1
00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:04,360
Speaker 1: Welcome in everybody into a Wednesday addition of Texans All Access.

2
00:00:04,440 --> 00:00:07,360
Speaker 1: I said Wednesday like that because I wasn't totally sure.

3
00:00:07,440 --> 00:00:10,640
Speaker 1: I do not know what day it is, after draft weekend,

4
00:00:11,080 --> 00:00:14,320
Speaker 1: after an a weekend before that, I don't even know

5
00:00:14,320 --> 00:00:16,000
Speaker 1: what day it is. But it is Wednesday, and it's

6
00:00:16,040 --> 00:00:17,760
Speaker 1: a great day for you to be with us here

7
00:00:17,760 --> 00:00:20,880
Speaker 1: in Texans All Access from the Honday Texans Radio studio.

8
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:25,799
Speaker 1: John Harris footballanal asilent reporter alongside the voice of the Texans,

9
00:00:25,960 --> 00:00:27,960
Speaker 1: and we have got great news, but we need a

10
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:29,400
Speaker 1: vibe check mark how you feeling.

11
00:00:29,600 --> 00:00:33,319
Speaker 2: Vibes are good, Johnny, very good after the draft, and

12
00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:35,040
Speaker 2: I know we're gonna look at the big picture of

13
00:00:35,080 --> 00:00:39,320
Speaker 2: this team tonight as we get into OTA's team outside

14
00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:43,800
Speaker 2: doing the conditioning stuff this week. Last week I watched

15
00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:45,519
Speaker 2: them a little bit. I didn't really watch much. I

16
00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:46,560
Speaker 2: was like, Oh, they're running around.

17
00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:47,479
Speaker 1: That's good. Then I moved on.

18
00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:49,360
Speaker 2: You know, there's not much to see, but it's good

19
00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:52,600
Speaker 2: to see them out there working because it means it's coming.

20
00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:55,520
Speaker 2: Before you know it, it'll be here. I can't wait,

21
00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:56,960
Speaker 2: and I know we have big news to share.

22
00:00:57,760 --> 00:01:02,200
Speaker 1: We definitely have big news found this out around no

23
00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:05,160
Speaker 1: I guess this was around lunchtime, and Mark and I

24
00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:07,880
Speaker 1: happened to be talking and kind of flapping our gums,

25
00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:09,240
Speaker 1: and then we kind of went our separate ways for

26
00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:10,720
Speaker 1: a little bit, and Alsodden looked down and went, oh,

27
00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:15,080
Speaker 1: while we were talking, it's announced the Texans and Pro

28
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:19,000
Speaker 1: Bowl linebacker Aziz al Shire I have agreed to terms

29
00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:24,200
Speaker 1: on a three year extension. And all I could think,

30
00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:27,440
Speaker 1: I'll tell you that's Mark. I just said a lot

31
00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:29,280
Speaker 1: of bad words I can't say on the radio, but

32
00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:34,600
Speaker 1: in the positive, like yes, like I just I don't

33
00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:38,240
Speaker 1: know that people outside the building truly know what this

34
00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:41,200
Speaker 1: man means to this organization and to the players in

35
00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:44,440
Speaker 1: this organization. And I'll take you back. This was I

36
00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:47,160
Speaker 1: think it was sometime in March. There's a guy named

37
00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:51,560
Speaker 1: Marcus Mosher who has been covering the Cowboys, covering the

38
00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:57,080
Speaker 1: NFL for a long time, very well respected. I'm trying

39
00:01:57,120 --> 00:02:01,720
Speaker 1: to think who he's he's unlocked up on Cowboys. He's

40
00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:04,360
Speaker 1: been NFL right for a long time. I think it

41
00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:08,840
Speaker 1: was back in March he posted something about the Cowboys

42
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:14,760
Speaker 1: need linebackers, and I had not yet quite gone into

43
00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:18,520
Speaker 1: my team draft needs at this point. But it caught

44
00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:21,079
Speaker 1: my attention when he was like, look, the Cowboys desperately

45
00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:25,320
Speaker 1: need a linebacker. Hey, maybe that the Cowboys could trade

46
00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:29,640
Speaker 1: for Aziz al Schier. He has not gotten an extension

47
00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:32,840
Speaker 1: from the Texans. Maybe they'd be willing to cut him loose,

48
00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:35,520
Speaker 1: make a trade, et cetera. And I thought, the hell

49
00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:40,760
Speaker 1: they will. And I immediately remember, I remember thinking, Okay,

50
00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:43,040
Speaker 1: they're gonna get him an extension. Disease, right, I mean

51
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:46,079
Speaker 1: this guy and what he means this organization. He's getting

52
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:49,400
Speaker 1: the extension. It did happen before the draft, but it

53
00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:51,720
Speaker 1: happens a couple of days after the draft is done

54
00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:56,560
Speaker 1: and the Texans leader is staying home where he should

55
00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:59,600
Speaker 1: be with the Texans. I love this. Mark your thoughts.

56
00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:02,840
Speaker 1: I did I check earlier with your cut reaction to

57
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:04,359
Speaker 1: Ze sticking Johnny.

58
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:06,960
Speaker 2: It was notable that we met with him prior to

59
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:12,239
Speaker 2: twenty twenty four, a preseason TV production meeting here in

60
00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:15,560
Speaker 2: Reliance Stadium. And I don't know if you remember what

61
00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:18,800
Speaker 2: I said. I was kind of joking, but I really wasn't.

62
00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:23,920
Speaker 2: What I said after that meeting, I said, lifetime contract, lifetime.

63
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:27,840
Speaker 2: I literally said that lifetime contract for this guy. I

64
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:30,920
Speaker 2: don't want him ever leaving this building for any reason.

65
00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:33,359
Speaker 2: I don't care if he's seventy years old. I want

66
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:35,880
Speaker 2: him in the building. Now the building might be different then, okay,

67
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:38,680
Speaker 2: I get it, but definitely that is an expression. I

68
00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:40,960
Speaker 2: don't want him leaving the organization ever. I think as

69
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:43,360
Speaker 2: he's ouse, Shire is an incredible human being. I know

70
00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:46,960
Speaker 2: he ran up against that terrible situation after the Lawrence

71
00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:49,720
Speaker 2: hit in twenty twenty four, but he was backed up

72
00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:52,560
Speaker 2: by his teammates and by the organization. And look what

73
00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:57,200
Speaker 2: happened to him this past season. Pro Bowler Walter Payton

74
00:03:57,280 --> 00:04:01,360
Speaker 2: Man of the Year nominee. It all came through. This

75
00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:04,520
Speaker 2: guy is incredible. You want him on that defense, and

76
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:06,240
Speaker 2: you want him in the building. You want him around

77
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:09,280
Speaker 2: these young players, especially because look whatever, look what he

78
00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:12,480
Speaker 2: went through, undrafted free agent, go to the forty nine ers,

79
00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:14,840
Speaker 2: and by the way, the Pro Bowl was his first

80
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:19,159
Speaker 2: postseason accolade since All Conference USA for Florida Atlantic back

81
00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:22,440
Speaker 2: in twenty seventeen or whatever it was, and he deserves this.

82
00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:24,760
Speaker 2: He started for the forty nine Ers, banged up a

83
00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:27,799
Speaker 2: little bit for San Francisco, ends up in Tennessee fifth

84
00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:30,719
Speaker 2: in the league in tackles. Comes here lights it up

85
00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:33,719
Speaker 2: and yes, served a three game suspension last year, and

86
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:36,719
Speaker 2: I think that affected the Texans among other things down

87
00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:39,440
Speaker 2: the stretch in twenty twenty four, even though they resurrected

88
00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:41,760
Speaker 2: things and beat the Chargers in the playoffs. But here's

89
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:45,000
Speaker 2: a disease anchoring this defense, Johnny. I did that event

90
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:48,240
Speaker 2: with Will Anderson Junior last week at Camp Hope for

91
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:52,599
Speaker 2: the PTSD Foundation of America and American National and it

92
00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:55,800
Speaker 2: was incredible to talk with Will in front of these people,

93
00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:59,040
Speaker 2: these servicemen and women. But then I was thinking between

94
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:03,719
Speaker 2: Will and Tamiko, and there are many more, but stop

95
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:08,240
Speaker 2: right there. That changes lives of people in this organization,

96
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:11,159
Speaker 2: of the young players coming in setting the tone, and

97
00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:13,320
Speaker 2: there are many more leaders on this team than that,

98
00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:17,160
Speaker 2: but those guys, just that Trio alone will do it.

99
00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:20,480
Speaker 2: So the fact that they have added so much around there,

100
00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:22,719
Speaker 2: we talk about the draft, the kind of psychology they're

101
00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:24,919
Speaker 2: looking for in players, the kind of players they have

102
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:28,000
Speaker 2: already on this football team. I'm excited about this. I

103
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:30,159
Speaker 2: think it's a wonderful thing. And normally I don't get

104
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:32,039
Speaker 2: caught up in contracts and things like that. But I'm

105
00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:34,600
Speaker 2: so happy for Disease to get this extension, and I'm

106
00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:36,480
Speaker 2: really thrilled for us that we get to have them

107
00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:37,680
Speaker 2: around here for a lot longer.

108
00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:40,479
Speaker 1: I want you to, if you don't mind, mark back

109
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:48,120
Speaker 1: at twenty twenty four, after the suspension was announced, there

110
00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:50,960
Speaker 1: was I can't remember exactly what it was. It may

111
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:55,719
Speaker 1: have been a business ops meeting, and Azz had committed

112
00:05:55,720 --> 00:06:01,280
Speaker 1: to go, and even after the suspension, he was there

113
00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:04,919
Speaker 1: at the at the actual meeting himself and obviously people

114
00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:08,599
Speaker 1: you know, stood up in game and innovation. Can you

115
00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:11,520
Speaker 1: share with everybody what that what that was, what that

116
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:13,839
Speaker 1: was like seeing him kind of go through that situation

117
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:16,200
Speaker 1: and feeling the love from the Texans organization.

118
00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:20,880
Speaker 2: So, Johnny, it's a United Way thing and Disease is

119
00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:23,279
Speaker 2: scheduled to speak, and what a great guy to speak

120
00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:25,600
Speaker 2: on the United Way. And you know, he grew up

121
00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:29,120
Speaker 2: homeless partially and all of the stories around him, and

122
00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:31,960
Speaker 2: we've talked about that a lot with him and about him.

123
00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:36,680
Speaker 2: He showed up and talked and hugged the McNair's and

124
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:38,919
Speaker 2: there were tears, but it was you know, it was

125
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:41,520
Speaker 2: important to him to be there for the United Way.

126
00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:44,280
Speaker 3: So I think that.

127
00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:45,440
Speaker 2: That says a lot about him, but there's so many

128
00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:47,599
Speaker 2: different things that say a lot about is he's out Shire?

129
00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:50,080
Speaker 2: Uh that production meeting I referred to, I mean you

130
00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:52,600
Speaker 2: were there, you know, we were blown away. I think

131
00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:55,960
Speaker 2: you said something like so when you look in the mirror,

132
00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:56,720
Speaker 2: do you see to me?

133
00:06:56,839 --> 00:06:57,320
Speaker 1: Go Ryan.

134
00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:02,480
Speaker 2: It really was incredible to hear him speak, and we

135
00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:03,480
Speaker 2: just didn't want it to end.

136
00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:06,280
Speaker 3: It was that good and we thought, wait, we got

137
00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:07,640
Speaker 3: to get our lives together here.

138
00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:12,520
Speaker 2: Man, this is this guy's so inspirational. I felt like

139
00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:14,520
Speaker 2: that with Will last week. I was like, man, what

140
00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:15,240
Speaker 2: am I doing?

141
00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:16,080
Speaker 3: I Will?

142
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:16,480
Speaker 1: Wow?

143
00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:18,520
Speaker 2: Okay, I need to hang out with him more often.

144
00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:21,200
Speaker 2: These guys are that powerful as people. Never mind the

145
00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:24,240
Speaker 2: football players they are. They're obviously incredible off the field.

146
00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:26,480
Speaker 2: They're incredible off the field. It's good to see.

147
00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:30,880
Speaker 1: It is very good to see. I remember when I knew,

148
00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:34,560
Speaker 1: I absolutely, without question, wanted a ziz al Shire to

149
00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:38,720
Speaker 1: be in the building. Actually I'd wanted him before this,

150
00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:42,239
Speaker 1: but this sealed the deal. We went to Tennessee in

151
00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:47,040
Speaker 1: twenty three. CJ had to concussion and Case was a

152
00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:51,800
Speaker 1: surprise starter that day and so okay, what are we

153
00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:53,720
Speaker 1: going to be able to do offensively well? Leading up

154
00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:58,320
Speaker 1: to that game, a few players had the flu, which

155
00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:00,520
Speaker 1: we did. I don't think we knew, but you, you

156
00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:02,679
Speaker 1: and Mike Keith were chopping it up for the game

157
00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:07,160
Speaker 1: and he said to you, al Shire's been sick. He's

158
00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:11,080
Speaker 1: got the flu. They're gonna play him, but we really

159
00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:14,360
Speaker 1: don't know what he's gonna be able to do, if

160
00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:17,200
Speaker 1: he's gonna be able to play much at all. He's

161
00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:21,800
Speaker 1: been really sick. And I remember sitting You told me.

162
00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:24,480
Speaker 2: That, yeah, and I was thinking, oh, good, like it

163
00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:26,320
Speaker 2: good in a football way. I don't want him to,

164
00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:29,600
Speaker 2: you know, any opposing player to be really hurt.

165
00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:31,560
Speaker 3: But I thought, you know what, you're sick. Sit this

166
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:33,760
Speaker 3: one out, man. You know, if you don't feel that good,

167
00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:35,040
Speaker 3: just stay on the side of because I knew a

168
00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:35,920
Speaker 3: good how good he was.

169
00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:39,600
Speaker 1: Going yeah, And so I had it in my brain

170
00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:43,720
Speaker 1: the whole game, and I watched number two he's wearing

171
00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:47,320
Speaker 1: too with Tennessee at that point tackle everything that moved

172
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:53,120
Speaker 1: and I thought, this guy is sick. I mean, this

173
00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:56,080
Speaker 1: is ridiculous. This guy made I think it ended up

174
00:08:56,080 --> 00:09:00,559
Speaker 1: being fifteen tackles in that game. Sick and you know what,

175
00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:03,480
Speaker 1: the flu, And I'm like, are you kidding me? What

176
00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:06,320
Speaker 1: kind of And that was in twenty twenty three, and

177
00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:11,080
Speaker 1: I thought when Demiko, when Dimico came here, I thought

178
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:14,640
Speaker 1: al Shire would follow him. And so I was, you know,

179
00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:16,000
Speaker 1: kind of waiting for it. And then I saw him

180
00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:18,000
Speaker 1: with to Tennessee and I was, you know, that much

181
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:22,320
Speaker 1: more angry about it because that's a guy I obviously wanted,

182
00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:26,520
Speaker 1: you know, with us, and it didn't happen. And so

183
00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:29,320
Speaker 1: I'm watching this guy that really wanted. He's on the

184
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:32,600
Speaker 1: other sideline. He's wearing that damn Euler's jersey and he's

185
00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:35,280
Speaker 1: sick and he's putting on a damn show. And I thought,

186
00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:37,560
Speaker 1: you gotta be kidding me. Oh yeah, here it is.

187
00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:43,520
Speaker 1: Thirteen tackles, two TFLs, and a quarterback hurry, all while

188
00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:44,520
Speaker 1: dealing with the flu.

189
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:46,920
Speaker 3: Incredible, absolutely incredible.

190
00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:48,680
Speaker 1: I want that dude on my team. And then, of

191
00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:51,040
Speaker 1: course it happened in twenty twenty four, and you know,

192
00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:53,680
Speaker 1: we just have been you know, so lucky since. So

193
00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:56,160
Speaker 1: as you look at the linebackers now, and that was

194
00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:59,240
Speaker 1: such a talking point Mark going into the draft with

195
00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:03,200
Speaker 1: linebacker be a position that they highlight and they did

196
00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:06,800
Speaker 1: Wade wood As and Aiden Fisher in the seventh round,

197
00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:09,520
Speaker 1: wadewood As in the fourth round. I don't think they

198
00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:11,560
Speaker 1: look at either one of those as supplanting either one

199
00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:14,920
Speaker 1: of the starters at this point. But you knew that

200
00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:17,800
Speaker 1: going into the draft. Disease and Henry or the last

201
00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:20,080
Speaker 1: year of their deals. EJ, I believe, had a two

202
00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:22,800
Speaker 1: year deal, so he's gonna be around. If those guys

203
00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:26,600
Speaker 1: had a three year extension going in, EJ's got the

204
00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:29,920
Speaker 1: two years, you'd feel like, Okay, we're solid at this position.

205
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:34,000
Speaker 1: Maybe linebacker goes down the priority list a little bit

206
00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:37,960
Speaker 1: more didn't happen, but at some point, the fact that's

207
00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:41,640
Speaker 1: happening today makes you think that they had these conversations

208
00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:43,800
Speaker 1: going into the draft, and that was the back of

209
00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:47,800
Speaker 1: everybody's mind. And so Disease gets the deal done, and

210
00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:51,240
Speaker 1: now look at that. That's Mark. All right. Let's do

211
00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:56,959
Speaker 1: this real fast. Yep. Let's let's look at the Texans defense.

212
00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:01,280
Speaker 1: And this is always something I love to be able

213
00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:05,360
Speaker 1: to do. Look at this Texas defense and for how

214
00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:08,439
Speaker 1: long we got these guys? Will Anderson Junior signed the extension?

215
00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:13,560
Speaker 1: Uh Danil Hunter obviously has his extension. Zis au Shires

216
00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:17,080
Speaker 1: here for the next four years. Derek Stingley's got I

217
00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:22,199
Speaker 1: think has his extension. He kicked in yet too, three, four, five, six, No,

218
00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:24,560
Speaker 1: his extension hasn't even kicked in yet. He's got three

219
00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:27,719
Speaker 1: years after this year. Reid blanken Ship signed a three

220
00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:31,920
Speaker 1: year deal. Jalen Petrie got his extension going into last season.

221
00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:37,199
Speaker 1: Kamari is on the third year. He's got two years.

222
00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:40,400
Speaker 1: Kaylin's got two years. This defense now the only one

223
00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:42,960
Speaker 1: that off the top of my head, Henry is in

224
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:44,480
Speaker 1: the last year of his deal, and I think when

225
00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:49,439
Speaker 1: Tommy extended. Tommy's in the last year his deal. That's it.

226
00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:52,680
Speaker 1: Everybody else is locked down for the next two to

227
00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:56,080
Speaker 1: five years on this defense. Look, this is loaded.

228
00:11:56,640 --> 00:11:58,720
Speaker 2: What did we talk about right before the draft started

229
00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:02,440
Speaker 2: Thursday Night Draft Show? We said, listen, you're really drafting

230
00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:06,560
Speaker 2: depth here and maybe a future starter on the offensive line.

231
00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:09,200
Speaker 2: It's a bit different. Somebody can win a job here

232
00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:12,800
Speaker 2: in this draft. Defensively, no one's gonna win a job.

233
00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:15,200
Speaker 2: If they do, it's incredible. Now, you could write in

234
00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:19,080
Speaker 2: Kate and McDonald, we've seen the posts, but that is

235
00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:21,800
Speaker 2: as Sean Peddergah said in his tweet on the MGM

236
00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:23,840
Speaker 2: tweet that said, look at his defense and they had

237
00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:26,280
Speaker 2: Kate McDonald as a starter. He said, this is disrespectful

238
00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:29,360
Speaker 2: of Tommy Togia, and it is, But we want McDonald

239
00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:31,480
Speaker 2: to be a stud and be part of the rotation

240
00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:34,040
Speaker 2: and a heavy part of the rotation, because that's good

241
00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:35,040
Speaker 2: news for everybody.

242
00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:36,679
Speaker 3: But that's it.

243
00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:40,480
Speaker 2: You're drafting to make this thing even deeper, especially on

244
00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:43,280
Speaker 2: the defensive side of the ball. My gosh, look at

245
00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:46,520
Speaker 2: what they've added on a team. Let's say that Texans

246
00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:48,480
Speaker 2: were coming out of twenty twenty two or that kind

247
00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:51,640
Speaker 2: of era or season right now, and you drafted a

248
00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:55,040
Speaker 2: Wade wood As or an Aiden Fisher, you'd say, hey,

249
00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:57,560
Speaker 2: can those guys possibly start? And maybe you're still saying

250
00:12:57,559 --> 00:13:02,320
Speaker 2: it about them someday, but not anytime soon unless there's injury.

251
00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:05,520
Speaker 2: Will they start now? They might play, they might rotate.

252
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:09,600
Speaker 2: They certainly could factor in heavily on special teams. But

253
00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:12,320
Speaker 2: that's where you are right now because the folks at

254
00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:15,200
Speaker 2: our lads, who it's kind of like looking at wiki. Look,

255
00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:18,320
Speaker 2: they're right about who's on the team, but they're guessing

256
00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:22,120
Speaker 2: on the depth chart. But what As and Fisher are

257
00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:26,040
Speaker 2: third and fourth team respectively on the linebacker depth chart

258
00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:29,240
Speaker 2: for the Texans. On our lads, Jake Hummel, who they

259
00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:33,240
Speaker 2: acquired as a free agent, is third team. So those

260
00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:37,480
Speaker 2: are your three off season Oh oh, Marte Mapu. Okay,

261
00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:43,600
Speaker 2: he's fifth team on their depth chart, so whatever that means, right,

262
00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:46,800
Speaker 2: So none of these guys are team one, team two

263
00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:49,400
Speaker 2: on the depth chart. Now, Jake Hanson is second team,

264
00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:51,840
Speaker 2: so maybe somebody can battle with Jake.

265
00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:52,640
Speaker 3: I doubt EJ.

266
00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:55,040
Speaker 2: Speed would lose a gig, And I don't even know

267
00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:57,920
Speaker 2: if that's a gig to be where Jake Hanson is

268
00:13:57,920 --> 00:14:00,200
Speaker 2: sitting on the depth chart right now. It's just kind

269
00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:02,040
Speaker 2: of a rotation. And Jake does a hell of a

270
00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:04,959
Speaker 2: job on special teams. He's an absolute demon, so good

271
00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:07,280
Speaker 2: luck trying to replace him there. But I think this

272
00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:09,440
Speaker 2: adds up to really good news overall of the Houston

273
00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:10,280
Speaker 2: Texans defense.

274
00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:13,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, I just I look at the linebacker crew now

275
00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:17,080
Speaker 1: and I wonder out loud. I mean, we we've seen

276
00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:20,240
Speaker 1: some really good groups, Mark, I know, take it. Since

277
00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:23,080
Speaker 1: I got in the building at fourteen, you know, you

278
00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:26,240
Speaker 1: had Cush and b Mack. You know then you had

279
00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:30,320
Speaker 1: b Mack and Zach. When Zach Cunningham wanted to play,

280
00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:34,080
Speaker 1: then that was that was a really good group. We've

281
00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:37,400
Speaker 1: transitioned through a number of different combinations until we've gotten

282
00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:40,240
Speaker 1: to Henry and disease. But then you go beyond it,

283
00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:43,000
Speaker 1: like you mentioned EJ. Speed. You know, Wade drafted the

284
00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:46,400
Speaker 1: fourth round, Jake Hanson, who I think I think the

285
00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:48,840
Speaker 1: world of you know, have two Tampa guys, Wade Wood

286
00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:51,440
Speaker 1: as Jake Hanson. Sean was doing a fifty three man

287
00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:54,600
Speaker 1: roster kind of early early, early projection, and he started

288
00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:57,640
Speaker 1: talking about the linebackers, and I thought, man, how do

289
00:14:57,680 --> 00:15:00,760
Speaker 1: you fit everybody in there? And then I'm like, what

290
00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:03,720
Speaker 1: do you do with Scoob Jamal Hill who has been

291
00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:07,760
Speaker 1: very good on special teams, especially last year. And then

292
00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:12,040
Speaker 1: you mentioned Marte Mapu, who is He's one of those

293
00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:15,240
Speaker 1: chess pieces you love to have around because you know

294
00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:17,920
Speaker 1: he's got some safety in his background, He's got linebacker,

295
00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:22,160
Speaker 1: he's excellent on special teams. How do you fit all

296
00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:25,320
Speaker 1: these guys in to I mean, I think last year

297
00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:29,280
Speaker 1: they kept six spots. I think it was six. I'm

298
00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:33,400
Speaker 1: looking at it right now, going, well, I I can.

299
00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:37,400
Speaker 2: Go seven Johnny, I almost want I almost want to

300
00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:40,960
Speaker 2: avert my eyes during training camp because I just I

301
00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:42,400
Speaker 2: know they go at it so hard, and.

302
00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:43,800
Speaker 3: I'm like, don't get anybody hurt.

303
00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:46,840
Speaker 2: To me go, I know you want them to be

304
00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:50,360
Speaker 2: very physical, but don't get anybody hurt. Don't get my

305
00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:54,240
Speaker 2: children hurt here because I want to have those really

306
00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:58,200
Speaker 2: difficult decisions later. But you know how camp goes, you

307
00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:02,080
Speaker 2: get that requisite position group plague. You know, it always

308
00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:05,480
Speaker 2: affects like one spot on the team, one position group,

309
00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:06,960
Speaker 2: and you just don't want to see that. I don't

310
00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:08,520
Speaker 2: want to speak it to the being. If Hannah's listening,

311
00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:10,800
Speaker 2: she's gonna be really upset with me. So no, it's

312
00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:14,360
Speaker 2: not gonna happen. Not gonna happen. Yes, sorry, you know

313
00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:17,160
Speaker 2: she's listening. You'll hear you hear about it here. If

314
00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:19,480
Speaker 2: something does happen, it'll be your It'll be your fault,

315
00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:23,960
Speaker 2: for sure. There's no question about that. Okay, we know

316
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:27,520
Speaker 2: what the Texas have done, great news about disease, but

317
00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:28,520
Speaker 2: they're in a draft.

318
00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:33,680
Speaker 1: Did any of the AFC South teams give you pause

319
00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:38,240
Speaker 1: about what they did during the draft. We will look

320
00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:40,880
Speaker 1: at that next right here in Texas Welcome back to

321
00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:43,720
Speaker 1: this Wednesday edition of Texas All Access from Monday Texans

Speaker 1: Radio studio John Harris alongside Mark Vandermier. And if you

Speaker 1: go back and listen to us talk about that on

325

Speaker 1: al Shire signing a three year extension with your Houston Texans.

329
00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:12,919
Speaker 1: And I'll sum up if I can, because you know,

330
00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:17,080
Speaker 1: we'll be like your own AI. UH. Mark and John

331
00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:21,800
Speaker 1: are very happy, very very happy. The disease is sticking

332
00:17:21,840 --> 00:17:26,200
Speaker 1: around for the next three years, so it's this year

333
00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:29,960
Speaker 1: his last year, and then three beyond that. So yes,

334
00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:33,000
Speaker 1: he's going to be a Bridgeland guy, I believe Mark. Yeah,

335
00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:34,040
Speaker 1: so that math.

336
00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:34,680
Speaker 3: Works, it does.

337
00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:37,680
Speaker 1: So, Yeah, we're looking for a bunch of Bridgelan guys

338
00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:38,919
Speaker 1: around here exactly.

339
00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:41,200
Speaker 3: That's what it is. That's how we define them.

340
00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:43,960
Speaker 2: I was talking with Mike Toman, the President of the Texans,

341
00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:45,520
Speaker 2: about this. I said, Johnny and I have started to

342
00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:49,800
Speaker 2: label guys Bridgeland guys who we are very confident are

343
00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:51,480
Speaker 2: going to be here when the Texans move into the

344
00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:54,680
Speaker 2: Toro District on the northwest side of town. So can't

345
00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:56,880
Speaker 2: wait for that. But you know what, I can't wait.

346
00:17:56,960 --> 00:18:00,399
Speaker 2: Let's just enjoy this moment this season the MP up

347
00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:02,760
Speaker 2: to twenty twenty six, and then we'll deal with that later.

348
00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:04,760
Speaker 2: But it's gonna be very exciting when they get there.

349
00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:09,000
Speaker 1: No question about it. All Right. AFC South through in

350
00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:13,240
Speaker 1: the draft three teams Jacksonville, Tennessee in Indianapolis, and we'll

351
00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:15,560
Speaker 1: go in that order. We're gona start with Jacksonville and

352
00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:21,240
Speaker 1: this hurts to say, the defending AFC South champions in

353
00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:26,840
Speaker 1: Duval County. But Mark, I look just in general at

354
00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:30,640
Speaker 1: what the Jaguars have done this offseason, and I will

355
00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:33,679
Speaker 1: be the first to tell you that you can't go

356
00:18:33,760 --> 00:18:36,320
Speaker 1: by that. We've talked about that with the Texans. You're

357
00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:38,520
Speaker 1: going into twenty twenty five. You know, the Texas spent

358
00:18:38,560 --> 00:18:40,560
Speaker 1: a lot of money at twenty twenty four. They need

359
00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:42,600
Speaker 1: to do a ton going into twenty twenty five. Kind

360
00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:45,159
Speaker 1: of you know, salary cap kind of constricts you a

361
00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:49,040
Speaker 1: little bit. The Jaguars kind of in that position. This year.

362
00:18:49,520 --> 00:18:52,639
Speaker 1: They did not do a lot in free agency. In fact,

363
00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:59,919
Speaker 1: the losses yeah of Devin Lloyd, Yeah, Travis h Chan massive.

364
00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:01,919
Speaker 1: You could argue that those two are the most valuable

365
00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:05,600
Speaker 1: players on offensive defense for the Jaguars, and they really

366
00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:08,760
Speaker 1: didn't do a lot in free agency to replace them.

367
00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:11,679
Speaker 1: They signed Chris Rodriguez as they're running back to go

368
00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:14,720
Speaker 1: with base Shall Tuton and Leaquin Allen. I don't think

369
00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:17,280
Speaker 1: it's a bad move. Chris Rodriguez played for Liam Cohen

370
00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:20,280
Speaker 1: at Kentucky when Liam Cohen was the offensive coordinator there

371
00:19:20,280 --> 00:19:23,159
Speaker 1: for Mark Stoops. They did make a trade right before

372
00:19:23,160 --> 00:19:26,840
Speaker 1: the draft for our guy, Rooke a row Row and

373
00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:28,720
Speaker 1: I think he is gonna end up being a solid

374
00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:33,840
Speaker 1: player in that defense. But on draft weekend, to me,

375
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:36,600
Speaker 1: when I just hear kind of the national noise that's

376
00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:40,280
Speaker 1: out there, Mark, the name that keeps coming up, and

377
00:19:40,359 --> 00:19:43,679
Speaker 1: the thought that keeps coming up is Jim James Gladstone

378
00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:46,760
Speaker 1: trying to prove that he's smarter than everybody else. He

379
00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:50,720
Speaker 1: took Nate Morcachers his first pick in the second round

380
00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:55,280
Speaker 1: and then consistently took players that, as you would say,

381
00:19:55,720 --> 00:19:59,160
Speaker 1: not you, but just as people would say lower, I'm sorry,

382
00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:03,440
Speaker 1: higher than their census value. Now. I think they got

383
00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:05,440
Speaker 1: a great pick in Emmanuel Pregnant when they were able

384
00:20:05,480 --> 00:20:08,200
Speaker 1: to get him. But the two wide receivers they got,

385
00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:10,920
Speaker 1: I think Josh Cameron's more kind of a Weaponex, not

386
00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:14,680
Speaker 1: a Baylor CJ. Williams. The guy Stanford that I wasn't

387
00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:16,879
Speaker 1: sure was gonna getend up getting drafted. Then they drafted

388
00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:19,520
Speaker 1: another tight end who is kind of a big receiver,

389
00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:23,320
Speaker 1: Tanner kozial. I look at what they did in the draft,

390
00:20:23,400 --> 00:20:28,160
Speaker 1: Mark and I I just don't know how much better

391
00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:33,240
Speaker 1: the Jaguars got this offseason after losing Devin Lloyd, after

392
00:20:33,320 --> 00:20:37,200
Speaker 1: losing Travis h Chan. Your thoughts, well, you could argue that, okay,

393
00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:40,800
Speaker 1: they should be good again because they were good last year.

394
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:42,320
Speaker 3: They were really.

395
00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:44,720
Speaker 2: Good down the stretch. Let's just be honest here. But

396
00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:47,080
Speaker 2: Etn to me was such a big part of that

397
00:20:47,320 --> 00:20:51,959
Speaker 2: and the steadying force. Because everyone talks about Bachelle Tutin

398
00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:54,320
Speaker 2: and he's the guy now he's the running back and

399
00:20:54,359 --> 00:20:58,240
Speaker 2: he was sometimes the guy last year. But you tell me, Johnny.

400
00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:02,240
Speaker 2: They signed Chris Rodriguezjunior or who is not a bad

401
00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:06,360
Speaker 2: player by any stretch, But did they replace.

402
00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:08,760
Speaker 3: The production of ETN.

403
00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:12,200
Speaker 2: Did they get a back or do they have an

404
00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:15,880
Speaker 2: assembly of backs that can get you what he got you.

405
00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:18,640
Speaker 2: It's kind of like we lost Giambi. I'm going moneyball

406
00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:20,959
Speaker 2: here because I love it. Yeah, they lost Giambi. Can

407
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:25,840
Speaker 2: we recreate him? Can they recreate the ETN production? I

408
00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:28,919
Speaker 2: guess the answer is maybe, but I wouldn't be overly

409
00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:31,719
Speaker 2: confident about that. That's one question I have for you.

410
00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:33,800
Speaker 2: The other is, Bretton Strange is a good tight end,

411
00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:37,200
Speaker 2: good receiving tight end, Nate Borkatchier. Is that really gonna

412
00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:39,159
Speaker 2: help them a lot? Maybe it could, all right, but

413
00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:42,040
Speaker 2: he's a rookie coming in. And then on defense, you know,

414
00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:44,000
Speaker 2: you and I have talked about it. You know, when

415
00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:46,480
Speaker 2: you lose a Devin Lloyd, that's a really good player. Now,

416
00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:48,520
Speaker 2: I still think they're gonna be pretty decent on defense,

417
00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:52,119
Speaker 2: you know, Josh Heinz Allen, Trayvon Walker signed the extension.

418
00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:56,119
Speaker 2: Devon Hamilton in the middle. Look, they've got some guys,

419
00:21:56,240 --> 00:21:58,720
Speaker 2: they've got some guys. They were pretty good. They still

420
00:21:58,720 --> 00:22:01,399
Speaker 2: have our buddy Eric Murray in the secondary. But to me,

421
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:03,600
Speaker 2: I don't think they've gotten better, And I think that's

422
00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:05,879
Speaker 2: always scary you're not a ton better.

423
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:07,000
Speaker 3: Are you backsliding?

424
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:09,119
Speaker 2: Are you gonna be able to match the performance or

425
00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:11,359
Speaker 2: get close enough to it that you had in twenty

426
00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:12,439
Speaker 2: twenty five?

427
00:22:12,560 --> 00:22:14,680
Speaker 3: Your thoughts, Yeah, that's a great way.

428
00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:16,480
Speaker 1: That's a great way of saying it. As it pertains

429
00:22:16,520 --> 00:22:21,520
Speaker 1: to the running back situation, Let's say that, We'll say

430
00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:26,240
Speaker 1: that Travis H. Chan is U it's called him Lamborghini.

431
00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:31,199
Speaker 1: Lamborghini can do certain things with Chris Rodriguez is an

432
00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:35,720
Speaker 1: F one fifty. They're just they're they're different in the

433
00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:38,159
Speaker 1: way that they can be used and the way that

434
00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:39,520
Speaker 1: they probably will be used.

435
00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:42,440
Speaker 2: Isn't Tooton already kind of a maybe he's not an

436
00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:45,159
Speaker 2: F one to fifty, but kind of a truck ish player.

437
00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:49,480
Speaker 2: He's small ish in terms of height, but it feels

438
00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:51,360
Speaker 2: like he runs bigger than his size.

439
00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:52,919
Speaker 3: I don't know, Maybe I'm wrong about that.

440
00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:54,960
Speaker 1: No, that's a great point. That's a great point. But

441
00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:56,960
Speaker 1: he also runs four to three to three, so he's

442
00:22:57,000 --> 00:23:00,760
Speaker 1: got some speeds during him two. Okay, but I know

443
00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:03,840
Speaker 1: he doesn't have the running acumen that a Chan had.

444
00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:06,560
Speaker 1: But what always scares me about Tuton, and we saw

445
00:23:06,560 --> 00:23:08,320
Speaker 1: this in the playoff game against Buffalo. I remember we

446
00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:12,280
Speaker 1: were watching before we took off for New England and

447
00:23:13,119 --> 00:23:16,840
Speaker 1: Tutin had a drive in that game where he had

448
00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:21,840
Speaker 1: three runs chunks of yards on each run, and then

449
00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:23,640
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, we didn't see him again until

450
00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:26,000
Speaker 1: the third quarter. That was like late first, early second,

451
00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:28,359
Speaker 1: and then we literally didn't see him. They didn't put

452
00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:30,360
Speaker 1: him back in a game, and I thought, what are

453
00:23:30,359 --> 00:23:33,119
Speaker 1: they doing? Like Tutin is tearing up the Bills, and

454
00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:35,280
Speaker 1: I get it, you got eight chan, you got it, Okay,

455
00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:38,880
Speaker 1: he's your guy. But Tutin the way he reeled off

456
00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:41,280
Speaker 1: those runs against the Bills, I thought, oh, it's a problem.

457
00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:44,720
Speaker 1: This is a problem because if you know, I remember

458
00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:47,280
Speaker 1: the first quarter against the Bills, wood he was doing

459
00:23:47,320 --> 00:23:49,920
Speaker 1: that against the Bills. He was getting chunks of runs.

460
00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:52,680
Speaker 1: And then the Bills did buckle down, but we kept

461
00:23:52,720 --> 00:23:55,879
Speaker 1: going to Woody. The Jags went away from Tuton. So

462
00:23:56,840 --> 00:24:00,560
Speaker 1: I'll be honest, I like, I don't love I like

463
00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:04,919
Speaker 1: the running backs in combination in Jacksonville. Those street I

464
00:24:05,040 --> 00:24:10,280
Speaker 1: liked them, but a chance scared me. The other guys don't.

465
00:24:10,320 --> 00:24:13,600
Speaker 1: So much has scare me. It is when Rodriguez is

466
00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:16,320
Speaker 1: running the football. You got to bring your big boy pads,

467
00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:18,560
Speaker 1: and I think our defense knows how to do that.

468
00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:22,160
Speaker 1: They definitely have to do that. I thought the best

469
00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:26,040
Speaker 1: move that the Jaguars have made over the last I

470
00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:29,840
Speaker 1: don't know what seven eight months was the trade for

471
00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:31,320
Speaker 1: Jacoby Myers at the trade.

472
00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:32,920
Speaker 3: Deadline yep, during the season. Yep.

473
00:24:33,320 --> 00:24:36,879
Speaker 1: Brilliant, brilliant move. I mean it gave them everything they

474
00:24:36,880 --> 00:24:39,679
Speaker 1: were looking for. A somebody catch the damn ball from

475
00:24:39,760 --> 00:24:43,440
Speaker 1: Trevor and be a leader. Guy that's been around, He's

476
00:24:43,440 --> 00:24:46,440
Speaker 1: seen some things. He had been with with with Tom

477
00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:48,639
Speaker 1: Brady in New England. The guy had seen some things.

478
00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:51,440
Speaker 1: But the fact that he caught the ball and did

479
00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:53,800
Speaker 1: what they asked him to got to the spots they

480
00:24:53,880 --> 00:24:56,080
Speaker 1: needed him too. I think that was one of the

481
00:24:56,080 --> 00:24:58,680
Speaker 1: major reasons why Trevor took his game to a different level.

482
00:24:59,080 --> 00:25:03,879
Speaker 1: Ye Junior is still the question mark because Parker Washington,

483
00:25:04,520 --> 00:25:08,600
Speaker 1: that dude has He's becoming an elite slot receiver. So

484
00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:11,320
Speaker 1: you got Parker Washington, got Coke Myers. If Brian Thomas

485
00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:14,480
Speaker 1: Junior gets back to kind of his rookie year production,

486
00:25:15,280 --> 00:25:20,159
Speaker 1: now mark, they are a handful to stop. They are

487
00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:23,520
Speaker 1: a handful. But if anybody's gonna stop them. It's gonna

488
00:25:23,520 --> 00:25:25,920
Speaker 1: be our defense with our secondary matching up with them.

489
00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:28,960
Speaker 1: That said, Parker Washington killed us in the second game

490
00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:32,600
Speaker 1: at home, killed us. He beat everybody, didn't matter who

491
00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:36,439
Speaker 1: we put on him. He smoked everybody and caught a

492
00:25:36,440 --> 00:25:39,240
Speaker 1: couple of touchdowns, caught a touchdown that punt return. Mean,

493
00:25:39,280 --> 00:25:41,960
Speaker 1: he just he destroyed us in that game. So to me,

494
00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:46,960
Speaker 1: Brian Thomas Junior's assent, I think will tell us everything

495
00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:49,000
Speaker 1: we need to know about this Jags, especially the offense.

496
00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:51,440
Speaker 2: I don't see any less than I mean, look, I

497
00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:54,040
Speaker 2: think eight wins would be a disaster for them. I

498
00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:58,359
Speaker 2: think they're a nine win team at least, and people

499
00:25:58,359 --> 00:26:01,800
Speaker 2: in Jacksonville should be excited about that. I just think

500
00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:05,080
Speaker 2: the Texans should be better and we'll see if they

501
00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:06,679
Speaker 2: play better, you know, if they get off to a

502
00:26:06,680 --> 00:26:10,880
Speaker 2: better start. And thank you for uh straightened me out

503
00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:14,080
Speaker 2: on the pronunciation once again of hn and that ETN

504
00:26:14,160 --> 00:26:17,080
Speaker 2: like I was saying, I mean, geez, it's just okay.

505
00:26:17,560 --> 00:26:20,360
Speaker 2: It's look, that's his prerogative and it's the proper way

506
00:26:20,359 --> 00:26:22,320
Speaker 2: to pronounce the name, even though he let it go

507
00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:25,439
Speaker 2: for years, for years, he didn't say anything. All right,

508
00:26:25,480 --> 00:26:28,600
Speaker 2: never mind, I'm done. Yeah, okay, the.

509
00:26:28,600 --> 00:26:31,280
Speaker 1: Team that I'm not gonna sit here and tell you

510
00:26:31,359 --> 00:26:35,400
Speaker 1: that they scare me right now. But and there were

511
00:26:35,600 --> 00:26:37,880
Speaker 1: there were a little bit of news about the Tennessee

512
00:26:37,960 --> 00:26:44,560
Speaker 1: Titans yesterday. Chad Brinker, yeah, who was in the building

513
00:26:45,400 --> 00:26:49,160
Speaker 1: and was in charge of football ops, basically hired Mike

514
00:26:49,240 --> 00:26:53,040
Speaker 1: Morganzi to be a GM. So I don't know if

515
00:26:53,080 --> 00:26:55,480
Speaker 1: there was a power struggle or it just came to

516
00:26:55,680 --> 00:26:59,000
Speaker 1: that Chad was kind of phased out. Morganzi made all

517
00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:01,320
Speaker 1: the picks, is the GM. But Chad Brinker is out

518
00:27:01,359 --> 00:27:04,600
Speaker 1: with the Titans, and Mike Borgonzi is fully and completely

519
00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:08,120
Speaker 1: in charge alongside Robert Solid. Mike Borganzi is a Brown

520
00:27:08,200 --> 00:27:11,399
Speaker 1: University guys. So yeah, on days we don't play the Titans,

521
00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:14,800
Speaker 1: I like Borganzi. But other than that, as we go

522
00:27:14,880 --> 00:27:18,000
Speaker 1: into the draft, this is the team to me Mark

523
00:27:18,040 --> 00:27:21,119
Speaker 1: that I look at it and think, Okay. They made

524
00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:27,040
Speaker 1: the most progress this offseason from a free agent standpoint.

525
00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:29,880
Speaker 1: They added Bondelle Robinson as their slob receiver. Good move.

526
00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:34,760
Speaker 1: They traded for Jermaine Johnson edge rusher. They needed edge rusher.

527
00:27:35,119 --> 00:27:38,000
Speaker 1: They signed John Franklin Myers in free agency from Denver.

528
00:27:38,040 --> 00:27:39,760
Speaker 1: Paid him a lot of money, but they needed it

529
00:27:40,800 --> 00:27:43,440
Speaker 1: and that was a great move. In the secondary, the

530
00:27:43,560 --> 00:27:46,280
Speaker 1: two starting corners could be free agents. They signed and

531
00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:49,520
Speaker 1: Alonte Taylor came from New Orleans and Cordell flott who

532
00:27:49,560 --> 00:27:55,000
Speaker 1: came from the New York Giants. They added a boatload.

533
00:27:55,040 --> 00:27:57,919
Speaker 1: They added a couple offensive linemen as well, but I

534
00:27:57,920 --> 00:28:00,520
Speaker 1: I don't think those two are going to start, Austin

535
00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:03,880
Speaker 1: Schlottman at center and Cordell Volson at guard. But gotta

536
00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:07,200
Speaker 1: let that play out. They drafted Carnell Tate number four.

537
00:28:07,760 --> 00:28:10,600
Speaker 1: They moved up to go get Keldric Faulk with their

538
00:28:10,600 --> 00:28:12,280
Speaker 1: early second. They got him at the end of the

539
00:28:12,320 --> 00:28:16,199
Speaker 1: first I felt like this draft for them included Anthony

540
00:28:16,280 --> 00:28:18,800
Speaker 1: Hill junior from Texas in the second round. I think

541
00:28:18,840 --> 00:28:21,720
Speaker 1: he will start this year. I feel like Mark. They

542
00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:26,440
Speaker 1: have three bonafide starters and a guy potentially who could

543
00:28:26,440 --> 00:28:29,080
Speaker 1: step in in Nicolas Singleton running back from Penn State.

544
00:28:29,240 --> 00:28:31,439
Speaker 1: They got him in the fifth round. Your thoughts on

545
00:28:31,520 --> 00:28:34,600
Speaker 1: the Titans and their improvement.

546
00:28:34,119 --> 00:28:35,960
Speaker 3: Look, they're gonna be better. How could you be worse?

547
00:28:36,040 --> 00:28:36,280
Speaker 1: Right?

548
00:28:36,440 --> 00:28:40,920
Speaker 2: They have eight free agents that should or New acquisitions total.

549
00:28:41,440 --> 00:28:43,720
Speaker 2: That should start for them. But that's a good thing

550
00:28:43,800 --> 00:28:45,720
Speaker 2: when you were as bad as they were. I think

551
00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:48,560
Speaker 2: a lot of this is going to depend on how

552
00:28:48,600 --> 00:28:52,320
Speaker 2: good these receivers can be as a group, and how

553
00:28:52,360 --> 00:28:54,720
Speaker 2: good cam Ward can be in year two. Right, did

554
00:28:54,720 --> 00:28:57,240
Speaker 2: he get better? He's got to do staff working with him.

555
00:28:57,400 --> 00:28:59,959
Speaker 2: Can they put it together where he could hold it

556
00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:03,240
Speaker 2: down better. We saw some things from him against the Texans,

557
00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:05,440
Speaker 2: even when they were able to tie the game late

558
00:29:05,720 --> 00:29:08,240
Speaker 2: in Nashville, and you thought, oh wow, cam Ward has

559
00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:10,440
Speaker 2: something that's a little something right there. He's going up

560
00:29:10,440 --> 00:29:12,640
Speaker 2: against this defense and this team is desperate to win,

561
00:29:12,840 --> 00:29:14,959
Speaker 2: and he's able to tie the game late in his building,

562
00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:15,760
Speaker 2: they come up.

563
00:29:15,720 --> 00:29:16,200
Speaker 3: With a stop.

564
00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:18,000
Speaker 2: They got third and what was it, third and sixteen.

565
00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:19,680
Speaker 2: They got third and sixteen. They're gonna get the ball back.

566
00:29:19,720 --> 00:29:21,560
Speaker 2: He's gonna get a chance to win it, but sorry,

567
00:29:21,720 --> 00:29:25,040
Speaker 2: said Nico Collins and Davis Mills, and the Texans won

568
00:29:25,080 --> 00:29:27,840
Speaker 2: it on a fair baron kick. The point is that

569
00:29:27,880 --> 00:29:30,520
Speaker 2: they had some moments last year, and I think if

570
00:29:30,560 --> 00:29:33,480
Speaker 2: Ward is everything he's supposed to be, year two should

571
00:29:33,480 --> 00:29:36,480
Speaker 2: be a lot better. Trubisky's the backup, but you mentioned

572
00:29:36,480 --> 00:29:39,160
Speaker 2: the receivers. A lot of people thought, Carnell Tait, why

573
00:29:39,160 --> 00:29:41,800
Speaker 2: are you drafting the second best receiver on his own team?

574
00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:44,200
Speaker 2: But he's going to be better than what they had.

575
00:29:44,560 --> 00:29:47,560
Speaker 2: And then they pair him up with Calvin Ridley or

576
00:29:47,960 --> 00:29:51,200
Speaker 2: match him up with Calvin Ridley and Wandale Robinson. You know,

577
00:29:51,360 --> 00:29:53,240
Speaker 2: we talk about Tamar Dka all the time.

578
00:29:53,360 --> 00:29:54,000
Speaker 3: I am man Or.

579
00:29:54,160 --> 00:29:56,120
Speaker 2: You know, They've got some guys, if they put it together,

580
00:29:56,360 --> 00:29:58,320
Speaker 2: should be a lot better than they were. But I

581
00:29:58,320 --> 00:30:00,520
Speaker 2: don't know how much better, Johnny. I think the division,

582
00:30:00,520 --> 00:30:02,920
Speaker 2: it's not like this is a loaded division. We should,

583
00:30:03,040 --> 00:30:05,040
Speaker 2: you know, go nuts about it, but you did have

584
00:30:05,080 --> 00:30:08,200
Speaker 2: two playoff teams out of here, and midway through the

585
00:30:08,240 --> 00:30:10,200
Speaker 2: season it looked like the Colts were gonna be the

586
00:30:10,200 --> 00:30:14,600
Speaker 2: class of the AFC, possibly in a year where well

587
00:30:14,640 --> 00:30:17,320
Speaker 2: the Chiefs weren't fading just yet, but they weren't looking

588
00:30:17,400 --> 00:30:20,480
Speaker 2: quite like the Chiefs. And then the Colts fade out

589
00:30:20,960 --> 00:30:23,320
Speaker 2: and the Jacks and Texans both make the playoffs after

590
00:30:23,480 --> 00:30:24,720
Speaker 2: massive winning streaks.

591
00:30:24,800 --> 00:30:28,520
Speaker 3: So it's a tough division. But I think six six

592
00:30:28,600 --> 00:30:30,160
Speaker 3: wins ish something like that.

593
00:30:30,200 --> 00:30:32,560
Speaker 2: I know we're not making win predictions right now, but

594
00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:36,440
Speaker 2: they could be better. Six seven, get in there, and

595
00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:38,760
Speaker 2: you know what, if they win seven, Johnny, you could

596
00:30:38,760 --> 00:30:41,080
Speaker 2: be one of their victims. And that's not fun. It's

597
00:30:41,120 --> 00:30:43,560
Speaker 2: not fun to lose to the Titans. We experienced that

598
00:30:43,600 --> 00:30:47,400
Speaker 2: two years ago. If they're gonna flare up, they're gonna

599
00:30:47,440 --> 00:30:51,719
Speaker 2: beat Jacksonville Houston maybe both a time or two, and

600
00:30:51,800 --> 00:30:55,120
Speaker 2: that is gonna suck for whoever suffers the raw end

601
00:30:55,200 --> 00:30:57,680
Speaker 2: of that deal. But the Titans, they won't go anywhere

602
00:30:57,680 --> 00:30:59,640
Speaker 2: as far as postseason, but they could give you a

603
00:30:59,640 --> 00:31:02,520
Speaker 2: miss double Sunday and it could affect your chances at

604
00:31:02,520 --> 00:31:03,680
Speaker 2: seeding or something else.

605
00:31:05,440 --> 00:31:08,280
Speaker 1: They were a three win team and they beat us

606
00:31:08,280 --> 00:31:10,920
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty four. Yeah, of all the losses that

607
00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:13,360
Speaker 1: I can remember for the last how many ever years,

608
00:31:13,400 --> 00:31:15,720
Speaker 1: that one sticks with me, Like, how in the hell

609
00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:18,360
Speaker 1: did that happen? Okay, this is kind of a loaded question,

610
00:31:19,280 --> 00:31:25,520
Speaker 1: but I'm ask anyways, what if cam Ward struggles knowing

611
00:31:26,760 --> 00:31:30,800
Speaker 1: that twenty twenty sevens quarterback class is gonna be and

612
00:31:30,880 --> 00:31:34,080
Speaker 1: should be if everybody declares like we expect them to.

613
00:31:34,200 --> 00:31:36,280
Speaker 1: We don't know what's gonna happen with Brendan Soresby and

614
00:31:36,320 --> 00:31:37,600
Speaker 1: every you know, but he would have been in that

615
00:31:37,680 --> 00:31:40,720
Speaker 1: mix too. There is gonna be a tremendous mix of

616
00:31:40,800 --> 00:31:45,480
Speaker 1: quarterbacks that are gonna be available. What if Ward really

617
00:31:45,520 --> 00:31:49,920
Speaker 1: struggles and they win four games, would you think they

618
00:31:49,960 --> 00:31:52,920
Speaker 1: would be in the market to take a quarterback to

619
00:31:52,960 --> 00:31:56,800
Speaker 1: replace cam Ward? Or do you think this is cam Ward?

620
00:31:57,240 --> 00:32:00,479
Speaker 1: No matter what? Suffer through the ups and downs and

621
00:32:00,520 --> 00:32:01,560
Speaker 1: we just go forth.

622
00:32:01,680 --> 00:32:04,520
Speaker 2: Well, the bloom comes off the roads very quickly if

623
00:32:04,560 --> 00:32:07,680
Speaker 2: it's been two years and you haven't really done anything.

624
00:32:07,880 --> 00:32:09,760
Speaker 2: You know, he didn't have the kind of rookie season

625
00:32:09,760 --> 00:32:13,640
Speaker 2: that had games like CJ. Stroud and Jade and Daniels

626
00:32:13,680 --> 00:32:15,240
Speaker 2: and you know bo.

627
00:32:15,320 --> 00:32:18,320
Speaker 3: Nicks or you know anything like that. Right, he didn't

628
00:32:18,360 --> 00:32:18,800
Speaker 3: have that.

629
00:32:19,080 --> 00:32:22,960
Speaker 2: And Brian Dabeles the offensive coordinator, right, So if they

630
00:32:22,960 --> 00:32:27,080
Speaker 2: don't do well offensively, or if he doesn't show great improvement,

631
00:32:27,240 --> 00:32:30,120
Speaker 2: I mean, the pressure on tables ridiculous. Isn't he making

632
00:32:30,160 --> 00:32:32,640
Speaker 2: a boatload of cash to be the OC there? And

633
00:32:32,880 --> 00:32:35,400
Speaker 2: all right, I guess deservedly. So he's got some pelts.

634
00:32:35,760 --> 00:32:37,640
Speaker 2: But what did he do with Daniel Jones? He had

635
00:32:37,640 --> 00:32:39,840
Speaker 2: one really great year when they were running the snot

636
00:32:39,840 --> 00:32:41,800
Speaker 2: out of the ball with Sakwan Barkley and New York

637
00:32:41,800 --> 00:32:44,480
Speaker 2: made the playoffs, beat the Vikings in the playoffs. Look,

638
00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:47,520
Speaker 2: this has got to work for the Titans. If it doesn't,

639
00:32:47,560 --> 00:32:50,320
Speaker 2: you're gonna question both things, the hiring of Dable, who's

640
00:32:50,320 --> 00:32:53,000
Speaker 2: got a big contract, and the drafting of Ward. And

641
00:32:53,040 --> 00:32:56,240
Speaker 2: that's going to be really tough for the Nashvillians as

642
00:32:56,240 --> 00:32:58,000
Speaker 2: they get ready to see this team move into a

643
00:32:58,040 --> 00:33:01,680
Speaker 2: brand new, gorgeous stadium. Well, I'm here for it, Johnny.

644
00:33:01,880 --> 00:33:04,960
Speaker 2: I'm here for all the drama to see the Titans

645
00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:08,400
Speaker 2: go down. But they do have on paper what I

646
00:33:08,400 --> 00:33:12,640
Speaker 2: would think would be a pretty decent situation for improvement.

647
00:33:13,120 --> 00:33:15,800
Speaker 2: And if they do make that leap to six seven wins,

648
00:33:16,040 --> 00:33:19,440
Speaker 2: then next offseason you add help it receiver. You know,

649
00:33:19,480 --> 00:33:21,040
Speaker 2: you do a lot of different things because you still

650
00:33:21,080 --> 00:33:23,280
Speaker 2: have the draft, and they'll be much busier in free

651
00:33:23,280 --> 00:33:25,160
Speaker 2: agency as they get ready to move into the new

652
00:33:25,200 --> 00:33:26,080
Speaker 2: into the new building.

653
00:33:27,040 --> 00:33:29,479
Speaker 1: I just want them to trade Jeffrey Simmons. That's all

654
00:33:29,520 --> 00:33:34,120
Speaker 1: I want you to do. Titans, trade Jeffrey Simmons. Somehow struggle,

655
00:33:34,280 --> 00:33:36,600
Speaker 1: go to the trade deadline. You're one and seven, and

656
00:33:36,720 --> 00:33:39,800
Speaker 1: trade Jeffrey Simmons. That's all I want you to do. Okay,

657
00:33:39,840 --> 00:33:43,880
Speaker 1: I saved the most hated team for last the Horseshoe.

658
00:33:44,880 --> 00:33:47,200
Speaker 1: This is the cut off season has been for the Horseshoe.

659
00:33:48,120 --> 00:33:52,400
Speaker 1: Signed Alex Pierce, extended Alec Pearce, big, big, big money deal.

660
00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:56,160
Speaker 1: It forced them to trade Michael Pittman Junior. We said

661
00:33:56,200 --> 00:33:59,560
Speaker 1: before Michael Pittman Junior wasn't a guy that we lost

662
00:33:59,600 --> 00:34:04,200
Speaker 1: sleep in preparation. Solid didn't lose sleep. They did sign

663
00:34:04,320 --> 00:34:09,200
Speaker 1: Nick Westbrook aikine. They did not make another free agent

664
00:34:09,320 --> 00:34:14,880
Speaker 1: addition outside of extending Daniel Jones as well, he's the quarterback. Also,

665
00:34:14,880 --> 00:34:17,080
Speaker 1: they did have not traded Anthony Richardson, so I wonder

666
00:34:17,120 --> 00:34:20,080
Speaker 1: what's gonna happen with him soon. They did not sign

667
00:34:20,120 --> 00:34:22,080
Speaker 1: another free agent on the offensive side of the ball

668
00:34:22,320 --> 00:34:25,719
Speaker 1: other than Nick Westbrook Keene, which tells you they are

669
00:34:25,840 --> 00:34:29,959
Speaker 1: very confident in what they have. But they also lost

670
00:34:30,080 --> 00:34:33,360
Speaker 1: Braden Smith to the Texans, so kind of a double whammy.

671
00:34:33,880 --> 00:34:38,279
Speaker 1: They did not draft a rookie before Round four. Now,

672
00:34:38,280 --> 00:34:40,480
Speaker 1: they didn't have a ton of picks early on because

673
00:34:40,480 --> 00:34:43,600
Speaker 1: of the Sauce Gardner deal, but I think that tells

674
00:34:43,600 --> 00:34:47,960
Speaker 1: you offensively, Mark the Colts are very confident in what

675
00:34:48,120 --> 00:34:52,719
Speaker 1: they have on the roster already. That Jalen Travis can

676
00:34:52,760 --> 00:34:56,000
Speaker 1: step in for Braden Smith, Nick Westbrook Aikene steps in

677
00:34:56,080 --> 00:34:58,799
Speaker 1: for Michael Pittman Junior, and they just go right back

678
00:34:58,840 --> 00:35:00,840
Speaker 1: to the well of what they had first eight games

679
00:35:00,920 --> 00:35:01,439
Speaker 1: last year.

680
00:35:02,200 --> 00:35:05,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, look, Pittman, you're right, we didn't lose sleep. But

681
00:35:05,320 --> 00:35:09,400
Speaker 2: now when I'm Daniel Jones presumably healthy week one or

682
00:35:09,440 --> 00:35:13,600
Speaker 2: whenever he gets healthy, I dropped back to pass. Look,

683
00:35:13,640 --> 00:35:16,440
Speaker 2: I've got Pierce deep. Can Pierce be that guy? I

684
00:35:16,480 --> 00:35:19,880
Speaker 2: know he caught more intermediate type routes last year, but

685
00:35:20,800 --> 00:35:23,880
Speaker 2: I don't know, Johnny, it seems still like a collective

686
00:35:23,920 --> 00:35:26,680
Speaker 2: at receiver rather than I've got the number one guy.

687
00:35:26,560 --> 00:35:27,280
Speaker 3: Which is fine.

688
00:35:27,320 --> 00:35:29,680
Speaker 2: That could work out just fine for them, And maybe

689
00:35:29,680 --> 00:35:32,760
Speaker 2: Warren turns into a total Travis Kelce like beast.

690
00:35:32,840 --> 00:35:33,279
Speaker 1: I don't know.

691
00:35:33,520 --> 00:35:35,440
Speaker 2: Look, that's putting a lot on him, you know, just

692
00:35:35,520 --> 00:35:38,040
Speaker 2: be like sixty percent more seventy percent of that.

693
00:35:38,040 --> 00:35:38,760
Speaker 3: That's a lot.

694
00:35:38,960 --> 00:35:41,759
Speaker 2: But I do think the case four the Colts is

695
00:35:42,280 --> 00:35:46,680
Speaker 2: Warren turns out to be outstanding and really takes care

696
00:35:46,719 --> 00:35:49,360
Speaker 2: of whatever concerns you have about not having that total

697
00:35:49,440 --> 00:35:51,960
Speaker 2: number one guy. And I know people are saying Vandermier

698
00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:53,480
Speaker 2: Pierce is their number one. They're painting him like a

699
00:35:53,560 --> 00:35:56,239
Speaker 2: number one. Yeah, I know, but the thought is he's

700
00:35:56,320 --> 00:36:01,240
Speaker 2: not really a number one. He's definitely dangerous. He's really good.

701
00:36:01,600 --> 00:36:03,720
Speaker 2: Yards per catch is off the Richter scale.

702
00:36:04,160 --> 00:36:05,480
Speaker 3: But I don't know.

703
00:36:05,719 --> 00:36:08,280
Speaker 2: I don't know if he's a true belcow number one receiver,

704
00:36:08,560 --> 00:36:10,480
Speaker 2: and maybe that doesn't matter. Maybe that doesn't matter. And

705
00:36:10,520 --> 00:36:15,240
Speaker 2: defensively you always talk about Javarius Ward healthy, Sauce Gardner healthy.

706
00:36:15,520 --> 00:36:18,920
Speaker 2: Those two corners can make a lot of difference for

707
00:36:19,000 --> 00:36:21,640
Speaker 2: your defense. Kenny Moore is gonna be gone, I guess,

708
00:36:21,800 --> 00:36:24,120
Speaker 2: but you still got the two big guys in the middle,

709
00:36:24,120 --> 00:36:26,600
Speaker 2: Grover Steart to Forest Buckner. This is still a team

710
00:36:26,880 --> 00:36:28,440
Speaker 2: that can win a lot of games. Let's just be

711
00:36:28,520 --> 00:36:30,440
Speaker 2: honest here. They can win a lot of games as

712
00:36:30,440 --> 00:36:34,000
Speaker 2: long as Taylor keeps pumping those legs, moving the sticks,

713
00:36:34,280 --> 00:36:37,000
Speaker 2: and it makes life that much easier for Daniel Jones.

714
00:36:37,040 --> 00:36:40,840
Speaker 2: If Jones can be I don't know, eighty five percent

715
00:36:40,840 --> 00:36:42,440
Speaker 2: of what he was in the first eight games, you

716
00:36:42,520 --> 00:36:44,279
Speaker 2: really got something going here with Indy and they can

717
00:36:44,320 --> 00:36:45,680
Speaker 2: make a lot of noise. They get threatened for the

718
00:36:45,680 --> 00:36:48,680
Speaker 2: division if if things break down a little bit with

719
00:36:48,719 --> 00:36:50,120
Speaker 2: the Texans and the Jags.

720
00:36:50,280 --> 00:36:51,320
Speaker 3: But it's not gonna happen.

721
00:36:52,360 --> 00:36:55,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's not gonna happen. They've got to replace both linebackers.

722
00:36:55,640 --> 00:36:58,879
Speaker 1: They traded Zey here Franklin and they had to kind

723
00:36:58,880 --> 00:37:01,160
Speaker 1: of move some They had to move some people out.

724
00:37:01,160 --> 00:37:03,279
Speaker 1: They needed a couple of linebackers. They drafted a couple

725
00:37:03,239 --> 00:37:05,920
Speaker 1: of linebackers. CJ. Allen was their first pick in the

726
00:37:05,960 --> 00:37:09,000
Speaker 1: second round. Thought that was a good I thought that

727
00:37:09,040 --> 00:37:10,759
Speaker 1: was a great pick for them where they picked him.

728
00:37:10,760 --> 00:37:12,560
Speaker 1: A second round, they got Bryce Betcher, who is the

729
00:37:12,600 --> 00:37:15,160
Speaker 1: Houston Astros draft pick from a few years ago. And

730
00:37:15,160 --> 00:37:17,719
Speaker 1: then they drafted aj Halsey at safety and I think

731
00:37:17,719 --> 00:37:19,719
Speaker 1: he's got a chance to start. So I think you're

732
00:37:19,719 --> 00:37:25,520
Speaker 1: gonna see some new faces defensively between free agents and rookies.

733
00:37:25,920 --> 00:37:28,520
Speaker 1: And then know Kenny Moore. Now, nothing has been done

734
00:37:28,520 --> 00:37:31,880
Speaker 1: at this point with either Anthony Richardson or Kenny Moore,

735
00:37:32,360 --> 00:37:36,200
Speaker 1: but it's gonna happen. It's gonna happen because Kenny Moore,

736
00:37:36,960 --> 00:37:40,080
Speaker 1: they've they've already discussed it. They've discussed it openly that

737
00:37:40,440 --> 00:37:43,240
Speaker 1: both are looking to move on into a different direction.

738
00:37:43,719 --> 00:37:45,719
Speaker 1: I'll tell you this, I'm happy as can be about

739
00:37:45,760 --> 00:37:48,480
Speaker 1: that I am happy. I know Kenny Moore probably the

740
00:37:48,520 --> 00:37:50,600
Speaker 1: last couple of years wasn't what he was earlier in

741
00:37:50,600 --> 00:37:53,040
Speaker 1: his career. But that dude is a straight baller and

742
00:37:53,280 --> 00:37:55,480
Speaker 1: I hate facing him and I'm glad he will not

743
00:37:55,560 --> 00:37:56,600
Speaker 1: be with the Indiapolis call.

744
00:37:56,719 --> 00:37:59,680
Speaker 2: He actually he actually presented at the NFL annual meeting

745
00:37:59,719 --> 00:38:02,560
Speaker 2: for the owners, gms, and coaches and that was interesting.

746
00:38:02,600 --> 00:38:04,879
Speaker 2: He's an interesting guy for sure, and I know you've

747
00:38:04,880 --> 00:38:07,759
Speaker 2: always liked him as a player, as in disliked him

748
00:38:07,800 --> 00:38:11,200
Speaker 2: being a member of the Horseshoe. But Johnny, I still

749
00:38:11,239 --> 00:38:12,960
Speaker 2: go back to this with the Jags and the Colts

750
00:38:13,040 --> 00:38:15,839
Speaker 2: both obviously you're gonna make changes every year. Did they

751
00:38:15,880 --> 00:38:18,799
Speaker 2: make enough change and improvement? I always feel like with

752
00:38:18,880 --> 00:38:22,359
Speaker 2: the Texans years in which they don't improve enough on

753
00:38:22,360 --> 00:38:25,000
Speaker 2: one side of the ball or the other, especially when

754
00:38:25,000 --> 00:38:26,319
Speaker 2: they need some improvement.

755
00:38:26,480 --> 00:38:28,880
Speaker 3: It just you know, running it back.

756
00:38:29,040 --> 00:38:32,319
Speaker 2: It's okay, but it often doesn't work out the way

757
00:38:32,320 --> 00:38:34,319
Speaker 2: you wanted to. An injury or two, or every year

758
00:38:34,360 --> 00:38:37,560
Speaker 2: is different. Other teams rise up around you make life

759
00:38:37,560 --> 00:38:40,160
Speaker 2: more difficult, and I think that could happen with both

760
00:38:40,200 --> 00:38:42,880
Speaker 2: the Jags and the Colts. I think the Texans the

761
00:38:42,960 --> 00:38:45,360
Speaker 2: defense is so good, yet they still improve it somehow

762
00:38:45,400 --> 00:38:48,200
Speaker 2: with Reid Blanket Ship and the other changes we talked about,

763
00:38:48,200 --> 00:38:51,560
Speaker 2: with the new linebackers and of course Kate McDonald on

764
00:38:51,600 --> 00:38:54,560
Speaker 2: the defensive line and offense. Just adding David Montgomery alone,

765
00:38:54,600 --> 00:38:58,080
Speaker 2: I think is a real big addition for this team,

766
00:38:58,200 --> 00:39:01,200
Speaker 2: as the young receivers from last year up, because that

767
00:39:01,320 --> 00:39:03,319
Speaker 2: they were not the finished product at all last year.

768
00:39:03,480 --> 00:39:05,520
Speaker 2: But you saw Higgins on the rise, you saw Noel

769
00:39:05,560 --> 00:39:08,240
Speaker 2: make a difference, and if Noel takes that step forward,

770
00:39:08,600 --> 00:39:10,600
Speaker 2: it's like getting a new player in some ways. So

771
00:39:10,800 --> 00:39:12,439
Speaker 2: I'm eager to see all that works out.

772
00:39:13,160 --> 00:39:16,279
Speaker 1: Yeah, the Colts, there are always three opponents that are

773
00:39:16,360 --> 00:39:19,960
Speaker 1: going to be based on where you finished record wise.

774
00:39:20,640 --> 00:39:27,560
Speaker 1: For the Colts, that means Miami at home. Oh, then

775
00:39:28,280 --> 00:39:33,000
Speaker 1: it is a buye. Yeah, I mean it really is.

776
00:39:33,520 --> 00:39:38,680
Speaker 1: But it does mean Kansas City on the road and

777
00:39:38,920 --> 00:39:43,640
Speaker 1: Vikings on the road. Nice nice tough places to play. Yeah,

778
00:39:43,760 --> 00:39:45,400
Speaker 1: definitely a tough place to play. So the Colts are

779
00:39:45,400 --> 00:39:47,120
Speaker 1: going to have those three, you know, keep in mind

780
00:39:47,160 --> 00:39:50,440
Speaker 1: for the Texans that ends up being instead of Minnesota,

781
00:39:50,480 --> 00:39:53,120
Speaker 1: it's a trip to Green Bay instead of Kansas City.

782
00:39:53,200 --> 00:39:55,840
Speaker 1: It's a trip to La and instead of the Dolphins,

783
00:39:55,920 --> 00:39:58,040
Speaker 1: it's a home visit from the Buffalo Bills.

784
00:39:58,120 --> 00:40:00,440
Speaker 2: I still think I'd rather play the Charger Is then

785
00:40:00,520 --> 00:40:03,000
Speaker 2: the Chiefs on the road even there, Yeah.

786
00:40:02,840 --> 00:40:05,400
Speaker 1: I do too, I do too. So you know that's

787
00:40:05,719 --> 00:40:07,279
Speaker 1: you know, the Colts have gotta you know, kind of

788
00:40:07,280 --> 00:40:10,640
Speaker 1: handle that, uh on the as they're three. Now, the

789
00:40:10,719 --> 00:40:15,040
Speaker 1: Jaguars are gonna end up playing the Patriots at home.

790
00:40:16,160 --> 00:40:19,680
Speaker 1: They will then play the Broncos on the road, and

791
00:40:19,719 --> 00:40:24,480
Speaker 1: then they will play Chicago on the road. So if

792
00:40:24,520 --> 00:40:29,279
Speaker 1: you're comparing Jaguars Texans, all the other opponents are the same. Now,

793
00:40:29,280 --> 00:40:32,120
Speaker 1: I think the Jaguars and Texans flip where they play,

794
00:40:32,800 --> 00:40:35,879
Speaker 1: you know, if they play you know, they play. Sorry

795
00:40:35,920 --> 00:40:41,000
Speaker 1: the Jaguars play Cincinnati at home. I'm sorry, No Jags

796
00:40:41,000 --> 00:40:44,000
Speaker 1: go to Cincinnati. We get Cincinnati home. So that flips,

797
00:40:44,000 --> 00:40:46,680
Speaker 1: which you said, play the same opponents except for those three.

798
00:40:47,360 --> 00:40:49,360
Speaker 1: So a lot of times we were talking about schedule,

799
00:40:49,560 --> 00:40:52,040
Speaker 1: I look at those things. So just you know, keep

800
00:40:52,080 --> 00:40:54,520
Speaker 1: that in mind as you're looking at these particular teams,

801
00:40:54,520 --> 00:40:58,160
Speaker 1: the Jagson Colts in particular, that the Colts get the Dolphins,

802
00:40:58,280 --> 00:41:02,880
Speaker 1: the Chiefs, the Vikings, the Texicans get the Bills, the Chargers,

803
00:41:03,040 --> 00:41:09,399
Speaker 1: the Packers and Jaguars get they get New England, the

804
00:41:09,440 --> 00:41:13,799
Speaker 1: Denver Broncos and the Chicago Bears. Yeah. I don't know

805
00:41:13,840 --> 00:41:16,240
Speaker 1: that there's a lot of difference, to be honest, amongst

806
00:41:16,239 --> 00:41:17,920
Speaker 1: those three groups of schedules.

807
00:41:18,320 --> 00:41:21,399
Speaker 2: No, look, it depends on those seasons, how they're going

808
00:41:21,440 --> 00:41:23,840
Speaker 2: at the time and everything. But Green Bay in Chicago

809
00:41:23,960 --> 00:41:26,160
Speaker 2: right now looks like kind of a wash, right, you know,

810
00:41:26,239 --> 00:41:30,040
Speaker 2: pick your poison right there. Yeah, I'd probably I don't

811
00:41:30,040 --> 00:41:32,040
Speaker 2: know who I'd rather play, honestly, Johnny, I don't know.

812
00:41:32,080 --> 00:41:33,759
Speaker 2: The Bears could get really good this year. It could

813
00:41:33,800 --> 00:41:35,280
Speaker 2: get a lot better. I don't know if they surprised

814
00:41:35,360 --> 00:41:37,960
Speaker 2: me last year. We always it's I've always bet on

815
00:41:38,040 --> 00:41:39,359
Speaker 2: the low, you.

816
00:41:39,320 --> 00:41:40,040
Speaker 3: Know, so to speak.

817
00:41:40,080 --> 00:41:43,480
Speaker 2: I don't bet but just mentally on these shows with

818
00:41:43,600 --> 00:41:46,080
Speaker 2: the Bears. But I was wrong last year. They rose

819
00:41:46,160 --> 00:41:48,560
Speaker 2: up and they came on strong and won that division.

820
00:41:48,600 --> 00:41:51,759
Speaker 2: And good for them. The Packers, who knows. I don't

821
00:41:51,760 --> 00:41:54,360
Speaker 2: mind facing Jordan Love. We don't have to face Malik Willis.

822
00:41:54,440 --> 00:41:56,319
Speaker 2: We know that he's gonna be in Miami. Hey, maybe

823
00:41:56,320 --> 00:41:58,000
Speaker 2: they're better than we think. They'll go to Indy and

824
00:41:58,080 --> 00:42:01,759
Speaker 2: upset them. Yes, that would be nice, That would be

825
00:42:01,880 --> 00:42:05,400
Speaker 2: very nice. All right, got news going on around the league.

826
00:42:05,440 --> 00:42:08,320
Speaker 1: We'll hit the news in Houston, and it's good news

827
00:42:08,760 --> 00:42:11,879
Speaker 1: about your Texans. We'll do that next on Texans All Access.

828
00:42:12,760 --> 00:42:15,239
Speaker 1: We go on final segment this Wednesday issue at Texans

829
00:42:15,320 --> 00:42:19,080
Speaker 1: All Access from that Texans radio studio. Glad you are

830
00:42:19,320 --> 00:42:22,760
Speaker 1: with me. I am John Harris, your host footballal Sidlinde,

831
00:42:22,760 --> 00:42:25,960
Speaker 1: reporter for your Houston Texans go around in the NFL.

832
00:42:25,960 --> 00:42:28,560
Speaker 1: But if you missed the news earlier, and this will

833
00:42:28,640 --> 00:42:31,520
Speaker 1: lead me into one of the key pieces of news.

834
00:42:31,560 --> 00:42:35,680
Speaker 1: Happy to find this afternoon, Aziz al Shire sign a

835
00:42:35,760 --> 00:42:38,239
Speaker 1: three year or is going to sign a three year

836
00:42:38,719 --> 00:42:42,760
Speaker 1: extension with the Texans. Mark and I talked about earlier.

837
00:42:42,920 --> 00:42:46,560
Speaker 1: I'll give you the thirty second version. We're pumped. He

838
00:42:46,719 --> 00:42:51,160
Speaker 1: is the leader of that defense. No matter how good

839
00:42:51,200 --> 00:42:53,839
Speaker 1: everybody else is on that defense, and disease is really

840
00:42:53,920 --> 00:42:58,120
Speaker 1: damn good too. He's the leader. He talks to the front,

841
00:42:58,200 --> 00:43:01,640
Speaker 1: he communicates with the back. Everybody goes as zero goes.

842
00:43:02,520 --> 00:43:05,000
Speaker 1: I love that dude. I'm glad he is a Texan.

843
00:43:05,160 --> 00:43:07,360
Speaker 1: Mark and I feel the same way like he is

844
00:43:07,840 --> 00:43:12,239
Speaker 1: what this organization is all about now. I mentioned, as

845
00:43:12,280 --> 00:43:14,120
Speaker 1: Mark and I were talking about, this is probably about

846
00:43:14,120 --> 00:43:17,120
Speaker 1: a month ago. God, my name of Marcus Moser does

847
00:43:17,200 --> 00:43:20,560
Speaker 1: locked on Cowboys. I believe he's been covered to Cowboys

848
00:43:20,560 --> 00:43:24,840
Speaker 1: for a long time. And he made a comment about

849
00:43:24,880 --> 00:43:28,160
Speaker 1: how the Cowboys should give him a Casirio a call

850
00:43:28,200 --> 00:43:30,200
Speaker 1: and ask about as he's l Shire, he hadn't had

851
00:43:30,239 --> 00:43:34,440
Speaker 1: an extension call see if the Cowboys would do it.

852
00:43:34,600 --> 00:43:39,320
Speaker 1: Well after I saw the extension news and I don't

853
00:43:39,320 --> 00:43:44,440
Speaker 1: recall exactly where I saw whose reporting is, but it

854
00:43:44,480 --> 00:43:47,240
Speaker 1: was reported that the Cowboys. Keep in mind, the Cowboys

855
00:43:47,239 --> 00:43:51,600
Speaker 1: traded for de Winters on Draft Friday or Saturday. They

856
00:43:51,640 --> 00:43:54,239
Speaker 1: traded for the linebacker from San Francisco. Very good player

857
00:43:54,320 --> 00:43:57,400
Speaker 1: played at TCU, really good athlete, really good player, not

858
00:43:57,480 --> 00:43:59,160
Speaker 1: as ease, but a good linebacker. And I think they

859
00:43:59,200 --> 00:44:02,840
Speaker 1: end up getting giving up a fifth forum. But apparently

860
00:44:02,880 --> 00:44:06,560
Speaker 1: the Cowboys dig call about Aziz al Shire. I mean,

861
00:44:06,600 --> 00:44:10,960
Speaker 1: good on them, that's what they should be doing. And

862
00:44:11,880 --> 00:44:14,080
Speaker 1: I just you know, when I saw that Marcus Mosure thing,

863
00:44:14,120 --> 00:44:18,040
Speaker 1: I thought, Okay, it's not gonna happen. But very similar

864
00:44:18,040 --> 00:44:20,600
Speaker 1: to the Jordan Schultz report that Nick Casserio is shot

865
00:44:20,640 --> 00:44:24,360
Speaker 1: down the other day and I shoot your shot. Teams

866
00:44:24,400 --> 00:44:27,600
Speaker 1: apparently were calling about Nico Collins. And again, let's be

867
00:44:27,719 --> 00:44:30,080
Speaker 1: very clear, this is not Nick Caseiria or calling and

868
00:44:30,200 --> 00:44:34,040
Speaker 1: shopping a player. This is calling up and saying, hey,

869
00:44:34,880 --> 00:44:38,080
Speaker 1: what about that Nico Collins character? And Nick is like yeah,

870
00:44:38,120 --> 00:44:42,040
Speaker 1: thanks for no thanks. The team called, the team was interested,

871
00:44:42,760 --> 00:44:45,320
Speaker 1: so it gets put out there in a tweet. Apparently

872
00:44:45,719 --> 00:44:49,640
Speaker 1: Cowboys were very interested in aziz al Shire and for

873
00:44:49,719 --> 00:44:53,800
Speaker 1: good reason, Low and behold Today Wednesday, April twenty ninth,

874
00:44:54,080 --> 00:44:57,400
Speaker 1: three year extension for a ziz al Shire could be

875
00:44:57,480 --> 00:45:02,320
Speaker 1: more excited for asease. That is just tremendous, tremendous stuff.

876
00:45:02,360 --> 00:45:07,600
Speaker 1: So good on the Texans for getting that taken care of. Okay,

877
00:45:07,920 --> 00:45:13,319
Speaker 1: this piece of news, it involves a Texans opponent, and

878
00:45:13,360 --> 00:45:18,760
Speaker 1: it evolves a former Texan and it comes from Mary

879
00:45:18,840 --> 00:45:24,319
Speaker 1: Ka Cabot. She's been the beat writer for Cleveland dot

880
00:45:24,360 --> 00:45:28,680
Speaker 1: com for a long time and does a great job

881
00:45:28,760 --> 00:45:36,919
Speaker 1: covering the Browns. She tweeted today that Deshaun Watson has

882
00:45:36,960 --> 00:45:44,720
Speaker 1: emerged from voluntary mini camp with an edge over Shoudure Sanders. Now,

883
00:45:44,800 --> 00:45:49,160
Speaker 1: the Browns have not declared anything, but she went on

884
00:45:49,200 --> 00:45:52,480
Speaker 1: to say further with my breaking news here that Deshaun

885
00:45:52,480 --> 00:45:54,400
Speaker 1: Watson has taking the lead over Shadur Sanders in the

886
00:45:54,440 --> 00:45:58,000
Speaker 1: Browns QB competition and has the inside track to win it.

887
00:45:58,520 --> 00:46:01,880
Speaker 1: I think they should declare him QB one asap and

888
00:46:01,920 --> 00:46:04,120
Speaker 1: I'll let the first team offense start to cook. There's

889
00:46:04,200 --> 00:46:09,880
Speaker 1: no time to waste. I don't disagree. I think sometimes

890
00:46:09,880 --> 00:46:11,839
Speaker 1: with the whole naming of a QB one, I think

891
00:46:11,880 --> 00:46:15,799
Speaker 1: that can get kind of I don't know, performative in

892
00:46:15,800 --> 00:46:17,719
Speaker 1: a sense. Is that is that the word you use?

893
00:46:18,400 --> 00:46:21,680
Speaker 1: Sometimes it gets that way. But I do think she's

894
00:46:21,680 --> 00:46:24,320
Speaker 1: got a point that offense needs to start cooking a

895
00:46:24,360 --> 00:46:27,000
Speaker 1: little bit. They've added a number of pieces, you know,

896
00:46:27,120 --> 00:46:30,480
Speaker 1: from the time DeShawn has joined the team. Harrowd Fanna joined,

897
00:46:30,560 --> 00:46:33,759
Speaker 1: last year's a tight end, quin Shawn Judkins at running back.

898
00:46:33,800 --> 00:46:37,439
Speaker 1: They've reset the entire offensive line, Elton Jenkins, Titus Howard,

899
00:46:37,560 --> 00:46:41,640
Speaker 1: Zion Johnson Spencer final they drafted, they drafted Casey Concepcion

900
00:46:41,920 --> 00:46:46,880
Speaker 1: and Denzel Boston. They already have Jerry Judy. That's an

901
00:46:46,920 --> 00:46:51,320
Speaker 1: offense that needs to be together, and it does appear

902
00:46:52,320 --> 00:46:55,440
Speaker 1: as if Deshaun Watson's gonna be QB one. Now o coup.

903
00:46:55,480 --> 00:46:57,640
Speaker 1: Once ago, when that information you know, hey, it looks

904
00:46:57,640 --> 00:47:00,239
Speaker 1: like DeShawn might be coming back. I remember thinking Jeall

905
00:47:00,239 --> 00:47:04,480
Speaker 1: probably gives them the best opportunity to win. But DeShawn

906
00:47:04,520 --> 00:47:06,920
Speaker 1: can go win six games, you can go win seven games,

907
00:47:07,560 --> 00:47:10,040
Speaker 1: But can you get them eight to the playoffs? B

908
00:47:10,760 --> 00:47:12,440
Speaker 1: Is there a ceiling on what he can do? And see?

909
00:47:12,480 --> 00:47:14,440
Speaker 1: Are you any too many games that you won't get

910
00:47:14,480 --> 00:47:18,120
Speaker 1: the quarterback in your future next year? Interesting stuff? The

911
00:47:18,160 --> 00:47:23,919
Speaker 1: Texans will play the Cleveland Browns in Cleveland this year?

912
00:47:23,960 --> 00:47:25,920
Speaker 1: Will it be to Sean Watson on the other side

913
00:47:26,040 --> 00:47:29,319
Speaker 1: that it remains to be seen? Grats disease, Thank you

914
00:47:29,320 --> 00:47:31,320
Speaker 1: guys for being here. We'll see you next time, and

915
00:47:31,400 --> 00:47:32,480
Speaker 1: as always, go Texans.
