1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,200 Speaker 1: Hello Texans, and welcome. We have a round table here 2 00:00:03,240 --> 00:00:06,000 Speaker 1: and we've debated on what we were going to talk about. 3 00:00:06,080 --> 00:00:08,440 Speaker 1: At first, it was going to be a look back 4 00:00:08,480 --> 00:00:10,119 Speaker 1: at twenty twenty one, but we said, you know what, 5 00:00:10,640 --> 00:00:14,200 Speaker 1: that's so bad to look back? You want a teen 6 00:00:14,320 --> 00:00:17,599 Speaker 1: loss word? Yeah, thirteen losses? You want to just say, 7 00:00:17,840 --> 00:00:22,880 Speaker 1: let's turn the page, look forward, twenty twenty two, exciting schedule, 8 00:00:23,200 --> 00:00:26,560 Speaker 1: new coaches, Let's see what happens in year two of 9 00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:30,680 Speaker 1: the Cassario era. So here are some categories we've established, 10 00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:33,680 Speaker 1: and we'll probably adjust these along the way. Let's go 11 00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:38,000 Speaker 1: with players were looking forward to seeing and maybe rookies. 12 00:00:38,120 --> 00:00:40,360 Speaker 1: Shall we do that? Drew Johnny Deep you think so? 13 00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:43,680 Speaker 1: Please people who were rookies this year, and I think 14 00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:45,920 Speaker 1: there's one very obvious one, but DP, I'm gonna allow 15 00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:49,040 Speaker 1: you to start here and take that person, or take 16 00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:51,639 Speaker 1: another person if you like. I mean, I'm gonna take 17 00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:53,360 Speaker 1: Davis Mills. I thought you were going to say, pick 18 00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:55,560 Speaker 1: a rookie that's not named Davis Mills, but we don't 19 00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:58,200 Speaker 1: really have a lot of rookies, so limiting, so I'm 20 00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:01,080 Speaker 1: gonna take the obvious one, Davis Mills. The way he 21 00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:03,120 Speaker 1: ended the year. I mean, gave a lot of people hope, 22 00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:05,440 Speaker 1: so much hope that now we're not even talking about 23 00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:07,600 Speaker 1: quarterbacks in the draft. We're talking about all the other 24 00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:10,840 Speaker 1: position groups. So I think with a full season under 25 00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:12,759 Speaker 1: his belt, I mean, he didn't even have He wasn't 26 00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:15,200 Speaker 1: even named the starter heading into week one, you know, 27 00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:18,679 Speaker 1: heading into OTAs and training camp to get all those 28 00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:21,679 Speaker 1: reps and nancy how well he does. I'm I'm super excited. 29 00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:24,000 Speaker 1: I know everybody is, but that's got to be the 30 00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:26,679 Speaker 1: obvious choice for mean Davis Mills so so pumped to 31 00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:29,279 Speaker 1: see him in year two. Number one in the red zone, 32 00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:32,399 Speaker 1: eight touchdowns, no picks. Not a big sample size, but 33 00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:34,320 Speaker 1: that was notable to me that he put up that 34 00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:39,160 Speaker 1: stat Johnny, what do you have. I'll take the road 35 00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:44,200 Speaker 1: less travel, I'll take Garret Wallow linebacker. I'll leave the 36 00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:47,720 Speaker 1: I'll leave the higher ranked flyboys to the rest of you. 37 00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:51,800 Speaker 1: If there's one thing, if there's one thing that we 38 00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:55,240 Speaker 1: saw Garret Wallow being on the fiodo's speed. Now he's 39 00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:59,120 Speaker 1: grown up in Riveridge, john Curtis, I haven't played in 40 00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:02,280 Speaker 1: New Orleans for Johnny Curtis. There he played Gary TCU 41 00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:05,560 Speaker 1: for Garry Patterson. The guy knows defense. He's smart, but man, 42 00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:07,680 Speaker 1: when you see him run and close on the football, 43 00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:10,600 Speaker 1: myke goodness. So the linebacker corps last year in the 44 00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:12,680 Speaker 1: training camp, I remember counting, like, man, there are seven 45 00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:16,440 Speaker 1: vets in Garrett and there were seven vets, six of 46 00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:20,080 Speaker 1: them came from different locations. And then Zach well, obviously 47 00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:22,200 Speaker 1: we know what happened to Zach, So we don't know 48 00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:26,400 Speaker 1: how that position is gonna be situated this year. However, 49 00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:28,600 Speaker 1: I think Garrett Wallow's got to play a role in 50 00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:30,280 Speaker 1: it some way, shape or form. I don't know if 51 00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:33,040 Speaker 1: it's as a permanent starter in his defense, but I 52 00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:36,120 Speaker 1: know he runs to the football like you want a 53 00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:39,840 Speaker 1: twenty twenty two NFL linebacker to run to football. We 54 00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:42,399 Speaker 1: used to have a guy's like Bmac and Cushing. Those 55 00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:45,160 Speaker 1: guys are now outside linebackers or they're out of the league. 56 00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:47,480 Speaker 1: You have to be able to fly, you have to 57 00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:49,280 Speaker 1: be able to run, and Garrett Wallo can do that. 58 00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:51,799 Speaker 1: So I'm going Garrett Wallo to impact his defense. I'm 59 00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:53,320 Speaker 1: really excited about what he can do. Even though he 60 00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:56,680 Speaker 1: had the least amount of starts all these rookies, Garrett 61 00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:59,079 Speaker 1: Wallow is a guy that I'm most excited about going 62 00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:02,360 Speaker 1: to twenty twenty two. Nice Drew. He was a baller 63 00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:04,639 Speaker 1: on special teams too, so that there's a book, Two 64 00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:06,760 Speaker 1: good Choices by the two of you. I'm gonna go 65 00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:10,000 Speaker 1: with Roy Lopez. He was somebody that we kind of 66 00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:13,359 Speaker 1: fixated on here internally right after he was drafted, as 67 00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:16,480 Speaker 1: we saw more about Oh he's a wrestler. Oh, his 68 00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:19,640 Speaker 1: dad is a high school head coach. Oh, he transferred 69 00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:21,799 Speaker 1: and did this. Oh we heard from Sean Cody who 70 00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:23,760 Speaker 1: called one of his games and played the same position 71 00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:26,000 Speaker 1: and he said he did so. Like we were kind 72 00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:27,920 Speaker 1: of excited about him, you know, And he was the 73 00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:30,360 Speaker 1: last guy picked, and then all he does is coming 74 00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:33,960 Speaker 1: to camp pretty much take a starting position starting in 75 00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:37,000 Speaker 1: week two and do what you need the guy to do, 76 00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:39,920 Speaker 1: and a little bit more at a very thankless position 77 00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:42,280 Speaker 1: there on the interior of the defensive line. And then 78 00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:44,480 Speaker 1: kind of the cherry on top of it for me 79 00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:48,080 Speaker 1: was he was the last player I interviewed for the 80 00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:51,680 Speaker 1: player pregame show that we do on the radio, and 81 00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:53,839 Speaker 1: also I do it Drew's dozen with him, and he's 82 00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:56,240 Speaker 1: just kind of really inspiring. You know, talking about his 83 00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:59,640 Speaker 1: journey and talking about how his family means so much 84 00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:01,400 Speaker 1: to him and how he was, you know, when he 85 00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:04,000 Speaker 1: was succeeding, he was doing it for them and it 86 00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:05,920 Speaker 1: made him feel so warm, and I kind of, you know, 87 00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:08,680 Speaker 1: almost had a tear tingled down to my eye. But 88 00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:11,960 Speaker 1: he was talking about his goals for a year two 89 00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:15,040 Speaker 1: and if you listen to him, he hasn't even scratched 90 00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:16,880 Speaker 1: the surface of what he believes he can be. So 91 00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:19,200 Speaker 1: that's got me enthused because I thought he played at 92 00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:21,919 Speaker 1: an above average level this year as a rookie, So 93 00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:23,919 Speaker 1: I can't wait to see what he does in year two. 94 00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:26,119 Speaker 1: I like that, and you know what that means because 95 00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:29,880 Speaker 1: I have the past catchers left as rookies and got 96 00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:34,080 Speaker 1: a Brevin Jordan, Nico Collins honorable mentioned Jimmy Morrissey had 97 00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:37,359 Speaker 1: played center as a guy who they didn't draft, But 98 00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:39,320 Speaker 1: he's a rookie and we'll see what he can do. 99 00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:41,279 Speaker 1: But I'll go with Nico. I mean, come on, Nico 100 00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:44,920 Speaker 1: going into year two didn't play football in twenty twenty 101 00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:48,440 Speaker 1: during the COVID year at Michigan, came in did some things, 102 00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:51,400 Speaker 1: no doubt about it. Play of the Year I think 103 00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:52,839 Speaker 1: this is my play of the year, and I don't 104 00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:54,799 Speaker 1: even think we featured it in our video of plays 105 00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:58,720 Speaker 1: of the year, which was the dagger that Davis Mills 106 00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:01,960 Speaker 1: threw to Nico on that slant against the Chargers because 107 00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:04,359 Speaker 1: he audibled into it and he had a rookie snap 108 00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:07,080 Speaker 1: on the ball, a rookie throwing the ball or rookie 109 00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:11,000 Speaker 1: catching the ball. Hail to the rookies. So Nico's my guy. 110 00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:13,880 Speaker 1: All right, let's go with non rookie. You're excited to 111 00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:18,200 Speaker 1: see next year. Now, some of the people aren't under contract. 112 00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:20,760 Speaker 1: Maybe we can influence Nick Kasserio to sign some of 113 00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:22,919 Speaker 1: these guys. I don't know, but we do have the 114 00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:25,120 Speaker 1: draft classroom twenty twenty. We do have some people to 115 00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:26,920 Speaker 1: pick from that we are very confident are going to 116 00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:29,400 Speaker 1: be around in twenty twenty two. You never know, but 117 00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:31,840 Speaker 1: let's just hope. Deepe, what do you have you go first? 118 00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:34,800 Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, I've got John Grenard. Okay. I love 119 00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:37,520 Speaker 1: what he was able to do. He seemed really disappointed 120 00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:41,159 Speaker 1: with year two, unfortunately for him, because I thought he 121 00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:43,680 Speaker 1: really showed out in year two compared to his rookie year. 122 00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:46,080 Speaker 1: Where we're not we're really sure what to make of him, 123 00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:48,880 Speaker 1: but he really flourished moving up to the d line. 124 00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:51,120 Speaker 1: He had eight sacks. I know he was he was 125 00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:53,680 Speaker 1: more disappointed that he didn't get to double digit sacks. 126 00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:56,200 Speaker 1: But he only played in like twelve games. I mean, 127 00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:58,560 Speaker 1: he missed some games with injury, miss some games with COVID. 128 00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:01,520 Speaker 1: He says he's gonna work with offseason on his body, 129 00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:05,360 Speaker 1: getting hit healthy, getting ready. He is so not satisfied 130 00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:07,160 Speaker 1: with the stats that he's put up, and he's not 131 00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:09,320 Speaker 1: satisfied with stats in general. He just wants to go 132 00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:12,440 Speaker 1: out and win games. But the way he just conducts 133 00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:15,279 Speaker 1: himself and press conferences and interviews, I felt like he 134 00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:17,680 Speaker 1: really made a rookie jump there too. I mean, he 135 00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:20,160 Speaker 1: was pretty good as a rookie, but every time he 136 00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:22,680 Speaker 1: went to the podium, every time he talked, I mean, 137 00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:26,640 Speaker 1: he's just very honest and open and mister personality. I 138 00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:28,360 Speaker 1: had a chance to interview him for the Deep Slant. 139 00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:30,200 Speaker 1: He talks so much about his mom and where he's 140 00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:32,880 Speaker 1: come from. He just seems so humble and appreciative and 141 00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:35,919 Speaker 1: yet really likable and funny. So when a guy like 142 00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:38,400 Speaker 1: that does well in the field, it's it's super exciting 143 00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:40,440 Speaker 1: to see. And can I just add that he is 144 00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:46,000 Speaker 1: going to be on Monday's episode of The Bachelor. Oh 145 00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:49,159 Speaker 1: that's big, Sarah, that's big. Didn't they shoot that a 146 00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:51,920 Speaker 1: while back? And he shot it a while back. He's 147 00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:53,560 Speaker 1: not the only one. And I don't know if I'm 148 00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:56,560 Speaker 1: allowed to say who the other person is. But John 149 00:06:56,640 --> 00:07:00,880 Speaker 1: Grenard did he get a rose? Or I don't even know? Okay, 150 00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:04,440 Speaker 1: he's not the Bachelor. He's a joke on the show. 151 00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:08,680 Speaker 1: I see. I feel like I should throw an author too, 152 00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:12,240 Speaker 1: So John Johnny watches a Bachelor. I know you two don't, 153 00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:14,240 Speaker 1: but maybe that'll entice you to. You guys should do 154 00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:16,520 Speaker 1: a podcast on The Bachelor. Anyway, Johnny, what do you 155 00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:19,360 Speaker 1: have in this category of players who are not rookies 156 00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:21,400 Speaker 1: likely to be back in twenty twenty two that you're 157 00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:25,240 Speaker 1: excited to see? Okay, watch me destroy Deepi's thoughts of me. 158 00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:27,800 Speaker 1: I did not watch one ounce of The Bachelor when 159 00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:29,800 Speaker 1: my daughter and wife were in Los Angeles, so I 160 00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:32,000 Speaker 1: don't know what that says about their influence on me 161 00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:35,080 Speaker 1: mine on them. But I didn't watch any of the 162 00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:41,160 Speaker 1: bacheloret recent season. I will sum up this person with 163 00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:44,160 Speaker 1: and if you think about it for a second, you 164 00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:49,600 Speaker 1: realize John's right. There is no more important person this 165 00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:55,600 Speaker 1: offseason outside of Davis Mills from a player perspective, than 166 00:07:55,720 --> 00:08:02,120 Speaker 1: Titus Howard. Oh he stole yours, Drew great one. I 167 00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:06,800 Speaker 1: think Titus Howard is the biggest domino of all to 168 00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:12,240 Speaker 1: fall for this team because you have to figure out 169 00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:15,920 Speaker 1: what he is. Is he an interior offensive lineman? Is 170 00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:19,960 Speaker 1: he a tackle? If he's a tackle, which side? And 171 00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:23,000 Speaker 1: if he is the left side, then what happens to Laramie? 172 00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:26,520 Speaker 1: As I said, the dominoes have to fall and Titus 173 00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:32,440 Speaker 1: Howard and the organization's evaluation of Titus Howard becomes that 174 00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:37,920 Speaker 1: much more important. And it was very clear just watching Titus. 175 00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:41,520 Speaker 1: I don't I mean, PFF grades were like twenty something 176 00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:44,920 Speaker 1: points different from guard to tackle, But you didn't even 177 00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:47,200 Speaker 1: need that. You just needed to watch. And when you 178 00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:50,600 Speaker 1: watch Titus at guard, you could tell not very comfortable. 179 00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:52,560 Speaker 1: You get him out on a tackle on the edge 180 00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:55,120 Speaker 1: where it's used to playing. And I saw him after 181 00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:56,880 Speaker 1: the Chargers game and I looked at him, I said, 182 00:08:57,320 --> 00:08:59,960 Speaker 1: just like riding a bike, huh. And you look back 183 00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:02,640 Speaker 1: to me and said best grade I had all year. 184 00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:05,640 Speaker 1: So Titus is very aware of it as well. He 185 00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:07,840 Speaker 1: won't say it because he is a good teammate trying 186 00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:11,400 Speaker 1: to be a great teammate. He I think would love 187 00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:15,679 Speaker 1: to play tackle. That then sets off dominoes for a 188 00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:18,200 Speaker 1: lot of different things. Number One, what happens to Laramie. 189 00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:23,080 Speaker 1: Number two, the strength of this draft is in the 190 00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:27,280 Speaker 1: tackle position, so that then you look at at the 191 00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:29,680 Speaker 1: top of the draft, I have four offensive linemen at 192 00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:32,680 Speaker 1: the top ten, three of them are tackle candidates. So 193 00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:36,679 Speaker 1: from that perspective, Titus Howard carries a lot of importance 194 00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:41,400 Speaker 1: this offseason and on twenty twenty two. Great that he 195 00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:44,360 Speaker 1: got to play so many different positions this year. I 196 00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:47,080 Speaker 1: mean the season itself was not great, but it was 197 00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:50,080 Speaker 1: great for players because of COVID. You got to see 198 00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:53,200 Speaker 1: them start in spots that you normally wouldn't have put 199 00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:56,199 Speaker 1: them placed them in. So I feel like to your point, 200 00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:58,000 Speaker 1: and Johnny, he I mean, we were able to see 201 00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:01,520 Speaker 1: him great at the guard position, left tackle. You know 202 00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:04,000 Speaker 1: somebody could do at right tackle the first two years, 203 00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:06,160 Speaker 1: and now you kind of know what you have in him. 204 00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:09,480 Speaker 1: I feel like moving forward and you're right, it's if 205 00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:12,439 Speaker 1: the decision time is what it is. It's now decision time. 206 00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:15,920 Speaker 1: Because for Titus, poor Titus, he played the very first 207 00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:18,360 Speaker 1: game of his career at guard. Then he moved out 208 00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:22,360 Speaker 1: to tackle in his rookie year, then he got hurt. 209 00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:24,400 Speaker 1: After a good rookieyear, he came back the next year 210 00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:26,760 Speaker 1: he's playing right tackle, and this year he moved into guard. 211 00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:29,440 Speaker 1: I don't disagree with you dep that you know, hey, 212 00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:33,240 Speaker 1: this year, yes, this was a great year to get 213 00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:37,520 Speaker 1: a good look at everybody, to evaluate what you had, because, 214 00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:40,439 Speaker 1: as Nick Cassarius said many times, this is going to 215 00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:43,959 Speaker 1: be process over results, and so yes, it's a year 216 00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:46,000 Speaker 1: in a career. You don't ever want to waste a 217 00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:49,320 Speaker 1: year in some sense, but this year was a great 218 00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:52,000 Speaker 1: year to be able to look at players at various 219 00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:55,920 Speaker 1: positions and then go into twenty twenty two and decide 220 00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:58,640 Speaker 1: what do you have because you don't want to squelch 221 00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:03,240 Speaker 1: the development a young offensive lineman. And I feel over 222 00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:06,600 Speaker 1: the years, there's one poster boy, if you will, for 223 00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:09,360 Speaker 1: how development gets squelched when you keep moving him from 224 00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:13,280 Speaker 1: position to position to position. That's Xavier Suphilo. Now Xavier's 225 00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:15,559 Speaker 1: still in the league and he's playing well. But part 226 00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:17,439 Speaker 1: of the reason he's playing well and has played well 227 00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:19,520 Speaker 1: is because they stuck him at guard and left him 228 00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:21,880 Speaker 1: but he was moving from guard to tackle to tackle 229 00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:25,079 Speaker 1: to guard, a guard attack that eventually stunts the development 230 00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:27,760 Speaker 1: of a player, and I don't want that to happen 231 00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:29,960 Speaker 1: to Titus. I want him to find the right position 232 00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:32,320 Speaker 1: for him to be a Texan and then what are 233 00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:35,120 Speaker 1: the dominoes that then have to fall after that decision 234 00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:38,600 Speaker 1: is made? Okay, Drew, what do you have for player 235 00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:41,280 Speaker 1: returning that's not a rookie that you're excited to see 236 00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:44,960 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty two. I'll give you one because DP 237 00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:48,120 Speaker 1: and John took my two, and as a corollary to John's, 238 00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:52,760 Speaker 1: let's ponder this for what we might see from Titus Howard. 239 00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:57,760 Speaker 1: In all likelihood, we're seeing a new offensive system of sorts. 240 00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:00,599 Speaker 1: How much does that accelerate his and the rest of 241 00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:02,600 Speaker 1: the lines growth? Because I think you can argue over 242 00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:06,439 Speaker 1: the last six seven years we've not seen the best 243 00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:09,240 Speaker 1: play from the offensive line, and I think it's largely 244 00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:11,920 Speaker 1: in part to the system that's here. So keep that 245 00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:14,720 Speaker 1: in mind, but give me some bang on special teams. 246 00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:18,680 Speaker 1: My guys, Tremont Smith, what does he do with a 247 00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:22,319 Speaker 1: full season as the lead dog on kickoff returnst's what's 248 00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:25,040 Speaker 1: he do there? So I'll go with him because hey, 249 00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:28,079 Speaker 1: that that kickoff return for a touchdown turned the game 250 00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:31,280 Speaker 1: around when he did that, and so much fun to see. 251 00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:34,199 Speaker 1: Frank ross Is. I think he's cooking up something special 252 00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:36,640 Speaker 1: with the special teams unit, and he saw some really 253 00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:39,720 Speaker 1: good stuff in punt coverage with Cam Johnston, what he 254 00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:42,040 Speaker 1: was doing and the guys around him, the gunners that 255 00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:45,520 Speaker 1: you know, the money aside, that's the reason he signed 256 00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:48,280 Speaker 1: with Houston was the enthusiasm about who was going to 257 00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:51,000 Speaker 1: be down there covering punts. So Tremont Smith was one 258 00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:53,720 Speaker 1: of those guys that did that, made open field tackles 259 00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:56,559 Speaker 1: as a kickoff return coverage guy. So I want to 260 00:12:56,559 --> 00:12:58,280 Speaker 1: see a little bit more from him and you know 261 00:12:58,320 --> 00:12:59,880 Speaker 1: a little bit more of what we saw this year. 262 00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:02,560 Speaker 1: Well they're on offense too, can we see him get 263 00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:06,000 Speaker 1: a few more caring cool with that weapon? I like that. 264 00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:08,160 Speaker 1: I like that. Just throw that in every once in 265 00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:10,800 Speaker 1: a while because you force the opponent to at least 266 00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:13,840 Speaker 1: think about preparing for it, and that might throw a 267 00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:16,240 Speaker 1: wrench into their week. That they didn't want him. I mean, 268 00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:18,000 Speaker 1: if teams aren't gonna kick in the ball, if teams 269 00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:20,440 Speaker 1: are gonna kick in the ball, put him back there. Yeah, 270 00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:22,439 Speaker 1: I mean the Chargers, the Chargers just weren't going to 271 00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:24,400 Speaker 1: kick in the ball. I mean, after you'd run one back, 272 00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:25,800 Speaker 1: they weren't going to kick in the ball. So yeah, 273 00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:27,680 Speaker 1: but teach him toss sweep. That's what you know. The 274 00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:29,760 Speaker 1: forty Niners did that with Debo. Taught him toss. Sweet. 275 00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:32,480 Speaker 1: Then it was okay, well here's another play. Well, here's 276 00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:34,480 Speaker 1: another play. Before you know it, hebos run for about 277 00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:37,079 Speaker 1: four and sixty five yards in addition to the receiving yards. 278 00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:39,000 Speaker 1: So teams aren't gonna kick in the ball, and he's 279 00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:41,240 Speaker 1: that valuable. Put him back there. Let me see what 280 00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:43,439 Speaker 1: he can do. I love these guys around the leagues 281 00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:46,079 Speaker 1: that are around the league that are weapons like Patterson 282 00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:49,640 Speaker 1: and players like Dad, Laviska, Chanald and Debot, and you 283 00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:51,920 Speaker 1: can do different things with them and go ahead, have 284 00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:55,080 Speaker 1: at it all right, My guy would be look, you 285 00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:57,400 Speaker 1: mentioned Gernard, Let's go back to that class of twenty 286 00:13:57,440 --> 00:14:00,400 Speaker 1: twenty and go to Ross Blacklock, because I think that 287 00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:02,720 Speaker 1: this was his rookie year. You know, twenty twenty was 288 00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:05,000 Speaker 1: just a throwaway year for so many guys. It was 289 00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:08,000 Speaker 1: a terrible season. It was COVID, it was everything. At 290 00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:09,800 Speaker 1: least you went through it. You got through it. You 291 00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:12,400 Speaker 1: had a normal quote offseason, but a new coaching staff 292 00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:14,800 Speaker 1: coming in and a new system on defense. Now you 293 00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:16,960 Speaker 1: might have another new system on defense. We'll see how 294 00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:18,880 Speaker 1: it goes with the new regime coming in. But I 295 00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:20,760 Speaker 1: want to see Ross in year three, which is kind 296 00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:23,840 Speaker 1: of like a year two, and I believe that you'll 297 00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:26,240 Speaker 1: get some dividends paid, and I know that they're gonna 298 00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:28,160 Speaker 1: at least give them a shot. Here. There's so many 299 00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:30,520 Speaker 1: other guys that had one year deals. You wonder if 300 00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:32,600 Speaker 1: they're coming back, Guys that you want to see come back. 301 00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:35,040 Speaker 1: You're not sure because they have to agree, you have 302 00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:37,200 Speaker 1: to agree. All of it has to happen. So I'll 303 00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:40,000 Speaker 1: pick Ross right now. All right, next category, here's we're 304 00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:43,320 Speaker 1: going over things that we are looking forward to in 305 00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:47,120 Speaker 1: twenty twenty two. Home games. All right, everybody gets to 306 00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:49,640 Speaker 1: pick one one home game. We don't know when the 307 00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:52,800 Speaker 1: games are, but we know the opponents. And I'm going 308 00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:54,720 Speaker 1: to change the order here and we're gonna go with 309 00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:57,880 Speaker 1: Drew first here on home games, you're looking forward to. 310 00:14:57,920 --> 00:15:04,600 Speaker 1: Go ahead, Drew, this is a tough one, is it? 311 00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:08,920 Speaker 1: This draft? Then I want to see, like this is 312 00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:10,680 Speaker 1: kind of what we were you were alluding to this 313 00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:12,920 Speaker 1: at the outset. You know, we had some categories that 314 00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:14,960 Speaker 1: were originally we were going to debate, and I was 315 00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:17,840 Speaker 1: I was kind of sour pus. That was like, I 316 00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:19,600 Speaker 1: don't want to see who's gonna come in, you know, 317 00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:22,240 Speaker 1: but I guess home games and I'm looking forward to 318 00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:27,800 Speaker 1: how about the Chiefs, you know, since they they've been 319 00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:29,520 Speaker 1: so I don't know. I don't want to do the Chiefs. 320 00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:31,560 Speaker 1: Screw the Chiefs. I don't want to see the Chiefs here. 321 00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:35,000 Speaker 1: Um No, I don't. I really don't like seeing them 322 00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:39,320 Speaker 1: because they're Ye, I'll go with the Titans. I like. 323 00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:41,240 Speaker 1: I like it when the Titans come to town because 324 00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:44,280 Speaker 1: they are beatable, and I think we can. I think 325 00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:46,920 Speaker 1: the Texans can beat these guys. Didn't work out the 326 00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:49,560 Speaker 1: way we liked the last two years. You know, two 327 00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:52,040 Speaker 1: years ago didn't count because we were we yanked our starters. 328 00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:54,160 Speaker 1: We had just clinched the division. But I like, I 329 00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:55,640 Speaker 1: like it when the Titans come to town. I'm going 330 00:15:57,120 --> 00:16:01,960 Speaker 1: this year. Yeah, that was nice. Oh you know what 331 00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:04,720 Speaker 1: I had. There's a there's several home games that I'm 332 00:16:04,760 --> 00:16:10,640 Speaker 1: excited about. So I'm gonna say the Colts. I just 333 00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:14,920 Speaker 1: the way their season ended. Everyone is so high on 334 00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:17,760 Speaker 1: the Colts. I know Mark is just so excited watching 335 00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:20,600 Speaker 1: Hard Knocks. I may watch it again because that was 336 00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:24,760 Speaker 1: I have family in Indianapolis and they were just devastated, 337 00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:27,840 Speaker 1: which was funny to me. I don't know why I 338 00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:30,800 Speaker 1: grew up in Indianapolis, but it's funny now because you 339 00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:32,520 Speaker 1: know that everybody was so high on the Colts. No 340 00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:34,120 Speaker 1: one wanted to play them in the playoffs, and then 341 00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:38,280 Speaker 1: they lost the lowly Jaguars in the final game of 342 00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:40,200 Speaker 1: the season. I mean, I felt like they thought they 343 00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:41,960 Speaker 1: had a clear path. So I want to see them back. 344 00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:44,360 Speaker 1: I don't know what's going to happen with their quarterback situation. 345 00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:47,120 Speaker 1: I'd be shocked if it was Carson Wentz. It seemed 346 00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:50,600 Speaker 1: like Chris Ballard wasn't too. He was kind of noncommittal 347 00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:53,320 Speaker 1: when asked about Carson Wentz being your starter for next year. 348 00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:56,600 Speaker 1: So I'm very intrigued by who their starting quarterback is. 349 00:16:57,000 --> 00:16:59,280 Speaker 1: And I feel like they're very beautiful. They always seem 350 00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:01,360 Speaker 1: like the Colts is tough team that was hard to 351 00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:03,800 Speaker 1: beat in recent years, I feel like it's beatable and 352 00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:05,880 Speaker 1: I feel like they're kind of down right now. I'm 353 00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:08,399 Speaker 1: looking forward to seeing them at an Energy stadium and 354 00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:10,840 Speaker 1: it'll be it'll be new quarterback too. I'll tell you what. 355 00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:13,440 Speaker 1: You know, those satisfying videos, and I mentioned this in 356 00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:16,280 Speaker 1: a podcast with Johnny that you see on Twitter, satisfying 357 00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:19,920 Speaker 1: videos so satisfying. To see the Patriots get blown out 358 00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:23,159 Speaker 1: and the Cowboys lose, and to watch the Hard Knocks 359 00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:26,879 Speaker 1: episode of the Colts losing was just so good. Really, 360 00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:29,560 Speaker 1: I mean, considering everything you know, we've been through this 361 00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:33,520 Speaker 1: year with four and thirteen and everything just difficult, but 362 00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:37,280 Speaker 1: seeing those things happen really made me smile and I 363 00:17:37,359 --> 00:17:38,960 Speaker 1: needed a little pick me up, so that was good. 364 00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:40,840 Speaker 1: I really appreciate that from the Colts and from the 365 00:17:40,840 --> 00:17:45,040 Speaker 1: folks at Hard Knocks who captured the misery very well. Johnny, 366 00:17:45,040 --> 00:17:46,639 Speaker 1: what do you have as a home game you're excited 367 00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:52,160 Speaker 1: about in twenty twenty two Philadelphia Eagles. I like games 368 00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:54,560 Speaker 1: in which you don't see teams and you're building all that. 369 00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:58,600 Speaker 1: Often I eat NFC teams. That's reason one. Reason two. 370 00:17:58,680 --> 00:18:01,440 Speaker 1: Their quarterback is from hand of you. You You just outside 371 00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:06,920 Speaker 1: of Houston, So Houston represent with Jo Hurts Philadelphia Eagles, 372 00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:10,679 Speaker 1: that's mine. I'll go with the Washington What are they 373 00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:14,080 Speaker 1: going to be called? Team? Hasn't it leaked out yet? 374 00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:18,760 Speaker 1: Isn't it like Commodorees or the something Commanders, the Admirals, 375 00:18:19,119 --> 00:18:22,800 Speaker 1: Space Cowboys? Admirals is nautical? How can you do that? Really? 376 00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:24,560 Speaker 1: I think it would mean to say, are in there 377 00:18:24,600 --> 00:18:28,359 Speaker 1: a good chance they just stay in the WFT. W 378 00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:31,679 Speaker 1: F is too much like WTF. I don't know if 379 00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:33,960 Speaker 1: that's gonna work for them long time. That's for sure 380 00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:36,920 Speaker 1: not going to be that, not the WFT. No, it's 381 00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:40,080 Speaker 1: not that. It's not that I U. The Red Hogs 382 00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:42,520 Speaker 1: was out there. I was like, okay, but I guess 383 00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:45,959 Speaker 1: it feel good for like a week and then you'd say, well, 384 00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:47,800 Speaker 1: wait a minute with the Red Hogs, this is not 385 00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:50,679 Speaker 1: very good. Um, But it'll be interesting to see them 386 00:18:50,760 --> 00:18:52,760 Speaker 1: come in with their new name. Now. The last time 387 00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:56,080 Speaker 1: Washington was here with twenty fourteen, Bill O'Brien's debut and 388 00:18:56,240 --> 00:18:59,920 Speaker 1: the Texans won that game. Jake Bruten was coaching Washington 389 00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:04,200 Speaker 1: in he's been interviewing for offensive coordinator jobs. Alfred Blue 390 00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:07,600 Speaker 1: block to punt, turned it firstour That was awesome clowning. 391 00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:10,000 Speaker 1: He got knocked off the air due to a lightning storm. 392 00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:13,359 Speaker 1: Oh and I lost my mind in the booth. I 393 00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:16,640 Speaker 1: mean that was not good. Not a good day, all right. So, Drew, 394 00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:19,159 Speaker 1: are you gonna poo poo road games? Then? If I asked, like, 395 00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:21,680 Speaker 1: what you're looking forward to, are you gonna like step 396 00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:24,480 Speaker 1: all over that one? I like the road trips. I 397 00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:27,600 Speaker 1: like the road trips that I choose. Chicago, I just 398 00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:30,760 Speaker 1: jump right in. I love going to Chicago. Don't give 399 00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:33,680 Speaker 1: a rip about the game that's going on. I just 400 00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:36,440 Speaker 1: think it's a fun city to visit. One of my 401 00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:39,640 Speaker 1: best friends lives there. There's always something going on in Chicago, 402 00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:42,480 Speaker 1: up there with New York, where the Texans are also going. 403 00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:45,200 Speaker 1: So I'm going with Chicago though, that's mine. I love 404 00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:46,760 Speaker 1: going there. I've only been there once, and the only 405 00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:50,160 Speaker 1: time I went seven and one Texans against the seven 406 00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:54,800 Speaker 1: and one Bears Sunday Night Football two twelve Houston one. 407 00:19:55,200 --> 00:19:57,560 Speaker 1: One of the big wins that year. Very nice win, 408 00:19:57,720 --> 00:20:00,480 Speaker 1: very nice trip. Indeed, Sunday Night football. Ja, what do 409 00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:05,440 Speaker 1: you have? Oh, come on, man, this one's easy. Johnny's 410 00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:12,080 Speaker 1: gonna take my answer. You gotta leave it for deep Johnny. Okay, 411 00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:15,760 Speaker 1: take it. No, Deepe, go ahead, I'll follow you. Go ahead, 412 00:20:16,119 --> 00:20:21,399 Speaker 1: go ahead. I just am so excited to see this 413 00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:24,520 Speaker 1: new stadium in Las Vegas, everybody, that's really what I'm 414 00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:30,080 Speaker 1: there to see. I love new construction, the atmosphere. Now, 415 00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:32,199 Speaker 1: I'm just kidding. I can't wait to I think an 416 00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:36,359 Speaker 1: NFL football game in Vegas would be exciting, even if 417 00:20:36,520 --> 00:20:38,639 Speaker 1: for the road team. I think that there will be 418 00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:43,440 Speaker 1: so many traveling Texans. I've already heard people that I 419 00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:47,160 Speaker 1: know that don't normally travel Texans games talking about going 420 00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:52,160 Speaker 1: to this game in Las Vegas. I hope that there's 421 00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:54,880 Speaker 1: a bye week after it so that we can hang 422 00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:57,280 Speaker 1: out there for a little bit longer. But I mean 423 00:20:57,359 --> 00:20:59,200 Speaker 1: that might just be asking for too much. But I 424 00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:02,600 Speaker 1: hope that we're on this road trip. I hope COVID's 425 00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:06,120 Speaker 1: gone so we can travel and see the atmosphere first. 426 00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:09,320 Speaker 1: Yet I can't I can't imagine them moving this one 427 00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:12,399 Speaker 1: to Mexico City, and Drew's talking about I think it 428 00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:14,119 Speaker 1: would be in I think it would be. In an 429 00:21:14,119 --> 00:21:16,840 Speaker 1: AFC year, we have nine home games, you know they'd 430 00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:19,120 Speaker 1: make right one of this. That's what I think would happen. 431 00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:23,280 Speaker 1: AFC has eight home games, and the Raiders are in 432 00:21:23,359 --> 00:21:28,040 Speaker 1: a brand new, highly revenue generating stadium, so they're not 433 00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:31,280 Speaker 1: going to make them miss a home game like they 434 00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:33,040 Speaker 1: did in twenty sixteen when they were playing in the 435 00:21:33,119 --> 00:21:35,960 Speaker 1: black Hole, which was a black hole in more ways 436 00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:37,560 Speaker 1: than one. I mean, the place was just a money 437 00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:40,479 Speaker 1: pit and they wanted to get out of there anyway, 438 00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:42,320 Speaker 1: so they were more than happy to go to Mexico 439 00:21:42,359 --> 00:21:43,480 Speaker 1: City at the time, and they have a ton of 440 00:21:43,520 --> 00:21:45,920 Speaker 1: fans down there, but so do the Texans, and the 441 00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:48,560 Speaker 1: Texans have it as one of their market area teams 442 00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:51,360 Speaker 1: that's out of US soil, so that's pretty cool. Especially 443 00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:54,040 Speaker 1: and maybe it's next year, like twenty twenty three that 444 00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:55,959 Speaker 1: the Texans go to Mexico City. I don't think it's 445 00:21:55,960 --> 00:21:58,320 Speaker 1: going to happen this year, or they'll play an NFC 446 00:21:58,440 --> 00:22:01,600 Speaker 1: opponent there, so we'll see what happen. Happens anyway, Deep 447 00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:05,320 Speaker 1: picked Vegas, Johnny, what do you have? Okay, both Drew 448 00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:08,280 Speaker 1: and Deep took very good ones. Two of my favorite places. Yes, 449 00:22:08,359 --> 00:22:10,240 Speaker 1: I was gonna say Vegas, and then it hit me, 450 00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:14,680 Speaker 1: Wait a second, the NFC East road trips this year 451 00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:19,040 Speaker 1: should be one and two, and I'm leaving one and 452 00:22:19,119 --> 00:22:22,680 Speaker 1: I'm leaving this one from Mark. But I like going 453 00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:25,280 Speaker 1: to MetLife. I know it's in Jersey. I like MetLife. 454 00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:27,440 Speaker 1: But I like the fact that both times that we 455 00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:32,040 Speaker 1: have been to play the Giants and the Jets, we 456 00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:34,760 Speaker 1: got a chance to go into the city, see New 457 00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:38,040 Speaker 1: York City, and then play the game the following day. 458 00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:42,440 Speaker 1: We got well, we lost in twenty fourteen to the Giants, 459 00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:45,320 Speaker 1: one in twenty eighteen against the Jets. But going back there, 460 00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:51,880 Speaker 1: it's an opportunity to finally beat the Giants, I think, yeah, 461 00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:55,159 Speaker 1: never beating the Giants, that right, historian Vandamir, No, we 462 00:22:55,280 --> 00:22:58,720 Speaker 1: beating the Giants, Okay, well this will be an opportunity there. Yeah, 463 00:22:58,840 --> 00:23:02,480 Speaker 1: to beat the Giants in New York City. Never know 464 00:23:02,720 --> 00:23:05,520 Speaker 1: who we might be facing because their GM and head 465 00:23:05,560 --> 00:23:09,680 Speaker 1: coach is still in flux at a minimum, and I 466 00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:12,640 Speaker 1: don't think Daniel Jones would be the quarterback, so we'll see. 467 00:23:13,320 --> 00:23:15,760 Speaker 1: But going in to face the Giants on the road, 468 00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:19,160 Speaker 1: I love it. The historian that I am I wish 469 00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:21,560 Speaker 1: we could play that game in Yankee Stadium, even if 470 00:23:21,560 --> 00:23:24,600 Speaker 1: it's a new Yankee Stadium. But that said, I like MetLife. 471 00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:28,480 Speaker 1: It's a great, great venue. I think that place gets 472 00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:30,560 Speaker 1: loud even when it's not one hundred percent field. But 473 00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:32,359 Speaker 1: when we played him in fourteen, and I think it 474 00:23:32,359 --> 00:23:34,800 Speaker 1: was a great Giants team in that place was jam packed. 475 00:23:34,880 --> 00:23:37,600 Speaker 1: I love going to place the Giants. Leaving the final 476 00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:39,960 Speaker 1: one for you mark the very easy one. Well, it's 477 00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:42,600 Speaker 1: obviously Big D where last time you were there, it 478 00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:44,440 Speaker 1: was a sea of red, a sea of battle red. 479 00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:47,160 Speaker 1: And look, I watched the Niners in Cowboys game, as 480 00:23:47,280 --> 00:23:50,760 Speaker 1: did forty two million other people this weekend, and the 481 00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:53,440 Speaker 1: Niners fans represented well and they did that year. I 482 00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:55,479 Speaker 1: want to say they played them the year the Texans 483 00:23:55,560 --> 00:23:58,960 Speaker 1: played them as well in twenty fourteen in Big D 484 00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:01,440 Speaker 1: and they had a ton of fans then as well 485 00:24:01,480 --> 00:24:03,639 Speaker 1: as the Texans did. And it's just gonna be you 486 00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:06,879 Speaker 1: talk about Vegas for a traveling textan next year is 487 00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:09,960 Speaker 1: location wise as good as it gets. It's gonna be 488 00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:14,440 Speaker 1: phenomenal also, and I think that you know, the storylines 489 00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:18,399 Speaker 1: are interesting because I can't name all the quarterbacks Derek 490 00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:20,760 Speaker 1: Carr will be back in Vegas, right, should be? I mean, 491 00:24:20,840 --> 00:24:22,399 Speaker 1: come on, who are you gonna get to replace him? 492 00:24:22,680 --> 00:24:25,760 Speaker 1: But Chicago will be fields probably it's got to be 493 00:24:25,880 --> 00:24:28,200 Speaker 1: by then, right, Otherwise what'd you do that for? Although 494 00:24:28,240 --> 00:24:30,840 Speaker 1: the regime is gone, the Giants are, they're gonna stick 495 00:24:30,840 --> 00:24:33,960 Speaker 1: with Daniel Jones. Is Miami really sticking with two it? 496 00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:37,080 Speaker 1: You don't know that right now. So there's some mystery there, 497 00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:39,720 Speaker 1: and is Dallas sticking with dak? Of course they are 498 00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:42,879 Speaker 1: all right? So final thoughts here, anybody of a parting 499 00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:46,000 Speaker 1: shot on the way out about anything in particular related 500 00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:50,240 Speaker 1: to twenty twenty two? Who wants to go first? Jump ball? 501 00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:53,520 Speaker 1: Jump ball? I mean, I think it's interesting how many 502 00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:56,600 Speaker 1: first year head coaches will be facing again next year. 503 00:24:56,640 --> 00:24:59,080 Speaker 1: I mean this year and next year. I mean, you 504 00:24:59,119 --> 00:25:05,600 Speaker 1: look at the schedule. Jacksonville, Miami fans. You've got Miami, 505 00:25:06,720 --> 00:25:13,600 Speaker 1: Chicago Raiders is Vegas Vegas. You know Iffy because Bisaci 506 00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:17,280 Speaker 1: is interviewing, but he's not a lock at you know, 507 00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:20,159 Speaker 1: press time, as they would say in writer land, right 508 00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:23,760 Speaker 1: Drew at press time a record time. There you go, 509 00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:26,680 Speaker 1: You guys, have anything else to say about twenty twenty 510 00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:30,240 Speaker 1: two improvement, looking forward to improvement, Texans will be better 511 00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:34,600 Speaker 1: next year. John's by how much well I spent three 512 00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:37,240 Speaker 1: games in the driving rain all years. The fact that 513 00:25:37,280 --> 00:25:41,879 Speaker 1: we play Vegas inside, Indie inside. Is very pleased to 514 00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:44,800 Speaker 1: meet Dallas inside. I'll take as many games inside. And 515 00:25:44,840 --> 00:25:48,080 Speaker 1: I actually was cheering really hard for the Bears to 516 00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:50,880 Speaker 1: win the final game Week eighteen against the Vikings because 517 00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:54,080 Speaker 1: that would have meant Minnesota instead of Chicago, and Minnesota's 518 00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:56,400 Speaker 1: inside and we could have seen that skull chain, which 519 00:25:56,520 --> 00:26:01,520 Speaker 1: is really really scary. That said, I'll take three games inside, 520 00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:04,560 Speaker 1: three out of nine on the road, I'll take it. 521 00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:06,800 Speaker 1: And the other thing we didn't talk about obviously preseason 522 00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:09,800 Speaker 1: in training camp, whether they'll be joint practices or an 523 00:26:09,840 --> 00:26:13,320 Speaker 1: opportunity for joint practices, which are always fun in some 524 00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:15,600 Speaker 1: respects to go and there're been some fans that have 525 00:26:15,680 --> 00:26:17,080 Speaker 1: made the trip to try and do some of that, 526 00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:19,080 Speaker 1: so hopefully that'll be in the docket for twenty twenty 527 00:26:19,080 --> 00:26:21,240 Speaker 1: two as well. I'll sign up for another trip to 528 00:26:21,359 --> 00:26:24,000 Speaker 1: Green Bay right now, please, and another week up there 529 00:26:24,200 --> 00:26:26,360 Speaker 1: a lake they had in twenty nineteen, that'd be cool. 530 00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:29,000 Speaker 1: But in twenty twenty not game related, but I'm looking 531 00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:31,680 Speaker 1: forward to a draft party. That'll be really nice. Get 532 00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:33,439 Speaker 1: enough of COVID out of the way so you can 533 00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:35,440 Speaker 1: have a draft party. Because you have the number three 534 00:26:35,520 --> 00:26:38,200 Speaker 1: pick in the draft at present time, you never know 535 00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:40,639 Speaker 1: what they do.
