1
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:03,560
Speaker 1: Hello Texans, welcome to the show. We are pumped up.

2
00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:07,360
Speaker 1: Free agency frenzy continues, and we were live yesterday, live

3
00:00:07,400 --> 00:00:09,800
Speaker 1: today here in the Hunday Texans Radio studio, which is

4
00:00:09,840 --> 00:00:13,440
Speaker 1: located at the moment in the Sports Radio six ten studios.

5
00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:15,720
Speaker 1: Because we like being here with the guys. We're here

6
00:00:15,760 --> 00:00:18,479
Speaker 1: with Chris Santiago behind the glass and when we have

7
00:00:19,079 --> 00:00:23,840
Speaker 1: breaking either Texans or prominent NFL free agent news, he'll

8
00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:25,799
Speaker 1: hit that six to ten sounder because.

9
00:00:25,520 --> 00:00:26,120
Speaker 2: We like it.

10
00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:29,760
Speaker 1: And you never know during the show something might break.

11
00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:32,640
Speaker 1: But plenty of stuff happened today. Mark Vandermin and John

12
00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:35,319
Speaker 1: Harris with you. We're live on YouTube. Also you can

13
00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:39,280
Speaker 1: consume the program in a variety of ways. And yesterday

14
00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:43,080
Speaker 1: we reacted to a lot of different Texans news like

15
00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:45,559
Speaker 1: Larry me Tunzel being traded. But let's react to what

16
00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:49,720
Speaker 1: went down today, Johnny, because the biggest news of the day.

17
00:00:50,080 --> 00:00:50,479
Speaker 2: CJ.

18
00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:55,960
Speaker 1: Gardner Johnson's safety was acquired in a trade for Kenyon

19
00:00:56,040 --> 00:00:58,840
Speaker 1: Green and a pick swap in twenty twenty six with

20
00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:04,080
Speaker 1: lower round picks, so CJ. Gardner Johnson bolsters the secondary.

21
00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:07,360
Speaker 1: Kenyon Green not a factor on the old line anymore.

22
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:10,479
Speaker 1: First round pick along with Derek Stingley Junior in twenty

23
00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:12,800
Speaker 1: twenty two, the year before they got CJ and Will

24
00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:17,480
Speaker 1: And I love this because Kenyon might have been great

25
00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:19,720
Speaker 1: depth piece. Maybe he worked his way back into the

26
00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:22,160
Speaker 1: starting lineup, if we could have projected forward.

27
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:24,240
Speaker 2: Maybe, but maybe not.

28
00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:28,400
Speaker 1: And now for a guy who might have been on

29
00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:32,880
Speaker 1: the pine, you get a front line demon in the

30
00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:36,600
Speaker 1: secondary to go along with Calen Bullock and Jimmy Ward

31
00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:37,600
Speaker 1: and Jalen Petrie.

32
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:41,520
Speaker 2: I gotta say I like it. M J Stewart coming

33
00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:43,240
Speaker 2: back to is gonna be good. Yeah.

34
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:46,680
Speaker 3: MJ has meant a lot to disorganization, personal protector and

35
00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:49,400
Speaker 3: punt team, Core four, special team. Or he resigns today

36
00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:53,400
Speaker 3: and you add him to the mix. Here's the thought

37
00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:57,280
Speaker 3: Kamarian Sting. They don't talk for they don't talk, like

38
00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:00,360
Speaker 3: Sting says, maybe five words in a game talk.

39
00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:04,240
Speaker 2: Receivers have said, I tried to count. He doesn't talk. CJ.

40
00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:09,120
Speaker 3: Gardner, Johnson, Jalen Petree and Jimmy Ward will talk enough

41
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:14,160
Speaker 3: for the entire secondary, and then some they will talk trash.

42
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:17,960
Speaker 3: They are roofless. They will knock you in the next week.

43
00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:21,760
Speaker 3: I kind of like it. I like the intimidation factor.

44
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:22,440
Speaker 2: You know.

45
00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:25,120
Speaker 3: CJ's a guy that just riles it up, and I'm

46
00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:25,600
Speaker 3: fine with that.

47
00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:27,200
Speaker 2: Use the word demon. I like that.

48
00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:33,440
Speaker 3: That's a good one. He plays relentlessly. He feels very swarmy.

49
00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:35,840
Speaker 3: So like if you think about like a chicken sandwich,

50
00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:39,160
Speaker 3: like a chicken sandwich is like, there's a spicy chicken sandwich.

51
00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:41,160
Speaker 2: I think you recently had a chicken sandwich. That's why

52
00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:41,639
Speaker 2: you're no.

53
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:44,400
Speaker 3: I had nuggets, okay, but you got like a you

54
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:46,520
Speaker 3: got like a regular chicken sandwich, then you got a

55
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:50,440
Speaker 3: spicy chicken sandwich, and then you got Nashville Hot chicken sandwich.

56
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:52,800
Speaker 3: So like if you had him kind of like that,

57
00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:57,320
Speaker 3: you just got the Nashville Hot chicken sandwich with with CJ.

58
00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:00,320
Speaker 3: Gardner Johnson, because that dude is on fire all time,

59
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:03,440
Speaker 3: like all the time. He is not back off. He

60
00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:08,440
Speaker 3: was battling Swifties after the Super Bowl. He was He

61
00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:10,800
Speaker 3: is that kind of guy. Chance again this year. He

62
00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:14,919
Speaker 3: stirs it up. He gets after it. He's physical. He

63
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:17,680
Speaker 3: was one of my favorite players coming out of the draft.

64
00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:19,639
Speaker 3: The year he came out and I want to say

65
00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:21,359
Speaker 3: it was nineteen. Maybe I have to go back. I've

66
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:24,120
Speaker 3: got his scouting report, and I know I love I

67
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:27,600
Speaker 3: loved him, loved him. Now, is he gonna snatch a

68
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:29,560
Speaker 3: chain off with some wide receiver at some point?

69
00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:30,240
Speaker 2: Maybe?

70
00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:33,200
Speaker 3: Might he get a fifteen yard penalty at some point

71
00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:36,920
Speaker 3: taking a little shot on the sideline. Maybe, But he's

72
00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:40,480
Speaker 3: gonna produce. And I think he had six interceptions this year.

73
00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:46,360
Speaker 3: So if you take CJ six, Kaylin's five, and Derek

74
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:50,560
Speaker 3: Stingley junior, Derrick singlely had five, Mari had four, that

75
00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:51,200
Speaker 3: sounds right.

76
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:54,720
Speaker 2: It's a lot of interceptions. Yeah, I think that's twenty.

77
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:59,520
Speaker 3: If my Matt there, there is a very very good

78
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:01,200
Speaker 3: chance second.

79
00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:04,360
Speaker 1: So Murray's gone. Murray is a Jaguar. Eric Murray's gone.

80
00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:07,400
Speaker 1: You upgraded there, and I like Eric Murray, but come on,

81
00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:09,760
Speaker 1: you got CJ. Gardner Johnson instead of Eric Murray and

82
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:12,560
Speaker 1: Murray had the pick six. It's funny how each of

83
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:14,800
Speaker 1: the last two years you get guys with pick sixes

84
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:17,400
Speaker 1: in playoff wins and they're gone, like Steven Nelson in

85
00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:22,360
Speaker 1: twenty twenty threes postseason, twenty twenty fourth postseason, Eric Murray whatever.

86
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:23,720
Speaker 2: But C J.

87
00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:27,839
Speaker 1: Gardner Johnson comes in to replace Murray, set the lineup

88
00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:35,560
Speaker 1: for me because Jimmy Ward, Jalen Petree, CJ. Gardner, Johnson Klin. Well,

89
00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:38,800
Speaker 1: you know that's I can't start all those guys. I

90
00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:42,040
Speaker 1: still have Derek, and I got Kamari on the corners.

91
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:44,240
Speaker 2: You know, Steve Kamari starting. You know that.

92
00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:49,960
Speaker 1: Uh you know, hang on one second, Oh.

97
00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:13,039
Speaker 2: five time All Pro wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins to a

98
00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:14,839
Speaker 2: one year, six million dollar deal.

99
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:18,520
Speaker 3: Okay, It's funny because last night we were talking about

100
00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:20,679
Speaker 3: this after the show. We told Chris Are like, okay,

101
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:25,960
Speaker 3: look it's Texans news. Yeah, or it's like big NFL

102
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:29,719
Speaker 3: news and right off the right off the bat six

103
00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:30,400

104
00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:31,120

00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:36,080
Speaker 3: the rules. Na man, you knocked that up. Part good one.

107
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:38,680
Speaker 3: This is definitely one. DeAndre Hopkins going to the Ravens

108
00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:42,719
Speaker 3: one year, five million dollar deal up to six million.

109
00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:44,440
Speaker 2: He goes to the Ravens.

110
00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:46,240
Speaker 1: I don't think it's big NFL news. I think it's

111
00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:48,840
Speaker 1: big Texans news because it's a former Texan.

112
00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:51,920
Speaker 2: I mean, DeAndre is still a name that people recognize.

113
00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:53,800
Speaker 2: It is, it is, it's a big one. It's a bit.

114
00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:56,800
Speaker 1: But yeah, his game is not what it was correct.

115
00:05:56,839 --> 00:05:59,240
Speaker 1: Well for the Ravens, he can help them, and good

116
00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:01,920
Speaker 1: for him. He goes, except I don't like this. Can

117
00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:06,240
Speaker 1: you please leave the AFC? Can you please go back

118
00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:09,520
Speaker 1: to the NFC. When you left here it was the Cardinals.

119
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:10,640
Speaker 1: Obviously that's where they end.

120
00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:13,640
Speaker 2: The NFC and bring us back David Johnson and all

121
00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:16,480
Speaker 2: is good. Yeah, I don't can do that. Do that.

122
00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:18,040
Speaker 1: I don't think that's a good thing that's gonna happen. No,

123
00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:19,800
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna happen. You're not gonna be happy with

124
00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:21,320
Speaker 1: that trade. No, not gonna bet at all.

125
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:23,200
Speaker 3: Well, then at second round and a pick number forty,

126
00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:25,599
Speaker 3: don't you're not gonna be happy with that? And why

127
00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:28,719
Speaker 3: in the hell where John and Reggie and Figgie? The

128
00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:33,480
Speaker 3: question today was what Bob moments that you remember like

129
00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:35,920
Speaker 3: they started going down all the moments and I'm literally

130
00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:40,120
Speaker 3: driving shaking my head, like I lived that, we.

131
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:41,880
Speaker 2: Lived that, We live that You and I lived that.

132
00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:44,480
Speaker 2: We lived that, and now today I'm looking at it going.

133
00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:48,480
Speaker 2: Nick traded a guy that more than likely was not It.

134
00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:50,239
Speaker 3: Was a fifty to fifty shot to make the roster

135
00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:54,719
Speaker 3: much less start, and you got Chauncey Gardner, CJ.

136
00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:55,640
Speaker 2: Gardner Johnson.

137
00:06:55,800 --> 00:07:02,159
Speaker 1: Yeah what Yeah, that's a great deal. And the pictures. Yeah, Nick,

138
00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:05,520
Speaker 1: Nick does what Nick does, and you know, they needed

139
00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:09,080
Speaker 1: a lignement. And it's a good place for Kenyon to be,

140
00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:12,320
Speaker 1: you know, get out of your hometown somewhere else.

141
00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:14,400
Speaker 2: I am a huge proponent of that.

142
00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:17,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, and maybe you can resurrect your career that way.

143
00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:19,080
Speaker 1: So good for him. All right, other things that have

144
00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:21,040
Speaker 1: happened today, and we'll get to the hop thing and

145
00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:24,440
Speaker 1: all the other teams. But Nick Neeman signs with the Texans.

146
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:27,840
Speaker 1: That's more like Neville HEWITTT. Yeah, and that's what I thought.

147
00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:30,600
Speaker 1: I asked you that I thought sounds like nevill Hewitt

148
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:33,000
Speaker 1: to me, and nevill Hewitt still out there. I think

149
00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:36,240
Speaker 1: maybe it comes back to who knows, but Nick Nemon

150
00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:39,360
Speaker 1: is gonna automatically help special teams can play. Yesterday, after

151
00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:42,000
Speaker 1: we got off the air, Jake Hanson street the terms.

152
00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:42,920
Speaker 2: That was cool.

153
00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:45,920
Speaker 1: Mario Edwards back on the d line. Very nice two

154
00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:49,800
Speaker 1: year deal. So Mario starting defensive tackle. You've got him back.

155
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:52,679
Speaker 1: So you've got Rankins who played for you in twenty

156
00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:55,640
Speaker 1: twenty three, Edwards who played for you last year. Bang,

157
00:07:55,720 --> 00:08:00,240
Speaker 1: bang starting. If it's not settle rotation, all of that, right,

158
00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:03,120
Speaker 1: they'll all rotate rotating in there as well. Togyi is

159
00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:08,320
Speaker 1: still the property of still on the roster. Yeahh andgned him.

160
00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:10,200
Speaker 2: Yeah. I was tremendous last half of the year.

161
00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:12,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, toky I. I bet they're thinking in the room,

162
00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:13,400
Speaker 1: we got toki I.

163
00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:15,920
Speaker 3: And we everybody knows that I'm in I'm in your

164
00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:18,200
Speaker 3: ear during the game, and I would I don't know

165
00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:21,160
Speaker 3: how many times I would just say Togii. And at

166
00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:22,920
Speaker 3: first I was like I just want to say his name,

167
00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:25,440
Speaker 3: but then it was like he's making all the play,

168
00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:28,840
Speaker 3: He's all over the place, making place. Now here's the

169
00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:31,240
Speaker 3: one thing we don't have. What we don't have. Size,

170
00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:36,800
Speaker 3: We don't have side No. Tim, Tim's a big broad dude,

171
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:41,640
Speaker 3: about three point fifteen ish. We don't have I don't know.

172
00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:45,440
Speaker 3: I mean, like Foley was athletic, agile size at like

173
00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:49,000
Speaker 3: three twenty So maybe there's a thought he comes back,

174
00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:51,800
Speaker 3: but that's where a guy like Kenneth Grant would come

175
00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:54,520
Speaker 3: and play. But all you know, it's funny because you

176
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:57,240
Speaker 3: kind of have ideas going into free agency and then

177
00:08:57,240 --> 00:08:59,520
Speaker 3: you're watching free agency and you're like, man, I have

178
00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:02,920
Speaker 3: kept I kept thinking that interior defensive line would be

179
00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:05,600
Speaker 3: a spot that they would highlight potentially at twenty five

180
00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:06,200
Speaker 3: in the draft.

181
00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:10,559
Speaker 2: And now I look at it and go, man, they got.

182
00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:15,240
Speaker 3: A preloaded or pretty full roster at interior defensive tackle.

183
00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:17,880
Speaker 3: I mean when you when you bring in like like

184
00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:22,480
Speaker 3: we just said, you got Mario Edwards coming back, Uh

185
00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:25,160
Speaker 3: settles already here. You know you said how you're gonna

186
00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:27,400
Speaker 3: handle it. It's gonna be a rotation like it always is.

187
00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:27,720
Speaker 2: Yep.

188
00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:30,560
Speaker 3: And then Denko can play in there, Dene Rogery can

189
00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:32,000
Speaker 3: play in there on pass rush down.

190
00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:35,720
Speaker 2: So man, you like, okay, I still.

191
00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:38,600
Speaker 3: Feel like in a draft that is loaded with them,

192
00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:40,640
Speaker 3: maybe you don't even go for a second third round.

193
00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:43,079
Speaker 3: Maybe you end up getting a Day three defensive lineman

194
00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:46,160
Speaker 3: because that dude in previous drafts from a future draft

195
00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:48,560
Speaker 3: would be a Day two pick because it's that loaded

196
00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:49,240
Speaker 3: at defensive tackle.

197
00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:51,800
Speaker 1: I would luck cracking the starting lineup. If you're drafted

198
00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:54,000
Speaker 1: on this team, on the D line, I would luck

199
00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:57,400
Speaker 1: with that, or linebacker or anywhere in the secondary. You're

200
00:09:57,400 --> 00:09:59,560
Speaker 1: not cracking it in all likelihood, and if you do,

201
00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:02,480
Speaker 1: maybe it's because of injuries or you're that good. Okay,

202
00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:05,880
Speaker 1: But me think Kenneth Grant maybe because he's that big

203
00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:08,520
Speaker 1: and you mentioned size and first down player and all that,

204
00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:09,880
Speaker 1: then you come right out of the game because they're

205
00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:11,880
Speaker 1: in the second and long preferably I mean, and then

206
00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:13,040
Speaker 1: you're going after the quarterback.

207
00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:14,840
Speaker 3: I still think Grant's gonna be able to push the pocket.

208
00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:19,040
Speaker 3: To me, I think Kenneth's Grant is is like DJ

209
00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:21,120
Speaker 3: Reader in that sense, like I think he's gonna get

210
00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:22,640
Speaker 3: better and better and better, but he's.

211
00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:24,240
Speaker 2: Got I don't think he's gonna be there twenty five.

212
00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:25,560
Speaker 2: I don't think he's gonna be there twenty five.

213
00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:28,840
Speaker 3: But my thought is, as I've done all this mock

214
00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:30,800
Speaker 3: simulator stuff just to kind of get an idea.

215
00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:32,680
Speaker 2: It's not perfect, but it just gives me an idea.

216
00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:35,240
Speaker 3: And what I kept finding was that when I took

217
00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:39,160
Speaker 3: defensive lineman early in the draft, I realized by the

218
00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:41,280
Speaker 3: time I got to day three, where there was now

219
00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:45,559
Speaker 3: kind of a dearth of interior offensive lineman. I found

220
00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:47,600
Speaker 3: a ton of defensive tackles I liked. I'm like, well,

221
00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:49,439
Speaker 3: wait a second, why don't I get Why don't I

222
00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:52,640
Speaker 3: get the interior offensive lineman first, and then work on

223
00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:55,640
Speaker 3: round three, round four looking at defensive tackles because there's

224
00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:57,800
Speaker 3: still gonna be some there. There's gonna be a ton

225
00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:01,000
Speaker 3: of good ones there. Now, if there are particular ones,

226
00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:03,360
Speaker 3: like a Kenneth Grant I love, maybe a Tiler Williams,

227
00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:05,800
Speaker 3: maybe I do that, But I just think you can

228
00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:08,439
Speaker 3: get a really good I think you get a really

229
00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:11,480
Speaker 3: good defensive line prospect a little bit later in the draft.

230
00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:12,920
Speaker 2: And I always say this, do.

231
00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:15,440
Speaker 3: I want Do I want the number one or number

232
00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:19,320
Speaker 3: two interior offensive lineman and defensive lineman number nine or ten,

233
00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:24,240
Speaker 3: Versus having defensive lineman number one or two and having

234
00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:29,440
Speaker 3: interior offensive lineman number three who really is not anywhere

235
00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:31,480
Speaker 3: near as good as a defensive tackle who's eighth or

236
00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:33,920
Speaker 3: ninth on a list. I would want the really good

237
00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:38,000
Speaker 3: interior offensive lineman and take my chances with interior defensive

238
00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:39,960
Speaker 3: lineman that's a little bit down the list, because that

239
00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:43,840
Speaker 3: dude is gonna be a player, the interier offensive lineman

240
00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:48,200
Speaker 3: I get in round four. It's gonna be dicey like man.

241
00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:52,199
Speaker 3: There's just not There's not much. So it's gonna be

242
00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:55,360
Speaker 3: interesting how this whole draft thing pans out. But you

243
00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:58,080
Speaker 3: talked about Kenny Green and being moved, So Kenyan Green

244
00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:02,120
Speaker 3: off the Philly CJ. Garters. It comes in Lake and Tomlinson.

245
00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:05,000
Speaker 3: Yeah all right, So let's talk about that Pro Bowl

246
00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:09,079
Speaker 3: guard with the Niners. Right, he was acquired today today.

247
00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:12,480
Speaker 3: Now you can feel the team up front.

248
00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:14,600
Speaker 2: You can do it. You can feel an offensive line

249
00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:16,880
Speaker 2: do it. This is all right.

250
00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:20,280
Speaker 1: They called the Texans. You know what, we gotta play Sunday.

251
00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:22,040
Speaker 1: I just found this out about my flag football team.

252
00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:23,040
Speaker 2: Sunday.

253
00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:25,880
Speaker 1: We're playing Sunday. I didn't even playing Sunday. So the

254
00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:30,040
Speaker 1: Texans have to play Sunday. So Nick Demico, Nick Careley,

255
00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:32,600
Speaker 1: they get together, Povich, they all sit down and say,

256
00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:34,800
Speaker 1: what's the offensive what's the offensive line. It's Titus Howard

257
00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:39,240
Speaker 1: and left tackle, Lake Fisher, right tackle at center. I'm

258
00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:41,920
Speaker 1: gonna go Patterson because I gotta play Sunday. Yeah, so

259
00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:46,040
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go Juice Scruggs at right guard and at

260
00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:48,880
Speaker 1: left guard. I'll go Lake and Tomlinson, or I'll flip

261
00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:51,679
Speaker 1: those two guys. But I just acquired Laken Tomlinson. You

262
00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:53,760
Speaker 1: tell me you said it out loud. You said it

263
00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:55,960
Speaker 1: out loud. How do you feel about it? I mean,

264
00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:57,880
Speaker 1: if I gotta play Sunday, I feel okay. But I

265
00:12:57,920 --> 00:13:01,360
Speaker 1: know more is coming and no draft. I know, probably

266
00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:05,120
Speaker 1: another free agent acquisition or possibly two. Now if Laken

267
00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:09,960
Speaker 1: Tomlinson doesn't move the needle and lead sportscentter, I get it. Yeah, however,

268
00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:13,040
Speaker 1: for this team, he could be a big plus. You

269
00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:15,319
Speaker 1: tell me what they're getting in Laken Tomlins.

270
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:18,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, after, well after we agreed to terms.

271
00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:21,880
Speaker 3: Again, signings won't become official until the past physical physicals

272
00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:23,400
Speaker 3: can't happen till the start of the new league year.

273
00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:26,640
Speaker 3: That happens at three o'clock tomorrow. So the Tunsoil and

274
00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:29,280
Speaker 3: the Kenyan Green trades will become official tomorrow.

275
00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:30,000
Speaker 2: Alright.

276
00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:33,760
Speaker 3: So that said, I ended up watching Thomlinson today, and

277
00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:39,640
Speaker 3: I mean great body, like put together, very well, strong, sturdy.

278
00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:42,760
Speaker 3: The one thing that I saw that I thought he

279
00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:45,880
Speaker 3: did pretty well in the game. I watched the Vikings

280
00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:51,400
Speaker 3: game and ironically it was Sam Donald against the Seahawks. Anyways,

281
00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:54,360
Speaker 3: I didn't watch that part of it. But Tomlinson handled

282
00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:58,000
Speaker 3: stunts very well. That was something we couldn't do to

283
00:13:58,080 --> 00:14:00,200
Speaker 3: save our lives for the longest time. This year, he

284
00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:04,000
Speaker 3: handled stunts very very well. Now got beat a couple

285
00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:06,960
Speaker 3: of times, can be a little a little stiff, you know,

286
00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:08,240
Speaker 3: trying to handle some moves.

287
00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:10,479
Speaker 2: But he handled the stunts.

288
00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:13,640
Speaker 3: Really well, kept his eyes where they needed to be,

289
00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:15,920
Speaker 3: and that's and work together with his tackle.

290
00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:17,400
Speaker 2: Sometimes he worked together with the center.

291
00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:21,840
Speaker 3: I thought as I watched it, the more I was like, okay,

292
00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:24,560
Speaker 3: because you know when he was with the Niners, I

293
00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:26,200
Speaker 3: was you know, he started off with the Lions.

294
00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:28,960
Speaker 2: It did not go well. He was traded after two years.

295
00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:33,480
Speaker 3: So then he goes out to San Francisco, kind of

296
00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:36,160
Speaker 3: finds his way playing guard for San Francisco. And then

297
00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:39,560
Speaker 3: because he had had some success with San Francisco, he

298
00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:43,440
Speaker 3: then takes money in a free agency which should capitalize

299
00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:45,280
Speaker 3: on it, went to the Jets. We know the Jets

300
00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:47,120
Speaker 3: were a mess. You know, he went to the Seahawks.

301
00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:47,640
Speaker 2: Last year.

302
00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:49,600
Speaker 3: I thought he did some good things with the Seahawks

303
00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:53,840
Speaker 3: last year. I still think he's got some good football ahead.

304
00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:55,280
Speaker 3: And like you said, if you got to play today,

305
00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:57,640
Speaker 3: I would feel very good about Laken Tomlinson there.

306
00:14:57,880 --> 00:15:00,560
Speaker 2: I just have a good feeling about him, the football character,

307
00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:02,680
Speaker 2: how hard he plays.

308
00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:05,280
Speaker 3: You know, he's got some athleticism, like watching him get

309
00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:06,440
Speaker 3: up to the second level.

310
00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:08,600
Speaker 2: In his own game, like whoa, he can move. So

311
00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:10,360
Speaker 2: I like all of that.

312
00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:12,560
Speaker 3: And when you think about some of the things that

313
00:15:12,640 --> 00:15:15,080
Speaker 3: I think that ailed the offensive line last year, stunts

314
00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:18,400
Speaker 3: in particular, movement, being in shape.

315
00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:20,720
Speaker 2: I just didn't think they were in shape last year.

316
00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:23,320
Speaker 3: So you start with Tomlinson, You look at him and go, okay,

317
00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:26,080
Speaker 3: that's that's a stout dude. You could see it on film,

318
00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:29,840
Speaker 3: like just he's put together, not like alignment, more like

319
00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:32,200
Speaker 3: a linebacker, like a big linebacker. But he's three hundred

320
00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:35,360
Speaker 3: and twenty pounds, so he's gonna he's gonna bring a

321
00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:36,960
Speaker 3: little something to that line that I like. He didn't

322
00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:39,120
Speaker 3: break the bank for him. It's a one year, like

323
00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:41,480
Speaker 3: four and a half five million dollars deal. It's not

324
00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:43,440
Speaker 3: much in grand scheme of things, which I know can

325
00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:46,520
Speaker 3: worry some people. Well wait a second, Will Fryes got

326
00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:50,640
Speaker 3: X from the Vikings. We only paid this for Tomlinson.

327
00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:52,720
Speaker 3: That means that Fries is that much better than Thomlinson.

328
00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:55,720
Speaker 3: Not quite, let's not let's not go to that that level.

329
00:15:56,640 --> 00:15:57,880
Speaker 3: But am I gonna sit here and tell you it's

330
00:15:57,920 --> 00:16:01,040
Speaker 3: Quentin Nelson. No, But I think it's a guy that

331
00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:04,120
Speaker 3: can work well. He knows to Miko, or should know

332
00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:07,200
Speaker 3: him from the years in San Francisco, So he has

333
00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:09,520
Speaker 3: some familiarity with the Miko and I think that helps.

334
00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:13,520
Speaker 3: And more importantly, Demko has got experience with him. He's

335
00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:16,160
Speaker 3: gonna know the Miko is gonna know is that a

336
00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:21,320
Speaker 3: swarmy dude or not? And when they're resetting, you could say,

337
00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:24,120
Speaker 3: blowing this whole thing up. It's not as if he's

338
00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:27,520
Speaker 3: gonna bring back in guys that he thought were maybe

339
00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:29,440
Speaker 3: part of the swarm problem. He's gonna bring in guys

340
00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:32,840
Speaker 3: that he knows, without a shadow of a doubt, are

341
00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:35,440
Speaker 3: gonna be not only ask kickers, but they're gonna get

342
00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:38,280
Speaker 3: in that meeting room and they're gonna start thinking like

343
00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:40,760
Speaker 3: the unit that they need to be. And I think

344
00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:44,680
Speaker 3: Seth said it said it best. I can't remember if

345
00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:46,360
Speaker 3: he uses term for somebody else. I was talking to

346
00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:50,120
Speaker 3: talked about glass eaters. I like that term glass eater

347
00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:51,360
Speaker 3: like that. We can't remember who that was.

348
00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:51,960
Speaker 2: Campbell.

349
00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:55,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, in a sense. Yeah, and and look, that's what

350
00:16:55,240 --> 00:16:56,360
Speaker 1: you want. You want that mentality.

351
00:16:56,360 --> 00:16:57,560
Speaker 2: You want you want that mentality.

352
00:16:57,560 --> 00:17:00,800
Speaker 3: And you when when you and I talk, people ask us,

353
00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:04,159
Speaker 3: they say, what's the best offensive line the Texans have

354
00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:04,680
Speaker 3: ever had?

355
00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:08,080
Speaker 2: What's the best one I've ever had? Twenty twenty twelve?

356
00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:10,760
Speaker 3: And I think the dude you had up there. Yeah,

357
00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:14,560
Speaker 3: the guys that just they would rip your arm off

358
00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:16,200
Speaker 3: to get air in five yards.

359
00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:19,760
Speaker 1: They also got along. It was a group that was

360
00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:22,960
Speaker 1: so cohesive. They were tight. They were the five fingers

361
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:25,040
Speaker 1: in a glove. We talked about this a bit last night.

362
00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:28,600
Speaker 1: They played together so well, that's what you're looking for,

363
00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:31,399
Speaker 1: you look at to create that. We talked about it

364
00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:34,120
Speaker 1: this season. Rod Wright Nate Oli is now the old

365
00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:37,399
Speaker 1: line coach in Atlanta. They coached this D line and

366
00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:39,760
Speaker 1: it felt like an offensive line. It felt like they

367
00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:40,520
Speaker 1: were that tight.

368
00:17:40,600 --> 00:17:41,040
Speaker 2: That's right.

369
00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:44,199
Speaker 1: The D line usually isn't like that, right. I mean

370
00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:48,120
Speaker 1: it can be, but usually that mentality lives in your

371
00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:51,879
Speaker 1: offensive lines room and in your D line room. It

372
00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:54,520
Speaker 1: might be there, but It almost doesn't even have to

373
00:17:54,560 --> 00:17:56,600
Speaker 1: be there as much as it has to be there

374
00:17:56,720 --> 00:17:59,080
Speaker 1: in your old line room to be a successful offensive

375
00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:02,760
Speaker 1: line by line obviously their exceptions. So they want to

376
00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:05,240
Speaker 1: create that. They've been talking about it. These are the

377
00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:07,480
Speaker 1: kind of guys we want in there. They're more moves

378
00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:09,880
Speaker 1: to be made, folks. I mean we saw Kenyon Green

379
00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:11,800
Speaker 1: go today. That was a big one. Think about this.

380
00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:15,080
Speaker 1: What's your starting line on opening day against the Colts?

381
00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:15,560
Speaker 4: Oh?

382
00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:20,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, where you're about to go last year, Laramie, Kenyon, Juice,

383
00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:22,400
Speaker 3: Shack Titus.

384
00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:25,680
Speaker 2: Right, So three guys are gone. Three guys today you.

385
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:28,480
Speaker 1: Voluntarily It's not like, oh they hit free agency and

386
00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:29,720
Speaker 1: hit the market, they're gone.

387
00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:33,160
Speaker 2: You voluntarily traded two of them, released one.

388
00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:37,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, and look, different contracts, different factors, different situations, each

389
00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:40,760
Speaker 1: particular one. But that's three starters from opening day, a

390
00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:43,040
Speaker 1: victory over the Colts where you ran the ball. Okay,

391
00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:45,680
Speaker 1: against the Colts, you ran out the clock late, remember that.

392
00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:49,840
Speaker 1: But there's a higher level to achieve, and they blew

393
00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:52,040
Speaker 1: it up and they're starting. That's blown up your line

394
00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:54,679
Speaker 1: right there. Three Yeah, that's blowing it up. They walked

395
00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:56,280
Speaker 1: in and just demoed.

396
00:18:56,480 --> 00:18:59,879
Speaker 3: Yeah, they were like a ship on fixer uppers and

397
00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:04,000
Speaker 3: just who we're taking it all down and it's it's

398
00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:07,280
Speaker 3: it's been interesting to watch Nick and Demico build this

399
00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:12,120
Speaker 3: team because there is no woosy footing around like they're

400
00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:15,080
Speaker 3: not half step in. They are like, we got a

401
00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:17,760
Speaker 3: problem with the offensive line, all right, let's go, we

402
00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:20,199
Speaker 3: got we got it. We need a receiver, all right,

403
00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:21,119
Speaker 3: it's trade for Diggs.

404
00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:21,560
Speaker 2: Yeah.

405
00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:24,879
Speaker 1: They want the standard to be super Bowl, right, not

406
00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:27,679
Speaker 1: win the division, which is great. I mean that you

407
00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:30,360
Speaker 1: want that to be your basic foundation standard. You gotta

408
00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:32,600
Speaker 1: win this division every year. I'll stand on a table

409
00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:36,240
Speaker 1: and say that. But their aspirations are championship and in

410
00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:38,960
Speaker 1: order to do that, you gotta break eggs to make

411
00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:41,399
Speaker 1: the omelet. That's what they're doing here. Does it work?

412
00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:44,560
Speaker 1: Stay tuned, we'll all be watching together. And we've got

413
00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:47,520
Speaker 1: the programming right here on Sports Radio six to ten

414
00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:51,920
Speaker 1: with Texans Radio all year long. So the nasty has

415
00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:54,360
Speaker 1: to be there for the old line, the defense, and

416
00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:57,760
Speaker 1: to make the point, to emphasize it even more, they

417
00:19:57,840 --> 00:19:59,439
Speaker 1: got even nastier on defense.

418
00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:03,280
Speaker 2: They've got some nasty. Last year, you know, they had guys.

419
00:20:03,119 --> 00:20:06,840
Speaker 1: Who would eat glass like you say, but hey, we

420
00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:09,879
Speaker 1: need more of that. Let's get CJ. Gardner Johnson in

421
00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:13,760
Speaker 1: here a lot with disease along with Denico Autry. These

422
00:20:13,760 --> 00:20:18,560
Speaker 1: are guys who are gonna hurt people in legal NFL

423
00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:19,520
Speaker 1: style way away.

424
00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:20,919
Speaker 2: I mean, Mark, think about it.

425
00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:24,000
Speaker 3: On the d line, they added Darryl Taylor on the outside,

426
00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:28,040
Speaker 3: a really young and up and coming rusher on the

427
00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:30,880
Speaker 3: outside to go with Daniel and Will, which you already had,

428
00:20:30,920 --> 00:20:35,560
Speaker 3: and Denico Autry. You bring Barnett, you bring back and Barnett.

429
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:40,919
Speaker 3: Your top four rushers are Darryl Taylor, Derek Barnett, behind

430
00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:42,120
Speaker 3: Will Anderson, Denil Hunter.

431
00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:44,600
Speaker 2: And that it doesn't even mentioned Dylan.

432
00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:47,920
Speaker 3: Horton, who they have for yeah, who is going into

433
00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:52,360
Speaker 3: a year when he can not beat cancer, he can

434
00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:55,080
Speaker 3: actually go get his body right for a football season.

435
00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:58,199
Speaker 3: So you throw Dylan Horton into the mix. On the

436
00:20:58,240 --> 00:21:02,840
Speaker 3: defensive line, Bring back Marrio Edwards. You re signed highness,

437
00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:05,879
Speaker 3: so you bring back those two linebackers.

438
00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:07,840
Speaker 2: I mean they're gonna have to figure out.

439
00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:10,879
Speaker 1: You already got the Niko to play outside. Inside, you

440
00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:13,560
Speaker 1: got Tim Settle, you got Sheldon Rankins.

441
00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:16,520
Speaker 2: And Rankins Rankets, so you're loaded up front.

442
00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:18,960
Speaker 1: So that's why I said, good luck trying to crack

443
00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:21,359
Speaker 1: the starting lineup. Now, starting lineup, we all know what

444
00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:23,119
Speaker 1: that means. Yeah, you're playing two snaps, you're out of

445
00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:25,960
Speaker 1: the game, third and long, we're brushing, we're rotating, you're

446
00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:28,280
Speaker 1: playing half the snaps roughly, whatever it turns out to

447
00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:31,760
Speaker 1: be because game situations dictate that. But let's do linebacker now,

448
00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:35,960
Speaker 1: Christian Harris, Aziz al Shire and Henry Toatoa the team's

449
00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:37,240
Speaker 1: leading tackler last year.

450
00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:38,600
Speaker 2: You haven't even hit the draft yet.

451
00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:42,520
Speaker 1: Jake Hansen comes back, good solid player for you, demon

452
00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:47,040
Speaker 1: will replace the Neville Hewitt factor. Maybe Nevill's back after all,

453
00:21:47,119 --> 00:21:50,199
Speaker 1: after all this, and you never know. Secondary, we were

454
00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:53,760
Speaker 1: talking about it earlier. You got elite on the edges

455
00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:57,359
Speaker 1: on the corners with Kamari and Derek Stingley Junior. And

456
00:21:57,400 --> 00:22:00,280
Speaker 1: then we talked about safety with CJ. Gardner Johnson going two.

457
00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:05,639
Speaker 1: CJ's just it's gonna drive me nuts, But yeah, cjfensive offensive, CJ. Yeah,

458
00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:07,760
Speaker 1: there's yeah, right right, we're gonna have to work it

459
00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:10,400
Speaker 1: out like that. And Petree and Jimmy Ward and it

460
00:22:10,520 --> 00:22:13,919
Speaker 1: goes on and I MJ. Stewart is back Kalin Bullock,

461
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:19,119
Speaker 1: who's question got options galore now, injuries factory and I

462
00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:21,160
Speaker 1: get it all that, But where we sit right now,

463
00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:24,600
Speaker 1: this is we're sitting here day two of free agency.

464
00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:26,520
Speaker 2: And you're stacked on defense.

465
00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:29,000
Speaker 3: So let me ask you this right now, there are

466
00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:32,879
Speaker 3: six picks in the draft right now. What if the

467
00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:35,800
Speaker 3: Texans spent all six picks offensive on the offense?

468
00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:39,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, based on all this, but you know what, don't

469
00:22:39,240 --> 00:22:41,960
Speaker 1: fall into Well, they're still improving things because you know CJ.

470
00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:45,720
Speaker 1: Gardner Johnson isn't is definitely an upgrade to me and

471
00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:48,520
Speaker 1: and an infusion, Yeah, is a better way to put it.

472
00:22:48,560 --> 00:22:52,320
Speaker 1: Maybe for this particular context. I know where you're going,

473
00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:54,439
Speaker 1: but you still got to develop. I mean, I wouldn't

474
00:22:54,440 --> 00:22:55,920
Speaker 1: you guys young buck.

475
00:22:55,840 --> 00:22:59,320
Speaker 4: You still gotta follow your board and you're still It's

476
00:22:59,320 --> 00:23:02,720
Speaker 4: funny in the end, you got to replace guys, you like,

477
00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:05,760
Speaker 4: we're going into years three and four, not replace them,

478
00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:08,879
Speaker 4: but have possibilities to replace them already. You have to

479
00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:13,080
Speaker 4: completely build through that draft constantly.

480
00:23:13,359 --> 00:23:16,600
Speaker 3: What did the Colts say after the year, we didn't

481
00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:22,040
Speaker 3: breed enough competition on our roster, guys got comfortable. I

482
00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:24,560
Speaker 3: think that was probably an issue I think it was

483
00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:26,760
Speaker 3: probably an issue. There are a few other issues, like

484
00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:28,480
Speaker 3: guys with podcasts and stuff like that.

485
00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:30,880
Speaker 2: You know, by the way, the quarterback was not that good.

486
00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:31,640
Speaker 2: We'll talk about that.

487
00:23:31,560 --> 00:23:35,959
Speaker 3: A little, Las twelve, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom.

488
00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:41,639
Speaker 3: But I think the level of competition that you create

489
00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:44,840
Speaker 3: in your building, like, to me, that's the epitome of

490
00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:48,760
Speaker 3: swarm that you create competition Like, Okay Lake and Tomlinson,

491
00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:52,879
Speaker 3: you just we brought you over here, and on March eleventh,

492
00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:55,760
Speaker 3: it looks like you're the rock solid right or left guard.

493
00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:57,680
Speaker 3: You pick your position, and then all of a sudden,

494
00:23:57,680 --> 00:23:59,359
Speaker 3: you go in the draft and you get grayz Abele

495
00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:02,280
Speaker 3: and you get Jared Wilson, the center from Georgia, And

496
00:24:02,280 --> 00:24:05,680
Speaker 3: now you're like kind of going, maybe it's not yah

497
00:24:05,840 --> 00:24:07,560
Speaker 3: a fit of complete that you're gonna start.

498
00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:10,000
Speaker 2: Now you got to compete for that job.

499
00:24:10,280 --> 00:24:14,520
Speaker 3: And I know the summer of twenty twenty three, the

500
00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:18,040
Speaker 3: biggest thing was why will Demico not name CJ. Stroud

501
00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:20,560
Speaker 3: the quarterback? Why will he not name him? And Carolina

502
00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:23,040
Speaker 3: they did, they handed him the job. They one, why

503
00:24:23,040 --> 00:24:25,879
Speaker 3: will they not? And Demiko said, because they're gonna compete

504
00:24:25,880 --> 00:24:28,200
Speaker 3: for it, Yeah, and what did it do? It brought

505
00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:30,399
Speaker 3: the level of play of Davis Mills up for sure,

506
00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:33,720
Speaker 3: It brought the play of CJ Stroud up. And eventually, yes,

507
00:24:33,760 --> 00:24:37,239
Speaker 3: he was gonna go to CJ. But Demko said, I'm

508
00:24:37,280 --> 00:24:39,200
Speaker 3: gonna make him compete. Well, ultimately he did.

509
00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:41,440
Speaker 2: And that's what this whole thing about swarm has gotta

510
00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:42,480
Speaker 2: be about. You come into.

511
00:24:42,280 --> 00:24:45,119
Speaker 1: Compete, competition, Yes, what was the best thing for Bryce

512
00:24:45,160 --> 00:24:47,960
Speaker 1: Young to compete? Andy Dalton takes the job, then he

513
00:24:47,960 --> 00:24:50,080
Speaker 1: gets a car accident. I get it, But sitting for

514
00:24:50,119 --> 00:24:54,080
Speaker 1: a while, being in a competition, being able to hold

515
00:24:54,119 --> 00:24:56,800
Speaker 1: the job and keep Dalton away once Dalton gets healthy.

516
00:24:57,040 --> 00:24:59,639
Speaker 1: That was huge for Bryce Young because he was handed

517
00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:01,879
Speaker 1: the job. Now he's got to compete for his job,

518
00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:05,119
Speaker 1: and the narrative changes, and they're making acquisitions that make

519
00:25:05,160 --> 00:25:07,600
Speaker 1: them feel better. But who cares about them? You know

520
00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:10,119
Speaker 1: what I do care about the rest of the division,

521
00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:11,320
Speaker 1: the Horseshoe.

522
00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:12,720
Speaker 2: What did they do today?

523
00:25:13,119 --> 00:25:16,199
Speaker 1: How did we react to their big, huge move of

524
00:25:16,240 --> 00:25:19,560
Speaker 1: the day. And are there any quarterbacks in Tennessee there's

525
00:25:19,560 --> 00:25:23,280
Speaker 1: at least one. We'll examine that situation and in the

526
00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:25,439
Speaker 1: context of how the Texans are going to work it

527
00:25:25,560 --> 00:25:28,440
Speaker 1: with the rest of the division and the AFC as well.

528
00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:30,560
Speaker 2: It's Texans Radio. Oh, let's do it.

529
00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:33,159
Speaker 1: Mark Vandermere and John Harris in the Sports Radio six

530
00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:35,399
Speaker 1: to ten studios where we have moved the Hundai Texans

531
00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:38,280
Speaker 1: Radio studio for the first few days of free agency

532
00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:41,800
Speaker 1: in the National Football League, as the Texans big move

533
00:25:41,800 --> 00:25:45,480
Speaker 1: of the day, CJ. Gardner Johnson reportedly acquired in a

534
00:25:45,520 --> 00:25:49,720
Speaker 1: trade for Kenyan Green and with the Philadelphia Eagles and

535
00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:52,639
Speaker 1: a pickswap twenty twenty six, a fifth for a sixth,

536
00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:55,720
Speaker 1: Texans getting the sixth. So that's twenty twenty six. Don't

537
00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:58,240
Speaker 1: worry about that. Don't worry about a fifth and a

538
00:25:58,359 --> 00:26:02,280
Speaker 1: sixth in twenty twenty six. Nickel do something with that.

539
00:26:03,080 --> 00:26:06,199
Speaker 1: I mean, it's so hard to keep track of his

540
00:26:06,480 --> 00:26:09,800
Speaker 1: we have on Houston Texans dot com. And we can't

541
00:26:09,840 --> 00:26:12,560
Speaker 1: do this yet because these trades aren't official, right, but

542
00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:15,919
Speaker 1: we'll take We'll have a story up. These are the

543
00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:19,520
Speaker 1: picks we have, and that thing is the most red

544
00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:22,040
Speaker 1: story you have to even though the first one came

545
00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:25,040
Speaker 1: out in April, right after the draft or May whatever,

546
00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:27,760
Speaker 1: because these are the picks for the twenty twenty five

547
00:26:27,880 --> 00:26:32,560
Speaker 1: draft because everyone that hits the SEO the search engines

548
00:26:33,400 --> 00:26:36,440
Speaker 1: I mean Google, okay, because you don't know if the

549
00:26:36,600 --> 00:26:41,800
Speaker 1: second biggest search engine in the world YouTube, Oh, and

550
00:26:41,840 --> 00:26:44,119
Speaker 1: they own it, so they own the top two. How

551
00:26:44,119 --> 00:26:47,240
Speaker 1: about that? Business is good with the big tech companies usually.

552
00:26:47,400 --> 00:26:51,920
Speaker 1: All right, let's do this. Texans winning the division paramount,

553
00:26:52,040 --> 00:26:54,359
Speaker 1: the Colts still the closest competition.

554
00:26:54,440 --> 00:26:57,320
Speaker 2: Is that what we're thinking? They made the big move today,

555
00:26:57,880 --> 00:27:00,000
Speaker 2: Anthony Richardson. They need competit.

556
00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:04,880
Speaker 1: Addition, they're gonna go with Daniel Jones as the competition

557
00:27:05,359 --> 00:27:09,960
Speaker 1: to Anthony Richardson, which I think actually makes sense on paper.

558
00:27:10,520 --> 00:27:12,399
Speaker 1: You weren't gonna bring in a big name guy to

559
00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:14,679
Speaker 1: be quote competition. You're bringing a big name guy and

560
00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:18,880
Speaker 1: I'll put Sam Darnold in the big name guy arena

561
00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:20,680
Speaker 1: for this year, for this year.

562
00:27:21,080 --> 00:27:21,960
Speaker 2: Is he a big name guy?

563
00:27:22,040 --> 00:27:22,080
Speaker 4: No?

564
00:27:22,240 --> 00:27:23,840
Speaker 1: But right now he kind of is because he's the

565
00:27:23,840 --> 00:27:27,480
Speaker 1: top free agent quarterback on the market. With Rogers, who's better.

566
00:27:27,800 --> 00:27:32,679
Speaker 1: Darnald had the better year, So Donald no, Seattle Rogers no,

567
00:27:32,840 --> 00:27:34,960
Speaker 1: because they're going with Daniel Jones. If they had brought

568
00:27:34,960 --> 00:27:37,879
Speaker 1: in Rogers, Rogers has to start. But Daniel Jones will

569
00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:44,480
Speaker 1: battle with Richardson thoughts HM, I mean, who's starting day

570
00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:47,560
Speaker 1: one for them? If Richardson is healthy, he Richardson beats

571
00:27:47,640 --> 00:27:50,800
Speaker 1: him out, Yeah, because he looks better than these preseason games.

572
00:27:50,840 --> 00:27:52,200
Speaker 1: He's running around making plays.

573
00:27:52,280 --> 00:27:54,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, they I mean if they Taylor of the offense.

574
00:27:54,520 --> 00:27:56,399
Speaker 3: Here's the thing about Daniel Jones. Daniel Jones is a

575
00:27:56,400 --> 00:27:57,000
Speaker 3: really good runner.

576
00:27:57,040 --> 00:27:57,439
Speaker 2: He can run.

577
00:27:57,560 --> 00:27:59,080
Speaker 3: I went back and I was looking at my twenty

578
00:27:59,119 --> 00:28:01,600
Speaker 3: nineteen because they were guys that signed in the twenty

579
00:28:01,640 --> 00:28:03,639
Speaker 3: nineteen draft class. I happened to stumble on Jones and

580
00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:06,159
Speaker 3: I remember I had him he went I think he

581
00:28:06,240 --> 00:28:09,159
Speaker 3: was number six. I had him in the forties, and

582
00:28:09,240 --> 00:28:11,399
Speaker 3: I remember saying about him like, I don't really love

583
00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:14,160
Speaker 3: him as a quarterback, but he's tough and he can run.

584
00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:16,520
Speaker 3: Like I watched the game against Clemson where he got

585
00:28:16,520 --> 00:28:19,560
Speaker 3: the absolute hell beat out of him, and he kept

586
00:28:19,920 --> 00:28:23,240
Speaker 3: getting up, kept getting up. So what I did is

587
00:28:23,280 --> 00:28:25,880
Speaker 3: I pulled up the schedule. Now we don't know when

588
00:28:26,160 --> 00:28:28,320
Speaker 3: we're playing these teams, so we had no idea, but

589
00:28:28,359 --> 00:28:30,520
Speaker 3: I wanted to. I was thinking about which quarterbacks are

590
00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:34,640
Speaker 3: we gonna face? Yep, and so we're gonna face Lamar

591
00:28:34,720 --> 00:28:42,160
Speaker 3: Jackson obviously Colts, I say Richardson. So I say Richardson, Jaguars, Trevor, Titans,

592
00:28:42,320 --> 00:28:51,280
Speaker 3: probably cam Ward, probably Bo, Nicks, Raiders, Gino, Cardinals, Kyler,

593
00:28:51,720 --> 00:28:56,440
Speaker 3: forty nine, Ers, Perty, Josh Allen, the Bills, Baker again,

594
00:28:56,840 --> 00:28:59,560
Speaker 3: you have no idea what the Colts Richardson, I guess

595
00:28:59,680 --> 00:29:06,200
Speaker 3: trav her Mahomes, Herbert, Stafford, Darnold, and then probably cam Ward.

596
00:29:06,040 --> 00:29:07,520
Speaker 2: Again, Gosh, I don't like any of this.

597
00:29:07,640 --> 00:29:11,360
Speaker 3: You know what, Now we've played a tougher quarterback schedule

598
00:29:11,400 --> 00:29:12,400
Speaker 3: that we have, But.

599
00:29:12,320 --> 00:29:16,280
Speaker 1: These guys are solid. Gino in solid Vegas looks like

600
00:29:16,320 --> 00:29:19,560
Speaker 1: a pretty solid move for that. It's not great, but

601
00:29:19,640 --> 00:29:22,080
Speaker 1: Gino played pretty well for Seattle. Gino surprised a lot

602
00:29:22,080 --> 00:29:22,360
Speaker 1: of people.

603
00:29:22,840 --> 00:29:25,880
Speaker 3: As I told you, I watched Laken Tomlinson today, so

604
00:29:25,920 --> 00:29:26,520
Speaker 3: you saw Geno.

605
00:29:26,600 --> 00:29:30,960
Speaker 2: So I was watching Gino Gino. He dotted some throws and.

606
00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:33,280
Speaker 3: You go back and I saw somebody tweeting about this

607
00:29:33,280 --> 00:29:35,440
Speaker 3: and maybe me and come, she's a big Seattle Seahawks fan,

608
00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:38,840
Speaker 3: and she was talking about how Gino had one of

609
00:29:38,840 --> 00:29:41,160
Speaker 3: the one of the best, if not the best accuracy

610
00:29:41,240 --> 00:29:45,040
Speaker 3: numbers in the league and watching him throw the football

611
00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:49,600
Speaker 3: dang like Wow, that's really good. Now will you get

612
00:29:49,640 --> 00:29:52,240
Speaker 3: time to throw in Las Vegas? Is a Las Vegas

613
00:29:52,280 --> 00:29:55,080
Speaker 3: offensive line gonna protect him? You know, we'll see. But

614
00:29:55,600 --> 00:29:57,160
Speaker 3: you know, Pete believes in him. I think it's a

615
00:29:57,200 --> 00:29:58,960
Speaker 3: good spot. They're trying to work out a long term deal.

616
00:29:59,440 --> 00:30:02,080
Speaker 3: But guys are solid. But here's the thing that you know,

617
00:30:02,120 --> 00:30:04,640
Speaker 3: if you're gonna stay as a top team in the division,

618
00:30:04,720 --> 00:30:08,640
Speaker 3: what does that mean you get every year? Josh Patrick maar,

619
00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:10,840
Speaker 3: you get those three every year, and.

620
00:30:10,720 --> 00:30:12,760
Speaker 1: We get Hopkins every year because he was with the Chiefs.

621
00:30:12,800 --> 00:30:14,840
Speaker 1: Now he's with the Ravens, So that's us.

622
00:30:14,920 --> 00:30:16,760
Speaker 2: That was the big news earlier in the show.

623
00:30:17,760 --> 00:30:23,120
Speaker 1: Giants Daniel Jones when he was there. Obviously they abandoned

624
00:30:23,120 --> 00:30:26,280
Speaker 1: ship on him during the year this year, but even

625
00:30:26,960 --> 00:30:31,320
Speaker 1: during this season, eight touchdown, seven picks, sixty three percent

626
00:30:31,360 --> 00:30:36,040
Speaker 1: completion rate. Those numbers are not impressive, no, but sixty

627
00:30:36,080 --> 00:30:39,440
Speaker 1: three percent. If Richardson was completing sixty three percent of

628
00:30:39,440 --> 00:30:41,479
Speaker 1: his past, my god, they'd throw a parade for him.

629
00:30:41,480 --> 00:30:43,560
Speaker 1: They would throw a parade on Market Street or whatever

630
00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:46,600
Speaker 1: the big street is in Indy. The two years prior

631
00:30:46,600 --> 00:30:48,280
Speaker 1: to that, twenty twenty two, which was a great year,

632
00:30:48,320 --> 00:30:50,600
Speaker 1: for Jones and the Giants and twenty twenty three.

633
00:30:51,320 --> 00:30:55,600
Speaker 2: Sixty seven percent, sixty seven percent? How about that? Yeah?

634
00:30:55,680 --> 00:30:58,760
Speaker 2: About that? Well, so think about it? Is the last

635
00:30:58,840 --> 00:31:00,400
Speaker 2: the only time we faced him. What do you do

636
00:31:00,440 --> 00:31:02,520
Speaker 2: to us? Killed us? He beat us. He made a

637
00:31:02,520 --> 00:31:03,280
Speaker 2: couple of key throws.

638
00:31:03,280 --> 00:31:06,080
Speaker 3: I remember Jalen Petrie blitzing him and he somehow gets

639
00:31:06,080 --> 00:31:07,360
Speaker 3: off of throw of Darius Slayton.

640
00:31:07,840 --> 00:31:10,240
Speaker 2: And by the way, this was pre Demico defense right.

641
00:31:10,280 --> 00:31:13,080
Speaker 3: Right right on the DL. The Giants have done a

642
00:31:13,120 --> 00:31:16,960
Speaker 3: pretty good job. They signed Shavad holland they re signed Slayton.

643
00:31:17,560 --> 00:31:20,600
Speaker 3: They've done a really nice job. Kind of very quietly.

644
00:31:20,840 --> 00:31:25,360
Speaker 3: Who's the quarterback? That's sixty four million dollar question?

645
00:31:25,520 --> 00:31:28,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's better. Hope it's not your door. But that's

646
00:31:28,520 --> 00:31:29,000
Speaker 2: the problem.

647
00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:30,640
Speaker 3: And you know, when I talk to my budd, John

648
00:31:30,680 --> 00:31:34,800
Speaker 3: Schmolke with the Giants at the Senior Bowl, I said, well,

649
00:31:34,800 --> 00:31:36,600
Speaker 3: would you guys? I said, it doesn't make a who

650
00:31:36,600 --> 00:31:38,560
Speaker 3: lot of sense for you guys to think about going

651
00:31:38,600 --> 00:31:38,880
Speaker 3: to one.

652
00:31:38,960 --> 00:31:40,680
Speaker 1: We were right the next field about the combine. Did

653
00:31:40,680 --> 00:31:41,560
Speaker 1: you not say high? Oh?

654
00:31:41,640 --> 00:31:42,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, we talked.

655
00:31:42,240 --> 00:31:45,480
Speaker 3: We talked a lot actually, and at the Senior Bowl

656
00:31:45,520 --> 00:31:47,400
Speaker 3: he was like, there's no way, we're moving with the three.

657
00:31:47,480 --> 00:31:51,480
Speaker 3: We'll sit there and we'll take whoever one of cam

658
00:31:51,520 --> 00:31:53,880
Speaker 3: Ward Abdul Carter, Travis Hunter will take one of those

659
00:31:53,880 --> 00:31:54,520
Speaker 3: three and be happy.

660
00:31:54,520 --> 00:31:57,520
Speaker 1: Oh no, you the Giants, all right, So let's go

661
00:31:57,600 --> 00:32:00,880
Speaker 1: there in the division, the Titans. Let's go Giants, Titans,

662
00:32:00,920 --> 00:32:04,440
Speaker 1: let's do this draft. If you're not picking up a

663
00:32:04,480 --> 00:32:07,920
Speaker 1: quarterback right here during this week, you better have a

664
00:32:08,040 --> 00:32:11,240
Speaker 1: freaking good plan. Okay, wait for twenty twenty six.

665
00:32:11,960 --> 00:32:12,640
Speaker 2: Better class.

666
00:32:14,120 --> 00:32:17,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, but wait for twenty twenty six. So I'm gonna

667
00:32:17,360 --> 00:32:19,640
Speaker 1: suck and be top five, but I know that's the thing.

668
00:32:19,760 --> 00:32:20,400
Speaker 2: Can't do it.

669
00:32:20,680 --> 00:32:22,640
Speaker 3: Brian Dable and Joe Shane are gonna sit there and go.

670
00:32:22,720 --> 00:32:24,640
Speaker 3: We don't like that because if we go five and

671
00:32:24,680 --> 00:32:25,800
Speaker 3: twelve again, we're fired.

672
00:32:25,840 --> 00:32:27,560
Speaker 2: And that's true. Let me ask you this, and Deon

673
00:32:27,600 --> 00:32:29,080
Speaker 2: Sanders comes in and coaches shador.

674
00:32:29,160 --> 00:32:31,440
Speaker 1: I don't think nic will ever tell us, but the

675
00:32:31,520 --> 00:32:34,800
Speaker 1: Lovey Year Nick Lovey Davis Mills is gonna start look

676
00:32:34,840 --> 00:32:37,720
Speaker 1: pretty good. At the end of the previous year with Kully,

677
00:32:39,120 --> 00:32:42,240
Speaker 1: they I don't want to say easily, but they could

678
00:32:42,240 --> 00:32:44,840
Speaker 1: have won seven games that sure and been out of

679
00:32:44,880 --> 00:32:48,880
Speaker 1: the derby for a starting quarterback. But if Mills plays

680
00:32:48,880 --> 00:32:51,160
Speaker 1: well enough where you're winning seven games, you're okay, we're

681
00:32:51,160 --> 00:32:51,719
Speaker 1: gonna go with Mill.

682
00:32:51,800 --> 00:32:52,760
Speaker 2: You're gonna go with Davis. Yeah.

683
00:32:52,800 --> 00:32:55,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, And maybe Lovey's still there, maybe he's not. Maybe

684
00:32:55,200 --> 00:32:56,000
Speaker 1: you never get to Miko.

685
00:32:56,200 --> 00:32:57,000
Speaker 2: History changes.

686
00:32:57,320 --> 00:33:01,360
Speaker 1: But the plan was not let's torpee this thing and

687
00:33:01,560 --> 00:33:03,320
Speaker 1: sink to the bottom of the ocean and get the

688
00:33:03,320 --> 00:33:05,280
Speaker 1: top one of the top two picks.

689
00:33:05,400 --> 00:33:08,680
Speaker 3: What I what I had said going back there was

690
00:33:09,960 --> 00:33:12,440
Speaker 3: at least you had the Davis Mills option to do

691
00:33:12,520 --> 00:33:15,479
Speaker 3: that here, and it was not. It's already been proven

692
00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:20,200
Speaker 3: that two that twenty twenty two draft right sucked for quarterbacks.

693
00:33:20,680 --> 00:33:21,800
Speaker 2: Is Kenny Pickett? Yeah?

694
00:33:22,080 --> 00:33:25,520
Speaker 3: That that that's what you had now, Kenny Pickett. That's right,

695
00:33:25,840 --> 00:33:31,280
Speaker 3: all right. You could argue that this draft is kind

696
00:33:31,280 --> 00:33:36,400
Speaker 3: of similar, that there's cam Ward and then you know, but.

697
00:33:36,480 --> 00:33:38,920
Speaker 2: He's got cam Warred's gonna go number one. Let's go there.

698
00:33:38,960 --> 00:33:39,760
Speaker 2: I would think he is.

699
00:33:39,840 --> 00:33:42,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, so they think with what Tennessee's doing right now,

700
00:33:42,360 --> 00:33:45,280
Speaker 3: unless somehow Aaron Rodgers didn't about face and said I'm

701
00:33:45,280 --> 00:33:46,080
Speaker 3: going to Tennessee.

702
00:33:46,320 --> 00:33:48,800
Speaker 2: I'll play for a dollar. I just don't think it's

703
00:33:48,800 --> 00:33:50,760
Speaker 2: gonna happen. What other option does he have though? Who

704
00:33:50,840 --> 00:33:55,040
Speaker 2: Rogers Steelers? Oh, that's right, there're talking to him.

705
00:33:55,240 --> 00:33:58,320
Speaker 1: Giants could be one if I'm Rogers, dying to go

706
00:33:58,320 --> 00:34:00,000
Speaker 1: to the Steelers because they're winning team.

707
00:34:00,160 --> 00:34:01,280
Speaker 2: We talked about this yesterday.

708
00:34:01,280 --> 00:34:04,320
Speaker 1: They're a good team and Georgie in each of the

709
00:34:04,400 --> 00:34:06,120
Speaker 1: last two years, I know they didn't win, but they

710
00:34:06,200 --> 00:34:08,360
Speaker 1: went there in a very tough division. They went to

711
00:34:08,400 --> 00:34:10,839
Speaker 1: the playoffs each of the last two years, once with

712
00:34:11,880 --> 00:34:14,160
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson and once with Rudolph.

713
00:34:14,239 --> 00:34:17,719
Speaker 2: At the end when PICKTT melted down, Steelers.

714
00:34:17,560 --> 00:34:22,680
Speaker 3: Giants, Titans, you've got Russell Wilson still out there, Aaron

715
00:34:22,760 --> 00:34:25,520
Speaker 3: Rodgers still out there, and then you got draft pick

716
00:34:25,600 --> 00:34:29,359
Speaker 3: cam Ward. Those those three spots will be filled by

717
00:34:29,360 --> 00:34:30,960
Speaker 3: I believe those three quarterbacks.

718
00:34:31,880 --> 00:34:33,840
Speaker 1: What do you think this is? Like, Peter King? What

719
00:34:33,880 --> 00:34:36,920
Speaker 1: do you think they're thinking in Nashville? Are they thinking,

720
00:34:37,880 --> 00:34:39,880
Speaker 1: screw it? We don't want Aaron Rodgers here this I

721
00:34:39,880 --> 00:34:42,080
Speaker 1: don't want the whole thing going on. This is such

722
00:34:42,120 --> 00:34:43,600
Speaker 1: a band aid and we're not that good a team.

723
00:34:43,800 --> 00:34:46,200
Speaker 3: If I'm drafting, I don't want any part of him. Okay,

724
00:34:46,239 --> 00:34:49,920
Speaker 3: So cam Ward, Yeah, I mean it's got you have

725
00:34:49,920 --> 00:34:50,479
Speaker 3: that number one.

726
00:34:50,400 --> 00:34:52,439
Speaker 1: Pick in the draft, you have a situation. You got

727
00:34:52,440 --> 00:34:53,879
Speaker 1: to roll the dice on cam Ward.

728
00:34:54,200 --> 00:34:57,480
Speaker 3: Paul Karski said later on last night that the Russell

729
00:34:57,480 --> 00:35:01,120
Speaker 3: Wilson and to Nashville, the Tennessee thing that was, there

730
00:35:01,200 --> 00:35:01,920
Speaker 3: was nothing to that.

731
00:35:01,960 --> 00:35:06,600
Speaker 1: What about Russell Wilson? So Rogers to the Steelers. But

732
00:35:06,640 --> 00:35:08,680
Speaker 1: I was also reading if that doesn't work out, maybe

733
00:35:08,760 --> 00:35:12,480
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson comes back. Yeah, Russell Wilson's plan being Pittsburgh.

734
00:35:12,520 --> 00:35:15,200
Speaker 1: They cannot feel good about that. No, they gotta get

735
00:35:15,680 --> 00:35:17,640
Speaker 1: You asked me about Tennessee. What's Tennessee thinking?

736
00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:22,319
Speaker 3: You better be absolutely locked in on cam Ward being

737
00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:24,840
Speaker 3: that guy because I I just for the life of me,

738
00:35:24,880 --> 00:35:25,600
Speaker 3: I can't see.

739
00:35:25,400 --> 00:35:28,920
Speaker 2: Shtore Sanders being there. But whatever, you gotta be locked in.

740
00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:30,520
Speaker 2: Does he drop the way a lot of people think,

741
00:35:30,520 --> 00:35:31,040
Speaker 2: and well.

742
00:35:31,080 --> 00:35:33,120
Speaker 3: Cleveland doesn't take him at two? I think there could

743
00:35:33,120 --> 00:35:35,920
Speaker 3: be some some dropage. Okay, there could be and that

744
00:35:35,960 --> 00:35:40,480
Speaker 3: would be a fascinating draft storyline. Oh yeah, fascinating. Coach

745
00:35:40,560 --> 00:35:43,160
Speaker 3: Prime takes the Twitter after pick number two. These NFL

746
00:35:43,200 --> 00:35:46,520
Speaker 3: teams don't know what they're doing, come out to Colorado

747
00:35:46,520 --> 00:35:49,880
Speaker 3: and play for Coach Prime out Uh, yeah, So I

748
00:35:50,200 --> 00:35:53,440
Speaker 3: I do think I think Cam wore. I think Tennessee

749
00:35:53,520 --> 00:35:57,080
Speaker 3: needs a shot at cam Ward. Cam's exciting, there's there,

750
00:35:57,320 --> 00:35:59,680
Speaker 3: there's fun to his game. And it's not an exciting

751
00:36:00,520 --> 00:36:03,240
Speaker 3: uh like that's the right way of saying it.

752
00:36:03,239 --> 00:36:06,040
Speaker 2: It's not gonna be Will Levis type of exciting, Like you.

753
00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:08,000
Speaker 3: Don't know when the interception is gonna happen, but it's

754
00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:10,239
Speaker 3: gonna happen maybe a couple of them. Cam's gonna throw

755
00:36:10,239 --> 00:36:13,120
Speaker 3: an interception, I promise you that. But Cam's also gonna

756
00:36:13,120 --> 00:36:15,719
Speaker 3: make five throws where you're like, yo, you see that.

757
00:36:16,160 --> 00:36:20,359
Speaker 3: Holy smokes. Now they lost Nick Westbrook Keene Yep, that's

758
00:36:20,360 --> 00:36:22,239
Speaker 3: actually a bigger blow than people think he's going on

759
00:36:22,320 --> 00:36:25,600
Speaker 3: to Miami. So they I mean, I know they got

760
00:36:25,600 --> 00:36:29,200
Speaker 3: Calvin Ridley, but I don't love that receiving core for

761
00:36:29,239 --> 00:36:32,399
Speaker 3: them for their sake, But I think cam Ward makes

762
00:36:32,400 --> 00:36:35,640
Speaker 3: the most sense at one unless and this is and

763
00:36:36,400 --> 00:36:40,760
Speaker 3: who want Whenever something happens where you like you passed

764
00:36:40,760 --> 00:36:43,319
Speaker 3: on something, yeah that you know you should have done,

765
00:36:43,400 --> 00:36:45,040
Speaker 3: the next time it comes up, you're like, oh, I

766
00:36:45,080 --> 00:36:48,359
Speaker 3: am doing that no matter what. That's the way Joe

767
00:36:48,360 --> 00:36:52,239
Speaker 3: Shane's got to feel because Joe Shane, Well, should I

768
00:36:52,239 --> 00:36:54,080
Speaker 3: trade up and go get Jaden out? There's no telling

769
00:36:54,239 --> 00:36:56,640
Speaker 3: that the commanders would have traded right till a lot

770
00:36:56,640 --> 00:36:59,879
Speaker 3: of the giants go up there. But he didn't even

771
00:37:00,239 --> 00:37:03,400
Speaker 3: kind of pursue the opportunity, right, So I would imagine

772
00:37:03,400 --> 00:37:05,600
Speaker 3: he's definitely pursuing the opportunity to go up if they

773
00:37:05,640 --> 00:37:07,040
Speaker 3: absolutely believe in cam Ward.

774
00:37:07,320 --> 00:37:09,239
Speaker 2: Now, if they feel like, get Aaron Rodgers. Here's the

775
00:37:09,239 --> 00:37:09,680
Speaker 2: thing for them.

776
00:37:09,840 --> 00:37:12,680
Speaker 3: If they don't get Aaron Rodgers and they can't get

777
00:37:12,680 --> 00:37:14,680
Speaker 3: a trade done with Tennessee, because it sounds like Tennessee

778
00:37:14,719 --> 00:37:17,480
Speaker 3: is said on cam Ward, what the hell do giants do?

779
00:37:18,200 --> 00:37:21,680
Speaker 2: Tommy DeVito, Tommy coming back? Tommy.

780
00:37:21,800 --> 00:37:24,200
Speaker 1: No, he's not, no way, no, no way. He would

781
00:37:24,239 --> 00:37:26,600
Speaker 1: have to play. He would have hit the gonna go

782
00:37:26,680 --> 00:37:30,360
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson. I think that's not a bad option for them, actually,

783
00:37:31,200 --> 00:37:33,120
Speaker 1: you know, considering what's all Russell Wilson.

784
00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:37,440
Speaker 3: If I'm the Giant, go Russell Wilson. And then at

785
00:37:37,440 --> 00:37:40,080
Speaker 3: pick number three, take Abdul Carter, Travis Hunter, one of

786
00:37:40,120 --> 00:37:44,360
Speaker 3: the other. Yeah, if cam Ward goes one, take you

787
00:37:44,480 --> 00:37:46,640
Speaker 3: might have the opportunity for Abduel Carter, Travis Hunter, you're

788
00:37:46,640 --> 00:37:48,400
Speaker 3: gonna get one of them sitting at three. If cam

789
00:37:48,440 --> 00:37:51,160
Speaker 3: Ward goes to one, draft Travis Hunter, and then the

790
00:37:51,160 --> 00:37:54,680
Speaker 3: second round try and take the next best quarterback that's available.

791
00:37:54,760 --> 00:37:58,160
Speaker 3: I think that there's gonna end up being, uh, three

792
00:37:58,239 --> 00:38:01,680
Speaker 3: quarterbacks taken the first round. Does think deserve it, but

793
00:38:01,840 --> 00:38:02,800
Speaker 3: I think three of them are gonna go.

794
00:38:02,840 --> 00:38:04,880
Speaker 2: A lot of people want to match Dart with Pittsburgh.

795
00:38:06,440 --> 00:38:07,200
Speaker 2: Could be interesting.

796
00:38:07,280 --> 00:38:11,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, that I mean, it's I could see it. I

797
00:38:11,200 --> 00:38:14,799
Speaker 3: could absolutely see it. Pick number twenty one, Jackson Dart. Dude,

798
00:38:14,840 --> 00:38:18,160
Speaker 3: his talent, he loves the game. I think he's everything

799
00:38:18,160 --> 00:38:19,760
Speaker 3: that Tomalo would want.

800
00:38:20,000 --> 00:38:20,879
Speaker 2: He's better.

801
00:38:21,400 --> 00:38:24,239
Speaker 3: He's a better thrower of the ball than Roethlisberger was.

802
00:38:24,320 --> 00:38:30,400
Speaker 3: And Roethlisberger came out whoa Roethlisberger? Roethlisberger was kind of

803
00:38:30,440 --> 00:38:32,040
Speaker 3: I mean, he got better. How do you how do

804
00:38:32,040 --> 00:38:35,000
Speaker 3: you explain Roethlisberger because like he would run, but it's

805
00:38:35,040 --> 00:38:36,000
Speaker 3: like he wasn't a runner.

806
00:38:36,080 --> 00:38:38,200
Speaker 2: No, he was just make a throw. But he wasn't

807
00:38:38,239 --> 00:38:39,879
Speaker 2: like Dan Marino, you know what I mean?

808
00:38:40,080 --> 00:38:44,800
Speaker 1: But he had made did he got better as as

809
00:38:44,800 --> 00:38:47,120
Speaker 1: a pro, And that's what people do. They went fifteen,

810
00:38:47,520 --> 00:38:49,680
Speaker 1: fifteen and one as a rookie. I know in his

811
00:38:49,760 --> 00:38:51,359
Speaker 1: rookies he needed to do a ton, but he didn't

812
00:38:51,400 --> 00:38:53,719
Speaker 1: know a ton. The next year, tools and all that kind.

813
00:38:53,600 --> 00:38:55,759
Speaker 2: Of stuff, but he found a way to just make

814
00:38:55,800 --> 00:38:56,360
Speaker 2: a play.

815
00:38:56,760 --> 00:38:59,719
Speaker 1: The next year he did even better. Yeah, and he

816
00:38:59,840 --> 00:39:04,680
Speaker 1: was off and running. Okay, next segment, let's talk about

817
00:39:04,719 --> 00:39:08,440
Speaker 1: what else might be done before the league year begins

818
00:39:08,560 --> 00:39:11,520
Speaker 1: three o'clock Central tomorrow. When we got off the air

819
00:39:11,600 --> 00:39:14,640
Speaker 1: last night, Jake Hansen was re signed by the Texans.

820
00:39:14,880 --> 00:39:17,759
Speaker 1: What might happen tonight and tomorrow they could really help

821
00:39:17,800 --> 00:39:20,640
Speaker 1: this football team who's still out there. And a little

822
00:39:20,680 --> 00:39:23,320
Speaker 1: recap of today as well here on Texans All Access.

823
00:39:23,480 --> 00:39:26,399
Speaker 1: So you know the draft coming up late April. It's

824
00:39:26,400 --> 00:39:29,480
Speaker 1: seven rounds, but it's really not. It's eight rounds. I'm

825
00:39:29,480 --> 00:39:32,200
Speaker 1: here to tell you it's really eight rounds because you

826
00:39:33,280 --> 00:39:37,640
Speaker 1: have thirty five comp picks being doled out. Thirty five compicks.

827
00:39:37,640 --> 00:39:41,120
Speaker 1: That means it's another round plus of the draft. I

828
00:39:41,120 --> 00:39:44,040
Speaker 1: know we don't deem it that way, right, but it's

829
00:39:44,040 --> 00:39:46,560
Speaker 1: really eight rounds of picks.

830
00:39:46,280 --> 00:39:49,080
Speaker 3: Because all the comppicks come in thirty would you say

831
00:39:49,080 --> 00:39:52,200
Speaker 3: thirty five thirty five? Yeah, it's another round plus three.

832
00:39:52,400 --> 00:39:54,120
Speaker 3: It really is it really is eight rounds?

833
00:39:54,160 --> 00:39:56,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's eight rounds. I mean Gary Kubiak was drafted

834
00:39:56,960 --> 00:39:58,720
Speaker 1: in the eighth round. What's upon a time? What nineteen

835
00:39:58,760 --> 00:39:59,800
Speaker 1: eighty three when the.

836
00:39:59,600 --> 00:40:02,080
Speaker 2: Star Wars drafted in the seventeenth round. Yeah, how about that.

837
00:40:02,080 --> 00:40:04,359
Speaker 2: That's a lot of rounds. It was like baseball back then. Yeah,

838
00:40:04,360 --> 00:40:06,279
Speaker 2: but they only had like eight teams or something like that. Yeah.

839
00:40:06,680 --> 00:40:12,040
Speaker 1: And Drew Brees was drafted in the second round, but

840
00:40:12,120 --> 00:40:15,160
Speaker 1: it was pick number thirty two, so today would be

841
00:40:15,239 --> 00:40:18,399
Speaker 1: a first rounder, but it's still a second round pick.

842
00:40:18,680 --> 00:40:20,919
Speaker 2: Sorry, still a secondround pick. Because the league is thirty

843
00:40:20,960 --> 00:40:21,279
Speaker 2: one team.

844
00:40:21,360 --> 00:40:23,640
Speaker 1: So there's right Texan pick the youngest franchise of a

845
00:40:23,680 --> 00:40:25,439
Speaker 1: thirty second team and the thirty second team.

846
00:40:25,440 --> 00:40:26,720
Speaker 2: What are they going to do here, Johnny?

847
00:40:26,760 --> 00:40:29,200
Speaker 1: Because we went over some of the moves today, Lake

848
00:40:29,280 --> 00:40:33,440
Speaker 1: and Tomlinson on the old line, D line, Mario Edwards

849
00:40:33,440 --> 00:40:36,240
Speaker 1: really good stuff. Darryl Taylor they got him yesterday, pass

850
00:40:36,560 --> 00:40:41,200
Speaker 1: rusher and Derek Barnett's back as well on the D line,

851
00:40:41,600 --> 00:40:44,640
Speaker 1: and we talked about the need for more nasty on

852
00:40:44,719 --> 00:40:48,120
Speaker 1: offense on the old line. Three of your five starters

853
00:40:48,120 --> 00:40:50,640
Speaker 1: from opening day twenty twenty four at the Colts of

854
00:40:50,719 --> 00:40:54,880
Speaker 1: Victory are gone. They're gone. The team voluntarily got rid

855
00:40:54,880 --> 00:40:56,279
Speaker 1: of them. It's not like they hit the market and

856
00:40:56,280 --> 00:40:58,680
Speaker 1: got out bid. They voluntarily got rid of them because

857
00:40:58,680 --> 00:41:01,560
Speaker 1: they want to revamp the whole thing. It's like, the

858
00:41:01,640 --> 00:41:05,799
Speaker 1: house looks pretty good, it's only a twenty five thirty

859
00:41:05,880 --> 00:41:07,960
Speaker 1: year old house, but we want to remodel it. Sure,

860
00:41:08,000 --> 00:41:10,799
Speaker 1: we want a new kitchen, we want a new bathroom,

861
00:41:11,280 --> 00:41:14,560
Speaker 1: we want knew this, knew that to do the outside

862
00:41:14,600 --> 00:41:17,480
Speaker 1: with the landscaping. Now, I'm taking the analogy too far

863
00:41:17,560 --> 00:41:22,200
Speaker 1: because on defense they're strengthening a strength. On offense, they're

864
00:41:22,200 --> 00:41:24,799
Speaker 1: taking something down that wasn't strong enough and trying to

865
00:41:24,800 --> 00:41:27,759
Speaker 1: build it up into something even better. And again, we'll

866
00:41:27,760 --> 00:41:30,319
Speaker 1: see how it goes because we won't know it till

867
00:41:30,360 --> 00:41:32,680
Speaker 1: we see it. But there's clearly a plan here in

868
00:41:32,719 --> 00:41:36,400
Speaker 1: Tomlinson was item number one today. We mentioned if you

869
00:41:36,440 --> 00:41:39,399
Speaker 1: had to field a five today up front, it would

870
00:41:39,440 --> 00:41:44,040
Speaker 1: be left to right, Titus Howard, probably Lake and Tomlinson,

871
00:41:45,040 --> 00:41:49,600
Speaker 1: Jared Patterson, Juice Scrugs and Titus and Blake Fisher right tackle.

872
00:41:49,840 --> 00:41:53,279
Speaker 1: That would be your five. But that's not it. There's

873
00:41:53,360 --> 00:41:56,399
Speaker 1: more moves on the horizon, and maybe on the very

874
00:41:56,440 --> 00:41:59,080
Speaker 1: immediate horizon, Zeitler's still out there. There's some players still

875
00:41:59,080 --> 00:41:59,960
Speaker 1: out there free agents.

876
00:42:00,000 --> 00:42:02,239
Speaker 2: See. Of course this is just the first couple of days.

877
00:42:02,280 --> 00:42:04,520
Speaker 1: You know, Nick's gonna keep working it because there are

878
00:42:04,520 --> 00:42:08,160
Speaker 1: guys that are not household names that can contribute. Plus,

879
00:42:08,200 --> 00:42:10,400
Speaker 1: of course soft.

880
00:42:09,719 --> 00:42:10,600
Speaker 2: I'm asking this question.

881
00:42:10,760 --> 00:42:14,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, so based on what they do the next few

882
00:42:14,280 --> 00:42:19,360
Speaker 3: days and inquiring, say they say they acquire a tackle, Yeah,

883
00:42:19,520 --> 00:42:21,760
Speaker 3: you think that tells us something about what they're thinking

884
00:42:21,760 --> 00:42:25,440
Speaker 3: about Titus. Like if they go on and get Zeitler, right,

885
00:42:25,600 --> 00:42:28,279
Speaker 3: it's pretty it's a I don't want to say it's

886
00:42:28,280 --> 00:42:30,600
Speaker 3: a lock. It's pretty much a lock. Titus is gonna

887
00:42:30,600 --> 00:42:31,600
Speaker 3: go back out to tackle, right.

888
00:42:31,680 --> 00:42:32,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, you would think, you.

889
00:42:32,880 --> 00:42:34,560
Speaker 3: Would think, But if they get a tackle, then you

890
00:42:34,600 --> 00:42:37,920
Speaker 3: think maybe Titus stays at guard.

891
00:42:38,040 --> 00:42:40,400
Speaker 2: Honestly, and look, we do what we do.

892
00:42:40,440 --> 00:42:42,600
Speaker 1: But I'm gonna say this, honestly, I don't know what

893
00:42:42,640 --> 00:42:45,640
Speaker 1: they're gonna do, and nothing would really surprise me at

894
00:42:45,680 --> 00:42:48,560
Speaker 1: this point because they could trade Titus at this point

895
00:42:48,640 --> 00:42:49,239
Speaker 1: and who knows.

896
00:42:49,440 --> 00:42:52,160
Speaker 2: I mean, that's what we're talking about. I get it.

897
00:42:52,440 --> 00:42:54,000
Speaker 2: I get a text to the guard from Seth.

898
00:42:54,480 --> 00:42:57,440
Speaker 3: I've been driving in and so I get this text

899
00:42:57,440 --> 00:42:58,920
Speaker 3: and I'm like, what is this referring to?

900
00:42:59,040 --> 00:43:01,440
Speaker 2: And then Seth like they traded Kenyon Green. I'm like,

901
00:43:01,760 --> 00:43:05,280
Speaker 2: oh man, oh wow. And then I see we get CJ. Gardner.

902
00:43:05,400 --> 00:43:08,959
Speaker 2: Johnson is like, wait, what do we just do? Yeah? Boy,

903
00:43:09,040 --> 00:43:13,600
Speaker 2: being that Shaq gone. And think about it this way.

904
00:43:14,440 --> 00:43:19,680
Speaker 3: Which guys were draft picks of Nick Cassario? It was

905
00:43:19,800 --> 00:43:22,320
Speaker 3: Jared Patterson, Jew Scruggs, Milake Fisher.

906
00:43:22,719 --> 00:43:24,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know you think those are the guys also

907
00:43:24,600 --> 00:43:26,480
Speaker 2: draft and Kenyon?

908
00:43:26,560 --> 00:43:29,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, so got rid of Kenyon, got rid of Shaq,

909
00:43:29,440 --> 00:43:32,560
Speaker 3: got rid of Laramie through trades or releases.

910
00:43:32,880 --> 00:43:34,879
Speaker 2: You can't be afraid to make these big moves. No,

911
00:43:34,920 --> 00:43:37,080
Speaker 2: that's the whole point, you know. But but.

912
00:43:38,640 --> 00:43:43,919
Speaker 3: Titus can still play, sure hard tackle. Titus can still play.

913
00:43:43,960 --> 00:43:46,239
Speaker 3: And I think if you sat down with Titus. I

914
00:43:46,280 --> 00:43:48,839
Speaker 3: think if nickod Debico sat down with Titus and Cole's there,

915
00:43:48,840 --> 00:43:52,319
Speaker 3: took Popovich, Nick Keyley, they set the five of them

916
00:43:52,320 --> 00:43:55,520
Speaker 3: sat in the room and they said, Titus A, we

917
00:43:55,600 --> 00:43:57,319
Speaker 3: need you to be the leader of this group. We

918
00:43:57,480 --> 00:44:00,200
Speaker 3: need you to be the leader. Whether you want to

919
00:44:00,360 --> 00:44:01,680
Speaker 3: or not, you have to be the leader and do

920
00:44:01,719 --> 00:44:05,520
Speaker 3: it a positive way. Secondly, you're coming back to play tackle.

921
00:44:05,880 --> 00:44:10,040
Speaker 3: We need you to get your body in tackle shape,

922
00:44:10,080 --> 00:44:12,799
Speaker 3: not in guard shape. You need to be you need

923
00:44:12,840 --> 00:44:14,520
Speaker 3: to when you walk in. We need we need to

924
00:44:14,520 --> 00:44:17,960
Speaker 3: go like Gabriel in Glaciers like damn like we need

925
00:44:18,000 --> 00:44:20,479
Speaker 3: to look at you and think that's guard shape because

926
00:44:20,520 --> 00:44:24,120
Speaker 3: you gotta hold up at that tackle position, left or right.

927
00:44:24,280 --> 00:44:25,359
Speaker 2: That's what we need from you.

928
00:44:25,719 --> 00:44:30,799
Speaker 3: We need you the longest tenured member of this team

929
00:44:30,840 --> 00:44:33,680
Speaker 3: that's not a kicker. We need you to be that

930
00:44:34,000 --> 00:44:39,120
Speaker 3: guy for this offense, for this team. I think tightus

931
00:44:39,160 --> 00:44:41,520
Speaker 3: hearing all of that, I think you would see a

932
00:44:41,560 --> 00:44:42,839
Speaker 3: different Titus in twenty five.

933
00:44:43,200 --> 00:44:45,400
Speaker 2: Okay, I do think you would see one because he

934
00:44:45,440 --> 00:44:45,759
Speaker 2: would be.

935
00:44:47,760 --> 00:44:50,440
Speaker 3: That there's some yes, he would embrace that, there's some

936
00:44:50,480 --> 00:44:53,560
Speaker 3: motivation there. And think about it from Titus's angle too.

937
00:44:54,280 --> 00:44:56,400
Speaker 3: If they do end up saying to him, hey, Titus,

938
00:44:56,400 --> 00:44:59,200
Speaker 3: he'll go out to left tackle. Maybe he doesn't get

939
00:44:59,200 --> 00:45:01,160
Speaker 3: a layer of me like on track, but maybe they

940
00:45:01,280 --> 00:45:03,440
Speaker 3: like what they see and they give him another contractor

941
00:45:03,440 --> 00:45:04,160
Speaker 3: this one runs.

942
00:45:04,000 --> 00:45:07,000
Speaker 1: Out because he's paid like a high paid right tackle. Right,

943
00:45:07,040 --> 00:45:10,680
Speaker 1: that's right, right, that's right playing guard, but paid like

944
00:45:10,719 --> 00:45:13,000
Speaker 1: a right tackle, that's right, which they make some money

945
00:45:13,239 --> 00:45:18,120
Speaker 1: right right tackles. But a left tackle on the horizon, big, big, big,

946
00:45:19,280 --> 00:45:24,280
Speaker 1: So that's another happen. Definitely left tackle with the guys

947
00:45:24,280 --> 00:45:28,400
Speaker 1: on the roster, Titus over Blake Fisher, I would, but

948
00:45:28,600 --> 00:45:31,000
Speaker 1: not out of the question to go the other way

949
00:45:31,040 --> 00:45:31,839
Speaker 1: that you go the other way?

950
00:45:31,840 --> 00:45:34,640
Speaker 2: You say, you know, Blake, I think you could do it.

951
00:45:34,719 --> 00:45:36,440
Speaker 2: I mean, Blake started his first year at Notre Dame

952
00:45:36,520 --> 00:45:36,879
Speaker 2: doing that.

953
00:45:37,040 --> 00:45:39,759
Speaker 3: He was over on the left side, and then when

954
00:45:39,800 --> 00:45:42,200
Speaker 3: Joe came in, Joel went to left, he went the right.

955
00:45:42,520 --> 00:45:43,440
Speaker 2: So I think you could do it.

956
00:45:43,480 --> 00:45:46,399
Speaker 3: But I just I know Titus has never played over

957
00:45:46,400 --> 00:45:48,280
Speaker 3: there other than the game he played against the Chargers,

958
00:45:48,280 --> 00:45:49,560
Speaker 3: and he was just so comfortable.

959
00:45:49,600 --> 00:45:50,760
Speaker 2: He looked really good in that spot.

960
00:45:50,800 --> 00:45:53,080
Speaker 3: That's why I'm saying I think he would embrace the

961
00:45:53,160 --> 00:45:54,279
Speaker 3: challenge and think about it.

962
00:45:54,800 --> 00:45:56,360
Speaker 2: Titus came up playing right tackle.

963
00:45:56,160 --> 00:45:58,359
Speaker 3: Ash the position he loves and enjoys, to go play

964
00:45:58,440 --> 00:45:59,880
Speaker 3: left guard and.

965
00:46:00,080 --> 00:46:02,080
Speaker 2: Played pretty well when this team need it the most.

966
00:46:02,400 --> 00:46:05,640
Speaker 3: I think, Titus, you guys appreciate me, all right, I'm

967
00:46:05,640 --> 00:46:07,839
Speaker 3: gonna return that favorite to you and I'm gonna bust

968
00:46:07,840 --> 00:46:08,200
Speaker 3: my ass.

969
00:46:08,200 --> 00:46:10,480
Speaker 2: So that's the way. I like this. I like that.

970
00:46:10,800 --> 00:46:14,520
