Speaker 1: Welcome to everybody to a Wednesday edition of Texans All

00:00:02,680 --> 00:00:10,160
Speaker 1: Access from Monday Texans Radio Studio mobile version. Insert name

3
00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:15,080
Speaker 1: of California city here. Yeah, I am doing the show

4
00:00:15,680 --> 00:00:23,079
Speaker 1: from La not Louisiana, not Lower Alabama, Los angel Lis. Yes,

5
00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:25,520
Speaker 1: welcome in. I'm your host, John Harris, football analyst and

6
00:00:25,640 --> 00:00:28,640
Speaker 1: sideline reporter. Glad to be with you as I am

7
00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:32,480
Speaker 1: every single evening, or so it seems, but a couple

8
00:00:32,479 --> 00:00:34,600
Speaker 1: of weeks so that. But I'm glad to be here.

9
00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:40,400
Speaker 1: And I love talking NFL, Texans, Texans, NFL anything that

10
00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:42,280
Speaker 1: has to do with football. You know, I loved talking

11
00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:46,760
Speaker 1: about it. So no sweat off my back here whatsoever. Now,

12
00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:48,760
Speaker 1: over the last couple of nights, I've been playing for

13
00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:54,160
Speaker 1: you the Ultimate NFL Draft that Drew Doherty and I did,

14
00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:59,760
Speaker 1: and it was a blast. Essentially, the task was thirty

15
00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:04,240
Speaker 1: two teams, thirty two players, one player from each team.

16
00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:06,880
Speaker 1: No player could be picked twice, like you can't. You

17
00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:12,440
Speaker 1: couldn't pick h Deon Sanders from the Falcons and then

18
00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:14,200
Speaker 1: I picked him for the forty Nineers. No, you could

19
00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:17,560
Speaker 1: pick one player pick that team. Now I could have

20
00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:19,440
Speaker 1: picked Deon Sanders for the forty nine ers, but I

21
00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:21,800
Speaker 1: didn't have that chance because Drew picked him and claimed

22
00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:25,679
Speaker 1: him for the Falcons. This exercise was, as I've mentioned

23
00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:28,679
Speaker 1: last couple of nights, it was thought provoking. In man,

24
00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:31,240
Speaker 1: it's just he goes. I mean, we had the greatest

25
00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:33,200
Speaker 1: players of all time to pick from, and we had

26
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:36,520
Speaker 1: to pick one from each team. There were some teams,

27
00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:40,800
Speaker 1: obviously the Texans being a new franchise, like yeah, what

28
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:43,640
Speaker 1: were what were we gonna do about that? I think

29
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:48,559
Speaker 1: we handled it pretty well, but this was our final round.

30
00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:52,680
Speaker 1: I have that for you, amongst other things. Tonight's show,

31
00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:55,440
Speaker 1: we're also going to have a few Drews dozen and

32
00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:59,720
Speaker 1: I think we may hear from coach David Culley, who

33
00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:01,720
Speaker 1: was with Mark and I before we went to the break.

34
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:04,120
Speaker 1: So we'll have all that tonight. But let's start with

35
00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:08,360
Speaker 1: our wrap up of the in the lab ultimate draft

36
00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:11,920
Speaker 1: through take it away. I'm picking cursed today you are,

37
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:15,440
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna stay local. You already took JJ Watt

38
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:17,959
Speaker 1: smartly from the Texans. That was a great choice I did.

39
00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:22,000
Speaker 1: I'm going with dre Andre Johnson is my choice. He's

40
00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:24,799
Speaker 1: my Texan. I don't need to explain to anyone on here,

41
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:27,560
Speaker 1: but he's paring up nicely with my other wide receiver.

42
00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:29,800
Speaker 1: I only have one other wide receiver right now, that's

43
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:34,520
Speaker 1: Calvin Johnson. So good luck defending those two, especially with

44
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:36,639
Speaker 1: all the weapons that are gonna be around Andre Johnson

45
00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:39,040
Speaker 1: in the offensive line that's gonna be blocking for the

46
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:41,720
Speaker 1: running backs. Playing with Andre Johnson, I have a feeling

47
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:44,880
Speaker 1: Andre Johnson. He was a guy who got butt naked

48
00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:48,679
Speaker 1: wide open and time and time and time again. He's

49
00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:51,400
Speaker 1: gonna do that with this team too. I like I

50
00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:53,840
Speaker 1: like the way you put that. I'm a little a

51
00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:56,320
Speaker 1: little graphic for some out there, but I like the

52
00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:58,240
Speaker 1: way you put that. I have no problem with that,

53
00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:03,480
Speaker 1: and I going to seemingly follow you up Drew with

54
00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:08,720
Speaker 1: the theme of Houston because I'm drafting Houstonian. Okay, Well,

55
00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:12,160
Speaker 1: he played his college ball in the city of Houston.

56
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:15,359
Speaker 1: Now when people hear that, they immediately think, oh, University

57
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:22,000
Speaker 1: of Houston. H No, you're beefing up your pass rush s.

58
00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:25,240
Speaker 1: You stands for Texas Southern and I need a New

59
00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:29,360
Speaker 1: York Giant, and I as great as the Giants franchise

60
00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:30,920
Speaker 1: has been in there a lot of different ways that

61
00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:36,680
Speaker 1: you could have gone here, but second pick, and I

62
00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:40,080
Speaker 1: gave some consideration to Harry Carson, even though I like

63
00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:42,040
Speaker 1: my three linebackers, the Carson was a little bit of

64
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:43,520
Speaker 1: a thumper. He ended up making the Hall of Fame.

65
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:46,680
Speaker 1: Eventually thought about Emlett Tannelle, who was one of the

66
00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:52,920
Speaker 1: great corner returners, but I thought, man, the longevity, the

67
00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:55,840
Speaker 1: greatness of Michael Strahan was too much to pass up.

68
00:03:56,160 --> 00:04:00,240
Speaker 1: So my first pick in the fourth round for day

69
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:05,760
Speaker 1: is going to be from Texas Southern University, giant, great

70
00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:09,200
Speaker 1: Hall of Famer Michael Strahand. Okay, it's tough to argue

71
00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:13,080
Speaker 1: about that. I mean, that's so. Now I've got on

72
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:19,039
Speaker 1: my defensive line. My outside guys are Strayhand Smith Von

73
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:21,520
Speaker 1: Miller at outside linebacker, Pren how I want to use him,

74
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:23,880
Speaker 1: and then JJ Watt depending on how I want to

75
00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:26,880
Speaker 1: use him. Aaron Donald is inside with Cortez Kennedy. I

76
00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:28,720
Speaker 1: feel like I got sized, I got speed, I got

77
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:31,400
Speaker 1: explosives again, versutility. I feel good about my defensive line.

78
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:34,880
Speaker 1: I feel strong about that group. Lots of stuff you

79
00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:37,120
Speaker 1: can do, that's for sure, and I don't think I've

80
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:39,920
Speaker 1: done yet. But yeah, I'm not sure. You know, we

81
00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:42,920
Speaker 1: were talking about the Bengals earlier, and I'm gonna take

82
00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:45,240
Speaker 1: my Bengal and I gotta admit I had to look.

83
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:49,120
Speaker 1: I'd look deep into the Bengals history because I think

84
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:50,640
Speaker 1: at the Bengals, I think of Mono Us, I think

85
00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:54,440
Speaker 1: of you know, Ken Anderson, Boomer Sison, good quarterbacks. Nothing guys.

86
00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:56,839
Speaker 1: I want Andy Dalton too, Nothing guys I want leading

87
00:04:56,880 --> 00:05:00,120
Speaker 1: my team. Icky Woods loved him. He had a great

88
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:05,480
Speaker 1: ear in eighty eight. But the shuffle not gonna go there. Defensively,

89
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:07,760
Speaker 1: you know they have, They've had some really solid guys

90
00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:10,240
Speaker 1: who have been Pro Bowlers, all Pros over the last

91
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:13,960
Speaker 1: decade or two. I was tempted. I just said no,

92
00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:18,240
Speaker 1: but I'm gonna go to the secondary. The guy who's

93
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:21,880
Speaker 1: fifth or fourth on the all time interceptions career NFL

94
00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:25,680
Speaker 1: not singles career interceptions list, he played a long time

95
00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:29,159
Speaker 1: late sixties through the early eighties. He was a corner.

96
00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:32,360
Speaker 1: He could be my fifth or six guy coming off

97
00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:36,240
Speaker 1: the bench, helping out guarding your Jerry Rice Randy Moss combo,

98
00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:40,640
Speaker 1: We'll go with Ken Riley. Yeah, he's my corner. So

99
00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:44,960
Speaker 1: Ken Riley, Yeah, he's a rattler from Florida. A and

100
00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:46,880
Speaker 1: M I love it. It's great. Yeah, I mean, if

101
00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:48,479
Speaker 1: you want to give me some more or give the

102
00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:50,880
Speaker 1: folks out there more of a background. But he has

103
00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:53,760
Speaker 1: sixty five career picks. That's pretty good. But if you

104
00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:56,520
Speaker 1: know anything else. One of the things, one of the

105
00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:59,480
Speaker 1: things about the the NFL that was that was interesting

106
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:03,320
Speaker 1: and really help the growth of the NFL was the

107
00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:10,440
Speaker 1: rise of drafting HBCU players historically block college universities, and

108
00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:14,240
Speaker 1: that was a big, big thing in the AFL. That

109
00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:17,400
Speaker 1: was massive in the AFL. To start, it was the Raiders. Um,

110
00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:19,599
Speaker 1: they did a number of Steelers did that. Then they

111
00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:21,280
Speaker 1: had a scot actually he's going to the halfen this year,

112
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:23,680
Speaker 1: guy by the name of Bill Nunn. They went out

113
00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:25,920
Speaker 1: and found the guy at Alabama A and M named

114
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:29,480
Speaker 1: John Stalwarth. They found players at those universities and one

115
00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:34,479
Speaker 1: of the better HBCUs in that time was Florida A

116
00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:37,400
Speaker 1: and M. And Ken Riley played for Florida A and

117
00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:39,320
Speaker 1: M was a tremendous player for them for a long time.

118
00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:41,560
Speaker 1: Went to the Bengals, had a tremendous career with the Bengals.

119
00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:43,960
Speaker 1: I think he played the entire career with the Bengals

120
00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:48,080
Speaker 1: and he was. He was kind of Namdi Asomwa before

121
00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:50,279
Speaker 1: Nambi Awsomwa that he was that kind of he was

122
00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:52,680
Speaker 1: that kind of player. He was a really good player. Um,

123
00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:54,840
Speaker 1: I have a connection to Florida A and M. Um.

124
00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:57,640
Speaker 1: That's probably my favorite because my quarterback who I was

125
00:06:57,760 --> 00:07:00,520
Speaker 1: very close with. Um he went and played for FOURDA

126
00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:02,599
Speaker 1: A and M. And his dad was at Florida A

127
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:05,080
Speaker 1: and M just after Ken Riley and won the first

128
00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:07,080
Speaker 1: ever national championship at Florida A and M when he

129
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:09,880
Speaker 1: was a quarterback. So um, Albert Chester and Albert Chester

130
00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:12,760
Speaker 1: the second those two um are are very close to me.

131
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:15,560
Speaker 1: And so Flourida A and M. I you know, whenever

132
00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:19,520
Speaker 1: and and plus the marching rather one hundred and that

133
00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:22,200
Speaker 1: green and orange is kind of a unique combination. But

134
00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:24,320
Speaker 1: when you see it, you're like, yeah, so I love

135
00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:25,800
Speaker 1: and he mentioned in Florida A and M that we

136
00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:27,520
Speaker 1: can have on the show it's cut. Yeah, and he,

137
00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:29,800
Speaker 1: like I said, he's not a household name, but I

138
00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:33,360
Speaker 1: feel perfectly fine looking at what his body works. Absolutely yeah,

139
00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:35,680
Speaker 1: he's He's one of the most valuable players in Bengals

140
00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:40,640
Speaker 1: franchise history. When it like the that's basically the Pro

141
00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:45,560
Speaker 1: Football Reference definition of war as Baseball's war. It's says Avy,

142
00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:48,360
Speaker 1: he's up there. Anyways, your turn, you're picking, and you

143
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:49,800
Speaker 1: know what he is, Drew, you know what he is.

144
00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:52,480
Speaker 1: I picked Larry Wilson the Cardinals, and people are gonna

145
00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:56,040
Speaker 1: hear Larry Wilson like, whoa wait a second number eight. Yeah,

146
00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:58,960
Speaker 1: he's one of the greats of all time. But you're

147
00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:00,800
Speaker 1: a lot of people won't know just because he played

148
00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:03,120
Speaker 1: at that in that period. Ken Roley's that's that play,

149
00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:06,480
Speaker 1: Ken Riley is. That is your Larry Wilson, basically a

150
00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:08,360
Speaker 1: great player, and not a lot of people know about.

151
00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:09,840
Speaker 1: Now I'm going to a great player. I think a

152
00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:12,840
Speaker 1: lot of people do know. I got a bolster my

153
00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:15,280
Speaker 1: corner position, my two safeties that feel very very good about,

154
00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:18,400
Speaker 1: and that's Larry Wilson Ed Reid. With my corner, I

155
00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:21,200
Speaker 1: only have Darryl Green, which, by the way, there was

156
00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:23,520
Speaker 1: a Peyton Places episode the other day that had Darryl

157
00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:25,080
Speaker 1: Green in it because they were talking about speed. It

158
00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:27,680
Speaker 1: was really really good and it got me feeling even

159
00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:29,640
Speaker 1: better about my pick at Darryl Green. But I got

160
00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:32,240
Speaker 1: a bolster that position. So I'm going to the Steelers

161
00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:37,320
Speaker 1: and man, there are a lot of different ways to go, yes,

162
00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:42,160
Speaker 1: and at that position, dude, and that's what I'm saying. Yeah,

163
00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:48,080
Speaker 1: But I went with Rod Woodson. Yeah, because with Woodson

164
00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:52,600
Speaker 1: I get a little bit of return skills as well,

165
00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:56,880
Speaker 1: so I get that covered now. I feel like, yeah,

166
00:08:56,960 --> 00:08:58,600
Speaker 1: he could play a lot of different places. He could

167
00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:01,240
Speaker 1: play safety well. With the Studs played corner, he was

168
00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:03,040
Speaker 1: one of the best corners to ever lived. Then he

169
00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:05,280
Speaker 1: transitioned to safety, and he kind of was one of

170
00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:08,160
Speaker 1: the first to start that corner to safety transition and

171
00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:13,280
Speaker 1: being successful. But at corner he was unbelievable. And at

172
00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:15,680
Speaker 1: Purdue when he was in college, he actually played both ways.

173
00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:19,960
Speaker 1: So I love guys that can do that. And I

174
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:22,880
Speaker 1: went with Woodson over mel Blunt, even though mel Blunt

175
00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:25,480
Speaker 1: changed the game and didn't even really know it. Mel

176
00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:27,520
Speaker 1: blow was the side of the linebacker plied corner. I

177
00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:29,720
Speaker 1: just felt like I get a little bit of extra

178
00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:33,840
Speaker 1: as Mark likes to say, land yap with Woodson because

179
00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:36,199
Speaker 1: he does have the return game in addition. So I'm

180
00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:39,480
Speaker 1: going Rod Woodson to star opposite derrire Green Soup to

181
00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:46,800
Speaker 1: nat Stars line yap. That's my bad, Mark vandamer impersonation. Okay, yeah,

182
00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:49,480
Speaker 1: line yap and soup to nuts two weren't like phrases

183
00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:51,920
Speaker 1: he always brings up and I'm like, well, what's that mean?

184
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:53,959
Speaker 1: And Last House of the Left. I've never been Last

185
00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:55,760
Speaker 1: House of the Left. I've never heard that, but I

186
00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:57,760
Speaker 1: get it now and it makes a lot of sense.

187
00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:00,559
Speaker 1: He says it about like three times times a year,

188
00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:04,200
Speaker 1: and I'm always anyways, okay that that would be a

189
00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:08,000
Speaker 1: podcast for another time. Okay, I don't have I don't

190
00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:12,360
Speaker 1: have a player from Washington. Oh, don't want to get

191
00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:14,680
Speaker 1: a hog? Do I want to get one of those

192
00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:17,240
Speaker 1: guys from you know, the super Bowl run, three time

193
00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:21,360
Speaker 1: super Bowl champs in the eighties early nineties. No, I'm

194
00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:26,200
Speaker 1: gonna go with an absolute legend, legend of the game.

195
00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:29,440
Speaker 1: They've got an award named after him. He was a

196
00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:33,840
Speaker 1: movie star. He played This is kind of like he's

197
00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:36,560
Speaker 1: basically the Golden Boy. You're Golden boy Paul Horning before

198
00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:38,440
Speaker 1: Paul Horning, and he was even more of a star,

199
00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:44,680
Speaker 1: slinging Sammy Bah from we in Texas, out in West Texas.

200
00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:49,040
Speaker 1: So he won, you know, passing titles he won as

201
00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:51,840
Speaker 1: a rookie, He won the passing title end an NFL

202
00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:56,640
Speaker 1: championship with Washington in nineteen forty three, though he led

203
00:10:56,679 --> 00:11:00,760
Speaker 1: the league in passing yards interceptions because he played safety,

204
00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:03,800
Speaker 1: played both ways and punting. So I've got my punter here,

205
00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:06,400
Speaker 1: and if my quarterback home, I'm gonna pick a little

206
00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:08,520
Speaker 1: bit later. If he ever gets in trouble, ever gets

207
00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:12,840
Speaker 1: uh injured, Sammy's gonna bring us home. Sammy's gonna play quarterback,

208
00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:14,640
Speaker 1: but at the very least he's gonna punt. He can

209
00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:18,400
Speaker 1: maybe fill ins as a defensive back. Sammy Ball is

210
00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:24,560
Speaker 1: my Washington pick, and he goes at twenty seventh for me, that,

211
00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:28,760
Speaker 1: my friends, is a very very that's a great pick.

212
00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:32,920
Speaker 1: Just the versatility that he brings. And the one key

213
00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:35,320
Speaker 1: you mentioned was Sammy Ball was one heck. I mean,

214
00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:38,280
Speaker 1: he's known for his pinpoint passing. The old story goes

215
00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:41,959
Speaker 1: coach told him to hit a wide receiver in the

216
00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:43,880
Speaker 1: eye and he said, which I I mean he was

217
00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:47,480
Speaker 1: he was. He was tremendous, But he was one heck

218
00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:51,800
Speaker 1: of a defensive back, I mean incredible defensive back, all right.

219
00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:54,679
Speaker 1: And I'm staying with a defensive back theme because I

220
00:11:54,720 --> 00:12:00,520
Speaker 1: need a raider now this Yeah, lots of great Raiders.

221
00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:05,439
Speaker 1: But after I had and I did this like two

222
00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:07,040
Speaker 1: weeks ago, I went through and I took all the

223
00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:11,880
Speaker 1: players from teams that you started with and had a pick,

224
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:13,840
Speaker 1: and so that left me basically everybody. And so I

225
00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:15,440
Speaker 1: went through and I was like, okay, let me match

226
00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:17,400
Speaker 1: up positions to needs and all that kind of stuff.

227
00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:21,240
Speaker 1: And so I had picked up Rod Woodson or i'd

228
00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:23,040
Speaker 1: written down Rod Woodson. I went oh, and all of

229
00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:24,760
Speaker 1: a sudden, I was hit with another, like out of

230
00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:26,880
Speaker 1: the blue. I don't know why, but I thought corner

231
00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:30,200
Speaker 1: and one of my favorite corners of all time did

232
00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:33,600
Speaker 1: play with the Patriots, but he became a legend I

233
00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:36,240
Speaker 1: think with the Raiders. He was very quiet, but he

234
00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:38,400
Speaker 1: was long limbed and man, he was one of the

235
00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:40,360
Speaker 1: better match and mirror guys. Didn't have to use his

236
00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:43,400
Speaker 1: hands all the time. That was Mike Haynes of the

237
00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:47,680
Speaker 1: Oakland LA back to Oakland Raiders now in Las Vegas.

238
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:52,520
Speaker 1: He was, to me everything you'd want a corner, outside

239
00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:54,640
Speaker 1: of the fact that he just didn't talk to you.

240
00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:57,079
Speaker 1: You know. He had Lester Hayes on the other side,

241
00:12:57,280 --> 00:12:59,600
Speaker 1: another Houston product. He had to stick him all over

242
00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:01,920
Speaker 1: the play. He was kind of boisterous and loud and

243
00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:04,560
Speaker 1: didn't have a problem kind of pumping up luster Hayes,

244
00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:07,080
Speaker 1: myke Hanes just went about his business just destroying dudes

245
00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:10,160
Speaker 1: and speaking to Washington. In the Super Bowl against Washington,

246
00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:14,600
Speaker 1: they shut down the Smurfs, completely shut them down. And

247
00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:16,360
Speaker 1: that was an offense that was at the time one

248
00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:19,760
Speaker 1: of the greatest of all time. And Haynes shut that

249
00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:21,440
Speaker 1: side of the field. That I was a tremendous showing.

250
00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:23,360
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna take another corner because I gotta feel

251
00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:25,120
Speaker 1: and you're gonna throw to Calvin Johnson and you're gonna

252
00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:27,560
Speaker 1: throw to Andre Johnson. Lot. I gotta have some dudes

253
00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:29,640
Speaker 1: that can cover. So I now have three corners, one

254
00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:32,679
Speaker 1: that can truly run and two others that what's it

255
00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:34,200
Speaker 1: kind of a mix of the two. And then Hayes

256
00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:36,960
Speaker 1: just purely a cover guy who was fantastic. So I'm

257
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:40,400
Speaker 1: going Myke Hanes with the Raiders with my pick. Good choice.

258
00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:43,840
Speaker 1: Much earlier in this draft, I whiffed big time because

259
00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:47,079
Speaker 1: I had earmarked Oh there's one buffalo bill that stands

260
00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:50,319
Speaker 1: out above the rest. It's Bruce Smith, and I forgot.

261
00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:51,920
Speaker 1: I don't know what I maybe I didn't have my

262
00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:53,520
Speaker 1: sheet in front of me or whatever, but you took

263
00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:59,839
Speaker 1: him smart. I took him. Yes, kudos to you. Now,

264
00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:02,200
Speaker 1: Jim Brown and Walter Payton are never gonna get tired.

265
00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:06,240
Speaker 1: But it's always good to just have a third running back, right,

266
00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:09,760
Speaker 1: You're right. Oh, I'll take Thurman Thomas because you can

267
00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:14,280
Speaker 1: do it all. My quarterback is gonna he's gonna get

268
00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:16,520
Speaker 1: in some trouble sometimes with your pass rush and with

269
00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:18,680
Speaker 1: other pass rushes from time to time he's gonna need

270
00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:21,040
Speaker 1: to dump it off. Thurman Thomas is a good guy

271
00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:24,960
Speaker 1: to dump it off too. I'm going with willow Ridge's

272
00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:28,960
Speaker 1: Thurman Thomas, Oklahoma states Thurman Thomas. And in the answer

273
00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:32,120
Speaker 1: to a Harris tribute question, the very first high school

274
00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:35,200
Speaker 1: game I ever went to in Texas was at the

275
00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:38,600
Speaker 1: Astrodome and it featured base City. Got my name of

276
00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:42,000
Speaker 1: Hartley Dikes and it's willow Ridge. And the thing is

277
00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:44,080
Speaker 1: is base City really was kind of unknown. Like well,

278
00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:45,560
Speaker 1: I was only there to watch the game because we

279
00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:48,240
Speaker 1: were Lamark and Salida is playing bas City the next week, yep.

280
00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:50,280
Speaker 1: But willow Ridge had just want to stay championship and

281
00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:52,400
Speaker 1: they had running back my name of Thurman Thomas, and

282
00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:57,360
Speaker 1: I came from Wisconsin. There was nobody ever like Thurman

283
00:14:57,400 --> 00:14:59,800
Speaker 1: Thomas or Hartley Dikes for that matter. The first high

284
00:14:59,800 --> 00:15:01,360
Speaker 1: schoo that was my first high school game to ever say.

285
00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:02,840
Speaker 1: I was like, you turned my dad at one point

286
00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:05,840
Speaker 1: and I was like, Dad, I can't. I can't play here.

287
00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:09,000
Speaker 1: I can't. I don't look like those guys. I can't,

288
00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:11,720
Speaker 1: I can't run like those guys. I have no chance.

289
00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:14,240
Speaker 1: And it turned out okay for me, but my gosh,

290
00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:16,280
Speaker 1: it was they were fun to watch. Okay, I'm gonna

291
00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:20,520
Speaker 1: stick with a secondary for my next pick. You have

292
00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:24,200
Speaker 1: already gotten your Philadelphia Eagle, Reggie White. You wont with

293
00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:31,120
Speaker 1: the minister defense. So Reggie White was a pretty boisterous dude,

294
00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:35,200
Speaker 1: not like this guy I'm about to take from Jacksonville, Florida.

295
00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:42,119
Speaker 1: So ties there. But at safety there maybe was nobody

296
00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:49,040
Speaker 1: as legally ruthless as Brian Dawkins. All right, and he

297
00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:52,040
Speaker 1: is inducted into the Hall of Fame, and I think

298
00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:55,880
Speaker 1: just a first of all, he's a sound by waiting

299
00:15:55,920 --> 00:15:57,480
Speaker 1: to happen. I used to play on on the National

300
00:15:57,560 --> 00:16:00,560
Speaker 1: Show all the time, just sound by that. He would

301
00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:04,360
Speaker 1: have you know, pregame Huddles talking to his team, talking

302
00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:07,520
Speaker 1: his team in the locker room. He was fantastic, but

303
00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:10,120
Speaker 1: he was one heck of a safety too, and he

304
00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:13,000
Speaker 1: is my physical bruiser. I have Larry Wilson ed Read

305
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:15,880
Speaker 1: its safety and so with a three safety look. He

306
00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:18,040
Speaker 1: comes down in the box if I need him. He

307
00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:21,880
Speaker 1: is bringing heat. Edward Larry Wilson groom get the football.

308
00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:25,120
Speaker 1: But Brian Dawkins is gonna go get some heads and

309
00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:27,680
Speaker 1: I'm okay with that. So my pick is from the

310
00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:34,240
Speaker 1: Philadelphia Eagles. Brian Dawkins. Nice pick, nice pick indeed. All right, Okay,

311
00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:36,760
Speaker 1: we got four left, right, it's my math, right, yeah,

312
00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:40,600
Speaker 1: and I've I've saved up. I've saved it. The quarterbacks

313
00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:44,840
Speaker 1: that I would choose, Tom Brady, John Montana, Montana's Alex

314
00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:51,720
Speaker 1: already took running a lot, Dan Marino, Unitus h and Elway.

315
00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:57,800
Speaker 1: So those are I've got the Patriots, Broncos, Colts and

316
00:16:57,920 --> 00:17:06,560
Speaker 1: Dolphins left. Yeah. So yeah, you've you've got picks Unitas, Elway, Marino,

317
00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:09,760
Speaker 1: and Brady. You got options which one you're going with?

318
00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:19,800
Speaker 1: Really really really really want Rob Gronkowski on my team.

319
00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:21,800
Speaker 1: I really don't want to pass up. I think Brady's

320
00:17:21,840 --> 00:17:25,480
Speaker 1: the greatest ever. Agree, But I don't think the drop

321
00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:28,720
Speaker 1: off to the other guys is that great and that

322
00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:34,040
Speaker 1: they those other guys can't overcome what Brady could overcome.

323
00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:36,199
Speaker 1: I just I think I could still win a hell

324
00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:38,680
Speaker 1: of a lot with guys other than Tom Brady. So

325
00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:42,480
Speaker 1: I'm putting Gronkowski on my team from the people that's

326
00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:47,479
Speaker 1: I held my breath every time the Texans played the

327
00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:51,879
Speaker 1: Patriots and the ball went Gronkowski's way, because who's going

328
00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:54,080
Speaker 1: to cover that guy? Yeah, where there was a good

329
00:17:54,119 --> 00:17:57,880
Speaker 1: safety like Glover Quinn, whether there was somebody else down

330
00:17:57,960 --> 00:18:00,280
Speaker 1: the line later in the years, I mean, was going

331
00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:03,679
Speaker 1: to cover Rob Gronkowski. I think we found Glover was

332
00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:06,280
Speaker 1: on Aaron Hernandez in that playoff game a lot. But yeah,

333
00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:09,480
Speaker 1: that was like an example of I don't honestly, Drew,

334
00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:12,879
Speaker 1: I don't know that anybody could really effectively cover Gronk.

335
00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:16,840
Speaker 1: And it's It's interesting because when we went to the

336
00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:20,080
Speaker 1: Greenbrier the first year, we had gone back there after

337
00:18:20,119 --> 00:18:23,400
Speaker 1: our first preseason game against the Carolina Panthers, yea, and

338
00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:25,760
Speaker 1: we went back there. We went back there because the

339
00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:28,160
Speaker 1: Patriots were coming and the Patriots were coming to the Greenbrier,

340
00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:33,720
Speaker 1: which was cool because we had access that you're you're

341
00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:35,240
Speaker 1: never gonna get. I mean, we were right down on

342
00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:36,680
Speaker 1: a field. I mean we were allowed to go out

343
00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:39,080
Speaker 1: on the field and talk to the guys afterwards. And

344
00:18:39,119 --> 00:18:43,320
Speaker 1: so I had gone over to listen to Belichick's press conference,

345
00:18:43,359 --> 00:18:45,840
Speaker 1: which just to say that I did it. I didn't

346
00:18:45,880 --> 00:18:47,879
Speaker 1: think we're gonna get anything. But he had brought along

347
00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:50,760
Speaker 1: Tom Crean, who at time was the coach in Indiana

348
00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:55,320
Speaker 1: basketball coach. Anyways, so I walked back after hearing enough

349
00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:59,720
Speaker 1: of Bill, and as I'm walking back, I have to

350
00:18:59,800 --> 00:19:02,320
Speaker 1: go around the two fields. And as I'm going around

351
00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:05,560
Speaker 1: two fields, I'm just kind of bebopping and Scott and along,

352
00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:07,760
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, I almost run into this

353
00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:10,200
Speaker 1: guy and I'm like, this dude is massive. Who in

354
00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:16,119
Speaker 1: that eighty seven gronk? Oh my god, like bigger. And

355
00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:18,120
Speaker 1: I had been on the field, I you know, obviously

356
00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:20,440
Speaker 1: played at fifteen, had seen him on the field before.

357
00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:22,320
Speaker 1: I've been on the field with him, but seeing him

358
00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:27,400
Speaker 1: up close, I was like, holy cow, he's bigger than

359
00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:29,960
Speaker 1: you even imagine him to be. And then you realize

360
00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:33,800
Speaker 1: he whips everybody, everybody going and get in the football.

361
00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:36,399
Speaker 1: It's just it just really the light went on for

362
00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:40,119
Speaker 1: me how great he was. And I really battled with

363
00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:44,359
Speaker 1: Gronk versus Moss. I really did because I need it.

364
00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:45,720
Speaker 1: I needed I still need a tight end, but I

365
00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:47,880
Speaker 1: think I've got some options, so um, I think I'll

366
00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:52,560
Speaker 1: be okay there. But that's that's Andy blocks well too. Yes, absolutely,

367
00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:57,719
Speaker 1: he's tight end. Yeah, I'm gonna have one tight end

368
00:19:57,720 --> 00:20:00,320
Speaker 1: and I don't think he blocks very well, so we're

369
00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:01,960
Speaker 1: gonna have to We're gonna have to get creative in

370
00:20:01,960 --> 00:20:03,760
Speaker 1: the run game, although I do have two hammer heads

371
00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:06,840
Speaker 1: at running backs. Off he's okay. Yeah, I'm gonna go

372
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:10,000
Speaker 1: to the New Orleans Saints for this next pick. And

373
00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:12,920
Speaker 1: I did give a lot of consideration Drew Brees. He's

374
00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:15,639
Speaker 1: an Austin Westleigh guy, and I've always always been a

375
00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:18,359
Speaker 1: fan of Drew. I do think the tank is empty

376
00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:21,280
Speaker 1: right now, but he's had such a great career. But

377
00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:24,320
Speaker 1: I end up going Peyton Manning. So there's a New

378
00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:27,440
Speaker 1: Orleans connection in there somewhere with Peyton because that's where

379
00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:29,880
Speaker 1: he grew up with high school. So I thought about

380
00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:33,359
Speaker 1: the Saints for a long time, and I thought, currently,

381
00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:35,439
Speaker 1: you know Michael Thomas, but I had better receivers, I

382
00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:37,560
Speaker 1: felt like, and so I wasn't totally sure where to go.

383
00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:40,200
Speaker 1: I even consider Jeremy Shocky here, who's with the Saints

384
00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:42,120
Speaker 1: for a while and was on the Saint Super Bowl team.

385
00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:44,480
Speaker 1: I thought, no, I think I associate Shocky with the

386
00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:46,960
Speaker 1: Giants more so It's like, Okay, who do I associate

387
00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:50,120
Speaker 1: more with the Saints. And then it hit me, I'm

388
00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:53,560
Speaker 1: a Bolstrom offensive line again. Because you can't have more

389
00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:57,080
Speaker 1: offensive lineman. You can't have too many offensive lineman. I

390
00:20:57,119 --> 00:21:02,160
Speaker 1: should say I'm gonna go with offensive tackle Hal Famer

391
00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:06,840
Speaker 1: and maybe the biggest barrel chest you've ever seen. Willie

392
00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:09,959
Speaker 1: Rofe's going to join my squad because I feel like

393
00:21:10,160 --> 00:21:13,159
Speaker 1: with Willie Rove, I can play him at tackle that

394
00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:15,159
Speaker 1: was his position, but I could play him at guard

395
00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:17,760
Speaker 1: too if I wanted to. And I think that there

396
00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:20,359
Speaker 1: would have been consideration over the years whether he would

397
00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:22,680
Speaker 1: have played all at guard. What was one a heck

398
00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:25,320
Speaker 1: of a tackle. So I'm going with Willie Rofe to

399
00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:27,879
Speaker 1: add to my offensive line, which is stout to begin with.

400
00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:31,480
Speaker 1: But I had Willie Rofe just another stout piece, and

401
00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:33,640
Speaker 1: it also goes show I can use Willie Rofe as

402
00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:37,560
Speaker 1: a third tackle while I've got Barry Sandators neurocamp on

403
00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:40,680
Speaker 1: the field. So I feel okay with not having a

404
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:43,200
Speaker 1: hammer head at tight end. And you get some Louisiana

405
00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:48,760
Speaker 1: Tech representations, let's go. I saw Willie Rofe in Louisiana

406
00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:52,560
Speaker 1: Tech along with Chris Boniol, the kicker who yeah, the

407
00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:55,520
Speaker 1: Cowboys in the Super Bowl. I saw them play in

408
00:21:55,560 --> 00:21:59,480
Speaker 1: the nineteen ninety Poland Wheen Eater Independence Pool against the

409
00:21:59,560 --> 00:22:04,639
Speaker 1: University of Maryland, led by quarterback Scott Zolak so thirty

410
00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:06,199
Speaker 1: to thirty tie. It was a hell of a game

411
00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:09,080
Speaker 1: they didn't have over back then, but yeah, great game

412
00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:11,160
Speaker 1: Willie Roof He was the best player on the field

413
00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:12,440
Speaker 1: that night. And he was the best player on the

414
00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:17,119
Speaker 1: field a lot of Knights that he played on Mondays, Mondays. Okay,

415
00:22:17,840 --> 00:22:20,720
Speaker 1: I'm down to the Colts, the Broncos, and the Dolphins.

416
00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:24,359
Speaker 1: It's coming down really to Elway and Marino for me,

417
00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:26,760
Speaker 1: now that I took Brady off the board, it's nineteen

418
00:22:26,840 --> 00:22:30,000
Speaker 1: eighty three all over again. Yeah. Here, we're not gonna go.

419
00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:34,040
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna go with unitas. Uh There's a guy

420
00:22:34,119 --> 00:22:36,600
Speaker 1: named Jim Parker, who is another one of those names

421
00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:40,000
Speaker 1: that most people aren't gonna know. But heads will went

422
00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:42,840
Speaker 1: to eight Pro Bowls, who was All NFL eight times

423
00:22:43,280 --> 00:22:46,560
Speaker 1: as an offensive lineman a guard. So I'm gonna make

424
00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:49,240
Speaker 1: sure that I'm I'm stout up front. If anything ever happens,

425
00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:52,880
Speaker 1: I've got my swing guy. So my thirtieth pick from

426
00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:56,000
Speaker 1: the Colts is Jim Parker. I'm leaving a lot of

427
00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:58,960
Speaker 1: great players on the board. Geno Marquetti defensive line, but

428
00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:00,840
Speaker 1: I think I'm set there. He would have He would

429
00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:04,680
Speaker 1: have been a good choice. Buddy Boyd was a cornerback

430
00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:07,800
Speaker 1: who had I think forty to fifty interceptions in his career.

431
00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:09,720
Speaker 1: He was All NFL a lot of times. He's not

432
00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:13,200
Speaker 1: making the team. And then you could have gone Edrin,

433
00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:17,480
Speaker 1: James Marshall, Falk, I mean, Marvin Harrison, Marvin Harrison, Reggie Wayne.

434
00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:21,400
Speaker 1: But I'm going with the best offensive lineman in Indianapolis

435
00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:26,879
Speaker 1: and Baltimore history, Jim Parker. It's very good. Also Old Heads,

436
00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:30,520
Speaker 1: Jim Donovan, Dark Donovan Donivan. He would have been the

437
00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:32,840
Speaker 1: funniest player on He would be the funniest player. Also

438
00:23:32,920 --> 00:23:36,320
Speaker 1: Lenny Moore. Lenny Moore is kind of a modern version

439
00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:39,400
Speaker 1: of Marshall falk and son John Mackey two the title

440
00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:42,359
Speaker 1: John Macke. That was one I considered too um, but

441
00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:44,600
Speaker 1: I decided to go with Peyton Manning, the best quarterback

442
00:23:44,720 --> 00:23:48,960
Speaker 1: in Colt's history. Take that Johnny Knights. Okay, for my

443
00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:54,160
Speaker 1: thirtieth pick, I'm going to can jah sayday um, as

444
00:23:54,200 --> 00:23:59,159
Speaker 1: Mitch Holtess likes to say. And I actually watched the

445
00:23:59,160 --> 00:24:02,800
Speaker 1: Peyton Pay's Placed the other Day episode and it featured

446
00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:05,440
Speaker 1: Tony Gonzalez, and I thought, you know what, Tony Gonzalez

447
00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:07,159
Speaker 1: would be perfect for my team. I don't have a

448
00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:11,719
Speaker 1: tight end. But then I changed my mind and I

449
00:24:11,800 --> 00:24:17,320
Speaker 1: went with outside linebacker Bobby Bell, Hall of famer, one

450
00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:19,800
Speaker 1: of my favorite players. Yes, I'm an old head and

451
00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:25,600
Speaker 1: I love watching old AFL films. When he was just awesome.

452
00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:28,680
Speaker 1: I mean, he was the precursor to a lot of

453
00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:31,879
Speaker 1: players we saw come after him. He was phenomenal. And

454
00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:35,760
Speaker 1: that was a really fun draft. All right, we get back.

455
00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:39,200
Speaker 1: Drew's gonna stick around and do a little Drew's dozen

456
00:24:39,680 --> 00:24:47,719
Speaker 1: right here on Texans All Access. Hey, everybody, welcome back

457
00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:51,080

Speaker 1: They're They're all good guys, fun to be around. But

472
00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:46,520
Speaker 1: I had to give it to Done. Why he's done

473
00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:48,520
Speaker 1: the funniest. He's the first one you said, why would

474
00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:51,240
Speaker 1: you pick him? I don't know mat he's this He

475
00:25:51,359 --> 00:25:55,680
Speaker 1: got real good energy, just always joking, just good jokes man.

476
00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:58,600
Speaker 1: He's the DJ of the locker room. So we joke

477
00:25:58,680 --> 00:26:02,080
Speaker 1: a lot on music. But yeah, that's pretty much it. Yeah,

478
00:26:02,080 --> 00:26:04,480
Speaker 1: he's the DJ the locker room. He controls the ox chord,

479
00:26:04,560 --> 00:26:07,960
Speaker 1: as he is bragged times, DJ Dunny keeps the good

480
00:26:08,040 --> 00:26:11,199
Speaker 1: music going. Tell me again, what was the name of

481
00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:16,760
Speaker 1: your high school? Where? Right now? Who you are? What

482
00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:20,040
Speaker 1: you know physically? Who you are as fast as you are.

483
00:26:20,680 --> 00:26:23,959
Speaker 1: You get to suit up this season for Bassfille High School?

484
00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:28,000
Speaker 1: What positions are you going to play? And what would

485
00:26:28,080 --> 00:26:30,200
Speaker 1: your stat line be if you played in one game

486
00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:33,280
Speaker 1: for Bassville. I can only pay one position. Now you

487
00:26:33,280 --> 00:26:36,919
Speaker 1: can play both ways. You can do it all. We're

488
00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:39,560
Speaker 1: a small school and we had a small team. We

489
00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:42,920
Speaker 1: were very talented and we didn't care how big upon

490
00:26:43,040 --> 00:26:45,399
Speaker 1: him was or how many players they had, so we

491
00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:48,000
Speaker 1: had to play both ways. I would go back to

492
00:26:48,040 --> 00:26:53,320
Speaker 1: my normal position, which were fullback and linebacker and on

493
00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:57,960
Speaker 1: the office a side. One game, we're I mean, our

494
00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:01,159
Speaker 1: coach after we get up on the scoreboard for a

495
00:27:01,280 --> 00:27:04,160
Speaker 1: good you know, a good bit, Coulture take us out right.

496
00:27:04,440 --> 00:27:07,720
Speaker 1: But I would have to say like three touchdowns, maybe

497
00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:11,840
Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty yards something. I saw a long break.

498
00:27:12,280 --> 00:27:14,760
Speaker 1: You can definitely know that I play like a quarter

499
00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:17,240
Speaker 1: and a half. We I never played a full I

500
00:27:17,280 --> 00:27:20,560
Speaker 1: almost never played a full game. At bast we were

501
00:27:20,600 --> 00:27:23,200
Speaker 1: pretty good. I'm not trying to be botha but we

502
00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:26,600
Speaker 1: were very retalited. All right. So three scores, one hundred

503
00:27:26,600 --> 00:27:28,680
Speaker 1: fifty yards on offense? What are you doing on defensive?

504
00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:30,919
Speaker 1: If you play a linebacker who you are? Now, you're

505
00:27:30,920 --> 00:27:34,120
Speaker 1: gonna be like Bobby Bouchet basically, aren't you right? That's

506
00:27:34,160 --> 00:27:35,679
Speaker 1: exactly who I would be. You know, it it would be

507
00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:39,640
Speaker 1: a maniac out there. So I would have to say,

508
00:27:40,040 --> 00:27:43,080
Speaker 1: you know, just a light day, maybe fifteen tackles, a

509
00:27:43,119 --> 00:27:47,600
Speaker 1: couple of forest fumbles, maybe two intercepts. Yeah, that's that's

510
00:27:47,640 --> 00:27:51,160
Speaker 1: about it. That's not gonna last. Only in a half though,

511
00:27:51,280 --> 00:27:56,000
Speaker 1: that right, that's the only one half. That's good. You

512
00:27:56,119 --> 00:27:58,240
Speaker 1: make a good distinction there, because not every one of

513
00:27:58,240 --> 00:28:00,159
Speaker 1: your teammates when I've asked that question of them, has

514
00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:03,560
Speaker 1: brought that up. So acknowledge the domination that'll happen. But

515
00:28:03,600 --> 00:28:10,480
Speaker 1: you've also integrated sportsmanship too, So that's that's got you. Yeah, yeah,

516
00:28:10,520 --> 00:28:13,280
Speaker 1: I've I actually just before. But how much did it

517
00:28:13,359 --> 00:28:16,240
Speaker 1: change once he was in the NFL? How much on

518
00:28:16,280 --> 00:28:18,199
Speaker 1: a daily basis, did you get to talk with your

519
00:28:18,200 --> 00:28:21,080
Speaker 1: twin brothers C J since we've both been in NFL

520
00:28:21,200 --> 00:28:24,280
Speaker 1: or what? Yeah, Oh, we talked every day. We sit

521
00:28:24,359 --> 00:28:27,320
Speaker 1: on the phone for hours, and I mean we talk

522
00:28:27,359 --> 00:28:30,320
Speaker 1: about each other's day and pretty much since he was

523
00:28:30,800 --> 00:28:33,800
Speaker 1: kind of new to the going into the NFL with him,

524
00:28:34,160 --> 00:28:36,400
Speaker 1: I wanted to hear about, you know, how are things going.

525
00:28:36,600 --> 00:28:39,200
Speaker 1: He wanted to share it with me, And basically it's

526
00:28:39,240 --> 00:28:42,600
Speaker 1: talking about his day mainly first, and then I'll just

527
00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:45,040
Speaker 1: let him know what's going on over here as far

528
00:28:45,080 --> 00:28:48,160
Speaker 1: as how my day was. When we're away from each other,

529
00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:51,440
Speaker 1: we're on the phone for hours and just either playing

530
00:28:51,440 --> 00:28:55,480
Speaker 1: the game or talking about I almost not even saying anything.

531
00:28:55,520 --> 00:28:57,320
Speaker 1: But we could just be on the phone and not

532
00:28:57,400 --> 00:29:01,120
Speaker 1: say anything. It's just I don't know. You know quite

533
00:29:01,120 --> 00:29:03,880
Speaker 1: a bit about farming. And when we talked last, when

534
00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:05,720
Speaker 1: we did this interview, you told me you did a

535
00:29:05,760 --> 00:29:08,880
Speaker 1: lot of bushogging, which is just to remind folks what

536
00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:12,760
Speaker 1: is bushogging? Whoever watching this. The terminology may be wrong,

537
00:29:12,840 --> 00:29:16,480
Speaker 1: but what we call it in Bassville, it's it's cutting

538
00:29:16,520 --> 00:29:20,800
Speaker 1: grass and pastures where a normal one more can get

539
00:29:20,840 --> 00:29:24,080
Speaker 1: to and it's it's basically just keeping your pastures good

540
00:29:24,080 --> 00:29:28,160
Speaker 1: and clean low grass. We bushogged a lot. We have

541
00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:31,080
Speaker 1: a good amount of land, so and we we like

542
00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:34,400
Speaker 1: to keep our stuff sharp, so we're always out there

543
00:29:34,400 --> 00:29:38,160
Speaker 1: on the attractive bushogging and bush hogging can be pretty therapeutic,

544
00:29:38,280 --> 00:29:41,680
Speaker 1: right kind of calming. Yeah, yes, sir, But I mean

545
00:29:42,200 --> 00:29:45,840
Speaker 1: depending on it's hot out there, mostly bushog When it

546
00:29:45,920 --> 00:29:48,320
Speaker 1: is hot and the sun is just being it's just

547
00:29:48,440 --> 00:29:51,719
Speaker 1: you out there as attractor, it can be very therapeutic.

548
00:29:52,080 --> 00:29:53,920
Speaker 1: But you might want to bring some water, you know

549
00:29:53,920 --> 00:29:57,480
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. But it's definitely it can be a

550
00:29:57,480 --> 00:29:59,280
Speaker 1: good time. It could be a bad time, just depending

551
00:29:59,280 --> 00:30:02,080
Speaker 1: on how you liked said. I'm unofficially I'm gonna crown

552
00:30:02,160 --> 00:30:07,040
Speaker 1: you as the Houston, Texans best bushogger. But if there

553
00:30:07,080 --> 00:30:10,880
Speaker 1: were a second best bushogger, who do you think would

554
00:30:10,880 --> 00:30:14,040
Speaker 1: that likely be? What Texan would be the second best bushogger?

555
00:30:14,360 --> 00:30:16,360
Speaker 1: I know that's a totally random thing to ask, but

556
00:30:16,640 --> 00:30:19,000
Speaker 1: you know, I'm thinking. I'm thinking about, like, who's the

557
00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:23,320
Speaker 1: next biggest country boy. I kind of want to stay

558
00:30:23,640 --> 00:30:26,560
Speaker 1: Jacob always dressed up as a cowboy, but I don't

559
00:30:26,560 --> 00:30:29,080
Speaker 1: know if he's truly country are he just like wearing

560
00:30:29,120 --> 00:30:31,880
Speaker 1: country clothes. You know, has the look. Yeah he has

561
00:30:31,880 --> 00:30:34,320
Speaker 1: a look, ye, the look, but it's different with you

562
00:30:34,360 --> 00:30:37,040
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, to actually live it out. You

563
00:30:37,120 --> 00:30:40,440
Speaker 1: grew up in Colorado, so I don't Yeah, okay, man,

564
00:30:41,720 --> 00:30:45,120
Speaker 1: it could be tightest. Yeah, it could be tightest. Key

565
00:30:45,240 --> 00:30:49,200
Speaker 1: on crossing is let me. But yeah, the next one,

566
00:30:49,480 --> 00:30:51,719
Speaker 1: it would have to be my cousin Carnell. I mean,

567
00:30:51,760 --> 00:30:54,160
Speaker 1: he's always with us when when we're all at home,

568
00:30:54,680 --> 00:30:57,040
Speaker 1: he's at the farm with us. We're always hanging out.

569
00:30:57,480 --> 00:31:00,640
Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't know if he's I'm sure yeah,

570
00:31:00,680 --> 00:31:03,880
Speaker 1: I'm sure he's bush before. But yeah, that's too, that's

571
00:31:03,960 --> 00:31:06,360
Speaker 1: not so. The cousins are the best. Yeah, I'm gonna

572
00:31:06,360 --> 00:31:10,080
Speaker 1: say that's that's easy. Okay, Yeah, all right, Like I said,

573
00:31:10,080 --> 00:31:12,400
Speaker 1: it's a little double dip with Drews. Doesn't how about

574
00:31:12,440 --> 00:31:16,840
Speaker 1: that a literation? Yeah, so with the double dip, let's

575
00:31:16,840 --> 00:31:20,320
Speaker 1: go a little Charles A. Mena, who a guy who

576
00:31:20,400 --> 00:31:23,440
Speaker 1: intern at a radio station that I frequent I go

577
00:31:23,480 --> 00:31:26,320
Speaker 1: on a lot of times on an Austin radio station.

578
00:31:26,400 --> 00:31:30,040
Speaker 1: And Charles Mena who was an intern for their afternoon

579
00:31:30,080 --> 00:31:33,400
Speaker 1: show with My budd of Chad Hastings a few years ago.

580
00:31:33,520 --> 00:31:38,720
Speaker 1: So there definitely is Charles a men who possibilities on

581
00:31:38,760 --> 00:31:41,800
Speaker 1: the radio and you get a chance for their preview

582
00:31:41,840 --> 00:31:44,440
Speaker 1: of that. Although we want Charles staying on the field

583
00:31:44,480 --> 00:31:46,600
Speaker 1: for as long as possible. But here's a little Drews

584
00:31:46,760 --> 00:31:50,040
Speaker 1: doesn't with Charles a MENA. Who tell me your favorite

585
00:31:50,080 --> 00:31:54,040
Speaker 1: retired NFL player, I would have to say Dean Sandeles. Yeah,

586
00:31:54,080 --> 00:31:56,720
Speaker 1: I like I just like a swagger around. He liked

587
00:31:56,880 --> 00:31:59,520
Speaker 1: his confidence, the juice that he came on the field with,

588
00:31:59,760 --> 00:32:01,440
Speaker 1: like knowing that he was the best player. He was

589
00:32:01,480 --> 00:32:03,080
Speaker 1: going to tell you that he was and then show

590
00:32:03,120 --> 00:32:06,160
Speaker 1: you he was. That's just I like that man, like

591
00:32:06,680 --> 00:32:08,440
Speaker 1: hopefully a guy when I get to that point where

592
00:32:08,440 --> 00:32:10,560
Speaker 1: I can be like that, no way, you know what

593
00:32:10,560 --> 00:32:13,480
Speaker 1: I'm saying, I can tell you otherwise. So let's say

594
00:32:14,760 --> 00:32:16,960
Speaker 1: this season, you pick off a pass, you got a

595
00:32:16,960 --> 00:32:19,760
Speaker 1: clear shot at the end zone, there's nobody within twenty

596
00:32:19,840 --> 00:32:21,960
Speaker 1: yards of you. Are you going to do the you

597
00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:23,560
Speaker 1: know the thing where he did the high leg the

598
00:32:23,600 --> 00:32:26,560
Speaker 1: hin knees front time by I am gonna pump the

599
00:32:26,560 --> 00:32:28,440
Speaker 1: ball into the end zone. You're gonna pump the ball

600
00:32:28,440 --> 00:32:31,040
Speaker 1: in the end zone. All right, Well after you crossed

601
00:32:31,080 --> 00:32:36,200
Speaker 1: the goal line, right, all right? What teammate did you

602
00:32:36,320 --> 00:32:39,120
Speaker 1: lean on the most for help off the field? Help

603
00:32:39,160 --> 00:32:43,000
Speaker 1: on the field, you know, any sort of advice. Well, Whitney, merciless,

604
00:32:43,360 --> 00:32:47,920
Speaker 1: what's the last thing that you cooked? Breakfast today? Breakfast today, eggs,

605
00:32:48,040 --> 00:32:51,560
Speaker 1: eggs and oatmeal, cooking dinners or lunches or you strictly

606
00:32:51,560 --> 00:32:54,200
Speaker 1: a breakfast cooking guy, just a breakfast sing guy. That's

607
00:32:54,240 --> 00:32:56,960

Speaker 1: So I like that you put yourself first. You gotta

633
00:34:27,480 --> 00:34:30,719
Speaker 1: have confidence and stuff. What would your career be if

634
00:34:30,719 --> 00:34:33,640
Speaker 1: you were not in the NFL? I would, honestly, I

635
00:34:33,640 --> 00:34:36,680

650
00:35:22,120 --> 00:35:26,000

651
00:35:26,040 --> 00:35:29,240
Speaker 1: did have an internship, Charles, and that's something very important

652
00:35:29,239 --> 00:35:31,200
Speaker 1: to keep in mind. And it was in radio. So

653
00:35:31,239 --> 00:35:33,640
Speaker 1: that makes you, yea one of the cool guys, no

654

Speaker 1: doubt about it. All Right, we get back. Let's get

655
00:35:36,120 --> 00:35:39,960
Speaker 1: a little snippet my last show of the week with

656
00:35:40,280 --> 00:35:43,520
Speaker 1: David Culley, who sat down with Mark and myself to

657
00:35:43,800 --> 00:35:46,880
Speaker 1: talk about the offseason what the Texans were able to

658
00:35:46,920 --> 00:35:48,880
Speaker 1: get done. We'll do that next right here in Texans

659
00:35:48,920 --> 00:35:54,240
Speaker 1: All Access. We got one final segment of this edition

660
00:35:54,239 --> 00:35:57,319
Speaker 1: of Texans All Access I'm your host, John Harrison. We're

661
00:35:57,320 --> 00:36:00,600
Speaker 1: gonna close it down. We're a little conversation now, Mark

662
00:36:00,640 --> 00:36:04,080
Speaker 1: and I were able to have with head coach David

663
00:36:04,560 --> 00:36:07,080
Speaker 1: Cully and here it goes, Mark, take it away, Coach

664
00:36:07,200 --> 00:36:10,240
Speaker 1: David Culley joining us right now at Texans Radio and coach,

665
00:36:10,320 --> 00:36:14,640
Speaker 1: how was it coaching the OTA section of the offseason

666
00:36:14,760 --> 00:36:18,000
Speaker 1: all these practices you had recently? It was so good

667
00:36:18,160 --> 00:36:20,800
Speaker 1: Mark to get out to finally get on the field

668
00:36:20,840 --> 00:36:24,239
Speaker 1: and see our guys, to be able to see what

669
00:36:24,239 --> 00:36:26,880
Speaker 1: they're all about, let them see what we were all about.

670
00:36:27,080 --> 00:36:29,720
Speaker 1: And you know, the first time I got on that grass,

671
00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:33,160
Speaker 1: I got so excited. I felt the same way when

672
00:36:33,160 --> 00:36:36,240
Speaker 1: I first went out there to practice as when Kyle

673
00:36:37,960 --> 00:36:40,960
Speaker 1: named me the head coach of the Houston Texans. That

674
00:36:41,120 --> 00:36:44,400
Speaker 1: was all over again because in the first time, it

675
00:36:44,480 --> 00:36:47,600
Speaker 1: was like, Okay, now here, I am actually really coaching

676
00:36:47,840 --> 00:36:51,880
Speaker 1: the Houston Texans and it felt good. Coach with no

677
00:36:52,000 --> 00:36:54,800
Speaker 1: pads on, and we get asked this question a lot,

678
00:36:55,160 --> 00:36:57,359
Speaker 1: So I'll ask you your thoughts with no pads on,

679
00:36:57,440 --> 00:37:01,120
Speaker 1: because those are the rules. What are you able to

680
00:37:01,160 --> 00:37:05,239
Speaker 1: get out of an OTA session, out of an offseason

681
00:37:05,800 --> 00:37:09,279
Speaker 1: like you've had? What's the main thing you're looking to

682
00:37:09,400 --> 00:37:12,160
Speaker 1: get out of that time period when you can't hit

683
00:37:12,320 --> 00:37:16,399
Speaker 1: or be physical or do things like that. With us, John,

684
00:37:16,520 --> 00:37:19,719
Speaker 1: because we're new and it's been the first time, we're

685
00:37:19,719 --> 00:37:24,640
Speaker 1: getting everybody together, just incorporating our system, incorporating our culture,

686
00:37:26,080 --> 00:37:28,319
Speaker 1: letting them see what we're all about, how we're going

687
00:37:28,360 --> 00:37:31,120
Speaker 1: to go about doing things. I think that is very

688
00:37:31,239 --> 00:37:34,160
Speaker 1: very important in them understanding how they're going to be coached.

689
00:37:35,400 --> 00:37:39,400
Speaker 1: And basically that's what you get out of that. You're

690
00:37:39,480 --> 00:37:42,960
Speaker 1: exactly right now. I've never made a decision on whether

691
00:37:43,000 --> 00:37:47,080
Speaker 1: a player can or cannot play without shoulder pads on,

692
00:37:47,360 --> 00:37:51,279
Speaker 1: because that's football. But what you can do is you

693
00:37:51,360 --> 00:37:53,560
Speaker 1: can kind of get them the running around out there,

694
00:37:54,120 --> 00:37:58,080
Speaker 1: you can teach, you can teach some fundamentals, and then

695
00:37:58,120 --> 00:38:00,200
Speaker 1: basically once you get into training camp, which is the

696
00:38:00,239 --> 00:38:02,760
Speaker 1: beauty of training camp, is that now you get to

697
00:38:03,040 --> 00:38:06,719
Speaker 1: put that into effect and kind of really now see

698
00:38:06,760 --> 00:38:09,000
Speaker 1: what things are all about, you know. So that's the

699
00:38:09,040 --> 00:38:13,080
Speaker 1: most important thing. Coach. You've been such a technician coaching

700
00:38:13,120 --> 00:38:15,360
Speaker 1: in your life and getting very specific, what's it like

701
00:38:15,440 --> 00:38:18,279
Speaker 1: to oversee the whole thing and where did you find

702
00:38:18,320 --> 00:38:21,000
Speaker 1: yourself spending time? Did you spread it out evenly, or

703
00:38:21,040 --> 00:38:23,040
Speaker 1: were there certain areas where you might spend more time

704
00:38:23,080 --> 00:38:25,799
Speaker 1: than others. Mark, I was all over the place. And

705
00:38:25,840 --> 00:38:27,600
Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you the reason I was all over

706
00:38:27,600 --> 00:38:30,880
Speaker 1: the place is is it because this is an excellent

707
00:38:30,920 --> 00:38:34,040
Speaker 1: coaching staff. This is a this is this This staff

708
00:38:34,080 --> 00:38:36,759
Speaker 1: has been around and and and and know what it

709
00:38:36,800 --> 00:38:39,560
Speaker 1: takes and knows what it's all about. Um. I've worked

710
00:38:39,560 --> 00:38:41,920
Speaker 1: with some of these guys before. Some I haven't worked with,

711
00:38:42,040 --> 00:38:45,280
Speaker 1: but I've I've coached against them, and just getting around

712
00:38:45,719 --> 00:38:49,640
Speaker 1: for me to see how how they go about doing

713
00:38:49,680 --> 00:38:53,160
Speaker 1: things and how they how they do their teaching. And

714
00:38:53,560 --> 00:38:56,640
Speaker 1: it was basically a learning experience for me because I

715
00:38:56,719 --> 00:38:59,160
Speaker 1: found myself a couple of times in practice, like like

716
00:38:59,200 --> 00:39:01,080
Speaker 1: you said, I was all over the place. Then all

717
00:39:01,080 --> 00:39:02,680
Speaker 1: of a sudden, I've been in every place, now saying

718
00:39:02,680 --> 00:39:04,319
Speaker 1: now now where do I go? What do I do?

719
00:39:04,719 --> 00:39:07,439
Speaker 1: So I all I did was kept going back and forth,

720
00:39:07,560 --> 00:39:09,759
Speaker 1: going around. I actually I end up going around too

721
00:39:09,760 --> 00:39:12,879
Speaker 1: and just talking to some people on the practice field,

722
00:39:12,880 --> 00:39:15,279
Speaker 1: whether they were whether they were a trainers, whether they

723
00:39:15,280 --> 00:39:18,600
Speaker 1: were equipment people, just kind of you know, just filling

724
00:39:18,600 --> 00:39:21,000
Speaker 1: things out and just seeing it and actually asking them questions,

725
00:39:21,120 --> 00:39:23,799
Speaker 1: what do you think, how's things going? How's that you know?

726
00:39:23,880 --> 00:39:26,879
Speaker 1: And then especially during the individual periods when the coaches

727
00:39:26,920 --> 00:39:29,839
Speaker 1: are actually doing all their individual coaching. But I'll tell

728
00:39:29,840 --> 00:39:33,680
Speaker 1: you what, though, there's two things that really just resonated

729
00:39:33,680 --> 00:39:35,720
Speaker 1: with me as a head coach here and I couldn't

730
00:39:35,760 --> 00:39:39,000
Speaker 1: get this in the same day. It's when we start practice.

731
00:39:39,400 --> 00:39:42,280
Speaker 1: On offense, they do they do a little a bag

732
00:39:42,360 --> 00:39:45,480
Speaker 1: drill where everybody but the offensive lineman and John you've

733
00:39:45,480 --> 00:39:48,480
Speaker 1: seen this, where where everybody but the offensive lineman they

734
00:39:48,520 --> 00:39:51,239
Speaker 1: go through a ball security drill, you know, I mean,

735
00:39:51,239 --> 00:39:53,920
Speaker 1: and everybody that touches a ball, you know, get to

736
00:39:53,960 --> 00:39:58,719
Speaker 1: do this drill. And then on defense, they everybody on

737
00:39:58,800 --> 00:40:01,239
Speaker 1: the defense goes down there and Tim does the ball

738
00:40:01,280 --> 00:40:03,680
Speaker 1: security thing with all the offensive coaches love you and

739
00:40:03,719 --> 00:40:05,920
Speaker 1: his coaches do what they call they hit the sled.

740
00:40:06,320 --> 00:40:10,480
Speaker 1: And I'm gonna tell you something. I first started offense. Obviously,

741
00:40:10,640 --> 00:40:13,080
Speaker 1: I started with the offense first, not because I'm an

742
00:40:13,080 --> 00:40:16,239
Speaker 1: offensive guy, but I started that first simply because there

743
00:40:16,239 --> 00:40:18,359
Speaker 1: were the drill that was closest to me. So I says,

744
00:40:18,400 --> 00:40:20,359
Speaker 1: I'm gonna watch this drill. So I watched that drill

745
00:40:20,440 --> 00:40:22,320
Speaker 1: ball security. Let me tell you something, Bassive, kid is

746
00:40:22,360 --> 00:40:24,440
Speaker 1: very important in this league. You protect the ball, you

747
00:40:24,480 --> 00:40:27,399
Speaker 1: protect your team. And not only that. We always tell them,

748
00:40:27,560 --> 00:40:29,840
Speaker 1: not only you protect if you protect the ball, you

749
00:40:29,880 --> 00:40:32,839
Speaker 1: protect your place on his football team. So that's how

750
00:40:32,880 --> 00:40:35,760
Speaker 1: important that is. And then so I watched that drill.

751
00:40:35,800 --> 00:40:38,359
Speaker 1: I love watching that drill, and we start practice with that.

752
00:40:38,680 --> 00:40:41,239
Speaker 1: The next day, I went down to the defense and

753
00:40:41,280 --> 00:40:43,360
Speaker 1: they were hitting that sled. And let me tell you

754
00:40:43,400 --> 00:40:47,000
Speaker 1: something that has become one of my favorite things to

755
00:40:47,120 --> 00:40:50,360
Speaker 1: do is when we start practice with our defense, with

756
00:40:50,480 --> 00:40:54,799
Speaker 1: that whole defense hitting that sled. You talking about adrenaline.

757
00:40:54,840 --> 00:40:58,560
Speaker 1: Going now to see the defensive backs, to see the linebackers,

758
00:40:58,600 --> 00:41:02,320
Speaker 1: the lineman, every body hitting that sled. It just fired

759
00:41:02,400 --> 00:41:04,320
Speaker 1: me up. And John, going back to what you mentioned

760
00:41:04,320 --> 00:41:07,080
Speaker 1: earlier about and Mark about no pads, let me tell

761
00:41:07,080 --> 00:41:08,759
Speaker 1: you something, you don't have to have pads to hit

762
00:41:08,800 --> 00:41:12,319
Speaker 1: that sled. Now, they were doing a great job of that,

763
00:41:12,400 --> 00:41:14,759
Speaker 1: and I get so excited. I actually come out of

764
00:41:14,800 --> 00:41:17,920
Speaker 1: that drill sometimes tired just from running my mouth and

765
00:41:17,960 --> 00:41:20,440
Speaker 1: just talking to those guys about how how excited I

766
00:41:20,440 --> 00:41:24,040
Speaker 1: am about them hitting that sled. But that that's you know,

767
00:41:24,120 --> 00:41:28,120
Speaker 1: I've learned that. Basically, I'm the head coach. We've got

768
00:41:28,200 --> 00:41:31,040
Speaker 1: coaches here that run the offense, run the defense, run

769
00:41:31,040 --> 00:41:33,600
Speaker 1: the special teams. And speaking of our special teams, when

770
00:41:33,640 --> 00:41:35,680
Speaker 1: our special team spirit starts in the middle of the

771
00:41:36,040 --> 00:41:40,040
Speaker 1: of the practice, oh my gosh, everybody on our football

772
00:41:40,080 --> 00:41:42,600
Speaker 1: team is involved in that in some point, even our quarterbacks.

773
00:41:43,080 --> 00:41:47,200
Speaker 1: So to see those drills, and for me, it has

774
00:41:47,239 --> 00:41:50,200
Speaker 1: been a great experience for me being able to see

775
00:41:50,400 --> 00:41:53,000
Speaker 1: the big picture. You know, I never got to see

776
00:41:53,040 --> 00:41:56,160
Speaker 1: the defensive guys do that before. I've never saw the

777
00:41:56,360 --> 00:41:59,400
Speaker 1: entire special teams because when the special teams was going on,

778
00:41:59,560 --> 00:42:01,759
Speaker 1: I tell you whatever, guys that weren't on special teams

779
00:42:01,760 --> 00:42:05,239
Speaker 1: when we start doing the individual drills. So it's been exciting.

780
00:42:05,400 --> 00:42:08,239
Speaker 1: And I'll tell you what, because of that, being a

781
00:42:08,280 --> 00:42:10,600
Speaker 1: head coach, that's a pretty good gig. Being able to

782
00:42:10,600 --> 00:42:14,120
Speaker 1: see everybody do those things in practice. Now, how much

783
00:42:14,160 --> 00:42:17,160
Speaker 1: do you have to fight it, though, coach, to allow

784
00:42:17,280 --> 00:42:22,440
Speaker 1: those coaches to coach and not jump in immediately maybe

785
00:42:22,440 --> 00:42:24,640
Speaker 1: like you want to. I mean, you're the head coach.

786
00:42:24,680 --> 00:42:26,640
Speaker 1: You can do it. Like you said, You've got a

787
00:42:26,640 --> 00:42:28,600
Speaker 1: bunch of coaches on staff that are really good teachers.

788
00:42:28,840 --> 00:42:30,360
Speaker 1: How much do you have to fight that urge to

789
00:42:30,520 --> 00:42:33,760
Speaker 1: not jump in and not be the guy that because

790
00:42:33,800 --> 00:42:37,000
Speaker 1: you've been that guy in the past, just running the drills,

791
00:42:37,239 --> 00:42:39,480
Speaker 1: teaching the receivers routes, all that you've been that guy.

792
00:42:39,719 --> 00:42:41,759
Speaker 1: How much do you fight that to not jump in

793
00:42:42,440 --> 00:42:45,320
Speaker 1: in front of your position coaches, if you will, John,

794
00:42:45,320 --> 00:42:47,359
Speaker 1: that is a great question, and I'm gonna tell you

795
00:42:47,400 --> 00:42:50,640
Speaker 1: something about that for both of you. Here, I said

796
00:42:50,680 --> 00:42:53,320
Speaker 1: to myself, I said, if I ever became a head coach,

797
00:42:53,680 --> 00:42:57,040
Speaker 1: I says, man, I hope that if obviously I've been

798
00:42:57,080 --> 00:43:00,120
Speaker 1: on offense my whole career, I says, I hope that

799
00:43:00,160 --> 00:43:02,360
Speaker 1: I don't start going over there in the receiver drills

800
00:43:02,440 --> 00:43:06,800
Speaker 1: or quarterback drills and all those drills and start getting

801
00:43:06,840 --> 00:43:10,000
Speaker 1: flashbacks of what I used to do or how I

802
00:43:10,160 --> 00:43:13,440
Speaker 1: used to do it. And I made a promise to myself,

803
00:43:13,920 --> 00:43:16,560
Speaker 1: and I'd be lying. And I if I told you

804
00:43:16,719 --> 00:43:20,640
Speaker 1: that that hasn't happened, it has happened. And as soon

805
00:43:20,680 --> 00:43:24,560
Speaker 1: as it happened, I caught myself and I went away

806
00:43:24,680 --> 00:43:27,160
Speaker 1: right away because I said here, and you said, I

807
00:43:27,239 --> 00:43:29,600
Speaker 1: made a promise to myself not to do that, And

808
00:43:29,680 --> 00:43:34,480
Speaker 1: again it has happened. But I have to catch myself

809
00:43:34,520 --> 00:43:37,239
Speaker 1: now and that's why again I gotta remember it. You're

810
00:43:37,280 --> 00:43:40,160
Speaker 1: the head coach. And here's the other thing. You hired

811
00:43:40,200 --> 00:43:44,440
Speaker 1: those guys to coach and teach their way, not my way.

812
00:43:44,719 --> 00:43:47,480
Speaker 1: We all have a way here and it's the Texan way,

813
00:43:47,920 --> 00:43:50,399
Speaker 1: and we all know that. We know we do things

814
00:43:50,400 --> 00:43:52,719
Speaker 1: a certain way. But you teach it how you know

815
00:43:52,800 --> 00:43:55,520
Speaker 1: how to teach it. And so I found myself now

816
00:43:55,840 --> 00:43:59,400
Speaker 1: getting much much better. And listen, the OTAs have been

817
00:43:59,440 --> 00:44:02,080
Speaker 1: a good let listen for David Culley, the head coach.

818
00:44:02,120 --> 00:44:05,160
Speaker 1: From that standpoint, now, I've learned something through doing that,

819
00:44:05,200 --> 00:44:07,040
Speaker 1: so I think that will helped me going into training

820
00:44:07,080 --> 00:44:09,759
Speaker 1: camp and doing the same thing. Big thanks to Charles A.

821
00:44:09,760 --> 00:44:12,560
Speaker 1: Matter who A, J. Moore, David Culley, Mark Vandamer, Drew

822
00:44:12,600 --> 00:44:15,399
Speaker 1: Doherty and all of you for listening. Thank you so much.

823
00:44:15,440 --> 00:44:17,560
Speaker 1: We will see you tomorrow and as always, go Texans.
