1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:04,080
Speaker 1: Hello, Texans, Welcome to the program, and we are gonna

2
00:00:04,080 --> 00:00:07,360
Speaker 1: have some fun tonight because it is fourth of July

3
00:00:07,640 --> 00:00:11,840
Speaker 1: eve and the General is with us, which always makes

4
00:00:11,840 --> 00:00:14,800
Speaker 1: it fun. Mark Vandermer and John Harris with you. Everybody's

5
00:00:14,840 --> 00:00:17,400
Speaker 1: all over the place because it's summer, but we're all

6
00:00:17,440 --> 00:00:21,959
Speaker 1: together here huddled up on the radio, ready to roll.

7
00:00:22,040 --> 00:00:25,880
Speaker 1: All right, let's get started, gentlemen. And John McClain. First

8
00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:27,520
Speaker 1: of all, how's it going. I haven't taught to you,

9
00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:30,200
Speaker 1: so you tell us how how have you been? What's

10
00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:30,640
Speaker 1: going on?

11
00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:33,159
Speaker 2: Everything's great, Thank you for asking.

12
00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:37,360
Speaker 1: Okay, that's pretty good. That's establishing contact right there. What

13
00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:39,240
Speaker 1: about you, Johnny, because you and I are in different

14
00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:41,560
Speaker 1: places tonight, although on the air in the same place.

15
00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:43,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm on the West coast.

16
00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:48,040
Speaker 4: Still a little snaff who at the rental car place

17
00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:51,040
Speaker 4: kept me from driving home, so I'm actually flying home

18
00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:51,720
Speaker 4: on Saturday.

19
00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:54,880
Speaker 3: So it's it's all good. You know. Los Angeles is

20
00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:56,800
Speaker 3: a little different beast. And you know, the.

21
00:00:57,040 --> 00:00:59,120
Speaker 4: Interesting thing was is I've been I've never been to

22
00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:03,800
Speaker 4: a Dodgers game, and ironically tomorrow night they play the

23
00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:07,440
Speaker 4: Houston Astros at Dodger Stadium and I am doing all

24
00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:09,080
Speaker 4: I can to try and get to that game on

25
00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:10,520
Speaker 4: July fourth, because they've got.

26
00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:12,480
Speaker 3: A big fireworks display afterwards.

27
00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:14,920
Speaker 4: So I'm actually trying to go through my daughter's connections

28
00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:17,520
Speaker 4: to see Astros Dodgers, which will be kind of interesting

29
00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:19,640
Speaker 4: to be out in LA to see the response the

30
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:22,640
Speaker 4: Astros get on Friday night. So we're working on that,

31
00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:24,520
Speaker 4: but obviously we've got a show and radio to do

32
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:25,440
Speaker 4: the next couple of days.

33
00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:29,480
Speaker 1: Chavez Ravine very nice. I would love to go. I've

34
00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:31,440
Speaker 1: never been out there, so that would be a lot

35
00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:31,880
Speaker 1: of fun.

36
00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:32,360
Speaker 3: All right.

37
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:35,320
Speaker 1: I want to start here because getting off to a

38
00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:38,120
Speaker 1: good start is very important, and I feel like this

39
00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:40,560
Speaker 1: shows off to a pretty decent start. But the Texans

40
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:42,360
Speaker 1: need to get off to a great start in the

41
00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:45,680
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five campaign, and they begin with the Rams

42
00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:48,960
Speaker 1: the Bucks, and I'll get to the rest of it later.

43
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:51,800
Speaker 1: Let's just start with weeks one and two, opening against

44
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:55,920
Speaker 1: NFC opponents, with the Rams on the road and the

45
00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:58,080
Speaker 1: Bucks at home. But I just want to get your

46
00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:02,080
Speaker 1: flavor of this general because we've been talking to AFC

47
00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:05,040
Speaker 1: South play by play men in the last few days,

48
00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:07,040
Speaker 1: and we had two of them on last night. But

49
00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:08,760
Speaker 1: let's start with the Rams. How do you think the

50
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:11,280
Speaker 1: Texans stack up with the Rams? A team that went

51
00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:13,440
Speaker 1: to Philadelphia lost in the playoffs.

52
00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:15,960
Speaker 5: They got a lot going for them right now. What

53
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:18,040
Speaker 5: do you think of that matchup to begin the season?

54
00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:21,480
Speaker 6: I think Tagsans will lose that game because the Rams

55
00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:24,720
Speaker 6: have one of the best defensive lines in the NFL.

56
00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:28,360
Speaker 6: They have the last two defensive rookies of the year

57
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:33,280
Speaker 6: and tackle Goby Turner and in Jared Burst be a

58
00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:34,160
Speaker 6: great test.

59
00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:36,520
Speaker 4: What about you, Johnny, Yeah, I don't know that I

60
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:39,320
Speaker 4: love either one of those matchups, if I'm being honest. However,

61
00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:42,280
Speaker 4: I do think it's been interesting to kind of just

62
00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:46,040
Speaker 4: talk and listen to the offensive lineman that the Texans

63
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:48,880
Speaker 4: have and that they've brought in and what they're trying

64
00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:51,840
Speaker 4: to do. I woke up on I don't know whatever

65
00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:54,160
Speaker 4: day it was Tuesday or Wednesday this week, and I

66
00:02:55,200 --> 00:03:00,239
Speaker 4: went to Instagram and Titus has Titus Howard had put

67
00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:05,520
Speaker 4: out a little short video of essentially Juice Jared Patterson,

68
00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:08,600
Speaker 4: Titus and a few others walking out to the actual

69
00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:13,200
Speaker 4: Texans practice field that they're staying there together and working

70
00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:15,880
Speaker 4: out together. And I think that's one of the key

71
00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:18,880
Speaker 4: things is Lake and Tomlinson told us on radio the night, So, General,

72
00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:22,200
Speaker 4: I'm gonna ask you, you were around in Houston when

73
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:25,600
Speaker 4: the Oilers had Muchak Matthews and that offensive line was

74
00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:28,240
Speaker 4: so good, it was so talented, but it was so together.

75
00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:31,760
Speaker 4: How big a factor is that part, General, that they're

76
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:35,600
Speaker 4: able to literally come together and think more as a

77
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:38,400
Speaker 4: unit as opposed to five independent contractors.

78
00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:40,880
Speaker 6: It's more important than any area on a team, the

79
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:45,880
Speaker 6: offensive line, which requires so much communication before the ball

80
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:48,360
Speaker 6: is snapped. When the ball is snapped and they're making

81
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:53,520
Speaker 6: adjustments based on teams running stunts and loops and guys

82
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:57,760
Speaker 6: dropping off into coverage, it has to be good. They

83
00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:00,640
Speaker 6: have to be able to communicate, to be able to

84
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:03,760
Speaker 6: communicate and the right make the right decisions. And when

85
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:07,360
Speaker 6: you got all new guys, so many new guys, it's difficult.

86
00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:10,640
Speaker 6: So I think it's great that they're spending as much

87
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:15,640
Speaker 6: time as they can in together an off season. And

88
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:20,560
Speaker 6: I think, you know, I keep I keep hearing about

89
00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:25,479
Speaker 6: what a great job the defensive lineman have done rushing

90
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:28,200
Speaker 6: against the offensive lineman, And I say, how can you

91
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:31,640
Speaker 6: know something like that? They're not in pads the offensive

92
00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:34,479
Speaker 6: line can't even breathe on them. Now, when they put

93
00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:36,919
Speaker 6: on pads and we watch them go down in the

94
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:39,880
Speaker 6: corner and the lineman go against each other, that's going

95
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:41,599
Speaker 6: to be a better barometer. And then of course the

96
00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:45,320
Speaker 6: joint practices will be the best of all. And I'll say,

97
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:48,400
Speaker 6: right now, I'm so envious of you guys getting to

98
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:51,440
Speaker 6: go back to West Virginia man on men and so

99
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:54,960
Speaker 6: that's when we'll tell more about these guys. But right

100
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:58,880
Speaker 6: now it's all mental and they can't spend too much

101
00:04:58,960 --> 00:04:59,719
Speaker 6: time together.

102
00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:04,320
Speaker 1: I find that I'm seeing a lot of these posts

103
00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:07,479
Speaker 1: seeing the d Beads working out in Puerto Rico.

104
00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:09,279
Speaker 5: Was that just the dbs?

105
00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:12,000
Speaker 1: But I'm seeing guys all over the place from this

106
00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:15,600
Speaker 1: squad being together in different groups. So it's not like

107
00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:19,440
Speaker 1: you have the entire ninety man roster in one place

108
00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:23,520
Speaker 1: in this offseason, but CJ throwing the guys and Tank

109
00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:26,320
Speaker 1: Deell working out. I've been really pleased with a lot

110
00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:29,920
Speaker 1: of the so called desert period pieces I'm seeing on

111
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:32,880
Speaker 1: social media, so that's good. I feel like there is

112
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:35,680
Speaker 1: a togetherness to this team general. I don't think we're

113
00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:37,680
Speaker 1: gonna get it the way I'm Johnny brought up his

114
00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:41,120
Speaker 1: oiler reference with the offensive line and how talented that

115
00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:43,760
Speaker 1: group was with two Hall of Famers on it. But

116
00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:47,000
Speaker 1: it's gonna be hard to get that bum Phillips type togetherness.

117
00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:49,360
Speaker 1: Maybe that'll never happen again in the NFL the way

118
00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:52,960
Speaker 1: it's structured right now. But I find that this group

119
00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:55,599
Speaker 1: has some sort of X factor about it with Demiko

120
00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:58,520
Speaker 1: Ryans coaching, and maybe it's something we didn't even see

121
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:01,560
Speaker 1: in the Gary Kubiak when that group was so together.

122
00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:05,560
Speaker 1: What do you think of this group's togetherness versus the

123
00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:09,320
Speaker 1: Kubiak group togetherness which was pretty high at the time

124
00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:13,000
Speaker 1: when you had Shob and Eric Winston and those guys

125
00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:17,160
Speaker 1: Owen Daniels hanging out together a lot. You see pictures

126
00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:19,520
Speaker 1: from around town them at various restaurants.

127
00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:22,640
Speaker 5: But what do you think comparatively so far, Kubia got.

128
00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:25,000
Speaker 6: The best offensive line in the history of this organization.

129
00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:29,720
Speaker 6: You remember the year they had they missed one starter,

130
00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:32,640
Speaker 6: missed one game. Can you imagine if they were able

131
00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:35,040
Speaker 6: to pull that off this year. Now, that's not going

132
00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:38,240
Speaker 6: to happen because they have so many new guys. It's

133
00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:41,120
Speaker 6: going to be like checkers. You're just moving people all

134
00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:43,839
Speaker 6: over the place till you get the right combination, and

135
00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:47,159
Speaker 6: that may be several games in the regular season before

136
00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:50,679
Speaker 6: Nick Cayley and line coach Ko Popovich and of course

137
00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:55,080
Speaker 6: to Miko determined these our best five guys. But man,

138
00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:57,680
Speaker 6: if the think it'd be healthy. This team didn't have

139
00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:00,920
Speaker 6: as many injuries as two years ago, and the line

140
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:04,000
Speaker 6: didn't and yet the line played better two years ago,

141
00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:08,400
Speaker 6: including with guys there were a bunch of nobodies than

142
00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:11,840
Speaker 6: the line did last year when it was relatively healthy.

143
00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:15,960
Speaker 6: So I if they could, if they can have an

144
00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:19,520
Speaker 6: offensive line that could be as good as that woe

145
00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:23,160
Speaker 6: Edward was it. Dwayne Brown and Newton and Waite Smith

146
00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:28,520
Speaker 6: and Chris Myers and Brandon Brooks were the starters, and

147
00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:31,240
Speaker 6: plus you know they had a great running back too

148
00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:33,800
Speaker 6: that helped them. And I think this running game is

149
00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:35,840
Speaker 6: going to be really good. I think we're going to

150
00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:38,640
Speaker 6: see more gap runs than we did in the past.

151
00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:43,400
Speaker 6: But until the line proves that it can show improvement

152
00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:45,960
Speaker 6: over last season, none of us is going to know

153
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:49,280
Speaker 6: for sure, and all the togetherness in the world is

154
00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:51,800
Speaker 6: not going to happen, is not going to help unless

155
00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:53,040
Speaker 6: they can do it on the field.

156
00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:56,600
Speaker 4: General Mark started off the show asking about the Rams

157
00:07:56,600 --> 00:08:00,520
Speaker 4: and the Bucks starting off the season and the buye

158
00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:02,880
Speaker 4: is early, but I always like talking about the first half,

159
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:06,280
Speaker 4: that being before the by the second half. What do

160
00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:10,160
Speaker 4: you think it would say about this Texans team? And

161
00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:12,360
Speaker 4: I know it would be early in the year, but

162
00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:14,920
Speaker 4: if they were to go to Baltimore and get a

163
00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:18,280
Speaker 4: win at Baltimore in Week five, what do you think

164
00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:22,160
Speaker 4: that would say about this particular Texans team. It's never

165
00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:25,360
Speaker 4: beaten the Ravens in Baltimore. They've never beaten the Lamar

166
00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:30,000
Speaker 4: Jackson led Ravens team. They've gotten just hammered the last

167
00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:33,120
Speaker 4: few times. I mean, the only game I remember close

168
00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:35,200
Speaker 4: against the Ravens was a Monday night er with Tom

169
00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:39,480
Speaker 4: Savage and Joe Flacco at quarterback. And what does it

170
00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:41,880
Speaker 4: say or what would it say if the Texans were

171
00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:45,000
Speaker 4: able to go to Baltimore and get a win kind

172
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:47,319
Speaker 4: of get that, you know, that monkey off their back,

173
00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:49,680
Speaker 4: if you will beating a really good team in their

174
00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:52,480
Speaker 4: building on the road. What would you think if they

175
00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:54,160
Speaker 4: were able to do that in Week five? How much

176
00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:55,160
Speaker 4: do that mean to the season.

177
00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:59,640
Speaker 6: Remember the last time they beat Baltimore when Baltimore's offensive

178
00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:02,839
Speaker 6: cord was Gary Kubiak. They beat him here those before

179
00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:05,800
Speaker 6: Lamar Jackson. Of course, I think if they were to

180
00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:08,880
Speaker 6: beat Baltimore up there, which I would never predict, but

181
00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:12,760
Speaker 6: if they could, it would make everybody take them seriously.

182
00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:16,800
Speaker 6: They're taking them seriously now. Is dominating the AFC South?

183
00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:19,360
Speaker 6: You know Demiko won't want to hear that. The fact

184
00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:23,360
Speaker 6: is they should dominate THEFC South. The key is can

185
00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:27,160
Speaker 6: they be good enough to get the divisional playoff game

186
00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:30,480
Speaker 6: at home? Or can they win a divisional playoff game

187
00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:32,920
Speaker 6: on the road for the first time in team history.

188
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:35,960
Speaker 6: If they could beat Baltimore on the road, that would

189
00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:40,640
Speaker 6: show this team is capable of beating any team, anytime, anywhere.

190
00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:45,640
Speaker 1: General it broke this week that the league is not

191
00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:49,440
Speaker 1: expected to engage in any talks with the NFLPA until

192
00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:53,040
Speaker 1: next year. About an eighteen game regular season. They'd have

193
00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:56,880
Speaker 1: to crank open the CBA and get that done or

194
00:09:57,679 --> 00:10:00,800
Speaker 1: talk about getting it done. Your thoughts on that when

195
00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:03,280
Speaker 1: it's gonna happen, how it's gonna happen, what it will

196
00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:05,719
Speaker 1: be like, and what the players are really gonna want

197
00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:08,520
Speaker 1: The NFLPA is really gonna want to make the eighteen

198
00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:11,200
Speaker 1: game regular season schedule happen.

199
00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:15,040
Speaker 6: The players are being paid more money than they've ever

200
00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:19,120
Speaker 6: been paid, but in their negotiations for collective Barty and Greenbuts,

201
00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:22,600
Speaker 6: they've basically got more time off and the offseason and

202
00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:29,400
Speaker 6: easier practices during the season at the.

203
00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:28,920
Speaker 2: Instead of money.

204
00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:32,480
Speaker 6: Where basically, you know, the owners run the NFL, the

205
00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:37,880
Speaker 6: Union runs baseball, the players run the NBA, and it's

206
00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:42,480
Speaker 6: never gonna change here. And I think this, if you

207
00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:46,160
Speaker 6: are going to they're gonna go to eighteen games. Everybody's

208
00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:49,680
Speaker 6: gonna make more money because of it. But players have

209
00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:52,840
Speaker 6: to have two by weeks, and it doesn't matter when

210
00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:55,600
Speaker 6: the super Bowl is played. They can play the super

211
00:10:55,640 --> 00:11:00,000
Speaker 6: Bowl opening day of the Major League Baseball season in April,

212
00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:02,920
Speaker 6: and the NFL and the super Bowl is going to dominate,

213
00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:06,800
Speaker 6: and cities have to keep all of February open, So

214
00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:10,320
Speaker 6: they just move the super Bowl back another week, give

215
00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:13,880
Speaker 6: them two weeks off in there, and then they will

216
00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:18,960
Speaker 6: have two games and then probably add another joint practice.

217
00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:22,440
Speaker 6: And coaches love joint practices more in preseason games because

218
00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:27,240
Speaker 6: they can control orchestrate everything. They're shorter and they're sweeter,

219
00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:30,520
Speaker 6: and so I think that's what we're headed for two

220
00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:36,360
Speaker 6: preseason games. Some teams will do three joint practices and

221
00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:39,200
Speaker 6: we'll have two by weeks. That's the least they can

222
00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:42,360
Speaker 6: do for the players. It's funny they legislate to help

223
00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:46,560
Speaker 6: with injuries and they profess that they're just so worried

224
00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:49,079
Speaker 6: about players health. Yet they're going to have to play

225
00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:51,959
Speaker 6: an extra game. But the players will do it because

226
00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:54,400
Speaker 6: they're going to make so much more money. And it's

227
00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:55,720
Speaker 6: all about the money.

228
00:11:56,840 --> 00:11:58,800
Speaker 4: It is definitely all about the money, and it's all

229
00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:02,480
Speaker 4: about going all in apparently in Pittsburgh general. I think

230
00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:04,920
Speaker 4: this trade happened a couple of days after we spoke

231
00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:08,760
Speaker 4: last week, John hu Smith and Jalen Ramsey go to

232
00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:13,120
Speaker 4: Pittsburgh from Miami. Miami gets Mika Fitzpatrick, and I know

233
00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:15,680
Speaker 4: that's a big piece for Pittsburgh to be losing, but

234
00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:21,440
Speaker 4: that now means Aaron Rodgers, Darius Slay, Dk Metcalf, essentially

235
00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:25,840
Speaker 4: the twenty twenty All Pro team now in Pittsburgh. How

236
00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:29,000
Speaker 4: do you think think this experiment goes now that the

237
00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:33,280
Speaker 4: Pittsburgh Steelers have claimed essentially without saying it, we are

238
00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:36,280
Speaker 4: all in better get TJ. Watt signed, but Other than that,

239
00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:38,800
Speaker 4: your thoughts about the Steelers seemingly pushing all their chips

240
00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:39,559
Speaker 4: in the middle of the table.

241
00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:43,520
Speaker 6: Well, first of all, Ramsey didn't play as well as

242
00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:46,280
Speaker 6: he has. Fitzpatrick didn't play as well as he has,

243
00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:49,280
Speaker 6: So it worked out well for both teams because I

244
00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:52,599
Speaker 6: think they had run out of patience with those two players.

245
00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:55,520
Speaker 6: The key with Johns Smaiths other than his time in

246
00:12:55,559 --> 00:12:59,920
Speaker 6: New England, which was disastrous, and we in Houston watch

247
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:03,079
Speaker 6: him become a really good receiver. He's not a legitimate

248
00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:06,080
Speaker 6: tight end. He's like an h backer big receiver, but

249
00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:09,840
Speaker 6: he had I think eighty eight catches last season. Miami

250
00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:13,200
Speaker 6: thinks it's going to replace him with Darren Waller. Dust

251
00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:15,680
Speaker 6: In the cobwebs off of him hadn't had a good

252
00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:21,760
Speaker 6: season since Shawn Watson's last good season. That would be

253
00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:25,960
Speaker 6: twenty twenty Pittsburg. If it doesn't work out with Rogers,

254
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:28,840
Speaker 6: next year will be a very deep quarterback draft like

255
00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:29,920
Speaker 6: it was last year.

256
00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:31,720
Speaker 2: It'll be the time to get one.

257
00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:35,720
Speaker 6: And this is not the style that the Steelers have used.

258
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:39,160
Speaker 6: But they're making their season more interesting. Will they be

259
00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:41,560
Speaker 6: better than last year? They may get in the playoffs.

260
00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:45,400
Speaker 6: I think they're wildcard, the tender, third best in that division,

261
00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:49,000
Speaker 6: and all of the playoff caliber other in Cleveland, of course,

262
00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:52,240
Speaker 6: which could have the first overall picking the draft. But

263
00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:54,480
Speaker 6: I kind of like what the Steelers are doing.

264
00:13:55,480 --> 00:13:58,800
Speaker 1: I guess I could say I like it. I'm going

265
00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:02,240
Speaker 1: to put it this way because friends texted me, oh Man,

266
00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:04,320
Speaker 1: Steelers all in watch this.

267
00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:06,640
Speaker 5: I think these moves are.

268
00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:09,440
Speaker 1: Necessary to get them back to where they were last year,

269
00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:11,880
Speaker 1: which is a playoff team. I don't know if it

270
00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:13,679
Speaker 1: does much more for them. I don't know if i'd

271
00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:16,000
Speaker 1: picked them ahead of Cincinnati because of this. I know

272
00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:18,520
Speaker 1: Cincinnati still got defensive issues, but they still have Joe

273
00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:20,400
Speaker 1: Burrow as well, and they were going pretty good at

274
00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:21,800
Speaker 1: the end. If they can get cooking the way they

275
00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:24,400
Speaker 1: were at the end in the beginning, they're gonna have

276
00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:26,880
Speaker 1: a really good season. So I don't know what kind

277
00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:28,600
Speaker 1: of effect it's gonna have, but we can talk about

278
00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:29,680
Speaker 1: that more at another time.

279
00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:31,960
Speaker 5: I want to do this, all right, Johnny.

280
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:34,800
Speaker 1: I've not finished Cobra Kai, but but.

281
00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:36,000
Speaker 5: It brought to mind.

282
00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:39,240
Speaker 1: And this is not a spoiler really, because they reference

283
00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:43,880
Speaker 1: sports movie scenes and other sports movies within the Cobra

284
00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:47,040
Speaker 1: Kai series, and they have one from Rocky Too, which

285
00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:49,920
Speaker 1: is really good. But you guys, think about this, what

286
00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:53,080
Speaker 1: are your favorite scenes or the best scenes not the

287
00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:58,320
Speaker 1: best sports movies, but the best scenes within sports movies

288
00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:01,560
Speaker 1: that are maybe to five all time. And this could

289
00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:04,640
Speaker 1: obviously it is subjective. It could be for you personally,

290
00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:07,160
Speaker 1: or it could be what you feel is objectively the

291
00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:09,800
Speaker 1: best in general. I'm gonna go first here and it's

292
00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:12,760
Speaker 1: a movie you are in called The Rookie, And I

293
00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:15,680
Speaker 1: think I've got two scenes from The Rookie that are

294
00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:17,440
Speaker 1: just outstanding.

295
00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:21,760
Speaker 5: That are not under the radar. Yeah. The press box

296
00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:23,320
Speaker 5: where you appear is just so riveting.

297
00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:25,800
Speaker 1: It's like, oh my gosh, they just nailed a sports

298
00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:28,360
Speaker 1: media personality with that actor, whoever he might be.

299
00:15:28,440 --> 00:15:29,640
Speaker 5: His name is John McClain.

300
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:33,200
Speaker 1: But the one where he throws it by the radar

301
00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:37,600
Speaker 1: gun on the road and he thinks he threw seventy

302
00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:42,840
Speaker 1: five because the actual digit is blinking. He walks by

303
00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:45,360
Speaker 1: it it's blinking, and you see that he really through

304
00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:47,400
Speaker 1: ninety five and he doesn't even know it. He doesn't

305
00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:49,840
Speaker 1: know it until he gets to the tryout and he's

306
00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:52,400
Speaker 1: throwing ninety five. And to me, the Tryout is equally

307
00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:54,200
Speaker 1: as good as scene in The Rookie. Do you have

308
00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:57,800
Speaker 1: any phase from sports movies that you like, and Johnny,

309
00:15:57,800 --> 00:16:00,080
Speaker 1: I know you have an opinion on this as well.

310
00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:02,680
Speaker 6: First of all, my favorite scene from The Rookie was

311
00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:05,840
Speaker 6: when and that was not about baseball. It was about

312
00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:09,920
Speaker 6: his son's relationship with his dad, Dennis Quay's relationship with

313
00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:13,040
Speaker 6: Brian Cox, and it was not good. And then after

314
00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:16,640
Speaker 6: the game in Arlington where Brian Cox came up to

315
00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:19,440
Speaker 6: see his son play and they were outside the locker

316
00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:23,640
Speaker 6: room and Quaid gave him the baseball that he won

317
00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:25,800
Speaker 6: with and Brian Cox took it.

318
00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:27,240
Speaker 2: If there was if you.

319
00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:31,760
Speaker 6: Didn't have if you didn't have watery eyes at that scene,

320
00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:34,760
Speaker 6: I thought it was tremendous and the best scene I

321
00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:35,640
Speaker 6: have ever seen.

322
00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:38,800
Speaker 2: Is the best sports movie I have ever seen, and

323
00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:39,840
Speaker 2: I have to tell you why.

324
00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:43,440
Speaker 6: In nineteen seventy one, the original Brian Song Movie of

325
00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:47,440
Speaker 6: the Week, Gail Sayers, Brian Piccolough, Billy d Williams and

326
00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:50,920
Speaker 6: James Cohn. And at the end of it, after Piccolo

327
00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:54,560
Speaker 6: died a cancer, Billy D Williams as Gail Sayers asked

328
00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:57,480
Speaker 6: Jack Warden as George allis, can I tell the team?

329
00:16:57,520 --> 00:17:00,520
Speaker 6: And he said yes, And Billy D. Williams walks up

330
00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:02,960
Speaker 6: in front of the room and he says, Brian Piccolow

331
00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:03,440
Speaker 6: is dead.

332
00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:05,320
Speaker 2: I love Brian Piccolo. Yes.

333
00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:08,119
Speaker 6: So I was at a Hall Pro Football Hall of

334
00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:11,400
Speaker 6: Fame luncheon that they have every year for the new inductees,

335
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:16,320
Speaker 6: and Raynichke had died and he was the They named

336
00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:20,920
Speaker 6: the luncheon after him, announced it then and he said

337
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:23,040
Speaker 6: and he said it'd be forever. No was the Ray

338
00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:28,080
Speaker 6: Ditchkey Memorial luncheon. Gil Sayers got up out of his table.

339
00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:30,240
Speaker 6: He walked to the front of the room to the

340
00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:33,840
Speaker 6: dais and he said, rayn Inchke is dead.

341
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:37,400
Speaker 2: And I loved Raynitchke. I saw that in.

342
00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:40,600
Speaker 6: Person, and I saw that in the movies. It turned

343
00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:43,240
Speaker 6: out they were bitter enemies when they played for the

344
00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:46,000
Speaker 6: Bears and Packers, but through all their years of doing

345
00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:49,159
Speaker 6: charity stuff for the Hall of Fame, they'd become best friends.

346
00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:52,520
Speaker 3: Oh that's okay, tough to talk my Yeah.

347
00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:55,600
Speaker 4: I met Nitschke one time, and I well, I met

348
00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:57,879
Speaker 4: Nitschke when I was a kid. I was like eight

349
00:17:57,960 --> 00:18:00,879
Speaker 4: years old and I was We were at a hotel

350
00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:03,439
Speaker 4: in Green Bay and we were just kind of vacationing

351
00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:05,320
Speaker 4: with a few friends. We just drove the forty five

352
00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:08,119
Speaker 4: minutes to Green Bay, and I remember my dad and

353
00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:10,679
Speaker 4: just everything that I had seen and heard like Nizchgie was.

354
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:13,040
Speaker 4: He was a bad dude and he didn't want to

355
00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:14,679
Speaker 4: mess with him. And we saw him at the pool

356
00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:17,720
Speaker 4: and my dad was like, go get his all. I'm

357
00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:21,240
Speaker 4: scared as I was scared as all get out of Nizgi. Eventually,

358
00:18:21,240 --> 00:18:22,919
Speaker 4: I can't work came after you. He couldn't have been

359
00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:25,320
Speaker 4: the nicest guy. I mean, he was the nicest guy.

360
00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:26,880
Speaker 3: That I ever met him. He was incredible.

361
00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:28,600
Speaker 4: It was like, oh yeah, son, I'll sign up for

362
00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:30,240
Speaker 4: you talk to me for a couple of minutes. And

363
00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:32,439
Speaker 4: I never forgot that. I mean, he was just he

364
00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:34,440
Speaker 4: was fantastic on the field. He was a terror, which

365
00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:37,320
Speaker 4: leads me to mine. There are two of them. Number

366
00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:41,240
Speaker 4: one is one that we could never play on the radio,

367
00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:44,200
Speaker 4: but it's from one of my favorite movies, the program

368
00:18:45,040 --> 00:18:48,560
Speaker 4: Alvin Mackett linebacker uh talks a little trash to the

369
00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:54,000
Speaker 4: Mississippi State running back and it is absolutely glorious. Now

370
00:18:54,119 --> 00:18:56,520
Speaker 4: it is not for radio. It is not for young people,

371
00:18:57,040 --> 00:19:00,520
Speaker 4: but it was absolutely the best trash talk ever. The

372
00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:04,639
Speaker 4: other one comes from one of my favorite movies, and

373
00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:07,560
Speaker 4: it's the one event that I know in my lifetime,

374
00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:11,439
Speaker 4: my guess is, will never be replicated, and that was

375
00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:17,000
Speaker 4: the nineteen eighty US hockey team beating Russia. Herb Brooks

376
00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:22,280
Speaker 4: aka Kurt Russell giving the speech to his his Olympic

377
00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:25,119
Speaker 4: hockey players before they were to take on Russia. I

378
00:19:25,119 --> 00:19:29,719
Speaker 4: could watch that a thousand times over that. Those are

379
00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:30,320
Speaker 4: the two for me.

380
00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:37,119
Speaker 6: What about this one Field's dreams. Yeah, Kevin Kosner, pay eight, Dad,

381
00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:39,119
Speaker 6: have a catch. I've never heard it put like that,

382
00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:41,840
Speaker 6: have a catch down here. It was always play catch

383
00:19:42,119 --> 00:19:44,320
Speaker 6: and he got to play catch with his dad coming

384
00:19:44,359 --> 00:19:45,080
Speaker 6: out of the corn.

385
00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:47,040
Speaker 3: That was That was huge.

386
00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:49,280
Speaker 5: I mean, that's the That was Kevin cost.

387
00:19:49,119 --> 00:19:51,280
Speaker 6: And Susan Sarandon, But we won't talk.

388
00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:55,800
Speaker 4: About well, the best scene of that general is when

389
00:19:55,840 --> 00:19:58,719
Speaker 4: they're sitting and she says she's got to pick and choose,

390
00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:02,840
Speaker 4: and Costner gets up and starts to walk away, and

391
00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:05,000
Speaker 4: she's like, well, what do you believe in? And he

392
00:20:05,119 --> 00:20:07,520
Speaker 4: goes through this litany of things that he believes in.

393
00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:09,640
Speaker 4: It's one of the best soliloquies in a movie there

394
00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:13,800
Speaker 4: ever is before Obviously there is a Susan Tarandan and

395
00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:15,000
Speaker 4: Kevin Costner's seen.

396
00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:16,840
Speaker 6: That movie see I Go One More and I Will

397
00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:19,080
Speaker 6: say go Behind, and y'all tell me the movie all

398
00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:20,480
Speaker 6: right in the year were you ready?

399
00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:23,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, just a bit outside.

400
00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:27,200
Speaker 5: That's major league and nineteen eighty seven eighty.

401
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:31,280
Speaker 1: Seven, n okay, well that's late eighties, late eighties nine where.

402
00:20:31,119 --> 00:20:33,720
Speaker 6: He can say something like one line out of a

403
00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:36,320
Speaker 6: movie and everybody knows what it was.

404
00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:38,159
Speaker 2: You know, it's a classic, all right.

405
00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:41,520
Speaker 1: So I've got two categories here, because there is the

406
00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:44,960
Speaker 1: money scene, like Johnny you said, the Kurt Russell speech,

407
00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:49,679
Speaker 1: Herb Brooks pregame us beats the Soviet's awesome. But there

408
00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:52,560
Speaker 1: are subtle scenes within sports movies too, like Rudy when

409
00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:54,560
Speaker 1: he gets carried off the field at the end, my gosh,

410
00:20:54,600 --> 00:20:55,520
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, it.

411
00:20:55,480 --> 00:20:56,440
Speaker 5: Brings me to tears.

412
00:20:56,920 --> 00:21:00,200
Speaker 1: But the scene where he gets the letter where he

413
00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:02,800
Speaker 1: gets accepted to Notre Dame finally after going to Holy

414
00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:07,360
Speaker 1: Cross Junior College, that scene to me is subtle.

415
00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:10,200
Speaker 5: Yet that's really the turning point of the movie.

416
00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:12,960
Speaker 1: Because he gets in at that particular point and I

417
00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:13,760
Speaker 1: think it's amazing.

418
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:16,600
Speaker 5: Remember the Titans. You know, we could talk about.

419
00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:19,280
Speaker 1: The last game or whatever, but the scene where they're

420
00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:24,400
Speaker 1: a training camp at Gettingsburg College and the linebackers are

421
00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:27,080
Speaker 1: like strong side, left side, you know, black guy, white guy,

422
00:21:27,119 --> 00:21:30,520
Speaker 1: and they're finally getting along and that's what brings the

423
00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:34,520
Speaker 1: team together. Then you knew they really had something. I

424
00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:38,240
Speaker 1: think that scene is the subtle money scene of the movie.

425
00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:41,760
Speaker 1: And I love scenes in sports movies like that. Rocky too,

426
00:21:42,119 --> 00:21:44,640
Speaker 1: Adrien in the hospital bed, There's one thing I want

427
00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:47,720
Speaker 1: you to do for me when that one? Was that

428
00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:48,480
Speaker 1: a good impression?

429
00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:50,719
Speaker 3: That one just blows me away.

430
00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:52,480
Speaker 1: You know, you can talk about the fight and everything

431
00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:54,120
Speaker 1: at the end and how it ends in Rocky two,

432
00:21:54,440 --> 00:21:57,600
Speaker 1: But that scene right there, Man, you've followed by the

433
00:21:57,720 --> 00:22:02,080
Speaker 1: workout montage, you know, one of men dozens in Rocky films.

434
00:22:02,119 --> 00:22:05,040
Speaker 1: But man, those are awesome scenes right there. Are you

435
00:22:05,080 --> 00:22:07,000
Speaker 1: guys with me that there are subtle scenes in there

436
00:22:07,040 --> 00:22:09,480
Speaker 1: are obvious? The money scene of the movie.

437
00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:12,120
Speaker 4: Absolutely the one that I thought you were gonna say,

438
00:22:12,119 --> 00:22:15,679
Speaker 4: Mark and I can't remember what his name is, but

439
00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:17,960
Speaker 4: the head coach that gets moved out of the way.

440
00:22:17,840 --> 00:22:18,720
Speaker 3: For Herman Boone.

441
00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:21,480
Speaker 4: He stays on as a defensive coordinator Ghost and he

442
00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:26,840
Speaker 4: realizes Yost and Yost is they're in a game and

443
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:30,520
Speaker 4: every call is going against the Titans, every single one

444
00:22:30,520 --> 00:22:33,040
Speaker 4: of us going against the Titans. And he calls time out,

445
00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:36,120
Speaker 4: he calls his defense over and he basically tells them

446
00:22:36,119 --> 00:22:36,880
Speaker 4: to unleash Hell.

447
00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:38,880
Speaker 3: And I just remember that looking in his eyes.

448
00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:42,720
Speaker 4: I was like, yes, that scene got like that got

449
00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:45,439
Speaker 4: me going because from then on they just you know,

450
00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:48,240
Speaker 4: rampage through that game. But I just remember him you

451
00:22:48,359 --> 00:22:50,600
Speaker 4: on leash Hell. I was like, oh, I was ready

452
00:22:50,600 --> 00:22:52,480
Speaker 4: to run through a wall for that one.

453
00:22:52,520 --> 00:22:55,080
Speaker 3: Remember. Yeah, there are always those little ones, for sure.

454
00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:58,240
Speaker 2: I've got a Rudy story oiler practiced movie.

455
00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:00,840
Speaker 6: Rudy is really big in a lot of them. Tension

456
00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:03,399
Speaker 6: and oilers were good then. And we're on sideline the

457
00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:07,160
Speaker 6: media and there's a David de Lotty, who was a

458
00:23:07,359 --> 00:23:10,399
Speaker 6: radio reporter then now's a real estate mogul walks up

459
00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:12,919
Speaker 6: and he's a little late, and he says to a

460
00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:14,760
Speaker 6: group of us, there's that short guy over there on

461
00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:20,119
Speaker 6: another sideline and Martin Berman goes, that's Rudy. He said, Rudy, Rudy,

462
00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:23,160
Speaker 6: what do you mean Rudy the actor, and he's over

463
00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:25,439
Speaker 6: there and he looks and de Lotti says, no, he

464
00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:28,960
Speaker 6: said it was Rudy, the real Rudy, and de Lotti goes,

465
00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:30,400
Speaker 6: so I got to go over there and talk to him.

466
00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:32,960
Speaker 6: So de Lotti goes around the field because we could

467
00:23:33,040 --> 00:23:36,960
Speaker 6: do this back, then goes up to Rudy, pulls out

468
00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:40,240
Speaker 6: his tape recorder, sticks it up there, shakes hands with

469
00:23:40,280 --> 00:23:43,200
Speaker 6: a guy. Next thing we know, de Lotti's shooting the

470
00:23:43,240 --> 00:23:46,200
Speaker 6: finger at Berman because that wasn't Rudy. Berman just moved up.

471
00:23:47,359 --> 00:23:49,760
Speaker 2: David was so embarrassed.

472
00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:53,520
Speaker 1: Oh gosh, that is beautiful.

473
00:23:54,440 --> 00:23:56,160
Speaker 3: That is so good.

474
00:23:56,440 --> 00:23:59,359
Speaker 1: He played a nice little trick on him. David de Lotti,

475
00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:00,520
Speaker 1: I miss David Delatti.

476
00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:05,320
Speaker 6: Very good already, reporter, but he's doing quite well.

477
00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:06,879
Speaker 3: That's interesting with Rudy.

478
00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:08,600
Speaker 4: As you get a little bit older, I think some

479
00:24:08,640 --> 00:24:10,359
Speaker 4: scenes resonate a little bit more.

480
00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:12,359
Speaker 3: I know when I saw that I was in I

481
00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:13,120
Speaker 3: was a senior in.

482
00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:15,240
Speaker 4: College, and I think Rudy and the program kind of

483
00:24:15,280 --> 00:24:17,960
Speaker 4: came out the same year maybe, And so when I

484
00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:19,800
Speaker 4: watched Rudy, I looked at I looked at it through

485
00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:21,720
Speaker 4: the eyes of being a college.

486
00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:24,080
Speaker 3: You know student, you know, more for Rudy and what

487
00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:24,920
Speaker 3: he had gone through.

488
00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:27,480
Speaker 4: But now I look at it and I look at

489
00:24:27,800 --> 00:24:31,760
Speaker 4: when the dad walks into Notre Dame Stadium and you

490
00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:34,280
Speaker 4: just see the tears in his eyes. Yes, he's like,

491
00:24:34,600 --> 00:24:37,720
Speaker 4: this is the greatest sight these eyes have ever seen. Yeah,

492
00:24:37,760 --> 00:24:41,160
Speaker 4: I mean like it, that's it's just amazing that as

493
00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:45,040
Speaker 4: a parent that you get to experience that, you know

494
00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:47,879
Speaker 4: for your son seeing that, but you get experience it

495
00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:50,080
Speaker 4: for yourself. And I think about that, you know, being

496
00:24:50,119 --> 00:24:51,879
Speaker 4: out here in Los Angeles, all the things that my

497
00:24:51,960 --> 00:24:52,960
Speaker 4: daughter has been able.

498
00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:54,680
Speaker 3: To do, and we drive by w B and.

499
00:24:54,600 --> 00:24:56,639
Speaker 4: She's like, yeah, we shot our we shot one of

500
00:24:56,640 --> 00:24:58,239
Speaker 4: our scenes, like right over here, and I'm like, this

501
00:24:58,320 --> 00:25:01,439
Speaker 4: is w B, like you know, Warner Brothers. And so

502
00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:03,840
Speaker 4: it's been kind of cool, but thinking about a movie

503
00:25:03,960 --> 00:25:07,439
Speaker 4: in different terms, as you know, the years have gone on,

504
00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:10,040
Speaker 4: but that when my father looks around, he goes, this

505
00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:12,359
Speaker 4: is the greatest sight these eyes I've ever seen. I

506
00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:13,800
Speaker 4: mean that's kind of the way I feel like when

507
00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:16,000
Speaker 4: I go into all the stadiums in the NFL and

508
00:25:16,040 --> 00:25:17,000
Speaker 4: also those in college.

509
00:25:17,040 --> 00:25:18,680
Speaker 3: So that was also a cool scene.

510
00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:22,600
Speaker 6: To memorable excuse me Mark the first memorable great line

511
00:25:22,600 --> 00:25:25,160
Speaker 6: in the movie win one for the Gipper.

512
00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:30,240
Speaker 1: Okay, that was a great, great movie line, of course, absolutely,

513
00:25:31,160 --> 00:25:35,879
Speaker 1: But what is the best football not sports football movie?

514
00:25:36,440 --> 00:25:43,040
Speaker 1: And here's some candidates, certainly Rudy remember the Titans song

515
00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:44,320
Speaker 1: Bryant's song.

516
00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:47,240
Speaker 5: Yes, it was, and it was a TV movie. You're right, general,

517
00:25:47,240 --> 00:25:49,400
Speaker 5: it was a Yeah.

518
00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:51,440
Speaker 1: They were big movies of the week, had a budget

519
00:25:51,640 --> 00:25:54,400
Speaker 1: that was a big deal back then, you're on ABC,

520
00:25:55,400 --> 00:25:57,639
Speaker 1: you got the big budget movie of the week stuff.

521
00:25:57,640 --> 00:26:01,080
Speaker 1: There was another what was another big movie of the week.

522
00:26:00,960 --> 00:26:03,879
Speaker 2: Short Remake was the best football movie in history.

523
00:26:04,520 --> 00:26:07,400
Speaker 3: Yes, very good press box in that movie. Yeah, for sure.

524
00:26:07,520 --> 00:26:12,960
Speaker 1: Movies with great reporter cameos secretariat longest.

525
00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:17,200
Speaker 6: Hey, hold up, you mentioned movies of the week. Another

526
00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:22,720
Speaker 6: great one was Tribes. Tribes was Jan Michael Vincent and

527
00:26:22,800 --> 00:26:28,760
Speaker 6: Earl Holloman as the marine drill instructor and Jan Michael Vincent,

528
00:26:28,800 --> 00:26:32,080
Speaker 6: who was big back then. He was a hippie who

529
00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:35,520
Speaker 6: had to go into the war and Tribes was big.

530
00:26:35,600 --> 00:26:36,760
Speaker 2: He got big.

531
00:26:37,119 --> 00:26:40,160
Speaker 6: And it was in school the next day in high

532
00:26:40,200 --> 00:26:44,720
Speaker 6: school we were all talking about that movie. Well back then,

533
00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:48,840
Speaker 6: because like you said, they were big productions. Two hours

534
00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:52,560
Speaker 6: week week weekly and they were must see TV.

535
00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:53,800
Speaker 3: Yeah.

536
00:26:53,840 --> 00:26:56,480
Speaker 1: I'm looking at some of the historic ones right now.

537
00:26:56,840 --> 00:26:59,119
Speaker 1: I remember a weird one like Sarah Portrait of a

538
00:26:59,160 --> 00:27:02,560
Speaker 1: Teenage alcohol I don't know why that title sticks out

539
00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:06,639
Speaker 1: with me. All right, but what hey for best football movie?

540
00:27:06,720 --> 00:27:10,200
Speaker 1: We have to name it. I think remember the Titans

541
00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:11,680
Speaker 1: and Rudy are the top two?

542
00:27:12,040 --> 00:27:13,000
Speaker 5: Am I wrong? Johnny?

543
00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:14,960
Speaker 1: I know you love the program, but it's not as

544
00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:16,359
Speaker 1: good a movie as those other two.

545
00:27:17,160 --> 00:27:19,080
Speaker 4: It's not gonna beat those other two. It doesn't have

546
00:27:19,119 --> 00:27:21,600
Speaker 4: the gravitas. I'll give you one to think about. I'm

547
00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:23,760
Speaker 4: not surprised that General did bring it up. North Dallas

548
00:27:23,840 --> 00:27:28,920
Speaker 4: forty is very It's a pretty awesome movie. I don't

549
00:27:28,960 --> 00:27:30,520
Speaker 4: know if it beats the others two the other two,

550
00:27:30,560 --> 00:27:32,960
Speaker 4: but it just gave you a look into NFL football

551
00:27:32,960 --> 00:27:35,200
Speaker 4: and it says professional football in the sense that maybe

552
00:27:35,200 --> 00:27:37,680
Speaker 4: people didn't know. And it's hilarious. It's got a great

553
00:27:37,720 --> 00:27:40,840
Speaker 4: CASTI Nolty's in it. Uh, North Dallas forty.

554
00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:41,320
Speaker 3: I'll throw up.

555
00:27:41,320 --> 00:27:43,919
Speaker 1: There is Nick Nolty getting out of bed in the morning.

556
00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:44,959
Speaker 1: I can relate to it.

557
00:27:45,119 --> 00:27:45,320
Speaker 4: Now.

558
00:27:45,960 --> 00:27:47,240
Speaker 5: Wow, everything hurts.

559
00:27:47,320 --> 00:27:50,800
Speaker 6: After Tom Landry said the Lord's Prayer. John Matuza jumped

560
00:27:50,880 --> 00:27:52,440
Speaker 6: up scream, let's.

561
00:27:52,240 --> 00:27:54,280
Speaker 2: Go kill those bla bleepers.

562
00:27:55,880 --> 00:28:00,000
Speaker 1: That Tom Landry character sort of character in the movie.

563
00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:02,879
Speaker 1: What about any given Sunday? Does it belong in the

564
00:28:02,920 --> 00:28:03,720
Speaker 1: top three?

565
00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:06,920
Speaker 6: No, No, I don't like any of those y'all are

566
00:28:06,920 --> 00:28:07,480
Speaker 6: talking about.

567
00:28:07,560 --> 00:28:10,440
Speaker 2: To you the truth, any of those, I'm racking mouth.

568
00:28:10,840 --> 00:28:12,840
Speaker 2: They were cute. Rudy was cute.

569
00:28:13,280 --> 00:28:17,160
Speaker 6: Remember the Titans. I love Denzel Washington. But has there

570
00:28:17,240 --> 00:28:21,159
Speaker 6: been a great movie. It's baseball movies have been better.

571
00:28:21,760 --> 00:28:23,080
Speaker 2: Yes, football movie.

572
00:28:22,840 --> 00:28:27,440
Speaker 5: And boxing as well. Absolutely right. Yeah, and even Basketball.

573
00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:33,040
Speaker 1: Hoosiers is a better movie than any football movie. I

574
00:28:33,080 --> 00:28:35,800
Speaker 1: think it is a better sports movie than any football movie.

575
00:28:35,800 --> 00:28:36,159
Speaker 5: And that's the.

576
00:28:36,200 --> 00:28:37,359
Speaker 3: White Man Can't Jump.

577
00:28:37,520 --> 00:28:42,160
Speaker 4: White Man Can't Jump is just a tremendous basketball friendship movie.

578
00:28:42,200 --> 00:28:44,040
Speaker 3: That's that's one of my favorites. I could watch it

579
00:28:44,080 --> 00:28:45,240
Speaker 3: any day of the week. It is.

580
00:28:45,280 --> 00:28:46,280
Speaker 5: It's it's pretty good.

581
00:28:46,360 --> 00:28:46,720
Speaker 3: I think.

582
00:28:46,800 --> 00:28:49,400
Speaker 1: Look for some reason, I like Rudy better than Remember

583
00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:52,400
Speaker 1: the Titans, even though Remember the Titans is more important historically.

584
00:28:52,720 --> 00:28:57,280
Speaker 1: They're both based on true stories. Andre once met coach

585
00:28:57,360 --> 00:29:00,120
Speaker 1: Boone at a banquet or something I can't remember. Of

586
00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:02,720
Speaker 1: the whole story there. And I know Rudy Rudeger was

587
00:29:02,880 --> 00:29:08,800
Speaker 1: working radio row in the Super Bowl pre stuff in

588
00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:12,080
Speaker 1: Houston in twenty seventeen, so twenty sixteen season at the

589
00:29:12,120 --> 00:29:14,480
Speaker 1: George R. Brown Convention Center. I'm sure he's been to

590
00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:17,000
Speaker 1: other radio rows as well. He's not quite the same

591
00:29:17,080 --> 00:29:20,200
Speaker 1: guy that's portrayed in the movie. But hey, it's movie

592
00:29:20,320 --> 00:29:22,320
Speaker 1: land and you have a lot of that kind of

593
00:29:22,720 --> 00:29:25,040

627
00:30:53,440 --> 00:30:54,800
Speaker 4: and do some of the things you put off all

628
00:30:54,920 --> 00:30:57,680
Speaker 4: year long, but it's time to get back the ball man.

629
00:30:57,760 --> 00:30:59,400
Speaker 3: So really really excited about that.

630
00:30:59,800 --> 00:31:02,400
Speaker 1: Well, we've been airing a lot of interviews with various

631
00:31:02,440 --> 00:31:05,239
Speaker 1: Texans that we got on media Day, and it's been

632
00:31:05,280 --> 00:31:07,640
Speaker 1: great to see them up on YouTube. Fans check them

633
00:31:07,680 --> 00:31:11,040
Speaker 1: out on YouTube or on Spotify. You can listen to

634
00:31:11,080 --> 00:31:13,680
Speaker 1: some of the back episodes of Texans All Access and

635
00:31:13,800 --> 00:31:16,640
Speaker 1: hear some of these interviews, and we haven't aired them

636
00:31:16,680 --> 00:31:18,560
Speaker 1: all yet. You're gonna get one at the end of

637
00:31:18,560 --> 00:31:21,360
Speaker 1: this show. Jalen Thomas offensive lineman. He hopes to make

638
00:31:21,360 --> 00:31:24,200
Speaker 1: a big impression in training camp and hopes to catch

639
00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:27,400
Speaker 1: on to what we would consider maybe ten offensive lineman

640
00:31:27,440 --> 00:31:30,200
Speaker 1: at least nine making the fifty three man roster, the

641
00:31:30,200 --> 00:31:33,400
Speaker 1: initial fifty three man roster with plenty of guys in practice,

642
00:31:33,400 --> 00:31:38,160
Speaker 1: squad mode, or whatever else they can do to contribute

643
00:31:38,240 --> 00:31:39,960
Speaker 1: to this team. But Johnny, what are some of the

644
00:31:40,040 --> 00:31:43,240
Speaker 1: memorable interviews that we've done so far that you like

645
00:31:43,320 --> 00:31:44,280
Speaker 1: that stand out to you?

646
00:31:44,960 --> 00:31:47,880
Speaker 4: Well, I said this, I tweeted this when I tweeted

647
00:31:47,880 --> 00:31:50,840
Speaker 4: out the show. We always tweet post on Twitter x

648
00:31:51,080 --> 00:31:53,080
Speaker 4: ver you wanna call it. You know, Hey, here's the show,

649
00:31:53,080 --> 00:31:56,680
Speaker 4: here's what's on the show. And so when the Lake

650
00:31:56,720 --> 00:32:01,320
Speaker 4: and Tomlinson aired, I think it also went up on YouTube,

651
00:32:01,360 --> 00:32:04,239
Speaker 4: so I think they had been in Houston. Stresses was

652
00:32:04,280 --> 00:32:08,160
Speaker 4: talking about that interview and you and I after I mean,

653
00:32:08,160 --> 00:32:10,560
Speaker 4: we did forty interviews. We barely could breathe because there

654
00:32:10,600 --> 00:32:13,040
Speaker 4: was one guy walking into an interview. Hey, we're doing

655
00:32:13,040 --> 00:32:13,400
Speaker 4: an interview.

656
00:32:13,480 --> 00:32:14,040
Speaker 3: Do an interview.

657
00:32:14,120 --> 00:32:17,040
Speaker 4: That guy left, Another guy was sitting down literally thirty

658
00:32:17,080 --> 00:32:18,680
Speaker 4: seconds to one another. And some of these guys were

659
00:32:18,680 --> 00:32:21,080
Speaker 4: meeting for the first time. But we've done that in

660
00:32:21,120 --> 00:32:23,600
Speaker 4: the past, and we get interviews. Guys to come into

661
00:32:23,640 --> 00:32:25,440
Speaker 4: our studio and we sit and we talk with them,

662
00:32:25,840 --> 00:32:29,240
Speaker 4: and then they walk out. There have been many times

663
00:32:29,240 --> 00:32:31,000
Speaker 4: where I've turned to you and I just say I

664
00:32:31,040 --> 00:32:33,000
Speaker 4: get it. And you know what I mean. Now just

665
00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:34,400
Speaker 4: a couple of years, like what do you mean, I

666
00:32:34,520 --> 00:32:36,320
Speaker 4: just say I get it. And what I mean by

667
00:32:36,360 --> 00:32:39,840
Speaker 4: that is you. We talked to these guys and you

668
00:32:39,960 --> 00:32:44,080
Speaker 4: see exactly why that guy was brought to Houston, or

669
00:32:44,120 --> 00:32:46,920
Speaker 4: that guy was pursued by the Texans, and obviously he's

670
00:32:46,920 --> 00:32:48,120
Speaker 4: got to choose Houston as well.

671
00:32:48,400 --> 00:32:50,520
Speaker 3: And Laken Tomlinson was one of those guys. You just

672
00:32:50,560 --> 00:32:51,320
Speaker 3: listen to him talk.

673
00:32:51,400 --> 00:32:55,800
Speaker 4: You listen to him talk about uh, just his you know, himself,

674
00:32:56,360 --> 00:32:58,720
Speaker 4: but then talking about the unit, talking about the team

675
00:32:58,800 --> 00:33:01,120
Speaker 4: and talking about, you know, what it meant to be

676
00:33:01,200 --> 00:33:02,000
Speaker 4: here in Houston.

677
00:33:02,600 --> 00:33:04,400
Speaker 3: His Jamaican background.

678
00:33:03,920 --> 00:33:07,200
Speaker 4: And how he just flowed with us really easily in

679
00:33:07,240 --> 00:33:08,520
Speaker 4: this interview, but you could.

680
00:33:08,280 --> 00:33:13,080
Speaker 3: Tell that he was very high on what.

681
00:33:13,960 --> 00:33:16,960
Speaker 4: We've talked about. This offensive line is camaraderie and chemistry.

682
00:33:17,440 --> 00:33:19,240
Speaker 4: Those are things that came out of that interview that

683
00:33:19,280 --> 00:33:21,600
Speaker 4: I was like, Okay, I get it. I understand why

684
00:33:21,720 --> 00:33:23,720
Speaker 4: Lake and Tomlinson is a Texan. Yeah, I know he's

685
00:33:23,720 --> 00:33:25,880
Speaker 4: been in the league for ten years or whatever and

686
00:33:25,920 --> 00:33:29,800
Speaker 4: maybe didn't go exceedingly well in Seattle, but I get

687
00:33:29,840 --> 00:33:30,600
Speaker 4: why he's here.

688
00:33:30,840 --> 00:33:32,800
Speaker 3: I understand why he's here once you.

689
00:33:33,160 --> 00:33:36,360
Speaker 4: Once I listened, you know, basically to our interview that

690
00:33:36,400 --> 00:33:38,080
Speaker 4: we did with him, and I think that's the one

691
00:33:38,160 --> 00:33:41,840
Speaker 4: thing that there's and this this these words have been

692
00:33:41,960 --> 00:33:44,960
Speaker 4: used purposeful, intentional about what they're doing.

693
00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:45,880
Speaker 3: They went out and.

694
00:33:45,800 --> 00:33:48,040
Speaker 4: Got Lake and Thomlinson not just because he's a guard

695
00:33:48,600 --> 00:33:52,520
Speaker 4: but because he embodies the spirit of the swarm, but

696
00:33:52,640 --> 00:33:55,480
Speaker 4: also what they want on that offensive line, guys that

697
00:33:55,520 --> 00:33:59,200
Speaker 4: are willing to work together to be five fingers in

698
00:33:59,280 --> 00:34:02,400
Speaker 4: a glove and not independent contractors, not maybe the most talented,

699
00:34:02,440 --> 00:34:05,520
Speaker 4: but the better unit. And I really got that, especially

700
00:34:05,600 --> 00:34:07,520
Speaker 4: when we talked to Lake and Tomlinson.

701
00:34:07,440 --> 00:34:10,680
Speaker 1: What about we talked to both long snappers at the time,

702
00:34:11,440 --> 00:34:15,120
Speaker 1: and then we aired both long snappers interviews. Then Tucker

703
00:34:15,200 --> 00:34:18,160
Speaker 1: Addington about a week later, gets released. But he's now

704
00:34:18,200 --> 00:34:21,919
Speaker 1: a Pittsburgh Steeler, so he's one of those Pittsburgh Steelers acquisitions.

705
00:34:22,239 --> 00:34:24,640
Speaker 1: And no one's really talking about the long snapper acquisition,

706
00:34:24,719 --> 00:34:28,600
Speaker 1: but that's just their life in general. But Austin Brinkman,

707
00:34:28,880 --> 00:34:30,920
Speaker 1: we had that interview on. We actually aired it a

708
00:34:30,920 --> 00:34:33,160
Speaker 1: couple of times, I think as a best of show

709
00:34:33,880 --> 00:34:36,120
Speaker 1: in one of the cases there. But I found that

710
00:34:36,320 --> 00:34:41,600
Speaker 1: notable that Austin Brinkman is the very likely long snapper.

711
00:34:41,600 --> 00:34:43,440
Speaker 1: He's the only one coming to camp that we know about.

712
00:34:43,520 --> 00:34:45,960
Speaker 1: You never know what Nick Casario has up his sleeve.

713
00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:49,160
Speaker 1: But I got to tell you the Dariagan Bowally interview

714
00:34:49,920 --> 00:34:52,400
Speaker 1: is one that I'll remember because he's always great to

715
00:34:52,440 --> 00:34:53,200
Speaker 1: catch up with.

716
00:34:53,360 --> 00:34:55,280
Speaker 5: And then you get the feeling and.

717
00:34:55,200 --> 00:34:58,879
Speaker 1: You and I we got a Twitter comment like vander

718
00:34:58,920 --> 00:35:00,959
Speaker 1: Maver and Harris have every run back making the roster,

719
00:35:01,120 --> 00:35:03,600
Speaker 1: No we don't. Our point was this, it's gonna be

720
00:35:03,680 --> 00:35:05,360
Speaker 1: a tougher cut than you expect.

721
00:35:05,440 --> 00:35:05,600
Speaker 3: You know.

722
00:35:05,640 --> 00:35:07,600
Speaker 1: I love these people who are like oh Trade, Damian Pierce.

723
00:35:07,640 --> 00:35:10,400
Speaker 1: I'm like, really trade Damian Pierce. You think they're just

724
00:35:10,440 --> 00:35:13,400
Speaker 1: gonna do that. Now, they might end up trading somebody

725
00:35:13,480 --> 00:35:15,799
Speaker 1: who knows, but they're gonna get a good look at

726
00:35:15,800 --> 00:35:18,640
Speaker 1: what each of these guys can do in training camp.

727
00:35:18,800 --> 00:35:24,480
Speaker 1: And Dara so reliable, so dependable, so versatile, gives you

728
00:35:24,640 --> 00:35:27,160
Speaker 1: so much at running back. But there you have Woody Marx.

729
00:35:27,200 --> 00:35:29,480
Speaker 1: We also aired that interview. You have Woody Marks to

730
00:35:29,520 --> 00:35:33,440
Speaker 1: provide something that you hope would be really explosive as

731
00:35:33,480 --> 00:35:35,640
Speaker 1: a pass catcher out of the backfield and then some

732
00:35:35,920 --> 00:35:38,560
Speaker 1: So I found the Dara and Woody interviews to be interesting.

733
00:35:39,040 --> 00:35:39,279
Speaker 3: Yeah.

734
00:35:39,320 --> 00:35:41,560
Speaker 4: Of course Dari minches to Quiz Rodgers, which is gonna

735
00:35:41,560 --> 00:35:42,640
Speaker 4: tell you at my heartstrings.

736
00:35:43,440 --> 00:35:45,320
Speaker 3: He is from the Mark Consolidated.

737
00:35:47,000 --> 00:35:49,240
Speaker 4: One of my great friends is his agent, his uncle,

738
00:35:49,600 --> 00:35:52,200
Speaker 4: and so I've always watched Quiz and when Daria said

739
00:35:52,280 --> 00:35:54,880
Speaker 4: Quiz Rodgers, it kind of caught my attention again. But

740
00:35:55,000 --> 00:35:57,000
Speaker 4: just what Dari meets his team and it's funny Mark.

741
00:35:57,280 --> 00:35:59,720
Speaker 4: While I was here in Los Angeles, I just happened

742
00:35:59,719 --> 00:36:03,640
Speaker 4: to be one morning just kind of flipping through YouTube

743
00:36:03,680 --> 00:36:06,279
Speaker 4: and there was a video of I think it was

744
00:36:06,320 --> 00:36:08,560
Speaker 4: the Charger game that popped up like highlights, and so

745
00:36:08,600 --> 00:36:10,880
Speaker 4: I watched that and then the next one because the

746
00:36:10,880 --> 00:36:13,440
Speaker 4: logarithm just gives you it was more Texans highlights. And

747
00:36:13,480 --> 00:36:15,840
Speaker 4: so eventually it got to some twenty twenty three games

748
00:36:16,560 --> 00:36:20,279
Speaker 4: and I'm watching and I'm seeing Dara make plays in

749
00:36:20,360 --> 00:36:23,799
Speaker 4: those games. I'm hearing the announcers talk about Dara in

750
00:36:23,800 --> 00:36:26,439
Speaker 4: those games. But one of the other things that stood out,

751
00:36:26,680 --> 00:36:29,279
Speaker 4: I think it was the game against the Broncos Cee

752
00:36:29,280 --> 00:36:31,760
Speaker 4: CJ turn and toss the ball to Damian Pearson.

753
00:36:31,760 --> 00:36:32,919
Speaker 3: I'm watching Damian run.

754
00:36:32,960 --> 00:36:37,160
Speaker 4: I'm like, man, dang, I'd like that for twenty twenty five.

755
00:36:37,200 --> 00:36:39,880
Speaker 4: If he runs like that, yeah, you can't trade him.

756
00:36:40,200 --> 00:36:43,560
Speaker 4: So I just it was like man watching him. I

757
00:36:43,560 --> 00:36:46,359
Speaker 4: didn't remember him running in twenty twenty four quite like that,

758
00:36:46,880 --> 00:36:48,359
Speaker 4: And so it was kind of good to go back

759
00:36:48,400 --> 00:36:50,120
Speaker 4: and kind of watch some of those highlights in some

760
00:36:50,160 --> 00:36:52,560
Speaker 4: of those games from even twenty twenty three and just

761
00:36:52,600 --> 00:36:55,640
Speaker 4: remember how some of them happened. And here's the other thing,

762
00:36:55,680 --> 00:36:58,160
Speaker 4: as it pertains the running backs. I ended up watching

763
00:36:58,200 --> 00:37:01,680
Speaker 4: the Cincinnati game twenty twenty three, the highlights at the end,

764
00:37:01,760 --> 00:37:04,400
Speaker 4: the last drive. You know who makes plays on that

765
00:37:04,520 --> 00:37:09,160
Speaker 4: final drive for US against the Bengals. I know that

766
00:37:09,200 --> 00:37:14,920
Speaker 4: Boone and Noah Brown. Mike Boone, Mike Boone and Noah Brown. Yeah,

767
00:37:14,960 --> 00:37:16,400
Speaker 4: Noel Brown was huge in that game.

768
00:37:16,800 --> 00:37:19,800
Speaker 3: He was huge. He was massive. That last run was incredible.

769
00:37:19,840 --> 00:37:21,719
Speaker 4: But Mike Boone makes a catch and gets out of

770
00:37:21,719 --> 00:37:25,040
Speaker 4: bounds right after Dalton Schultz catch to pick up a

771
00:37:25,040 --> 00:37:27,000
Speaker 4: few more yards, and you're like.

772
00:37:27,160 --> 00:37:28,200
Speaker 3: Mike Boone.

773
00:37:28,280 --> 00:37:30,440
Speaker 4: So look, we can talk about all these running backs.

774
00:37:30,680 --> 00:37:32,080
Speaker 4: It may be somebody that comes.

775
00:37:31,880 --> 00:37:32,640
Speaker 3: Out of nowhere.

776
00:37:33,239 --> 00:37:36,120
Speaker 4: And by the way, we didn't have everybody making it

777
00:37:36,160 --> 00:37:37,960
Speaker 4: from the running back group. We're just saying it's going

778
00:37:38,040 --> 00:37:40,120
Speaker 4: to be a tough cut because this is as deep

779
00:37:40,120 --> 00:37:42,719
Speaker 4: a running back group as they've had. So listening is

780
00:37:42,760 --> 00:37:45,520
Speaker 4: a skill that you can't acquire and you can work on.

781
00:37:45,880 --> 00:37:50,799
Speaker 4: So please listen before you start rattling keys and go, oh,

782
00:37:50,840 --> 00:37:51,480
Speaker 4: this is what they say.

783
00:37:51,520 --> 00:37:53,560
Speaker 3: No, it's not. Listen to what we're saying. Please.

784
00:37:53,640 --> 00:37:54,160
Speaker 5: I'll tell you what.

785
00:37:54,320 --> 00:37:57,840
Speaker 1: Watching some of these posts on YouTube that the Texans

786
00:37:57,840 --> 00:38:01,480
Speaker 1: account posts and then some other people post, and as

787
00:38:01,480 --> 00:38:04,160
Speaker 1: you bring that up, one of the things that stood

788
00:38:04,200 --> 00:38:06,080
Speaker 1: out to me over the last few weeks. You know,

789
00:38:06,120 --> 00:38:08,720
Speaker 1: as you're just kind of scrolling around some of these CJ.

790
00:38:08,840 --> 00:38:12,040
Speaker 1: Stroud highlights from twenty twenty four. I mean, I know,

791
00:38:12,120 --> 00:38:15,520
Speaker 1: twenty twenty three has all those great moments, historic rookie season,

792
00:38:15,560 --> 00:38:19,160
Speaker 1: all of that, but twenty twenty four he's got some moments,

793
00:38:19,280 --> 00:38:22,520
Speaker 1: he's got some unscripted stuff, and you're watching it thinking

794
00:38:22,920 --> 00:38:26,839
Speaker 1: he's got this, he's got this improbability, and I think

795
00:38:26,880 --> 00:38:30,040
Speaker 1: it's undersold. You know, we all know that he's much

796
00:38:30,120 --> 00:38:32,200
Speaker 1: more of a pocket passer than a guy who likes

797
00:38:32,239 --> 00:38:32,560
Speaker 1: to run.

798
00:38:32,600 --> 00:38:32,839
Speaker 5: First.

799
00:38:32,880 --> 00:38:35,719
Speaker 1: Of course that's the case with CJ. Stroud, but he

800
00:38:35,760 --> 00:38:38,719
Speaker 1: could make off schedule plays. And I always think of

801
00:38:38,760 --> 00:38:41,800
Speaker 1: this as a guy who coaches youth league flag football, Johnny,

802
00:38:41,840 --> 00:38:43,719
Speaker 1: I have to point this out. You know, when the

803
00:38:43,760 --> 00:38:47,960
Speaker 1: players act among themselves or unto themselves and decide to

804
00:38:48,000 --> 00:38:50,759
Speaker 1: make plays, you feel like I'm a genius, you know,

805
00:38:50,960 --> 00:38:51,880
Speaker 1: And I think CJ.

806
00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:53,239
Speaker 5: Stroud can make you look like a.

807
00:38:53,200 --> 00:38:56,640
Speaker 1: Genius sometimes because he can find guys open. If he

808
00:38:56,680 --> 00:38:59,120
Speaker 1: can buy himself a little extra time and guys running

809
00:38:59,160 --> 00:39:03,239
Speaker 1: that extra route, whatever the adjustment, scramble, drill, however you

810
00:39:03,280 --> 00:39:05,319
Speaker 1: want to put it, He's capable of that.

811
00:39:05,560 --> 00:39:06,120
Speaker 5: Obviously.

812
00:39:06,160 --> 00:39:09,760
Speaker 1: The play of the Year to Xavier is a big example.

813
00:39:09,760 --> 00:39:12,600
Speaker 1: Of that, and it's all started with a snap that

814
00:39:12,640 --> 00:39:14,719
Speaker 1: went through his hands, but he was able to make

815
00:39:14,719 --> 00:39:17,280
Speaker 1: the very most out of that. He can make something

816
00:39:17,320 --> 00:39:19,440
Speaker 1: out of nothing. And when you look at this Nick

817
00:39:19,520 --> 00:39:21,480
Speaker 1: Caley offense, we all want to see it just operate

818
00:39:21,560 --> 00:39:23,560
Speaker 1: so efficiently. He never has to leave the pocket and

819
00:39:23,600 --> 00:39:26,520
Speaker 1: whatever and throw within two seconds and it's all good.

820
00:39:26,680 --> 00:39:28,719
Speaker 1: But he's gonna have to be able to continue to

821
00:39:28,800 --> 00:39:30,600
Speaker 1: do that. I think it's only going up for him

822
00:39:30,800 --> 00:39:34,279
Speaker 1: because he's literally twenty three years old as we speak.

823
00:39:34,320 --> 00:39:35,720
Speaker 5: He'll be twenty four during the season.

824
00:39:36,360 --> 00:39:38,319
Speaker 4: You know, talking to James Palmer, you know, one of

825
00:39:38,320 --> 00:39:40,319
Speaker 4: the ways that CJ's going to be helped this year

826
00:39:40,920 --> 00:39:43,640
Speaker 4: is the addition of Higgins and Knowl and he and

827
00:39:43,680 --> 00:39:47,560
Speaker 4: Steve Smith Senior did a great job reviewing wide receiver

828
00:39:47,600 --> 00:39:51,040
Speaker 4: candidates for the draft, and Higgins was a guy that

829
00:39:51,239 --> 00:39:54,920
Speaker 4: he heard from a couple of coaches like, hey, keep

830
00:39:54,960 --> 00:39:56,759
Speaker 4: it down, man, we want that guy to slip to

831
00:39:56,840 --> 00:39:59,760
Speaker 4: us in the second round. There was a love affair

832
00:40:00,040 --> 00:40:04,000
Speaker 4: with Higgins and Nol with the coaches that you know

833
00:40:04,040 --> 00:40:06,759
Speaker 4: had reviewed them, and obviously the Texans had had had

834
00:40:06,800 --> 00:40:09,359
Speaker 4: as well, and so we talked about, you know, Jade

835
00:40:09,440 --> 00:40:12,759
Speaker 4: Higgins and both he and Nol and about this receiving corps.

836
00:40:12,760 --> 00:40:14,720
Speaker 4: I thought that interview with James was really really good,

837
00:40:15,480 --> 00:40:18,719
Speaker 4: you know, just speaking on that. And if Higgins and

838
00:40:18,880 --> 00:40:21,719
Speaker 4: or Nol just did one of them just takes a

839
00:40:21,800 --> 00:40:23,960
Speaker 4: really big step as a rookie, you'd like both. But

840
00:40:24,000 --> 00:40:25,840
Speaker 4: if it's just one of them, it takes a step

841
00:40:26,080 --> 00:40:29,040
Speaker 4: that you add to Nico and then one of the

842
00:40:29,120 --> 00:40:31,880
Speaker 4: running back tight ends, third wide receiver, fourth wide receiver

843
00:40:31,960 --> 00:40:35,520
Speaker 4: can emerge. Man, now you're cooking with gas. Now you've

844
00:40:35,560 --> 00:40:38,040
Speaker 4: got something. And I think it's gonna be really fun

845
00:40:38,080 --> 00:40:41,200
Speaker 4: to watch this offense take strides under Nick Kyley. But

846
00:40:41,239 --> 00:40:45,000
Speaker 4: I think the Stroud twenty twenty four stuff gets overblown

847
00:40:45,200 --> 00:40:46,799
Speaker 4: and I'm glad we're getting out of twenty twenty five.

848
00:40:46,800 --> 00:40:50,560
Speaker 1: Put it in the review absolutely, And speaking of tough

849
00:40:50,600 --> 00:40:53,480
Speaker 1: cuts the offensive line, there are some tougher cuts than

850
00:40:53,520 --> 00:40:56,200
Speaker 1: you might think. Jalen Thomas is going to join us

851
00:40:56,360 --> 00:40:59,600
Speaker 1: next year on the program and offensive lineman looking to

852
00:40:59,600 --> 00:41:03,120
Speaker 1: make some It's Texans Radio on the way out here

853
00:41:03,120 --> 00:41:05,680
Speaker 1: on tonight's program. You know, we've been hearing from a

854
00:41:05,680 --> 00:41:10,200
Speaker 1: lot of Texans during recent Texans All Access programs interviews

855
00:41:10,239 --> 00:41:12,400
Speaker 1: that we've done recently around Mini Camp.

856
00:41:13,000 --> 00:41:14,239
Speaker 5: Jalen Thomas one of them.

857
00:41:14,239 --> 00:41:19,319
Speaker 1: He's an offensive lineman from Lubbock, played at SMU, and

858
00:41:19,360 --> 00:41:21,759
Speaker 1: he played for the Ravens and Giants a little bit

859
00:41:21,760 --> 00:41:24,560
Speaker 1: in their organization. Spent some time with the Texans starting

860
00:41:24,560 --> 00:41:26,880
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty three, and he's hoping to make a

861
00:41:26,920 --> 00:41:30,200
Speaker 1: big impression here in camp. And we talk about where

862
00:41:30,239 --> 00:41:32,799
Speaker 1: he would like to play, what position, what could he do?

863
00:41:32,880 --> 00:41:35,440
Speaker 1: He's versatile, He's one of these guys and that really helps.

864
00:41:35,440 --> 00:41:38,520
Speaker 1: Twenty five year old offensive lineman Jalen Thomas. At what

865
00:41:38,560 --> 00:41:40,720
Speaker 1: position has he been spending his time?

866
00:41:40,920 --> 00:41:44,360
Speaker 7: Mainly right now? Gart I played tackling in the past,

867
00:41:44,640 --> 00:41:48,560
Speaker 7: right played a FEU center, but right right now, just.

868
00:41:48,560 --> 00:41:50,360
Speaker 5: Garth for how is that challenge?

869
00:41:50,880 --> 00:41:53,960
Speaker 7: Truthfully, I've been moved over in my entire career been

870
00:41:54,000 --> 00:41:57,319
Speaker 7: at SMU. I placed in, I played tackle, played guard

871
00:41:57,360 --> 00:41:59,279
Speaker 7: when I was at SMU. So I feel like I've

872
00:41:59,320 --> 00:42:01,040
Speaker 7: moved around so much it just kind of became a

873
00:42:02,080 --> 00:42:04,560
Speaker 7: kind of easy for me to move from side to side.

874
00:42:04,640 --> 00:42:06,680
Speaker 7: So that's not that's never really a challenge for me.

875
00:42:06,800 --> 00:42:10,160
Speaker 4: Okay, So being in Houston, you grew up Lubbock, went

876
00:42:10,200 --> 00:42:13,799
Speaker 4: to school in Dallas, with college in Dallas, now here

877
00:42:13,800 --> 00:42:16,560
Speaker 4: in Houston. Kept it in a Texas family. It's pretty good.

878
00:42:16,600 --> 00:42:19,200
Speaker 4: But what is what's it like Jalen being here in

879
00:42:19,360 --> 00:42:22,760
Speaker 4: Houston and with with the Texas organization with Tamiko Ryans

880
00:42:22,800 --> 00:42:23,359
Speaker 4: as head coach.

881
00:42:23,719 --> 00:42:25,799
Speaker 3: Cole Popovich's your offen Tile coach, which you like being

882
00:42:26,320 --> 00:42:26,760
Speaker 3: in Houston.

883
00:42:26,920 --> 00:42:30,000
Speaker 7: It's been great, especially a coach pop We just hear

884
00:42:30,040 --> 00:42:32,480
Speaker 7: the work get better every single day. He's gonna bring

885
00:42:32,480 --> 00:42:35,120
Speaker 7: the energy every single day. And also coach Ryan's He's

886
00:42:36,000 --> 00:42:38,239
Speaker 7: definitely bring the pressure every day. Defense going to bring

887
00:42:38,239 --> 00:42:39,560
Speaker 7: the pressure every day. It only makes you want to

888
00:42:39,560 --> 00:42:41,600
Speaker 7: be a better player. So I mean, it's exciting to

889
00:42:41,600 --> 00:42:43,880
Speaker 7: be here. It's a great competition every single day, so

890
00:42:44,320 --> 00:42:45,560
Speaker 7: I'm only going to make me better.

891
00:42:45,600 --> 00:42:46,600
Speaker 3: So I love it here.

892
00:42:47,120 --> 00:42:50,600
Speaker 1: You said side to side, so right side left side

893
00:42:50,640 --> 00:42:54,040
Speaker 1: for either a tackle guard, how is it different? Because

894
00:42:54,080 --> 00:42:56,680
Speaker 1: it's been explained to me, it's like, you know, doing

895
00:42:56,719 --> 00:42:59,000
Speaker 1: something right handed and left handed if you're really used

896
00:42:59,000 --> 00:43:00,399
Speaker 1: to one side over the other.

897
00:43:00,440 --> 00:43:02,360
Speaker 5: But how is it for you if they move you around?

898
00:43:03,000 --> 00:43:05,000
Speaker 7: For me, it's not too much of a challenge because

899
00:43:05,040 --> 00:43:06,919
Speaker 7: I feel like it is kind of like right hand

900
00:43:07,000 --> 00:43:08,920
Speaker 7: left him. But it's really just a change in your stance.

901
00:43:10,400 --> 00:43:12,359
Speaker 7: It's where you where you kind of push your power

902
00:43:12,400 --> 00:43:14,200
Speaker 7: into where your legs are at. Not too much of

903
00:43:14,239 --> 00:43:16,799
Speaker 7: a difference for me, though, I've moved around a lot

904
00:43:16,800 --> 00:43:19,719
Speaker 7: in my career and especially in college, so the right

905
00:43:19,760 --> 00:43:20,960
Speaker 7: to left doesn't really affect me.

906
00:43:21,200 --> 00:43:23,839
Speaker 3: Okay, so take this question with a grain of salt.

907
00:43:24,360 --> 00:43:26,880
Speaker 4: I want Jayleen Thomas to tell me where he wants

908
00:43:26,920 --> 00:43:29,440
Speaker 4: to play.

909
00:43:29,480 --> 00:43:30,480
Speaker 5: We won't tell anybody.

910
00:43:30,520 --> 00:43:34,799
Speaker 4: One of you call it back for what position would

911
00:43:34,840 --> 00:43:35,880
Speaker 4: you want to play?

912
00:43:36,200 --> 00:43:37,640
Speaker 3: And why just guard?

913
00:43:39,040 --> 00:43:40,680
Speaker 7: I like being in inside. I like pool, and I

914
00:43:40,760 --> 00:43:44,480
Speaker 7: like to hit. I feel like I'm very versatile. I

915
00:43:44,960 --> 00:43:47,800
Speaker 7: feel like my athleticism allows me, especially playing tackle in college,

916
00:43:47,800 --> 00:43:50,840
Speaker 7: my athleticism inside allows me to move around with especially

917
00:43:50,840 --> 00:43:52,120
Speaker 7: with bigger guys inside.

918
00:43:52,280 --> 00:43:53,200
Speaker 3: That doesn't really affect me.

919
00:43:53,200 --> 00:43:55,960
Speaker 7: I'm a pretty strong guy too, so it's being inside

920
00:43:55,960 --> 00:43:59,400
Speaker 7: allows me to use my athleticism, but also I have

921
00:43:59,480 --> 00:44:03,400
Speaker 7: the strength to to compare compete with these bigger defensive linemen.

922
00:44:03,640 --> 00:44:08,200
Speaker 4: Either or in Jalen Thomas's opinion, are you a zone

923
00:44:08,200 --> 00:44:09,600
Speaker 4: scheme guy or gaps king guy?

924
00:44:09,640 --> 00:44:11,239
Speaker 3: Which better for you? Because I can see if it's

925
00:44:11,239 --> 00:44:13,839
Speaker 3: in bowl. I can see if in both, But which

926
00:44:13,840 --> 00:44:16,520
Speaker 3: one would you pick? I don't know. I like both.

927
00:44:16,800 --> 00:44:19,200
Speaker 7: I played I played zone in college, and I mean

928
00:44:19,239 --> 00:44:21,080
Speaker 7: this we're doing a little bit of gas now. So

929
00:44:21,200 --> 00:44:23,880
Speaker 7: like I like both, I don't really have a preference.

930
00:44:24,040 --> 00:44:25,520
Speaker 4: It's kind of like the way I feel about different

931
00:44:25,520 --> 00:44:26,319
Speaker 4: flavors of ice cream.

932
00:44:27,560 --> 00:44:29,719
Speaker 8: You I love ice cream, you know, like I like

933
00:44:29,760 --> 00:44:31,920
Speaker 8: ice cy I like I like vanilla. I like chocolate,

934
00:44:32,200 --> 00:44:36,000
Speaker 8: even like a little strawberry. Sometimes I agree, I agree,

935
00:44:36,480 --> 00:44:37,600
Speaker 8: you got to pick one.

936
00:44:38,840 --> 00:44:39,760
Speaker 3: I'll pick chocolate.

937
00:44:39,760 --> 00:44:44,520
Speaker 5: There's more than one right decisions.
