WEBVTT - Training Camp Takeaways for EVERY AFC Team 0:00:04.920 --> 0:00:08.480 Welcome to NFL Daily, where it doesn't take much for 0:00:08.600 --> 0:00:10.879 us to get back on the Travis Hunter hype train. 0:00:10.920 --> 0:00:14.520 I'm Greg Rosenthal. I never jumped off. Yeah, I'm there 0:00:14.560 --> 0:00:16.480 for life. Here for life. 0:00:16.600 --> 0:00:18.720 Chris Westling's podcast studio. 0:00:19.920 --> 0:00:24.040 It includes Patrick Claybon. On this fine Monday, I'm Drean Camp. 0:00:24.079 --> 0:00:24.639 What's happening? 0:00:24.880 --> 0:00:28.600 Not much? Just like you, Greg, I never left. Yeah. 0:00:28.760 --> 0:00:33.199 I think people are amazed at this idea that this 0:00:33.280 --> 0:00:35.040 twenty two year old would turn twenty three and he 0:00:35.040 --> 0:00:36.600 would add body mouse. 0:00:37.080 --> 0:00:39.040 But yeah, this is all a part of the plan. 0:00:39.159 --> 0:00:42.199 This is how things progress and grow, and I'm excited 0:00:42.240 --> 0:00:44.760 to see first team All Pro cornerback Travis Hunter. 0:00:44.960 --> 0:00:49.720 Let's go with like six hundred yards and five touchdowns, 0:00:49.760 --> 0:00:53.159 but about eleven jaw dropping plays at wide receiver. How 0:00:53.159 --> 0:00:54.080 about that as a season? 0:00:54.320 --> 0:00:57.560 Yeah, I mean that's icing. I don't even know if 0:00:57.560 --> 0:00:58.800 that's icing. It's decoration. 0:00:58.880 --> 0:01:02.880 Oh I think. But the cake is thero cornerback. Okay, 0:01:02.960 --> 0:01:05.920 that's fair, let's just get into it. We taped the 0:01:05.959 --> 0:01:10.119 show Sunday evening. Thank you to everyone who checked that out. 0:01:10.360 --> 0:01:15.640 That show went through the NFC teams and what's happened 0:01:15.680 --> 0:01:18.800 at their training camp practices so far, so some notes, 0:01:19.200 --> 0:01:22.400 some takeaways on all the NFC teams. We're doing the work, 0:01:22.440 --> 0:01:25.280 we're digging through all the reporting, we're watching the press 0:01:25.280 --> 0:01:28.280 conferences to get you up to date. Today is the 0:01:28.440 --> 0:01:32.240 AFC and yes, we were live on Sunday night, and 0:01:32.280 --> 0:01:35.360 you can join us live on Thursday night to do 0:01:35.440 --> 0:01:39.400 some camp recaps and Hall of Fame game recap after 0:01:39.440 --> 0:01:42.800 that ends around eight pm Eastern. Let's start with those Jaguars. 0:01:42.840 --> 0:01:47.440 Why not Travis Hunter through the first four to five 0:01:47.520 --> 0:01:50.600 days of training camp and as we're taping Monday, for 0:01:50.800 --> 0:01:52.960 most teams in the NFL, it is the first day 0:01:53.000 --> 0:01:55.000 that pads have come on, so that's a big day. 0:01:55.040 --> 0:01:58.000 Although writers everyone gets excited the real football starts, including 0:01:58.000 --> 0:02:01.480 in Jacksonville, but over the weekend and the pads weren't 0:02:01.480 --> 0:02:05.200 on yet. But he had what John Shipley, our friend 0:02:05.280 --> 0:02:07.400 at SI dot com who gets me up to date 0:02:07.440 --> 0:02:09.160 on Jaguar just read his stuff and I feel like 0:02:09.200 --> 0:02:12.239 I'm there, said it was Travis Hunter's best day as 0:02:12.280 --> 0:02:16.480 a pro on the field. Not only two long catches 0:02:16.720 --> 0:02:19.400 on offense and one that they had on video that 0:02:19.600 --> 0:02:22.600 highlight grab where he just leaps up, but also a 0:02:22.639 --> 0:02:27.160 really exciting interception of Trevor Lawrence where we're not a 0:02:27.160 --> 0:02:30.359 great idea by Lawrence into coverage a lot of defenders there, 0:02:30.400 --> 0:02:33.280 but a beautiful play where Travis Hunter steps in front 0:02:33.320 --> 0:02:35.600 of the ball. And so so far through you know, 0:02:35.639 --> 0:02:39.320 four or five days of camp, he's playing more defense 0:02:39.520 --> 0:02:42.160 than offense. But I would say a significant amount of 0:02:42.160 --> 0:02:45.079 offense each day. I even, you know, people are keeping 0:02:45.120 --> 0:02:47.680 track of the snaps, it's probably about sixty five seventy 0:02:48.040 --> 0:02:52.919 percent defense thirty thirty five percent offense. And so really 0:02:52.919 --> 0:02:55.440 cool to see those highlights. If you're watching us on YouTube, 0:02:55.600 --> 0:03:00.359 appreciate that. Subscribe, Like, let's listen to Travis Hunter talk 0:03:00.440 --> 0:03:05.520 to our friend Judy Batista as part of Back Together Weekend, 0:03:05.639 --> 0:03:08.800 talking about that weight you mentioned earlier in your mind, 0:03:08.800 --> 0:03:09.760 how many snaps a game? 0:03:09.800 --> 0:03:15.400 Do you want to be playing all the odd so you're. 0:03:15.200 --> 0:03:17.240 Gonna go nuts when you're out of the game and 0:03:17.400 --> 0:03:17.880 just watching. 0:03:18.160 --> 0:03:20.720 Yeah, I can't just watch the game, that is Judy, 0:03:20.760 --> 0:03:22.720 And yeah, he just wants to play as much as 0:03:22.800 --> 0:03:26.160 humanly possible. And yeah, earlier in the interview he mentioned 0:03:26.160 --> 0:03:28.200 the ten pounds of weight, and yet he seems to 0:03:28.240 --> 0:03:30.920 be moving even faster, Like you can even see it 0:03:31.919 --> 0:03:34.240 watching him last year. I mean, he he's a young kid, 0:03:34.360 --> 0:03:37.000 you know, and he's growing into his body, and I'm 0:03:37.040 --> 0:03:37.440 all in. 0:03:37.440 --> 0:03:42.080 Yeah, it's very, very difficult to put on mass as 0:03:42.200 --> 0:03:45.440 your Travis Hunter doing what he did in college. Like 0:03:45.520 --> 0:03:50.800 it's exceedingly difficult to to take the time to eat enough, uh, 0:03:50.840 --> 0:03:52.200 and then to do all of the things that he 0:03:52.240 --> 0:03:52.640 was doing. 0:03:52.560 --> 0:03:54.360 Plus like one hundred and twenty steps a game. You 0:03:54.360 --> 0:03:55.520 got to lose some weight down that. 0:03:55.680 --> 0:03:58.320 Well, and so like to get to this process that 0:03:58.360 --> 0:04:01.560 to have the injury not getting a made Travis Hunter 0:04:01.600 --> 0:04:04.840 better in no capacity. I will never ever say that, 0:04:04.920 --> 0:04:07.240 but you could see the dedication that he takes in. 0:04:07.160 --> 0:04:08.040 Devotion to training. 0:04:08.400 --> 0:04:11.840 And I'm again, I don't know how much more emphatic 0:04:11.880 --> 0:04:14.360 I could be about like my hopes for Travis Hunter. 0:04:14.520 --> 0:04:16.960 I just hope that, you know, he's able to stay 0:04:17.160 --> 0:04:19.800 out there on the field and you know, sometimes going 0:04:19.880 --> 0:04:22.840 up for those fifty to fifty balls makes me a 0:04:22.880 --> 0:04:23.560 little worried about. 0:04:23.600 --> 0:04:26.479 And he caught about three of them on different sides 0:04:26.480 --> 0:04:30.239 of the ball on Saturday, so that's really cool. I 0:04:30.360 --> 0:04:32.720 like also that because of the roster construction, they needed 0:04:32.800 --> 0:04:35.760 more on defense. I think he's cornerback one for that 0:04:35.880 --> 0:04:40.880 team in the end and at wide receiver. Parker Washington, 0:04:41.000 --> 0:04:44.240 you know, according to Shipley has probably been wide receiver 0:04:44.279 --> 0:04:47.360 one just in terms of volume, and Jacoby Myers has 0:04:47.400 --> 0:04:49.640 had a few drops and like off just slow start. 0:04:49.640 --> 0:04:52.520 I'm not worried about Jacoby Myers. Brian Thomas is doing 0:04:52.600 --> 0:04:56.120 Brian Thomas things. Hunter is going to be sprinkled in 0:04:56.600 --> 0:04:59.320 a little more. What do you think of Parker Washington 0:04:59.600 --> 0:05:02.880 and this offense being back like with so much depth. 0:05:02.960 --> 0:05:04.960 You got Breton Strain, Now you've got a second round 0:05:05.160 --> 0:05:07.560 tight end. You have layers to this offense. 0:05:07.640 --> 0:05:09.040 Yeah, it's very exciting. 0:05:09.800 --> 0:05:13.359 You want to see how you know, in terms of 0:05:13.400 --> 0:05:15.720 basal Tuton he's going to fill in for each hand, 0:05:16.560 --> 0:05:19.760 but with Parker Washington number one thing, and you know, 0:05:19.760 --> 0:05:21.719 shout out to Parker Washington. He joined us on the inside. 0:05:21.760 --> 0:05:24.680 He's a great guest. Asked him potentially because he's going 0:05:24.720 --> 0:05:28.359 to be unrestricted for your agent next year. I'd be 0:05:28.360 --> 0:05:31.240 interested if to see if Gladstone is willing and the 0:05:31.360 --> 0:05:33.880 Jags and Liam Coleman are willing to just put something 0:05:33.880 --> 0:05:36.960 out there to go ahead and have Parker Washington here 0:05:37.160 --> 0:05:39.600 long term because it does for you up to have 0:05:39.640 --> 0:05:44.119 Travis Hunter play cornerback and not have all these reps 0:05:44.120 --> 0:05:47.120 a wide receiver, and it seems like the money might 0:05:47.160 --> 0:05:48.880 be there and it may not because it's going to 0:05:48.920 --> 0:05:50.080 be crazy at the end of the year. Parker was 0:05:50.360 --> 0:05:52.760 right season that he has it's going to be nuts. 0:05:52.839 --> 0:05:55.640 He's going to be you know, chief or something. Who knows. 0:05:55.880 --> 0:05:58.880 He was drafted in the sixth round and teams are 0:05:58.920 --> 0:06:01.200 always trying to get discounts those late round picks, Like 0:06:01.440 --> 0:06:03.200 he's not going to sign one of those Jalen Koker 0:06:03.240 --> 0:06:07.040 tape contracts. At this point, he's gonna get paid. You mentioned, 0:06:07.920 --> 0:06:12.000 you know, the rest of the offense, Basil Tuton. He 0:06:12.160 --> 0:06:14.200 was declared like a big winner of the first week camp, 0:06:14.240 --> 0:06:17.400 partly just because Chris Rodriguez hasn't been out there as much. 0:06:17.440 --> 0:06:20.159 He's the other competition at running back, but he was 0:06:20.240 --> 0:06:22.880 back in team drills. As we head into a new week, 0:06:22.880 --> 0:06:24.920 they appear to maybe have a new starter at guard. 0:06:25.000 --> 0:06:27.160 They paid Patrick McCary a lot of money last year, 0:06:27.440 --> 0:06:30.279 but there's a young man, Wyatt Millam is taking the 0:06:30.320 --> 0:06:32.480 first team reps. Well, mccary's getting over an injury and 0:06:32.520 --> 0:06:36.200 he just might stay there. Two rookies that were taking 0:06:36.279 --> 0:06:39.520 late in the draft, Josh Cameron and CJ. Williams, are 0:06:39.560 --> 0:06:41.880 reportedly playing really well and look like they're gonna make 0:06:41.920 --> 0:06:43.720 the roster. That's sort of what I was getting. What 0:06:43.880 --> 0:06:45.880 is really deep does make you wonder a little bit 0:06:45.920 --> 0:06:48.359 about if you were going to trade Brian Thomas junior 0:06:48.400 --> 0:06:50.680 at some point like next year. That sort of depth 0:06:50.720 --> 0:06:54.040 would make that easier to make happen. And then their 0:06:54.120 --> 0:06:56.279 left tackle Cole Van Landon just wanted to mention he 0:06:56.360 --> 0:06:59.120 was on the pup list. If you listen to Sunday Show, 0:06:59.320 --> 0:07:02.480 you might have remembered Ben Johnson getting a little spicy 0:07:02.880 --> 0:07:06.240 about how the Bears were regression candidates. Didn't exactly say 0:07:06.240 --> 0:07:08.640 to Liam Cohen, keep my name out your mouth when 0:07:08.640 --> 0:07:11.480 he started talking about Caleb Williams all over NFL dot com. 0:07:11.480 --> 0:07:15.000 But here is that clip from Leam Cohen talking about 0:07:15.080 --> 0:07:17.600 NFL dot com dot com and the great work that 0:07:17.680 --> 0:07:18.800 our friends are doing over there. 0:07:18.800 --> 0:07:19.200 You're right. 0:07:19.240 --> 0:07:20.520 You know what I said to the staff the other 0:07:20.600 --> 0:07:22.960 day was I go, guys, is the best part of 0:07:23.480 --> 0:07:26.600 coaching the Jacksonville Jaguars. You don't have to make up 0:07:27.360 --> 0:07:30.360 telling your players stuff. You don't have to make up 0:07:30.400 --> 0:07:32.560 the fire. You don't have to make it up. It's 0:07:32.600 --> 0:07:35.160 given to us every day, and it's like a well, 0:07:35.360 --> 0:07:38.680 it's a gift from the heavens, from you know. 0:07:38.680 --> 0:07:39.400 You just scroll. 0:07:39.480 --> 0:07:42.280 I just go pull off my phone, look at the 0:07:42.400 --> 0:07:48.320 NFL Network website and just pop up here and surious. 0:07:48.440 --> 0:07:53.680 If I see any photos or anything about the Jacksonville Jaguars, 0:07:53.720 --> 0:07:56.160 I think I'll just scroll right on through. I think 0:07:56.200 --> 0:07:59.720 I'll see forty pictures of Caleb Williams and I won't 0:07:59.720 --> 0:08:03.760 see single thing about any of our players on here. 0:08:04.440 --> 0:08:07.480 It's so it's beautiful because like jack guys. 0:08:07.280 --> 0:08:09.440 This is great. Thanks keeps on giving. 0:08:09.400 --> 0:08:11.080 You gonna tell all these guys how much you all 0:08:11.120 --> 0:08:11.800 think they suck. 0:08:12.440 --> 0:08:16.560 WHOA courtesy of ten ten XL, great radio station that 0:08:16.600 --> 0:08:21.200 employs my old friend Mike Dempsey. Wow, thoughts you were 0:08:21.240 --> 0:08:22.240 animated watching that? 0:08:22.480 --> 0:08:22.680 Yeah? 0:08:22.840 --> 0:08:26.960 No, it's it's fun because I love it that it's 0:08:27.400 --> 0:08:31.920 kind of not kind of directly I run because the 0:08:32.000 --> 0:08:34.560 Jacksonville Jaguars are fun and interesting team to talk about 0:08:34.760 --> 0:08:37.000 that I feel like that we do all the time. 0:08:37.000 --> 0:08:39.200 And I guess that's that's not everybody. And you know, 0:08:39.240 --> 0:08:41.400 Liam Cohen is very busy. He has a football team 0:08:41.440 --> 0:08:44.720 to coach, so he may not be as a tune. 0:08:45.360 --> 0:08:49.920 But there's the first, second, third, twenty ninth, twenty eighth. 0:08:50.040 --> 0:08:53.080 I mean, I'm on NFL dot com, which the search feature, yeah, 0:08:53.240 --> 0:08:56.600 can be very limited, but I'm I'm back. I'm all 0:08:56.600 --> 0:09:00.760 the way through June twenty third. Okay, I don't see 0:09:01.000 --> 0:09:02.840 a day where there wasn't some form of Jackson. 0:09:02.880 --> 0:09:05.320 I don't see a lot of Jags though. And to 0:09:05.400 --> 0:09:08.319 his point, there are a couple of Bears articles in 0:09:08.360 --> 0:09:12.680 the stack right now, you know, talking about Luther Burden 0:09:12.840 --> 0:09:15.840 and whatnot. We do have a team preview with Jaguars, 0:09:15.880 --> 0:09:18.679 you're right. Lower down, we have browns covered. We have 0:09:18.720 --> 0:09:20.880 some charge. 0:09:21.800 --> 0:09:25.600 I just like that, like Harvest to perceive slight. They 0:09:25.600 --> 0:09:27.760 are able to on any stretch. And Liam Cohen is 0:09:27.880 --> 0:09:28.720 very gifted at that. 0:09:28.880 --> 0:09:31.199 And here's the thing. I don't think he's pretending. 0:09:31.320 --> 0:09:34.040 He genuinely seems annoyed all the time about the lack 0:09:34.240 --> 0:09:36.280 like he I don't know, it's funny. I just like 0:09:36.400 --> 0:09:38.720 this this long running bit that he has that no 0:09:38.760 --> 0:09:42.040 one pays anything Jaguars. He's not totally wrong for such 0:09:42.040 --> 0:09:44.680 a promising young team who won that many games last year. 0:09:44.760 --> 0:09:47.360 They're relatively under the raidar, But who cares about who's 0:09:47.440 --> 0:09:48.040 under the raider? 0:09:48.240 --> 0:09:50.679 Yeah, And I think the people in the community who 0:09:50.720 --> 0:09:53.520 see their their team shipped off all the time they 0:09:53.559 --> 0:09:55.520 lose a home game, they feel a little bit slighter. 0:09:55.559 --> 0:09:57.959 They live in the largest land mass city in the 0:09:58.080 --> 0:10:02.000 United States of America and routinely get disregarded for areas 0:10:02.040 --> 0:10:04.480 that don't necessarily have the size or maybe even the 0:10:04.520 --> 0:10:06.719 cultural impact that Jacklville can have, which I think gets 0:10:06.720 --> 0:10:09.679 slept on for him to capture that feeling that a 0:10:09.679 --> 0:10:11.600 lot of people in that community have who are kind 0:10:11.640 --> 0:10:13.959 of you, especially by the Jacksonville Sheriff's office, kind of 0:10:13.960 --> 0:10:14.760 downtrodden upon. 0:10:15.320 --> 0:10:17.120 They can feel that way. 0:10:17.200 --> 0:10:20.840 I don't necessarily know that the jackson and there you 0:10:20.880 --> 0:10:23.320 know that we have disregarded. 0:10:22.800 --> 0:10:26.160 Them, not here on NFL Daily certainly. In fact, we 0:10:26.320 --> 0:10:29.040 just spent ten minutes talking about the Jaguars and we're 0:10:29.080 --> 0:10:32.400 hitting fifteen. We're hitting all sixteen teams. I can promise 0:10:32.440 --> 0:10:36.320 you Jaguars fans, you got talked about more. And Liam, 0:10:36.400 --> 0:10:38.480 I hope you see this. We had you on NFL Daily. 0:10:38.480 --> 0:10:41.400 He was a great guest. No, you will be talked 0:10:41.440 --> 0:10:45.040 about more on this particular episode, which includes every AFC 0:10:45.080 --> 0:10:46.840 team more than any other team. We're not going that 0:10:46.880 --> 0:10:49.560 long in any NFEA. So there you go. Let's stay 0:10:49.600 --> 0:10:56.320 in the AFC South. The Texans. The Texans signed Genevian Clowney. 0:10:56.520 --> 0:10:59.439 I mentioned it briefly Sunday night, but we you know, 0:10:59.520 --> 0:11:02.920 we were talking NFC five point five million. It's up 0:11:02.960 --> 0:11:07.040 to eight million. Weirdly assigning. I think they kind of needed. 0:11:07.080 --> 0:11:09.240 There was a huge drop. I know that sounds crazy 0:11:09.240 --> 0:11:11.400 when they have the best edge rusher duo in the 0:11:11.520 --> 0:11:15.040 entire NFL and Willie Anderson and Daniel Hunter, but the 0:11:15.040 --> 0:11:17.079 fall off was crazy. They didn't they didn't have much 0:11:17.160 --> 0:11:19.520 depth there and now you got Clowney coming off like 0:11:19.559 --> 0:11:22.640 an eight and a half tax season. Returning to where 0:11:23.120 --> 0:11:28.080 it all started, Patrick, the location of the first Texans 0:11:28.800 --> 0:11:32.440 playoff victory in franchise history that I was at in 0:11:32.480 --> 0:11:36.800 which no question about it. The MVP of that game 0:11:36.880 --> 0:11:39.640 by far was Jadevian Clowney, which is why one of 0:11:39.679 --> 0:11:41.400 many reasons why. And he also was like a second 0:11:41.400 --> 0:11:43.200 team All Pro one year. Like people kind of sleeped 0:11:43.200 --> 0:11:45.520 that he was very good for the Texans. It was 0:11:45.520 --> 0:11:47.760 a good number one overall draftick. Very cool to see 0:11:47.800 --> 0:11:48.720 him back with that team. 0:11:48.840 --> 0:11:51.000 Yeah, and to the extent where I wondered if there 0:11:51.040 --> 0:11:53.559 was any overlap between him and Dimico when Dimiko was playing, 0:11:53.880 --> 0:11:55.720 but there was a three year gap because he had 0:11:55.800 --> 0:11:58.439 left the Texans in twenty eleven and Clowney was drafted 0:11:59.160 --> 0:12:02.560 in twenty fourteen. But obviously, you know, was a tuned 0:12:02.600 --> 0:12:04.679 to the franchise during his time in Philly and then 0:12:04.679 --> 0:12:09.199 his post playing coaching career, where one of the superpowers 0:12:09.240 --> 0:12:11.760 of Jadevion Clowney was being able to kick inside and 0:12:11.800 --> 0:12:16.040 not necessarily have any amount of like significant falloff when 0:12:16.800 --> 0:12:20.360 being behaving as an interior rusher. And so the prospect 0:12:20.400 --> 0:12:23.200 of not just having him come in in relief of 0:12:23.320 --> 0:12:25.600 Hunter or Anderson, but to have all three of them 0:12:25.640 --> 0:12:29.080 on the field. And again this isn't twenty sixteen Jadeveon Clowney, 0:12:29.320 --> 0:12:31.760 but for four or five reps late in the game 0:12:32.040 --> 0:12:33.400 when you're trying to throw the ball. 0:12:33.320 --> 0:12:35.559 Yikes, I mean, he's a third best pass rusher. Was 0:12:35.600 --> 0:12:39.040 still very productive the last few years. Never left Houston, 0:12:39.080 --> 0:12:41.320 by the way, kept his home there throughout, like a 0:12:41.320 --> 0:12:44.280 lot of players, players left Houston. They love living in Houston. 0:12:44.320 --> 0:12:46.559 And you've remarked several times about how you like this, 0:12:47.280 --> 0:12:49.520 like late Stage revs. 0:12:50.280 --> 0:12:53.920 Yes is Late Career by Jadevion Clowney. 0:12:53.720 --> 0:12:55.280 Where people say, oh, well, first of all, he had 0:12:55.280 --> 0:12:57.160 a couple, he had like a microfractor surgery, had all 0:12:57.200 --> 0:12:59.679 sorts of you know, physical problems. People said, you know, oh, 0:12:59.720 --> 0:13:02.400 he love the game or whatever. I mean, he's still 0:13:02.440 --> 0:13:05.680 loving that game thirteen years in. What a team might 0:13:05.720 --> 0:13:08.800 have to pick them to make the Super Bowl. They 0:13:08.840 --> 0:13:13.120 have a first round guard in Kayln Rutledge. Is that 0:13:13.200 --> 0:13:14.439 the first day of training camp there was like a 0:13:14.520 --> 0:13:18.280 highlight of him like blocking twenty yards downfield. Seth Payne, 0:13:18.280 --> 0:13:22.240 who I listened to some of his YouTube content, has 0:13:22.360 --> 0:13:25.439 noted the run game probably has stood out more than 0:13:25.559 --> 0:13:28.080 anything that the run game looks a little more cohesive. 0:13:28.080 --> 0:13:30.719 They're a little deeper on the offensive line, maybe understanding 0:13:30.760 --> 0:13:34.120 what to do. David Montgomery reportedly looking pretty good in 0:13:34.160 --> 0:13:36.160 pass pro and in the receiving game. And it's him 0:13:36.160 --> 0:13:39.120 and Woody Marks one A, one B. You have Jayden 0:13:39.160 --> 0:13:41.880 Higgins getting a lot of buzz potentially making a leap. 0:13:41.920 --> 0:13:44.960 Tank Dell is out there ramping up, not doing everything 0:13:45.040 --> 0:13:47.440 all the time, and we'll see if he's in there 0:13:47.440 --> 0:13:50.120 with pads but doing teamwork like he's not that limited. 0:13:50.320 --> 0:13:53.040 Jalen Noel, their second year receiver, has been out for 0:13:53.120 --> 0:13:55.480 a few weeks. And then you throw in a this 0:13:55.559 --> 0:13:57.920 rookie Marlin Klein, who the coaches are talking up just 0:13:58.000 --> 0:13:59.760 in terms of guy that he moves different than the 0:13:59.760 --> 0:14:02.640 rest of our tight ends. Little shot there at Dalton Schultz, 0:14:02.640 --> 0:14:05.600 but yeah, add it all up and it's it's potential 0:14:05.640 --> 0:14:07.400 for a more dynamic Texans offense. 0:14:07.520 --> 0:14:09.560 Yeah, and I think back because it was a two 0:14:09.600 --> 0:14:12.920 stage surgery for Tank Dell because he had the LCL, 0:14:13.040 --> 0:14:16.520 the meniscus, the MCL. He had that surgery and then 0:14:16.640 --> 0:14:18.720 did rehab on that, then he finished it off with 0:14:18.760 --> 0:14:21.040 the ACL surgery. So that's why you go twenty twenty 0:14:21.040 --> 0:14:24.560 four to now where you know, hopefully get him back 0:14:24.600 --> 0:14:28.200 out there and healthy and give C. J. Stroud another 0:14:28.680 --> 0:14:30.640 player that he feels comfortable with, the like Dalton Schultz 0:14:30.680 --> 0:14:31.880 is a part of that. I don't know why Dalton 0:14:31.880 --> 0:14:34.720 Schultz is catching sneak dishes, sneak. 0:14:34.560 --> 0:14:36.320 Not at all. He was a great guest too. I 0:14:36.360 --> 0:14:39.200 really liked it. I felt really bad. I've never talked 0:14:39.200 --> 0:14:41.240 to a player that had taken a playoff loss harder 0:14:41.280 --> 0:14:43.960 that where the loss was like two or three weeks old. 0:14:44.160 --> 0:14:46.720 And it's a real thing. And I think, I know 0:14:47.600 --> 0:14:51.680 you're not necessarily always fully buying in on chipwatch, but 0:14:51.680 --> 0:14:53.600 how about a team wide chip here. You know this 0:14:53.720 --> 0:14:55.000 is a team that's knocking on the door. 0:14:55.080 --> 0:14:58.120 Well, I think that they are a team that's uniquely 0:14:58.160 --> 0:15:01.720 aware of where things went wrong and it gives them 0:15:01.720 --> 0:15:04.360 that capacity to directly address those things because they have 0:15:04.440 --> 0:15:07.080 the talent. Right, there's a whole lot of people that 0:15:07.120 --> 0:15:09.880 could be very well aware, right how things went wrong 0:15:09.920 --> 0:15:12.280 when they don't necessarily have the ability to overcome that 0:15:12.840 --> 0:15:13.520 the Texans do. 0:15:14.600 --> 0:15:17.280 And it's just it's going to take this. You know. 0:15:17.840 --> 0:15:20.480 The way that we talk about the Bengals defense is 0:15:20.560 --> 0:15:22.840 kind of how I feel about the Texans offense, where 0:15:22.840 --> 0:15:25.280 it's like, man, they just need to be somewhat all right. 0:15:25.360 --> 0:15:27.800 I think this group can be better than someone al right. 0:15:28.000 --> 0:15:30.200 Because they have a better than average quarterback. In my mind, 0:15:30.320 --> 0:15:33.440 and again, our guy Seth Pain, we're two members of 0:15:33.480 --> 0:15:37.000 the Seth Heads, said CJ just looking more comfortable in 0:15:37.040 --> 0:15:40.240 this second year in the system. Thought his accuracy, which 0:15:40.280 --> 0:15:43.920 his calling card just weirdly wasn't there last training camp 0:15:43.920 --> 0:15:45.120 and for a lot of last year was just like 0:15:45.160 --> 0:15:47.160 a little up and down in that it's been better. 0:15:47.680 --> 0:15:51.000 Good news too, is Derek Stingley is fine after a 0:15:51.040 --> 0:15:54.520 collision that didn't look great, which made me so happy 0:15:54.560 --> 0:15:57.720 because nothing worse than that happening in practice, but especially 0:15:57.720 --> 0:15:59.760 made me happy because the guy who ran into him 0:15:59.760 --> 0:16:03.360 and didn't look great was the same guy Dared Wayne 0:16:03.400 --> 0:16:05.840 who ran into Tank Dell in that game that injured him. 0:16:05.840 --> 0:16:07.320 So glad to hear everyone is healthy. 0:16:07.360 --> 0:16:07.440 There. 0:16:07.520 --> 0:16:10.640 Let's go to the Titans. I'm into omens. We've got 0:16:10.640 --> 0:16:14.680 some other first play analysis in this program. The first 0:16:14.720 --> 0:16:19.120 two plays of Titans training camp fall start terrible, terrible, 0:16:19.120 --> 0:16:23.720 Omen what four and thirteen? You can't have fall starts here? 0:16:23.920 --> 0:16:25.320 Your first two plays of camp? 0:16:26.160 --> 0:16:29.320 I just that's it. Give me two separate players. You've 0:16:29.480 --> 0:16:31.120 you know, every grouping gets a certain part of me. 0:16:31.280 --> 0:16:33.160 I get it. But that's why it's an omen. It's 0:16:33.360 --> 0:16:38.520 it's not necessarily logical. But that sounds that sounds bad 0:16:38.560 --> 0:16:40.640 to me. You know what sounds better is Will love 0:16:40.720 --> 0:16:44.400 US's confidence, who was at the podium saying there aren't 0:16:44.520 --> 0:16:47.080 thirty two better quarterbacks than me. Just a reminder, Will 0:16:47.120 --> 0:16:50.480 love Is still on this roster. He's going to be 0:16:50.480 --> 0:16:53.880 battling with Mitchell Trubisky for the backup job at Trubisky's 0:16:53.920 --> 0:17:00.000 been injured. The practice reports from Paul Koharski, for instance, 0:17:00.080 --> 0:17:02.880 and indicate he doesn't think Will Levis has looked any 0:17:02.880 --> 0:17:05.800 better than he did in the past, still making the 0:17:05.840 --> 0:17:09.280 same mistake. So Levis confident, but has had a kind 0:17:09.320 --> 0:17:11.520 of star cross career. If people don't remember the second 0:17:11.600 --> 0:17:13.760 round pick who started a lot of games that second year. 0:17:13.960 --> 0:17:16.439 Yeah, I mean save throwing the ball off his helmet 0:17:16.440 --> 0:17:19.240 backwards six times in practice. I think it's going to 0:17:19.280 --> 0:17:23.240 be difficult to see a whether it's growth or regression 0:17:23.240 --> 0:17:25.879 for Will will Levis in a situation like that, clearly 0:17:25.960 --> 0:17:26.800 a player. 0:17:26.560 --> 0:17:28.119 That has the talent to be out there on the field. 0:17:29.000 --> 0:17:31.240 But I would be interested, you know, if we want 0:17:31.240 --> 0:17:36.120 to play the five quarterbacks that you know are worse 0:17:36.200 --> 0:17:39.320 than Will Levis, it's. 0:17:38.840 --> 0:17:40.800 Yeah, he's not in the top thirty two. I did 0:17:40.840 --> 0:17:44.479 a top thirty two, and for that list, I had 0:17:44.520 --> 0:17:48.240 about a top forty and who players I would comfortably 0:17:48.280 --> 0:17:50.480 put ahead of Levis, And yeah, he was not on 0:17:50.480 --> 0:17:55.639 that list. I didn't realize our crack producer, Eric Roberts 0:17:55.720 --> 0:17:58.200 just killing it. He's doing the video, he's doing the sound, 0:17:58.240 --> 0:18:00.919 actually has this Lewis sound. I didn't even realize that. 0:18:01.160 --> 0:18:02.800 So let's let's just listen to it. Why not. 0:18:02.920 --> 0:18:04.960 I don't need to go out there and win X 0:18:05.000 --> 0:18:07.119 amount of games before I can feel the confidence, like 0:18:07.200 --> 0:18:09.280 I have the confidence right now if I know I've 0:18:09.280 --> 0:18:11.000 put the tape out there already that I'm a you know, 0:18:11.680 --> 0:18:14.600 dang good quarterback in this league and I'm even better 0:18:14.640 --> 0:18:15.359 than I ever have been. 0:18:15.480 --> 0:18:19.280 So still the faith that you have a future as 0:18:19.280 --> 0:18:19.560 a start. 0:18:21.640 --> 0:18:24.000 I know I'm you know, I think I'm there. There 0:18:24.000 --> 0:18:25.760 are not thirty two quarterbacks in this leap better than me. 0:18:25.800 --> 0:18:28.800 I know that for sure. Shout out to context. 0:18:29.160 --> 0:18:31.800 I feel completely different about the quote because Eric has 0:18:31.840 --> 0:18:35.200 provided us with the context where he's being hounded by 0:18:35.200 --> 0:18:36.960 the folks there in Nashville who are great at their jobs, 0:18:37.200 --> 0:18:39.200 where it's like, hey, hey, do you hate yourself? 0:18:39.600 --> 0:18:42.640 How hard is it to sleep knowing that you are asked. 0:18:42.680 --> 0:18:45.040 Right and it's like you you eventually have to defend 0:18:45.080 --> 0:18:48.119 yourself with some people. Yeah, I think I'm good at this. 0:18:48.200 --> 0:18:49.760 If I didn't think I'm good at this, I wouldn't 0:18:49.760 --> 0:18:50.000 be doing it. 0:18:50.320 --> 0:18:53.639 It is good at it on a relative scale, just 0:18:53.720 --> 0:18:56.399 maybe not to start right now. But yeah, that became 0:18:56.560 --> 0:18:59.680 big headlines. A lot of Taj Spears reportedly at practice 0:18:59.680 --> 0:19:02.600 and this Green game. He's finally healthy for once. He's 0:19:02.640 --> 0:19:04.040 a guy that he's going to just kind of have 0:19:04.080 --> 0:19:07.960 to prove he can stay healthy to combine with Tony 0:19:07.960 --> 0:19:11.280 Pollard in that backfield, Calvin Ridley, who everyone's forgotten about, 0:19:11.280 --> 0:19:14.280
