1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:03,880
Speaker 1: Hello, Texans, Welcome to the show. Hope everybody's weekend is

2
00:00:03,880 --> 00:00:05,720
Speaker 1: getting off to a good start. No matter what you're doing,

3
00:00:05,760 --> 00:00:07,240
Speaker 1: many of you are working, and I always like to

4
00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:09,479
Speaker 1: highlight that, Johnny, I always like to highlight the people

5
00:00:09,520 --> 00:00:13,480
Speaker 1: who are working throughout the weekend, either paying their dues

6
00:00:13,560 --> 00:00:15,440
Speaker 1: or this is just what they do, they work on

7
00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:17,640
Speaker 1: the weekend. Hey, we're here tonight. I don't want to

8
00:00:17,680 --> 00:00:20,319
Speaker 1: call it work. We're talking about football. It's super cool.

9
00:00:20,360 --> 00:00:23,840
Speaker 1: We're super blessed to be able to do this. And

10
00:00:24,079 --> 00:00:27,680
Speaker 1: camp starts on Wednesday. We've reminded you of that very often.

11
00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:30,640
Speaker 1: If you don't know that by now, camp starts on Wednesday,

12
00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:34,400
Speaker 1: So players report Tuesday. Here we go, it's here. It's

13
00:00:34,440 --> 00:00:37,720
Speaker 1: football season. A couple of teams are already in camp,

14
00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:40,279
Speaker 1: and by next week everybody's going to be doing it.

15
00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:43,199
Speaker 1: So I can't wait. I know you feel the same way,

16
00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:44,360
Speaker 1: my friend. Yeah.

17
00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:46,440
Speaker 2: Absolutely, And you're starting to see and this is always

18
00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:48,920
Speaker 2: one of the things that we talk about. You know,

19
00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:52,760
Speaker 2: the day before, two days before, which guys are going

20
00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:55,000
Speaker 2: to end up on NFI, which guys are going to

21
00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:57,840
Speaker 2: end up on the pup list. You know that start

22
00:00:57,880 --> 00:01:01,240
Speaker 2: the year and I remember obviously there was a long

23
00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:04,840
Speaker 2: narrative and it was a loud narrative of oh man,

24
00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:07,959
Speaker 2: Christian Harris is on this pop list. You know, it'll

25
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:10,800
Speaker 2: be okay, it'll be fine. And well that turned into

26
00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:12,880
Speaker 2: he came back after the first preseason game for like

27
00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:14,680
Speaker 2: thirty minutes of practice and then we didn't see him

28
00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:16,400
Speaker 2: again until they were like four games left in the year.

29
00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:19,520
Speaker 2: But those lists are always interesting because a guy can

30
00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:22,319
Speaker 2: be on there from not pass a conditioning test and

31
00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:24,360
Speaker 2: the next day he's off and he's fine. You know,

32
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:26,640
Speaker 2: it could be you know, something that lingers. You know,

33
00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:29,440
Speaker 2: obviously something happened to Christian last year. But that's always

34
00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:33,039
Speaker 2: the list that I'm always interested in seeing because you know,

35
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:34,520
Speaker 2: it tells you what might have happened in the last

36
00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:36,679
Speaker 2: five weeks while the guys were away from the building.

37
00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:40,119
Speaker 2: And hopefully it won't be a situation like Najie Harris

38
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:41,520
Speaker 2: is going to be out for a while because of

39
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:45,160
Speaker 2: fireworks incident or whatever he had. But that's always the

40
00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:48,200
Speaker 2: list that I'm always clamoring to see, Like, Okay, when

41
00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:50,240
Speaker 2: is that coming out? I don't really want to see it,

42
00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:52,480
Speaker 2: but all right, we got to know who is it

43
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:54,840
Speaker 2: that won't be practicing at the beginning of the year,

44
00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:56,920
Speaker 2: and there are always going to be guys that are

45
00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:00,920
Speaker 2: kind of ramping up their availability. You know, they might

46
00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:03,160
Speaker 2: not practice the first day, but they know the next

47
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:05,160
Speaker 2: couple they might. They might be you know, guys they've

48
00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:08,240
Speaker 2: got some season vets on this team now that might need,

49
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:10,560
Speaker 2: you know, training camp to be a little bit of

50
00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:14,360
Speaker 2: a what's the right way of saying this kind of

51
00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:17,440
Speaker 2: show and tell, but not every day like they show

52
00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:19,359
Speaker 2: and they tell everybody I'm still good. Then they get

53
00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:21,600
Speaker 2: a day off and you'll kind of get through training

54
00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:25,480
Speaker 2: camp that way. And I'm a firm believer Mark that, yes,

55
00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:29,040
Speaker 2: it's a period of time, but training camp is so

56
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:32,840
Speaker 2: grueling that it does have an impact on you in November,

57
00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:36,480
Speaker 2: in December and on itto January. And I really think

58
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:40,400
Speaker 2: understanding that it's a marathon not a sprint is something

59
00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:42,800
Speaker 2: that this staff takes a lot of great pride in,

60
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:45,280
Speaker 2: try to stay pride in, but you know, you got

61
00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:47,000
Speaker 2: to get work done too, So there's kind of that

62
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:49,000
Speaker 2: balance you got to find to be able to do

63
00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:51,520
Speaker 2: that and hopefully to meet going this coaching staff will

64
00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:52,120
Speaker 2: be able to do that.

65
00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:56,440
Speaker 1: Matt Najee Harris with the fireworks, saying, this reminds me

66
00:02:56,800 --> 00:03:01,160
Speaker 1: around the fourth we had some fireworks stuff that was

67
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:03,960
Speaker 1: purchased by the matriarch of the household. Let's be clear

68
00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:08,119
Speaker 1: on this, And I was not I was not going

69
00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:09,840
Speaker 1: to take part in this, but I felt like I

70
00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:14,000
Speaker 1: have to because the kids all want to see this stuff, right,

71
00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:16,720
Speaker 1: And it's the stuff that you buy. And my big

72
00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:19,160
Speaker 1: objection is and I could not have gotten farther away

73
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:21,280
Speaker 1: and behind a car and stuff like that, which is

74
00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:25,640
Speaker 1: still not safe, right, But it's just pretty harmless stuff anyway.

75
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:27,799
Speaker 1: But you know, these things are big and you light

76
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:29,360
Speaker 1: them up, and I don't know what this thing's going

77
00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:32,560
Speaker 1: to do, and there's nobody to sue if something goes wrong,

78
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:35,360
Speaker 1: And if something really goes wrong, what does that matter anyway,

79
00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:37,920
Speaker 1: if you'll lose a few filangies in the process.

80
00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:39,400
Speaker 2: So I don't know.

81
00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:42,760
Speaker 1: I'm not big on the home fireworks stuff. I do

82
00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:47,080
Speaker 1: like the exhibitions that are displayed by cities, although somebody

83
00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:50,160
Speaker 1: made a good hot take around the fourth These drone

84
00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:54,840
Speaker 1: shows are out doing the fireworks. They're totally outdoing firework shows.

85
00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:57,440
Speaker 1: It is so cool what you could do with drones,

86
00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:00,600
Speaker 1: fantastic displays. Anyway, I know we didn't come here to

87
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:03,880
Speaker 1: talk about that. We didn't come here to talk about

88
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:08,760
Speaker 1: this camp disruptors. Who are the guys, the flies and

89
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:12,240
Speaker 1: the ointment. Oh yeah, everybody's got their fifty three man

90
00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:15,520
Speaker 1: roster projection, and I've this many receivers and this many

91
00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:18,560
Speaker 1: defensive linemen and these are the obvious guys. But who

92
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:20,599
Speaker 1: are the guys who aren't so obvious? Who are going

93
00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:24,960
Speaker 1: to crash the party possibly and make life extremely difficult

94
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:28,520
Speaker 1: on Nick Cassario and Demico Ryan's come cut down time,

95
00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:31,120
Speaker 1: especially if everybody's healthy. What are we going to do

96
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:34,920
Speaker 1: about this guy? He crashed the party? So let's start

97
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:38,160
Speaker 1: and we'll go through various position groups here. I know

98
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:40,839
Speaker 1: who your guy is going to be for this first group,

99
00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:43,640
Speaker 1: but I want to hear it. Anyway, We've talked about

100
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:47,160
Speaker 1: him numerous times. Let's go wide receiver. Who's going to

101
00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:51,640
Speaker 1: crash the party at wide receiver and make life extremely difficult?

102
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:56,080
Speaker 1: The camp disruptor at wide receiver? Catch after cash, Oh

103
00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:59,520
Speaker 1: my gosh, impossible not to notice. We can't stash him anywhere.

104
00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:01,880
Speaker 1: We got make a tough decision. Who is it? Johnny

105
00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:03,080
Speaker 1: Well you know.

106
00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:05,960
Speaker 2: It's Jared Wayne. That's a guy we've been talking about.

107
00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:07,560
Speaker 2: In fact that it popped up the other night. We

108
00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:11,159
Speaker 2: were talking with with John McClain about, you know, the

109
00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:17,600
Speaker 2: receiver position, and on paper, I mean, you said it, Nico,

110
00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:24,120
Speaker 2: Christian Kirk, Justin Watson, three cyclones. If you were betting

111
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:26,680
Speaker 2: on six, that's a pretty good bet that that's going

112
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:30,000
Speaker 2: to be the six. But Jared Wayne got a lot

113
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:32,640
Speaker 2: of reps in the playoffs last year, especially in the

114
00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:34,240
Speaker 2: Kansas City game. Now, I know a lot of people

115
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:35,520
Speaker 2: are like, well, you know, he didn't catch the ball.

116
00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:37,960
Speaker 2: I didn't do this, didn't do that. But if you

117
00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:40,400
Speaker 2: watched that game and you listen, and I one day

118
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:42,839
Speaker 2: I let the game just roll. I just had it

119
00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:45,120
Speaker 2: on in the background, and so I'm listening to Joe

120
00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:48,920
Speaker 2: and Troy and there was a pass attempt to Jared

121
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:51,200
Speaker 2: and CJ got heated up and so he threw it

122
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:53,719
Speaker 2: behind Jared and could make the catch. But the camera

123
00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:55,760
Speaker 2: focused on Jared for a long time, and then they

124
00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:58,560
Speaker 2: talked about what the coaches were telling them about Jared

125
00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:03,640
Speaker 2: Wayne and guy six 's four, he's two ten. That

126
00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:06,520
Speaker 2: doesn't sound familiar. Then you're not paying attention. You know,

127
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:10,279
Speaker 2: he's a small forward, he's Canadian, works his butt off

128
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:14,360
Speaker 2: and can make a lot of acrobatic catches. He's got

129
00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:16,760
Speaker 2: a huge catch radius. And when you start to think

130
00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:19,200
Speaker 2: you know what you have at wide receiver, all of

131
00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:21,360
Speaker 2: a sudden, number fourteen makes a catch and you're like, WHOA,

132
00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:24,320
Speaker 2: where'd that come from? Holy cow, he just most that dude.

133
00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:27,080
Speaker 2: Oh he just went deep on that guy. He went

134
00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:30,200
Speaker 2: up over that guy. There were times in OTAs where

135
00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:33,480
Speaker 2: he made catches and made a couple of catches, and in fact,

136
00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:34,840
Speaker 2: there was one he made in the day of the

137
00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:36,560
Speaker 2: media was not out there, but we were able to

138
00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:39,400
Speaker 2: be out there on that day and he went up

139
00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:41,800
Speaker 2: over a defensive back and I thought, man, that's the

140
00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:45,479
Speaker 2: best catch I've seen during this offseason period. Like this

141
00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:48,600
Speaker 2: is wow. This is gonna be a really difficult cut.

142
00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:52,599
Speaker 2: And I think that he with some really good joint

143
00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:58,039
Speaker 2: practice opportunities with the three preseason games, three true full

144
00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:01,520
Speaker 2: preseason game opportunities, because keep in mind, all three of

145
00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:05,360
Speaker 2: our preseason games are inside, so they cannot be disrupted

146
00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:07,800
Speaker 2: like the Hall of Fame game was last year. So

147
00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:11,360
Speaker 2: you got three true opportunities for preseason games. Two joint

148
00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:16,440
Speaker 2: practice opportunities. Jared Wayne's gonna make his presence felt because

149
00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:19,960
Speaker 2: here's what's gonna happen. Jared Wayne is gonna get reps

150
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:22,240
Speaker 2: against twos and threes at least to start.

151
00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:23,360
Speaker 1: Well.

152
00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:27,360
Speaker 2: I know the Texas secondary is really really good. I

153
00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:29,960
Speaker 2: don't know if it's as deep as it is could.

154
00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:32,640
Speaker 2: But also you're gonna start doing it against the Panthers,

155
00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:35,440
Speaker 2: the Vikings, the Lions, and he's really gonna have opportunities

156
00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:37,840
Speaker 2: to show it off. And that's gonna start kind of

157
00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:40,320
Speaker 2: the clamor. Remember British Brooks last year, British Brooks fell

158
00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:42,560
Speaker 2: into that. We saw him early and we're like, hey man,

159
00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:44,160
Speaker 2: keep it eye on British Brooks. Don't know how this

160
00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:46,640
Speaker 2: thing all fits together, but you can't deny what that

161
00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:49,320
Speaker 2: guy's doing. And then preseason game after preseason game, he

162
00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:50,280
Speaker 2: was really good.

163
00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:55,080
Speaker 1: That's the perfect camp disruptor right there, British Brooks. I'm

164
00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:58,239
Speaker 1: gonna pick Johnny Johnson maybe at receiver. And here's another one,

165
00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:01,640
Speaker 1: Braxton Barrios, who who has done some things in this league.

166
00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:04,160
Speaker 1: If he's healthy, he can all of a sudden start

167
00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:06,400
Speaker 1: bawling out and you're thinking, well, he's got experience, he's

168
00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:09,000
Speaker 1: Braxton Burrios. We get Alex Earl in the deal. No,

169
00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:12,280
Speaker 1: they don't think about those things, but they might think, hey,

170
00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:16,040
Speaker 1: it's impossible not to notice him. What he's doing on

171
00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:17,600
Speaker 1: this field. You know he can do it in a

172
00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:21,320
Speaker 1: game in all probability. Does he make life difficult? We'll

173
00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:25,240
Speaker 1: find out when camp begins. Another camp disruptor position group

174
00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:28,200
Speaker 1: and we're going to go over all of them running

175
00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:31,280
Speaker 1: back and I know who yours is. Go ahead, give

176
00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:34,400
Speaker 1: it to me, the running back camp disruptor who's going

177
00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:36,800
Speaker 1: to make life very difficult? Come cut down time.

178
00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:41,000
Speaker 2: Well, I mean everybody knows. I love what he marks

179
00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:43,079
Speaker 2: and what a he being a rookie. I don't know

180
00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:45,160
Speaker 2: if i'd say rookie is a disruptor. No, he's not.

181
00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:47,400
Speaker 1: He's not cooking. You know the guy you know who

182
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:48,040
Speaker 1: I'm thinking of.

183
00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:51,120
Speaker 2: I know, I'm just delaying the inevitable. That's JJ Taylor.

184
00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:56,240
Speaker 1: I thought you were gonna go, Jawar Jordan, I like you.

185
00:08:56,240 --> 00:09:00,120
Speaker 2: Are, absolutely like you are, but JJ Taylor went. He

186
00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:06,400
Speaker 2: gets his opportunities. He is flashy, he runs hard, he

187
00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:09,680
Speaker 2: makes people pay. I mean you could kind of put

188
00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:11,840
Speaker 2: juar and JJ in the same category in a sense,

189
00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:14,840
Speaker 2: they're just gonna do it different ways. Like JJ is

190
00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:17,880
Speaker 2: gonna do something, oh, you know, like he just hits somebody,

191
00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:20,760
Speaker 2: where Jaar is like, oh, Like there's a different kind

192
00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:23,440
Speaker 2: of reaction to the things that Juar will do. Juwar

193
00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:25,680
Speaker 2: is gonna probably, you know, with a jump cut, makes

194
00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:28,080
Speaker 2: somebody miss. He's gonna make a nice catch out in space.

195
00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:32,040
Speaker 2: JJ's probably gonna run through a tackler, you know, stiff

196
00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:34,600
Speaker 2: arm another guy he's just built like a bowling ball

197
00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:37,040
Speaker 2: butcher knives, So you could kind of put them both

198
00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:40,680
Speaker 2: in the same category. But I've seen and we've seen

199
00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:44,200
Speaker 2: JJ in preseason games and he lights it up and

200
00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:47,040
Speaker 2: the same kind of thing. JJ's not gonna get more

201
00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:50,080
Speaker 2: than likely reps against the other ones and maybe not

202
00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:51,839
Speaker 2: even the twos. So all of a sudden, you've got

203
00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:54,720
Speaker 2: this guy with a ton of NFL experience going against

204
00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:57,360
Speaker 2: threes and he could show it off. And I think

205
00:09:57,400 --> 00:09:59,640
Speaker 2: that's you know, when you're talking about disruption, that's what

206
00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:01,680
Speaker 2: you're tal talking about it, And I think JJ Taylor

207
00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:02,520
Speaker 2: definitely has that.

208
00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:02,840
Speaker 1: Now.

209
00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:04,760
Speaker 2: I love Juar, I just think they'll do it in

210
00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:05,560
Speaker 2: different ways.

211
00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:09,559
Speaker 1: I think Jawar, though With JJ, he's reliable, there's no

212
00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:12,640
Speaker 1: doubt you're right about everything you said. But with Jaar,

213
00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:15,200
Speaker 1: if he starts to do some things, you don't know

214
00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:17,200
Speaker 1: what the ceiling is. You feel like you know what

215
00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:19,960
Speaker 1: it is with JJ, and it's very reliable and you

216
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:22,720
Speaker 1: can count on it and all that. But with Jawar,

217
00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:25,160
Speaker 1: we don't know how good he's gonna be if he

218
00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:28,000
Speaker 1: starts to really make some noise in camp. So I

219
00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:31,480
Speaker 1: like him as a camp disruptor. I'll give you one,

220
00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:36,400
Speaker 1: all right, So I'm gonna go there quarterback Slovis, Baby,

221
00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:40,160
Speaker 1: Can he be a camp disruptor? What if Slovas looks

222
00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:41,960
Speaker 1: really good and all of a sudden, Davis is looking

223
00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:45,120
Speaker 1: over his shoulder. I'm not saying it's gonna happen, but

224
00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:48,960
Speaker 1: it could happen. Stranger things have happened. He could be

225
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:52,360
Speaker 1: a camp disruptor. I wouldn't predict it, but we'll all

226
00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:55,480
Speaker 1: be watching. Hey, we're gonna have the preseason games, we'll

227
00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:58,760
Speaker 1: be broadcasting them on radio and television, and we're gonna

228
00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:00,839
Speaker 1: get a chance to look at his progress.

229
00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:03,839
Speaker 2: Yeah. I don't know that there's any other I mean,

230
00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:05,959
Speaker 2: you can't really say anything about Graham Mertz. First of all,

231
00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:09,920
Speaker 2: you don't even know where Graham is with his ACL rehab,

232
00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:12,680
Speaker 2: so you can't throw Graham in there. And I you

233
00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:15,440
Speaker 2: know Davis Davis, I thought had a really good camp

234
00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:18,120
Speaker 2: last year. He didn't have a great OTAs mini camps,

235
00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:20,680
Speaker 2: and then he set out the last mini camp not throwing.

236
00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:26,319
Speaker 2: So I think from a quarterback perspective, that's probably the

237
00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:29,120
Speaker 2: logical one. So I think he's gonna get a lot

238
00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:32,160
Speaker 2: of looks early on, and you know he and Davis

239
00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:33,679
Speaker 2: are going to be more likely. They're gonna get a

240
00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:35,640
Speaker 2: lot of reps in those joint practices for sure, and

241
00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:37,200
Speaker 2: if they don't get them there, they're gonna get him

242
00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:39,120
Speaker 2: in the in the preseason games because you don't want

243
00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:41,800
Speaker 2: CJ playing that much and you don't know where Graham

244
00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:43,240
Speaker 2: Mertz is going to be in all this, so those

245
00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:45,360
Speaker 2: two might be carrying the preseason games for sure.

246
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:48,160
Speaker 1: I think Slowvis gets a ton of reps in the

247
00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:52,280
Speaker 1: preseason games, less in the joint practices, because CJ is

248
00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:54,040
Speaker 1: going to get his fair share, of course, because that's

249
00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:56,679
Speaker 1: what they're for to give the starters the reps. All right,

250
00:11:56,760 --> 00:11:59,480
Speaker 1: tight end, I don't think we have a disruptor here.

251
00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:05,280
Speaker 1: Other than and Luke Leche really emerging, He's a draft choice.

252
00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:08,679
Speaker 1: I hate to put rookies in as camp disruptor possibilities

253
00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:10,560
Speaker 1: because hey, they were drafted for a reason. You feel

254
00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:13,360
Speaker 1: like they can possibly contribute. I know he wasn't drafted high,

255
00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:17,520
Speaker 1: but he was drafted, so I'm thinking that it's probably him.

256
00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:19,920
Speaker 1: We know that Brev can do a lot of things

257
00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:21,640
Speaker 1: for this team. I think they have high hopes for

258
00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:24,360
Speaker 1: what he can contribute in twenty twenty five. But I'll

259
00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:26,439
Speaker 1: go with Lache for lack of a better option.

260
00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:29,959
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think you're right on it. There really isn't.

261
00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:33,360
Speaker 2: I mean, I think if you know, again, we don't

262
00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:37,000
Speaker 2: know what Brev's situation will be. We hope he's cleared,

263
00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:39,679
Speaker 2: but you know, Brev with the ACL, Graham Merch with

264
00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:41,240
Speaker 2: the ACL, don't know what he didn't want was going

265
00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:43,520
Speaker 2: to be. And I think those would be your candidates

266
00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:46,480
Speaker 2: for it. But I think Lache is. I think if

267
00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:50,920
Speaker 2: you think if you talk about camp disruption for him,

268
00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:53,520
Speaker 2: I know when I watched him on film, I felt like,

269
00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:56,280
Speaker 2: you know why in line tight end, But man, he's

270
00:12:56,320 --> 00:13:00,200
Speaker 2: got some soft, beautiful hands and he can go at

271
00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:04,000
Speaker 2: the football, So I wouldn't be surprised if he disrupts

272
00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:06,640
Speaker 2: the tight end position in that group with just the

273
00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:09,040
Speaker 2: ability to make some big plays down the field because

274
00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:12,000
Speaker 2: he's pretty athletic and he's got some soft hands to

275
00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:12,679
Speaker 2: go up and get the.

276
00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:15,360
Speaker 3: Football at tight end. So all right, let's go to

277
00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:18,160
Speaker 3: offensive line. I got one in.

278
00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:23,040
Speaker 2: Particular that I mean, honestly, anybody in the offensive line

279
00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:27,920
Speaker 2: kind of qualifies into this category if we're being honest,

280
00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:33,640
Speaker 2: But I think Jalen Thomas, and I've mentioned it before,

281
00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:37,120
Speaker 2: he's a guy that when you see him, he's thick,

282
00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:40,480
Speaker 2: he's strong, He's just got to stay healthy. And I

283
00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:43,920
Speaker 2: felt like last year in camp we were kind of

284
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:47,240
Speaker 2: seeing like maybe could this could he be pushing for

285
00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:53,679
Speaker 2: maybe not a starter spot, but a definitive interior offensive

286
00:13:53,679 --> 00:13:55,400
Speaker 2: line spot on a fifty three mins roster and he

287
00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:58,480
Speaker 2: got hurt and it's like, oh dang, okay. And I

288
00:13:58,480 --> 00:13:59,960
Speaker 2: know not a lot of people were paying a ten,

289
00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:02,240
Speaker 2: but I was seeing him go with the first group

290
00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:05,360
Speaker 2: and I'm like, okay, are they they give him some

291
00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:09,680
Speaker 2: serious consideration? So if Jalen's come back healthy, in good shape,

292
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:12,960
Speaker 2: I mean Jalen Thomas interior offensive line position. And look,

293
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:15,360
Speaker 2: he's played I think almost every line position. I think

294
00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:16,640
Speaker 2: when we did the interview with him, I think he

295
00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:18,600
Speaker 2: told us he had done he had played almost every

296
00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:22,080
Speaker 2: line position there was, So that gives him the versatility.

297
00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:26,280
Speaker 2: So from a disruption standpoint, you got some versatility. It's

298
00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:29,440
Speaker 2: got some strength, some bulk. Jalen Thomas can be a

299
00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:30,840
Speaker 2: disruptor on the offensive line.

300
00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:33,640
Speaker 1: What about Ladarius Henderson as a possibility?

301
00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:37,840
Speaker 2: You know, it's funny, Yeah, with Ladarius, it feels like

302
00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:40,920
Speaker 2: people have been talking about him since Nick mentioned him,

303
00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:44,960
Speaker 2: and so it's almost as if there's an expectation level

304
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:48,160
Speaker 2: now of Ladarius as opposed to he's kind of lying

305
00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:51,160
Speaker 2: in the weeds and then boom, here he comes. But yeah,

306
00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:53,000
Speaker 2: I think Ladarius could fit in there as well. But

307
00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:56,800
Speaker 2: I just think people's expectation expectations have kind of gone

308
00:14:56,840 --> 00:15:00,600
Speaker 2: through the roof because Nick mentioned him and then everybody

309
00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:03,920
Speaker 2: including Le's start talking about him, and so, yeah, I

310
00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:06,120
Speaker 2: think there's a little bit of mystery to his game,

311
00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:08,560
Speaker 2: but because his name was mentioned so often, I think

312
00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:11,960
Speaker 2: they're just expectations now that people are expecting him to meet.

313
00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:15,280
Speaker 2: I think Jayleen Thomas people will still go who So

314
00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:18,240
Speaker 2: that's the kind of meat. Like a camp disruptor is

315
00:15:18,520 --> 00:15:20,760
Speaker 2: somebody you're not even thinking's going to make the roster.

316
00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:24,960
Speaker 2: Like the namesake of this award should be Khalil Davis,

317
00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:28,040
Speaker 2: because you remember Khalil Davis over in twenty three. He got

318
00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:31,840
Speaker 2: there the first week of training camp and within like

319
00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:36,160
Speaker 2: an hour he was tearing dudes up on the one

320
00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:39,520
Speaker 2: on ones. Was like, that's a disruptor. So I think

321
00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:41,920
Speaker 2: I think Jayleen Thomas would be a little bit more

322
00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:43,320
Speaker 2: of that than Ladarius would be.

323
00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:46,920
Speaker 1: Boy, Khalil Davis, I mean, that's that's a blast from

324
00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:50,520
Speaker 1: the past. But it's not too long ago, right, And

325
00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:54,120
Speaker 1: let's see, is he with the forty nine ers now?

326
00:15:54,160 --> 00:15:57,920
Speaker 1: I think possibly? Okay, I think he's not here. Yeah,

327
00:15:57,920 --> 00:16:01,320
Speaker 1: we know that he's not here. MP disruptors guys who

328
00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:03,520
Speaker 1: are flies in the ointment. I'll give you a veteran

329
00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:07,160
Speaker 1: on the offensive line who, if healthy, could really make

330
00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:10,760
Speaker 1: things interesting. If he's totally healthy, Trent Brown is here, right,

331
00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:13,840
Speaker 1: And if Trent Brown is out there all of a sudden,

332
00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:15,760
Speaker 1: well wait a minute, we weren't even thinking that he

333
00:16:15,880 --> 00:16:18,440
Speaker 1: would be available. I don't know what they're thinking. Maybe

334
00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:20,160
Speaker 1: they assume he's going to be available. I have no

335
00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:24,600
Speaker 1: idea what's being discussed in the football offices, but if

336
00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:28,600
Speaker 1: Trent Brown is fully healthy and playing well, they're gonna

337
00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:31,880
Speaker 1: have some tough decisions to make. Because it's Trent Brown.

338
00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:34,240
Speaker 1: You know, he can do some things in this league.

339
00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:36,800
Speaker 1: He's done some things in this league, and we had

340
00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:40,000
Speaker 1: other plans. But he's available, and I don't know what's

341
00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:41,920
Speaker 1: going to happen, but I think that's a good veteran

342
00:16:41,960 --> 00:16:46,120
Speaker 1: disruptor possibility. Let's flip to dec Johnny, what do you

343
00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:49,680
Speaker 1: like on the defensive line as far as disruptors, which

344
00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:53,480
Speaker 1: it feels like defensive tackle is one gigantic disruptor group

345
00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:56,600
Speaker 1: in a way, the way things have been handled and

346
00:16:56,640 --> 00:17:00,760
Speaker 1: the way people have performed over the years. Tommy coming

347
00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:03,360
Speaker 1: in here last year, Reckon shot from time to time.

348
00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:06,560
Speaker 1: I mean, heinis has been around here, but I can't

349
00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:12,480
Speaker 1: call him a disruptor. However, he could make life uncomfortable

350
00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:15,080
Speaker 1: for some veterans. He is a veteran himself now going

351
00:17:15,080 --> 00:17:18,240
Speaker 1: into year four, but he could make life interesting if

352
00:17:18,280 --> 00:17:21,159
Speaker 1: he's fully healthy and performing at his highest level in

353
00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:21,879
Speaker 1: training camp.

354
00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:26,680
Speaker 2: My guy here, and it's odd of this, I mean

355
00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:28,240
Speaker 2: I just said a little while ago, I wouldn't put

356
00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:31,960
Speaker 2: a rookie, but honestly, everybody on that defensive line the

357
00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:34,920
Speaker 2: if rotated. We've seen him so much. We saw even

358
00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:38,479
Speaker 2: Tommy Togii, you know, who made plays throughout the last

359
00:17:38,880 --> 00:17:41,639
Speaker 2: half of the year or more and was just really,

360
00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:44,880
Speaker 2: really good. I'm gonna give you a rookie, Junior Tafuna,

361
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:48,760
Speaker 2: not drafted out of Utah. He is a unit. And

362
00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:51,560
Speaker 2: I remember watching him at Utah. I just thought, you know,

363
00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:54,960
Speaker 2: he's kind of shorter, squattier, sawing about the Senior Bowl

364
00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:57,439
Speaker 2: up close and I'm like, oh, he's bigger than I thought.

365
00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:00,840
Speaker 2: But then getting to stand six inches away from him

366
00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:04,560
Speaker 2: down at practice and going, dang, he's bigger than you think.

367
00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:09,159
Speaker 2: Doesn't wear any flair, no tape, no elbow pads, and

368
00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:11,800
Speaker 2: then he just goes out any balls. And I think

369
00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:14,040
Speaker 2: he's got an opportunity because he'll go against some threes

370
00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:16,840
Speaker 2: that I think he can dominate. I think Junior Tafuna,

371
00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:20,120
Speaker 2: the rookie out of Utah, could make a little bit

372
00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:26,640
Speaker 2: of noise. And you know, look, Conte Hamilton was drafted

373
00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:28,879
Speaker 2: in the seventh round, but there's not a lot of

374
00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:32,840
Speaker 2: difference between the two just from an on field standpoint.

375
00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:35,439
Speaker 2: So those two have got a really good opportunity to

376
00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:37,040
Speaker 2: show what they can do. They're gonna get a lot

377
00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:38,320
Speaker 2: of reps to be able to do it because you're

378
00:18:38,359 --> 00:18:44,280
Speaker 2: gonna want to keep Settle, Fatakasi, Rankins, Mario, these veterans.

379
00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:46,520
Speaker 2: You're gonna want to keep them healthy and rested. So

380
00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:49,040
Speaker 2: that means a lot of reps for these rookies, especially

381
00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:52,399
Speaker 2: third and fourth quarters in preseason games. That gives them

382
00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:55,600
Speaker 2: an opportunity. And I think Junior Tafuna in particular will

383
00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:57,280
Speaker 2: be a guy that stands out for that reason.

384
00:18:57,960 --> 00:19:03,120
Speaker 1: How bad a defensive end a draft choice? But are

385
00:19:03,160 --> 00:19:05,880
Speaker 1: they writing them off? And they by that I mean

386
00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:11,320
Speaker 1: media and such. Are we underestimating what Dylan Horton could

387
00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:13,879
Speaker 1: possibly be? They drafted him for a reason. Could he

388
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:17,360
Speaker 1: be a camp disruptor at defensive end? And I'll give

389
00:19:17,359 --> 00:19:20,320
Speaker 1: you another one as well, Casey two Hill, who we

390
00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:23,440
Speaker 1: caught up with in the studio during mini camp. That's

391
00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:25,240
Speaker 1: a guy who's been around the block. He's going into

392
00:19:25,320 --> 00:19:28,280
Speaker 1: year six here in the NFL. But you never know. Again,

393
00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:31,600
Speaker 1: it's camp. Things happen. It's not like togy I was

394
00:19:31,640 --> 00:19:34,200
Speaker 1: some rookie no one ever heard of. He's he had

395
00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:37,600
Speaker 1: three years in the league various places. But what about

396
00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:40,520
Speaker 1: defensive end disruptor possibilities in training camp?

397
00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:43,040
Speaker 2: I'm glad you mentioned Casey two Hill. We'll get to

398
00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:45,840
Speaker 2: dial in a second. To me, this is what this

399
00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:48,480
Speaker 2: category is all about, because Casey two Hill can play.

400
00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:51,440
Speaker 2: I only think people really understand how good this dude

401
00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:55,439
Speaker 2: actually is, and they got him for really nothing. He

402
00:19:55,600 --> 00:20:01,159
Speaker 2: is long, big, He's a Ryan Reynolds clone. If you

403
00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:03,520
Speaker 2: took Ryan Reynolds and pumped him up like the old

404
00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:07,600
Speaker 2: rebox shoes. I think Casey two Hill is gonna have

405
00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:12,520
Speaker 2: people looking around going, hey, who's ninety four? Two Hill?

406
00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:16,760
Speaker 2: We been here. I can just hear us at practice

407
00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:21,320
Speaker 2: with Andre and Andre going hey, Johnny, who's ninety four.

408
00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:24,480
Speaker 2: I could just hear it and like he's good, Like, yeah,

409
00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:27,600
Speaker 2: I know, he's good. Casey two Hill. Now, Dylan is

410
00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:32,680
Speaker 2: an interesting one because for the first camp since well

411
00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:38,680
Speaker 2: in two years, he's seemingly he's not fighting cancer, so

412
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:43,000
Speaker 2: he's not having to rehab. He's just building his body

413
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:45,560
Speaker 2: and getting ready for an NFL season. And I think

414
00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:49,800
Speaker 2: that's gonna make Dylan that much more of a factor,

415
00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:54,560
Speaker 2: and especially as a disruptor because he's long, he's two

416
00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:58,960
Speaker 2: hundred and sixty five, two seventy uh, he's physically smart,

417
00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:01,359
Speaker 2: and he's relentles and we saw that in the first

418
00:21:01,359 --> 00:21:04,359
Speaker 2: half of twenty three before he was struck down. I

419
00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:06,800
Speaker 2: think last year he was just playing catch up all year,

420
00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:08,879
Speaker 2: just like I want to get on the field to

421
00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:12,439
Speaker 2: do whatever I can. But man, he didn't have that

422
00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:17,119
Speaker 2: opportunity to get ready for the season. He's like he

423
00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:19,320
Speaker 2: had to beat that other opponent cancer before he could

424
00:21:19,359 --> 00:21:22,040
Speaker 2: kind of start thinking about the Chiefs, the Ravens, you know,

425
00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:24,520
Speaker 2: and everybody else we played. So I think he's going

426
00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:27,120
Speaker 2: to be in not much better shape. I think they

427
00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:29,680
Speaker 2: definitely saw something in him, and we saw something in

428
00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:33,400
Speaker 2: him early in his rookie campaign, but he was kind

429
00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:36,880
Speaker 2: of like a fledgling deer. He just kind of arms

430
00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:38,439
Speaker 2: and legs kind of all over the place, not really

431
00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:40,439
Speaker 2: knowing exactly where he's going. I think now he's kind

432
00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:42,800
Speaker 2: of honed in, he settled down, and I think he's

433
00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:44,520
Speaker 2: gonna end up being a force and a disrupt in

434
00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:45,200
Speaker 2: his camp too.

435
00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:48,480
Speaker 1: Okay, let's go to linebacker here. I'll give you one

436
00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:53,840
Speaker 1: disruptor possibility, and he's a draft choice. Year two. Jamal Hill,

437
00:21:54,119 --> 00:21:56,840
Speaker 1: we had him in studio and Hill in fact, we'll

438
00:21:56,880 --> 00:22:00,280
Speaker 1: hear him later on in this show. Jamal Hill, you

439
00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:03,160
Speaker 1: know that he's talked a lot with Demiko. He's coached

440
00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:06,439
Speaker 1: by a head coach who is a linebacker, and now

441
00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:09,080
Speaker 1: he's there with Bill Davis and his gang, and I

442
00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:11,320
Speaker 1: just have a feeling that he's going to do some

443
00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:13,440
Speaker 1: things in this camp that are going to open a

444
00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:15,480
Speaker 1: lot of eyes. Now it's very thick at linebacker. We

445
00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:18,360
Speaker 1: know that Heck, you sided e J. Speed, If Harris

446
00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:21,880
Speaker 1: is healthy, Oh my gosh, it's just a cornicopia of linebackers.

447
00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:24,520
Speaker 1: But Jamal Hill was drafted by this team, so you

448
00:22:24,520 --> 00:22:26,040
Speaker 1: know they want to give him a long look.

449
00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:31,560
Speaker 2: Last year during camp, you could tell I would watch

450
00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:34,760
Speaker 2: Jamal and you could tell his head was spinning and

451
00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:37,240
Speaker 2: he would come over the sidelines and Demiko would just

452
00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:39,879
Speaker 2: be giving it to him. Dimico coached Jamal Hill hard,

453
00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:44,760
Speaker 2: and Jamal Hill never it didn't look like he got

454
00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:49,000
Speaker 2: down on himself. He just kept kind of plugging along learning.

455
00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:52,360
Speaker 2: It was great when we got a chance to talk

456
00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:54,840
Speaker 2: to him. You know, he's got that linebacker spirit Demiko

457
00:22:54,920 --> 00:22:57,240
Speaker 2: looks for. I think Jamal Hill is a great one

458
00:22:57,240 --> 00:22:59,639
Speaker 2: in that category. Now it might have to prove it

459
00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:03,480
Speaker 2: on spec teams, but that's okay. Be disruptive on special teams,

460
00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:05,880
Speaker 2: and then those third and fourth quarters are yours. Then

461
00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:08,280
Speaker 2: go make some plays out on the field. You'll start

462
00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:11,000
Speaker 2: getting everybody's attention at that point if you haven't had

463
00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:15,480
Speaker 2: it already. And because of the injury history of the

464
00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:19,600
Speaker 2: linebackers that start for this team, you are gonna get

465
00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:22,640
Speaker 2: plenty of opportunities if you're Jamal Hill or another guy,

466
00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:25,280
Speaker 2: Nick Neeman, guy we haven't talked about a whole lot

467
00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:28,240
Speaker 2: of vet came over from Kansas City and the Chargers

468
00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:33,239
Speaker 2: coming over to Houston. He's a good long I mean,

469
00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:35,240
Speaker 2: he looks kind of like EJ. Speed in the sense

470
00:23:35,280 --> 00:23:38,360
Speaker 2: he's tall and he's long, just like EJ. I think

471
00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:43,240
Speaker 2: the guys beyond Christian Disease Henry are gonna be very

472
00:23:43,240 --> 00:23:46,360
Speaker 2: intriguing to watch the linebacker. If I'm being honest, everybody's

473
00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:49,520
Speaker 2: gonna have eyes on Christian. If he's in practice, they're

474
00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:51,720
Speaker 2: gonna want to know what he's doing. If he's out

475
00:23:51,760 --> 00:23:53,760
Speaker 2: of practice, everybody's gonna be like, oh, what's going on

476
00:23:53,800 --> 00:23:56,680
Speaker 2: with I think Christian's gonna be the storyline of linebacker. However,

477
00:23:57,520 --> 00:23:59,960
Speaker 2: go beyond that and take a look at Hey, how's

478
00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:03,040
Speaker 2: speed fitting in? What about nickname? And can he be

479
00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:05,359
Speaker 2: one of those linebackers. We know our guy Jake Hanson

480
00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:08,280
Speaker 2: is going to be a factor because when he's relied upon,

481
00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:10,280
Speaker 2: he's gone out there and made place from his rookie

482
00:24:10,320 --> 00:24:12,879
Speaker 2: year all the way through now and then on special teams.

483
00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:15,320
Speaker 2: But Jamal Hill is the guy that I think, to me,

484
00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:19,080
Speaker 2: for me, there's that much more curiosity because I don't

485
00:24:19,119 --> 00:24:22,399
Speaker 2: know that we really saw the true him last year.

486
00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:24,560
Speaker 2: I think we'll get more of a true viewing of

487
00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:25,840
Speaker 2: him this year in his second year.

488
00:24:26,520 --> 00:24:28,800
Speaker 1: All right, let's go to the secondary.

489
00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:29,200
Speaker 4: Now.

490
00:24:29,720 --> 00:24:34,840
Speaker 1: I'm wondering if we're allowed to classify Jalen Smith as

491
00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:39,480
Speaker 1: a camp disruptor considering how high he was drafted and

492
00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:42,600
Speaker 1: his pedigree and what he's already done in Ota. So

493
00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:45,200
Speaker 1: maybe he doesn't qualify. Johnny, but a lot of people

494
00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:49,639
Speaker 1: haven't heard of him, and you've raved about him or

495
00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:52,520
Speaker 1: about his potential anyway, and he's got to meet that potential.

496
00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:54,840
Speaker 1: But here we are, it's going to be training camp

497
00:24:54,880 --> 00:24:56,920
Speaker 1: on Wednesday, and this is it six and a half

498
00:24:56,960 --> 00:24:59,960
Speaker 1: weeks to show your stuff and show that you can

499
00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:03,199
Speaker 1: contribute greatly during the regular season.

500
00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:09,679
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think with the secondary, we know, we know

501
00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:12,000
Speaker 2: what that that five looks like, we know what that

502
00:25:12,119 --> 00:25:15,640
Speaker 2: five is gonna be. I think beyond that, a guy

503
00:25:15,720 --> 00:25:19,359
Speaker 2: like Jalen Smith is very intriguing because he's got natural

504
00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:22,960
Speaker 2: cover skills. He has natural cover skills of guys in

505
00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:26,480
Speaker 2: the slot, and he can also do some different things

506
00:25:26,520 --> 00:25:29,040
Speaker 2: from the slot. USC. He did a good job blitzing

507
00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:32,439
Speaker 2: off the edge when he was at USC because he

508
00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:34,600
Speaker 2: would kind of you had good timing and just timed

509
00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:37,080
Speaker 2: it up boom, he would hit it perfectly. But then

510
00:25:37,119 --> 00:25:39,240
Speaker 2: this past year, you know, he's more a primitive corner,

511
00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:43,840
Speaker 2: very comfortable in coverage. Look, if we talk about, you know,

512
00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:48,560
Speaker 2: games that Texans lost last year, you know, we we

513
00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:51,520
Speaker 2: lost those games in a sense because well, we had

514
00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:54,080
Speaker 2: trouble covering Garrett Wilson in the slot, We had trouble

515
00:25:54,119 --> 00:25:57,639
Speaker 2: covering Devontae Adams in the slot. We made some mistakes

516
00:25:58,359 --> 00:26:01,040
Speaker 2: in other games. You know, watch your conquo is running

517
00:26:01,080 --> 00:26:03,040
Speaker 2: kind of wide open, you know, is that a result

518
00:26:03,040 --> 00:26:04,800
Speaker 2: of not having Jalen Petrie out there. I don't know.

519
00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:07,040
Speaker 2: But either way, if you have a guy on Jalen

520
00:26:07,119 --> 00:26:10,840
Speaker 2: Smith that can really truly go out there and and

521
00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:13,480
Speaker 2: take on a receiver, and and and look, I think

522
00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:17,240
Speaker 2: the flexibility with Jalen two is something that can go

523
00:26:17,240 --> 00:26:20,560
Speaker 2: with Kamari because more you want staying on your on

524
00:26:20,640 --> 00:26:24,120
Speaker 2: the best receiver. So then you figure out the other two. Hey,

525
00:26:24,119 --> 00:26:27,439
Speaker 2: what's a better matchup? Is it better for Kamari to

526
00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:29,919
Speaker 2: go inside with a guy and leave Jalen Smith outside,

527
00:26:30,080 --> 00:26:32,879
Speaker 2: or Hey, leave Jalen Smith out or inside and let

528
00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:35,720
Speaker 2: Kamari stand the outside and we'll just lock up these three,

529
00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:38,480
Speaker 2: give him help with CJ and and Kaylin over the

530
00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:40,720
Speaker 2: top or whatever we're gonna do. Uh in a way

531
00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:43,400
Speaker 2: we go. I just think having that third cover guy,

532
00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:46,760
Speaker 2: a young dude with some potential. And that's why to me,

533
00:26:46,880 --> 00:26:50,360
Speaker 2: Jalen Smith could be that guy. The disruptor I'll bring

534
00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:53,280
Speaker 2: up because I think he can do it in different ways.

535
00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:55,000
Speaker 2: Is also a rookie, but he was he drafted a

536
00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:56,840
Speaker 2: little bit later. It was Jalen Reid out of Penn State.

537
00:26:57,560 --> 00:26:59,639
Speaker 2: I think Jalen's got a chip on his shoulder the

538
00:26:59,680 --> 00:27:03,320
Speaker 2: side of Energy Stadium. I think he was very disappointed

539
00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:05,560
Speaker 2: that he was drafted in the sixth round. I think

540
00:27:05,560 --> 00:27:08,359
Speaker 2: he was very surprised by that talking to our buddy

541
00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:11,520
Speaker 2: Drew Doherty about that. Drew talked to him right after

542
00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:13,760
Speaker 2: draft and you could tell he was chomping at the

543
00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:16,640
Speaker 2: bit to prove that there was no reason for him

544
00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:18,000
Speaker 2: to have gone as late as he did on that

545
00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:21,760
Speaker 2: Saturday at the draft. So I think Jalen Smith, Jayleen Reid,

546
00:27:22,280 --> 00:27:25,600
Speaker 2: and the other thing too with him is he's physical.

547
00:27:26,359 --> 00:27:28,800
Speaker 2: So you know in preseason when there's a guy kind

548
00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:31,800
Speaker 2: of lightening dudes up and then on special teams you

549
00:27:31,840 --> 00:27:35,240
Speaker 2: see it, You're like, oh, okay, I need to watch

550
00:27:35,280 --> 00:27:37,200
Speaker 2: thirty four Jalen Reid. I need to keep my eyes

551
00:27:37,240 --> 00:27:39,119
Speaker 2: on that guy. And I think Jalen Reid will have

552
00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:41,000
Speaker 2: opportunities on special teams to be able to do some

553
00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:41,840
Speaker 2: of those same things.

554
00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:45,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's thick. He looks like one of these safeties

555
00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:48,760
Speaker 1: who could almost now he's a few sandwiches away and

556
00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:51,960
Speaker 1: a few weeks in the weight room away from being

557
00:27:51,960 --> 00:27:55,840
Speaker 1: one of those linebacker safety type guys. But I would

558
00:27:55,840 --> 00:27:57,720
Speaker 1: not want to be hit by him or any of

559
00:27:57,760 --> 00:27:58,200
Speaker 1: these guys.

560
00:27:58,200 --> 00:27:58,680
Speaker 2: For that matter.

561
00:27:58,760 --> 00:28:03,119
Speaker 1: Let's just be honest. Jalen Reed is gonna knock the

562
00:28:03,240 --> 00:28:05,920
Speaker 1: snot out of some people in preseason games because, hey,

563
00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:09,200
Speaker 1: rookies don't get the memo. They are playing all out.

564
00:28:09,280 --> 00:28:12,159
Speaker 1: That's why I like the second half of preseason games

565
00:28:12,359 --> 00:28:14,280
Speaker 1: when the rookies get out there. I mean, the rookies

566
00:28:14,280 --> 00:28:16,040
Speaker 1: are out there in the first half too, I get it,

567
00:28:16,160 --> 00:28:19,359
Speaker 1: but those rookies who really want to make the impression.

568
00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:22,360
Speaker 1: That's fun to watch. And we'll be here to display

569
00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:25,480
Speaker 1: the entertainment on ABC thirteen and sports radios extent in

570
00:28:25,520 --> 00:28:27,760
Speaker 1: the entire network as we bring in the game. You're

571
00:28:27,760 --> 00:28:30,480
Speaker 1: gonna be at the booth. Can't wait for that. Huh

572
00:28:30,520 --> 00:28:31,440
Speaker 1: it's coming up.

573
00:28:31,680 --> 00:28:33,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's coming up. It'ould be good. Like I said,

574
00:28:33,640 --> 00:28:37,720
Speaker 2: all three games are inside, so no weather disruptions, you know,

575
00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:40,239
Speaker 2: maybe just a little bit of sunlight shining through like

576
00:28:40,360 --> 00:28:43,400
Speaker 2: last year, but that was I think a roof thing.

577
00:28:43,440 --> 00:28:46,400
Speaker 2: But it'll be fine. I'm looking forward to that. Indi

578
00:28:46,480 --> 00:28:49,520
Speaker 2: and Kevin are great to work with. They're my TV

579
00:28:49,640 --> 00:28:52,360
Speaker 2: family and our TV family and Shelby as well. Our

580
00:28:52,400 --> 00:28:54,760
Speaker 2: TV family gets together only for about a month a year,

581
00:28:54,800 --> 00:28:58,000
Speaker 2: but then I get back with my real family for

582
00:28:58,040 --> 00:28:59,360
Speaker 2: the rest of the year and looking forward to that

583
00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:01,840
Speaker 2: and being with you and Drey and Robert Naarn and

584
00:29:02,080 --> 00:29:05,320
Speaker 2: getting our games going. We start in La against the

585
00:29:05,440 --> 00:29:08,800
Speaker 2: La Rams, the first regular season game in Sofi Stadium.

586
00:29:09,440 --> 00:29:12,640
Speaker 1: And by the way, urp Brian Braman and oh yeah,

587
00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:16,160
Speaker 1: be's to his family and my gosh, just so terrible

588
00:29:16,360 --> 00:29:20,080
Speaker 1: passing from cancer this week, not even forty years old.

589
00:29:20,160 --> 00:29:23,120
Speaker 1: And he did some things for the Houston Texans. Good

590
00:29:23,160 --> 00:29:26,840
Speaker 1: contributor to this franchise and others as well. I mean

591
00:29:26,840 --> 00:29:28,840
Speaker 1: when you look at Braman, he played for the Eagles,

592
00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:33,040
Speaker 1: the Saints, the Eagles again in twenty seventeen, and he

593
00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:35,720
Speaker 1: had a nice run. Here was one of those guys

594
00:29:35,720 --> 00:29:37,480
Speaker 1: who just made big plays. He always found a way

595
00:29:37,520 --> 00:29:39,000
Speaker 1: to make the big play. And they found him at

596
00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:42,200
Speaker 1: West Texas A and M. Like I said, good contributor

597
00:29:42,240 --> 00:29:44,040
Speaker 1: here and it's just a sad story this week.

598
00:29:44,120 --> 00:29:48,080
Speaker 2: Johnny, Yep, no doubt Brian Braman one of the I

599
00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:51,120
Speaker 2: would say characters that makes it sound bad, but you know,

600
00:29:51,200 --> 00:29:53,800
Speaker 2: the long hair, the ability to make plays on special teams,

601
00:29:53,840 --> 00:29:58,239
Speaker 2: the maniacal effort. He was just lauded. And when you

602
00:29:58,280 --> 00:30:00,080
Speaker 2: go to social media, and you see so many form.

603
00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:05,040
Speaker 3: Teammates saying things in his honor and saying what a

604
00:30:05,040 --> 00:30:05,640
Speaker 3: great guy.

605
00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:06,040
Speaker 5: He was.

606
00:30:06,160 --> 00:30:08,640
Speaker 2: Not a great player, not you know anything about his

607
00:30:08,680 --> 00:30:10,840
Speaker 2: football building, but it was all about what a great

608
00:30:10,920 --> 00:30:13,480
Speaker 2: guy he was and what a great teammate he was,

609
00:30:13,520 --> 00:30:16,720
Speaker 2: and that that speaks volumes. So Brian Bradman arip I

610
00:30:16,760 --> 00:30:19,200
Speaker 2: know the people in Philadelphia really loved him and he

611
00:30:19,240 --> 00:30:22,360
Speaker 2: was instrumental on that twenty seventeen Super Bowl championship team.

612
00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:25,719
Speaker 2: So rip to Brian, and thoughts are with his family

613

Speaker 2: and friends for sure.

614
00:30:26,720 --> 00:30:29,680
Speaker 1: Okay, continuing with the program, let's get into this with

615
00:30:29,800 --> 00:30:32,440
Speaker 1: Camp disruptors. We've got a couple of them coming your way,

616
00:30:32,680 --> 00:30:36,280
Speaker 1: Zach Thomas along the offensive line and as we mentioned,

617
00:30:36,360 --> 00:30:40,400
Speaker 1: Jamal Hill linebacker. They are on the way next here

618
00:30:40,680 --> 00:30:43,800
Speaker 1: on Texans Radio. Back to it here the Hyundai Texans

619
00:30:43,920 --> 00:30:46,600
Speaker 1: Radio studio, which is still being fixed up, so we're

620
00:30:46,640 --> 00:30:49,760
Speaker 1: sort of mobile all around the building. Doesn't matter. We're

621
00:30:49,800 --> 00:30:52,080
Speaker 1: still bringing the show to you with all the fun,

622
00:30:52,480 --> 00:30:56,320
Speaker 1: all the frolic frolic We've got camp starting on Wednesday,

623
00:30:56,400 --> 00:30:59,360
Speaker 1: there will be no frolic. There will be interviews though,

624
00:30:59,720 --> 00:31:03,080
Speaker 1: and the highlight or the topic rather of segment one

625
00:31:03,720 --> 00:31:07,840
Speaker 1: with many highlights. Camp disruptors, guys who could really make

626
00:31:07,920 --> 00:31:11,560
Speaker 1: life interesting for Nick Cassario and Damico Ryan's come cut time,

627
00:31:12,040 --> 00:31:14,000
Speaker 1: and guys who aren't really on the tip of the

628
00:31:14,040 --> 00:31:18,320
Speaker 1: tongue necessarily when you're talking about position group stars, but

629
00:31:18,760 --> 00:31:20,920
Speaker 1: they want to make an impression. This is what camp

630
00:31:20,960 --> 00:31:23,440
Speaker 1: in the preseason games. This is what it's all about. Right.

631
00:31:23,880 --> 00:31:26,240
Speaker 1: Zach Thomas is an offensive lineman. Now, I know what

632
00:31:26,280 --> 00:31:29,640
Speaker 1: you're thinking. I know that name, Zach Thomas, Red Raider,

633
00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:34,120
Speaker 1: Miami Dolphin. My gosh, Zach Thomas. No, this is offensive lineman,

634
00:31:34,280 --> 00:31:38,600
Speaker 1: Zach Thomas. But guess what, there's something in common here

635
00:31:38,720 --> 00:31:41,960
Speaker 1: and it comes up early in the conversation with Zach Thomas.

636
00:31:41,960 --> 00:31:47,120
Speaker 1: Texans ol. Does that happen sometimes though? With Zach Thomas

637
00:31:47,240 --> 00:31:48,120
Speaker 1: NFL great.

638
00:31:48,200 --> 00:31:49,040
Speaker 4: Actually all the time.

639
00:31:49,520 --> 00:31:50,880
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, sorry, Zach.

640
00:31:50,920 --> 00:31:53,080
Speaker 6: Well, it's actually where I got my name back in

641
00:31:54,080 --> 00:31:56,520
Speaker 6: I can't remember what year was, well obviously not, but

642
00:31:57,160 --> 00:32:00,200
Speaker 6: my dad was watching the NFL and that was that

643
00:32:00,280 --> 00:32:00,880
Speaker 6: was where he got the.

644
00:32:00,880 --> 00:32:03,160
Speaker 1: Next let's real Zach together with Thomas and we got.

645
00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:04,680
Speaker 2: Literally named after Zach Thomas.

646
00:32:04,880 --> 00:32:06,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, holy cow, Yeah, that's that's really cool.

647
00:32:06,960 --> 00:32:09,200
Speaker 5: Now, your brother has also played in the NFL CAM,

648
00:32:09,360 --> 00:32:11,280
Speaker 5: your brother cam. You both won San Diego State?

649
00:32:11,320 --> 00:32:11,640
Speaker 2: Correct?

650
00:32:11,640 --> 00:32:11,960
Speaker 1: Correct?

651
00:32:11,960 --> 00:32:14,720
Speaker 5: Are you both from California? Both from San Diego, California?

652
00:32:14,760 --> 00:32:17,840
Speaker 5: We just had Casey two Hill in here. Were you

653
00:32:18,560 --> 00:32:20,080
Speaker 5: trying to do the math on that thing? He's probably

654
00:32:20,080 --> 00:32:21,760
Speaker 5: a little bit older than you guys, But was that

655
00:32:21,880 --> 00:32:23,760
Speaker 5: was Casey? Somebody you knew when you guys were in

656
00:32:23,760 --> 00:32:24,200
Speaker 5: San Diego?

657
00:32:24,560 --> 00:32:27,080
Speaker 4: No, our our paths didn't cross until we both got here.

658
00:32:27,160 --> 00:32:28,440
Speaker 2: Okay, all right, cool?

659
00:32:28,520 --> 00:32:31,320
Speaker 5: So I'll ask the same question that I asked him.

660
00:32:31,360 --> 00:32:33,680
Speaker 5: Maybe it's not even abate at this point, but in

661
00:32:33,760 --> 00:32:34,960
Speaker 5: and out versus waterburger?

662
00:32:35,040 --> 00:32:36,760
Speaker 2: Am I going to get an answer that shocks me?

663
00:32:36,880 --> 00:32:38,040
Speaker 2: Or is this in and out all the way?

664
00:32:38,080 --> 00:32:39,480
Speaker 4: It's in and out all the way? So I thought

665
00:32:39,480 --> 00:32:40,400
Speaker 4: it's in and out all the way.

666
00:32:40,560 --> 00:32:43,720
Speaker 5: Californians are so strong about in and out.

667
00:32:43,920 --> 00:32:45,480
Speaker 2: But I'm kind of their sight too, I kind of

668
00:32:45,600 --> 00:32:46,800
Speaker 2: in and out as much.

669
00:32:46,800 --> 00:32:46,920
Speaker 1: So.

670
00:32:47,440 --> 00:32:50,480
Speaker 5: Offensive line. We've been talking about the offensive line for

671
00:32:50,680 --> 00:32:51,280
Speaker 5: a long time.

672
00:32:51,360 --> 00:32:52,360
Speaker 2: Zach. You came over.

673
00:32:52,400 --> 00:32:56,120
Speaker 5: Probably what middle last year, I think, to the Texans,

674
00:32:57,080 --> 00:32:59,160
Speaker 5: what can you tell us about this offensive line going

675
00:32:59,200 --> 00:33:03,960
Speaker 5: into twenty twenty what's new. Obviously Pop takes over as

676
00:33:04,040 --> 00:33:07,040
Speaker 5: the offensive line coach. What can you tell us about

677
00:33:07,080 --> 00:33:09,480
Speaker 5: the offensive line just as a group, and then obviously

678
00:33:09,520 --> 00:33:11,200
Speaker 5: some of the things that maybe you're working on to

679
00:33:11,200 --> 00:33:12,640
Speaker 5: get ready for twenty twenty five.

680
00:33:13,080 --> 00:33:15,160
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, I think we have a great group

681
00:33:15,160 --> 00:33:17,320
Speaker 6: of guys in this room. I think Pop's doing a

682
00:33:17,320 --> 00:33:19,760
Speaker 6: great job so far. One thing I do know is

683
00:33:19,760 --> 00:33:22,200
Speaker 6: we have a lot of work to do, and we're

684
00:33:22,240 --> 00:33:24,959
Speaker 6: gonna stay at work, and I think when we get

685
00:33:25,000 --> 00:33:26,400
Speaker 6: to the other side of the camp we should see

686
00:33:26,440 --> 00:33:27,600
Speaker 6: some great results.

687
00:33:27,640 --> 00:33:28,080
Speaker 2: Yeah.

688
00:33:28,440 --> 00:33:30,520
Speaker 1: Is it hard to get it all together? I'm obviously

689
00:33:30,560 --> 00:33:33,480
Speaker 1: work in progress, right, because without pads you can only

690
00:33:33,520 --> 00:33:36,480
Speaker 1: do so much. What can you do without pads? What

691
00:33:36,560 --> 00:33:40,160
Speaker 1: really is the focus when you're not in pads?

692
00:33:41,280 --> 00:33:42,959
Speaker 6: I mean, the focus when you're not in pads is

693
00:33:43,600 --> 00:33:47,400
Speaker 6: I mean ce X's and O's it's hand placement, footwork.

694
00:33:48,480 --> 00:33:50,640
Speaker 6: I mean, I think football is a lot harder without

695
00:33:50,640 --> 00:33:51,080
Speaker 6: the pads on.

696
00:33:51,400 --> 00:33:53,920
Speaker 1: So a lot harder without the pads on.

697
00:33:55,360 --> 00:33:59,000
Speaker 6: From a technical standpoint, Yeah, okay, correct, I mean you

698
00:33:59,080 --> 00:34:02,440
Speaker 6: just have to be more on the dots and yeah,

699
00:34:02,480 --> 00:34:05,760
Speaker 6: I mean it's it's harder to pass, block, run, block,

700
00:34:05,840 --> 00:34:06,280
Speaker 6: do all that.

701
00:34:06,520 --> 00:34:09,000
Speaker 1: I always thought you must get a lot more bumps

702
00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:11,120
Speaker 1: and bruises sometimes. I mean, the pads are there to

703
00:34:11,160 --> 00:34:13,120
Speaker 1: protect you, but once the pads are on, guys are

704
00:34:13,120 --> 00:34:15,000
Speaker 1: gonna hit harder. Is there a way to put the

705
00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:16,640
Speaker 1: pads on and tell them to sort of lighten up

706
00:34:16,640 --> 00:34:18,400
Speaker 1: but being pads anyway, But that's not.

707
00:34:18,400 --> 00:34:19,560
Speaker 4: Gonna that's not happening.

708
00:34:19,640 --> 00:34:21,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely not so, Zach.

709
00:34:21,560 --> 00:34:23,640
Speaker 5: When you get here last year in twenty twenty four,

710
00:34:24,280 --> 00:34:26,480
Speaker 5: I imagine that's gotta be tough in a sense because

711
00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:28,680
Speaker 5: you know, in training camp, you put the pads on,

712
00:34:28,760 --> 00:34:31,040
Speaker 5: you have practices in training camp where you can really

713
00:34:31,440 --> 00:34:33,719
Speaker 5: get after it. You get here middle of the year

714
00:34:33,920 --> 00:34:35,560
Speaker 5: and a lot of it is about getting ready for

715
00:34:35,560 --> 00:34:38,200
Speaker 5: the next team. You don't hit as much, you don't

716
00:34:38,200 --> 00:34:39,680
Speaker 5: get the opportunity to kind of show what you can do,

717
00:34:39,719 --> 00:34:41,480
Speaker 5: especially as an offensive lineman.

718
00:34:41,800 --> 00:34:43,239
Speaker 2: It's that kind of a tough period to.

719
00:34:43,239 --> 00:34:46,320
Speaker 5: Kind of kind of get through because you didn't quite

720
00:34:46,440 --> 00:34:49,160
Speaker 5: have that or those practice opportunities that you will get.

721
00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:50,520
Speaker 2: In training camp preseason games.

722
00:34:50,600 --> 00:34:51,400
Speaker 4: Oh absolutely.

723
00:34:52,200 --> 00:34:54,560
Speaker 6: I mean, coming in midway through the year, I mean,

724
00:34:54,719 --> 00:34:57,200
Speaker 6: I'm learning the playbook, I'm learning in different techniques.

725
00:34:57,239 --> 00:34:59,239
Speaker 4: I'm learning. I mean I'm learning people's names in the

726
00:35:00,640 --> 00:35:03,080
Speaker 4: the cafe. In the cafe. Yeah yeah.

727
00:35:03,080 --> 00:35:06,040
Speaker 6: It's also not the easiest to get around in this facility,

728
00:35:07,160 --> 00:35:09,879
Speaker 6: So I think from that standpoint, uh, there's a lot

729
00:35:09,880 --> 00:35:12,640
Speaker 6: that goes into it. And just uh, I mean, at

730
00:35:12,640 --> 00:35:14,319
Speaker 6: the same time, you're still preparing for a new team

731
00:35:14,320 --> 00:35:16,680
Speaker 6: each week. So not only am I learning the plays,

732
00:35:16,680 --> 00:35:19,480
Speaker 6: but I'm also learning about the guys I'm going against, right.

733
00:35:19,400 --> 00:35:21,839
Speaker 1: Zach Thomas joining us. But you come into the league

734
00:35:21,840 --> 00:35:24,000
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty two and now you're going into year four,

735
00:35:24,480 --> 00:35:26,560
Speaker 1: So a lot of work to do when you go

736
00:35:26,600 --> 00:35:29,160
Speaker 1: to different organizations and you really want to fit and

737
00:35:29,200 --> 00:35:31,080
Speaker 1: you want to make an impact, and you've got to

738
00:35:31,120 --> 00:35:34,640
Speaker 1: adjust along the way with different teams Bears, Rams, Patriots

739
00:35:34,640 --> 00:35:35,880
Speaker 1: and yeah.

740
00:35:36,280 --> 00:35:36,640
Speaker 4: Yeah.

741
00:35:36,800 --> 00:35:40,000
Speaker 1: So what is the key or one of the keys

742
00:35:40,040 --> 00:35:42,480
Speaker 1: to being able to do that, because clearly you know

743
00:35:42,520 --> 00:35:44,520
Speaker 1: you're here, You're still here the NFL.

744
00:35:44,239 --> 00:35:48,320
Speaker 6: SAC Yeah, I mean, I think it's about being flexible.

745
00:35:48,800 --> 00:35:51,560
Speaker 6: I mean a lot of teams shared characteristics. But at

746
00:35:51,600 --> 00:35:54,120
Speaker 6: the same time, you're still learning all new all new

747
00:35:54,160 --> 00:35:57,040
Speaker 6: techniques and plays and all kinds of stuff, meeting new

748
00:35:57,040 --> 00:36:00,919
Speaker 6: people along the way. I wouldn't trade Mikes rants for anything, though,

749
00:36:01,360 --> 00:36:02,080
Speaker 6: what's coach.

750
00:36:01,880 --> 00:36:02,520
Speaker 2: Pop em like?

751
00:36:03,080 --> 00:36:03,759
Speaker 4: What's he been like?

752
00:36:03,840 --> 00:36:05,279
Speaker 5: Yeah, what's it been? What's it been like to have

753
00:36:05,400 --> 00:36:09,719
Speaker 5: him kind of leading the charge? I love having him.

754
00:36:09,760 --> 00:36:13,680
Speaker 6: He he's he's gonna he's gonna get us in shape.

755
00:36:13,760 --> 00:36:16,520
Speaker 6: He's he's gonna have us doing I'm excited to see

756
00:36:16,520 --> 00:36:19,479
Speaker 6: where this group goes because, uh, it's good. He shows

757
00:36:19,520 --> 00:36:21,120
Speaker 6: us all the old film from New England and all that.

758
00:36:21,239 --> 00:36:23,200
Speaker 6: I mean, we have New England some some New England

759
00:36:23,280 --> 00:36:27,360
Speaker 6: roots here, sure so and obviously that uh, that organization

760
00:36:27,400 --> 00:36:28,239
Speaker 6: I think did pretty well.

761
00:36:28,320 --> 00:36:28,799
Speaker 1: Yeah I did.

762
00:36:29,080 --> 00:36:30,600
Speaker 4: I'm excited to see where he takes us.

763
00:36:30,640 --> 00:36:32,880
Speaker 5: It's funny you said it that way because you're not

764
00:36:32,960 --> 00:36:36,920
Speaker 5: the first offensive lineman that said we will be in shape.

765
00:36:36,160 --> 00:36:37,960
Speaker 2: Which I which you chuckle at.

766
00:36:38,040 --> 00:36:40,080
Speaker 5: So I would imagine that's maybe an offensive line thing

767
00:36:40,080 --> 00:36:44,360
Speaker 5: we would understand. But is that is that a focus

768
00:36:44,400 --> 00:36:47,640
Speaker 5: of Yeah, we're we're gonna have ourselves in cardio shape

769
00:36:47,640 --> 00:36:49,799
Speaker 5: and hitting shape and all that ready for a game

770
00:36:49,840 --> 00:36:52,080
Speaker 5: so we're not out of shape and then done it

771
00:36:52,200 --> 00:36:54,279
Speaker 5: by a defensive line. But you're not the first one

772
00:36:54,320 --> 00:36:56,040
Speaker 5: to say that, So has that been like a big

773
00:36:56,080 --> 00:36:57,239
Speaker 5: focus for him and for you?

774
00:36:57,239 --> 00:36:57,479
Speaker 1: Guys.

775
00:36:57,560 --> 00:36:57,880
Speaker 4: I think that.

776
00:36:58,080 --> 00:37:01,000
Speaker 6: Yeah, no, it's a big focus. He wants us to

777
00:37:01,040 --> 00:37:02,800
Speaker 6: be in better shape than the defensive line.

778
00:37:03,280 --> 00:37:06,600
Speaker 4: I know that. I will say that. Like, like, if

779
00:37:06,600 --> 00:37:07,120
Speaker 4: you watch the.

780
00:37:07,680 --> 00:37:12,040
Speaker 6: The the ebbs and flows of the NFL game, you

781
00:37:12,040 --> 00:37:13,640
Speaker 6: see the same alignment out there every.

782
00:37:13,520 --> 00:37:15,600
Speaker 2: Single place, defensive line coming in, A.

783
00:37:15,640 --> 00:37:16,880
Speaker 4: Defensive line comes in and out right.

784
00:37:18,080 --> 00:37:20,680
Speaker 6: So for us to be in better shape, be able

785
00:37:20,719 --> 00:37:24,760
Speaker 6: to pass, block, run block, do it all longer, harder, faster,

786
00:37:26,120 --> 00:37:28,439
Speaker 6: I think we're gonna be in a pretty good spot.

787
00:37:28,719 --> 00:37:31,160
Speaker 1: Now. That's what you just pointed out, though I was

788
00:37:31,160 --> 00:37:34,200
Speaker 1: gonna mention that, Yeah, it's the same five guys Ideally,

789
00:37:34,280 --> 00:37:37,520
Speaker 1: unless there's an injury, it's not like, oh so and

790
00:37:37,560 --> 00:37:40,880
Speaker 1: so is tired, let's put in the other let's have

791
00:37:40,960 --> 00:37:45,280
Speaker 1: a guard change now. But that speaks to how together

792
00:37:45,760 --> 00:37:48,279
Speaker 1: the five have to be right when the D line

793
00:37:48,320 --> 00:37:50,520
Speaker 1: can just because they're just trying to destroy the interchangeable.

794
00:37:50,600 --> 00:37:54,520
Speaker 4: The old line is one solid unity working together.

795
00:37:54,640 --> 00:37:55,840
Speaker 1: A lot of work goes into that.

796
00:37:56,600 --> 00:38:00,560
Speaker 5: Okay, on the best offensive lines that you have been on,

797
00:38:01,640 --> 00:38:06,239
Speaker 5: what has been the overriding trait to that group has

798
00:38:06,360 --> 00:38:11,239
Speaker 5: been talent, has been camaraderie, chemistry, knowledge and playbook. What's

799
00:38:11,320 --> 00:38:14,200
Speaker 5: been the overriding trait on the best offensive lines you've

800
00:38:14,200 --> 00:38:15,120
Speaker 5: been in your.

801
00:38:15,000 --> 00:38:16,160
Speaker 2: Whole football career is act.

802
00:38:16,640 --> 00:38:21,080
Speaker 5: What would you say is the overriding trait consisted amongst

803
00:38:21,120 --> 00:38:22,560
Speaker 5: the best offensive lines you've been on.

804
00:38:23,560 --> 00:38:27,480
Speaker 6: I'd pray have to go with chemistry. I mean, it's

805
00:38:27,520 --> 00:38:29,920
Speaker 6: not it's not always the easiest to take one alignment

806
00:38:29,920 --> 00:38:31,200
Speaker 6: out of the mix and put a new one in.

807
00:38:32,000 --> 00:38:36,240
Speaker 6: Different guys work together differently. Sure guys have different different

808
00:38:36,320 --> 00:38:40,120
Speaker 6: strengths in their game that work well with the players

809
00:38:40,120 --> 00:38:44,000
Speaker 6: next year. Yeah, So I would definitely say it has

810
00:38:44,040 --> 00:38:47,040
Speaker 6: to do with who you're working with and how you

811
00:38:47,040 --> 00:38:47,759
Speaker 6: can build off one.

812
00:38:47,719 --> 00:38:50,440

00:41:01,200 --> 00:41:06,239
Speaker 1: channel your aggression and athletic ability without having to overthink.

867
00:41:06,320 --> 00:41:09,280
Speaker 8: THINGS i, MEAN i guess it's definitely like a learning

868
00:41:09,320 --> 00:41:10,560
Speaker 8: curve when you first get into.

869
00:41:10,680 --> 00:41:14,560

904
00:42:44,320 --> 00:42:46,200
Speaker 8: little upset at first Cause i'm just Like i've been

905

907
00:42:53,080 --> 00:42:54,680
Speaker 8: Uh that's HOW i felt about it at. First and

908
00:42:54,719 --> 00:42:58,800
Speaker 8: THEN i had a spring to kind of get it

909
00:42:58,880 --> 00:43:00,960
Speaker 8: under my belt before to see and. Started AND i

910
00:43:01,000 --> 00:43:03,560
Speaker 8: feel like that SPRING i took like A i guess

911
00:43:03,760 --> 00:43:05,880
Speaker 8: starting from the, ground LIKE i took a big step

912
00:43:06,400 --> 00:43:08,040
Speaker 8: in the right direction as far as learning how to

913
00:43:08,040 --> 00:43:12,239
Speaker 8: play the linebacker, position and it's got me. Here SO

914
00:43:12,719 --> 00:43:15,239
Speaker 8: i Appreciate landon And kostas loop With.

915
00:43:15,520 --> 00:43:19,240
Speaker 5: Okay so my guess is that one of those guys

916
00:43:19,320 --> 00:43:22,600
Speaker 5: used to be the defensive coordinator At georgia and maybe

917
00:43:22,640 --> 00:43:24,480
Speaker 5: that's how he got connected with you because you're From

918
00:43:24,600 --> 00:43:27,719
Speaker 5: georgia and then you go play your college ball At.

919
00:43:27,760 --> 00:43:29,840
Speaker 2: Oregon that's not a path a lot of guys.

920
00:43:29,920 --> 00:43:31,480
Speaker 1: Follow more guys are.

921
00:43:31,320 --> 00:43:34,040

924
00:43:39,239 --> 00:43:39,560
