00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:31,720
Speaker 1: Big addition via trade from the Texans backfield. I mentioned

11
00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:34,720
Speaker 1: this earlier this week. Thirty three touchdowns last three years.

12
00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:37,800
Speaker 1: That's six more than the entire Texans running back stable.

13
00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:41,520
Speaker 1: That's a lot of teds hopes to keep that going.

14
00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:44,879
Speaker 1: And we made a video with David Montgomery. It's not

00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:50,920
Speaker 1: bunch of questions and you'll see this later on YouTube,

17
00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:54,000
Speaker 1: but let's get to the audio because it's good stuff

18
00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:57,280
Speaker 1: here from the new Texans running back David Montgomery. David

19
00:00:57,280 --> 00:01:01,400
Speaker 1: described to me your feelings about becoming a Houston Texan,

20
00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:03,440
Speaker 1: this whole transaction and ribbing in Houston.

21
00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:07,319
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think I couldn't think of a more ideal

22
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:10,080
Speaker 2: place to be, you know the way that they everybody

23
00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:12,720
Speaker 2: kind brought me in. I play Houston a couple of

24
00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:15,520
Speaker 2: times in my career and it has always been a

25
00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:16,920
Speaker 2: gun show going back and forth.

26
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:19,400
Speaker 3: But I'm excited to be here, honestly.

27
00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:22,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, I remember some of that action as well. Uh,

28
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:25,800
Speaker 1: a lot of success. So what are the Texans getting

29
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:27,760
Speaker 1: and what are the fans seeing when you take the

30
00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:29,720
Speaker 1: field as a running back? Talk about your game and

31
00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:31,160
Speaker 1: what you bring to the table a little bit.

32
00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:35,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, definitely bringing like somebody who's got a a relentless

33
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:41,199
Speaker 2: passion to wanna win. You know, somebody who powerful, of course,

34
00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:44,920
Speaker 2: but a lot more limber than people think too. And

35
00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:48,480
Speaker 2: there's the fans likes somebody who's really fun, you know,

36
00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:51,440
Speaker 2: charismatic and brings a lot of energy.

37
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:54,120
Speaker 1: How do you see a role as a leader on

38
00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:56,640
Speaker 1: this team? All the teams you've been on, but bringing

39
00:01:56,680 --> 00:01:59,360
Speaker 1: what you have to the Houston Texans in the locker room?

40
00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:01,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm I'm a lot I'm a little bit older.

41
00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:05,280
Speaker 2: I ain't gonna say a lot older, but going into

42
00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:09,359
Speaker 2: my eighth year, I'm just coming to be like myself.

43
00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:11,480
Speaker 2: I mean, I think myself has been enough for for

44
00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:15,120
Speaker 2: the teams I've been on previous two. You know, I

45
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:17,320
Speaker 2: don't know how to hide or shot coat anything. I

46
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:20,679
Speaker 2: don't know how to be myself. So definitely gonna bring

47
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:23,680
Speaker 2: somebody who's gonna leave by example, but also will be

48
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:24,600
Speaker 2: vocal on I need.

49
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:24,919
Speaker 3: To be too.

50
00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:28,400
Speaker 1: It's no secret we have some cyclones on this team.

51
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:31,120
Speaker 1: So what about that aspect of it. Not that you

52
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:34,600
Speaker 1: overlapped with all these guys necessarily, but you got that

53
00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:36,360
Speaker 1: Iowa State flavor here with Houston.

54
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:37,320
Speaker 3: Nah, yeah, for sure.

55
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:40,240
Speaker 2: Uh, it's definitely in a minute's gonna be cyclone you

56
00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:45,160
Speaker 2: But I haven't played with those guys, but any guy

57
00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:47,200
Speaker 2: who kind of played under coach Campbell.

58
00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:49,200
Speaker 3: I know what kind of guys they are.

59
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:53,360
Speaker 2: And you know, I feel like us being from playing

60
00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:55,880
Speaker 2: at Iowa State and being cyclones. We we kind of

61
00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:58,040
Speaker 2: carry a a chip on our shoulders cause cause we

62
00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:00,720
Speaker 2: kind of were cast out and i was State wasn't

63
00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:02,480
Speaker 2: always the first place that people always wanted to go,

64
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:05,000
Speaker 2: but we flipped the script there, and you know, for

65
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:06,400
Speaker 2: me to be a part of the first team to

66
00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:08,840
Speaker 2: start that and those guys being at some of the

67
00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:11,399
Speaker 2: milestones and to keep pieces to changing it as well.

68
00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:13,360
Speaker 2: I think it's super cool for me to be here

69
00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:15,560
Speaker 2: and feel like I'm around those guys Again.

70
00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:18,920
Speaker 1: A lot of people say that you should get the

71
00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:23,160
Speaker 1: credit for what happened at Iowa, Stay big, turnaround. Now,

72
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:24,520
Speaker 1: I know you're not the kind of guy who's gonna

73
00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:26,680
Speaker 1: take all the credit, But what did you bring there?

74
00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:30,320
Speaker 1: What was important to you about changing or evolving that

75
00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:32,079
Speaker 1: whole thing there in Ames.

76
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:33,520
Speaker 3: I'm gonna be honest with you.

77
00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:36,040
Speaker 2: When I came in, like I had no intention to

78
00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:40,080
Speaker 2: try to like change anything. Like I was just trying

79
00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:42,160
Speaker 2: to be the best version of myself I could be.

80
00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:44,680
Speaker 1: What about the culture here, what do you know about it?

81
00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:47,960
Speaker 1: Coach Demiko Ryan's and everything he's done for this team

82
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:48,880
Speaker 1: and continues to do.

83
00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:52,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's funny that I ended up in a place

84
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:55,640
Speaker 2: that's kind of similar. But when I was in Detraite,

85
00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:59,080
Speaker 2: coach Kimpbell, you would talk about coach Ryant all the

86
00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:02,120
Speaker 2: time when we had joint practices or like when he

87
00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:05,400
Speaker 2: was referring to another coach, he always talking about Coach Ryan.

88
00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:07,560
Speaker 2: So now just to kind of be under and kind

89
00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:09,560
Speaker 2: of see it be a part of the whole shift now,

90
00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:12,640
Speaker 2: Like I'm super excited. And I know like he also

91
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:16,000
Speaker 2: played too at a high level, high caliber player too,

92
00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:18,680
Speaker 2: so he also understands what it's like to be a

93
00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:19,280
Speaker 2: player also.

94
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:21,040
Speaker 3: So I think, you.

95
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:23,120
Speaker 2: Know, being in a situation to where you're under a

96
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:25,359
Speaker 2: guy who's been a part of it, and he's passionate

97
00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:27,720
Speaker 2: and you can see it as he coaches, that's something

98
00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:28,600
Speaker 2: that you wanna play for.

99
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:31,320
Speaker 1: What do you remember about the joint practices with the

100
00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:32,200
Speaker 1: Houston Texans?

101
00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:34,560
Speaker 2: A lot of hitting, a lot of hitting. The boy

102
00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:37,440
Speaker 2: could fly around too. It's the best defense I've played

103
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:39,480
Speaker 2: for multiple years that I've been able to play them

104
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:41,560
Speaker 2: joint and being able to play 'em in the game

105
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:45,159
Speaker 2: we snuck away with a win a couple of years ago. Yeah,

106
00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:48,239
Speaker 2: so it's super cool on that I'm playing this defense

107
00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:48,800
Speaker 2: every day.

108
00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:52,760
Speaker 1: Your growth and evolution as a player, what has happened

109
00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:55,400
Speaker 1: in the NFL that's made you better as the years

110
00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:57,479
Speaker 1: go by, Because here you are in your eighth year.

111
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:02,160
Speaker 2: I think it's like the years where y you didn't

112
00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:03,840
Speaker 2: have the best success.

113
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:05,880
Speaker 3: Or, like everything wasn't really going your way.

114
00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:08,320
Speaker 2: You know, you find out so much more about yourself

115
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:10,680
Speaker 2: than you knew that you were actually capable of.

116
00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:11,000
Speaker 4: Uh.

117
00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:12,839
Speaker 3: I feel like I I'm a firm believer.

118
00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:14,320
Speaker 2: That like you don't learn as much as you do

119
00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:17,720
Speaker 2: winning as you do losing, and like losing itself, not

120
00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:21,640
Speaker 2: in reference to games, but in reference to like just

121
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:24,680
Speaker 2: life in general, like taking losses and being able to

122
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:27,960
Speaker 2: look at them as lessons and not like something I

123
00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:31,320
Speaker 2: lost or something I couldn't improve on. So I think

124
00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:34,440
Speaker 2: just being able to have those years and those times

125
00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:36,960
Speaker 2: around I wasn't the most successful in me being able

126
00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:39,400
Speaker 2: to persevere and look at myself and tell myself, like

127
00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:42,200
Speaker 2: you got more, you can always improve and be better.

128
00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:44,640
Speaker 2: It makes you appreciate the years that you do have good.

129
00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:46,880
Speaker 2: So I guess you could say that's the thing that

130
00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:47,960
Speaker 2: I appreciated the most.

131
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:50,800
Speaker 1: How have you changed what you've done off the field

132
00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:53,120
Speaker 1: to help you as a player, taking care of your body,

133
00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:55,880
Speaker 1: you know, versus when you're a rookie, The way you eat,

134
00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:58,120
Speaker 1: the way you are in the off season.

135
00:05:58,240 --> 00:05:59,360
Speaker 5: Has that changed a lot?

136
00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:00,839
Speaker 3: So much change.

137
00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:03,320
Speaker 2: Drastically, Like when I was a rookie, I can eat

138
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:05,240
Speaker 2: whatever I won, do whatever I want. But now like

139
00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:07,440
Speaker 2: I have a team, like I have my football team,

140
00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:09,479
Speaker 2: that I have my off field team, Like you know,

141
00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:12,640
Speaker 2: I have my chef. You know, I have nutritionis that

142
00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:15,680
Speaker 2: I talk to my my pet. Now I have my

143
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:19,680
Speaker 2: regular trainers. So like that's all year around kind of

144
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:21,719
Speaker 2: thing and all you know, something that I know I

145
00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:24,919
Speaker 2: need as I continue to go throughout this process of

146
00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:26,480
Speaker 2: playing the lead and me getting older.

147
00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:28,479
Speaker 3: Because you know, you start to getting older.

148
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:33,400
Speaker 2: But nah, I'm playing just but also like just being

149
00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:36,000
Speaker 2: more intentional with the things that I put inside of

150
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:38,080
Speaker 2: my body and I do for my body. Also like

151
00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:40,320
Speaker 2: trying to play as long as I can play.

152
00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:45,720
Speaker 1: So what about this system versus Detroit versus the Bears,

153
00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:48,239
Speaker 1: maybe even versus Iowa State. I don't know, but you've

154
00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:51,000
Speaker 1: been through that before, learning a new system or adjusting

155
00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:51,440
Speaker 1: or whatever.

156
00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:52,800
Speaker 5: What can you tell us about that?

157
00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:55,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, I've always been good, like with adjusting. That's just

158
00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:58,040
Speaker 2: my entirety of my life. You know, I've never been

159
00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:01,479
Speaker 2: anywhere where it's like been setting stone or permanent, Like

160
00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:03,480
Speaker 2: even when I was a kid, he's bouncing from home

161
00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:06,600
Speaker 2: to home in high school, bouncing from home to home.

162
00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:10,080
Speaker 2: So there's never been anything I had been good at

163
00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:11,640
Speaker 2: cause it was my environment.

164
00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:15,360
Speaker 1: David in general, what makes a great running back? What

165
00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:18,080
Speaker 1: can you tell us about great running backs? What they have,

166
00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:19,320
Speaker 1: what they bring.

167
00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:21,360
Speaker 2: Be personally they would make a great running back is

168
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:24,720
Speaker 2: not always I don't think about like attributes first.

169
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:25,239
Speaker 3: It's crazy.

170
00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:29,000
Speaker 2: It sounds like I think about like the mentality, like

171
00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:31,080
Speaker 2: cause I you know, like a lot of guys like

172
00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:32,880
Speaker 2: can be fast, can be strong, but don't know I

173
00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:36,200
Speaker 2: apply like they mental and I say, like, the mentality

174
00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:39,720
Speaker 2: is like being able to be in the spot where

175
00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:42,240
Speaker 2: like you feel like you can get out of no

176
00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:45,160
Speaker 2: matter what it looked like, whether it takes you know,

177
00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:48,440
Speaker 2: you being strong, but like the will to not wanna

178
00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:50,880
Speaker 2: be brought down or the will to feel like you

179
00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:53,360
Speaker 2: untouchable where you on the field. Like that's the thing

180
00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:56,240
Speaker 2: that I look for first. And I think the attributes

181
00:07:56,520 --> 00:07:58,040
Speaker 2: adds like cheerios on the toe.

182
00:07:58,360 --> 00:07:58,560
Speaker 3: You know.

183
00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:02,160
Speaker 2: Crazy thing is Anne Foster was one of my favorite

184
00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:05,280
Speaker 2: running backs before when I was growing up. I used

185
00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:08,080
Speaker 2: to watch him all time. He wasn't the fastest, you know,

186
00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:10,840
Speaker 2: he wasn't the strongest. And I feel like I'm that

187
00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:13,600
Speaker 2: kind of guy, you know, but never the fastest, never

188
00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:16,720
Speaker 2: the biggest, never the strongest. But I do believe like

189
00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:18,480
Speaker 2: I'm special on my own right, and I feel like

190
00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:20,920
Speaker 2: you start with a mentality and I think feel like

191
00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:25,160
Speaker 2: everything else outside speed is cool, being strong is cool.

192
00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:27,360
Speaker 3: But if you meet somebody.

193
00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:30,200
Speaker 2: To look you dead in your eye, he gonna tell

194
00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:32,800
Speaker 2: you that you can't stop him, and you can't stop him.

195
00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:35,000
Speaker 3: What that's gonna do to you? That's gonna make your

196
00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:37,120
Speaker 3: mind up. I wanna be that guy.

197
00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:39,360
Speaker 1: How hard is it? You know, your average four and

198
00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:42,080
Speaker 1: a half yards per carry, nice average? How hard is

199
00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:44,720
Speaker 1: it to shake off the I didn't get anything on

200
00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:47,280
Speaker 1: this one, and maybe the blocking, maybe it was whatever

201
00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:50,199
Speaker 1: it was, but you know then you'll pop a big one.

202
00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:52,959
Speaker 1: But to have the patience and the stick to itiveness

203
00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:56,560
Speaker 1: to keep firing away because you know it's gonna be

204
00:08:56,559 --> 00:08:57,480
Speaker 1: there for you eventually.

205
00:08:58,000 --> 00:08:58,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, It's like.

206
00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:03,599
Speaker 2: It's like the digger who digs in the one that

207
00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:06,640
Speaker 2: just stops because it got too hard, or the digger

208
00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:09,520
Speaker 2: that just is persistent enough to digs and you can't

209
00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:11,680
Speaker 2: see the other side, but you take one more swing

210
00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:14,000
Speaker 2: at it, and the diamonds right down the other side.

211
00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:16,320
Speaker 2: It's like that, Like I ain't trying to again. My

212
00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:19,960
Speaker 2: whole life has never been roses or or cherry blossoms.

213
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:22,760
Speaker 3: It ain't never been that. It's always been an uphill

214
00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:23,360
Speaker 3: battle for me.

215
00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:26,000
Speaker 2: So if it worked this play, it's gonna work eventually

216
00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:28,520
Speaker 2: just because of how I am and you know what

217
00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:30,360
Speaker 2: I'm saying, And those guys get paid a lot of

218
00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:34,040
Speaker 2: money too. I ain't expecting myself to go one hundred

219
00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:35,679
Speaker 2: every time. That's what I want to do, That's what

220
00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:38,120
Speaker 2: I'm thinking in my mind, but it is what it is.

221
00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:39,440
Speaker 3: You just taking one play at a time.

222
00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:43,000
Speaker 1: Love talking to David Montgomery and that last section there,

223
00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:46,400
Speaker 1: he gave me a look I was thinking, I didn't

224
00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:49,160
Speaker 1: do it. I mean, he's intents okay, and he's gonna

225
00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:53,880
Speaker 1: be a fun, entertaining, productive addition to the Texans backfield

226
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:56,840
Speaker 1: and helping pave the way for yardage for David is

227
00:09:57,080 --> 00:10:00,199
Speaker 1: ed Ingram Johnny and I caught up with Ed. That's

228
00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:02,960
Speaker 1: listed to some of that as Ed remains a text

229
00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:05,439
Speaker 1: in this conversation, kind of like last night's with Trent Brown,

230
00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:09,040
Speaker 1: took place before any other acquisitions along the D line.

231
00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:11,800
Speaker 1: Trent was back, Ed was back, but that's all we

232
00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:14,000
Speaker 1: knew at the time, and it's good stuff for Matt Aggro.

233
00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:17,880
Speaker 1: Ed congratulations on staying ah Texas.

234
00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:19,280
Speaker 3: I appreciate that. Appreciate that.

235
00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:20,640
Speaker 6: How's it feel man?

236
00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:23,880
Speaker 7: Just to have First of all, how stressful was that

237
00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:26,360
Speaker 7: going into that process knowing, Hey.

238
00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:28,160
Speaker 6: Potentially it could be a free agent?

239
00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:30,360
Speaker 7: You know, we talked to you late in the season,

240
00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:32,000
Speaker 7: felt like you really liked Houston?

241
00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:34,719
Speaker 6: Was that process kind of like? How nervous was it?

242
00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:35,760
Speaker 6: Were you nervous?

243
00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:37,040
Speaker 3: I'm not gonna lie I was.

244
00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:40,040
Speaker 8: I was very nervous because I didn't know, like what

245
00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:42,599
Speaker 8: wasn't like in store for me, Like I could have

246
00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:45,200
Speaker 8: ended up all the way in Kelly or a different

247
00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:48,320
Speaker 8: team somewhere that I didn't really like and stuff like that.

248
00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:49,959
Speaker 8: So that's what I was worried about, maybe getting in

249
00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:53,720
Speaker 8: too bad culture and being here in Houston, I've experienced

250
00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:55,800
Speaker 8: like being in a good culture. So it's like I

251
00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:58,120
Speaker 8: didn't want to lead that or chance it. So I'm

252
00:10:58,160 --> 00:10:59,440
Speaker 8: glad we was able to come to a deal.

253
00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:02,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, how about staying in Texas as a whole? I mean,

254
00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:04,920
Speaker 1: you're a Texan, so let's feel good that.

255
00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:06,440
Speaker 5: One those stay tax How about that?

256
00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:10,680
Speaker 7: Okay, Okay, I want to ask you, as a player,

257
00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:12,520
Speaker 7: does that does that matter? Oh?

258
00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:13,440
Speaker 3: It definitely matters.

259
00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:13,720
Speaker 4: Come on.

260
00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:16,360
Speaker 8: I'm like I was in Minnesota and those taxes was

261
00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:18,959
Speaker 8: like taking all my money. So being here on the

262
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:20,120
Speaker 8: paychecks are looking different.

263
00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:22,440
Speaker 7: Well cause I heard some guys talking on the radio

264
00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:24,440
Speaker 7: other day and they're like, ah, it's too much made

265
00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:27,080
Speaker 7: in that doesn't really matter. I'm like, man, you're in California,

266
00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:29,160
Speaker 7: You're paying thirteen percent state tax.

267
00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:31,679
Speaker 8: Yeah, that's that's taking a lot of your money. So

268
00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:34,400
Speaker 8: Texas is pretty much ideal ed.

269
00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:36,880
Speaker 1: What about you mentioned the culture? What about staying here

270
00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:39,800
Speaker 1: with your teammates. I know the team differs every year

271
00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:41,880
Speaker 1: a little bit. Guys come and go, but the core

272
00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:44,719
Speaker 1: of the team is here. You mentioned the culture, and

273
00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:47,520
Speaker 1: that's a word that gets thrown around, but it's being

274
00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:49,920
Speaker 1: around guys you really like right and like to work

275
00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:50,800
Speaker 1: with and produce with.

276
00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:52,840
Speaker 8: I hang out with a lot of my teammates outside

277
00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:56,080
Speaker 8: of football, so like we've come to be friends and

278
00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:58,800
Speaker 8: create these friendships that are like long lasting. So I

279
00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:01,400
Speaker 8: feel like being back here with some of my teammates,

280
00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:03,200
Speaker 8: like a lot of them hyped up in the texted me,

281
00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:05,720
Speaker 8: blown up my phone, and it just feels amazing coming

282
00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:07,920
Speaker 8: back to a team where I feel valued and my

283
00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:09,160
Speaker 8: teammates value me as well.

284
00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:11,599
Speaker 7: So what's the first thing that they text you. I

285
00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:13,960
Speaker 7: would imagine that dinner's on you the next time they

286
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:17,000
Speaker 7: see you. First one, But are the what kind of

287
00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:19,560
Speaker 7: things you're hearing? Just congratulations? I mean, are they proud

288
00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:21,319
Speaker 7: of you? Like, what's the biggest thing your logy?

289
00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:21,959
Speaker 5: Congrats?

290
00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:25,160
Speaker 8: A lot of people saying like you deserve this and

291
00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:28,200
Speaker 8: just congratulating me, just because a lot of people know

292
00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:31,079
Speaker 8: my journey, Like, yeah, it wasn't always easy. I never

293
00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:33,840
Speaker 8: saw myself, you know, sign on a big contract like this,

294
00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:35,920
Speaker 8: so like it's life changing.

295
00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:38,679
Speaker 1: So Ed, I know, free agency in the draft, this

296
00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:41,840
Speaker 1: is an ongoing process. You're never really done constructing the team.

297
00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:45,320
Speaker 1: But this offense, what are you looking at in twenty

298
00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:48,040
Speaker 1: twenty six? Taking that next step you guys are seeking?

299
00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:50,800
Speaker 8: I want us to continue to build on what we

300
00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:52,679
Speaker 8: did last year. I mean we made it really far

301
00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:55,400
Speaker 8: last year. I mean it was like a game away

302
00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:58,000
Speaker 8: from going to the show. So I felt like, if

303
00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:00,880
Speaker 8: we just can continue to build on our offense, continue

304
00:13:00,920 --> 00:13:03,920
Speaker 8: to grow together as an O line as well, I

305
00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:05,520
Speaker 8: feel like we would do some big things this year.

306
00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:09,840
Speaker 7: ED fast forward or rewind one year and you get

307
00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:13,640
Speaker 7: traded to the Texans. What were your thoughts then You're

308
00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:15,520
Speaker 7: coming to a new team. I know, it's good to

309
00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:18,599
Speaker 7: be back in Texas, but it's a new team, new offense,

310
00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:21,760
Speaker 7: just new people around everything you got to get used to. Obviously,

311
00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:23,000
Speaker 7: there were a couple of people you knew. You know

312
00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:26,040
Speaker 7: Sting was here, you got some LSU connection there. But

313
00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:29,079
Speaker 7: what were your thoughts when you found out, Hey, I'm

314
00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:32,160
Speaker 7: being traded to the Texans And the way you feel

315
00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:32,920
Speaker 7: a year after that.

316
00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:36,280
Speaker 8: I mean, I mean coming here when I was traded,

317
00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:38,160
Speaker 8: I was kind of in awe because I was literally

318
00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:40,680
Speaker 8: about to go see the chiropractor and I was just

319
00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:42,600
Speaker 8: stuck in the middle of traffic. So I'm like, oh,

320
00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:44,960
Speaker 8: now i gotta go to the airport two hours. I'm

321
00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:46,640
Speaker 8: I'm on the whole new team. I gotta I'm thinking

322
00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:48,760
Speaker 8: about all this, all this stuff, like I gotta move,

323
00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:52,240
Speaker 8: got to pack up all my stuff, And I mean, ultimately,

324
00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:54,320
Speaker 8: I feel like that was the best decision my agent

325
00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:57,800
Speaker 8: ever made, is putting me in this situation where I'm

326
00:13:57,800 --> 00:13:59,920
Speaker 8: like four hours down the road from Dallas where I'm from,

327
00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:02,640
Speaker 8: so and then coming here to a team that has

328
00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:06,040
Speaker 8: a great culture and a great coaching staff. And it

329
00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:08,520
Speaker 8: set me up for to have the year that I

330
00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:11,400
Speaker 8: had last year. Big shout out to Cole Papovich, O

331
00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:12,120
Speaker 8: line coach.

332
00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:14,280
Speaker 7: By the way, yeah he wants dinner too, I'm sure.

333
00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:20,239
Speaker 1: Yeah, so Trent is also back. How has Trent influenced

334
00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:22,600
Speaker 1: the rest of the guys with all his experience?

335
00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:25,360
Speaker 8: Yeah, Trent is. I mean he's a big dude that

336
00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:28,360
Speaker 8: and he's a big vet, so a lot of us

337
00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:32,240
Speaker 8: have respect for him. I remember growing up like I

338
00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:34,200
Speaker 8: was watching Trent, like I kind of I followed him

339
00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:37,040
Speaker 8: throughout his career and to be able to play with

340
00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:39,720
Speaker 8: him last year, like I was kind of starstruck. I'm like, man,

341
00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:41,720
Speaker 8: I'm playing next to it, like Trent Brown right now,

342
00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:42,680
Speaker 8: this is crazy.

343
00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:44,560
Speaker 3: So he is.

344
00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:46,560
Speaker 8: He has a He's a big impact to the room.

345
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:48,800
Speaker 8: Especially he brings that leadership as well.

346
00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:51,160
Speaker 7: So when he stepped next to you at right tackle

347
00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:53,080
Speaker 7: and you guys started playing together, what was kind of

348
00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:55,000
Speaker 7: key for you too? And I'm sure by the way,

349
00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:57,080
Speaker 7: he loved here and I watched you when I was

350
00:14:57,120 --> 00:14:59,000
Speaker 7: growing up. All the bets love here and now you

351
00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:01,800
Speaker 7: hear that one day, But what was that like kind

352
00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:03,760
Speaker 7: of getting a camaraderie between you two.

353
00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:05,080
Speaker 6: On the field, it.

354
00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:07,640
Speaker 8: Was it was really cool, like just because I mean,

355
00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:09,800
Speaker 8: me and his relationship is cool, and it's grown as

356
00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:13,120
Speaker 8: we begin to play with each other. And like I

357
00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:15,200
Speaker 8: always thought I was be the one that just sets

358
00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:16,720
Speaker 8: up the d linemen and he kind of just knocks

359
00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:19,080
Speaker 8: him down. He's a big force. All he has to

360
00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:21,560
Speaker 8: do is lean on somebody and they're moving ten yards

361
00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:23,640
Speaker 8: down the field. So I mean, I love Trent.

362
00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:27,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, one more for you on tay Orsie, because rookie

363
00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:30,360
Speaker 1: last year made some strides, no question about it. But

364
00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:33,040
Speaker 1: he was a rookie and you've been around the block

365
00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:35,800
Speaker 1: now a few times and you seem to play better

366
00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:38,360
Speaker 1: every year. So what about that part of it as

367
00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:39,960
Speaker 1: he seeks to improve in year two?

368
00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:45,400
Speaker 8: First of all, shout out ariante Ursery. It's my boy. Man,

370
00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:50,800

Speaker 8: stuff like that. I'm just like I had to see

375
00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:03,040
Speaker 8: where things are going to go for him going forward.

376
00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:04,320
Speaker 8: I know he's gonna be successful.

377
00:16:04,760 --> 00:16:07,440
Speaker 7: Okay, you sign a contract like this last one from me.

00:16:57,200 --> 00:16:59,880

398
00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:03,120

399
00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:06,800
Speaker 1: for your Texans on the way, It's Texans Radio. Right

400
00:17:06,840 --> 00:17:09,240
Speaker 1: back into the hun Day Texans Radio Studio on Texans

401
00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:12,439
Speaker 1: All Access, Mark Vandermain and John Harris with you and Johnny,

402
00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:15,680
Speaker 1: Like we said yesterday, I look around the division and

403
00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:18,480
Speaker 1: I think that it's interesting to see what the other

404
00:17:18,520 --> 00:17:21,280
Speaker 1: teams have done. The Titans helping themselves a bit, the

405
00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:25,320
Speaker 1: Colts re signing Jones and Pierce most notably, and the

406
00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:28,600
Speaker 1: Jacksonville Jaguars just watching. No, they have made a few moves,

407
00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:30,720
Speaker 1: but they lost a couple of guys as well. And

408
00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:34,720
Speaker 1: I as General John McClain, Okay, would you pick the

409
00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:35,879
Speaker 1: Texans to win the division?

410
00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:36,280
Speaker 6: Johnny?

411
00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:39,720
Speaker 1: Do you think most national media, based on where we're

412
00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:42,439
Speaker 1: at this week, would pick the Texans to win the

413
00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:44,359
Speaker 1: AFC South in twenty twenty six?

414
00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:45,399
Speaker 6: I would think so.

415
00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:47,520
Speaker 7: I don't know if they would be fifty to fifty

416
00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:50,840
Speaker 7: between the Jags and the Texans. But the Jags, I

417
00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:52,040
Speaker 7: don't know if you had a chance to hear this,

418
00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:55,880
Speaker 7: but James Gladstone stepped up to a microphone and basically said, eh,

419
00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:59,280
Speaker 7: we're not doing anything with free agency because we want

420
00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:00,560
Speaker 7: the cop picks next year.

421
00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:04,760
Speaker 6: And I was like, WHOA, Okay, but I you know,

422
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:06,960
Speaker 6: you know, I've I've said this in numerous times.

423
00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:09,240
Speaker 7: The twenty twenty seven draft is definitely a draft you

424
00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:10,760
Speaker 7: want to have additional ammunition.

425
00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:15,000
Speaker 6: But that's a settle for cop picks.

426
00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:17,240
Speaker 7: Yeah, like, yeah, we're gonna setf for copicks and not

427
00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:21,119
Speaker 7: try and rebuild. I mean, they've lost Etn, they've lost

428
00:18:21,119 --> 00:18:25,679
Speaker 7: Devin Lloyd, they've lost Dewey wing guard, They've lost a

429
00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:29,720
Speaker 7: number of key guys and they're not going to replace them.

430
00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:32,240
Speaker 6: And they don't have a ton of draft capital.

431
00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:36,800
Speaker 7: So it's gonna be the Jaguars getting the most out

432
00:18:36,840 --> 00:18:39,600
Speaker 7: of guys that they draft on Day three that they

433
00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:42,920
Speaker 7: pick up, you know, with one year free agent contracts

434
00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:45,439
Speaker 7: where they're just trying to fill whatever voids they have

435
00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:49,760
Speaker 7: with you know, the one year two million dollar deals.

436
00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:52,840
Speaker 7: Now you could be successful with that, but oh it's tough.

437
00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:55,080
Speaker 7: So I think if you look at the Texas goo

438
00:18:55,119 --> 00:18:57,000
Speaker 7: they had in Montgomery aud of Brayden Smith, they've helped

439
00:18:57,040 --> 00:18:59,880
Speaker 7: the offensive line, they brought back Trent and ed like, Okay,

440
00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:03,520
Speaker 7: I feel like that's the team I feel better about

441
00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:04,240
Speaker 7: than the Jaguars.

442
00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:06,800
Speaker 6: The Jaguars to me stuff to prove that they can

443
00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:07,000
Speaker 6: do it.

444
00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:10,119
Speaker 7: For more than one year, because they did in seventeen,

445
00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:12,560
Speaker 7: then they flamed out. They did in twenty two, then

446
00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:15,080
Speaker 7: they won a seven game losing streak to finish twenty

447
00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:18,639
Speaker 7: twenty three. So to me, if I'm an ashvill run,

448
00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:20,880
Speaker 7: I'm like, i' might getting burned. I'm going with the Texans.

449
00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:24,040
Speaker 7: They won ten, ten and twelve one of Themiko Ryans.

450
00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:26,640
Speaker 7: I like that consistency. I'm going with the Texans.

451
00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:27,800
Speaker 6: All right, very good.

452
00:19:28,119 --> 00:19:32,040
Speaker 1: What about the Titans new uniforms they dropped last night?

453
00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:39,760
Speaker 6: Thoughts Ah, that's that says it all. I mean, full sentence.

454
00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:43,160
Speaker 1: It's just that was a paragraph like whatever.

455
00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:48,760
Speaker 7: I mean, I mean, it's been It's so transparent what

456
00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:52,000
Speaker 7: has gone on? You know, the Texans wanted to bring back,

457
00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:53,840
Speaker 7: you know, their h town blue, and then all of

458
00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:57,199
Speaker 7: a sudden it became this, well we have the others colors,

459
00:19:57,240 --> 00:19:59,200
Speaker 7: so here we go twenty twenty three.

460
00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:02,679
Speaker 6: Bam, oiler's colors. We beat you. Twenty twenty four, we're

461
00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:03,480
Speaker 6: gonna wear them again.

462
00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:07,880
Speaker 7: Bam, we beat you with a JV squad basically that day, Like, okay,

463
00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:11,360
Speaker 7: do whatever. Just be better at football. I mean, be

464
00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:15,000
Speaker 7: better at football. That's all you gotta do. But I

465
00:20:15,040 --> 00:20:17,399
Speaker 7: you know, you know me when it comes to uniforms,

466
00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:19,720
Speaker 7: but this one always tugs at the heart strings because

467
00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:23,159
Speaker 7: of you know, the Oilers in Houston and all that.

468
00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:26,639
Speaker 7: It just it feels like an organization that's trying to

469
00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:29,520
Speaker 7: hang on to that past when I actually feel like

470
00:20:30,280 --> 00:20:34,600
Speaker 7: the fans at Tennessee don't give a rip about whatever Oilers.

471
00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:37,520
Speaker 7: That nonsense was like, stop with that.

472
00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:40,800
Speaker 1: That's my take exactly, and it always has been it

473
00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:45,040
Speaker 1: will be. You are insulting the fans of Nashville, your

474
00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:47,960
Speaker 1: own fans, what few of them you do have, who

475
00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:51,800
Speaker 1: are building you a second stadium, But you still continue

476
00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:54,880
Speaker 1: to say we miss Houston, we love Houston. We're gonna

477
00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:57,879
Speaker 1: dress up like Houston. And by the way, keep building

478
00:20:57,880 --> 00:21:00,399
Speaker 1: that stadium and go make me a sandwich. They are

479
00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:05,560
Speaker 1: abusive to their own fans. They're abusive. It's not it's

480
00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:09,000
Speaker 1: the ultimate troll on the Nashville fans. Not that I

481
00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:11,359
Speaker 1: really care about their feelings, but I find this so

482
00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:15,240
Speaker 1: interesting that they insist on being the Oilers when they

483
00:21:15,280 --> 00:21:18,920
Speaker 1: actually have some tradition in Nashville, and they literally had

484
00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:22,160
Speaker 1: more success. They went to a Super Bowl as Titans.

485
00:21:22,280 --> 00:21:23,440
Speaker 6: But we want to be the oilers.

486
00:21:23,800 --> 00:21:27,560
Speaker 1: Okay, I guess enjoy yourself, and I can't wait to

487
00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:31,960
Speaker 1: beat them while they're wearing those things. That is my take,

488
00:21:32,119 --> 00:21:34,879
Speaker 1: all right, Johnny, I've got this for you as well. Now,

489
00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:38,720
Speaker 1: we talk about the UFL very seldom on this program,

490
00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:42,639
Speaker 1: but when a league like this makes rule changes, often

491
00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:43,840
Speaker 1: it affects the NFL.

492
00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:44,199
Speaker 5: All right.

493
00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:46,840
Speaker 6: The NFL used the UFL kickoff rule, for.

494
00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:50,199
Speaker 1: Instance, not exactly, but they used a version of that,

495
00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:52,840
Speaker 1: and it goes back to the USFL in the eighties,

496
00:21:53,119 --> 00:21:55,040
Speaker 1: and the USFL was the first to use the red

497
00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:57,960
Speaker 1: challenge flag. The NFL picked that up, among other things.

498
00:21:58,080 --> 00:22:00,000
Speaker 1: So are you ready for some of these rule changes

499
00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:02,359
Speaker 1: in the UFL. One of them we already talked about

500
00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:05,320
Speaker 1: a little bit, the four point field goal. You kick

501
00:22:05,359 --> 00:22:10,359
Speaker 1: one from beyond sixty, it's worth four, and I'm gonna

502
00:22:10,359 --> 00:22:13,760
Speaker 1: give you another one. No punting inside the fifty, so

503
00:22:13,880 --> 00:22:17,200
Speaker 1: when you cross the fifty you cannot punt. You can

504
00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:20,359
Speaker 1: go for it or kick a field goal, but no punting.

505
00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:23,679
Speaker 1: No punts for you. And I've got others. But react

506
00:22:23,720 --> 00:22:24,600
Speaker 1: to those first two.

507
00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:28,160
Speaker 7: Well, the four point one I have we had seen

508
00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:29,919
Speaker 7: that I don't know that was back a month or

509
00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:31,600
Speaker 7: so ago, and we talked about it a little bit.

510
00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:33,639
Speaker 7: I mean, can you imagine, you know, you get the

511
00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:36,040
Speaker 7: ball to the four yard line and you're like, ooh,

512
00:22:36,040 --> 00:22:38,040
Speaker 7: this is a fifty seven yard field goal, all right,

513
00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:40,520
Speaker 7: quarterback take a four yard loss, and then you go

514
00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:45,000
Speaker 7: kick a four point It's gonna look kind of weird.

515
00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:50,840
Speaker 7: I like no punting inside the fifty. I absolutely love it,

516
00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:53,880
Speaker 7: and I you know, I would think I would think

517
00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:58,760
Speaker 7: coaches will like it too, because there's no decision making.

518
00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:01,639
Speaker 6: They just are right, well, we're inside the fifty, so

519
00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:03,520
Speaker 6: let's punt this.

520
00:23:03,560 --> 00:23:03,679
Speaker 5: Now.

521
00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:06,640
Speaker 7: It's gonna be interesting, kind of like golf our teams.

522
00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:09,720
Speaker 7: It's third and twenty. Our team's gonna lay.

523
00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:10,639
Speaker 6: Up and.

524
00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:16,360
Speaker 7: Fell down on the minus forty nine. I guess we'll punt. Yeah, yeah,

525
00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:18,280
Speaker 7: ca ice to see if that gets into it. But

526
00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:22,680
Speaker 7: lay up time, get your seven iron out. But I

527
00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:25,480
Speaker 7: like both of those. I like the four point field goal.

528
00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:27,760
Speaker 7: I am intrigued by that. But you know how I

529
00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:30,520
Speaker 7: feel about punters. People have asked me about Kai Krueger,

530
00:23:30,560 --> 00:23:32,760
Speaker 7: and I'm just like, I don't know. I don't put

531
00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:36,160
Speaker 7: punters in my draft guides or anything. When I do

532
00:23:36,760 --> 00:23:40,400
Speaker 7: analysis for the draft. So I'm glad. I like that

533
00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:41,240
Speaker 7: rule a lot.

534
00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:44,960
Speaker 1: Okay, so the next one is maybe even more way

535
00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:45,480
Speaker 1: out there.

536
00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:47,480
Speaker 6: I've actually suggested this.

537
00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:50,119
Speaker 1: I used to suggest this all the time for the NFL,

538
00:23:50,359 --> 00:23:53,440
Speaker 1: but I changed my tune. One foot in is in

539
00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:57,320
Speaker 1: Johnny one foot on a catch college style.

540
00:23:57,840 --> 00:24:00,600
Speaker 6: You like it. I like it. I've allway liked it.

541
00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:03,280
Speaker 7: Just to get one toe in bounds, just to get

542
00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:06,520
Speaker 7: your one your foot, I love it. I love that

543
00:24:06,680 --> 00:24:09,280
Speaker 7: it's more catches, it's a little bit more driven to

544
00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:12,440
Speaker 7: the offense. I've always been a fan of the one

545
00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:15,480
Speaker 7: foot look. I mean the in the NFL. Okay, it's

546
00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:17,359
Speaker 7: two feet. You gotta be a little bit better. And

547
00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:20,080
Speaker 7: we've seen some of the best body control receivers on

548
00:24:20,160 --> 00:24:23,320
Speaker 7: the sidelines at DeAndre Hopkins, Adrey Johnson.

549
00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:25,720
Speaker 6: You know, Nico is excellent on the sidelines as well.

550
00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:29,399
Speaker 7: So we've taken advantage of guys that can really master

551
00:24:29,560 --> 00:24:34,760
Speaker 7: two feet in bounds. But you got one foot, it's good.

552
00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:37,760
Speaker 7: Let's move the chain, let's keep it rolling. I actually

553
00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:39,800
Speaker 7: like that one. I don't like it as much. I

554
00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:42,400
Speaker 7: like the other two, but I don't. I don't mind

555
00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:43,040
Speaker 7: that one at all.

556
00:24:43,480 --> 00:24:47,840
Speaker 1: Okay, I've got another weird one, double forward pass, but

557
00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:50,919
Speaker 1: behind the line of scrimmage, so you can swing it

558
00:24:50,960 --> 00:24:53,920
Speaker 1: out to the running back as a forward pass. As

559
00:24:53,920 --> 00:24:56,240
Speaker 1: long as he doesn't pass the line of scrimmage, he

560
00:24:56,280 --> 00:24:57,240
Speaker 1: can throw it again.

561
00:24:58,080 --> 00:24:58,919
Speaker 6: That is weird.

562
00:25:00,320 --> 00:25:03,360
Speaker 7: It is weird, and I'm telling you I got so

563
00:25:03,640 --> 00:25:06,720
Speaker 7: my first year out out of college, I went to

564
00:25:06,720 --> 00:25:08,800
Speaker 7: go play flag football at the beach, and that is

565
00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:12,919
Speaker 7: a famous play. Double pass, throw it behind a quarterback

566
00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:16,080
Speaker 7: and then he throws it. I got caught on that mark.

567
00:25:16,119 --> 00:25:17,760
Speaker 7: I don't know how many times the first three or

568
00:25:17,800 --> 00:25:20,960
Speaker 7: four games, I'd come screaming up. It'd throw the ball

569
00:25:21,119 --> 00:25:23,120
Speaker 7: running back. I'm playing safety. I come screaming up all

570
00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:24,639
Speaker 7: of a sudden see somebody running by, Like, why is

571
00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:25,480
Speaker 7: that guy running by me?

572
00:25:25,720 --> 00:25:26,479
Speaker 6: Oh crap.

573
00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:29,399
Speaker 7: So it took a little while to get adjusted to

574
00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:32,560
Speaker 7: that rule, A long time to get adjusted to that rule.

575
00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:37,160
Speaker 6: But I don't mind it. I mean, I'm fine with it.

576
00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:39,960
Speaker 7: You know, a little double pass, it's cool.

577
00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:42,320
Speaker 6: Let's let's have a little bit more excitement in it.

578
00:25:42,359 --> 00:25:43,320
Speaker 6: But I'm telling you.

579
00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:48,560
Speaker 7: Safeties are gonna have a horrible problem with it, horrible problem,

580
00:25:48,680 --> 00:25:51,480
Speaker 7: especially in tackle football. It is gonna be really tough

581
00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:53,720
Speaker 7: because one of the plays that we see a lot

582
00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:56,760
Speaker 7: of teams now running in both college in the NFL

583
00:25:56,960 --> 00:25:59,640
Speaker 7: is they'll take a check down and swing the checkdown

584
00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:02,480
Speaker 7: out and they'll put a tight end out in front.

585
00:26:02,560 --> 00:26:05,200
Speaker 6: So it's like a checkdown, but you have a tight

586
00:26:05,280 --> 00:26:06,240
Speaker 6: end to go out and block.

587
00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:08,600
Speaker 7: Well, now, all of a sudden, instead of the checkdown,

588
00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:10,320
Speaker 7: you swing them a little deeper. Now you throw it

589
00:26:10,359 --> 00:26:12,040
Speaker 7: to him. Now you got the tight end out there

590
00:26:12,280 --> 00:26:15,959
Speaker 7: blocking past blocking for him, and you're thinking, oh, this

591
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:18,280
Speaker 7: is a chat, I gotta go. Boom, you pop it

592
00:26:18,320 --> 00:26:20,399
Speaker 7: over the head and a way you go. So I

593
00:26:21,600 --> 00:26:24,560
Speaker 7: don't hate it, but I know I know how tough

594
00:26:24,600 --> 00:26:26,840
Speaker 7: that is gonna be for safeties to have to play

595
00:26:26,880 --> 00:26:27,439
Speaker 7: that play.

596
00:26:27,720 --> 00:26:28,000
Speaker 3: All right.

597
00:26:28,040 --> 00:26:32,120
Speaker 1: There are other groundbreaking UFL rule changes as well, Johnny,

598
00:26:32,119 --> 00:26:34,440
Speaker 1: but we don't have time to dive into those right now.

599
00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:35,879
Speaker 1: We'll get to some of them next week. These are

600
00:26:35,920 --> 00:26:38,520
Speaker 1: the most significant ones that we just went over. Okay,

Speaker 1: Dalton Schultz, we're gonna hear from him next week, but

619
00:27:20,359 --> 00:27:22,480
Speaker 4: the off season, how's it been treating you and if

620
00:27:22,520 --> 00:27:24,600
Speaker 4: you've gotten into anything fun to get away from ball

621
00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:25,480
Speaker 4: for just a minute.

622
00:27:26,119 --> 00:27:30,840

624
00:27:33,880 --> 00:27:36,160
Speaker 9: as soon as you know you're out of the playoffs

625
00:27:36,160 --> 00:27:39,600
Speaker 9: and the season's done, like you find yourself going like,

626
00:27:39,640 --> 00:27:41,240
Speaker 9: well what now, you know what I mean? And every

627
00:27:41,280 --> 00:27:44,240
Speaker 9: year it's it's kind of like that. But I'd say

628
00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:46,360
Speaker 9: over the last year I've kind of gotten into it's

629
00:27:46,440 --> 00:27:47,960
Speaker 9: like just the cor scene a little bit.

630
00:27:49,240 --> 00:27:50,560
Speaker 5: So as soon as the season.

631
00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:52,639
Speaker 9: Was over, I was like, you know, screw it, like

632
00:27:53,280 --> 00:27:55,640
Speaker 9: I'm going, I'm going for as many drives as I can.

633
00:27:55,880 --> 00:27:57,320
Speaker 5: So I've been.

634
00:27:57,600 --> 00:27:59,480
Speaker 9: I've been on the roads a little bit, driving the

635
00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:03,840
Speaker 9: speed limit, driving the speed limit, seeing uh, seeing a

636
00:28:03,880 --> 00:28:05,840
Speaker 9: lot of my friends that I've made in the community

637
00:28:05,840 --> 00:28:07,720
Speaker 9: a little bit. But but yeah, it's been fun.

638
00:28:07,720 --> 00:28:08,560
Speaker 5: Man, I love that.

639
00:28:08,560 --> 00:28:09,000
Speaker 6: That's great.

640
00:28:09,040 --> 00:28:11,199
Speaker 4: Actually you think that's bad, Like I toyly know what

641
00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:14,040
Speaker 4: you're saying. When the season's over and every minute of

642
00:28:14,080 --> 00:28:17,760
Speaker 4: the season basically structure and then you've got few few days,

643
00:28:17,800 --> 00:28:19,760
Speaker 4: few weeks, whatever it is to yourself. I've talked to

644
00:28:19,760 --> 00:28:21,720
Speaker 4: so many guys and once it's over and they're playing

645
00:28:21,720 --> 00:28:23,479
Speaker 4: career is over. Then you got a real problem, right

646
00:28:23,520 --> 00:28:26,159
Speaker 4: because that's every single day and you're not sure what

647
00:28:26,200 --> 00:28:27,800
Speaker 4: to do if you haven't already planned the thing out

648
00:28:28,040 --> 00:28:30,639
Speaker 4: from a car standpoint. So are you about the exotics?

649
00:28:30,640 --> 00:28:33,040
Speaker 4: You about American muscle? Are you a truck guy?

650
00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:35,000
Speaker 3: What do you do? So?

651
00:28:35,359 --> 00:28:37,600
Speaker 9: I mean I was like a need for speed, fast

652
00:28:37,640 --> 00:28:42,120
Speaker 9: and furious kid like. So my I'd say my roots

653
00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:46,760
Speaker 9: are probably like JDM kind of JDM focused. I got

654
00:28:46,800 --> 00:28:50,760
Speaker 9: a Nissan Skyline at the beginning of last year, and

655
00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:54,760
Speaker 9: I freaking loved it so much I sent it off

656
00:28:54,760 --> 00:28:58,200
Speaker 9: to the shop to get built, and I realized, like

657
00:28:58,480 --> 00:29:01,400
Speaker 9: in the two weeks that you know, kind of followed

658
00:29:01,440 --> 00:29:04,160
Speaker 9: me sending it off to the shop, I was like, dude,

659
00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:05,880
Speaker 9: I need to find another one that like I could

660
00:29:05,960 --> 00:29:06,560
Speaker 9: just drive and.

661
00:29:06,520 --> 00:29:07,480
Speaker 5: Tell this one's done.

662
00:29:07,880 --> 00:29:11,080
Speaker 9: So I bought another one, and then I just recently

663
00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:13,240
Speaker 9: sold that because the one's about to get out of

664
00:29:13,240 --> 00:29:14,120
Speaker 9: the shop in a couple of months.

665
00:29:14,120 --> 00:29:16,000
Speaker 4: So that's so funny, Like you couldn't go two weeks.

666
00:29:16,040 --> 00:29:17,600
Speaker 4: You couldn't even go two weeks if you had to

667
00:29:17,640 --> 00:29:18,200
Speaker 4: have well.

668
00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:21,600
Speaker 9: Dude, like driving that car and like seeing the looks

669
00:29:21,600 --> 00:29:23,880
Speaker 9: that you get, like nobody's ever seen a car like that,

670
00:29:23,960 --> 00:29:25,560
Speaker 9: Like you're driving on the right side of the car,

671
00:29:25,760 --> 00:29:29,280
Speaker 9: like it's manual. We never got them in the USA market,

672
00:29:29,360 --> 00:29:32,560
Speaker 9: so like there you see them on the street, everybody's

673
00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:34,800
Speaker 9: gonna kind of be like, well, what is that? And

674
00:29:34,840 --> 00:29:36,480
Speaker 9: it's one of those cars like if you know, you know,

675
00:29:36,600 --> 00:29:38,960
Speaker 9: it's the it's like the Fast and Furious to like

676
00:29:39,680 --> 00:29:40,960
Speaker 9: classic Paul Walker.

677
00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:43,720
Speaker 5: It's it's my favorite car of all time.

678
00:29:43,760 --> 00:29:46,280
Speaker 9: So I got that, and I started like doing like

679
00:29:46,400 --> 00:29:50,000
Speaker 9: mechanic work, like wrenching on it myself. Switch a couple

680
00:29:50,080 --> 00:29:53,200
Speaker 9: easy things out, got a couple things done and upgraded

681
00:29:53,280 --> 00:29:56,800
Speaker 9: on the one, the second one that I bought, enjoyed

682
00:29:56,800 --> 00:29:59,880
Speaker 9: it for the last year. And yeah, that one kind

683
00:29:59,880 --> 00:30:01,600
Speaker 9: of like opened up a can of worms for me

684
00:30:01,640 --> 00:30:02,160
Speaker 9: a little bit.

685
00:30:03,960 --> 00:30:06,040
Speaker 4: Am I Right, it's saying, that's the one that's right

686
00:30:06,080 --> 00:30:07,400
Speaker 4: over your shoulder, right.

687
00:30:08,200 --> 00:30:10,440
Speaker 9: Uh, yeah, this's I gotta I got a couple of them.

688
00:30:10,520 --> 00:30:13,000
Speaker 9: So my buddy got me a it's like an r

689
00:30:13,080 --> 00:30:15,720
Speaker 9: c RC version, and then I've got like a little

690
00:30:16,080 --> 00:30:19,480
Speaker 9: let's see where it is, show it to us. There's

691
00:30:19,480 --> 00:30:21,600
Speaker 9: a little like lego version of it that I got

692
00:30:21,640 --> 00:30:23,880
Speaker 9: to that my son built or.

693
00:30:24,080 --> 00:30:24,640
Speaker 5: Helped me get.

694
00:30:24,800 --> 00:30:26,080
Speaker 6: Jesus, I gotta get there.

695
00:30:26,120 --> 00:30:30,080
Speaker 5: You got it nice. That's like that's like the Fast

696
00:30:30,080 --> 00:30:31,240
Speaker 5: and the Furious version right there.

697
00:30:31,320 --> 00:30:32,480
Speaker 6: But that is so great.

698
00:30:32,520 --> 00:30:35,400
Speaker 4: So okay, So normally I think somebody like you probably

699
00:30:35,440 --> 00:30:37,360
Speaker 4: does not want all that attention. But you're right, you

700
00:30:37,480 --> 00:30:39,160
Speaker 4: have a wriggle like that. People are gonna look at

701
00:30:39,200 --> 00:30:42,040
Speaker 4: you tint the windows are not do you want them?

702
00:30:42,080 --> 00:30:42,560
Speaker 3: Knowing I was.

703
00:30:42,560 --> 00:30:46,360
Speaker 9: Driving the car and those ones, Yeah, yeah, I mean

704
00:30:46,840 --> 00:30:48,600
Speaker 9: you kind of you tint them a little bit.

705
00:30:50,160 --> 00:30:53,120
Speaker 5: Can't be out there in a fish bowl something like that.

706
00:30:53,520 --> 00:30:55,240
Speaker 6: No, exactly a lot of a lot of these cars.

707
00:30:55,320 --> 00:30:58,320
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm definitely gonna get tentioned, especially out in Houston. Dude.

708
00:30:58,400 --> 00:31:01,120
Speaker 9: Like it's sunny, I'm I mean, it's pouring right now,

709
00:31:01,200 --> 00:31:02,840
Speaker 9: but like usually it's just sunny all the time.

710
00:31:03,080 --> 00:31:06,200
Speaker 5: Like protect the interior. Tint your windows have to have to.

711
00:31:06,360 --> 00:31:08,320
Speaker 4: In fact, if you believe it or not, I got

712
00:31:08,360 --> 00:31:10,080
Speaker 4: a new rig my Lee, send it up on my

713
00:31:10,160 --> 00:31:12,320
Speaker 4: other one or ended on my other one. I tinted

714
00:31:12,440 --> 00:31:14,880
Speaker 4: yesterday for that very reason. I mean, I'm in Cali.

715
00:31:14,960 --> 00:31:16,880
Speaker 4: But don't want that fishball, man. You cannot have that

716
00:31:16,920 --> 00:31:20,040
Speaker 4: fishball effect. Yeah, you can't have that. Talking to Dalton show,

717
00:31:20,040 --> 00:31:21,880
Speaker 4: it's talking to a lot of cars. Let's tuck a

718
00:31:21,920 --> 00:31:24,680
Speaker 4: little ball. How gratifying was it to get that deal done?

719
00:31:24,680 --> 00:31:26,560
Speaker 4: You got a one year extension done and that's gonna

720
00:31:26,560 --> 00:31:28,560
Speaker 4: take you through twenty twenty seven. How nice is it

721
00:31:28,920 --> 00:31:30,640
Speaker 4: not to have to worry about that and just focus

722
00:31:30,760 --> 00:31:33,800
Speaker 4: on ball and your cars and not worry about your contract.

723
00:31:34,760 --> 00:31:37,440
Speaker 9: Yeah, dude, it's it's awesome. I got the best agent

724
00:31:37,480 --> 00:31:40,640
Speaker 9: in the world. Me and Steven going together for ten

725
00:31:40,760 --> 00:31:45,360
Speaker 9: years damn near and I just I'm grateful to have

726
00:31:45,440 --> 00:31:47,280
Speaker 9: a guy like that's that's willing to kind of go

727
00:31:47,320 --> 00:31:49,080
Speaker 9: to bat for me and like take care of that

728
00:31:49,160 --> 00:31:51,880
Speaker 9: part of the business, because there was there was many

729
00:31:51,960 --> 00:31:54,320
Speaker 9: years of my career that I was like, as soon

730
00:31:54,360 --> 00:31:56,440
Speaker 9: as the season was done, that was like at the

731
00:31:56,880 --> 00:32:00,320
Speaker 9: absolute forefront of my mind stressing worrying where am I

732
00:32:00,320 --> 00:32:03,400
Speaker 9: going to be? Where am I going to go? Like

733
00:32:03,520 --> 00:32:06,040
Speaker 9: am I going to have security for my family? Like,

734
00:32:06,920 --> 00:32:08,920
Speaker 9: so I've I've spent my years doing that, and I'd

735
00:32:08,920 --> 00:32:11,720
Speaker 9: say after the last contract that we just did with

736
00:32:11,920 --> 00:32:16,040
Speaker 9: with Houston, like that three year extension just really put

737
00:32:16,120 --> 00:32:19,360
Speaker 9: me in a place mentally that was like fully at ease,

738
00:32:20,680 --> 00:32:23,840
Speaker 9: and then obviously being having gone through it, like at

739
00:32:23,880 --> 00:32:27,120
Speaker 9: this point, dude, I'm just happy to like to be here.

740
00:32:27,440 --> 00:32:30,080
Speaker 9: Like I love Houston, I love the Texans, I love

741
00:32:30,160 --> 00:32:32,640
Speaker 9: my teammates, I love everything that like has kind of

742
00:32:32,680 --> 00:32:37,400
Speaker 9: been established here since Tamiko's gotten here, And I'm really

743
00:32:37,440 --> 00:32:40,040
Speaker 9: excited to just kind of continue that and like hopefully

744
00:32:40,120 --> 00:32:41,600
Speaker 9: build that into a Super Bowl season.

745
00:32:41,800 --> 00:32:42,800
Speaker 4: You know, I was going to ask you about that

746
00:32:42,880 --> 00:32:45,560
Speaker 4: because a contract you know, for so long in the NFL,

747
00:32:45,680 --> 00:32:47,320
Speaker 4: it was like there were one way deals. I was

748
00:32:47,360 --> 00:32:48,800
Speaker 4: going to say, it's two way street, but for the

749
00:32:48,880 --> 00:32:51,720
Speaker 4: longest time, without that guaranteed money was not two way street.

750
00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:54,720
Speaker 4: But these aren't mutual commitments, so you had to commit

751
00:32:54,800 --> 00:32:56,320
Speaker 4: to them the way they committed to you. And you

752
00:32:56,400 --> 00:32:58,320
Speaker 4: start to kind of get into this, Darlin, Why was

753
00:32:58,360 --> 00:33:00,840
Speaker 4: it so important to you to recommit to the Texans?

754
00:33:01,080 --> 00:33:02,680
Speaker 4: What do you like about being there so much?

755
00:33:03,600 --> 00:33:03,840
Speaker 3: Dude?

756
00:33:03,920 --> 00:33:07,280
Speaker 9: I mean since day one, honestly day zero, when Dimico

757
00:33:07,360 --> 00:33:10,800
Speaker 9: got in Houston, like the culture came straight from in

758
00:33:11,040 --> 00:33:12,560
Speaker 9: like you could feel it. You sit down, you talk

759
00:33:12,600 --> 00:33:16,240
Speaker 9: with them. I remember getting here on my like free

760
00:33:16,280 --> 00:33:19,920
Speaker 9: agency visit. I sat down with them and like I knew,

761
00:33:19,960 --> 00:33:21,800
Speaker 9: I was like gonna want to come here, you know

762
00:33:21,840 --> 00:33:23,600
Speaker 9: what I mean, Like you sit down with a guy,

763
00:33:23,680 --> 00:33:25,880
Speaker 9: you see what they're about, You feel the energy that

764
00:33:25,960 --> 00:33:30,360
Speaker 9: they have for ball. It's contagious, especially with him, and

765
00:33:30,440 --> 00:33:32,560
Speaker 9: I think, you know, when you have a really strong

766
00:33:32,680 --> 00:33:35,640
Speaker 9: leader of a team, especially a team of men, like

767
00:33:36,120 --> 00:33:38,760
Speaker 9: grown men, they need a strong leader, and Demiko is

768
00:33:39,080 --> 00:33:42,440
Speaker 9: very much, very much so that. So I've enjoyed just

769
00:33:43,240 --> 00:33:45,040
Speaker 9: being a part of what he's been able to build

770
00:33:45,120 --> 00:33:48,880
Speaker 9: here and and honestly, I think you know to that credit,

771
00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:50,920
Speaker 9: like there's a lot of guys that he's brought in

772
00:33:51,080 --> 00:33:54,719
Speaker 9: and that they're some of my favorite teammates that I've

773
00:33:54,760 --> 00:33:56,800
Speaker 9: ever had, like some of the best leaders, some of

774
00:33:56,840 --> 00:34:02,000
Speaker 9: the best guys, like true veterans, true pros. And then

775
00:34:02,040 --> 00:34:03,960
Speaker 9: you couple that with a bunch of young guys that

776
00:34:04,040 --> 00:34:05,560
Speaker 9: are buying in of the same thing that we've all

777
00:34:05,640 --> 00:34:09,120
Speaker 9: bought into. Like, it's fun, man, it's it's it's fun

778
00:34:09,200 --> 00:34:12,360
Speaker 9: to go to work really, like even the offseason, the offseason,

779
00:34:12,560 --> 00:34:14,879
Speaker 9: the off season training is fun too, dude, Like it's

780
00:34:14,920 --> 00:34:15,400
Speaker 9: just a blast.

781
00:34:15,560 --> 00:34:17,439
Speaker 4: You love the guys, man, you love being around the guys,

782
00:34:17,480 --> 00:34:19,600
Speaker 4: and you love the culture. Right, So the culture you

783
00:34:19,640 --> 00:34:21,239
Speaker 4: have a head coach who's so strong, don't and show

784
00:34:21,280 --> 00:34:23,200
Speaker 4: it's joining us. You got a head coach who's so

785
00:34:23,280 --> 00:34:26,360
Speaker 4: strong in Tamiko, and they pay me not to play favorites.

786
00:34:26,400 --> 00:34:28,400
Speaker 4: But one of my favorite guys ever is Nick Sario.

787
00:34:28,960 --> 00:34:31,560
Speaker 4: And you know, I mean you were in Dallas, all right,

788
00:34:31,680 --> 00:34:34,360
Speaker 4: So they work in mysterious ways in Dallas. I'm not

789
00:34:34,440 --> 00:34:36,880
Speaker 4: looking to drag them. Well, yes I am usual, I am,

790
00:34:36,920 --> 00:34:39,120
Speaker 4: but I'm not looking to drag you in to drag them,

791
00:34:39,200 --> 00:34:41,400
Speaker 4: but they're just different. What's it like to be in

792
00:34:41,440 --> 00:34:45,239
Speaker 4: an organization where there's obviously great alignment the coach and

793
00:34:45,360 --> 00:34:48,120
Speaker 4: the players, the GM and the coach top to bottom.

794
00:34:48,440 --> 00:34:50,799
Speaker 4: You feel that, I mean, that's a great organization, am

795
00:34:50,840 --> 00:34:51,120
Speaker 4: I right?

796
00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:53,200
Speaker 5: For sure? Absolutely?

797
00:34:53,440 --> 00:34:56,279
Speaker 9: Like top down, like I would say, you feel like

798
00:34:56,320 --> 00:34:58,800
Speaker 9: everybody's on the same page. I mean, dude, Nick is

799
00:34:58,920 --> 00:35:03,120
Speaker 9: out at practic this forty yards back behind the defense

800
00:35:03,440 --> 00:35:07,799
Speaker 9: in his patented white leg power stance, Like he's got

801
00:35:07,840 --> 00:35:10,280
Speaker 9: the notebook out, He's got the buyers or on glasses

802
00:35:10,320 --> 00:35:12,919
Speaker 9: are on, like you know, he's he's out there looking

803
00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:14,759
Speaker 9: at the same stuff that we're looking at every day.

804
00:35:14,800 --> 00:35:16,840
Speaker 9: And so like you talk about a guy that just

805
00:35:16,920 --> 00:35:19,280
Speaker 9: knows ball, loves ball the same thing, like his bottom

806
00:35:19,320 --> 00:35:21,040
Speaker 9: of the culture and like has helped build that. I

807
00:35:21,120 --> 00:35:23,200
Speaker 9: think he's in that conversation too.

808
00:35:23,320 --> 00:35:26,280
Speaker 4: Dude, GM is like that. For instance, you don't always

809
00:35:26,320 --> 00:35:28,279
Speaker 4: want your GM hanging around, right, You don't want a

810
00:35:28,360 --> 00:35:31,560
Speaker 4: GM necessarily hanging around in the locker room unless you

811
00:35:31,719 --> 00:35:33,879
Speaker 4: respect that guy's a football guy. You respect that guy

812
00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:34,840
Speaker 4: with the football acumen.

813
00:35:34,960 --> 00:35:35,040
Speaker 9: Right.

814
00:35:35,120 --> 00:35:37,480
Speaker 4: It takes a certain guy like Nick to be that

815
00:35:37,640 --> 00:35:40,000
Speaker 4: welcome other and like he knows right, he knows where

816
00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:41,080
Speaker 4: he's welcome and when he's not.

817
00:35:41,400 --> 00:35:45,439
Speaker 5: But he is all ball, all ball, yeah, and he's

818
00:35:45,960 --> 00:35:47,520
Speaker 5: he's like the Miko dude. He's a he's a ball

819
00:35:47,520 --> 00:35:48,160
Speaker 5: of energy too.

820
00:35:48,400 --> 00:35:50,960
Speaker 9: I was walking around the super Bowl at Radio Row

821
00:35:51,600 --> 00:35:55,320
Speaker 9: and I'm walking down and like somebody like smacks the

822
00:35:56,040 --> 00:35:57,600
Speaker 9: heck out of me, like on my back, and I

823
00:35:57,680 --> 00:36:00,840
Speaker 9: was like, what the hell, it's Nick walking by and

824
00:36:00,920 --> 00:36:01,520
Speaker 9: he's like what's up?

825
00:36:01,560 --> 00:36:05,000
Speaker 5: Man, Like, how's it going on? He's just he's like

826
00:36:05,080 --> 00:36:06,279
Speaker 5: that dude, he's one of the guys.

827
00:36:06,840 --> 00:36:07,239
Speaker 6: Hey done.

828
00:36:07,280 --> 00:36:09,360
Speaker 4: It took you and me a long time to come together. Finally,

829
00:36:09,480 --> 00:36:11,640
Speaker 4: what about Radio row Man, how did that experience teat you?

830
00:36:11,719 --> 00:36:13,320
Speaker 4: Did you like that or was that kind of a

831
00:36:13,360 --> 00:36:13,719
Speaker 4: freak show?

832
00:36:13,760 --> 00:36:14,120
Speaker 5: Honestly?

833
00:36:14,280 --> 00:36:16,799
Speaker 9: Dude, Like I don't like doing Radio row all the time,

834
00:36:17,840 --> 00:36:20,560
Speaker 9: but when it's in a city that like I would love.

835
00:36:20,480 --> 00:36:22,640
Speaker 3: To go to, dude, well you know you know that

836
00:36:22,800 --> 00:36:24,439
Speaker 3: city I love.

837
00:36:24,560 --> 00:36:26,760
Speaker 5: Dude, my wife and I love San Francisco.

838
00:36:26,960 --> 00:36:28,680
Speaker 9: I know it gets it gets a lot of flak,

839
00:36:28,719 --> 00:36:31,200
Speaker 9: it gets a bad rap, but like we spent a

840
00:36:31,320 --> 00:36:34,080
Speaker 9: lot of time up there and we really enjoy the city.

841
00:36:34,120 --> 00:36:36,920
Speaker 9: And so you talk to me free trip out to

842
00:36:37,120 --> 00:36:39,839
Speaker 9: San Francisco to do some interviews. Dude, I'm super Dawn.

843
00:36:41,760 --> 00:36:43,319
Speaker 9: So we had we had a good time.

844
00:36:43,680 --> 00:36:45,520
Speaker 4: Before you go, somebody ask you this. I don't normally

845
00:36:45,560 --> 00:36:48,319
Speaker 4: ask a vet about the college experience, but when I've

846
00:36:48,320 --> 00:36:50,720
Speaker 4: got a Stanford man on this show, it's worth mentioning.

847
00:36:51,239 --> 00:36:54,640
Speaker 4: How did your years on the farm shape you? And

848
00:36:54,760 --> 00:36:57,160
Speaker 4: then what was it like blocking for Christian McCaffrey when

849
00:36:57,200 --> 00:36:59,720
Speaker 4: he was just putting up monster numbers for the Cardinal?

850
00:37:01,400 --> 00:37:06,759
Speaker 9: Okay, first part it was absolutely transformative for like me

851
00:37:06,880 --> 00:37:08,640
Speaker 9: as a person, me and my character.

852
00:37:09,080 --> 00:37:11,200
Speaker 5: And then the second part it.

853
00:37:11,239 --> 00:37:14,120
Speaker 9: Was the easiest thing in the world because sometimes you

854
00:37:14,120 --> 00:37:15,680
Speaker 9: didn't have to freaking block him. You just had to

855
00:37:15,719 --> 00:37:18,839
Speaker 9: touch him a little bit and pause and he was out,

856
00:37:19,200 --> 00:37:20,400
Speaker 9: Like you know what I mean, you give him six

857
00:37:20,480 --> 00:37:21,600
Speaker 9: inches he was he was gone.

858
00:37:21,680 --> 00:37:21,919
Speaker 5: Pause.

859
00:37:23,480 --> 00:37:27,840
Speaker 9: But now, dude, like at Stanford, like being like from Utah,

860
00:37:28,080 --> 00:37:32,640
Speaker 9: it's very like the the growing up there, and it's

861
00:37:32,840 --> 00:37:35,120
Speaker 9: it's very much like a bubble and you don't really

862
00:37:35,320 --> 00:37:38,920
Speaker 9: experience a whole lot outside of that bubble. So to

863
00:37:39,000 --> 00:37:41,239
Speaker 9: have the opportunity to go to a school in the

864
00:37:41,320 --> 00:37:44,840
Speaker 9: Bay and surround yourself with a bunch of people that

865
00:37:44,960 --> 00:37:47,719
Speaker 9: come from all over the world, with a bunch of

866
00:37:47,880 --> 00:37:54,960
Speaker 9: these super innovative, ambitious ideas to get to exchange like cultures,

867
00:37:55,760 --> 00:37:58,520
Speaker 9: you know, outside of the classroom inside of the classroom,

868
00:37:59,080 --> 00:38:00,920
Speaker 9: to have a bunch of professors that are like so

869
00:38:01,200 --> 00:38:04,440
Speaker 9: willing to bend over and like truly help you succeed.

870
00:38:06,239 --> 00:38:09,479
Speaker 9: Like there people always ask like, was it was Timford hard?

871
00:38:09,800 --> 00:38:13,239
Speaker 9: Like really it wasn't, just because like there are so

872
00:38:13,360 --> 00:38:18,440
Speaker 9: many tools and resources and teachers and thas and classmates

873
00:38:18,520 --> 00:38:21,000
Speaker 9: that like want to help you succeed and want to

874
00:38:21,080 --> 00:38:22,640
Speaker 9: see you have success.

875
00:38:23,520 --> 00:38:27,040
Speaker 5: And yeah, dude, it was. It was amazing. Definitely.

876
00:38:27,800 --> 00:38:30,480
Speaker 9: That was one of the best decisions that I've ever

877
00:38:30,520 --> 00:38:32,520
Speaker 9: made in my life was getting out of Utah and

878
00:38:32,640 --> 00:38:37,799
Speaker 9: experiencing just that Stanford culture out in the Bay.

879
00:38:37,960 --> 00:38:38,120
Speaker 3: It was.

880
00:38:38,200 --> 00:38:38,840
Speaker 5: It was awesome.

881
00:38:39,360 --> 00:38:40,920
Speaker 4: 'd say, it's so amazing you understand that. I think

882
00:38:40,920 --> 00:38:42,759
Speaker 4: that's great that your perspective on that is so good,

883
00:38:42,800 --> 00:38:47,040
Speaker 4: because like you don't fully understand how unique the situation is. Man,

884
00:38:47,120 --> 00:38:48,600
Speaker 4: it sounds like you drink it all up and you

885
00:38:48,719 --> 00:38:51,040
Speaker 4: fully fully understood it. So what do you think you

886
00:38:51,160 --> 00:38:52,320
Speaker 4: end up when it's all said and done and you

887
00:38:52,400 --> 00:38:54,040
Speaker 4: got everything in front of you still yet I know

888
00:38:54,120 --> 00:38:56,080
Speaker 4: you badly want that Super Bowl. You guys had a

889
00:38:56,080 --> 00:38:57,840
Speaker 4: good look at it this year. Well what do you

890
00:38:57,840 --> 00:39:00,920
Speaker 4: think when it's all said and done, head back to Utah?

891
00:39:01,239 --> 00:39:03,280
Speaker 4: Do you come to California? Do you go to California?

892
00:39:03,280 --> 00:39:04,160
Speaker 6: I mean, what do you do? Where do you go?

893
00:39:05,160 --> 00:39:07,279
Speaker 9: We talk about that. We talk about that a lot.

894
00:39:09,360 --> 00:39:11,600
Speaker 9: And I think when the kids are grown up and

895
00:39:11,680 --> 00:39:14,160
Speaker 9: the kids are out, like my wife and I we

896
00:39:14,600 --> 00:39:17,359
Speaker 9: we love mountains, and so as much as we love

897
00:39:17,440 --> 00:39:20,920
Speaker 9: living in Texas, like, mountains are calling. At some point

898
00:39:21,640 --> 00:39:25,200
Speaker 9: we're going to get out to the mountains. We've talked

899
00:39:25,239 --> 00:39:31,239
Speaker 9: about Tahoe. We talked about the pack Northwest, like we'll see,

900
00:39:31,320 --> 00:39:34,400
Speaker 9: but yeah, if I had to guess, it's probably somewhere

901
00:39:34,440 --> 00:39:37,120
Speaker 9: closer to the West Coast, guess because that's.

902
00:39:37,120 --> 00:39:40,399
Speaker 4: It makes sense, man, Mountains, The mountains makes sense.

903
00:39:40,480 --> 00:39:41,560
Speaker 5: Beautiful out in California.

904
00:39:41,600 --> 00:39:44,080

Speaker 1: watching the basketball scenes in pleasant fille or something. It

932
00:40:52,719 --> 00:40:54,799

Speaker 1: git back because players were slipping could have been a problem.

936
00:41:03,880 --> 00:41:06,680
Speaker 1: Iowa State in Arizona hooking up. So let's go to

937
00:41:06,840 --> 00:41:10,960
Speaker 1: Jake Hobble with his opinion on this matchup. Jake, great

938
00:41:11,000 --> 00:41:14,239
Speaker 1: to have you with us. Yeah, big time cycling hoops fan.

939
00:41:15,520 --> 00:41:17,600
Speaker 10: Yeah, I really pumped this game tonight, actually heading back

940
00:41:17,600 --> 00:41:21,000
Speaker 10: home and we'll be watching it at my house probably

941
00:41:21,040 --> 00:41:24,359
Speaker 10: with a big crew, and really pumped for it. And yeah,

942
00:41:24,400 --> 00:41:27,600
Speaker 10: it's tough matchup. We'll have to get our revenge on

943
00:41:27,760 --> 00:41:30,200
Speaker 10: him because I think got us the last time. So

944
00:41:30,480 --> 00:41:31,920
Speaker 10: but this is the more important one, right.

945
00:41:32,200 --> 00:41:35,279
Speaker 1: I feel like we have a Cyclone podcast brewing soon

946
00:41:35,440 --> 00:41:37,560
Speaker 1: because we have so many cyclones here. We added you

947
00:41:37,640 --> 00:41:40,399
Speaker 1: to the mix now. And you actually played with David

948
00:41:40,440 --> 00:41:42,040
Speaker 1: Montgomery in Ames.

949
00:41:42,160 --> 00:41:42,920
Speaker 3: What was that like?

950
00:41:43,040 --> 00:41:45,279
Speaker 1: Those were some pretty good teams. Iowa stayed on the

951
00:41:45,400 --> 00:41:46,560
Speaker 1: rise under Matt Campbell.

952
00:41:47,080 --> 00:41:51,279
Speaker 10: Yeah, I remember David coming in. Oh, I mean he

953
00:41:51,360 --> 00:41:54,080
Speaker 10: was there before me, but we had another great running

954
00:41:54,120 --> 00:41:56,160
Speaker 10: back at the time. And when David came in, he

955
00:41:56,280 --> 00:41:59,120
Speaker 10: kind of took over and you could just see it

956
00:41:59,239 --> 00:42:01,600
Speaker 10: was just his peer or you know, just not on

957
00:42:01,840 --> 00:42:03,600
Speaker 10: let alone his talent. It was like his work, ethic,

958
00:42:03,680 --> 00:42:06,160
Speaker 10: all those things. And uh, it was just cool to

959
00:42:06,600 --> 00:42:09,080
Speaker 10: play with him, play against him in practice, all those things.

960
00:42:09,120 --> 00:42:12,160
Speaker 10: And uh, and everyone knew the success he would have

961
00:42:12,520 --> 00:42:15,000
Speaker 10: at the NFL level. It was just a matter of

962
00:42:15,080 --> 00:42:17,520
Speaker 10: time of watching it, you know. So it's really cool

963
00:42:17,600 --> 00:42:20,200
Speaker 10: to also now play with him, you know, all those

964
00:42:20,280 --> 00:42:23,399
Speaker 10: years later. And Uh, what's cool too, is like you said,

965
00:42:23,440 --> 00:42:26,799
Speaker 10: like with all the Cyclones on the Houston Texans now

966
00:42:27,320 --> 00:42:29,120
Speaker 10: I kind of it's like I bridged the gap between

967
00:42:29,160 --> 00:42:31,680
Speaker 10: like Da Montgomery and then I also played with Xavier

968
00:42:31,760 --> 00:42:33,759
Speaker 10: and Jalen and yeah, so it's cool.

969
00:42:33,880 --> 00:42:37,040
Speaker 1: It's yeah, that's amazing, Jake.

970
00:42:37,360 --> 00:42:39,520
Speaker 6: And what is it about that program?

971
00:42:39,960 --> 00:42:42,480
Speaker 1: Because the Cyclones you have rock party in San Francisco,

972
00:42:42,560 --> 00:42:44,560
Speaker 1: you guys aren't the only ones. So what is it

973
00:42:44,600 --> 00:42:47,640
Speaker 1: about Matt Campbell and that program that makes so many

974
00:42:47,680 --> 00:42:49,160
Speaker 1: of you guys good NFL players?

975
00:42:49,920 --> 00:42:50,120
Speaker 3: Yeah?

976
00:42:50,200 --> 00:42:52,880
Speaker 10: Well I think, yeah, I mean under Matt Campbell, things

977
00:42:53,120 --> 00:42:57,040
Speaker 10: changed a lot, and you're starting to see the development

978
00:42:57,080 --> 00:42:59,359
Speaker 10: of that program and that and now it's paying off

979
00:42:59,400 --> 00:43:03,360
Speaker 10: finally in your seeing you know, the much more NFL

980
00:43:03,440 --> 00:43:05,440
Speaker 10: talent coming out of that place, you know. And now

981
00:43:05,760 --> 00:43:09,200
Speaker 10: mccanmill's gone, but I think a lot of reputation will

982
00:43:09,280 --> 00:43:13,000
Speaker 10: stand even with the new coach, Very very confident in that,

983
00:43:13,160 --> 00:43:15,759
Speaker 10: and hopefully we just get to see more and more

984
00:43:16,000 --> 00:43:17,280
Speaker 10: cyclones in the league.

985
00:43:17,480 --> 00:43:20,440
Speaker 1: So tell the fans what they're getting in Jake Hummel,

986
00:43:20,560 --> 00:43:21,200
Speaker 1: the linebacker.

987
00:43:22,120 --> 00:43:25,320
Speaker 10: You know, when when I was talking to you know,

988
00:43:25,400 --> 00:43:29,160
Speaker 10: special teams coach about coming here, I just like, I

989
00:43:29,280 --> 00:43:31,359
Speaker 10: want to play for a team that had a chance

990
00:43:31,400 --> 00:43:34,200
Speaker 10: to compete in the postseason, go win a championship, and

991
00:43:34,280 --> 00:43:36,759
Speaker 10: then I just wanted to help that team win. And

992
00:43:37,040 --> 00:43:39,600
Speaker 10: any way I can, whether that's you know, whatever that

993
00:43:39,680 --> 00:43:43,920
Speaker 10: might be, linebacker, special teams, just however can do it.

994
00:43:44,000 --> 00:43:44,960
Speaker 5: I want to help this team win.

995
00:43:45,480 --> 00:43:47,239
Speaker 1: Yeah, And how hard is it to do what you

996
00:43:47,400 --> 00:43:49,600
Speaker 1: do when you are a special team stand out have

997
00:43:49,760 --> 00:43:52,560
Speaker 1: to play defense and you have to know all the

998
00:43:52,680 --> 00:43:56,719
Speaker 1: spots everywhere practice Sometimes you don't get that break. You're

999
00:43:56,760 --> 00:43:59,080
Speaker 1: going special teams to defense, back to special teams.

1000
00:43:59,080 --> 00:43:59,719
Speaker 3: How does that work for you?

1001
00:43:59,840 --> 00:44:02,080
Speaker 10: J Yeah, you know, it's something that I've had to

1002
00:44:02,160 --> 00:44:04,960
Speaker 10: work on over the last two years, and I think

1003
00:44:04,960 --> 00:44:06,680
Speaker 10: I've gotten better at it's just in it. And then

1004
00:44:06,800 --> 00:44:09,040
Speaker 10: like you said, it's going back and forth between the two.

1005
00:44:10,120 --> 00:44:12,160
Speaker 10: It's more just actually because you don't get you might

1006
00:44:12,200 --> 00:44:15,080
Speaker 10: not as get the reps as like a starting linebackers

1007
00:44:15,160 --> 00:44:17,640
Speaker 10: prepared to play a full game at linebacker like you

1008
00:44:17,719 --> 00:44:20,000
Speaker 10: were like you were getting at So that's the key.

1009
00:44:20,080 --> 00:44:22,800
Speaker 10: There is just the mental preparation behind it all along

1010
00:44:22,880 --> 00:44:26,560
Speaker 10: with the physical preparation that you need to play special teams,

1011
00:44:26,640 --> 00:44:27,920
Speaker 10: like you know, you got to keep your you know,

1012
00:44:28,080 --> 00:44:30,480
Speaker 10: your speed up and your you know, you're jelly up,

1013
00:44:30,520 --> 00:44:32,759
Speaker 10: your strength, all those things that you need for uh

1014
00:44:33,000 --> 00:44:34,520
Speaker 10: to be able to play special teams at a high

1015
00:44:34,560 --> 00:44:35,080
Speaker 10: level as well.

1016
00:44:35,760 --> 00:44:37,399
Speaker 6: You came into this league on fire.

1017
00:44:37,520 --> 00:44:40,759
Speaker 1: Did you not set the preseason tackle record right out

1018
00:44:40,800 --> 00:44:42,840
Speaker 1: of the gate or something with the Rams when you

1019
00:44:42,920 --> 00:44:43,440
Speaker 1: were with them?

1020
00:44:43,960 --> 00:44:44,799
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think I did.

1021
00:44:45,000 --> 00:44:45,120
Speaker 3: Uh.

1022
00:44:45,520 --> 00:44:46,960
Speaker 6: I think I just got a bunch of reps.

1023
00:44:47,040 --> 00:44:49,120
Speaker 10: I think I think I played like every single snap

1024
00:44:49,200 --> 00:44:54,400
Speaker 10: and every single preseason game that yeah, I just credited

1025
00:44:54,480 --> 00:44:56,360
Speaker 10: to just the amount of snaps I got maybe, but.

1026
00:44:56,920 --> 00:44:58,200
Speaker 6: Yeah, but that I have to help.

1027
00:44:58,360 --> 00:45:01,360
Speaker 1: And and you're looking at being a veteran here and

1028
00:45:01,440 --> 00:45:03,279
Speaker 1: you see some young guys coming in because we'll love

1029
00:45:03,320 --> 00:45:05,920
Speaker 1: the draft soon enough and undrafted free agents, and what

1030
00:45:06,000 --> 00:45:08,879
Speaker 1: would your advice to them be coming in to try

1031
00:45:09,000 --> 00:45:12,000
Speaker 1: to make it in the NFL Because you've been scrappy

1032
00:45:12,040 --> 00:45:14,040
Speaker 1: and you've been doing it your way. What is a

1033
00:45:14,120 --> 00:45:16,160
Speaker 1: good way for these guys to really catch on and

1034
00:45:16,200 --> 00:45:17,600
Speaker 1: solidify their NFL status.

1035
00:45:18,400 --> 00:45:19,600
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, I think it's just.

1036
00:45:21,239 --> 00:45:24,239
Speaker 10: It's kind of a typical saying, but it's just kind

1037
00:45:24,280 --> 00:45:26,440
Speaker 10: of do your job, you know, every time of the day,

1038
00:45:26,760 --> 00:45:30,080
Speaker 10: whatever that might be, whatever you're asked to do. You

1039
00:45:30,239 --> 00:45:32,840
Speaker 10: just got to focus on that moment and try to

1040
00:45:32,880 --> 00:45:35,279
Speaker 10: do your best at it. And then also, like I

1041
00:45:35,360 --> 00:45:38,000
Speaker 10: said earlier, it's about the mental preparation, especially early on

1042
00:45:38,200 --> 00:45:40,719
Speaker 10: as a rookie, trying to get the playbook down, and

1043
00:45:40,800 --> 00:45:43,799
Speaker 10: then just you know, make the most of your opportunities.

1044
00:45:43,880 --> 00:45:45,719
Speaker 10: You know, you just got to, like every chance you

1045
00:45:45,760 --> 00:45:48,480
Speaker 10: get on the field, take it and run with it essentially,

1046
00:45:48,560 --> 00:45:50,040
Speaker 10: and try not to hesitate.

1047
00:45:50,440 --> 00:45:52,520
Speaker 1: Jake, what do you know about Houston anything? Is this

1048
00:45:52,640 --> 00:45:54,879
Speaker 1: a brand new experience to you? Have you been here before,

1049
00:45:54,960 --> 00:45:56,480
Speaker 1: spent any time here? What can you tell me?

1050
00:45:56,719 --> 00:45:59,839
Speaker 10: Not really like any real time? Just I came down

1051
00:46:00,160 --> 00:46:02,880
Speaker 10: a couple of years ago we camped. When I was

1052
00:46:02,960 --> 00:46:07,040
Speaker 10: on the rams here, it was very hot, very humid,

1053
00:46:07,760 --> 00:46:10,680
Speaker 10: remember that one, and but not and I haven't been

1054
00:46:10,680 --> 00:46:13,560
Speaker 10: able to get on the city much. But over the

1055
00:46:13,680 --> 00:46:15,799
Speaker 10: last you know, twenty four hours or so, just kind

1056
00:46:15,840 --> 00:46:18,520
Speaker 10: of driving around, we were able to go to the

1057
00:46:18,880 --> 00:46:21,480
Speaker 10: road here here last night. Oh good, and saw Chris

1058
00:46:21,480 --> 00:46:25,200
Speaker 10: Stapleton as well. It was awesome. Yeah, I mean, just

1059
00:46:25,800 --> 00:46:27,480
Speaker 10: even a little bit i've been here, I can just

1060
00:46:27,600 --> 00:46:31,040
Speaker 10: tell it's right up kind of my alley for a

1061
00:46:31,120 --> 00:46:31,960
Speaker 10: place I want to live.

1062
00:46:32,040 --> 00:46:34,080
Speaker 1: So yeah, that hot gum a day with the rams,

1063
00:46:34,120 --> 00:46:37,440
Speaker 1: that's that's an yeah like that, Jake, don't worry about

1064
00:46:37,520 --> 00:46:40,120
Speaker 1: that at all. Back to Iowa for a moment, because

1065
00:46:40,120 --> 00:46:43,200
Speaker 1: you're from Des Moines and you spent obviously a lot

1066
00:46:43,239 --> 00:46:45,919
Speaker 1: of time in Iowa, went to school there, So give

1067
00:46:46,000 --> 00:46:50,239
Speaker 1: me the Convention and Visitors Bureau pitch on Iowa, all right,

1068
00:46:50,440 --> 00:46:53,480
Speaker 1: field of dreams. I know des Moin's different, but what

1069
00:46:53,600 --> 00:46:56,239
Speaker 1: do you think here Iowa? Place to visit, place to live,

1070
00:46:56,320 --> 00:46:58,279
Speaker 1: place to be. Go ahead, Jake, Okay.

1071
00:46:59,080 --> 00:47:00,800
Speaker 10: Yeah, I think for a lot of people is a

1072
00:47:00,840 --> 00:47:02,800
Speaker 10: tough sell, but for me it's I kind of like

1073
00:47:03,040 --> 00:47:08,239
Speaker 10: like baseball. I romanticize Iowa. So there's like, you know, yeah,

1074
00:47:08,280 --> 00:47:10,000
Speaker 10: the winners are long. But at the end of the

1075
00:47:10,080 --> 00:47:12,239
Speaker 10: day on that once spring turns over, like we're gonna

1076
00:47:12,239 --> 00:47:14,799
Speaker 10: get here in the next week or so. It's it's

1077
00:47:14,840 --> 00:47:18,000
Speaker 10: a beautiful state, beautiful place to live. People are great.

1078
00:47:18,120 --> 00:47:21,840
Speaker 10: Just stuck down here. People are very nice, very welcoming

1079
00:47:21,960 --> 00:47:24,879
Speaker 10: and uh and yeah, like once it warms up, there's

1080
00:47:24,920 --> 00:47:27,200
Speaker 10: plenty of stuff to do, plenty of plenty of ways

1081
00:47:27,200 --> 00:47:27,640
Speaker 10: to have fun.

1082
00:47:27,800 --> 00:47:30,040
Speaker 1: So we don't have spring here, Jake. We go from

1083
00:47:30,200 --> 00:47:32,960
Speaker 1: kind of cold, cold hot to full blown hot. So

1084
00:47:33,120 --> 00:47:35,200
Speaker 1: you'll find out. But it's a pleasure to have here.

1085
00:47:35,280 --> 00:47:36,160
Speaker 1: Welcome to the Texans.

1086
00:47:36,239 --> 00:47:37,239
Speaker 6: Yeah, my pleasure as well.

1087
00:47:37,360 --> 00:47:37,640
