:54,760 --> 00:22:57,359
Speaker 5: with production. It's the same thing with you know, similar

534
00:22:57,359 --> 00:23:00,320
Speaker 5: with c J. Stroud, similar with Will Anderson. Have whatever

535
00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:02,639
Speaker 5: question marks you want to have about any guy, but

536
00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:06,199
Speaker 5: you can't argue with just flat out production. You know,

537
00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:08,280
Speaker 5: like you've got the evidence right there, and he's one

538
00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:11,159
Speaker 5: of those guys who, hey, he might not have the

539
00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:13,760
Speaker 5: measurables that jump off the charge to jump off the

540
00:23:13,760 --> 00:23:17,440
Speaker 5: screen to you necessarily, but the guy plays football. Knows football,

541
00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:19,919
Speaker 5: so I'm interested to see how he factors into a

542
00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:24,720
Speaker 5: group that doesn't necessarily have someone that's distinguishing themselves as

543
00:23:25,280 --> 00:23:27,240
Speaker 5: far and away the guy like I could very well

544
00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:29,720
Speaker 5: see him playing his way into the mix. So I'm

545
00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:31,400
Speaker 5: intrigued by Xavier Hutchinson as well.

546
00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:33,520
Speaker 2: All Right, deep, He's gonna have more Brandon Scott on

547
00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:37,600
Speaker 2: the other side, including which rookies should we all be

548
00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:40,440
Speaker 2: paying attention to in training camp? I know I've got some,

549
00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:42,480
Speaker 2: and Seth and I talked about one in particular. You

550
00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:45,119
Speaker 2: just heard that name, Xavier Hutchinson. What about be Scott?

551
00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:48,600
Speaker 2: Who's who does he have his eyes on for training camp?

552
00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:51,000
Speaker 2: Coming up here in a few weeks, three weeks from

572
00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:47,040
Speaker 2: for a little deep slant interview. They talked about any

573
00:24:47,080 --> 00:24:49,679
Speaker 2: number of things, and when we left, they were about

574
00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:53,000
Speaker 2: to discuss the rookies that Brandon will have his eye on,

575
00:24:53,480 --> 00:24:56,879
Speaker 2: his eyes on as we get to training camp sething.

576
00:24:56,920 --> 00:24:59,320
Speaker 2: I talked about Xavier Hutchinson and what he could bring

577
00:24:59,359 --> 00:25:01,120
Speaker 2: to this organization.

578
00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:02,960

Speaker 2: Actually, the training camp till twenty sixth, three weeks from today.

580
00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:08,359
Speaker 1: Who are the rookies? Brandon Scott's got his eyes on.

581
00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:10,080
Speaker 3: Take listen, all right, I got a question for you,

582
00:25:10,119 --> 00:25:11,720
Speaker 3: And this is a question that I feel like comes

583
00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:15,720
Speaker 3: up every year in camp. Rookies that could earn starting

584
00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:18,280
Speaker 3: roles that are really gonna stand out once those pads

585
00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:18,600
Speaker 3: come on.

586
00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:20,600
Speaker 4: All right, we talked about c J.

587
00:25:20,720 --> 00:25:23,000
Speaker 3: Stroud, Let's talk about some of the other Who are

588
00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:25,040
Speaker 3: some of the other rookies you think could be bona

589
00:25:25,080 --> 00:25:25,760
Speaker 3: fide starters.

590
00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:28,080
Speaker 5: This is gonna be the test for me and I'm

591
00:25:28,119 --> 00:25:29,680
Speaker 5: gonna I'm gonna try it and do it here.

592
00:25:30,320 --> 00:25:35,159
Speaker 3: Henry Totoe, Yeah, right, yeah, Toa Toa, He's one that

593
00:25:35,200 --> 00:25:37,680
Speaker 3: I've talked about quite a bit too. Yeah, just because

594
00:25:37,680 --> 00:25:40,920
Speaker 3: he's intriguing in the middle with that middle linebacker position.

595
00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:43,240
Speaker 3: He's played with Christian Harris before, right.

596
00:25:43,240 --> 00:25:45,840
Speaker 5: Right, So all you got to consider all of that.

597
00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:49,600
Speaker 5: He's being coached is head coach is a linebacker room

598
00:25:49,640 --> 00:25:52,960
Speaker 5: so and Alabama linebacker with that, Yeah, just all of

599
00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:55,800
Speaker 5: the ties just make you think, Okay, there's got to

600
00:25:55,840 --> 00:25:58,800
Speaker 5: be something there. The makeover ed linebacker. I think they

601
00:25:58,880 --> 00:26:00,720
Speaker 5: brought in what I FI we joked about this on

602
00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:03,080
Speaker 5: the air that they brought in like seventy five linebackers,

603
00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:06,919
Speaker 5: and of course that's not the number. Yeah, since the.

604
00:26:08,480 --> 00:26:08,680
Speaker 4: Here.

605
00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:10,840
Speaker 5: Well, yeah, if you want to add that the one

606
00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:13,600
Speaker 5: hundred and seventy five. But yeah, it definitely feels like

607
00:26:13,640 --> 00:26:16,600
Speaker 5: over the off season that between free agency and then

608
00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:19,040
Speaker 5: of course the drafting of to told that they have

609
00:26:19,280 --> 00:26:22,760
Speaker 5: made this let's call it, a position of priority, and

610
00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:26,280
Speaker 5: so I want to see exactly how he factors in

611
00:26:26,400 --> 00:26:28,760
Speaker 5: all of that. Henry tol Told is someone that I

612
00:26:28,800 --> 00:26:32,119
Speaker 5: feel like Nick Asserio has spoken about. You know, he

613
00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:34,560
Speaker 5: did an interview with us on sports Radio six 't

614
00:26:34,560 --> 00:26:36,560
Speaker 5: ten in the morning with Painting Pendergas where he brought

615
00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:40,480
Speaker 5: up Henry tol Told unsolicited. He wasn't asked about Henry Tolte.

616
00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:44,200
Speaker 5: He just brought him up, you know. And whenever that happens,

617
00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:46,880
Speaker 5: you know this like when you interview somebody and when

618
00:26:46,880 --> 00:26:53,480
Speaker 5: you're doing media, when someone brings up a person or

619
00:26:53,600 --> 00:26:58,840
Speaker 5: thing that was not necessarily in the question, that's noteworthy, right,

620
00:26:59,040 --> 00:27:01,439
Speaker 5: Like it's not just no worthy how they answer your question,

621
00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:04,640
Speaker 5: but also the things that they redirect toward and want

622
00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:07,320
Speaker 5: to talk about. The fact that the general manager specifically

623
00:27:07,400 --> 00:27:09,920
Speaker 5: wanted to talk about the guy makes me intrigued by him,

624
00:27:09,960 --> 00:27:12,800
Speaker 5: so you asked me. But it's between two things. The

625
00:27:12,840 --> 00:27:16,040
Speaker 5: fact that they've made a concerted effort to make over

626
00:27:16,280 --> 00:27:19,320
Speaker 5: the lineback and core in some capacity, and how they've

627
00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:21,480
Speaker 5: talked about him since he's been here. So yeah, that's

628
00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:24,000
Speaker 5: what Iran with certainly to watch out for. And not

629
00:27:24,080 --> 00:27:26,480
Speaker 5: a name that you hear a lot about, right, No, I.

630
00:27:26,359 --> 00:27:27,560
Speaker 4: Think that we will get to know.

631
00:27:27,680 --> 00:27:31,520
Speaker 3: We saw him getting some first team reps here in Minichamp,

632
00:27:31,520 --> 00:27:33,520
Speaker 3: which I thought was noteworthy to see him out there

633
00:27:33,600 --> 00:27:35,879
Speaker 3: quite a bit, and they were mixing and matching, you know,

634
00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:38,359
Speaker 3: based on like whatever date was. But I thought the

635
00:27:38,480 --> 00:27:40,640
Speaker 3: number of first team reps he got was very interesting

636
00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:42,960
Speaker 3: and he's definitely someone to watch. I think the obvious

637
00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:46,040
Speaker 3: one for me is Tank Dell. You know, he's just flash.

638
00:27:46,240 --> 00:27:47,159
Speaker 3: You know, he wears a necklace.

639
00:27:47,160 --> 00:27:48,080
Speaker 4: Flash. He is a flash.

640
00:27:48,119 --> 00:27:50,800
Speaker 3: He he looks Drew and I, Drew Doerdy and I

641
00:27:50,840 --> 00:27:54,320
Speaker 3: were talking about how we thought he'd be smaller stepping

642
00:27:54,320 --> 00:27:56,200
Speaker 3: out there the first time, and you know, because everyone

643
00:27:56,240 --> 00:27:58,479
Speaker 3: just talks about his size, he wasn't that small, but

644
00:27:58,520 --> 00:28:01,000
Speaker 3: he was just so fast that I think that just

645
00:28:01,040 --> 00:28:03,239
Speaker 3: sort of compensates for it. And I think seeing him

646
00:28:03,280 --> 00:28:06,080
Speaker 3: on the return team and seeing his chemistry with CJ.

647
00:28:06,119 --> 00:28:08,880
Speaker 3: Stroud and with Davis Mills was exciting.

648
00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:12,960
Speaker 5: So I have, I think reverse logic on small guys

649
00:28:12,960 --> 00:28:16,040
Speaker 5: who played football. Okay, I am terrified of the little

650
00:28:16,040 --> 00:28:16,840
Speaker 5: guys who played for you.

651
00:28:16,840 --> 00:28:19,119
Speaker 4: Think they play bigger, bigger for a reason.

652
00:28:19,280 --> 00:28:22,960
Speaker 5: Come on, Yeah, if you can be Tank Deal size

653
00:28:23,440 --> 00:28:26,159
Speaker 5: and make it to the NFL, you've got to be

654
00:28:26,200 --> 00:28:27,120
Speaker 5: some type of tough guy.

655
00:28:27,240 --> 00:28:27,520
Speaker 4: Sure.

656
00:28:27,760 --> 00:28:29,840
Speaker 5: So, like you know, when they were having the questions

657
00:28:29,880 --> 00:28:33,440
Speaker 5: about Bryce young is a could he be an NFL

658
00:28:33,520 --> 00:28:36,199
Speaker 5: quarterback at his size? And you know the Texans end

659
00:28:36,320 --> 00:28:38,800
Speaker 5: up drafting Tank Deal. Is he big enough to play

660
00:28:38,800 --> 00:28:41,640
Speaker 5: the position? I'm like, guys, how many of you have

661
00:28:41,760 --> 00:28:46,000
Speaker 5: played sports with a small Like anybody who I've ever

662
00:28:46,040 --> 00:28:49,560
Speaker 5: seen play sports that was smaller and was good, they

663
00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:53,200
Speaker 5: were always had some like extra level of toughness to them.

664
00:28:53,240 --> 00:28:56,520
Speaker 3: Right, So yeah, or some physical trait that you just

665
00:28:56,640 --> 00:28:59,560
Speaker 3: can't that is that that compensates.

666
00:28:58,880 --> 00:29:00,440
Speaker 4: For that lack of size or height.

667
00:29:00,560 --> 00:29:00,760
Speaker 5: Yeah?

668
00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:02,800
Speaker 4: Right, And for him it's probably his speed.

669
00:29:02,960 --> 00:29:06,560
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's his speed, but also shift shifting us. Yeah, shiftingess.

670
00:29:06,640 --> 00:29:09,600
Speaker 5: But also I think that there's something to being the

671
00:29:09,680 --> 00:29:13,080
Speaker 5: smaller person that plays the tough the tough person's game

672
00:29:13,680 --> 00:29:16,320
Speaker 5: to where you don't I'm not saying he feels like

673
00:29:16,360 --> 00:29:19,160
Speaker 5: he's got something to prove. But you're fully aware that

674
00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:22,520
Speaker 5: you're smaller than everybody, and I think that they compensate

675
00:29:22,600 --> 00:29:25,280
Speaker 5: for it with some physical attribute or skill like you're

676
00:29:25,320 --> 00:29:27,800
Speaker 5: talking about, but also with some toughness too, because you're

677
00:29:27,840 --> 00:29:30,920
Speaker 5: already small. You can't you can't be like scared or

678
00:29:30,960 --> 00:29:34,800
Speaker 5: timid or anything because you're already undersized. So like, I

679
00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:39,600
Speaker 5: almost look at the the size as a weapon because

680
00:29:39,680 --> 00:29:41,520
Speaker 5: they know how to use it to their advantage. And

681
00:29:41,520 --> 00:29:43,720
Speaker 5: then also I think that they've internalized it in some

682
00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:46,600
Speaker 5: kind of way that's made them compensate for it and

683
00:29:46,720 --> 00:29:49,800
Speaker 5: toughness as well. So I've got no concern with a

684
00:29:49,840 --> 00:29:53,520
Speaker 5: guy who's small like that. It's more about schematically getting

685
00:29:53,520 --> 00:29:56,160
Speaker 5: them open. And from what I can tell, Tank Dell

686
00:29:56,280 --> 00:29:57,560
Speaker 5: is a dude that can get himself home.

687
00:29:57,680 --> 00:29:58,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, he's hard to cover.

688
00:29:58,840 --> 00:30:01,400
Speaker 3: Apparently even Nikos here said no one can cover him

689
00:30:01,440 --> 00:30:03,760
Speaker 3: at the Senior Bowl, and I've heard from a lot.

690
00:30:03,680 --> 00:30:04,600
Speaker 4: Of analysts PFF.

691
00:30:04,800 --> 00:30:06,880
Speaker 3: I think I spoke with someone from PFF, Sam Monson,

692
00:30:06,920 --> 00:30:08,920
Speaker 3: who said he was hard to cover in the in

693
00:30:08,960 --> 00:30:10,320
Speaker 3: college and be hard to cover in.

694
00:30:10,280 --> 00:30:12,880
Speaker 4: The NFL as well. All Right, So let's get to

695
00:30:12,960 --> 00:30:15,640
Speaker 4: the big looming elephant in the room, c J. Stroud.

696
00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:17,600
Speaker 3: I mean, what's going to happen there? We're talking about

697
00:30:17,640 --> 00:30:20,480
Speaker 3: rookies that could be starters, and from what we've seen

698
00:30:20,520 --> 00:30:23,520
Speaker 3: in mini camp and OTAs, is that something that he

699
00:30:24,120 --> 00:30:26,560
Speaker 3: establishes as I'm the starter of the team in camp?

700
00:30:26,920 --> 00:30:28,960
Speaker 5: The best way I can put it, DP is that

701
00:30:29,520 --> 00:30:32,160
Speaker 5: c J. Stroud is clearly here for a reason. They

702
00:30:32,160 --> 00:30:34,800
Speaker 5: didn't just draft them for their own edification or just

703
00:30:34,840 --> 00:30:37,920
Speaker 5: for you know what's and giggles. They drafted him for

704
00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:38,480
Speaker 5: a reason.

705
00:30:38,720 --> 00:30:41,920
Speaker 3: They you don't draft someone number two overall, Yeah, and

706
00:30:41,960 --> 00:30:43,040
Speaker 3: then just stash him away.

707
00:30:43,280 --> 00:30:46,880
Speaker 5: That's exactly right. And so I don't know when it

708
00:30:46,920 --> 00:30:51,080
Speaker 5: happens exactly, but it happens at some point where this

709
00:30:51,200 --> 00:30:53,320
Speaker 5: becomes his team. The burning question.

710
00:30:53,160 --> 00:30:54,880
Speaker 4: Is will it be in camp or will it be

711
00:30:54,960 --> 00:30:55,640
Speaker 4: during the season?

712
00:30:55,720 --> 00:30:58,040
Speaker 5: Right, It's fun. I did this, We did this segment

713
00:30:58,080 --> 00:31:01,040
Speaker 5: earlier in the day on a radio when if you

714
00:31:01,080 --> 00:31:04,280
Speaker 5: had to predict when does c J. Stroud get named

715
00:31:04,320 --> 00:31:06,960
Speaker 5: the starter? When is this? When does that moment come?

716
00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:09,800
Speaker 5: And I just you know, spitballing made the prediction of

717
00:31:09,840 --> 00:31:13,680
Speaker 5: some time between it's gonna be between the second and

718
00:31:13,800 --> 00:31:16,520
Speaker 5: third weeks of the preseason, so after the joint practicing

719
00:31:16,800 --> 00:31:22,080
Speaker 5: and preseason game against Miami and before New Orleans. Okay,

720
00:31:22,160 --> 00:31:25,800
Speaker 5: and that's just a prediction projection. No one is is

721
00:31:25,840 --> 00:31:26,520
Speaker 5: being held to that.

722
00:31:26,520 --> 00:31:29,320
Speaker 3: That's just he does not know any secret knowledge or

723
00:31:29,320 --> 00:31:32,760
Speaker 3: he doesn't have a crystal ball.

724
00:31:33,680 --> 00:31:38,680
Speaker 5: Projection. But but the idea for me is that he's

725
00:31:38,720 --> 00:31:42,200
Speaker 5: here for a reason, and which I said, but on

726
00:31:42,280 --> 00:31:45,720
Speaker 5: top of that, like it comes down to the only

727
00:31:45,760 --> 00:31:48,320
Speaker 5: way it doesn't happen is if he shows if he

728
00:31:48,360 --> 00:31:50,760
Speaker 5: gives him a reason not to like if he could,

729
00:31:51,080 --> 00:31:55,800
Speaker 5: If his performance in camp and in the preseason just

730
00:31:55,920 --> 00:31:59,280
Speaker 5: confirms what was already the feeling on c J. Stroud,

731
00:31:59,560 --> 00:32:02,080
Speaker 5: then I have a hard time believing because those feelings

732
00:32:02,120 --> 00:32:06,360
Speaker 5: and thoughts are positive overall. So if all he does

733
00:32:06,440 --> 00:32:08,840
Speaker 5: is just confirm those feelings, and there's gonna be a

734
00:32:08,920 --> 00:32:10,360
Speaker 5: learning curve. It's not to say that he's going to

735
00:32:10,440 --> 00:32:12,200
Speaker 5: be perfect or make a great throw every time or

736
00:32:12,240 --> 00:32:14,640
Speaker 5: make a great decision every time, but if he's just

737
00:32:14,760 --> 00:32:17,600
Speaker 5: consistent with what they thought him to be, then I

738
00:32:17,600 --> 00:32:20,960
Speaker 5: think it's you know, I think it's basically his job

739
00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:23,160
Speaker 5: to claim it's just about the timing of it, and

740
00:32:23,200 --> 00:32:25,240
Speaker 5: I gave you my prediction. I think it'll happen well

741
00:32:25,280 --> 00:32:26,240
Speaker 5: before the season starts.

742
00:32:26,280 --> 00:32:29,000
Speaker 3: All right, I'm gonna give you one. On the defensive side.

743
00:32:29,040 --> 00:32:31,760
Speaker 3: I think there's been a lot of chatter about Derek Stingley. Yes,

744
00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:34,080
Speaker 3: him looking muscular, him looking bigger.

745
00:32:34,320 --> 00:32:35,600
Speaker 4: Last year was disappointing.

746
00:32:35,640 --> 00:32:37,600
Speaker 3: He ended it, you know, with injury, and then we

747
00:32:37,640 --> 00:32:39,840
Speaker 3: saw what happened with saus Gardner and itets defensive Rookie

748
00:32:39,840 --> 00:32:40,280
Speaker 3: of the Year.

749
00:32:40,560 --> 00:32:41,200
Speaker 4: There's a new.

750
00:32:41,080 --> 00:32:44,040
Speaker 3: System, it's a new playbook, it's a new coaching staff.

751
00:32:44,040 --> 00:32:47,160
Speaker 3: It's a new year for Derek Stingley. I'm very intrigued

752
00:32:47,200 --> 00:32:49,200
Speaker 3: by what we're going to see out of him in camp.

753
00:32:49,320 --> 00:32:52,360
Speaker 5: Yeah. I am a card carrying member of the Derek

754
00:32:52,400 --> 00:32:53,360
Speaker 5: Stingley Fan Club.

755
00:32:53,480 --> 00:32:57,680
Speaker 3: Okay, so that may be not member of one's. There's

756
00:32:57,680 --> 00:32:59,120
Speaker 3: plenty of members in that club.

757
00:32:59,200 --> 00:33:01,440
Speaker 5: There's plenty of memory. There are some skeptics, and I

758
00:33:01,480 --> 00:33:04,640
Speaker 5: think some of it is fair because of the injury history,

759
00:33:04,680 --> 00:33:08,480
Speaker 5: Like he hasn't really completed a season healthy, you know,

760
00:33:08,480 --> 00:33:10,760
Speaker 5: in three you know, in three seasons since he burst

761
00:33:10,760 --> 00:33:13,040
Speaker 5: onto the scene as a freshman at LSU in twenty nineteen,

762
00:33:13,080 --> 00:33:14,960
Speaker 5: which was a historic year on a number of levels

763
00:33:14,960 --> 00:33:19,560
Speaker 5: for LSU. But to me, just the player profile projects

764
00:33:19,600 --> 00:33:23,320
Speaker 5: this one that should be an elite player in this league.

765
00:33:23,440 --> 00:33:25,840
Speaker 5: All he's got to do is answer the health question

766
00:33:26,040 --> 00:33:29,000
Speaker 5: and stay on the field. I have almost no concerns

767
00:33:29,000 --> 00:33:32,040
Speaker 5: about Derek Stingley as a player. It's simply answering the

768
00:33:32,080 --> 00:33:35,680
Speaker 5: health question. So you know, I'm optimistic about that, And

769
00:33:35,760 --> 00:33:38,600
Speaker 5: why wouldn't you be, especially this time of year, you

770
00:33:38,640 --> 00:33:42,520
Speaker 5: want to like wish help on a guy, even if

771
00:33:42,560 --> 00:33:44,280
Speaker 5: it's not a guy on a team that you're root for.

772
00:33:44,720 --> 00:33:46,320
Speaker 5: You know you don't. You don't want to see a

773
00:33:46,320 --> 00:33:49,200
Speaker 5: guy's career not work out for any other reason of

774
00:33:49,240 --> 00:33:53,120
Speaker 5: his like, aside from his own performance. So I'm I'm

775
00:33:53,160 --> 00:33:55,920
Speaker 5: looking forward to Derek Stingeley, especially in the new system

776
00:33:56,200 --> 00:33:58,920
Speaker 5: of my guy Seth Payne, who you know, a friend

777
00:33:58,960 --> 00:34:02,320
Speaker 5: of ours colleague original text and Seth pain Yes, LI

778
00:34:02,360 --> 00:34:06,880
Speaker 5: likened it to last year with Derek Stingley. He compared

779
00:34:06,920 --> 00:34:08,960
Speaker 5: to driving a Ferrari in a school zone.

780
00:34:09,040 --> 00:34:10,200
Speaker 4: I remember hearing this.

781
00:34:10,440 --> 00:34:12,920
Speaker 5: Which is one of my favorite analogies or comparisons that

782
00:34:12,920 --> 00:34:13,319
Speaker 5: I've heard.

783
00:34:13,440 --> 00:34:14,640
Speaker 4: The thing that you drafted him.

784
00:34:14,520 --> 00:34:16,359
Speaker 3: For what he was so good at doing you never

785
00:34:16,560 --> 00:34:18,840
Speaker 3: used him in that capacity.

786
00:34:18,400 --> 00:34:21,000
Speaker 5: Yes, yes, So to get the Ferrari out on the

787
00:34:21,120 --> 00:34:24,160
Speaker 5: racetrack or wherever it's appropriate to drive really really fast,

788
00:34:24,760 --> 00:34:27,560
Speaker 5: is it is something that I'm looking forward to, all right,

789
00:34:27,600 --> 00:34:29,319
Speaker 5: dere extantly, Absolutely.

790
00:34:28,840 --> 00:34:30,919
Speaker 3: Okay, I'm looking forward to. Well, any other burning camp

791
00:34:31,000 --> 00:34:32,640
Speaker 3: questions for you, Brandon Scott.

792
00:34:32,440 --> 00:34:35,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, well I think that the defense. So we talked

793
00:34:35,040 --> 00:34:37,480
Speaker 5: a little bit about Henry Tote. Yeah, but just to

794
00:34:37,480 --> 00:34:39,160
Speaker 5: not make it specific to him, I would just say

795
00:34:39,200 --> 00:34:41,600
Speaker 5: the linebackers in general. I think it's going to be

796
00:34:42,080 --> 00:34:44,840
Speaker 5: an upgraded position. I just don't know exactly what it

797
00:34:44,880 --> 00:34:46,960
Speaker 5: all is going to look like, and so maybe I

798
00:34:46,960 --> 00:34:48,640
Speaker 5: get a better sense for that by the end of camp,

799
00:34:48,680 --> 00:34:51,280
Speaker 5: and I we could lump in the entire front seven

800
00:34:51,360 --> 00:34:52,160
Speaker 5: into that mix.

801
00:34:52,239 --> 00:34:53,879
Speaker 3: I just think that, Yeah, because we haven't even talked

802
00:34:53,880 --> 00:34:56,920
Speaker 3: about Will Anderson or John Gernard or Jerry Hughes and

803
00:34:57,520 --> 00:34:59,920
Speaker 3: and think about that, there's a lot of potential there Will.

804
00:34:59,760 --> 00:35:04,400
Speaker 5: An and Jonathan Grenard as or Will Anderson and Jerry

805
00:35:04,480 --> 00:35:09,560
Speaker 5: Hughes as a pass rushing dynamic, or let's say all

806
00:35:09,600 --> 00:35:12,880
Speaker 5: of those guys and insert your favorite past Russian interior

807
00:35:12,920 --> 00:35:16,080
Speaker 5: guy or even you know, whoever's left over as an

808
00:35:16,160 --> 00:35:18,040
Speaker 5: edge rusher, and they line up all of those guys

809
00:35:18,080 --> 00:35:20,640
Speaker 5: along the defensive line and obvious pass reston situations. I

810
00:35:20,719 --> 00:35:23,920
Speaker 5: feel comfortable talking about this now because Nick Cirio actually

811
00:35:23,920 --> 00:35:26,040
Speaker 5: mentioned it in an interview. But we saw that, we

812
00:35:26,080 --> 00:35:29,640
Speaker 5: saw them dummy that out of Let's just put all

813
00:35:29,680 --> 00:35:31,959
Speaker 5: of our best athletes on the front, on the front

814
00:35:31,960 --> 00:35:34,560
Speaker 5: line here and see what we got. And so in

815
00:35:34,600 --> 00:35:37,040
Speaker 5: that case, you see Will Anderson lining up inside. So

816
00:35:37,760 --> 00:35:41,719
Speaker 5: what does this front seven look like, especially in comparison

817
00:35:41,719 --> 00:35:43,680
Speaker 5: to the way it's looked over the last couple of years,

818
00:35:44,120 --> 00:35:47,640
Speaker 5: and a place where they obviously need to upgrade and

819
00:35:47,680 --> 00:35:49,520
Speaker 5: to play better. Let's just be flat out about it.

820
00:35:49,640 --> 00:35:51,839
Speaker 5: They've got to be better there. I think they are

821
00:35:51,920 --> 00:35:55,080
Speaker 5: better there? How much better? What does that camp battle

822
00:35:55,120 --> 00:35:57,880
Speaker 5: look like with an offensive line that you hope is

823
00:35:58,000 --> 00:36:01,040
Speaker 5: upgraded and better as well? Like, I'm very interested to

824
00:36:01,040 --> 00:36:03,320
Speaker 5: see that when camp battle we didn't talk about. I

825
00:36:03,360 --> 00:36:04,799
Speaker 5: don't know if this is a burning question or just

826
00:36:04,800 --> 00:36:09,520
Speaker 5: a camp battle, but Will Anderson versus larryby Tunsel and

827
00:36:09,680 --> 00:36:12,240
Speaker 5: or Titus Howard. Yeah, it's a question that I failed

828
00:36:12,239 --> 00:36:16,000
Speaker 5: to ask anybody in our media availabilities it always escapes me,

829
00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:17,880
Speaker 5: but it's something I always think about as well, Like,

830
00:36:18,280 --> 00:36:21,239
Speaker 5: can't wait until the game actually gets physical, and here

831
00:36:21,239 --> 00:36:24,200
Speaker 5: we have a Pro Bowl. I think all prop.

832
00:36:23,840 --> 00:36:25,480
Speaker 4: Should be all undred percent agree with you.

833
00:36:25,640 --> 00:36:28,279
Speaker 5: Yeah, at least caliber left and should be, and at

834
00:36:28,320 --> 00:36:31,680
Speaker 5: least caliber left tackle and Larrybie Tunsel established already. And

835
00:36:31,719 --> 00:36:34,600
Speaker 5: then Will Anderson on the other side, someone we project

836
00:36:34,600 --> 00:36:37,000
Speaker 5: to be along the same lines as a counterpart on

837
00:36:37,040 --> 00:36:39,359
Speaker 5: his side. So what does that look like. I'm really

838
00:36:39,400 --> 00:36:40,040
Speaker 5: interested in that.

839
00:36:40,040 --> 00:36:42,120
Speaker 3: That's a great training camp battle. I want to look

840
00:36:42,120 --> 00:36:44,480
Speaker 3: forward to once the pads come on. All right, Brandon Scott,

841
00:36:44,520 --> 00:36:46,960
Speaker 3: what else are you working on this offseason? Because I'm

842
00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:48,680
Speaker 3: sure I missed a lot of it earlier. I know

843
00:36:48,719 --> 00:36:49,560
Speaker 3: you're doing a ton of things.

844
00:36:49,640 --> 00:36:52,560
Speaker 5: Oh my god, So all the CJ. Stroud content that

845
00:36:52,640 --> 00:36:55,920
Speaker 5: you can handle, I'll be doing stuff on that. Damian

846
00:36:56,000 --> 00:36:59,160
Speaker 5: Pierce is somebody who I would like to just have

847
00:36:59,200 --> 00:37:03,200
Speaker 5: a conversation with. All you guys get to talk to him.

848
00:37:03,200 --> 00:37:04,759
Speaker 5: He does. He comes in this bed room that we're

849
00:37:04,760 --> 00:37:07,359
Speaker 5: sitting in and do and does postgame shows. My guy

850
00:37:07,440 --> 00:37:10,759
Speaker 5: Sean Pendergas, My guys Sean Pendergaz and Clint Stirner. But

851
00:37:10,840 --> 00:37:13,520
Speaker 5: I've actually only talked to Damian Pierce one on one

852
00:37:14,120 --> 00:37:16,280
Speaker 5: one time. I've had him in the press conference setting,

853
00:37:16,600 --> 00:37:18,880
Speaker 5: I've had him in the in the locker room. But

854
00:37:18,960 --> 00:37:21,080
Speaker 5: at some point I want to get him aside and

855
00:37:21,200 --> 00:37:23,759
Speaker 5: just have a good old country boarder country board conversation

856
00:37:24,080 --> 00:37:26,680
Speaker 5: with Damian Pierce. I would really really like that. He

857
00:37:26,680 --> 00:37:28,880
Speaker 5: seems like a good like a good time to talk to.

858
00:37:29,840 --> 00:37:30,839
Speaker 4: Go to the other DP.

859
00:37:31,360 --> 00:37:33,400
Speaker 5: The other the other DP absolutely got to spend a

860
00:37:33,440 --> 00:37:35,880
Speaker 5: little bit of time around him during the draft party,

861
00:37:36,080 --> 00:37:37,359
Speaker 5: but there was a lot going, a lot of moving

862
00:37:37,360 --> 00:37:39,839
Speaker 5: parts that night as well. So that's something that I'm

863
00:37:39,840 --> 00:37:41,719
Speaker 5: looking forward to and if I can, if I can

864
00:37:41,760 --> 00:37:45,719
Speaker 5: manifest that I will, they'll definitely be content produced from it.

865
00:37:45,760 --> 00:37:48,319
Speaker 5: So that's just among the things I want to take

866
00:37:48,360 --> 00:37:50,759
Speaker 5: a deeper look at this defense. But there's a lot

867
00:37:50,760 --> 00:37:52,399
Speaker 5: of the things that we've talked about will be things

868
00:37:52,440 --> 00:37:55,520
Speaker 5: that I write about over time. So yeah, just in.

869
00:37:55,480 --> 00:37:58,480
Speaker 3: Addition to all of your other duties with Astros Rockets,

870
00:37:58,920 --> 00:38:00,320
Speaker 3: you're back writing for the ass.

871
00:38:00,920 --> 00:38:03,040
Speaker 5: I covered the Astros on the daily basis. I do

872
00:38:03,080 --> 00:38:05,440
Speaker 5: a Rockets post see right now. Yeah, there are not

873
00:38:05,560 --> 00:38:06,400
Speaker 5: enough hours in the day.

874
00:38:08,840 --> 00:38:09,520
Speaker 4: No they're not, but.

876
00:38:11,000 --> 00:38:12,320

Speaker 3: I need to get you back on a camp and

879
00:38:15,200 --> 00:38:18,000
Speaker 3: then we can revisit the answers to our burning questions.

880
00:38:18,280 --> 00:38:20,880
Speaker 5: Yes you asked me to come and do this show,

881
00:38:21,040 --> 00:38:22,440

899
00:39:08,400 --> 00:39:10,840
Speaker 2: that quickly in our final segment of Texans All Access.

Speaker 1: We'll have our buddy Chester pits out with us.

915
00:39:46,680 --> 00:39:50,719
Speaker 2: Woodlands six to seven next Tuesday, July eleventh.

916
00:39:50,200 --> 00:39:53,040
Speaker 1: All right around the league, let's go.

917
00:39:53,080 --> 00:39:55,279
Speaker 2: I think one of the bigger stories, probably within the

918
00:39:55,320 --> 00:39:58,160
Speaker 2: last few weeks, has been this fun dig situation. Josh

919
00:39:58,160 --> 00:40:01,560
Speaker 2: Allen sat down with the in The Boys podcast with

920
00:40:01,680 --> 00:40:06,320
Speaker 2: Will Compton and Taylor Luwan and says the media completely

921
00:40:07,000 --> 00:40:11,160
Speaker 2: blew up the Stefan Diggs situation during Mini camp, as

922
00:40:11,600 --> 00:40:16,279
Speaker 2: Josh Allen said, there's no reason to continue talking about it.

923
00:40:16,800 --> 00:40:20,200
Speaker 1: So I hope, I hope Josh Allen's right. I don't

924
00:40:20,239 --> 00:40:21,120
Speaker 1: like seeing drama.

925
00:40:21,160 --> 00:40:24,399
Speaker 2: And I'll say this partly because I've become very close

926
00:40:24,480 --> 00:40:25,959
Speaker 2: with Salar reporter Salcapaccio.

927
00:40:26,360 --> 00:40:29,279
Speaker 1: I love Sally, He's fantastic. I want the Bills to

928
00:40:29,320 --> 00:40:31,080
Speaker 1: do well. I love that fan base.

929
00:40:31,600 --> 00:40:35,440
Speaker 2: It's crazy, it's wild, but they're fun, They're they're positive.

930
00:40:35,480 --> 00:40:36,440
Speaker 1: It's a positive group.

931
00:40:36,480 --> 00:40:39,680
Speaker 2: I just I really like that Bill's team, and I

932
00:40:39,760 --> 00:40:41,839
Speaker 2: like Josh Allen because I know Josh Allen's going through

933
00:40:41,840 --> 00:40:43,840
Speaker 2: it to get there. And when that stuff start popping

934
00:40:43,880 --> 00:40:45,600
Speaker 2: up with Stefan Diggs, he's at practice.

935
00:40:45,680 --> 00:40:48,359
Speaker 1: McDermott Sean McDermot, head coach said no, he's not. He's there.

936
00:40:48,440 --> 00:40:50,240
Speaker 1: He's but like, it was really.

937
00:40:50,000 --> 00:40:52,480
Speaker 2: Confusing, and I texted Sal because there's something else was

938
00:40:52,520 --> 00:40:55,279
Speaker 2: going on. I texted him and I think it was

939
00:40:55,280 --> 00:40:57,279
Speaker 2: his birthday or stuff. I texted him happy birthday and

940
00:40:57,280 --> 00:40:59,600
Speaker 2: then he's just like, yeah, it's great, except.

941
00:40:59,320 --> 00:41:00,279
Speaker 1: We got drama here.

942
00:41:00,280 --> 00:41:02,880
Speaker 2: I'm like, hey, you've got nothing in the way of

943
00:41:02,960 --> 00:41:07,920
Speaker 2: drama considering what it's been. But hopefully the media did

944
00:41:07,960 --> 00:41:10,000
Speaker 2: blow that out of proportion and the Bills can.

945
00:41:09,920 --> 00:41:12,399
Speaker 1: Get back to it. At that point.

946
00:41:12,440 --> 00:41:14,840
Speaker 2: Miami Dolphins is signed their second round pick, Camp Smith,

947
00:41:15,080 --> 00:41:19,040
Speaker 2: cornerback that I really liked from South Carolina. He signs

948
00:41:19,040 --> 00:41:21,320
Speaker 2: with the Dolphins, and I think the Dolphins might have

949
00:41:21,360 --> 00:41:23,880
Speaker 2: the best secondary in the league. You're throwing camp Smith

950
00:41:23,920 --> 00:41:28,200
Speaker 2: along with newly acquired Jalen Ramsey, Xavi, and Howard's already there.

951
00:41:28,960 --> 00:41:34,680
Speaker 2: Kadar Kohu was a rookie who played a lot last

952
00:41:34,760 --> 00:41:36,400
Speaker 2: year for that group. Javon Holland I think is one

953
00:41:36,400 --> 00:41:37,759
Speaker 2: of the better safeties in the league. He was one

954
00:41:37,800 --> 00:41:42,359
Speaker 2: of my big big draft supports. I really liked him

955
00:41:42,360 --> 00:41:45,320
Speaker 2: come out of Oregon. So Dolphins ad camp Smith to

956
00:41:45,360 --> 00:41:47,120
Speaker 2: the crew. That's gonna be a tough secondary to throw

957
00:41:47,160 --> 00:41:49,680
Speaker 2: on there in the AFC. Josh Allen, who he just mentioned,

958
00:41:49,680 --> 00:41:52,080
Speaker 2: we'll have a hard time throwing against them. Commander center

959
00:41:52,160 --> 00:41:55,680
Speaker 2: Chase Roue announced his retirement after six seasons. That Washington

960
00:41:55,680 --> 00:41:58,319
Speaker 2: offensive line was not very good to begin with, and

961
00:41:58,400 --> 00:42:01,080
Speaker 2: now they lose their man in the middle, Chase Roe

962
00:42:01,480 --> 00:42:06,360
Speaker 2: announces his retirement after six years, six seasons with the

963
00:42:06,360 --> 00:42:09,839
Speaker 2: Commanders and he is done.

964
00:42:09,880 --> 00:42:12,520
Speaker 1: As this show is done as well.

965
00:42:12,600 --> 00:42:15,719
Speaker 2: Appreciate you guys listen to big thanks, huge thanks to

966
00:42:15,760 --> 00:42:18,200
Speaker 2: Brandon Scott and of course DP Situ.

967
00:42:18,560 --> 00:42:20,200
Speaker 1: It'll be good to see them back in the building

968
00:42:20,239 --> 00:42:20,680
Speaker 1: next week.

969
00:42:21,239 --> 00:42:25,120
Speaker 2: Brandon's just a great dude and he's great on the mic, fantastic,

970
00:42:25,480 --> 00:42:27,400
Speaker 2: knows his stuff in every sport.

971
00:42:28,000 --> 00:42:29,560
Speaker 1: He is one, and he should.

972
00:42:29,280 --> 00:42:33,200
Speaker 2: Be a Houston, a cherished Houston contributor for many, many

973
00:42:33,239 --> 00:42:36,040
Speaker 2: years in the media, for sure, he is. He's awesome.

974
00:42:36,320 --> 00:42:38,440
Speaker 2: I'm glad that he spends some time talking with DP

975
00:42:38,520 --> 00:42:41,719
Speaker 2: about his story Texans, etcetera, etcetera.

976
00:42:41,760 --> 00:42:43,719
Speaker 1: And thanks to you guys for listening. We will see

977
00:42:43,760 --> 00:42:46,680
Speaker 1: you tomorrow and as always, go Texans.
