1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:04,040
Speaker 1: Hello Texans, and good evening. It's a very special night. Indeed,

2
00:00:04,080 --> 00:00:09,080
Speaker 1: you know why. It's game day eve Tomorrow the Texans

3
00:00:09,080 --> 00:00:11,520
Speaker 1: take on the Green Bay Packers at lambeau Field to

4
00:00:11,560 --> 00:00:14,440
Speaker 1: start the preseason, to begin the journey. We talked about

5
00:00:14,440 --> 00:00:16,400
Speaker 1: it yesterday a bit. We've been talking about it actually

6
00:00:16,440 --> 00:00:21,360
Speaker 1: all offseason long. It's time let's rock Texans getting some work. Obviously,

7
00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:23,560
Speaker 1: not a big night for the starters, but a big

8
00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:25,959
Speaker 1: night for the organization because you want to see how

9
00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:28,000
Speaker 1: deep you are. You want to give these guys a

10
00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:30,120
Speaker 1: test drive, and it's gonna be a lot of fun.

11
00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:33,280
Speaker 1: All right, Let's start it off with some choice cuts

12
00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:37,120
Speaker 1: here Bill O'Brien after the final practice, and we will

13
00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:39,040
Speaker 1: hear from him throughout the show. By the way, I've

14
00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:40,960
Speaker 1: got a special conversation with him in the next segment.

15
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:43,920
Speaker 1: You're gonna hear from numerous Texans tonight, a lot of

16
00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:46,760
Speaker 1: guys who will be playing against Green Bay. All right,

17
00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:49,720
Speaker 1: here's Bill O'Brien on what he's looking out for in

18
00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:53,480
Speaker 1: the preseason tilt with the Packers. Let's stay healthy, Let's

19
00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:55,200
Speaker 1: let's come out of it healthy. I mean it's hard

20
00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:58,840
Speaker 1: to do that. Guys are playing hard. It's a competitive

21
00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:01,240
Speaker 1: contact sport, but we want guys to be healthy, want

22
00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:04,480
Speaker 1: guys to get good repetitions in different situations. You know,

23
00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:07,039
Speaker 1: it's different now without the coaches out there right behind

24
00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:09,160
Speaker 1: you yelling at you, telling you what to do all

25
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:10,720
Speaker 1: the time. You know, you're out there on your own.

26
00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:12,880
Speaker 1: How do they perform? How do they perform with a

27
00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:14,880
Speaker 1: bunch of fans in the stands because it'll be packed

28
00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:18,720
Speaker 1: and uh, and you'll be playing at lambeau Field, so uh,

29
00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:21,440
Speaker 1: you know, just see how everybody handles that and play

30
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:24,240
Speaker 1: with poise and play hard and see how it goes.

31
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:28,600
Speaker 1: And Deshaun Watson has been really enjoying these practices at

32
00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:32,000
Speaker 1: Green Bay, including some of the traditional stuff like the

33
00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:34,680
Speaker 1: bike ride to the field and everything else, all the

34
00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:38,319
Speaker 1: trimmings that go along with being in this historic locale.

35
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:40,959
Speaker 1: That's been awesome. I mean the bicycle ride, it's pretty cool.

36
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:43,960
Speaker 1: I've always seen it on Instagram and on TV. But

37
00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:45,440
Speaker 1: to be able to have the chance to kind of

38
00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:49,080
Speaker 1: ride down the tradition and kind of you know, hop

39
00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:51,280
Speaker 1: on a kids bike and tall tom you know the

40
00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:54,360
Speaker 1: way to practice is it's pretty dope. It's very very

41
00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:57,160
Speaker 1: cool to kind of get to know, you know, little

42
00:01:57,160 --> 00:01:59,760
Speaker 1: fans that is from you know, place you would never

43
00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:01,560
Speaker 1: think you will be able to you know kind of

44
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:04,440
Speaker 1: experience and go to. So it was awesome. Yeah, I've

45
00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:06,400
Speaker 1: enjoyed it for sure. We don't know how much we're

46
00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:10,000
Speaker 1: gonna see watching, but Fuller is certainly back. Will Fuller

47
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:12,960
Speaker 1: coming back from that knee injury, just like Watson did

48
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:16,399
Speaker 1: last year. Deshaun is really happy to have Fuller back

49
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:19,240
Speaker 1: in the fold with his fellow pass catchers. You know,

50
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:22,120
Speaker 1: we're pacing itself. You know, it's only been nine ten

51
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:24,480
Speaker 1: months outever you have so I know that process of

52
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:26,360
Speaker 1: you know, getting in back in the groove and feeling

53
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:28,760
Speaker 1: yourself and you know, especially with him running full speed

54
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:32,000
Speaker 1: stopping on a on a break, but also just kind

55
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:33,960
Speaker 1: of um, you know, we're getting on the same page

56
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:37,080
Speaker 1: just like me. How you know with the chemistry we have.

57
00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:38,720
Speaker 1: I have a lot of chemistry we will and with

58
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:41,400
Speaker 1: Kiki and really all the guys. I mean there's no

59
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:45,600
Speaker 1: you know, no alpha or no bad you know vibe

60
00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:47,920
Speaker 1: is going on, especially on the offense society. So we

61
00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:50,320
Speaker 1: all kind of on one page and that's the beauty

62
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:53,080
Speaker 1: of it all. Right, Like we mentioned, Lamar Miller. I

63
00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:54,880
Speaker 1: don't know how much he's going to play. I think

64
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:57,760
Speaker 1: if Watching's in the game, Miller's in the game. But

65
00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:01,160
Speaker 1: let's find out together, shall we. As Drew Doherty catches

66
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:05,000
Speaker 1: up with Lamar Miller before the Texans take out the Packers, Lamark,

67
00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:07,400
Speaker 1: don't think you're gonna see too too many touches because

68
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:09,920
Speaker 1: you've practiced this week with the Packers and the starters

69
00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:11,720
Speaker 1: don't get a lot of action during these games. But

70
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:14,320
Speaker 1: what are you looking to accomplish when you actually do

71
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:16,520
Speaker 1: play in a preseason game? Just better than that chemistry

72
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:18,280
Speaker 1: with the office in line, you know, to get the

73
00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:20,760
Speaker 1: things rolling. I try to get to know them guys,

74
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:23,520
Speaker 1: ask them how they like to block on a certain round.

75
00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:26,520
Speaker 1: So just to build that chemistry in that bond with them,

76
00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:28,520
Speaker 1: so I know what they're thinking, so we could do

77
00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:30,800
Speaker 1: on the same page. And when you leave the field,

78
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:32,840
Speaker 1: and when you're you know, you're night is finished. As

79
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:35,000
Speaker 1: a player, You're still not finished story. What are you

80
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:36,840
Speaker 1: looking for? What are you observing? What are you doing

81
00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:39,040
Speaker 1: when you're on the sidelines. Well, me, as a leader

82
00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:40,960
Speaker 1: of the running back room, I try to coach the

83
00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:43,640
Speaker 1: younger guys up. Just to make sure they're taking full

84
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:46,720
Speaker 1: advantance of the opportunity and making sure they're doing a

85
00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:48,920
Speaker 1: right assiments. For the most part, I try to go

86
00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:51,280
Speaker 1: over there and get the iPad to tell them, you know,

87
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:53,720
Speaker 1: make sure on this run you'd be a little bit

88
00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:55,800
Speaker 1: more patient, you know, whatever the case may be. So

89
00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:58,040
Speaker 1: I just try to be a voice to them guys

90
00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:00,240
Speaker 1: and try to help them guys, you know, make place.

91
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:02,080
Speaker 1: How much do you think is accomplished by that, because

92
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:03,720
Speaker 1: I'm sure you were helped like that when you're with

93
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:05,840
Speaker 1: Miami when you're a young guy yourself, right, Yeah, just

94
00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:08,440
Speaker 1: coming into the league. I'm pretty sure you guys know

95
00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:10,680
Speaker 1: Steve Slayton, he was a guy who helped me out

96
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:12,520
Speaker 1: a lot in my rookie year. You know, he was

97
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:14,440
Speaker 1: in the league for a while and he was a

98
00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:17,000
Speaker 1: guy who was a voice to me, you know. So

99
00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:19,440
Speaker 1: I try to do the same thing to helping younger guys.

100
00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:22,200
Speaker 1: Playing against a team like the Packers, what's the most

101
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:25,560
Speaker 1: important part of the week of preparation that you guys

102
00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:28,200
Speaker 1: accomplished when you practice against them? Just to see where

103
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:30,280
Speaker 1: we had as a team. You know, there's a very

104
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:33,120
Speaker 1: great team that have a great offense. You know Aaron Rodgers,

105
00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:35,320
Speaker 1: you know, he's a you know, one of the Hall

106
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:37,440
Speaker 1: of Fame quarterbacks. So I know on the office side

107
00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:39,560
Speaker 1: of the ball, we're just trying to see where we at,

108
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:41,880
Speaker 1: you know, just to grow up against somebody else, you know,

109
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:44,480
Speaker 1: instead of against our own teammates, and you know, just

110
00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:46,880
Speaker 1: try to compete and just have fun. For the most part,

111
00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:49,880
Speaker 1: excitement and optimism are high right now for the Houston Texans.

112
00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:52,680
Speaker 1: What can you guys accomplish in twenty nineteen. I think

113
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:54,520
Speaker 1: right now, we just got to build that trust with

114
00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:57,000
Speaker 1: one another. We just gotta be on the same page.

115
00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:58,640
Speaker 1: I feel like we have a lot of time on

116
00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:00,560
Speaker 1: the group, but we just gotta find a way to

117
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:03,200
Speaker 1: be consistent. And I think once everybody be on the

118
00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:06,000
Speaker 1: same page and everybody do the assignment, I think the

119
00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:08,359
Speaker 1: sky's a member. But first we took how to build

120
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:11,159
Speaker 1: that bar in the chemistry are there? Just put in

121
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:13,280
Speaker 1: the work. For the most part. Pro Bowl running back

122
00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:15,480
Speaker 1: Lamar Millick. First of all, how I said, sound when

123
00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:16,800
Speaker 1: you when you get to say that Pro Bowl running

124
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:19,000
Speaker 1: back Lamar Millier, it feels good. You know if my

125
00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:21,880
Speaker 1: first one, I still got to improve, you know, work

126
00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:23,880
Speaker 1: on something I know I'm twenty eight, but at the

127
00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:26,719
Speaker 1: same time, I'm still getting better. Yeah, it feels good though.

128
00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:28,719
Speaker 1: All right, I'll wrap it up now. Pro Bowl running

129
00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:30,720
Speaker 1: back Lamar Miller. We appreciate the time. Best of luck

130
00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:33,360
Speaker 1: in twenty nineteen fans. I appreciate that. We're going to

131
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:35,760
Speaker 1: get into a lot of audio. Some of it you

132
00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:39,040
Speaker 1: have heard before, some of it you haven't. But it's

133
00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:41,200
Speaker 1: some best of camp stuff because we've had a lot

134
00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:45,159
Speaker 1: of special visits with the players, one of them Brennan Scarlett,

135
00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:49,359
Speaker 1: who's really good on special teams, good outside linebacker. A

136
00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:51,680
Speaker 1: lot being asked of him in this preseason and he

137
00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:55,039
Speaker 1: is delivering to the coaches. And John Harris has this

138
00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:57,160
Speaker 1: thing called the forty where he walks forty yards or

139
00:05:57,200 --> 00:05:59,159
Speaker 1: a player. We did a lot of this for TV.

140
00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:02,120
Speaker 1: And you hear the music. You hear Johnny, you hear

141
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:05,400
Speaker 1: Brennan Scarlett, who's fun to listen to. A scar It's

142
00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:07,200
Speaker 1: good to see you back man. First of all, I

143
00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:10,800
Speaker 1: think that's just last year. Refresh me. Fastest four you

144
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:13,840
Speaker 1: ever ran. I'm gonna give it. I'm gonna give the

145
00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:16,599
Speaker 1: fourth six. You don't got to specify if it was

146
00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:22,359
Speaker 1: high four fourth thank you. Okay, what's the last book

147
00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:25,400
Speaker 1: you read? In a book you would recommend to people

148
00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:29,520
Speaker 1: to read? Oh wow, I actually just finish the subtle

149
00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:33,880
Speaker 1: art of not giving them right by Mark Manson. It

150
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:36,360
Speaker 1: was pretty good, very good, pretty good. If you had

151
00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:39,839
Speaker 1: to pick one teammate to sit down with a group

152
00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:42,520
Speaker 1: of third graders to read books to them, what teammate

153
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:46,680
Speaker 1: would it be? Who would it be? M? I think

154
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:48,880
Speaker 1: I think Justin Reid will do a good job with that.

155
00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:56,960

157
00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:10,360
Speaker 1: you know I'm gonna tell you the eye of my

158
00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:14,800
Speaker 1: almost prisons overall plan they had, like the plaid, the

159
00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:18,600
Speaker 1: plaid underneath the plaid, lightning end of not getting it

160
00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:21,360
Speaker 1: because you can't really wear overall. Don't you don't want

161
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:25,200
Speaker 1: to do that? That's straight nineties down like fresh press.

162
00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:29,800
Speaker 1: You know it's back. Okay, we know that you're a

163
00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:33,640
Speaker 1: fashionis stuff. If your whole closets wiped out, you got

164
00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:37,560
Speaker 1: your essentials taken care of. What's the first item of

165
00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:41,840
Speaker 1: clothing that you would buy it for yourself? You gotta

166
00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:46,600
Speaker 1: get some pants solid pair of pants. You know, honestly,

167
00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:48,960
Speaker 1: I would get some like some some some tailors, some

168
00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:52,920
Speaker 1: altered uh flacks, you know, with the crease down the middle,

169
00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:55,200
Speaker 1: because then it's so flexib we could you could dress

170
00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:57,760
Speaker 1: it down. You could dress it up. Who is the

171
00:07:57,840 --> 00:08:02,440
Speaker 1: most fashionable member of some Texans not named Brennan Scarlett?

172
00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:11,840
Speaker 1: Art there it is Scarlet the best. There is another

173
00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:14,200
Speaker 1: player who I think you're bound to see on Thursday

174
00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:16,920
Speaker 1: night is Darren Fells tight end. We've talked about him,

175
00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:20,200
Speaker 1: a bodge former basketball player at a tight end, who's

176
00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:23,200
Speaker 1: really trying to make a mark in this organization. Well,

177
00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:27,760
Speaker 1: let's hear a special Drew's Dirty Dozen questions with Darren

178
00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:31,000
Speaker 1: Fells the tight end. Darren, Time to play Dirty Dozen.

179
00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:34,160
Speaker 1: So let's get going. What is your best football trait?

180
00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:37,400
Speaker 1: My best football trade would have to be my six

181
00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:40,080
Speaker 1: seventh frame. I never got my arms length measured, but

182
00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:42,400
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure my wingspans out there, so I think

183
00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:45,280
Speaker 1: my heightened wingspan will be my best best trade. So

184
00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:47,720
Speaker 1: if you're six foot seven inches tall, that means your

185
00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:51,760
Speaker 1: wingspans probably like in seven foot range, right, yeah, just

186
00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:54,679
Speaker 1: seven six inches you have. Let's say that. Okay, So

187
00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:57,040
Speaker 1: basically like yao ming, you're you are yeoming when you

188
00:08:57,040 --> 00:09:00,319
Speaker 1: stretch your arms. Okay, must pack item for training camp

189
00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:03,360
Speaker 1: is my leg regeneration machines. Those training camps a long,

190
00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:04,920
Speaker 1: long haul and you need to be ready for the

191
00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:07,040
Speaker 1: next day. So that's better than an xbox, which is

192
00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:09,880
Speaker 1: what one of your teammates said. Oh man, that's that's

193
00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:12,320
Speaker 1: the wrong, wrong thing, the pack of training camp. Speaking

194
00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:14,880
Speaker 1: of your teammates, which one of them talks the most trash? Oh?

195
00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:18,199
Speaker 1: JT hands down, hands down, enough said, he talks trash

196
00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:20,400
Speaker 1: to me sometimes too, so I know what you're saying.

197
00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:22,920
Speaker 1: All right. Typical breakfast is well, that will be two

198
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:26,400
Speaker 1: eggs with much of all the fixings veggie wise, chicken sausage,

199
00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:30,360
Speaker 1: some hash browns, and fruit every single day, every single day.

200
00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:34,960
Speaker 1: Who has the best hair on the Texans? Best hair man,

201
00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:39,800
Speaker 1: I'm a gonna have to go with my boy, Jordan Atkins.

202
00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:43,560
Speaker 1: Jordan Nick's staying with a fellow. Tight ends. Okay, dreads,

203
00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:46,680
Speaker 1: he keeps them clean and nice, nice and silky smooth.

204
00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:48,720
Speaker 1: How about the best dresser? Who's that? Honestly, I haven't

205
00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:51,160
Speaker 1: seen enough guys dressed in anything but street clothes. Spike

206
00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:52,679
Speaker 1: I couldn't tell you that yet. You gotta wait for

207
00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:54,880
Speaker 1: the first game. It's what you're saying. Yeah for sure, Okay,

208
00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:59,240
Speaker 1: who's the tightiest Texan? I would love to say myself,

209
00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:03,400
Speaker 1: but my walker isn't as great as it usually is.

210
00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:05,719
Speaker 1: A lot of guys are dirty, so I couldn't give

211
00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:07,679
Speaker 1: you that. I was gonna say, who's the messiest Texan?

212
00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:10,559
Speaker 1: Ooh j T Again, he has a lot of stuff

213
00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:12,240
Speaker 1: in his in his locker and it's all over the

214
00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:15,400
Speaker 1: place sometimes, fair enough. Teammate that amps you up the

215
00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:22,120
Speaker 1: most is amps me up the most. All my tight ends.

216
00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:24,439
Speaker 1: We all hang out together. We get to each other

217
00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:28,520
Speaker 1: going so I mean Darrell Jordan, both Jordan's, I should say,

218
00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:31,600
Speaker 1: and Calle we all get. We have each other's back,

219
00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:34,200
Speaker 1: and we hype each other's up when we're down on

220
00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:38,840
Speaker 1: the other end. Which teammate calms you down the most? Oh?

221
00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:40,640
Speaker 1: I get in my own head, so I would say myself.

222
00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:42,520
Speaker 1: I'm an older guy on the team, so I know

223
00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:44,400
Speaker 1: how to calm myself down. I don't need much people

224
00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:46,240
Speaker 1: to calm me down. You're not the first player that

225
00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:49,160
Speaker 1: said myself when you When I get that question to him,

226
00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:51,400
Speaker 1: that's it's pretty good. Yeah, that's an awesome answer, because

227
00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:53,280
Speaker 1: when boys a flying, you need to be able to

228
00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:56,199
Speaker 1: calm yourself down. So favorite TV show right now or

229
00:10:56,240 --> 00:11:00,040
Speaker 1: show on Netflix or Hulu. Honestly, it's funny because I

230
00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:02,120
Speaker 1: watched it before, but then I went to visit my

231
00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:05,160
Speaker 1: brother up north northern California, and we got me and

232
00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:07,679
Speaker 1: my wife both got back into Naked nifree, so we

233
00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:10,040
Speaker 1: watched that a lot. Favorite TV show when you were

234
00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:13,640
Speaker 1: growing up was Rugrats. Rugrats, Oh, call on my age

235
00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:16,120
Speaker 1: right there. You're not the only one that said that,

236
00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:20,240
Speaker 1: though John's Abatamosi also a Rugrats fan. Bat's a he's

237
00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:22,959
Speaker 1: twenty eight, so he's a little older guy in the

238
00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:26,559
Speaker 1: NFL too. So toughest part of camp is the long days.

239
00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:28,560
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm up here at five o'clock in the

240
00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:31,320
Speaker 1: morning and don't leave till about eight eight thirty. Oh,

241
00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:34,800
Speaker 1: it's just that long holiday. I love the pads, I

242
00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:36,240
Speaker 1: love coming out in there and hid and that's the

243
00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:39,160
Speaker 1: easy part. It's just the long meetings, the longs. Just

244
00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:41,240
Speaker 1: you know, you'd have six seven hours left in the

245
00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:44,320
Speaker 1: day and you're just like, I can do it. You

246
00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:47,360
Speaker 1: played college hoops, you played pro hoops internationally. Which of

247
00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:50,360
Speaker 1: your teammates would present the biggest challenge to you on

248
00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:52,200
Speaker 1: the court. I'm not saying they'd beat you, but who

249
00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:54,319
Speaker 1: would be the biggest challenge for you? As far as

250
00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:57,720
Speaker 1: basketball guys, I would say if I had to go

251
00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:00,240
Speaker 1: one on one with Kiki, he'd be He'd be tough.

252
00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:03,720
Speaker 1: Those smaller, quicker guys. I mean, I'm I'm not saying

253
00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:06,319
Speaker 1: I'm slow, but him driving to the basket, it will

254
00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:07,560
Speaker 1: be tough. And I don't know if he has a shot.

255
00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:08,840
Speaker 1: So if he can shoot, that means I have have to

256
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:10,559
Speaker 1: get up into him a little bit more than he's

257
00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:12,720
Speaker 1: going right right around me every time. Makes you feel

258
00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:14,760
Speaker 1: for a posing defensive back, sudn't it? Oh? Yeah, it

259
00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:17,560
Speaker 1: definitely does. Darren Fells, We really appreciate the time best

260
00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:20,360
Speaker 1: to look throughout training camp, the preseason and beyond. This

261
00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:23,080
Speaker 1: has been a dirty dozen. Appreciate it all right. A

262
00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:26,280
Speaker 1: fast paced first segment of the show tonight. In the

263
00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:28,640
Speaker 1: next segment, you will hear from Bill O'Brien a special

264
00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:33,400
Speaker 1: conversation with him prior to the Packers on Thursday night,

265
00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:36,920
Speaker 1: and also Greg Matts you're gonna hear from him Joe Webb,

266
00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:39,360
Speaker 1: who will play a ton in this game, I think,

267
00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:43,960
Speaker 1: And to Sean Gibson, new safety making his debut, I

268
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:46,240
Speaker 1: would think in this game. But again, we'll all find

269
00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:48,720
Speaker 1: out together. So that's why you want to be checking

270
00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:51,320
Speaker 1: it out on ABC thirteen, streaming it on the app.

271
00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:54,160
Speaker 1: And I think, more importantly for my case right now

272
00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:57,920
Speaker 1: listening on this very radio station. So let's hear all

273
00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:01,640
Speaker 1: that as the program continues. Bill Brian next on Texans

274
00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:06,400
Speaker 1: All Access. Texans All Access continues from Green Bay, twenty

275
00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:09,240
Speaker 1: four hours before the Texans take the field in their

276
00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:12,480
Speaker 1: preseason opener. All right, let's get to this, Bill O'Brien.

277
00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:15,240
Speaker 1: I caught up with him and asked him about before

278
00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:18,160
Speaker 1: we get it to game day stuff. What about these

279
00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:20,760
Speaker 1: first couple of weeks of training camp? In his mind,

280
00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:23,160
Speaker 1: how has this gone? It's been good. These guys have

281
00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:25,800
Speaker 1: worked hard, they've they've improved. We just asked guys to

282
00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:28,160
Speaker 1: get better, try to come out every day and get better.

283
00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:31,720
Speaker 1: You know, we're just looking for smart guys, tough guys,

284
00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:34,960
Speaker 1: dependable guys, and this team's working hard. These two days

285
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:37,480
Speaker 1: here were good, and you know, I think we've improved

286
00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:39,840
Speaker 1: in the game. How do you balance running what you

287
00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:42,839
Speaker 1: want to run without showing too much for the regular season. Yeah,

288
00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:44,680
Speaker 1: I think you want to play fundamental football. I don't

289
00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:46,600
Speaker 1: think you want to get into schematics. I think you

290
00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:48,079
Speaker 1: just want to line up and play and see who

291
00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:50,640
Speaker 1: can play without doing a lot of thinking. And I

292
00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:53,280
Speaker 1: think you need to take a good evaluation of special teams,

293
00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:55,560
Speaker 1: see how they perform on special teams. I thought we

294
00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:57,320
Speaker 1: had a good couple of days here on special teams,

295
00:13:57,320 --> 00:13:59,600
Speaker 1: So we'll see how that carries over to the game

296
00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:01,439
Speaker 1: on third day. But I think you want to keep

297
00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:03,920
Speaker 1: it pretty simple and give you a chance to evaluate

298
00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:06,840
Speaker 1: special teams, the phase in which you can probably learn

299
00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:08,959
Speaker 1: the most in these preseason games. I would say it's

300
00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:10,559
Speaker 1: a pretty important deal. I don't know if you learn

301
00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:12,600
Speaker 1: the most. I mean you might, you know, with certain guys,

302
00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:14,079
Speaker 1: you know, how do they play in space? How do

303
00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:16,800
Speaker 1: they what type of effort do they give? You know,

304
00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:18,640
Speaker 1: are they able to be productive into what we're asked

305
00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:20,560
Speaker 1: them to do? So, Yeah, it's definitely an important part

306
00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:24,200
Speaker 1: of it. Line combinations, offensively, running the football, what are

307
00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:26,600
Speaker 1: you looking for in that dimension? Yeah, I mean we'll

308
00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:29,920
Speaker 1: play most of our guys on the offensive line, if

309
00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:32,680
Speaker 1: not all of them. Now, some guys will play more

310
00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:36,200
Speaker 1: than others, obviously, but we'll look at a couple different combinations.

311
00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:38,240
Speaker 1: See how they you know, see how they work together.

312
00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:40,000
Speaker 1: And you know, we'll run the football, see how our

313
00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:42,840
Speaker 1: running game looks. And like I said, well we'll try

314
00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:46,160
Speaker 1: to play good fundamental football. Now reacting to the noise

315
00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:48,040
Speaker 1: here at lambeau Field. Not a regular season game, but

316
00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:50,040
Speaker 1: it's a good environment to get you ready for some

317
00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:52,200
Speaker 1: of the environments you're gonna face. Absolutely, you're on the

318
00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:54,400
Speaker 1: road for the first game, and it gives you a

319
00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:56,960
Speaker 1: chance for guys to get into a road routine. How

320
00:14:56,960 --> 00:14:59,200
Speaker 1: do they operate? You know, eat in the morning, get

321
00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:01,400
Speaker 1: on the bus, come on over to the stadium. How

322
00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:03,160
Speaker 1: do they get ready for a road game? You're playing

323
00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:06,200
Speaker 1: here at a historic stadium. Yeah, it's it's a great

324
00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:09,320
Speaker 1: opportunity to set your routine for the season. What about

325
00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:12,040
Speaker 1: the coaches working together, some of them for the first time,

326
00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:14,080
Speaker 1: as you've added some new faces this year. Yeah, it's

327
00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:16,800
Speaker 1: been good. We've done a lot of that in OTA's

328
00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:18,320
Speaker 1: a lot of that here in training camp, so we're

329
00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:21,160
Speaker 1: getting used to each other. It's been really good. I'd

330
00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:23,920
Speaker 1: say offensively. The addition to Carl Smith has been really good.

331
00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:26,480
Speaker 1: He'll be upstairs in the booth and he'll be a

332
00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:28,520
Speaker 1: good eye in the sky for us. But we've we've

333
00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:30,920
Speaker 1: worked a lot of that here in camp and it's

334
00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:33,640
Speaker 1: it's been good. Thanks a lot, coach, good luck, Thanks Danny,

335
00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:36,720
Speaker 1: Bill O'Brien on the game. Okay, so let's get to

336
00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:39,240
Speaker 1: some other Texans here, and one of them who has

337
00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:41,200
Speaker 1: been playing a ton at center is Greg Mats. He's

338
00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:43,320
Speaker 1: been playing with that starting old line Nick Martin out

339
00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:46,560
Speaker 1: with an injury, so Matt's getting a lot of work.

340
00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:49,680
Speaker 1: And here he is in a nice conversation with Dep. Situ,

341
00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:52,280
Speaker 1: part of the Axfinity one on one that we featured

342
00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:55,200
Speaker 1: throughout training camp. Greg, First things first, I just realized

343
00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:59,040
Speaker 1: that you do a mean Mario impression, particularly with Mario

344
00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:00,720
Speaker 1: is dying in the video game. Is this something that

345
00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:04,080
Speaker 1: you've been practicing? No, Um, you know, I can't wait

346
00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:05,880
Speaker 1: to see the side by the side. UM. I guess

347
00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:09,040
Speaker 1: all those years of Nintendo paid off. Um Super Nintendo,

348
00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:11,520
Speaker 1: of course, but uh, you know I can't wait to

349
00:16:11,520 --> 00:16:13,720
Speaker 1: see it. Um. Normally I try to avoid, you know,

350
00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:15,280
Speaker 1: all that media stuff, but I might have to take

351
00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:17,520
Speaker 1: a look at this one. Yeah, we're referring to the

352
00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:20,680
Speaker 1: What's in the Box edition that just came out. You

353
00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:23,440
Speaker 1: got tricked into touching a few things, and I forget

354
00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:24,680
Speaker 1: what it was that made you scream. It was like

355
00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:28,760
Speaker 1: a pineapple or something a little brickly, very scary. All right, Greg,

356
00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:31,320
Speaker 1: You're out here, full day of pads, a lot of

357
00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:33,200
Speaker 1: talk about the offensive line and the rookies that are

358
00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:34,440
Speaker 1: out there. How do you think that they've done your

359
00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:37,040
Speaker 1: teammates Tynus Howard Max sharping those guys now that the

360
00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:39,200
Speaker 1: full pads are back. You know, I think the whole group,

361
00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:41,680
Speaker 1: you know, Zack Folden, Matt Cleil, you know, uh, Julian

362
00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:44,040
Speaker 1: Davapor at Central Henderson to the whole of the whole group.

363
00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:46,040
Speaker 1: I mean, there's a whole bunch of guys and we're

364
00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:47,760
Speaker 1: all just trying to get better every day. Um. I

365
00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:50,440
Speaker 1: think everyone has a great mentality. Kellamente Senior, my friend

366
00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:52,600
Speaker 1: him Rank, you know, brother Rod. Like, I'm just making

367
00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:54,480
Speaker 1: sure I name all of them, um, all the guys.

368
00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:56,440
Speaker 1: But uh, you know, I think I think it's sort

369
00:16:56,480 --> 00:16:58,120
Speaker 1: of like a day by day process and we're excited

370
00:16:58,120 --> 00:17:00,240
Speaker 1: to work. You guys are such a close knick group.

371
00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:01,920
Speaker 1: You have the Old Line Dinners. We always talk about

372
00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:03,600
Speaker 1: how big the Old Line has been looking this year.

373
00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:05,480
Speaker 1: You guys are some big dudes out there, big but fast.

374
00:17:06,040 --> 00:17:09,399
Speaker 1: So the Old Line Dinners. Who eats the most? Gosh?

375
00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:10,800
Speaker 1: You know? I mean there have been plenty of people

376
00:17:10,800 --> 00:17:12,960
Speaker 1: over the years who've eating a lot. I'm excited to

377
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:15,399
Speaker 1: see some of these rookies this year. You know, we

378
00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:16,880
Speaker 1: have some we have some great eaters, but now we're

379
00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:19,040
Speaker 1: smart eaters. You know, we care about our nutrition. Lad

380
00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:21,280
Speaker 1: if you're watching this, we work on our foods. We

381
00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:23,840
Speaker 1: eat the right way, you know, and we're just trying

382
00:17:23,840 --> 00:17:26,000
Speaker 1: to We're trying to enjoy ourselves, but at the same time,

383
00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:28,520
Speaker 1: you know, keep the bodies right. I heard that Deshaun

384
00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:30,600
Speaker 1: Watson is sometimes a guest at these dinners. Do you

385
00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:34,119
Speaker 1: guys incorporate him? And how does that work? Do you

386
00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:35,480
Speaker 1: just wanted him to be a part of the group.

387
00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:37,080
Speaker 1: Did he ask to be part of the group. You're

388
00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:39,280
Speaker 1: working on chemistry? Well, I mean I feel like quarterbacks,

389
00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:41,800
Speaker 1: you know, tight ends and running backs are also always welcome.

390
00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:44,720
Speaker 1: Wide receivers have made appearances. We like to view it

391
00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:46,239
Speaker 1: as an offensive dinner. You know, I think the old

392
00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:48,520
Speaker 1: line are just always there because we're just that close

393
00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:50,800
Speaker 1: of a group. And the quarterbacks were there every single

394
00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:53,320
Speaker 1: time last year, you know, all of them. So everyone

395
00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:56,119
Speaker 1: sort of you know, comes has fun camaraderie. You know,

396
00:17:56,160 --> 00:17:57,919
Speaker 1: we sort of leave the phones away, so you get

397
00:17:57,960 --> 00:17:59,320
Speaker 1: to know your teamates a little better. It's a lot

398
00:17:59,359 --> 00:18:01,320
Speaker 1: of fun. Speaking of de Shaun, how has that chemistry

399
00:18:01,359 --> 00:18:03,399
Speaker 1: been He's talked about how he's invited some of the

400
00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:05,280
Speaker 1: other position groups over to sort of work on that.

401
00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:07,879
Speaker 1: How about you guys with the old line very important

402
00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:10,000
Speaker 1: to what he does. What's that chemistry have been lining?

403
00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:12,240
Speaker 1: You know, I think, I mean, we're very fortunate to

404
00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:14,720
Speaker 1: have a great quarterback. I'm fortunate to get to work

405
00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:16,080
Speaker 1: with him. You know, I've seen him for three years

406
00:18:16,119 --> 00:18:18,000
Speaker 1: and just sort of how he works is awesome. Um,

407
00:18:18,119 --> 00:18:19,679
Speaker 1: and it's a blessing for us because he works with

408
00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:21,640
Speaker 1: us so well, you know, talks with us about everything,

409
00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:23,879
Speaker 1: and like I said, we're just trying to be the

410
00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:25,960
Speaker 1: best we can to help him out. Hope you felt

411
00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:28,119
Speaker 1: that the running backs have done so far and we

412
00:18:28,359 --> 00:18:30,040
Speaker 1: got some great running backs and we just got to

413
00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:32,800
Speaker 1: do our job. Open up some holes. You know, they've

414
00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:34,320
Speaker 1: done a lot of good things. You know, they've had

415
00:18:34,320 --> 00:18:35,720
Speaker 1: some big runs and we just have to do our

416
00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:38,160
Speaker 1: part to make sure we can open up some holes

417
00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:39,960
Speaker 1: for him. Let's talk about your off season. I saw

418
00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:41,600
Speaker 1: that you were training out in Arizona with a number

419
00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:43,560
Speaker 1: of players. How did that come about? Because it's not

420
00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:45,840
Speaker 1: just the old linemen that are out there right no, so, um,

421
00:18:46,680 --> 00:18:48,320
Speaker 1: you know, there's a there's a group. I've been going

422
00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:50,280
Speaker 1: there for a couple of years. It started with some

423
00:18:50,320 --> 00:18:53,720
Speaker 1: ex teammates who used to play here who aren't here anymore.

424
00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:55,320
Speaker 1: But you know, I just sort of like the area.

425
00:18:55,320 --> 00:18:56,639
Speaker 1: And on top of it, it's hot. You know, it's

426
00:18:56,640 --> 00:18:59,280
Speaker 1: not Houston hot, but different hot. It's it's it's a

427
00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:01,359
Speaker 1: different hot. But like I said, everything's just trying to

428
00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:03,600
Speaker 1: get in shape and get ready for this. You know,

429
00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:05,080
Speaker 1: this is the best part of the year. Let's thank

430
00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:07,200
Speaker 1: you so much, absolutely thank you for having me. Now,

431
00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:10,359
Speaker 1: next up, let's get to Drew's Dirty Dozen questions. That

432
00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:13,080
Speaker 1: was fun to hear from Greg Matts. But Jalil a

433
00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:16,439
Speaker 1: die a new player and Drew's been asking players a

434
00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:19,919
Speaker 1: dozen questions. Well, a die out of Central Michigan is

435
00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:22,639
Speaker 1: a fun player to listen to. Man these safeties justin

436
00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:26,720
Speaker 1: read Jalila Die to Sean Gibson. They can talk. Well,

437
00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:29,280
Speaker 1: let's listen in time now to do it Dirty dozen

438
00:19:29,359 --> 00:19:32,000
Speaker 1: with Jalila Die, safety for the Houston Texans. One of

439
00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:34,120
Speaker 1: my favorite guys to talk with because you're a hell

440
00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:36,760
Speaker 1: of a soccer player. Maybe not anymore, but at one

441
00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:38,960
Speaker 1: time you were great, weren't you? I was pretty good.

442
00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:41,200
Speaker 1: I'd like to say that. Tell us about that. There's

443
00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:44,120
Speaker 1: more to it than quote unquote being pretty good. Well,

444
00:19:44,160 --> 00:19:45,600
Speaker 1: I started when I was like three years old. My

445
00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:48,959
Speaker 1: dad Gridity from West Africa Gana, so that was our

446
00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:51,800
Speaker 1: family first sport. I played travel ball all the way

447
00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:55,840
Speaker 1: up to eighteen years old, played across seas and played

448
00:19:55,880 --> 00:19:58,879
Speaker 1: with against Costa Rica's youth seventeen national team. And then

449
00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:00,600
Speaker 1: when it got down to when I was team, which

450
00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:02,919
Speaker 1: one did I want to choose football to soccer my

451
00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:05,680
Speaker 1: true love, you know, with football being America's number one sport,

452
00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:07,919
Speaker 1: I chose football and it was a good choice because

453
00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:10,080
Speaker 1: you have been an excellent football player. So let's get

454
00:20:10,119 --> 00:20:14,280
Speaker 1: into these questions. What is your best football trait? I'm

455
00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:16,320
Speaker 1: on physical. I like to hit I like to impose

456
00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:18,640
Speaker 1: my will and the passion that I play. I played

457
00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:20,639
Speaker 1: the game with I puild a lot of energy, and

458
00:20:20,840 --> 00:20:22,800
Speaker 1: I think that i'd like to say that my teammates

459
00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:25,720
Speaker 1: feet off of that, which of your teammates is the messiest,

460
00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:28,880
Speaker 1: the messiest. I don't know that one yet. I think

461
00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:31,959
Speaker 1: everyone's pretty pretty clean for right now. It's early in Campbell,

462
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:33,560
Speaker 1: so get back to me on that. That's a good

463
00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:35,280
Speaker 1: political answer. I don't give it to you just because

464
00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:37,120
Speaker 1: you're new, but I'd depressed you on this if you'd

465
00:20:37,119 --> 00:20:38,960
Speaker 1: have been around the team a little bit longer. It's

466
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:41,840
Speaker 1: the tightiest teammate so far, you think I think I am.

467
00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:44,720
Speaker 1: You know, my locker's very organized. I think I get

468
00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:47,760
Speaker 1: my OCD. You want to have everything in order for

469
00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:50,760
Speaker 1: my wife, Lindsay's. She's that's growing on me from her.

470
00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:53,000
Speaker 1: That's a good type of OCD though, right, very good,

471
00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:55,600
Speaker 1: very good. What's your typical breakfast like on a training

472
00:20:55,640 --> 00:20:59,040
Speaker 1: camp day for organic shelled eggs with spinach cheddar cheese

473
00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:02,080
Speaker 1: on the top, after it's scramble, three slices of avocado, bacon,

474
00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:04,439
Speaker 1: water and orange juice. I can see a little bit

475
00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:08,280
Speaker 1: of this OCD because most guys have just said bacon, eggs,

476
00:21:08,359 --> 00:21:12,040
Speaker 1: toast fruit. You were very specific, same meal every day.

477
00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:16,400
Speaker 1: Favorite retired NFL player is my favorite NFL player rest

478
00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:19,320
Speaker 1: in peace. And Sean Taylor best hair on the Texans,

479
00:21:19,720 --> 00:21:21,680
Speaker 1: best hair on the Texans. I would have to say

480
00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:23,640
Speaker 1: this between I'm a dread head guy, so I gotta

481
00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:25,760
Speaker 1: go with me hop and fuller. Okay, You've been named

482
00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:27,359
Speaker 1: by a few other of your teammates who have done this,

483
00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:29,639
Speaker 1: so that's a good thing to have on the first,

484
00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:31,520
Speaker 1: you know, first half year on a team. Much love,

485
00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:34,000
Speaker 1: much love. Teammate that gets you the most excited, get

486
00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:36,480
Speaker 1: you amped up the most of a daily basis. Teammate

487
00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:39,440
Speaker 1: gets me most excited and amped up on a daily basis.

488
00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:43,080
Speaker 1: I would have to say I don't. I would have

489
00:21:43,080 --> 00:21:45,600
Speaker 1: to say JJ Man just watching him, you know, from

490
00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:47,159
Speaker 1: my outside, never being around him, to be in his

491
00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:48,800
Speaker 1: teammate now, just seeing how he works, how he goes

492
00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:51,040
Speaker 1: about his business, you know, all the success he's had

493
00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:53,280
Speaker 1: and how he still continues to work and grind the

494
00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:55,359
Speaker 1: way he does. So I think that'd be one of

495
00:21:55,359 --> 00:21:58,120
Speaker 1: the teammates. Teammate that colms you down the most. Bad

496
00:21:58,119 --> 00:22:00,880
Speaker 1: Emosey Bad emosely has to be the team that calls

497
00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:02,399
Speaker 1: me down the most, always checks something. You ask me,

498
00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:06,440
Speaker 1: how I'm doing, how's my spirit? Good guy, good mannerisms.

499
00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:09,880
Speaker 1: He's that guy you're saying this with a slight smile.

500
00:22:10,320 --> 00:22:12,680
Speaker 1: Is he also you have the slightest sense of humor

501
00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:15,320
Speaker 1: on the team as well? He does. That's him. That's him.

502
00:22:15,359 --> 00:22:16,800
Speaker 1: If you know him, you know that's to be true.

503
00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:19,040
Speaker 1: He just did this a few days ago and got

504
00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:21,439
Speaker 1: us pretty good with some things. Best part of training

505
00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:24,359
Speaker 1: camp is just the commodity you build your teammates. You know,

506
00:22:24,359 --> 00:22:27,119
Speaker 1: obviously just working and grinding and getting yourself ready for

507
00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:30,320
Speaker 1: week one um in the season, but the commodity that

508
00:22:30,320 --> 00:22:32,080
Speaker 1: you build your teammates. It's so much like you here

509
00:22:32,119 --> 00:22:34,280
Speaker 1: all day, so you get to know each other and

510
00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:35,840
Speaker 1: you build that bond in that brotherhood that you go

511
00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:38,160
Speaker 1: need when you're out there between those white lions. What's

557
00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:44,480

558
00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:46,359
Speaker 1: of it's loan, but it's not long enough, you know.

559
00:24:46,440 --> 00:24:48,800
Speaker 1: So obviously that's when you're hone in on football. Man.

560
00:24:48,840 --> 00:24:51,440
Speaker 1: Everything gets football. Preparing for this upcoming season. We got

561
00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:53,919
Speaker 1: new goals and things like that, So just getting just

562
00:24:53,920 --> 00:24:56,200
Speaker 1: getting prepared, man, and just excited just being home around

563
00:24:56,200 --> 00:24:57,920
Speaker 1: my family in France. I know you've talked about how

564
00:24:57,920 --> 00:24:59,760
Speaker 1: excited you are to be back in Texas training camps

565
00:24:59,760 --> 00:25:02,760
Speaker 1: back in Houston this year. What's training campen like for you?

566
00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:05,280
Speaker 1: It seems like the entire off season we talked about

567
00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:08,000
Speaker 1: chemistry in the secondary, but you guys are really clicking

568
00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:10,000
Speaker 1: out here. How do you feel that's gone so far? Oh,

569
00:25:10,040 --> 00:25:12,000
Speaker 1: it's been awesome. I think that the biggest thing is

570
00:25:12,440 --> 00:25:14,240
Speaker 1: got to learn each other in off season. We learned

571
00:25:14,280 --> 00:25:16,360
Speaker 1: each other in off season. Guys learned me. I learned

572
00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:18,240
Speaker 1: the guys who I'm playing next to. And I think

573
00:25:18,280 --> 00:25:20,560
Speaker 1: that that part was just big. It was influential on

574
00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:23,720
Speaker 1: us growing together as men. And the thing about it, man,

575
00:25:23,880 --> 00:25:26,000
Speaker 1: is one thing that's for certain around here is that

576
00:25:26,080 --> 00:25:29,040
Speaker 1: it's bigger than just on the football's field between the

577
00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:31,720
Speaker 1: white lines, Guys is connecting with each other. Outside, guys

578
00:25:31,760 --> 00:25:33,680
Speaker 1: are throwing the events, Guys are showing up and supporting,

579
00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:35,840
Speaker 1: and that's just cool. That's the type of comaraderie you need.

580
00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:38,359
Speaker 1: And I think that beyond that, we're just vibing together.

581
00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:40,119
Speaker 1: And I think that's starting to show we getting comfortable

582
00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:42,480
Speaker 1: with each other. And that's the main thing. When you understand,

583
00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:44,240
Speaker 1: you know what you're getting to the guy to the

584
00:25:44,280 --> 00:25:45,800
Speaker 1: left of you, to the right of you. That's a

585
00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:47,560
Speaker 1: comfort and thing. And I think that guys had to

586
00:25:47,640 --> 00:25:50,520
Speaker 1: kind of learn each other's game and skill sets. Everybody's

587
00:25:50,520 --> 00:25:52,880
Speaker 1: skill set is different and we just mess shore where

588
00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:54,280
Speaker 1: back there, man, And it's excite. We got a lot

589
00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:56,920
Speaker 1: of different personality. We got young guys, we got really

590
00:25:56,960 --> 00:26:00,320
Speaker 1: old guys, man, and you know, we just going and

591
00:26:00,440 --> 00:26:02,119
Speaker 1: vibing together, man, and trying to learn the defense and

592
00:26:02,119 --> 00:26:04,760
Speaker 1: growing together. Yeah, you're new, You're no stranger to the

593
00:26:04,760 --> 00:26:06,200
Speaker 1: game of the NFL. You've been in the league a

594
00:26:06,240 --> 00:26:08,040
Speaker 1: number of year years, are veteran yourself, and you've seen

595
00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:10,440
Speaker 1: this team a lot of times, especially during your time

596
00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:13,560
Speaker 1: with jacksonvill what's it like now to actually face Deshaun

597
00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:15,280
Speaker 1: Watson every single day in practice. You know, that was

598
00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:16,960
Speaker 1: the biggest thing. Man. I actually told my brothers were

599
00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:18,680
Speaker 1: talking about it over the offseason, and I said, playing

600
00:26:18,680 --> 00:26:22,879
Speaker 1: against them, you know you're talk to to you know,

601
00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:25,480
Speaker 1: expose a guy's weaknesses and things like that. But when

602
00:26:25,480 --> 00:26:27,879
Speaker 1: you're going against him every day, you start noticing that strengths.

603
00:26:27,880 --> 00:26:29,959
Speaker 1: And I had to look back and say, dang, man,

604
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:31,639
Speaker 1: this dude, this dude, don't go out a weakness. He

605
00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:32,960
Speaker 1: can hurt you with his feet, he can hurt you

606
00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:34,919
Speaker 1: his arm. And a thing about it now was just

607
00:26:35,040 --> 00:26:37,479
Speaker 1: he's so confident back there right now. And the biggest

608
00:26:37,520 --> 00:26:38,840
Speaker 1: thing that I can say and I can take away

609
00:26:38,840 --> 00:26:41,240
Speaker 1: from him is that, beyond anything else, I'm glad that

610
00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:42,960
Speaker 1: I'm playing with him and out against him. No more

611
00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:45,320
Speaker 1: so having a guy like that. While I'm sitting on

612
00:26:45,320 --> 00:26:47,560
Speaker 1: the sideline drinking my gay raade, man, I knowing that

613
00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:50,400
Speaker 1: seven points man is gonna be on the board anytime now.

614
00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:52,040
Speaker 1: So you know, I could sit back, kick my feet

615
00:26:52,119 --> 00:26:54,280
Speaker 1: up and say, hey, if you don't score seven points,

616
00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:56,679
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be disappointed. That's how excited I having to

617
00:26:56,720 --> 00:26:58,679
Speaker 1: have a guy like that on my side, and going

618
00:26:58,720 --> 00:27:01,040
Speaker 1: against him. You notice that, man, this guy right here,

619
00:27:01,240 --> 00:27:03,040
Speaker 1: it's a trapasy that they don't mention him and these

620
00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:06,120
Speaker 1: MVP talks. Man, because seeing what I see now, I mean,

621
00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:07,919
Speaker 1: and I'm not saying this because he's my quarterback, but

622
00:27:07,920 --> 00:27:09,720
Speaker 1: I'm saying it because I truly respect his game. I

623
00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:12,679
Speaker 1: have since he came into the league. But now you

624
00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:14,879
Speaker 1: see it firsthand day to day, and you know, you

625
00:27:14,880 --> 00:27:16,720
Speaker 1: get to learn guys like that and you start seeing

626
00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:19,000
Speaker 1: like mentes, guys, he's gonna have a bad day. I mean,

627
00:27:19,040 --> 00:27:20,879
Speaker 1: I think there any quarterback will any guy in this

628
00:27:20,960 --> 00:27:22,880
Speaker 1: league do, but just the things that he can do

629
00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:24,840
Speaker 1: in a day in the day out, based the consistency,

630
00:27:25,040 --> 00:27:27,000
Speaker 1: I mean, it's phenomenal. Man. You gotta tip your head

631
00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:28,240
Speaker 1: off to a guy like that. He'd come in, he

632
00:27:28,320 --> 00:27:30,560
Speaker 1: humbled when he do his job, and I respect that. Yeah,

633
00:27:30,560 --> 00:27:33,760
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson phenomenal. His targets out of here. Also, it's

634
00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:36,440
Speaker 1: pretty phenomenal. You came here and I remember you saying

635
00:27:36,480 --> 00:27:38,679
Speaker 1: that you know your strength is covering tight ends, and

636
00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:40,560
Speaker 1: that's a big reason why the Texans brought you here.

637
00:27:40,560 --> 00:27:42,320
Speaker 1: But you're getting a lot of work in against these

638
00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:44,359
Speaker 1: tight ends. You the big group of guys. What does

639
00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:47,920
Speaker 1: that challenge like facing the guys like Jordan Thomas, Jordan Aikins,

640
00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:49,800
Speaker 1: Darren Fells. Yeah, you know that was one of the

641
00:27:49,840 --> 00:27:51,560
Speaker 1: things when I have my pressure, man, I say, man,

642
00:27:51,600 --> 00:27:53,760
Speaker 1: these guys are getting bigger and faster. I look at

643
00:27:53,840 --> 00:27:56,280
Speaker 1: I didn't realize I played against Jordan Thomas, but seeing

644
00:27:56,359 --> 00:27:59,160
Speaker 1: him like outside his past included is just like, dude,

645
00:27:59,160 --> 00:28:01,760
Speaker 1: as a huge human man, he should have played basketball.

646
00:28:01,760 --> 00:28:03,600
Speaker 1: You gotta guy like fails. These guys are all big

647
00:28:03,680 --> 00:28:06,520
Speaker 1: human beings and he's using those guys and I think that,

648
00:28:06,680 --> 00:28:08,560
Speaker 1: Like I told, man, I talked to Jordan Thomas off

649
00:28:08,560 --> 00:28:10,159
Speaker 1: the field every day and I try to tell him

650
00:28:10,200 --> 00:28:12,359
Speaker 1: tools and things to get better, like, look, this is

651
00:28:12,359 --> 00:28:14,040
Speaker 1: what I'm doing, and this is what I see against you.

652
00:28:14,280 --> 00:28:16,320
Speaker 1: And he's starting to grow, man, and he's getting better.

653
00:28:16,520 --> 00:28:18,400
Speaker 1: He caught two passes on me one on once today,

654
00:28:18,440 --> 00:28:21,960
Speaker 1: which is unacceptable, so unacceptable. So you we got to

655
00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:24,080
Speaker 1: hear about that. But you know, things like that, man,

656
00:28:24,119 --> 00:28:26,200
Speaker 1: while seeing the growth from when I first got here

657
00:28:26,359 --> 00:28:28,919
Speaker 1: and just he's telling me, hey, how are you pressing

658
00:28:28,960 --> 00:28:30,840
Speaker 1: me like this? What are you seeing it? To hear

659
00:28:30,920 --> 00:28:32,919
Speaker 1: him accept this coaching and I'm giving him. I mean,

660
00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:34,520
Speaker 1: because like I told him, when it comes to man

661
00:28:34,560 --> 00:28:35,879
Speaker 1: and man, man, they don't get no better than me.

662
00:28:35,920 --> 00:28:37,840
Speaker 1: So you get this tool right here every day and

663
00:28:37,960 --> 00:28:39,600
Speaker 1: for him to come in here and grow him and

664
00:28:39,640 --> 00:28:42,240
Speaker 1: acting those guys. Man, those guys is just progressing a

665
00:28:42,240 --> 00:28:44,480
Speaker 1: little short time that I've been on them. They're progressive, man,

666
00:28:44,520 --> 00:28:46,200
Speaker 1: So I'm excited to see what they're gonna go against

667
00:28:46,360 --> 00:28:49,600
Speaker 1: other safeties that's not thirty nine. So I'm excited about

668
00:28:49,640 --> 00:28:51,600
Speaker 1: those guys. Man. Those guys are making me better because

669
00:28:51,640 --> 00:28:54,400
Speaker 1: those guys are young, agile, athletic, and those guys are

670
00:28:54,400 --> 00:28:56,120
Speaker 1: go getters. Man. And at the same time, it's kind

671
00:28:56,120 --> 00:28:58,239
Speaker 1: of like that old saying arn Chopper arm and that's

672
00:28:58,240 --> 00:28:59,560
Speaker 1: what we're doing out here, man. And I want to

673
00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:01,040
Speaker 1: help those guys get better. Man. I want to help

674
00:29:01,040 --> 00:29:03,120
Speaker 1: those guys achieve everything. And those guys are gonna make

675
00:29:03,160 --> 00:29:05,680
Speaker 1: me better as well. How about this defensive front, JJ

676
00:29:05,800 --> 00:29:08,760
Speaker 1: Watt and these guys making you better, Deshaun, He's annoying

677
00:29:08,760 --> 00:29:10,800
Speaker 1: when he's out there. This defense is annoying when JJ

678
00:29:10,840 --> 00:29:12,720
Speaker 1: Watts out there. How much does that help where you

679
00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:14,560
Speaker 1: guys do on the back? Oh? Man, there were so

680
00:29:14,600 --> 00:29:17,840
Speaker 1: many plays that you look back and you say, I mean,

681
00:29:18,760 --> 00:29:21,240
Speaker 1: ninety nine and fifty nine and ninety one. Those guys

682
00:29:21,240 --> 00:29:22,840
Speaker 1: are back there all the time, and it's just like

683
00:29:22,960 --> 00:29:24,840
Speaker 1: it might look like a completion, but when the pads

684
00:29:24,880 --> 00:29:27,440
Speaker 1: on and the bullets alive, ninety nine probably gonna take

685
00:29:27,480 --> 00:29:29,880
Speaker 1: him down and you know, five nine gonna get them

686
00:29:29,880 --> 00:29:31,400
Speaker 1: to him. And I think that when you have that

687
00:29:31,440 --> 00:29:34,680
Speaker 1: type of presence up there, and I mean, I mean,

688
00:29:34,720 --> 00:29:37,120
Speaker 1: it's insane. And we're doing this without the pass on

689
00:29:37,200 --> 00:29:38,680
Speaker 1: right now, So I measure when the pads are coming,

690
00:29:39,120 --> 00:29:41,040
Speaker 1: and you know, you just sit back and you gotta

691
00:29:41,080 --> 00:29:43,160
Speaker 1: be in all of those guys, especially that D line.

692
00:29:43,200 --> 00:29:45,360
Speaker 1: I mean, it's some true dogs down there right now.

693
00:29:45,680 --> 00:29:48,000
Speaker 1: And I'm excited to play with that. I'm excited. Man.

694
00:29:48,040 --> 00:29:50,840
Speaker 1: You start realizing, like how many times that a defensive

695
00:29:50,840 --> 00:29:52,760
Speaker 1: line can affect the game. A guy might be beat,

696
00:29:52,800 --> 00:29:54,920
Speaker 1: but ninety nine is being down your back. You might

697
00:29:54,960 --> 00:29:56,720
Speaker 1: not have time to see that big post down the middle.

698
00:29:56,840 --> 00:29:58,959
Speaker 1: You might not have time to go through all your progressions.

699
00:29:59,160 --> 00:30:01,120
Speaker 1: And that's just so so beneficial for us on the

700
00:30:01,160 --> 00:30:02,800
Speaker 1: back end. And the only thing we gotta do is

701
00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:05,120
Speaker 1: continue to step up progress, get to know each other

702
00:30:05,240 --> 00:30:07,040
Speaker 1: because we know the front seven is gonna do their thing.

703
00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:09,120
Speaker 1: And it's exciting to have some guys like that plan

704
00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:10,600
Speaker 1: with guys like that, man, And I'm blessed to be

705
00:30:10,640 --> 00:30:12,520
Speaker 1: a part of this organization. I feel like this is

706
00:30:12,520 --> 00:30:14,920
Speaker 1: your time to shine. You were undrafted, you've made your

707
00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:17,120
Speaker 1: way under the roster and a big part of every

708
00:30:17,120 --> 00:30:19,040
Speaker 1: single team that you've been a part of. So what's

709
00:30:19,040 --> 00:30:21,080
Speaker 1: your biggest piece of advice to guys that are trying

710
00:30:21,080 --> 00:30:22,680
Speaker 1: to make the team right nowt in camp? You know,

711
00:30:22,760 --> 00:30:25,120
Speaker 1: the biggest thing is do you know, older guy man?

712
00:30:25,200 --> 00:30:27,680
Speaker 1: You Simon Young told me it's yet control what you

713
00:30:27,680 --> 00:30:30,480
Speaker 1: can control, control the controllables, and don't worry about everything else.

714
00:30:30,600 --> 00:30:32,480
Speaker 1: And I think that a lot of guys get into

715
00:30:32,520 --> 00:30:35,200
Speaker 1: the it's a competition when you as soon as you

716
00:30:35,240 --> 00:30:36,760
Speaker 1: walk in a bid, and whether it's in the weight room,

717
00:30:36,880 --> 00:30:38,640
Speaker 1: whether it's how fast you eat your lunch, whether it's

718
00:30:38,680 --> 00:30:40,120
Speaker 1: how quick you get to the meet. Everything is a

719
00:30:40,160 --> 00:30:43,200
Speaker 1: competition everything, I promise you, and you know, guys too

720
00:30:43,240 --> 00:30:45,160
Speaker 1: much put too much focus on that instead of looking

721
00:30:45,200 --> 00:30:46,800
Speaker 1: at the main thing. It's what you're doing here, and

722
00:30:46,800 --> 00:30:49,000
Speaker 1: that's what you're gonna get jugged off. And when you control.

723
00:30:49,160 --> 00:30:51,040
Speaker 1: If you get two reps that day, that might not

724
00:30:51,080 --> 00:30:53,360
Speaker 1: be idea, but you control those two reps and whatever

725
00:30:53,400 --> 00:30:55,640
Speaker 1: you can do, man, control the controllables. Man. And that

726
00:30:55,720 --> 00:30:57,040
Speaker 1: was one of the things that he taught me man,

727
00:30:57,080 --> 00:30:59,120
Speaker 1: because I was a young guy in these guys situation

728
00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:01,120
Speaker 1: and I'm just like, I'm getting three reps a day.

729
00:31:01,360 --> 00:31:03,080
Speaker 1: What do I do? You know, you start getting frustrating.

730
00:31:03,040 --> 00:31:06,440
Speaker 1: You human, everybody's human, and you're gonna continue to you know,

731
00:31:06,520 --> 00:31:08,680
Speaker 1: people are fighting for that live. This is people childhood

732
00:31:08,760 --> 00:31:10,560
Speaker 1: dreams since that was seven. And the biggest thing is,

733
00:31:10,560 --> 00:31:12,080
Speaker 1: even if you get those two reps, those better to

734
00:31:12,080 --> 00:31:14,200
Speaker 1: be the two best reps that you know you put

735
00:31:14,200 --> 00:31:16,880
Speaker 1: out there on tape. And eventually one thing is for certain,

736
00:31:17,600 --> 00:31:19,720
Speaker 1: the honor Scott won't lie. Somebody's gonna see it, whether

737
00:31:19,760 --> 00:31:21,640
Speaker 1: it's not here somewhere. And I told those guys, man,

738
00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:23,880
Speaker 1: I talk to the guys every year. Man. You know,

739
00:31:23,880 --> 00:31:25,840
Speaker 1: I get up and I try to tell the undrafted

740
00:31:25,840 --> 00:31:28,200
Speaker 1: guys specifically in my room, and don't worry about nothing else.

741
00:31:28,240 --> 00:31:30,200
Speaker 1: Don't worry about, don't worry about. I can only give

742
00:31:30,200 --> 00:31:31,720
Speaker 1: you inside of my story. Don't try to be me,

743
00:31:31,760 --> 00:31:33,440
Speaker 1: try to be better than me. Don't try to follow

744
00:31:33,440 --> 00:31:35,440
Speaker 1: my footsteps, make your own. You. The only thing that

745
00:31:35,440 --> 00:31:36,720
Speaker 1: I can do is give you the knowledge that I

746
00:31:36,760 --> 00:31:38,760
Speaker 1: know and pass it on to you. So with those guys, man,

747
00:31:38,800 --> 00:31:40,800
Speaker 1: we got a good group of young guys on drafted guys. Man.

748
00:31:40,840 --> 00:31:42,720
Speaker 1: I feel like they guys gonna make their impact whether

749
00:31:42,840 --> 00:31:44,880
Speaker 1: here are somewhere, man, And I'm just here happy that

750
00:31:44,920 --> 00:31:46,520
Speaker 1: I can get those guys any type of knowledge that

751
00:31:46,560 --> 00:31:48,240
Speaker 1: they need for me. All right, one more question for it.

752
00:31:48,320 --> 00:31:49,920
Speaker 1: Let you go, because you're a great coach, and I've

753
00:31:49,920 --> 00:31:52,840
Speaker 1: seen some of your social media with your son junior

754
00:31:52,880 --> 00:31:55,920
Speaker 1: to Sean Gibson junior. All right, well, how's his football

755
00:31:55,960 --> 00:31:58,920
Speaker 1: career coming along so far? See, last year we left,

756
00:31:59,080 --> 00:32:02,840
Speaker 1: he just turned seven, so we laid on nine and touchdowns.

757
00:32:02,920 --> 00:32:05,320
Speaker 1: Last year we played with his age group, so he

758
00:32:05,600 --> 00:32:09,040
Speaker 1: just scored about twenty nine testdowns. I got the bullard

759
00:32:09,040 --> 00:32:11,520
Speaker 1: to prove it, and I got the video. So anytime

760
00:32:11,560 --> 00:32:13,400
Speaker 1: somebody won one game, no no, no, no, no no over

761
00:32:13,400 --> 00:32:15,440
Speaker 1: the season. So over the season. So we're looking at

762
00:32:15,800 --> 00:32:18,200
Speaker 1: so you know, three testdowns a game is kind of unacceptable.

763
00:32:18,200 --> 00:32:20,080
Speaker 1: What we take it this year? This year out here,

764
00:32:20,120 --> 00:32:22,080
Speaker 1: we're gonna put him in a nine another. He's gonna

765
00:32:22,080 --> 00:32:24,480
Speaker 1: be with the nine another. I'm definitely I'm gonna let

766
00:32:24,520 --> 00:32:26,080
Speaker 1: you guys, and I'm gonna keep you posted. I'm gonna

767
00:32:26,120 --> 00:32:28,520
Speaker 1: keep you guys updated on my social media. But it's

768
00:32:28,520 --> 00:32:30,840
Speaker 1: Texas football now, so it's a little different. But that's

769
00:32:30,880 --> 00:32:32,640
Speaker 1: my guy, man. I love him the dead and you

770
00:32:32,640 --> 00:32:34,240
Speaker 1: know I'm gonna push him. So we're in the big

771
00:32:34,320 --> 00:32:36,680
Speaker 1: leagues now, first year in contact football, so we're excited.

772

780
00:32:56,800 --> 00:32:59,600
Speaker 1: wants to make a market cornerback. You're gonna see him

781
00:32:59,640 --> 00:33:02,720

782
00:33:02,840 --> 00:33:06,320
Speaker 1: questions with Johnson Battamosi. Okay, we got Johnson Battamosi here

783
00:33:06,400 --> 00:33:10,160
Speaker 1: defensive backs, special teamer, jack of all trades, Stanford X.

784
00:33:10,200 --> 00:33:11,760
Speaker 1: You're one of many on this team. It's what's your

785
00:33:11,760 --> 00:33:14,680
Speaker 1: best football trade? I mean, my speed is definitely something

786
00:33:14,720 --> 00:33:16,680
Speaker 1: that's elite, I think, and so I think that's a

787
00:33:16,680 --> 00:33:18,680
Speaker 1: good trade of mine. What's the must pack item for

788
00:33:18,720 --> 00:33:22,080
Speaker 1: training camp? Must pack item? I bought a book with

789
00:33:22,120 --> 00:33:25,280
Speaker 1: me It's becoming. It's a good one. Okay, you always

790
00:33:25,280 --> 00:33:28,000
Speaker 1: got a book going. I try which teammate talks the

791
00:33:28,040 --> 00:33:30,760
Speaker 1: most trash. I talk a lot of as trash, and

792
00:33:30,800 --> 00:33:32,959
Speaker 1: so I don't I don't know who can match my tempo.

793
00:33:33,120 --> 00:33:36,320
Speaker 1: But I would say me, I've seen you on punt

794
00:33:36,320 --> 00:33:38,440
Speaker 1: coverage and I see a lot of times you're you're

795
00:33:38,520 --> 00:33:40,360
Speaker 1: kind of gigging guys on the other team. Some of

796
00:33:40,360 --> 00:33:42,800
Speaker 1: it looks playful, some of it looks serious. Yeah, I

797
00:33:42,840 --> 00:33:45,000
Speaker 1: mean it's all fun and games and what are they

798
00:33:45,040 --> 00:33:47,400
Speaker 1: call it gamesmanship? It's part of the game. Anybody in

799
00:33:47,400 --> 00:33:49,320
Speaker 1: particular here on this team that you messed with more

800
00:33:49,320 --> 00:33:51,720
Speaker 1: than anybody else. Me and Deshaunton to have conversations when

801
00:33:51,880 --> 00:33:53,800
Speaker 1: on the oppsit the field. He says, this is the mic,

802
00:33:53,840 --> 00:33:55,320
Speaker 1: And you know, sometimes I want to be the mics

803
00:33:55,320 --> 00:33:57,640
Speaker 1: and said, I know I'm the mic, or I see

804
00:33:57,680 --> 00:34:00,320
Speaker 1: he's standing the field and lost with the car are

805
00:34:00,360 --> 00:34:03,000
Speaker 1: doing and I'll make our contact with them and we

806
00:34:03,080 --> 00:34:07,160
Speaker 1: have our little side conversations. But yeah, it's good to know. Okay,

807
00:34:07,160 --> 00:34:11,359
Speaker 1: what's a typical breakfast for you? Like eggs, oatmeal? Water?

808
00:34:11,920 --> 00:34:15,440
Speaker 1: You scrambled eggs, guy, scrambled eggs, maybe some TEA favorite

809
00:34:15,480 --> 00:34:19,640
Speaker 1: retired NFL player is Wow, that's that's tough. That's tough.

810
00:34:19,680 --> 00:34:22,840
Speaker 1: I think Dale Green is a is a from Houston

811
00:34:23,000 --> 00:34:27,440
Speaker 1: play for the Redskins for maybe twenty years. Hall of Famer.

812
00:34:27,680 --> 00:34:31,360
Speaker 1: I'd also say maybe a Jackie Slater. Both grate football

813
00:34:31,360 --> 00:34:34,680
Speaker 1: players but also great men that I've met. Ed Reid.

814
00:34:35,200 --> 00:34:37,279
Speaker 1: I'm a Maryland guy, so I loved watching him play

815
00:34:37,280 --> 00:34:39,399
Speaker 1: for years and he's a great man as well. Two

816
00:34:39,400 --> 00:34:41,239
Speaker 1: men in the name those are three good ones. Man,

817
00:34:41,280 --> 00:34:43,359
Speaker 1: you went back. He had some recency there with Ed Reid.

818
00:34:43,400 --> 00:34:46,040
Speaker 1: That's a I like that list. It's solid. Okay. Best

819
00:34:46,080 --> 00:34:49,600
Speaker 1: hair on the Texans belongs to best hair on the Texans.

820
00:34:50,239 --> 00:34:55,759
Speaker 1: I would say the wide receiver coach best hair, John Perry. Yes,

821
00:34:55,880 --> 00:34:58,080
Speaker 1: John Perry has the best hair on the Texans. Okay,

822
00:34:58,080 --> 00:35:01,080
Speaker 1: tidiest Texan is I think. I mean, I don't look

823
00:35:01,080 --> 00:35:02,560
Speaker 1: at his locker, but I look at what he's wearing,

824
00:35:02,600 --> 00:35:05,560
Speaker 1: and he's pretty clean. DeShawn, there's the messiest. You know,

825
00:35:05,560 --> 00:35:07,719
Speaker 1: when I come into building, my locker is clean. During

826
00:35:07,760 --> 00:35:09,759
Speaker 1: the middle of the day, there might be you know,

827
00:35:09,840 --> 00:35:12,120
Speaker 1: a couple of things here and there, but I try

828
00:35:12,120 --> 00:35:13,520
Speaker 1: to clean it up by the end of the day.

829
00:35:13,600 --> 00:35:15,840
Speaker 1: So that's a good non answer. You kind of you

830
00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:18,719
Speaker 1: kind of put it on yourself, but you didn't. You

831
00:35:18,719 --> 00:35:20,920
Speaker 1: didn't want to go towards Benardrick McKinney because he's kind

832
00:35:20,960 --> 00:35:22,640
Speaker 1: of like the guy that gets it named by all

833
00:35:22,640 --> 00:35:24,640
Speaker 1: your other team. He's a middle linebacker, so you've got

834
00:35:24,640 --> 00:35:27,480
Speaker 1: to be a little nasty as a middle linebacker. And

835
00:35:27,480 --> 00:35:29,160
Speaker 1: then he got guy he has guys in front of

836
00:35:29,200 --> 00:35:31,560
Speaker 1: him in the trenches, so part of their job. But

837
00:35:31,719 --> 00:35:35,240
Speaker 1: I mean, I know myself better than others. So teammate

838
00:35:35,280 --> 00:35:37,360
Speaker 1: that amps you up the most, gets you the most excited.

839
00:35:37,800 --> 00:35:40,680
Speaker 1: A J. Moore. He's making plays and I'm excited for him,

840
00:35:40,680 --> 00:35:42,920
Speaker 1: and when I make plays, he's excited for me. And

841
00:35:43,080 --> 00:35:45,640
Speaker 1: we're pretty close buddies. So I said, and it's really

842
00:35:45,680 --> 00:35:48,560
Speaker 1: no surprise that he's one of the guys. You're one

843
00:35:48,560 --> 00:35:51,120
Speaker 1: of the guys he talks about. You. Guys were so

844
00:35:51,200 --> 00:35:53,239
Speaker 1: much better on coverage than this team was in the

845
00:35:53,280 --> 00:35:55,799
Speaker 1: years prior. Well, I mean, I really can't speak on

846
00:35:56,000 --> 00:35:59,279
Speaker 1: prior years, but I know we got a great group,

847
00:35:59,320 --> 00:36:01,839
Speaker 1: and we have a lot of fun and we work

848
00:36:01,920 --> 00:36:05,120
Speaker 1: hard and you just try to show it on the field.

849
00:36:05,360 --> 00:36:07,279
Speaker 1: So AJ is a teammate that amps you up the most.

850
00:36:07,360 --> 00:36:11,279
Speaker 1: Where's the teammate that calls you down? Aaron Colville? Aaron Colvill, Yeah,

851
00:36:11,280 --> 00:36:13,360
Speaker 1: what's he do? But we just we talked about everything.

852
00:36:13,600 --> 00:36:16,840
Speaker 1: We talked about everything from ball to life to family,

853
00:36:17,040 --> 00:36:20,319
Speaker 1: to what we're thinking, to what we you know, might

854
00:36:20,360 --> 00:36:22,279
Speaker 1: have done on our time off, and so we just

855
00:36:22,280 --> 00:36:24,440
Speaker 1: have a lot of great conversations. Where'd you go on

856
00:36:24,520 --> 00:36:26,120
Speaker 1: your time off? I got to spend a lot of

857
00:36:26,160 --> 00:36:29,120
Speaker 1: time at home. So I'm from born in Washington, DC,

858
00:36:29,440 --> 00:36:31,640
Speaker 1: grew up in Silver Spring, Maryland. So I got to

859
00:36:31,640 --> 00:36:33,480
Speaker 1: go back to my high school, can Dada College High

860
00:36:33,480 --> 00:36:35,480
Speaker 1: School and spending time there. Got to go see some

861
00:36:35,640 --> 00:36:38,920
Speaker 1: old coaches and teachers, and so I was excited about that.

862
00:36:39,440 --> 00:36:41,920
Speaker 1: If ten year old Johnson BATAMOSEI saw what you were

863
00:36:41,920 --> 00:36:43,719
Speaker 1: doing right now? How would he react? You think a

864
00:36:43,840 --> 00:36:46,640
Speaker 1: ten year old? I think I started playing football when

865
00:36:46,640 --> 00:36:49,680
Speaker 1: I was about ten years old, right before I turned eleven,

866
00:36:49,880 --> 00:36:52,359
Speaker 1: and so i'd probably I don't know if i'd believe it.

867
00:36:52,840 --> 00:36:54,759
Speaker 1: I don't know if I believe it coming from where

868
00:36:54,800 --> 00:36:57,800
Speaker 1: I came from, coming all the way to Houston, Secon

869
00:36:57,920 --> 00:37:01,120
Speaker 1: still playing football at twenty nine years old. It's almost

870
00:37:01,600 --> 00:37:05,799
Speaker 1: almost twenty years later, So I'd be proud. Favorite TV

871
00:37:05,880 --> 00:37:08,440
Speaker 1: show now is That's tough, but I haven't watched as

872
00:37:08,520 --> 00:37:10,839
Speaker 1: much TV lately. There's a there's a girl that went

873
00:37:10,840 --> 00:37:13,000
Speaker 1: to stand from Her name is Ray and she's put

874
00:37:13,000 --> 00:37:15,680
Speaker 1: a couple of shows on HBO and so she's probably

875
00:37:15,719 --> 00:37:18,080
Speaker 1: my favorite director. But she creates a bunch of great stow.

876
00:37:18,280 --> 00:37:19,920
Speaker 1: You go to school with her at Stanford. I just

877
00:37:20,000 --> 00:37:21,560
Speaker 1: missed her. I just missed her. But she has a

878
00:37:21,600 --> 00:37:24,400
Speaker 1: show on HBO called and Secure show Ball from Black Girl.

879
00:37:24,440 --> 00:37:27,319
Speaker 1: They're both amazing, amazing show. They're very relatable. So so

880
00:37:27,320 --> 00:37:29,080
Speaker 1: that's what you'd watch now. What was your favorite show

881
00:37:29,080 --> 00:37:30,840
Speaker 1: when you're growing up? My favorite show when I was

882
00:37:30,880 --> 00:37:33,960
Speaker 1: growing up. I loved Rugrats last one. What's the favorite

883
00:37:33,960 --> 00:37:36,960
Speaker 1: part of training camp? My favorite part of training camp

884
00:37:37,080 --> 00:37:41,600
Speaker 1: is when like after our super hard practice, like taking out,

885
00:37:41,600 --> 00:37:43,880
Speaker 1: walking back to the locker room, being able to just

886
00:37:43,920 --> 00:37:46,560
Speaker 1: relax and like you get a shower and then get

887
00:37:46,560 --> 00:37:48,480
Speaker 1: some like a long time. I'd say that's those are

888
00:37:48,520 --> 00:37:50,520
Speaker 1: some of my favorite parts of transfer, in addition to

889
00:37:50,600 --> 00:37:55,600
Speaker 1: doing a twelve questions interview right before all that, right, yeah, exactly, yeah, yeah,

894
00:38:05,840 --> 00:38:08,600
Speaker 1: come alive. I mean, this guy has made play after

895
00:38:08,760 --> 00:38:12,239
Speaker 1: play and building his career toward a Pro Bowl appearance

896
00:38:12,360 --> 00:38:16,080
Speaker 1: last year, looking for even bigger things. He's really improved

897
00:38:16,080 --> 00:38:18,680
Speaker 1: his coverage skills. You know, he's a thumper. He's always

898
00:38:18,680 --> 00:38:22,120
Speaker 1: been that dpcity who visited with Bernardric after a hot

899
00:38:22,160 --> 00:38:24,439
Speaker 1: day of camp in Houston. I just saw you walk

900
00:38:24,480 --> 00:38:28,239
Speaker 1: out of the CRZ the cool Recovery Zone. Is your

901
00:38:28,239 --> 00:38:31,680
Speaker 1: first time in it, obviously, my first time in the field.

902
00:38:32,360 --> 00:38:35,280
Speaker 1: Really great. How long do you stay in it? However,

903
00:38:35,320 --> 00:38:39,239
Speaker 1: you wont whenever you feel like you cool down, you

904
00:38:39,280 --> 00:38:41,439
Speaker 1: can get up. So do you feel cool down after

905
00:38:41,480 --> 00:38:43,680
Speaker 1: practicing in full pads? I feel really great. I was

906
00:38:43,760 --> 00:38:46,719
Speaker 1: kind of exhausted, but getting out of there feels really great.

907
00:38:46,760 --> 00:38:49,960
Speaker 1: I got to knock the rust off. Still kind of uh,

908
00:38:50,480 --> 00:38:53,160
