1 00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:02,480 Speaker 1: What is up? Everybody? Welcome into a Tuesday at issue 2 00:00:02,480 --> 00:00:06,640 Speaker 1: of Texans All Access from One Day Texan's radio studio. 3 00:00:06,760 --> 00:00:09,960 Speaker 1: I am your host, John Harris, Football and Elise's silent reporter. 4 00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:13,040 Speaker 1: And if you're wondering where my good friend Dpcity is, well, 5 00:00:13,280 --> 00:00:17,919 Speaker 1: she's been out with one of our management groups all 6 00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:23,759 Speaker 1: afternoon and so turned around and said, here, John, you 7 00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:25,639 Speaker 1: take the ball. I'm like, all right cool? In fact, 8 00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:29,160 Speaker 1: she asked me, and so I decided to run with 9 00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:32,960 Speaker 1: it if you will. So we've got a lot for you. 10 00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:35,120 Speaker 1: This evening got a little bit of in the laborage. 11 00:00:35,159 --> 00:00:39,120 Speaker 1: I think you're really gonna like tonight. It is we 12 00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:42,240 Speaker 1: as Drew said, we went back into DeLorean a little bit, 13 00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:48,640 Speaker 1: and then it really it's so interesting how one move, 14 00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:54,520 Speaker 1: one move, one trade, one draft pick can change everything. 15 00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:57,920 Speaker 1: That just change everything. But then what if you do 16 00:00:57,960 --> 00:00:59,760 Speaker 1: it for like five or six draft picks, what do 17 00:00:59,840 --> 00:01:01,720 Speaker 1: you do for an entire draft? Well that's what Drew 18 00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:03,960 Speaker 1: and I did for the two thousand and three draft. 19 00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:06,280 Speaker 1: You definitely want to stick around for that because that 20 00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:09,000 Speaker 1: was a really fun and b you step back and 21 00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:14,840 Speaker 1: go whoa, whoa, that's pretty impressive. Now of course, nobody 22 00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:18,920 Speaker 1: ever hits one hundred percent on a draft, and so 23 00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:21,200 Speaker 1: the Texans did with this one. But you know, the 24 00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:27,520 Speaker 1: seven players Texas drafted, two or three of them are Look, 25 00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:30,039 Speaker 1: they're just they're not gonna make it. That's what the 26 00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:33,039 Speaker 1: math has said. And so we went back and we 27 00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:34,800 Speaker 1: looked at two thousand and three and said, well, what 28 00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:38,679 Speaker 1: if the players that we drafted had those same careers 29 00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:41,520 Speaker 1: for the Texans, how would things have looked. It's kind 30 00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:43,360 Speaker 1: of interested you'll you'll definitely want to hear from that, 31 00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:46,360 Speaker 1: and we're gonna go back and listen to are a 32 00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:49,320 Speaker 1: good friend offensive coordinator Tim Kelly. Mark and I had 33 00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:51,880 Speaker 1: a chance to sit out with him earlier this spring. 34 00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:54,320 Speaker 1: Figured at this point in the years, we start getting 35 00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:57,080 Speaker 1: into OTA's rookie mini camp starting this week, OTAs after 36 00:01:57,120 --> 00:02:00,200 Speaker 1: that miniicamp after that. He's one of probably the more 37 00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:03,720 Speaker 1: important people in this building, given the responsibility as the 38 00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:08,880 Speaker 1: offensive coordinator for this organization for twenty nineteen and beyond. 39 00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:11,600 Speaker 1: So we'll go back and we'll revisit what Tim Kelly 40 00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:14,799 Speaker 1: had to say to us a few months back, and 41 00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:18,040 Speaker 1: we'll have that for you in our next segment. But 42 00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:20,400 Speaker 1: to start off, we're gonna have I'm gonna call it 43 00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:23,560 Speaker 1: a news segment, and I'm gonna call in a minute. 44 00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:26,320 Speaker 1: Most of you that have listened over the years to 45 00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:29,760 Speaker 1: me know that I can I can go. I can 46 00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:33,519 Speaker 1: go for a while. You give me any topic outside 47 00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:36,080 Speaker 1: of politics and religion. I don't touch those, not talking 48 00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:38,440 Speaker 1: about them anything else. I can go for a whole 49 00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:42,040 Speaker 1: lot longer than a minute. But this I'm gonna restrict 50 00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:44,000 Speaker 1: myself to a minute. So what I did was I 51 00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:48,800 Speaker 1: went around the NFL. But I'm gonna do I'm gonna 52 00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:52,560 Speaker 1: do it in a minute. Not not all of it 53 00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:56,160 Speaker 1: in a minute, but every news item I will hit 54 00:02:56,520 --> 00:03:02,800 Speaker 1: in sixty seconds. And then when you hear this and 55 00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:05,280 Speaker 1: that's all I have to say about that, you will 56 00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:08,639 Speaker 1: know it's time to move on to the very next item. 57 00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:13,760 Speaker 1: So let's go in a minute. The NFL is creating 58 00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:20,280 Speaker 1: a London academy, a London football academy. Now, most time 59 00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:23,360 Speaker 1: you're talking about London, you hear football. You're thinking soccer. 60 00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:28,480 Speaker 1: Nate a. With Tottenham creating a brand new stadium and 61 00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:31,720 Speaker 1: the game's over in London, there has been a lot 62 00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:37,360 Speaker 1: of shall we say, momentum towards creating something like this, 63 00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:44,360 Speaker 1: a football academy where this academy will essentially tutor grow 64 00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:48,040 Speaker 1: football players that can maybe one day come over or 65 00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:51,080 Speaker 1: employ college football over the States and hopefully one day 66 00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:54,080 Speaker 1: then turn in to NFL players. That academy will be 67 00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:58,400 Speaker 1: opening in twenty twenty. But the announcement made today that 68 00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:02,200 Speaker 1: the NFL is opening a London academy to help serve 69 00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:06,640 Speaker 1: coug football and obviously to serve the NFL. Could that 70 00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:11,720 Speaker 1: be the final entree into an NFL organization being in 71 00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:17,120 Speaker 1: London full time. I'll have to see, and that's all 72 00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:21,160 Speaker 1: I have to say about that. The Texans apparently today 73 00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:25,560 Speaker 1: visited with Marquette King. Now, if you don't know the name, 74 00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:28,720 Speaker 1: you probably have seen him somewhere on YouTube. Maybe you've 75 00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:32,520 Speaker 1: seen him on NFL highlights. Well, Marquette King was a 76 00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:33,920 Speaker 1: punter for the Raiders and then he went to the 77 00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:37,120 Speaker 1: Broncos and that didn't last very long, but he was 78 00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:38,599 Speaker 1: one of the best punters in the league. A couple 79 00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:41,799 Speaker 1: of years ago with the Oakland Raiders, he was released, 80 00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:44,640 Speaker 1: he moved on to the Broncos, and now he is 81 00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:48,720 Speaker 1: out of work looking for a gig. I don't know 82 00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:51,200 Speaker 1: if that's going to happen here in Houston. But interesting 83 00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:55,960 Speaker 1: that he did visit with the Texans today. Now, Trevor Daniel, 84 00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:58,520 Speaker 1: I thought, as a rookie, did a tremendous job. But 85 00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:01,440 Speaker 1: if there's anything that I learned over draft weekend, anything 86 00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:06,960 Speaker 1: at all, I realized that everybody is competing for a 87 00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:10,680 Speaker 1: spot on this team. Everybody, with a couple of exceptions, 88 00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:13,920 Speaker 1: everybody is competing for a spot on this team, and 89 00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:18,120 Speaker 1: Trevor Daniel, obviously a punter, is one of those, especially 90 00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:20,360 Speaker 1: if the team is going to do anything more with 91 00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:25,440 Speaker 1: Marque King. We'll keep an eye on that one. And 92 00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:28,200 Speaker 1: that's all I have to say about that. The Tampa 93 00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:33,480 Speaker 1: Bay Buccaneers bad luck strikes. Last week, Jason Pierre Paul 94 00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:37,560 Speaker 1: was in a one car accident and the Bucks had 95 00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:39,440 Speaker 1: a statement saying, look, it was a one car accident. 96 00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:42,480 Speaker 1: Everything looks okay, looks like JPP is gonna be all right, 97 00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:47,400 Speaker 1: no big deal, etc. Well, Adam Schefter report today that 98 00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:51,000 Speaker 1: it could be a very big deal that JPP may 99 00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:55,040 Speaker 1: have suffered a significant neck injury and that could cost 100 00:05:55,120 --> 00:06:00,640 Speaker 1: him twenty nineteen at a minimum. Tampa Bay needed pass 101 00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:04,800 Speaker 1: rush help and JPP was the pass rush, and obviously 102 00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:07,520 Speaker 1: there's talking about Jereal McCoy moving on to another organization. 103 00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:12,440 Speaker 1: This was horrible news for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers that 104 00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:16,719 Speaker 1: Jason Pierre Paul could have a serious neck injury that 105 00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:19,880 Speaker 1: may cost him after a single car accident last week. 106 00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:25,039 Speaker 1: And that's all I had to say about that. We 107 00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:26,840 Speaker 1: talked about this a little bit at the beginning of 108 00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:31,599 Speaker 1: the week. JJ watts Charity Softball Classic was a major, 109 00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:35,960 Speaker 1: major hit with the fans, with the supporters, with those 110 00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:40,240 Speaker 1: people that donated time, etc. To what degree. Oh, here's 111 00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:43,039 Speaker 1: what JJ had to say yesterday at the golf tournament. 112 00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:45,680 Speaker 1: And I don't have the exact total. I think I 113 00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:48,520 Speaker 1: was told somewhere right around one point one million, which 114 00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:51,160 Speaker 1: is obviously unbelievable, and I'm so thankful to my teammates 115 00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:53,360 Speaker 1: and the fans and the volunteers. It was. It was 116 00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:56,760 Speaker 1: an unbelievable night, and I hope everybody enjoyed themselves. I 117 00:06:56,839 --> 00:06:59,120 Speaker 1: know that my teammates and I did them. I'm very thankful. 118 00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:05,000 Speaker 1: That's right. One point one million dollars. That's an amazing 119 00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:09,920 Speaker 1: number to put together, an amazing number. Congratulations to JJ, 120 00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:14,160 Speaker 1: to everybody involved, his mom Connie who runs the foundation, 121 00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:18,800 Speaker 1: his dad John, who does a tremendous job. They're incredible 122 00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:21,200 Speaker 1: in what they were able to do. And JJ said, Look, 123 00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:22,640 Speaker 1: when I was in college, I thought if we could 124 00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:24,400 Speaker 1: get to one hundred thousan dollars would have been great. 125 00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:28,600 Speaker 1: They've given over five million dollars, but one point one 126 00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:33,520 Speaker 1: million dollars raised this weekend for the Softball Classic. Congratulations JJ, excellent, 127 00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:40,400 Speaker 1: excellent job. And that's all I have to say about that. 128 00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:46,120 Speaker 1: OBJ says he wants to turn the Browns into the 129 00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:50,800 Speaker 1: Patriots LOBJ style. Of course, now it's one thing to 130 00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:56,400 Speaker 1: say that, it's another thing to do it. Now, Bill 131 00:07:56,440 --> 00:08:00,560 Speaker 1: Belichick was once a Cleveland Brown. Tom Brady, fortunately for 132 00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:04,120 Speaker 1: Patriots fans, was never a Brown, but the Belichick Brady combination. 133 00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:06,840 Speaker 1: I don't know if Kitchens Mayfield is quite there yet, 134 00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:11,800 Speaker 1: but I think the exacting standard that Bill Belichick has 135 00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:16,120 Speaker 1: looked for and has found in New England and asks 136 00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:20,400 Speaker 1: out of his players that is very difficult to replicate, 137 00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:25,360 Speaker 1: very difficult. Is Baker Mayfield gonna take an undermarket deal 138 00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:27,720 Speaker 1: for his second deal? Is third deal? Is fourth deal? 139 00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:33,320 Speaker 1: Is he gonna take average quarterback money so that the 140 00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:35,840 Speaker 1: Browns can continue to bring in players up to put 141 00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:39,440 Speaker 1: around him. Is ob J gonna take that same deal? 142 00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:42,400 Speaker 1: I don't know. To me, there are a lot of 143 00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:44,480 Speaker 1: things that separate the Patriots everybody else in the league. 144 00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:48,280 Speaker 1: And for OBJ to be talking about that, oh man, careful, 145 00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:54,920 Speaker 1: be very very careful. And that's all I have to 146 00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:58,520 Speaker 1: say about that. I mentioned the golf tournament a little 147 00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:03,199 Speaker 1: while ago yesterday Houston Tech. Since golf tournament, Jamie Roots, Well, 148 00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:05,600 Speaker 1: I'll let him tell you what the Texas have been 149 00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:08,679 Speaker 1: able to do through the use of our golf tournament. 150 00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:12,800 Speaker 1: Today's our seventeenth annual charity gelf Classic, presented by BMW. 151 00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:16,760 Speaker 1: Really proud to have them associated with the tournament.

We 158 00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:38,319 Speaker 1: talk about three imperatives of the team. Win championships, create 159 00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:41,440 Speaker 1: memorable experiences, and do great things for Houston, and in 160 00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:44,720 Speaker 1: partnership with our generous sponsors, the hard work of our 161 00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:47,200 Speaker 1: players and our coaches and the entirety of our staff, 162 00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:49,319 Speaker 1: we do think we're making a difference in the lives 163 00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:53,280 Speaker 1: of the next generation of leaders in Houston, Texas. Congratulations 164 00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:57,600 Speaker 1: to Jamie and everybody involved with our Houston Texans Golf tournament. 165 00:09:57,840 --> 00:10:04,440 Speaker 1: Great job, everybody, excellent and that's all I had to 166 00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:08,680 Speaker 1: say about that. At said golf tournament on Monday, Bill 167 00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:12,920 Speaker 1: O'Brien was asked about joint practices with the Packers and Alliance. 168 00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:15,400 Speaker 1: It is now confirmed. I think it's good. I think 169 00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:18,360 Speaker 1: it breaks up the routine of camp. I think there's 170 00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:21,680 Speaker 1: times where you know about two weeks in three weeks 171 00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:24,200 Speaker 1: in where if you can go against another opponent, I 172 00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:27,360 Speaker 1: think it's really good competition for your team. I think 173 00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:31,079 Speaker 1: that it allows you to go against other teams who 174 00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:32,800 Speaker 1: do it a little bit differently than you do it, 175 00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:36,640 Speaker 1: see how they do. It allows us to go against, 176 00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:41,560 Speaker 1: you know, really good quarterbacks and Aaron Rodgers and Matthew Stafford, 177 00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:44,720 Speaker 1: and then allows our great quarterback to to go go 178 00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:47,839 Speaker 1: against some really good defenses. To Shaun Watson gets to 179 00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:49,600 Speaker 1: see some really good defenses. So I think there's a 180 00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:54,200 Speaker 1: lot of things that are really beneficial from from going 181 00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:56,800 Speaker 1: against another team, store the Bears, the Vikings in there, 182 00:10:56,840 --> 00:11:00,240 Speaker 1: We've got a whole NFC North set for practices. Now 183 00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:03,000 Speaker 1: I will take two of them Packers Lions this summer. 184 00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:08,080 Speaker 1: Look forward to it. Circle it on your calendar. And 185 00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:10,960 Speaker 1: that's all I have to say about that. This is 186 00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:15,680 Speaker 1: my only non NFL note. I think Rockets one twelve, 187 00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:19,200 Speaker 1: Golden State one on wait two to two, baby, Yes, 188 00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:23,080 Speaker 1: gotta love the performance last night. The Rockets take a 189 00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:26,520 Speaker 1: seventeen point lead, seventy seven to sixty at some point 190 00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:29,920 Speaker 1: a third quarter, and the Warriors roared back. And do 191 00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:33,959 Speaker 1: not tell me that you weren't stressed about that particular situation. 192 00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:37,719 Speaker 1: I've been around Houston sports for a long time. I 193 00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:42,880 Speaker 1: was scared out of my mind. I was terrified. But 194 00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:45,560 Speaker 1: James Harden and the boys hung on for the big 195 00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:50,440 Speaker 1: win and stayed off not one but two great three 196 00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:54,480 Speaker 1: point looks at the end by James, excuse me, by 197 00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:57,240 Speaker 1: Kevin Durant and Steph Curry. How can I screw that up? 198 00:11:57,400 --> 00:12:01,640 Speaker 1: But congratulations to the guys for a tremendous showing getting 199 00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:05,559 Speaker 1: that win. Yesterday over the Golden State Warriors. The series 200 00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:09,400 Speaker 1: now goes back to Oracle Arena, where if the Rockets 201 00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:12,000 Speaker 1: can win the next two, they can shut down Oracle. 202 00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:16,680 Speaker 1: How about that? And that's all I have to say 203 00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:20,240 Speaker 1: about that. Okay, I've done pretty well on my new 204 00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:22,000 Speaker 1: segment called in a minute, but I'm gonna go a 205 00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:23,959 Speaker 1: little bit longer with this one. All right, give me 206 00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:26,840 Speaker 1: give me two, give me two, okay too, because this 207 00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:32,079 Speaker 1: one's pretty important. Midnight tonight. It's a huge deadline, huge deadline. 208 00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:36,040 Speaker 1: Why Well, in the NFL, there are a ton of 209 00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:38,760 Speaker 1: free agents still out there, as you would say out 210 00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:41,679 Speaker 1: on the street, they are out there. And this is 211 00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:47,520 Speaker 1: a deadline because any pick signed after the deadline midnight 212 00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:51,280 Speaker 1: tonight eleven fifty nine Eastern time, so I guess eleven 213 00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:56,520 Speaker 1: o'clock our time, free agents can sign with teams and 214 00:12:56,760 --> 00:13:02,079 Speaker 1: those signings will not impact the POTENTI compensatory pick formula. 215 00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:06,800 Speaker 1: So there is this formula for free agents you've signed 216 00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:11,680 Speaker 1: versus free agents you've lost in the amount of dollars 217 00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:16,040 Speaker 1: that are coming in versus those going out. So for 218 00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:18,240 Speaker 1: a guy like Tyram Matthew who signed with the Chiefs, 219 00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:20,920 Speaker 1: because we're losing him, We're gonna get a third round 220 00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:24,200 Speaker 1: competittory pick for him. But if the Texans were to 221 00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:28,400 Speaker 1: sign a player after the deadline, then they would have 222 00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:32,760 Speaker 1: an opportunity to sign that player without it changing or 223 00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:38,200 Speaker 1: impacting the compensatory pick formula. And we've seen those compensatory picks. 224 00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:44,080 Speaker 1: Compensatory picks be extremely valuable. I believe that. I believe 225 00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:46,640 Speaker 1: Jordan Nakens. Last year's the third round pick was a 226 00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:50,640 Speaker 1: third round compensatory pick. So you get those based on 227 00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:54,560 Speaker 1: this formula. But what's still out there, Well, here's what's 228 00:13:54,559 --> 00:14:00,120 Speaker 1: still out there. The Dominicans, Sue Ziggyons, cornerback Moclayborne who 229 00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:04,160 Speaker 1: got burned in the Jets game by DeAndre Hopkins, Jamie Collins, 230 00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:08,640 Speaker 1: linebacker Jji running back Glover Quinn, Shane Ray Outs a 231 00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:11,600 Speaker 1: linebacker def it's tackling Corey Legit from the Chargers. He's 232 00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:13,600 Speaker 1: dealing injury, so it's kind of tough. Michael Craps your 233 00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:17,000 Speaker 1: wide receiver, Calvin Benjamin, wide receiver defense, Van B. Wilkerson, 234 00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:20,680 Speaker 1: safety Eric Berry is coming off an injury. Running back 235 00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:24,360 Speaker 1: Corey Grant is coming off an injury. Those are just 236 00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:27,480 Speaker 1: some of the names that are out there that the 237 00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:31,880 Speaker 1: Texans can sign after the deadline and not impact the 238 00:14:31,880 --> 00:14:35,520 Speaker 1: compensatory pick formul though that's massive because those picks have 239 00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:38,560 Speaker 1: been well earned, so you'd like to be able to 240 00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:40,440 Speaker 1: hang on to them. But those are just some of 241 00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:43,200 Speaker 1: the names. So keep an eye on this next free 242 00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:46,040 Speaker 1: agent period. As I say in air quotes, it's not 243 00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:48,680 Speaker 1: really considered as such, but I think as teams start 244 00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:52,200 Speaker 1: to hoard compensatory picks, this has may become an even 245 00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:56,280 Speaker 1: bigger and maybe more important free agency period, kind of 246 00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:58,280 Speaker 1: as a you got a Plan A and a Plan B. 247 00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:01,520 Speaker 1: This Plan B is beginning gonna become very very important, 248 00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:03,360 Speaker 1: and the Texans still have some money to spend, So 249 00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:06,280 Speaker 1: keep an eye on any of these, maybe a few 250 00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:09,200 Speaker 1: others that didn't mention being part of the Texans going 251 00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:12,800 Speaker 1: forward due to this. I don't wanna say quirk in 252 00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:15,520 Speaker 1: the free agency period, but sort of this quirk in 253 00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:21,040 Speaker 1: the free agency period. So deadline tonight midnight Eastern eleven 254 00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:26,720 Speaker 1: Central pet Story pick formula doesn't vanish, but any picks 255 00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:30,240 Speaker 1: sign after that period after that deadline are not subject 256 00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:32,000 Speaker 1: to that formula, So it could be big for a 257 00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:37,560 Speaker 1: lot of teams, including your Texas And that's all I 258 00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:40,520 Speaker 1: had to say about that. And there you go. It's 259 00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:43,760 Speaker 1: around the NFL in a minute, with the exception out 260 00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:45,640 Speaker 1: last one. All right, coming up next off its coordinator 261 00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:48,600 Speaker 1: Tim Kelly with Mark Vannier and myself right here in 262 00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:50,960 Speaker 1: Texas All Access. Let's jump right back into Texas All 263 00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:54,400 Speaker 1: Access with our conversation with offensive coordinator Tim Kelly. What 264 00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:58,200 Speaker 1: about doing what you do here in the building prior 265 00:15:58,280 --> 00:16:01,360 Speaker 1: to this and running meeting Bill O'Brien talked about you 266 00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:04,040 Speaker 1: running some key meetings and yeah, I'm sure it was 267 00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:06,880 Speaker 1: other stuff as well, but that helps in your climb 268 00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:09,960 Speaker 1: the coaching ladder, sure, and getting you know, getting anytime 269 00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:12,120 Speaker 1: you can get in front of the room and present, 270 00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:15,560 Speaker 1: you know, try to grab everybody's attention more importantly, keep 271 00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:18,280 Speaker 1: everybody's intention. Yeah, uh, you know, I think it's good. 272 00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:23,320 Speaker 1: So I think that was you know, uh, good opportunity 273 00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:24,800 Speaker 1: for me to grow last year with them being able 274 00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:26,080 Speaker 1: to put me in front of the room for for 275 00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:28,400 Speaker 1: a few days a week and present the things that 276 00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:31,520 Speaker 1: would present, you know, the first and second out of defenses, 277 00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:34,200 Speaker 1: the third down defense is the personnel, so all those 278 00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:36,280 Speaker 1: little different aspects of the game plan that we you know, 279 00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:38,600 Speaker 1: I was able to get up and talk about I 280 00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:41,360 Speaker 1: think was good in my development. Tim when you started here, 281 00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:43,480 Speaker 1: you started here as an offensive assistant. How did those 282 00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:47,480 Speaker 1: years as an offenensive assistant help you as you moved 283 00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:49,920 Speaker 1: up the ladders you got to be the tenant's coach, 284 00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:52,560 Speaker 1: now moves into offensive coordinator role? How did they How 285 00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:56,080 Speaker 1: did that time where we would see you, I mean 286 00:16:56,160 --> 00:16:59,320 Speaker 1: all the time you were all you were doing the grind, 287 00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:01,320 Speaker 1: the grid. You worked that a lot of people don't 288 00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:03,440 Speaker 1: want to do or can't do. How do you think 289 00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:06,600 Speaker 1: that experience helps you going forward in this role? Um? 290 00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:09,520 Speaker 1: You know, I think all that all that experience really 291 00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:11,879 Speaker 1: kind of teaches me the nuts and the bolts of 292 00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:13,760 Speaker 1: the of the offense and the defense and how people's 293 00:17:13,840 --> 00:17:16,320 Speaker 1: kind of see things. So, you know, sitting there and 294 00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:19,920 Speaker 1: you know, the countless games broken down and the countless 295 00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:22,840 Speaker 1: drawings made things, all those lines really really helps you 296 00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:25,320 Speaker 1: kind of learn. It's almost like a karate kid type deal, 297 00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:27,959 Speaker 1: like wax on wax often. Yeah, by the end of it, 298 00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:31,639 Speaker 1: you know, you've learned this copious playbook. So, um, you know, 299 00:17:32,119 --> 00:17:35,000 Speaker 1: very thankful for the opportunity, you know, to do those 300 00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:37,320 Speaker 1: grind like jobs and things on those odes because it 301 00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:39,520 Speaker 1: did end up teaching me a lot major points for 302 00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:43,280 Speaker 1: the mister Miagi reference right there, like that, Now Minnesota 303 00:17:43,359 --> 00:17:47,480 Speaker 1: State Morehead, you were a defensive coordinator there. How about 304 00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:49,600 Speaker 1: that You're a gratisist at the year before then you 305 00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:52,680 Speaker 1: become a defensive coordinator. What was that experience like? Well, 306 00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:56,359 Speaker 1: it was different because it happened midyear, so you know, 307 00:17:56,440 --> 00:17:59,399 Speaker 1: they let the defense coordinator that was there you know 308 00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:02,080 Speaker 1: before me, like week six or whatever it was, so 309 00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:04,400 Speaker 1: I think I only had five games as a coordinator, 310 00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:07,440 Speaker 1: but it was it was you know, interesting kind of 311 00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:09,879 Speaker 1: one day or the Delon coach the next day, or 312 00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:11,960 Speaker 1: the defensive coordinator all right, let's go, let's go do this. 313 00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:16,080 Speaker 1: So you know, it was it was challenging to say 314 00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:19,000 Speaker 1: the least. Tim when you see coaches, you know, some 315 00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:21,159 Speaker 1: coaches will go from one place to the other. Yeo, 316 00:18:21,240 --> 00:18:23,639 Speaker 1: Carl Smith coming from Seattle coming here, He's gonna have 317 00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:26,320 Speaker 1: fresh eyes on a situation. You've been here the last 318 00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:28,920 Speaker 1: few years. You've seen this offense change and transform. And 319 00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:32,119 Speaker 1: then obviously Sean gets added in twenty seventeen, but just 320 00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:36,000 Speaker 1: taking twenty seventeen as it is what's the biggest excuse 321 00:18:36,040 --> 00:18:38,800 Speaker 1: me twenty eighteen? Taking twenty eighteen and moving forward and 322 00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:41,080 Speaker 1: taking it up to another level. What's the biggest thing 323 00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:43,240 Speaker 1: that the offense has to do to go to a 324 00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:46,000 Speaker 1: different level. It's very good at twenty eighteen at times. Well, 325 00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:47,560 Speaker 1: where do you want it to get in twenty nineteen? 326 00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:48,840 Speaker 1: How do you think you get there? Yeah? I mean 327 00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:50,679 Speaker 1: I think you always want to be moving forward in 328 00:18:50,840 --> 00:18:53,159 Speaker 1: first and foremost, you know, without getting in too much detail, 329 00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:56,119 Speaker 1: I think you want to look at the consistency of 330 00:18:56,240 --> 00:18:58,879 Speaker 1: really everybody involved. So as we're going through and we're 331 00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:02,639 Speaker 1: watching the different cutups, you know, you're looking at areas 332 00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:04,600 Speaker 1: we were you know, pretty good at in other areas 333 00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:06,600 Speaker 1: that we need to improve at. For the most part, 334 00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:09,000 Speaker 1: it's just people being consistent coming in and doing their 335 00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:11,359 Speaker 1: jobs play by play, week by week, and being able 336 00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:13,359 Speaker 1: to do that. Um, I think is going to take 337 00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:15,080 Speaker 1: us to where we want to go. Since you've come 338 00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:17,880 Speaker 1: into the building, obviously there have been different quarterbacks here, 339 00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:20,920 Speaker 1: you know, many different situations. Offensively, how does that help 340 00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:23,240 Speaker 1: you experience wise as you get ready for the future 341 00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:25,399 Speaker 1: with this team. I think it provides you with a 342 00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:28,200 Speaker 1: lot of answers. You know what I mean, Like we 343 00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:30,879 Speaker 1: have been in a ton of situations, you know, people 344 00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:34,040 Speaker 1: breaking legs in Indianapolis and you know Tim and getting 345 00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:35,639 Speaker 1: rolled up on and then oh my god, what do 346 00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:38,679 Speaker 1: we do now? Or so I think it kind of 347 00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:41,520 Speaker 1: builds with your experience of all the unique situations, because 348 00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:43,879 Speaker 1: not every situation is the same. But you know, if 349 00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:46,840 Speaker 1: you have this, this big bag of things that you've 350 00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:48,520 Speaker 1: been through, you can kind of draw back and say, well, 351 00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:51,000 Speaker 1: this is kind of similar to how we handle this situation, 352 00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:53,000 Speaker 1: or this is kind of similar to you know in 353 00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:55,639 Speaker 1: fifteen when this happened, and at least it kind of 354 00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:57,399 Speaker 1: gives you a starting point as to how to handle 355 00:19:57,440 --> 00:19:59,560 Speaker 1: different things. And now you walk into building in one 356 00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:01,720 Speaker 1: of those co back said, did tear his leg up? 357 00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:04,040 Speaker 1: Is now working for you at t J Yates? It's weird? 358 00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:06,480 Speaker 1: How that's weird this world works. But what does a 359 00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:10,400 Speaker 1: guy like TJ provide for you as an offensive assistant 360 00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:12,240 Speaker 1: a role that used used to be in now he's 361 00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:14,359 Speaker 1: now in a role similar to that. How does that 362 00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:16,120 Speaker 1: help you going forward to him? Yeah? I think it's 363 00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:19,639 Speaker 1: you know, a very very valuable tool to have, you know, 364 00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:22,439 Speaker 1: with us, because he does provide a player's perspective, and 365 00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:25,240 Speaker 1: then you know, with him being a quarterback and you know, 366 00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:27,320 Speaker 1: rather successful one, he's able to kind of tell us 367 00:20:27,320 --> 00:20:29,280 Speaker 1: what he's looking at or what he would look at, 368 00:20:29,960 --> 00:20:33,080 Speaker 1: just kind of give us, you know, another unique perspective 369 00:20:33,119 --> 00:20:36,320 Speaker 1: in the room. Eastern Illinois. So this is like an 370 00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:39,320 Speaker 1: NFL hotbed. Really when you think about some of the 371 00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:41,520 Speaker 1: players that have come out, when did you know you 372 00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:43,359 Speaker 1: want it to be a coach? When did that happen 373 00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:46,360 Speaker 1: for you? Tim? You know, when, uh, you know, when 374 00:20:46,359 --> 00:20:47,920 Speaker 1: we lost our last playoff game, I knew that I 375 00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:50,560 Speaker 1: wasn't done with it yet. I knew I wasn't good 376 00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:53,800 Speaker 1: enough to play anymore, but uh I wasn't. I wasn't 377 00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:56,840 Speaker 1: ready to let the game go. So, uh, you know, 378 00:20:56,880 --> 00:20:59,240 Speaker 1: I taught to some of my coaches that I played 379 00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:01,320 Speaker 1: for and what I could do to stay around, and 380 00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:04,080 Speaker 1: you know, kind of just just kept hanging around and 381 00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:06,760 Speaker 1: ended up getting to graduate, you know, a system position 382 00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:09,000 Speaker 1: and we were off and running there. What's the biggest 383 00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:11,680 Speaker 1: difference in your mind? Because you got into it very 384 00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:13,680 Speaker 1: young like that, so did Bill O'Brien, by the way, 385 00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:16,240 Speaker 1: of course, So what was the biggest difference. What stood 386 00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:18,359 Speaker 1: out to you right away when you started coaching as 387 00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:22,639 Speaker 1: a grad assistant, how much work the coaches as a player, 388 00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:26,280 Speaker 1: You're like, am I getting myself exactly right? Then? You 389 00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:28,440 Speaker 1: know that that first camp all around and it was 390 00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:30,680 Speaker 1: an eye opening I was like, oh my goodness. So yeah, 391 00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:32,560 Speaker 1: definitely the amount of work that goes into it and 392 00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:34,560 Speaker 1: just you know, the amount of detail that goes into 393 00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:37,440 Speaker 1: it was eye opening as you thought about being a coach. 394 00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:39,159 Speaker 1: I'm sure over the years you've talked to may different 395 00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:41,399 Speaker 1: coaches and when you tell people, yea, I'm gonna go 396 00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:43,359 Speaker 1: be a coach, I'm gonna do this. Have you gotten 397 00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:46,720 Speaker 1: like a piece of advice from somebody along the way, 398 00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:50,359 Speaker 1: a coach, a parent, a friend, a family member as 399 00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:53,320 Speaker 1: you started, yeah, I'm a coach, and they said, hey, 400 00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:55,359 Speaker 1: this would be the one piece of advice i'd give you. 401 00:21:55,359 --> 00:21:57,119 Speaker 1: Have you ever gotten a piece of advice from somebody 402 00:21:57,119 --> 00:21:58,639 Speaker 1: like that? Yeah, Well, my dad I always saying just 403 00:21:58,720 --> 00:22:00,520 Speaker 1: keep your head down and don't get y'all at so 404 00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:05,439 Speaker 1: I mean that's been the biggest, the biggest piece of advice. 405 00:22:05,520 --> 00:22:07,719 Speaker 1: Just keep keep keep your head down, keep working as 406 00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:09,080 Speaker 1: hard as you can, and the goal at the end 407 00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:10,359 Speaker 1: of the day is to not get yelled at. If 408 00:22:10,359 --> 00:22:11,920 Speaker 1: you can do that, then you're doing a good job 409 00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:15,480 Speaker 1: and just keep pushing forward. It's just the corollaria of 410 00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:17,639 Speaker 1: the advice I got, which was don't suck. That was it. 411 00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:19,600 Speaker 1: That's kind that's kind of all one and the same. 412 00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:24,320 Speaker 1: I mean, it really is, except it's just more negative. 413 00:22:24,520 --> 00:22:27,720 Speaker 1: I guess to say that that way. But my former boss, 414 00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:31,600 Speaker 1: he knows who he is. Yeah, who doesn't, Yeah, he knows. 415 00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:35,720 Speaker 1: That was the advice don't suck. I mean, I try 416 00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:39,160 Speaker 1: not to. That's not always a guarantee, though not always guarantee, 417 00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:42,879 Speaker 1: but I try. That's really my inspiration. So it was 418 00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:44,480 Speaker 1: sort of that way for a coach Kelly too, but 419 00:22:44,560 --> 00:22:47,240 Speaker 1: just in a different sense. I guess if you will. 420 00:22:47,320 --> 00:22:49,439 Speaker 1: All right, coming up next, Drew Dorty and I are 421 00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:51,520 Speaker 1: going to go in the lab, and really by saying 422 00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:53,320 Speaker 1: we're going to the lab, we're actually going into the 423 00:22:53,359 --> 00:22:57,160 Speaker 1: time machine. Yeah, DeLorean back to two thousand and three. 424 00:22:57,280 --> 00:22:59,080 Speaker 1: See what I mean next right here in Texas all access. 425 00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:02,080 Speaker 1: So what happens when you eighty eight miles an hour 426 00:23:02,119 --> 00:23:05,359 Speaker 1: in DeLorean in one direction? Don't don't change directions? Do 427 00:23:05,359 --> 00:23:08,119 Speaker 1: you automatically go back in time. Well, Drew Doherty and 428 00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:11,439 Speaker 1: I did on our in the Lab podcast, and we 429 00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:13,280 Speaker 1: went all the way back to two thousand and three. 430 00:23:13,320 --> 00:23:16,119 Speaker 1: We might do this a few more times too, looking 431 00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:19,560 Speaker 1: at other years, because the revisionist history of things, when 432 00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:22,000 Speaker 1: you go back and you look at it, especially in drafts, 433 00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:24,960 Speaker 1: what you could have done, what you I don't want 434 00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:26,439 Speaker 1: to say should have done, but what you could have 435 00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:28,600 Speaker 1: done at that point given the team you have. We 436 00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:30,800 Speaker 1: did that for two thousand and three. This was really fun. 437 00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:32,760 Speaker 1: Take a listen to this from our in Lab podcast, 438 00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:34,480 Speaker 1: which you can get on iTunes. You can get it 439 00:23:34,520 --> 00:23:36,159 Speaker 1: from our app but go check it out in the 440 00:23:36,240 --> 00:23:39,240 Speaker 1: Lab podcast. Drew and I get in the DeLorean and 441 00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:43,919 Speaker 1: go back in time. Buckle the seatbelt. Okay, the flux 442 00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:49,080 Speaker 1: capacitor has the plutonium, and we've got plenty of real 443 00:23:49,160 --> 00:23:52,040 Speaker 1: estate in front of us at the Mall parking lot. 444 00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:56,280 Speaker 1: The Libyans have been neutralized, so here we go. Okay, 445 00:23:57,359 --> 00:23:59,879 Speaker 1: we're going back to two thousand and three. John, Okay, 446 00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:06,200 Speaker 1: specifically April twenty sixth of two thousand and three. Let 447 00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:08,080 Speaker 1: me just set the scene for you here in Houston. 448 00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:11,320 Speaker 1: Rockets out of the playoffs. They had a good year. 449 00:24:11,359 --> 00:24:13,520 Speaker 1: They're four games over five hundred, but they did not 450 00:24:13,560 --> 00:24:17,200 Speaker 1: make the playoffs. Set your astros were getting started that season. 451 00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:20,640 Speaker 1: Jimmy Williams was the manager. There were a few games 452 00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:22,680 Speaker 1: under five hundred on April twenty six, but they turned 453 00:24:22,680 --> 00:24:25,760 Speaker 1: it around. They'd wind up winning eighty seven games. That 454 00:24:25,840 --> 00:24:27,920 Speaker 1: was a powerful lineup, but they finished second, didn't go 455 00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:30,080 Speaker 1: to the playoffs either. The next two years would be 456 00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:31,720 Speaker 1: pretty good ones, though, would they have they had a 457 00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:35,160 Speaker 1: wild card? I think they know that they did not 458 00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:38,720 Speaker 1: because the wild card was in. Had they had the wildcard, 459 00:24:38,760 --> 00:24:41,600 Speaker 1: would they have gotten it? Yeah? The wild card was around. 460 00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:44,080 Speaker 1: That was it thou three, But they didn't. They didn't 461 00:24:44,119 --> 00:24:47,600 Speaker 1: make it. And then at the box office, Adam Sandler 462 00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:50,840 Speaker 1: and Jack Nicholson's Anger Management was number one. Did you 463 00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:54,520 Speaker 1: like that movie? Um? You know it was okay? I 464 00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:56,920 Speaker 1: like Adam Sandler. I didn't. Yeah, I liked the stuff 465 00:24:56,920 --> 00:24:59,639 Speaker 1: from the nineties more. And his oh my goodness, his 466 00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:02,639 Speaker 1: ahell on Netflix right now is phenomenal. He's got his 467 00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:06,640 Speaker 1: song which he did again on Saturday Night Live over 468 00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:09,320 Speaker 1: the weekend, his song about Chris Farley, Oh my gosh, 469 00:25:09,359 --> 00:25:11,160 Speaker 1: I mean it's even better on that. You should check 470 00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:13,200 Speaker 1: that out. But it's it's pretty cool. Butty, Yeah, I 471 00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:15,520 Speaker 1: like I like Sandler. Yeah, I like Sandler. I didn't 472 00:25:15,560 --> 00:25:17,960 Speaker 1: care for Anger Management and I like Nicholson. I don't 473 00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:20,960 Speaker 1: know something about it. I just didn't careful. But either way, Yeah, 474 00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:23,560 Speaker 1: the US had invaded her rock about a month before 475 00:25:24,440 --> 00:25:28,440 Speaker 1: and fifty cents into club. Oh, that's Mark's favorite song 476 00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:31,520 Speaker 1: had a stranglehold on the number one spot on the 477 00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:34,120 Speaker 1: pop chart. So that is Mark's favorite song. Why am 478 00:25:34,119 --> 00:25:37,080 Speaker 1: I focusing on April twenty six of two thousand and three. 479 00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:40,920 Speaker 1: That sounds like a draft date. Oh, you're right, all right, nice, Yes, 480 00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:43,960 Speaker 1: you are right. What we're doing is we're going back 481 00:25:44,240 --> 00:25:50,280 Speaker 1: and we're redrafting the two thousand and three Houston Texans. Okay, okay, 482 00:25:50,280 --> 00:25:52,360 Speaker 1: So Kevin Carr and company had just come off their 483 00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:57,720 Speaker 1: first season. He was kind of the identity of the offense. 484 00:25:58,640 --> 00:26:03,159 Speaker 1: You had Corey Bradford, had Jabbar Gaffney, you know, but 485 00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:04,840 Speaker 1: you didn't really have too much else. It was it 486 00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:08,040 Speaker 1: was struggling your and your offensive line was really struggling 487 00:26:08,119 --> 00:26:13,920 Speaker 1: as well. So at number one overall in that draft, 488 00:26:14,760 --> 00:26:17,200 Speaker 1: the Texans were not picking because remember they won enough games. 489 00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:19,720 Speaker 1: They won a few games that year. The Bengals took 490 00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:23,440 Speaker 1: Carson Palmer at quarterback. Yeah, the Detroit Lions were picking next. 491 00:26:23,680 --> 00:26:26,480 Speaker 1: Oh no, are they gonna take Andre Johnson. Nope, they 492 00:26:26,560 --> 00:26:29,640 Speaker 1: took Michigan State's Charlie Rogers. And this is a little 493 00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:31,479 Speaker 1: bit I don't want to say revisionist history, but in 494 00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:33,880 Speaker 1: some sense we look at it now and it's interested 495 00:26:33,960 --> 00:26:37,680 Speaker 1: you say that, because back then it was a slam dunk, 496 00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:41,040 Speaker 1: no doubt that Detroit was taking Charlie Rogers. Yeah, he 497 00:26:41,080 --> 00:26:44,320 Speaker 1: was from Flint, he went to Michigan State. He was 498 00:26:45,240 --> 00:26:50,200 Speaker 1: the hottest thing in college football football player. He made 499 00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:51,840 Speaker 1: a catch against Notre Dame in the back of the 500 00:26:51,920 --> 00:26:55,560 Speaker 1: end zone to beat Notre Dame that year. That was 501 00:26:55,800 --> 00:27:00,000 Speaker 1: just sick on the cover sports illustration. Yeah, everybody, Charlie Rodgers, 502 00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:03,159 Speaker 1: Charli it was just on. It was unfortunate because Charlie 503 00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:06,400 Speaker 1: wasn't the receiver that everybody thought he was. And then 504 00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:10,920 Speaker 1: he got into some habits that usually uh, well i'll 505 00:27:10,920 --> 00:27:12,800 Speaker 1: tell you, I'll tell you, I'll tell you habit he 506 00:27:12,840 --> 00:27:15,720 Speaker 1: got into he ate fried bologny sandwiches too much. Well, 507 00:27:15,800 --> 00:27:18,080 Speaker 1: I'm not making this up. I have a player in 508 00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:20,680 Speaker 1: two thousand and nine who played with him on the 509 00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:23,640 Speaker 1: Lions telling me about that. Yeah, I mean he poor 510 00:27:23,760 --> 00:27:26,400 Speaker 1: diet amongst other things. We have bigger problems. I think 511 00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:28,879 Speaker 1: there was one thing that precipitated that poor diet, if 512 00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:31,320 Speaker 1: you know what I mean. But I won't go I 513 00:27:31,320 --> 00:27:32,960 Speaker 1: won't go any further, but you kind of get the 514 00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:38,879 Speaker 1: drugs either way. Charlie Rodgers was slam dunk, no doubt. Now, 515 00:27:39,240 --> 00:27:43,760 Speaker 1: thankfully the Lions had no forecasting abilities because they are like, 516 00:27:43,800 --> 00:27:45,760 Speaker 1: all right, would take it, Charlie Rodgers. They thought they 517 00:27:45,800 --> 00:27:49,520 Speaker 1: were getting they thought they were getting there. Andre Johnson. Yeah, Exackically, 518 00:27:49,600 --> 00:27:52,360 Speaker 1: the Texans got Andre Johnson next pick. So the Texans 519 00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:54,879 Speaker 1: at three, Hey, a lot of good players on the 520 00:27:54,920 --> 00:27:57,320 Speaker 1: board at that spot. You could have taken Jordan Gross 521 00:27:57,359 --> 00:28:00,280 Speaker 1: and bolstered the line. You couldn't take it. Terrellse Songs, 522 00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:03,480 Speaker 1: he's still around, kept messing with quarterbacks. You could have 523 00:28:03,560 --> 00:28:05,920 Speaker 1: taken Troy Paulamalo at safety, but I'm still gonna roll 524 00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:11,000 Speaker 1: with Drea. The Texans take Andre Johnson. So from there though, 525 00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:14,199 Speaker 1: things get wacky, things get weird, And let's just review 526 00:28:14,200 --> 00:28:16,720 Speaker 1: what the Texans had in their arsenal that year. They 527 00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:20,639 Speaker 1: had the second rounder at forty one. Overall, they had 528 00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:24,040 Speaker 1: a trio of third rounders sixty seven, seventy five, and 529 00:28:24,160 --> 00:28:27,080 Speaker 1: eighty eight. They had a fourth rounder one hundred first overall, 530 00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:30,719 Speaker 1: they didn't have a fifth. They had two in the six, one, two, 531 00:28:30,760 --> 00:28:33,160 Speaker 1: and two fourteen, and they had two sevens, two seventeen 532 00:28:33,160 --> 00:28:38,760 Speaker 1: and two thirty three. So flash ahead, second round forty one. 533 00:28:39,160 --> 00:28:42,720 Speaker 1: Texans are on the clock and they're on the clock 534 00:28:42,760 --> 00:28:46,760 Speaker 1: in that spot because they had traded with Baltimore from 535 00:28:46,840 --> 00:28:49,959 Speaker 1: New England, and New England wound up taken at thirty 536 00:28:50,040 --> 00:28:53,880 Speaker 1: six Eugene Wilson, a cornerback who would later become a Texans. 537 00:28:54,200 --> 00:28:56,960 Speaker 1: But the Texans are forty one. They wound up taking 538 00:28:57,000 --> 00:29:01,080 Speaker 1: Benny Joprew that day. Yeah, but there were some good 539 00:29:01,080 --> 00:29:03,520 Speaker 1: players I think they could have taken instead. And you 540 00:29:03,520 --> 00:29:05,760 Speaker 1: know what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna have the Texans 541 00:29:05,760 --> 00:29:09,280 Speaker 1: take defensive end outside linebacker ocu Manjora, who went at 542 00:29:09,280 --> 00:29:12,400 Speaker 1: fifty six, fifteen picks later, and I'm gonna put him 543 00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:14,640 Speaker 1: on that defensive front, which was pretty darn good. Yea, brothers, 544 00:29:14,760 --> 00:29:16,400 Speaker 1: those are good defenses in the early days of the 545 00:29:16,400 --> 00:29:19,720 Speaker 1: Houston Texans franchise. But I'm gonna add to that with Ocumnora, 546 00:29:20,240 --> 00:29:22,600 Speaker 1: guy that was a pro bowler with the New York Giants, 547 00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:25,240 Speaker 1: was part of that two thousand and seven squad with 548 00:29:25,360 --> 00:29:28,240 Speaker 1: stray Hand that got after Tom Brady in the Super Bowl. 549 00:29:28,880 --> 00:29:30,880 Speaker 1: Osi Umnjor would have been a really good pick. Now 550 00:29:30,960 --> 00:29:33,360 Speaker 1: jem Bnny Jopper was the pick, and Chopper was a 551 00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:34,960 Speaker 1: tight end. I got a feeling I know what you're 552 00:29:34,960 --> 00:29:36,520 Speaker 1: gonna do with the third round pick. Yeah, and you 553 00:29:36,560 --> 00:29:39,480 Speaker 1: know exactly what you're gonna do by taking Lemnor. I 554 00:29:39,520 --> 00:29:42,280 Speaker 1: passed on Bolden, but yeah, but you already drafted out 555 00:29:42,280 --> 00:29:44,640 Speaker 1: to John Zac Now I could I could see you 556 00:29:44,760 --> 00:29:49,680 Speaker 1: doing that just just looking at looking at what you 557 00:29:49,800 --> 00:29:53,920 Speaker 1: had available to you after the Texans pick. That's probably 558 00:29:53,920 --> 00:29:58,320 Speaker 1: I mean Ocium and yours. Probably he's probably the best 559 00:29:58,360 --> 00:30:01,080 Speaker 1: pick outside n KWA Bolden. But again, because you drafted 560 00:30:01,120 --> 00:30:04,080 Speaker 1: Andre Johnson, I'm set you probably you probably could go 561 00:30:04,080 --> 00:30:06,640 Speaker 1: in that direction. So you could have also drafted, but 562 00:30:06,680 --> 00:30:08,320 Speaker 1: it would not have made it as much sense because 563 00:30:08,320 --> 00:30:10,880 Speaker 1: you had Gary Walker and you had Seth Payne. You 564 00:30:10,920 --> 00:30:13,320 Speaker 1: could have looked at Corey Redding, who played at University 565 00:30:13,360 --> 00:30:15,280 Speaker 1: of Texas. He would have been good. Now, I don't 566 00:30:15,280 --> 00:30:18,160 Speaker 1: know that he would have fit Vic's defense all that well, 567 00:30:18,640 --> 00:30:20,840 Speaker 1: but he said you could player. You might have found us. 568 00:30:22,680 --> 00:30:24,240 Speaker 1: But you had Gary Walker and you had Seth Pain. 569 00:30:24,280 --> 00:30:26,960 Speaker 1: You were pretty solid at defensive tackle at least, so 570 00:30:27,120 --> 00:30:28,880 Speaker 1: I think human Or made a lot more sense. And 571 00:30:28,880 --> 00:30:31,080 Speaker 1: there was a guy who was picked right around there 572 00:30:31,120 --> 00:30:34,880 Speaker 1: who he would have made sense. Ken Hamlin, yes, wound 573 00:30:34,920 --> 00:30:37,400 Speaker 1: up making a Pro Bowl at safety, played pretty long 574 00:30:37,440 --> 00:30:39,320 Speaker 1: time in the league. He's he lives in the Houston area. 575 00:30:39,440 --> 00:30:41,960 Speaker 1: He would have been a nice pick. But Ken Hamlin, 576 00:30:42,080 --> 00:30:43,920 Speaker 1: but I'm still Goodness, I'm gonna roll with you, Manor, 577 00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:45,640 Speaker 1: just because of what he could do up front. Okay, 578 00:30:45,680 --> 00:30:48,160 Speaker 1: So that moves us on to the third round. The 579 00:30:48,200 --> 00:30:51,000 Speaker 1: first of the Texans third round picks was at sixty 580 00:30:51,080 --> 00:30:58,000 Speaker 1: seven overall and they took linebacker Antoine Peak. Uh. You know, now, 581 00:30:58,320 --> 00:31:01,560 Speaker 1: you could have taken linebacker or Lance Brigg who Briggs 582 00:31:01,560 --> 00:31:04,280 Speaker 1: who went one pick later sixty eighth overall to the Bears. 583 00:31:04,480 --> 00:31:07,640 Speaker 1: What a player player? Again, back to the point, you 584 00:31:07,760 --> 00:31:11,160 Speaker 1: probably if you had a strength it was at defensive tackle, 585 00:31:11,360 --> 00:31:13,320 Speaker 1: and it was a linebacker. You had Jay foreman. You 586 00:31:13,400 --> 00:31:16,440 Speaker 1: had Jamie Sharper, you had some dudes at linebacker, Kylie Wong, 587 00:31:16,840 --> 00:31:19,200 Speaker 1: so Bridge probably didn't make much sense. But the guy 588 00:31:19,280 --> 00:31:22,720 Speaker 1: picked after that, I picked number sixty nine. That's where 589 00:31:23,440 --> 00:31:26,960 Speaker 1: I went with Jason Witton, still in the league, still 590 00:31:27,040 --> 00:31:30,680 Speaker 1: playing tight end. Took a little hiatus to do some TV. 591 00:31:30,840 --> 00:31:34,280 Speaker 1: But god Lee, he was good. He was good. That's 592 00:31:34,280 --> 00:31:37,320 Speaker 1: so you have you plug in their third round sixty 593 00:31:37,320 --> 00:31:40,320 Speaker 1: seven overall. But hey, you're picking again John at seventy fifth. 594 00:31:40,760 --> 00:31:43,120 Speaker 1: And when the Texans did, they went with Seth Wand 595 00:31:43,560 --> 00:31:45,840 Speaker 1: at seventy fifth overall. He was a tackle out of 596 00:31:45,920 --> 00:31:49,240 Speaker 1: Northwest Missouri State. You know, if I'm gonna do it again, 597 00:31:50,520 --> 00:31:52,720 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with a Smith. I'm gonna go with 598 00:31:52,720 --> 00:31:55,800 Speaker 1: the Smith that we know and we love. I'm gonna 599 00:31:55,840 --> 00:31:59,200 Speaker 1: go with Wade Smith, who was taking a few picks 600 00:31:59,280 --> 00:32:02,239 Speaker 1: later at the eighth overall by the Dolphins, and I'm 601 00:32:02,240 --> 00:32:04,880 Speaker 1: gonna plug him into that offensive line. Absolutely. He played 602 00:32:04,880 --> 00:32:07,160 Speaker 1: all over the place, wound up founding his finding his 603 00:32:07,200 --> 00:32:10,080 Speaker 1: home at left guard. Had Chester Pitts in the fold, 604 00:32:10,120 --> 00:32:11,920 Speaker 1: but you could have sorted it out, Yeah, Way could 605 00:32:11,960 --> 00:32:14,760 Speaker 1: have played somewhere else or chair Chester played somewhere else. 606 00:32:14,840 --> 00:32:17,080 Speaker 1: It wasn't as it wasn't as if your front five 607 00:32:17,320 --> 00:32:19,840 Speaker 1: was set anywhere, and Wade could have waited. As Brian 608 00:32:19,880 --> 00:32:21,360 Speaker 1: Ganne said, he was a four whole player. Mean, you 609 00:32:21,360 --> 00:32:24,000 Speaker 1: can't played anywhere up and down the line. And he 610 00:32:24,040 --> 00:32:26,080 Speaker 1: was drafted as a tackle, but eventually, like you said, 611 00:32:26,080 --> 00:32:29,520 Speaker 1: found his home at guard. So that that would have 612 00:32:29,560 --> 00:32:31,480 Speaker 1: made that would have made a lot of sense. I 613 00:32:31,480 --> 00:32:33,800 Speaker 1: was gonna speed up the clock eight years ahead and 614 00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:36,120 Speaker 1: get him getting get him here already. Yeah, we let 615 00:32:36,200 --> 00:32:38,240 Speaker 1: him spend the whole career here. It's right. He would 616 00:32:38,240 --> 00:32:41,120 Speaker 1: have been a great all time Texan came out. So hey, hey, 617 00:32:41,120 --> 00:32:43,720 Speaker 1: we we're picking an eighty eighth now, John, Now this 618 00:32:43,800 --> 00:32:47,160 Speaker 1: is where it gets kind of goofy. Eighty eighth overall. 619 00:32:47,200 --> 00:32:53,160 Speaker 1: The Texans took they were gone quarterback from Louisville and 620 00:32:53,600 --> 00:32:57,800 Speaker 1: didn't work. That did not work. So instead, you know 621 00:32:57,800 --> 00:33:01,280 Speaker 1: what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna get a guy who 622 00:33:01,600 --> 00:33:03,440 Speaker 1: played a long time in the league and played pretty 623 00:33:03,480 --> 00:33:07,360 Speaker 1: darn well, and I'm gonna get a cornerback, Sante Samuel, 624 00:33:07,400 --> 00:33:09,600 Speaker 1: who wound up going to the fourth round at one 625 00:33:09,680 --> 00:33:12,760 Speaker 1: hundred and twentieth overall. I'm gonna leap frog him over 626 00:33:12,800 --> 00:33:15,560 Speaker 1: some others and I'm gonna take him. I think it's 627 00:33:15,560 --> 00:33:17,800 Speaker 1: a good move. I think it's a very good move. 628 00:33:18,320 --> 00:33:22,240 Speaker 1: Just looking at Wow, I mean it starts. Yeah, you 629 00:33:22,320 --> 00:33:24,080 Speaker 1: mean you can look, you get to the fourth round, 630 00:33:24,640 --> 00:33:27,080 Speaker 1: and if you find a player every other year in 631 00:33:27,120 --> 00:33:29,800 Speaker 1: the fourth round, you gotta you should feel good about that. 632 00:33:29,840 --> 00:33:32,720 Speaker 1: I mean, the fourth round is it's it's an interesting 633 00:33:32,800 --> 00:33:37,160 Speaker 1: round because in round three a lot of times you 634 00:33:37,360 --> 00:33:40,640 Speaker 1: find some guys that were first round talents, but there's 635 00:33:40,760 --> 00:33:43,240 Speaker 1: there's a red flag for whatever reason, be a medical, 636 00:33:43,600 --> 00:33:46,320 Speaker 1: be it football character, be it off the field issues, 637 00:33:47,200 --> 00:33:49,800 Speaker 1: some something's taken play. I mean, there's there's some red 638 00:33:49,840 --> 00:33:53,000 Speaker 1: flag that has presumably dropped the guy to the third round. 639 00:33:53,200 --> 00:33:55,120 Speaker 1: Or it's a guy in the third round that has 640 00:33:55,280 --> 00:33:59,040 Speaker 1: one elite asset and it is elite, but you just 641 00:33:59,320 --> 00:34:01,560 Speaker 1: haven't seen the full picture coming to view. Once you 642 00:34:01,560 --> 00:34:03,800 Speaker 1: get to the fourth round. Now you're kind of in 643 00:34:03,840 --> 00:34:08,000 Speaker 1: between that and sometimes you're just taking you know what, 644 00:34:08,120 --> 00:34:10,680 Speaker 1: this guy's a really good football player, but he's just 645 00:34:10,719 --> 00:34:13,640 Speaker 1: not fast enough. Yeah, or he's a little smaller, but 646 00:34:13,719 --> 00:34:15,520 Speaker 1: you know what, we really like him. He's a solid 647 00:34:15,560 --> 00:34:17,600 Speaker 1: football player. But a lot of times you just don't 648 00:34:17,680 --> 00:34:19,919 Speaker 1: hit in the fourth round out players. But the Texans did. 649 00:34:20,040 --> 00:34:23,480 Speaker 1: But the next pick s well, Asante Samuel, he was 650 00:34:23,480 --> 00:34:25,759 Speaker 1: your third rounder, your last of your third round, wound 651 00:34:25,800 --> 00:34:28,440 Speaker 1: up picking off fifty one passes in his career, played 652 00:34:28,480 --> 00:34:30,360 Speaker 1: a decade in the league. But there's one that he 653 00:34:30,560 --> 00:34:33,279 Speaker 1: didn't pick six. There's one that he didn't get that. 654 00:34:33,400 --> 00:34:35,759 Speaker 1: Still to this day, Patriots fans are like, we'd have 655 00:34:35,760 --> 00:34:39,600 Speaker 1: had seven championships, we had seven rings of Asante Samuel 656 00:34:39,600 --> 00:34:43,000 Speaker 1: catches an interception against the Giants. I'd still put him 657 00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:45,439 Speaker 1: in that defensive backfield Texas. I'm with you. Okay, So 658 00:34:45,960 --> 00:34:49,000 Speaker 1: you're talking about the fourth round pick one oh one overall, Yeah, 659 00:34:49,120 --> 00:34:53,920 Speaker 1: Texans took Dominic Davis running back one oh one overall 660 00:34:54,040 --> 00:34:57,440 Speaker 1: out of LSU. I'm not changing. He was good, man, 661 00:34:57,480 --> 00:34:59,919 Speaker 1: he was really really good. Goes by Dominic Williams now 662 00:35:00,520 --> 00:35:05,400 Speaker 1: double D's though he was good, he was overused. I 663 00:35:05,440 --> 00:35:09,400 Speaker 1: think he was really good. He's I think he's behind 664 00:35:09,440 --> 00:35:12,440 Speaker 1: Arian Foster's the best running back in team history. Oh, 665 00:35:12,480 --> 00:35:14,759 Speaker 1: I absolutely agree with you. Yeah, Unfortunately it was just 666 00:35:14,800 --> 00:35:16,960 Speaker 1: for such a short period. I think that that was 667 00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:20,360 Speaker 1: the that was the thing that was so bothersome because 668 00:35:20,360 --> 00:35:24,360 Speaker 1: he was he was really Yeah, look Arian, look at 669 00:35:24,360 --> 00:35:27,400 Speaker 1: it from this perspective too. Arian played two games in 670 00:35:27,440 --> 00:35:29,440 Speaker 1: two thousand and nine, burst on the scene in two 671 00:35:29,320 --> 00:35:31,840 Speaker 1: thousand and ten, and then it was in two thousand 672 00:35:31,880 --> 00:35:36,239 Speaker 1: and fifteen when he tours Achilles. He came back for 673 00:35:36,239 --> 00:35:37,840 Speaker 1: a little bit in twenty sixteen, but that was it. 674 00:35:38,640 --> 00:35:43,040 Speaker 1: So his career went from oh nine to to really 675 00:35:43,280 --> 00:35:48,359 Speaker 1: really fifteen half of fifteen really, and Davis was even 676 00:35:48,520 --> 00:35:50,880 Speaker 1: I think Dominic was even shorter than that that I 677 00:35:50,880 --> 00:35:52,480 Speaker 1: could think of, because by the time I got here 678 00:35:52,520 --> 00:35:54,640 Speaker 1: in two thousand and seven, he was done right and 679 00:35:54,760 --> 00:35:57,520 Speaker 1: it was such a shame because he was so exceptionally good. 680 00:35:57,880 --> 00:36:01,000 Speaker 1: Now that was a pick one on one. Then the 681 00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:04,319 Speaker 1: Texans don't pick for a while. They don't, but do 682 00:36:04,320 --> 00:36:06,640 Speaker 1: you know what they do. They pick in the sixth round. 683 00:36:06,719 --> 00:36:10,200 Speaker 1: One ninety two overall is their next pick. Hold on. 684 00:36:10,520 --> 00:36:12,080 Speaker 1: There's Now there's one other thing if you want to 685 00:36:12,080 --> 00:36:15,400 Speaker 1: do truly revisionist history, and this is where this year's 686 00:36:15,440 --> 00:36:19,759 Speaker 1: team and that year's team is connected. Because pick one 687 00:36:19,960 --> 00:36:23,239 Speaker 1: seven would have been one seventy six. The Texans forfeited 688 00:36:23,360 --> 00:36:25,600 Speaker 1: because of the supplemental draft, right, and who did they 689 00:36:25,640 --> 00:36:29,920 Speaker 1: take in that supplemental draft? Tony Hollings. Now, why is 690 00:36:29,920 --> 00:36:32,440 Speaker 1: there a connection? Why? I guess who was runnings back? 691 00:36:32,760 --> 00:36:35,439 Speaker 1: His runnings back running backs coach was at Georgia Tech 692 00:36:35,560 --> 00:36:38,359 Speaker 1: who wasn't And the offensive coordinator at the same time 693 00:36:38,520 --> 00:36:43,560 Speaker 1: was Bill O'Brien. Wow, so they pick you Ever talked 694 00:36:43,560 --> 00:36:46,360 Speaker 1: with Obrian about Tony Hollings. I think I have, like 695 00:36:46,440 --> 00:36:48,600 Speaker 1: way way way back in the day, like when Hollings 696 00:36:48,680 --> 00:36:51,839 Speaker 1: was actually at Georgia Tech. Now, before Tony Hollings got hurt, 697 00:36:52,080 --> 00:36:55,480 Speaker 1: he was a nasty, nasty dude. I mean, I'm telling you, 698 00:36:55,520 --> 00:36:57,640 Speaker 1: one of the better running backs I saw in college football. 699 00:36:57,960 --> 00:36:59,840 Speaker 1: Then he got hurt and I don't remember exactly what 700 00:36:59,880 --> 00:37:01,160 Speaker 1: it was that he got hurt. I want to say 701 00:37:01,200 --> 00:37:04,480 Speaker 1: it was a knee. I can't remember. But that year 702 00:37:05,680 --> 00:37:07,920 Speaker 1: two thousand to whatever tooth, I think it was two 703 00:37:07,960 --> 00:37:11,120 Speaker 1: thousand maybe the year he came back, he was just 704 00:37:11,200 --> 00:37:13,840 Speaker 1: kind of a grinder, you know, he wasn't He wasn't 705 00:37:13,840 --> 00:37:15,560 Speaker 1: the same guy. I don't think he ever got back 706 00:37:15,560 --> 00:37:18,160 Speaker 1: to being the same guy he was before he was injured. 707 00:37:18,520 --> 00:37:22,040 Speaker 1: But if Tony Hollegs had been healthy it would have 708 00:37:22,040 --> 00:37:24,080 Speaker 1: been pretty interesting to see with what he and Don 709 00:37:24,200 --> 00:37:26,800 Speaker 1: McDavis and the two would have would have helped themselves, 710 00:37:27,600 --> 00:37:29,399 Speaker 1: and who knows where it goes from there. But then again, 711 00:37:29,440 --> 00:37:31,400 Speaker 1: if Tony Hollegs is healthy, he's not going to the 712 00:37:31,400 --> 00:37:34,520 Speaker 1: sixth round of supplemental draft in two thousand and two, right, 713 00:37:35,040 --> 00:37:39,839 Speaker 1: So that just one ninety two, the Texans took quarterback 714 00:37:41,600 --> 00:37:45,080 Speaker 1: Drew Henson out of Michigan, but really by way of 715 00:37:45,080 --> 00:37:47,640 Speaker 1: the New York Yankees. Yeah, and you know what, John, 716 00:37:47,880 --> 00:37:49,879 Speaker 1: I'm gonna keep that pick. I'm gonna take that pick 717 00:37:49,920 --> 00:37:52,799 Speaker 1: because they wound up flipping him to the Cowboys for 718 00:37:52,880 --> 00:37:56,560 Speaker 1: two thousand and five third round pick, which they spent 719 00:37:56,640 --> 00:37:59,680 Speaker 1: on another running back at seventy third overall, in Vernon Morenzy. 720 00:37:59,800 --> 00:38:02,840 Speaker 1: Had They've just taken the guy after Vernon, which is 721 00:38:02,840 --> 00:38:05,240 Speaker 1: what I'm gonna do in this scenario. So two years beyond, 722 00:38:06,360 --> 00:38:09,440 Speaker 1: I'm gonna take Justin Tuck, defensive end out of Notre 723 00:38:09,520 --> 00:38:11,560 Speaker 1: Dame who went to the Giants. I'm gonna put him 724 00:38:11,600 --> 00:38:15,080 Speaker 1: up front, one pick after Vernon Morenzy. You know what's 725 00:38:15,080 --> 00:38:19,719 Speaker 1: interesting about that Justin Tuck pick that Giants draft was 726 00:38:19,760 --> 00:38:22,879 Speaker 1: the one after Eli and the Giants had to give 727 00:38:22,960 --> 00:38:25,680 Speaker 1: up a lot of that draft. So the Giants only 728 00:38:25,760 --> 00:38:29,359 Speaker 1: had like four draft picks in two thousand and five. 729 00:38:29,400 --> 00:38:31,680 Speaker 1: And Tuck, I don't know if he was the first 730 00:38:31,680 --> 00:38:34,920 Speaker 1: one they made. He might have been, but he was 731 00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:37,799 Speaker 1: one of only four guys. But it was Tuck, it 732 00:38:37,840 --> 00:38:41,480 Speaker 1: was Corey Webster. There was a defensive end named Moore 733 00:38:42,040 --> 00:38:44,360 Speaker 1: out of Florida State and he was the one that 734 00:38:44,440 --> 00:38:46,160 Speaker 1: really didn't make an impact. And then there was a 735 00:38:46,200 --> 00:38:48,000 Speaker 1: fourth one. I'm trying to remember who that FLA. I'll 736 00:38:48,000 --> 00:38:49,920 Speaker 1: tell you who it was. They went with Corey Webster 737 00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:53,000 Speaker 1: in the second. Ye, really good pick, Justin Tuck in 738 00:38:53,080 --> 00:38:56,560 Speaker 1: the third. Yeah, really good pick. Oh you forgot thunder 739 00:38:56,760 --> 00:38:59,960 Speaker 1: Brandon Jacob's right, that's really good pick. Yeah yeah, yeah yeah, 740 00:39:00,080 --> 00:39:03,880 Speaker 1: Eric Moore, Eric Moore. Yep. That was four picks for 741 00:39:03,960 --> 00:39:06,799 Speaker 1: the Giants in that draft, beyond Eli Manny and I 742 00:39:06,800 --> 00:39:09,640 Speaker 1: remember they when they did America's Game in two thousand 743 00:39:09,640 --> 00:39:14,160 Speaker 1: and seven, they showed a picture of Tom Coughlin. They 744 00:39:14,160 --> 00:39:16,240 Speaker 1: were like, here's the two thousand and five draft class 745 00:39:16,280 --> 00:39:19,080 Speaker 1: and it's this tiny little this is title of picture. 746 00:39:19,360 --> 00:39:21,920 Speaker 1: It's just three you. It's like two of them, two 747 00:39:21,960 --> 00:39:24,360 Speaker 1: of them, that Coughlin in the middle, and it's like, wow, 748 00:39:24,440 --> 00:39:26,920 Speaker 1: pound and excellent draft. That draft pass was as good 749 00:39:26,920 --> 00:39:28,319 Speaker 1: as it guy, and there was only there were only 750 00:39:28,320 --> 00:39:30,920 Speaker 1: four of them. So yeah, justin Tuck coming coming here 751 00:39:30,960 --> 00:39:33,040 Speaker 1: would have been would have been very very nice. I 752 00:39:33,080 --> 00:39:35,400 Speaker 1: see what you're doing there. You stayed with Drew Henson 753 00:39:35,480 --> 00:39:39,280 Speaker 1: so you could spin him and you would have taken Wow, okay, 754 00:39:39,480 --> 00:39:41,360 Speaker 1: you're doing I'm doing some good things. I like what 755 00:39:41,400 --> 00:39:46,319 Speaker 1: you're doing. All right. That moves us ahead to our 756 00:39:46,400 --> 00:39:50,080 Speaker 1: sixth round pick. At two one four, Texans took something 757 00:39:50,160 --> 00:39:56,760 Speaker 1: called a Keith wrighte like you said, something called yeah, okay, 758 00:39:56,880 --> 00:40:02,839 Speaker 1: defensive tackle from Missouri who ultimately really never did too much. 759 00:40:04,840 --> 00:40:08,080 Speaker 1: He was I don't remember practice squad guy. I mean 760 00:40:08,120 --> 00:40:11,520 Speaker 1: he's he never played it down for the Texans. Yeah, 761 00:40:11,560 --> 00:40:14,200 Speaker 1: So instead of him, I'm gonna take a guy an 762 00:40:14,320 --> 00:40:18,440 Speaker 1: undrafted free agent named Chris Dealman. He was a guard 763 00:40:18,480 --> 00:40:22,239 Speaker 1: out of Indiana. Wound up playing for the Chargers for 764 00:40:22,320 --> 00:40:25,160 Speaker 1: about eight nine years. He was a four time Pro bowler, 765 00:40:25,360 --> 00:40:28,600 Speaker 1: two times second team All Pro. Really good guard, another 766 00:40:28,640 --> 00:40:30,759 Speaker 1: good offensive lineman. Because what do you want to do? 767 00:40:30,760 --> 00:40:33,560 Speaker 1: You want to help David Carr up front. Yeah, I 768 00:40:33,960 --> 00:40:36,359 Speaker 1: going with Dealman, I think is a very good pick now. 769 00:40:36,480 --> 00:40:38,640 Speaker 1: Or do you want to help someone else up front 770 00:40:38,680 --> 00:40:41,040 Speaker 1: and just give me time here, John No, I think 771 00:40:41,760 --> 00:40:44,319 Speaker 1: I think you. I think you did the right thing 772 00:40:45,040 --> 00:40:50,080 Speaker 1: and taking Keith Wright off your board and taking Chris Dealman, 773 00:40:50,080 --> 00:40:51,800 Speaker 1: I think I would have been without have been a whale, 774 00:40:51,800 --> 00:40:54,880 Speaker 1: a sixth round pick, by the way, you want another whale? Okay? 775 00:40:55,200 --> 00:40:58,560 Speaker 1: Because the Texans had two seventh rounders, yeah yeah, two 776 00:40:58,640 --> 00:41:01,440 Speaker 1: seventeen overall was their next and on that one they 777 00:41:01,480 --> 00:41:05,680 Speaker 1: went with Curry Burns. One of the greatest tight ends 778 00:41:06,040 --> 00:41:09,839 Speaker 1: in NFL history was not drafted in that draft. He 779 00:41:09,880 --> 00:41:12,600 Speaker 1: was a rookie, undrafted free agent, and his name was 780 00:41:12,640 --> 00:41:16,000 Speaker 1: Antonio Gates. Oh yeah, so you've already got Jason Witten 781 00:41:16,360 --> 00:41:19,120 Speaker 1: and you've already got Andre Johnson. But let's have some 782 00:41:19,440 --> 00:41:22,279 Speaker 1: let's have a nightmarish tight end matchup, and let's take 783 00:41:22,320 --> 00:41:25,200 Speaker 1: Antonio Gates instead of curry Burns. Because you passed on 784 00:41:25,320 --> 00:41:29,840 Speaker 1: Benny Jopru yes earlier, because in the second round you 785 00:41:29,880 --> 00:41:32,040 Speaker 1: were able to get who'd you get in the second round? 786 00:41:32,800 --> 00:41:35,600 Speaker 1: Took Ocum in Europe, you took human or yeah, so 787 00:41:35,600 --> 00:41:38,200 Speaker 1: you passed on jopru. So now you need now you 788 00:41:38,280 --> 00:41:42,279 Speaker 1: need a tight end for David Carr or with our 789 00:41:42,360 --> 00:41:47,040 Speaker 1: last seventh rob pick the two hundred thirty third overall pick, 790 00:41:47,560 --> 00:41:49,960 Speaker 1: which the Texans used on Texas A and M center 791 00:41:50,080 --> 00:41:53,360 Speaker 1: Chance Pierce, who doesn't even have a Wikipedia page, So 792 00:41:53,640 --> 00:41:56,279 Speaker 1: that tells you still offense. Listen, I don't have a 793 00:41:56,320 --> 00:41:59,480 Speaker 1: Wikipedia page. Chance Pierce has accomplished far more than I 794 00:41:59,480 --> 00:42:02,160 Speaker 1: ever could. I'm not saying that, but he just never 795 00:42:02,200 --> 00:42:04,160 Speaker 1: saw the field for the Texans. So instead of that, 796 00:42:04,880 --> 00:42:09,319 Speaker 1: that's the seventh round. You know, we didn't take the 797 00:42:09,440 --> 00:42:13,000 Speaker 1: quarterback David Gone like we we're gonna but we did 798 00:42:13,000 --> 00:42:16,040 Speaker 1: take Drew Henson. But he's got that baseball stuff going on, 799 00:42:16,320 --> 00:42:19,080 Speaker 1: So what the hell, let's take another quarterback. Let's take 800 00:42:19,080 --> 00:42:23,839 Speaker 1: a flyer on this guy named Antonio Ramiro Romo. I'm 801 00:42:23,840 --> 00:42:26,479 Speaker 1: telling you that was really fun. And then a little 802 00:42:26,480 --> 00:42:28,319 Speaker 1: bit more to the podcast show here kind of the 803 00:42:28,360 --> 00:42:30,200 Speaker 1: different roll. Hey, if you made this move, then in 804 00:42:30,239 --> 00:42:31,600 Speaker 1: two thousand and four you could have made this move, 805 00:42:31,640 --> 00:42:32,879 Speaker 1: and then two thousand and seven you could have made 806 00:42:32,920 --> 00:42:35,040 Speaker 1: this move.
