00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:23,520
Speaker 1: and It's especially true right now because this is a

21
00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:25,800
Speaker 1: unique day for a variety of reasons. We have so

22
00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:29,080
Speaker 1: many new players, we have a quarterback who may or

23

Speaker 1: may not be here today, and that's gonna be a

24
00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:34,240
Speaker 1: huge story nationally and locally, and so much going on.

25
00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:36,480
Speaker 1: But I think that you and I always have an

26
00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:38,800
Speaker 1: interesting perspective. I was just in the building. I just

27
00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:41,000
Speaker 1: saw Nick Casserio, I just saw David Culley, just saw

28
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:43,039
Speaker 1: a bunch of coaches and players getting ready for their

29
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:46,480
Speaker 1: first training camp practice. And there is a buzz, there's

30
00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:49,840
Speaker 1: an excitement to this. They know that it's about to

31
00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:54,760
Speaker 1: start here. You're on the record, it's happening here where

32
00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:58,800
Speaker 1: every snap matters as you ramp up to the twenty

33
00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:01,840
Speaker 1: twenty one season. Interesting, as I was walking from my

34
00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:05,080
Speaker 1: car to the into the stadium and then got in

35
00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:09,040
Speaker 1: the building and I just there's just this charge I get,

36
00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:11,280
Speaker 1: and I got the same charge walking over. And as

37
00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:13,800
Speaker 1: I was walking over, the guys were activating. So the

38
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:16,639
Speaker 1: guys were walking back from the Houston Methist trains and

39
00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:19,960
Speaker 1: are bubble back over soaked like they had already had

40
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:22,639
Speaker 1: a workout, a workout, Yeah, and then they're gonna work

41
00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:25,840
Speaker 1: out and I just walked over the bridge and seeing

42
00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:29,120
Speaker 1: guys walk over, it's like, man, it's on. You said

43
00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:31,240
Speaker 1: twentieth year and you're like, you're all different, and they are.

44
00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:33,440
Speaker 1: They're all different, and we got a lot going on.

45
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:37,000
Speaker 1: What's not different. We could have taken a picture, a

46
00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:40,720
Speaker 1: snapshot of this. I know what you're gonna say, and

47
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:43,600
Speaker 1: it's the same other than the two years we were

48
00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:45,080
Speaker 1: at the Green bright although the first day at the

49
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:47,000
Speaker 1: Greenbrier it was it was like this too, not a

50
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:49,840
Speaker 1: cloud in the sky, the sun is out. And we

51
00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:51,519
Speaker 1: always talked about the weather and yeah, it's gonna be

52
00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:53,840
Speaker 1: steaming hot. Those interesting talking to the guys yesterday for

53
00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:56,520
Speaker 1: media days, talking to some Julie Johnson was one that

54
00:02:56,560 --> 00:03:00,280
Speaker 1: stood out. Always played in the the Midwest with Iowa. Yeah,

55
00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:03,720
Speaker 1: played for the Vikings, always in the Midwest. He's noticing it. Yeah,

56
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:05,160
Speaker 1: And we asked him, you know what about you know,

57
00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:07,200
Speaker 1: coming to Houston. He's like, oh, man, you know, first

58
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:10,040
Speaker 1: thing that's hot. I remember C J. Fit Orwitz ironically

59
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:12,119
Speaker 1: both going up having gone to Iowa said the same

60
00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:15,080
Speaker 1: thing to go to go out to man. Something just

61
00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:18,120
Speaker 1: bit me. Holy smokes, Wow that hurt. Oh maybe it's

62
00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:20,000
Speaker 1: a wasp. I don't know, man, but if it's a wasp,

63
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:23,400
Speaker 1: I might die. I'm allergic to wasp and beasting. So hopefully,

64
00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:26,960
Speaker 1: hopefully your legs start swelling up. We do have medical

65
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:30,120
Speaker 1: professionals here. Then that's the one thing about being here

66
00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:32,960
Speaker 1: at training camp is if something does happen. I mean,

67
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:34,679
Speaker 1: there are plenty of doctors, but they don't want to

68
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:36,600
Speaker 1: deal with you. No, they don't want to deal with me. Honestly,

69
00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:39,080
Speaker 1: they don't want to deal with anybody. I remember twenty fifteen,

70
00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:40,880
Speaker 1: the year A Hard Knocks. I mean, we were halfway

71
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:43,720
Speaker 1: through the first day and Jeff Kaplan's walking over to

72
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:46,440
Speaker 1: former head coach Bill O'Brien and saying, yeah, Arian's got

73
00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:48,160
Speaker 1: a groin, And then we didn't see Arian for weeks

74
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:50,440
Speaker 1: and we're like, oh, I mean, it was just it

75
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:54,320
Speaker 1: was crushing to that's the old he's gotten growing, he's

76
00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:55,720
Speaker 1: got a foot, he's got a knee. I know he

77
00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:58,200
Speaker 1: has a knee, and we're gonna see that today. One

78
00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:01,360
Speaker 1: other thing I told myself all night, all night, all

79
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:03,280
Speaker 1: this morning. I went from my three mile walk this

80
00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:05,840

84
00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:23,800
Speaker 1: a mile a million miles a minute, just relax because

85
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:25,880
Speaker 1: you seem to be bothered by this. Yeah, well they

86
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:30,120

87
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:32,880

135
00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:42,680
Speaker 1: still twelve short of the general. Hey see I remember

136
00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:45,320
Speaker 1: the first fun I was yesterday. See, hey, we were

137
00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:48,120
Speaker 1: right out here. They did two days back then, Johnny,

138
00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:51,560
Speaker 1: they did two days, and yes, they did attempt an

139
00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:55,760
Speaker 1: afternoon practice or two and that just stopped immediately because

140
00:06:56,680 --> 00:06:59,280
Speaker 1: well I guess not immediately if they attempted too. But

141
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:01,919
Speaker 1: I just remember remember coming out for an afternoon practice

142
00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:05,040
Speaker 1: at some point and then that stop. But Dom usually

143
00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:09,400
Speaker 1: did one day on and then one day with one

144
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:11,840
Speaker 1: practice and then a two a day on the next day.

145
00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:15,080
Speaker 1: But he would go morning and evening. He would want

146
00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:19,480
Speaker 1: two meals in the guys between practices for hydration or

147
00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:21,960
Speaker 1: whatever else recovery. So that was pretty cool. But you

148
00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:24,440
Speaker 1: mentioned it guys activating this morning, and maybe they'll do

149
00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:26,800
Speaker 1: that every day and then come right out here. I'm

150
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:28,680
Speaker 1: surprised they go back in, but I know they had

151
00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:31,520
Speaker 1: a meeting this morning and they're coming back out. So

152
00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:34,440
Speaker 1: here's the deal with that. I believe that this is

153
00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:36,920
Speaker 1: not going to be a full blown deal today. I

154
00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:39,160
Speaker 1: don't have any information on that, but I would not

155
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:41,280
Speaker 1: be surprised if they go a little lighter today. They're

156
00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:43,240
Speaker 1: not going to go in pads for a few days obviously,

157
00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:45,440
Speaker 1: and it is the first one. They just have the

158
00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:48,120
Speaker 1: conditioning test yesterday. But we'll see, maybe we see a

159
00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:51,560
Speaker 1: full blown thing. I think it'll be a very heavy

160
00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:54,520
Speaker 1: OTA practice. I think you're right that kind of format.

161
00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:57,000
Speaker 1: I was listening to Matt Campbell from Iowa State. I

162
00:07:57,080 --> 00:07:58,680
Speaker 1: know it's college, but I was listening to Matt Campbell

163
00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:02,320
Speaker 1: and he did. There was like a long video piece

164
00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:04,960
Speaker 1: and I was watching he was talking about what COVID

165
00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:08,840
Speaker 1: taught them, and I read an article about it later.

166
00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:12,000
Speaker 1: He talked about what COVID kind of changed for them,

167
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:14,880
Speaker 1: and he said he felt in twenty twenty the way

168
00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:18,040
Speaker 1: that they ramped up to the season and how they

169
00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:20,080
Speaker 1: went about it, especially in this because there was no

170
00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:23,680
Speaker 1: spring last year going into twenty twenty, he said that

171
00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:27,920
Speaker 1: changed forever how he was going to approach practice, fall practice,

172
00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:30,160
Speaker 1: and even spring practice. He had a great year. Well

173
00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:32,120
Speaker 1: not only that, but he also felt like at the

174
00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:34,240
Speaker 1: end of the year, he felt like his players had

175
00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:36,880
Speaker 1: more juice left. He felt like they had more juice

176
00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:39,640
Speaker 1: than they had ever had because of how they went

177
00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:42,880
Speaker 1: about ramping them up, getting them to the season and

178
00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:45,440
Speaker 1: then through the season. And he said he'll continue to

179
00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:47,920
Speaker 1: do that going forward. So I'll be curious to see

180
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:51,720
Speaker 1: how teams, how the Texans, how other teams adjust. I've

181
00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:54,120
Speaker 1: heard Sean McVay talk about that on the podcast Flying Coach,

182
00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:58,680
Speaker 1: about how to how to adjust, what COVID taught them,

183
00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:01,080
Speaker 1: how they could go about And I know they've made changes,

184
00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:03,560
Speaker 1: especially in the Rams Scotty department, talked about that just

185
00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:06,199
Speaker 1: being onto all that kind of stuff, but how they

186
00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:09,680
Speaker 1: ramp up during training camp and especially with now a

187
00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:15,240
Speaker 1: seventeenth game, that whole marathon, it's already started. But it's

188
00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:16,760
Speaker 1: it's not like one of those things where you get

189
00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:19,240
Speaker 1: to training camp you just hit it full bore, kind

190
00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:21,400
Speaker 1: of ramp that thing up, be ready to go by

191
00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:23,520
Speaker 1: September twelfth, and not to say that you can't be

192
00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:26,679
Speaker 1: ready by obviously August fourteenth in a preseason game, but

193
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:32,199
Speaker 1: I'll i'll be curious to see the approach and how

194
00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:36,640
Speaker 1: it had in contrast that to previous years, not last year,

195
00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:38,280
Speaker 1: because last year was just weird. But here's the thing

196
00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:40,760
Speaker 1: about this staff. We haven't seen them operate. They haven't

197
00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:43,240
Speaker 1: operated as a staff before. I mean, they've all done

198
00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:46,560
Speaker 1: their thing with different organizations. Obviously, Love he've been a

199
00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:49,240
Speaker 1: head coach, a real successful one, Caserio in New England,

200
00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:52,319
Speaker 1: Gully everywhere he's been as an assistant head coach and

201
00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:56,480
Speaker 1: two other stops. So here we are in Houston, and

202
00:09:56,520 --> 00:09:58,200
Speaker 1: we don't know how they would handle it in a

203
00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:00,800
Speaker 1: non COVID year. We don't know how they would handle

204
00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:03,280
Speaker 1: practice at a place like the Greenbrier with good weather

205
00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:05,760
Speaker 1: or you know, cooler weather. I should say this is

206
00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:09,000
Speaker 1: great weather. I love this. This is vintage Texans training

207
00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:11,079
Speaker 1: camp weather. And remember a few weeks ago it was

208
00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:13,280
Speaker 1: raining every day. We're getting that cloud cover a lot

209
00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:15,120
Speaker 1: and it was kind of nice. And no, I like, yeah,

210
00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:17,920
Speaker 1: though a lot of cloud cover. That's gone. All right,

211
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:22,840
Speaker 1: we have blue sky, hot humid Texas. Here we go.

212
00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:26,240
Speaker 1: It's training camp. So I've said this. Some people know

213
00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:27,760
Speaker 1: my wife and my daughter and are out in LA

214
00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:29,520
Speaker 1: and so I checked the weather out there every day.

215
00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:32,040
Speaker 1: And there's no sense in even doing it because when

216
00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:33,920
Speaker 1: you go to the weather app and they've got like

217
00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:36,559
Speaker 1: eight or nine days and all you see is this

218
00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:40,000
Speaker 1: yellow orb but just all the way down that's it.

219
00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:42,760
Speaker 1: That's all you see. Yeah, that's it. And that's kind

220
00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:44,880
Speaker 1: of where we'll be. You might get a little cloud cover,

221
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:48,360
Speaker 1: but not today, No, not today, not today at all.

222
00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:50,760
Speaker 1: There is You couldn't buy a cloud today. You mean,

223
00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:53,760
Speaker 1: they're all gone. You said something about it being the same,

224
00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:56,880
Speaker 1: but things have changed over the years. And we talked

225
00:10:56,880 --> 00:10:59,920
Speaker 1: about this with John Weeks yesterday. You heard that on

226
00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:01,920
Speaker 1: Texans All Access. The show is up on the app.

227
00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:03,520
Speaker 1: By the way, it's a great show with Chris Conley,

228
00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:06,360
Speaker 1: Chris Moore, and John Weaves. Is unbelievable. I mean, I

229
00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:09,439
Speaker 1: know these aren't names that are necessarily going to sell

230
00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:11,719
Speaker 1: out the theater, but let me tell you something. These

231
00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:14,520
Speaker 1: guys were phenomenal guests. And that show is on our

232
00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:16,920
Speaker 1: app you can listen to it later. But the scoreboard,

233
00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:19,520
Speaker 1: which was new last year here at the Houston Methodist

234
00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:22,640
Speaker 1: Training Center. Now fans will be back. They're not here today,

235
00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:26,360
Speaker 1: a few days until we get them, but everything is covered.

236
00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:30,320
Speaker 1: It's gigantic. The canopy they have over the middle stands.

237
00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:33,560
Speaker 1: They're gonna have a hospitality area up there with the

238
00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:36,280
Speaker 1: bleachers and then all the bleachers on the side. I

239
00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:39,160
Speaker 1: know they've been covered before, but not this much. There's

240
00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:41,800
Speaker 1: a lot of cover there, so that's gonna be cool

241
00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:45,560
Speaker 1: in multiple ways. They still have the CRV. Is that

242
00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:47,800
Speaker 1: what it's called cool zone, the cool zone unit for

243
00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:50,840
Speaker 1: the players. They've got some shaded areas in the end zones,

244
00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:53,040
Speaker 1: and they have the twenty foot rule. They have to

245
00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:56,000
Speaker 1: keep the fans away from the players by at least

246
00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:58,800
Speaker 1: twenty feet. All sorts of protocols in place here. I'm

247
00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:02,120
Speaker 1: in the inner tier now, John, I have graduated into

248
00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:05,120
Speaker 1: the intertier. Well, it's it's a kind of training camp

249
00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:08,960
Speaker 1: slash travel entertier status I have. I just stay away

250
00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:11,040
Speaker 1: from everybody. That's what I do, except for John McClain,

251
00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:13,880
Speaker 1: who who is actually making his way back toward the

252
00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:16,600
Speaker 1: tent here and we'll get him on the air. And General,

253
00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:18,559
Speaker 1: we do have a more shaded area for you to sit,

254
00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:20,160
Speaker 1: but I know you like getting a tan here at

255
00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:22,360
Speaker 1: the Houston Ato the training Center. It's part of the

256
00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:27,600
Speaker 1: training camp, stinking shade. Like wait a second, I could

257
00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:29,840
Speaker 1: walk right out here. I'm only there. Come out here

258
00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:33,240
Speaker 1: and stand in the shade block the sun. I've been

259
00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:35,400
Speaker 1: out there for an hour and now I'm gonna do

260
00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:38,640
Speaker 1: it forever long. You'll all right, General, it's a pleasure

261
00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:41,079
Speaker 1: to have you on. We'll have Nicko Sarrio's press conference

262
00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:42,880
Speaker 1: at eight forty five, and then we'll have him on

263
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:46,240
Speaker 1: this show right after that, and we'll talk to him

264
00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:48,560
Speaker 1: about the big story of the day, of course, and

265
00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:50,840
Speaker 1: everything else going on with this team, because there's plenty

266
00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:53,080
Speaker 1: going on with this team. But John, what about the

267
00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:55,160
Speaker 1: big story of the day and what you're expecting today

268
00:12:55,320 --> 00:13:00,079
Speaker 1: from your perspective? I still believe that the NFL for

269
00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:04,000
Speaker 1: at some point, we'll put Watson on the example list,

270
00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:06,439
Speaker 1: which means he'll get paid his bass salary at ten

271
00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:08,920
Speaker 1: point five four million, But he don't get paid that

272
00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:12,320
Speaker 1: bass salary till the season begins and the league announced

273
00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:16,160
Speaker 1: they're continuing the investigation in which we already all knew.

274
00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:19,840
Speaker 1: And so what I'd like to know with Nick is

275
00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:22,560
Speaker 1: what's Watson's status? Is he just one of the guys.

276
00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:24,720
Speaker 1: Is he going to be out here? Is he going

277
00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:27,439
Speaker 1: to be fourth team? Who's he going to be taking

278
00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:30,679
Speaker 1: snaps away from snaps at training camp? With three new

279
00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:34,320
Speaker 1: quarterbacks are invaluable, you don't need somebody it's not going

280
00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:36,880
Speaker 1: to be on the team taking snaps. And you guys

281
00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:40,840
Speaker 1: remember two seventeen, nobody touched him. He took a couple

282
00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:43,960
Speaker 1: of steps after pass blew out his knee. That could

283
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:47,280
Speaker 1: happen at any time. So if I'm am I'm hoping

284
00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:50,480
Speaker 1: to get a great offer for Deshaun Watson, No way

285
00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:52,520
Speaker 1: I'm putting him out on the field, run the risk

286
00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:55,040
Speaker 1: of an injury, and they could send him home with

287
00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:58,199
Speaker 1: an excused absence and not find him. But if they

288
00:13:58,200 --> 00:13:59,800
Speaker 1: were going to do that, I think they all would

289
00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:02,760
Speaker 1: he would have. So we're all curious to see when

290
00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:05,560
Speaker 1: he gets out here, where will number four be and

291
00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:08,320
Speaker 1: what will he be doing. Will he be working with

292
00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:11,080
Speaker 1: Davis Mills to help him? Will he try and you'd

293
00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:14,400
Speaker 1: think he'd like try to help them become familiarity with

294
00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:18,200
Speaker 1: they're familiar with their teammates, they and know most of them.

295
00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:21,600
Speaker 1: Now that Dante Mincrave has gone, they're back to fifty

296
00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:25,520
Speaker 1: new players, including forty two veterans and Randall Cob. I'm

297
00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:28,239
Speaker 1: sure it's going to be traded, and so that would

298
00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:32,120
Speaker 1: take open up another spot for another veteran to come

299
00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:35,400
Speaker 1: in here. So there's so many players that are getting

300
00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:38,960
Speaker 1: to know each other on the field, as the coaches too.

301
00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:43,160
Speaker 1: So watching so many moving parts, the defense and the

302
00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:46,680
Speaker 1: new four three with Lovey Smith, the new emphasis on

303
00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:49,800
Speaker 1: the running game, all new quarterbacks. It's going to be fun.

304
00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:53,000
Speaker 1: A lot of things that make this a fascinating training camp.

305
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:57,080
Speaker 1: In preseason, John Over the weekend Texans trade for Anthony Miller.

306
00:14:57,640 --> 00:14:59,760
Speaker 1: The news comes down because everything going on at green

307
00:14:59,760 --> 00:15:03,320
Speaker 1: Bay about the potential of Randall Cobb going to Green Bay.

308
00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:05,080
Speaker 1: Don't know what's gonna happen. With that, What are your

309
00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:09,200
Speaker 1: thoughts about the Miller trade here Cobb potentially going there. Yeah,

310
00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:11,360
Speaker 1: GOB's going to Green Bay. They were trying to work

311
00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:14,920
Speaker 1: out the pick, and I'm guarantee I can't imagine that

312
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:17,520
Speaker 1: the Packers were wanting to take on that contract in

313
00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:21,200
Speaker 1: paying what he was due to make with that contract

314
00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:24,720
Speaker 1: he signed with him Texans last year. So Miller can

315
00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:28,840
Speaker 1: play insider outside. People Chicago were glad he left. They

316
00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:30,960
Speaker 1: didn't think he lived up to the potential he showed

317
00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:33,920
Speaker 1: as a rookie his second round pick in twenty eighteen.

318
00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:35,920
Speaker 1: But he's gonna be hungry. Like a lot of these

319
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:38,720
Speaker 1: veterans Nikessario is brought in who are on one or

320
00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:41,880
Speaker 1: two year contracts, big increased coming to the salary cap.

321
00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:45,120
Speaker 1: They know if they play well and they provide the

322
00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:48,520
Speaker 1: kind of culture that they're looking for here, and they

323
00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:50,760
Speaker 1: got a chance to get paid. And Anthony Miller's one

324
00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:52,880
Speaker 1: of them. He could get paid here, He could get

325
00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:55,680
Speaker 1: paid in free agency. So I'm guessing they're gonna be

326
00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:59,240
Speaker 1: get the best that that guy's got and hopefully he

327
00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:02,400
Speaker 1: won't be punched and any defensive backs that got him

328
00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:05,360
Speaker 1: kicked out of the playoff game against the Saints. Well,

329
00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:07,520
Speaker 1: if there's any defensive back who deserved to punch m

330
00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:11,840
Speaker 1: hunc Garter Johnson. Yeah, And the fact is that said

331
00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:15,040
Speaker 1: the coaches told him to not fall for this guy.

332
00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:17,520
Speaker 1: That's his game. That he did. And the thing was

333
00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:20,840
Speaker 1: is in the first matchup John Gardner Johnson did those

334
00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:23,200
Speaker 1: same things. He did those same things to Miller, and

335
00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:25,080
Speaker 1: Millard just shoved at his side and caught eight passes

336
00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:27,400
Speaker 1: for seventy three yards like he was running his routes

337
00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:31,800
Speaker 1: against Gardner Johnson and physically like getting him off of him.

338
00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:34,000
Speaker 1: And then got to the playoff game and let all

339
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:36,480
Speaker 1: this stuff bother who knows. I like the Millard drade

340
00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:39,960
Speaker 1: because he and Chris Conley both had forty or more

341
00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:42,960
Speaker 1: catches the last two seasons. Of course he's had that

342
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:45,920
Speaker 1: many for three seasons, but I would look for him

343
00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:49,160
Speaker 1: and Cooks, and I think Connley will end up being

344
00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:52,400
Speaker 1: a starter when Jackson Toil comes to town. Those will

345
00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:55,320
Speaker 1: be the three wideouts if they go with three wives

346
00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:58,360
Speaker 1: instead of two tight ends. Conley already talked about playing

347
00:16:58,360 --> 00:17:02,240
Speaker 1: his former team last night when we interviewed him. All right, general,

348
00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:07,159
Speaker 1: in a normal situation, if this were an established roster

349
00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:09,560
Speaker 1: with these running backs and they had been around for

350
00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:11,360
Speaker 1: a bit, you'd say, well, you don't want to wear

351
00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:13,439
Speaker 1: them out or anything. It's training camp. You know what

352
00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:15,199
Speaker 1: you've got. But you really don't know what you have

353
00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:17,800
Speaker 1: with these guys. Even though they're veterans, they need the work.

354
00:17:18,080 --> 00:17:20,960
Speaker 1: Yet you can wear them out because they're veterans. So

355
00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:23,119
Speaker 1: how do you handle the running back snaps in this

356
00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:25,440
Speaker 1: training camp? Well, first of all, they're not gonna run

357
00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:27,560
Speaker 1: over anybody. They can't be hit, they don't go to

358
00:17:27,600 --> 00:17:29,919
Speaker 1: the ground on purpose. So it's going to be the

359
00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:32,400
Speaker 1: preseason before we really get a good look at them.

360
00:17:32,840 --> 00:17:35,520
Speaker 1: You know, Philip Lanes, he had thousand yards two years ago,

361
00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:40,520
Speaker 1: Mark Ingram had fifteen touchdowns two years ago. And David Johnson,

362
00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:43,400
Speaker 1: of course, they know what they've gotten him. Not sure

363
00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:47,159
Speaker 1: what the contribubuitions will be for Rex burkeead he's never

364
00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:49,960
Speaker 1: been a regular starter. They won't. I can't imagine they'd

365
00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:52,520
Speaker 1: keep all four because you got to play special teams.

366
00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:55,000
Speaker 1: Don't know how many of those guys would play special

367
00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:58,000
Speaker 1: teams in backup roles. But you need three good ones

368
00:17:58,040 --> 00:17:59,639
Speaker 1: when you're gonna run the ball. As much as the

369
00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:03,320
Speaker 1: text and when you got a seventeenth game. So I

370
00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:06,439
Speaker 1: look for them to get a good look in training camp,

371
00:18:06,760 --> 00:18:08,840
Speaker 1: and then I'm guessing they'll go into the season with

372
00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:11,480
Speaker 1: David Johnson as a starter. But the one I'm most

373
00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:14,560
Speaker 1: interested in is Philip Lindsay john If I gave you

374
00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:17,440
Speaker 1: a million bucks and said, you can't watch the quarterbacks today,

375
00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:19,880
Speaker 1: can't even set eyes on them, because I know everybody's

376
00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:22,080
Speaker 1: gonna be watching the quarterbacks. So give a million dollars,

377
00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:23,760
Speaker 1: you gotta watch something else. What's the first thing you're

378
00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:25,800
Speaker 1: watching today train Well, since they don't hit and they're

379
00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:28,280
Speaker 1: not wearing pads, the only thing we're watching would be

380
00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:30,919
Speaker 1: the receivers. But you'd have to hold your hand up

381
00:18:30,960 --> 00:18:32,960
Speaker 1: like this so you didn't see who's throwing the ball

382
00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:35,280
Speaker 1: and just watch it go down the field, and the

383
00:18:35,359 --> 00:18:38,880
Speaker 1: guys running with the receivers and the backs tight ends

384
00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:41,760
Speaker 1: will catch passes. So I'd be watching the receivers and

385
00:18:41,800 --> 00:18:44,159
Speaker 1: the dbs because really they're the only ones that are

386
00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:47,159
Speaker 1: gonna be able to do anything today since they're not

387
00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:49,320
Speaker 1: putting on bads. So that's a bad investment by me

388
00:18:49,359 --> 00:18:51,439
Speaker 1: to give you a million dollars to just watch passcap well,

389
00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:53,320
Speaker 1: if you gave me a million dollars, I'm out of here.

390
00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:56,600
Speaker 1: You've watched any you and Mark can watch anybody you want,

391
00:18:56,920 --> 00:18:59,840
Speaker 1: and I'll listen to you on the sports radio six.

392
00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:03,639
Speaker 1: All right, General, what about the defensive line here? We

393
00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:06,399
Speaker 1: taught to Malie Collins yesterday. As you get to know

394
00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:09,479
Speaker 1: these guys and see them up close and personal eyeballed them,

395
00:19:09,520 --> 00:19:11,760
Speaker 1: you start realizing, you know what, there's talent up there

396
00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:14,919
Speaker 1: and they could do some damage in his Lovey Smith

397
00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:16,480
Speaker 1: for three. What do you make of what they have

398
00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:19,000
Speaker 1: up front? Millie Collins did a good job at Dallas,

399
00:19:19,040 --> 00:19:20,879
Speaker 1: did not do a good job with the Raiders. So

400
00:19:21,080 --> 00:19:23,760
Speaker 1: he's a guy should be playing tackle with a chip

401
00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:26,480
Speaker 1: on his shoulder. Jolil Johnson, who I think will be

402
00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:29,600
Speaker 1: the other tackle, started sixteen games for the Vikings. They

403
00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:33,240
Speaker 1: didn't trade bernardert McKinney for Shack Lawson. For Shack Lawston

404
00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:35,520
Speaker 1: to be in a bench. And then I think Charles

405
00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:37,800
Speaker 1: a Minna who would be the fourth starter, and then

406
00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:41,320
Speaker 1: they'll make part of a rotation. Well, the player I'm

407
00:19:41,359 --> 00:19:45,040
Speaker 1: most interested to watch on defense is Ross Blacklock. Going

408
00:19:45,119 --> 00:19:48,280
Speaker 1: into his second year. He was a disappointment as a rookie.

409
00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:51,160
Speaker 1: He needs to really step up his game and make

410
00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:53,960
Speaker 1: that transition to a four to three, which is a

411
00:19:53,960 --> 00:19:56,879
Speaker 1: whole lot easier than a three four for a young player.

412
00:19:57,000 --> 00:20:00,520
Speaker 1: So this should be ideal. And I think my prediction

413
00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:03,760
Speaker 1: is a man who will be the biggest improved player

414
00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:06,600
Speaker 1: on the defensive line. If you think about the limited

415
00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:08,920
Speaker 1: number he snaps he had last year and anytimes he

416
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:10,920
Speaker 1: hit the quarterback, what in the world would he do

417
00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:13,080
Speaker 1: if he's playing most of the time and he can

418
00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:15,440
Speaker 1: play inside the r outside. He's too big for a

419
00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:18,320
Speaker 1: four or three defensive end, but he can play it

420
00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:20,400
Speaker 1: against the run, and of course they have to improve

421
00:20:20,840 --> 00:20:23,000
Speaker 1: against the run, But why don't you know those guys

422
00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:26,080
Speaker 1: up front? To me is the most interesting thing about

423
00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:28,040
Speaker 1: the defense. I think the big thing for a manner

424
00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:31,520
Speaker 1: who on rundowns being inside. I don't want to say

425
00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:34,040
Speaker 1: he's a liability, but it's just it's not a strength.

426
00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:36,000
Speaker 1: But I think he could do it outside if you

427
00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:38,240
Speaker 1: go inside to rush, that's where he really has success.

428
00:20:38,240 --> 00:20:40,960
Speaker 1: And John, you stole my thunder with Ross Blacklock, because

429
00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:45,159
Speaker 1: I think there are three really key guys amongst a

430
00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:48,600
Speaker 1: lot of guys, but Ross Blacklock taking that step going

431
00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:50,640
Speaker 1: from year one, year two, like you said, tough year one,

432
00:20:51,119 --> 00:20:53,800
Speaker 1: year two, coming back with a vengeance hopefully. I think

433
00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:56,200
Speaker 1: one as tight as Howard two years. I think he's

434
00:20:56,200 --> 00:20:58,360
Speaker 1: shown some really good things, but he's got the athletic

435
00:20:58,359 --> 00:21:00,399
Speaker 1: ability in the talent to be even more. He's got

436
00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:04,000
Speaker 1: to take that leap. The third to me is Lonnie

437
00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:06,600
Speaker 1: Johnson at safety. What do you expect from the third

438
00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:09,520
Speaker 1: year now and his second year at safety? And how

439
00:21:09,520 --> 00:21:11,639
Speaker 1: important is he is he to the defense? You know

440
00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:14,560
Speaker 1: which starters started the most games last year and secondary

441
00:21:15,320 --> 00:21:18,560
Speaker 1: Vernon Ard Rays seventeen. He's the only one. So you

442
00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:22,479
Speaker 1: had Eric Murray and Justin Reid doing most of the starting.

443
00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:26,119
Speaker 1: Johnson had five games. It's his third year. They need

444
00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:30,160
Speaker 1: to see the improvement and in consistency they expected when

445
00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:32,399
Speaker 1: he was second round pick. If not, he may not

446
00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:35,080
Speaker 1: be back for the fourth year in a new contract.

447
00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:38,439
Speaker 1: But I thought it was so interesting fewer changes in

448
00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:43,680
Speaker 1: the secondary, and considering they had only two interceptions last

449
00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:46,000
Speaker 1: year when they had nine turnover second few and since

450
00:21:46,119 --> 00:21:49,639
Speaker 1: nineteen eighty that's the stat I'll guarantee you is going

451
00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:52,480
Speaker 1: to be improved under Lovey Smith. His hame work has

452
00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:55,720
Speaker 1: been forcing turnovers. They that starts up front, of course

453
00:21:55,720 --> 00:21:58,040
Speaker 1: with the pressure, but I guarantee you they're not gonna

454
00:21:58,040 --> 00:22:00,200
Speaker 1: finish last against the run, and they're gonna have a

455
00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:04,320
Speaker 1: whole lot more turnovers than nine. I just think you're

456
00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:07,360
Speaker 1: going to have more than nine. Well, Terrence Brooks, Terrence Mitchell,

457
00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:10,800
Speaker 1: Desmond King, somebody's gonna rise up, maybe more than one guy.

458
00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:13,679
Speaker 1: Mitchell's only one of those who started every game last year,

459
00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:17,720
Speaker 1: and he did it for the Browns. I just those guys, though,

460
00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:20,600
Speaker 1: have made plays in this league. It's funny, John, as

461
00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:24,040
Speaker 1: we're interviewing all these guys, I'm realizing everybody seems to

462
00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:26,919
Speaker 1: be twenty seven years old on this team. It's not true,

463
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:28,439
Speaker 1: but there are a lot of guys who are in

464
00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:30,680
Speaker 1: that one smart because that means I've got one more

465
00:22:30,920 --> 00:22:34,719
Speaker 1: good contract in them, right, one more. One last hurrah

466
00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:37,960
Speaker 1: for some of these guys, and they wanted to create competition,

467
00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:40,320
Speaker 1: they clearly have it. Let's go to the offensive line

468
00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:43,480
Speaker 1: for a moment, because on pup you've got Marcus Cannon

469
00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:45,879
Speaker 1: and Lane Taylor, and those are two guys you'd love

470
00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:49,480
Speaker 1: to see in the mix here very much upfront. So

471
00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:52,639
Speaker 1: obviously it's not forever, and it could be very short.

472
00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:55,280
Speaker 1: But what are you thinking there on the offensive line?

473
00:22:55,280 --> 00:22:57,880
Speaker 1: Soon as hain't passed their physicals after their knee injuries,

474
00:22:57,880 --> 00:23:01,600
Speaker 1: they'll be back the two starters tackle or sat Laramy Tunsil.

475
00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:04,920
Speaker 1: They're best player on offense and according to the league,

476
00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:07,560
Speaker 1: the best player on the team according to ESPN and

477
00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:11,399
Speaker 1: their survey of fifty executives and players and coaches. And

478
00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:15,440
Speaker 1: then uh Tydus Howard right tackle, Justin Brett center. Both

479
00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:18,760
Speaker 1: guards are wide of but I assumed that Lane Taylor

480
00:23:18,760 --> 00:23:22,080
Speaker 1: would Starkness. He played for James Camping in Green Bay,

481
00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:25,000
Speaker 1: and he was ticketed to start for the Packers last year,

482
00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:26,760
Speaker 1: and he had a biceps injury and when he came

483
00:23:26,760 --> 00:23:29,080
Speaker 1: back from that, he blew out his knee. And I

484
00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:31,440
Speaker 1: think he'd be really nice if Max Sharping played well

485
00:23:31,720 --> 00:23:34,800
Speaker 1: better than last season and nailed down the left guard job.

486
00:23:35,080 --> 00:23:37,119
Speaker 1: But those guys are pumped because they're gonna get the

487
00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:41,440
Speaker 1: run block so much more than they did last season. John,

488
00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:47,240
Speaker 1: what's your favorite thing about training camp? Truthfully, come in

489
00:23:47,320 --> 00:23:53,240
Speaker 1: out the camaraderie of seeing everybody again. You know the restrictions,

490
00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:56,359
Speaker 1: I understand them. I don't like them, just the sign

491
00:23:56,400 --> 00:23:59,080
Speaker 1: of the times. But seeing new players, you know, it'd

492
00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:01,800
Speaker 1: be so much It's more fun if nothing, if Watson

493
00:24:02,160 --> 00:24:05,640
Speaker 1: had never demanded to be traded or at his legal issues,

494
00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:09,399
Speaker 1: and they could focus their rebuild around him. But seeing

495
00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:12,920
Speaker 1: new players, new coaches, to change to the four to

496
00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:16,320
Speaker 1: three for a first time since two ten. There's just

497
00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:20,639
Speaker 1: so many changes on this team, so many places to look,

498
00:24:21,080 --> 00:24:23,400
Speaker 1: and we're not really going to get a good barometer

499
00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:26,480
Speaker 1: of where they are until we get into the preseason

500
00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:30,000
Speaker 1: and they start at Green Bay with the Packers and

501
00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:33,359
Speaker 1: they can hit legitimately. But watching how it all plays out,

502
00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:35,640
Speaker 1: and I don't care how many games they win, watching

503
00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:38,359
Speaker 1: how it all plays out is going to be so interesting.

504
00:24:38,520 --> 00:24:41,080
Speaker 1: That's the reality show ever it is. General. Thanks a

505
00:24:41,080 --> 00:24:42,520
Speaker 1: lot for joining us. We look forward to seeing your

506

Speaker 1: I going to be in the future or do I

509
00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:51,400
Speaker 1: need to be flexed? That's that information is given out

510
00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:53,320
Speaker 1: on a need to know basis all right, and no,

511
00:24:53,480 --> 00:24:55,960
Speaker 1: it'll be early, it'll be around now. If that's okay,

512

Speaker 1: I'll be here. I'll do anything you guys want. Thank

613
00:31:28,760 --> 00:31:31,880

614
00:31:31,880 --> 00:31:36,560
Speaker 1: probably start Saturday morning with your initial training camp practice.

615

Speaker 1: Now you have three more, if three extras to get ready.

Speaker 1: And don't get me started on game day week yet.

618
00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:48,000

619
00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:51,840
Speaker 1: today's Wednesday. It's Wednesday because I woke up this morning

620
00:31:51,880 --> 00:31:54,440
Speaker 1: thinking it was Friday. Oh gosh, I don't know. Don't

621
00:31:55,000 --> 00:31:57,080
Speaker 1: to me. Yeah, and don't do that to the listener either,

622
00:31:57,160 --> 00:32:02,520
Speaker 1: because thank you. Yeah. All right, So let's get to

623
00:32:02,560 --> 00:32:04,600
Speaker 1: this now. I promised you this. I'm going to deliver

624
00:32:04,960 --> 00:32:08,520
Speaker 1: Texans running back situation. Look, Philip Lindsay, I'm excited about him.

625
00:32:08,520 --> 00:32:10,360
Speaker 1: We saw him at OTA's. Look he didn't see him

626
00:32:10,400 --> 00:32:12,800
Speaker 1: hit anybody or get hit by anybody. But he looked

627
00:32:12,840 --> 00:32:15,080
Speaker 1: spry and that was good. You know, when he's healthy,

628
00:32:15,280 --> 00:32:18,840
Speaker 1: he's good, and you hope he stays healthy. Obviously, mark Ingram,

629
00:32:19,080 --> 00:32:22,160
Speaker 1: we'll see him out here soon enough. I don't know

630
00:32:22,200 --> 00:32:24,800
Speaker 1: about Rex Burkhead. Maybe still on the mend here, but

631
00:32:25,120 --> 00:32:28,120
Speaker 1: let's see what we get out of him. Obviously, David

632
00:32:28,200 --> 00:32:31,680
Speaker 1: Johnson coming back is interesting because you had those three

633
00:32:31,760 --> 00:32:33,640
Speaker 1: games where he had one hundred and thirty yards plus

634
00:32:33,680 --> 00:32:36,360
Speaker 1: from scribbage. In those last three contests. He looked different,

635
00:32:36,400 --> 00:32:37,920
Speaker 1: looked like a different player at the end of the year,

636
00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:41,440
Speaker 1: looked like he was really jelly with the entire offensive

637
00:32:41,560 --> 00:32:44,040
Speaker 1: unit and Johnny and I. This is a little snippet

638
00:32:44,240 --> 00:32:46,760
Speaker 1: of an interview we did with him. We asked David

639
00:32:46,840 --> 00:32:49,880
Speaker 1: Johnson what the difference was at the end of the

640
00:32:49,960 --> 00:32:52,880
Speaker 1: year when the production amped up. I think the biggest

641
00:32:52,920 --> 00:32:55,320
Speaker 1: thing for me was I got to talk to a psychologist.

642
00:32:55,680 --> 00:32:59,760
Speaker 1: I mean, really focus more on my ability now worrying

643
00:32:59,800 --> 00:33:02,560
Speaker 1: so much about what's going on outside of my control.

644
00:33:02,600 --> 00:33:04,320
Speaker 1: And that's what he told me. Man control what I

645
00:33:04,360 --> 00:33:06,840
Speaker 1: can control, do what I can and be positive. I

646
00:33:06,840 --> 00:33:10,000
Speaker 1: think that's another big thing. And just be positive when

647
00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:12,360
Speaker 1: you start having negative thoughts or saying negative things to

648
00:33:12,480 --> 00:33:16,680
Speaker 1: start manifesting into bad things, obviously, So I started doing

649
00:33:16,680 --> 00:33:20,960
Speaker 1: that a lot more and really just doing everything I

650
00:33:21,040 --> 00:33:24,520
Speaker 1: can to try to keep my body healthy and mentally

651
00:33:24,600 --> 00:33:28,280
Speaker 1: be strong. How tough, David, was it for you to

652
00:33:28,320 --> 00:33:31,920
Speaker 1: make the change from Arizona to come here, especially with

653
00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:33,920
Speaker 1: all of us going on last year with COVID and

654
00:33:34,320 --> 00:33:37,000
Speaker 1: SUE meetings and all that. I'm not not making excuses

655
00:33:37,040 --> 00:33:39,320
Speaker 1: for anything or making or forcing you to do that,

656
00:33:39,400 --> 00:33:41,880
Speaker 1: but what was How difficult was that to make the

657
00:33:41,960 --> 00:33:44,080
Speaker 1: change from the only NFL team you had known to

658
00:33:44,120 --> 00:33:46,320
Speaker 1: come to a totally new situation that you came to

659
00:33:46,440 --> 00:33:49,080
Speaker 1: last year. It was very different. It was very hard

660
00:33:49,360 --> 00:33:52,120
Speaker 1: at the very beginning because it wasn't just me coming.

661
00:33:52,120 --> 00:33:54,080
Speaker 1: It was my family, have two kids and a wife,

662
00:33:54,640 --> 00:33:56,680
Speaker 1: and we were trying to come in the middle of

663
00:33:56,720 --> 00:33:59,160
Speaker 1: the pandemic, and I was trying to set up you know,

664
00:33:59,240 --> 00:34:03,080
Speaker 1: the pediatric, a doctor, everything, trying to get a house

665
00:34:03,560 --> 00:34:06,240
Speaker 1: and it's not like you can just walk into to

666
00:34:06,360 --> 00:34:10,480
Speaker 1: view houses anymore. It's all virtual, so everyone's getting used

667
00:34:10,520 --> 00:34:13,000
Speaker 1: to being on zoom and stuff. And I think that

668
00:34:13,040 --> 00:34:16,000
Speaker 1: was the hardest thing is actually outside of football, um

669
00:34:16,160 --> 00:34:18,880
Speaker 1: learning playbooks. You know, when you become a veteran, you

670
00:34:18,920 --> 00:34:22,520
Speaker 1: learn playbooks pretty well. You know, football football is always

671
00:34:22,600 --> 00:34:25,480
Speaker 1: usually the same, just wordings different. And so for me

672
00:34:25,520 --> 00:34:28,680
Speaker 1: it was just that my family and getting them all settled.

673
00:34:29,080 --> 00:34:31,520
Speaker 1: And I think the thing that for me that was

674
00:34:31,560 --> 00:34:34,640
Speaker 1: hard as well as learning the guys, seeing them on

675
00:34:34,640 --> 00:34:37,280
Speaker 1: on zoom is not the same as meeting him in person.

676
00:34:37,680 --> 00:34:40,720
Speaker 1: So when I first got here and meeting him really

677
00:34:40,760 --> 00:34:43,279
Speaker 1: for the first time during practice, it was really hard

678
00:34:43,320 --> 00:34:46,600
Speaker 1: to like know guys face, you know, get to know

679
00:34:46,719 --> 00:34:49,200
Speaker 1: them well and know their characteristics and stuff like that.

680
00:34:49,239 --> 00:34:52,000
Speaker 1: And so even you know, we did zoom all the

681
00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:54,320
Speaker 1: way through OTAs, but I felt like I still was

682
00:34:54,320 --> 00:34:55,960
Speaker 1: on a new team when I first got here for

683
00:34:56,080 --> 00:34:59,279
Speaker 1: training camp and getting to meet the guys and just

684
00:34:59,280 --> 00:35:01,480
Speaker 1: seeing how everyone and you know plays, you know, what

685
00:35:01,600 --> 00:35:03,759
Speaker 1: their strengths, what their weaknesses are, how they play, what

686
00:35:03,880 --> 00:35:06,000
Speaker 1: motivates them, you know, how you talk to him during

687
00:35:06,040 --> 00:35:08,359
Speaker 1: games and stuff like that. That is probably the hardest thing.

688
00:35:09,600 --> 00:35:12,799
Speaker 1: There's David Johnson, new to this team last year now.

689
00:35:12,880 --> 00:35:15,160
Speaker 1: Also new to this team last year was one of

690
00:35:15,160 --> 00:35:18,640
Speaker 1: the receivers Randall Cobb. Johnny we have some breaking news

691
00:35:18,680 --> 00:35:22,640
Speaker 1: here to report. Yes, from the source himself on Twitter,

692
00:35:23,120 --> 00:35:26,880
Speaker 1: Randall Cobb. And I've looked at that's that's his Twitter handle.

693
00:35:27,040 --> 00:35:30,359
Speaker 1: It's not. It's got a blue check mark. Yeah, and

694
00:35:30,440 --> 00:35:33,200
Speaker 1: it just says I'm coming home. It's a picture of

695
00:35:33,280 --> 00:35:36,160
Speaker 1: him and his green Bay Packers number eighteen, Jersey. So

696
00:35:36,760 --> 00:35:39,520
Speaker 1: apparently a deal has been made, Randall Cobb going back

697
00:35:39,640 --> 00:35:42,080
Speaker 1: to green Bay. We'll see what the deal is, what

698
00:35:42,200 --> 00:35:44,239
Speaker 1: the Packers have coming back. And I got to thinking

699
00:35:44,239 --> 00:35:46,520
Speaker 1: about this. I was listening to Sean and Seth Mark

700
00:35:46,600 --> 00:35:48,680
Speaker 1: on the way up here, and I started thinking the

701
00:35:48,719 --> 00:35:54,120
Speaker 1: Texans trade for Miller was from the Bears. Texas got

702
00:35:54,280 --> 00:35:58,480
Speaker 1: Miller in a seventh for a fifth of twenty twenty two. Right,

703
00:35:58,640 --> 00:36:01,000
Speaker 1: So if they move Cobb, who knows what they're gonna get.

704
00:36:01,080 --> 00:36:05,720
Speaker 1: I don't know, but it almost becomes almost becomes in essence,

705
00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:10,359
Speaker 1: Miller in a seventh for cop right, in essence, I mean,

706
00:36:10,719 --> 00:36:12,600
Speaker 1: you know, obviously, I know it's different teams and all that,

707
00:36:12,640 --> 00:36:15,560
Speaker 1: but that's in essence what this becomes is a younger,

708
00:36:16,160 --> 00:36:20,600
Speaker 1: more athletic player with a seventh rounder for Randall. I mean,

709
00:36:20,600 --> 00:36:22,800
Speaker 1: we'll see in Randall's coming off An injury. But Randall

710
00:36:22,800 --> 00:36:27,319
Speaker 1: Cobb tweeted four minutes ago, now I'm coming home. His

711
00:36:27,400 --> 00:36:29,520
Speaker 1: picture in a Green Bay Packers jersey. So apparently that

712
00:36:29,560 --> 00:36:32,520
Speaker 1: deal is done and the cop contract definitely comes into

713
00:36:32,560 --> 00:36:35,440
Speaker 1: play when you're figuring what the value absolutely is going

714
00:36:35,480 --> 00:36:39,640
Speaker 1: back toward green Bay coming here obviously, because they are

715
00:36:39,640 --> 00:36:43,320
Speaker 1: taking that on. And as far as the Aaron Rodgers

716
00:36:43,560 --> 00:36:46,399
Speaker 1: chemistry goes up there with Davante Adams and his other

717
00:36:46,400 --> 00:36:49,520
Speaker 1: pass catchers, he clearly wants to work with Randall Cops

718
00:36:49,600 --> 00:36:51,920
Speaker 1: and I think it's maybe beyond that. I can't speak

719
00:36:52,000 --> 00:36:54,800
Speaker 1: for him obviously, but having a guy like Randall Cob around.

720
00:36:54,840 --> 00:36:57,360
Speaker 1: We talked to Randall Cop. He's a terrific guy. Obviously,

721
00:36:57,400 --> 00:36:59,440
Speaker 1: did not go well for him here. He made some plays,

722
00:36:59,480 --> 00:37:01,160
Speaker 1: but it did not go well for him here. But

723
00:37:01,360 --> 00:37:03,600
Speaker 1: he goes back to Green Bay where he's comfortable. They're

724
00:37:03,680 --> 00:37:05,319
Speaker 1: very comfortable with him. We'll see how it works out

725
00:37:05,360 --> 00:37:07,279
Speaker 1: for him at best of luck. Well, with all that

726
00:37:07,400 --> 00:37:11,120
Speaker 1: was going on last night, we left the building. I

727
00:37:11,120 --> 00:37:14,759
Speaker 1: don't know, six is six something, six fifteen or so. Yeah,

728
00:37:14,800 --> 00:37:16,960
Speaker 1: I came out here and just decided to bake a

729
00:37:16,960 --> 00:37:18,839
Speaker 1: little bit, yeah, you know, just to get used to, well,

730
00:37:18,840 --> 00:37:20,879
Speaker 1: I went to go put my connects on down where

731
00:37:20,920 --> 00:37:22,759
Speaker 1: we put them all as we walk in. As I

732
00:37:22,800 --> 00:37:25,640
Speaker 1: was walking, I was going to put that back on

733
00:37:25,640 --> 00:37:27,640
Speaker 1: the tray as they can trace me throughout practice and

734
00:37:27,680 --> 00:37:30,400
Speaker 1: where I am. As I was walking, I saw one individual.

735
00:37:30,440 --> 00:37:32,000
Speaker 1: It's really only one in the other the individual of

736
00:37:32,000 --> 00:37:34,600
Speaker 1: the service lab one is Randall. And I debated whether

737
00:37:34,640 --> 00:37:37,800
Speaker 1: I should say something like and that's what made COVID

738
00:37:37,840 --> 00:37:40,160
Speaker 1: last year so weird, Like we didn't even we're there

739
00:37:40,160 --> 00:37:42,239
Speaker 1: all year, but we never got a chance to meet him.

740
00:37:43,160 --> 00:37:45,480
Speaker 1: And so I just as I had seen him throughout

741
00:37:45,480 --> 00:37:48,000
Speaker 1: the summer, I just said, I said, hey, rand know

742
00:37:48,000 --> 00:37:50,560
Speaker 1: how you doing. He was nice, And my guess is

743
00:37:50,600 --> 00:37:52,040
Speaker 1: I mean he was walking somewhere. I don't know where

744
00:37:52,040 --> 00:37:53,239
Speaker 1: he was going, but the first time we had seen

745
00:37:53,280 --> 00:37:56,319
Speaker 1: him in a building. So official Randall Cobb going back

746
00:37:56,320 --> 00:37:59,440
Speaker 1: to Green Bay. Okay, next up Nick Casserio live for

00:43:41,160 --> 00:43:43,520
Speaker 1: what it is. It's as awkward. It's one of these things. Yeah,

841
00:43:43,600 --> 00:43:46,319
Speaker 1: and this always comes up when talking about Premier League

842
00:43:46,320 --> 00:43:50,040
Speaker 1: soccer teams and talking about Manchester City are here, and

843
00:43:50,120 --> 00:43:54,560
Speaker 1: it always blows my mind like oh eight no, so yeah,

844
00:43:54,600 --> 00:43:56,400
Speaker 1: I think the media are here. You're right. I used

845
00:43:56,400 --> 00:43:58,280
Speaker 1: to be a stickler, but I think it's sports. Everything

846
00:43:58,400 --> 00:44:01,960
Speaker 1: is okay. How about this. You have members of the

847
00:44:02,000 --> 00:44:04,360
Speaker 1: media are here. There you go, that's easier, all right.

848
00:44:04,360 --> 00:44:06,200
Speaker 1: I think Sario is making his way over to the

849
00:44:06,280 --> 00:44:09,799
Speaker 1: podium as we'll have him live here in just a

850
00:44:09,880 --> 00:44:13,480
Speaker 1: moment and we'll find out what he has to say

851
00:44:13,480 --> 00:44:16,720
Speaker 1: about numerous things related to this team heading into training

852
00:44:16,719 --> 00:44:22,280
Speaker 1: camp number twenty in the history of the franchise, Randall

853
00:44:22,360 --> 00:44:25,400
Speaker 1: Cobb deal done. According to Randall himself. Let's hear from

854
00:44:25,440 --> 00:44:30,560
Speaker 1: the general manager now is he addresses the media making

855
00:44:30,600 --> 00:44:37,439
Speaker 1: his way to the microphone. Morning, Welcome to training camp.

856
00:44:37,520 --> 00:44:41,319
Speaker 1: Appreciate everybody being here. Take a couple of minutes, talk

857
00:44:41,400 --> 00:44:43,200
Speaker 1: through a couple of different things, and then we'll kind

858
00:44:43,200 --> 00:44:45,400
Speaker 1: of get into a little bit of Q and A.

859
00:44:45,960 --> 00:44:48,399
Speaker 1: But I would just say, first off, appreciate everybody being here.

860
00:44:49,160 --> 00:44:51,040
Speaker 1: A lot of work by a lot of people has

861
00:44:51,080 --> 00:44:53,520
Speaker 1: gone in to get us to this point. I would say,

862
00:44:53,520 --> 00:44:56,880
Speaker 1: the players are excited, the team's excited, the organizations excited.

863
00:44:56,880 --> 00:44:59,480
Speaker 1: We're all excited to be here. My arms excited. We'll

864
00:44:59,520 --> 00:45:02,239
Speaker 1: see if we help them maintain that performance throughout the

865
00:45:02,239 --> 00:45:05,120
Speaker 1: course of camp here. But you know, We've done some

866
00:45:05,200 --> 00:45:08,520
Speaker 1: things during the off season, made some modifications to the facility.

867
00:45:08,680 --> 00:45:11,200
Speaker 1: As some of you may have seen kind of online

868
00:45:11,800 --> 00:45:14,920
Speaker 1: appreciative of support of ownership on the capital commitments they

869
00:45:15,000 --> 00:45:18,000
Speaker 1: made with the new locker room, training space, with all

870
00:45:18,080 --> 00:45:21,239
Speaker 1: that design really to give the players and staff of

871
00:45:21,280 --> 00:45:24,640
Speaker 1: the resources they need to be successful and given the opportunity,

872
00:45:25,600 --> 00:45:27,160
Speaker 1: you know, go out there and perform to the best

873
00:45:27,200 --> 00:45:30,000
Speaker 1: of their ability. So, you know, training camps here, it's

874
00:45:30,000 --> 00:45:32,800
Speaker 1: a great opportunity for us to get started. You know,

875
00:45:32,840 --> 00:45:35,080
Speaker 1: a couple of things that I think are relevant right now.

876
00:45:35,160 --> 00:45:37,640
Speaker 1: Just I would say that we're dealing with that, teams

877
00:45:37,680 --> 00:45:40,239
Speaker 1: are dealing with I would say there's been a lot

878
00:45:40,239 --> 00:45:43,560
Speaker 1: of discussion and questions about COVID, the vaccine, kind of

879
00:45:43,560 --> 00:45:47,040
Speaker 1: that situation. I would just say the league has done

880
00:45:47,040 --> 00:45:50,480
Speaker 1: a great job putting protocols in place with the goal

881
00:45:50,480 --> 00:45:52,719
Speaker 1: in the intent to give every team and opportunity to

882
00:45:52,760 --> 00:45:55,200
Speaker 1: be functional from a workflow standpoint. So that's the most

883
00:45:55,239 --> 00:45:58,640
Speaker 1: important thing. Relative to the vaccine. I would just say

884
00:45:58,680 --> 00:46:01,120
Speaker 1: what Joe Judge said about that yesterday, I think we'll

885
00:46:01,239 --> 00:46:04,160
Speaker 1: spot on it's not about picking sides, you know, it's

886
00:46:04,200 --> 00:46:07,000
Speaker 1: about educating the players it's about providing them the information

887
00:46:07,000 --> 00:46:10,359
Speaker 1: and the resources. And the reality is, as we've all seen,

888
00:46:10,480 --> 00:46:13,120
Speaker 1: COVID is with us a lot of research, a lot

889
00:46:13,160 --> 00:46:15,520
Speaker 1: of medical professionals. It spent a lot of time on this,

890
00:46:15,600 --> 00:46:18,759
Speaker 1: and right now the delta strain is as contagious as

891
00:46:18,800 --> 00:46:21,120
Speaker 1: any strain that's out there. So I think it's important

892
00:46:21,160 --> 00:46:23,440
Speaker 1: for all of us to maintain, you know, vigilance, be

893
00:46:23,560 --> 00:46:26,640
Speaker 1: smart about how we're handling everything. We're gonna be smart,

894
00:46:26,680 --> 00:46:28,920
Speaker 1: and I think we're gonna be flexible relative too if

895
00:46:28,920 --> 00:46:31,840
Speaker 1: we have to make some modifications. So the building is

896
00:46:31,880 --> 00:46:34,120
Speaker 1: set up a certain way right now. If we get

897
00:46:34,120 --> 00:46:35,720
Speaker 1: to the point where we have to make some changes,

898
00:46:35,760 --> 00:46:38,800
Speaker 1: then we'll modify and make some adjustments. ARREA players have

899
00:46:38,920 --> 00:46:41,080
Speaker 1: done a great job responding and handling the workflow and

900
00:46:41,120 --> 00:46:44,600
Speaker 1: the workload. And again, I think we're making some progress

901
00:46:44,600 --> 00:46:48,360
Speaker 1: just on the vaccine front, so we're in a pretty

902
00:46:48,360 --> 00:46:52,960
Speaker 1: good position. So again, it's not about picking sides. It's

903
00:46:52,960 --> 00:46:55,359
Speaker 1: an individual choice. Our job and our goal is to

904
00:46:55,400 --> 00:46:58,360
Speaker 1: create you know, as healthier work environment and flow for

905
00:46:58,400 --> 00:47:02,680
Speaker 1: everybody involved on the roster. As you all know, it's

906
00:47:02,719 --> 00:47:05,280
Speaker 1: a pretty fluid situation, so it just kind of commented

907
00:47:05,320 --> 00:47:06,640
Speaker 1: on some of the things that I've taken place the

908
00:47:06,719 --> 00:47:09,440
Speaker 1: past few days. So we made a few transaction trader

909
00:47:09,440 --> 00:47:13,239
Speaker 1: for Anthony Miller to receiver from Chicago, and the corresponding

910
00:47:13,320 --> 00:47:16,839
Speaker 1: move was to drop Mitch from the roster, released Ante

911
00:47:16,920 --> 00:47:19,600
Speaker 1: Moncrief yesterday, who wasn't given be ready to participate in

912
00:47:19,640 --> 00:47:21,920
Speaker 1: training camp. And I'd say we're kind of working through

913
00:47:21,960 --> 00:47:24,279
Speaker 1: a situation relative to Randall Cob. I know some of

914
00:47:24,320 --> 00:47:27,480
Speaker 1: that's been reported. There's probably there's a few moving pieces

915
00:47:27,520 --> 00:47:29,479
Speaker 1: on that, So I don't really want to comment about

916
00:47:29,480 --> 00:47:32,600
Speaker 1: anything kind of being complete and come to fruition, but

917
00:47:32,680 --> 00:47:34,560
Speaker 1: I would say the roster is kind of a day

918
00:47:34,560 --> 00:47:37,200
Speaker 1: to day endeavor. I'm probably gonna give a little shameless

919
00:47:37,200 --> 00:47:39,279
Speaker 1: plug here for the guys at six ten. Maybe you

920
00:47:39,360 --> 00:47:41,640
Speaker 1: guys can take a poll and say how many roster

921
00:47:41,719 --> 00:47:44,160
Speaker 1: transactions are the Houston Texans gonna have over and under

922
00:47:44,200 --> 00:47:46,399
Speaker 1: between now and start a training camp, and I'll maybe

923
00:47:46,400 --> 00:47:48,080
Speaker 1: give a hundred bucks to the winner, so you guys

924
00:47:48,160 --> 00:47:51,600
Speaker 1: can handle that however you wanted. But again, there's always

925
00:47:51,640 --> 00:47:53,760
Speaker 1: gonna be a lot of movement on and off the roster.

926
00:47:53,840 --> 00:47:56,960
Speaker 1: We have fifty new players. Again, it's a great opportunity

927
00:47:56,960 --> 00:47:58,840
Speaker 1: for everybody to kind of get started. The goal for

928
00:47:58,960 --> 00:48:01,160
Speaker 1: training camp is for everybody establish their level of performance.

929
00:48:01,200 --> 00:48:04,040
Speaker 1: We're not going to predetermine everything. Nobody has a defined role.

930
00:48:04,239 --> 00:48:06,040
Speaker 1: We're gonna go out there and let the players kind

931
00:48:06,040 --> 00:48:08,600
Speaker 1: of take care of themselves and that'll sort itself out.

932
00:48:09,120 --> 00:48:14,120
Speaker 1: I'd say we probably have about seventy nine players that'll

933
00:48:14,160 --> 00:48:16,080
Speaker 1: be kind of working, and then we got some other

934
00:48:16,120 --> 00:48:19,319
Speaker 1: players that are a different categories relative to whatever their

935
00:48:19,320 --> 00:48:21,920
Speaker 1: health status is. So again, we're not necessarily going to

936
00:48:22,000 --> 00:48:23,959
Speaker 1: give kind of a day to day report about who's

937
00:48:24,000 --> 00:48:26,080
Speaker 1: doing what, who's where. Everybody has a process and a

938
00:48:26,120 --> 00:48:28,520
Speaker 1: protocol that they're following, and the goal is to get

939
00:48:28,520 --> 00:48:30,520
Speaker 1: everybody out there at some points they're can participate in,

940
00:48:30,520 --> 00:48:32,399
Speaker 1: performed to the best of their ability, and give them

941
00:48:32,400 --> 00:48:36,120
Speaker 1: a chance to compete for a roster spot. One other comment,

942
00:48:36,160 --> 00:48:37,960
Speaker 1: I would say, probably a little bit more personal of them,

943
00:48:37,960 --> 00:48:41,319
Speaker 1: maybe for some of y'all here in the media, just

944
00:48:42,120 --> 00:48:43,879
Speaker 1: the tragic loss of coaching Nap. I know a coach

945
00:48:43,960 --> 00:48:45,960
Speaker 1: Nap was here a little bit in Houston. Some of

946
00:48:46,000 --> 00:48:48,799
Speaker 1: you maybe had a better relationship than others. But I

947
00:48:48,840 --> 00:48:50,560
Speaker 1: think it's a great reminder for all of us on

948
00:48:50,719 --> 00:48:52,839
Speaker 1: really the fragility of life and what's in front of us,

949
00:48:52,840 --> 00:48:55,520
Speaker 1: and that the reality is we're not guaranteeing anything. We're

950
00:48:55,520 --> 00:48:58,000
Speaker 1: not We're guaranteed today, but we're not guaranteed much beyond that.

951
00:48:58,120 --> 00:49:00,400
Speaker 1: So you know, our thoughts and prayers with the now family,

952
00:49:00,440 --> 00:49:03,080
Speaker 1: to the Jets or organization. I would say my memory

953
00:49:03,080 --> 00:49:05,360
Speaker 1: a coach nap. Really when you think of the scouting combine,

954
00:49:05,400 --> 00:49:07,920
Speaker 1: he's really been a kind of prominent fixture with the quarterbacks.

955
00:49:08,040 --> 00:49:09,520
Speaker 1: Kind of everything to kind of started with him, So

956
00:49:09,560 --> 00:49:12,279
Speaker 1: when you watch a quarterback drills, so again, I think

957
00:49:12,280 --> 00:49:14,040
Speaker 1: it's just a great reminder for all of us we

958
00:49:14,080 --> 00:49:16,959
Speaker 1: can't take anything for granted, and we're only guaranteed today.

959
00:49:17,040 --> 00:49:19,760
Speaker 1: And you know, certainly our thoughts are with his family

960
00:49:19,840 --> 00:49:22,320
Speaker 1: and you know the Jets or organization you know as well.

961
00:49:23,239 --> 00:49:26,040
Speaker 1: You know, i'd say on the Shawn's situation, and there'll

962
00:49:26,040 --> 00:49:27,680
Speaker 1: probably be a lot of questions about that, I would

963
00:49:27,680 --> 00:49:30,280
Speaker 1: say my comments about that, or he reported for training

964
00:49:30,320 --> 00:49:32,000
Speaker 1: camp the other day. I know the league but put

965
00:49:32,000 --> 00:49:34,000
Speaker 1: out a statement and made some comments about where they

966
00:49:34,000 --> 00:49:37,520
Speaker 1: are in that process. And again, I think from our perspective,

967
00:49:37,560 --> 00:49:40,120
Speaker 1: it's a day to day endeavor. You know, we're gonna

968
00:49:40,120 --> 00:49:42,640
Speaker 1: take the information, we're going to process that. We're respectful

969
00:49:42,680 --> 00:49:45,799
Speaker 1: of everybody and everything that's involved. So we'll kind of

970
00:49:45,800 --> 00:49:47,440
Speaker 1: take it one day at a time, and you know,

971
00:49:47,480 --> 00:49:49,400
Speaker 1: ultimately we're gonna do what we feel as best, you know,

972
00:49:49,440 --> 00:49:52,400
Speaker 1: for the Houston Texans. I'm sure there'll be some questions

973
00:49:52,440 --> 00:49:54,400
Speaker 1: and now there's been a lot of speculation about what

974
00:49:54,440 --> 00:49:57,200
Speaker 1: the Texans will do, buy a lot of different scenarios,

975
00:49:57,239 --> 00:49:59,480
Speaker 1: I mean, quite frankly, I mean a lot of its speculation.

976
00:49:59,480 --> 00:50:01,760
Speaker 1: I'm not going to comment all about a bosher rumors

977
00:50:01,800 --> 00:50:04,239
Speaker 1: about what we've done, what we're gonna do, what the

978
00:50:04,280 --> 00:50:06,239
Speaker 1: plan is like, That's not what I'm gonna do. That's

979
00:50:06,239 --> 00:50:08,759
Speaker 1: not my responsibility. The reason I was brought here by

980
00:50:08,800 --> 00:50:10,799
Speaker 1: the McNair families to do what I feel is best

981
00:50:10,800 --> 00:50:13,480
Speaker 1: for the Houston Texas organization on a day to day basis,

982
00:50:13,520 --> 00:50:16,080
Speaker 1: and that's my responsibility to ownership, that's my responsibility to

983
00:50:16,120 --> 00:50:18,880
Speaker 1: the players, and that's my responsibility to the coaching staff.

984
00:50:18,920 --> 00:50:21,120
Speaker 1: So that's how we're going to handle it, Okay, So

985
00:50:21,800 --> 00:50:23,960
Speaker 1: you know that we'll take some questions here for a

986
00:50:23,960 --> 00:50:28,759
Speaker 1: few minutes and then we'll kind of get moving. Yeah,

987
00:50:28,800 --> 00:50:31,120
Speaker 1: I'm not going to get into an individual discussion about

988
00:50:31,160 --> 00:50:34,359
Speaker 1: who's gonna be doing what. Again, everybody will go out there.

989
00:50:34,480 --> 00:50:36,120
Speaker 1: You know, whatever they're gonna do, they're gonna do. And

990
00:50:36,120 --> 00:50:38,000
Speaker 1: I'm not going to comment about somebody. You know what

991
00:50:38,000 --> 00:50:40,319
Speaker 1: they're gonna do on a day to day basis. It's

992
00:50:40,360 --> 00:50:42,200
Speaker 1: not your decision to make. But you just spend five

993
00:50:42,200 --> 00:50:45,279
Speaker 1: minutes talking about everything. You're the GM whose decision does

994
00:50:45,320 --> 00:50:47,040
Speaker 1: it to make about what de Shaun Watson does with

995
00:50:47,080 --> 00:50:49,040
Speaker 1: this team. Again, we're gonna do what we feel as

996
00:50:49,080 --> 00:50:51,160
Speaker 1: best for the organization on a day to day basis.

997
00:50:51,160 --> 00:50:53,760
Speaker 1: So again it's a collective effort. I mean, between myself

998
00:50:53,760 --> 00:50:55,960
Speaker 1: and David Colley, we're gonna talk about everything each day

999
00:50:56,120 --> 00:50:57,520
Speaker 1: and then we're gonna do what we feel as best

1000
00:50:57,640 --> 00:51:00,000
Speaker 1: is the best interest of this team for Deshaun Watson

1001
00:51:00,080 --> 00:51:01,640
Speaker 1: to be around this team right now. Again, I'm not

1002
00:51:01,640 --> 00:51:04,200
Speaker 1: going to get into speculation about what's right what's not. Again,

1003
00:51:04,239 --> 00:51:05,719
Speaker 1: the most important thing for us is do what we

1004
00:51:05,760 --> 00:51:07,520
Speaker 1: feels best, and the most important thing is for the

1005
00:51:07,520 --> 00:51:10,239
Speaker 1: players to go out there and get themselves ready to play.

1006
00:51:10,280 --> 00:51:12,440
Speaker 1: So whatever that entails, whatever that look like, looks like

1007
00:51:12,480 --> 00:51:14,279
Speaker 1: That's what I was gonna do with everything going. I mean,

1008
00:51:14,360 --> 00:51:16,640
Speaker 1: Sean Watson is a national story and you're not you're

1009
00:51:16,680 --> 00:51:19,000
Speaker 1: not giving any update about his status with your team

1010
00:51:19,000 --> 00:51:21,400
Speaker 1: when he's under ross. Again, it's my responsibility is to

1011
00:51:21,440 --> 00:51:24,080
Speaker 1: the players versus foremost in the organization, and that's you know,

1012
00:51:24,080 --> 00:51:26,360
Speaker 1: that's where it's going to be. How is he engaged

1013
00:51:26,400 --> 00:51:30,359
Speaker 1: with the coaches and yourself? Yeah, I mean i'd say

1014
00:51:30,360 --> 00:51:32,200
Speaker 1: we've had conversations. I'm not going to get into the

1015
00:51:32,280 --> 00:51:35,600
Speaker 1: nature of those conversations. Again. Um, he's here. Um, you know,

1016
00:51:35,640 --> 00:51:37,600
Speaker 1: he's been in meetings, he went through the conditioning test,

1017
00:51:37,680 --> 00:51:39,520
Speaker 1: you know, just like cover many other players that we

1018
00:51:39,560 --> 00:51:41,120
Speaker 1: had that we're here. So again, we're gonna take it

1019
00:51:41,160 --> 00:51:43,200
Speaker 1: one day at time, ed, Um, you know, we're gonna

1020
00:51:43,239 --> 00:51:47,160
Speaker 1: do what he feels best on a day to day basis. Again,

1021
00:51:47,200 --> 00:51:49,000
Speaker 1: I'm not going to comment about who's gonna be out here,

1022
00:51:49,000 --> 00:51:50,719
Speaker 1: who's gonna be doing what? John, you know, we're gonna

1023
00:51:50,760 --> 00:51:52,520
Speaker 1: go out here, We're gonna prepare for practice and then

1024
00:51:52,760 --> 00:51:54,040
Speaker 1: you know, let's just take it one day at a time,

1025
00:51:54,080 --> 00:51:59,560
Speaker 1: one period at a time. Part of meting everybody had

1026
00:51:59,560 --> 00:52:01,640
Speaker 1: a report date, you know, and uh, you know that

1027
00:52:01,760 --> 00:52:03,600
Speaker 1: was noted for. The players are notified of what their

1028
00:52:03,640 --> 00:52:06,480
Speaker 1: reporting date was, so everybody knew when they were scheduled

1029
00:52:06,480 --> 00:52:08,880
Speaker 1: their report, so you know, everybody knew what was expected

1030
00:52:08,920 --> 00:52:14,520
Speaker 1: on that front. Yeah. No, our players and staff have

1031
00:52:14,640 --> 00:52:17,440
Speaker 1: done a great job. I mean focusing on what they

1032
00:52:17,480 --> 00:52:20,360
Speaker 1: can control, which is their job, which is their individual performance,

1033
00:52:20,360 --> 00:52:22,759
Speaker 1: which is their individual skill development and you know, their

1034
00:52:22,800 --> 00:52:24,600
Speaker 1: development as a player. Again, kind of where we are

1035
00:52:24,600 --> 00:52:26,760
Speaker 1: a training camp and this week is kind of unique.

1036
00:52:26,880 --> 00:52:29,440
Speaker 1: We're in this kind of ramp up period. There's no pads,

1037
00:52:29,880 --> 00:52:31,960
Speaker 1: you know, it's helmets. You know, we're going to go

1038
00:52:32,000 --> 00:52:34,360
Speaker 1: through practice like we normally do. But the most important

1039
00:52:34,360 --> 00:52:36,920
Speaker 1: thing for each player, each person is to focus on

1040
00:52:36,960 --> 00:52:39,440
Speaker 1: themselves and the things that they can control. Again, we

1041
00:52:39,480 --> 00:52:41,080
Speaker 1: have fifty new player or whatever it is. I mean,

1042
00:52:41,120 --> 00:52:43,440
Speaker 1: you guys have done account probably better than I have.

1043
00:52:43,560 --> 00:52:45,640
Speaker 1: But we have a lot of new players. So their

1044
00:52:45,680 --> 00:52:48,319
Speaker 1: responsibilities for themselves to each other, to go out there

1045
00:52:48,360 --> 00:52:50,719
Speaker 1: and just do their job, impair themselves to play. Again,

1046
00:52:50,760 --> 00:52:53,480
Speaker 1: the roster construction, what that looks like again. Between now,

1047
00:52:53,520 --> 00:52:55,400
Speaker 1: I mean we play a game and what is it

1048
00:52:55,520 --> 00:52:58,120
Speaker 1: seventeen days or something like that, So we have twelve

1049
00:52:58,160 --> 00:53:00,560
Speaker 1: to thirteen practices, so we have a lot to get

1050
00:53:00,600 --> 00:53:02,279
Speaker 1: done in a short period of time. So the most

1051
00:53:02,280 --> 00:53:04,120
Speaker 1: important thing is for the players to focus on the

1052
00:53:04,120 --> 00:53:06,799
Speaker 1: things that they can controls and tell you guys that

1053
00:53:06,880 --> 00:53:09,759
Speaker 1: he again, that does not Yeah, I'm not going to

1054
00:53:09,800 --> 00:53:12,440
Speaker 1: comment on what's been communicated with conversations we've had. I

1055
00:53:12,440 --> 00:53:14,440
Speaker 1: think that's more of a private you know, I respect

1056
00:53:14,520 --> 00:53:16,680
Speaker 1: everybody involved. I think that's you know, the most important

1057
00:53:16,719 --> 00:53:21,000
Speaker 1: thing is to keep it between ourselves. Physical conditioning, Yeah,

1058
00:53:21,000 --> 00:53:23,160
Speaker 1: i'd say I'd say most of our team looks like

1059
00:53:23,200 --> 00:53:26,160
Speaker 1: they're ready to go. I'd say, you know, mostly, I

1060
00:53:26,239 --> 00:53:28,439
Speaker 1: think just about everybody you know, pass the conditioning test,

1061
00:53:28,480 --> 00:53:31,040
Speaker 1: which is kind of one measure of their physical performance,

1062
00:53:31,040 --> 00:53:32,839
Speaker 1: and what that says is whether or not they're they're

1063
00:53:32,840 --> 00:53:35,359
Speaker 1: ready to practice. So um, again, the players have worked

1064
00:53:35,360 --> 00:53:37,480
Speaker 1: hard in the offseason that kind of prepare themselves. Again,

1065
00:53:37,520 --> 00:53:39,359
Speaker 1: are things going to happen out here in the practice field?

1066
00:53:39,360 --> 00:53:42,440
Speaker 1: And absolutely so. Again, the most important thing is getting

1067
00:53:42,480 --> 00:53:44,560
Speaker 1: themselves physically ready to play. And again, the way the

1068
00:53:44,600 --> 00:53:47,719
Speaker 1: practices are structured, the way the league has put in

1069
00:53:47,719 --> 00:53:50,359
Speaker 1: place for the CBA, it gives everybody kind of an

1070
00:53:50,400 --> 00:53:52,719
Speaker 1: opportunity with some of the jaded and jaggett kind of

1071
00:53:52,719 --> 00:53:55,839
Speaker 1: offseason program. So again, where the team is now, most

1072
00:53:55,840 --> 00:53:58,040
Speaker 1: players are in condition, most are ready to go. You know,

1073
00:53:58,080 --> 00:54:00,840
Speaker 1: we'll have to monitor, you know, workload and level of

1074
00:54:00,840 --> 00:54:03,080
Speaker 1: performance and those types of things on a regular basis,

1075
00:54:03,239 --> 00:54:05,319
Speaker 1: and that's what we'll do. But the players out are

1076
00:54:05,320 --> 00:54:07,520
Speaker 1: here are ready to practice um and then you know,

1077
00:54:07,560 --> 00:54:13,680
Speaker 1: we'll take it one day at a time to decide

1078
00:54:13,719 --> 00:54:17,040
Speaker 1: about the situation, like what are the main venture considerate,

1079
00:54:18,440 --> 00:54:20,839
Speaker 1: what is the best that you talked about, what's best

1080
00:54:20,880 --> 00:54:25,440
Speaker 1: for the organization. I come to as far as just

1081
00:54:25,560 --> 00:54:29,600
Speaker 1: you're talking about an individual basis or just yeah, again,

1082
00:54:29,680 --> 00:54:32,560
Speaker 1: it's not about one person or one individual. I think

1083
00:54:32,560 --> 00:54:34,919
Speaker 1: our focus is on our team and always doing what's

1084
00:54:34,920 --> 00:54:36,640
Speaker 1: in the best interests of our team. And you know

1085
00:54:36,640 --> 00:54:38,920
Speaker 1: that's how we're going to handle it. Again, I would say,

1086
00:54:38,960 --> 00:54:40,960
Speaker 1: there's always a lot that go into these things. And

1087
00:54:41,000 --> 00:54:43,319
Speaker 1: again and look, every team is dealing with different things,

1088
00:54:43,360 --> 00:54:44,960
Speaker 1: I would say when you looked around the league, so

1089
00:54:45,000 --> 00:54:48,120
Speaker 1: we're no different. So again, we talk about everything. David

1090
00:54:48,160 --> 00:54:50,240
Speaker 1: and I talk about everything on a day to day basis,

1091
00:54:50,320 --> 00:54:52,040
Speaker 1: and you know we're gonna go out there in h

1092
00:54:52,160 --> 00:54:53,560
Speaker 1: day just try to do what we feel is best

1093
00:54:53,600 --> 00:54:59,239
Speaker 1: for us. Uh. I'm not going to get into the percentage. John.

1094
00:54:59,280 --> 00:55:01,520
Speaker 1: What I would say is, I'd say we've made progress

1095
00:55:01,600 --> 00:55:04,879
Speaker 1: from the spring relative to where we are now. So, um,

1096
00:55:04,880 --> 00:55:07,560
Speaker 1: we're making progress. Um. Again, I don't want necessarily get

1097
00:55:07,600 --> 00:55:10,880
Speaker 1: into percentages because some of that is it's pretty fluidous

1098
00:55:10,920 --> 00:55:12,960
Speaker 1: relative to the dates and the timing of one that

1099
00:55:13,000 --> 00:55:16,040
Speaker 1: actually comes to fruition. So I'd say we've made progress

1100
00:55:16,040 --> 00:55:19,399
Speaker 1: from the spring. Um, we're on track. I think we're

1101
00:55:19,400 --> 00:55:22,200
Speaker 1: in a decent position. So you know, each day we'll

1102
00:55:22,200 --> 00:55:28,080
Speaker 1: probably get more information as we go. Part me. I

1103
00:55:28,120 --> 00:55:36,400
Speaker 1: would not expect him to be out here note starting quarterback. Yeah. Again,

1104
00:55:36,520 --> 00:55:39,320
Speaker 1: we really haven't talked about anybody relative to who's a

1105
00:55:39,360 --> 00:55:42,160
Speaker 1: starter who's not. Again, everybody's gonna get a lot of reps.

1106
00:55:42,200 --> 00:55:44,400
Speaker 1: We're gonna mix and match the groups. You know, everybody's

1107
00:55:44,440 --> 00:55:46,120
Speaker 1: gonna get the same. I would say this is really

1108
00:55:46,120 --> 00:55:48,799
Speaker 1: our first time to kind of evaluate, you know, our

1109
00:55:48,840 --> 00:55:51,120
Speaker 1: team OTAs or ota. So now we're gonna get into

1110
00:55:51,120 --> 00:55:54,080
Speaker 1: a little bit more Okay, individual group drill seven on seven,

1111
00:55:54,120 --> 00:55:57,000
Speaker 1: so we're gonna see more. We're gonna have more information. Again,

1112
00:55:57,280 --> 00:55:59,640
Speaker 1: everybody's gonna get X number of reps. At some point

1113
00:55:59,640 --> 00:56:01,759
Speaker 1: we'll have to make a decision about who sits where

1114
00:56:01,760 --> 00:56:04,160
Speaker 1: and who goes where. I would say day one is

1115
00:56:04,200 --> 00:56:07,200
Speaker 1: really not the place to determine that. So it's not

1116
00:56:07,239 --> 00:56:09,640
Speaker 1: about our starters, it's not about whose role. It's about

1117
00:56:09,680 --> 00:56:12,040
Speaker 1: the players going out there and just establishing their level

1118
00:56:12,040 --> 00:56:16,520
Speaker 1: of performance. That's the most important thing. Hold on one

1119
00:56:16,560 --> 00:56:22,200
Speaker 1: at a time, go ahead business all season. Yeah, I'd

1120
00:56:22,239 --> 00:56:23,759
Speaker 1: say with a lot of the new players that have

1121
00:56:23,880 --> 00:56:26,479
Speaker 1: come in, um, their attitudes have been good, they worked hard.

1122
00:56:26,560 --> 00:56:28,279
Speaker 1: You know, we had a four week period there where

1123
00:56:28,280 --> 00:56:30,520
Speaker 1: we're able to get some things accomplished. So m again,

1124
00:56:30,560 --> 00:56:33,239
Speaker 1: everybody's here now, UM in training camp, so we'll get

1125
00:56:33,239 --> 00:56:36,439
Speaker 1: a better barometer is to where people might be. So again,

1126
00:56:36,480 --> 00:56:38,920
Speaker 1: i'd say just the construction of the team as we

1127
00:56:38,960 --> 00:56:40,600
Speaker 1: sit here today. We have a lot of guys that have,

1128
00:56:41,120 --> 00:56:43,960
Speaker 1: you know, certain level of experience in the league. So again,

1129
00:56:44,480 --> 00:56:46,840
Speaker 1: now that we're kind of starting over, like that's not

1130
00:56:46,960 --> 00:56:48,920
Speaker 1: as germane and as relevant, So all we can go

1131
00:56:49,040 --> 00:56:51,680
Speaker 1: is based off of what we see here. So again,

1132
00:56:51,719 --> 00:56:53,840
Speaker 1: the most important thing here and is for for everybody

1133
00:56:53,920 --> 00:56:55,480
Speaker 1: just to kind of focus on what they can do

1134
00:56:55,520 --> 00:57:00,680
Speaker 1: and what they can handle and ends in situation handling anything.

1135
00:57:00,719 --> 00:57:03,400
Speaker 1: How much does noise or distraction factor in or is

1136
00:57:03,400 --> 00:57:05,280
Speaker 1: that just something you just have to put to decide

1137
00:57:05,280 --> 00:57:09,600
Speaker 1: and focus on. Yeah, it's a great question. Um, I'd

1138
00:57:09,640 --> 00:57:12,680
Speaker 1: say just generally speaking, society, there's probably a lot of

1139
00:57:12,719 --> 00:57:15,520
Speaker 1: noise on an external basis. I think one of the

1140
00:57:15,600 --> 00:57:19,080
Speaker 1: things that that we've you know, been consistent about is

1141
00:57:19,120 --> 00:57:21,240
Speaker 1: kind of focusing on what goes on in our building

1142
00:57:21,280 --> 00:57:23,600
Speaker 1: and the things that we can control, you know, which

1143
00:57:23,640 --> 00:57:26,320
Speaker 1: is our effort, which is our attitude, which is our meeting,

1144
00:57:26,440 --> 00:57:29,240
Speaker 1: which is preparing for practice. So again, our players and

1145
00:57:29,280 --> 00:57:31,640
Speaker 1: staff have done a great job. Um, I would say

1146
00:57:31,720 --> 00:57:34,160
Speaker 1: the attitude in the building, um has been great, kind

1147
00:57:34,200 --> 00:57:36,400
Speaker 1: of going even going back to January when you know

1148
00:57:36,440 --> 00:57:39,080
Speaker 1: I first arrived. So again, I like the most important

1149
00:57:39,080 --> 00:57:40,880
Speaker 1: thing is for us to focus on what's going on

1150
00:57:40,960 --> 00:57:42,880
Speaker 1: inside the building. And again there's always going to be

1151
00:57:42,960 --> 00:57:46,840
Speaker 1: things externally that that are said or noise as your reference,

1152
00:57:46,880 --> 00:57:48,640
Speaker 1: But again, it's not our job to kind of get

1153
00:57:48,640 --> 00:57:50,280
Speaker 1: caught up in that. At least that's not you know,

1154
00:57:50,240 --> 00:57:52,000
Speaker 1: I'd kind of wouldn't be doing my job if I

1155
00:57:52,080 --> 00:58:02,320
Speaker 1: was kind of worried about you know, some of those things. Yeah. Again,

1156
00:58:02,480 --> 00:58:05,040
Speaker 1: like everybody had a reporting day and the expectation was

1157
00:58:05,080 --> 00:58:06,920
Speaker 1: that you know, the players would report, so you know

1158
00:58:06,960 --> 00:58:09,720
Speaker 1: that was you know, and you know everybody had their

1159
00:58:09,760 --> 00:58:11,280
Speaker 1: time that they were going to be in the building.

1160
00:58:11,360 --> 00:58:13,680
Speaker 1: So you know we have However, many players are here

1161
00:58:13,760 --> 00:58:16,120
Speaker 1: right now. I think it's eighty eight is shading out

1162
00:58:16,160 --> 00:58:18,560
Speaker 1: whatever it is relative to the roster. So um again,

1163
00:58:18,640 --> 00:58:20,520
Speaker 1: it's where we are for today and we're moving forward.

1164
00:58:20,600 --> 00:58:25,960
Speaker 1: So take maybe taking out can you give us your quarterbacks?

1165
00:58:25,960 --> 00:58:31,280
Speaker 1: Are taular positions to so much focus on it anybody. Yeah, again,

1166
00:58:31,360 --> 00:58:33,360
Speaker 1: I think the performance will It's hard for me to

1167
00:58:33,360 --> 00:58:35,000
Speaker 1: sit here and say, well, this is what I think

1168
00:58:35,080 --> 00:58:37,440
Speaker 1: right now. So again, we've assembled the team. We've added

1169
00:58:37,440 --> 00:58:40,800
Speaker 1: players to the team that again cross positions with variety

1170
00:58:40,800 --> 00:58:44,200
Speaker 1: different backgrounds, variety of different levels of experience. Um again,

1171
00:58:44,440 --> 00:58:45,760
Speaker 1: our job is to go out here and kind of

1172
00:58:45,800 --> 00:58:48,200
Speaker 1: valuate what we see moving forward. Again, can't have any

1173
00:58:48,200 --> 00:58:51,800
Speaker 1: preconceived notions, and we've communicated this to the players and like, respectfully,

1174
00:58:51,800 --> 00:58:54,080
Speaker 1: it's not about what's happened in the past. You're gonna

1175
00:58:54,080 --> 00:58:55,800
Speaker 1: be judged on what happens moving forward. And I think

1176
00:58:55,800 --> 00:58:58,440
Speaker 1: the players understand that, and you're gonna hold themselves accountant

1177
00:58:58,440 --> 00:59:02,320
Speaker 1: fat fresh starts and doing things that are the best

1178
00:59:02,320 --> 00:59:04,840
Speaker 1: interested in the organization. You mentioned several times a day

1179
00:59:05,120 --> 00:59:07,520
Speaker 1: back to Watson, though, is a distraction and the best

1180
00:59:07,640 --> 00:59:11,480
Speaker 1: interests the organization at this point when you're trying to start, Yeah,

1181
00:59:11,480 --> 00:59:13,120
Speaker 1: I would just speak. I don't want to speak for

1182
00:59:13,160 --> 00:59:16,240
Speaker 1: anybody else, but it really hasn't been a distraction, and

1183
00:59:16,520 --> 00:59:18,520
Speaker 1: you know, we don't think it will be a distraction. Again.

1184
00:59:18,560 --> 00:59:20,400
Speaker 1: I think our staff and players have done a great

1185
00:59:20,440 --> 00:59:22,760
Speaker 1: job of focus on the things that you know, our

1186
00:59:22,840 --> 00:59:25,640
Speaker 1: germain and relevant to them, which is their individual performance

1187
00:59:25,680 --> 00:59:28,560
Speaker 1: and their individual jobs. So again, I again I don't

1188
00:59:28,560 --> 00:59:30,800
Speaker 1: want to speak for too many people, but I would

1189
00:59:30,840 --> 00:59:32,840
Speaker 1: say to answer your question, it really is not It

1190
00:59:33,000 --> 00:59:36,200
Speaker 1: hasn't been a distraction. So maybe one more the fact

1191
00:59:36,200 --> 00:59:41,240
Speaker 1: that he's here again, we'll take the information each day. Again,

1192
00:59:41,320 --> 00:59:43,520
Speaker 1: it's not a distraction for the team. Our players have

1193
00:59:43,560 --> 00:59:46,120
Speaker 1: done a great job with their attitude and approach. So again,

1194
00:59:46,240 --> 00:59:49,000
Speaker 1: they're professionals and they're going to handle things the right way,

1195
00:59:49,040 --> 00:59:51,439
Speaker 1: which quite frankly, they've done all the way up until

1196
00:59:51,440 --> 00:59:55,200
Speaker 1: this point. Okay, all right, guys have a good day.

1197
00:59:55,560 --> 00:59:59,560
Speaker 1: There's Nick Kissario who is at the podium and now

1198
00:59:59,560 --> 01:00:01,800
Speaker 1: he's gonna walk right over here to our broadcast tent

1199
01:00:01,960 --> 01:00:05,760
Speaker 1: at the Houston Methodist Training Center and have a conversation

1200
01:00:05,800 --> 01:00:09,919
Speaker 1: with us as the Texans get their first practice under

1201
01:00:10,000 --> 01:00:13,640
Speaker 1: way of training camp number twenty in the history of

1202
01:00:13,680 --> 01:00:15,960
Speaker 1: the franchise. And here he is General manager Nick Assari,

1203
01:00:16,040 --> 01:00:19,200
Speaker 1: a long walk for the podium and headphones. Good morning,

1204
01:00:19,400 --> 01:00:21,880
Speaker 1: Good morning, John Mark. Well, it's great to see you.

1205
01:00:21,920 --> 01:00:24,320
Speaker 1: And uh, I know you just took thirty seven questions

1206
01:00:24,320 --> 01:00:27,320
Speaker 1: about the quarterback situation, but let's talk about the guys

1207
01:00:27,320 --> 01:00:33,320
Speaker 1: who were here with you. Yeah, well, it's it's over.

1208
01:00:33,880 --> 01:00:36,440
Speaker 1: But we we observed OTAs and the guys who were

1209
01:00:36,480 --> 01:00:39,680
Speaker 1: here with you during OTAs, and I know that you

1210
01:00:39,880 --> 01:00:42,400
Speaker 1: mentioned carving up reps and things like that will be

1211
01:00:42,440 --> 01:00:44,720
Speaker 1: determined on a day to day basis almost, But what

1212
01:00:44,800 --> 01:00:47,440
Speaker 1: kind of practice do we expect today overall? Nick, as

1213
01:00:47,520 --> 01:00:49,320
Speaker 1: this is the first day in and you're not in

1214
01:00:49,360 --> 01:00:51,760
Speaker 1: pads yet. Yeah, it's a great question. So look, the

1215
01:00:51,840 --> 01:00:54,080
Speaker 1: rules are what the rules are relative of the CBA,

1216
01:00:54,200 --> 01:00:55,920
Speaker 1: So this is kind of the ramp up period. So

1217
01:00:56,280 --> 01:00:59,080
Speaker 1: I would say, really, this first week will be essentially

1218
01:00:59,160 --> 01:01:01,800
Speaker 1: an extension of a tas in some respects with the

1219
01:01:01,840 --> 01:01:04,840
Speaker 1: addition of maybe some more team related activities, So from

1220
01:01:04,880 --> 01:01:08,360
Speaker 1: seven on seven to one on ones to team offense

1221
01:01:08,480 --> 01:01:10,520
Speaker 1: versus defense, which we really didn't do much of in

1222
01:01:10,520 --> 01:01:13,720
Speaker 1: the spring. So up till that point everything is probably

1223
01:01:13,760 --> 01:01:16,600
Speaker 1: similar relative to the pace relative to individual even some

1224
01:01:16,640 --> 01:01:18,760
Speaker 1: of the special teams period. And then once we kind

1225
01:01:18,760 --> 01:01:20,040
Speaker 1: of get through that, we can do a little bit

1226
01:01:20,080 --> 01:01:23,800
Speaker 1: more team working against one another lineup call to play,

1227
01:01:23,840 --> 01:01:26,280
Speaker 1: the defense can get the adjustment, see the alignment you

1228
01:01:26,400 --> 01:01:28,480
Speaker 1: getting the huddle call to play. I would say that

1229
01:01:28,520 --> 01:01:30,920
Speaker 1: will be the probably the main difference from the spring

1230
01:01:30,960 --> 01:01:34,960
Speaker 1: relative to now. So again, even without pads, you'll still

1231
01:01:35,000 --> 01:01:37,560
Speaker 1: be able to get enough things done. So we have

1232
01:01:37,600 --> 01:01:40,280
Speaker 1: a few team periods lined up here for practice, so

1233
01:01:40,320 --> 01:01:42,400
Speaker 1: we'll go through that. So again we'll just get more

1234
01:01:42,440 --> 01:01:44,720
Speaker 1: information as we go and then kind of ramp up

1235
01:01:44,760 --> 01:01:47,640
Speaker 1: into the next phase next week when we get ready

1236
01:01:47,680 --> 01:01:50,720
Speaker 1: for padded practices, and then we can work on maybe

1237
01:01:50,720 --> 01:01:52,400
Speaker 1: more of the running games. So some of this will

1238
01:01:52,440 --> 01:01:55,080
Speaker 1: be a little bit more I would say passing emphasis again,

1239
01:01:55,360 --> 01:01:58,240
Speaker 1: how you double team and deuce block and all that on.

1240
01:01:58,360 --> 01:02:01,600
Speaker 1: With talmets and shorts versus when you actually get into

1241
01:02:01,640 --> 01:02:03,600
Speaker 1: a padded practice, you'll be able to see a little

1242
01:02:03,600 --> 01:02:06,760
Speaker 1: bit more. Nick, you've reminded us many times as you've

1243
01:02:06,760 --> 01:02:09,280
Speaker 1: talked with Mark and I about roster management. It's twenty

1244
01:02:09,280 --> 01:02:12,439
Speaker 1: four to seven, three sixty five. It doesn't stop even

1245
01:02:12,440 --> 01:02:14,880
Speaker 1: two days before players are report. You make a deal

1246
01:02:14,920 --> 01:02:17,080
Speaker 1: for Anthony Miller? What can you tell us about Anthony Miller,

1247
01:02:17,400 --> 01:02:20,000
Speaker 1: former Chicago Bearer, former Memphis Tiger. And I'll ask you

1248
01:02:20,000 --> 01:02:22,160
Speaker 1: this you tell us and you told us to draft

1249
01:02:22,240 --> 01:02:25,760
Speaker 1: is overhyped. Okay, but we know that Anthony Miller. I

1250
01:02:25,800 --> 01:02:27,840
Speaker 1: know you spend a lot of time on that and

1251
01:02:27,920 --> 01:02:30,720
Speaker 1: make you feel bad you cut me to the cord, Nick,

1252
01:02:31,320 --> 01:02:33,920
Speaker 1: But how much do you take out of what scouts

1253
01:02:33,960 --> 01:02:35,760
Speaker 1: are able to see of him coming out of Memphis

1254
01:02:36,160 --> 01:02:38,800
Speaker 1: versus what they saw with him in Chicago before you

1255
01:02:38,840 --> 01:02:41,000
Speaker 1: bring him here to Houston. John, It's actually a really

1256
01:02:41,000 --> 01:02:43,960
Speaker 1: good question. And I think you put so much into

1257
01:02:44,040 --> 01:02:47,000
Speaker 1: that college scouting process. So you develop a backlog of

1258
01:02:47,040 --> 01:02:49,800
Speaker 1: information at a a database of information, so you have your

1259
01:02:49,800 --> 01:02:52,640
Speaker 1: evaluations of said player coming out. You know, what are

1260
01:02:52,680 --> 01:02:54,480
Speaker 1: the factors, what we're his skills, what did we think

1261
01:02:54,520 --> 01:02:57,360
Speaker 1: what were our interactions, and then you take that and

1262
01:02:57,360 --> 01:02:58,880
Speaker 1: then we can go back and look at the three

1263
01:02:58,960 --> 01:03:01,919
Speaker 1: years of what he did in Chicago. And again, when

1264
01:03:01,920 --> 01:03:04,360
Speaker 1: you make a transaction, you make a trade, you're taking

1265
01:03:04,400 --> 01:03:06,840
Speaker 1: as much information in as possible wherever it comes from.

1266
01:03:06,880 --> 01:03:10,360
Speaker 1: So it's a good reference point. A more recent reference

1267
01:03:10,360 --> 01:03:12,720
Speaker 1: point would be what they did against NFL competition or

1268
01:03:12,760 --> 01:03:14,960
Speaker 1: what they did in the league. But again, now you're

1269
01:03:15,000 --> 01:03:17,880
Speaker 1: kind of taking that player out of their existing system

1270
01:03:17,880 --> 01:03:19,800
Speaker 1: into a new system. And I would say with a

1271
01:03:19,840 --> 01:03:22,240
Speaker 1: player in his particular case, still be some ketchup work

1272
01:03:22,280 --> 01:03:24,680
Speaker 1: that needs to be done because you didn't have the

1273
01:03:25,120 --> 01:03:27,640
Speaker 1: ability to kind of go through an offseason program. So

1274
01:03:27,880 --> 01:03:29,480
Speaker 1: you know, we'll get him up to speed as quickly

1275
01:03:29,520 --> 01:03:31,800
Speaker 1: as possible and do the best we can. But you

1276
01:03:31,920 --> 01:03:34,680
Speaker 1: take all the information that you have access to and

1277
01:03:34,720 --> 01:03:36,720
Speaker 1: try to use that as a part of your decision

1278
01:03:36,720 --> 01:03:39,080
Speaker 1: making process. I know you said that you have a

1279
01:03:39,080 --> 01:03:41,080
Speaker 1: lot of moving parts with the Cops situation, but looking

1280
01:03:41,080 --> 01:03:44,600
Speaker 1: at the whole group here, Nick, how flexible is it

1281
01:03:44,680 --> 01:03:46,840
Speaker 1: when a guy comes in and people label him, oh,

1282
01:03:46,880 --> 01:03:49,680
Speaker 1: he's a slot receiver, but maybe he can play outside,

1283
01:03:49,720 --> 01:03:52,080
Speaker 1: or maybe an outside guy can play the slot sometimes

1284
01:03:52,080 --> 01:03:55,280
Speaker 1: and we saw Cooks do some short passing game work

1285
01:03:55,400 --> 01:03:58,360
Speaker 1: last year. How important is flexibility in this group? It's

1286
01:03:58,360 --> 01:04:00,840
Speaker 1: a great question, I think sometimes John, you've probably seen

1287
01:04:00,840 --> 01:04:03,160
Speaker 1: this a little bit. Sometimes people get pigeonholed they can

1288
01:04:03,160 --> 01:04:05,360
Speaker 1: only do this. But again, we kind of have to

1289
01:04:05,400 --> 01:04:07,360
Speaker 1: get to take that bias out. What you won't really

1290
01:04:07,400 --> 01:04:09,600
Speaker 1: want to do is present the player of the information,

1291
01:04:10,040 --> 01:04:12,200
Speaker 1: put him in different spots and you might find, you

1292
01:04:12,200 --> 01:04:15,360
Speaker 1: know what, maybe he actually can do something different than

1293
01:04:15,400 --> 01:04:18,240
Speaker 1: we thought. So again, part of our responsibility is to

1294
01:04:18,280 --> 01:04:20,440
Speaker 1: maybe put that player in the position and not just

1295
01:04:20,520 --> 01:04:23,160
Speaker 1: say he's just this or he's just that. You know.

1296
01:04:23,320 --> 01:04:26,520
Speaker 1: So again, the player never played like Nate Solder, you know,

1297
01:04:26,560 --> 01:04:28,200
Speaker 1: going back to my time in New England. You know

1298
01:04:28,240 --> 01:04:29,920
Speaker 1: he was a left tackle and there's a rookie he

1299
01:04:29,920 --> 01:04:32,320
Speaker 1: played right tackle in jumbo tight end. So if you

1300
01:04:32,400 --> 01:04:34,160
Speaker 1: go into it saying, well he can only do this,

1301
01:04:34,440 --> 01:04:37,120
Speaker 1: well you kind of limit your possibility. So again, when

1302
01:04:37,120 --> 01:04:39,600
Speaker 1: you actually get down to the fifty three man roster, okay,

1303
01:04:39,640 --> 01:04:41,919
Speaker 1: you bring x number of let's say receivers to the game,

1304
01:04:42,120 --> 01:04:43,800
Speaker 1: Well you have to be able to back up some spots.

1305
01:04:43,800 --> 01:04:46,120
Speaker 1: So who can handle that job? So That's what part

1306
01:04:46,160 --> 01:04:48,080
Speaker 1: of training camp is for, to see who can handle

1307
01:04:48,120 --> 01:04:50,240
Speaker 1: maybe some of those different responsibilities. I think. I know

1308
01:04:50,280 --> 01:04:52,280
Speaker 1: we're a few weeks away from having to make a

1309
01:04:52,280 --> 01:04:54,760
Speaker 1: cutdown to fifty three. But last year the NFL, because

1310
01:04:54,760 --> 01:04:57,640
Speaker 1: of COVID, open up the practice squad rules, and it

1311
01:04:57,680 --> 01:04:59,320
Speaker 1: looks like they're gonna keep them in place for twenty

1312
01:04:59,360 --> 01:05:02,000
Speaker 1: twenty one. I believe. How does that help you as

1313
01:05:02,120 --> 01:05:04,720
Speaker 1: an evaluator of this roster to make sure, Hey, I've

1314
01:05:04,720 --> 01:05:08,040
Speaker 1: got the right fifty three, but I've got this repository

1315
01:05:08,040 --> 01:05:09,600
Speaker 1: of players that I know I've got to be able

1316
01:05:09,640 --> 01:05:11,640
Speaker 1: to count on. How important is it to have those

1317
01:05:11,720 --> 01:05:14,080
Speaker 1: rules again at twenty twenty one. No, it's a great point.

1318
01:05:14,120 --> 01:05:16,560
Speaker 1: I think. You know, when you go through the roster,

1319
01:05:16,720 --> 01:05:18,840
Speaker 1: everybody kind of gets caught up in fifty three. It's

1320
01:05:18,880 --> 01:05:21,560
Speaker 1: fifty three players. But then when you add another sixteen

1321
01:05:21,640 --> 01:05:23,360
Speaker 1: let's call it whatever, the number is going to be

1322
01:05:23,400 --> 01:05:26,240
Speaker 1: more than likely sixteen. So you're working with call it

1323
01:05:26,400 --> 01:05:30,760
Speaker 1: sixty eight, sixty nine, seventy players in total. Right, So

1324
01:05:31,080 --> 01:05:34,040
Speaker 1: that's your team. Now, who's on who's off the roster? Again?

1325
01:05:34,080 --> 01:05:36,080
Speaker 1: Our goal is to try to keep as many good

1326
01:05:36,080 --> 01:05:38,760
Speaker 1: players in the building as possible. How do you do

1327
01:05:38,800 --> 01:05:41,320
Speaker 1: that and what's the best mechanism to do it? Okay,

1328
01:05:41,360 --> 01:05:43,400
Speaker 1: you have to figure out what makes sense. Okay, did

1329
01:05:43,400 --> 01:05:44,680
Speaker 1: we cut this guy and try to put them on

1330
01:05:44,720 --> 01:05:46,360
Speaker 1: a practice squad or you know, while we're not sure

1331
01:05:46,400 --> 01:05:48,600
Speaker 1: if we can get him there. You know, those are

1332
01:05:48,640 --> 01:05:50,120
Speaker 1: some of the things that will go into some of

1333
01:05:50,120 --> 01:05:51,880
Speaker 1: the psychology as we get a little bit closer. But

1334
01:05:52,280 --> 01:05:55,280
Speaker 1: you're really looking at that group in totality because at

1335
01:05:55,320 --> 01:05:57,920
Speaker 1: any point those players could be active on Sunday at

1336
01:05:57,960 --> 01:06:00,480
Speaker 1: least that's how we're approaching it. Nick, When you look

1337
01:06:00,520 --> 01:06:03,800
Speaker 1: at the scope of camp here and you've taken to

1338
01:06:03,920 --> 01:06:08,320
Speaker 1: consideration the weather, they heat, all of it. How extensive

1339
01:06:08,320 --> 01:06:10,320
Speaker 1: were those meetings and determining how you're going to do

1340
01:06:10,360 --> 01:06:12,520
Speaker 1: business here? Because you have some guys who coached here

1341
01:06:12,560 --> 01:06:14,760
Speaker 1: before and played here before, but you have a lot

1342
01:06:14,760 --> 01:06:16,840
Speaker 1: of guys who didn't. So how did you go about

1343
01:06:16,880 --> 01:06:18,600
Speaker 1: that process? Yeah, it's new for a lot of us,

1344
01:06:18,640 --> 01:06:20,000
Speaker 1: and really what you want to do is try to

1345
01:06:20,120 --> 01:06:22,720
Speaker 1: educate them. So, I mean, our sports performance staff, strength

1346
01:06:22,800 --> 01:06:26,120
Speaker 1: conditioning staff can reiterate some things relative to some of

1347
01:06:26,120 --> 01:06:29,120
Speaker 1: the data shows this. So, but hydration taken care of

1348
01:06:29,120 --> 01:06:31,280
Speaker 1: your body. I mean again, we're practicing in the morning,

1349
01:06:31,680 --> 01:06:35,280
Speaker 1: because practice in the afternoon from a health and safety standpoint,

1350
01:06:35,560 --> 01:06:38,000
Speaker 1: could put players at risk, you know, so you try

1351
01:06:38,080 --> 01:06:39,919
Speaker 1: to do what we feel as best. You know, again,

1352
01:06:39,920 --> 01:06:42,560
Speaker 1: we have the bubble, we have outdoor practice field, so

1353
01:06:42,840 --> 01:06:46,000
Speaker 1: pooling all that information and you look, you can explain

1354
01:06:46,040 --> 01:06:48,360
Speaker 1: it to them and prepare them for it, but then

1355
01:06:48,400 --> 01:06:50,840
Speaker 1: they get out here and it's a totally different situation.

1356
01:06:50,920 --> 01:06:53,120
Speaker 1: So we got to be a diligent monitor. Make sure

1357
01:06:53,200 --> 01:06:55,160
Speaker 1: we're not gonna put anybody at Look, training camp is

1358
01:06:55,160 --> 01:06:57,439
Speaker 1: gonna be hot, it's gonna be hard, it's gonna be tough,

1359
01:06:57,720 --> 01:06:59,640
Speaker 1: it's gonna be difficult. It should be. That's what training

1360
01:06:59,680 --> 01:07:01,120
Speaker 1: camp is. It's time for it. But you also want

1361
01:07:01,120 --> 01:07:02,920
Speaker 1: to make sure you don't put the players in his position,

1362
01:07:03,320 --> 01:07:06,360
Speaker 1: you know, where they're at risk for no particular reason.

1363
01:07:06,480 --> 01:07:09,000
Speaker 1: Along those lines, Nick, I've I've read different coaches and

1364
01:07:09,000 --> 01:07:11,760
Speaker 1: different people talk about what COVID last year taught them

1365
01:07:11,760 --> 01:07:13,440
Speaker 1: and kind of the ramp up to their season. I

1366
01:07:13,480 --> 01:07:15,680
Speaker 1: listen to Matt Campbell talk about a Friday State and

1367
01:07:15,800 --> 01:07:18,439
Speaker 1: some others. Does any of that kind of carry over

1368
01:07:18,480 --> 01:07:21,400
Speaker 1: to this year and maybe using some of the efficiencies

1369
01:07:21,440 --> 01:07:23,800
Speaker 1: found going through that, even though it's a rough situation

1370
01:07:23,840 --> 01:07:26,480
Speaker 1: to take and put it towards this year and the

1371
01:07:26,520 --> 01:07:28,720
Speaker 1: fact you got another week added on to the season.

1372
01:07:28,760 --> 01:07:30,760
Speaker 1: Does any of that kind of carry over any kind

1373
01:07:30,760 --> 01:07:34,080
Speaker 1: of best practices from last year? Absolutely? Absolutely, and we

1374
01:07:34,160 --> 01:07:36,280
Speaker 1: try to incorporate them to the best of our ability.

1375
01:07:36,280 --> 01:07:38,000
Speaker 1: Because again, I mean we just talked about this a

1376
01:07:38,000 --> 01:07:40,120
Speaker 1: few minutes ago with the press. I mean, COVID is

1377
01:07:40,120 --> 01:07:42,160
Speaker 1: still relevant and it's still out there and we're going

1378
01:07:42,200 --> 01:07:44,680
Speaker 1: to be dealing with it and it's probably not going away.

1379
01:07:44,760 --> 01:07:47,560
Speaker 1: So your ability to kind of adapt and adjust on

1380
01:07:47,600 --> 01:07:50,880
Speaker 1: the fly, we have experience doing that. Last year. I

1381
01:07:50,880 --> 01:07:54,920
Speaker 1: think everybody, teams, coaches, staff, the league showed the ability

1382
01:07:55,000 --> 01:07:56,680
Speaker 1: to be able to adjust. So I think you have

1383
01:07:56,720 --> 01:07:59,160
Speaker 1: to be flexible when you're thinking and can't get so

1384
01:07:59,240 --> 01:08:01,880
Speaker 1: caught up and oh man, we can't do this, we

1385
01:08:01,920 --> 01:08:04,160
Speaker 1: can't do that. It's really what can we do. We're

1386
01:08:04,160 --> 01:08:06,320
Speaker 1: not gonna make excuses and we're gonna try to maximize

1387
01:08:06,360 --> 01:08:09,200
Speaker 1: whatever the resources we have. Are are you throwing today, Yeah,

1388
01:08:09,240 --> 01:08:11,640
Speaker 1: how's the way? How's the guy? I'm gonna have to

1389
01:08:11,640 --> 01:08:14,040
Speaker 1: go out there and warm up before practice, So I know,

1390
01:08:14,160 --> 01:08:16,160
Speaker 1: nobody wants to see me throw about. Whatever I could

1391
01:08:16,160 --> 01:08:18,080
Speaker 1: do to help the team, then I'll do that. We

1392
01:08:17,760 --> 01:08:20,960
Speaker 1: got hundred throws a day. Yeah, I don't know. I'm

1393
01:08:21,000 --> 01:08:22,519
Speaker 1: getting a little bit older, so I don't know if

1394
01:08:22,520 --> 01:08:26,439
Speaker 1: I contain that performance. We have video guys ready ready

1395
01:08:26,439 --> 01:08:28,960
Speaker 1: for this act. Sure, the cameras will be on me. Yeah,

1396
01:08:29,000 --> 01:08:31,280
Speaker 1: said there will be a Tell straighter later on. Oh man,

1397
01:08:33,040 --> 01:08:35,120
Speaker 1: a Johnny straighter. All right, Nick, thanks a lot for

1398
01:08:35,200 --> 01:08:37,599
Speaker 1: joining us. Well, thanks, have a great day you too.

1399
01:08:37,760 --> 01:08:42,040
Speaker 1: Nick Cassario, general manager of your Houston Texans, and he

1400
01:08:42,200 --> 01:08:44,200
Speaker 1: just did a big session with the media, did a

1401
01:08:44,200 --> 01:08:47,000
Speaker 1: little session with us, and we'll probably roll some of

1402
01:08:47,040 --> 01:08:49,400
Speaker 1: that later on on Texans All Access tonight with our

1403
01:08:49,520 --> 01:08:52,160
Speaker 1: David Johnson interview. We're having a show meeting right now.

1404
01:08:52,160 --> 01:08:54,519
Speaker 1: I think the David Johnson an interview has to happen tonight.

1405
01:08:54,720 --> 01:08:58,040
Speaker 1: But he obviously I said thirty seven questions. It might

1406
01:08:58,080 --> 01:08:59,679
Speaker 1: have been that. It might have been thirty seven questions

1407
01:08:59,720 --> 01:09:02,080
Speaker 1: about they're a rapid fire at some point. Yeah, And

1408
01:09:02,280 --> 01:09:04,320
Speaker 1: I get it because the media all wants a story.

1409
01:09:04,439 --> 01:09:07,920
Speaker 1: Here's look, I'm part of the media sort of maybe

1410
01:09:07,960 --> 01:09:09,640
Speaker 1: you know, and I've been for a long time. I

1411
01:09:09,680 --> 01:09:11,800
Speaker 1: know I'm with the team now, but you and I

1412
01:09:11,840 --> 01:09:14,920
Speaker 1: always stick to the facts. You know, people always ask us, well,

1413
01:09:14,960 --> 01:09:17,000
Speaker 1: how do you guys address these things? We stick to

1414
01:09:17,000 --> 01:09:20,080
Speaker 1: the facts. You know, Hey, if Watson's here, Watson's here.

1415
01:09:20,160 --> 01:09:24,800
Speaker 1: If he's not, he's not facts. And the situation is

1416
01:09:24,840 --> 01:09:28,639
Speaker 1: though the media, I get why players and coaches are

1417
01:09:28,680 --> 01:09:33,240
Speaker 1: reluctant sometimes to give too much because the shortest little

1418
01:09:33,280 --> 01:09:36,320
Speaker 1: blurb can become a huge headline and it could be

1419
01:09:36,400 --> 01:09:40,880
Speaker 1: buried in a transcript in a press conference and they

1420
01:09:40,880 --> 01:09:44,600
Speaker 1: didn't really mean it to be that of that magnitude,

1421
01:09:44,600 --> 01:09:46,439
Speaker 1: but it becomes that way. Here's a great example. I

1422
01:09:46,520 --> 01:09:48,080
Speaker 1: just read this right before we went on the air.

1423
01:09:48,479 --> 01:09:54,200
Speaker 1: Bruce Arians went off on PFT. Yes, because of something

1424
01:09:54,240 --> 01:09:57,320
Speaker 1: that was on PT Now. PFT is like the game

1425
01:09:57,360 --> 01:10:02,960
Speaker 1: of telephone, right, because Florio will take stories and then

1426
01:10:03,200 --> 01:10:05,519
Speaker 1: put it on his sides, the aggregation side, and then

1427
01:10:05,600 --> 01:10:07,920
Speaker 1: kind of give his thoughts about it. And the way

1428
01:10:07,960 --> 01:10:11,320
Speaker 1: that he quote unquote reported it was not the actual

1429
01:10:11,520 --> 01:10:15,400
Speaker 1: way that it's going because he puts something in there

1430
01:10:15,439 --> 01:10:18,920
Speaker 1: that you would think his innocuous, right, but it's a

1431
01:10:18,960 --> 01:10:20,759
Speaker 1: big deal and it had to do with the wristbands

1432
01:10:20,800 --> 01:10:23,519
Speaker 1: and all that kind of stuff, and arians went off

1433
01:10:23,840 --> 01:10:26,120
Speaker 1: ye yesterday, And there's a part of me it's like,

1434
01:10:26,600 --> 01:10:29,640
Speaker 1: I don't blame him. I don't blame him because somehow

1435
01:10:30,200 --> 01:10:32,400
Speaker 1: there was a report that gets out there and then

1436
01:10:32,400 --> 01:10:34,479
Speaker 1: it gets to Florio, then he aggregates it and puts

1437
01:10:34,479 --> 01:10:37,040
Speaker 1: it out there, and pft, he's got a massive audience

1438
01:10:37,280 --> 01:10:39,720
Speaker 1: and you've played a game of telephone. By the time

1439
01:10:39,720 --> 01:10:42,439
Speaker 1: it gets to the fourth person there, it's not the

1440
01:10:42,600 --> 01:10:45,439
Speaker 1: story is completely changed. And Mike does a really good job,

1441
01:10:45,520 --> 01:10:50,479
Speaker 1: but he does looking for certain things sometimes and and

1442
01:10:50,600 --> 01:10:52,880
Speaker 1: obviously they get blown up. Okay, we're gonna break here

1443
01:10:52,920 --> 01:10:55,760
Speaker 1: because we're a little bit hind in that category. Max

1444
01:10:55,800 --> 01:10:58,439
Speaker 1: sharpin coming up as well. And players not of the

1445
01:10:58,439 --> 01:11:00,479
Speaker 1: field yet by the way, you mentioned they acted early

1446
01:11:00,560 --> 01:11:03,800
Speaker 1: that the meeting. They're coming out here to practice. Some

1447
01:11:03,880 --> 01:11:05,879
Speaker 1: players are out here. In fact, I see the longest

1448
01:11:05,880 --> 01:11:10,400
Speaker 1: tenured Texan making his way over to the midfield area.

1449
01:11:10,439 --> 01:11:12,600
Speaker 1: That would be John Weeks, the long snapper. All right,

1450
01:11:12,600 --> 01:11:15,120
Speaker 1: we'll have more coming up on Texans training Camp Live

1561
01:17:59,800 --> 01:18:02,680
Speaker 1: just a straight jersey jersey? Some of these guys are

1562
01:18:02,680 --> 01:18:05,280
Speaker 1: so jacked up it looks like they're wearing shoulder pads. Okay, well,

1563
01:18:05,320 --> 01:18:08,160
Speaker 1: speaking it jacked up. Not to say that our punters

1564
01:18:08,200 --> 01:18:10,720
Speaker 1: in the past, like Shane Leckler was country strong, now

1565
01:18:11,080 --> 01:18:14,880
Speaker 1: Henry Strong, Matt Turk was pretty jacked. Turk was pretty jacked.

1566
01:18:15,520 --> 01:18:18,320
Speaker 1: I'll put Cam Johnson up against Oh my gosh, yes

1567
01:18:18,600 --> 01:18:23,080
Speaker 1: he is yo. He looks like he's an Australian, So

1568
01:18:23,080 --> 01:18:27,000
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go Jocko. Is that like an eighties reference? Boy?

1569
01:18:27,240 --> 01:18:31,599
Speaker 1: Remember that guy Australian rules football for the hair that's

1570
01:18:31,640 --> 01:18:34,360
Speaker 1: pretty good, you know, to these Australian Rules football players, Like,

1571
01:18:34,400 --> 01:18:36,800
Speaker 1: all right, whatever, he's he's the putter. He probably wants

1572
01:18:36,840 --> 01:18:40,760
Speaker 1: to go hit people. All right, I will pay, I'll

1573
01:18:41,439 --> 01:18:44,479
Speaker 1: I'll pay whatever fine he gets if he lays a

1574
01:18:44,560 --> 01:18:46,400
Speaker 1: lick on somebody. So I got a feeling it's in him.

1575
01:18:46,600 --> 01:18:49,120
Speaker 1: I can't wait for it. I can't wait to watch

1576
01:18:49,160 --> 01:18:53,160
Speaker 1: this unit operate because he and some of the gunners

1577
01:18:53,360 --> 01:18:56,479
Speaker 1: that they have it look not that special team touse.

1578
01:18:56,560 --> 01:18:58,519
Speaker 1: You know how I feel about special teams practice, trying

1579
01:18:58,520 --> 01:19:00,400
Speaker 1: to training catch You're time to check your face? It's

1580
01:19:00,439 --> 01:19:03,240
Speaker 1: my time. It is. It is the veteran band playing

1581
01:19:03,280 --> 01:19:05,680
Speaker 1: stuff from the new album, and I go to the

1582
01:19:05,720 --> 01:19:08,920
Speaker 1: concession stand. All right, I want to hear the greatest hits.

1583
01:19:09,040 --> 01:19:11,200
Speaker 1: I want to see offense defense when they do special

1584
01:19:11,200 --> 01:19:13,679
Speaker 1: teams at camp. Now special teams at a game. Okay,

1585
01:19:13,760 --> 01:19:16,720
Speaker 1: full boat, you got all the activity going on. And look,

1586
01:19:16,760 --> 01:19:19,920
Speaker 1: I'm not leaving the booth ever, but during training camp,

1587
01:19:20,000 --> 01:19:23,120
Speaker 1: that is the time to visit the restroom, check the phone.

1588
01:19:23,240 --> 01:19:25,519
Speaker 1: I do like to see, though, who's lining up as

1589
01:19:25,520 --> 01:19:28,080
Speaker 1: a returner and this team has multiple options there. And

1590
01:19:28,120 --> 01:19:30,800
Speaker 1: I do like to see on this team in this

1591
01:19:30,840 --> 01:19:34,600
Speaker 1: situation who the gunners are, because look, they have a

1592
01:19:34,640 --> 01:19:37,240
Speaker 1: lot of guys they could use there. And they didn't

1593
01:19:37,240 --> 01:19:39,320
Speaker 1: mess around when they were signing all these you know,

1594
01:19:39,479 --> 01:19:44,480
Speaker 1: five hundred players. They went heavy on the special teams, specialists,

1595
01:19:44,560 --> 01:19:46,840
Speaker 1: if you will, guys who were versatile could do I

1596
01:19:46,920 --> 01:19:49,800
Speaker 1: know that's a dirty word sometimes with people. Why is

1597
01:19:49,840 --> 01:19:52,479
Speaker 1: that such a bad word because why do the guys

1598
01:19:52,520 --> 01:19:55,160
Speaker 1: make fun of it on the rest of these shows

1599
01:19:55,240 --> 01:20:00,840
Speaker 1: Here I realized this because essentially the word satile was

1600
01:20:00,920 --> 01:20:06,280
Speaker 1: equated with couldn't do any of those things. But what

1601
01:20:06,400 --> 01:20:09,719
Speaker 1: versatile actually means is you do a number of things well.

1602
01:20:10,200 --> 01:20:14,160
Speaker 1: And I think what happened is it was it became

1603
01:20:15,080 --> 01:20:18,439
Speaker 1: because of that tag being placed on you know, because

1604
01:20:18,600 --> 01:20:21,479
Speaker 1: Charles a menu, he's versatile, right, you can go inside

1605
01:20:21,479 --> 01:20:24,000
Speaker 1: that side, because Charles has shown that he can do that.

1606
01:20:24,560 --> 01:20:26,760
Speaker 1: I think he's better outside and rundowns better inside on

1607
01:20:26,800 --> 01:20:29,599
Speaker 1: pass downs. But there were players and look the first

1608
01:20:29,600 --> 01:20:30,920
Speaker 1: I think the first one that comes to mind for

1609
01:20:30,920 --> 01:20:33,800
Speaker 1: a lot of people, Xavier Sphilo yah Zere guard was

1610
01:20:33,800 --> 01:20:36,160
Speaker 1: he a tackle and the word versatile got broad alone

1611
01:20:36,280 --> 01:20:38,439
Speaker 1: and he obviously was a high second round pick, first

1612
01:20:38,439 --> 01:20:40,639
Speaker 1: pick in the second round, and the tag kept coming

1613
01:20:40,720 --> 01:20:42,400
Speaker 1: verst a verst, the versatile, and then people would watch

1614
01:20:42,479 --> 01:20:45,200
Speaker 1: him and go, well, wait a second, they're bouncing him around,

1615
01:20:45,240 --> 01:20:47,040
Speaker 1: but he's not really good at any of them. And

1616
01:20:47,080 --> 01:20:49,719
Speaker 1: so the word versatile became a negative in that Well,

1617
01:20:49,760 --> 01:20:52,080
Speaker 1: that means you're not good enough to hold one particular

1618
01:20:52,120 --> 01:20:55,040
Speaker 1: spot and play one particular spot. But it needs to

1619
01:20:55,080 --> 01:20:57,479
Speaker 1: be the other way, and that is you want guys

1620
01:20:57,479 --> 01:20:59,559
Speaker 1: that are versatile, that can do a number of things,

1621
01:20:59,560 --> 01:21:02,320
Speaker 1: that can be good at a number of different things.

1622
01:21:02,360 --> 01:21:04,920
Speaker 1: If you're gonna say these guys are versatile, okay, well

1623
01:21:04,920 --> 01:21:06,920
Speaker 1: that does mean he could put his hand down, he

1624
01:21:06,920 --> 01:21:08,880
Speaker 1: can stand up, that he can play in coverage, and

1625
01:21:08,880 --> 01:21:11,920
Speaker 1: he can stop the run, that he can play corner

1626
01:21:11,960 --> 01:21:15,600
Speaker 1: and Nicol like, versatile needs to actually mean what it is,

1627
01:21:15,640 --> 01:21:17,080
Speaker 1: and that is you can be good at a number

1628
01:21:17,080 --> 01:21:19,320
Speaker 1: of different things. Yeah, because if you're not, then guess

1629
01:21:19,360 --> 01:21:22,880
Speaker 1: what you're You're not good. It's not even versatile, it's

1630
01:21:22,920 --> 01:21:25,559
Speaker 1: just you're not very good. So well, that's that's where

1631
01:21:25,600 --> 01:21:29,240
Speaker 1: I think it ended up becoming kind of a talking point,

1632
01:21:29,360 --> 01:21:31,639
Speaker 1: is because the versatile players and the players are getting

1633
01:21:31,640 --> 01:21:33,680
Speaker 1: tagged with that, we're showing they weren't good enough to

1634
01:21:33,680 --> 01:21:36,439
Speaker 1: hold a spot, any spot, any of the one that

1635
01:21:36,439 --> 01:21:39,840
Speaker 1: they could play. Seemingly Philip Lindsay just fist bumped Steve

1636
01:21:39,840 --> 01:21:41,880
Speaker 1: Wish of the NFL net work Here. They have a

1637
01:21:41,880 --> 01:21:45,000
Speaker 1: little interview history between them. Oh yeah, Philip Lindsay. By

1638
01:21:45,040 --> 01:21:46,320
Speaker 1: the way, he didn't miss a day in the waiting

1639
01:21:46,360 --> 01:21:49,679
Speaker 1: room either. Yeah. Oh, look he's he's not the tallest guy.

1640
01:21:49,920 --> 01:21:54,240
Speaker 1: He's quick, he's good, he's look a lot of guys.

1641
01:21:54,560 --> 01:21:55,840
Speaker 1: You have to say this about a lot of guys.

1642
01:21:55,920 --> 01:21:58,360
Speaker 1: If he stays healthy, you know, the if I always

1643
01:21:58,400 --> 01:22:01,439
Speaker 1: say if is the biggest word sports talk radio and

1644
01:22:01,479 --> 01:22:03,960
Speaker 1: just being a sports fan. If this happens, then this

1645
01:22:04,040 --> 01:22:06,160
Speaker 1: could happen, And look, this is why we love this

1646
01:22:06,200 --> 01:22:09,960
Speaker 1: stuff because it's the unknown. But Lindsay is one of

1647
01:22:10,000 --> 01:22:13,280
Speaker 1: those additions on this team that maybe doesn't get talked

1648
01:22:13,280 --> 01:22:17,440
Speaker 1: about enough. This guy, look, it's gonna be a committee situation,

1649
01:22:17,600 --> 01:22:20,640
Speaker 1: or at least a mini committee, but he'll factor in.

1650
01:22:20,720 --> 01:22:22,479
Speaker 1: I mean, if he's healthy, he's playing. I'm sorry he's

1651
01:22:22,479 --> 01:22:25,439
Speaker 1: getting snaps, He's gonna get the rock. I tell you

1652
01:22:25,479 --> 01:22:27,439
Speaker 1: a guy that I think has not not much has

1653
01:22:27,479 --> 01:22:31,679
Speaker 1: been made of and sitting next to him yesterday, we said,

1654
01:22:31,760 --> 01:22:35,599
Speaker 1: when the when the defensive lineman came in our right yesterday,

1655
01:22:35,880 --> 01:22:40,040
Speaker 1: I looked at them and was like, dang, like built

1656
01:22:40,120 --> 01:22:43,240
Speaker 1: completely differently than guys I've seen coming through here. Now.

1657
01:22:43,439 --> 01:22:44,960
Speaker 1: We used to have DJ Reader come through there, but

1658
01:22:45,040 --> 01:22:47,800
Speaker 1: DJ was, he was a DJ is a different dude.

1659
01:22:49,520 --> 01:22:51,960
Speaker 1: Vince was, Vince Wilfork was, you know, kind of well

1660
01:22:52,000 --> 01:22:57,960
Speaker 1: passed his prime. That said, when Vincent Taylor, Jalil Johnson, MALIEK.

1661
01:22:58,080 --> 01:23:02,240
Speaker 1: Collins came into our room yesterday, and I'm sitting next

1662
01:23:02,240 --> 01:23:04,719
Speaker 1: to Millie Collins and I can like, he's got shorts

1663
01:23:04,720 --> 01:23:07,240
Speaker 1: on his thighs are like gonna bust out of his shorts,

1664
01:23:07,240 --> 01:23:10,360
Speaker 1: And I'm like, these guys are built definitely VT Vincent Taylor,

1665
01:23:10,880 --> 01:23:13,400
Speaker 1: My god, he was. He had a sweatshirt on. He

1666
01:23:13,400 --> 01:23:15,599
Speaker 1: had kind of been moving around sweating a little bit,

1667
01:23:15,640 --> 01:23:18,720
Speaker 1: and I mean he just filled out this triple X

1668
01:23:18,760 --> 01:23:23,559
Speaker 1: sweatshirt just massive. So I'm curious to see how those guys,

1669
01:23:23,600 --> 01:23:26,040
Speaker 1: in particular Millie Collins. I think Mollie Collins has got

1670
01:23:26,040 --> 01:23:27,960
Speaker 1: a lot left in his game. I think he's got

1671
01:23:27,960 --> 01:23:29,759
Speaker 1: a lot left in his game. I think he's quick,

1672
01:23:29,800 --> 01:23:33,840
Speaker 1: I think he's athletic. I think for Malik, for even

1673
01:23:34,000 --> 01:23:35,920
Speaker 1: dating back those days in Nebraska, it was all about

1674
01:23:35,960 --> 01:23:39,280
Speaker 1: consistency because at volume ten, Willie Collins is a heck

1675
01:23:39,280 --> 01:23:41,720
Speaker 1: of football player, but the volume can't go down to

1676
01:23:41,760 --> 01:23:43,720
Speaker 1: volume of three or four. He's got to keep that

1677
01:23:43,760 --> 01:23:45,840
Speaker 1: thing cranked at volume ten as much as possible. And look,

1678
01:23:45,880 --> 01:23:48,880
Speaker 1: I know you can't do that as much. But he's

1679
01:23:48,920 --> 01:23:51,240
Speaker 1: the type of player that when he is boy, he

1680
01:23:51,280 --> 01:23:53,120
Speaker 1: can be disruptive. And I think this is the type

1681
01:23:53,160 --> 01:23:56,160
Speaker 1: of defense that would allow him, this type of defensive

1682
01:23:56,160 --> 01:23:57,640
Speaker 1: scheme that would allow him to do this. I think

1683
01:23:57,640 --> 01:23:59,840
Speaker 1: a guy like Willie Collins is someone maybe we don't

1684
01:23:59,800 --> 01:24:03,000
Speaker 1: talk a lot about. You throw in big Z to

1685
01:24:03,160 --> 01:24:07,360
Speaker 1: Malik and Vincent Taylor, there's some size up front. Now

1686
01:24:07,600 --> 01:24:10,640
Speaker 1: there's size big. That was not quite the case the

1687
01:24:10,760 --> 01:24:12,760
Speaker 1: last couple of years. Last year in particular, Well, big

1688
01:24:12,840 --> 01:24:14,400
Speaker 1: Z is a guy who I would have loved to

1689
01:24:14,439 --> 01:24:16,479
Speaker 1: interview yesterday. We'll get a chance to talk to him

1690
01:24:16,520 --> 01:24:18,360
Speaker 1: soon enough. I mean, when you look at this d

1691
01:24:18,520 --> 01:24:21,800
Speaker 1: line and you mentioned some of those guys, Jalil's three

1692
01:24:22,000 --> 01:24:25,519
Speaker 1: sixteenth listed, these listings come on Vincent Taylor three eleven.

1693
01:24:26,439 --> 01:24:29,000
Speaker 1: It was three eleven. I think you know, back when

1694
01:24:29,040 --> 01:24:32,479
Speaker 1: he was a kid, MALIEK Collins three ten. Big Z's

1695
01:24:32,560 --> 01:24:37,280
Speaker 1: listed at three twenty. Yeah, it's not like your college

1696
01:24:37,320 --> 01:24:41,880
Speaker 1: basketball roster where they tend to inflate the heights of dudes. Yeah,

1697
01:24:41,960 --> 01:24:46,080
Speaker 1: although Marcus Canby when I was at U match, we

1698
01:24:46,120 --> 01:24:47,760
Speaker 1: listed him at six to eleven. I thought he was

1699
01:24:47,800 --> 01:24:51,240
Speaker 1: seven feet But anyway, I digress. Big Z listed at

1700
01:24:51,240 --> 01:24:55,240
Speaker 1: three twenty. I don't know. That must be before breakfast. Okay,

1701
01:24:55,320 --> 01:24:58,479
Speaker 1: have you seen any quarterbacks yet, Johnny, I'm looking. It's

1702
01:24:58,560 --> 01:25:03,640
Speaker 1: quarterback watch. Yeah, they're walking across people and obviously the

1703
01:25:03,680 --> 01:25:07,240
Speaker 1: player everybody is wondering about number four to Shaun Watson

1704
01:25:07,360 --> 01:25:10,479
Speaker 1: is in Jersey and out of practice. Okay, he's out

1705
01:25:10,479 --> 01:25:14,240
Speaker 1: of practice. So yeah, I can see the media. It's

1706
01:25:14,240 --> 01:25:17,720
Speaker 1: almost like um when you're tacking a gigantic sailboat and

1707
01:25:17,760 --> 01:25:19,840
Speaker 1: everyone goes from one side to the other. As he

1708
01:25:19,960 --> 01:25:23,439
Speaker 1: crossed to go to the other field, he's had his

1709
01:25:23,520 --> 01:25:25,760
Speaker 1: jersey on. He's now jogging and took his jersey off.

1710
01:25:25,800 --> 01:25:29,240
Speaker 1: So we'll see, we'll see what happens at this particular point.

1711
01:25:29,320 --> 01:25:31,680
Speaker 1: But he was he did have his red jersey on,

1712
01:25:31,760 --> 01:25:34,439
Speaker 1: his red number four on and going across the field.

1713
01:25:34,439 --> 01:25:36,880
Speaker 1: So listen, this is gonna be something that we're gonna

1714
01:25:36,880 --> 01:25:38,519
Speaker 1: we're gonna have to talk about whether we like it

1715
01:25:38,600 --> 01:25:41,120
Speaker 1: or not. We have not talked about it throughout the

1716
01:25:41,120 --> 01:25:44,600
Speaker 1: off season because obviously the legal situation became the overbearing

1717
01:25:44,640 --> 01:25:46,960
Speaker 1: part of it, and it's still it's still there. But

1718
01:25:47,240 --> 01:25:49,519
Speaker 1: you got the training camp, and now it becomes a

1719
01:25:49,520 --> 01:25:51,200
Speaker 1: part of training camp and a part of the season

1720
01:25:51,280 --> 01:25:54,400
Speaker 1: for as long as he is here, how long his

1721
01:25:54,479 --> 01:25:57,400
Speaker 1: career is, and if you joined us late. Nick Kissirio

1722
01:25:57,520 --> 01:26:00,879
Speaker 1: met with the media and answered dozens of questions about Watson,

1723
01:26:00,960 --> 01:26:03,120
Speaker 1: but did he answer them. He just said it's a

1724
01:26:03,240 --> 01:26:05,800
Speaker 1: matter that they're handling. They're gonna do the best thing

1725
01:26:05,840 --> 01:26:09,280
Speaker 1: for the organization. They are going to keep things private,

1726
01:26:09,520 --> 01:26:13,000
Speaker 1: and that's basically it. He was asked point blank whether

1727
01:26:13,160 --> 01:26:15,720
Speaker 1: Watson requested a trade or not, and he said, we

1728
01:26:15,760 --> 01:26:18,760
Speaker 1: don't really talk about those things, so that's it. He

1729
01:26:18,800 --> 01:26:22,800
Speaker 1: has taken some practice snaps without a jersey on right now.

1730
01:26:22,840 --> 01:26:25,640
Speaker 1: These are just practice snaps with the centers, snap at

1731
01:26:25,680 --> 01:26:28,600
Speaker 1: the ball and nothing else around, just air. All right,

Speaker 1: we'll keep you posted. We're gonna be back here at

1804
01:30:54,520 --> 01:30:57,120
Speaker 1: that US players are big and strong, and they're playing

1805
01:30:57,120 --> 01:30:59,840
Speaker 1: football requires us to be pretty tough. However, that isn't

1806
01:31:00,240 --> 01:31:02,840
Speaker 1: We haven't had to deal with bullying before. If you're

1807
01:31:02,920 --> 01:31:06,559
Speaker 1: someone you know is being bullied, be yourself, use your voice,

1862
01:34:03,160 --> 01:34:05,840

1863
01:34:05,880 --> 01:34:08,200
Speaker 1: into year three? Was the big focus for you? I

1864
01:34:08,200 --> 01:34:10,439
Speaker 1: saw you in a building a lot this summer, So

1865
01:34:10,479 --> 01:34:13,000
Speaker 1: what was the focus for you this offseason to get

1866
01:34:13,000 --> 01:34:15,240
Speaker 1: ready for year three? Yeah, I mean I think it

1867
01:34:15,280 --> 01:34:19,200
Speaker 1: was just uh, you know, trying to build up a

1868
01:34:19,200 --> 01:34:21,040
Speaker 1: little bit of strength, get used to the to the

1869
01:34:21,080 --> 01:34:23,000
Speaker 1: heat down here. I mean, obviously last year it was

1870
01:34:23,000 --> 01:34:24,519
Speaker 1: different being out of the building, so I kind of

1871
01:34:24,560 --> 01:34:28,519
Speaker 1: wanted to stick around, you know, keep keep my mind,

1872
01:34:28,760 --> 01:34:33,599
Speaker 1: you know, present in the building in Houston. Yeah, absolutely important. Hey,

1873
01:34:33,600 --> 01:34:35,920
Speaker 1: we're going to Green Bay again, reminiscent of your rookie

1874
01:34:36,000 --> 01:34:39,200
Speaker 1: year where you started out your first preseason game experience.

1875
01:34:39,240 --> 01:34:40,920
Speaker 1: Thoughts on going back. I know it'll be a shorter

1876
01:34:40,960 --> 01:34:43,040
Speaker 1: trip this time. Yeah, I'll be shorter, but it'll still

1877
01:34:43,080 --> 01:34:45,120
Speaker 1: be good. You know, Obviously, anytime you get to go

1878
01:34:45,120 --> 01:34:47,360
Speaker 1: back to your hometown, it's it's a good time. So

1879
01:34:47,840 --> 01:34:50,400
Speaker 1: I'm super excited. You know, it's a special place for

1880
01:34:50,479 --> 01:34:52,639
Speaker 1: me and you know, for football in general. So I'm

1881
01:34:52,760 --> 01:34:56,320
Speaker 1: very excited. Had you ever been on Lambeau Field. Prior

1882
01:34:56,400 --> 01:34:58,439
Speaker 1: to playing in that game as a rookie, I had

1883
01:34:58,520 --> 01:35:01,080
Speaker 1: not Actually that was the first So it's very cool,

1884
01:35:01,160 --> 01:35:03,360
Speaker 1: very cool. That's very cool to being just to have

1885
01:35:03,400 --> 01:35:05,479
Speaker 1: those How much pressure did you feel? I mean, I

1886
01:35:05,520 --> 01:35:07,439
Speaker 1: know it's the preseason game one, but you're rookie, you

1887
01:35:07,560 --> 01:35:09,280
Speaker 1: got a ton of families. How much pressure did you

1888
01:35:09,320 --> 01:35:13,800
Speaker 1: feel for that night? Uh? Honestly, I mean we had

1889
01:35:13,840 --> 01:35:16,360
Speaker 1: been practicing against them for a little bit, so actually

1890
01:35:16,360 --> 01:35:19,320
Speaker 1: the game wasn't wasn't too much pressure. Um. I was

1891
01:35:19,360 --> 01:35:22,320
Speaker 1: more just kind of excited to see you know who

1892
01:35:22,400 --> 01:35:24,160
Speaker 1: all came out with my family and stuff like that

1893
01:35:24,200 --> 01:35:26,080
Speaker 1: after the game, and you know it, it was cool

1894
01:35:26,160 --> 01:35:28,960
Speaker 1: seeing all of them support and wearing uh Texas stuff

1895
01:35:29,000 --> 01:35:32,280
Speaker 1: in Lambeau instead of all of the packer here. All right,

1896
01:35:32,360 --> 01:35:35,479
Speaker 1: So here we are with a new offensive line. Coach

1897
01:35:35,600 --> 01:35:38,519
Speaker 1: tell us about James camping Man, I mean another guy

1898
01:35:38,520 --> 01:35:40,919
Speaker 1: who came from Green Bay. Yeah, I love it. Um,

1899
01:35:40,960 --> 01:35:44,360
Speaker 1: you know, he's he's great, he's uh, he's really uh,

1900
01:35:44,479 --> 01:35:46,840
Speaker 1: you know, getting the guys to gel together, I think,

1901
01:35:46,880 --> 01:35:50,519
Speaker 1: and sending a tone about who who we're going to

1902
01:35:50,560 --> 01:35:53,679
Speaker 1: be as as an offensive line, as as an offense,

1903
01:35:53,720 --> 01:35:56,280
Speaker 1: as a team. UM, so I think, you know, having

1904
01:35:56,280 --> 01:35:58,600
Speaker 1: a guy who who played in the league himself for

1905
01:35:58,680 --> 01:36:01,719
Speaker 1: a long time and has than coaching for an extremely

1906
01:36:01,760 --> 01:36:04,640
Speaker 1: long time. Um has coached some of the greats in

1907
01:36:04,680 --> 01:36:07,639
Speaker 1: the game. You know. I mean, it's uh, it's awesome.

1908
01:36:08,160 --> 01:36:11,599
Speaker 1: The chemistry between the guys up front. First of all,

1909
01:36:11,640 --> 01:36:14,280
Speaker 1: how long does it take to create that chemistry and

1910
01:36:14,400 --> 01:36:16,479
Speaker 1: be how important is it to have it to be

1911
01:36:16,520 --> 01:36:19,559
Speaker 1: successful as an offensive line? I mean, you know, I

1912
01:36:19,560 --> 01:36:21,519
Speaker 1: mean a lot of a lot of what we do

1913
01:36:21,640 --> 01:36:23,639
Speaker 1: is you know, helping each other, you know, double teams,

1914
01:36:23,680 --> 01:36:26,400
Speaker 1: pass protection, slides, all that stuff. So I mean having

1915
01:36:26,400 --> 01:36:30,040
Speaker 1: that chemistry with each other is extremely important, and I think, honestly,

1916
01:36:30,080 --> 01:36:32,599
Speaker 1: a lot of it is off the field more than

1917
01:36:32,640 --> 01:36:34,360
Speaker 1: even on the field, because you got to you gotta

1918
01:36:34,400 --> 01:36:36,920
Speaker 1: be able to trust each other, and you gotta know

1919
01:36:37,000 --> 01:36:39,000
Speaker 1: who he is in his background and what he's gonna

1920
01:36:39,000 --> 01:36:42,519
Speaker 1: do in certain situations, and UM that that takes time.

1921
01:36:42,640 --> 01:36:45,160
Speaker 1: But um, you know, I mean I think off the

1922
01:36:45,160 --> 01:36:47,920
Speaker 1: field and meetings and discussing, you know, what he's seeing

1923
01:36:48,120 --> 01:36:50,920
Speaker 1: or what they're seeing. All this stuff, UM, even just

1924
01:36:50,960 --> 01:36:53,600
Speaker 1: talking about or in a walkthrough or something. It's not

1925
01:36:53,640 --> 01:36:57,080
Speaker 1: necessarily all practice that helps obviously, and you need that, UM,

1926
01:36:57,160 --> 01:36:59,320
Speaker 1: but off the field stuff is pretty important to what

1927
01:36:59,360 --> 01:37:01,680
Speaker 1: do you think will be different about the offense this year?

1928
01:37:01,680 --> 01:37:06,000
Speaker 1: Without giving away state secrets and strategy secrets, what's going

1929
01:37:06,080 --> 01:37:07,960
Speaker 1: to be different about what you guys do up front?

1930
01:37:09,439 --> 01:37:11,559
Speaker 1: I think it's like I said, I think it's you know,

1931
01:37:11,680 --> 01:37:15,160
Speaker 1: with Campy coming in, it's it's a lot about a mentality.

1932
01:37:15,520 --> 01:37:17,759
Speaker 1: And I think that's that's what's going to be different

1933
01:37:17,800 --> 01:37:21,120
Speaker 1: this year. UM, just the mentality and the way we're

1934
01:37:21,120 --> 01:37:24,519
Speaker 1: gonna go about, you know, practice games. Everything is going

1935
01:37:24,600 --> 01:37:26,720
Speaker 1: to be all all the mentality. It is just gonna

1936
01:37:26,720 --> 01:37:28,760
Speaker 1: be a little bit different. As you've gotten into your

1937
01:37:28,800 --> 01:37:31,760
Speaker 1: third year in the NFL, I would imagine that you

1938
01:37:31,880 --> 01:37:33,800
Speaker 1: work on technique. You work on technique. You work on

1939
01:37:33,800 --> 01:37:36,120
Speaker 1: technique all the time. That's something you just do all

1940
01:37:36,200 --> 01:37:40,160
Speaker 1: the time. So what's the key in getting better as

1941
01:37:40,200 --> 01:37:43,280
Speaker 1: an individual offensive lineman? Is it kind of learning tricks

1942
01:37:43,320 --> 01:37:45,519
Speaker 1: of the trade. Is it's studying more film. What's kind

1943
01:37:45,560 --> 01:37:47,280
Speaker 1: of the key to take in I don't say the

1944
01:37:47,320 --> 01:37:49,360
Speaker 1: next step, but what's kind of the key to becoming

1945
01:37:49,760 --> 01:37:52,400
Speaker 1: even better weekend and week out? Is it more about

1946
01:37:52,479 --> 01:37:55,720
Speaker 1: just emphasizing technique. Is it learning new techniques? Is it

1947
01:37:55,800 --> 01:37:57,400
Speaker 1: kind of the little tricks of the trade you learn

1948
01:37:57,479 --> 01:38:00,200
Speaker 1: playing inside? What's kind of the key max for for

1949
01:38:00,360 --> 01:38:04,599
Speaker 1: taking you know, that step of of becoming the NFL

1950
01:38:04,680 --> 01:38:07,080
Speaker 1: lineman that you want to be. I think it kind

1951
01:38:07,120 --> 01:38:09,720
Speaker 1: of honestly, it's a little bit week by week, um,

1952
01:38:09,800 --> 01:38:13,240
Speaker 1: day by day type of thing. You know, certain certain things, Um,

1953
01:38:13,280 --> 01:38:15,080
Speaker 1: you know you're good at coming in certain things you

1954
01:38:15,080 --> 01:38:17,200
Speaker 1: need to improve on, right, And I think obviously you

1955
01:38:17,439 --> 01:38:19,040
Speaker 1: never want to lose what you're good at, but you

1956
01:38:19,120 --> 01:38:22,240
Speaker 1: got to take h take what your maybe he's not

1957
01:38:22,280 --> 01:38:23,880
Speaker 1: your strong suit, and you got to work on that

1958
01:38:23,960 --> 01:38:27,160
Speaker 1: every single day until it kind of creeps up closer. Um.

1959
01:38:27,240 --> 01:38:28,840
Speaker 1: And then depending on the week. You know, if you

1960
01:38:29,040 --> 01:38:30,920
Speaker 1: if you've played a guy before, you have a little

1961
01:38:30,920 --> 01:38:32,760
Speaker 1: bit of an idea of what he's gonna do to

1962
01:38:32,800 --> 01:38:35,639
Speaker 1: try to attack you or what he might try this time.

1963
01:38:35,760 --> 01:38:38,960
Speaker 1: And if you haven't, um, you know, played against him before,

1964
01:38:39,000 --> 01:38:40,640
Speaker 1: you got to watch a little bit more film on

1965
01:38:40,720 --> 01:38:43,120
Speaker 1: him and you know, ask around the vets, see if

1966
01:38:43,160 --> 01:38:46,759
Speaker 1: they've played against them before anything like that. So, um,

1967
01:38:46,840 --> 01:38:49,040
Speaker 1: it's a little bit, uh, a little bit unique to

1968
01:38:49,120 --> 01:38:53,040
Speaker 1: every every person, every situation um, and you just kind of,

1969
01:38:53,120 --> 01:38:55,320
Speaker 1: you know, focus on maybe one thing one day, one

1970
01:38:55,320 --> 01:38:57,840
Speaker 1: thing another day, and just stack them up. We've talked

1971
01:38:57,880 --> 01:39:00,679
Speaker 1: a lot about how last year was tough on the rookies,

1972
01:39:00,800 --> 01:39:02,559
Speaker 1: but it was no picnic for you guys going into

1973
01:39:02,600 --> 01:39:04,759
Speaker 1: your second year either, because you were kind of deprived

1974
01:39:04,800 --> 01:39:07,920
Speaker 1: of that entire offseason to get ready as opposed to

1975
01:39:07,920 --> 01:39:09,720
Speaker 1: the rookie year when you're getting ready for draft and

1976
01:39:09,760 --> 01:39:11,880
Speaker 1: all that other stuff. So what was that like for you?

1977
01:39:12,280 --> 01:39:14,240
Speaker 1: And I know everybody had to deal with it, But

1978
01:39:14,360 --> 01:39:16,160
Speaker 1: now that you're sort of through that, I know we're

1979
01:39:16,200 --> 01:39:18,840
Speaker 1: still living in the protocol world, but it's not quite

1980
01:39:18,880 --> 01:39:21,960
Speaker 1: the same. Yeah, I mean you definitely. I mean I

1981
01:39:21,960 --> 01:39:24,400
Speaker 1: didn't even really have a full NFL off season until

1982
01:39:24,400 --> 01:39:27,160
Speaker 1: this year, so it was different going into that first

1983
01:39:27,360 --> 01:39:30,880
Speaker 1: That first off season, you never really get a feel

1984
01:39:30,920 --> 01:39:33,080
Speaker 1: for what you know, what vets do, what you're supposed

1985
01:39:33,120 --> 01:39:34,600
Speaker 1: to do, and you're supposed to learn from everybody, but

1986
01:39:34,680 --> 01:39:37,080
Speaker 1: if they're not around, how can you do that? So

1987
01:39:37,680 --> 01:39:39,479
Speaker 1: it took a bit a little bit of getting used to.

1988
01:39:39,880 --> 01:39:42,439
Speaker 1: But I like, you know, having the process this year

1989
01:39:42,520 --> 01:39:45,080
Speaker 1: definitely helps you, know, you get you get you moved through.

1990
01:39:45,240 --> 01:39:46,720
Speaker 1: Like I was saying, day by day, you kind of

1991
01:39:46,720 --> 01:39:48,320
Speaker 1: have a little bit more of a process, a little

1992
01:39:48,320 --> 01:39:51,519
Speaker 1: bit more of a setup where you can focus on

1993
01:39:51,560 --> 01:39:55,400
Speaker 1: certain things at certain times. All Right, that's Max Sharping,

1994
01:39:55,600 --> 01:39:59,200
Speaker 1: who joined Johnny and myself in the hunday Texans radio

1995
01:39:59,320 --> 01:40:03,519
Speaker 1: studio and a terrific visit with him. Team practicing right

1996
01:40:03,560 --> 01:40:06,559
Speaker 1: now at the Houston Methodist Training Center. Media just tweeting

1997
01:40:06,600 --> 01:40:09,280
Speaker 1: everything that a certain quarterback does. Oh he took his

1998
01:40:09,360 --> 01:40:11,000
Speaker 1: jersey off, Oh he put it back on. Oh he

1999
01:40:11,080 --> 01:40:14,439
Speaker 1: lifted his left foot, And I get it, I suppose.

2000
01:40:14,800 --> 01:40:16,280
Speaker 1: But there are a lot of other things to talk

2001
01:40:16,320 --> 01:40:18,479
Speaker 1: about on this team. But I understand it's a huge story.

2002
01:40:18,520 --> 01:40:20,040
Speaker 1: We all want to know what happens. Although I don't

2003
01:40:20,080 --> 01:40:23,040
Speaker 1: know if every little movement here at camp is filled

2004
01:40:23,080 --> 01:40:27,560
Speaker 1: with significance, is filled with projection on what is ultimately

2005
01:40:27,600 --> 01:40:30,920
Speaker 1: going to happen. So we'll find out. This is a

2006
01:40:31,080 --> 01:40:35,040
Speaker 1: unique situation. This is the twentieth Texans training camp and

2007
01:40:35,080 --> 01:40:38,759
Speaker 1: we've never seen anything like this. There are so many

2008
01:40:38,800 --> 01:40:42,439
Speaker 1: stories on this team that one is obviously on a

2009
01:40:42,520 --> 01:40:46,400
Speaker 1: national basis and locally to overshadowing the rest, But there

2010
01:40:46,479 --> 01:40:49,240
Speaker 1: is a lot to go over. So Landry is gonna

2011

Speaker 1: have his camp questions for us tomorrow. Johnny, We're gonna

2109
01:46:28,240 --> 01:46:32,400
Speaker 1: that bump. He's not an outside live backer. He's a

2110
01:46:32,520 --> 01:46:36,520
Speaker 1: d L. Who's a Whitney. Oh yeah, he's DL. Now, yeah,

2111
01:46:36,520 --> 01:46:38,320
Speaker 1: he's gone back to the future. He's been he's been

2112
01:46:38,360 --> 01:46:41,400
Speaker 1: around since twenty twelve, so that's okay. That's what he

2113
01:46:41,520 --> 01:46:43,559
Speaker 1: was in Illinois, he was a four. It was so

2114
01:46:43,640 --> 01:46:46,080
Speaker 1: funny because in twenty eleven he gets all these sacks.

2115
01:46:46,080 --> 01:46:49,240
Speaker 1: He's playing four down D lineman defensive end, and some

2116
01:46:49,320 --> 01:46:51,120
Speaker 1: of the Texans drafting was like, well, you know, how's

2117
01:46:51,120 --> 01:46:53,400
Speaker 1: he gonna transfer, how's he gonna translate to a three? Four?

2118
01:46:53,439 --> 01:46:55,360
Speaker 1: And now it's like, well, how's it gonna be a fourth? Three?

2119
01:46:55,360 --> 01:46:57,080
Speaker 1: He's like, guys, he did that in college. I know

2120
01:46:57,240 --> 01:46:59,320
Speaker 1: was years ago, but he's got it in his bag.

2121
01:46:59,520 --> 01:47:01,559
Speaker 1: He's got the club in his bag. He always definitely

2122
01:47:01,560 --> 01:47:03,120
Speaker 1: got the club. And don't forget how to hit the

2123
01:47:03,120 --> 01:47:07,000
Speaker 1: sand wedge. In fact, it's one of his favorite clubs,

2124
01:47:07,120 --> 01:47:09,439
Speaker 1: but he hasn't been able to use it. So and

2125
01:47:09,520 --> 01:47:11,920
Speaker 1: you know who we taught to yesterday and I want

2126
01:47:11,920 --> 01:47:14,840
Speaker 1: to run that tomorrow. I think because Jacob Martin. We

2127
01:47:14,880 --> 01:47:17,840
Speaker 1: had a terrific visit with him and he could not

2128
01:47:18,000 --> 01:47:20,760
Speaker 1: be more excited about playing defensive end in a four three.

2129
01:47:20,760 --> 01:47:22,240
Speaker 1: He said, this is why I was drafted, this is

2130
01:47:22,240 --> 01:47:24,479
Speaker 1: why they liked me in this league because I could

2131
01:47:24,479 --> 01:47:27,760
Speaker 1: do that well. And then he's an outside linebacker and look,

2132
01:47:27,760 --> 01:47:30,439
Speaker 1: he got some things done. You know it's he's in

2133
01:47:30,479 --> 01:47:33,599
Speaker 1: this league. He's employed in this league. Look, we make

2134
01:47:33,640 --> 01:47:36,080
Speaker 1: a big deal about wanting guys to be Pro Bowlers.

2135
01:47:36,120 --> 01:47:39,560
Speaker 1: We want everybody to be a Pro Bowler, all pro. Yes, absolutely,

2136
01:47:39,960 --> 01:47:43,960
Speaker 1: first round draft choice ability. But the fact is there's

2137
01:47:43,960 --> 01:47:46,400
Speaker 1: a huge middle class, if you will, in this league.

2138
01:47:46,560 --> 01:47:51,439
Speaker 1: And he fitted just fine in his role. But this

2139
01:47:51,520 --> 01:47:55,160
Speaker 1: is a role where he might flourish. Johnny defensive end

2140
01:47:55,400 --> 01:47:58,799
Speaker 1: in a four to three where he's a situational guy

2141
01:47:58,920 --> 01:48:00,760
Speaker 1: and he's probably not in there first down, but he's

2142
01:48:00,760 --> 01:48:03,760
Speaker 1: a situational guy, but he could be really productive here. Yeah,

2143
01:48:03,800 --> 01:48:07,400
Speaker 1: I mean, I think for him it was really interesting.

2144
01:48:07,439 --> 01:48:11,120
Speaker 1: I can't wait to run an interview because we I

2145
01:48:11,160 --> 01:48:13,800
Speaker 1: get so interested in talking to the pass rushers. I

2146
01:48:13,920 --> 01:48:16,960
Speaker 1: love talking about you guys, were really love talking about

2147
01:48:17,040 --> 01:48:19,760
Speaker 1: I had to excuse myself these guys were talking pass

2148
01:48:19,840 --> 01:48:22,519
Speaker 1: rush moves and lifting up your elbow and doing the

2149
01:48:22,600 --> 01:48:26,640
Speaker 1: swim and that. It was so awesome. But it's just

2150
01:48:26,680 --> 01:48:31,720
Speaker 1: a comfortability of knowing as a defensive end, guess what

2151
01:48:32,600 --> 01:48:36,000
Speaker 1: you're not dropping in coverage. Yeah, you're going forward, whether

2152
01:48:36,040 --> 01:48:38,400
Speaker 1: it's forward to attack a blocker in a run game,

2153
01:48:38,800 --> 01:48:42,559
Speaker 1: whether it's rushing quarterback, looping inside on games and stunts, whatever,

2154
01:48:43,040 --> 01:48:45,840
Speaker 1: you're going forward. You're not having to think about going back.

2155
01:48:45,880 --> 01:48:48,000
Speaker 1: And I think about one play in particular, as it

2156
01:48:48,040 --> 01:48:50,679
Speaker 1: pertains to Jacob. It's not really fair to him because

2157
01:48:50,760 --> 01:48:52,920
Speaker 1: Kansas City schemed it up. But in that playoff game,

2158
01:48:52,960 --> 01:48:55,479
Speaker 1: it's twenty four nothing, but the Chiefs get that long

2159
01:48:55,520 --> 01:48:58,680
Speaker 1: return from Hardman and they take Damian Williams and they

2160
01:48:58,760 --> 01:49:01,719
Speaker 1: run him down the seam. Well, Jacob's got to read

2161
01:49:01,920 --> 01:49:04,120
Speaker 1: and then get out to it, and it's just not

2162
01:49:04,200 --> 01:49:06,840
Speaker 1: in his purview. It's just not something that he really

2163
01:49:06,920 --> 01:49:10,560
Speaker 1: does instinctively, and did instinctively. And then Mahomes drops a

2164
01:49:10,640 --> 01:49:13,040
Speaker 1: bullet and you know, put a bullet on Williams at

2165
01:49:13,080 --> 01:49:15,160
Speaker 1: the touchdown twenty four seven in the floodgates open in.

2166
01:49:15,200 --> 01:49:18,120
Speaker 1: It wasn't Jacobs, but it just showed where he was

2167
01:49:18,560 --> 01:49:21,360
Speaker 1: not as comfortable as he said he wasn't a four

2168
01:49:21,479 --> 01:49:23,280
Speaker 1: three at Temple, which he is now in here with us.

2169
01:49:23,800 --> 01:49:27,439
Speaker 1: So we have ones and twos and ones and twos

2170
01:49:27,520 --> 01:49:30,840
Speaker 1: going at it here in a non padded practice. Okay,

2171
01:49:30,840 --> 01:49:32,839
Speaker 1: so they're not going fold, They're going about three quarters

2172
01:49:32,880 --> 01:49:37,000
Speaker 1: here at best. Uh. You have Taylor manning the quarterback

2173
01:49:37,040 --> 01:49:40,120
Speaker 1: position on one end of the field and Davis Mills

2174
01:49:40,160 --> 01:49:41,920
Speaker 1: on the other end of the field, with Driscoll and

2175
01:49:42,000 --> 01:49:45,519
Speaker 1: Watson watching. That's how this is right now. Don't know

2176
01:49:45,560 --> 01:49:47,960
Speaker 1: how it's going to change as these reps progress here,

2177
01:49:48,000 --> 01:49:49,800
Speaker 1: but giving you a little update. We don't do much

2178
01:49:49,880 --> 01:49:51,800
Speaker 1: play by play of practice. Just try to give you

2179
01:49:51,800 --> 01:49:55,000
Speaker 1: a few tidbits, a few nuggets here and there. What's

2180
01:49:55,040 --> 01:49:56,479
Speaker 1: going to do you want to go to rep in

2181
01:49:57,280 --> 01:49:59,840
Speaker 1: re Oh? You know, because it's good. It's a good

2182
01:50:00,080 --> 01:50:04,880
Speaker 1: bead for me to get a preseason RepU. Oh, I

2183
01:50:04,920 --> 01:50:06,760
Speaker 1: do to my head, Johnny all the time when I'm

2184
01:50:06,760 --> 01:50:08,880
Speaker 1: watching practice. I don't know if you knew this all right,

2185
01:50:08,880 --> 01:50:11,040
Speaker 1: I can't see us in the backfield, but Lindsay, just

2186
01:50:11,080 --> 01:50:14,479
Speaker 1: gotta carry yeah when you're watching a game at home,

2187
01:50:14,920 --> 01:50:17,720
Speaker 1: because I do sometimes when I'm watching a game at home,

2188
01:50:17,760 --> 01:50:20,439
Speaker 1: I'm calling out formations. I'm calling out like, oh yeah,

2189
01:50:20,479 --> 01:50:22,960
Speaker 1: this motion, like I'm calling it out as I'm watching it.

2190
01:50:23,000 --> 01:50:25,880
Speaker 1: Do you call out the you know, watching you? And

2191
01:50:25,920 --> 01:50:29,640
Speaker 1: I did the Southern Conference championship basketball game this year, right,

2192
01:50:30,120 --> 01:50:33,200
Speaker 1: and I was leading up to that, I was, you know,

2193
01:50:33,240 --> 01:50:36,680
Speaker 1: I'll do like a couple of minutes of a basketball

2194
01:50:36,680 --> 01:50:38,880
Speaker 1: game here and there, just to get a little rhythm

2195
01:50:38,920 --> 01:50:41,320
Speaker 1: because it's a rhythm game and so it's football really.

2196
01:50:41,560 --> 01:50:44,120
Speaker 1: But yeah, every once in a while, I'll call absolutely

2197
01:50:44,200 --> 01:50:47,040
Speaker 1: out loud at home. Are you kidding? Look, if you're

2198
01:50:47,080 --> 01:50:49,400
Speaker 1: not doing that as a play by play guy, if

2199
01:50:49,439 --> 01:50:52,080
Speaker 1: you say you're not doing it, you're lying. They're all

2200
01:50:52,240 --> 01:50:56,439
Speaker 1: nances at home doing it sometimes seriously because they're in

2201
01:50:56,479 --> 01:50:59,280
Speaker 1: this business, and anybody who does any kind of presentation

2202
01:50:59,320 --> 01:51:01,519
Speaker 1: work at this supplies to all businesses. If you do

2203
01:51:01,600 --> 01:51:04,600
Speaker 1: zoom call presentations, if you do any kind of presentation

2204
01:51:04,640 --> 01:51:08,840
Speaker 1: in front of multiple people, do it out loud. Practice

2205
01:51:09,000 --> 01:51:11,360
Speaker 1: out loud. You don't have to do the whole thing necessarily,

2206
01:51:11,400 --> 01:51:14,320
Speaker 1: but not in your head. In your head, it's not working.

2207
01:51:14,360 --> 01:51:16,679
Speaker 1: It's a motor skill. It's got to go from brain

2208
01:51:16,840 --> 01:51:20,120
Speaker 1: to mouth. The lungs, everything moving as a machine. If

2209
01:51:20,120 --> 01:51:22,439
Speaker 1: you're not doing that, you're not getting the reps that

2210
01:51:22,479 --> 01:51:24,719
Speaker 1: you need to get better. Johnny, when I first started

2211
01:51:24,720 --> 01:51:27,120
Speaker 1: doing football play by play at Central Michigan, you know,

2212
01:51:27,160 --> 01:51:29,320
Speaker 1: at a high level. I was doing high school before that,

2213
01:51:29,520 --> 01:51:31,519
Speaker 1: I would sit in the stands and watch practice, and

2214
01:51:31,720 --> 01:51:33,599
Speaker 1: as they were running reps, I would just call all

2215
01:51:33,640 --> 01:51:35,240
Speaker 1: the action like I was way high in the stands

2216
01:51:35,240 --> 01:51:36,600
Speaker 1: where no one could hear me. And I wasn't like

2217
01:51:37,080 --> 01:51:40,120
Speaker 1: they couldn't hear me, but I was doing it out loud,

2218
01:51:40,280 --> 01:51:42,519
Speaker 1: just to get that, you know, get the reps going.

2219
01:51:42,600 --> 01:51:44,320
Speaker 1: And here's the other thing. Whether you like your voice

2220
01:51:44,439 --> 01:51:48,000
Speaker 1: or not, listen to it. I don't love I don't

2221
01:51:48,040 --> 01:51:50,639
Speaker 1: love my voice. But I remember the very first segment

2222
01:51:50,720 --> 01:51:53,200
Speaker 1: you and I ever did together. I was listening to

2223
01:51:53,240 --> 01:51:55,760
Speaker 1: it and I said the word you know way more

2224
01:51:55,800 --> 01:51:58,000
Speaker 1: than I wanted to. Oh, so you worked on correct

2225
01:51:58,000 --> 01:51:59,479
Speaker 1: I was like, okay, I'm gonna try and correct it now.

2226
01:51:59,479 --> 01:52:01,240
Speaker 1: I fall back. Can to have I say it a

2227
01:52:01,240 --> 01:52:05,160
Speaker 1: lot in a show the Habits, but I try to

2228
01:52:05,160 --> 01:52:09,200
Speaker 1: take the pause as opposed to, you know, get going fast.

2229
01:52:09,200 --> 01:52:11,800
Speaker 1: You never know what happens, but it's it's hard not to.

2230
01:52:12,120 --> 01:52:14,920
Speaker 1: It's hard not to. Uh, it's really important to try

2231
01:52:14,920 --> 01:52:17,479
Speaker 1: to correct that and cut out all the ums and

2232
01:52:17,520 --> 01:52:19,760
Speaker 1: the odds. But sometimes that's difficult too, because you're trying

2233
01:52:19,760 --> 01:52:21,760
Speaker 1: to have a natural conversation at a sports talk show.

2234
01:52:21,880 --> 01:52:25,320
Speaker 1: That's it, folks. And here's another tidbit. Somebody who's asking

2235
01:52:25,320 --> 01:52:27,559
Speaker 1: me I want to get into sports talk. I said, well,

2236
01:52:27,640 --> 01:52:30,160
Speaker 1: while you're in your car, just shut off the radio

2237
01:52:30,720 --> 01:52:34,759
Speaker 1: and do three minutes by yourself. You're live, pick a topic,

2238
01:52:35,000 --> 01:52:38,160
Speaker 1: go alone, and if you can survive that, maybe you

2239
01:52:38,160 --> 01:52:40,559
Speaker 1: can think about the next start. All right. Anyway, that

2240
01:52:40,600 --> 01:52:42,719
Speaker 1: was our broadcast lesson of the day. As the team

2241
01:52:42,760 --> 01:52:46,840
Speaker 1: continues to do reps, Taylor still operating at QB. I

2242
01:52:46,840 --> 01:52:50,080
Speaker 1: didn't see anybody else get reps other than Taylor. The

2243
01:52:50,080 --> 01:52:52,000
Speaker 1: two spots, so Mills was down on the other end

2244
01:52:52,000 --> 01:52:54,439
Speaker 1: and Toronto was down here. So that's how they split

2245
01:52:54,479 --> 01:52:57,200
Speaker 1: it up and different you know, all three running backs,

2246
01:52:57,360 --> 01:52:59,320
Speaker 1: the three running backs. Well, it was one of the

2247
01:52:59,360 --> 01:53:03,080
Speaker 1: things that I'm noticed thirty seconds bad. Yeah, Rex Burkhead

2248
01:53:03,200 --> 01:53:06,200
Speaker 1: not on pups out here. That's very here. That's great news.

2249
01:53:06,200 --> 01:53:09,360
Speaker 1: That's a little silver lining or a little bright spot

2250
01:53:09,360 --> 01:53:12,479
Speaker 1: of the day. And Landry and Lopez are coming up.

2251
01:53:12,479 --> 01:53:14,240
Speaker 1: I mean they are just dying for us to leave

2252
01:53:14,280 --> 01:53:17,960
Speaker 1: this shoost so they can take over. And during their

2253
01:53:18,000 --> 01:53:20,280
Speaker 1: program they'll have a player, a player to mean names

2254
01:53:20,320 --> 01:53:23,280
Speaker 1: later and they'll also have David Culley's press conference. I

2255
01:53:23,280 --> 01:53:25,040
Speaker 1: guess a little bit of that as Cully will be

2256
01:53:25,120 --> 01:53:28,960
Speaker 1: peppered with questions on you know what, as Nikos Sarria was,

2257
01:53:29,000 --> 01:53:31,599
Speaker 1: so we'll find out. Thank you Ben for producing. Thank

2264
