It has with 32 00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:02,800 Speaker 1: a lead's leading their support via social media. I'm not 33 00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:07,160 Speaker 1: sure what's gonna happen from here, but it's something we're 34 00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:10,400 Speaker 1: following very closely. We'll discuss it among many other things 35 00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:12,880 Speaker 1: this morning. John McClain joins us at eight thirty. Good morning, John, 36 00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:15,640 Speaker 1: Good morning. Yeah, it was you know, after we got 37 00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:18,360 Speaker 1: off the off the air last night. And you know, 38 00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:21,200 Speaker 1: over the years you have you have those shows, I mean, Mark, 39 00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:24,680 Speaker 1: I'm sure you've done shows you know with uh you know, 40 00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:28,200 Speaker 1: hurricanes bearing down. You know, Rita was aimed right at 41 00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:30,560 Speaker 1: Houston in two thousand and five, and I remember talking 42 00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:34,079 Speaker 1: to my parents in the car at some point while 43 00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:36,000 Speaker 1: they were getting out, and they were, you know, like, 44 00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:37,640 Speaker 1: we're turning around going home, and I was like, are 45 00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:39,360 Speaker 1: y'all safe? Don't could be safe? I mean, I just 46 00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:41,679 Speaker 1: lost it. Then of course, Rita took a different path 47 00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:43,680 Speaker 1: and they ended up being okay. But you know, you've 48 00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:46,600 Speaker 1: done shows in a hurricane. I remember doing a show 49 00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:50,360 Speaker 1: on the night that we found out Joe Paterno had 50 00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:52,560 Speaker 1: been asked to step down at Penn State, and I 51 00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:54,639 Speaker 1: was doing a national show and I was doing that 52 00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:57,440 Speaker 1: probably about an hour to an hour and a half 53 00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:00,400 Speaker 1: after that happened. And so you know, we've had those 54 00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:03,800 Speaker 1: shows over the years, um, you know, separately, and I 55 00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:06,160 Speaker 1: think you know we've had shows here, you know, when 56 00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:08,720 Speaker 1: things have happened, you know, when mister McNair passed away, 57 00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:11,519 Speaker 1: you know, doing that show was I mean, that was 58 00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:14,040 Speaker 1: just such a such a gut punch to do. Last 59 00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:16,080 Speaker 1: Night's is going to be one of those that you 60 00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:19,440 Speaker 1: you kind of remember for all that was going on, 61 00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:24,400 Speaker 1: I mean, everything that was happening was just my gosh. 62 00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:27,639 Speaker 1: And of course the hurricane in this area made made 63 00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:30,480 Speaker 1: it that much more complicated and difficult for people to 64 00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:33,200 Speaker 1: kind of come to grips with everything that was going on, 65 00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:36,200 Speaker 1: because you know, with with you know, one eye on 66 00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:38,800 Speaker 1: what's going on with the NBA and the world of 67 00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:41,960 Speaker 1: professional tennis and the world of politics, and you got 68 00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:43,839 Speaker 1: the other eye on, hey, do we have sandbags where 69 00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:45,440 Speaker 1: they need to be? Uh? You know, as our house 70 00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:48,720 Speaker 1: boarded upright, So, Um, I just when we got done 71 00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:53,120 Speaker 1: and I hit the disconnect button, I just went, oh man, 72 00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:54,800 Speaker 1: I mean it just was kind of like it it 73 00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:56,840 Speaker 1: kind of sapped the energy out and I literally just 74 00:03:56,840 --> 00:03:58,640 Speaker 1: sat there for kind of two minutes and just kind 75 00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:02,000 Speaker 1: of stare at the wall and just like, how do 76 00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:04,800 Speaker 1: you encompass all that we were kind of feeling, you 77 00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:06,800 Speaker 1: know last night. It's just it will go down as 78 00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:08,960 Speaker 1: one of those shows that you you know, and we'll 79 00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:10,720 Speaker 1: probably have many of them in twenty twenty. It just 80 00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:13,160 Speaker 1: feels like that's kind of the way it's been in 81 00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:15,760 Speaker 1: this uh this year. But um, and you and you 82 00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:17,560 Speaker 1: don't know what the fallout has been, you don't know 83 00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:21,520 Speaker 1: what the continued fallout will be. Um, as I'm sure 84 00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:24,679 Speaker 1: the NBA, you know, had their meeting after our show 85 00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:27,240 Speaker 1: last night, and it sounds as if there was not 86 00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:30,760 Speaker 1: a consensus in that room other than you know, they 87 00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:33,000 Speaker 1: understand what's going on in the world is wrong. But 88 00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:34,839 Speaker 1: I don't know if there's any consensus on what they're 89 00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:36,680 Speaker 1: gonna do going forward. But it was one of those 90 00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:39,560 Speaker 1: shows and man, you just kind of take a deep 91 00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:41,920 Speaker 1: breath and you know, be a professional and wake up 92 00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:43,880 Speaker 1: morning and go all right, we've got another show to do. 93 00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:46,120 Speaker 1: Let's talk some Texas football and enjoy what we've got 94 00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:48,880 Speaker 1: in front of us. Right, the focus will be Texans football, 95 00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:51,520 Speaker 1: but of course we'll share any late breaking news are 96 00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:55,320 Speaker 1: related to this huge story in all of sports and 97 00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:59,880 Speaker 1: all the world really, but the sports impact or the 98 00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,920 Speaker 1: impact on the sports world from the story. Now Anthony Weaver, 99 00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:05,520 Speaker 1: our defensive coordinator, Johnny and I caught up with him. 100 00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:07,920 Speaker 1: Now we caught up with him before all this news broke, 101 00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:11,360 Speaker 1: so no opinions on that. But we did talk about 102 00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:13,680 Speaker 1: the hurricane because it was coming, and of course the 103 00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:16,960 Speaker 1: team had to make preparations. They did revise their schedule 104 00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:19,479 Speaker 1: a bit. The stadium closed a little bit early yesterday, 105 00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:22,840 Speaker 1: afternoon just in case. And Anthony's lived through a few 106 00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:26,760 Speaker 1: of these, including two thousand and eight when the Texans 107 00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:31,120 Speaker 1: lost their bye week because they had to use it 108 00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:33,880 Speaker 1: up in week two due to Hurricane Ike. So we 109 00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:38,440 Speaker 1: started there. Ike was I'll tell you what for me, 110 00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:41,080 Speaker 1: I grew up in Hawaii, so I was in Hurricane Eva. 111 00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:43,880 Speaker 1: That was in nineteen like eighty five. Remember waking up 112 00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:47,520 Speaker 1: with our neighbor's roof in our backyard. Oh boy. The 113 00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:49,520 Speaker 1: worst thing about Ike for me personally, now I know 114 00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:51,440 Speaker 1: it was an awful all for a lot of people. 115 00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:53,359 Speaker 1: For me personally was just losing the bye week. That 116 00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:58,400 Speaker 1: was rough shape. But but yeah, you know, we're obviously 117 00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:00,880 Speaker 1: praying for everybody during these times, and we hope that, 118 00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:02,880 Speaker 1: you know, the city of Houston gets gets spared by 119 00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:05,960 Speaker 1: Mother Nature with this one. Absolutely, Coach training camp has 120 00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:09,920 Speaker 1: been a little different for all of us, be a 121 00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:13,520 Speaker 1: little different for you because you have taken charge of 122 00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:16,200 Speaker 1: this defense. Just give us an idea if you don't 123 00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:18,400 Speaker 1: mind it. How has it gone for you? Have you 124 00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:22,000 Speaker 1: really relished those eleven on eleven periods where you're able 125 00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:24,640 Speaker 1: to call the defense, examine things a lot. How has 126 00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:27,559 Speaker 1: this been for you? To be the guy in charge 127 00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:30,359 Speaker 1: that everybody's looking to on that defense. I mean, I 128 00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:33,320 Speaker 1: love it. I love it, And it's been a pretty 129 00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:37,159 Speaker 1: seamless transition, really because I have a tremendous staff. The 130 00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:39,560 Speaker 1: guys I work with, they make it easy. Every day. 131 00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:42,320 Speaker 1: They have a tremendous rapport with the players, and then 132 00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:44,240 Speaker 1: those guys feed off of ups and then they go 133 00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:46,320 Speaker 1: out there and they give everything they have, so so 134 00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:49,000 Speaker 1: I lest the opportunity. I'm a bit of a control freak, 135 00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:52,279 Speaker 1: so this kind of suits me. But I love, I 136 00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:55,159 Speaker 1: love and cherish every every moment of it. Coach, you 137 00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:57,400 Speaker 1: played for this team, and another guy's helping out who 138 00:06:57,480 --> 00:07:00,560 Speaker 1: played for this team, Brian Cushing, And I see Bobby 139 00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:03,240 Speaker 1: King out there with the inside backers. But Cushing seems 140 00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:06,400 Speaker 1: very involved and it's almost like he's still a player 141 00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:08,320 Speaker 1: but he's a coach, And can you describe what he's 142 00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:13,160 Speaker 1: doing out there? Well, Cush is easily stronger than probably 143 00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:16,480 Speaker 1: a lot of our players. I mean, is he looks 144 00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:17,920 Speaker 1: like he can go and put the shoulder pads on 145 00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:21,680 Speaker 1: the morrow and give us forty five plays. But you know, Cush, 146 00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:23,760 Speaker 1: I mean, he's just a wealth of knowledge and information 147 00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:26,400 Speaker 1: and I think the guys they looked to him for that. 148 00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:28,240 Speaker 1: You know how to take care of your bodies, how 149 00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:31,400 Speaker 1: to sustain and thrive in this league. You know how 150 00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:33,440 Speaker 1: to how to deal with some of the injury situations 151 00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:34,880 Speaker 1: he delt with and still come out on the other 152 00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:37,400 Speaker 1: end and be an effective ball players. So he's a 153 00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:39,800 Speaker 1: wealth of wisdom, and I think our players lean on him, 154 00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:42,040 Speaker 1: and certainly as coaches sometimes we lean on him too 155 00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:45,280 Speaker 1: for the for the same same advice. Coach, I'm sure 156 00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:48,880 Speaker 1: you've learned a little bit about everybody in your defensive 157 00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:52,400 Speaker 1: meeting room through up and down your defense. But the rookies, 158 00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:54,680 Speaker 1: I don't even know if you met them until they 159 00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:58,000 Speaker 1: got into building. And what have you seen from that 160 00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:02,920 Speaker 1: group thus far? Of this rookie class of twenty twenty. 161 00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:05,640 Speaker 1: You know the thing, the thing about us you always 162 00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:08,640 Speaker 1: hear is talking about finding guys that are dependable, tough, 163 00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:11,480 Speaker 1: and smart. And each of those rookies that we brought 164 00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:15,040 Speaker 1: into building, they have those characteristics. So I applauded them 165 00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:17,720 Speaker 1: just for their professionalism, their approach to work, and because 166 00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:20,440 Speaker 1: of that, they're giving themselves the best opportunity to play 167 00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:23,480 Speaker 1: in such an upside down year. But guys like John Reid, 168 00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:27,040 Speaker 1: John Grenard, Ross Blacklocke, I mean a zoya the full 169 00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:30,440 Speaker 1: I hope I said that right, big. See those guys 170 00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:32,560 Speaker 1: that just they're putting in the work. They're trying to 171 00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:35,480 Speaker 1: go out and get better each and every day, and 172 00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:39,319 Speaker 1: maybe not the first game versus Kansas City, but somewhere 173 00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:41,840 Speaker 1: throughout this season, those guys are gonna help us because 174 00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:45,120 Speaker 1: of all their work they're putting in. You mentioned that 175 00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:49,040 Speaker 1: Reid and Murray are the primary communicators on the back end, 176 00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:52,880 Speaker 1: and that's got to be crucial to communicate. Well, we 177 00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:55,679 Speaker 1: don't chance to catch up with Murray, we thought, I mean, 178 00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:59,200 Speaker 1: he was excellent, great communicator with us. So how is 179 00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:02,520 Speaker 1: that going back fair? Working in some new faces and 180 00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:05,360 Speaker 1: the guys who joined you along the way last year 181 00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:08,439 Speaker 1: on the back end. It's it's been awesome. It's been awesome. 182 00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:12,400 Speaker 1: I can I'm continually impressed by how our secondary is 183 00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:15,760 Speaker 1: coming together day in and day out because the guys 184 00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:18,440 Speaker 1: like like Justin Reid, Eric Murray, who, like you said, 185 00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:20,960 Speaker 1: our primary communicators back there. When you have safeties that 186 00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:24,600 Speaker 1: don't communicate, there's a trickle down effect and there's often 187 00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:27,520 Speaker 1: mas on defense because of that we haven't had a 188 00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:29,640 Speaker 1: whole lot of that because and it starts with those two, 189 00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:33,400 Speaker 1: but guys like Vernon Harveys, I mentioned, John Reid, Bradley Roby, 190 00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:37,760 Speaker 1: Geron Connley, Lonnie Johnson, those guys are they all aspired 191 00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:41,000 Speaker 1: to be great and not just individually but together, and 192 00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:42,520 Speaker 1: they know that in order for us to be what 193 00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:44,400 Speaker 1: we want to be on defense, we need to be 194 00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:46,440 Speaker 1: one cohesive unit, not just back there, but with the 195 00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:49,880 Speaker 1: linebackers and with the front. But from a communication standpoint, 196 00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:52,320 Speaker 1: those guys have been been awesome. It's like it's like 197 00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:54,520 Speaker 1: stocked in them alone back there. I mean it's it's 198 00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:56,520 Speaker 1: it's great and it makes it easy for me as 199 00:09:56,559 --> 00:09:58,920 Speaker 1: a coordinator that I can make whatever call and they're 200 00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:00,360 Speaker 1: gonna get us on the right page to make sure 201 00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:03,560 Speaker 1: we're doing the right things. Coach, you've seen JJ Watt 202 00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:06,839 Speaker 1: up close, coached him as his position coach, and you 203 00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:09,240 Speaker 1: would often joke last year you know, yeah, it's just 204 00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:11,480 Speaker 1: a great coach. You can see what JJ does and 205 00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:13,480 Speaker 1: flash that smile and I knew you were just joking 206 00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:15,640 Speaker 1: about it. But when you have a player like JJ 207 00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:21,760 Speaker 1: who is so accomplished, how how difficult or not is 208 00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:24,280 Speaker 1: it to coach a guy like that because he's done 209 00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:26,880 Speaker 1: it all, he's probably seen it all, and yet he's 210 00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:29,199 Speaker 1: still striving to be great, and maybe that makes it 211 00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:31,160 Speaker 1: easier to coach him. What's it like coaching the guy 212 00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:33,480 Speaker 1: like JJ Watt that has done as much as he 213 00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:36,480 Speaker 1: has in this league? I think you just said it. 214 00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:40,800 Speaker 1: The thing JJ understands is that yesterday's trophies aren't winning 215 00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:44,880 Speaker 1: tomorrow's games, and he is so one, He's incredibly humble, 216 00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:48,320 Speaker 1: and he's still so driven and hungry that it makes 217 00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:50,160 Speaker 1: it easy on me because you really don't have to 218 00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:52,440 Speaker 1: tell him a whole lot because it's so intrinsically built 219 00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:56,400 Speaker 1: into who he is. So I mean, I love the 220 00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:59,600 Speaker 1: guy to death. He is absolutely an important piece of 221 00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:01,360 Speaker 1: our defense, is the heart and soul of our defense. 222 00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:03,839 Speaker 1: And uh and when he's out there, he lifts the 223 00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:06,920 Speaker 1: spirits in the game of every single person around him. 224 00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:10,199 Speaker 1: So coaching coaching that guy, that's easy. That's easy because 225 00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:11,960 Speaker 1: so much, so much of that is just just in 226 00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:14,360 Speaker 1: him already to go out there and give everything he 227 00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:18,400 Speaker 1: has for our team. Yesterday's trophies aren't winning tomorrow's games. 228 00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:20,320 Speaker 1: Every time we talk, I get a new quote to 229 00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:23,600 Speaker 1: you is later, this is awesome. I can make sure, Yeah, 230 00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:25,840 Speaker 1: I can have a T shirt business based on what 231 00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:29,160 Speaker 1: you say. Coach. Well, the Chiefs are coming up before 232 00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:31,240 Speaker 1: you know it, in a couple of weeks, and I 233 00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:33,880 Speaker 1: know you guys spent a great chunk of the offseason 234 00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:37,920 Speaker 1: evaluating the past and the future future opponents even in 235 00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:41,520 Speaker 1: weeks to come. But how far along are you in 236 00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:44,240 Speaker 1: what you really want to do against the Chiefs defensively, 237 00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:46,960 Speaker 1: how you want to attack them or defend against them. 238 00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:49,839 Speaker 1: You know, we we've obviously put some preliminary thoughts together 239 00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:52,760 Speaker 1: as a staff, but we're very much focused on us 240 00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:56,120 Speaker 1: right now and how we can get better. You know, 241 00:11:56,360 --> 00:11:58,080 Speaker 1: you always as a coach, Don't get me wrong. As 242 00:11:58,080 --> 00:11:59,839 Speaker 1: a coach, you're always looking ahead. And I feel like 243 00:11:59,840 --> 00:12:01,480 Speaker 1: I been watching the Chiefs for it for eight months. 244 00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:05,960 Speaker 1: Well I have, but but right now I'm just our 245 00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:08,680 Speaker 1: primary focus is on doing everything we can to get 246 00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:11,280 Speaker 1: our team better, and then once we get closer to 247 00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:14,679 Speaker 1: the game, obviously we'll switch that focus for our guys. Coach, 248 00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:18,880 Speaker 1: how is the balance for you between getting your team 249 00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:22,120 Speaker 1: ready for Kansas City but also doing player valves and 250 00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:25,120 Speaker 1: trying to figure out who needs to be on the 251 00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:27,600 Speaker 1: forty six man game day, the fifty three man roster, 252 00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:30,000 Speaker 1: who makes the practice squad, etc. How do you kind 253 00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:32,840 Speaker 1: of balance that through such a really kind of weird, 254 00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:38,000 Speaker 1: condensed sort of training camp situation. Yeah, Well, for me, 255 00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:41,120 Speaker 1: it's just about it's about time management and piecing up 256 00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:43,520 Speaker 1: your day. So I try to get here early enough 257 00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:45,079 Speaker 1: in the morning where I can dedicate some time to 258 00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:47,079 Speaker 1: Kansas City. But once we get out there in the 259 00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:48,840 Speaker 1: practice field and then the rest of the day, all 260 00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:51,440 Speaker 1: my focus is on our players and like you said, 261 00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:53,760 Speaker 1: evaluating trying to figure out where what we can do 262 00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:56,560 Speaker 1: to help make them better individually, and then making sure 263 00:12:56,559 --> 00:12:58,320 Speaker 1: obviously that we're all on the same page with what 264 00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:01,240 Speaker 1: we're trying to do collectively as a defense. So it's 265 00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:04,520 Speaker 1: just about compartmentalization and being able to find that time 266 00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:06,920 Speaker 1: and then shut it down and focus on the task 267 00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:10,280 Speaker 1: at hand. I've got one more coach. Last time we talked, 268 00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:13,040 Speaker 1: you were still in the process of really getting accustomed 269 00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:16,040 Speaker 1: to the protocols and living life this way. How do 270 00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:18,000 Speaker 1: you feel now that we've been in it for a 271 00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:20,320 Speaker 1: few weeks and does it feel like a new normal, 272 00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:22,440 Speaker 1: Because it's got to feel like once you're on the field, 273 00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:25,199 Speaker 1: it's it's still football, but you know it's certain people 274 00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:27,360 Speaker 1: have masks and there's some distancing and everything like that, 275 00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:29,400 Speaker 1: and I know it really affects the meeting. So how 276 00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:33,520 Speaker 1: has that been for you? Uh, you know, we've all adjusted, 277 00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:37,880 Speaker 1: we've all adjusted, and our organizationally, they've made it very 278 00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:39,920 Speaker 1: easy for us, which which has been awesome. You know, 279 00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:41,880 Speaker 1: there's alway, there was always a little bit of hesitancy 280 00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:44,160 Speaker 1: and concern when you're first coming back, just because you 281 00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:46,400 Speaker 1: know how the rest of the world is operating. But 282 00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:49,760 Speaker 1: here you feel like you're safe and it's about as 283 00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:53,199 Speaker 1: normal as it could possibly be. And that's been awesome. 284 00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:55,880 Speaker 1: But um, as far as the guys, I mean, they 285 00:13:55,960 --> 00:13:57,560 Speaker 1: love the schedule. I mean they're out of they're out 286 00:13:57,559 --> 00:13:59,760 Speaker 1: of the building earlier, they're working on they're on zoom, 287 00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:01,520 Speaker 1: you know, they're on their phone. That's what they do anyway, 288 00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:03,000 Speaker 1: So this is this I don't even know if this 289 00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:05,680 Speaker 1: is new normal for those guys. This is just every day, right. 290 00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:08,960 Speaker 1: They like communicating that way, So you know, there's obviously 291 00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:11,120 Speaker 1: things you missed. You missed that face to face contact 292 00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:14,280 Speaker 1: and communication at times, but we're still able to get 293 00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:16,480 Speaker 1: some of that via zoom, just like we're doing right 294 00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:18,880 Speaker 1: now and communicating and as long as we had that. 295 00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:21,040 Speaker 1: Fortunately we had the technology and the mediums to do that, 296 00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:23,480 Speaker 1: because if we didn't, then I don't know how this survives. 297 00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:27,160 Speaker 1: But it's been fairly seamless because of all the all 298 00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:29,560 Speaker 1: the resources that have been available to us. Well, we 299 00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:31,440 Speaker 1: want to thank you so much for the time, coach, 300 00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:33,840 Speaker 1: best of luck getting ready for the Chiefs. Thanks guys, 301 00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:36,600 Speaker 1: I appreciate it. All Right, there's Anthony Weaver joining us 302 00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:39,440 Speaker 1: to kick off the show today and Johnny, that's a 303 00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:41,400 Speaker 1: good point by him. Can you imagine trying to get 304 00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:44,520 Speaker 1: all this stuff done in the age of like maybe 305 00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:47,640 Speaker 1: even fax machines. You know, we got a fax machine 306 00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:50,920 Speaker 1: with a new play on it, or before fax machines, 307 00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:54,240 Speaker 1: I got a leather a letter from you via horse 308 00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:59,320 Speaker 1: and buggy. I mean the communication factor. They'd have couriers 309 00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:02,440 Speaker 1: running around delivering stuff. Obviously they'd be on the phone 310 00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:05,840 Speaker 1: a ton, but you wouldn't have this visual communication. And 311 00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:08,160 Speaker 1: they've been able to use the technology to their advantage. 312 00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:10,560 Speaker 1: But the other point he made that I thought was interesting, 313 00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:12,320 Speaker 1: and I think we're all going through this and whatever 314 00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:16,240 Speaker 1: business you're in the way you are doing things through 315 00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:19,880 Speaker 1: the coronavirus period. How many of these things are you 316 00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:23,080 Speaker 1: going to carry forward when this stuff totally dies down? 317 00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:26,760 Speaker 1: And I say when, not if, because it freaking better 318 00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:31,120 Speaker 1: as a society we have to have as a civilization. 319 00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:34,040 Speaker 1: We have to squash this thing and get back to 320 00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:37,520 Speaker 1: what we were doing and better, but get back to 321 00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:41,920 Speaker 1: what we were doing as a civilization. Yeah, I think 322 00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:45,760 Speaker 1: you're right if there's anything else like taking this time 323 00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:50,479 Speaker 1: to realize, Okay, I do this particular thing more efficiently 324 00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:54,760 Speaker 1: this way. I do this a little bit better that way, 325 00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:57,640 Speaker 1: and eventually you put some this ways with some that ways, 326 00:15:57,840 --> 00:16:00,840 Speaker 1: and hopefully you find your best way. I mean that 327 00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:03,520 Speaker 1: I think is kind of what what this is, you know, 328 00:16:03,640 --> 00:16:07,280 Speaker 1: showing showing all of us and and hopefully you know 329 00:16:07,280 --> 00:16:10,160 Speaker 1: we're all paying attention. It's funny when when we're talking 330 00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:12,960 Speaker 1: to leave, I kind of and you just mentioned it, 331 00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:14,960 Speaker 1: you know, the whole fax machine where you send them 332 00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:17,800 Speaker 1: piece of paper whatever. I mean. I remember panting my 333 00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:19,800 Speaker 1: players a long time ago, like a like a paper 334 00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:23,560 Speaker 1: playbook and like here, and you know the playbook wasn't 335 00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:27,760 Speaker 1: nfl uh, you know sized um, it was more kind 336 00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:29,960 Speaker 1: of the size of a small coastal town in South 337 00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:32,360 Speaker 1: Carolina or so as opposed to the New York City 338 00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:35,800 Speaker 1: phone book times too, But you still had the opportunity to, 339 00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:37,440 Speaker 1: you know, when you're with your guys, to go face 340 00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:39,760 Speaker 1: to face, to go up onto greasepoort and talk them 341 00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:41,440 Speaker 1: through Okay, this is what I meant when I you 342 00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:43,400 Speaker 1: saw this on the paper, then we'd go for it. 343 00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:46,960 Speaker 1: You know, imagine if you didn't have zoom for these 344 00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:49,840 Speaker 1: guys and all they're looking at is just even they're 345 00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:52,600 Speaker 1: just looking at the playbook and they're like, what does 346 00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:55,880 Speaker 1: that even mean? I don't even know what that means. 347 00:16:56,440 --> 00:16:58,440 Speaker 1: And maybe you could call Coach on the phone and say, Coach, 348 00:16:58,440 --> 00:16:59,760 Speaker 1: what does this mean? You might be able to talk 349 00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:02,240 Speaker 1: it to you, but you're still like, it's you don't 350 00:17:02,280 --> 00:17:03,480 Speaker 1: get the concept. And all of a sudden, you get 351 00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:05,720 Speaker 1: on zoom and Coach and get onto grease board and 352 00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:07,760 Speaker 1: do it in front of you and you're like, oh, okay, 353 00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:11,399 Speaker 1: I see it now. And I think that's where zoom 354 00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:14,840 Speaker 1: becomes a major, major help, because you can have all 355 00:17:14,840 --> 00:17:17,680 Speaker 1: the pieces of paper and you know the facts are 356 00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:20,480 Speaker 1: paying them a paper playbook or a big old notebook 357 00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:23,159 Speaker 1: that they can have with and take notes. But at 358 00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:24,960 Speaker 1: some point they've got to see what it looks like 359 00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:26,560 Speaker 1: up on a grease board, and a coach can show 360 00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:28,440 Speaker 1: them that, or they can get on discord and show 361 00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:30,520 Speaker 1: them the film or what it's supposed to look like. 362 00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:32,919 Speaker 1: And you have those opportunities to do that. Now. I 363 00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:37,560 Speaker 1: can't even imagine, just even fifteen twenty years ago, what 364 00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:40,240 Speaker 1: it would have been like. I mean, we wouldn't have 365 00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:42,600 Speaker 1: I mean, we don't have any any tools. I mean 366 00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:45,440 Speaker 1: the other day Zoom went down at some point in 367 00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:52,240 Speaker 1: our world, nearly shut down down. Yeah, it's like, well, 368 00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:57,359 Speaker 1: WiFi is as important as electricity pretty much, right, Yeah, 369 00:17:57,359 --> 00:18:00,400 Speaker 1: and all right, so you mentioned playbooks, right, which my 370 00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:04,040 Speaker 1: mind automatically went to the story of one Antoine Peak, 371 00:18:04,280 --> 00:18:09,000 Speaker 1: former Texans pass rusher outside linebacker back in the early days. 372 00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:12,080 Speaker 1: This is two thousand and five preseason. In fact, we're 373 00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:15,159 Speaker 1: coming up on the anniversary of this tomorrow. Okay, it 374 00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:17,600 Speaker 1: was fifteen years ago tomorrow. Do you know this story? 375 00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:22,200 Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't Okay. Antoine Peak had an 376 00:18:22,359 --> 00:18:26,920 Speaker 1: suv and he left it running at the team hotel 377 00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:32,480 Speaker 1: for training camp. Now, it was stolen the suv and 378 00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:39,240 Speaker 1: the playbook was in the suv. Naturally, I suspected the Colts, 379 00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:43,840 Speaker 1: but the car and the playbook inside it was recovered. Like, 380 00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:46,960 Speaker 1: I don't know if they went for a joy ride 381 00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:49,040 Speaker 1: and stole a bunch of other stuff and said, you know, 382 00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:51,000 Speaker 1: the Texans playbook. I don't know if we're gonna get 383 00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:52,560 Speaker 1: a whole lot out of this two thousand and five 384 00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:55,160 Speaker 1: Texans playbook. Let's just leave this in here. I mean, 385 00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:58,080 Speaker 1: how do you leave the playbook if nothing else. It's 386 00:18:58,080 --> 00:19:00,239 Speaker 1: a souvenir, you know. But I guess you know, when 387 00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:02,200 Speaker 1: you're stealing a car, you're kind of on the run. 388 00:19:02,680 --> 00:19:06,800 Speaker 1: You're not thinking clearly. Maybe, but it was one of 389 00:19:06,840 --> 00:19:10,120 Speaker 1: those deals where yeah, they recover the vehicle and they 390 00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:13,119 Speaker 1: recover the playbook as well. But now if you lose 391 00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:16,600 Speaker 1: your surface tablet, your iPad whatever they're using these days. 392 00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:20,040 Speaker 1: I think they're back to iPads, But your tablet with 393 00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:22,840 Speaker 1: all the plays in it. Jeff Schmidtz and his I guys, 394 00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:25,240 Speaker 1: the minute you turn that sucker on, it'll get wiped. 395 00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:27,760 Speaker 1: It's like mission impossible. This thing will self destruct in 396 00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:30,920 Speaker 1: five seconds. Yeah, don minds will have a paperweight. At 397 00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:32,720 Speaker 1: that point, I had the same thing happened to Mark. 398 00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:35,159 Speaker 1: Now I didn't leave my car running. But this is 399 00:19:35,160 --> 00:19:37,280 Speaker 1: when I was living in Jacksonville and I was coaching 400 00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:39,280 Speaker 1: with a buddy of mine's my first year there, and 401 00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:42,640 Speaker 1: we were gonna run University of Florida's defense that Ron 402 00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:46,280 Speaker 1: Zook ran, and so he gave me a copy of 403 00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:48,679 Speaker 1: the Gators playbook and I had it in my I 404 00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:53,560 Speaker 1: had it in my backpack, um, my teaching backpack, and yeah, 405 00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:56,040 Speaker 1: big old I mean, it's the biggest thing in my notebook. 406 00:19:56,040 --> 00:19:59,360 Speaker 1: And somebody broke into a bunch of cars and they 407 00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:02,680 Speaker 1: went in and they just snatched my backpack and with 408 00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:04,439 Speaker 1: it had the playbook in it. And that was one 409 00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:06,240 Speaker 1: of those times where you didn't have it on the surface. 410 00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:10,399 Speaker 1: It was a literal notebook. And I was like, well, um, 411 00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:12,679 Speaker 1: I guess they're gonna have some good reading tonight. And 412 00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:15,040 Speaker 1: so I told my buddy that. I told my buddy 413 00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:17,080 Speaker 1: that it, you know, it got stolen, and at first 414 00:20:17,080 --> 00:20:19,080 Speaker 1: he was kind of like, oh man, what and he 415 00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:21,840 Speaker 1: stopped and he thought, he us, and you know, we'll 416 00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:23,680 Speaker 1: be fine. We're not very good anyways, And that was 417 00:20:23,760 --> 00:20:25,600 Speaker 1: kind of his comment and we finished too and eight, 418 00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:28,440 Speaker 1: So um, you know, he didn't make a big deal 419 00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:29,680 Speaker 1: out of it, but I just felt so bad that 420 00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:31,760 Speaker 1: I lost bad a moment like that, and I was 421 00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:33,560 Speaker 1: just sick to my stomach. I was like, oh, I 422 00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:36,199 Speaker 1: can't believe I had this thing, had this thing stolen. 423 00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:38,240 Speaker 1: But you're right, you know, now, you would do it 424 00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:41,360 Speaker 1: all on on surface, you would do it all on iPad, 425 00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:44,520 Speaker 1: and hey, Jeff, something happened and that thing is dead. 426 00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:46,399 Speaker 1: That thing's a paper weight at that point, you know, 427 00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:48,439 Speaker 1: So you're not really getting much out of it if 428 00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:51,560 Speaker 1: you're taking it. But I know, Mark, I know that 429 00:20:51,600 --> 00:20:53,640 Speaker 1: at least there's still to this day at least one 430 00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:56,359 Speaker 1: percent of you that believes a cult stole his stole 431 00:20:56,400 --> 00:20:59,280 Speaker 1: his truck. I get there, there's at least one percent 432 00:20:59,320 --> 00:21:02,359 Speaker 1: of you. Well, all right, so this is fall of 433 00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:04,480 Speaker 1: two thousand and five. Now, remember two thousand and four, 434 00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:07,840 Speaker 1: the Texans finished seven and nine, not obviously not a 435 00:21:07,840 --> 00:21:09,800 Speaker 1: great year, but that was their best record at the time. 436 00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:11,920 Speaker 1: They had the chance to finish eight and eight, but 437 00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:13,919 Speaker 1: they lost to Cleveland on the final day of the 438 00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:18,159 Speaker 1: regular season, which was a huge disappointment because they had 439 00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:20,320 Speaker 1: just beaten Chicago and Jacksonville on the road. That was 440 00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:22,560 Speaker 1: the cold game in Chicago, and we'll talk about that 441 00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:24,359 Speaker 1: plenty this year when we go back to the Windy 442 00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:26,760 Speaker 1: City for only the third time in the history of 443 00:21:26,800 --> 00:21:31,080 Speaker 1: the franchise. So a plenty of discussion there. But you know, 444 00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:33,520 Speaker 1: who were the Texans a threat too at that point? 445 00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:35,280 Speaker 1: I guess you know a lot of people thought they 446 00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:36,840 Speaker 1: had a chance to make the playoffs at oh five 447 00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:38,200 Speaker 1: and then they go two and fourteen. I mean, it 448 00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:40,880 Speaker 1: was a disaster. But going into the season, you thought, 449 00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:43,040 Speaker 1: all right, you just finished seven and nine, you finished 450 00:21:43,040 --> 00:21:46,120 Speaker 1: the kind of strong. I mean, that last game was horrible, 451 00:21:46,359 --> 00:21:48,120 Speaker 1: but I don't know, I don't know if anybody thought 452 00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:50,840 Speaker 1: they were threat. And Johnny, you know, back then, offensively, 453 00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:52,800 Speaker 1: I made the joke about, you know, the playbook is 454 00:21:52,800 --> 00:21:54,840 Speaker 1: it really that effective? And I got I got a 455 00:21:54,920 --> 00:21:59,080 Speaker 1: text right away like, yeah, the offense you know, didn't 456 00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:02,479 Speaker 1: didn't erupt until oh seven. I don't know if i'd 457 00:22:02,520 --> 00:22:04,320 Speaker 1: call O seven an eruption, but it kind of it 458 00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:06,520 Speaker 1: kind of was, you know, seven, O eight, oh nine. 459 00:22:06,560 --> 00:22:08,040 Speaker 1: They start to get going and they get they end 460 00:22:08,119 --> 00:22:11,480 Speaker 1: up in the top five in the league. Offensively, early 461 00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:14,240 Speaker 1: on I remember this. You know, we talk about never 462 00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:17,880 Speaker 1: hitting thirty touchdown passes. The three hundred yard game, I'd 463 00:22:17,880 --> 00:22:19,639 Speaker 1: have to look this up. I want to say that 464 00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:22,320 Speaker 1: Texans only had maybe one three hundred yard game in 465 00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:26,159 Speaker 1: the first four years, maybe five years of franchise history offense, 466 00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:29,200 Speaker 1: I mean not offensively in total offense, but in passing 467 00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:33,440 Speaker 1: three hundred yard passing game. I mean that that boggles 468 00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:36,080 Speaker 1: the mind. Johnny, it boggles the mind how tough it 469 00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:38,360 Speaker 1: was to throw the football. That's with Andrey Johnson. It's 470 00:22:38,359 --> 00:22:40,720 Speaker 1: some big games, but you know, they just didn't have 471 00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:43,399 Speaker 1: a big arsenal. And he just made the argument for 472 00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:46,760 Speaker 1: Andre Johnson getting in the Hall of Fame. I mean, yeah, yeah, 473 00:22:46,760 --> 00:22:50,639 Speaker 1: it's one of yeah, because how many years did Andre play? 474 00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:53,520 Speaker 1: One in three, four or five six, So four years 475 00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:59,480 Speaker 1: before shab got there. And his longest TD reception before 476 00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:02,000 Speaker 1: shot in four years of playing, and he made a 477 00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:04,760 Speaker 1: Pro Bowl or two right in four years of playing, 478 00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:07,959 Speaker 1: was fifty three yards. I want to say the first 479 00:23:08,080 --> 00:23:10,879 Speaker 1: day with match Shop, the first day, opening day, they 480 00:23:10,920 --> 00:23:14,920 Speaker 1: go seventy plus on a bomb, you know, Kubiak design typical, 481 00:23:15,040 --> 00:23:18,399 Speaker 1: you know, play fake bootleg boom. You know, Andre Johnson 482 00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:22,359 Speaker 1: wide open down field. So things things changed dramatically, but 483 00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:25,720 Speaker 1: little memory Lane for you. And speaking of memory Lane, 484 00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:30,840 Speaker 1: scrimmage todight, So scrimmage. I wrote about this stuff yesterday 485 00:23:31,440 --> 00:23:36,160 Speaker 1: and the first two years of franchise history, you had scrimmages, 486 00:23:36,240 --> 00:23:41,560 Speaker 1: not preseason game scrimmages against the Dallas Cowboys. Boy, how 487 00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:43,399 Speaker 1: I'd love to see that again. You know, I know 488 00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:45,840 Speaker 1: you can't do it this year, but wouldn't that be amazing. 489 00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:47,760 Speaker 1: Let's talk about that and some other stuff with the 490 00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:51,800 Speaker 1: General John McClane. He's coming up next.

I hope they get those played, 594 00:30:14,200 --> 00:30:17,800 Speaker 1: and Major League Baseball weighing in with a couple of 595 00:30:17,840 --> 00:30:21,719 Speaker 1: postponements as well, and the Indianapolis Colts tweeted recently today 596 00:30:22,480 --> 00:30:26,120 Speaker 1: the Colts will not practice today. Instead, the team will 597 00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:31,240 Speaker 1: use the day to discuss work and or to discuss 598 00:30:31,280 --> 00:30:33,400 Speaker 1: and work towards Sorry I was interrupted by vander Kidd 599 00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:37,320 Speaker 1: to discuss and work toward making a lasting social impact 600 00:30:37,680 --> 00:30:40,440 Speaker 1: and inspiring change in our communities. So the Cults are 601 00:30:40,440 --> 00:30:43,280 Speaker 1: not going to practice today. I imagine they'll have some company. 602 00:30:43,520 --> 00:30:46,600 Speaker 1: John McClain joins us now, Mark vandermir and John Harris 603 00:30:46,640 --> 00:30:49,680 Speaker 1: with you. Good morning general, Good morning guys. How are 604 00:30:49,680 --> 00:30:53,440 Speaker 1: you good doing well? John, So tell me your thoughts 605 00:30:53,480 --> 00:30:56,680 Speaker 1: on what the culture doing. Have you heard anything about 606 00:30:56,680 --> 00:30:59,400 Speaker 1: what might happen here locally any other teams, and your 607 00:30:59,400 --> 00:31:01,200 Speaker 1: thoughts in I don't know what went down in the 608 00:31:01,320 --> 00:31:05,280 Speaker 1: NBA and beyond and professional sports yesterday. Well, first of all, 609 00:31:05,320 --> 00:31:08,680 Speaker 1: the Texans had a plan to postpone the scrimmage tonight 610 00:31:08,760 --> 00:31:13,000 Speaker 1: because of her again Laura, of course, which Texas got 611 00:31:13,160 --> 00:31:16,360 Speaker 1: really not our part of Texas got really lucky to 612 00:31:16,400 --> 00:31:19,560 Speaker 1: be spared. And so they have that plan and I 613 00:31:19,600 --> 00:31:21,280 Speaker 1: don't know what it is, but they would have the 614 00:31:21,320 --> 00:31:24,880 Speaker 1: scrimmage on another day. So they have been at the 615 00:31:24,960 --> 00:31:29,840 Speaker 1: forefront of NFL teams since George Floyd was killed. About 616 00:31:29,960 --> 00:31:33,480 Speaker 1: everything they've done, from Bill O'Brien saying he would take 617 00:31:33,480 --> 00:31:38,080 Speaker 1: a knee, Cal McNair doing video immediately supporting his players 618 00:31:38,080 --> 00:31:41,280 Speaker 1: and O'Brien, and then the thing that Cal and his 619 00:31:41,360 --> 00:31:46,640 Speaker 1: wife Hanna and Janis McNair did the conversations for change 620 00:31:46,640 --> 00:31:49,920 Speaker 1: on your website. I think that was a ten part series. 621 00:31:49,960 --> 00:31:53,080 Speaker 1: So they've been at the forefront. So I'll be surprised 622 00:31:53,160 --> 00:31:57,000 Speaker 1: if they don't call it off. I just since they 623 00:31:57,000 --> 00:31:59,760 Speaker 1: already have a plan anyway, it would be an easy 624 00:31:59,800 --> 00:32:03,080 Speaker 1: thing to do. Maybe they won't, but I believe they will, 625 00:32:03,440 --> 00:32:06,840 Speaker 1: but that's just me guessing. I have no inside information 626 00:32:06,880 --> 00:32:10,240 Speaker 1: on this. And once the Bucks decided not to play, 627 00:32:11,040 --> 00:32:14,920 Speaker 1: Adam Silver made the decision to postpone all the games, 628 00:32:15,400 --> 00:32:18,160 Speaker 1: and then there's talk that the Clippers and the Lakers 629 00:32:18,240 --> 00:32:21,280 Speaker 1: voted to cancel the season. They were the only teams 630 00:32:21,320 --> 00:32:24,920 Speaker 1: that did that, And so we'll see where it goes. 631 00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:28,520 Speaker 1: I thought for months now the NFL players would take 632 00:32:28,560 --> 00:32:31,959 Speaker 1: a knee, and Bill O'Brien will take a knee, and 633 00:32:32,240 --> 00:32:35,000 Speaker 1: they'll do it across the league. And I think if 634 00:32:35,040 --> 00:32:39,880 Speaker 1: anybody had any doubts this latest shooting will spur them on. 635 00:32:40,440 --> 00:32:43,400 Speaker 1: Jerry Jones is still trying to get around it, and 636 00:32:44,800 --> 00:32:47,600 Speaker 1: I think that if he does try to convince his 637 00:32:47,720 --> 00:32:50,640 Speaker 1: players to not be in lockstep with the rest of 638 00:32:50,640 --> 00:32:53,760 Speaker 1: the league, that would not be good. Did not send 639 00:32:53,760 --> 00:32:58,400 Speaker 1: a good message. But we'll see it's not going away. 640 00:32:58,600 --> 00:33:02,720 Speaker 1: And the thing that the thing that gets me, the 641 00:33:02,840 --> 00:33:05,840 Speaker 1: whole idea of protesting is to raise awareness. Well, the 642 00:33:05,960 --> 00:33:09,840 Speaker 1: awareness has been raised, but as it led to change, 643 00:33:09,920 --> 00:33:13,080 Speaker 1: it's led to a lot of people being aware. A 644 00:33:13,080 --> 00:33:17,400 Speaker 1: lot of change is someplace, but we still see black 645 00:33:17,440 --> 00:33:21,960 Speaker 1: guys getting shot by white policemen, like in Kenosha, Wisconsin. 646 00:33:22,240 --> 00:33:25,320 Speaker 1: And I don't know what the answer is. I just don't, 647 00:33:25,680 --> 00:33:28,320 Speaker 1: you know. I'm old enough. I've been seeing protests and 648 00:33:28,480 --> 00:33:31,960 Speaker 1: riots going back to the sixties, and I just don't 649 00:33:32,080 --> 00:33:34,960 Speaker 1: know what. Yes, we do know what the answer is, 650 00:33:35,320 --> 00:33:37,600 Speaker 1: but so far they haven't been able to stop it. 651 00:33:38,240 --> 00:33:42,080 Speaker 1: In addition to the Colts, Albert Breer says that the 652 00:33:42,120 --> 00:33:45,440 Speaker 1: Washington football team and the Jets of both announced that 653 00:33:45,520 --> 00:33:47,680 Speaker 1: they are not practicing today. In general, you sort of 654 00:33:47,680 --> 00:33:49,800 Speaker 1: alluded to it at the very end. Mark and I 655 00:33:49,840 --> 00:33:52,520 Speaker 1: were talking about it last night. Just the confluence of 656 00:33:52,560 --> 00:33:57,080 Speaker 1: events of all the things that were happening in our 657 00:33:57,240 --> 00:34:01,880 Speaker 1: country yesterday, between the boycott playoff games we saw throughout 658 00:34:02,240 --> 00:34:05,560 Speaker 1: major professional sports in this area, we got Hurricane Laura 659 00:34:05,600 --> 00:34:08,280 Speaker 1: bearing down on the coast, you got the Republican National 660 00:34:08,320 --> 00:34:11,160 Speaker 1: Convention last night where the Vice President was speaking. It 661 00:34:11,200 --> 00:34:13,480 Speaker 1: felt like one of those days you'll sit back and 662 00:34:14,040 --> 00:34:17,319 Speaker 1: reminisce in some way shape or form later in life 663 00:34:17,320 --> 00:34:19,759 Speaker 1: and hope that the change you spoke of does come 664 00:34:19,760 --> 00:34:22,000 Speaker 1: out of there. But do you ever remember a distinct 665 00:34:22,040 --> 00:34:25,080 Speaker 1: time general, when we had kind of all these sort 666 00:34:25,120 --> 00:34:29,480 Speaker 1: of different events sort of co mingling all at once. Oh, 667 00:34:29,640 --> 00:34:32,160 Speaker 1: nineteen sixty eight was one hundred times worse than what 668 00:34:32,239 --> 00:34:37,360 Speaker 1: we've seen. Assassinations of Martin Luther King, Bobby Kennedy, people 669 00:34:37,400 --> 00:34:42,160 Speaker 1: being killed on college campuses by the National Guard and police, 670 00:34:42,280 --> 00:34:46,160 Speaker 1: and the sixty eight Olympics, and John Carlos and Tommy 671 00:34:46,239 --> 00:34:50,000 Speaker 1: Smith's protest. I mean, it was brutal all over the 672 00:34:50,040 --> 00:34:53,440 Speaker 1: country throughout nineteen sixty eight. And if people want to 673 00:34:53,440 --> 00:34:56,719 Speaker 1: know about it, google nineteen sixty eight and see the 674 00:34:56,840 --> 00:35:00,359 Speaker 1: timeline and many of the things they were protesting then, 675 00:35:00,440 --> 00:35:03,239 Speaker 1: mainly in the Vietnam war, But a lot of those 676 00:35:03,280 --> 00:35:07,160 Speaker 1: problems still exist today, especially when it comes to racism. 677 00:35:07,280 --> 00:35:11,600 Speaker 1: So hopefully it will never ever be again like nineteen 678 00:35:11,760 --> 00:35:15,360 Speaker 1: sixty eight where the Democratic Convention in Chicago led to 679 00:35:15,480 --> 00:35:20,120 Speaker 1: shooting and arrests and riots and burnings. And we haven't 680 00:35:20,160 --> 00:35:24,160 Speaker 1: had that with our conventions. And that's good, John, And 681 00:35:24,360 --> 00:35:28,640 Speaker 1: social media yesterday Muhammad Ali's name came up, and what 682 00:35:28,719 --> 00:35:32,160 Speaker 1: can you share with the listeners about any recollection you 683 00:35:32,239 --> 00:35:35,360 Speaker 1: might have about that. You were extremely young when that happened, 684 00:35:35,920 --> 00:35:39,560 Speaker 1: but what can you tell us historically about how that 685 00:35:39,680 --> 00:35:42,480 Speaker 1: played at the time and the memories of it now. 686 00:35:43,120 --> 00:35:46,080 Speaker 1: But white people went crazy against him. You know, he 687 00:35:46,160 --> 00:35:49,960 Speaker 1: was the heavyweight champion and he was Cassius Clay. A 688 00:35:50,000 --> 00:35:52,520 Speaker 1: lot of people after he changed his name to Muhammad 689 00:35:52,560 --> 00:35:56,400 Speaker 1: Ali wouldn't call him Ali. People in the media, other fighters, 690 00:35:56,760 --> 00:35:59,799 Speaker 1: including black fighters, wouldn't call him that. And then when 691 00:35:59,800 --> 00:36:02,839 Speaker 1: they wanted to draft him, he said no because his 692 00:36:02,920 --> 00:36:06,319 Speaker 1: religion did not allow him to kill people. And so 693 00:36:06,440 --> 00:36:09,560 Speaker 1: he came to Houston and that's where he got sentenced, 694 00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:13,160 Speaker 1: and they stripped him of everything and stripped him of 695 00:36:13,719 --> 00:36:16,279 Speaker 1: I think it was three years that he could have 696 00:36:16,320 --> 00:36:19,200 Speaker 1: been fighting. But you know what he stood up for, 697 00:36:19,320 --> 00:36:22,840 Speaker 1: what he believed in, and and you know, he is 698 00:36:22,880 --> 00:36:26,239 Speaker 1: one of the most I can't think of any athlete 699 00:36:26,320 --> 00:36:30,719 Speaker 1: more revered around the world than Ali was and continues 700 00:36:30,800 --> 00:36:34,239 Speaker 1: to be. And there's a famous picture in Cleveland and 701 00:36:34,440 --> 00:36:38,120 Speaker 1: him and Bill Russell and Jim Brown and Abdul's bar 702 00:36:38,239 --> 00:36:45,400 Speaker 1: and a bunch of politicians about they were protesting racism 703 00:36:45,480 --> 00:36:48,920 Speaker 1: and Ali was at the forefront, and man, did he 704 00:36:48,960 --> 00:36:52,439 Speaker 1: get treated really bad. And then when he came back 705 00:36:52,480 --> 00:36:56,200 Speaker 1: and people began to accept him and started calling Ali, 706 00:36:56,360 --> 00:36:58,920 Speaker 1: and he kept fighting, and he had the great fights 707 00:36:58,960 --> 00:37:02,920 Speaker 1: against Joe Fraser, George Foreman, and he continues to stand 708 00:37:03,000 --> 00:37:07,759 Speaker 1: up for racism, and he started to earn a lot 709 00:37:07,800 --> 00:37:10,640 Speaker 1: of respect. And then by the time later in life, 710 00:37:10,680 --> 00:37:13,879 Speaker 1: you know, he's respected by people of all races all 711 00:37:13,880 --> 00:37:17,600 Speaker 1: over the world. General Adam Scepter just tweeted, and I've 712 00:37:17,600 --> 00:37:19,400 Speaker 1: seen kind of this from other people as well. The 713 00:37:19,480 --> 00:37:23,240 Speaker 1: head coaches and executives from Cleveland's three major professional teams 714 00:37:23,640 --> 00:37:26,240 Speaker 1: sports teams, the Calves, the Browns, the Indians are forming 715 00:37:26,280 --> 00:37:29,280 Speaker 1: a sports alliance to develop a sustainable and direct strategy 716 00:37:29,320 --> 00:37:32,239 Speaker 1: to address social injustice facing the city of Cleveland. And 717 00:37:32,280 --> 00:37:36,120 Speaker 1: all of northeast Ohio. Could you envision a scenario where 718 00:37:36,160 --> 00:37:39,560 Speaker 1: that maybe happens here with the Texans, Astros, rockets, you know, 719 00:37:39,600 --> 00:37:43,160 Speaker 1: maybe Dynamo Dash, etc. That would get involved in maybe 720 00:37:43,160 --> 00:37:45,799 Speaker 1: following maybe a model the same way. Could you first 721 00:37:45,800 --> 00:37:49,520 Speaker 1: see something like that happening? They could be I mean teams, 722 00:37:49,880 --> 00:37:53,319 Speaker 1: teams wanted to do things. The Texans did things right 723 00:37:53,320 --> 00:37:57,080 Speaker 1: away after George Floyd was killed. Remember I think it 724 00:37:57,120 --> 00:38:00,399 Speaker 1: was in two thousand and sixteen. I can't remember if 725 00:38:00,400 --> 00:38:04,600 Speaker 1: it was in response to riots in Baltimore Saint Louis. 726 00:38:04,640 --> 00:38:08,799 Speaker 1: Bob McNair got several players, including Dwayne Brown, and they 727 00:38:08,840 --> 00:38:11,440 Speaker 1: went and met with the mayor and all the politicians 728 00:38:11,840 --> 00:38:15,600 Speaker 1: to see what the Texans could do to help Houston 729 00:38:15,760 --> 00:38:19,279 Speaker 1: avoid the situation like was having in other cities. And 730 00:38:19,360 --> 00:38:22,840 Speaker 1: I remember covering it and the politicians of McNair and 731 00:38:23,000 --> 00:38:26,680 Speaker 1: Dwayne Brown praising Bob McNair and his role in the 732 00:38:26,719 --> 00:38:30,520 Speaker 1: politician praising the Texans for one of being at the forefront. 733 00:38:30,560 --> 00:38:33,480 Speaker 1: And I don't know whatever happened after that, but that 734 00:38:33,600 --> 00:38:37,520 Speaker 1: was a really big deal. And Sylvester Turner, our mayor, 735 00:38:37,560 --> 00:38:40,520 Speaker 1: you know, he's right up there out front on everything, 736 00:38:40,600 --> 00:38:43,960 Speaker 1: whether it's race or things that are good for our city. 737 00:38:44,000 --> 00:38:47,640 Speaker 1: But I would imagine that we'll see something I don't 738 00:38:47,680 --> 00:38:51,680 Speaker 1: know if it'll be collectively or individually, that our teams 739 00:38:52,080 --> 00:38:56,200 Speaker 1: will try to do more. John, I think with two 740 00:38:56,239 --> 00:38:59,360 Speaker 1: weeks to go until the opener, it's two weeks from tonight, 741 00:39:00,160 --> 00:39:02,040 Speaker 1: I think what's on a lot of people's minds this 742 00:39:02,160 --> 00:39:07,200 Speaker 1: morning sports wise, is, after seeing what happened yesterday, is 743 00:39:07,239 --> 00:39:09,800 Speaker 1: this going to happen in the National Football League? Could 744 00:39:09,800 --> 00:39:11,800 Speaker 1: this happen in the NFL? And I guess the answer 745 00:39:11,800 --> 00:39:14,080 Speaker 1: to could this happen as absolutely yes, But what are 746 00:39:14,080 --> 00:39:16,320 Speaker 1: your thoughts on that? As we are a couple of 747 00:39:16,360 --> 00:39:20,000 Speaker 1: weeks away from opening night. NBA players have been paid 748 00:39:20,000 --> 00:39:24,239 Speaker 1: their salaries, so when they boycott a game, and I'm 749 00:39:24,280 --> 00:39:27,080 Speaker 1: assuming they're gonna make those games up, but you know 750 00:39:27,120 --> 00:39:30,640 Speaker 1: they're losing playoff money. We're in the NFL, you're paid 751 00:39:30,680 --> 00:39:35,080 Speaker 1: over seventeen weeks. If you say the Texans and the 752 00:39:35,160 --> 00:39:37,560 Speaker 1: Chiefs were decided they're not going to play that game 753 00:39:38,360 --> 00:39:42,719 Speaker 1: that is national telecast in which a team's pay networks 754 00:39:42,760 --> 00:39:46,960 Speaker 1: paying hundreds of millions of dollars, and if players don't 755 00:39:47,000 --> 00:39:49,239 Speaker 1: play the game, if it's delayed to some of the 756 00:39:49,320 --> 00:39:52,000 Speaker 1: time of the season. But if they don't say the 757 00:39:52,080 --> 00:39:55,319 Speaker 1: season's cut short, I doubt seriously they're gonna get paid. 758 00:39:55,400 --> 00:39:58,960 Speaker 1: When you get paid over seventeen weeks, losing game checks 759 00:39:59,000 --> 00:40:01,319 Speaker 1: can be a whole a lot of money, but some 760 00:40:01,360 --> 00:40:05,799 Speaker 1: players believe it's worth it. But so I write down 761 00:40:05,840 --> 00:40:13,400 Speaker 1: it's like Pete Carroll said, anything is possible at this juncture. 762 00:40:13,800 --> 00:40:15,839 Speaker 1: I was just gonna say, general, if we got one 763 00:40:15,920 --> 00:40:19,000 Speaker 1: final football note in training camp pretty much ending today, 764 00:40:19,400 --> 00:40:23,680 Speaker 1: who'd you say was the most impressive player at training camp? 765 00:40:24,320 --> 00:40:28,200 Speaker 1: Jordan Thomas because so little, I didn't expect anything from him, 766 00:40:28,680 --> 00:40:30,719 Speaker 1: and I thought he might have a hard time making 767 00:40:30,760 --> 00:40:33,560 Speaker 1: a team or maybe trade bait. But that kid, I 768 00:40:33,600 --> 00:40:36,879 Speaker 1: had seen videos of how hard he worked in the offseason. 769 00:40:36,920 --> 00:40:40,520 Speaker 1: He stepped up, and he stepped up in a big way. This. 770 00:40:40,880 --> 00:40:43,520 Speaker 1: You know, it's hard on defense because they can't hit anybody. 771 00:40:43,880 --> 00:40:47,120 Speaker 1: So really you're going with catching a ball, lyneman can't 772 00:40:47,200 --> 00:40:50,280 Speaker 1: hit each other. The second one would be David Johnson. 773 00:40:50,400 --> 00:40:54,080 Speaker 1: Now nobody's hitting him, but he just looks so good 774 00:40:54,239 --> 00:40:57,960 Speaker 1: fast catching a ball down the field, jump cuts vision 775 00:40:58,120 --> 00:41:01,880 Speaker 1: everything about him and he's a player that they're counting 776 00:41:01,880 --> 00:41:04,799 Speaker 1: on a whole lot more than Jordan Thomas because they're 777 00:41:04,840 --> 00:41:08,120 Speaker 1: so loaded at tight end. John, what do you have 778 00:41:08,160 --> 00:41:11,560 Speaker 1: going out in the Houston Chronicle. Well, we've got stories 779 00:41:11,840 --> 00:41:14,680 Speaker 1: Aaron Wilson. I have a podcast about Kenny Stills and 780 00:41:15,520 --> 00:41:19,000 Speaker 1: things that he talked about, and Jacob Martin about what 781 00:41:19,120 --> 00:41:23,040 Speaker 1: happened in Wisconsin.

I mean, yeah, I guess, 905 00:48:40,400 --> 00:48:42,919 Speaker 1: I mean I don't know. When you say Washington, I 906 00:48:43,000 --> 00:48:45,359 Speaker 1: think of the University of Washington. I don't know why. 907 00:48:45,840 --> 00:48:49,560 Speaker 1: Maybe it's just because Redskins is just so ingrained in 908 00:48:49,600 --> 00:48:53,040 Speaker 1: the head. I don't know, but I think people are 909 00:48:53,080 --> 00:48:55,879 Speaker 1: saying it maybe a little bit more kind of kind 910 00:48:55,880 --> 00:48:59,000 Speaker 1: of like tongue in cheek, like to stress the point. Yeah, yeah, 911 00:48:59,160 --> 00:49:04,040 Speaker 1: I have to say Washington football team to see I mean, 912 00:49:04,160 --> 00:49:06,080 Speaker 1: I guess, I mean we you know, we have that. 913 00:49:06,239 --> 00:49:08,440 Speaker 1: You have that in soccer. You know you have the 914 00:49:08,640 --> 00:49:14,799 Speaker 1: uh uh Barcelona Football Club. So yeah, I guess it's okay. Yeah, 915 00:49:14,840 --> 00:49:17,440 Speaker 1: I mean it's fine. I don't have a problem with it. 916 00:49:17,880 --> 00:49:20,800 Speaker 1: If I were there, guy and somebody scores a touchdown, 917 00:49:20,840 --> 00:49:25,120 Speaker 1: to be like touchdown Washington football team, you know, like 918 00:49:25,160 --> 00:49:26,919 Speaker 1: I would make a big deal about it. You could 919 00:49:26,920 --> 00:49:28,680 Speaker 1: have that all the time. I can see that, I 920 00:49:28,719 --> 00:49:31,040 Speaker 1: could see it. I can see the size, and it 921 00:49:31,080 --> 00:49:33,600 Speaker 1: becomes real. Now they'll come up with the name eventually, 922 00:49:33,600 --> 00:49:35,360 Speaker 1: I would imagine, or maybe there's sticks. I don't know, 923 00:49:35,719 --> 00:49:37,839 Speaker 1: they'll see how if they have a phenomenal season, which 924 00:49:37,880 --> 00:49:42,480 Speaker 1: is unlikely, but if they do, you, yeah, you have 925 00:49:42,560 --> 00:49:44,319 Speaker 1: to you have to keep it. There's no doubt now, 926 00:49:44,840 --> 00:49:47,720 Speaker 1: uh the team in it in nearby to the Washington 927 00:49:47,719 --> 00:49:50,239 Speaker 1: football team Baltimore Ravens. They just tweeted about a half 928 00:49:50,239 --> 00:49:52,759 Speaker 1: hour ago saying that their team decided to practice, but 929 00:49:52,840 --> 00:49:55,680 Speaker 1: after practice, the team would come together for a meeting 930 00:49:55,719 --> 00:49:58,240 Speaker 1: to discuss and work on a plan for continued social 931 00:49:58,280 --> 00:50:01,560 Speaker 1: justice reform efforts. And Brent Martineau, my buddy down Jacksonville, 932 00:50:01,600 --> 00:50:04,040 Speaker 1: said the Jacks are still in a meeting and deciding 933 00:50:04,040 --> 00:50:06,600 Speaker 1: what they're gonna do today. So some teams taking the 934 00:50:06,600 --> 00:50:11,600 Speaker 1: opportunity here at this point to meet and discuss what 935 00:50:11,640 --> 00:50:14,000 Speaker 1: it is that they want to do. I thought that Cleveland, 936 00:50:15,320 --> 00:50:21,279 Speaker 1: the Cleveland troika of team professional teams getting together was 937 00:50:21,280 --> 00:50:24,439 Speaker 1: was a pretty interesting and intriguing concept. And I wonder 938 00:50:24,480 --> 00:50:26,440 Speaker 1: how many cities will end up following their leading. So 939 00:50:26,840 --> 00:50:28,320 Speaker 1: we'll see what that was. That was kind of interesting 940 00:50:28,360 --> 00:50:30,160 Speaker 1: to see what they were doing. I think the band 941 00:50:30,160 --> 00:50:33,600 Speaker 1: together does sound interesting. And John McLean brought up that, 942 00:50:33,800 --> 00:50:36,520 Speaker 1: you know, once upon a time, Bob McNair and Dwayne Brown, 943 00:50:36,560 --> 00:50:39,319 Speaker 1: they all got together and got together with the mayor 944 00:50:39,360 --> 00:50:43,399 Speaker 1: and city officials and try to come up with some 945 00:50:43,520 --> 00:50:45,680 Speaker 1: kind of plans, some kind of effort to help and 946 00:50:46,120 --> 00:50:51,360 Speaker 1: you know, look it's funny, because not funny, it's strange 947 00:50:51,480 --> 00:50:55,239 Speaker 1: because a lot of teams, a lot of organizations do 948 00:50:55,440 --> 00:50:59,560 Speaker 1: try and do make some progress here and there. Okay, 949 00:50:59,600 --> 00:51:02,439 Speaker 1: and and I would hate to see what is going 950 00:51:02,480 --> 00:51:08,400 Speaker 1: on now just dismiss the efforts of so many people 951 00:51:08,520 --> 00:51:10,880 Speaker 1: and so many organizations who have tried to make progress 952 00:51:10,880 --> 00:51:13,920 Speaker 1: in these areas. Right, you know, obviously more needs to 953 00:51:13,960 --> 00:51:17,320 Speaker 1: be made. I mean, there's no question. But you can't 954 00:51:17,440 --> 00:51:20,480 Speaker 1: dismiss and write off what people have tried to do, 955 00:51:20,560 --> 00:51:24,040 Speaker 1: including this organization, the Houston Texans. I mean, the list 956 00:51:24,160 --> 00:51:27,359 Speaker 1: is long of efforts the Texans have made in the 957 00:51:27,400 --> 00:51:30,760 Speaker 1: community to make a difference. I think, you know, partnering 958 00:51:30,800 --> 00:51:33,040 Speaker 1: with the Boys and the Boys and Girls Clubs is 959 00:51:33,080 --> 00:51:36,279 Speaker 1: a huge deal in this city. I mean, I've been 960 00:51:36,400 --> 00:51:40,080 Speaker 1: to these places and the work they do is phenomenal 961 00:51:40,560 --> 00:51:43,799 Speaker 1: in the communities they serve, and the Houston Texans y 962 00:51:43,880 --> 00:51:47,600 Speaker 1: MCA the community it serves, and the Food Bank too. 963 00:51:47,640 --> 00:51:50,200 Speaker 1: I mean, the three partners that the Texans have really 964 00:51:50,719 --> 00:51:54,239 Speaker 1: latched onto joined up with to make a difference in 965 00:51:54,280 --> 00:51:57,080 Speaker 1: the Houston community. And again, I'm not trying to say, oh, well, 966 00:51:57,120 --> 00:51:59,600 Speaker 1: that means everything's all right, But I'm just saying you 967 00:51:59,600 --> 00:52:02,640 Speaker 1: have to have to recognize and mark mark some progress 968 00:52:02,640 --> 00:52:05,239 Speaker 1: in certain areas. But what is going on now, is 969 00:52:05,800 --> 00:52:08,279 Speaker 1: Johnny the one thing that I you know, I look 970 00:52:08,320 --> 00:52:10,520 Speaker 1: at this and what the Ravens said about we're gonna 971 00:52:10,520 --> 00:52:12,120 Speaker 1: get together and talk, and I think it's all great. 972 00:52:12,120 --> 00:52:14,400 Speaker 1: And believe me, the NFL, when you see the NFL 973 00:52:14,480 --> 00:52:16,680 Speaker 1: on television this year, it is going to look different. 974 00:52:17,440 --> 00:52:20,960 Speaker 1: They have really made a lot of moves here to 975 00:52:21,120 --> 00:52:25,240 Speaker 1: enable players to express themselves and what's important to them, 976 00:52:25,640 --> 00:52:28,399 Speaker 1: and it will look unlike anything you've seen before. I 977 00:52:28,480 --> 00:52:31,319 Speaker 1: have the deck, Okay, I know what it's going to be, 978 00:52:31,680 --> 00:52:34,200 Speaker 1: and you will be surprised. And it's when people see 979 00:52:34,200 --> 00:52:35,840 Speaker 1: it they're gonna think, well, that must have happened in 980 00:52:35,840 --> 00:52:38,040 Speaker 1: the last couple of weeks. No, it did not. They 981 00:52:38,040 --> 00:52:40,680 Speaker 1: were ready to go way before that. The things they're 982 00:52:40,719 --> 00:52:43,799 Speaker 1: doing take time. And I'll just leave it at that, 983 00:52:43,840 --> 00:52:46,000 Speaker 1: because you know, I don't want it out there until 984 00:52:46,040 --> 00:52:48,239 Speaker 1: they want it out there. But the other thing is 985 00:52:48,239 --> 00:52:51,720 Speaker 1: this what happened in Wisconsin. You know, you're still looking 986 00:52:51,719 --> 00:52:55,279 Speaker 1: at that point of contact between a police officer and 987 00:52:55,320 --> 00:52:58,400 Speaker 1: an individual, and I don't know how that you know, 988 00:52:58,640 --> 00:53:01,239 Speaker 1: I know how that could get better. But you know, 989 00:53:01,440 --> 00:53:04,680 Speaker 1: to affect that change moving forward, Like I said last night, 990 00:53:05,120 --> 00:53:07,040 Speaker 1: you don't know if it gets better until you've had 991 00:53:07,040 --> 00:53:08,960 Speaker 1: some water go under the bridge and had some points 992 00:53:08,960 --> 00:53:10,920 Speaker 1: of contact where these you know, these things are going 993 00:53:10,960 --> 00:53:12,960 Speaker 1: to happen as far as like somebody who's gonna get 994 00:53:13,040 --> 00:53:16,080 Speaker 1: arrested or whatever, there's gonna be an altercation or not altercation, 995 00:53:16,120 --> 00:53:19,120 Speaker 1: but a confrontation and a point of contact, and those 996 00:53:19,239 --> 00:53:21,799 Speaker 1: have to get better. And I'm not sure you know, 997 00:53:21,960 --> 00:53:25,400 Speaker 1: I know that there have been bands on on chokes 998 00:53:25,440 --> 00:53:28,759 Speaker 1: and things like that around the country, But you know, 999 00:53:28,800 --> 00:53:30,479 Speaker 1: I don't know what else has to get better other 1000 00:53:30,520 --> 00:53:35,000 Speaker 1: than you know, it's it's widespread, it's full scale, it's 1001 00:53:35,160 --> 00:53:37,680 Speaker 1: national and um and again, I don't know how you 1002 00:53:37,760 --> 00:53:40,879 Speaker 1: see it until some time passes because it's a day 1003 00:53:40,880 --> 00:53:44,200 Speaker 1: to day thing. Yeah, I think you're exactly right. Yeah, No, 1004 00:53:44,320 --> 00:53:46,680 Speaker 1: I know exactly what you were saying, and I think 1005 00:53:46,719 --> 00:53:50,279 Speaker 1: you're you're right on all points. You know, progress has 1006 00:53:50,320 --> 00:53:53,520 Speaker 1: been made. Teams have been doing things, players have been 1007 00:53:53,560 --> 00:53:57,879 Speaker 1: doing things. Everyday, people have been doing things. The the 1008 00:53:58,080 --> 00:54:03,480 Speaker 1: attention the antennae around the country have been raised. Two events, 1009 00:54:03,760 --> 00:54:10,120 Speaker 1: the power of the the camera in your cell phone 1010 00:54:10,440 --> 00:54:15,040 Speaker 1: has become one of the most useful tools on the 1011 00:54:15,040 --> 00:54:17,759 Speaker 1: face of this earth. And I mean who would who 1012 00:54:17,800 --> 00:54:19,839 Speaker 1: would ever thought that, you know, And when they put 1013 00:54:19,840 --> 00:54:22,200 Speaker 1: a camera inside a phone, it's like, well, what am 1014 00:54:22,200 --> 00:54:25,040 Speaker 1: I gonna do with that? I'm just gonna take some selfies. Well, 1015 00:54:25,480 --> 00:54:28,240 Speaker 1: there have been people that are are changing the world 1016 00:54:28,320 --> 00:54:32,880 Speaker 1: by taking the video of what they've of what they've witnessed, 1017 00:54:33,000 --> 00:54:36,919 Speaker 1: and show the world, Hey, y'all, this ain't right. This 1018 00:54:37,000 --> 00:54:40,160 Speaker 1: isn't right, and they're raising awareness. And what I've always 1019 00:54:40,200 --> 00:54:45,360 Speaker 1: said Mark is you know, people are pretty smart generally, 1020 00:54:46,160 --> 00:54:48,760 Speaker 1: but sometimes they just don't see it. It doesn't happen 1021 00:54:48,800 --> 00:54:52,280 Speaker 1: in their world where they live. They don't this doesn't happen. 1022 00:54:52,480 --> 00:54:54,200 Speaker 1: But all of a sudden, the video pops up and 1023 00:54:54,239 --> 00:54:57,920 Speaker 1: they're like, whoa, they can see it. And when you 1024 00:54:58,000 --> 00:54:59,960 Speaker 1: see it, you're like, you know, it's like kind of 1025 00:55:00,000 --> 00:55:03,920 Speaker 1: we're talking about earlier on a very strange similarity between 1026 00:55:04,239 --> 00:55:07,680 Speaker 1: like learning a playbook. Sometimes you can look at a 1027 00:55:07,680 --> 00:55:09,799 Speaker 1: page on a paper and you're like, well, it's there, 1028 00:55:09,840 --> 00:55:12,280 Speaker 1: but you can't see it. And then all of a sudden, 1029 00:55:12,280 --> 00:55:14,040 Speaker 1: coach goes to a grease board and you know, he 1030 00:55:14,040 --> 00:55:16,320 Speaker 1: could show you it through discorder, through zoom or whatever, 1031 00:55:16,440 --> 00:55:18,360 Speaker 1: and he could show you it and you're like, oh, 1032 00:55:18,400 --> 00:55:21,879 Speaker 1: I see it. And I think for some people, they're 1033 00:55:21,880 --> 00:55:25,680 Speaker 1: now realizing this happens. It may not happen in my 1034 00:55:25,760 --> 00:55:29,000 Speaker 1: world or where I live, but man, it's certainly happening 1035 00:55:29,080 --> 00:55:33,920 Speaker 1: out there. And so now I can at least empathize 1036 00:55:33,960 --> 00:55:37,399 Speaker 1: with the people that have gone through those situations where 1037 00:55:37,400 --> 00:55:40,319 Speaker 1: I've been caught in those situations because now they can 1038 00:55:40,440 --> 00:55:43,480 Speaker 1: see it. And not to say that people didn't hear 1039 00:55:43,520 --> 00:55:47,279 Speaker 1: about it earlier and weren't dismayed, but I think it's 1040 00:55:47,280 --> 00:55:52,160 Speaker 1: really easy to discard some of that because it's not 1041 00:55:52,200 --> 00:55:53,640 Speaker 1: your world, and all of a sudden you see it 1042 00:55:53,680 --> 00:55:56,239 Speaker 1: and you're like, everything that we now could see through 1043 00:55:56,280 --> 00:55:58,839 Speaker 1: this phone is in our world. And I think that's 1044 00:55:58,880 --> 00:56:01,920 Speaker 1: become one of the most powerful tools that anybody can 1045 00:56:01,960 --> 00:56:06,080 Speaker 1: have any on any particular level. As soon as I 1046 00:56:06,160 --> 00:56:08,359 Speaker 1: never thought it would be that way, you know, as 1047 00:56:08,360 --> 00:56:11,400 Speaker 1: soon as the smartphones hit the hit the scene, I said, 1048 00:56:11,600 --> 00:56:14,920 Speaker 1: everybody now has a broadcast studio in their in their pocket. 1049 00:56:15,000 --> 00:56:16,719 Speaker 1: You know which is which is true? I mean that 1050 00:56:16,880 --> 00:56:19,680 Speaker 1: the thing is so much power.

That's just the old Bill O'Brien joke 1178 01:03:53,440 --> 01:03:56,400 Speaker 1: when he called them that, all right, So I think 1179 01:03:56,480 --> 01:03:59,280 Speaker 1: that I have to remind people from time to time, Johnny, 1180 01:03:59,280 --> 01:04:02,080 Speaker 1: because they forget that Bill O'Brien once called its snap 1181 01:04:02,160 --> 01:04:08,760 Speaker 1: face and spacebook, right, I think exactly what they are. 1182 01:04:09,160 --> 01:04:14,200 Speaker 1: Bill Belichick use it, but he knows, oh yeah, he knows, 1183 01:04:14,360 --> 01:04:17,080 Speaker 1: he knows. And Bill O'Brien knows two. But anyway, I 1184 01:04:17,120 --> 01:04:18,560 Speaker 1: don't think he spends too much time, but he knows 1185 01:04:18,600 --> 01:04:21,040 Speaker 1: what they are. All right, let's do now. We We've 1186 01:04:21,080 --> 01:04:23,920 Speaker 1: broken down a position group every day, and yesterday we 1187 01:04:24,000 --> 01:04:26,880 Speaker 1: did special teams.

Now, do you have any idea where 1196 01:04:53,160 --> 01:04:57,200 Speaker 1: I'm going with this one. I here's my nomination and 1197 01:04:57,520 --> 01:05:00,200 Speaker 1: you can second it or you can nominate another. Then 1198 01:05:00,200 --> 01:05:02,160 Speaker 1: we'll pick a winner. We'll send it to the churches. 1199 01:05:02,600 --> 01:05:07,520 Speaker 1: My nomination is Jordan Thomas. Jordan Thomas, who played in 1200 01:05:07,640 --> 01:05:10,240 Speaker 1: a handful of games last year, had one catch was 1201 01:05:10,360 --> 01:05:12,800 Speaker 1: on ir a butt to the year. That was after 1202 01:05:13,040 --> 01:05:17,000 Speaker 1: a very nice rookie year of twenty eighteen where he 1203 01:05:17,040 --> 01:05:21,720 Speaker 1: had four touchdown catches and really looked good. We were 1204 01:05:21,760 --> 01:05:24,160 Speaker 1: wondering what it was gonna be like this training camp. Well, 1205 01:05:24,240 --> 01:05:26,960 Speaker 1: it was really good. He made a lot of great catches, 1206 01:05:27,080 --> 01:05:29,600 Speaker 1: looked like he was back to where he was and 1207 01:05:30,160 --> 01:05:32,720 Speaker 1: had the natural progression on top of where he was 1208 01:05:33,200 --> 01:05:36,080 Speaker 1: ready to do battle in year three. He is my 1209 01:05:36,240 --> 01:05:41,200 Speaker 1: Comeback Player of the Year in Training Camp nominee. I'm 1210 01:05:41,240 --> 01:05:44,600 Speaker 1: absolutely right there with you because that when you said, 1211 01:05:44,640 --> 01:05:47,480 Speaker 1: I was like, Okay, it's JT. So I was waiting 1212 01:05:47,520 --> 01:05:49,480 Speaker 1: at that point to see who you would pick. So 1213 01:05:49,960 --> 01:05:52,400 Speaker 1: not that I want to just completely and totally piggyback 1214 01:05:52,400 --> 01:05:55,080 Speaker 1: off of every single one year picks, but I think 1215 01:05:55,120 --> 01:05:57,200 Speaker 1: you got the right guy for this training camp. He's 1216 01:05:57,240 --> 01:05:58,960 Speaker 1: been really, really good. He did what he needed to 1217 01:05:59,360 --> 01:06:02,280 Speaker 1: to come in to camp in shape, ready to go, 1218 01:06:03,000 --> 01:06:05,560 Speaker 1: and he did. The coaches asked him to slim down 1219 01:06:05,600 --> 01:06:07,840 Speaker 1: a little bit, the coaches asked him to, you know, 1220 01:06:07,920 --> 01:06:09,600 Speaker 1: improve on a number of things. Well he did. He 1221 01:06:09,680 --> 01:06:12,200 Speaker 1: did those things and then he got into practice and 1222 01:06:12,480 --> 01:06:16,720 Speaker 1: he's made catches every single day. I think you are 1223 01:06:16,960 --> 01:06:19,920 Speaker 1: dead on. I think as far as twenty twenty training 1224 01:06:19,960 --> 01:06:22,400 Speaker 1: camp comeback player, yeah, I think it's Jordan Thomas, who 1225 01:06:22,520 --> 01:06:26,200 Speaker 1: definitely came back to this camp to prove that he 1226 01:06:26,960 --> 01:06:29,240 Speaker 1: can be that guy that Darren Fells was last year 1227 01:06:29,360 --> 01:06:32,080 Speaker 1: and he and then some so yes, JT, I'm right 1228 01:06:32,120 --> 01:06:35,880 Speaker 1: there with you. What about the I'm Still Here Award? 1229 01:06:36,120 --> 01:06:38,600 Speaker 1: The I'm Still Here Award? Do you have a nomination 1230 01:06:38,680 --> 01:06:41,040 Speaker 1: that want to go? I will go first? It is 1231 01:06:41,120 --> 01:06:46,400 Speaker 1: DeAndre Carter. We have talked a lot this offseason about 1232 01:06:47,960 --> 01:06:52,320 Speaker 1: about DeAndre Carter, but we never mentioned him as a receiver. 1233 01:06:52,440 --> 01:06:54,520 Speaker 1: It's always been, well, you know, DeAndre Carter's the returner. 1234 01:06:54,560 --> 01:06:57,840 Speaker 1: We just kind of throw that on top. You know, 1235 01:06:57,960 --> 01:06:59,919 Speaker 1: when you go out to when you get to go food, 1236 01:07:00,560 --> 01:07:02,919 Speaker 1: you always get to silverware and NAPKT in a little 1237 01:07:02,920 --> 01:07:05,520 Speaker 1: plastic packet that you have to have it right, you 1238 01:07:05,640 --> 01:07:07,240 Speaker 1: have to have it, and it always just gets thrown 1239 01:07:07,240 --> 01:07:09,080 Speaker 1: it at the end, but it's not really well, you know, 1240 01:07:09,480 --> 01:07:11,880 Speaker 1: you need it, but it's not gonna obviously outweigh the 1241 01:07:11,920 --> 01:07:14,479 Speaker 1: importance of the food. But you know when you don't 1242 01:07:14,520 --> 01:07:16,800 Speaker 1: have it, well, DeAndre Carter, to me, has done that 1243 01:07:16,880 --> 01:07:19,000 Speaker 1: in the return game. But he's also done it in 1244 01:07:19,040 --> 01:07:22,240 Speaker 1: the receiving game. He has had I thought the last 1245 01:07:22,360 --> 01:07:25,160 Speaker 1: two three practices where you know, there were some receivers in. 1246 01:07:25,560 --> 01:07:27,160 Speaker 1: You know, Brandy Cooks would be in one day and 1247 01:07:27,200 --> 01:07:29,200 Speaker 1: then Will full would be in for little of another day. 1248 01:07:29,480 --> 01:07:32,880 Speaker 1: Reynold Cobb would would take a Veterans day every now 1249 01:07:32,880 --> 01:07:35,160 Speaker 1: and again, a maintenance days. I guess it's termed in 1250 01:07:35,360 --> 01:07:38,360 Speaker 1: the NFL now, But every single day fourteen was ready 1251 01:07:38,400 --> 01:07:40,840 Speaker 1: to go. And you put him outside where he doesn't 1252 01:07:40,880 --> 01:07:43,600 Speaker 1: really play, but you put him inside. You throw him, 1253 01:07:43,680 --> 01:07:45,560 Speaker 1: you know, a little flat routes, you throw him, you know, 1254 01:07:45,640 --> 01:07:48,600 Speaker 1: seam routes, you throw him the deep overs, and you 1255 01:07:48,720 --> 01:07:50,720 Speaker 1: do all those things, and he's making one play after 1256 01:07:50,800 --> 01:07:53,600 Speaker 1: the next, and it's like, look, I'm still here, guys, 1257 01:07:54,200 --> 01:07:56,680 Speaker 1: don't forget about me. And that's the thing. He's been 1258 01:07:56,720 --> 01:08:01,600 Speaker 1: available and reliable every single old day. I think DeAndre 1259 01:08:01,680 --> 01:08:04,520 Speaker 1: Carter fits that award very well. I think that's a 1260 01:08:04,640 --> 01:08:07,200 Speaker 1: great selection and he might end up winning it. My 1261 01:08:07,320 --> 01:08:11,800 Speaker 1: nomination was gonna be Kenny Stills because with the acquisitions 1262 01:08:11,840 --> 01:08:14,280 Speaker 1: the Texans made with Brandon Cooks and Randall Cobb, there 1263 01:08:14,280 --> 01:08:16,360 Speaker 1: were some around the country saying, well, maybe Kenny Stills 1264 01:08:16,360 --> 01:08:20,519 Speaker 1: will be traded because they've got Cobb, Cooks Fuller. But Stills, 1265 01:08:20,560 --> 01:08:23,360 Speaker 1: to me in this camp has proven to be a 1266 01:08:23,520 --> 01:08:26,240 Speaker 1: guy that you have to have. I mean, you have 1267 01:08:26,400 --> 01:08:29,640 Speaker 1: to have Kenny Stills on this football team. He is reliable, 1268 01:08:30,360 --> 01:08:33,120 Speaker 1: Watson and he have some chemistry. They made some big 1269 01:08:33,200 --> 01:08:36,000 Speaker 1: plays last year in short order without any training camp. 1270 01:08:36,320 --> 01:08:40,400 Speaker 1: So to me, he's valuable and he showed the world. 1271 01:08:40,479 --> 01:08:42,760 Speaker 1: Hey I'm still here. You know, you might have gotten 1272 01:08:42,800 --> 01:08:45,360 Speaker 1: these other high profile guys and they will be heard from, 1273 01:08:45,680 --> 01:08:49,600 Speaker 1: but so will I. But I like your DeAndre Carter synopsis. 1274 01:08:49,800 --> 01:08:52,559 Speaker 1: So let's just go with that. All right. I've got 1275 01:08:52,640 --> 01:08:57,639 Speaker 1: one here, the Don't Worry about Me Award, that Don't 1276 01:08:57,680 --> 01:08:59,880 Speaker 1: worry about Me Award, and stay with me on this one. 1277 01:09:00,680 --> 01:09:04,280 Speaker 1: I'm gonna give this one to Lonnie Johnson. Lonnie Johnson, 1278 01:09:04,400 --> 01:09:06,679 Speaker 1: year one to year two? What's he gonna do? What's 1279 01:09:06,720 --> 01:09:08,760 Speaker 1: he gonna be? Is he gonna be as safety? Is 1280 01:09:08,800 --> 01:09:11,519 Speaker 1: he gonna be a corner? Is he gonna make that? 1281 01:09:11,720 --> 01:09:14,439 Speaker 1: Year one year to jump? Again? We're only in training camp. 1282 01:09:14,479 --> 01:09:16,439 Speaker 1: This is all we have to evaluate here. No preseason games, 1283 01:09:16,479 --> 01:09:19,200 Speaker 1: do not think, no joint practices, just training camp practices. 1284 01:09:19,479 --> 01:09:21,720 Speaker 1: But love what I've seen out of Lonnie, Love what 1285 01:09:21,800 --> 01:09:25,280 Speaker 1: the coaches are saying about Lonnie, and you just get 1286 01:09:25,360 --> 01:09:27,439 Speaker 1: the feel of his attitude. Interviewing him the other day, 1287 01:09:27,479 --> 01:09:29,760 Speaker 1: I just get the sense that he's got this and 1288 01:09:29,960 --> 01:09:31,320 Speaker 1: we got to see it on the field. Of course, 1289 01:09:31,720 --> 01:09:35,080 Speaker 1: there's no question, but I think they don't worry about me. 1290 01:09:35,160 --> 01:09:38,160 Speaker 1: Award deserves to go to Lottie. I think you're I 1291 01:09:38,240 --> 01:09:41,680 Speaker 1: think you're dead on. I'm gonna make I'll make a 1292 01:09:41,800 --> 01:09:45,320 Speaker 1: bid with the guy who is moving that I think 1293 01:09:45,400 --> 01:09:47,280 Speaker 1: a lot of people were worried about. And again he 1294 01:09:47,360 --> 01:09:50,160 Speaker 1: goes back to your point, this is training camp. But 1295 01:09:50,760 --> 01:09:55,000 Speaker 1: over the years, when we have seen a disaster on 1296 01:09:55,120 --> 01:09:58,519 Speaker 1: the horizon, if you will, like we saw it in 1297 01:09:58,600 --> 01:10:04,160 Speaker 1: training camp, Like we saw in training camp that Brock 1298 01:10:04,360 --> 01:10:06,600 Speaker 1: was kind of struggling at times, like there'd be some 1299 01:10:06,720 --> 01:10:10,040 Speaker 1: throws and were like you we saw times in camp 1300 01:10:10,439 --> 01:10:14,040 Speaker 1: and a lot in the preseason. Raheem More the safety. 1301 01:10:14,280 --> 01:10:15,960 Speaker 1: I remember back in twenty fifteen when they went and 1302 01:10:16,040 --> 01:10:18,599 Speaker 1: got Raheem More. I was like, now he's not gonna 1303 01:10:18,600 --> 01:10:21,680 Speaker 1: tackle like that during games, like regular games, you know, 1304 01:10:22,000 --> 01:10:24,760 Speaker 1: preseason games. He's just he's working the KINKSID No, that 1305 01:10:24,960 --> 01:10:27,439 Speaker 1: was who he was. And so you know, you can 1306 01:10:27,600 --> 01:10:31,160 Speaker 1: see the disasters off in in the horizon if you will. 1307 01:10:31,600 --> 01:10:35,080 Speaker 1: So as far as new players, you'd think if there's 1308 01:10:35,080 --> 01:10:37,519 Speaker 1: a major crack in the armor, you would have probably 1309 01:10:37,560 --> 01:10:40,599 Speaker 1: seen it already, But you haven't seen it from Eric Murray. 1310 01:10:41,439 --> 01:10:44,320 Speaker 1: I haven't. I think Eric Murray has made plays the 1311 01:10:44,400 --> 01:10:47,000 Speaker 1: way he breaks on the football from a safety position 1312 01:10:47,720 --> 01:10:51,439 Speaker 1: like a shot. So if you, you know, look at 1313 01:10:51,439 --> 01:10:54,360 Speaker 1: a guy like, no, could Eric Murray be a bust shirt? 1314 01:10:55,439 --> 01:10:58,639 Speaker 1: You know, he's never started, as many people have pointed out, 1315 01:10:58,680 --> 01:11:01,559 Speaker 1: but you know, you gotta do somewhere, so he's got 1316 01:11:01,560 --> 01:11:04,720 Speaker 1: an opportunity, and thus far in camp, he's made me 1317 01:11:05,120 --> 01:11:08,839 Speaker 1: not really want to worry about that safety position opposite 1318 01:11:08,880 --> 01:11:11,200 Speaker 1: Justin Reid. I came into camp like, who's it gonna 1319 01:11:11,200 --> 01:11:14,800 Speaker 1: be even mentioned Lonnie Johnson? But I walk out of 1320 01:11:14,840 --> 01:11:17,439 Speaker 1: there going, you know what, I don't really think. I'm 1321 01:11:17,439 --> 01:11:19,880 Speaker 1: not really worried too much about that safety position. With 1322 01:11:20,080 --> 01:11:22,080 Speaker 1: Eric Murray back there, I think Eric gonna do a 1323 01:11:22,200 --> 01:11:24,760 Speaker 1: really fine job. So I would throw Eric Murray in 1324 01:11:24,880 --> 01:11:30,080 Speaker 1: the mix. I think that you're Lonnie Johnson's probably best. 1325 01:11:31,160 --> 01:11:33,559 Speaker 1: But I like my submission, but I think Lonnie's the guy. 1326 01:11:33,600 --> 01:11:35,000 Speaker 1: I think you're right because Lonnie was a guy that 1327 01:11:35,080 --> 01:11:39,200 Speaker 1: we need to have really make that leave. It's funny 1328 01:11:39,240 --> 01:11:40,760 Speaker 1: how the last two we had different guys, but they're 1329 01:11:40,800 --> 01:11:44,719 Speaker 1: in the same position group r the rags to Rich's Award. 1330 01:11:44,800 --> 01:11:47,439 Speaker 1: I hate calling it that, but a year ago we 1331 01:11:47,560 --> 01:11:49,840 Speaker 1: weren't sure about the offensive line and what was going 1332 01:11:49,920 --> 01:11:51,800 Speaker 1: to happen, and then what are they gonna do here? 1333 01:11:51,840 --> 01:11:54,160 Speaker 1: All right? These rookies have got to play well, right, 1334 01:11:54,360 --> 01:11:56,720 Speaker 1: and who's playing tackle? And what are we gonna do? 1335 01:11:56,960 --> 01:12:01,160 Speaker 1: And David Port did have some decent It's in twenty eighteen, right, 1336 01:12:01,240 --> 01:12:04,360 Speaker 1: I mean, we survived some games and we won eleven games, 1337 01:12:04,800 --> 01:12:08,040 Speaker 1: but they made the moves after Labor Day. The line 1338 01:12:08,120 --> 01:12:11,200 Speaker 1: came into shape a few weeks later. And that's starting 1339 01:12:11,280 --> 01:12:14,439 Speaker 1: five that when they were together they were highly productive. 1340 01:12:14,520 --> 01:12:16,800 Speaker 1: Last year, that starting five has been in camp doing 1341 01:12:16,880 --> 01:12:20,360 Speaker 1: their thing, and you have a feeling that they got this. 1342 01:12:21,240 --> 01:12:24,160 Speaker 1: They have depth. I mean, maybe not a ton. I mean, 1343 01:12:24,200 --> 01:12:26,320 Speaker 1: I'm not ready to call them the deepest old line 1344 01:12:26,360 --> 01:12:28,559 Speaker 1: in the league. But when you have Rod Johnson as 1345 01:12:28,600 --> 01:12:31,000 Speaker 1: your swing tackle and you drafted a Charlie Heck and 1346 01:12:31,080 --> 01:12:34,519 Speaker 1: you have some help on the interior and you guys 1347 01:12:34,600 --> 01:12:37,360 Speaker 1: can play multiple positions, you feel pretty good about what 1348 01:12:37,439 --> 01:12:39,920 Speaker 1: you have going in to twenty twenty. So to me, 1349 01:12:40,000 --> 01:12:43,920 Speaker 1: that's the Rags to Riches Award winner. The old line. Man, 1350 01:12:45,360 --> 01:12:47,200 Speaker 1: I don't know that I can disagree with that. I mean, 1351 01:12:47,240 --> 01:12:50,080 Speaker 1: I think Rags and Rich is dead on for what 1352 01:12:50,439 --> 01:12:56,240 Speaker 1: that group looked like. Yeah, I think that's I think 1353 01:12:56,280 --> 01:12:58,320 Speaker 1: you're right, Mark, I think that's the only one, really 1354 01:12:58,360 --> 01:13:00,400 Speaker 1: it could be. I think that is really an offensive 1355 01:13:00,439 --> 01:13:03,040 Speaker 1: lines specific award. I don't know that any of the 1356 01:13:03,120 --> 01:13:04,680 Speaker 1: group I would look at it and say it was 1357 01:13:04,760 --> 01:13:09,360 Speaker 1: sort of downtry. Now you might might might be able 1358 01:13:09,439 --> 01:13:14,400 Speaker 1: to say that the secondary, you could make some small 1359 01:13:14,479 --> 01:13:16,320 Speaker 1: argument for that. I don't know if what we've gotten 1360 01:13:16,360 --> 01:13:19,120 Speaker 1: to the richest category because the offensive line has got 1361 01:13:19,200 --> 01:13:22,280 Speaker 1: Titus Howard and Larry Tunsi, who in due time could 1362 01:13:22,280 --> 01:13:25,639 Speaker 1: be the best tackle tandem in due time in the NFL. 1363 01:13:26,240 --> 01:13:28,559 Speaker 1: That's the moving on Up award. That's the George Jefferson 1364 01:13:28,600 --> 01:13:32,519 Speaker 1: Award right there. The secondary, the secondary. Yeah, I mean yeah, 1365 01:13:32,560 --> 01:13:35,320 Speaker 1: I would just yes, you're you're right, they are moving 1366 01:13:35,360 --> 01:13:37,599 Speaker 1: on up and hopefully they get all the way up 1367 01:13:37,720 --> 01:13:44,720 Speaker 1: to the apartment in the sky. Wow, Jefferson's that Jefferson's 1368 01:13:44,920 --> 01:13:49,719 Speaker 1: might be the greatest TV theme song ever. I would 1369 01:13:49,800 --> 01:13:53,000 Speaker 1: put that in the top three all time. Oh yeah, yeah, 1370 01:13:53,240 --> 01:13:55,320 Speaker 1: I don't think there's any There's no question about that, 1371 01:13:55,880 --> 01:13:58,720 Speaker 1: because like I could sing that now and get into 1372 01:13:58,800 --> 01:14:00,800 Speaker 1: a good mood no matter what I was going through. 1373 01:14:00,880 --> 01:14:03,479 Speaker 1: I think, you know, I think, you know, if somebody's 1374 01:14:03,560 --> 01:14:06,400 Speaker 1: down at home, you know, let's say, guys, if you're listening, 1375 01:14:06,439 --> 01:14:08,560 Speaker 1: the missus is down at home, you throw on the 1376 01:14:08,640 --> 01:14:11,320 Speaker 1: Jefferson's theme song. All right, you might get a coffee 1377 01:14:11,360 --> 01:14:13,840 Speaker 1: cup thrown at you. All right, so never mind if 1378 01:14:14,680 --> 01:14:17,120 Speaker 1: if it's something really bad going on, So all right, 1379 01:14:17,160 --> 01:14:20,080 Speaker 1: I digress. Let's go to the next one. You got one, Oh, 1380 01:14:20,360 --> 01:14:22,960 Speaker 1: I got one more for you. Here put the put 1381 01:14:23,040 --> 01:14:25,800 Speaker 1: Me in Coach Award. The put Me in Coach Award 1382 01:14:25,880 --> 01:14:31,479 Speaker 1: goes to Brian Cushing. Brian Cushing on the practice field 1383 01:14:32,040 --> 01:14:36,519 Speaker 1: is impossible not to notice. In fact, my greatest regret 1384 01:14:36,600 --> 01:14:38,680 Speaker 1: in life is that we didn't have him miked up, 1385 01:14:38,880 --> 01:14:42,880 Speaker 1: because it is almost I mean, I smile, I laugh 1386 01:14:43,080 --> 01:14:45,840 Speaker 1: when I'm watching him coach. He is so into it. 1387 01:14:46,160 --> 01:14:49,160 Speaker 1: He's in the play. He plays quarterback when they do 1388 01:14:49,360 --> 01:14:52,720 Speaker 1: that defense against defense, but half the defense is uh 1389 01:14:53,080 --> 01:14:55,400 Speaker 1: simulating the offense. And you know, he does a lot 1390 01:14:55,439 --> 01:14:58,519 Speaker 1: of stuff, and he's the way he talks to the players, 1391 01:14:59,040 --> 01:15:03,600 Speaker 1: and he's just so passionate about football, about coaching. And 1392 01:15:03,680 --> 01:15:06,240 Speaker 1: we had Anthony Weaver on last hour and he said 1393 01:15:06,680 --> 01:15:11,599 Speaker 1: he's probably stronger than a lot of our players. He's 1394 01:15:11,640 --> 01:15:15,360 Speaker 1: so jacked up. I mean, Cushing is out there and again, 1395 01:15:15,439 --> 01:15:17,360 Speaker 1: impossible not to notice that he put me in coach 1396 01:15:17,400 --> 01:15:20,360 Speaker 1: award goes to Brian Cushing. Johnny, I might just hand 1397 01:15:20,360 --> 01:15:21,200 Speaker 1: it to him. I don't know if you have a 1398 01:15:21,280 --> 01:15:24,840 Speaker 1: better nomination. No, No, it's it's got it's gotta be. 1399 01:15:25,200 --> 01:15:27,720 Speaker 1: There's no question. It's got to be Cushed. He I mean, 1400 01:15:27,800 --> 01:15:30,519 Speaker 1: now he doesn't have to worry about all the football stuff, 1401 01:15:30,560 --> 01:15:32,240 Speaker 1: he doesn't have to go to all the meetings and everything. 1402 01:15:32,280 --> 01:15:35,560 Speaker 1: He's lived. He's living the weight room. I mean, what 1403 01:15:36,040 --> 01:15:40,920 Speaker 1: what better, what better role for him? I do think 1404 01:15:41,000 --> 01:15:42,880 Speaker 1: that I do think that Cush would end up being 1405 01:15:42,960 --> 01:15:47,320 Speaker 1: a really good linebackers coach if that's what he wanted 1406 01:15:47,400 --> 01:15:50,519 Speaker 1: to do down the road. But he seems on the 1407 01:15:50,600 --> 01:15:53,720 Speaker 1: surface to really be enjoying what he's doing in the 1408 01:15:53,800 --> 01:15:56,400 Speaker 1: weight room. Yeah, I don't. I don't think there's any 1409 01:15:56,479 --> 01:15:59,400 Speaker 1: questions about that. Okay, I've got a few. I'm gonna 1410 01:15:59,400 --> 01:16:06,799 Speaker 1: start with the the Radio dot Com Marconi Award the player, 1411 01:16:07,560 --> 01:16:14,000 Speaker 1: coach or individual who is best at the microphone. Okay, 1412 01:16:14,080 --> 01:16:19,320 Speaker 1: and I make my candidate Titus Howard. I think Titus 1413 01:16:19,520 --> 01:16:23,479 Speaker 1: is really really good. He is fourth, right, He's honest, 1414 01:16:23,920 --> 01:16:26,480 Speaker 1: he's got a little he's you know, he's from Alabama, 1415 01:16:26,560 --> 01:16:28,200 Speaker 1: so he's got a little good old boy in him, 1416 01:16:28,680 --> 01:16:32,680 Speaker 1: and he will tell you pretty much everything. I mean, 1417 01:16:32,720 --> 01:16:36,120 Speaker 1: if you ask him, he's gonna tell you everything about himself, 1418 01:16:36,640 --> 01:16:39,000 Speaker 1: about his other team members. I really listened to the 1419 01:16:39,040 --> 01:16:41,280 Speaker 1: interview that we played last night of Titus Howard and 1420 01:16:41,320 --> 01:16:44,640 Speaker 1: I was like, he is really really good. So my 1421 01:16:44,840 --> 01:16:50,639 Speaker 1: Radio dot Com Marconi Award goes to Titus Howard. Well, look, 1422 01:16:50,760 --> 01:16:53,719 Speaker 1: I think you could name the award after Brandon Donne maybe. 1423 01:16:54,800 --> 01:16:58,320 Speaker 1: I interviewed him early on in camp, and you know, 1424 01:16:58,520 --> 01:17:01,280 Speaker 1: DJ Dunney is how he's referred to because he's the 1425 01:17:01,479 --> 01:17:04,840 Speaker 1: locker room DJ. And I said, well, with multiple locker rooms, 1426 01:17:05,200 --> 01:17:08,519 Speaker 1: how are you handling this? Are there franchises, what are 1427 01:17:08,560 --> 01:17:11,680 Speaker 1: you doing? And he said, I'm getting disturbing reports from 1428 01:17:11,760 --> 01:17:14,960 Speaker 1: other locker rooms about the music selections, and it's a 1429 01:17:15,000 --> 01:17:18,160 Speaker 1: big concern. I mean, he was hilarious. You know, I 1430 01:17:18,360 --> 01:17:21,479 Speaker 1: love him, but I like your domination of Titus. I'm 1431 01:17:21,520 --> 01:17:23,600 Speaker 1: going to give you a future guy to look out for, 1432 01:17:23,920 --> 01:17:27,240 Speaker 1: and he's great already. Some rookies come in here and 1433 01:17:27,439 --> 01:17:30,080 Speaker 1: they don't have the you know, and look, God bless 1434 01:17:30,160 --> 01:17:31,560 Speaker 1: him because you have to be that way. I'm just 1435 01:17:31,600 --> 01:17:33,720 Speaker 1: trying to be a good teammate and get better every day. 1436 01:17:33,920 --> 01:17:35,519 Speaker 1: But you know, Justin Reid came in here and he 1437 01:17:35,640 --> 01:17:39,120 Speaker 1: was talking. You know, he's Justin Reid. Ross Blacklock is 1438 01:17:39,439 --> 01:17:42,120 Speaker 1: so happy to be a Houston Texan. He's from here, 1439 01:17:42,560 --> 01:17:44,599 Speaker 1: and he's so happy to be a Texan and he's 1440 01:17:44,640 --> 01:17:47,400 Speaker 1: working his butt off and he's fun to hear from. 1441 01:17:47,560 --> 01:17:50,559 Speaker 1: So he's another guy we hadn't speak to the media. 1442 01:17:50,640 --> 01:17:53,240 Speaker 1: What was yesterday, the day before, the day before, I believe, 1443 01:17:53,320 --> 01:17:55,240 Speaker 1: And it's still up on the app. So go take 1444 01:17:55,280 --> 01:17:58,800 Speaker 1: a look at it there, Johnny I opening Rookie I 1445 01:17:59,000 --> 01:18:02,920 Speaker 1: opening Rookie Award. Who do you got, Ross Blacklock? I mean, 1446 01:18:02,960 --> 01:18:05,599 Speaker 1: I love Grenard, you know I feel about Grenard having 1447 01:18:05,640 --> 01:18:07,600 Speaker 1: seen him up post the Senior Bowl, interviewed him at 1448 01:18:07,640 --> 01:18:08,840 Speaker 1: the Senior Bowl, watched a lot of him at the 1449 01:18:08,880 --> 01:18:11,800 Speaker 1: Senior Bowl, and I really like John Reid. I like 1450 01:18:11,880 --> 01:18:19,600 Speaker 1: the way he carries himself, very serious. He is really interesting. 1451 01:18:19,720 --> 01:18:21,880 Speaker 1: And I was talking to Jack Easter being he brought 1452 01:18:21,960 --> 01:18:23,960 Speaker 1: up a name the other day of a player that 1453 01:18:24,040 --> 01:18:27,280 Speaker 1: he reminded him of, and I went, wow, that is 1454 01:18:27,720 --> 01:18:31,479 Speaker 1: really a close comparison. I could absolutely see that down 1455 01:18:31,560 --> 01:18:33,840 Speaker 1: the road. But I don't want to put that out live, 1456 01:18:34,560 --> 01:18:36,080 Speaker 1: because you know, that was just Jack and I have 1457 01:18:36,160 --> 01:18:38,200 Speaker 1: a conversation. But it really struck me that's the kind 1458 01:18:38,240 --> 01:18:40,120 Speaker 1: of player could be. But to me, Blacklock. When I 1459 01:18:40,200 --> 01:18:43,640 Speaker 1: first saw Blacklock day one, I was down the sideline 1460 01:18:44,120 --> 01:18:46,200 Speaker 1: and I'm looking. I'm looking for everybody to see who's 1461 01:18:46,240 --> 01:18:48,200 Speaker 1: there and who's not. And I'm looking, I'm looking, I'm looking, 1462 01:18:48,800 --> 01:18:51,880 Speaker 1: and I'm like, I'm assuming he's wearing ninety. You know, 1463 01:18:51,920 --> 01:18:53,360 Speaker 1: that's what he wore in college. And then all of 1464 01:18:53,360 --> 01:18:56,439 Speaker 1: a sudden, I see ninety and I'm like, whoa. And 1465 01:18:56,600 --> 01:18:59,080 Speaker 1: then he comes over near the sideline where we are, 1466 01:18:59,240 --> 01:19:01,240 Speaker 1: and I'm just I feel bad. It was kind of 1467 01:19:01,360 --> 01:19:05,639 Speaker 1: ogling him and just going, oh my god, you're ross Blacklock. 1468 01:19:05,800 --> 01:19:09,400 Speaker 1: I mean, he's just built so differently from defensive linemen 1469 01:19:09,479 --> 01:19:11,519 Speaker 1: that we have had. And then you see the agility, 1470 01:19:11,560 --> 01:19:13,519 Speaker 1: you see the quickness, and in my mind as I 1471 01:19:13,560 --> 01:19:15,920 Speaker 1: see him, all these games I watch are flashing through 1472 01:19:16,040 --> 01:19:18,320 Speaker 1: like now I get it. Now, I see why he 1473 01:19:18,479 --> 01:19:20,519 Speaker 1: was just whipping guys in college. Now I see why 1474 01:19:20,560 --> 01:19:22,800 Speaker 1: he was just running past guys. It made all the 1475 01:19:22,880 --> 01:19:25,800 Speaker 1: sense in the world. Ross Blacklock and we talked to 1476 01:19:25,840 --> 01:19:27,720 Speaker 1: Weave and we've said it. He's like, these rookies are 1477 01:19:27,720 --> 01:19:30,080 Speaker 1: gonna make an impact on this season. Maybe not week one, 1478 01:19:30,680 --> 01:19:32,280 Speaker 1: but in some way, shape or form they're going to 1479 01:19:32,400 --> 01:19:34,799 Speaker 1: in this twenty twenty season. I could see Ross Blacklock 1480 01:19:34,920 --> 01:19:38,120 Speaker 1: making an impact, maybe even week one. That guy's gonna 1481 01:19:38,120 --> 01:19:39,519 Speaker 1: be a player in this league for a long time. 1482 01:19:40,479 --> 01:19:43,800 Speaker 1: All Right, what other awards do you have? Okay, I've 1483 01:19:43,880 --> 01:19:47,400 Speaker 1: got the mister nice Guy Award? Now the locker room 1484 01:19:47,479 --> 01:19:49,759 Speaker 1: has a lot of really nice guys. But something happened 1485 01:19:50,400 --> 01:19:54,800 Speaker 1: and a zoom interview that I have never seen that 1486 01:19:55,000 --> 01:19:58,880 Speaker 1: I could remember now. I think all the Texas players 1487 01:19:58,880 --> 01:20:02,400 Speaker 1: are very thankful. They're extremely nice when you talk to him, 1488 01:20:02,439 --> 01:20:04,559 Speaker 1: and they're grateful for the time that you give him 1489 01:20:04,560 --> 01:20:06,280 Speaker 1: on the radio and all that kind of stuff. But 1490 01:20:06,600 --> 01:20:11,600 Speaker 1: Eric Murray actually thanked the Houston media. Yeah, when he 1491 01:20:11,880 --> 01:20:15,960 Speaker 1: left his sit down interview with the Houston Media. Yeah, 1492 01:20:16,080 --> 01:20:18,400 Speaker 1: I almost fell out of my chair. I was like, 1493 01:20:18,600 --> 01:20:20,760 Speaker 1: he turned around, he started walking to the team, right 1494 01:20:20,800 --> 01:20:22,840 Speaker 1: back to Mike. He said thank you guys for the time, 1495 01:20:22,960 --> 01:20:25,439 Speaker 1: and then left, and I mean he left the room 1496 01:20:25,520 --> 01:20:27,439 Speaker 1: and Amy and Nathan and Omar were in there and 1497 01:20:27,479 --> 01:20:29,280 Speaker 1: they all kind of look each other like he just 1498 01:20:29,439 --> 01:20:33,559 Speaker 1: thank you everybody. Yeah, yeah he didn't. Well, I've got 1499 01:20:33,640 --> 01:20:36,880 Speaker 1: mister nice Guy award. I'll go to Eric Murray. I mean, 1500 01:20:37,040 --> 01:20:41,840 Speaker 1: all right, so the new guys Murray, David Johnson, Randall Cobb, Yeah, 1501 01:20:42,240 --> 01:20:45,160 Speaker 1: Brandon Cooks. These guys are all nice guys, right. I 1502 01:20:45,240 --> 01:20:47,800 Speaker 1: mean it almost worries me. No, it really should because 1503 01:20:47,840 --> 01:20:49,400 Speaker 1: they have a track record. Okay, they have a track 1504 01:20:49,439 --> 01:20:53,800 Speaker 1: record of success in this league. But it's it says 1505 01:20:53,840 --> 01:20:56,920 Speaker 1: something and I think I've meted it last night. These 1506 01:20:56,960 --> 01:20:59,400 Speaker 1: are the guys you want representing your city, your team. 1507 01:21:00,080 --> 01:21:01,800 Speaker 1: These are the guys you want out there. These are 1508 01:21:01,800 --> 01:21:03,840 Speaker 1: the Houston Texans now you want to win football games, 1509 01:21:03,880 --> 01:21:07,400 Speaker 1: Don't get me wrong. And ever since I've been here, 1510 01:21:07,600 --> 01:21:10,400 Speaker 1: since the franchise got started, they talked about character and 1511 01:21:10,479 --> 01:21:12,240 Speaker 1: they were all about it, and it's been true it's 1512 01:21:12,280 --> 01:21:17,320 Speaker 1: a McNair you have to have character. Bob McNair decreed 1513 01:21:17,439 --> 01:21:21,000 Speaker 1: it early on in the formation of this organization, and 1514 01:21:21,320 --> 01:21:26,240 Speaker 1: Cal and family Janis they stick to it. Over the years, 1515 01:21:26,360 --> 01:21:28,439 Speaker 1: things have shifted in the sense that all right, we 1516 01:21:28,520 --> 01:21:30,519 Speaker 1: want character, but we really got to make sure, like 1517 01:21:30,800 --> 01:21:34,600 Speaker 1: make sure whatever you know, in whatever means possible, that 1518 01:21:34,840 --> 01:21:37,920 Speaker 1: the passion for the game is there. And I think 1519 01:21:38,360 --> 01:21:40,439 Speaker 1: that they might have gotten to an all time high 1520 01:21:40,560 --> 01:21:43,920 Speaker 1: this year, but we'll see because the results are on 1521 01:21:44,040 --> 01:21:49,320 Speaker 1: the field anyway. The MVP, the oh the I'm the 1522 01:21:49,479 --> 01:21:51,800 Speaker 1: Man Award? Did I did we do this one yet? 1523 01:21:52,120 --> 01:21:54,720 Speaker 1: Because I haven't got I got one other one too. 1524 01:21:54,840 --> 01:21:58,400 Speaker 1: I got one on the one too. So beyond the 1525 01:21:58,520 --> 01:22:02,920 Speaker 1: Man Award to me Brandon Cooks, because Brandon Cooks comes 1526 01:22:02,960 --> 01:22:06,599 Speaker 1: out in one practice in particular and has that Andre 1527 01:22:06,800 --> 01:22:10,360 Speaker 1: Johnson DeAndre Hopkins type training camp practice. Look, I know 1528 01:22:10,479 --> 01:22:15,240 Speaker 1: that's overstating it. Maybe I say maybe because I've seen 1529 01:22:15,560 --> 01:22:18,519 Speaker 1: Hopkins and Andre Johnson over the years have that one 1530 01:22:18,640 --> 01:22:20,799 Speaker 1: camp practice where they have like four or five catches 1531 01:22:20,840 --> 01:22:24,400 Speaker 1: where whoa and then you say bubble wrap. We'll see 1532 01:22:24,560 --> 01:22:27,920 Speaker 1: the regular season opener, And that's what Cooks did and 1533 01:22:28,080 --> 01:22:31,080 Speaker 1: I felt like, oh wow, yeah, they got they got 1534 01:22:31,120 --> 01:22:33,320 Speaker 1: a real thoroughbred here, Brandon Cooks. I mean, this is 1535 01:22:33,360 --> 01:22:36,160 Speaker 1: gonna be fun to watch what he does for this offense. 1536 01:22:36,280 --> 01:22:39,080 Speaker 1: So bubble wrap him, get him ready for the opener. 1537 01:22:39,320 --> 01:22:41,320 Speaker 1: The Odd the Man Award, of course Watson's the man, 1538 01:22:41,400 --> 01:22:43,200 Speaker 1: but I'm trying to stay away. It's like, you know, 1539 01:22:43,400 --> 01:22:46,320 Speaker 1: Jordan's always the MVP. Who else can we give it 1540 01:22:46,360 --> 01:22:48,280 Speaker 1: to a kind of thing? That's how I feel about 1541 01:22:48,280 --> 01:22:50,519 Speaker 1: the Odd and the Man Award. Johnny, Okay, I've got 1542 01:22:50,600 --> 01:22:55,200 Speaker 1: the Energizer Bunny slash vander Kid Too Award. Okay, I 1543 01:22:55,240 --> 01:22:59,439 Speaker 1: don't know that I've ever met an individual with more 1544 01:23:01,200 --> 01:23:04,439 Speaker 1: or pep in his step then vander Kid Too. I 1545 01:23:04,600 --> 01:23:07,519 Speaker 1: love it. I absolutely love it. I mean, he if 1546 01:23:07,560 --> 01:23:10,800 Speaker 1: I'm feeling down, he is, He's live. He's just gonna 1547 01:23:10,840 --> 01:23:12,840 Speaker 1: pick me up. I just know he's going to that 1548 01:23:12,960 --> 01:23:15,759 Speaker 1: guy in the Houston Texans locker room is Keyon Crossing. 1549 01:23:16,560 --> 01:23:19,080 Speaker 1: I have never seen that guy. It'll be quiet at 1550 01:23:19,160 --> 01:23:23,080 Speaker 1: practice and then Keyon will just let loose with something. 1551 01:23:23,160 --> 01:23:24,479 Speaker 1: We were doing our Lives show. I don't know if 1552 01:23:24,479 --> 01:23:26,280 Speaker 1: you saw this. We did our live show the other day. 1553 01:23:26,560 --> 01:23:28,120 Speaker 1: It was the last live show I think we did. 1554 01:23:28,600 --> 01:23:31,200 Speaker 1: And Nicholas was set up by the defensive backs and 1555 01:23:31,240 --> 01:23:33,280 Speaker 1: he had the camera pointed at the defensive backs and 1556 01:23:33,400 --> 01:23:35,840 Speaker 1: he saw me with the mike, and so he and 1557 01:23:35,920 --> 01:23:39,560 Speaker 1: garyon Conley got near the camera, knowing the camera was 1558 01:23:39,680 --> 01:23:42,479 Speaker 1: on them, and started doing a faux interview with Conley 1559 01:23:42,560 --> 01:23:45,759 Speaker 1: interviewing Crossing, and it was one of the funniest things. 1560 01:23:46,200 --> 01:23:48,920 Speaker 1: I just laugh I was just like that, It's just perfect. 1561 01:23:49,080 --> 01:23:52,559 Speaker 1: That is Keyon Crossing. He gives everybody that be twelve shot. 1562 01:23:52,720 --> 01:23:56,320 Speaker 1: So the energizer Bunny slash vander Kid to award goes 1563 01:23:56,400 --> 01:24:00,360 Speaker 1: to Keion Crossing a kill.

NBA players three games yesterday that were 1688 01:31:23,240 --> 01:31:28,439 Speaker 1: not played because of the need, the desire to draw 1689 01:31:28,479 --> 01:31:31,439 Speaker 1: attention to what's going on in Wisconsin and other issues 1690 01:31:31,479 --> 01:31:36,559 Speaker 1: at large. NFL teams today several not practicing. Several are 1691 01:31:36,600 --> 01:31:39,559 Speaker 1: practicing as we speak right now, like the Philadelphia Eagles, 1692 01:31:39,600 --> 01:31:43,759 Speaker 1: Tampa Bay Buccaneers, among others. But the Bears, Johnny, the Cults, 1693 01:31:44,160 --> 01:31:47,840 Speaker 1: the Jets, and Washington. I believe that's the four I've 1694 01:31:47,880 --> 01:31:49,479 Speaker 1: got for sure. I don't know if there are others. 1695 01:31:49,880 --> 01:31:52,040 Speaker 1: The Texans were scheduled to have a zoom meeting at 1696 01:31:52,080 --> 01:31:54,240 Speaker 1: the very least this morning because there was some concern 1697 01:31:54,240 --> 01:31:56,840 Speaker 1: about whether the hurricane would hit here or not, as 1698 01:31:56,920 --> 01:31:59,719 Speaker 1: you all know, and scheduled to have a scrimmage tonight. 1699 01:32:00,160 --> 01:32:02,800 Speaker 1: We'll let you know. This is something we're following on 1700 01:32:02,880 --> 01:32:05,479 Speaker 1: the fly here and if anything breaks, we will let 1701 01:32:05,560 --> 01:32:10,479 Speaker 1: you know asap as far as that is concerned. And 1702 01:32:11,000 --> 01:32:15,000 Speaker 1: obviously this is a just huge story in sports. I mean, 1703 01:32:15,040 --> 01:32:17,040 Speaker 1: I've never seen anything like it. It was shortly after 1704 01:32:17,120 --> 01:32:20,040 Speaker 1: three o'clock when I tuned in and Ron and Wade 1705 01:32:20,080 --> 01:32:23,280 Speaker 1: Smith were doing the afternoon program, and they talked about 1706 01:32:23,360 --> 01:32:25,640 Speaker 1: the fact that the Milwaukee Bucks were not going to 1707 01:32:25,680 --> 01:32:29,759 Speaker 1: play Orlando Magic would not take the forfeit. They decided 1708 01:32:29,880 --> 01:32:32,800 Speaker 1: that they would also not play, so both teams boycotted 1709 01:32:32,840 --> 01:32:34,880 Speaker 1: the game, and then the other two games were also boycotted. 1710 01:32:35,000 --> 01:32:38,200 Speaker 1: Yesterday in the NBA bubble, players did not leave the bubble. 1711 01:32:38,280 --> 01:32:40,720 Speaker 1: They stayed in the bubble. So I'm hoping they can 1712 01:32:40,800 --> 01:32:43,400 Speaker 1: get back to work and play. They've drawn a lot 1713 01:32:43,439 --> 01:32:45,360 Speaker 1: of attention to this and a lot can be done, 1714 01:32:45,439 --> 01:32:47,680 Speaker 1: But by not playing by canceling the season, I'm not 1715 01:32:47,760 --> 01:32:50,479 Speaker 1: sure that that helps the cause as much as they 1716 01:32:50,520 --> 01:32:52,759 Speaker 1: would like it to. Johnny. This is a personal opinion 1717 01:32:52,880 --> 01:32:57,040 Speaker 1: by me because it is a business and it is entertainment, 1718 01:32:57,200 --> 01:32:59,880 Speaker 1: and so many lives depend on it, livelihoods I should 1719 01:33:00,439 --> 01:33:03,719 Speaker 1: depend on it, And I don't know if it's helping 1720 01:33:03,760 --> 01:33:06,280 Speaker 1: as much as they would like it to um if 1721 01:33:06,320 --> 01:33:10,800 Speaker 1: they should cancel the season because of the desire to 1722 01:33:10,880 --> 01:33:12,800 Speaker 1: draw attention to what is going on in Wisconsin and 1723 01:33:12,880 --> 01:33:17,040 Speaker 1: everywhere else in the country for that matter, about social justice. 1724 01:33:17,120 --> 01:33:20,439 Speaker 1: So we'll see what happens. Uh, you know, I know 1725 01:33:20,560 --> 01:33:23,080 Speaker 1: it's a it's a big story and we're following it now. 1726 01:33:23,160 --> 01:33:24,439 Speaker 1: There are a lot of thoughts on it, but that's 1727 01:33:24,439 --> 01:33:27,799 Speaker 1: all I have around the NFL, right yeah, the Jaguars 1728 01:33:27,880 --> 01:33:30,479 Speaker 1: right now are I'm follow a few of their media 1729 01:33:30,560 --> 01:33:33,160 Speaker 1: members and uh, you know, at the checking gate at 1730 01:33:33,240 --> 01:33:36,479 Speaker 1: practice there's nobody, So we don't know what the Jaguars 1731 01:33:36,520 --> 01:33:38,840 Speaker 1: are gonna do as far as that goes. But Mark, 1732 01:33:38,880 --> 01:33:43,600 Speaker 1: I'm with you. I I think the players, you know, 1733 01:33:43,640 --> 01:33:46,040 Speaker 1: as I sort of outlined last night, you know, the 1734 01:33:46,320 --> 01:33:52,639 Speaker 1: players have you know, a way to to get people's attention. 1735 01:33:53,360 --> 01:33:56,519 Speaker 1: And if the players just played playoff games and just 1736 01:33:56,680 --> 01:33:59,599 Speaker 1: kept playing them, you know, do they draw they draw 1737 01:33:59,640 --> 01:34:03,720 Speaker 1: a ten to that particular matter, maybe not, maybe not 1738 01:34:04,200 --> 01:34:06,960 Speaker 1: as much as they would like to, but by also 1739 01:34:07,200 --> 01:34:10,680 Speaker 1: continuing to play. When you watch an NBA game, if 1740 01:34:10,720 --> 01:34:13,680 Speaker 1: you sit down to watch, when you see a guy 1741 01:34:13,760 --> 01:34:15,560 Speaker 1: go to the basket and you're not sure who that 1742 01:34:15,640 --> 01:34:18,280 Speaker 1: guy is, and they show that guy's particular jersey and 1743 01:34:18,360 --> 01:34:20,880 Speaker 1: it says say her name or say his name, and 1744 01:34:21,000 --> 01:34:23,479 Speaker 1: then his actual name is down below the number. It's 1745 01:34:23,840 --> 01:34:28,439 Speaker 1: it's really it's keeping the message, as Kenny says, the 1746 01:34:28,600 --> 01:34:33,160 Speaker 1: movement's message out there. And I think by if they 1747 01:34:33,200 --> 01:34:37,240 Speaker 1: were to eliminate the season. Look, I understand, at least 1748 01:34:37,240 --> 01:34:39,640 Speaker 1: I've tried to be understanding of just take take this 1749 01:34:39,840 --> 01:34:42,120 Speaker 1: aspect of it out. Just living in a bubble's got 1750 01:34:42,200 --> 01:34:44,880 Speaker 1: to be really difficult. I mean, they've been in Orlando 1751 01:34:45,000 --> 01:34:47,880 Speaker 1: now for two and a half months. No, I don't 1752 01:34:47,880 --> 01:34:49,439 Speaker 1: know two two months. Maybe I don't know how long 1753 01:34:49,439 --> 01:34:51,640 Speaker 1: they've put on there. But you know, they don't have 1754 01:34:51,720 --> 01:34:56,240 Speaker 1: family members in there. It's just them, I'm sure. And 1755 01:34:56,479 --> 01:34:59,800 Speaker 1: when you think about all you're doing each day is 1756 01:35:00,160 --> 01:35:04,120 Speaker 1: hotel room basketball, hotel room basketball tournament, there's a certain 1757 01:35:04,240 --> 01:35:08,680 Speaker 1: level of mental health that is eroded. And then on 1758 01:35:08,920 --> 01:35:13,840 Speaker 1: top of that, you see another incident and your your 1759 01:35:13,920 --> 01:35:17,040 Speaker 1: blood boils over and it's like, you know what, maybe 1760 01:35:17,160 --> 01:35:20,640 Speaker 1: at that point, not playing that night allows everybody to 1761 01:35:20,760 --> 01:35:24,479 Speaker 1: step back and not worry about the basketball part of 1762 01:35:24,560 --> 01:35:26,840 Speaker 1: it and just talk. And it sounds like that's what 1763 01:35:26,920 --> 01:35:28,720 Speaker 1: they did last night at the meeting. I don't know 1764 01:35:28,800 --> 01:35:31,439 Speaker 1: if the nerves were still a little fraid, they were 1765 01:35:31,439 --> 01:35:33,880 Speaker 1: a little on edge. Everybody was the Lakers and Clippers 1766 01:35:33,920 --> 01:35:36,120 Speaker 1: apparently we're ready to walk out. Other teams were like, 1767 01:35:36,840 --> 01:35:40,960 Speaker 1: but you know, by if they just drop the season, 1768 01:35:41,080 --> 01:35:46,840 Speaker 1: like it's just seasons dropped. Then does the message continue 1769 01:35:47,240 --> 01:35:50,519 Speaker 1: to be put forth for people to constantly see it? 1770 01:35:50,840 --> 01:35:53,560 Speaker 1: And it doesn't the same way. You bring up a 1771 01:35:53,640 --> 01:35:56,920 Speaker 1: great point the messages on the jerseys, what they can 1772 01:35:57,000 --> 01:35:59,000 Speaker 1: say in a press conference. You know, they kick off 1773 01:35:59,040 --> 01:36:01,400 Speaker 1: the press conference very often with some of the players 1774 01:36:01,439 --> 01:36:04,520 Speaker 1: do with a message and then they talk about basketball. 1775 01:36:04,640 --> 01:36:07,880 Speaker 1: And that's happening in other sports too. Monnie did that 1776 01:36:07,920 --> 01:36:11,080 Speaker 1: the other day before he started his interview and then 1777 01:36:11,120 --> 01:36:13,280 Speaker 1: he talked football. So I think you know you're you're 1778 01:36:13,320 --> 01:36:15,880 Speaker 1: seeing some of that. You'll lose those eyeballs if you're 1779 01:36:15,920 --> 01:36:17,800 Speaker 1: the NBA and you walk off, you walk out of 1780 01:36:17,800 --> 01:36:20,599 Speaker 1: the bubble and the season's over. Here's another question, when 1781 01:36:20,640 --> 01:36:23,400 Speaker 1: are you playing again? When does the next season start? 1782 01:36:23,640 --> 01:36:25,880 Speaker 1: I don't know. No one can really answer that question. 1783 01:36:26,120 --> 01:36:28,280 Speaker 1: I mean, I'm hoping the virus fizzles out or at 1784 01:36:28,320 --> 01:36:30,400 Speaker 1: the very least gets under control where we can do this. 1785 01:36:31,080 --> 01:36:32,720 Speaker 1: Are they going to go back into a bubble? And 1786 01:36:32,880 --> 01:36:35,519 Speaker 1: I know you're right, Being in a buddy it gets old, 1787 01:36:35,560 --> 01:36:37,560 Speaker 1: even if you're in a beautiful hotel and everything, and 1788 01:36:37,720 --> 01:36:39,000 Speaker 1: you know you're with a lot of your buddies, but 1789 01:36:39,080 --> 01:36:40,920 Speaker 1: you still have to distance with them. You know, it's 1790 01:36:40,920 --> 01:36:42,120 Speaker 1: not like you going to go to the bar and 1791 01:36:42,200 --> 01:36:45,200 Speaker 1: really yuck it up. I mean, you can have some socializing, 1792 01:36:45,520 --> 01:36:49,040 Speaker 1: but it's a little tough. But look, I mean, I 1793 01:36:49,080 --> 01:36:52,000 Speaker 1: don't think anybody's gonna get sympathy or give sympathy for 1794 01:36:52,160 --> 01:36:53,960 Speaker 1: that part of it, for that part of it being 1795 01:36:54,000 --> 01:36:56,640 Speaker 1: in the bubble, because it is a nice situation to 1796 01:36:56,680 --> 01:36:58,519 Speaker 1: be able to earn that kind of cash and that 1797 01:36:58,640 --> 01:37:00,760 Speaker 1: kind of stay. It's not forever, a couple of months. 1798 01:37:01,000 --> 01:37:03,519 Speaker 1: You can get through it. I mean, Nelson Mandela spent 1799 01:37:03,600 --> 01:37:07,040 Speaker 1: twenty seven years in prison, you know. Um. I always 1800 01:37:07,080 --> 01:37:09,400 Speaker 1: remind myself of that when I'm sitting in a long meeting. 1801 01:37:09,560 --> 01:37:12,160 Speaker 1: I'm like, if Nelson Mandela can spend twenty seven years 1802 01:37:12,200 --> 01:37:14,120 Speaker 1: in prison, I can make it through this meeting. You know, 1803 01:37:14,560 --> 01:37:17,719 Speaker 1: I can make it through this this seminar. I'm kidding 1804 01:37:17,720 --> 01:37:22,280 Speaker 1: around here. I mean, but you yeah, it's reality. It's 1805 01:37:22,280 --> 01:37:24,559 Speaker 1: a dos reality. And as you were saying, I was like, yeah, 1806 01:37:24,560 --> 01:37:26,479 Speaker 1: I mean, look, you know, these guys aren't staying in 1807 01:37:26,640 --> 01:37:30,040 Speaker 1: uh you know, the Roach Moteller whatever, you know. You know, 1808 01:37:30,160 --> 01:37:32,479 Speaker 1: And I understand that, but it does affect with your mind. 1809 01:37:32,600 --> 01:37:36,120 Speaker 1: I understand that. It's it It does mess with you 1810 01:37:36,200 --> 01:37:38,200 Speaker 1: a little bit, um, but at least you know they're 1811 01:37:38,200 --> 01:37:40,920 Speaker 1: focused like they play every other day, which for me 1812 01:37:41,000 --> 01:37:44,799 Speaker 1: as a sports fan, I freaking love this this first round. 1813 01:37:45,280 --> 01:37:47,920 Speaker 1: It's every other day. It's kind of like the NHL 1814 01:37:48,120 --> 01:37:50,240 Speaker 1: was doing right where you just get it every other 1815 01:37:50,360 --> 01:37:53,080 Speaker 1: day and that's this is great. And then obviously there's 1816 01:37:53,080 --> 01:37:55,439 Speaker 1: some kind of practice for them in the off day, 1817 01:37:55,560 --> 01:37:58,080 Speaker 1: and I know it's fully focused, and yeah you miss things, 1818 01:37:58,200 --> 01:38:00,760 Speaker 1: but um, you know they're living that life. But the 1819 01:38:00,880 --> 01:38:03,280 Speaker 1: larger issue here is you're right, there was another incident, 1820 01:38:03,680 --> 01:38:08,120 Speaker 1: and especially the team from Wisconsin felt compelled to do 1821 01:38:08,280 --> 01:38:10,400 Speaker 1: something and they did. And it's you know, like I 1822 01:38:10,439 --> 01:38:12,800 Speaker 1: always say about this stuff, people can get mad on 1823 01:38:12,920 --> 01:38:15,479 Speaker 1: both sides about things, but this is within their rights. 1824 01:38:15,520 --> 01:38:16,840 Speaker 1: I mean, you have the right to do it. This 1825 01:38:17,040 --> 01:38:21,240 Speaker 1: is America. They made their point, and you know, whatever 1826 01:38:21,360 --> 01:38:23,720 Speaker 1: happens happens. You know, hopefully we can get to a 1827 01:38:23,880 --> 01:38:26,840 Speaker 1: much better place as a society and as a civilization. 1828 01:38:26,960 --> 01:38:29,519 Speaker 1: But you know, this is where we are right now. 1829 01:38:29,640 --> 01:38:31,080 Speaker 1: We gotta live with it. We got to try to 1830 01:38:31,120 --> 01:38:32,640 Speaker 1: get through it. We gotta try to get better in 1831 01:38:32,720 --> 01:38:35,720 Speaker 1: whatever way we possibly can. It's sports, it is entertainment, 1832 01:38:35,960 --> 01:38:37,519 Speaker 1: but they do have a lot of eyeballs on them. 1833 01:38:37,520 --> 01:38:39,320 Speaker 1: And I think your point was great, you'll lose the 1834 01:38:39,439 --> 01:38:41,880 Speaker 1: eyeballs if you'll lose the season, all you have is 1835 01:38:41,960 --> 01:38:45,040 Speaker 1: your social media platforms, which is which is great. That's 1836 01:38:45,040 --> 01:38:47,679 Speaker 1: a lot of eyeballs too. But there's just something about 1837 01:38:47,760 --> 01:38:50,920 Speaker 1: playing the games and spreading the message that way as 1838 01:38:50,960 --> 01:38:54,200 Speaker 1: opposed to not being in season at all. Yeah, and 1839 01:38:54,439 --> 01:38:58,439 Speaker 1: Wisconsin NFL football team is also made a decision like 1840 01:38:58,880 --> 01:39:03,479 Speaker 1: it's NBA team, State's NBA team. The Green Bay Packers 1841 01:39:03,560 --> 01:39:07,599 Speaker 1: practice today has not been postponed, so um, they're also 1842 01:39:07,840 --> 01:39:10,920 Speaker 1: stepping up. And you know, I I love the first 1843 01:39:11,240 --> 01:39:13,439 Speaker 1: you know, ten years of my life in the in 1844 01:39:13,520 --> 01:39:16,680 Speaker 1: the state of Wisconsin. And you know where where I 1845 01:39:16,840 --> 01:39:19,800 Speaker 1: was from. You know, it was not a it was 1846 01:39:19,960 --> 01:39:23,280 Speaker 1: not it was not an urban area to say the 1847 01:39:23,439 --> 01:39:27,200 Speaker 1: least at all. And um it was, you know, but 1848 01:39:27,280 --> 01:39:28,960 Speaker 1: it was an area that loved the Packers, the Bucks, 1849 01:39:29,000 --> 01:39:30,519 Speaker 1: and the Brewers. And I know as a kid, I 1850 01:39:30,640 --> 01:39:34,320 Speaker 1: hung on every single every single thing those athletes in 1851 01:39:34,400 --> 01:39:36,880 Speaker 1: the state did. I can imagine what the young people 1852 01:39:36,920 --> 01:39:39,920 Speaker 1: in the state of Wisconsin are thinking now, like hey, mom, dad, 1853 01:39:40,320 --> 01:39:43,360 Speaker 1: why are the Bucks not playing tonight? Why did the 1854 01:39:43,439 --> 01:39:46,599 Speaker 1: Packers postpone practice? You know those are you know, those 1855 01:39:46,600 --> 01:39:49,120 Speaker 1: are our lessons that you know, the kids are being 1856 01:39:49,240 --> 01:39:51,720 Speaker 1: taught early and saying, hey, look this is a you know, 1857 01:39:51,800 --> 01:39:55,200 Speaker 1: this is a different thing. This is an unusual, uh situation, 1858 01:39:55,479 --> 01:39:58,920 Speaker 1: I guess in our lives. But hey, here's why, here's 1859 01:39:58,920 --> 01:40:01,360 Speaker 1: what's going on. And young people. I mean I know 1860 01:40:01,760 --> 01:40:04,439 Speaker 1: if I were seven, eight, nine, ten years old and 1861 01:40:04,960 --> 01:40:07,240 Speaker 1: you know my team stopped, you know, hey, why why 1862 01:40:07,320 --> 01:40:10,000 Speaker 1: is Robin Yacht not playing tonight? Mom? What's what's going on? 1863 01:40:10,200 --> 01:40:12,719 Speaker 1: And my parents had an opportunity to teach me a lesson, 1864 01:40:12,800 --> 01:40:15,320 Speaker 1: but that'd be a valuable lesson. So, um, you know, 1865 01:40:15,360 --> 01:40:18,080 Speaker 1: the state of Wisconsin obviously near and dear to buy hard. 1866 01:40:18,120 --> 01:40:20,240 Speaker 1: My parents still live up there, and um, I just 1867 01:40:20,560 --> 01:40:23,280 Speaker 1: hated to see that happen anywhere, but in particular you 1868 01:40:23,320 --> 01:40:27,280 Speaker 1: know that state. Um, but man, it's mark these last 1869 01:40:27,320 --> 01:40:29,800 Speaker 1: forty eight not go back a little bit. This happened 1870 01:40:29,800 --> 01:40:32,200 Speaker 1: I think Monday. Man, the last seventy two hours. My 1871 01:40:32,560 --> 01:40:35,800 Speaker 1: my goodness. Um, it's just been it's been incredible. And 1872 01:40:35,960 --> 01:40:37,519 Speaker 1: I go back to you know, if people want to, 1873 01:40:37,560 --> 01:40:40,519 Speaker 1: you know, kind of a Texans reference. When Kenny Stills 1874 01:40:40,560 --> 01:40:43,479 Speaker 1: got to the mic on Monday, I believe it was. 1875 01:40:44,600 --> 01:40:46,880 Speaker 1: I don't know that I've ever been more proud of 1876 01:40:46,920 --> 01:40:49,840 Speaker 1: a Texan going to the mic to to discuss such 1877 01:40:49,960 --> 01:40:56,479 Speaker 1: a um polarizing topic. I just, I mean, he was 1878 01:40:56,760 --> 01:41:03,120 Speaker 1: so thoughtful and el an emotional about talking about this 1879 01:41:03,320 --> 01:41:05,720 Speaker 1: incident and many others and what he wants to do, 1880 01:41:05,880 --> 01:41:09,479 Speaker 1: what he has been doing. I just, I mean, I've 1881 01:41:10,080 --> 01:41:12,600 Speaker 1: you mentioned earlier Kenny Stills, the football player and his 1882 01:41:12,680 --> 01:41:16,519 Speaker 1: team has been incredibly valuable. Kenny Stills, the football player 1883 01:41:16,880 --> 01:41:21,559 Speaker 1: and the advocate for social justice, injustice changed throughout this world. 1884 01:41:22,160 --> 01:41:26,560 Speaker 1: That person has been incredibly valuable to this organization. And 1885 01:41:26,640 --> 01:41:29,519 Speaker 1: we'll be going forward all right.

During the morning drive, you were 1993 01:47:50,120 --> 01:47:54,840 Speaker 1: talking about what's more important Wi Fi or electricity. So 1994 01:47:54,920 --> 01:47:57,839 Speaker 1: I'm gonna ask you guys, you have to do without 1995 01:47:58,040 --> 01:48:00,680 Speaker 1: one of these things for the twenty any season. And 1996 01:48:00,720 --> 01:48:03,719 Speaker 1: I want you to look at this through Bill O'Brien's eyes. Okay, 1997 01:48:03,840 --> 01:48:10,360 Speaker 1: Wi Fi, electricity or water at the stadium? What are 1998 01:48:10,400 --> 01:48:14,840 Speaker 1: you doing? Wait a minute, So, like, is this for everybody, 1999 01:48:15,000 --> 01:48:17,320 Speaker 1: for the entire or the entire team. You need you 2000 01:48:17,400 --> 01:48:19,400 Speaker 1: need to put the team in the best position to win. 2001 01:48:20,439 --> 01:48:25,880 Speaker 1: Running water, WiFi and electricity. You know it's interesting because 2002 01:48:26,200 --> 01:48:29,880 Speaker 1: running water. Now, since you said running water, so you 2003 01:48:29,920 --> 01:48:33,360 Speaker 1: could still have bottled water and then you could shower 2004 01:48:33,520 --> 01:48:36,400 Speaker 1: at home. Oh, Marsha can get you on a technicality 2005 01:48:36,520 --> 01:48:42,439 Speaker 1: Landry what technicality. Obviously you pick water. You gotta have 2006 01:48:42,600 --> 01:48:44,760 Speaker 1: water because all you gotta do is play day games 2007 01:48:44,760 --> 01:48:46,920 Speaker 1: and open up the roof and there's your light, and 2008 01:48:47,040 --> 01:48:49,439 Speaker 1: who needs Wi Fi at that particular point. You'll suck 2009 01:48:49,479 --> 01:48:51,120 Speaker 1: it up and write your stories at home. But you 2010 01:48:51,200 --> 01:48:54,320 Speaker 1: gotta have running water. Well wait, no, no, for for us, 2011 01:48:54,479 --> 01:48:57,040 Speaker 1: it's different than for the entire organization. I'd say Wi 2012 01:48:57,080 --> 01:49:01,160 Speaker 1: Fi because you could still hook up via EA their net. 2013 01:49:01,360 --> 01:49:04,400 Speaker 1: So boom, I got you there. You just plug in baby. 2014 01:49:05,920 --> 01:49:08,000 Speaker 1: Well yeah, so that's you. You need water, then you 2015 01:49:08,040 --> 01:49:11,000 Speaker 1: don't need you Wi Fi. Yeah, you don't need Wi Fi. 2016 01:49:11,120 --> 01:49:13,000 Speaker 1: I would I would wipe out Wi Fi and Johnny 2017 01:49:13,240 --> 01:49:16,080 Speaker 1: open the roof. Let me introduce you to Pittsburgh two 2018 01:49:17,320 --> 01:49:19,599 Speaker 1: Uh yeah, I think it does. Uh so two thousand 2019 01:49:19,640 --> 01:49:22,280 Speaker 1: and five, when Pittsburgh came in here, it was a 2020 01:49:22,760 --> 01:49:26,680 Speaker 1: nightmare with the roof open. People were frying. They were 2021 01:49:26,720 --> 01:49:30,759 Speaker 1: like passing out the concourse because it's not just a heat. 2022 01:49:31,160 --> 01:49:33,920 Speaker 1: It's you know, it could be eighty degrees, but if 2023 01:49:33,960 --> 01:49:36,600 Speaker 1: the sun is coming into that open roof there, the 2024 01:49:36,800 --> 01:49:40,880 Speaker 1: air does not circulate well with the roof open. Mark. 2025 01:49:40,960 --> 01:49:44,000 Speaker 1: We just get that question every Sunday, the roof gonna 2026 01:49:44,040 --> 01:49:46,160 Speaker 1: be open to day. And it's like, come on, man, 2027 01:49:46,200 --> 01:49:48,120 Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm gonna start a Twitter account. Is the 2028 01:49:48,240 --> 01:49:51,320 Speaker 1: roof gonna be open today? No, there is there is 2029 01:49:51,320 --> 01:49:55,200 Speaker 1: an account. Oh yeah, oh oh well there there you go. 2030 01:49:55,360 --> 01:49:56,920 Speaker 1: I mean, I think there's an account for that. There 2031 01:49:57,000 --> 01:49:59,760 Speaker 1: used to be an account called Reliance Stadium Grass, you 2032 01:49:59,840 --> 01:50:06,280 Speaker 1: know whatever. That's the hardest question I think you've asked. Yeah, 2033 01:50:06,320 --> 01:50:08,519 Speaker 1: and I enjoyed listening to y'all discuss it this one. 2034 01:50:08,560 --> 01:50:11,759 Speaker 1: I'm I'm I'm somewhat being trite, but I'm somewhat being serious. 2035 01:50:11,800 --> 01:50:14,160 Speaker 1: This is an in the loop discussion that we had yesterday, 2036 01:50:14,280 --> 01:50:16,560 Speaker 1: myself and the OG. And I know that's always a 2037 01:50:16,640 --> 01:50:20,680 Speaker 1: dangerous preface when I say this. The PA guy at 2038 01:50:20,760 --> 01:50:23,240 Speaker 1: the game, when he introduces players, he just says first 2039 01:50:23,360 --> 01:50:25,600 Speaker 1: names and he relies on the crowd to say the 2040 01:50:25,680 --> 01:50:28,240 Speaker 1: last name. He's not gonna do that this year, right, 2041 01:50:28,360 --> 01:50:30,439 Speaker 1: since there's no or at least not early on where 2042 01:50:30,439 --> 01:50:35,240 Speaker 1: there's gonna be no fans. Well, I mean, I can't follow, 2043 01:50:35,520 --> 01:50:37,160 Speaker 1: you know. He's like there me and I'm down there 2044 01:50:37,240 --> 01:50:39,800 Speaker 1: going ton soult like I'm you know, I can't be 2045 01:50:39,880 --> 01:50:41,920 Speaker 1: the only one doing it, So you're the only one. 2046 01:50:42,000 --> 01:50:46,639 Speaker 1: You're the only one we're gonna give your own microphone. Dude, 2047 01:50:48,040 --> 01:50:51,559 Speaker 1: I'm not sure. How are they gonna be introduced? I mean, 2048 01:50:51,880 --> 01:50:53,920 Speaker 1: what are they gonna do? Yeah, I think they will 2049 01:50:54,000 --> 01:50:56,439 Speaker 1: be introduced. Well, who sees it? Like, we can do it, 2050 01:50:56,680 --> 01:50:59,840 Speaker 1: we can put that out on social media. But if 2051 01:50:59,880 --> 01:51:03,080 Speaker 1: I'm not mistaken, I think we have to wait until 2052 01:51:03,960 --> 01:51:05,880 Speaker 1: like we can't do it live. And I'm thinking, well, 2053 01:51:05,920 --> 01:51:07,439 Speaker 1: wait a minute, why can't we do it live? But 2054 01:51:07,560 --> 01:51:09,960 Speaker 1: they don't want to do it live because if we're 2055 01:51:10,000 --> 01:51:12,519 Speaker 1: doing that live on digital, people might not be watching 2056 01:51:12,600 --> 01:51:16,120 Speaker 1: the CBOs pregame show, you know from New York or whatever. 2057 01:51:16,560 --> 01:51:19,479 Speaker 1: So I think that's a factor. Now on Sunday Night Football, 2058 01:51:20,000 --> 01:51:22,120 Speaker 1: you know NBC shows You're coming out of the tunnel. 2059 01:51:22,120 --> 01:51:23,880 Speaker 1: I mean that's a big deal. They time that. You know, 2060 01:51:23,920 --> 01:51:27,160 Speaker 1: you got Carrie Underwood and then smoke and fire will 2061 01:51:27,200 --> 01:51:29,720 Speaker 1: no fire anymore but smoke and the team comes out 2062 01:51:29,960 --> 01:51:32,160 Speaker 1: and it's all timed up pretty well. So I think 2063 01:51:32,200 --> 01:51:34,559 Speaker 1: they'll do something Landry, I don't know what, all right, When, 2064 01:51:34,760 --> 01:51:38,240 Speaker 1: when and if the Texans do scrimmage. This is a 2065 01:51:38,439 --> 01:51:41,519 Speaker 1: this is the ultimate generic question. But I'm legit, I'm 2066 01:51:41,640 --> 01:51:45,120 Speaker 1: legit interested in it. Who has the most to proof, 2067 01:51:45,360 --> 01:51:48,760 Speaker 1: Who has the most to gain from the Texans first 2068 01:51:48,760 --> 01:51:51,960 Speaker 1: scrimmage two weeks away or maybe even less than two 2069 01:51:51,960 --> 01:51:54,200 Speaker 1: weeks away from the start of the season when it 2070 01:51:54,280 --> 01:51:59,160 Speaker 1: does happen, assuming he gets on there a player or 2071 01:51:59,240 --> 01:52:04,599 Speaker 1: position group were what what like players, group, coach any 2072 01:52:04,680 --> 01:52:07,679 Speaker 1: of that. I think a guy who could really advance 2073 01:52:07,800 --> 01:52:12,080 Speaker 1: his cause very well would be say a Kiki qt um. 2074 01:52:12,360 --> 01:52:15,240 Speaker 1: You know, I'll put him in that group. Uh. I 2075 01:52:15,360 --> 01:52:17,160 Speaker 1: think the tight ends. You know, we all, you know, 2076 01:52:17,240 --> 01:52:19,599 Speaker 1: we look at this group, we all kind of assume four. 2077 01:52:19,920 --> 01:52:22,600 Speaker 1: But what are they thinking? You know, that's that's a 2078 01:52:22,680 --> 01:52:24,519 Speaker 1: conversation I'd love to be and like, what are you 2079 01:52:24,640 --> 01:52:27,720 Speaker 1: really thinking about four tight ends versus three? Uh? And 2080 01:52:27,840 --> 01:52:31,439 Speaker 1: obviously the positions, uh, you know, the as you get 2081 01:52:31,439 --> 01:52:33,639 Speaker 1: to those higher numbers and the position groups and who's 2082 01:52:33,640 --> 01:52:36,280 Speaker 1: gonna make it special teams always come into play. Yeah. 2083 01:52:36,360 --> 01:52:39,360 Speaker 1: I think the battles to me, from that perspective of lander, 2084 01:52:39,439 --> 01:52:40,760 Speaker 1: that would have, you know, guys that would have to 2085 01:52:40,840 --> 01:52:44,360 Speaker 1: have I think Collie Waren would have to build off 2086 01:52:44,439 --> 01:52:46,880 Speaker 1: of what you did the other day in practice and 2087 01:52:47,040 --> 01:52:49,760 Speaker 1: I think that Kron Higden and Buddy Howell, depending on 2088 01:52:49,920 --> 01:52:52,280 Speaker 1: whether they did full tackle or thought you know whatever. 2089 01:52:53,120 --> 01:52:56,240 Speaker 1: Uh I those two guys, you know, I think Bill 2090 01:52:56,280 --> 01:52:58,560 Speaker 1: said the other day that Buddy is Is would be 2091 01:52:58,760 --> 01:53:02,320 Speaker 1: the third guy if this eason started today. But Kron 2092 01:53:02,439 --> 01:53:05,320 Speaker 1: Higgen's not going quietly into the night, you know, He's 2093 01:53:05,320 --> 01:53:07,479 Speaker 1: still there as well. So I would think that those 2094 01:53:07,520 --> 01:53:10,800 Speaker 1: two guys, Kron Higden Buddy Howe, would definitely have they 2095 01:53:10,880 --> 01:53:13,519 Speaker 1: would have to show something. Kron would have to show 2096 01:53:13,520 --> 01:53:15,519 Speaker 1: it on special teams. I think Buddy would have to 2097 01:53:15,600 --> 01:53:17,640 Speaker 1: show that he is that much more I'm accomplished a 2098 01:53:17,680 --> 01:53:20,679 Speaker 1: runner than Higden is and then Wearing has to build 2099 01:53:20,720 --> 01:53:24,240 Speaker 1: off of what of what he's already done. I think 2100 01:53:24,360 --> 01:53:26,839 Speaker 1: those those are all there, and I think the scrimmage 2101 01:53:26,880 --> 01:53:30,120 Speaker 1: also helps the guy like PJ Hall. PJ came here, 2102 01:53:30,680 --> 01:53:32,960 Speaker 1: had to get himself in good shape, had to get 2103 01:53:33,080 --> 01:53:35,680 Speaker 1: himself down and wait a little bit. He is a 2104 01:53:35,760 --> 01:53:38,280 Speaker 1: guy that can turn it on and off, and when 2105 01:53:38,320 --> 01:53:40,559 Speaker 1: he turns it on, whoa when he turns it off, 2106 01:53:40,720 --> 01:53:43,280 Speaker 1: like is he even playing? So yeah, he's got an 2107 01:53:43,320 --> 01:53:46,160 Speaker 1: opportunity to say, hey, look at me, guys, because that 2108 01:53:46,320 --> 01:53:48,960 Speaker 1: defensive line room. But they got some players that we 2109 01:53:49,120 --> 01:53:51,320 Speaker 1: I mean, I blacklocks a lot better than anybody expected, 2110 01:53:51,400 --> 01:53:54,120 Speaker 1: than I expected, So it's kind of jammed up and PJ. 2111 01:53:54,200 --> 01:53:56,320 Speaker 1: Hall's got an opportunity to do something. I love you 2112 01:53:57,320 --> 01:53:59,320 Speaker 1: and I really do.
