00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:27,880

Speaker 1: did it NRG on Thursday, the upcoming season will have

00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:46,319
Speaker 1: little bit of the show there too. But before we

23
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:48,520
Speaker 1: get to those guys, Cecil and I want to get

24
00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:51,920
Speaker 1: into this this Texans dress rehearsal that they did on Thursday.

25
00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:55,120
Speaker 1: And I tell you what, man, there was a lot

26
00:01:55,640 --> 00:02:00,400
Speaker 1: of interesting tidbits that I saw are not actually we saw,

27
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:03,800
Speaker 1: but gleaned from things that were seen by other people.

28
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:07,400
Speaker 1: Because you know, we don't have access to RG this

29
00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:10,160
Speaker 1: year because of the coronavirus. There's a lot of things

30
00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:12,840
Speaker 1: going over there NRG that we don't get to see.

31
00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:16,120
Speaker 1: But Sean Pendergast was there so got some of his insight,

32
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:18,520
Speaker 1: will be getting his insight a little bit later. Of course,

33
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:20,960
Speaker 1: Mark vandermir was there, John Harris was there. Those guys

34
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:23,960
Speaker 1: were all at the at the scrimmages and it was

35
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:26,919
Speaker 1: ad dress rehearsal. Man. The guys went out there and

36
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:29,520
Speaker 1: we're in full pass there in full uniforms. They did

37
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:33,680
Speaker 1: the introductions, m they had the crowd, noise was pumped

38
00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:37,240
Speaker 1: into the building and just see, so from your perspective, man, like,

39
00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:40,600
Speaker 1: how do you how do you think those guys approached

40
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:44,360
Speaker 1: that that dress rehearsal, and how do you how do

41
00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:45,920
Speaker 1: you think you would approach it, and how do you

42
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:49,239
Speaker 1: how do you feel like that it's going to help

43
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:51,720
Speaker 1: them going forward for the twenty twenty season. Well, for me,

44
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:54,079
Speaker 1: I think I would approach that as the I would

45
00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:55,560
Speaker 1: have took us a game, you know what I mean.

46
00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:57,880
Speaker 1: You got the crowd noise in there, you got the announcing.

47
00:02:57,919 --> 00:02:59,960
Speaker 1: I think that was the goal of the whole situation

48
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:01,920
Speaker 1: and going there to like, okay, let's make this as

49
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:04,480
Speaker 1: game like as possible, and like you said, it's a

50
00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:08,720
Speaker 1: dress rehearsal form the tenth So I think they did

51
00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:12,440
Speaker 1: as best as they could put those guys in that

52
00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:16,160
Speaker 1: situation with realistic of course, not hitting the quarterbacks. But

53
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:17,840
Speaker 1: you know, I think I'm pretty sure it was thud

54
00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:20,040
Speaker 1: a lot of the times. But you know, when you

55
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:22,120
Speaker 1: got the defense courting to call the plays, offense coording

56
00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:24,240
Speaker 1: they call the plays, you they probably gained planning for

57
00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:27,480
Speaker 1: each other, made scripts the whole nine, maybe even gave

58
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:30,799
Speaker 1: a little scouting report just to give a little prep

59
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:33,800
Speaker 1: for the upcoming game coming up soon. Um, so I

60
00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:35,320
Speaker 1: would have took it this series. I'm pretty sure that

61
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:37,760
Speaker 1: they took it as a game. And it's fun. It's

62
00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:39,320
Speaker 1: really fun when you get to go out there and

63
00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:41,720
Speaker 1: just fly around when you get a chance to. And

64
00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:45,040
Speaker 1: it's it's tough and difficult because normally around this time,

65
00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:47,520
Speaker 1: you're tired of going against your guys, right, You're tired

66
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:50,240
Speaker 1: of seeing the same guys over and over again. You're

67
00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:51,880
Speaker 1: tired of you know, they know what you do, you

68
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:53,520
Speaker 1: know what they do. But you get a chance to

69
00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:57,240
Speaker 1: scheme averse to each other and not freelance, but have

70
00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:00,640
Speaker 1: some opportunity to just play against each other and then

71
00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:02,880
Speaker 1: have fun. I think it was it was a good

72
00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:06,720
Speaker 1: idea and it's what's needed for the Texas moving forward.

73
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:08,680
Speaker 1: Is that something that y'all did when when you were

74
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:11,040
Speaker 1: with the Texans, Because when I was with the Texas

75
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:14,280
Speaker 1: with Kubiak, we really didn't go into the actual stadium

76
00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:17,240
Speaker 1: if we did our dress rehearsals. So we did our

77
00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:19,600
Speaker 1: scrimmages out there on the practice field outside and it

78
00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:21,920
Speaker 1: would be fans out there and stuff. But I didn't

79
00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:25,360
Speaker 1: I have noticed that since Bill O'Brien has has been

80
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:28,320
Speaker 1: in charging, especially since they got the new turf in

81
00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:31,160
Speaker 1: there that they've had more opportunities to go out there

82
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:36,040
Speaker 1: and actually practice or scrimmage throughout the season in the

83
00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:38,760
Speaker 1: actual NRG stadium. Did y'all do that at all when

84
00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:40,960
Speaker 1: you were there? We did so. Bill O'Brien did a

85
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:44,279
Speaker 1: good job of communicating with the guys like, hey, you

86
00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:46,000
Speaker 1: guys want to go and it'll be a group of

87
00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:48,919
Speaker 1: be a committee right older veterans like hey, do you

88
00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:50,440
Speaker 1: wanna be on grass that they want to be on turf,

89
00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:52,400
Speaker 1: be in the sun, wanna be out the sun. So

90
00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:53,880
Speaker 1: he did a good job of taking care of us

91
00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:55,640
Speaker 1: as far as hey, today we're gonna be indoors, so

92
00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:58,200
Speaker 1: we'll have four practices and indoors. It could be in

93
00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:00,160
Speaker 1: a bubble or it could be in the actual day,

94
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:02,280
Speaker 1: independent on what's going on. Yeah, So it was it

95
00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:04,159
Speaker 1: was dope because he's like, all right, he's taking care

96
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:05,800
Speaker 1: of us, he's making sure that we're okay, trying to

97
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:08,400
Speaker 1: put us in the best situation to play well. One

98
00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:10,440
Speaker 1: Sunday and then this was during camp. He would even

99
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:12,880
Speaker 1: do this, so this this is nothing new. He does

100
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:16,080
Speaker 1: a great job of figuring out ways to cater to

101
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:19,080
Speaker 1: his vets per se and make sure he's uh, he's

102
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:21,120
Speaker 1: good with those guys. Yeah, I tell you what. That's

103
00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:23,600
Speaker 1: That's something about Bill O'Brien that I noticed people. It's

104
00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:26,360
Speaker 1: kind of a misconception. If you're a veteran and guy

105
00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:28,720
Speaker 1: and he trust you, oh yeah, he takes care of you.

106
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:31,360
Speaker 1: If you're a rookie and he doesn't trust you, it's

107
00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:33,960
Speaker 1: the exact opposite. You're gonna get the blues and so

108
00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:37,040
Speaker 1: then and that's just something that to me as a

109
00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:40,360
Speaker 1: as a veteran guy, you can appreciate that. Yeah. Um.

110
00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:43,200
Speaker 1: But at the same time, it's just you know, there's

111
00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:45,080
Speaker 1: there's more than one way that's getting a cat. There's

112
00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:48,000
Speaker 1: and and there's there's some coaches that approach you and say, hey,

113
00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:49,599
Speaker 1: you're a professional. I don't care if you're a rookie

114
00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:52,120
Speaker 1: or you're a tendued guy. Uh, this is what I

115
00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:54,520
Speaker 1: expect you to do, and I'm not gonna micro manage you. Um.

116
00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:56,960
Speaker 1: There's another side of it that says, hey, once once

117
00:05:57,000 --> 00:05:59,320
Speaker 1: you get once I gained trust from you and and

118
00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:02,120
Speaker 1: you gain my trust, now I'm gonna treat you in

119
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:04,160
Speaker 1: a different way than I'm going to do a younger guy,

120
00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:06,160
Speaker 1: somebody that hasn't gained my trust. And that's something I've

121
00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:09,400
Speaker 1: kind of noticed about his coaching philosophy over there with

122
00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:11,760
Speaker 1: the Texans. He does a great job of just communicating

123
00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:13,880
Speaker 1: with his players so they're all on the same page

124
00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:16,920
Speaker 1: no matter what's going on in or around. He does

125
00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:19,359
Speaker 1: a great job of making sure, Okay, this is what's

126
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:21,120
Speaker 1: going on, this is what I'm thinking. What do you

127
00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:26,440
Speaker 1: guys think now moving that's a quick question for you.

128
00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:28,240
Speaker 1: How do you feel if this is what we can't

129
00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:30,599
Speaker 1: be there, which I'm so jealous of Mark and John

130
00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:32,880
Speaker 1: and all those guys that can be there. Right. What's

131
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:35,080
Speaker 1: the thing that you read or highlights that you've seen

132
00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:38,200
Speaker 1: that just stood out to you as far as the scrimmage, Well,

133
00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:41,480
Speaker 1: I tell you what, man, it wasn't necessarily from the scrimmage,

134
00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:46,000
Speaker 1: but somebody that was mentioned after the scrimmage was Charles

135
00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:48,120
Speaker 1: the meniheugh and what his player has been like. And

136
00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:51,080
Speaker 1: you've you've heard his name throughout all of the practices

137
00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:56,600
Speaker 1: after this scrimmage at NRG and you know, Bill O'Brien

138
00:06:56,720 --> 00:06:59,200
Speaker 1: talked about him a little bit in the press conference

139
00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:01,280
Speaker 1: about what he did, what he's done so far in

140
00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:04,440
Speaker 1: his training camp and in a while and something like this. Yeah,

141
00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:06,800
Speaker 1: Charles has had a really good camp. He's uh, he's

142
00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:10,120
Speaker 1: really uh, you know. To me, he's like almost a

143
00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:12,920
Speaker 1: different player than he was last year. He just he's stronger,

144
00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:16,080
Speaker 1: he's put weight on, he's his technique is better. He's

145
00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:18,600
Speaker 1: very focused. Uh. I think guys, you know, from year

146
00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:20,760
Speaker 1: one to year two, if they play in year one,

147
00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:24,320
Speaker 1: you know, they they they do a lot of guys

148
00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:26,440
Speaker 1: do take that jump going into year two. They have

149
00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:29,960
Speaker 1: more confidence, They understand the routine, they understand pro football.

150
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:33,000
Speaker 1: He's got a great veterans there like JJ and Brandon

151
00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:35,400
Speaker 1: Dunn and you know, those guys that have been around

152
00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:38,160
Speaker 1: a while at that position. We've coached him, so I

153
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:41,560
Speaker 1: think he's definitely improved. Yeah, and Charles and many who

154
00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:44,400
Speaker 1: him being one of those guys that last last year

155
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:47,240
Speaker 1: he made plays, but there were a lot of plays

156
00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:50,040
Speaker 1: that he was half a step from making. Um, he

157
00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:52,720
Speaker 1: was he was just this close to making that play.

158
00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:55,440
Speaker 1: Reminds me of what JJ was like his rookie year.

159
00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:56,680
Speaker 1: And not to say that Charles and Minny he was

160
00:07:56,680 --> 00:07:59,080
Speaker 1: gonna turn into JJ Watt. But JJ Watt was one

161
00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:01,040
Speaker 1: of those guys that was this close. He was half

162
00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:03,160
Speaker 1: a step away from making a bunch of plays. He

163
00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:05,280
Speaker 1: made a huge jump for one year from year one

164
00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:07,240
Speaker 1: to year two, and then year and three and four

165
00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:10,120
Speaker 1: he became you know, JJ Watt, which was one of

166
00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:12,040
Speaker 1: the best to ever do it. But Charles a man

167
00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:13,960
Speaker 1: of who does remind me the way he looked last

168
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:15,960
Speaker 1: year where he was winning one on one battles against

169
00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:19,240
Speaker 1: offensive lineman and sometimes he was making plays, but there

170
00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:20,920
Speaker 1: was more. There was more out there, There was more

171
00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:23,680
Speaker 1: meat on those bones that he wasn't quite doing, wasn't

172
00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:27,160
Speaker 1: quite getting And the fact that he's continuing to improve,

173
00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:29,240
Speaker 1: and you're hearing Bill O'Brien talk about it, you're hearing

174
00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:32,800
Speaker 1: multiple sources that are actually been able to see him

175
00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:36,480
Speaker 1: out there practicing and making plays because JJ hasn't practiced

176
00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:39,920
Speaker 1: this entire this entire preseason, and so a many of

177
00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:42,840
Speaker 1: you has been in his spot and there hasn't been

178
00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:45,440
Speaker 1: There hasn't been a hole there. There hasn't been a

179
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:48,000
Speaker 1: situation where you're saying, well, then we need JJ back

180
00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:50,120
Speaker 1: because a minute he was not getting it done. It's

181
00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:52,319
Speaker 1: quite the opposite it's hey, a many of he was

182
00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:54,720
Speaker 1: playing at a very very high level this entire camp,

183
00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:57,640
Speaker 1: and so that's something to be encouraged about coming out

184
00:08:57,640 --> 00:09:00,320
Speaker 1: of the scrimmage energy on Thursday. What would or what

185
00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:02,920
Speaker 1: did JJ improve on? Could you say his rookie year,

186
00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:04,600
Speaker 1: he was like this a half step too soon. He

187
00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:06,720
Speaker 1: was right there, the right almost there at the right time.

188
00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:09,400
Speaker 1: What would he what did he improve on that next

189
00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:11,480
Speaker 1: year and years to come make him so great? Well?

190
00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:13,680
Speaker 1: And many of you talked about this a little bit.

191
00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:15,280
Speaker 1: I think we have this audio later in the show,

192
00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:17,560
Speaker 1: but a many of you talked about it h in

193
00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:20,040
Speaker 1: his press conference that he did today. Pressure he did

194
00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:22,720
Speaker 1: m Yeah, I was there, JJ rookie ear was two

195
00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:24,560
Speaker 1: thy eleven. So that was that was a hell of

196
00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:27,200
Speaker 1: a year for the for the city of Houston because

197
00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:29,679
Speaker 1: the Texans won our first division that year, we went

198
00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:32,280
Speaker 1: went to the playoffs, won our first playoff game. But

199
00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:34,200
Speaker 1: that was his rookie year and he made plays and

200
00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:35,920
Speaker 1: you saw early on in the training camp that he

201
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:37,959
Speaker 1: was going to be a good player, But there was

202
00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:40,920
Speaker 1: nothing that would would tell you this guy's gonna turn

203
00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:43,760
Speaker 1: into Hall of Fame. You know, JJ Watt what he

204
00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:47,079
Speaker 1: is now and so a lot of that stuff has

205
00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:50,360
Speaker 1: to do with gaining confidence and then improving and honing

206
00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:52,800
Speaker 1: on your technique. And I think that's something that that

207
00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:54,840
Speaker 1: Charles the Mannie was trying to do. That's something for

208
00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:57,760
Speaker 1: sure that what JJ did where he if you even

209
00:09:57,800 --> 00:10:01,280
Speaker 1: if you look at JJ's for Zeke when he was

210
00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:04,400
Speaker 1: a rookie versus a second year, it changed. He went

211
00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:07,480
Speaker 1: from he was he was a more I would say,

212
00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:10,720
Speaker 1: a doe year player. You know, he was a doe

213
00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:13,280
Speaker 1: year player his rookie year as opposed to the second year.

214
00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:15,520
Speaker 1: Now he's cut up like he looks like he could

215
00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:17,560
Speaker 1: be you know, like I said, we talked about it

216
00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:19,240
Speaker 1: last week, he's like an action figure or I'm like,

217
00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:21,560
Speaker 1: he's gonna be action here or whatever. But you can

218
00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:24,160
Speaker 1: see his body physically changed from your one to two.

219
00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:26,199
Speaker 1: You can see his technique improve from your one to

220
00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:29,480
Speaker 1: year two. And then his confidence knowing that I can

221
00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:31,920
Speaker 1: beat this guy across from me, and that's something that

222
00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:34,600
Speaker 1: that's what that's what is a huge factor. And if

223
00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:36,480
Speaker 1: you're gonna have success or not in this league, if

224
00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:39,240
Speaker 1: you if you truly believe I'm gonna beat the person

225
00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:42,400
Speaker 1: across from me, you will get it done more times

226
00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:44,800
Speaker 1: than not, as opposed to if you're just saying, well,

227
00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:47,400
Speaker 1: I'm gonna try this and hopefully it works out. When

228
00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:49,400
Speaker 1: you know that I could whoop somebody across from me,

229
00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:51,160
Speaker 1: and I know if I work my technique can do

230
00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:55,319
Speaker 1: it the right way. That now you know, all right,

231
00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:58,079
Speaker 1: this is when you take those huge steps and bounds.

232
00:10:58,120 --> 00:10:59,760
Speaker 1: And I think Charles, I man of you. He has

233
00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:01,800
Speaker 1: it him to make a huge step. We talked about

234
00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:03,440
Speaker 1: last week. He was my guy that I felt like,

235
00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:05,520
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take the biggest step from year one to

236
00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:09,240
Speaker 1: year two in this system, and so I'm looking forward

237
00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:12,000
Speaker 1: to see that out of him this season. The mental game,

238
00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:14,480
Speaker 1: from year one to year two, the mental game period

239
00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:17,440
Speaker 1: is so important for an athlete, right like you said

240
00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:20,080
Speaker 1: it right there, to know that I can get past

241
00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:21,959
Speaker 1: this guy, beat this guy used my taking to get

242
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:25,040
Speaker 1: to the quarterback, rather than I'm hoping this works and

243
00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:27,560
Speaker 1: from year one to year two, getting those reps and

244
00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:30,360
Speaker 1: seeing it and then coming this year, like for many

245
00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:32,400
Speaker 1: of you, getting those reps from practice and like, okay,

246
00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:34,280
Speaker 1: last year I was kind of just getting my feet wet,

247
00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:37,000
Speaker 1: kind of understand what's going on, how to be a pro. Now,

248
00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:39,480
Speaker 1: like you mentioned, JJ's fine, he's working out in the side,

249
00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:41,680
Speaker 1: they're taking care of him. He has in his VET days,

250
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:43,680
Speaker 1: but the many he was getting, all the reps that

251
00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:46,720
Speaker 1: he needs to build that confidence and get that mental

252
00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:49,440
Speaker 1: game strong, because and when your mental game is strong, you,

253
00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:51,679
Speaker 1: like I said, you know you're gonna make plays. You

254
00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:53,360
Speaker 1: know you're gonna go out there, and then then the

255
00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:55,920
Speaker 1: jump from year one of year two in itself for

256
00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:59,000
Speaker 1: most players is a very good jump. So I'm excited

257
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:01,439
Speaker 1: to see him. I'm also cited to see a J. Moore.

258
00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:04,800
Speaker 1: Many more I read about him, the more it's like

259
00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:08,280
Speaker 1: every day it's like he's making plays, he's knocking balls down.

260
00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:11,800
Speaker 1: Everybody loves this his it's his charisma out there. Everybody's

261
00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:13,960
Speaker 1: just coming like this, falling in love with the kids.

262
00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:16,480
Speaker 1: I'm excited to see what he can bring, not only

263
00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:19,600
Speaker 1: on special teams, but possibly a bigger role on defenses. Yeah,

264
00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:23,120
Speaker 1: you've you've seen that. He's been a guy that's kind

265
00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:24,599
Speaker 1: of come out the blue and a lot of in

266
00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:26,199
Speaker 1: a lot of ways, a lot of perspective. He's just

267
00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:28,280
Speaker 1: looked at as a special team's guy when he first

268
00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:31,480
Speaker 1: got here, but he's continuing to improve his his his

269
00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:35,520
Speaker 1: playmaking ability at the safety position or the star position

270
00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:37,480
Speaker 1: on the nickel corner, however you want to put him,

271
00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:40,480
Speaker 1: he's there. And that's the thing about his defenses and

272
00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:43,040
Speaker 1: you'll see that. I think throughout the season is they

273
00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:45,440
Speaker 1: have a probably a handful of like three or four

274
00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:48,079
Speaker 1: guys that can make They're interchangeable. They can put in

275
00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:51,360
Speaker 1: multiple roles, either deep as a safety in the box,

276
00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:54,880
Speaker 1: um as a as a nickel player right outside the box.

277
00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:59,520
Speaker 1: They are utilizing multiple guys in that role, but he's

278
00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:01,880
Speaker 1: been the one that's made the most plays. And so

279
00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:04,360
Speaker 1: the way this league works, if you're making plays in

280
00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:07,280
Speaker 1: training camp, you're making plays in practice, especially this year

281
00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:10,040
Speaker 1: more than any because there is no preseason games that's

282
00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:12,959
Speaker 1: gonna allow you opportunities to play in the game. And

283
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:14,960
Speaker 1: so a J. Moore is somebody I think coming out

284
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:17,920
Speaker 1: of the scrimmage in NRG and just this this training

285
00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:20,599
Speaker 1: camp in general, debts to be excited about. With the

286
00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:25,000
Speaker 1: Texans um another guy's John Reid. John John Reid is

287
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:27,520
Speaker 1: a guy I think I saw you on Texas Extra

288
00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:29,840
Speaker 1: Points or something like that. Maybe I saw a little

289
00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:31,440
Speaker 1: clip about that. I guess you're gonna be talking about

290
00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:34,560
Speaker 1: that tonight that comes on to night. I think it. Yeah,

291
00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:37,079
Speaker 1: that comes on ABC thirteen A season shorts to be

292
00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:39,200
Speaker 1: on there with Drew Daugherty. But I tell you what, man,

293
00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:41,360
Speaker 1: I saw the little clip where you're talking about John Reid.

294
00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:43,520
Speaker 1: Was your guy, that your rookie that you're really excited

295
00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:45,800
Speaker 1: about it? And and Bill O'Brien had some some thoughts

296
00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:48,959
Speaker 1: about John Reid as well part player. I mean, he's, um,

297
00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:50,760
Speaker 1: you know, look, he's got a lot to learn. I

298
00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:54,520
Speaker 1: just said, relative to the rookie class, you know, um,

299
00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:57,000
Speaker 1: you know he's not headed to Cannon quite yet. But

300
00:13:57,280 --> 00:14:00,760
Speaker 1: but relative to the rookie class, he's, uh, he's done

301
00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:04,000
Speaker 1: a good job. He's learning. He plays hard, he's competitive,

302
00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:06,800
Speaker 1: he's a very smart guy. He can do some different things.

303
00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:10,000
Speaker 1: He can help on special teams. He can you know,

304
00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:13,360
Speaker 1: potentially help us on defense. So I just think he's he's, um,

305
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:16,640
Speaker 1: a guy that's mature. He's been through a lot, you know,

306
00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:20,360
Speaker 1: injury wise. Um, you know he said to overcomes things

307
00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:23,920
Speaker 1: when he was at Penn State. Um. And so yeah,

308
00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:26,520
Speaker 1: I think he's doing a good job. So so not

309
00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:30,520
Speaker 1: to throw a wet blanket on your on your thoughts there, O'Brien.

310
00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:34,000
Speaker 1: You know it's hard on those rookies. So I mean,

311
00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:40,920
Speaker 1: I mean for a rookie, right, all right, But that's

312
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:42,800
Speaker 1: Bill O'Brien, and I ain't at it. I ain't at

313
00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:44,840
Speaker 1: a rookie's got own the key. But John Reid has

314
00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:48,040
Speaker 1: had a hell of a training camp but been I mean,

315
00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:50,000
Speaker 1: like he said, for a rookie, he's doing a good job.

316
00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:52,920
Speaker 1: And that's that's the first step. If you're not having

317
00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:56,160
Speaker 1: a good camp as a rookie, um, you definitely don't

318
00:14:56,200 --> 00:14:59,440
Speaker 1: have any chance of either making the team or being

319
00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:01,320
Speaker 1: a factor this season. And the fact that he is

320
00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:04,560
Speaker 1: having a good camp for a rookie, that puts him

321
00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:06,400
Speaker 1: in a running to be able to actually help this

322
00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:09,160
Speaker 1: team this year at some point in and that's what

323
00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:11,240
Speaker 1: you need. They need bodies, especially in the defensive back.

324
00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:14,360
Speaker 1: For the now, we are quickly approaching the one year

325
00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:17,760
Speaker 1: anniversary of a frenetic twenty four hours of trades by

326
00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:20,520
Speaker 1: Bill O'Brien and the Texans. We'll dig into how those

327
00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:27,560

352
00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:45,320
Speaker 1: Everybody has an opinion. This player does this and that

353
00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:47,800
Speaker 1: player does that, and I could be persuaded either way.

354
00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:50,880
Speaker 1: But when it comes to an MVP of MPG, yeah,

355
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:54,320
Speaker 1: miles per gallon. I made my choice. Chevron with Tachron.

356
00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:58,360
Speaker 1: Why well, Number one, it's proven no gasoline gets better mileage.

357
00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:01,040
Speaker 1: Number two, no gasoline has more cleaning power to help

358
00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:04,960
Speaker 1: keep vital engine parts clean. Unbeatable mileage, unbeatable cleaning. You

359
00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:08,560
Speaker 1: can't argue with that Chevron. With Tekron, care for your car.

Speaker 1: Rappaport puts out a tweet that says Texans and standout

427
00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:17,080
Speaker 1: linebacker Zach Cunningham has agreed to terms on a huge

428
00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:21,400
Speaker 1: new extension worth fourteen point five million dollars per year

429
00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:25,880
Speaker 1: in new money average, sources tell me and Tom Pellicero,

430
00:21:26,840 --> 00:21:31,000
Speaker 1: big payday for a rising star. A deal negotiated by

431
00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:36,399
Speaker 1: athletes first led by Kyle McCarthy. Zach Cunningham deal is done.

432
00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:42,240
Speaker 1: First reaction seasil shorts well deserved. I'm glad that Bill

433
00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:45,520
Speaker 1: O'Brien is getting the big name guys out the way.

434
00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:49,080
Speaker 1: I think McClean, like you mentioned off air a week

435
00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:51,240
Speaker 1: or two ago, said that they're going to try to

436
00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:55,120
Speaker 1: get Watson and Cuttingham done before the season, and those

437
00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:58,000
Speaker 1: are those had your halfway done right now. Cunningham is

438
00:21:58,080 --> 00:22:00,400
Speaker 1: one of the best better linebackers in the league. Um.

439
00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:02,680
Speaker 1: I think he was ranked thirteen for whatever like that

440
00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:05,359
Speaker 1: from PFAF the other day. But he is somebody that

441
00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:07,800
Speaker 1: that can help you. Not only all, he's awesome in

442
00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:09,639
Speaker 1: the run game. He can stuff the run game. He's

443
00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:12,159
Speaker 1: a difference maker there. But with his length, with his

444
00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:16,320
Speaker 1: ability to run, he can cover tight ends. He can

445
00:22:16,359 --> 00:22:18,560
Speaker 1: cover running backs and he did a decent job with

446
00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:20,439
Speaker 1: that last year. So for me, he's he's a Pro

447
00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:23,080
Speaker 1: Bowl guy. I'm excited to see him still here in

448
00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:27,160
Speaker 1: this in this blue and red and well deserved. Yeah.

449
00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:28,800
Speaker 1: I tell you what, man, you gotta give a big

450
00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:31,600
Speaker 1: nod to John McClane putting this out there about a

451
00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:34,760
Speaker 1: microso going on Twitter, he put out the tweet that said,

452
00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:38,160
Speaker 1: I expect the Shawn Watson and Zach Cunningham to get

453
00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:40,359
Speaker 1: a deal done before the season starts. And when you

454
00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:42,600
Speaker 1: saw the Shawn Watson, everybody say, oh, yeah, that makes

455
00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:45,720
Speaker 1: perfect sense, but you're kind of surprised that Zach Cunningham

456
00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:48,439
Speaker 1: was being put as a huge priority, and not because

457
00:22:48,840 --> 00:22:51,640
Speaker 1: he's not worthy. It's just, hey, everybody's thinking, you're gonna

458
00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:54,440
Speaker 1: focus all your attention in on Deshaun Watson because he's

459
00:22:54,440 --> 00:22:58,360
Speaker 1: the franchise, But Zach Cunningham, he's one of those young

460
00:22:58,640 --> 00:23:02,480
Speaker 1: pieces on defense, foundational piece that is just coming into

461
00:23:02,560 --> 00:23:04,680
Speaker 1: his own but has played at a very very high

462
00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:06,760
Speaker 1: level in the limited time that he's been here with

463
00:23:06,840 --> 00:23:09,960
Speaker 1: the Texans. And I'm very, very excited about him being

464
00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:13,080
Speaker 1: here for the faeserable future because he's what he's what.

465
00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:15,480
Speaker 1: He's kind of like a he's not prototypical when you

466
00:23:15,560 --> 00:23:18,720
Speaker 1: talk about size, but an effectiveness and what you're gonna

467
00:23:18,760 --> 00:23:22,600
Speaker 1: need out of linebackers in two thou twenties NFL play,

468
00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:26,200
Speaker 1: he's what you need. He's a guy that is extremely athletic.

469
00:23:26,560 --> 00:23:29,280
Speaker 1: He's physical at the point of attack when big guys come,

470
00:23:29,359 --> 00:23:32,520
Speaker 1: when offensive linemans try to come to the second level

471
00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:35,239
Speaker 1: and swallow him up and beat him, beat him up.

472
00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:37,520
Speaker 1: He's very powerful at the point of attack, will get

473
00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:41,320
Speaker 1: rid of blockers, make plays. He's sideline and sideline and

474
00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:43,200
Speaker 1: then he can cover out. He can cover running backs

475
00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:45,280
Speaker 1: out of the backfield and so and he's long. He

476
00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:48,920
Speaker 1: makes plays. You've seen him make interceptions that look very athletic.

477
00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:52,280
Speaker 1: He his bill reminds me of Cam Chancellor, and he's

478
00:23:52,320 --> 00:23:55,360
Speaker 1: physical like Cam Chancellor, but he's a linebacker and he's

479
00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:57,439
Speaker 1: able to play even stronger at the point of attack.

480
00:23:57,480 --> 00:23:59,320
Speaker 1: So I think it was a very very smart move

481
00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:02,320
Speaker 1: the Texans for locking them up. Now, you know it's

482
00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:04,560
Speaker 1: gonna cost you less now than it would later because

483
00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:06,919
Speaker 1: because he didn't go to the Pro Bowl last year.

484
00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:09,639
Speaker 1: I expect him to be a guy that's voted to

485
00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:11,840
Speaker 1: the Pro Bowl this upcoming season. Yeah, he led the

486
00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:14,040
Speaker 1: league in tackles last year. The only reason you didn't

487
00:24:14,040 --> 00:24:15,480
Speaker 1: go to the Pro Bowl because he really wasn't on

488
00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:17,320
Speaker 1: the radar. And once you get on the radar, now

489
00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:19,400
Speaker 1: you take that next step and become a Pro Bowl guy.

490
00:24:19,800 --> 00:24:21,959
Speaker 1: And that's what I think you get at a Zach

491
00:24:22,040 --> 00:24:24,480
Speaker 1: hunting him So glad that he's here. Is a good

492
00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:26,679
Speaker 1: deal for the Texans. As far as locking them up,

493
00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:30,200
Speaker 1: we can get into the numbers and the particulars of it,

494
00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:32,399
Speaker 1: but we don't really know that. This is really literally

495
00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:34,560
Speaker 1: just breaking news. I saw the tweet and it was

496
00:24:34,800 --> 00:24:37,480
Speaker 1: it was posted two minutes before I saw the tweet

497
00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:40,560
Speaker 1: from from Ian Rappaport. So I'm sure they'll get into

498
00:24:40,600 --> 00:24:43,080
Speaker 1: the details of how it's worked out with the salary

499
00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:46,119
Speaker 1: cap and how does affect that, But just looking at

500
00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:48,359
Speaker 1: it on the surface of what kind of deal is

501
00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:51,000
Speaker 1: this for the Texans, it's a great deal because you

502
00:24:51,119 --> 00:24:52,680
Speaker 1: have Zach cunning him in the phone. You have to

503
00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:55,119
Speaker 1: worry about him leaving and going elsewhere, like something that

504
00:24:55,200 --> 00:24:57,880
Speaker 1: has happened with some drafted guys with the Texans over

505
00:24:57,960 --> 00:24:59,159
Speaker 1: the years, And so this is a guy that you

506
00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:01,040
Speaker 1: want to keep in the You want to keep your

507
00:25:01,080 --> 00:25:03,760
Speaker 1: good players home. Man. You find a start like a

508
00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:06,119
Speaker 1: guy that you drafted, a guy that you helped develop.

509
00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:08,840
Speaker 1: The guy that is, like you said mentioned in, one

510
00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:10,560
Speaker 1: of the top linebackers in the league as far as

511
00:25:10,600 --> 00:25:12,480
Speaker 1: he led the league and tackles last year. You got

512
00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:14,040
Speaker 1: to keep that guy here. And if you let him

513
00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:16,080
Speaker 1: get on the market or get through the season and

514
00:25:16,119 --> 00:25:18,159
Speaker 1: he continues to play well, you know that price is

515
00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:22,679
Speaker 1: going up. I just watched Jacksonville trade Yannick and we'll

516
00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:24,560
Speaker 1: get to that a little later. They trade Yannick, They

517
00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:27,080
Speaker 1: had Jalen Ramsey, they had Alan Robinson. Those are three

518
00:25:27,160 --> 00:25:29,560
Speaker 1: Pro bowlers or three top tier one of the some

519
00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:31,880
Speaker 1: of the top people in their position. Let go out

520
00:25:31,960 --> 00:25:34,000
Speaker 1: of the building and they don't have no nothing to

521
00:25:34,040 --> 00:25:37,560
Speaker 1: show for it, right, So to keep more trafficks so

522
00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:42,119
Speaker 1: people and developing him and then let go. So for

523
00:25:42,560 --> 00:25:46,200
Speaker 1: the Texans to um really keep Zach here and working

524
00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:48,440
Speaker 1: on the shan as well, it's a really big deal. Yeah.

525
00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:50,720
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what, man. Once again, if you haven't

526
00:25:50,760 --> 00:25:53,760
Speaker 1: heard it, Zach Cunningham has come to terms with the

527
00:25:53,840 --> 00:25:58,119
Speaker 1: Houston Texans that was reported by Tom Pella Sero and

528
00:25:58,400 --> 00:26:01,400
Speaker 1: Ian rap Report. I saw them actually on on Rapperport's Twitter,

529
00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:04,679
Speaker 1: but those guys co sourced it, and so those are

530
00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:07,200
Speaker 1: two reputable sources. And it doesn't surprise me because, like

531
00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:09,720
Speaker 1: I said, about a week or so ago, John mcclaim

532
00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:12,240
Speaker 1: put out a tweet saying that he expected that the

533
00:26:12,320 --> 00:26:14,960
Speaker 1: Texas were gonna get a deal done with Deshaun Watson

534
00:26:15,040 --> 00:26:17,320
Speaker 1: and Zach Huntingham. And we were talking a little bit

535
00:26:17,359 --> 00:26:21,000
Speaker 1: about the money earlier. I would expect since Zach Huntingham

536
00:26:21,160 --> 00:26:24,000
Speaker 1: is on his fourth year of a deal, I'm sure

537
00:26:24,080 --> 00:26:27,200
Speaker 1: the money won't kick it until next season. Um, steal

538
00:26:27,240 --> 00:26:29,200
Speaker 1: a plenty of money there to take care of the

539
00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:32,560
Speaker 1: most important piece on the Houston Texas and that's Deshaun Watson.

540
00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:35,760
Speaker 1: Um'll be interested to see how soon after this deal

541
00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:39,720
Speaker 1: has done that Deshaun gets done. Um. We were supposed

542
00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:41,240
Speaker 1: to be talking about the fact that this is the

543
00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:45,080
Speaker 1: anniversary of some big trades. Uh. That was that was

544
00:26:45,080 --> 00:26:47,040
Speaker 1: supposed to be. That was what our teas coming into

545
00:26:47,119 --> 00:26:51,920
Speaker 1: this to this segment. UM, I mean, I guess this

546
00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:55,520
Speaker 1: is this is Bill O'Brian's time to make some some

547
00:26:55,760 --> 00:26:58,760
Speaker 1: foundational moves for the organization. If if you get around

548
00:26:58,800 --> 00:27:02,040
Speaker 1: August twenty ninth through by September first, some moves are

549
00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:05,200
Speaker 1: gonna get made for tex I'm I'm gonna put Bill

550
00:27:05,240 --> 00:27:07,360
Speaker 1: le Brown on the clock right now. By September first,

551
00:27:07,359 --> 00:27:10,200
Speaker 1: I would expect the deal done by Deshaun Watson because

552
00:27:10,480 --> 00:27:13,240
Speaker 1: and he actually I think we have this, Uh, we

553
00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:15,960
Speaker 1: have this audio. I just want you to talk. I

554
00:27:16,119 --> 00:27:19,960
Speaker 1: played this audio for me real quick, uh, Brandon about

555
00:27:20,040 --> 00:27:22,680
Speaker 1: his thoughts about the anniversary of the trades from last year.

556
00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:27,080
Speaker 1: Tomorrow will be the one year anniversary of the day

557
00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:29,119
Speaker 1: last year where you made all those trades of the

558
00:27:29,200 --> 00:27:34,359
Speaker 1: Dolphins in the r And I'm I'm just I'm guessing

559
00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:37,159
Speaker 1: it's less busy this year than it was last year

560
00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:38,720
Speaker 1: for you at this time. I'm just curious with the

561
00:27:38,840 --> 00:27:41,520
Speaker 1: year's worth of data. Now, Um, how do you feel

562
00:27:41,520 --> 00:27:45,600
Speaker 1: about what that day has meant to to your football team? Yeah? Look,

563
00:27:45,640 --> 00:27:50,119
Speaker 1: I think that was, you know, a day where you know,

564
00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:52,320
Speaker 1: we made some moves that we felt were in the

565
00:27:52,359 --> 00:27:54,680
Speaker 1: best interest of the team, not only last year but

566
00:27:55,040 --> 00:27:58,560
Speaker 1: moving into the future. I believe that if you if

567
00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:01,159
Speaker 1: you look at the players that we were able to

568
00:28:01,400 --> 00:28:04,400
Speaker 1: acquire or maybe you know, whether it was a pick

569
00:28:04,520 --> 00:28:07,080
Speaker 1: that we used or you know, to acquire a player.

570
00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:12,040
Speaker 1: I believe it made us a better team. Um, you know, look,

571
00:28:12,119 --> 00:28:16,320
Speaker 1: I have trouble remembering, uh my own wedding anniversary. So

572
00:28:16,440 --> 00:28:20,600
Speaker 1: I'm glad you brought up that anniversary. But now when

573
00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:23,440
Speaker 1: he when he made that comment, when when Sean Pendergast

574
00:28:23,440 --> 00:28:25,159
Speaker 1: asked him the question you heard the chuckle in the back,

575
00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:27,680
Speaker 1: you heard you heard how Bill lebron chuckle. He knew

576
00:28:27,720 --> 00:28:29,920
Speaker 1: that this deal was in the work. I mean, the

577
00:28:30,080 --> 00:28:33,240
Speaker 1: deal was the deal is consummated today. That question was asked,

578
00:28:33,320 --> 00:28:35,320
Speaker 1: Was that was that last night? It was earlier today?

579
00:28:35,960 --> 00:28:38,520
Speaker 1: That was today? Right, that was earlier today. So he

580
00:28:38,760 --> 00:28:41,720
Speaker 1: Sean Pendergast asked him this question, right, and this is

581
00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:44,040
Speaker 1: this is like a few hours ago. He's having this

582
00:28:44,400 --> 00:28:47,080
Speaker 1: this zoom call talking with all of the reporters and

583
00:28:47,160 --> 00:28:49,320
Speaker 1: he's like, oh, anniversary. You're like, yeah, just wait to

584
00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:51,800
Speaker 1: what happens when this news breaks and you'll see that

585
00:28:51,920 --> 00:28:54,680
Speaker 1: there's some significance to this. Yeah, maybe this is something

586
00:28:54,760 --> 00:28:56,520
Speaker 1: we can look forward to in the future for the

587
00:28:56,600 --> 00:28:58,600
Speaker 1: next few years, that there's gonna be something big coming

588
00:28:58,680 --> 00:29:01,600
Speaker 1: down around all twenty nine, August thirty or whatever. But

589
00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:03,960
Speaker 1: when he asked that question, that was a big chuckle

590
00:29:04,040 --> 00:29:06,120
Speaker 1: that came out of billow'brian's mouth, and he said, you

591
00:29:06,200 --> 00:29:08,320
Speaker 1: know what, we made a move that we thought was

592
00:29:08,360 --> 00:29:09,960
Speaker 1: in the best interest of the team. We got the

593
00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:12,160
Speaker 1: team better. I think this is another one of those moves,

594
00:29:12,200 --> 00:29:14,280
Speaker 1: and we'll be able to kind of legislate out how

595
00:29:14,360 --> 00:29:16,720
Speaker 1: we thought that anniversary we'll we'll do that in the

596
00:29:16,800 --> 00:29:19,479
Speaker 1: next segment because we're up against it. But yeah, man,

597
00:29:19,560 --> 00:29:22,840
Speaker 1: that's that's that's that's big time. Zach Cunningham is going

598
00:29:22,960 --> 00:29:25,080
Speaker 1: to be a Texan for the next I don't know,

599
00:29:25,200 --> 00:29:27,000
Speaker 1: it didn't give them the years of the dude, it did.

600
00:29:27,120 --> 00:29:29,480
Speaker 1: Here it goes real quick. Four year deal. This is

601
00:29:29,520 --> 00:29:32,640
Speaker 1: coming from Aaron Wilson. Four year deal, fifty eight million

602
00:29:33,080 --> 00:29:36,040
Speaker 1: including twenty three point five million and four guarantees and

603
00:29:36,160 --> 00:29:38,800
Speaker 1: thirty two point five million and injury guarantees. There you

604
00:29:38,880 --> 00:29:41,200
Speaker 1: have it. Four years. So that's four years in addition

605
00:29:41,360 --> 00:29:43,800
Speaker 1: to what he already had one. So you got you,

606
00:29:43,960 --> 00:29:46,520
Speaker 1: you basically got him this season plus four more. Um,

607
00:29:47,040 --> 00:29:49,040
Speaker 1: I'll take it. Good for Zach, good for the Texans,

608
00:29:49,120 --> 00:29:52,280
Speaker 1: and hey, this is this is breaking news. We're gonna

609
00:29:52,280 --> 00:29:54,880
Speaker 1: stick with this topic here, so we'll get into more

610
00:29:54,920 --> 00:30:01,960
Speaker 1: of that next. This is Whitney merciless listening to Texan's radio.

622
00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:46,400
Speaker 1: yelling at the quarterback to throw the ball, throw it,

623
00:30:46,560 --> 00:30:48,720
Speaker 1: Williams is wide open. Why are you doing this to me?

Speaker 1: Use that rocket arm? Come on, they don't listen to you.

625
00:30:52,240 --> 00:30:54,240
Speaker 1: But if you went into a Geico office and yelled,

626
00:30:54,440 --> 00:30:56,960
Speaker 1: someone please help me save some money on car insurance,

627
00:30:57,320 --> 00:31:00,239
Speaker 1: everyone would hop to it, except the intern because it's

699
00:35:28,480 --> 00:35:32,160
Speaker 1: Is Zach Cunningham, linebacker for the Houston Texans, just signed

700
00:35:32,200 --> 00:35:35,680
Speaker 1: a four year, fifty eight million dollar contract. And there

701
00:35:35,800 --> 00:35:39,640
Speaker 1: was somebody that knew that this was brewing weeks ago,

702
00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:42,640
Speaker 1: and he tweeted about it, and so why not go

703
00:35:42,800 --> 00:35:45,000
Speaker 1: to the man himself. We have John McLean on the

704
00:35:45,080 --> 00:35:48,440
Speaker 1: line right now, the general John McLean of host Houston

705

706
00:35:52,640 --> 00:35:55,440
Speaker 1: how are you doing this afternoon? Appreciate you joining us.

707
00:35:55,560 --> 00:35:57,919
Speaker 1: What do you think about this whole Zach Cunningham getting

708
00:35:57,960 --> 00:36:01,120
Speaker 1: this deal done with the Houston Texans, I'm doing great

709
00:36:01,160 --> 00:36:03,399
Speaker 1: way Ope, you and Cecil are doing very well too.

710
00:36:04,360 --> 00:36:06,600
Speaker 1: They've been working on it. We talked about it quite

711
00:36:06,640 --> 00:36:10,239
Speaker 1: a bit. It was not a front Bernard deal like

712
00:36:10,400 --> 00:36:14,720
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson, but they got it done before Watson average

713
00:36:14,760 --> 00:36:18,040
Speaker 1: of fourteen point five million a year. Cunningham certainly worth it.

714
00:36:18,560 --> 00:36:21,000
Speaker 1: You know, they got one of the best tandems at

715
00:36:21,040 --> 00:36:24,680
Speaker 1: inside linebacker in the NFL. I believe it was Pro

716
00:36:24,840 --> 00:36:29,640
Speaker 1: Football focus. I read this past week about the top

717
00:36:29,719 --> 00:36:32,239
Speaker 1: twenty five linebackers in the league and the only team

718
00:36:32,320 --> 00:36:37,000
Speaker 1: that had two in the top fifteen was Dallas and

719
00:36:37,480 --> 00:36:40,320
Speaker 1: then of course the Texans. So I know cunning mswell

720
00:36:40,400 --> 00:36:43,839
Speaker 1: fired up about this, as he should be. And now

721
00:36:43,960 --> 00:36:46,719
Speaker 1: they've only got one more to do, and that would

722
00:36:46,760 --> 00:36:49,880
Speaker 1: be with Deshaun Watson. You know, they freed they redid

723
00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:53,720
Speaker 1: three players contracts and they freed up about eight million,

724
00:36:53,800 --> 00:36:56,839
Speaker 1: and they had about twenty three million under the cap,

725
00:36:57,080 --> 00:37:00,040
Speaker 1: and so they've done this one and now they and

726
00:37:00,280 --> 00:37:03,160
Speaker 1: I can't say, wait and see, so they focused on

727
00:37:03,280 --> 00:37:06,320
Speaker 1: Watson because they've been focused on Watson. But you know,

728
00:37:06,440 --> 00:37:09,600
Speaker 1: both guys got to want to get a deal done. John,

729
00:37:09,719 --> 00:37:11,640
Speaker 1: This is a lot of money for the linebackers. If

730
00:37:11,640 --> 00:37:13,640
Speaker 1: you look at Whitney's contract, if you look up an

731
00:37:13,680 --> 00:37:16,800
Speaker 1: Hard's contract, if you look at what Zach just got today.

732
00:37:17,320 --> 00:37:20,040
Speaker 1: And obviously need to spect some some definitely some some

733
00:37:20,200 --> 00:37:23,880
Speaker 1: good play coming from these guys. What about Watson? Do

734
00:37:24,000 --> 00:37:27,439
Speaker 1: you think there's still a good chance that the deal

735
00:37:27,520 --> 00:37:31,359
Speaker 1: gets done before the season. I've been saying that they

736
00:37:31,440 --> 00:37:33,920
Speaker 1: wanted to get it done by the time the season starts.

737
00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:38,400
Speaker 1: Season starts on September tenth. I would imagine if they're close,

738
00:37:38,960 --> 00:37:41,640
Speaker 1: of course they'll extend that and keep doing it if

739
00:37:41,680 --> 00:37:44,040
Speaker 1: they think they got a chance to get a deal.

740
00:37:44,200 --> 00:37:47,040
Speaker 1: If they don't, then I think they would say, Okay,

741
00:37:47,280 --> 00:37:50,399
Speaker 1: well we'll talk about it after this season when he's

742
00:37:50,440 --> 00:37:53,640
Speaker 1: got a one year left. And but I know both

743
00:37:53,719 --> 00:37:56,520
Speaker 1: sides want to get it done. You know, for a while,

744
00:37:56,760 --> 00:38:01,040
Speaker 1: David mcleta his agent in Austin one or a three

745
00:38:01,120 --> 00:38:03,400
Speaker 1: year extension which would tie him to the team for

746
00:38:03,560 --> 00:38:06,640
Speaker 1: five years, and they wanted four years, which would tie

747
00:38:06,719 --> 00:38:09,200
Speaker 1: him to the team for six years. And either way

748
00:38:09,320 --> 00:38:12,440
Speaker 1: that contract's not going to expire. They're going to redo

749
00:38:12,560 --> 00:38:15,080
Speaker 1: it with a year left. So I don't know why

750
00:38:15,160 --> 00:38:18,000
Speaker 1: that even matters if it's three or four because they're

751
00:38:18,040 --> 00:38:19,800
Speaker 1: going to redo it anyway. And they got him for

752
00:38:19,840 --> 00:38:23,120
Speaker 1: the next two years under a cap friendly contract that

753
00:38:23,200 --> 00:38:26,360
Speaker 1: will not hurt them when they're trying to sign free agents.

754
00:38:26,440 --> 00:38:29,640
Speaker 1: So both sides want to get it done. But I

755
00:38:29,800 --> 00:38:33,200
Speaker 1: love to use this. Bud Adams, the late owner of

756
00:38:33,239 --> 00:38:35,279
Speaker 1: the Oilers, told us one time when he had a

757
00:38:35,360 --> 00:38:39,239
Speaker 1: contract issue with quarterback Warren Moon, and he meant to

758
00:38:39,320 --> 00:38:42,279
Speaker 1: say it takes two to tangle, and he said, well,

759
00:38:42,320 --> 00:38:45,080
Speaker 1: you know it takes two to tango, and you know

760
00:38:45,200 --> 00:38:47,200
Speaker 1: it does take two to tango, and it takes two

761
00:38:47,239 --> 00:38:50,680
Speaker 1: to tangle two. I tell you what, John, And just

762
00:38:50,760 --> 00:38:54,319
Speaker 1: talking about Zach Cunning him, he's a guy that last

763
00:38:54,400 --> 00:38:57,560
Speaker 1: season he put up numbers that would would have you

764
00:38:57,680 --> 00:39:00,600
Speaker 1: believed that he would have been a pro bowler. Sometimes

765
00:39:00,719 --> 00:39:02,440
Speaker 1: that you know, you have to have that really good

766
00:39:02,520 --> 00:39:04,560
Speaker 1: season and then get on people's radar for you to

767
00:39:04,600 --> 00:39:07,080
Speaker 1: actually get over the top and become a pro bowler.

768
00:39:07,120 --> 00:39:08,719
Speaker 1: And a lot of times when you get a big

769
00:39:08,800 --> 00:39:11,960
Speaker 1: contract that goes along with production, it's almost a shoe

770
00:39:12,040 --> 00:39:13,759
Speaker 1: in for you to take that next step and become

771
00:39:13,800 --> 00:39:16,800
Speaker 1: a pro bowler. Do you see that type of season

772
00:39:16,960 --> 00:39:20,560
Speaker 1: out of Zach cunning him in twenty twenty, I could

773
00:39:20,600 --> 00:39:22,920
Speaker 1: see it out of him, But Art McKinney both the

774
00:39:23,040 --> 00:39:25,040
Speaker 1: key as the defense has got to be better. You

775
00:39:25,120 --> 00:39:29,040
Speaker 1: can't go across the board bad on total defense, run

776
00:39:29,160 --> 00:39:32,839
Speaker 1: defense and pass defense and expect to have Pro bowlers now.

777
00:39:32,920 --> 00:39:34,680
Speaker 1: The only one that you're gonna get. If J. J.

778
00:39:34,880 --> 00:39:38,080
Speaker 1: Watt plays a full season, he's a shoe in. But

779
00:39:38,239 --> 00:39:41,160
Speaker 1: if the team continues to win and the defense to

780
00:39:41,239 --> 00:39:43,799
Speaker 1: say as good as it was two years ago when

781
00:39:43,840 --> 00:39:49,000
Speaker 1: they had Watt and Clowney and maybe McKinney, McKinney was

782
00:39:49,440 --> 00:39:52,640
Speaker 1: in there at some point, but the stage is set

783
00:39:52,719 --> 00:39:56,360
Speaker 1: for Zach. Zach, as you guys know, is a complete linebacker.

784
00:39:56,480 --> 00:39:59,560
Speaker 1: He drops into coverage, he plays the run, and on

785
00:39:59,680 --> 00:40:02,440
Speaker 1: a Asian they'll let him rush. That's not his forte

786
00:40:02,640 --> 00:40:06,160
Speaker 1: because he's so good at coverage. So he and McKinney.

787
00:40:06,239 --> 00:40:08,879
Speaker 1: They have different scale sets. But an article try to cover,

788
00:40:09,040 --> 00:40:12,439
Speaker 1: but he's all about the run and Zach can do both.

789
00:40:12,520 --> 00:40:16,359
Speaker 1: So I know Bill O'Brien and Jack Easterby and Cal

790
00:40:16,480 --> 00:40:19,160
Speaker 1: McNair they gotta feel good about getting this still done.

791
00:40:19,840 --> 00:40:22,520
Speaker 1: How good can this defense be? And everybody seem that

792
00:40:22,560 --> 00:40:24,600
Speaker 1: they're healthy, they're ready to go. You just got you

793
00:40:24,680 --> 00:40:27,239
Speaker 1: got two guys that potentially are Pro Bowl linebackers, and

794
00:40:27,280 --> 00:40:29,759
Speaker 1: you can keep everybody healthy in the front seven. You've

795
00:40:29,760 --> 00:40:31,680
Speaker 1: got some helping them back in. How good can this

796
00:40:31,760 --> 00:40:35,480
Speaker 1: defense be? You think this year it was really good

797
00:40:35,600 --> 00:40:38,560
Speaker 1: two years ago? And what happened two years ago? He

798
00:40:38,680 --> 00:40:42,400
Speaker 1: had White play in every game and getting sixteen sacks

799
00:40:42,480 --> 00:40:44,600
Speaker 1: and being first team All Pro. I think for the

800
00:40:44,719 --> 00:40:47,520
Speaker 1: defense to be really good again, JJ's got to play

801
00:40:48,040 --> 00:40:50,800
Speaker 1: a full season. You got to have two young guys

802
00:40:50,960 --> 00:40:55,920
Speaker 1: Charles Minihu and Jacob Martin emerge as consistent pass rushers

803
00:40:56,000 --> 00:40:59,080
Speaker 1: in their second seasons in the system. And if they

804
00:40:59,120 --> 00:41:01,400
Speaker 1: can generate some pressure, you I have to get the

805
00:41:01,480 --> 00:41:05,000
Speaker 1: quarterback just generate some pressure to help the back in that.

806
00:41:05,200 --> 00:41:09,360
Speaker 1: Romeo'crenell told us last week he was talking about the

807
00:41:09,600 --> 00:41:12,879
Speaker 1: coverage is so important. The coverage can help the pass rush,

808
00:41:13,440 --> 00:41:16,080
Speaker 1: Well it can, but you know, really, to me, you

809
00:41:16,160 --> 00:41:19,640
Speaker 1: want to start it up front. They got they got

810
00:41:19,680 --> 00:41:23,920
Speaker 1: a news starter and Eric Murray as safety and all

811
00:41:23,920 --> 00:41:28,200
Speaker 1: their corners played a lot last year. Lonnie Johnson Junior

812
00:41:28,640 --> 00:41:32,359
Speaker 1: looked really good in training camp. Jacob Martin. When Bill

813
00:41:32,360 --> 00:41:34,640
Speaker 1: O'Brien talks about the defense, he talks about him a

814
00:41:34,680 --> 00:41:38,040
Speaker 1: lot and a J. Moore Watch out for a J. Moore.

815
00:41:39,120 --> 00:41:41,640
Speaker 1: You're listening to the Texans Training Camp special presented by

816
00:41:41,800 --> 00:41:44,560
Speaker 1: x Affinity. We have General John McLean of the Houston

817
00:41:44,640 --> 00:41:47,600
Speaker 1: Chronicle joining us talking about the breaking news that Zach

818
00:41:47,640 --> 00:41:50,120
Speaker 1: Henningham has signed a four year, fifty eight million dollar

819
00:41:50,239 --> 00:41:52,600
Speaker 1: extension with the Houston Texans. He'll be here for the

820
00:41:52,719 --> 00:41:55,759
Speaker 1: next five seasons. John, let me ask you this man,

821
00:41:55,880 --> 00:41:59,719
Speaker 1: that the Texans have put themselves in a position now

822
00:42:00,000 --> 00:42:03,560
Speaker 1: that they've locked up Zack Cunningham. You mentioned it earlier

823
00:42:03,800 --> 00:42:06,959
Speaker 1: with DeShawn Watson was the guy that is the number

824
00:42:07,000 --> 00:42:11,160
Speaker 1: one priority of getting signed to a long term extension.

825
00:42:11,600 --> 00:42:14,960
Speaker 1: We saw what happened with Pat Mahomes and his extension

826
00:42:15,040 --> 00:42:16,919
Speaker 1: that he did with the Chiefs, and it was very

827
00:42:18,040 --> 00:42:21,360
Speaker 1: it was very team friendly. It was very cap friendly

828
00:42:21,520 --> 00:42:24,000
Speaker 1: in order for them to get other guys done on

829
00:42:24,080 --> 00:42:29,120
Speaker 1: that roster. Do you see Deshaun Watson giving an inch

830
00:42:29,239 --> 00:42:32,799
Speaker 1: when it comes to being team friendly with the type

831
00:42:32,840 --> 00:42:35,320
Speaker 1: of contract that he gets done, if it was to

832
00:42:35,400 --> 00:42:38,560
Speaker 1: get done before the season starts. Uh no, because he's

833
00:42:38,600 --> 00:42:40,719
Speaker 1: got two years left on his current Dale, which is

834
00:42:40,800 --> 00:42:43,960
Speaker 1: team friendly. That's what happened in Kansas City. He has

835
00:42:44,000 --> 00:42:46,920
Speaker 1: two years left onless Dale, so it's team friendly. So

836
00:42:47,120 --> 00:42:49,480
Speaker 1: then the big, big money kicks up in three years

837
00:42:49,760 --> 00:42:53,720
Speaker 1: and and I think I can't it's two thousand twenty

838
00:42:53,920 --> 00:42:57,640
Speaker 1: three when Mahomes makes forty million for the first time.

839
00:42:58,160 --> 00:43:02,799
Speaker 1: So whatever they signed watching to the kind of deal,

840
00:43:02,880 --> 00:43:05,400
Speaker 1: it'll be good for two more years and it'll be

841
00:43:05,640 --> 00:43:10,720
Speaker 1: team friendly. John. So we got Zach and this page,

842
00:43:11,400 --> 00:43:13,800
Speaker 1: we got the shyness in the works. Now after we

843
00:43:13,840 --> 00:43:15,479
Speaker 1: get these two guys, what are we gonna talk about

844
00:43:15,520 --> 00:43:22,800
Speaker 1: who's up next? After talking about football for a change.

845
00:43:23,680 --> 00:43:26,480
Speaker 1: And that's a good thing. So there's no way there's

846
00:43:26,520 --> 00:43:28,880
Speaker 1: no way that JJ White gets his name thrown in

847
00:43:28,920 --> 00:43:31,120
Speaker 1: the haad it all of getting extension down, say, Jake

848
00:43:31,200 --> 00:43:34,160
Speaker 1: told us. We asked him about that early in training camp.

849
00:43:34,239 --> 00:43:36,960
Speaker 1: He said, no, that's not Sums on his radar, and

850
00:43:37,040 --> 00:43:39,960
Speaker 1: it shouldn't be. He played after season. He's got two

851
00:43:40,040 --> 00:43:43,320
Speaker 1: years laugh, and I'll guarantee if he plays well this season,

852
00:43:43,400 --> 00:43:46,080
Speaker 1: they'll be talking to him about that next year when

853
00:43:46,120 --> 00:43:48,560
Speaker 1: he has one year left and the key and JJ

854
00:43:48,760 --> 00:43:50,400
Speaker 1: knows it, he couldn't come to ask him for an

855
00:43:50,480 --> 00:43:55,040
Speaker 1: extension when he only played a regular season games. You

856
00:43:55,160 --> 00:43:57,440
Speaker 1: look at the going to the offensive side of the ball,

857
00:43:57,480 --> 00:43:59,560
Speaker 1: I mean, you look at the various receivers that are

858
00:43:59,600 --> 00:44:02,200
Speaker 1: based on the last year to deal you got Will Fuller.

859
00:44:02,840 --> 00:44:05,760
Speaker 1: The money, the money that is guaranteed for Brandon Cooks

860
00:44:05,880 --> 00:44:08,560
Speaker 1: is not there for next season. Kenny Steals is on

861
00:44:08,600 --> 00:44:11,160
Speaker 1: the last year he's deal. If there was one guy

862
00:44:11,640 --> 00:44:13,680
Speaker 1: out of those threes that you said that there's no

863
00:44:13,880 --> 00:44:15,440
Speaker 1: way that the texts are going to allow to get

864
00:44:15,480 --> 00:44:19,040
Speaker 1: out of the building, who would that person be? Of

865
00:44:19,200 --> 00:44:23,120
Speaker 1: those receivers right now? Wouldn't say, I couldn't say. Brandon

866
00:44:23,200 --> 00:44:26,120
Speaker 1: Coox is under a multi year deal, so you think Fuller,

867
00:44:26,200 --> 00:44:28,879
Speaker 1: but Fuller. Cooks has been so much better than Will

868
00:44:28,960 --> 00:44:32,760
Speaker 1: Fuller in his career. Coox had four consecutive thousand yard seasons.

869
00:44:32,800 --> 00:44:35,440
Speaker 1: He's been to a Super Bowl because he's managed to

870
00:44:35,520 --> 00:44:38,480
Speaker 1: stay elthy. Last year he missed only two games but

871
00:44:38,600 --> 00:44:42,000
Speaker 1: called a career load of forty two passes. But you know,

872
00:44:42,160 --> 00:44:45,279
Speaker 1: of those two cooks has been great, Fuller has been

873
00:44:45,560 --> 00:44:48,439
Speaker 1: really good at times, great every once in a while.

874
00:44:48,880 --> 00:44:52,520
Speaker 1: But if Will's playing for a new contract or a

875
00:44:52,600 --> 00:44:55,879
Speaker 1: new zip code, because if he continues to get hurt,

876
00:44:56,040 --> 00:44:59,080
Speaker 1: his injuries are legitimate. You know, it's not one case.

877
00:44:59,160 --> 00:45:02,000
Speaker 1: I like to say, some guys get shampoo in their

878
00:45:02,000 --> 00:45:04,719
Speaker 1: eyes and they missed the month. He's not like that.

879
00:45:04,880 --> 00:45:08,000
Speaker 1: His injuries are serious. But he told us he's done

880
00:45:08,080 --> 00:45:11,320
Speaker 1: some new things to help his lower part of the body,

881
00:45:11,719 --> 00:45:15,200
Speaker 1: so he'll help him play sixteen games for the first

882
00:45:15,239 --> 00:45:17,120
Speaker 1: time in his career. He hadn't played for He hadn't

883
00:45:17,120 --> 00:45:20,320
Speaker 1: played as many as fourteen since his rookie year, and

884
00:45:20,520 --> 00:45:24,120
Speaker 1: that's very important. My opinion is I don't see him

885
00:45:24,160 --> 00:45:28,320
Speaker 1: resigning Fuller and Stills next year. They could, but the

886
00:45:28,400 --> 00:45:31,320
Speaker 1: CAP's going down. We don't know how much. It depends

887
00:45:31,360 --> 00:45:33,640
Speaker 1: on what the revenue is, but they're gonna have to

888
00:45:33,719 --> 00:45:36,120
Speaker 1: make some hard decisions. I don't think both those guys

889
00:45:36,160 --> 00:45:38,479
Speaker 1: would be gone, but I think one of them would

890
00:45:38,520 --> 00:45:41,680
Speaker 1: and Kenny Stills is the most likely because he's older

891
00:45:42,040 --> 00:45:44,719
Speaker 1: and even though he's been a good productive player, you

892
00:45:44,800 --> 00:45:47,120
Speaker 1: know he's not will Fuller. He can talk about the

893
00:45:47,200 --> 00:45:49,000
Speaker 1: tight end group a little bit. You got fails at

894
00:45:49,000 --> 00:45:51,439
Speaker 1: Aigin's Thomas and then Wearing. I believe Wearing was able

895
00:45:51,480 --> 00:45:53,399
Speaker 1: to practice this week a little bit. How does he look?

896
00:45:53,680 --> 00:45:56,560
Speaker 1: But overall, how does that tight end group look? Where

897
00:45:56,600 --> 00:45:58,520
Speaker 1: he missed two days and he came back and this

898
00:45:58,719 --> 00:46:03,960
Speaker 1: week he really last week he really stepped up seasonally.

899
00:46:04,000 --> 00:46:06,319
Speaker 1: He's making catches like you. He is too. He's going

900
00:46:06,440 --> 00:46:09,239
Speaker 1: up with people on him, bringing the ball down with him,

901
00:46:09,360 --> 00:46:11,879
Speaker 1: trying to fight knock the ball out. You know, he's

902
00:46:11,920 --> 00:46:16,040
Speaker 1: six five, he's got great reach, he's strong, he's got

903
00:46:16,160 --> 00:46:21,120
Speaker 1: strong hands, good speed, catches all over the field. He's

904
00:46:21,160 --> 00:46:25,080
Speaker 1: just gone make that decision a whole lot tougher. John

905
00:46:25,280 --> 00:46:27,520
Speaker 1: Circling them back to the man of the hour, mister

906
00:46:27,640 --> 00:46:29,799
Speaker 1: Zach Hunningham. We just got a new four year, fifty

907
00:46:29,840 --> 00:46:32,959
Speaker 1: eight million dollars stenching by the Houston Texans. Talking about

908
00:46:32,960 --> 00:46:36,520
Speaker 1: Anthony Weaver and the way that he's calling plays and

909
00:46:36,600 --> 00:46:39,040
Speaker 1: the exotic looks that he's putting up there and the

910
00:46:39,120 --> 00:46:41,759
Speaker 1: Bliss packages that he's putting together. How do you think

911
00:46:41,800 --> 00:46:45,000
Speaker 1: that is going to affect and help Zach Huntingham going

912
00:46:45,360 --> 00:46:50,560
Speaker 1: forward for the twenty twenty season. First of all, I

913
00:46:50,760 --> 00:46:54,760
Speaker 1: think I wrote this yesterday and I believe it. Coaches

914
00:46:54,760 --> 00:46:57,799
Speaker 1: who are calling plays for the first time, they need

915
00:46:58,120 --> 00:47:02,880
Speaker 1: preseason games just like players to. And I asked O'Brian today,

916
00:47:03,239 --> 00:47:06,640
Speaker 1: how do you evaluate players in practice when you don't

917
00:47:06,680 --> 00:47:10,880
Speaker 1: have preseason games or joint practices, and he said, you

918
00:47:11,080 --> 00:47:13,800
Speaker 1: try to do more of going up and down the

919
00:47:13,960 --> 00:47:16,520
Speaker 1: field and guys going against each other. You know, even

920
00:47:16,560 --> 00:47:19,200
Speaker 1: though you don't hit, you still watch for guys to

921
00:47:19,280 --> 00:47:22,160
Speaker 1: get open, guys to cover, guys to come in and

922
00:47:22,239 --> 00:47:26,240
Speaker 1: touch the quarterback with one hand like you're playing flag football,

923
00:47:26,400 --> 00:47:29,560
Speaker 1: screen sack. So they're doing more of that to help

924
00:47:29,680 --> 00:47:33,840
Speaker 1: them evaluate. And everybody out there when they're asked about Weaver,

925
00:47:34,000 --> 00:47:36,799
Speaker 1: they just praise the heck out of Anthony. They're all

926
00:47:36,920 --> 00:47:39,600
Speaker 1: fired up. We don't know what he's going to do

927
00:47:39,840 --> 00:47:42,239
Speaker 1: because he's not going to tell us and he's not

928
00:47:42,400 --> 00:47:45,719
Speaker 1: going to show us until September the tenth when they

929
00:47:45,800 --> 00:47:49,320
Speaker 1: play Kansas City. And this, you know, this opening schedule

930
00:47:49,440 --> 00:47:52,680
Speaker 1: that They have their opponents of forty four and twenty

931
00:47:52,760 --> 00:47:57,440
Speaker 1: by far the toughest four games, and then Minnesota just

932
00:47:57,719 --> 00:48:03,040
Speaker 1: adding Nick got Away from Sinville, giving them another pass

933
00:48:03,200 --> 00:48:08,040
Speaker 1: rusher opposite to Neil Hunter. They have playmakers at defensive end, linebacker,

934
00:48:08,080 --> 00:48:11,400
Speaker 1: and probably one of the best safeties in the league.

935
00:48:11,400 --> 00:48:13,480
Speaker 1: And they're coming in here for the fourth game. So

936
00:48:13,640 --> 00:48:16,960
Speaker 1: that schedule is tough, and we'll get to see right

937
00:48:17,040 --> 00:48:20,600
Speaker 1: off the bat what Anthony Weaver's got in store. And

938
00:48:20,760 --> 00:48:23,719
Speaker 1: one reason it's good because you guys know this, the

939
00:48:23,840 --> 00:48:26,920
Speaker 1: best time to utilize all your weapons is early in

940
00:48:27,000 --> 00:48:29,319
Speaker 1: the season, when they're healthy, guys don't start to get

941
00:48:29,400 --> 00:48:32,759
Speaker 1: beat up. So I'm like you and everybody else out there,

942
00:48:33,040 --> 00:48:36,520
Speaker 1: we want to see what Anthony Weaver and Tim Kelly

943
00:48:36,960 --> 00:48:39,759
Speaker 1: are going to do. Kelly, I think we know he's

944
00:48:39,800 --> 00:48:41,759
Speaker 1: going to have to Shaun Watson throw the ball to

945
00:48:41,840 --> 00:48:45,560
Speaker 1: a whole lot of good receivers, but he doesn't lie

946
00:48:46,280 --> 00:48:50,319
Speaker 1: rely on deception and things like Weaver does. So I'm

947
00:48:50,400 --> 00:48:53,279
Speaker 1: pumped to see what Anthony does. John, what do you

948
00:48:53,320 --> 00:48:56,440
Speaker 1: have on the docket today in the Chronicle and upcoming

949
00:48:56,520 --> 00:48:59,560
Speaker 1: this week to look forward to, I'm writing a column

950
00:48:59,600 --> 00:49:03,719
Speaker 1: about Jen Reid, the rookie cop, rookie corner who can

951
00:49:03,840 --> 00:49:06,560
Speaker 1: take a computer apart and put it back together. He

952
00:49:06,719 --> 00:49:10,239
Speaker 1: built his own computer in high school from parts and

953
00:49:10,480 --> 00:49:14,719
Speaker 1: is an electrical engineering and computer science major, and the

954
00:49:14,880 --> 00:49:17,800
Speaker 1: rookie who is the farthest ahead. According to Bill O'Brien,

955
00:49:18,360 --> 00:49:20,960
Speaker 1: Aaron Wilson's writing about Charles and many who will have

956
00:49:21,200 --> 00:49:24,160
Speaker 1: things about Jack Cunningham. And we'll have things the rest

957
00:49:24,239 --> 00:49:26,160
Speaker 1: of the week. And I appreciate you guys having me

958
00:49:26,239 --> 00:49:29,680
Speaker 1: on it as always. Appreciate you joining us. John, Like always,

959
00:49:29,719 --> 00:49:32,120
Speaker 1: you have the info that nobody else can get. Like

960
00:49:32,200 --> 00:49:34,080
Speaker 1: I said, you had this info about a couple of

961
00:49:34,120 --> 00:49:38,080
Speaker 1: weeks ago. Now, just to make your prophecy completely fulfilled,

962
00:49:38,080 --> 00:49:41,879
Speaker 1: we need to Shaun Watson's deal done. Any about eleven days.

963
00:49:41,880 --> 00:49:43,680
Speaker 1: You got to eleven days. You're on the clock, John,

964
00:49:43,680 --> 00:49:45,560
Speaker 1: Hopefully we get it done. But appreciate you joining the

965
00:49:45,640 --> 00:49:48,239
Speaker 1: show and we'll talk to you soon. Be safe out there, man,

966
00:49:51,120 --> 00:49:53,680
Speaker 1: So man, Yeah, that's that's John McClean. General John McClean

967
00:49:54,000 --> 00:49:56,640
Speaker 1: joined us on s right the sixteen of Texans Training

968
00:49:56,680 --> 00:49:59,680
Speaker 1: Camp Special presented by Xfinity, and I tell you what

969
00:50:00,000 --> 00:50:02,839
Speaker 1: and Zach Cunningham getting a deal done. Now, I think

970
00:50:02,880 --> 00:50:05,719
Speaker 1: that's a It's a definitely a plus move by the

971
00:50:05,800 --> 00:50:09,600
Speaker 1: Texans being proactive on getting one of your young players locked.

972
00:50:09,640 --> 00:50:11,480
Speaker 1: The way, there's been guys that have gotten out of

973
00:50:11,520 --> 00:50:14,560
Speaker 1: this building that I was I was definitely disappointed about.

974
00:50:14,760 --> 00:50:16,400
Speaker 1: Jack Cunningham is one of those guys that I've been

975
00:50:16,440 --> 00:50:18,000
Speaker 1: standing on the table for the longest now like this

976
00:50:18,040 --> 00:50:19,239
Speaker 1: is the guy we need to get a deal done,

977
00:50:19,640 --> 00:50:22,000
Speaker 1: and they got it done. So I'm happy about that.

978
00:50:22,360 --> 00:50:24,160
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what we talked about it the other day.

979
00:50:24,200 --> 00:50:26,880
Speaker 1: I was on the show with Ron and show Hugli

980
00:50:27,000 --> 00:50:30,279
Speaker 1: was filling in for Clint Sterner when the hurricane was

981
00:50:30,320 --> 00:50:32,800
Speaker 1: in the path of Houston. We were talking about it

982
00:50:32,880 --> 00:50:34,719
Speaker 1: and Ron was saying, you know what, I feel like

983
00:50:34,840 --> 00:50:38,520
Speaker 1: that this move by the Texans that would be to

984
00:50:38,640 --> 00:50:41,080
Speaker 1: sign Zach Cunningham would be one of the best moves

985
00:50:41,120 --> 00:50:44,799
Speaker 1: that Bill O'Brien has made in his tenure as far

986
00:50:44,880 --> 00:50:47,720
Speaker 1: as locking up a big time player, a young player.

987
00:50:47,719 --> 00:50:50,680
Speaker 1: And so Tom would tell but I tend to agree

988
00:50:50,680 --> 00:50:53,040
Speaker 1: with him. I expect big things that a Zach Cunningham.

989
00:50:53,040 --> 00:50:54,719
Speaker 1: I expect them to have a big year this year,

990
00:50:55,200 --> 00:50:58,680
Speaker 1: and you look at the numbers at the linebacker position.

991
00:50:59,200 --> 00:51:03,080
Speaker 1: I mean, I know you asked John about this, about

992
00:51:03,120 --> 00:51:05,320
Speaker 1: the fact that but Narja McKinney he's making, you know,

993
00:51:05,480 --> 00:51:08,040
Speaker 1: ten million this year. When you look at what Whitney's

994
00:51:08,080 --> 00:51:09,840
Speaker 1: getting and what Zach is getting, now it looks like

995
00:51:09,880 --> 00:51:12,719
Speaker 1: but Narchi is actually somewhat of a bargain. Would you

996
00:51:12,840 --> 00:51:16,120
Speaker 1: have thought that when you initially just looked at the

997
00:51:16,280 --> 00:51:18,640
Speaker 1: deals that were getting done at the linebacker spot. No,

998
00:51:19,160 --> 00:51:22,360
Speaker 1: I was surprised looking at his deal. I guess annually

999
00:51:22,400 --> 00:51:25,200
Speaker 1: is getting about ten million a year for inside backer,

1000
00:51:25,280 --> 00:51:28,000
Speaker 1: and I'm thinking, okay, I'm thinking he's getting around what's

1001
00:51:28,040 --> 00:51:30,839
Speaker 1: Zach guy fourteen maybe thirteen prib somewhere in there. He's

1002
00:51:30,880 --> 00:51:32,759
Speaker 1: getting ten million a year and he's playing at the

1003
00:51:32,800 --> 00:51:34,600
Speaker 1: extremely high level. And that right there to me as

1004
00:51:34,640 --> 00:51:36,279
Speaker 1: a bargain so we can keep both those guys as

1005
00:51:36,320 --> 00:51:39,880
Speaker 1: long as possible together. I think they got great value

1006
00:51:40,000 --> 00:51:42,759
Speaker 1: for Zach Cunningham today. Now I think he's going to

1007
00:51:42,800 --> 00:51:45,759
Speaker 1: be a key piece, a key piece for this Texas defense. Yeah,

1008
00:51:45,760 --> 00:51:47,840
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what I mean. I wouldn't be surprised

1009
00:51:48,560 --> 00:51:52,799
Speaker 1: if there was something done with McKinney. Not this year,

1010
00:51:52,840 --> 00:51:55,960
Speaker 1: of course, but in the near future, just because it's

1011
00:51:56,000 --> 00:51:58,840
Speaker 1: still one position. You got about I don't know, somewhere

1012
00:51:58,880 --> 00:52:01,320
Speaker 1: around forty fifty million dollars locked up in or about

1013
00:52:01,320 --> 00:52:05,000
Speaker 1: about thirty five million dollars locked up between three guys. Yeah,

1014
00:52:05,360 --> 00:52:07,759
Speaker 1: that's that's that's a big number. Thirty eight million locked

1015
00:52:07,800 --> 00:52:10,239
Speaker 1: up between three guys, that's a big number. I don't

1016
00:52:10,320 --> 00:52:14,120
Speaker 1: I don't know, especially in John mcclaim mentioned a minute ago.

1017
00:52:14,160 --> 00:52:17,560
Speaker 1: The cap is going down next year, and so at

1018
00:52:17,640 --> 00:52:19,399
Speaker 1: best it's going to stay the same. I think that's

1019
00:52:19,400 --> 00:52:20,880
Speaker 1: what they worked out with the CBA to try to

1020
00:52:20,920 --> 00:52:22,800
Speaker 1: keep it the same. But the revenue is going to

1021
00:52:22,880 --> 00:52:25,520
Speaker 1: be nowhere near what it was supposed to be due

1022
00:52:25,560 --> 00:52:28,319
Speaker 1: to the coronavirus, due to the fact that the way

1023
00:52:28,400 --> 00:52:30,440
Speaker 1: that the CBA is set up between the players in

1024
00:52:30,520 --> 00:52:34,040
Speaker 1: the league is it's truly a revenue sharing situation, and

1025
00:52:34,120 --> 00:52:36,120
Speaker 1: the players get I believe it's forty eight point six

1026
00:52:36,320 --> 00:52:38,759
Speaker 1: forty eight point five percent of the revenues, and the

1027
00:52:38,840 --> 00:52:40,680
Speaker 1: revenues are going to be down across the board just

1028
00:52:40,719 --> 00:52:42,320
Speaker 1: because there's not going to be fans in the stands,

1029
00:52:42,360 --> 00:52:44,440
Speaker 1: and if they are, it's gonna be very limited amount.

1030
00:52:44,520 --> 00:52:47,080
Speaker 1: So I would be surprised. Like to me, this is

1031
00:52:47,120 --> 00:52:48,520
Speaker 1: for sure it will be the last year that all

1032
00:52:48,520 --> 00:52:51,000
Speaker 1: those three guys would be together. I wouldn't be surprised

1033
00:52:51,040 --> 00:52:52,960
Speaker 1: if they go in a different direction next year. So

1034
00:52:53,600 --> 00:52:55,600
Speaker 1: this is a big year for the Texans. Defense is

1035
00:52:55,600 --> 00:52:57,719
Speaker 1: a big year for those guys to see what they

1036
00:52:57,760 --> 00:53:00,720
Speaker 1: can make happen on it the first year offensive coordinate

1037
00:53:00,760 --> 00:53:04,320

Speaker 1: a Houston Chronicle. We just talked to John McClain about

1158
01:00:12,800 --> 01:00:15,280

1162
01:00:26,320 --> 01:00:29,040
Speaker 1: voice of the Texans. But before we get to Mark, Man,

1163
01:00:29,320 --> 01:00:31,320
Speaker 1: I just tell you what we were just looking over

1164
01:00:32,280 --> 01:00:37,000
Speaker 1: online about some of the costumes last year that Zach

1165
01:00:37,040 --> 01:00:41,880
Speaker 1: Cunningham was the catalyst behind putting putting together. Yeah, so

1166
01:00:41,960 --> 01:00:44,080
Speaker 1: we enterviewed him last year on the station, and you

1167
01:00:44,080 --> 01:00:46,040
Speaker 1: would he would be the last guy that you would

1168
01:00:46,080 --> 01:00:48,080
Speaker 1: think because he's so quiet. He really is not a

1169
01:00:48,120 --> 01:00:50,200
Speaker 1: guy that's looking forward to talking to the media, but

1170
01:00:50,360 --> 01:00:52,720
Speaker 1: he is. He's a creative dude behind the scenes. He

1171
01:00:53,080 --> 01:00:54,880
Speaker 1: you know, he's the one that comes up with the ideas.

1172
01:00:54,960 --> 01:00:57,600
Speaker 1: Last year, those guys are coming into the game days

1173
01:00:57,800 --> 01:01:02,080
Speaker 1: as a swat team as the average Joe's from dodge Ball,

1174
01:01:02,080 --> 01:01:05,000
Speaker 1: of from Ninja Turtles, more to Kombat. Like some of

1175
01:01:05,040 --> 01:01:06,760
Speaker 1: the stuff that he put out there, I felt like,

1176
01:01:06,880 --> 01:01:08,760
Speaker 1: like Zach klenning him must have an older brother or

1177
01:01:08,840 --> 01:01:11,000
Speaker 1: sister or something, because a lot of the stuff that

1178
01:01:11,040 --> 01:01:12,760
Speaker 1: he was putting out there was stuff that I could

1179
01:01:12,800 --> 01:01:15,960
Speaker 1: really identify with, stuff that I really enjoyed. And so,

1180
01:01:16,200 --> 01:01:18,480
Speaker 1: you know, I'm definitely much older than Zach cunning him,

1181
01:01:18,520 --> 01:01:20,400
Speaker 1: and so I was just like, man, either he's an

1182
01:01:20,440 --> 01:01:23,120
Speaker 1: old soul per se, or he has he has a

1183
01:01:23,160 --> 01:01:26,160
Speaker 1: sibling that can kind of help him, you know, recognize

1184
01:01:26,200 --> 01:01:29,000
Speaker 1: the greatness of more to Kombat than Ninja, Turtles and

1185
01:01:29,360 --> 01:01:32,280
Speaker 1: and Dodgeballs, Space Jam, you know what I mean? Like

1186
01:01:32,640 --> 01:01:34,360
Speaker 1: I mean, he wasn't He probably wasn't. Was he even

1187
01:01:34,400 --> 01:01:36,760
Speaker 1: alive when Space Jam came out? Space came out when

1188
01:01:36,800 --> 01:01:39,000
Speaker 1: he was young. I don't even know text that in

1189
01:01:39,000 --> 01:01:41,320
Speaker 1: seven one, five, seven two, four sixt In what year

1190
01:01:41,680 --> 01:01:44,080
Speaker 1: did Space Jams pop out? I'm not gonna google that

1191
01:01:44,160 --> 01:01:45,960
Speaker 1: because I know my text line to show out for me,

1192
01:01:46,040 --> 01:01:48,280
Speaker 1: Ocho might be the first one to pop in. But

1193
01:01:48,920 --> 01:01:53,720
Speaker 1: I tell you what, man like that creativity. It's fun

1194
01:01:53,800 --> 01:01:56,400
Speaker 1: to watch a lot of people. When the Texans would lose,

1195
01:01:57,160 --> 01:02:00,560
Speaker 1: the people would be like, oh man, they're not play

1196
01:02:00,960 --> 01:02:03,640
Speaker 1: But for the most part, when they was doing these costumes,

1197
01:02:03,680 --> 01:02:05,080
Speaker 1: I don't know what the record ended up being, but

1198
01:02:05,120 --> 01:02:07,560
Speaker 1: I think I think they were like five and three,

1199
01:02:07,680 --> 01:02:09,600
Speaker 1: six and two or something like that when they brought

1200
01:02:10,040 --> 01:02:12,160
Speaker 1: the whatever it was. They were like three or four

1201
01:02:12,200 --> 01:02:14,880
Speaker 1: games above five hundred when they were the costume. So

1202
01:02:14,960 --> 01:02:17,320
Speaker 1: I was a fan just because it was showing creativity

1203
01:02:17,360 --> 01:02:20,280
Speaker 1: and those guys were together and doing something. I liked

1204
01:02:20,320 --> 01:02:22,160
Speaker 1: that and it was it was it was interesting, but

1205
01:02:23,000 --> 01:02:26,200
Speaker 1: uh yeah they caught some heat when when you would

1206
01:02:26,280 --> 01:02:29,280
Speaker 1: catch that ill. But that's the part for the course.

1207
01:02:29,640 --> 01:02:31,320
Speaker 1: It makes it fun, you know, it's something for the

1208
01:02:31,360 --> 01:02:33,760
Speaker 1: guys to look forward to. Was something that, like you said,

1209
01:02:33,760 --> 01:02:36,360
Speaker 1: they can show that creative aside and it's something nobody

1210
01:02:36,360 --> 01:02:38,240
Speaker 1: else was doing in the league. So it was just

1211
01:02:38,400 --> 01:02:40,400
Speaker 1: the Texans, if I'm not mistaken. It was just them

1212
01:02:40,520 --> 01:02:43,240
Speaker 1: doing it this the linebackers here and it's creative against

1213
01:02:43,280 --> 01:02:45,640
Speaker 1: them talking about each other. So and I like the

1214
01:02:45,680 --> 01:02:48,160
Speaker 1: different styles they had. Space Jam probably is my favorite.

1215
01:02:48,680 --> 01:02:50,520
Speaker 1: This the tune Squad. I grew up watching that, but

1216
01:02:50,640 --> 01:02:52,720
Speaker 1: it was it was dope in my opinion, no question

1217
01:02:52,760 --> 01:02:56,720
Speaker 1: about it. We're now being joined by Texans voice Mark

1218

01:02:59,360 --> 01:03:02,240
Speaker 1: on this Sunday afternoon and what is your initial thoughts

1220
01:03:02,840 --> 01:03:06,600
Speaker 1: on this new deal by Zach Cunningham. Well, I was

1221
01:03:06,640 --> 01:03:08,320
Speaker 1: just hoping they could get it done. You know, there's

1222
01:03:08,320 --> 01:03:12,800
Speaker 1: an old saying in sales, sold is one hundred percent unsold,

1223
01:03:13,080 --> 01:03:15,920
Speaker 1: So still have to get Watson done. But you got

1224
01:03:16,000 --> 01:03:19,800
Speaker 1: Cunningham done, and Laramie got done earlier in the offseason,

1225
01:03:20,040 --> 01:03:21,760
Speaker 1: and I was kind of sweating that one out a

1226
01:03:21,880 --> 01:03:23,960
Speaker 1: little bit, you know, I thought, Wow, what if Laramie

1227
01:03:24,000 --> 01:03:26,880
Speaker 1: doesn't sign and then you traded what you did for him,

1228
01:03:26,920 --> 01:03:28,880
Speaker 1: and you know what's gonna happen in the future. So

1229
01:03:29,000 --> 01:03:31,760
Speaker 1: I was so happy they got him done. Cunningham. When

1230
01:03:31,800 --> 01:03:34,680
Speaker 1: you look at Cunningham and McKinney in the middle, especially

1231
01:03:34,720 --> 01:03:37,920
Speaker 1: with Cunningham being more than a run defender, you know,

1232
01:03:38,040 --> 01:03:41,280
Speaker 1: he's a multiple stopper. He can stop you in a

1233
01:03:41,400 --> 01:03:44,840
Speaker 1: variety of ways. He can cover. He's made some big hits,

1234
01:03:44,920 --> 01:03:48,280
Speaker 1: big stops for this football team. Very well dressed, as

1235
01:03:48,320 --> 01:03:51,439
Speaker 1: you said, but that's secondary. I really like it, guys.

1236
01:03:51,480 --> 01:03:53,680
Speaker 1: I think this is one of those Texans for Life

1237
01:03:53,800 --> 01:03:56,400
Speaker 1: kind of guys or Texan for life kind of guys

1238
01:03:56,640 --> 01:03:59,080
Speaker 1: that you just want around, you want on your football team.

1239
01:03:59,520 --> 01:04:02,959
Speaker 1: He might, you know, have the Zach Cunningham Show every week. Okay,

1240
01:04:03,040 --> 01:04:05,640
Speaker 1: he's not gonna he's not gonna dazzle you on the

1241
01:04:05,720 --> 01:04:08,200
Speaker 1: airwaves necessarily. I think he can. You know, we've had

1242
01:04:08,200 --> 01:04:10,200
Speaker 1: some really good interviews with him, but he prefers to

1243
01:04:10,280 --> 01:04:13,600
Speaker 1: be quiet in that way. He prefers to let his

1244
01:04:13,880 --> 01:04:16,120
Speaker 1: wardrobe to the talking a little bit more. Maybe at

1245
01:04:16,160 --> 01:04:18,960
Speaker 1: his play do the most talking, But I'm very glad.

1246
01:04:19,000 --> 01:04:21,160
Speaker 1: I mean, I think when you can lock up players

1247
01:04:21,280 --> 01:04:23,560
Speaker 1: like this, it just helps your football team. They always

1248
01:04:23,600 --> 01:04:25,280
Speaker 1: say it, you know, they want to have the guys

1249
01:04:25,360 --> 01:04:30,760
Speaker 1: around who exemplify the dependable, tough, smart acronym that they

1250
01:04:30,840 --> 01:04:33,640
Speaker 1: have going. And he's one of them, for sure. That's

1251
01:04:33,640 --> 01:04:37,120
Speaker 1: awesome lad league in tackles last year, definitely him and

1252
01:04:37,240 --> 01:04:40,120
Speaker 1: McKinney one of the better duos in the league of

1253
01:04:40,560 --> 01:04:43,000
Speaker 1: linebackers for sure. Talk about the scrimmage on Thursday, What

1254
01:04:43,320 --> 01:04:46,440
Speaker 1: were your thoughts? How did you enjoy it? And then

1255
01:04:46,520 --> 01:04:48,640
Speaker 1: how are the players? How did they react to it?

1256
01:04:48,760 --> 01:04:50,760
Speaker 1: How did they take it today? Take it seriously? Was

1257
01:04:50,800 --> 01:04:53,000
Speaker 1: it fun for him to talk about that a little bit? Well,

1258
01:04:53,040 --> 01:04:54,960
Speaker 1: I think being in the building, guys you know this.

1259
01:04:55,160 --> 01:04:57,880
Speaker 1: I mean, can you imagine not having been through a

1260
01:04:58,000 --> 01:05:00,480
Speaker 1: game day experience, even if you don't play much in

1261
01:05:00,480 --> 01:05:03,680
Speaker 1: a preseason game, there's just something about the warm up,

1262
01:05:03,800 --> 01:05:07,040
Speaker 1: you know. I think people take for granted how choreographed

1263
01:05:07,080 --> 01:05:09,920
Speaker 1: the warm up is and going into the locker room

1264
01:05:09,960 --> 01:05:12,240
Speaker 1: then coming back out being introduced all of it in

1265
01:05:12,320 --> 01:05:15,040
Speaker 1: a preseason format, even if you don't play much. Well,

1266
01:05:15,360 --> 01:05:17,680
Speaker 1: they hadn't had any of that, all right, And here

1267
01:05:17,720 --> 01:05:20,280
Speaker 1: we are in preseason week three as of Thursday night,

1268
01:05:20,640 --> 01:05:23,400
Speaker 1: and it was finally time to take the field. And

1269
01:05:23,760 --> 01:05:26,080
Speaker 1: I didn't really think that much of it going in.

1270
01:05:26,960 --> 01:05:29,200
Speaker 1: I thought, all right, here we go scrimmage and other practice.

1271
01:05:29,200 --> 01:05:31,280
Speaker 1: It'll be good, let's go check it out. But there

1272
01:05:31,440 --> 01:05:34,000
Speaker 1: was just something about being at the stadium at night,

1273
01:05:34,240 --> 01:05:37,960
Speaker 1: lights on music thumping. I just felt the vibe. And

1274
01:05:38,960 --> 01:05:42,040
Speaker 1: I probably gush about things like this way too much,

1275
01:05:42,120 --> 01:05:45,000
Speaker 1: but look, this is sports, this is fun, it's entertainment.

1276
01:05:45,280 --> 01:05:47,800
Speaker 1: And I was entertained just the beginning of it, just

1277
01:05:47,920 --> 01:05:51,520
Speaker 1: being around these guys, seeing them on the football field.

1278
01:05:51,720 --> 01:05:54,760
Speaker 1: And then when they got to playing, you saw Deshaun

1279
01:05:54,840 --> 01:05:57,840
Speaker 1: Watson able to do what Deshaun Watson does in this offense,

1280
01:05:57,920 --> 01:06:01,080
Speaker 1: which has hit multiple receiver, They have a lot of

1281
01:06:01,160 --> 01:06:03,439
Speaker 1: different looks they can throw at you. We saw all

1282
01:06:03,600 --> 01:06:07,360
Speaker 1: of that kind of stuff and they quickly dialed it down.

1283
01:06:07,400 --> 01:06:11,240
Speaker 1: It reminded me of maybe a first preseason game kind

1284
01:06:11,360 --> 01:06:14,120
Speaker 1: of thing where you saw the arsenal for a while

1285
01:06:14,320 --> 01:06:16,680
Speaker 1: or for you know, for a taste, and then they

1286
01:06:16,720 --> 01:06:19,040
Speaker 1: started putting other guys in you see Chad Hanson. Not

1287
01:06:19,120 --> 01:06:21,240
Speaker 1: to take anything away from Chad, but I don't anticipate

1288
01:06:21,320 --> 01:06:23,320
Speaker 1: Chad being one of your top two receivers out there

1289
01:06:23,360 --> 01:06:27,120
Speaker 1: when you play against the Kansas City Chiefs. So they

1290
01:06:27,200 --> 01:06:29,320
Speaker 1: went into the depth chart, even with Watson still in

1291
01:06:29,360 --> 01:06:31,800
Speaker 1: the game a little bit. And I think that it

1292
01:06:31,920 --> 01:06:35,160
Speaker 1: was interesting to go ones against the twos on both sides,

1293
01:06:35,280 --> 01:06:38,840
Speaker 1: right the defense ones facing the offense twos and vice versa.

1294
01:06:39,240 --> 01:06:41,480
Speaker 1: Just to give yourselves And I didn't talk to Bill

1295
01:06:41,520 --> 01:06:43,720
Speaker 1: O'Brien about this, but my gut is just to give

1296
01:06:43,760 --> 01:06:46,760
Speaker 1: them a different look, different people. You know, different guys

1297
01:06:46,840 --> 01:06:49,920
Speaker 1: you're going up against, and you guys have been through

1298
01:06:49,920 --> 01:06:52,160
Speaker 1: all that kind of stuff. So I really enjoyed being

1299
01:06:52,240 --> 01:06:54,280
Speaker 1: in there, and I know they'll do it one more time.

1300
01:06:54,320 --> 01:06:55,960
Speaker 1: I don't think they'll have the media there for this

1301
01:06:56,160 --> 01:06:58,040
Speaker 1: next one, that it'll be more of a dress rehearsal

1302
01:06:58,120 --> 01:07:01,560
Speaker 1: for opening night, but these things are absolutely necessary before

1303
01:07:01,600 --> 01:07:03,760
Speaker 1: you take on the chief September tenth, Mark who was

1304
01:07:03,840 --> 01:07:05,640
Speaker 1: some of those guys that you know, And I like

1305
01:07:05,800 --> 01:07:07,200
Speaker 1: the way that they did that where you had the

1306
01:07:07,240 --> 01:07:09,800
Speaker 1: ones versus the twos, but to me, it puts the

1307
01:07:09,840 --> 01:07:11,760
Speaker 1: twos in a position to where if they can actually

1308
01:07:11,800 --> 01:07:13,640
Speaker 1: go out there and make some plays as a two

1309
01:07:13,680 --> 01:07:16,480
Speaker 1: against the starting group, that that that that makes you

1310
01:07:16,760 --> 01:07:18,480
Speaker 1: there's going to give them more confidence, but it gives

1311
01:07:18,520 --> 01:07:20,120
Speaker 1: the team confidence that they can go out there and

1312
01:07:20,200 --> 01:07:22,320
Speaker 1: do it on a Sunday when they when they might

1313
01:07:22,400 --> 01:07:25,200
Speaker 1: possibly be needed. Were there any guys that stood out

1314
01:07:25,240 --> 01:07:27,000
Speaker 1: to you in the scrimmage that were there were twos

1315
01:07:27,040 --> 01:07:29,800
Speaker 1: going against starters that actually either held their own but

1316
01:07:30,080 --> 01:07:32,479
Speaker 1: or made plays that said made you think like, oh, okay,

1317
01:07:32,480 --> 01:07:35,280
Speaker 1: this is somebody that we actually can ride with. Well.

1318
01:07:35,400 --> 01:07:37,320
Speaker 1: A J. Moore looked like a one to me. Okay,

1319
01:07:37,400 --> 01:07:38,880
Speaker 1: he looked like the kind of guy that you could

1320
01:07:38,920 --> 01:07:41,480
Speaker 1: play guts of the game's safety snaps and feel very

1321
01:07:41,520 --> 01:07:43,400
Speaker 1: good about it. You know. And I know that Murray's

1322
01:07:43,400 --> 01:07:45,240
Speaker 1: been having a nice camp and everything. They've said good

1323
01:07:45,280 --> 01:07:47,960
Speaker 1: things about him, but you know, there's no butt really,

1324
01:07:47,960 --> 01:07:50,640
Speaker 1: I mean, Murray has done that and A. J. Moore

1325
01:07:50,880 --> 01:07:53,360
Speaker 1: has looked good. I mean, he really made some nice

1326
01:07:53,440 --> 01:07:56,160
Speaker 1: plays in the scrimmage on Thursday night. I would put

1327
01:07:56,280 --> 01:07:59,000
Speaker 1: him in that group. Johnny has talked about Chad Hanson

1328
01:07:59,080 --> 01:08:00,680
Speaker 1: a bunch, and you know, we were out with Watson

1329
01:08:00,720 --> 01:08:02,840
Speaker 1: in the offseason. We've talked about him this camp, but

1330
01:08:03,200 --> 01:08:07,040
Speaker 1: he continues to look good out there as a wide receiver.

1331
01:08:07,360 --> 01:08:09,400
Speaker 1: I can't evaluate line play, and I don't know how

1332
01:08:09,440 --> 01:08:12,400
Speaker 1: you guys feel, but one thing I can't really evaluate,

1333
01:08:12,480 --> 01:08:14,480
Speaker 1: and maybe they feel the same way as coaches and

1334
01:08:14,880 --> 01:08:18,880
Speaker 1: players alike. It's the run game. Is it good? Is

1335
01:08:18,920 --> 01:08:21,000
Speaker 1: it not good? Is your run defense good? Is your

1336
01:08:21,040 --> 01:08:23,800
Speaker 1: run defense porus? You know, you can't tell out there

1337
01:08:23,960 --> 01:08:27,920
Speaker 1: unless you're really going for the win. You know, I

1338
01:08:28,080 --> 01:08:31,880
Speaker 1: like it at too boxers. Right, if you're sparring, you

1339
01:08:31,960 --> 01:08:33,920
Speaker 1: know you're not gonna you know, you're not earning the

1340
01:08:33,960 --> 01:08:38,240
Speaker 1: paycheck and the sparring session, right, You're not. That's it's

1341
01:08:38,280 --> 01:08:41,240
Speaker 1: not a gotta have it kind of thing, a sparring session,

1342
01:08:42,000 --> 01:08:44,920
Speaker 1: And I think the same thing applies with football. Right

1343
01:08:44,960 --> 01:08:49,160
Speaker 1: when you're practicing your run game against your teammates on defense,

1344
01:08:49,520 --> 01:08:52,160
Speaker 1: you know, how how much oom are you gonna put

1345
01:08:52,200 --> 01:08:55,000
Speaker 1: into it? Wade? You know, how how are you going

1346
01:08:55,120 --> 01:08:57,760
Speaker 1: to you know, level the other guy that you have

1347
01:08:57,920 --> 01:09:00,519
Speaker 1: to level in order to get some gain on the ground.

1348
01:09:00,720 --> 01:09:02,439
Speaker 1: And the same thing applies to the defense. You know,

1349
01:09:02,439 --> 01:09:04,000
Speaker 1: how much are you putting into a tackle where you

1350
01:09:04,040 --> 01:09:06,600
Speaker 1: can't really tackle stud it's wrap up, it's whatever. So

1351
01:09:06,880 --> 01:09:09,439
Speaker 1: I can't tell. I assume they're gonna run the ball

1352
01:09:09,439 --> 01:09:12,280
Speaker 1: pretty well because they always do. I can't tell if

1353
01:09:12,280 --> 01:09:14,400
Speaker 1: the run defense is a lot better because of what

1354
01:09:14,520 --> 01:09:16,800
Speaker 1: I just described. What are your thoughts on that weight

1355
01:09:16,880 --> 01:09:18,680
Speaker 1: as I say that? So this is the thing, man,

1356
01:09:18,840 --> 01:09:22,320
Speaker 1: You're you're going to see a night and day difference

1357
01:09:22,439 --> 01:09:26,840
Speaker 1: between the intensity and finish out of guys and what

1358
01:09:26,920 --> 01:09:29,360
Speaker 1: you're gonna see at a from from going from a

1359
01:09:29,400 --> 01:09:34,599
Speaker 1: scrimmage at NRG to playing opening night at Arrowheads Stadium.

1360
01:09:35,040 --> 01:09:37,919
Speaker 1: Up front, the trenches are gonna get a lot nastier.

1361
01:09:38,000 --> 01:09:40,639
Speaker 1: There's gonna be guys finishing blocks, there's gonna be cut blocks,

1362
01:09:40,680 --> 01:09:43,120
Speaker 1: there's gonna be things going on that you would never

1363
01:09:43,320 --> 01:09:46,560
Speaker 1: do in practice. And so the thing that makes you

1364
01:09:46,640 --> 01:09:49,280
Speaker 1: have a little bit of concern is because they haven't

1365
01:09:49,320 --> 01:09:55,000
Speaker 1: done anything live at all this preseason. The double team

1366
01:09:55,080 --> 01:09:57,360
Speaker 1: blocks getting up to the second letter level, and the

1367
01:09:57,520 --> 01:09:59,840
Speaker 1: timing of the running backs. You got a new running

1368
01:09:59,840 --> 01:10:02,080
Speaker 1: back and David Johnson. You know, Duke has been with

1369
01:10:02,200 --> 01:10:04,840
Speaker 1: this group before. He knows, he knows his guys in

1370
01:10:04,880 --> 01:10:06,160
Speaker 1: front of him. So I don't think it would be

1371
01:10:06,160 --> 01:10:08,719
Speaker 1: as big of an issue early on with Duke Johnson

1372
01:10:08,800 --> 01:10:10,720
Speaker 1: at all. I think it'll just be old hat with him.

1373
01:10:10,760 --> 01:10:13,120
Speaker 1: But with David Johnson, it's a new running back. The

1374
01:10:13,240 --> 01:10:16,759
Speaker 1: timing is with different offensive lines and different running schemes,

1375
01:10:16,960 --> 01:10:19,479
Speaker 1: timing is just a little bit different. And so that's

1376
01:10:19,560 --> 01:10:21,880
Speaker 1: something that that you know it's gonna be a little

1377
01:10:21,920 --> 01:10:25,240
Speaker 1: bit different on Thursday than which you would get in

1378
01:10:25,360 --> 01:10:28,479
Speaker 1: a scrimmage. And it might be for the good because

1379
01:10:28,720 --> 01:10:31,840
Speaker 1: David Johnson has looked very good in the preseason so

1380
01:10:31,960 --> 01:10:34,800
Speaker 1: far in this training camp. But at the same time,

1381
01:10:35,200 --> 01:10:37,280
Speaker 1: when those double teams hit in the game, if they're

1382
01:10:37,320 --> 01:10:39,120
Speaker 1: good double teams and they're getting to the second level,

1383
01:10:39,200 --> 01:10:41,200
Speaker 1: those holes might be a little bit bigger than what

1384
01:10:41,400 --> 01:10:44,160
Speaker 1: David Johnson might be used to getting in practice. And

1385
01:10:44,240 --> 01:10:45,960
Speaker 1: so you would hope it's that way, but it wouldn't

1386
01:10:45,960 --> 01:10:47,680
Speaker 1: surprise me one bit if it went the other way,

1387
01:10:47,760 --> 01:10:50,920
Speaker 1: because timing is critical and key when you're talking about

1388
01:10:51,040 --> 01:10:53,120
Speaker 1: a Baptist has to use his vision and making sure

1389
01:10:53,120 --> 01:10:55,320
Speaker 1: he's getting foot in the ground and hitting the hole,

1390
01:10:55,760 --> 01:10:58,280
Speaker 1: and so you know, until you do it full speed,

1391
01:10:58,479 --> 01:11:01,000
Speaker 1: you just don't know how it's going to work out.

1392
01:11:01,360 --> 01:11:05,280
Speaker 1: Up front. Yeah, I can imagine, because don't people always

1393
01:11:05,360 --> 01:11:09,160
Speaker 1: say that even with preseason reps and joint practice reps,

1394
01:11:09,640 --> 01:11:11,720
Speaker 1: when you get into the regular season, it takes three

1395
01:11:11,840 --> 01:11:14,000
Speaker 1: four games to really know what you've got with the

1396
01:11:14,120 --> 01:11:16,880
Speaker 1: offensive line, until you guys really get into rhythm. I

1397
01:11:16,960 --> 01:11:19,800
Speaker 1: think the offensive line is you know, we talk about it.

1398
01:11:19,880 --> 01:11:22,519
Speaker 1: It might not be the most sexy thing to discuss

1399
01:11:22,600 --> 01:11:25,560
Speaker 1: in sports talk radio, but there's so much to it.

1400
01:11:25,720 --> 01:11:28,000
Speaker 1: I remember Dwayne telling me it took them three or

1401
01:11:28,040 --> 01:11:30,960
Speaker 1: four years to figure things out. And you know, Wade,

1402
01:11:31,000 --> 01:11:33,559
Speaker 1: I know your experience. You know, played a dozen years

1403
01:11:33,600 --> 01:11:36,080
Speaker 1: in this league, multiple positions on the old line. It

1404
01:11:36,280 --> 01:11:39,280
Speaker 1: is so technical. There's so much to it, and it

1405
01:11:39,400 --> 01:11:41,519
Speaker 1: doesn't exactly end up on Sports Center in the top

1406
01:11:41,600 --> 01:11:44,600
Speaker 1: ten right. When you guys do your thing properly, you

1407
01:11:44,680 --> 01:11:46,439
Speaker 1: might see the results of that, but you don't see

1408
01:11:46,520 --> 01:11:49,880
Speaker 1: look at a footwork of the left yard on this play, unbelievable.

1409
01:11:50,080 --> 01:11:51,880
Speaker 1: You know you don't see stuff like that. Hey, Mark,

1410
01:11:51,920 --> 01:11:54,040
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what. It gets real sexy looking when

1411
01:11:54,160 --> 01:11:57,040
Speaker 1: the offensive line does their job and you're seeing Cook's

1412
01:11:57,080 --> 01:12:00,200
Speaker 1: catching touchdown passes and full of catching touchdown passes and

1413
01:12:00,320 --> 01:12:02,719
Speaker 1: Deshan sitting back there patting the ball looking for people

1414
01:12:02,760 --> 01:12:05,680
Speaker 1: that are opened downfield, and the Johnson brothers hitting the hole.

1415
01:12:05,840 --> 01:12:07,960
Speaker 1: It starts to get real sexy then. But yeah, talking

1416
01:12:08,000 --> 01:12:10,920
Speaker 1: about what we do in the mushroom society, it ain't

1417
01:12:11,040 --> 01:12:13,080
Speaker 1: much room. It's it's not it's not for the fan

1418
01:12:13,160 --> 01:12:14,519
Speaker 1: of heart. It gets a little it gets a little

1419
01:12:14,560 --> 01:12:16,080
Speaker 1: griming down there, and that's not We love it. That's

1420
01:12:16,080 --> 01:12:17,720
Speaker 1: how we're like it. Man, Well what do you make

1421
01:12:17,800 --> 01:12:20,000
Speaker 1: of They have this yeah dog? Have you heard this?

1422
01:12:20,160 --> 01:12:23,439
Speaker 1: So whenever one of them doesn't interview, they have to

1423
01:12:23,560 --> 01:12:27,040
Speaker 1: say yeah dog right at the start of it somewhere

1424
01:12:27,720 --> 01:12:30,080
Speaker 1: to avoid the fine. So they've come up with a

1425
01:12:30,200 --> 01:12:33,800
Speaker 1: loophole to avoid fines by going yeah dog. That's their

1426
01:12:33,840 --> 01:12:36,639
Speaker 1: sort of code. Yeah, they get yeah dog out there.

1427
01:12:36,920 --> 01:12:39,720
Speaker 1: The publicity of such a phrase, Uh, they don't have

1428
01:12:39,800 --> 01:12:41,439
Speaker 1: to pay the fine. I tell you what, as the

1429
01:12:41,560 --> 01:12:43,920
Speaker 1: former judge of the offensive line of my four year

1430
01:12:43,960 --> 01:12:45,800
Speaker 1: here with the Texans, I would have never allowed a

1431
01:12:45,880 --> 01:12:48,280
Speaker 1: rule like that to come into place. I'm not mad

1432
01:12:48,320 --> 01:12:50,280
Speaker 1: at that rule. If you if you can figure out

1433
01:12:50,360 --> 01:12:52,479
Speaker 1: a way to get out of saving yourself some money

1434
01:12:52,520 --> 01:12:54,800
Speaker 1: and keep yourself from getting fined by because we had

1435
01:12:54,840 --> 01:12:57,519
Speaker 1: a we had a fine system within the offensive line,

1436
01:12:57,680 --> 01:13:01,080
Speaker 1: and I know with devil explain and we gotta get

1437
01:13:01,120 --> 01:13:03,280
Speaker 1: we're up against it. I can we can talk. We

Speaker 1: the voice of the Houston Texans, Mark Vandermere, on the

1538
01:18:54,720 --> 01:18:57,080
Speaker 1: line with us right now, and we were talking about

1539
01:18:57,120 --> 01:19:00,439
Speaker 1: it before the break. Cecil asked the question. He wanted

1540
01:19:00,479 --> 01:19:05,320
Speaker 1: to get a kind of an insight on the offensive

1541
01:19:05,479 --> 01:19:08,680
Speaker 1: line room and how the fine schedule works and how

1542
01:19:08,760 --> 01:19:12,280
Speaker 1: it's set up. And when I was with the Texans,

1543
01:19:13,000 --> 01:19:15,400
Speaker 1: it was already in place. It started way back in

1544
01:19:15,439 --> 01:19:19,400
Speaker 1: the day with the Denver Broncos, back in the Shanahan

1545
01:19:19,600 --> 01:19:22,760
Speaker 1: and and Uh Kubiak days when they were back winning

1546
01:19:22,800 --> 01:19:25,519
Speaker 1: Super Bowls, back with John Elway and those guys. It

1547
01:19:25,600 --> 01:19:29,920
Speaker 1: started back then. It traveled down traditionally, U through through

1548
01:19:30,000 --> 01:19:33,760
Speaker 1: different various teams, and by the time I got here,

1549
01:19:34,080 --> 01:19:35,920
Speaker 1: you know, there was a vote and I was voted

1550
01:19:36,000 --> 01:19:39,400
Speaker 1: as the judge. And when when Mark brought When Mark

1551
01:19:39,439 --> 01:19:41,679
Speaker 1: brought up. The whole idea of these guys just saying

1552
01:19:41,720 --> 01:19:44,280
Speaker 1: how did to do is say yeah, dog to get

1553
01:19:44,320 --> 01:19:47,920
Speaker 1: out of paying a fine. As a judge, my job

1554
01:19:48,040 --> 01:19:49,800
Speaker 1: was to try to get the numbers up with the

1555
01:19:49,920 --> 01:19:53,080
Speaker 1: money so that we could use it at some point

1556
01:19:53,600 --> 01:19:55,320
Speaker 1: at the end of the season, Like after the seasons off,

1557
01:19:55,360 --> 01:19:56,840
Speaker 1: we go on an old line trip. We would go

1558
01:19:56,880 --> 01:19:58,840
Speaker 1: to Vegas sometimes depending on what team you're on. And

1559
01:19:58,920 --> 01:20:01,200
Speaker 1: this is this is something very common around the NFL

1560
01:20:01,320 --> 01:20:04,599
Speaker 1: to offensive linement. They'll have a fine schedule to where

1561
01:20:04,960 --> 01:20:07,599
Speaker 1: you could get fined for passing gas in the meeting.

1562
01:20:07,720 --> 01:20:10,840
Speaker 1: You can get fined for can class if you if

1563
01:20:10,880 --> 01:20:13,080
Speaker 1: you make a play on film or you make a

1564
01:20:13,160 --> 01:20:15,600
Speaker 1: mistake and you clap your hands that all attach you

1565
01:20:15,760 --> 01:20:18,280
Speaker 1: you know X amount of dollars and so you know

1566
01:20:18,880 --> 01:20:21,000
Speaker 1: it could be anything from that too. If you're late

1567
01:20:21,040 --> 01:20:24,920
Speaker 1: to a meeting, contract conduct detrimental to the team. And

1568
01:20:25,120 --> 01:20:28,360
Speaker 1: this is not talking about like you know, macro level.

1569
01:20:28,800 --> 01:20:31,040
Speaker 1: You know you might get you might get fired by

1570
01:20:31,080 --> 01:20:33,120
Speaker 1: the team because you did something bad. It's hey, you

1571
01:20:33,320 --> 01:20:36,559
Speaker 1: did something that was conduct detrimental to the offensive line

1572
01:20:36,600 --> 01:20:40,360
Speaker 1: in our brand, and so you get fined. And so

1573
01:20:40,800 --> 01:20:43,400
Speaker 1: I just found it interesting that, you know, those guys

1574
01:20:43,479 --> 01:20:45,880
Speaker 1: figured out a way to beat the system if you

1575
01:20:45,960 --> 01:20:47,519
Speaker 1: just if you do, because you would get fined for

1576
01:20:47,600 --> 01:20:51,439
Speaker 1: doing media interviews like Duwayne Brown hasn't had his own show,

1577
01:20:51,920 --> 01:20:54,120
Speaker 1: And we figured out a text like we were like

1578
01:20:54,240 --> 01:20:57,320
Speaker 1: the government, we taxed you if he made five hundred

1579
01:20:57,360 --> 01:21:01,240
Speaker 1: dollars a show, we got you know, twenty five percent,

1580
01:21:01,760 --> 01:21:03,479
Speaker 1: and that went to the to the to the group.

1581
01:21:05,080 --> 01:21:06,720
Speaker 1: That's what we did. So I just I thought that

1582
01:21:06,880 --> 01:21:08,800
Speaker 1: was interesting that these guys came up with a way

1583
01:21:08,840 --> 01:21:10,920
Speaker 1: to get out of having to pay that fine and

1584
01:21:11,040 --> 01:21:13,479
Speaker 1: just start the thing with yeah dog, just because you

1585
01:21:13,600 --> 01:21:15,960
Speaker 1: told me that, Mark, We're gonna have to make sure

1586
01:21:16,000 --> 01:21:21,519
Speaker 1: we interview as many offensive line as possible season just

1587
01:21:21,680 --> 01:21:24,400
Speaker 1: so we can hear the yeah dog m on there.

1588
01:21:24,439 --> 01:21:27,600
Speaker 1: And and Deviling is the offensive line coach there. He

1589
01:21:27,720 --> 01:21:29,920
Speaker 1: was the offensive line coach or assistant coach when I

1590
01:21:30,040 --> 01:21:32,360
Speaker 1: was in with the Jets, and we had a legitimate

1591
01:21:32,479 --> 01:21:37,160
Speaker 1: fine board there too. Devon was actually on the fine schedule.

1592
01:21:37,200 --> 01:21:39,280
Speaker 1: You know, there's different fines that they come up with.

1593
01:21:39,360 --> 01:21:41,759
Speaker 1: Like I said, it could be for passing gas whatever.

1594
01:21:42,200 --> 01:21:44,120
Speaker 1: Devlin he had a final and I actually have this

1595
01:21:44,200 --> 01:21:46,000
Speaker 1: piece of paper at my house. I was going through

1596
01:21:46,080 --> 01:21:49,080
Speaker 1: some old playbooks and stuff and old like notes that

1597
01:21:49,160 --> 01:21:51,080
Speaker 1: I had taken from various teams, and I just happened

1598
01:21:51,120 --> 01:21:52,880
Speaker 1: to seem like, oh, this is the fine schedule when

1599
01:21:52,880 --> 01:21:54,920
Speaker 1: I was with the Jets in two thousand and seven,

1600
01:21:55,240 --> 01:21:58,280
Speaker 1: and look on their Devil and it says if Devlin

1601
01:21:58,439 --> 01:22:00,519
Speaker 1: stands up in front of the group lifts up his

1602
01:22:00,640 --> 01:22:03,479
Speaker 1: shirt and rubs scratches his belly so that we can

1603
01:22:03,560 --> 01:22:07,720
Speaker 1: see it, it costs Devlin fifty bucks. So we were

1604
01:22:07,840 --> 01:22:11,120
Speaker 1: finding that he did a lot. It had to be

1605
01:22:11,200 --> 01:22:13,880
Speaker 1: all actually need to be something on the board, but

1606
01:22:14,000 --> 01:22:15,880
Speaker 1: the fact that he was a good sport about that,

1607
01:22:16,160 --> 01:22:18,879
Speaker 1: it's understandable that those guys do have to find schedules

1608
01:22:18,880 --> 01:22:21,320
Speaker 1: still and the tradition is still going in and that's

1609
01:22:21,400 --> 01:22:23,600
Speaker 1: that's good to hear. And is this information that you

1610
01:22:23,680 --> 01:22:25,559
Speaker 1: were privy two Mark? Is this something that you knew

1611
01:22:25,560 --> 01:22:28,040
Speaker 1: about or are you learning on learning about this as

1612
01:22:28,080 --> 01:22:31,040
Speaker 1: we go. I didn't know that it was a percentage

1613
01:22:31,120 --> 01:22:33,479
Speaker 1: on show fee, because you know, we did that show

1614
01:22:33,560 --> 01:22:36,360
Speaker 1: with Twayne for I don't know, three maybe four years,

1615
01:22:36,880 --> 01:22:39,240
Speaker 1: so he was giving you guys a lot of money

1616
01:22:39,280 --> 01:22:42,719
Speaker 1: for that. He was negotiating a nice rate for himself

1617
01:22:42,760 --> 01:22:44,840
Speaker 1: of that show just to pay the Old Line tax,

1618
01:22:45,200 --> 01:22:47,800
Speaker 1: no question, And the first year the tax wasn't there.

1619
01:22:47,880 --> 01:22:49,880
Speaker 1: But as the judge, I had to make sure that

1620
01:22:50,000 --> 01:22:51,759
Speaker 1: we had a great time when we went to Vegas,

1621
01:22:52,000 --> 01:22:53,960
Speaker 1: so we had to negotiate some things. So there's like,

1622
01:22:54,000 --> 01:22:55,960
Speaker 1: wait a minute, you have a show. He didn't have

1623
01:22:56,000 --> 01:22:57,360
Speaker 1: a show in twenty teen. I don't think he got

1624
01:22:57,400 --> 01:23:00,200
Speaker 1: to show into like twenty eleven or twenty twelve. Even

1625
01:23:00,200 --> 01:23:02,040
Speaker 1: twenty twelve, for sure you had a show. And it

1626
01:23:02,160 --> 01:23:03,720
Speaker 1: was like, nah, man, you can't be getting paid all

1627
01:23:03,760 --> 01:23:05,920
Speaker 1: this money and the group not benefit from it. So

1628
01:23:06,280 --> 01:23:08,760
Speaker 1: we had to put that tax together man, and you

1629
01:23:08,840 --> 01:23:10,600
Speaker 1: know what it was. He was a good sport about it,

1630
01:23:10,680 --> 01:23:12,360
Speaker 1: and you knew that the money was going to a

1631
01:23:12,400 --> 01:23:14,280
Speaker 1: good place. There's a lot of memories, a lot of

1632
01:23:14,360 --> 01:23:16,200
Speaker 1: things that I remember, a lot of things that I

1633
01:23:16,280 --> 01:23:18,560
Speaker 1: won't ever remember from our time to day because we

1634
01:23:18,680 --> 01:23:21,800
Speaker 1: had had a great time. But like I said, the

1635
01:23:21,840 --> 01:23:23,519
Speaker 1: money while I went to a good place. The Old

1636
01:23:23,600 --> 01:23:26,960
Speaker 1: Line and the d B's are usually the most interesting

1637
01:23:27,040 --> 01:23:30,240
Speaker 1: groups to me on every team I've been on. Yeah,

1638
01:23:30,479 --> 01:23:36,280
Speaker 1: it's crazy, well, how creative, how different, different different ways

1639
01:23:36,400 --> 01:23:38,760
Speaker 1: we think and go about things, and then the money

1640
01:23:38,840 --> 01:23:41,519
Speaker 1: you guys spend to eat, the money you guys spend

1641
01:23:41,600 --> 01:23:46,720
Speaker 1: to go on. That's one thing about this season that

1642
01:23:46,920 --> 01:23:49,519
Speaker 1: I feel like it's going to be very disappointing for

1643
01:23:49,600 --> 01:23:51,760
Speaker 1: the guys is I don't know if they're going to

1644
01:23:51,840 --> 01:23:55,560
Speaker 1: be able to do the Thursday night dinners like you

1645
01:23:55,640 --> 01:23:58,280
Speaker 1: would normally do because you got the coronavirus and you

1646
01:23:58,320 --> 01:23:59,920
Speaker 1: don't know, you know, if we can get a vACC

1647
01:24:00,040 --> 01:24:02,120
Speaker 1: seen in the next month or so, maybe that'll change.

1648
01:24:02,160 --> 01:24:03,960
Speaker 1: But that was something I was thinking about the sauce

1649
01:24:03,960 --> 01:24:06,680
Speaker 1: scenes and like the things that you're so used to

1650
01:24:06,840 --> 01:24:09,679
Speaker 1: doing in the way they're used to being, that's something

1651
01:24:09,760 --> 01:24:11,960
Speaker 1: that I couldn't expect to be the same way this year.

1652
01:24:12,000 --> 01:24:14,880
Speaker 1: Those guys have done an excellent job of monitoring themselves

1653
01:24:14,880 --> 01:24:17,160
Speaker 1: and putting themselves not putting themselves in bad situation, and

1654
01:24:17,280 --> 01:24:20,640
Speaker 1: just be surprised if that would be the case that

1655
01:24:20,680 --> 01:24:22,400
Speaker 1: they'd actually do it the same way they always do.

1656
01:24:22,760 --> 01:24:24,720
Speaker 1: I think, if you've got a big room, maybe at

1657
01:24:24,760 --> 01:24:28,080
Speaker 1: a restaurant or something, and maybe the restaurant would love

1658
01:24:28,160 --> 01:24:30,479
Speaker 1: the business, you know, like we'll give you your own

1659
01:24:30,560 --> 01:24:32,760
Speaker 1: area since we're not even opening the dining room or

1660
01:24:32,800 --> 01:24:34,720
Speaker 1: something like that. Making a private of that. Who knows

1661
01:24:34,760 --> 01:24:36,920
Speaker 1: how they could do it, but you wanting to get

1662
01:24:37,000 --> 01:24:39,479
Speaker 1: the numbers up cracks me up. You're like one of

1663
01:24:39,560 --> 01:24:41,720
Speaker 1: those cops in the speed traps, you know, like I'm

1664
01:24:41,720 --> 01:24:44,280
Speaker 1: gonna hide behind the bushes here because everyone always goes

1665
01:24:44,320 --> 01:24:48,439
Speaker 1: fast here, you know, pull everybody over, give the tickets.

1666
01:24:48,520 --> 01:24:50,880
Speaker 1: It's the quota system. I love this. I love that

1667
01:24:50,960 --> 01:24:54,519
Speaker 1: you guys enjoyed yourselves that way. So I'll get more info.

1668
01:24:54,880 --> 01:24:56,839
Speaker 1: And I know you guys are gonna do some interviews

1669
01:24:56,840 --> 01:25:00,240
Speaker 1: as a season progresses here, but we'll see. I mean,

1670
01:25:00,360 --> 01:25:02,760
Speaker 1: the conference have got to be pretty bare, you know,

1671
01:25:02,840 --> 01:25:04,719
Speaker 1: if they're if they can get out of these fines

1672
01:25:04,800 --> 01:25:07,639
Speaker 1: this way, yeah, man, I tell you what, man, They're

1673
01:25:07,680 --> 01:25:09,640
Speaker 1: gonna have to figure out something. And I don't know

1674
01:25:09,680 --> 01:25:11,240
Speaker 1: what they do with their money. I don't know what

1675
01:25:11,320 --> 01:25:13,120
Speaker 1: they do with the money. Some some teams. I was

1676
01:25:13,200 --> 01:25:15,400
Speaker 1: with the Chiefs and we used to give our money

1677
01:25:15,439 --> 01:25:16,800
Speaker 1: to charity at the end of the year. That was

1678
01:25:16,840 --> 01:25:18,960
Speaker 1: a Brian Waters deal where he was like, we donated

1679
01:25:19,000 --> 01:25:20,880
Speaker 1: the money to By the time I got to Houston,

1680
01:25:21,200 --> 01:25:22,800
Speaker 1: those guys like, no, we go to Vegas and we

1681
01:25:22,840 --> 01:25:25,040
Speaker 1: have a good time and all these are all good things.

1682
01:25:25,160 --> 01:25:28,800
Speaker 1: You know, some things are more notable and noble than others,

1683
01:25:28,880 --> 01:25:31,799
Speaker 1: but they all ended up being good times for people involved.

1684
01:25:31,840 --> 01:25:34,400
Speaker 1: But that that's kind of a little bit into the

1685
01:25:35,280 --> 01:25:38,639
Speaker 1: behind the scenes of the fines of offensive line room

1686
01:25:38,920 --> 01:25:42,680
Speaker 1: mark um training camps officially overcorrect. Ye, what are some

1687
01:25:42,800 --> 01:25:46,800
Speaker 1: of your biggest takeaways from this historic because I believe

1688
01:25:46,840 --> 01:25:50,680
Speaker 1: it is a historic historic training camp this year? Uh,

1689
01:25:50,960 --> 01:25:54,240
Speaker 1: good question. I think you know, Watson's always number one

1690
01:25:54,320 --> 01:25:56,439
Speaker 1: to me. You know, I've been through a lot of

1691
01:25:56,520 --> 01:26:00,760
Speaker 1: Texans training camps and the quarterbackian we all know, is

1692
01:26:00,800 --> 01:26:02,639
Speaker 1: the most important position on the team, and I think

1693
01:26:02,680 --> 01:26:05,400
Speaker 1: that this is something we cannot take for granted that

1694
01:26:05,479 --> 01:26:08,080
Speaker 1: we have Deshaun Watson in our city playing football. You know,

1695
01:26:08,280 --> 01:26:10,560
Speaker 1: I felt that way about Andrey Johnson. You know, I

1696
01:26:10,640 --> 01:26:12,720
Speaker 1: felt that way about Wade Smith and Cecil Shorts. No,

1697
01:26:12,880 --> 01:26:15,000
Speaker 1: but seriously, when you have but not that I'm not

1698
01:26:15,040 --> 01:26:19,479
Speaker 1: serious about you, very kind, but when you have you know,

1699
01:26:19,760 --> 01:26:23,400
Speaker 1: one of the great ones wide receiver, Andrey Johnson. I

1700
01:26:23,439 --> 01:26:26,880
Speaker 1: always reminded myself, hey, take this in, and I tried

1701
01:26:26,920 --> 01:26:29,479
Speaker 1: to remind the fans take this in because a player

1702
01:26:29,600 --> 01:26:32,479
Speaker 1: like this doesn't come along every day. Not everybody has

1703
01:26:32,560 --> 01:26:35,160
Speaker 1: one of these kinds of guys. Same thing with hop

1704
01:26:35,360 --> 01:26:38,400
Speaker 1: Right now you have Watson, you have this elite quarterback.

1705
01:26:38,800 --> 01:26:41,400
Speaker 1: Let's enjoy and let's watch him develop. It's only year

1706
01:26:41,479 --> 01:26:44,240
Speaker 1: four and it's only his third full season. Let's knock

1707
01:26:44,280 --> 01:26:47,800
Speaker 1: wood full season that he's gonna play. He's only played

1708
01:26:47,840 --> 01:26:50,280
Speaker 1: two full seasons in this league. But you can see

1709
01:26:50,760 --> 01:26:54,040
Speaker 1: the maturation process. You can see that he's definitely better

1710
01:26:54,200 --> 01:26:57,519
Speaker 1: in practice than he was previously. Not that he was ever,

1711
01:26:57,680 --> 01:27:00,559
Speaker 1: you know, bad, but you could see improvement and it's

1712
01:27:00,600 --> 01:27:02,960
Speaker 1: going to look different. I think that, you know, not

1713
01:27:03,160 --> 01:27:06,920
Speaker 1: having Hopkins was obviously a huge theme of this offseason,

1714
01:27:07,240 --> 01:27:09,360
Speaker 1: who they added and how they were going to look

1715
01:27:09,439 --> 01:27:11,200
Speaker 1: on the field once they got on the field. Now,

1716
01:27:11,280 --> 01:27:13,639
Speaker 1: we haven't seen it in the games yet, but in practice,

1717
01:27:14,000 --> 01:27:17,080
Speaker 1: you could see that the portfolio has been diversified. You

1718
01:27:17,120 --> 01:27:20,160
Speaker 1: have different weapons, different things to do. You have everywhere

1719
01:27:20,200 --> 01:27:22,880
Speaker 1: you look there's somewhere to throw the football, someone to

1720
01:27:22,960 --> 01:27:26,240
Speaker 1: throw it too, and they might have a completely different

1721
01:27:26,280 --> 01:27:27,960
Speaker 1: skill set than the next guy. Where it could. You know,

1722
01:27:28,040 --> 01:27:30,400
Speaker 1: the tight end group is obviously different from the receiver group.

1723
01:27:30,439 --> 01:27:33,280
Speaker 1: We all get that, but within the tight end group

1724
01:27:33,400 --> 01:27:37,160
Speaker 1: you have differences of style, and within the receiver group

1725
01:27:37,320 --> 01:27:39,160
Speaker 1: very different. I think Cobb is going to be huge

1726
01:27:39,160 --> 01:27:41,439
Speaker 1: for Watson, he's such a great route runner, huge for

1727
01:27:41,600 --> 01:27:45,160
Speaker 1: him on third down. I think Cooks, that's another guy

1728
01:27:45,200 --> 01:27:47,600
Speaker 1: that jumped out to me. He had a couple of

1729
01:27:47,680 --> 01:27:50,719
Speaker 1: practices that were just ipoppers where you just thought, oh wow,

1730
01:27:51,080 --> 01:27:52,880
Speaker 1: you know he is one of those guys at receiver.

1731
01:27:52,960 --> 01:27:54,559
Speaker 1: I mean, he's one of the best receivers in the league.

1732
01:27:54,600 --> 01:27:56,240
Speaker 1: You know, when he's out there healthy doing his thing,

1733
01:27:56,680 --> 01:27:58,960
Speaker 1: you could protect the quarterback. Cooks is one of the

1734
01:27:59,000 --> 01:28:00,920
Speaker 1: better receivers in the nf FELL I don't think there's

1735
01:28:00,920 --> 01:28:04,120
Speaker 1: any question about it. But how about this in the scrimmage,

1736
01:28:04,439 --> 01:28:07,680
Speaker 1: just a few plays from Fuller, and I was thinking, oh,

1737
01:28:07,840 --> 01:28:10,599
Speaker 1: that's nice. Just just rest him till opening day, please.

1738
01:28:10,800 --> 01:28:13,760
Speaker 1: You know, you we forget sometimes, you know, we talk

1739
01:28:13,840 --> 01:28:16,320
Speaker 1: about it, but when you see it, you forget how

1740
01:28:16,400 --> 01:28:19,479
Speaker 1: good Fuller is. And it's not just a Burner kind

1741
01:28:19,520 --> 01:28:22,799
Speaker 1: of good at wide receiver. It's route running, it's change

1742
01:28:22,840 --> 01:28:25,920
Speaker 1: of direction very quickly, it's all of those things. So

1743
01:28:26,400 --> 01:28:28,400
Speaker 1: those things too, that to me offensively and I think

1744
01:28:28,479 --> 01:28:32,519
Speaker 1: defensively Cecil. It's interesting you mentioned the defensive backfield because

1745
01:28:32,840 --> 01:28:36,280
Speaker 1: I agree that is such a tight position group, and

1746
01:28:36,479 --> 01:28:38,639
Speaker 1: this thing's been overhauled in the last couple of years.

1747
01:28:38,680 --> 01:28:40,479
Speaker 1: I mean, you think two years ago you got Kareem

1748
01:28:40,560 --> 01:28:44,240
Speaker 1: and Jjoe and everything, and now Justin Reid is kind

1749
01:28:44,280 --> 01:28:46,559
Speaker 1: of the og and he's in year three, you know, now,

1750
01:28:46,560 --> 01:28:48,840
Speaker 1: I know, I know Roby's been around, but it's only

1751
01:28:48,880 --> 01:28:50,840
Speaker 1: a second year on the team. Reads the beginning year

1752
01:28:50,960 --> 01:28:53,400
Speaker 1: three and you look around that group and it's a

1753
01:28:53,520 --> 01:28:55,519
Speaker 1: lot of new guys and some that you picked up

1754
01:28:55,560 --> 01:28:57,599
Speaker 1: along the way last year, so it feels like they've

1755
01:28:57,600 --> 01:28:59,360
Speaker 1: been here, but they really haven't even been here that long.

1756
01:28:59,479 --> 01:29:03,599
Speaker 1: So watching the development of that group has been interesting.

1757
01:29:03,720 --> 01:29:05,599
Speaker 1: I think they're gonna be a lot better this year.

1758
01:29:05,680 --> 01:29:07,360
Speaker 1: I really think they're gonna make a ton of plays.

1759
01:29:07,720 --> 01:29:09,840
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what, man, there's a question that I

1760
01:29:10,400 --> 01:29:13,080
Speaker 1: gotta ask, and we'll have to get it on the

1761
01:29:13,160 --> 01:29:15,960
Speaker 1: other side, But will this season set a record in

1853
01:34:51,240 --> 01:34:54,240
Speaker 1: the voice of the Houston Texas, Mark Vandermer on a

1854
01:34:54,320 --> 01:34:57,479
Speaker 1: line with us now and before the break, I felt

1855
01:34:57,520 --> 01:35:01,080
Speaker 1: like that we're going to break a record this season

1856
01:35:01,760 --> 01:35:05,040
Speaker 1: and one of the most unconventional ways possible, and not

1857
01:35:05,240 --> 01:35:08,600
Speaker 1: just with the Houston Texans, but throughout the NFL. And

1858
01:35:09,200 --> 01:35:12,280
Speaker 1: but 'brian had some comments that we said an oppressive

1859
01:35:12,360 --> 01:35:15,960
Speaker 1: I think kind of co sign how I'm looking at

1860
01:35:16,000 --> 01:35:18,640
Speaker 1: how this season is going to go. Basically, when you

1861
01:35:18,720 --> 01:35:20,640
Speaker 1: guys are out in practice, I would say, like, you know,

1862
01:35:21,280 --> 01:35:23,680
Speaker 1: for all intents and purposes, this is our team, right.

1863
01:35:23,760 --> 01:35:27,040
Speaker 1: I mean you've got eighty guys, You've got you know,

1864
01:35:27,200 --> 01:35:30,400
Speaker 1: you're you're gonna have fifty three plus sixteen, so you

1865
01:35:30,439 --> 01:35:32,960
Speaker 1: know you're talking about maybe ten spots there that um.

1866
01:35:33,160 --> 01:35:37,639
Speaker 1: But you know, again, there's different you know, different avenues

1867
01:35:37,680 --> 01:35:40,680
Speaker 1: because of the roster flexibility that's in place this year.

1868
01:35:41,840 --> 01:35:43,680
Speaker 1: Like I said, I like the guys that are on

1869
01:35:43,760 --> 01:35:46,120
Speaker 1: our team. You know, I think from top to bottom,

1870
01:35:46,240 --> 01:35:49,200
Speaker 1: these guys have really poured everything they've had into a

1871
01:35:49,760 --> 01:35:51,880
Speaker 1: into a weird year. I mean, think about it, right,

1872
01:35:52,000 --> 01:35:54,920
Speaker 1: they come in every morning, they get tested for the coronavirus,

1873
01:35:55,200 --> 01:35:57,760
Speaker 1: and they then they gotta you know, then they go

1874
01:35:57,880 --> 01:36:01,200
Speaker 1: to lift, then they they go to meetings and then

1875
01:36:01,320 --> 01:36:03,360
Speaker 1: walk throughs, and then they practice. Then we go home

1876
01:36:03,400 --> 01:36:05,800
Speaker 1: and we zoom me. I mean we we actually like

1877
01:36:05,920 --> 01:36:07,920
Speaker 1: we zoom me. I mean think about that for a second,

1878
01:36:07,960 --> 01:36:10,720
Speaker 1: you know, like so like we this is a different year, right,

1879
01:36:10,840 --> 01:36:15,400
Speaker 1: And I just really for me, there there's definitely an

1880
01:36:15,439 --> 01:36:18,120
Speaker 1: attachment to a lot of these guys because I believe

1881
01:36:18,240 --> 01:36:20,560
Speaker 1: that they've done everything that I've asked them to do.

1882
01:36:20,720 --> 01:36:23,000
Speaker 1: And so I think, you know, like when you're out

1883
01:36:23,000 --> 01:36:24,960
Speaker 1: there a practice like I know you are every day,

1884
01:36:25,000 --> 01:36:27,479
Speaker 1: aren't you're looking at our team now, how we use

1885
01:36:27,560 --> 01:36:30,280
Speaker 1: guys and do different things. You know that'll be game

1886
01:36:30,320 --> 01:36:33,599
Speaker 1: plan wise, but you know, of course we could always

1887
01:36:33,640 --> 01:36:36,040
Speaker 1: do you know, obviously we've done some things over the

1888
01:36:36,120 --> 01:36:39,720
Speaker 1: last couple of years, brought some guys in, move some

1889
01:36:39,880 --> 01:36:42,680
Speaker 1: guys out. But you know, I think you're looking at

1890
01:36:42,680 --> 01:36:44,639
Speaker 1: the majority of the players on our practice field. That's

1891
01:36:44,640 --> 01:36:48,960
Speaker 1: our team. When I hear Bill O'Brien make those comments,

1892
01:36:49,560 --> 01:36:52,400
Speaker 1: it co signs my line of thinking that this year

1893
01:36:52,560 --> 01:36:54,479
Speaker 1: we're going to set a record with the Texans and

1894
01:36:54,560 --> 01:36:57,439
Speaker 1: with the NFL in general, with the least amount of

1895
01:36:57,520 --> 01:37:01,360
Speaker 1: movement in transactions over the course of the season. When

1896
01:37:01,400 --> 01:37:04,719
Speaker 1: you're talking about moving guys from one team to another,

1897
01:37:04,840 --> 01:37:09,880
Speaker 1: when you got the coronavirus going on, and gaining trust

1898
01:37:10,720 --> 01:37:13,479
Speaker 1: with guys in your locker room to do things the

1899
01:37:13,640 --> 01:37:16,880
Speaker 1: right way. These coaches we talked about earlier in the show,

1900
01:37:17,920 --> 01:37:21,080
Speaker 1: coaches won a game. They want the players to gain

1901
01:37:21,400 --> 01:37:24,240
Speaker 1: their trust, and once they gain it, they're not gonna

1902
01:37:24,320 --> 01:37:26,560
Speaker 1: let those guys out the building if they can help it.

1903
01:37:26,720 --> 01:37:31,320
Speaker 1: And so to me, you know, normally roster spot forty

1904
01:37:31,400 --> 01:37:34,240
Speaker 1: seven through fifty three, you know what I mean, forty

1905
01:37:34,360 --> 01:37:36,920
Speaker 1: nine through fifty three, those are changing a bunch throughout

1906
01:37:36,920 --> 01:37:39,599
Speaker 1: the season. I think you're gonna see the least amount

1907
01:37:39,640 --> 01:37:41,880
Speaker 1: of movement than what we've ever seen in the modern

1908
01:37:41,960 --> 01:37:47,200
Speaker 1: day area era of professional football due to the fact

1909
01:37:47,240 --> 01:37:49,760
Speaker 1: that they're gonna take those eighty guys and that's the

1910
01:37:49,800 --> 01:37:52,160
Speaker 1: pool they're gonna draw from to bringing players. I think

1911
01:37:52,160 --> 01:37:55,240
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be very, very a low amount

1912
01:37:55,479 --> 01:37:57,800
Speaker 1: of guys that are coming from outside in to join

1913
01:37:57,840 --> 01:38:00,760
Speaker 1: the Houston Texas this year. So it's extremely important that

1914
01:38:01,360 --> 01:38:04,320
Speaker 1: the Texans did a good enough job, a great job

1915
01:38:04,479 --> 01:38:07,679
Speaker 1: in advance of getting those ninety guys down to eighty

1916
01:38:07,760 --> 01:38:10,280
Speaker 1: guys in the building because those are the guys that

1917
01:38:10,360 --> 01:38:13,000
Speaker 1: you're gonna draw for them throughout the year. Well, I

1918
01:38:13,080 --> 01:38:15,479
Speaker 1: think it's a great point because think about it from

1919
01:38:15,520 --> 01:38:19,759
Speaker 1: multiple angles. Here, they have a sixteen player practice squad

1920
01:38:19,920 --> 01:38:22,559
Speaker 1: and four of those players are protected, so that means

1921
01:38:22,600 --> 01:38:25,000
Speaker 1: you have a fifty seven man roster. Basically, I mean,

1922
01:38:25,479 --> 01:38:27,800
Speaker 1: the guys don't make the fifty three man money. But

1923
01:38:27,880 --> 01:38:30,479
Speaker 1: they're protected. So to a coach, I've got those guys,

1924
01:38:30,560 --> 01:38:32,880
Speaker 1: I don't have to worry about them going anywhere unless

1925
01:38:32,920 --> 01:38:36,000
Speaker 1: I want them to go somewhere. That's a tease, though,

1926
01:38:36,360 --> 01:38:38,639
Speaker 1: because then if you had that any other year, you'd

1927
01:38:38,680 --> 01:38:40,400
Speaker 1: be like, oh my gosh, I could pick up some

1928
01:38:40,520 --> 01:38:43,960
Speaker 1: waiver wire guys. This is gonna be awesome. But they can't.

1929
01:38:44,240 --> 01:38:47,040
Speaker 1: Well they can, but it's a lot harder. Think about

1930
01:38:47,040 --> 01:38:50,000
Speaker 1: it like this, Nobody in camp has been on a

1931
01:38:50,080 --> 01:38:54,360
Speaker 1: commercial jet. Right. If you bring in another guy from whatever,

1932
01:38:54,680 --> 01:38:57,360
Speaker 1: Seattle who they let go and you got to fly

1933
01:38:57,520 --> 01:39:00,960
Speaker 1: them in, you know, how does that go coronavirus wise?

1934
01:39:01,160 --> 01:39:02,760
Speaker 1: You know, you have to test him. He's got to

1935
01:39:02,840 --> 01:39:05,120
Speaker 1: sit for a while. He can't play for you opening day.

1936
01:39:05,479 --> 01:39:08,200
Speaker 1: You know, I remember twenty fourteen, Bill O'Brien makes moves

1937
01:39:08,400 --> 01:39:12,160
Speaker 1: that final Labor Day weekend, and you know Demaris Johnson

1938
01:39:12,240 --> 01:39:14,360
Speaker 1: is starting in the slot on opening day. We didn't

1939
01:39:14,400 --> 01:39:17,080
Speaker 1: even know who he was. You know, they'd been practicing

1940
01:39:17,200 --> 01:39:20,360
Speaker 1: under you know, cover of darkness. So this was an

1941
01:39:20,439 --> 01:39:23,400
Speaker 1: unveiling of sorts. And last year, I mean, I don't

1942
01:39:23,439 --> 01:39:25,760
Speaker 1: think that could happen this year. It could but you'd

1943
01:39:25,800 --> 01:39:27,759
Speaker 1: have to sit the guys on opening day. They wouldn't

1944
01:39:27,760 --> 01:39:30,800
Speaker 1: be able to practice because of coronavirus. So I think

1945
01:39:30,840 --> 01:39:32,760
Speaker 1: it's a great point you make, Wade. It's hard to

1946
01:39:32,800 --> 01:39:35,439
Speaker 1: bring guys in and get instant results out of them,

1947
01:39:35,520 --> 01:39:38,759
Speaker 1: instant dividends. And that's why they've made these practice squads bigger.

1948
01:39:38,800 --> 01:39:41,200
Speaker 1: And your team is your team. Now that having said that,

1949
01:39:41,320 --> 01:39:44,960
Speaker 1: there will be some movement, but definitely not as much

1950
01:39:45,000 --> 01:39:47,840
Speaker 1: as usual. And you better have done a good job

1951
01:39:47,960 --> 01:39:51,320
Speaker 1: getting your eighty in here, because this is who you got.

1952
01:39:51,400 --> 01:39:53,479
Speaker 1: This is who you're gonna dance with at the ball,

1953
01:39:53,600 --> 01:39:56,200
Speaker 1: and you hope that you can ride with them into

1954
01:39:56,240 --> 01:39:59,559
Speaker 1: the postseason. Every year, in real quick before we get

1955
01:39:59,640 --> 01:40:03,400
Speaker 1: to our twenty twenty season preview, every year there is

1956
01:40:03,680 --> 01:40:08,280
Speaker 1: a surprise person that makes the team or a surprise

1957
01:40:08,400 --> 01:40:10,560
Speaker 1: cut they who didn't see coming. Let's just think to

1958
01:40:10,640 --> 01:40:12,840
Speaker 1: the person that makes the team, who do you think

1959
01:40:13,680 --> 01:40:16,800
Speaker 1: has a good shot? One player that stood at has

1960
01:40:16,840 --> 01:40:19,439
Speaker 1: a really good shot of making fitty three rosseters this year? Well,

1961
01:40:19,520 --> 01:40:22,200
Speaker 1: well you know that. I'm like, I'm like Dicky v

1962
01:40:22,400 --> 01:40:25,840
Speaker 1: Dick Fitel. It's awesome, baby. Everybody makes the NCAA tournament

1963
01:40:25,840 --> 01:40:27,960
Speaker 1: I got any teams in a sixty five team field

1964
01:40:28,160 --> 01:40:32,479
Speaker 1: or whatever, so I'm that guy. But on the D line,

1965
01:40:32,560 --> 01:40:35,759
Speaker 1: I thought there could be some interesting developments here because

1966
01:40:35,960 --> 01:40:37,920
Speaker 1: you know, obviously I think ninety nine is gonna make it.

1967
01:40:37,960 --> 01:40:40,880
Speaker 1: I think there's a pretty good chance of that character.

1968
01:40:41,200 --> 01:40:43,519
Speaker 1: Probably he's got a he's got a decent shout a. Yeah,

1969
01:40:43,520 --> 01:40:44,880
Speaker 1: I think he's got I think he's got a future.

1970
01:40:45,360 --> 01:40:47,680
Speaker 1: So but you know, I look at a guy like

1971
01:40:47,800 --> 01:40:52,439
Speaker 1: Albert Huggins out of Clemson, who just seems to have

1972
01:40:52,479 --> 01:40:54,800
Speaker 1: a lot of juice. Look, I told Johnny said, look,

1973
01:40:54,800 --> 01:40:57,040
Speaker 1: I don't know how to evaluate these D linemen in practice,

1974
01:40:57,080 --> 01:40:59,080
Speaker 1: but I know what I'm seeing. When you know, guys

1975
01:40:59,160 --> 01:41:01,479
Speaker 1: jumping all around, it shows the energy they're looking for.

1976
01:41:02,160 --> 01:41:06,960
Speaker 1: And Azoya Alifaja, which I probably mispronounced, but I'll get

1977
01:41:06,960 --> 01:41:08,720
Speaker 1: it right for Opening night if he makes the team,

1978
01:41:09,040 --> 01:41:11,080
Speaker 1: and even if he does it just out of respect

1979
01:41:11,160 --> 01:41:13,640
Speaker 1: for him. Six four three twenty pound rookie out of

1980
01:41:13,680 --> 01:41:16,760
Speaker 1: West Georgia. This guy is he blocks out the sun,

1981
01:41:18,080 --> 01:41:20,559
Speaker 1: big Z. They call him big Z blocks out the sun,

1982
01:41:20,680 --> 01:41:23,360
Speaker 1: and he's hard not to notice. Maybe he's practice squad,

1983
01:41:23,439 --> 01:41:26,720
Speaker 1: I don't know, But on that D line, because you

1984
01:41:26,800 --> 01:41:30,840
Speaker 1: know Watt, Blackson, Donnie, they're all gonna make it. Obviously, Blacklock,

1985
01:41:30,960 --> 01:41:33,840
Speaker 1: a mana who these guys. I don't know about PJ.

1986
01:41:34,040 --> 01:41:35,960
Speaker 1: Hall yet, you know, because he came on late. He's

1987
01:41:36,040 --> 01:41:39,000
Speaker 1: kind of he was behind the schedule of everybody else

1988
01:41:39,080 --> 01:41:42,120
Speaker 1: in the ramp up activity. So I'm not sure what's

1989
01:41:42,160 --> 01:41:44,280
Speaker 1: gonna happen with him. But I would start on the

1990
01:41:44,400 --> 01:41:47,680
Speaker 1: D line for maybe a surprise or two when it

1991
01:41:47,760 --> 01:41:49,639
Speaker 1: all comes down to it. I don't think there will

1992
01:41:49,640 --> 01:41:52,960
Speaker 1: be any real big surprises on the old line. Receiver.

1993
01:41:53,200 --> 01:41:55,439
Speaker 1: I just you know, DeAndre Carter I think is as

1994
01:41:55,640 --> 01:41:57,920
Speaker 1: much of a lock to make this football team as

1995
01:41:57,920 --> 01:42:01,040
Speaker 1: anybody else because he's reliable. I know what happened in

1996
01:42:01,080 --> 01:42:04,200
Speaker 1: the playoff game, but he's so reliable catching the football.

1997
01:42:04,240 --> 01:42:06,800
Speaker 1: I think a surprise could be, Oh, they kept six

1998
01:42:07,080 --> 01:42:09,960
Speaker 1: and maybe it's Qt or Mitchell or one of these

1999
01:42:10,000 --> 01:42:14,880
Speaker 1: other guys Hansen who pops in and makes the club.

2000
01:42:15,040 --> 01:42:18,800
Speaker 1: So I'll look at that position group closely. I'm not

2001
01:42:18,880 --> 01:42:20,640
Speaker 1: sure how they're going to handle the running backs. You know,

2002
01:42:20,720 --> 01:42:22,600
Speaker 1: Gillespie has been nicked up a bit, but you know

2003
01:42:22,640 --> 01:42:24,439
Speaker 1: they love him and he plays special teams and he

2004
01:42:24,520 --> 01:42:26,479
Speaker 1: really knows the offense well. He can make plays for

2005
01:42:26,600 --> 01:42:28,840
Speaker 1: you there, but they get thin in a hurry. We've

2006
01:42:28,880 --> 01:42:31,560
Speaker 1: talked about this guys, and I'm not sure, you know,

2007
01:42:31,760 --> 01:42:34,400
Speaker 1: that's one area where I'm thinking, geez, if they get

2008
01:42:34,400 --> 01:42:36,320
Speaker 1: an injury or something, what are they gonna do or

2009
01:42:36,320 --> 01:42:38,760
Speaker 1: they're gonna feel like, all right, Higden is our guy.

2010
01:42:38,920 --> 01:42:40,760
Speaker 1: He you know, we can ride with him, but you

2011
01:42:40,840 --> 01:42:42,519
Speaker 1: haven't seen him in a real game, in any kind

2012
01:42:42,560 --> 01:42:45,960
Speaker 1: of games. So you're just not sure there. And I

2013
01:42:45,960 --> 01:42:47,800
Speaker 1: don't want to go over every group on the team here,

2014
01:42:47,840 --> 01:42:49,680
Speaker 1: but those are some of my initial thoughts when you

2015
01:42:49,760 --> 01:42:52,719
Speaker 1: bring up that question before we get into the schedule

2016
01:42:52,760 --> 01:42:55,719
Speaker 1: of the Texans coming up, I had a question about

2017
01:42:56,200 --> 01:42:59,080
Speaker 1: the guy that they're going to protect, or the guys

2018
01:42:59,120 --> 01:43:01,280
Speaker 1: that they're gonna protect. You mentioned it earlier that they

2019
01:43:01,360 --> 01:43:03,960
Speaker 1: have four they have four spots that they can protect

2020
01:43:05,320 --> 01:43:07,240
Speaker 1: guys that do or they're on the practice squad, but

2021
01:43:07,640 --> 01:43:10,080
Speaker 1: nobody can come snatch them up off of waivers or

2022
01:43:10,080 --> 01:43:13,200
Speaker 1: anything like that. Just in general, just kind of a

2023
01:43:13,280 --> 01:43:17,120
Speaker 1: general philosophy, what position groups do you think are most

2024
01:43:17,200 --> 01:43:20,400
Speaker 1: likely to be one of those four have one of

2025
01:43:20,439 --> 01:43:24,720
Speaker 1: those four members of the protected squad well, it's a

2026
01:43:24,840 --> 01:43:27,560
Speaker 1: great question, and I think that you know, Johnny and

2027
01:43:27,560 --> 01:43:31,360
Speaker 1: I were discussing this, and I think McGoo, Alex mcgoo's

2028
01:43:31,400 --> 01:43:34,479
Speaker 1: got to be one of those four. Right. You can't

2029
01:43:34,520 --> 01:43:38,639
Speaker 1: afford to have your third quarterback out there in limbo land,

2030
01:43:39,479 --> 01:43:43,360
Speaker 1: so maybe him, and then you look at maybe one

2031
01:43:43,400 --> 01:43:46,160
Speaker 1: of the receivers. You know, you have to look at

2032
01:43:46,320 --> 01:43:50,400
Speaker 1: a position group that gets extremely thin quickly, and you

2033
01:43:50,439 --> 01:43:53,040
Speaker 1: don't want your practice squad guy to be poached. You

2034
01:43:53,160 --> 01:43:57,280
Speaker 1: have to protect the four people. So it's possible. You know,

2035
01:43:57,640 --> 01:43:59,439
Speaker 1: how about this what I just said about running backs.

2036
01:43:59,439 --> 01:44:01,080
Speaker 1: What if there's a running back on the waiver wire

2037
01:44:01,160 --> 01:44:03,600
Speaker 1: that they love and it's like, okay, we don't need

2038
01:44:03,640 --> 01:44:05,640
Speaker 1: to play him Opening Night because everybody's healthy, but we

2039
01:44:05,800 --> 01:44:08,959
Speaker 1: want the insurance policy. If they didn't like their insurance

2040
01:44:09,000 --> 01:44:11,960
Speaker 1: policy at running back or any position group for that matter,

2041
01:44:12,400 --> 01:44:14,479
Speaker 1: you pluck a guy off the waiver wire and stick

2042
01:44:14,560 --> 01:44:17,200
Speaker 1: him in that protective four on the practice squad. This

2043
01:44:17,400 --> 01:44:19,200
Speaker 1: way you can test him. He doesn't have to come

2044
01:44:19,240 --> 01:44:22,760
Speaker 1: in right away. He'll be available week two if God

2045
01:44:22,800 --> 01:44:25,360
Speaker 1: forbid you needed him. If not, you can wait and

2046
01:44:25,439 --> 01:44:28,280
Speaker 1: just get him up to speed at your leisure. If

2047
01:44:28,320 --> 01:44:30,080
Speaker 1: you will. So there are a lot of things to

2048
01:44:30,120 --> 01:44:35,080
Speaker 1: consider there, but I would say running back receiver, you

2049
01:44:35,240 --> 01:44:37,519
Speaker 1: never have enough defensive back. So maybe they feel that

2050
01:44:37,640 --> 01:44:39,400
Speaker 1: way and they'll let go of somebody, but they'll keep

2051
01:44:39,479 --> 01:44:41,840
Speaker 1: him in that protective four I think that's you know,

2052
01:44:42,320 --> 01:44:44,439
Speaker 1: I don't know if people find these things exciting, but

2053
01:44:44,560 --> 01:44:47,800
Speaker 1: I do think they find them interesting. And that four

2054
01:44:47,920 --> 01:44:51,280
Speaker 1: mans group right there is going to be fun to

2055
01:44:51,360 --> 01:44:53,840
Speaker 1: watch next weekend when they get it all boiled down. Yeah,

2056
01:44:53,880 --> 01:44:55,800
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what, man, when when you think about this,

2057
01:44:56,240 --> 01:44:58,400
Speaker 1: you know this is going to be a one time thing.

2058
01:44:58,520 --> 01:45:00,200
Speaker 1: This is not like this is going to be something

2059
01:45:00,240 --> 01:45:02,519
Speaker 1: that you can draw from and with their philosophy and say,

2060
01:45:02,560 --> 01:45:04,439
Speaker 1: you know what, I expect them to do this going

2061
01:45:04,520 --> 01:45:07,280
Speaker 1: forward for years to come, because you know, hopefully prayer

2062
01:45:07,320 --> 01:45:09,160
Speaker 1: for the hopefully that this is not something that you're

2063
01:45:09,200 --> 01:45:11,000
Speaker 1: having to deal with for years to come, talking about

2064
01:45:11,000 --> 01:45:13,840
Speaker 1: the coronavirus. But it's just it's just interesting to see

2065
01:45:13,920 --> 01:45:15,479
Speaker 1: how they're gonna do it, how the Texans do it,

2066
01:45:15,520 --> 01:45:18,519
Speaker 1: how other teams around the league with types of guys

2067
01:45:18,560 --> 01:45:21,120
Speaker 1: that they try to protect. Because this is a it's

2068
01:45:21,160 --> 01:45:23,200
Speaker 1: a one shot deal, you're gonna figure it out this

2069
01:45:23,320 --> 01:45:25,280
Speaker 1: way this you have one go ahead and that would

2070
01:45:25,320 --> 01:45:29,280
Speaker 1: be it. But well, here's another thing to watch out for.

2071
01:45:29,439 --> 01:45:32,439
Speaker 1: I believe the deadline is still for them and the Chiefs,

2072
01:45:32,520 --> 01:45:34,960
Speaker 1: even though they play earlier. It's still three o'clock on

2073
01:45:35,080 --> 01:45:37,920
Speaker 1: September fifth, three o'clock Saturday is going to be the

2074
01:45:37,960 --> 01:45:41,400
Speaker 1: cutdown deadline. But they're gonna make their cuts before that,

2075
01:45:41,840 --> 01:45:44,080
Speaker 1: right yeah. I mean, you know you're gonna want to

2076
01:45:44,160 --> 01:45:48,320
Speaker 1: get your team together before that, and then everybody else

2077
01:45:48,400 --> 01:45:50,760
Speaker 1: gets a head start on your guys, you know, on

2078
01:45:50,880 --> 01:45:54,200
Speaker 1: evaluating them. So if you pick up a Texans cut,

2079
01:45:55,040 --> 01:45:56,760
Speaker 1: you'll have a little bit more time to bring them

2080
01:45:56,800 --> 01:45:58,360
Speaker 1: in if you cut somebody else right away to make

2081
01:45:58,439 --> 01:46:01,760
Speaker 1: room for them. You know, there's a lot to consider here,

2082
01:46:01,840 --> 01:46:04,840
Speaker 1: And as we're having that conversation, guys, I think the

2083
01:46:05,080 --> 01:46:07,280
Speaker 1: biggest thing here is, you know, you might have seen

2084
01:46:07,360 --> 01:46:10,280
Speaker 1: players before in whatever action in college, or if they

2085
01:46:10,360 --> 01:46:13,160
Speaker 1: had a little taste of NFL action or preseason action,

2086
01:46:13,200 --> 01:46:15,360
Speaker 1: if they're one of these accredited first year guys, but

2087
01:46:15,439 --> 01:46:17,200
Speaker 1: they're really in year three or one of you know,

2088
01:46:17,240 --> 01:46:19,679
Speaker 1: there are a lot of players like that. I don't

2089
01:46:19,720 --> 01:46:23,000
Speaker 1: know how they're gonna feel about whatever footage they have

2090
01:46:23,160 --> 01:46:26,280
Speaker 1: because you haven't seen the guys lately. You know, you

2091
01:46:26,439 --> 01:46:30,920
Speaker 1: haven't seen real action from them lately on film. So

2092
01:46:31,960 --> 01:46:34,719
Speaker 1: there's a lot of guesswork here involved, and the research

2093
01:46:34,800 --> 01:46:36,360
Speaker 1: you did in the past is really gonna have to

2094
01:46:36,439 --> 01:46:38,800
Speaker 1: be good, so you make some solid decisions. Mark, I

2095
01:46:38,840 --> 01:46:40,280
Speaker 1: don't know if they're allowed to do this or not.

2096
01:46:40,400 --> 01:46:41,880
Speaker 1: And I don't even know if you would know the

2097
01:46:41,960 --> 01:46:45,120
Speaker 1: answer to this question. But our players allowed to take

2098
01:46:45,200 --> 01:46:50,280
Speaker 1: their practice practice film and share them with other teams

2099
01:46:50,360 --> 01:46:52,599
Speaker 1: through their agents if they were to get released, since

2100
01:46:52,640 --> 01:46:54,600
Speaker 1: there's because normally you have preseason film and so you

2101
01:46:54,640 --> 01:46:56,120
Speaker 1: don't have to worry about it. Are they Are they

2102
01:46:56,120 --> 01:46:58,479
Speaker 1: allowed to do that one? I don't know the answer

2103
01:46:58,520 --> 01:47:00,800
Speaker 1: to that. Yeah, I wouldn't. I doubt For you guys,

2104
01:47:00,880 --> 01:47:04,080
Speaker 1: that's a great question, But I doubt it because you know,

2105
01:47:04,360 --> 01:47:06,400
Speaker 1: everybody else is gonna be on there. It's not like

2106
01:47:06,680 --> 01:47:11,200
Speaker 1: here's my io, you know, yeah, everybody else. I was

2107
01:47:11,240 --> 01:47:13,839
Speaker 1: just wondering because the player would be on there, the scheme,

2108
01:47:14,000 --> 01:47:15,639
Speaker 1: it's just a lot that goes into it. I don't

2109
01:47:15,720 --> 01:47:20,240
Speaker 1: think it'll be it'll be like a dacted, uh, some radact.

2110
01:47:20,280 --> 01:47:22,400
Speaker 1: They'll they'll they'll put some some black marks over the

2111
01:47:22,439 --> 01:47:24,120
Speaker 1: play call and all that type of stuff. I just

2112
01:47:24,280 --> 01:47:26,320
Speaker 1: want you to spot shout me only. I'm trying to

2113
01:47:26,360 --> 01:47:27,960
Speaker 1: get a job here. I'm trying to figure out a

2114
01:47:28,000 --> 01:47:29,680
Speaker 1: way I'm trying to figure out a way in. You know,

2115
01:47:29,720 --> 01:47:32,680
Speaker 1: I blur everybody else, everybody inside, and just show you

2116
01:47:32,840 --> 01:47:34,439
Speaker 1: and the guy you know one on one. You can

2117
01:47:34,520 --> 01:47:36,479
Speaker 1: show your one on one and all that type of stuff.

2118
01:47:36,720 --> 01:47:39,280
Speaker 1: But let's get into this. This Uh this a twenty

2119
01:47:39,360 --> 01:47:42,679
Speaker 1: twenty season preview. You got the Texans first, where eleven

2120
01:47:42,800 --> 01:47:45,320
Speaker 1: days away from the Texans versus the Chiefs. Of course,

2121
01:47:45,400 --> 01:47:48,120
Speaker 1: we like to break down these schedules in fours. I

2122
01:47:48,160 --> 01:47:49,640
Speaker 1: think there's a lot of teams to do it this way.

2123
01:47:49,680 --> 01:47:51,400
Speaker 1: I believe you do it this way. Mark, I've heard

2124
01:47:51,439 --> 01:47:54,160
Speaker 1: you do these before. But uh, the Texans have they

2125
01:47:54,200 --> 01:47:55,920
Speaker 1: start off the season with the Chiefs on the road.

2126
01:47:55,960 --> 01:47:57,880
Speaker 1: You got the Ravens, the Stealers, and the Vikings. This

2127
01:47:58,200 --> 01:48:01,559
Speaker 1: first four games is a murderers role. It just got

2128
01:48:01,840 --> 01:48:06,360
Speaker 1: tougher because the Vikings just acquired Johannick and Dockway from

2129
01:48:06,360 --> 01:48:09,000
Speaker 1: the Jacksonville Jaguars, and that'll payoff dividends, I think for

2130
01:48:09,080 --> 01:48:11,320
Speaker 1: the Texans towards the back end of the schedule, but

2131
01:48:11,680 --> 01:48:14,519
Speaker 1: initially that's gonna it's gonna be a tough role from them.

2132
01:48:14,680 --> 01:48:16,800
Speaker 1: How do you see this shaking out? These first four

2133
01:48:16,920 --> 01:48:19,880
Speaker 1: games against the Chiefs, the Ravens, the Steelers, and the Vikings.

2134
01:48:20,439 --> 01:48:23,439
Speaker 1: I think you could play well and still go two

2135
01:48:23,479 --> 01:48:25,920
Speaker 1: and two, you know what I mean. These are tough teams,

2136
01:48:25,960 --> 01:48:28,240
Speaker 1: so you could you know, you could go out guns

2137
01:48:28,320 --> 01:48:31,280
Speaker 1: blazing against the Chiefs and lose thirty one to twenty eight.

2138
01:48:31,360 --> 01:48:32,920
Speaker 1: It was a hell of a game, but you lost,

2139
01:48:33,080 --> 01:48:34,920
Speaker 1: you know, and you played well, just like you did

2140
01:48:34,960 --> 01:48:37,280
Speaker 1: against the Saints last year. And look, you know, we

2141
01:48:37,320 --> 01:48:39,320
Speaker 1: could debate whether that was playing well or not. But

2142
01:48:39,439 --> 01:48:42,000
Speaker 1: they had the lead late, so could have, would have

2143
01:48:42,000 --> 01:48:44,200
Speaker 1: should have in that one. So I think you could

2144
01:48:44,240 --> 01:48:46,479
Speaker 1: have a couple of losses like that in the early

2145
01:48:46,520 --> 01:48:49,519
Speaker 1: going here, Not that I'm predicting that, but I liken

2146
01:48:49,640 --> 01:48:53,439
Speaker 1: this too, maybe a long road race where you don't

2147
01:48:53,520 --> 01:48:55,519
Speaker 1: need the lead right away. In fact, Johnny and I

2148
01:48:55,600 --> 01:48:58,439
Speaker 1: were breaking down the schedules of the Jags, Titans, and

2149
01:48:58,520 --> 01:49:01,439
Speaker 1: Cults in the first four games, and clearly the Texans

2150
01:49:01,479 --> 01:49:04,360
Speaker 1: have the hardest out of the gate, right So you know,

2151
01:49:04,520 --> 01:49:07,400
Speaker 1: after four games, if the Texans are in second or

2152
01:49:07,439 --> 01:49:09,920
Speaker 1: third or whatever, it is not time to freak out

2153
01:49:10,320 --> 01:49:12,680
Speaker 1: because it's all gonna depend on what you do in

2154
01:49:12,760 --> 01:49:15,080
Speaker 1: those final four games at the end of the year.

2155
01:49:15,080 --> 01:49:17,040
Speaker 1: But I know you guys know that. Yeah, no question

2156
01:49:17,080 --> 01:49:19,000
Speaker 1: about it. It's going to be tough for those guys

2157
01:49:19,080 --> 01:49:21,400
Speaker 1: to jump out to a league. It's gonna be very

2158
01:49:21,439 --> 01:49:23,840
Speaker 1: important for the guys to stay together if there's any

2159
01:49:23,880 --> 01:49:26,519
Speaker 1: issues that are gone, because, like like Mark said, they

2160
01:49:26,600 --> 01:49:29,960
Speaker 1: can very well play quality football games, play well and

2161
01:49:30,160 --> 01:49:32,760
Speaker 1: not come up on the winning end. Because you're playing

2162
01:49:32,760 --> 01:49:34,760
Speaker 1: against some of the best teams in the league and

2163
01:49:34,760 --> 01:49:36,600
Speaker 1: you're playing them back to back to back week So

2164
01:49:37,200 --> 01:49:38,880
Speaker 1: it'll be interesting to see how it shakes out there.

2165
01:49:38,920 --> 01:49:42,400
Speaker 1: The next four games. You have the Jaguars at home,

2166
01:49:42,479 --> 01:49:44,360
Speaker 1: and you got the Titans on the road, the Packers

2167
01:49:44,439 --> 01:49:46,680
Speaker 1: at home, and then you get a bye week and

2168
01:49:46,680 --> 01:49:49,360
Speaker 1: then you got the Jaguars on the road. Those that

2169
01:49:49,520 --> 01:49:54,040
Speaker 1: schedule looks a lot more palatable, a lot more enticing

2170
01:49:54,400 --> 01:49:56,439
Speaker 1: when you look at it from the perspective of the

2171
01:49:56,520 --> 01:49:59,000
Speaker 1: Houston Texans. Yeah, and I think that, you know, whenever

2172
01:49:59,000 --> 01:50:01,160
Speaker 1: you see the Jaguars a schedule, you know, people start

2173
01:50:01,240 --> 01:50:04,479
Speaker 1: saying when you know, but these aren't easy. You know

2174
01:50:04,680 --> 01:50:08,840
Speaker 1: last year Week two at home, there you are having

2175
01:50:08,920 --> 01:50:11,960
Speaker 1: to stop Fournette in a two point conversion try. So

2176
01:50:12,040 --> 01:50:14,519
Speaker 1: it's a two yard run attempt to buy Fournette to

2177
01:50:14,680 --> 01:50:17,040
Speaker 1: win the game for the Jaguars, and you made the stop.

2178
01:50:17,120 --> 01:50:19,759
Speaker 1: So that's great, but you were that close to losing

2179
01:50:19,800 --> 01:50:22,560
Speaker 1: that football game. That's what Jacksonville can do to you.

2180
01:50:23,120 --> 01:50:26,400
Speaker 1: So you can't take anything for granted. Here at Tennessee

2181
01:50:26,479 --> 01:50:29,400
Speaker 1: should be a war like it was last year late

2182
01:50:29,439 --> 01:50:31,439
Speaker 1: in the season when they got it and the Packers

2183
01:50:31,479 --> 01:50:33,720
Speaker 1: of the Packers. Now, the thing about green Bay, Yeah

2184
01:50:33,720 --> 01:50:36,320
Speaker 1: they went thirteen and three, but they know they need

2185
01:50:36,400 --> 01:50:39,200
Speaker 1: to get better because they went thirteen and three with

2186
01:50:39,240 --> 01:50:43,320
Speaker 1: an offense that statistically wasn't that great and defensively statistically

2187
01:50:43,400 --> 01:50:45,599
Speaker 1: wasn't that great, but they were really good in turnover margin,

2188
01:50:45,680 --> 01:50:47,720
Speaker 1: and you know, good for them. I mean, they went

2189
01:50:47,760 --> 01:50:49,559
Speaker 1: thirteen and three. I'd love to go thirteen to three.

2190
01:50:49,800 --> 01:50:53,639
Speaker 1: So it's a tough team to get Aaron Rodgers. You've

2191
01:50:53,840 --> 01:50:57,360
Speaker 1: never beaten the Packers at NRG Stadium. This is only

2192
01:50:57,439 --> 01:50:59,760
Speaker 1: the third ever visit for them. It was OZ four

2193
01:51:00,160 --> 01:51:02,519
Speaker 1: far and then twelve way. Do you remember that game

2194
01:51:02,560 --> 01:51:05,120
Speaker 1: on Sunday? That was a long day at the office.

2195
01:51:05,400 --> 01:51:09,720
Speaker 1: Tell you what that dank. Aaron Rodgers went to work

2196
01:51:09,800 --> 01:51:12,760
Speaker 1: and it wasn't. I mean, he put six touchdowns and

2197
01:51:13,200 --> 01:51:15,439
Speaker 1: it seemed like every time the coverage is right there,

2198
01:51:15,520 --> 01:51:17,479
Speaker 1: but he put it right where only the receiver you

2199
01:51:17,520 --> 01:51:19,760
Speaker 1: can get it. That was a long day at the office.

2200
01:51:20,240 --> 01:51:22,960
Speaker 1: It was ridiculous. And the five game was also a

2201
01:51:23,040 --> 01:51:25,960
Speaker 1: Sunday night game. It was the old ESPN Sunday Night Football.

2202
01:51:26,439 --> 01:51:28,560
Speaker 1: But that was a late field goal packer win. And

2203
01:51:28,880 --> 01:51:32,960
Speaker 1: look this they're always difficult. But you know again, um

2204
01:51:33,400 --> 01:51:35,960
Speaker 1: you could if you play well, you should go three

2205
01:51:36,000 --> 01:51:38,360
Speaker 1: and one, you feel, yeah, but you know two and

2206
01:51:38,479 --> 01:51:40,760
Speaker 1: two would not be a shocker there either. So you

2207
01:51:40,800 --> 01:51:44,760
Speaker 1: know at the halfway point, you could conceivably be four

2208
01:51:44,840 --> 01:51:47,040
Speaker 1: and four. And it's not even time to freak out.

2209
01:51:47,160 --> 01:51:49,640
Speaker 1: It really isn't, because I think the division is going

2210
01:51:49,680 --> 01:51:52,640
Speaker 1: to stay pretty close. Everybody's playing the AFC North at

2211
01:51:52,720 --> 01:51:55,080
Speaker 1: NFC North, and you have some tough games. Yeah, I

2212
01:51:55,200 --> 01:51:57,400
Speaker 1: tell you what, I'm looking at the first eight games.

2213
01:51:57,439 --> 01:52:00,360
Speaker 1: If the Texans can go five and three there ahead

2214
01:52:00,360 --> 01:52:01,880
Speaker 1: of the coach curve, I think if you go four

2215
01:52:01,920 --> 01:52:04,400
Speaker 1: and four, you should be excited right where you you know,

2216
01:52:04,520 --> 01:52:06,240
Speaker 1: you feel like you're in a good spot if you're

2217
01:52:06,320 --> 01:52:08,720
Speaker 1: if you're you know, below five hundred, now you got

2218
01:52:08,800 --> 01:52:11,000
Speaker 1: some cousbal concern. But if you're five and three in

2219
01:52:11,080 --> 01:52:13,320
Speaker 1: that first eight, to me, I think you're doing well

2220
01:52:13,640 --> 01:52:15,800
Speaker 1: for the Texan. The next four games, you got the

2221
01:52:15,840 --> 01:52:18,840
Speaker 1: Browns on the road, at the Patriots at home. You

2222
01:52:18,920 --> 01:52:21,840
Speaker 1: got Thanksgiving at Detroit, I think some five memories of

2223
01:52:21,920 --> 01:52:24,840
Speaker 1: their going there and back in twenty twelve, and then

2224
01:52:24,880 --> 01:52:27,160
Speaker 1: you got the Colts at home. And what do you

2225
01:52:27,200 --> 01:52:30,160
Speaker 1: think about those next four games? Mark, I think justin

2226
01:52:30,280 --> 01:52:32,880
Speaker 1: for set should be the honorary team captain of the

2227
01:52:33,160 --> 01:52:38,280
Speaker 1: Thanksgiving Kam. We can make Dad, that would be nice. Uh.

2228
01:52:38,800 --> 01:52:41,360
Speaker 1: I love going to Cleveland and we haven't been there enough.

2229
01:52:41,400 --> 01:52:43,439
Speaker 1: I know we went O seven, O eight, O two,

2230
01:52:43,880 --> 01:52:46,320
Speaker 1: and in fourteen. Those are the four trips to the Browns.

2231
01:52:46,720 --> 01:52:48,960
Speaker 1: I love going to Cleveland. There's just something about those

2232
01:52:49,040 --> 01:52:53,120
Speaker 1: fans in that city and it's just an NFL town. Uh. Look,

2233
01:52:53,160 --> 01:52:55,320
Speaker 1: who knows. I think that's a tough one to predict

2234
01:52:55,400 --> 01:52:58,160
Speaker 1: right now and say what the Patriots because is camp playing?

2235
01:52:58,320 --> 01:53:01,240
Speaker 1: Is he not what about those defensive opt outs? How

2236
01:53:01,280 --> 01:53:03,840
Speaker 1: does that play in? And you know, I I think

2237
01:53:03,920 --> 01:53:07,200
Speaker 1: between the second four and the third four, one of

2238
01:53:07,240 --> 01:53:09,360
Speaker 1: those is going to be a three and one. So

2239
01:53:09,560 --> 01:53:11,880
Speaker 1: what does that put our record at? Right now? Okay,

2240
01:53:14,400 --> 01:53:18,479
Speaker 1: seven and six? Wait, no, No, three is eight and four?

2241
01:53:20,640 --> 01:53:23,360
Speaker 1: Six and six? All right, I'll take seven and five

2242
01:53:23,439 --> 01:53:26,880
Speaker 1: because I think the I think the final stretch is

2243
01:53:27,439 --> 01:53:31,200
Speaker 1: very revealing here. Yeah, the final stretch. You got the

2244
01:53:31,280 --> 01:53:33,400
Speaker 1: Bears on the road, you got the Colts on the road,

2245
01:53:33,800 --> 01:53:35,760
Speaker 1: and you got the Bengals and the Titans at home.

2246
01:53:35,880 --> 01:53:39,120
Speaker 1: And normally it seems like that Titan game is one

2247
01:53:39,160 --> 01:53:41,080
Speaker 1: of those games it doesn't matter for the Texans. And

2248
01:53:41,120 --> 01:53:43,080
Speaker 1: I'm going way back to when I was with the Texans,

2249
01:53:43,160 --> 01:53:46,000
Speaker 1: and you even saw it last year. But how do

2250
01:53:46,040 --> 01:53:48,880
Speaker 1: you see those last four games shaking out? Well, let's

2251
01:53:48,920 --> 01:53:51,080
Speaker 1: just let's go on. If you know, you're eight, you're

2252
01:53:51,200 --> 01:53:53,840
Speaker 1: seven and five, and you go three and four down

2253
01:53:53,880 --> 01:53:55,760
Speaker 1: the stretch here, I mean you go three and one

2254
01:53:55,840 --> 01:53:58,720
Speaker 1: rather down the stretch, so now you're ten and six. Well,

2255
01:53:58,760 --> 01:54:01,840
Speaker 1: you guys like if I'm if, I'm let's make a right,

2256
01:54:01,920 --> 01:54:04,360
Speaker 1: I'm Wayne Brady, I'm Monty Hall, I say, will you

2257
01:54:04,479 --> 01:54:07,160
Speaker 1: take ten and six or the unknown? Which will you

2258
01:54:07,240 --> 01:54:10,360
Speaker 1: take this year? I'm taking the tenancee. I'm taking ten

2259
01:54:10,439 --> 01:54:13,040
Speaker 1: and six. Easy. Yeah, me too. And look look at us.

2260
01:54:13,080 --> 01:54:15,840
Speaker 1: We were struggling there at five hundred and a halfway point,

2261
01:54:15,880 --> 01:54:17,800
Speaker 1: we were seven and five and oh my gosh, where's

2262
01:54:17,840 --> 01:54:20,080
Speaker 1: this going. You finish three and one and now you're

2263
01:54:20,120 --> 01:54:22,600
Speaker 1: ten and six and that's a nice thing. Now. That

2264
01:54:22,840 --> 01:54:24,840
Speaker 1: might not win the division, but I think it does.

2265
01:54:24,960 --> 01:54:27,519
Speaker 1: I think ten and six wins the AFC South because

Speaker 1: joined by Cecil Short, six year NFL. That two former

2416
02:02:49,920 --> 02:02:53,160
Speaker 1: Texans holding you down at six o'clock. And right now

2417
02:02:53,280 --> 02:02:58,280
Speaker 1: we have John Harris on the phone, Texans Sideline Analysts,

2418
02:02:58,720 --> 02:03:00,760
Speaker 1: the guy that gives you all the excellence and ols

2419
02:03:00,760 --> 02:03:03,760
Speaker 1: when it comes to what's going on over there at NRG. John,

2420
02:03:03,800 --> 02:03:06,520
Speaker 1: how you doing this afternoon? Doing pretty well? Boy, It's

2421
02:03:06,520 --> 02:03:09,040
Speaker 1: not as good as Zach Cuttingham, but doing pretty well, nonetheless,

2422
02:03:09,240 --> 02:03:12,160
Speaker 1: no question about it. He's doing He's doing very very well.

2423
02:03:12,240 --> 02:03:14,680
Speaker 1: Like fifty eight million reasons why I think he's well?

2424
02:03:15,160 --> 02:03:18,120
Speaker 1: Was your initial thoughts when you heard that Zach Hunningham

2425
02:03:18,200 --> 02:03:22,040
Speaker 1: got his deal done about eleven days before the Texans

2426
02:03:22,080 --> 02:03:25,560
Speaker 1: take on a change. Kancity chiefs. Good now, let's getting

2427
02:03:25,600 --> 02:03:28,400
Speaker 1: number four done and we'll have our core set for

2428
02:03:28,440 --> 02:03:30,760
Speaker 1: a while. And that to me is the thing I

2429
02:03:31,200 --> 02:03:33,720
Speaker 1: saw on Twitter. You know it's interesting because I saw

2430
02:03:33,760 --> 02:03:36,200
Speaker 1: a couple of a couple of posts on Twitter. One

2431
02:03:36,400 --> 02:03:38,920
Speaker 1: was from PFF saying that Zach Cuttingham at the NFL

2432
02:03:39,000 --> 02:03:42,240
Speaker 1: A defensive stops last year. And if you've watched Zach

2433
02:03:42,280 --> 02:03:45,840
Speaker 1: Cuttingham closely, if you really truly watched Zach cutting him closely,

2434
02:03:46,240 --> 02:03:48,960
Speaker 1: you know how good an inside linebacker he is. And

2435
02:03:49,200 --> 02:03:51,839
Speaker 1: I say this, and I don't say it without without

2436
02:03:51,920 --> 02:03:54,520
Speaker 1: knowing exactly what I'm saying, and that is I don't.

2437
02:03:54,560 --> 02:03:56,920
Speaker 1: I wouldn't take an inside linebacker in the NFL over

2438
02:03:57,080 --> 02:04:00,680
Speaker 1: Zach Cuttingham. Now are there guys that are maybe better

2439
02:04:01,000 --> 02:04:04,760
Speaker 1: or better put more well known than him? Sure, everybody

2440
02:04:04,800 --> 02:04:07,000
Speaker 1: knows about Bobby Wagner, now you know he's gonna playing

2441
02:04:07,000 --> 02:04:09,879
Speaker 1: for the Seahawks for forever. But is there a linebacker

2442
02:04:09,920 --> 02:04:12,960
Speaker 1: where you would go, Oh, I would definitively take that

2443
02:04:13,160 --> 02:04:16,760
Speaker 1: guy over Zach. There isn't one. And I saw another

2444
02:04:16,840 --> 02:04:19,800
Speaker 1: post a couple posts below that said, no, this is

2445
02:04:19,840 --> 02:04:21,960
Speaker 1: a this is a great deal for a good player.

2446
02:04:22,000 --> 02:04:25,440
Speaker 1: I'm like, good player good. You could argue that Zach

2447
02:04:25,480 --> 02:04:28,800
Speaker 1: Cunningham has been our best player on defense. The last

2448
02:04:28,840 --> 02:04:30,760
Speaker 1: couple of years now, some people said, well, last year,

2449
02:04:30,800 --> 02:04:32,480
Speaker 1: what's that? What's that really mean? Because it was a

2450
02:04:32,560 --> 02:04:34,480
Speaker 1: defense that was in the I don't know, twenty six,

2451
02:04:34,560 --> 02:04:36,360
Speaker 1: twenty seven, twenty eighth, whatever it was in the league.

2452
02:04:36,920 --> 02:04:40,000
Speaker 1: Guess where it would be without him. If Zach Cunningham

2453
02:04:40,040 --> 02:04:41,880
Speaker 1: was the type of guy that got on Twitter, got

2454
02:04:41,920 --> 02:04:44,920
Speaker 1: on Instagram, kept talking about getting that bag and yeah,

2455
02:04:44,960 --> 02:04:46,600
Speaker 1: you're gonna be seeing me show up in a brings

2456
02:04:46,640 --> 02:04:49,040
Speaker 1: truck like Ramsey did at Jacksonville practice and he was

2457
02:04:49,080 --> 02:04:52,400
Speaker 1: bragging Oshio about what he did. Everybody, every sure as

2458
02:04:52,440 --> 02:04:55,879
Speaker 1: hell would know about Zach Cunningham. But Zach doesn't say anything.

2459
02:04:56,040 --> 02:04:58,520
Speaker 1: He doesn't say a word about any of that. He

2460
02:04:58,560 --> 02:05:01,720
Speaker 1: didn't pump himself up, He doesn't really celebrate after plays.

2461
02:05:02,080 --> 02:05:03,600
Speaker 1: He just goes on and does his job, and you

2462
02:05:03,640 --> 02:05:05,920
Speaker 1: look up and go, huh, Zach out of the twelve tackles,

2463
02:05:05,960 --> 02:05:08,200
Speaker 1: a past break up in a sack today, just doing

2464
02:05:08,240 --> 02:05:10,640
Speaker 1: his job, and you'd never know it. You'd never know it.

2465
02:05:11,040 --> 02:05:13,320
Speaker 1: But as soon as somebody has three tackles, a sack

2466
02:05:13,400 --> 02:05:15,920
Speaker 1: and maybe a bad pass the line of scrimmage, they're

2467
02:05:15,920 --> 02:05:19,200
Speaker 1: on Instagram saying, yeah, rising grind, baby, Rising Grind, that's

2468
02:05:19,240 --> 02:05:21,400
Speaker 1: all I do is rising ground. Like come on, man,

2469
02:05:21,920 --> 02:05:25,240
Speaker 1: like really like, if that Gunningham said all that that nonsense,

2470
02:05:25,320 --> 02:05:28,280
Speaker 1: he was more of a public figure like that, everybody'd

2471
02:05:28,320 --> 02:05:30,080
Speaker 1: be going, this is a whale of a deal man

2472
02:05:30,280 --> 02:05:32,280
Speaker 1: to get this guy for a fifty eight million for

2473
02:05:32,360 --> 02:05:34,400
Speaker 1: four years and his guarantees are only twenty three and

2474
02:05:34,400 --> 02:05:36,400
Speaker 1: a half or whatever it is. Yeah, come on, man,

2475
02:05:36,440 --> 02:05:38,360
Speaker 1: it's a great deal. It's a great deal for the Texans,

2476
02:05:38,400 --> 02:05:41,120
Speaker 1: is an excellent deal for Zach And you're saying, oh,

2477
02:05:41,240 --> 02:05:43,640
Speaker 1: this is this is just emblematic what the Texas do. Yeah,

2478
02:05:43,680 --> 02:05:46,080
Speaker 1: they give money to players that they have developed, and

2479
02:05:46,160 --> 02:05:48,400
Speaker 1: a guy that has developed into arguably one of the

2480
02:05:48,480 --> 02:05:50,440
Speaker 1: better inside linebackers in the game. They could do so

2481
02:05:50,520 --> 02:05:53,480
Speaker 1: many different things for your team. Come on, man, get

2482
02:05:53,520 --> 02:05:57,200
Speaker 1: off that. Get off that rising grind hashtag. I love

2483
02:05:57,280 --> 02:06:00,000
Speaker 1: your energy right there. I would just mean way just

2484
02:06:00,160 --> 02:06:03,040
Speaker 1: talking about it, and not to bash Jacksonville, But Jacksonville

2485
02:06:03,360 --> 02:06:05,840
Speaker 1: helped develop Jalen Ramsey and they don't have no more.

2486
02:06:05,880 --> 02:06:08,720
Speaker 1: They help developed Yanick and I can't say his last name,

2487
02:06:08,800 --> 02:06:11,440
Speaker 1: and he's not there. The more they have developed Alan Robinson,

2488
02:06:11,560 --> 02:06:13,080
Speaker 1: he's not there. The more so when you can keep

2489
02:06:13,120 --> 02:06:15,480
Speaker 1: a core guy. He's going to be in your building

2490
02:06:15,520 --> 02:06:17,440
Speaker 1: for the next five years. And he's young. As young

2491
02:06:17,480 --> 02:06:19,080
Speaker 1: as he is, and he's one of the top guys

2492
02:06:19,080 --> 02:06:21,200
Speaker 1: in this position. It's a big deal. But going back

2493
02:06:21,240 --> 02:06:24,080
Speaker 1: to core right, and and I want to keep I

2494
02:06:24,160 --> 02:06:26,160
Speaker 1: want to bring this guy's name because I keep hearing it,

2495
02:06:26,240 --> 02:06:28,160
Speaker 1: I keep reading about it. I keep he would be

2496
02:06:28,360 --> 02:06:30,480
Speaker 1: telling me how great of a camp he's having. You

2497
02:06:30,600 --> 02:06:34,880
Speaker 1: wrote about it last week. A J. Moore? Please, what

2498
02:06:35,120 --> 02:06:36,840
Speaker 1: is going on with him? What is he doing that

2499
02:06:36,960 --> 02:06:41,160
Speaker 1: standing out so much? Well, I think the right question

2500
02:06:41,360 --> 02:06:43,320
Speaker 1: she would be, what is he not doing? I mean

2501
02:06:43,360 --> 02:06:47,040
Speaker 1: this guy, I mean he's he's doing. He doing a

2502
02:06:47,080 --> 02:06:48,680
Speaker 1: little bit of everything. I mean, look, we claimed on

2503
02:06:48,760 --> 02:06:50,680
Speaker 1: waivers in twenty eighteen, so we didn't even have a

2504
02:06:50,800 --> 02:06:54,080
Speaker 1: chance to see him practice, so we didn't really know

2505
02:06:55,120 --> 02:06:57,160
Speaker 1: where you fit on the team. He's like, yeah, look,

2506
02:06:57,240 --> 02:06:59,240
Speaker 1: it's cool. I'll just go on special teams. I'll show

2507
02:06:59,280 --> 02:07:01,520
Speaker 1: y'all sixteen games. He dominates on special teams. So he

2508
02:07:01,560 --> 02:07:03,960
Speaker 1: comes back last year in training camp and he starts

2509
02:07:04,000 --> 02:07:06,960
Speaker 1: to show us, hey, you know, I can't play a

2510
02:07:06,960 --> 02:07:09,000
Speaker 1: little bit of defense. And he had really good momentum

2511
02:07:09,040 --> 02:07:11,400
Speaker 1: going for like the first week and a half and

2512
02:07:11,600 --> 02:07:14,400
Speaker 1: then it just kind of leveled off, and then he

2513
02:07:14,520 --> 02:07:17,040
Speaker 1: just really kind of was trudging up hill all year.

2514
02:07:17,120 --> 02:07:19,200
Speaker 1: But he finally by the end of the year got

2515
02:07:19,240 --> 02:07:22,720
Speaker 1: an opportunity to get out on defense and play kind

2516
02:07:22,760 --> 02:07:25,640
Speaker 1: of the money spot, you know, in dime and in

2517
02:07:25,960 --> 02:07:27,640
Speaker 1: in the Bills game. He makes a couple of big

2518
02:07:27,760 --> 02:07:30,840
Speaker 1: plays on defense in the Bills game, and he just

2519
02:07:31,000 --> 02:07:33,600
Speaker 1: has gotten better and better and better, and he knows

2520
02:07:33,680 --> 02:07:35,920
Speaker 1: what his role is, and I think that's key. He

2521
02:07:36,040 --> 02:07:37,480
Speaker 1: knows who his roles and his role is to be.

2522
02:07:37,680 --> 02:07:40,040
Speaker 1: He knows he's supposed to be and is one of

2523
02:07:40,080 --> 02:07:42,400
Speaker 1: the key special teams for this team. But he also knows, Hey,

2524
02:07:42,600 --> 02:07:44,560
Speaker 1: if I can impact this game in some way shape

2525
02:07:44,640 --> 02:07:46,640
Speaker 1: or forming a defensive side, I'm gonna do it. So

2526
02:07:47,160 --> 02:07:49,120
Speaker 1: the one thing I think he has done, probably better

2527
02:07:49,440 --> 02:07:53,360
Speaker 1: than he's done before, Cecilia's coverage. He's been really good

2528
02:07:53,400 --> 02:07:56,560
Speaker 1: in coverage. He has been he has been stuck in

2529
02:07:56,680 --> 02:07:58,960
Speaker 1: man coverage, and stuck not the right word, but he's

2530
02:07:59,000 --> 02:08:01,360
Speaker 1: had man coverage on tight dance down the scene. I

2531
02:08:01,400 --> 02:08:03,680
Speaker 1: don't know how many times I've seen him, and he's

2532
02:08:03,720 --> 02:08:05,920
Speaker 1: come up with a couple of interceptions. Through the last

2533
02:08:05,960 --> 02:08:09,040
Speaker 1: couple of weeks he's come up with breakups. He had

2534
02:08:09,040 --> 02:08:13,440
Speaker 1: an interception in the scrimmage that was like, whoa, he

2535
02:08:13,720 --> 02:08:16,360
Speaker 1: blitz the other day. And you know, it's funny. You know,

2536
02:08:16,440 --> 02:08:18,800
Speaker 1: we talk about we talk about blitzing, and we talk

2537
02:08:18,840 --> 02:08:22,160
Speaker 1: about it as a scheme thing, but a good blitz

2538
02:08:22,320 --> 02:08:25,520
Speaker 1: is as much on the blitzer as it is anything else.

2539
02:08:25,840 --> 02:08:28,760
Speaker 1: The timing, do you know, the timing. And it's funny

2540
02:08:28,760 --> 02:08:30,080
Speaker 1: because I was out of a conversation with Jack he

2541
02:08:30,120 --> 02:08:31,959
Speaker 1: should be the other day and he being with the Patriots,

2542
02:08:32,120 --> 02:08:33,920
Speaker 1: he brought up Logan Ryan and I was like, well,

2543
02:08:34,000 --> 02:08:38,320
Speaker 1: that's perfect because Logan Ryan was a really good blitzer.

2544
02:08:38,440 --> 02:08:42,600
Speaker 1: He made the blitz because of his timing and where

2545
02:08:42,720 --> 02:08:45,560
Speaker 1: he knew to go, Like he could change his path

2546
02:08:45,960 --> 02:08:48,640
Speaker 1: from B gap or right C gap to B gap

2547
02:08:48,680 --> 02:08:50,640
Speaker 1: if he needs to on the fly, but he could

2548
02:08:50,680 --> 02:08:53,080
Speaker 1: hit that blitz. He had the right timing, he knew

2549
02:08:53,080 --> 02:08:55,960
Speaker 1: how to get there as quickly as possible. He could

2550
02:08:55,960 --> 02:08:58,080
Speaker 1: actually take on a block in the backfield. Two. We've

2551
02:08:58,080 --> 02:09:00,600
Speaker 1: seen Aj do that too with the blitz. He is

2552
02:09:00,640 --> 02:09:03,520
Speaker 1: really good about timing it up and getting there at

2553
02:09:03,560 --> 02:09:06,680
Speaker 1: the right exact moment when he needs to. And then

2554
02:09:06,720 --> 02:09:09,000
Speaker 1: the other day he blitzed in the scrimmage, and I

2555
02:09:09,120 --> 02:09:12,720
Speaker 1: mean he and I think it was Karen Higden Man.

2556
02:09:13,080 --> 02:09:16,440
Speaker 1: They collided and I want to say, well, Karan accepted

2557
02:09:16,480 --> 02:09:19,400
Speaker 1: the blow more than than than AJ did, because AJ

2558
02:09:19,640 --> 02:09:23,320
Speaker 1: delivered that thing, and AJ was able to strike and

2559
02:09:23,440 --> 02:09:25,920
Speaker 1: get off and actually kind of impact the throw at

2560
02:09:25,960 --> 02:09:28,800
Speaker 1: that point from Aj McCarn So he's doing a lot

2561
02:09:28,880 --> 02:09:32,760
Speaker 1: of the things that you know, coverage has been good.

2562
02:09:32,840 --> 02:09:34,480
Speaker 1: I don't know if he's ever gonna be used to

2563
02:09:34,600 --> 02:09:36,520
Speaker 1: be like, Okay, we put Aj more out in the

2564
02:09:36,560 --> 02:09:39,040
Speaker 1: field to cover somebody specifically like that, that's what we do.

2565
02:09:39,160 --> 02:09:41,040
Speaker 1: I don't know if he'll be that guy, but I

2566
02:09:41,120 --> 02:09:43,000
Speaker 1: think he'll be kind of jack of all trades guy.

2567
02:09:43,280 --> 02:09:44,760
Speaker 1: And what do you you know who he reminds me

2568
02:09:44,880 --> 02:09:48,360
Speaker 1: of as a former teammate of yours, guy's Eddie Pleasant.

2569
02:09:48,840 --> 02:09:50,880
Speaker 1: You know, Eddie was a guy that in college played

2570
02:09:51,480 --> 02:09:54,440
Speaker 1: safety one year, then the linebacker and in safety and

2571
02:09:54,480 --> 02:09:57,040
Speaker 1: then back the linebacker. And he was kind of built

2572
02:09:57,280 --> 02:10:00,360
Speaker 1: in like a safety linebacker body and he's almost the

2573
02:10:00,400 --> 02:10:03,160
Speaker 1: same dimensions I think as Aj. And then Eddie would

2574
02:10:03,200 --> 02:10:06,720
Speaker 1: come here and he would play all special teams, and

2575
02:10:06,880 --> 02:10:10,160
Speaker 1: then he would end up as the money, the money,

2576
02:10:10,240 --> 02:10:13,480
Speaker 1: spot and dime, and he would play coverage. Sometimes sometimes

2577
02:10:13,520 --> 02:10:15,800
Speaker 1: he would blitz, sometimes he would stuff to draw. He

2578
02:10:15,880 --> 02:10:18,640
Speaker 1: just did a bunch of little things that added up

2579
02:10:18,680 --> 02:10:20,440
Speaker 1: and you go, wow, he's really made an impact. And

2580
02:10:20,520 --> 02:10:23,640
Speaker 1: I think about Eddie the night we played the Patriots

2581
02:10:24,040 --> 02:10:28,040
Speaker 1: in the playoff divisional playoff game up there, it's seventeen, no,

2582
02:10:28,160 --> 02:10:31,800
Speaker 1: we're up seventeen. I can't remember what it was, but

2583
02:10:32,360 --> 02:10:34,960
Speaker 1: it was seventeen sixteen fourteen, and it looked like they

2584
02:10:35,040 --> 02:10:36,440
Speaker 1: were gonna score, and they got down on the goal

2585
02:10:36,480 --> 02:10:38,760
Speaker 1: line and he makes two huge plays the goal line

2586
02:10:39,520 --> 02:10:41,400
Speaker 1: that forced them into a field goal. And it's only

2587
02:10:41,480 --> 02:10:43,800
Speaker 1: seventeen sixteen at the half, when it could have been

2588
02:10:43,880 --> 02:10:45,960
Speaker 1: twenty to sixteen at the half or twenty one to

2589
02:10:46,080 --> 02:10:47,640
Speaker 1: sixteen at a half, and it would have been you know,

2590
02:10:47,840 --> 02:10:50,480
Speaker 1: who knows what happens at that point. Now Brock happened later,

2591
02:10:50,560 --> 02:10:53,040
Speaker 1: but that's a different story. Eddie makes two huge plays,

2592
02:10:53,720 --> 02:10:55,680
Speaker 1: and I remember talking to Bill at half time as

2593
02:10:55,680 --> 02:10:57,640
Speaker 1: they're going in and he mentions, he's like, Eddie pleasant

2594
02:10:57,680 --> 02:10:59,400
Speaker 1: making those two big plays. That to me is kind

2595
02:10:59,400 --> 02:11:01,840
Speaker 1: of a player they looking for since Eddie left in

2596
02:11:01,920 --> 02:11:05,120
Speaker 1: a more athletic AJ Moore. I think that's what they

2597
02:11:05,200 --> 02:11:07,080
Speaker 1: have is a guy that can do that and play

2598
02:11:07,200 --> 02:11:09,240
Speaker 1: that role that Eddie played for them. Well that was

2599
02:11:09,320 --> 02:11:11,919
Speaker 1: really indispensable. So I think Aj is a better athlete

2600
02:11:12,280 --> 02:11:14,280
Speaker 1: that can play that role. I love what a J.

2601
02:11:14,440 --> 02:11:17,360
Speaker 1: Moore brings. Sticking on the defensive side of the ball,

2602
02:11:18,120 --> 02:11:22,000
Speaker 1: you know, the interior pass rush was a big deal

2603
02:11:22,800 --> 02:11:25,680
Speaker 1: this offseason trying to improve that. You got guys like

2604
02:11:25,800 --> 02:11:27,920
Speaker 1: Charles and many who Ross Black Block of course that

2605
02:11:28,720 --> 02:11:31,080
Speaker 1: was drafted in the high in the second round for

2606
02:11:31,160 --> 02:11:34,000
Speaker 1: the Texans. Was there anybody that is on the roster

2607
02:11:34,120 --> 02:11:36,200
Speaker 1: besides those two guys that you say, all right, they

2608
02:11:36,280 --> 02:11:39,880
Speaker 1: got some juice when it comes to interior pass rust

2609
02:11:39,920 --> 02:11:42,440
Speaker 1: that would maybe haven't seen because we haven't seen anything

2610
02:11:42,560 --> 02:11:44,720
Speaker 1: John everything that we're getting the second hand information. I

2611
02:11:44,760 --> 02:11:46,320
Speaker 1: haven't been able to go out to training camp. Is

2612
02:11:46,360 --> 02:11:49,120
Speaker 1: there anybody that you're kind of seeing there that they

2613
02:11:49,160 --> 02:11:52,360
Speaker 1: could potentially fill that role? Well, you know, from a

2614
02:11:52,840 --> 02:11:56,800
Speaker 1: from a Pastorage standpoint, I think Ross Ross, Ross and

2615
02:11:56,960 --> 02:11:59,040
Speaker 1: Charles are gonna be two guys Russ from the interior.

2616
02:11:59,080 --> 02:12:00,920
Speaker 1: I think those are gonna be the guys rusher from

2617
02:12:00,960 --> 02:12:03,360
Speaker 1: the interior, and I think they're gonna be pretty good.

2618
02:12:03,480 --> 02:12:07,400
Speaker 1: Now I've said, I've said all along that if the

2619
02:12:07,480 --> 02:12:11,520
Speaker 1: guy's on the edge, Jacob Martin, Whitney, Merciless, brand Scarlett,

2620
02:12:11,560 --> 02:12:13,520
Speaker 1: I really wish Duke edge for but gotta get John

2621
02:12:13,520 --> 02:12:15,240
Speaker 1: Grenard back. He's gonna be key to this. But if

2622
02:12:15,280 --> 02:12:16,800
Speaker 1: the guys in the edge show that they can win

2623
02:12:16,840 --> 02:12:20,440
Speaker 1: out on the edge and win consistently, then you have

2624
02:12:20,600 --> 02:12:24,960
Speaker 1: the luxury of moving JJ inside where you get JJ

2625
02:12:25,160 --> 02:12:28,080
Speaker 1: one on one on a guard, it's double swipe, rip

2626
02:12:28,200 --> 02:12:30,760
Speaker 1: under and away you go. He's getting to the quarterback.

2627
02:12:30,800 --> 02:12:33,080
Speaker 1: And I think that's a that's a great advantage. But

2628
02:12:33,480 --> 02:12:35,400
Speaker 1: you have to have guys went in from the edge

2629
02:12:35,440 --> 02:12:37,800
Speaker 1: to be able to allow JJ to move to move

2630
02:12:37,880 --> 02:12:42,360
Speaker 1: inside or even maybe not align inside, but loop inside

2631
02:12:42,440 --> 02:12:44,120
Speaker 1: like he did a few times last year. In fact

2632
02:12:44,160 --> 02:12:46,680
Speaker 1: interception and Whatdy mercill has had against the Saints, JJ

2633
02:12:46,880 --> 02:12:49,040
Speaker 1: looped inside and got in Drew Brees's face, moved them,

2634
02:12:49,400 --> 02:12:51,280
Speaker 1: moved them off the point and he throws the interception

2635
02:12:51,960 --> 02:12:53,800
Speaker 1: and that was huge in that game against the Saints

2636
02:12:53,840 --> 02:12:57,880
Speaker 1: early on. That's an advantage you have now, I think

2637
02:12:57,920 --> 02:13:01,120
Speaker 1: Albert Huggins has had a pretty good camp, but it's

2638
02:13:01,160 --> 02:13:03,960
Speaker 1: really been holding up against the run, probably more so

2639
02:13:04,160 --> 02:13:07,520
Speaker 1: than it's been rushing. The guy that has some dynamic

2640
02:13:07,640 --> 02:13:11,640
Speaker 1: ability and when you hear it, you're gonna be like, wait,

2641
02:13:11,720 --> 02:13:16,400
Speaker 1: what is PJ Hall? But it's I don't don't, I

2642
02:13:16,480 --> 02:13:20,080
Speaker 1: don't know. You know, he just worries me because he's

2643
02:13:20,080 --> 02:13:22,640
Speaker 1: a guy that and I covered him at sam Houston State.

2644
02:13:22,680 --> 02:13:24,880
Speaker 1: I called maybe six or seven of his games, and

2645
02:13:25,360 --> 02:13:27,600
Speaker 1: he was a guy that it's third down and you

2646
02:13:27,680 --> 02:13:30,160
Speaker 1: needed to have a play and PJ was gonna blow

2647
02:13:30,240 --> 02:13:32,320
Speaker 1: up three blockers. It gets to a quarterback and you're

2648
02:13:32,360 --> 02:13:35,160
Speaker 1: like your speech that's like, oh my god. But then

2649
02:13:35,320 --> 02:13:38,240
Speaker 1: for the next ten plays, you like PJ would just

2650
02:13:38,440 --> 02:13:40,960
Speaker 1: kind of go with the flow. He's got the ability

2651
02:13:41,040 --> 02:13:44,320
Speaker 1: to do it, he's got the leverage in the athleticism.

2652
02:13:44,400 --> 02:13:47,000
Speaker 1: His proje at sam Houston State was unbelievable and it's

2653
02:13:47,040 --> 02:13:49,680
Speaker 1: why the Raiders drafted him in the second round. But

2654
02:13:50,000 --> 02:13:52,320
Speaker 1: for some reason with the Raiders that never stuck. And

2655
02:13:52,360 --> 02:13:53,920
Speaker 1: then you hear Gruden say, well, you know, he's got

2656
02:13:54,000 --> 02:13:56,000
Speaker 1: to get himself in shape, he's got to get back

2657
02:13:56,800 --> 02:13:58,960
Speaker 1: in the right frame, and I think if he were,

2658
02:13:59,360 --> 02:14:01,240
Speaker 1: then I think j would be that guy. But I

2659
02:14:01,360 --> 02:14:04,440
Speaker 1: just don't know. I think he's really shown enough to

2660
02:14:04,520 --> 02:14:06,640
Speaker 1: do it. But I think he's got the ability to

2661
02:14:06,720 --> 02:14:09,760
Speaker 1: do it. That's that's the thing. But I just don't

2662
02:14:09,920 --> 02:14:12,080
Speaker 1: I mean, you guys know as much as anything. I mean,

2663
02:14:12,120 --> 02:14:14,120
Speaker 1: you've seen talented guys in the league that just never

2664
02:14:14,240 --> 02:14:16,960
Speaker 1: came together for him, and they got shot after shot

2665
02:14:17,040 --> 02:14:19,800
Speaker 1: after shot, and they just never worked. So I think

2666
02:14:19,840 --> 02:14:23,640
Speaker 1: the guys that have been there, Charles and Ross, I

2667
02:14:23,760 --> 02:14:26,880
Speaker 1: think have been the two best guys on the interior,

2668
02:14:27,000 --> 02:14:28,680
Speaker 1: you know, with Donnie even Blacks and I think you're

2669
02:14:28,680 --> 02:14:32,360
Speaker 1: gonna get good run stuffer. That's what good run stuffs,

2670
02:14:32,400 --> 02:14:35,840
Speaker 1: that's what they do. I think your more dynamic move

2671
02:14:35,960 --> 02:14:38,320
Speaker 1: is when you can move JJ inside to put with

2672
02:14:38,560 --> 02:14:41,400
Speaker 1: Charles and or Ross. I think that's gonna be your

2673
02:14:41,440 --> 02:14:44,160
Speaker 1: interior pass rush that creates some missue. But I think

2674
02:14:44,200 --> 02:14:47,040
Speaker 1: beyond that, I mean, I think Huggins has had a

2675
02:14:47,120 --> 02:14:49,400
Speaker 1: good camp, but I don't know that. You know, Carlos

2676
02:14:49,440 --> 02:14:52,520
Speaker 1: Watkins is a guy that the very first pass rush

2677
02:14:52,600 --> 02:14:54,600
Speaker 1: of the game, he'll look dominant, but then after that

2678
02:14:54,760 --> 02:14:58,800
Speaker 1: it's just it just kind of dies out. So I

2679
02:14:58,960 --> 02:15:01,360
Speaker 1: think if he really were to come along, boy, that

2680
02:15:01,400 --> 02:15:04,680
Speaker 1: would really help them out. But it just hasn't. It hasn't,

2681
02:15:05,320 --> 02:15:08,880
Speaker 1: hasn't gotten there yet, and I think I think maybe

2682
02:15:08,880 --> 02:15:10,480
Speaker 1: he's out of chances. I don't know. This is year

2683
02:15:10,760 --> 02:15:13,960
Speaker 1: three for him. It hasn't clicked yet. Maybe it's time

2684
02:15:13,960 --> 02:15:15,880
Speaker 1: to move on and let Ross and Charles really dominate

2685
02:15:15,920 --> 02:15:17,800
Speaker 1: the middle when it comes to the pass rush. Yeah.

2686
02:15:17,840 --> 02:15:19,440
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what, man, when you talk about this

2687
02:15:19,560 --> 02:15:22,080
Speaker 1: defense this year, there's a lot of questions that people

2688
02:15:22,240 --> 02:15:24,320
Speaker 1: don't really have the answers to, and we're gonna find

2689
02:15:24,320 --> 02:15:27,080
Speaker 1: them out sooner. Sooner or later. We're eleven days away

2690
02:15:27,240 --> 02:15:30,200
Speaker 1: from the Texans taking on the biggest test that they're

2691
02:15:30,240 --> 02:15:33,280
Speaker 1: gonna see, at least on paper this season as far

2692
02:15:33,360 --> 02:15:35,880
Speaker 1: as a top notch offense in the Kansas City Chiefs.

2693
02:15:35,920 --> 02:15:37,720
Speaker 1: And so we got some new pieces that are in place,

2694
02:15:37,800 --> 02:15:39,839
Speaker 1: and got a lot of guys coming back. Zach Huntingham,

2695
02:15:39,840 --> 02:15:42,839
Speaker 1: of course, is one of them. Just sign an extension

2696
02:15:42,880 --> 02:15:45,360
Speaker 1: with the Texans four years, fifty eight million. So we'll

2697
02:15:45,360 --> 02:15:47,840
Speaker 1: see how those guys match up when they head up

2698
02:15:47,920 --> 02:15:51,720
Speaker 1: to Kansas City. Mentioned it earlier, kind of got off track.

2699
02:15:51,760 --> 02:15:53,120
Speaker 1: We had to flip it. We had a quick turnover.

2700
02:15:53,160 --> 02:15:55,040
Speaker 1: We had a quick turnover, so we had to change

2701
02:15:55,080 --> 02:15:56,960
Speaker 1: and get that stop. We did. We did a good

2702
02:15:57,040 --> 02:15:59,200
Speaker 1: job of holding it down on the defensive side of

2703
02:15:59,200 --> 02:16:01,040
Speaker 1: the ball. We're gonna up and go to the offense

2704
02:16:01,680 --> 02:16:04,760
Speaker 1: after the break. Shaun Watson. It's gonna have a bunch

2705
02:16:04,840 --> 02:16:08,840
Speaker 1: of targets this season. Who emerges as his favorite. We'll

2706
02:16:08,880 --> 02:16:14,280
Speaker 1: get John on it next. For the most in depth

2707
02:16:14,360 --> 02:16:17,720
Speaker 1: coverage of your favorite team and players, check out Houston

2708
02:16:17,840 --> 02:16:22,760
Speaker 1: Texans dot com. I want to start an argument with

2709
02:16:22,800 --> 02:16:25,920
Speaker 1: sports fans, ask who should be the MVP. Everybody has

2710
02:16:25,960 --> 02:16:28,560
Speaker 1: an opinion. This player does this and that player does that,

2711
02:16:28,760 --> 02:16:30,960
Speaker 1: and I could be persuaded either way. But when it

2712
02:16:31,000 --> 02:16:34,320
Speaker 1: comes to an m VP of MPG, Yeah, Miles per Gallant,

2713
02:16:34,560 --> 02:16:37,680

Speaker 1: fact that you know, the Texans are gonna have a

2805
02:21:48,920 --> 02:21:52,080
Speaker 1: bunch of options for Deshaun Watson. You got the two

2806
02:21:52,160 --> 02:21:55,200
Speaker 1: Johnsons in the backfield, Duke and David. You got your

2810
02:22:04,879 --> 02:22:09,039
Speaker 1: the receivers. You got Brandon Cooks, Will Fuller, Randall, Cob,

2811
02:22:09,320 --> 02:22:14,200
Speaker 1: Kenny Steeles. There's a lot of options out there for

2812
02:22:14,440 --> 02:22:17,520
Speaker 1: the Texans to move the ball around, and but there's

2813
02:22:17,680 --> 02:22:21,720
Speaker 1: always somebody that emerges as the favorite and the go

2814
02:22:21,879 --> 02:22:24,720
Speaker 1: to guy for quarterbacks. I don't care where you look.

2815
02:22:25,120 --> 02:22:27,840
Speaker 1: Every quarterback has their favorite, that guy that they trust

2816
02:22:27,959 --> 02:22:30,720
Speaker 1: the most. And John, I wanted to get your opinion

2817
02:22:30,800 --> 02:22:32,880
Speaker 1: on this because you've been out there at training camp

2818
02:22:32,920 --> 02:22:36,959
Speaker 1: all this this entire preseason, and you've seen the day

2819
02:22:37,000 --> 02:22:38,360
Speaker 1: in and day out, and a lot of these guys

2820
02:22:38,440 --> 02:22:40,720
Speaker 1: really haven't got as many reps because they you know,

2821
02:22:40,800 --> 02:22:43,320
Speaker 1: they're ramping up at different schedules. But there was a

2822
02:22:43,400 --> 02:22:45,920
Speaker 1: guy that you would say, this Guy's going to emerge

2823
02:22:46,320 --> 02:22:50,360
Speaker 1: as Deshaun Watson's favorite target this season. Who would that

2824
02:22:50,440 --> 02:22:55,280
Speaker 1: guy be? It's a guy covered by a linebacker. And

2825
02:22:55,480 --> 02:22:57,400
Speaker 1: I say that, and I'll give you an example of

2826
02:22:57,440 --> 02:22:59,960
Speaker 1: what I mean. I'll answer that a little bit more

2827
02:23:00,000 --> 02:23:01,440
Speaker 1: our death of the second way, but I'll tell you

2828
02:23:01,800 --> 02:23:05,360
Speaker 1: why I say that Deshawn's gotten I think really really

2829
02:23:05,520 --> 02:23:11,400
Speaker 1: good at looking examining the defense, knowing what the defense

2830
02:23:11,560 --> 02:23:13,720
Speaker 1: is doing, and then picking it apart. And here's a

2831
02:23:13,720 --> 02:23:16,040
Speaker 1: great example. So the other night in the scrimmage, they

2832
02:23:16,160 --> 02:23:20,000
Speaker 1: come out and they're in empty They got three receivers

2833
02:23:20,040 --> 02:23:21,840
Speaker 1: to the right, they got two to the left, and

2834
02:23:22,080 --> 02:23:25,440
Speaker 1: David Johnson is the slot on the left, and there

2835
02:23:25,600 --> 02:23:27,680
Speaker 1: is a tight end and two wide receivers on the right.

2836
02:23:28,520 --> 02:23:32,800
Speaker 1: So the safety, who I think was Anthony Chesley, was

2837
02:23:32,920 --> 02:23:36,760
Speaker 1: over David Johnson and I could see Terrell Adams walking

2838
02:23:36,840 --> 02:23:38,640
Speaker 1: over there, and I'm like, Terrell, don't do it. I

2839
02:23:38,760 --> 02:23:40,480
Speaker 1: was like, don't do not do it, and I knew

2840
02:23:40,480 --> 02:23:42,240
Speaker 1: exactly what he was gonna do. And that is the

2841
02:23:42,440 --> 02:23:47,000
Speaker 1: rule on this particular coverage is linebacker on back, safety

2842
02:23:47,160 --> 02:23:49,880
Speaker 1: on tight end. I was like, do not do it,

2843
02:23:49,920 --> 02:23:51,840
Speaker 1: because Terrell, the second that you go over to David

2844
02:23:51,879 --> 02:23:54,520
Speaker 1: Johnson to cover him, Sean Watson's go to throw that

2845
02:23:54,600 --> 02:23:58,080
Speaker 1: ball to David Johnson, I promise you, And Chesley looks

2846
02:23:58,120 --> 02:23:59,600
Speaker 1: at him like are you sure? And he goes and

2847
02:23:59,640 --> 02:24:01,480
Speaker 1: he runs over and he covers the tight end. Terrell

2848
02:24:01,520 --> 02:24:04,440
Speaker 1: saddles up in front of David Johnson was like, shouldn't

2849
02:24:04,440 --> 02:24:06,760
Speaker 1: have done it, And all of a sudden, David Johnson

2850
02:24:06,840 --> 02:24:11,360
Speaker 1: goes darts inside. Adams loses leverage because he bites on

2851
02:24:11,440 --> 02:24:14,800
Speaker 1: the outside fake Johnson runs the you know it basically

2852
02:24:15,480 --> 02:24:17,480
Speaker 1: kind of a like a little circle route inside of him,

2853
02:24:17,760 --> 02:24:21,000
Speaker 1: and Deshan catches it, hits him twenty yard game. Adams

2854
02:24:21,120 --> 02:24:25,160
Speaker 1: is trailing and Johnson's off and running and that's gonna

2855
02:24:25,240 --> 02:24:28,440
Speaker 1: happen a lot, I think for teams against the Texans

2856
02:24:28,520 --> 02:24:31,640
Speaker 1: because they're not gonna know how exactly to match up.

2857
02:24:32,200 --> 02:24:35,920
Speaker 1: They're gonna look at and David Johnson could be a

2858
02:24:36,120 --> 02:24:39,039
Speaker 1: big key in that, because how do you match up

2859
02:24:39,080 --> 02:24:41,800
Speaker 1: with David Johnson? Because if you're thinking, ah, I'll just

2860
02:24:41,879 --> 02:24:45,400
Speaker 1: put a linebackground him, he'll have twenty catches that day,

2861
02:24:46,240 --> 02:24:49,040
Speaker 1: or he'll have ten. You going a halftime with only

2862
02:24:49,080 --> 02:24:51,039
Speaker 1: twelve minutes to try and figure out how you're gonna

2863
02:24:51,080 --> 02:24:53,960
Speaker 1: plan to stop number thirty one? Or do we have

2864
02:24:54,040 --> 02:24:56,120
Speaker 1: to double him? No, we gotta put a safety on him. Well,

2865
02:24:56,120 --> 02:24:57,680
Speaker 1: we put a safety on him. Well, what happens if

2866
02:24:57,720 --> 02:25:00,400
Speaker 1: they go? Well happens if they go with twelve personel

2867
02:25:00,440 --> 02:25:02,000
Speaker 1: and then they flex out the tight ends? How are

2868
02:25:02,000 --> 02:25:03,400
Speaker 1: we gonna cover the tight ends? I just put a

2869
02:25:03,440 --> 02:25:06,360
Speaker 1: linebacker on them. Well, we've seen what Darren Fells does

2870
02:25:06,440 --> 02:25:09,400
Speaker 1: the tight ends or I'm sorry, does the linebackers in

2871
02:25:09,480 --> 02:25:12,560
Speaker 1: the Atlanta Falcons game where there's a short linebacker on

2872
02:25:12,640 --> 02:25:14,120
Speaker 1: him and he just held the ball over. He said

2873
02:25:14,120 --> 02:25:16,400
Speaker 1: like he had just dunked on him. So how are

2874
02:25:16,440 --> 02:25:19,280
Speaker 1: you gonna cover? Especially the interior guys? And if you're

2875
02:25:19,320 --> 02:25:21,400
Speaker 1: gonna do a linebacker. You can forget about it. Oh,

2876
02:25:21,720 --> 02:25:24,160
Speaker 1: we're smart, We're gonna take all our linebackers out, and

2877
02:25:24,280 --> 02:25:25,880
Speaker 1: then we're just gonna leave a bunch of safeties in

2878
02:25:25,920 --> 02:25:28,080
Speaker 1: the game. All right, Well, they'll put their two backs

2879
02:25:28,120 --> 02:25:30,480
Speaker 1: back there and they'll run the ball at you. Good luck.

2880
02:25:30,959 --> 02:25:32,720
Speaker 1: So you've got a lot of You've got a lot

2881
02:25:32,760 --> 02:25:36,080
Speaker 1: of ways to really hurt them. But I knew when

2882
02:25:36,160 --> 02:25:38,240
Speaker 1: I saw David in the slot and I could see

2883
02:25:38,240 --> 02:25:40,320
Speaker 1: to I could see the thought bubble over Adam's head,

2884
02:25:40,360 --> 02:25:42,920
Speaker 1: which is I've got I'm supposed to have the running back.

2885
02:25:43,000 --> 02:25:46,840
Speaker 1: He's mine. I'm going to him. Yeah, forget it, forget

2886
02:25:46,879 --> 02:25:49,760
Speaker 1: it that that's gonna You're just gonna be eating out

2887
02:25:49,800 --> 02:25:51,560
Speaker 1: of the palm of their hand. I mean, it's just

2888
02:25:51,720 --> 02:25:53,640
Speaker 1: that easy. And I think that's what the Shawan is

2889
02:25:53,680 --> 02:25:55,680
Speaker 1: gonna take a lot up. So I do think that

2890
02:25:55,840 --> 02:25:59,280
Speaker 1: David Johnson is gonna end up being a recipient of

2891
02:25:59,400 --> 02:26:03,400
Speaker 1: a lot of that. But the other night, when I

2892
02:26:03,520 --> 02:26:07,160
Speaker 1: saw will Fuller back in the lineup, I know how

2893
02:26:07,280 --> 02:26:11,360
Speaker 1: much to Sean enjoys throwing to him, and I know

2894
02:26:11,600 --> 02:26:14,320
Speaker 1: why he enjoys throwing to him and to Brandon Cooks,

2895
02:26:14,600 --> 02:26:17,160
Speaker 1: and part of it is that those guys can get

2896
02:26:17,200 --> 02:26:22,920
Speaker 1: to their spots on routes faster than anybody. So DeShawn

2897
02:26:22,959 --> 02:26:25,480
Speaker 1: doesn't get to the top of his drop and have

2898
02:26:25,640 --> 02:26:28,039
Speaker 1: to wait. He gets to the top of his drop

2899
02:26:28,120 --> 02:26:31,080
Speaker 1: and he releases because those guys are getting to their

2900
02:26:31,240 --> 02:26:33,400
Speaker 1: routes and into their routes where they need to be

2901
02:26:34,000 --> 02:26:36,960
Speaker 1: faster than anybody. I don't know that I've seen anybody

2902
02:26:37,240 --> 02:26:40,800
Speaker 1: outside of Cecil's shorts run the deep over route and

2903
02:26:40,959 --> 02:26:42,960
Speaker 1: get to the spot that Brandon Cooks got to the

2904
02:26:43,000 --> 02:26:45,960
Speaker 1: other day. I'm like, he got there so fast he

2905
02:26:46,040 --> 02:26:49,119
Speaker 1: almost beat Deshawan to his drop point, Like Deshaun almost

2906
02:26:49,120 --> 02:26:51,080
Speaker 1: had to throw it before he got back there because

2907
02:26:51,160 --> 02:26:54,160
Speaker 1: Cooks was breaking into the opening. And I'm like, holy cow.

2908
02:26:54,920 --> 02:26:58,080
Speaker 1: I do think it's gonna be Fuller, And obviously that

2909
02:26:58,280 --> 02:27:00,720
Speaker 1: is if he can stay healthy. But I do think

2910
02:27:00,840 --> 02:27:05,440
Speaker 1: that teams realize that and they know, hey, when Fuller's

2911
02:27:05,440 --> 02:27:08,120
Speaker 1: out there, they're different. So we've got to take him away.

2912
02:27:08,200 --> 02:27:11,360
Speaker 1: So if they take him away, it's Cooks. If they don't,

2913
02:27:11,520 --> 02:27:14,240
Speaker 1: it's Fuller. Have both of them is going to be dangerous.

2914
02:27:14,440 --> 02:27:16,720
Speaker 1: But in the end, the sneaky one that could be

2915
02:27:16,879 --> 02:27:19,160
Speaker 1: the beneficiary of a lot of It is gonna end

2916
02:27:19,240 --> 02:27:21,480
Speaker 1: up being either thirty one or twenty five those two

2917
02:27:21,560 --> 02:27:25,000
Speaker 1: running backs. I love your answer because it's literally going

2918
02:27:25,080 --> 02:27:27,600
Speaker 1: to be I just thinking back in the in the past,

2919
02:27:27,680 --> 02:27:30,440
Speaker 1: when you had DeAndre Hopkins here, right and it's third down,

2920
02:27:30,560 --> 02:27:32,959
Speaker 1: everybody know, guess what they're going to hop? Fourth down,

2921
02:27:33,040 --> 02:27:34,640
Speaker 1: guess what you're going to hop And I mean still

2922
02:27:34,680 --> 02:27:38,600
Speaker 1: it was successful because Hope is who he is. But

2923
02:27:38,760 --> 02:27:41,760
Speaker 1: now you have so many weapons, right, it's gonna be

2924
02:27:41,879 --> 02:27:43,959
Speaker 1: like from left and right when he's reading the defense, Okay,

2925
02:27:44,120 --> 02:27:47,680
Speaker 1: who is going to be my victim? Oh oh, I

2926
02:27:47,760 --> 02:27:50,680
Speaker 1: got a linebacker on Duke Johnson. We're going right there.

2927
02:27:50,760 --> 02:27:53,120
Speaker 1: So it's like as a defense, it's it's a no

2928
02:27:53,240 --> 02:27:56,080
Speaker 1: win situation like it's it's it's it's it's gonna be tough.

2929
02:27:56,120 --> 02:27:57,920
Speaker 1: You can put five dbs in a few of you

2930
02:27:58,000 --> 02:28:00,160
Speaker 1: want to, like you mentioned, okay, cool, Luke, what two

2931
02:28:00,160 --> 02:28:04,400
Speaker 1: backs in the game, right, and we're okay when when

2932
02:28:04,480 --> 02:28:06,480
Speaker 1: you got um you're gonna think you're gonna put the

2933
02:28:06,560 --> 02:28:08,960
Speaker 1: linebackers or whatever case, Maybe there is in a good situation.

2934
02:28:09,080 --> 02:28:12,160
Speaker 1: But going back to running back, there is a lot

2935
02:28:12,200 --> 02:28:16,000
Speaker 1: of guys outside of Johnson and Johnson, right, you gotta

2936
02:28:16,080 --> 02:28:19,760
Speaker 1: Higden and you got some younger guys. Buddy, how Buddy,

2937
02:28:19,840 --> 02:28:22,880
Speaker 1: how special teams? Guru? And there's one more guy can't

2938
02:28:22,920 --> 02:28:27,240
Speaker 1: think of his name stillis how many backs do they keep?

2939
02:28:28,200 --> 02:28:30,440
Speaker 1: And then who who? Who are the guys? Because outside

2940
02:28:30,480 --> 02:28:32,360
Speaker 1: the big two, I'm not I figured Buddy maybe, but

2941
02:28:32,520 --> 02:28:34,720
Speaker 1: Higden from what I hear, is not looking too bad either.

2942
02:28:35,600 --> 02:28:38,360
Speaker 1: You know the thing about the thing about Buddy, which

2943
02:28:38,440 --> 02:28:41,440
Speaker 1: is always gonna get Buddy in advantage to be the

2944
02:28:41,560 --> 02:28:47,120
Speaker 1: number three guy is that is he plays so well

2945
02:28:47,160 --> 02:28:50,880
Speaker 1: on special teams and that's where that's where you just

2946
02:28:51,920 --> 02:28:54,120
Speaker 1: you cannot in this league. And you guys know this.

2947
02:28:54,240 --> 02:28:55,880
Speaker 1: So I mean, I'm preaching the car and this. You

2948
02:28:55,959 --> 02:28:57,920
Speaker 1: can't be in number three running back and not playing

2949
02:28:57,959 --> 02:29:00,280
Speaker 1: special teams. Like, what's your role in as team while

2950
02:29:00,280 --> 02:29:02,080
Speaker 1: I'm the number three running back? Well, I mean, what

2951
02:29:02,160 --> 02:29:04,200
Speaker 1: does that mean? You get a touch a game? You

2952
02:29:04,240 --> 02:29:08,240
Speaker 1: can maybe get two touches a game. I mean really, now,

2953
02:29:08,320 --> 02:29:10,760
Speaker 1: there there are certain certain circumstances where that's happened. Like

2954
02:29:10,800 --> 02:29:12,920
Speaker 1: Philadelphia when they won a Super Bowl in twenty seventeen,

2955
02:29:12,959 --> 02:29:15,240
Speaker 1: they used all three backs, and they found different things

2956
02:29:15,320 --> 02:29:17,119
Speaker 1: for all three backs to do, and they're all they're

2957
02:29:17,120 --> 02:29:20,280
Speaker 1: all different. But in most cases the third running back

2958
02:29:20,480 --> 02:29:22,360
Speaker 1: and it's a touch or two a game, you've gotta

2959
02:29:22,400 --> 02:29:24,240
Speaker 1: be You've got to contribute on special teams. O. By

2960
02:29:24,240 --> 02:29:26,400
Speaker 1: the way, those Eagles I mentioned Corey Clement was the

2961
02:29:26,480 --> 02:29:31,040
Speaker 1: third back. He did participate on special teams. So that's

2962
02:29:31,080 --> 02:29:33,920
Speaker 1: what Higden will have to do and replace if he

2963
02:29:34,120 --> 02:29:39,200
Speaker 1: does overtake Buddy. How but Karan runs it hard, you know,

2964
02:29:39,280 --> 02:29:41,480
Speaker 1: Buddy runs it hard. The problem for Karan, though, has

2965
02:29:41,520 --> 02:29:45,000
Speaker 1: been fumbles in camp. It's just he's been just spitting

2966
02:29:45,000 --> 02:29:47,039
Speaker 1: a bit, basically, just putting the ball on the ground,

2967
02:29:47,120 --> 02:29:49,840
Speaker 1: and that is not gonna make anybody happy. Buddy's not

2968
02:29:49,840 --> 02:29:51,600
Speaker 1: gonna fumble. He's gonna hang on to it. Look, you

2969
02:29:51,640 --> 02:29:53,080
Speaker 1: know what you're gonna get with Buddy. If you need

2970
02:29:53,120 --> 02:29:54,720
Speaker 1: three or four yards and buddies running the ball, he

2971
02:29:54,760 --> 02:29:56,560
Speaker 1: didn't get you three or four yards. It's not gonna

2972
02:29:56,600 --> 02:29:58,280
Speaker 1: be dynamic. But he's just gonna put his head down

2973
02:29:58,280 --> 02:30:00,120
Speaker 1: and get you three or four yards. You know. He's

2974
02:30:00,520 --> 02:30:02,680
Speaker 1: probably a little bit more dynamic than Alfred Blue in

2975
02:30:02,760 --> 02:30:05,800
Speaker 1: that sense, but they're similar in that they're really good

2976
02:30:05,800 --> 02:30:08,680
Speaker 1: on special teams, but your number three back needs to

2977
02:30:08,760 --> 02:30:10,840
Speaker 1: be that guy, not where Alfred was the number one

2978
02:30:10,879 --> 02:30:14,440
Speaker 1: back in some cases. But I think it's probably Buddy. Now,

2979
02:30:14,600 --> 02:30:16,720
Speaker 1: what kind of throws a monkey wrench into all this

2980
02:30:16,879 --> 02:30:20,760
Speaker 1: is is Gilly, because Gilly's been banged up and you

2981
02:30:20,920 --> 02:30:23,640
Speaker 1: really would like to have Gilly as a part of

2982
02:30:23,680 --> 02:30:27,360
Speaker 1: the offense. I mean, Gilly is kind of the really

2983
02:30:27,720 --> 02:30:31,720
Speaker 1: you know, fancy you know GPS system you put into

2984
02:30:31,800 --> 02:30:34,959
Speaker 1: your car that you can use. It's not gonna run

2985
02:30:35,000 --> 02:30:37,000
Speaker 1: the car any better, but you like using it and

2986
02:30:37,080 --> 02:30:38,880
Speaker 1: it's kind of cool. You can show your friends like, hey,

2987
02:30:38,879 --> 02:30:40,800
Speaker 1: it's kind of neat to have this, but you don't

2988
02:30:40,879 --> 02:30:42,080
Speaker 1: use it all the time because you kind of know

2989
02:30:42,080 --> 02:30:44,800
Speaker 1: where you're going. That's kind of Gilly. You really like

2990
02:30:44,920 --> 02:30:46,800
Speaker 1: to have him with the offense, but you need him

2991
02:30:46,840 --> 02:30:49,200
Speaker 1: on special teams, and him being banged up is really

2992
02:30:49,840 --> 02:30:52,879
Speaker 1: not being great. I think they keep four. Gilly is four,

2993
02:30:53,600 --> 02:30:55,640
Speaker 1: but I think they end up having to pick between

2994
02:30:55,760 --> 02:30:58,320
Speaker 1: Howe and Higden and it comes down to special teams,

2995
02:30:58,360 --> 02:31:00,080
Speaker 1: and I think Buddy's gonna win that. But I you

2996
02:31:00,200 --> 02:31:03,640
Speaker 1: think they'll try and bring Karan Higden back practice squad.

2997
02:31:04,160 --> 02:31:07,200
Speaker 1: But if Kuran over the next week starts to show something,

2998
02:31:07,320 --> 02:31:09,720
Speaker 1: then they're gonna have to force feed him into the

2999
02:31:09,760 --> 02:31:12,040
Speaker 1: special teams part of it. And I don't know how

3000
02:31:12,160 --> 02:31:15,320
Speaker 1: that works out for him and for the team. I'll

3001
02:31:15,360 --> 02:31:18,119
Speaker 1: tell you what, man, The Texans and Kansas City Chiefs

3002
02:31:18,160 --> 02:31:21,039
Speaker 1: are on a collision course eleven days away, and games

3003
02:31:21,080 --> 02:31:23,360
Speaker 1: are won by the team that makes the least amount

3004
02:31:23,360 --> 02:31:26,280
Speaker 1: of mistakes and the ones that win the most one

3018
02:32:15,520 --> 02:32:18,800
Speaker 1: Saving money with Geico is almost better than watching football.

3019
02:32:19,080 --> 02:32:21,600
Speaker 1: Think about it. When you're watching the game, yelling at

3020
02:32:21,640 --> 02:32:24,000
Speaker 1: the quarterback to throw the ball. Throw it, Williams is

3021
02:32:24,000 --> 02:32:26,080
Speaker 1: wide open. Why are you doing this to me? Use

3022
02:32:26,200 --> 02:32:28,800
Speaker 1: that rocket arm? Come on, they don't listen to you.

3023
02:32:29,160 --> 02:32:31,119
Speaker 1: But if you went into a Geico office and yelled,

3024
02:32:31,360 --> 02:32:33,880
Speaker 1: someone please help me save some money on car insurance,

3025
02:32:34,240 --> 02:32:37,119
Speaker 1: everyone would hop to it, except the intern because it's

3026
02:32:37,160 --> 02:32:39,080
Speaker 1: his first day and he doesn't even have a computer yet.

3027
02:32:39,400 --> 02:32:43,560
Speaker 1: See better, switch and save with Geico. It's almost better

3028
02:32:43,600 --> 02:32:46,480
Speaker 1: than sports. How to Verizon build the fastest five G

3039
02:33:16,680 --> 02:33:19,760

3040
02:33:19,840 --> 02:33:21,959
Speaker 1: does this and that player does that, and I could

Speaker 1: this game is gonna come down to matchups. There's gonna

3104
02:37:09,200 --> 02:37:11,440
Speaker 1: be some matchups that I feel like there some of

3105
02:37:11,800 --> 02:37:14,640
Speaker 1: the most important matchups in this game. When the Texas

3106
02:37:14,680 --> 02:37:17,840
Speaker 1: play against Kent City Chiefs in eleven days. It's coming here.

3107
02:37:17,920 --> 02:37:20,320
Speaker 1: It's I'm getting excited, man, because it's it's almost here.

3108
02:37:20,400 --> 02:37:22,520
Speaker 1: It's about to happen. It's about to go down to

3109
02:37:22,560 --> 02:37:24,080
Speaker 1: the end of There's a lot of stuff that's led

3110
02:37:24,200 --> 02:37:26,240
Speaker 1: up to this point, but we're actually about to get

3111
02:37:26,320 --> 02:37:29,880
Speaker 1: some football played. So I'm excited about it. But there's

3112
02:37:29,920 --> 02:37:31,920
Speaker 1: some matchups that I wanted to get your insight on

3113
02:37:32,840 --> 02:37:35,560
Speaker 1: John and one of them, the first one that's the

3114
02:37:35,680 --> 02:37:39,760
Speaker 1: marquee matchup in my opinion, is JJ wat Vertus versus

3115
02:37:39,840 --> 02:37:43,480
Speaker 1: Mitchell Shorts. You got JJ coming off of UM. You know,

3116
02:37:43,560 --> 02:37:45,960
Speaker 1: he had the peck surgery last year. He was able

3117
02:37:46,000 --> 02:37:48,480
Speaker 1: to fight his way back playing the playoff game, but

3118
02:37:48,600 --> 02:37:51,400
Speaker 1: he wasn't fully JJ. He wasn't you know, the guy

3119
02:37:51,520 --> 02:37:53,760
Speaker 1: that you you're used to seeing out there because he

3120
02:37:53,920 --> 02:37:56,760
Speaker 1: was fresh off effects surgery and he you know, he

3121
02:37:57,320 --> 02:37:59,240
Speaker 1: wasn't gonna be the best that you could get out

3122
02:37:59,280 --> 02:38:01,879
Speaker 1: of JJ. But this year you're getting JJ in one

3123
02:38:01,959 --> 02:38:04,600
Speaker 1: hundred percent. You're getting fresh JJ. He really hasn't done

3124
02:38:04,680 --> 02:38:07,680
Speaker 1: much this all season as far as just doing eleven

3125
02:38:07,720 --> 02:38:09,800
Speaker 1: on eleven work with the team. But you got the

3126
02:38:09,879 --> 02:38:12,200
Speaker 1: best right tackle, arguably the best right tackle in the

3127
02:38:12,280 --> 02:38:15,279
Speaker 1: game against JJ Whiten. How do you see that matchup

3128
02:38:15,320 --> 02:38:20,480
Speaker 1: shaking out on September ten? Well, what do they say?

3129
02:38:20,600 --> 02:38:24,240
Speaker 1: We're smarter, not harder UM. And this kind of goes

3130
02:38:24,280 --> 02:38:27,640
Speaker 1: back to my comment earlier that what if you put

3131
02:38:27,760 --> 02:38:31,039
Speaker 1: JJ inside then he doesn't go against Mitchell Schwartz, then

3132
02:38:31,280 --> 02:38:34,800
Speaker 1: you let Mitchel Schwartz protect against Brent Scarlett or Jacob

3133
02:38:34,840 --> 02:38:39,240
Speaker 1: Martin or Whitney, and JJ is going against the fill

3134
02:38:39,360 --> 02:38:44,200
Speaker 1: in for uh Laurent DuVernay Tardief. Now it's it's clutch

3135
02:38:45,560 --> 02:38:47,560
Speaker 1: Ossemily good grief. I used to know how to say

3136
02:38:47,600 --> 02:38:49,280
Speaker 1: that name. Really well, I know why I'm blanking on

3137
02:38:49,360 --> 02:38:52,960
Speaker 1: it now. But anyways, well, Semenly is not what he was,

3138
02:38:53,720 --> 02:38:58,400
Speaker 1: but I think he's as good as LDT was. But

3139
02:38:58,959 --> 02:39:01,360
Speaker 1: I'm m sure have JJ go against him, then I

3140
02:39:01,400 --> 02:39:04,280
Speaker 1: would against Mitchell Schwartz. I was one of the charter

3141
02:39:04,360 --> 02:39:06,520
Speaker 1: members of the Mitchell Schwartz fan Club and it happened

3142
02:39:06,520 --> 02:39:08,320
Speaker 1: when he was a sophomore at Cow's watching him a

3143
02:39:08,360 --> 02:39:10,280
Speaker 1: bowl game against Miami, I'm like, man, this tackle is

3144
02:39:10,400 --> 02:39:13,240
Speaker 1: killing people. Who is this? And I saw his Mitchell

3145
02:39:13,240 --> 02:39:17,080
Speaker 1: Schwartz like, oh, his brother's Jeff Okay, so yeah, this guy.

3146
02:39:17,320 --> 02:39:18,840
Speaker 1: It runs in the family. And then he's just gotten

3147
02:39:18,879 --> 02:39:21,840
Speaker 1: better and better and better by the year. And you're right,

3148
02:39:21,879 --> 02:39:23,560
Speaker 1: he is the best right tackle in the game. I

3149
02:39:23,680 --> 02:39:25,680
Speaker 1: do think it's a key matchup when those two are

3150
02:39:25,760 --> 02:39:29,199
Speaker 1: matched up. And what JJ has to learn and all

3151
02:39:29,280 --> 02:39:31,920
Speaker 1: of these guys have to learn, these edge rushers, especially

3152
02:39:32,040 --> 02:39:35,879
Speaker 1: from that side, is that's where Patrick likes to escape,

3153
02:39:36,600 --> 02:39:40,280
Speaker 1: and if they take their rush too shallow, then he'll

3154
02:39:40,360 --> 02:39:44,080
Speaker 1: go out around them. If they go too high, he'll

3155
02:39:44,200 --> 02:39:47,360
Speaker 1: dart up underneath and get out out there. So they

3156
02:39:47,480 --> 02:39:50,160
Speaker 1: have to take up you know, JJ, and whoever is

3157
02:39:50,200 --> 02:39:53,040
Speaker 1: rushing at that spot has to think a lot like

3158
02:39:53,200 --> 02:39:57,720
Speaker 1: Frank Clark did. Frank Clark knew that Dashaun would escape

3159
02:39:57,760 --> 02:40:01,520
Speaker 1: and go if Frank went high on his rus. Frank

3160
02:40:01,600 --> 02:40:03,840
Speaker 1: knew just go right back down the way that he

3161
02:40:03,959 --> 02:40:06,720
Speaker 1: came and Deshaun run right into him. And that's what

3162
02:40:06,840 --> 02:40:09,160
Speaker 1: he did in that playoff game. He got the Shawn

3163
02:40:09,200 --> 02:40:11,000
Speaker 1: because he knew if he went high to Sean would

3164
02:40:11,000 --> 02:40:13,280
Speaker 1: go underneath and trying to escape to the right, and

3165
02:40:13,480 --> 02:40:15,560
Speaker 1: Frank just ran up and you know, right tackles trying

3166
02:40:15,560 --> 02:40:17,600
Speaker 1: to block him, and Frank's going up and he's going

3167
02:40:17,720 --> 02:40:19,680
Speaker 1: right back and the right tackle hasn't even touched him,

3168
02:40:19,840 --> 02:40:22,480
Speaker 1: and Frank's making a sack because Frank knew he could

3169
02:40:22,520 --> 02:40:24,800
Speaker 1: force him that way. So the Texans have to be

3170
02:40:24,879 --> 02:40:28,480
Speaker 1: cognizant of Mahomes doing that because the plays that Mahomes made.

3171
02:40:28,560 --> 02:40:31,120
Speaker 1: Look he made plenty throws from the pocket, don't get

3172
02:40:31,160 --> 02:40:33,640
Speaker 1: me wrong, but the plays he really killed the Texans

3173
02:40:33,959 --> 02:40:37,200
Speaker 1: were where he was able to escape contain, especially to

3174
02:40:37,400 --> 02:40:40,080
Speaker 1: that right side. In the second quarter, it was all

3175
02:40:40,120 --> 02:40:42,720
Speaker 1: those runs he had to their sideline, and then in

3176
02:40:42,800 --> 02:40:44,960
Speaker 1: the third quarter he was escaping and getting out to

3177
02:40:44,959 --> 02:40:47,680
Speaker 1: our sideline and running right past me. And I wanted

3178
02:40:47,720 --> 02:40:49,840
Speaker 1: to just like trip him, but I like him, so

3179
02:40:49,920 --> 02:40:52,760
Speaker 1: I didn't do it. But it is. It is gonna

3180
02:40:52,760 --> 02:40:55,240
Speaker 1: be a big matchup. But the Texans have to be

3181
02:40:55,520 --> 02:41:00,480
Speaker 1: really smart about how they attack that because if they do,

3182
02:41:00,920 --> 02:41:04,000
Speaker 1: if JJ wants to rush high with the speed rush,

3183
02:41:04,440 --> 02:41:06,680
Speaker 1: he's got to be able to then say, Okay, I'm

3184
02:41:06,720 --> 02:41:09,480
Speaker 1: gonna have to redirect at some point to fold back

3185
02:41:09,600 --> 02:41:11,960
Speaker 1: in and see if I can't get mahomes when he

3186
02:41:12,040 --> 02:41:15,320
Speaker 1: starts to get out that way. So you know they're

3187
02:41:15,320 --> 02:41:20,800
Speaker 1: gonna have to be really really strict about good pass

3188
02:41:20,920 --> 02:41:23,680
Speaker 1: rush discipline. Week six, they had a little bit of

3189
02:41:23,680 --> 02:41:26,840
Speaker 1: an advantage because Pat was not as mobile, so he

3190
02:41:26,959 --> 02:41:29,320
Speaker 1: was a little bit more of a sitting duck. He'll

3191
02:41:29,400 --> 02:41:30,960
Speaker 1: be ready to go in this one, and I think

3192
02:41:31,000 --> 02:41:34,080
Speaker 1: he's gonna try and do similar things, And whoever rushes

3193
02:41:34,120 --> 02:41:37,560
Speaker 1: from that side has really got to be cognizant of

3194
02:41:37,840 --> 02:41:40,840
Speaker 1: how they go about it. The only way I think

3195
02:41:40,879 --> 02:41:42,840
Speaker 1: you really want to go a high side of Mitchell

3196
02:41:43,280 --> 02:41:45,200
Speaker 1: is if for some reason you get to jump off

3197
02:41:45,240 --> 02:41:47,280
Speaker 1: the ball and he's slow off the ball and you

3198
02:41:47,360 --> 02:41:49,760
Speaker 1: can make a quick you know, slap rip and go.

3199
02:41:50,760 --> 02:41:52,160
Speaker 1: That might be the only way to do it. But

3200
02:41:52,240 --> 02:41:53,959
Speaker 1: if you go hi, he's just gonna wash you up

3201
02:41:54,000 --> 02:41:57,160
Speaker 1: and then Mahomes is gonna come underneath. So if you

3202
02:41:57,320 --> 02:41:59,440
Speaker 1: know that the other part of it too is Anthony Weaver,

3203
02:42:00,000 --> 02:42:03,480
Speaker 1: then game planning that making sure that Okay, if JJ

3204
02:42:03,680 --> 02:42:06,280
Speaker 1: does rush high, then make sure that you know there's

3205
02:42:06,360 --> 02:42:08,200
Speaker 1: maybe if if you're a zone, there's a linebacker that

3206
02:42:08,240 --> 02:42:10,640
Speaker 1: maybe as Mahomes starts to get out of there, maybe

3207
02:42:10,680 --> 02:42:13,320
Speaker 1: you spy Zach on Mahomes. Maybe you do some different

3208
02:42:13,360 --> 02:42:16,320
Speaker 1: things to not allow Mahomes to do that. But I

3209
02:42:16,440 --> 02:42:18,520
Speaker 1: think that's a big matchup. But I wouldn't be surprised

3210
02:42:18,520 --> 02:42:22,880
Speaker 1: if JJ goes inside where he can just let loose inside, inside, outside.

3211
02:42:23,400 --> 02:42:25,480
Speaker 1: You know, look, if Mahomes gets pushed up the middle

3212
02:42:25,480 --> 02:42:27,000
Speaker 1: of the field, I'm much of that have that than

3213
02:42:27,120 --> 02:42:29,440
Speaker 1: him going off the outside. So JJ can kind of

3214
02:42:29,480 --> 02:42:31,280
Speaker 1: go balls to the wall from the inside, and maybe

3215
02:42:31,360 --> 02:42:33,000
Speaker 1: he'll want to do that in this game, going against

3216
02:42:33,160 --> 02:42:35,440
Speaker 1: a couple of guards that really aren't up to Mitchell

3217
02:42:35,480 --> 02:42:38,360
Speaker 1: Schwartz's level. For sure, I tell you what man I think, JJ,

3218
02:42:38,800 --> 02:42:41,400
Speaker 1: his plan of attack has to be something similar to this.

3219
02:42:41,680 --> 02:42:44,520
Speaker 1: You gotta rush Mitchell Schwartz if you do have that matchup,

3220
02:42:44,800 --> 02:42:47,120
Speaker 1: you have to rush him, not up or high, to

3221
02:42:47,720 --> 02:42:50,560
Speaker 1: try to win the rep and come free because if

3222
02:42:50,640 --> 02:42:53,240
Speaker 1: you make it, if you come free now the quarterback

3223
02:42:53,280 --> 02:42:55,000
Speaker 1: and see that and can adjust to it, you have

3224
02:42:55,120 --> 02:42:57,680
Speaker 1: to rush half for me and and take to where

3225
02:42:57,720 --> 02:43:00,320
Speaker 1: there's bodies in the way and you're using your arm

3226
02:43:00,400 --> 02:43:03,520
Speaker 1: and you're driving Mitchell back into the quarterbacks lab so

3227
02:43:03,680 --> 02:43:06,240
Speaker 1: that he really can't escape either highlow. To me, that's

3228
02:43:06,840 --> 02:43:09,400
Speaker 1: you have quarterbacks like like Mahomes. That's the that's the

3229
02:43:09,480 --> 02:43:11,000
Speaker 1: way you got to rush him. And JJ is a

3230
02:43:11,040 --> 02:43:14,080
Speaker 1: smart guy. I'm interested. I'm intrigued by this matchup because

3231
02:43:14,120 --> 02:43:15,960
Speaker 1: it's two of the best going at it right out

3232
02:43:16,000 --> 02:43:18,600
Speaker 1: the box. Yeah. Absolutely, And like you said, Wade, there's

3233
02:43:18,840 --> 02:43:23,520
Speaker 1: there's that that added element of what what rush game

3234
02:43:23,600 --> 02:43:26,240
Speaker 1: do you use? And when you when I think about JJ,

3235
02:43:26,520 --> 02:43:28,880
Speaker 1: you know he's had some some really good games. You know,

3236
02:43:28,959 --> 02:43:31,480
Speaker 1: Eli Manny had sacked him three times in twenty eighteen.

3237
02:43:31,520 --> 02:43:33,400
Speaker 1: You know, he always got after Andrew luck Andrew could

3238
02:43:33,400 --> 02:43:34,959
Speaker 1: get out of the pocket, but you know he didn't

3239
02:43:34,959 --> 02:43:38,959
Speaker 1: really want to um. But it's just that much different

3240
02:43:38,959 --> 02:43:44,160
Speaker 1: when you're rushing Philip Rivers versus Patrick Mahomes. So I'm

3241
02:43:44,240 --> 02:43:46,960
Speaker 1: I'm really curious to see how what his game plan

3242
02:43:47,320 --> 02:43:49,760
Speaker 1: is and what Anthony weavers game plan is to make

3243
02:43:49,760 --> 02:43:52,160
Speaker 1: sure that Mahomes stays in the well to have to

3244
02:43:52,240 --> 02:43:57,520
Speaker 1: throw from there. Um next to Bradley robe Verse Tyreek Heel.

3245
02:43:57,680 --> 02:43:59,800
Speaker 1: Now these guys know each other well because Robie played

3246
02:43:59,800 --> 02:44:01,760
Speaker 1: again and some during his time when he was in

3247
02:44:01,800 --> 02:44:04,480
Speaker 1: the AFC West with Denver. But how do you feel

3248
02:44:04,560 --> 02:44:08,080
Speaker 1: like this is going to go? You know, of anybody

3249
02:44:08,200 --> 02:44:10,320
Speaker 1: in the league, And I know this sounds strange, but

3250
02:44:10,360 --> 02:44:13,000
Speaker 1: if anybody in the league that has success against Tyreek,

3251
02:44:13,040 --> 02:44:16,880
Speaker 1: it's Roby when he was with When Robie was with

3252
02:44:17,040 --> 02:44:19,240
Speaker 1: Denver the last year he was there, the two games

3253
02:44:19,280 --> 02:44:22,440
Speaker 1: against Tyreek, Tyreek had his lowest output and in a

3254
02:44:22,680 --> 02:44:25,760
Speaker 1: pretty good year for him, and that was against Roby.

3255
02:44:25,840 --> 02:44:27,720
Speaker 1: And and so I went back and I watched those

3256
02:44:27,800 --> 02:44:31,280
Speaker 1: games specifically, and I watched when Robie had Tyreek one

3257
02:44:31,360 --> 02:44:34,480
Speaker 1: on one, and Robie did a nice job of staying

3258
02:44:34,520 --> 02:44:38,320
Speaker 1: with TYREEKUM. And I think Robe probably does a little

3259
02:44:38,360 --> 02:44:40,600
Speaker 1: bit better against the quicker receivers as opposed to the

3260
02:44:40,680 --> 02:44:43,680
Speaker 1: bigger ones. You know, He's got such quick feet and

3261
02:44:43,920 --> 02:44:46,840
Speaker 1: does a pretty good job of not holding and grasping

3262
02:44:47,720 --> 02:44:49,720
Speaker 1: and sort of catching receivers, so he can kind of

3263
02:44:49,720 --> 02:44:51,960
Speaker 1: stay with him. But he uses his feet very well

3264
02:44:52,320 --> 02:44:55,279
Speaker 1: against Tyreek. The irony is Tyreek had two touchdowns against

3265
02:44:55,400 --> 02:44:58,800
Speaker 1: us in Week six. We won that game. Tyreek didn't

3266
02:44:58,840 --> 02:45:01,520
Speaker 1: do a lot in the playoff game, and they drove

3267
02:45:01,640 --> 02:45:05,720
Speaker 1: us into the ground. So as much as I fear Tyreek,

3268
02:45:05,800 --> 02:45:08,600
Speaker 1: and I know we all do, we all fear Tyreek,

3269
02:45:08,680 --> 02:45:11,160
Speaker 1: we can't let this guy go off. I think Robie

3270
02:45:11,280 --> 02:45:13,600
Speaker 1: is a guy that that takes that challenge. It takes

3271
02:45:13,640 --> 02:45:15,600
Speaker 1: it pretty seriously, and I think he'll end up with

3272
02:45:15,680 --> 02:45:18,880
Speaker 1: that challenge. Um. And let's say, I don't worry about

3273
02:45:18,920 --> 02:45:20,760
Speaker 1: that too much. You know, Tyreek's gonna get his but

3274
02:45:20,840 --> 02:45:25,000
Speaker 1: you know, Robie, because of his experience against Tyreek had

3275
02:45:25,440 --> 02:45:27,119
Speaker 1: that's at least that's a good thing. You're not You're

3276
02:45:27,160 --> 02:45:28,880
Speaker 1: not throwing a rookie out there, you know. If the

3277
02:45:28,959 --> 02:45:31,160
Speaker 1: Jags play the Chiefs. You know, C. J. Henderson's gonna

3278
02:45:31,160 --> 02:45:33,600
Speaker 1: see Tyreek for the first time. I mean, Tyreek's gonna

3279
02:45:33,600 --> 02:45:36,680
Speaker 1: have fifteen catches for eight hundred yards, um, because seeing

3280
02:45:36,760 --> 02:45:38,880
Speaker 1: you for the first time has gotta just I mean,

3281
02:45:38,959 --> 02:45:42,760
Speaker 1: that's gotta be a religious experience. But Robie's not gonna

3282
02:45:42,760 --> 02:45:44,640
Speaker 1: back down. Robe's seen him twice a year for the

3283
02:45:44,760 --> 02:45:47,560
Speaker 1: last how many ever years, So he's not going back

3284
02:45:47,600 --> 02:45:49,840
Speaker 1: down from it. And I think, Yeah, that's gonna be here.

3285
02:45:49,879 --> 02:45:52,920
Speaker 1: It's gonna be a great matchup, I think, and I know.

3286
02:45:53,000 --> 02:45:54,800
Speaker 1: The one that we'll get to, I'm sure is what

3287
02:45:54,879 --> 02:45:58,240
Speaker 1: do we do about Kelsey? Because when Kelsey has played us,

3288
02:45:58,760 --> 02:46:01,760
Speaker 1: when Kelsey has gone off, the Chiefs have won. It's

3289
02:46:01,800 --> 02:46:04,400
Speaker 1: almost a direct correlation. When he has gone off. In

3290
02:46:04,480 --> 02:46:07,360
Speaker 1: twenty fifteen, Cecil, when y'all play in that first game

3291
02:46:07,360 --> 02:46:11,039
Speaker 1: of the year, Kelsey had two touchdowns and we get

3292
02:46:11,120 --> 02:46:13,760
Speaker 1: we get beat. We play him the next year twenty sixteen,

3293
02:46:14,200 --> 02:46:16,199
Speaker 1: A J. Boyer locks him up, he has two catches,

3294
02:46:16,240 --> 02:46:18,480
Speaker 1: We win that game. You know. Twenty seventeen, he has

3295
02:46:18,520 --> 02:46:20,000
Speaker 1: a pretty good game on the Sunday night and they

3296
02:46:20,040 --> 02:46:24,960
Speaker 1: win playoff game. He goes off just recently and they

3297
02:46:25,000 --> 02:46:26,959
Speaker 1: win Week six, we kind of held him in check.

3298
02:46:27,120 --> 02:46:29,440
Speaker 1: We win. Yeah, he's a real he's a real key,

3299
02:46:29,760 --> 02:46:31,880
Speaker 1: and I'm not That's the one where I'm kind of like, Man,

3300
02:46:31,959 --> 02:46:35,160
Speaker 1: I don't I don't know what to do with him

3301
02:46:35,360 --> 02:46:38,480
Speaker 1: because I just don't think you can treat him like

3302
02:46:39,400 --> 02:46:42,080
Speaker 1: a tight end. And the Texans don't. They don't treat

3303
02:46:42,160 --> 02:46:44,959
Speaker 1: him like a tight end. They put either their best

3304
02:46:45,000 --> 02:46:48,400
Speaker 1: safety on him, Justin Reid, or they put Lonnie Johnson

3305
02:46:48,480 --> 02:46:52,600
Speaker 1: on him. They don't allow Kelsey to go against a

3306
02:46:52,680 --> 02:46:56,080
Speaker 1: linebacker at all. Then if they do, if it's Zach,

3307
02:46:56,480 --> 02:46:59,000
Speaker 1: they give help to double him. And I think that's

3308
02:46:59,040 --> 02:47:00,920
Speaker 1: probably what they're gonna end up doing. I think they're

3309
02:47:00,920 --> 02:47:03,840
Speaker 1: probably gonna have to use a couple of different guys.

3310
02:47:03,879 --> 02:47:06,160
Speaker 1: And you talked earlier, and we talked earlier about a J. Moore.

3311
02:47:06,520 --> 02:47:08,240
Speaker 1: You know, I don't know that AJ is the guy

3312
02:47:08,360 --> 02:47:10,880
Speaker 1: to cover Travis Kelsey, but you know, maybe what he

3313
02:47:11,000 --> 02:47:13,600
Speaker 1: ends up being is a guy that, in tandem with

3314
02:47:14,320 --> 02:47:19,440
Speaker 1: another cover guy, can help limit Kelsey through a bunch

3315
02:47:19,520 --> 02:47:22,039
Speaker 1: of different brackets and double teams or whatever the case

3316
02:47:22,160 --> 02:47:24,560
Speaker 1: might be. But I think you have to take out

3317
02:47:25,080 --> 02:47:28,360
Speaker 1: Kelsey because whenever he has had great games against us.

3318
02:47:28,760 --> 02:47:32,080
Speaker 1: They win. Whenever we have limited his impact, we've won.

3319
02:47:32,400 --> 02:47:35,400
Speaker 1: And it's it's not that simple, but I do think

3320
02:47:35,480 --> 02:47:37,760
Speaker 1: to slow that offense down, if you can take out

3321
02:47:37,879 --> 02:47:41,760
Speaker 1: that element, the Kelsey element, and really slow it down,

3322
02:47:41,920 --> 02:47:44,000
Speaker 1: I feel like that's that's when that offense goes to

3323
02:47:44,040 --> 02:47:46,280
Speaker 1: a different level, is when he is clicking, and when

3324
02:47:46,320 --> 02:47:49,160
Speaker 1: mahomes and here clicking, then it's really trouble. The next

3325
02:47:49,280 --> 02:47:52,400
Speaker 1: matchup I have with the Texans versus Kensity Chiefs is

3326
02:47:52,480 --> 02:47:55,039
Speaker 1: more of a chess match, and this is the Shaun

3327
02:47:55,160 --> 02:47:57,880
Speaker 1: Watson versus Thym Matthew. I think when you look at

3328
02:47:57,920 --> 02:48:01,000
Speaker 1: Tym Matthew, he's one of those safeties that prides himself

3329
02:48:01,080 --> 02:48:03,520
Speaker 1: on being able to know what the quarterback is thinking.

3330
02:48:03,600 --> 02:48:05,600
Speaker 1: The fact that he was here with the Texans for

3331
02:48:05,760 --> 02:48:08,720
Speaker 1: a year, he kind of understands what Bill O'Brien is

3332
02:48:08,760 --> 02:48:12,279
Speaker 1: thinking and what the offensive philosophy is. He made plays

3333
02:48:12,360 --> 02:48:14,800
Speaker 1: last year and playoffs against the Texans. How do you

3334
02:48:14,879 --> 02:48:18,280
Speaker 1: see that matchup, Deshauna Watson versus Ti Matthews. Yeah, the

3335
02:48:18,360 --> 02:48:20,920
Speaker 1: one thing you want to do wait, and this kind

3336
02:48:20,920 --> 02:48:22,920
Speaker 1: of goes back to our discussion a little earlier about

3337
02:48:22,959 --> 02:48:26,880
Speaker 1: empty formations. Is you want to make sure that you

3338
02:48:27,280 --> 02:48:32,760
Speaker 1: catch Tie or you force Tie into playing man coverage. Yes,

3339
02:48:33,240 --> 02:48:36,440
Speaker 1: you force him into playing man coverage. What you want

3340
02:48:36,480 --> 02:48:40,640
Speaker 1: to stay away from is letting Tie sit back there

3341
02:48:40,680 --> 02:48:45,039
Speaker 1: and zone and read eyes and read routes and jump routes.

3342
02:48:45,240 --> 02:48:47,959
Speaker 1: That's to me, when time Matthew is at his best

3343
02:48:48,080 --> 02:48:50,400
Speaker 1: when he's sitting back there and he's floating and he's

3344
02:48:50,440 --> 02:48:52,960
Speaker 1: just reading eyes and he can take chances and he

3345
02:48:53,080 --> 02:48:56,000
Speaker 1: can take some calculated risks. That's when he's gonna come

3346
02:48:56,120 --> 02:48:59,120
Speaker 1: up with ball plays. But if you force him to

3347
02:48:59,400 --> 02:49:02,160
Speaker 1: have to hover, and the Texans did that on the

3348
02:49:02,280 --> 02:49:05,400
Speaker 1: first drive of the game in the playoff game. They

3349
02:49:05,560 --> 02:49:08,000
Speaker 1: forced him to have to come up and cover, and

3350
02:49:08,080 --> 02:49:11,640
Speaker 1: they stuck Will in the slot and so ties on Will,

3351
02:49:12,560 --> 02:49:15,800
Speaker 1: and Will just smoked him off the ball. The Sean

3352
02:49:15,920 --> 02:49:18,280
Speaker 1: flifted to him and ended up getting a big first down.

3353
02:49:18,280 --> 02:49:19,640
Speaker 1: I think I was third down that got that on

3354
02:49:19,920 --> 02:49:21,560
Speaker 1: and ended up getting a big first down. And So

3355
02:49:21,680 --> 02:49:24,280
Speaker 1: when Ty was asked this offseason, who's the toughest guy

3356
02:49:24,320 --> 02:49:27,119
Speaker 1: who had to guard he said Will Fuller, Well, exactly

3357
02:49:27,240 --> 02:49:29,320
Speaker 1: because he had to come up and play man coverage.

3358
02:49:30,320 --> 02:49:33,040
Speaker 1: He can handle certain players and man coverage, Like, could

3359
02:49:33,080 --> 02:49:35,200
Speaker 1: he stay with Fells all around the field, Sure, could

3360
02:49:35,200 --> 02:49:37,640
Speaker 1: he stay with Jordan Nakins all over the field. Probably,

3361
02:49:38,000 --> 02:49:40,160
Speaker 1: But if you throw a bunch of if you throw

3362
02:49:40,280 --> 02:49:42,840
Speaker 1: David Johnson out there with a bunch of receivers and

3363
02:49:43,080 --> 02:49:44,680
Speaker 1: now he has to come up and play one of

3364
02:49:44,720 --> 02:49:47,480
Speaker 1: those guys one on one, I think you have an advantage.

3365
02:49:47,920 --> 02:49:50,040
Speaker 1: And so the more that you can force him into

3366
02:49:50,080 --> 02:49:52,920
Speaker 1: playing man, and I would guess he would be the

3367
02:49:53,040 --> 02:49:55,960
Speaker 1: guy going to man coverage as opposed to one Thornhill.

3368
02:49:56,320 --> 02:49:59,560
Speaker 1: I think if Thornhill were one hundred percent healthy, then

3369
02:49:59,640 --> 02:50:01,640
Speaker 1: I think might be the other way around, where Thornhill

3370
02:50:01,800 --> 02:50:04,000
Speaker 1: might draw the man and then ty I could sit

3371
02:50:04,040 --> 02:50:05,560
Speaker 1: in the middle and float in the middle of the

3372
02:50:05,600 --> 02:50:08,000
Speaker 1: field playing cover one. But Thornhill is coming off that

3373
02:50:08,080 --> 02:50:11,280
Speaker 1: acl tear, and then when it's Dan Sorenson out there,

3374
02:50:11,600 --> 02:50:13,879
Speaker 1: I don't know how much you want Dan Sorenson playing man.

3375
02:50:14,360 --> 02:50:16,880
Speaker 1: You're you're gonna probably pick Tyrn Matthew to play man

3376
02:50:16,959 --> 02:50:19,560
Speaker 1: over somebody. So depending on how they go with it,

3377
02:50:19,600 --> 02:50:21,360
Speaker 1: I think Tie is gonna end up having to cover

3378
02:50:21,720 --> 02:50:23,640
Speaker 1: in man coverage or they're gonna play his zone. If

3379
02:50:23,680 --> 02:50:25,760
Speaker 1: they play his zone, then Deshaun should be able to

3380
02:50:25,840 --> 02:50:29,120
Speaker 1: pick and choose his spots in the zone. If they're

3381
02:50:29,120 --> 02:50:31,640
Speaker 1: gonna play man, then I think you can attack Tyrant

3382
02:50:31,680 --> 02:50:35,320
Speaker 1: from that perspective because you've got receivers that can beat

3383
02:50:35,440 --> 02:50:39,440
Speaker 1: him in man coverage. So I like the matchup. But

3384
02:50:39,520 --> 02:50:41,720
Speaker 1: if but if he's allowed, if you get the third

3385
02:50:41,760 --> 02:50:44,720
Speaker 1: and twelve and now they can play, you know, they

3386
02:50:44,760 --> 02:50:46,840
Speaker 1: can play two man and ties one of the safeties,

3387
02:50:46,840 --> 02:50:48,440
Speaker 1: playing over the top where he can just float and

3388
02:50:48,520 --> 02:50:50,880
Speaker 1: reach you. You're done. You're dead. He'll kill you. He'll

3389
02:50:50,879 --> 02:50:53,359
Speaker 1: absolutely kill you. But if you get yourself in situations

3390
02:50:53,400 --> 02:50:57,160
Speaker 1: where first and ten you're attacking, and you're attacking and

3391
02:50:57,240 --> 02:50:58,920
Speaker 1: you're going at them, so where you could set up

3392
02:50:58,920 --> 02:51:01,280
Speaker 1: second in two and they're like, crap, all right, we're

3393
02:51:01,320 --> 02:51:02,920
Speaker 1: gonna bring a little heat now. So now he's gonna

3394
02:51:02,920 --> 02:51:05,400
Speaker 1: play man. You burn him there, You run your up tempo,

3395
02:51:05,400 --> 02:51:06,800
Speaker 1: and you kind of keep him in the same look.

3396
02:51:06,959 --> 02:51:09,160
Speaker 1: You're gonna be fine. But you can't get yourself in

3397
02:51:09,640 --> 02:51:11,560
Speaker 1: second and long, third and long because he'll just sit

3398
02:51:11,600 --> 02:51:14,240
Speaker 1: back there and zone coverage, playing over the top of things,

3399
02:51:14,280 --> 02:51:16,640
Speaker 1: and then eat you up. I agree, I agree totally

3400
02:51:16,720 --> 02:51:18,160
Speaker 1: with that. You put him in man coverage with the

3401
02:51:18,200 --> 02:51:20,560
Speaker 1: speed that you have a receiver or the shiftiness of

3402
02:51:20,600 --> 02:51:22,280
Speaker 1: the of the running backs, you're in good shape. But

3403
02:51:22,320 --> 02:51:24,080
Speaker 1: if you just let him be a playmaker, you just

3404
02:51:24,200 --> 02:51:25,960
Speaker 1: let him do what he feels comfortable with, then you're

3405
02:51:26,000 --> 02:51:29,840
Speaker 1: gonna you're gonna struggle. Okay, next matchup, guard to guard

3406
02:51:30,080 --> 02:51:33,520
Speaker 1: and then versus Chris Jones. Now real quick, Hope I

3407
02:51:33,640 --> 02:51:35,920
Speaker 1: had to be checked on this because I'm thinking, abou,

3408
02:51:35,920 --> 02:51:37,680
Speaker 1: who's the guards gonna be with Chris Jones. Chris Jones'

3409
02:51:37,680 --> 02:51:39,680
Speaker 1: boos around, he's gonna be in the three technique's gonna

3410
02:51:39,680 --> 02:51:41,440
Speaker 1: be the one technique. He's gonna be all all through

3411
02:51:41,560 --> 02:51:44,640
Speaker 1: the So guard to guards, so guard, center guard versus

3412
02:51:44,680 --> 02:51:47,760
Speaker 1: Chris Jones, I think you almost have to create. And

3413
02:51:48,080 --> 02:51:49,760
Speaker 1: the thing is is you won't have any experience of

3414
02:51:49,840 --> 02:51:51,800
Speaker 1: facing him because you're facing me the time last year.

3415
02:51:52,240 --> 02:51:54,119
Speaker 1: I think you have to treat Chris Jones a lot

3416
02:51:54,160 --> 02:51:58,280
Speaker 1: like Aaron Donald, and that is you're gonna have to

3417
02:51:58,320 --> 02:52:01,119
Speaker 1: force everybody else to win. Aarony and Titus are gonna

3418
02:52:01,120 --> 02:52:03,040
Speaker 1: have to be one on one outside on Clark and

3419
02:52:03,480 --> 02:52:06,560
Speaker 1: whoever else is out there on the outside. And then

3420
02:52:06,720 --> 02:52:11,120
Speaker 1: you're gonna have to devote two to Jones, because that

3421
02:52:11,320 --> 02:52:14,480
Speaker 1: joker is as good as it gets on the inside.

3422
02:52:14,600 --> 02:52:16,120
Speaker 1: The other thing you have to be able to do

3423
02:52:16,840 --> 02:52:18,640
Speaker 1: is when you run the ball, you have to hit

3424
02:52:18,720 --> 02:52:21,720
Speaker 1: that guy with six hundred pounds of people because you've

3425
02:52:21,760 --> 02:52:25,000
Speaker 1: got to wear him down. He is an absolute problem.

3426
02:52:25,200 --> 02:52:29,720
Speaker 1: But he's a problem when teams get lackadaisical and they

3427
02:52:29,879 --> 02:52:32,840
Speaker 1: just slide a protection and it's one guy on him,

3428
02:52:33,120 --> 02:52:35,560
Speaker 1: They've you've got to devote a couple of guys to him.

3429
02:52:35,720 --> 02:52:37,440
Speaker 1: And I remember Aaron Donald in the Super Bowl saying

3430
02:52:37,480 --> 02:52:39,880
Speaker 1: to the Patriots, come on, man, he'll give me one

3431
02:52:39,920 --> 02:52:41,680
Speaker 1: on one. Come on, man, give me one on one.

3432
02:52:41,720 --> 02:52:44,279
Speaker 1: With the Patriots weren't stupid. Well, you can't be stupid

3433
02:52:44,280 --> 02:52:47,320
Speaker 1: against Chris Jones. Either you have to be able with

3434
02:52:47,959 --> 02:52:50,400
Speaker 1: Nick and Zach or you have to do with Nick

3435
02:52:50,440 --> 02:52:54,600
Speaker 1: and Sharping. You have to have two guys devoted to Jones,

3436
02:52:54,840 --> 02:52:59,040
Speaker 1: And whether that changes your protections up front, then so

3437
02:52:59,240 --> 02:53:02,320
Speaker 1: be it. But you can't. You cannot allow ninety five

3438
02:53:02,360 --> 02:53:05,560
Speaker 1: to wreck the game right up the middle where and

3439
02:53:05,840 --> 02:53:07,720
Speaker 1: I've said it forever. I mean, I know you want

3440
02:53:07,720 --> 02:53:09,600
Speaker 1: to have edge rushers and edg rushers get all, get

3441
02:53:09,600 --> 02:53:12,400
Speaker 1: all the money, But if you've got to if you've

3442
02:53:12,440 --> 02:53:15,279
Speaker 1: got a really good interior pocket pusher from the inside,

3443
02:53:15,760 --> 02:53:18,160
Speaker 1: like if Charles Manorhu and Ross Blacklock can do their

3444
02:53:18,200 --> 02:53:21,560
Speaker 1: think from the inside, that to me is so valuable

3445
02:53:21,680 --> 02:53:24,520
Speaker 1: because quarterbacks see that it's coming run at their feet.

3446
02:53:24,560 --> 02:53:27,039
Speaker 1: They don't know what to do when you've got pocket

3447
02:53:27,080 --> 02:53:28,960
Speaker 1: pusher run at you. I think that's why Donald is

3448
02:53:29,000 --> 02:53:31,240
Speaker 1: so tough to stop. So I think you've got it

3449
02:53:31,320 --> 02:53:33,280
Speaker 1: to vote a couple of guys to Chris Jones on

3450
02:53:33,400 --> 02:53:36,160
Speaker 1: nearly every play. And then when you run, even if

3451
02:53:36,200 --> 02:53:39,280
Speaker 1: you're running running zone, you've got to make sure that

3452
02:53:39,600 --> 02:53:41,600
Speaker 1: you know he's being hit ba bang, you know you're

3453
02:53:41,760 --> 02:53:46,400
Speaker 1: putting a physical pounding on him to slow him down,

3454
02:53:47,280 --> 02:53:49,320
Speaker 1: because that's really the only chance you're gonna have them

3455
02:53:49,400 --> 02:53:50,880
Speaker 1: the third and fourth quarter is that he starts to

3456
02:53:50,920 --> 02:53:53,360
Speaker 1: fatigue a little bit. And Okay, now at that point,

3457
02:53:53,400 --> 02:53:55,720
Speaker 1: maybe you can win someone on one matchups against him,

3458
02:53:55,720 --> 02:53:58,240
Speaker 1: but you better slow that joker down because if he's

3459
02:53:58,240 --> 02:54:00,640
Speaker 1: eating in the backfield, forget it. We're gonna be flying

3460
02:54:00,680 --> 02:54:03,000
Speaker 1: back with l Yeah. Chris Jones is one of those

3461

03:02:18,560 --> 03:02:22,200
Speaker 1: there any veterans Sean that you say to yourself, this

3612
03:02:22,520 --> 03:02:26,600
Speaker 1: might not be your year. They might be leaving in Houston, Texans. Yeah,

3613
03:02:26,800 --> 03:02:29,320
Speaker 1: that's a that's a really good question, Wade, because I

3614
03:02:29,959 --> 03:02:33,560
Speaker 1: this team is you know for a team that I

3615
03:02:33,600 --> 03:02:36,120
Speaker 1: don't think is viewed necessarily as a tippy top team

3616
03:02:36,160 --> 03:02:37,840
Speaker 1: in the NFL. I think it's viewed as a potentially

3617
03:02:37,920 --> 03:02:40,360
Speaker 1: good team, but maybe not a great team yet. We'll see.

3618
03:02:41,800 --> 03:02:44,280
Speaker 1: Their roster is pretty solidified, you know. I feel like

3619
03:02:44,360 --> 03:02:47,199
Speaker 1: there's probably forty guys that are set that are gonna

3620
03:02:47,240 --> 03:02:49,280
Speaker 1: make this team, yeah, that we know about, like more

3621
03:02:49,320 --> 03:02:52,360
Speaker 1: than usual. Like I do that exercise every year a

3622
03:02:52,480 --> 03:02:55,520
Speaker 1: few times during training camp where I go, Okay, if

3623
03:02:55,680 --> 03:02:57,720
Speaker 1: if they were to play starting tomorrow, this is what

3624
03:02:57,840 --> 03:02:59,600
Speaker 1: the fifty three would look like, you know, and you

3625
03:02:59,680 --> 03:03:02,840
Speaker 1: do it after the first preseason game, the second preseason game.

3626
03:03:02,879 --> 03:03:04,600
Speaker 1: There's been no preseason game, so I've done it a

3627
03:03:04,640 --> 03:03:07,400
Speaker 1: couple of times, and more than any other year. For

3628
03:03:07,520 --> 03:03:09,600
Speaker 1: whatever reason, it feels like this team has more guys

3629
03:03:09,640 --> 03:03:11,800
Speaker 1: that I know are going to make the team. But

3630
03:03:11,920 --> 03:03:16,400
Speaker 1: if you're talking about veteran guys on this team, I

3631
03:03:16,560 --> 03:03:19,200
Speaker 1: think depending on how you define veteran, you know, like

3632
03:03:19,320 --> 03:03:21,720
Speaker 1: I like Carlos Watkins is a guy who's been on

3633
03:03:21,800 --> 03:03:24,720
Speaker 1: this team for three years now. You know, depending on

3634
03:03:24,920 --> 03:03:28,680
Speaker 1: how many defensive linemen they take into this season, depending

3635
03:03:28,720 --> 03:03:31,240
Speaker 1: on how they look at a guy like PJ. Hall,

3636
03:03:31,320 --> 03:03:33,280
Speaker 1: who they signed, who's got a lot of talent, but

3637
03:03:33,400 --> 03:03:35,680
Speaker 1: hasn't done much in practice and came in having to

3638
03:03:35,760 --> 03:03:38,360
Speaker 1: shed a little bit of weight. You know, Watkins is

3639
03:03:38,360 --> 03:03:40,960
Speaker 1: a guy who maybe fits that they have. They have

3640
03:03:41,080 --> 03:03:45,240
Speaker 1: some numbers at linebacker that are that are interesting, you know,

3641
03:03:45,320 --> 03:03:47,480
Speaker 1: like as a guy like Peter Columby was brought up

3642
03:03:47,520 --> 03:03:49,320
Speaker 1: today by O'Brien as a guy who's looked really good

3643
03:03:49,320 --> 03:03:51,560
Speaker 1: on special team. So I don't think he's in any

3644
03:03:51,640 --> 03:03:54,320
Speaker 1: sort of jeopardy, Like I don't think Dylan Cole's in jeopardy.

3645
03:03:54,360 --> 03:03:56,480
Speaker 1: But he hasn't done anything this camp yet. Like he's

3646
03:03:56,520 --> 03:03:59,840
Speaker 1: more likely to go on injured reserve than he is

3647
03:04:00,120 --> 03:04:03,560
Speaker 1: to get to get cut. And I think that's that's

3648
03:04:03,640 --> 03:04:05,680
Speaker 1: maybe the broader answer to your question is it's really

3649
03:04:05,760 --> 03:04:07,520
Speaker 1: hard to come up with with veteran guy, you know,

3650
03:04:07,560 --> 03:04:10,200
Speaker 1: like they signed Jalen Watkins this offseason. He's not a

3651
03:04:10,280 --> 03:04:12,720
Speaker 1: veteran with you know, he's a veteran in the league,

3652
03:04:12,800 --> 03:04:15,200
Speaker 1: but he's not necessarily a veteran with the Texans. So

3653
03:04:15,400 --> 03:04:18,840
Speaker 1: could he get caught up in a numbers game? Yeah maybe, um,

3654
03:04:19,280 --> 03:04:21,120
Speaker 1: like Vernon Hargraves, could he get caught up in a

3655
03:04:21,200 --> 03:04:23,800
Speaker 1: numbers game? Yeah, maybe that kind of thing At cornerback.

3656
03:04:24,320 --> 03:04:27,760
Speaker 1: But I think maybe the broader point is that the

3657
03:04:28,320 --> 03:04:31,720
Speaker 1: because of the coronavirus, having all this roster flexibility now

3658
03:04:32,520 --> 03:04:35,040
Speaker 1: that and and because there's veterans you can now put

3659
03:04:35,120 --> 03:04:37,920
Speaker 1: on the practice squad. Yeah, we're probably gonna see fewer

3660
03:04:38,280 --> 03:04:41,560
Speaker 1: veterans than we've ever seen in a cutdown period because

3661
03:04:41,640 --> 03:04:43,720
Speaker 1: you can keep six of them on a practice squad,

3662
03:04:43,800 --> 03:04:46,039
Speaker 1: you know, if they can make it through waivers or whatever.

3663
03:04:46,200 --> 03:04:49,440
Speaker 1: You know, you you um there. You can put a

3664
03:04:49,480 --> 03:04:51,840
Speaker 1: guy on injured reserve and bring him back after three weeks,

3665
03:04:52,440 --> 03:04:55,240
Speaker 1: you know. So there's just more ways to keep guys

3666
03:04:55,280 --> 03:04:58,920
Speaker 1: around that you want than years passed, if you want to. Yeah,

3667
03:04:59,080 --> 03:05:01,000
Speaker 1: I want to hear you about experience being one of

3668
03:05:01,040 --> 03:05:04,840
Speaker 1: the ten ten, one of the ten by the lucky

3669
03:05:04,959 --> 03:05:06,959
Speaker 1: ten people that get to go to the scrimmage jail.

3670
03:05:07,080 --> 03:05:09,520
Speaker 1: Just how was that you mentioned that they announced all

3671
03:05:09,560 --> 03:05:12,320
Speaker 1: the players. The PA guy was still going, that's the

3672
03:05:12,480 --> 03:05:15,560
Speaker 1: Houston Texans first, that's right, man, Yeah, No, it was.

3673
03:05:15,840 --> 03:05:19,680
Speaker 1: It was wild. It was it was a scene. We

3674
03:05:19,800 --> 03:05:21,640
Speaker 1: were the ten of us. We like to call ourselves

3675
03:05:21,680 --> 03:05:24,480
Speaker 1: the Magnificent ten. There you go, we were. I call

3676
03:05:24,600 --> 03:05:27,280
Speaker 1: us that. If the other anybody who was in that

3677
03:05:27,360 --> 03:05:29,120
Speaker 1: are listening. They're like, we don't call ourselves that. What

3678
03:05:29,200 --> 03:05:30,760
Speaker 1: are you talking about? No, I call us well, who

3679
03:05:30,800 --> 03:05:32,320
Speaker 1: sits at at the head of the table of the

3680
03:05:32,360 --> 03:05:35,280
Speaker 1: magnificent probably McClain out of tenure, you know what I mean,

3681
03:05:35,320 --> 03:05:37,960
Speaker 1: because he's you know, he's he's a good um, you know,

3682
03:05:38,560 --> 03:05:40,400
Speaker 1: thirty or forty years older than the rest of us.

3683
03:05:40,440 --> 03:05:44,039
Speaker 1: So I'm John, I'm just kidding listening, I'm just joking. Um.

3684
03:05:44,520 --> 03:05:47,240
Speaker 1: It was it was wild. It was they were doing.

3685
03:05:47,520 --> 03:05:49,760
Speaker 1: They were trying to simulate a game day. Bill O'Brien

3686
03:05:49,959 --> 03:05:52,040
Speaker 1: was as best he could. And you guys are former players,

3687
03:05:52,040 --> 03:05:53,520
Speaker 1: so you can speak to this better than I can.

3688
03:05:54,040 --> 03:05:55,880
Speaker 1: But Seth has said that there is something too that

3689
03:05:56,000 --> 03:05:58,440
Speaker 1: when I brought it up on our show that especially

3690
03:05:58,480 --> 03:06:00,760
Speaker 1: for rookies who didn't get a chance of any preseason

3691
03:06:00,800 --> 03:06:03,440
Speaker 1: games this year, like they don't know when they're supposed

3692
03:06:03,480 --> 03:06:05,280
Speaker 1: to go out for the first set of warmups. They

3693
03:06:05,280 --> 03:06:07,000
Speaker 1: don't know when they're supposed to put on the pads

3694
03:06:07,000 --> 03:06:08,760
Speaker 1: and go out for the next set of warmups. They

3695
03:06:08,800 --> 03:06:11,560
Speaker 1: don't know what the process is as far as how

3696
03:06:11,560 --> 03:06:13,320
Speaker 1: you line up in the tunnel to go out onto

3697
03:06:13,360 --> 03:06:16,560
Speaker 1: the field. Little things like that. That can probably be

3698
03:06:16,800 --> 03:06:19,880
Speaker 1: a source of anxiety in week one or two. How

3699
03:06:20,000 --> 03:06:22,200
Speaker 1: short halftime is, yes, yeah, I mean did they go

3700
03:06:22,280 --> 03:06:26,400
Speaker 1: in and do a halftime? They did, Yeah, they absolutely

3701
03:06:26,440 --> 03:06:29,560
Speaker 1: they went in a halftime. So yeah, it was cecil.

3702
03:06:29,640 --> 03:06:32,720
Speaker 1: It was. It was a game day experience right down

3703
03:06:32,800 --> 03:06:36,119
Speaker 1: to the presentation of the game. You know, they replayed

3704
03:06:36,160 --> 03:06:38,879
Speaker 1: plays up on the JumboTron. You know, we looked up

3705
03:06:38,920 --> 03:06:42,320
Speaker 1: and watched replays up there. The announcer introduced the team.

3706
03:06:42,320 --> 03:06:44,280
Speaker 1: They didn't introduce them one by one, but they said,

3707
03:06:44,400 --> 03:06:48,080
Speaker 1: introducing the Houston Texans, who will come out as a team. Um,

3708
03:06:48,360 --> 03:06:52,680
Speaker 1: after first downs, this is another Houston Texans first down,

3709
03:06:52,959 --> 03:06:55,360
Speaker 1: you know that kind of thing. They even they even

3710
03:06:55,400 --> 03:06:58,680
Speaker 1: played Clay Walker after twenty four yard field goals, which

3711
03:06:58,800 --> 03:07:01,240
Speaker 1: is is it sounds that's as Texan as it gets.

3712
03:07:01,920 --> 03:07:04,520
Speaker 1: That is that's a tradition like no other. Yeah, there

3713
03:07:04,720 --> 03:07:07,880
Speaker 1: were there coaches in the booths, Yes they were. There were.

3714
03:07:08,080 --> 03:07:10,000
Speaker 1: Now now Tim Kelly and Anthony Weaver are going to

3715
03:07:10,040 --> 03:07:11,800
Speaker 1: be on the sidelines up yere and I actually asked

3716
03:07:11,840 --> 03:07:14,240
Speaker 1: O'Brien about that earlier in training camp. Like, with no

3717
03:07:14,400 --> 03:07:18,280
Speaker 1: preseason games, how do you simulate a game situation for

3718
03:07:18,320 --> 03:07:20,480
Speaker 1: two guys who are calling plays for the first time,

3719
03:07:20,840 --> 03:07:24,440
Speaker 1: you know, Weaver and Tim Kelly, and O'Brien said that

3720
03:07:24,520 --> 03:07:26,480
Speaker 1: in that scrimmage, you know that that'll be a big

3721
03:07:26,560 --> 03:07:29,160
Speaker 1: part of it, in that scrimmage is creating situations for

3722
03:07:29,240 --> 03:07:32,240
Speaker 1: them that are as close to an actual game as

3723
03:07:32,280 --> 03:07:35,000
Speaker 1: it can possibly be. But yes, there were coaches up

3724
03:07:35,040 --> 03:07:38,039
Speaker 1: in the in the booth, but Weaver and Kelly are

3725
03:07:38,080 --> 03:07:39,880
Speaker 1: going to be down on the sidelines because O'Brien is

3726
03:07:39,920 --> 03:07:41,640
Speaker 1: a big believer that man. You've been working with these

3727
03:07:41,680 --> 03:07:44,200
Speaker 1: guys all week, you know, Kelly with Deshaun and the

3728
03:07:44,280 --> 03:07:48,760
Speaker 1: offensive players, Weaver with the defense that there's something to

3729
03:07:49,280 --> 03:07:52,040
Speaker 1: having them on the sideline in the heat of the

3730
03:07:52,120 --> 03:07:55,119
Speaker 1: battle and working with their guys face to face. He's

3731
03:07:55,120 --> 03:07:57,600
Speaker 1: a big believer in that. Yeah, there's another question that

3732
03:07:57,720 --> 03:07:59,800
Speaker 1: you asked Bill O'Brien and I gotta tuckle out of

3733
03:07:59,879 --> 03:08:02,920
Speaker 1: him earlier today. Had to do with the anniversary of

3734
03:08:03,200 --> 03:08:07,199
Speaker 1: the trades that were made last year with including Tumsul

3735
03:08:07,280 --> 03:08:10,600
Speaker 1: and Clowney and Martinez rankings, all those deals that was done.

3736
03:08:10,640 --> 03:08:13,280
Speaker 1: And he made that big chuckle and when he asked,

3737
03:08:13,400 --> 03:08:15,600
Speaker 1: when you asked him that question, he had to a

3738
03:08:15,760 --> 03:08:18,680
Speaker 1: no one at that time that the deal for Zach

3739
03:08:18,720 --> 03:08:22,200
Speaker 1: Cunningham was on the agenda like it was about to

3740
03:08:22,320 --> 03:08:25,400
Speaker 1: be made. So what do you make about that? That is,

3741
03:08:25,640 --> 03:08:27,400
Speaker 1: do you think this is a thing with Bill O'Brien

3742
03:08:27,520 --> 03:08:30,720
Speaker 1: that you know every year around August twenty nine, thirty

3743
03:08:30,800 --> 03:08:35,199
Speaker 1: thirty September one, we're gonna make a big time deal.

3744
03:08:35,320 --> 03:08:37,880
Speaker 1: And if you if you haven't been paying attention, if

3745
03:08:37,920 --> 03:08:40,560
Speaker 1: you just now tune into the show, Zach Cunningham just

3746
03:08:40,640 --> 03:08:43,080
Speaker 1: signed a four year extension for fifty eight million dollars.

3747
03:08:43,400 --> 03:08:46,400
Speaker 1: Big news for the Texans. Big news was Zach Cunningham. Um,

3748
03:08:46,560 --> 03:08:48,440
Speaker 1: when you when you go back and look at that,

3749
03:08:48,560 --> 03:08:50,400
Speaker 1: when you think about that question you asked it, and

3750
03:08:50,640 --> 03:08:52,039
Speaker 1: what he had to have been going through his head

3751
03:08:52,080 --> 03:08:54,120
Speaker 1: at the time, what do you make of that? Does

3752
03:08:54,160 --> 03:08:56,600
Speaker 1: Zach Cunningham do? I thought the exact same thing when

3753
03:08:56,640 --> 03:08:59,160
Speaker 1: the Cunningham deal came down. I thought the exact same thing. Wait,

3754
03:08:59,240 --> 03:09:02,960
Speaker 1: I'm like that open Ryan you when I asked him that,

3755
03:09:03,080 --> 03:09:05,879
Speaker 1: I thought, Oh, Brian, you can't trust that guy. Um

3756
03:09:06,200 --> 03:09:09,680
Speaker 1: just kidding, coach, if you're listening, But uh, I would say, um,

3757
03:09:10,560 --> 03:09:13,560
Speaker 1: you know, the start of the season for deals like this.

3758
03:09:13,720 --> 03:09:15,440
Speaker 1: The start of the season has always been sort of

3759
03:09:15,480 --> 03:09:18,280
Speaker 1: an artificial not even an artificial deadline, and the Rick

3760
03:09:18,360 --> 03:09:20,840
Speaker 1: Smith days it was a real deadline to get deals

3761
03:09:20,920 --> 03:09:23,560
Speaker 1: like that done. You remember Matt Shaw probably most famously,

3762
03:09:23,959 --> 03:09:26,440
Speaker 1: you know, after the opener in twenty twelve. I want

3763
03:09:26,480 --> 03:09:28,680
Speaker 1: to say, you guys played the Dolphins and after the game,

3764
03:09:28,720 --> 03:09:31,120
Speaker 1: there's a press conference because shop the night before it signed,

3765
03:09:31,520 --> 03:09:33,360
Speaker 1: maybe even the morning of the game whatever, it's signed,

3766
03:09:33,440 --> 03:09:36,560
Speaker 1: his contract extension. So at him funny too, after that

3767
03:09:36,720 --> 03:09:38,200
Speaker 1: is a side No, we looked at him. So you're

3768
03:09:38,200 --> 03:09:39,920
Speaker 1: just getting deals done the night before the game, and

3769
03:09:39,959 --> 03:09:42,200
Speaker 1: we're telling anybody how about the funny? Did he defer

3770
03:09:42,280 --> 03:09:43,680
Speaker 1: to his agent that because that's what you guys are

3771
03:09:43,720 --> 03:09:46,480
Speaker 1: supposed to do, right He just gave you a look

3772
03:09:46,520 --> 03:09:48,320
Speaker 1: and a looking like, hey man, you know it is

3773
03:09:48,360 --> 03:09:49,840
Speaker 1: what it is, and then we kept the movie. Yeah,

3774
03:09:49,840 --> 03:09:54,040
Speaker 1: I don't know, right, you're buying dinner, m no question,

3775
03:09:54,160 --> 03:09:56,000
Speaker 1: I don't I don't you know. I don't know if this,

3776
03:09:56,440 --> 03:09:58,280
Speaker 1: like if this becomes an annual thing, but it's a

3777
03:09:58,400 --> 03:10:00,760
Speaker 1: logical time to get stuff like this done with the

3778
03:10:00,840 --> 03:10:04,520
Speaker 1: season being imminent, you know, roster cut down things like that,

3779
03:10:04,640 --> 03:10:06,920
Speaker 1: like O'Brien wants to know what the world is gonna

3780
03:10:06,959 --> 03:10:08,600
Speaker 1: look like here pretty soon, and he's gonna have a

3781
03:10:08,640 --> 03:10:11,560
Speaker 1: good idea obviously what his roster looks like later this week.

3782
03:10:11,800 --> 03:10:13,360
Speaker 1: This is stuff they've been working on, you know, And

3783
03:10:13,440 --> 03:10:16,400
Speaker 1: we'll see if Deshaun Watson gets his deal done before

3784
03:10:16,440 --> 03:10:19,480
Speaker 1: the season starts. You're right, he did chuckle when I

3785
03:10:19,560 --> 03:10:21,840
Speaker 1: brought up the anniversary. I didn't bring up what I

3786
03:10:21,920 --> 03:10:23,680
Speaker 1: call that Saturday too him because I thought that I

3787
03:10:23,760 --> 03:10:25,680
Speaker 1: call it swat meat Saturday is what I call it.

3788
03:10:27,680 --> 03:10:29,280
Speaker 1: If I had brought that up, I think you a coach,

3789
03:10:29,320 --> 03:10:31,560
Speaker 1: it's been the one year anniversary since swap meet Saturday.

3790
03:10:31,560 --> 03:10:33,199
Speaker 1: I don't think you would have laughed, he laughs, Because

3791
03:10:33,200 --> 03:10:35,480
Speaker 1: I just brought up the is the anniversary because I

3792
03:10:36,080 --> 03:10:37,879
Speaker 1: think he just thought it was funny that there's somebody

3793
03:10:37,920 --> 03:10:40,320
Speaker 1: out there who's actually looking at dates on stuff like this,

3794
03:10:40,600 --> 03:10:44,560
Speaker 1: you know. But I was genuinely curious, like we've got

3795
03:10:44,640 --> 03:10:46,920
Speaker 1: a year worth of data now, you know. And especially

3796
03:10:47,080 --> 03:10:49,879
Speaker 1: I wasn't expecting him to necessarily throw any shade at

3797
03:10:49,920 --> 03:10:53,200
Speaker 1: Clowney or anything like that. But I would imagine that

3798
03:10:53,280 --> 03:10:55,400
Speaker 1: Jacob Martin has had a good training camp we'll see

3799
03:10:55,520 --> 03:10:57,880
Speaker 1: what happens with Conley, who they use that third pick

3800
03:10:58,280 --> 03:11:00,800
Speaker 1: to go get and they got in that deal. Yeah, um,

3801
03:11:01,120 --> 03:11:02,800
Speaker 1: and the Clowney is still out there on the market.

3802
03:11:03,040 --> 03:11:04,800
Speaker 1: I don't know that it makes that deal any more

3803
03:11:04,840 --> 03:11:06,840
Speaker 1: equitable for the Texans because they think you would have

3804
03:11:06,840 --> 03:11:09,440
Speaker 1: liked to see them get more for Clowney. But I

3805
03:11:09,520 --> 03:11:11,960
Speaker 1: tend to agree with O'Brien's assessment of it is we

3806
03:11:12,080 --> 03:11:15,880
Speaker 1: feel like taking in its totality that after those we

3807
03:11:15,920 --> 03:11:18,160
Speaker 1: were a better football team last year because of those trades,

3808
03:11:18,200 --> 03:11:21,000
Speaker 1: and we're a better football team going forward. The key now, guys,

3809
03:11:21,160 --> 03:11:23,680
Speaker 1: is they've got to be good this year so that

3810
03:11:23,840 --> 03:11:26,320
Speaker 1: that first round pick and second round pick that Miami

3811
03:11:26,400 --> 03:11:27,920
Speaker 1: is getting or at the back end of the first

3812
03:11:28,000 --> 03:11:30,120
Speaker 1: round and not at the end of the first round,

3813
03:11:30,240 --> 03:11:32,080
Speaker 1: where you know, if they go six and ten or

3814
03:11:32,160 --> 03:11:34,400
Speaker 1: something like that, big difference between picking ninth and picking

3815
03:11:34,440 --> 03:11:36,600
Speaker 1: twenty eighth, you know that kind of thing. Yeah, Miami's

3816
03:11:36,600 --> 03:11:38,000
Speaker 1: going to be a team to watch. You know. They

3817
03:11:38,040 --> 03:11:40,720
Speaker 1: got they got a lot of good young players on

3818
03:11:40,800 --> 03:11:42,400
Speaker 1: that roster, and they got a bunch of picks just

3819
03:11:42,480 --> 03:11:44,320
Speaker 1: from various people. They traded a bunch of guys away

3820
03:11:44,480 --> 03:11:46,680
Speaker 1: trade away Meeker Fitzpatrick, and of course they trade away

3821
03:11:46,680 --> 03:11:49,960
Speaker 1: toun Soil. They got a coach too. I think they're

3822
03:11:49,959 --> 03:11:52,160
Speaker 1: gonna be something to do with give me one guy.

3823
03:11:52,680 --> 03:11:55,520
Speaker 1: You had to pick one guy that nobody's really talking about,

3824
03:11:55,640 --> 03:11:57,280
Speaker 1: or it's kind of on the bubble that's going to

3825
03:11:57,360 --> 03:12:00,320
Speaker 1: make the team. Okay, a guy who's going to make

3826
03:12:00,360 --> 03:12:02,680
Speaker 1: the team, who's on the bubble. I I outlined earlier,

3827
03:12:02,720 --> 03:12:04,760
Speaker 1: there are not many there are not many bubble spots.

3828
03:12:04,800 --> 03:12:07,680
Speaker 1: Early in camp it was Chad Hanson, the wide receiver.

3829
03:12:08,120 --> 03:12:11,000
Speaker 1: Unfortunately in the scrimmage, he got tackled by Lonnie Johnson

3830
03:12:11,080 --> 03:12:13,800
Speaker 1: like legit like tackled like Lonnie came up. It was

3831
03:12:14,000 --> 03:12:15,840
Speaker 1: it was a quick you know, just a quick hitter

3832
03:12:15,920 --> 03:12:18,600
Speaker 1: to the outside. Yeah, and and Lonnie. Look, if it

3833
03:12:18,680 --> 03:12:20,039
Speaker 1: was a real game, you would have said, hell will

3834
03:12:20,080 --> 03:12:21,800
Speaker 1: play by Lonnie there to stop him for a two

3835
03:12:21,879 --> 03:12:24,200
Speaker 1: yard loss. I just don't think Chad Hanson was expecting

3836
03:12:24,840 --> 03:12:27,160
Speaker 1: to get tackled. And I think sometimes right when you're

3837
03:12:27,200 --> 03:12:29,760
Speaker 1: not expecting to get tackled, like you guys knowing if

3838
03:12:29,760 --> 03:12:31,440
Speaker 1: you're in a real game, like you're getting tackled, you

3839
03:12:31,520 --> 03:12:33,640
Speaker 1: sort of brace intense up your body a certain way.

3840
03:12:33,959 --> 03:12:36,680
Speaker 1: I don't think Hanson was clearly not expecting to get tackled,

3841
03:12:36,680 --> 03:12:38,000
Speaker 1: because then he got up and they were working on

3842
03:12:38,080 --> 03:12:40,720
Speaker 1: his shoulder, that kind of thing. So I think, wait,

3843
03:12:40,760 --> 03:12:44,680
Speaker 1: real quick, the line selling break after that, I don't

3844
03:12:44,760 --> 03:12:47,040
Speaker 1: remember that. That's the thing if he was. Now that

3845
03:12:47,080 --> 03:12:49,800
Speaker 1: was an intentional hit about Lonnie though, And I was

3846
03:12:49,840 --> 03:12:52,040
Speaker 1: gonna ask you this sun, does that make you a

3847
03:12:52,080 --> 03:12:55,200
Speaker 1: little bit apprehensive about Lonnie Johnson? Because last year he

3848
03:12:55,320 --> 03:12:57,520
Speaker 1: had issues with being a little bit too aggressive, a

3849
03:12:57,560 --> 03:12:59,840
Speaker 1: lot of penalties dealing with, you know, some of the

3850
03:13:00,000 --> 03:13:02,960
Speaker 1: bigger receivers he saw, dealing with Kelsey. Is that's something

3851
03:13:03,440 --> 03:13:06,200
Speaker 1: you know he would an effected. Hey, this guy, you

3852
03:13:06,320 --> 03:13:08,360
Speaker 1: know it's a third period. We're not tackling guys in

3853
03:13:08,400 --> 03:13:10,039
Speaker 1: the ground, but you're kind of showing a little bit

3854
03:13:10,080 --> 03:13:13,040
Speaker 1: of somewhat a lack of discipline. You think that concerns

3855
03:13:13,080 --> 03:13:15,400
Speaker 1: you at all? He was he was handsy throughout camp,

3856
03:13:15,480 --> 03:13:17,560
Speaker 1: still a little bit. You know, he'd improved on some

3857
03:13:17,680 --> 03:13:19,680
Speaker 1: of it, and he's improved his footwork and things like that.

3858
03:13:20,080 --> 03:13:22,240
Speaker 1: And right now he would be one of the starting

3859
03:13:22,280 --> 03:13:24,400
Speaker 1: corners if they were to play Kansas City tomorrow, like

3860
03:13:24,480 --> 03:13:26,640
Speaker 1: he was getting Gary and Conley has kind of taken

3861
03:13:26,680 --> 03:13:29,400
Speaker 1: a step back this training camp. I think Cecil To

3862
03:13:29,440 --> 03:13:31,080
Speaker 1: answer your question, I don't know if there's a guy

3863
03:13:31,160 --> 03:13:33,240
Speaker 1: who like is just floating around out there that nobody

3864
03:13:33,280 --> 03:13:35,120
Speaker 1: expects to make the team necessarily, But I think a

3865
03:13:35,160 --> 03:13:37,640
Speaker 1: guy who's gonna have a bigger role early on than

3866
03:13:37,680 --> 03:13:39,520
Speaker 1: maybe we thought he would because he's a rookie as

3867
03:13:39,600 --> 03:13:42,640
Speaker 1: John Reid, the cornerback out of Penn State. He's getting

3868
03:13:42,640 --> 03:13:44,880
Speaker 1: a lot of love from the coaches. He has looked

3869
03:13:44,959 --> 03:13:47,520
Speaker 1: throughout camp and as I was taking my notes, I'm like, boy,

3870
03:13:47,520 --> 03:13:49,920
Speaker 1: I sure hope people who are smart about these things

3871
03:13:49,959 --> 03:13:52,120
Speaker 1: agree with me, and they did that. He's looked the

3872
03:13:52,240 --> 03:13:55,160
Speaker 1: part throughout camp like, he doesn't look overwhelmed. He's where

3873
03:13:55,160 --> 03:13:56,840
Speaker 1: he needs to be on the field. He's getting a

3874
03:13:56,879 --> 03:14:00,200
Speaker 1: lot of looks at doing different things, Gunner returned guy

3875
03:14:00,640 --> 03:14:02,440
Speaker 1: things like that. So they're putting a lot on his plate.

3876
03:14:02,480 --> 03:14:04,080
Speaker 1: They don't feel like it's too much for him. He's

3877
03:14:04,080 --> 03:14:08,000
Speaker 1: really he's a really smart guy, and there's there's potential

3878
03:14:08,160 --> 03:14:11,119
Speaker 1: for snaps at that slot corner where they've been playing

3879
03:14:11,160 --> 03:14:12,600
Speaker 1: him because of the ripple effect of what we just

3880
03:14:12,680 --> 03:14:15,840
Speaker 1: talked about. If if Gary and Connley's not ready to

3881
03:14:15,879 --> 03:14:17,800
Speaker 1: be one of the outside corners on this team to

3882
03:14:17,879 --> 03:14:20,000
Speaker 1: start out, then Roby's gonna have to move outside. I

3883
03:14:20,040 --> 03:14:21,640
Speaker 1: think the thought is that Roby would be the slot

3884
03:14:21,680 --> 03:14:23,240
Speaker 1: corner if you got the top three guys all on

3885
03:14:23,280 --> 03:14:26,960
Speaker 1: the field, Conley and Lonnie and Roby. If Connley's not

3886
03:14:27,040 --> 03:14:29,199
Speaker 1: ready to get on the field on a regular basis,

3887
03:14:29,440 --> 03:14:31,560
Speaker 1: then Roby and Lonnie are gonna stay on the outside,

3888
03:14:31,600 --> 03:14:34,240
Speaker 1: and that opens up some snaps at that slot corner.

3889
03:14:34,720 --> 03:14:38,000
Speaker 1: And John Reid's been when as I've been watching, John

3890
03:14:38,040 --> 03:14:40,640
Speaker 1: Reid's been getting beat less than Vernon Hargraves in that position.

3891
03:14:40,840 --> 03:14:43,080
Speaker 1: You know, Vernon's the veteran guy there who plays slot.

3892
03:14:43,480 --> 03:14:44,920
Speaker 1: But John Reid is a guy who the coaches I

3893
03:14:44,959 --> 03:14:47,080
Speaker 1: think clearly are gonna have some confidence in early on.

3894
03:14:47,200 --> 03:14:50,000
Speaker 1: So maybe not a bubble guy to make the team,

3895
03:14:50,080 --> 03:14:51,480
Speaker 1: but I think a guy who's a young guy who

3896
03:14:51,520 --> 03:14:53,720
Speaker 1: could get more playing time than we think early on.

3897
03:14:54,120 --> 03:14:55,880
Speaker 1: Sound we're up against it. But before we get you

3898
03:14:55,959 --> 03:15:00,040
Speaker 1: out of here, man this roster. Here's my prediction with

3899
03:15:00,160 --> 03:15:02,200
Speaker 1: keki Qt because he missed a bunch of practices with

3900
03:15:02,280 --> 03:15:05,000
Speaker 1: the foot injury. DeAndre Carter's had a really good camp,

3901
03:15:05,520 --> 03:15:07,520
Speaker 1: like a really good camp in O'Brien when he was

3902
03:15:07,600 --> 03:15:09,160
Speaker 1: listening guys, and I know you guys do the same

3903
03:15:09,200 --> 03:15:11,680
Speaker 1: forensics I do with this stuff. Is it if you

3904
03:15:11,840 --> 03:15:13,800
Speaker 1: listen to one of his answers to the press conference

3905
03:15:13,840 --> 03:15:16,400
Speaker 1: today about some of the questions about JJ Watt, like,

3906
03:15:17,200 --> 03:15:19,880
Speaker 1: do you do you have young guys watch JJ Watt

3907
03:15:19,959 --> 03:15:22,879
Speaker 1: do his thing to learn, you know, through leadership by

3908
03:15:22,920 --> 03:15:25,320
Speaker 1: example whatever. But he did his thing where he lists

3909
03:15:25,360 --> 03:15:28,040
Speaker 1: off other guys too. Yeah, and he listed off like

3910
03:15:28,200 --> 03:15:32,640
Speaker 1: core guys like Cooks and cob and and Deshaun and

3911
03:15:32,760 --> 03:15:35,039
Speaker 1: get and then he threw DeAndre Carter in there too.

3912
03:15:35,800 --> 03:15:37,680
Speaker 1: That's a pretty big tell, you know what I mean

3913
03:15:37,800 --> 03:15:39,320
Speaker 1: that this is a guy who's going to make the team.

3914
03:15:39,320 --> 03:15:41,720
Speaker 1: And the problem for Keki is DeAndre is going to

3915
03:15:41,800 --> 03:15:43,760
Speaker 1: be asked on the team to do all the things

3916
03:15:43,800 --> 03:15:45,400
Speaker 1: that I think Keki would be asked to do if

3917
03:15:45,400 --> 03:15:47,000
Speaker 1: he were on the team. That's a really tough thing

3918
03:15:47,040 --> 03:15:51,680
Speaker 1: to have. Redundancy with backup slot receiver who has return skills.

3919
03:15:51,959 --> 03:15:53,760
Speaker 1: I think Keky's got the higher seals sealing. But what

3920
03:15:53,840 --> 03:15:55,400
Speaker 1: I think to answer your question, what I think happens

3921
03:15:55,400 --> 03:15:59,280
Speaker 1: with Keki that injured reserve flexibility that we were talking

3922
03:15:59,280 --> 03:16:01,840
Speaker 1: about before. Think that foot injury probably crops up again

3923
03:16:01,920 --> 03:16:04,520
Speaker 1: a little bit conveniently and at least buys them a

3924
03:16:04,560 --> 03:16:06,120
Speaker 1: few more weeks to kind of decide what to do.

3925
03:16:06,160 --> 03:16:07,520
Speaker 1: Because I think if they let Kiki go, I think

3926
03:16:07,520 --> 03:16:10,160
Speaker 1: somebody would pick up Kiki qt. Yeah, would be my guess.

3927
03:16:10,240 --> 03:16:12,160
Speaker 1: You know, someone who pick him up off of waivers

3928
03:16:12,200 --> 03:16:14,360
Speaker 1: would be my guest. So that's what I think happens. Okay,

3929
03:16:14,440 --> 03:16:16,879
Speaker 1: I agree with you. I think they forgot a way

3930
03:16:16,920 --> 03:16:19,240
Speaker 1: to maneuver with the different rules they have in place

3931
03:16:19,480 --> 03:16:21,480
Speaker 1: to be able to save the man. Appreciate you joining

03:22:45,360 --> 03:22:47,480
Speaker 1: of the year, there's a bunch of guys that are

4038
03:22:47,720 --> 03:22:51,240
Speaker 1: uncertain about what their roles are gonna be um with

4039
03:22:51,360 --> 03:22:53,680
Speaker 1: their franchise. And you're talking about the Houston, Texas. There's

4040
03:22:53,680 --> 03:22:55,320
Speaker 1: some veteran guys that have been here for a little

4041
03:22:55,320 --> 03:22:57,480
Speaker 1: bit of time that that might be on their way out.

4042
03:22:57,520 --> 03:22:59,520
Speaker 1: There's some such a news guys, new guys that are

4043
03:22:59,560 --> 03:23:02,000
Speaker 1: potentially be on their way in. But I know you

4044
03:23:02,120 --> 03:23:05,400
Speaker 1: and I both know what it's like to be on

4045
03:23:05,600 --> 03:23:07,640
Speaker 1: the bubble, what it's like to be in the locker

Speaker 1: There's gonna be guys let go. And this year is

4049
03:23:14,600 --> 03:23:16,560
Speaker 1: gonna be a little bit different than most because we

4050
03:23:16,600 --> 03:23:19,199
Speaker 1: talked about earlier in the show that hey, there's gonna

4051
03:23:19,240 --> 03:23:20,720
Speaker 1: be most of the guys that you see right now,

4052
03:23:20,760 --> 03:23:22,280
Speaker 1: you're gonna see a lot of the same guys, just

4053
03:23:22,360 --> 03:23:25,240
Speaker 1: because this practice squad is gonna be larger, so there's

4054
03:23:25,280 --> 03:23:27,120
Speaker 1: not gonna be as many guys leaving. But you know,

4055
03:23:27,600 --> 03:23:29,800

4059
03:23:39,280 --> 03:23:42,199
Speaker 1: then also what it's like to know that the guys

4060
03:23:42,240 --> 03:23:44,720
Speaker 1: around you that you've been training with this entire offseason

4061
03:23:45,320 --> 03:23:49,600
Speaker 1: could potentially be gone. It's it's tough, man, it really is.

4062
03:23:49,640 --> 03:23:53,160
Speaker 1: It's it's draining mentally because you're trying to battle. They

4063
03:23:53,160 --> 03:23:56,120
Speaker 1: always say in the locker room, control what you can control, right,

4064
03:23:56,360 --> 03:23:58,279
Speaker 1: It's like the biggest thing, control what you can control.

4065
03:23:58,360 --> 03:24:00,800
Speaker 1: But once you've been around a while, you kind of

4066
03:24:00,920 --> 03:24:04,360
Speaker 1: see how things go. So you got an idea, Okay,

4067
03:24:04,440 --> 03:24:05,960
Speaker 1: they did this in the draft, I did this in

4068
03:24:06,040 --> 03:24:08,520
Speaker 1: free agency. This is happening right now and camp they're

4069
03:24:08,560 --> 03:24:11,440
Speaker 1: gonna keep this many and amnta guys here this many amnicus,

4070
03:24:11,720 --> 03:24:14,000
Speaker 1: you're counter roster spot. So you was one of those

4071
03:24:14,000 --> 03:24:16,520
Speaker 1: guys Like, let me make sure early on I did

4072
03:24:16,879 --> 03:24:19,080
Speaker 1: I did I did this. It was just natural, like

4073
03:24:19,120 --> 03:24:21,039
Speaker 1: it's just a natural thing to do. Like I'm trying

4074
03:24:21,080 --> 03:24:22,560
Speaker 1: to make sure you're safe. You're trying to do everything

4075
03:24:22,600 --> 03:24:24,200
Speaker 1: you can do. But it's like, all right, your mind

4076
03:24:24,280 --> 03:24:27,920
Speaker 1: start going, Okay, if they keep eight dbs, that means

4077
03:24:27,920 --> 03:24:29,640
Speaker 1: they're only keep this many tight ends. That means it's

4078
03:24:29,640 --> 03:24:31,840
Speaker 1: only gonna be five receivers. Yeah you know what I mean.

4079
03:24:32,040 --> 03:24:33,840
Speaker 1: Or this guy's having a really good camp, or he

4080
03:24:33,959 --> 03:24:35,720
Speaker 1: just got hurt so they gotta they gotta go get

4081
03:24:35,760 --> 03:24:37,840
Speaker 1: a dtackle. It's just so many things that go into it.

4082
03:24:37,879 --> 03:24:40,080
Speaker 1: It's like you're gonna ruing yourself crazy. Now as I

4083
03:24:40,160 --> 03:24:43,840
Speaker 1: got older, it was like, just control, you control, Just

4084
03:24:44,040 --> 03:24:47,160
Speaker 1: just let whatever happens happens. I'm like listening. As long

4085
03:24:47,200 --> 03:24:48,840
Speaker 1: as I'm doing the best I can. I think I

4086
03:24:48,879 --> 03:24:51,240
Speaker 1: can hop on somewhere else. I don't want to, but

4087
03:24:51,320 --> 03:24:53,440
Speaker 1: I think I can hop on and figure out somewhere else.

4088
03:24:53,480 --> 03:24:55,800
Speaker 1: See that, and you make a great point. There are

4089
03:24:55,800 --> 03:24:58,480
Speaker 1: two things. The first thing I didn't realize you know

4090
03:24:58,600 --> 03:25:01,600
Speaker 1: how many other guys we're counting roster spot stuff that

4091
03:25:01,720 --> 03:25:04,960
Speaker 1: when I played, I did that. And even when even

4092
03:25:05,040 --> 03:25:07,120
Speaker 1: on situations where I knew I was gonna be I

4093
03:25:07,200 --> 03:25:08,879
Speaker 1: was a starter, I was gonna be on the team.

4094
03:25:09,120 --> 03:25:11,160
Speaker 1: I wasn't worried about being released anything like that. But

4095
03:25:11,240 --> 03:25:13,800
Speaker 1: I used to try to figure things out, like how

4096
03:25:13,840 --> 03:25:15,480
Speaker 1: are they gonna go in this direction? Are they gonna

4097
03:25:15,520 --> 03:25:18,640
Speaker 1: keep an extra dB? Or they gonnae extra lineman, like

4098
03:25:18,760 --> 03:25:20,680
Speaker 1: which one of my boys is gonna be let go?

4099
03:25:20,800 --> 03:25:25,120
Speaker 1: All that type of stuff. But then also when you mentioned, hey,

4100
03:25:26,000 --> 03:25:28,600
Speaker 1: I'm not that worried about it because I know I

4101
03:25:28,760 --> 03:25:30,920
Speaker 1: got good film and I can jump on catch on

4102
03:25:31,040 --> 03:25:34,320
Speaker 1: somewhere else. This year, it's not the case. There is

4103
03:25:34,440 --> 03:25:37,320
Speaker 1: no preseason games. That was a beautiful thing about the preseason,

4104
03:25:37,440 --> 03:25:39,480
Speaker 1: especially if you were a bubble guy. You could say,

4105
03:25:39,560 --> 03:25:42,120
Speaker 1: you know what, I might not make this team, but

4106
03:25:42,240 --> 03:25:44,720
Speaker 1: I will make a team based off of what I

4107
03:25:44,879 --> 03:25:48,200
Speaker 1: do on this Thursday night, or on this Saturday night,

4108
03:25:48,640 --> 03:25:51,080
Speaker 1: or on this Sunday night. I'm gonna be able to

4109
03:25:51,240 --> 03:25:54,600
Speaker 1: make somebody's team based off of my performance. And guys

4110
03:25:54,680 --> 03:25:57,560
Speaker 1: don't have that this year. You're literally just at the

4111
03:25:57,800 --> 03:26:00,760
Speaker 1: at the whim of maybe something that people knew about

4112
03:26:00,800 --> 03:26:03,560
Speaker 1: you in the past. Maybe what's something you did in college,

4113
03:26:03,840 --> 03:26:07,720
Speaker 1: maybe something you know a connection or your relationships that

4114
03:26:07,840 --> 03:26:10,160
Speaker 1: you have around the league. You're at the mercy of

4115
03:26:10,280 --> 03:26:12,560
Speaker 1: that because the film on you, especially if you're a

4116
03:26:12,560 --> 03:26:15,440
Speaker 1: bubble guy, most likely you didn't play that much the

4117
03:26:15,920 --> 03:26:19,320
Speaker 1: year previously. Anyway you weren't. Most likely you weren't a starter.

4118
03:26:19,480 --> 03:26:21,560
Speaker 1: So that part of it can be rough. I think

4119
03:26:21,640 --> 03:26:24,960
Speaker 1: for players that this year is just a whole nother

4120
03:26:25,360 --> 03:26:28,200
Speaker 1: wrench in it. It's like, now Sean didn't made a

4121
03:26:28,240 --> 03:26:30,800
Speaker 1: good point. Your roster is pretty much set, the top

4122
03:26:30,959 --> 03:26:34,280
Speaker 1: forty or maybe that was Mark or John. I think

4123
03:26:34,320 --> 03:26:37,640
Speaker 1: all of them do point like it's the top the

4124
03:26:37,720 --> 03:26:40,520
Speaker 1: top forty guys, which is unusual in the normal you're

4125
03:26:40,560 --> 03:26:43,640
Speaker 1: the top forty, maybe forty three guys are set. So

4126
03:26:43,879 --> 03:26:47,000
Speaker 1: the obvious twelve or I mean the last twelve or

4127
03:26:47,080 --> 03:26:49,280
Speaker 1: thirteen guys they're fighting for the spot. But it's not

4128
03:26:49,320 --> 03:26:51,720
Speaker 1: going to be a big surprise because half the rosters

4129
03:26:51,720 --> 03:26:53,760
Speaker 1: already cut down normally. So you went from ninety guys,

4130
03:26:53,800 --> 03:26:56,480
Speaker 1: it's already at eighty or seventy issue, right, so now

4131
03:26:56,959 --> 03:27:00,680
Speaker 1: the last twelve guy or twenty whirings you gotta cut.

4132
03:27:01,000 --> 03:27:03,600
Speaker 1: It's not going to be too big. Seventeen guys too

4133
03:27:03,680 --> 03:27:05,360
Speaker 1: big of a deal, not something. The guys you cut,

4134
03:27:05,440 --> 03:27:07,760
Speaker 1: guess what, they're gonna stay technically on the roster, on

4135
03:27:07,840 --> 03:27:10,200
Speaker 1: the team because they're gonna be going on practice squad. Yeah,

4136
03:27:10,440 --> 03:27:12,920
Speaker 1: so maybe it might be a better thing. This might

4137
03:27:13,200 --> 03:27:16,600
Speaker 1: up your chances, up your odds of making the organization

4138
03:27:16,680 --> 03:27:18,280
Speaker 1: that you have if you have a good camp, so

4139
03:27:18,400 --> 03:27:19,960
Speaker 1: maybe that's a good thing. They see you every day,

4140
03:27:19,959 --> 03:27:21,320
Speaker 1: they know your working ethic. That you might not make

4141
03:27:21,360 --> 03:27:23,400
Speaker 1: the fifty three, but hey, we like you enough to

4142
03:27:23,440 --> 03:27:24,800
Speaker 1: keep you on our practice squad, or we like you

4143
03:27:24,879 --> 03:27:26,480
Speaker 1: enough to keep you on that on maybe you can

4144
03:27:26,520 --> 03:27:28,240
Speaker 1: be on the fifty seven, which is one of the

4145
03:27:28,280 --> 03:27:31,280
Speaker 1: four guys protected. Yeah, I'll tell you what, man, this season,

4146
03:27:31,879 --> 03:27:34,320
Speaker 1: the silver lining of it more than any other, is

4147
03:27:34,400 --> 03:27:37,040
Speaker 1: that if you do the right things each and every day,

4148
03:27:37,160 --> 03:27:39,600
Speaker 1: if you are a guy that makes good decisions, you're

4149
03:27:39,640 --> 03:27:42,920
Speaker 1: working hard every day, you're working to improve, you might

4150
03:27:43,000 --> 03:27:47,320
Speaker 1: not have the performance success that you might have won it.

4151
03:27:47,480 --> 03:27:50,320
Speaker 1: But because you do things the right way, especially in

4152
03:27:50,400 --> 03:27:53,760
Speaker 1: this organization, they will they will put that on your

4153
03:27:53,879 --> 03:27:56,880
Speaker 1: leisure is a huge positive somebody that they can trust

4154
03:27:56,959 --> 03:27:58,960
Speaker 1: to do things the right way. So you could be

4155
03:27:59,040 --> 03:28:01,880
Speaker 1: on this practice squad or we will put that will

4156
03:28:01,959 --> 03:28:04,959
Speaker 1: make your protected veteran on this roster and will keep

4157
03:28:05,000 --> 03:28:07,520
Speaker 1: you from having to be in the win because this year,

4158
03:28:07,680 --> 03:28:10,800
Speaker 1: more than any if you get released and you don't

4159
03:28:10,840 --> 03:28:13,120
Speaker 1: stay with the team that you're that you've been with

4160
03:28:13,320 --> 03:28:17,560
Speaker 1: these past few months, going to another roster, everything that entails,

4161
03:28:17,600 --> 03:28:19,400
Speaker 1: and I mentioned it earlier when I was talking to

4162
03:28:19,480 --> 03:28:21,800
Speaker 1: Mark Vendomere. I think this would be the least amount

4163
03:28:21,840 --> 03:28:24,680
Speaker 1: of moves from team to team when you're talking about

4164
03:28:24,720 --> 03:28:27,119
Speaker 1: players and a lot of veteran guys, four year, five

4165
03:28:27,240 --> 03:28:30,520
Speaker 1: year type guys. If you're telling me that you get

4166
03:28:30,600 --> 03:28:32,840
Speaker 1: released by the Texans and they don't want you back

4167
03:28:32,879 --> 03:28:34,720
Speaker 1: and you're not on the practice squad, now you have

4168
03:28:34,800 --> 03:28:36,960
Speaker 1: to figure out a way to get to another roster,

4169
03:28:37,520 --> 03:28:40,200
Speaker 1: and they have the whole set of circumstances that they

4170
03:28:40,280 --> 03:28:42,080
Speaker 1: have to the hoops they have to jump through to

4171
03:28:42,120 --> 03:28:44,000
Speaker 1: get you there. They got to test you, you have

4172
03:28:44,120 --> 03:28:46,040
Speaker 1: to wait a certain amount of days to quarantine. A

4173
03:28:46,120 --> 03:28:49,720
Speaker 1: lot of times guys jump rosters because of injuries, and

4174
03:28:50,320 --> 03:28:53,840
Speaker 1: you know you can't get assimilated to that new roster

4175
03:28:54,160 --> 03:28:56,600
Speaker 1: in the timely fashion that you would normally get in

4176
03:28:56,680 --> 03:28:58,880
Speaker 1: a normal year. This year makes it a lot more

4177
03:28:58,959 --> 03:29:02,680
Speaker 1: difficult for that. So to me, it makes you nervous

4178
03:29:02,720 --> 03:29:05,200
Speaker 1: if you get released. You get nervous when you put

4179
03:29:05,280 --> 03:29:07,920
Speaker 1: all that getting on a commercial flight going to another place,

4180
03:29:07,959 --> 03:29:10,000
Speaker 1: and then there's a lot to it when you add

4181
03:29:10,000 --> 03:29:12,680
Speaker 1: the coronavirus to it. It's when you make when you

4182
03:29:12,800 --> 03:29:15,800
Speaker 1: make that point, it's a scary feeling for those guys

4183
03:29:15,840 --> 03:29:18,280
Speaker 1: that's getting cut, especially like you mentioned the five, six, seven,

4184
03:29:18,400 --> 03:29:22,120
Speaker 1: eight year events at a at a certain point, it's like,

4185
03:29:22,360 --> 03:29:24,960
Speaker 1: all right, say, seat don't need somebody, but they don't

4186
03:29:24,959 --> 03:29:27,400
Speaker 1: want to go through the hassle. Yeah, of bringing a

4187
03:29:27,440 --> 03:29:30,880
Speaker 1: guy in and getting tested and having to fly commercial

4188
03:29:31,240 --> 03:29:33,000
Speaker 1: and dealing with everything. Like, it's just so much that

4189
03:29:33,080 --> 03:29:36,080
Speaker 1: goes into it. The Yeah, I feel like the tide's

4190
03:29:36,080 --> 03:29:39,760
Speaker 1: gonna go in house. They're two guys are you know,

4191
03:29:39,879 --> 03:29:42,360
Speaker 1: We're just stay in house and keep this guy here.

4192
03:29:42,920 --> 03:29:45,000
Speaker 1: We're just trying to get through this week or two. Anyway,

4193
03:29:45,040 --> 03:29:47,920
Speaker 1: we'll get this guy back from injury. And that's opportunities

4194
03:29:47,959 --> 03:29:51,360
Speaker 1: that go to the wayside for veteran guy. Now. See,

4195
03:29:51,400 --> 03:29:53,200
Speaker 1: So there's a couple of guys that I'm looking at

4196
03:29:53,240 --> 03:29:57,119
Speaker 1: that I think might potentially fit into some of these categories.

4197
03:29:57,800 --> 03:30:00,760
Speaker 1: M One guy that was mentioned by John Pendergas was

4198
03:30:00,840 --> 03:30:03,160
Speaker 1: Vernon Hargraves. Running. Hargraves is a guy that's kind of

4199
03:30:03,160 --> 03:30:05,640
Speaker 1: struggled a little bit in training camp this year. Um

4200
03:30:06,000 --> 03:30:09,640
Speaker 1: see guys making plays offensively that you're like, yeah, good job,

4201
03:30:09,720 --> 03:30:12,320
Speaker 1: this guy made plays, But then it seems like too many,

4202
03:30:12,400 --> 03:30:15,160
Speaker 1: too often, I'm hearing Vernon Hargraves is a guy that

4203
03:30:16,440 --> 03:30:19,039
Speaker 1: the play is being made on. If you're Vernon Hargraves

4204
03:30:19,120 --> 03:30:24,039
Speaker 1: right now, or Keiki QT or highly wearing uh you know, Higden, buddy,

4205
03:30:24,120 --> 03:30:28,880
Speaker 1: how these guys that potentially can be on the block,

4206
03:30:28,959 --> 03:30:31,160
Speaker 1: How are you feeling right now if you're those guys?

4207
03:30:31,200 --> 03:30:33,320
Speaker 1: And how do you think those guys end up shaking

4208
03:30:33,400 --> 03:30:36,879
Speaker 1: out well? Hargraves, he was a former first round pick.

4209
03:30:36,920 --> 03:30:39,520
Speaker 1: Actually played with him in Tampa Bay in twenty sixteen,

4210
03:30:40,760 --> 03:30:44,480
Speaker 1: and he has knowledge of the game. I'm gonna be

4211
03:30:44,520 --> 03:30:46,560
Speaker 1: honest with me. A coaches kid, right, he's a coaches

4212
03:30:46,640 --> 03:30:48,920
Speaker 1: kids DV. His dad was a dB coach at Florida,

4213
03:30:49,000 --> 03:30:51,240
Speaker 1: or just or is a dB coach at Florida. Yeah.

4214
03:30:52,520 --> 03:30:54,720
Speaker 1: But when you get a when you on the team,

4215
03:30:54,840 --> 03:30:58,760
Speaker 1: they draft a guy in your particular position, and all

4216
03:30:58,800 --> 03:31:02,600
Speaker 1: you hear about it is John ry I don't see.

4217
03:31:02,640 --> 03:31:04,720
Speaker 1: I don't think he makes the roster um. I think

4218
03:31:04,800 --> 03:31:06,920
Speaker 1: he is a he's a decent veteran. He can be

4219
03:31:07,000 --> 03:31:09,800
Speaker 1: a guy that hops on somewhere eventually. I think John

4220
03:31:09,879 --> 03:31:12,560
Speaker 1: Reid that's his spot. I don't I don't see Vernon

4221
03:31:12,720 --> 03:31:15,000
Speaker 1: making it awesome guy. I just don't see him making

4222
03:31:15,040 --> 03:31:17,440
Speaker 1: the squad this year. Wearing, I do see him making

4223
03:31:17,480 --> 03:31:19,480
Speaker 1: the squad. I think they see the potential in him. Yeah.

4224
03:31:19,480 --> 03:31:21,680
Speaker 1: I think John McLean hopped on on on with us

4225
03:31:21,720 --> 03:31:23,800
Speaker 1: today talking about Zach Cunningham and his new deal, but

4226
03:31:23,840 --> 03:31:26,680
Speaker 1: he also mentioned how Wearing was making plays, jumping up,

4227
03:31:26,720 --> 03:31:28,720
Speaker 1: catching the ball, doing things like that. So I think

4228
03:31:28,800 --> 03:31:31,440
Speaker 1: he makes the squad. Now. Is he gonna make an

4229
03:31:31,440 --> 03:31:34,359
Speaker 1: impact early on because the way the Thomas the Jordan's

4230
03:31:34,400 --> 03:31:36,760
Speaker 1: brothers are looking, I'm not sure, And of course you

4231
03:31:36,840 --> 03:31:38,480
Speaker 1: got Darren as well, but I think Wearing is a

4232
03:31:38,520 --> 03:31:41,880
Speaker 1: guy that they'll probably keep or tight end spots. I

4233
03:31:41,959 --> 03:31:45,039
Speaker 1: think the thing with Kylie Wearing is he might rind

4234
03:31:45,160 --> 03:31:47,160
Speaker 1: up in a situation where the Texans play a little

4235
03:31:47,480 --> 03:31:50,520
Speaker 1: little roulette with him that they spend the wheel, release

4236
03:31:50,640 --> 03:31:53,320
Speaker 1: him and hope that they can keep him, get him

4237
03:31:53,360 --> 03:31:55,760
Speaker 1: through waivers, and then hold on to him. That way,

4238
03:31:56,040 --> 03:32:00,400
Speaker 1: it's potentially be a veteran protected guy because you look

4239
03:32:00,440 --> 03:32:02,640
Speaker 1: at the roster, you look at the amount of receivers

4240
03:32:02,680 --> 03:32:06,360
Speaker 1: they're gonna need on this roster, how they're gonna playing

4241
03:32:06,400 --> 03:32:09,400
Speaker 1: on attack in the Kansas City Chiefs. The fourth tight

4242
03:32:09,480 --> 03:32:12,039
Speaker 1: end is not going to be active that game. He's

4243
03:32:12,080 --> 03:32:13,960
Speaker 1: not a guy that plays on special teams. You know

4244
03:32:14,080 --> 03:32:16,960
Speaker 1: how important Bill O'Brien, and with the emphasis that they

4245
03:32:17,000 --> 03:32:19,320
Speaker 1: pushed on special teams guys, and so if you're just

4246
03:32:19,440 --> 03:32:22,280
Speaker 1: a guy that has a lot of potential, a high ceiling,

4247
03:32:22,680 --> 03:32:26,560
Speaker 1: but you really can't do much for us today, that

4248
03:32:26,760 --> 03:32:29,520
Speaker 1: strikes me as a guy that's a candidate to they

4249
03:32:29,640 --> 03:32:32,760
Speaker 1: try to sneak them through and and pray that nobody's

4250
03:32:32,800 --> 03:32:35,040
Speaker 1: really paying attention to him or seeing thinking about his

4251
03:32:35,160 --> 03:32:38,040
Speaker 1: film from back in San Diego State, and that can

4252
03:32:38,200 --> 03:32:41,360
Speaker 1: keep him in the family per se. But as a

4253
03:32:41,440 --> 03:32:43,880
Speaker 1: third round pick, third round pick, I mean, hold on,

4254
03:32:43,959 --> 03:32:45,640
Speaker 1: now that you know the Texans, now they let a

4255
03:32:45,680 --> 03:32:48,560
Speaker 1: third round pick go. They don't play the games when

4256
03:32:48,560 --> 03:32:50,560
Speaker 1: they come to third round picks. I think about Knicks

4257
03:32:50,600 --> 03:32:53,280
Speaker 1: from North to Dame and they traded away Martinez ranked

4258
03:32:53,360 --> 03:32:56,120
Speaker 1: third round picks. There's no h and this is two

4259
03:32:56,240 --> 03:32:58,320
Speaker 1: this is the second year. It's not even his rookie years.

4260
03:32:58,360 --> 03:33:01,680
Speaker 1: So he might be a guy that could potentially but

4261
03:33:01,840 --> 03:33:04,160
Speaker 1: I think they like them. I just don't know if

4262
03:33:04,440 --> 03:33:06,680
Speaker 1: if it runs to another number game and they'll figure out,

4263
03:33:06,680 --> 03:33:09,760
Speaker 1: you know what we can We'll just we'll bring them

4264
03:33:09,840 --> 03:33:12,760
Speaker 1: right back. It's playing Roulette's gam a little bit. I'm

4265
03:33:12,760 --> 03:33:15,040
Speaker 1: sure some temp pinner gas would would love to have

4266
03:33:15,160 --> 03:33:18,480
Speaker 1: the odds on that one. But I just think that

4267
03:33:18,600 --> 03:33:20,680
Speaker 1: that's something that I could see out of Houston, Texas

4268
03:33:20,800 --> 03:33:26,560
Speaker 1: now eleven days away, only eleven days away from the

4269
03:33:26,640 --> 03:33:30,000
Speaker 1: Texans playing the Kentnas City Chiefs. We went through the

4270
03:33:30,120 --> 03:33:33,760
Speaker 1: season predictions a little bit with Mark vander Mere earlier,

4271
03:33:33,840 --> 03:33:35,920
Speaker 1: but we didn't really get in depth game by game

4272
03:33:36,000 --> 03:33:37,920
Speaker 1: how we think the wins and losses are gonna go.

4273
03:33:38,360 --> 03:33:45,960
Speaker 1: We're gonna do that next. This is Whitney Merciless and

4274
03:33:46,040 --> 03:33:54,400
Speaker 1: you're listening to Texans Radio. Don't touch that DOGC two

4275
03:33:54,560 --> 03:33:57,160
Speaker 1: it's better than one. How many times have you heard that? One?

4276
03:33:57,480 --> 03:34:00,480
Speaker 1: More than one? Bad? Because it just adds up. For example,

4277
03:34:00,600 --> 03:34:03,160
Speaker 1: there are two, not one, great reasons to fill up

4278
03:34:03,160 --> 03:34:07,400
Speaker 1: with Chevron with Tekron number one unbeatable cleaning power and

4279
03:34:07,560 --> 03:34:11,320
Speaker 1: number two, or maybe this should be number one unbeatable mileage.

4280
03:34:11,680 --> 03:34:14,720
Speaker 1: Plus Chevron puts Techron in every grade every gallant of

4281
03:34:14,800 --> 03:34:18,800
Speaker 1: their gasoline. So that's two, no, wait, three unbeatable reasons

4282
03:34:19,040 --> 03:34:21,680
Speaker 1: to go with the one and only Chevron with Tekron

4359
03:39:09,720 --> 03:39:14,000
Speaker 1: last segment of the evening and we're gonna go through

4360
03:39:14,680 --> 03:39:19,080
Speaker 1: the twenty twenty schedule of the Houston Texans because we're

4361
03:39:19,120 --> 03:39:21,880
Speaker 1: eleven days away of Texans playing against the Kanna City Chiefs,

4362
03:39:21,959 --> 03:39:24,160
Speaker 1: and I want to go through this schedule and see

4363
03:39:24,240 --> 03:39:26,720
Speaker 1: kind of where we think the Texans are going to

4364
03:39:27,200 --> 03:39:30,240
Speaker 1: shape up and how they're going to finish the year.

4365
03:39:30,320 --> 03:39:32,320
Speaker 1: And they start off with the Chiefs on the road.

4366
03:39:33,520 --> 03:39:39,240
Speaker 1: Texans are market underdogs in this ball game. I don't

4367
03:39:39,240 --> 03:39:40,600
Speaker 1: have the line in front of me, but you know,

4368
03:39:40,720 --> 03:39:42,760
Speaker 1: good and well, the Kanna City Chiefs are probably, I

4369
03:39:42,800 --> 03:39:46,680
Speaker 1: would guess somewhere around a touchdown favorite to win this game.

4370
03:39:48,360 --> 03:39:51,080
Speaker 1: If there is a way for the Texans to win

4371
03:39:51,200 --> 03:39:53,240
Speaker 1: this game seas, So, how do they do it? And

4372
03:39:53,360 --> 03:39:57,080
Speaker 1: then how do you think it actually will shape up? Well?

4373
03:39:57,080 --> 03:40:00,160
Speaker 1: I think they do it by first off, lemiting their

4374
03:40:00,160 --> 03:40:03,640
Speaker 1: own penalties and mistakes. I think early on throughout the

4375
03:40:03,760 --> 03:40:06,480
Speaker 1: whole NFL, you're going to see a lot of penalties

4376
03:40:06,600 --> 03:40:10,440
Speaker 1: and mental errors just because you have not had that

4377
03:40:10,560 --> 03:40:14,280
Speaker 1: game experience and live action is totally different. Than practice action.

4378
03:40:14,920 --> 03:40:17,040
Speaker 1: Even though you're having these scrimmages all across the board,

4379
03:40:17,040 --> 03:40:19,039
Speaker 1: it's totally different because you line up against somebody different.

4380
03:40:19,560 --> 03:40:22,560
Speaker 1: That anxiousness, that nervousness, that excitement comes up in the

4381
03:40:22,680 --> 03:40:25,000
Speaker 1: game and boom, you may jump outsides or whatever the

4382
03:40:25,040 --> 03:40:26,360
Speaker 1: case may be. So I do I think if you

4383
03:40:26,800 --> 03:40:29,280
Speaker 1: can limit that and limit the big plays from my homes,

4384
03:40:29,879 --> 03:40:32,119
Speaker 1: you got a chance to win. Now, to answer your question,

4385
03:40:32,200 --> 03:40:34,720
Speaker 1: I do think they win in my opinion. I think

4386
03:40:34,760 --> 03:40:41,760
Speaker 1: they come out strong that there against the Canci said,

4387
03:40:41,760 --> 03:40:43,280
Speaker 1: O Casey, he's not gonna hear what you gotta say.

4388
03:40:43,600 --> 03:40:46,879
Speaker 1: I think they're um. Just the offseason has to having

4389
03:40:47,000 --> 03:40:49,160
Speaker 1: to think about and deal with what happened in that

4390
03:40:49,320 --> 03:40:51,960
Speaker 1: last game. It all comes out the play. I think

4391
03:40:52,040 --> 03:40:53,560
Speaker 1: the Sean is going this is going to be one

4392
03:40:53,560 --> 03:40:56,080
Speaker 1: of the Shan's Bessy years. Personally, I think he's going

4393
03:40:56,160 --> 03:40:58,920
Speaker 1: to be outstanding. You have the five offensive linement that

4394
03:40:59,000 --> 03:41:01,720
Speaker 1: are all coming back, and that gives me confidence that

4395
03:41:02,040 --> 03:41:04,440
Speaker 1: not only will he be he will be protected, but

4396
03:41:04,560 --> 03:41:07,000
Speaker 1: he will have time and he won't get hit as

4397
03:41:07,120 --> 03:41:08,680
Speaker 1: much as he can make plays down the field, throw

4398
03:41:08,720 --> 03:41:12,119
Speaker 1: into whoever he wants to. So I think they'll limit

4399
03:41:12,200 --> 03:41:14,000
Speaker 1: the big plays and they'll come up big with that

4400
03:41:14,280 --> 03:41:16,520
Speaker 1: w in the first opening night. Yeah, I tell you what, man,

4401
03:41:17,000 --> 03:41:20,520
Speaker 1: the way, in my opinion, the way that the Chiefs

4402
03:41:21,360 --> 03:41:23,360
Speaker 1: they go to excuse me, the Texans go to Kansas

4403
03:41:23,400 --> 03:41:26,960
Speaker 1: City and beat the Chiefs. It's by doing what we discussed.

4404
03:41:26,959 --> 03:41:29,119
Speaker 1: I believe it was last week. The whole thirty five

4405
03:41:29,280 --> 03:41:32,480
Speaker 1: touches in the game between Duke and David Johnson. Those

4406
03:41:32,520 --> 03:41:35,200
Speaker 1: two guys touch the ball thirty five times. That's how

4407
03:41:35,240 --> 03:41:37,840
Speaker 1: they'll win. The Texans don't need to try to get

4408
03:41:37,879 --> 03:41:40,280
Speaker 1: in a shootout with the Kansa City Chiefs. That is

4409
03:41:40,400 --> 03:41:42,560
Speaker 1: not what you want to do. You do not want

4410
03:41:42,640 --> 03:41:45,640
Speaker 1: to try to have Deshauna Watson put the team on

4411
03:41:45,720 --> 03:41:47,480
Speaker 1: his back and try to throw the ball all over

4412
03:41:47,480 --> 03:41:48,760
Speaker 1: the yard. You're trying to figure out a way to

4413
03:41:48,800 --> 03:41:50,880
Speaker 1: get a win on the road. You gotta run the football,

4414
03:41:50,959 --> 03:41:53,160
Speaker 1: you gotta control the clock. If you remember how the

4415
03:41:53,240 --> 03:41:55,600
Speaker 1: Texans beat the Kansas City Chiefs in Week six, that's

4416
03:41:55,640 --> 03:41:57,720
Speaker 1: what they did. Carlos Hide was running through the dudes

4417
03:41:58,000 --> 03:42:01,119
Speaker 1: talking now its to the camera after scoring touchdowns. These

4418
03:42:01,360 --> 03:42:06,280
Speaker 1: can't us remember that? I remember that. You got it

4419
03:42:06,360 --> 03:42:08,720
Speaker 1: self edit, But you knew what he said, and you

4420
03:42:08,840 --> 03:42:10,879
Speaker 1: knew the sentiments. That was what it was gonna take

4421
03:42:11,080 --> 03:42:12,920
Speaker 1: to beat the Kann City Chiefs on the road. I

4422
03:42:13,000 --> 03:42:14,879
Speaker 1: think that's the way that they get it done. Keep

4423
03:42:15,000 --> 03:42:16,959
Speaker 1: Homes off the field. Keep them off the field. That's

4424
03:42:17,040 --> 03:42:18,920
Speaker 1: that's the way you beat him. Not not oh, we

4425
03:42:19,040 --> 03:42:20,920
Speaker 1: just gonna line up and stop Pat Mahomes. I just

4426
03:42:21,000 --> 03:42:23,800
Speaker 1: don't think that's a real realistic proposition. What you got

4427
03:42:23,920 --> 03:42:26,200
Speaker 1: to do is keep him off the field. Unfortunately, this

4428
03:42:26,440 --> 03:42:28,880
Speaker 1: is this is not a game that I think the

4429
03:42:28,920 --> 03:42:31,800
Speaker 1: Texans are gonna win. Just being objective at it, I

4430
03:42:31,879 --> 03:42:34,360
Speaker 1: feel like they'll start off with a loss there and

4431
03:42:34,440 --> 03:42:36,960
Speaker 1: so they'll being on one. But Cecil, you got him

4432
03:42:36,959 --> 03:42:39,320
Speaker 1: as one to know. The next week, the Texans come

4433
03:42:39,400 --> 03:42:42,680
Speaker 1: home and play against the Baltimore Ravens. You got Lamar

4434
03:42:42,840 --> 03:42:46,880
Speaker 1: Jackson coming into town. You got JK. Dobbins, the new

4435
03:42:46,959 --> 03:42:50,320
Speaker 1: rookie coming in town. You got all those defensive players

4436
03:42:50,360 --> 03:42:52,720
Speaker 1: that they've added to the roster of guys that they've retained,

4437
03:42:52,800 --> 03:42:55,840
Speaker 1: got Kalais Campbell coming into town. That's going to be

4438
03:42:56,000 --> 03:42:58,680
Speaker 1: a tough matchup for the Texans. A week two. How

4439
03:42:58,720 --> 03:43:00,800
Speaker 1: do you see that shaking out? I see them losing

4440
03:43:00,879 --> 03:43:04,120
Speaker 1: that one. I think the high from game one may

4441
03:43:04,240 --> 03:43:06,040
Speaker 1: get them a little bit from Game two. And I

4442
03:43:06,120 --> 03:43:09,520
Speaker 1: think these first two games are so important, even that

4443
03:43:09,600 --> 03:43:11,879
Speaker 1: they win or even that they lose the first one, right,

4444
03:43:11,959 --> 03:43:13,800
Speaker 1: Like you mentioned, they got to come back and play

4445
03:43:13,840 --> 03:43:16,080
Speaker 1: strong in this game because these top four. We talked

4446
03:43:16,120 --> 03:43:20,480
Speaker 1: about with Marks that it's a gauntlet like these top

4447
03:43:20,560 --> 03:43:22,920
Speaker 1: four are basically kind of they're all super Bowl contenders.

4448
03:43:22,959 --> 03:43:24,640
Speaker 1: They all can be in the in the mix for

4449
03:43:24,720 --> 03:43:28,520
Speaker 1: the playoffs. They all have very very good defenses. So

4450
03:43:29,040 --> 03:43:31,760
Speaker 1: I do think the Ravens take the take the victory

4451
03:43:31,840 --> 03:43:34,320
Speaker 1: on this one, the first home game which will have

4452
03:43:34,480 --> 03:43:38,000
Speaker 1: no fans here, um. But I think it's going to

4453
03:43:38,120 --> 03:43:40,560
Speaker 1: be a hard fought game. It's just when you have

4454
03:43:40,840 --> 03:43:43,920
Speaker 1: four games like this, if you go four, no, you

4455
03:43:44,040 --> 03:43:46,360
Speaker 1: might be you know, you're you're you're owing something here.

4456
03:43:46,760 --> 03:43:48,800
Speaker 1: I just don't see that happening. I think they're gonna

4457
03:43:48,840 --> 03:43:50,400
Speaker 1: take it all. It's gonna be a tough loss. This

4458
03:43:50,560 --> 03:43:53,240
Speaker 1: running game is going to be serious with mark Ingraham,

4459
03:43:53,560 --> 03:43:56,400
Speaker 1: with JK. Diamonds and Lamar Jackson, they are a dynamic

4460
03:43:56,560 --> 03:44:00,160
Speaker 1: Lamar m VP of course from last season, and I

4461
03:44:00,240 --> 03:44:02,959
Speaker 1: think he'll he'll continue that phase and go playing pretty well,

4462
03:44:03,440 --> 03:44:05,000
Speaker 1: but I think it'll be tough to come off that

4463
03:44:05,160 --> 03:44:07,120
Speaker 1: win with the Ravens come to town. Yeah, I look

4464
03:44:07,160 --> 03:44:09,560
Speaker 1: at the Ravens roster. I look at what they did

4465
03:44:09,640 --> 03:44:12,320
Speaker 1: to the Texans last later. It was forty one to

4466
03:44:12,440 --> 03:44:14,800
Speaker 1: seven last year. If I'm remembering correctly, the game got

4467
03:44:14,800 --> 03:44:17,280
Speaker 1: out of hand early. If they jump on you early,

4468
03:44:17,440 --> 03:44:19,840
Speaker 1: you know that that's exactly the way they want to play.

4469
03:44:19,879 --> 03:44:23,040
Speaker 1: That's the way they play a game. And I see

4470
03:44:23,040 --> 03:44:25,920
Speaker 1: a similar scenario, not a blowout, but I do see

4471
03:44:25,959 --> 03:44:27,880
Speaker 1: a scenario where the Ravens get up early on the

4472
03:44:27,959 --> 03:44:30,320
Speaker 1: Texans and force them to play the game that they

4473
03:44:30,400 --> 03:44:33,000
Speaker 1: don't want to play. And so I'm gonna have to

4474
03:44:33,480 --> 03:44:36,760
Speaker 1: have the Texans starting off owen two unfortunately, but they're

4475
03:44:36,800 --> 03:44:39,240
Speaker 1: gonna be owing two. But at the same time, I

4476
03:44:39,280 --> 03:44:41,720
Speaker 1: think they're gonna play well. So that's going to bold

4477
03:44:41,760 --> 03:44:44,840
Speaker 1: well for them going forward throughout the season. Week three,

4478
03:44:45,560 --> 03:44:49,400
Speaker 1: you're going to Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh is a team that's coming

4479
03:44:49,480 --> 03:44:52,000
Speaker 1: off of a season where they went eighty eight with

4480
03:44:52,160 --> 03:44:55,480
Speaker 1: guys named Duck and Buck and Chuck playing quarterback for them,

4481
03:44:55,520 --> 03:45:00,360
Speaker 1: but not so, how do you see that game. Checking

4482
03:45:00,400 --> 03:45:04,640
Speaker 1: out with the Steelers in the Texans, I got them winning, man, Um.

4483
03:45:04,800 --> 03:45:07,120
Speaker 1: I think they bounced back from the Laws versus Ravens,

4484
03:45:07,160 --> 03:45:10,360
Speaker 1: and I really have them playing well on the road. Um,

4485
03:45:10,720 --> 03:45:12,400
Speaker 1: I just realized I got them winning on the road

4486
03:45:12,440 --> 03:45:14,320
Speaker 1: in Kansas City and in the road in Pittsburgh, two

4487
03:45:14,440 --> 03:45:16,320
Speaker 1: very tough places to play. I'm pretty sure you're played

4488
03:45:16,320 --> 03:45:18,760
Speaker 1: in both of those places. Very fun places to play,

4489
03:45:19,280 --> 03:45:22,200
Speaker 1: but tough places to play. Nevertheless, So I do think

4490
03:45:22,240 --> 03:45:24,480
Speaker 1: they come up and they play well versus Pittsburgh. They

4491
03:45:24,520 --> 03:45:28,600
Speaker 1: do have a stout defense, but I think um O'Brien's

4492
03:45:28,640 --> 03:45:31,160
Speaker 1: gonna have these guys raid the role. And I'm to

4493
03:45:31,320 --> 03:45:34,200
Speaker 1: be honest, I'm not sold on a thirty eight year

4494
03:45:34,280 --> 03:45:37,800
Speaker 1: old coming off of surgery, big band that that. That's

4495
03:45:37,840 --> 03:45:39,840
Speaker 1: just not what I'm sold on right now. Yeah, I

4496
03:45:39,920 --> 03:45:42,280
Speaker 1: tell you what, people are gonna respect the Texans after

4497
03:45:42,400 --> 03:45:44,720
Speaker 1: this this this game because I feel like they're gonna

4498
03:45:44,760 --> 03:45:47,640
Speaker 1: go on the road and they're going to handily beat

4499
03:45:47,680 --> 03:45:50,480
Speaker 1: the Pittsburgh They're gonna get right in this bargame. I

4500
03:45:50,600 --> 03:45:55,360
Speaker 1: just like the matchups of the receivers for the Houston

4501
03:45:55,400 --> 03:45:57,960
Speaker 1: Texans against the Pittsburgh Steelers. They do have some some

4502
03:45:58,200 --> 03:46:00,120
Speaker 1: some guys up front. You got guys like t J.

4503
03:46:00,240 --> 03:46:02,440
Speaker 1: White and Cam Hayward. Dick can get out of the quarterback.

4504
03:46:02,760 --> 03:46:05,360
Speaker 1: That's gonna be a huge matchup for Larry Tunsu in

4505
03:46:05,400 --> 03:46:08,680
Speaker 1: the interior. Three guys for the Texans. But I just

4506
03:46:08,800 --> 03:46:11,080
Speaker 1: see that. I'm not sold. Like you said, I'm not

4507
03:46:11,120 --> 03:46:13,959
Speaker 1: sold on Ben Roethlisberger at thirty eight. You know, Juju

4508
03:46:14,120 --> 03:46:15,800
Speaker 1: is a is a good receiver, but he took a

4509
03:46:15,879 --> 03:46:17,360
Speaker 1: huge step back, and a lot of it was because

4510
03:46:17,400 --> 03:46:19,680
Speaker 1: of the quarterbacks. But he just he didn't look like

4511
03:46:19,840 --> 03:46:22,360
Speaker 1: the same guy out there. I think he's too busy

4512
03:46:22,400 --> 03:46:25,240
Speaker 1: on on social media with uh, I don't know what

4513
03:46:25,400 --> 03:46:28,119
Speaker 1: you call it, the tidy White. He's on doing dances

4514
03:46:28,160 --> 03:46:31,880
Speaker 1: and stuff, YouTube and commercials. I'm not sold on Juju

4515
03:46:32,000 --> 03:46:33,560
Speaker 1: like that. He got to show me better than he

4516
03:46:33,840 --> 03:46:36,959
Speaker 1: lost Antonio Brown. He lost Antonio Brown. So I think

4517
03:46:36,959 --> 03:46:38,560
Speaker 1: the Texans win that. So they're one and two in

4518
03:46:38,680 --> 03:46:40,840
Speaker 1: my book, you have them at two and one one

4519
03:46:41,560 --> 03:46:43,760
Speaker 1: if the final game of the first four you got

4520
03:46:43,840 --> 03:46:47,360
Speaker 1: the Minnesota Vikings at home, how does that shake out? Now? Listen,

4521
03:46:47,560 --> 03:46:50,360
Speaker 1: So I chose the I'm picking them to win, But

4522
03:46:50,480 --> 03:46:57,120
Speaker 1: I chose this before Yannick came to play, before I

4523
03:46:57,240 --> 03:47:00,320
Speaker 1: made this thick, before they made that trade. No, I

4524
03:47:00,440 --> 03:47:02,920
Speaker 1: have them winning, So there'll be three and one coming

4525
03:47:03,120 --> 03:47:08,720
Speaker 1: out of the first four games. I think that coming

4526
03:47:08,760 --> 03:47:12,040
Speaker 1: off a big win against Pittsburgh, m you're coming back

4527
03:47:12,120 --> 03:47:16,040
Speaker 1: home and you're gonna play a good defense. But I

4528
03:47:16,240 --> 03:47:20,640
Speaker 1: think that Titus Howard Larry ma Tunster will be able

4529
03:47:20,680 --> 03:47:23,400
Speaker 1: to handle the edge when it comes to Yannick. And

4530
03:47:24,040 --> 03:47:27,560
Speaker 1: is it Danielle or I mean daniel Danielle Hunter, which

4531
03:47:27,560 --> 03:47:29,920
Speaker 1: are two awesome guys. Now they got two good backers too,

4532
03:47:29,959 --> 03:47:32,520
Speaker 1: when Anthony Barr. They got a great safety group and

4533
03:47:32,600 --> 03:47:35,480
Speaker 1: Harry Smith or Smith and Harris back there, Smith and Harrison,

4534
03:47:35,520 --> 03:47:39,040
Speaker 1: excuse me back there. So they are deep and they

4535
03:47:39,120 --> 03:47:42,800
Speaker 1: are pretty good um at all levels. I just like

4536
03:47:43,840 --> 03:47:47,320
Speaker 1: the Texans in this matchup. See I'm on the opposite him.

4537
03:47:47,440 --> 03:47:49,120
Speaker 1: I think the Texans lose this game. And this is

4538
03:47:49,160 --> 03:47:51,360
Speaker 1: why I think they're losing this game. You got Gary

4539
03:47:51,440 --> 03:47:54,400
Speaker 1: Kubiak in that offense coming down here, Dalvin Cook at

4540
03:47:54,440 --> 03:47:56,400
Speaker 1: the running back spot the same way. I feel like

4541
03:47:56,480 --> 03:47:58,280
Speaker 1: the Texans. The only chance for them to go to

4542
03:47:58,400 --> 03:48:00,640
Speaker 1: Kansas City and get that w is for them to

4543
03:48:00,840 --> 03:48:04,600
Speaker 1: control the clock, run the football. This game against the Vikings,

4544
03:48:04,680 --> 03:48:06,360
Speaker 1: this is where you're gonna be like, man, I miss

4545
03:48:06,440 --> 03:48:08,360
Speaker 1: DJ reader. That's gonna be the game where you said

4546
03:48:08,360 --> 03:48:10,840
Speaker 1: to yourself, man if DJ was here, they wouldn't be

4547
03:48:10,840 --> 03:48:12,520
Speaker 1: able to control the clock like this and run the

4548
03:48:12,560 --> 03:48:15,760
Speaker 1: ball on us like this. So to me, the first

4549
03:48:15,840 --> 03:48:18,360
Speaker 1: four games is gonna start slow for the Texas. They're

4550
03:48:18,360 --> 03:48:22,800
Speaker 1: gonna be one in three, but soon the tide touch

4551
03:48:22,959 --> 03:48:25,120
Speaker 1: starts to turn. What do you hope next week? Right now,

4552
03:48:26,480 --> 03:48:28,600
Speaker 1: it's one and three. Right now, people go, hey, you

4553
03:48:28,920 --> 03:48:31,040
Speaker 1: can imagine what it's gonna be like around here, and

4554
03:48:31,160 --> 03:48:33,280
Speaker 1: talking on the radio, people are gonna be like all

4555
03:48:33,320 --> 03:48:35,720
Speaker 1: the Texas of this to that. But stay tuned. It's

4556
03:48:35,720 --> 03:48:38,680
Speaker 1: a whole sixteen game season. So next up, you got

4557
03:48:38,760 --> 03:48:41,680
Speaker 1: the Jacksonville Jaguars at home. You need to really need

4558
03:48:41,720 --> 03:48:43,680
Speaker 1: to talk to talk about. Yeah, that's a dough So

4559
03:48:43,760 --> 03:48:45,520
Speaker 1: now you're now you're two and three. In my book,

4560
03:48:45,560 --> 03:48:48,040
Speaker 1: you got him at four and one. Right now, I

4561
03:48:48,080 --> 03:48:50,120
Speaker 1: got him at two and three. Now they go on

4562
03:48:50,200 --> 03:48:53,040
Speaker 1: the road the next week and play against the Tennessee Titans.

4563
03:48:53,200 --> 03:48:57,440
Speaker 1: Listen division game, always play you tough. Mike variabro is

4564
03:48:57,760 --> 03:48:59,840
Speaker 1: one head of a coach. He gets his guys up

4565
03:48:59,840 --> 03:49:02,320
Speaker 1: to go. I said, they take at ale in Tennessee.

4566
03:49:02,400 --> 03:49:05,160
Speaker 1: It's gonna be hard to stop there, Henry, It's gonna

4567
03:49:05,160 --> 03:49:08,040
Speaker 1: be hard to stop a J. Brown. I think we

4568
03:49:08,160 --> 03:49:11,440
Speaker 1: struggle this game and they give the W and them

4569
03:49:11,520 --> 03:49:14,040
Speaker 1: being Tennessee Titans. See, I think this is the game

4570
03:49:14,200 --> 03:49:17,560
Speaker 1: where the Texans are starting. They're gonna start to kind

4571
03:49:17,600 --> 03:49:20,120
Speaker 1: of feel themselves a little bit, and they're gonna flex

4572
03:49:20,160 --> 03:49:22,880
Speaker 1: their muscles against the Tennessee Titans on the road. It's

4573
03:49:22,920 --> 03:49:25,360
Speaker 1: a rivalry game. We don't really like them. They don't

4574
03:49:25,400 --> 03:49:28,160
Speaker 1: really like us. That's just how we look at them.

4575
03:49:28,200 --> 03:49:30,840
Speaker 1: And when I say we, I say that because anytime

4576
03:49:30,880 --> 03:49:33,280
Speaker 1: it comes to the Tennessee Titans, I go back into

4577
03:49:33,400 --> 03:49:35,920
Speaker 1: my mentality of when we played against them, and I

4578
03:49:36,000 --> 03:49:39,400
Speaker 1: still don't like them to this and so I see

4579
03:49:39,440 --> 03:49:41,520
Speaker 1: the Texans coming out there and getting the W right there.

4580
03:49:41,560 --> 03:49:43,560
Speaker 1: So now I got them at three and three, they're

4581
03:49:43,600 --> 03:49:45,520
Speaker 1: back at five hundred. You start off one and three,

4582
03:49:45,880 --> 03:49:48,880
Speaker 1: you got right against the Jacksonville Jaguars and the Tennessee Titans.

4583
03:49:49,320 --> 03:49:51,200
Speaker 1: Next up, you got a big one at home. You

4584
03:49:51,320 --> 03:49:53,520
Speaker 1: got the Green Bay Packers. If there's fans allowed to

4585
03:49:53,560 --> 03:49:56,200
Speaker 1: be in the stands. By that point, there will be

4586
03:49:56,280 --> 03:49:58,840
Speaker 1: a lot of change heads in the building. Texans haven't

4587
03:49:58,840 --> 03:50:02,440
Speaker 1: beat the Green Bay pack well at home yet, how

4588
03:50:02,440 --> 03:50:05,200
Speaker 1: do you think that shakes out Aaron Rodgers. He'll take

4589
03:50:05,240 --> 03:50:07,680
Speaker 1: over the game. I'm just here is somebody that's going

4590
03:50:07,800 --> 03:50:10,680
Speaker 1: to exploit what do we think is a better secondary

4591
03:50:11,960 --> 03:50:13,680
Speaker 1: even with the weapons that he does have, And I

4592
03:50:13,800 --> 03:50:16,640
Speaker 1: just don't see. I think Aaron Jones will give Zach

4593
03:50:16,680 --> 03:50:19,200
Speaker 1: Cutting handsome problems coming out of that backfield. So for me,

4594
03:50:19,320 --> 03:50:21,640
Speaker 1: I think Aaron Rodgers and the Packers figure out a

4595
03:50:21,640 --> 03:50:23,320
Speaker 1: way to win that game. So for me, I guess

4596
03:50:23,360 --> 03:50:26,360
Speaker 1: you or one, two, three, four, four and three right now?

4597
03:50:26,520 --> 03:50:28,960
Speaker 1: Four and three to the tight Texans. So you're four

4598
03:50:29,000 --> 03:50:31,760
Speaker 1: and three and I'm gonna say they're four and three

4599
03:50:31,800 --> 03:50:34,360
Speaker 1: as well, because I think that the Texans beat the Packers.

4600
03:50:34,440 --> 03:50:37,560
Speaker 1: I just don't see Aaron Rodgers. He has one target.

4601
03:50:37,800 --> 03:50:39,680
Speaker 1: You just give me a team a one target against

4602
03:50:39,680 --> 03:50:42,040
Speaker 1: the Texans. You got Bradley Roby. I think I like

4603
03:50:42,200 --> 03:50:45,680
Speaker 1: that matchup between him and Adams. I know the Packers

4604
03:50:45,720 --> 03:50:47,680
Speaker 1: are going to try to do the same type of

4605
03:50:47,800 --> 03:50:50,120
Speaker 1: thing that the Vikings did but they don't have the

4606
03:50:50,240 --> 03:50:52,400
Speaker 1: horses that the Vikings do. They don't have the running back,

4607
03:50:52,720 --> 03:50:55,640
Speaker 1: or the or the offensive line that the Vikings. I

4608
03:50:55,720 --> 03:50:57,800
Speaker 1: think the Vikings line is better than the Packers. So

4609
03:50:58,000 --> 03:51:00,800
Speaker 1: give me the Texans beating the Green Bay Packers. So

4610
03:51:00,880 --> 03:51:03,160
Speaker 1: they're four and three going into the bye you come

4611
03:51:03,200 --> 03:51:05,520
Speaker 1: out of the buy you got the Jaguars on the road?

4612
03:51:05,560 --> 03:51:08,280
Speaker 1: Are we're gonna talk about the Jaguar. I'm sorry, I

4613
03:51:08,320 --> 03:51:11,000
Speaker 1: shouldn't say it like that, but for the radio sense,

4614
03:51:11,520 --> 03:51:15,040
Speaker 1: we're coming up against So you got I got a

4615
03:51:15,120 --> 03:51:17,040
Speaker 1: dub on that too. That's five and three. Both both

4616
03:51:17,040 --> 03:51:19,120
Speaker 1: of us got in five and three. Got the Browns

4617
03:51:19,160 --> 03:51:20,760
Speaker 1: on the road. I feel like this might be a

4618
03:51:20,880 --> 03:51:25,080
Speaker 1: Homer pick by This might be a Homer pick by

4619
03:51:25,200 --> 03:51:28,440
Speaker 1: Cecil Shorts. But what do you have shaking out Browns

4620
03:51:28,520 --> 03:51:31,920
Speaker 1: on the road and Texas? How you got it? Yeah,

4621
03:51:32,000 --> 03:51:37,200
Speaker 1: I'm from Cleveland. So close game, they're gonna both teams

4622
03:51:37,200 --> 03:51:39,200
Speaker 1: are gonna play awesome. I pay the Browns one. It's

4623
03:51:39,200 --> 03:51:41,240
Speaker 1: being honest. It ain't no way the Texas losing to

4624
03:51:41,320 --> 03:51:45,200
Speaker 1: the Browns. I don't see it. Texans go to six

4625
03:51:45,280 --> 03:51:46,880
Speaker 1: and three in my book at that point, Now you

4626
03:51:46,960 --> 03:51:49,880
Speaker 1: got the Patriots at home. How does that one shake out? Yeah,

4627
03:51:49,920 --> 03:51:51,320
Speaker 1: I think that all the opts out of all the

4628
03:51:51,400 --> 03:51:54,040
Speaker 1: opouts on defense hurt them. I think Cam is going

4629
03:51:54,120 --> 03:51:57,000
Speaker 1: to play well, but I just think it's too many

4630
03:51:57,080 --> 03:51:59,200
Speaker 1: guys from that great defense they had last year. They're

4631
03:51:59,240 --> 03:52:02,320
Speaker 1: losing too many of key guys. So I think the

4632
03:52:02,840 --> 03:52:05,320
Speaker 1: Texas actually running away with that win. Okay, Now I

4633
03:52:05,400 --> 03:52:08,160
Speaker 1: got the Patriots losing that game as so I got

4634
03:52:08,200 --> 03:52:10,080
Speaker 1: the Texas winning. So I got him at seven and three.

4635
03:52:10,160 --> 03:52:15,680
Speaker 1: Now Lions Thanksgiving Day? Who pulls that one out? Oh easily?

4636
03:52:15,880 --> 03:52:19,120
Speaker 1: Texas seem I'm against that. I think the Texans going

4637
03:52:19,160 --> 03:52:20,640
Speaker 1: the road and lose to the Lions, and Lions are

4638
03:52:20,680 --> 03:52:23,200
Speaker 1: gonna be better than what people think this year as

4639
03:52:23,240 --> 03:52:25,800
Speaker 1: long as long as Stafford stays healthy. That's gonna be

4640
03:52:25,880 --> 03:52:27,760
Speaker 1: one of those games because after going the street, either

4641
03:52:27,800 --> 03:52:30,240
Speaker 1: one about four games in the road, you're feeling good

4642
03:52:30,280 --> 03:52:35,040
Speaker 1: about yourself about the Lions. Besides that, they always played,

4643
03:52:35,080 --> 03:52:37,640
Speaker 1: they always playing. Thanksgive give you that. That's it. What's

4644
03:52:37,680 --> 03:52:41,760
Speaker 1: the boy? The receiver's name Galla Day? I like. I

4645
03:52:41,880 --> 03:52:44,800
Speaker 1: like the receiving corps. I like mar Marvin Jones. Don't

4646
03:52:44,800 --> 03:52:47,440
Speaker 1: they can get it done. You're going to December. You

4647
03:52:47,520 --> 03:52:50,360
Speaker 1: got the Coats, the Bears, the Coats, the Bangers, and

4648
03:52:50,440 --> 03:52:54,360
Speaker 1: the Titans. Quickly. Now come out where you got uh

4649
03:52:54,880 --> 03:52:59,000
Speaker 1: lose to the Coats, beat the Bears, beat the Coats,

4650
03:52:59,040 --> 03:53:01,200
Speaker 1: just because it's tough to games right, going back and forth.

4651
03:53:01,240 --> 03:53:03,320
Speaker 1: And I think the Coats are gonna be very, very good,

4652
03:53:03,680 --> 03:53:06,560
Speaker 1: very style on defense. They'll beat the Bengals, and then

4653
03:53:06,840 --> 03:53:10,280
Speaker 1: I think they'll be in position to win the This

4654
03:53:10,480 --> 03:53:11,800
Speaker 1: is just what has been happening in the last couple

4655
03:53:11,800 --> 03:53:14,480
Speaker 1: of years. The last game they'll lose simply because they are.

4656
03:53:14,520 --> 03:53:17,400
Speaker 1: The divisions already locked up. So they'll finish the year

4657
03:53:17,480 --> 03:53:21,120
Speaker 1: ten and six. See for me, flip the two Colts games.

4658
03:53:21,160 --> 03:53:24,120
Speaker 1: I think that they will. I think they will win

4659
03:53:24,200 --> 03:53:26,480
Speaker 1: at home, lose on the road, but they will lose

4660
03:53:26,560 --> 03:53:28,560
Speaker 1: that game against the Titans that I got them at

4661
03:53:28,600 --> 03:53:30,520
Speaker 1: ten and six. They'll beat the Bears on the road

4662
03:53:30,560 --> 03:53:32,880
Speaker 1: to beat the Bengals at home. I got ten and

4663
03:53:32,960 --> 03:53:35,560
Speaker 1: six season for the Texans. That's what they will finish

4664
03:53:35,640 --> 03:53:38,640
Speaker 1: the same. It's a toss up to figure out, you know,

4665
03:53:38,920 --> 03:53:41,760
Speaker 1: who's gonna be second. But because earlier I thought that

4666
03:53:41,880 --> 03:53:44,200
Speaker 1: the Colts were going to be second in the division.

4667
03:53:44,240 --> 03:53:46,120
Speaker 1: I had the Titans, excuse me, third in the devision.

4668
03:53:46,160 --> 03:53:47,800
Speaker 1: I had the Titans. This is the number one team.

4669
03:53:48,080 --> 03:53:50,320
Speaker 1: But as time has gone on, I just feel like

4670
03:53:50,440 --> 03:53:53,040
Speaker 1: the Texans and the Colts are the two top teams

4671
03:53:53,080 --> 03:53:55,160
Speaker 1: in the division, and so it'll be a toss up

4672
03:53:55,200 --> 03:53:58,640
Speaker 1: between those two. But ten and six Texans win a division.

4673
03:53:59,320 --> 03:54:02,600
Speaker 1: Maybe may not, we don't know. But that's how I

4674
03:54:02,720 --> 03:54:05,320
Speaker 1: got it, you know it was. I guess it's up

4675
03:54:05,320 --> 03:54:08,320
Speaker 1: against that time. We're up against the clock for cecil shorts.

4747
03:57:46,000 --> 03:57:49,120
Speaker 1: sports fans, ask who should be the MVP. Everybody has

4748
03:57:49,160 --> 03:57:51,720
Speaker 1: an opinion. This player does this and that player does that,

4749
03:57:51,960 --> 03:57:54,120
Speaker 1: and I could be persuaded either way. But when it

4750
03:57:54,160 --> 03:57:57,480
Speaker 1: comes to an MVP of MPG, yeah, miles per gallant,

4751
03:57:57,640 --> 03:58:01,440
Speaker 1: I've made my choice. Chevron with Techron Why well, Number one,

4752
03:58:01,600 --> 03:58:04,960
Speaker 1: it's proven no gasoline gets better mileage. Number two, No

4753
03:58:05,080 --> 03:58:07,520
Speaker 1: gasoline has more cleaning power to help keep vital engine

4754
03:58:07,520 --> 03:58:11,520
