1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:00,760
Speaker 1: What's up, everybody?

2
00:00:00,800 --> 00:00:03,520
Speaker 2: Welcome into a Wednesday edition of Texans All Access from

3
00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:06,600
Speaker 2: the Monday Texans Radio Studio. I'm your host, John Harris,

4
00:00:06,760 --> 00:00:08,720
Speaker 2: and we got plenty four years. We get ready for

5
00:00:08,760 --> 00:00:13,520
Speaker 2: the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Last saw them twenty nineteen, beat

6
00:00:13,560 --> 00:00:16,520
Speaker 2: them to win the AFC South. Twenty fifteen, we saw

7
00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:19,599
Speaker 2: him the Energy Stadium. We broke a losing streak. I

8
00:00:19,600 --> 00:00:21,040
Speaker 2: think it was the first win of the year. Twenty

9
00:00:21,079 --> 00:00:24,959
Speaker 2: fifteen saw him twenty eleven beat them, Then Albert Haynesworth

10
00:00:25,040 --> 00:00:28,720
Speaker 2: broke the foot of Matt Schaub or Liz Frank or

11
00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:33,520
Speaker 2: whatever it was. And then two thousand and seven Texans

12
00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:35,640
Speaker 2: beat the Bucks. So Texas got a four game winning

13
00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:36,600
Speaker 2: streak against the Bucks.

14
00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:38,440
Speaker 1: Looking to make it five on Sunday.

15
00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:40,840
Speaker 2: But most importantly, they're going to make it win number

16
00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:42,960
Speaker 2: four for the season.

17
00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:43,839
Speaker 1: Which is most important.

18
00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:46,279
Speaker 2: Get back to five hundred against team that's lost three

19
00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:47,680
Speaker 2: and one three in a row. It's gonna be a

20
00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:49,720
Speaker 2: tough ball game, a lot of desperation, I would think

21
00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:52,240
Speaker 2: on both sides. Texans do now want to fall three

22
00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:53,800
Speaker 2: and five, and obviously the Bucks do not want to

23
00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:56,000
Speaker 2: lose a fourth in a row.

24
00:00:56,080 --> 00:00:56,920
Speaker 1: So we're gonna talk.

25
00:00:56,760 --> 00:01:01,920
Speaker 2: A lot about the game, the bucks, everything else in between.

26
00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:05,000
Speaker 1: So we've got Nick Cassario's gonna join us in just

27
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:05,319
Speaker 1: a second.

28
00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:05,560
Speaker 3: Here.

29
00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:10,679
Speaker 2: We got Laramie Tunsel doing a deep slant this week,

30
00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:13,920
Speaker 2: and it's a special one. You'll find out why that

31
00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:15,920
Speaker 2: is a little bit later in the show.

32
00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:18,240
Speaker 1: We also have got.

33
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:22,200
Speaker 2: Mike Quinn, Texans OG's NDCLUDE does a great job with

34
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:25,440
Speaker 2: that podcast, and Mike the Mighty Quinn will stop by

35
00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:25,679
Speaker 2: for that.

36
00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:27,360
Speaker 1: We got a little in the lab.

37
00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:30,160
Speaker 2: We'll break down injury reports, a little bit lengthy on

38
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:32,920
Speaker 2: the Texans side. It's some bad news on the Buccaneers side.

39
00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:35,119
Speaker 2: Good for them, bad for the Texans. But we'll get

40
00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:37,000
Speaker 2: that in a little bit. But we kick off each

41
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:40,920
Speaker 2: and every Wednesday show with Executive vice President Football Opson

42
00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:42,800
Speaker 2: GM Nick Caserio.

43
00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:45,880
Speaker 4: All Right, we welcome into the Hyundai Texans Radio studio

44
00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:48,640
Speaker 4: Executive vice President and general Manager Nick Cassario.

45
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:49,720
Speaker 5: Nick, good to see him.

46
00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:52,000
Speaker 4: I know you're coming off the loss to Carolina, but

47
00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:54,720
Speaker 4: time waits for no one in the NFL. It's right

48
00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:57,080
Speaker 4: back into game week with Tampa Bay. But let's reflect

49
00:01:57,080 --> 00:02:00,240
Speaker 4: on what happened at Carolina. So close yet so far.

50
00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:02,680
Speaker 6: Yeah, I would say in some respects a little bit

51
00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:05,360
Speaker 6: like the Atlanta game, kind of had our opportunities. Came

52
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:07,080
Speaker 6: down to really the last play of the game with

53
00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:09,239
Speaker 6: a kick, but there were a number of plays during

54
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:12,560
Speaker 6: the course of the game that potentially could have impacted

55
00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:16,280
Speaker 6: the outcome. So say, give Carolina credit. They made a

56
00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:18,200
Speaker 6: few more plays than we did. In the end, we

57
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:21,519
Speaker 6: had our opportunities, you know, probably didn't capitalize as much

58
00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:24,080
Speaker 6: as we either wanted to or needed to, and in

59
00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:26,160
Speaker 6: the end kind of came up a little bit short there.

60
00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:29,720
Speaker 6: And to your point, I mean, all we can do

61
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:32,600
Speaker 6: is sort of go back through the game, figure out

62
00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:34,720
Speaker 6: some of the eras maybe we can clean up and improve,

63
00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:37,760
Speaker 6: improve our execution, and focus on the details and then

64
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:40,560
Speaker 6: get ready for a pretty good team that we're going

65
00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:42,560
Speaker 6: to see here on Sunday in Tampa Bay.

66
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:44,639
Speaker 2: Nick, there have been a lot of noise about, oh,

67
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:48,160
Speaker 2: the Texans aren't getting sacks, but the pressure had been there.

68
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:50,280
Speaker 2: There have been guys getting to the quarterback. Well, Sunday,

69
00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:53,040
Speaker 2: you got six sacks and probably could add another couple

70
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:55,400
Speaker 2: of more when you grab a face mask on, and

71
00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:57,000
Speaker 2: probably could have got another one later in the game,

72
00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 2: it could have been seven or eight in your estimation.

73
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:02,040
Speaker 2: What have you seen from the pass rush group because

74
00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:04,840
Speaker 2: it kind of spread the wealth. JGD a couple of them,

75
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:06,760
Speaker 2: Leak had a couple of Denzel out a half.

76
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:08,720
Speaker 1: What's kind of working in the past rush the other day?

77
00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:11,600
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean sacks sometimes come in bunches. I think, really,

78
00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:13,919
Speaker 6: what you're trying to do, see how much you can

79
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:17,280
Speaker 6: impact the quarterback on a week to week basis. Say

80
00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:19,600
Speaker 6: that game was a little bit more emblematic of how

81
00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:23,320
Speaker 6: you want the rush to be coordinated. Really, sacks, they're

82
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:26,600
Speaker 6: an individual stat, but they're really a team defensive stat,

83
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:29,560
Speaker 6: and it's when you rush four. You have to be

84
00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:32,680
Speaker 6: able to rush in unison as a group. Sometimes you

85
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:36,600
Speaker 6: play off one another. Sometimes how you attack the pocket

86
00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:40,560
Speaker 6: and attack the quarterback impacts the rush. So it's really

87
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:42,320
Speaker 6: what you're trying to accomplish and just making sure that

88
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:45,720
Speaker 6: everybody understands what you're trying to get done on each play.

89
00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:49,080
Speaker 6: So there's an individual element, but really in the end,

90
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:51,440
Speaker 6: it's within the context of a team element, and you're

91
00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:55,320
Speaker 6: talking about a group rushing a quarterback with the right lanes,

92
00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:58,000
Speaker 6: with the right integrity, with the right discipline and say

93
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:00,440
Speaker 6: a couple of the sacks a result of we're able

94
00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:02,560
Speaker 6: to get good pressure off the edge, force the quarterback

95
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:04,520
Speaker 6: up in the pocket, and then we were in position

96
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:07,440
Speaker 6: because you know, we were in the right gap in

97
00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:08,880
Speaker 6: the right lane to get.

98
00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:09,840
Speaker 1: The quarterback on the ground.

99
00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:13,040
Speaker 6: So the more we continue to work together and understand

100
00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:15,760
Speaker 6: what we need to do as a group, then you

101
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:18,200
Speaker 6: know the sacks will come. And you know, both Matt

102
00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:21,320
Speaker 6: and Demiko have talked about really it's not about the sacks.

103
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:23,080
Speaker 6: I think everybody wants to get caught up in the

104
00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:25,880
Speaker 6: numbers and the actual statistics, but you just won't really

105
00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:28,320
Speaker 6: want to be able to impact the quarterback in a

106
00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:30,560
Speaker 6: positive way from a defensive perspective.

107
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:33,520
Speaker 4: And Demiko has said he needs to take the ball away.

108
00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:36,119
Speaker 4: He wants the Texans to be a ball hawking team.

109
00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:39,680
Speaker 4: You didn't get that against the Carolina Panthers. What does

110
00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:43,040
Speaker 4: that take overall that mentality, that ethic to get the

111
00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:44,440
Speaker 4: ball away consistently.

112
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:46,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, No, it's a great question.

113
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:48,760
Speaker 6: It's really a thought process and a mindset and just

114
00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:50,680
Speaker 6: having the ball kind of on your mind as much

115
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:53,719
Speaker 6: as possible. And there's ways that you can coach it.

116
00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:56,480
Speaker 6: The ways you can technique it. How you attack the runner,

117
00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:59,680
Speaker 6: how you attack the ball carrier, aiming point, being in

118
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:03,200
Speaker 6: position dition. I would say interceptions a big part of them,

119
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:05,960
Speaker 6: or reading the quarterback and having eyes on the quarterback,

120
00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:08,760
Speaker 6: or understanding the overall picture of the play and putting

121
00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:13,640
Speaker 6: yourself in a position, whether it's formation recognition, split recognition.

122
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:16,880
Speaker 6: All right, this looks similar to a concept that they've run.

123
00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:19,240
Speaker 6: It's a repeat concept that comes up during the course

124
00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:23,200
Speaker 6: of the game. So there's no one definitive I would

125
00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:25,960
Speaker 6: say item. It's usually a combination of things, but you

126
00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:29,240
Speaker 6: could certainly teach it, coach it. There's certain techniques that

127
00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:32,240
Speaker 6: are involved, and I think everybody talks about the football,

128
00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:35,440
Speaker 6: but you actually do it in practice and then really,

129
00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:37,520
Speaker 6: if you practice something, then you hope that it carries

130
00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:39,520
Speaker 6: over into the game. And really, in the end, I

131
00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:43,160
Speaker 6: would say, there's only one turnover in the game, not

132
00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:44,960
Speaker 6: saying it was necessarily a different in the game, but

133
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:47,000
Speaker 6: it certainly had an impact in the outcome of the

134
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:48,960
Speaker 6: game and the teams that take care of the football.

135
00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:52,760
Speaker 6: The correlation between winning and losing is fairly high.

136
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:55,240
Speaker 2: I know you have history with six round picks and

137
00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:58,000
Speaker 2: a good one at that, But typically six round picks

138
00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:01,279
Speaker 2: don't normally find a way on to a roster, especially

139
00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:05,400
Speaker 2: a starter, especially as a rookie. But Jared Patterson have

140
00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:07,239
Speaker 2: been giving you some good time at center.

141
00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:07,600
Speaker 7: Nick.

142
00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:09,880
Speaker 2: What I know he's gonna be out for a while.

143
00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:11,240
Speaker 2: I don't know for how long. I don't get any

144
00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:12,720
Speaker 2: any of that. I just know we're gonna miss him

145
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:14,279
Speaker 2: in a little bit. But what had you seen from

146
00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:16,600
Speaker 2: jareded thus far? And how much are we gonna miss him?

147
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:16,880
Speaker 8: Yeah?

148
00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:20,200
Speaker 6: No, JP did a great job if he really played

149
00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:22,720
Speaker 6: a little bit. He played both guard and center. Notre

150
00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:26,200
Speaker 6: Dame a little bit more guard. But when you have

151
00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:28,560
Speaker 6: those inside players, you're kind of seeing if they can

152
00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:30,680
Speaker 6: handle all three inside spots because trying to build a

153
00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:32,960
Speaker 6: depth of your team. But I mean very he was

154
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:36,720
Speaker 6: an experienced player, very instinctive player, very smart. Playing center

155
00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:39,440
Speaker 6: is really as much about intelligence as anything else, because

156
00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:41,840
Speaker 6: there's so many things to sort out. Is it an

157
00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:45,440
Speaker 6: even front? It was an odd space front. Are they overloaded? Okay,

158
00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:48,640
Speaker 6: where's the mic identification? There's so many things that you

159
00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:50,679
Speaker 6: have to go through in a short period of time.

160
00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:54,320
Speaker 6: A really smart kid, very diligent, had a good playing style,

161
00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:57,560
Speaker 6: it wasn't too big for him. He was able to

162
00:06:57,560 --> 00:07:00,640
Speaker 6: step in and until he was injured that play. I

163
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:03,640
Speaker 6: mean he'd been out there essentially for every all the snap,

164
00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:07,039
Speaker 6: one hundred percent of the snap. So it's unfortunate, you know.

165
00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:08,880
Speaker 6: I think we feel good about the depth that we

166
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:12,160
Speaker 6: have behind JP. We have a number of players that

167
00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:14,200
Speaker 6: worked at center and guarded training camp. So we'll go

168
00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:15,760
Speaker 6: through the week and kind of see what's the best

169
00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:17,320
Speaker 6: option for us going into the game this week.

170
00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:19,720
Speaker 4: All right, this week's Running game update, you ran for

171
00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:22,080
Speaker 4: one hundred and ten yards. I know you still want more.

172
00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:24,200
Speaker 4: It almost didn't feel like one hundred and ten in

173
00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:26,480
Speaker 4: some ways. You had thirty carries in the game. What

174
00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:28,600
Speaker 4: about the update on the running game? There was some

175
00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:32,280
Speaker 4: progress there overall relative to earlier in the season.

176
00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:33,080
Speaker 5: But I know you want to see more.

177
00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:36,080
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean we had some positive runs, no question

178
00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:37,880
Speaker 6: about it, and then we mixed in you know, CJ

179
00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:40,119
Speaker 6: had to scramble there, you know which account it counts

180
00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:42,120
Speaker 6: towards your your running game, and then we had a

181
00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:44,480
Speaker 6: couple of reverses with Tank and some of those plays.

182
00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:49,320
Speaker 6: But overall, I would say fairly efficient, you know, still

183
00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:51,480
Speaker 6: probably left some yards on the field there a little bit,

184
00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:53,680
Speaker 6: but generally we're going to the right spot. There's a

185
00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:55,960
Speaker 6: couple of plays where they had a good call against

186
00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:59,400
Speaker 6: the particular run, even on the longer run DP made.

187
00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:00,640
Speaker 6: I mean, he did all of a job in a

188
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:05,320
Speaker 6: backfield making burns miss. So I think sometimes run game's

189
00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:06,880
Speaker 6: about value more than anything else, and you just want

190
00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:08,920
Speaker 6: to have more positive than negative runs and say for

191
00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:10,679
Speaker 6: the most part that we did that. So it certainly

192
00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:13,680
Speaker 6: be a big challenge this week against Tampa. I'd say

193
00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:16,200
Speaker 6: the strength of their defense is really along the front.

194
00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:16,760
Speaker 9: Nick.

195
00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:18,880
Speaker 2: We'll get to Tampa in a second, but I don't

196
00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:22,200
Speaker 2: know how far we've got into this conversation without speaking

197
00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:25,720
Speaker 2: of Camp Johnston and the weapon. And I think teams

198
00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:29,040
Speaker 2: still go to punter and sometimes it's a necessary evil,

199
00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:31,760
Speaker 2: But I know what it's spending years in New England

200
00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:34,240
Speaker 2: with Coach Belichick, that was a big deal for him.

201
00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:36,600
Speaker 2: He'd tell us straight eight minutes on a punt, and

202
00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:39,320
Speaker 2: you knew special teams meant a lot. So Camp Johnston

203
00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:42,040
Speaker 2: comes here and you sign him and you bring him here,

204
00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:44,320
Speaker 2: and it feels like this third year he's even even

205
00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:46,960
Speaker 2: bigger weapon than he was the first two years that

206
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:48,960
Speaker 2: he was here. He's been even better in the games.

207
00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:51,800
Speaker 2: Is a seventy four yard punt the longest in Texans history.

208
00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:55,400
Speaker 2: How valuable is it to have him punting the football

209
00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:57,480
Speaker 2: and what does that meant to the team thus far?

210
00:08:57,840 --> 00:08:59,840
Speaker 6: Yeah, the kicking game in the ends about field positions.

211
00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:02,240
Speaker 6: The more you can affect the field position and control

212
00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:05,440
Speaker 6: field position, it's gonna hopefully help your overall team's going

213
00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:07,880
Speaker 6: to help you defensively and offensively about you know where

214
00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:09,960
Speaker 6: the opponent starts and then if you get the ball back.

215
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:12,120
Speaker 6: So there was a couple of instances there where we

216
00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:14,360
Speaker 6: were able to flip the field, control field position. But

217
00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:16,959
Speaker 6: you know, when we signed Cam three years ago, I mean,

218
00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:20,680
Speaker 6: he was a talented player, had an explosive leg at times,

219
00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:23,040
Speaker 6: you know, was a little bit inconsistent. But I'd say

220
00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:25,120
Speaker 6: since he's come back here from the injury, I mean,

221
00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:28,120
Speaker 6: he's really helped our team and we've been able to

222
00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:30,319
Speaker 6: cover as well, even on some of the longer punts.

223
00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:33,920
Speaker 6: So the interiors sometimes of the coverage those always it's

224
00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:35,360
Speaker 6: a little bit harder, but that's where you have to

225
00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:36,240
Speaker 6: be able to win in the perimeter.

226
00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:36,920
Speaker 1: Win a gunner.

227
00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:39,079
Speaker 6: I mean, Kadar and D'Angelo have given us some good

228
00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:41,680
Speaker 6: plays t t when he's been out there, So it's

229
00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:44,120
Speaker 6: similar to offensive defense. Everything's kind of tied together. Like

230
00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:46,400
Speaker 6: you have a good punter who can flip the field,

231
00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:48,280
Speaker 6: you got to be able to cover right, so you

232
00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:49,520
Speaker 6: have to be able to get down the field, and

233
00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:52,319
Speaker 6: we were able to limit the yards you know, after

234
00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:55,240
Speaker 6: the catch down the returns made a number of tackles

235
00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:56,839
Speaker 6: either at the spot of the catch or a few

236
00:09:56,880 --> 00:09:59,559
Speaker 6: yards after. So we put a lot of emphasis in

237
00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:02,000
Speaker 6: the kicking take a lot of pride in that area.

238
00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:03,959
Speaker 6: It's a huge part of the game. I mean, it's

239
00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:05,960
Speaker 6: the third of the game, so you have to allocate

240
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:07,480
Speaker 6: time and resources, and if you want to be good

241
00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:10,079
Speaker 6: in the kicking game, you hopefully have good players that

242
00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:12,160
Speaker 6: reinforce that. And you know, Cam's done a good job.

243
00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:13,400
Speaker 6: And I think one of the things that gets a

244
00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:15,200
Speaker 6: little bit on your soul sometimes too is a holding.

245
00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:17,280
Speaker 1: So he's a very good holder.

246
00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:20,960
Speaker 6: Which I'd say gives the long snapper and the kicker comfort.

247
00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:23,440
Speaker 6: So you know, Cam's done a good job and there's

248
00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:25,120
Speaker 6: a lot of respect of everybody in the building.

249
00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:28,720
Speaker 4: Nick, you talked about running game production, passing game production.

250
00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:31,600
Speaker 4: We had the knockdowns of the passes, four of those

251
00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:34,360
Speaker 4: in the game, and it just wasn't what we were

252
00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:37,880
Speaker 4: noticing in previous weeks. But there were some moments. So

253
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:39,920
Speaker 4: what are you seeing there and what needs to be

254
00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:40,960
Speaker 4: done moving forward?

255
00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:43,800
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, Caroline did a good job. They're able

256
00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:44,959
Speaker 6: to get their hands in the passing it in a

257
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:46,920
Speaker 6: little bit. I think some of those by design the

258
00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:49,280
Speaker 6: kind of the way they were rushing a quarterback. So

259
00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:51,800
Speaker 6: those are gonna happen. It's gonna happen. It's got to

260
00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:53,679
Speaker 6: try to find a throwing lanes and you know, it's

261
00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:55,680
Speaker 6: continue to try to find positive plays, try to find

262
00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:59,040
Speaker 6: some explosive plays because it helps you. It's gonna help

263
00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:00,520
Speaker 6: you move the football. So I think we have a

264
00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:03,640
Speaker 6: lot of confidence in the players that are involved in

265
00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:05,719
Speaker 6: that phase, a lot of confidence in the passing game

266
00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:10,200
Speaker 6: in general. So you know, hopefully we can continue, you know,

267
00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:12,880
Speaker 6: progress moving forward here in that phase. You know, have

268
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:15,200
Speaker 6: we have explosive players, you know, we have good players

269
00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:18,760
Speaker 6: in that area, have a good quarterback, so hopefully we

270
00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:21,319
Speaker 6: can you know, string together some positive plays here against

271
00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:23,520
Speaker 6: that would say, a pretty good pass defense. Yeah, we're

272
00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:24,320
Speaker 6: gonna see this weekend.

273
00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:26,360
Speaker 1: Okay, Carolina behind us. We're greed.

274
00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:30,000
Speaker 2: Caroline's behind us. Got Tampa Bay. Uh taking on the Buccaneers.

275
00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:32,760
Speaker 2: A lot of talented dudes. We're of the biggest and

276
00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:34,960
Speaker 2: most athletic dudes you ever going to see. Didn't play

277
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:37,240
Speaker 2: last week for the Veya. I would imagine you don't

278
00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:39,880
Speaker 2: play this week against us kind of problems do the

279
00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:40,920
Speaker 2: the Buccaneers provide?

280
00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:42,480
Speaker 1: Nick, we's got a report in Tampa Bay.

281
00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:44,640
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean it's probably a good place to start.

282
00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:47,040
Speaker 6: I mean, you know, Todd really is. I mean he's

283
00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:49,280
Speaker 6: the head coach, but he's also the defensive play caller,

284
00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:52,000
Speaker 6: so he's very immersed. And Todd has a very aggressive

285
00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:55,400
Speaker 6: style of football. It makes your work on every play.

286
00:11:55,880 --> 00:11:57,560
Speaker 6: They don't give up a lot of big plays. They're

287
00:11:57,760 --> 00:12:00,240
Speaker 6: very I would say, you know, not a pressure team,

288
00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:02,240
Speaker 6: but they're a pressure team, like they're gonna blitz.

289
00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:03,839
Speaker 1: I mean a lot of guys are gonna blitz.

290
00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:07,079
Speaker 6: And i'd say Via not playing against Buffalo I think

291
00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:09,920
Speaker 6: was a big part of the game. I mean his size,

292
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:12,520
Speaker 6: his strength, and then you combine that with his athleticism.

293
00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:13,920
Speaker 6: I mean it's a little bit like we talked about

294
00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:16,800
Speaker 6: with Grover. I mean, he's he's a tremendous factor on

295
00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:19,600
Speaker 6: the inside part there, so he's the key to the front.

296
00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:21,720
Speaker 6: I mean, Kansi's you know, giving him some good snaps

297
00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:23,760
Speaker 6: here in a pass rush since he's been on a field,

298
00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:26,599
Speaker 6: you know, two good edge players and try On and

299
00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:28,599
Speaker 6: Shaq Barrett and Shack's been doing it here, you know,

300
00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:30,719
Speaker 6: for a long time. And then I'd say as a

301
00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:34,120
Speaker 6: tandem you know, White and David, I mean, to a

302
00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:37,200
Speaker 6: better linebacker groups, to the better linebackers we're gonna see

303
00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:39,640
Speaker 6: in Unison this season.

304
00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:40,600
Speaker 1: So very athletic.

305
00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:43,800
Speaker 6: I mean, LaMonte feels like he's been playing forever, but

306
00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:45,920
Speaker 6: he's still I mean, I mean he's looking at the

307
00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:47,839
Speaker 6: other day. I'm almost like, I don't know, twelve hundred

308
00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:50,800
Speaker 6: snaps over the court, some ridiculous amount of snaps, one

309
00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:54,840
Speaker 6: hundred tackles, like nine of ten years, so instinctive, fast

310
00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:58,760
Speaker 6: aware around the ball. Winfield has done a really good

311
00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:02,439
Speaker 6: job of getting a ball all off of people. He's

312
00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:04,440
Speaker 6: when he's down there line of scrimmage, he's a factor

313
00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:07,360
Speaker 6: as a blitzer. And it's two good you know corners

314
00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:10,880
Speaker 6: and Dean and Davis long corners, and there again she

315
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:13,240
Speaker 6: getting a lot of production out of easing and drafted

316
00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:16,520
Speaker 6: rookie as their nickel, So they cause a lot of havoc.

317
00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:18,600
Speaker 6: They present a lot of problems on the defensive side

318
00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:20,760
Speaker 6: of the ball. They're the top amongst the top red

319
00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:23,360
Speaker 6: area teams in the league, so points at a premium,

320
00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:25,040
Speaker 6: so to make you earn it once you get the

321
00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:26,000
Speaker 6: ball into the red area.

322
00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:28,720
Speaker 1: Then offensively, i mean, Baker's done a good job for them.

323
00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:29,520
Speaker 1: I mean he's really come in.

324
00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:32,839
Speaker 6: He played well, you know, early in the years, athletic guy,

325
00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:36,280
Speaker 6: big strong arm, kind of has a makeup play mentality.

326
00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:38,559
Speaker 6: He's done a good job for their offense, he really has.

327
00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:41,160
Speaker 6: And then Mike's a problem on the perimeter. I think

328
00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:44,120
Speaker 6: Godwin is a versatile I would say, kind of do

329
00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:46,760
Speaker 6: everything kind of player who's key in some of the

330
00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:50,800
Speaker 6: critical situations. And they're playing someone, you know, some rookies here,

331
00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:54,400
Speaker 6: and Tompkins has giving him some plays in the kicking game.

332
00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:58,000
Speaker 6: Pretty good offensive line, and i'd say White has probably

333
00:13:58,040 --> 00:14:01,880
Speaker 6: been their most productive running back. Good in a kicking game.

334
00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:03,560
Speaker 6: Speaking of the kicking game, they have a good punter

335
00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:06,760
Speaker 6: as well, so good punter I'm a good kicker, so

336
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:09,640
Speaker 6: certainly can present some challenges. I would say, similar to

337
00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:11,040
Speaker 6: maybe some of the things that we've seen of the

338
00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:13,400
Speaker 6: last few weeks from Carolina, New Orleans, even going back

339
00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:13,960
Speaker 6: to Atlanta.

340
00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:16,720
Speaker 1: So you know, certainly have a work cutout for us

341
00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:17,440
Speaker 1: against a good team.

342
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:20,480
Speaker 4: All Right, The make a play mentality, I want you

343
00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:24,040
Speaker 4: to get into that because it doesn't only apply to quarterbacks, right,

344
00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:26,840
Speaker 4: And it's the old bum Philips quote, maybe two kinds

345
00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:29,040
Speaker 4: of players aren't worth it. One that only does what

346
00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:30,880
Speaker 4: he's told, one that never does what he's told. You

347
00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:32,720
Speaker 4: kind of need guys to sort of take it upon

348
00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:35,480
Speaker 4: themselves sometimes, Is that it or part of it?

349
00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:36,040
Speaker 1: Yeah?

350
00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:38,120
Speaker 6: I mean, ultimately it's a player's game, so just trying

351
00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:39,960
Speaker 6: to figure out a way to either keep a play

352
00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:42,640
Speaker 6: alive or make a player. And I think one of

353
00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:44,520
Speaker 6: the things that Baker does he has a good feel

354
00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:47,120
Speaker 6: and maneuver. He maneuvers himself out of the pocket and

355
00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:50,240
Speaker 6: kind of keep plays alive and he can make plays

356
00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:52,640
Speaker 6: with his feet. So I think sometimes it's just trying

357
00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:54,320
Speaker 6: to figure out a way to keep a play alive

358
00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:57,600
Speaker 6: and trying to make a positive play. You know, you

359
00:14:57,720 --> 00:14:59,600
Speaker 6: want to make sure with that mindset, you're not like

360
00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:01,560
Speaker 6: over aggressive. You know, you want to make sure it's

361
00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:04,000
Speaker 6: within the context of what you're trying to accomplish offensively.

362
00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:07,080
Speaker 6: So so there's several players like that. Ultimately, it's about

363
00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:10,520
Speaker 6: making plays and it's about your playmakers, whomever they are,

364
00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:14,080
Speaker 6: so whether it's a quarterback, whether it's an offensive skill position.

365
00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:16,960
Speaker 6: So I would say he's certainly emblematic of that, and

366
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:18,840
Speaker 6: there are enough of examples of that. If you don't

367
00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:20,920
Speaker 6: account for him kind of his ability to keep plays

368
00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:24,280
Speaker 6: alive and keep him in the pocket, then extending plays

369
00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:26,400
Speaker 6: taxes the coverage, which.

370
00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:28,520
Speaker 1: Could open up, you know, some other things. So I

371
00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:30,760
Speaker 1: would say that's probably where it falls more than anything else.

372
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:31,160
Speaker 4: Nick.

373
00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:32,400
Speaker 2: Obviously, I don't want you to get into a game

374
00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:34,160
Speaker 2: plan anything like that, and that's not really what I'm

375
00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:38,200
Speaker 2: asking here. But I mentioned vidavea earlier, and we've seen

376
00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:40,120
Speaker 2: over the years what that guy can do. And I

377
00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:41,920
Speaker 2: would imagine as you go into a game, you're like,

378
00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:44,880
Speaker 2: we got to block fifty, Like we have to block fifty,

379
00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:46,440
Speaker 2: and there might be some things that you do to

380
00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:49,560
Speaker 2: account for a guy that can wreck the inside if

381
00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:52,680
Speaker 2: he's not able to play, How does that change the

382
00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:57,520
Speaker 2: way you go about, you know, protecting or blocking in

383
00:15:57,600 --> 00:15:59,240
Speaker 2: the run game against the guy like that.

384
00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:01,560
Speaker 1: If you know he he's there, these are some things

385
00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:01,760
Speaker 1: you do.

386
00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:05,040
Speaker 2: But if he's not there, does that change significantly how

387
00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:06,080
Speaker 2: you might go about things.

388
00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:07,360
Speaker 1: No, that's a good question.

389
00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:10,040
Speaker 6: I think each week you go into it and figure

390
00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:11,360
Speaker 6: out our what are the things that we need to

391
00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:13,440
Speaker 6: do in order to have success Offensively? Who do we

392
00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:15,720
Speaker 6: have to account for? Who are the players that potentially

393
00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:17,960
Speaker 6: could be factors, And he's at the top of the list.

394
00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:20,440
Speaker 6: If he doesn't play, it's not necessarily going to change

395
00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:22,320
Speaker 6: how they play Defensively, They're still going to have the

396
00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:24,480
Speaker 6: front structure, They're still going to have the same calls.

397
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:27,360
Speaker 6: Maybe there's some things in a running game that maybe

398
00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:30,120
Speaker 6: you didn't think you would be able to use, that

399
00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:32,200
Speaker 6: you might be able to incorporate. So some of this

400
00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:34,120
Speaker 6: a little bit of cat and mouse. You know, if

401
00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:36,280
Speaker 6: he is playing, all right, there's certain things that you're

402
00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:38,200
Speaker 6: probably going to want to use. Other things maybe not

403
00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:40,640
Speaker 6: as effective. Let's try something else. So a lot of

404
00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:43,560
Speaker 6: his understanding the personnel, how they use them, and if

405
00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:46,080
Speaker 6: a player is going to impact the game, it's easier

406
00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:46,800
Speaker 6: said than done.

407
00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:49,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, we're going to do this. Okay, well how are

408
00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:50,400
Speaker 1: we going to do it? How are we going to

409
00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:51,000
Speaker 1: account for it?

410
00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:54,840
Speaker 6: So again, you try to attack weaknesses and you know,

411
00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:56,840
Speaker 6: take We got to try to take away their strengths.

412
00:16:57,760 --> 00:17:01,800
Speaker 6: So the expectation is you have to plan as if

413
00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:04,040
Speaker 6: he's going to play, and if he doesn't play, then

414
00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:05,600
Speaker 6: you can modify it just as you go.

415
00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:08,040
Speaker 4: I wanted to ask you about this because I'm watching

416
00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:10,840
Speaker 4: the Lions on Monday Night football. Not specific to them, Nick,

417
00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:14,200
Speaker 4: but you do a lot of scouting of players and offense, defense,

418
00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:17,760
Speaker 4: What about franchises, whether they be on the rise or

419
00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:21,040
Speaker 4: in decline, and the analytics that go into that sort

420
00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:21,280
Speaker 4: of thing.

421
00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:23,240
Speaker 5: What makes this team a winning team?

422
00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:27,159
Speaker 4: And is there some sort of intangible or other measurable

423
00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:29,720
Speaker 4: that we're not seeing, or what makes this team a

424
00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:31,359
Speaker 4: team that's not doing as well lately?

425
00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:32,960
Speaker 5: How much do you get into that sort of stuff.

426
00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:34,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's no magic formula.

427
00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:35,200
Speaker 9: It's hard.

428
00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:38,440
Speaker 1: I think there was a stat I was reading the

429
00:17:38,520 --> 00:17:38,920
Speaker 1: other day.

430
00:17:39,080 --> 00:17:41,040
Speaker 6: I don't know, seventy percent of the game so far

431
00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:43,440
Speaker 6: in the league, seventy seventy five percent. I've been one

432
00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:46,280
Speaker 6: score games going into the fourth quarter. I mean, it's

433
00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:49,920
Speaker 6: a ridiculous stat So essentially what it says is put

434
00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:51,800
Speaker 6: yourself in a position when the fourth quarter you have

435
00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:54,040
Speaker 6: an opportunity to win the game and you can either

436
00:17:54,119 --> 00:17:57,280
Speaker 6: make the winning plays or you don't. And I would

437
00:17:57,320 --> 00:17:59,080
Speaker 6: say we've been kind of on the other end of

438
00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:01,760
Speaker 6: that spectrum, you know, in a couple of the games here, right, Look,

439
00:18:01,800 --> 00:18:04,640
Speaker 6: we talked about going back to Carolina, going back to Atlanta.

440
00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:07,439
Speaker 1: So there's no necessarily magic formula.

441
00:18:07,680 --> 00:18:09,760
Speaker 6: It's about getting good players with the right mindset and

442
00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:12,159
Speaker 6: the right mentality, having a good coaching staff, and then

443
00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:15,440
Speaker 6: everybody understanding what you're trying to accomplish, and then just

444
00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:17,880
Speaker 6: doing everything you can during the course of the week

445
00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:20,359
Speaker 6: to prepare forever that opponent is you can put the

446
00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:22,960
Speaker 6: best product on the field and then wipe this sleigh

447
00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:25,600
Speaker 6: clean and going on to the next thing. So i'd

448
00:18:25,640 --> 00:18:28,840
Speaker 6: linking to your question mark, there's like analytics or anything specific.

449
00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:33,359
Speaker 6: It's it's just over time, you want to try to

450
00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:36,040
Speaker 6: have more things go in your favor than go against.

451
00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:39,640
Speaker 6: So I wouldn't say there's anything you know, revolutionary, it's

452
00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:43,679
Speaker 6: just good players, good coaches that play well in critical situations.

453
00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:45,440
Speaker 2: I think I know the answer this question, but I'm

454
00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:48,840
Speaker 2: asking anyways because I like to talk about it. Any

455
00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:52,280
Speaker 2: kind of trade deadline, draft night, any of those. Whenever

456
00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:53,879
Speaker 2: I see you on those days, I think, oh, man,

457
00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:56,600
Speaker 2: he's got his mind's got racing. Man, it's draft night,

458
00:18:56,720 --> 00:18:59,680
Speaker 2: or it's trade deadline, and yet even killed the whole

459
00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:02,000
Speaker 2: time because you know, your preparation gets you where you

460
00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:02,399
Speaker 2: want to go.

461
00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:04,880
Speaker 1: But today is the trade deadline.

462
00:19:05,359 --> 00:19:07,680
Speaker 2: I'm sure you probably get calls or probably things that happen,

463
00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:09,800
Speaker 2: but still seem pretty calm about it. How do you

464
00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:12,199
Speaker 2: kind of feel with something like the trade deadline kind

465
00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:15,680
Speaker 2: of upon you, like we talk about it like I mean,

466
00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:17,040
Speaker 2: like is our phone ringing?

467
00:19:17,119 --> 00:19:17,560
Speaker 7: What's going on?

468
00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:19,800
Speaker 1: And you just kind of go about it and do

469
00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:20,240
Speaker 1: your job.

470
00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:22,520
Speaker 6: Yeah, it goes back to it's really about your preparation.

471
00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:26,520
Speaker 6: So when the actual day arrives, it's whatever's going to happen.

472
00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:29,000
Speaker 6: Typically there's a build up and the work has been

473
00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:31,000
Speaker 6: done behind the scenes. So once you get to that

474
00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:34,879
Speaker 6: actual day, you're either prepared to do something or you're not.

475
00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:37,040
Speaker 6: Or if something comes to fruition, so be it. If

476
00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:39,480
Speaker 6: it doesn't, then you know, you just keep moving forward

477
00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:42,880
Speaker 6: to the next transaction. So we're gonna have multiple transactions

478
00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:44,640
Speaker 6: here this week just because of where we are as

479
00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:47,040
Speaker 6: a team. So it's you're managing the team day to day.

480
00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:49,359
Speaker 6: I think it's kind of like the draft and beginning

481
00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:52,680
Speaker 6: of free agency. There's certain days on the calendar that

482
00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:56,080
Speaker 6: are circled where I'd say people have a more heightened

483
00:19:56,080 --> 00:20:02,040
Speaker 6: awareness or everything is driven towards thaticular day from our perspective,

484
00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:04,159
Speaker 6: and it's really just another day on the calendar. So

485
00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:06,320
Speaker 6: in any end, you just try to make good decisions

486
00:20:06,359 --> 00:20:08,879
Speaker 6: for the football team on a consistent basis. That's the

487
00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:10,639
Speaker 6: overarching theme and goal, all right.

488
00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:11,879
Speaker 1: I mean I knew the answer.

489
00:20:15,160 --> 00:20:15,439
Speaker 3: I was.

490
00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:19,359
Speaker 4: Last week we asked you about Halloween. We won't do

491
00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:22,560
Speaker 4: that again, thank god, as we as we entered November

492
00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:23,119
Speaker 4: and I.

493
00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:25,320
Speaker 6: Have a Halloween updates, so I actually have to notice

494
00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:27,440
Speaker 6: when I got home last night, we had a jar

495
00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:29,960
Speaker 6: of candy corn. Unbeknownst to LIKE that that was going

496
00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:32,040
Speaker 6: to be there, so I didn't have anybody it was there,

497
00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:33,920
Speaker 6: So there. I know that was a huge topic of

498
00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:34,920
Speaker 6: discussion last week.

499
00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:39,719
Speaker 1: It was overall candy corn. Candy corn is like Democrats Republicans.

500
00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:44,600
Speaker 4: For some reason, not that extreme wait till Thanksgiving and

501
00:20:44,760 --> 00:20:47,600
Speaker 4: we knocked foods off the table in trades and such.

502
00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:50,959
Speaker 4: But all right, I wanted to power rank the holidays

503
00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:53,880
Speaker 4: one two three because as we entered November, we're into

504
00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:57,199
Speaker 4: Thanksgiving month and then Christmas and all of it. So one,

505
00:20:57,320 --> 00:20:59,160
Speaker 4: two three, power ranked the holidays.

506
00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:05,120
Speaker 6: Nick, I would a Thanksgiving, probably one Christmas, two Christmas

507
00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:07,480
Speaker 6: in Easter, I would say two. There's definitely you know,

508
00:21:07,840 --> 00:21:10,760
Speaker 6: religious surrounded around those holidays.

509
00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:13,439
Speaker 4: So let's say they're tied for a second. You can

510
00:21:13,480 --> 00:21:19,119
Speaker 4: squeeze it a third third, uh Arbor Day, Valentine's Day,

511
00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:21,200
Speaker 4: Valentine Good, not gonna be Halloween.

512
00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:25,000
Speaker 1: Halloween is on a list of ten, is twentieth. I'm

513
00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:26,360
Speaker 1: not a big Halloween. Got Valentine.

514
00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:27,880
Speaker 5: Kids love it. That's which.

515
00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:31,600
Speaker 1: Also my wife appreciates that. Yeah, you're good. My wife

516
00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:33,960
Speaker 1: can't stand Valentine's Day, which is the greatest thing for me.

517
00:21:34,840 --> 00:21:35,240
Speaker 5: I love it.

518
00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:36,000
Speaker 1: I think it's great.

519
00:21:36,359 --> 00:21:36,639
Speaker 5: That's it.

520
00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:38,879
Speaker 1: Next, thanks a lot for joining us, Good luck, thanks fellas.

521
00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:41,400
Speaker 1: All right, great stuff there from Nick Cassario.

522
00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:44,800
Speaker 2: Of course, talking Halloween with him is kind of like

523
00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:49,639
Speaker 2: talking about vegetables and things like that with me, Like

524
00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:52,440
Speaker 2: it's just you know, it's just it's not gonna happen

525
00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:55,280
Speaker 2: too much. But we've come to grips for that. Mark

526
00:21:55,320 --> 00:21:59,000
Speaker 2: practice on Wednesday, No Damien Pierce.

527
00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:02,960
Speaker 1: Now we don't know whatever Damien's dealing with, whether it's

528
00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:04,000
Speaker 1: going to be an issue or not.

529
00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:07,240
Speaker 2: They did add JJ Taylor to the practice squad this

530
00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:11,240
Speaker 2: weekend or this week uh Lasita Smith also acted or

531
00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:14,560
Speaker 2: added to the practice squad. And we've seen teams use

532
00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:16,639
Speaker 2: the practice squad as hey, get yourself ready for a

533
00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:18,840
Speaker 2: week or so, and then when you're ready, we'll bring

534
00:22:18,920 --> 00:22:20,800
Speaker 2: you up to the big squad, the fifty three NS roster.

535
00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:24,000
Speaker 2: But let's say that the Texans have to go into

536
00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:27,560
Speaker 2: this game without Damian Pierce, and it's Devin Singletary, Mike Boone,

537
00:22:28,119 --> 00:22:31,600
Speaker 2: it's kind of your gut tell you about Yeah, I'm

538
00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:34,160
Speaker 2: okay with that. Oh boy, really gonna with Damien? Kind

539
00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:36,000
Speaker 2: of one of your feelings if that's the case. If

540
00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:39,240
Speaker 2: Damien is unable to go. Now I'm not speaking on

541
00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:41,680
Speaker 2: what's gonna happen, but I know he got banged.

542
00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:42,040
Speaker 1: Up a little bit.

543
00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:45,080
Speaker 2: Just see him walk off the field against Carolina. But

544
00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:47,680
Speaker 2: not sure what that's gonna mean. But just your gut reaction.

545
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:50,919
Speaker 2: If that's kind of that's got to come to fruition. Well,

546
00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:52,399
Speaker 2: I'm glad they have time to prepare.

547
00:22:52,560 --> 00:22:54,520
Speaker 4: It's not in the middle of a game where you

548
00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:57,000
Speaker 4: know he can run everything you run with Singletary right,

549
00:22:57,280 --> 00:23:00,720
Speaker 4: and he knows the offense. Obviously he gets roughly half

550
00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:04,040
Speaker 4: the carries last couple of games. But if you have

551
00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:06,320
Speaker 4: a full week to prepare, you can add Mike Boone

552
00:23:06,359 --> 00:23:08,480
Speaker 4: Wrinkles in there. We know they've been running the ball

553
00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:10,040
Speaker 4: with Tank Dell a little bit too. I don't know

554
00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:12,440
Speaker 4: if they feel great about that or not heading into

555
00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:12,800
Speaker 4: this one.

556
00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:13,320
Speaker 9: We'll see.

557
00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:16,000
Speaker 4: But the fact that you can prepare with Boone and

558
00:23:16,040 --> 00:23:18,200
Speaker 4: Singletary and whoever else you want to add to the mix,

559
00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:20,399
Speaker 4: that's good. I mean, they gave beck a couple of

560
00:23:20,480 --> 00:23:22,960
Speaker 4: carries in the last game, one of them for a touchdown.

561
00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:26,440
Speaker 1: So they'll be ready to go. How effective will it be?

562
00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:30,960
Speaker 4: You missed that obviously big blast that Damian Pierce gives you.

563
00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:33,400
Speaker 4: We all know it's no secret the running game hasn't

564
00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:35,000
Speaker 4: gone as well as they wanted to. They ran for

565
00:23:35,040 --> 00:23:37,560
Speaker 4: one hundred and ten last week. It didn't feel like

566
00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:40,720
Speaker 4: one hundred and ten couple of the pops by Singletary

567
00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:43,480
Speaker 4: and Pierce required great individual moves.

568
00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:44,879
Speaker 5: They've got to get better, Johnny.

569
00:23:44,920 --> 00:23:46,200
Speaker 4: I think a lot of this, A lot of the

570
00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:48,639
Speaker 4: answer to your question depends on how well are they

571
00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:50,760
Speaker 4: going to play the offensive line. They have to deal

572
00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:53,680
Speaker 4: with Vitevea and company up front. This is not going

573
00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:56,760
Speaker 4: to be easy. Talk to Gene Heck Deckerhoff about this

574
00:23:56,880 --> 00:23:59,840
Speaker 4: and you'll hear from him, and he says the way

575
00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:02,399
Speaker 4: he's talking about the Buccaneers, but their standards are very

576
00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:04,879
Speaker 4: high recent years. They're not doing a good job on

577
00:24:04,960 --> 00:24:07,000
Speaker 4: defense at all, but you look at the point totals

578
00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:10,600
Speaker 4: very satisfactory. They're top seven in the league right now.

579
00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:12,240
Speaker 4: So I don't know what to make of it. I

580
00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:14,400
Speaker 4: just know they're tough and the Texans have to play

581
00:24:14,480 --> 00:24:15,240
Speaker 4: better on offense.

582
00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:17,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think one of the one of their aspects

583
00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:19,840
Speaker 2: that complicates it, I guess, is the fact that Brevin

584
00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:22,119
Speaker 2: Jordan's been hurt and we didn't get a chance to

585
00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:24,480
Speaker 2: se him against Carolina and the team. Quatoriano got hurt,

586
00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:27,199
Speaker 2: which I got to notice during the game of tiguing

587
00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:29,399
Speaker 2: questionable and I want to say it was an ankle,

588
00:24:29,480 --> 00:24:31,680
Speaker 2: but I don't want to call for sure, but we

589
00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:33,480
Speaker 2: just got to a point where, you know, we didn't

590
00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:35,679
Speaker 2: bring it up to the broadcast because once Carolina took

591
00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:37,360
Speaker 2: over the ball the last six minutes of the game,

592
00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:39,639
Speaker 2: well Carolina took over the ball until the end of the.

593
00:24:39,640 --> 00:24:42,880
Speaker 1: Game from that point. So Texas at Eric Sabert.

594
00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:47,600
Speaker 2: Now you're a Texans fan, Texans history tells you Week two.

595
00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:50,439
Speaker 1: Week two, we went Denver. Yeah, we two.

596
00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:53,000
Speaker 2: We went to Denver last year and the only touchdown

597
00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:56,960
Speaker 2: of that game scored by stew was Texan Eric Saubert,

598
00:24:57,119 --> 00:24:59,639
Speaker 2: who caught it for the Denver Broncos. So he's got

599
00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:02,440
Speaker 2: some good receiving acumen, but he's got to be able

600
00:25:02,480 --> 00:25:05,159
Speaker 2: to do something a blocking game, because Tigan did have

601
00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:08,440
Speaker 2: some struggles against Carolina, but Teagan was blocking I thought

602
00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:10,920
Speaker 2: pretty well in the run game. So I'm curious when

603
00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:14,200
Speaker 2: you throw that into the mix as well. Now, no,

604
00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:17,560
Speaker 2: Teagan Brevin still banged up a little bit. You can

605
00:25:17,640 --> 00:25:19,879
Speaker 2: always use Beck in a number of different ways, so

606
00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:22,200
Speaker 2: you've always got that kind of X factor, if you will.

607
00:25:22,600 --> 00:25:24,680
Speaker 2: But I wonder how that kind of plays into everything.

608
00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:29,239
Speaker 2: On top of one other aspect when you go back

609
00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:30,800
Speaker 2: and you look at the second half drives. I think

610
00:25:30,840 --> 00:25:32,920
Speaker 2: somet'll be pointing this out on Twitter, how much the

611
00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:35,920
Speaker 2: Texans ended up running the ball on first down in

612
00:25:36,040 --> 00:25:40,040
Speaker 2: the second half versus maybe what they do now. The

613
00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:43,280
Speaker 2: Bucks like the blitz. I think CJ's shown that he

614
00:25:43,320 --> 00:25:45,080
Speaker 2: can beat the blitz. I'll be curious to see how the.

615
00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:45,520
Speaker 1: Bucks do that.

616
00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:49,800
Speaker 2: But taking all of that into account now, Sobert added

617
00:25:50,119 --> 00:25:54,760
Speaker 2: instead of Teagan, I feel like it might be past

618
00:25:54,920 --> 00:25:59,119
Speaker 2: first on Sunday, which I'm okay with. I'm quite alright

619
00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:01,680
Speaker 2: with us throwing the ball first before running the ball,

620
00:26:01,920 --> 00:26:05,720
Speaker 2: and then maybe throw Asdres likes to say, throw yourself

621
00:26:05,840 --> 00:26:06,680
Speaker 2: into the running game.

622
00:26:06,760 --> 00:26:08,360
Speaker 5: Yeah, throw yourself into the running game.

623
00:26:08,440 --> 00:26:11,240
Speaker 4: Flex the defense, I call it right, move them around,

624
00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:13,119
Speaker 4: and all of a sudden you hit him with hit

625
00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:17,000
Speaker 4: him with the big run by Singletary, maybe something by Boone.

626
00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:19,040
Speaker 4: How about throwing to the backs a little bit. I

627
00:26:19,080 --> 00:26:20,600
Speaker 4: think they have a lot they can do here. I mean,

628
00:26:20,640 --> 00:26:22,760
Speaker 4: as you mentioned the weapons, they have a lot of

629
00:26:22,880 --> 00:26:26,000
Speaker 4: things they can use here. No Robert Woods again in

630
00:26:26,080 --> 00:26:28,880
Speaker 4: all likelihood, of course, So you're looking at a situation

631
00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:30,880
Speaker 4: where you can spread the ball around to the different guys,

632
00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:33,160
Speaker 4: but you get a pass pro as well. Right, Singletary

633
00:26:33,240 --> 00:26:36,679
Speaker 4: is good at that. Maybe you keep Schultz in at times.

634
00:26:36,840 --> 00:26:40,320
Speaker 4: Maybe soburd factors into that. Qutriano, you know, it's funny

635
00:26:40,480 --> 00:26:44,240
Speaker 4: with him going on ir You really didn't do much

636
00:26:44,280 --> 00:26:47,040
Speaker 4: with him in the passing game, of course, and he's

637
00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:50,200
Speaker 4: kind of hard to notice sometimes, right, how much is

638
00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:52,480
Speaker 4: he in the game? How many snaps does he really play?

639
00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:55,840
Speaker 4: And look, he's not this first round draft choice type

640
00:26:55,840 --> 00:26:58,280
Speaker 4: of athlete, but he's a good athlete and you know

641
00:26:58,359 --> 00:27:00,280
Speaker 4: he can help the squads. So I want to see

642
00:27:00,280 --> 00:27:02,399
Speaker 4: more from him when he gets back healthy. But for

643
00:27:02,520 --> 00:27:04,840
Speaker 4: now you might be right, you might be a throw

644
00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:07,160
Speaker 4: first or throw more off and than that kind of team.

645
00:27:07,760 --> 00:27:09,800
Speaker 4: As I say that, Johnny, you know they want to

646
00:27:09,880 --> 00:27:12,520
Speaker 4: run it is this offense. They want to find a

647
00:27:12,560 --> 00:27:14,960
Speaker 4: way to run it. I think Singletary will be just fine.

648
00:27:15,040 --> 00:27:17,440
Speaker 4: Buffalo lived with him just fine. But Josh Allen was

649
00:27:17,480 --> 00:27:19,679
Speaker 4: a huge part of their running game, and that has

650
00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:21,680
Speaker 4: to get mentioned when you talk about what Singletary was

651
00:27:21,720 --> 00:27:24,280
Speaker 4: able to do on the ground as a Buffalo bill.

652
00:27:24,440 --> 00:27:27,520
Speaker 4: So we'll see I like Stroud running it on occasion,

653
00:27:27,840 --> 00:27:30,719
Speaker 4: but carefully he had that one nice run and then

654
00:27:30,760 --> 00:27:33,679
Speaker 4: he slid kind of forward, which is okay as long

655
00:27:33,720 --> 00:27:34,520
Speaker 4: as you don't get hit.

656
00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:37,640
Speaker 5: But can he baseball slide. I'm sure he can.

657
00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:40,840
Speaker 1: It's funny you say that because.

658
00:27:42,080 --> 00:27:47,439
Speaker 2: I've seen really athletic quarterbacks completely and totally unable to slide.

659
00:27:48,440 --> 00:27:51,600
Speaker 4: I think it's easier said than you got to lift.

660
00:27:51,880 --> 00:27:54,640
Speaker 4: You could really jam your leg if your cleat gets

661
00:27:54,760 --> 00:27:56,920
Speaker 4: caught on a slide. You have to sort of keep

662
00:27:56,960 --> 00:27:59,240
Speaker 4: your feed up and you have to work on it

663
00:27:59,359 --> 00:28:00,920
Speaker 4: in the waste to work on it where you don't

664
00:28:00,920 --> 00:28:01,400
Speaker 4: have to get hurt.

665
00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:03,119
Speaker 2: I mean, you could slide on those kind of slick

666
00:28:04,440 --> 00:28:06,720
Speaker 2: I've seen him out out in the service level of

667
00:28:06,800 --> 00:28:09,199
Speaker 2: guys slide. I kind of had one. Yeah, it's kind

668
00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:13,080
Speaker 2: of like a slipping slide. It's a modified one that

669
00:28:13,240 --> 00:28:15,240
Speaker 2: you can work on your You work on your sliding.

670
00:28:15,280 --> 00:28:17,600
Speaker 2: They work on sliding in training camp, not training camp,

671
00:28:17,680 --> 00:28:18,720
Speaker 2: spring training all the time.

672
00:28:19,160 --> 00:28:20,199
Speaker 1: Uh, doing that way, But.

673
00:28:21,760 --> 00:28:24,159
Speaker 2: I'd much rather see a guy go feet first. But

674
00:28:25,080 --> 00:28:27,000
Speaker 2: I don't care as long as you get down. You

675
00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:30,919
Speaker 2: just get down and protect yourself. And some guys, sometimes

676
00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:34,440
Speaker 2: guys that can't slide may end up going one step

677
00:28:34,560 --> 00:28:36,000
Speaker 2: too far and then they get cracked.

678
00:28:36,119 --> 00:28:37,960
Speaker 5: This was a big issue with David Carr.

679
00:28:38,120 --> 00:28:38,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah.

680
00:28:39,520 --> 00:28:42,720
Speaker 4: So for those who don't remember, Car used to run

681
00:28:42,840 --> 00:28:45,680
Speaker 4: quite a bit. In fact, during Car's time here, he

682
00:28:45,840 --> 00:28:49,800
Speaker 4: was the second leading rushing quarterback in the league behind

683
00:28:49,840 --> 00:28:52,920
Speaker 4: Michael Vick. So it was Vic then Car, top two

684
00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:55,920
Speaker 4: running quarterbacks in the league. Now he ran, I didn't

685
00:28:55,960 --> 00:28:58,440
Speaker 4: know that. Yeah, Vic ran a lot more. But Carr

686
00:28:58,440 --> 00:28:59,680
Speaker 4: could run with the ball. Car was a hell of

687
00:28:59,680 --> 00:29:02,280
Speaker 4: an ad lead could run with the ball. But he

688
00:29:02,560 --> 00:29:05,120
Speaker 4: wasn't sliding enough. He was taking hits. He took hits

689
00:29:05,160 --> 00:29:06,760
Speaker 4: that way. We never talk about that with Carr. We

690
00:29:06,840 --> 00:29:08,720
Speaker 4: talk about the O line and taking sacks in the

691
00:29:08,760 --> 00:29:10,600
Speaker 4: first year with the seventy six sacks and all that,

692
00:29:11,120 --> 00:29:13,600
Speaker 4: but we never talk about he took some hits running

693
00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:16,640
Speaker 4: the ball. And as a sort of I guess it

694
00:29:16,720 --> 00:29:18,760
Speaker 4: was a publicity thing. It was, and it was fun

695
00:29:18,800 --> 00:29:21,480
Speaker 4: for the media. They brought Craig Biggio to practice. Oh

696
00:29:21,800 --> 00:29:24,440
Speaker 4: and he was telling David about sliding and you know,

697
00:29:24,600 --> 00:29:26,880
Speaker 4: all right, whatever, you know, he knows how to say.

698
00:29:26,960 --> 00:29:31,880
Speaker 1: It's not it's not easy. It can be kind of difficult.

699
00:29:32,080 --> 00:29:34,640
Speaker 2: Like you watch you watch good players do it in

700
00:29:34,720 --> 00:29:36,760
Speaker 2: baseball and you're like, oh, he made that. Look he's

701
00:29:38,040 --> 00:29:40,160
Speaker 2: but some guys just can't do it, especially they're running

702
00:29:40,200 --> 00:29:41,160
Speaker 2: the ball to think.

703
00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:42,280
Speaker 1: About Ooh I got a slide.

704
00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:46,000
Speaker 2: It's just it's foreign. It's a foreign concept to them.

705
00:29:46,600 --> 00:29:47,960
Speaker 2: But as the quarterback, you better do it.

706
00:29:48,200 --> 00:29:48,400
Speaker 3: Yeah.

707
00:29:48,480 --> 00:29:49,600
Speaker 1: And I don't know if CJ's got.

708
00:29:49,560 --> 00:29:52,480
Speaker 2: Any baseball in his background, but you would think that's

709
00:29:52,520 --> 00:29:54,440
Speaker 2: where you learn that you learned to do it or

710
00:29:55,360 --> 00:29:57,880
Speaker 2: get out of bounce. And the Texans have a guy

711
00:29:58,120 --> 00:30:01,360
Speaker 2: mark that will keep CJ. Stroud from having to slider

712
00:30:01,480 --> 00:30:03,080
Speaker 2: even get it abounds, So just leave in the pocket.

713
00:30:03,080 --> 00:30:06,400
Speaker 2: That's Laramie tunsl and he stops by for an epic

00:31:31,320 --> 00:31:31,960
Speaker 10: of stories from it.

748
00:31:31,960 --> 00:31:33,320
Speaker 9: I had a lot of stories. I got a lot

00:31:33,360 --> 00:31:36,440
Speaker 9: of stories. People don't understand a lot. I have stories

754
00:31:45,040 --> 00:31:46,400
Speaker 9: great questions, so they made it easy.

755
00:31:46,880 --> 00:31:48,520
Speaker 11: You like not talking about football.

756
00:31:48,520 --> 00:31:51,560
Speaker 10: I remember my first interview with you back in twenty nineteen,

757
00:31:51,640 --> 00:31:54,400
Speaker 10: right after you got traded. You did an interview right

758
00:31:54,440 --> 00:31:56,720
Speaker 10: off the bat, and I was told, Larry does not

759
00:31:56,760 --> 00:31:59,080
Speaker 10: want to talk about football, anything football, and I and

760
00:31:59,160 --> 00:32:00,960
Speaker 10: I and I was really hard to find stuff on

761
00:32:01,080 --> 00:32:03,600
Speaker 10: you because you were not out there the way that

762
00:32:03,680 --> 00:32:05,840
Speaker 10: you are now, Like you weren't on social media. There

763
00:32:06,560 --> 00:32:08,520
Speaker 10: weren't any real stories about you. I didn't even know

764
00:32:08,640 --> 00:32:11,800
Speaker 10: like what you were into. And I feel like since

765
00:32:11,840 --> 00:32:15,840
Speaker 10: twenty nineteen, you've changed so much, both on the field

766
00:32:15,920 --> 00:32:16,560
Speaker 10: and off the field.

767
00:32:16,600 --> 00:32:19,360
Speaker 11: But where do you think you have changed the most?

768
00:32:19,920 --> 00:32:21,760
Speaker 9: I have opened up a lot more, I can. I

769
00:32:21,800 --> 00:32:24,360
Speaker 9: can actually say that I was still in my shield.

770
00:32:24,360 --> 00:32:26,120
Speaker 9: I was trying to get over that that incident that

771
00:32:26,160 --> 00:32:28,360
Speaker 9: happened in twenty sixteen at the draft. I was still

772
00:32:28,400 --> 00:32:30,200
Speaker 9: trying to get over that. You know, I just wanted

773
00:32:30,240 --> 00:32:31,960
Speaker 9: to open up more, get let a lot of people

774
00:32:32,040 --> 00:32:34,120
Speaker 9: know who I am, and just be comfortable just doing that.

775
00:32:34,320 --> 00:32:36,080
Speaker 10: You know a lot of people don't know that. Okay,

776
00:32:36,120 --> 00:32:39,640
Speaker 10: we did that interview. Second interview was last year because

777
00:32:39,920 --> 00:32:42,120

00:39:59,360 --> 00:40:02,040
Speaker 10: the last three three head coaches, a lot of stuff

963
00:40:02,080 --> 00:40:05,080
Speaker 10: had changed. Like you could have been like, you know what,

00:40:07,600 --> 00:40:09,239
Speaker 10: head coach, like I want to go somewhere else, But

966
00:40:09,360 --> 00:40:12,960
Speaker 10: you really wanted to come back here, even knowing that

967
00:40:13,040 --> 00:40:14,319
Speaker 10: there was going to be a new head coach.

968
00:40:14,680 --> 00:40:16,760
Speaker 11: So why why did you want to stay at Texan?

969
00:40:16,880 --> 00:40:19,920
Speaker 9: I believe in his program, like I believe like everything

970
00:40:20,040 --> 00:40:21,640
Speaker 9: was going to change and head into the right direction.

971
00:40:21,719 --> 00:40:23,279
Speaker 9: And look what you did? Where's that? I knew it

972
00:40:23,320 --> 00:40:25,200
Speaker 9: was going to get a franchise quarterback. That's so baller.

973
00:40:25,760 --> 00:40:27,360
Speaker 11: And then you knew that you did not know?

974
00:40:28,160 --> 00:40:29,960
Speaker 9: I knew it because I knew, like things not going

975
00:40:30,040 --> 00:40:31,640
Speaker 9: to stay the same for for so long, you know

976
00:40:31,680 --> 00:40:33,359
Speaker 9: what I mean? So I knew things going to change round.

977
00:40:33,400 --> 00:40:34,800
Speaker 9: I wanted to be a part of that, you know.

978
00:40:34,840 --> 00:40:37,440
Speaker 9: I wanted to be a part of a rebuilding franchise

979
00:40:37,560 --> 00:40:39,319
Speaker 9: and you know, be the head guy in.

980
00:40:39,320 --> 00:40:41,640
Speaker 10: That franchise as a player when you're because you've been

981
00:40:41,680 --> 00:40:43,600
Speaker 10: through it now a couple of times when a coach,

982
00:40:44,040 --> 00:40:46,200
Speaker 10: when there's a coaching search is going on and you

983
00:40:46,239 --> 00:40:48,160
Speaker 10: see all the coaches in the coaching cycle, Like what

984
00:40:48,400 --> 00:40:50,719
Speaker 10: was your reaction when because all these teams wanted to

985
00:40:50,800 --> 00:40:51,600
Speaker 10: hire Tamiko Ryans.

986
00:40:51,640 --> 00:40:52,360
Speaker 11: I think he had a.

987
00:40:52,440 --> 00:40:56,399
Speaker 10: Request from every single open position and then he comes here,

988
00:40:56,680 --> 00:40:58,320
Speaker 10: So like, what was your reaction was?

989
00:40:58,400 --> 00:41:00,879
Speaker 9: I was excited? Yeah, I player, I feel like that's

990
00:41:00,920 --> 00:41:02,400
Speaker 9: what we needed. A former player, a players.

991
00:41:02,680 --> 00:41:04,680
Speaker 11: You never have you ever played for a former player

992
00:41:04,719 --> 00:41:05,439
Speaker 11: as a head coach?

993
00:41:05,680 --> 00:41:08,960
Speaker 3: I don't think so you haven't here, I have not.

994
00:41:09,280 --> 00:41:09,640
Speaker 9: I have not.

995
00:41:09,960 --> 00:41:12,080
Speaker 11: Yeah, So what did you like about the fact that,

996
00:41:12,200 --> 00:41:14,320
Speaker 11: I mean, he's a defensive coach that seems.

997
00:41:14,120 --> 00:41:17,239
Speaker 9: To it's not a problem at all. He's young too,

998
00:41:17,560 --> 00:41:19,560
Speaker 9: so he's like he's played, so it's relatable. And you

999
00:41:19,600 --> 00:41:21,120
Speaker 9: know what I mean, I could talk to him be like, oh,

1000
00:41:21,200 --> 00:41:22,840
Speaker 9: how you feel about this or what you think about that?

1001
00:41:22,960 --> 00:41:23,560
Speaker 9: So it's relatable.

1002
00:41:23,640 --> 00:41:25,480
Speaker 11: Yeah, he's not too far removed from the game now,

1003
00:41:25,520 --> 00:41:25,719
Speaker 11: he's not.

1004
00:41:25,840 --> 00:41:27,920
Speaker 9: And he's consistent, like I know what I'm gonna get

1005
00:41:27,920 --> 00:41:30,359
Speaker 9: from the Miko every single day. And that's important for us.

1006
00:41:30,360 --> 00:41:32,320
Speaker 9: I think that's what we needed this franchise.

1007
00:41:32,440 --> 00:41:32,920
Speaker 1: Does it is it?

1008
00:41:33,200 --> 00:41:35,400
Speaker 10: Does it hit different? Knowing that he also was in

1009
00:41:35,480 --> 00:41:36,640
Speaker 10: your shoes not that long ago.

1010
00:41:36,840 --> 00:41:37,440
Speaker 9: That's different.

1011
00:41:37,480 --> 00:41:40,680
Speaker 10: But he's telling you to do You're like, okay, he's speaking.

1012
00:41:40,360 --> 00:41:43,360
Speaker 11: From a point of first person perspective, like he's done this.

1013
00:41:43,480 --> 00:41:45,080
Speaker 9: That's important. I think that'support for all of us.

1014
00:41:45,280 --> 00:41:47,920
Speaker 10: Yeah, I mean, how many people have the luxury playing

1015
00:41:47,960 --> 00:41:50,640
Speaker 10: for a guy been through it at the level that

1016
00:41:50,719 --> 00:41:52,080
Speaker 10: he's been at, a.

1017
00:41:52,160 --> 00:41:53,880
Speaker 9: Pro player, like he played at a high Look, he

1018
00:41:53,960 --> 00:41:54,440
Speaker 9: didn't know me.

1019
00:41:54,600 --> 00:41:57,680
Speaker 10: Yeah, second year All Pro Defensive Rookie of the Year,

1020
00:41:57,840 --> 00:42:01,880
Speaker 10: like any accolades. He got them there, CJ. One of

1021
00:42:01,920 --> 00:42:03,800
Speaker 10: the first things that CJ said was that after he

1022
00:42:03,880 --> 00:42:06,160
Speaker 10: got drafted him up.

1023
00:42:06,239 --> 00:42:09,080
Speaker 9: H yeah, let's get this ball rolling.

1024
00:42:09,480 --> 00:42:12,760
Speaker 11: I had you watched a lot of CJ in college.

1025
00:42:12,880 --> 00:42:15,560
Speaker 9: I was a big fan of CJ, especially like I

1026
00:42:15,640 --> 00:42:17,759
Speaker 9: think it was like c J Briars, like I was

1027
00:42:17,840 --> 00:42:20,360
Speaker 9: watching both of them, yea. And I think when they

1028
00:42:20,400 --> 00:42:22,680
Speaker 9: played Georgia that's when he won me over. I was like,

1029
00:42:22,800 --> 00:42:24,919
Speaker 9: this dude is balling against a really good team.

1030
00:42:25,080 --> 00:42:25,359
Speaker 8: Uh huh.

1031
00:42:25,400 --> 00:42:28,560
Speaker 10: So on draft night it was CJ. And then oh

1032
00:42:28,640 --> 00:42:31,600
Speaker 10: we trade up Will Anderson and then you were like this,

1033
00:42:31,719 --> 00:42:33,040
Speaker 10: I knew it. I knew this is what we were

1034
00:42:33,080 --> 00:42:33,480
Speaker 10: going to get.

1035
00:42:33,560 --> 00:42:36,760
Speaker 9: Nick was going crazy that day. Nick was going crazy.

1036
00:42:36,920 --> 00:42:38,839
Speaker 9: Nick does a good job. I think Nick like being

1037
00:42:38,880 --> 00:42:40,320
Speaker 9: behind the scenes. I said this the other day in

1038
00:42:40,320 --> 00:42:42,320
Speaker 9: the interview. Nick's like to be behind the scenes but

1039
00:42:43,239 --> 00:42:43,960
Speaker 9: be going crazy.

1040
00:42:44,280 --> 00:42:44,480
Speaker 11: Yeah.

1041
00:42:44,960 --> 00:42:46,440
Speaker 9: Nick knew how to draft Nick.

1042
00:42:46,880 --> 00:42:48,840
Speaker 10: He was wheeling to deal on draft night. He was

1043
00:42:49,040 --> 00:42:51,120
Speaker 10: and as a as a player, like you're seeing all

1044
00:42:51,160 --> 00:42:53,359
Speaker 10: these new new players come in. I feel like last year,

1045
00:42:53,400 --> 00:42:55,200
Speaker 10: I remember all the young guys, the guys that were

1046
00:42:55,239 --> 00:42:58,720
Speaker 10: rookies last year talking about you and you like loved

1047
00:42:59,040 --> 00:43:00,040
Speaker 10: last year's rookie.

1048
00:42:59,840 --> 00:43:03,000
Speaker 11: Like Jalen Damien, and this year I feel like the same.

1049
00:43:03,080 --> 00:43:04,080
Speaker 11: It's the same, same way.

1050
00:43:04,280 --> 00:43:06,279
Speaker 10: But I feel like that's also how you've changed since

1051
00:43:06,320 --> 00:43:07,920
Speaker 10: you got here. I think when you first got here,

1052
00:43:08,400 --> 00:43:10,120
Speaker 10: you were like really quiet, you were chill.

1053
00:43:10,239 --> 00:43:10,839
Speaker 11: You still are.

1054
00:43:11,480 --> 00:43:14,800
Speaker 10: But I think ever since you became captain, like you

1055
00:43:14,960 --> 00:43:17,839
Speaker 10: have just taken on a different role or maybe maybe

1056
00:43:17,920 --> 00:43:20,200
Speaker 10: that was coming and the captain sort of like you

1057
00:43:20,239 --> 00:43:21,560
Speaker 10: felt like you could be more vocal.

1058
00:43:21,719 --> 00:43:23,600
Speaker 9: Yeah, for sure, I could be more vocal, but I

1059
00:43:23,719 --> 00:43:25,520
Speaker 9: kind of like just leave with my actions, you know

1060
00:43:25,560 --> 00:43:27,520
Speaker 9: what I mean. I like I like being consistent with

1061
00:43:27,640 --> 00:43:30,600
Speaker 9: my actions, maybe not not as vocal. I like to

1062
00:43:30,640 --> 00:43:32,359
Speaker 9: put players to the side and talk to them if

1063
00:43:32,400 --> 00:43:34,600
Speaker 9: they need to be like talked to. But there's more

1064
00:43:34,600 --> 00:43:36,680
Speaker 9: of like actions with me, Like I try to stay

1065
00:43:36,719 --> 00:43:37,920
Speaker 9: consistent with everything I do.

1066
00:43:38,280 --> 00:43:40,600
Speaker 10: Will you be will you tell a player if you think, like, hey,

1067
00:43:40,880 --> 00:43:43,000
Speaker 10: you shouldn't you should do it? Like will you be

1068
00:43:43,120 --> 00:43:44,400
Speaker 10: critical of a player too?

1069
00:43:44,560 --> 00:43:46,759
Speaker 9: It's more of like, hey, like I think this would work,

1070
00:43:46,840 --> 00:43:51,520
Speaker 9: but I think this will work, like you and see

1071
00:43:51,560 --> 00:43:53,239
Speaker 9: if it works. Yeah, I'll be trying to let them

1072
00:43:53,280 --> 00:43:54,839
Speaker 9: beat themselves. That's important too.

1073
00:43:54,880 --> 00:43:55,040
Speaker 4: You know.

1074
00:43:55,400 --> 00:43:57,040
Speaker 11: Do you find that players come to you for advice?

1075
00:43:57,440 --> 00:43:59,279
Speaker 9: Yeah? I think so. They call me og But I like,

1076
00:43:59,320 --> 00:44:00,480
Speaker 9: this is your a I'm too young.

1077
00:44:01,520 --> 00:44:04,319
Speaker 11: I mean this is year what a eight?

1078
00:44:04,440 --> 00:44:06,520
Speaker 10: You're eight and five with the Texans, which to me

1079
00:44:06,680 --> 00:44:09,319
Speaker 10: is crazy that you've played more of your career here.

1080
00:44:09,400 --> 00:44:12,320
Speaker 11: That's crazy than in Miami. Do you like how in Miami?

1081
00:44:12,440 --> 00:44:15,120
Speaker 10: I feel like every time your name gets mentioned there's

1082
00:44:15,160 --> 00:44:17,320
Speaker 10: this maybe you've seen on social media, there's like this

1083
00:44:17,400 --> 00:44:21,120
Speaker 10: fake statue that they've put it in the stadium.

1084
00:44:21,000 --> 00:44:21,680
Speaker 11: Because of all that.

1085
00:44:22,040 --> 00:44:23,680
Speaker 10: Like, obviously you came here for a lot of picks

1086
00:44:24,200 --> 00:44:27,040
Speaker 10: and nature in those picks. I mean, you're the gift

1087
00:44:27,120 --> 00:44:28,760
Speaker 10: that keeps giving to Miami.

1088
00:44:29,160 --> 00:44:30,520
Speaker 9: That's dintre slog too.

1089
00:44:30,760 --> 00:44:32,399
Speaker 11: Is it really the gift that keeps giving?

1090
00:44:33,480 --> 00:44:35,320
Speaker 9: That is funny? But yeah, no, they actually put that

1091
00:44:35,360 --> 00:44:38,160
Speaker 9: statue up for not for sure they got to put

1092
00:44:38,200 --> 00:44:38,640
Speaker 9: that statue.

1093
00:44:38,680 --> 00:44:40,440
Speaker 12: Oh, they do have to put that statue out. I

1094
00:44:40,480 --> 00:44:42,200
Speaker 12: feel like we should get a statue of you before.

1095
00:44:42,920 --> 00:44:47,160
Speaker 12: Maybe both places can get a statue of it. All right, Yeah,

1096
00:44:47,239 --> 00:44:49,719
Speaker 12: so then you come here, you've been here for five years.

1097
00:44:50,480 --> 00:44:52,640
Speaker 10: Not many people have been here as long as you

1098
00:44:52,760 --> 00:44:54,279
Speaker 10: and have been through all the different codes, like you

1099
00:44:54,320 --> 00:44:57,080
Speaker 10: got here. It was like that you and Titus on offense,

1100
00:44:57,719 --> 00:45:00,239
Speaker 10: your relationship with Titus, I feel like you guys are

1101
00:45:00,520 --> 00:45:03,360
Speaker 10: really close. After you got your deal done, you were

1102
00:45:03,440 --> 00:45:05,680
Speaker 10: very vocal about Titus getting his deal done, and Titus

1103
00:45:05,719 --> 00:45:06,399
Speaker 10: got his deal done.

1104
00:45:07,200 --> 00:45:07,399
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1105
00:45:08,120 --> 00:45:11,160
Speaker 10: Do you think that maybe one day when you retired,

1106
00:45:11,239 --> 00:45:15,320
Speaker 10: this might be your calling, like financially, just like helping

1107
00:45:15,480 --> 00:45:20,120
Speaker 10: players out advice deals done, like kind of like an agent,

1108
00:45:20,320 --> 00:45:22,759
Speaker 10: but like advisor, like an advisor role.

1109
00:45:22,840 --> 00:45:26,080
Speaker 9: I'd be like an advisor manager maybe who knows not the.

1110
00:45:26,120 --> 00:45:27,719
Speaker 11: Agent though, No, you don't want to be an agent,

1111
00:45:27,760 --> 00:45:28,640
Speaker 11: you want to be an advisor.

1112
00:45:28,680 --> 00:45:29,640
Speaker 9: I'd be like advisor.

1113
00:45:29,840 --> 00:45:31,839
Speaker 10: All right, Well, Laramie, it is my last deep slant,

1114
00:45:31,880 --> 00:45:34,440
Speaker 10: And I feel like we always talk about you being

1115
00:45:34,440 --> 00:45:37,520
Speaker 10: an all pro because I feel like you're like really close.

1116
00:45:37,640 --> 00:45:39,799
Speaker 11: What do you think you need to do to get there?

1117
00:45:39,800 --> 00:45:41,720
Speaker 11: I feel like last year you had that type of season.

1118
00:45:41,840 --> 00:45:45,720
Speaker 9: Yeah I did, I did. I don't know. Magic control

1119
00:45:45,800 --> 00:45:47,640
Speaker 9: what I control, and that's being consistent. I think that's

1120
00:45:47,640 --> 00:45:50,200
Speaker 9: one of my biggest things. It's just every game I

1121
00:45:50,320 --> 00:45:52,440
Speaker 9: go to is just like how to stay consistent in

1122
00:45:52,520 --> 00:45:53,839
Speaker 9: the good in the bad, you know what I mean.

1123
00:45:53,920 --> 00:45:56,160
Speaker 9: But also having a bottle of quarterback that might help me.

1124
00:45:56,440 --> 00:45:59,399
Speaker 10: Yeah, there's a lot moreen a lot of You've gotten

1125
00:45:59,400 --> 00:46:01,040
Speaker 10: a lot of as even in losing seasons.

1126
00:46:01,200 --> 00:46:02,839
Speaker 9: Yeah, it's a lot of highs on CJ. So maybe

1127
00:46:02,840 --> 00:46:04,880
Speaker 9: that can help me. And you know, team success is

1128
00:46:04,920 --> 00:46:07,239
Speaker 9: a huge thing and all pro. Yes, so maybe they'll

1129
00:46:07,280 --> 00:46:09,399
Speaker 9: help me too. But just focus on week and focus

1130
00:46:09,480 --> 00:46:11,120
Speaker 9: on Nest winning games and helping the team, you.

1131
00:46:11,160 --> 00:46:13,280
Speaker 11: Know, all right, I'd love to hear best of luck Laramie.

1132
00:46:13,320 --> 00:46:14,359
Speaker 9: Appreciate it, man.

1133
00:46:14,400 --> 00:46:16,680
Speaker 2: I love those two and they do a great, great

1134
00:46:16,800 --> 00:46:20,200
Speaker 2: job together, Laramie, Tunseel and Deep City. Now Laramie is

1135
00:46:20,239 --> 00:46:22,160
Speaker 2: on the injury report? Who else is We'll get to

1136
00:46:22,239 --> 00:46:24,719
Speaker 2: that next in Texans All Access. Yes, sir, welcome back

1137
00:46:24,719 --> 00:46:27,160
Speaker 2: to Wednesday in issue of Texans All Access from the Honday.

1138
00:46:26,920 --> 00:46:28,000
Speaker 1: Texans radio studio.

1139
00:46:28,120 --> 00:46:30,560
Speaker 2: I'm your host, John Harris Football on the sideline reporter

1140
00:46:30,880 --> 00:46:33,600
Speaker 2: for your Houston Texas. Let's dive into this injury report

1141
00:46:33,840 --> 00:46:35,800
Speaker 2: as I mentioned it teas Labor Tunzel is on it.

1142
00:46:35,840 --> 00:46:39,200
Speaker 1: He did not participate in practice today. Deal with that, Neil.

1143
00:46:39,239 --> 00:46:42,880
Speaker 2: But it's also a rest day for Laramie hopefully Laramie

1144
00:46:42,920 --> 00:46:44,320
Speaker 2: will be ready to go. I'm pretty sure he'll be

1145
00:46:44,360 --> 00:46:47,120
Speaker 2: ready to go for Sunday against some of the great

1146
00:46:47,200 --> 00:46:51,440
Speaker 2: pass rushers from Tampa Bay Shack, Barrett, Joe Tryon, Sharyinka.

1147
00:46:51,800 --> 00:46:53,840
Speaker 2: So yeah, looking forward to having larom me back, but

1148
00:46:54,480 --> 00:46:57,240
Speaker 2: did not participate. A couple of big names here. Robert

1149
00:46:57,239 --> 00:46:59,640
Speaker 2: Woods has been talking with Robert missing this game as well.

1150
00:47:00,280 --> 00:47:02,719
Speaker 2: We really missed Robert and we will miss Robert until

1151
00:47:02,719 --> 00:47:05,160
Speaker 2: he's able to come back. Revin Jordan missed the game

1152
00:47:05,200 --> 00:47:08,120
Speaker 2: as well, saying there can oar Holeman deal with the ankle.

1153
00:47:08,480 --> 00:47:12,440
Speaker 2: He was a d m P and Damian Pierce was

1154
00:47:12,480 --> 00:47:14,759
Speaker 2: a d MP with an ankle. Now, the thought is

1155
00:47:14,840 --> 00:47:17,160
Speaker 2: that he might be able to go, but they're kind

1156
00:47:17,160 --> 00:47:19,480
Speaker 2: of examining it. He's not really kind of been ruled.

1157
00:47:19,520 --> 00:47:21,920
Speaker 2: I think they already have not ruled out Robert, but

1158
00:47:22,000 --> 00:47:24,160
Speaker 2: I think the thought is that he's probably not going

1159
00:47:24,239 --> 00:47:28,279
Speaker 2: to be ready to go. So Holman, Jordan's, Damian Pierce,

1160
00:47:28,360 --> 00:47:32,239
Speaker 2: lem Me, TUNTL, Robert Woods, DMPs, George fan Tyas, Howard,

Speaker 7: Another edition of OG podcast. I am in d Kalou

1183
00:48:38,800 --> 00:48:41,440
Speaker 7: and sitting across from me, good buddy of mine. Just

1184
00:48:41,520 --> 00:48:44,440
Speaker 7: a good person. Obviously a great football player, that's how

1185
00:48:44,480 --> 00:48:46,799
Speaker 7: he made it to the NFL, but a better man.

1186
00:48:46,880 --> 00:48:49,360
Speaker 7: If you ask me. Mike Quinn, a former quarterback for

1187
00:48:49,400 --> 00:48:52,520
Speaker 7: the Houston Texans former quarterback in the NFL, joining us

1188
00:48:52,560 --> 00:48:54,640
Speaker 7: for the OG podcast. What's going on, Big Mike?

1189
00:48:55,360 --> 00:48:55,600
Speaker 9: A lot?

1190
00:48:55,800 --> 00:48:56,120
Speaker 2: Not a lot.

1191
00:48:56,160 --> 00:48:58,040
Speaker 8: I appreciate you having me, indeed, And look.

1192
00:48:57,880 --> 00:48:59,960
Speaker 7: I don't say that about everybody just for the listening

1193
00:49:00,080 --> 00:49:02,520
Speaker 7: or is. Mike's one of those guys if you ask

1194
00:49:02,640 --> 00:49:04,719
Speaker 7: him for a favor, and it's hard for me to

1195
00:49:04,800 --> 00:49:07,919
Speaker 7: ask people for favors. If he can do it, he's

1196
00:49:07,960 --> 00:49:09,520
Speaker 7: gonna do it. If he can't do it, he's gonna

1197
00:49:09,520 --> 00:49:11,120
Speaker 7: try to figure out a way to do it. And

1198
00:49:11,600 --> 00:49:14,479
Speaker 7: my experience with Mike, I do a free camp every

1199
00:49:14,560 --> 00:49:17,920
Speaker 7: single year and it's so tough to get former professional

1200
00:49:18,840 --> 00:49:21,600
Speaker 7: quarterbacks guys that know that position to come help out

1201
00:49:21,640 --> 00:49:23,840
Speaker 7: with the camp. Every year I've asked him to do it,

1202
00:49:24,120 --> 00:49:26,920
Speaker 7: he's been there. One year, he almost had a conflict

1203
00:49:27,080 --> 00:49:29,480
Speaker 7: and he figured out a way to get there. So Mike,

1204
00:49:29,640 --> 00:49:30,960
Speaker 7: just you know, from the bottom of my heart, I've

1205
00:49:30,960 --> 00:49:35,319
Speaker 7: always appreciate how accessible you've been, and to me, that's

1206
00:49:35,360 --> 00:49:37,879
Speaker 7: the best part of our camp, you know, because it's

1207
00:49:37,960 --> 00:49:40,040
Speaker 7: tough to it's easy to teach you defensive end, it's

1208
00:49:40,080 --> 00:49:42,600
Speaker 7: easy to teach running backs, but it's tough to teach

1209
00:49:42,640 --> 00:49:45,120
Speaker 7: somebody the skills at the quarterback position and to have

1210
00:49:45,200 --> 00:49:48,239
Speaker 7: a guy like yourself do it and every year show up.

1211
00:49:48,320 --> 00:49:49,520
Speaker 7: I just really appreciate that.

1212
00:49:49,680 --> 00:49:51,920
Speaker 13: Now my pleasure, Indy, And you know that camp is

1213
00:49:52,000 --> 00:49:54,840
Speaker 13: so great. You have so many guys out there helping

1214
00:49:54,920 --> 00:49:57,920
Speaker 13: out and you know, the kids are very lucky to

1215
00:49:58,000 --> 00:49:59,400
Speaker 13: have it. So kudos to you.

1216
00:49:59,480 --> 00:50:00,920
Speaker 7: For appreciate that.

1217
00:50:01,000 --> 00:50:01,120
Speaker 3: Well.

1218
00:50:01,280 --> 00:50:03,520
Speaker 7: Speaking of quarterbacks, the Texans, they have a pretty good

1219
00:50:03,560 --> 00:50:06,919
Speaker 7: one in c. J. Stroud as a guy that knows

1220
00:50:06,960 --> 00:50:08,840
Speaker 7: the position. Can you kind of just talk about what

1221
00:50:08,920 --> 00:50:10,280
Speaker 7: you're seeing from the young rook.

1222
00:50:10,440 --> 00:50:15,160
Speaker 13: Yeah, So so going back we uh So, my family's

1223
00:50:15,160 --> 00:50:18,719
Speaker 13: from Columbus, Ohio, so I grew up a Buckeyes fan,

1224
00:50:19,040 --> 00:50:22,279
Speaker 13: and so we kind of have been following him at

1225
00:50:22,400 --> 00:50:25,160
Speaker 13: Ohio State and we actually went to uh took my

1226
00:50:25,280 --> 00:50:28,399
Speaker 13: son and my wife there last year for the game

1227
00:50:28,440 --> 00:50:29,200
Speaker 13: against Michigan.

1228
00:50:29,520 --> 00:50:30,799
Speaker 8: Uh So that was pretty cool.

1229
00:50:30,960 --> 00:50:34,880
Speaker 13: So he's been a, uh I guess, our favorite college

1230
00:50:34,960 --> 00:50:36,480
Speaker 13: quarterback for a while and then when he came here,

1231
00:50:36,560 --> 00:50:38,400
Speaker 13: my son was like, oh, this is awesome.

1232
00:50:38,640 --> 00:50:40,560
Speaker 8: Uh So it's been great to see.

1233
00:50:40,480 --> 00:50:43,239
Speaker 13: Him, you know, uh, the way he's been playing this

1234
00:50:43,360 --> 00:50:45,719
Speaker 13: year taking care of the football and uh, you know,

1235
00:50:45,840 --> 00:50:48,720
Speaker 13: doing the things that he's doing. So he's he's obviously

1236
00:50:49,880 --> 00:50:53,400
Speaker 13: got so much arm talent and just a uh a

1237
00:50:53,440 --> 00:50:56,400
Speaker 13: good processor of the uh you know, the information that

1238
00:50:56,440 --> 00:50:59,120
Speaker 13: he's getting from the defense and making good decisions that

1239
00:50:59,360 --> 00:51:02,960
Speaker 13: he's gonna to be a very successful quarterback and you know,

1240
00:51:03,120 --> 00:51:05,200
Speaker 13: hopefully break a lot of records here with the Texans.

1241
00:51:05,640 --> 00:51:08,560
Speaker 7: It's it's obviously the toughest position in all sports, in

1242
00:51:08,640 --> 00:51:11,640
Speaker 7: my opinion. And you watched him in college. When you

1243
00:51:11,719 --> 00:51:14,360
Speaker 7: were watching him at Ohio State, did you think, like,

1244
00:51:14,480 --> 00:51:16,760
Speaker 7: this guy is going to translate to a good NFL

1245
00:51:16,880 --> 00:51:20,120
Speaker 7: quarterback or were you a little skeptical of coming to

1246
00:51:20,200 --> 00:51:20,760
Speaker 7: that conclusion.

1247
00:51:20,920 --> 00:51:22,799
Speaker 8: No, I thought he was going to be a great

1248
00:51:22,920 --> 00:51:23,680
Speaker 8: NFL quarterback.

1249
00:51:23,719 --> 00:51:26,120
Speaker 13: He was making big boy throws at you know, at

1250
00:51:26,160 --> 00:51:31,000
Speaker 13: the college level, anticipating anticipating the throws and not just

1251
00:51:31,120 --> 00:51:33,880
Speaker 13: you know, hitting guys that were wide open. You know,

1252
00:51:34,000 --> 00:51:37,000
Speaker 13: he was he was putting putting the ball in tight windows.

1253
00:51:37,200 --> 00:51:40,600
Speaker 13: So that translates to the NFL. And uh, you know

1254
00:51:40,880 --> 00:51:43,960
Speaker 13: what you're seeing with him on Sundays is what he

1255
00:51:44,120 --> 00:51:44,600
Speaker 13: was doing there.

1256
00:51:44,800 --> 00:51:46,600
Speaker 7: I'll tell you what. Even though it was a loss,

1257
00:51:46,960 --> 00:51:50,560
Speaker 7: against Carolina this past week. There was one play where

1258
00:51:51,080 --> 00:51:52,440
Speaker 7: when I was watching the game, I had just sit

1259
00:51:52,560 --> 00:51:54,080
Speaker 7: up in my seat to make sure I watched it

1260
00:51:54,200 --> 00:51:58,120
Speaker 7: correct I saw it correctly. He threw in between two defenders,

1261
00:51:58,400 --> 00:52:00,440
Speaker 7: and I believe it was Noah Brown, but just like

1262
00:52:00,560 --> 00:52:02,799
Speaker 7: you said, you didn't see him just hitting the wide

1263
00:52:02,840 --> 00:52:06,520
Speaker 7: open guy. But it was an amazing throw, amazing cash too.

1264
00:52:06,840 --> 00:52:09,319
Speaker 7: But it was in between two defenders and when I say,

1265
00:52:09,400 --> 00:52:11,799
Speaker 7: they were both within inches of being able to knock

1266
00:52:11,880 --> 00:52:14,120
Speaker 7: it down. But he just throw the need or whatever,

1267
00:52:14,200 --> 00:52:16,800
Speaker 7: y'all say, Yeah, it was pretty impressive not to just

1268
00:52:17,160 --> 00:52:19,480
Speaker 7: have the guts to throw that, but to actually execute

1269
00:52:19,480 --> 00:52:19,960
Speaker 7: it correctly.

1270
00:52:20,120 --> 00:52:20,800
Speaker 8: Yeah, exactly.

1271
00:52:20,920 --> 00:52:22,880
Speaker 13: And he's making those throws and he's you know what

1272
00:52:23,080 --> 00:52:25,440
Speaker 13: was what did he go six games without an interception

1273
00:52:25,840 --> 00:52:29,080
Speaker 13: and you're still making you know, those tight window throws,

1274
00:52:29,120 --> 00:52:31,959
Speaker 13: you know, because you know things happen where ball gets

1275
00:52:32,040 --> 00:52:34,480
Speaker 13: batted or something like that, bounces off a guy or

1276
00:52:34,520 --> 00:52:37,120
Speaker 13: something and it gets intercepted, and you know he hasn't

1277
00:52:37,160 --> 00:52:41,200
Speaker 13: had any of that going on. So it's, uh, it's

1278
00:52:41,239 --> 00:52:42,719
Speaker 13: exciting to see where the team's going.

1279
00:52:43,120 --> 00:52:45,560
Speaker 7: What's the thought process as a guy that played quarterback

1280
00:52:45,600 --> 00:52:49,600
Speaker 7: at a high level, like can you are there times

1281
00:52:49,640 --> 00:52:51,960
Speaker 7: where you hesitate like should I throw it? Maybe not?

1282
00:52:52,120 --> 00:52:54,520
Speaker 7: And I'm assuming the answer is, well, if you're hesitanting,

1283
00:52:54,520 --> 00:52:56,319
Speaker 7: then you just should have made the throw. Like how

1284
00:52:56,360 --> 00:52:57,120
Speaker 7: do you get past that?

1285
00:52:57,640 --> 00:52:57,839
Speaker 1: Oh?

1286
00:52:58,040 --> 00:53:00,920
Speaker 8: Man, it's uh, it's it's a trust thing. I think.

1287
00:53:01,200 --> 00:53:03,040
Speaker 8: You know, you got to go into it committing.

1288
00:53:03,320 --> 00:53:06,719
Speaker 13: You know, probably your little talk to yourself before the

1289
00:53:06,760 --> 00:53:09,520
Speaker 13: game that hey, I'm committing to every play, you know,

1290
00:53:09,640 --> 00:53:11,600
Speaker 13: one play at a time, and you know, I'm gonna

1291
00:53:11,600 --> 00:53:14,360
Speaker 13: trust my eyes, I'm gonna trust my arm, and you know,

1292
00:53:14,920 --> 00:53:17,000
Speaker 13: be decisive with what I'm doing because you're right. If

1293
00:53:17,320 --> 00:53:20,600
Speaker 13: if you're indecisive and you're hesitant, it ain't gonna work.

1294
00:53:21,160 --> 00:53:23,600
Speaker 8: You know, you have to cut it loose and you know,

1295
00:53:23,719 --> 00:53:25,040
Speaker 8: live with the results.

1296
00:53:24,920 --> 00:53:27,160
Speaker 7: Whether it's in college, whether it's in you know, in

1297
00:53:27,239 --> 00:53:29,719
Speaker 7: the pros. Are there ever a coaching because if I

1298
00:53:29,840 --> 00:53:31,960
Speaker 7: was a coach, and this is probably why I'm not one,

1299
00:53:32,200 --> 00:53:34,800
Speaker 7: if I name the guys starting quarterback, I would actually

1300
00:53:34,840 --> 00:53:36,680
Speaker 7: pull him to the side and say, hey, if you

1301
00:53:36,719 --> 00:53:40,600
Speaker 7: throw some interceptions, you're fine. Because if I was a quarterback,

1302
00:53:40,680 --> 00:53:43,279
Speaker 7: I would be so cautious of not turning the ball over.

1303
00:53:43,400 --> 00:53:45,840
Speaker 7: It probably I wouldn't be effective as far as making plays.

1304
00:53:45,880 --> 00:53:48,800
Speaker 7: But do coaches say that to quarterbacks? And does that

1305
00:53:48,960 --> 00:53:50,520
Speaker 7: kind of help you out? If they do?

1306
00:53:50,760 --> 00:53:51,520
Speaker 8: I think some do.

1307
00:53:51,880 --> 00:53:55,279
Speaker 13: I wish more did, because I think that is how

1308
00:53:55,760 --> 00:53:57,759
Speaker 13: you get the best out of a quarterback is if

1309
00:53:57,840 --> 00:54:00,200
Speaker 13: he knows that there's no leash attached to him. You

1310
00:54:00,280 --> 00:54:02,839
Speaker 13: know that he's not gonna you know, he's not looking

1311
00:54:02,880 --> 00:54:05,160
Speaker 13: over his shoulder and going, oh man, if I'm not

1312
00:54:05,239 --> 00:54:08,200
Speaker 13: aggressive with this football, you know, or if i'm too

1313
00:54:08,480 --> 00:54:10,200
Speaker 13: you know, making mistakes, they're going.

1314
00:54:10,160 --> 00:54:10,520
Speaker 9: To pull me.

1315
00:54:11,680 --> 00:54:13,320
Speaker 13: I think the guys that play the best are the

1316
00:54:13,360 --> 00:54:16,799
Speaker 13: guys that have that, you know, that temporary amnesia where

1317
00:54:16,840 --> 00:54:19,920
Speaker 13: they you know, they do something wrong, they throw a

1318
00:54:19,960 --> 00:54:23,560
Speaker 13: pick or something delete, it's gone from their memory and they're.

1319
00:54:23,440 --> 00:54:25,000
Speaker 8: Just cutting it loose the very next play.

1320
00:54:25,280 --> 00:54:28,719
Speaker 13: And the coaches can help the quarterbacks out so much

1321
00:54:28,840 --> 00:54:33,839
Speaker 13: with just you know, reinforcing that, hey, I'm gonna pull

1322
00:54:33,880 --> 00:54:35,560
Speaker 13: you if you're hesitant, I'm not going to pull you

1323
00:54:35,680 --> 00:54:37,840
Speaker 13: if you're you know, decisive and being aggressive.

1324
00:54:37,960 --> 00:54:38,440
Speaker 8: You know what I mean.

1325
00:54:38,560 --> 00:54:41,000
Speaker 7: Yeah, absolutely, that's a great Uh, that's a great thought

1326
00:54:41,040 --> 00:54:42,440
Speaker 7: right there, Like I'm gonna pull you if you're not

1327
00:54:42,719 --> 00:54:43,239
Speaker 7: trying to make that.

1328
00:54:43,360 --> 00:54:44,799
Speaker 13: Yeah, I think that's how you get the best out

1329
00:54:44,800 --> 00:54:46,719
Speaker 13: of them at any level, at any level.

1330
00:54:47,040 --> 00:54:50,560
Speaker 7: What's the toughest part going from college football to the

1331
00:54:50,719 --> 00:54:52,440
Speaker 7: NFL as a quarterback.

1332
00:54:52,440 --> 00:54:55,640
Speaker 13: It's it's so much the speed, you know, and the

1333
00:54:55,760 --> 00:54:59,880
Speaker 13: windows where you know the guys aren't going to be

1334
00:55:00,080 --> 00:55:02,720
Speaker 13: as open in the NFL as they were in college,

1335
00:55:02,920 --> 00:55:05,040
Speaker 13: and you just still got to find a way to

1336
00:55:05,520 --> 00:55:09,279
Speaker 13: you know, speed up your decision making and uh and

1337
00:55:09,360 --> 00:55:11,360
Speaker 13: that kind of thing because it's it's moving so much faster,

1338
00:55:11,480 --> 00:55:15,640
Speaker 13: and then the defenses are more complex, and so just

1339
00:55:15,719 --> 00:55:17,759
Speaker 13: being able to see you with your eyes and then

1340
00:55:17,800 --> 00:55:21,440
Speaker 13: process and information and make decisions. That's that's the biggest

1341
00:55:21,480 --> 00:55:24,080
Speaker 13: difference in the biggest hurdle for guys coming out of

1342
00:55:24,120 --> 00:55:27,839
Speaker 13: college to kind of get get through and in order

1343
00:55:27,880 --> 00:55:29,239
Speaker 13: to be successful at this level.

1344
00:55:29,600 --> 00:55:32,840
Speaker 7: Maybe I'm too hard on the coaches and remind everybody

1345
00:55:32,880 --> 00:55:37,120
Speaker 7: speaking with Mike Quinn played at SFA, Stephen f. Austin

1346
00:55:37,400 --> 00:55:41,080
Speaker 7: played in the NFL, played with Troy Aikman, played with

1347
00:55:41,120 --> 00:55:42,799
Speaker 7: some of the greats out there as well, so knows

1348
00:55:42,800 --> 00:55:45,600
Speaker 7: a lot about the position. But maybe I'm too tough

1349
00:55:45,680 --> 00:55:48,400
Speaker 7: on the coaches, Mike, because I'll watch I watch a

1350
00:55:48,480 --> 00:55:52,200
Speaker 7: lot of college football and I'll see quarterbacks and I'm like, man,

1351
00:55:52,320 --> 00:55:54,239
Speaker 7: that dude is good. And then when they get to

1352
00:55:54,280 --> 00:55:56,600
Speaker 7: the NFL, they don't have the success I expect them

1353
00:55:56,680 --> 00:55:58,720
Speaker 7: to have. And we always put it on the player.

1354
00:55:58,800 --> 00:56:01,800
Speaker 7: But I maybe came to this conclusion like three or

1355
00:56:01,840 --> 00:56:04,400
Speaker 7: four years ago. I'm like, you know what, maybe the

1356
00:56:04,440 --> 00:56:07,840
Speaker 7: people around these guys aren't really teaching them the NFL

1357
00:56:07,960 --> 00:56:09,920
Speaker 7: game the way they should be. I mean, do you

1358
00:56:10,040 --> 00:56:11,960
Speaker 7: have that thought as a guy that played the position

1359
00:56:12,200 --> 00:56:14,680
Speaker 7: that watches and you still train quarterbacks at this day.

1360
00:56:15,160 --> 00:56:18,120
Speaker 8: Yeah, I think it's it's not just one thing.

1361
00:56:18,360 --> 00:56:18,560
Speaker 1: You know.

1362
00:56:18,880 --> 00:56:23,160
Speaker 13: Sometimes, you know, these good college quarterbacks they get drafted

1363
00:56:23,200 --> 00:56:25,440
Speaker 13: and they go to teams that aren't very good, to

1364
00:56:25,560 --> 00:56:30,560
Speaker 13: organizations that are dysfunctional, and it's hard to as a

1365
00:56:30,640 --> 00:56:36,320
Speaker 13: quarterback to really, you know, overcome that and bring everything

1366
00:56:36,680 --> 00:56:37,320
Speaker 13: up around you.

1367
00:56:37,600 --> 00:56:37,759
Speaker 9: You know.

1368
00:56:38,280 --> 00:56:40,759
Speaker 13: I always think about Peyton Manning. You know, his first

1369
00:56:40,840 --> 00:56:43,000
Speaker 13: year with the Colts, I think there were three and thirteen.

1370
00:56:43,480 --> 00:56:46,160
Speaker 13: The next year they were thirteen and three. You know,

1371
00:56:46,320 --> 00:56:47,920
Speaker 13: fact check me, but I think that's what they did.

1372
00:56:48,000 --> 00:56:51,960
Speaker 13: I mean, he turned that organization around, and it was

1373
00:56:52,080 --> 00:56:54,480
Speaker 13: just his work ethic and how he went about it,

1374
00:56:54,600 --> 00:56:59,160
Speaker 13: and obviously very talented as well. But I think getting

1375
00:56:59,200 --> 00:57:01,920
Speaker 13: all the pieces around on the quarterback, not only the

1376
00:57:01,960 --> 00:57:05,840
Speaker 13: players but the coaches is extremely important to get the most.

1377
00:57:05,680 --> 00:57:07,839
Speaker 7: Out of them. But even like Peyton Manning, I'm glad

1378
00:57:07,840 --> 00:57:09,680
Speaker 7: you brought that up, because one thing I do know

1379
00:57:10,280 --> 00:57:13,680
Speaker 7: is his rookie year he threw more interceptions than touchdowns.

1380
00:57:13,960 --> 00:57:16,120
Speaker 7: But there was never this thought that, oh, he's a

1381
00:57:16,200 --> 00:57:18,880
Speaker 7: bus or you're gonna pull him, and then he goes

1382
00:57:18,920 --> 00:57:21,120
Speaker 7: on to have the Hall of Fame career, arguably one

1383
00:57:21,160 --> 00:57:23,840
Speaker 7: of the best quarterbacks ever played. Then you have guys

1384
00:57:23,960 --> 00:57:27,640
Speaker 7: where after three games people are questioning whether or not

1385
00:57:28,280 --> 00:57:31,240
Speaker 7: it's just and maybe I'm just too focused on the negative,

1386
00:57:31,240 --> 00:57:34,400
Speaker 7: but I just feel like many quarterbacks aren't truly given

1387
00:57:34,480 --> 00:57:38,080
Speaker 7: a chance to go through their bumps, where others, you know,

1388
00:57:38,200 --> 00:57:40,120
Speaker 7: Troy Aikman, if I'm not mistaken, they went oh and

1389
00:57:40,200 --> 00:57:43,360
Speaker 7: eleven or one and eleven his rookie year, but you knew,

1390
00:57:43,480 --> 00:57:45,680
Speaker 7: maybe because it's where he was drafted, that he was

1391
00:57:45,720 --> 00:57:48,840
Speaker 7: going to get be given every opportunity. But yet some

1392
00:57:49,080 --> 00:57:52,560
Speaker 7: other guys, you know, after three or four games, people

1393
00:57:52,720 --> 00:57:54,800
Speaker 7: just say, oh, he's not the right fit.

1394
00:57:55,040 --> 00:57:57,120
Speaker 13: Yeah, exactly. I think it's just the world we live

1395
00:57:57,160 --> 00:58:02,120
Speaker 13: in nowadays that it's just changed. Everybody's just expecting immediate

1396
00:58:02,240 --> 00:58:06,240
Speaker 13: results with everything in their lives and that a football

1397
00:58:06,320 --> 00:58:09,800
Speaker 13: is no exception. So yeah, it's it's it's tough for

1398
00:58:09,880 --> 00:58:13,360
Speaker 13: the quarterbacks, you know, to uh get some footing and

1399
00:58:13,440 --> 00:58:16,360
Speaker 13: get some momentum when they when they just they know

1400
00:58:16,440 --> 00:58:20,280
Speaker 13: they're not going to have that many opportunities. And there's

1401
00:58:20,320 --> 00:58:22,480
Speaker 13: some talented guys I think out there that you know,

1402
00:58:23,440 --> 00:58:28,160
Speaker 13: aren't getting another shot just because things went poorly for

1403
00:58:28,800 --> 00:58:31,240
Speaker 13: you know, for one season or you know, with one team.

1404
00:58:32,560 --> 00:58:35,120
Speaker 13: So it's tough, but I think everybody knows it going

1405
00:58:35,240 --> 00:58:37,880
Speaker 13: into it, so they're trying to make the best of it.

1406
00:58:38,160 --> 00:58:43,640
Speaker 2: The Texans Og Podcast with Indie Clue and guest Mike Quinn.

1407
00:58:43,760 --> 00:58:47,240
Speaker 8: Indy that moved to Houston for my last year of

1408
00:58:47,320 --> 00:58:47,760
Speaker 8: high school.

1409
00:58:48,920 --> 00:58:53,440
Speaker 13: We moved in April of my junior year and went

1410
00:58:53,480 --> 00:58:55,600
Speaker 13: to Lee High School here in Houston, which is now

1411
00:58:55,640 --> 00:58:58,520
Speaker 13: called Wisdom And well.

1412
00:58:58,480 --> 00:59:00,240
Speaker 7: Let me tell you there, because that's tough to be

1413
00:59:00,320 --> 00:59:01,200
Speaker 7: a star athlete.

1414
00:59:01,640 --> 00:59:01,880
Speaker 5: I was.

1415
00:59:02,720 --> 00:59:05,160
Speaker 8: There was no star athlete, Yeah, no, it was.

1416
00:59:05,480 --> 00:59:05,680
Speaker 3: I was.

1417
00:59:05,840 --> 00:59:07,640
Speaker 8: I was a backup in Las Vegas.

1418
00:59:07,880 --> 00:59:10,960
Speaker 7: You're a late bloomer. Yeah, you don't get to college football,

1419
00:59:11,480 --> 00:59:13,240
Speaker 7: you know, if you're just decent in high school.

1420
00:59:13,360 --> 00:59:15,680
Speaker 13: Yeah, late bloomer, definitely. I think I was five to

1421
00:59:15,760 --> 00:59:19,320
Speaker 13: five hundred and forty pounds in ninth grade, Yeah, and

1422
00:59:20,080 --> 00:59:23,120
Speaker 13: could always throw the ball, but hadn't really figured out

1423
00:59:23,160 --> 00:59:25,160
Speaker 13: what I was going to do football wise. And I

1424
00:59:25,240 --> 00:59:28,800
Speaker 13: didn't start playing quarterback until tenth grade. And I was

1425
00:59:28,840 --> 00:59:31,560
Speaker 13: a starter on JV out in Las Vegas and then

1426
00:59:31,600 --> 00:59:36,040
Speaker 13: we moved to Houston. I was a backup my junior

1427
00:59:36,120 --> 00:59:38,480
Speaker 13: year and then you know, I kind of saw the

1428
00:59:38,480 --> 00:59:40,120
Speaker 13: writing on the wall. There was another guy that was

1429
00:59:40,120 --> 00:59:42,360
Speaker 13: a much better athlete than me. He ended up playing

1430
00:59:42,400 --> 00:59:46,320
Speaker 13: baseball at Stanford, was a starter in Vegas, and so

1431
00:59:46,440 --> 00:59:48,160
Speaker 13: I saw the writing on the walls, like, hey, I'm

1432
00:59:48,200 --> 00:59:51,400
Speaker 13: not going to play here. And when the my family

1433
00:59:51,560 --> 00:59:53,160
Speaker 13: was like, hey, we're going to move to Houston, I

1434
00:59:53,240 --> 00:59:54,080
Speaker 13: was like, okay, let's go.

1435
00:59:54,480 --> 00:59:57,080
Speaker 8: And so it worked out well. At the school that

1436
00:59:57,280 --> 00:59:58,160
Speaker 8: we were.

1437
00:59:58,080 --> 01:00:01,360
Speaker 13: Zoned for didn't have a quarterback returning, so I was

1438
01:00:01,400 --> 01:00:04,080
Speaker 13: able to go in there and you know, get that job,

1439
01:00:04,160 --> 01:00:07,040
Speaker 13: and uh we did. We did well that season, but

1440
01:00:07,480 --> 01:00:09,439
Speaker 13: wasn't recruited at all. I think I had a few

1441
01:00:09,880 --> 01:00:12,800
Speaker 13: offers to walk on, and since Stephen F. Austin was

1442
01:00:13,000 --> 01:00:15,240
Speaker 13: a team that or the school that showed the most

1443
01:00:15,320 --> 01:00:17,320
Speaker 13: interest in me and said, hey, we really want you

1444
01:00:17,400 --> 01:00:19,560
Speaker 13: to walk on, and you know, we don't have a scholarship,

1445
01:00:19,600 --> 01:00:22,000
Speaker 13: but you know, hopefully if you know things go well,

1446
01:00:22,040 --> 01:00:24,520
Speaker 13: you can earn one. And uh so I walked on there.

1447
01:00:26,480 --> 01:00:29,040
Speaker 13: You know, after after the career at Lee, the one

1448
01:00:29,120 --> 01:00:30,520
Speaker 13: year career at Lee, I did.

1449
01:00:30,560 --> 01:00:32,640
Speaker 7: Not that's very interesting. As long as I've known you,

1450
01:00:32,880 --> 01:00:34,680
Speaker 7: I did not know that. I thought you spent your

1451
01:00:34,840 --> 01:00:38,680
Speaker 7: entire high school career here in Age Town. Uh, because

1452
01:00:38,680 --> 01:00:40,160
Speaker 7: I knew you, I knew you went to a school

1453
01:00:40,160 --> 01:00:44,120
Speaker 7: in Houston. We talked about it before, right then, Steven F. Austin,

1454
01:00:44,240 --> 01:00:47,840
Speaker 7: So you walked on there? When when did you realize, hey,

1455
01:00:47,880 --> 01:00:49,320
Speaker 7: I could play, you know, I could play at a

1456
01:00:49,400 --> 01:00:51,400
Speaker 7: high level. When did it? When did you really get

1457
01:00:51,440 --> 01:00:52,320
Speaker 7: comfortable in knowing that?

1458
01:00:52,520 --> 01:00:52,680
Speaker 1: Yeah?

1459
01:00:52,760 --> 01:00:54,840
Speaker 13: So it was so I got red shirted in my

1460
01:00:54,920 --> 01:01:01,000
Speaker 13: freshman year and then was put on scholarship beginning of

1461
01:01:01,080 --> 01:01:03,520
Speaker 13: my I guess red shirt sophomore year. So going into

1462
01:01:03,560 --> 01:01:07,360
Speaker 13: my second year, head coach John Pierce put me on scholarship.

1463
01:01:07,480 --> 01:01:08,680
Speaker 7: So they definitely saw something.

1464
01:01:08,920 --> 01:01:12,520
Speaker 13: Yeah, I think so, I think so, and you know

1465
01:01:12,640 --> 01:01:16,520
Speaker 13: it was it was not until and I didn't start

1466
01:01:16,600 --> 01:01:19,320
Speaker 13: until my senior year. There we had another quarterback that

1467
01:01:19,440 --> 01:01:21,200
Speaker 13: was really good, that was ahead of me, one year

1468
01:01:21,240 --> 01:01:23,200
Speaker 13: ahead of me. His name was James Ritchie.

1469
01:01:23,840 --> 01:01:25,600
Speaker 7: James. Hey, did he go to Washington?

1470
01:01:26,840 --> 01:01:26,880
Speaker 9: No?

1471
01:01:27,240 --> 01:01:31,000
Speaker 13: He he spent two years with the Oilers, okay, ninety

1472
01:01:31,040 --> 01:01:31,959
Speaker 13: six and ninety seven.

1473
01:01:32,040 --> 01:01:36,280
Speaker 8: He was a backup quarterback no, the Oilers. So he

1474
01:01:36,400 --> 01:01:36,920
Speaker 8: was ahead of me.

1475
01:01:37,040 --> 01:01:39,160
Speaker 13: So I didn't, you know, I had a couple opportunities

1476
01:01:39,200 --> 01:01:42,880
Speaker 13: to start a couple of games my sophomore year when

1477
01:01:42,920 --> 01:01:45,440
Speaker 13: he got banged up, but I wasn't the full time

1478
01:01:45,520 --> 01:01:46,720
Speaker 13: starter until my senior year.

1479
01:01:47,520 --> 01:01:50,160
Speaker 8: But it was I think my sophomore.

1480
01:01:51,160 --> 01:01:54,520
Speaker 13: Yeah, red shirt sophomore year when coach Piers, you know,

1481
01:01:54,720 --> 01:01:57,680
Speaker 13: during practice, just one day, randomly, after a play, he

1482
01:01:57,880 --> 01:01:59,400
Speaker 13: just told me he's like, hey, you're gonna play in

1483
01:01:59,400 --> 01:02:02,920
Speaker 13: the NFL so day and I'm sitting here thinking, are

1484
01:02:03,000 --> 01:02:03,360
Speaker 13: you sure?

1485
01:02:05,280 --> 01:02:08,040
Speaker 8: Because you know, you know, I'd always had that as

1486
01:02:08,080 --> 01:02:08,760
Speaker 8: a dream of mine.

1487
01:02:08,840 --> 01:02:12,680
Speaker 13: But for you know, someone that's you know, uh, that's

1488
01:02:12,760 --> 01:02:18,040
Speaker 13: been around, you know, highly successful college programs, and everything

1489
01:02:18,160 --> 01:02:21,480
Speaker 13: he's seen NFL quarterbacks to tell me that, and that

1490
01:02:21,680 --> 01:02:23,720
Speaker 13: just gave me a lot of confidence. And that's when I,

1491
01:02:23,880 --> 01:02:25,919
Speaker 13: you know, really started to have it in the back

1492
01:02:25,920 --> 01:02:27,960
Speaker 13: of my mind to you know, hey, that's what I

1493
01:02:28,040 --> 01:02:28,360
Speaker 13: want to do.

1494
01:02:28,720 --> 01:02:31,160
Speaker 7: That's awesome. So how did you learn about being put

1495
01:02:31,200 --> 01:02:34,840
Speaker 7: on scholarship, because that's a big deal. Yeah it was.

1496
01:02:35,040 --> 01:02:39,120
Speaker 13: Uh, it wasn't one of those you know things that

1497
01:02:39,240 --> 01:02:42,040
Speaker 13: you see that are filmed nowadays where they announced it

1498
01:02:42,080 --> 01:02:43,720
Speaker 13: to the whole team and everybody goes crazy.

1499
01:02:44,160 --> 01:02:47,520
Speaker 8: It was just a conversation between him and I.

1500
01:02:47,960 --> 01:02:48,080
Speaker 9: Uh.

1501
01:02:48,120 --> 01:02:50,720
Speaker 13: I think it was after practice in the quarterback meeting

1502
01:02:50,800 --> 01:02:52,920
Speaker 13: room and you know, he told me, and yeah, I was.

1503
01:02:53,120 --> 01:02:56,760
Speaker 13: I was pretty excited because just I think maybe three

1504
01:02:56,840 --> 01:02:59,640
Speaker 13: or four months before that, after the spring semester, he

1505
01:02:59,720 --> 01:03:01,600
Speaker 13: told me, hey, you know, I can't put you on

1506
01:03:01,680 --> 01:03:04,760
Speaker 13: scholarship you know, this year, but you know, you know,

1507
01:03:04,840 --> 01:03:08,040
Speaker 13: we'll see how everything goes. And a scholarship opened up,

1508
01:03:08,120 --> 01:03:09,360
Speaker 13: and yeah, he gave it to me.

1509
01:03:09,480 --> 01:03:10,200
Speaker 8: So I was fired up.

1510
01:03:10,240 --> 01:03:11,280
Speaker 7: What was that called like home?

1511
01:03:12,000 --> 01:03:13,680
Speaker 8: It was pretty good? Yeah, it was pretty good.

1512
01:03:13,800 --> 01:03:19,240
Speaker 13: Yeah, I think you know, everybody, everybody was really excited

1513
01:03:19,320 --> 01:03:21,760
Speaker 13: and proud of you know, because I was, you know,

1514
01:03:21,960 --> 01:03:23,880
Speaker 13: putting in the work to try to get there and

1515
01:03:24,040 --> 01:03:27,360
Speaker 13: to have be able to realize what had been a

1516
01:03:27,440 --> 01:03:31,480
Speaker 13: dream of you know, being a scholarship athlete at at

Speaker 8: It came true. So it was pretty cool.

1519
01:03:33,680 --> 01:03:36,800
Speaker 13: Any tears, you know, I don't remember. I think it

1520
01:03:36,880 --> 01:03:40,440
Speaker 13: was more just excitement. Yeah, yeah, just more excitement.

1528
01:04:01,880 --> 01:04:04,960
Speaker 7: off the field. I just saw because we're linked LinkedIn brothers.

1540
01:04:33,720 --> 01:04:36,480
Speaker 13: it translates into into what I do on a daily basis,

1541
01:04:36,600 --> 01:04:39,320
Speaker 13: is just being able to know that, hey, there's not

1542
01:04:39,320 --> 01:04:40,800
Speaker 13: gonna be any food on the table and us I

1543
01:04:40,920 --> 01:04:41,680
Speaker 13: go in here and work.

1544
01:04:41,800 --> 01:04:43,400
Speaker 8: So that's the same thing for an athlete.

1545
01:04:43,440 --> 01:04:44,640
Speaker 13: If you don't go in there and put in the

1546
01:04:44,680 --> 01:04:46,320
Speaker 13: work in the weight room, in the film room, on

1547
01:04:46,400 --> 01:04:48,200
Speaker 13: the practice field, you know you're not going to see

1548
01:04:48,240 --> 01:04:51,680
Speaker 13: the results. So I think it does translate, and I

1549
01:04:51,760 --> 01:04:53,720
Speaker 13: think it's, you know, one of the reasons I've stuck

1550
01:04:53,800 --> 01:04:57,240
Speaker 13: with it. So yeah, I'm lucky to be at the

1551
01:04:57,440 --> 01:04:58,440
Speaker 13: at the company that I'm at.

1552
01:04:58,920 --> 01:05:01,120
Speaker 7: You know what, I disagree. I think they're lucky to

1553
01:05:01,280 --> 01:05:03,400
Speaker 7: have you, just to be the person that you are

1554
01:05:03,720 --> 01:05:07,240
Speaker 7: talking about life after football during this podcast, obviously a

1555
01:05:07,280 --> 01:05:11,400
Speaker 7: bunch of former NFL players, we talk about the struggles,

1556
01:05:11,520 --> 01:05:14,600
Speaker 7: not not a woe was me, but just transitioning. You know,

1557
01:05:14,680 --> 01:05:17,200
Speaker 7: we've been doing this from some guys eight years old,

1558
01:05:17,320 --> 01:05:20,880
Speaker 7: ten years old up until we're grown man, grown men.

1559
01:05:21,080 --> 01:05:23,240
Speaker 7: What were some of the things you had to adjust

1560
01:05:23,360 --> 01:05:26,480
Speaker 7: with to or struggle with when you finally told yourself, Okay,

1561
01:05:26,520 --> 01:05:27,800
Speaker 7: I'm done playing. Yeah.

1562
01:05:27,880 --> 01:05:31,440
Speaker 13: So it was, you know, my career was up and

1563
01:05:31,560 --> 01:05:33,600
Speaker 13: down for you know, the eight years that I was

1564
01:05:33,680 --> 01:05:35,360
Speaker 13: in the NFL. You know, I was on the bubble

1565
01:05:35,400 --> 01:05:38,520
Speaker 13: each year, So I was, you know, never truly felt

1566
01:05:38,560 --> 01:05:42,040
Speaker 13: comfortable that, hey, this is you know, I never knew

1567
01:05:42,040 --> 01:05:46,000
Speaker 13: how long I'd be playing. You know, so when I

1568
01:05:46,400 --> 01:05:50,360
Speaker 13: finally realized that, hey, you know it's probably done, you know,

1569
01:05:50,560 --> 01:05:53,240
Speaker 13: I I struggled with it a little bit, you know,

1570
01:05:53,560 --> 01:05:56,400
Speaker 13: a as most guys do, because I felt like I

1571
01:05:56,440 --> 01:06:00,240
Speaker 13: could still play. And you know when other people don't

1572
01:06:00,240 --> 01:06:03,520
Speaker 13: have the same opinion, you know that that hurts. And

1573
01:06:03,840 --> 01:06:06,600
Speaker 13: you know, it took me a while to become a fan.

1574
01:06:06,560 --> 01:06:07,280
Speaker 8: Of the game again.

1575
01:06:08,360 --> 01:06:11,520
Speaker 13: But I do remember when it when it kind of

1576
01:06:11,840 --> 01:06:13,840
Speaker 13: changed and I said, okay, I'm done, and you know,

1577
01:06:13,920 --> 01:06:15,600
Speaker 13: I started to become a fan of the game again.

1578
01:06:15,640 --> 01:06:18,160
Speaker 13: It was it was probably two or three years after

1579
01:06:18,280 --> 01:06:22,320
Speaker 13: I officially kind of, you know, realize that, hey, retirement

1580
01:06:22,440 --> 01:06:23,840
Speaker 13: is here for this chapter.

1581
01:06:24,040 --> 01:06:29,480
Speaker 2: You know. Quinn, former Texas quarterback with Texan's Og podcast

1582
01:06:29,680 --> 01:06:32,000
Speaker 2: star in Dcalue, indeed.

1583
01:06:32,040 --> 01:06:35,080
Speaker 7: Football like he was bitter. He was upset. I'm like, man,

1584
01:06:35,120 --> 01:06:37,360
Speaker 7: you went to three Pro Bowls, you played ten years, Like,

1585
01:06:37,840 --> 01:06:39,520
Speaker 7: what do you mean you're bitter? But it's just tough,

1586
01:06:40,800 --> 01:06:42,720
Speaker 7: like even for me. You know, you and I both

1587
01:06:42,760 --> 01:06:45,120
Speaker 7: in real estate, and I thought I had everything set up,

1588
01:06:45,480 --> 01:06:47,600
Speaker 7: and you know, sometimes I was kind of cocky. I

1589
01:06:47,680 --> 01:06:49,480
Speaker 7: was like, you know what, I'm doing things the right way.

1590
01:06:49,800 --> 01:06:51,560
Speaker 7: When I'm done, I'm just gonna roll right into it.

1591
01:06:51,800 --> 01:06:53,600
Speaker 7: But when I was done, I was like, hold on, wait,

1592
01:06:54,000 --> 01:06:57,000
Speaker 7: where's my schedule for the day, Like where's the coach

1593
01:06:57,040 --> 01:06:59,280
Speaker 7: telling me where I need to be? And and just

1594
01:06:59,640 --> 01:07:01,640
Speaker 7: not even and that what was tough the locker room,

1595
01:07:01,720 --> 01:07:03,480
Speaker 7: Like you spent eight years. I don't care if it's

1596
01:07:04,200 --> 01:07:06,280
Speaker 7: you know, whether you're on the bubble or not. Just

1597
01:07:06,360 --> 01:07:08,960
Speaker 7: something about being in that locker room, being in the system,

1598
01:07:09,160 --> 01:07:12,680
Speaker 7: working out like it was just hard to quote unquote

1599
01:07:12,680 --> 01:07:13,600
Speaker 7: live that regular life.

1600
01:07:13,720 --> 01:07:13,919
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1601
01:07:14,000 --> 01:07:16,640
Speaker 13: Absolutely, And when you're a player, you're part of something,

1602
01:07:16,760 --> 01:07:19,920
Speaker 13: right that's bigger than yourself, and you know you're all

1603
01:07:20,880 --> 01:07:24,600
Speaker 13: working together towards the same goal and part of that organization.

1604
01:07:24,760 --> 01:07:28,120
Speaker 13: And obviously the NFL is a premier sports league in

1605
01:07:28,160 --> 01:07:30,720
Speaker 13: the in the world, and to be a part of that,

1606
01:07:31,200 --> 01:07:35,240
Speaker 13: it's pretty cool. So when that's not in your life anymore. Yeah,

1607
01:07:35,320 --> 01:07:38,160
Speaker 13: it's it's kind of a rude awakening.

1608
01:07:38,360 --> 01:07:39,600
Speaker 8: And yeah, it took me.

1609
01:07:39,680 --> 01:07:42,160
Speaker 13: It took me a few years to kind of, okay,

1610
01:07:42,360 --> 01:07:46,280
Speaker 13: settle into not being a you know, professional athlete any longer.

1611
01:07:46,640 --> 01:07:49,360
Speaker 7: Now you're so good with the training. Did you ever

1612
01:07:49,440 --> 01:07:53,080
Speaker 7: think about coaching? Did you give it a shot? You know,

1613
01:07:53,200 --> 01:07:55,720
Speaker 7: did you think about climbing the ranks to be a

1614
01:07:56,360 --> 01:07:59,040
Speaker 7: you know, a coach in the NFL or college.

1615
01:07:59,360 --> 01:08:01,320
Speaker 13: I did, but I didn't think about it too long

1616
01:08:01,440 --> 01:08:04,040
Speaker 13: because I knew the career that I had as a player,

1617
01:08:04,680 --> 01:08:07,280
Speaker 13: bouncing around from team to team over those eight years.

1618
01:08:08,080 --> 01:08:09,560
Speaker 13: I knew that I didn't want to go through that

1619
01:08:09,680 --> 01:08:13,240
Speaker 13: as a coach. And I can remember sitting in actually

1620
01:08:13,320 --> 01:08:17,559
Speaker 13: the team meeting room here with the Texans and looking

1621
01:08:17,960 --> 01:08:20,679
Speaker 13: at the program one day, just randomly in between meetings,

1622
01:08:20,720 --> 01:08:24,320
Speaker 13: and I was looking at our coaches resumes, and I

1623
01:08:24,479 --> 01:08:26,840
Speaker 13: was looking at just how they were moving around every

1624
01:08:27,080 --> 01:08:27,960
Speaker 13: you know, one.

1625
01:08:27,960 --> 01:08:29,639
Speaker 8: Or two years, all these different places.

1626
01:08:29,720 --> 01:08:32,240
Speaker 13: A guy that had been coaching for fifteen years, he'd

1627
01:08:32,240 --> 01:08:34,240
Speaker 13: been at you know, twelve different places.

1628
01:08:34,320 --> 01:08:37,200
Speaker 8: And I'm like, man, that's tough. You know, it's tough

1629
01:08:37,280 --> 01:08:38,920
Speaker 8: if you know, if you want to raise a family

1630
01:08:39,240 --> 01:08:40,360
Speaker 8: and do those kind of things.

1631
01:08:40,439 --> 01:08:43,800
Speaker 13: It's tough to go through that. So I remember thinking, Okay,

1632
01:08:44,080 --> 01:08:45,880
Speaker 13: I'm not going to be, you know, a coach in

1633
01:08:45,960 --> 01:08:47,280
Speaker 13: the in college or NFL.

1634
01:08:48,520 --> 01:08:51,960
Speaker 8: So I knew that I wanted to be involved with

1635
01:08:52,000 --> 01:08:52,719
Speaker 8: football still.

1636
01:08:53,160 --> 01:08:56,519
Speaker 13: So that's when I you know, realized, hey, I can

1637
01:08:56,600 --> 01:08:59,040
Speaker 13: do something outside of that and still not have to move,

1638
01:08:59,240 --> 01:09:01,639
Speaker 13: you know, I can still you know, be involved with football.

1639
01:09:01,720 --> 01:09:04,439
Speaker 8: So I started a quarterback academy that I still have

1640
01:09:04,560 --> 01:09:05,080
Speaker 8: to this day.

1641
01:09:06,160 --> 01:09:08,679
Speaker 13: And then I also coach at my son's high school,

1642
01:09:08,840 --> 01:09:10,920
Speaker 13: uh on my part time coach on the on the

1643
01:09:11,000 --> 01:09:11,599
Speaker 13: varsity team.

1644
01:09:11,800 --> 01:09:14,200
Speaker 2: Man, it was fun stuff with Mike Quinn and Andy

1645
01:09:14,560 --> 01:09:17,679

01:11:23,640 --> 01:11:24,759
Speaker 1: Hopefully get a lot of candy.

1692
01:11:25,400 --> 01:11:25,639
Speaker 8: Yeah.

1693
01:11:26,040 --> 01:11:29,880
Speaker 3: So, like we mentioned earlier, we're gonna do Whitey, which

1694
01:11:30,000 --> 01:11:33,400
Speaker 3: is what if I told you. Then we're gonna have

1695
01:11:33,439 --> 01:11:37,400
Speaker 3: a texting to watch against the Buccaneers, and then after

1696
01:11:37,520 --> 01:11:40,280
Speaker 3: that we're gonna talk with Henry to Oto. But we're

1697
01:11:40,320 --> 01:11:42,760
Speaker 3: talking about stuff off the field. You've already had a

1698
01:11:42,800 --> 01:11:45,760
Speaker 3: sneak peak of this, you heard or sneak listen you

1699
01:11:45,880 --> 01:11:49,400
Speaker 3: heard that interview. And he's one of eight children. Yeah,

1700
01:11:49,880 --> 01:11:52,880
Speaker 3: he's got some interesting facts. He's a he's a cool story,

1701
01:11:53,000 --> 01:11:55,160
Speaker 3: really cool story. So we're gonna have some fun things

1702
01:11:55,200 --> 01:11:57,640
Speaker 3: with him. But John, dang it, I didn't get to

1703
01:11:57,640 --> 01:11:59,880
Speaker 3: go to Charlotte. I was. Uh, I was here, deep was,

1704
01:12:00,800 --> 01:12:03,000
Speaker 3: and I saw the game from my home. I was

1705
01:12:03,080 --> 01:12:06,479
Speaker 3: furiously typing. There was smoke coming off my fingertips and

1706
01:12:06,640 --> 01:12:12,680
Speaker 3: my computer keyboard. But uh, Texans fall fifteen thirteen. What

1707
01:12:12,800 --> 01:12:14,880
Speaker 3: if I told you John before the game?

1708
01:12:15,240 --> 01:12:15,360
Speaker 1: Right?

1709
01:12:15,800 --> 01:12:19,640
Speaker 3: Hey, John, my friend, let's talk football. The Texans this

1710
01:12:19,760 --> 01:12:25,000
Speaker 3: weekend are gonna allow forty four rushing yards. They're gonna

1711
01:12:25,000 --> 01:12:29,000
Speaker 3: have a goal line stand on defense and come away successfully.

1712
01:12:29,040 --> 01:12:31,800
Speaker 3: They're not gonna let let the guys get into the

1713
01:12:31,880 --> 01:12:34,880
Speaker 3: end zone. They're gonna sack Bryce Young six times. They're

1714
01:12:34,880 --> 01:12:37,920
Speaker 3: gonna hit him ten times total, and on those sacks,

1715
01:12:38,360 --> 01:12:42,040
Speaker 3: they're gonna get fifty five yards worth of field position.

1716
01:12:42,720 --> 01:12:45,160
Speaker 3: Oh and then it's not defense. But let me just

1717
01:12:45,240 --> 01:12:47,920
Speaker 3: add in Cam Johnston. He's gonna punt six times. Four

1718
01:12:47,960 --> 01:12:49,840
Speaker 3: of them are Gore, gonna be down inside the twenty,

1719
01:12:49,880 --> 01:12:52,679
Speaker 3: and one of those that's down inside the twenty Camp

1720
01:12:52,760 --> 01:12:55,559
Speaker 3: punted from his own end zone. And it's the longest

1721
01:12:55,680 --> 01:12:58,880
Speaker 3: punt in Texans history. Now, normally, when you delve into

1722
01:12:58,960 --> 01:13:01,720
Speaker 3: punting stats, not gonna be good. But what if I

1723
01:13:01,840 --> 01:13:05,439
Speaker 3: told you all those things before the game?

1724
01:13:05,880 --> 01:13:09,400
Speaker 1: Shut out, shut out, it's not even close.

1725
01:13:09,680 --> 01:13:12,840
Speaker 2: Forty four rushing yards come on, and you get a

1726
01:13:12,880 --> 01:13:16,760
Speaker 2: goal line stop for those punts are inside the twenty

1727
01:13:16,840 --> 01:13:20,840
Speaker 2: yard line of the sixth that Cam had. Yeah, it's

1728
01:13:21,040 --> 01:13:24,479
Speaker 2: not it's not a close game if it is, Okay,

1729
01:13:24,840 --> 01:13:28,760
Speaker 2: did the Texans turn the ball over significant amounts of time?

1730
01:13:28,960 --> 01:13:29,320
Speaker 3: Just once?

1731
01:13:30,120 --> 01:13:34,720
Speaker 1: Just once? You didn't get any Okay, it's a it's

1732
01:13:34,760 --> 01:13:36,439
Speaker 1: a win. It's gotta be.

1733
01:13:36,800 --> 01:13:37,240
Speaker 7: How could it?

1734
01:13:37,280 --> 01:13:41,080
Speaker 1: How could it not be? Well, here's how it could

1735
01:13:41,200 --> 01:13:45,920
Speaker 1: not be. Play game on third and five, face mask

1736
01:13:46,600 --> 01:13:48,719
Speaker 1: on a sack, which that's hard to fault John Grenard

1737
01:13:48,760 --> 01:13:49,200
Speaker 1: for that one.

1738
01:13:49,400 --> 01:13:51,960
Speaker 2: But here, I mean he was just flying high and

1739
01:13:52,040 --> 01:13:55,720
Speaker 2: just happened to get it. Defensive holding that kept the

1740
01:13:55,800 --> 01:13:58,200
Speaker 2: drive alive on third down. And that's a tougher one

1741
01:13:58,280 --> 01:14:01,040
Speaker 2: because you gotta know it's third and nine nineteen. I mean,

1742
01:14:01,120 --> 01:14:06,000
Speaker 2: you got to you gotta trust yourself like you've never

1743
01:14:06,080 --> 01:14:08,600
Speaker 2: trusted yourself. Like, Okay, I go, it's third nineteen. I

1744
01:14:08,640 --> 01:14:10,840
Speaker 2: cannot get called for the contact. I cannot get called

1745
01:14:10,880 --> 01:14:13,680
Speaker 2: for holding. I can't give a five yard penalty and

1746
01:14:13,760 --> 01:14:15,559
Speaker 2: give them, or even a ten yard penalty and give them,

1747
01:14:15,840 --> 01:14:16,599
Speaker 2: you know, a first down.

1748
01:14:16,680 --> 01:14:18,280
Speaker 1: I can't can't do it that that happened.

1749
01:14:18,320 --> 01:14:22,240
Speaker 2: So break you had you had four passes batted down,

1750
01:14:23,080 --> 01:14:24,760
Speaker 2: and I think it was four, might have been five,

1751
01:14:24,920 --> 01:14:27,439
Speaker 2: but you had four batted down, and I'm convinced that

1752
01:14:27,600 --> 01:14:30,599
Speaker 2: at least one of them is going to a wide

1753
01:14:30,640 --> 01:14:33,000
Speaker 2: open wide receiver. Now, flip side of that is the

1754
01:14:33,080 --> 01:14:34,720
Speaker 2: first one that was batted down was gonna be a

1755
01:14:34,760 --> 01:14:36,479
Speaker 2: pick six by Brian Burns if he caught the ball.

1756
01:14:37,000 --> 01:14:38,000
Speaker 1: It was a throw that CJ.

1757
01:14:37,920 --> 01:14:40,400
Speaker 3: Would have wanted it time out, time out, time out.

1758
01:14:40,439 --> 01:14:42,760
Speaker 3: We knew this going in, but it was just reinforced.

1759
01:14:43,120 --> 01:14:45,439
Speaker 3: Brian Burns is a pain in the ass. That guy

1760
01:14:45,560 --> 01:14:48,200
Speaker 3: is really really good. Yeah, he wouldn't mind him on

1761
01:14:48,280 --> 01:14:50,960
Speaker 3: my team. I think all other thirty one NFL teams

1762
01:14:51,000 --> 01:14:52,280
Speaker 3: wouldn't mind him on theirs as well.

1763
01:14:52,400 --> 01:14:57,880
Speaker 2: You know what was interesting was the fact that Burns

1764
01:14:57,960 --> 01:14:59,960
Speaker 2: before the game, I saw him. I walked kind of

1765
01:15:00,120 --> 01:15:03,200
Speaker 2: down the sidelines. I saw him and he was not

1766
01:15:03,400 --> 01:15:05,000
Speaker 2: really kind of lined up with everybody because he was

1767
01:15:05,040 --> 01:15:07,240
Speaker 2: kind of playing with his elbow brace. And when you're

1768
01:15:07,240 --> 01:15:10,360
Speaker 2: doing something that you're not used to and playing with

1769
01:15:10,360 --> 01:15:12,920
Speaker 2: the elbow brace is something that for past rushers, I mean,

1770
01:15:12,960 --> 01:15:14,439
Speaker 2: they like their hands to be free and they like to,

1771
01:15:14,840 --> 01:15:17,000
Speaker 2: you know, be able to kind of work their level

1772
01:15:17,280 --> 01:15:19,040
Speaker 2: levers the way they want to. When you see a

1773
01:15:19,080 --> 01:15:21,200
Speaker 2: guy like that kind of messing with a brace like that,

1774
01:15:21,280 --> 01:15:22,559
Speaker 2: I thought, Okay, that's gonna be in his head.

1775
01:15:22,640 --> 01:15:23,000
Speaker 9: That's good.

1776
01:15:23,400 --> 01:15:23,840
Speaker 1: That's good.

1777
01:15:24,760 --> 01:15:25,400
Speaker 7: It wasn't good.

1778
01:15:25,640 --> 01:15:28,519
Speaker 2: He slipped blocks, He was around the ball the entire

1779
01:15:28,880 --> 01:15:34,439
Speaker 2: entire day. There was one play where somehow we slid

1780
01:15:34,520 --> 01:15:40,200
Speaker 2: protection away from him and had Devin Singletary one on one. Now,

1781
01:15:40,720 --> 01:15:42,320
Speaker 2: going back and watch the play, I do think there

1782
01:15:42,400 --> 01:15:45,080
Speaker 2: was supposed to be some help, maybe from a tight end,

1783
01:15:45,479 --> 01:15:48,840
Speaker 2: but I'm not totally sure about that. If it was,

1784
01:15:49,080 --> 01:15:51,920
Speaker 2: it was not great help. But I just remember what

1785
01:15:52,040 --> 01:15:54,519
Speaker 2: I was able to see was I was standing right

1786
01:15:54,560 --> 01:15:57,479
Speaker 2: there and I see Singletary one on one with Brian Burns.

1787
01:15:57,560 --> 01:16:00,360
Speaker 2: I thought, that can't be in the game plan. That

1788
01:16:00,640 --> 01:16:03,880
Speaker 2: can't be in the game plan. Like that cannot be

1789
01:16:05,040 --> 01:16:08,599
Speaker 2: the game plan, not at all. There's some frustrating aspects

1790
01:16:08,640 --> 01:16:10,280
Speaker 2: of what what went on. You didn't run the ball

1791
01:16:10,360 --> 01:16:15,400
Speaker 2: exceptionally well, you had some moments, but yeah, it's it's tough, tough.

1792
01:16:15,479 --> 01:16:19,800
Speaker 3: Indeed, let's wipe it clean from the memory banks. Let's

1793
01:16:19,840 --> 01:16:21,880
Speaker 3: look forward and with the help of Randy the Macho

1794
01:16:21,960 --> 01:16:27,240
Speaker 3: Man Savage Crop, let's predict next week if we were

1795
01:16:27,320 --> 01:16:29,040
Speaker 3: to do a Cream of the Crop award, who's your

1796
01:16:29,120 --> 01:16:31,519
Speaker 3: cream of the cropper going to be for the Houston

1797
01:16:31,600 --> 01:16:33,840
Speaker 3: Texans when they take on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. And

1798
01:16:33,880 --> 01:16:36,080
Speaker 3: before we get into that, I just want to say,

1799
01:16:36,080 --> 01:16:39,360
Speaker 3: it's almost in some ways, it's like these teams are

1800
01:16:39,520 --> 01:16:42,320
Speaker 3: mirror images of each other. Really good defense as far

1801
01:16:42,360 --> 01:16:44,479
Speaker 3: as not giving up too many points so far this season.

1802
01:16:44,880 --> 01:16:48,920
Speaker 3: Really solid quarterback play. Now one's a rookie, ones not.

1803
01:16:49,680 --> 01:16:52,720
Speaker 3: But there's lots of little similarities here. When you look

1804
01:16:52,760 --> 01:16:55,840
Speaker 3: at this team. You're good in turnover differential. This is

1805
01:16:55,880 --> 01:16:58,240
Speaker 3: the best team in the NFL coming into this game. Yeah,

1806
01:16:58,600 --> 01:17:01,320
Speaker 3: at plus eight the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Now Texans are

1807
01:17:01,360 --> 01:17:03,639
Speaker 3: just a few behind him at plus five they're top

1808
01:17:03,720 --> 01:17:06,200
Speaker 3: ten as well. But it seems like there's a lot

1809
01:17:06,200 --> 01:17:08,519
Speaker 3: of similarities here. So with all that in mind, who's

1810
01:17:08,520 --> 01:17:10,640
Speaker 3: a cream of the cropper? When we're uh, we're all

1811
01:17:10,680 --> 01:17:13,479
Speaker 3: said and done. Sunday afternoon around three three fifteen.

1812
01:17:15,120 --> 01:17:17,120
Speaker 2: Well, if the Texas want to leave that building with

1813
01:17:17,240 --> 01:17:20,519
Speaker 2: a win, I'm maybe gonna say the most obvious player

1814
01:17:20,520 --> 01:17:22,920
Speaker 2: I could possibly say, and that's CJ.

1815
01:17:23,080 --> 01:17:26,920
Speaker 1: Stroud. Yeah, we need for CJ to be that guy.

1816
01:17:27,040 --> 01:17:30,559
Speaker 2: Now, let me be very clear about this. I don't

1817
01:17:30,600 --> 01:17:34,160
Speaker 2: think CJ hasn't been that guy. I think CJ has

1818
01:17:34,240 --> 01:17:38,960
Speaker 2: been fabulous this year. But we can't leave that stadium

1819
01:17:39,360 --> 01:17:44,640
Speaker 2: with CJ having thrown less and throw fewer times than

1820
01:17:44,760 --> 01:17:48,080
Speaker 2: we ran the ball right, And that was the case

1821
01:17:48,160 --> 01:17:52,320
Speaker 2: last week. Now he had four I think four passes

1822
01:17:52,400 --> 01:17:55,439
Speaker 2: that were batted down. But you know what, we were

1823
01:17:55,600 --> 01:17:58,599
Speaker 2: seven games into this thing, and I trust CJ. Stroud

1824
01:18:00,479 --> 01:18:03,120
Speaker 2: probably about as much as I trust any other player

1825
01:18:03,200 --> 01:18:05,439
Speaker 2: on this team. Guys have been around for fifteen years

1826
01:18:05,479 --> 01:18:07,599
Speaker 2: in this league. Guys have been around for fifteen minutes.

1827
01:18:08,200 --> 01:18:11,000
Speaker 2: I trust CJ. Stroud with the ball in his hands

1828
01:18:11,320 --> 01:18:15,480
Speaker 2: more than I trust anything else in this in this organization.

1829
01:18:15,880 --> 01:18:19,880
Speaker 2: On his team whatever, CJ. Stroud I think has got

1830
01:18:19,960 --> 01:18:21,280
Speaker 2: to be that cream of the crop player.

1831
01:18:21,400 --> 01:18:23,120
Speaker 3: And look, can you say, hey, you just brought up

1832
01:18:23,160 --> 01:18:26,519
Speaker 3: batted passes. Okay, let's take those four out of the equation. Yeah,

1833
01:18:26,840 --> 01:18:29,160
Speaker 3: that means he's only thrown twenty passes in that game.

1834
01:18:29,240 --> 01:18:32,160
Speaker 3: You ran the ball thirty times, right, So it's a

1835
01:18:32,240 --> 01:18:35,080
Speaker 3: three to two ratio by my stupid math. Yeah, yeah,

1836
01:18:35,200 --> 01:18:36,439
Speaker 3: sold twenty four overall.

1837
01:18:36,720 --> 01:18:37,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, And.

1838
01:18:38,840 --> 01:18:41,600
Speaker 2: I mean I remember Bill Brien used to say this,

1839
01:18:41,800 --> 01:18:43,080
Speaker 2: you know, you don't really know what kind of team

1840
01:18:43,120 --> 01:18:45,040
Speaker 2: you have till you get around Thanksgiving. I didn't really

1841
01:18:45,120 --> 01:18:46,720
Speaker 2: agree with that. I felt like you kind of knew

1842
01:18:46,720 --> 01:18:49,599
Speaker 2: what your team was by the time you got to November. Well,

1843
01:18:49,640 --> 01:18:54,160
Speaker 2: we're to November. And I think defensively, there's an identity there.

1844
01:18:54,760 --> 01:19:00,400
Speaker 2: There's aggression, there is physicality, there is you know, pretty

1845
01:19:00,439 --> 01:19:01,800
Speaker 2: good coverage in the back end. I mean, I think

1846
01:19:01,840 --> 01:19:03,840
Speaker 2: the defense has really found kind of its identity and

1847
01:19:03,920 --> 01:19:06,519
Speaker 2: what it's gonna be. You know, bend a little like

1848
01:19:06,640 --> 01:19:08,400
Speaker 2: we used to have defenses that bent a lot and

1849
01:19:08,479 --> 01:19:10,320
Speaker 2: then held up in the red zone even good years.

1850
01:19:10,920 --> 01:19:13,559
Speaker 2: This team does not bend much at all. But they

1851
01:19:13,600 --> 01:19:15,640
Speaker 2: need some help in the fourth quarter. It can't be

1852
01:19:15,720 --> 01:19:17,560
Speaker 2: a situation where it's a one point game or a

1853
01:19:17,560 --> 01:19:19,559
Speaker 2: two point game in the fourth quarter, like, it's got

1854
01:19:19,680 --> 01:19:22,920
Speaker 2: to be a game in which they're up ten and

1855
01:19:23,040 --> 01:19:25,160
Speaker 2: now Bryce Young's trying to throw it because if the

1856
01:19:25,320 --> 01:19:27,160
Speaker 2: Texas have been up ten, have they taken care of

1857
01:19:27,200 --> 01:19:30,840
Speaker 2: their business and got a third touchdown like they should have,

1858
01:19:31,560 --> 01:19:32,839
Speaker 2: then the pass rush.

1859
01:19:32,640 --> 01:19:34,439
Speaker 1: Can eat the pass rushers eating all day.

1860
01:19:34,479 --> 01:19:37,519
Speaker 2: You what were the numbers, six, nine and ten, six acts,

1861
01:19:37,840 --> 01:19:41,880
Speaker 2: nine quarterback hits, nine TFLs, ten quarterback hits. If those

1862
01:19:41,960 --> 01:19:45,640
Speaker 2: numbers sound familiar, that's what CJ suffered in Week two

1863
01:19:45,680 --> 01:19:46,320
Speaker 2: against the Colts.

1864
01:19:46,439 --> 01:19:49,000
Speaker 1: Exact numbers six, nine and ten, six nine and ten.

1865
01:19:50,080 --> 01:19:52,040
Speaker 3: Each of those numbers. If you've got that double digit lead,

1866
01:19:52,080 --> 01:19:53,559
Speaker 3: your top thing go, yeah, you know.

1867
01:19:53,800 --> 01:20:00,559
Speaker 1: But at some point you gotta realize that's the guy.

1868
01:20:01,439 --> 01:20:02,800
Speaker 2: And I know it's a lot for a rookie to

1869
01:20:02,840 --> 01:20:05,560
Speaker 2: have to handle, but if there's anybody that's shown that

1870
01:20:05,600 --> 01:20:09,720
Speaker 2: he can handle it, it's him. C J. Stroud needs

1871
01:20:09,760 --> 01:20:11,360
Speaker 2: to be the cream of the crop player against the

1872
01:20:11,360 --> 01:20:12,440
Speaker 2: Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

1873
01:20:12,479 --> 01:20:15,080
Speaker 1: And you know what, I think CJ.

1874
01:20:15,160 --> 01:20:16,759
Speaker 2: Stroud needs to be the cream of the crop player

1875
01:20:17,040 --> 01:20:19,360
Speaker 2: every game for the rest of the season. You know,

1876
01:20:19,680 --> 01:20:23,880
Speaker 2: I understand that. You know what, like for Christmas back

1877
01:20:23,920 --> 01:20:26,400
Speaker 2: in the day, you got a brand new Sega Genesis.

1878
01:20:26,840 --> 01:20:28,400
Speaker 2: You wanted to play that thing all day and your

1879
01:20:28,439 --> 01:20:30,360
Speaker 2: parents are like, no, You're gonna you're gonna burn that

1880
01:20:30,439 --> 01:20:32,280
Speaker 2: thing out. You know you're gonna you're gonna break it

1881
01:20:32,320 --> 01:20:33,280
Speaker 2: if you play it so much.

1882
01:20:33,560 --> 01:20:37,519
Speaker 1: No, mom, the Sega Genesis ain't gonna break. It's fine.

1883
01:20:37,840 --> 01:20:40,400
Speaker 2: Let me play NHL ninety three. Yeah, that's how long

1884
01:20:40,439 --> 01:20:42,840
Speaker 2: ago I had the Sega Genesis. You're gonna play it.

1885
01:20:43,120 --> 01:20:45,080
Speaker 3: You were in college, man, I know. I was in college,

1886
01:20:45,280 --> 01:20:47,000
Speaker 3: and I loved it. We used to play all the time.

1887
01:20:47,400 --> 01:20:50,360
Speaker 2: Point being, it's not gonna break if you keep protecting him,

1888
01:20:51,160 --> 01:20:52,479
Speaker 2: He's not gonna break, you know.

1889
01:20:52,600 --> 01:20:55,760
Speaker 1: Will he throw a pick here there? Yeah, it's gonna happen.

1890
01:20:56,000 --> 01:20:57,040
Speaker 1: He's already. He threw one.

1891
01:20:57,120 --> 01:20:58,519
Speaker 2: We got it back. He threw it for a first down,

1892
01:20:58,560 --> 01:21:00,240
Speaker 2: which is kind of crazy to think about. But I

1893
01:21:00,280 --> 01:21:03,680
Speaker 2: think for our cream of the cropper going forward, I'm

1894
01:21:03,680 --> 01:21:05,640
Speaker 2: gonna say, CJ. Strott, what do you say, drew that

1895
01:21:05,720 --> 01:21:06,320
Speaker 2: stel yours?

1896
01:21:06,520 --> 01:21:07,000
Speaker 1: No, you did not.

1897
01:21:07,640 --> 01:21:09,400
Speaker 3: That was a good cream of the crop. The cream

1898
01:21:09,479 --> 01:21:12,960
Speaker 3: of the crop corollary to your genesis story. In nineteen

1899
01:21:13,000 --> 01:21:19,759
Speaker 3: eighty nine, that Christmas, I got Techmobil the video game. Yeah, yeah, Christmas.

1900
01:21:20,120 --> 01:21:23,840
Speaker 3: The next day I had to leave for boy Scout camp.

1901
01:21:23,920 --> 01:21:27,920
Speaker 3: It was winter camp. It was almost like punishment. It wasn't,

1902
01:21:27,960 --> 01:21:30,280
Speaker 3: but it was. You know, you go for a week

1903
01:21:30,960 --> 01:21:32,840
Speaker 3: and you get like four or five merit badges and

1904
01:21:33,000 --> 01:21:36,840
Speaker 3: sort of speeds things up. But I got Techmobile, and

1905
01:21:37,600 --> 01:21:40,880
Speaker 3: I think I played that thing the whole because somebody

1906
01:21:41,000 --> 01:21:43,160
Speaker 3: was sick in our family or where we were supposed

1907
01:21:43,200 --> 01:21:44,680
Speaker 3: to go, so we didn't. We were at home like

1908
01:21:44,800 --> 01:21:46,120
Speaker 3: we didn't go anywhere. It was kind of like a

1909
01:21:46,720 --> 01:21:49,160
Speaker 3: we got a screwball thrown our way. So I wore

1910
01:21:49,240 --> 01:21:51,720
Speaker 3: that thing out. And then I remember, I think the

1911
01:21:51,840 --> 01:21:55,320
Speaker 3: next morning before I left for camp, and the Nintendo

1912
01:21:55,400 --> 01:21:57,719
Speaker 3: was hooked up to my parents' television in their room,

1913
01:21:58,280 --> 01:22:00,599
Speaker 3: not up to the main television out in the family room.

1914
01:22:00,960 --> 01:22:03,720
Speaker 3: So I think they're still sleep and I go in.

1915
01:22:03,840 --> 01:22:05,519
Speaker 3: I'm like, well, i'll be real considerate. I'll just turn

1916
01:22:05,560 --> 01:22:07,680
Speaker 3: the volume off and said I'm like click clicking on

1917
01:22:07,760 --> 01:22:10,320
Speaker 3: these these buttons. And I hear my dad sleepily say

1918
01:22:10,680 --> 01:22:14,920
Speaker 3: can you please go do that somewhere else? And I

1919
01:22:14,960 --> 01:22:17,479
Speaker 3: think I did a few more times. Yeah, the considerate son,

1920
01:22:17,800 --> 01:22:18,479
Speaker 3: I could just hear.

1921
01:22:20,280 --> 01:22:22,000
Speaker 1: And how that would irritate parents like.

1922
01:22:22,600 --> 01:22:23,559
Speaker 3: Hot pot pot pott.

1923
01:22:23,600 --> 01:22:24,120
Speaker 1: But that was on.

1924
01:22:24,240 --> 01:22:26,519
Speaker 3: I had the the volume off, right, I love tech

1925
01:22:26,600 --> 01:22:29,120
Speaker 3: bobil Yeah, but still the clicking of the buttons, that's good.

1926
01:22:29,280 --> 01:22:32,000
Speaker 3: Bo Jackson is, you know, greatest Technobowl player ever. Best team,

1927
01:22:32,040 --> 01:22:34,479
Speaker 3: though is not with Bo Jackson, was the Chicago Bears.

1928
01:22:34,520 --> 01:22:36,799
Speaker 3: They had three fast defenders as well as Walter Payton.

1929
01:22:37,160 --> 01:22:40,120
Speaker 3: And then best special teams was New York Giants on

1930
01:22:40,160 --> 01:22:42,080
Speaker 3: that with Lawrence Taylor coming off the edge of Dicks.

1931
01:22:42,120 --> 01:22:45,160
Speaker 3: But anyways, my cream of the crop guys, since you

1932
01:22:45,240 --> 01:22:48,240
Speaker 3: took Stroud, I want to beat these guys at their

1933
01:22:48,280 --> 01:22:52,880
Speaker 3: own game. Baker Mayfield has been excellent this year as

1934
01:22:52,960 --> 01:22:56,800
Speaker 3: far as ten touchdowns, four picks. You need to pick

1935
01:22:56,880 --> 01:22:59,120
Speaker 3: them off. You're not gonna get him three times like

1936
01:22:59,200 --> 01:23:02,920
Speaker 3: you did hisie season here, but let's get him once.

1937
01:23:03,360 --> 01:23:08,320
Speaker 3: Let's get a fumble. So for that Jalen Petrie Petrie

1938
01:23:08,720 --> 01:23:14,000
Speaker 3: play the other day where he wrecked and I mean

1939
01:23:14,760 --> 01:23:17,160
Speaker 3: wrecked the running back who's trying to block him. I

1940
01:23:17,200 --> 01:23:18,400
Speaker 3: mean just steam rolled him.

1941
01:23:18,479 --> 01:23:18,679
Speaker 9: Yep.

1942
01:23:18,840 --> 01:23:20,800
Speaker 3: And as he's going down, you know, the running backs

1943
01:23:20,880 --> 01:23:22,960
Speaker 3: kind of bringing him down with him. Jalen gets his

1944
01:23:23,120 --> 01:23:26,040
Speaker 3: hand on the quarterback, hits his hand on Bryce Young,

1945
01:23:26,479 --> 01:23:29,719
Speaker 3: and Young gets this deep completion up the left sideline,

1946
01:23:29,800 --> 01:23:32,080
Speaker 3: but it was a hair by like just by the

1947
01:23:32,120 --> 01:23:34,439
Speaker 3: hair of his chinny chin chin type of completion. So

1948
01:23:35,240 --> 01:23:37,920
Speaker 3: get there a tick earlier. That's a sack. That's a

1949
01:23:38,439 --> 01:23:42,439
Speaker 3: batted pass. That's an incompletion. It's basically a nullified play. Yep,

1950
01:23:42,920 --> 01:23:44,519
Speaker 3: let's come up with a turnover. Let's come up with

1951
01:23:44,560 --> 01:23:48,040
Speaker 3: a takeaway. Jalen Petrie. I think it's it's possible. I'd

1952
01:23:48,160 --> 01:23:51,360
Speaker 3: like it early. So you get up on these guys

1953
01:23:51,439 --> 01:23:54,040
Speaker 3: and you let the pass rush tee off. Let's do

1954
01:23:54,200 --> 01:23:58,559
Speaker 3: one of those fun kind of wire to wire wins

1955
01:23:58,600 --> 01:24:00,320
Speaker 3: like you had against the Steelers, like it felt like

1956
01:24:00,400 --> 01:24:05,160
Speaker 3: you had against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Let's get going, Jalen Petrie,

1957
01:24:05,360 --> 01:24:07,800
Speaker 3: I am choosing you as my cream of the crop player.

1958
01:24:08,040 --> 01:24:10,880
Speaker 2: That is a that's a great one. That play I

1959
01:24:10,960 --> 01:24:14,000
Speaker 2: could see Jalen was awesome. I could see Jalen coming.

1960
01:24:14,080 --> 01:24:16,439
Speaker 2: I'm like, oh man, and I see him blast him.

1961
01:24:16,439 --> 01:24:19,000
Speaker 2: And then I see Bryce Young break out of there.

1962
01:24:19,000 --> 01:24:21,479
Speaker 2: I'm like, dag coming. It's the one thing you couldn't

1963
01:24:21,520 --> 01:24:21,960
Speaker 2: let him do.

1964
01:24:22,200 --> 01:24:23,800
Speaker 3: He still got his hand on Bryce show he.

1965
01:24:23,840 --> 01:24:26,800
Speaker 2: Did, and then then Bryce ended up dropping a dime

1966
01:24:26,960 --> 01:24:31,800
Speaker 2: to a very very well covered Adam Thiele and who

1967
01:24:31,840 --> 01:24:33,600
Speaker 2: ended up making that catch. Now the text ended up

1968
01:24:33,600 --> 01:24:36,720
Speaker 2: getting a stop, I think on that drive at the

1969
01:24:36,760 --> 01:24:39,840
Speaker 2: goal line. But you're right, and I think what it?

1970
01:24:40,200 --> 01:24:45,479
Speaker 2: What your your decision for creamy the crop, my decision

1971
01:24:45,520 --> 01:24:46,240
Speaker 2: for creamy crop.

1972
01:24:46,680 --> 01:24:50,759
Speaker 1: Are saying one thing, and that is, and we haven't

1973
01:24:50,880 --> 01:24:53,000
Speaker 1: had this for the last few years. I guess.

1974
01:24:54,280 --> 01:24:57,800
Speaker 2: The biggest stars must shine bright. And I know that's

1975
01:24:57,840 --> 01:25:01,479
Speaker 2: a big and bright down in the heart. And like

1976
01:25:01,600 --> 01:25:05,599
Speaker 2: I'm not saying that, I'm saying that your best players

1977
01:25:06,520 --> 01:25:09,160
Speaker 2: have got to rise up when things are not great,

1978
01:25:10,640 --> 01:25:14,679
Speaker 2: and those players have got to bring everything they've got

1979
01:25:15,880 --> 01:25:18,920
Speaker 2: and make everybody follow them. And when I think about

1980
01:25:18,960 --> 01:25:20,840
Speaker 2: that on both sides of the ball, I think about

1981
01:25:20,920 --> 01:25:21,599
Speaker 2: Jalen Petrie.

1982
01:25:21,640 --> 01:25:22,400
Speaker 1: I think about c J.

1983
01:25:22,560 --> 01:25:24,960
Speaker 2: Stroud and if you'd have told me to come up

1984
01:25:25,000 --> 01:25:27,160
Speaker 2: with a defensive one, I would have probably said Jalen

1985
01:25:27,200 --> 01:25:29,560
Speaker 2: Petrie as well. For that reason, I feel like this

1986
01:25:29,880 --> 01:25:34,519
Speaker 2: is a stars have got to show up game. Nico

1987
01:25:34,840 --> 01:25:41,960
Speaker 2: big huge, c J. Stroud huge, Jalen Petrie huge, Grenard

1988
01:25:42,000 --> 01:25:46,080
Speaker 2: and Will Anderson huge. These stars and what people perceive

1989
01:25:46,160 --> 01:25:48,320
Speaker 2: to be stars on this team have got to show

1990
01:25:48,400 --> 01:25:50,960
Speaker 2: up and ball out. Yes, I'd like a team victory.

1991
01:25:51,080 --> 01:25:52,720
Speaker 2: I'd like everybody to get a sack and all that.

1992
01:25:53,680 --> 01:25:55,200
Speaker 2: Two stars have got to show up and go get

1993
01:25:55,240 --> 01:25:56,680
Speaker 2: you one when you need one, and you need one.

1994
01:25:56,680 --> 01:25:58,960
Speaker 2: On Sunday before you go to Cincinnati following week.

1995
01:25:59,080 --> 01:26:02,519
Speaker 3: Before we go to the interview with Henry Toto, I

1996
01:26:02,640 --> 01:26:05,479
Speaker 3: just want to say this. I like candy corns and

1997
01:26:05,600 --> 01:26:06,879
Speaker 3: I like candy corn pumpkins.

1998
01:26:07,400 --> 01:26:09,599
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I love candy corn and I love candy corn.

1999
01:26:09,760 --> 01:26:14,840
Speaker 2: I love Have you gotten the Brox mix? There's a yes, Okay.

2000
01:26:14,880 --> 01:26:16,759
Speaker 2: I mean I probably didn't need to say anything.

2001
01:26:17,360 --> 01:26:19,000
Speaker 3: Okay. It's one of the one of the many reasons

2002
01:26:19,040 --> 01:26:20,519
Speaker 3: I love you and you're like a brother to me.

2003
01:26:21,320 --> 01:26:25,479
Speaker 3: There's just been this unfunfair crusade against this war, holy

2004
01:26:25,600 --> 01:26:29,120
Speaker 3: war nearly on candy corn over the last decade. Just

2005
01:26:29,200 --> 01:26:30,639
Speaker 3: chill out, all right. I don't like it, you don't

2006
01:26:30,680 --> 01:26:32,519
Speaker 3: like it. Nobody's forcing you to eat it. But it's

2007
01:26:32,560 --> 01:26:34,920
Speaker 3: not bad. It's good. I like candy corn.

2008
01:26:35,439 --> 01:26:37,920
Speaker 2: I love candy corn, and I love the Brox has

2009
01:26:37,920 --> 01:26:42,360
Speaker 2: got a mix that's got the regular candy corn, the yellow, orange,

2010
01:26:42,400 --> 01:26:45,880
Speaker 2: and white. Then they've got like a fall candy corn,

2011
01:26:45,960 --> 01:26:48,280
Speaker 2: which is like a red and a brown, and then

2012
01:26:48,400 --> 01:26:49,959
Speaker 2: they've got the candy corn pumpkins.

2013
01:26:50,160 --> 01:26:52,400
Speaker 3: I love them like so let me let me just

2014
01:26:52,439 --> 01:26:54,960
Speaker 3: everything you want. Let me take that candy corn mix

2015
01:26:55,120 --> 01:27:00,840
Speaker 3: and let me elevate it for you. Okay, ad peanuts

2016
01:27:01,200 --> 01:27:04,280
Speaker 3: like a bag of peanuts, had a bag of Raisins,

2017
01:27:05,520 --> 01:27:07,479
Speaker 3: had a bag of M and M's. You've got yourself

2018
01:27:07,520 --> 01:27:10,240
Speaker 3: a trail mix with candy corns in it, and if

2019
01:27:10,280 --> 01:27:13,000
Speaker 3: you want to get real freaky, added a bag of

2020
01:27:13,120 --> 01:27:16,280
Speaker 3: Reese's pieces. Damn, that's some good stuff.

2021
01:27:16,439 --> 01:27:17,559
Speaker 1: That is some good stuff. Now.

2022
01:27:18,120 --> 01:27:20,240
Speaker 2: I heard a recipe the other day, and I heard it.

2023
01:27:20,240 --> 01:27:23,599
Speaker 2: I didn't see it, but I want to make sure

2024
01:27:23,600 --> 01:27:28,439
Speaker 2: I get this right. It was candy corn bag of

2025
01:27:28,520 --> 01:27:30,839
Speaker 2: popcorn chocolate drizzle.

2026
01:27:32,000 --> 01:27:33,720
Speaker 3: I don't like my popcorn. Sweet man.

2027
01:27:34,080 --> 01:27:35,600
Speaker 2: I'm kind of with you on that. I'm kind of

2028
01:27:35,640 --> 01:27:37,960
Speaker 2: with you on that, but I'm curious. It was to

2029
01:27:38,000 --> 01:27:39,960
Speaker 2: a point where I like, I wanted to try it.

2030
01:27:40,840 --> 01:27:43,719
Speaker 2: I wanted to try it pretty good, Yeah, I wanted.

2031
01:27:43,520 --> 01:27:43,880
Speaker 9: To try it.

2032
01:27:44,120 --> 01:27:46,639
Speaker 3: When I popped my popcorn bags, I eat them one

2033
01:27:46,720 --> 01:27:47,519
Speaker 3: kernel at a time.

2034
01:27:47,960 --> 01:27:51,880
Speaker 2: I like them slightly really wow, Yeah, I gotta get

2035
01:27:51,880 --> 01:27:54,000
Speaker 2: a big handful because what ends up happening in the

2036
01:27:54,000 --> 01:27:57,280
Speaker 2: Hair's household is somebody else makes the popcorn. Now you

2037
01:27:57,360 --> 01:27:59,519
Speaker 2: guys can see I got I got pretty good hands

2038
01:27:59,520 --> 01:28:01,280
Speaker 2: if I was measure at the combine, and my hands

2039
01:28:01,320 --> 01:28:04,439
Speaker 2: are like ten in a quarterball bakets. So I always

2040
01:28:04,479 --> 01:28:06,960
Speaker 2: make people mad in my family because they get the popcorn.

2041
01:28:07,000 --> 01:28:08,439
Speaker 2: I'm like, hey, I get a handful, and they're like no,

2042
01:28:08,640 --> 01:28:11,760
Speaker 2: because I just reach into like half the bag.

2043
01:28:11,960 --> 01:28:15,000
Speaker 3: One Erics with the Iron Claw. Oh, by the way,

2044
01:28:15,160 --> 01:28:21,400
Speaker 3: the trailer, Zach, no what, there's a trailer. I saw

2045
01:28:21,479 --> 01:28:22,639
Speaker 3: they were making the movie.

2046
01:28:22,720 --> 01:28:26,320
Speaker 2: But and Zach Effrons, after you talk to Henry, we're

2047
01:28:26,360 --> 01:28:28,840
Speaker 2: gonna go watch the trailer. Okay, so that's the part

2048
01:28:28,920 --> 01:28:31,400
Speaker 2: you don't see or don't hear. Right there, we ended

2049
01:28:31,439 --> 01:28:34,320
Speaker 2: the end podcast right there, so thank you for listening.

2050
01:28:34,680 --> 01:28:37,799
Speaker 2: But then I went pulled up the Iron Claw trailer

2051
01:28:38,520 --> 01:28:42,240
Speaker 2: and it looks awesome. I mean, if you're my demographic

2052
01:28:42,320 --> 01:28:45,600
Speaker 2: and you grew up watching Von Erics, you gotta see it.

2053
01:28:45,680 --> 01:28:46,280
Speaker 7: And look.

2054
01:28:46,600 --> 01:28:48,760
Speaker 1: If you know the story, you know it's it's sad,

2055
01:28:48,800 --> 01:28:49,400
Speaker 1: it's emotional.

2056
01:28:49,479 --> 01:28:53,519
Speaker 2: But man, Zach Effron, Jeremy Allen White, those are just

2057
01:28:53,600 --> 01:28:55,760
Speaker 2: two of the names. I don't know who else is it.

2058
01:28:55,880 --> 01:28:58,240
Speaker 2: Those are the two that I recognize. It's gonna be

2059
01:28:58,439 --> 01:29:01,400
Speaker 2: awesome if those two are in it. My goodness, it

2060
01:29:01,520 --> 01:29:06,040
Speaker 2: is going to be fabulous.

2061
01:29:04,920 --> 01:29:05,920
Speaker 1: If not emotional.

2062
01:29:06,040 --> 01:29:09,479
Speaker 2: So I understand, you gotta go see it, iron Claw.

2063
01:29:09,640 --> 01:29:11,840
Speaker 2: I can't believe that Drew hadn't seen that trailer yet.

2064
01:29:12,800 --> 01:29:16,200
Speaker 2: That's a pretty emotional trailer too, so they gotta be careful.

2065
01:29:16,240 --> 01:29:17,880
Speaker 2: But iron Claw, I don't know when it's coming out,

2066
01:29:18,160 --> 01:29:19,920
Speaker 2: and they're not paying me anything to say that. I

2067
01:29:20,000 --> 01:29:22,080
Speaker 2: just can't wait to see how they do that movie.

2068
01:29:22,320 --> 01:29:25,240
Speaker 2: And I'm not at that age where movies are coming

2069
01:29:25,280 --> 01:29:30,439
Speaker 2: out that I can remember of, you know, where I was,

2070
01:29:30,520 --> 01:29:32,800
Speaker 2: what I was doing, like, I can remember that real

2071
01:29:32,960 --> 01:29:35,160
Speaker 2: thing happening, and now movies are being made of it.

2072
01:29:35,640 --> 01:29:37,720
Speaker 2: So yeah, When I moved to Texas in nineteen eighty three,

2073
01:29:37,760 --> 01:29:38,720
Speaker 2: that was one of the things I used to do

2074
01:29:38,760 --> 01:29:41,960
Speaker 2: with my two good pals, Lance and Mike Zaraline, and

2075
01:29:42,160 --> 01:29:44,960
Speaker 2: we'd go over there, we'd watch Saturday morning wrestling from

2076
01:29:45,000 --> 01:29:47,720
Speaker 2: the Sportatorium and then we'd watch Saturday night wrestling for

2077
01:29:47,840 --> 01:29:51,040
Speaker 2: a long time. So that kind of resonates with me,

2078
01:29:51,160 --> 01:29:54,280
Speaker 2: there's no question. But football resonates with me, and there's

2079
01:29:54,320 --> 01:29:57,000
Speaker 2: a game of Tomorrow night Steelers.

2080
01:29:57,000 --> 01:29:59,720
Speaker 1: Titans in Pittsburgh.

2081
01:30:00,280 --> 01:30:02,920
Speaker 2: We've got some information about that game, one player in

2082
01:30:02,960 --> 01:30:05,080
Speaker 2: particular that could make a big, big.

2083
01:30:05,080 --> 01:30:06,000
Speaker 1: Splash in this one.

2084
01:30:06,040 --> 01:30:10,439
Speaker 2: We'll get to that next In Texas All Access, we

2085
01:30:10,560 --> 01:30:13,160
Speaker 2: got one final segment of this initiative, Texas All Access.

2086
01:30:13,400 --> 01:30:15,840
Speaker 2: I'm your host, John Harris, Football and a sideline reporter.

2087
01:30:15,960 --> 01:30:22,559
Speaker 2: Glad you're with me each and every Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Sunday,

2088
01:30:23,200 --> 01:30:25,560
Speaker 2: sometimes on Saturday. But I appreciate you being with me.

2089
01:30:25,680 --> 01:30:28,640
Speaker 2: Thank you very much, especially on this show. We've had

2090
01:30:28,680 --> 01:30:31,479
Speaker 2: a good time bringing you Nick Casserio, Indy Kolulo, Might

2091
01:30:31,600 --> 01:30:33,280
Speaker 2: Quinn in the lab.

2092
01:30:33,120 --> 01:30:35,639
Speaker 1: Blaring me TONSL and dpcity was really fun.

2093
01:30:36,120 --> 01:30:37,800
Speaker 2: Uh, let's finish up going around the league cause there's

2094
01:30:37,800 --> 01:30:40,519
Speaker 2: a lot of information things happening now. The one to

2095
01:30:40,600 --> 01:30:45,040
Speaker 2: night teased game tomorrow night in Pittsburgh, Titans taking on

2096
01:30:45,400 --> 01:30:50,720
Speaker 2: the Steelers. Titans got Will Levis going, man, they got

2097
01:30:50,760 --> 01:30:52,719
Speaker 2: that thing rocking with Will Levis.

2098
01:30:53,120 --> 01:30:56,040
Speaker 1: But there's some big information about this.

2099
01:30:56,080 --> 01:30:57,840
Speaker 2: Pittsburgh is still a two and a half point favorite,

2100
01:30:57,880 --> 01:31:00,280
Speaker 2: so the so Vegas feels like the Titans are editor

2101
01:31:00,520 --> 01:31:02,320
Speaker 2: at three and four and the Steelers at four and three,

2102
01:31:02,360 --> 01:31:09,000
Speaker 2: so they're riding the Will Lewis train. However, Cam Hayward,

2103
01:31:09,040 --> 01:31:12,519
Speaker 2: who didn't play against the Texans, is going to be

2104
01:31:12,880 --> 01:31:17,480
Speaker 2: ready to roll on Thursday night. He is arguably Pittsburgh's

2105
01:31:17,560 --> 01:31:20,800
Speaker 2: best defender outside of TJ.

2106
01:31:21,000 --> 01:31:22,559
Speaker 1: Watt maybe Minka.

2107
01:31:22,680 --> 01:31:23,320
Speaker 7: So you go TJ.

2108
01:31:23,439 --> 01:31:27,439
Speaker 2: Watt one, Cam Hayward two, Maca three, Alex Heismith four

2109
01:31:27,479 --> 01:31:30,640
Speaker 2: if you were just a power rank the Steelers defenders.

2110
01:31:30,960 --> 01:31:34,080
Speaker 2: But they will get Cam Hayward back, so they'll have TJ. Watt,

2111
01:31:34,160 --> 01:31:38,280
Speaker 2: Cam Hayward, Alex Highsmith. Sounds like no, makea Fitzpatrick for

2112
01:31:38,320 --> 01:31:40,640
Speaker 2: this one. He injured a hamstring chasing around one of

2113
01:31:40,640 --> 01:31:43,320
Speaker 2: the Jaguars receivers last week in a twenty to ten

2114
01:31:43,400 --> 01:31:45,960
Speaker 2: loss with the Steelers. So need the Steelers on Thursday night.

2115
01:31:46,040 --> 01:31:48,679
Speaker 2: They came up big in prime time, beating the Browns

2116
01:31:48,680 --> 01:31:50,800
Speaker 2: when we needed it. Now they got to knock off

2117
01:31:50,920 --> 01:31:53,040
Speaker 2: the Titans and Will Levis. I'm kind of excited to

2118
01:31:53,080 --> 01:31:54,639
Speaker 2: see the Titans, though I haven't really had a chance

2119
01:31:54,680 --> 01:31:57,200
Speaker 2: to watch them much with games every week, and then

2120
01:31:57,200 --> 01:31:58,880
Speaker 2: they were gonna buy the same week we were gonna buy,

2121
01:31:59,000 --> 01:32:00,760
Speaker 2: so they didn't get to see them much.

2122
01:32:01,360 --> 01:32:02,040
Speaker 1: But I'm curious.

2123
01:32:02,160 --> 01:32:03,840
Speaker 2: Well, I was threw four touchdowns, could have had a

2124
01:32:03,920 --> 01:32:06,880
Speaker 2: better debut, but he will now have to face the

2125
01:32:06,880 --> 01:32:13,040
Speaker 2: Steelers with TJ. Watt, Alex Highsmith and Cam Hayward. Steelers,

2126
01:32:13,360 --> 01:32:15,360
Speaker 2: go get it done.

2127
01:32:15,240 --> 01:32:15,599
Speaker 1: All right.

2128
01:32:16,080 --> 01:32:21,760
Speaker 2: The Atlanta Falcons made an announcement. Arthur Smith said, it's

2129
01:32:21,960 --> 01:32:26,600
Speaker 2: Taylor Heinekey against the Minnesota Vikings. Now there's been a

2130
01:32:26,760 --> 01:32:30,080
Speaker 2: little bit of controversy about this from a number of

2131
01:32:30,160 --> 01:32:34,880
Speaker 2: different avenues. There's talk about Desmond Ritter being hurt last

2132
01:32:34,960 --> 01:32:38,200
Speaker 2: week against the Titans and then getting cleared but not

2133
01:32:38,320 --> 01:32:39,800
Speaker 2: quite right to go back in the game, and so

2134
01:32:39,920 --> 01:32:42,439
Speaker 2: they decided to stick with Heineke. And I don't know,

2135
01:32:42,600 --> 01:32:44,479
Speaker 2: I have no idea. I just know that Arthur Smith

2136
01:32:44,920 --> 01:32:48,680
Speaker 2: announced today that Taylor Heinekey will start for the Atlanta Falcons,

2137
01:32:49,600 --> 01:32:53,639
Speaker 2: with Desmond Ritters serving as the backup. Arthur Smith told

2138
01:32:54,160 --> 01:32:57,559
Speaker 2: the assembled media, and I quote just for this week,

2139
01:32:57,800 --> 01:32:59,760
Speaker 2: just with all the variables, just kind of considering everything

2140
01:32:59,800 --> 01:33:01,880
Speaker 2: in last seventy two hours and what we feel is

2141
01:33:01,920 --> 01:33:03,360
Speaker 2: best for this week against Minnesota.

2142
01:33:03,720 --> 01:33:09,960
Speaker 1: Taylor will play this week. So hmm, interesting things in Atlanta.

2143
01:33:09,960 --> 01:33:11,640
Speaker 2: I've said all along if I felt like Atlanta was

2144
01:33:11,640 --> 01:33:14,519
Speaker 2: gonna end up with a quarterback, Look, you try out

2145
01:33:14,560 --> 01:33:18,160
Speaker 2: your third rounder, you give him an opportunity, you see

2146
01:33:18,240 --> 01:33:20,599
Speaker 2: what he can do. And if you don't like it, well,

2147
01:33:21,320 --> 01:33:24,280
Speaker 2: twenty twenty four draft has got a ton of quarterbacks,

2148
01:33:24,960 --> 01:33:29,960
Speaker 2: A ton, I mean a ton, and Alanta's gonna be

2149
01:33:30,000 --> 01:33:31,280
Speaker 2: able to get themselves a good quarterback.

2150
01:33:31,360 --> 01:33:32,880
Speaker 1: Now. They could also trade for one.

2151
01:33:33,760 --> 01:33:36,479
Speaker 2: They could also maybe, I don't know, look at Jimmy Garoppolo,

2152
01:33:36,720 --> 01:33:38,840
Speaker 2: because it sounds like Jimmy Garoppolo is gonna have some

2153
01:33:38,960 --> 01:33:41,880
Speaker 2: time in his hands because he has been benched. We

2154
01:33:42,000 --> 01:33:46,040
Speaker 2: talked about it earlier. Raiders making moves last night, probably

2155
01:33:46,080 --> 01:33:50,599
Speaker 2: around I don't know midnight here. Fired Josh mcdanie's head coach,

2156
01:33:50,880 --> 01:33:54,719
Speaker 2: fired GM David Ziggiler, fired Mick Lombardi, the offensive coordinator.

2157
01:33:55,600 --> 01:34:00,639
Speaker 2: In their stead, Antonio Pierce steps out as the interim

2158
01:34:00,720 --> 01:34:03,800
Speaker 2: head coach. One of the first moves they have made

2159
01:34:04,000 --> 01:34:08,800
Speaker 2: Aiden O'Connell the starter for the Raiders going forward.

2160
01:34:08,880 --> 01:34:09,000
Speaker 1: Now.

2161
01:34:09,040 --> 01:34:13,639
Speaker 2: There have been some some jokes, some thoughts that Raiders

2162
01:34:13,760 --> 01:34:15,880
Speaker 2: management upper management I e.

2163
01:34:16,080 --> 01:34:18,960
Speaker 1: The Davis family, I e. Mark Davis pushed for this.

2164
01:34:19,160 --> 01:34:20,840
Speaker 1: I don't know, I have no idea.

2165
01:34:21,200 --> 01:34:23,560
Speaker 2: I quite honestly think gave O'Connell's the best quarterback the

2166
01:34:23,680 --> 01:34:26,000
Speaker 2: Raiders have, and I'm surprised in some sense that they

2167
01:34:26,000 --> 01:34:29,000
Speaker 2: didn't go to him earlier. But either way, Jimmy Garoppolo

2168
01:34:29,560 --> 01:34:33,759
Speaker 2: bench six starts into his tenure, couldn't stay healthy, wasn't consistent.

2169
01:34:34,160 --> 01:34:36,439
Speaker 2: So now they go Aidan O'Connell. Connell started once this

2170
01:34:36,600 --> 01:34:39,360
Speaker 2: year against the Chargers. He went twenty four to twenty

2171
01:34:39,479 --> 01:34:42,120
Speaker 2: nine two hundred and thirty eight yards. He did have

2172
01:34:42,200 --> 01:34:44,639
Speaker 2: an interception, and it was a twenty four to seventeen

2173
01:34:44,680 --> 01:34:47,479
Speaker 2: loss for the Raiders. We'll see what Aidan O'Connell's got.

2174
01:34:47,520 --> 01:34:49,560
Speaker 2: There are a lot of scouts that thought he was

2175
01:34:49,680 --> 01:34:52,040
Speaker 2: kind of a poor man's Jared Goff. Well, I know

2176
01:34:52,120 --> 01:34:54,880
Speaker 2: one scout that said that was me. I said that,

2177
01:34:55,000 --> 01:34:56,240
Speaker 2: and I think he's pretty solid.

2178
01:34:56,600 --> 01:34:57,040
Speaker 1: He's great.

2179
01:34:57,800 --> 01:35:02,000
Speaker 2: Curious to see how the Raiders fail with Aidan O'Connell

2180
01:35:02,320 --> 01:35:07,200
Speaker 2: as the starter there at that particular point. Trades yesterday,

2181
01:35:07,240 --> 01:35:10,559
Speaker 2: all kinds of them going on. You had Chase Young

2182
01:35:10,680 --> 01:35:12,679
Speaker 2: going out to the forty nine ers. You had Montes

2183
01:35:12,800 --> 01:35:15,800
Speaker 2: Sweat leaving Washington as well going to the Chicago Bears.

2184
01:35:15,920 --> 01:35:18,919
Speaker 2: Russell Douglas ended up going from the Packers to the Bills.

2185
01:35:19,800 --> 01:35:22,840
Speaker 2: The Vikings made a deal for Josh Dobbs with with

2186
01:35:24,280 --> 01:35:28,360
Speaker 2: Kirk Cousins sideline, So a lot of things happening in

2187
01:35:28,439 --> 01:35:30,080
Speaker 2: and around the trade deadline. So this is gonna be

2188
01:35:30,080 --> 01:35:31,840
Speaker 2: an interesting week to see how many of those guys

2189
01:35:31,960 --> 01:35:33,200
Speaker 2: get on the field.

2190
01:35:33,920 --> 01:35:38,240
Speaker 1: And do anything anything for their teams this week.

2191
01:35:38,360 --> 01:35:42,600
Speaker 2: So I'm probably curious most about Dobbs and what he

2192
01:35:42,800 --> 01:35:43,920
Speaker 2: does with the Vikings.

2193
01:35:43,960 --> 01:35:45,760
Speaker 1: Does he start, do they go with Jaron Hall?

2194
01:35:45,800 --> 01:35:47,479
Speaker 2: I think Jaron Hall has been announced as a starter,

2195
01:35:47,640 --> 01:35:50,240
Speaker 2: but does Dobbs get on the field for that.

2196
01:35:50,320 --> 01:35:51,240
Speaker 1: Particular week, I don't know.

2197
01:35:51,320 --> 01:35:54,000
Speaker 2: We'll see a lot of things going on in the NFL,

2198
01:35:54,080 --> 01:35:55,720
Speaker 2: and it's always fun to talk about it with you.

2199
01:35:55,880 --> 01:35:57,639
Speaker 1: So thank you for being with me. We will see

2200
01:35:57,680 --> 01:35:58,200
Speaker 1: you next time.

2201

2202
