Speaker 1: Texans All Access, keeping you up today with everything involving

00:00:11,600 --> 00:00:15,280
Speaker 1: your Texans and talking about the Texans and analyzing the

5
00:00:15,320 --> 00:00:18,160
Speaker 1: Texans and sometimes talking about other stuff too, but mostly

6
00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:21,840
Speaker 1: you guessed it Texans. I'm Mark Van Damyer tonight, joined

7
00:00:21,840 --> 00:00:24,759
Speaker 1: by DP City and John Harris. How's it going, folks.

8
00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:28,200
Speaker 1: Happy spring? Yes, it's the first day of spring, first

9
00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:29,720
Speaker 1: day of spring. And you just complained that it was

10
00:00:29,880 --> 00:00:33,280
Speaker 1: hold outside. It's snowing in places. It was a funny complaint.

11
00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:35,280
Speaker 1: It was a twentieth is the first day of spring?

12
00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:39,000
Speaker 1: Of those twenty first what today? Today? Today is the

13
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:41,920
Speaker 1: first day of spring? Oh it is? According to Twitter? Okay,

14
00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:47,920
Speaker 1: are people mad about it? On Twitter? Twitter is angry

15
00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:51,400
Speaker 1: about si me something that Twitter. Rozzie is never angry

16
00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:54,920
Speaker 1: that Twitter exists. They actually they're angry about that as well.

17
00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:58,000
Speaker 1: So yeah, how it came to me. It's it's ridiculous.

18
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:00,320
Speaker 1: I think everybody on Twitter's mad. I believe it's Patti

19
00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:04,640
Speaker 1: Smith's birthday too, So happy birthday, Patty, Happy birthday. Yes,

20
00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:07,720
Speaker 1: and it's a happy day. For the Texans really, because

21
00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:10,160
Speaker 1: we're still sort of basking in the glow of the signings,

22
00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:13,040
Speaker 1: and again, free agent signings, you never know how it's

23
00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:14,880
Speaker 1: all going to play out. We've been happy about free

24
00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:17,640
Speaker 1: agency signings before. Some of them have worked out better

25
00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:19,240
Speaker 1: than others. I don't have to go over the ones

26
00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:21,399
Speaker 1: that didn't or the ones that did, you know what

27
00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:23,319
Speaker 1: I'm talking about. But I think there's a lot of

28
00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:25,720
Speaker 1: reason for optimism. You know, when you sign a player

29
00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:29,400
Speaker 1: like the Honey Badger Tyran Matthew is not a player

30
00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:31,000
Speaker 1: who's long in the tooth. This is a guy who's

31
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:32,760
Speaker 1: twenty five years old. And I don't I want to

32
00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:36,440
Speaker 1: get your take everybody, because I was impressed with him yesterday,

33
00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:38,320
Speaker 1: and I really I've seen him a little bit before

34
00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:40,160
Speaker 1: and sound bites and of course LSU is where I

35
00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:42,600
Speaker 1: saw a whole lot more Badger than I did with

36
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:45,560
Speaker 1: his career at Arizona. But I was really impressed with him.

37
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:48,320
Speaker 1: I thought, Wow, he just comes across as such a leader,

38
00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:51,440
Speaker 1: such gravitas at the podium. He really just had a

39
00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:55,280
Speaker 1: presence about him, so confident, and you know, like like

40
00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:57,320
Speaker 1: a veteran. It's hard to believe that He's only twenty

41
00:01:57,320 --> 00:01:59,000
Speaker 1: five years old. He's been through so much in his

42
00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:02,520
Speaker 1: career already, you know. But just to him talking about

43
00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:05,960
Speaker 1: his ties to Texas, to Houston, how he relocated to

44
00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:08,760
Speaker 1: Humble after Hurricane Katrina. I loved hearing all that. I

45
00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:11,560
Speaker 1: think the fans really are really drawn to him anyway,

46
00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:12,799
Speaker 1: and the fact that he's got a little bit of

47
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:16,079
Speaker 1: a history with Houston's nice. He loves JJ Watt, He's

48
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:19,079
Speaker 1: excited about playing with him and Jadevian Clowney and Whitney Merciless.

49
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:21,080
Speaker 1: He's excited about what the offense has to offer with

50
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:24,040
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson, I thought all of his reasons for wanting

51
00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:26,160
Speaker 1: to come to Houston. It made me even more excited

52
00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:27,880
Speaker 1: because of the fact that he said, I could have

53
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:30,040
Speaker 1: gotten more money somewhere else, but this is the place

54
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:32,280
Speaker 1: that I wanted to be because I'm hungry, and here's

55
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:33,600
Speaker 1: a team that's hungry, and this is one of the

56
00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:35,320
Speaker 1: best defenses in the league, and this is where I

57
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:37,200
Speaker 1: want to be. I mean, how do you not get

58
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:38,880
Speaker 1: excited about a guy that comes to your team and

59
00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:40,920
Speaker 1: says that I just don't know in the fact that

60
00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:42,760
Speaker 1: he's we were talking about this on my podcast a

61
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:45,440
Speaker 1: little bit earlier, John Drew and I that he's coming

62
00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:48,480
Speaker 1: off of a season where he started all sixteen games,

63
00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:51,280
Speaker 1: he's healthy, he made an impact on the field, and

64
00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:54,720
Speaker 1: here he comes, and he's the Texans have a huge

65
00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:57,480
Speaker 1: a position of need at safety and he can instantly

66
00:02:57,480 --> 00:02:59,600
Speaker 1: come in and make an impact well, no matter whether

67
00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:03,560
Speaker 1: he plays safety or defensive end, or linebacker or defensive

68
00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:08,560
Speaker 1: end or spot corners. But you but you laugh. But

69
00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:11,519
Speaker 1: if you went back and I watched the Jaguars game,

70
00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:14,280
Speaker 1: they used him as a pass rusher on certain downs

71
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:16,360
Speaker 1: that the Cardinals wanting to die, and you'll see it.

72
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:18,519
Speaker 1: He forces a sack. Now, he doesn't get the sack,

73
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:21,480
Speaker 1: but he forced the sack for Olson Pierre because he

74
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:24,080
Speaker 1: went one on one on Marcedes Lewis cut today by

75
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:27,280
Speaker 1: the Jaguars. And yes, I would take a look. He's

76
00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:29,720
Speaker 1: two hundred and sixty seven pounds hoty badgers one hundred

77
00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:31,880
Speaker 1: and eighty. He's got eighty seven pounds on him and

78
00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:36,120
Speaker 1: Matthew beat him one on one to get to Bortles. Bordles. Oh,

79
00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:38,720
Speaker 1: he had turntail and go the other way, ran right

80
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:41,080
Speaker 1: into Olson Pierre. That was a sack. A little while later,

81
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:44,040
Speaker 1: they're in coverage and the Jags had a great place

82
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:46,800
Speaker 1: schemed up where Matthews six, she was gonna be one

83
00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:48,560
Speaker 1: on one on Keelan Cole. And you remember that game

84
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:52,880
Speaker 1: in December, Keelan Cole burned everybody two months after sleeping

85
00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:56,720
Speaker 1: in his car running up. Now that was Jammickinson, but

86
00:03:56,840 --> 00:03:59,200
Speaker 1: either way both them did. But Cole hurts down the

87
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:03,720
Speaker 1: field and Cole with the route they ran. Buddha Baker

88
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:04,960
Speaker 1: came out of the middle of the field to cover

89
00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:06,920
Speaker 1: Mercedes Lewis and a crossing route. So I don't have

90
00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:08,920
Speaker 1: Tyron Matthew one on one with Culan Cole down the

91
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:10,800
Speaker 1: middle of the field with no help in the middle

92
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:13,480
Speaker 1: of the field, and Matthew was hip to hip all

93
00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:15,600
Speaker 1: the way down the field and when the ball came down,

94
00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:18,440
Speaker 1: Matthew tied im perfectly knocked it away in completion. The

95
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:20,960
Speaker 1: next play, they tried to run a wheel route on Matthew,

96
00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:23,600
Speaker 1: try to pick him. He got it out of the way,

97
00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:25,880
Speaker 1: the pick got back in the hip pocket. Mortals tried

98
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:27,880
Speaker 1: to throw. Realize Matthews there had to pull it down.

99
00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:31,560
Speaker 1: He got sacked, so he did it rushing the quarterback.

100
00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:34,760
Speaker 1: He did it deep in coverage, and he's done it

101
00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:36,880
Speaker 1: everywhere in between. But how many players are you gonna

102
00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:39,480
Speaker 1: find in the NFL they can do that. Not too

103
00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:41,320
Speaker 1: many guys can do one or the other. And when

104
00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:44,360
Speaker 1: he walks in this building, you'd be hard pressed after

105
00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:46,839
Speaker 1: what Mercill's clowney to say that any of the other

106
00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:49,599
Speaker 1: Texans are better pass rushers than he is. Well crazy

107
00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:51,400
Speaker 1: is that sounds? When you look at what they have

108
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:54,440
Speaker 1: at safety and corner. I mean, who do they have

109
00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:56,719
Speaker 1: that could possibly do that? Nobody? I mean, Kareem's a

110
00:04:56,720 --> 00:04:59,000
Speaker 1: real physical player. He could rush the pass or on occasion,

111
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:01,520
Speaker 1: But this is a player, like you said, you could

112
00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:04,040
Speaker 1: be that versatile. With the threat of doing it is

113
00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:06,320
Speaker 1: going to make offensive coordinators think about how I have

114
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:07,960
Speaker 1: to defend or how I have to deal with it

115
00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:10,919
Speaker 1: as an offensive coordinator. And Romeo Cornell must be just,

116
00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:14,840
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, so happy, drawn up stuff already for him,

117
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:17,520
Speaker 1: the versatility that he brings. You know, Romeo is gonna

118
00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:19,320
Speaker 1: take full advantage of it. I love the fact that

119
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:21,280
Speaker 1: they're paired together. He had so many nice things that's

120
00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:24,000
Speaker 1: about Romeo and his press conference too. How when you

121
00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:26,360
Speaker 1: know the Super Bowls he's won the experience, he's got

122
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:30,080
Speaker 1: his he did his Hallmark, he talked, he talked about

123
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:34,080
Speaker 1: every he's talked to J Joe. He's watched Kareem over

124
00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:35,839
Speaker 1: the years being in the SEC. I felt like he

125
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:38,320
Speaker 1: had a real, really good familiarity with the team. You

126
00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:40,200
Speaker 1: know what, you brought it up deep you a little

127
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:43,719
Speaker 1: bit just and you guys both about his presence. And

128
00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:46,039
Speaker 1: I've mentioned this a couple of times, but on the

129
00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:49,479
Speaker 1: Amazon series All or Nothing, it's after it's during the

130
00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:52,120
Speaker 1: twenty fifteenth season where he's having a Pro Bowl year

131
00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:54,720
Speaker 1: and he tours ACL late in year against Philadelphia, late

132
00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:56,800
Speaker 1: in the game, they're up big. He makes a pick

133
00:05:57,000 --> 00:05:58,680
Speaker 1: kind of hes gonna be his last game on or

134
00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:01,200
Speaker 1: his last play of the game anyways, and he tears

135
00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:04,279
Speaker 1: his ACL, and it's a gut punch for that team.

136
00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:06,280
Speaker 1: Bruce arians has to step up on Monday at the

137
00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:08,560
Speaker 1: press conference and he starts breaking down talking about him,

138
00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:10,800
Speaker 1: you know, tearing as a cl. I mean, it's it's

139
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:14,000
Speaker 1: gut wrenching. And a couple episodes later, they're getting ready

140
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:16,560
Speaker 1: to play in the NFC Championship Game. So at this

141
00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:19,880
Speaker 1: point he's twenty five now, so at this point, he's

142
00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:23,280
Speaker 1: twenty three years old. Can you imagine being twenty three

143
00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:25,520
Speaker 1: years old and he stands up in the back of

144
00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:29,799
Speaker 1: the room and he gives these guys one of the

145
00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:34,760
Speaker 1: best pep talks I've ever heard, and I was blown away,

146
00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:37,560
Speaker 1: and I started thinking, that guy's twenty three years old,

147
00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:40,719
Speaker 1: and every eye in that room was on him, nodding

148
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:42,840
Speaker 1: to everything he said. You're talking to Clays Campbell. Guy's

149
00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:47,000
Speaker 1: been around, Patrick Peterson who was an All Pro, Corey Redding,

150
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:49,640
Speaker 1: who's been who had been playing for eighty years. He's

151
00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:52,279
Speaker 1: got all the coaches in there listening. Everybody is listening

152
00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:55,880
Speaker 1: to a twenty three year old safety who had torn

153
00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:58,919
Speaker 1: his acl and they are on hanging on every word.

154
00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:03,239
Speaker 1: That's the kind of, like you said, gravitass that he carries.

155
00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:10,760
Speaker 1: That's the worry. I brought it up first, but it's radio,

156
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:17,440
Speaker 1: so sorry. I think it's a great it's a great

157
00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:20,240
Speaker 1: word to use. But can you imagine walking into a

158
00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:23,440
Speaker 1: building with a ton of adults and a twenty three

159
00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:25,840
Speaker 1: year old stands up and you're like, off all that

160
00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:28,000
Speaker 1: guy anywhere? Well, it's the respect they have for him

161
00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:32,120
Speaker 1: not only as not only as a player, but as

162
00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:34,320
Speaker 1: a person and everything he's been through. And what do

163
00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:36,280
Speaker 1: I always say about rookies coming into this league, What

164
00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:38,360
Speaker 1: does Bill O'Brien say about this league in general? You

165
00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:40,200
Speaker 1: gotta get better. You gotta get better every day. You

166
00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:43,080
Speaker 1: gotta get better every year. When you're drafted into this league,

167
00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:45,960
Speaker 1: you are who you are. If you don't improve from that,

168
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:48,560
Speaker 1: people tend to think that that's all you're ever going

169
00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:50,800
Speaker 1: to be. What you are the day you're drafted. If

170
00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:52,800
Speaker 1: that's all you're ever gonna be, you're not gonna make it.

171
00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:55,000
Speaker 1: They all got to get better, even the very best

172
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:57,920
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson's got to get better. They all have to improve.

173
00:07:57,960 --> 00:07:59,520
Speaker 1: If you don't, it's like a shark. If you don't

174
00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:02,240
Speaker 1: move forward, where you die. Although that's kind of a

175
00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:05,360
Speaker 1: false bit of information about sharks. Do not all like that,

176
00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:08,880
Speaker 1: you know, that's a gravitas there. Yeah, But you know,

177
00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:11,080
Speaker 1: I think I think I think the adversity that he

178
00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:13,920
Speaker 1: went through in college sort of propelled him to have

179
00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:15,720
Speaker 1: the career that he's had, because remember when he was

180
00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:17,800
Speaker 1: coming out of college and he was training for the draft,

181
00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:20,880
Speaker 1: and they're all these questions of is he going to be?

182
00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:22,280
Speaker 1: You know, is he gonna be a bust. Is he

183
00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:24,240
Speaker 1: gonna be able to straighten things out? He was training

184
00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:25,960
Speaker 1: here in Houston with John Lucas. I know he talked

185
00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:27,920
Speaker 1: about John Lucas. He was asked about him in the

186
00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:30,920
Speaker 1: press conference yesterday, and you know, people were just so

187
00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:33,920
Speaker 1: surprised at how he was able to turn things around

188
00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:36,559
Speaker 1: for himself. He embraced it. He embraced it, and then

189
00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:39,040
Speaker 1: the contract that he got awarded just a few years ago,

190
00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:42,160
Speaker 1: They're like, wow, you know, he really earned every single

191
00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:44,920
Speaker 1: penny of that contract. It's really you know, I'm sure

192
00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:46,840
Speaker 1: he wanted things to work out in Arizona, but I'm

193
00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:49,000
Speaker 1: really happy for this city that they didn't and that

194
00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:51,080
Speaker 1: he's here to help this d John Lucas has worked

195
00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:54,040
Speaker 1: with a lot of guys and one of them who

196
00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:57,040
Speaker 1: did not embrace it at the time was JaMarcus Russell.

197
00:08:57,120 --> 00:09:00,880
Speaker 1: Because when I did the show with John Lopez, JaMarcus

198
00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:03,400
Speaker 1: Russell came up the morning show, he came up to

199
00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:05,679
Speaker 1: the studio and he was working with John Lucas at

200
00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:07,520
Speaker 1: the time. And this is part of the JaMarcus Russell

201
00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:10,280
Speaker 1: like rehabilitation campaign. I don't mean to make light of

202
00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:12,880
Speaker 1: the word rehabilitation because that's what he was actually going through.

203
00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:15,480
Speaker 1: But he came in and you could tell that he

204
00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:17,680
Speaker 1: wasn't quite getting it yet. You know that he didn't

205
00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:21,280
Speaker 1: quite get it, and that's no fault of Luke because

206
00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:23,600
Speaker 1: he does tremendous work. You gotta be able to embrace it,

207
00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:26,040
Speaker 1: which is and look the honey badger, I don't know.

208
00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:28,400
Speaker 1: I don't want to compare and contrast his issues with

209
00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:32,080
Speaker 1: what JaMarcus Russell was going through off the field, because

210
00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:34,960
Speaker 1: that's their business. But the point is, you gotta embrace it.

211
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:37,720
Speaker 1: You gotta take advantage of what he's offering you and

212
00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:41,000
Speaker 1: also be the kind of person that apparently Tyrann Matthew is,

213
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:42,480
Speaker 1: and that's the kind of person who wants to improve

214
00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:44,199
Speaker 1: his life. Because when he was up there at the podium,

215
00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:46,719
Speaker 1: whatever happened in the past LSU, all that stuff, he

216
00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:49,560
Speaker 1: talks about it freely. Yeah, my issues at LSU whatever.

217
00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:51,760
Speaker 1: I'm five years into my NFL career. I'm a man,

218
00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:54,360
Speaker 1: I'm a veteran, and I'm ready to take the next step.

219
00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:57,439
Speaker 1: And that's here people are saying, well, why not Arizona

220
00:09:57,559 --> 00:10:00,880
Speaker 1: because their renegotiation was worth more money. Maybe he just

221
00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:02,640
Speaker 1: decided a they wanted me to take a pay cut.

222
00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:04,439
Speaker 1: I wasn't willing to do it. I'd rather go somewhere

223
00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:06,240
Speaker 1: else to prove myself. And that's what he's doing. And

224
00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:08,480
Speaker 1: how about the fact that Bruce arians is is the

225
00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:10,880
Speaker 1: only coach that he played under. Bruce Arians retired. They

226
00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:13,000
Speaker 1: finished eight and eight, They didn't finish with a bad record.

227
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:14,800
Speaker 1: But now that Bruce Arians gone, there's a lot of

228
00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:17,720
Speaker 1: change and turn over there. So he would essentially been

229
00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:20,880
Speaker 1: a fresh start for him. Anyway. Nobody can stayed there. Nobody,

230
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:23,160
Speaker 1: I don't think any of the players, or certainly he

231
00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:25,360
Speaker 1: hasn't said it publicly. Maybe one or two has talked

232
00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:28,200
Speaker 1: about the Sam Bradford deal in Arizona, which is which

233
00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:30,160
Speaker 1: may or may not be going down well with some

234
00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:32,319
Speaker 1: of the veterans there. Well, it says completely I mean,

235
00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:36,000
Speaker 1: they've overhauled a lot of things money for Sam Bradford,

236
00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:38,600
Speaker 1: who's not exactly I mean, he's a good quarterback, but

237
00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:42,079
Speaker 1: he's not this proven commodity. Now maybe Bradford Arians is

238
00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:44,120
Speaker 1: not there. I mean, look at what I think that

239
00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:46,719
Speaker 1: having a Carson Palmer in Arizona was Bruce Arians I

240
00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:49,160
Speaker 1: think very positive for a while, you know, and especially

241
00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:50,920
Speaker 1: getting a chance to watch the inner workings of the

242
00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:54,200
Speaker 1: Arizona Cardinals. I think Steve Kim is a good GM.

243
00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:56,040
Speaker 1: I think he was. I think he was stuck having

244
00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:58,600
Speaker 1: to pay Sam Bradford because they had no quarterback situation.

245
00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:01,679
Speaker 1: They had to the quarterbacks. Carson Bauma was done. They

246
00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:04,120
Speaker 1: had no quarterback situation. But I think I think Bruce

247
00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:07,640
Speaker 1: Arians was that buffer in between the you know, upstairs

248
00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:09,800
Speaker 1: and downstair. I think Bruce Arians was a great buffer.

249
00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:12,360
Speaker 1: I think he was hard on those players, but those

250
00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:15,680
Speaker 1: players understood how much he cared for them. And I

251
00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:18,880
Speaker 1: think Matthew felt that. And I remember, I remember Matthew

252
00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:22,760
Speaker 1: there's NFL films. He talked about how Bruce Arians talked

253
00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:25,080
Speaker 1: to him about being kicked out of high school and

254
00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:27,640
Speaker 1: he talked about what he had gone through when that happened,

255
00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:30,400
Speaker 1: and Tyrn really had a connection with him. And then

256
00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:32,839
Speaker 1: he went to a place where Patrick Peterson was there,

257
00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:36,760
Speaker 1: a guy that was a junior in Matthews first year

258
00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:38,959
Speaker 1: at LSU, and so they connected there. So there were

259
00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:42,320
Speaker 1: connections there to get him going, to get him started,

260
00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:45,439
Speaker 1: and then I think he found his place as a

261
00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:48,720
Speaker 1: NFL player, as ANFL star, as a top safety in

262
00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:51,079
Speaker 1: this league that he was able to say, all right,

263
00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:54,160
Speaker 1: look and he strikes me. He's the kind of guy that, oh, Arizona,

264
00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:57,080
Speaker 1: you don't want me, all right, I'll go here on

265
00:11:57,120 --> 00:11:58,439
Speaker 1: a one year deal. And that's one thing to keep

266
00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:01,520
Speaker 1: in mind. It's a one year, but there have been

267
00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:03,640
Speaker 1: other players. Alshan Jeffrey is a perfect example of this.

268
00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:05,800
Speaker 1: Alshan Jeffrey sign a one year deal with the Eagles

269
00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:09,520
Speaker 1: going into twenty seventeen. In late November, he sent a

270
00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:12,120
Speaker 1: multi year deal to stay with the Eagles. And that's

271
00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:14,440
Speaker 1: my hope here with Tyron is that he is playing

272
00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:17,760
Speaker 1: at that level that they do sign a multi year deal,

273
00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:19,640
Speaker 1: that we do want you to be a Texan for

274
00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:22,520
Speaker 1: a long time, that this is the right fit for you,

275
00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:25,360
Speaker 1: and we can go win championship with them before he

276
00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:29,120
Speaker 1: hits the market. So that's the beauty of this. Yeah, absolutely, absolutely.

277
00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:31,120
Speaker 1: And then on top of just the playmaking skills and

278
00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:33,400
Speaker 1: Deep and I were talking about it on her podcast,

279
00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:36,040
Speaker 1: deeply ripped off the stats his stats and I always

280
00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:38,440
Speaker 1: found a fascinating back, especially in fourteen when JJ was

281
00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:41,760
Speaker 1: at his peak. Every column on the stats sheet, most

282
00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:43,800
Speaker 1: of them you see zeros, but you would see JJ

283
00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:46,600
Speaker 1: with a one pass breakup and interception and a fumble,

284
00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:50,120
Speaker 1: a fourth fumble, a sack attack like he filled it up.

285
00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:52,679
Speaker 1: When you look at Tyron Matthew stats, he's got a

286
00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:54,400
Speaker 1: number in each one of those columns where a lot

287
00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:56,679
Speaker 1: of guys just have zeros. He's got numbers and all

288
00:12:56,679 --> 00:13:00,960
Speaker 1: of them quarterback hits, sacks, TfL's intercept, it's tackles. He's

289
00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:04,079
Speaker 1: got numbers all chang Absolutely, he's a game effect or.

290
00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:06,400
Speaker 1: All right. So everyone keeps hearing about Deep's podcast. What

291
00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:08,640
Speaker 1: is it DP? It is the Deep Slamp podcast. I

292
00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:11,520
Speaker 1: had JJ Moses on it, and JJ Moses, uh, you know,

293
00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:15,800
Speaker 1: promoted within the building here. He's Texans ambassador turned director

294
00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:18,440
Speaker 1: of Player Engagement. So congrats to him, but not so

295
00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:20,960
Speaker 1: congrats to me because I got to find new podcast host.

296
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:23,280
Speaker 1: But Drew and Johnny did a great job filling in,

297
00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:25,120
Speaker 1: and I think we're gonna bring in some former players

298
00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:27,800
Speaker 1: to talk about free agency and all the offseason news.

299
00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:29,760
Speaker 1: So we'll keep it going. But it's available. You can

300
00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:33,360
Speaker 1: subscribe on iTunes, tune in, or Stitcher. Leave a review,

301
00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:35,960
Speaker 1: as well as Johnny and Drew's in the Lab where

302
00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:38,559
Speaker 1: they're always cooking up fund statistics. I have a question

303
00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:41,160
Speaker 1: for you, Mark with the honey Badger. This is great

304
00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:43,680
Speaker 1: for a play by play guy. Great, this is fantasty,

305
00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:46,920
Speaker 1: he said, a nickname, it's a catchy nickname. It's an animal.

306
00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:49,800
Speaker 1: What more could you ask for out of life? What

307
00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:52,760
Speaker 1: you have? You started brainstorming some some good play cars.

308
00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:55,960
Speaker 1: I think it does itself. I mean, you know, the Badger.

309
00:13:56,440 --> 00:14:00,360
Speaker 1: Johnny was pointing out how wolf Ley Roof, the color

310
00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:04,000
Speaker 1: commentator for the Cardinals, U refers to him as the Badger.

311
00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:05,839
Speaker 1: I already decided I was going to do that from

312
00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:07,959
Speaker 1: time to time. But then you've got JJ and you've

313
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:10,319
Speaker 1: got badgers. Oh you've got I don't know if you

314
00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:15,679
Speaker 1: can ye, honey Badger. Yeah. And then yeah, I just

315
00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:18,240
Speaker 1: want the takeaway train to get rolling again. Oh, the

316
00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:22,800
Speaker 1: takeaway take away train. They gotta takeaway change, turnover change,

317
00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:26,560
Speaker 1: you gotta take away train. It would be completely differently different.

318
00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:29,560
Speaker 1: Thanks a lot. All right, Johnny's gonna stick around. We're

319
00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:32,160
Speaker 1: gonna play a game rapid fire, and I call it

320
00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:36,200
Speaker 1: if they played this weekend Plus Zach Fulton New Texans

321
00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:39,960

Speaker 1: we continue on the show, let's tool around with the

323
00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:46,400
Speaker 1: Texans depth chart, shall we. I mean the coaches aren't

324
00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:49,600
Speaker 1: going to do that publicly, but we will because it's

325
00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:51,800
Speaker 1: Texans All Access. Welcome back to the show, Mark Van

326
00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:54,200
Speaker 1: Damer and John Harris with you. Are you ready, Johnny?

327
00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:56,800
Speaker 1: You think that Bill O'Brien wouldn't come on here and

328
00:14:56,840 --> 00:14:59,040
Speaker 1: talk about the depth chart with us? What you're saying

329
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:02,120
Speaker 1: to talk about like the NBA playoffs with us and

330
00:15:02,640 --> 00:15:04,920
Speaker 1: the NCAA tournament and how's how it's going, and his

331
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:08,080
Speaker 1: thoughts on Tiger Woods, and we got to do that

332
00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:10,400
Speaker 1: show soon. I'll catch up with OLB next week at

333
00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:12,520
Speaker 1: the owners meetings and then maybe a couple of weeks

334
00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:14,720
Speaker 1: later let's do the Bill O'Brien and everything, but the

335
00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:16,720
Speaker 1: Texans show. Yeah, I think that would be great because

336
00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:19,080
Speaker 1: there there's so much going on, Like there's thoughts about

337
00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:22,240
Speaker 1: Tiger coming back and being back in the mix. I know, people,

338
00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:27,040
Speaker 1: Tiger's back. Look what Tiger was, he'll nobody nobody will

339
00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:30,000
Speaker 1: ever get to Nobody will ever get not anytime soon,

340
00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:32,200
Speaker 1: it appears, But it doesn't mean that Tiger can't be

341
00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:34,840
Speaker 1: now he's healthy. Yeah, that's a big thing. Now he's

342
00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:38,000
Speaker 1: healthy doesn't mean that he can't be content. That up.

343
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:39,560
Speaker 1: I'm glad you brought that up, because what do we

344
00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:43,080
Speaker 1: always say? There are certain guys, if they're healthy, they're

345
00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:46,280
Speaker 1: gonna be really good. Right, Absolutely, Watson, if he's healthy,

346
00:15:46,520 --> 00:15:50,160
Speaker 1: he's gonna be really good. Tiger. He wasn't healthy all

347
00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:52,240
Speaker 1: these years. Right, Remember the year where he first came

348
00:15:52,280 --> 00:15:53,880
Speaker 1: back and he was winning a bunch of tournaments but

349
00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:56,080
Speaker 1: not majors, but he did really well. I think he

350
00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:57,880
Speaker 1: won at bay Hill did He won a bunch of

351
00:15:57,880 --> 00:16:00,880
Speaker 1: tournaments but they were not majors. And then the other

352
00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:03,840
Speaker 1: trouble started, the health problems. And look, it's been a

353
00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:07,520
Speaker 1: long haul for him. But healthy now in great shape.

354
00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:10,400
Speaker 1: Now look what he's able to accomplish. He's able to

355
00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:13,440
Speaker 1: be in these tournaments with really good fields. Down does

356
00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:15,280
Speaker 1: he win the Masters? I don't know. This is incredibly

357
00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:18,520
Speaker 1: difficult stuff. This just in golf. Try it. It's hard.

358
00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:22,920
Speaker 1: All right, let's do this. This is presuming health. Okay,

359
00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:25,160
Speaker 1: I'm going to presume health on the Texans and if

360
00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:27,640
Speaker 1: they played this weekend. It's a fun game. We're gonna

361
00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:29,960
Speaker 1: mess around with the depth chart here, So let's do

362
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:32,520
Speaker 1: it right now. You know the quarterback is number four,

363
00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:35,760
Speaker 1: there's no question about that, and you're starting running back

364
00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:38,560
Speaker 1: is with Diante Foreman and Lamar Miller healthy. I guess

365
00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:40,520
Speaker 1: pick one depending on the matchup, because it's a game

366
00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:44,520
Speaker 1: planned offense, and I fully believe that Deante Foreman fully

367
00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:48,120
Speaker 1: healthy could contend for a quote starting job. But I

368
00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:51,360
Speaker 1: think they'll look at it as hey, whoever we deem

369
00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:54,640
Speaker 1: is better against this particular defense, especially however they want

370
00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:56,640
Speaker 1: to start or play the middle or the end of

371
00:16:56,640 --> 00:16:59,600
Speaker 1: that game. I'm not putting him in this class yet.

372
00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:03,880
Speaker 1: But who's the starter in New Orleans? Alvin Kamara or

373
00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:08,080
Speaker 1: mark Ingram. Yeah, it's a good question because who's on there,

374
00:17:08,280 --> 00:17:11,240
Speaker 1: and we see them in the regular season plays a ton.

375
00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:13,679
Speaker 1: The answers didn't matter, right, yeah, because you found a

376
00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:15,679
Speaker 1: way to use both of them, and both of them

377
00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:19,120
Speaker 1: were huge pieces of that particular offense. So it doesn't matter.

378
00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:22,239
Speaker 1: I mean that running back in particular, where you can

379
00:17:22,280 --> 00:17:24,920
Speaker 1: do so many different things with personnel matchups and things.

380
00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:28,280
Speaker 1: I don't really sweat that one too much at you know,

381
00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:31,040
Speaker 1: at running back, I would. I think you're right, it

382
00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:33,760
Speaker 1: does depend on the matchup and who you're going against

383
00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:35,440
Speaker 1: and how you want to how you want to establish.

384
00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:39,280
Speaker 1: If you're want to run football and pounded early, then

385
00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:41,200
Speaker 1: maybe the Foreman. If you want to spread them out,

386
00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:43,560
Speaker 1: it's Miller. Maybe you want to go in between. Maybe

387
00:17:43,560 --> 00:17:45,320
Speaker 1: you play both of them although their packages, you put

388
00:17:45,320 --> 00:17:48,040
Speaker 1: both them on the field. Although Foreman, like we said, healthy,

389
00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:50,159
Speaker 1: you want to spread them out. Foreman doesn't look like

390
00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:52,880
Speaker 1: a bad option either. Look at the bailout he provided

391
00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:55,040
Speaker 1: for Watson in the Patriots game a couple of times,

392
00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:56,520
Speaker 1: and then he can power and run for you. You You

393
00:17:56,600 --> 00:17:58,600
Speaker 1: can mix it up really well. We're all eager to

394
00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:00,520
Speaker 1: see him get healthy. All right, so is the guy

395
00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:04,000
Speaker 1: Jay Prosh is the fullback, And you're do we have

396
00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:06,120
Speaker 1: to pick the old line. Let's do it. Let's say

397
00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:08,840
Speaker 1: that for the end wide receiver wide receiver. Yeah, I

398
00:18:08,840 --> 00:18:12,840
Speaker 1: think we got that. Yeah, yeah, when they go three

399
00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:16,360
Speaker 1: wide receiver sets, Bruce, I'll go Bruce right now. Yeah,

400
00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:18,240
Speaker 1: I think Bruce right now. You know, coaches on the

401
00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:20,760
Speaker 1: roster now, and he'll be interesting. And Braxton Millerstone on

402
00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:23,399
Speaker 1: the roster. Tyler Irvin's coming back. Yeah, it's gonna be

403
00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:26,040
Speaker 1: very interesting at wide at wide receiver, and I say

404
00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:28,440
Speaker 1: Irvin with wide receivers, he can go to the running

405
00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:32,119
Speaker 1: back position, he can go the into the slot. There

406
00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:33,679
Speaker 1: are a lot of different things you can do with Tyler.

407
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:35,760
Speaker 1: I think there's some packages you can have Tyler and

408
00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:38,320
Speaker 1: Bruce on the field, right, So there's some different things

409
00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:40,320
Speaker 1: you can do. I just like the verstilious packages. But

410
00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:43,480
Speaker 1: it's Will, it's DeAndre. Number three receiver, I think would

411
00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:45,520
Speaker 1: have to be Bruce, Ryan Griffin at Steven Anderson your

412
00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:47,679
Speaker 1: tight ends. So we'll see what you know, kind of

413
00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:49,960
Speaker 1: personnel you come out in. All right, let's go to

414
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:51,879
Speaker 1: the defense. All right, Carnac, let's go to the No,

415
00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:53,879
Speaker 1: let's gonna be offensive line, so we're not gonna over

416
00:18:53,880 --> 00:18:55,520
Speaker 1: to the defense. I thought you want to do very last.

417
00:18:55,560 --> 00:18:57,760
Speaker 1: All right, let's so let's go the offensive line. Now,

418
00:18:57,960 --> 00:19:00,000
Speaker 1: Nick Martin at center. I'll start in the middle. Oh,

419
00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:03,120
Speaker 1: come on, why that's the easiest ball. But I don't

420
00:19:03,119 --> 00:19:08,520
Speaker 1: know that's the easiest big Next, Okay, I'll put Zach

421
00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:10,960
Speaker 1: Fulton left guard. All right, go, all right, you'll put

422
00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:13,040
Speaker 1: Zach fold and left guard. Do I have to work

423
00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:17,760
Speaker 1: from the inside, though, you picky? I think, all right, right, tackle,

424
00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:20,520
Speaker 1: I'm thinking it's gonna be very tough for Newton to

425
00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:24,119
Speaker 1: come back, especially early. I'm gonna say, Seantrelle Henderson finds

426
00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:27,320
Speaker 1: a way to solidify right tackle for this football team,

427
00:19:27,359 --> 00:19:29,720
Speaker 1: So you're gonna put Julian over at left tackle. I

428
00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:31,080
Speaker 1: think I have to do that. That's what I want.

429
00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:33,320
Speaker 1: I mean, I said, if they played this weekend, presuming

430
00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:35,680
Speaker 1: health and everything, yeah, I have to put Davenport in

431
00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:38,400
Speaker 1: there right now. They'll come up with other options at

432
00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:40,480
Speaker 1: the very least, if not somebody who wins the job

433
00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:43,399
Speaker 1: out right, But right now it's Julian Davenport. I mean,

434
00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:44,760
Speaker 1: you have nowhere else to go. Really. I mean, if

435
00:19:44,800 --> 00:19:47,000
Speaker 1: Jeff Allen still on the roster, he could play some

436
00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:49,160
Speaker 1: left tackle. He's done it, but it's not like, oh

437
00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:50,960
Speaker 1: my gosh, he's a pro bowler the first time he

438
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:53,480
Speaker 1: gets in there. I think you gotta go with Davenport. Yeah,

439
00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:57,159
Speaker 1: I think Davenport left tackle, Fultonet left guard, Martinet center

440
00:19:57,640 --> 00:20:00,879
Speaker 1: right guard, Jeff Allen unless something happens there. But I

441
00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:03,800
Speaker 1: think it's gonna be Alan Kellamette at right guard, and

442
00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:05,879
Speaker 1: then it's going to be at right tackle. I think

443
00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:09,160
Speaker 1: Sean Trows. I think that's right now I feel like,

444
00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:13,320
Speaker 1: you know, Derek Newton is coming back. I feel like

445
00:20:13,359 --> 00:20:15,600
Speaker 1: Derek's got to be on his offensive line. It's some way,

446
00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:17,760
Speaker 1: shape or form. Is he a guard or is he attack?

447
00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:19,840
Speaker 1: That's I've said all along. He might end up he

448
00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:21,879
Speaker 1: might end up being best served at guard, but so

449
00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:23,760
Speaker 1: he might be a right guard. Fulton's your left guard,

450
00:20:23,840 --> 00:20:27,080
Speaker 1: Martin's your center, and now the other Now you have

451
00:20:27,320 --> 00:20:30,879
Speaker 1: Kellamette right, you have Jeff Allen still and you have

452
00:20:30,920 --> 00:20:33,560
Speaker 1: Greg mans around who has got to be your backup center, right,

453
00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:36,120
Speaker 1: although Fulton could also do it in a page. Yeah,

454
00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:38,280
Speaker 1: so we'll see how they handle that. Let me ask

455
00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:41,040
Speaker 1: you this though, it's there are depth now now and

456
00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:44,080
Speaker 1: we haven't even mentioned Kyle Fuller, who as a rookie

457
00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:45,840
Speaker 1: last year got on the field in the tight end role.

458
00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:48,040
Speaker 1: Now I think he's got to take he's got to

459
00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:50,280
Speaker 1: take a step. If he takes a step up, he

460
00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:52,760
Speaker 1: gets in the conversation to compete for a starting job.

461
00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:55,400
Speaker 1: But I feel all these guards now, well, like all

462
00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:57,680
Speaker 1: these people who can play guard, you need some tackle out,

463
00:20:57,920 --> 00:20:59,800
Speaker 1: It's no question you And I think that's where that

464
00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:04,760
Speaker 1: a strategy now goes to finding young tackles I might's

465
00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:06,680
Speaker 1: draft two or three of them. Know, there's no question,

466
00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:11,240
Speaker 1: you're definitely drafting one, maybe two, and an undrafted free

467
00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:13,359
Speaker 1: agent or two. Remember that year they had Whitsman and

468
00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:15,679
Speaker 1: all these guys in year an undrafted free agent, just

469
00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:17,520
Speaker 1: to see what you can get. And WIT's been starting

470
00:21:17,520 --> 00:21:19,280
Speaker 1: now at guard for Kansas City. I think that was

471
00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:21,080
Speaker 1: the year they brought in Man's two. If I'm yea,

472
00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:23,119
Speaker 1: it was it was that year that it's been starting

473
00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:25,439
Speaker 1: at guard for Kansas City. Is he's starting a Kansas

474
00:21:25,480 --> 00:21:27,600
Speaker 1: freaking City. I think you're right. I think they've I

475
00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:30,879
Speaker 1: think Martin, the draft strategy becomes finding a true tackle,

476
00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:33,200
Speaker 1: a guy that really could only play tackle, and then

477
00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:37,520
Speaker 1: possibly finding a maybe a guard tackle combo. You know,

478
00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:42,320
Speaker 1: a guy like as they win early in his career

479
00:21:42,359 --> 00:21:44,280
Speaker 1: and the right a guy that a guy that could

480
00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:48,040
Speaker 1: play either of those positions, guard or tackle, but he's

481
00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:50,480
Speaker 1: a really good athlete. You're not sure which one he plays,

482
00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:52,320
Speaker 1: but you gotta just get him here and try it out.

483
00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:55,200
Speaker 1: I just think from a depth perspective, by adding those

484
00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:58,240
Speaker 1: three guys in Sea Troll Henderson and Senio Kilomete and

485
00:21:58,520 --> 00:22:01,720
Speaker 1: Zach Fulton, you've and then you throw in Derek Newton,

486
00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:05,960
Speaker 1: who he's almost like a new player. About Quisinberry and

487
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:08,359
Speaker 1: then David Quisinberry you mentioned him a little bit, but

488
00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:12,960
Speaker 1: you got Quizzines. Well, what about QUIZI a tackle? No, way, No,

489
00:22:13,040 --> 00:22:15,480
Speaker 1: At this stage, I don't think it's out of the question,

490
00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:18,560
Speaker 1: but I think he's probably a better suited to be

491
00:22:18,920 --> 00:22:21,040
Speaker 1: at guard. Yeah, and he's always said he wanted to

492
00:22:21,040 --> 00:22:22,919
Speaker 1: play guard, right all right, now, let me ask you

493
00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:25,840
Speaker 1: about this because Colvin, Aaron Colvin comes in here and

494
00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:28,320
Speaker 1: he's a nickel corner, but he's talking about playing outside.

495
00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:30,320
Speaker 1: It's like, don't just label me. He didn't say it

496
00:22:30,359 --> 00:22:32,720
Speaker 1: like this. I'm paraphrasing, but it sounded like he didn't

497
00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:34,520
Speaker 1: want to be labeled as as a slack guy, that

498
00:22:34,600 --> 00:22:37,119
Speaker 1: he wanted to play outside, which is maybe exactly what

499
00:22:37,119 --> 00:22:39,720
Speaker 1: they talked to him about, although no one's intimating that yet.

500
00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:42,800
Speaker 1: Let me ask you, Sean Trelle Henderson comes in here

501
00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:45,359
Speaker 1: and he's like, right tackle. You know, he's not saying

502
00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:46,840
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be in the left tackle. I want to

503
00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:48,920
Speaker 1: be a left tackle. You get the feeling that they've

504
00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:50,960
Speaker 1: told him that he should be a right tackle, or

505
00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:53,640
Speaker 1: he's projecting to be one for them, although I could

506
00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:56,320
Speaker 1: be making all this up. I don't know. I mean,

507
00:22:56,359 --> 00:22:59,560
Speaker 1: if he's completely healthy and you know, the crone's disease

508
00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:02,040
Speaker 1: were covers behind him or at least maintained or whatever,

509
00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:04,280
Speaker 1: maybe there's a shot over there. We'll see how they

510
00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:06,960
Speaker 1: handle it. But it's certainly a big question mark on

511
00:23:07,040 --> 00:23:09,320
Speaker 1: this football team right now, the spot of left tackle.

512
00:23:09,400 --> 00:23:11,479
Speaker 1: They've got to address it. And I'm not saying they

513
00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:14,480
Speaker 1: have to do it for us today, but there's a

514
00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:16,240
Speaker 1: long term sort of plan and we'll see how it

515
00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:18,320
Speaker 1: plays out. You obviously have to do what's best for

516
00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:21,080
Speaker 1: the Texans organization, there's no doubt, and I think Seantrelle

517
00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:23,480
Speaker 1: Henderson would do whatever it's best for the Texas organization.

518
00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:27,280
Speaker 1: But to me, coming off of what Shantreille has dealt with,

519
00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:31,119
Speaker 1: he might be better served just by staying as a

520
00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:33,960
Speaker 1: right tackle, no matter what happens, just staying over that

521
00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:36,720
Speaker 1: right tackle. I think he's more comfortable on that side,

522
00:23:36,760 --> 00:23:38,560
Speaker 1: and talking to him that I got that feeling that

523
00:23:38,600 --> 00:23:40,719
Speaker 1: he's more comfortable over there on the right side, and

524
00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:43,000
Speaker 1: I get the impression that Julian and Davenport is more

525
00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:46,080
Speaker 1: comfortable on the left side. And I know comfort doesn't

526
00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:49,120
Speaker 1: always play to this, but I think sometimes it does.

527
00:23:49,160 --> 00:23:51,159
Speaker 1: I think Julione could give you some good football at

528
00:23:51,160 --> 00:23:53,280
Speaker 1: a place where he's comfortable. When a guy's coming from

529
00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:56,879
Speaker 1: buck Nell and he's playing VMI and Lehigh and Lafayette

530
00:23:57,920 --> 00:24:01,480
Speaker 1: speed Demons rushers, Yeah, you want to be comfortable. You

531
00:24:01,480 --> 00:24:03,240
Speaker 1: want to know where your feet are supposed to be.

532
00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:05,240
Speaker 1: And he's a pretty good if he takes the year

533
00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:07,280
Speaker 1: one year two jump, I think Juliana ends up being

534
00:24:07,280 --> 00:24:11,840
Speaker 1: a factor left tackle. I do think drafting to to

535
00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:14,280
Speaker 1: your point, I think it's gonna be a tackle. I

536
00:24:14,280 --> 00:24:16,520
Speaker 1: think it's gonna be a guard tackle, Highbury kind of guy.

537
00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:18,240
Speaker 1: And I think there's gonna end up being three guys.

538
00:24:18,280 --> 00:24:20,359
Speaker 1: I think they will draft three offensive lineman. I think

539
00:24:20,440 --> 00:24:23,560
Speaker 1: they'll draft two or three defensive backs. I feel like

540
00:24:23,600 --> 00:24:28,200
Speaker 1: the versatility they've gotten with Colvin and Matthew. I don't

541
00:24:28,240 --> 00:24:30,760
Speaker 1: want to say takes away a draft pick, but I

542
00:24:30,800 --> 00:24:34,840
Speaker 1: think it reduces the need for another corner to be

543
00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:37,280
Speaker 1: added into that mix. If that makes sense, we'll see,

544
00:24:37,320 --> 00:24:39,120
Speaker 1: but it all depends. I think they'll still draft two.

545
00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:41,920
Speaker 1: They'll still draft two. Really, I still think they'll draft

546
00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:44,120
Speaker 1: Okay absolutely. Let's go to defense here. Okay, since you're

547
00:24:44,119 --> 00:24:46,919
Speaker 1: on the subject, all right, we'll start on the line though. Okay, okay,

548
00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:50,960
Speaker 1: So DJ Reader what and Clowning? I mean that's pretty

549
00:24:50,960 --> 00:24:53,359
Speaker 1: Oh so you're gonna go outside linebacker Clowney not I

550
00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:56,080
Speaker 1: mean defensive end Clowny, not outside linebacker Clowney. Well, yeah,

551
00:24:56,080 --> 00:24:58,160
Speaker 1: when we get the outside linebacker up, put Clowny there too,

552
00:24:58,600 --> 00:25:00,560
Speaker 1: and we got the inside linebacker up him there too,

553
00:25:00,600 --> 00:25:03,280
Speaker 1: because that's where I'm gonna play him. I think that's

554
00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:05,840
Speaker 1: That's the funny thing. Mark, I've thought about this, like,

555
00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:09,600
Speaker 1: you know, each and every each and every game, you

556
00:25:09,680 --> 00:25:12,600
Speaker 1: go through the starting lineups and you rip it up.

557
00:25:12,680 --> 00:25:15,760
Speaker 1: You know, here's you started start like that? Never never

558
00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:17,600
Speaker 1: start like I mean, that's why I've started to say, Wow,

559
00:25:17,640 --> 00:25:19,800
Speaker 1: they're also gonna throw in this guy that guy because

560
00:25:19,800 --> 00:25:21,840
Speaker 1: they might open a nickel. Maybe they open a dime.

561
00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:25,920
Speaker 1: I don't know. I do think that you're starting eleven matters.

562
00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:30,800
Speaker 1: I think the starting if you what what, and then

563
00:25:31,080 --> 00:25:35,680
Speaker 1: Reader and Clowney and then Merciless and if they're gonna play,

564
00:25:35,720 --> 00:25:38,080
Speaker 1: if they're gonna start a nickel, those would be your front.

565
00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:40,360
Speaker 1: That would be your front. Four, and then you've got

566
00:25:40,480 --> 00:25:44,040
Speaker 1: zach and and Bernardrick inside doing Cole would end up

567
00:25:44,080 --> 00:25:47,040
Speaker 1: being your your chess piece at linebacker, and then your

568
00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:52,080
Speaker 1: nickel ends up being I think Colvin outside, Kevin Johnson outside,

569
00:25:52,840 --> 00:25:58,479
Speaker 1: Matthew and how safety and Cream Jackson inside or Matthew

570
00:25:58,520 --> 00:26:01,120
Speaker 1: bumps down a cream bumps the safety. However you want

571
00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:03,720
Speaker 1: to make hes not even in there right now. I

572
00:26:03,760 --> 00:26:08,160
Speaker 1: didn't put JJ well, well, we talked about this yesterday though.

573
00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:12,320
Speaker 1: If you go nickel and everybody's healthy one, you have

574
00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:15,120
Speaker 1: six guys that would be in that mix. There would

575
00:26:15,160 --> 00:26:19,680
Speaker 1: be Jonathan Joseph, Kareem Jackson, Kevin Johnson, Tyrn, Matthew, Andre

576
00:26:19,840 --> 00:26:23,720
Speaker 1: Howe and and Aaron Colvin. That's six. So somebody's getting

577
00:26:23,800 --> 00:26:26,680
Speaker 1: voted off the island and a Nickel scenario, that's a name,

578
00:26:26,760 --> 00:26:29,119
Speaker 1: you know, is it Andre Howe? Is it Kareem Jackson?

579
00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:32,040
Speaker 1: I don't know who it is. Health will probably solve

580
00:26:32,119 --> 00:26:34,280
Speaker 1: that problem, so to speak. And I say that a lot,

581
00:26:34,560 --> 00:26:37,320
Speaker 1: but it's a really good problem to have. If everybody's

582
00:26:37,560 --> 00:26:39,920
Speaker 1: upright and out of the trainer's room, Yeah, there's no doubt.

583
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:42,159
Speaker 1: And I think of those six, I think you end

584
00:26:42,240 --> 00:26:45,399
Speaker 1: up finding a defensive back in this draft that's gonna

585
00:26:45,520 --> 00:26:47,960
Speaker 1: that's gonna work his way into that that six guys

586
00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:50,960
Speaker 1: you talk about, as we didn't mention Corey Moore of

587
00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:53,399
Speaker 1: course coming off the injury, and Corey's had some good moments.

588
00:26:53,440 --> 00:26:55,760
Speaker 1: They've got to be more consistent moments. But I think

589
00:26:56,480 --> 00:27:00,359
Speaker 1: defensive back. If the if they play this weekend, Snario

590
00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:03,720
Speaker 1: comes into play, Corey Moore's on this football team and

591
00:27:03,760 --> 00:27:08,119
Speaker 1: he's there's no question wise, and there's some things you

592
00:27:08,119 --> 00:27:10,560
Speaker 1: can do with Corey. I wouldn't be surprised if you know,

593
00:27:10,560 --> 00:27:12,719
Speaker 1: when they go dime, which a lot of times they

594
00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:15,360
Speaker 1: put Dylan Cole in there. Man, are there ways that

595
00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:22,840
Speaker 1: maybe you take Reader off the field in dime, you

596
00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:26,439
Speaker 1: bump b mack down, you play Zack and Dillon together,

597
00:27:26,680 --> 00:27:30,000
Speaker 1: or you play Zach and Tyron Matthew Well, Zach and

598
00:27:30,040 --> 00:27:33,040
Speaker 1: Dillon together combined with everything else that you were talking about, Yeah,

599
00:27:33,160 --> 00:27:36,160
Speaker 1: that's a heck of a coverage. You can cover everybody,

600
00:27:36,160 --> 00:27:38,280
Speaker 1: and then you've got those You've got those three guys

601
00:27:38,359 --> 00:27:42,000
Speaker 1: rushing and wob hurt, says McKinney. And then beyond that,

602
00:27:42,280 --> 00:27:45,320
Speaker 1: you know, as I mentioned earlier, you're Tyron Matthew who

603
00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:48,000
Speaker 1: ends up being the ultimate chess piece when you go

604
00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:50,080
Speaker 1: nickel or diamond. I think that's the piece to me

605
00:27:50,080 --> 00:27:53,359
Speaker 1: where Romeo Cornell says, okay, watch this, I can take

606
00:27:53,480 --> 00:27:56,560
Speaker 1: him and he becomes all right, you're now as a

607
00:27:56,600 --> 00:27:59,879
Speaker 1: stand up rusher on display. Now you're gonna play uh,

608
00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:04,160
Speaker 1: You're gonna play the the dime linebacker, jack linebacker. You're

609
00:28:04,160 --> 00:28:06,600
Speaker 1: gonna end up playing the slot on this one, and

610
00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:09,160
Speaker 1: you move him around and you're never gonna know where

611
00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:12,240
Speaker 1: he's coming from, which I think is I think that's fantastic.

612
00:28:12,600 --> 00:28:14,600
Speaker 1: But the fact that you can take Colvin and Matthew

613
00:28:15,200 --> 00:28:17,760
Speaker 1: and you can play them on the inside. You can

614
00:28:17,800 --> 00:28:20,800
Speaker 1: play Colvin outside. You wouldn't play Tyron outside. That's those

615
00:28:20,840 --> 00:28:23,199
Speaker 1: those days. I think of him playing corner. Even at

616
00:28:23,280 --> 00:28:25,679
Speaker 1: LSU they were over, he was moving inside when they

617
00:28:25,680 --> 00:28:30,680
Speaker 1: had play. So I think it just become it becomes

618
00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:33,800
Speaker 1: really interesting when you go to your Nickel and dime,

619
00:28:34,280 --> 00:28:38,680
Speaker 1: because which which guys are Which guys are you saying

620
00:28:38,760 --> 00:28:41,800
Speaker 1: you're keeping off the field and nickel and dime, I mean,

621
00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:43,440
Speaker 1: are you gonna are you gonna have to get to

622
00:28:43,480 --> 00:28:46,160
Speaker 1: a point where you have to take reader off the field,

623
00:28:46,200 --> 00:28:49,680
Speaker 1: which makes sense. And then are you gonna have to

624
00:28:49,720 --> 00:28:52,120
Speaker 1: take like, who else do you take off? I mean,

625
00:28:52,120 --> 00:28:56,080
Speaker 1: because you can rush with b Mac, you can you

626
00:28:56,120 --> 00:28:58,720
Speaker 1: can rush with Tyron Matthew, you can rush with cutting

627
00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:00,920
Speaker 1: him even. I mean, who do you take off the

628
00:29:00,960 --> 00:29:03,000
Speaker 1: field when you're in Nickel? I think and you just

629
00:29:03,040 --> 00:29:05,080
Speaker 1: said the name Cunningham. Well be talking an hour about

630
00:29:05,120 --> 00:29:06,840
Speaker 1: Cunningham and what he could do for this defense in

631
00:29:06,920 --> 00:29:09,280
Speaker 1: year two now that he understands the whole system and everything.

632
00:29:09,280 --> 00:29:10,680
Speaker 1: And then you put a guy like Honey Badger on

633
00:29:10,760 --> 00:29:12,560
Speaker 1: the field and all those young guys they kind of

634
00:29:12,600 --> 00:29:14,840
Speaker 1: worship him. I mean, this is going to be a

635
00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:18,280
Speaker 1: really nice situation potentially. You just want to see everybody

636
00:29:18,320 --> 00:29:20,640
Speaker 1: healthy and everybody a part of it. All. Right, coming up,

637
00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:23,600
Speaker 1: Johnny's gonna stay with us. We'll talk to Zach Fulton,

638
00:29:23,760 --> 00:29:27,360
Speaker 1: new Texans Guard Center. What is he will discuss it

639
00:29:27,400 --> 00:29:30,840
Speaker 1: with him, the former chief and some stuff going out

640
00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:32,760
Speaker 1: at the owners meetings that they're gonna be talking about,

641
00:29:32,840 --> 00:29:37,200
Speaker 1: including NFL scheduling. Let's discuss that on Texans Radio. Well,

642
00:29:37,360 --> 00:29:39,400
Speaker 1: this man and welcome back to the show. By the way,

643
00:29:39,400 --> 00:29:42,080
Speaker 1: Texans All Access here in the Hunday Texans Radio Studio

644
00:29:42,240 --> 00:29:44,840
Speaker 1: signed last week with the Texans. He plays guard, he

645
00:29:44,920 --> 00:29:48,440
Speaker 1: plays center. He played for the Kansas City Chiefs and

646
00:29:48,600 --> 00:29:52,080
Speaker 1: the University of Tennessee. He's Zach Fulton, and he does

647
00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:55,040
Speaker 1: know this building. He knows this situation because the Chiefs

648
00:29:55,160 --> 00:29:59,520
Speaker 1: have been an unofficial part of the Texans Division opponent schedule,

649
00:30:00,320 --> 00:30:03,200
Speaker 1: if you catch my drift, in recent years. But Fulton

650
00:30:03,360 --> 00:30:06,080
Speaker 1: visited with us right here and talked about being an

651
00:30:06,160 --> 00:30:09,840
Speaker 1: NRG stadium. How's it going, Zach, Welcome to Houston. Great,

652
00:30:09,840 --> 00:30:11,560
Speaker 1: Thank you very much, glad to be here. It's not

653
00:30:11,600 --> 00:30:14,280
Speaker 1: like you haven't been here before. In fact, you've been

654
00:30:14,360 --> 00:30:16,880
Speaker 1: the enemy, okay, but now you're now you're with the

655
00:30:16,960 --> 00:30:19,440
Speaker 1: good guys. So that's gonna be a strange transition going

656
00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:21,520
Speaker 1: from one team to another, especially when you have experience

657
00:30:21,560 --> 00:30:23,520
Speaker 1: playing in this building, right, But you know it's definitely

658
00:30:23,520 --> 00:30:26,120
Speaker 1: it was an easy decision to make. It's a great stadium,

659
00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:28,920
Speaker 1: so I'm excited to play there. Okay. I went back

660
00:30:28,960 --> 00:30:31,840
Speaker 1: and looked at those four games. One game you played guard,

661
00:30:31,920 --> 00:30:33,960
Speaker 1: one game you played center, one game you played guard,

662
00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:37,000
Speaker 1: one game you played center. What position will you play

663
00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:39,800
Speaker 1: for the Houston Texans and which one do you want

664
00:30:39,800 --> 00:30:42,800
Speaker 1: to play? Well, it's gonna be up to the coach's decision,

665
00:30:42,840 --> 00:30:46,320
Speaker 1: you know, ultimately, But I'm fine playing whatever your position

666
00:30:46,320 --> 00:30:48,000
Speaker 1: they want me to play. So I know, primarily five

667
00:30:48,080 --> 00:30:50,120
Speaker 1: start off a guard and then we'll go from there.

668
00:30:50,280 --> 00:30:53,400
Speaker 1: Because you didn't play center in college, you were strictly

669
00:30:53,480 --> 00:30:55,680
Speaker 1: right guard at Tennessee forty starts there at right guard.

670
00:30:55,680 --> 00:30:57,560
Speaker 1: You were strictly at guard. How tough was that to

671
00:30:57,640 --> 00:31:00,400
Speaker 1: learn a center position. Honestly, it wasn't that tough. It's

672
00:31:00,440 --> 00:31:02,360
Speaker 1: pretty the same techniques, you know, just you have to

673
00:31:02,360 --> 00:31:03,880
Speaker 1: snap the ball and they're only a little bit quicker.

674
00:31:03,960 --> 00:31:06,000
Speaker 1: But other than that, it wasn't you know, that tough.

675
00:31:06,040 --> 00:31:07,720
Speaker 1: I was pretty familiar with the playbook, you know, go

676
00:31:07,800 --> 00:31:09,640
Speaker 1: into my second year in Kansas City, So it's a

677
00:31:09,640 --> 00:31:11,760
Speaker 1: pretty easy transition, Zach. When you're trying to make one

678
00:31:11,800 --> 00:31:13,800
Speaker 1: of these decisions on where you're gonna play, I mean,

679
00:31:13,840 --> 00:31:16,080
Speaker 1: I know, it's professional sports. You get compensated. You want

680
00:31:16,120 --> 00:31:18,760
Speaker 1: the best possible compensation. But also what about fit in

681
00:31:18,880 --> 00:31:21,280
Speaker 1: terms of scheme or whatever else comes into play? What

682
00:31:21,360 --> 00:31:22,960
Speaker 1: did come into play for you? Well, you have to

683
00:31:23,320 --> 00:31:25,840
Speaker 1: put into play the concept of the playbook, you know,

684
00:31:25,880 --> 00:31:27,760
Speaker 1: how they run their offense and things like that. So

685
00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:29,959
Speaker 1: I think this offense definitely suited my style as far

686
00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:32,120
Speaker 1: as you know, being a powerful run blocking guy. So

687
00:31:32,160 --> 00:31:34,200
Speaker 1: I think that you know, came into play for in

688
00:31:34,240 --> 00:31:37,280
Speaker 1: my favor. A lot of fans will not know one

689
00:31:37,320 --> 00:31:40,719
Speaker 1: thing about what offensive lineman does, which nobody should take

690
00:31:40,760 --> 00:31:43,160
Speaker 1: offense to that. But for Texans fans that want to

691
00:31:43,200 --> 00:31:46,120
Speaker 1: know about you, what would you tell them your strengths are,

692
00:31:46,240 --> 00:31:48,840
Speaker 1: what kind of player that Texans are getting right now

693
00:31:48,840 --> 00:31:51,200
Speaker 1: and into the future. I'm a competitive player. I play

694
00:31:51,240 --> 00:31:53,440
Speaker 1: intense with a you know, nastiness and the edge about me,

695
00:31:53,480 --> 00:31:55,760
Speaker 1: and I'm just gonna bring everything I get every day.

696
00:31:56,160 --> 00:31:58,720
Speaker 1: What about the offensive lineman, because we always talk about

697
00:31:58,720 --> 00:32:02,200
Speaker 1: what a close position group says and how does that work?

698
00:32:02,240 --> 00:32:04,080
Speaker 1: You think when you come in as the new guy,

699
00:32:04,160 --> 00:32:06,360
Speaker 1: and of course they're gonna accept you with open arms,

700
00:32:06,400 --> 00:32:08,200
Speaker 1: but there will be a whole dynamic there because you

701
00:32:08,200 --> 00:32:10,360
Speaker 1: guys find each other for stuff and everything. It's all

702
00:32:10,360 --> 00:32:12,400
Speaker 1: in good nature. Yeah, it will definitely be a process

703
00:32:12,400 --> 00:32:14,440
Speaker 1: of building chemistry, you know, along with the other guys. So,

704
00:32:14,760 --> 00:32:16,560
Speaker 1: but I'm definitely looking forward to it. You just do

705
00:32:16,680 --> 00:32:19,360
Speaker 1: things like you know, hanging out outside of the field,

706
00:32:19,400 --> 00:32:21,880
Speaker 1: so it's gonna be pretty easy. You'll probably get fined

707
00:32:21,920 --> 00:32:24,520
Speaker 1: for this interview, by the way, Yeah, yeah, it'll come

708
00:32:24,520 --> 00:32:26,560
Speaker 1: out of our budget, I'm sure. And one of the

709
00:32:26,560 --> 00:32:29,000
Speaker 1: guys that has made that transition that you did from

710
00:32:29,080 --> 00:32:30,880
Speaker 1: Kansas City to here is Jeff Outen. If you had

711
00:32:30,880 --> 00:32:32,560
Speaker 1: a chance to talk to Jeff and what did he

712
00:32:32,640 --> 00:32:35,080
Speaker 1: to relate to you about the Houston experience. Um. I

713
00:32:35,120 --> 00:32:36,600
Speaker 1: talked to Jeff a little bit. Um. He just told

714
00:32:36,640 --> 00:32:39,240
Speaker 1: me this a great organization and you know how fun

715
00:32:39,320 --> 00:32:42,040
Speaker 1: being here. When you get into the free agent process,

716
00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:44,719
Speaker 1: was that nerve racking at all for you? Were you

717
00:32:44,800 --> 00:32:47,920
Speaker 1: kind of nervous or was it I'm just gonna kind

718
00:32:47,920 --> 00:32:50,440
Speaker 1: of let the cards play out the way they're gonna

719
00:32:50,440 --> 00:32:53,040
Speaker 1: play out. What how was that going through that process?

720
00:32:53,200 --> 00:32:55,640
Speaker 1: Any nervousness to it at all? Honestly, I was a

721
00:32:55,680 --> 00:32:57,280
Speaker 1: little bit of everything. You know. I was a little

722
00:32:57,280 --> 00:32:59,160
Speaker 1: bit nervous because I wasn't reached where where I was

723
00:32:59,200 --> 00:33:02,080
Speaker 1: going at all. So I took time off and well,

724
00:33:02,080 --> 00:33:04,080
Speaker 1: I took time off and I went to Florida to

725
00:33:04,200 --> 00:33:06,120
Speaker 1: train for a whole month, you know, picked up and

726
00:33:06,240 --> 00:33:07,680
Speaker 1: you know it's trained down there, for a month and

727
00:33:07,920 --> 00:33:09,440
Speaker 1: I was kind of like my agent, you know, do

728
00:33:09,600 --> 00:33:12,120
Speaker 1: his job, and I just sat back and trained, and

729
00:33:12,200 --> 00:33:14,520
Speaker 1: you know, everything got handed the right way. Zack Fulton

730
00:33:14,600 --> 00:33:17,480
Speaker 1: joining us on Texans Radio here on the Hyunday Texans

731
00:33:17,560 --> 00:33:19,880
Speaker 1: Radio studio. So when you look at the game you

732
00:33:19,960 --> 00:33:22,520
Speaker 1: had with the Texans this past season, it was a

733
00:33:22,560 --> 00:33:24,600
Speaker 1: weird game because you guys got the big lead. You

734
00:33:24,640 --> 00:33:26,960
Speaker 1: had two defensive players, so the Texans injured on that

735
00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:30,080
Speaker 1: first series and then Deshaun Watson keeps the Texans in

736
00:33:30,160 --> 00:33:31,880
Speaker 1: the game. What do you think of his play? And

737
00:33:31,960 --> 00:33:34,120
Speaker 1: I know we brought it up before, but it's got

738
00:33:34,120 --> 00:33:36,000
Speaker 1: to be strange to be on his side right now

739
00:33:36,080 --> 00:33:37,680
Speaker 1: after seeing a game like that, or being in a

740
00:33:37,720 --> 00:33:39,680
Speaker 1: game like Yeah, it was a very interesting game. We

741
00:33:39,680 --> 00:33:41,400
Speaker 1: were up and you know, honestly, you know, to speak,

742
00:33:41,760 --> 00:33:44,200
Speaker 1: you know, value to this defensive line, we weren't really

743
00:33:44,200 --> 00:33:47,160
Speaker 1: doing anything until you know, JJ went down and Merciless

744
00:33:47,160 --> 00:33:49,000
Speaker 1: went down. The end we started kind of started moving

745
00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:51,239
Speaker 1: the ball. But you know, to play, you know, with

746
00:33:51,320 --> 00:33:53,520
Speaker 1: the Shawn, it's gonna be very interesting experience and he's

747
00:33:53,520 --> 00:33:55,120
Speaker 1: a great player. He's got a bright future ahead of him,

748
00:33:55,160 --> 00:33:57,200
Speaker 1: and it's gonna be definitely fun, Zach. Playing in that

749
00:33:57,240 --> 00:33:59,280
Speaker 1: offense in Kansas City, you guys, over the last couple

750
00:33:59,280 --> 00:34:02,000
Speaker 1: of years without the personnel that you had there, you

751
00:34:02,040 --> 00:34:03,880
Speaker 1: guys did some of the things that you're gonna do.

752
00:34:03,920 --> 00:34:06,920
Speaker 1: I would imagine with the Sean, how valuable do you

753
00:34:06,920 --> 00:34:08,480
Speaker 1: think it was that you were in sort of a

754
00:34:08,520 --> 00:34:10,279
Speaker 1: scheme that the Texans could look at and see how

755
00:34:10,320 --> 00:34:12,919
Speaker 1: you fit a you going forward in their scheme. That's

756
00:34:13,040 --> 00:34:15,440
Speaker 1: definitely valuable. You know, they want to compare what I

757
00:34:15,440 --> 00:34:18,239
Speaker 1: could do versus what their system is like. So it

758
00:34:18,280 --> 00:34:21,000
Speaker 1: was easy decision for them to contact me and for

759
00:34:21,080 --> 00:34:22,839
Speaker 1: me to device versa do the same. So it's gonna

760
00:34:22,840 --> 00:34:24,879
Speaker 1: be pretty easy to make that transition, all right, Zack,

761
00:34:24,920 --> 00:34:28,320
Speaker 1: thanks all for joining us. Congratulations thing very much. Zach Fulton,

762
00:34:28,440 --> 00:34:31,799
Speaker 1: former chief current Texan. Okay, Johnny, let's get to some

763
00:34:31,840 --> 00:34:34,480
Speaker 1: stuff happening around the National Football League now that they'll

764
00:34:34,520 --> 00:34:37,920
Speaker 1: be talking about next week at the NFL meetings in Orlando.

765
00:34:37,960 --> 00:34:40,200
Speaker 1: I'll be out there. We'll have this program originating from

766
00:34:40,200 --> 00:34:42,200
Speaker 1: out there. That's gonna be fun. We'll catch up with

767
00:34:42,200 --> 00:34:45,080
Speaker 1: Bill O'Brien Brian Gaine out there, and O'Brien's gonna do

768
00:34:45,080 --> 00:34:47,239
Speaker 1: an hour long session with the media. You'll catch it

769
00:34:47,320 --> 00:34:50,040
Speaker 1: all on Houston Texans dot com and some of this

770
00:34:50,520 --> 00:34:52,600
Speaker 1: some of the things they'll be discussing, and they'll be

771
00:34:52,640 --> 00:34:56,000
Speaker 1: discussing a lot involved scheduling, especially for West Coast teams.

772
00:34:56,000 --> 00:34:58,880
Speaker 1: This comes into play, right, Yeah, absolutely, here's one and

773
00:34:58,920 --> 00:35:01,239
Speaker 1: I saw this one, and they're there are a few

774
00:35:01,280 --> 00:35:04,680
Speaker 1: that are being proposed, but this one, this comes from

775
00:35:04,719 --> 00:35:07,800
Speaker 1: West Coast teams. And he used to have a buddy

776
00:35:07,800 --> 00:35:08,920
Speaker 1: of us that would come on the air and we

777
00:35:08,960 --> 00:35:11,520
Speaker 1: would ask him how to handicap games many many years ago,

778
00:35:11,520 --> 00:35:13,400
Speaker 1: and he used to have this West coast theory, this

779
00:35:13,640 --> 00:35:16,359
Speaker 1: negative body clock theory, right that when a team came

780
00:35:16,400 --> 00:35:18,200
Speaker 1: from the West Coast and had to play a one

781
00:35:18,200 --> 00:35:21,399
Speaker 1: o'clock game on the East Coast, that was a good

782
00:35:21,400 --> 00:35:24,840
Speaker 1: team to bet against because it's negative they're playing like

783
00:35:24,920 --> 00:35:28,840
Speaker 1: nine o'clock body clock time. So this is one of

784
00:35:28,880 --> 00:35:32,080
Speaker 1: the new buy laws that the Competition Committee will be

785
00:35:32,160 --> 00:35:36,040
Speaker 1: voting on. No team will be scheduled to play more

786
00:35:36,080 --> 00:35:40,400
Speaker 1: than three away games with a scheduled kickoff time prior

787
00:35:40,480 --> 00:35:43,799
Speaker 1: to one pm in the time zone of their home

788
00:35:43,880 --> 00:35:48,000
Speaker 1: stadium without consent. So if you have a situation where

789
00:35:48,040 --> 00:35:51,840
Speaker 1: so they could play three, they could play up to three,

790
00:35:50,680 --> 00:35:54,279
Speaker 1: but not beyond all right, Look, I think I might

791
00:35:54,360 --> 00:35:57,200
Speaker 1: even go to two. Two would be plenty because it's

792
00:35:57,239 --> 00:35:59,880
Speaker 1: tough for them. And sometimes when you look at the

793
00:36:00,080 --> 00:36:03,120
Speaker 1: Raiders or the Seahawks, where when they're playing the AFC East,

794
00:36:03,160 --> 00:36:06,239
Speaker 1: for instance, the FC East that particular year, it gets

795
00:36:06,239 --> 00:36:08,520
Speaker 1: brutal for them. Certain years, I mean sometimes you might

796
00:36:08,520 --> 00:36:11,600
Speaker 1: play both those divisions as your division arsenal. I think

797
00:36:11,719 --> 00:36:14,680
Speaker 1: last year that that was the case. I want to say,

798
00:36:14,920 --> 00:36:16,359
Speaker 1: I think it was either last year the year before.

799
00:36:16,400 --> 00:36:18,319
Speaker 1: The Raiders, like it seems like every week they're playing

800
00:36:18,360 --> 00:36:21,440
Speaker 1: a New and Eastern game or one Eastern game New Central,

801
00:36:21,760 --> 00:36:24,480
Speaker 1: and I think that's got to be brutal. It must be.

802
00:36:24,560 --> 00:36:26,919
Speaker 1: And so that's I think that's a great rule. I mean, look,

803
00:36:26,920 --> 00:36:29,279
Speaker 1: we'll play, we'll give you a few games to play

804
00:36:29,320 --> 00:36:32,040
Speaker 1: at one o'clock Eastern time from the West coast. But

805
00:36:32,080 --> 00:36:36,160
Speaker 1: I think that's I think that's a fantastic rule. And

806
00:36:36,239 --> 00:36:39,520
Speaker 1: I think it's something that absolutely, without question, can even

807
00:36:39,520 --> 00:36:42,239
Speaker 1: the playing field. TV's got to figure it out how

808
00:36:42,239 --> 00:36:44,040
Speaker 1: they're gonna fit all these games in, and of course

809
00:36:44,040 --> 00:36:45,879
Speaker 1: the schedule will be out in April. But I don't

810
00:36:45,880 --> 00:36:47,560
Speaker 1: know if they give us TV times for those other

811
00:36:47,600 --> 00:36:49,400
Speaker 1: than the Sunday night games and Monday night games and

812
00:36:49,400 --> 00:36:51,960
Speaker 1: Thursday night games. I don't know for a fact, But

813
00:36:52,640 --> 00:36:54,640
Speaker 1: figuring out the times for those, I think that's I

814
00:36:54,640 --> 00:36:56,640
Speaker 1: think that's only fair. I think it's only fair to

815
00:36:56,640 --> 00:36:58,960
Speaker 1: see those teams have to deal with that situation. Did

816
00:36:58,960 --> 00:37:01,719
Speaker 1: you see that the opening day matchup likely going to

817
00:37:01,760 --> 00:37:03,719
Speaker 1: be the Eagles? I guess there was a report out

818
00:37:03,719 --> 00:37:06,959
Speaker 1: of Philadelphia from Howard Eskin saying that the Eagles would

819
00:37:06,960 --> 00:37:09,560
Speaker 1: likely play the Vikings in the opener because that was

820
00:37:09,600 --> 00:37:12,480
Speaker 1: an NFC Championship game matchup, but they would rematch that

821
00:37:12,760 --> 00:37:14,879
Speaker 1: for the opener Thursday night. Well, I think the other

822
00:37:15,080 --> 00:37:17,520
Speaker 1: you know, I thought all along that the Eagles Texans game,

823
00:37:17,560 --> 00:37:19,960
Speaker 1: which will be in Philadelphia this year. I always I

824
00:37:20,000 --> 00:37:22,879
Speaker 1: thought all along that would be a primetime game. Wentz Watson, right,

825
00:37:23,040 --> 00:37:25,360
Speaker 1: But you don't know when Wentz is gonna come back,

826
00:37:25,880 --> 00:37:28,279
Speaker 1: and you're not gonna he not ready for opening He

827
00:37:28,360 --> 00:37:30,040
Speaker 1: may not. I mean that was the set was early

828
00:37:30,040 --> 00:37:34,000
Speaker 1: December when he tores acl whereas DeShawn was late October,

829
00:37:34,480 --> 00:37:37,880
Speaker 1: so he had a whole month and some change before

830
00:37:38,560 --> 00:37:41,719
Speaker 1: uh you know, difference between he and went. So that's

831
00:37:41,840 --> 00:37:45,040
Speaker 1: that's a big time period right there. That very much so.

832
00:37:45,040 --> 00:37:48,200
Speaker 1: So I would imagine Carson's gonna be back. I've seen

833
00:37:48,200 --> 00:37:50,200
Speaker 1: some reports toe yeah, yeah, he'll be back. He may

834
00:37:50,200 --> 00:37:52,160
Speaker 1: not be back until training camp, but he'll be He'll

835
00:37:52,200 --> 00:37:54,920
Speaker 1: be back. So I hope that's the case. He's a

836
00:37:55,000 --> 00:37:57,120
Speaker 1: quarterback where the knag just put some duct tape on it.

837
00:37:57,160 --> 00:38:00,960
Speaker 1: But Minnesota would make sense. Kirk Cousins, Yeah, Kirk Cousins.

838
00:38:01,000 --> 00:38:03,200
Speaker 1: I mean, even if it's Foals, I mean, heck, if

839
00:38:03,200 --> 00:38:06,400
Speaker 1: it's Cousins versus Foals, I mean, the Eagles get that perspective.

840
00:38:06,400 --> 00:38:08,600
Speaker 1: The Eagles get it regardless. They're a Super Bowl winner,

841
00:38:08,680 --> 00:38:10,840
Speaker 1: so they get the opening night matchup. But let me

842
00:38:10,840 --> 00:38:13,680
Speaker 1: ask you this, do you want to see a rule

843
00:38:13,719 --> 00:38:15,560
Speaker 1: in place where Thursday night games? And I don't know

844
00:38:15,600 --> 00:38:17,239
Speaker 1: how you do this with some of the West Coast

845
00:38:17,239 --> 00:38:20,960
Speaker 1: teams because the flying distances are greater, but I'd love

846
00:38:21,000 --> 00:38:24,080
Speaker 1: to see the bulk of those be close divisional flights

847
00:38:24,160 --> 00:38:26,840
Speaker 1: or just close flights period, because you could say divisional

848
00:38:26,880 --> 00:38:29,279
Speaker 1: would be convenient, but it's not really in the NFC East,

849
00:38:29,280 --> 00:38:32,120
Speaker 1: for Dallas, which has to travel pretty far to each

850
00:38:32,480 --> 00:38:35,920
Speaker 1: of its divisional opponents. But I want to see close

851
00:38:36,160 --> 00:38:40,319
Speaker 1: road travel situations for the Thursday night opponents. Well I

852
00:38:40,360 --> 00:38:42,640
Speaker 1: got one, but when you said it, it struck me

853
00:38:43,200 --> 00:38:45,120
Speaker 1: Texas played the Cowboys here. Would you want to see

854
00:38:45,120 --> 00:38:49,560
Speaker 1: that on a Thursday night? You know, I've said all along,

855
00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:51,800
Speaker 1: I've said all along, and I think that's gonna be

856
00:38:51,800 --> 00:38:53,640
Speaker 1: a Sunday night game. And I think that's the one

857
00:38:53,680 --> 00:38:56,000
Speaker 1: thing about having to Sean whenever he's got that matchup

858
00:38:56,000 --> 00:38:58,479
Speaker 1: with the quarterback, whether it's Deshaun versus Brady, de Shaun

859
00:38:58,560 --> 00:39:03,320
Speaker 1: versus Wins, you know, de Shaun versus dak Houston versus Dallas,

860
00:39:03,719 --> 00:39:05,600
Speaker 1: I would think that's got to be a Sunday night game.

861
00:39:06,160 --> 00:39:08,640
Speaker 1: But it's a short trip. It's a short trip for

862
00:39:08,640 --> 00:39:11,680
Speaker 1: the Cowboys, whereas I don't know what they've done on

863
00:39:11,680 --> 00:39:13,439
Speaker 1: a Thursday night, But you're right, most of the trips

864
00:39:13,480 --> 00:39:16,440
Speaker 1: they got to take to the East Philly, Washington, or

865
00:39:16,520 --> 00:39:18,839
Speaker 1: to the Giants. That's a pretty long trip that they're

866
00:39:18,840 --> 00:39:20,640
Speaker 1: playing on a Thursday night. It's so funny. I mean,

867
00:39:20,680 --> 00:39:22,920
Speaker 1: why they play Minnesota on a Thursday night in sixteen?

868
00:39:23,320 --> 00:39:25,279
Speaker 1: Why wouldn't you want to see that on a Thursday night.

869
00:39:25,280 --> 00:39:28,080
Speaker 1: It's a primetime game, a weeknight game. For the fans,

870
00:39:28,120 --> 00:39:30,360
Speaker 1: everybody would be pumped up out of their minds to

871
00:39:30,400 --> 00:39:33,040
Speaker 1: see that matchup. Everyone would take Thursday and Friday off.

872
00:39:33,040 --> 00:39:37,440
Speaker 1: Are you kidding? Dallas, Houston and Houston. But for the players,

873
00:39:37,440 --> 00:39:39,560
Speaker 1: it's not ideal. But you know, if you say, well, no,

874
00:39:39,600 --> 00:39:42,440
Speaker 1: give me another one. You're at home, folks, which is

875
00:39:42,480 --> 00:39:43,960
Speaker 1: what you want to be on a Thursday night. If

876
00:39:43,960 --> 00:39:45,319
Speaker 1: I got to play a Thursday night game, I want

877
00:39:45,320 --> 00:39:48,520
Speaker 1: to plan at home. It's such an advantage, such an

878
00:39:48,520 --> 00:39:51,759
Speaker 1: advantage to be in your own digs because that Wednesday

879
00:39:51,800 --> 00:39:55,560
Speaker 1: before the game, you are able to work on your

880
00:39:55,560 --> 00:39:58,840
Speaker 1: game plan. You're in your facility, you're comfortable, you're in

881
00:39:58,880 --> 00:40:01,720
Speaker 1: your jammies that night. Not traveling. I mean, you spend

882
00:40:01,760 --> 00:40:04,000
Speaker 1: all day Wednesday traveling somewhere, especially when you have to

883
00:40:04,040 --> 00:40:06,400
Speaker 1: go to New England week three of twenty sixteen, and

884
00:40:06,480 --> 00:40:09,919
Speaker 1: it's not cool. Now, last year the Texans capitalized Week two,

885
00:40:10,080 --> 00:40:11,920
Speaker 1: and I think that's another thing. If you're gonna go

886
00:40:11,920 --> 00:40:13,480
Speaker 1: on the road on a Thursday night, you want to

887
00:40:13,520 --> 00:40:15,320
Speaker 1: do it early. You want to do it early in

888
00:40:15,400 --> 00:40:18,080
Speaker 1: the season when you're still kind of fresh because it

889
00:40:18,080 --> 00:40:20,719
Speaker 1: gets brutal. But think about it started twenty three year

890
00:40:20,719 --> 00:40:23,640
Speaker 1: old quarterbackers turning twenty two that day he first started

891
00:40:23,640 --> 00:40:26,560
Speaker 1: in the NFL on the road on a Thursday night

892
00:40:26,600 --> 00:40:29,439
Speaker 1: and walked out of there with a w'sen to nine

893
00:40:29,480 --> 00:40:34,800
Speaker 1: by the high scoring shootout count of thirteen to nine.

894
00:40:35,040 --> 00:40:37,640
Speaker 1: My goodness, here's another one I want to see. And

895
00:40:37,680 --> 00:40:39,680
Speaker 1: I know it's difficult, but the Texans have been in

896
00:40:39,719 --> 00:40:42,160
Speaker 1: this situation a couple of times in the Bill O'Brien era,

897
00:40:42,320 --> 00:40:44,360
Speaker 1: which is you play a Monday night game on the

898
00:40:44,480 --> 00:40:48,160
Speaker 1: road and you're on the road the following Sunday. That stinks.

899
00:40:48,440 --> 00:40:51,239
Speaker 1: That was that was. That's t happened twice fourteen seventeen,

900
00:40:51,600 --> 00:40:55,839
Speaker 1: with Pittsburgh and Tennessee in fourteen and Baltimore and Tennessee

901
00:40:55,080 --> 00:40:57,960
Speaker 1: in seventeen. Now, you beat Tennessee the first time, you

902
00:40:58,040 --> 00:41:00,440
Speaker 1: lost to them the second time, but it was still

903
00:41:00,480 --> 00:41:03,359
Speaker 1: a pretty close game. Even though you lost it, it

904
00:41:03,400 --> 00:41:06,040
Speaker 1: was closer than it really should have been in many ways,

905
00:41:06,040 --> 00:41:08,920
Speaker 1: considering the personnel. You had no doubt. Here a couple

906
00:41:08,960 --> 00:41:10,719
Speaker 1: of other rules agendas we're talking about the rules that

907
00:41:10,719 --> 00:41:14,520
Speaker 1: they're gonna have to vote on This is one from

908
00:41:14,560 --> 00:41:18,479
Speaker 1: the Jets on the NFL's agenda for next week's owners meeting.

909
00:41:18,520 --> 00:41:20,960
Speaker 1: A vote on a proposal from the Jets to make

910
00:41:21,040 --> 00:41:25,080
Speaker 1: pass interference. Oh, here we go. No hold on a

911
00:41:25,239 --> 00:41:27,160
Speaker 1: vote on a proposal from the Jets to make pass

912
00:41:27,160 --> 00:41:31,600
Speaker 1: interference a fifteen yard penalty unless the foul is determined

913
00:41:31,640 --> 00:41:36,560
Speaker 1: to be intentional and egregious by the officiating crew. Get

914
00:41:36,560 --> 00:41:40,520
Speaker 1: ready for long stoppages here and please not make it

915
00:41:40,680 --> 00:41:44,839
Speaker 1: like basketball where they go review it and it takes forever. Ah,

916
00:41:45,680 --> 00:41:50,239
Speaker 1: that's tough, man. I like it that it's fifteen yards.

917
00:41:50,239 --> 00:41:54,000
Speaker 1: How about this, it's fifteen yards unless no, there's no

918
00:41:54,160 --> 00:41:56,560
Speaker 1: I mean, really is we need more time for this?

919
00:41:56,560 --> 00:41:59,719
Speaker 1: This is a big discussion. Yeah, This, to me is

920
00:41:59,719 --> 00:42:02,120
Speaker 1: the only way you can do it, because that's what's

921
00:42:02,120 --> 00:42:04,719
Speaker 1: gonna happen. If a guy on a double move just

922
00:42:04,840 --> 00:42:07,560
Speaker 1: runs by you, guys are gonna get tackled. They're just

923
00:42:07,560 --> 00:42:09,759
Speaker 1: gonna get tied fifteen yards. Its ta, That's what they

924
00:42:09,760 --> 00:42:11,480
Speaker 1: teach them to do in college. If you're getting being

925
00:42:11,520 --> 00:42:13,799
Speaker 1: in college, just grab the guy. Pull them now, it's

926
00:42:13,840 --> 00:42:16,720
Speaker 1: only fifteen fifteen yards. Fifteen yards? Well, what about clear

927
00:42:16,760 --> 00:42:19,200
Speaker 1: path stuff like in the NBA. Yeah, that's exactly what

928
00:42:19,280 --> 00:42:21,480
Speaker 1: this would be. Yeah, look, I think it's difficult to

929
00:42:21,480 --> 00:42:23,960
Speaker 1: determine that, but I'm in favor of something like that.

930
00:42:24,000 --> 00:42:25,640
Speaker 1: I think we can talk about it maybe tomorrow night

931
00:42:25,640 --> 00:42:28,279
Speaker 1: on Texans All excess. Thank you, Johnny, that's gonna do
