1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:03,200
Speaker 1: What's happening everybody? Happy Monday to all of you out there.

2
00:00:03,200 --> 00:00:07,119
Speaker 2: Welcome into Texans All Access from Monday Texans Radio Studio,

3
00:00:07,400 --> 00:00:10,799
Speaker 2: John Harris Football and Outside of the Reporter, alongside the

4
00:00:10,920 --> 00:00:15,040
Speaker 2: voice of the Texans who is gassed up about flag

5
00:00:15,160 --> 00:00:18,800
Speaker 2: football after this weekend, Mark Vandermin, Mark, how do you feel, Johnny?

6
00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:21,239
Speaker 3: I'm doing great and watching a lot of basketball, like

7
00:00:21,239 --> 00:00:23,960
Speaker 3: everybody is, in fact, trying to recall some of these

8
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:24,960
Speaker 3: games over the weekend.

9
00:00:25,040 --> 00:00:28,040
Speaker 1: It's all a blur, right, Wait, coach? Game was that.

10
00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:30,480
Speaker 3: Where the guy took the past and he did? It's

11
00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:33,000
Speaker 3: so hard to remember did the thing? Who are they

12
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:36,040
Speaker 3: playing again? Because they knocked somebody off? I know Iowa

13
00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:39,120
Speaker 3: State's really good. Longhorns are in the sweet sixteen. Of course,

14
00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:41,239
Speaker 3: the Coup's playing at home, which is freaking awesome. It

15
00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:44,080
Speaker 3: is awesome, So there's a lot to digest from that.

16
00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:46,200
Speaker 3: But I know this is not an NCAA tournament show.

17
00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:48,480
Speaker 3: Maybe we should just do a podcast once a year

18
00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:51,680
Speaker 3: on basketball because it's so much fun to dissect the

19
00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:54,560
Speaker 3: crunch time moments of these games, like Saint John's yesterday

20
00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:58,720
Speaker 3: and what happened with Iowa and Florida. My goodness, they

21
00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:02,280
Speaker 3: ran a football play to them. That's beautiful. There's so

22
00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:04,280
Speaker 3: many fun things to watch, so I enjoyed it. But

23
00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:06,800
Speaker 3: you mentioned the flag football that was Saturday at three

24
00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:10,960
Speaker 3: Central Tom Brady his showcase. They were going to do

25
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:13,360
Speaker 3: this in Saudi Arabia. I guess yeah, yeah, right, they

26
00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:16,760
Speaker 3: did it in LA and you had Team USA facing

27
00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:22,000
Speaker 3: two semi NFL, semi current, semi former player laden teams,

28
00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:24,880
Speaker 3: right yeah, and Team USA took it to them.

29
00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:27,440
Speaker 1: I'm being shit. We thought that it would happen up

30
00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:30,199
Speaker 1: and down the field. Who told you was gonna happen?

31
00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:34,399
Speaker 3: We did, and to the point where they had I

32
00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:37,400
Speaker 3: believe it was fifteen drives on the day and scored

33
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:39,920
Speaker 3: on all but one of them because they took a

34
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:44,039
Speaker 3: knee or something. So, oh my gosh, is that good.

35
00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:47,640
Speaker 3: They can do whatever they want against anybody they want. Now, look,

36
00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:50,240
Speaker 3: if you took NFL players and had them practice and

37
00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:54,200
Speaker 3: refine their skills in this particular kind of sport, it

38
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:56,320
Speaker 3: would be different because these are world class athletes you're

39
00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:58,200
Speaker 3: talking about with the NFL players, the players they had

40
00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:01,000
Speaker 3: on the field, not the krem delink for the most part.

41
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:03,320
Speaker 3: You know, Jade and Daniels probably would be a pretty

42
00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:06,200
Speaker 3: good flag football player, but they had guys like Kyle

43
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:09,359
Speaker 3: Yuschek out there. If I'm casting a flag football team

44
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:12,120
Speaker 3: with NFL players, He's not even on the top three

45
00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:16,040
Speaker 3: pages of names that I want. So you know, von Miller,

46
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:18,200
Speaker 3: Come on, these guys can't play flag football. I don't

47
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:20,320
Speaker 3: want Logan Paul on my team either. By the way,

48
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:23,040
Speaker 3: I want to knock somebody out I'm not gonna have

49
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:24,240
Speaker 3: Or is that Jake, I don't know.

50
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:27,960
Speaker 2: I don't want any of the Palls anywhere near my sport.

51
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:33,640
Speaker 2: And look, they've turned themselves into good marketers and somewhat

52
00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:35,880
Speaker 2: showmen and all that kind of stuff, But no, stay

53
00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:40,400
Speaker 2: away from my field. I said this, and this this

54
00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:43,799
Speaker 2: goes back a long way with me. Nineteen ninety nine,

55
00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:46,760
Speaker 2: we took a group of I was living Jacksonville at

56
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:48,760
Speaker 2: the time. We took a group of Jacksonville all star

57
00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:51,160
Speaker 2: high school basketball players over to Spain to play an

58
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:54,880
Speaker 2: international tournament teams from Greece, Turkey, Spain.

59
00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:57,640
Speaker 1: But we were playing international.

60
00:02:57,160 --> 00:03:03,959
Speaker 2: Rules different and trapizoil lane, trapezoid lane, euro steps all day.

61
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:06,400
Speaker 2: Our guys couldn't figure it out. Yeah, because they wanted

62
00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:08,959
Speaker 2: to close. They wanted to go up to block a shot,

63
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:11,160
Speaker 2: and then all of a sudden the guy would slide

64
00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:13,520
Speaker 2: under and lay one in, and we, I mean Mark,

65
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:17,960
Speaker 2: we couldn't figure it out. And finally in the game,

66
00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:20,480
Speaker 2: we were playing the Greek team and they got out

67
00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:21,000
Speaker 2: big on us.

68
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:22,239
Speaker 1: Well, we decided to press.

69
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:23,960
Speaker 2: Them because we were more athletic and bigger and longer,

70
00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:24,920
Speaker 2: all that kind of stuff.

71
00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:25,800
Speaker 1: And we got back in the game.

72
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:27,799
Speaker 2: We got back in a game, but because of the

73
00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:29,919
Speaker 2: rules and point differni and all that, we had to

74
00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:32,120
Speaker 2: win the game by six. So even though we were

75
00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:35,320
Speaker 2: up three, we kept pressing when they got a couple

76
00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:37,440
Speaker 2: of easy baskets end up beating us. But either way,

77
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:40,560
Speaker 2: I remember coming back from that thinking, this is it's

78
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:41,280
Speaker 2: a different game.

79
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:43,080
Speaker 1: Yep, it's a different game.

80
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:48,440
Speaker 2: High school basketball, college basketball, pro basketball fairly similar. International

81
00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:51,480
Speaker 2: basketball is so incredibly different. And I remember thinking about

82
00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:53,360
Speaker 2: that when we were talking about the flag football stuff,

83
00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:54,040
Speaker 2: like it's.

84
00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:55,640
Speaker 1: A different game, so different.

85
00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:58,960
Speaker 2: And just like with Dream Team back in nineteen ninety two,

86
00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:02,200
Speaker 2: these many years ago, go they had to play together,

87
00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:04,480
Speaker 2: they had to figure out the international rules, they had

88
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:07,400
Speaker 2: to be on a team for longer than just the

89
00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:09,280
Speaker 2: two weeks it took to lead up, which is what

90
00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:12,480
Speaker 2: they had been doing. And then when they started kind

91
00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:15,520
Speaker 2: of falling off the twenty and eight team, Mike Krzyzewski

92
00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:18,960
Speaker 2: had them commit for a couple of years so that

93
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:21,479
Speaker 2: they could play together, they could learn the international game.

94
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:24,000
Speaker 2: And now the international game in the pro game have started.

95
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:27,040
Speaker 3: To blur a little bit, sure, because the international players

96
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:29,240
Speaker 3: have gotten so much better. They were influenced heavily by

97
00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:31,840
Speaker 3: the Dream Team. They up their games everywhere around the

98
00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:34,880
Speaker 3: globe and it evens things out a little bit, right, Right.

99
00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:39,520
Speaker 2: You're playing a similar game. Flag football and NFL football

100
00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:40,240
Speaker 2: aren't even.

101
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:42,480
Speaker 3: Close to use a football that's a similarity, right, Like

102
00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:43,040
Speaker 3: you said, if.

103
00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:45,719
Speaker 2: You came up with the right group of guys, guys

104
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:48,520
Speaker 2: that change direction like JSN.

105
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:49,880
Speaker 1: We'll get to him in just a second.

106
00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:53,160
Speaker 2: You had guys that you know that were like Tyreek,

107
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:55,200
Speaker 2: you know, tank, a healthy tank, you know those kind

108
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:55,679
Speaker 2: of players.

109
00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:58,920
Speaker 1: Twitch, twitch, Kyler Murray's guy.

110
00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:02,920
Speaker 3: Kyler Murray would be my choice in the quarterback exactly

111
00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:06,120
Speaker 3: because he's got all the twitch in the world, world

112
00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:09,520
Speaker 3: class twitch can throw the ball and I know as

113
00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:11,719
Speaker 3: an NFL quarterback, you might think differently, but as a

114
00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:14,599
Speaker 3: flag football quarterback, he's my guy. But as you notice,

115
00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:16,280
Speaker 3: Team USA, if you watch the thing and it's up

116
00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:20,200
Speaker 3: on YouTube, you can watch these games. Hush, who's Daryl

117
00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:23,800
Speaker 3: dus said, is not even really the quarterback. He's a throwback.

118
00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:26,840
Speaker 3: He's a running back who throws. And the other guy,

119
00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:29,600
Speaker 3: I forget his name, Cicero's something. He can throw it,

120
00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:31,840
Speaker 3: but he can also run with it. So they do

121
00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:34,159
Speaker 3: so many different things to space the field, and you

122
00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:36,200
Speaker 3: just have to practice and play this wart and.

123
00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:37,560
Speaker 1: Be dedicated to it. Johnny.

124
00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:40,680
Speaker 3: If I'm an NFL owner, I don't want any part

125
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:43,600
Speaker 3: of this for my players. I really don't use former

126
00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:45,880
Speaker 3: players or guys on the fringe who are still going out,

127
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:47,880
Speaker 3: like after the Olympics they can try out again or

128
00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:50,760
Speaker 3: something like that. They're looking for a team, maybe something

129
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:53,359
Speaker 3: of that nature. But there are plenty of great athletes

130
00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:55,680
Speaker 3: in this country to play flag football, including the ones

131
00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:58,440
Speaker 3: on Team Team USA right now, and that's probably enough

132
00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:01,120
Speaker 3: to win you a gold. Just go with that and

133
00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:04,600
Speaker 3: enjoy the games and let NFL football be what it is.

134
00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:10,320
Speaker 2: Yes, absolutely one thousand percent agree. I will say we

135
00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:13,240
Speaker 2: were talking about NCAA tournament. We were in here Friday.

136
00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:15,599
Speaker 2: We were getting ready to record what you could see

137
00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:19,640
Speaker 2: on YouTube. It's basically a free agent prime, like an

138
00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:21,480
Speaker 2: offseason prime, what the Texans.

139
00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:21,960
Speaker 1: Have done thus far.

140
00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:24,680
Speaker 2: In nine minutes, we give you everything that's happened and

141
00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:27,120
Speaker 2: how it impacts this team going forward. It's fantastic. Go

142
00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:30,240
Speaker 2: check out on your YouTube, go to our Houston Texas page.

143
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:32,600
Speaker 2: You'll see Mark and I breaking down free agency like

144
00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:33,560
Speaker 2: none other.

145
00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:35,600
Speaker 1: We gave you all that. Well, we were about to.

146
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:39,240
Speaker 2: Start filming that on Friday and Santa Clair and Kentucky

147
00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:42,760
Speaker 2: had an all time or ending in regulation.

148
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:43,800
Speaker 1: You, me and Will.

149
00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:46,120
Speaker 2: Will was down here shooting, and we were all three

150
00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:47,440
Speaker 2: just running around watching this game.

151
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:48,080
Speaker 1: It was unbelieved.

152
00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:51,239
Speaker 2: There were some endings like that, but for the most part,

153
00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:56,560
Speaker 2: teams came to do work. Kog's dominant duke dominant. There

154
00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:58,640
Speaker 2: were teams that came to do work. But I thought

155
00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:02,440
Speaker 2: about you and and Dre in this sense we've been

156
00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:03,119
Speaker 2: doing games together.

157
00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:04,760
Speaker 1: Now this will be this will be my thirteenth year.

158
00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:08,080
Speaker 2: You guys are called everyone from the beginning, and I've

159
00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:11,240
Speaker 2: always wondered, I dream about, like, what's it gonna be

160
00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:14,280
Speaker 2: standing on that field hearing you and my you and

161
00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:16,720
Speaker 2: Dre in my ears, and we're going to the AFC

162
00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:19,720
Speaker 2: Championship game. I thought about that. Camp Pavelka has been

163
00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:25,440
Speaker 2: doing Nebraska games football and basketball for forty one years.

164
00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:28,080
Speaker 1: And they had never forty tournament game.

165
00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:31,400
Speaker 2: They've never won a tournament game, never won a tournament

166
00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:34,400
Speaker 2: game game. So in the first round, and I'm trying

167
00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:35,560
Speaker 2: to remember, I can't remember who, off the top of

168
00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:38,080
Speaker 2: my head who they beat, but they knocked down three

169
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:40,760
Speaker 2: after three, after three after three, and it was the

170
00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:43,520
Speaker 2: first it was the first game they had won.

171
00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:45,880
Speaker 1: And so bake up in the booth.

172
00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:49,080
Speaker 2: Aaron, our engineer, Aaron Raybold has a camera on you

173
00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:51,640
Speaker 2: and Dre and Robert sits in between you guys, and

174
00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:53,720
Speaker 2: so you can see some of the great moments that

175
00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:55,560
Speaker 2: happened and you calling them from the booth and what's

176
00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:57,200
Speaker 2: that like and the celebration in the booth and all

177
00:07:57,240 --> 00:07:57,880
Speaker 2: that kind of stuff.

178
00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:02,000
Speaker 1: So somebody was recording it. The end his reaction and

179
00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:02,760
Speaker 1: he wears.

180
00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:04,760
Speaker 2: His bow tie and he's got his he's got his

181
00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:09,280
Speaker 2: quarter zip and everything, and he is he's going through it,

182
00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:09,960
Speaker 2: you can tell.

183
00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:13,720
Speaker 1: And he's whole, like he's holding it together. But just

184
00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:15,720
Speaker 1: bear right.

185
00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:21,720
Speaker 2: So they play on Saturday, and on Saturday they played

186
00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:27,040
Speaker 2: Vanderbilt in one of the craziest endings you're gonna ever see.

187
00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:32,320
Speaker 2: Vanderbilt misses a shot, kind of a crazy Tyler Tanne

188
00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:35,319
Speaker 2: the point guard, throws it inside. Chandler Bing catches it. Yes,

189
00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:38,240
Speaker 2: Chandler Bing not named after their friend's character. Chandler Bing

190
00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:40,120
Speaker 2: catches it in the air. But he's got to get

191
00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:41,760
Speaker 2: it off because on like three seconds on shot like

192
00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:45,600
Speaker 2: so he catches on the run and shoots, misses. Nebraska

193
00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:48,120
Speaker 2: comes down, kid makes a left handed layup. It's seventy

194
00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:51,120
Speaker 2: four to seventy two. Van he's got one time out

195
00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:53,839
Speaker 2: to call it two point two. They throw the ball

196
00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:58,080
Speaker 2: at Tyler Tanner and he's beyond half court and launches

197
00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:01,760
Speaker 2: and goes. And this is what's always weird to be

198
00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:03,960
Speaker 2: because when a ball goes off the glass from that

199
00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:05,920
Speaker 2: far out, the ball goes off the glass, it hits

200
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:10,160
Speaker 2: the rim once and gone. This thing goes off glass,

201
00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:17,320
Speaker 2: it's halfway down and pops out, pops out, and Nebraska wins.

202
00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:22,439
Speaker 2: And so the game is over. Everybody's celebrating in every

203
00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:28,319
Speaker 2: Cornhusker player walks over and hugs and celebrates with.

Speaker 2: They were playing in Oklahoma City, they were playing I

228
00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:37,520
Speaker 2: think it was Oklahoma City.

229
00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:39,640
Speaker 1: Is that where it was? I think it was. And

230

Speaker 1: it was a home game, see of Red. It was

231
00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:46,600

237
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:01,760

238
00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:03,400
Speaker 3: that or they had never won that. I think they

239
00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:04,000

00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:08,080
Speaker 3: And there was tailgating like you wouldn't believe for a

242
00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:10,640

Speaker 1: was in trouble.

314
00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:30,640
Speaker 2: Okay, you mentioned a little bit earlier, and I didn't

315
00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:34,200
Speaker 2: want you to steal our thunder. It's sizzle fire Todd. Yeah,

316
00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:38,080
Speaker 2: it's time for the hot takes. Now, I come up

317
00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:40,600
Speaker 2: with the hot takes? Did you send me? Went over

318
00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:42,360
Speaker 2: the weekend from you? And I said it was like

319
00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:48,400
Speaker 2: ten sizzle fires. Wait, well I can't remember what you remember. Yeah,

320
00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:50,400
Speaker 2: I gotta make sure it's something that I can't say.

321
00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:52,720
Speaker 1: Or what it was. But I was like, are you crazy?

322
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:55,360
Speaker 2: That's oh no, we can't say this one on the air.

323
00:14:55,400 --> 00:14:57,280
Speaker 2: But the Texans do you have a number one wide receiver?

324
00:14:58,080 --> 00:15:01,920
Speaker 1: So hot take sizzlefires. So here's what we do.

325
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:06,680
Speaker 2: There are hot takes of plenty throughout sports, and we'll

326
00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:08,920
Speaker 2: try and keep this one to football for the most part. Okay,

327
00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:11,480
Speaker 2: but there are hot takes of plenty out there, some

328
00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:17,240
Speaker 2: by some people, some for others, some I will create myself, okay,

329
00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:21,920
Speaker 2: And you will again assess that hot take with number

330
00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:26,080
Speaker 2: of sizzle fires. One meaning that that's that's not really

331
00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:28,840
Speaker 2: a hot take. That's pretty much right on point. It's true.

332
00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:33,440
Speaker 2: Five sizzle fires means I have gone conspiracy theorists. It's

333
00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:38,040
Speaker 2: the dumbest thing ever. There's no chance it is not happening.

334
00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:39,840
Speaker 2: But I'm gonna start with an easy one. This one,

335
00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:43,400
Speaker 2: this one's mine, and it also allows us to kind

336
00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:45,480
Speaker 2: of combine some of the around the NFL news too.

337
00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:50,200
Speaker 2: Woke up this morning to the news that Jackson Smith

338
00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:55,040
Speaker 2: Injigbas signed the largest contract for a wide receiver in

339
00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:58,320
Speaker 2: the NFL. Here's my hot take, not even based on

340
00:15:58,360 --> 00:16:02,760
Speaker 2: the money. JSN was the best player that we saw

341
00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:03,760
Speaker 2: last year.

342
00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:05,240
Speaker 1: Player NFL play.

343
00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:10,440
Speaker 2: Jaysen was the best player that we faced last year. Now,

344
00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:12,680
Speaker 2: as you think about that, we did face the MVP,

345
00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:14,080
Speaker 2: Matt Stafford.

346
00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:15,040
Speaker 1: We saw him in Week one.

347
00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:18,800
Speaker 2: We did face Puka Nakua, we saw him, both of

348
00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:21,720
Speaker 2: them in Week one. We saw Jaysn. Week eight on

349
00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:26,280
Speaker 2: a Monday night, Bakers. Yeah, we saw Bakers. We saw

350
00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:29,280
Speaker 2: Josh Allen. We end up seeing Drake May.

351
00:16:29,560 --> 00:16:31,880
Speaker 3: I'll give it a one sizzle fire Johnny. Okay, I

352
00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:32,640
Speaker 3: think that's a good take.

353
00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:33,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, Okay.

354
00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:37,880
Speaker 3: Jysn gave us problems. We know how good this secondary is.

355
00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:40,600
Speaker 3: This defense. I think the Texans coming off the bye

356
00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:42,360
Speaker 3: playing the late night game didn't help.

357
00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:43,360
Speaker 1: But no excuses.

358
00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:46,760
Speaker 3: You know, there's sometimes instances where this team in the

359
00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:50,840
Speaker 3: last three years hasn't dealt well with a weird scheduling arrangement,

360
00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:52,480
Speaker 3: and that was one of them. You would think you'd

361
00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:53,920
Speaker 3: be fully arrested, ready to go.

362
00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:54,760
Speaker 1: And they were.

363
00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:57,800
Speaker 3: But I think they were almost rusty in that one

364
00:16:57,840 --> 00:16:58,640
Speaker 3: defensive league.

365
00:16:58,800 --> 00:16:59,880
Speaker 1: And the Seahawks are really good.

366
00:16:59,880 --> 00:17:02,680
Speaker 3: We know that they won the Super Bowl, so that combination,

367
00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:04,840
Speaker 3: you know, the NFL is a fine line. You're not

368
00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:08,040
Speaker 3: quite on top of your game, they are, and you

369
00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:10,679
Speaker 3: didn't handle it well, and voila. You came up with

370
00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:13,120
Speaker 3: JSN having a big game. And I don't think that's

371
00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:15,480
Speaker 3: a hot take at all. You handled Matthew Stafford really well.

372
00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:18,160
Speaker 3: Stafford might be the better player that you faced all year.

373
00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:18,760
Speaker 1: Slightly.

374
00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:21,879
Speaker 3: He's a quarterback, you know, apples and oranges quarterbacks to

375
00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:25,000
Speaker 3: wide receivers. But the Texans dealt with Stafford very well,

376
00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:28,000
Speaker 3: and they forced a turnover on that final Rams drive

377
00:17:28,760 --> 00:17:30,399
Speaker 3: to get the ball back and turn it over, and

378
00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:34,480
Speaker 3: then the Rams ran out the clock. So I think

379
00:17:34,520 --> 00:17:39,560
Speaker 3: that Jayassent take is good. Other losses the Texans had, gosh, Johnny,

380
00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:42,480
Speaker 3: they won ten in a row, including the playoff game.

381
00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:44,639
Speaker 3: You know what game I was going over, not to

382
00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:48,919
Speaker 3: get two tangenty tangent e, but the forty nine er

383
00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:51,520
Speaker 3: game because I was going over some air check stuff.

384
00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:53,240
Speaker 3: I'm trying to come up with something to play for

385
00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:56,400
Speaker 3: business ops and sales and everything here. And the opening

386
00:17:56,400 --> 00:17:59,600
Speaker 3: of that game, Texans are two and four, Niners are

387
00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:03,400
Speaker 3: five two, and the Niners have something going on. They're

388
00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:05,960
Speaker 3: banged up, but they've been playing well despite that. And

389
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:08,439
Speaker 3: the Texans are without Nico Collins and Christian Kirk. So

390
00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:10,040
Speaker 3: how are they going to get this done today? Coming

391
00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:13,560
Speaker 3: off the loss to Seattle on a short week, over

392
00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:16,199
Speaker 3: three hundred yards for CJ. Strad two touchdowns and they

393
00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:19,000
Speaker 3: ran for a buck fifty plus. That's how they dealt

394
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:21,159
Speaker 3: with it. The Houston Texans. I mean, we had some

395
00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:24,040
Speaker 3: games this year that people forget about that were really

396
00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:27,840
Speaker 3: good performances by the quarterback and the offense. And I

397
00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:30,120
Speaker 3: know they didn't finish enough drives whatever, they scored twenty

398
00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:30,639
Speaker 3: six points.

399
00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:32,120
Speaker 1: Guess what, it was enough, So.

400
00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:35,080
Speaker 3: You got to play like that next year and then

401
00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:38,360
Speaker 3: some Anyway, I think it's a good take. JSN best

402
00:18:38,359 --> 00:18:39,840
Speaker 3: player of the Texans faced all year.

403
00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:42,639
Speaker 1: Yes, bringing up that forty nine Ers game.

404
00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:46,720
Speaker 2: If somebody had been out of the country flew back

405
00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:48,800
Speaker 2: in some the Texans were twelve and five, won a

406
00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:53,040
Speaker 2: playoff game, et cetera, and they said, Hey, which game

407
00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:55,600
Speaker 2: should I go watch to see get the essence of

408
00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:56,639
Speaker 2: the twenty twenty five Texans.

409
00:18:56,640 --> 00:18:59,040
Speaker 1: I would tell them that forty nine Ers game. Really,

410
00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:00,720
Speaker 1: no need go No.

411
00:19:00,760 --> 00:19:04,000
Speaker 2: Christian Kirk, Jared Wayne's got to play, Braxton Barris has

412
00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:07,719
Speaker 2: got to play ce Jazz's best game Wood. He had

413
00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:10,760
Speaker 2: a solid game. The defense was phenomenal. Really gave McCaffrey

414
00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:12,840
Speaker 2: nothing other than George Kittle making one hell of a

415
00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:13,920
Speaker 2: catching the end zone.

416
00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:16,520
Speaker 1: Right before half. Yep, that was it. That was all

417
00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:16,960
Speaker 1: they got.

418
00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:19,119
Speaker 2: I would say I would take that and go this

419
00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:21,680
Speaker 2: is a divisional playoff team in the forty nine Ers, yep,

420
00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:24,320
Speaker 2: and they came to our house and they got They

421
00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:25,960
Speaker 2: got trounced. The score may not have said it, but

422
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:29,000
Speaker 2: they got absolutely trounced. I would put that game. This

423
00:19:29,080 --> 00:19:30,640
Speaker 2: is the one. This is the one that you want

424
00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:33,280
Speaker 2: to watch to see the complete Texas from twenty twenty four.

425
00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:36,320
Speaker 3: Well, I like Kansas City too, because, yeah, it shows

426
00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:40,680
Speaker 3: you the struggles third quarter offense, fourth straight three announces

427
00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:42,520
Speaker 3: that what it was. Yeah, but then the offense wakes

428
00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:44,800
Speaker 3: up in time to get the job done. In the

429
00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:47,720
Speaker 3: defense eats Holmes three picks for the first time in

430
00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:51,080
Speaker 3: three years. Phenomenal performance all the way around when you

431
00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:54,840
Speaker 3: consider road Kansas City's last stand to get something going

432
00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:57,040
Speaker 3: before they were going to slide out of control. So

433
00:19:57,280 --> 00:19:59,119
Speaker 3: I like that one too, But I know that's not

434
00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:03,120
Speaker 3: the topic anyway. Next sizzle fire evaluation, Well, I'm glad

435
00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:04,040
Speaker 3: you brought up the Chiefs.

436
00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:09,720
Speaker 2: Okay, The Kansas City Chiefs have signed Travis kelce to.

437
00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:15,440
Speaker 1: A three year, fifty four point seven million dollars deal.

438
00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:20,240
Speaker 2: Now I am not privy to the information to see

439
00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:24,040
Speaker 2: of that, what's guaranteed, et cetera. My hot take is

440
00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:28,600
Speaker 2: that's stupid. Give it the sizzle fires.

441
00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:32,960
Speaker 1: So your take, not the corr. My take is it stupid.

442
00:20:33,480 --> 00:20:34,760
Speaker 1: I would say that's.

443
00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:38,919
Speaker 3: Two point seventy five maybe two and a half, okay,

444
00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:43,680
Speaker 3: because it is Travis kelce And until further notice, let's

445
00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:46,760
Speaker 3: just say Travis Kelcey retires right now, Johnny, what would

446
00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:48,680
Speaker 3: you have to say about the Chiefs. Don't you feel

447
00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:51,960
Speaker 3: like you still need him around it, at least until

448
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:55,600
Speaker 3: you can for a year. Yes, I know, but maybe

449
00:20:55,640 --> 00:20:57,760
Speaker 3: it all works out with the guaranteed money and they're

450
00:20:57,760 --> 00:21:00,000
Speaker 3: able to kind of flush things away. And it's Travis

451
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:03,800
Speaker 3: Kelsey does the Lifetime Achievement Award contract, and you're rewarding

452
00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:05,520
Speaker 3: him for being.

453
00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:09,400
Speaker 1: The what is he the second greatest chief ever? Right?

454
00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:10,560
Speaker 4: Yeah?

455
00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:13,159
Speaker 3: Well, I mean right now as it stands at the moment,

456
00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:15,280
Speaker 3: who's the great Look, who's.

457
00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:18,440
Speaker 1: The greatest chief ever? Patrick Mahomes. Okay, it's Patrick Mahomes.

458
00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:24,600
Speaker 3: Until people retire, Let's let's just say active players are discluding.

459
00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:30,919
Speaker 1: I guess so Len Dawson, Len Dawson, Yeah, Len Dawson,

460
00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:34,600
Speaker 1: Len Dawson. Super Bowl, Gonzales, len Dawson won, Gonzales.

461
00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:37,280
Speaker 3: He's still the all time leader at tight end receptions,

462
00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:38,080
Speaker 3: right or is it witting?

463
00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:41,160
Speaker 1: He's right up there right. The Gonzales was amazing.

464
00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:45,200
Speaker 3: It's that I never really felt Gonzales because he never

465
00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:49,200
Speaker 3: did it in a postseason, right, you know, masterpiece performance.

466
00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:53,359
Speaker 2: It always felt like Sharif abdu Raheem rip Sharif abdu

467
00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:56,040
Speaker 2: Raheem was putting up twenty but nobody cares because it

468
00:21:56,080 --> 00:21:58,800
Speaker 2: was for the Vancouver Grizzlies, right, Atlanta Hawks when they

469
00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:01,680
Speaker 2: weren't going well. It was like he go get you buckets.

470
00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:04,399
Speaker 2: It's like Bradley Beal, Bradley Beale, go get you buckets.

471
00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:06,639
Speaker 2: You know, but it was for teams that just weren't

472
00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:07,679
Speaker 2: going we're doing anything.

473
00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:11,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, Gonzales was really great when he could You imagine

474
00:22:11,920 --> 00:22:13,680
Speaker 3: him with the Patriots or you know, a team brought

475
00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:15,560
Speaker 3: a really good quarterback, you put him on the Colts,

476
00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:18,560
Speaker 3: you put him on the Saints when Breeze was there. Gosh,

477
00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:23,080
Speaker 3: it's elevated Kelsey. If Kelsey's not with Mahomes, we're saying

478
00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:26,800
Speaker 3: Kelsey's great, but he's more like George Kittle great rather

479
00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:30,040
Speaker 3: than Travis Kelsey great. I agreed, agree against Taylor Swift

480
00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:31,960
Speaker 3: and it goes to the stratosphere as far as the

481
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:32,760
Speaker 3: TVQ rating.

482
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:35,360
Speaker 1: I see, I see your sizzle fire, I get it.

483
00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:37,760
Speaker 3: I want Trav if I'm a chief now, I don't

484
00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:39,320
Speaker 3: want to see him around. I want him to retire

485
00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:41,639
Speaker 3: because maybe I'll start liking him if he retires, you know,

486
00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:43,640
Speaker 3: like I liked Peyton Manning.

487
00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:44,480
Speaker 1: Now and I like Tom Brady.

488
00:22:44,560 --> 00:22:46,760
Speaker 3: Like Tom Brady, but I hated them like poison when

489
00:22:46,760 --> 00:22:49,119
Speaker 3: they were players, Yes, because they were the enemy. I

490
00:22:49,160 --> 00:22:51,320
Speaker 3: want Travis Kelsey to stop being the enemy and start

491
00:22:51,359 --> 00:22:53,560
Speaker 3: being a retired guy that I can say, Okay, he's.

492
00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:56,840
Speaker 1: Kind of I like, I like that thought process. I

493
00:22:56,920 --> 00:22:57,880
Speaker 1: like that thought process.

494
00:22:57,920 --> 00:23:02,040
Speaker 2: Okay, this one comes from Dan or Oh jeez, and

495
00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:08,359
Speaker 2: I quote I think ty Simpson is QB one in

496
00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:09,720
Speaker 2: this draft.

497
00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:11,679
Speaker 3: All right, that's going to live with him for a

498
00:23:11,760 --> 00:23:14,920
Speaker 3: long time. Right now, it looks like for sizzelefire's minimum

499
00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:19,119
Speaker 3: because Mendoza is the guy, and he's the flavor of

500
00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:20,639
Speaker 3: the year, not just the month.

501
00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:22,639
Speaker 1: It's Fernando Mendoza.

502
00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:26,359
Speaker 3: Now, it could end up that ty Simpson goes to

503
00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:29,480
Speaker 3: a team that's a lot better than the Raiders and

504
00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:33,000
Speaker 3: somehow works his way into the lineup and boila, we've

505
00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:33,760
Speaker 3: got a situation.

506
00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:37,000
Speaker 1: Starter gets hurt. Maybe he's that good. Who knows.

507
00:23:37,119 --> 00:23:39,200
Speaker 3: Once upon a time, Russell Wilson was a third round

508
00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:42,919
Speaker 3: draft choice who beat out a free agent named Matt Flynn,

509
00:23:43,280 --> 00:23:46,160
Speaker 3: who was there with big money on the table of.

510
00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:48,199
Speaker 1: Seattle, and they said, we got to go with the

511
00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:48,720
Speaker 1: better guy.

512
00:23:49,119 --> 00:23:52,040
Speaker 3: I'm not saying that's ty Simpson, but stranger things have

513
00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:54,480
Speaker 3: happened in this league, and it maybe doesn't happen right away.

514
00:23:54,760 --> 00:23:58,879
Speaker 3: So is Orlowski right If in year three Simpson is

515
00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:01,679
Speaker 3: doing well and going to the playoffs and maybe not

516
00:24:01,800 --> 00:24:06,520
Speaker 3: Greape but good and Mendoza turns into nothing ish for

517
00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:08,600
Speaker 3: THELA or Las Vegas Raiders.

518
00:24:08,640 --> 00:24:09,080
Speaker 1: I did it.

519
00:24:09,200 --> 00:24:12,640
Speaker 3: You know, I am more likely to say LA Raiders,

520
00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:14,280
Speaker 3: I mean than Oakland Raiders.

521
00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:18,000
Speaker 1: I am too. I do that a lot at Las Vegas.

522
00:24:18,160 --> 00:24:20,879
Speaker 3: I kind of came of age football wise with the

523
00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:24,080
Speaker 3: Raiders in LA, even though I knew the Oakland thing,

524
00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:26,600
Speaker 3: of course, and they went back to Oakland. But I

525
00:24:26,600 --> 00:24:29,159
Speaker 3: still feel like, say in LA sometimes they're an LA

526
00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:31,480
Speaker 3: team anyway, They're still their preseason games are still in

527
00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:33,640
Speaker 3: the air in Los Angeles. That believe me, they pay

528
00:24:33,760 --> 00:24:35,639
Speaker 3: good money to get that done. I know this for

529
00:24:35,680 --> 00:24:36,080
Speaker 3: a fact.

530
00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:40,280
Speaker 1: The Athletic did their mock draft.

531
00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:43,639
Speaker 2: As we move on to another one, okay, number twenty

532
00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:48,800
Speaker 2: eight they have chosen. Mike Jones has chosen for the Texans,

533
00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:52,919
Speaker 2: Blake Miller off. It's to tackle from Clemson. Here's my

534
00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:56,800
Speaker 2: hot take. I don't believe the Texans are going to

535
00:24:56,840 --> 00:24:58,960
Speaker 2: take an offensive line and it picked number twenty eight.

536
00:24:59,240 --> 00:25:00,280
Speaker 1: How hot is that hot take?

537
00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:03,159
Speaker 3: I think that's only a one and a half at

538
00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:07,400
Speaker 3: this point. I do believe they will take two linemen

539
00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:11,639
Speaker 3: in the first four rounds. So I got to go

540
00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:14,440
Speaker 3: into Saturday with this prediction, which is not really going

541
00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:17,239
Speaker 3: out on a big limb, but to not take one

542
00:25:17,280 --> 00:25:19,520
Speaker 3: in the first round, I think is very understandable because

543
00:25:19,560 --> 00:25:22,200
Speaker 3: Nick could look at it and say, there's nobody worth

544
00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:24,159
Speaker 3: this pick right here, and I feel like there are

545
00:25:24,160 --> 00:25:26,320
Speaker 3: a few guys that are definite second rounders and we

546
00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:27,360
Speaker 3: can get two picks that.

547
00:25:27,520 --> 00:25:30,119
Speaker 1: Let's just wait, thank you, We'll wait till Friday, will

548
00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:30,640
Speaker 1: get our guy.

549
00:25:30,760 --> 00:25:32,840
Speaker 3: It will trade up if we really feel like we

550
00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:36,080
Speaker 3: have to going into Friday night or on Friday night

551
00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:38,199
Speaker 3: to move up and get the player or players that

552
00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:40,520
Speaker 3: we want, but late in the first round.

553
00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:42,560
Speaker 1: Listen, there's a lot of talk around here about the

554
00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:46,440
Speaker 1: draft party. What do we do? What have we decided yet?

555
00:25:46,680 --> 00:25:47,199
Speaker 1: What do we do?

556
00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:51,600
Speaker 3: I don't know. We're still looking at the pride look

557
00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:53,840
Speaker 3: at it like this. I know all you and I

558
00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:55,680
Speaker 3: have the idea of doing it Friday. No matter what,

559
00:25:56,240 --> 00:26:00,359
Speaker 3: I can guarantee ninety nine point nine percent will be

560
00:26:00,440 --> 00:26:02,320
Speaker 3: picks Friday night, no matter what happens in the first

561
00:26:02,359 --> 00:26:04,600
Speaker 3: ye absolutely will be picks on Friday Night.

562
00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:08,280
Speaker 1: Nick Nick. Nick even says I gotta pick at some point, right,

563
00:26:08,359 --> 00:26:11,280
Speaker 1: He's not trading out of rounds two and three, there

564
00:26:11,280 --> 00:26:12,359
Speaker 1: will be picks Friday night.

565
00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:14,960
Speaker 3: We'll have multiple picks Friday night for a happier draft

566
00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:17,600
Speaker 3: party of Friday night than a Thursday night where they

567
00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:21,680
Speaker 3: might not draft. But I do think this. I don't

568
00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:23,679
Speaker 3: think Nick trades out of the first round if he

569
00:26:23,760 --> 00:26:26,480
Speaker 3: does until that night. Yeah, so we're gonna go through

570
00:26:26,520 --> 00:26:29,360
Speaker 3: what we went through last year, hopefully without the thunderstorm.

571
00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:31,479
Speaker 1: But we'll go through what we went through last year,

572
00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:33,600
Speaker 1: which is waiting, waiting, waiting.

573
00:26:33,240 --> 00:26:35,760
Speaker 3: And all of a sudden he's out and see a

574
00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:36,840
Speaker 3: Friday everybody, and.

575
00:26:36,760 --> 00:26:38,560
Speaker 1: Then we'll have a fun Friday night. Yeah, we will

576
00:26:38,600 --> 00:26:39,520
Speaker 1: have a fun Friday night.

577
00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:42,720
Speaker 2: I first of all, I mean maybe the Texas draft

578
00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:45,800
Speaker 2: Blake Miller or not. I'm I'm not a fan of

579
00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:48,040
Speaker 2: him at twenty eight. Probably wouldn't be a fan until

580
00:26:48,080 --> 00:26:51,920
Speaker 2: sixty something whatever. But that's maybe for a different discussion.

581
00:26:52,119 --> 00:26:56,919
Speaker 2: But I've thought through this thing backwards and forwards, and

582
00:26:56,960 --> 00:27:00,639
Speaker 2: when they put a tackle there that almost made little

583
00:27:00,760 --> 00:27:03,960
Speaker 2: That made little sense to me because you've got to

584
00:27:04,040 --> 00:27:07,160
Speaker 2: ursera left tackle. You just haven't got Braden Smith. Oh

585
00:27:07,200 --> 00:27:09,680
Speaker 2: what if Braidon gets hurt? That's why you signed Trent

586
00:27:09,880 --> 00:27:12,360
Speaker 2: and you still have Blake Fisher. I think you've got

587
00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:14,359
Speaker 2: your four tackles. Now you're gonna have to have some

588
00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:16,359
Speaker 2: depth during camp. Guys are gonna get banged up and

589
00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:17,640
Speaker 2: they can't take every single rep.

590
00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:22,000
Speaker 3: But that's when George the second comes back exactly. Not

591
00:27:22,520 --> 00:27:25,320
Speaker 3: a high draft yet, George fan meaning a pronoun here

592
00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:28,159
Speaker 3: of a player who might be available, who might be

593
00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:28,760
Speaker 3: able to help.

594
00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:31,000
Speaker 2: You out right, And there's gonna be you know, Jarek

595
00:27:31,080 --> 00:27:33,560
Speaker 2: Kingston is gonna get some time at tackle right there,

596
00:27:33,640 --> 00:27:36,040
Speaker 2: and he's he was resigned.

597
00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:40,800
Speaker 1: So I feel like tackle is okay, you know, is it?

598
00:27:41,800 --> 00:27:45,399
Speaker 2: You know Trent Williams on one side and Lane Johnson

599
00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:47,199
Speaker 2: and the other. No, we're not there yet, but I

600
00:27:47,200 --> 00:27:50,160
Speaker 2: feel like you've got enough resources that tackle to feel

601
00:27:50,160 --> 00:27:50,639
Speaker 2: good about it.

602
00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:53,119
Speaker 1: If anyboding draft Charlie Heck the second.

603
00:27:53,119 --> 00:27:56,199
Speaker 2: Right, which Charlie didn't go till day three, which I

604
00:27:56,240 --> 00:27:59,360
Speaker 2: could see them taking a tackle on day three, serviceable right,

605
00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:05,440
Speaker 2: Blake Miller that said, I could see them taking a guard,

606
00:28:05,480 --> 00:28:07,200
Speaker 2: And I thought this was interesting. When I did my

607
00:28:07,200 --> 00:28:10,679
Speaker 2: my my three round mock at football takeover dot Com,

608
00:28:11,359 --> 00:28:14,320
Speaker 2: I had the Texans at that point drafting a guard

609
00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:15,400
Speaker 2: Chase Pisantis.

610
00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:19,399
Speaker 1: Now, I love everything about Chase. He's from New Jersey.

611
00:28:19,440 --> 00:28:21,800
Speaker 2: It Scott, some nasty enemy played started his career tackle

612
00:28:21,880 --> 00:28:25,200
Speaker 2: move to guard. Everything you like about him. He's agile,

613
00:28:25,680 --> 00:28:27,639
Speaker 2: good hands, good run blocker. I think you could be

614
00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:30,439
Speaker 2: a really good pass protector as well. I really like

615
00:28:30,600 --> 00:28:34,800
Speaker 2: Chase Pisantis. So that was my That was my pick

616
00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:37,200
Speaker 2: at twenty eight to take a guard. I still think

617
00:28:37,680 --> 00:28:41,880
Speaker 2: even with Wyatt Teller here, even with resigning at Ingram,

618
00:28:41,920 --> 00:28:44,720
Speaker 2: I still feel like at guard you might you might

619
00:28:44,760 --> 00:28:46,920
Speaker 2: be a guy short, and that might be the perfect

620
00:28:46,960 --> 00:28:49,080
Speaker 2: opportunity at that point to take a guard. And I

621
00:28:49,120 --> 00:28:53,760
Speaker 2: also feel like the guards are more plentiful in this draft.

622
00:28:53,840 --> 00:28:55,600
Speaker 2: I like the guards a lot more than I like

623
00:28:55,640 --> 00:28:56,040
Speaker 2: to tackle.

624
00:28:56,120 --> 00:28:57,840
Speaker 3: As I think about it, how many sicel fiers did

625
00:28:57,840 --> 00:29:00,280
Speaker 3: I give you for saying no offensive lineman the first

626
00:29:00,400 --> 00:29:01,320
Speaker 3: round that hot take?

627
00:29:01,560 --> 00:29:02,480
Speaker 1: You gave me at least four?

628
00:29:03,800 --> 00:29:06,040
Speaker 3: No, no, no, no, I thought it was I thought

629
00:29:06,080 --> 00:29:08,239
Speaker 3: it was like, okay, I can go with that one

630
00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:08,720
Speaker 3: and a half.

631
00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:09,400
Speaker 1: Yeah.

632
00:29:10,160 --> 00:29:12,360
Speaker 3: Now I want to up the sizzle fire count, Johnny,

633
00:29:12,360 --> 00:29:15,280
Speaker 3: because as I think about it, and I mentioned this

634
00:29:15,400 --> 00:29:18,480
Speaker 3: briefly last week, Nick's doing it to us again.

635
00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:20,240
Speaker 1: He signs these veterans.

636
00:29:20,280 --> 00:29:23,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, and he drafts underneath or over them, whatever you

637
00:29:23,800 --> 00:29:27,000
Speaker 3: want to call it, alongside them and says, go fight

638
00:29:27,040 --> 00:29:30,200
Speaker 3: it out. We'll see how the wash comes out during

639
00:29:30,200 --> 00:29:33,160
Speaker 3: training camp. No, look, why Teller's gonna play. But you

640
00:29:33,200 --> 00:29:36,000
Speaker 3: want to catch lightning in a bottle maybe, and you

641
00:29:36,080 --> 00:29:38,920
Speaker 3: gotta go relatively high to do that, so you can't

642
00:29:38,920 --> 00:29:41,160
Speaker 3: eliminate the first round. I still won't up until more

643
00:29:41,200 --> 00:29:42,800
Speaker 3: than more than two sizzlefires.

644
00:29:42,800 --> 00:29:45,360
Speaker 2: But in my in my second mock, it's not gonna

645
00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:47,280
Speaker 2: be an offensive line. It's not definitely not gonna be

646
00:29:47,280 --> 00:29:49,040
Speaker 2: a tackle. I can promise that. It's not gonna be

647
00:29:49,040 --> 00:29:50,680
Speaker 2: a center. It's little hyphens. Why are you doing that?

648
00:29:50,680 --> 00:29:53,240
Speaker 2: By the way, Vandermock three point zero comes out this week?

649
00:29:53,360 --> 00:29:55,240
Speaker 2: Oh nice, we could talk about that. Oh yeah, my

650
00:29:55,280 --> 00:29:57,000
Speaker 2: mock will probably come out because I'll do a three rounder.

651
00:29:57,040 --> 00:29:59,160
Speaker 2: It probably come out early next week. I'm working on

652
00:29:59,160 --> 00:30:01,720
Speaker 2: getting my one hundred, uh so i'd be out there.

653
00:30:01,840 --> 00:30:03,760
Speaker 2: But I thought it was interesting because I had them

654
00:30:03,760 --> 00:30:06,120
Speaker 2: taking Chase Pasontis and my first mock, which was back

655
00:30:06,160 --> 00:30:10,120
Speaker 2: in early February. Daniel Jeremiah's most recent mockus who had

656
00:30:10,120 --> 00:30:10,680
Speaker 2: at twenty eight.

657
00:30:10,840 --> 00:30:14,560
Speaker 1: Oh Chase Best, there you go. Yeah, so nothing that

658
00:30:15,160 --> 00:30:17,680
Speaker 1: Johnny Harris stuff. Believe me. You know it was interesting.

659
00:30:17,840 --> 00:30:19,880
Speaker 1: You remember who I also had going number thirty two

660
00:30:19,880 --> 00:30:20,760
Speaker 1: to the Seattle Seahawks.

661
00:30:20,800 --> 00:30:22,640
Speaker 2: You remember that because I said they were gonna lose

662
00:30:22,720 --> 00:30:27,120
Speaker 2: Kenneth Walker and Genarian Price. You know he had going

663
00:30:27,160 --> 00:30:29,760
Speaker 2: number thirty two to the Seattle Seahawks. Zarion Price.

664
00:30:30,040 --> 00:30:32,440
Speaker 3: Well, look, I'm not saying this is plagiarism, because I

665
00:30:32,480 --> 00:30:34,440
Speaker 3: know it's not. I know there's only so many players

666
00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:37,479
Speaker 3: at all around, and it's exactly if it's logic driven,

667
00:30:37,840 --> 00:30:42,160
Speaker 3: that's exactly right, simple logic driven, like they need somebody.

668
00:30:42,240 --> 00:30:43,280
Speaker 1: But I can guarantee you this.

669
00:30:43,640 --> 00:30:47,760
Speaker 3: I don't even have to look every draft guy like Jeremiah,

670
00:30:47,800 --> 00:30:50,680
Speaker 3: all those draft guys out there, Kuyper, they're.

671
00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:53,040
Speaker 1: All reading the other mocks of people they respect.

672
00:30:53,400 --> 00:30:57,040
Speaker 3: They're all reading they want to see what the other

673
00:30:57,080 --> 00:30:59,000
Speaker 3: guys are thinking because they want to gauge.

674
00:30:59,040 --> 00:31:03,000
Speaker 1: Am I crazy? That's right? At least there's multiple crazy people.

675
00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:06,040
Speaker 3: If I'm crazy thinking the same thing or something similar,

676
00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:07,080
Speaker 3: Am I nuts?

677
00:31:07,240 --> 00:31:08,320
Speaker 1: When I go to do my mock.

678
00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:11,040
Speaker 2: I mean there's certain people for particular teams I go

679
00:31:11,160 --> 00:31:13,880
Speaker 2: I'll go look at to see what they're saying, what

680
00:31:13,880 --> 00:31:16,040
Speaker 2: they're thinking their draft needs are. Now, I won't look

681
00:31:16,080 --> 00:31:19,200
Speaker 2: at who they've taken, but the needs. But I'll look

682
00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:21,680
Speaker 2: at the needs and what they're thinking about.

683
00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:25,520
Speaker 3: Good point because no matter how well you know the league.

684
00:31:25,640 --> 00:31:28,920
Speaker 3: And I listened to serious x MNFL radio, those guys

685
00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:32,440
Speaker 3: pack Kurwin knows things pretty well. He does, and I

686
00:31:32,800 --> 00:31:34,720
Speaker 3: still don't know what happened to Jim Miller, by the way,

687
00:31:34,960 --> 00:31:37,520
Speaker 3: but pack Kerwin knows things well. But some of those

688
00:31:37,520 --> 00:31:41,640
Speaker 3: guys don't know them as well. And you listen to

689
00:31:41,680 --> 00:31:43,640
Speaker 3: them talking about other teams, and the way you know,

690
00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:46,160
Speaker 3: and listeners of this show will know. The way you

691
00:31:46,200 --> 00:31:48,800
Speaker 3: know is when they're talking about your team. You know

692
00:31:48,920 --> 00:31:51,800
Speaker 3: what's real or at least what's real enough, right, And

693
00:31:51,840 --> 00:31:55,360
Speaker 3: then you hear their take any national media member and

694
00:31:55,400 --> 00:31:58,560
Speaker 3: you think, oh, they don't really know us, they don't

695
00:31:58,600 --> 00:31:59,400
Speaker 3: really know us.

696
00:31:59,400 --> 00:32:01,840
Speaker 1: They know us at all.

697
00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:05,480
Speaker 2: But I could see of all those and I it's

698
00:32:05,520 --> 00:32:08,280
Speaker 2: funny because I've been thinking about and doing my second mock.

699
00:32:08,360 --> 00:32:10,320
Speaker 1: I'm like, where am I? Where am I going with

700
00:32:10,320 --> 00:32:10,800
Speaker 1: this pig?

701
00:32:11,520 --> 00:32:15,040
Speaker 2: Because I feel like it could be a guard and

702
00:32:15,080 --> 00:32:17,360
Speaker 2: I'd be okay with that, I think center is a

703
00:32:17,360 --> 00:32:19,040
Speaker 2: little too early. I think thirty eight you can get

704
00:32:19,040 --> 00:32:21,840
Speaker 2: a center and maybe get the number one center, and

705
00:32:22,240 --> 00:32:25,640
Speaker 2: I think center will be different for everybody. But I

706
00:32:25,640 --> 00:32:28,719
Speaker 2: think there are some definite names at center. But I

707
00:32:28,760 --> 00:32:31,000
Speaker 2: feel like it's that one's gonna be tough. I'm gonna

708
00:32:31,040 --> 00:32:33,000
Speaker 2: kind of let it play out and see. What I

709
00:32:33,080 --> 00:32:35,920
Speaker 2: have to make sure I do is put logic behind it,

710
00:32:35,960 --> 00:32:38,400
Speaker 2: so I don't just put Kenyon Sadik at twenty eight

711
00:32:38,720 --> 00:32:41,080
Speaker 2: and then that's what I did.

712
00:32:41,920 --> 00:32:46,520
Speaker 1: It's is always sometimes.

713
00:32:46,360 --> 00:32:48,480
Speaker 2: I would love Kenyon Sadig all right. I love a

714
00:32:48,480 --> 00:32:51,320
Speaker 2: lot of people. I love the NFL. There's plenty of

715
00:32:51,360 --> 00:32:54,720
Speaker 2: news I mentioned earlier. Jas San's got a new contract.

716
00:32:54,960 --> 00:32:58,880
Speaker 2: How big is it? It's big, It's real big and

717
00:32:58,920 --> 00:33:01,120
Speaker 2: he deserves it. Talk about that and then some around

718
00:33:01,120 --> 00:33:04,280
Speaker 2: the NFL. Next right here in Texans All Access.

719
00:33:07,120 --> 00:33:10,560
Speaker 1: Here we go Happy Monday, everybody. It's a beautiful night.

720
00:33:10,720 --> 00:33:13,400
Speaker 2: So it's just great wherever you are, especially for the

721
00:33:13,440 --> 00:33:16,040
Speaker 2: city of Houston. I'm your host the season for Texans

722
00:33:16,040 --> 00:33:19,400
Speaker 2: All Access, John Harris Football and All Sideline reporter and

723
00:33:19,840 --> 00:33:23,680
Speaker 2: not a fan of Iowa, Nebraska, Illinois, any of them.

724
00:33:23,680 --> 00:33:27,000
Speaker 2: But I'm really excited for them to come to town for

725
00:33:27,360 --> 00:33:29,680
Speaker 2: this South Regional this weekend.

726
00:33:29,760 --> 00:33:31,520
Speaker 1: It is going to be fabulous.

727
00:33:31,560 --> 00:33:35,280
Speaker 2: Those fan bases all travel extremely well. And then of

728
00:33:35,280 --> 00:33:37,680
Speaker 2: course you got the Kooks in their hometown looking to

729
00:33:37,760 --> 00:33:40,200
Speaker 2: make another Final Four.

730
00:33:40,560 --> 00:33:43,080
Speaker 1: Made it last year, fell short to Florida.

731
00:33:43,200 --> 00:33:46,880
Speaker 2: Will not get a shot at revenge because Florida got

732
00:33:46,920 --> 00:33:49,720
Speaker 2: Iowa and market I was so funny weird studio today

733
00:33:49,720 --> 00:33:51,320
Speaker 2: and Mark was like, man, did you see that last

734
00:33:51,320 --> 00:33:54,400
Speaker 2: play for Iowa that scored a three point bucket?

735
00:33:54,440 --> 00:33:56,680
Speaker 1: Man, Florida played horrible defense. Be'st basketball.

736
00:33:56,800 --> 00:33:59,160
Speaker 2: We won't worry about that for the time being, but

737
00:33:59,480 --> 00:34:01,560
Speaker 2: we gotta go on the NFL. We mentioned earlier at

738
00:34:01,600 --> 00:34:05,080
Speaker 2: JSN is going to be the top paid wide receiver

739
00:34:05,160 --> 00:34:07,600
Speaker 2: in the NFL by how much?

740
00:34:07,840 --> 00:34:08,680
Speaker 1: What are the numbers?

741
00:34:09,680 --> 00:34:12,319
Speaker 2: You can look obviously at different people's accounts of what

742
00:34:12,360 --> 00:34:18,239
Speaker 2: they all mean, but basically, on an average annual average

743
00:34:18,680 --> 00:34:23,719
Speaker 2: value basis, he will get forty two point one point

744
00:34:23,760 --> 00:34:28,360
Speaker 2: five million dollars per year in new money. That moves

745
00:34:28,440 --> 00:34:32,200
Speaker 2: past Jamar Chase, who is making forty and a quarter

746
00:34:32,239 --> 00:34:36,439
Speaker 2: million four years, one hundred and sixty eight point six

747
00:34:36,520 --> 00:34:41,240
Speaker 2: million dollar contract extension one hundred and twenty million guaranteed.

748
00:34:42,640 --> 00:34:46,200
Speaker 1: Yuh me, Wow, that is a lot of cash.

749
00:34:46,520 --> 00:34:48,799
Speaker 2: But as I said in the first segment, and I

750
00:34:48,880 --> 00:34:50,920
Speaker 2: through the hot take at Mark, this is a hot take,

751
00:34:50,960 --> 00:34:53,799
Speaker 2: I actually believe and I agree with Mark wholeheartedly. When

752
00:34:53,840 --> 00:34:56,600
Speaker 2: you think about the players the Texas faced last year

753
00:34:57,120 --> 00:35:01,040
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty five, that first game of the year,

754
00:35:01,040 --> 00:35:02,560
Speaker 2: we got Matt Stafford and Puka Nakua.

755
00:35:02,560 --> 00:35:04,880
Speaker 1: Puka was awesome in that game. I mean awesome.

756
00:35:04,960 --> 00:35:06,640
Speaker 2: We try to knock him out, I mean he was

757
00:35:06,680 --> 00:35:08,719
Speaker 2: bleeding all over the place, came back in as he

758
00:35:08,760 --> 00:35:09,360
Speaker 2: get ten catches.

759
00:35:09,400 --> 00:35:10,239
Speaker 1: He was outstanding.

760
00:35:11,320 --> 00:35:14,279
Speaker 2: He and JSN, and I think JSN was the best

761
00:35:14,280 --> 00:35:18,360
Speaker 2: that we saw. JSN was incredible. He was absolutely amazing

762
00:35:18,400 --> 00:35:21,520
Speaker 2: that night. Got a little dust up on the sideline

763
00:35:21,560 --> 00:35:24,360
Speaker 2: as well. He's got some Texas toughness. I just think, Jess,

764
00:35:24,560 --> 00:35:26,960
Speaker 2: I think the world is JSN. And I know there

765
00:35:26,960 --> 00:35:28,839
Speaker 2: are a lot of people that at some point CEJSN

766
00:35:28,800 --> 00:35:30,680
Speaker 2: are like, oh man, we could add JSN if we

767
00:35:30,719 --> 00:35:33,040
Speaker 2: just stay at number twelve instead going up and getting

768
00:35:33,080 --> 00:35:35,719
Speaker 2: Will et cetera, et cetera. Yeah, but we went have

769
00:35:35,719 --> 00:35:39,000
Speaker 2: Will Anderson. So I like what we have. But I

770
00:35:39,040 --> 00:35:42,840
Speaker 2: have the utmost respect for jsn I. Dude is a baller.

771
00:35:42,920 --> 00:35:44,920
Speaker 2: He can do anything on a football field. He plays

772
00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:49,040
Speaker 2: through through injury places for being hurt. He's as tough

773
00:35:49,080 --> 00:35:52,600
Speaker 2: as hell, and he was tremendous seventeen hundred and ninety

774
00:35:52,600 --> 00:35:56,640
Speaker 2: three receiving yards averaged, fifteen point one yards per catch

775
00:35:56,640 --> 00:36:01,359
Speaker 2: at one hundred nineteen receptions, and ten tuddies me to touchdown. Sorry,

776
00:36:01,400 --> 00:36:04,880
Speaker 2: Sean and Seth. He's Mason first team All Pro in

777
00:36:04,960 --> 00:36:07,080
Speaker 2: the right year to be first team All Pro. But

778
00:36:07,719 --> 00:36:10,240
Speaker 2: keep in mind the sale Seahawks trade away DK Metcalf,

779
00:36:11,480 --> 00:36:14,600
Speaker 2: and they're trading away DK Metcalf, You're like, okay, well

780
00:36:15,440 --> 00:36:16,120
Speaker 2: got eat somebody.

781
00:36:16,120 --> 00:36:16,520
Speaker 1: So he wented.

782
00:36:16,560 --> 00:36:20,640
Speaker 2: They got Cooper Cup. It's great they drafted Elijah Arroyo.

783
00:36:21,440 --> 00:36:24,360
Speaker 2: But in a grand scheme of things, those guys did well.

784
00:36:24,880 --> 00:36:26,799
Speaker 2: But jays Sen was a straw that started drink. I

785
00:36:26,800 --> 00:36:28,440
Speaker 2: think he was the best player we saw last year.

786
00:36:28,480 --> 00:36:31,040
Speaker 2: It was pretty pretty amazing, to be honest with you.

787
00:36:31,440 --> 00:36:36,120
Speaker 2: A former Texan said that he is open to reuniting

788
00:36:36,239 --> 00:36:37,480
Speaker 2: with a former quarterback.

789
00:36:38,480 --> 00:36:39,760
Speaker 1: That would be DeAndre Hopkins.

790
00:36:41,200 --> 00:36:45,160
Speaker 2: The former quarterback Kyler Murray said that DeAndre Hopkins he

791
00:36:45,200 --> 00:36:49,120
Speaker 2: talked to TMZ was out for Tom Brady's flag football contest.

792
00:36:49,160 --> 00:36:52,760
Speaker 2: He made an incredible catch, which Hop does. He said, Kyler,

793
00:36:52,760 --> 00:36:55,000
Speaker 2: that's my bro man. Kyler's like family. I talked to

794
00:36:55,040 --> 00:36:57,000
Speaker 2: Kyler throughout the year. Last year, I talked to Kyler

795
00:36:57,040 --> 00:37:00,120
Speaker 2: after his situation in Arizona. Kyler's like family man, and

796
00:37:00,120 --> 00:37:03,239
Speaker 2: I would would always embrace that journey with him. He's

797
00:37:03,239 --> 00:37:05,840
Speaker 2: in a one year deal. If I'm not mistaken, whatever

798
00:37:05,840 --> 00:37:09,040
Speaker 2: I can do for someone like that. If Kyler needed me,

799
00:37:09,560 --> 00:37:13,320
Speaker 2: the Vikings need me, they know I'll be there. Justin Jefferson,

800
00:37:13,480 --> 00:37:16,880
Speaker 2: the Vikings got one of the best receivers in the game,

801
00:37:18,239 --> 00:37:21,560
Speaker 2: but Hop knows he is a piece that could help

802
00:37:21,600 --> 00:37:24,920
Speaker 2: the Vikings. He said, and I quote even further, I

803
00:37:24,960 --> 00:37:26,680
Speaker 2: just want to be around good people man that love

804
00:37:26,719 --> 00:37:29,080
Speaker 2: the game. Just be able to give some knowledge if

805
00:37:29,080 --> 00:37:30,879
Speaker 2: I can, to some young players. I've played this game

806
00:37:30,920 --> 00:37:33,120
Speaker 2: thirteen seasons, so I think it's a blessing to be

807
00:37:33,200 --> 00:37:36,040
Speaker 2: able to see other guys grow and help their development.

808
00:37:36,080 --> 00:37:38,360
Speaker 2: That is going to be one of the most talked

809
00:37:38,360 --> 00:37:43,280
Speaker 2: about stories this offseason is how that goes with Kyler Murray,

810
00:37:43,360 --> 00:37:47,560
Speaker 2: JJ McCarthy and Kevin O'Connell in Minnesota. Jalen Naylor took

811
00:37:47,600 --> 00:37:50,600
Speaker 2: money to leave off the top of my head. I'm

812
00:37:50,600 --> 00:37:52,560
Speaker 2: just I'm blanking. Oh, Naylor went to the Raiders. He

813
00:37:52,600 --> 00:37:54,600
Speaker 2: went to the Raiders, so he's gonna be out with

814
00:37:54,600 --> 00:37:56,200
Speaker 2: the Raiders. Ought Naylor is one of the top number

815
00:37:56,200 --> 00:37:59,200
Speaker 2: threes in the league, so he goes. Maybe Hop steps

816
00:37:59,239 --> 00:38:07,000
Speaker 2: in Addison Jefferson Hopkins, Hockinson getting the ball from Kyler

817
00:38:07,080 --> 00:38:08,280
Speaker 2: Murray or JJ McCarthy.

818
00:38:08,400 --> 00:38:10,839
Speaker 1: Yeah, he could work. Could work.

819
00:38:10,920 --> 00:38:12,840
Speaker 2: Kevin O'Connell's gonna have to try and make that work.

820
00:38:13,360 --> 00:38:15,080
Speaker 2: So we'll see what they do. But Hop said he's

821
00:38:15,120 --> 00:38:18,480
Speaker 2: open to reuniting with Kyler in Minnesota. He did say

822
00:38:18,480 --> 00:38:21,120
Speaker 2: he learned a lot about zone coverage from Bill O'Brien,

823
00:38:21,239 --> 00:38:25,280
Speaker 2: which I heard that interview, and of course you couldn't

824
00:38:25,280 --> 00:38:29,160
Speaker 2: see Hop's tongue lodged in cheek. There's a little sarcasm there.

825
00:38:29,200 --> 00:38:30,960
Speaker 2: But either way, if you know Hop, you know what

826
00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:35,880
Speaker 2: that is. The Fanatics Flag Football contest this weekend. If

827
00:38:35,920 --> 00:38:43,840
Speaker 2: you missed it, Team USA dominated. Pick Six's Darryl Ducett

828
00:38:44,400 --> 00:38:46,680
Speaker 2: just went off. I mean it was it was really

829
00:38:46,719 --> 00:38:49,279
Speaker 2: not even close. Mark and I talked about this a

830
00:38:49,320 --> 00:38:52,880
Speaker 2: little bit. Jalen Hurts threw a pick six, but they

831
00:38:52,960 --> 00:38:57,200
Speaker 2: picked everybody. Team USA was just they were fabulous. Tom

832
00:38:57,200 --> 00:39:00,799
Speaker 2: Brady looked okay for a guy that's forty day forty seven.

833
00:39:00,800 --> 00:39:02,759
Speaker 2: I don't know what he is right now, but he

834
00:39:02,840 --> 00:39:04,400
Speaker 2: had the couple. He had a nice throw in the ends.

835
00:39:04,560 --> 00:39:07,360
Speaker 2: I can't remember who threw it. Maybe Steph Stefan Digsy

836
00:39:07,360 --> 00:39:12,000
Speaker 2: threw that too. So uh yeah, Team USA was absolutely fantastic.

837
00:39:12,520 --> 00:39:15,719
Speaker 2: I mean, they were amazing Texans News. I guess, if

838
00:39:15,760 --> 00:39:18,320
Speaker 2: you want to call it, this looks like there're gonna

839
00:39:18,360 --> 00:39:22,680
Speaker 2: be some number changes coming. At least that's what's been

840
00:39:22,760 --> 00:39:27,480
Speaker 2: teased by our social media department. Earlier today they put

841
00:39:27,480 --> 00:39:29,520
Speaker 2: one out that said Tank that will move to number one.

842
00:39:29,640 --> 00:39:32,640
Speaker 2: I think we knew that as soon as I knew

843
00:39:32,680 --> 00:39:35,000
Speaker 2: that was happening, and I, in fact, I went all

844
00:39:35,000 --> 00:39:38,040
Speaker 2: the way back back to last year when Stefan Diggs

845
00:39:38,200 --> 00:39:40,080
Speaker 2: got hurt and it looked like he wasn't coming back.

846
00:39:40,520 --> 00:39:42,319
Speaker 2: I told Mark, I said, Tank's going to number one,

847
00:39:42,480 --> 00:39:45,400
Speaker 2: and Kamara last is gonna go back to number three.

848
00:39:46,000 --> 00:39:48,879
Speaker 2: He's known as K three for a reason. So if

849
00:39:48,920 --> 00:39:52,919
Speaker 2: Tank's leaving three, Kamar is gonna take three, Tank's gonna

850
00:39:52,920 --> 00:39:55,960
Speaker 2: take number one. Red Blanket Ship's gonna wear number six.

851
00:39:56,320 --> 00:39:59,160
Speaker 2: David Montgomer's gonna wear number thirty two. And I'll bring

852
00:39:59,239 --> 00:40:02,200
Speaker 2: those two up because Blanket Ship wore thirty two in Philly,

853
00:40:02,640 --> 00:40:07,520
Speaker 2: Dave Montgomery wore five in Detroit, but then he wore

854
00:40:07,560 --> 00:40:09,560
Speaker 2: thirty two in college. You were thirty two Chicago, and

855
00:40:09,600 --> 00:40:12,239
Speaker 2: I was gonna wear thirty two again with the Texans.

856
00:40:12,239 --> 00:40:14,600
Speaker 2: So a few number changes as it sits right now.

857
00:40:14,640 --> 00:40:17,959
Speaker 2: Tank Dell going number one, Kamari Lasser going number three,

858
00:40:18,640 --> 00:40:21,840
Speaker 2: Read Blanket Ship six, Dave Montgomery thirty two. And that's

859
00:40:22,040 --> 00:40:24,600
Speaker 2: all I know about numbers, And trust me, I've thought

860
00:40:24,640 --> 00:40:26,200
Speaker 2: about this because some of the offensive line are gonna

861
00:40:26,200 --> 00:40:28,759
Speaker 2: have to change number two. So we'll wait to see what

862
00:40:28,840 --> 00:40:31,560
Speaker 2: that's all about. Speaking of Reblanket Ship, he's gonna join

863
00:40:31,719 --> 00:40:34,200
Speaker 2: us next right here on Texans All Access.

864
00:40:36,200 --> 00:40:37,040
Speaker 1: What's happened? Everybody?

865
00:40:37,160 --> 00:40:38,880
Speaker 2: Welcome back to this one of this year at Texans

866

Speaker 2: All Access from the Texans Radio Studio. I'm your host,

867
00:40:41,920 --> 00:40:46,440
Speaker 2: John Harris, football analyst, sideline reporter for your Houston Texans.

868
00:40:46,480 --> 00:40:50,080
Speaker 2: It's time to catch up with Read Blanket Ship sat

869
00:40:50,120 --> 00:40:52,680
Speaker 2: down Mark vander Meer's great stuff. If you missed it,

870
00:40:52,800 --> 00:40:54,800
Speaker 2: well we got it for you right here.

871
00:40:55,280 --> 00:40:58,840
Speaker 3: Read your reaction to joining the Houston Texans organization.

872
00:40:59,200 --> 00:41:01,719
Speaker 4: Yeah, I was juiced. I was able to talk to

873
00:41:01,800 --> 00:41:04,680
Speaker 4: Demiko before it all went down. I guess that's a

874
00:41:04,719 --> 00:41:08,080
Speaker 4: new thing they could do. And just hearing his words,

875
00:41:08,120 --> 00:41:09,640
Speaker 4: just hearing that, I feel like he's more of a

876
00:41:09,640 --> 00:41:12,200
Speaker 4: player coach, and and that's what I wanted.

877
00:41:12,239 --> 00:41:13,160
Speaker 1: That's that's what I love.

878
00:41:13,239 --> 00:41:16,480
Speaker 4: That's what I love, and in my age is like,

879
00:41:16,520 --> 00:41:19,000
Speaker 4: you know, the Texans are really pursuing you, and I

880
00:41:19,160 --> 00:41:21,120
Speaker 4: really like that. That was honestly one of the last

881
00:41:21,120 --> 00:41:23,719
Speaker 4: teams I would think to pursue me because they had

882
00:41:23,800 --> 00:41:27,719
Speaker 4: like a great defense. And but obviously coming here, man,

883
00:41:27,920 --> 00:41:30,760
Speaker 4: I'm I'm so so thankful, so so happy.

884
00:41:31,080 --> 00:41:33,759
Speaker 3: You're not fully embedded into the culture yet. But you

885
00:41:33,800 --> 00:41:35,960
Speaker 3: said you talked to the micro Ryans and you were

886
00:41:36,000 --> 00:41:38,799
Speaker 3: also part of a great culture in Philadelphia obviously, So

887
00:41:39,320 --> 00:41:41,920
Speaker 3: how do you feel about that part of it? Jumping

888
00:41:41,960 --> 00:41:44,640
Speaker 3: into this phrase as far as the culture and everything.

889
00:41:44,360 --> 00:41:45,480
Speaker 1: Else goes, Yeah, I feel great.

890
00:41:45,520 --> 00:41:47,880
Speaker 4: I feel like their culture kind of, you know, was

891
00:41:47,960 --> 00:41:50,680
Speaker 4: running parallel with the one in Philly, but I just

892
00:41:50,719 --> 00:41:52,560
Speaker 4: want to want to step in, don't want to step

893
00:41:52,560 --> 00:41:54,719
Speaker 4: in on anybody's So just continue what they're what they're

894
00:41:54,760 --> 00:41:56,960
Speaker 4: doing and what they're building. I feel like they're building

895
00:41:57,239 --> 00:42:00,239
Speaker 4: towards the right way, the right direction, and uh, you know,

896
00:42:00,280 --> 00:42:01,239
Speaker 4: we're just here to have fun.

897
00:42:01,800 --> 00:42:04,720
Speaker 1: What makes a great defense read when.

898
00:42:04,520 --> 00:42:06,920
Speaker 3: You look at it, not only playing well on the field,

899
00:42:06,960 --> 00:42:08,680
Speaker 3: but off the field, being tight together.

900
00:42:08,800 --> 00:42:10,799
Speaker 1: How important is that? How do you look at it?

901
00:42:11,080 --> 00:42:13,319
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, like you said, it's not just on

902
00:42:13,400 --> 00:42:15,840
Speaker 4: the field, it's definitely off the field. You got to

903
00:42:15,840 --> 00:42:19,120
Speaker 4: spend time with your guys, your dB group, your your

904
00:42:19,160 --> 00:42:21,719
Speaker 4: linebacker room, your D line. Like I used to call

905
00:42:21,760 --> 00:42:24,040
Speaker 4: it as like a as a marriage, Like everybody has

906
00:42:24,080 --> 00:42:27,000
Speaker 4: to be involved. Everybody has to contribute to this relationship.

907
00:42:27,040 --> 00:42:30,480
Speaker 4: And once you all get involved and start clicking on

908
00:42:30,520 --> 00:42:33,799
Speaker 4: the same cylinders, I mean pretty much unstoppable.

909
00:42:34,440 --> 00:42:37,720
Speaker 3: Fans have obviously seen you play, but take us inside

910
00:42:37,760 --> 00:42:39,840
Speaker 3: a little bit more. What kind of player are the

911
00:42:39,880 --> 00:42:40,960
Speaker 3: Houston Texans getting.

912
00:42:41,560 --> 00:42:43,839
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean they're they're getting a player that loves

913
00:42:43,840 --> 00:42:46,600
Speaker 4: the game of the football. I've said that from when

914
00:42:46,600 --> 00:42:49,359
Speaker 4: I started playing in high school to college that no

915
00:42:49,400 --> 00:42:51,080
Speaker 4: matter what, I'm not going to lose the love of

916
00:42:51,120 --> 00:42:54,160
Speaker 4: the game. I love it with all my heart. I

917
00:42:54,239 --> 00:42:56,960
Speaker 4: lay my body online for it. Especially for my teammates.

918
00:42:56,960 --> 00:42:59,799
Speaker 4: You know, they're very important to me because I know

919
00:42:59,800 --> 00:43:02,640
Speaker 4: they're going to this exact same thing. So they're getting

920
00:43:02,640 --> 00:43:04,920
Speaker 4: a player that loves to play football and a guy

921
00:43:04,960 --> 00:43:07,840
Speaker 4: that studies the game really well and has IQ to

922
00:43:08,480 --> 00:43:10,000
Speaker 4: communicate and get guys lined up.

923
00:43:10,680 --> 00:43:13,120
Speaker 3: How about the hunger you have as a player from

924
00:43:13,160 --> 00:43:16,520
Speaker 3: a young age playing in Alabama, going to Middle Tennessee,

925
00:43:16,960 --> 00:43:19,800
Speaker 3: getting into the league undrafted, You've had to fight for everything?

926
00:43:19,880 --> 00:43:21,480
Speaker 1: Read how and why is that?

927
00:43:22,200 --> 00:43:24,480
Speaker 4: That's just how it rolls. That's how life rolls. And

928
00:43:24,920 --> 00:43:26,920
Speaker 4: you know the saying once if life gives you limits

929
00:43:26,960 --> 00:43:28,960
Speaker 4: and make lemonade. And I feel like I've been doing

930
00:43:28,960 --> 00:43:32,000
Speaker 4: that at each level of my career. And I'm thankful

931
00:43:32,040 --> 00:43:34,040
Speaker 4: and blessed that I have people into my corner, you know,

932
00:43:34,080 --> 00:43:37,120
Speaker 4: my family, my wife, to continue that and to keep

933
00:43:37,160 --> 00:43:40,359
Speaker 4: me humble and continuing my career here.

934
00:43:40,440 --> 00:43:43,239
Speaker 3: So well, you talked about what makes you really good

935
00:43:43,280 --> 00:43:45,840
Speaker 3: as a player. What about a safety in general? What

936
00:43:45,880 --> 00:43:48,000
Speaker 3: are we looking at here? What is a great safety?

937
00:43:48,000 --> 00:43:49,560
Speaker 3: And I know there are different kinds of safeties.

938
00:43:49,719 --> 00:43:52,759
Speaker 4: There is just the first thing. Don't let anything get

939
00:43:52,760 --> 00:43:56,439
Speaker 4: behind you. First off, Second off. Obviously the communication part.

940
00:43:56,520 --> 00:43:59,200
Speaker 4: I feel like the safety is the quarterback of the defense.

941
00:43:59,320 --> 00:44:02,440
Speaker 4: And you know, sometimes people think the mic linebacker is,

942
00:44:02,480 --> 00:44:05,839
Speaker 4: which I he can be at times, but I mean

943
00:44:05,840 --> 00:44:08,520
Speaker 4: safety has a lot of communications. They can talk to

944
00:44:08,600 --> 00:44:11,840
Speaker 4: the d line at times. Some d NS linebackers. You

945
00:44:11,920 --> 00:44:13,880
Speaker 4: got to talk to your corner across the field, so

946
00:44:13,920 --> 00:44:17,480
Speaker 4: you got to direct traffic and become that air traffic

947
00:44:17,560 --> 00:44:21,120
Speaker 4: control type guy. So, uh, I believe that safety is

948
00:44:21,120 --> 00:44:23,919
Speaker 4: a pretty hard position to play because if things happen,

949
00:44:23,960 --> 00:44:26,399
Speaker 4: you're the last guy there and they're gonna blame you.

950
00:44:26,440 --> 00:44:28,440
Speaker 4: But uh, you know that's that's just part of it.

951
00:44:28,480 --> 00:44:30,680
Speaker 4: But like I said, we just get guys lined up

952
00:44:30,719 --> 00:44:31,479
Speaker 4: and then play hard.

953
00:44:32,000 --> 00:44:34,839
Speaker 3: You've been an important part of a championship team and

954
00:44:34,880 --> 00:44:37,799
Speaker 3: that's what we're trying to create here in Houston. And

955
00:44:37,840 --> 00:44:39,920
Speaker 3: you talked about what makes a great defense and everything,

956
00:44:39,960 --> 00:44:42,359
Speaker 3: what makes a great secondary and safety? What about the

957
00:44:42,400 --> 00:44:45,359
Speaker 3: whole team and accomplishing the ultimate goal?

958
00:44:45,400 --> 00:44:46,520
Speaker 1: What's important about that?

959
00:44:46,760 --> 00:44:49,040
Speaker 4: I mean everybody has to be bought in, you know,

960
00:44:49,360 --> 00:44:52,280
Speaker 4: from day one, OTA's you have to be bought in there.

961
00:44:52,320 --> 00:44:55,120
Speaker 4: You can't really be missing. Guy's got to show up

962
00:44:55,160 --> 00:44:58,839
Speaker 4: to and show the little details matter. We preached out

963
00:44:58,840 --> 00:45:00,840
Speaker 4: a lot, and I'm sure that to me, Go preaches

964
00:45:00,880 --> 00:45:03,720
Speaker 4: that too here, that the little details matter the most

965
00:45:03,840 --> 00:45:06,120
Speaker 4: and you can't skip out on those. And if you

966
00:45:06,120 --> 00:45:10,040
Speaker 4: skip out on those, then that can mean between winning

967
00:45:10,120 --> 00:45:13,160
Speaker 4: and losing. So and like I said, the relationships in

968
00:45:13,200 --> 00:45:15,600
Speaker 4: the locker room, like defense has relationships, but it's also

969
00:45:15,640 --> 00:45:18,879
Speaker 4: an offense. You gotta be a whole family. You gotta

970
00:45:18,920 --> 00:45:22,200
Speaker 4: be combined together. You got to do everything together, and

971
00:45:22,280 --> 00:45:24,960
Speaker 4: we all go through the tough things together. So you know,

972
00:45:25,040 --> 00:45:26,960
Speaker 4: why not strive to be the best.

973
00:45:27,239 --> 00:45:30,280
Speaker 1: What do you know about Houston? What are your impressions?

974
00:45:30,440 --> 00:45:33,440
Speaker 3: I know that we're just getting started here, but tell

975
00:45:33,520 --> 00:45:35,080
Speaker 3: us about your impressions of h town.

976
00:45:35,200 --> 00:45:38,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean don't really know much about Houston. I've

977
00:45:38,680 --> 00:45:41,439
Speaker 4: played here once and that was in I Guess twenty

978
00:45:41,480 --> 00:45:43,360
Speaker 4: twenty two. I played here once but didn't get to

979
00:45:43,360 --> 00:45:46,160
Speaker 4: see the city. I'm a Southern guy at heart, so

980
00:45:46,640 --> 00:45:49,840
Speaker 4: coming down here seeing obviously the rodeo and the livestock

981
00:45:49,880 --> 00:45:52,919
Speaker 4: and everything, it feels like home. And the weather down

982
00:45:52,920 --> 00:45:56,080
Speaker 4: here is so nice. So first impressions really love it.

983
00:45:56,560 --> 00:45:59,080
Speaker 4: I'm sure as time goes on, I will fall in

984
00:45:59,080 --> 00:46:00,000
Speaker 4: love with it even more.

985
00:46:00,480 --> 00:46:03,440
Speaker 3: You've been part of a great defense, and this defense

986
00:46:03,480 --> 00:46:06,080
Speaker 3: is so close to be number one in all categories.

987
00:46:06,120 --> 00:46:08,160
Speaker 3: And he probably didn't have much time to watch it,

988
00:46:08,239 --> 00:46:08,759
Speaker 3: but you know a.

989
00:46:08,680 --> 00:46:09,279
Speaker 2: Lot about it.

990
00:46:09,320 --> 00:46:11,200
Speaker 1: Absolutely. Yeah.

991
00:46:11,200 --> 00:46:13,920
Speaker 4: I mean watching the Texans defense when it pops up

992
00:46:13,920 --> 00:46:15,880
Speaker 4: on the screen, it's just you know, you got guys

993
00:46:15,880 --> 00:46:18,240
Speaker 4: flying around. You know, you got a bunch of dogs

994
00:46:18,280 --> 00:46:20,680
Speaker 4: on the defense, and you know, I take pride in

995
00:46:20,719 --> 00:46:23,120
Speaker 4: flying around getting to the ball. And what's kind of

996
00:46:23,120 --> 00:46:25,440
Speaker 4: been instilled in me is if you stop the camera

997
00:46:25,520 --> 00:46:29,000
Speaker 4: and when you're watching watching film and you have nine

998
00:46:28,960 --> 00:46:32,280
Speaker 4: to ten, maybe eleven guys all in that one picture,

999
00:46:32,560 --> 00:46:35,000
Speaker 4: that's a really good defense. And regardless of what position

1000
00:46:35,040 --> 00:46:36,759
Speaker 4: you play, this corner can be on the other side

1001
00:46:36,800 --> 00:46:39,160
Speaker 4: of the field, but he's in that picture on that

1002
00:46:39,280 --> 00:46:41,920
Speaker 4: last clip of the play that shows that shows a

1003
00:46:41,960 --> 00:46:42,640
Speaker 4: great defense.

1004
00:46:43,040 --> 00:46:45,680
Speaker 2: Youre better stuff there from one of the newest Texans

1005
00:46:45,840 --> 00:46:49,080
Speaker 2: read blank and ship Baby. Yeah, it's gonna be fun

1006
00:46:49,120 --> 00:46:53,320
Speaker 2: watching the new number six, which makes me think he

1007
00:46:53,400 --> 00:46:57,359
Speaker 2: wore thirty two in Philly and now David Montgomery, I

1008
00:46:57,400 --> 00:46:59,440
Speaker 2: believe is wearing thirty two. Well, we got a lot

1009
00:46:59,480 --> 00:47:01,760
Speaker 2: of numbers, and we talked about that a little bit earlier,

1010
00:47:01,840 --> 00:47:04,320
Speaker 2: so believe read blank and ship gonna one number six

1011
00:47:04,480 --> 00:47:05,880
Speaker 2: for your Houston texts.
