WEBVTT - Coach Culley, Tyrod Taylor + More | Texans All Access 0:00:00.280 --> 0:00:03.240 Hey, what's up, everybody. Welcome to a Friday edition, a 0:00:03.360 --> 0:00:08.960 Black Friday, Day after Thanksgiving edition of Texans All Access. 0:00:08.960 --> 0:00:11.959 I know many of you are out there celebrating Black 0:00:12.000 --> 0:00:14.440 Friday deals and sales and all that kind of stuff. 0:00:14.520 --> 0:00:19.200 Hopefully you're safe, you are warm, not wet like we 0:00:19.200 --> 0:00:22.360 were in Tennessee last week, and you are enjoying yourself 0:00:22.520 --> 0:00:26.599 and being kind to one another. I can't emphasize that 0:00:26.840 --> 0:00:30.680 enough to be kind to one another at this holiday season, 0:00:30.720 --> 0:00:32.800 but I appreciate you being here for Texans All Access. 0:00:32.840 --> 0:00:35.600 I'm your host, John Harris, football analyst, sideline reporter, and 0:00:35.680 --> 0:00:37.360 we've got a lot to do. We're gonna hear from 0:00:37.520 --> 0:00:44.760 David Culley, Tyrod Taylor, Jimmy Morrissey, David Fletcher, Jimmy Morrissey again. 0:00:45.360 --> 0:00:49.239 Also my Keys to the Game and my game predictions 0:00:49.240 --> 0:00:50.800 straight up and against the spread, brought to you by 0:00:50.800 --> 0:00:55.200 Caesar's Rewards for every way you play. A lot to do, 0:00:56.080 --> 0:00:58.760 so let's start the way we always do on a 0:00:58.800 --> 0:01:02.280 Friday with our good pal, the head coach of your 0:01:02.360 --> 0:01:06.360 Houston Texans, David Culley, who gave a little game preview 0:01:06.680 --> 0:01:09.679 to the Voice of the Texans, Mark Vandemir coach. Before 0:01:09.680 --> 0:01:11.360 we get into the game itself, how was the week 0:01:11.360 --> 0:01:13.800 of preparation for you head Thanksgiving? I know you cut 0:01:13.840 --> 0:01:16.120 that day not shorter, but you changed the way you 0:01:16.440 --> 0:01:19.319 arrange the day and you're ready to go for the Jets. 0:01:19.760 --> 0:01:23.240 Mark it was a normal week for us. The only 0:01:23.280 --> 0:01:27.440 thing we did we adjusted Thanksgiving practice on Thursday simply 0:01:27.480 --> 0:01:29.840 because we wanted to give our players and a coaches 0:01:29.880 --> 0:01:32.600 time at home right to be able to enjoy the 0:01:32.640 --> 0:01:35.280 Thanksgiving day. But with as a normal practice, normal week 0:01:35.480 --> 0:01:38.480 other than we know on Friday, what ends up happening 0:01:38.720 --> 0:01:41.240 is that guys have put in a bunch of food, 0:01:41.280 --> 0:01:43.600 coaches have put in a bunch of food, and the 0:01:43.840 --> 0:01:46.720 energy level has to be picked up. We really got 0:01:46.720 --> 0:01:48.680 to do a good job of coaching to get them back, 0:01:48.800 --> 0:01:50.640 and the same thing with us as coaches and with 0:01:50.680 --> 0:01:52.960 those guys as players. But it was basically a normal week, 0:01:53.000 --> 0:01:55.960 except it ended up being having time with your family 0:01:56.120 --> 0:01:58.520 for a whole half a day on Thanksgiving. Well, you've 0:01:58.520 --> 0:02:00.640 talked about all season long how you like the temperament 0:02:00.680 --> 0:02:03.240 of this team, win or lose, But coming off of victory, 0:02:03.400 --> 0:02:06.400 is there something extra that you sense in the prep 0:02:06.440 --> 0:02:09.360 for the next one up. Well, there's the psyche is better. 0:02:09.480 --> 0:02:12.919 I mean, you feel it and and havn't It's been 0:02:12.960 --> 0:02:15.840 a while since we had had that feeling. But Mark, 0:02:15.880 --> 0:02:18.320 as far as the preparation, the preparation was the same, 0:02:18.600 --> 0:02:21.360 The same energy was there, but you kind of feel it. 0:02:21.360 --> 0:02:23.240 You feel it as a coach, you know, you feel 0:02:23.360 --> 0:02:26.480 you feel better about things. Here's the thing about when 0:02:26.520 --> 0:02:29.840 you win. Sometimes when you win games, things get masked. 0:02:29.919 --> 0:02:33.000 In other words, you know there are things that although 0:02:33.040 --> 0:02:35.120 you won the ball game, there was like five or 0:02:35.160 --> 0:02:37.079 six things in that ball game that could have flipped 0:02:37.120 --> 0:02:38.800 the game around that you got to make sure you 0:02:38.840 --> 0:02:41.919 correct when you win. Sometimes as a coach and as 0:02:41.919 --> 0:02:44.959 a player, you kind of go over those things and 0:02:45.400 --> 0:02:47.680 kind of forget that those things happen. Where when you 0:02:47.760 --> 0:02:52.320 lose those kind of games like that, then you isolate 0:02:52.400 --> 0:02:54.240 on those things. You do that so you have to 0:02:54.280 --> 0:02:57.120 do the same things after a win. Sometimes we're a 0:02:57.160 --> 0:03:00.240 little more in tune with things after win and we 0:03:00.240 --> 0:03:03.360 are after a loss for that reason. Coach and passing 0:03:03.440 --> 0:03:07.359 yards per game Top sixteen teams. Everybody is above five 0:03:07.480 --> 0:03:10.400 hundred except for the Jets. They're ninth. And I know 0:03:10.440 --> 0:03:12.920 they've used multiple quarterbacks, but it appears that's one thing 0:03:13.000 --> 0:03:14.600 they do well that you have to be ready for 0:03:14.680 --> 0:03:17.480 their aerial attack. It's very good. And you know, obviously, 0:03:17.480 --> 0:03:19.600 starting with the rookie quarterback that they have who we 0:03:19.600 --> 0:03:21.359 are going to see this week, they do a good 0:03:21.440 --> 0:03:24.160 job of running football. That's part of who they are. 0:03:24.400 --> 0:03:26.679 They're very good at it. They've got good weapons. That's 0:03:26.680 --> 0:03:28.720 part of their philosophy of how they do things. And 0:03:29.480 --> 0:03:31.760 I expect them to continue to do that same thing. 0:03:32.000 --> 0:03:33.880 And I know with your offense, you're looking to run 0:03:33.919 --> 0:03:36.160 the ball better. We've talked about that plenty of times. 0:03:36.280 --> 0:03:38.560 But you're coming off a game in which you've finally 0:03:38.560 --> 0:03:40.240 got into the end zone on the road. You had 0:03:40.240 --> 0:03:42.160 some positives there, but I know you're trying to improve 0:03:42.160 --> 0:03:43.880 on that side of the football. And that goes back 0:03:43.880 --> 0:03:46.040 to what I said about when you win games, things 0:03:46.040 --> 0:03:48.119 get masked. We did not run the ball as well 0:03:48.160 --> 0:03:50.240 in that game as we'd like to. We ran it 0:03:50.680 --> 0:03:52.520 as much as we like to. We just need to 0:03:52.600 --> 0:03:54.920 run it better. Mark, And when you run it better, 0:03:55.720 --> 0:03:59.120 obviously the passing game becomes better, it becomes more consistent, 0:03:59.520 --> 0:04:03.600 and whether the quarterback is scoring it or the backs 0:04:03.600 --> 0:04:06.000 are doing it on the runs or whatnot, are getting 0:04:06.000 --> 0:04:09.120 out of pocket, extending plays. The fact that you're you 0:04:09.280 --> 0:04:12.280 have to defend that is so important in people being 0:04:12.280 --> 0:04:14.480 able to stop what you do. And you haven't been 0:04:14.520 --> 0:04:16.160 home in a while, and here you are back at 0:04:16.279 --> 0:04:18.440 n RG and a salute to Service day and I 0:04:18.480 --> 0:04:20.599 know you're where they're gear and everything. So many people 0:04:20.760 --> 0:04:23.800 love this theme day for so many reasons. Well, the reasons, 0:04:24.279 --> 0:04:26.240 the reasons why we are able to do what we 0:04:26.360 --> 0:04:29.720 do and enjoy life the way we enjoy life in 0:04:29.760 --> 0:04:33.240 this country is because of those servicemen and service women 0:04:33.400 --> 0:04:36.719 that have served this nation. And my father and my 0:04:36.839 --> 0:04:38.960 uncle one was Korean War and the other one was 0:04:39.000 --> 0:04:42.200 World War Two, and they never never let me forget. 0:04:42.520 --> 0:04:44.680 Why you're able to do the things that you're doing 0:04:44.800 --> 0:04:47.320 right now is because of the people that have served, 0:04:47.480 --> 0:04:49.920 people that have lost their lives for us to be 0:04:49.960 --> 0:04:51.679 able to do what we do. And it's very special 0:04:51.880 --> 0:04:56.359 and man coach and very very well said, all right, 0:04:56.480 --> 0:05:00.640 injury report, we gotta get our status report in. It's 0:05:00.680 --> 0:05:04.040 not lengthy, which is good. The Texans only have one 0:05:04.080 --> 0:05:06.360 player out. We knew this was coming, Jordan Jenkins when 0:05:06.360 --> 0:05:09.200 I play against his former team. He is out. Davey 0:05:09.240 --> 0:05:11.680 On Davis miss practice today for the second day. He 0:05:11.800 --> 0:05:17.200 is questionable but limited participants today practice. Nico Collins, John 0:05:17.279 --> 0:05:22.080 Than Grenard, Lonnie Johnson. Those three are questionable for this one. 0:05:22.120 --> 0:05:24.600 For the Jets, we mentioned this, Michael Carter is out 0:05:24.600 --> 0:05:28.600 with that sprained ankle. Limited participants, Corey Davis starting receiver, 0:05:28.680 --> 0:05:33.400 Fully Fought Takasi, defensive lineman John Franklin, Meyers Shack Loss 0:05:33.400 --> 0:05:37.160 and CJ. Moseley. Nathan Shephard. Five guys in the front seven. 0:05:37.240 --> 0:05:41.479 They're all questionable along with Davis. So two players out. 0:05:42.000 --> 0:05:43.760 We knew both of those were out at the beginning 0:05:43.760 --> 0:05:45.240 of the week. We'll keep an eye on who else 0:05:45.440 --> 0:05:48.680 is out as we move a little bit closer to 0:05:49.360 --> 0:05:53.479 Sunday kickoff at noon at NRG Stadium. Thankfully, a guy 0:05:53.520 --> 0:05:56.360 that is in is Tyrod Taylor, and he did a 0:05:56.400 --> 0:05:59.200 little Deep st interview with Deep City. Great to see 0:05:59.200 --> 0:06:01.560 you back out on the field again. I think one 0:06:01.560 --> 0:06:04.360 of my favorite pictures is going to forever be this season. 0:06:04.480 --> 0:06:07.840 You diving over the pile with the rain and you're 0:06:07.839 --> 0:06:10.400 getting that touchdown on the road against Tennessee. Yeah. Well, 0:06:10.440 --> 0:06:12.200 I was definitely a fun game to be a part of. 0:06:12.520 --> 0:06:15.120 Obviously didn't plan on jumping, but that's how it goes 0:06:15.120 --> 0:06:17.880 some downs in the game when you're just in a 0:06:17.960 --> 0:06:22.000 moment and competing and doing whatever it takes to get 0:06:22.000 --> 0:06:23.680 the team and the end zone. I was just going 0:06:23.760 --> 0:06:25.880 to ask you that, at what point were you scrambling 0:06:25.920 --> 0:06:27.080 you thought, you know what, now would be a good 0:06:27.120 --> 0:06:29.560 time to dive over guys. Um, I really just took 0:06:29.560 --> 0:06:32.040 the chances. I figured most dvs go low, so I 0:06:32.200 --> 0:06:34.039 just kind of reading his body language and look like 0:06:34.080 --> 0:06:37.279 he was preparing to either try to chop me or 0:06:37.360 --> 0:06:39.080 go at my feet, and I just try to jump. 0:06:39.080 --> 0:06:41.520 I wanted to declare, but it's probably a good thing 0:06:41.520 --> 0:06:44.159 that he grabbed my foot because I probably would have 0:06:44.160 --> 0:06:46.440 flipped and fell on my head or something. Yeah, we 0:06:46.480 --> 0:06:48.640 definitely don't want to see that. I got admit I 0:06:48.640 --> 0:06:50.360 cringed a little bit when you dove, but then once 0:06:50.400 --> 0:06:52.320 you scored, it was like, that was great. We'd love 0:06:52.320 --> 0:06:55.359 to see that again. Just stay healthy. Your mobility is 0:06:55.400 --> 0:06:58.640 something that everyone sort of talked about before you even 0:06:58.640 --> 0:07:00.840 took to the field, and David Cole, who remembered you 0:07:01.120 --> 0:07:03.200 obviously from your time in Buffalo said he thought you 0:07:03.200 --> 0:07:06.039 looked even faster this year than you did back then. 0:07:06.160 --> 0:07:08.359 So as a quarterback, there's so many different aspects of 0:07:08.400 --> 0:07:10.240 your game you have to work on. But how do 0:07:10.240 --> 0:07:13.000 you work on mobility? How do you work on your speed? Well, 0:07:13.080 --> 0:07:15.720 just I mean taking training in the off season series, 0:07:15.760 --> 0:07:19.200 I mean obviously understanding and that's part of my game. Actually, 0:07:19.240 --> 0:07:21.800 when Coach Kelley, when we were together, I was coming 0:07:21.800 --> 0:07:24.520 off of growing surgery. So it could be true that 0:07:24.640 --> 0:07:27.120 I am more explosive this year. I could say it, 0:07:27.200 --> 0:07:29.480 But it's just detail in the preparation in the off 0:07:29.520 --> 0:07:32.800 season and trusting the guys in the weight room here 0:07:33.120 --> 0:07:35.120 in season, and just taking care of your body, doing 0:07:35.160 --> 0:07:37.200 the right thing. You don't just wake up like I'm fast. 0:07:37.600 --> 0:07:40.560 I can just once upon it, once upon a time day, 0:07:40.560 --> 0:07:42.360 you're gonna work on it a little bit. One of 0:07:42.400 --> 0:07:45.160 the other things about you your interceptions per past attempt 0:07:45.200 --> 0:07:47.440 It's one of the lowest in the league. One point 0:07:47.440 --> 0:07:51.000 five percent of your past attempts have ended in interception. 0:07:51.040 --> 0:07:52.760 That's something that a lot of people talk about. Your 0:07:52.800 --> 0:07:55.680 ability to protect the ball. Aaron Rodgers is the lowest 0:07:55.680 --> 0:07:57.800 at one point three percent. How does that sort of 0:07:57.800 --> 0:08:00.480 come about over the course of your career. Learning not 0:08:00.520 --> 0:08:02.680 to throw interceptions. I mean, is that something that's just 0:08:02.720 --> 0:08:06.000 a learned skill, learned trade. Do you have to focus 0:08:06.040 --> 0:08:08.080 time on it or is it just a matter of 0:08:08.120 --> 0:08:09.920 how you play the game? Um. I think it's a 0:08:09.960 --> 0:08:12.280 little bit of both. It's definitely how I play the game, 0:08:12.320 --> 0:08:15.760 but I think just learning um over the year, just 0:08:16.080 --> 0:08:19.560 the winning formula, I mean, obviously no self inflictive mistakes, 0:08:19.560 --> 0:08:22.000 and that's turnovers as part of that, as well as 0:08:22.240 --> 0:08:25.360 penalties and trying to keep those at minimum definitely helps. 0:08:25.480 --> 0:08:28.000 I remember back in my early days and getting drafted 0:08:28.080 --> 0:08:29.920 the bottomore we had a very strong defense and a 0:08:29.920 --> 0:08:31.760 lot of talent on the offense as well too. But 0:08:31.840 --> 0:08:35.240 I remember having conversations with Ed Reid and ray Lewis, 0:08:35.280 --> 0:08:38.040 those guys, and just the defensive mindset when you have 0:08:38.080 --> 0:08:43.200 a strong defensive unit, just sometimes it's it's okay to 0:08:43.760 --> 0:08:45.559 in the drive and whether it's a field goal or 0:08:45.600 --> 0:08:47.559 a punt, I mean, obviously not giving a ball back 0:08:47.600 --> 0:08:49.679 to the other team. Shooting in the field. Sometimes you 0:08:49.720 --> 0:08:52.000 got to play more of a game management game, and 0:08:52.000 --> 0:08:53.520 it sometimes when you have to go out there and 0:08:53.520 --> 0:08:56.400 take those risks, I'm and give you guys opportunities to 0:08:56.440 --> 0:08:59.520 make plays. So it's a it's a little bit of balance. Yeah, 0:08:59.559 --> 0:09:02.560 it goes that. Being said, the Miami game, everyone talked 0:09:02.600 --> 0:09:05.520 about how that was so uncharacteristic. How about it for 0:09:05.600 --> 0:09:07.679 you mentally because you end on that game and then 0:09:07.679 --> 0:09:10.080 you've got this long stretch of a bye week where 0:09:10.120 --> 0:09:11.880 that's sort of the last thing sitting in your memory. 0:09:11.880 --> 0:09:14.840 But you come out against Tennessee and it's like a 0:09:14.880 --> 0:09:17.600 distant memory for you. For you personally, how do you 0:09:17.640 --> 0:09:20.080 overcome a tough game like that and turn the page 0:09:20.080 --> 0:09:21.760 to the next game and not let that really linger 0:09:21.840 --> 0:09:24.680 in your mindset? Yeah? I mean, honestly, as a competitor, 0:09:24.760 --> 0:09:27.360 how manytime you lose, it's tough you beat yourself up 0:09:27.400 --> 0:09:29.719 about it. I'm probably one of my or not one 0:09:29.760 --> 0:09:32.040 of my I'm my biggest critic, and my parents to 0:09:32.120 --> 0:09:33.800 tell you that, the coaches to tell you that, so 0:09:33.840 --> 0:09:36.360 obviously getting the bad taste out of him. If you 0:09:36.600 --> 0:09:39.360 want to play the next week, we gotta buye week, 0:09:39.400 --> 0:09:42.000 so you hatta. I had a chance to process it, 0:09:42.160 --> 0:09:44.560 learn from it, and make sure that I put it 0:09:44.600 --> 0:09:47.880 behind me, didn't let it linger until the next weeks. 0:09:47.960 --> 0:09:50.439 I think that's just all about being a professional. Understand 0:09:50.480 --> 0:09:54.160 it's going to be ups and downs on your personal journey, 0:09:54.200 --> 0:09:56.920 but also in your athletic career. And if you stay 0:09:56.960 --> 0:09:58.959 focused on what you set out to do at the 0:09:59.000 --> 0:10:01.960 beginning of the season, you can stay layers and focused 0:10:02.000 --> 0:10:03.800 on the ultimate goal, which is one in each and 0:10:03.800 --> 0:10:05.839 every week, and putting yourself in a position to do that. 0:10:06.000 --> 0:10:08.120 And if you're thinking about the past, you can't be 0:10:08.160 --> 0:10:10.360 your best self moving forward. All right, a little bit 0:10:10.400 --> 0:10:13.040 about your past. You grew up in Hampton, Virginia, and 0:10:13.120 --> 0:10:15.680 I heard somewhere in an interview that you did a 0:10:15.679 --> 0:10:18.319 long time ago that Allen Iverson is like a big 0:10:18.360 --> 0:10:19.920 brother to you because you guys both grew up in 0:10:19.960 --> 0:10:21.719 the same in the same town. So what did you 0:10:21.800 --> 0:10:24.679 learn from Allen Iverson growing up? I mean, obviously he 0:10:24.760 --> 0:10:28.000 was just about every every athlete my age. I mean 0:10:28.040 --> 0:10:30.960 growing up watched Alon Iverson. They've seen the braids, they've 0:10:30.960 --> 0:10:33.920 seen the swag on the court, and I've seen them 0:10:33.920 --> 0:10:36.120 on the football field as well too. Just I mean 0:10:36.160 --> 0:10:38.160 all around baller. Just just why did he took with 0:10:38.240 --> 0:10:40.719 him and being himself each and every day? This was 0:10:40.840 --> 0:10:44.040 unique and I mean, if you know people from my area, 0:10:44.120 --> 0:10:47.640 I mean, we definitely take those conversations and we take 0:10:47.920 --> 0:10:50.440 the way he played, the way Pig played other guys, 0:10:50.559 --> 0:10:52.600 and I won't continue to keep naming, but it's a 0:10:52.600 --> 0:10:54.800 ton of guys that we just take those I guess 0:10:55.040 --> 0:10:57.880 just looked at them and put them as a focus. 0:10:58.080 --> 0:10:59.959 More so to say when I when we were younger, 0:11:00.120 --> 0:11:02.600 just trying to be like those guys and make plays 0:11:02.600 --> 0:11:05.720 and do what we could for our team. Well, you're 0:11:05.800 --> 0:11:08.679 really respected in the NFL as well. I feel like 0:11:09.320 --> 0:11:12.040 every time I hear any sort of commentator or former 0:11:12.080 --> 0:11:15.320 player talk about you, they always say, Tyrod Taylor my guy. 0:11:15.520 --> 0:11:18.319 In fact, I think it was Nate Burlison after your 0:11:18.360 --> 0:11:21.000 first your first start, he said, that's my guy. And 0:11:21.040 --> 0:11:23.240 what I want to know is because you're obviously not 0:11:23.280 --> 0:11:26.040 like a loud, raw raw guy. You're sort of soft spoken. 0:11:26.200 --> 0:11:29.000 You're you know, you're very thoughtful in what you say. 0:11:29.200 --> 0:11:31.640 How are you everyone's guy? Like? How do you make 0:11:31.679 --> 0:11:34.920 that connection? Oh? No, I mean Nate, it's a great, great, 0:11:35.080 --> 0:11:37.800 great dude. Thank you. Just a respect level. Obviously, We've 0:11:37.840 --> 0:11:41.400 crossed paths, and I've crossed paths within my eleven years 0:11:41.440 --> 0:11:44.000 as a professional with many guys and even guys that 0:11:44.040 --> 0:11:46.240 I played against in college they went on to be professionals, 0:11:46.240 --> 0:11:49.760 but just a respect level, always treating people with respect, 0:11:49.880 --> 0:11:52.880 and I mean ultimately game recognized game. I mean, regardless 0:11:52.880 --> 0:11:57.360 of how things shape out, game recognized game, game recognized game. 0:11:57.440 --> 0:11:59.800 And I think that could also be said for your fashion. 0:12:00.080 --> 0:12:02.480 We've really enjoyed some of your game day looks. How 0:12:02.520 --> 0:12:05.160 do you How would you describe your fashion personality? Oh, 0:12:05.720 --> 0:12:07.679 I don't know, it's tough to describe it. I actually 0:12:07.720 --> 0:12:09.920 had that question of years ago. I'm just being me. 0:12:10.400 --> 0:12:13.880 I'm not like you said, I'm not very outspoken. Um 0:12:13.920 --> 0:12:17.600 So sometimes when it comes to fashion, you let your outfit, 0:12:18.320 --> 0:12:21.400 your look speak for you away. I think it's just 0:12:21.480 --> 0:12:24.000 boils down to just being confident in whatever you wear. Yeah, 0:12:24.040 --> 0:12:25.880 I would agree with that, and you seem to pull 0:12:25.920 --> 0:12:28.360 that off. Well, who shops for you? You You shop for 0:12:28.400 --> 0:12:31.120 yourself and you do more so you get to keep 0:12:31.120 --> 0:12:33.560 the clothes that you purchased. That is that is a 0:12:33.600 --> 0:12:35.360 huge plus. All right, So how do you think your 0:12:35.360 --> 0:12:38.040 fashion has evolved over the years. I think it's evolved 0:12:38.040 --> 0:12:40.120 with time. I mean, I don't I don't want to 0:12:40.120 --> 0:12:43.320 say I'm trendy, Like I said, if anything is, it's 0:12:43.360 --> 0:12:46.920 something that just puts my personality together. Not necessarily like 0:12:46.960 --> 0:12:50.520 I said over outspoken person, but I speak through my 0:12:50.600 --> 0:12:54.280 office and I don't. All right, well, I like getting dressed. 0:12:54.280 --> 0:12:55.520 I mean, all right, we I'm gonna take you down 0:12:55.640 --> 0:12:59.400 memory lane. This is um Tyrod Taylor circa October Fish 0:12:59.520 --> 0:13:03.480 twenty wave. Yeah, you did a lot of suits and 0:13:03.559 --> 0:13:06.280 three piece suits which don't seem super comfortable on a plane. 0:13:06.360 --> 0:13:08.280 I actually have a story, but why I wore so 0:13:08.360 --> 0:13:11.360 many suits? Why so when I first time there, obviously 0:13:11.480 --> 0:13:14.480 Rex Ryann was a head coach. I was coming from Baltimore. 0:13:14.600 --> 0:13:16.680 Rex Ryan was coming from New York and he told 0:13:16.679 --> 0:13:18.840 me to me at the time, obviously Buffalo is not 0:13:18.920 --> 0:13:23.280 necessarily a bigger market. Obviously they've got more notoriety now 0:13:23.480 --> 0:13:26.160 because of them doing well the past couple of seasons. 0:13:26.320 --> 0:13:28.360 But he was saying that anytime you get a chance 0:13:28.400 --> 0:13:31.120 to be in front of a camera and Buffalo, make 0:13:31.160 --> 0:13:33.360 sure you present yourself well. And at the time it 0:13:33.400 --> 0:13:36.280 was my first year, got the starting job, and I 0:13:36.320 --> 0:13:38.640 was like, you know what I want to do fifteen 0:13:38.640 --> 0:13:42.000 different suits or sixteen different suits and ended up going 0:13:42.040 --> 0:13:44.280 with sixteen different suits that year. So I have a 0:13:44.280 --> 0:13:48.400 ton of suits at home because that's a lot of suits. 0:13:48.640 --> 0:13:54.480 Actually I did sixteen. That is a great story, Tyrod Taylor. 0:13:54.559 --> 0:13:57.680 Now maybe he can teach Jimmy Morrissey something because Jimmy, 0:13:57.720 --> 0:14:00.520 he's gonna teach Drew something. But Drews doesn't next right 0:14:00.559 --> 0:14:05.320 here on Texans All Access. Since All Access, I know 0:14:05.360 --> 0:14:09.040 we've got some really big fans out there today, but 0:14:09.080 --> 0:14:11.880 I got to give some props to today's biggest Houston 0:14:12.200 --> 0:14:14.840 Texas fan, and that's Dyking.

There's never an 0:15:53.960 --> 0:15:56.160 in between. I don't think I've ever had anybody like, oh, 0:15:56.160 --> 0:15:59.000 I'm two or I'm three. It's interesting to hear.

You're from Pennsylvania. 0:16:32.520 --> 0:16:35.080 How cool was it to get to actually suit up 0:16:35.080 --> 0:16:38.120 there and play really well for him? When you had 0:16:38.280 --> 0:16:40.640 you could have gone some other places. You had scholarship offers. 0:16:40.520 --> 0:16:42.280 You're like I'm gonna be a preferred walk on. I'm 0:16:42.320 --> 0:16:44.960 going here. I want to play her. Oh it was amazing. Uh. 0:16:45.240 --> 0:16:47.440 I really never grew up a college fan of anything. 0:16:47.640 --> 0:16:50.720 If anything, I was probably a Villanova basketball fan growing 0:16:50.800 --> 0:16:53.480 up in the Philly area. I when a team came 0:16:53.560 --> 0:16:56.120 time to choose a college, I had a couple FCS 0:16:56.200 --> 0:16:59.520 offers that were, you know, half scholarship, and I just 0:16:59.560 --> 0:17:02.200 love it and I love the relationship I had with 0:17:02.200 --> 0:17:04.119 all the coaches there and fell in love with the 0:17:04.119 --> 0:17:06.320 place from the first day. So it meant everything to 0:17:07.000 --> 0:17:09.760 be able to, you know, prove myself right and then 0:17:09.800 --> 0:17:12.680 prove those people that believed in me to go play 0:17:12.720 --> 0:17:14.679 four years there. So it was awesome. Yeah, and you 0:17:14.720 --> 0:17:16.720 were all acc I mean you played just about every game, 0:17:16.720 --> 0:17:19.520 you got injured, you came back, You win the Burlsworth Trophy, 0:17:19.560 --> 0:17:21.440 which is if you don't know about it, it's such 0:17:21.480 --> 0:17:24.000 an awesome award. It's given to a player who was 0:17:24.440 --> 0:17:27.840 started their career as a walk on. And you got 0:17:27.880 --> 0:17:29.760 that trophy and you've got some cool stuff on your 0:17:29.760 --> 0:17:31.560 Instagram about it. You talked about it last week in 0:17:31.600 --> 0:17:34.919 the press conference. How meaningful is that to you? Because 0:17:35.040 --> 0:17:37.480 it says a lot about who you are that you persevere. 0:17:37.840 --> 0:17:40.359 It definitely does. It's an incredible award. I'm really you know, 0:17:40.400 --> 0:17:42.760 grateful for the Burlsworth family, who I've gotten close with 0:17:42.880 --> 0:17:45.040 over I guess the past year. Now. The Burls was 0:17:45.080 --> 0:17:48.440 about to hand out their new award for this coming year. 0:17:48.840 --> 0:17:52.880 It's amazing. Brandon Burlsworth story is incredible, tragic, but really 0:17:52.880 --> 0:17:55.760 inspiring what he was able to do. And it's really 0:17:55.960 --> 0:17:57.919 a testament to all walk ons of what they have 0:17:57.960 --> 0:18:01.280 to go through and then do accomplish and chief success. Yeah. 0:18:01.600 --> 0:18:03.480 I heard a really cool story about you after the 0:18:03.520 --> 0:18:07.280 win in Miami. John Harris, who does the radio sideline reporting, 0:18:07.359 --> 0:18:08.960 he saw he was in the you know, in the 0:18:08.960 --> 0:18:12.000 locker room. Outside the locker room, he saw our film 0:18:12.040 --> 0:18:15.119 guys cutting things up and getting things ready for the 0:18:15.440 --> 0:18:18.399 tablets so you guys can actually analyze, you know, the 0:18:18.440 --> 0:18:20.720 game tape and everything. Afterwards on the plane home and 0:18:20.760 --> 0:18:22.560 they said you were He said, you were kind of 0:18:22.560 --> 0:18:25.159 waiting and just kind of checking, like nicely and in 0:18:25.240 --> 0:18:27.320 a polite way, like hey, yeah, you know, is it 0:18:27.359 --> 0:18:28.560 is it almost time?

So yeah, but my you know, my 0:18:39.200 --> 0:18:41.760 film studying, my preparation of gotten me this far. So 0:18:42.240 --> 0:18:43.800 I don't want to stop now. It's just always been 0:18:43.840 --> 0:18:46.280 a tradition ever my first game I started at Pitt 0:18:46.320 --> 0:18:50.600 always watched the the iPad copy version of the filmmac 0:18:50.680 --> 0:18:52.960 Get after every game and just watch it immediately.
