1 00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:03,000 Speaker 1: Hey, what's up everybody. Welcome into a Tuesday edition of 2 00:00:03,040 --> 00:00:08,039 Speaker 1: Texans All Access the Desert. Yes, we've reached that point 3 00:00:08,080 --> 00:00:12,200 Speaker 1: of the year where as Mark puts it, it's drives 4 00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:15,360 Speaker 1: the desert. But now not really. We still got content 5 00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:17,960 Speaker 1: for you, and we got plenty for you on tonight's show. 6 00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:21,520 Speaker 1: Appreciate you being with me. John Harris, football analyst, sideline reporter, 7 00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:27,480 Speaker 1: your host for the proceedings. Yes, we are going to 8 00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:31,720 Speaker 1: hear a little bit tonight from David Johnson, a little 9 00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:34,159 Speaker 1: Drew's Dozen with David Johnson. Later in the show. We 10 00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:36,760 Speaker 1: also are going to hear from John Grenardi did a 11 00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:40,519 Speaker 1: great deep slant with our good friend Deepee City. But 12 00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:42,720 Speaker 1: we're gonna start off the show as I mentioned last night, 13 00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:45,519 Speaker 1: and we started off the show last night with the 14 00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:50,520 Speaker 1: ultimate in the Lab draft, thirty two NFL teams, thirty 15 00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:54,000 Speaker 1: two picks. We got it kicked off last night and 16 00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:57,600 Speaker 1: it's it's a blast. It really is funny. It was 17 00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:01,960 Speaker 1: a really, really difficult extra size to try and get 18 00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:07,160 Speaker 1: it all really done, if you will. I mean, we 19 00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:08,759 Speaker 1: had to go at it for a while, so that's 20 00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:11,040 Speaker 1: why we had to split it up. But it was 21 00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:12,760 Speaker 1: one of the best exercises we've done. It was one 22 00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:15,440 Speaker 1: of the most fun exercises that we've done. Drew and 23 00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:18,479 Speaker 1: I had a great time. Let's get on into round 24 00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:23,440 Speaker 1: two of the in the lab Ultimate NFL Draft. Here 25 00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:27,200 Speaker 1: we go. So we're starting things off today. I get 26 00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:29,520 Speaker 1: the first pick. This time, you get the first pick. 27 00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:31,520 Speaker 1: That's right, you get the first pick because I took 28 00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:37,000 Speaker 1: overall because, as we've said, and it bears repeating, we've 29 00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:39,479 Speaker 1: got a couple of things going on. Number one, the 30 00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:43,200 Speaker 1: player in filling out an entire roster, but then also 31 00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:47,760 Speaker 1: the team. That's why I went Bengals early on because 32 00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:50,480 Speaker 1: it's satisfied too, because Anthony Nios is the best Bengal 33 00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:54,080 Speaker 1: ever A satisfies a left tackle needs. So there are 34 00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:57,840 Speaker 1: a number of things to consider as we as we'd 35 00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:01,920 Speaker 1: make these picks, and so you know it's and the 36 00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:04,840 Speaker 1: third part is, like you said, if you draft a 37 00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:08,040 Speaker 1: player and you draft him from a particular team, then 38 00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:10,640 Speaker 1: you're taking him away. I e. Dean Sanders, you're taking 39 00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:12,840 Speaker 1: him away. I can't pick him from any of the 40 00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:14,440 Speaker 1: other teams that he played on, even though he played 41 00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:15,880 Speaker 1: on a thing three or four of the team. So 42 00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:18,840 Speaker 1: there's a lot to consider in all this, and then 43 00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:23,160 Speaker 1: the last thing is the specialist angle. How will you 44 00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:26,080 Speaker 1: handle a specialists? I think I have a way that 45 00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:29,359 Speaker 1: I'm going to do it, but we'll we'll we'll see 46 00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:30,760 Speaker 1: how it goes. I might have to break down and 47 00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:33,160 Speaker 1: I don't know, we'll see. I know how I'm gonna 48 00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:37,120 Speaker 1: do it. And yeah, you're you're gonna see one of 49 00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:40,040 Speaker 1: my specialists you want to consider him is the return 50 00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:42,840 Speaker 1: guy and Dion Sanders. I knocked that out with my 51 00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:45,480 Speaker 1: very first pick, So yeah, you did. As you hear 52 00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:48,080 Speaker 1: my stupid dogs barking on a leaf. I love like 53 00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:51,360 Speaker 1: stupid dogs. They're barking on a leaf in the front 54 00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:54,440 Speaker 1: yard or something. Whatever it takes, it's cool, all right, 55 00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:57,480 Speaker 1: you get the first pick. You're going where. This is 56 00:02:57,520 --> 00:03:00,960 Speaker 1: tough because I thought about Frances, I thought about what 57 00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:04,040 Speaker 1: I need, and it came down to go on from 58 00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:06,560 Speaker 1: either the Raiders, the Cardinals or the Jets, because I 59 00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:08,919 Speaker 1: think there's pretty big drop offs after the top one 60 00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:11,959 Speaker 1: of each. Yeah, I'm going with the Raiders though, because 61 00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:14,640 Speaker 1: I think one of the greatest guards of all time 62 00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:18,560 Speaker 1: is somebody that I need. Because I took Bruce Matthews 63 00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:21,079 Speaker 1: and he might play guard, he might play center, but 64 00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:23,160 Speaker 1: he gives me flexibility. But I want to make sure 65 00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:26,680 Speaker 1: that I still I stay stout up front. And maybe 66 00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:29,440 Speaker 1: the greatest raider of all time, maybe some people have 67 00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:31,840 Speaker 1: him as the greatest raider of all time. Is Gene Upshaw, 68 00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:36,920 Speaker 1: the offensive lineman, the guard, you know, so many all 69 00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:40,480 Speaker 1: pro teams that he made. He's you know, more famous 70 00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:43,160 Speaker 1: to younger fans now as being the recent head of 71 00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:46,280 Speaker 1: He's basically before Damar Smith of the NFL Players Union. 72 00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:48,400 Speaker 1: But I'm gonna go with him because he was a phenomenal, 73 00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:54,560 Speaker 1: phenomenal player. I'm taking Gene Upshaw. I'm bolstering my offensive line. 74 00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:58,600 Speaker 1: You know, I really would like to continue the offensive 75 00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:02,440 Speaker 1: line thought. And as you say, potentially the best guard 76 00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:04,920 Speaker 1: of all time. I'm like, oh man, I've got my 77 00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:08,800 Speaker 1: offensive line filled out, and I feel I feel pretty 78 00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:14,040 Speaker 1: good about that. One place I have not dabbled, if 79 00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:20,000 Speaker 1: you will, is in any of the skill positions. Ye 80 00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:24,359 Speaker 1: or I should say ball carriers at perimeter positions. The 81 00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:26,440 Speaker 1: skills ist guy he took was Luke Kinckley, and he's 82 00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:29,039 Speaker 1: a linebacker. Yeah, now he's fantastic. Don't get me wrong. 83 00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:31,600 Speaker 1: You were trenches the rest of the way I did. 84 00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:35,200 Speaker 1: I want trenches, but I'm gonna go out wide, and 85 00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:37,760 Speaker 1: I've already taken from the Vikings, so I cannot take 86 00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:41,960 Speaker 1: Randy Moss of the Vikings. However, I am going to 87 00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:45,279 Speaker 1: take Randy Moss, who I think in two thousand and 88 00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:47,640 Speaker 1: seven strung together one of the greatest seasons, if not 89 00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:51,080 Speaker 1: the greatest season receivers ever had. He's the freak, that 90 00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:54,240 Speaker 1: was his nickname. I will take the Patriots off the board. 91 00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:57,640 Speaker 1: So no Tom Brady from me, but I am taking 92 00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:04,800 Speaker 1: Patriots wide receiver Randy Moss. Interesting pick because that means 93 00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:10,080 Speaker 1: I have a choice of Brady later, on Kowski grow 94 00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:14,080 Speaker 1: on Kowski later and a name that not a lot 95 00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:17,920 Speaker 1: of people think about. But it was at my disposal 96 00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:19,920 Speaker 1: no matter what, because you've used up all your offensive 97 00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:21,640 Speaker 1: one and you could use him as as a swing guy. 98 00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:26,200 Speaker 1: Now you can't. John Hannah some sort sometimes the greatest 99 00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:29,080 Speaker 1: guard ever I know, and so that leaves him on 100 00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:31,640 Speaker 1: the board for you. At that point, you have options. 101 00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:35,640 Speaker 1: But I was circling Randy Moss from the beginning, but 102 00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:39,400 Speaker 1: I either way, I was gonna come up with Randy Moss. 103 00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:42,440 Speaker 1: So I came up with Random McDaniel and Randy Moss, 104 00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:46,320 Speaker 1: or I could have had John Hannah and Vikings Randy Moss. 105 00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:50,359 Speaker 1: I feel okay either way with that, although John Hannah 106 00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:52,760 Speaker 1: is pretty pretty arm good, So I'm a feeling that's 107 00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:55,039 Speaker 1: where you might go. But so good about Patriots Randy 108 00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:57,360 Speaker 1: Moss for sure. Three, I was gonna go with Vikings. 109 00:05:57,400 --> 00:05:58,960 Speaker 1: I was gonna go with Vikings Randy Moss. So you've 110 00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:00,480 Speaker 1: kind of made this easier, but you've kind of made 111 00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:02,919 Speaker 1: us harder in a way. So that's that's all right. Yeah, 112 00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:07,320 Speaker 1: the Jets, that's a tricky team. That's hard. I love 113 00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:09,919 Speaker 1: Joe Namath, but I don't want Joe Namath as my quarterback. 114 00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:12,039 Speaker 1: You know, like he's the greatest Jet ever, I don't 115 00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:14,239 Speaker 1: want him as my quarterback. No offense, Joe, But there's 116 00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:17,320 Speaker 1: I got better choices. And then you've got Mark Gastino 117 00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:20,520 Speaker 1: and you've got Joe Cleco and they're really really good players. 118 00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:23,880 Speaker 1: But I've got a lot of other elite off defensive 119 00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:28,960 Speaker 1: lineman I can go with m So I gotta I 120 00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:31,640 Speaker 1: gotta guard Randy Moss, and I gotta I got a 121 00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:36,120 Speaker 1: guy standers. But you're gonna have another good ride receiver 122 00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:39,920 Speaker 1: out there. So I'm taking Durrell Reevs and I'm taking 123 00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:43,400 Speaker 1: Revis Island off the board for you. I'm gonna go 124 00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:46,680 Speaker 1: with Durell Revs from the Jets as my jet on 125 00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:53,360 Speaker 1: my roster. Now I've got two shut down corners and man, 126 00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:55,159 Speaker 1: we're we're not gonna make a much of tackles for lost. 127 00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:58,400 Speaker 1: You're not gonna use them on uh corner Blitzer so much. 128 00:06:58,440 --> 00:06:59,920 Speaker 1: But I don't care because I think my pass rush 129 00:06:59,960 --> 00:07:01,560 Speaker 1: is gonna be pretty hardly good with the guys I got. 130 00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:05,599 Speaker 1: So I'm taking Rivas Island off the board. John, Yeah, 131 00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:08,000 Speaker 1: your pass rush gonna be good, but you have that 132 00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:12,680 Speaker 1: you have arguably the two best man to man cover 133 00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:17,120 Speaker 1: guys that have ever played the game. I'm gonna at 134 00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:20,240 Speaker 1: a third later. But when Randy Moss went up against 135 00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:23,280 Speaker 1: Durell Rivas, Randy Moss embarrassed him. Well, we'll put We'll 136 00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:28,480 Speaker 1: put Sanders on him. He got options. Yeah, you don't 137 00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:32,720 Speaker 1: go from Durrell Revs To like buster screen, you go 138 00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:36,400 Speaker 1: from Darell Revs To Dion Sanders. All right, Drew, you 139 00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:40,960 Speaker 1: mentioned earlier there's some teams to consider as it pertains 140 00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:44,840 Speaker 1: to players that there aren't too many. The Jets. One 141 00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:49,000 Speaker 1: of them, Durrell Rivas find is absolutely phenomenal, and I 142 00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:50,800 Speaker 1: give you a lot of credit for that. That was 143 00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:54,520 Speaker 1: that was a great one. The Cardinals, to me, are 144 00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:59,120 Speaker 1: a team that kind of fits into the same category. Yeah, 145 00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:02,680 Speaker 1: but I'm not gonna take Larry Fitzgerald. Okay, I'm gonna 146 00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:04,080 Speaker 1: take a guy that probably not a lot of people 147 00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:06,040 Speaker 1: have heard about, but he was one of my idols 148 00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:09,480 Speaker 1: growing up in some sense because he once played a 149 00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:13,040 Speaker 1: game with two broken hands and actually had an interception 150 00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:18,520 Speaker 1: in that game. And he invented the safety blitz for 151 00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:21,880 Speaker 1: the Cardinals, and this was when they were in Saint Louis, 152 00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:25,800 Speaker 1: but it was the Cardinals. I am taking safety Larry Wilson. 153 00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:29,320 Speaker 1: Oh okay, good. I thought you were gonna say, my guy. 154 00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:33,719 Speaker 1: So that's that's good. Really, Yeah, I think it was 155 00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:35,960 Speaker 1: gonna be somebody else who played with two broken hands 156 00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:38,800 Speaker 1: in a game for the Cars. He might have. I 157 00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:40,680 Speaker 1: don't know that he did, but it wouldn't have surprised 158 00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:45,200 Speaker 1: me because he's he's an all timer. So all right, 159 00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:47,960 Speaker 1: I'm going with Larry Wilson, Hall of Fame safety for 160 00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:54,760 Speaker 1: the Saint Louis Arizona's Chicago Cardinals Larry Wilson. It won't 161 00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:58,559 Speaker 1: resonate too much with the younger folk, but he was 162 00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:04,720 Speaker 1: He was Troy Polamalu before Troy Polamalu. How about that. Yeah, 163 00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:08,720 Speaker 1: you could also gone with Dan Deardorf. Great, right, my 164 00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:10,959 Speaker 1: offensive line was already good. I thought about it. Yeah, 165 00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:13,480 Speaker 1: set yep. Or you could have gone with my guy 166 00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:16,640 Speaker 1: who played with the Cardinals in Chicago. But I'm gonna 167 00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:19,760 Speaker 1: talk about that later. So we'll go. We'll go down 168 00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:26,120 Speaker 1: that route in a bit um. All right, boy, you're 169 00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:32,040 Speaker 1: making it tough. I don't have any linebackers yet, m 170 00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:36,280 Speaker 1: and I have to have one of these two guys. 171 00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:45,480 Speaker 1: It's a non negotiable. But I'm gonna go with the 172 00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:48,040 Speaker 1: greatest raven ever. I'm gonna go with ray Lewis. It's 173 00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:51,200 Speaker 1: gonna leave you with lots of options. Two you have 174 00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:54,679 Speaker 1: two like lead pipe cinches you could take elsewhere. Even 175 00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:56,480 Speaker 1: though your offensive line is set. You got a guy 176 00:09:56,840 --> 00:09:59,239 Speaker 1: and then you got another guy. But I need a linebacker, 177 00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:03,280 Speaker 1: and I'm gonna go with ray Lewis. Okay, all right, 178 00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:11,319 Speaker 1: that does leave that does leave a lot open, to 179 00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:14,040 Speaker 1: say the least. I'm yeah, that's that's a good one, 180 00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:19,960 Speaker 1: all right. I My thought process the other day was 181 00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:22,960 Speaker 1: I wanted to as much as I possibly could go 182 00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:27,760 Speaker 1: with the younger franchises. And for a long time while 183 00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:30,160 Speaker 1: we were growing up, there weren't too many new franchise 184 00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:34,240 Speaker 1: until the Jaguars and the Panthers. Well, I got players 185 00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:35,839 Speaker 1: from both of them, and I got my Texans, So 186 00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:38,040 Speaker 1: I think I've got the youngest team. The next youngest 187 00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:40,720 Speaker 1: team actually came in a pair. You got one of those, 188 00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:44,440 Speaker 1: the Seahawks. The other is the Buccaneers. This is tough. 189 00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:50,080 Speaker 1: And when you mentioned linebacker, I jumped all over a guy. 190 00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:51,400 Speaker 1: This is the guy that I had the top of 191 00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:54,160 Speaker 1: my list for this team, because yes, there's a guy 192 00:10:54,559 --> 00:10:56,720 Speaker 1: that I could go with on the interior line. I 193 00:10:56,720 --> 00:10:58,760 Speaker 1: didn't wanted to actually two that you could have gone 194 00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:00,559 Speaker 1: with what the Bucks and you would have been okay. 195 00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:05,120 Speaker 1: But to me, I think one of the greatest and 196 00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:08,560 Speaker 1: most underrated linebackers of all time. I'm gonna take right here, 197 00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:14,280 Speaker 1: and that's Derek Brooks. Okay, nobody ran with Michael Vick, 198 00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:18,600 Speaker 1: but the Buccaneers beat vic all the time because Derek 199 00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:21,760 Speaker 1: Brooks could run with him. With the Buccaneers. I'm taking 200 00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:26,960 Speaker 1: Derek Brooks. He was one of my top picks and 201 00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:29,160 Speaker 1: I wanted to make sure that I that I got him. 202 00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:32,280 Speaker 1: So I'm jumping right here at Derek Brooks, linebacker. Put 203 00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:36,560 Speaker 1: it next to Keikley. We can fly to the football. 204 00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:43,199 Speaker 1: I'm taking Keikley and Brooks. All right, boy, Now it's 205 00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:47,600 Speaker 1: getting tough because we've eliminated a lot of these franchises. Yes, 206 00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:56,520 Speaker 1: m M goodness. This is where you stare at your 207 00:11:56,520 --> 00:11:58,680 Speaker 1: board and you're like, okay, I had a philosophy going in. 208 00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:02,719 Speaker 1: I'm gonna stick to my philosophy. What am I going with? 209 00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:08,079 Speaker 1: I gotta do it. He's he was my favorite player 210 00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:11,840 Speaker 1: when I was a little kid. And Jim Brown loves 211 00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:17,000 Speaker 1: this guy. And because of who you've chosen, I've got 212 00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:19,800 Speaker 1: lots of flexibility at the back part. But I want 213 00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:22,960 Speaker 1: to make sure that he's off the board. And I'm 214 00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:28,040 Speaker 1: choosing sweetness Walter Payton of the Bears. Uh. It came 215 00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:30,160 Speaker 1: down to him. It came down to it was either 216 00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:33,080 Speaker 1: him or Dick Butkiss. I had to have Ray Lewis 217 00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:37,079 Speaker 1: or Dick Butkiss. And I just I want to make 218 00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:39,199 Speaker 1: sure I got Walter Payton because he can do so 219 00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:43,560 Speaker 1: many different things. He's a great running back. He can 220 00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:48,400 Speaker 1: be your putter quarterback, wildcat quarterback. Yeah, yeah, I just 221 00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:50,120 Speaker 1: I love him too much, you know, I want to 222 00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:52,200 Speaker 1: make sure he's my guy. He's on my team. He 223 00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:55,000 Speaker 1: was the he was the all time NFL rushing leader. 224 00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:57,679 Speaker 1: He will always be. I have the two all time 225 00:12:57,720 --> 00:13:00,319 Speaker 1: NFL rushing leaders. Whatever, Emmett Smith. Who cares you're not 226 00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:06,079 Speaker 1: if you're not in their league? So yeah, all right, 227 00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:11,319 Speaker 1: that's wow, that's that's a good one. I'll I'll take 228 00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:13,480 Speaker 1: my cap down one because now you have Jim Brown 229 00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:18,000 Speaker 1: and Walter Payton in your backfield. That's uh, that's pretty solid. 230 00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:25,400 Speaker 1: There's no question about that. Okay. Um, you know you 231 00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:29,200 Speaker 1: took Ray Lewis, which leaves the Ravens for me. And 232 00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:31,319 Speaker 1: there's a lot different ways you could. I could go here. 233 00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:35,280 Speaker 1: Jonathan Ogden, I would I loved I was a huge 234 00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:38,160 Speaker 1: fan of Jonathan Ogden. But I've got my offensive line 235 00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:43,480 Speaker 1: right now. But Larry Wilson was a ball hawk, but 236 00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:45,200 Speaker 1: he was also a guy who could blitz. You can 237 00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:49,160 Speaker 1: play around the box. The best ball hawk there's a 238 00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:51,080 Speaker 1: guy I'm gonna just go ahead and do it. Now, 239 00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:54,280 Speaker 1: even though I could probably go a few other teams 240 00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:57,160 Speaker 1: if I looked at it, teams that we haven't selected from, 241 00:13:57,360 --> 00:14:01,559 Speaker 1: but I feel good at safety enough that I will 242 00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:06,840 Speaker 1: go with let me be clear, Ravens Hall of Famer 243 00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:08,960 Speaker 1: Ed Reid. It's a good choice. I like it. I 244 00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:11,520 Speaker 1: like it. Yeah, I take it. You've got Ed Reid. 245 00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:15,240 Speaker 1: And we've made four selections each today, so we're halfway 246 00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:19,560 Speaker 1: through this draft. Now it's getting really serious because we've 247 00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:22,400 Speaker 1: not neither of us has chosen a Bill, a Steeler, 248 00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:25,560 Speaker 1: a cult, a Bronco, a Charger, a Chief, a Redskin, 249 00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:29,440 Speaker 1: a Saint, or a forty nine er. Almost said a buccaneer, 250 00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:36,200 Speaker 1: but you took the buccantard. Yeah, um m hm mmmmmmm. 251 00:14:37,640 --> 00:14:40,920 Speaker 1: Who is someone that I must have that There's just 252 00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:43,960 Speaker 1: no way that this is tough, like right now. This 253 00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:46,120 Speaker 1: is because you've got so many options with the forty 254 00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:49,880 Speaker 1: nine ers, with the Steelers, and with the Redskins to 255 00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:52,360 Speaker 1: a degree, but especially the Steelers and the forty nine ers. 256 00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:59,400 Speaker 1: Yeah mmmmmmm. Oh, I know exactly where I'm going with 257 00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:03,200 Speaker 1: my next Yeah. Yeah, but it's your pick, so I 258 00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:08,680 Speaker 1: it's your pick, so I can't I can't do it. 259 00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:10,800 Speaker 1: But I know exactly where I'm gonna go. I could 260 00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:15,400 Speaker 1: put this card in a two seconds when you're done. Okay, 261 00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:27,960 Speaker 1: all right, I'll get my kicker Saints Morton Anderson. All right, Okay, 262 00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:29,840 Speaker 1: there are a lot of Hall of Fame players that 263 00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:33,640 Speaker 1: came out of the late eighties early nineties bills. I'm 264 00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:35,960 Speaker 1: gonna take the best one. I'm gonna take Bruce Smith, 265 00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:39,560 Speaker 1: impairing with J. J. Watton, Aaron Donald, damn good one 266 00:15:40,680 --> 00:15:42,440 Speaker 1: that takes Thurman Thomas off the board. I was a 267 00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:46,120 Speaker 1: huge Thurman fan, so real, So yeah, I take Bruce Smith. 268 00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:48,960 Speaker 1: So the bills come off the board, leaving me one 269 00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:50,960 Speaker 1: picking at the vision from the Jets. I'm gonna have 270 00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:53,520 Speaker 1: to do some studying on the Jets, man. I gotta 271 00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:57,360 Speaker 1: try and find somebody that, ah, that might be a 272 00:15:57,400 --> 00:15:59,360 Speaker 1: spot for a punter or a kicker. I don't know. 273 00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:05,400 Speaker 1: I'm not to think that went through. All right, we 274 00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:07,600 Speaker 1: got three picks left? Is that right? Three picks left? 275 00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:10,600 Speaker 1: In this episode? Here we go? All right, Steelers. Golly, 276 00:16:10,760 --> 00:16:14,440 Speaker 1: this is so hard for me. I go Rod Woodson 277 00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:18,360 Speaker 1: because I want a ballhawk. Oh yeah, but I got 278 00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:20,320 Speaker 1: a couple other guys that I'm putting the secondary that 279 00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:22,320 Speaker 1: I know of that you've already chosen from other teams. 280 00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:32,200 Speaker 1: So it comes down to getting the greatest center ever 281 00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:36,240 Speaker 1: Mike Webster or mean Joe Green. I gotta get after 282 00:16:36,280 --> 00:16:41,000 Speaker 1: the quarterback. I'm gonna mean Joe Green. Oh dang it. 283 00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:43,360 Speaker 1: I was hoping you're gonna talk to yourself in a 284 00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:47,200 Speaker 1: Mike Webster. Nope, I really wanted you to do that. 285 00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:56,760 Speaker 1: So you're up, all right, Well, I gotta find I 286 00:16:56,920 --> 00:17:04,159 Speaker 1: gotta find somebody that can cover. And even though there's 287 00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:08,040 Speaker 1: a long, rich history for the Washington football team, i'd 288 00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:10,119 Speaker 1: be kind of gone back and forth about what I 289 00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:13,919 Speaker 1: demand and I got on my offensive lineman and so 290 00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:16,960 Speaker 1: I'm like, ah oh. Then it hit me, oh man, 291 00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:20,960 Speaker 1: I'm going with the very last pick in the nineteen 292 00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:25,120 Speaker 1: eighty three first round, and he will be my lockdown corner. 293 00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:28,080 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with Daryl Green from the Washington football team, 294 00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:34,320 Speaker 1: solid from the great state of Texas. Yep, that is right. 295 00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:36,919 Speaker 1: I was struggling with what I was gonna do with Washington. 296 00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:39,960 Speaker 1: I had a few options, but I didn't love them. 297 00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:41,919 Speaker 1: And then I thought, man, I need some cover guys, 298 00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:43,560 Speaker 1: and I'm oh man, And then it hit me. So 299 00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:49,879 Speaker 1: I'll take Darryl green m so I know I can run. 300 00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:54,360 Speaker 1: That I can do and hopefully it will cover. But yeah, 301 00:17:54,359 --> 00:18:06,520 Speaker 1: I can run. Well. I love Joe Montana. Oh or 302 00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:08,919 Speaker 1: you going? Are you dipping into the quarterbacks? We have 303 00:18:09,119 --> 00:18:12,760 Speaker 1: not gone to the quarterbacks. I love Joe Montana, but 304 00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:20,840 Speaker 1: I gotta get Ronnie Lott off the stass. Oh that's huge. Yeah, 305 00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:29,560 Speaker 1: that is absolutely insanely massive. Okay, okay, so you that Yeah, 306 00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:34,080 Speaker 1: that's good. So you took forty nine ers Ronnie lot right, Yes, 307 00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:40,960 Speaker 1: I did. Well. That leaves that leaves some really good 308 00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:45,840 Speaker 1: forty nine ers on the board for me, and it 309 00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:48,800 Speaker 1: makes me think, do I want to add Jerry Rice 310 00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:55,840 Speaker 1: from the forty nine ers and put him with Randy Moss? Hell, yeah, 311 00:18:55,840 --> 00:18:58,480 Speaker 1: I'm gonna do that. I'm gonna do that.

I'll take 315 00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:13,040 Speaker 1: Grandy Moss Patriots, Jerry Rice forty nine ers. That's my selection. 316 00:19:13,119 --> 00:19:17,680 Speaker 1: There we go, all right, my final pick? Huh goodness, 317 00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:23,600 Speaker 1: gracious me O, my yep, last one.

M What do I want to 321 00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:35,800 Speaker 1: do here? What do I want to do here? I'm 322 00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:41,119 Speaker 1: gonna leave things open. They've all got aside from the Chargers. 323 00:19:41,119 --> 00:19:43,439 Speaker 1: I love Dan Folts, but he's not a quarterback that 324 00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:48,480 Speaker 1: you can really nah and trust this team too. And 325 00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:54,840 Speaker 1: I still am gonna wait on my quarterback, but you know, 326 00:19:54,880 --> 00:19:56,840 Speaker 1: I don't have a tight end yet. I'm gonna get 327 00:19:56,880 --> 00:19:59,280 Speaker 1: Travis Kelsey from the Chiefs. I'm just gonna go ahead 328 00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:04,000 Speaker 1: and over Tony Gonzalez, over Kellen Winslow. It's gonna go 329 00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:07,959 Speaker 1: ahead and do it over Oz Newsom. Why already took? Uh? 330 00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:11,520 Speaker 1: You have a brown brown? Yeah? So yeah, you're good? 331 00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:15,639 Speaker 1: All right? Kind of look at best available on my board. 332 00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:18,159 Speaker 1: So this is this is the mister irrelevant pick of 333 00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:21,600 Speaker 1: Day two U as I sort of look at this, 334 00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:26,640 Speaker 1: and I know when you hear this name come out 335 00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:30,199 Speaker 1: of my mouth, you're gonna go, uh wait, hold on. 336 00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:36,280 Speaker 1: But I don't want to draft the punter, and I 337 00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:40,760 Speaker 1: definitely don't want to draft a kicker, okay. And I'm 338 00:20:40,760 --> 00:20:44,800 Speaker 1: in the business a drafting former m vps in the league. Okay, 339 00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:48,359 Speaker 1: And you know how I like versatility, like guys that 340 00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:50,960 Speaker 1: can play a lot of for positions. Yeah. He won 341 00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:54,960 Speaker 1: the nineteen fifty six Heisman Trophy at Notre Dame playing quarterback. 342 00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:57,359 Speaker 1: He came to the league and played running back. He 343 00:20:57,440 --> 00:21:00,119 Speaker 1: was the MVP of the league in sixty two who 344 00:21:00,920 --> 00:21:05,640 Speaker 1: He also kicked extra points and fuel goals from the Packers. 345 00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:09,479 Speaker 1: I am taking Paul Horning because I know I can 346 00:21:09,520 --> 00:21:13,240 Speaker 1: do a lot different things with him. A Heisman Trophy 347 00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:16,199 Speaker 1: winner on a losing Notre Dame team, only one to 348 00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:18,280 Speaker 1: ever win from losing team, and he will own he 349 00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:20,359 Speaker 1: will be the only one to win from losing team. 350 00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:25,399 Speaker 1: But that satisfies both my kicking aspect. I can't have 351 00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:28,480 Speaker 1: him punt, but I don't have to draft the kicker now, 352 00:21:28,760 --> 00:21:31,720 Speaker 1: and so I can have Paul Horning kick. He catches, 353 00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:34,920 Speaker 1: he runs, you can even throw. He's my wildcat quarterback. 354 00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:39,720 Speaker 1: He's everything. I'm going Paul Horning as my packer. Good choice. Okay, 355 00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:43,239 Speaker 1: So to recap I started things off today. I went 356 00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:47,080 Speaker 1: with Geane Upshaw, left guard from the Raiders. You countered 357 00:21:47,119 --> 00:21:50,600 Speaker 1: with Randy Moss of the Patriots, so he took Moss 358 00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:53,440 Speaker 1: off the board. He also took a Patriot off the board, 359 00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:55,160 Speaker 1: and he opened it up for me to choose either 360 00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:58,240 Speaker 1: Brady Gronkowski, Hannah or a wild card, which I'm not 361 00:21:58,280 --> 00:22:02,399 Speaker 1: gonna do. Then I chose Darrell Reevas of the Jets 362 00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:07,560 Speaker 1: at corner. You went with Larry Wilson, the Cardinals safety. 363 00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:10,600 Speaker 1: Then I went with Ray Lewis, linebacker of the Ravens. 364 00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:13,199 Speaker 1: You went a linebacker. You went to the Buccaneers Derek Brooks, 365 00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:18,879 Speaker 1: probably the greatest buccaneer ever. He or Warren Sat Yeah. Uh, 366 00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:21,280 Speaker 1: Walter Payton. I had to have sweetness on my team. 367 00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:24,200 Speaker 1: I made an apology sport. You went with Ed Reid 368 00:22:24,240 --> 00:22:27,359 Speaker 1: of the Ravens safety. I got my kicker out of 369 00:22:27,359 --> 00:22:30,720 Speaker 1: the way with Morton Anderson from the Saints, and then 370 00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:33,560 Speaker 1: you went with Bruce Smith, which was an oversight I 371 00:22:33,560 --> 00:22:35,320 Speaker 1: should have gotten. That's why I should have gone with 372 00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:39,840 Speaker 1: That was kind of a dumb move by me. I rebounded, though, 373 00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:41,520 Speaker 1: I got me and Joe Green from the Steelers on 374 00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:46,080 Speaker 1: the interior of the defensive line. You went with Darryl 375 00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:49,199 Speaker 1: Green corner one of the fastest men ever from the 376 00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:53,960 Speaker 1: Washington football team. I chose a safety in Ronnie Lot 377 00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:58,320 Speaker 1: and that left Jerry Rice open. So the forty nine 378 00:22:58,359 --> 00:23:00,440 Speaker 1: ers are off the board. And then I happ things 379 00:23:00,520 --> 00:23:04,520 Speaker 1: up with it's probably controversial pick Travis Kelsey tight end 380 00:23:04,560 --> 00:23:06,119 Speaker 1: to the Chiefs. There's a lot of great Chiefs and 381 00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:08,320 Speaker 1: I'm picking that guy. Well, it's sort of what my 382 00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:10,720 Speaker 1: team needs, what I want. And then you went with 383 00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:13,160 Speaker 1: Paul Horning, the guy who could do it all from 384 00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:18,359 Speaker 1: the Packers. And that wrapped up Day two, and we 385 00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:22,440 Speaker 1: are gonna give you the finale all day tomorrow Wednesday night. 386 00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:25,680 Speaker 1: Good stuff on the finale and we'll break it all 387 00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:29,040 Speaker 1: down what we ended up with. I feel very very good, 388 00:23:29,119 --> 00:23:31,240 Speaker 1: in particular about my defensive line. But I love my 389 00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:34,480 Speaker 1: Paul Horning pick right there, so hopefully you do too. 390 00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:36,880 Speaker 1: Maybe not, Maybe don't even know Paul Horning is and 391 00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:38,800 Speaker 1: that I got to live with, but I know who 392 00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:40,600 Speaker 1: he is and he was fantastic.

John, 413 00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:49,320 Speaker 1: So much has changed obviously with you heading into year two, 414 00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:54,000 Speaker 1: so new coaching staff, a new position, knew everything, so 415 00:24:54,400 --> 00:24:57,280 Speaker 1: Let's let's just start there. Let's start with everything being 416 00:24:57,320 --> 00:24:59,280 Speaker 1: so new, because you talked about it a little bit 417 00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:02,720 Speaker 1: in your press last year versus this year. What were 418 00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:05,320 Speaker 1: you doing this time last year? How are you compared 419 00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:08,280 Speaker 1: to what you're doing now? Man, it's crazy. I was 420 00:25:08,320 --> 00:25:09,840 Speaker 1: still trying to figure out where I could work out 421 00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:12,600 Speaker 1: it honestly, you know, as you know, COVID just changed everything, 422 00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:14,119 Speaker 1: so we kind of had to just go with the 423 00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:16,640 Speaker 1: flow and do what it was allowed for us. So 424 00:25:17,080 --> 00:25:18,640 Speaker 1: I was still trying to find my ways to work 425 00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:20,760 Speaker 1: but overall not just feel a huge difference is now 426 00:25:20,840 --> 00:25:22,239 Speaker 1: having a chance to work out all the way from 427 00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:26,200 Speaker 1: January now my body feels more comfortable, feel stronger, feel faster, 428 00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:28,720 Speaker 1: just feel more better, overall flexible, just feel better as 429 00:25:28,720 --> 00:25:31,080 Speaker 1: an athlete and as a person mentally as well. So 430 00:25:31,400 --> 00:25:33,399 Speaker 1: everything just worked out now and everything's kind of slowly 431 00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:34,800 Speaker 1: going back to normal. So now I can get back 432 00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:37,200 Speaker 1: into my regular routine of having a certain amount of workout, 433 00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:39,600 Speaker 1: certain amount of meals per day, getting trained and work 434 00:25:39,680 --> 00:25:41,280 Speaker 1: done on me stuff like that. So all of that 435 00:25:41,359 --> 00:25:43,359 Speaker 1: just helps him makes it be ready for when that 436 00:25:43,359 --> 00:25:46,000 Speaker 1: time comes in late July. Yeah, you get to do 437 00:25:46,040 --> 00:25:48,240 Speaker 1: OTAs out there in the Houston humidity, in the Houston 438 00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:51,560 Speaker 1: teak get your off season program. Man, what about meeting 439 00:25:51,640 --> 00:25:54,239 Speaker 1: Lovey Smith, because now you've actually got to work with him, 440 00:25:54,280 --> 00:25:55,720 Speaker 1: you've got to work with the new coaching staff a 441 00:25:55,760 --> 00:25:58,919 Speaker 1: little bit. Your impressions of him and what it's been 442 00:25:58,960 --> 00:26:02,320 Speaker 1: like for you switching to new position at defensive linemen. Yeah, 443 00:26:02,320 --> 00:26:03,720 Speaker 1: it's huge. I mean, like I said, love is what 444 00:26:03,840 --> 00:26:06,080 Speaker 1: respect around the game of football. Um, not just an 445 00:26:06,080 --> 00:26:09,000 Speaker 1: infil but everywhere. So he has been honor. I watched 446 00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:10,520 Speaker 1: him growing up as a child. So now they're able 447 00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:12,520 Speaker 1: to play in this scheme and I know what they've 448 00:26:12,520 --> 00:26:15,520 Speaker 1: been about. Even back in that historic defense Chicago, UM, 449 00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:17,480 Speaker 1: there were no for turnovers. So now we've just got 450 00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:19,160 Speaker 1: to get to that point. I think that's the huge 451 00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:21,240 Speaker 1: emphasis now on our defense. You know, just change the 452 00:26:21,320 --> 00:26:22,800 Speaker 1: mindset and not only wanted to play, but get the 453 00:26:22,800 --> 00:26:25,080 Speaker 1: ball back. I mean, that's that's huge. We can change it. 454 00:26:25,119 --> 00:26:26,399 Speaker 1: We can change a lot one on our side of 455 00:26:26,400 --> 00:26:28,760 Speaker 1: the football by just making a turnover giving enough ball 456 00:26:28,800 --> 00:26:31,920 Speaker 1: back to offense. So overall, I'm excited. Like I said, 457 00:26:31,960 --> 00:26:34,119 Speaker 1: it's a huge honor. I'm looking forward to learning a 458 00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:36,400 Speaker 1: lot more getting deeper in the playbook and understanding how 459 00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:37,920 Speaker 1: he thinks. Want to break his mind down to see 460 00:26:37,920 --> 00:26:40,840 Speaker 1: how he thinks about football to help me. So overall, 461 00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:43,600 Speaker 1: I'm excited. I love it. Well. You had said that 462 00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:45,320 Speaker 1: one thing that you wanted to work on this offseason 463 00:26:45,359 --> 00:26:49,080 Speaker 1: with your flexibility literally being flexible and then also positionwise, 464 00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:51,480 Speaker 1: and and I thought it was interesting because Lovey talked 465 00:26:51,520 --> 00:26:53,680 Speaker 1: about guys that had to make the position change. He said, 466 00:26:53,760 --> 00:26:56,000 Speaker 1: football players are adaptable, they have to adapt, they have 467 00:26:56,040 --> 00:26:58,680 Speaker 1: to be flexible. And he said that for a lot 468 00:26:58,680 --> 00:27:02,240 Speaker 1: of players, making that change sometimes actually benefits their skill set. 469 00:27:02,240 --> 00:27:03,879 Speaker 1: And you were one of the guys that he mentioned 470 00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:07,280 Speaker 1: by name that your skill set is really it's pretty 471 00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:10,000 Speaker 1: perfect for the defensive end in his four three system. 472 00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:12,240 Speaker 1: So what are your thoughts on that? What makes you 473 00:27:12,280 --> 00:27:14,000 Speaker 1: fit so well in a system? I know you've played 474 00:27:14,040 --> 00:27:15,880 Speaker 1: defensive end in the past. This isn't like a new 475 00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:17,800 Speaker 1: position for you, But but what do you think it 476 00:27:17,920 --> 00:27:20,399 Speaker 1: is about about your skill set that really lends itself 477 00:27:20,440 --> 00:27:22,440 Speaker 1: to this position. I just kind of work around what 478 00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:24,359 Speaker 1: I feel good at when my body feels like it 479 00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:26,560 Speaker 1: can do to put myself in the best situation. Obviously, 480 00:27:26,560 --> 00:27:27,879 Speaker 1: I got to get a lot stronger, you got to 481 00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:31,640 Speaker 1: get faster always, so it's always room from improvement. But overall, 482 00:27:31,680 --> 00:27:33,679 Speaker 1: like I said, this defensive end is it's not too 483 00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:36,159 Speaker 1: much of a difference obviously, just to change it up 484 00:27:36,160 --> 00:27:38,400 Speaker 1: a little bit. Is going from that three fourth scheme 485 00:27:38,440 --> 00:27:40,080 Speaker 1: where I'm playing most time on tight ends and I'm 486 00:27:40,160 --> 00:27:43,280 Speaker 1: dropping the coverage most times, It's not It's not the 487 00:27:43,320 --> 00:27:45,560 Speaker 1: case here. Now I'm playing a true defensive vel Now 488 00:27:45,560 --> 00:27:47,400 Speaker 1: I have to go play on their side of the football. 489 00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:48,800 Speaker 1: Set the edge, you know, gonna make a play in 490 00:27:48,800 --> 00:27:50,879 Speaker 1: the back for getting TfL, go get sacked, get quarterback. 491 00:27:51,160 --> 00:27:52,760 Speaker 1: This thing is I'm more comfortable. I love to just 492 00:27:52,800 --> 00:27:55,320 Speaker 1: go after the quarterback. But overall, I said, I just 493 00:27:55,480 --> 00:27:57,720 Speaker 1: I'm excited to get get started. I mean getting deeper 494 00:27:57,720 --> 00:27:59,400 Speaker 1: in this playbook. And we got a lot of competition 495 00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:01,680 Speaker 1: on here coming from camp, so I'm excited. Yeah, you'll 496 00:28:01,680 --> 00:28:03,560 Speaker 1: be going up against a lot of offensive linements. So 497 00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:06,040 Speaker 1: does that mean that at your position you have to 498 00:28:06,080 --> 00:28:08,080 Speaker 1: put on weight or will you be playing a little 499 00:28:08,080 --> 00:28:10,840 Speaker 1: bit lighter? Is that something that you have to to 500 00:28:10,880 --> 00:28:13,159 Speaker 1: think about. That's the things, Uh, it kind of just 501 00:28:13,240 --> 00:28:14,679 Speaker 1: going based off of what your body is. I mean, 502 00:28:14,720 --> 00:28:17,080 Speaker 1: I'm naturally me. I'm already about a two seventy. If 503 00:28:17,240 --> 00:28:19,159 Speaker 1: already I can be at two sixty five, I can 504 00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:20,760 Speaker 1: drop way, I can gain weight. That's kind of i 505 00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:22,679 Speaker 1: thing I've been able to do all my life, just 506 00:28:22,760 --> 00:28:24,920 Speaker 1: my weight. But overall, yeah, you're right, I'll be playing 507 00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:28,000 Speaker 1: more down, handing the dirt, playing against the top tackles 508 00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:29,600 Speaker 1: and things like that. But at the end of theay's 509 00:28:29,600 --> 00:28:32,160 Speaker 1: still football and the skin that we play last year. 510 00:28:32,440 --> 00:28:35,480 Speaker 1: Obviously in the three fourth scheme period, overall, it's a 511 00:28:35,480 --> 00:28:37,960 Speaker 1: little different. However, it's football and you're set on the 512 00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:39,880 Speaker 1: line of scrimmage, and most guys will kind of tell 513 00:28:39,920 --> 00:28:41,560 Speaker 1: you coming from a three to four outside backer to 514 00:28:41,680 --> 00:28:43,880 Speaker 1: the end, it's it's everything because now you have less 515 00:28:43,880 --> 00:28:46,719 Speaker 1: coverage responsibility. You really just gotta just go and make 516 00:28:46,760 --> 00:28:48,920 Speaker 1: a play and play on a run. Obviously, they can 517 00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:50,840 Speaker 1: switch it up a little bit for scheme to scheme, 518 00:28:50,920 --> 00:28:52,960 Speaker 1: but overall, now you're a true defensive end and go 519 00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:55,400 Speaker 1: do what you do, what you're normally naturally to do. 520 00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:57,360 Speaker 1: Do you think it makes it easier that you made 521 00:28:57,360 --> 00:29:00,320 Speaker 1: the switch earlier in your career rather than playing a 522 00:29:00,360 --> 00:29:02,400 Speaker 1: linebacker for a number of years and then making the stench. 523 00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:03,959 Speaker 1: Do you think that makes it any easier because it 524 00:29:03,960 --> 00:29:07,440 Speaker 1: really wasn't that long ago that you were playing defensive lineman, right, Yeah, 525 00:29:07,720 --> 00:29:11,720 Speaker 1: it's it's kind of like I said, it's cool. Um, However, 526 00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:13,560 Speaker 1: I kind of adjust as you see. I mean, I 527 00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:16,200 Speaker 1: really just you tell me to scheme, me, tell me 528 00:29:16,240 --> 00:29:17,640 Speaker 1: to play, and I can go with it from there. 529 00:29:17,680 --> 00:29:19,240 Speaker 1: So at this point, I just honestly just want to 530 00:29:19,240 --> 00:29:22,400 Speaker 1: be able to be comfortable, just play my own play 531 00:29:22,440 --> 00:29:25,200 Speaker 1: my own scheme within the system, obviously, but just be comfortable. 532 00:29:25,200 --> 00:29:27,000 Speaker 1: And then I think playing defensive man all my life, 533 00:29:27,040 --> 00:29:29,400 Speaker 1: that kind of has made it to where I can 534 00:29:29,720 --> 00:29:33,479 Speaker 1: I'm back in my natural, natural habitatic to say. All right, 535 00:29:33,480 --> 00:29:35,520 Speaker 1: so a lot of things changed in the offseason. One 536 00:29:35,560 --> 00:29:38,080 Speaker 1: thing that didn't change your position. Coach is still Bobby King, 537 00:29:38,200 --> 00:29:41,400 Speaker 1: So he moves from linebackers coach to defensive line coach. 538 00:29:41,440 --> 00:29:43,479 Speaker 1: He seems really excited about it. But how much has 539 00:29:43,520 --> 00:29:45,760 Speaker 1: that helped your continuity? He sort of knows what you 540 00:29:45,800 --> 00:29:48,520 Speaker 1: can do, knows what you do well, knows what where 541 00:29:48,560 --> 00:29:50,000 Speaker 1: you need to learn and where to fill in the 542 00:29:50,080 --> 00:29:52,800 Speaker 1: gaps of your still set. Yeah, b K is I mean, 543 00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:54,959 Speaker 1: like I said, Beka is huge on details. I mean, 544 00:29:55,040 --> 00:29:57,200 Speaker 1: he's he's very passionate, but he loves a game of football. 545 00:29:57,200 --> 00:29:59,240 Speaker 1: You can see that from miles away just watching him 546 00:29:59,240 --> 00:30:01,040 Speaker 1: coach us up. Um, he wants to be the best 547 00:30:01,080 --> 00:30:02,920 Speaker 1: type of not just the best play, but the best person, 548 00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:05,040 Speaker 1: best human being. And I think that kind of translated 549 00:30:05,080 --> 00:30:07,000 Speaker 1: the game as far as your passion towards anything. If 550 00:30:07,040 --> 00:30:08,880 Speaker 1: you're gonna do something, to do it give you all. 551 00:30:08,920 --> 00:30:10,640 Speaker 1: And I think that's what he preaches us on everything. 552 00:30:10,720 --> 00:30:12,760 Speaker 1: So um, yeah, me and b K we go away bad. 553 00:30:12,800 --> 00:30:15,200 Speaker 1: That's that's that's a that's a good guy. Um. Actually 554 00:30:15,280 --> 00:30:17,480 Speaker 1: his cousin was actually our punner at Louisville, so we 555 00:30:17,760 --> 00:30:19,600 Speaker 1: kind of we got a lot of history. So me 556 00:30:19,640 --> 00:30:22,120 Speaker 1: and seeing me really good. So BK is a good guy. Well, 557 00:30:22,160 --> 00:30:24,000 Speaker 1: he he had a lot of nice things to say 558 00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:26,760 Speaker 1: about you as well. He said he's expecting a good season, 559 00:30:26,800 --> 00:30:29,200 Speaker 1: a really good season from you. That you're a no 560 00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:32,360 Speaker 1: nonsense kind of a guy. You're not a follower, you're 561 00:30:32,360 --> 00:30:34,680 Speaker 1: a leader. And he said he's gonna use his hands, 562 00:30:34,720 --> 00:30:37,760 Speaker 1: he's gonna shock you. He's gonna play tough, play violent. 563 00:30:37,880 --> 00:30:40,640 Speaker 1: So is that how you would describe your style of play. 564 00:30:40,960 --> 00:30:42,840 Speaker 1: Hey man, I let the tape do the talk. I 565 00:30:42,840 --> 00:30:45,560 Speaker 1: can't really do too much right now, but before Yeah, 566 00:30:45,600 --> 00:30:47,160 Speaker 1: that's that's kind of like all I want to lead into. 567 00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:49,440 Speaker 1: I mean, that's that's the identity you kind of want 568 00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:52,440 Speaker 1: being in this scheme. So, yeah, he gave me that title. 569 00:30:52,440 --> 00:30:53,800 Speaker 1: I'll take it. So I just gotta put it on 570 00:30:53,800 --> 00:30:55,880 Speaker 1: the film now for sure. I'm ready. All right. So 571 00:30:56,320 --> 00:30:58,200 Speaker 1: when you look back at your rookie season and what 572 00:30:58,360 --> 00:31:00,120 Speaker 1: was your biggest takeaway? What was the biggest left and 573 00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:01,960 Speaker 1: you learn because now you've got some games under your belt, 574 00:31:01,960 --> 00:31:03,520 Speaker 1: you're heading into year two, you've got a little bit 575 00:31:03,560 --> 00:31:06,040 Speaker 1: of experience, what's the biggest lesson you take from that. 576 00:31:06,560 --> 00:31:10,000 Speaker 1: I just gotta take everything in a stride. Things happen, 577 00:31:10,200 --> 00:31:12,920 Speaker 1: everything has y'all. See, everything's happening, and there's some things 578 00:31:12,920 --> 00:31:14,680 Speaker 1: you can't control it. You just have to go with 579 00:31:14,760 --> 00:31:17,200 Speaker 1: it and adjust on the fly. Another thing is just 580 00:31:17,200 --> 00:31:18,920 Speaker 1: to continue to work, do the same things that you've 581 00:31:18,920 --> 00:31:20,720 Speaker 1: been doing the whole time, and let that let that 582 00:31:20,800 --> 00:31:22,920 Speaker 1: result speak for itself, don't. You don't have to put 583 00:31:22,960 --> 00:31:25,360 Speaker 1: any expectations on anything. Just go with it. I mean, 584 00:31:25,400 --> 00:31:27,680 Speaker 1: you obviously have your goal in your mission, but overall, 585 00:31:27,720 --> 00:31:29,680 Speaker 1: you just gotta go out and play it and keep 586 00:31:29,720 --> 00:31:32,040 Speaker 1: living because I mean, the things that you can't control 587 00:31:32,240 --> 00:31:34,240 Speaker 1: always going to happen, so you just gotta just take 588 00:31:34,280 --> 00:31:35,720 Speaker 1: it on the fly and keep going. So that's what 589 00:31:35,760 --> 00:31:38,040 Speaker 1: I learned the most. All Right, you don't have to 590 00:31:38,040 --> 00:31:40,640 Speaker 1: look for a jim, but you do have about six 591 00:31:40,720 --> 00:31:43,080 Speaker 1: weeks or so offul for the start of training camp. 592 00:31:43,640 --> 00:31:45,280 Speaker 1: I know you said you're not gonna take it too easy, 593 00:31:45,280 --> 00:31:46,680 Speaker 1: You're gonna take a little bit of time off, But 594 00:31:46,840 --> 00:31:49,240 Speaker 1: what are your plans to say in shape for training camp? 595 00:31:49,320 --> 00:31:51,120 Speaker 1: To get ready for training camp? How do you plan 596 00:31:51,200 --> 00:31:53,360 Speaker 1: to use these next few weeks. Like I said, just 597 00:31:53,400 --> 00:31:55,600 Speaker 1: get back to the workout regiment. I'm getting my routine 598 00:31:55,680 --> 00:31:57,480 Speaker 1: every day, take a little time off, give your body 599 00:31:57,480 --> 00:31:58,720 Speaker 1: a break a little bit, but it's it's got to 600 00:31:58,760 --> 00:32:00,600 Speaker 1: get back onto it. Of course, to be in Houston 601 00:32:00,600 --> 00:32:03,080 Speaker 1: as much as possible, I'm gonna get used to this humidity, 602 00:32:03,160 --> 00:32:05,480 Speaker 1: this is heat. Having that year under my belt definitely helped. 603 00:32:05,680 --> 00:32:07,479 Speaker 1: Having that year in Kynesville kind of help. But at 604 00:32:07,480 --> 00:32:09,240 Speaker 1: the end of the day, it's still you kind of 605 00:32:09,240 --> 00:32:12,160 Speaker 1: never get used to it. But overall, you understand how 606 00:32:12,160 --> 00:32:14,040 Speaker 1: to how to cope with and put that to the side. 607 00:32:14,040 --> 00:32:16,760 Speaker 1: It's all mental. So overall, I'm still gonna try to 608 00:32:16,880 --> 00:32:19,840 Speaker 1: keep my regiment as routine as possible. So is it 609 00:32:19,920 --> 00:32:23,200 Speaker 1: worse than Florida humidity? The Houston humidity, that's tough. I 610 00:32:23,240 --> 00:32:24,960 Speaker 1: don't know. Games real humidity is different. You know. We 611 00:32:25,040 --> 00:32:27,400 Speaker 1: surrounded by that swamp. It's it's yeah, that's honest to 612 00:32:27,440 --> 00:32:29,000 Speaker 1: all that heat is coming from. So I can honestly 613 00:32:29,000 --> 00:32:31,600 Speaker 1: truly say the humidity and heat wise over there is 614 00:32:31,640 --> 00:32:34,160 Speaker 1: definitely I'm not gonna say definitely way hotter, but it's 615 00:32:34,160 --> 00:32:36,840 Speaker 1: definitely hot over there. Yeah, I think you had some 616 00:32:36,880 --> 00:32:40,800 Speaker 1: good training, but you're about to just tune in. We're 617 00:32:40,800 --> 00:32:43,560 Speaker 1: gonna be all right, all right. Always a pleasure, John, 618 00:32:43,560 --> 00:32:45,719 Speaker 1: can't wait to see what twenty twenty one brings for you. 619 00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:48,040 Speaker 1: Thanks so much, Thank you so much for having to 620 00:32:48,120 --> 00:32:50,040 Speaker 1: have a good one. I've told the story before about 621 00:32:50,080 --> 00:32:51,840 Speaker 1: John Gunnar, but you haven't heard it. Well, it's new 622 00:32:51,880 --> 00:32:56,400 Speaker 1: to you. I watched a segment that he did on 623 00:32:56,440 --> 00:32:58,240 Speaker 1: the SEC Network, and I believe he did it a 624 00:32:58,360 --> 00:33:00,600 Speaker 1: job one of the stench combs, Matt John, I can't 625 00:33:00,640 --> 00:33:04,040 Speaker 1: remember which and those guys are offensive lineman and John 626 00:33:04,040 --> 00:33:06,920 Speaker 1: Grenard obviously is an edge rusher. And they talked about 627 00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:09,200 Speaker 1: pass rushing for about seven eight minutes, and it was 628 00:33:10,200 --> 00:33:12,880 Speaker 1: it was incredible to listen to a guy in college 629 00:33:12,920 --> 00:33:15,840 Speaker 1: talk about pass rushing the way that John Grenard did, 630 00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:20,280 Speaker 1: just applying sort of his art to the science, or 631 00:33:20,360 --> 00:33:23,040 Speaker 1: his science to the art if you will. It was fascinating, 632 00:33:23,280 --> 00:33:26,400 Speaker 1: really really good stuff. And it really shows when John 633 00:33:26,440 --> 00:33:28,360 Speaker 1: Grenard's rushing the passer, and there were times when he 634 00:33:28,400 --> 00:33:30,640 Speaker 1: had confidence last year. You could see it. I think 635 00:33:30,720 --> 00:33:32,680 Speaker 1: that confidence is going to be there. I think playing 636 00:33:32,720 --> 00:33:34,520 Speaker 1: his hand down is gonna be great. I have an 637 00:33:34,560 --> 00:33:37,000 Speaker 1: article in Houston Texas dot com about he and Charles 638 00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:39,760 Speaker 1: a man who get into the quarterback and how that 639 00:33:39,840 --> 00:33:42,680 Speaker 1: looks and what it could look like. So go check 640 00:33:42,720 --> 00:33:45,560 Speaker 1: that out Houston Texans dot Com. A guy that's gonna 641 00:33:45,560 --> 00:33:46,880 Speaker 1: have a big year also is a guy in his 642 00:33:46,920 --> 00:33:50,040 Speaker 1: second year with the Texans, and that is David Johnson. 643 00:33:50,200 --> 00:33:54,760 Speaker 1: Drew Doherty did a little dozen questions with David Johnson's 644 00:33:54,720 --> 00:33:57,200 Speaker 1: a lot of illiteration there, but just no DJ thirty 645 00:33:57,240 --> 00:33:59,080 Speaker 1: one coming up next right here in Texans All Access, 646 00:34:00,600 --> 00:34:02,960 Speaker 1: we gonna wa fas segment this Tuesday edition Texas All 647 00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:07,880 Speaker 1: Access from the Unday Texans Radio studio and sensor on 648 00:34:08,360 --> 00:34:13,520 Speaker 1: in air quotes vacation. It's the mobile version. And who 649 00:34:13,600 --> 00:34:18,280 Speaker 1: knows where I am doing this show right about now? 650 00:34:18,760 --> 00:34:24,759 Speaker 1: My guess is that I am somewhere in Arizona. Somewhere. Yeah, 651 00:34:24,760 --> 00:34:27,759 Speaker 1: I'll let you figure that one out, but Arizona. It 652 00:34:27,880 --> 00:34:32,120 Speaker 1: is fitting because our next guest spent the majority of 653 00:34:32,160 --> 00:34:34,360 Speaker 1: his career, in fact, every year of his career up 654 00:34:34,440 --> 00:34:37,440 Speaker 1: until last year with the Arizona Cardinals. He played his 655 00:34:37,520 --> 00:34:40,399 Speaker 1: college ball at in northern Iowa, which I can't say 656 00:34:40,440 --> 00:34:43,400 Speaker 1: I've been to Iowa in quite some time, but I'm sitting, 657 00:34:43,440 --> 00:34:47,560 Speaker 1: i think, right now in Arizona as we speak. So 658 00:34:47,719 --> 00:34:52,200 Speaker 1: let's hear a little from David Johnson, who got roped 659 00:34:52,200 --> 00:34:56,640 Speaker 1: into doing a little Drew's Dozen Rudority take it away. 660 00:34:56,680 --> 00:34:58,360 Speaker 1: You know, back when you signed, you met with the 661 00:34:58,440 --> 00:35:02,239 Speaker 1: media in that initial press conference and you said something 662 00:35:02,239 --> 00:35:04,120 Speaker 1: that really made my ear my ears prick up. You 663 00:35:04,160 --> 00:35:06,840 Speaker 1: talked about a dodgeball story from when you were thinking 664 00:35:06,960 --> 00:35:10,320 Speaker 1: junior high back in Iowa. Can you kind of expand 665 00:35:10,360 --> 00:35:12,160 Speaker 1: on that and tell us what that was because I 666 00:35:12,200 --> 00:35:15,359 Speaker 1: love dodgeball, playing dodgeball growing up. I love the movie 667 00:35:15,400 --> 00:35:17,400 Speaker 1: and every I mean, what's the story behind dodgeball? And 668 00:35:17,520 --> 00:35:20,239 Speaker 1: you David, so everyone I always asked me, you know 669 00:35:20,280 --> 00:35:23,600 Speaker 1: how I became so good at catching the football? And 670 00:35:23,719 --> 00:35:26,560 Speaker 1: what I try to tell him is that starting in 671 00:35:26,920 --> 00:35:29,040 Speaker 1: fifth grade, we had a dodgeball league that we did 672 00:35:29,120 --> 00:35:33,240 Speaker 1: every Friday that our science teacher from middle school, miss Waite, 673 00:35:33,320 --> 00:35:35,960 Speaker 1: had did every Friday. And what we did is, you know, 674 00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:37,799 Speaker 1: we went to the y m c A. And it 675 00:35:37,840 --> 00:35:40,799 Speaker 1: was about I don't know, forty boys and girls just 676 00:35:40,840 --> 00:35:44,960 Speaker 1: playing dodgeball. And then it started getting very huge, very popular, 677 00:35:45,200 --> 00:35:48,759 Speaker 1: where we started traveling around Iowa doing tournaments and it 678 00:35:48,800 --> 00:35:51,480 Speaker 1: was a good time just to have fun with people 679 00:35:51,480 --> 00:35:53,880 Speaker 1: around our age. And it was a teacher that was 680 00:35:53,960 --> 00:35:57,000 Speaker 1: running it, so she was, you know, making sure everything 681 00:35:57,160 --> 00:36:02,320 Speaker 1: was going well, no fights like that. And her thing was, though, 682 00:36:02,480 --> 00:36:05,000 Speaker 1: if you get hit in the head, it's it's doggeball, 683 00:36:05,040 --> 00:36:06,719 Speaker 1: so you will get hit the hit. So I don't 684 00:36:06,760 --> 00:36:08,360 Speaker 1: want to hear anyone crying. I don't want to hear 685 00:36:08,400 --> 00:36:12,440 Speaker 1: anyone fighting and complaining because this is dodgeball. And she 686 00:36:12,680 --> 00:36:15,719 Speaker 1: was really good at making sure everyone was tough and 687 00:36:15,800 --> 00:36:18,359 Speaker 1: that you know, if you get hit in the head, yeah, 688 00:36:18,480 --> 00:36:22,719 Speaker 1: so big, it's it was fun. It was a good thing, 689 00:36:22,880 --> 00:36:26,560 Speaker 1: good competition that you know. I started doing it. I 690 00:36:26,640 --> 00:36:29,160 Speaker 1: mean I think I did all the way through probably 691 00:36:29,280 --> 00:36:32,200 Speaker 1: ninth grade, and it was a good time. God blessed 692 00:36:32,239 --> 00:36:34,480 Speaker 1: that woman. She's got to be the only educator in 693 00:36:34,560 --> 00:36:37,400 Speaker 1: existence that didn't call you out if you got hit 694 00:36:37,480 --> 00:36:39,560 Speaker 1: in the head. What sort of rule is that you 695 00:36:39,600 --> 00:36:41,279 Speaker 1: can't be thrown out if you get hit in the head. 696 00:36:41,280 --> 00:36:43,840 Speaker 1: That means you you've made a good throw, right exactly, 697 00:36:43,960 --> 00:36:47,000 Speaker 1: especially when someone's dodging people duck. You know, it's part 698 00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:49,560 Speaker 1: of the game. You know, don't cry about it. Were 699 00:36:49,560 --> 00:36:51,320 Speaker 1: getting hit in the head. You just play on to 700 00:36:51,400 --> 00:36:53,720 Speaker 1: the next place. Now we know your hands were great, 701 00:36:54,120 --> 00:36:56,160 Speaker 1: but could you smoke some people when you threw the ball? 702 00:36:56,520 --> 00:36:58,560 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I was good. I was always the guy 703 00:36:58,600 --> 00:37:01,319 Speaker 1: that people wanted to be on their team. And I 704 00:37:01,360 --> 00:37:02,799 Speaker 1: was always a guy who I don't know why, but 705 00:37:02,800 --> 00:37:04,600 Speaker 1: I always ended up being one of the last guys. 706 00:37:04,960 --> 00:37:06,879 Speaker 1: And and just you know, we have the same thing 707 00:37:06,880 --> 00:37:09,239 Speaker 1: as if you catch the ball, another teammates to come 708 00:37:09,239 --> 00:37:12,000 Speaker 1: back in. And so we had some great competitive games 709 00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:14,439 Speaker 1: going on, that's awesome. So I take it you've seen 710 00:37:14,480 --> 00:37:18,120 Speaker 1: the movie Dodgeball a few times, right, most definitely? Which 711 00:37:18,360 --> 00:37:21,200 Speaker 1: Dodgeball character from that movie do you identify with most? 712 00:37:22,560 --> 00:37:25,319 Speaker 1: That's a good question. I would say, uh, I don't 713 00:37:25,360 --> 00:37:28,719 Speaker 1: remember the names, though, I would say I don't know. 714 00:37:28,840 --> 00:37:30,920 Speaker 1: I would have to look and see what the names are. 715 00:37:31,160 --> 00:37:34,000 Speaker 1: Not the pirate guy, right, and not definitely, not the fire, 716 00:37:34,160 --> 00:37:37,919 Speaker 1: not the bench, not patches, Ohulahan, that was a weird 717 00:37:38,160 --> 00:37:42,640 Speaker 1: no good stuff. Okay, Well this might be a pretty 718 00:37:42,680 --> 00:37:46,440 Speaker 1: obvious question. But you start, you bench and you cut 719 00:37:46,480 --> 00:37:49,480 Speaker 1: these three games? Which of them get started? Which of 720 00:37:49,480 --> 00:37:51,920 Speaker 1: them do you bench? And which them do you cut? Dodgeball, 721 00:37:52,239 --> 00:37:56,440 Speaker 1: Hide and Go Seek and Kickball? Oh, come on, I 722 00:37:56,480 --> 00:38:00,520 Speaker 1: would say cut Kickball. I would say start Dodgeball and 723 00:38:00,719 --> 00:38:03,160 Speaker 1: dash and see bench, hid and go Seek? Okay, for 724 00:38:03,440 --> 00:38:05,880 Speaker 1: pod and go Seek makes the cut good stuff? All right? 725 00:38:05,960 --> 00:38:10,480 Speaker 1: Do you play any musical instruments? No? No, I did 726 00:38:10,880 --> 00:38:13,200 Speaker 1: like one year and Ellen mintr. I played the Jones, 727 00:38:13,280 --> 00:38:15,920 Speaker 1: but then the last two long? Is there any musical 728 00:38:15,960 --> 00:38:17,640 Speaker 1: instrument like you wish you could just pick up and 729 00:38:18,239 --> 00:38:21,399 Speaker 1: like rattle it off and do it well, guitar, for sure, 730 00:38:21,560 --> 00:38:23,680 Speaker 1: I would love to I always play a guitar hero 731 00:38:24,000 --> 00:38:27,040 Speaker 1: on the PlayStation, but that's not the same. I've talked 732 00:38:27,040 --> 00:38:30,520 Speaker 1: to people that played the guitar. It's not even close. Yeayeah, 733 00:38:30,680 --> 00:38:32,839 Speaker 1: they they they're smart about making it look easy because 734 00:38:32,840 --> 00:38:35,399 Speaker 1: it's I guess it's not easy. Let's rank.
