We got 6 00:00:16,079 --> 00:00:18,360 Speaker 1: plenty for you joining me to kick off the show. 7 00:00:18,880 --> 00:00:21,959 Speaker 1: It's my man, Andrew Doherty Drew Tough Guy Tuesdays. It 8 00:00:22,040 --> 00:00:24,919 Speaker 1: is Tough Guy Tuesdays. That's right back to back a 9 00:00:25,079 --> 00:00:27,520 Speaker 1: radio days. I like that Tough Guy Tuesdays. Well we 10 00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:29,960 Speaker 1: got here. Why is Mark? I'm okay, I can't say that. 11 00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:32,839 Speaker 1: I can't say that I will I will not say that. 12 00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:36,199 Speaker 1: I don't know if you saw this earlier today, but 13 00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:41,199 Speaker 1: Josh Rosen, of all, you know, I've I don't want 14 00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:43,120 Speaker 1: to say I've been critical, Josh, try to look at 15 00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:44,520 Speaker 1: it through different eyes. But one thing I've said about 16 00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:48,640 Speaker 1: Josh Rosen is that he is you sort of have 17 00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:50,159 Speaker 1: to look at him through a different lens. He's just 18 00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:54,920 Speaker 1: an interesting guy. Yeah that I could see people having 19 00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:59,360 Speaker 1: having some I guess I issue with you know, Jim 20 00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:02,600 Speaker 1: Morris said he was saying something about it, and yeah, 21 00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:05,320 Speaker 1: he would take Darnold for yeah, yeah, I mean it was, Um, 22 00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:08,600 Speaker 1: he's a millennial. He has to be challenging. Yes, yes, 23 00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:10,920 Speaker 1: uh will put I think he's I think he's gonna 24 00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:12,959 Speaker 1: be good. He's gonna be a good quarterback. Either two. 25 00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:14,240 Speaker 1: I mean, I've got it. I think in my top 26 00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:17,280 Speaker 1: twelve I said a few years ago that I thought 27 00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:19,160 Speaker 1: he was gonna be number one picking a draft coming 28 00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:21,200 Speaker 1: out of high school of Sat John Bosco. I had 29 00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:24,040 Speaker 1: seen his junior year highlights. I thought, wow, I was 30 00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:26,400 Speaker 1: like this kid, I was like, what college do you 31 00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:28,080 Speaker 1: going to? No, he's got one more year at Botsco? 32 00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:31,080 Speaker 1: What what changed that? Because you don't see it happened 33 00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:33,760 Speaker 1: in this year. Now here's what changed it. Sean Watson. 34 00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:36,360 Speaker 1: Shan Watson changed it because of the way that I 35 00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:41,160 Speaker 1: just I look a little differently at the quarterback position. Now, well, 36 00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:42,920 Speaker 1: I'll put it this way. I've always looked at it 37 00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:45,800 Speaker 1: a little differently, but I think the NFL is looking 38 00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:48,120 Speaker 1: at it differently, right, And I think guys like the 39 00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:54,520 Speaker 1: Sean Carson Wentz, Dak Prescott, h Russell, Wilson, Aaron Rodgers, 40 00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:57,920 Speaker 1: guys that can make plays off schedule, can do things 41 00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:01,920 Speaker 1: extend the extent plays can make things happen. I think 42 00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:04,280 Speaker 1: I don't want to say that Josh can't do that. 43 00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:07,000 Speaker 1: It's just not his cup of tea. However, I will 44 00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:10,040 Speaker 1: say when things new breakdown, he does he does handle 45 00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:13,959 Speaker 1: it pretty well. Yeah. That said, I think with Josh, 46 00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:17,440 Speaker 1: where he goes and who he's with that fit is 47 00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:20,520 Speaker 1: gonna be is ultimately going to determine what he is 48 00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:22,840 Speaker 1: going to be able to do once he gets And 49 00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:25,840 Speaker 1: that's why I didn't really have a big problem with 50 00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:29,440 Speaker 1: what Moral was saying, because I think Moral was being truthful, 51 00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:32,359 Speaker 1: Like he wasn't just saying my guy's the best. You know. 52 00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:35,520 Speaker 1: I think he does believe his guy is the best, 53 00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:39,000 Speaker 1: but only if he's in the right situation. Because what 54 00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:44,040 Speaker 1: would have happened had the two thousand Cowboys drafted Tom 55 00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:47,919 Speaker 1: Brady in the Sameth round? Would Brady have been what 56 00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:51,320 Speaker 1: he became on those teams that went five and eleven, 57 00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:55,639 Speaker 1: five and eleven, Yeah, and then finally in oh three 58 00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:57,960 Speaker 1: when when Parcels came up. I mean, he'd have been 59 00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:00,480 Speaker 1: four years into his career at that point, So would 60 00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:02,280 Speaker 1: that would have been the same guy? I don't know, 61 00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:04,960 Speaker 1: I don't I don't think so yeah, so I think 62 00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:07,000 Speaker 1: it is. It is true about fit I think he's 63 00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:09,079 Speaker 1: gonna be a good quarterback if he gets in the 64 00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:12,200 Speaker 1: right situation. I just, you know, wonder what that situation is. 65 00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:14,400 Speaker 1: I can absolutely see where a team looks at him 66 00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:15,840 Speaker 1: and says this isn't gonna fit for us. I can 67 00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:17,440 Speaker 1: look at other teams saying this is gonna be a 68 00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:20,520 Speaker 1: perfect good for us. Yeah, but he said something he did. 69 00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:24,240 Speaker 1: He did an interview with ESPN magazine. This is why 70 00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:26,400 Speaker 1: I bring all this up about Josh Rosen, the former 71 00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:31,640 Speaker 1: star quarterback UCLA. He did an interview with ESPN, a 72 00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:35,360 Speaker 1: magazine and he was asked as a pro will you 73 00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:38,640 Speaker 1: continue to speak up or will you shut up and throw? 74 00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:43,400 Speaker 1: And his answer was very interesting. He said both. I 75 00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:45,080 Speaker 1: think I need to shut up and throw when I 76 00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:47,760 Speaker 1: get there. I do want to get involved in my 77 00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:50,800 Speaker 1: community immediately. But the main thing is the main thing. 78 00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:54,440 Speaker 1: And this is what caught my eye. Jj Watt is 79 00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:57,360 Speaker 1: a guy I admire the way he balances the two 80 00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:00,600 Speaker 1: athletes have a platform and be sell fish to shut 81 00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:03,240 Speaker 1: up and throw, get paid, go to the Bahamas. It's 82 00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:07,880 Speaker 1: selfless to be jj Watt. I saw it this morning 83 00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:12,680 Speaker 1: when on Sports Center, and I thought that's I thought 84 00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:15,920 Speaker 1: it was pretty interesting from the standpoint of who he admires, 85 00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:18,400 Speaker 1: because a lot of times guys you end up admiring 86 00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:20,400 Speaker 1: are going to be guys that maybe play your position 87 00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:25,240 Speaker 1: from the same area of the country perhaps, and yet 88 00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:27,680 Speaker 1: he JJ Watt is a guy he admires. I thought 89 00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:30,880 Speaker 1: that was pretty interesting that he referenced JJ in that interview. 90 00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:32,280 Speaker 1: It's a good point, you know, because in you and 91 00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:34,200 Speaker 1: I have talked about this a few different times. I mean, 92 00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:37,599 Speaker 1: pre Hurricane Harvey, JJ Watt took a lot of heat 93 00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:40,200 Speaker 1: because there there was a section of people out there 94 00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:42,960 Speaker 1: that thought, now he's just doing this this, these good acts, 95 00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:46,480 Speaker 1: these good deeds for his image's it's all self serving. 96 00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:50,440 Speaker 1: And while JJ was public about a lot of things, 97 00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:55,200 Speaker 1: what a good doing good, I mean, there are so 98 00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:58,760 Speaker 1: many other instances that that outnumber the times that you 99 00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:00,840 Speaker 1: hear about it. Were you don't hear about it. I mean, 100 00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:03,760 Speaker 1: it seems like in the off season, about once a 101 00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:07,279 Speaker 1: week you'll see and that's the only ones I notice. 102 00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:10,279 Speaker 1: There's probably more. I'm certain there's more, but you'll see 103 00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:14,280 Speaker 1: a family coming in and you know, there's a kid 104 00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:17,039 Speaker 1: with a disability, or there's a you know, a child, 105 00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:19,840 Speaker 1: a child of something else is going on and they 106 00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:22,359 Speaker 1: wind up, you know a few hours later there with 107 00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:24,039 Speaker 1: JJ and he just taking him on a tour of 108 00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:27,440 Speaker 1: things and he's helping out people. It's very's he's always 109 00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:29,599 Speaker 1: been that way from when the from like when he 110 00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:33,440 Speaker 1: got here in twenty eleven. Remember he showed up at 111 00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:37,520 Speaker 1: at the Kid's Triathlon the first year they did it. 112 00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:39,760 Speaker 1: It was in early twenty and twelve, maybe April of 113 00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:42,480 Speaker 1: two thy twelve. So he'd had his solid rookie season 114 00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:45,200 Speaker 1: and he had the big play, but he hadn't become 115 00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:47,880 Speaker 1: the superstar yet. He was just there. He was helping out. 116 00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:49,840 Speaker 1: You know, he just kind of showed up to help 117 00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:52,120 Speaker 1: out that morning and he was a you know, he 118 00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:54,680 Speaker 1: got he signed some autographs, but he wasn't the mega 119 00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:57,159 Speaker 1: stary is now. But that's just kind of who he is. 120 00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:01,039 Speaker 1: He's always been about giving back. Now, take out the 121 00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:05,440 Speaker 1: thirty seven million. Independent of that, his his foundations raised 122 00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:08,080 Speaker 1: four million already, or maybe it's five million. Either way, 123 00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:12,039 Speaker 1: He's raised million, millions and millions of dollars for after 124 00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:15,720 Speaker 1: school programs, and that's that's been an ongoing thing. Since 125 00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:18,640 Speaker 1: his time in college. So yeah, it's cool that Rosen 126 00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:24,000 Speaker 1: recognizes that and sees what he's done and JJ's funneled 127 00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:27,560 Speaker 1: and channeled the goods the good deeds he's done and 128 00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:31,320 Speaker 1: combine it with social media, and it really was amazing 129 00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:33,200 Speaker 1: what he was able to accomplish this year. There's no 130 00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:34,920 Speaker 1: doubt you get a chance to check out that article. 131 00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:37,200 Speaker 1: There's a little bit more too it about Josh Rosen 132 00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:41,880 Speaker 1: and his outspoken nature, I guess is the right way 133 00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:45,240 Speaker 1: of saying this. He's a really intelligent guy, having got 134 00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:48,279 Speaker 1: to a really tough prep school, say John broscou in California, 135 00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:50,800 Speaker 1: and with UCLA. Uh give it, give it a listen 136 00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:52,839 Speaker 1: it's or give it a read. It's pretty good on 137 00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:55,320 Speaker 1: ESPN magazine if you google it, as I did. But 138 00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:57,279 Speaker 1: I just happened to see that part about JJ Watton 139 00:06:57,320 --> 00:07:00,839 Speaker 1: and kind of wow, I was say taken aback, I 140 00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:02,440 Speaker 1: was a little I just was a little bit surprised. 141 00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:04,680 Speaker 1: Not a comparison you would think, yeah, would come from 142 00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:08,120 Speaker 1: a guy like that whatsoever. But uh, props Josh Rosen. 143 00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:14,360 Speaker 1: Rosen's probably got a rep it's but he's probably not 144 00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:17,760 Speaker 1: the perception of him probably doesn't match who match who 145 00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:19,960 Speaker 1: he Actually, you're probably right, and you know what, that's 146 00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:22,720 Speaker 1: probably that's probably the way you mentioned it about j 147 00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:25,200 Speaker 1: J a while ago. That reputation that was out there 148 00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:28,240 Speaker 1: was certainly not the way that he was, right. I mean, 149 00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:31,000 Speaker 1: Harris family could speak to at Uh, there's no question. 150 00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:33,480 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, he's done things for people in 151 00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:35,960 Speaker 1: this building, for people outside of the building, nobody'll ever know, 152 00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:39,200 Speaker 1: ever know, um, which to me speaks to a guy's 153 00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:42,040 Speaker 1: reputation more than anything that he does publicly. Alright, Drew, 154 00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:45,400 Speaker 1: since you're in here, I want to do a little 155 00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:47,960 Speaker 1: either or. It's one of my favorite games to do, 156 00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:49,640 Speaker 1: so I figured we could kick it off with you. 157 00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:51,520 Speaker 1: All right, This is a pretty easy time. This is 158 00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:57,400 Speaker 1: a pretty easy concept. I give you a statement and 159 00:07:57,480 --> 00:08:02,200 Speaker 1: in either or proposition your way through which one? All right? Okay? 160 00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:05,040 Speaker 1: Uh give me a number one through seven and that's 161 00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:08,640 Speaker 1: where we'll start. Six, six, Okay, all right, here we go. 162 00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:16,320 Speaker 1: Better the Shawn Watson highlight against New England. It just 163 00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:18,200 Speaker 1: so happened that who plays that picked her against New England. 164 00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:21,440 Speaker 1: So it's against New England. Fair enough, Either the plane 165 00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:24,000 Speaker 1: which he avoided the sack about four or five times 166 00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:26,400 Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter, that one and then hit the 167 00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:29,640 Speaker 1: ante foreman for the catch. That one or everything else 168 00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:31,920 Speaker 1: is second compared to that one. The throwback to Ryan 169 00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:34,560 Speaker 1: Griffin for thirty seven yards in the first down. Oh, 170 00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:36,920 Speaker 1: I made you think it's still the It's still the 171 00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:40,640 Speaker 1: four sacks because of avoiding the sacks. Avoiding the sacks 172 00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:44,160 Speaker 1: that should have been the nail in the coffin. I 173 00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:46,640 Speaker 1: know it should have been. But yeah, I'm gonna go with 174 00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:49,560 Speaker 1: with that. I love everybody miss up front. Although the 175 00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:52,120 Speaker 1: throw across his body to Griffin, I know that's why 176 00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:53,760 Speaker 1: I made you that was that was that just the 177 00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:55,960 Speaker 1: full crumb for me as far as I'm never gonna 178 00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:58,440 Speaker 1: doubt this guy again. But yeah, I'm still gonna go 179 00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:00,839 Speaker 1: with the four four sack evasion. It's pretty good. Yeah, 180 00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:08,840 Speaker 1: all right. Better DeAndre Hopkins catch the helmet catch against 181 00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:15,400 Speaker 1: Jacksonville at Jacksonville twenty fifteen or Octo hop against Pittsburgh 182 00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:18,440 Speaker 1: the only touchdown on Christmas Day. I guess I'll go 183 00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:21,360 Speaker 1: with that one and either the helmet catch or Octo 184 00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:24,920 Speaker 1: hop the Steelers touchdown catch. But you know what, the 185 00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:28,800 Speaker 1: one that's still better than both of those at New 186 00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:32,080 Speaker 1: York job. I couldn't put it in there because he did. 187 00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:35,360 Speaker 1: He was his fault. He was on the line. He 188 00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:38,679 Speaker 1: pinched it out of mine. It was incredible forty. I 189 00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:44,960 Speaker 1: mean it's like, whoa, all right, you are GM, Brian 190 00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:48,000 Speaker 1: Gaine and you can make one trade. I think I 191 00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:50,320 Speaker 1: know what you're gonna answer, but I but I challenge 192 00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:53,200 Speaker 1: you on this one. You can make one trade before 193 00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:58,839 Speaker 1: the draft. Are you trading for either Rob Gronkowski or 194 00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:04,840 Speaker 1: Washington Redskins left tackle Trent Williams. You're giving up similar 195 00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:07,560 Speaker 1: assets in the deal, so that's not it. It's what 196 00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:12,280 Speaker 1: you have coming back. Rob Gronkowski's similar Tackleskowski. If it's 197 00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:15,120 Speaker 1: similar assets in Gronkowski, but if you're if you only 198 00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:18,600 Speaker 1: having to give up like a third for Trent Williams, 199 00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:23,839 Speaker 1: you wouldn't want that Pro Bowl left tackle coming back. No, 200 00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:25,199 Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying. If it was, if it was 201 00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:28,120 Speaker 1: a lot less that was similar, Yeah, yeah, I'd still 202 00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:35,199 Speaker 1: go Gronkowski better. Game one at home because Mark and 203 00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:37,760 Speaker 1: I talked about this game. We are going to open 204 00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:41,040 Speaker 1: the season at home. Regular season. We're growing too, because 205 00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:43,520 Speaker 1: Beyonce and Jay Z are doing a concert Week two 206 00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:45,920 Speaker 1: and I don't think you ever start the first two 207 00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:48,240 Speaker 1: weeks on the road in the NFL. Then I'm aware of. 208 00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:52,439 Speaker 1: Then I'm aware of. So Game one's gonna be at home. Okay, 209 00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:57,160 Speaker 1: which AFC South team would you rather? Would you rather 210 00:10:57,240 --> 00:11:01,720 Speaker 1: see at home? Either the jackson All Jaguars or the 211 00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:07,000 Speaker 1: Indianapolis Colts. Colts, even with Andrew Luck, even with Andrew Luck, absolutely, 212 00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:12,520 Speaker 1: because you're not throwing around the duke. And for those 213 00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:14,640 Speaker 1: of you who don't know, it's many of you, because 214 00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:16,560 Speaker 1: you know, I had to kind of be reminded. I remember, 215 00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:17,760 Speaker 1: I knew it was the duke, but I had to 216 00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:21,720 Speaker 1: be reminded. That's the official NFL football and they call 217 00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:24,560 Speaker 1: it the duke. You'll see it in cursive there. But 218 00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:28,320 Speaker 1: he's not even throwing that thing yet. So yeah, give 219 00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:31,160 Speaker 1: the Colts, okay, because their defense is even with or 220 00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:36,680 Speaker 1: without Luck, their defense is nothing like Jacksonville's nothing. Okay. 221 00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:42,640 Speaker 1: Preference for a primetime game either Thursday night on the 222 00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:47,120 Speaker 1: road or Monday night on the road, both week nights. 223 00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:50,120 Speaker 1: Which one do you prefer? Either Thursday nights on the 224 00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:54,760 Speaker 1: road or Monday nights on the road. I prefer Thursday 225 00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:58,720 Speaker 1: Nights on the road. Because it gives you the weekend off, 226 00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:02,199 Speaker 1: get the weekend, do whatever you want with your family. 227 00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:07,720 Speaker 1: It's the start of the football weekend, so many people 228 00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:10,360 Speaker 1: are watching. I like it better than Monday night football. 229 00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:15,360 Speaker 1: I do too, Interestingly, Sunday you gotta get back in 230 00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:18,840 Speaker 1: the middle of Tuesday morning, flying Wednesday, coming back Thursday 231 00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:22,080 Speaker 1: night and having Friday. And I'm with you because it 232 00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:24,319 Speaker 1: also gives you a two basically like a two and 233 00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:25,960 Speaker 1: a half day work week through. You know, you go 234 00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:29,440 Speaker 1: into Monday and Tuesday and then you're traveling Wednesday. Thanks 235 00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:32,000 Speaker 1: for the players, like yeah, yeah, yeah, but you're you're 236 00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:36,400 Speaker 1: saying us yeah, just yeah, yeah, Okay, jokers in the 237 00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:42,960 Speaker 1: media department. In your opinion, which last place team that 238 00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:48,360 Speaker 1: is on the Texans schedule will be better in twenty eighteen, 239 00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:57,520 Speaker 1: either the Denver Broncos or the Cleveland Browns. Browns because 240 00:12:57,520 --> 00:13:02,000 Speaker 1: they got I mean, they have so far to go. Yeah, 241 00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:05,680 Speaker 1: relatively speaking, I think the Browns can make more more 242 00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:10,800 Speaker 1: strides none So, yeah, they're gonna they'll be better. You 243 00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:12,920 Speaker 1: think it, Browns will be better? Yeah, yeah, I agree. 244 00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:15,520 Speaker 1: I think the Broncos are still stuff behind. Yeah. It 245 00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:19,280 Speaker 1: is National Sibling Day. Last one Drew, and you can 246 00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:27,000 Speaker 1: add one Texans sibling to the roster, either Scott Quisenberry 247 00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:32,040 Speaker 1: or Derek Watt. Scott Quisenberry U c l A gonna 248 00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:34,840 Speaker 1: be a Rookie're gonna get drafted. Derek Watt fullback with 249 00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:38,719 Speaker 1: the LA Chargers, you can add one sibling. She didn't say, 250 00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:40,880 Speaker 1: t J. Watt. I didn't. I wanted to make it 251 00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:44,559 Speaker 1: a little more difficult for you, Scott Quisenberry, U c 252 00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:47,880 Speaker 1: l A interior offensive alignement or Derek Watt fullback because 253 00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:50,240 Speaker 1: if I give you pass Rusher, you're gonna take pass Russia, 254 00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:52,640 Speaker 1: you know. But I give you interior alignment or fullback? 255 00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:55,640 Speaker 1: Which one are you taking? Which one? No knock on Derek, 256 00:13:56,080 --> 00:13:58,240 Speaker 1: but I like I like prosh at fullback. I like 257 00:13:58,280 --> 00:14:00,559 Speaker 1: what he can do, and I think, uh, I think 258 00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:03,000 Speaker 1: another queue in the building would be nice, and you 259 00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:04,959 Speaker 1: do need some offensive line helps. I'm gonna go with 260 00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:07,280 Speaker 1: question barrier. You're going with Scottie Q. I like it. Yeah, 261 00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:09,920 Speaker 1: you go very nice, Drew, appreciate you stopped by brother. Yeah. 262 00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:13,520 Speaker 1: I thought we were gonna do like brownies or water slides, 263 00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:18,160 Speaker 1: water slides or fireworks. I thought it's gonna be one 264 00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:26,560 Speaker 1: of the water slides, water slides or roller coasters. Water slides, Okay, 265 00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:33,040 Speaker 1: water slides win? Huh? Water slides or water Burger, water slides, 266 00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:37,360 Speaker 1: water Burger. I go with water Burger. Now one gonna 267 00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:39,280 Speaker 1: like you water Burger. And that's why it goes false. 268 00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:41,120 Speaker 1: It's not true. I went on Saturday through You the 269 00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:43,800 Speaker 1: Best Man, Same to you coming up next, Deep City, 270 00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:45,800 Speaker 1: who stops by? I've got a couple of thoughts. I 271 00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:48,960 Speaker 1: wanted her to up one on, including Andrew Luck and 272 00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:51,800 Speaker 1: that duke. What's her confidence level of the cults will 273 00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:54,640 Speaker 1: get back to where they are with Andrew Luck? Next 274 00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:58,280 Speaker 1: on Texans Access, Tough Guy Tuesdays one, back to Tuesday 275 00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:01,200 Speaker 1: Nish and Texans All Access. I know everyone is used 276 00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:04,360 Speaker 1: to hearing Mark van Amer's name leading off the segment, 277 00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:08,120 Speaker 1: but it's me. Mark is out today and he will 278 00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:10,520 Speaker 1: be back on. We'll be a back on with me tomorrow, 279 00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:14,160 Speaker 1: but he'll be leading to show with John McClain on Thursdays. 280 00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:15,360 Speaker 1: You definitely want to tune in for that. As we 281 00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:18,560 Speaker 1: get near the draft and John's fifty thousand mock drafts, 282 00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:22,080 Speaker 1: I think he's on mock draft number nine. I think 283 00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:25,440 Speaker 1: John Harris alongside DP City. I you know, DP the 284 00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:27,800 Speaker 1: one thing and I do draft. So we talked about 285 00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:31,680 Speaker 1: that on the Deep Slant podcasts either day. The one 286 00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:33,960 Speaker 1: thing I hate doing is mock drafts. I do not 287 00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:39,480 Speaker 1: I love reading. I hate mock drafts. I hate him. 288 00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:42,840 Speaker 1: Is it because you're too entrenched with all the players? Well, 289 00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:44,920 Speaker 1: I will never do one for the for here, I 290 00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:47,800 Speaker 1: will never do one. Submit you used to submit one. 291 00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:50,560 Speaker 1: I would submit it to the Washington Post. Washington my 292 00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:53,080 Speaker 1: draft stuff for the Washington Post. But what I do 293 00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:56,320 Speaker 1: is I let the Post pick for the Texans, like 294 00:15:56,400 --> 00:15:59,800 Speaker 1: I leave it open, let them pick, I talk about it, 295 00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:02,280 Speaker 1: and then I move on. Luckily, this year I don't 296 00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:05,160 Speaker 1: have to do that because there's no Texans pick. I hate. 297 00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:08,480 Speaker 1: I hate mock drafts. I hate putting him together. That's 298 00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:10,560 Speaker 1: why I like. I like doing my board and putting 299 00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:13,960 Speaker 1: my Harris one hundred together because that, to me, is 300 00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:19,080 Speaker 1: just your slotting players. When it comes to mock drafts, Oh, 301 00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:21,480 Speaker 1: it's crazy. There's too many variables. You gotta know what 302 00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:23,760 Speaker 1: every team's looking for, what every team strategy might be 303 00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:26,440 Speaker 1: heading into the draft. It's like you can't I think 304 00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:28,960 Speaker 1: what you love to focus on is just the players themselves, 305 00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:31,200 Speaker 1: and I think that sort of takes the focus off it. 306 00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:34,640 Speaker 1: The player, I think, is on his eighth or ninth version, 307 00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:38,240 Speaker 1: like are you serious? And that's the thing people love 308 00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:41,920 Speaker 1: reading them. My first one this year, I put Quentin 309 00:16:41,960 --> 00:16:45,480 Speaker 1: Nelson number two to the Giants. Okay, he's my number 310 00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:47,120 Speaker 1: one on the Harris one hundred. That won't change. He 311 00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:49,200 Speaker 1: will be that guy. He's just incredible, and I know 312 00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:52,240 Speaker 1: he's interior off its linement that doesn't happen, but he's phenomenal. 313 00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:54,520 Speaker 1: I put him number two the Giants, and my editor 314 00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:57,480 Speaker 1: emailed me the next day and was like, holy cow, 315 00:16:57,600 --> 00:17:00,160 Speaker 1: the Giants fans are just on fire with this. We're 316 00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:02,480 Speaker 1: excited about it. Huh No, they weren't. Oh no, they 317 00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:06,400 Speaker 1: were not bad thing. He said, you did some good, 318 00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:09,280 Speaker 1: he said, but people people are questioning, And I said, 319 00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:12,080 Speaker 1: all right. Then he goes you know, combine. People start 320 00:17:12,080 --> 00:17:13,680 Speaker 1: seeing the highlights of him and all that kind of stuff, 321 00:17:13,680 --> 00:17:16,159 Speaker 1: and they're like, well, okay, maybe we're still gonna get 322 00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:18,360 Speaker 1: a quarterback like ye have Eli And I know he's 323 00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:20,879 Speaker 1: not perfect and all that, but either way, it's just 324 00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:23,680 Speaker 1: it was interesting with these mock drafts and last year. 325 00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:27,200 Speaker 1: It's funny because I put in my first or second one. 326 00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:29,479 Speaker 1: I put Patrick Mahomes. The Bear said the number three pick. 327 00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:31,960 Speaker 1: Last year, they eventually traded up the number two took 328 00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:35,919 Speaker 1: Mitchell Trubisky, but I had them taken Patrick Mahomes at 329 00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:41,120 Speaker 1: number three, okay, and that caught fire. In fact, I'm driving, 330 00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:44,159 Speaker 1: uh during lunch, batted meeting at lunch, I'm driving in 331 00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:47,560 Speaker 1: my lunch meeting. This is last year, and Lopez and 332 00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:50,720 Speaker 1: Cody Stuts have pulled down this mock draft from the 333 00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:54,080 Speaker 1: Washington Post and they're about to talk about it. During 334 00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:57,680 Speaker 1: a break. I'm like, look at the author, and Lopez goes, 335 00:17:57,680 --> 00:18:00,719 Speaker 1: oh my god, it's you. Of course, I think they 336 00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:03,320 Speaker 1: went from this is crazy. And of course Cody Stuts 337 00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:05,160 Speaker 1: went to Texas Tech. I was gonna say he loves 338 00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:08,879 Speaker 1: Texas Tech because he was kind of excited about it. 339 00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:10,520 Speaker 1: But Lopez was like, well, then he saw it was me, 340 00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:11,960 Speaker 1: and then he was like, okay, well I'm not going 341 00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:13,919 Speaker 1: to rip you too bad. I was like, yeah, okay. 342 00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:15,679 Speaker 1: And then Mahomes end up going to top ten, so 343 00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:18,680 Speaker 1: on something that's not a stretch. I mean, he's done 344 00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:20,400 Speaker 1: well for himself. If the Bears even if they trade 345 00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:22,639 Speaker 1: up to number two to get Mahomes have been a 346 00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:24,840 Speaker 1: bad pick, no, but they end up going Trubisky. I 347 00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:27,560 Speaker 1: think of three. Yeah, whatever, they wanted Tribisky, but that's 348 00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:30,720 Speaker 1: that's the way it goes, all right, TP this. I 349 00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:32,199 Speaker 1: came out of this game. I was thinking about this 350 00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:34,119 Speaker 1: not really a game, but it's it's more discussion. I 351 00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:37,320 Speaker 1: like like games that lead the discussion. And so I 352 00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:40,320 Speaker 1: thought about playing the confidence game. And so I'm gonna 353 00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:43,720 Speaker 1: read you a statement, and from that statement, you're gonna 354 00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:46,160 Speaker 1: give me on a level of one to ten, ten 355 00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:50,840 Speaker 1: being you have the absolute utmost confidence that this is true. Okay, 356 00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:56,280 Speaker 1: one being you are an absolute liar liar. Okay, got it? Okay, 357 00:18:56,320 --> 00:18:58,399 Speaker 1: one to ten, one to ten or one confidence game? 358 00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:01,600 Speaker 1: All right, So let's start with number one. We talked 359 00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:05,400 Speaker 1: about this yesterday a little bit. Andrew Luck. He's throwing footballs, 360 00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:08,960 Speaker 1: but he's not throwing the duke, the actual football. So 361 00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:12,879 Speaker 1: he must be throwing like smaller footballs, big football I 362 00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:16,200 Speaker 1: don't know, but he's not throwing a real football. And 363 00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:20,880 Speaker 1: after watching him yesterday, I was like, this gets very interesting. 364 00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:27,119 Speaker 1: So I ask you the Colts Andrew Luck returns and 365 00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:30,640 Speaker 1: it is better than ever. One to ten. What's your 366 00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:34,960 Speaker 1: confidence level? And that being absolutely ten, being that is 367 00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:37,680 Speaker 1: so true, that's going to happen. You're super confident in it. 368 00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:40,920 Speaker 1: One being no, no, no no, no, you're lying. There's no 369 00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:43,119 Speaker 1: truth to that whatsoever. I think if you'd left it 370 00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:45,919 Speaker 1: just the first part Andrew Luck returns this year, I 371 00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:47,760 Speaker 1: would have been very confident. I would have put like 372 00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:52,080 Speaker 1: a nine, okay, but better than ever makes me hesitated, 373 00:19:52,119 --> 00:19:54,320 Speaker 1: I'd put it. I'd put it at like a two 374 00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:56,960 Speaker 1: or three, okay, can I do? I'll say three. I'll 375 00:19:57,000 --> 00:20:01,120 Speaker 1: say three. Three. Everything I've read from there's a there's 376 00:20:01,119 --> 00:20:02,760 Speaker 1: a beat writer or Stephen Holder. I read some of 377 00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:05,760 Speaker 1: his stuff. He's good. He's been talking about OTAs. Obviously, 378 00:20:06,359 --> 00:20:09,840 Speaker 1: you know offseason workouts underway. Andrew Lux is probably not 379 00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:12,320 Speaker 1: gonna do much. But they say that the reason why 380 00:20:12,320 --> 00:20:13,800 Speaker 1: they're keeping him out of it is so that he 381 00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:17,320 Speaker 1: doesn't injure himself too early, but that he's on a 382 00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:19,639 Speaker 1: good track that he'll be throwing. But I don't know. 383 00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:22,080 Speaker 1: I think two years removed, if he's that hesitant to 384 00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:25,560 Speaker 1: even participate, now, there's gonna something between the ears is 385 00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:27,320 Speaker 1: gonna change and I think it's gonna take them while 386 00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:30,040 Speaker 1: to get that confidence. So three, I gotta three, And 387 00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:31,880 Speaker 1: I think that's being generous because I could have gone 388 00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:38,080 Speaker 1: two number two. The Texans trade up on Night two 389 00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:41,240 Speaker 1: of the draft into the second round. Keep in mind, 390 00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:45,280 Speaker 1: as you know, but for those listening, three third round picks, 391 00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:47,760 Speaker 1: they've got a two next year that they're getting from 392 00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:51,920 Speaker 1: Seattle on the Dwayne Brown deal. The Texans trade up 393 00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:56,240 Speaker 1: on Night two of the draft into the second round. 394 00:20:56,240 --> 00:20:58,480 Speaker 1: What's your confidence that that is true? One to ten? 395 00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:01,360 Speaker 1: I don't know if it's I just want I want 396 00:21:01,359 --> 00:21:04,400 Speaker 1: to say eight. Okay, I'm pretty confident that they'll do 397 00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:06,600 Speaker 1: something like that, just because I think the last few 398 00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:09,639 Speaker 1: years we've seen them trade up quite a bit. Obviously, 399 00:21:09,760 --> 00:21:11,720 Speaker 1: now with Brian Gaine, it might be different. He might 400 00:21:11,800 --> 00:21:13,800 Speaker 1: run drafts completely differently. I don't know. But we've got 401 00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:17,399 Speaker 1: three third round picks and three six round picks, correct, 402 00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:19,240 Speaker 1: I believe. So I feel like that's a lot of 403 00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:21,720 Speaker 1: wheeling and dealing they could do. And there are still 404 00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:23,439 Speaker 1: some holes on this team, and if they see a 405 00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:26,720 Speaker 1: tackle or an offensive lineman they like that's sitting round 406 00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:28,719 Speaker 1: in the second round. I mean, I bump it up 407 00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:31,800 Speaker 1: to like a nine then, But yeah, I'm pretty I 408 00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:34,000 Speaker 1: feel good that something like that might happen. All Right, 409 00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:37,919 Speaker 1: it could be completely off pace, though, I think that 410 00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:42,240 Speaker 1: can happen. Trade up for Bernardick they traded up who 411 00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:46,000 Speaker 1: also Jalen Strong. They traded up for both of those 412 00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:49,040 Speaker 1: two guys in twenty fifteen in the second round, second 413 00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:52,080 Speaker 1: and third round, and then trade up for to Sean 414 00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:55,159 Speaker 1: last year. Traded I want to say, traded up in 415 00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:57,600 Speaker 1: twenty sixteen as well for a pick, but I can't 416 00:21:57,600 --> 00:21:59,480 Speaker 1: remember off the top of my head. But either way, 417 00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:01,720 Speaker 1: a lot of trading up has been happening here. Number three, 418 00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:07,320 Speaker 1: the Patriots are a mess and all of the drama 419 00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:12,040 Speaker 1: and defections will finally catch up to them. They will 420 00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:17,320 Speaker 1: not make the AFC Championship Game. Confidence one to ten. 421 00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:21,600 Speaker 1: How do you feel about that statement? I mean, I 422 00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:23,679 Speaker 1: wanted to be one. I wanted to be a fifteen, 423 00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:26,840 Speaker 1: But it's a one because they have distractions every year. 424 00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:29,199 Speaker 1: Maybe this year there something has changed even more so. 425 00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:32,200 Speaker 1: But as long as Brady's out there and Belichick's out there, 426 00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:35,800 Speaker 1: the one thing that unites everybody is the need to win. 427 00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:39,399 Speaker 1: So until I see it, happen. I'm not confident that 428 00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:46,840 Speaker 1: that's going to happen. Yeah, no, sorry. Number four John Gruden. 429 00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:51,120 Speaker 1: We remember John Gruden. I do. John Gruden gets Oakland 430 00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:58,199 Speaker 1: hyped and they return to the AFC playoffs. John Gruden 431 00:22:58,240 --> 00:23:02,359 Speaker 1: gets Oakland hyped his return and they return to the 432 00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:07,600 Speaker 1: AFC playoffs. What's your confidence level? And that being true? Sure, sure, 433 00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:09,479 Speaker 1: I would. I'd give that a name. I mean, I 434 00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:13,200 Speaker 1: think they're in one of the toughest divisions in the AFC. Yeah, West, 435 00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:17,119 Speaker 1: I think, I think why not? Last year they had 436 00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:19,359 Speaker 1: a drop off, but it's still surprised everybody. I think 437 00:23:19,359 --> 00:23:22,359 Speaker 1: if Derek Carr comes back and he's healthy, he'll be hungry. 438 00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:24,520 Speaker 1: And I think John Gruden there's quite a bit of 439 00:23:24,520 --> 00:23:26,960 Speaker 1: a shake up there. So yeah's let's give it a name. 440 00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:29,359 Speaker 1: I'm very curious to see what Gruden does coming back 441 00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:32,280 Speaker 1: after and you know, a lot of people give you 442 00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:34,520 Speaker 1: and ask me this about, you know, going back to coaching, 443 00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:36,640 Speaker 1: going back, would you ever go back to coach? I'm like, man, 444 00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:39,920 Speaker 1: I haven't coached since two thousand, Well, Gruden hasn't coached 445 00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:42,959 Speaker 1: since two thousand, right, I can't remember what it is 446 00:23:43,320 --> 00:23:46,760 Speaker 1: six something like that. So it's been ten years since 447 00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:48,960 Speaker 1: he last coached. How's that going to be going back 448 00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:52,119 Speaker 1: in I'm very curious how that rolls in Oakland. Well, 449 00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:54,359 Speaker 1: I don't think you forget coaching, and I think he 450 00:23:54,440 --> 00:23:56,280 Speaker 1: stayed close enough to the game where he's seen how 451 00:23:56,320 --> 00:23:58,399 Speaker 1: it's evolved. But I think what the difference is going 452 00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:01,320 Speaker 1: to be with Gruden is, unlike most brand new head coaches, 453 00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:04,240 Speaker 1: he's got instant respect in the locker room. He's got 454 00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:07,800 Speaker 1: that street credibility. He's back in Oakland. Everybody loves him there. 455 00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:09,879 Speaker 1: So I think he'll get that buying from the players 456 00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:13,479 Speaker 1: right away and whatever whatever he's trying to do, I 457 00:24:13,520 --> 00:24:16,119 Speaker 1: think that he'll get players to buy in and do it. Okay. 458 00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:23,879 Speaker 1: Number five DeAndre Hopkins will be ten top three in 459 00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:28,520 Speaker 1: the NFL and touchdown receptions in twenty eighteen, assuming DeShawn 460 00:24:28,560 --> 00:24:31,080 Speaker 1: Watson healthy all year. DeAndre Hopkins, Oh yeah, we'll be 461 00:24:31,119 --> 00:24:33,760 Speaker 1: top three NFL and team receptions in twenty eighteen. Ten. 462 00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:36,200 Speaker 1: I actually wrote a story about this today. There was 463 00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:39,280 Speaker 1: an early prediction, like a fantasy ESPN fantasy prediction that 464 00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:42,920 Speaker 1: said he would get ten touchdowns in twenty eighteen, tying 465 00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:45,160 Speaker 1: him for first with Um, I forget who the other 466 00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:48,720 Speaker 1: receiver was. Oh, I saw that petting projection. Maybe I'm 467 00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:52,400 Speaker 1: not really sure, but he actually quote tweeted it because 468 00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:55,320 Speaker 1: he had thirteen last year with three different quarterbacks. So 469 00:24:55,480 --> 00:24:58,199 Speaker 1: I mean, either either which way you slice it, I 470 00:24:58,200 --> 00:24:59,840 Speaker 1: think he's gonna be top three. I mean i'd be 471 00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:02,840 Speaker 1: prize if he didn't lead the league. I almost made 472 00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:05,960 Speaker 1: that will be the top and I thought that's pushing 473 00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:07,480 Speaker 1: it a little bit more. All Right, what would your 474 00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:10,760 Speaker 1: confidence be if I said he will catch more touchdowns 475 00:25:10,760 --> 00:25:14,120 Speaker 1: than anybody else in the league in twenty eighteen, Oh, 476 00:25:14,160 --> 00:25:17,480 Speaker 1: like all position groups? Yeah, everybody. He'd be the number 477 00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:22,800 Speaker 1: one touchdown catch, touchdown receiver, touchdown receptions, not to touchown 478 00:25:22,840 --> 00:25:25,719 Speaker 1: receptions yet. Oh yeah, yeah, i'd give that. I'd get 479 00:25:25,760 --> 00:25:27,680 Speaker 1: that at nine. I mean, what other positions top three? 480 00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:31,399 Speaker 1: You're giving it a ten? Yes, okay, because I just 481 00:25:31,440 --> 00:25:33,359 Speaker 1: don't know, like you could have a tight end or 482 00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:37,160 Speaker 1: a gronk or somebody. But I even then now, i'd 483 00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:40,480 Speaker 1: give it at nine. I'm with you on that. I 484 00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:42,359 Speaker 1: went back and I looked at and I can't remember 485 00:25:42,359 --> 00:25:44,640 Speaker 1: why I was looking back at this, but I looked 486 00:25:44,680 --> 00:25:49,080 Speaker 1: back at the four games that Deshaun played with will 487 00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:53,720 Speaker 1: and DeAndre. It was it was unbelievable the number of 488 00:25:53,840 --> 00:25:58,479 Speaker 1: touchdown catches just those two guys, right, And obviously Deshaan 489 00:25:58,600 --> 00:26:01,720 Speaker 1: had nineteen and six and a half games. He threw 490 00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:03,920 Speaker 1: the first one in. DeAndre in that game against Jacksonville 491 00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:07,960 Speaker 1: didn't throw on against Cincinnati, and then against New England 492 00:26:07,960 --> 00:26:10,600 Speaker 1: he had a couple, but then Will return that game 493 00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:16,520 Speaker 1: against Tennessee. In that game, DeAndre had two, will Head two. 494 00:26:16,840 --> 00:26:20,320 Speaker 1: The next week against Kansas City, will Head two, DeAndre 495 00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:23,920 Speaker 1: had three, and then it was Cleveland. They each had 496 00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:27,000 Speaker 1: one in that game. And then against Seattle, Will had 497 00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:31,600 Speaker 1: two and DeAndre had won the long one. Right, I mean, 498 00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:33,840 Speaker 1: that's incredible to think that's four games if you stretch 499 00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:39,920 Speaker 1: that out of I actually did that pace guy. Three 500 00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:43,280 Speaker 1: touchdowns for DeShawn Watson when I this is how depressing 501 00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:46,360 Speaker 1: this is. Getting ready for that Colts game. Buddy Mint, 502 00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:49,199 Speaker 1: who sent me the NFL research. It's a packet they 503 00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:52,679 Speaker 1: send out, I guess to NFL media people that are 504 00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:55,560 Speaker 1: covering a game, and it's got all I mean, it's 505 00:26:55,560 --> 00:26:58,080 Speaker 1: got tons of lists and stats, and so I went 506 00:26:58,080 --> 00:26:59,480 Speaker 1: and I looked, and they've got a kind of a 507 00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:03,040 Speaker 1: breakdown by you know, different stats and different things for 508 00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:06,840 Speaker 1: the each game. And so I quick, I just flipped 509 00:27:06,840 --> 00:27:09,879 Speaker 1: to the Texans and Colts and there's all kinds of 510 00:27:09,920 --> 00:27:12,400 Speaker 1: stuff and it's DeShawn DeShawn, DeShawn Deshaun. I mean, it's 511 00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:14,159 Speaker 1: just like he's set in records, he's doing all this. 512 00:27:14,560 --> 00:27:17,240 Speaker 1: They get to the very last line of the whole 513 00:27:17,320 --> 00:27:20,119 Speaker 1: thing and it says Sean Watson's on pace for forty 514 00:27:20,160 --> 00:27:24,320 Speaker 1: three touchdowns, and I choked on my lunch. It was like, 515 00:27:24,359 --> 00:27:26,359 Speaker 1: oh my gosh, because that's what it ended. The next day, 516 00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:28,159 Speaker 1: you got her. That's that's when it ended. Because I 517 00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:30,399 Speaker 1: remember I was doing a conference. I was doing like 518 00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:32,800 Speaker 1: a video call with the Colts, and they had just 519 00:27:32,960 --> 00:27:35,800 Speaker 1: placed Andrew Luck on IR and so we were getting 520 00:27:35,800 --> 00:27:39,119 Speaker 1: ready to do this video interview and they said, you know, 521 00:27:39,240 --> 00:27:41,280 Speaker 1: obviously with everything happened to the Luck, we're going to 522 00:27:41,320 --> 00:27:43,080 Speaker 1: focus a lot on de Seaun. So we did the 523 00:27:43,240 --> 00:27:45,720 Speaker 1: entire interview. As soon as I was done, I walk 524 00:27:45,800 --> 00:27:48,800 Speaker 1: out and I actually saw it on Twitter. Because did 525 00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:51,240 Speaker 1: we go to practice that day, I cannot remember. I 526 00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:53,720 Speaker 1: guess even if we did, we only see stretches, so 527 00:27:53,880 --> 00:27:57,720 Speaker 1: it must have happened in practice. He was out there thay. Oh, 528 00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:01,120 Speaker 1: it was just like we I mean just the entire 529 00:28:01,160 --> 00:28:03,600 Speaker 1: week we were like, what, we can't relive it. I can't. 530 00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:05,800 Speaker 1: I can't relive it. I can't. But you know, it's 531 00:28:05,840 --> 00:28:07,399 Speaker 1: fun to relive it because we know that it's in 532 00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:10,880 Speaker 1: the past and now we've waited all year for this. Okay, 533 00:28:10,920 --> 00:28:13,199 Speaker 1: we got one more. Oh, okay, maybe the most important one. 534 00:28:14,760 --> 00:28:19,000 Speaker 1: All right, here we go. Bachelor in Paradise is the 535 00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:23,240 Speaker 1: best guilty pleasure reality TV show of the summer. Of 536 00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:28,879 Speaker 1: the summer, well, the Bachelorette starts in May, Johnny does it. 537 00:28:29,440 --> 00:28:33,200 Speaker 1: It does, we get Bachelor and Bachelor Paradise, you get Bachelorette, 538 00:28:33,280 --> 00:28:36,639 Speaker 1: and when that, when that ends, the Paradise starts around 539 00:28:36,680 --> 00:28:40,840 Speaker 1: the time of drink Okay, so it's still considered summer. 540 00:28:41,320 --> 00:28:44,680 Speaker 1: So in other words, Bachelor in Paradise better than Bachelorette. 541 00:28:44,680 --> 00:28:47,680 Speaker 1: It gets better every other does it gets better ratings. 542 00:28:47,760 --> 00:28:51,640 Speaker 1: Although the Bachelor Winter Olympics was only like four or 543 00:28:51,680 --> 00:28:54,880 Speaker 1: five episodes, that was tremendous.

Actually, 575 00:30:23,360 --> 00:30:26,040 Speaker 1: preseason schedules should be out this week sometimes still waiting 576 00:30:26,080 --> 00:30:31,160 Speaker 1: on it. The regular season schedule will be next week sometime. 577 00:30:31,520 --> 00:30:34,640 Speaker 1: My guess is I'm guessing Wednesday.

There's no question. 595 00:31:21,120 --> 00:31:23,320 Speaker 1: Between radio and TV and all the interviews I have 596 00:31:23,400 --> 00:31:25,280 Speaker 1: to do leading up to it, my voice will die. 597 00:31:26,320 --> 00:31:29,000 Speaker 1: I could promise you that, but that's okay. My wife 598 00:31:29,040 --> 00:31:32,080 Speaker 1: likes that. But either way, if the Texans hang onto 599 00:31:32,120 --> 00:31:35,840 Speaker 1: those three third round picks, we talked yesterday about the 600 00:31:36,120 --> 00:31:41,080 Speaker 1: priority of position, and we looked at a few of 601 00:31:41,240 --> 00:31:44,360 Speaker 1: the multi round mock drafts that are out there. Dame 602 00:31:44,440 --> 00:31:46,200 Speaker 1: Ruger had one on the day, did a really nice 603 00:31:46,280 --> 00:31:51,680 Speaker 1: job with his He had a tackle. Trying to remember 604 00:31:51,720 --> 00:31:54,120 Speaker 1: the order which he had. He had a tackle, if 605 00:31:54,160 --> 00:31:58,520 Speaker 1: I remember correct, he had China Awasu from USC and 606 00:31:58,640 --> 00:32:01,560 Speaker 1: then he had Jalen Samuel's the tight end slash running back, 607 00:32:01,600 --> 00:32:04,040 Speaker 1: which I know sounds weird. I know it sounds weird, 608 00:32:04,280 --> 00:32:07,480 Speaker 1: and I tried to say that yesterday and talking about 609 00:32:07,560 --> 00:32:10,880 Speaker 1: Jaylen Samuels. I would love Jaylen Samuel's here. I would 610 00:32:10,920 --> 00:32:14,640 Speaker 1: love it. I think with the additions that if you're 611 00:32:14,640 --> 00:32:16,600 Speaker 1: able to add offensive lineman at a corner and the 612 00:32:16,680 --> 00:32:20,000 Speaker 1: draft that last pick, why not have it. Jalen Samuels. 613 00:32:20,040 --> 00:32:21,640 Speaker 1: I mean what he gives you in a passing game 614 00:32:21,760 --> 00:32:24,680 Speaker 1: as a former end in air quotes tight end because 615 00:32:24,680 --> 00:32:26,080 Speaker 1: he's not really a tight end. He never he never 616 00:32:26,160 --> 00:32:28,520 Speaker 1: really had a position NC State, but they would line 617 00:32:28,600 --> 00:32:30,120 Speaker 1: him up in the slot. They would line him up 618 00:32:30,120 --> 00:32:31,840 Speaker 1: as a white tight end. Sometimes he would be a 619 00:32:31,880 --> 00:32:33,560 Speaker 1: wide receiver and then they put him in running back 620 00:32:33,760 --> 00:32:36,160 Speaker 1: and he and Ninim Hines would end up sharing carries 621 00:32:36,480 --> 00:32:40,440 Speaker 1: at NC State night. He gives men running carries as 622 00:32:40,520 --> 00:32:43,600 Speaker 1: Hines got, but they put him back there running back. 623 00:32:43,640 --> 00:32:46,080 Speaker 1: He got the Senior Bowl, they had running back exclusively. 624 00:32:46,360 --> 00:32:49,000 Speaker 1: Now he was on a North squad therese Broncos coaching him, 625 00:32:49,080 --> 00:32:50,920 Speaker 1: but he was exclusive at running back. Then he went 626 00:32:50,920 --> 00:32:52,800 Speaker 1: to the Combine and he was there as a tight end. 627 00:32:53,440 --> 00:32:56,640 Speaker 1: He would be a perfect fit for this offense. He's 628 00:32:56,680 --> 00:33:00,400 Speaker 1: a he would be the ultimate chess piece because of 629 00:33:00,440 --> 00:33:02,840 Speaker 1: all the different things he could do. But we'll get 630 00:33:02,880 --> 00:33:04,040 Speaker 1: down a second. But I thought that was a good 631 00:33:04,040 --> 00:33:06,280 Speaker 1: one by Dame. So they kept me thinking about the 632 00:33:06,680 --> 00:33:10,920 Speaker 1: priority of position, and to me, there are there are 633 00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:16,640 Speaker 1: six different positions that they they could focus on at 634 00:33:16,720 --> 00:33:19,160 Speaker 1: that point, and I'll say offensive line, but really kind 635 00:33:19,160 --> 00:33:22,360 Speaker 1: of focusing on tackle. But I went through those six 636 00:33:22,440 --> 00:33:26,320 Speaker 1: positions that thought, okay, what are the names then of 637 00:33:26,520 --> 00:33:30,000 Speaker 1: people and why would they fit for the Texans? And 638 00:33:30,160 --> 00:33:32,840 Speaker 1: so I came up with the six positions offensive line 639 00:33:33,400 --> 00:33:38,760 Speaker 1: more or less offensive tackle, tight end, corner I have 640 00:33:38,920 --> 00:33:42,640 Speaker 1: safety down. And as I went through this exercise and 641 00:33:42,640 --> 00:33:44,920 Speaker 1: I started looking at where I would project some of 642 00:33:44,960 --> 00:33:47,360 Speaker 1: the safeties. I like some of the guys on this list. 643 00:33:47,440 --> 00:33:50,040 Speaker 1: I like them a lot, actually, running back and the 644 00:33:50,160 --> 00:33:52,520 Speaker 1: pass rusher, and to me, it's in that order. It's 645 00:33:52,560 --> 00:33:55,640 Speaker 1: offensive tackle, not in that order. Sorry. The top three though, 646 00:33:55,680 --> 00:33:58,000 Speaker 1: of its tackle, tight end, cornerback. I think those are 647 00:33:58,040 --> 00:34:01,840 Speaker 1: the three biggest ones, and I think safety, running back next, 648 00:34:01,920 --> 00:34:03,960 Speaker 1: and then hey, maybe you could put pass rusher on 649 00:34:04,040 --> 00:34:05,600 Speaker 1: the same line. So to me, it's like a tier 650 00:34:05,680 --> 00:34:09,280 Speaker 1: one off of the line, slash out to tackle, corner, 651 00:34:09,880 --> 00:34:12,799 Speaker 1: and then tight end. That's two one. Tier two would 652 00:34:12,840 --> 00:34:15,800 Speaker 1: end up being passed. Rusher, safety, running back. That's it. 653 00:34:15,960 --> 00:34:18,760 Speaker 1: That's if you get to that best player available category 654 00:34:18,960 --> 00:34:20,600 Speaker 1: and one of those guys on the list, and you go, man, 655 00:34:20,640 --> 00:34:23,480 Speaker 1: these guys still on the list. You can you could 656 00:34:23,600 --> 00:34:26,640 Speaker 1: make an argument for any of those Tier two positions 657 00:34:26,920 --> 00:34:29,400 Speaker 1: because he used the young safety. Absolutely, because he use 658 00:34:29,440 --> 00:34:31,799 Speaker 1: the guy maybe a little bigger, thicker that could roll 659 00:34:31,800 --> 00:34:34,880 Speaker 1: into the box, like a Marcus Allen from Penn State. No, 660 00:34:35,080 --> 00:34:37,359 Speaker 1: not the running back Marcus Owner from Penn State. Yeah, 661 00:34:37,360 --> 00:34:39,160 Speaker 1: I think he would be a nice fit rolling down 662 00:34:39,160 --> 00:34:40,680 Speaker 1: into the box, so he'd be a little different. So 663 00:34:41,080 --> 00:34:42,919 Speaker 1: I went through each position, and I'll talk about Marcus 664 00:34:42,960 --> 00:34:45,759 Speaker 1: own here in a little bit. But Tier one priorities 665 00:34:46,160 --> 00:34:48,360 Speaker 1: started off into tackle. Here the names I came up with. 666 00:34:49,880 --> 00:34:52,840 Speaker 1: Martinez ranking has not done a lot in this offseason 667 00:34:52,960 --> 00:34:56,000 Speaker 1: from Mississippi State because the injury he suffered at Mississippi State. 668 00:34:56,040 --> 00:34:57,320 Speaker 1: I don't know how much he's gonna be able to do. 669 00:34:58,120 --> 00:35:00,239 Speaker 1: He went the center in the spring. He could play 670 00:35:00,280 --> 00:35:02,239 Speaker 1: some center, but they play him at tackle. He could 671 00:35:02,239 --> 00:35:03,799 Speaker 1: play some guard. He's actually a guy that could play 672 00:35:03,800 --> 00:35:06,239 Speaker 1: all positions in the offensive line. Austin Corbett's courted kind 673 00:35:06,239 --> 00:35:09,239 Speaker 1: of the same way when Nevada played tackle, played left tackle, 674 00:35:09,320 --> 00:35:12,080 Speaker 1: played right tackle. Projected me a guard. He's got themensions 675 00:35:12,120 --> 00:35:14,480 Speaker 1: of a guard. I wasn't blown away at the Senior 676 00:35:14,520 --> 00:35:18,800 Speaker 1: Bowl when the Texas coached him, but watching his tape 677 00:35:18,800 --> 00:35:22,800 Speaker 1: he was. He was pretty good, really good, very violent 678 00:35:23,239 --> 00:35:26,040 Speaker 1: like in football Austin Corbett, but probably gonna be more 679 00:35:26,200 --> 00:35:30,440 Speaker 1: guard than he is a tackle. Drown Christian and Louisville. 680 00:35:30,480 --> 00:35:32,160 Speaker 1: Louisville does something a little different. They don't play a 681 00:35:32,200 --> 00:35:33,799 Speaker 1: left tackle right tackle. They play a quick and as 682 00:35:33,840 --> 00:35:36,680 Speaker 1: strong and so he played the quick tackle, which that 683 00:35:36,800 --> 00:35:39,359 Speaker 1: means is oftentimes he did not have a tight end 684 00:35:39,400 --> 00:35:41,839 Speaker 1: on his side. He would be the open tackle, there 685 00:35:41,840 --> 00:35:43,960 Speaker 1: would not be a tight end next to him. And 686 00:35:44,080 --> 00:35:47,479 Speaker 1: so he played both left and right at Louisville, which 687 00:35:47,680 --> 00:35:50,680 Speaker 1: to me is not a bad option. I watched him 688 00:35:50,719 --> 00:35:52,880 Speaker 1: pretty closely. The more I watched him, the more I 689 00:35:53,040 --> 00:35:55,560 Speaker 1: liked him, the more I felt like maybe he should 690 00:35:55,600 --> 00:35:57,359 Speaker 1: put him on a Harris one hundred. But that being said, 691 00:35:57,440 --> 00:35:59,960 Speaker 1: Drown Christian from Louisville can play both left and right 692 00:36:00,160 --> 00:36:03,359 Speaker 1: because he did that playing quick and strong at playing 693 00:36:03,400 --> 00:36:05,560 Speaker 1: a quick tackle. Sorry at Louisville where he had to 694 00:36:05,600 --> 00:36:09,160 Speaker 1: play both sides. Chukes Oka four, I'm sorry. Chukes a 695 00:36:09,280 --> 00:36:15,799 Speaker 1: core for from Western Michigan, young, long, big. This guy 696 00:36:15,920 --> 00:36:18,360 Speaker 1: has not even come close to tapping into this potential. 697 00:36:18,560 --> 00:36:22,160 Speaker 1: But to me, he's more a fourth rounder, but he's 698 00:36:22,200 --> 00:36:25,440 Speaker 1: got a lot of potential. Jamarco Jones Ohio State, played 699 00:36:25,480 --> 00:36:27,960 Speaker 1: left tackle out there. I think in that third round 700 00:36:28,040 --> 00:36:30,719 Speaker 1: Jamarco Jones probably fits maybe a little bit. Probably he 701 00:36:30,960 --> 00:36:33,040 Speaker 1: might be with that first pick in the fourth round, 702 00:36:33,520 --> 00:36:35,040 Speaker 1: but those those are the guys that would look at 703 00:36:35,080 --> 00:36:38,719 Speaker 1: offensive line preferably with a tackle slant. Tight Ends Ian 704 00:36:38,760 --> 00:36:41,560 Speaker 1: Thomas I've talked about from me Indianna, guy that was 705 00:36:41,760 --> 00:36:44,200 Speaker 1: on the South squad at the Senior Bowl. Ryan is 706 00:36:44,239 --> 00:36:46,560 Speaker 1: a floor state of all the tight ends, this guy's 707 00:36:46,560 --> 00:36:48,759 Speaker 1: probably the best blocking tight end that I think the 708 00:36:48,840 --> 00:36:51,120 Speaker 1: third round might be a little rich for him, but 709 00:36:51,200 --> 00:36:53,560 Speaker 1: the way he can block and get after it be nasty. 710 00:36:54,000 --> 00:36:56,399 Speaker 1: He's very interesting. And then I've gotten this question before, 711 00:36:56,440 --> 00:36:58,880 Speaker 1: would I take Ian Thomas or I'd take Dalton Schultz 712 00:36:59,120 --> 00:37:03,399 Speaker 1: from Stanford. I would take Thomas because I think also 713 00:37:03,440 --> 00:37:05,719 Speaker 1: he's got some experience with his coaching staff, having worked 714 00:37:05,760 --> 00:37:08,160 Speaker 1: with the Texas coaching staff at the Senior Bowl. But 715 00:37:08,280 --> 00:37:10,960 Speaker 1: Dalton Schultz can play. Stanford spit out a ton of 716 00:37:11,000 --> 00:37:12,680 Speaker 1: tight ends and Dalton Schultz is the next in line. 717 00:37:12,680 --> 00:37:14,719 Speaker 1: I think the third round is probably about where he goes. 718 00:37:15,080 --> 00:37:17,719 Speaker 1: So to me, those those guys Thomas and Schultz and 719 00:37:17,760 --> 00:37:20,759 Speaker 1: the third Izzoo that might be a little tough. I 720 00:37:20,800 --> 00:37:22,560 Speaker 1: think maybe into the fourth he did not roam out 721 00:37:22,600 --> 00:37:24,600 Speaker 1: the combine. That could turn some teams off. But I 722 00:37:24,719 --> 00:37:27,279 Speaker 1: still think he is a big time player and can 723 00:37:27,360 --> 00:37:29,960 Speaker 1: fit an offense that still wants to run the football 724 00:37:30,280 --> 00:37:32,680 Speaker 1: as a traditional why tight end, I think he fits 725 00:37:33,040 --> 00:37:36,800 Speaker 1: at corner. Dante Jackson is the guys he mocked to 726 00:37:36,920 --> 00:37:39,560 Speaker 1: the Texans a lot in one of those third round picks. 727 00:37:39,800 --> 00:37:42,279 Speaker 1: Man four three one is pro Day, his former track 728 00:37:42,360 --> 00:37:45,520 Speaker 1: star actually still a track star. Not the cleanest game 729 00:37:45,560 --> 00:37:49,439 Speaker 1: in the world. Had some issues last year just technique wise, 730 00:37:49,520 --> 00:37:51,560 Speaker 1: but man, he can fly, and you feel like if 731 00:37:51,560 --> 00:37:53,320 Speaker 1: you got a good coaching staff, and I feel Anthony 732 00:37:53,360 --> 00:37:55,640 Speaker 1: Midget's gonna be a really good secondary coach. I think 733 00:37:55,800 --> 00:37:58,240 Speaker 1: he could really mold a young guy like Dante Jackson. 734 00:37:58,320 --> 00:38:01,840 Speaker 1: Duke Dawson from Florida can play any position in secondary. 735 00:38:01,840 --> 00:38:04,160 Speaker 1: To be honest, I think he's best served to be 736 00:38:04,200 --> 00:38:07,680 Speaker 1: a nickel to play inside. But Duke Dawson's a play er. 737 00:38:08,400 --> 00:38:10,480 Speaker 1: Loved seeing him at Senior Bowl and he was there 738 00:38:10,560 --> 00:38:13,480 Speaker 1: probably eight ten pounds underweight to Senior Bowl because he 739 00:38:13,520 --> 00:38:15,920 Speaker 1: had been sick and dealing with the flu and missed 740 00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:17,920 Speaker 1: the first day of practice, then came back and battled 741 00:38:17,960 --> 00:38:21,800 Speaker 1: through it. Tremont Smith, keep this name in mind, Central Arkansas. 742 00:38:22,080 --> 00:38:25,520 Speaker 1: I did a game this past fall, Central Arkansas against 743 00:38:25,640 --> 00:38:29,760 Speaker 1: HBU Tremont Smith wearing number one during a game I'm watching, 744 00:38:29,840 --> 00:38:33,160 Speaker 1: going this guy's this guy's big time. Wow. Look at 745 00:38:33,200 --> 00:38:36,960 Speaker 1: his dimensions. I circled him. I'm like, man, Texas need 746 00:38:37,040 --> 00:38:38,880 Speaker 1: a corner. This guy might be a good fit. I 747 00:38:38,960 --> 00:38:41,120 Speaker 1: think third round might be a little rich. But his 748 00:38:41,280 --> 00:38:43,440 Speaker 1: name is really catching fire ran four three two to 749 00:38:43,560 --> 00:38:45,799 Speaker 1: pro Day at five to eleven about a buck eighty five. 750 00:38:46,239 --> 00:38:49,600 Speaker 1: That guy can fly and he can return punts. He 751 00:38:50,040 --> 00:38:53,440 Speaker 1: is a player play baseball and so he knows how 752 00:38:53,480 --> 00:38:56,200 Speaker 1: to track deep balls. He's a very interesting guy. Trymon 753 00:38:56,280 --> 00:38:59,600 Speaker 1: Smith Tray Smith from University of Central Arkansas. Anthony Averett 754 00:38:59,719 --> 00:39:03,839 Speaker 1: played Alabama out on the edge. Isaac yet Him from 755 00:39:03,880 --> 00:39:07,400 Speaker 1: Boston College. When I saw him at the Senior Bowl, like, man, 756 00:39:07,480 --> 00:39:09,279 Speaker 1: he's impressive looking dude, and then he got into his 757 00:39:09,360 --> 00:39:12,040 Speaker 1: stance and I'm like, what's wrong with him? He looks 758 00:39:12,080 --> 00:39:14,040 Speaker 1: weird and then all of a sudden, receiver tried to 759 00:39:14,080 --> 00:39:16,319 Speaker 1: get off the ball and then boom he would hit 760 00:39:16,400 --> 00:39:18,880 Speaker 1: with that jam at the line of scrimmage and receivers 761 00:39:18,920 --> 00:39:21,600 Speaker 1: went nowhere. Isaac yet Him could be a guy. Now 762 00:39:21,640 --> 00:39:24,800 Speaker 1: he didn't run exceptionally fast and the combine and that 763 00:39:25,080 --> 00:39:27,680 Speaker 1: could send him back a little bit. But that length whole, man, 764 00:39:27,760 --> 00:39:30,160 Speaker 1: it's enticing. So those are some names of the Tier 765 00:39:30,200 --> 00:39:34,160 Speaker 1: one positions. Now tier two, Like I said, safety, pass rusher, 766 00:39:34,320 --> 00:39:36,520 Speaker 1: running back. Let me start with safeties because to me, 767 00:39:37,120 --> 00:39:38,920 Speaker 1: this is where I think there's some good value to 768 00:39:39,000 --> 00:39:41,360 Speaker 1: be found at safeties with some of these guys on 769 00:39:41,400 --> 00:39:44,360 Speaker 1: the board. ARMANI watch from Texas AM. I've seen almost 770 00:39:44,400 --> 00:39:48,960 Speaker 1: every game that watch play to texasm. He is one 771 00:39:49,000 --> 00:39:51,160 Speaker 1: of the best playmaking safeties. He did not have a 772 00:39:51,200 --> 00:39:53,040 Speaker 1: great Senior Bowl. He got dinged up at some point 773 00:39:53,160 --> 00:39:55,520 Speaker 1: late in the week to not playing the game, but 774 00:39:56,080 --> 00:39:58,960 Speaker 1: throughout his career he'd be a ball hawk that need 775 00:39:59,000 --> 00:40:01,319 Speaker 1: to be a tackle monster. Then he'd kind of put 776 00:40:01,360 --> 00:40:03,800 Speaker 1: both them together. But he missed a lot of tackles, 777 00:40:04,320 --> 00:40:06,600 Speaker 1: and there would be times where he's trying to make 778 00:40:06,719 --> 00:40:09,799 Speaker 1: up for what was lacking in the secondary and then 779 00:40:09,840 --> 00:40:12,800 Speaker 1: he'd be out of place. But he can play. I 780 00:40:12,920 --> 00:40:15,400 Speaker 1: think he may not start right away, but man, you 781 00:40:15,480 --> 00:40:18,319 Speaker 1: want a ball hawk in his secondary and you wanted 782 00:40:18,360 --> 00:40:20,600 Speaker 1: to focus on that, I think he could be your guy. 783 00:40:21,080 --> 00:40:26,759 Speaker 1: To various more Southern Miss. Was not well known in fact, 784 00:40:26,800 --> 00:40:29,040 Speaker 1: going into this whole process and not going to combine invite, 785 00:40:29,480 --> 00:40:32,799 Speaker 1: but he blew up his pro day at six ninety nine, 786 00:40:33,320 --> 00:40:36,920 Speaker 1: blew it up thirty nine. It's vertical, ran the four 787 00:40:37,040 --> 00:40:39,439 Speaker 1: four range, I believe. So I went back and watch 788 00:40:39,520 --> 00:40:42,880 Speaker 1: his film actually this week talk about a player. Wow, 789 00:40:43,440 --> 00:40:45,440 Speaker 1: he can make some plays back there. To various more 790 00:40:45,520 --> 00:40:49,080 Speaker 1: Southern Miss. Terrell Edmunds, the brother Tremaine Edmunds from Virginia Tech. 791 00:40:49,600 --> 00:40:53,160 Speaker 1: He's name that's gaining a lot of steam from Virginia Tech. 792 00:40:53,280 --> 00:40:55,719 Speaker 1: Uman I and him, Terrell Edmunds, Marcus Allen from Penn State. 793 00:40:55,760 --> 00:40:58,239 Speaker 1: This guy mentioned earlier more box safety. You don't hear 794 00:40:58,320 --> 00:41:00,360 Speaker 1: that term. I guess throwing around too much anymore because 795 00:41:00,360 --> 00:41:02,799 Speaker 1: you're not playing box safeties as much. But that's pretty 796 00:41:02,880 --> 00:41:07,239 Speaker 1: much what he is. He's big, strong, physical, likes to hit. 797 00:41:07,760 --> 00:41:10,279 Speaker 1: Not great in coverage, they'll stiff into hips, but that 798 00:41:10,360 --> 00:41:12,080 Speaker 1: guy can make some places near the line of scrimmage 799 00:41:12,120 --> 00:41:14,120 Speaker 1: when he comes to tackers. So safety's got some good names. 800 00:41:14,160 --> 00:41:17,279 Speaker 1: Pass rusher. I mentioned Chakeem Griffin yesterday. Here's the name 801 00:41:17,320 --> 00:41:19,160 Speaker 1: to keep in mind. Local people will know this name. 802 00:41:19,760 --> 00:41:22,560 Speaker 1: Went to North Shore High School. Dawrance Armstrong Junior went 803 00:41:22,600 --> 00:41:26,400 Speaker 1: to Kansas, played out of position as a junior, but 804 00:41:26,480 --> 00:41:28,560 Speaker 1: as a sophomore was one of the better pass rushers 805 00:41:28,600 --> 00:41:30,839 Speaker 1: in the league in a Big twelve. Dawrance Armstrong Junior 806 00:41:30,920 --> 00:41:33,560 Speaker 1: keeping on him. And here's another one, and really, pass 807 00:41:33,680 --> 00:41:35,960 Speaker 1: rusher doesn't do it justice. I guess he's not a 808 00:41:36,120 --> 00:41:39,440 Speaker 1: great pass rusher, but he is a will of an 809 00:41:39,440 --> 00:41:43,719 Speaker 1: outside linebacker. That's the Lorenzo Carter. He is athletic, oh 810 00:41:43,800 --> 00:41:49,440 Speaker 1: my goodness, but didn't produce as much pass rusher as 811 00:41:49,480 --> 00:41:52,320 Speaker 1: a pass rusher as you'd want. But he can do 812 00:41:52,440 --> 00:41:54,919 Speaker 1: everything that an outside linebacker does, which is sort of weird. 813 00:41:55,160 --> 00:41:56,960 Speaker 1: So Lorenzo Carter would be another name i'd thrown there. 814 00:41:57,080 --> 00:41:59,919 Speaker 1: Running back. This is the one position where third round. 815 00:42:00,800 --> 00:42:02,920 Speaker 1: I don't say you're reaching a little bit, but I 816 00:42:03,080 --> 00:42:07,520 Speaker 1: think Sony Michelle and Nick Chubb and Darius Gye and 817 00:42:07,920 --> 00:42:10,160 Speaker 1: sae Quon Barkley, they'll all be off the board. I 818 00:42:10,239 --> 00:42:12,439 Speaker 1: think Carrie On Johnson will probably be off the board. 819 00:42:12,680 --> 00:42:14,359 Speaker 1: So I came up with these names. Kayla Balash from 820 00:42:14,360 --> 00:42:18,080 Speaker 1: Arizona State physical Specimen six two two thirty. Run to 821 00:42:18,160 --> 00:42:21,840 Speaker 1: the four to four range, big, strong, fast, does everything 822 00:42:22,080 --> 00:42:24,160 Speaker 1: really well. Actually a good receiver on the backfield too. 823 00:42:24,280 --> 00:42:27,279 Speaker 1: Nine Hines is a little bit like Tyler Irvin. Kind 824 00:42:27,280 --> 00:42:29,840 Speaker 1: of gives you that out in space, that space player 825 00:42:30,080 --> 00:42:31,680 Speaker 1: that you want on the backfield. And then a guy 826 00:42:31,719 --> 00:42:34,239 Speaker 1: that worked with the Texans at the Senior Bowl with 827 00:42:34,400 --> 00:42:36,319 Speaker 1: the South squad, one of the leading rushers in the country. 828 00:42:36,320 --> 00:42:38,400 Speaker 1: That's Shot Penny. I think you second the country ra 829 00:42:38,480 --> 00:42:43,399 Speaker 1: Shot Penny big time speed and explosiveness. Struggled a little 830 00:42:43,400 --> 00:42:45,600 Speaker 1: bit at the Senior Bowl, kind of learning a new 831 00:42:45,680 --> 00:42:47,360 Speaker 1: offense and some of the things he was asked to do, 832 00:42:48,480 --> 00:42:50,879 Speaker 1: but man is the week war On, he got better 833 00:42:50,960 --> 00:42:53,520 Speaker 1: and better and better. Shot Penny would be a really 834 00:42:53,680 --> 00:42:56,319 Speaker 1: nice fit in this offense with his home run hitting ability. Oh, 835 00:42:56,480 --> 00:42:59,759 Speaker 1: by the way, he is an incredible kick returner as well, 836 00:43:00,120 --> 00:43:01,799 Speaker 1: So if we're looking for the return game to get 837 00:43:01,800 --> 00:43:04,239 Speaker 1: a little bit better shot, Penny would end up being 838 00:43:04,239 --> 00:43:06,440 Speaker 1: a really nice fit. That's how I learned about him 839 00:43:06,480 --> 00:43:08,880 Speaker 1: a couple of years ago when he's backing up Donelle Pumphrey. 840 00:43:09,200 --> 00:43:12,120 Speaker 1: I'm watching the game and I see this return or 841 00:43:12,200 --> 00:43:14,000 Speaker 1: run one back and I'm like, that dude can fly? 842 00:43:14,520 --> 00:43:17,359 Speaker 1: Who is that shot? Penny followed him obviously, you second 843 00:43:17,360 --> 00:43:18,920 Speaker 1: to country. I think he's second the country last year 844 00:43:18,920 --> 00:43:20,640 Speaker 1: and rushing. So there are just some of the names 845 00:43:20,680 --> 00:43:23,239 Speaker 1: to know as we get close to the draft, the 846 00:43:23,280 --> 00:43:25,319 Speaker 1: Texas could be looking at in the third round at 847 00:43:25,400 --> 00:43:28,680 Speaker 1: those premium positions. Gotta thank Deep and Drew. Gotta thank 848 00:43:28,719 --> 00:43:31,439 Speaker 1: you guys for listening.
