1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:04,120
Speaker 1: Hello, Texans, Welcome to the program originating tonight from the

2
00:00:04,160 --> 00:00:08,560
Speaker 1: Motor City Detroit, Michigan, the Greater Detroit area. Mark Vandermain

3
00:00:08,600 --> 00:00:10,760
Speaker 1: and John Harris with you Texans here for a joint

4
00:00:10,760 --> 00:00:14,160
Speaker 1: practice today with the Lions and the game on Saturday

5
00:00:14,360 --> 00:00:17,680
Speaker 1: noon kick live right here and on ABC thirteen. Johnny

6
00:00:17,680 --> 00:00:19,439
Speaker 1: Harris will be in the TV booth with n D.

7
00:00:19,600 --> 00:00:22,759
Speaker 1: Kalou and Kevin Cooge. They're great broadcaster. Was watching that

8
00:00:22,840 --> 00:00:24,480
Speaker 1: in the middle of the night as I couldn't sleep,

9
00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:27,920
Speaker 1: Not that it was good insomnia cure stuff, Johnny, because

10
00:00:28,200 --> 00:00:30,800
Speaker 1: I stayed up for so much of that and it

11
00:00:30,880 --> 00:00:32,879
Speaker 1: was really compelling stuff. So people want to catch that

12
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:35,240
Speaker 1: Saturday at noon. Andre and I on the radio. So

13
00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:37,879
Speaker 1: we've got you covered in all sorts of ways, and

14
00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:41,720
Speaker 1: let's get into it. We're in Michigan where the temperature's nice.

15
00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:43,880
Speaker 1: We're not gonna be labor the point. We're not gonna brag.

16
00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:45,240
Speaker 1: We're not gonna weather brag.

17
00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:49,640
Speaker 2: But let's let's say before the practice we were a

18
00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:50,240
Speaker 2: little cold.

19
00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:50,800
Speaker 3: We were cold.

20
00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:54,040
Speaker 1: We were cold, we were actually literally chilly, and the

21
00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:58,400
Speaker 1: locals were saying, this is cold because it was unseasonably

22
00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:00,240
Speaker 1: cold and you know how you get those seas in

23
00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:03,480
Speaker 1: previews late in each season. You get a season preview

24
00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:06,120
Speaker 1: of summer in the spring where it's all of a

25
00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:09,200
Speaker 1: sudden ninety five, but it doesn't stay that way. It

26
00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:11,600
Speaker 1: just gives you a little glimpse and we'll get a

27
00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:14,440
Speaker 1: fall preview day eventually, I hope in Houston. But here

28
00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:17,080
Speaker 1: they were getting a fall preview day today and the

29
00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:20,360
Speaker 1: Texans benefited from that because they got great work done

30
00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:23,280
Speaker 1: with the Detroit Lions, Johnny. I mean, that was two

31
00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:27,880
Speaker 1: contenders going at it, really great action back and forth,

32
00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:31,479
Speaker 1: both teams making plays both sides of the ball. It's

33
00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:33,759
Speaker 1: hard to declare a winner and a loser. I think

34
00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:36,840
Speaker 1: the winners are each team because you learn about your

35
00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:40,120
Speaker 1: team in these deals, and it also gives us a

36
00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:42,240
Speaker 1: glimpse of I don't think too many people are playing

37
00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:45,800
Speaker 1: Saturday as far as front liners go, if you will,

38
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:47,760
Speaker 1: but it's okay. It's gonna be a fun game to

39
00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:50,520
Speaker 1: do anyway. Today was really beneficial though.

40
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:53,520
Speaker 2: I felt like today was one of those days. It

41
00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:55,600
Speaker 2: was interesting because as I sun the Texans come out

42
00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:59,480
Speaker 2: of they were in the not the bubble, but the

43
00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:00,680
Speaker 2: Meer Formance Center.

44
00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:03,560
Speaker 4: When it came out. I was like, they look a

45
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:04,600
Speaker 4: little flat. I could.

46
00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:06,920
Speaker 3: I was watching the linebackers in front of me do.

47
00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:10,240
Speaker 2: Individual and I could see Billy Davis and Ben Bowling

48
00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:12,120
Speaker 2: like trying to get him going, and he could. I

49
00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:14,640
Speaker 2: was like, they just feel a little flat. And it

50
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:17,480
Speaker 2: makes sense. You know, you're an Eastern time. You flew

51
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:19,720
Speaker 2: up here yesterday, those kind of things, and.

52
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:21,919
Speaker 3: I'll give you another one bus ride. Where bus ride.

53
00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:23,760
Speaker 1: We're at a team hotel right now and it's a

54
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:25,079
Speaker 1: bit of a haul to get there.

55
00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:27,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, look, we're not We're not.

56
00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:30,560
Speaker 2: You have first world problems, yeah, football, you know, But

57
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:32,120
Speaker 2: but it just felt like there was a little bit

58
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:35,079
Speaker 2: of kind of flatness. And then I decided I was

59
00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:36,880
Speaker 2: going to spend the day watching the offense, and when

60
00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:39,080
Speaker 2: I could sneak in a view of the defense, I would.

61
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:42,639
Speaker 4: But I also felt like we could hear.

62
00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:44,720
Speaker 2: The story of the day coming from the fans, and

63
00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:46,920
Speaker 2: early on there was a lot of fan involvement. They

64
00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:48,960
Speaker 2: were getting excited about things. I'm like, Okay, it's not

65
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:51,560
Speaker 2: going so well over there, and I'm watching the offense.

66
00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:53,359
Speaker 2: I'm like, well it's not going so well over here.

67
00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:58,240
Speaker 2: Early and then and I don't know when this happened.

68
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:00,799
Speaker 2: I was trying to pinpoint it, but there was one

69
00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:05,520
Speaker 2: play where CJ got hit nudge kind of knocked around,

70
00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:07,560
Speaker 2: and I remember him reaching kind of like for his

71
00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:10,880
Speaker 2: rib protector, like right like what his rib protect like,

72
00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:12,080
Speaker 2: and I couldn't tell.

73
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:13,280
Speaker 3: He's kind of leaning over, and I.

74
00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:15,359
Speaker 4: Thought, well, you know, did he get hit in the back?

75
00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:16,400
Speaker 4: Is something going on?

76
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:18,440
Speaker 3: We weren't just weren't. Wasn't sure.

77
00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:22,040
Speaker 2: He ended up being okay, But I just marked the

78
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:25,720
Speaker 2: time at that point because from that point forward, and

79
00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:27,680
Speaker 2: that was probably about a third of the way through practice.

80
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:30,760
Speaker 2: From that point forward, the offense really got going. They

81
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:32,640
Speaker 2: started run the ball pretty well. When he Marks had

82
00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:35,520
Speaker 2: a really nice run to the outside following Cam Robinson

83
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:38,560
Speaker 2: on a toss play was really nice. Nick Chubb ran

84
00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:40,480
Speaker 2: the ball well, kind of took a duo and bounced

85
00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:42,560
Speaker 2: it outside. Did a nice job with that. But then

86
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:45,320
Speaker 2: the quarterbacks started dealing. I felt like both CJ and

87
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:47,320
Speaker 2: Davis really threw the ball. It was only those two

88
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:50,120
Speaker 2: They went with those two units, and they threw the

89
00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:52,680
Speaker 2: ball really well, and they started kind of getting into

90
00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:54,600
Speaker 2: good rhythm and I was like, man, they did red

91
00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:56,480
Speaker 2: zone and they scored a bunch in the red zone.

92
00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:59,440
Speaker 2: They were making catches in the red zone. Then they

93
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:01,680
Speaker 2: went back to a team drill. In the very first play,

94
00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:03,960
Speaker 2: they ran play action and CJ stuck that ball kind

95
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:06,360
Speaker 2: of hid behind the defensive line, but the offensive line,

96
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:10,000
Speaker 2: and I just remember Alexandeloni was just like, he's just

97
00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:11,320
Speaker 2: running to the B gap.

98
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:12,800
Speaker 4: He's gonna stop that run.

99
00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:16,240
Speaker 2: And CJ stepped up, Nika ran a slant boom stuck

100
00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:18,800
Speaker 2: it on him, and it was like, Okay, we're here.

101
00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:20,880
Speaker 3: Now we're playing. And from that point forward, it.

102
00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:24,120
Speaker 2: Felt like the Texans offense really started getting it going.

103
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:28,200
Speaker 2: But I tweeted I tweeted this or something of this.

104
00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:30,520
Speaker 2: I'll paraphrase it basically, but it was kind of a

105
00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:33,440
Speaker 2: tease for Harris hits, which you could see at to

106
00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:36,400
Speaker 2: Houston Texas dot Com. I did a full hits again,

107
00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:39,720
Speaker 2: a lot of it's offensively. But it was about that

108
00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:43,800
Speaker 2: time that I started watching Titus Howard at right tackle

109
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:47,120
Speaker 2: and Aiden Hutchinson as the left defensive end, and.

110
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:48,840
Speaker 4: I was like, okay, yeah, let me watch this a

111
00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:49,240
Speaker 4: little bit.

112
00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:51,520
Speaker 2: Let me kind of focus on these two because I

113
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:53,800
Speaker 2: can watch these two and then see where the ball

114
00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:56,880
Speaker 2: goes and kind of catching. I watched them for a

115
00:04:56,960 --> 00:05:01,720
Speaker 2: good dozen or more reps, and I'm like, Titus is

116
00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:08,240
Speaker 2: not only winning the reps, He's getting Hutchinson frustrated. Like

117
00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:12,400
Speaker 2: I could see Hutchinson on three straight pass plays. He

118
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:15,960
Speaker 2: tried three different moves to get to CJ. He tried

119
00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:17,919
Speaker 2: a long arm move, he tried to bull rush, and

120
00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:19,680
Speaker 2: then he tried to go with a speed rush on

121
00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:22,520
Speaker 2: the high side, and Titus just locked each one of

122
00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:25,320
Speaker 2: them up and he made it look really easy, and

123
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:27,040
Speaker 2: I thought, man, it's really good.

124
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:28,360
Speaker 4: Next drive, same thing.

125
00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:30,800
Speaker 2: So now I'm watching it, I look up and I'm like, oh,

126
00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:33,400
Speaker 2: I guess Hutchinson went out, So I looked the other side.

127
00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:34,840
Speaker 4: No, he moved to the other side.

128
00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:38,560
Speaker 2: Now he went against Ariante and he threw a spin

129
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:40,479
Speaker 2: move on Arionte and he got to the quarterback.

130
00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:42,800
Speaker 4: But I saw Titus.

131
00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:46,120
Speaker 2: After practice, and he knows that I go down and

132
00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:48,760
Speaker 2: watch the one on ones the offense line defense live.

133
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:50,160
Speaker 2: He knows I go down and watch him, and so

134
00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:52,440
Speaker 2: he's like, he's like, did you And I said, man,

135
00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:54,880
Speaker 2: you did a great job, and team he goes, dude,

136
00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:56,560
Speaker 2: did you see the one on ones? And I was like, no,

137
00:05:56,640 --> 00:05:57,800
Speaker 2: I was all the way another side of the field,

138
00:05:57,800 --> 00:05:59,920
Speaker 2: I couldn't see Hi. He goes locked him up then too,

139
00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:02,080
Speaker 2: he said he was going to go to the other

140
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:04,920
Speaker 2: side and go work on seventy nine because he wasn't

141
00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:09,200
Speaker 2: doing anything against seventy one. And I just I heard

142
00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:12,880
Speaker 2: that and I thought, man, that just that jived with

143
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:16,080
Speaker 2: what I was seeing during team with Titus over there

144
00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:20,760
Speaker 2: on the right side. Because during team, when Hutchinson wanted

145
00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:23,240
Speaker 2: to do something, he went over and decided he'd go

146
00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:24,960
Speaker 2: against the rookie. And look, it wasn't like he got

147
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:28,320
Speaker 2: Ariante every single time. But when he went and gains Titus,

148
00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:31,919
Speaker 2: he got absolutely nothing. And when you see Hutchinson on

149
00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:35,520
Speaker 2: the hoof, like, holy crap, that is a dude. Like

150
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:38,160
Speaker 2: he looks different than Daniel and Will. It's like if

151
00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:41,880
Speaker 2: Will and Daniil merged together into one. The height of

152
00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:45,080
Speaker 2: Daniel but the kind of size of Will. Like wow,

153
00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:48,400
Speaker 2: and Titys did a great job on him. I was

154
00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:51,320
Speaker 2: really just I was so happy and impressed with what

155
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:52,120
Speaker 2: he was doing.

156
00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:55,080
Speaker 3: Even on the offense was kind of struggling early.

157
00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:58,760
Speaker 2: I could see him working on Hutchinson and just knocking

158
00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:01,760
Speaker 2: his hands down getting him off anchoring against bul Rush

159
00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:04,640
Speaker 2: all that Titus had one of his better days, and

160
00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:06,719
Speaker 2: it was really good to talk to him after practice

161
00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:08,360
Speaker 2: and know that he was doing that. In the one

162
00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:10,440
Speaker 2: on ones two which we couldn't see from the far field.

163
00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:13,320
Speaker 2: The funny thing was is I saw one rep one

164
00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:15,120
Speaker 2: from all the way down the other side of the field.

165
00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:17,400
Speaker 4: It just happened to be Ariante left tackle.

166
00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:19,560
Speaker 2: And I actually thought it was a run drill because

167
00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:24,120
Speaker 2: whoever it was, he took and basically threw him all

168
00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:26,440
Speaker 2: the way down the line of scrimmage, and then when

169
00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:28,200
Speaker 2: he tried to wheel back out, he just took him

170
00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:29,480
Speaker 2: and did it again. That was the only one on

171
00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:32,040
Speaker 2: one rep I happened to see. It just happened to

172
00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:36,760
Speaker 2: be Urseries against him. But I know we've talked about

173
00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:40,040
Speaker 2: the offensive line a lot, but to get confirmation look

174
00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:43,040
Speaker 2: at it and go that right there, one on one,

175
00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:46,120
Speaker 2: their best pass rusher, one of the top fifty players

176
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:48,320
Speaker 2: in this league, one of the top eight to ten

177
00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:52,200
Speaker 2: pass rushers in this league, and there's Titus just shutting

178
00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:53,440
Speaker 2: him down dealing with it.

179
00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:54,600
Speaker 3: It was great. It was great.

180
00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:57,800
Speaker 1: I thought the headline was and it's related to all this.

181
00:07:58,080 --> 00:07:59,800
Speaker 1: What you just mentioned, and you mentioned a couple of

182
00:07:59,840 --> 00:08:03,040
Speaker 1: things about Chubb and also about Woody Marks, and it

183
00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:06,120
Speaker 1: was great to see a Damian Pierce sighting out there.

184
00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:06,880
Speaker 3: That was nice too.

185
00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:11,440
Speaker 1: Touchdown catch today, Yes, a touchdown catch by Jamian Pierre. Yeah,

186
00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:13,520
Speaker 1: I mean it's wide open, there was nobody near him,

187
00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:15,360
Speaker 1: but it's still you know, he can catch the ball

188
00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:18,760
Speaker 1: so well. I thought the ability to run the ball

189
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:22,040
Speaker 1: was on display. It wasn't like twenty yards of pop,

190
00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:26,040
Speaker 1: but they were moving the line of scrimmage. Again, this

191
00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:29,960
Speaker 1: offensive line against a really good defense, against a Super

192
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:33,439
Speaker 1: Bowl contender. And again it's joint practice. We're not throwing

193
00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:36,360
Speaker 1: a parade downtown for this, but we are saying.

194
00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:39,480
Speaker 3: On this day, good yep, good work.

195
00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:42,800
Speaker 1: You had the Lions at their place, you had the

196
00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:45,880
Speaker 1: moving backwards, you had some gashes on the ground.

197
00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:49,520
Speaker 3: I thought, Johnny at that point, I'm good to go home. Now.

198
00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:51,760
Speaker 1: Let's just pack it all up, let's go back to Houston.

199
00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:54,079
Speaker 1: We don't need to do anything else that we saw.

200
00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:58,360
Speaker 1: That is a really great sign. And I almost don't

201
00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:00,400
Speaker 1: need to see anything else because the defense.

202
00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:04,520
Speaker 3: Look this just in The Lions have some playmakers. Man.

203
00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:07,520
Speaker 1: You look at their offense. You look at the talent

204
00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:10,720
Speaker 1: on the field, it's proven talent. It's not like that

205
00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:15,599
Speaker 1: guy could be pretty good, you know. I mean you

206
00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:19,040
Speaker 1: almost forget about Laporta. You're watching them, You're watching a Monra,

207
00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:26,040
Speaker 1: You're watching me receivers for days. Jamior Gibbs is insanely quick,

208
00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:29,080
Speaker 1: up close and personal at field level at a joint practice.

209
00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:32,800
Speaker 1: So if he gets the edge, you know, you see

210
00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:34,680
Speaker 1: it on TV, but when you see it at that.

211
00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:37,679
Speaker 3: Level, it's incredible. And I was just.

212
00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:40,240
Speaker 1: Thinking how wonderful it is to be there because you

213
00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:43,280
Speaker 1: were more in the end zone watching the offense come

214
00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:46,240
Speaker 1: at you against their defense. I was between the two

215
00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:49,120
Speaker 1: fields end zone area, and I was going back and

216
00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:49,959
Speaker 1: forth for a while.

217
00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:51,240
Speaker 3: It was beautifully in phase.

218
00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:55,160
Speaker 1: It was Lions snap, Texan snap, Lion snap, Texans snap.

219
00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:57,959
Speaker 1: But I'm thinking, I got Jared Goff and c J.

220
00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:01,880
Speaker 1: Stroud operating. Their offense is coming right at me. And

221
00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:04,720
Speaker 1: it was awesome to see to be at that level

222
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:07,720
Speaker 1: and just to see the work getting done. And believe me,

223
00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:11,080
Speaker 1: the Lions made plays, the Texians made plays. Everybody was

224
00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:15,280
Speaker 1: making plays. If you shut the Lions out from making plays,

225
00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:19,440
Speaker 1: you've done something. Now, remember last year Sunday Night Football,

226
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:23,160
Speaker 1: what happened. The Texans picked off Jared Goff five times.

227
00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:25,959
Speaker 1: So I think there's some proven water under the bridge

228
00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:29,400
Speaker 1: for this defense performing well against this offense. Today you

229
00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:31,920
Speaker 1: saw that offense they remembered that they wanted to make

230
00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:34,240
Speaker 1: some plays and they did. You got a bullet pick

231
00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:37,640
Speaker 1: though of third time in ten months you had Jared

232
00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:41,520
Speaker 1: Goff in the end zone and having a manra hugging

233
00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:44,080
Speaker 1: him after in mock celebration.

234
00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:45,880
Speaker 3: But it was fun. It was a fun moment. It

235
00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:46,720
Speaker 3: was great to see those.

236
00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:47,760
Speaker 4: Two USC guys.

237
00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:50,000
Speaker 2: People are wondering, so there was that and it was

238
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:53,480
Speaker 2: that kind of spirit I felt like throughout the practice.

239
00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:56,000
Speaker 2: And look, it helps that one of their defensive leaders

240
00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:58,240
Speaker 2: is a guy that Houston knows very well on DJ Reider.

241
00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:02,080
Speaker 2: But there was no one of the cheap kind of nonsense,

242
00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:06,360
Speaker 2: you know, chippy stuff. Even when Titus was going against Hutchinson,

243
00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:09,840
Speaker 2: I could see hutch getting frustrated. You know, he didn't like,

244
00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:12,640
Speaker 2: he didn't do anything to Titus. He just went back

245
00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:15,040
Speaker 2: for the next rep and try and find something that worked.

246
00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:16,360
Speaker 2: And there was.

247
00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:18,560
Speaker 4: Not a lot of you know, trash talking guys just.

248
00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:20,960
Speaker 2: Went out and played ball, and it was the Lions

249
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:23,600
Speaker 2: making a play. Once it was the Texans making a play.

250
00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:25,240
Speaker 4: It was really it was really even.

251
00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:28,040
Speaker 2: It was fun to watch from that perspective because you know,

252
00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:30,320
Speaker 2: later when we were on a bus, I saw the

253
00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:33,800
Speaker 2: Packers and Seahawks are having some brawl, like, you know,

254
00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:36,040
Speaker 2: like our fight that we had in twenty fifteen and

255
00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:38,440
Speaker 2: on hard knocks against the you know, the team formerly

256
00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:39,680
Speaker 2: known as the Redskins.

257
00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:41,840
Speaker 3: There was a huge brawl. It was all over the

258
00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:43,240
Speaker 3: place and.

259
00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:44,720
Speaker 4: Like you just waste time.

260
00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:48,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, And it just felt like there was such on

261
00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:51,000
Speaker 2: both sides. It was really cool to see just the

262
00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:54,120
Speaker 2: competition level ramp up. But you mentioned it, man, Watching

263
00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:55,760
Speaker 2: Jared Goffa football is a fun.

264
00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:56,000
Speaker 4: Thing to do.

265
00:11:56,360 --> 00:11:58,599
Speaker 2: I mean, he threw some sea He threw one to

266
00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:02,640
Speaker 2: Laporta on a crossing route, but I can't remember who

267
00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:04,679
Speaker 2: was in coverage with somebody's in pretty good coverage. So

268
00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:08,120
Speaker 2: he threw basically a back shoulder on a crossing route

269
00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:11,360
Speaker 2: to Laporta, and Laporta just without even missing a beat,

270
00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:13,320
Speaker 2: can see what he's doing and just reaches.

271
00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:14,760
Speaker 4: Back and snatches and you're like.

272
00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:18,719
Speaker 2: Good god, they chemistry, And that's exactly and I think

273
00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:22,400
Speaker 2: that's what we can take from it too, is that.

274
00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:23,520
Speaker 4: These guys are together.

275
00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:25,679
Speaker 2: They'reing the same it's a similar offense to the one

276
00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:27,960
Speaker 2: Ben Johnson ran, even though it's Johnny Morton running it.

277
00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:31,320
Speaker 2: They've been together. They've been together for you know years.

278
00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:33,400
Speaker 2: They've got Montgomery and Gibbs. And I will say this,

279
00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:36,640
Speaker 2: when the Lions tried to run the ball, they didn't

280
00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:37,080
Speaker 2: get much.

281
00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:38,200
Speaker 3: No, they didn't get.

282
00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:39,600
Speaker 2: Much when they when they tried to run the ball.

283
00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:41,360
Speaker 2: Now the Texas ran the ball, and the Texas ran

284
00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:42,160
Speaker 2: the ball pretty well.

285
00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:45,319
Speaker 1: Lines are better off throwing it to Gibbs right right,

286
00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:47,719
Speaker 1: running it with Gibbs against this defense today, And.

287
00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:51,040
Speaker 4: Yes they and bute man Gibbs.

288
00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:54,200
Speaker 2: I remember when he's drafted number twelve. Over're all people

289
00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:57,560
Speaker 2: are losing their mind. You don't draft the running back

290
00:12:57,640 --> 00:12:59,400
Speaker 2: that high. And I'm like, what do you think?

291
00:12:59,440 --> 00:12:59,600
Speaker 3: Now?

292
00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:05,040
Speaker 2: Don't this guy's pretty damn good? But Montgomery. I knew

293
00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:07,200
Speaker 2: Montgomery was again Iowa State.

294
00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:07,720
Speaker 3: Uh.

295
00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:11,880
Speaker 4: I knew Montgomery was snack sized in a sense, but

296
00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:14,480
Speaker 4: he's thick his legs.

297
00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:16,360
Speaker 2: And I mean just I was like watching Ke and

298
00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:19,000
Speaker 2: Gibbs go through the uh go through the little Batons,

299
00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:22,000
Speaker 2: you know, during their drills, and I was like, good God,

300
00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:24,959
Speaker 2: Now no wonder teams have such a troup such trouble

301
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:29,640
Speaker 2: stopping you. I mean, you know with Amana. And I'll

302
00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:31,720
Speaker 2: let me give you a name to watch. And if

303
00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:34,280
Speaker 2: you're out there playing fantasy, you might be a name

304
00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:37,120
Speaker 2: that you just draft late and you stash because I

305
00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:39,400
Speaker 2: don't know exactly how it's gonna go. But Dominic love

306
00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:42,679
Speaker 2: it from out of Georgia via Missouri, number nineteen.

307
00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:44,800
Speaker 3: He was all over the place today.

308
00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:48,960
Speaker 2: He was really difficult for the Texans to cover. So

309
00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:51,600
Speaker 2: keep put put that name down somewhere, just put it

310
00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:54,400
Speaker 2: off to the side, and you know, just stash him

311
00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:54,960
Speaker 2: on your team.

312
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:56,600
Speaker 4: Who like what, who's this guy?

313
00:13:56,880 --> 00:13:58,640
Speaker 2: He may not be the fourth or fifth receiver for

314
00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:01,680
Speaker 2: the Lions right now, but I'm telling you he's he's

315
00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:04,720
Speaker 2: gonna find a way in. And you have Amanas Saint Brown,

316
00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:07,640
Speaker 2: you got Khalif Raymond, you got Jamison Williams. And by

317
00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:10,520
Speaker 2: the way, Jamison, I saw him up close last year.

318
00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:13,280
Speaker 2: I mean I saw him up close, but today he just.

319
00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:15,320
Speaker 3: Looked bigger, longer than I could remember.

320
00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:17,880
Speaker 2: So you've got a pretty loaded receiving corporate I'm telling

321
00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:19,760
Speaker 2: you Dominic Love and is gonna find a way. And

322
00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:22,440
Speaker 2: I watched the first preseason game of the Lions at home.

323
00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:25,240
Speaker 2: Can remember they played, and I remember the announcers talking

324
00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:27,400
Speaker 2: about that. They were talking about Dominic love it. Can

325
00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:29,720
Speaker 2: you know he be the Day three surprise. The Lions

326
00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:31,120
Speaker 2: always find a Day three surprise.

327
00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:33,840
Speaker 4: I'll tell you what today he was. Definitely, I don't

328
00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:34,600
Speaker 4: only say a surprise.

329
00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:36,320
Speaker 2: I knew about him at Georgia, I knew bout him

330
00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:39,560
Speaker 2: at Missouri, but he really showed it off. I mean

331
00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:43,400
Speaker 2: an electric, electric player. And if teams are looking for receivers,

332
00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:45,440
Speaker 2: I don't know if they trade for a rookie, but

333
00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:48,200
Speaker 2: maybe they trade for Raymond. Maybe they trade for him,

334
00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:49,520
Speaker 2: Maybe they trade for Tim Patrick.

335
00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:52,960
Speaker 1: I think Raymond would be interesting for that to ship.

336
00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:55,000
Speaker 1: I don't really state them, yeah, but I don't know

337
00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:56,120
Speaker 1: if they want to exactly.

338
00:14:56,200 --> 00:14:57,520
Speaker 3: I don't know. If you want to want to win

339
00:14:57,600 --> 00:14:58,280
Speaker 3: the Super Bowl.

340
00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:00,560
Speaker 1: You didn't get as far as you did in twenty

341
00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:03,720
Speaker 1: twenty three in twenty twenty four, so you don't want

342
00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:07,400
Speaker 1: to take that chance. It's funny because Dan Campbell does

343
00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:10,440
Speaker 1: his press conference before practice, and a lot of coaches

344
00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:13,320
Speaker 1: do that. So I went into the room and he's

345
00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:16,280
Speaker 1: inside doing it and all the media. There's a lot

346
00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:19,960
Speaker 1: of Detroit media, my gosh. And there's some Texans media

347
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:23,000
Speaker 1: sprinkled in there, but mostly Detroit media and a lot

348
00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:25,680
Speaker 1: of them. Anyway, He's given his press conference and he's

349
00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:29,160
Speaker 1: talking about the Texans as an up and coming team

350
00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:32,400
Speaker 1: sort of. He says, there'll be a juggernaut for years

351
00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:36,600
Speaker 1: to come, but up and coming. And it's interesting because

352
00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:38,400
Speaker 1: we're not that far behind them.

353
00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:40,119
Speaker 3: In terms of the up and coming category.

354
00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:43,080
Speaker 1: I did notice that they went to the NFC Championship

355
00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:44,680
Speaker 1: game in twenty twenty three and they had a big

356
00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:47,040
Speaker 1: lead and they blew it. But that's all they've done

357
00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:50,360
Speaker 1: so far. They're in that Buffalo Bill's mindset of we

358
00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:53,160
Speaker 1: got to get there. This is I hate to talk

359
00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:56,280
Speaker 1: about windows, but it kind of is. It's maybe a

360
00:15:56,280 --> 00:15:59,000
Speaker 1: bigger window than anybody expects. But the window is not

361
00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:03,920
Speaker 1: just those core players. It's your quarterback window. Right, Bill's

362
00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:06,000
Speaker 1: are in a Josh Allen window. The Chiefs are ined

363
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:09,320
Speaker 1: this Mahomes window, which they're taking full advantage of. And

364
00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:11,720
Speaker 1: I don't know if I want to classify the Eagles

365
00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:14,200
Speaker 1: in the hurts window, but it is what it is.

366
00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:16,480
Speaker 1: I mean, he's playing really well for them, and you know,

367
00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:18,520
Speaker 1: I know he didn't win that first Super Bowl in

368
00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:20,760
Speaker 1: twenty seventeen, but he won the last one. He's been

369
00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:23,680
Speaker 1: to the one before that. So the point is this.

370
00:16:24,360 --> 00:16:27,560
Speaker 1: He called them a juggernaut for years to come. Dan

371
00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:30,640
Speaker 1: Campbell's endorsement of the Houston Texans. Another thing that happened

372
00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:34,040
Speaker 1: today was a personal note because I used to live here,

373
00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:37,800
Speaker 1: not in Detroit, but in Mount Pleasant, which is two

374
00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:41,040
Speaker 1: hours north of where we're staying, and I was the

375
00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:43,120
Speaker 1: voice of the Chipwalks back in the day, and the

376
00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:47,960
Speaker 1: Lions used to tour with a charity basketball team of players

377
00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:50,600
Speaker 1: and Robert Porchet was on one of those teams. And

378
00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:53,040
Speaker 1: I actually played as I quote celebrity because I was

379
00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:56,560
Speaker 1: in northern Michigan, so that's qualified at the time. And

380
00:16:57,520 --> 00:16:59,560
Speaker 1: I played against those guys and it was just, you know,

381
00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:03,280
Speaker 1: you're the Washington generals. You're more like the Washington privates

382
00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:06,000
Speaker 1: to their globetrotters.

383
00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:07,680
Speaker 3: Like they were dunking. I mean, they were having a

384
00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:08,160
Speaker 3: great time.

385
00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:10,840
Speaker 1: And Porchet was on that team and I said, you

386
00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:14,000
Speaker 1: don't remember me, but I've actually run into you before.

387
00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:16,719
Speaker 1: Maybe you ran over me, but he was it was.

388
00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:18,280
Speaker 1: We had a good laugh about it. He's a great

389
00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:21,040
Speaker 1: remember that. Oh yeah, he told me all about he

390
00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:22,840
Speaker 1: said this. I said, can you imagine doing that today?

391
00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:24,199
Speaker 1: Said yeah, but you know that was a way for

392
00:17:24,280 --> 00:17:26,120
Speaker 1: some of the younger guys to make money. He goes,

393
00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:29,600
Speaker 1: I didn't play much. Those guys played more and they

394
00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:32,800
Speaker 1: did that barnstorming tour to make some money. He's like,

395
00:17:32,840 --> 00:17:35,159
Speaker 1: you're right, it would never happen today. And he was

396
00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:38,080
Speaker 1: on Andre's team. Andre Ware and I took a picture

397
00:17:38,119 --> 00:17:40,360
Speaker 1: for Dre of me and Poorchet. So that was kind

398
00:17:40,359 --> 00:17:43,160
Speaker 1: of fun to see some Lions legends out there today.

399
00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:46,600
Speaker 1: Chris Long was out there also today. It doesn't podcast,

400
00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:50,399
Speaker 1: big podcast. Yeah, so seeing him walk around, and you know,

401
00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:52,800
Speaker 1: a great scene with all the fans and the weather

402
00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:55,960
Speaker 1: like we mentioned, and you know, when the Texans eventually

403
00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:59,080
Speaker 1: get their facility, you're gonna see similar scenes. Our facility

404
00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:01,920
Speaker 1: now is really nice to see practice, but it's only

405
00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:03,240
Speaker 1: going to get better in the future.

406
00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:04,160
Speaker 4: Yep. Definitely.

407
00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:06,440
Speaker 2: There was some national media on hand that I thought

408
00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:13,280
Speaker 2: had some interesting things to say. Matt Verdami, I don't

409
00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:16,639
Speaker 2: know if I'm saying that right. But he writes for

410
00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:20,439
Speaker 2: SI dot com and he kind of had his You know,

411
00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:22,440
Speaker 2: I have my Harris hits. He kind of had his

412
00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:26,400
Speaker 2: I don't know what you call him takeaways from practice

413
00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:30,280
Speaker 2: and he said Lion's O Lion faced a tough test.

414
00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:34,240
Speaker 2: Next stop for Jamiir Gibbs all pro. That's true, That's

415
00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:36,680
Speaker 2: gonna happen, he said Derek Burnett, the punter. I guess

416
00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:39,199
Speaker 2: apparently dB made a play the.

417
00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:41,760
Speaker 3: Crowd.

418
00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:47,080
Speaker 2: Lions seventh rounder makes his case and he is dominic

419
00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:51,760
Speaker 2: love it. Last one, Derek Stingley is worth every penny. Now,

420
00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:53,600
Speaker 2: I didn't need he didn't.

421
00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:54,879
Speaker 4: Need to say that last one for us to know

422
00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:56,480
Speaker 4: that we've told you that he is worth everything.

423
00:18:56,520 --> 00:18:58,879
Speaker 3: But he was taking risks today, No, he was.

424
00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:02,879
Speaker 2: You're absolutely right, And I think I think Sting's at

425
00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:05,639
Speaker 2: a point now where in practice I don't even I

426
00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:07,560
Speaker 2: should say I don't pay attention, but I don't pay

427
00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:10,320
Speaker 2: attention to those things because I do think he's doing

428
00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:13,200
Speaker 2: exactly what you're talking about. He's taking risk, he's trying

429
00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:14,840
Speaker 2: to see what he can, what he can do, what

430
00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:17,800
Speaker 2: he can get away with, what he shouldn't exactly, And

431
00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:20,080
Speaker 2: I think he's doing that. This is what the great

432
00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:23,399
Speaker 2: players do. It's what Daniil does, whether he's working on

433
00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:25,679
Speaker 2: different moves. He might be working on one thing for

434
00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:28,560
Speaker 2: that day. But Sting got his too. He had one

435
00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:30,720
Speaker 2: interception I guess he was close and he couldn't hang

436
00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:32,960
Speaker 2: on to it at PBu there and another one where

437
00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:36,720
Speaker 2: he saw a crosser and he broke in front. Verdi

438
00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:39,480
Speaker 2: Mai verdiame or whatever how you say his name.

439
00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:41,720
Speaker 4: Sorry, Matt. Very impressed.

440
00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:44,600
Speaker 2: And it's not as if we're not. It's just we

441
00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:47,879
Speaker 2: get to see him every day, and so he still

442
00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:50,760
Speaker 2: does things during practice where you go, what did he

443
00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:51,399
Speaker 2: just do?

444
00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:52,280
Speaker 4: My god?

445
00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:54,280
Speaker 2: And then you see it in a game. That's what's

446
00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:56,439
Speaker 2: crazy to me. Is against the best in the world,

447
00:19:57,000 --> 00:19:59,960
Speaker 2: he's even better than them. So this is a great

448
00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:03,080
Speaker 2: op to me for him against Saint Brown, against Raymond,

449
00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:06,639
Speaker 2: different kinds of receivers. But he made some plays and

450
00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:08,720
Speaker 2: he made his presence known. I thought it was interesting

451
00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:11,119
Speaker 2: that he had that thought because I saw that on

452
00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:13,920
Speaker 2: the on the bus ride back, he had gotten these

453
00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:16,720
Speaker 2: these thoughts out and so I just stumbled on him,

454
00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:19,359
Speaker 2: not because I don't follow him, and I just saw huh, okay,

455
00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:21,719
Speaker 2: they didn't see m at practice, but I thought some

456
00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:24,160
Speaker 2: interesting takeaways, especially because I didn't watch the.

457
00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:25,520
Speaker 4: Defensive side of the ball much.

458
00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:27,880
Speaker 2: I'd look over there every now and again, I'd see

459
00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:31,640
Speaker 2: them run the ball, and our guys just swallowed it up.

460
00:20:32,040 --> 00:20:34,800
Speaker 2: They swallowed up almost every run. I remember seeing Folly

461
00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:38,040
Speaker 2: one time just knifing into the backfield and you know,

462
00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:39,159
Speaker 2: taking David.

463
00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:41,200
Speaker 4: Montgomery, just wrapping him up three yards short of line

464
00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:41,760
Speaker 4: of scrimmage.

465
00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:44,760
Speaker 2: So they did that, and look, their defense was really

466
00:20:44,760 --> 00:20:47,199
Speaker 2: really good the first probably third of practice, and then

467
00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:51,000
Speaker 2: the Texans really compared to a boxing match. About third

468
00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:54,440
Speaker 2: or fourth round, the Texas started throwing some haymakers back

469
00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:56,600
Speaker 2: and started landing some haymakers, and then from that.

470
00:20:56,560 --> 00:20:58,760
Speaker 4: Point on it was a it was, you know, a

471
00:20:58,840 --> 00:20:59,960
Speaker 4: pretty pretty fair fight.

472
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:02,200
Speaker 1: There were a lot of reps. There were a lot

473
00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:05,879
Speaker 1: of reps. I thought they were done at one point. No,

474
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:08,840
Speaker 1: they came back for more. The first team. How many

475
00:21:08,840 --> 00:21:09,639
Speaker 1: reps do you think they got?

476
00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:13,560
Speaker 3: At least forty at least that's a lot. That's a lot.

477
00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:16,080
Speaker 2: There were five different than I have written down a

478
00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:18,160
Speaker 2: five different team periods.

479
00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:22,800
Speaker 1: Wow, Kyle Allen is probably gonna play a lot Saturday

480
00:21:22,840 --> 00:21:24,840
Speaker 1: for the Lions form Texan.

481
00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:26,720
Speaker 4: Number two between he and Hendon Hooker.

482
00:21:26,800 --> 00:21:28,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, Hendon Hooker is not looking as good as I

483
00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:31,240
Speaker 1: was hoping for his sake because I liked him coming out,

484
00:21:31,280 --> 00:21:35,120
Speaker 1: but it's not really working out to their liking so far.

485
00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:39,000
Speaker 1: Other name dropping Roy Lopez Saw Yeah, Saw was good.

486
00:21:39,080 --> 00:21:39,280
Speaker 3: Saw.

487
00:21:39,359 --> 00:21:41,680
Speaker 1: DJ Readers said hello to him. He's got a five

488
00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:44,399
Speaker 1: year old boy, now amazing. I saw him fathering up

489
00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:46,080
Speaker 1: the five year old boys, and Hey, look him in

490
00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:47,800
Speaker 1: the eye. You know he's given them all the good

491
00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:50,280
Speaker 1: instructions five years old. That's when you want to teach him.

492
00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:51,840
Speaker 1: You look him in the eye when you meet him.

493
00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:52,320
Speaker 3: Kind of thing.

494
00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:55,800
Speaker 1: And good for DJ doing that. So very cool to

Speaker 1: from the game Saturday? And when we look around at

501

Speaker 1: Texans opponents, the Rams, what's gonna happen with Stafford? We've

502
00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:19,119
Speaker 1: got thoughts. What about the rest of the AFC South.

503
00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:21,200
Speaker 1: You know, we have thoughts. It's all coming up next

504
00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:24,680
Speaker 1: here on Texans Radio. Back to it in Detroit? Best

505
00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:28,040
Speaker 1: Detroit song? Is it Detroit Rock City? Is it Bowie's

506
00:22:28,080 --> 00:22:31,600
Speaker 1: Panic in Detroit? Is it any motown song? We'll talk

507
00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:34,320
Speaker 1: Motown with the General at the end of the General segment,

508
00:22:34,359 --> 00:22:37,160
Speaker 1: and it's right here because we visit with John McClain,

509
00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:40,840
Speaker 1: the Hall of Famer, and we'll start with the General's

510
00:22:40,840 --> 00:22:43,240
Speaker 1: thoughts on what's going to go down Saturday following the

511
00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:45,320
Speaker 1: joint practice with the Lions and all of it.

512
00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:48,840
Speaker 5: Well, first of all, you know, Damiico Ryans and Dan

513
00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:54,360
Speaker 5: Campbell love having that joint practice this morning because they

514
00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:59,440
Speaker 5: got to see just about everything they wanted and that's

515
00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:02,480
Speaker 5: what they're most concerned about it. Let's be honest. There's

516
00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:05,480
Speaker 5: still people in the media. Excuse me if y'all are

517
00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:08,320
Speaker 5: doing this acting like they don't know who's going to

518
00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:12,840
Speaker 5: make the team. They've had these guys since the rookie

519
00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:16,800
Speaker 5: mini camp. They've seen them in meetings, they've seen him

520
00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:20,320
Speaker 5: in practice walk throughs, they've seen them in ways that

521
00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:25,399
Speaker 5: we haven't been able to in barring injuries. They know

522
00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:27,640
Speaker 5: who's going to help make the team. They just got

523
00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:31,239
Speaker 5: to decide how many numbers they want to keep at

524
00:23:31,280 --> 00:23:34,720
Speaker 5: what position. And I've been saying this for two weeks

525
00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:38,360
Speaker 5: and I still think there's some guys on this team

526
00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:41,280
Speaker 5: who can play for other teams, maybe be able to

527
00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:45,360
Speaker 5: start from other teams, specifically the Titans, who have first dubs.

528
00:23:46,280 --> 00:23:49,159
Speaker 5: So if you want to put a guy through waivers

529
00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:51,960
Speaker 5: to signing to the practice squad, which you can do

530
00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:55,520
Speaker 5: with sixteen players, you got to run the risk of

531
00:23:55,640 --> 00:23:59,200
Speaker 5: the Titans claiming them and then seeing them twice during

532
00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:02,360
Speaker 5: the season. Because they have stock boys, some talent, and

533
00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:04,960
Speaker 5: some depth. It's a great problem for them to have.

534
00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:07,679
Speaker 5: You know, yeah, I have this problem three years ago,

535
00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:10,880
Speaker 5: and now that got a problem every team which they

536
00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:14,200
Speaker 5: had this problem. So I can't wait to see how

537
00:24:14,280 --> 00:24:17,040
Speaker 5: they do that. And then as far as that last

538
00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:20,520
Speaker 5: preseason game, I always say it's for mamas and daddies

539
00:24:20,560 --> 00:24:24,080
Speaker 5: and girlfriends and wives and brothers and sisters, because the

540
00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:26,600
Speaker 5: general fans, you know, they're ready for a regular season.

541
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:31,320
Speaker 5: We're all ready for the regular season. Bring on the Rams.

542
00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:34,360
Speaker 2: Before we get to the Rams, general, we have plenty

543
00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:37,840
Speaker 2: of asking you about that. As you're projecting your fifty

544
00:24:37,880 --> 00:24:39,040
Speaker 2: three for this roster.

545
00:24:39,640 --> 00:24:40,880
Speaker 6: We've batted around.

546
00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:43,639
Speaker 2: Some of the positions that get kind of tough, and

547
00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:45,760
Speaker 2: they get tough, not because well, this guy's better than

548
00:24:45,760 --> 00:24:48,359
Speaker 2: not guy. Sometimes it's an injury somewhere else on the

549
00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:50,640
Speaker 2: team versus you know, we got to keep a guy

550
00:24:50,680 --> 00:24:53,280
Speaker 2: because he does multiple things over here. But as you

551
00:24:53,359 --> 00:24:55,640
Speaker 2: went through the process of kind of trying to figure

552
00:24:55,680 --> 00:24:57,600
Speaker 2: out what the fifty three is, and we know a

553
00:24:57,760 --> 00:25:01,119
Speaker 2: good majority of it, but it's those last final pieces

554
00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:04,199
Speaker 2: at what position did you feel like, oh, this is

555
00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:07,159
Speaker 2: tougher than I thought, Or were there a couple of

556
00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:10,119
Speaker 2: players that you kind of went back and forth about

557
00:25:10,359 --> 00:25:12,280
Speaker 2: whether this guy should make it or that guy should

558
00:25:12,280 --> 00:25:15,560
Speaker 2: make it. What's been kind of the toughest decision for

559
00:25:15,640 --> 00:25:17,200
Speaker 2: you in finishing the fifty three?

560
00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:21,840
Speaker 5: John been talking about this for weeks. You guys know it.

561
00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:25,360
Speaker 5: It's the defensive line. I counted the other day eleven

562
00:25:25,480 --> 00:25:30,440
Speaker 5: players that can play can play in the NFL. Most

563
00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:33,400
Speaker 5: of them have made plays for the Texans. You got

564
00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:38,160
Speaker 5: guys that have been injured. But if everybody were healthy

565
00:25:38,160 --> 00:25:42,040
Speaker 5: in the defensive line, I believe Nick Cassario and he

566
00:25:42,119 --> 00:25:44,119
Speaker 5: still might be able to do this. Get a couple

567
00:25:44,160 --> 00:25:47,520
Speaker 5: of low draft choices for linemen, like he was able

568
00:25:47,560 --> 00:25:50,920
Speaker 5: to trade John Mette's the third for a tight end.

569
00:25:50,920 --> 00:25:54,040
Speaker 5: Here's Briant, And we see a lot of trades being

570
00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:58,040
Speaker 5: made right now for low draft choices where teams have depth.

571
00:25:58,440 --> 00:26:05,400
Speaker 5: I think the secondary, assuming I don't know about C. J. Johnson,

572
00:26:05,560 --> 00:26:09,480
Speaker 5: Gardner Johnson, if he's gonna be able to play in

573
00:26:09,560 --> 00:26:13,359
Speaker 5: the first game when he walks around, I'm guessing he's not,

574
00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:17,200
Speaker 5: but he should be able to play soon. They got

575
00:26:17,240 --> 00:26:19,920
Speaker 5: some tough decisions to make it. The secondary, They got

576
00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:22,919
Speaker 5: tough decisions to make still a wide receiver. And I

577
00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:27,520
Speaker 5: think the offensive line, you know, as much as as

578
00:26:27,560 --> 00:26:29,439
Speaker 5: we've watched them and the guys they've run in and

579
00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:33,359
Speaker 5: out of there, that they've got some tough decisions there.

580
00:26:33,400 --> 00:26:37,800
Speaker 5: And I thought the single best thing about the Carolina game,

581
00:26:37,840 --> 00:26:40,640
Speaker 5: and there were a lot of good things Blake Fisher.

582
00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:43,879
Speaker 5: Blake Fisher had not had good camp, he had struggled

583
00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:48,800
Speaker 5: in the game, first game, he'd struggled in the joint practice.

584
00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:51,800
Speaker 5: He looked good, he looked real good. And that had

585
00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:55,359
Speaker 5: to be a relief for them because that's made offensive

586
00:26:55,400 --> 00:26:57,639
Speaker 5: tackle a tough cut. So I think they're going to

587
00:26:57,680 --> 00:27:01,640
Speaker 5: be difficult decisions in the offensive line is general.

588
00:27:01,840 --> 00:27:05,320
Speaker 1: I'm gonna make you coach General John McClain here, and

589
00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:08,920
Speaker 1: you decide, well maybe GM general, maybe all of it,

590
00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:13,760
Speaker 1: but you decide who the second and third running backs

591
00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:16,720
Speaker 1: should be on this team and in what order. Presuming

592
00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:20,800
Speaker 1: that Joe Mixon is on the NFI pup something, he's

593
00:27:20,800 --> 00:27:23,760
Speaker 1: not available week one, week two, week three, whatever, and

594
00:27:23,840 --> 00:27:27,720
Speaker 1: I hope he is, but assuming he's not, I've got

595
00:27:27,760 --> 00:27:30,080
Speaker 1: to have Chubb number one. But who's two and three?

596
00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:33,800
Speaker 1: And what order would you put these backs in after

597
00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:34,880
Speaker 1: Nick Chubb?

598
00:27:35,800 --> 00:27:38,000
Speaker 5: If Danian Bears is healthy and he hadn't been healthy

599
00:27:38,040 --> 00:27:42,560
Speaker 5: a lot this year, last year, it's last year of

600
00:27:42,600 --> 00:27:46,280
Speaker 5: his contract, I think he fits this running scheme that

601
00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:52,359
Speaker 5: Nick Scaly had Scally Nick Cayley is ideally what he marks,

602
00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:56,520
Speaker 5: you know, what he marks is a lot dargombwally because

603
00:27:56,640 --> 00:28:00,359
Speaker 5: special teams, because of experience. You know, he's been around

604
00:28:00,359 --> 00:28:03,960
Speaker 5: since two thousand and seventeen. In the NFL second tour

605
00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:06,760
Speaker 5: of the Texans. Coaches love him, and those guys at

606
00:28:06,800 --> 00:28:09,080
Speaker 5: the hend got to be able to play it now.

607
00:28:09,119 --> 00:28:11,560
Speaker 5: I think some of those young guys, the one I

608
00:28:11,680 --> 00:28:14,560
Speaker 5: really want to see get the ball is British Brooks

609
00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:19,480
Speaker 5: and but I'm guessing one, maybe two running backs will

610
00:28:19,600 --> 00:28:22,600
Speaker 5: end up on the practice squad. But the way Chub

611
00:28:23,640 --> 00:28:28,200
Speaker 5: ran so physically, and that's the way the offensive blocked,

612
00:28:28,680 --> 00:28:31,520
Speaker 5: offensive line block, that's that had to be the most

613
00:28:31,600 --> 00:28:38,160
Speaker 5: encouraging thing about the game against Carolina and uh and

614
00:28:38,560 --> 00:28:40,840
Speaker 5: Chubb looked like he didn't have a long run, but

615
00:28:40,880 --> 00:28:43,960
Speaker 5: he averaged five point five yards five yards of carry.

616
00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:47,719
Speaker 5: His long run was nine Woody Marx. It wasn't catching

617
00:28:47,720 --> 00:28:50,600
Speaker 5: the ball. We know we can do that. Woody mars

618
00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:53,280
Speaker 5: looked good as well. But I think it'll be Chubb

619
00:28:54,120 --> 00:28:58,080
Speaker 5: Peers marks and a gumbule one position.

620
00:28:58,240 --> 00:29:01,720
Speaker 2: John That became really interest interesting, especially the John Metchi trade.

621
00:29:01,880 --> 00:29:06,320
Speaker 2: Was tight end Dalton Schultz Kate Stover felt like they

622
00:29:06,680 --> 00:29:08,320
Speaker 2: were gonna make the team.

623
00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:09,960
Speaker 6: Those were going to be two guys for sure.

624
00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:14,160
Speaker 2: Then you get Dalton Brevit, Jordan Hurt, Dalton Key gets

625
00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:15,600
Speaker 2: Hurt Dad back to back days they're out.

626
00:29:15,600 --> 00:29:20,120
Speaker 6: So no, you've got those two guys, and you traded

627
00:29:20,160 --> 00:29:21,000
Speaker 6: for Harrison Bryant.

628
00:29:21,200 --> 00:29:23,160
Speaker 2: The thought is you don't trade for somebody and not

629
00:29:23,240 --> 00:29:25,000
Speaker 2: putt him on the fifty three. That would seem kind

630
00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:28,720
Speaker 2: of not right in some ways. So okay, it is

631
00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:31,800
Speaker 2: Harrison Briant the third tight end. How many tight ends

632
00:29:32,120 --> 00:29:35,680
Speaker 2: do you think they keep? And could they go with

633
00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:38,240
Speaker 2: as few as three, could they go with as much

634
00:29:38,280 --> 00:29:38,760
Speaker 2: as five?

635
00:29:38,800 --> 00:29:40,160
Speaker 6: I guess maybe it depends on how you look at

636
00:29:40,200 --> 00:29:40,880
Speaker 6: Yakam Johnson.

637
00:29:41,040 --> 00:29:43,080
Speaker 2: But how do you break down the tight ends and

638
00:29:43,520 --> 00:29:47,520
Speaker 2: what they might do with the tight ends given what

639
00:29:47,600 --> 00:29:48,360
Speaker 2: they've got right now?

640
00:29:48,400 --> 00:29:50,200
Speaker 6: After the MATCHI trade bring in Harrison.

641
00:29:49,880 --> 00:29:54,680
Speaker 5: Brant Ersmaneth let him in catches and he's a veteran,

642
00:29:54,720 --> 00:29:57,680
Speaker 5: He's proved he can catch. Maybe he ends up back

643
00:29:57,720 --> 00:30:01,680
Speaker 5: on the practice squad. Brian Is Brian a good blocker?

644
00:30:01,720 --> 00:30:04,240
Speaker 5: I don't know, he's bounced around the NFL. I'm assuming

645
00:30:04,360 --> 00:30:09,360
Speaker 5: can block. They need a guy making blockers MS kind

646
00:30:09,360 --> 00:30:13,160
Speaker 5: of like Brevian Jordan. But I think I think Brian

647
00:30:13,200 --> 00:30:16,280
Speaker 5: will be on the team and Jordan, I mean earth

648
00:30:16,320 --> 00:30:18,560
Speaker 5: Smith Junior will be on the practice squad again.

649
00:30:19,520 --> 00:30:23,040
Speaker 1: General, after looking at the Detroit Lions practice, this team

650
00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:26,160
Speaker 1: is certainly a contender. That's no surprise to anybody. But

651
00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:29,720
Speaker 1: they have to replace the coordinators. As we know, both

652
00:30:29,760 --> 00:30:33,520
Speaker 1: coordinators became head coaches in this league. So what are

653
00:30:33,520 --> 00:30:38,080
Speaker 1: your thoughts on Dan Campbell and this version of the

654
00:30:38,160 --> 00:30:41,320
Speaker 1: Lions what they might be because I see playmakers all

655
00:30:41,320 --> 00:30:43,440
Speaker 1: over the field. It's going to be really fun to

656
00:30:43,480 --> 00:30:45,600
Speaker 1: watch them play if you're a Lions fan. And I'm

657
00:30:45,640 --> 00:30:47,440
Speaker 1: glad they're in the NFC, and it was great to

658
00:30:47,440 --> 00:30:49,479
Speaker 1: see them go up against the Texans. But what are

659
00:30:49,520 --> 00:30:52,440
Speaker 1: your expectations for them in twenty twenty five?

660
00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:55,280
Speaker 5: First thing I think about when I think about the Lions.

661
00:30:56,120 --> 00:30:59,400
Speaker 5: Texans should have beaten them last year. Here man, man,

662
00:30:59,480 --> 00:31:03,760
Speaker 5: they should have five interceptions. But I'm thinking the Lions

663
00:31:03,840 --> 00:31:07,680
Speaker 5: goes Super Bowl for two for three reasons. They're long

664
00:31:07,800 --> 00:31:12,400
Speaker 5: suffering fans have not had a championship since the early

665
00:31:12,640 --> 00:31:17,240
Speaker 5: or mid fifties. And Dan Campbell. I like Dan Campbell,

666
00:31:17,280 --> 00:31:19,040
Speaker 5: even though he's an aggy, he's a tags and I

667
00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:23,760
Speaker 5: like his style, like his personality, like everything about him.

668
00:31:24,080 --> 00:31:26,040
Speaker 5: But they got to worry about what the Eagles worried

669
00:31:26,040 --> 00:31:30,760
Speaker 5: about when the Eagles lost Shane Staking and Jonathan Gannon,

670
00:31:31,240 --> 00:31:36,160
Speaker 5: the head coaches of the Colts and the Cardinals, and

671
00:31:36,200 --> 00:31:38,600
Speaker 5: then it didn't work out with the replacements that fired

672
00:31:38,680 --> 00:31:43,440
Speaker 5: him after one year, brought in replacements last year in

673
00:31:43,560 --> 00:31:51,360
Speaker 5: Vic Vangio and Collen Moore and everything went great. So

674
00:31:51,440 --> 00:31:54,680
Speaker 5: have they done like, hey, have they been able to

675
00:31:54,680 --> 00:31:59,200
Speaker 5: replace Aaron Glehn and Ben Johnson with a Vic Fangio

676
00:32:00,200 --> 00:32:03,280
Speaker 5: an Kellen Moore type or are they going back to the

677
00:32:03,280 --> 00:32:06,760
Speaker 5: ones that got fired? That is the whole key Campbell

678
00:32:06,760 --> 00:32:10,320
Speaker 5: done called plays. So that's it. They definitely got talent,

679
00:32:10,800 --> 00:32:15,480
Speaker 5: and I hope they win getting signed by Baltimore Buffalo,

680
00:32:15,560 --> 00:32:18,360
Speaker 5: probably Buffalo because their fan base too.

681
00:32:20,160 --> 00:32:21,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think I want Buffalo to win that one too.

682
00:32:22,040 --> 00:32:24,880
Speaker 2: But you know, uh, Lamar Jackson got stepped on in

683
00:32:24,920 --> 00:32:25,800
Speaker 2: practice the other day.

684
00:32:25,880 --> 00:32:28,400
Speaker 6: Is put a store. I'd like for that foot to.

685
00:32:28,320 --> 00:32:30,080
Speaker 2: Be sore for a long time, but I know it's

686
00:32:30,080 --> 00:32:31,520
Speaker 2: something gonna be a short mind.

687
00:32:33,680 --> 00:32:35,840
Speaker 6: It's amazing with all that. When he was coming out

688
00:32:35,880 --> 00:32:37,880
Speaker 6: of the draft. Oh, he's gonna get hit all the time.

689
00:32:38,280 --> 00:32:40,600
Speaker 6: He's gonna you know, running quarterback can't do it. He

690
00:32:40,680 --> 00:32:43,320
Speaker 6: never takes hits. That's part of the problem. He never

691
00:32:43,360 --> 00:32:43,800
Speaker 6: takes hits.

692
00:32:43,800 --> 00:32:45,720
Speaker 2: He always get runs past people or gets out of

693
00:32:45,760 --> 00:32:47,880
Speaker 2: bounds before he takes the hits.

694
00:32:47,960 --> 00:32:48,240
Speaker 3: General.

695
00:32:48,240 --> 00:32:49,160
Speaker 6: Week one's gonna be here.

696
00:32:49,240 --> 00:32:51,320
Speaker 2: You mentioned the La Rams at some point getting ready

697
00:32:51,360 --> 00:32:54,880
Speaker 2: for Week one it looks like, even though I'm trying

698
00:32:54,880 --> 00:32:59,200
Speaker 2: to manifest it to happen, Matt Stafford's gonna play against

699
00:32:59,280 --> 00:33:01,360
Speaker 2: the LA Ram or against the Houston Texans.

700
00:33:01,360 --> 00:33:02,440
Speaker 6: For the LA Rams.

701
00:33:02,520 --> 00:33:05,240
Speaker 2: That changes the calculus obviously for the team that Texans

702
00:33:05,280 --> 00:33:07,800
Speaker 2: are about to face, but it's a Rams team that

703
00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:11,920
Speaker 2: typically struggles at the beginning of the year, and Matt Stafford,

704
00:33:12,040 --> 00:33:14,080
Speaker 2: like all the other years, will not have taken a

705
00:33:14,120 --> 00:33:17,520
Speaker 2: preseason snap and will be ready hopefully for Week one

706
00:33:17,960 --> 00:33:19,360
Speaker 2: to do what he's done in the past few years

707
00:33:19,480 --> 00:33:20,160
Speaker 2: is not little.

708
00:33:19,920 --> 00:33:22,600
Speaker 6: Good early and then and then be really good at

709
00:33:22,640 --> 00:33:23,280
Speaker 6: the end of the year.

710
00:33:23,520 --> 00:33:27,600
Speaker 2: Your thoughts about Week one? Stafford being back going out

711
00:33:27,640 --> 00:33:30,520
Speaker 2: to LA. Texans have not won a regular season game

712
00:33:30,600 --> 00:33:32,520
Speaker 2: in LA since twenty nineteen when.

713
00:33:32,400 --> 00:33:34,520
Speaker 6: He beat the Chargers. Your thoughts about week one.

714
00:33:35,200 --> 00:33:38,840
Speaker 5: He's undergoing so much treatment. He didn't make the trip

715
00:33:38,880 --> 00:33:43,000
Speaker 5: for the last preseason game, and he's been very durable.

716
00:33:43,120 --> 00:33:46,720
Speaker 5: When he's missed time, it's been a serious injury. He's tough.

717
00:33:47,160 --> 00:33:50,440
Speaker 5: He'll be in the lineup, but boy, he hadn't played

718
00:33:50,480 --> 00:33:54,840
Speaker 5: since the cold semi final close loss at Philadelphia last

719
00:33:54,920 --> 00:33:58,920
Speaker 5: year where the Rams almost won that game, and I

720
00:33:58,960 --> 00:34:04,000
Speaker 5: don't see quarterback who relies on pinpoint passing so much

721
00:34:04,120 --> 00:34:08,160
Speaker 5: can be what he ordinarily is when he's missed so

722
00:34:08,360 --> 00:34:11,879
Speaker 5: much time. Now, not taking his snap's not a big deal.

723
00:34:11,920 --> 00:34:15,879
Speaker 5: Aaron Rodgers is not. Josh Allen is not. First time

724
00:34:15,960 --> 00:34:19,799
Speaker 5: Josh Allen's never taken a snap in preseason, but he

725
00:34:19,880 --> 00:34:23,640
Speaker 5: hasn't gotten the practice time because of his back. And

726
00:34:23,719 --> 00:34:25,920
Speaker 5: all of us have had back issues and we know

727
00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:29,239
Speaker 5: what that entails. And so they're going to have to

728
00:34:29,320 --> 00:34:32,120
Speaker 5: run the ball really well, and they're going up against

729
00:34:32,160 --> 00:34:35,560
Speaker 5: what should be a great defense. So I don't think

730
00:34:35,560 --> 00:34:37,600
Speaker 5: that game's going to be I scoring. I think we're

731
00:34:37,600 --> 00:34:42,520
Speaker 5: going to see a big time defensive struggle at SOFI Stadium.

732
00:34:42,680 --> 00:34:46,440
Speaker 5: And I don't see Matthew Stafford throwing twenty five or

733
00:34:46,440 --> 00:34:47,959
Speaker 5: thirty passes, that's for sure.

734
00:34:48,719 --> 00:34:49,080
Speaker 3: General.

735
00:34:49,200 --> 00:34:52,160
Speaker 1: Remember when I made you coach and GM of the Texans, Well,

736
00:34:52,160 --> 00:34:54,560
Speaker 1: now I'm going to remove that title, and can you

737
00:34:54,600 --> 00:34:58,200
Speaker 1: make me owner? I can't do that, I'm sorry, but

738
00:34:58,360 --> 00:35:01,720
Speaker 1: I can make you coach and GI for fictional sports

739
00:35:01,719 --> 00:35:05,359
Speaker 1: talk purposes of the Jacksonville Jaguars. And let's talk about

740
00:35:05,400 --> 00:35:07,719
Speaker 1: this because we've been batting this one around a bit

741
00:35:07,800 --> 00:35:10,440
Speaker 1: this week with Travis Hunter having a bit of an

742
00:35:10,440 --> 00:35:12,799
Speaker 1: injury issue. He won't play in the final preseason game,

743
00:35:12,960 --> 00:35:14,960
Speaker 1: but he probably wasn't going to do that anyway, but

744
00:35:15,000 --> 00:35:16,959
Speaker 1: he missed the last one and he would have played

745
00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:20,359
Speaker 1: in that one. So with this injury, does it make

746
00:35:20,400 --> 00:35:22,279
Speaker 1: you sort of rethink how much you might want to

747
00:35:22,360 --> 00:35:24,759
Speaker 1: use him on both sides of the ball. Does it

748
00:35:24,840 --> 00:35:27,840
Speaker 1: change your thinking at all now that he's been not

749
00:35:28,040 --> 00:35:31,560
Speaker 1: seriously hurt, but something happened, does it change your thinking?

750
00:35:32,280 --> 00:35:35,719
Speaker 5: You know, they've been thinking about that since before they

751
00:35:35,840 --> 00:35:39,320
Speaker 5: drafted him. He wants to play two ways. He's a receiver.

752
00:35:40,080 --> 00:35:43,480
Speaker 5: He'd probably get in some sub packages, but boy, they

753
00:35:43,560 --> 00:35:45,919
Speaker 5: gotta be careful. If he gets hurt on defense, they're

754
00:35:45,920 --> 00:35:49,200
Speaker 5: gonna look like it and they could have the makings

755
00:35:49,239 --> 00:35:54,239
Speaker 5: of a really good offense passing game. If Liam Coin,

756
00:35:54,280 --> 00:35:58,520
Speaker 5: their new coach, connects with Trevor Lawrence like he's connected

757
00:35:58,520 --> 00:36:01,520
Speaker 5: with other quarterbacks going back to college with Will Levis

758
00:36:02,120 --> 00:36:06,359
Speaker 5: and but if Hunter is going to do both, Yeah,

759
00:36:06,360 --> 00:36:09,359
Speaker 5: this is not the Big twelve. There's only a matter

760
00:36:09,400 --> 00:36:12,840
Speaker 5: of time before he gets hurt. Stronger guys get hurt.

761
00:36:13,200 --> 00:36:15,279
Speaker 5: He's out of field. Players always say, well, at this

762
00:36:15,360 --> 00:36:18,440
Speaker 5: time of the year, meaning the second half, everybody's hurt. Well,

763
00:36:18,440 --> 00:36:20,920
Speaker 5: he's gonna be hurt twice as much because he's on

764
00:36:20,960 --> 00:36:23,799
Speaker 5: the field twice as long. So I'll guarantee you they're

765
00:36:23,800 --> 00:36:27,000
Speaker 5: not just having second thoughts, they're having third thoughts. And

766
00:36:27,200 --> 00:36:31,160
Speaker 5: uh maybe they'll play him in obvious passing situations and

767
00:36:31,520 --> 00:36:34,360
Speaker 5: and uh boy, they've got to be careful till he

768
00:36:34,400 --> 00:36:38,560
Speaker 5: gets wide receiver down to a t because they could

769
00:36:38,640 --> 00:36:40,719
Speaker 5: have two great wide receivers.

770
00:36:41,640 --> 00:36:44,640
Speaker 2: General, I can't remember when this news broke. It's always

771
00:36:44,680 --> 00:36:49,480
Speaker 2: good to talk about this. Innneapolis Colts have named Daniel

772
00:36:49,600 --> 00:36:53,680
Speaker 2: Jones the starting quarterback for the foreseeable future, and it

773
00:36:53,719 --> 00:36:57,360
Speaker 2: sounds like it's not just a week one situation. So

774
00:36:58,160 --> 00:36:59,759
Speaker 2: I asked Mark this all time, give me your gut,

775
00:36:59,800 --> 00:37:03,320
Speaker 2: re give me the general's gut reaction to the Colts

776
00:37:03,440 --> 00:37:05,840
Speaker 2: naming Daniel Jones their starting quarterback.

777
00:37:05,920 --> 00:37:09,360
Speaker 1: But before he answer that, Johnny add today's headline onto

778
00:37:09,400 --> 00:37:12,600
Speaker 1: that today's headline that Richardson.

779
00:37:12,120 --> 00:37:14,120
Speaker 3: Is not going to play in the last preseason game.

780
00:37:14,840 --> 00:37:17,440
Speaker 6: Right, What the hell, okay, General, handle all that.

781
00:37:17,560 --> 00:37:20,239
Speaker 2: Daniel Jones is the starter and Anthony Richardson is so

782
00:37:20,480 --> 00:37:21,439
Speaker 2: valuable to them.

783
00:37:21,719 --> 00:37:23,600
Speaker 6: He won't play in the third preseason game.

784
00:37:24,080 --> 00:37:26,520
Speaker 5: I think that shows they might be trying to trade

785
00:37:26,600 --> 00:37:29,520
Speaker 5: him or he's hurt. And if he ends up going

786
00:37:29,600 --> 00:37:33,480
Speaker 5: to a quarterback guru, say he went to Kansas City

787
00:37:33,480 --> 00:37:36,440
Speaker 5: and played behind my moms for Andy Reid two or

788
00:37:36,480 --> 00:37:39,840
Speaker 5: three years. He's still younger than like six or seven

789
00:37:39,960 --> 00:37:44,400
Speaker 5: quarterbacks that are starters in the NFL and who have

790
00:37:44,480 --> 00:37:47,439
Speaker 5: come in the last two years. And I don't think

791
00:37:47,440 --> 00:37:50,120
Speaker 5: he's done. He just he was playing too soon. Only

792
00:37:50,200 --> 00:37:53,520
Speaker 5: thirteen starts at Florida. He was inaccurate at Florida. He's

793
00:37:53,520 --> 00:37:56,960
Speaker 5: been inaccurate in the NFL by far, the most inaccurate

794
00:37:57,040 --> 00:38:00,439
Speaker 5: last year. But you knew which regular started the second

795
00:38:00,520 --> 00:38:04,960
Speaker 5: lowest quarterback writing Daniel Jones, and neither one of them

796
00:38:05,360 --> 00:38:08,480
Speaker 5: was eighty and Jones's bounced around, he's been hurt. That

797
00:38:08,600 --> 00:38:11,640
Speaker 5: means the odds are their backup quarterback, no matter who

798
00:38:11,680 --> 00:38:13,279
Speaker 5: it is, is going to have to play some And

799
00:38:13,320 --> 00:38:17,560
Speaker 5: if you look at Jones's record, it's terrible and he's

800
00:38:17,600 --> 00:38:22,840
Speaker 5: had one good year winning and I think they'll be

801
00:38:22,880 --> 00:38:26,000
Speaker 5: in the running for one of the quarterbacks next year

802
00:38:26,080 --> 00:38:28,600
Speaker 5: because they've blown it. And Anthony Richardson will go down

803
00:38:29,040 --> 00:38:31,080
Speaker 5: as one of the biggest bus in history. But I

804
00:38:31,080 --> 00:38:34,239
Speaker 5: don't think we've seen the last of him, because somebody

805
00:38:34,280 --> 00:38:38,400
Speaker 5: is gonna like his arm, his size, his speed, and

806
00:38:38,440 --> 00:38:40,600
Speaker 5: they're gonna bring him in and they're gonna sit with

807
00:38:40,600 --> 00:38:42,840
Speaker 5: what you watch and learn and we'll see where it goes.

808
00:38:43,360 --> 00:38:48,360
Speaker 1: General, just curious NFL documentaries just bigger than ever and

809
00:38:48,560 --> 00:38:50,799
Speaker 1: Chiefs Kingdom. I was watching some of this and it's

810
00:38:50,840 --> 00:38:53,640
Speaker 1: just so satisfying to watch the inner workings of their

811
00:38:53,680 --> 00:38:57,399
Speaker 1: Super Bowl meltdown. I mean, you can't imagine a more

812
00:38:57,440 --> 00:39:00,799
Speaker 1: satisfying thing to watch other than the Texans them being

813
00:39:00,840 --> 00:39:03,120
Speaker 1: able to do it to the Chiefs. But also the

814
00:39:03,200 --> 00:39:07,320
Speaker 1: Cowboys documentary or the Jerry Jones one is out on Netflix.

815
00:39:07,560 --> 00:39:10,320
Speaker 1: Any thoughts on any of these? Have you watched any lately?

816
00:39:10,360 --> 00:39:13,399
Speaker 1: What are you curious about? And one more thing, which

817
00:39:13,440 --> 00:39:16,239
Speaker 1: one do you want to see be made that has

818
00:39:16,360 --> 00:39:17,200
Speaker 1: not been made?

819
00:39:17,239 --> 00:39:22,520
Speaker 5: Perhaps well considering I've been working on a documentary for

820
00:39:22,560 --> 00:39:25,680
Speaker 5: over a year and paying close attention to that, and

821
00:39:25,719 --> 00:39:29,040
Speaker 5: I love documentaries I always have. I think that the

822
00:39:29,120 --> 00:39:31,800
Speaker 5: Jerry Jones won because he gave the UMP such access

823
00:39:32,400 --> 00:39:36,719
Speaker 5: going back to twenty twenty three, and because He's such

824
00:39:36,719 --> 00:39:40,280
Speaker 5: a fascinating character, maybe the most fascinating in the history

825
00:39:40,320 --> 00:39:44,920
Speaker 5: of sports. And the Chiefs is fine, but my homes

826
00:39:45,040 --> 00:39:48,200
Speaker 5: is a producer, you know. It's basically made by the

827
00:39:48,280 --> 00:39:51,480
Speaker 5: Chiefs for ESPN, and I like it. I like seeing

828
00:39:51,520 --> 00:39:55,200
Speaker 5: things behind the scenes, and because that's why I watch

829
00:39:55,239 --> 00:39:58,120
Speaker 5: all the hard Knocks that takes me places I never

830
00:39:58,160 --> 00:40:00,680
Speaker 5: get to go with the Texans and or when I

831
00:40:00,719 --> 00:40:04,320
Speaker 5: covered the Oilers, and I like anything I haven't seen before.

832
00:40:04,360 --> 00:40:09,400
Speaker 5: And I can't get enough of sports documentaries, and and

833
00:40:09,480 --> 00:40:13,000
Speaker 5: I hope, I hope they keep making them. The Cowboys

834
00:40:13,000 --> 00:40:15,680
Speaker 5: are supposed to be better than the Last Dance, the

835
00:40:15,760 --> 00:40:18,719
Speaker 5: last Dance, which was of course Michael Jordan. That's about

836
00:40:18,760 --> 00:40:21,960
Speaker 5: as good as it gets during the pandemic and always.

837
00:40:22,040 --> 00:40:26,200
Speaker 5: I also liked the Captain with Derek Jeter, but uh,

838
00:40:26,360 --> 00:40:29,919
Speaker 5: those are I can't use the term that was used

839
00:40:29,920 --> 00:40:34,359
Speaker 5: about a description today by a guy on what that

840
00:40:34,640 --> 00:40:39,120
Speaker 5: was for Jerry Jones. And but I allow you when

841
00:40:39,160 --> 00:40:42,759
Speaker 5: there's when he have some negativity in there, not just

842
00:40:43,160 --> 00:40:46,239
Speaker 5: all positive and wines and wine and roses and the

843
00:40:46,320 --> 00:40:51,880
Speaker 5: Cowboys fascinating watching the relationship between Jerry Jones and Jimmy

844
00:40:51,960 --> 00:40:54,520
Speaker 5: Johnson and people still have a hard time figuring out

845
00:40:55,000 --> 00:40:58,000
Speaker 5: who who pulled off the herschel Walker trade. Well, Jimmy did.

846
00:40:58,040 --> 00:41:02,320
Speaker 5: He had in his contract. He had total control of personnel.

847
00:41:02,400 --> 00:41:05,040
Speaker 5: When we went over to interview him and Key Largo

848
00:41:05,160 --> 00:41:07,560
Speaker 5: for the documentary I'm working on, he took us all

849
00:41:07,600 --> 00:41:11,120
Speaker 5: the way through it, from start to finish. So Jimmy

850
00:41:11,239 --> 00:41:14,080
Speaker 5: Johnson made that trade. Jerry Jones approved it. Of course

851
00:41:14,480 --> 00:41:17,080
Speaker 5: turned out to be the greatest in history. But I

852
00:41:17,120 --> 00:41:19,799
Speaker 5: can't get enough. I can't get enough of them. I

853
00:41:19,960 --> 00:41:23,680
Speaker 5: just watched one o' brady, Tom Brady and Burningham City,

854
00:41:24,200 --> 00:41:27,760
Speaker 5: his soccer team that he has in England. Five parts.

855
00:41:27,800 --> 00:41:30,920
Speaker 5: It was fascinating watching him lose for a change.

856
00:41:31,640 --> 00:41:32,440
Speaker 6: Wait, I go one more.

857
00:41:33,360 --> 00:41:33,799
Speaker 3: I got one.

858
00:41:34,120 --> 00:41:36,600
Speaker 2: Well, I don't let you go. Mark, just real fast.

859
00:41:36,920 --> 00:41:40,880
Speaker 2: The Cowboys documentary is fantastic. It is not the last dance,

860
00:41:41,480 --> 00:41:44,120
Speaker 2: but it is fantastic. And I didn't think I would

861
00:41:44,200 --> 00:41:46,680
Speaker 2: ever say that. I watched it from beginning to end.

862
00:41:46,840 --> 00:41:51,800
Speaker 2: It is fantastic. I recommend it to everybody.

863
00:41:50,440 --> 00:41:53,800
Speaker 5: That last time Cowboys and fantastic been used in the same.

864
00:41:53,640 --> 00:41:57,480
Speaker 6: Since I know, I can't believe I said it.

865
00:41:57,680 --> 00:42:01,359
Speaker 1: One more quick, one ranked the music. Okay, we're here

866
00:42:01,400 --> 00:42:05,400
Speaker 1: in Motown. Detroit is the MotorCity. It's Motown, and we

867
00:42:05,480 --> 00:42:08,239
Speaker 1: all know what that was to music. It was so

868
00:42:08,400 --> 00:42:13,560
Speaker 1: much everything. All it influenced. Let's go that Seattle grunge,

869
00:42:14,000 --> 00:42:18,080
Speaker 1: San Francisco with the Grateful Dead, Jefferson Airplane, all that stuff.

870
00:42:18,480 --> 00:42:22,920
Speaker 1: Let's go Philadelphia seventy soul because that was so strong

871
00:42:23,360 --> 00:42:25,920
Speaker 1: with that are Yeah, I don't want to go Nashville

872
00:42:25,960 --> 00:42:28,640
Speaker 1: because it's too broad. It's too broad. It's all of

873
00:42:28,680 --> 00:42:31,120
Speaker 1: country music. It gets credit for that. Why don't we

874
00:42:31,160 --> 00:42:32,440
Speaker 1: go Memphis Blues?

875
00:42:32,800 --> 00:42:38,120
Speaker 5: Nothing replaces Motown? Okay, you think about Motown's influence, Barry

876
00:42:38,200 --> 00:42:41,400
Speaker 5: Gordy going back to the fifties and all the things

877
00:42:41,440 --> 00:42:45,920
Speaker 5: that they did, opportunities they gave young people up there,

878
00:42:46,520 --> 00:42:52,200
Speaker 5: and things that they did for black musicians, singers, groups,

879
00:42:52,640 --> 00:42:58,080
Speaker 5: the musicians. And nothing replaces Motown. And the second two

880
00:42:58,200 --> 00:43:02,440
Speaker 5: things I like coming out of Detroit besides Motown, mister

881
00:43:02,520 --> 00:43:06,000
Speaker 5: Hockey Gordia, so I covered here with the original Houston

882
00:43:06,000 --> 00:43:08,880
Speaker 5: Eros when I first came to the Chronicle of seventy six,

883
00:43:10,280 --> 00:43:13,840
Speaker 5: and the MotorCity bad Boys because a guy covered in Waco,

884
00:43:14,200 --> 00:43:18,480
Speaker 5: Vinnie Johnson the microwave at mclinnon Junior College before he

885
00:43:18,520 --> 00:43:22,000
Speaker 5: went to Baylor and then the Pistons. And there's been

886
00:43:22,040 --> 00:43:25,799
Speaker 5: a great documentary about the Motor City bad Boys which

887
00:43:25,840 --> 00:43:28,120
Speaker 5: I saw years ago and it was fantastic.

888
00:43:28,440 --> 00:43:31,200
Speaker 3: Man Joe Dumar is from McNee state. How about that?

889
00:43:31,880 --> 00:43:32,319
Speaker 3: Very good?

890
00:43:32,360 --> 00:43:34,279
Speaker 1: All right, General, thanks so much for being with us.

891
00:43:34,880 --> 00:43:37,360

898

Speaker 1: in segment one. There was a lot of work, a

899
00:44:02,760 --> 00:44:06,239
Speaker 1: lot of reps. Indeed, between the Honolulu Blue and the

900
00:44:06,440 --> 00:44:09,440
Speaker 1: h Town Blue, Texans were wearing white uniforms today, but

901
00:44:09,440 --> 00:44:12,120
Speaker 1: it sounds better to say it that way. And we'll

Speaker 1: have a game Saturday twelve noon. Can't wait for that

Speaker 2: ninety five degrees.

913
00:44:40,080 --> 00:44:42,239
Speaker 7: I didn't feel pretty good. No, I felt real good.

914
00:44:42,239 --> 00:44:45,279
Speaker 8: I don't even really like I sweated, but like this time,

915
00:44:45,360 --> 00:44:48,480
Speaker 8: this sweay, I feel different, Like it's like it ain't

916
00:44:48,600 --> 00:44:51,279
Speaker 8: like you drenched. You sweating, but you ain't drinch, you

917
00:44:51,320 --> 00:44:52,520
Speaker 8: know what I'm saying. So it was good to get

918
00:44:52,560 --> 00:44:53,359
Speaker 8: out here and get some work.

919
00:44:53,680 --> 00:44:55,520
Speaker 2: How good was the work that you guys, You guys

920
00:44:55,560 --> 00:44:58,960
Speaker 2: got against offense that's explosive one, but two they've been

921
00:44:58,960 --> 00:45:00,040
Speaker 2: together for a while.

922
00:44:59,800 --> 00:45:03,040
Speaker 8: Too, really good sharp offense with a lot of playmakers,

923
00:45:03,600 --> 00:45:05,920
Speaker 8: great quarterback, great running back. So it was good to

924
00:45:05,920 --> 00:45:08,359
Speaker 8: go against them and just you know, sharping our tour today.

925
00:45:08,640 --> 00:45:11,200
Speaker 2: Where are you guys defensively? Where you feel like you are?

926
00:45:11,280 --> 00:45:12,800
Speaker 2: You guys feel like you're rounding in the shape. You

927
00:45:12,800 --> 00:45:14,480
Speaker 2: feel like, you know, hey, we need a little.

928
00:45:14,280 --> 00:45:14,680
Speaker 3: Bit more time.

929
00:45:14,719 --> 00:45:16,720
Speaker 7: I kind of you feel like this group is coming together.

930
00:45:17,120 --> 00:45:17,839
Speaker 3: I felt real good.

931
00:45:17,880 --> 00:45:20,839
