27
00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:13,600
Speaker 4: Very cool to see. I kind of had a feeling

28
00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:16,840
Speaker 4: you and I talked about this yesterday at some point

29
00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:19,200
Speaker 4: ten o'clock it's gonna be a madhouse.

30
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:20,160
Speaker 3: Madhouse.

31
00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:24,200
Speaker 4: So I got down there about eleven or five ish things,

32
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:27,040
Speaker 4: About eleven oh five ish. I got down there and

33
00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:30,360
Speaker 4: it was clear line outside the door. I don't really

34
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:32,399
Speaker 4: want to go stand in line. I wait for things

35
00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:35,560
Speaker 4: to calm down a little bit. But it's incredible just

36
00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:37,640
Speaker 4: to see it. I mean, we've seen these before. We

37
00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:40,360
Speaker 4: got a glimpse of them, but to see they're like

38
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:42,360
Speaker 4: where we are, We're in the corners. You walk in,

39
00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:44,560
Speaker 4: We're over to the right corners. You want to say

40
00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:46,679
Speaker 4: hi when you come in. Come in, and then you

41
00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:49,240
Speaker 4: go see everything else. But they're pictures all around their

42
00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:53,920
Speaker 4: videos and the one near us is the h Town Alternate,

43
00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:58,040
Speaker 4: the Color Rush and those. When we met with the

44
00:01:58,080 --> 00:01:59,800
Speaker 4: guys back I don't know what that was a couple

45
00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:03,200
Speaker 4: of weeks when they were doing all the photo shoots and everything. Yeah,

46
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:05,560
Speaker 4: they were wearing those at the time that we were

47
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:07,320
Speaker 4: up there, and every single.

48
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:10,720
Speaker 3: Guy was like these, Oh yeah, these are fire. These

49
00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:12,639
Speaker 3: are the ones we like, we like the most the most.

50
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:13,359
Speaker 5: Those rock.

51
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:17,040
Speaker 2: I think the battle Red is really taking over in

52
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:21,320
Speaker 2: many ways. Yep, the candy paint job on the helmets.

53
00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:25,040
Speaker 2: People love that the red is a brighter red. It's

54
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:29,080
Speaker 2: a very bright red. And reading the comments is funny because.

55
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:29,600
Speaker 3: This is art.

56
00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:31,120
Speaker 1: Okay, literally is art.

57
00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:34,679
Speaker 2: So you're gonna have a lot of subjectivity here. Some people, Hey,

58
00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:37,480
Speaker 2: I like this, SORR, I don't like that or whatever.

59
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:42,119
Speaker 2: But I think Doug Vasik, who's the senior VP of marketing,

60
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:45,560
Speaker 2: nailed it when he said there's something for everybody. Greg Grisslam,

61
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:47,680
Speaker 2: the President of the Texans, is going to join us.

Speaker 6: And today's just a special day for the city of

85
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:45,240
Speaker 6: Houston and all our fans.

86
00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:47,960
Speaker 4: Greg, I know you'd seen them and you've gone through

87
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:49,640
Speaker 4: the process. You knew what you were going to look like.

88
00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:51,040
Speaker 4: You knew what you looked like on the players. You

89
00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:53,560
Speaker 4: saw him on the players. Was there an intrepidation this

90
00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:56,240
Speaker 4: morning about Okay, what are the fans gonna think when

91
00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:57,840
Speaker 4: they see we? Was there any kind of thought of

92
00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:00,320
Speaker 4: that or was it just look, we filed the process,

93
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:02,400
Speaker 4: the process we came to we like them, and we

94
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:03,920
Speaker 4: think you guys like them too. How'd you kind of

95
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:05,920
Speaker 4: feel as ten o'clock rolled around.

96
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:07,680
Speaker 6: Well, I'd go back to all the work that had

97
00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:10,560
Speaker 6: been done by our team, our entire organization, all of

98
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:14,680
Speaker 6: our creative folks, and we had a pretty good sense

99
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:17,200
Speaker 6: that we we had listened from our fans and what

100
00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:19,320
Speaker 6: they had told us, and then you know, there were

101
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:21,200
Speaker 6: a few leaks out there maybe, and so we got

102
00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:22,800
Speaker 6: a little bit, we got a little we got a

103
00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:25,200
Speaker 6: little bit of on that. But and we also knew

104
00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:27,640
Speaker 6: we had some really really cool stuff to share today.

105
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:30,440
Speaker 6: And so I think I was more excited than anxious

106
00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:33,640
Speaker 6: or nervous. You know, I sometimes get nervous around some

107
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:35,960
Speaker 6: of these things. And I slept really really well last night,

108
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:38,360
Speaker 6: and I think the days only confirmed that it's been

109
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:38,920
Speaker 6: a great day.

110
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:39,480
Speaker 5: Yeah.

111
00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:42,480
Speaker 1: I think I was just saying, Greg, the h Town.

112
00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:45,880
Speaker 2: Blew the color rush. We all knew that that was

113
00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:47,200
Speaker 2: going to have a positive reaction.

114
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:48,040
Speaker 1: It's awesome.

115
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:51,000
Speaker 2: The battle Red is really if I had to take

116
00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:52,760
Speaker 2: a poll, I don't know which is in the lead

117
00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:54,799
Speaker 2: right now, but the battle Red is really on fire

118
00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:55,200
Speaker 2: with the.

119
00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:57,520
Speaker 6: Fans well, And that was the thing that we knew

120
00:04:57,600 --> 00:04:59,840
Speaker 6: that for the most part, most people hadn't seen it right,

121
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:02,440
Speaker 6: hadn't seen that helmet, and they didn't know quite what

122
00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:04,040
Speaker 6: was gonna be there. And they're all red and the

123
00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:08,960
Speaker 6: more vibrant color, and you know, I think there's something

124
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:10,919
Speaker 6: for everybody. Mark So maybe your own bottle red some

125
00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:12,719
Speaker 6: people on as Town. I'm seeing a lot of love

126
00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:14,600
Speaker 6: for the white uniforms. I'm seeing a lot of love

127
00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:17,039
Speaker 6: for our normal blues. So that's kind of what we thought,

128
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:19,120
Speaker 6: is that there might be a little something for everybody,

129
00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:22,600
Speaker 6: but that that red's pretty fire. And I know, I

130
00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:24,320
Speaker 6: know my son's that's what he's on.

131
00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:27,080
Speaker 4: Oh okay, Yeah, I just got the thumbs up from

132
00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:31,039
Speaker 4: Los Angeles from my daughter. The red is her fet

133
00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:34,160
Speaker 4: She absolutely loves her. Read my wife says the same thing.

134
00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:37,279
Speaker 4: They both love the red. I want to get to

135
00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:39,680
Speaker 4: a letter of the alphabet because it feels like no

136
00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:42,640
Speaker 4: letter has ever made more noise in the city of

137
00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:45,160
Speaker 4: Houston than the H. And what the age is gonna

138
00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:47,360
Speaker 4: look like? And I remember as we're going through that

139
00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:50,200
Speaker 4: process and we're thinking, what is this H gonna look like?

140
00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:51,919
Speaker 4: And when I saw it for the first time, I

141
00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:55,040
Speaker 4: went they nailed it. They nailed it. I think that's

142
00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:57,200
Speaker 4: the most beautiful thing, the most beautiful age, and there's

143
00:05:57,240 --> 00:05:59,440
Speaker 4: so many different things about it. As Doug pointed out

144
00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:02,080
Speaker 4: in a video, how did we get to this age?

145
00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:03,240
Speaker 3: And how happy are you with it?

146
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:05,400
Speaker 6: Well, I think as Doug, as you referenced Doug in

147
00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:07,080
Speaker 6: the video that we released, and kind of goes the

148
00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:10,160
Speaker 6: whole story behind all the uniforms, but particularly the age

149
00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:13,200
Speaker 6: as well. You know, we had a very simple and

150
00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:16,039
Speaker 6: traditional and we had been kind of testing that in

151
00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:18,120
Speaker 6: some of the merchandise over the or some version of

152
00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:20,120
Speaker 6: that over the last couple of years. And then you

153
00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:22,520
Speaker 6: had this black letter version, which is kind of the

154
00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:26,640
Speaker 6: you know, thee seemed like some of the hip hop

155
00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:29,520
Speaker 6: albums and Rice and other things, and it's interesting and

156
00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:32,159
Speaker 6: I probably would call myself a little bit more of

157
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:35,800
Speaker 6: a traditionalist. And but when we tested it from all

158
00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:37,560
Speaker 6: different walks of life, and I had a chance to

159
00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:39,640
Speaker 6: be in the room where people were saying, okay, we

160
00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:41,800
Speaker 6: kind of were giving them a comparison of a more

161
00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:45,479
Speaker 6: streamlined version or the version that we ultimately ended up with,

162
00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:50,760
Speaker 6: and it was unanimous, all different walks of life, young, old,

163
00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:54,320
Speaker 6: you know, different cultures. Everything that said, that's what we

164
00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:56,839
Speaker 6: want to represent us and represent the city of Houston.

165
00:06:57,160 --> 00:06:59,440
Speaker 6: And then just they are all little touches. I'm personally

166
00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:02,239
Speaker 6: most fond of having the stars to the right of it,

167
00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:05,360
Speaker 6: just because it connects our primary logo and that logo together,

168
00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:06,400
Speaker 6: so there's some continuity.

169
00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:06,880
Speaker 3: Greg.

170
00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:09,480
Speaker 2: We did happen to notice that there was some activity

171
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:11,000
Speaker 2: at the Texans team shop today.

172
00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:15,600
Speaker 1: We say it was massive, the turnout there.

173
00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:17,840
Speaker 2: What can you share with us about that, well, I

174
00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:20,840
Speaker 2: mean it was it was I could share that it

175
00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:21,280
Speaker 2: was massive.

176
00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:23,800
Speaker 6: There was a lot of folks there the merchandise. I

177
00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:27,040
Speaker 6: think people were really enjoying all the options they had available.

178
00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:29,880
Speaker 6: I know also on our online shop that was very active.

179
00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:32,280
Speaker 6: You know, I don't want to get too far ahead

180
00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:34,320
Speaker 6: of myselves, but we are We like to compete, right,

181
00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:35,280
Speaker 6: We're an NFL team.

182
00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:35,920
Speaker 7: We like to win.

183
00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:39,000
Speaker 6: And we'll see what the final numbers are, but they're

184
00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:41,160
Speaker 6: they're I think out of the uniforms that have been

185
00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:43,160
Speaker 6: released in the last couple of weeks, our first day

186
00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:46,240
Speaker 6: merchandise sales both at the store and online, we have

187
00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:48,880
Speaker 6: a chance to be the number one. Uh I think

188
00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:51,320
Speaker 6: we will be, but we'll we'll let that be confirmed.

189
00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:54,920
Speaker 6: But of total sales of the new uniform, which just

190
00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:57,760
Speaker 6: again speaks to the excitement and the energy around it.

191
00:07:57,800 --> 00:07:58,040
Speaker 3: Greg.

192
00:07:58,040 --> 00:07:59,840
Speaker 4: One of the moments in the video that that kind

193
00:07:59,840 --> 00:08:01,520
Speaker 4: of struck me and I want to get your thoughts

194
00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:04,080
Speaker 4: about because I thought I saw you. There was the

195
00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:07,280
Speaker 4: trip to Beaverton to Nike YEP, Yep, what was that trip?

196
00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:07,560
Speaker 5: Like?

197
00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:09,680
Speaker 4: I mean, first of all, just going to the Nike campus,

198
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:13,840
Speaker 4: which seems enormous in this incredible campus, but then just

199
00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:14,960
Speaker 4: to see them.

200
00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:19,240
Speaker 6: For the first time, it was it was inspiring, I

201
00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:21,560
Speaker 6: think is the word I would use, And just it

202
00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:24,600
Speaker 6: was something that I'll probably never forget in my career.

203
00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:27,480
Speaker 6: But just again having the mcnaire's and all the hard

204
00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:29,640
Speaker 6: work that Kylan Hannah had done to kind of push

205
00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:34,280
Speaker 6: the organization forward, push us forward, and to really be

206
00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:36,680
Speaker 6: there and see them see the uniforms for the first

207
00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:40,400
Speaker 6: time was probably the most special. But again, myself, Doug

208
00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:42,000
Speaker 6: and a few of our folks from our creative team

209
00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:45,280
Speaker 6: that had really done a tremendous amount of work. You know,

210
00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:47,200
Speaker 6: it's just one of those things when they when they

211
00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:49,280
Speaker 6: kind of pull them away and you you know what

212
00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:50,920
Speaker 6: you think is going to be there because we've seen

213
00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:53,959
Speaker 6: them on all all different types of graphics and things

214
00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:57,480
Speaker 6: like that, but to see them live, it was a

215
00:08:57,480 --> 00:08:59,040
Speaker 6: great day, something I'll never forget.

216
00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:02,160
Speaker 2: Texan's president Greg Wristlom with us a couple more for you, Greg.

217
00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:02,320
Speaker 5: All.

218
00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:05,440
Speaker 2: Right after this, the week really slows down with a

219
00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:10,000
Speaker 2: little event called the NFL Draft, Uh draft party Friday night.

220
00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:13,320
Speaker 2: This is gonna be huge as well. I mean, this

221
00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:16,200
Speaker 2: this week is off the chain. There are also other

222
00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:19,160
Speaker 2: things going on involving partners and things right the general

223
00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:20,320
Speaker 2: public might not know about.

224
00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:22,320
Speaker 1: But I know it's a busy week. It's a busy week.

225
00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:25,360
Speaker 6: But you know, we and I've loved announcing, you know,

226
00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:28,000
Speaker 6: and launching these uniforms and all that the energy that

227
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:30,439
Speaker 6: that's created. But you know, I'm excited to get back

228
00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:32,560
Speaker 6: to the draft and get back to some Johnny Harris

229
00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:36,080
Speaker 6: football and and and you know see who new Texans

230
00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:38,559
Speaker 6: are gonna be and and you know, I know, you know,

231
00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:41,560
Speaker 6: the off season programs have started and so just you know,

232
00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:45,720
Speaker 6: really getting back and I think coach Demico and Cal

233
00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:48,599
Speaker 6: and Nick, hey, we're starting over right, We're We're we

234
00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:51,120
Speaker 6: got to go earn it again. And that process has

235
00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:53,960
Speaker 6: started with the off season and then the guys back

236
00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:56,440
Speaker 6: in the building and the drafts another step. And to

237
00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:58,200
Speaker 6: be there with all of our fans Friday night for

238
00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:00,640
Speaker 6: our second third round picks at the Avanita will be great.

239
00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:03,559
Speaker 6: And then really just get back to playing football and

240
00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:05,800
Speaker 6: seeing how many w's we can put on the board.

241
00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:10,000
Speaker 2: Am I right to presume that it'll be Liberty White

242
00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:11,679
Speaker 2: at the Hall of Fame game.

243
00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:14,120
Speaker 1: Is that the first UNI we're gonna see the team?

244
00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:16,680
Speaker 6: You know, I think it's to be determined, Okay, you know,

245
00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:19,600
Speaker 6: I don't. You know, it's an interesting question.

246
00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:21,640
Speaker 1: The neutral site, the neutral.

247
00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:23,640
Speaker 6: Site, So we haven't gotten that far down the roadbot

248
00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:26,319
Speaker 6: So we'll see kind of where we go in the preseason,

249
00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:29,400
Speaker 6: and then honestly with the schedule release, which is generally

250
00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:32,880
Speaker 6: sometime in the second week in May, call it the

251
00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:37,320
Speaker 6: second Thursday, May ninth ish. You know, that's not official

252
00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:39,680
Speaker 6: by any means, but and I think from there, you know,

253
00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:41,360
Speaker 6: we look at the theme dates and start kind of

254
00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:44,520
Speaker 6: looking at uniform combinations for the opponents and seeing how

255
00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:45,280
Speaker 6: all this comes to.

256
00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:47,280
Speaker 3: Life for real. That is going to be a blast.

257
00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:48,600
Speaker 3: Gregor want to ask you a last thing.

258
00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:51,840
Speaker 4: Last year, one year ago, at this time, we're obviously

259
00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:53,679
Speaker 4: thinking about that draft.

260
00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:54,439
Speaker 3: It's funny.

261
00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:56,199
Speaker 4: I've reached it for a jacket tonight what I was

262
00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:58,120
Speaker 4: gonna wear, And I pulled out a jacket. I was like, man,

263
00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:00,440
Speaker 4: I can feel something in the pocket. I reached in

264
00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:03,080
Speaker 4: and pulled out and I had my twenty twenty three

265
00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:06,640
Speaker 4: draft party pass oh, nice in my pocket and I

266
00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:07,319
Speaker 4: was like, I'm.

267
00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:08,960
Speaker 3: Hanging on it out. That was great. It's a good one.

268
00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:10,679
Speaker 3: Glad that you didn't give it to the Drake Leaner.

269
00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:11,080
Speaker 5: No.

270
00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:14,839
Speaker 4: No, we're coming off three thirteen and one change coaches again,

271
00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:18,160
Speaker 4: it's we're still not quite there.

272
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:19,880
Speaker 3: But we could see some of the seedlings.

273
00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:22,439
Speaker 4: Then we have this draft and it turns a year

274
00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:25,120
Speaker 4: later into all of this. I don't even know what

275
00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:27,680
Speaker 4: really to ask, other than you see kind of a

276
00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:31,439
Speaker 4: turnaround happening this fast, and where can this all go?

277
00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:31,920
Speaker 1: Well?

278
00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:35,240
Speaker 6: I would again, and I know I've said this a

279
00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:37,280
Speaker 6: couple of times, but it's really true. I would really

280
00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:40,040
Speaker 6: give a lot of credit to Klan Hannah and Janis McNair.

281
00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:43,920
Speaker 6: You know, an overnight success, you know, three years in

282
00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:46,800
Speaker 6: the making, I guess, but but you know that we

283
00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:49,040
Speaker 6: did have some challenging times. But they had a plan

284
00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:51,960
Speaker 6: and you know, they were really clear about what was

285
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:54,679
Speaker 6: expected from both us on the business side and from

286
00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:57,079
Speaker 6: a fan perspective. And then you know what they were

287
00:11:57,080 --> 00:11:59,040
Speaker 6: trying to build on the on the football side, and

288
00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:01,760
Speaker 6: you know, reallyst off season, a lot of that started

289
00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:05,880
Speaker 6: to culminate with the Miko, the draft, all the assets

290
00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:08,360
Speaker 6: that Nick had pulled together over the last couple of years,

291
00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:10,560
Speaker 6: and then you know some of the fun things that

292
00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:12,480
Speaker 6: we've been doing on the on on the fans side,

293
00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:14,520
Speaker 6: engaging the fans and really trying to do that. So

294
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:17,480
Speaker 6: you know, you never know how it's all gonna come together.

295
00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:20,480
Speaker 6: So far, so good, but again it's it's really about

296
00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:23,200
Speaker 6: to work, you know. At this point, Uh, we haven't

297
00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:26,800
Speaker 6: won anything, and and I think we're excited about you know,

298
00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:28,960
Speaker 6: doing that on and off the field and making sure

299
00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:30,800
Speaker 6: this season as good as it possibly can be.

300
00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:33,160
Speaker 1: Right, thanks a lot for joining us. Good luck today

301
00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:33,560
Speaker 1: you guys.

302
00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:34,600
Speaker 3: Enjoy all right.

303
00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:36,920
Speaker 2: We're at the seven pe to three Music Hall for

304
00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:40,920
Speaker 2: the Texans uniform reveal party, and it is a party.

305
00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:41,400
Speaker 1: Inside.

306
00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:44,440
Speaker 2: There's a big slab car in thereatful.

307
00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:47,599
Speaker 4: I mean it's that red, it's the Battle Red. I

308
00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:53,720
Speaker 4: mean it looks just fantastically. I mean it's it's so awesome.

309
00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:55,520
Speaker 3: I mean it is really really cool. I want to

310
00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:57,840
Speaker 3: drive it out of here, but I think it would

311
00:12:57,840 --> 00:12:58,600
Speaker 3: be kind of obvious.

312
00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:01,840
Speaker 1: They might frown on that kind of behavior. I'm thinking,

313
00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:05,320
Speaker 1: well dry right around downtown kind of nice.

314
00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:07,280
Speaker 2: I just love seeing the fans so happy at the

315
00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:10,120
Speaker 2: store today. They were so happy buying up new jerseys,

316
00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:13,120
Speaker 2: and fans are porn in here wearing the so called

317
00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:16,480
Speaker 2: old stuff, right, which is certainly welcomed. All right, you

318
00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:20,240
Speaker 2: invested in that product, wear it, enjoy.

319
00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:20,760
Speaker 8: It, have it.

320
00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:24,040
Speaker 2: The new stuff is available as well. I thought the

321
00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:26,240
Speaker 2: store would sell out in seconds, but they just kept

322
00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:29,760
Speaker 2: on bringing out more inventory, more inventory, more inventory. So

323
00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:32,160
Speaker 2: it all worked out that way. But Johnny, we do

324
00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:34,040
Speaker 2: have a draft to get ready for. We did that

325
00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:36,880
Speaker 2: is awesome, and I think I said it was it

326
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:37,480
Speaker 2: last week.

327
00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:38,240
Speaker 1: I said, I don't know.

328
00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:42,080
Speaker 2: If we're not you, but we collectively are excited enough

329
00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:44,480
Speaker 2: for this draft. This draft, you're gonna have new players,

330
00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:48,040
Speaker 2: like Greg said, new Texans on the way, and this

331
00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:50,400
Speaker 2: is gonna be cool. Think of what Nick Caserio can

332
00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:53,240
Speaker 2: do with two second round draft picks. Think of what

333
00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:56,360
Speaker 2: he did in a draft where in twenty twenty one,

334
00:13:56,720 --> 00:13:59,480
Speaker 2: whether Texans didn't have a first or second round pick,

335
00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:01,319
Speaker 2: and you got guy like Nico.

336
00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:02,360
Speaker 1: Collins, among others.

337
00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:04,720
Speaker 2: And Nico is a guy that we desperately want to

338
00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:07,880
Speaker 2: see remain in Houston, Texan going into twenty twenty five,

339
00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:10,440
Speaker 2: because this is the last year of his rookie deal.

340
00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:12,680
Speaker 2: So there's a lot to watch out for. There are

341
00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:15,040
Speaker 2: a lot of attractive names that they can get that

342
00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:17,240
Speaker 2: can really help this team as much as they've helped

343
00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:20,160
Speaker 2: themselves in free agency, there's still so much on the

344
00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:24,920
Speaker 2: table that we don't know. Players you don't know right now,

345
00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:27,280
Speaker 2: well you know them, but players you don't know that

346
00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:30,560
Speaker 2: will be Texans could play a major role in what

347
00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:31,600
Speaker 2: goes down this season.

348
00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:33,720
Speaker 3: You know, I always think about that going into the draft.

349
00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:36,400
Speaker 4: You know, which of these names do you look at

350
00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:38,800
Speaker 4: it and go, Okay, this guy he could be a Texan.

351
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:40,640
Speaker 3: What's that gonna look like? What's it gonna look like?

352
00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:42,520
Speaker 4: In November, we're getting ready for a game and he's

353
00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:45,160
Speaker 4: starting at cornerback or wide receiver.

354
00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:48,440
Speaker 3: He fits a tackle, And I always that's.

355
00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:50,920
Speaker 4: Just such a I don't know, I love that feeling

356
00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:52,400
Speaker 4: of Okay, this guy's gonna be with us.

357
00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:53,600
Speaker 3: And I remember having this feeling.

358
00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:55,840
Speaker 4: We went to the Combine at twenty three, so not

359
00:14:55,920 --> 00:14:58,280
Speaker 4: this past year, but the year before, and I remember

360
00:14:58,280 --> 00:14:59,520
Speaker 4: I wanted to just see.

361
00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:01,040
Speaker 3: Willy Anderson live to something.

362
00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:06,480
Speaker 4: I was so excited to just see him live, and he.

363
00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:07,680
Speaker 3: He didn't he didn't run or didn't work out, he

364
00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:10,960
Speaker 3: saved it for his pro day. So I wasn't I was.

365
00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:12,840
Speaker 4: I was just like, dang it, man, I wanted to

366
00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:14,800
Speaker 4: see that guy live. I wanted to see what he

367
00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:18,400
Speaker 4: looked like. Then we end up drafting him, and now

368
00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:20,320
Speaker 4: not only do we get to see him, we get

369
00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:23,600
Speaker 4: to see him play for us winning the game. And

370
00:15:23,640 --> 00:15:26,560
Speaker 4: I'm trying to talk as we're taking pictures, proposing for pictures,

371
00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:29,240
Speaker 4: also talking about Will Anderson Junior. But the fact is

372
00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:32,920
Speaker 4: getting a chance to see these guys turn into what

373
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:36,440
Speaker 4: they turned into really really cool. And you know, as

374
00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:38,480
Speaker 4: we're sitting with these guys, you know, a few weeks ago,

375
00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:41,120
Speaker 4: we're up on the roof here and we're just talking

376
00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:42,920
Speaker 4: to him. They've got the new jerseys on and they're

377
00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:46,359
Speaker 4: just loving new jerseys. But he just sensed this excitement

378
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:50,480
Speaker 4: for what is happening with this organization, with this city.

379
00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:55,320
Speaker 3: And I know there are times when when people.

380
00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:57,200
Speaker 4: Say to me, oh, you guys are homers talking about

381
00:15:57,240 --> 00:15:58,360
Speaker 4: this and that and all that kind of stuff, And

382
00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:01,720
Speaker 4: I'm like, you know what, yeah, because you get on

383
00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:04,840
Speaker 4: this train now and you see what excitement can bring.

384
00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:07,040
Speaker 3: And it's like we were down in the.

385
00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:10,080
Speaker 4: Dumps for you know, four win seasons, three win seasons,

386
00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:12,560
Speaker 4: all the stuff off the field to get to this

387
00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:14,920
Speaker 4: point and to see these fans walking in and be

388
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:18,360
Speaker 4: so happy and so excited, like you said earlier, is

389
00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:21,440
Speaker 4: one of the coolest things I can think of.

390
00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:23,160
Speaker 3: And I said this to you up there, like, you

391
00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:24,160
Speaker 3: know what, Yeah.

392
00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:25,480
Speaker 4: The Jewses are great. You know, I don't think about

393
00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:27,320
Speaker 4: the jerseys all that much. You don't think about the

394
00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:30,560
Speaker 4: draft and all that. But to see how happy people

395
00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:33,720
Speaker 4: are about this organization and what they're doing is really

396
00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:34,200
Speaker 4: really cool.

397
00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:37,880
Speaker 2: So I like to rank things or at least assess

398
00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:38,880
Speaker 2: where they stand.

399
00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:42,280
Speaker 1: And we talked about last off season. Was that the

400
00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:43,880
Speaker 1: greatest offseason.

401
00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:46,520
Speaker 2: They've ever had the organization When you think about CJ,

402
00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:49,600
Speaker 2: when you think about Will Anderson, I mean, that's unbelievable

403
00:16:49,920 --> 00:16:52,240
Speaker 2: what they pulled off there alone, and the free agent

404
00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:54,520
Speaker 2: signings and then the result of it. But it all

405
00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:58,560
Speaker 2: started with the hiring of Demico. But this offseason people

406
00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:00,840
Speaker 2: have asked me, like, where does this stack up and everything,

407
00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:04,359
Speaker 2: And it kind of reminded me in a way because

408
00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:07,199
Speaker 2: there's always gonna be apples to oranges here, but the

409
00:17:07,280 --> 00:17:11,040
Speaker 2: apples are You're coming off a divisional round appearance and

410
00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:13,800
Speaker 2: you have a ton of momentum going into the next year.

411
00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:16,720
Speaker 2: So it reminds me in that way of twenty twelve.

412
00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:21,600
Speaker 2: But and as exciting as that was, I really think

413
00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:26,200
Speaker 2: that this is another dimension because all right, you have

414
00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:28,240
Speaker 2: an outstanding free agent class.

415
00:17:28,320 --> 00:17:30,040
Speaker 1: You know, you have a quarterback, you know, you have

416
00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:31,080
Speaker 1: year or two of Demico.

417
00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:37,080
Speaker 2: It's also fresh still and speaking of fresh, the new uniforms,

418
00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:41,240
Speaker 2: the rebrand, it's incredible, the truckload of momentum you have

419
00:17:41,359 --> 00:17:42,040
Speaker 2: going now.

420
00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:43,960
Speaker 1: And of course it's all about backing it up.

421
00:17:44,080 --> 00:17:45,800
Speaker 2: But I'm talking about where you stand now in the

422
00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:48,080
Speaker 2: off season and we haven't even had the draft yet.

423
00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:48,440
Speaker 3: Yeah.

424
00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:51,240
Speaker 4: Absolutely, and to see you know, it's it's gonna be

425
00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:53,760
Speaker 4: interesting because you know, a lot a lot of training

426
00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:56,640
Speaker 4: camps are a lot of first few, you know, first game,

427
00:17:56,680 --> 00:17:57,879
Speaker 4: you know, the preseason games.

428
00:17:57,960 --> 00:17:59,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, what do you want to look for?

429
00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:00,560
Speaker 4: You know, you're not gonna see this artists for much,

430
00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:02,399
Speaker 4: but it's gonna be cool to see Danil Hunter in

431
00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:03,959
Speaker 4: a uniform, you know, all this kind of stuff.

432
00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:06,160
Speaker 3: And then on top of that, you're gonna be looking

433
00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:06,600
Speaker 3: at them.

434
00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:08,439
Speaker 4: In new uniforms down in the field. So there's so

435
00:18:08,520 --> 00:18:12,080
Speaker 4: much to be looking for with this team early on

436
00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:14,960
Speaker 4: in the preseason Hall of Fame game, and I don't

437
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:16,600
Speaker 4: think we'll see a lot of the guys that night.

438
00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:18,840
Speaker 3: Maybe they'll just wear the jerseys because they want to

439
00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:19,439
Speaker 3: look good at them and.

440
00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:22,720
Speaker 2: See what jerseys. I brought up a good question, Johnny,

441
00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:24,400
Speaker 2: what's that? What jerseys?

442
00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:26,399
Speaker 1: Well, they wear that night, it's either Liberty white or

443
00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:27,879
Speaker 1: the deep Steel blue. It's not gonna be one of

444
00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:30,960
Speaker 1: the other. No, it's one of those. Witch is it

445
00:18:31,119 --> 00:18:33,200
Speaker 1: being a neutral sight? I just want to don't.

446
00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:36,120
Speaker 3: I mean, either way, it's good. I mean, I don't.

447
00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:38,720
Speaker 4: I don't mind if they I've always liked the I

448
00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:41,640
Speaker 4: like the road uni that the deep Sea of blue

449
00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:43,560

450
00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:45,439
Speaker 4: we weren't a playoff game. I like that, and I

451
00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:49,159
Speaker 4: like the combo when I see it. I think that

452
00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:51,760

00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:47,680
Speaker 4: I didn't realize they've got all these seats up here.

473
00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:48,520
Speaker 1: Yeah they there.

474
00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:51,159
Speaker 2: Yeah, they've got a falcony whatever they call it.

475
00:19:51,359 --> 00:19:52,040
Speaker 3: That is real.

476
00:19:52,119 --> 00:19:54,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, it is really nice. I mean, I'd love to

477
00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:57,040
Speaker 2: see a musical act here. I've been here several times.

478
00:19:57,480 --> 00:19:59,800
Speaker 2: We were considering this as a draft party location, but

479
00:19:59,840 --> 00:20:03,600
Speaker 2: that didn't happen. Instead decided to do the reveal party here.

480
00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:04,600
Speaker 2: So that's super cool.

481
00:20:04,760 --> 00:20:07,239
Speaker 4: So this So this party was started six thirty, right,

482
00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:10,919
Speaker 4: it's six six twenty five and people have been pouring

483
00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:12,000
Speaker 4: in for forty five minutes.

484
00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:15,080
Speaker 2: No, I think I think seven officially, Johnny, if I'm

485
00:20:15,119 --> 00:20:16,440
Speaker 2: not mistaken, I think, Okay.

486
00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:16,880
Speaker 1: I don't know.

487
00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:18,119
Speaker 3: They're just letting people pour in.

488
00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:21,160
Speaker 2: Cal and Hannah mcnare gonna join us at about six thirty,

489
00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:23,760
Speaker 2: we hear, so we'll find out. Uh.

490
00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:27,440
Speaker 1: I saw one of the coaches from my flag football.

491
00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:30,680
Speaker 2: League with my my my eleven year old team, and

492
00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:33,199
Speaker 2: he said, we're gonna get you next time because we

493
00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:35,840
Speaker 2: beat him on opening day. But we just lost last

494
00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:38,400
Speaker 2: week and we got fat and happy and lost. So

495
00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:41,040
Speaker 2: I told him, I said, listen, we're vulnerable now. I

496
00:20:41,080 --> 00:20:44,480
Speaker 2: cannot have this. So, you know, I feel like getting

497
00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:46,840
Speaker 2: this new deep steel blue look for the team or something.

498
00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:47,840
Speaker 1: I don't know. Maybe we can do.

499
00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:49,920
Speaker 3: Name of what's your team name? Are you?

500
00:20:50,040 --> 00:20:50,200
Speaker 8: Tell?

501
00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:50,520
Speaker 1: Gosh?

502
00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:50,800
Speaker 4: You know what?

503
00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:53,439
Speaker 2: They wanted to call it the Bolt, the Riz or

504
00:20:53,440 --> 00:20:56,160
Speaker 2: the Wrizzlers, because like that's the thing.

505
00:20:56,400 --> 00:20:57,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.

506
00:20:57,680 --> 00:20:59,040
Speaker 1: And I'm like, you guys are eleven.

507
00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:02,880
Speaker 2: Can we just calm down a bit here because we're

508
00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:03,280
Speaker 2: we all.

509
00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:05,280
Speaker 1: Have team numbers so and we and it used to

510
00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:06,440
Speaker 1: be an NFL league.

511
00:21:08,119 --> 00:21:08,399
Speaker 5: Right now.

512
00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:11,480
Speaker 2: No, no, we used to do that, but we haven't

513
00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:14,720
Speaker 2: done that anymore. Last year we're the Buccaneers. Oh we

514
00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:17,920
Speaker 2: we were the Browns forever when the Browns were horrible

515
00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:20,359
Speaker 2: because I you know, they ran out.

516
00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:21,440
Speaker 1: Of Texans gear one year.

517
00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:25,040
Speaker 2: So the guy just gave me the Browns, and I thought, man,

518
00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:25,800
Speaker 2: and they were awful.

519
00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:27,800
Speaker 1: But I said, listen, no one will see us coming.

520
00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:29,560
Speaker 1: They won't see us coming.

521
00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:30,080
Speaker 5: Now.

522
00:21:30,119 --> 00:21:34,240
Speaker 2: I would never pick that, obviously, for obvious reasons. I

523
00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:38,000
Speaker 2: would never pick that. But we'll see what happens with that.

524
00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:40,959
Speaker 2: And no one wants to hear about my flag football coaching,

525
00:21:41,080 --> 00:21:43,639
Speaker 2: but they do want to hear about the Houston Texans

526
00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:45,960
Speaker 2: and how they fit in in this uniform derby with

527
00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:48,639
Speaker 2: the rest of the league. Look, I saw the Broncos yesterday,

528
00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:52,320
Speaker 2: all right. I've seen some of the other unveils. I

529
00:21:52,320 --> 00:21:55,760
Speaker 2: saw the Jets, I saw the Lions, all right. I

530
00:21:55,800 --> 00:21:59,480
Speaker 2: do think the Texans are tracking ahead of those organizations,

531
00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:01,640
Speaker 2: so they might win this thing for the off season,

532
00:22:01,680 --> 00:22:05,880
Speaker 2: the unofficial off season uniform switch competition.

533
00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:09,679
Speaker 4: Here here are my rankings, all right, ours one the

534
00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:12,879
Speaker 4: two Lions, the Lions, Lions class.

535
00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:15,320
Speaker 3: I love the blue, I love the classic look. I

536
00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:16,600
Speaker 3: love that. I think it's what they needed.

537
00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:21,240
Speaker 4: And then Rod Wood told Dan Campbell, you gotta win

538
00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:22,879
Speaker 4: a division and then we'll.

539
00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:24,880
Speaker 3: Get the black Back. They got the black Back.

540
00:22:24,760 --> 00:22:27,800
Speaker 4: With like a you know, a like a different colored blue,

541
00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:30,720
Speaker 4: almost like a teal blue. Jets are close to the lines.

542
00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:32,840
Speaker 4: I like the I like the Jets going back to

543
00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:36,760
Speaker 4: the future. The Jets black UNI, Oh my goodness, that

544
00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:41,560
Speaker 4: things beauty. And the Broncos are like how far down

545
00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:42,000
Speaker 4: you can go?

546
00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:44,960
Speaker 3: Now? Now the retro Bronco UNI.

547
00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:48,000
Speaker 4: He's bringing back the O g unis the orange with

548
00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:50,760
Speaker 4: the light blue helmet with the D on it. Now,

549
00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:53,399
Speaker 4: those are those are fire. But the new ones that

550
00:22:53,480 --> 00:22:56,760
Speaker 4: they I don't know what they did with those. I

551
00:22:56,760 --> 00:22:57,560
Speaker 4: don't know what happened.

552
00:22:57,600 --> 00:23:01,639
Speaker 2: A fan brought this up with me that the Steelers

553
00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:04,399
Speaker 2: really don't change. They tweaked, they don't change the numbers.

554
00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:08,280
Speaker 2: The Dolphins really tweak and they don't change. Teams that

555
00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:13,000
Speaker 2: have won multiple Super Bowls tend not to change, right,

556
00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:17,520
Speaker 2: The Patriots didn't change after they won a Super Bowl, right.

557
00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:20,640
Speaker 2: I think they tweaked after that first one. But they

558
00:23:20,680 --> 00:23:24,120
Speaker 2: really look basically the same. So the question was, had

559
00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:26,159
Speaker 2: we won a super Bowl, would we be doing this?

560
00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:28,680
Speaker 2: And I can't answer that because I wish we had

561
00:23:28,680 --> 00:23:31,199
Speaker 2: won a super Bowl so we could find out. But

562
00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:33,280
Speaker 2: I'd love to win one of these now that we've changed.

563
00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:36,360
Speaker 2: But look at it this way. The Bucks change, they

564
00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:38,439
Speaker 2: win a super Bowl. It was a few years, but

565
00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:42,120
Speaker 2: they won one. The Broncos change, they won a Super

566
00:23:42,119 --> 00:23:44,679
Speaker 2: Bowl and they had been to four and lost in

567
00:23:44,720 --> 00:23:47,040
Speaker 2: the old uniforms because Craig Morton in the seventies don

568
00:23:47,080 --> 00:23:47,720
Speaker 2: three with L Way.

569
00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:48,240
Speaker 1: They lost.

570
00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:50,600
Speaker 2: Then they went two with Lway and that's how that

571
00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:53,600
Speaker 2: went down. So you have to look at it like that.

572
00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:58,440
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, and we are we're greeted by a model,

573
00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:01,639
Speaker 2: one of the of the new gear.

574
00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:04,160
Speaker 1: Oh yes, and her name is Hannah McNair.

575
00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:06,080
Speaker 3: Wait, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa what are you

576
00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:07,680
Speaker 3: talking about? Oh he's not wearing a hat that he

577
00:24:07,760 --> 00:24:10,520
Speaker 3: wore the other day. He's as good a model as

578
00:24:10,520 --> 00:24:12,840
Speaker 3: we have had in this whole thing. And that's mister McNab.

579
00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:17,359
Speaker 1: Yeah, yes, the chairman CEO. Kids wear the h Town blue.

580
00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:18,440
Speaker 3: Are they wearing everything?

581
00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:20,200
Speaker 1: Hannah, the McNair kids.

582
00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:22,679
Speaker 2: Yeah, new battle red. I've got the battle Red, I've

583
00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:27,040
Speaker 2: got the h Town blue, the color Rush jersey. And

584
00:24:27,119 --> 00:24:29,640
Speaker 2: Cal put the hat on top of the headset, which.

585
00:24:29,760 --> 00:24:31,600
Speaker 7: You know that it's not a good fit.

586
00:24:32,080 --> 00:24:32,600
Speaker 3: It's okay.

587
00:24:33,119 --> 00:24:35,159
Speaker 2: When we're in the broadcast food that it's zero degrees,

588
00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:37,440
Speaker 2: I put the hat on, then the headset over it.

589
00:24:37,560 --> 00:24:41,760
Speaker 2: Sometimes that works, so welcome Cal and Hannah McNair. Congratulations,

590
00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:42,600
Speaker 2: what a great day.

591
00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:44,080
Speaker 1: How is your debt so far?

592
00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:47,560
Speaker 7: It's been busy, full and a lot of fun, A

593
00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:48,120
Speaker 7: lot of fun.

594
00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:51,639
Speaker 4: How many text messages have you gotten from people just

595
00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:53,560
Speaker 4: saying congratulations, this is awesome.

596
00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:54,800
Speaker 3: They're excited about being Texas.

597
00:24:54,800 --> 00:24:58,960
Speaker 9: Misam a lot, a lot, yeah, one hundred, I don't know,

598
00:24:59,160 --> 00:25:01,760
Speaker 9: a lot. Trying to keep it that it's really hard.

599
00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:05,720
Speaker 4: Okay, So how many bullet holes did you actually leave

600
00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:10,679
Speaker 4: in Landry this morning? Bullet hole verbal bullet holes is

601
00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:12,920
Speaker 4: because you came in with the receipts and that was

602
00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:14,360
Speaker 4: kind of it was awesome to hear.

603
00:25:15,560 --> 00:25:18,160
Speaker 3: But I know you, I know you guys. You fight

604
00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:19,600
Speaker 3: about the Hayshtown blue.

605
00:25:19,359 --> 00:25:21,399
Speaker 4: Thing and all that, but just seeing the one thing

606
00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:23,120
Speaker 4: I asked Greg was when you guys weren't have to Beaverton.

607
00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:25,880
Speaker 4: It saw for the first time. What were your thoughts,

608
00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:29,560
Speaker 4: like you're seeing the first new jersey, what were.

609
00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:31,000
Speaker 3: You guys thinking you saw for the first time.

610
00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:33,560
Speaker 7: I was thinking all those bullet holes were earned.

611
00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:38,000
Speaker 1: It was there.

612
00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:42,400
Speaker 2: What was the difference in seeing the uniforms in design

613
00:25:42,800 --> 00:25:46,439
Speaker 2: versus on the players or I would say models, But

614
00:25:46,480 --> 00:25:47,480
Speaker 2: it's definitely better.

615
00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:47,960
Speaker 1: On the players.

616
00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:52,240
Speaker 7: Well, uh, definitely. It's a whole other experience on the

617
00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:55,640
Speaker 7: players and either just a mock up or a drawing

618
00:25:55,960 --> 00:25:58,439
Speaker 7: or on someone else. So seeing it on a player

619
00:25:58,880 --> 00:26:01,200
Speaker 7: really puts it into action and then you get to

620
00:26:01,200 --> 00:26:02,400
Speaker 7: see it come in to lag that way.

621
00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:06,119
Speaker 2: What about you, Hannah, see design versus in the flesh,

622
00:26:06,160 --> 00:26:06,840
Speaker 2: so to speak.

623
00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:09,600
Speaker 9: I think on the players, it just gets it a

624
00:26:09,640 --> 00:26:12,760
Speaker 9: whole different element, like Kyle said, and you get to

625
00:26:12,760 --> 00:26:14,439
Speaker 9: see them on the field. You get to imagine that

626
00:26:14,520 --> 00:26:17,320
Speaker 9: feeling on game day where they're wearing those uniforms. So

627
00:26:17,359 --> 00:26:19,920
Speaker 9: when they're in a you just put yourself in that

628
00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:23,560
Speaker 9: stadium with those guys in those uniforms, and you just

629
00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:27,160
Speaker 9: get that stadium feeling, that game day feeling.

630
00:26:26,920 --> 00:26:27,760
Speaker 1: And you're ready to go.

631
00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:29,480
Speaker 9: I feel like that's what I see when I look

632
00:26:29,520 --> 00:26:31,240
Speaker 9: at these pictures and videos of them in it.

633
00:26:31,440 --> 00:26:32,920
Speaker 3: So we've had this day circle for a while.

634
00:26:32,920 --> 00:26:35,800
Speaker 4: When you're about the party ten o'clock videos are going

635
00:26:35,880 --> 00:26:38,480
Speaker 4: out and the world's going to see these things.

636
00:26:38,560 --> 00:26:40,680
Speaker 3: I mean, it are some it'd seen some of them,

637
00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:41,800
Speaker 3: but I had seen everything.

638
00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:44,040
Speaker 4: What are y'all feeling this morning when you're kind of like,

639
00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:45,879
Speaker 4: what's the reaction going to be? Did you guys have

640
00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:47,840
Speaker 4: any worries about it? Were you anxious about it? What

641
00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:49,680
Speaker 4: are you kind of thinking as ten o'clock rolled around?

642
00:26:50,960 --> 00:26:52,440
Speaker 4: Was it more excitement than anxiety?

643
00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:56,840
Speaker 7: Yeah, I'm definitely more excitement. We've had gotten some feedback

644
00:26:56,840 --> 00:27:00,480
Speaker 7: from the leagues of course that we're produced out. We

645
00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:02,640
Speaker 7: were looking for a plumber but couldn't quite find one.

646
00:27:02,720 --> 00:27:07,679
Speaker 7: But yeah, but we're really excited for ten o'clock to

647
00:27:07,760 --> 00:27:10,119
Speaker 7: roll around and we could show everyone, you know, the

648
00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:13,080
Speaker 7: full closet and and so that was something we're really

649
00:27:13,080 --> 00:27:13,679
Speaker 7: looking forward to.

650
00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:17,560
Speaker 9: We're expecting mixed reviews, as you normally get that with

651
00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:22,400
Speaker 9: any reveal. Some people don't like change, but really overwhelmingly

652
00:27:22,440 --> 00:27:23,480
Speaker 9: it's been really positive.

653
00:27:24,040 --> 00:27:26,560
Speaker 1: I was asked what we'd be wearing in.

654
00:27:26,520 --> 00:27:28,800
Speaker 2: The Hall of Fame game, and I thought, if I

655
00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:31,199
Speaker 2: had a choice, I might say the Liberty white, just

656
00:27:31,200 --> 00:27:32,639
Speaker 2: to you know, lead with.

657
00:27:32,520 --> 00:27:34,600
Speaker 9: That one, kind of like Andre choose.

658
00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:37,760
Speaker 1: I I like this meeting here.

659
00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:39,920
Speaker 4: Yes, I got a feeling that Andre is gonna pick

660
00:27:40,440 --> 00:27:43,199
Speaker 4: that one, because every single player we talked to I

661
00:27:43,400 --> 00:27:44,960
Speaker 4: like that the color Rush one.

662
00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:47,440
Speaker 3: Every one of them was like this one is. I wonder.

663
00:27:47,880 --> 00:27:51,679
Speaker 9: I wonder if there's requirement, like if that goes against

664
00:27:51,680 --> 00:27:54,879
Speaker 9: our what our closet can do, like if it's pre season,

665
00:27:54,920 --> 00:27:56,639
Speaker 9: if it's a Hall of Fame game, because it's so

666
00:27:56,840 --> 00:28:00,200
Speaker 9: out of the ordinary.

667
00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:01,879
Speaker 10: So I don't know if the preseason counts, so we

668
00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:02,960
Speaker 10: can wear whatever we want.

669
00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:05,480
Speaker 7: So I'm not sure, but I think that's right. But

670
00:28:05,640 --> 00:28:08,280
Speaker 7: my gut tells me this will be a visiting trip,

671
00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:10,720
Speaker 7: so we'd be in our white jerseys. But I don't

672
00:28:10,760 --> 00:28:11,240
Speaker 7: know for sure.

673
00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:13,280
Speaker 2: Maybe, but I like the way you say that, Hannah,

674
00:28:13,280 --> 00:28:15,199
Speaker 2: what are closets can provide?

675
00:28:15,240 --> 00:28:17,040
Speaker 4: That's kind of interesting now that we've got a full

676
00:28:17,080 --> 00:28:18,600
Speaker 4: closet of new uniforms.

677
00:28:19,280 --> 00:28:21,840
Speaker 2: I love the gear associated though, because Hannah's wearing the

678
00:28:21,960 --> 00:28:24,639
Speaker 2: jacket right now and it's beautiful.

679
00:28:25,080 --> 00:28:26,119
Speaker 9: I was just talking about you.

680
00:28:29,080 --> 00:28:32,960
Speaker 1: Probably can't. Okay, no one can hear a thing in

681
00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:35,159
Speaker 1: here unless you have the headset on. But Hall of

682
00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:38,760
Speaker 1: Famer that that is so special. Though, what a year

683
00:28:38,960 --> 00:28:40,520
Speaker 1: cal that you have?

684
00:28:40,720 --> 00:28:43,600
Speaker 2: This, You have the draft coming up, which I don't

685
00:28:43,600 --> 00:28:45,440
Speaker 2: know if we've been talking enough about the draft with

686
00:28:45,480 --> 00:28:47,440
Speaker 2: everything else that is going on, and you have Adrey

687
00:28:47,520 --> 00:28:49,000
Speaker 2: Johnson going into the halls.

688
00:28:48,720 --> 00:28:49,479
Speaker 1: The first Texas.

689
00:28:49,880 --> 00:28:50,560
Speaker 5: It's a good year.

690
00:28:50,880 --> 00:28:52,880
Speaker 7: It's a good year. Let's keep it going. Had a

691
00:28:52,880 --> 00:28:56,040
Speaker 7: great off season, a number of really good free agents

692
00:28:56,080 --> 00:29:00,640
Speaker 7: coming in the Hall of Fame the Jersey and now

693
00:29:00,720 --> 00:29:03,000
Speaker 7: let's roll into the draft and have a great draft

694
00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:04,400
Speaker 7: and let's just keep the ball going.

695
00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:08,280
Speaker 2: How will you spend Thursday night the first round, because

696
00:29:09,080 --> 00:29:09,680
Speaker 2: we were talking to.

697
00:29:09,720 --> 00:29:12,080
Speaker 1: Nick about it. You guys don't have a pick, but

698
00:29:12,200 --> 00:29:15,720
Speaker 1: you never know, right, So how does all that work?

699
00:29:15,840 --> 00:29:18,960
Speaker 1: That process? Well, we'll be in the draft room.

700
00:29:19,040 --> 00:29:21,000
Speaker 7: We'll be in the draft room and we'll be watching

701
00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:23,640
Speaker 7: the draft, and that'll affect what happens on the second day.

702
00:29:24,040 --> 00:29:25,920
Speaker 7: And you never know. Nick can trade up, he can

703
00:29:25,960 --> 00:29:28,280
Speaker 7: trade down if there's no telling what he was gonna do.

704
00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:31,000
Speaker 9: So we got a guy like Nico Collins when we

705
00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:32,959
Speaker 9: didn't have a first or second room.

706
00:29:33,560 --> 00:29:35,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, traded up into.

707
00:29:35,400 --> 00:29:37,240
Speaker 3: The route exactly.

708
00:29:37,280 --> 00:29:39,480
Speaker 9: So, I mean, you never know what can happen. But

709
00:29:39,480 --> 00:29:42,040
Speaker 9: if you're watching the board and you're watching your guys, guys,

710
00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:42,520
Speaker 9: you may.

711
00:29:42,520 --> 00:29:44,560
Speaker 4: Like, we know, not to take a bathroom break at

712
00:29:44,600 --> 00:29:47,360
Speaker 4: any point where we possibly could like it to wait.

713
00:29:47,600 --> 00:29:51,560
Speaker 4: We're well schooled on Nick Casario drafts. We know anything

714
00:29:51,560 --> 00:29:54,360
Speaker 4: can happen at any time. And I swear last year

715
00:29:55,080 --> 00:29:58,120
Speaker 4: I saw you guys on stage, you know, probably an

716
00:29:58,120 --> 00:30:00,480
Speaker 4: hour or so after that happened. I don't know that

717
00:30:00,520 --> 00:30:04,360
Speaker 4: I've experienced anything like CJ. Strauby drafted in a trade

718
00:30:04,360 --> 00:30:06,240
Speaker 4: to get Will Anderson. I don't know what y'all were

719
00:30:06,280 --> 00:30:07,840
Speaker 4: thinking at a time, and you guys were probably the

720
00:30:07,880 --> 00:30:09,200
Speaker 4: draft room like watching all fold.

721
00:30:09,240 --> 00:30:11,760
Speaker 3: But for us, I mean that was incredible wash during

722
00:30:11,760 --> 00:30:12,120
Speaker 3: that draft.

723
00:30:12,160 --> 00:30:12,400
Speaker 8: Body.

724
00:30:12,680 --> 00:30:15,680
Speaker 10: Yeah, we were in the draft room and it was

725
00:30:15,720 --> 00:30:18,560
Speaker 10: all business though right then, right like you don't there's

726
00:30:18,600 --> 00:30:21,600
Speaker 10: not a big roar in there like what there was

727
00:30:21,960 --> 00:30:22,960
Speaker 10: where you guys were.

728
00:30:23,400 --> 00:30:26,360
Speaker 9: I mean, we were all cheering, very excited, but the

729
00:30:26,520 --> 00:30:29,200
Speaker 9: energy that was coming back into that room from the

730
00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:31,760
Speaker 9: feedback we were getting from people who were with y'all.

731
00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:33,200
Speaker 1: Was so contagious.

732
00:30:33,240 --> 00:30:36,480
Speaker 9: That we wanted to be back there with everyone.

733
00:30:36,640 --> 00:30:40,040
Speaker 2: What is the role tonight here at this reveal party

734
00:30:40,120 --> 00:30:42,440
Speaker 2: for the two of you? Are you going up on stage?

735
00:30:42,640 --> 00:30:44,320
Speaker 2: What is going to happen? What can you tell us

736
00:30:44,320 --> 00:30:45,040
Speaker 2: about the jury?

737
00:30:45,080 --> 00:30:47,360
Speaker 9: Locker is coming out in our home uniform.

738
00:30:48,960 --> 00:30:49,760
Speaker 3: That's what you have to do.

739
00:30:49,760 --> 00:30:51,400
Speaker 4: You have to get a bet with Landry and then

740
00:30:51,480 --> 00:30:53,560
Speaker 4: that's what you win. If you loses the bets, he's

741
00:30:53,560 --> 00:30:54,840
Speaker 4: got to wear that unifor.

742
00:30:54,720 --> 00:30:57,160
Speaker 9: Why would I give him some of them that nice

743
00:30:57,480 --> 00:30:59,000
Speaker 9: because he doesn't think it's nice.

744
00:30:59,120 --> 00:31:02,960
Speaker 7: Yeah, we're we're here. I'm not sure how long we're

745
00:31:02,960 --> 00:31:03,480
Speaker 7: gonna be here.

746
00:31:03,520 --> 00:31:04,720
Speaker 5: We're going to be here for a while.

747
00:31:05,240 --> 00:31:07,320
Speaker 7: And I did they do want us on stage to

748
00:31:07,400 --> 00:31:10,600
Speaker 7: say about a line or two and but we're excited

749
00:31:10,640 --> 00:31:13,160
Speaker 7: for the uniforms and for everyone to come out and experience.

750
00:31:13,560 --> 00:31:15,720
Speaker 2: Great to see the kids out here tonight. How's the

751
00:31:15,760 --> 00:31:17,960
Speaker 2: athletic competition going, Hannah?

752
00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:18,960
Speaker 1: How are the teams?

753
00:31:19,080 --> 00:31:22,920
Speaker 9: Oh, the teams are all doing really really well. Calhoun's

754
00:31:23,080 --> 00:31:25,400
Speaker 9: last tournament, actually the last tournament the boys were in.

755
00:31:25,440 --> 00:31:27,640
Speaker 1: All of them made it to the championship, which was.

756
00:31:27,560 --> 00:31:31,120
Speaker 9: Really quite fun. Calhoun's team, he almost pitched a no

757
00:31:31,240 --> 00:31:34,400
Speaker 9: hitter until the last inning of the championship game hit

758
00:31:34,440 --> 00:31:37,000
Speaker 9: a home run. I think on the weekend his team

759
00:31:37,080 --> 00:31:41,880
Speaker 9: had sixteen home runs, which was phenomenal. It was rainy,

760
00:31:41,960 --> 00:31:46,640
Speaker 9: it was so much fun. I know, right, it was exciting.

761
00:31:46,680 --> 00:31:48,120
Speaker 9: You've never experienced anything like.

762
00:31:48,120 --> 00:31:50,320
Speaker 3: How many games would you have? All told?

763
00:31:50,880 --> 00:31:55,800
Speaker 9: Oh, that's too for Calhoun that weekend had five. Robert

764
00:31:55,840 --> 00:31:59,720
Speaker 9: that weekend had five in two days, so that's ten, Michael.

765
00:32:00,640 --> 00:32:02,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, It just it just gets kind of.

766
00:32:02,600 --> 00:32:04,840
Speaker 2: So your off season is not stress free as far

767
00:32:04,840 --> 00:32:05,760
Speaker 2: as watching games.

768
00:32:05,880 --> 00:32:08,760
Speaker 1: You have a different kind of stress watching the kids play, right,

769
00:32:08,800 --> 00:32:12,120
Speaker 1: but it's a fun stress us.

770
00:32:12,960 --> 00:32:16,600
Speaker 7: Right, it's months as long as the wines exactly right.

771
00:32:17,480 --> 00:32:20,040
Speaker 2: Answer of the day. Thank you very much, Callan Hanna

772
00:32:20,080 --> 00:32:20,880
Speaker 2: for joining us today.

773
00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:25,400
Speaker 1: Congratulate anything else. Yeah, but let's just sit out and

774
00:32:25,480 --> 00:32:29,000
Speaker 1: talk now. Let's we want to know. We want to

775
00:32:29,040 --> 00:32:30,960
Speaker 1: know second round. We got two bags. We want to

776
00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:32,520
Speaker 1: know all of it. And I also, you know what

777
00:32:32,560 --> 00:32:34,920
Speaker 1: I'm thinking about. The theme days.

778
00:32:34,720 --> 00:32:36,920
Speaker 2: Are going to be really interesting to decide when do

779
00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:39,360
Speaker 2: you wear the color rush, when do you wear battle red?

780
00:32:39,720 --> 00:32:41,480
Speaker 2: And we want to see what we have in prime

781
00:32:41,560 --> 00:32:43,240
Speaker 2: time because how many.

782
00:32:43,080 --> 00:32:45,320
Speaker 1: Will it be? Did they give you any kind of clue.

783
00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:46,720
Speaker 2: As to how many front time games or you just

784
00:32:46,760 --> 00:32:48,000
Speaker 2: have to wait like everybody else.

785
00:32:49,560 --> 00:32:51,880
Speaker 7: I think we've earned a few primetime games. So we'll

786
00:32:51,880 --> 00:32:55,320

Speaker 8: I love I love how that even in the h

836

Speaker 4: red chrome face mask, which I can't remember where we

842
00:35:39,520 --> 00:35:41,200

843
00:35:41,480 --> 00:35:44,520
Speaker 4: red chrome, but that red chrome face mask, it just

844
00:35:44,520 --> 00:35:49,160

Speaker 1: Remember over the night. I'll tell you one other thing

861
00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:27,520
Speaker 1: I remember, and this came up.

862
00:36:27,600 --> 00:36:29,359
Speaker 2: I was on the Afternoon Show today and they asked

863
00:36:29,400 --> 00:36:32,880
Speaker 2: me about uniform design and other places. Well, with the

864
00:36:32,960 --> 00:36:37,920
Speaker 2: hurricanes in your era, they were experimenting with the green

865
00:36:38,080 --> 00:36:41,359
Speaker 2: and different things because that wasn't a traditional Miami color, right,

866
00:36:41,400 --> 00:36:43,080
Speaker 2: it was orange usually with the white.

867
00:36:43,400 --> 00:36:44,200
Speaker 1: So what was that like?

868
00:36:44,239 --> 00:36:46,439
Speaker 2: Because you guys had a lot of cool different ones

869
00:36:46,440 --> 00:36:48,480
Speaker 2: with the stripes. But I remember some of the purists

870
00:36:48,760 --> 00:36:49,879
Speaker 2: were reacting to those.

871
00:36:50,120 --> 00:36:53,600
Speaker 8: Yeah, it was a I think the thing was when

872
00:36:53,600 --> 00:36:56,759
Speaker 8: we got the green uniforms. Everybody was super excited because

873
00:36:56,800 --> 00:36:59,880
Speaker 8: it was always orange and white. Yeah, and you know

874
00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:04,279
Speaker 8: the uniforms had changed right before. No, I actually changed

875
00:37:04,280 --> 00:37:07,520
Speaker 8: it when I got there. So well, my first year

876
00:37:07,560 --> 00:37:09,840
Speaker 8: we had still had the older uniform So my second

877
00:37:09,880 --> 00:37:12,120
Speaker 8: year was when we started winning the newer uniforms, and

Speaker 2: pretty good pass catching crew already. So what do you

929
00:39:16,040 --> 00:39:17,040

930
00:39:17,600 --> 00:39:21,279
Speaker 8: I think it just makes us better. You know, I

931
00:39:21,320 --> 00:39:23,840
Speaker 8: felt like we already had a great group of receivers,

932
00:39:23,880 --> 00:39:27,399
Speaker 8: and I think it just makes the group better. It

933
00:39:27,440 --> 00:39:31,040
Speaker 8: creates competition in the room, and it just helps everybody

934
00:39:31,120 --> 00:39:32,000
Speaker 8: elevate their game.

935
00:39:33,320 --> 00:39:34,359
Speaker 5: I think, you.

936
00:39:34,280 --> 00:39:36,920
Speaker 8: Know, him coming in is going to push the guys

937
00:39:36,960 --> 00:39:40,440
Speaker 8: to be, you know, better, players, So it should be

938
00:39:40,440 --> 00:39:41,040
Speaker 8: a lot of fun.

939
00:39:41,080 --> 00:39:41,279

Speaker 2: him get inducted into the Hurricanes Hall of Fame ten

958
00:40:37,160 --> 00:40:39,759
Speaker 2: years ago. It was exactly ten years ago, Johnny that

959
00:40:39,840 --> 00:40:41,840
Speaker 2: he went in to them. You're going to that, I

960
00:40:41,880 --> 00:40:44,239
Speaker 2: remember and I did Texans all Access from there, and

961
00:40:44,239 --> 00:40:45,120
Speaker 2: it was poortous.

962
00:40:45,200 --> 00:40:47,719
Speaker 1: Went in that day. James Jones went in that day

963
00:40:47,760 --> 00:40:48,840
Speaker 1: when he talked about.

964
00:40:48,600 --> 00:40:51,319
Speaker 4: The when he mentioned the Hurricane alumni dinner, I just went,

965
00:40:51,760 --> 00:40:56,120
Speaker 4: WHOA some reason that hit me like that must be

966
00:40:56,239 --> 00:40:58,640
Speaker 4: one of the coolest events. And you just look around

967
00:40:58,719 --> 00:41:01,240
Speaker 4: and go Hall of Famer, Hall of Famer, Hall of Famer,

968
00:41:01,560 --> 00:41:03,160
Speaker 4: and now you can put it Dre and goal hall

969
00:41:03,200 --> 00:41:03,920
Speaker 4: of Famer as well.

970
00:41:03,960 --> 00:41:05,920
Speaker 1: So pretty it's it's nuts.

971
00:41:06,120 --> 00:41:10,640
Speaker 2: And this off season and leading into the season is

972
00:41:10,719 --> 00:41:13,440
Speaker 2: so full. My heart is full, the plate is full,

973
00:41:14,440 --> 00:41:17,680
Speaker 2: the cup runneth over, however you want to describe it,

974
00:41:17,719 --> 00:41:20,480
Speaker 2: because you think about everything we've got coming up here,

975
00:41:20,520 --> 00:41:22,640
Speaker 2: the draft and the schedule release, and before you know it,

976
00:41:22,760 --> 00:41:25,719
Speaker 2: camp starts early, and who knows what they're gonna do

977
00:41:25,800 --> 00:41:27,680
Speaker 2: with that. There was a report that the Rams are

978
00:41:27,680 --> 00:41:29,800
Speaker 2: coming in for practice. I don't know if we confirm

979
00:41:29,840 --> 00:41:32,879
Speaker 2: that or whatever, but you know, and who knows what else,

980
00:41:32,920 --> 00:41:34,680
Speaker 2: because you know you're going to Campton for that Hall

981
00:41:34,719 --> 00:41:36,959
Speaker 2: of Fame game, and that could lead to all sorts

982
00:41:37,000 --> 00:41:37,680
Speaker 2: of cool stuff.

983
00:41:37,719 --> 00:41:42,040
Speaker 1: So I cannot wait for that four preseason.

984
00:41:41,400 --> 00:41:46,400
Speaker 2: Game slate, getting into the regular season and all of it. Johnny,

985
00:41:46,440 --> 00:41:49,279
Speaker 2: I'm getting impatient. Come on, let's go, let's play right now. Yeah,

986
00:41:49,320 --> 00:41:50,800
Speaker 2: wait at night I gotta play this weekend.

987
00:41:51,080 --> 00:41:52,520
Speaker 3: There's always an excitement from us.

988
00:41:52,560 --> 00:41:55,319
Speaker 4: I mean, obviously get excited for the draft, but I

989
00:41:55,360 --> 00:41:58,879
Speaker 4: think anybody, anybody and everybody that I talk to, yeah,

990
00:41:59,000 --> 00:42:02,239
Speaker 4: no matter where they live, they're like, man, you gotta

991
00:42:02,239 --> 00:42:05,839
Speaker 4: be excited. And I'm like yeah, And I mean, I

992
00:42:05,840 --> 00:42:09,200
Speaker 4: I try to control it because I know it's such

993
00:42:09,200 --> 00:42:10,920
Speaker 4: a once we get into the season, it.

994
00:42:10,920 --> 00:42:13,920
Speaker 3: Is a long grind no matter how good it is.

995
00:42:14,880 --> 00:42:18,279
Speaker 3: Incredible last year was incredible. It was a grind. Man.

996
00:42:18,560 --> 00:42:20,239
Speaker 4: In November, you and I look at each other like,

997
00:42:20,440 --> 00:42:22,319
Speaker 4: all right, just do this again because we had our

998
00:42:22,560 --> 00:42:25,239
Speaker 4: early buy so we were playing like twelve straight so

999
00:42:25,800 --> 00:42:29,440
Speaker 4: you just had to keep going and going and going.

1000
00:42:29,880 --> 00:42:32,960
Speaker 4: Uh And that was long, but man, it was fun.

1001
00:42:33,560 --> 00:42:35,120
Speaker 4: And I think that's the way this year can be.

1002
00:42:35,440 --> 00:42:37,239
Speaker 4: Once you get to camp, like all right, buckle up.

1003
00:42:37,239 --> 00:42:39,640
Speaker 4: It's football season until February. And that's the way we

1004
00:42:39,640 --> 00:42:42,600
Speaker 4: gotta start thinking, like januiny no, no, no, we gotta be

1005
00:42:42,640 --> 00:42:44,759
Speaker 4: thinking about this thing ends in February.

1006
00:42:45,040 --> 00:42:47,000
Speaker 3: That's the way things got like that. That's the way

1007
00:42:47,040 --> 00:42:47,759
Speaker 3: we gotta look at.

1008
00:42:47,719 --> 00:42:50,120
Speaker 2: Also got to think that the most important things are

1009
00:42:50,160 --> 00:42:53,880
Speaker 2: the first things, and the first things are crucial to

1010
00:42:53,960 --> 00:42:57,799
Speaker 2: get those right. This is gonna be really interesting for

1011
00:42:57,880 --> 00:43:00,040
Speaker 2: Jamiko Ryans last year. You come in, you try to

1012
00:43:00,080 --> 00:43:02,279
Speaker 2: build something up, and you're still trying to build something

1013
00:43:02,360 --> 00:43:05,720
Speaker 2: up here, of course, but you have all these expectations,

1014
00:43:05,800 --> 00:43:08,200
Speaker 2: and I think it's harder than ever for teams to

1015
00:43:08,239 --> 00:43:10,520
Speaker 2: tune out the noise. You know, you can't then go

1016
00:43:10,600 --> 00:43:15,080
Speaker 2: back talking to Andre where he was really avoiding newspapers

1017
00:43:15,120 --> 00:43:17,480
Speaker 2: and radio shows and everything when he was in his

1018
00:43:17,480 --> 00:43:20,839
Speaker 2: Heisman campaign. But it was a different era because now

1019
00:43:21,080 --> 00:43:23,240
Speaker 2: just you get push notifications.

1020
00:43:22,600 --> 00:43:23,960
Speaker 1: Popping right to your phone.

1021
00:43:24,080 --> 00:43:25,880
Speaker 3: You walk to the grocery store and somebody's taking a

1022
00:43:25,880 --> 00:43:26,319
Speaker 3: picture of you.

1023
00:43:26,320 --> 00:43:29,080
Speaker 2: Hey man, picture with that picture is everywhere everywhere, I

1024
00:43:29,080 --> 00:43:32,200
Speaker 2: mean before the smartphone taking a picture and you got

1025
00:43:32,200 --> 00:43:32,640
Speaker 2: a camera.

1026
00:43:32,840 --> 00:43:34,960
Speaker 1: No, all right, well I guess no picture. I mean,

1027
00:43:35,120 --> 00:43:36,960
Speaker 1: it's it's hard to remember that.

1028
00:43:37,280 --> 00:43:39,919
Speaker 2: Yeah, and kids today are growing up in an era

1029
00:43:40,040 --> 00:43:44,080
Speaker 2: where you can't imagine not having a camera with you

1030
00:43:44,640 --> 00:43:46,399
Speaker 2: and video camera at all times.

1031
00:43:46,440 --> 00:43:48,960
Speaker 4: And you're right, it puts that much more pressure every

1032
00:43:49,040 --> 00:43:52,839
Speaker 4: single week, and especially with what's been done this offseason

1033
00:43:52,880 --> 00:43:57,200
Speaker 4: with adding Daniel Hunter, adding Asease, resigning Dalton, bringing to

1034
00:43:57,280 --> 00:44:01,080
Speaker 4: Joe Mixon trading for digs. All these names that people

1035
00:44:01,280 --> 00:44:03,680
Speaker 4: know not only here in Houston but throughout the league

1036
00:44:03,960 --> 00:44:04,359
Speaker 4: that are.

1037
00:44:04,280 --> 00:44:07,920
Speaker 3: Now all in Houston. It's it's ramping up the pressure

1038
00:44:07,920 --> 00:44:08,600
Speaker 3: wherever you go.

1039
00:44:08,760 --> 00:44:10,839
Speaker 4: I mean, you know, South said it last night when

1040
00:44:10,840 --> 00:44:12,000
Speaker 4: I was talking to him.

1041
00:44:12,440 --> 00:44:13,040
Speaker 3: I put you.

1042
00:44:12,960 --> 00:44:16,239
Speaker 4: Guys in that category right behind Kansas City and Baltimore.

1043
00:44:16,840 --> 00:44:20,360
Speaker 3: Like, why STU you? We were thirty first in power rankings.

1044
00:44:19,960 --> 00:44:21,759
Speaker 2: So I mean, I think so he just dropped the

1045
00:44:21,800 --> 00:44:23,880
Speaker 2: Bills down because of what they going.

1046
00:44:23,760 --> 00:44:26,319
Speaker 4: To got the bills with US and the Bengals, Oh,

1047
00:44:26,320 --> 00:44:28,399
Speaker 4: we're looking at kind of second tiers like first tier

1048
00:44:28,520 --> 00:44:31,160
Speaker 4: Kansas City, Baltimore that weren't that kind of we're that

1049
00:44:31,320 --> 00:44:31,919
Speaker 4: second tier.

1050
00:44:32,200 --> 00:44:32,680
Speaker 1: I get it.

1051
00:44:32,719 --> 00:44:34,759
Speaker 3: Bill's Bengals and US get it.

1052
00:44:34,920 --> 00:44:37,719
Speaker 4: I don't disagree with him, I really don't.

1053
00:44:38,320 --> 00:44:41,359
Speaker 2: But it's wild and surreal and compare to last year,

1054
00:44:41,840 --> 00:44:44,040
Speaker 2: I know, but it's this time last.

1055
00:44:43,880 --> 00:44:45,920
Speaker 3: Year we're looking at thirty first in the power rankings.

1056
00:44:45,920 --> 00:44:47,360
Speaker 3: So the team worse than US was Arizona.

1057
00:44:47,520 --> 00:44:49,960
Speaker 1: But it's important to remember everything that went into it because.

1058
00:44:49,800 --> 00:44:54,759
Speaker 2: Exactly the regular with a win or go home scenario

1059
00:44:55,680 --> 00:44:56,080
Speaker 2: and what.

1060
00:44:56,040 --> 00:44:56,560
Speaker 1: If you lose.

1061
00:44:56,920 --> 00:44:58,720
Speaker 2: Look, they didn't lose that game. What if you lost

1062
00:44:58,719 --> 00:45:01,200
Speaker 2: that game though, how you feel right now? You're nine

1063
00:45:01,280 --> 00:45:03,720
Speaker 2: and eight, but you'd feel great about having a winning season.

1064
00:45:03,760 --> 00:45:05,960
Speaker 2: Just too bad you couldn't beat the Colts in the clutch.

1065
00:45:06,239 --> 00:45:07,480
Speaker 2: But they did beat the Colts.

1066
00:45:07,239 --> 00:45:07,720
Speaker 1: In the clutch.

1067
00:45:07,800 --> 00:45:09,960
Speaker 4: So I like watching the behind the scenes stuff. The

1068
00:45:10,000 --> 00:45:12,880
Speaker 4: Colts do a pretty good job with their behind the scenes. Like, yeah,

1069
00:45:13,000 --> 00:45:14,359
Speaker 4: you know, I can't remember that building the Colts.

1070
00:45:14,360 --> 00:45:15,200
Speaker 3: I think it is what they call them.

1071
00:45:15,320 --> 00:45:18,880
Speaker 4: So the first the first episode, they flash ut Lucas

1072
00:45:18,880 --> 00:45:22,239
Speaker 4: oil and then it says January sixth, twenty twenty four.

1073
00:45:22,719 --> 00:45:24,600
Speaker 3: Ooh, and I'm like, oh, I know that date.

1074
00:45:25,160 --> 00:45:27,359
Speaker 4: And immediately the next shot they show is the forest

1075
00:45:27,400 --> 00:45:29,680
Speaker 4: Buckner on the sideline and you see him go there,

1076
00:45:29,680 --> 00:45:32,359
Speaker 4: it is, there, it is. And then Goodson drops the ball.

1077
00:45:33,040 --> 00:45:35,279
Speaker 4: They show that, and they don't show him dropping the ball,

1078
00:45:35,280 --> 00:45:37,759
Speaker 4: but they you see the reaction on the sideline right,

1079
00:45:37,800 --> 00:45:39,840
Speaker 4: and I just went this is awesome.

1080
00:45:40,200 --> 00:45:42,359
Speaker 3: And so in the locker room you can just see,

1081
00:45:42,360 --> 00:45:42,880
Speaker 3: you know, them.

1082
00:45:42,760 --> 00:45:45,640
Speaker 4: Dealing with that loss, and I'm like, there was so

1083
00:45:45,880 --> 00:45:48,879
Speaker 4: much joy in the other locker room. There was I mean,

1084
00:45:48,960 --> 00:45:51,840
Speaker 4: I've never been around more joy after a game. It

1085
00:45:51,880 --> 00:45:55,120
Speaker 4: was incredible and to experience that and then go, you

1086
00:45:55,160 --> 00:45:57,879
Speaker 4: know what, We're we're better. You guys had your shot.

1087
00:45:58,000 --> 00:45:59,960
Speaker 4: That's the way we got to think. You guys had

1088
00:46:00,120 --> 00:46:02,759
Speaker 4: your shot. We're now we're light years away from you guys.

1089
00:46:02,840 --> 00:46:05,600
Speaker 4: I fear the Colts still, but that's the way we

1090
00:46:05,719 --> 00:46:10,000
Speaker 4: have to think, is that we're moving beyond the Colts

1091
00:46:10,040 --> 00:46:10,920
Speaker 4: being in our rearview.

1092
00:46:11,000 --> 00:46:14,520
Speaker 2: It's respect everybody because they're on your schedule twice so

1093
00:46:15,320 --> 00:46:17,480
Speaker 2: and I know you know that, I know you know that.
