1
00:00:01,720 --> 00:00:05,320
Speaker 1: It's finally here. Bigger, faster, stronger. It's time to put

2
00:00:05,360 --> 00:00:13,880
Speaker 1: on the pads. Faster, quicker, more agile, and make some noise. Wow,

13
00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:01,360
Speaker 1: here for the first time today at training camp. So

14
00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:03,720
Speaker 1: that's pretty cool. We're a weekend and the fans will

15
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:06,920
Speaker 1: be here and you'll be hearing them as the show progresses.

16
00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:09,360
Speaker 1: When they open the gates, they'll flock in and they'll

17
00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:12,000
Speaker 1: all be looking for those shady seats. That's what they've

18
00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:15,560
Speaker 1: got now, the shady seats here at camp. So that's

19
00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:18,920
Speaker 1: a nice help for them. But that's only four I

20
00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:21,600
Speaker 1: don't know, a few thousand, maybe two, three, I don't know.

21
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:24,160
Speaker 1: They get about four or five in here. They jam

22
00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:26,360
Speaker 1: them in here, four or five thousand, and I think

23
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:28,920
Speaker 1: maybe seating for two or three. I can't really tell.

24
00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:31,600
Speaker 1: I don't know those numbers. The tents or I guess

25
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:34,360
Speaker 1: you call it tens, not really canopy canopy. Yeah, the

26
00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:36,760
Speaker 1: canopy runs basically from end of the end zone to

27
00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:39,600
Speaker 1: end of the end zone. Yeah, it runs. But fans

28
00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:42,960
Speaker 1: will stand all in that north end zone area back

29
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:45,120
Speaker 1: over there. Great place to be. It's a great place

30
00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:46,920
Speaker 1: because you get a great end zone view, and they'll

31
00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:49,280
Speaker 1: be I don't know that that's a pretty it's deep,

32
00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:50,960
Speaker 1: but it's not that deep. People will be lined up

33
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:53,559
Speaker 1: all back there. But I also seen art to cool

34
00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:55,320
Speaker 1: zone down over there, so I'm curious to walk down

35
00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:57,440
Speaker 1: there and see what that's all about the fans. I'd

36
00:01:57,480 --> 00:01:59,600
Speaker 1: allow the fans to actually cool themselves off in an

37
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:03,400
Speaker 1: art too. Well. I guess maybe it's just for Arctic employees,

38
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:05,080
Speaker 1: but I think I doubt it. But I doubt it.

39
00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:07,280
Speaker 1: But but that's where that's kind of where you want

40
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:09,560
Speaker 1: to be back over there, because that's where old line

41
00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:12,520
Speaker 1: does pass rush drills. Yeah, that's cool stuff. I love

42
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:15,320
Speaker 1: a football nerd like you. I mean, yeah, absolutely, but

43
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:17,320
Speaker 1: a lot. I mean the fans, these fans over here,

44
00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:20,120
Speaker 1: they get a great glimpse of all the eleven on eleven,

45
00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:23,000
Speaker 1: They get all the wide receiver dbs, you know, great catches.

46
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:25,239
Speaker 1: That's when I'm watching the old line d line do

47
00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:28,400
Speaker 1: pass rush drills and I hear this, like, all right,

48
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:30,720
Speaker 1: Dean re made a one handed catch or the Sean

49
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:33,200
Speaker 1: complete one to Will. I mean, that's that's the kind

50
00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:35,760
Speaker 1: of day it will be today, deep still thunder. I

51
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:38,640
Speaker 1: already heard them coming over over the as we were

52
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:41,280
Speaker 1: walking over the bridge, coming over here. So everybody fired up.

53
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:42,880
Speaker 1: And that was one of the things I mentioned last night, Mark,

54
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:47,639
Speaker 1: is we've been talking about this team. We've been watching

55
00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:49,120
Speaker 1: this team at training camp all the way through the

56
00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:51,880
Speaker 1: offseason two. We have been watching this team. We've seen it.

57
00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:54,040
Speaker 1: So there's a level of excitement that we have about

58
00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:57,320
Speaker 1: it because we've we've been watching it. Yep. So we

59
00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:00,200
Speaker 1: get to sort of unveil that to the world today, like, hey,

60
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:02,600
Speaker 1: all the excitement that we have now gets validated in

61
00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:04,960
Speaker 1: front of you all today. So I mentally last night

62
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:06,360
Speaker 1: in the show, like how excited I am for the

63
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:08,760
Speaker 1: fans to come out and see this. For it's almost

64
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:10,360
Speaker 1: like we've been at the Greenbrier for a week in

65
00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:12,960
Speaker 1: that you've had more media here than you did there.

66
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:15,800
Speaker 1: We're obviously giving you a sizzle reel every day, but

67
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:18,560
Speaker 1: we're not exactly showing you eleven on eleven here's what

68
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:21,440
Speaker 1: they're running on first down, and they don't want to

69
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:23,880
Speaker 1: reveal that stuff to the world and put that all

70
00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:26,240
Speaker 1: on video. We're showing you a lot of catches, a

71
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:28,480
Speaker 1: lot of plays, but it's not the same thing as

72
00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:30,680
Speaker 1: being here, certainly not the same thing as one week

73
00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:32,359
Speaker 1: from tonight when the team takes on the Green Bay

74
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:35,600
Speaker 1: Packers at Lambeau Field. It'll be live on Sports Radio

75
00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:37,960
Speaker 1: six ten of course the Bull one hundred point three FM,

76
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:40,680
Speaker 1: ABC thirteen. You can stream it on the app. All

77
00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:42,960
Speaker 1: the games in the season you can stream on the

78
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:45,360
Speaker 1: Texans App. So go get it now. Let's get some

79
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:51,320
Speaker 1: hot reads in here. We'll do biggest surprises from camp

80
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:53,440
Speaker 1: at just a moment, by the way, Jeff Van Gundi

81
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:56,560
Speaker 1: At nine twenty today, John McClain will join us at

82
00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:58,480
Speaker 1: eight thirty. We've got a lot of other things happening.

83
00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:01,440
Speaker 1: Greg Mann's with DPCO. It's really interesting because Man's is

84
00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:03,720
Speaker 1: such a great interview, and he's a leader on this team.

85
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:06,200
Speaker 1: Even though he's not really projected to be a starter,

86
00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:10,440
Speaker 1: he starts often enough and you want him on your squad. Anyway,

87
00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:13,840
Speaker 1: Let's get to this now, because JJ Watbed certainly is

88
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:18,200
Speaker 1: out here making some noise. Had sixteen sacks last year.

89
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:22,000
Speaker 1: Busy offseason for him. But he's thirty years old. He

90
00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:26,320
Speaker 1: regulates his body differently than maybe when he first got

91
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:28,560
Speaker 1: here at twenty eleven. Let's here from JJ. We are

92
00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:30,520
Speaker 1: managing to take off. I took it off day after

93
00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:32,360
Speaker 1: the first two days. I take off day basically every

94
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:33,920
Speaker 1: third day. It's kind of how we're trying to plan it.

95
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:37,320
Speaker 1: It'll get mixed up here and there. But just I mean,

96
00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:41,080
Speaker 1: just just when I'm practicing, I want to practice. That's

97
00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:42,520
Speaker 1: basically what we've talked about. I mean, I don't I

98
00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:44,760
Speaker 1: don't want to be on a repcount during a practice.

99
00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:47,320
Speaker 1: So instead of that, I'll take a practice off and

100
00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:50,000
Speaker 1: I'll go run or I'll do rehab or whatever they

101
00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:53,720
Speaker 1: want me to do. So but I mean, I love

102
00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:55,720
Speaker 1: to play football. I love so if I'm on the field,

103
00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:57,719
Speaker 1: I want to be on the field. I think that

104
00:04:58,080 --> 00:04:59,600
Speaker 1: was a great point by him. You know, you don't

105
00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:01,919
Speaker 1: want to be sitting there on the sideline or standing

106
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:03,640
Speaker 1: on the sideline watching the action. You want to be

107
00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:07,560
Speaker 1: part of the action. And that's better when you're at

108
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:09,520
Speaker 1: practice to do it that way than any kind of

109
00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:11,960
Speaker 1: pitch count at practice. Then if you have a day off,

110
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:14,479
Speaker 1: you're off. You're off in a little do other stuff. Yeah,

111
00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:17,640
Speaker 1: and you're you're untouchable. It's not like, hey, we're doing this. You' hey, hey,

112
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:19,720
Speaker 1: JJ get in there. So we've seen that before. I

113
00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:22,479
Speaker 1: remember twenty fifteen on Hard Knocks, there is a great

114
00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:24,640
Speaker 1: scene down on the goal line. I remember staying right

115
00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:27,200
Speaker 1: there and O'Brien's like, I want Watt in there, and

116
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:29,479
Speaker 1: then j knice through and makes a hit right on

117
00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:31,560
Speaker 1: a goal line and it was great. And that's one

118
00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:33,520
Speaker 1: of those things that you're tempted by when he's standing

119
00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:35,840
Speaker 1: over there, because as an offense, you want to face

120
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:38,120
Speaker 1: the best, and he makes it very difficult. I've heard

121
00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:42,240
Speaker 1: the words annoying from some of the offensive players. Yeah,

122
00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:44,360
Speaker 1: that's what you want him to be at Yeah, because

123
00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:46,119
Speaker 1: you've got to learn how to deal with it because

124
00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:49,600
Speaker 1: Darrell Casey's annoying, you know, Darius Leonard's annoying. I mean,

125
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:51,000
Speaker 1: you got to learn how to deal with annoying in

126
00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:53,839
Speaker 1: his league. So from that perspective, I think it's great.

127
00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:56,880
Speaker 1: And when when he said it, I remembered back. I

128
00:05:57,120 --> 00:05:59,839
Speaker 1: thought back to last year at the Greenbrier and there

129
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:01,760
Speaker 1: are times the Greenbrier where he would be in full

130
00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:04,039
Speaker 1: uniform and then he would do a few things and

131
00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:06,400
Speaker 1: then you wouldn't see him and it was kind of like, hmm,

132
00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:08,240
Speaker 1: I wasn't really sure. It was like, okay, is he

133
00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:10,240
Speaker 1: had a pitch count or a play count today? Wasn't sure.

134
00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:13,159
Speaker 1: So I sense when he was saying that he was

135
00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:16,000
Speaker 1: referring back to last year, and that was thoughts of

136
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:18,039
Speaker 1: this year though, even in one of the practices where

137
00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:20,240
Speaker 1: he's standing on the side when the one the supposed

138
00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:22,440
Speaker 1: ones are out there, and I think he just wants

139
00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:24,159
Speaker 1: to be in there. Yeah, So I think from from

140
00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:28,000
Speaker 1: his perspective, he's like, look, if I'm there, I'm in

141
00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:31,360
Speaker 1: full four, I'm in give me the reps I need there.

142
00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:34,480
Speaker 1: And then that third day when I'm when I'm off,

143
00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:37,440
Speaker 1: so to speak, you know, out of practice. You know,

144
00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:39,440
Speaker 1: you can't even put him in, which which I love.

145
00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:41,320
Speaker 1: I mean, I think that's probably the best way to

146
00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:44,400
Speaker 1: go about it, because there's clarity that day for all right,

147
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:48,159
Speaker 1: Rack Anthony, you don't have what today, No what today

148
00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:51,440
Speaker 1: figured out? Yeah, and let the other guys have those rests. Yeah,

149
00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:53,960
Speaker 1: and that really helps the team as a whole. All Right.

150
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:56,320
Speaker 1: Watson has been helping the team played the whole season

151
00:06:56,440 --> 00:07:00,599
Speaker 1: last year, had four thousand passing yards plus five hundred

152
00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:03,640
Speaker 1: rushing yards plus twenty five touchdowns. First quarterback in NFL

153
00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:08,440
Speaker 1: history to do those things combined. And he's got company

154
00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:11,559
Speaker 1: as far as the great young quarterbacks go, the great

155
00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:14,880
Speaker 1: looking young studs in this league. Pat Mahomes one of them,

156
00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:17,520
Speaker 1: certainly in the team. We'll meet up with Kansas City

157
00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:20,400
Speaker 1: in mid October at Arrowhead Stadium. Watch was asked a

158
00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:22,640
Speaker 1: bunch of things yesterday about Aaron Rodgers because we're gonna

159
00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:25,400
Speaker 1: see him next week, and Mahomes and how they get along,

160
00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:27,040
Speaker 1: and he had this to say, Uh, you know, I

161
00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:29,440
Speaker 1: don't really focus on what you know Mahomes did last year.

162
00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:31,480
Speaker 1: I every want to see it. Um he had a

163
00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:34,720
Speaker 1: heck of a season. You know, he did his thing.

164
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:36,960
Speaker 1: And you know we talked at the Pro Bowl, and yeah,

165
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:39,080
Speaker 1: we support each other. We motivate each other. We talked

166
00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:42,160
Speaker 1: to each other on social media. We talk about different

167
00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:44,720
Speaker 1: vacation spots. Uh. You know, he hit me up about

168
00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:46,720
Speaker 1: Puerto Rico. I hit him up about where he went,

169
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:48,920
Speaker 1: you know, to the Bahamas or somebody that. So you know,

170
00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:53,200
Speaker 1: we still communicate, you know, about football, not about football.

171
00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:56,080
Speaker 1: So we all boys, and we support each other. And

172
00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:59,640
Speaker 1: for sure, you know our classicized seventeen, you know, just

173
00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:04,520
Speaker 1: two we must be doing something right. I know I

174
00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:06,920
Speaker 1: heard you talking about this last night, Johnny, that when

175
00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:08,920
Speaker 1: you look at those three guys and we thought, well,

176
00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:11,400
Speaker 1: maybe Trubisky he's not gonna work out so well compared

177
00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:13,160
Speaker 1: to these other two guys. But look, the Bears were

178
00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:15,440
Speaker 1: in the playoffs last year. He looks pretty good, and

179
00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:17,120
Speaker 1: you could say they should have drafted one of the

180
00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:19,760
Speaker 1: other two guys. But he's working out of them so far.

181
00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:23,000
Speaker 1: So give them credited. It's it's happening for Chicago. It's

182
00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:25,800
Speaker 1: happening for all three of these guys. Early on, they

183
00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:28,240
Speaker 1: gotta keep it going. A couple of things about Watson.

184
00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:31,080
Speaker 1: We heard Rabels cut on him yesterday and how he

185
00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:33,440
Speaker 1: inspired Rabel when he was twenty one years old giving

186
00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:37,400
Speaker 1: his game check to the cafeteria workers here at NRG Stadium.

187
00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:40,000
Speaker 1: And then you hear what Watson had to say about

188
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:42,679
Speaker 1: his communication with Mahomes. You know, Watson is almost impossible

189
00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:45,600
Speaker 1: not to like. People around the league really like him.

190
00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:48,360
Speaker 1: The opponents have such respect for him. Yeah, they want

191
00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:50,559
Speaker 1: to beat him, but they have respect for him. He's

192
00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:52,520
Speaker 1: not one of these guys, should I say it, He's

193
00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:55,520
Speaker 1: not been Roethlisberger. He's not one of these guys. He's

194
00:08:55,559 --> 00:09:00,760
Speaker 1: extremely likable. People remember the Davos Sweeney Michael George thing. Look,

195
00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:03,000
Speaker 1: he's got a long way to go to get to that, right,

196
00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:06,600
Speaker 1: But to me, is he Jordan or is he Michael

197
00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:09,040
Speaker 1: Jordan and Magic Johnson had a baby? And that's this

198
00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:11,440
Speaker 1: guy because he plays the game with such joy, the

199
00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:15,280
Speaker 1: big smile. Uh, you know, not in the huddle necessarily,

200
00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:19,000
Speaker 1: but you know what I'm saying here. The personality, the charisma,

201
00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:22,400
Speaker 1: the execution, it's all there, early onditory, early in his career.

202
00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:24,440
Speaker 1: He's got a long way to go, but let's enjoy

203
00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:26,680
Speaker 1: the ride together. Yeah, that's a great point to enjoy

204
00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:28,400
Speaker 1: the ride. Look, there are a lot of things that

205
00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:31,040
Speaker 1: we all, you know, criticize. I mean, we've got to

206
00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:33,240
Speaker 1: fill hours of time in the radio, We've got to

207
00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:37,920
Speaker 1: fill inches of column in the newspapers and online all

208
00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:39,360
Speaker 1: that kind of stuff. So there's gotta be things that

209
00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:41,880
Speaker 1: we're gonna talk about. And and you can't always write

210
00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:44,560
Speaker 1: the most glowing things about every single player. But when

211
00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:46,679
Speaker 1: you have a guy like the Shan, yeah you can.

212
00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:49,080
Speaker 1: You can nit pick and you can look at you know,

213
00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:51,040
Speaker 1: game play, and those are things that I know I

214
00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:53,120
Speaker 1: said in the office to do and I look at Okay,

215
00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:55,600
Speaker 1: what can what can he do to get better? In

216
00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:58,200
Speaker 1: my opinion, this this can can get better. This can

217
00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:01,040
Speaker 1: get better. But overall, when you think about the player

218
00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:02,400
Speaker 1: he is in the respect he has a round the

219
00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:05,680
Speaker 1: league's pretty amazing beat down in the field every single game.

220
00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:07,439
Speaker 1: And see the players come up to him. I'll never

221
00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:12,720
Speaker 1: forget Seattle seat. It was unbelievable. They were standing in

222
00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:16,439
Speaker 1: line in Seattle to shake his hand and to say

223
00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:20,040
Speaker 1: you're the next dude in this league, Like I mean,

224
00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:22,480
Speaker 1: I'm never I mean Earl Thomas Richard Sherman. They were

225
00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:24,800
Speaker 1: all standing in line like waiting to talk to him.

226
00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:28,760
Speaker 1: It's just it's unbelievable the respect that he garners throughout

227
00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:31,520
Speaker 1: this league. So they've let the fans in and it's

228
00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:33,560
Speaker 1: like the running of the bulls. It's like Altamont. No,

229
00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:36,200
Speaker 1: it's not all right, that's a very dated reference, but

230
00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:38,000
Speaker 1: some of you got it. I think I got It's

231
00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:41,199
Speaker 1: really kind of inappropes really considering what happened there. But

232
00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:44,280
Speaker 1: it is, uh, you know, it's general admission at a

233
00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:48,240
Speaker 1: WHO concert. Okay, it is look at it, getting Rudio.

234
00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:50,880
Speaker 1: They are running for the bleachers, They are running that

235
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:52,839
Speaker 1: top spot. People are running over to get the best

236
00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:55,760
Speaker 1: autographed spots. Yeah, that's pretty cool. Actually, now that's it.

237
00:10:55,880 --> 00:10:57,920
Speaker 1: They're looking at that corner where the players come in

238
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:00,400
Speaker 1: here at the Houston Methodist Training Center and seen it

239
00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:03,400
Speaker 1: all on video and you've been here maybe, so they're

240
00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:05,600
Speaker 1: all looking for that spot where they could possibly it's

241
00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:08,760
Speaker 1: the best spot to get an autograph, the most likely spot.

242
00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:10,880
Speaker 1: We should say, all right, a couple of things here,

243
00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:13,280
Speaker 1: biggest surprises from camp. But I think we can go

244
00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:15,679
Speaker 1: a long way on this. We're gonna have Greg manson

245
00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:18,839
Speaker 1: next segment. John McLean to date thirty. The signing of

246
00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:21,120
Speaker 1: Zach Grinki for the Astros was a big surprise from

247
00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:23,760
Speaker 1: camp because I think that a couple of players at

248
00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:25,920
Speaker 1: the very least reacted. I think Watch has tweeted out

249
00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:29,960
Speaker 1: Astros because that was huge for them, and congratulations to

250
00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:32,200
Speaker 1: that organization for getting Granky. I mean, has a really

251
00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:35,360
Speaker 1: great coup for them at the trade deadline to strengthen

252
00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:38,520
Speaker 1: the starting rotation. Baseball, you know, it's I don't want

253
00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:40,680
Speaker 1: to go George Carlin on you here another dated reference,

254
00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:44,040
Speaker 1: but it's so different because you know your team. The

255
00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:47,000
Speaker 1: guy you throw that night is your team. Basically, I

256
00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:49,719
Speaker 1: know your offense is your offense, but man, and it's

257
00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:51,640
Speaker 1: all affected by who they throw. It's like you have

258
00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:54,719
Speaker 1: a different quarterback every night, if you will. Yeah, that's

259
00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:57,440
Speaker 1: how that sport seems, you know. And I know it's

260
00:11:57,559 --> 00:12:00,880
Speaker 1: it's very much not apples to apples, but it's interesting

261
00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:03,160
Speaker 1: to me how that kind of signing can change things.

262
00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:04,760
Speaker 1: Never mind the rest of the regular season. It's in

263
00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:07,720
Speaker 1: the playoffs because you know, you get three man rotation

264
00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:10,600
Speaker 1: or whatever you're gonna have, you know, three and a half,

265
00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:12,480
Speaker 1: and this team has pieced it together in a variety

266
00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:14,839
Speaker 1: of ways. They did in their World Series March, so

267
00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:18,760
Speaker 1: that's obviously huge for them if he could do it

268
00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:22,280
Speaker 1: after September. Well, I think one of the most amazing

269
00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:25,920
Speaker 1: things about baseball, and I remember it was when I

270
00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:28,000
Speaker 1: was coaching baseball, we went down and played this team

271
00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:30,680
Speaker 1: and I mean they were it was just not a

272
00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:34,720
Speaker 1: great team, but they had a lefty and he was phenomenal.

273
00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:37,720
Speaker 1: And I remember thinking, this is the only sport where

274
00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:40,920
Speaker 1: one could beat nine. Yeah, and basketball five's not gonna

275
00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:44,000
Speaker 1: beat four, and football ten's not gonna be eleven. You know,

276
00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:45,760
Speaker 1: in soccer you get a guy that goes off for

277
00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:48,160
Speaker 1: a red card, ten's not gonna be eleven more than

278
00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:51,319
Speaker 1: likely in that particular match, although it's happened. But in baseball,

279
00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:53,760
Speaker 1: one can beat nine. And that's what makes baseball very

280
00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:55,800
Speaker 1: interesting because you can put granky in the bump and

281
00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:58,480
Speaker 1: he can go eight innings and give up two hits,

282
00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:01,720
Speaker 1: and you can scratch together one run through a bunch

283
00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:05,160
Speaker 1: single steel sack fly. I mean you could you know

284
00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:07,040
Speaker 1: somehow you can get that done and get a run

285
00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:09,160
Speaker 1: and win a game one nothing, because one can be nine.

286
00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:11,920
Speaker 1: That's where that's where to me football. That's where all

287
00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:13,320
Speaker 1: the sports are different and why I love all the

288
00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:17,280
Speaker 1: different sports because in football, eleven people better be working

289
00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:20,200
Speaker 1: on the same page or your toast. You're done. But

290
00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:22,640
Speaker 1: one guy can go everybody. You know, eight guys out

291
00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:24,800
Speaker 1: in the field could be having a horrible day. That

292
00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:27,200
Speaker 1: guy in the bump can be awesome. And you got

293
00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:29,000
Speaker 1: a shot. All right. So we went a little long

294
00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:31,119
Speaker 1: with this one, but we'll get to our biggest surprises

295
00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:35,080
Speaker 1: in camp. I got a couple of ones involving the offense.

296
00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:37,440
Speaker 1: We'll do that next, and then Greg Manson, then John McLean.

297
00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:39,719
Speaker 1: It's all coming up. I've Texans Training Camp Live. I've

298
00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:45,520

Speaker 1: have my experience. I gotta and I get the next

00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:08,400
Speaker 1: so I don't have to switch around. It's really awesome. Anyway,

305
00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:11,040
Speaker 1: was that like a little commercial because we'll get the

306
00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:12,800
Speaker 1: deepest thing in just a moment here, And she's presented

307
00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:15,920
Speaker 1: by Exfinity. But Johnny biggest surprises. Give me We'll go

308
00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:19,600
Speaker 1: semi rapid fire here. You get two and a half sentences,

309
00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:22,720
Speaker 1: Give me a quick surprise. I'm gonna write into my

310
00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:25,080
Speaker 1: next contract that I get more than two sentence Nope

311
00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:30,680
Speaker 1: on anything. Nope. Rogert Johnson offensive tackle. You want surprises,

312
00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:34,840
Speaker 1: that's Johnson. He's getting the maritime He has come, leaps

313
00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:38,240
Speaker 1: him bounds up from where he was last year. Now,

314
00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:41,080
Speaker 1: I'm not proclaiming him to be the next starter right

315
00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:43,840
Speaker 1: tackle or left tack or whatever it is. Well, Roderick

316
00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:48,400
Speaker 1: was highly decorated Florida State, and you could just tell

317
00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:51,600
Speaker 1: that his game wasn't quite ready. He got here last year,

318
00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:54,760
Speaker 1: he got here later in the year or audience to

319
00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:57,560
Speaker 1: the season, I should say. And there were times and

320
00:14:57,720 --> 00:14:59,720
Speaker 1: just man, I don't I don't see it. I'm not

321
00:14:59,760 --> 00:15:03,440
Speaker 1: seeing in it. This year, I watch different guy, completely

322
00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:06,720
Speaker 1: different guy, and he maybe strikes me as Kendall Lamb.

323
00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:08,880
Speaker 1: Last year, you know, Kendall got off the beat Pat m.

324
00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:11,560
Speaker 1: Kendall had been here, so really kind of click for

325
00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:14,720
Speaker 1: Kendall last year in the off season and the Kendall

326
00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:16,200
Speaker 1: became a starter. I don't I don't know if Rod

327
00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:18,480
Speaker 1: becomes a starter, because I think there are a lot

328
00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:21,640
Speaker 1: of candidates for spots in your offensive line. Brian, I'm

329
00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:23,600
Speaker 1: telling you he is. I told him the other I

330
00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:25,000
Speaker 1: even told him the other day walking off the field,

331
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:26,400
Speaker 1: I said, I don't know what happens with you. I

332
00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:28,400
Speaker 1: don't start to do this, I said, but you come

333
00:15:28,440 --> 00:15:30,520
Speaker 1: a long way, my man. I can the difference in

334
00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:33,960
Speaker 1: you from eighteen to nineteen is completely different. Very I'm

335
00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:37,400
Speaker 1: gonna give you a surprise that the offense is able

336
00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:40,440
Speaker 1: to sometimes and maybe more often than you would think,

337
00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:47,040
Speaker 1: in a training camp setting torch the defense. I mean, well,

338
00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:49,000
Speaker 1: they're like, all right, you got three minutes out of

339
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:51,400
Speaker 1: the clock, we're damn five. What are you gonna do?

340
00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:57,800
Speaker 1: And Watson bang bang touchdown? Right, you know, qt deep

341
00:15:57,880 --> 00:16:02,640
Speaker 1: cross fuller touchdown, something like that. Yeah, I've seen that

342
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:05,640
Speaker 1: a few times. And you know, sometimes they get stopped,

343
00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:08,640
Speaker 1: sometimes they get picked. I mean, it's not always perfect.

344
00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:10,440
Speaker 1: And I think that this the reason why I bring

345
00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:13,520
Speaker 1: this up is that at this time of year, very

346
00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:16,160
Speaker 1: often the defense is way ahead of the offense, right typically, yes,

347
00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:19,680
Speaker 1: typically because they're destroying something. The offense is creating something

348
00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:21,800
Speaker 1: and it's harder to create them to destroy. We all

349
00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:23,600
Speaker 1: know this. We've been over this many times from the

350
00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:28,400
Speaker 1: beginning of this franchise's history. But I'm seeing Watson, you know,

351
00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:31,840
Speaker 1: even when things break down, this just int. Even when

352
00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:33,720
Speaker 1: things break down, he finds a way to make plays.

353
00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:35,640
Speaker 1: And it happens out here at training camp two. We've

354
00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:38,680
Speaker 1: seen it in games. So it's frustrating for the defense

355
00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:42,560
Speaker 1: to have to go against him because the unpredictability of

356
00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:46,600
Speaker 1: his play does pay dividends for this offense. Yeah, I'll

357
00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:49,400
Speaker 1: give you a I'll give you one, okay, as a

358
00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:52,800
Speaker 1: specific instance, but it actually happened a few times. Yesterday

359
00:16:53,880 --> 00:16:57,200
Speaker 1: they're working eleven on eleven drills, ones on ones. I

360
00:16:57,240 --> 00:17:00,840
Speaker 1: saw to Sean take a snap from shotgun and he

361
00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:05,280
Speaker 1: stood there in the pocket right, and I was convinced

362
00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:09,719
Speaker 1: there's a whistle. Like I'm looking straight up. I'm seeing

363
00:17:09,720 --> 00:17:13,159
Speaker 1: everybody like run their routes and play still going, and

364
00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:17,359
Speaker 1: he's standing there in a pocket like standing statuesque Kenny Stable,

365
00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:21,200
Speaker 1: just standing yeah, and I'm like, place love that dead right,

366
00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:24,480
Speaker 1: Like wait a second, he's standing and then throws the

367
00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:26,919
Speaker 1: ball across the middle. Aaron Coleman a nice playoff to

368
00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:30,040
Speaker 1: break it up. But that hasn't happened much. He got

369
00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:33,000
Speaker 1: in a pocket. In the pocket was so clean, so clean.

370
00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:36,119
Speaker 1: The outside rushers are gone high, so they were kind

371
00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:37,600
Speaker 1: of beyond him and the tackle just took him out

372
00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:39,920
Speaker 1: in the guards or just handling business inside and he's

373
00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:44,280
Speaker 1: standing there just what am I gonna do? It? Was

374
00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:46,880
Speaker 1: that wold to know that your pass protection could get

375
00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:49,640
Speaker 1: that level. He could feel that comfortable was pretty good.

376
00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:52,360
Speaker 1: And I wrote down yesterday. I wrote down yesterday mark

377
00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:55,760
Speaker 1: a couple of times, probably two three times great pass pro.

378
00:17:56,320 --> 00:17:57,639
Speaker 1: Not all the time, but I wrote it down a

379
00:17:57,680 --> 00:18:00,399
Speaker 1: few times. I'm like, boy, that can be consistent to

380
00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:03,040
Speaker 1: where he can stand back there like a statue. Right,

381
00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:06,359
Speaker 1: That's that's a surprise. Well that's my next surprise really

382
00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:09,600
Speaker 1: is that the amount of practice time with the ones

383
00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:13,000
Speaker 1: the rookies are getting on the O line, Because you know,

384
00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:16,240
Speaker 1: I always think, well, what's what's the difference. Sometimes, you know,

385
00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:20,920
Speaker 1: if you're learning the schematics of everything, two's ones, whatever, fine,

386
00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:24,679
Speaker 1: but they want training campus ones against the ones. Regular

387
00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:27,680
Speaker 1: season practice is ones against the scout team on offense

388
00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:29,960
Speaker 1: and defense. You're facing a scout team all the time.

389
00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:33,119
Speaker 1: Right this time of year, you want iron sharpening irons.

390
00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:36,600
Speaker 1: So you're putting those rookies up against this front seven

391
00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:38,800
Speaker 1: to get them the toughest test possible with the DJ

392
00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:40,920
Speaker 1: readers of the world. Blacks And has been making players.

393
00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:43,800
Speaker 1: You've written about him, obviously, Wad upfront and Merciless and

394
00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:46,880
Speaker 1: everybody else. So they're getting the baptism under fire here

395
00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:50,439
Speaker 1: and they're responding, and that's nice to see. So I

396
00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:53,200
Speaker 1: think that, no, it's not a shock, it's a bit

397
00:18:53,240 --> 00:18:56,560
Speaker 1: of a nice surprise because you thought, well, they're rookies.

398
00:18:56,600 --> 00:18:58,720
Speaker 1: Maybe look what did he do with Watson himself. He

399
00:18:58,720 --> 00:19:00,920
Speaker 1: put them on the third team, forced him to work

400
00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:03,320
Speaker 1: his way up. He's putting these guys up there because

401
00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:05,600
Speaker 1: number one, they have ability. Number two, he's got to

402
00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:09,720
Speaker 1: get him going. Yeah, they have to green light this thing.

403
00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:13,000
Speaker 1: They got to expedite this process and get these guys

404
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:14,719
Speaker 1: ready for New Orleans. All right, let's get ready for this.

405
00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:16,720
Speaker 1: We'll we'll continue with the surprises because I know we

406
00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:18,840
Speaker 1: have many more in the general joins us at eight thirty.

407
00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:23,120
Speaker 1: But let's do this now. Greg Mans play center guard

414
00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:44,960
Speaker 1: that you do a mean Mario impression, particularly when Mario

415
00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:46,639
Speaker 1: is dying in the video game. Is this something that

416
00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:50,000
Speaker 1: you've been practicing? No, Um, you know, I can't wait

417
00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:51,800
Speaker 1: to see the side by the side. Um. I guess

Speaker 1: see it. Normal. I try to avoid, you know, all

421
00:19:59,800 --> 00:20:01,320
Speaker 1: that media stuff, but I might have to take a

422
00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:03,760
Speaker 1: look at this one. Yeah, we're referring to the What's

Speaker 1: it was that made you scream. It was okay, a

426
00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:14,640
Speaker 1: pineapple or a little brickly very scary. All right, Greg,

Speaker 1: the bodies right. I heard that Deshaun Watson is sometimes

455
00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:18,000
Speaker 1: a guest at these dinners. Do you guys incorporate him?

456
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:20,719
Speaker 1: And how does that work? Do you just wanted him

457
00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:21,760
Speaker 1: to be a part of the group. Did he ask

458
00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:23,959
Speaker 1: to be part of the group you're working on chemistry? Well,

459
00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:26,120
Speaker 1: I mean I feel like quarterbacks, you know, tight ends

460
00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:28,399
Speaker 1: and running backs are also always welcome. Wide receivers have

461
00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:30,840
Speaker 1: made appearances. M We like to view it as an

462
00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:32,479
Speaker 1: offensive dinner, you know. I think the old line are

463
00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:34,920
Speaker 1: just always there because we're just that close of a group.

464
00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:37,360
Speaker 1: And the quarterbacks were there every single time last year,

465
00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:39,600
Speaker 1: you know, all of them. So m everyone sort of

466
00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:42,119
Speaker 1: you know, comms has fun, camaraderie. Um, you know, we

467
00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:43,960
Speaker 1: sort of leave the phones away so you get to

468
00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:45,520
Speaker 1: know your teamates a little better. It's a lot of fun.

469
00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:47,800
Speaker 1: Speaking of Deshaun, how has that chemistry been. He's talked

470
00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:50,160
Speaker 1: about how he's invited some of the other position groups

471
00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:51,800
Speaker 1: over to sort of work on that. How about you

472
00:21:52,119 --> 00:21:54,440
Speaker 1: guys with the old line very important to what he does?

473
00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:56,879
Speaker 1: What's that chemistry? Have been line? You know? I think,

474
00:21:56,920 --> 00:21:59,000
Speaker 1: I mean, We're very fortunate to have a great quarterback.

475
00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:01,159
Speaker 1: I'm to get to work with him. You know, I've

476
00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:02,560
Speaker 1: seen him for three years and just sort of how

477
00:22:02,600 --> 00:22:05,000
Speaker 1: he works is awesome And it's a blessing for us

478
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:06,560
Speaker 1: because he works with us so well, you know, talks

479
00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:09,240
Speaker 1: with us about everything, and like I said, we're just

480
00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:11,000
Speaker 1: trying to be the best week can to help him out.

481
00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:13,119
Speaker 1: So a little bit of goal line drills today with

482
00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:15,320
Speaker 1: the running backs. You guys got some good plays in there.

483
00:22:15,359 --> 00:22:16,840
Speaker 1: How do you how do you felt that the running

484
00:22:16,840 --> 00:22:19,240
Speaker 1: backs have done so far? And we got some great

485
00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:20,920
Speaker 1: running backs and we just got to do our job

486
00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:23,600
Speaker 1: open up some holes. You know, They've done a lot

487
00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:25,280
Speaker 1: of good things. You know, they've had some big runs

488
00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:26,600
Speaker 1: and we just have to do our part to make

489
00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:29,040
Speaker 1: sure we can open up some holes for him. All right,

490
00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:30,639
Speaker 1: let's talk about your offseason. I saw that you were

491
00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:32,879
Speaker 1: training out in Arizona with a number of players. How

492
00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:34,360
Speaker 1: did that come about? Because it's not just the old

493
00:22:34,359 --> 00:22:37,199
Speaker 1: linemen that are out there right, No, so, um, you

494
00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:38,879
Speaker 1: know there's a there's a group. I've been going there

495
00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:40,719
Speaker 1: for a couple of years. Um. It started with some

496
00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:44,160
Speaker 1: ex teammates who used to play here who aren't here anymore.

497
00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:45,720
Speaker 1: But you know, I just sort of like the area.

498
00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:47,080
Speaker 1: And on top of it, it's hot. You know, it's

499
00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:50,280
Speaker 1: not Houston hot, but different. It's it's it's a different hot.

500
00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:52,040
Speaker 1: But like I said, everything's just trying to get in

501
00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:54,280
Speaker 1: shape and get ready for this. You know, this is

502
00:22:54,280 --> 00:22:56,359
Speaker 1: the best part of the year. How excited are you

503
00:22:56,359 --> 00:22:58,239
Speaker 1: got the preseason games going up to Green Bay, having

504
00:22:58,280 --> 00:23:01,719
Speaker 1: some joint practices against some different faces, you know, honestly,

505
00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:03,479
Speaker 1: and this is gonna be corny, but I'm just excited

506
00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:05,640
Speaker 1: for tomorrow. You know, we have a big day tomorrow.

507
00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:07,719
Speaker 1: I gonna be having some fun full pads and I'm

508
00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:09,520
Speaker 1: just looking forward to that. We are looking forward to

509
00:23:09,560 --> 00:23:11,200
Speaker 1: tomorrow two, and we're always looking forward to an interview

Speaker 1: with Greg Man's. Thank you so much for absolutely thank

511
00:23:13,080 --> 00:23:16,680

Speaker 1: keep it in the day, one day at a time.

513
00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:21,440
Speaker 1: It sounds so simple and obvious. You know, simple doesn't

514
00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:24,919
Speaker 1: mean easy. Simple, No, You're at the goal, you're at

515
00:23:24,920 --> 00:23:27,160
Speaker 1: the two yard. It's simple. Just just knock him out

516
00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:29,000
Speaker 1: of the way and punch the ball. And it's simple,

517
00:23:29,359 --> 00:23:34,040
Speaker 1: but it's difficult. See, yeah, it's not complicated. It's simple,

518
00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:37,399
Speaker 1: but it's hard. Like it's an important distinction to make here.

519
00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:40,840
Speaker 1: I love when you tap into your your yodae, your

520

00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:53,880
Speaker 1: I asked him. I told him when I interviewed him,

524
00:23:54,200 --> 00:23:56,280
Speaker 1: because he was he got here late last year when

525

Speaker 1: well we'll see. Well he agrees with me. And he said,

528
00:24:06,160 --> 00:24:09,240

Speaker 1: he called this dry. He called this dry. And I

530
00:24:11,680 --> 00:24:14,080
Speaker 1: told you this is dry compared to Florida. And you

00:24:18,320 --> 00:24:22,560
Speaker 1: different things. But I mean it's uh boy, I mean,

534
00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:26,280
Speaker 1: there's not a lot of difference in Jacksonville, where I lived.

Speaker 1: the season. I gotta be light on my feet, John,

570
00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:17,200
Speaker 1: I gotta be able to run fast, move around during

571
00:26:17,359 --> 00:26:21,399
Speaker 1: the bathroom during breaks. That's no joke either. You know

572
00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:22,960
Speaker 1: when we were doing the Hall of Fame game, I've

573
00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:24,760
Speaker 1: told the story before that was the very first game

574
00:26:24,760 --> 00:26:27,200
Speaker 1: in the history of the franchise. You know, I went

575
00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:29,080
Speaker 1: down to the bathroom. There was only one bathroom in

576
00:26:29,119 --> 00:26:31,760
Speaker 1: that old press box at Fawcett Stadium, and they were like,

577
00:26:31,800 --> 00:26:34,560
Speaker 1: we're holding it for John Madden and I'm like, holding

578
00:26:34,600 --> 00:26:37,680
Speaker 1: what now? They're holding the bathroom for John Madden. I

579
00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:39,720
Speaker 1: thought this could take a while, This could take a while.

580
00:26:39,720 --> 00:26:41,600
Speaker 1: This is a really big problem for me. But we

581
00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:45,239
Speaker 1: got through it somehow. Anyway. General biggest surprise, or give

582
00:26:45,280 --> 00:26:47,520
Speaker 1: me a couple of surprises, not necessarily the biggest, but

583
00:26:47,560 --> 00:26:50,200
Speaker 1: a couple of surprises so far in this week's camp.

584
00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:54,280
Speaker 1: As we are one week in. I've said this before

585
00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:58,040
Speaker 1: and I'll say it again because he's been terrific. Jordan

586
00:26:58,080 --> 00:27:01,359
Speaker 1: Nakins Okay was the third round pick, but he didn't

587
00:27:01,359 --> 00:27:05,000
Speaker 1: have a touchdown as a rookie. He caught twenty eight passes.

588
00:27:05,160 --> 00:27:09,320
Speaker 1: But he's taken advantage of Kaholly Wearing being out and

589
00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:12,840
Speaker 1: now Jordan Thomas being out. They moved him around. He

590
00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:16,840
Speaker 1: just seems like he's having so much fun. He's comfortable

591
00:27:17,359 --> 00:27:20,680
Speaker 1: with what they're having him do, confident, and Bill O'Brien

592
00:27:20,760 --> 00:27:23,919
Speaker 1: coaches have really talked him up. Of course he's not.

593
00:27:24,920 --> 00:27:29,760
Speaker 1: Nobody O'Brien brings up a J. Moore the fourth safety

594
00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:34,040
Speaker 1: without anybody asking. I wrote today he will be the

595
00:27:34,080 --> 00:27:37,680
Speaker 1: fourth safety. I mean, I'm totally confident in the top

596
00:27:37,760 --> 00:27:41,000
Speaker 1: four safeties, not the top corners. I think a corner

597
00:27:41,080 --> 00:27:43,760
Speaker 1: could still be one of their corners, could still be

598
00:27:43,800 --> 00:27:48,000
Speaker 1: on another team. But I'm confident the first fourth safeties.

599
00:27:48,440 --> 00:27:52,639
Speaker 1: Reading Gibson of course as the starter. Jil Jellil, a

600
00:27:52,760 --> 00:27:57,280
Speaker 1: guy who looks a lot shorter than he's listed as

601
00:27:57,320 --> 00:28:00,400
Speaker 1: the third one. And then more, who's a great special

602
00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:04,040
Speaker 1: teams player? That guy if a coach, if all coaches

603
00:28:04,119 --> 00:28:07,159
Speaker 1: love somebody, then that guy has got a chance to

604
00:28:07,160 --> 00:28:09,679
Speaker 1: be special. Of course they claimed him last year and

605
00:28:09,680 --> 00:28:12,360
Speaker 1: he was one of the best special teams players as

606
00:28:12,359 --> 00:28:16,119
Speaker 1: it was. And if the offensive lineman where we're all looking.

607
00:28:17,480 --> 00:28:21,399
Speaker 1: We're all talking about Macalil being healthy. That's great, and

608
00:28:21,400 --> 00:28:24,520
Speaker 1: we're talking about Titus Howard and that's fine. But Mac

609
00:28:24,600 --> 00:28:27,520
Speaker 1: Sharping has moved back and forth between tackle and guard,

610
00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:30,399
Speaker 1: and I think we're overlooking him because he was the

611
00:28:30,920 --> 00:28:34,800
Speaker 1: pick behind Titus Howard. But I believe there's a good

612
00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:38,200
Speaker 1: chance Sharping will start at guard and as we've talked

613
00:28:38,240 --> 00:28:41,320
Speaker 1: twice about how physically is you know, he's six six

614
00:28:41,360 --> 00:28:44,280
Speaker 1: and three twenty seven. If he and Howard were to

615
00:28:44,360 --> 00:28:47,200
Speaker 1: start at guard, with Khalil and Anderson, they have one

616
00:28:47,200 --> 00:28:49,320
Speaker 1: of the biggest offensive lines in the league, not counting

617
00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:55,400
Speaker 1: Nick Martin, but watching sharping out here make the transition

618
00:28:55,440 --> 00:28:58,600
Speaker 1: to guard because he doesn't have great feet, I could

619
00:28:58,600 --> 00:29:01,200
Speaker 1: see him starting there for a long long time. John,

620
00:29:01,240 --> 00:29:04,400
Speaker 1: you mentioned that were confident. Is there anything at the

621
00:29:04,440 --> 00:29:07,080
Speaker 1: beginning of camp that you were truly confident in that

622
00:29:07,640 --> 00:29:10,840
Speaker 1: seven eight days into camp that you're going, Well, maybe

623
00:29:10,840 --> 00:29:16,040
Speaker 1: I'm not as confident in that anymore. Let's see, John,

624
00:29:16,120 --> 00:29:19,360
Speaker 1: that's a good question. It's usually the other way around.

625
00:29:19,440 --> 00:29:22,960
Speaker 1: Like I still think corners the biggest concern on the team,

626
00:29:23,600 --> 00:29:27,560
Speaker 1: and Watson is the one that we're all watching the

627
00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:33,440
Speaker 1: most and have the most confidence in. Maybe the tight

628
00:29:33,560 --> 00:29:36,360
Speaker 1: ends just because wearing this so much time Thomas is

629
00:29:36,360 --> 00:29:40,400
Speaker 1: out now, I thought Thomas and especially he would be

630
00:29:40,440 --> 00:29:43,840
Speaker 1: doing what Jordan Nakins is doing. And I still think

631
00:29:43,840 --> 00:29:45,680
Speaker 1: there's a good chance Thomas is going to start the

632
00:29:45,680 --> 00:29:48,600
Speaker 1: first game against New Orleans. And last year I think

633
00:29:48,640 --> 00:29:51,560
Speaker 1: six games they started two tight ends, and I think

634
00:29:51,600 --> 00:29:55,920
Speaker 1: that would be Aikins and Thomas unless Wearing bounces back

635
00:29:55,920 --> 00:29:58,800
Speaker 1: from this slow start. I said on six ten this week,

636
00:29:58,800 --> 00:30:01,640
Speaker 1: I think Wearing gonna start the second half of the season,

637
00:30:01,680 --> 00:30:03,840
Speaker 1: and people are like, oh my god, I don't see that.

638
00:30:04,520 --> 00:30:08,120
Speaker 1: And I'm basing it on what I'm being told about.

639
00:30:08,240 --> 00:30:12,560
Speaker 1: Number one, the off season program and going into the

640
00:30:12,880 --> 00:30:17,000
Speaker 1: training camp, and yes he's fallen behind, but it's just

641
00:30:17,120 --> 00:30:20,120
Speaker 1: how good they think he's gonna be, not just as

642
00:30:20,120 --> 00:30:22,840
Speaker 1: a receiver, but as a blocker. And when they get

643
00:30:22,840 --> 00:30:26,400
Speaker 1: to Green Bay and you can see hit people legitimately,

644
00:30:26,520 --> 00:30:28,360
Speaker 1: that's when we're gonna know a lot more about it.

645
00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:30,680
Speaker 1: And Jordan Thomas is going to be a better blocker

646
00:30:30,720 --> 00:30:34,400
Speaker 1: this year. You know, he's two hundred seventy seven pounds

647
00:30:34,400 --> 00:30:36,480
Speaker 1: and wearing his list in two fifty two. He was

648
00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:39,920
Speaker 1: two fifty six in the off season program. I bet

649
00:30:39,920 --> 00:30:42,680
Speaker 1: he's up like two sixty now. I can't wait to

650
00:30:42,720 --> 00:30:45,400
Speaker 1: see him take on people and see if he's that

651
00:30:45,680 --> 00:30:48,800
Speaker 1: rare commodity to today, a tight end who can line

652
00:30:48,880 --> 00:30:51,480
Speaker 1: up anywhere, plus get on the line of scrimmage and

653
00:30:51,640 --> 00:30:54,400
Speaker 1: knock people's blocks off. Well. It was great to see

654
00:30:54,440 --> 00:30:56,520
Speaker 1: Wearing back yesterday. By the way, Chelsea, pull up that

655
00:30:57,040 --> 00:31:01,040
Speaker 1: Bob two cut O'Brien's second cut on wearing. I want

656
00:31:01,040 --> 00:31:03,440
Speaker 1: to hear that because you talk about some guys getting

657
00:31:03,440 --> 00:31:06,720
Speaker 1: the rookie treatment, of course, and wearing his first day back,

658
00:31:06,760 --> 00:31:09,160
Speaker 1: you want the rookie treatment for Bill O'Brien. Miss a

659
00:31:09,160 --> 00:31:11,320
Speaker 1: week of practice doesn't matter. I mean, it's a legitimate

660
00:31:11,320 --> 00:31:14,400
Speaker 1: injury whatever, But you miss a week of practice, come out.

661
00:31:14,640 --> 00:31:17,239
Speaker 1: Everybody wants to see other guys. Everybody's excited about him.

662
00:31:17,280 --> 00:31:20,240
Speaker 1: And then O'Brien says this, Yeah, it was all right.

663
00:31:20,320 --> 00:31:22,640
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, like these guys like they miss

664
00:31:22,720 --> 00:31:24,880
Speaker 1: like all this time and then they come out there

665
00:31:24,920 --> 00:31:28,040
Speaker 1: and what you may think is moving around. Well, I'm

666
00:31:28,080 --> 00:31:30,000
Speaker 1: not sure I would agree on that with you, you

667
00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:32,520
Speaker 1: know what I mean, Like I just would say that

668
00:31:32,560 --> 00:31:34,000
Speaker 1: he needs to be out there. I mean, it's just

669
00:31:34,040 --> 00:31:35,560
Speaker 1: like Charles A Mena, who you know, he's been out

670
00:31:35,600 --> 00:31:37,920
Speaker 1: there and knock on wood every day he gets better,

671
00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:41,080
Speaker 1: you know, like and call he's a he's a great kid.

672
00:31:41,200 --> 00:31:43,600
Speaker 1: But you know they you know, they're they're young. They

673
00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:48,480
Speaker 1: don't understand hydration, they don't understand nutrition. They everything's brand

674
00:31:48,520 --> 00:31:51,080
Speaker 1: new to him. You know, and so the most important

675
00:31:51,120 --> 00:31:53,720
Speaker 1: thing is you have to be on the field. How

676
00:31:53,760 --> 00:31:57,560
Speaker 1: many times did O'Brien say yesterday talking about different players

677
00:31:58,000 --> 00:32:01,240
Speaker 1: about they're on the field, so they gonna get better. Yeah,

678
00:32:01,320 --> 00:32:04,120
Speaker 1: they've been out there every day. That's important of coaches.

679
00:32:04,160 --> 00:32:07,680
Speaker 1: He knows the injuries at legit, but you know, you

680
00:32:07,720 --> 00:32:11,440
Speaker 1: don't want to linger. So there's nothing like a rookie

681
00:32:11,480 --> 00:32:14,400
Speaker 1: who's herd to get on the bad side of a coach.

682
00:32:14,480 --> 00:32:16,880
Speaker 1: But he can makeup Lord now and he may mention

683
00:32:17,040 --> 00:32:19,520
Speaker 1: Charles many of who's been out there every day, and

684
00:32:19,640 --> 00:32:22,880
Speaker 1: that's important, especially for young guys, not just rookies, but

685
00:32:22,920 --> 00:32:25,120
Speaker 1: those guys like Jordan Nakins has been out there every

686
00:32:25,160 --> 00:32:27,120
Speaker 1: day and has been tearing it up. Is a matter

687
00:32:27,120 --> 00:32:29,040
Speaker 1: who a bit of a surprise, I mean, Johnny, you

688
00:32:29,080 --> 00:32:32,200
Speaker 1: feel like, not necessarily a surprise, but it's just great

689
00:32:32,240 --> 00:32:35,080
Speaker 1: to see him doing some good things. So far, so good. Yeah,

690
00:32:35,240 --> 00:32:39,000
Speaker 1: I don't Yeah, surprises maybe not the right word. But

691
00:32:39,040 --> 00:32:41,440
Speaker 1: there are times where he flashes where you go, WHOA

692
00:32:41,880 --> 00:32:44,760
Speaker 1: I think for Charles and they call him Chuck. I

693
00:32:44,800 --> 00:32:47,840
Speaker 1: hear that a lot. Nice play Chuck, Nice play Chuck,

694
00:32:47,960 --> 00:32:50,120
Speaker 1: Like I hear that a lot. So that tells you

695
00:32:50,200 --> 00:32:53,360
Speaker 1: he's been making plays in practice. But it's just and

696
00:32:53,800 --> 00:32:55,760
Speaker 1: and John you can speak this because you've seen rookies

697
00:32:55,760 --> 00:32:58,360
Speaker 1: for a number of years. It's the consistency, Like you

698
00:32:58,440 --> 00:33:01,200
Speaker 1: see the flashes, You see some of the really good things,

699
00:33:01,200 --> 00:33:03,520
Speaker 1: but then they disappear for eight to ten plays. And

700
00:33:03,560 --> 00:33:05,720
Speaker 1: then sometimes they disappear for our practice because you know

701
00:33:05,720 --> 00:33:08,240
Speaker 1: they're dealing with a hammy or quad or whatever the

702
00:33:08,280 --> 00:33:11,560
Speaker 1: case might be. But I think it's the consistency for

703
00:33:11,640 --> 00:33:15,040
Speaker 1: Charles A. Manner who in particular, and Bill talked about

704
00:33:15,080 --> 00:33:16,800
Speaker 1: him yesterday, and what's the first thing he said about

705
00:33:16,880 --> 00:33:19,880
Speaker 1: him was he's out here every day. Yeah, he's out

706
00:33:19,920 --> 00:33:23,640
Speaker 1: here every day. The availability of a player, and he's

707
00:33:23,640 --> 00:33:26,000
Speaker 1: always talked about that. I remember talking about Braxton Miller.

708
00:33:26,040 --> 00:33:28,680
Speaker 1: Braxton was one of those guys that could never get

709
00:33:28,760 --> 00:33:30,680
Speaker 1: himself healthy enough. He's like, look when Brax is out

710
00:33:30,720 --> 00:33:34,240
Speaker 1: of here consistent period of time, he improved him and

711
00:33:34,280 --> 00:33:36,280
Speaker 1: there were high hopes for him, and but it just

712
00:33:36,320 --> 00:33:37,960
Speaker 1: he wasn't able to be out here all the time,

713
00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:40,560
Speaker 1: and other guys were out of every day and moved

714
00:33:40,600 --> 00:33:43,440
Speaker 1: past him and beyond John. You mentioned the secondary of

715
00:33:43,440 --> 00:33:45,800
Speaker 1: a second ago. What's when your overall impression of that

716
00:33:45,880 --> 00:33:49,360
Speaker 1: group thus far going against Hopkins, QT and Field and well,

717
00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:52,120
Speaker 1: the safeties are not in as Gue, the corners are

718
00:33:52,120 --> 00:33:54,920
Speaker 1: in Ashu. And what's been good so far is Bradley

719
00:33:54,960 --> 00:33:57,600
Speaker 1: Roby's really turned it on. And that would be so

720
00:33:57,720 --> 00:34:00,800
Speaker 1: important if he could come in here played the way

721
00:34:00,800 --> 00:34:03,720
Speaker 1: he played when he was the third corner in Denver,

722
00:34:03,800 --> 00:34:06,600
Speaker 1: when he was really good with Chris Harris Junior in

723
00:34:06,640 --> 00:34:09,280
Speaker 1: the Keep To League, and then last year he didn't.

724
00:34:09,320 --> 00:34:13,480
Speaker 1: And now you know, last year he had advanced Joseph

725
00:34:13,560 --> 00:34:16,560
Speaker 1: as the coach. Maybe things changed there. You know, they

726
00:34:16,600 --> 00:34:18,799
Speaker 1: had a bad season. Maybe one of the reasons he

727
00:34:18,880 --> 00:34:22,600
Speaker 1: had a bad season was system putting him in places

728
00:34:22,640 --> 00:34:25,480
Speaker 1: that he hadn't been. I don't know, but he's looked

729
00:34:25,560 --> 00:34:27,880
Speaker 1: really good after here, after missing there's so much of

730
00:34:27,880 --> 00:34:31,160
Speaker 1: the offseason program. We're having a hamstring injury, and then

731
00:34:31,920 --> 00:34:37,200
Speaker 1: Colvin you know, i'll, i'll, I don't know if what

732
00:34:37,320 --> 00:34:39,560
Speaker 1: they're gonna do in the slot. You know, there's so

733
00:34:39,640 --> 00:34:43,640
Speaker 1: much pressure on him. He's got a veteran Boddy Calhoun

734
00:34:43,719 --> 00:34:47,279
Speaker 1: and then the rookie Xavier Crawford behind him. You know,

735
00:34:47,360 --> 00:34:50,480
Speaker 1: maybe Lonnie Johnson Junior who came back. That was good.

736
00:34:51,000 --> 00:34:55,040
Speaker 1: Johnson's physical, He's an awesome specimen. But with only one

737
00:34:55,120 --> 00:34:58,680
Speaker 1: year at college at Kentucky, he's gonna be it's gonna

738
00:34:58,719 --> 00:35:01,600
Speaker 1: take him a while to figure out what they had.

739
00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:07,000
Speaker 1: Romeo Canell wants right and so um and then j Joe.

740
00:35:07,160 --> 00:35:09,080
Speaker 1: You know, j Joe, he is what he is. He's

741
00:35:09,120 --> 00:35:12,319
Speaker 1: thirty five, he's smart, he's still a good player. But

742
00:35:12,520 --> 00:35:15,640
Speaker 1: they gotta have those would be their first four, right,

743
00:35:15,960 --> 00:35:19,239
Speaker 1: And it's scary when you think about the quarterbacks and

744
00:35:19,360 --> 00:35:24,040
Speaker 1: the receivers. I've been talking about for weeks, the quarterbacks

745
00:35:24,040 --> 00:35:26,279
Speaker 1: in the first seven games. At some point I'm on

746
00:35:26,440 --> 00:35:30,440
Speaker 1: talking about the receivers of the first Thomas Keenan Allen,

747
00:35:31,360 --> 00:35:38,120
Speaker 1: let's let's go. Williams. Oh boy, KILLI Hilton? Oh yeah,

748
00:35:38,200 --> 00:35:40,600
Speaker 1: Julio Jones, is he any good? So yeah, you're right.

749
00:35:41,400 --> 00:35:43,400
Speaker 1: Get a thing up. And I get it with the

750
00:35:43,440 --> 00:35:46,280
Speaker 1: greaky trade and the clamor around town, like, oh my gosh,

751
00:35:46,320 --> 00:35:47,839
Speaker 1: now the Texans have to make a move, Like wait

752
00:35:47,840 --> 00:35:49,799
Speaker 1: a minute, one has nothing to do with the other.

753
00:35:50,200 --> 00:35:53,080
Speaker 1: And everyone's talking about Trent Williams and everything. But here's

754
00:35:53,080 --> 00:35:55,919
Speaker 1: the thing. I really like what I'm seeing I said,

755
00:35:56,040 --> 00:35:59,239
Speaker 1: the seedlings on the offensive line, let's hope they grow

756
00:35:59,280 --> 00:36:02,680
Speaker 1: fast enough to pay dividends. But you just highlighted a

757
00:36:02,719 --> 00:36:05,520
Speaker 1: position group where if you have one injury, you get

758
00:36:05,560 --> 00:36:08,279
Speaker 1: thin so quickly. So that might be somewhere where they

759
00:36:08,320 --> 00:36:12,120
Speaker 1: look for some extra One might be one mediocre performance

760
00:36:12,200 --> 00:36:15,040
Speaker 1: or something like that. You know, you've got a lot

761
00:36:15,080 --> 00:36:17,839
Speaker 1: of pressure on four guys who are gonna play a

762
00:36:17,880 --> 00:36:20,880
Speaker 1: whole lot. One of them is gonna get hurt, maybe

763
00:36:20,880 --> 00:36:23,720
Speaker 1: two of them gonna get hurt. They need to find

764
00:36:23,800 --> 00:36:26,480
Speaker 1: somebody at cornerback to come in here. And I'm not

765
00:36:26,640 --> 00:36:29,520
Speaker 1: know if it's a slot somebody can play bez, but

766
00:36:29,640 --> 00:36:34,320
Speaker 1: I would look for a corner who's been a third receiver,

767
00:36:35,400 --> 00:36:38,760
Speaker 1: a guy who's been a slot corner. And I wouldn't

768
00:36:38,760 --> 00:36:41,440
Speaker 1: trade a one or two. But we've talked about this

769
00:36:41,680 --> 00:36:45,719
Speaker 1: that they could have three compensatory pigs, possibly threes for

770
00:36:45,880 --> 00:36:49,080
Speaker 1: Matthews and Kareem Jackson based on what they were paid

771
00:36:49,160 --> 00:36:51,680
Speaker 1: and based on how they play, So that would make

772
00:36:51,719 --> 00:36:54,799
Speaker 1: your three expendable. Well, I think that there's also the possibility,

773
00:36:54,840 --> 00:36:57,960
Speaker 1: guys of somebody rising up here. You know, I'm not

774
00:36:58,040 --> 00:37:00,560
Speaker 1: counting on it necessarily, but when you look at the

775
00:37:00,560 --> 00:37:03,560
Speaker 1: aj boy a phenomenon something like that. Because I'm talking

776
00:37:03,560 --> 00:37:05,560
Speaker 1: to a guy for practice today and I'm eager to

777
00:37:05,560 --> 00:37:07,960
Speaker 1: talk to him. Deante Burton, who got into the game

778
00:37:08,000 --> 00:37:10,160
Speaker 1: against Philadelphia. Look, we all know they didn't make a

779
00:37:10,160 --> 00:37:12,680
Speaker 1: big stop at the end, but he's played a little bit. Now,

780
00:37:12,760 --> 00:37:15,239
Speaker 1: maybe this camp he makes a big job. Second year,

781
00:37:15,320 --> 00:37:19,360
Speaker 1: officially accredited out of Kansas State and he's a big corner.

782
00:37:19,680 --> 00:37:22,040
Speaker 1: Maybe he could turn out to be something. You have

783
00:37:22,120 --> 00:37:23,960
Speaker 1: to allow for that possibility. I don't know if you

784
00:37:23,960 --> 00:37:26,120
Speaker 1: can necessarily count on You can't count on it, you

785
00:37:26,200 --> 00:37:29,200
Speaker 1: can't plan on it. They gotta get another corner and

786
00:37:29,239 --> 00:37:31,840
Speaker 1: they're gonna have to overpay to get one. Because everybody,

787
00:37:32,160 --> 00:37:34,640
Speaker 1: if you're looking right now and you don't have injuries,

788
00:37:34,920 --> 00:37:38,759
Speaker 1: they know why you're looking. And this secondary you know it.

789
00:37:38,920 --> 00:37:41,719
Speaker 1: You know it did well until down the stretch and

790
00:37:41,760 --> 00:37:45,600
Speaker 1: it just got bombarded and that and in the first

791
00:37:45,600 --> 00:37:48,720
Speaker 1: half of the playoff game. It's it's got to be better.

792
00:37:49,080 --> 00:37:51,560
Speaker 1: It's got to be safety. I think will be I

793
00:37:51,600 --> 00:37:55,760
Speaker 1: guess the upside. The high side is, hey, Robie works

794
00:37:55,760 --> 00:37:58,919
Speaker 1: out great. J Joe stays healthy, He's playing well still

795
00:37:58,960 --> 00:38:02,720
Speaker 1: at his fourteenth year and somehow Colvin uh does everything

796
00:38:02,760 --> 00:38:05,960
Speaker 1: you want to do last year want Yeah, and Johnson develops.

797
00:38:06,000 --> 00:38:08,680
Speaker 1: There's your depth with Crawford or whoever else, maybe Burton

798
00:38:08,760 --> 00:38:11,000
Speaker 1: or one of those other guys. Five, that's four things

799
00:38:11,120 --> 00:38:13,960
Speaker 1: right there, I need well, I know, but maybe maybe

800
00:38:13,960 --> 00:38:16,600
Speaker 1: that maybe three of those come through. Forty three of

801
00:38:16,640 --> 00:38:19,320
Speaker 1: those things and that's enough to do it. But again

802
00:38:19,680 --> 00:38:22,560
Speaker 1: it's it's risky. Well, going into last year's opening game,

803
00:38:23,160 --> 00:38:26,080
Speaker 1: we knew that corner depth was probably not great going

804
00:38:26,080 --> 00:38:28,400
Speaker 1: in where like boy, fingers crossed, everybody stays healthy. And

805
00:38:28,400 --> 00:38:30,399
Speaker 1: what happened within the first half of that game, Kevin

806
00:38:30,440 --> 00:38:33,520
Speaker 1: Johnson went down Yeah, no, all a sudden, like all right,

807
00:38:33,560 --> 00:38:35,400
Speaker 1: we gotta go. You gotta go get Sharis, right, you

808
00:38:35,440 --> 00:38:37,480
Speaker 1: gotta go get km On Webster, you gotta go. You

809
00:38:37,520 --> 00:38:40,200
Speaker 1: gotta do those things. And it's like, oh boy, you

810
00:38:40,360 --> 00:38:46,200
Speaker 1: really want that depth to be at a pretty quality level.

811
00:38:46,239 --> 00:38:49,000
Speaker 1: And that I think they're still they're still working on

812
00:38:49,000 --> 00:38:51,920
Speaker 1: on building. But look, the guys, the players that the

813
00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:53,879
Speaker 1: quarterbacks that they faced at the end of last year,

814
00:38:54,200 --> 00:38:56,800
Speaker 1: they're gonna see all early in the season, Nick Foles

815
00:38:57,360 --> 00:39:01,160
Speaker 1: Andrew Luck to see these guys all at the beginning

816
00:39:01,640 --> 00:39:04,640
Speaker 1: of this particular season that they saw last year. So, um,

817
00:39:04,920 --> 00:39:06,359
Speaker 1: the second year is gonna be put to the test.

818
00:39:06,400 --> 00:39:09,240
Speaker 1: I think going to Green Bay against Aaron Rodgers, seeing

819
00:39:09,239 --> 00:39:11,560
Speaker 1: Matt Stafford for a couple of days in practice, I

820
00:39:11,600 --> 00:39:14,440
Speaker 1: think that's gonna do them. It's gonna do a world

821
00:39:14,440 --> 00:39:16,840
Speaker 1: of good, especially for the younger guys, a guy like

822
00:39:16,920 --> 00:39:19,759
Speaker 1: Lonnie Johnson. It's gonna do wonders for them to see

823
00:39:19,760 --> 00:39:22,520
Speaker 1: a guy who knows all the tricks. Hey, how does

824
00:39:22,520 --> 00:39:25,040
Speaker 1: he use his eyes? You know, that's something that maybe

825
00:39:25,080 --> 00:39:26,879
Speaker 1: Aaron does because he's been doing it for a while,

826
00:39:26,920 --> 00:39:28,960
Speaker 1: that maybe Deshan is working on but he's not quite

827
00:39:29,000 --> 00:39:31,040
Speaker 1: there yet that you're not seeing. So I think it's

828
00:39:31,080 --> 00:39:34,040
Speaker 1: really gonna help to see them. John tonight we got football.

829
00:39:34,560 --> 00:39:37,680
Speaker 1: There's football tonight. Yeah, there's football tonight Denver in Atlanta.

830
00:39:37,880 --> 00:39:40,200
Speaker 1: You know I'll be watching, but yeah, we'll watch for

831
00:39:40,200 --> 00:39:42,960
Speaker 1: a little bit. But of course he's not gonna see

832
00:39:42,960 --> 00:39:44,560
Speaker 1: the players. Don't care about the game, really, I care

833
00:39:44,560 --> 00:39:46,759
Speaker 1: about the Hall of Fame and you, obviously a Hall

834
00:39:46,760 --> 00:39:49,280
Speaker 1: of Fame voter. Where's your all feeling about this? Class

835
00:39:49,320 --> 00:39:54,520
Speaker 1: ty law Edred Anthony Gonzalez Kevin Mawai, Ty Law, Pat Bowland,

836
00:39:54,840 --> 00:39:58,080
Speaker 1: Johnny Robinson and Gil Brant. What was your feeling of

837
00:39:58,120 --> 00:40:00,920
Speaker 1: that class? Three verse balladers? And I'm glad we did.

838
00:40:01,000 --> 00:40:04,239
Speaker 1: I'm glad ty Law got in there his unusually put

839
00:40:04,280 --> 00:40:07,000
Speaker 1: in two corner bags. But I'm glad Bailey deserved it

840
00:40:07,040 --> 00:40:10,120
Speaker 1: on the first ballot. I've thought ty Laws deserved it

841
00:40:10,160 --> 00:40:12,600
Speaker 1: for quite a while now. I was really happy to

842
00:40:12,640 --> 00:40:16,040
Speaker 1: see Gil Brandt getting as a contributor because Gills made

843
00:40:16,040 --> 00:40:18,759
Speaker 1: an impact on the NFL since Cowboys hired him in

844
00:40:19,239 --> 00:40:22,960
Speaker 1: nineteen fifty nine, and he was impactful on everything they

845
00:40:23,040 --> 00:40:25,799
Speaker 1: did for thirty years before Jerry Jones fired him. And

846
00:40:25,840 --> 00:40:29,000
Speaker 1: he's been working for the NFL for thirty years. So Gill,

847
00:40:29,040 --> 00:40:33,200
Speaker 1: who's eighty five years old, and I'm really happy for him. Sorry,

848
00:40:33,200 --> 00:40:36,800
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna be there, but I love this class.

849
00:40:37,200 --> 00:40:39,279
Speaker 1: And you know the Texans. I guess I should have

850
00:40:39,320 --> 00:40:41,320
Speaker 1: gone up there and done a story on the Texan

851
00:40:41,440 --> 00:40:44,120
Speaker 1: getting a Texan getting in the Hall of Fame, a

852
00:40:44,239 --> 00:40:47,840
Speaker 1: Texan getting stifling a laugh. I could see it on

853
00:40:47,920 --> 00:40:51,080
Speaker 1: his he We know that general enough. He's stifling the

854
00:40:51,120 --> 00:40:56,880
Speaker 1: worst free agent move in Texans history. He was terrible

855
00:40:56,960 --> 00:40:59,040
Speaker 1: But when the whole fame posted a picture of Edred

856
00:40:59,080 --> 00:41:03,279
Speaker 1: the other day, they big Ravens picture, Texans picture, did

857
00:41:03,280 --> 00:41:06,160
Speaker 1: they really this game? Believe this? Didn't make him take

858
00:41:06,200 --> 00:41:08,239
Speaker 1: that down? This is a debate I don't really want

859
00:41:08,239 --> 00:41:12,279
Speaker 1: to have. But isn't Osweiler maybe up there? Man? I know,

860
00:41:12,360 --> 00:41:16,360
Speaker 1: I look, yeah, I don't. I mean they won nine games?

861
00:41:16,480 --> 00:41:18,359
Speaker 1: And who did they get rid of to get Ed Reid?

862
00:41:18,400 --> 00:41:21,080
Speaker 1: He just retired after And what was the record in

863
00:41:21,120 --> 00:41:23,839
Speaker 1: twenty twelve and what was the record in twenty thirteen. Yeah,

864
00:41:24,040 --> 00:41:26,160
Speaker 1: I don't. I'm a general on this one. I think

865
00:41:26,280 --> 00:41:29,360
Speaker 1: it was Ed Reid make it. That was a tremendous mistake.

866
00:41:29,920 --> 00:41:33,120
Speaker 1: It wasn't mistake. I'll never forget because Aaron Wilson, the

867
00:41:33,160 --> 00:41:35,920
Speaker 1: works with me, covered the Ravens for the Baltimore Sun,

868
00:41:36,360 --> 00:41:38,600
Speaker 1: and when they made that move, he said Ed as

869
00:41:38,640 --> 00:41:41,840
Speaker 1: a knack for going off on his own and getting surgery,

870
00:41:41,920 --> 00:41:44,200
Speaker 1: keep an eye out. Then he went out and got

871
00:41:44,280 --> 00:41:46,840
Speaker 1: hip surgery without things I don't do go off on

872
00:41:46,920 --> 00:41:49,479
Speaker 1: my own and that surgery. Hey, honey, I'm not gonna

873
00:41:49,480 --> 00:41:52,080
Speaker 1: tell you this, but I'm having surgery. General, what do

874
00:41:52,160 --> 00:41:54,520
Speaker 1: you have going out of the Houston Chronicle. I'm doing

875
00:41:54,520 --> 00:41:57,520
Speaker 1: a big story on Sunday about Deshaun Watson and they

876
00:41:57,560 --> 00:41:59,440
Speaker 1: showed him film as a rookie of a lot of

877
00:41:59,480 --> 00:42:02,360
Speaker 1: Mobile coreox and the one they really focused on was

878
00:42:02,400 --> 00:42:05,600
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers and what he wants to do with Rogers

879
00:42:05,600 --> 00:42:09,080
Speaker 1: while he's there. Aaron Wilson and I will have stories

880
00:42:09,120 --> 00:42:12,399
Speaker 1: every day and we have things on Texas Sports Nation,

Speaker 1: anything else we can think of. We can have him

893
00:42:45,239 --> 00:42:46,799
Speaker 1: on for about three hours, but I don't think he

894
00:42:46,800 --> 00:42:50,960
Speaker 1: would approve of that anyway. Next up, linebackers, the position

Speaker 1: Something something you can't say more because they're not gonna

908
00:43:39,680 --> 00:43:42,120
Speaker 1: get it. Tivity fails, Yeah, exactly, and I haven't prepared

909
00:43:42,120 --> 00:43:43,960
Speaker 1: the properties for that. So that's all I'll say about

910
00:43:43,960 --> 00:43:46,279
Speaker 1: that right now. But right now it's time to break

911
00:43:46,280 --> 00:43:48,239
Speaker 1: down a position group. We do it every day and

912
00:43:48,360 --> 00:43:53,960
Speaker 1: today it's linebackers. Let's do this. Let's go, Let's go

913
00:43:54,040 --> 00:43:56,959
Speaker 1: inside and outside inside, and outside. All right, let's start

914
00:43:56,960 --> 00:44:00,320
Speaker 1: with the Pro Bowler, the man in the middle, Ornard

915
00:44:00,400 --> 00:44:02,759
Speaker 1: Rick McKinney. I mean, he's the truth. I mean, he's

916
00:44:02,800 --> 00:44:06,040
Speaker 1: the captain, He's the guy that communicates back in front.

917
00:44:06,520 --> 00:44:11,080
Speaker 1: He does everything. I felt like when he had any

918
00:44:11,040 --> 00:44:13,560
Speaker 1: of the Pro Bowl last year, there was a lot

919
00:44:13,640 --> 00:44:15,520
Speaker 1: of a lot of talk abou Terius Leonard to go

920
00:44:15,560 --> 00:44:18,000
Speaker 1: to Pro Bowl, and there was partly how Darius Leonard

921
00:44:18,080 --> 00:44:22,120
Speaker 1: is labeled as an outside linebacker, so it's it's weird,

922
00:44:22,160 --> 00:44:25,000
Speaker 1: but anyways, there's a lot of talk about that. The

923
00:44:25,160 --> 00:44:27,880
Speaker 1: very next game was the Jets game. B Mac was

924
00:44:27,960 --> 00:44:30,160
Speaker 1: phenomenal in that game. I talked to him afterwards and

925
00:44:30,200 --> 00:44:32,640
Speaker 1: I said, I don't know that I've seen you play

926
00:44:32,640 --> 00:44:34,799
Speaker 1: a better game. So it was like, I know, he

927
00:44:34,800 --> 00:44:40,080
Speaker 1: didn't listen or take in all of that the criticism,

928
00:44:40,400 --> 00:44:42,600
Speaker 1: but it almost felt like he did, like it motivated him.

929
00:44:42,800 --> 00:44:44,239
Speaker 1: He's the guy you got to having a field. I'll

930
00:44:44,239 --> 00:44:46,280
Speaker 1: tell you them one thing when he came here in fifteen,

931
00:44:46,320 --> 00:44:48,080
Speaker 1: what was the one thing that people said he couldn't do?

932
00:44:48,200 --> 00:44:52,520
Speaker 1: He cover? His coverage has gotten so much better. You

933
00:44:52,560 --> 00:44:54,879
Speaker 1: don't want him matched up on James White all the time.

934
00:44:54,920 --> 00:44:56,640
Speaker 1: You don't want to match up. But he had a

935
00:44:56,640 --> 00:44:58,600
Speaker 1: great play gains Philadelphia, had great day the other day

936
00:44:58,600 --> 00:45:01,000
Speaker 1: in training camp practice knock to pass away. His coverage

937
00:45:01,000 --> 00:45:02,359
Speaker 1: has gotten so much better. To be fair, it's hard

938
00:45:02,400 --> 00:45:04,600
Speaker 1: for anybody to match up with James White. But Ardrick

939
00:45:04,680 --> 00:45:07,080
Speaker 1: McKinney the first guy. Well, what about Zach Cunningham who

940
00:45:07,120 --> 00:45:09,760
Speaker 1: wears number forty one and I still do double takes.

941
00:45:09,960 --> 00:45:12,920
Speaker 1: Forty one should be a safety or Something's Zach Cuttingham

942
00:45:12,960 --> 00:45:16,080
Speaker 1: inside linebacker and he's good. I love him. I love

943
00:45:16,200 --> 00:45:17,960
Speaker 1: everything that he can do on a field. And if

944
00:45:17,960 --> 00:45:20,200
Speaker 1: you think about two the biggest defensive plays last year

945
00:45:20,280 --> 00:45:22,800
Speaker 1: against two of our biggest rivals on two the biggest nights,

946
00:45:23,480 --> 00:45:26,600
Speaker 1: third and one stopping overtime on Zeke Elliott, Zach Cuttingham,

947
00:45:26,719 --> 00:45:29,319
Speaker 1: fourth and one stopped down on the goal line against Tennessee.

948
00:45:29,560 --> 00:45:33,439
Speaker 1: Zach Cuttingham completely stones Luke Stocker. Those were Zach Cuttingham plays.

949
00:45:33,440 --> 00:45:34,680
Speaker 1: A lot of people didn't think he can make. Oh

950
00:45:34,719 --> 00:45:36,320
Speaker 1: he'll be a running hit guy. He'll run, He'll do

951
00:45:36,360 --> 00:45:40,000
Speaker 1: a lot of things. He stuffed two guys two hundred

952
00:45:40,040 --> 00:45:43,359
Speaker 1: and twenty five pounds plus one on one in two

953
00:45:43,440 --> 00:45:45,279
Speaker 1: huge moments. He can do anything on the football field.

954
00:45:45,320 --> 00:45:47,359
Speaker 1: His MAD rating of seventy six is a complete joke.

955
00:45:47,480 --> 00:45:50,040
Speaker 1: Zach Cuttingham to me is a complete and total dude,

956
00:45:50,200 --> 00:45:52,799
Speaker 1: and he'd play sixteen games this year. He'll show that

957
00:45:52,800 --> 00:45:57,239
Speaker 1: to everybody. Also inside year three, already Missouri State product

958
00:45:57,440 --> 00:46:00,960
Speaker 1: Dylan Cole, undrafted, told me he could run a four

959
00:46:01,120 --> 00:46:04,600
Speaker 1: three eight that was unofficial, and that's the game of

960
00:46:04,680 --> 00:46:08,120
Speaker 1: his game. He can fly. So what he does is

961
00:46:08,120 --> 00:46:10,120
Speaker 1: having a guy like Dylan Cole allows you to do

962
00:46:10,200 --> 00:46:12,239
Speaker 1: some different things scheme wise. Maybe you want to have

963
00:46:12,280 --> 00:46:14,800
Speaker 1: all three linebackers on the field at once. Maybe you

964
00:46:14,840 --> 00:46:16,520
Speaker 1: want to change things up a little bit. Maybe you

965
00:46:16,560 --> 00:46:18,120
Speaker 1: want to play a team that you've played a bunch

966
00:46:18,120 --> 00:46:20,160
Speaker 1: of a division team, maybe the Patriots, and you want

967
00:46:20,160 --> 00:46:22,040
Speaker 1: to show him a different look. You can show a

968
00:46:22,080 --> 00:46:24,319
Speaker 1: four three bass look if you want, with those three

969
00:46:24,360 --> 00:46:27,200
Speaker 1: linebackers playing Dylan Cole at the will spot. He can fly.

970
00:46:27,520 --> 00:46:30,520
Speaker 1: He's smart. He told me his story after Week one

971
00:46:30,600 --> 00:46:32,759
Speaker 1: last year and Tom Brady and Mark I didn't think

972
00:46:32,760 --> 00:46:36,800
Speaker 1: anybody could really ever decipher Brady. Dylan Cole had multiple

973
00:46:36,880 --> 00:46:40,600
Speaker 1: plays where he looked at Brady, listen to Brady and

974
00:46:40,640 --> 00:46:43,200
Speaker 1: knew exactly where the ball was going. I knew exactly

975
00:46:43,280 --> 00:46:45,920
Speaker 1: what was happening. Dylan Cole is as smart as he

976
00:46:46,040 --> 00:46:48,200
Speaker 1: is fast. I love that guy. Love those three inside

977
00:46:48,200 --> 00:46:51,360
Speaker 1: linebackers all right, Peter Callum Bay can go inside outside,

978
00:46:51,640 --> 00:46:54,479
Speaker 1: He's versatile. So what about him entering a year two, Well,

979
00:46:54,520 --> 00:46:57,480
Speaker 1: he's thick and he's you said he's versatile. Yesterday made

980
00:46:57,520 --> 00:47:00,640
Speaker 1: a great play from an inside linebacker position, but he

981
00:47:00,680 --> 00:47:02,680
Speaker 1: kind of moves outside on goal line. He made great

982
00:47:02,680 --> 00:47:05,759
Speaker 1: player to Mario Crockett. He's got versatility and you know

983
00:47:06,200 --> 00:47:08,520
Speaker 1: we've gotten to that point now. And also with Dylan too.

984
00:47:08,840 --> 00:47:13,080
Speaker 1: Special teams are huge, and Peter's a great, great piece

985
00:47:13,200 --> 00:47:16,719
Speaker 1: on special teams. He's coachable, he's smart, he's intelligent, he

986
00:47:16,840 --> 00:47:19,200
Speaker 1: knows his role. He wants to impact the team as

987
00:47:19,280 --> 00:47:22,520
Speaker 1: much as he possibly can. But Peter Calumbai, he's a dude.

988
00:47:22,719 --> 00:47:24,480
Speaker 1: I love having him on his team. He knows his role.

989
00:47:24,520 --> 00:47:26,720
Speaker 1: He's gonna be a key factor. Johnny, who else inside

990
00:47:26,760 --> 00:47:29,680
Speaker 1: is catching your eye? Because Tyrell Adams we talked to

991
00:47:29,760 --> 00:47:31,759
Speaker 1: him in the off season. Really interesting guy. They just

992
00:47:31,800 --> 00:47:35,240
Speaker 1: got b J. Bellow and I like what I'm seeing

993
00:47:35,360 --> 00:47:38,720
Speaker 1: when you look at number fifty six Xavier Woodson luster

994
00:47:38,840 --> 00:47:41,160
Speaker 1: he's caught the eye of a lot of the media folk. Yeah,

995
00:47:41,280 --> 00:47:45,120
Speaker 1: he's he's a guy that you know, Xavier can run.

996
00:47:45,360 --> 00:47:48,319
Speaker 1: He's six one, two twenty. You're not big, but he can.

997
00:47:48,640 --> 00:47:50,879
Speaker 1: He can fly, and I think that's a big part

998
00:47:50,880 --> 00:47:53,000
Speaker 1: of his game. Terrell Adams is a guy from West

999
00:47:53,000 --> 00:47:55,160
Speaker 1: Georgia's special teams. Lastly, one of the the bigger players was

1000
00:47:55,200 --> 00:47:58,080
Speaker 1: against the Buffalo Bills when he blocked a punt got

1001
00:47:58,080 --> 00:48:01,040
Speaker 1: recovered by Brendan Scarlett. So from now perspective, those guys

1002
00:48:01,040 --> 00:48:03,520
Speaker 1: at things on special teams. I'm curious to see what

1003
00:48:03,640 --> 00:48:07,320
Speaker 1: woodsond Luster brings in coverage, in particular against the Packers,

1004
00:48:07,400 --> 00:48:09,080
Speaker 1: because that's gotta be his calling card. A two hundred

1005
00:48:09,080 --> 00:48:10,960
Speaker 1: twenty pounds, he's not gonna be a guy that just

1006
00:48:11,000 --> 00:48:13,279
Speaker 1: stuffs gaps and stops to run, but he's gonna be

1007
00:48:13,320 --> 00:48:14,880
Speaker 1: a guy that flies to the football and can do

1008
00:48:14,920 --> 00:48:17,439
Speaker 1: things in coverage. All right, let's go outside, now, let's

1009
00:48:17,440 --> 00:48:21,160
Speaker 1: do it all right, Whitney Merciless. It's a big year

1010
00:48:21,160 --> 00:48:25,160
Speaker 1: for wit But if the offseason's any indication, he was great.

1011
00:48:25,239 --> 00:48:27,760
Speaker 1: No tas in mini camps. I just see him working

1012
00:48:27,800 --> 00:48:30,840
Speaker 1: against the tackles and there's so many different things that

1013
00:48:30,880 --> 00:48:34,600
Speaker 1: I know that he wants to unveil, but he'll probably wait.

1014
00:48:34,600 --> 00:48:35,920
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be a good week for him

1015
00:48:35,920 --> 00:48:38,880
Speaker 1: in Green Bay, going against David Vaktieri and Brian blog

1016
00:48:38,960 --> 00:48:40,960
Speaker 1: up in Green Bay. So I'm excited for Wit. I'm

1017
00:48:40,960 --> 00:48:43,799
Speaker 1: excited for this year. He's not contract year. Everybody knows that,

1018
00:48:43,960 --> 00:48:46,520
Speaker 1: and someone will say, well, you know, Cream's not contract year,

1019
00:48:46,520 --> 00:48:48,879
Speaker 1: and hey, bo Whitney doesn't. He's not driven that way.

1020
00:48:49,120 --> 00:48:51,200
Speaker 1: He's driven to succeed no matter what. But this is

1021
00:48:51,280 --> 00:48:52,960
Speaker 1: gonna be a big year for him in this defense,

1022
00:48:53,040 --> 00:48:54,759
Speaker 1: and I think he's gonna have an opportunity ball out

1023
00:48:54,760 --> 00:48:57,440
Speaker 1: as long as he's health. Brennan Scarlett already in his

1024
00:48:57,680 --> 00:49:01,799
Speaker 1: fourth year out of Stanford, another undrafted guy. Remember when

1025
00:49:01,840 --> 00:49:03,919
Speaker 1: we did those fifteen guys that were at training camp

1026
00:49:04,160 --> 00:49:06,360
Speaker 1: from the eighty three that are here from twenty sixteen.

1027
00:49:06,400 --> 00:49:09,239
Speaker 1: He's wonderful. He's one of those guys. So he's found

1028
00:49:09,239 --> 00:49:11,600
Speaker 1: a way to stick around. He didn't last year to

1029
00:49:11,680 --> 00:49:14,560
Speaker 1: start on special teams. He'd sprint on special teams. You

1030
00:49:14,560 --> 00:49:17,000
Speaker 1: could tell that there was I don't know, Joy's not

1031
00:49:17,080 --> 00:49:18,960
Speaker 1: the right word, but he wanted to be especially wanted

1032
00:49:18,960 --> 00:49:21,480
Speaker 1: to impact this team, and that led to reps on

1033
00:49:21,600 --> 00:49:24,360
Speaker 1: defense and inside linebacker, that led to reps and outside linebacker,

1034
00:49:24,440 --> 00:49:28,360
Speaker 1: that led to the pick against Washington. He's indispensable in

1035
00:49:28,480 --> 00:49:30,680
Speaker 1: that way because he's a Swiss army knife. Hey, what

1036
00:49:30,719 --> 00:49:32,480
Speaker 1: do you need? He's somebody to rush. He played three

1037
00:49:32,520 --> 00:49:35,839
Speaker 1: technique at Stanford three technique and rushed from in there,

1038
00:49:35,920 --> 00:49:37,440
Speaker 1: so he can do a lot of different things for

1039
00:49:37,520 --> 00:49:40,440
Speaker 1: this team. I think his pass rush acumen is not

1040
00:49:41,000 --> 00:49:43,360
Speaker 1: where you'd like it to be, but I think he

1041
00:49:43,480 --> 00:49:45,160
Speaker 1: can get there, and he continues to work on it.

1042
00:49:45,239 --> 00:49:47,680
Speaker 1: He's got some skills, and so I think I think

1043
00:49:47,719 --> 00:49:50,320
Speaker 1: Brent scarlettson he got you gotta have in this linebacking

1044
00:49:50,360 --> 00:49:52,840
Speaker 1: corps half to we broke down the D line yesterday

1045
00:49:52,880 --> 00:49:54,799
Speaker 1: and Jadeveon clowning. We put him in there, and we're

1046
00:49:54,840 --> 00:49:56,840
Speaker 1: also going to put him in here. And linebacker is

1047
00:49:56,840 --> 00:49:59,360
Speaker 1: because he plays in the front seven wherever he wants

1048
00:49:59,440 --> 00:50:03,560
Speaker 1: really inside outside, three technique, stand up, a gap, mugger,

1049
00:50:03,680 --> 00:50:06,680
Speaker 1: whatever you want to call it. He's I mean, look,

1050
00:50:06,719 --> 00:50:09,080
Speaker 1: we've all seen what ja he does. Just can't wait

1051
00:50:09,120 --> 00:50:10,680
Speaker 1: to get him back. I mean, sometimes if I don't

1052
00:50:10,680 --> 00:50:11,759
Speaker 1: want to talk about him, but I know we got

1053
00:50:11,800 --> 00:50:13,840
Speaker 1: few other guys to talk about, and I can I

1054
00:50:13,840 --> 00:50:15,839
Speaker 1: can place through saying that the players got it wrong.

1055
00:50:16,000 --> 00:50:21,239
Speaker 1: Number sixty three. Jad's an animal and he's he's wherever

1056
00:50:21,239 --> 00:50:23,840
Speaker 1: you want to playing. All Right. Some of the guys

1057
00:50:24,000 --> 00:50:26,759
Speaker 1: fans might not know much about we've been talking about them,

1058
00:50:26,880 --> 00:50:29,959
Speaker 1: but they're gonna play a lot in these preseason games.

1059
00:50:30,000 --> 00:50:32,120
Speaker 1: So you get to look at some of these players

1060
00:50:32,280 --> 00:50:36,160
Speaker 1: like Davin Bellamy, who was around last year out of Georgia.

1061
00:50:36,280 --> 00:50:39,480
Speaker 1: Good pass rusher there six five, two sixty. Yeah, he's

1062
00:50:39,800 --> 00:50:42,120
Speaker 1: worked on his pass rush game. It's clearly you can

1063
00:50:42,239 --> 00:50:44,920
Speaker 1: see it. He's been working with Chuck Smith pass rush specialist,

1064
00:50:45,440 --> 00:50:47,440
Speaker 1: and he was working with Chuck a little bit, and

1065
00:50:47,520 --> 00:50:50,080
Speaker 1: Chuck has worked with Jonnick and Gockway. And it's funny

1066
00:50:50,080 --> 00:50:51,719
Speaker 1: because I saw Davin using moved the other day and

1067
00:50:51,760 --> 00:50:53,920
Speaker 1: I was like, you know what you call that? Where'd

1068
00:50:53,960 --> 00:50:55,560
Speaker 1: you get that? He goes, Yeah, I've been working with Chuck.

1069
00:50:55,719 --> 00:50:57,200
Speaker 1: He's been working for a few years, and so that

1070
00:50:57,280 --> 00:51:00,160
Speaker 1: part of his game is pretty good. But it's all

1071
00:51:00,239 --> 00:51:01,480
Speaker 1: round stuff. He's got to be able to set the

1072
00:51:01,560 --> 00:51:02,680
Speaker 1: edge a little bit better. He's got to be a

1073
00:51:02,719 --> 00:51:05,399
Speaker 1: little more discipline the edge. You're not jumping snaps things

1074
00:51:05,440 --> 00:51:07,440
Speaker 1: like that. Davin Belli, he's got Davin Bellim. He's got

1075
00:51:07,480 --> 00:51:09,200
Speaker 1: a lot of talent. It's got to show up playing

1076
00:51:09,239 --> 00:51:12,800
Speaker 1: and play out. Jamal Davis has been making plays. Rookie

1077
00:51:12,920 --> 00:51:15,920
Speaker 1: from akron Z Zip. He transferred from Pitt right six

1078
00:51:16,040 --> 00:51:21,600
Speaker 1: four two forty Oh, don't talk about him, to keep

1079
00:51:21,800 --> 00:51:26,560
Speaker 1: the secret question? Okay, next question. That means that he's good.

1080
00:51:26,960 --> 00:51:28,839
Speaker 1: We don't want anybody to know about it. Who might

1081
00:51:28,880 --> 00:51:32,040
Speaker 1: want to try to pick him up? Chris Landrum, fourth

1082
00:51:32,120 --> 00:51:34,920
Speaker 1: year out of Jacksonville State. Have you noticed him? Where's

1083
00:51:34,960 --> 00:51:37,120
Speaker 1: number forty two out here? The fans are here, they'll

1084
00:51:37,120 --> 00:51:39,560
Speaker 1: get a look at him. Yeah, he's He was a

1085
00:51:39,640 --> 00:51:42,279
Speaker 1: guy that got first team reps at times and otiers

1086
00:51:42,320 --> 00:51:46,000
Speaker 1: because you didn't have jd um And I think Scarlett

1087
00:51:46,040 --> 00:51:47,959
Speaker 1: was banged up a little bit, still rehabit from something

1088
00:51:48,000 --> 00:51:51,040
Speaker 1: I believe, and so Lanard got some first team reps

1089
00:51:51,160 --> 00:51:53,720
Speaker 1: at times, and he's got some He's got some quickness

1090
00:51:53,800 --> 00:51:56,640
Speaker 1: off the edge. Not the biggest guy as an outside linebacker,

1091
00:51:56,719 --> 00:51:59,840
Speaker 1: not not real big, and so setting the edges is

1092
00:51:59,840 --> 00:52:01,920
Speaker 1: a key thing that he's got to be able to

1093
00:52:02,040 --> 00:52:04,080
Speaker 1: do a little bit better, button, can you get back

1094
00:52:04,080 --> 00:52:06,479
Speaker 1: to the quarterback? And look, I've talked to many people

1095
00:52:06,480 --> 00:52:08,000
Speaker 1: around this league, and the one thing you always tell

1096
00:52:08,000 --> 00:52:09,360
Speaker 1: you you can't have it a pass rusher. So if

1097
00:52:09,360 --> 00:52:11,080
Speaker 1: you can get their quarterback, he proves out of Green Bay,

1098
00:52:11,239 --> 00:52:12,520
Speaker 1: he's gonna be a guy who's gonna be a lot

1099
00:52:12,520 --> 00:52:15,399
Speaker 1: of people's right our screens, in particular the Texans personnel staff.

1100
00:52:15,640 --> 00:52:19,560
Speaker 1: Who did I forget in this group? I'm looking, I'm looking.

1101
00:52:20,000 --> 00:52:21,400
Speaker 1: I think we got them all? We got them all?

1102
00:52:21,560 --> 00:52:23,920
Speaker 1: All right? Those are the linebackers. Did we did? I

1103
00:52:24,000 --> 00:52:26,880
Speaker 1: did that record? Time? You did? No good? I did that? Record?

1104
00:52:26,920 --> 00:52:29,960
Speaker 1: Takes good? But you know it's it's really rapid fire.

1105
00:52:30,120 --> 00:52:33,080
Speaker 1: We're breaking down these linebackers. People want to hear about him.

1106
00:52:33,160 --> 00:52:36,040
Speaker 1: I love it. Okay, Now, Jeff Van Gutty is in

1119
00:53:18,360 --> 00:53:22,759
Speaker 1: that he's here. It's Jeff van Gundy, Houstonian. Jeff van Gundi,

1120
00:53:22,800 --> 00:53:27,640
Speaker 1: how's it going, Jeff, Yeah, sixteen years here, it's amazing

1121
00:53:27,680 --> 00:53:31,480
Speaker 1: how fast it goes. And just so happy to be

1122
00:53:31,680 --> 00:53:34,120
Speaker 1: here with you guys, and being able to see the

1123
00:53:34,160 --> 00:53:36,560
Speaker 1: Texans up close as pretty special. Well, you get into

1124
00:53:36,640 --> 00:53:39,040
Speaker 1: coaching world sixteen years in any place, and I know

1125
00:53:39,080 --> 00:53:40,799
Speaker 1: you're not coaching right now, but you get a coaching world.

1126
00:53:40,840 --> 00:53:43,239
Speaker 1: You don't stay any place for three, four or five

1127
00:53:43,360 --> 00:53:46,319
Speaker 1: years in certain cases. So it's this home. Oh, it's

1128
00:53:46,360 --> 00:53:50,640
Speaker 1: absolutely And I think what influences that is obviously family.

1129
00:53:51,040 --> 00:53:53,680
Speaker 1: But when you find a place that you feel really

1130
00:53:53,760 --> 00:53:57,000
Speaker 1: comfortable with and your and your children and your wife

1131
00:53:57,080 --> 00:54:00,920
Speaker 1: like you stay. And so I've been so blessed to

1132
00:54:01,040 --> 00:54:04,399
Speaker 1: have found my way to Texas, and like you guys said,

1133
00:54:04,480 --> 00:54:06,759
Speaker 1: it feels like it is home. Do you feel like

1134
00:54:06,880 --> 00:54:09,920
Speaker 1: if you coached again what you've learned as an announcer

1135
00:54:10,040 --> 00:54:12,680
Speaker 1: meeting with all these coaches and traveling everywhere and getting

1136
00:54:12,680 --> 00:54:15,640
Speaker 1: sort of an inside scoop on these organizations, would that

1137
00:54:15,840 --> 00:54:19,120
Speaker 1: help you now? Well, I think anytime you're exposed to

1138
00:54:20,360 --> 00:54:24,160
Speaker 1: watching different people how they do it, you definitely learn.

1139
00:54:24,800 --> 00:54:27,160
Speaker 1: But I don't think you learned to do something better

1140
00:54:27,920 --> 00:54:30,279
Speaker 1: by not doing it. So I think if if you

1141
00:54:30,360 --> 00:54:33,000
Speaker 1: want to be a great coach, you coach, and you coach,

1142
00:54:33,040 --> 00:54:35,640
Speaker 1: and you coach, and which I did up until you

1143
00:54:35,719 --> 00:54:38,000
Speaker 1: know I left the Rockets and now going back and

1144
00:54:38,120 --> 00:54:43,160
Speaker 1: coaching for USA Basketball, that is really where you learn.

1145
00:54:43,239 --> 00:54:46,879
Speaker 1: It's like in broadcasting, you didn't learn how to broadcast

1146
00:54:47,440 --> 00:54:50,160
Speaker 1: by getting reps in some other profession. You learned to

1147
00:54:50,239 --> 00:54:53,480
Speaker 1: broadcast by doing that. And I think the same way

1148
00:54:53,520 --> 00:54:56,960
Speaker 1: with me, like coaching, you get better doing it, broadcasting,

1149
00:54:57,040 --> 00:54:58,600
Speaker 1: you get better doing it, or you try to get

1150
00:54:58,640 --> 00:55:01,239
Speaker 1: better doing it. And so I've just been fortunate to

1151
00:55:01,440 --> 00:55:05,759
Speaker 1: have great mentors, both in coaching and broadcasting that have

1152
00:55:05,920 --> 00:55:09,120
Speaker 1: taken great care to try to help my career, and

1153
00:55:09,239 --> 00:55:12,000
Speaker 1: I think sometimes when you do what we all do.

1154
00:55:12,520 --> 00:55:15,319
Speaker 1: Thinking that you get there by yourself is foolish. Jeff,

1155
00:55:15,320 --> 00:55:18,360
Speaker 1: I've been asked this question a lot because people know

1156
00:55:18,480 --> 00:55:20,160
Speaker 1: that I've coached way way back in the day, and

1157
00:55:20,239 --> 00:55:23,200
Speaker 1: I tell them, the coaching bug never really leaves you.

1158
00:55:23,320 --> 00:55:26,520
Speaker 1: It's just how much you actually suppress it. Is that

1159
00:55:26,640 --> 00:55:29,640
Speaker 1: coaching bug for you still somewhere within you. And that's

1160
00:55:29,680 --> 00:55:32,319
Speaker 1: why I've coached with the USA Basketball John. I think,

1161
00:55:34,239 --> 00:55:37,239
Speaker 1: like you said, you can't replace the competition and camaraderie

1162
00:55:37,320 --> 00:55:39,759
Speaker 1: that come from being a part of a team. And

1163
00:55:39,880 --> 00:55:43,799
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter what role you play with that team,

1164
00:55:44,160 --> 00:55:48,320
Speaker 1: but certainly when you're a head coach and every decision

1165
00:55:48,560 --> 00:55:52,560
Speaker 1: is magnified, there's nothing like it. And so you're right,

1166
00:55:52,800 --> 00:55:55,759
Speaker 1: it never goes away. You're always gonna miss what you

1167
00:55:55,880 --> 00:56:01,759
Speaker 1: don't have. And yet the life is is great. In broadcasting,

1168
00:56:02,360 --> 00:56:07,680
Speaker 1: I sometimes really miss having the result shape my mood,

1169
00:56:07,760 --> 00:56:11,800
Speaker 1: either good or bad. Really, yeah, I do, you know

1170
00:56:12,120 --> 00:56:13,600
Speaker 1: That's what I get out of being a fan, though

1171
00:56:13,640 --> 00:56:16,680
Speaker 1: at some point, like I you know, I always talked,

1172
00:56:16,840 --> 00:56:19,920
Speaker 1: I got my group there in UH section one ten,

1173
00:56:20,000 --> 00:56:23,000
Speaker 1: row sixteen, right, So we're there and living and dying

1174
00:56:23,080 --> 00:56:25,279
Speaker 1: on every play and by the way, not knowing one

1175
00:56:25,400 --> 00:56:29,040
Speaker 1: thing that's going on, like why like just yelling and screaming.

1176
00:56:29,120 --> 00:56:34,279
Speaker 1: Everything's a penalty. But um I I love that part

1177
00:56:34,560 --> 00:56:37,439
Speaker 1: where you're deeply invested, and that's what I love about

1178
00:56:37,480 --> 00:56:39,920
Speaker 1: being a season ticket holder. It doesn't replace, obviously, coaching,

1179
00:56:40,040 --> 00:56:43,200
Speaker 1: but it does give you a different feel, you know,

1180
00:56:43,320 --> 00:56:45,759
Speaker 1: walking into and walking out of a game. Jeff An

1181
00:56:45,880 --> 00:56:49,120
Speaker 1: Gundy with us, what about this team, what about Watson?

1182
00:56:49,320 --> 00:56:51,400
Speaker 1: The way things went last year, and your thoughts on

1183
00:56:51,600 --> 00:56:54,640
Speaker 1: what might happen this season? You know, I know nothing,

1184
00:56:54,960 --> 00:56:59,919
Speaker 1: but I care deeply, and so I was. I said

1185
00:57:00,120 --> 00:57:02,279
Speaker 1: in the spring on a playoff game, if we got

1186
00:57:02,320 --> 00:57:05,920
Speaker 1: I told Mark Jackson on the air, two offensive linemen,

1187
00:57:05,960 --> 00:57:09,600
Speaker 1: two defensive defensive backs, we're gonna win the super Bowl.

1188
00:57:09,719 --> 00:57:12,200
Speaker 1: And he was like, you're crazy. I'm not, like, we

1189
00:57:12,320 --> 00:57:14,480
Speaker 1: have a special quarterback. I think we can have a

1190
00:57:14,520 --> 00:57:17,600
Speaker 1: special defense. I think Lamar Miller is gonna have a

1191
00:57:17,680 --> 00:57:21,040
Speaker 1: great year. Health is everything, obviously, but I think we

1192
00:57:21,160 --> 00:57:24,600
Speaker 1: have a special team. I know Indianapolis is the trendy picky.

1193
00:57:25,000 --> 00:57:27,720
Speaker 1: I think we're winning it again. Coach, You're not on Twitter,

1194
00:57:27,840 --> 00:57:29,720
Speaker 1: as you told us as you walked up here, that

1195
00:57:29,880 --> 00:57:33,240
Speaker 1: made Twitter. That made Twitter. Yeah that made Twitter and

1196
00:57:33,320 --> 00:57:37,360
Speaker 1: Twitter We're gonna do anything. Yeah made it made Twitter.

1197
00:57:37,440 --> 00:57:39,360
Speaker 1: There were some people that were like, did you even

1198
00:57:39,520 --> 00:57:42,680
Speaker 1: drink gundy set on it? We were like, yeah, agree

1199
00:57:42,720 --> 00:57:45,320
Speaker 1: with you. Like, I don't know how you get a

1200
00:57:45,440 --> 00:57:49,080
Speaker 1: quarterback hit less you write other than having a good line,

1201
00:57:49,080 --> 00:57:51,920
Speaker 1: I'm not or like whatever you do. I love Bill O'Brien,

1202
00:57:52,000 --> 00:57:55,240
Speaker 1: so I love everything about what he stands for, but

1203
00:57:55,360 --> 00:57:58,040
Speaker 1: I just want that guy to like, not get hit

1204
00:57:58,080 --> 00:58:00,440
Speaker 1: as much, be upright, not get hit as much? Is

1205
00:58:00,440 --> 00:58:02,160
Speaker 1: that on him? I don't know football. Should he get

1206
00:58:02,240 --> 00:58:04,240
Speaker 1: rid of it quick or something? Or well a little bit.

1207
00:58:04,400 --> 00:58:06,040
Speaker 1: It's just like with everything else. You know, when you

1208
00:58:06,120 --> 00:58:08,480
Speaker 1: see when you see a star in basketball not have

1209
00:58:08,560 --> 00:58:11,000
Speaker 1: a great game. Sometimes it's not always about him. Sometimes

1210
00:58:11,040 --> 00:58:13,160
Speaker 1: the defense is doing some different things to him. Sometimes

1211
00:58:13,240 --> 00:58:15,600
Speaker 1: he's had an off night. Sometimes teammates aren't getting him involved.

1212
00:58:15,640 --> 00:58:18,160
Speaker 1: It's kind of a combination all things. But it's a

1213
00:58:18,240 --> 00:58:21,440
Speaker 1: great question ask because I think automatically you go offensive

1214
00:58:21,440 --> 00:58:24,640
Speaker 1: line coach. I went back and watch every sack you know,

1215
00:58:24,720 --> 00:58:27,000
Speaker 1: about two weeks ago, watch every single one. I put

1216
00:58:27,000 --> 00:58:29,040
Speaker 1: about fifty to fifty five percent the offensive line. The

1217
00:58:29,080 --> 00:58:30,600
Speaker 1: rest of him. There's a lot of different things that

1218
00:58:30,680 --> 00:58:32,720
Speaker 1: go into it. But you're right, the Oven's line had

1219
00:58:32,720 --> 00:58:35,160
Speaker 1: to get better. But see, that's interesting because for me,

1220
00:58:35,800 --> 00:58:37,760
Speaker 1: when you're sitting up in my seats, I don't have

1221
00:58:37,880 --> 00:58:39,720
Speaker 1: a clue, just like the other people around me have

1222
00:58:39,800 --> 00:58:43,520
Speaker 1: no clue. We just want a good result. But it's

1223
00:58:43,520 --> 00:58:47,160
Speaker 1: such an intricate game with eleven people that you really

1224
00:58:47,280 --> 00:58:52,400
Speaker 1: don't know when watching whose responsibility it is. It's funny.

1225
00:58:52,560 --> 00:58:54,600
Speaker 1: I love watching you on television. I think you do

1226
00:58:54,680 --> 00:58:57,720
Speaker 1: a tremendous job. And I'm not pandering here. I really

1227
00:58:57,800 --> 00:59:00,200
Speaker 1: do believe. I appreciate that. I've always felt that. And

1228
00:59:00,480 --> 00:59:03,120
Speaker 1: it's interesting to me after you play or coach what

1229
00:59:03,280 --> 00:59:05,960
Speaker 1: your passion might be and you have that for broadcasting,

1230
00:59:06,280 --> 00:59:08,240
Speaker 1: and I want to transition that into a man who

1231
00:59:08,520 --> 00:59:11,720
Speaker 1: played in the NFL and his passion is pro vision.

1232
00:59:11,800 --> 00:59:15,600
Speaker 1: Roy nol Young and being with that school and being

1233
00:59:15,680 --> 00:59:17,680
Speaker 1: at the helm of that school and all it means.

1234
00:59:17,760 --> 00:59:19,680
Speaker 1: And I know you're here, you're on the board, right,

1235
00:59:19,880 --> 00:59:21,680
Speaker 1: I'm on the board, been on about nine or ten

1236
00:59:21,760 --> 00:59:24,440
Speaker 1: years now, right, And it's a tremendous school and Sunnyside

1237
00:59:24,560 --> 00:59:28,160
Speaker 1: and actually the winner of the Texans Care Contest presented

1238
00:59:28,160 --> 00:59:30,960
Speaker 1: by Chevron, a grand prize of ten thousand dollars a

1239
00:59:31,080 --> 00:59:34,160
Speaker 1: donation going that way of provision. Very cool stuff. And

1240
00:59:34,200 --> 00:59:36,600
Speaker 1: I know the school does such great work right We're

1241
00:59:36,960 --> 00:59:40,840
Speaker 1: we serve the most underserved children in our community. Sunnyside

1242
00:59:40,880 --> 00:59:45,640
Speaker 1: obviously is in some it's a it's a difficult situation

1243
00:59:45,720 --> 00:59:48,040
Speaker 1: for some of those for most of those children there,

1244
00:59:48,360 --> 00:59:51,960
Speaker 1: And when you have a provision a charter school there,

1245
00:59:52,040 --> 00:59:54,040
Speaker 1: that's not just a school. We have an urban farm.

1246
00:59:54,440 --> 00:59:57,920
Speaker 1: We have mentorship programs, we have internship programs, and like

1247
00:59:58,040 --> 01:00:00,800
Speaker 1: you mentioned, Roy new Young has done this his whole

1248
01:00:01,360 --> 01:00:04,800
Speaker 1: adult life. After leaving the Philadelphia Eagles, he has spent

1249
01:00:05,160 --> 01:00:09,960
Speaker 1: the next thirty near thirty years achieving this for the

1250
01:00:10,120 --> 01:00:13,880
Speaker 1: children of Houston. It is a story that should be publicized,

1251
01:00:14,000 --> 01:00:17,480
Speaker 1: talked about because he has made such an impact and

1252
01:00:18,400 --> 01:00:24,320
Speaker 1: the Texans by running this Texans Care contest. Our children

1253
01:00:24,440 --> 01:00:27,080
Speaker 1: have such pride, Our students have had such pride and

1254
01:00:27,160 --> 01:00:30,680
Speaker 1: winning this, they'll be here today at practice. I can't

1255
01:00:30,720 --> 01:00:33,880
Speaker 1: believe when I moved here, the philanthropic nature of the

1256
01:00:33,960 --> 01:00:38,160
Speaker 1: Houston community at large, and then the Texans and Chevron

1257
01:00:38,200 --> 01:00:42,240
Speaker 1: who sponsored this contest, They're such giving people and ten

1258
01:00:42,320 --> 01:00:46,439
Speaker 1: thousand dollars for our community, our school. It goes so far,

1259
01:00:46,600 --> 01:00:50,600
Speaker 1: and Roynell makes sure we're great stewards of every dollar

1260
01:00:50,720 --> 01:00:53,320
Speaker 1: that comes into Provision. Coachin I've heard you just now

1261
01:00:53,440 --> 01:00:55,200
Speaker 1: and I've heard you talking about Provision. I've heard you

1262
01:00:55,280 --> 01:00:57,680
Speaker 1: talk about this school. I sensed the passion that you

1263
01:00:57,800 --> 01:01:00,240
Speaker 1: talk about, you know, a matchup zone. I mean, you

1264
01:01:00,280 --> 01:01:02,000
Speaker 1: have a passion for it, just as much as you

1265
01:01:02,080 --> 01:01:04,680
Speaker 1: have for basketball. Why is that? What is it that

1266
01:01:04,960 --> 01:01:07,040
Speaker 1: and what drives that passion for you to be involved?

1267
01:01:07,440 --> 01:01:11,920
Speaker 1: You know, my house is seven miles from Provision, and

1268
01:01:12,080 --> 01:01:17,400
Speaker 1: it could it's seven million miles from my experiences. The poverty,

1269
01:01:18,600 --> 01:01:21,360
Speaker 1: the children who have to deal with parents that are

1270
01:01:21,400 --> 01:01:24,800
Speaker 1: incarcerated and have to move on a consistent basis, just

1271
01:01:25,080 --> 01:01:28,200
Speaker 1: the chaos that they navigate on a daily basis and

1272
01:01:28,240 --> 01:01:31,720
Speaker 1: are able to become such productive with the help of

1273
01:01:31,760 --> 01:01:36,840
Speaker 1: the school, such productive members of our community. I'm so

1274
01:01:37,000 --> 01:01:40,200
Speaker 1: proud to be associated. And really my passion. I wish

1275
01:01:40,240 --> 01:01:42,240
Speaker 1: I could say when I was the head coach of

1276
01:01:42,280 --> 01:01:46,160
Speaker 1: the Rockets, I was involved in all these things. Unfortunately,

1277
01:01:46,200 --> 01:01:50,200
Speaker 1: it took me getting fired to find my passion. This

1278
01:01:50,320 --> 01:01:54,120
Speaker 1: is why I have such respect for organizations and players

1279
01:01:54,160 --> 01:01:56,840
Speaker 1: and coaches who, while they're in the midst of their career,

1280
01:01:57,120 --> 01:01:59,640
Speaker 1: they're doing so much. I should have done more back

1281
01:01:59,680 --> 01:02:01,960
Speaker 1: when I was the coach of the Rockets. I regret

1282
01:02:02,080 --> 01:02:06,240
Speaker 1: that deeply. But like the Texans, their players, their coaches,

1283
01:02:06,880 --> 01:02:09,840
Speaker 1: same with the Rockets Astros. They all do so much

1284
01:02:09,960 --> 01:02:12,880
Speaker 1: for so many that are in need. There's a lot

1285
01:02:12,960 --> 01:02:17,400
Speaker 1: of need in our community, and our professional teams are

1286
01:02:17,560 --> 01:02:19,800
Speaker 1: rising to that challenge. I'm blown away by the staff

1287
01:02:19,840 --> 01:02:22,120
Speaker 1: at Provision because Roy and l can't do it all

1288
01:02:22,160 --> 01:02:24,960
Speaker 1: by himself, and these guys are tremendous. And the kids,

1289
01:02:25,080 --> 01:02:28,520
Speaker 1: it's yes, sir, yes ma'am. They're so polite, they're all

1290
01:02:28,800 --> 01:02:32,040
Speaker 1: they're sharp. It's really great work being done. It is

1291
01:02:33,000 --> 01:02:36,120
Speaker 1: I always go when I take people out there. The

1292
01:02:36,280 --> 01:02:38,960
Speaker 1: thing I like the most is the urban farm. Here

1293
01:02:39,000 --> 01:02:42,680
Speaker 1: in this food desert of Sunnyside, we have this food

1294
01:02:42,760 --> 01:02:46,520
Speaker 1: desert and it's this farm, but it's based on aquaponics,

1295
01:02:46,600 --> 01:02:52,400
Speaker 1: which is the using of fish to their excreetment to fertilize.

1296
01:02:52,760 --> 01:02:54,720
Speaker 1: So we're not planning in the ground. We're planning in

1297
01:02:54,800 --> 01:02:58,120
Speaker 1: bed so we can have a better growing season. We

1298
01:02:58,160 --> 01:03:01,680
Speaker 1: can do it more rapidly, and so we provide some

1299
01:03:01,800 --> 01:03:05,560
Speaker 1: food for the community. We also are now selling it

1300
01:03:05,680 --> 01:03:10,680
Speaker 1: to places like HB. Bingie's and restaurants so that we

1301
01:03:10,880 --> 01:03:13,120
Speaker 1: make money and have a steady stream of some income.

1302
01:03:13,480 --> 01:03:16,160
Speaker 1: So it's it's an amazing thing that's going on there.

1303
01:03:16,520 --> 01:03:19,800
Speaker 1: And I always say, if I get somebody on campus

1304
01:03:19,880 --> 01:03:22,440
Speaker 1: out there, if I take somebody who's interested in, anybody

1305
01:03:22,480 --> 01:03:24,320
Speaker 1: who wants to go, I will give a two or two.

1306
01:03:24,840 --> 01:03:26,920
Speaker 1: When I get them on campus there they're in. And

1307
01:03:27,080 --> 01:03:29,040
Speaker 1: that's what happened to me. I went out there, I

1308
01:03:29,160 --> 01:03:31,880
Speaker 1: met Roy Nell, and immediately when I heard his vision,

1309
01:03:31,960 --> 01:03:34,160
Speaker 1: I saw the kids and the campus and what they

1310
01:03:34,200 --> 01:03:37,280
Speaker 1: were trying to do. I was all in, Yeah, it's

1311
01:03:37,640 --> 01:03:40,400
Speaker 1: hard not to be. That is a tremendous place. Je

1312
01:03:40,640 --> 01:03:43,200
Speaker 1: Vision winner of the Grand Prize of the Texans Care

1313
01:03:43,320 --> 01:03:46,120
Speaker 1: Contest presented by Chevron. There were other winners as well,

1314
01:03:46,160 --> 01:03:48,880
Speaker 1: but Provision the grand prize winner. Mark You mentioned that, ka,

1315
01:03:49,000 --> 01:03:50,280
Speaker 1: I think you said this. The kids are gonna be

1316
01:03:50,280 --> 01:03:52,480
Speaker 1: out here today. What does it mean for them to

1317
01:03:52,560 --> 01:03:55,280
Speaker 1: come out here and see the professional team and to

1318
01:03:55,320 --> 01:03:57,440
Speaker 1: see guys like Jja DeShawn Watson. What's that mean? For

1319
01:03:57,520 --> 01:04:00,560
Speaker 1: that group. Well, sometimes again we can become Jada like myself.

1320
01:04:00,880 --> 01:04:03,040
Speaker 1: I bring my kids out here. Oh yeah, I saw

1321
01:04:03,080 --> 01:04:06,520
Speaker 1: the Texans right because they have these opportunities right, Well,

1322
01:04:06,520 --> 01:04:10,320
Speaker 1: when you give opportunity to children and students and people

1323
01:04:10,360 --> 01:04:14,600
Speaker 1: that haven't experienced that same opportunity, their eyes get widened

1324
01:04:14,640 --> 01:04:16,880
Speaker 1: to what they can accomplish. It may not be obviously

1325
01:04:16,960 --> 01:04:19,840
Speaker 1: being a professional player, but they're meeting, they're seeing Like

1326
01:04:20,320 --> 01:04:23,200
Speaker 1: I ran into good friend Greg Grissom, who you know here?

1327
01:04:23,760 --> 01:04:26,480
Speaker 1: Why not one of the provision students being the next

1328
01:04:26,600 --> 01:04:29,040
Speaker 1: Jamie Roots or Greg Grissom in the business side, or

1329
01:04:29,480 --> 01:04:32,600
Speaker 1: being on the personnel side or in the media relations side.

1330
01:04:32,680 --> 01:04:37,120
Speaker 1: I just think when you open up their opportunities, they

1331
01:04:37,320 --> 01:04:39,840
Speaker 1: see what's out there and what they can accomplish. And

1332
01:04:39,880 --> 01:04:42,200
Speaker 1: I just think that's so important. And that's why we're

1333
01:04:42,240 --> 01:04:45,560
Speaker 1: so proud of our association with the Texans, right because

1334
01:04:46,160 --> 01:04:50,160
Speaker 1: they're givers. Like this is an organization obviously that's based

1335
01:04:50,240 --> 01:04:53,720
Speaker 1: on results on the field, but off the field, they're

1336
01:04:53,760 --> 01:04:57,040
Speaker 1: just a giving type of organization. And we're so proud

1337
01:04:57,120 --> 01:04:59,200
Speaker 1: to have been you know the name the winner of

1338
01:04:59,240 --> 01:05:01,240
Speaker 1: the Texans Character Challenge. Well, I think there's more on

1339
01:05:01,360 --> 01:05:04,080
Speaker 1: the way, So stay tuned. We'll let you know here

1340
01:05:04,200 --> 01:05:06,800
Speaker 1: through our Texans media channels. Jeff Van Gundy with us,

1341
01:05:06,800 --> 01:05:08,600
Speaker 1: we cannot let you go without a couple of basketball

1342
01:05:08,960 --> 01:05:11,959
Speaker 1: and so Russell Westbrook joins the Rockets. This is really

1343
01:05:12,040 --> 01:05:15,320
Speaker 1: fun stuff. Well, I'm I was a big Chris Paul

1344
01:05:15,360 --> 01:05:18,000
Speaker 1: fan and remain I think we could be making a

1345
01:05:18,080 --> 01:05:22,280
Speaker 1: mistake saying I know everybody says it's a huge upgrade.

1346
01:05:23,560 --> 01:05:28,640
Speaker 1: You're overlooking Chris Paul his greatness. And they were prior

1347
01:05:28,720 --> 01:05:32,120
Speaker 1: to Paul's injury, they were twenty four minutes away, not

1348
01:05:32,200 --> 01:05:35,000
Speaker 1: from going to the finals, but from winning the championship. Right,

1349
01:05:35,440 --> 01:05:39,240
Speaker 1: and that was just two years ago. Last year Rocky start.

1350
01:05:39,440 --> 01:05:41,480
Speaker 1: Then they came back and still the only team they

1351
01:05:41,520 --> 01:05:45,040
Speaker 1: couldn't beat was the loaded up Warriors, Right, so now

1352
01:05:45,480 --> 01:05:48,080
Speaker 1: everything opens up. I think they would have had a

1353
01:05:48,120 --> 01:05:50,560
Speaker 1: great team if they had kept Paul. But they make

1354
01:05:50,680 --> 01:05:53,200
Speaker 1: the big move. And I think it's funny because a

1355
01:05:53,240 --> 01:05:55,400
Speaker 1: lot of people predict it's either going to work with

1356
01:05:55,520 --> 01:05:58,720
Speaker 1: Westbrook and Harden or it's not going to work. And

1357
01:05:59,280 --> 01:06:01,880
Speaker 1: I'm in I just like to watch. I can't wait

1358
01:06:01,960 --> 01:06:04,760
Speaker 1: to see how it unfolds. I do think and I

1359
01:06:04,800 --> 01:06:07,160
Speaker 1: don't know if this is in every sport, but in basketball,

1360
01:06:07,200 --> 01:06:09,840
Speaker 1: particularly star players, you've got to get them at the

1361
01:06:09,960 --> 01:06:14,200
Speaker 1: right time in their careers where they're willing to sacrifice

1362
01:06:14,400 --> 01:06:16,880
Speaker 1: not only with each other, but for the betterment of

1363
01:06:16,960 --> 01:06:19,919
Speaker 1: the team. A lot of people in pro basketball talk

1364
01:06:19,960 --> 01:06:23,200
Speaker 1: about all I care about is winning, but what they

1365
01:06:23,320 --> 01:06:25,760
Speaker 1: leave off is the dot dot dot. If I get

1366
01:06:25,880 --> 01:06:29,360
Speaker 1: my own way right in this case, star players, if

1367
01:06:29,400 --> 01:06:33,240
Speaker 1: you really want to win, you can't have agendas other

1368
01:06:33,400 --> 01:06:36,919
Speaker 1: than winning. And if you can get to that point,

1369
01:06:37,520 --> 01:06:41,640
Speaker 1: and hopefully Harden is at that point, Westbrook's at that point,

1370
01:06:42,360 --> 01:06:44,960
Speaker 1: I think they have enough around them that they can

1371
01:06:45,040 --> 01:06:47,680
Speaker 1: compete with anybody. Last year, Jeff, we talked about this,

1372
01:06:47,920 --> 01:06:49,920
Speaker 1: this Texas team. The chemistry in the locker room was

1373
01:06:49,960 --> 01:06:53,120
Speaker 1: outstanding in an NBA locker room. How valuable would you

1374
01:06:53,120 --> 01:06:55,320
Speaker 1: say chemistry is, because that's been a concern, you know,

1375
01:06:55,480 --> 01:06:57,800
Speaker 1: with Chris and with James or something like, oh, maybe

1376
01:06:57,800 --> 01:06:59,520
Speaker 1: the chemistry was off. You hear that word a lot.

1377
01:07:00,040 --> 01:07:01,480
Speaker 1: How much are a factor do you think that is

1378
01:07:01,600 --> 01:07:04,040
Speaker 1: with not only this team, but with all NBA teams. Well,

1379
01:07:04,080 --> 01:07:07,320
Speaker 1: don't you think it's so hard to define chemistry what

1380
01:07:07,480 --> 01:07:10,400
Speaker 1: it really is? But you do know what it is

1381
01:07:11,000 --> 01:07:14,200
Speaker 1: when you see it right, And it's not always getting along.

1382
01:07:14,680 --> 01:07:20,000
Speaker 1: It's how you play together. Now, I've had teams that necessarily,

1383
01:07:20,080 --> 01:07:22,000
Speaker 1: you know, people always say, oh, there are clicks, Well,

1384
01:07:22,280 --> 01:07:24,800
Speaker 1: they're adults. Certain guys are gonna like certain guys and

1385
01:07:24,920 --> 01:07:27,480
Speaker 1: just hang out. But it's all about what they do

1386
01:07:28,080 --> 01:07:29,920
Speaker 1: on the field or on the floor. And I think

1387
01:07:30,800 --> 01:07:35,520
Speaker 1: what I'm gonna be interested in is it's not how

1388
01:07:35,640 --> 01:07:40,320
Speaker 1: they play together Westbrook and Drant, it's how they the

1389
01:07:40,480 --> 01:07:43,680
Speaker 1: whole group plays together. And I think it's about on

1390
01:07:43,800 --> 01:07:46,080
Speaker 1: the floor. And it really comes down, dude, do you

1391
01:07:46,160 --> 01:07:50,400
Speaker 1: willingly share the ball? And will you try on every

1392
01:07:50,480 --> 01:07:53,800
Speaker 1: possession on defense? If you do those two things, you

1393
01:07:53,960 --> 01:07:56,960
Speaker 1: try like heck on defense and you pass the ball willingly,

1394
01:07:57,240 --> 01:07:59,360
Speaker 1: you'll have good chemistry. I knew he was gonna throw

1395
01:07:59,440 --> 01:08:02,040
Speaker 1: defense in there. I know it, Okay, Jeff, thanks so

1396

Speaker 1: much for joining us. Congratulations on winning the contest with Provision,

1418
01:09:13,800 --> 01:09:17,639
Speaker 1: right now is Landry Locker with his questions of the day. Landry,

1419
01:09:17,680 --> 01:09:19,320
Speaker 1: what do you got guys? You just had Jeff Van

1420
01:09:19,439 --> 01:09:22,080
Speaker 1: Gundy on and one of the most viral moments of

1421
01:09:22,320 --> 01:09:25,120
Speaker 1: Jeff Van Gunni's career is when his New York Knicks

1422
01:09:25,120 --> 01:09:27,400
Speaker 1: were facing the Miami Heat in the playoffs and he

1423
01:09:27,600 --> 01:09:30,200
Speaker 1: jumped on the leg of a Miami player when his

1424
01:09:30,280 --> 01:09:33,080
Speaker 1: team was in his scrum on this Texans coaching staff,

1425
01:09:33,080 --> 01:09:35,960
Speaker 1: and we're excluding Brian Cushing from the discussion on this

1426
01:09:36,120 --> 01:09:39,599
Speaker 1: Texan coaching staff. If there was a scrum, who would

1427
01:09:39,640 --> 01:09:42,240
Speaker 1: the coaches that would be most likely to be grabbing

1428
01:09:42,320 --> 01:09:45,559
Speaker 1: onto the other team's legs. Oh, you know Andre Johnson

1429
01:09:45,600 --> 01:09:47,840
Speaker 1: when he mixed it up with Courtland Finnigan. That came

1430
01:09:47,880 --> 01:09:53,040
Speaker 1: out of nowhere to onlookers because Andre so he's intense

1431
01:09:53,120 --> 01:09:55,320
Speaker 1: on the field, he makes plays, but he was so

1432
01:09:55,600 --> 01:09:57,920
Speaker 1: quiet and then all of a sudden he's wailing on

1433
01:09:58,080 --> 01:10:01,040
Speaker 1: Courtland Finnigan. And that's how would felt. It felt sort

1434
01:10:01,080 --> 01:10:03,800
Speaker 1: of all of a sudden, ish, I got one. John Perry,

1435
01:10:04,600 --> 01:10:07,000
Speaker 1: Oh really, John Perry, he's got an arm, by the way,

1436
01:10:07,800 --> 01:10:10,639
Speaker 1: something nobody's talking about. We have nobody's talking about John Perry.

1437
01:10:10,680 --> 01:10:13,080
Speaker 1: Sean Pennergass has brought this to my attention that dude's

1438
01:10:13,080 --> 01:10:15,240
Speaker 1: got a gun. Ji Perry was a heck of a

1439
01:10:15,280 --> 01:10:18,120
Speaker 1: college football player, man, heck of a player and his brother,

1440
01:10:18,360 --> 01:10:21,240
Speaker 1: his brother James. His younger brother, James was an All

1441
01:10:21,240 --> 01:10:23,920
Speaker 1: American quarterback at My University and is now the coach

1442
01:10:23,960 --> 01:10:26,479
Speaker 1: at My at Brown University, his alma mater. So but

1443
01:10:26,880 --> 01:10:29,160
Speaker 1: John and I talked about his son, John plays quarterback

1444
01:10:29,240 --> 01:10:32,320
Speaker 1: at at Clements starting quarterback at Clement's going into the

1445
01:10:32,360 --> 01:10:35,479
Speaker 1: senior year. So yeah, Perry family, and there are a

1446
01:10:35,479 --> 01:10:38,400
Speaker 1: lot of them, but they're some really good athletes. In fact,

1447
01:10:38,439 --> 01:10:42,000
Speaker 1: you remember the Clemson game what we was early in

1448
01:10:42,040 --> 01:10:44,719
Speaker 1: the season. Boston College played Clemson early in the season.

1449
01:10:44,840 --> 01:10:47,200
Speaker 1: Boston College's quarterback went down in the first series. The

1450
01:10:47,280 --> 01:10:51,440
Speaker 1: guy that came in E J. Perry as John's nephew. Talented,

1451
01:10:51,560 --> 01:10:55,160
Speaker 1: talented family. But I'd say John Perry. Yeah, I'm gonna

1452
01:10:55,200 --> 01:10:58,240
Speaker 1: say Andrey Johnson if I have to eliminate cushion, because

1453
01:10:58,280 --> 01:11:01,240
Speaker 1: that would be the guy obviously, I'll say Andrey Johnson

1454
01:11:01,479 --> 01:11:03,920
Speaker 1: is the one. So yeah, it's funny because I thought

1455
01:11:03,920 --> 01:11:06,479
Speaker 1: you were gonna go the direction of those Heat Knicks

1456
01:11:07,040 --> 01:11:12,320
Speaker 1: series were so intense. Those games were great Nicks and

1457
01:11:12,840 --> 01:11:15,360
Speaker 1: Pacers back in the day as well, And then I

1458
01:11:15,439 --> 01:11:18,880
Speaker 1: thought you were gonna say, like, what's the scrappiest Texans rival.

1459
01:11:18,960 --> 01:11:21,679
Speaker 1: And it's clearly the Titans. I just mentioned Finnigan, Mario

1460
01:11:21,800 --> 01:11:24,160
Speaker 1: Williams at oh nine ending up in the bench area,

1461
01:11:24,520 --> 01:11:26,960
Speaker 1: Clowney last year picking up a fifteen yard penalty on

1462
01:11:27,040 --> 01:11:29,759
Speaker 1: the bench, Oh my gosh, while he's not even playing,

1463
01:11:29,920 --> 01:11:33,000
Speaker 1: hurting the Texans chances to win. So the Titans are

1464
01:11:33,040 --> 01:11:36,360
Speaker 1: clearly the scrappiest rival and the most natural. Oh yeah,

1465
01:11:36,439 --> 01:11:39,719
Speaker 1: here's one of Sean pendergas can can attend to attest

1466
01:11:39,760 --> 01:11:43,320
Speaker 1: to Kyle Vannimbosch and Joel Greeson. That was a long

1467
01:11:43,439 --> 01:11:47,000
Speaker 1: held one that one went back. Dreason got him one time.

1468
01:11:47,400 --> 01:11:49,360
Speaker 1: Van de Basch spent like two years trying to get

1469
01:11:49,479 --> 01:11:54,040
Speaker 1: him back. What about May and Skinnina mixing it up

1470
01:11:54,360 --> 01:11:57,960
Speaker 1: and MAUI was just really hard to deal with, really

1471
01:11:58,000 --> 01:12:00,960
Speaker 1: hard to deal with for anybody Texans. Yeah, all right,

1472
01:12:01,080 --> 01:12:03,080
Speaker 1: all right, we're a month away. I can't believe I'm

1473
01:12:03,120 --> 01:12:04,880
Speaker 1: even saying this. I'm gonna get John. I know you're

1474
01:12:04,920 --> 01:12:06,679
Speaker 1: gonna be very excited about this. We're a month away

1475
01:12:06,760 --> 01:12:09,800
Speaker 1: from the first college football Saturday of the season. Like

1476
01:12:09,920 --> 01:12:12,519
Speaker 1: it's it's it's gonna happen in a month. You know

1477
01:12:12,600 --> 01:12:15,559
Speaker 1: that that sounds longer than it should be. You always

1478
01:12:15,640 --> 01:12:18,000
Speaker 1: say this, Yeah, I feel like when you just said,

1479
01:12:18,040 --> 01:12:20,800
Speaker 1: I was like, really, it's that long. Still feel like

1480
01:12:20,800 --> 01:12:22,679
Speaker 1: we've been at this for kind of like a while.

1481
01:12:23,040 --> 01:12:25,080
Speaker 1: And I see the Canes are in camp and a

1482
01:12:25,160 --> 01:12:27,280
Speaker 1: number of other teams, and I'm like, let's go anyway,

1483
01:12:27,320 --> 01:12:29,960
Speaker 1: go on. What's the best way to consume college football?

1484
01:12:30,040 --> 01:12:33,200
Speaker 1: The day before you guys have to broadcast at Texans game? Oh?

1485
01:12:33,439 --> 01:12:37,599
Speaker 1: Great question. Well are we traveling? We're at home. I'm

1486
01:12:37,680 --> 01:12:42,040
Speaker 1: home home. Oh you're at home, John, You're at home, Bandy,

1487
01:12:42,080 --> 01:12:45,120
Speaker 1: you're on the road. I got this, I've got I have.

1488
01:12:45,840 --> 01:12:50,519
Speaker 1: I have mastered the DVR concept and the I have

1489
01:12:50,600 --> 01:12:54,280
Speaker 1: PlayStation view. I can split my screen four ways so

1490
01:12:54,479 --> 01:12:56,439
Speaker 1: I can watch four games. The other way I can

1491
01:12:56,520 --> 01:12:59,280
Speaker 1: do it is on my DVR. I can go ten

1492
01:12:59,320 --> 01:13:02,000
Speaker 1: seconds head on play you used to not be able

1493
01:13:02,120 --> 01:13:03,720
Speaker 1: to on the on the one that I had you going,

1494
01:13:03,760 --> 01:13:06,920
Speaker 1: goes thirty seconds. Well, spread offenses up, Temple offenses go

1495
01:13:07,000 --> 01:13:08,760
Speaker 1: faster than thirty seconds, so I go ten seconds. But

1496
01:13:09,120 --> 01:13:12,400
Speaker 1: I can get caught up on three games by halftime

1497
01:13:13,120 --> 01:13:15,320
Speaker 1: and get to all the live to the live point.

1498
01:13:15,360 --> 01:13:19,200
Speaker 1: I have to imagine watching college football at John Harris's house.

1499
01:13:19,600 --> 01:13:23,240
Speaker 1: I mean, like NASA in there. I mean it's it's okay,

1500
01:13:23,240 --> 01:13:26,200
Speaker 1: we got there's too many things situation in Akron. Okay,

1501
01:13:26,200 --> 01:13:28,599
Speaker 1: we're going to the mac. Let's go. Now, when we're traveling.

1502
01:13:28,920 --> 01:13:30,880
Speaker 1: When we're traveling, that's a little that's a little different

1503
01:13:30,880 --> 01:13:34,600
Speaker 1: story because we depends on what plane we take. But

1504
01:13:34,600 --> 01:13:36,080
Speaker 1: when we go out at night, we go find a

1505
01:13:36,120 --> 01:13:38,479
Speaker 1: place where we can watch some games. Yeah, Mark and Away.

1506
01:13:38,720 --> 01:13:41,160
Speaker 1: It's it's really it's really pretty cool. We find a

1507
01:13:41,560 --> 01:13:43,680
Speaker 1: sports bar type of play, you know, we get a

1508
01:13:43,720 --> 01:13:46,400
Speaker 1: couple of screens and eat and watch and talk about

1509
01:13:46,439 --> 01:13:48,400
Speaker 1: what's going on and talk about the game the next day.

1510
01:13:48,479 --> 01:13:51,120
Speaker 1: And that is a really fun part of this job

1511
01:13:51,240 --> 01:13:53,120
Speaker 1: when you're on the road like that. Like I hope

1512
01:13:53,160 --> 01:13:55,000
Speaker 1: no one at home is listening to know that. That

1513
01:13:55,240 --> 01:13:58,639
Speaker 1: is just joyous to be there. Now that's all work. Actually,

1514
01:13:58,720 --> 01:14:01,000
Speaker 1: we're just grinding, studying, you know, I've done all that

1515
01:14:01,120 --> 01:14:03,799
Speaker 1: by that point. It's it's so much fun, all right. Vandermer.

1516
01:14:03,800 --> 01:14:06,920
Speaker 1: You've been the voice of the Texans since since they began,

1517
01:14:07,040 --> 01:14:09,080
Speaker 1: since the franchise began, you were you're the voice of

1518
01:14:09,120 --> 01:14:11,560
Speaker 1: the Texans. But before that, you were the voice of

1519
01:14:11,640 --> 01:14:14,280
Speaker 1: the Miami Hurricanes and one of the best college football

1520
01:14:14,360 --> 01:14:17,720
Speaker 1: teams we've ever seen in the early two thousands. I'm

1521
01:14:17,720 --> 01:14:21,439
Speaker 1: gonna give you the opportunity to take three players from

1522
01:14:21,520 --> 01:14:24,400
Speaker 1: that team and put them in their prime on the

1523
01:14:24,479 --> 01:14:27,400
Speaker 1: Houston Texans in twenty nineteen. Who you pick it? And

1524
01:14:27,439 --> 01:14:29,720
Speaker 1: you can't think Andrea. You can't pick on one of them.

1525
01:14:29,800 --> 01:14:32,400
Speaker 1: We had other than Andrea. That would be Ed Reid.

1526
01:14:32,479 --> 01:14:34,320
Speaker 1: But I don't want the edred we got. I want

1527
01:14:35,240 --> 01:14:37,639
Speaker 1: in their private eight years to add to this roster

1528
01:14:37,840 --> 01:14:41,439
Speaker 1: and their prime Madden. All right, it's funny because you

1529
01:14:41,479 --> 01:14:43,760
Speaker 1: know the corners on that team, all right, so listen,

1530
01:14:43,800 --> 01:14:46,800
Speaker 1: we have Philip Buchanan as well. Yeah, what should have

1531
01:14:46,840 --> 01:14:49,800
Speaker 1: been as prime and that didn't work. Okay. Mike Rump

1532
01:14:49,880 --> 01:14:51,840
Speaker 1: played for the forty nine ers. Not a great corner,

1533
01:14:51,880 --> 01:14:55,120
Speaker 1: but you know he in college was obviously really good.

1534
01:14:55,160 --> 01:14:57,760
Speaker 1: I mean they were loaded with NFL players. So I'll

1535
01:14:57,800 --> 01:15:02,000
Speaker 1: say read and I'll say, Johnny, where am I going here?

1536
01:15:02,040 --> 01:15:03,800
Speaker 1: I know I'll help you out with this. This was

1537
01:15:03,920 --> 01:15:07,240
Speaker 1: right at the tail end freshman in two thousand and one,

1538
01:15:07,640 --> 01:15:10,800
Speaker 1: and he played safety. I would play John Taylor. Taylor

1539
01:15:11,720 --> 01:15:14,240
Speaker 1: because forget about him because he was I would play

1540
01:15:14,320 --> 01:15:16,639
Speaker 1: him too. I know it's crazy. I know it's crazy.

1541
01:15:16,680 --> 01:15:19,280
Speaker 1: You play him in corner. Well maybe on this team,

1542
01:15:19,360 --> 01:15:21,320
Speaker 1: just to get him the right fit that might be

1543
01:15:21,360 --> 01:15:22,800
Speaker 1: a guy play corner. I mean, he's the best safety.

1544
01:15:22,920 --> 01:15:24,559
Speaker 1: He's the best defensive player I ever seen. I saw

1545
01:15:24,640 --> 01:15:26,639
Speaker 1: him playing in high school. He's the greatest high school

1546
01:15:26,640 --> 01:15:28,160
Speaker 1: player I've ever seen, and I've seen a lot of them.

1547
01:15:28,320 --> 01:15:30,680
Speaker 1: He was unbelievable. I feel pretty good. I feel good

1548
01:15:30,680 --> 01:15:32,720
Speaker 1: about our tight end situation. But you know, are you

1549
01:15:32,880 --> 01:15:35,200
Speaker 1: gonna go, you know, with one of the tight ends,

1550
01:15:35,200 --> 01:15:37,280
Speaker 1: So you're gonna go Jeremy Shocky or somebody like that.

1551
01:15:37,640 --> 01:15:39,680
Speaker 1: I'd lend the years like if I if I'd watch

1552
01:15:39,720 --> 01:15:43,360
Speaker 1: shock over Winslow, I'd watch Shocky over Winslow. Oh yeah,

1553
01:15:43,760 --> 01:15:46,040
Speaker 1: oh yeah. I mean and look at the pro careers

1554
01:15:46,080 --> 01:15:49,320
Speaker 1: they had, right, So I'd probably go there. There's no

1555
01:15:49,520 --> 01:15:52,759
Speaker 1: line well Benardrick McKinney, I mean, no, he's our lineback.

1556
01:15:52,960 --> 01:15:55,000
Speaker 1: What am I thinking about? I'm thinking of um, oh,

1557
01:15:55,080 --> 01:15:56,840
Speaker 1: I know, I know where you're going. Wait wait wait uh?

1558
01:15:58,160 --> 01:16:01,000
Speaker 1: Who am I thinking of? The offensive lineman McKinney, Yes, oh,

1559
01:16:01,040 --> 01:16:03,800
Speaker 1: Bran mny Ban McKinney. Yes, Brian McKinney. I just had

1560
01:16:03,800 --> 01:16:06,040
Speaker 1: a moment here. Well it's ninety five degrees and I'm

1561
01:16:06,040 --> 01:16:08,880
Speaker 1: allowed to Brian Brian McKinny. No, I'm going Brian mckinn

1562
01:16:08,960 --> 01:16:12,680
Speaker 1: I interest you in, Frank Gore, Willis mcgay. That'd be good.

1563
01:16:12,960 --> 01:16:16,720
Speaker 1: Any of those three gotta Miami running back. We do.

1564
01:16:16,920 --> 01:16:18,519
Speaker 1: We can add more too, We add more to you.

1565
01:16:18,840 --> 01:16:20,760
Speaker 1: Of those three, which one would you pick? Because I'm

1566
01:16:20,800 --> 01:16:22,360
Speaker 1: mad at d Reid for what he did here, I'll

1567
01:16:22,360 --> 01:16:27,040
Speaker 1: go Taylor McKinney, portis done. Yeah. I think that's that's

1568
01:16:27,080 --> 01:16:29,040
Speaker 1: the best three to get out of that team. I mean,

1569
01:16:29,080 --> 01:16:31,599
Speaker 1: it's it's amazing to look at. I mean you could.

1570
01:16:31,800 --> 01:16:33,519
Speaker 1: I mean they had some linebackers, you like Dan Morgan

1571
01:16:33,600 --> 01:16:35,040
Speaker 1: was a heck of a player, but you don't need

1572
01:16:37,960 --> 01:16:41,080
Speaker 1: Organ was gone by them though. That's the Problemma was

1573
01:16:41,120 --> 01:16:44,759
Speaker 1: really good. Yeah, Sean Taylor on this defense just unfair.

1574
01:16:45,200 --> 01:16:47,800
Speaker 1: Any guy, Mark, you could do anything, lucky guy that

1575
01:16:48,160 --> 01:16:50,680
Speaker 1: was that was jewelry too. Did you get the Yeah?

1576
01:16:50,680 --> 01:16:53,320
Speaker 1: I got it. I got the blame. Wow, I got

1577
01:16:53,400 --> 01:16:56,000
Speaker 1: the blame. The respect level from Mark vandermir Landry Alacker's

1578
01:16:56,000 --> 01:16:57,880
Speaker 1: eyes just went up like ten already knew this. Did

1579
01:16:57,920 --> 01:17:00,320
Speaker 1: they ever take you on the yacht during the illegal No? No,

1580
01:17:00,439 --> 01:17:03,880
Speaker 1: I never, I never went, but I will I will

1581
01:17:03,960 --> 01:17:07,320
Speaker 1: say this. I once amc a basketball banquet where I

1582
01:17:07,360 --> 01:17:10,439
Speaker 1: got a little note that said, please thank Nevin Shapiro

1583
01:17:10,680 --> 01:17:13,639
Speaker 1: for whatever he did. Did you do it? Yeah? Yeah?

1584
01:17:13,680 --> 01:17:17,479
Speaker 1: I was like Mary whatever? Whoever this guy he investigated? Bandy? Yeah.

1585
01:17:19,000 --> 01:17:21,760
Speaker 1: Charles Robinson called Mark vandam here a few years ago. Hey,

1586
01:17:21,960 --> 01:17:26,320
Speaker 1: so tell us about this basketball banquet menu nude? No,

1587
01:17:26,439 --> 01:17:28,599
Speaker 1: I'll tell you. Well, you know, since you brought it up.

1588
01:17:29,320 --> 01:17:30,960
Speaker 1: You know, I was lucky enough to do the baseball

1589
01:17:31,040 --> 01:17:32,760
Speaker 1: championship at A one as well. And that was the

1590
01:17:33,200 --> 01:17:35,920
Speaker 1: squarter forty two game winning streak that the Canes had

1591
01:17:36,000 --> 01:17:39,439
Speaker 1: between baseball, football, and basketball started at fourteen to OZ.

1592
01:17:39,600 --> 01:17:42,120
Speaker 1: So I broadcast forty two games in a row without

1593
01:17:42,120 --> 01:17:44,719
Speaker 1: a loss. Wow. And I think, you know, with Joseph

1594
01:17:44,720 --> 01:17:46,960
Speaker 1: Gaku is still there and I think that that's a

1595
01:17:47,040 --> 01:17:49,120
Speaker 1: record that you know, we have nothing to do with.

1596
01:17:49,479 --> 01:17:51,680
Speaker 1: But I don't think it'll ever be broken. What is

1597
01:17:51,720 --> 01:17:54,479
Speaker 1: the trip you guys are looking most forward to this year?

1598
01:17:54,520 --> 01:17:56,439
Speaker 1: We're not gonna count Green Bay. What is the trip?

1599
01:17:56,479 --> 01:17:59,280
Speaker 1: Because you guys go and we're gonna exclude the division,

1600
01:17:59,320 --> 01:18:01,240
Speaker 1: so we're not gonna sad division becauld you get familiar

1601
01:18:01,280 --> 01:18:03,080
Speaker 1: with that. But of all the places the road games

1602
01:18:03,120 --> 01:18:06,280
Speaker 1: that the Texans have, what trip are John Harris and

1603
01:18:06,320 --> 01:18:09,320
Speaker 1: Mark vandermir looking most forward to? This? One's easy? I

1604
01:18:09,479 --> 01:18:12,800
Speaker 1: was I wasn't as thrilled about the London trip early on, like, hey,

1605
01:18:12,920 --> 01:18:17,840
Speaker 1: wait whatever, right, but I'm I'm pumped. I'm pumped about

1606
01:18:17,880 --> 01:18:19,880
Speaker 1: the London trip. I'm hoping to squeeze in a Man

1607
01:18:20,040 --> 01:18:21,880
Speaker 1: City game. I might have to take the train up

1608
01:18:21,880 --> 01:18:23,800
Speaker 1: there to see Man City. I think they'd take on

1609
01:18:23,920 --> 01:18:27,320
Speaker 1: Southampton in Premier League that week, so that would be

1610
01:18:27,400 --> 01:18:29,280
Speaker 1: incredible if I got a Man City game in. If

1611
01:18:29,280 --> 01:18:30,840
Speaker 1: I could go to the at Thead and watch Man

1612
01:18:31,000 --> 01:18:34,400
Speaker 1: City and then see US beat the Jags shut it down,

1613
01:18:34,439 --> 01:18:36,160
Speaker 1: that's the best week I could have. I'm not gonna

1614
01:18:36,200 --> 01:18:38,479
Speaker 1: poop poo the London trip. I think that's gonna be great.

1615
01:18:38,560 --> 01:18:40,320
Speaker 1: But you know, in the grind of a season, it's

1616
01:18:40,360 --> 01:18:43,280
Speaker 1: just tough. It's just a tough trip. Right, Mexico City

1617
01:18:43,320 --> 01:18:45,240
Speaker 1: was a tough trip. You're the grind of a season,

1618
01:18:45,520 --> 01:18:47,679
Speaker 1: and it was part of a three game losing streak

1619
01:18:47,720 --> 01:18:50,120
Speaker 1: for this team at a bad time. If there's never

1620
01:18:50,160 --> 01:18:51,600
Speaker 1: a good time for a three game losing streak, but

1621
01:18:51,640 --> 01:18:53,080
Speaker 1: it was a really bad time because there were six

1622
01:18:53,120 --> 01:18:54,880
Speaker 1: and three there with six and six and then they

1623
01:18:54,920 --> 01:18:56,880
Speaker 1: got to go in and won the division and that

1624
01:18:57,120 --> 01:19:00,400
Speaker 1: was a great save by them at the time. But

1625
01:19:00,600 --> 01:19:03,240
Speaker 1: I'm looking forward to Kansas City. I love going to Arrowhead.

1626
01:19:03,280 --> 01:19:04,920
Speaker 1: We haven't been there in the regular season in a

1627
01:19:05,000 --> 01:19:07,720
Speaker 1: long time, and that is gonna be a madhouse with

1628
01:19:07,920 --> 01:19:11,080
Speaker 1: Mahomes and Watson, It's gonna be huge. I'm gonna go

1629
01:19:11,160 --> 01:19:13,160
Speaker 1: to I think it's Jack Stack the night before, get

1630
01:19:13,200 --> 01:19:16,160
Speaker 1: the Burt ends, and the next day take in the

1631
01:19:16,280 --> 01:19:18,800
Speaker 1: game and call it. And I just hate the booth

1632
01:19:19,400 --> 01:19:22,880
Speaker 1: terribly there. It's an awful booth with closed windows. Just

1633
01:19:23,000 --> 01:19:24,920
Speaker 1: lucky to be there, lucky to be there, though I'm

1634
01:19:24,920 --> 01:19:27,919
Speaker 1: not very lucky to be there. Yeah, You're You're fortunate.

1635
01:19:28,240 --> 01:19:33,040
Speaker 1: Is the barbecue as good as everyone says barbecuecue can't

1636
01:19:33,080 --> 01:19:35,320
Speaker 1: see barbecue for here. Barbecue is better here, but it's

1637
01:19:35,360 --> 01:19:38,360
Speaker 1: really good there. It doesn't mean it sucks when people

1638
01:19:38,400 --> 01:19:41,160
Speaker 1: have the barbecue debate. You're not saying the barbecue somewhere

1639
01:19:41,160 --> 01:19:43,920
Speaker 1: else sucks. You're just saying yours is better. It's like

1640
01:19:44,160 --> 01:19:47,479
Speaker 1: who's a better quarterback, Brady or Rogers. Right, you're not

1641
01:19:47,560 --> 01:19:50,280
Speaker 1: saying the other guy sucks. Whoever got you take right?

1642
01:19:50,560 --> 01:19:53,400
Speaker 1: You'll take either one. Barbecue though, I'll take the barbecue

1643
01:19:53,439 --> 01:19:55,559
Speaker 1: here every time the barbecue here is off the charts.

1644
01:19:55,680 --> 01:19:59,080
Speaker 1: I'm about to provide Texans players with some bulletin board material.

1645
01:19:59,160 --> 01:20:01,120
Speaker 1: One of the most inner tanning things you guys do

1646
01:20:01,200 --> 01:20:04,160
Speaker 1: at Houston Texans dot com is the is the walk

1647
01:20:04,280 --> 01:20:06,800
Speaker 1: with John Harrison players. However, there might be some beef

1648
01:20:06,840 --> 01:20:09,920
Speaker 1: if you answer this question honestly, you played some college

1649
01:20:09,960 --> 01:20:12,240
Speaker 1: football on your day. You were a safety. Yes, at

1650
01:20:12,280 --> 01:20:16,160
Speaker 1: your most athletic, what players on the current Texans roster

1651
01:20:16,520 --> 01:20:20,400
Speaker 1: could you have beaten in a race? None? None? At

1652
01:20:20,439 --> 01:20:23,800
Speaker 1: your most you could have beaten John Weeks in a race? No? None,

1653
01:20:24,080 --> 01:20:27,400
Speaker 1: really no Weeks. No, I was not. I was so

1654
01:20:27,560 --> 01:20:31,800
Speaker 1: not athletic. I was the proverbial smart, willing to give

1655
01:20:31,840 --> 01:20:34,519
Speaker 1: up his lunch guy. Yeah. I was the glue guy.

1656
01:20:34,920 --> 01:20:36,880
Speaker 1: I was the glue guy. I was always the glue guy.

1657
01:20:36,920 --> 01:20:40,719
Speaker 1: I was never fast guy. This question, I mean, could

1658
01:20:41,560 --> 01:20:45,640
Speaker 1: oh I might be able to beat like in a

1659
01:20:45,840 --> 01:20:50,200
Speaker 1: in a forty same weeks, no weeks was all state

1660
01:20:50,320 --> 01:20:52,599
Speaker 1: as a d lineman in a high school. That's the thing.

1661
01:20:52,720 --> 01:20:54,240
Speaker 1: I mean, you bring up a great point in Landry.

1662
01:20:54,800 --> 01:20:57,320
Speaker 1: People sit on at home on TV and watch these

1663
01:20:57,360 --> 01:20:59,400
Speaker 1: guys go I grew him fashion That guy there was

1664
01:20:59,400 --> 01:21:01,080
Speaker 1: a great I don't I can't remember who did. Oh

1665
01:21:01,160 --> 01:21:04,120
Speaker 1: it was Katie Nolan. This guy tweets out I could

1666
01:21:04,200 --> 01:21:06,320
Speaker 1: run a four four. I could run a four four, Like,

1667
01:21:06,360 --> 01:21:07,960
Speaker 1: do you know how fast a four four? Just when

1668
01:21:08,080 --> 01:21:11,719
Speaker 1: found the guy he ran a five five? Like, seriously,

1669
01:21:11,840 --> 01:21:13,600
Speaker 1: some of those high school coaches are a little a

1670
01:21:13,680 --> 01:21:15,760
Speaker 1: little slow with the thumb when they time you a

1671
01:21:15,880 --> 01:21:18,599
Speaker 1: little bit, just a little bit, a little bit high school.

1672
01:21:18,600 --> 01:21:20,639
Speaker 1: I mean high school coaches are stopping at the thirty

1673
01:21:20,680 --> 01:21:23,000
Speaker 1: five going bang, and then you're still running. It's like

1674
01:21:23,080 --> 01:21:25,479
Speaker 1: when you're watching a knuckleballer, like I could throw faster

1675
01:21:25,600 --> 01:21:29,080
Speaker 1: than you know. Just relax, just just calm yourself down,

1676
01:21:29,160 --> 01:21:31,400
Speaker 1: because these guys are at such a level that, yes,

1677
01:21:31,880 --> 01:21:34,640
Speaker 1: even the lineman. I asked Show Henderson yesterday, like what

1678
01:21:34,760 --> 01:21:37,120
Speaker 1: was your fastest four times? He said the combine that

1679
01:21:37,240 --> 01:21:40,599
Speaker 1: ran five flat at three hundred and thirty pounds or whatever,

1680
01:21:40,640 --> 01:21:42,960
Speaker 1: it was like that just should be legal. Yeah, I

1681
01:21:43,000 --> 01:21:46,400
Speaker 1: should be elis. They don't realize these guys are ridiculous athletes.

1682
01:21:46,479 --> 01:21:49,000
Speaker 1: It's massive, large and ridiculous, right. I want to ask

1683
01:21:49,040 --> 01:21:51,120
Speaker 1: you guys this one before I get out of here.

1684
01:21:51,120 --> 01:21:53,040
Speaker 1: All Right, you only get to pick one because there's

1685
01:21:53,040 --> 01:21:55,800
Speaker 1: a lot of possibilities, but you get to because we

1686
01:21:55,880 --> 01:21:58,800
Speaker 1: talked about football movies yesterday. You get to pick and

1687
01:21:59,160 --> 01:22:02,200
Speaker 1: in your goal is to generate the most revenue and

1688
01:22:02,280 --> 01:22:05,040
Speaker 1: have the most intriguing story. JJ Watt has excluded from

1689
01:22:05,040 --> 01:22:08,559
Speaker 1: this discussion. Okay, you have to create a movie centered

1690
01:22:08,600 --> 01:22:12,840
Speaker 1: around an active Texans player. Who are you picking? Good one?

1691
01:22:13,479 --> 01:22:15,639
Speaker 1: That's a good We have some good stories here, though.

1692
01:22:15,680 --> 01:22:19,320
Speaker 1: I got one. I got one that J Moore, DJ

1693
01:22:19,560 --> 01:22:24,120
Speaker 1: Reader DJ Reader. In twenty fifteen, his dad had passed away.

1694
01:22:24,680 --> 01:22:26,880
Speaker 1: He stepped away from the team and was like, why

1695
01:22:27,040 --> 01:22:29,920
Speaker 1: is he gonna They didn't know, and Davil Sweeney was

1696
01:22:30,000 --> 01:22:32,000
Speaker 1: very nebulosaboty. He just said, here, DJ's not with the

1697
01:22:32,000 --> 01:22:34,840
Speaker 1: team right now. He ended up coming back, but it

1698
01:22:34,960 --> 01:22:37,840
Speaker 1: sort of set him back because he was he was

1699
01:22:37,880 --> 01:22:39,360
Speaker 1: gone for a while, so he really didn't get back

1700
01:22:39,360 --> 01:22:41,680
Speaker 1: in the lineup to like week four, week five and

1701
01:22:41,880 --> 01:22:45,240
Speaker 1: and played pretty well, but he realized he wanted to

1702
01:22:45,280 --> 01:22:48,800
Speaker 1: be around a team. And then he's the last draft

1703
01:22:48,880 --> 01:22:52,120
Speaker 1: pick of the Texans in twenty sixteen. He's the fifth round.

1704
01:22:52,200 --> 01:22:55,800
Speaker 1: He's the last guy taken. He's he's around Vince will

1705
01:22:55,880 --> 01:22:57,760
Speaker 1: Fork the first couple of years and he's turned into

1706
01:22:57,840 --> 01:23:00,800
Speaker 1: this guy played baseball at Clemson. I mean, he's he's

1707
01:23:00,840 --> 01:23:04,800
Speaker 1: a phenomenal, phenomenal story. DJ Reader, That's that's one. I

1708
01:23:04,840 --> 01:23:08,599
Speaker 1: mean Vick Hop two, you know with with Hop story

1709
01:23:08,640 --> 01:23:10,599
Speaker 1: when he was younger with his mother. I mean, there

1710
01:23:10,600 --> 01:23:12,559
Speaker 1: are a lot of them you could go with DJ.

1711
01:23:13,080 --> 01:23:15,320
Speaker 1: I'll take I'll take you the one. And vith Viz

1712
01:23:15,439 --> 01:23:18,120
Speaker 1: Smith's a good story. Now it's not kind of hard

1713
01:23:18,240 --> 01:23:20,720
Speaker 1: scrabble like DJ, you know, with losing his father and all.

1714
01:23:20,760 --> 01:23:22,680
Speaker 1: But Vincent Smith's a great story, which we told him

1715
01:23:22,680 --> 01:23:25,120
Speaker 1: the fifty three, which is up at Houston Texas dot com,

1716
01:23:25,200 --> 01:23:27,400
Speaker 1: which is brilliant. What do you have going on? I'm

1717
01:23:27,439 --> 01:23:29,479
Speaker 1: in the loop. We got a lot, man. Obviously, there

1718
01:23:29,560 --> 01:23:32,160
Speaker 1: was some big news yesterday in the MLB. The Houston

1719
01:23:32,240 --> 01:23:35,120
Speaker 1: Astros made a trade. Jeff Luno is getting a lot

1720
01:23:35,160 --> 01:23:37,000
Speaker 1: of credit. But I think we need to we need

1721
01:23:37,040 --> 01:23:39,960
Speaker 1: to toast somebody else who people don't talk about enough.

1722
01:23:40,000 --> 01:23:42,439
Speaker 1: We're gonna have a player straight off the practice field,

1723
01:23:42,439 --> 01:23:44,799
Speaker 1: and we're gonna talk about the splashes. All the teams

1724
01:23:44,840 --> 01:23:47,679
Speaker 1: in town have made the biggest splash the Texans have made,

1725
01:23:48,000 --> 01:23:50,680
Speaker 1: obviously the driver a trade of Deshaun Watson, not just

1726
01:23:50,760 --> 01:23:53,160
Speaker 1: the recent ones that that impact the landscape right now.

1727
01:23:53,520 --> 01:23:55,720
Speaker 1: But we're obviously gonna get into all those. There's so

1728
01:23:55,840 --> 01:23:57,760
Speaker 1: much going on, it's gonna be a fun one and

1729
01:23:57,840 --> 01:24:00,760
Speaker 1: we're lucky to have a good lead in Thank you, guys, Oh,

1730
01:24:00,960 --> 01:24:02,840
Speaker 1: thank you very much, sir. You know, I think that

1731
01:24:03,200 --> 01:24:06,960
Speaker 1: it's really worth bringing up splashes because I get it

1732
01:24:07,040 --> 01:24:09,400
Speaker 1: that the fans are thinking, oh Greggy, now, everybody make

1733
01:24:09,439 --> 01:24:13,120
Speaker 1: a move. Listen Watson two years ago. That move was

1734
01:24:13,840 --> 01:24:16,840
Speaker 1: seismic to move up in the draft and take him

1735
01:24:17,160 --> 01:24:19,719
Speaker 1: at number twelve and what he's meant for this team,

1736
01:24:19,960 --> 01:24:23,040
Speaker 1: and you cannot take that for granted. Number four is

1737
01:24:23,040 --> 01:24:25,960
Speaker 1: out there slinging it all off season long to get

1738
01:24:26,000 --> 01:24:29,200
Speaker 1: ready for really the follow up to his first full season.

1739
01:24:29,560 --> 01:24:32,880
Speaker 1: Let's see how it goes together. Tonight, I'm Texans All

1740
01:24:32,960 --> 01:24:36,799
Speaker 1: Access will recap everything that happened at practice today, Johnny,

1741
01:24:36,880 --> 01:24:38,679
Speaker 1: what's one thing that you're gonna be watching out for today?

1742
01:24:38,720 --> 01:24:41,479
Speaker 1: Give me a little nugget. Well, I think Alan Pad's

1743
01:24:41,520 --> 01:24:43,160
Speaker 1: out here. I want to see how the office lineman

1744
01:24:43,200 --> 01:24:46,120
Speaker 1: hold up. So I was Howard not practicing, by the way,

1745
01:24:46,560 --> 01:24:48,479
Speaker 1: is Howard in shorts? But I want to see Max

1746
01:24:48,520 --> 01:24:51,080
Speaker 1: Sharping today a little bit, you know, talking a little

1747
01:24:51,080 --> 01:24:53,040
Speaker 1: bit earlier about you know, I think John said, you know,

1748
01:24:53,120 --> 01:24:54,760
Speaker 1: Max Sharping doesn't move that way. He moves a little

1749
01:24:54,760 --> 01:24:57,639
Speaker 1: better and people think, look, he's not, you know, sweet

1750
01:24:57,640 --> 01:24:59,720
Speaker 1: feet dancer, but he moves a little bit better than

1751
01:24:59,720 --> 01:25:01,760
Speaker 1: people thinking he's strong as an ox. So I keep

1752
01:25:01,760 --> 01:25:04,600
Speaker 1: myhyd the rookie Max Sharping mottment today. Okay, looking at that,

1753
01:25:04,800 --> 01:25:06,680
Speaker 1: I just want to see some of these matchups and

1754
01:25:06,840 --> 01:25:10,240
Speaker 1: see and hear the ooze and oz of the crowd

1755
01:25:10,320 --> 01:25:13,080
Speaker 1: here at the Houston Methodist Training Center. As Watson's doing

1756
01:25:13,160 --> 01:25:14,880
Speaker 1: one on ones right now, just threw a deep ball

1757
01:25:14,920 --> 01:25:17,320
Speaker 1: to DeAndre Hopkins. Let about it too far. You know,

1758
01:25:18,000 --> 01:25:20,759
Speaker 1: throwing the ball to DeAndre Hopkins in practice is just cheating.

1759
01:25:20,920 --> 01:25:25,240
Speaker 1: It's unfair. It's cheating. Jjo matched up on DeAndre on

1760
01:25:25,360 --> 01:25:27,640
Speaker 1: that particular one on one doing a little play by

1761
01:25:27,800 --> 01:25:31,000
Speaker 1: play of practice. That's the way out. Yeah, getting warmed

1762
01:25:31,080 --> 01:25:32,640
Speaker 1: up for next Will I love the deep ball to

1763
01:25:32,720 --> 01:25:35,639
Speaker 1: Watson throws and he just threw a touchdown to Vincent

1764
01:25:35,960 --> 01:25:40,200
Speaker 1: Smith matched up with Justin Reid. That's good stuff right there.

1765
01:25:40,640 --> 01:25:43,280
Speaker 1: Thread of the needle. Okay, that's gonna do it for

1766
01:25:43,600 --> 01:25:47,320
Speaker 1: Texans Trading Camp Live, Day seven of practice. Day eight
