1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,600 Speaker 1: What's up? Everybody. Welcome into a Monday edition of Texas 2 00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:09,120 Speaker 1: All Access New Week And oh yeah, say it with me. 3 00:00:09,600 --> 00:00:14,440 Speaker 1: It is game week, yes, and we don't have to 4 00:00:14,440 --> 00:00:16,880 Speaker 1: wait all the way till Sunday to get it. Saturday 5 00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:20,720 Speaker 1: night preseason game number one. I did the math on 6 00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:23,799 Speaker 1: this earlier today, and I am your host, John Harris, 7 00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:27,440 Speaker 1: Football and a silent reporter. The last time the Texas 8 00:00:27,480 --> 00:00:32,599 Speaker 1: played a preseason game was August twenty ninth of twenty nineteen. 9 00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:40,519 Speaker 1: It will be seven hundred nineteen days since the Texas 10 00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:44,199 Speaker 1: played a preseason game. Now, look, I understand preseason. I 11 00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:50,680 Speaker 1: get it. Seven hundred nineteen days since a preseason game. Now, 12 00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:53,960 Speaker 1: there was a season in there in twenty twenty. It's 13 00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:56,160 Speaker 1: one that a lot of people would like to forget 14 00:00:56,960 --> 00:01:02,080 Speaker 1: with some just guta hunch games along the way, a 15 00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:07,959 Speaker 1: lot of things happened, whatever, But seven hundred nineteen days 16 00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:12,240 Speaker 1: since Week four of the preseason in twenty nineteen, Week 17 00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:18,560 Speaker 1: one of the preseason in twenty twenty one, my goodness, 18 00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:24,000 Speaker 1: that is a long time, to say the least. All right, 19 00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:26,120 Speaker 1: we have got a lot for you on this show. 20 00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:29,880 Speaker 1: We're gonna jump right off the bat and hits you 21 00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:34,360 Speaker 1: with some heavy hitters and start with the GM of 22 00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:36,959 Speaker 1: your Houston Texans, who Mark and I have a chance 23 00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:41,119 Speaker 1: to catch up with and get his thoughts. Initially of 24 00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:45,520 Speaker 1: the scrimmage on Saturday night, it was great, it was awesome. 25 00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:49,000 Speaker 1: You know, ran fifty plays kind of offensively, defensively, had 26 00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:50,600 Speaker 1: another whatever it was, ten or fifteen plays in the 27 00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:53,760 Speaker 1: kicking game. So I would say there's definitely some things 28 00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:55,520 Speaker 1: that we can learn from that we can do better. 29 00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:58,160 Speaker 1: I think in that type of setting or situation, you're 30 00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:01,080 Speaker 1: really looking for team execution, and you know, I think 31 00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:02,480 Speaker 1: one of the things that we found there was a 32 00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:04,280 Speaker 1: continuation of some of the things that have gone on 33 00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:07,880 Speaker 1: in practice relative to presnap penalties. You know, a receiver 34 00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:10,320 Speaker 1: flinching on third down. I mean again, things that are 35 00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:14,519 Speaker 1: fixable or correctable. So between the penalties and you know, 36 00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:17,840 Speaker 1: the presnap penalties, that's certainly something we can improve. But 37 00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:20,520 Speaker 1: you know, there were moments where the offense made and plays, 38 00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:22,800 Speaker 1: the defense madees and plays, and it was a little 39 00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:25,920 Speaker 1: bit more of a I would say gamelike simulation, because 40 00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:28,600 Speaker 1: you're running a series of plays, having a drive for 41 00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:30,800 Speaker 1: a second third down. Then you punt, so it's a 42 00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:33,880 Speaker 1: little bit more game like and you know a little 43 00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:36,440 Speaker 1: more realistic about what's going to happen when you play football. 44 00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:38,519 Speaker 1: I know it's preseason game on Saturday, Nick, but do 45 00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:41,640 Speaker 1: you do anything this week from a game prep mode? 46 00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:44,079 Speaker 1: Because I know it's preseason, you got a lot of work. 47 00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:46,639 Speaker 1: Do you still have valuation to do? But versus practice 48 00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:48,600 Speaker 1: versus hey, do you do anything you get ready for 49 00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:50,200 Speaker 1: this game against Green Bay? How does that change this 50 00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:52,840 Speaker 1: week at all? It's a great question. You're still sort 51 00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:54,520 Speaker 1: of in training camp mode. I think as you get 52 00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:56,880 Speaker 1: towards the end of the week, you might transition to Okay, 53 00:02:56,919 --> 00:03:00,000 Speaker 1: we have an opponent and you want to familiarize yourself 54 00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:02,120 Speaker 1: with their personnel, who you're going to be playing against, 55 00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:05,880 Speaker 1: and maybe some basic things schematically. But it'll be more 56 00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:09,240 Speaker 1: about call employees that we've run that we're comfortable with, 57 00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:12,000 Speaker 1: as opposed to necessarily game planning. But this will be 58 00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:14,200 Speaker 1: our first opportunity to get to going against somebody in 59 00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:16,880 Speaker 1: a different color jersey, because we've been going against ourselves 60 00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:18,600 Speaker 1: here for two weeks going on three. I want to 61 00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:20,800 Speaker 1: talk to you about the quarterback play on Saturday night. 62 00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:23,680 Speaker 1: We also noticed that Deshaun Watson just came into practice today. 63 00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:26,359 Speaker 1: Anything else to share on that. Yeah, No, I mean again, 64 00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:28,160 Speaker 1: we've said from the beginning kind of taken one day 65 00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:29,880 Speaker 1: at a time. You know, I've had good conversations, We've 66 00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:31,799 Speaker 1: had good conversations with the Shawn. So we'll take a 67 00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:34,440 Speaker 1: one day at a time and keep moving forward. All right, 68 00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:37,680 Speaker 1: So quarterbacks on Saturday night, Nick to Rod Taylor had 69 00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:40,600 Speaker 1: some really good moments in the passing game. But Kelly, 70 00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:43,040 Speaker 1: David Kelly talked about the pre snap penalties and you 71 00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:45,000 Speaker 1: mentioned that having to clean some of that stuff up. 72 00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:47,440 Speaker 1: Yet you have to be encouraged about the offense's ability 73 00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:49,640 Speaker 1: to sort of pull itself out of some tough situations 74 00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:52,520 Speaker 1: on Saturday as well. Yeah, again, when you get into 75 00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:54,800 Speaker 1: a little bit more of a gamelike simulation, you see 76 00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:58,240 Speaker 1: how the team handles those situations. So again, I think anytime, 77 00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:00,480 Speaker 1: even in practice, the defense is going to make some plays, 78 00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:02,720 Speaker 1: the offenses make some plays. I think the most important 79 00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:04,720 Speaker 1: thing in training camp, and I would say to a 80 00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:06,920 Speaker 1: certain extent in the early part of the season, you're 81 00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:11,080 Speaker 1: looking for improvement, both individual improvement and team improvement, because again, 82 00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:14,360 Speaker 1: nothing's going to really happen overnight. So are you making progress? 83 00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:17,279 Speaker 1: Are making improvements? Some areas we've improved more than others. 84 00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:19,560 Speaker 1: Other areas we have to continue to improve. Maybe haven't 85 00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:22,279 Speaker 1: improved as much as we'd hoped. But again that's what 86 00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:24,160 Speaker 1: we have the next two or three weeks to see. 87 00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:26,520 Speaker 1: And the players that can do the things most consistently, 88 00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:28,560 Speaker 1: those are the players that were ultimately going to be 89 00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:31,000 Speaker 1: able to rely on account on how long before you 90 00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:36,159 Speaker 1: sign Pep Hamilton's son as a quarterback's a good player. 91 00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:38,320 Speaker 1: I think he has a waiting I think the first 92 00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:39,960 Speaker 1: thing I'll come up with him is the whole image 93 00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:43,560 Speaker 1: and likeness. Oh man, so oh yeah, yeah, that's that's 94 00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:45,800 Speaker 1: speaking speaking of Since you brought up some sort of 95 00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:48,960 Speaker 1: college thing yesterday, Bobby Bowden, m R. I P to 96 00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:52,560 Speaker 1: coach ninety one years old? Did you have any meetings? 97 00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:55,160 Speaker 1: Are ever meet with Coach Bowden at all? Through all 98 00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:57,320 Speaker 1: years of scouting, you're doing different things that you've done 99 00:04:57,440 --> 00:04:59,640 Speaker 1: more in passing. I was a pup, you know, when 100 00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:02,120 Speaker 1: coach was at FSU. But I think more than anything 101 00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:05,240 Speaker 1: from Afar, really what he was was an ambassador for 102 00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:09,520 Speaker 1: college football and for the players and the longevity that 103 00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:12,480 Speaker 1: he was able to show. Quite frankly, it'd be hard 104 00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:14,359 Speaker 1: for us to find that again, what he did with 105 00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:17,719 Speaker 1: the program, the sustainability of the success and the consistency 106 00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:20,440 Speaker 1: of the program over time, Quite frankly, it's probably gonna 107 00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:22,560 Speaker 1: be hard to match over the course of X amount 108 00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:24,320 Speaker 1: of years. You might have some people doing a short 109 00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:27,040 Speaker 1: period of time. But I think everybody that's come in 110 00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:29,760 Speaker 1: contact with coach Bowden just talked about what a great person, 111 00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:32,080 Speaker 1: what a great ambassador for college football that he was, 112 00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:35,400 Speaker 1: And just as an observant from AFAR, that's what it 113 00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:37,279 Speaker 1: looked like. And you have an appreciation for what his 114 00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:40,520 Speaker 1: teams were able to do. Speaking of coaching, coach Frank 115 00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:43,840 Speaker 1: Ross of special teams here a lot of energy. I mean, 116 00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:46,840 Speaker 1: it's hard not to notice out here. How is that 117 00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:49,599 Speaker 1: phase of the game coming along throughout camp? In your opinion, 118 00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:52,799 Speaker 1: making progress had some ups and downs. I think you know, again, 119 00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:55,240 Speaker 1: to be good in the kicking game, your specialists have 120 00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:57,760 Speaker 1: to be good. So the other night, you know, we 121 00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:00,000 Speaker 1: quite frankly, weren't as good as we need to be too. 122 00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:03,040 Speaker 1: Miss kicks, you know, poor punt to bad snap. So 123 00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:06,200 Speaker 1: again that's about execution. So if you want to be 124 00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:08,040 Speaker 1: good in the kicking game, you're special It starts with 125 00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:10,600 Speaker 1: your specialist. But relative to Frank, I mean, he's got 126 00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:12,119 Speaker 1: a lot of energy, he's got a lot of juice. 127 00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:15,080 Speaker 1: I mean we're mistaken for brothers at times. If people 128 00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:18,159 Speaker 1: think he's my younger brother. He's not. But you know, 129 00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:20,520 Speaker 1: it's great to have him and Bake here and they've 130 00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:22,960 Speaker 1: worked well together, and I think we've put the emphasis 131 00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:25,000 Speaker 1: the kicking game is important. You know, that's a part 132 00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:27,240 Speaker 1: of the game, and if you can gain an advantage 133 00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:29,120 Speaker 1: in a certain part of the game, then it's going 134 00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:30,960 Speaker 1: to be an asset to your team. So we'll continue 135 00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:32,440 Speaker 1: to build and find the people that can help us 136 00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:34,200 Speaker 1: in an area the most nick Now that you put 137 00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:35,760 Speaker 1: the pads on, you had an opportunity to kind of 138 00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:38,240 Speaker 1: watch the big guys, the defensive line. We've talked about this. 139 00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:41,560 Speaker 1: I think there's maybe fifteen guys not being a foreman front. 140 00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:44,719 Speaker 1: You've got so many guys inside, outside, etc. What have 141 00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:46,799 Speaker 1: you seen in the progress of those guys up front? 142 00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:48,800 Speaker 1: What have you liked about what the defensive line has 143 00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:50,760 Speaker 1: brought this first few days of pads. Yeah, they're all 144 00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:52,800 Speaker 1: kind of different. They all have their own strengths. I 145 00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:54,839 Speaker 1: think b K has done a great job of rolling 146 00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:57,279 Speaker 1: those players through. When you actually look at the distribution 147 00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:00,120 Speaker 1: or reps, it's pretty balanced, so which isn't It's not 148 00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:02,279 Speaker 1: the easiest thing for a coach to do that, but 149 00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:05,120 Speaker 1: Bobbies handle it great. So again, you want to see 150 00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:08,240 Speaker 1: different people with different groups go against different players and 151 00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:10,560 Speaker 1: to coordinate that and try to mix and match that, 152 00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:13,160 Speaker 1: you know, it takes some planning. So again, they all 153 00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:16,080 Speaker 1: have some different strengths and weaknesses and our responsibilities to 154 00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:17,880 Speaker 1: be able to put them in a position to accentuate 155 00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:20,640 Speaker 1: their strengths so we can maximize their performance on a 156 00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:23,360 Speaker 1: defensive side of the ball. All right, So preseason games 157 00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:25,440 Speaker 1: hot and heavy this week, Nick, what could you tell 158 00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:28,640 Speaker 1: us about how you scout these games and players that 159 00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:30,880 Speaker 1: might be available and teams that you're going to be 160 00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:33,840 Speaker 1: playing this year. All of that market goes into it. 161 00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:36,520 Speaker 1: So we're gonna get a chance to see our first 162 00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:39,920 Speaker 1: few opponents play again. It's not so much about who's 163 00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:41,800 Speaker 1: playing again. You're just going to see some things just 164 00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:44,200 Speaker 1: generally speaking kind of and maybe who lines up where. 165 00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:46,760 Speaker 1: So you're looking at it from an opponent perspective. And 166 00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:49,559 Speaker 1: then the opportunity to evaluate other players. Again, there's ninety 167 00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:51,880 Speaker 1: players and the rosters are going to get cut down, 168 00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:54,720 Speaker 1: so our players their players. A lot of players are 169 00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:58,320 Speaker 1: auditioning potentially for other jobs and opportunities somewhere else, So 170 00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:01,360 Speaker 1: we'll be strategic. Again. You can't look at everybody. You 171 00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:03,040 Speaker 1: have to be able to take pods of players and 172 00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:05,320 Speaker 1: say our look, we're gonna focus on this group, okay, 173 00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:07,280 Speaker 1: and then you have to make an assumption about all right, 174 00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:09,520 Speaker 1: you know what this looks like. This player is probably 175 00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:12,280 Speaker 1: gonna make their team, so we probably shouldn't allocate too 176 00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:14,800 Speaker 1: many time, too much time and resources to that. Maybe 177 00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:17,760 Speaker 1: allocate it to somewhere somewhere else and somebody else who 178 00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:19,640 Speaker 1: may have the opportunity to shake free. And then we 179 00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:21,120 Speaker 1: have to look at our team and say, all right, 180 00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:23,360 Speaker 1: doesn't make sense, doesn't match up, and is there any 181 00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:25,320 Speaker 1: merit to bringing that player in our program? Nick, you 182 00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:27,520 Speaker 1: mentioned it a little bit about the special teams work 183 00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:28,920 Speaker 1: you had the other day, but you really get to 184 00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:31,920 Speaker 1: ramp up during a game. It's too much made of 185 00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:36,400 Speaker 1: the fact that these preseason special teams reps are so important. 186 00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:38,680 Speaker 1: We always tell the story about Terrell Davis, you know, 187 00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:40,400 Speaker 1: going to Japan and making a big hit and that 188 00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:42,880 Speaker 1: kind of got the Broncos coach's attention. Is too much 189 00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:44,760 Speaker 1: made of that or are those reps that important on 190 00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:48,040 Speaker 1: special teams? No, it's a great opportunity. I would say 191 00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:50,640 Speaker 1: the one thing that you notice more than anything is 192 00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:53,760 Speaker 1: the pace and the speed. You can't really simulate that 193 00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:56,000 Speaker 1: pace and speed in practice. You do the best you can, 194 00:08:56,360 --> 00:08:58,200 Speaker 1: but when you get to the game, you know, and 195 00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:01,199 Speaker 1: that's an opportunity for players really, that's your best chance 196 00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:04,480 Speaker 1: to really make a team. So if you can show 197 00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:07,880 Speaker 1: your value in that phase, then it's I mean it's counterintuitive, 198 00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:10,400 Speaker 1: but if you're productive in the kicking game and that 199 00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:12,280 Speaker 1: gives you an opportunity to get to game in that role, 200 00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:14,079 Speaker 1: it might actually give you a chance to play in 201 00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:15,920 Speaker 1: the respective side of the ball. So I know it's 202 00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:18,320 Speaker 1: kind of a convoluted way to look at it, but 203 00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:20,040 Speaker 1: that's the reality of it. And there's a lot of 204 00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:22,960 Speaker 1: guys that have put themselves into position that's they've had 205 00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:25,680 Speaker 1: a career just doing that. One more for you, Nick 206 00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:28,320 Speaker 1: coach Kelly was asked about no joint practices and you 207 00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:31,120 Speaker 1: finally get some action against another opponent on Saturday night, 208 00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:33,280 Speaker 1: and he said, we just needed the time to really 209 00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:35,320 Speaker 1: get to know each other well, because the whole thing 210 00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:38,199 Speaker 1: feels like one gigantic joint practice with all the new players. 211 00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:40,439 Speaker 1: How do you see it? Absolutely couldn't agree more. Coach 212 00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:42,800 Speaker 1: and I we've talked about that and again, each year 213 00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:44,200 Speaker 1: you have to look at your team and what do 214 00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:46,400 Speaker 1: you think is the best for your team. We felt 215 00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:48,160 Speaker 1: this year the best thing for us was to get 216 00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:49,880 Speaker 1: to know us. It was to give our players an 217 00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:52,880 Speaker 1: opportunity to work together. Again. In future years we'll look 218 00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:54,560 Speaker 1: at the composition of a team and do what we 219 00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:56,720 Speaker 1: feel is best. But again, we've been able to make 220 00:09:56,760 --> 00:09:58,480 Speaker 1: a lot of strides and get a lot accomplished in 221 00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:00,679 Speaker 1: these first two to three weeks, and we just felt 222 00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:03,440 Speaker 1: that was the best thing for us this year. I 223 00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:07,400 Speaker 1: gotta admit, man, I have loved our conversations with Nick Cassario. 224 00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:10,040 Speaker 1: I know he's not come on every single day, but 225 00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:12,920 Speaker 1: he's come on a lot of days. In fact, we 226 00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:18,040 Speaker 1: got a text yesterday from my buddy Omar who runs 227 00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:21,560 Speaker 1: all pr and said, Hey, Nick, Sarah's coming at nine o'clock. Again. 228 00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:24,959 Speaker 1: I was like, oh sweet, all right, cool, like It's 229 00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:27,319 Speaker 1: this nice surprise. You know. It's kind of like when 230 00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:29,880 Speaker 1: you have that jelly filled donut and you take the 231 00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:32,920 Speaker 1: first bite and it's like nothing. You're like, man, I 232 00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:34,640 Speaker 1: know it's a jelly filled donor at least I think 233 00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:37,640 Speaker 1: he takes second bite and you're like, hey, where's the jelly? 234 00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:40,600 Speaker 1: Third bite? Oh, you get all the jelly. Well, that's 235 00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:44,199 Speaker 1: kind of like what happened you We just get this 236 00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:46,840 Speaker 1: gift of Nick Cassario in the morning. It's been really, 237 00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:50,240 Speaker 1: really fun. We've got one more day tomorrow and Nick 238 00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:54,079 Speaker 1: Sarah won't be joining us, but David Culley will at 239 00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:57,720 Speaker 1: about nine o'clock nine o'clock tomorrow. But the man who 240 00:10:57,800 --> 00:11:00,880 Speaker 1: joins us each and every day eight fifty today it 241 00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:03,120 Speaker 1: was eight thirties pushed back a little bit, and that's 242 00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:08,760 Speaker 1: the General John McClain. Here's what the General had to 243 00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:11,120 Speaker 1: say when he joined us to talk about this team, 244 00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:14,880 Speaker 1: the scrimmage and everything in Houston, Texas. General John McLean 245 00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:18,000 Speaker 1: joins us with the Houston Chronicle Saturday night. Your thoughts. 246 00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:23,760 Speaker 1: Brandon Cooks of obviously is the best receiver. He showed 247 00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:27,560 Speaker 1: it again. There's no question about that. And I wrote 248 00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:30,480 Speaker 1: a column today where they stand after two weeks going 249 00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:33,000 Speaker 1: into the third week started camp, and the thing that 250 00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:35,720 Speaker 1: stood out to me the most was the way David 251 00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:38,280 Speaker 1: Culley was chewing out people on the field for those 252 00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:43,960 Speaker 1: mind numbing penalties that just get coaches so worked up 253 00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:49,480 Speaker 1: pre snap, and then afterward he was the most critical 254 00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:53,520 Speaker 1: he'd been, not into anybody individually, but about the penalties. 255 00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:56,320 Speaker 1: And I thought, boy, no more, mister nice guy. And 256 00:11:56,360 --> 00:11:59,440 Speaker 1: that's good because, as you guys know, those kind of 257 00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:02,680 Speaker 1: penalties kill us. There one of the things about Bill O'Brien, 258 00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:06,160 Speaker 1: they were among the league leaders I think most of 259 00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:09,480 Speaker 1: the time and few as penalties, so that's self discipline, 260 00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:12,840 Speaker 1: and you know Laramie Tonsil always gets the most. But 261 00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:16,040 Speaker 1: I thought it was good that Cully showed that sign 262 00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:18,280 Speaker 1: of him and said it's not going to be tolerated. 263 00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:21,040 Speaker 1: It's bad football. We're not gonna play bad football. General, 264 00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:23,840 Speaker 1: your opinion on Trod Taylor from the other night, I thought, 265 00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:26,960 Speaker 1: as always, he's so much better than the other quarterbacks. 266 00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:30,559 Speaker 1: He should be considering it's his eleventh camp and he's 267 00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:34,400 Speaker 1: just a smooth operator. Everything he does smooth. He's not 268 00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:36,760 Speaker 1: going to go out and light it up like Deshaun Watson, 269 00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:39,320 Speaker 1: but you know they wanted him to be efficient, don't 270 00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:42,520 Speaker 1: turn it over. When he started those three years at Buffalo, 271 00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:46,559 Speaker 1: he had a great touchdown to turnover ratio and he 272 00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:50,400 Speaker 1: had fourteen touchdowns that he ran for. So if he 273 00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:52,600 Speaker 1: could get that, if he can stay healthy and give 274 00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:55,520 Speaker 1: them something close to that kind of performance, they will 275 00:12:55,600 --> 00:13:02,000 Speaker 1: be very, very happy. And it's clear that as long 276 00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:05,000 Speaker 1: as he's in the lineup, this offense has got a 277 00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:08,680 Speaker 1: chance to score some touchdowns. And I think Kami fairbarn 278 00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:10,199 Speaker 1: was it two years ago he led the league with 279 00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:12,680 Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty points. Yeah, I think he's gonna 280 00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:15,400 Speaker 1: get a lot of field goal opportunities, and if he's accurate, 281 00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:19,240 Speaker 1: he's gonna be right up there again green Bay Saturday night. 282 00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:21,280 Speaker 1: What are you looking for in the first one. It's 283 00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:23,600 Speaker 1: gonna be so much fun Mark and John to see 284 00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:26,679 Speaker 1: them actually go at it against somebody, because even when 285 00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:29,280 Speaker 1: they put on pads down here, they're not supposed to 286 00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:32,360 Speaker 1: take somebody to the ground, and they'll be taking people 287 00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:35,480 Speaker 1: to the ground at Green Bay. What I'm most interesting 288 00:13:35,520 --> 00:13:38,400 Speaker 1: in is what Cully how he's gonna use as players. 289 00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:40,960 Speaker 1: You know, we're gonna see Davis Mills the most in 290 00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:44,200 Speaker 1: the first game. That's the quarterback I'm most interested in, 291 00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:46,800 Speaker 1: and really any of the new any of the running 292 00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:49,800 Speaker 1: backs besides David Johnson. I just want to see all 293 00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:52,600 Speaker 1: the new guys because there's so many of them. Now, know, 294 00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:55,120 Speaker 1: you guys feel the same way. John, Do you feel 295 00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:58,400 Speaker 1: like there's anybody in particular that you look at for 296 00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:03,000 Speaker 1: Saturday and go, Okay, this is a must have opportunity 297 00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:06,280 Speaker 1: for this particular player. Well, there's one that would stand out, 298 00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:08,480 Speaker 1: but I don't think the first preseason game is that 299 00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:14,000 Speaker 1: for anybody. John Budd were tight end Kaholly Wearing because 300 00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:16,199 Speaker 1: when we were up there with the Texans having those 301 00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:19,520 Speaker 1: joint practices, was it two years ago? He looked real 302 00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:21,640 Speaker 1: good and then he got a concussion out for the year. 303 00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:25,760 Speaker 1: There's a lot of talent competition at tied end. They 304 00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:27,560 Speaker 1: don't care that he was a third round pick. But 305 00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:31,440 Speaker 1: if a player can't get with it mentally and stay 306 00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:34,320 Speaker 1: healthy in that third season, he's going to be gone, 307 00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:38,720 Speaker 1: especially when you have such a competitive situation. So I 308 00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:42,280 Speaker 1: want to see if Caholly Wearing can take it to 309 00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:46,040 Speaker 1: the field like he does the practice field when he 310 00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:49,840 Speaker 1: shows enormous ability and makes some good plays and looks good. 311 00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:52,320 Speaker 1: But you know, one thing is practiced. That's why this 312 00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:55,360 Speaker 1: game is important for so many players. John, what do 313 00:14:55,400 --> 00:14:59,360 Speaker 1: you think they're thinking? And indeed, what's their thought process 314 00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:02,360 Speaker 1: here with the terback position. Obviously Quentin Nelson is a 315 00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:04,600 Speaker 1: big deal as well, but there's less they would do 316 00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:09,680 Speaker 1: about that. I just heard coming over on NFL radio 317 00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:13,880 Speaker 1: that Wentz might be ready for the first game, and 318 00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:17,680 Speaker 1: he might not, but they're really happy with his progress 319 00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:21,040 Speaker 1: so far. What's it been a week? So I don't 320 00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:24,200 Speaker 1: know why. Look great. I don't even know why they're 321 00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:27,280 Speaker 1: putting that out. And it's kind of ridiculous when you 322 00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:30,440 Speaker 1: say five to twelve weeks to begin with, and then 323 00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:33,200 Speaker 1: a week after the surgery you're saying, well, he could 324 00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:35,560 Speaker 1: be ready for the first game. Let me give you 325 00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:37,960 Speaker 1: guys a scoop. He could not be ready for the 326 00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:40,480 Speaker 1: first game. That's the way it is today. Throw anything 327 00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:43,640 Speaker 1: out on the wall. Did you say good or may 328 00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:46,880 Speaker 1: or might? Then you can say, hey, I didn't say 329 00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:49,240 Speaker 1: he was. We've had a lot of could may and 330 00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:52,720 Speaker 1: might around here lately, so or not from here, but 331 00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:55,600 Speaker 1: about here, so yeah, well anything could may and might 332 00:15:56,800 --> 00:15:59,880 Speaker 1: keep with the Colts. General Darius Lennard gets almost a 333 00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:04,680 Speaker 1: million dollars over five years as an off the ball linebacker. 334 00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:06,880 Speaker 1: And I heard Sethon Sean sort of steal the words 335 00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:08,320 Speaker 1: right out of my mouth. For there was a time 336 00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:13,240 Speaker 1: where off a linebackers kind of fell it up phase. 337 00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:15,760 Speaker 1: I don't know, they just they fell out a favorite 338 00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:17,120 Speaker 1: real It was like, well, you know, you could get 339 00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:19,000 Speaker 1: by with a couple of guys. I always playing Nicolas. 340 00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:22,880 Speaker 1: They didn't get sacks. Yeah, d four guys that got 341 00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:25,560 Speaker 1: the glory right. But now but now ye have Fred 342 00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:28,240 Speaker 1: Warner gets paid, Darius Leonard gets paid. You know, Devin 343 00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:31,000 Speaker 1: White's gonna get paid very soon. But Lante David got 344 00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:33,120 Speaker 1: re up that believed down to Tampa Bay. He did. 345 00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:36,680 Speaker 1: These off the ball guys are getting they're getting some money. Now, 346 00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:40,520 Speaker 1: why has it changed? Because they're making plays. If you 347 00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:43,720 Speaker 1: you see Darius Leonard twice a year, he makes plays. 348 00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:47,040 Speaker 1: It's not always sacks, but he makes tackles. He makes 349 00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:49,720 Speaker 1: tackles at the line of scrimmage or behind. He'll break 350 00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:52,600 Speaker 1: up plays, he can drop into coverage. And I think 351 00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:55,120 Speaker 1: that's great. You know, like if you think about it, 352 00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:58,600 Speaker 1: here who is gonna be the four to three linebacker 353 00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:01,880 Speaker 1: who makes the most plays. Right away, we'd say Zach Cunningham. 354 00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:05,720 Speaker 1: I'm gonna say Christen Kirksey. They love Kristen Kirksey, and 355 00:17:05,840 --> 00:17:09,440 Speaker 1: I'm just guessing he's gonna adapt quicker to what Lovey 356 00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:14,160 Speaker 1: Smith does and than the others. But I'm for all 357 00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:16,960 Speaker 1: players getting as much money as they can possibly get, 358 00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:20,399 Speaker 1: and that includes Darius Leonard and Quentin Nelson. You know, 359 00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:22,480 Speaker 1: they're ready to pay them the big bucks, and they 360 00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:25,199 Speaker 1: still will, and that's why they wouldn't spend a lot 361 00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:27,520 Speaker 1: of their money. They had an off season to go 362 00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:29,800 Speaker 1: out and get free agents. They had those two guys 363 00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:32,360 Speaker 1: that they knew when they signed them they would be 364 00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:37,000 Speaker 1: at or right under the highest paid players in history 365 00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:40,560 Speaker 1: at their position. What's going on in Nashville general? How 366 00:17:40,600 --> 00:17:43,200 Speaker 1: are they progressing through campus? They've been very low key, 367 00:17:43,359 --> 00:17:45,840 Speaker 1: running some guys in, running guys out at the bottom 368 00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:48,560 Speaker 1: of the roster. You know things are going well because 369 00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:52,480 Speaker 1: Mike Rabel's been funny in his post practice news conferences, 370 00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:55,840 Speaker 1: cracking some jokes. They've been lucky, they haven't had a 371 00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:59,600 Speaker 1: big injury. But Julio Jones, it can't be a hold 372 00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:01,880 Speaker 1: in as he already makes trinked a million a year, 373 00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:05,359 Speaker 1: but he hadn't practiced much and there's some injury. I 374 00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:07,639 Speaker 1: can't remember if they've disclosed it or not. But the 375 00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:10,320 Speaker 1: truth is, you know, as long as he's there when 376 00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:12,800 Speaker 1: answers the bell when the season starts and gives them 377 00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:15,760 Speaker 1: an offense had already averaged thirty one points a game, 378 00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:19,119 Speaker 1: you know they their whole camp better be. I'm trying 379 00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:22,720 Speaker 1: to get their defense to improve, especially on third down. 380 00:18:23,359 --> 00:18:27,320 Speaker 1: Week four, John Saxon's little face the Buffalo Bills, and 381 00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:29,639 Speaker 1: then I don't know if he has the new richest 382 00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:33,320 Speaker 1: quarterback in the NFL, but it's pretty arm. Josh Allen 383 00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:36,800 Speaker 1: gets one hundred and fifty million guaranteed two hundred and 384 00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:40,520 Speaker 1: fifty eight million over the course of six years. Your 385 00:18:40,560 --> 00:18:43,119 Speaker 1: thoughts of Josh Allen going from it's funny Mark and 386 00:18:43,119 --> 00:18:46,120 Speaker 1: I talked about this. I saw somebody right this. After 387 00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:49,440 Speaker 1: a playoff win at twenty nineteen, they called him Wyoming Josh. 388 00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:51,159 Speaker 1: The first half he was great, second half he is 389 00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:54,520 Speaker 1: Wyoming Josh. He went from that to having a full 390 00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:56,879 Speaker 1: season at twenty twenty where he's played at m VP caliber, 391 00:18:56,920 --> 00:18:58,480 Speaker 1: and then he got paid six years, two hundred fifty 392 00:18:58,480 --> 00:19:00,960 Speaker 1: eight million year thoughts, And he's lucky he's kept his coordinator. 393 00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:06,200 Speaker 1: That's another thing when you keep your coaches. Say they waited, 394 00:19:06,280 --> 00:19:09,040 Speaker 1: and Lamar Jackson and Baker may feel signed before him, 395 00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:11,960 Speaker 1: and maybe he took him to the Super Bowl ASC 396 00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:15,000 Speaker 1: championship game, won a Super Bowl. Think how much it 397 00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:18,840 Speaker 1: would have cost him if Watson had not signed last 398 00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:21,879 Speaker 1: year I had any issues, played great. Think of what 399 00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:24,919 Speaker 1: he'd getting now compared to what he did in September 400 00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:29,560 Speaker 1: of last year or whatever. Whoever goes last usually gets 401 00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:32,399 Speaker 1: the most. But they're saying now, there's no way you 402 00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:37,040 Speaker 1: can justify paying Jacksonon or Mayfield as much as Alan. 403 00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:40,480 Speaker 1: And one of the things, I'm just blown away by 404 00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:44,160 Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson's agent's got to be going crazy. He's got 405 00:19:44,160 --> 00:19:46,200 Speaker 1: a chance to get this kind of money. And a 406 00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:50,040 Speaker 1: guy's testing positive for the second time, get vaccinated. You 407 00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:54,119 Speaker 1: mean his mom? Great column, great column, and the Baltimore 408 00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:57,399 Speaker 1: Son by Mike Preston just tore him apart for listening 409 00:19:57,440 --> 00:20:01,520 Speaker 1: to his entourage instead of the the Ravens. And when 410 00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:05,840 Speaker 1: you got that money, well stake My god, it's his mom. 411 00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:09,200 Speaker 1: His mom is his aging right, So that's that's who 412 00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:12,400 Speaker 1: That's who he's listening to apparently because his mom does 413 00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:15,000 Speaker 1: everything for him because she's gonna be the new Chunky Soup. 414 00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:20,560 Speaker 1: I know. The thing is, it's interesting about she stays. 415 00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:23,520 Speaker 1: She stays out of the limelight, but she also has 416 00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:26,000 Speaker 1: a help. But she does she does have help, no doubt. 417 00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:27,960 Speaker 1: But in the draft, in the draft process, it was 418 00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:31,000 Speaker 1: funny because you talked to Dre. Drey was the only 419 00:20:31,119 --> 00:20:35,840 Speaker 1: person they trusted to do an interview with the entire 420 00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:39,760 Speaker 1: draft process in twenty eighteen. The only person they would 421 00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:42,480 Speaker 1: do a sit down with Drey. That was it. Wow, 422 00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:44,720 Speaker 1: she was That was the only person that she would 423 00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:46,800 Speaker 1: allow him to do an interview with. So she's the 424 00:20:46,800 --> 00:20:48,720 Speaker 1: one that's, you know, kind of driving the train there. 425 00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:51,280 Speaker 1: So I'm curious to see how that negotiation will go. 426 00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:55,959 Speaker 1: But I don't think it's gonna say time out general, 427 00:20:56,040 --> 00:20:57,760 Speaker 1: what do you have going out of the chronicle? Well, 428 00:20:57,880 --> 00:21:00,360 Speaker 1: Roda column today about Kellie and where they are going 429 00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:05,400 Speaker 1: into third week and Brooks, Kamine and I have columns, videos, podcast, 430 00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:08,840 Speaker 1: Brian T. Smiths here, So we're just like Houston Texans 431 00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:13,320 Speaker 1: dot Com. We got a whole lot of Texans information. Man, 432 00:21:13,359 --> 00:21:15,880 Speaker 1: we are very prolific at Houston Texas dot Com. There's 433 00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:19,840 Speaker 1: no question about that. But the General his crew, Brooks 434 00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:23,040 Speaker 1: Kabina joining the crew, which I like, that's gonna be 435 00:21:23,119 --> 00:21:25,359 Speaker 1: nice for the general. So you're gonna have Brooks in 436 00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:30,359 Speaker 1: the general Houston Chronicle dot Com. He does the General 437 00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:33,399 Speaker 1: just he just spits out content. You hear him on 438 00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:36,760 Speaker 1: sport Rae at six ten. He does interviews throughout the country, 439 00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:40,400 Speaker 1: and people think about Houston Texas football or Houston foot 440 00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:43,240 Speaker 1: for the NFL. They think of John McClain as well. 441 00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:48,160 Speaker 1: They should. I told you heavy hitters right off the bat. 442 00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:51,760 Speaker 1: But we're gonna keep that going because in our next segment, 443 00:21:52,080 --> 00:21:57,160 Speaker 1: Deepie City Deep Slant Time.

We joked about it 469 00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:33,240 Speaker 1: the other day about mishaps that we've had in the 470 00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:35,480 Speaker 1: booth at various times, and mine happened on the very 471 00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:39,399 Speaker 1: first preseason game I did in twenty fourteen, and Market 472 00:23:39,440 --> 00:23:42,480 Speaker 1: always told me that I'm in Q and I've realized 473 00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:45,600 Speaker 1: over the years I'm in Q for both he and Andre, 474 00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:49,359 Speaker 1: but at the time I didn't realize that it was 475 00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:52,600 Speaker 1: both he and Andre. So I am when he stops talking, 476 00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:58,239 Speaker 1: I'm just chatterboxing in his ear and just getting so 477 00:23:58,320 --> 00:23:59,960 Speaker 1: mad up in the booth. We get to a break 478 00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:04,960 Speaker 1: and Mark very gently is like, hey, Johnny Chill. I'm like, oh, 479 00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:06,679 Speaker 1: and he goes, You're in CUE for both of us, 480 00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:09,720 Speaker 1: and I'm like, oh no, And I don't know why 481 00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:12,040 Speaker 1: I didn't catch that part, but I didn't, but it 482 00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:16,760 Speaker 1: made makes for a fun story seven years after the fact. 483 00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:20,520 Speaker 1: Now going too my eighth year, so it's always a blast. 484 00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:22,720 Speaker 1: I love these preseason games.

A guy that missed 502 00:25:10,320 --> 00:25:13,199 Speaker 1: the first few days of camp but then got on 503 00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:15,320 Speaker 1: the field when the pads went on, and gradually they're 504 00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:17,880 Speaker 1: kind of ramping up his involvement. Just to make sure 505 00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:20,879 Speaker 1: that you know he's activated, if you will, and not 506 00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:25,960 Speaker 1: activated in a in a football sense, like through the 507 00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:28,920 Speaker 1: front office. I mean like body is activated and ready 508 00:25:28,920 --> 00:25:33,200 Speaker 1: to go. And that's Lonnie Johnson Junior. He went through 509 00:25:33,320 --> 00:25:37,600 Speaker 1: Mike today at the press conference, but even more importantly, 510 00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:42,600 Speaker 1: he chatted with Deep Surete for a little deep slant interview. 511 00:25:42,760 --> 00:25:46,280 Speaker 1: Here's Deepe and Lonnie. It's a deep slight one one 512 00:25:46,320 --> 00:25:50,200 Speaker 1: presented by explanating my guest tonight, Lonnie Johnson's safety entering 513 00:25:50,280 --> 00:25:52,800 Speaker 1: year three. Lonnie, First of all, it's a night practice, 514 00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:55,520 Speaker 1: super exciting. You had to pick tonight. So how has 515 00:25:55,600 --> 00:25:56,840 Speaker 1: camp been going for you so far? How do you 516 00:25:56,840 --> 00:25:59,320 Speaker 1: like these night practices? I love the night practices. Um, 517 00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:01,720 Speaker 1: I mean it's dark out here. I love wearing all 518 00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:04,359 Speaker 1: black anyway, So I don't know. I mean, I just 519 00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:07,320 Speaker 1: love the night practice. It's the heat. It's not that 520 00:26:07,480 --> 00:26:10,320 Speaker 1: much heat out here. Got a little shade, so it's good. 521 00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:12,240 Speaker 1: You seem to have a lot of luck at night too, 522 00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:14,320 Speaker 1: because you're wearing the new number one. You gotta pick 523 00:26:14,320 --> 00:26:16,399 Speaker 1: and practice today. First of all, I gotta say I 524 00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:17,959 Speaker 1: like the new number one for you. So how how 525 00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:19,639 Speaker 1: does it feel to wear this new number? Man? It 526 00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:22,560 Speaker 1: feel good to know that Hall of Famer had this 527 00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:25,040 Speaker 1: number first, you know, and then wearing it now. I 528 00:26:25,080 --> 00:26:28,240 Speaker 1: think that's probably why I keep getting like the interceptions 529 00:26:28,320 --> 00:26:30,600 Speaker 1: and like having flun with it. You know. It's just 530 00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:32,600 Speaker 1: a lot of players, a lot of good players come 531 00:26:32,720 --> 00:26:34,159 Speaker 1: my way this year, and I think it's because of 532 00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:37,160 Speaker 1: the number change. The fresh start. We get asked about 533 00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:39,520 Speaker 1: you a lot from fans. You're entering year three, you've 534 00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:42,320 Speaker 1: played safety, now, you played safety last year. How comfortable 535 00:26:42,359 --> 00:26:44,000 Speaker 1: do you feel in this position? I know last year 536 00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:46,600 Speaker 1: was sort of a weird offseason, but this offseason you 537 00:26:46,640 --> 00:26:49,199 Speaker 1: had camp, you started a little bit late, but now 538 00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:50,800 Speaker 1: you're sort of getting back into the swing of things. 539 00:26:50,800 --> 00:26:52,200 Speaker 1: And how do you feel back out there with justin 540 00:26:52,240 --> 00:26:55,120 Speaker 1: read again? Man? Feel it feel good? That's my evil twin. Man. 541 00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:59,040 Speaker 1: Y'all already know how that goes. That's just it feel 542 00:26:59,080 --> 00:27:01,720 Speaker 1: good to be back. You know. I started off a 543 00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:04,280 Speaker 1: little slow, but when I came back, I was just 544 00:27:04,320 --> 00:27:06,720 Speaker 1: locked in mentally to the playbug and that's what helped 545 00:27:06,720 --> 00:27:09,480 Speaker 1: me to come back. Just not letting the safeties lowers 546 00:27:09,520 --> 00:27:11,920 Speaker 1: a beat, not letting the coaching staff lose a bat either. 547 00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:14,840 Speaker 1: It just came back for and just came back strong 548 00:27:14,880 --> 00:27:17,520 Speaker 1: with it. How was it working with Lovey Smith and 549 00:27:18,160 --> 00:27:19,960 Speaker 1: learning from him, a guy that's been in the league 550 00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:21,520 Speaker 1: for so many years? How exciting is it to work 551 00:27:21,520 --> 00:27:23,280 Speaker 1: from him? What do you really like about being in 552 00:27:23,320 --> 00:27:26,480 Speaker 1: this defense? That I'm able to play fast, I'm able 553 00:27:26,520 --> 00:27:29,800 Speaker 1: to react. This real simple for me to learn. It 554 00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:31,560 Speaker 1: wasn't that hard, you know. Like I said, I was 555 00:27:31,600 --> 00:27:33,439 Speaker 1: just locked in when I was out, so when I 556 00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:35,479 Speaker 1: came back, it was just easy to just pick up 557 00:27:35,560 --> 00:27:38,120 Speaker 1: right where I left off. And as you can see, 558 00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:40,399 Speaker 1: the defense working for me and I love it, so 559 00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:42,520 Speaker 1: I'm having fun with it. Is that one of the 560 00:27:42,520 --> 00:27:44,040 Speaker 1: things you want to work on during the season, just 561 00:27:44,040 --> 00:27:47,639 Speaker 1: playing more instinctively? Oh yeah, just playing more instinctively and 562 00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:51,200 Speaker 1: just being overall safety. You know, the last year was 563 00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:53,640 Speaker 1: a switch for me, so this time around, like having 564 00:27:53,680 --> 00:27:56,520 Speaker 1: an offseason and preparing and preparing my mind mentally. That 565 00:27:56,600 --> 00:27:58,720 Speaker 1: was the biggest part of the game. The game is 566 00:27:58,760 --> 00:28:01,280 Speaker 1: more mental than physicals, so I was just doing that 567 00:28:01,359 --> 00:28:03,920 Speaker 1: this off season for sure. All right, this offseason pretty busy. 568 00:28:03,920 --> 00:28:07,240 Speaker 1: You got married as well, so congratulations on that. Any 569 00:28:07,240 --> 00:28:09,560 Speaker 1: other any other exciting things that happened to you this offseason? 570 00:28:10,160 --> 00:28:13,840 Speaker 1: I mean, other than having a wedding, I mean I 571 00:28:13,840 --> 00:28:18,000 Speaker 1: got another child, my daughter, Lonnie um season eight months. 572 00:28:18,280 --> 00:28:21,639 Speaker 1: But other than that, I mean just my wedding, getting 573 00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:25,600 Speaker 1: married and my kids. That's it. That sounds like plenty, Lonnie. 574 00:28:25,840 --> 00:28:27,280 Speaker 1: Looking forward to seeing you the rest of season. Have 575 00:28:27,320 --> 00:28:29,480 Speaker 1: a great rest of camps. Thank you. You know, when 576 00:28:29,480 --> 00:28:33,840 Speaker 1: you get married and you have two kids, you're pretty 577 00:28:33,920 --> 00:28:38,480 Speaker 1: much doing nothing at all. Trust me, I know the deal. 578 00:28:39,080 --> 00:28:41,840 Speaker 1: You're you're just doing nothing. I mean, first of all, 579 00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:43,720 Speaker 1: the wedding is gonna take up a ton of your time. 580 00:28:44,120 --> 00:28:47,280 Speaker 1: And if you follow Lonnie on Instagram, you got a 581 00:28:47,320 --> 00:28:49,440 Speaker 1: chance to see it looked pretty cool and hopefully they 582 00:28:49,480 --> 00:28:51,680 Speaker 1: had a great time. And wish them the best luck 583 00:28:51,720 --> 00:28:54,400 Speaker 1: with a tremendous marriage and two very beautiful kids. I 584 00:28:54,440 --> 00:28:56,040 Speaker 1: saw them down in the field today. I mean you 585 00:28:56,080 --> 00:29:00,280 Speaker 1: talk about just sweethearts. Oh my goodness. And Lonnie if 586 00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:02,240 Speaker 1: you saw the press conference too, Lonnie had them with 587 00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:04,280 Speaker 1: him at the press conference, which was kind of sweet 588 00:29:04,320 --> 00:29:08,520 Speaker 1: as well. Wearing number one this year, you gotta have 589 00:29:08,560 --> 00:29:12,640 Speaker 1: some stones to wear number one. Just trust me on that. 590 00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:15,440 Speaker 1: You gotta have stones some reason. There's something about that 591 00:29:15,520 --> 00:29:18,600 Speaker 1: number one. Wearing it, you always sort of draw a 592 00:29:18,640 --> 00:29:21,040 Speaker 1: little bit of attention to yourself. But Lonnie's gonna wear 593 00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:24,160 Speaker 1: number one this year. So if you remember thirty two 594 00:29:24,440 --> 00:29:27,080 Speaker 1: kind of a race Outfreemembery, and now think about number one. 595 00:29:27,240 --> 00:29:31,000 Speaker 1: Lonnie Johnson. Now our next guest doesn't wear one, doesn't 596 00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:34,000 Speaker 1: wear thirty two. We wears fifty four and that's Jacob Martin. 597 00:29:34,560 --> 00:29:37,200 Speaker 1: I had a blast argue with Jacob Martin about pass rushing. 598 00:29:37,400 --> 00:29:39,280 Speaker 1: I know that's probably not gonna come out too much 599 00:29:39,480 --> 00:29:42,200 Speaker 1: with Dpcity because you know dep is she's gonna go 600 00:29:42,240 --> 00:29:45,240 Speaker 1: a little bit deeper with her deep slant. And sometimes 601 00:29:45,280 --> 00:29:47,600 Speaker 1: it's not always about the art and the science of 602 00:29:47,600 --> 00:29:50,160 Speaker 1: pass rushing. It can be about other things. So let's 603 00:29:50,200 --> 00:29:53,760 Speaker 1: hear what they had to discuss, Jacob Martin and dep City. 604 00:29:54,480 --> 00:29:56,440 Speaker 1: It's a deep slant one on one percent of ice finity. 605 00:29:56,520 --> 00:29:59,440 Speaker 1: My guest Jacob Martin entering year four, year three with 606 00:29:59,480 --> 00:30:02,040 Speaker 1: the text Jacob house Camp gone for you so far 607 00:30:02,120 --> 00:30:05,280 Speaker 1: at the new position. Uh, you know, it's like a homecoming. 608 00:30:05,520 --> 00:30:08,360 Speaker 1: You know, I haven't played defensive end in quite some time, 609 00:30:09,120 --> 00:30:10,760 Speaker 1: but it's it's been good to get back at it. 610 00:30:10,800 --> 00:30:13,520 Speaker 1: So it's awesome. There's a lot made of switching from 611 00:30:13,520 --> 00:30:15,320 Speaker 1: a three four to a four three defense, But how 612 00:30:15,320 --> 00:30:17,600 Speaker 1: do things change in your world when you're making that switching. 613 00:30:17,600 --> 00:30:19,320 Speaker 1: I would say things get more normal, you know for 614 00:30:19,360 --> 00:30:21,400 Speaker 1: me like I was. I came up through college in 615 00:30:21,400 --> 00:30:23,120 Speaker 1: a four three defense, you know, with my hand in 616 00:30:23,120 --> 00:30:24,880 Speaker 1: the ground, and uh, you know, since That's how I 617 00:30:24,960 --> 00:30:26,880 Speaker 1: made to the NFL, you know, my ability to play 618 00:30:26,920 --> 00:30:29,400 Speaker 1: deepensive end and to have that versatility in my game 619 00:30:29,440 --> 00:30:31,280 Speaker 1: to stand up in the two point or be down 620 00:30:31,320 --> 00:30:33,760 Speaker 1: to the three point, you know. So, um, it's not really, 621 00:30:33,800 --> 00:30:35,640 Speaker 1: there's not much that changes, you know, in terms of 622 00:30:35,680 --> 00:30:37,120 Speaker 1: the basics of the game. You know, you're really setting 623 00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:39,560 Speaker 1: edges and you're rushing the pasture, you know, uh, spelling 624 00:30:39,560 --> 00:30:42,080 Speaker 1: blocks and turning back blox. This is the same. It's 625 00:30:42,120 --> 00:30:44,239 Speaker 1: the same, the same concept, so you know, but it's 626 00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:45,760 Speaker 1: now I'm just coming out of a three point stands. 627 00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:48,320 Speaker 1: Love Smith said that you've got the profile of a 628 00:30:48,360 --> 00:30:50,880 Speaker 1: four three defensive end in his system. But what about 629 00:30:50,920 --> 00:30:52,360 Speaker 1: you personally? Did you have to put on weight? Did 630 00:30:52,360 --> 00:30:54,160 Speaker 1: you have to change anything about your physique to play 631 00:30:54,160 --> 00:30:56,560 Speaker 1: this position? Um? Not really. You know, obviously I wanted to. 632 00:30:56,600 --> 00:30:58,040 Speaker 1: I wanted to gain a little bit more weight, you know, 633 00:30:58,120 --> 00:31:01,160 Speaker 1: be in the upper you know, two forties, low two fifties, 634 00:31:01,200 --> 00:31:03,080 Speaker 1: you know, and you know that the just to be 635 00:31:03,160 --> 00:31:05,640 Speaker 1: more comfortable at the at the position, you know, And 636 00:31:05,720 --> 00:31:07,360 Speaker 1: this isn't the heaviest I've been, you know, in college 637 00:31:07,440 --> 00:31:09,320 Speaker 1: at one point I was two sixty seven. So it's not. 638 00:31:09,520 --> 00:31:12,920 Speaker 1: It's not a stretch for me to kane weight, you know, 639 00:31:13,320 --> 00:31:15,280 Speaker 1: or to be down in the trenches, you know. So 640 00:31:15,480 --> 00:31:17,400 Speaker 1: you know it's awesome. So how much weight did you 641 00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:18,960 Speaker 1: put on and how did you do it? What was 642 00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:21,360 Speaker 1: your favorite cheat meal or did you have to actually 643 00:31:21,400 --> 00:31:23,160 Speaker 1: be healthy about putting on the way? Um? You know, 644 00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:26,120 Speaker 1: someone like with my body type, you know, it gets 645 00:31:26,200 --> 00:31:28,760 Speaker 1: kind of uncomfortable, you know, eating all the time because 646 00:31:28,840 --> 00:31:29,960 Speaker 1: you get to a point where you have at the 647 00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:31,840 Speaker 1: four speed yourself. So it's not right that I don't 648 00:31:31,880 --> 00:31:34,760 Speaker 1: have that problem. So it's it's not it's not really 649 00:31:34,800 --> 00:31:37,120 Speaker 1: a like cheap meals or anything like that. You know 650 00:31:37,160 --> 00:31:38,600 Speaker 1: it a lot of chapole a, a lot of PB 651 00:31:38,680 --> 00:31:40,920 Speaker 1: and j's, um, you know it, a lot of steaks 652 00:31:40,920 --> 00:31:44,800 Speaker 1: and potatoes and rice and um.

Um, it's not just us, you know, 759 00:36:08,920 --> 00:36:12,080 Speaker 1: to everybody running it with is uh his his his 760 00:36:12,200 --> 00:36:14,759 Speaker 1: attitude and his character. You know, I've talked about this 761 00:36:14,800 --> 00:36:16,200 Speaker 1: a little bit, but I want you to expand on 762 00:36:16,280 --> 00:36:18,800 Speaker 1: this for our listeners. Talking about the art and the 763 00:36:18,920 --> 00:36:21,480 Speaker 1: science of past rushing. Right, I'll watch you guys a 764 00:36:21,560 --> 00:36:23,279 Speaker 1: lot in one on ones and I see some guys 765 00:36:23,320 --> 00:36:25,359 Speaker 1: and I go, Okay, I know he had a plan 766 00:36:25,440 --> 00:36:28,400 Speaker 1: on that particular plan. How important is it to have 767 00:36:28,600 --> 00:36:30,960 Speaker 1: a plan as you go into that particular rep. But 768 00:36:31,080 --> 00:36:33,480 Speaker 1: then it's ball snap, man, I gotta adjust like I 769 00:36:33,520 --> 00:36:35,680 Speaker 1: gotta do this pretty quickly. How important is that all 770 00:36:35,719 --> 00:36:37,600 Speaker 1: have to come together in such a short amount of time. Yeah, 771 00:36:37,600 --> 00:36:38,880 Speaker 1: I think it's I think it's huge, and just not 772 00:36:38,960 --> 00:36:40,920 Speaker 1: even just passworts. I think anything you know when it 773 00:36:40,960 --> 00:36:43,000 Speaker 1: comes to receivers running routes, you know, dbs when they're 774 00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:45,800 Speaker 1: they're sets and everything you know. Um, but it specifically passwords. 775 00:36:45,800 --> 00:36:47,279 Speaker 1: I know you have to have somewhat of a plan 776 00:36:47,400 --> 00:36:49,560 Speaker 1: going into and know yourself, know what your your your 777 00:36:49,600 --> 00:36:51,520 Speaker 1: go to move is what move works for you the best, 778 00:36:51,719 --> 00:36:53,160 Speaker 1: but your kind of move want to be off of that. 779 00:36:53,239 --> 00:36:54,399 Speaker 1: You know a lot of things run through your head, 780 00:36:54,440 --> 00:36:55,759 Speaker 1: but you don't want to get to a point where 781 00:36:55,760 --> 00:36:57,280 Speaker 1: you know you're thinking too much and then it slows 782 00:36:57,320 --> 00:36:59,600 Speaker 1: up the passwords because you're trying to anticipate him giving 783 00:36:59,600 --> 00:37:01,759 Speaker 1: you something it's not gonna be there. So um, I 784 00:37:01,840 --> 00:37:03,920 Speaker 1: think just you know, just repetition only helps for us, 785 00:37:03,960 --> 00:37:06,400 Speaker 1: you know, being out of it with all season ots 786 00:37:06,520 --> 00:37:08,399 Speaker 1: was good too, you know, but just actually being in past, 787 00:37:08,480 --> 00:37:10,560 Speaker 1: you know, guys with a quarterback back there, um, it 788 00:37:10,640 --> 00:37:12,320 Speaker 1: helps everything out and get us a better feel for 789 00:37:12,400 --> 00:37:14,239 Speaker 1: the for the quarterback. And I want to rush. Okay, 790 00:37:14,239 --> 00:37:16,280 Speaker 1: I started this segment last week. I think it's pretty 791 00:37:16,280 --> 00:37:19,160 Speaker 1: good because it makes guys think a little bit. I'm 792 00:37:19,200 --> 00:37:24,560 Speaker 1: gonna ask you to say something nice about Lovey Smith's beard. 793 00:37:26,400 --> 00:37:28,719 Speaker 1: Hey man, love you.

Awesome guy, 833 00:39:02,120 --> 00:39:05,160 Speaker 1: awesome interview and found out we had a lot of 834 00:39:05,480 --> 00:39:09,160 Speaker 1: close connections because of our time at Jacksonville, Florida. You've 835 00:39:09,200 --> 00:39:12,600 Speaker 1: done a really nice job this camp. Man. What's been 836 00:39:12,640 --> 00:39:14,719 Speaker 1: the key? I know, last year so tough. I mean 837 00:39:14,920 --> 00:39:17,480 Speaker 1: you had draft prep, but you really didn't and then 838 00:39:17,480 --> 00:39:20,040 Speaker 1: you gotta jump right into season or no preseason games. 839 00:39:20,680 --> 00:39:22,440 Speaker 1: How different is this year? Ben? To have a full 840 00:39:22,480 --> 00:39:24,880 Speaker 1: offseason to get out here, then half preseason games and 841 00:39:24,960 --> 00:39:26,920 Speaker 1: three you got coming up? How different is this offseason 842 00:39:27,040 --> 00:39:29,920 Speaker 1: from last year's even close? And all? Oh, it's completely different. 843 00:39:30,000 --> 00:39:32,080 Speaker 1: And I mean this is huge. I mean I really 844 00:39:32,120 --> 00:39:33,960 Speaker 1: did feel bad for some of the rookies last year 845 00:39:33,960 --> 00:39:36,320 Speaker 1: because now this offseason I was like, I didn't have 846 00:39:36,360 --> 00:39:38,160 Speaker 1: it rookie year, so I'm gonna take full advantage of 847 00:39:38,200 --> 00:39:40,880 Speaker 1: this one. So, I mean I was here pretty much 848 00:39:40,920 --> 00:39:43,880 Speaker 1: all offseason just wanting to get strong or no the players, 849 00:39:44,160 --> 00:39:46,239 Speaker 1: and a lot of that I was getting stronger learning 850 00:39:46,280 --> 00:39:48,279 Speaker 1: the players, you know, I was building confidence, and I 851 00:39:48,360 --> 00:39:50,520 Speaker 1: think that went a long way as the year progressed. 852 00:39:50,600 --> 00:39:52,520 Speaker 1: I mean, doing scout team pretty much the whole year, 853 00:39:52,920 --> 00:39:54,759 Speaker 1: I was slowly able to build each week kind of 854 00:39:54,800 --> 00:39:57,560 Speaker 1: build out confidence going into the offseason. Those last couple 855 00:39:57,600 --> 00:40:00,600 Speaker 1: of games where you got to start, first of all, 856 00:40:00,600 --> 00:40:03,080 Speaker 1: that had to be pretty damn cool to get starts 857 00:40:03,120 --> 00:40:05,399 Speaker 1: in the NFL. But how important was that you mentioned 858 00:40:05,440 --> 00:40:08,279 Speaker 1: were confidence? How important were those two games before your 859 00:40:08,320 --> 00:40:10,839 Speaker 1: confidence heading into the off season. Yeah, you know, going 860 00:40:10,920 --> 00:40:12,719 Speaker 1: into those games, there was a bunch of unknown you know, 861 00:40:12,760 --> 00:40:15,120 Speaker 1: because I didn't have those preseason games. It was really 862 00:40:15,200 --> 00:40:18,080 Speaker 1: my first live reps. And you know, playing in those games, 863 00:40:18,120 --> 00:40:20,080 Speaker 1: you know, I definitely had some struggling moments. But you 864 00:40:20,120 --> 00:40:22,640 Speaker 1: know I thought to myself after to go those games, 865 00:40:22,680 --> 00:40:24,719 Speaker 1: I proved to myself that I could play in this league. 866 00:40:25,080 --> 00:40:27,399 Speaker 1: And you know, I carried that thought with me going 867 00:40:27,400 --> 00:40:30,440 Speaker 1: into the off season. So last year as a rookie, 868 00:40:30,520 --> 00:40:33,359 Speaker 1: obviously veterans make rookies do all kinds of wild things. 869 00:40:33,680 --> 00:40:35,480 Speaker 1: Do you still have to do all those things? And 870 00:40:35,600 --> 00:40:37,279 Speaker 1: do you still have to do them now? Because last 871 00:40:37,320 --> 00:40:39,920 Speaker 1: year was sort of a rookie Discount's definite to do them. 872 00:40:40,480 --> 00:40:43,160 Speaker 1: That's a good question. You know, I still got it 873 00:40:43,239 --> 00:40:44,960 Speaker 1: pretty good even though I didn't have a bunch of 874 00:40:45,080 --> 00:40:48,120 Speaker 1: the off season last year. But I'm off the hook now. 875 00:40:48,719 --> 00:40:50,480 Speaker 1: I'm trying to take care of our two guys that 876 00:40:50,600 --> 00:40:52,839 Speaker 1: we have now, trying not to try to help them out, 877 00:40:52,880 --> 00:40:54,920 Speaker 1: give them advice whenever I can. But you know, it's 878 00:40:55,000 --> 00:40:58,440 Speaker 1: tough being a rookie. Okay. I asked Max Sharping about this, 879 00:40:58,600 --> 00:41:00,960 Speaker 1: and you can get back at maxon just a little bit. 880 00:41:01,840 --> 00:41:05,359 Speaker 1: The mustache. Okay, you gotta explain the mustache and how 881 00:41:05,400 --> 00:41:06,680 Speaker 1: it came out because you came here, you didn't have 882 00:41:06,719 --> 00:41:08,920 Speaker 1: the mustache. Now you got the mustache. I don't know. 883 00:41:09,040 --> 00:41:11,000 Speaker 1: Is it kind of a kind of a Samson thing. 884 00:41:11,080 --> 00:41:12,680 Speaker 1: You can't cut it now because that's where all your 885 00:41:12,719 --> 00:41:15,440 Speaker 1: power comes from, you know. So the mustache was a 886 00:41:15,560 --> 00:41:20,000 Speaker 1: rookie thing. So one of our players last year, he 887 00:41:20,080 --> 00:41:21,960 Speaker 1: looked at me. I had the resemblance of a mustache. 888 00:41:22,000 --> 00:41:24,120 Speaker 1: I said, you know what, You're not shaving that all year. 889 00:41:24,719 --> 00:41:28,040 Speaker 1: I was like, okay, season ended. I just kind of 890 00:41:28,080 --> 00:41:29,520 Speaker 1: took a look in the mirror. I was like, it's 891 00:41:29,600 --> 00:41:32,239 Speaker 1: not going anywhere. So you know, I kept it going. 892 00:41:33,239 --> 00:41:35,799 Speaker 1: I know, my mom isn't a huge fan, but I'm 893 00:41:35,800 --> 00:41:37,799 Speaker 1: sticking with it for a little bit. Look, there are 894 00:41:37,800 --> 00:41:39,120 Speaker 1: a lot of things moms are not going to be 895 00:41:39,239 --> 00:41:41,640 Speaker 1: fans of, you know, definitely a mustache. And I do this. 896 00:41:41,920 --> 00:41:43,920 Speaker 1: If I walked into the house with the mustache right now, 897 00:41:44,000 --> 00:41:46,120 Speaker 1: I think my wife would be right back out. I 898 00:41:46,200 --> 00:41:48,440 Speaker 1: started this with Max. I'm gonna start with you. It's 899 00:41:48,440 --> 00:41:52,600 Speaker 1: called say something nice about and I'm gonna start with 900 00:41:52,760 --> 00:41:56,279 Speaker 1: the guy who told me about the mustache and said 901 00:41:56,320 --> 00:41:58,080 Speaker 1: that you kind of flipped it on his head, being 902 00:41:58,239 --> 00:42:01,000 Speaker 1: very intelligent by the way doing so. Say something nice 903 00:42:01,000 --> 00:42:07,040 Speaker 1: about Max Sharping. Uh, the smartest guy I know. He Uh, 904 00:42:07,760 --> 00:42:11,560 Speaker 1: he knows the offense inside and out. If anybody has 905 00:42:11,600 --> 00:42:13,279 Speaker 1: a question, you know who to look to, it's Max. 906 00:42:14,239 --> 00:42:18,960 Speaker 1: Say something nice about Max Sharping's beard. I'm kidding, don't 907 00:42:19,000 --> 00:42:21,600 Speaker 1: don't do that, Okay right now? Yeah, there he is. 908 00:42:21,680 --> 00:42:24,960 Speaker 1: He knows, he knows exactly what I'm asking right now, exactly. 909 00:42:25,320 --> 00:42:29,680 Speaker 1: Say something nice about Laramy Tuns. Best athlete on the table. 910 00:42:30,640 --> 00:42:33,320 Speaker 1: It's amazing.

He brings that intensity. 914 00:42:47,239 --> 00:42:49,719 Speaker 1: I asked Charlie about NC State too, but he wasn't 915 00:42:49,800 --> 00:42:52,120 Speaker 1: much in move talking, and I don't blame it big 916 00:42:52,160 --> 00:42:56,440 Speaker 1: thanks to him.
