Speaker 1: It's finally here. Ser faster, stronger. It's time to put

2
00:00:03,680 --> 00:00:11,799
Speaker 1: on the pads. Faster, quicker, more agile, and make some noise. Wow,

00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:56,560
Speaker 1: as there's a scrimmage tomorrow night. Camp is I hate

14
00:00:56,560 --> 00:00:59,640
Speaker 1: to use the term winding down or it's officially broken,

15
00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:01,800
Speaker 1: but the image is kind of the camp capper if

16
00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:04,399
Speaker 1: you will tomorrow night. So we'll do our last show

17
00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:08,160
Speaker 1: tomorrow eight to ten am and then we'll be live

18
00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:11,360
Speaker 1: from the scrimmage from six to seven pm tomorrow and

19
00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:13,679
Speaker 1: then we'll get into more of an extended game week mode.

20
00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:16,399
Speaker 1: It'll be a two week game week mode as the

21
00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:19,679
Speaker 1: Texans getting ready to take on the Chiefs two weeks

22
00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:22,080
Speaker 1: from tomorrow. And night, good morning, how are you, my friend.

23
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:26,319
Speaker 1: I'm doing very well. It's you know, we've done this

24
00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:29,600
Speaker 1: show out at the stadium together, so you and I

25
00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:33,080
Speaker 1: can see each other. And yeah, today we know, uh well,

26
00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:35,640
Speaker 1: it's not technically a day off of the players. They've

27
00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:37,960
Speaker 1: got things going on, but it's a non media day,

28
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:41,400
Speaker 1: so we will have some zoom interviews later in the

29
00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:43,240
Speaker 1: death that gets a coordinator day, so we'll hear from

30
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:46,160
Speaker 1: I believe, both Tim Kelly and the Anthony Weaver. I believe.

31
00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:49,400
Speaker 1: But it's so strange to be in the Ditch and

32
00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:52,720
Speaker 1: you're not here. So yeah, that's that's odd, and that's

33
00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:55,200
Speaker 1: gonna take some that's gonna take some getting used to.

34
00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:57,640
Speaker 1: But I think you and I'll figure it out. Yeah,

35
00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:01,920
Speaker 1: we'll figure it out. The day Texans Radio Studio also

36
00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:05,960
Speaker 1: known as the Ditch, and I'm elsewhere. I'm at an

37
00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:10,120
Speaker 1: undisclosed location doing the program today. So that's great, And

38
00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:12,640
Speaker 1: I hope everybody finds a way to stay safe, because

39
00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:14,160
Speaker 1: I know a lot of people are thinking whoa. It's

40
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:16,640
Speaker 1: not gonna be that bad in Houston, I guess, and

41
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:19,520
Speaker 1: west of town especially, But there are a lot of

42
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:22,040
Speaker 1: people in our listening area who are greatly affected by

43
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:25,880
Speaker 1: what's coming with Laura destined apparently to be a Category

44
00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:28,799
Speaker 1: four I read this morning, So praying for everybody, and

45
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:31,560
Speaker 1: let's let's hope for the very best here. My gosh,

46
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:34,560
Speaker 1: we need a break, and our friends in the western

47
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:39,000
Speaker 1: part of Louisiana, eastern eastern part of Texas hang in there, please,

48
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:41,560
Speaker 1: all right, So, Johnny, we promised we'd kick off the

49
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:43,960
Speaker 1: show with one Lonnie Johnson. I want to talk defense

50
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:47,240
Speaker 1: here because Seth was just talking about it. And by

51
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:49,799
Speaker 1: the way, those guys ended the show with Take five

52
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:53,920
Speaker 1: by Dave Brubeck. Okay, damn, And I couldn't believe they

53
00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:55,720
Speaker 1: ended the show that way. Is that their new way

54
00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:58,520
Speaker 1: of doing it? Take five by Dave Brubeck. I mean

55
00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:02,840
Speaker 1: that's probably today. That's probably the first time that song

56
00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:05,920
Speaker 1: has been heard on this radio station since the sixties,

57
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:09,440
Speaker 1: maybe even the fifties. I mean, I'm serious. This is

58
00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:11,799
Speaker 1: an old time radio station in Houston and used to

59
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:14,079
Speaker 1: play music all the time, back when AM stations did

60
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:17,280
Speaker 1: do such things, but obviously don't anymore. For the most part,

61
00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:20,440
Speaker 1: all right, Lonnie Johnson, for the most part, a corner.

62
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:22,720
Speaker 1: But we talked about it last night. He's a dB,

63
00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:27,680
Speaker 1: He's a corner. He loves playing football, And I started

64
00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:30,760
Speaker 1: off this interview talking about his love for practice because

65
00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:32,880
Speaker 1: he always seems to be pumped up out there, having

66
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:35,520
Speaker 1: a good time and making the most of the opportunity.

67
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:40,280
Speaker 1: I just love football. I always loved it. Any chance

68
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:42,080
Speaker 1: I get to come out here and play as a blessing,

69
00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:44,720
Speaker 1: so I'll take advantage of it every time I'm out

70
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:47,880
Speaker 1: there in the field. Now, what about your fellow dbs,

71
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:51,240
Speaker 1: Because I've always thought it's the tightest position group on

72
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:54,120
Speaker 1: the team with the offensive line. You guys are always

73
00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:56,320
Speaker 1: so tight. And the group has flipped a little bit

74
00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:58,840
Speaker 1: since last year during last year and a couple of

75
00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:01,080
Speaker 1: new guys brought in during the off season. What's that

76
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:03,560
Speaker 1: room like? What is the group like for you? We

77
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:06,160
Speaker 1: just got a lot of energy and swagger this year. Um,

78
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:10,840
Speaker 1: you know, we we collective lead, like, just challenge each

79
00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:13,000
Speaker 1: other in the room this year to see who can

80
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:14,960
Speaker 1: get the most picks in camp this year. You know,

81
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:17,360
Speaker 1: we just challenging each other to be the best and

82
00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:19,359
Speaker 1: you and you do that and then shows out on

83
00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:24,000
Speaker 1: the field. How does your background junior college Kentucky help

84
00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:26,479
Speaker 1: you here being so versatile? I mean, you played wide

85
00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:28,880
Speaker 1: receiver I think a little bit junior college as well.

86
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:31,599
Speaker 1: So how has all of that helped you be versatile

87
00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:34,719
Speaker 1: here as a prop um? I mean just trying to

88
00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:39,400
Speaker 1: know what's what's coming from a receiver standpoint, and knowing

89
00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:44,480
Speaker 1: like from within splits from what the quarterback looking at. Um,

90
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:48,880
Speaker 1: so just translating that over to my cornerback position, you know,

91
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:50,960
Speaker 1: just knowing where my help is on the field, knowing

92
00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:54,200
Speaker 1: where it's like it's how close to squeeze to the sideline,

93
00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:56,159
Speaker 1: all type of stuff. So I'm still learning the position

94
00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:58,760
Speaker 1: as I go. You know, It's just I don't know.

95
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:00,640
Speaker 1: I think I'm gonna take a big step. I just

96
00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:02,560
Speaker 1: want to do whatever I can to help us win.

97
00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:06,840
Speaker 1: Your rookie year, you had preseason games and joint practice

98
00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:09,200
Speaker 1: and all of that, and now it's just you're going

99
00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:12,120
Speaker 1: up against the offense every day. I mean, you want

100
00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:14,040
Speaker 1: them to do well in the games, but you're competitive

101
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:16,200
Speaker 1: against them out there a practice. What's that likely to

102
00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:19,640
Speaker 1: get your own teammates every day need decide, has no

103
00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:21,880
Speaker 1: time to waste. We don't have no time to waste.

104
00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:24,400
Speaker 1: I think we probably win eighteen games. I mean eighteen

105
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:27,440
Speaker 1: days from the first game, So we don't have no

106
00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:30,560
Speaker 1: time to win. No preseason games, no joint practices, none

107
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:32,480
Speaker 1: of that. We got to compete with each other to

108
00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:34,279
Speaker 1: go out there and be ready for the first game.

109
00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:37,680
Speaker 1: How tough is it to also practice on special teams

110
00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:40,000
Speaker 1: because you've made some big players on special teams, so

111
00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:43,760
Speaker 1: that dynamic and being ready to play defense, both of

112
00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:46,919
Speaker 1: those phases of the game. I learned to care about

113
00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:49,520
Speaker 1: special teams just the way I care about defense. You know,

114
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:51,880
Speaker 1: I gotta go out there and do whatever to help

115
00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:53,800
Speaker 1: us win. So if I make a tackle inside the

116
00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:56,800
Speaker 1: fifteam and then go right in on defense and it

117
00:05:56,920 --> 00:06:00,800
Speaker 1: helped us, you know, shorten to field up a little bit. Lonnie,

118
00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:03,000
Speaker 1: thanks so much for joining us. Best of luck this year. Yes,

119
00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:07,040
Speaker 1: certain thing, all right, Lonnie Johnson joining us on the program,

120
00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:09,640
Speaker 1: and Johnny, I think I'm gonna have a big year.

121
00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:11,880
Speaker 1: I think I'm gonna take a big step forward. I'm

122
00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:14,400
Speaker 1: paraphrasing here, but that's really good to hear out of

123
00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:17,560
Speaker 1: Lonnie who. You know, we do talk about him. It's

124
00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:20,240
Speaker 1: not like he's the forgotten man or anything, but you

125
00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:22,960
Speaker 1: get a we don't really talk about him much in

126
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:24,640
Speaker 1: that year one to year or two, and he could

127
00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:27,360
Speaker 1: be a real big time difference maker for the secondary

128
00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:30,800
Speaker 1: and they need these kinds of things to happen if

129
00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:32,839
Speaker 1: they're gonna have the kind of year they wont I

130
00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:35,000
Speaker 1: mean they. I'll give you some of the rankings in

131
00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:37,560
Speaker 1: just a moment, and some of them are alarming when

132
00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:40,120
Speaker 1: you look at where they were last year as a secondary,

133
00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:42,760
Speaker 1: as a past defense in general, not just a secondary.

134
00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:45,600
Speaker 1: Can't pin it all on that, but you really need

135
00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:48,920
Speaker 1: Lonnie to make that big step forward, and it looks

136
00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:51,920
Speaker 1: like he's up for it. Yeah, you know, I think

137
00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:53,800
Speaker 1: you're right. I think Lonnie plays a big role in that.

138
00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:58,200
Speaker 1: And at some point, you know, I was sitting off

139
00:06:58,200 --> 00:06:59,880
Speaker 1: to the side listening that interview, both with you and

140
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:04,360
Speaker 1: also with the with the Houston media, and somebody asked

141
00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:10,400
Speaker 1: him a question about playing cornerback specifically, and he said,

142
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:15,840
Speaker 1: I'm a defensive back. And he's shown throughout his career,

143
00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:18,720
Speaker 1: which is short, Yeah, last year and then on earlier

144
00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:21,360
Speaker 1: and this year that he's got the ability to play

145
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:23,720
Speaker 1: a number of different spots back there. He's got the heck,

146
00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:25,240
Speaker 1: he's got the size to be a linebacker if you

147
00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:29,320
Speaker 1: wanted him to. But the thing about Lonnie that I

148
00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:32,720
Speaker 1: learned last year just about him. You know, rookies come

149
00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:35,720
Speaker 1: in and they get they get playing time, and they

150
00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:39,080
Speaker 1: start to you know, make an impact, and they have

151
00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:42,640
Speaker 1: opportunities and they do they do well with those opportunities,

152
00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:45,440
Speaker 1: not exceedingly well would they do well. But then some

153
00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:47,400
Speaker 1: other guys come back from being hurt and then they

154
00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:50,040
Speaker 1: get not as many opportunities. And I think there were

155
00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:52,920
Speaker 1: times last year where that happened to Lonnie where maybe

156
00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:54,760
Speaker 1: struggled in the game and then the guys are coming

157
00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:57,840
Speaker 1: back off injury and so they were inserted. So Lonnie

158
00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:00,240
Speaker 1: was just getting time on special teams. And it's really

159
00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:01,920
Speaker 1: easy for a rookie at that point to kind of

160
00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:03,840
Speaker 1: you know, put his you know, his tail between his

161
00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:06,440
Speaker 1: legs and just go, oh, yeah, I'm not getting time

162
00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:08,760
Speaker 1: on defense. This, you know, this sucks. I'm gonna pout.

163
00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:12,240
Speaker 1: So when he went on special teams, I'm not gonna

164
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:15,080
Speaker 1: say that expected that, but I do think there were

165
00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:18,040
Speaker 1: they were opportunities for him to just kind of pout whatever.

166
00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:20,800
Speaker 1: He went on special teams and did whatever he could

167
00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:23,040
Speaker 1: to impact this team, and I thought that was a

168
00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:26,240
Speaker 1: really good sign for a rookie that came in with

169
00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:29,000
Speaker 1: a lot of expectation being a second round pick, had

170
00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:32,880
Speaker 1: a little bit of success, then struggled and then went

171
00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:36,480
Speaker 1: to the bench. Essentially, he never got down on himself,

172
00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:38,720
Speaker 1: especially when it got came to special teams. He went

173
00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:40,880
Speaker 1: on on special teams and did some really great things,

174
00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:42,920
Speaker 1: and then he earned some of that playing time back

175
00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:45,160
Speaker 1: as the year war on, and I just thought that

176
00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:49,000
Speaker 1: was a really good sign for a guy that has

177
00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:52,600
Speaker 1: all the tools to be effective in this league. But

178
00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:54,720
Speaker 1: as a rookie, it's really hard. That's I mean, playing

179
00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:57,600
Speaker 1: defensive back in the NFL now is hard, especially when

180
00:08:57,640 --> 00:09:00,800
Speaker 1: you're facing Drew Brees in the first game, Patrick Mahomes

181
00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:03,839
Speaker 1: twice a year. It can be a hard game to master,

182
00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:05,679
Speaker 1: and I think Lonnie probably learned a little bit that.

183
00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:07,679
Speaker 1: But he never got down on himself, and I will

184
00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:10,560
Speaker 1: give him the utmost credit for that that he kept

185
00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:14,840
Speaker 1: plugging away at defense at the same time knowing that

186
00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:17,200
Speaker 1: he still could impact the game on special teams, and

187
00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:18,839
Speaker 1: he took a lot of pride in that, and I

188
00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:22,000
Speaker 1: really appreciated that about Lonnie last year in particular. All right,

189
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:25,120
Speaker 1: now we've seen some water under the bridge and practice here,

190
00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:28,080
Speaker 1: and I'm really grateful because we talked about people being

191
00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:30,719
Speaker 1: separated by these tears and everything and how you're in

192
00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:32,600
Speaker 1: tier two and I'm not. And we did that for

193
00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:34,440
Speaker 1: a variety of reasons, and I don't want to get

194
00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:36,719
Speaker 1: into all of them again here, but I've been able

195
00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:39,640
Speaker 1: to watch a lot of practice. I was concerned they

196
00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:43,480
Speaker 1: would be inside an awful lot because that was that

197
00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:46,160
Speaker 1: was the early rumor that they might be inside a bunch,

198
00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:47,719
Speaker 1: and I think they felt that way too, But then

199
00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:49,959
Speaker 1: they thought, let's get outside, Let's get all the fields,

200
00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:53,000
Speaker 1: let's get on the grass, you know, the heat be damned.

201
00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:56,760
Speaker 1: And what I've noticed is, yeah, he's playing that outside

202
00:09:56,800 --> 00:09:59,320
Speaker 1: corner spot a lot. I think they can move them around.

203
00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:03,200
Speaker 1: That's why he wants that dB identity as opposed to

204
00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:06,160
Speaker 1: just being a corner or whatever. But what do you

205
00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:09,600
Speaker 1: see because you thought preseason, pre camp season, you know,

206
00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:12,960
Speaker 1: maybe safety, maybe he gravitates that way, and maybe he

207
00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:14,800
Speaker 1: still does in his career, But what do you see

208
00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:18,840
Speaker 1: it right now? From the safety's and Lonnie's ability perhaps

209
00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:23,960
Speaker 1: potential to adjust and move over inside from time to time. Yeah,

210
00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:26,280
Speaker 1: I think that's always going to be there. I mean,

211
00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:29,240
Speaker 1: as long as he doesn't go on you know, soda

212
00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:32,400
Speaker 1: weight loss diet and drop thirty pounds for some reason.

213
00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:34,600
Speaker 1: I think that's always going to be there. Because he's

214
00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:37,480
Speaker 1: six two, he's a legit two fifteen. I mean, he's

215
00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:40,160
Speaker 1: bigger than any safety we got. He's almost bigger than

216
00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:42,200
Speaker 1: some of our linebackers. When he stands next to Zach,

217
00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:46,400
Speaker 1: you're like, okay, almost the same guy in some sense.

218
00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:48,720
Speaker 1: Now he's lighter in Zach, of course, but I do

219
00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:51,319
Speaker 1: think there's a possibility of that. And you know, when

220
00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:54,880
Speaker 1: you go into a football game, you know, each you'd

221
00:10:54,960 --> 00:11:00,000
Speaker 1: like to have different chess pieces that you can utilize

222
00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:03,320
Speaker 1: in your factor. You know, guys that you can move around.

223
00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:06,000
Speaker 1: And obviously in defense, JJ Watt is the biggest chess

224
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:08,600
Speaker 1: piece and the most important chess piece this team. This

225
00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:12,240
Speaker 1: team has left defensive end. You can move inside defensive

226
00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:14,800
Speaker 1: tackle on a four man rush. He can you know,

227
00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:16,440
Speaker 1: a line up in the rights. I mean, there are

228
00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:19,480
Speaker 1: so many different things that JJ can do and where

229
00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:23,839
Speaker 1: you move him, well, then dictate to the defense. I'm

230
00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:26,360
Speaker 1: sorry to the opposing offense how they're gonna block. So

231
00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:29,199
Speaker 1: if JJ is on the left side, expect that team

232
00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:31,440
Speaker 1: to slide protect to the right and you'll get some

233
00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:33,400
Speaker 1: one on one matchups. On the other side, you can

234
00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:36,080
Speaker 1: force them into things because you've got a chess piece

235
00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:39,040
Speaker 1: like JJ moving them around and changing things. And then

236
00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:42,160
Speaker 1: after the ball snap where he rushes from is he

237
00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:45,760
Speaker 1: looping back inside? Is he just giving it a traditional

238
00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:48,320
Speaker 1: edge rush. Is he gonna work a stunt game with

239
00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:50,079
Speaker 1: one of the defensive line. There's so many different things

240
00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:52,680
Speaker 1: that you can do with JJ. Well with Lonnie, I

241
00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:58,040
Speaker 1: think not as obviously accomplished at this point as JJ,

242
00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:00,440
Speaker 1: and I would love Lonnie Johnson to get to that

243
00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:02,400
Speaker 1: point one day. That would be kind of nice. But

244
00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:06,120
Speaker 1: I think you have the same possibility. You can move

245
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:07,920
Speaker 1: him around, you can do some different things, and a

246
00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:10,640
Speaker 1: guy like Bradley Roby I think helps in that with

247
00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:14,320
Speaker 1: your matchups because Rope can go inside on a smaller

248
00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:18,040
Speaker 1: slot guy. But if a team tries to isolate inside

249
00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:21,280
Speaker 1: with a bigger receiver or a tight end, Lannie can

250
00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:24,200
Speaker 1: then go inside. So you just have these different things

251
00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:25,800
Speaker 1: that you can do. I think the other aspect to

252
00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:28,800
Speaker 1: that mark is I as much as I liked Eric

253
00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:31,640
Speaker 1: Murray come out of college, and I did think that

254
00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:34,880
Speaker 1: a nickel slash safety position was probably best for him,

255
00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:37,640
Speaker 1: I didn't really know what to expect to seeing him

256
00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:40,520
Speaker 1: in full time, But watching Eric Murray work out here

257
00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:43,319
Speaker 1: and look, practice is practice. I know it's not facing

258
00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:46,640
Speaker 1: the chiefs of the Ravens, etc. But just the way

259
00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:49,800
Speaker 1: that Eric Murray moves in comparison to other safeties that

260
00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:52,120
Speaker 1: have been back. I remember watching Deshan Gibson last year

261
00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:55,360
Speaker 1: going and Deshan just looks like it's kind of laboring

262
00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:57,760
Speaker 1: a little bit. I don't see that with Murray. I

263
00:12:57,800 --> 00:13:00,480
Speaker 1: see quick breaks on the ball. I see kind of

264
00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:02,559
Speaker 1: a ball magnet. And that's the way he was when

265
00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:04,840
Speaker 1: I watched him in college, and I think he's gonna

266
00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:07,679
Speaker 1: end up doing a pretty solid job back there at safety.

267
00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:10,320
Speaker 1: So quickness, that's Those are the two things that I

268
00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:13,160
Speaker 1: kind of take out of you know why Lonnie may

269
00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:15,640
Speaker 1: not jump right to safety, if that makes sense. But

270
00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:17,480
Speaker 1: down the road, I think there are a lot of

271
00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:20,360
Speaker 1: players Jalen Mills is making that transition now from the Eagles.

272
00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:22,880
Speaker 1: Yo Kareem made it a little later in his career

273
00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:25,360
Speaker 1: and probably would have done it earlier we didn't have

274
00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:27,440
Speaker 1: kind of guys banged up that corner. I think he

275
00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:29,160
Speaker 1: definitely would have done it earlier in his career. I

276
00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:31,360
Speaker 1: think the staff wanted to do that. So I think

277
00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:35,359
Speaker 1: it's a natural thing for guys that are are good tacklers,

278
00:13:35,520 --> 00:13:39,160
Speaker 1: physical and can move, they go back to safety and

279
00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:41,440
Speaker 1: there's no problem with that, and the elongates a guy's career.

280
00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:43,280
Speaker 1: So we see that. I think down the road that

281
00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:46,080
Speaker 1: could happen. You know, it's funny because I heard Sean

282
00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:49,920
Speaker 1: talking about no Jonathan Joseph out there. That's that's a

283
00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:54,680
Speaker 1: topic that really hasn't been delved into a ton this

284
00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:57,360
Speaker 1: offseason and everything, and as he get into the preseason,

285
00:13:57,400 --> 00:13:59,000
Speaker 1: but he brought it up and how being at practice

286
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:01,200
Speaker 1: he don't see j Joe there. It is kind of weird.

287
00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:03,080
Speaker 1: You see a number twenty four, but it's Kron Higden.

288
00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:05,079
Speaker 1: That just freaks me out. That's just one of those

289
00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:07,360
Speaker 1: freaky numbers. And I'm still gonna use to Duke Johnson

290
00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:09,720
Speaker 1: a twenty five, which was Chorea's number, But it's just

291
00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:12,640
Speaker 1: one of those number situations. But no Jjo I still

292
00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:14,920
Speaker 1: look at this group as a tight group, though there's

293
00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:17,200
Speaker 1: no question you can see the camaraderie. I think Justin

294
00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:19,320
Speaker 1: Reid has a whole lot to do with that. He's

295
00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:23,680
Speaker 1: only in year three, but it feels longer in terms

296
00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:28,080
Speaker 1: of his gravitas, the way he is with his teammates

297
00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:30,920
Speaker 1: out there, and Roby seems relaxed. You went through that

298
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:34,440
Speaker 1: the other day with me about how Robie you know,

299
00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:37,640
Speaker 1: there's just something about one year contract versus yeah, I'm

300
00:14:37,640 --> 00:14:40,120
Speaker 1: here for a while now, I'm good. This is my home.

301
00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:41,920
Speaker 1: So I like that. Johnny, let me throw some of

302
00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:44,160
Speaker 1: these rankings at you from last year. I look, last

303
00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:46,680
Speaker 1: year is not this year, but these things have to improve.

304
00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:50,480
Speaker 1: Yards per game allowed twenty eighth in the league, yards

305
00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:54,680
Speaker 1: per play thirty first in the league. And you know,

306
00:14:54,760 --> 00:14:58,640
Speaker 1: passing the rush, there's no like glimmering, you know, gleaming

307
00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:01,400
Speaker 1: example of oh they were really good against the run

308
00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:04,880
Speaker 1: and not so good. No, they had statistically some issues,

309
00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:07,160
Speaker 1: but I'm gonna give you the point totals down the

310
00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:12,280
Speaker 1: stretch in some really big games, they stepped up right. Look,

311
00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:14,360
Speaker 1: they got drilled by Baltimore. We all know that. Four

312
00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:16,680
Speaker 1: days later they hold the Colts to seventeen, and he

313
00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:19,760
Speaker 1: gotta have a game at NRG Stadium in the division

314
00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:22,320
Speaker 1: and get it. The next week, they hold the Patriots

315
00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:24,520
Speaker 1: to twenty two, and there were some backdoor points in

316
00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:27,400
Speaker 1: that game. That was a really good defensive performance against

317
00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:29,560
Speaker 1: Tom Brady and the New England Patriots on a Sunday night.

318
00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:33,320
Speaker 1: Then the Denver aberration shall we call it because it

319
00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:38,120
Speaker 1: was black Bart you know, I don't mean you know,

320
00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:39,960
Speaker 1: because like as I give you the next two, you're

321
00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:42,120
Speaker 1: gonna say, well, what was the Denver game doing in there?

322
00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:44,000
Speaker 1: How did that happen? Because then they go on the

323
00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:46,200
Speaker 1: road to the Titans and they keep Derrick Henry in

324
00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:48,200
Speaker 1: check and hold them to twenty one. And I know

325
00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:50,680
Speaker 1: some of you are thinking about twenty one. Vandermir Listen,

326
00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:53,000
Speaker 1: you hold an opponents to twenty or below, you're doing

327
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:56,240
Speaker 1: your job. They won that game twenty four twenty one, hallelujah,

328
00:15:56,400 --> 00:15:59,560
Speaker 1: all right, And the defense actually gave them near point

329
00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:02,320
Speaker 1: blank field position for a score with that read pop

330
00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:05,640
Speaker 1: in Whitney return. And then the next week, all those turnovers,

331
00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:07,200
Speaker 1: they hold the Bucks to twenty and that was a

332
00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:09,040
Speaker 1: Bucks team that had won four in a row. So

333
00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:11,480
Speaker 1: I think that when you look at four out of

334
00:16:11,520 --> 00:16:15,200
Speaker 1: five games following the drilling by Baltimore, you had good

335
00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:18,840
Speaker 1: defensive performances in some very key games. This is the

336
00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:23,560
Speaker 1: Bill O'Brien pass Thanksgiving stuff where you absolutely have to

337
00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:25,640
Speaker 1: play your best football coming down the stretch of the

338
00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:28,040
Speaker 1: regular season, and then the Buffalo game they hold them

339
00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:31,680
Speaker 1: to nineteen overall and are able to win it. I

340
00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:34,880
Speaker 1: just think that there were some positives there. But when

341
00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:37,480
Speaker 1: I look at the season long rankings, you know they're

342
00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:39,080
Speaker 1: looking at these numbers too, like, how do we get

343
00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:41,520
Speaker 1: better at third dawn percentage? We are thirty first in

344
00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:45,480
Speaker 1: the league and allowing third downs red zone percentage last

345
00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:48,080
Speaker 1: in the league once the opponent gets into the red zone.

346
00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:51,200
Speaker 1: They were last in the league defensively. So clearly they

347
00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:53,720
Speaker 1: were looking for ways to improve that this offseason, and

348
00:16:53,760 --> 00:16:56,000
Speaker 1: we're not going to know until we see it unfold.

349
00:16:56,040 --> 00:16:57,880
Speaker 1: And look, the first couple of games might not even

350
00:16:57,880 --> 00:17:00,280
Speaker 1: tell the whole story, and probably won't because you're amazing

351
00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:02,520
Speaker 1: two of the very best teams in the league. But

352
00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:05,200
Speaker 1: if it does tell a much more positive story, you're

353
00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:09,360
Speaker 1: off to a great start. Yeah. I always had had

354
00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:14,560
Speaker 1: a buddy of mine said that statistics were for I

355
00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:19,680
Speaker 1: can't emberybody said therefore something fantasy geeks, losers and assistant

356
00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:22,240
Speaker 1: coaches or something like that. I don't know. He probably

357
00:17:22,280 --> 00:17:23,840
Speaker 1: said it was a little bit more flavor than I

358
00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:27,200
Speaker 1: just said it with. But sometimes it doesn't doesn't tell

359
00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:29,920
Speaker 1: the whole story. But I think what was what was

360
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:33,480
Speaker 1: difficult for people after that the Denver game in particular,

361
00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:38,000
Speaker 1: was anybody sort of nationally to say, okay, yeah, that

362
00:17:38,119 --> 00:17:41,480
Speaker 1: was a one game aberration because a few weeks prior

363
00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:44,800
Speaker 1: to that, we go up to Baltimore, a Lamar Jackson

364
00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:49,040
Speaker 1: does what he you know, had done to everybody that

365
00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:52,480
Speaker 1: particular season from game three on. So it kind of

366
00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:55,360
Speaker 1: was like a head scratcher, like, all right, well, which one?

367
00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:58,439
Speaker 1: And then of course when things go south in Kansas

368
00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:01,480
Speaker 1: City in the in the division no playoff round, everybody's like,

369
00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:06,200
Speaker 1: well they start, you know, you start connecting the dots Baltimore, Denver,

370
00:18:06,560 --> 00:18:09,520
Speaker 1: Kansas City, like yeah, okay, they had some games mixed

371
00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:11,640
Speaker 1: in there where they did, and people didn't even look

372
00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:13,720
Speaker 1: at that. They just looked at those three games. They

373
00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:16,000
Speaker 1: looked at the final stats and went, well, put two

374
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:19,160
Speaker 1: and two together. I think this defense did do some

375
00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:22,919
Speaker 1: good things at times. Last year, I think they did

376
00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:24,720
Speaker 1: some very good things. You talk about the Tennessee game,

377
00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:27,120
Speaker 1: it was basically fourteen points for the majority of the game,

378
00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:30,160
Speaker 1: and they got one drive where the defense was just

379
00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:32,560
Speaker 1: trying to keep them out of the end zone in

380
00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:35,320
Speaker 1: a certain amount of time. That's all they were trying

381
00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:37,520
Speaker 1: to do. They weren't really They're basically playing kind of

382
00:18:37,520 --> 00:18:40,200
Speaker 1: a prevent prevent sort of thing. So they really didn't

383
00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:44,359
Speaker 1: have that much. They gave up sixteen in regulation, I

384
00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:46,640
Speaker 1: guess nineteen in regulation to the Buffalo Bills, and really,

385
00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:49,199
Speaker 1: once JJ got into the game against the Bills, they

386
00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:52,159
Speaker 1: didn't The Bills didn't really do anything in the second

387
00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:55,600
Speaker 1: half in particular, And if you look at the Chiefs game,

388
00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:58,520
Speaker 1: the twenty eight points that they had in the first

389
00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:02,040
Speaker 1: half of that golf twenty eight came on short fields

390
00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:05,399
Speaker 1: early on. But what had happened was the fire got stoked,

391
00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:07,960
Speaker 1: and then the second half Pat just got on a roll.

392
00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:11,280
Speaker 1: And I think some things broke down up front with

393
00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:13,159
Speaker 1: allowing Pat to get out of the pocket. I mean,

394
00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:15,919
Speaker 1: go watch the third Oh no, wait, don't don't just

395
00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:22,120
Speaker 1: take that, No, don't it's watch it's a good family film. Yes,

396
00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:25,919
Speaker 1: I did that for you. I took the pain of

397
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:29,800
Speaker 1: that and watched it again for all of you. I

398
00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:33,680
Speaker 1: mean I I sacrificed a good afternoon with oh my god,

399
00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:37,479
Speaker 1: we're watching. But in that third quarter, in particular, they

400
00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:39,879
Speaker 1: were going, yeah, they were going right to left on

401
00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:42,920
Speaker 1: TV or left to right on my side, the chief

402
00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:45,320
Speaker 1: Mahomes got out of the pocket mark. I don't know

403
00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:48,080
Speaker 1: how many times what we mean? That was a killer.

404
00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:49,920
Speaker 1: It was a killer. I mean, that was just a killer.

405
00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:52,160
Speaker 1: Not to bring up my mom used to say, it's

406
00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:54,600
Speaker 1: an old Dutch saying and apparently in English it just

407
00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:57,399
Speaker 1: sounds way worse. But don't don't dig up dead cows

408
00:19:57,440 --> 00:19:59,520
Speaker 1: from the bottom of the canal or something like that.

409
00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:03,240
Speaker 1: And I'm like, what, I always remember that one though,

410
00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:06,600
Speaker 1: But to exhume the cow here Johnny and I don't

411
00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:08,439
Speaker 1: even know how that's relevant. Why did the cows end

412
00:20:08,520 --> 00:20:10,159
Speaker 1: up at the bottom of the canal in Holland? I

413
00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:12,160
Speaker 1: don't know, but she said in Dutch it it kind

414
00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:15,879
Speaker 1: of rhymes or whatever. It sounds much better. But that game.

415
00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:18,920
Speaker 1: I was actually watching that game about a month ago

416
00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:22,520
Speaker 1: because they replay everything, and you know, they're a classic game.

417
00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:25,399
Speaker 1: I'm like, not so much for me. But there was

418
00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:27,520
Speaker 1: a stretch of the second half of the Texan score

419
00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:29,160
Speaker 1: and they cut it to ten, and you're thinking, okay,

420
00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:31,919
Speaker 1: let's go make a stop score again and then now

421
00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:34,080
Speaker 1: your score down and wailah, right, you have a shot

422
00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:37,120
Speaker 1: with Shaun Watson. But after that score, the Chiefs went bang,

423
00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:39,960
Speaker 1: bang bang. They scored in like a two minute situation

424
00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:42,680
Speaker 1: and it wasn't a two minute situation. They just went

425
00:20:42,760 --> 00:20:46,640
Speaker 1: hurry up. And that was those kinds of things. I mean,

426
00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:50,119
Speaker 1: you cannot have that happen obviously on opening night, and

427
00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:54,119
Speaker 1: that's why the uncertainty of it all, the unscripted nature

428
00:20:54,160 --> 00:20:56,920
Speaker 1: of it all. I mean, I'm already feeling that tension

429
00:20:57,359 --> 00:20:59,680
Speaker 1: two weeks from tomorrow night of what it's going to

430
00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:02,520
Speaker 1: go down at Arrowhead Stadium. Oh and by the way,

431
00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:06,080
Speaker 1: you know, I've been wondering about league noise and league

432
00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:09,800
Speaker 1: mandates as far as noise goes. Pro Football Talk had

433
00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:11,919
Speaker 1: a story because you know, you're going into Arrowhead Stadium,

434
00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:14,520
Speaker 1: which they brag as the loudest stadium is dev as

435
00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:16,960
Speaker 1: at Seattle, is at the Saints, is at NRG. Look,

436
00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:21,320
Speaker 1: I don't know, but the league is considering fake crowd

437
00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:23,840
Speaker 1: noise in the range of seventy to eighty five decibels.

438
00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:26,840
Speaker 1: That's not a ton okay. I mean, you're definitely gonna

439
00:21:26,840 --> 00:21:32,560
Speaker 1: notice that, but it's not like arrowhead at full throat sore. Now,

440
00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:35,680
Speaker 1: you will have some fans there and it's still uncertain

441
00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:39,640
Speaker 1: as to what you're allowed to supplement the fifteen thousand

442
00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:42,040
Speaker 1: fans with. And I think that's where the danger is

443
00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:45,119
Speaker 1: because fifteen thousand still makes a ton of noise, believe me,

444
00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:48,600
Speaker 1: all like screaming, trust me. And I mentioned this before.

445
00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:50,400
Speaker 1: We've been in the black Hole where there are very

446
00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:53,080
Speaker 1: few fans there and they still make a ton of noise.

447
00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:55,080
Speaker 1: You know, the chiefs are gonna be really into it

448
00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:59,119
Speaker 1: so that the out effects the offense obviously more than

449
00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:01,440
Speaker 1: the defense. It's not gonna affect the defense, but apparently

450
00:22:01,480 --> 00:22:03,280
Speaker 1: this fake crowd noise is gonna be going on whether

451
00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:05,840
Speaker 1: you're on offense or defense. So it could be a

452
00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:09,480
Speaker 1: consideration when you're in your own building trying to operate

453
00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:11,960
Speaker 1: your offense, you know what I mean. I mean, it's

454
00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:15,520
Speaker 1: if it's gonna it's gonna be a different it's gonna

455
00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:18,160
Speaker 1: be it's gonna be interesting to see how it plays out.

456
00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:21,080
Speaker 1: But look, we couldn't have started in a louder environment

457
00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:24,159
Speaker 1: last year than in New Orleans. Yeah, you're right side,

458
00:22:24,280 --> 00:22:26,320
Speaker 1: and you're you know, you think about your offensive line.

459
00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:29,480
Speaker 1: Laramie just got there. Sneil was not scheduled to start,

460
00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:31,720
Speaker 1: but he did because Titus was hurt. You got Kenny

461
00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:34,200
Speaker 1: Stills going in the game. He just got here, so

462
00:22:34,359 --> 00:22:36,560
Speaker 1: and you had to try and communicate all night long,

463
00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:39,040
Speaker 1: and you should have won that football game and you

464
00:22:39,080 --> 00:22:41,360
Speaker 1: scored twenty eight points in the process, I believe. So

465
00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:44,240
Speaker 1: from that perspective, you can handle that on night one.

466
00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:47,600
Speaker 1: You're gonna be able to handle whatever decibel level, all

467
00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:50,000
Speaker 1: that kind of stuff. And you know that place, you know, Arrowhead,

468
00:22:50,040 --> 00:22:51,960
Speaker 1: it's the last place we played all that kind of stuff.

469
00:22:52,119 --> 00:22:55,560
Speaker 1: So it's it'll be more intriguing to me than I

470
00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:58,560
Speaker 1: feel like, oh that's an advantage for the home. Like

471
00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:00,240
Speaker 1: I don't know that I'll feel that way, but I

472
00:23:00,520 --> 00:23:02,280
Speaker 1: want to see how it plays out and what it

473
00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:04,720
Speaker 1: does sound like being in that building. So we'll see.

474
00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:06,439
Speaker 1: But I think this team will be ready and rare

475
00:23:06,560 --> 00:23:09,280
Speaker 1: to go for that opener obviously. Yeah, Jack made that point.

476
00:23:09,400 --> 00:23:11,520
Speaker 1: Jack Easter be made that point with us yesterday. How

477
00:23:11,840 --> 00:23:13,879
Speaker 1: this is kind of a blessing a disguise. I mean,

478
00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:16,360
Speaker 1: and you know me, he didn't say this, but I'm

479
00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:18,800
Speaker 1: saying this. I like to rip off the band aid.

480
00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:21,560
Speaker 1: You got a really tough one, started off early. See

481
00:23:21,560 --> 00:23:24,159
Speaker 1: what happens? You know, take your shot. You know this

482
00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:26,160
Speaker 1: is a big band aid. We're ripping off the first

483
00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:28,800
Speaker 1: three weeks, my friend, and you know that for four weeks,

484
00:23:28,840 --> 00:23:31,399
Speaker 1: five weeks. I mean, come on, this is our degree

485
00:23:31,480 --> 00:23:35,880
Speaker 1: burn repair band aid. All right. John McClain, the General,

Speaker 1: joins us. Next. What's he's thinking about the scrimmage tomorrow night?

487
00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:42,000
Speaker 1: What about the Texans? What about any moves they might

488
00:23:42,119 --> 00:23:45,600
Speaker 1: make following cutdown Day? They were pretty busy last year,

489
00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:48,439
Speaker 1: probably not so busy this year, but you never know.

490

Speaker 1: that he does for the Sports Radio six ten listening audience.

586
00:29:57,400 --> 00:29:59,840
Speaker 1: And I wanted to get your thoughts on the Holly wearing. Yes,

587
00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:03,000
Speaker 1: as we've talked about, this tight end grew plenty and

588
00:30:03,080 --> 00:30:07,120
Speaker 1: it looks very deep right now. And it's hard for

589
00:30:07,160 --> 00:30:09,840
Speaker 1: me to think of a situation where the top four

590
00:30:09,960 --> 00:30:12,280
Speaker 1: don't all make the fifty three. But what are your

591
00:30:12,320 --> 00:30:16,480
Speaker 1: thoughts right now? Whearing he had missed a couple of practices,

592
00:30:16,600 --> 00:30:19,600
Speaker 1: he got off to a slow start in this week,

593
00:30:19,720 --> 00:30:24,160
Speaker 1: specifically the last two days, he's been outstanding. You guys

594
00:30:24,160 --> 00:30:27,880
Speaker 1: have seen it him making leaping catches with players all

595
00:30:27,920 --> 00:30:30,640
Speaker 1: over him, whether it's on the sideline, whether it's in

596
00:30:30,680 --> 00:30:33,960
Speaker 1: the end zone. That's what we saw from him last year,

597
00:30:34,480 --> 00:30:38,480
Speaker 1: especially when they were going against Green Bay in joint

598
00:30:38,520 --> 00:30:43,360
Speaker 1: practices before their preseason game. He looked really good. Then

599
00:30:43,360 --> 00:30:45,800
Speaker 1: he got to concussion. They put him on arm could

600
00:30:45,800 --> 00:30:48,120
Speaker 1: have brought him back, chose to make it a learning

601
00:30:48,120 --> 00:30:51,440
Speaker 1: experience for a guy who didn't play football growing up

602
00:30:51,440 --> 00:30:53,960
Speaker 1: as much as a lot of players because he played

603
00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:57,120
Speaker 1: so many different sports. But when it comes to pure

604
00:30:57,160 --> 00:31:01,400
Speaker 1: athleticism and the things he can do running rounds, hands,

605
00:31:01,960 --> 00:31:07,280
Speaker 1: using his body to shield, and the guy looks tremendous. Now,

606
00:31:07,320 --> 00:31:09,560
Speaker 1: if you keep for I'm not going to dispute you

607
00:31:10,200 --> 00:31:12,720
Speaker 1: on tight ends like I did last year when you

608
00:31:12,920 --> 00:31:15,840
Speaker 1: assured me Darren Fails would make it and I didn't

609
00:31:15,880 --> 00:31:18,920
Speaker 1: think he would. It's gonna be tough to keep four

610
00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:23,440
Speaker 1: tight ends on the roster. And Wearing on He's on

611
00:31:23,520 --> 00:31:27,600
Speaker 1: special team, so they backups got to contribute there. I

612
00:31:27,640 --> 00:31:31,400
Speaker 1: don't know if maybe they'll trade one. Usually injuries play

613
00:31:31,440 --> 00:31:34,320
Speaker 1: into it. I don't think they could cut Wearing and

614
00:31:34,360 --> 00:31:37,880
Speaker 1: put him on the practice squad. I think somebody would

615
00:31:37,920 --> 00:31:41,280
Speaker 1: claim him that had him rated highly going into last

616
00:31:41,360 --> 00:31:44,680
Speaker 1: year's draft, like the Texans did, so maybe they will

617
00:31:44,760 --> 00:31:49,320
Speaker 1: keep for It has been the biggest surprise of any

618
00:31:49,400 --> 00:31:53,880
Speaker 1: position in camp that it starts with Jordan Thomas and Wearing,

619
00:31:53,920 --> 00:31:56,800
Speaker 1: because we didn't know what Wearing was gonna do coming

620
00:31:56,800 --> 00:32:01,600
Speaker 1: off a season of inactivity. John going into training camp,

621
00:32:01,640 --> 00:32:03,520
Speaker 1: I'm sure we had thoughts in our mind of what

622
00:32:03,560 --> 00:32:07,080
Speaker 1: we were going to see. And then after nine practices

623
00:32:07,200 --> 00:32:08,640
Speaker 1: yesterday being the last one that we were going to

624
00:32:08,640 --> 00:32:12,440
Speaker 1: see infolded in the scrimmage on Thursday, we've we've seen

625
00:32:12,440 --> 00:32:16,360
Speaker 1: it all. So what surprised you in a positive way?

626
00:32:16,800 --> 00:32:20,680
Speaker 1: What surprised you in maybe a negative way that needs

627
00:32:20,720 --> 00:32:25,240
Speaker 1: work well. Positive way would be the tight ends. We

628
00:32:25,360 --> 00:32:28,720
Speaker 1: just mentioned the offensive line. When I talked to Bill

629
00:32:28,760 --> 00:32:32,280
Speaker 1: O'Brien every day after practice, he almost always brings up

630
00:32:32,320 --> 00:32:36,240
Speaker 1: the starting offensive line, and in fact, I'm working on

631
00:32:36,320 --> 00:32:39,800
Speaker 1: my takeaways for Texas Sports Nation, and I'm doing another

632
00:32:39,840 --> 00:32:45,560
Speaker 1: thing on the offensive line. And in recent seasons, people

633
00:32:45,560 --> 00:32:49,800
Speaker 1: would ask the most questions about the offensive line, and

634
00:32:49,960 --> 00:32:53,240
Speaker 1: now I haven't gotten a question about the offensive line,

635
00:32:53,640 --> 00:32:57,280
Speaker 1: and that's good because they've got stability there. The only

636
00:32:57,320 --> 00:33:00,360
Speaker 1: thing we've seen different is when they've tried Max Rping

637
00:33:00,760 --> 00:33:03,520
Speaker 1: at center because they want him to get snaps there,

638
00:33:03,880 --> 00:33:06,680
Speaker 1: and then they put Snel Calamette at left guard. But

639
00:33:06,720 --> 00:33:11,120
Speaker 1: as Bill Brian said yesterday the day before yesterday, Sharping

640
00:33:11,280 --> 00:33:13,640
Speaker 1: is the left guard, but he can play all the positions,

641
00:33:13,640 --> 00:33:16,120
Speaker 1: and they want to use this time to get him

642
00:33:16,160 --> 00:33:19,959
Speaker 1: some snaps behind Nick Martin and so in case they

643
00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:22,560
Speaker 1: need to do that. So the line is not a

644
00:33:22,680 --> 00:33:26,960
Speaker 1: surprise considering the fiber coming back. But I think that

645
00:33:27,360 --> 00:33:30,520
Speaker 1: I expect, and I'm guessing you guys do too, the

646
00:33:30,600 --> 00:33:33,760
Speaker 1: line to jump up in the top half of the NFL.

647
00:33:34,400 --> 00:33:38,480
Speaker 1: You know, they've gone from being the worst to last

648
00:33:38,560 --> 00:33:41,960
Speaker 1: year being in the twenties at low twenties. I think

649
00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:44,480
Speaker 1: now we'll see him in the top sixteen and maybe better,

650
00:33:44,880 --> 00:33:48,680
Speaker 1: depending on the injury situation and the position. The thing

651
00:33:48,880 --> 00:33:51,800
Speaker 1: we can't see a pass rush, you know, they're not

652
00:33:51,960 --> 00:33:55,080
Speaker 1: they can't get after the quarterback like they will, so

653
00:33:55,160 --> 00:33:58,080
Speaker 1: to me, you know, in fact, I'm writing this right

654
00:33:58,080 --> 00:34:03,040
Speaker 1: now in passing situation stations, JJ Watt, Charles A. Menne Who,

655
00:34:03,520 --> 00:34:08,680
Speaker 1: Ross Blacklock, and Jacob Martin with Whitney Merciless lining up

656
00:34:08,680 --> 00:34:12,319
Speaker 1: outside either side or in the middle to rush up

657
00:34:12,360 --> 00:34:16,759
Speaker 1: the middle to drop into coverage. That's five guys, and

658
00:34:16,840 --> 00:34:20,680
Speaker 1: then have JJ and Whitney are established. Black Clock is

659
00:34:20,680 --> 00:34:23,799
Speaker 1: a rookie, he's off, you know, he's behind, because all

660
00:34:23,880 --> 00:34:27,560
Speaker 1: rookies are behind. And then and so what they need

661
00:34:27,680 --> 00:34:30,520
Speaker 1: or Martin and a mine Who in their second seasons

662
00:34:30,520 --> 00:34:33,439
Speaker 1: with the Texans, to take a big jump to make

663
00:34:33,520 --> 00:34:37,319
Speaker 1: that a strong pass rush, which of course would help

664
00:34:37,320 --> 00:34:41,279
Speaker 1: the secondary john wide receivers. I don't know if you've

665
00:34:41,280 --> 00:34:43,919
Speaker 1: filled out your fifty three bracket yet. It's not really

666
00:34:43,920 --> 00:34:46,440
Speaker 1: a bracket, but you're fifty three yet. But what are

667
00:34:46,440 --> 00:34:48,480
Speaker 1: you thinking right now as far as who's going to

668
00:34:48,560 --> 00:34:52,799
Speaker 1: be there the top four and DeAndre Carter and anybody else,

669
00:34:52,920 --> 00:34:55,319
Speaker 1: or do they hold it to five, keep the four

670
00:34:55,400 --> 00:34:56,960
Speaker 1: tight ends and go from there. What are your thoughts

671
00:34:57,000 --> 00:34:58,799
Speaker 1: on how that might shake down as you look at

672
00:34:58,800 --> 00:35:02,520
Speaker 1: the final wide receiver spot well, DeAndre Carter is obviously

673
00:35:02,600 --> 00:35:05,760
Speaker 1: there because he's there every day. You know, tik Qt

674
00:35:05,920 --> 00:35:08,839
Speaker 1: gets hurt all the time. Carter's the return guy and

675
00:35:08,960 --> 00:35:11,840
Speaker 1: he's small, but he's tough and he's been very fortunate

676
00:35:12,480 --> 00:35:15,400
Speaker 1: not to get hurt, where QT has been the opposite.

677
00:35:15,440 --> 00:35:19,680
Speaker 1: And so it's a matter of who can you put

678
00:35:19,760 --> 00:35:22,000
Speaker 1: on a practice squad this year? And you say, well,

679
00:35:22,040 --> 00:35:25,319
Speaker 1: other teams might be after this guy that guy if

680
00:35:25,360 --> 00:35:27,239
Speaker 1: they cut him to go on the practice squad. But

681
00:35:27,320 --> 00:35:30,839
Speaker 1: everybody's got a huge practice squad and they want their

682
00:35:31,440 --> 00:35:34,480
Speaker 1: guys on it, just like the Texans will want mostly

683
00:35:34,520 --> 00:35:37,080
Speaker 1: their guys on it. So it depends on who you

684
00:35:37,080 --> 00:35:39,400
Speaker 1: could put. I don't think, as I said earlier, you

685
00:35:39,400 --> 00:35:43,120
Speaker 1: could put Wearing on the practice squad. Could you put QT?

686
00:35:43,320 --> 00:35:46,000
Speaker 1: Who would be the team to sign him? Indianapolis? He

687
00:35:46,040 --> 00:35:49,480
Speaker 1: had two hundred yard games against them as a rookie.

688
00:35:49,640 --> 00:35:52,919
Speaker 1: So Qt's got to get healthy this year. The our

689
00:35:53,080 --> 00:35:56,000
Speaker 1: rules have changed. You know, you give be out certain times,

690
00:35:56,000 --> 00:35:59,200
Speaker 1: but then you can be brought back. So I'm thinking

691
00:35:59,239 --> 00:36:02,600
Speaker 1: they're going to keep six. Isaiah Coulter. You know he's

692
00:36:02,680 --> 00:36:06,080
Speaker 1: hurt right now. He's ticketed for the practice squad because

693
00:36:06,120 --> 00:36:09,440
Speaker 1: he's so far behind level of competition in college at

694
00:36:09,520 --> 00:36:12,880
Speaker 1: Rhode Island did not having the benefit of offseason program.

695
00:36:13,239 --> 00:36:16,040
Speaker 1: But standing around, he looks good. You know, when he's

696
00:36:16,040 --> 00:36:18,400
Speaker 1: been in drills, he looked good because he's got great

697
00:36:18,440 --> 00:36:21,520
Speaker 1: size and he's fast. He looks like a sprinter. I

698
00:36:21,600 --> 00:36:24,759
Speaker 1: was watching him the last two days in shorts. He

699
00:36:24,920 --> 00:36:28,880
Speaker 1: just looks like a sprinter. So there's gonna be huge

700
00:36:28,920 --> 00:36:32,480
Speaker 1: practice squads, and I'm really interested in what Bill O'Brien

701
00:36:32,560 --> 00:36:36,160
Speaker 1: and Jackie Easterby are gonna do loading loading up the

702
00:36:36,200 --> 00:36:41,319
Speaker 1: practice squad with rookies and veterans. Yeah, Isaiah Culter can

703
00:36:41,360 --> 00:36:44,680
Speaker 1: play people. Just so you know, he can absolutely play.

704
00:36:44,680 --> 00:36:47,000
Speaker 1: There's no doubt. And he's got he's got a different

705
00:36:47,200 --> 00:36:49,719
Speaker 1: level of speed for a guy that size, and we've

706
00:36:49,719 --> 00:36:53,320
Speaker 1: seen it a few times in practice. John's onto something.

707
00:36:53,400 --> 00:36:56,319
Speaker 1: John the running back position, we know Duke, we know David.

708
00:36:57,080 --> 00:37:01,520
Speaker 1: After that, it feels I don't want to say murky,

709
00:37:01,560 --> 00:37:04,360
Speaker 1: but it feels like somedays Crown Higgens is the number

710
00:37:04,400 --> 00:37:06,960
Speaker 1: three back. He feels like, buddy, how's the number three back?

711
00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:08,640
Speaker 1: How do you look at the running back position? After

712
00:37:08,680 --> 00:37:12,239
Speaker 1: those first two Johnson's well O'Brien said two days ago,

713
00:37:12,400 --> 00:37:16,480
Speaker 1: How's got inside track because he's a great special teams player.

714
00:37:17,120 --> 00:37:20,400
Speaker 1: Last year, the Taiwan Jones was a great special teams player,

715
00:37:20,440 --> 00:37:23,160
Speaker 1: and he also was a good receiver. You know, his

716
00:37:23,239 --> 00:37:26,320
Speaker 1: contribution throughout history is going to be that short pass

717
00:37:26,360 --> 00:37:29,640
Speaker 1: he turned into a thirty four yard game after Sean

718
00:37:29,760 --> 00:37:32,919
Speaker 1: Watson got sandwiched by the two pass rushers to set

719
00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:35,840
Speaker 1: up the winning field goal in overtime to beat Buffalo.

720
00:37:36,480 --> 00:37:39,200
Speaker 1: But Jones left now because they don't need a receiver

721
00:37:39,320 --> 00:37:42,080
Speaker 1: as the third back because the first two Johnson's are

722
00:37:42,120 --> 00:37:46,200
Speaker 1: great receivers, So that third back is gonna be Buddy

723
00:37:46,239 --> 00:37:48,720
Speaker 1: how the Key has how many backs that Keith Higgins's

724
00:37:48,760 --> 00:37:51,759
Speaker 1: got to be a really good special teams player. That

725
00:37:51,880 --> 00:37:56,560
Speaker 1: fourth guy, Scottie Phillips undrafted free agent figures into but

726
00:37:57,320 --> 00:37:59,600
Speaker 1: they got to play special teams and how is by

727
00:37:59,640 --> 00:38:04,000
Speaker 1: far the best special team in that group. John mcclin

728
00:38:04,160 --> 00:38:07,279
Speaker 1: joining us from the Houston Chronicle. John I asked John

729
00:38:07,320 --> 00:38:12,399
Speaker 1: Harris this question yesterday about the AFC North and where

730
00:38:12,440 --> 00:38:16,319
Speaker 1: you expect Pittsburgh to end up, and what about the

731
00:38:16,440 --> 00:38:20,799
Speaker 1: NFC North and the Vikings and who's better the Vikings

732
00:38:20,880 --> 00:38:24,680
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh or whoever you have picked to finish second in

733
00:38:24,719 --> 00:38:27,680
Speaker 1: the AFC South, Can you shed some light on that

734
00:38:27,760 --> 00:38:31,120
Speaker 1: for us? I believe that Pittsburgh will be back in

735
00:38:31,200 --> 00:38:34,319
Speaker 1: the playoffs and will seriously contend with Baltimore for the

736
00:38:34,360 --> 00:38:38,600
Speaker 1: division title. How Mike Tomlin got that team to be

737
00:38:38,800 --> 00:38:42,440
Speaker 1: eight and eight with the guys he had at quarterback

738
00:38:42,520 --> 00:38:45,239
Speaker 1: and he had injuries at running back and they was

739
00:38:45,640 --> 00:38:48,640
Speaker 1: that man have been Mike Tomlin's best coaching job. And

740
00:38:48,760 --> 00:38:51,520
Speaker 1: now Big Ben's back, He's well rested. He wants to

741
00:38:51,520 --> 00:38:54,560
Speaker 1: show people at thirty eight he can still play. So

742
00:38:54,640 --> 00:38:57,040
Speaker 1: if they can finish eighth and eight without him, they

743
00:38:57,080 --> 00:38:59,040
Speaker 1: ought to be better than that with him. So I

744
00:38:59,120 --> 00:39:01,960
Speaker 1: think it's a two team race. I've talked to several

745
00:39:02,080 --> 00:39:05,560
Speaker 1: people that I trust around the Browns and they're not

746
00:39:05,640 --> 00:39:08,359
Speaker 1: fired up about the Browns. Maybe it's just because they

747
00:39:08,360 --> 00:39:11,360
Speaker 1: are the Browns, but that team's got a lot of talent,

748
00:39:11,440 --> 00:39:13,759
Speaker 1: a third new coach for third year in a row,

749
00:39:14,239 --> 00:39:19,239
Speaker 1: new system, and they seem to be struggling because they're

750
00:39:19,239 --> 00:39:21,920
Speaker 1: having to put in so much new stuff. And it

751
00:39:22,040 --> 00:39:25,239
Speaker 1: might be, you know, they've got so much talent, you

752
00:39:25,320 --> 00:39:27,479
Speaker 1: need a lot of lunch pail guys. They just seem

753
00:39:27,520 --> 00:39:30,240
Speaker 1: to have too many talent, too much talent and egos,

754
00:39:30,320 --> 00:39:33,720
Speaker 1: not enough lunch pail guys. And then Cincinnati, of course,

755
00:39:33,760 --> 00:39:37,320
Speaker 1: nobody's counting on them. And in NFC North, the Packers

756
00:39:37,320 --> 00:39:40,239
Speaker 1: of thirteen and three, they didn't do anything to help

757
00:39:40,280 --> 00:39:43,840
Speaker 1: wide receiver. Why is that? Because they think Aaron Rodgers

758
00:39:43,880 --> 00:39:46,680
Speaker 1: is such a good quarterback. He's gonna do like Tom

759
00:39:46,719 --> 00:39:50,920
Speaker 1: Brady did for decades, two decades. He's gonna make the receivers.

760
00:39:50,920 --> 00:39:53,560
Speaker 1: The receivers are not going to make him, so they're

761
00:39:53,600 --> 00:39:56,800
Speaker 1: still gonna be good. The Vikings should be really hungry

762
00:39:57,360 --> 00:40:01,760
Speaker 1: after last season. And so those are the two best teams.

763
00:40:01,800 --> 00:40:04,759
Speaker 1: I saw somebody saying Detroit was going to be a

764
00:40:04,840 --> 00:40:07,920
Speaker 1: surprise team, and I said, don't say that out loud,

765
00:40:07,960 --> 00:40:12,040

877
00:46:50,960 --> 00:46:56,840
Speaker 1: one phase of the game where the Texans are nearly unparalleled, unparalleled,

878
00:46:57,160 --> 00:47:01,520
Speaker 1: and that would be special team. I know it doesn't

879
00:47:01,560 --> 00:47:05,480
Speaker 1: sound sexy, then you've heard me. Got to poke fun

880
00:47:05,560 --> 00:47:10,080
Speaker 1: at myself watching special teams practice, especially punt walkthrough. I

881
00:47:10,080 --> 00:47:15,080
Speaker 1: mean really, but obviously it's hugely important. You will not

882
00:47:15,239 --> 00:47:18,959
Speaker 1: hear me make fun of drive start offensive and defenses

883
00:47:19,239 --> 00:47:23,440
Speaker 1: defensive and the Texans last year punt return average on

884
00:47:23,640 --> 00:47:27,800
Speaker 1: defense meaning special teams stopping the punt returner from gaining anything.

885
00:47:28,360 --> 00:47:33,320
Speaker 1: Number one in the National Football League. The Houston Texans

886
00:47:33,320 --> 00:47:37,120
Speaker 1: opponents got three point four yards per punt return against

887
00:47:37,160 --> 00:47:41,160
Speaker 1: the Texans, while the Texans had DeAndre Carter gained nine

888
00:47:41,160 --> 00:47:43,400
Speaker 1: point seven. I mean that was that was a big number.

889
00:47:43,520 --> 00:47:46,480
Speaker 1: That was near the top of the league. So kickoff

890
00:47:46,520 --> 00:47:51,040
Speaker 1: return average Texans second in the NFL an opponent drive

891
00:47:51,080 --> 00:47:54,920
Speaker 1: start meaning opponents aren't getting anything against the Houston Texans,

892
00:47:54,920 --> 00:47:57,960
Speaker 1: their second in the league in that category. They do

893
00:47:58,239 --> 00:48:02,080
Speaker 1: the job, Johnny in this very important phase of the game.

894
00:48:02,160 --> 00:48:04,799
Speaker 1: Fair Baron good, not perfect, but good. He's never missed

895
00:48:04,840 --> 00:48:07,960
Speaker 1: a big one for the Houston Texans and Brian Anger

896
00:48:08,120 --> 00:48:11,040
Speaker 1: skyrocketing the football. Look, I'm doing your breakdown for you.

00:48:11,040 --> 00:48:13,560
Speaker 1: You go ahead, my friend. Yeah, why do you want

898
00:48:13,600 --> 00:48:16,279
Speaker 1: me to do it? I know you're just you're doing

899
00:48:16,280 --> 00:48:20,239
Speaker 1: it yourself. I think. I think the thing about the

900
00:48:20,320 --> 00:48:23,640
Speaker 1: special team is the first thing I look at, kind

901
00:48:23,680 --> 00:48:26,960
Speaker 1: of I don't know, comparing years is in this happens

902
00:48:27,040 --> 00:48:30,239
Speaker 1: offense defense as well. Okay, who's coming back? Who do

903
00:48:30,360 --> 00:48:34,840
Speaker 1: we lose? So the main your three main specialists, Anger,

904
00:48:34,960 --> 00:48:38,440
Speaker 1: Weeks and Kymie fair Baron all coming back. Okay, that's good.

905
00:48:38,719 --> 00:48:41,759
Speaker 1: Obviously at the top. You lost Brad Seeley, which is

906
00:48:42,120 --> 00:48:44,200
Speaker 1: a lost. Brad is one of the great coaches in

907
00:48:44,239 --> 00:48:46,480
Speaker 1: this league, one of the great special teams coaches in

908
00:48:46,480 --> 00:48:49,480
Speaker 1: this league. I love Brad and it was interesting. I

909
00:48:49,520 --> 00:48:50,839
Speaker 1: wrote a little article. I don't know if I told

910
00:48:50,840 --> 00:48:52,840
Speaker 1: you this. I wrote an article about just what he

911
00:48:52,880 --> 00:48:55,160
Speaker 1: meant to the team, and I kind of relived one

912
00:48:55,200 --> 00:48:57,600
Speaker 1: of the stories. I got an email back from a

913
00:48:57,640 --> 00:48:59,680
Speaker 1: couple of days later just saying, Hey, John, it was

Speaker 1: And Tracy's taken over, and I think Tracy's gonna keep

918
00:49:10,719 --> 00:49:13,719
Speaker 1: that train moving. I think Tracy's a really good football coach, Um,

919
00:49:13,880 --> 00:49:16,360
Speaker 1: and he's gonna really keep that special teams train moving.

920
00:49:16,400 --> 00:49:18,319
Speaker 1: So then you go to the personnel, who do we lose? Okay,

921
00:49:18,400 --> 00:49:21,520
Speaker 1: Taiwan Jones will back the Buffalo, and then you lost

922
00:49:21,880 --> 00:49:27,040
Speaker 1: Kiki Mingo. Those guys were pretty influential on the special teams.

923
00:49:27,160 --> 00:49:30,080
Speaker 1: But what did you add? You added Michael Thomas. That

924
00:49:30,280 --> 00:49:34,080
Speaker 1: was a big, big piece to add because Michael Thomas

925
00:49:34,080 --> 00:49:36,680
Speaker 1: you can put in areas where you had Justin Reid's

926
00:49:36,680 --> 00:49:39,120
Speaker 1: whereas Justin Reid last year was your personal protector on

927
00:49:39,200 --> 00:49:42,480
Speaker 1: punt Maybe now you can use Michael Thomas, a guy

928
00:49:42,560 --> 00:49:45,520
Speaker 1: that understands the special teams and you can hear him

929
00:49:46,120 --> 00:49:48,600
Speaker 1: calling out signals and things like that as personal protector

930
00:49:48,600 --> 00:49:51,279
Speaker 1: on punts. So you bring in Michael Thomas. Um, you

931
00:49:51,360 --> 00:49:53,680
Speaker 1: obviously have a guy like John Reid that you're going

932
00:49:53,760 --> 00:49:57,400
Speaker 1: to play on special teams, no no doubt about it.

933
00:49:57,480 --> 00:50:00,279
Speaker 1: So you bring in John Reid, and then you think

934
00:50:00,320 --> 00:50:02,399
Speaker 1: about what you have coming back as well. A J Moore,

935
00:50:02,480 --> 00:50:04,480
Speaker 1: one of the better special teams players in this league.

936
00:50:04,680 --> 00:50:06,719
Speaker 1: You got him coming back. Hopefully at some point you're

937
00:50:06,760 --> 00:50:11,319
Speaker 1: gonna get a healthy Delon cole back on special teams. Yeah,

938
00:50:12,000 --> 00:50:16,680
Speaker 1: so so crucial. Brennan Scarlett is a tremendous special teamer.

939
00:50:16,760 --> 00:50:18,920
Speaker 1: When he is not seeing time on the field defensively,

940
00:50:19,520 --> 00:50:23,200
Speaker 1: he goes on that the special team side and whips

941
00:50:23,200 --> 00:50:25,920
Speaker 1: it into a frenzy. He does a tremendous job. Toorell

942
00:50:25,960 --> 00:50:29,080
Speaker 1: Adams is excellent on special teams. I know he's gonna

943
00:50:29,120 --> 00:50:34,040
Speaker 1: be on the cutdown line potentially, but when he's there

944
00:50:34,040 --> 00:50:38,440
Speaker 1: on special teams, he is very very good on special teams.

945
00:50:38,440 --> 00:50:41,720
Speaker 1: So you've got a number and Gillie when Gilly's healthy.

946
00:50:41,920 --> 00:50:44,640
Speaker 1: Buddy how And that could be the separator between Bron

947
00:50:44,719 --> 00:50:47,840
Speaker 1: Higden and Buddy Howell is but he's been excellent on

948
00:50:47,880 --> 00:50:51,879
Speaker 1: special team. So you're bringing back a good majority of

949
00:50:51,920 --> 00:50:55,840
Speaker 1: those players, and you're replacing Taiwan Jones and Keiki Mingo

950
00:50:56,320 --> 00:51:00,680
Speaker 1: with Michael Thomas. Jaylen Watkins is down here, Eric Murray,

951
00:51:00,960 --> 00:51:03,160
Speaker 1: depending on how much you're using Eric Murray, he could

952
00:51:03,160 --> 00:51:04,799
Speaker 1: play on special teams if you need him too. You know,

953
00:51:04,880 --> 00:51:07,279
Speaker 1: Zach Cunningham will always jump in on special teams. He

954
00:51:07,320 --> 00:51:10,719
Speaker 1: said that in his media session the other day. He's like, yeah,

955
00:51:10,760 --> 00:51:13,200
Speaker 1: I like to play special teams. I understand its impact.

956
00:51:13,200 --> 00:51:16,120
Speaker 1: And he's gone down and made playing special teams. So, yes,

957
00:51:16,280 --> 00:51:18,560
Speaker 1: you lose brads, that's a big loss, but Tracy Smith

958
00:51:18,560 --> 00:51:20,600
Speaker 1: steps in. I think you're gonna be fine there. Losing

959
00:51:20,680 --> 00:51:22,839
Speaker 1: Jones and Mingo will hurt a little bit, but you're

960
00:51:22,840 --> 00:51:25,000
Speaker 1: gonna get some impact from the guys that you brought in,

961
00:51:25,120 --> 00:51:28,160
Speaker 1: and Michael Thomas and Jalen Watkins, and then you drafted

962
00:51:28,160 --> 00:51:29,520
Speaker 1: a guy like John Reid who I think can be

963
00:51:29,560 --> 00:51:32,719
Speaker 1: absolutely phenomenal on special teams, and you've already got some

964
00:51:32,719 --> 00:51:34,680
Speaker 1: stunts on special teams. I've done it for two years,

965
00:51:34,680 --> 00:51:37,239
Speaker 1: aj Moore being first and foremost. And how can I

966
00:51:37,320 --> 00:51:41,240
Speaker 1: forget Keenan Crossing, who I think loves just playing football

967
00:51:41,280 --> 00:51:43,920
Speaker 1: more than anybody I've ever seen, and he'll run down

968
00:51:43,960 --> 00:51:46,040
Speaker 1: and do anything you ask him to do on special teams.

969
00:51:46,360 --> 00:51:49,880
Speaker 1: So I think your units, your core four special teamers

970
00:51:50,080 --> 00:51:53,520
Speaker 1: for the most part, are back together, and they've got speed,

971
00:51:53,920 --> 00:51:56,839
Speaker 1: they've been productive, and I think they'll be able to

972
00:51:56,920 --> 00:51:58,839
Speaker 1: do it again. And of course they'll get a big

973
00:51:58,840 --> 00:52:00,399
Speaker 1: test right out of the shoot to get it's Miko

974
00:52:00,480 --> 00:52:04,240
Speaker 1: Hardman running back kickoff returns in that first game. Well,

975
00:52:04,280 --> 00:52:07,040
Speaker 1: I just think that you have to not only play

976
00:52:07,040 --> 00:52:09,759
Speaker 1: well in the regular season, but we know about the postseason, right.

977
00:52:09,800 --> 00:52:11,759
Speaker 1: We know what happened in the Chiefs game, and I

978
00:52:11,760 --> 00:52:15,839
Speaker 1: think the special teams error they had on the kick

979
00:52:15,880 --> 00:52:20,040
Speaker 1: return coverage opened up the floodgates. I'm not saying they

980
00:52:20,040 --> 00:52:22,480
Speaker 1: wouldn't have opened anyway, but you know that's I can

981
00:52:22,520 --> 00:52:25,799
Speaker 1: trace it to that moment where they had a big

982
00:52:25,840 --> 00:52:27,960
Speaker 1: return and it got the crowd juiced up and they

983
00:52:27,960 --> 00:52:31,360
Speaker 1: got going after that but I can't take anything away

984
00:52:31,360 --> 00:52:35,040
Speaker 1: from these units, this phase of the game you brought

985
00:52:35,080 --> 00:52:37,799
Speaker 1: up Seely. I think people have to know Tracy Smith, well,

986
00:52:37,800 --> 00:52:40,640
Speaker 1: who is this guy? He worked with Seely? Not just here,

987
00:52:40,680 --> 00:52:43,800
Speaker 1: but he's worked with them for ten years. So Tracy

988
00:52:43,920 --> 00:52:46,920
Speaker 1: Smith and Brad Sealey can finish each other's sentences. And

989
00:52:46,960 --> 00:52:48,600
Speaker 1: they were joined at the hip, weren't they. I mean,

990
00:52:48,600 --> 00:52:50,319
Speaker 1: we get on the bus. They for some reason they

991
00:52:50,320 --> 00:52:52,120
Speaker 1: wanted to be at our bus. I don't know they

992
00:52:52,360 --> 00:52:55,279
Speaker 1: was spread out. Yeah, I don't know, like did they

993
00:52:55,320 --> 00:52:57,080
Speaker 1: want to spread out? And just like I don't know

994
00:52:57,120 --> 00:53:01,120
Speaker 1: what it was, but they their communication was so tight

995
00:53:01,600 --> 00:53:05,080
Speaker 1: between them and I. You know, look, you have to

996
00:53:05,120 --> 00:53:07,279
Speaker 1: see it and you can't say it's gonna happen. And

997
00:53:07,440 --> 00:53:09,319
Speaker 1: you know, you can predict, but you can't say it's

998
00:53:09,320 --> 00:53:11,439
Speaker 1: definitely gonna happen until you see it. But I feel

999
00:53:11,440 --> 00:53:14,160
Speaker 1: pretty confident with Tracy Smith being the Special Team's coordinator here.

1000
00:53:14,200 --> 00:53:16,480
Speaker 1: I mean, this is gonna be fun to watch. And

1001
00:53:17,080 --> 00:53:20,400
Speaker 1: you're saying fun to watch Specialty, yes, because when you

1002
00:53:20,520 --> 00:53:23,759
Speaker 1: pin people deep, you hurt Lonnie in the interview, if

1003
00:53:23,800 --> 00:53:25,880
Speaker 1: I could pin somebody deep in the big tackles and

1004
00:53:26,040 --> 00:53:27,680
Speaker 1: go out there and play d that's huge. I mean

1005
00:53:27,719 --> 00:53:30,880
Speaker 1: it is. It's it fires everybody up. And the fact

1006
00:53:30,920 --> 00:53:36,759
Speaker 1: that these guys understand their impact on this game, on

1007
00:53:36,880 --> 00:53:39,799
Speaker 1: every game, that's huge to me because I think a

1008
00:53:39,800 --> 00:53:43,200
Speaker 1: lot of young guys are like plus play special teams,

1009
00:53:43,320 --> 00:53:46,279
Speaker 1: that's all I do. But when A J. Moore got here,

1010
00:53:46,280 --> 00:53:47,640
Speaker 1: he was kind on the first one where I went,

1011
00:53:47,719 --> 00:53:50,239
Speaker 1: this dude just loves being any special teams and you

1012
00:53:50,239 --> 00:53:52,040
Speaker 1: can see it in the huddle, and that was really

1013
00:53:52,080 --> 00:53:55,719
Speaker 1: having an impact. So I think you have guys that

1014
00:53:55,920 --> 00:53:59,279
Speaker 1: understand what their roles are and what they can be.

1015
00:53:59,760 --> 00:54:01,120
Speaker 1: And then you've got younger guys. When you get a

1016
00:54:01,160 --> 00:54:02,799
Speaker 1: guy la Ghani Johnson because he comes to the second

1017
00:54:02,840 --> 00:54:05,480
Speaker 1: round pick East thing, I have no other second round

1018
00:54:05,520 --> 00:54:07,560
Speaker 1: picks and Texas have head said, nah, I don't play

1019
00:54:07,600 --> 00:54:09,680
Speaker 1: special teams. You know, they didn't last very long in

1020
00:54:09,680 --> 00:54:12,200
Speaker 1: this league. But Roni Johnson's like, yeah, where can I

1021
00:54:12,200 --> 00:54:14,839
Speaker 1: make an impact special teams? Okay, I'm in, let's go.

1022
00:54:15,040 --> 00:54:17,160
Speaker 1: That's the kind of those are the kind of guys

1023
00:54:17,160 --> 00:54:20,000
Speaker 1: you gotta have on those particular units because it's not

1024
00:54:20,520 --> 00:54:23,279
Speaker 1: it's not fun work. Hey, well this ball's kick, go

1025
00:54:23,400 --> 00:54:26,160
Speaker 1: run forty five yards, go run forty five to fifty

1026
00:54:26,200 --> 00:54:28,120
Speaker 1: yards down the field and go tackle the really fast

1027
00:54:28,120 --> 00:54:30,480
Speaker 1: guy with the ball as a guy's trying to block you,

1028
00:54:30,560 --> 00:54:33,560
Speaker 1: go go do it. And I mean the car crash

1029
00:54:33,640 --> 00:54:36,160
Speaker 1: collisions you have. Yeah, I mean you gotta be slightly

1030
00:54:36,200 --> 00:54:39,080
Speaker 1: crazy to do it, and that's okay. But if you

1031
00:54:39,200 --> 00:54:42,000
Speaker 1: got smart, slightly crazy guys that do it, you end

1032
00:54:42,120 --> 00:54:43,360
Speaker 1: up top five in the league. And that's where the

1033
00:54:43,400 --> 00:54:45,080
Speaker 1: Texas have had in the last couple of years. Well,

1034
00:54:45,120 --> 00:54:47,399
Speaker 1: and Johnny, here's the other thing. When I joke about

1035
00:54:47,440 --> 00:54:50,200
Speaker 1: watching special teams practice and the lack of excitement, it's

1036
00:54:50,239 --> 00:54:53,080
Speaker 1: because you can. And Bill O'Brien said it yesterday, you

1037
00:54:53,080 --> 00:54:55,400
Speaker 1: can never really go live and special teams. You can

1038
00:54:55,440 --> 00:54:58,080
Speaker 1: go live offense defense, but you can never really go

1039
00:54:58,160 --> 00:55:01,600
Speaker 1: live and special teams. The only sighting things are anger

1040
00:55:01,680 --> 00:55:03,600
Speaker 1: trying to pin it deep because you could simulate that

1041
00:55:03,640 --> 00:55:08,319
Speaker 1: pretty well, right, yes, simulate a pindeep situation. And fair

1042
00:55:08,360 --> 00:55:10,759
Speaker 1: Bear and trying to kick, you know, unbelievable field goals.

1043
00:55:10,840 --> 00:55:12,239
Speaker 1: Let's give him a sixty yard or see if I

1044
00:55:12,280 --> 00:55:14,360
Speaker 1: can hit this one, you know, or you know whatever.

1045
00:55:14,440 --> 00:55:16,919
Speaker 1: I kind of enjoy watching Fairbear and when he gets

1046
00:55:16,960 --> 00:55:18,640
Speaker 1: like five in a row to see if he can

1047
00:55:18,719 --> 00:55:21,879
Speaker 1: make him at five opportunities in a row. So that's

1048
00:55:21,920 --> 00:55:23,279
Speaker 1: kind of cool. All right, that's gonna do it for

1049
00:55:23,280 --> 00:55:27,120
Speaker 1: the special team's breakdown. As we've done all our position breakdowns.

1050
00:55:27,160 --> 00:55:30,160
Speaker 1: What are we going to do tomorrow for position breakdown? Johnny?

1051
00:55:30,200 --> 00:55:32,200
Speaker 1: I think we're going to do team breakdown and in

1052
00:55:32,239 --> 00:55:34,399
Speaker 1: the next hour, among other things, I want to get

1053
00:55:34,440 --> 00:55:38,000
Speaker 1: to a couple of items I've seen nationally where the

1054
00:55:38,040 --> 00:55:42,000
Speaker 1: Texans are projected to stack up in this league. And

1055
00:55:42,480 --> 00:55:45,320
Speaker 1: do you agree with some of the so called experts,

1056
00:55:45,360 --> 00:55:48,919
Speaker 1: the pundits or not? And Eric Murray we've talked about

1057
00:55:49,000 --> 00:55:51,160
Speaker 1: him in awful lot, Drew Doherty gets to know him.

1058
00:55:51,440 --> 00:55:54,200
Speaker 1: Landry's Camp questions coming up. It's all happening on Texans

01:01:11,800 --> 01:01:14,120
Speaker 1: start an argument with sports fans, ask who should be

1155
01:01:14,200 --> 01:01:17,320

1156
01:01:17,440 --> 01:01:19,720
Speaker 1: and that player does that, and I could be persuaded

1157
01:01:19,760 --> 01:01:23,240
Speaker 1: either way. And when it comes to an MVP of MPG, yeah,

1158
01:01:23,320 --> 01:01:26,640
Speaker 1: Miles per Gallant. I made my choice chevron with Techron

1159
01:01:26,920 --> 01:01:30,720
Speaker 1: Why well, Number one, it's proven no gasoline gets better mileage.

1160
01:01:30,960 --> 01:01:33,360
Speaker 1: Number two, no gasoline has more cleaning power to help

1161
01:01:33,440 --> 01:01:37,360
Speaker 1: keep vital engine parts clean. Unbeatable mileage, unbeatable cleaning. You

1162
01:01:37,360 --> 01:01:41,000
Speaker 1: can't argue with that Chevron. With Techron care for your car.

1194
01:03:27,400 --> 01:03:30,120
Speaker 1: good feel for what some of these new players alike

1195
01:03:30,160 --> 01:03:32,360
Speaker 1: and how some of the older guys are doing, older

1196
01:03:32,360 --> 01:03:35,600

1197
01:03:35,600 --> 01:03:37,600
Speaker 1: tomorrow we'll be covering that. We're not gonna do it live,

1198
01:03:38,000 --> 01:03:39,760
Speaker 1: but we're gonna be covering that, so you're gonna see

1199
01:03:39,760 --> 01:03:45,440
Speaker 1: plenty of footage from that. Johnny As scrimmages and this team.

1200
01:03:45,960 --> 01:03:49,400
Speaker 1: You don't hear NFL scrimmage talk much because you're not

1201
01:03:49,440 --> 01:03:53,520
Speaker 1: gonna get intrasquad because you'll get joy practices or preseason

1202
01:03:53,560 --> 01:03:56,800
Speaker 1: games and you might do live. You're gonna go ones

1203
01:03:56,800 --> 01:03:58,880
Speaker 1: against ones, You're gonna go live, but they don't call

1204
01:03:58,960 --> 01:04:01,480
Speaker 1: it a scrimmage. There might be a scrimmage like format,

1205
01:04:01,600 --> 01:04:03,560
Speaker 1: but they don't call it a scrimmage, right, I mean,

1206
01:04:03,560 --> 01:04:07,080
Speaker 1: we don't see that a lot in the NFL intrasquad style. Yeah,

1207
01:04:07,120 --> 01:04:09,520
Speaker 1: and really because of those things you talked about, there's

1208
01:04:09,520 --> 01:04:14,520
Speaker 1: no need to take additional risk from that perspective if

1209
01:04:14,360 --> 01:04:16,440
Speaker 1: you don't look at it that way. I mean, joint

1210
01:04:16,440 --> 01:04:19,440
Speaker 1: practices take up. You know, joint practices are kind of

1211
01:04:19,480 --> 01:04:23,600
Speaker 1: like a scrimmage. I know, and sometimes it's semantics like

1212
01:04:23,640 --> 01:04:25,880
Speaker 1: what you consider a scrimmage and what you call it

1213
01:04:25,880 --> 01:04:28,400
Speaker 1: and all that kind of stuff, But you know, joint practices,

1214
01:04:28,560 --> 01:04:31,600
Speaker 1: you get a lot of the Texans have every year

1215
01:04:31,840 --> 01:04:35,680
Speaker 1: tried to get two teams that they quote unquote scrimmage against,

1216
01:04:36,280 --> 01:04:38,080
Speaker 1: and those two teams are teams that they try and

1217
01:04:38,200 --> 01:04:40,680
Speaker 1: that they play or schedule to play in the preseason.

1218
01:04:40,760 --> 01:04:46,280
Speaker 1: So you usually get two we are two to two today,

1219
01:04:46,360 --> 01:04:51,200
Speaker 1: three day sessions with another team. You get four preseason games,

1220
01:04:51,200 --> 01:04:52,880
Speaker 1: and I don't know, maybe you want to say three

1221
01:04:52,960 --> 01:04:55,360
Speaker 1: for everybody and then fourth for guys just fighting for

1222
01:04:55,400 --> 01:04:58,320
Speaker 1: the last few spots on the roster and that fourth one.

1223
01:04:58,400 --> 01:05:01,200
Speaker 1: But that kind of takes care of everything. I think

1224
01:05:01,240 --> 01:05:07,960
Speaker 1: what this will be tomorrow is a kind of dress rehearsal,

1225
01:05:08,000 --> 01:05:10,880
Speaker 1: because if you think about it, when do you go

1226
01:05:10,920 --> 01:05:13,000
Speaker 1: out on a field for a seven thirty game. When

1227
01:05:13,000 --> 01:05:14,760
Speaker 1: do you go out on the field for a noon game.

1228
01:05:14,800 --> 01:05:17,520
Speaker 1: If you're a specialist, if you're alignman, if you are

1229
01:05:17,720 --> 01:05:21,040
Speaker 1: a quarterback, if you are a receiver that doesn't play

1230
01:05:21,080 --> 01:05:23,280
Speaker 1: special teams, if you're a receiver that is a returner,

1231
01:05:23,320 --> 01:05:26,080
Speaker 1: when do you go all that kind of stuff. They've

1232
01:05:26,120 --> 01:05:27,840
Speaker 1: got to do it. I mean they've got to go

1233
01:05:27,920 --> 01:05:31,800
Speaker 1: through that and how how long does that does that go?

1234
01:05:31,880 --> 01:05:34,480
Speaker 1: And so players can actually do it, So that's September tenth,

1235
01:05:34,520 --> 01:05:37,520
Speaker 1: they're like, okay, we kind of know what's going on,

1236
01:05:38,240 --> 01:05:40,880
Speaker 1: whereas in preseason games you can kind of maybe run

1237
01:05:40,920 --> 01:05:43,720
Speaker 1: through that. The quickly the day before preseason game and

1238
01:05:43,720 --> 01:05:45,880
Speaker 1: then like, all right, you'll you'll figure it out during

1239
01:05:45,920 --> 01:05:48,000
Speaker 1: the preseason game. You'll be ready to go. And then

1240
01:05:48,040 --> 01:05:49,720
Speaker 1: you just practice it for those four times and then

1241
01:05:49,720 --> 01:05:52,840
Speaker 1: you're ready to go. But just simple things like where

1242
01:05:52,880 --> 01:05:56,960
Speaker 1: do I go for individual period? Pre game, how do

1243
01:05:57,000 --> 01:05:59,440
Speaker 1: we do pregame? What do we do? Do we do

1244
01:05:59,560 --> 01:06:01,920
Speaker 1: seven on seven? Do we group? How do we do that?

1245
01:06:01,960 --> 01:06:04,040
Speaker 1: They have to do all of that and work on

1246
01:06:04,080 --> 01:06:06,800
Speaker 1: that so that when they get to Kansas City they

1247
01:06:06,920 --> 01:06:08,320
Speaker 1: just know it like the back of the hand. Now

1248
01:06:08,400 --> 01:06:10,120
Speaker 1: there are a lot of vets that do it the

1249
01:06:10,160 --> 01:06:12,840
Speaker 1: same way, but I know that every year. I tweaked

1250
01:06:12,880 --> 01:06:15,480
Speaker 1: something in pregame every single year. One year we went

1251
01:06:15,480 --> 01:06:17,600
Speaker 1: out really early and went back to the locker rooms

1252
01:06:17,640 --> 01:06:19,720
Speaker 1: so guys could kind of relax a little bit. I

1253
01:06:19,760 --> 01:06:21,840
Speaker 1: did that, and in my final year, I was like,

1254
01:06:22,160 --> 01:06:24,240
Speaker 1: we're going out later. We're not spending a bunch of

1255
01:06:24,280 --> 01:06:26,000
Speaker 1: time in pregame, and my coaches kind of got in

1256
01:06:26,000 --> 01:06:27,720
Speaker 1: my head about that. I was like, we're just gonna

1257
01:06:27,760 --> 01:06:29,960
Speaker 1: go much later for pregame, do a shorter pregame with

1258
01:06:30,040 --> 01:06:31,720
Speaker 1: back locker room for a quick second, and come out

1259
01:06:31,760 --> 01:06:35,200
Speaker 1: and play and that was more successful. So you might

1260
01:06:35,240 --> 01:06:38,280
Speaker 1: do the same thing for the most part you did

1261
01:06:38,280 --> 01:06:39,880
Speaker 1: the year before, but you might change the times a

1262
01:06:39,920 --> 01:06:41,919
Speaker 1: little bit. You may tweak it with a little something

1263
01:06:41,960 --> 01:06:43,720
Speaker 1: that you're gonna do this year. So you gotta go

1264
01:06:43,720 --> 01:06:46,200
Speaker 1: through all that. I think that's what they will do Thursday,

1265
01:06:46,200 --> 01:06:48,040
Speaker 1: and if I remember correctly, they're gonna put the full

1266
01:06:48,120 --> 01:06:50,280
Speaker 1: jerseys on and do like what the Steelers have done

1267
01:06:50,280 --> 01:06:51,720
Speaker 1: and a few other teams. The Ram did it the

1268
01:06:51,760 --> 01:06:54,360
Speaker 1: other day and then they just scrimmaged in those in

1269
01:06:54,400 --> 01:06:57,000
Speaker 1: those unis in the New Sofi Stadium, which, by the way,

1270
01:06:57,280 --> 01:07:00,320
Speaker 1: I haven't seen Hard Knocks last night yet, but I've

1271
01:07:00,320 --> 01:07:02,880
Speaker 1: been watching some of the videos that have come out

1272
01:07:02,880 --> 01:07:05,080
Speaker 1: of the Rams and the Chargers and the Raiders, but

1273
01:07:05,240 --> 01:07:07,560
Speaker 1: the Rams and the Chargers in particular. So far. Stadium

1274
01:07:07,680 --> 01:07:12,880
Speaker 1: is unbelievable. Oh yeah, I'm aching to go there, but

1275
01:07:13,080 --> 01:07:15,680
Speaker 1: I'll wait till the pandemic is over. But I'm aching

1276
01:07:15,720 --> 01:07:17,080
Speaker 1: to go there. I mean, I wish we were going

1277
01:07:17,080 --> 01:07:19,240
Speaker 1: there this year, but you know, you want to see

1278
01:07:19,240 --> 01:07:21,480
Speaker 1: it full. You want to see and by the way,

1279
01:07:21,920 --> 01:07:25,320
Speaker 1: those two teams don't do well, it's not gonna be full.

1280
01:07:26,080 --> 01:07:29,520
Speaker 1: I'm I'm saying not the first couple of the first

1281
01:07:29,520 --> 01:07:31,760
Speaker 1: couple of years. It's a novelty, it'll be great. But

1282
01:07:32,080 --> 01:07:35,360
Speaker 1: I always thought LA as a market, LA is what

1283
01:07:35,480 --> 01:07:38,360
Speaker 1: it is, all right, It's it's La. You've got a

1284
01:07:38,400 --> 01:07:41,320
Speaker 1: lot going on in LA and if you're not winning,

1285
01:07:41,520 --> 01:07:44,000
Speaker 1: they're not coming to the game. All right, It's not

1286
01:07:44,120 --> 01:07:47,240
Speaker 1: gonna be empty, but you're not gonna pack it every

1287
01:07:47,240 --> 01:07:51,000
Speaker 1: week unless you're winning after three, four or five years.

1288
01:07:51,400 --> 01:07:53,280
Speaker 1: I liken that to everyone always asking me if the

1289
01:07:53,360 --> 01:07:55,720
Speaker 1: NHL would work at Houston, And I think that the

1290
01:07:55,800 --> 01:07:58,680
Speaker 1: NHL would work fine in Houston if you have a

1291
01:07:58,720 --> 01:08:01,440
Speaker 1: really good team, but it would work a lot of

1292
01:08:01,440 --> 01:08:03,600
Speaker 1: places with a really good team. You have a sub

1293
01:08:03,640 --> 01:08:05,920
Speaker 1: five hundred NHL team, I don't think it's working so

1294
01:08:05,960 --> 01:08:09,360
Speaker 1: well in Houston. And that's that's the nature of professional sports.

1295
01:08:09,400 --> 01:08:11,040
Speaker 1: You want somebody to make it an investment and bring

1296
01:08:11,040 --> 01:08:13,120
Speaker 1: a team here. Yeah, and I know you want them

1297
01:08:13,120 --> 01:08:16,760
Speaker 1: to win, right, but they have to be viable at

1298
01:08:16,800 --> 01:08:19,559
Speaker 1: the very least. If they're not that great, they're you know,

1299
01:08:19,600 --> 01:08:21,960
Speaker 1: hovering around five hundred and just barely get into the

1300
01:08:21,960 --> 01:08:24,720
Speaker 1: playoffs and do whatever they do. I'd love to see it, man,

1301
01:08:24,840 --> 01:08:27,040
Speaker 1: I mean I love hockey. Actually I don't love it.

1302
01:08:27,080 --> 01:08:30,240
Speaker 1: I really like it when it's live, I can't. It's

1303
01:08:30,240 --> 01:08:32,600
Speaker 1: one of those sports that I don't love it, and

1304
01:08:32,600 --> 01:08:35,360
Speaker 1: I kind of wish I did things about it. I

1305
01:08:35,439 --> 01:08:37,960
Speaker 1: love the announcers. The announcers in the NHL, to me,

1306
01:08:38,080 --> 01:08:41,559
Speaker 1: are second enough. These guys are unbelievable. But you know

1307
01:08:41,800 --> 01:08:44,800
Speaker 1: I digress, Johnny, let's hear from Eric Murray. Well, yeah,

1308
01:08:44,840 --> 01:08:46,840
Speaker 1: let's hear from Eric Murray. I was gonna say, we'll

1309
01:08:46,880 --> 01:08:49,160
Speaker 1: talk about this, but but that's what I was always

1310
01:08:49,160 --> 01:08:53,840
Speaker 1: curious what Vegas, how Vegas would embrace h NFL team,

1311
01:08:53,880 --> 01:08:55,920
Speaker 1: And I thought, Okay, the NHL is a good test

1312
01:08:55,960 --> 01:08:58,720
Speaker 1: case for how this area is gonna kind of accept

1313
01:08:58,800 --> 01:09:00,960
Speaker 1: the team, because, like you said, the same kind of

1314
01:09:00,960 --> 01:09:04,760
Speaker 1: thing I mean, I mean, it's a it's a place

1315
01:09:04,800 --> 01:09:08,720
Speaker 1: people go with so many different options for entertainment that

1316
01:09:08,800 --> 01:09:11,720
Speaker 1: I kind of wondered what the fans support would be like. Well,

1317
01:09:11,760 --> 01:09:13,479
Speaker 1: then the hockey team went to the Stanley Cup the

1318
01:09:13,520 --> 01:09:16,320
Speaker 1: first year, and it was they were all about that

1319
01:09:16,479 --> 01:09:18,800
Speaker 1: hockey team. Horse It's a good way to kind of

1320
01:09:18,880 --> 01:09:21,080
Speaker 1: kick things off. But now we'll see what they do

1321
01:09:21,080 --> 01:09:23,679
Speaker 1: with the Raiders and the Raiders have such a such

1322
01:09:23,680 --> 01:09:26,720
Speaker 1: a following, and those PSLs just went like hotcakes. I

1323
01:09:26,720 --> 01:09:29,680
Speaker 1: mean they just went. They were out, they were I

1324
01:09:30,040 --> 01:09:33,040
Speaker 1: don't know the time frame, but they were completely and

1325
01:09:33,160 --> 01:09:36,160
Speaker 1: totally sold out within a short amount of time. So

1326
01:09:36,360 --> 01:09:40,160
Speaker 1: they kind of solved that question and answered that question

1327
01:09:40,160 --> 01:09:43,240
Speaker 1: and how that following was gonna be. But man, that

1328
01:09:43,320 --> 01:09:46,559
Speaker 1: those stadiums look absolutely fantastic. And I'm like you, when

1329
01:09:46,560 --> 01:09:48,680
Speaker 1: this pandemic is over, that's gonna be two places I

1330
01:09:48,720 --> 01:09:51,080
Speaker 1: know our fans will want to take a road trip

1331
01:09:51,240 --> 01:09:55,080
Speaker 1: for sure. Tell I think I always thought Vegas would

1332
01:09:55,080 --> 01:09:58,160
Speaker 1: be pretty good because I just thought the league wouldn't

1333
01:09:58,160 --> 01:10:00,360
Speaker 1: go there because of the gambling. And obviously things change

1334
01:10:00,360 --> 01:10:05,520
Speaker 1: and evolved over time. But the casino perks, the casinos

1335
01:10:05,520 --> 01:10:09,160
Speaker 1: all buying suites, so you have that, you have people

1336
01:10:09,320 --> 01:10:11,600
Speaker 1: the ease of getting to Vegas. Right if you're a

1337
01:10:11,680 --> 01:10:13,280
Speaker 1: Raider fan, no matter where you live in there in

1338
01:10:13,400 --> 01:10:15,840
Speaker 1: LA and Oakland and all over the place. It's a

1339
01:10:15,960 --> 01:10:18,519
Speaker 1: national team, so you can get in. You're an opponent,

1340
01:10:18,760 --> 01:10:21,280
Speaker 1: well where are you going, Let's go to Vegas and

1341
01:10:21,280 --> 01:10:23,920
Speaker 1: watch our team play. So the opponents will buy up

1342
01:10:23,960 --> 01:10:27,200
Speaker 1: all the tickets on the secondary market, If the Texans

1343
01:10:27,280 --> 01:10:29,840
Speaker 1: go to Vegas, it's gonna be battle red city, you

1344
01:10:29,920 --> 01:10:32,800
Speaker 1: know it. So this is non pandemic, of course, So

1345
01:10:33,720 --> 01:10:36,040
Speaker 1: I think that can work out pretty well for a

1346
01:10:36,080 --> 01:10:38,679
Speaker 1: long period of time, even if they're not a winning team.

1347
01:10:38,840 --> 01:10:40,920
Speaker 1: I believe that to be the case for Vegas. For

1348
01:10:41,040 --> 01:10:45,280
Speaker 1: La it's a little bit different. Now, let's transition clunkily.

1349
01:10:45,920 --> 01:10:49,679
Speaker 1: Is that an adverb into Eric Murray? Now? Eric Murray

1350
01:10:49,920 --> 01:10:53,320
Speaker 1: brought into place? Safety? Eric Murray can play special teams.

1351
01:10:53,360 --> 01:10:54,680
Speaker 1: Eric Murray can do a lot of things for your

1352
01:10:54,680 --> 01:10:57,760
Speaker 1: football team. And like all the players that we've had

1353
01:10:57,760 --> 01:10:59,880
Speaker 1: a chance to catch up with, there's just something about them.

1354
01:11:00,040 --> 01:11:01,880
Speaker 1: He's the kind of guy you want representing your team

1355
01:11:01,880 --> 01:11:04,320
Speaker 1: in your city. And Drute Doherty had a chance to

1356
01:11:04,320 --> 01:11:06,800
Speaker 1: sit down with the new text and safety, you're gonna

1357
01:11:06,800 --> 01:11:09,040
Speaker 1: be hearing a whole lot from him. Safety Eric Murray

1358
01:11:09,120 --> 01:11:11,400
Speaker 1: joins us now, and Eric, it's good to talk with you.

1359
01:11:11,520 --> 01:11:13,000
Speaker 1: First time you and I have had a chance of

1360
01:11:13,120 --> 01:11:16,120
Speaker 1: chit chat. How has the adjustment been here in Houston?

1361
01:11:16,320 --> 01:11:18,200
Speaker 1: How nice has it been to actually get out and

1362
01:11:18,240 --> 01:11:22,040
Speaker 1: practice some football with your new teammates. It's definitely been

1363
01:11:22,160 --> 01:11:25,720
Speaker 1: nice to just be out there at musty camaraderie. I'm

1364
01:11:25,760 --> 01:11:30,240
Speaker 1: coming into a good culture already, so just transitioning that's

1365
01:11:30,360 --> 01:11:32,880
Speaker 1: that's just perfect for me due to the you know,

1366
01:11:32,960 --> 01:11:35,240
Speaker 1: all this stuff that's going on in the world and

1367
01:11:35,439 --> 01:11:38,240
Speaker 1: everything and all the new protocols and stuff. So it's

1368
01:11:38,320 --> 01:11:40,799
Speaker 1: definitely been a good culture establishing that's helping me transition.

1369
01:11:41,320 --> 01:11:43,080
Speaker 1: It's been fun seeing you out there at practice. You

1370
01:11:43,160 --> 01:11:44,760
Speaker 1: play all over the place. I mean, you're with the

1371
01:11:44,760 --> 01:11:48,680
Speaker 1: ones on defense, you're on special teams doing that. Describe

1372
01:11:48,880 --> 01:11:51,080
Speaker 1: for those who may not may not have seen you

1373
01:11:51,120 --> 01:11:53,640
Speaker 1: play though, who you are as a safety, who you

1374
01:11:53,640 --> 01:11:56,680
Speaker 1: are as a football player. As a football player, I'm

1375
01:11:56,720 --> 01:11:59,280
Speaker 1: a really aggressive guy. I kind of see stuff and

1376
01:11:59,320 --> 01:12:02,000
Speaker 1: I just just go get it. I've always been a

1377
01:12:02,000 --> 01:12:05,840
Speaker 1: relentless player and bring persatility and things like that to

1378
01:12:05,920 --> 01:12:09,760
Speaker 1: the defense and wherever I'm needed, you know. That's what

1379
01:12:09,880 --> 01:12:12,000
Speaker 1: I'm trying to provide and just play to the best

1380
01:12:12,000 --> 01:12:15,559
Speaker 1: of my abilities. Yeah, the way Anthony Weaver is coaching

1381
01:12:15,560 --> 01:12:18,640
Speaker 1: this defense as a coordinator, you play perfectly into what

1382
01:12:18,680 --> 01:12:21,120
Speaker 1: he's trying to accomplish in the type of guys he wants.

1383
01:12:21,120 --> 01:12:24,000
Speaker 1: That versatility is what you mentioned, That flexibility to do

1384
01:12:24,080 --> 01:12:27,120
Speaker 1: different things what's it been like playing for him? You've

1385
01:12:27,160 --> 01:12:28,960
Speaker 1: You've played in a few different places, had a few

1386
01:12:28,960 --> 01:12:32,200
Speaker 1: defense to different dcs. What is Weaver like as a

1387
01:12:32,240 --> 01:12:35,280
Speaker 1: defensive coordinator? He's a good coordinating I really like that

1388
01:12:35,600 --> 01:12:39,040
Speaker 1: he brings the same attitude every day. Just creating that

1389
01:12:39,080 --> 01:12:43,760
Speaker 1: consistency among us and the coaches is definitely infectious, and

1390
01:12:43,960 --> 01:12:47,160
Speaker 1: no matter through the ups and downs, the person is

1391
01:12:47,200 --> 01:12:49,080
Speaker 1: going to remain the same. So I really respect that

1392
01:12:49,120 --> 01:12:51,559
Speaker 1: about him. And plus I like the way he calls

1393
01:12:51,640 --> 01:12:54,120
Speaker 1: the game and how he tries to mix up, mix

1394
01:12:54,200 --> 01:12:57,080
Speaker 1: up things and do stuff like that. So I'm really

1395
01:12:57,160 --> 01:12:59,280
Speaker 1: enjoying him as a coordinator in this personality as well.

1396
01:12:59,680 --> 01:13:01,960
Speaker 1: You know, you played last year in Cleveland, but before

1397
01:13:02,000 --> 01:13:03,840
Speaker 1: that you were a Kansas City chief. It's where you

1398
01:13:03,840 --> 01:13:06,920
Speaker 1: begin your career. That's where the Texans begin twenty twenty

1399
01:13:07,080 --> 01:13:09,880
Speaker 1: on Thursday Night Football, September tenth. How excited are you

1400
01:13:09,960 --> 01:13:11,639
Speaker 1: for that? You get to go back to a place

1401
01:13:11,680 --> 01:13:14,160
Speaker 1: that you kind of know pretty well, don't you. Yeah,

1402
01:13:14,160 --> 01:13:17,920
Speaker 1: I'm definitely excited to go back. I'm a little bone

1403
01:13:18,000 --> 01:13:20,160
Speaker 1: that the atmosphere won't be the same dude too, you know,

1404
01:13:20,320 --> 01:13:23,479
Speaker 1: we won't have the same fans, but definitely decided to

1405
01:13:23,520 --> 01:13:26,479
Speaker 1: go back and play against my former team and just

1406
01:13:27,479 --> 01:13:30,160
Speaker 1: and and play a hell of a game. Really. Yeah,

1407
01:13:30,160 --> 01:13:32,439
Speaker 1: what's it like playing with Justin Reid? What are your

1408
01:13:32,439 --> 01:13:34,760
Speaker 1: impressions of him? Early audio? It's a third year in

1409
01:13:34,800 --> 01:13:39,240
Speaker 1: the NFL now, he's a really smart guy, really smart

1410
01:13:39,360 --> 01:13:41,680
Speaker 1: and to be his third year in the league. He

1411
01:13:41,760 --> 01:13:45,120
Speaker 1: brings a great leadership row I think, and that's Hughes

1412
01:13:45,600 --> 01:13:48,000
Speaker 1: and young players and things like that. He practices the

1413
01:13:48,080 --> 01:13:50,280
Speaker 1: right away and he studies the right away. He's definitely

1414
01:13:50,280 --> 01:13:53,240
Speaker 1: a great example to follow for everybody in the room.

1415
01:13:53,280 --> 01:13:56,240
Speaker 1: And when it comes to special teams, that's an important

1416
01:13:56,320 --> 01:13:58,880
Speaker 1: thing down here in Houston and especially over the last

1417
01:13:58,880 --> 01:14:00,640
Speaker 1: couple of years. What have you know just about the

1418
01:14:00,680 --> 01:14:03,679
Speaker 1: special teams units since you got here? Oh, you gotta

1419
01:14:03,720 --> 01:14:06,080
Speaker 1: have guys who take pride in and I think we

1420
01:14:06,160 --> 01:14:08,280
Speaker 1: definitely have a core group of people who take pride

1421
01:14:08,280 --> 01:14:12,520
Speaker 1: in special teams. And the more the more uh conviction

1422
01:14:12,560 --> 01:14:15,720
Speaker 1: you play with um, the better the team will be

1423
01:14:16,080 --> 01:14:20,040
Speaker 1: and it'll create a better camaraderie amongst the third phase

1424
01:14:20,040 --> 01:14:22,480
Speaker 1: of the game. You played your college ball in Minnesota.

1425
01:14:22,479 --> 01:14:24,680
Speaker 1: You're a part of two bowl games right here in

1426
01:14:24,720 --> 01:14:27,519
Speaker 1: this building the Texas Bowl and consecutive years. What do

1427
01:14:27,560 --> 01:14:30,040
Speaker 1: you remember about your times here when you were in college.

1428
01:14:31,680 --> 01:14:34,600
Speaker 1: I remember that we never won here, so that was

1429
01:14:34,840 --> 01:14:38,639
Speaker 1: that was a little depressing. Every time I came back here, Um,

1430
01:14:39,120 --> 01:14:42,560
Speaker 1: I would know that I didn't win. I think the

1431
01:14:42,640 --> 01:14:46,679
Speaker 1: last time I played here um was my first year,

1432
01:14:46,880 --> 01:14:50,000
Speaker 1: I believe two years. Yeah, yeah, that was the first

1433
01:14:50,120 --> 01:14:53,040
Speaker 1: first win I had got there. But it was fun.

1434
01:14:53,160 --> 01:14:55,400
Speaker 1: I remember we played Texas Tech and it was it

1435
01:14:55,479 --> 01:14:58,120
Speaker 1: was super packed and the atmosphere was crazy. So I

1436
01:14:58,160 --> 01:15:01,320
Speaker 1: definitely know the fans here. They love football, definitely for

1437
01:15:01,360 --> 01:15:06,080
Speaker 1: a Texas team, So that was exciting and it just

1438
01:15:06,120 --> 01:15:08,599
Speaker 1: was a good time just being down Gromont teammatesment College

1439
01:15:08,600 --> 01:15:11,599
Speaker 1: and enjoying it going live through it. That's Eric Murray

1440
01:15:11,720 --> 01:15:15,559
Speaker 1: joining Drew Doherty and a lot more of that interview

1441
01:15:15,800 --> 01:15:17,840
Speaker 1: is up on Houston Texans dot com and Drew wrote

1442
01:15:17,840 --> 01:15:20,400
Speaker 1: about it as well because it was a longer conversation.

1443
01:15:20,520 --> 01:15:22,639
Speaker 1: They get into all sorts of stuff that Eric enjoys

1444
01:15:22,720 --> 01:15:25,599
Speaker 1: off the field as well. And you talked about him

1445
01:15:25,600 --> 01:15:27,720
Speaker 1: a ton in the opening segment, Johnny, when we were

1446
01:15:27,720 --> 01:15:31,360
Speaker 1: talking secondary and this is an X factor kind of player.

1447
01:15:31,439 --> 01:15:34,280
Speaker 1: I mean he plays. Well, what a pickup that was.

1448
01:15:34,760 --> 01:15:37,080
Speaker 1: Some people thought, well, is this enough at safety with

1449
01:15:37,200 --> 01:15:39,920
Speaker 1: Eric Murray, Michael Thomas, Jillen Watkins, whatever you brought in,

1450
01:15:39,960 --> 01:15:41,920
Speaker 1: does Lonnie move over? How you going to handle it?

1451
01:15:42,439 --> 01:15:46,000
Speaker 1: So far, so good? But you mentioned it. It's practice practice,

1452
01:15:46,280 --> 01:15:49,280
Speaker 1: and we got to see what happens in these games

1453
01:15:49,280 --> 01:15:54,080
Speaker 1: coming up. I'm so eager to see now, Clint Stirner highlighted,

1454
01:15:54,160 --> 01:15:56,680
Speaker 1: highlighted what you said, is possible that you open it

1455
01:15:56,720 --> 01:16:01,240
Speaker 1: up against the Chiefs with a seven defensive back alignment

1456
01:16:01,600 --> 01:16:04,320
Speaker 1: on that side of the football, when you're facing Pat

1457
01:16:04,360 --> 01:16:06,920
Speaker 1: Mahomes and company? Are you gonna? Are you calling your

1458
01:16:06,960 --> 01:16:10,400
Speaker 1: shot here? Is that your prediction opening? D oh? Okay,

1459
01:16:10,400 --> 01:16:14,280
Speaker 1: Well no, I I prefaced it by saying I know

1460
01:16:14,320 --> 01:16:16,160
Speaker 1: what I would I would try. I know what I

1461
01:16:16,160 --> 01:16:20,880
Speaker 1: would try and do, and that is I'm gonna dare

1462
01:16:21,400 --> 01:16:25,479
Speaker 1: Eric Eric Reid. I'm gonna dare Andy Reid and Eric

1463
01:16:25,520 --> 01:16:29,479
Speaker 1: b Enemy and Patrick Mahomes to run the ball. You

1464
01:16:29,479 --> 01:16:31,960
Speaker 1: can run the ball, come on, run it. I'm gonna

1465
01:16:31,960 --> 01:16:34,240
Speaker 1: play seven dbs. Now. I don't think the Texas ever

1466
01:16:34,280 --> 01:16:37,880
Speaker 1: played seven dbs that I can remember. Now, they've played six,

1467
01:16:38,680 --> 01:16:42,719
Speaker 1: and I could see them playing that a lot against

1468
01:16:42,760 --> 01:16:45,479
Speaker 1: Kansas City, and why not. But you know, if I'm

1469
01:16:45,520 --> 01:16:48,840
Speaker 1: defensivecording and I'm thinking, all right, I've added a lot

1470
01:16:48,880 --> 01:16:53,120
Speaker 1: of I've added over the last two years, for the

1471
01:16:53,160 --> 01:16:56,040
Speaker 1: last probably eighteen months, I've added a number of pieces

1472
01:16:56,080 --> 01:16:58,639
Speaker 1: at secondary. I've got Garant Conny, I got Bradley Roby,

1473
01:16:58,680 --> 01:17:01,639
Speaker 1: I've got Lonnie Johnson. Now, I've got Murray, I got Read.

1474
01:17:02,800 --> 01:17:05,559
Speaker 1: I've got some dudes that I've got Bradley Roby too.

1475
01:17:05,600 --> 01:17:07,559
Speaker 1: I mean, I've got some guys that have mentor John

1476
01:17:07,600 --> 01:17:11,000
Speaker 1: Reid in that mix, Vernon Hargraves. I've got a much

1477
01:17:11,720 --> 01:17:17,040
Speaker 1: deeper secondary than I've had in a long time. So

1478
01:17:17,080 --> 01:17:18,720
Speaker 1: I look at it from that perspective. I look at

1479
01:17:18,720 --> 01:17:22,000
Speaker 1: guys that have been in the NFL already, and then

1480
01:17:22,040 --> 01:17:24,920
Speaker 1: I think about how Kansas City plays and what Kansas

1481
01:17:24,960 --> 01:17:29,760
Speaker 1: City does, and Kansas City gets rolling throwing the football. Now,

1482
01:17:30,000 --> 01:17:32,559
Speaker 1: they'll have their moments when they run the ball. But

1483
01:17:33,040 --> 01:17:35,679
Speaker 1: you know that this goes back to our conversation earlier

1484
01:17:35,720 --> 01:17:39,839
Speaker 1: about Lonnie Johnson, because Lonnie is six two two fifteen,

1485
01:17:40,160 --> 01:17:43,519
Speaker 1: and Lonnie isn't scared of contact. In the slightest you

1486
01:17:43,800 --> 01:17:47,960
Speaker 1: can use him like a pretty serious chess piece. So

1487
01:17:48,200 --> 01:17:50,360
Speaker 1: if you're gonna, if you're gonna beat the Chiefs, you

1488
01:17:50,520 --> 01:17:52,320
Speaker 1: sort of have to fight fire with fire. If they're

1489
01:17:52,320 --> 01:17:54,680
Speaker 1: gonna roll a bunch of speed out there, when you've

1490
01:17:54,720 --> 01:17:57,200
Speaker 1: got to roll a bunch of speed out there, and

1491
01:17:57,600 --> 01:18:00,400
Speaker 1: that's the way that you're gonna have to for them.

1492
01:18:00,400 --> 01:18:02,720
Speaker 1: So that was kind of my point. And I have

1493
01:18:02,920 --> 01:18:06,000
Speaker 1: no Listen, I played defensive back. You can throw eleven

1494
01:18:06,080 --> 01:18:07,880
Speaker 1: dbs out there, but I don't want to be crazy.

1495
01:18:07,960 --> 01:18:11,280
Speaker 1: So let's put seven, get your get your best three

1496
01:18:11,280 --> 01:18:15,479
Speaker 1: man front that you have, get your best athletes on

1497
01:18:15,560 --> 01:18:18,719
Speaker 1: the field as much as humanly possible, and then match

1498
01:18:18,840 --> 01:18:21,840
Speaker 1: up with good athletes. Because one thing that I always

1499
01:18:21,840 --> 01:18:24,200
Speaker 1: worry about with the Chiefs is they'll show you certain

1500
01:18:24,240 --> 01:18:26,680
Speaker 1: personnel and then the motion and running back out and

1501
01:18:26,720 --> 01:18:28,320
Speaker 1: you're like, all right, well, I got a linebacker, run

1502
01:18:28,439 --> 01:18:30,680
Speaker 1: that guy. But what if that running back motions out

1503
01:18:30,680 --> 01:18:33,559
Speaker 1: and you have Lonnie covering him? You feel a little better.

1504
01:18:33,840 --> 01:18:36,559
Speaker 1: I do not to said Zach Cunningham. Does you know

1505
01:18:36,640 --> 01:18:41,160
Speaker 1: can't cover running backs? But I would much rather Zach

1506
01:18:41,560 --> 01:18:46,360
Speaker 1: maybe spy or rush or drop to help some crossers underneath.

1507
01:18:46,800 --> 01:18:49,400
Speaker 1: That kind of thing. I got no problem playing seven

1508
01:18:49,479 --> 01:18:52,240
Speaker 1: dbs and that, and like I said, never seen the

1509
01:18:52,280 --> 01:18:55,880
Speaker 1: Texans do it. But to beat the Chiefs, I think

1510
01:18:55,920 --> 01:18:58,960
Speaker 1: you have to be a little different. You're gonna be

1511
01:18:58,960 --> 01:19:01,240
Speaker 1: a little different, you really do. You can't just sit

1512
01:19:01,280 --> 01:19:03,640
Speaker 1: there and play. Well, we'll play our subpackage nickel and

1513
01:19:03,640 --> 01:19:06,080
Speaker 1: then you know, see, you know we could You know

1514
01:19:06,120 --> 01:19:07,840
Speaker 1: we can still stop the wrong nickel. Well, I think

1515
01:19:07,840 --> 01:19:11,320
Speaker 1: you'll still be able to stop their run with whatever

1516
01:19:11,360 --> 01:19:14,360
Speaker 1: seventy bs is. Is that dollar or a half dollars

1517
01:19:14,400 --> 01:19:16,160
Speaker 1: or whatever? I don't know. I think you'll still be

1518
01:19:16,160 --> 01:19:18,559
Speaker 1: able to stop the run because you're gonna be hitting

1519
01:19:18,600 --> 01:19:20,720
Speaker 1: it with a bunch of fast defensive backs getting up

1520
01:19:20,760 --> 01:19:23,559
Speaker 1: there and filling the run gaps. Then you would maybe

1521
01:19:23,720 --> 01:19:26,640
Speaker 1: other linebackers or whatever the case might be. So I

1522
01:19:26,640 --> 01:19:28,680
Speaker 1: don't know. I threw that out there as a possibility

1523
01:19:28,720 --> 01:19:30,840
Speaker 1: because it's something I've thought about a lot, and I

1524
01:19:30,920 --> 01:19:33,760
Speaker 1: often think what would I do? How would I go

1525
01:19:33,800 --> 01:19:37,240
Speaker 1: about doing this? Now? I know that I don't have

1526
01:19:37,680 --> 01:19:40,120
Speaker 1: near as much knowledge as the guys that sit up

1527
01:19:40,160 --> 01:19:42,240
Speaker 1: there and get paid to do this, but I also

1528
01:19:42,280 --> 01:19:44,280
Speaker 1: have two eyes of following this game for a long time,

1529
01:19:44,320 --> 01:19:47,720
Speaker 1: and I know that to beat the Chiefs, that I

1530
01:19:47,760 --> 01:19:50,080
Speaker 1: think is one way to do it. And also you

1531
01:19:50,120 --> 01:19:51,960
Speaker 1: play the Ravens in next week. And how did the

1532
01:19:52,040 --> 01:19:56,880
Speaker 1: Chargers go about beating the Ravens that week? What did

1533
01:19:56,880 --> 01:19:59,200
Speaker 1: they do in that game against the Ravens in the

1534
01:19:59,560 --> 01:20:03,320
Speaker 1: wild card round? They played how many dbs seven? They

1535
01:20:03,320 --> 01:20:06,040
Speaker 1: put ingram on one side, they put both on the other,

1536
01:20:06,120 --> 01:20:09,400
Speaker 1: and he took two safety Julia die and Michael Phillips

1537
01:20:09,479 --> 01:20:12,200
Speaker 1: and put them inside linebacker. But they could get after

1538
01:20:12,280 --> 01:20:14,840
Speaker 1: the quarterback. But they could get after the quarterback, and

1539
01:20:14,920 --> 01:20:17,120
Speaker 1: they could get off the quarterback with their edge guys.

1540
01:20:17,640 --> 01:20:20,160
Speaker 1: And they also used to die in Phillips that when

1541
01:20:20,320 --> 01:20:22,360
Speaker 1: Lamar did go back to pass, they used them on

1542
01:20:22,400 --> 01:20:25,000
Speaker 1: some blitz on occasion. And there's no question Lamar is

1543
01:20:25,040 --> 01:20:26,640
Speaker 1: a better passer now than he was then at the

1544
01:20:26,720 --> 01:20:28,599
Speaker 1: end of its rookie year. But you get my point,

1545
01:20:28,680 --> 01:20:31,960
Speaker 1: it's not it's not I mean, who would you what

1546
01:20:32,040 --> 01:20:36,080
Speaker 1: would you rather have Mahomes throw thirty five times or

1547
01:20:36,400 --> 01:20:40,240
Speaker 1: Clyde Edwards Julaire run at thirty times? Well, if he's

1548
01:20:40,320 --> 01:20:43,519
Speaker 1: running it thirty times, they're successful running it, you know, maybe,

1549
01:20:44,040 --> 01:20:45,920
Speaker 1: But I know what you're saying. Now, Let me throw

1550
01:20:45,920 --> 01:20:48,679
Speaker 1: this at you. The Chiefs are a little banged up, right.

1551
01:20:49,160 --> 01:20:51,719
Speaker 1: Not only did they have the opt outs with the doctor,

1552
01:20:51,880 --> 01:20:55,559
Speaker 1: Laurent DuVernay, Tardif and Damian Williams decided to opt out,

1553
01:20:56,040 --> 01:20:59,240
Speaker 1: but Bashad Breland out a couple of games. Mike penell

1554
01:20:59,400 --> 01:21:03,400
Speaker 1: Or at games, right, Mike Pennel out a couple of games.

1555
01:21:04,600 --> 01:21:08,519
Speaker 1: That's nice. I mean, he's a DT this is nice,

1556
01:21:08,760 --> 01:21:11,120
Speaker 1: and I mean I'm sorry that they're hurt. Okay, but

1557
01:21:11,200 --> 01:21:14,519
Speaker 1: this is sports. I'm just going no, no, they're not.

1558
01:21:14,720 --> 01:21:16,600
Speaker 1: I'm sorry that they're out. Okay. Well, it's nice for

1559
01:21:16,640 --> 01:21:19,240
Speaker 1: the Texans, that's right, But other guys are hurt. Um

1560
01:21:19,439 --> 01:21:24,840
Speaker 1: Tyreek Hill has a hamstring situation. Um Alex Okaf hurt.

1561
01:21:24,960 --> 01:21:28,559
Speaker 1: Wan Thornhill banged up, trying to work his way back in.

1562
01:21:29,120 --> 01:21:32,920
Speaker 1: They've got some interesting little issues and that Hill hamstring,

1563
01:21:33,040 --> 01:21:35,439
Speaker 1: although I'm not gonna put too much into that because

1564
01:21:35,600 --> 01:21:37,880
Speaker 1: he was coming back from injury against the Houston Texans

1565
01:21:37,880 --> 01:21:40,200
Speaker 1: and caught two touchdowns in the game the Texans actually

1566
01:21:40,200 --> 01:21:44,120
Speaker 1: one in October at Arrowhead Stadium. So look, I'm not

1567
01:21:44,840 --> 01:21:47,800
Speaker 1: I'm refusing to celebrate injuries. I know, I kind of

1568
01:21:47,840 --> 01:21:51,719
Speaker 1: just but I'm looking at them taking some dents here,

1569
01:21:51,880 --> 01:21:55,000
Speaker 1: and any help you can get in that department would

1570
01:21:55,000 --> 01:21:58,400
Speaker 1: be welcome. Yeah, there's no question. You know. I texted

1571
01:21:58,439 --> 01:22:00,960
Speaker 1: you last night about the Mike Penel one. I know

1572
01:22:01,000 --> 01:22:03,680
Speaker 1: it's a name. You're like, Mike Penel. We don't know him,

1573
01:22:03,720 --> 01:22:06,200
Speaker 1: Mike Penel. I have no idea. I remember Mike Penel

1574
01:22:06,240 --> 01:22:09,320
Speaker 1: because when he's played against the Texans, he's done an

1575
01:22:09,320 --> 01:22:12,439
Speaker 1: excellent job. And last year, I want to say he

1576
01:22:13,000 --> 01:22:15,200
Speaker 1: didn't play in Week six, like I don't think we

1577
01:22:15,280 --> 01:22:18,360
Speaker 1: faced him in Week six, but when they didn't have

1578
01:22:18,520 --> 01:22:22,200
Speaker 1: Chris Jones in the playoff game, he got a lot

1579
01:22:22,240 --> 01:22:24,479
Speaker 1: more playing time because I want to say he got

1580
01:22:24,520 --> 01:22:26,920
Speaker 1: to them later in the year than I remember. Now,

1581
01:22:26,920 --> 01:22:28,439
Speaker 1: I could be I could be wrong in that, but

1582
01:22:29,240 --> 01:22:33,800
Speaker 1: in that playoff game, I remember we struggled and there

1583
01:22:33,800 --> 01:22:36,160
Speaker 1: were a few times where he was a big factor

1584
01:22:36,680 --> 01:22:40,840
Speaker 1: on some short runs. I'm just looking at the roster now. Yeah,

1585
01:22:40,880 --> 01:22:44,479
Speaker 1: I don't think he was there, and so he wasn't there,

1586
01:22:44,520 --> 01:22:46,920
Speaker 1: But in the playoff game he made a couple of

1587
01:22:47,000 --> 01:22:49,479
Speaker 1: really big plays. In the Super Bowl, he made a

1588
01:22:49,520 --> 01:22:51,960
Speaker 1: play hit in Jimmy Garoppolo's arm that I think ended

1589
01:22:52,040 --> 01:22:54,479
Speaker 1: up being either an incomplete pass of the key time

1590
01:22:54,640 --> 01:22:59,160
Speaker 1: or an interception. He's tough, so he's one of their

1591
01:22:59,200 --> 01:23:02,320
Speaker 1: best interior players. So he's out for two games. Rashad

1592
01:23:02,400 --> 01:23:05,000
Speaker 1: Breelan's is starting corner for them. He's out for four games.

1593
01:23:05,120 --> 01:23:06,880
Speaker 1: So you're not facing any one of those. You took

1594
01:23:07,520 --> 01:23:10,840
Speaker 1: the good doctors out and Damian Williams, their best running

1595
01:23:10,840 --> 01:23:14,720
Speaker 1: back is out. So again I go, I go back

1596
01:23:14,760 --> 01:23:17,680
Speaker 1: to that thought of Yeah, the the crux of that

1597
01:23:17,840 --> 01:23:21,160
Speaker 1: roster is still the same, and they try not only

1598
01:23:21,200 --> 01:23:24,040
Speaker 1: to out scheme you, but our athlete. You well, don't

1599
01:23:24,120 --> 01:23:26,840
Speaker 1: let them. Don't let don't let them do that. And

1600
01:23:26,880 --> 01:23:28,439
Speaker 1: see if maybe I don't know, you come up with

1601
01:23:28,439 --> 01:23:30,320
Speaker 1: a blueprint for how you're gonna stop some of those

1602
01:23:30,360 --> 01:23:33,880
Speaker 1: teams that want to go at megaspeed, Well gotta gotta

1603
01:23:34,080 --> 01:23:37,200
Speaker 1: match up with it. And it's look, I don't I'm

1604
01:23:37,200 --> 01:23:40,639
Speaker 1: not telling you that's what they're gonna do. But if

1605
01:23:40,680 --> 01:23:42,760
Speaker 1: I could find a way to do that, hey, gay,

1606
01:23:42,920 --> 01:23:45,360
Speaker 1: do that absolutely. Look that's where the game is going.

1607
01:23:45,479 --> 01:23:49,000
Speaker 1: Look around college football, there are teams playing sixty bs

1608
01:23:49,280 --> 01:23:54,360
Speaker 1: with regularity. In college football. It's bleeding up. It's it's

1609
01:23:54,439 --> 01:23:56,960
Speaker 1: bleeding up, because teams are you know what, we use

1610
01:23:57,040 --> 01:23:59,200
Speaker 1: all fifty three and a half yards of this field

1611
01:23:59,800 --> 01:24:03,400
Speaker 1: all the way, and so you got to match us

1612
01:24:03,439 --> 01:24:05,519
Speaker 1: all the way, and especially with the hash is so tight,

1613
01:24:05,840 --> 01:24:09,120
Speaker 1: you better have some dudes that can run against teams

1614
01:24:09,120 --> 01:24:11,599
Speaker 1: that have got some speed. So I wouldn't be surprised

1615
01:24:11,600 --> 01:24:15,240
Speaker 1: to see them pull out packages that look way different

1616
01:24:15,560 --> 01:24:19,120
Speaker 1: than what we have seen the Texans in before. All right,

1617
01:24:19,160 --> 01:24:22,440
Speaker 1: coming up, Let's get to some of these power rankings, predictions,

1618
01:24:22,560 --> 01:24:27,719
Speaker 1: prognostications and I'll debunk some. I'll see where they're coming

1619
01:24:27,880 --> 01:24:30,400
Speaker 1: from on some others. But we'll dive into that a

1620
01:24:30,439 --> 01:24:32,680
Speaker 1: little bit. We have Landry's cap questions. We got a

1621
01:24:32,720 --> 01:24:36,519
Speaker 1: whole lot of stuff. I mentioned the scrimmage situation. What

1622
01:24:36,760 --> 01:24:39,960
Speaker 1: is my all time Texans scrimmage memory? And no it's

1623
01:24:39,960 --> 01:24:41,720
Speaker 1: not the Dolphins one that I brought up the other night.

1624

Speaker 1: Johnny as Amy Palsick, the communications vice president for the Texans,

1726
01:30:53,640 --> 01:30:56,920
Speaker 1: just tweeted out the Texans will close the stadium at

1727
01:30:56,920 --> 01:31:00,840
Speaker 1: two thirty today to ensure everyone gets home safely. With

1728
01:31:00,880 --> 01:31:03,559
Speaker 1: the threat of Hurricane Laura looming. The team will meet

1729
01:31:03,640 --> 01:31:07,120
Speaker 1: virtually on Thursday morning and reassess if it is safe

1730
01:31:07,160 --> 01:31:11,080
Speaker 1: to come back for the scrimmage scheduled for Thursday evening.

1731
01:31:11,560 --> 01:31:13,760
Speaker 1: So they'll take a look, they'll see how bad it is.

1732
01:31:14,479 --> 01:31:16,880
Speaker 1: You don't know until you know. Laura projected to what

1733
01:31:17,080 --> 01:31:20,880
Speaker 1: hit basically the Texas Louisiana border, and you're on the

1734
01:31:20,920 --> 01:31:23,519
Speaker 1: so called clean side of the hurricane, but that doesn't

1735
01:31:23,520 --> 01:31:28,400
Speaker 1: mean anything is less damaging potentially anyway on this side

1736
01:31:28,400 --> 01:31:30,439
Speaker 1: of things. And we'll see how it goes in the

1737
01:31:30,439 --> 01:31:33,280
Speaker 1: city of Houston. And of course many people who are

1738
01:31:33,360 --> 01:31:36,200
Speaker 1: in the direct line are in our listening areas, so

1739
01:31:36,240 --> 01:31:39,080
Speaker 1: our prayers go out to you, and we're praying for

1740
01:31:39,120 --> 01:31:42,799
Speaker 1: safety and that it somehow fizzles out, Marco, I guess,

1741
01:31:43,120 --> 01:31:45,280
Speaker 1: but that's not going to happen with this one. This

1742
01:31:45,320 --> 01:31:49,240
Speaker 1: one's really barreling down. We'll see how everything goes. But

1743
01:31:49,280 --> 01:31:52,800
Speaker 1: the Texans might still scrimmage tomorrow night, might not. We'll see.

1744
01:31:52,840 --> 01:31:55,479
Speaker 1: We'll be ready for anything on this program. You can

1745
01:31:55,560 --> 01:32:00,600
Speaker 1: bit on that. Okay, let's get to this now. You know,

1746
01:32:00,640 --> 01:32:03,120
Speaker 1: I found this interesting because I was going through and

1747
01:32:03,240 --> 01:32:05,120
Speaker 1: I don't know why I do this, Johnny. I took

1748
01:32:05,120 --> 01:32:07,720
Speaker 1: the bait on the ESPN Power rankings and who's on

1749
01:32:07,760 --> 01:32:10,280
Speaker 1: the hot seat for each team? And all right, I know,

1750
01:32:10,479 --> 01:32:12,320
Speaker 1: but I want to go right to the Colts here

1751
01:32:12,400 --> 01:32:15,800
Speaker 1: because this obviously directly affects the Texans. You play them

1752
01:32:15,840 --> 01:32:19,639
Speaker 1: twice there, your nemesis, and they had the hot seat

1753
01:32:19,680 --> 01:32:21,880
Speaker 1: going to Marlon Mack and they say he shouldn't be

1754
01:32:21,920 --> 01:32:25,160
Speaker 1: based on his production last year, but they didn't pick

1755
01:32:25,240 --> 01:32:28,240
Speaker 1: up his fifth year option. They drafted Jonathan Taylor. I

1756
01:32:28,320 --> 01:32:30,639
Speaker 1: think the not picking up of the fifth year option

1757
01:32:30,680 --> 01:32:33,160
Speaker 1: of Mac is a bit of a surprise. It's not

1758
01:32:33,200 --> 01:32:37,080
Speaker 1: like you're signing him to a long term, really expensive deal, Johnny.

1759
01:32:37,320 --> 01:32:41,080
Speaker 1: It's a fifth year option, and that's his rookie deal

1760
01:32:41,479 --> 01:32:43,680
Speaker 1: and he's Marlon Mack. He's really good for them. I'm

1761
01:32:43,680 --> 01:32:46,400
Speaker 1: surprised they didn't do it. Now, I get drafting Jonathan Taylor,

1762
01:32:46,400 --> 01:32:49,280
Speaker 1: but until Taylor does it in an NFL uniform, there's

1763
01:32:49,280 --> 01:32:52,240
Speaker 1: no guarantee here. So what are your thoughts on Mac

1764
01:32:52,280 --> 01:32:55,080
Speaker 1: no fifth year option in the Colts running game? Well,

1765
01:32:55,320 --> 01:32:58,080
Speaker 1: Mac wasn't the first year or I'm sorry, it wasn't

1766
01:32:58,080 --> 01:33:01,800
Speaker 1: a first round pick. So I mean, as far as

1767
01:33:01,920 --> 01:33:04,200
Speaker 1: you know his fifth year option goes, maybe maybe they're

1768
01:33:04,200 --> 01:33:07,640
Speaker 1: talking about extending him because he wouldn't he wouldn't have

1769
01:33:07,920 --> 01:33:11,320
Speaker 1: fifty option. Who wronged this? Oh my gosh, I just

1770
01:33:11,360 --> 01:33:17,840
Speaker 1: got I just got caught here. But yeah, yeah, so

1771
01:33:17,960 --> 01:33:21,360
Speaker 1: I think maybe what they're getting at is, and I

1772
01:33:21,360 --> 01:33:25,160
Speaker 1: think this is seventeen eighteen, nineteen twenty. Yeah, you didn't

1773
01:33:25,160 --> 01:33:27,679
Speaker 1: extend him, So he's going into the final year of

1774
01:33:27,760 --> 01:33:30,640
Speaker 1: his four year contract, which i'd imagine he got. You know,

1775
01:33:30,680 --> 01:33:33,559
Speaker 1: there was no option. Yeah, there was no option. So

1776
01:33:33,880 --> 01:33:36,960
Speaker 1: he so basically he's going into his fourth year and

1777
01:33:37,000 --> 01:33:39,599
Speaker 1: they didn't extext him and which is kind of the

1778
01:33:39,640 --> 01:33:42,200
Speaker 1: concept of a fifth year option, but just technically that's

1779
01:33:42,240 --> 01:33:45,479
Speaker 1: just not either way. Uh, plaice work, ESPN. But bad

1780
01:33:45,479 --> 01:33:47,960
Speaker 1: work by me for not remembering that. But thank you

1781
01:33:48,120 --> 01:33:50,559
Speaker 1: Mark being here. But the thing about it is Marlon

1782
01:33:50,720 --> 01:33:56,400
Speaker 1: Mack and Jonathan Mac actually scares me more now because

1783
01:33:56,439 --> 01:33:59,240
Speaker 1: they have Jonathan Taylor that they can keep both of

1784
01:33:59,240 --> 01:34:03,479
Speaker 1: those guys healthy and fresh. And I worried more about

1785
01:34:03,520 --> 01:34:06,320
Speaker 1: them from that perspective than I would if it was

1786
01:34:06,360 --> 01:34:09,799
Speaker 1: just one of them. And look Marlin in that playoff

1787
01:34:09,840 --> 01:34:13,600
Speaker 1: game against US in twenty eighteen. Oh, I mean he

1788
01:34:13,800 --> 01:34:17,320
Speaker 1: was he was hard to tackle. I remember the only

1789
01:34:17,400 --> 01:34:21,880
Speaker 1: thing that I remember from Week seventeen in twenty seventeen.

1790
01:34:21,920 --> 01:34:23,840
Speaker 1: There were two things. Obviously we found out the news

1791
01:34:24,200 --> 01:34:26,840
Speaker 1: about Rick Smith stepping away to be with his ailing wife.

1792
01:34:27,439 --> 01:34:30,280
Speaker 1: The other thing I remember in that game. I don't

1793
01:34:30,280 --> 01:34:32,400
Speaker 1: remember any other player or anything else that happened in

1794
01:34:32,439 --> 01:34:36,400
Speaker 1: that game except that Marlin Mack ran and bounced a

1795
01:34:36,520 --> 01:34:39,400
Speaker 1: run to the outside and he stiff armed Clowney to

1796
01:34:39,439 --> 01:34:41,879
Speaker 1: the ground. And I went, well, he was a rookie,

1797
01:34:42,120 --> 01:34:47,240
Speaker 1: and I went, yeah, oh, holy smokes. So and I

1798
01:34:47,280 --> 01:34:49,719
Speaker 1: felt like coming out of college that Mac was gonna

1799
01:34:49,760 --> 01:34:52,240
Speaker 1: be a problem for some for something. He's gonna be

1800
01:34:52,280 --> 01:34:54,680
Speaker 1: a nice fit. I didn't think he would ever be

1801
01:34:54,840 --> 01:34:57,479
Speaker 1: like the bona fide number one. But I thought the

1802
01:34:57,560 --> 01:35:00,479
Speaker 1: role he would play and being a pretty strong number

1803
01:35:00,479 --> 01:35:04,559
Speaker 1: two back was or almost a one B if you will,

1804
01:35:04,880 --> 01:35:06,600
Speaker 1: was gonna be the perfect role. Well that's what he is.

1805
01:35:06,600 --> 01:35:08,720
Speaker 1: Now He's one A, Taylor's one B. And now I'll

1806
01:35:08,720 --> 01:35:11,000
Speaker 1: probably flipped throughout the year because I think Taylor's just

1807
01:35:11,120 --> 01:35:14,360
Speaker 1: overall better back. But they can kind of go back

1808
01:35:14,400 --> 01:35:17,519
Speaker 1: and forth with that. I mean, Marlin mac beeing on

1809
01:35:17,520 --> 01:35:19,720
Speaker 1: a hot seat, Yeah, I don't know about that. I

1810
01:35:19,720 --> 01:35:22,120
Speaker 1: would think Mollie Cooker is more on. Mollie Cooker is

1811
01:35:22,160 --> 01:35:25,720
Speaker 1: more on a hot seat because he did not get

1812
01:35:25,800 --> 01:35:28,519
Speaker 1: his fifth year option exercise. And he's a guy on

1813
01:35:28,640 --> 01:35:33,599
Speaker 1: defense that has not come along as people expected him too.

1814
01:35:33,640 --> 01:35:35,760
Speaker 1: And I know, I know Ballard drafted him thinking this

1815
01:35:35,840 --> 01:35:37,759
Speaker 1: guy's perfect. He plays in the middle of the field,

1816
01:35:37,840 --> 01:35:40,400
Speaker 1: he's got tremendous ball skills in range, but they just

1817
01:35:40,439 --> 01:35:42,360
Speaker 1: really haven't had that. And then he got banged up

1818
01:35:42,400 --> 01:35:44,400
Speaker 1: either last year or the year before, and that's kind

1819
01:35:44,400 --> 01:35:47,320
Speaker 1: of slowed his progress a little bit. But I think

1820
01:35:47,320 --> 01:35:48,960
Speaker 1: Marlon mack run me out of that line. It's got

1821
01:35:48,960 --> 01:35:51,280
Speaker 1: to be thrilled and for him and I heard this.

1822
01:35:51,439 --> 01:35:53,360
Speaker 1: I can't remember where I heard it, but I heard

1823
01:35:53,400 --> 01:35:55,639
Speaker 1: him interviewed and he said, look, Jonathan Taylor's a beast,

1824
01:35:55,880 --> 01:35:57,360
Speaker 1: and the two of us are gonna be a problem.

1825
01:35:57,400 --> 01:35:59,960
Speaker 1: And I just went, yep, you're gonna be can't wait?

1826
01:36:00,840 --> 01:36:02,680
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, I don't really want to face that, but

1827
01:36:03,320 --> 01:36:05,840
Speaker 1: you know, again, you would go back to our conversation

1828
01:36:06,000 --> 01:36:07,960
Speaker 1: of last segment, and if you check your phone, I

1829
01:36:08,000 --> 01:36:10,640
Speaker 1: sent you a little something. But I think the Texans,

1830
01:36:11,200 --> 01:36:14,880
Speaker 1: because they've got some chess pieces. Defensively, they've got different

1831
01:36:14,920 --> 01:36:17,679
Speaker 1: ways to attack different teams, and no way, shape or former.

1832
01:36:17,760 --> 01:36:22,240
Speaker 1: You're gonna play seven seven dbs against the Colts, but

1833
01:36:22,360 --> 01:36:25,280
Speaker 1: you might play seven defense or seven front seven guys

1834
01:36:25,320 --> 01:36:28,639
Speaker 1: like you may play more bass stuff against the Colts.

1835
01:36:30,120 --> 01:36:34,559
Speaker 1: Have you seen this lineup in practice? What did I said?

1836
01:36:34,600 --> 01:36:38,120
Speaker 1: You give it? Yeah? No, I made that up. Okay, no,

1837
01:36:38,200 --> 01:36:40,840
Speaker 1: of course not. I made that up. Man, I made

1838
01:36:40,840 --> 01:36:44,880
Speaker 1: that up. Bad scientists. I mean, I mean, I don't

1839
01:36:44,920 --> 01:36:46,280
Speaker 1: know that I can be in it all the time,

1840
01:36:46,320 --> 01:36:49,479
Speaker 1: but I kind of like what I have. Yeah, I know,

1841
01:36:49,560 --> 01:36:52,960
Speaker 1: I mean you've got to rearrange the rearrange the deck

1842
01:36:53,000 --> 01:36:55,880
Speaker 1: a little bit yet, But I mean, just kind of

1843
01:36:55,920 --> 01:36:58,479
Speaker 1: just throwing it thrown it down based on what based

1844
01:36:58,520 --> 01:37:01,360
Speaker 1: on what the alignments are, you know, what informations you

1845
01:37:01,439 --> 01:37:04,519
Speaker 1: get from the Chiefs. Yeah, I mean you look at it,

1846
01:37:04,520 --> 01:37:06,120
Speaker 1: and you look at the personnel I have out there,

1847
01:37:06,640 --> 01:37:08,200
Speaker 1: it makes a little bit of sense. And the thing

1848
01:37:08,240 --> 01:37:11,400
Speaker 1: about it is the next week you play the Ravens,

1849
01:37:11,560 --> 01:37:14,760
Speaker 1: that may completely not be your approach, may not be

1850
01:37:14,760 --> 01:37:16,759
Speaker 1: your approach. And then when you play the Coulture definitely

1851
01:37:16,840 --> 01:37:18,920
Speaker 1: is not your approach because you're gonna get hit with

1852
01:37:18,960 --> 01:37:20,760
Speaker 1: those big fellas up front and then you're gonna get

1853
01:37:20,800 --> 01:37:25,040
Speaker 1: hit with those two big old backs. So game plan defense, yeah, absolutely,

1854
01:37:25,040 --> 01:37:28,639
Speaker 1: And I think I think this year the game plan,

1855
01:37:28,880 --> 01:37:33,880
Speaker 1: the personnel is more flexible to be able to run

1856
01:37:34,000 --> 01:37:36,000
Speaker 1: more of a game plan defense than maybe what we've

1857
01:37:36,040 --> 01:37:39,360
Speaker 1: been in the past. All Right, So with the Texans,

1858
01:37:39,479 --> 01:37:42,360
Speaker 1: they had the hot seat go to Will Fuller. I

1859
01:37:42,400 --> 01:37:46,439
Speaker 1: get it, the injuries year five, playing the option. You know,

1860
01:37:46,479 --> 01:37:49,000
Speaker 1: if he has a hundred catches and a billion yards,

1861
01:37:49,680 --> 01:37:52,120
Speaker 1: he deserves a big contract. Are they gonna give it

1862
01:37:52,120 --> 01:37:53,800
Speaker 1: to him here? Is he gonna go somewhere? He'll be

1863
01:37:53,840 --> 01:37:56,280
Speaker 1: a free agent, you know, So they could franchise him

1864
01:37:56,960 --> 01:37:59,200
Speaker 1: and that could be an option for them as well. Look,

1865
01:37:59,240 --> 01:38:01,760
Speaker 1: that'd be a luxury problem. You know. If it's not

1866
01:38:01,800 --> 01:38:04,120
Speaker 1: a problem. Will has a huge season like that, you're

1867
01:38:04,160 --> 01:38:07,479
Speaker 1: successful because you have so much other talent around him.

1868
01:38:07,520 --> 01:38:09,719
Speaker 1: They're all gonna be successful too, with all the attention

1869
01:38:09,720 --> 01:38:12,479
Speaker 1: he's gonna draw. Are you kidding me? It's gonna be great.

1870
01:38:12,520 --> 01:38:15,519
Speaker 1: So let's hope Will has that kind of season. But

1871
01:38:15,680 --> 01:38:18,120
Speaker 1: I think the national narrative about the Texans, I mean,

1872
01:38:18,160 --> 01:38:21,280
Speaker 1: obviously everybody remembers the Hopkins deal and they can't get

1873
01:38:21,320 --> 01:38:23,519
Speaker 1: past it. A lot of people just can't get over it.

1874
01:38:23,600 --> 01:38:26,920
Speaker 1: You know, you gotta move on, and believe me, the coaches,

1875
01:38:27,000 --> 01:38:31,800
Speaker 1: the players, they've moved on. I get it. I loved him, okay,

1876
01:38:31,840 --> 01:38:34,479
Speaker 1: but look at what you brought it, Look what you

1877
01:38:34,560 --> 01:38:36,400
Speaker 1: have now. You and I have the advantage of watching

1878
01:38:36,400 --> 01:38:38,800
Speaker 1: this stuff every day and we can see what they're

1879
01:38:39,080 --> 01:38:42,760
Speaker 1: working on here, and it's really enticing. So I just

1880
01:38:42,800 --> 01:38:45,599
Speaker 1: don't think the fans are gonna Maybe some of them are,

1881
01:38:45,720 --> 01:38:47,080
Speaker 1: maybe a lot of them are. I don't know, but

1882
01:38:47,160 --> 01:38:50,559
Speaker 1: I think that the majority will be one over on

1883
01:38:50,600 --> 01:38:54,040
Speaker 1: this when they see the results. And if you don't

1884
01:38:54,080 --> 01:38:56,360
Speaker 1: see the results, you don't see the results. I mean, okay,

1885
01:38:56,479 --> 01:39:01,240
Speaker 1: but early on, I think offensively, there's no reason why

1886
01:39:01,280 --> 01:39:05,120
Speaker 1: this team can't have success early. I think defensively, you know,

1887
01:39:05,160 --> 01:39:07,720
Speaker 1: we talk about mid season form and everything. You know,

1888
01:39:07,800 --> 01:39:09,840
Speaker 1: this could be a bit of a work in progress.

1889
01:39:09,920 --> 01:39:11,600
Speaker 1: But you know, you're just gonna have to find a

1890
01:39:11,640 --> 01:39:15,479
Speaker 1: way to grind out games, to win games to how

1891
01:39:15,520 --> 01:39:18,720
Speaker 1: about this Johnny outscore the opponent. No, but look look

1892
01:39:18,720 --> 01:39:20,360
Speaker 1: at the how they won some of those games down

1893
01:39:20,400 --> 01:39:24,120
Speaker 1: to stretch last year. Three point wins the Colts, the Titans,

1894
01:39:24,400 --> 01:39:27,040
Speaker 1: the close game against Tampa Bay sort of, I mean

1895
01:39:27,080 --> 01:39:29,519
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay backdoored a little bit, the close game, and

1896
01:39:29,520 --> 01:39:31,439
Speaker 1: the playoffs against Buffalo. You're gonna get some of that

1897
01:39:31,479 --> 01:39:33,040
Speaker 1: if you're gonna win some of these early games, because

1898
01:39:33,080 --> 01:39:36,080
Speaker 1: these teams are just too good. Yeah, in the Texas

1899
01:39:36,120 --> 01:39:38,080
Speaker 1: have found ways to win games. I mean twenty seventeen

1900
01:39:38,120 --> 01:39:40,200
Speaker 1: was the one year they did, and obviously everything went

1901
01:39:40,240 --> 01:39:44,040
Speaker 1: south that year with injuries and DeShawn got down halfway

1902
01:39:44,160 --> 01:39:46,840
Speaker 1: the year. So but they've they've found a way to win,

1903
01:39:47,120 --> 01:39:49,639
Speaker 1: you know, close games in fifteen and sixteen and eighteen

1904
01:39:49,640 --> 01:39:52,120
Speaker 1: and nineteen. I mean, they found ways and I would read,

1905
01:39:52,200 --> 01:39:55,040
Speaker 1: you know, every year. You know, analysts are like, well,

1906
01:39:55,040 --> 01:39:58,040
Speaker 1: what team that finished first will find ended up finished last?

1907
01:39:58,080 --> 01:40:00,840
Speaker 1: And a lot of people put the with the Texans

1908
01:40:00,960 --> 01:40:02,920
Speaker 1: or will not make the playoffs, and they're like, oh,

1909
01:40:02,960 --> 01:40:05,800
Speaker 1: you know, they highlight the one score games, and it's like, look,

1910
01:40:05,840 --> 01:40:07,880
Speaker 1: if you've done it for out of five years, even

1911
01:40:07,880 --> 01:40:12,679
Speaker 1: twenty fourteen, when you've won close ball games, like, does

1912
01:40:12,720 --> 01:40:16,160
Speaker 1: that not start becoming a trend that you continue to

1913
01:40:16,360 --> 01:40:18,400
Speaker 1: do that and win close ball games. Look, we talked

1914
01:40:18,400 --> 01:40:21,599
Speaker 1: about the Packers last night and you and I did

1915
01:40:21,640 --> 01:40:23,400
Speaker 1: my know your phone and you brought up their stats

1916
01:40:23,400 --> 01:40:25,639
Speaker 1: and their stats you look at them and go, well,

1917
01:40:25,640 --> 01:40:27,280
Speaker 1: that would be a middle of the pack team. That

1918
01:40:27,360 --> 01:40:30,439
Speaker 1: team went thirteen and three. Why turnovers found a way

1919
01:40:30,439 --> 01:40:34,040
Speaker 1: to win games? And turnovers and turnover Martin's massive, that's

1920
01:40:34,080 --> 01:40:36,280
Speaker 1: the biggest stat shotting. The Texans were dead even in

1921
01:40:36,320 --> 01:40:38,559
Speaker 1: turnover margin and that can't happen this year. You gotta

1922
01:40:38,600 --> 01:40:42,840
Speaker 1: get in the plus category significantly. Next up, Landry's camp questions.

2026
01:46:55,240 --> 01:46:57,240
Speaker 1: to call it. And I gotta tell you, guys, a

2027
01:46:57,280 --> 01:46:59,559
Speaker 1: lot of people are gonna be very happy this weekend

2028
01:46:59,600 --> 01:47:03,040
Speaker 1: because fantasy football drafts are going on. I know we

2029
01:47:03,080 --> 01:47:06,559
Speaker 1: don't talk a lot of fantasy, but I'm if I'm

2030
01:47:06,600 --> 01:47:09,320
Speaker 1: sitting there about to make a selection, I want you

2031
01:47:09,360 --> 01:47:11,519
Speaker 1: guys to tell me which receiver I should take from

2032
01:47:11,560 --> 01:47:14,360
Speaker 1: the Texans. If both Brandon Cooks and Will Fuller are

2033
01:47:14,360 --> 01:47:18,479
Speaker 1: sitting there, I would take Cooks. I mean, look, he

2034
01:47:18,600 --> 01:47:20,920
Speaker 1: stays healthy. He's got a track record of doing it.

2035
01:47:20,960 --> 01:47:24,160
Speaker 1: I know last year wasn't exactly you know, the totally

2036
01:47:24,240 --> 01:47:26,960
Speaker 1: healthy season for him that everybody wanted in LA, but

2037
01:47:27,000 --> 01:47:30,240
Speaker 1: he still played fourteen games, and I just think that

2038
01:47:31,000 --> 01:47:33,479
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a different situation this year. Concussions are

2039
01:47:33,560 --> 01:47:36,240
Speaker 1: kind of they're kind of crapshoots. You know, we're afraid

2040
01:47:36,240 --> 01:47:38,439
Speaker 1: when Ryan Griffin had his, it would maybe be a

2041
01:47:38,520 --> 01:47:41,320
Speaker 1: Fedora Witz thing. Maybe we had Fedora which shock. But

2042
01:47:41,479 --> 01:47:45,640
Speaker 1: I just think that those are bad luck kind of injuries.

2043
01:47:45,800 --> 01:47:47,880
Speaker 1: And I think Cooks stays healthy, it has a big

2044
01:47:47,960 --> 01:47:49,960
Speaker 1: year for them. I think that's more likely to happen

2045
01:47:50,000 --> 01:47:52,080
Speaker 1: than Fuller because and I love Will and I want

2046
01:47:52,080 --> 01:47:53,840
Speaker 1: to see it happen for Will, but it just hasn't

2047
01:47:53,840 --> 01:47:55,840
Speaker 1: happened yet. So if I had to pick one, I'd

2048
01:47:55,840 --> 01:47:58,519
Speaker 1: say Cooks. Yeah, I'm with Mark on this one. Lander,

2049
01:47:58,520 --> 01:48:01,479
Speaker 1: I would say, I would say Hooks. Okay, there we go.

2050
01:48:01,560 --> 01:48:05,479
Speaker 1: All right, I'm noted, noted, very Uh. I got this

2051
01:48:05,520 --> 01:48:11,520
Speaker 1: one written down, all right? Kansas City versus the Texans, Uh,

2052
01:48:11,760 --> 01:48:15,599
Speaker 1: fifteen days from now. I cannot believe I'm I'm saying that.

2053
01:48:16,120 --> 01:48:18,280
Speaker 1: Give me the and I know this is early, but

2054
01:48:18,439 --> 01:48:21,960
Speaker 1: give me the X factor for the Texans in that game.

2055
01:48:22,000 --> 01:48:24,920
Speaker 1: Who's the X factor? Someone who we could not be

2056
01:48:25,040 --> 01:48:26,800
Speaker 1: talking about too much and all of a sudden he

2057
01:48:26,840 --> 01:48:29,960
Speaker 1: has the biggest impact on the game. I think I

2058
01:48:30,800 --> 01:48:34,519
Speaker 1: got one, right? Are you go first? Johnny okay Um

2059
01:48:34,600 --> 01:48:38,360
Speaker 1: offensively Jordan Nakins. I was gonna say one of the

2060
01:48:38,400 --> 01:48:41,880
Speaker 1: tight ends, but you're more specifics, so go ahead. Yeah,

2061
01:48:41,920 --> 01:48:45,320
Speaker 1: I think Jordan Nakins. I think Aiken's connection with the

2062
01:48:45,439 --> 01:48:50,360
Speaker 1: Sean has done nothing but grow stronger each and every rep,

2063
01:48:50,439 --> 01:48:54,840
Speaker 1: each and every day. I think that depending on how

2064
01:48:54,880 --> 01:48:58,040
Speaker 1: teams are gonna want to stop the speed they have,

2065
01:48:58,160 --> 01:49:01,160
Speaker 1: if they're gonna play too high, say these Aikins can

2066
01:49:01,160 --> 01:49:03,160
Speaker 1: eat that up down the middle of the field all day.

2067
01:49:03,360 --> 01:49:06,000
Speaker 1: If they want to go man, then they're probably gonna

2068
01:49:06,040 --> 01:49:09,720
Speaker 1: have to put a linebacker on Aikins because if you

2069
01:49:09,840 --> 01:49:12,759
Speaker 1: end up unlike what we're talking about earlier, the Texans

2070
01:49:12,760 --> 01:49:14,880
Speaker 1: will run the ball all day on you. They will

2071
01:49:14,920 --> 01:49:17,120
Speaker 1: crush you if you have just five in the box

2072
01:49:17,200 --> 01:49:19,760
Speaker 1: or six in the box. So teams are gonna have

2073
01:49:19,840 --> 01:49:22,120
Speaker 1: to play at least six or seven members of the

2074
01:49:22,160 --> 01:49:24,519
Speaker 1: front seven, which is gonna get Akins matched up on

2075
01:49:24,560 --> 01:49:27,040
Speaker 1: a linebacker and he's gonna win those matchups. So I

2076
01:49:27,080 --> 01:49:30,280
Speaker 1: think Aikins has an opportunity to be a definite X

2077
01:49:30,280 --> 01:49:33,599
Speaker 1: factor against the Chiefs. No doubt. I'm gonna go Jacob Martin.

2078
01:49:33,840 --> 01:49:35,519
Speaker 1: I think Jacob Martin finds a way to get to

2079
01:49:35,560 --> 01:49:37,720
Speaker 1: the quarterback. He did against Mahomes last year in the

2080
01:49:37,760 --> 01:49:40,519
Speaker 1: regular season victory, bumping his elbow on a third down

2081
01:49:40,680 --> 01:49:43,800
Speaker 1: throw that made the throw go awry. And nobody talks

2082
01:49:43,840 --> 01:49:45,680
Speaker 1: about that play. But you're off the field and you

2083
01:49:45,760 --> 01:49:48,160
Speaker 1: grind out the clock and the game is over. So

2084
01:49:48,479 --> 01:49:51,880
Speaker 1: I just think that year two in this organization is

2085
01:49:51,880 --> 01:49:54,080
Speaker 1: going to be a nice productive year. I'm not gonna

2086
01:49:54,080 --> 01:49:56,360
Speaker 1: go double digit sacks or whatever. I'd love to see it,

2087
01:49:56,640 --> 01:49:58,759
Speaker 1: but I just think you are gonna hear from Jacob

2088
01:49:58,800 --> 01:50:01,080
Speaker 1: Martin an awful lot this year, and he could be

2089
01:50:01,120 --> 01:50:04,439
Speaker 1: the X factor on defense on Opening Night. Speaking of

2090
01:50:04,520 --> 01:50:07,160
Speaker 1: Jacob Martin, and this is this is a random question.

2091
01:50:07,360 --> 01:50:09,920
Speaker 1: Jacob Martin's gained twenty one pounds. A lot of us

2092
01:50:09,920 --> 01:50:12,080
Speaker 1: have gained weight throughout our life, maybe not in the

2093
01:50:12,160 --> 01:50:14,800
Speaker 1: same manner as him. So one of our favorite things

2094
01:50:14,800 --> 01:50:16,559
Speaker 1: to do on in the Loop is tell tales of

2095
01:50:16,600 --> 01:50:18,800
Speaker 1: when we were at our fattest. For example, when I

2096
01:50:18,880 --> 01:50:21,439
Speaker 1: was at my fattest, I'd order a large pizza. I'd

2097
01:50:21,479 --> 01:50:23,320
Speaker 1: pick up the pizza and then maybe I'd stop at

2098
01:50:23,320 --> 01:50:25,200
Speaker 1: Taco Bell and get like a burrito to eat on

2099
01:50:25,240 --> 01:50:27,920
Speaker 1: the way home, I need when I was at my

2100
01:50:27,960 --> 01:50:31,680
Speaker 1: fattest tales from Mark Vandermere and John Harris, all right,

2101
01:50:31,720 --> 01:50:34,000
Speaker 1: you got all right. So I was my fattest in

2102
01:50:34,040 --> 01:50:37,400
Speaker 1: State College, Pennsylvania when I was there doing play by

2103
01:50:37,400 --> 01:50:39,759
Speaker 1: play for women's basketball and a bunch of other sports,

2104
01:50:39,840 --> 01:50:42,439
Speaker 1: high school sports. And I was working morning and afternoon

2105
01:50:42,520 --> 01:50:45,360
Speaker 1: drive sports reports and in the winter doing a game

2106
01:50:45,560 --> 01:50:49,040
Speaker 1: almost every night between high school and college sports, so

2107
01:50:49,200 --> 01:50:52,480
Speaker 1: I had no time to work out. It was relentless

2108
01:50:52,520 --> 01:50:55,320
Speaker 1: the schedule. I would eat everything, like I would go

2109
01:50:55,320 --> 01:51:00,360
Speaker 1: to McDonald's in the morning and have the whatever, like sausage, McMuffin, whatever,

2110
01:51:00,439 --> 01:51:02,760
Speaker 1: and then I'd have the cheesecake thing. What was that?

2111
01:51:02,840 --> 01:51:05,160
Speaker 1: A cheese danish, That's what it was, and a coke

2112
01:51:05,600 --> 01:51:08,880
Speaker 1: and a coke. I mean, that's disgusting. And to add

2113
01:51:08,920 --> 01:51:11,960
Speaker 1: all that together, okay, And then dinner was often like

2114
01:51:12,000 --> 01:51:14,400
Speaker 1: three slices of pizza, another coke, and then I'd have

2115
01:51:14,439 --> 01:51:16,680
Speaker 1: another snack later right before bet. I mean, I was

2116
01:51:16,720 --> 01:51:19,040
Speaker 1: so huge. There was a charity basketball game. I have

2117
01:51:19,040 --> 01:51:21,879
Speaker 1: a picture somewhere. I mean, for me, I was definitely

2118
01:51:22,320 --> 01:51:24,680
Speaker 1: at least twenty pounds heavier than I am right now.

2119
01:51:24,720 --> 01:51:28,400
Speaker 1: And they weren't Jacob Martin pounds either. Believe me. I

2120
01:51:28,920 --> 01:51:35,920
Speaker 1: Landry was nearly two seventy who in the let's see

2121
01:51:36,280 --> 01:51:40,160
Speaker 1: early early twenty ten, and it wasn't for me. I

2122
01:51:40,200 --> 01:51:42,960
Speaker 1: just I always ate kind of the same I did

2123
01:51:43,160 --> 01:51:45,439
Speaker 1: as I was growing up. I just ate whatever really

2124
01:51:45,439 --> 01:51:47,120
Speaker 1: I wanted to. But you know, what I found out

2125
01:51:47,240 --> 01:51:48,840
Speaker 1: was the killer. I don't know why. I never paid

2126
01:51:48,840 --> 01:51:52,560
Speaker 1: attention to the calories and sugar and things like gatorade.

2127
01:51:52,560 --> 01:51:55,080
Speaker 1: I wasn't drinking soda at the time. I didn't drink

2128
01:51:55,080 --> 01:51:56,840
Speaker 1: any of that, but I would drink Gatorade like it

2129
01:51:56,880 --> 01:51:59,559
Speaker 1: was going on a style, and so I would drink

2130
01:51:59,600 --> 01:52:02,439
Speaker 1: like the big, you know, kind of almost almost two

2131
01:52:02,520 --> 01:52:05,360
Speaker 1: leaderlike thing that you would get from I would have

2132
01:52:05,880 --> 01:52:08,640
Speaker 1: one of those like almost every day. And that was

2133
01:52:08,800 --> 01:52:11,160
Speaker 1: I found out later on, like oh my god, this

2134
01:52:11,200 --> 01:52:16,240
Speaker 1: is like yeah, and it's and I'm drinking it and

2135
01:52:16,280 --> 01:52:18,320
Speaker 1: I'm drinking it, so I don't really think it's all that,

2136
01:52:18,479 --> 01:52:21,200
Speaker 1: you know, I don't think it's bad. It's like, hey, reluctulites,

2137
01:52:21,240 --> 01:52:25,840
Speaker 1: it's gatorade. It's not SODA's shake. But I would drink

2138
01:52:25,880 --> 01:52:29,200
Speaker 1: Gatorade forever, and then I ended up doing a weight

2139
01:52:29,240 --> 01:52:31,519
Speaker 1: loss program, and they were like, Okay, you can't have

2140
01:52:31,560 --> 01:52:33,320
Speaker 1: this drink, this drink, this drink, can't have these things.

2141
01:52:33,360 --> 01:52:35,880
Speaker 1: I was like, man, I was drinking so much of

2142
01:52:35,920 --> 01:52:37,960
Speaker 1: my colorges and I don't I don't drink alcohol, but

2143
01:52:38,080 --> 01:52:42,000
Speaker 1: I was just drinking whether it's Gatorades in particular, that

2144
01:52:42,200 --> 01:52:44,479
Speaker 1: I was just a killer. I was drinking gatorade and milk,

2145
01:52:44,640 --> 01:52:47,400
Speaker 1: and I didn't like one percent or two percent milk,

2146
01:52:47,640 --> 01:52:50,200
Speaker 1: so it's whole milk and gatorade. It was just those

2147
01:52:50,240 --> 01:52:51,600
Speaker 1: are the things that I had, and it was just

2148
01:52:51,640 --> 01:52:53,880
Speaker 1: they were killers. Then I got in the weight loss

2149
01:52:53,920 --> 01:52:57,160
Speaker 1: program and lost like seventy pounds down to something I

2150
01:52:57,200 --> 01:52:59,400
Speaker 1: probably shouldn't have been. Right now, I'm at two twenty five.

2151
01:52:59,400 --> 01:53:01,360
Speaker 1: I probably got another ten pounds to go then I'll

2152
01:53:01,400 --> 01:53:05,160
Speaker 1: be good. Lopez has no mercy for y'all. By the way,

2153
01:53:05,200 --> 01:53:09,800
Speaker 1: he's making fun of Vandermer pounds. Oh my gosh, oh

2154
01:53:09,880 --> 01:53:17,200
Speaker 1: my god. Listen, guys, you're you're you're at your fattest

2155
01:53:17,280 --> 01:53:20,320
Speaker 1: and you're saying I had a breakfast sandwich and gatorade.

2156
01:53:20,320 --> 01:53:25,160
Speaker 1: Oh boo boo, let me come over. I was at John.

2157
01:53:25,560 --> 01:53:27,240
Speaker 1: I was with John on the show when he lost

2158
01:53:27,280 --> 01:53:30,320
Speaker 1: all the weight in oh nine, twenty ten, and we

2159
01:53:30,320 --> 01:53:32,640
Speaker 1: were at the super Bowl in Miami and Lopez is

2160
01:53:32,680 --> 01:53:35,320
Speaker 1: on the diet and with all the supplements and everything,

2161
01:53:35,360 --> 01:53:37,920
Speaker 1: and he stuck to it. I gave you credit. I'm

2162
01:53:37,920 --> 01:53:40,400
Speaker 1: still down. I'm still pretty much at my goal weight.

2163
01:53:40,640 --> 01:53:42,600
Speaker 1: I gained it back a couple of years ago, some

2164
01:53:42,720 --> 01:53:45,559
Speaker 1: of it, but uh, at my fattest. I'm come on,

2165
01:53:45,600 --> 01:53:48,080
Speaker 1: you guys are lying. You're flat out lying. Hey, I mean,

2166
01:53:48,080 --> 01:53:52,439
Speaker 1: I'm talking like a rack of ribs. You know, we

2167
01:53:52,439 --> 01:53:55,639
Speaker 1: were when Sean Pendergast and I did at the same time,

2168
01:53:55,640 --> 01:53:58,040
Speaker 1: and we were a little we were maybe a little

2172
01:54:11,840 --> 01:54:14,400
Speaker 1: like you're a therapist. You know. It's not your fault.

2173
01:54:14,479 --> 01:54:18,160
Speaker 1: It's not your fault. Tell us, but diet. We were

2174
01:54:18,160 --> 01:54:21,640
Speaker 1: on a diet. We had to stay there. Ask Gatorade,

2175
01:54:21,680 --> 01:54:23,800
