WEBVTT - WR Rating Review + Opponent Evaluations | Texans All Access 0:00:00.720 --> 0:00:02.719 To be able to take it to that next level. 0:00:02.880 --> 0:00:11.520 That's what I'm excited about. Blast hard with the sack 0:00:11.720 --> 0:00:15.280 back at the twenty five yard line touchdown. You're standing 0:00:15.680 --> 0:00:20.720 rock and roll, Tremont Smith, Coast to coast. There is 0:00:20.760 --> 0:00:25.360 no off season for your Houston Texans. Game day is 0:00:25.440 --> 0:00:31.040 every day. No, it's Texans all excess. Hello Texans, and 0:00:31.160 --> 0:00:34.239 welcome to the program that takes you inside NRG Stadium 0:00:34.280 --> 0:00:37.920 where it is game day eve Johnny, the Texans game. 0:00:38.080 --> 0:00:42.599 It's the Cobande Lone Star with Manchester City. That's your 0:00:42.600 --> 0:00:44.720 favorite team, isn't it? It is my favorite team. I'm 0:00:44.720 --> 0:00:47.879 so excited. When I pulled in today, one of their 0:00:47.880 --> 0:00:51.199 buses was there and I just it was so It's 0:00:51.240 --> 0:00:54.000 so wild. It was in the cafe a little while 0:00:54.000 --> 0:00:58.600 ago and their their staff. There was some staff in 0:00:58.600 --> 0:01:00.520 there and it was just like, WHOA man, this is 0:01:00.600 --> 0:01:02.639 It's really cool. Now. I haven't seen any of any 0:01:02.680 --> 0:01:05.440 of the players roaming around, but that's what tomorrow's for. 0:01:06.040 --> 0:01:09.640 Taking on Club America from Mexico. The one thing I 0:01:09.640 --> 0:01:14.000 love about soccer are these the way that they do 0:01:14.040 --> 0:01:18.360 their international play, like Champions League. I love because it's 0:01:18.360 --> 0:01:23.200 bringing in the champions from France and Germany and from 0:01:23.240 --> 0:01:27.160 England obviously from Premier League, but then to have England's 0:01:27.240 --> 0:01:29.760 champ and you know, a team from Mexico professional from 0:01:30.120 --> 0:01:31.399 I just love the fact that you can kind of 0:01:31.400 --> 0:01:33.759 cross streams like that, yeah, whereas you can't do that 0:01:33.840 --> 0:01:39.360 in and but you can obviously with soccer. So it's 0:01:39.360 --> 0:01:41.960 beautiful that. It's really really cool. It is the beautiful 0:01:42.000 --> 0:01:43.959 game that way, because you're right, you can actually play 0:01:44.000 --> 0:01:46.679 the sport tomorrow night here at NRG Stadium with Club 0:01:46.720 --> 0:01:49.960 America and Manchester City and it's fun and I think 0:01:50.000 --> 0:01:52.880 there's some tickets still available, so go to your ticketmaster's 0:01:52.920 --> 0:01:56.440 sources um Loan Start Sports and Entertainment. Putting the game 0:01:56.480 --> 0:01:59.120 on the Houston Texans. This is gonna be fun. I'm 0:01:59.120 --> 0:02:01.640 gonna be there with her kid too, because he's a 0:02:01.680 --> 0:02:04.560 big soccer fan. When he sees the Dynamo, he goes 0:02:04.680 --> 0:02:08.240 nuts on TV the Dynamo, so he's really fired up 0:02:08.240 --> 0:02:10.160 about this one tomorrow. I had to explain to him 0:02:10.400 --> 0:02:14.400 how this is this Club America versus Manchester City thing. 0:02:15.040 --> 0:02:17.280 But I love it. It's great and it's football. And 0:02:17.400 --> 0:02:19.760 here's another thing, Johnny and Texans fans will be interested 0:02:19.760 --> 0:02:23.119 in this, I think, not to get into the field situation, 0:02:23.560 --> 0:02:25.799 but they bring in a natural grass field for this, yes, 0:02:26.120 --> 0:02:29.120 and you and I noticed this. I was coming up, 0:02:29.160 --> 0:02:31.360 I think it was yesterday or the day before, coming 0:02:31.440 --> 0:02:34.600 up to the loading dock where I park, and I 0:02:34.760 --> 0:02:37.720 noticed the field. The roof was open and the field 0:02:37.800 --> 0:02:40.680 was covered in sunlight all the way through end zone 0:02:40.720 --> 0:02:43.160 to end zone. And I thought, now, I don't see 0:02:43.200 --> 0:02:45.640 that every day, because when the field is open on 0:02:45.680 --> 0:02:48.560 those rare occasions for a Texans football game, it's usually 0:02:49.160 --> 0:02:53.840 November at the earliest, right, and the sun covers from 0:02:53.840 --> 0:02:57.360 the twenty yard line in the south end zone on 0:02:57.520 --> 0:03:00.919 and then it gets smaller or the area throughout the 0:03:01.000 --> 0:03:03.760 day because the sun is at an angle further south 0:03:04.040 --> 0:03:06.359 right correct, for lack of a better way of putting it, 0:03:07.080 --> 0:03:09.919 this thing is right at this thing, the sun, this 0:03:10.000 --> 0:03:13.959 thing is right up above the roof, the open roof, 0:03:14.040 --> 0:03:16.720 just shining it on the entire field. So, World Cup, 0:03:16.919 --> 0:03:19.240 whatever soccer events you have here in the summer, not 0:03:19.240 --> 0:03:21.160 that you would open the roof for a game, but 0:03:21.520 --> 0:03:25.400 in between games to keep the grass fresh or you know, 0:03:25.400 --> 0:03:28.239 get natural sunlight on it. You've got that opportunity here, 0:03:28.480 --> 0:03:31.760 and I love that. I think it's great for the 0:03:31.800 --> 0:03:34.560 game of soccer. Now for the football games, obviously we 0:03:34.600 --> 0:03:37.000 have the artificial surface now, so that's taken care of, right, 0:03:37.280 --> 0:03:38.840 And I know fans like, but wait the sad when 0:03:38.880 --> 0:03:41.880 I have the roof open. I'm telling you right now. 0:03:42.640 --> 0:03:47.000 When I walked in the Bowl around eleven ish eleven 0:03:47.360 --> 0:03:50.160 fifteen thirty, it was well over one hundred degrees on 0:03:50.160 --> 0:03:53.160 that bowl. In the bowl. Oh sure, it was unbelievably hot. 0:03:53.480 --> 0:03:55.320 So I know there are a lot of people going, well, 0:03:55.360 --> 0:03:57.800 I went to that Pittsburgh game and it was, yeah, 0:03:57.880 --> 0:04:00.880 you keep that thing closed in in the fall. The 0:04:00.880 --> 0:04:03.880 thing is, once you get to once you get past 0:04:04.000 --> 0:04:06.440 daylight savings time, all of a sudden that sort of 0:04:06.560 --> 0:04:08.760 changes the angles of when the shadows coming in and 0:04:08.800 --> 0:04:11.160 all that kind of stuff. But it's really cool when 0:04:11.160 --> 0:04:12.960 the roof is open here. I mean, it's it's gotten 0:04:13.000 --> 0:04:15.920 a point where I I'll be honest, I didn't like 0:04:16.000 --> 0:04:18.680 it at first. I didn't like it at first, and 0:04:18.720 --> 0:04:20.320 I don't know why. I got used to the roof 0:04:20.360 --> 0:04:22.520 being closed and so it's something new, and so I 0:04:22.520 --> 0:04:24.400 didn't really like it at first. When I say it first, 0:04:24.440 --> 0:04:28.640 I mean twenty twenty, yeah, because that was you know, 0:04:28.720 --> 0:04:31.800 for the six years prior I had not seeing it open, 0:04:32.440 --> 0:04:34.520 so I didn't like it at first. And I remember 0:04:34.520 --> 0:04:36.000 going through that game and I think it was a 0:04:36.200 --> 0:04:38.440 Patriots for the first game, and of course the Texas 0:04:38.480 --> 0:04:40.039 played very well that game and end up winning and 0:04:40.040 --> 0:04:43.240 beating the Patriots, and I remember thinking, that's pretty cool. 0:04:43.600 --> 0:04:46.279 This is pretty cool. Now it's a it's a wreck 0:04:46.360 --> 0:04:48.960 when you go to watch the film afterwards, because you 0:04:49.080 --> 0:04:52.720 got where's the ball if the ball is going from 0:04:52.760 --> 0:04:57.560 sun to shadow? For getty, Iris is too open when 0:04:57.600 --> 0:05:00.360 it's in the darker part than it just black asks 0:05:00.400 --> 0:05:02.240 when it gets to the brighter part. But in the 0:05:02.400 --> 0:05:04.360 like you said it now, when that's when the sun 0:05:04.440 --> 0:05:06.440 is sitting right over the top of the thing, there's 0:05:06.440 --> 0:05:09.960 no shadows, but man it is. Yeah, it gets a 0:05:09.960 --> 0:05:11.880 little warm now. The only way you could do it 0:05:11.880 --> 0:05:14.600 for this soccer match would be to open it right 0:05:14.640 --> 0:05:17.479 before the kick. Yeah, at eight pm, I guess it 0:05:17.600 --> 0:05:21.680 is to three. You know the Astros do they still 0:05:21.720 --> 0:05:24.720 open the roof later at night around nine thirty ten. 0:05:24.760 --> 0:05:26.279 They used to do that a long time ago, but 0:05:26.360 --> 0:05:28.880 I haven't been to that. Many games lately haven't been 0:05:29.000 --> 0:05:32.520 made park, but they're able to do that anyway. That's 0:05:32.520 --> 0:05:35.799 gonna be fun Tomorrow night, Manchester City and Club America 0:05:36.040 --> 0:05:39.120 check it out as soccer at NRG. It's a beautiful thing. 0:05:39.560 --> 0:05:41.800 Also a beautiful thing is training camp opening a week 0:05:41.839 --> 0:05:44.719 from friday, as we will see guys around the building. 0:05:44.760 --> 0:05:47.760 We already are, but they'll start officially reporting over the 0:05:47.760 --> 0:05:50.400 weekend and through early next week. And veterans and Waves 0:05:50.400 --> 0:05:53.159 and quarterbacks and whatever, they'll all be here next week 0:05:53.320 --> 0:05:56.600 and practicing on Friday. And just to promote this now, 0:05:57.240 --> 0:06:00.240 a week from Friday, our training camp shows began eight 0:06:00.320 --> 0:06:03.000 to ten am right here on Sports Radio six ten 0:06:03.240 --> 0:06:06.200 and the Texans app and the Odyssey app. And Nick 0:06:06.279 --> 0:06:08.279 Kissio is going to join us live at the practice 0:06:08.320 --> 0:06:10.320 field to kick off training camp. How about that? Yeah, 0:06:10.360 --> 0:06:12.760 it's gonna be fun. Well, Nick on and he's gonna 0:06:12.760 --> 0:06:14.680 be on with Sean and Seth a few days later 0:06:14.800 --> 0:06:16.760 on the following Monday, but we'll have him on to 0:06:16.839 --> 0:06:19.240 kick off training camp and go over everything that's gonna 0:06:19.240 --> 0:06:22.400 be happening at camp and all the big stories and 0:06:22.680 --> 0:06:26.680 players to watch the whole bit. As I cannot wait, 0:06:26.760 --> 0:06:29.760 this is our time, fans, This is the fun part 0:06:29.920 --> 0:06:33.120 football starting up, back to football. We have back together Saturday, 0:06:33.120 --> 0:06:35.480 a week from Saturday, with the battle red helmet being 0:06:35.560 --> 0:06:39.280 unveiled at camp. That is gonna be awesome, bizarre seeing 0:06:39.360 --> 0:06:44.200 the red helmet at practice. That's why I love and 0:06:44.279 --> 0:06:47.240 I can't wait that. Of all people ask me a 0:06:47.240 --> 0:06:49.640 lot like what are you excited about training camp? And 0:06:49.760 --> 0:06:52.320 each one is the one. The one thing I always 0:06:52.360 --> 0:06:56.200 say is I love doing our training camp shows. I 0:06:56.240 --> 0:06:58.960 loved I love doing those shows because we have done 0:06:59.000 --> 0:07:02.120 them in Denver in closet, We've done them at the Greenbrier, 0:07:02.440 --> 0:07:05.320 We've done them here. We've actually done them in studio 0:07:05.320 --> 0:07:07.160 when there hasn't been a practice, We've done them out 0:07:07.200 --> 0:07:08.760 on the field. We've done them later in today, we've 0:07:08.760 --> 0:07:11.640 done them earlier in today. I love doing those training 0:07:11.640 --> 0:07:15.040 camp shows, just being in the thick of it. I 0:07:15.480 --> 0:07:19.240 love those shows. But the fact that we're we're back 0:07:19.280 --> 0:07:23.600 home here in Houston, the Fancies celebrate. But this year 0:07:23.640 --> 0:07:27.239 in particular, seeing the red helmet on these guys running 0:07:27.240 --> 0:07:31.440 around at practice is gonna be equal parts odd. It's 0:07:31.440 --> 0:07:35.360 a little strange, but a good and a good strange, 0:07:35.440 --> 0:07:37.440 like I think I'm gonna I really think I'm gonna 0:07:37.480 --> 0:07:39.920 like it. One of the football or one of the 0:07:39.920 --> 0:07:45.640 sports accounts on Twitter posted four alternate helmets and I 0:07:45.640 --> 0:07:48.080 can't remember what it was, begels, but it was the 0:07:48.080 --> 0:07:51.480 Beatles with the white helmets. They they haven't shown those yet. 0:07:51.720 --> 0:07:54.000 Well where have I seen it? But I don't know. 0:07:54.040 --> 0:07:55.640 If I've seen the helmet like they've put it, I 0:07:55.680 --> 0:07:57.600 don't know. But either way it was it was all red. 0:07:57.960 --> 0:08:03.240 It was the retro pat patriot pat pat patriot snapping one. 0:08:03.760 --> 0:08:06.800 It was the black sinks, which I don't care for. 0:08:07.240 --> 0:08:09.360 I don't like how they went about it. But then 0:08:09.400 --> 0:08:12.200 there's the black panther's helmet. Oh yeah, the black Panthers helmet, 0:08:12.200 --> 0:08:14.360 which that's kind of say, I know, that's kind of 0:08:14.480 --> 0:08:17.840 that's kind of sweet. Four. I still think. I mean, 0:08:17.880 --> 0:08:21.320 I'm biased, but I still would take the red. I 0:08:21.440 --> 0:08:24.200 love the red. I love the red regardless. I've always 0:08:24.240 --> 0:08:27.600 liked the chief's helmet. Yes I'm a Texan, but I've 0:08:27.640 --> 0:08:30.560 always loved that red white chief's helmet. I've always loved that. 0:08:30.640 --> 0:08:32.280 So seeing our guys wearing I think it's gonna be 0:08:32.320 --> 0:08:33.880 really cool. But of those four, I would take it, 0:08:33.920 --> 0:08:37.000 but that will say that black Panther's helmet. Hey forgive 0:08:37.040 --> 0:08:39.400 me for not knowing and having show prep meeting on 0:08:39.440 --> 0:08:41.280 the air, But the Titans going to go to some 0:08:41.320 --> 0:08:44.079 sort of oiler thing. Remember that there have been rumors 0:08:44.400 --> 0:08:47.679 it's been floating. The fiftieth of the AFL. The fiftieth 0:08:47.679 --> 0:08:51.680 anniversary of the AFL, they wore the very first oiler helmets. Yeah, 0:08:51.840 --> 0:08:55.000 and oiler uniforms, which are very similar to what they 0:08:55.080 --> 0:08:58.600 eventually evolved into, but they were different and they're not 0:08:58.679 --> 0:09:02.640 the typical of you blue or even Warren Moon era uniforms. 0:09:02.720 --> 0:09:04.400 And I'm wondering if the Titans are gonna do that. 0:09:04.679 --> 0:09:07.199 And please, you're not the oilers. I know it's the 0:09:07.280 --> 0:09:11.120 same franchise, Mark. Yeah, whatever you can, you can live 0:09:11.120 --> 0:09:15.560 in that logistical dream that you want to last. I 0:09:15.679 --> 0:09:18.360 looked in the seventies, eighties and nineties and the sixties, 0:09:18.600 --> 0:09:21.680 sixty seventies, eighties and nineties when I watched the oilers, 0:09:21.800 --> 0:09:24.280 they were here in this town. I saw my own eyes. 0:09:24.440 --> 0:09:28.920 It happened here the last time that they wore those 0:09:28.920 --> 0:09:31.640 oilers throwbacks. Do you remember what happened? They lost? It 0:09:31.720 --> 0:09:33.920 was vy on Christmas or something. I don't know. It 0:09:34.000 --> 0:09:35.800 might have been, but the one I remember was two 0:09:35.840 --> 0:09:39.400 thousand and nine and Tom Brady and the Patriots put 0:09:39.400 --> 0:09:42.560 a fifty burger on them, almost a sixty burger. They 0:09:42.920 --> 0:09:44.880 fifty nine up on them, so good and wear them 0:09:45.000 --> 0:09:47.280 very nice, good wear them. Maybe that was the game 0:09:47.320 --> 0:09:49.520 I'm thinking of. Was it Christmas? It might have been. 0:09:49.600 --> 0:09:51.359 It might have been, And I might have been celebrating 0:09:51.360 --> 0:09:54.480 that that very night because I root for the Titans 0:09:54.480 --> 0:09:58.880 to lose consistently. Yeah, that's how I roll. But I'm 0:09:58.880 --> 0:10:01.840 looking forward to all this battle red helmet training camp 0:10:01.920 --> 0:10:04.000 one week from Saturday, and then you have the one 0:10:04.000 --> 0:10:06.520 week from Friday, start to it all. Johnny. This came 0:10:06.600 --> 0:10:09.680 up in the conversation as I'm about to go off 0:10:09.720 --> 0:10:12.840 on this. I don't believe it. The NFL Throwback Account, 0:10:12.960 --> 0:10:16.000 I love this. Actually they do throwback games. I also 0:10:16.040 --> 0:10:20.200 love the Old Time Football account because they'll run chunks 0:10:20.240 --> 0:10:23.040 of older games from the eighties and nineties and it's 0:10:23.040 --> 0:10:25.559 just fun to watch. Sometimes the seventies, they had a 0:10:25.600 --> 0:10:30.200 Pastorini performance on there from pre Earl Campbell era when 0:10:30.240 --> 0:10:33.480 he beat the Steelers, and I texted it to him. 0:10:33.520 --> 0:10:35.000 I sent him to link and he said, yeah, that 0:10:35.040 --> 0:10:36.640 was one of our four wins that year, but that 0:10:36.720 --> 0:10:40.040 was a good one that I love that stuff. But anyway, 0:10:40.240 --> 0:10:44.640 they tweeted out the choose your two thousands all star offense, 0:10:45.200 --> 0:10:48.360 and you get to choose two wide receivers from a 0:10:48.400 --> 0:10:51.800 group of ten. This is the two thousands. Ladies and gentlemen. 0:10:52.000 --> 0:10:54.320 We all know who played in the two thousands for 0:10:54.559 --> 0:10:58.480 your beloved franchise here and he's not in this. I'll 0:10:58.520 --> 0:11:01.160 give you the receivers you will. Did me to this yesterday, 0:11:01.679 --> 0:11:08.000 Randy Moss, Tarall Owens, Reggie Wayne, Isaac Bruce, Larry Fitzgerald, 0:11:08.360 --> 0:11:13.600 Hines Ward, Steve Smith Senior as opposed to junior Steve Smith, 0:11:13.600 --> 0:11:15.679 the only wide receiver you know named Steve Smith. Who 0:11:16.160 --> 0:11:21.240 counts Chad Johnson, Marvin Harrison, Tory Holt the two thousand's 0:11:21.360 --> 0:11:25.960 top ten wide receivers according to them, Ha, you do 0:11:26.080 --> 0:11:29.200 not have Andre Johnson in here, and that's ridiculous. You 0:11:29.240 --> 0:11:32.600 need him in here, which begs the next logical question, 0:11:32.760 --> 0:11:35.079 who are you bumping out? Mark? I know exactly who 0:11:35.080 --> 0:11:38.319 I'm bumping out. You go first, Hines Ward. I love Haines. 0:11:38.360 --> 0:11:40.160 Everything about Hines is great. I love the way he 0:11:40.160 --> 0:11:42.240 played the game. Some thought he did some things dirty. 0:11:42.440 --> 0:11:44.480 I thought he did a lot of little thing and 0:11:44.559 --> 0:11:48.040 there maybe some questionable hits at the whistle whatever. Hines 0:11:48.360 --> 0:11:50.360 Hines is a baller, and I remember seeing him in 0:11:50.480 --> 0:11:55.960 college when George's quarterbacks are all dead for the year 0:11:56.600 --> 0:11:59.480 and he goes in and he's busted up, but he 0:11:59.480 --> 0:12:02.760 plays back, oh yeah, and did a great job. I've 0:12:02.800 --> 0:12:06.319 always been a hines Ward guy. But there is no way, 0:12:07.240 --> 0:12:10.080 no way that you tell me that he would be 0:12:10.120 --> 0:12:13.160 on that list before Andre Johnson. Not even I think 0:12:13.280 --> 0:12:16.120 hines Ward would tell you not on Andre Johnson. If 0:12:16.120 --> 0:12:20.160 you're at GM drafting receivers and you're asked to give 0:12:20.200 --> 0:12:23.120 a top ten from the two thousands, yeah, Andre Johnson's 0:12:23.120 --> 0:12:25.640 going ahead of hines Ward. Absolutely, I'll tell you this. 0:12:25.760 --> 0:12:28.280 He's also going ahead of Reggie Wayne. And he's also 0:12:28.320 --> 0:12:30.760 going ahead of Marvin Harrison. I think, yes, here's a 0:12:30.760 --> 0:12:33.360 hot take for you. Marvin Harrison's not going to the 0:12:33.360 --> 0:12:35.960 Hall of Fame without Peyton Manning. Of course, I agree. 0:12:36.040 --> 0:12:38.440 Now if you put him with another great quarterback, maybe, 0:12:38.760 --> 0:12:41.640 but you put Marvin Harrison and look, not to take 0:12:41.679 --> 0:12:43.960 anything away from his performance. But I guess I'm about 0:12:43.960 --> 0:12:47.080 to You put Marvin Harrison with the Houston Texans in 0:12:47.120 --> 0:12:50.440 the two thousands, and you know he's a nice receiver, Yeah, 0:12:51.000 --> 0:12:54.679 he's not who he became. There, you put Andrey Johnson 0:12:54.720 --> 0:12:58.000 on that team, and we're talking about Randy Moss type 0:12:58.040 --> 0:13:02.800 image status. If you put Andrey Johnson on the two 0:13:02.840 --> 0:13:06.480 thousands Indianapolis Colts with Peyton mannings sling, are you sure 0:13:06.480 --> 0:13:08.080 you want that image in your head? No, I really 0:13:08.120 --> 0:13:09.880 don't want that image in my head because that's just 0:13:10.120 --> 0:13:12.920 horrible for the Houston Texans. But I'm just doing it 0:13:12.960 --> 0:13:17.839 to support Andrey Johnson here. So those names again, yeah, 0:13:18.280 --> 0:13:20.560 Randy Moss, like I don't have I don't have an issue. 0:13:20.679 --> 0:13:23.880 Larry Fitzgerald don't have an Those guys are those guys 0:13:23.920 --> 0:13:27.280 are are incredible. But there was those Listen, there was 0:13:27.280 --> 0:13:30.960 a time. Listen. I'm saying listen to you. There, I'm saying, 0:13:30.960 --> 0:13:33.880 listen to the fans. Yeah, there was a time when 0:13:34.000 --> 0:13:36.560 I would say Andre Johnson and Larry Fitzgerald were pretty 0:13:36.600 --> 0:13:40.000 even here. Yeah, but Larry just lasted so long and 0:13:40.080 --> 0:13:42.840 in the postseason shined when they went to the Super Bowl, 0:13:43.360 --> 0:13:47.200 and I just think the off field status of Larry 0:13:47.280 --> 0:13:50.720 Johnson and doing all the commercials for University of Phoenix. 0:13:50.760 --> 0:13:52.600 I don't know what I'm thinking of here. I guess 0:13:53.280 --> 0:13:56.160 Larry Fitzgerald I said, doesn't say Johnson anyway, Larry Fitzgerald 0:13:56.320 --> 0:13:59.600 able to continue the career, you know. But it's not 0:13:59.640 --> 0:14:01.960 like I'm Ray Johnson cut his career short. It's just 0:14:01.960 --> 0:14:05.320 that Larry Fitzgerald is freakish in the longevity department. When 0:14:05.360 --> 0:14:08.200 I when I say Larry Fitzgerald's a no brainer, I'm implying, 0:14:08.920 --> 0:14:12.040 and I'll say it now. I'm blind, Larry, that Andrea 0:14:12.080 --> 0:14:14.880 should be a no brainer too. Absolutely, if you put 0:14:14.880 --> 0:14:17.440 five guys, you should put Andrea in that mix. Look, 0:14:17.480 --> 0:14:19.440 Tory Holt, I can't remember who I got in this 0:14:19.520 --> 0:14:21.640 argument with. It really was an argument. We were talking 0:14:21.680 --> 0:14:25.360 about Tory Holt, and I can't remember who was Tory 0:14:25.400 --> 0:14:27.840 Holt were compared Tory Holt somebody else, And I'm like, 0:14:27.920 --> 0:14:30.880 I I'm telling you, I'll take dre over any of them. 0:14:31.000 --> 0:14:35.680 Isaac Bruce, go through those ways, go through those quarterbacks again. Yea, 0:14:36.320 --> 0:14:40.560 these guys, Randy Moss, Terrell Owens, Larry Fitzgerald, Okay, Yeah, 0:14:40.560 --> 0:14:42.240 I mean, he had a litany of guys thrown to him, 0:14:42.280 --> 0:14:43.600 but he had Kurt Warner at the end of his 0:14:43.680 --> 0:14:47.400 career that helped well well, Tory Holt career that was 0:14:47.440 --> 0:14:49.560 a while ago. Actually, Tory Holt Isaac Bruth both had 0:14:49.600 --> 0:14:52.640 Kurt Warren, Carson Palmer number one overall pick who came 0:14:52.680 --> 0:14:56.360 in and resurrected things in Arizona. Goes on there in 0:14:56.360 --> 0:14:59.040 front of Andre. That drives me insane. Yeah, I know 0:14:59.240 --> 0:15:02.280 he was really good, but this is an image thing 0:15:02.360 --> 0:15:05.080 right here. I would put Andrea ahead of Chad Johnson 0:15:05.080 --> 0:15:07.680 as a receiver. I don't think anybody's gonna draft Chad 0:15:07.760 --> 0:15:10.400 Johnson ahead of Andre Johnson, knowing what they could do 0:15:10.520 --> 0:15:14.400 for their offense. I'll even say Steve Smith Johnny. I mean, 0:15:14.440 --> 0:15:17.000 I like Steve Smith. I'm not saying these guys are terrible. 0:15:17.280 --> 0:15:20.000 I'm just saying Andre Johnson's better. Yes, Is that too 0:15:20.080 --> 0:15:22.080 much of a hot Texans take there to say Andre 0:15:22.200 --> 0:15:24.240 Johnson over Steve Smith. I don't think so. I was 0:15:24.240 --> 0:15:28.440 always a Steve Smith fan. I think he's unabashedly honest, 0:15:29.200 --> 0:15:32.200 played with his guy. He plays guts out every time 0:15:32.200 --> 0:15:34.160 he walked in the field. I would take Steve Smith 0:15:34.240 --> 0:15:37.840 Senior over Hinz Award, over Tory Holt over Isaac Bruce, 0:15:38.320 --> 0:15:40.400 all those guys that produced the greatest show on I 0:15:40.440 --> 0:15:43.080 don't want to take away from their production because they 0:15:43.080 --> 0:15:45.880 were tremendous. This is but this is like the This 0:15:45.920 --> 0:15:48.400 is the top of that group and the decade. And 0:15:48.440 --> 0:15:50.640 by the way, this is receivers from the two thousands 0:15:50.720 --> 0:15:52.240 for those wondering, you know, where are some of the 0:15:52.280 --> 0:15:54.600 guys who have played in the teams and now this 0:15:54.720 --> 0:15:57.640 is from the two thousands on the NFL throwback account. 0:15:57.680 --> 0:16:00.360 And we're complaining about it because we like to complain 0:16:00.400 --> 0:16:02.560 about things on sports talk radio. That's just part of 0:16:02.560 --> 0:16:06.760 the plan here, right, Uh, any other complaints here? How 0:16:06.800 --> 0:16:12.600 about these quarterbacks Peyton, Manning, five, Brady and if you're wondering, 0:16:12.680 --> 0:16:15.920 Rogers didn't start playing until two thousand and eight. Yeah 0:16:16.160 --> 0:16:18.680 he's so he doesn't really count in the two thousands. 0:16:19.040 --> 0:16:24.600 So Brady, Farve, Peyton Manning, Drew Brees who really didn't 0:16:24.600 --> 0:16:29.080 start slinging it well for New Orleans to one six six, Okay, 0:16:29.120 --> 0:16:31.000 I mean he made the Pro Bowl, oh four oh six. 0:16:31.080 --> 0:16:32.920 They went to the NFC Championship Game, so it had 0:16:32.920 --> 0:16:34.840 a strong second half of the decade. Yeah, I mean 0:16:34.840 --> 0:16:37.760 he went and they won at No. Nine. Here's the 0:16:37.800 --> 0:16:40.480 one guy I would put on there. Here, here's the 0:16:40.560 --> 0:16:43.400 here's the prows by the way, Kurt Warner. Yeah, yeah, 0:16:43.480 --> 0:16:45.120 Kurt Warner should be on there. Yeah, because he went 0:16:45.120 --> 0:16:47.280 to I mean obviously did what he did with the Rams, 0:16:47.320 --> 0:16:49.520 and the Super Bowl for the Cardinals was in OH 0:16:49.640 --> 0:16:53.960 nine Super Bowl, the Cardinals wash eight oh eight. Okay, 0:16:54.440 --> 0:16:56.800 oh nine played at O nine oh eight season. There's 0:16:56.800 --> 0:17:00.560 a couple of guys you could argue, okay, but hisstically 0:17:00.920 --> 0:17:05.320 it's not statistically you'll get a you'll get a fight, 0:17:05.640 --> 0:17:08.680 because I don't think statistically through the two thousands that 0:17:08.720 --> 0:17:13.480 these two guys were at that particular level. But game 0:17:13.520 --> 0:17:15.760 on the line or I got one game to win, 0:17:16.880 --> 0:17:18.440 I don't think I had a problem handing the ball 0:17:18.480 --> 0:17:21.399 to Ben Roethlisberger the second half of the decade or 0:17:22.600 --> 0:17:26.680 Steve McNair, I agree McNair was MVP during that time. 0:17:26.920 --> 0:17:29.440 One of those years Steve McNair was awesome and the 0:17:29.520 --> 0:17:34.399 Super Bowl, well that was he was really good. But 0:17:34.440 --> 0:17:37.440 they started to dip as a team in OH four. 0:17:38.520 --> 0:17:41.000 He ends up with Baltimore. They do pretty well with him, 0:17:41.040 --> 0:17:43.280 didn't They win the MVP at one point though, in 0:17:43.400 --> 0:17:46.320 that co MVP with Peyton Manning and three three, okay, 0:17:46.760 --> 0:17:49.359 so you gotta give him credit for that. And who's 0:17:49.400 --> 0:17:52.239 the other one you just said? Roethlisberger. Roethlisberger who went 0:17:52.280 --> 0:17:55.280 to two Super Bowls during that period? Three oh he 0:17:55.359 --> 0:17:57.679 went to three. He went to three, and he took 0:17:57.720 --> 0:17:59.800 it back. I'm sorry. His third one was twenty ten. 0:18:00.000 --> 0:18:02.640 It's two thousand ten season, so okay, so that doesn't count. 0:18:02.680 --> 0:18:04.880 I guess it's the count, all right, but I don't 0:18:04.880 --> 0:18:09.040 get right. But either way, he's a rookie and oh five, right, 0:18:09.440 --> 0:18:12.280 and they go to four oh four. He's a rookie 0:18:12.320 --> 0:18:15.200 to go five oh five, they win the Super Bowl 0:18:15.440 --> 0:18:19.840 eight win again? Wow? And then ten ten he goes 0:18:20.200 --> 0:18:22.280 to the Super Bowl in the second half of that. 0:18:22.359 --> 0:18:25.840 How you bump it out? I know, Farve Manning, Warner, 0:18:26.080 --> 0:18:30.000 Brady Breeze. These are quarterbacks of the two thousands, the os. 0:18:30.400 --> 0:18:32.040 They called him the outs, but I'd like to say 0:18:32.040 --> 0:18:36.640 the os. I don't Breeze wanted in oh nine, went 0:18:36.640 --> 0:18:40.000 to an NFC championship game at OZH six. It's it's 0:18:40.080 --> 0:18:44.320 hard to make a case for Roethlisberger and or McNair 0:18:44.440 --> 0:18:49.119 over those guys. McNair does have the MVP. Why are 0:18:49.119 --> 0:18:53.040 we saying Farv though in the OH I don't, far 0:18:53.240 --> 0:18:56.159 to me feels very nineties. He is very he is nineties. 0:18:56.160 --> 0:18:58.400 That's a good point because Farves last year with Green 0:18:58.480 --> 0:19:02.119 Bay now Farves oh nine year with the Vikings was outstanding. 0:19:02.160 --> 0:19:04.440 Of course, he blew it in a championship game. Yeah, 0:19:04.480 --> 0:19:09.480 but five six and seven he's still outstanding. He loses 0:19:09.520 --> 0:19:11.720 the NFC Championship game to the Giants and oh seven 0:19:11.800 --> 0:19:14.360 at home, at home in the cold, but he makes 0:19:14.400 --> 0:19:16.080 it there. But that was his best year in like 0:19:16.240 --> 0:19:18.719 three or four years. You know what far Of is 0:19:18.720 --> 0:19:23.840 in the o's he's kind of Aaron Rodgers in the teens. 0:19:23.880 --> 0:19:26.000 I mean, well, not the teams, but since the Super 0:19:26.040 --> 0:19:29.080 Bowl win, you know what I mean. NFC championship games 0:19:29.280 --> 0:19:33.960 doesn't get over the hump. Still so respected. But Farve 0:19:34.040 --> 0:19:37.600 had that six interception playoff game, and I want to say, 0:19:37.600 --> 0:19:39.800 oh one, he was the Rams against the Rams and 0:19:39.800 --> 0:19:42.720 it's it's just it's awful. I mean, it's look away. 0:19:42.800 --> 0:19:45.679 I think far in the nineties, five two, super Bowl appearances, 0:19:45.720 --> 0:19:49.359 wins won great. I'm gonna be the guy to go. 0:19:49.440 --> 0:19:51.400 I'm gonna bump him off this Listen, I'm gonna put 0:19:51.480 --> 0:19:55.359 Roethlisberger in there. Come on, Okay, three super Bowls? Yeah, 0:19:55.520 --> 0:19:57.880 I think that's that's definitely way to go. What about 0:19:57.960 --> 0:20:00.760 running backs? All right? So running back of the Os 0:20:00.840 --> 0:20:04.280 the Aughts, Ladanian, Tomlinson. These are the top five recordings 0:20:04.359 --> 0:20:10.480 NFL throwback Ladanian, Tomlinson, Edgar and James Marshall, falk Sean Alexander, 0:20:11.480 --> 0:20:17.120 Adrian Peterson's Adrian Peterson just retired last Tuesday. By the way, Well, 0:20:17.400 --> 0:20:19.800 with Adrian, it's hard because it was really just it 0:20:19.840 --> 0:20:22.080 was the second half of even the second half. He's 0:20:22.119 --> 0:20:25.200 drafted No. Seven, so it's only four years now. Those 0:20:25.200 --> 0:20:28.280 four years are unbelievable. But if we're gonna compare for 0:20:28.320 --> 0:20:31.640 four years, I'm gonna give you a complete wild card. Okay, 0:20:32.040 --> 0:20:35.320 Priest Holmes, you know, it's interesting that he doesn't end 0:20:35.400 --> 0:20:37.119 up on this list. I think he never got the 0:20:37.200 --> 0:20:39.439 respect because he was playing against one of the greatest 0:20:39.440 --> 0:20:41.760 offensive lines you can imagine from one blocking. I mean, 0:20:41.840 --> 0:20:45.359 those guys were Matt Trucks and look, I can I 0:20:45.400 --> 0:20:48.520 always say this, it's hard for It's hard for me 0:20:48.560 --> 0:20:52.200 to evaluate offensive line play just being honest. Here are 0:20:52.200 --> 0:20:54.439
