Yeah, yesterday I was walking out 13 00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:43,560 Speaker 1: of the building and there there was somebody walking behind 14 00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:46,800 Speaker 1: me and walked out and and I heard him just say, oh, 15 00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:49,560 Speaker 1: move me to Houston right now. It was like, Yeah, 16 00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:51,920 Speaker 1: you might want to say that in August, but right now. 17 00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:54,640 Speaker 1: I love it all. I love it all. Bring the heat, baby, 18 00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:57,440 Speaker 1: I love it well. We won't be experiencing the heat 19 00:00:57,440 --> 00:00:59,760 Speaker 1: for at least a few weeks when we go up 20 00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:04,120 Speaker 1: to the Greenbrier in July and beginning of August. And 21 00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:09,080 Speaker 1: we won't know obviously what days yet, but the preseason 22 00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:13,160 Speaker 1: schedule is out and you are always You're always my 23 00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:15,360 Speaker 1: favorite guest when it comes to the preseason, because I'm 24 00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:19,920 Speaker 1: mister pres you are, you are mister the title. You 25 00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:22,480 Speaker 1: are a mister August. I've given that to players before. 26 00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:24,520 Speaker 1: By the way, some guys are just lighting up in 27 00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:27,600 Speaker 1: the preseason. Give me your best one, Well, this I 28 00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:29,800 Speaker 1: got We'll give Okay, here's one of a couple of 29 00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:31,720 Speaker 1: good ones. And you know one of them has a 30 00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:33,920 Speaker 1: contract with the Broncos right now, Case Keenum I thought 31 00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:35,920 Speaker 1: it was a pretty good mister August. Remember the preseason 32 00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:38,040 Speaker 1: game he won against the Cowboys in twenty thirteen in 33 00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:41,720 Speaker 1: Week four, We're like, it's week four, keenam starting? What'sever? 34 00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:43,800 Speaker 1: You know what's gonna become of Case Keenum An it's 35 00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:46,600 Speaker 1: a long shot. Look at him now, right And you know, 36 00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:48,840 Speaker 1: I don't know what's gonna happen with Tom Savage's career, 37 00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:53,760 Speaker 1: but I'll always remember the savage last second drive against 38 00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:57,559 Speaker 1: Denver in twenty fourteen. You know when he hit Ryan 39 00:01:57,600 --> 00:01:59,480 Speaker 1: Griffin for the go ahead touchdown, and who did he 40 00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:02,240 Speaker 1: hit this lapart Travis lap Heart with the two point conversion. 41 00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:05,440 Speaker 1: I mean, look, in the context of preseason, there have 42 00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:07,880 Speaker 1: been some fun times trend in holiday. It's funny because 43 00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:10,280 Speaker 1: Landry Locker when I visit with the Morning Guys on 44 00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:14,640 Speaker 1: six ten, he runs an obscure highlight from me at 45 00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:17,640 Speaker 1: least once per appearance, like it could be an extra 46 00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:21,320 Speaker 1: point that doesn't mean anything like from the opponent he played. 47 00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:25,400 Speaker 1: He played a Phil Savage extra point. Recently, he played 48 00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:29,560 Speaker 1: though a trended holiday touchdown from the preseason at one 49 00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:32,040 Speaker 1: of my recent visits. And to me, when you look 50 00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:34,480 Speaker 1: at Jacoby Jones and oh seven of the preseason, yeah, 51 00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:38,720 Speaker 1: they were actually printing Jacoby Jones jerseys to sell at 52 00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:40,839 Speaker 1: the Go Texan store now known as the Texans Team 53 00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:44,280 Speaker 1: Shop at the time, because hey, Jacoby Jones looked like 54 00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:46,200 Speaker 1: he was gonna be a big star, and he did 55 00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:49,240 Speaker 1: become one, but not here unfortunately, but he did some 56 00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:51,760 Speaker 1: things here. Anyway, in the preseason, you do get some 57 00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:55,480 Speaker 1: interesting things happening. Less Star Jean, Less Star Jean's another 58 00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:57,440 Speaker 1: one that's a mister August right there. That's a good one. 59 00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:02,360 Speaker 1: Willie Jefferson, Willie Jefferson a good that's like mister practice 60 00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:06,120 Speaker 1: in AFU. Yeah, I mean it was Willie Jefferson, Russian 61 00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:08,239 Speaker 1: the pastor. That was twenty thirteen as well, Man twenty 62 00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:11,520 Speaker 1: thirteen was a busy offseason. In that same twenty thirteen 63 00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:17,640 Speaker 1: game four sierr Wood, sierr Wood against the Cowboys, that 64 00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:20,440 Speaker 1: was the Kingdom game. Looked so good in that game. 65 00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:22,639 Speaker 1: I think did he run for a Hundy? I think 66 00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:25,639 Speaker 1: he did. I think he did. That was that that 67 00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:29,120 Speaker 1: game spawned some well Spawnsorme career, seemingly. But and then 68 00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:32,239 Speaker 1: you have the Kansas City three in week seven, sierr 69 00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:35,240 Speaker 1: Wood among them, guys who longer with the team after 70 00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:38,080 Speaker 1: that road trip. Ju and I were talking about that earlier. 71 00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:41,040 Speaker 1: Today we're just talking about that that trip to Kansas 72 00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:45,240 Speaker 1: City in twenty thirteen and talking about all that was 73 00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:48,600 Speaker 1: going on. I'd forgotten that Wade Phillips's dad, Bomb had 74 00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:53,720 Speaker 1: passed away earlier that week. In that game, Brian Cushing 75 00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:59,040 Speaker 1: gets hurt again. You had the Kansas City three, Gary 76 00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:01,640 Speaker 1: and got hurt in that game game. I had forgotten 77 00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:07,000 Speaker 1: just how awful that particular trip was on so many 78 00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:12,680 Speaker 1: different Oh, it was so so bad. Now we we 79 00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:15,600 Speaker 1: bring all that up because the preseason schedule is out, 80 00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:19,440 Speaker 1: we do not know what days these games when we 81 00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:20,880 Speaker 1: played on a lot of people have asked us it 82 00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:23,480 Speaker 1: could be a Friday or Saturday, whatever. Couldn't be a Thursday. 83 00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:25,720 Speaker 1: Last year we played on a Wednesday. Yeah, but that's 84 00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:27,360 Speaker 1: not gonna happen again. It won't happen again. The reason 85 00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:29,640 Speaker 1: it happened last year at Charlotte was because the PGA 86 00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:33,200 Speaker 1: tournament PGA Championship was going on and they didn't feel 87 00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:35,599 Speaker 1: like they could have security at the football game the 88 00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:37,960 Speaker 1: same weekend. They could play that the golf tournament. So 89 00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:41,520 Speaker 1: either way, that's a major American city, boys and girls 90 00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:44,359 Speaker 1: that could never mind. Just yeah, I'm gonna leave that 91 00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:46,200 Speaker 1: one there because my brother and my brother and sister 92 00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:47,880 Speaker 1: in law live there and they love it and it's 93 00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:49,640 Speaker 1: it's great and Charlotte is a great town. But they 94 00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:53,000 Speaker 1: played on Wednesday. Why that matters what day is because 95 00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:56,040 Speaker 1: the Texans can start training camp two weeks from that, 96 00:04:56,320 --> 00:05:00,120 Speaker 1: right from that particular start. So if they play the 97 00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:02,640 Speaker 1: first game August, I don't know, say it's a Saturday, 98 00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:05,120 Speaker 1: Argus eleventh, they can start two weeks prior to So, 99 00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:07,560 Speaker 1: so let's assume it's a Saturday. Let's assume that it's 100 00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:10,640 Speaker 1: a Saturday. That would have the Texans starting somewhere twenty seven, 101 00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:14,960 Speaker 1: twenty eighth of July and then the first game at 102 00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:18,800 Speaker 1: Kansas City at Arrowhead Stadium. Yeah, that's gonna be good. 103 00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:22,120 Speaker 1: Look I like this, Mahomes and Deshaun Watson, right, two 104 00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:25,040 Speaker 1: teams that were very aggressive in the draft last year 105 00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:27,520 Speaker 1: to move up and take these two guys two picks apart, 106 00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:30,760 Speaker 1: number ten for Mahomes, twelve for Watson. And look, I 107 00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:33,360 Speaker 1: don't want to oversell it here. Each of these guys 108 00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:35,720 Speaker 1: bound to play a quarter or maybe less than that. 109 00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:38,640 Speaker 1: But it's kind of a fun thing to see Mahomes 110 00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:42,160 Speaker 1: and Watson square off in week one of the preseason. 111 00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:45,480 Speaker 1: Plus Arrowhead Stadium. You know, you have all these new facilities, 112 00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:48,160 Speaker 1: and they're incredible palaces. I mean, we were in Minnesota 113 00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:50,200 Speaker 1: last year. You see some of these places. But this 114 00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:53,479 Speaker 1: is one of the old gems, the Grand Dams, if 115 00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:56,640 Speaker 1: you will, that remains in the NFL. When you look 116 00:05:56,640 --> 00:05:59,360 Speaker 1: at Arrowhead Stadium in the history there, and it was 117 00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:01,719 Speaker 1: built in the early seventies and they built it really well. 118 00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:04,160 Speaker 1: They built it so they could retrofit it and keep 119 00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:05,960 Speaker 1: it going, and they did recently do that a few 120 00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:08,120 Speaker 1: years ago, and it's good to go for the next 121 00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:10,360 Speaker 1: I don't know, fifteen twenty years and then I'll have 122 00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:12,720 Speaker 1: to figure it out from there. But I like this place. 123 00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:15,560 Speaker 1: I mean, it's such a bowl It reminds me of 124 00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:18,600 Speaker 1: Lambeau in that way, such a bowl type setting. Very loud, 125 00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:20,400 Speaker 1: as y'all know. They brag about how loud they are. 126 00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:23,320 Speaker 1: Who knows who's the loudest stadium, Maybe Minnesota, Seattle or 127 00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:27,000 Speaker 1: this or maybe n RG during a playoff environment. Who knows. 128 00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:30,000 Speaker 1: But to me, it's one of the more exciting places 129 00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:32,440 Speaker 1: to go in the league. So the building itself kind 130 00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:35,040 Speaker 1: of makes it special. There's a lot to sell about 131 00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:37,960 Speaker 1: this game, Andy Reid. This offense is going to look 132 00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:41,120 Speaker 1: different with Mahomes than it did with Smith, and it'll 133 00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:43,000 Speaker 1: be a good first test for the Texans. You would 134 00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:47,760 Speaker 1: think it is the only permanent AFC stadium. I have 135 00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:51,640 Speaker 1: not been to permanent because the Chargers and the other one, 136 00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:54,560 Speaker 1: and that's not a permanent stadium. That's wherever they are, 137 00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:57,720 Speaker 1: StubHub Center or whatever it might be. So Kansas City 138 00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:01,440 Speaker 1: is really the only permanent stadium I've not been. That's right, 139 00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:04,240 Speaker 1: you weren't with us in twenty thirteen. Nope, So I've 140 00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:06,040 Speaker 1: not been there. I've been to Airhead parking lot because 141 00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:07,800 Speaker 1: I've gone to a Royals game, I've been in the 142 00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:10,040 Speaker 1: parking lot, but I have not been to a game 143 00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:12,760 Speaker 1: at Kansas City. Very excited about that, no matter what 144 00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:15,720 Speaker 1: its preseason or not. The Hunts, the city, the area, 145 00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:18,440 Speaker 1: they had great vision in building that facility, and with 146 00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:21,080 Speaker 1: Kaufman Stadium formerly known as Kaufman Stadium. I don't know 147 00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:23,200 Speaker 1: what it is now. I don't know. It's something. It's 148 00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:26,120 Speaker 1: out there. It's a beautiful the Road stadium. It's gorgeous, 149 00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:28,920 Speaker 1: it's fantast and it's outside the city. So yeah, I mean, 150 00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:31,040 Speaker 1: if you like downtown parks, this is not your thing. 151 00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:33,600 Speaker 1: But the tailgating is excellent. It's not as good as 152 00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:36,320 Speaker 1: the Texans, but I mean barbecue in Kansas City is 153 00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:38,720 Speaker 1: pretty good. Second game. Don't get me started on Kansas 154 00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:44,600 Speaker 1: City versus second game. Jimmy Garoppolo and the forty nine 155 00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:47,440 Speaker 1: ers come back to NRG Stadium take on the Texans 156 00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:49,880 Speaker 1: in week two the preseason. All right. I wrote about 157 00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:53,280 Speaker 1: this on Houston Texans Dot com revenge is a dish 158 00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:56,680 Speaker 1: best served cold or whatever, and preseason is not the 159 00:07:56,720 --> 00:08:00,240 Speaker 1: time for revenge. If revenge is a dish, this is 160 00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:02,280 Speaker 1: an ord DRV and I'll take a little order of 161 00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:05,280 Speaker 1: revenge please. I want to make life rough for Jimmy 162 00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:06,520 Speaker 1: that day. I think it's a good test for the 163 00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:08,480 Speaker 1: defense week too. They're gonna play a little bit longer, 164 00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:11,160 Speaker 1: maybe a quarter and a half or however many snaps 165 00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:14,640 Speaker 1: that adds up to. I'd like seeing Jimmy because look, 166 00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:18,360 Speaker 1: he looked great last year. He's not lost a start yet, 167 00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:20,600 Speaker 1: and you want to be able to have a look 168 00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:23,320 Speaker 1: of your defense against whatever he's gonna cook up with 169 00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:25,840 Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahan. And yeah, people do get a little more 170 00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:28,560 Speaker 1: of vanilla, a lot more of vanilla in the preseason. 171 00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:31,120 Speaker 1: But if there's any offense that doesn't really vanilla, it 172 00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:33,920 Speaker 1: out too much in the preseason, maybe in a play 173 00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:36,000 Speaker 1: calling sense, but not so much in a scheme sense. 174 00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:40,560 Speaker 1: It's that Kubiak Shanahan offense, and they're gonna run the bootlegs, 175 00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:42,320 Speaker 1: they're gonna do the stuff they do, so it's good 176 00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:45,120 Speaker 1: practice against them. Yeah, there's no question Texans will not 177 00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:47,679 Speaker 1: play the forty nine ers during the season. They did 178 00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:52,120 Speaker 1: that last year. But seeing Jimmy Garoppolo in preseason last year, 179 00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:56,720 Speaker 1: saw him in the regular season, yeah, in six to seventeen, 180 00:08:56,920 --> 00:08:59,360 Speaker 1: and now seeing him in the I'll tell you what, 181 00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:02,280 Speaker 1: if we played jim Garoppolo again in twenty eighteen, that's 182 00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:04,120 Speaker 1: a good thing. That means you're in the super Bowl. 183 00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:08,040 Speaker 1: So at Kansas City Week one home against San Francisco. 184 00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:13,600 Speaker 1: Week two, Week three at the Los Angeles Rams. The Rams. Now, 185 00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:15,920 Speaker 1: remember what I said about Arrowhead Stadium. In the building, 186 00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:20,240 Speaker 1: this is another great building. It's funny and I sat year. 187 00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:22,800 Speaker 1: Great in the sense of history. It's not a great facility. 188 00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:25,280 Speaker 1: It's a terrible facility. I thought about this the other day. 189 00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:29,160 Speaker 1: How did you get to the booth? There are no elevators. Right, 190 00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:30,679 Speaker 1: we went on to the field. I'd right, and I 191 00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:32,559 Speaker 1: walked out of the field, as we often do when 192 00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:34,199 Speaker 1: we got off the bus. We go to the field, 193 00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:35,960 Speaker 1: and sometimes we just don't have time. It was a 194 00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:37,520 Speaker 1: long ride and we got to get right up to 195 00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:39,040 Speaker 1: do the radio hit or whatever. But we like to 196 00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:41,679 Speaker 1: go on the field, especially him, you know, former quarterback, 197 00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:43,280 Speaker 1: likes to go on the field. So we're on the 198 00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:46,240 Speaker 1: field there and we're looking up and there's no deck there. 199 00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:48,559 Speaker 1: It's one level. You know, it's like the Rose Bowl 200 00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:51,280 Speaker 1: or one of those traditional bowl stadiums. You walk right 201 00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:53,040 Speaker 1: up to the press box if you can do it. 202 00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:56,559 Speaker 1: So I thought, let's do it. We said, let's go. 203 00:09:56,800 --> 00:09:59,560 Speaker 1: So we started walking and we kept just up the 204 00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:01,960 Speaker 1: stairs and we kept walking up and up and up, 205 00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:04,080 Speaker 1: and we finally got to the press box. And yeah, 206 00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:05,920 Speaker 1: it was definitely a little bit of a you know, 207 00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:08,040 Speaker 1: mid morning workout, as it turned out, but I thought 208 00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:09,760 Speaker 1: it was great to do it that way. Now what 209 00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:12,320 Speaker 1: you see is, you know, you're among the fans. They're 210 00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:14,640 Speaker 1: not there yet when we get there, but you're seeing 211 00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:16,719 Speaker 1: these seats and they're all rusted out. The Coliseum is 212 00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:19,280 Speaker 1: a joke. I mean, it's it's a great old building 213 00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:20,960 Speaker 1: in terms of the history and the events that have 214 00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:23,640 Speaker 1: been played there. And you're talking about Olympics at eighty 215 00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:26,200 Speaker 1: four and the Raiders and the Rams of Old and 216 00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:28,080 Speaker 1: all of the other stuff everything that's going on there. 217 00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:30,319 Speaker 1: I mean Super Bowls, I mean, come, all of the 218 00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:36,640 Speaker 1: USC crazy stuff. But the seats are rusting out, you know, 219 00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:39,199 Speaker 1: they're not the building is on its last legs. You know, 220 00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:40,560 Speaker 1: but they still have all the stuff in the end 221 00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:42,760 Speaker 1: zone and the monuments and all that, so it's a 222 00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:45,200 Speaker 1: cool place to go. I think, Johnny, that week three 223 00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:47,360 Speaker 1: preseason game at the Rams, you can see a lot 224 00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:51,600 Speaker 1: of traveling Texans go because travel. You know, it's funny 225 00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:54,920 Speaker 1: the Texans fans, they love to travel. They love to 226 00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:57,080 Speaker 1: make it a big event no matter what it is. 227 00:10:57,320 --> 00:11:00,240 Speaker 1: They loved going to Dallas week four the preseason in 228 00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:02,040 Speaker 1: when they were playing up there for a number of years, 229 00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:04,120 Speaker 1: and you know, we'll do that again, I'm sure. But 230 00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:06,560 Speaker 1: for LA. I mean, you go to La, so you 231 00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:09,360 Speaker 1: spend some time there, you see your team play. It's 232 00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:12,000 Speaker 1: week three, so the starters are likely to play the most. 233 00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:14,520 Speaker 1: Maybe you see a lot of Deshaun Watson. I mean, 234 00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:16,400 Speaker 1: this is gonna be fun stuff. I think this is 235 00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:19,000 Speaker 1: as far as preseason games go, this is a great 236 00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:27,160 Speaker 1: opportunity to see the Texas Joint practices would absolutely absolutely 237 00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:30,920 Speaker 1: be something that I want to see a lot of sense. Actually, 238 00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:35,960 Speaker 1: yes it does, because you're you're there. I'm sure. Look, 239 00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:38,839 Speaker 1: this is not an original thought. You know, Bill O'Brien's 240 00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:42,480 Speaker 1: probably thinking the same thing. Because if you can swing 241 00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:45,000 Speaker 1: it with them, you go out there. The weather's better 242 00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:47,360 Speaker 1: than it is here that time of year, no doubt 243 00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:49,880 Speaker 1: about it. So you do a couple of practices, maybe 244 00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:52,160 Speaker 1: one even would be beneficial, and then you play the 245 00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:55,400 Speaker 1: game on Saturday night. How many practice? Now, we saw 246 00:11:55,520 --> 00:11:58,120 Speaker 1: one practice with the Saints last year, but they did 247 00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:04,200 Speaker 1: a second practice they did they knock one in. And 248 00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:08,240 Speaker 1: then Week four, yeah, at home, which it was supposed 249 00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:11,040 Speaker 1: to be last year, but then it got moved because 250 00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:15,400 Speaker 1: of Hurricane Harvey and the Dallas Cowboys. Well, to me, 251 00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:17,880 Speaker 1: there are a couple of different ways to look at this. 252 00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:21,600 Speaker 1: First of all, it doesn't matter if it's a parking lot. 253 00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:24,199 Speaker 1: It doesn't matter if it's second stringers, It doesn't matter 254 00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:27,079 Speaker 1: if it's ticketing staff versus ticketing staff. I don't care 255 00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:31,439 Speaker 1: who it is. I love seeing this organization play that organization. 256 00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:34,760 Speaker 1: I don't care what the context is. Now. Remember it's 257 00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:36,720 Speaker 1: week four, so people are thinking, oh darn it, it's 258 00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:38,800 Speaker 1: week four. You're not going to see Dak You're not 259 00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:41,480 Speaker 1: gonna see Deshaun. But look at it this way. The 260 00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:45,199 Speaker 1: last time the Cowboys were scheduled to play a preseason 261 00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:48,599 Speaker 1: game here was last year. The time before, well, not 262 00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:50,880 Speaker 1: the time before that. But the last time they were 263 00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:53,160 Speaker 1: playing in the regular season here and a preseason game 264 00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:55,720 Speaker 1: here was two thousan ten. They played both, and the 265 00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:58,920 Speaker 1: Texans won the preseason game against a Wade Phillips coached 266 00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:01,559 Speaker 1: Cowboys team and won that game soundly, as I recalled, 267 00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:03,400 Speaker 1: I don't have to score in front of me. Then 268 00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:05,160 Speaker 1: it was time to play them in the regular season 269 00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:07,640 Speaker 1: and the Texans got their brains beat in by the Cowboys. 270 00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:10,680 Speaker 1: So I don't mind the starters not participating in this 271 00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:13,880 Speaker 1: particular one. In fact, I'd rather harken back to two 272 00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:17,199 Speaker 1: thousand and two when the Texans scrimmaged the Cowboys at 273 00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:20,160 Speaker 1: then Robertson Stadium on the campus of the university accusition 274 00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:23,040 Speaker 1: and look terrible doing it. But then a few weeks 275 00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:25,400 Speaker 1: later they play them in the opener here and they 276 00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:27,520 Speaker 1: beat them. So I'd rather have something like that occur. 277 00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:29,880 Speaker 1: Play them week four. You play the second string, third 278 00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:31,680 Speaker 1: straight whoever is not going to make the team, and 279 00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:33,920 Speaker 1: some guys who are fighting for their careers, and some 280 00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:35,839 Speaker 1: guys certainly will make the team. We just went over 281 00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:39,160 Speaker 1: the game four scenarios from time to time, and then 282 00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:41,360 Speaker 1: play them whenever it does occur in the regular season. 283 00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:43,160 Speaker 1: We're gonna find that out next week when the schedule 284 00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:46,400 Speaker 1: comes out. There it is. The preseason schedule is in 285 00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:49,360 Speaker 1: the books locking in everybody. Don't know the dates yet, 286 00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:51,120 Speaker 1: don't know the times. We'll get those two you when 287 00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:54,040 Speaker 1: they are made public. Texans do not have a nationally 288 00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:56,920 Speaker 1: televised game, but they do have these four games. Week 289 00:13:56,960 --> 00:14:00,280 Speaker 1: one at Kansas City, Week two home against San Francisco, 290 00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:05,240 Speaker 1: Week three at the LA Rams, Week four the Dallas Cowboys. 291 00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:08,120 Speaker 1: Now they will play the Dallas Cowboys during the regular season. 292 00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:12,319 Speaker 1: They will also face another dozen teams during the year, 293 00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:17,280 Speaker 1: thirteen teams in total. Do those teams scare you offensively 294 00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:19,520 Speaker 1: on paper? Now, obviously they'll have a draft and there'll 295 00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:22,480 Speaker 1: be some rookies that impact those teams, But do those 296 00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:26,200 Speaker 1: teams scare you offensively? Marks gonna stick around. We'll talk 297 00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:29,720 Speaker 1: about that next right here in Texans, Alexis, the preseason 298 00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:33,280 Speaker 1: schedule is out. We only get excited about that because, well, 299 00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:36,440 Speaker 1: you know, the NFL allows us to see these things 300 00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:38,320 Speaker 1: every so often. The regular season schedule will come out 301 00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:41,280 Speaker 1: next week. If you missed it. Texans go to Kansas 302 00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:43,960 Speaker 1: City for Week one. They're home Againstan Francisco in Week two. 303 00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:47,760 Speaker 1: They're at LA in Week three, their home against the 304 00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:52,160 Speaker 1: Cowboys in the ever important Week four. For at least 305 00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:54,160 Speaker 1: a few players, it will be ever important, There's no 306 00:14:54,240 --> 00:14:57,160 Speaker 1: question about that. Now. The regular season schedule will be 307 00:14:57,280 --> 00:15:01,000 Speaker 1: out sometime next week. We don't know for sure when, 308 00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:04,280 Speaker 1: but we do know it's gonna be out sometime next week. 309 00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:06,640 Speaker 1: I'm John Harris alongside the voice of the Texans, Mark Vander. 310 00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:08,640 Speaker 1: Right now, I bring up that regular season schedule. Mark, 311 00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:15,800 Speaker 1: Texans play thirteen teams in twenty eighteen. They play their 312 00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:19,040 Speaker 1: three division teams, they cross over with the AFC East, 313 00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:24,000 Speaker 1: they cross over with the NFC East in East East, 314 00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:26,360 Speaker 1: and then they play Cleveland and Denver based on fourth 315 00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:29,520 Speaker 1: place schedule. Right now, I got to thinking about this 316 00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:34,680 Speaker 1: when you look at that roster of thirteen teams, and 317 00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:36,520 Speaker 1: I've looked at this over the past few years, and 318 00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:38,560 Speaker 1: I remember looking at the schedule in twenty sixteen, and 319 00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:41,280 Speaker 1: I remember thinking as I looked at the schedule, Wow, 320 00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:47,480 Speaker 1: there's a stretch of car Rivers, Rogers, Luck in four 321 00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:54,000 Speaker 1: weeks of all my gosh, last year faced Brady Russell, Wilson, 322 00:15:54,560 --> 00:16:01,320 Speaker 1: Ben Roethlisberger, Alex Smith, Jared Gough, Rob how tough was 323 00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:04,720 Speaker 1: going to be faced? Six? I mean stud quarterbacks that 324 00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:06,520 Speaker 1: I'm sure if you did a rant, you'd probably put 325 00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:09,440 Speaker 1: those six in the top twelve. As you look at 326 00:16:09,480 --> 00:16:12,640 Speaker 1: on paper, as you look at this group of teams 327 00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:16,880 Speaker 1: of Texans face, I know Brady's still there, I know 328 00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:20,040 Speaker 1: Wents in Philadelphia. But when I look at the offense 329 00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:24,280 Speaker 1: is that this defense will face, it feels like, I 330 00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:26,040 Speaker 1: don't want to say a discount, but it feels like 331 00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:27,680 Speaker 1: there's a little bit of a break. It's not like 332 00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:30,440 Speaker 1: it was in past year. I know where you're going. Yeah, 333 00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:35,040 Speaker 1: it just doesn't it's not a daunting group of offenses 334 00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:37,760 Speaker 1: that they're going to face those thirteen teams. And I think, 335 00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:40,280 Speaker 1: you know, we always talk about this as being complimentary too. 336 00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:42,920 Speaker 1: What's your offense doing to make life easier? Is your 337 00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:47,160 Speaker 1: offense running the football? Is your offense dominating or at 338 00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:50,120 Speaker 1: least taking the majority of the time in time of possession? 339 00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:53,200 Speaker 1: That really helps your defense. Obviously we go over that 340 00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:55,560 Speaker 1: all the time. But when I look at Cleveland, they're 341 00:16:55,560 --> 00:16:58,200 Speaker 1: not scaring me right now, Johnny. When I look at Denver, 342 00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:01,440 Speaker 1: not scaring me right now? You know, and look, with 343 00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:03,600 Speaker 1: all due respect to case Keenam and whoever they trot 344 00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:06,520 Speaker 1: out there, whoever they're gonna draft early, it's just not 345 00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:09,720 Speaker 1: looking like that kind of offense to me. And again, 346 00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:13,240 Speaker 1: you know, when you when you replace Gary Kubiak with 347 00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:16,040 Speaker 1: Mike McCoy and then you have to replace him again, 348 00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:18,840 Speaker 1: it just it feels like it's gonna take a while. 349 00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:21,000 Speaker 1: It feels like they're spinning and wheels in some sense. 350 00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:26,000 Speaker 1: And the Jets, you know, Josh McCown and Bridgewater, who else, Hackenburg, 351 00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:30,439 Speaker 1: no, no no way, you know, Miami with gaze. It feels 352 00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:32,960 Speaker 1: like it could happen at any moment where they start 353 00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:35,679 Speaker 1: really getting it going, but they haven't yet, you know. 354 00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:38,320 Speaker 1: And I still think that with Gaye, it's gonna be 355 00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:40,159 Speaker 1: interesting to watch him. A lot of people have a 356 00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:44,200 Speaker 1: great deal of respect for him. But you're a coordinator, 357 00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:46,919 Speaker 1: really good coordinator, becoming a head coach. How do you 358 00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:49,560 Speaker 1: handle your side of the football while being trying to 359 00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:51,200 Speaker 1: be a really good head coach? He did make the 360 00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:53,640 Speaker 1: playoffs that first year. There's a lot to consider here 361 00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:55,800 Speaker 1: with them, but it's not a frightening thing, you know. 362 00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:58,840 Speaker 1: It's not like we're facing this machine with Roethlisberger and 363 00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:01,159 Speaker 1: all the receivers and Levy on Bell healthy and everything 364 00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:05,120 Speaker 1: like that. So Buffalo, no, not right now, A J. McCarry. 365 00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:07,119 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna get scared of Buffalo right now. And 366 00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:09,320 Speaker 1: New England is New England, by the way, getting back 367 00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:11,480 Speaker 1: to the preseason topic, I'm glad they don't play the 368 00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:13,720 Speaker 1: Patriots this year, you know, I believe me, I'd take it. 369 00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:15,919 Speaker 1: We'd enjoy seeing them and all of that, but I 370 00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:19,000 Speaker 1: kind of like it. Let's let's leave some mystery out there. 371 00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:21,440 Speaker 1: Let's leave some mystery. Because you were the one who 372 00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:25,640 Speaker 1: pointed out the play that they made that the Texans 373 00:18:25,640 --> 00:18:27,720 Speaker 1: made against them with Andrey how pick it off. Brady 374 00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:29,720 Speaker 1: and the Patriots saw it, and they adjusted to it 375 00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:32,560 Speaker 1: in the regular season matchup and they got a big 376 00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:35,320 Speaker 1: play generated from that. They look at everything, like Bill 377 00:18:35,359 --> 00:18:37,720 Speaker 1: O'Brien knows. So I don't want to see them. I 378 00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:39,359 Speaker 1: don't want to practice with them. I don't want to 379 00:18:39,359 --> 00:18:41,480 Speaker 1: see it. Although we might practice with them, who knows. 380 00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:43,320 Speaker 1: I don't want to. I don't want to rule that out. 381 00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:45,840 Speaker 1: But that's practice. Yeah, practice a little different. I'd be 382 00:18:45,880 --> 00:18:47,760 Speaker 1: a little bit different. As you started going through I 383 00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:52,800 Speaker 1: start thinking about this. We faced Cleveland last year, but Cleveland, 384 00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:55,159 Speaker 1: no matter who's starting in Cleveland, it's gonna be a 385 00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:57,760 Speaker 1: guy that wasn't there last year. Denver, it's gonna be 386 00:18:57,760 --> 00:19:00,680 Speaker 1: case Keenham. He certainly wasn't in Denver last year. Ryan 387 00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:03,640 Speaker 1: Tanneyhill was not healthy last year for Miami. He wasn't 388 00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:05,800 Speaker 1: even in the mix. As mccaren gonna start in Buffalo. 389 00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:08,160 Speaker 1: But mccaren more than likely is gonna start. I would 390 00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:10,719 Speaker 1: think it's not Tyrode. So they're gonna start a new 391 00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:14,080 Speaker 1: quarterback the But here's where it gets, dicey. Are you 392 00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:17,719 Speaker 1: ready for the diceness? Okay, the NFC East, Dicey, because 393 00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:21,000 Speaker 1: Dak and Ezekiel Ella, you know, let's see how they 394 00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:23,760 Speaker 1: rebound from a down year. You know, are they healthy 395 00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:27,400 Speaker 1: and presumably not suspended. But Dallas, you know they could 396 00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:29,280 Speaker 1: bring it. They could bring when they're healthy. They gotta 397 00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:31,880 Speaker 1: the old line. Everybody's back, they're fresh. Who knows when 398 00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:35,120 Speaker 1: you're playing unhealthy? That's the I think outside of New England, 399 00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:39,040 Speaker 1: New England, Philly, I think Dallas, if to your point, 400 00:19:39,119 --> 00:19:42,480 Speaker 1: if those guys are all healthy, right in, all on 401 00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:45,160 Speaker 1: track to do what they're I think that's the next 402 00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:47,240 Speaker 1: dangerous office. No matter what happens with Des or not, 403 00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:49,560 Speaker 1: I do think they gotta they've got to add a 404 00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:51,760 Speaker 1: receiver to that mix. But I think Dallas is the 405 00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:53,639 Speaker 1: next one on that group. But you're right, Dak, and 406 00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:58,360 Speaker 1: then Philly, I mean, Philly's returning seemingly everybody offensively with 407 00:19:58,400 --> 00:20:03,560 Speaker 1: Wentz Wentz with And then you got Washington and Alex 408 00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:06,840 Speaker 1: Smith had a field day against this defense last year. 409 00:20:07,119 --> 00:20:09,560 Speaker 1: A field day. Yeah, a lot of that was with 410 00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:11,760 Speaker 1: merciless and wat out of the game, but he had 411 00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:15,080 Speaker 1: a field day and was playing tremendous ball. But he 412 00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:17,919 Speaker 1: is starting a new in Washington as opposed to be 413 00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:19,800 Speaker 1: in Kansas City. He doesn't have quite the weapons he 414 00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:23,400 Speaker 1: added Kansas City. But that first part of the list, 415 00:20:23,400 --> 00:20:25,800 Speaker 1: you're right, NFC East, I think is the most daunting 416 00:20:25,800 --> 00:20:27,880 Speaker 1: part of that side. Though Watton Whitney don't get hurt 417 00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:31,760 Speaker 1: in that game at all. Texans win that game, I mean, 418 00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:34,120 Speaker 1: I think so. I think so because they were kind 419 00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:38,159 Speaker 1: of holding it together without them the first drive. They 420 00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:39,639 Speaker 1: both need the field and you hold them to a 421 00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:42,360 Speaker 1: field goal that was not gonna touchdown drives and it didn't, 422 00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:43,560 Speaker 1: you know, it was kind of a little bit of 423 00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:45,280 Speaker 1: a snowball, and then you cut it to twenty six 424 00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:48,359 Speaker 1: twenty with this Watson rally. I think if Watton Whitney 425 00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:51,560 Speaker 1: stay healthy, they were gonna game plan well against Alex Smith. 426 00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:54,280 Speaker 1: They beat him here the year before, you know, the 427 00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:56,240 Speaker 1: water under the bridge, whatever, but I think it was 428 00:20:56,359 --> 00:20:59,080 Speaker 1: going to be a really hotly contested affair. It was anyway, 429 00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:00,960 Speaker 1: I think one of the things they would have done 430 00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:05,200 Speaker 1: when they made adjustments was to keep Alex Smith from 431 00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:08,120 Speaker 1: getting underneath the rush and then back out. I think 432 00:21:08,119 --> 00:21:10,480 Speaker 1: that would have been a major adjustment because that's the 433 00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:13,480 Speaker 1: one thing he did early on before JJ got hurt. 434 00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:16,080 Speaker 1: JJ would get a field and then Smith would tuck 435 00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:19,080 Speaker 1: underneath him. And so I think they would have made adjustments, 436 00:21:19,119 --> 00:21:22,200 Speaker 1: be its scheme or just you know, players adjusting JJ 437 00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:25,200 Speaker 1: and Whitney adjusting their rush. But when those two went out, 438 00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:27,000 Speaker 1: and you think about how much and I remember early 439 00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:29,840 Speaker 1: in that game, I remember seeing Whitney make a tackle 440 00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:33,119 Speaker 1: on a play where wow, why is he tackle on 441 00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:35,760 Speaker 1: that guy? And it was it was really early in 442 00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:37,960 Speaker 1: the game, and what had happened was they sort of 443 00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:41,320 Speaker 1: switch responsibilities off the zone read and I remember seeing 444 00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:43,680 Speaker 1: whit make the tackle on I just remember writing down 445 00:21:43,680 --> 00:21:48,520 Speaker 1: in my notebook they've game planned a certain way against 446 00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:51,120 Speaker 1: that scheme that includes Whitney, and so when Whitney went down, 447 00:21:51,119 --> 00:21:53,080 Speaker 1: I remember writing down, man, this is going to blow 448 00:21:53,119 --> 00:21:54,720 Speaker 1: up the game plan. Of course, then JJ goes out, 449 00:21:54,760 --> 00:21:58,360 Speaker 1: and now you're just trying to survive, right, because with 450 00:21:58,560 --> 00:22:00,680 Speaker 1: one of them gone, you feel like maybe you can 451 00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:02,440 Speaker 1: adjust a little bit. I can two of them gone 452 00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:04,679 Speaker 1: then like, oh my gosh, you know you're just putting it. 453 00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:07,960 Speaker 1: You're drawing it in the dirt, almost as the expression goes, Okay, 454 00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:10,919 Speaker 1: So you mentioned Philly the Giants with Eli. Look, I 455 00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:15,760 Speaker 1: don't know, is I mean we've seen in twenty fourteen 456 00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:17,600 Speaker 1: at home get hot against this team, and I know 457 00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:19,120 Speaker 1: it was a very different thing. He didn't have O'Dell 458 00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:21,280 Speaker 1: Beckham junior that there. Yeah, And it's not even about 459 00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:23,680 Speaker 1: like this team. It's just Eli gets hot from time 460 00:22:23,720 --> 00:22:26,560 Speaker 1: to time. Or sometimes he's a weird quarterback. Guys won 461 00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:28,800 Speaker 1: two Super Bowls. Sometimes I watch him and I'm thinking, 462 00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:31,639 Speaker 1: where's that ball supposed to be going? Like it's terrible looking, 463 00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:35,320 Speaker 1: But then other times bit bit bit laser like efficiency. 464 00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:37,360 Speaker 1: So who knows what you're gonna get out of them. 465 00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:39,639 Speaker 1: They come here, which is a nice thing, yes, but 466 00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:41,679 Speaker 1: you're gonna go to Philly in Washington, all right. The 467 00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:44,000 Speaker 1: other thing is this you're mentioning offenses here that could 468 00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:47,280 Speaker 1: scare you. I think the Titans, with everything going right, 469 00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:51,120 Speaker 1: you know, that's the little disclaimer here, could be really frightening. 470 00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:53,520 Speaker 1: I mean, I really mean that. You know, Mariota, he's 471 00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:55,639 Speaker 1: got to get better. Everybody says that, but he could. 472 00:22:56,119 --> 00:22:58,719 Speaker 1: I mean, don't discount that possibility. I don't know if 473 00:22:58,760 --> 00:23:00,920 Speaker 1: Matt Lafleur is a gene yes or not. He wasn't 474 00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:03,520 Speaker 1: calling plays for the Rams, but he's been around. You know, 475 00:23:03,560 --> 00:23:06,360 Speaker 1: he's seen that Kubiak Shanahan thing because he was here, 476 00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:08,520 Speaker 1: he was in Atlanta. He's been with Kyle. Now he's 477 00:23:08,560 --> 00:23:10,679 Speaker 1: with McVeigh. He's learned whatever he well, he was with 478 00:23:10,800 --> 00:23:13,800 Speaker 1: mcveigh's learned whatever he's learned. Now he's the OC in Tennessee. 479 00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:15,760 Speaker 1: I don't know what he's gonna bring. I mean, this 480 00:23:15,800 --> 00:23:18,520 Speaker 1: is a real X factor, hard to predict. And with Jacksonville, 481 00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:21,560 Speaker 1: it's about the bloodgeting. Yeah, you just that was the 482 00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:24,199 Speaker 1: one thing in that opening game that I thought about 483 00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:26,840 Speaker 1: and I thought this about halfway through and I realized 484 00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:31,000 Speaker 1: how Jacksonville was gonna play. Jacksonville essentially was gonna dare you. 485 00:23:31,720 --> 00:23:34,000 Speaker 1: No matter who they're playing, they were gonna dare you 486 00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:36,840 Speaker 1: come up and hit us every single play because we 487 00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:39,440 Speaker 1: think we are bigger, faster, and more physical than you. 488 00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:41,600 Speaker 1: Or whether they are or not, they felt like they 489 00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:44,080 Speaker 1: were and it didn't matter. They were just gonna keep 490 00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:46,359 Speaker 1: chipping away at the rock and pounding away. And I 491 00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:49,800 Speaker 1: remember that drive right before half. I want to say 492 00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:53,720 Speaker 1: it was ten nothing, and it was. They got down 493 00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:55,840 Speaker 1: inside the five and they bogged down and it was 494 00:23:55,920 --> 00:23:57,800 Speaker 1: fourth and one. I remember thinking, man, if they can 495 00:23:57,840 --> 00:24:00,240 Speaker 1: stop him and kind of flip the momentum, boy could 496 00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:03,320 Speaker 1: be very interesting. But then Fournette just pounded it in. 497 00:24:03,359 --> 00:24:06,080 Speaker 1: And I remember seeing on that play he hit I 498 00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:08,920 Speaker 1: think it was Cushing, maybe McKinney, and you can see 499 00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:11,639 Speaker 1: them give way because the amount of hits, and that 500 00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:13,720 Speaker 1: really is what it is. When you face them, you 501 00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:17,800 Speaker 1: just know you got to bring everything you've gotten, your pads, 502 00:24:18,119 --> 00:24:20,560 Speaker 1: and that's tough. I mean, that's tough for guys mentally 503 00:24:20,560 --> 00:24:22,679 Speaker 1: to go, Okay, we gotta do this again. And so 504 00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:25,280 Speaker 1: that's why your offense has to be that much more important. 505 00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:27,920 Speaker 1: Because if you get a fourteen nothing lead somehow, where 506 00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:29,880 Speaker 1: you get a ten nothing lead now a sudden, they're 507 00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:31,880 Speaker 1: throwing a little bit playing in your hands, you let 508 00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:35,400 Speaker 1: them play their game, that offense becomes dangerous for that reason. Yeah, 509 00:24:35,440 --> 00:24:38,240 Speaker 1: so the scariness of some of these offenses isn't so 510 00:24:38,320 --> 00:24:41,240 Speaker 1: much in scheme. And this guy is a surgeon or 511 00:24:41,280 --> 00:24:44,000 Speaker 1: whatever it's. You know, physically, you gotta hang with these guys, 512 00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:45,720 Speaker 1: got to stay healthy. You gotta be healthy going in. 513 00:24:45,760 --> 00:24:47,320 Speaker 1: You got a game plan well, and you gotta hang 514 00:24:47,359 --> 00:24:49,280 Speaker 1: with them physically, and can you do it? And I 515 00:24:49,320 --> 00:24:51,640 Speaker 1: think you, look, we don't know exactly what they're gonna 516 00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:54,359 Speaker 1: look like. Based on what they've been able to put together, 517 00:24:54,680 --> 00:24:57,040 Speaker 1: looks pretty interesting, you know, with total health, when you 518 00:24:57,040 --> 00:24:59,320 Speaker 1: think of all the kitchen sink stuff you can throw 519 00:24:59,359 --> 00:25:02,080 Speaker 1: a quarterback and you know, hopefully slow down the run, 520 00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:04,840 Speaker 1: if not stop it, you can really make some headway here. 521 00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:06,600 Speaker 1: But it's a good point you bring up. You don't 522 00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:10,320 Speaker 1: have this murderers row of quarterbacks necessarily, but you do 523 00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:12,800 Speaker 1: have some offenses that can hurt you. The league is 524 00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:15,080 Speaker 1: so even you know, we always talk about it, but 525 00:25:15,119 --> 00:25:16,920 Speaker 1: that's one of the things that makes it beautiful. Yeah, 526 00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:19,200 Speaker 1: no question, Mark appreciate it. Thank you, Johnny. The regular 527 00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:22,840 Speaker 1: season schedule that will be out next week, I don't 528 00:25:22,840 --> 00:25:26,680 Speaker 1: know whether there's Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday. Everybody's staying on their 529 00:25:26,760 --> 00:25:30,040 Speaker 1: toes for the announcement of the regular season when you're 530 00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:32,480 Speaker 1: in the preseason at Kansas City, San Francisco, at home 531 00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:37,440 Speaker 1: at La the Rams, and then against the Dallas Cowboys 532 00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:40,560 Speaker 1: in Week four. So when a regular season schedule comes out, 533 00:25:40,560 --> 00:25:43,320 Speaker 1: we'll break it down next week. I've said from the 534 00:25:43,359 --> 00:25:46,080 Speaker 1: last couple of weeks, my guest is Wednesday. They announced 535 00:25:46,080 --> 00:25:50,320 Speaker 1: the preseason schedule on Wednesday, but then again Thursday primetime television. 536 00:25:51,119 --> 00:25:54,239 Speaker 1: That that gets kind of exciting, I suppose. So from 537 00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:59,560 Speaker 1: that standpoint, I would think I would think it's gonna 538 00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:02,520 Speaker 1: be Wednesday or Thursday next week. Usually it's not Tuesday, 539 00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:06,480 Speaker 1: but it's about a day's notice. They say, hey, the 540 00:26:06,520 --> 00:26:09,119 Speaker 1: schedule is coming tomorrow, and then everybody gets geared up 541 00:26:09,119 --> 00:26:10,320 Speaker 1: and now we all know it's coming it this week 542 00:26:10,359 --> 00:26:12,480 Speaker 1: because it's definitely not coming the draft week because that's 543 00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:17,520 Speaker 1: gonna be solely for the draft. So preseason schedule announced today, 544 00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:20,960 Speaker 1: and then you have got the regular season next week. Now, 545 00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:24,360 Speaker 1: I mentioned earlier that the Texans do not have any 546 00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:31,639 Speaker 1: primetime a national television preseason games, which I don't know 547 00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:34,680 Speaker 1: that's a good thing or a bad thing, but maybe 548 00:26:34,760 --> 00:26:38,000 Speaker 1: it's a good thing because that means they're saving them 549 00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:39,760 Speaker 1: all for the regular season. But you've got the Hall 550 00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:42,679 Speaker 1: of Fame game, which is going to be the Bears 551 00:26:42,680 --> 00:26:45,280 Speaker 1: and the Ravens. That's your Hall of Fame game. Bears 552 00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:48,359 Speaker 1: Ravens or Lockers going in. Ray Lewis is going in 553 00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:52,159 Speaker 1: the Hall of Fame. So Bears Ravens Week two of 554 00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:56,520 Speaker 1: the preseason your regular season. I'm sorry You're primetime games 555 00:26:56,520 --> 00:27:10,719 Speaker 1: are Jets, Redskins, Ravens, Colts, Week three, Eagles, Browns, Lions, Buccaneers, Saints, Chargers, Bengals, Bills, Cardinals, Cowboys. 556 00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:15,840 Speaker 1: So that's one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight 557 00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:22,040 Speaker 1: eight preseason nationally televised games. Texans do not have any 558 00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:26,320 Speaker 1: of those in the preseason, so hopefully they'll make up 559 00:27:26,320 --> 00:27:28,760 Speaker 1: for it in the regular season. Because names I also 560 00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:33,680 Speaker 1: don't see their Patriots, I don't see Texans. I'm thinking 561 00:27:33,680 --> 00:27:35,639 Speaker 1: of teams that have got green Bay Packers are not 562 00:27:35,720 --> 00:27:40,800 Speaker 1: on there, so yes, the Eagles are, But that's really 563 00:27:40,800 --> 00:27:42,879 Speaker 1: about the teams. Because the teams I'm thinking are getting 564 00:27:43,280 --> 00:27:46,560 Speaker 1: these primetime games Dallas. Now Dallas gets one in Week three, 565 00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:49,560 Speaker 1: Cardinals v. Dallas. Have no idea who playing quarterback for 566 00:27:50,160 --> 00:27:53,119 Speaker 1: Arizona at that particular moment, but the Cardinals take on 567 00:27:53,119 --> 00:27:59,760 Speaker 1: a Cowboys. So no no preseason nationally televised games. But 568 00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:02,600 Speaker 1: obviously with the regular season is out next week, we'll 569 00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:07,080 Speaker 1: know days and times for the Texans primetime games. I've 570 00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:10,680 Speaker 1: set a long four. I would have even push the five. 571 00:28:10,840 --> 00:28:13,960 Speaker 1: I just think that when you're talking about the league 572 00:28:13,960 --> 00:28:17,199 Speaker 1: where it is right now and where it would like 573 00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:22,480 Speaker 1: to go. The days of Brady Manning Roethlisberger are nearing 574 00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:25,159 Speaker 1: an end. Obviously Manning for sure. We don't know how 575 00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:27,359 Speaker 1: long for Ben. Obviously don't know how long for Tom Brady, 576 00:28:27,359 --> 00:28:30,639 Speaker 1: but it can't be too long. The Dak Prescott's, the 577 00:28:30,760 --> 00:28:35,439 Speaker 1: Carson wentz Is, the Deshaun Watson's. Those players have to 578 00:28:35,480 --> 00:28:39,760 Speaker 1: start becoming the fabric. They've got to be the face 579 00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:43,840 Speaker 1: of the NFL, the faces of the NFL. Aaron Rodgers 580 00:28:43,840 --> 00:28:46,880 Speaker 1: still playing, but he's obviously in his thirties, So you're 581 00:28:46,920 --> 00:28:51,760 Speaker 1: talking about that run moving on and now these younger quarterbacks, 582 00:28:51,760 --> 00:28:53,360 Speaker 1: and that's why having a group of them in the 583 00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:56,240 Speaker 1: draft is I would think gonna help down the road. 584 00:28:56,960 --> 00:28:59,680 Speaker 1: But matching up Carson Wentz and DeShawn Watson on a 585 00:28:59,720 --> 00:29:01,560 Speaker 1: Sunday night, that seems to make a lot of sense 586 00:29:01,600 --> 00:29:05,600 Speaker 1: to me, Dak Prescott and Deshaun Watson, Tom Brady and 587 00:29:05,640 --> 00:29:09,440 Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson because that was obviously such a contest last 588 00:29:09,520 --> 00:29:13,760 Speaker 1: year in Foxboro. So to me, that's where the Texans 589 00:29:13,800 --> 00:29:14,960 Speaker 1: are going to pick up some of this. They're not 590 00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:18,320 Speaker 1: getting into the preseason, no nationally televised preseason games for 591 00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:21,840 Speaker 1: the Texans, but those regular season games, I think they're 592 00:29:21,880 --> 00:29:24,880 Speaker 1: gonna get plenty of them. Now, those thirteen opponents, we 593 00:29:24,920 --> 00:29:27,000 Speaker 1: talked a little bit about that market I did on 594 00:29:27,080 --> 00:29:30,120 Speaker 1: paper Drew and I for our Wednesday Night draft are 595 00:29:30,120 --> 00:29:34,520 Speaker 1: gonna put together two teams of skill players from those 596 00:29:34,560 --> 00:29:37,920 Speaker 1: thirteen opponents. It's our Wednesday Night drafts. Stick around. It's 597 00:29:37,960 --> 00:29:42,120 Speaker 1: next on Texans Access. Love the alliteration on a what's 598 00:29:42,240 --> 00:29:45,520 Speaker 1: up Wednesday? Welcome in everybody or welcome back, I should 599 00:29:45,640 --> 00:29:50,600 Speaker 1: say welcome Wednesday. Wonderful. I like the literation. I'm John 600 00:29:50,640 --> 00:29:52,600 Speaker 1: Harris alongside Drew Dorry. What's up, Drew. It's a lot 601 00:29:52,600 --> 00:29:55,680 Speaker 1: of alliteration for an anxious anchor. That's very good. It's 602 00:29:55,720 --> 00:30:02,320 Speaker 1: from anchormant. It's not the one was William Hurt and 603 00:30:02,440 --> 00:30:06,160 Speaker 1: Jack Nicholson and oh yeah, okay, I got rubber Brooks. Yeah, 604 00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:09,400 Speaker 1: long time ago, long time wait ahead of its time though. 605 00:30:09,400 --> 00:30:11,400 Speaker 1: But anyways, what do you think of the preseason schedule? 606 00:30:11,800 --> 00:30:13,960 Speaker 1: I like it. Man, We're going to law I love 607 00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:16,200 Speaker 1: going to Los Angeles. I like that. I believe, how 608 00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:17,640 Speaker 1: many times have you been there? Only been there once 609 00:30:17,720 --> 00:30:20,360 Speaker 1: last year? Twice? I went last year when the Texans 610 00:30:20,400 --> 00:30:23,479 Speaker 1: played the Rams, and then I went uh in twenty thirteen. 611 00:30:23,480 --> 00:30:27,000 Speaker 1: I went out to NFL Network Studios and NFL dot 612 00:30:27,040 --> 00:30:29,880 Speaker 1: Com and did some work. So it was fun. I'm 613 00:30:29,960 --> 00:30:31,880 Speaker 1: looking forward that I've not been to Kansas City Stadium. 614 00:30:31,920 --> 00:30:33,600 Speaker 1: I've not been the Arrowhead. I've been to the Arrowhead 615 00:30:33,680 --> 00:30:35,840 Speaker 1: parking lot because I've gone to a Royals game before, 616 00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:38,960 Speaker 1: long time ago. So cal Ripkin there, Hey long had 617 00:30:38,960 --> 00:30:41,719 Speaker 1: his poster on my wall long time ago. Got his 618 00:30:41,840 --> 00:30:44,280 Speaker 1: rookie card in a safe deposit buck somewhere in Houston 619 00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:47,080 Speaker 1: right now. One of my favorite stories a buddy of mine, 620 00:30:47,120 --> 00:30:50,360 Speaker 1: Storm Davis. Yeah, Storm I coached with. I was his 621 00:30:50,680 --> 00:30:53,440 Speaker 1: He was the head coach at the Bowls School where 622 00:30:53,440 --> 00:30:55,680 Speaker 1: Hayden Hurst tight end for South Carolina. He played at 623 00:30:55,680 --> 00:30:58,320 Speaker 1: the Bowls school. Storm was is he step brothers or 624 00:30:58,400 --> 00:31:03,120 Speaker 1: brothers with the big bob step And so Storm was 625 00:31:03,120 --> 00:31:05,440 Speaker 1: the head coach and I was his JV coach. Sweet 626 00:31:05,440 --> 00:31:06,840 Speaker 1: and so I got into a Storm, and so Storm 627 00:31:06,840 --> 00:31:08,480 Speaker 1: told me one of the best stories I'd ever heard. 628 00:31:09,280 --> 00:31:13,120 Speaker 1: He said they were the Orioles's back. Storm got back 629 00:31:13,120 --> 00:31:16,520 Speaker 1: with the Orioles. And Storm would always struggled with the Indians, 630 00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:19,160 Speaker 1: always struggled with him. And so he was slated to 631 00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:23,080 Speaker 1: start against the Indians, and Cal Ripken caught him over 632 00:31:23,080 --> 00:31:25,840 Speaker 1: and said, come here, pulled out a notebook and went 633 00:31:25,880 --> 00:31:28,400 Speaker 1: through every single one of the Indians hitters with him, 634 00:31:28,440 --> 00:31:32,440 Speaker 1: every single one, and then proceeded to call the game 635 00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:35,960 Speaker 1: from shortstop. He would signal the catcher the catcher within 636 00:31:36,040 --> 00:31:38,360 Speaker 1: single Storm. Storm never shook him off because he knew 637 00:31:38,400 --> 00:31:40,600 Speaker 1: was coming from Cal. He ended up throwing like a 638 00:31:40,600 --> 00:31:43,560 Speaker 1: four hit shutout or something like that. But that actually 639 00:31:44,240 --> 00:31:45,880 Speaker 1: he wasn't the only one apparently he did that for 640 00:31:46,080 --> 00:31:48,600 Speaker 1: and that's I think it rubbed some people the wrong 641 00:31:48,640 --> 00:31:51,360 Speaker 1: way that Cal was calling games. Yea, yeah, but that's 642 00:31:51,360 --> 00:31:54,040 Speaker 1: pretty amazing. That's pretty amazing to know the hitters as 643 00:31:54,040 --> 00:31:57,760 Speaker 1: well as he was. He was one of the Well, 644 00:31:57,840 --> 00:31:59,840 Speaker 1: with it being Wednesday, that means it's time for our 645 00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:01,960 Speaker 1: Wednesday and Night draft. Now, you and I did a 646 00:32:02,040 --> 00:32:03,600 Speaker 1: draft for In the Lab. You haven't gotten the End 647 00:32:03,600 --> 00:32:06,320 Speaker 1: the Lab podcast. Go check it out Itune, Stitcher, leave 648 00:32:06,360 --> 00:32:09,840 Speaker 1: us a review. It's fantastic. We did a draft for that. 649 00:32:09,840 --> 00:32:12,640 Speaker 1: That was you might think it's off the wall. It 650 00:32:12,720 --> 00:32:14,760 Speaker 1: is off. What's the whole point of in the Lab? 651 00:32:14,800 --> 00:32:17,120 Speaker 1: That's what we do. We go off the lab. We 652 00:32:17,120 --> 00:32:21,240 Speaker 1: we mix magnesium and boron. See what happens. Yeah, mgbo, 653 00:32:22,320 --> 00:32:24,840 Speaker 1: nig bo or bomb. I don't know, depending on how 654 00:32:24,840 --> 00:32:27,680 Speaker 1: you want to put together Krypton and m Selenium or 655 00:32:27,840 --> 00:32:30,240 Speaker 1: Xenion and Iron, I don't know what if we want 656 00:32:30,280 --> 00:32:33,920 Speaker 1: put together birds, yeah, very much so. So we like 657 00:32:34,040 --> 00:32:36,520 Speaker 1: to use the Wednesday Night draft to Yeah, we go 658 00:32:36,560 --> 00:32:38,120 Speaker 1: off the page right now and again. But since we 659 00:32:38,120 --> 00:32:39,760 Speaker 1: did that with the In the Lab podcast, you're figured, 660 00:32:39,800 --> 00:32:41,480 Speaker 1: you know what, let's kind of get back on track, 661 00:32:41,880 --> 00:32:44,240 Speaker 1: and with the preseason schedule coming out today, they got 662 00:32:44,240 --> 00:32:46,680 Speaker 1: me thinking about future opponents for the Texans, and the 663 00:32:46,760 --> 00:32:49,920 Speaker 1: regular season schedules should be out next week. Don't know 664 00:32:50,200 --> 00:32:52,840 Speaker 1: whether what it's going to be, but it's coming. It's coming. 665 00:32:53,240 --> 00:32:56,160 Speaker 1: My on record is saying, I think it's Wednesday would 666 00:32:56,160 --> 00:32:57,880 Speaker 1: be fun, so we can talk about all that. We 667 00:32:57,880 --> 00:32:59,840 Speaker 1: can't talk about it on Wednesday because they'll unveiled at 668 00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:03,400 Speaker 1: even o'clock, but we'll know it. We'll know it, and 669 00:33:03,600 --> 00:33:05,200 Speaker 1: we won't talk about it. We'll have to keep it 670 00:33:05,240 --> 00:33:08,000 Speaker 1: under wraps. We can talk about on Thursday. That said, 671 00:33:08,040 --> 00:33:09,760 Speaker 1: I got me thinking about the opponents. The Texans have 672 00:33:09,880 --> 00:33:15,160 Speaker 1: thirteen opponents this year. They face at home, they face 673 00:33:15,280 --> 00:33:19,640 Speaker 1: the Cleveland Browns, the Miami Dolphins, the Buffalo Bills, the 674 00:33:19,760 --> 00:33:26,120 Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys, the New York Giants, the Tennessee Titans, Indianapolis Colts, 675 00:33:26,120 --> 00:33:28,600 Speaker 1: and the Jacksonville Jaguars. Those are all at home. On 676 00:33:28,640 --> 00:33:31,880 Speaker 1: the road, they face the Denver Broncos, the New England Patriots, 677 00:33:32,280 --> 00:33:37,080 Speaker 1: the New York Jets, the Phildelphia Eagles, the Tennessee Titans, 678 00:33:37,120 --> 00:33:40,600 Speaker 1: Indianapolis Colts, jackson Jaguars, and the Washington reds Kids. So 679 00:33:40,840 --> 00:33:43,320 Speaker 1: thirteen teams, the Texans will face three of those they 680 00:33:43,320 --> 00:33:46,840 Speaker 1: face twice, as they have since two thousand and two Titans, Colts, Jacks. 681 00:33:48,120 --> 00:33:51,240 Speaker 1: I thought about, why not let's put together the ultimate 682 00:33:51,320 --> 00:33:55,360 Speaker 1: fantasy lineup for the opponents the Texans are gonna face, 683 00:33:55,440 --> 00:33:59,080 Speaker 1: so and keyword they're being fantasy right because it exclude 684 00:33:59,080 --> 00:34:01,760 Speaker 1: we're throwing out off of right for now, I'm gonna 685 00:34:01,800 --> 00:34:03,800 Speaker 1: throw them out. And I started thinking about the offensive 686 00:34:03,840 --> 00:34:06,080 Speaker 1: lineman they face a few, a couple of good left. 687 00:34:06,120 --> 00:34:08,040 Speaker 1: Tyrn Smith is the one that jumps out to me, Yeah, 688 00:34:08,080 --> 00:34:10,399 Speaker 1: Tyron Smith. Trent Williams from the Washington Redskins. I asked 689 00:34:10,440 --> 00:34:13,799 Speaker 1: that question the other day. Jason Kelsey from Philadelphia. Want 690 00:34:13,800 --> 00:34:16,239 Speaker 1: the best centers in the league. So they'll face I 691 00:34:16,280 --> 00:34:19,560 Speaker 1: think some decent offensive linement, and they're gonna face some 692 00:34:19,640 --> 00:34:22,239 Speaker 1: really good skill players. So we figured we would do 693 00:34:22,360 --> 00:34:29,400 Speaker 1: our Wednesday night draft drafting the best Texans opponents offense. 694 00:34:29,680 --> 00:34:31,759 Speaker 1: And in that, you get a quarterback, you get a 695 00:34:31,840 --> 00:34:34,359 Speaker 1: running back, you get two receivers, You get a tight 696 00:34:34,480 --> 00:34:36,319 Speaker 1: end and then a flex right, you could choose a 697 00:34:36,320 --> 00:34:38,960 Speaker 1: tight end. Right, youach a running back. Each is a receiver, right, 698 00:34:39,440 --> 00:34:42,200 Speaker 1: now I mentioned word fantasy, not really going on fantasy points, 699 00:34:42,640 --> 00:34:46,200 Speaker 1: but just what's the best skill lineup of the players. 700 00:34:46,239 --> 00:34:48,920 Speaker 1: And Texans are gonna face yep, that you could come 701 00:34:49,040 --> 00:34:53,000 Speaker 1: up with, so Drew since you are I don't say 702 00:34:53,000 --> 00:34:55,200 Speaker 1: a guest. You never really guess you're at home, but 703 00:34:55,400 --> 00:34:56,920 Speaker 1: I want to be courteous to you. I'm gonna let 704 00:34:56,960 --> 00:34:59,800 Speaker 1: you go first. First. Well, then I want Tom Brady. Okay, quarterback, 705 00:35:00,239 --> 00:35:02,440 Speaker 1: all right, you can have him. You can have him. 706 00:35:02,480 --> 00:35:04,440 Speaker 1: That's pretty simple. It's probably mean. I don't need to 707 00:35:04,560 --> 00:35:06,399 Speaker 1: say much. I mean, I just I want to start 708 00:35:06,400 --> 00:35:08,040 Speaker 1: with a quarterback and then you can only draft one. 709 00:35:08,120 --> 00:35:10,640 Speaker 1: So I won't draft a quarterback until the very end. Cool, 710 00:35:10,800 --> 00:35:13,759 Speaker 1: all right, So I'm good with that. Ye uh yeah. 711 00:35:13,840 --> 00:35:18,160 Speaker 1: Facing Brady again is kind of depressing, but it is 712 00:35:18,160 --> 00:35:21,320 Speaker 1: what it is. I mean, he's beatable. He is definitely beatable. 713 00:35:21,600 --> 00:35:25,160 Speaker 1: The Texans almost did it, the Eagles did it. He's beatable. 714 00:35:26,040 --> 00:35:29,359 Speaker 1: Doesn't mean it's easy, but he is beat he will bleed. 715 00:35:31,120 --> 00:35:34,319 Speaker 1: We think it's never blood against the tech. I took 716 00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:40,040 Speaker 1: quarterback Tom Brady off the board. Who are you taking? Okay, Um, well, 717 00:35:40,040 --> 00:35:42,239 Speaker 1: I'm gonna right to and I we're gonna snake this, right, 718 00:35:42,239 --> 00:35:45,920 Speaker 1: so I get two fine, Yeah, okay, we'll snake this. 719 00:35:46,680 --> 00:35:50,680 Speaker 1: I'm gonna take two guys that actually are rumored to 720 00:35:50,760 --> 00:35:53,720 Speaker 1: maybe not even be playing with their protect their respective teams. 721 00:35:54,160 --> 00:35:56,480 Speaker 1: But I think they're the most dynamic at their position 722 00:35:56,560 --> 00:35:58,520 Speaker 1: in the league. So I'm gonna go at tight end. 723 00:35:58,560 --> 00:36:01,480 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go Gronk because I also think when you 724 00:36:01,520 --> 00:36:03,600 Speaker 1: look at the tight ends of Texas are facing, it 725 00:36:03,840 --> 00:36:10,040 Speaker 1: is not a it's not a All American top five list. 726 00:36:10,520 --> 00:36:13,319 Speaker 1: So I'm taking Gronk, and then at wide receiver, I'm 727 00:36:13,360 --> 00:36:18,319 Speaker 1: gonna take Odell dang it, Beckham Junior. See, that's why 728 00:36:18,320 --> 00:36:20,280 Speaker 1: I feel good about the quarterbacks. They're still on the board. 729 00:36:20,560 --> 00:36:22,920 Speaker 1: I don't know how how I don't know how I 730 00:36:22,960 --> 00:36:25,840 Speaker 1: feel about the tight ends on the rest on the 731 00:36:25,840 --> 00:36:27,440 Speaker 1: rest of the board. We'll go into all this at 732 00:36:27,440 --> 00:36:30,480 Speaker 1: the end, but I'm taking Gronck and Obj. You now 733 00:36:30,520 --> 00:36:33,719 Speaker 1: take two picks Drew Leonard Fournette because I trust him 734 00:36:33,719 --> 00:36:35,920 Speaker 1: more than the other running back that I think you're 735 00:36:35,920 --> 00:36:40,440 Speaker 1: gonna take. Okay, just trust him more, Okay, And I 736 00:36:40,480 --> 00:36:45,200 Speaker 1: guess I'll go with Josh Gordon every So I've got 737 00:36:45,440 --> 00:36:52,680 Speaker 1: Brady Fournette Josh Gordon. Okay, so wait a second. You 738 00:36:52,680 --> 00:36:55,440 Speaker 1: said you were gonna go at Fournette because you trusted 739 00:36:55,520 --> 00:36:58,440 Speaker 1: him more, but didn't You're gonna go clean everything up? 740 00:36:58,440 --> 00:37:01,279 Speaker 1: All right? I think he's he's about to bust loose. 741 00:37:01,320 --> 00:37:03,160 Speaker 1: I had Gordon down as the guy I was gonna 742 00:37:03,160 --> 00:37:06,400 Speaker 1: take two, so I'm right there with you. Uh okay, 743 00:37:06,440 --> 00:37:08,600 Speaker 1: So it snakes back to me. So now I have two, 744 00:37:08,640 --> 00:37:12,360 Speaker 1: so I have my two running. Wait sorry, well he 745 00:37:12,360 --> 00:37:16,000 Speaker 1: could take two running be a flex. So all right, 746 00:37:17,160 --> 00:37:19,879 Speaker 1: so that's what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna put I'm 747 00:37:19,920 --> 00:37:22,359 Speaker 1: gonna put Ezekiel Elliott as my running back. And it's 748 00:37:22,360 --> 00:37:24,600 Speaker 1: funny I did not have Ezekie Elliott. It's named written 749 00:37:24,640 --> 00:37:27,359 Speaker 1: down for some stupid reason until you said, I don't 750 00:37:27,360 --> 00:37:29,080 Speaker 1: know if you're gonna be able to trust this guy, 751 00:37:28,680 --> 00:37:30,959 Speaker 1: and I'm oh Elliott because I don't. I don't trust 752 00:37:31,000 --> 00:37:33,200 Speaker 1: this guy a long term. But anyway, I know somebody 753 00:37:33,200 --> 00:37:36,640 Speaker 1: I do trust and I hate facing him. Take Shady 754 00:37:36,719 --> 00:37:41,080 Speaker 1: McCoy as my flex, so I now have it running back, 755 00:37:41,120 --> 00:37:44,600 Speaker 1: Ezekiel Elliott, wide receiver, OBJ whatever back from Junior. My 756 00:37:44,640 --> 00:37:48,839 Speaker 1: tight end is Grock. My flex is Leshawn McCoy. I 757 00:37:48,880 --> 00:37:51,680 Speaker 1: need a quarterback and a wide receiver. With my last 758 00:37:51,680 --> 00:37:55,879 Speaker 1: two picks, you have you are now I I'm picking. 759 00:37:56,000 --> 00:37:58,680 Speaker 1: I'm finishing up. I just need a wide receiver. You 760 00:37:58,719 --> 00:38:03,040 Speaker 1: need a wide receiver and end A well, I need 761 00:38:03,040 --> 00:38:05,719 Speaker 1: two more. Note, I need a flex to wait. Yeah, 762 00:38:05,840 --> 00:38:07,960 Speaker 1: wait a second, what of the receiver did you get? 763 00:38:08,080 --> 00:38:10,959 Speaker 1: I took Gordon. I've taken Brady for Nett and Gordon, 764 00:38:11,080 --> 00:38:13,759 Speaker 1: so I need to take um another receiver, a tight 765 00:38:13,840 --> 00:38:16,480 Speaker 1: end and flex. Okay, yeah, you have three left. Okay, 766 00:38:17,800 --> 00:38:24,040 Speaker 1: I guess I'll guess. I'll go with I know you 767 00:38:24,040 --> 00:38:27,000 Speaker 1: should take a tight end. He plays in Philadelphia. Let's 768 00:38:27,040 --> 00:38:28,439 Speaker 1: just I know that I know, but I can save 769 00:38:28,560 --> 00:38:30,880 Speaker 1: him for later. You can because I won't take a 770 00:38:30,880 --> 00:38:34,240 Speaker 1: p you can't take a tight end, and you've already 771 00:38:34,280 --> 00:38:36,040 Speaker 1: used your flex, so you can save zach Ertz for 772 00:38:36,040 --> 00:38:38,120 Speaker 1: the end if you'd like. I guess i'll go with 773 00:38:38,520 --> 00:38:43,960 Speaker 1: um t Y Hilton beat you deep, okay, and then 774 00:38:44,040 --> 00:38:48,279 Speaker 1: flex because he's good slot guy. Oh man, but I 775 00:38:48,280 --> 00:38:51,400 Speaker 1: don't know if it was. I guess I'll go with 776 00:38:51,480 --> 00:38:54,640 Speaker 1: Jarvis Landry. Oh, that's a good one. Yeah, that was 777 00:38:54,680 --> 00:38:56,880 Speaker 1: the second name. I had written down all right to you. 778 00:38:56,920 --> 00:38:58,440 Speaker 1: With your last pick, I have to take a tight 779 00:38:58,560 --> 00:39:00,080 Speaker 1: end and I know, yeah, you know, and you know 780 00:39:00,160 --> 00:39:02,439 Speaker 1: who that's gonna be. That's that's more than likely gonna 781 00:39:02,480 --> 00:39:06,240 Speaker 1: be David and Joeku Cleveland Browns. I have two picks. 782 00:39:06,719 --> 00:39:13,000 Speaker 1: I have a wide receiver huh and quarterback and I'll 783 00:39:13,000 --> 00:39:15,840 Speaker 1: say quarterback for the end wider. This is this is 784 00:39:15,840 --> 00:39:18,960 Speaker 1: why doing this exercise to me was really really interesting, 785 00:39:19,560 --> 00:39:22,680 Speaker 1: because as you start looking at these names, you're like, well, 786 00:39:22,680 --> 00:39:25,160 Speaker 1: those names are pretty you know, those are some pretty 787 00:39:25,200 --> 00:39:28,239 Speaker 1: impressive names. But but if you look you don't statistics. 788 00:39:28,280 --> 00:39:30,000 Speaker 1: If you look at the stats from last year, some 789 00:39:30,040 --> 00:39:32,120 Speaker 1: of these guys don't pop up. Gordon don't pop up. 790 00:39:32,160 --> 00:39:33,920 Speaker 1: Oh do Beckham Dune pop up? Because they didn't you know, 791 00:39:34,239 --> 00:39:36,479 Speaker 1: Leonard for Nette is not like one of the rushing leaders. 792 00:39:36,480 --> 00:39:39,799 Speaker 1: But anyways, rather have him. Yeah, I agree with you. 793 00:39:40,040 --> 00:39:42,800 Speaker 1: I think I do think it's gonna be tough facing 794 00:39:42,840 --> 00:39:45,000 Speaker 1: these guys. But when I started making my quarterback list, 795 00:39:45,560 --> 00:39:50,760 Speaker 1: I went I went Brady Carson wentz. And then I went, Okay, 796 00:39:50,840 --> 00:39:54,239 Speaker 1: well who next? And then I started looking at and 797 00:39:54,560 --> 00:39:57,120 Speaker 1: I was like, alexmisk next, one block would be on 798 00:39:57,160 --> 00:39:58,880 Speaker 1: the list. I guess, but yeah, no, I don't know. 799 00:39:59,160 --> 00:40:01,360 Speaker 1: But do you know if he's gonna be healthy? My 800 00:40:01,480 --> 00:40:04,719 Speaker 1: point in all that is, okay, this defense has an 801 00:40:04,719 --> 00:40:06,680 Speaker 1: opportunity to get back on the back on the bump 802 00:40:06,719 --> 00:40:08,920 Speaker 1: here if you will let me. Let's let's finish and 803 00:40:08,960 --> 00:40:11,640 Speaker 1: then we could talk about it. Wide receiver. So you 804 00:40:11,680 --> 00:40:15,800 Speaker 1: took t Y Hilton, You're taking Landry YouTube Jack Gordon. 805 00:40:15,880 --> 00:40:20,239 Speaker 1: I have Odell Beckham junior, So I am going to 806 00:40:20,280 --> 00:40:23,560 Speaker 1: take you know what, let's go, wide receiver, Alshon Jeffrey. Yeah, 807 00:40:23,600 --> 00:40:26,759 Speaker 1: that's who I was, Landry or Jeffrey. So, and then 808 00:40:26,760 --> 00:40:30,359 Speaker 1: I'll take Carson Wentz and so I am. I am 809 00:40:30,440 --> 00:40:34,239 Speaker 1: done my team. Carson Wentz quarterback, running back Ezekiel Elliott, 810 00:40:34,239 --> 00:40:37,640 Speaker 1: wide receiver, Odell Beckham Junior, wide receiver Alshon Jeffrey, tight 811 00:40:37,760 --> 00:40:43,280 Speaker 1: end Gronk. My flex is Shady McCoy Drew. I'm assuming 812 00:40:43,320 --> 00:40:46,279 Speaker 1: you're taking zach Ertz. Yep, zach Ertz will be my 813 00:40:46,320 --> 00:40:48,719 Speaker 1: tight end. So that means I have Tom Brady quarterback 814 00:40:49,160 --> 00:40:52,839 Speaker 1: Leonard for Nette behind him running the rock my receiver corps. 815 00:40:52,880 --> 00:40:54,920 Speaker 1: I like, I use my flex on receiver, so I 816 00:40:54,960 --> 00:40:58,640 Speaker 1: have Josh Gordon kind of an all around guy. T 817 00:40:58,880 --> 00:41:01,239 Speaker 1: Y Hilton can get deep into some things. Ye got 818 00:41:01,320 --> 00:41:04,480 Speaker 1: Landry and good slack guy and then tight end his ertz. 819 00:41:05,000 --> 00:41:09,239 Speaker 1: When you think about these skilled players, I think, and 820 00:41:09,320 --> 00:41:12,279 Speaker 1: we've done similar exercises in the past as we sort 821 00:41:12,280 --> 00:41:14,760 Speaker 1: of look at the opponents for the Texans, I feel 822 00:41:14,800 --> 00:41:18,640 Speaker 1: like that list has been much more daunting in the 823 00:41:18,680 --> 00:41:22,680 Speaker 1: past when we've done this, certainly at the quarterback position. Yes, 824 00:41:22,719 --> 00:41:25,040 Speaker 1: and you're talking are you talking about skill though, Yeah, 825 00:41:25,040 --> 00:41:26,840 Speaker 1: I'm just talking across the more, but you're right quarterback 826 00:41:26,840 --> 00:41:29,359 Speaker 1: in particular really last year too. I mean that just 827 00:41:29,760 --> 00:41:32,960 Speaker 1: leaps out at me in introspect. Now, how good the 828 00:41:33,080 --> 00:41:37,280 Speaker 1: quarterbacks the Texans face last year? Ben Roethlisberger, Russell Wilson, 829 00:41:37,360 --> 00:41:41,840 Speaker 1: Tom Brady a golf Garoppolo I think deserves you know, 830 00:41:41,960 --> 00:41:43,879 Speaker 1: the way he played well. If you were to rank 831 00:41:43,960 --> 00:41:46,960 Speaker 1: the quarterbacks and you said one through thirty two starting 832 00:41:47,040 --> 00:41:51,520 Speaker 1: quarterbacks throughout the league, with those four guys we just mentioned, 833 00:41:51,760 --> 00:41:56,080 Speaker 1: you're probably talking top top twelve going into this year, 834 00:41:56,400 --> 00:41:58,200 Speaker 1: I think a lot of people would think Garoppolo is 835 00:41:58,360 --> 00:42:01,040 Speaker 1: is in that mix. But now, on paper, here's who 836 00:42:01,080 --> 00:42:04,120 Speaker 1: you would face at quarterback for the rest for this 837 00:42:04,280 --> 00:42:09,440 Speaker 1: crew Cleveland, Tyrod, Taylor, Denver, Case, Keenum, Brady obviously, Ryan Tannehill, Miami, 838 00:42:10,280 --> 00:42:16,400 Speaker 1: Josh McCown, Jets, AJ mccaren, Buffalo, Dak Prescott, Eli Manning, 839 00:42:16,760 --> 00:42:21,120 Speaker 1: Carson Wentz, Mariota, Luck, Bortles, and Alex Smith. It's not 840 00:42:21,680 --> 00:42:24,320 Speaker 1: it's not a triple a schedule of quarterbacks, but it 841 00:42:24,440 --> 00:42:27,200 Speaker 1: certainly isn't like the one you faced last year or 842 00:42:27,200 --> 00:42:30,880 Speaker 1: the year before when you faced in succession, you faced Car, 843 00:42:31,360 --> 00:42:34,360 Speaker 1: then you faced Rivers, then you faced Rogers, then you 844 00:42:34,440 --> 00:42:37,720 Speaker 1: faced Luck. Yeah, and that was just those four weeks. 845 00:42:37,840 --> 00:42:39,840 Speaker 1: Not to mention, well, you were supposed to face Brady, 846 00:42:39,880 --> 00:42:42,560 Speaker 1: but you faced Jacobe Brissette early on, so and you 847 00:42:42,600 --> 00:42:45,439 Speaker 1: faced Alex Smith along the way, and you faced Ox 848 00:42:45,440 --> 00:42:49,360 Speaker 1: Smith last year too. So I feel like quarterback wonderfully 849 00:42:49,360 --> 00:42:53,319 Speaker 1: against you last year, quarterback wise, Brady Wentz. Those are 850 00:42:53,320 --> 00:42:54,920 Speaker 1: the first two, but then after that you probably looked 851 00:42:55,000 --> 00:42:57,840 Speaker 1: AFC South and say Luck, Mariota, I said Smith. I 852 00:42:57,840 --> 00:43:00,880 Speaker 1: would have gone Smoutch's a third, but yeah, luckily he 853 00:43:00,880 --> 00:43:03,399 Speaker 1: didn't have to. But yeah, I think you can make 854 00:43:03,400 --> 00:43:08,440 Speaker 1: that argument about luck, if luck, if Luck is fully healthy, 855 00:43:08,520 --> 00:43:10,280 Speaker 1: well it's luck all the way I take him above 856 00:43:10,400 --> 00:43:12,279 Speaker 1: Alex Smith. Would you have taken Luck in front of 857 00:43:12,280 --> 00:43:15,560 Speaker 1: Carson Wentz and Luck is fully healthy? No, I wouldn't either. 858 00:43:15,680 --> 00:43:17,520 Speaker 1: I would take Carson Wentz and I would put Luck 859 00:43:17,800 --> 00:43:22,640 Speaker 1: because I think Flint MVP calorie yea Luck if Luck 860 00:43:22,640 --> 00:43:24,839 Speaker 1: could get back to I mean twenty fourteen Andrew Luck 861 00:43:24,880 --> 00:43:28,000 Speaker 1: was sure, he was absolutely ridiculous. But I think that 862 00:43:28,040 --> 00:43:30,239 Speaker 1: Carson Wentz showed if he's fully and that's the key. 863 00:43:30,280 --> 00:43:32,600 Speaker 1: If he's fully healthy, well it's either gonna be Winter 864 00:43:32,719 --> 00:43:34,920 Speaker 1: Nick Foles and I mean you're gonna I mean, he 865 00:43:35,000 --> 00:43:37,480 Speaker 1: knows that offense as well as anybody Fules is not 866 00:43:37,560 --> 00:43:39,880 Speaker 1: Chop Liver. Yeah, there's no question about that. Drew.
