Speaker 1: It's finally here. Bigger, faster, stronger. It's time to put

2
00:00:05,640 --> 00:00:14,160
Speaker 1: on the pads. Faster, quicker, more agile, and make some noise. Wow,

Speaker 1: street where the Honday Texans radio studio today. I love

12
00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:58,880
Speaker 1: at Abel football and air conditioning as well, Yes, almost equally.

13
00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:01,720
Speaker 1: I mean, don't make you pick. Do not make me

14
00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:04,440
Speaker 1: select between one or the other. Okay, if you live

15
00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:07,160
Speaker 1: in the North, you know how air conditioning you only

16
00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:09,000
Speaker 1: need it like five days a year and the rest

17
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:12,360
Speaker 1: of the time you're fine. But here a little bit longer. Anyway,

18
00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:14,840
Speaker 1: we're inside because they have a day off today where

19
00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:16,400
Speaker 1: you have a lot of stuff to get to today,

20
00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:18,360
Speaker 1: we're gonna take an early glimpse at the fifty three

21
00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:22,120
Speaker 1: some real tight position groups that that need a long

22
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:24,320
Speaker 1: look by this coaching staff. And I'm sure that's some

23
00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:26,560
Speaker 1: of the stuff they're going over today. Mark Vandamer and

24
00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:28,360
Speaker 1: John Harris with you, by the way, and John McClean

25
00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:30,240
Speaker 1: is gonna be with us, and maybe a little overtime

26
00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:32,920
Speaker 1: from the General because he's coming in. He's coming in

27
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:36,360
Speaker 1: live here in the building, and it's gonna be big.

28
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:38,200
Speaker 1: I think he's gonna meet with the coaches. No he's not.

29
00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:41,480
Speaker 1: He's not meeting with the coaches. I think that what

30
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:43,520
Speaker 1: you need to do. No, he's not gonna do that,

31
00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:46,240
Speaker 1: No he's not. I thought for today we could break

32
00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:48,160
Speaker 1: down running backs because that seemed like it was a

33
00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:51,880
Speaker 1: big talking point yesterday. So for a couple of days,

34
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:57,200
Speaker 1: I know, and I think because when Bill Brian stood

35
00:01:57,240 --> 00:01:59,040
Speaker 1: up there and he talked about, you know, with the

36
00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:01,080
Speaker 1: General fact we'll get here thoughts on that because the

37
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:03,320
Speaker 1: General said, well, you know who we're gonna be your

38
00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:05,280
Speaker 1: guys after your top two, and Bill said, well who

39
00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:08,120
Speaker 1: you're the top two? And General didn't back down. He said, well,

40
00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:13,480
Speaker 1: Miller informant, he's w Miller yeah, so it's and it's

41
00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:15,520
Speaker 1: been an interesting group to watch. I think that's our

42
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:18,120
Speaker 1: group to break down at nine o'clock. Alright, well, okay,

43
00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:20,120
Speaker 1: but I have a homework assignment for you between now

44
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:21,959
Speaker 1: and nine o'clock. Oh boy, all right, so this is

45
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:25,000
Speaker 1: gonna be tough. You gotta tell me how many of

46
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:27,760
Speaker 1: these guys I want to really figure out the special

47
00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:31,000
Speaker 1: teams thing. It's funny with special teams Johnny, because we

48
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:32,639
Speaker 1: look and when you and I had a little argument

49
00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:34,919
Speaker 1: about not an argument, but like a little mini debate

50
00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:37,359
Speaker 1: about special teams and how many guys on the roster

51
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:41,079
Speaker 1: figure into this whole thing when they practice special teams

52
00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:44,839
Speaker 1: at practice. To me, that is the most boring part

53
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:47,720
Speaker 1: of NFL practice Special teams. And I'm sure to Brad

54
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:51,160
Speaker 1: seely that is the most exciting thing you can of course,

55
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:54,160
Speaker 1: it's his area, right, and it's fun to see, oh,

56
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:57,280
Speaker 1: who's returning this kick? Because they rotate guys. It's training camp.

57
00:02:57,320 --> 00:02:59,600
Speaker 1: They're trying to get a look at different people, but

58
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:02,519
Speaker 1: they can't. I mean, you talk about not being able

59
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:05,639
Speaker 1: to simulate game situations, you cannot even get close to

60
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:09,280
Speaker 1: it on special teams. It's just all lining guys up

61
00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:11,320
Speaker 1: in the choreography. I use that word a lot, maybe

62
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:13,720
Speaker 1: too much, but I do so get over it. So

63
00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:16,600
Speaker 1: to me, I just want to see how many guys

64
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:20,320
Speaker 1: figure into special teams because he's right, Bill O'Brien's right

65
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:23,000
Speaker 1: when he talks about special teams, is going to determine

66
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:24,959
Speaker 1: a lot of this folks, Like we talked about it

67
00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:29,080
Speaker 1: yesterday with the with wide receivers and DeAndre Carter is

68
00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:32,720
Speaker 1: he is his returnability going to overcome whatever might be.

69
00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:35,240
Speaker 1: I'm not saying anything's lacking as a slot guy backing

70
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:38,520
Speaker 1: up Kiki Qut, but if that were the case, how

71
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:40,480
Speaker 1: do you balance all that out? I think there's a

72
00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:43,000
Speaker 1: lot to get to, no question. And I think the

73
00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:47,680
Speaker 1: other aspect becomes how many guys, like last year's team,

74
00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:51,000
Speaker 1: how many guys were strictly on the forty six man

75
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:54,440
Speaker 1: game day roster or fifty three man roster, but forty

76
00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:58,760
Speaker 1: six man roster game day strictly because there are core

77
00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:02,440
Speaker 1: four special teamers. How many of those guys can you

78
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:06,360
Speaker 1: afford to have on the field. Because when you think

79
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:09,360
Speaker 1: of the teams throughout the league, you know, I think

80
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:11,520
Speaker 1: about the Patriots, they always had Nate Ebner, and they

81
00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:15,640
Speaker 1: had Matt Slater. Those two were just strictly special towns

82
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:19,320
Speaker 1: inside of your specialist punter, kicker, launchper. But in a disaster,

83
00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:22,080
Speaker 1: you gotta be able to do the job, right Slater.

84
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:24,000
Speaker 1: If the Patriots has to be able to play some

85
00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:26,360
Speaker 1: wide out, you don't want him to right if you're them.

86
00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:28,640
Speaker 1: Although I'd love to see him as their number one guy,

87
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:34,200
Speaker 1: Johnny was something that tells me if he ended up

88
00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:38,200
Speaker 1: being the number one guy, he catch like eighty five touchdowns.

89
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:43,520
Speaker 1: Thank you, backfire my little backfire on me. I interviewed him,

90
00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:45,839
Speaker 1: by the way, at the Pro Bowl, yeah, back when

91
00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:48,919
Speaker 1: Obi was first hired back in twenty fourteen, because I

92
00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:51,200
Speaker 1: wanted to get a Patriot reaction. He said nice things

93
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:54,000
Speaker 1: and he's a he's a good dude. But gosh, how

94
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:56,880
Speaker 1: about that. That was twenty fourteen. He's still on the squad,

95
00:04:57,200 --> 00:05:01,000
Speaker 1: still making Pro Bowls. I'm sure Bill talks about him

96
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:03,800
Speaker 1: in these meetings. Do you know he talks about Matthew

97
00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:06,360
Speaker 1: Slater in these meetings? There's no question, because guys lived

98
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:09,680
Speaker 1: a whole NFL life just on those special team's prowess.

99
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:11,640
Speaker 1: When you think of a guy like Matt Slater and

100
00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:13,479
Speaker 1: I don't even didn't think we talk about that. People

101
00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:15,880
Speaker 1: are like, who believe me? He's been with that squad,

102
00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:18,840
Speaker 1: he's been a whole ball or in special teams. He's

103
00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:21,800
Speaker 1: got at least three rigs. He's he's a captain. He's been,

104
00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:24,520
Speaker 1: he's been a captain. He's one of the focal points

105
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:26,720
Speaker 1: in that locker room. And he was drafted in a

106
00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:29,960
Speaker 1: late run as a wide receiver UCLA. But they looked

107
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:32,400
Speaker 1: at him and said, you're you're a special teams guy.

108
00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:34,839
Speaker 1: And he has been kind of their key special teams

109
00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:37,160
Speaker 1: guy for years and the teams have to account for him.

110
00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:39,840
Speaker 1: But those guys last year, you know what thinks about

111
00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:43,440
Speaker 1: being a guy like Matthew Slater. Every year, every year

112
00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:46,000
Speaker 1: it's good at it's bad. It's good from a oh,

113
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:48,440
Speaker 1: look at the competition standpoint, it's bad from a Matthew

114
00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:51,880
Speaker 1: Slater family standpoint. Every year he's I bet he fears

115
00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:54,640
Speaker 1: getting cut. Absolutely, He's like, no one's gonna take my spot.

116
00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:57,200
Speaker 1: But they get a young buck in there who's gonna

117
00:05:57,279 --> 00:05:59,600
Speaker 1: ball out on special teams and be a slightly better

118
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:02,680
Speaker 1: wider receiver if he can match what Slater does, which

119
00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:05,280
Speaker 1: might be difficult in their eyes. And I don't want

120
00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:07,719
Speaker 1: to beliebor the Patriots point here, but the point is this.

121
00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:10,480
Speaker 1: You said, how many guys are in that forty six,

122
00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:12,800
Speaker 1: never mind the fifty three, the forty six who are

123
00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:15,560
Speaker 1: just there for special teams. And I went on to say,

124
00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:17,240
Speaker 1: they have to be able to play in a pinch.

125
00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:19,080
Speaker 1: Buddy how has to be able to carry the ball

126
00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:22,680
Speaker 1: and know the path protection if they get decimated at

127
00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:24,960
Speaker 1: running back through the course of a game. You have

128
00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:27,160
Speaker 1: Brian Peters who was on the squad for a while.

129
00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:29,480
Speaker 1: He has to know how to play inside lineback. Did

130
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:30,919
Speaker 1: he had to go in there a few times and

131
00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:33,159
Speaker 1: he did play. And you know, and they've done different things.

132
00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:35,760
Speaker 1: Peter Callum Bays had to move to inside linebacker. They've

133
00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:39,520
Speaker 1: done different things. Who else Scarlett Scarlett, I mean Scarlett

134
00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:42,360
Speaker 1: started last year in twenty eighteen, and he was the

135
00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:44,680
Speaker 1: core fourth special teamer. He was there with Buddy Howe

136
00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:48,120
Speaker 1: and Joe Webb and Johnson Battamossy and at More. They

137
00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:49,920
Speaker 1: were all kind of this group of five. I mean

138
00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:52,720
Speaker 1: they were on every special team. Dylan Cole. When Dylan

139
00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:55,320
Speaker 1: was healthy, they were all those special teams together. And

140
00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:58,320
Speaker 1: then some injury started taking place and Brennan had to

141
00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:01,120
Speaker 1: go get some reps on defense. Then they got banged

142
00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:04,839
Speaker 1: up inside linebacker when Zach went down, So then Brennan

143
00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:06,520
Speaker 1: had to go in there an inside linebacker and get

144
00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:08,400
Speaker 1: some repsid inside linebacker. Remember we had to pick at

145
00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:12,840
Speaker 1: Washington right before that, and that was an inside linebacker.

146
00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:15,600
Speaker 1: And you know, he's gone back through his natural position

147
00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:18,840
Speaker 1: out on the edge this year because Dylan's healthy, He's

148
00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:20,520
Speaker 1: acts healthy, and you know, they feel pretty good about it.

149
00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:23,160
Speaker 1: They've got it inside linebacker, so he's gone back to

150
00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:25,920
Speaker 1: the outside. But you know that's obviously what you you

151
00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:28,640
Speaker 1: have to be able to do. But yeah, you're right.

152
00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:33,320
Speaker 1: It got like Matthew Slater every year. But he understands

153
00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:34,880
Speaker 1: his role. And I think that's the one thing when

154
00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:37,320
Speaker 1: we talked to Bill and we talked to the coaches

155
00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:42,880
Speaker 1: and even the players, understanding what your role is, My

156
00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:45,120
Speaker 1: role is this, And I think A J. Moore is

157
00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:47,320
Speaker 1: a great example that A J. Moore knew last year

158
00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:50,200
Speaker 1: that his role was to flat on special teams and

159
00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:53,160
Speaker 1: make something happen on those four special teams. Yeah, go

160
00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:56,360
Speaker 1: be the blocker, Go make a tackle, Go tie up

161
00:07:56,400 --> 00:07:58,560
Speaker 1: three blockers, and let somebody else make the tack, making

162
00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:02,080
Speaker 1: the impact on special teams because defensively probably not gonna

163
00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:04,720
Speaker 1: happen yet, Tyram Matthew at safety. You had Andre Hawe

164
00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:07,440
Speaker 1: at safety, at Justin Reid as a rookie. You even

165
00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:10,280
Speaker 1: had Kareem Neck could go back there. You brought in

166
00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:12,160
Speaker 1: a guy like Mike Tyson back there. He was not

167
00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:14,200
Speaker 1: gonna get time at safety. You didn't really know the defense.

168
00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:16,360
Speaker 1: He had just gotten here, but he spent the year

169
00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:19,720
Speaker 1: digesting the defense and now it comes back and he's

170
00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:21,680
Speaker 1: got to be one of the four guys at safety.

171
00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:23,440
Speaker 1: So he's got to be ready to play. And I

172
00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:26,760
Speaker 1: think he's showing that on the field. But he got

173
00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:29,000
Speaker 1: on the field and he's getting reps on the field

174
00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:31,800
Speaker 1: in large part because he killed it on special teams

175
00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:33,760
Speaker 1: last year. But he knew what his role was, you know,

176
00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:35,559
Speaker 1: and that's huge for those guys. You know what he

177
00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:38,000
Speaker 1: appears to have just based on practice. So we'll see

178
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:42,400
Speaker 1: if it translates into games. Bald magnetism, that's key bald

179
00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:46,520
Speaker 1: and some guys have it, you know, Reid has it. Yeah,

180
00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:49,800
Speaker 1: Justin Reid has it. Absolutely. Sometimes it's not even I

181
00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:53,160
Speaker 1: made a tremendous play for a pick. It's I just

182
00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:54,960
Speaker 1: was in the right place at the right time, and

183
00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:57,800
Speaker 1: I got the caram for the interception. Quintin Demps when

184
00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:00,280
Speaker 1: he had seven picks for this team. Andre how always

185
00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:01,640
Speaker 1: seem to be around us. Now the one he made

186
00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:02,959
Speaker 1: in the back of the end zone last year? What

187
00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:05,199
Speaker 1: game was that? The Browns? Oh, that was a great

188
00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:07,840
Speaker 1: Baker went. Baker went because he was like a receiver.

189
00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:09,600
Speaker 1: He's the deepest guy and he's had to get the

190
00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:12,520
Speaker 1: toes in and everything. It's a great pick. So I'm

191
00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:14,600
Speaker 1: not saying they don't have ability, but they have that

192
00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:17,959
Speaker 1: extra For some reason, the ball finds them and it's awesome.

193
00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:20,640
Speaker 1: All right, let's get to some hot reads here. We're

194
00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:25,200
Speaker 1: at studio today, day off Billow, Brian and the staff.

195
00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:27,640
Speaker 1: What are they doing today? Players are off? Look, I

196
00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:29,880
Speaker 1: was just in the dining room and guys are trickling

197
00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:32,360
Speaker 1: in and they're doing treatment and weightlifting and things like that.

198
00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:34,240
Speaker 1: But it's a good day to get off their feet.

199
00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:36,559
Speaker 1: But the coaches, they might be off their feet, but

200
00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:39,959
Speaker 1: they're grinding. Coaching staff and then all the all the departments,

201
00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:41,679
Speaker 1: you know, we all get together and talk about where

202
00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:44,480
Speaker 1: we're at right now. Everybody from the training room to

203
00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:47,640
Speaker 1: the scouting staff to equipment room, we all will have

204
00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:50,000
Speaker 1: meetings during the day and there's a lot of great

205
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:53,360
Speaker 1: communication in the organization going on. It's awesome. And then

206
00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:55,319
Speaker 1: with the players, it'll be a big rest day or

207
00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:58,440
Speaker 1: a rehab day, get caught up on some film, come

208
00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:00,800
Speaker 1: on in and you know, obviously they don't have to

209
00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:03,280
Speaker 1: be in here, but um they will open a weight

210
00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:06,560
Speaker 1: room for a region deal and all those types of things.

211
00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:08,679
Speaker 1: So it's a it's a it's a good day for everybody.

212
00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:10,720
Speaker 1: You know what, when I get home at the end

213
00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:12,880
Speaker 1: of the day, if I just want to kick my

214
00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:15,079
Speaker 1: feet up and watch TV and not do anything around

215
00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:17,160
Speaker 1: the house, I'm just gonna say, I need a region.

216
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:20,840
Speaker 1: It's a region, Johnny. That's one of those guys when

217
00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:23,000
Speaker 1: you get home at the end of the day and

218
00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:25,559
Speaker 1: or on the weekend you got the honey dudes or whatever,

224
00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:48,400
Speaker 1: All right, another hot read from yesterday and and this

225
00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:50,000
Speaker 1: was really great, great news. And this is why you

226
00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:51,680
Speaker 1: have to listen to the show, because we tell you

227
00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:54,040
Speaker 1: who's at practice, who's dressed, who's not. It was great

228
00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:56,040
Speaker 1: to see what on day one with the arm brace,

229
00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:58,600
Speaker 1: we reported that reported that. We let you know that

230
00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:03,680
Speaker 1: on this very program involves a guy we were just

231
00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:07,280
Speaker 1: talking about in the defensive backfield after a great rookie season.

232
00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:11,440
Speaker 1: He's back justin Reid after being on the nfive list

233
00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:13,280
Speaker 1: for a few days. But he's rare to go that

234
00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:15,160
Speaker 1: spent a lot of time with Ryan Clark, he's one

235
00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:17,720
Speaker 1: of my guys, former safety for the Steelers thirteen years

236
00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:20,280
Speaker 1: in the league. Was training with guys like you know,

237
00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:23,400
Speaker 1: Landing Collins and Chaser Everett. There's really like fourteen of

238
00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:25,480
Speaker 1: us over in Arizona. We spent a lot of time

239
00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:28,480
Speaker 1: on footwork, We did film review. Personally, I had a

240
00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:31,280
Speaker 1: lot of conversations with my older brother Eric Reid and

241
00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:34,120
Speaker 1: we just talked ball and you know, he's actually happens

242
00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:35,760
Speaker 1: to be in the conference of the teams that we're

243
00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:37,360
Speaker 1: playing for the games with so I get to talk

244
00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:39,880
Speaker 1: ball with him about the team's upcoming on our schedule,

245
00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:43,560
Speaker 1: like New Orleans, Atlanta, Carolina themselves in Tampa. So we've

246
00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:46,000
Speaker 1: really just been diving in on the mental side of

247
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:49,480
Speaker 1: the game, more handling myself physically, and my big focus

248
00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:51,280
Speaker 1: for the all season was really my legs because I

249
00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:53,559
Speaker 1: want to be even more explosive out of my breaks

250
00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:56,240
Speaker 1: in order to cover that half yard because we all

251
00:11:56,280 --> 00:11:57,920
Speaker 1: know football is the game of inches. You know those

252
00:11:57,960 --> 00:11:59,640
Speaker 1: inches make a difference, So I want to be able

253
00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:01,360
Speaker 1: to put my something the right position to make plays.

254
00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:04,839
Speaker 1: Justin Reid, he has not missed leg day. Leg Day

255
00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:06,800
Speaker 1: important to all these guys, and he surely has not

256
00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:09,160
Speaker 1: missed his The other nugget out of there, Eric Reid,

257
00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:14,640
Speaker 1: with the Panthers right and playing that nc NFC South,

258
00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:17,840
Speaker 1: the division that the Texans are playing in the NFC,

259
00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:20,840
Speaker 1: that's great to get the intel from him. It's in

260
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:24,400
Speaker 1: Eric Reid's best interest to feed intel to brother when

261
00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:27,640
Speaker 1: he faces New Orleans, Atlanta, Tampa Bay. Now when they

262
00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:30,160
Speaker 1: match up against Carolina another story, but it's in this

263
00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:32,800
Speaker 1: best interest. Look, I'm gonna root for all those NFC

264
00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:37,080
Speaker 1: South teams against the AFC South teams, and it goes

265
00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:39,439
Speaker 1: the other way too. When the Panthers, it's it's in

266
00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:42,360
Speaker 1: our best interest for Justin to share as much as

267
00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:46,640
Speaker 1: he's got the Colts, the Titans and the Jags with Eric. Hey,

268
00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:48,400
Speaker 1: when you face this team, this is what you know.

269
00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:50,480
Speaker 1: So it's gonna be a good sharing situation. How about

270
00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:54,439
Speaker 1: the fact that ten percent of the starting free safeties

271
00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:58,960
Speaker 1: in this league came from one high school. Eric, Eric

272
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:01,640
Speaker 1: and Justin and Landing Collins all went to the same

273
00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:04,920
Speaker 1: high school in Baton Rouge. That's amazing. I mean that's

274
00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:07,240
Speaker 1: incredible to think about three of them from the same

275
00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:10,600
Speaker 1: high school. Very cool stuff. I mean, that's it's it's amazing.

276
00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:13,680
Speaker 1: I mean those three players. The secondary coach is like, yeah,

277
00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:16,520
Speaker 1: I'm really good. You think did Landing Collins say something

278
00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:20,200
Speaker 1: about Dave Getleman about warm ups and be careful? I

279
00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:25,520
Speaker 1: don't know. Yeah, he may have. I mean he may have. Man.

280
00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:30,240
Speaker 1: I saw Dana Collins on the NFL Network's Training Camp

281
00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:33,280
Speaker 1: show and he was after practice and he was just

282
00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:37,000
Speaker 1: on set and there's some guys you just see and

283
00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:39,320
Speaker 1: you're you have I have body envy, and I'm like,

284
00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:42,360
Speaker 1: oh my god, landing. Collins has built like Mark Chiselt

285
00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:46,480
Speaker 1: of Marble. Yeah, he said, um, he'd run over Dave Getleman,

286
00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:50,400
Speaker 1: So be careful in that. Is that a threat? I mean,

287
00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:53,760
Speaker 1: can you like arrest somebody? Well, I mean he made it,

288
00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:56,640
Speaker 1: he made it, he verbalized it. Ye get a warning

289

00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:53,440
Speaker 1: been different, right, Andre Howe retires Tyrann Matthews in Kansas City,

307
00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:56,520
Speaker 1: so you pick up to Sean Gibson as a free

308
00:14:56,560 --> 00:15:01,360
Speaker 1: agent from the Jacksonville Jaguars formerly Cleveland as well. And

309
00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:03,920
Speaker 1: I don't know if you've heard from him, folks, but

310
00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:07,480
Speaker 1: he's definitely interesting. I like these guys that Jolilla die

311
00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:09,680
Speaker 1: who that wasn't under the radar a little bit of

312
00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:12,240
Speaker 1: a later signing. It was. It was, it was later

313
00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:15,800
Speaker 1: in the process, and it was I want it was

314
00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:19,720
Speaker 1: definitely after the draft. So when they and it was

315
00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:23,280
Speaker 1: so Honre How retired before the draft, so people thought, well,

316
00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:27,000
Speaker 1: you know, they'll address the safety position before that, and

317
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:31,800
Speaker 1: they didn't in the draft. Now, some people surmised in

318
00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:35,440
Speaker 1: the draft community that well, because there was no more

319
00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:37,640
Speaker 1: tire Matthew honre How to retire, that maybe they would

320
00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:40,200
Speaker 1: move Lone Johnson to safety. I do not think that

321
00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:42,280
Speaker 1: is the play. I don't. I do not think that

322
00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:45,640
Speaker 1: is going to happen. And so we went into the

323
00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:49,520
Speaker 1: off season with Sean Gibson, Justin Reid and a few

324
00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:53,160
Speaker 1: other guys, and then Jolia Die became available and they

325
00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:56,280
Speaker 1: jumped all over it, and I just remember thinking this

326
00:15:56,400 --> 00:15:59,440
Speaker 1: could be a pretty kind of sneaky hot signing. See,

327
00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:02,560
Speaker 1: he started, did sixteen games for a team that a

328
00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:04,640
Speaker 1: lot of people feel is going to go to the

329
00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:06,520
Speaker 1: Super Bowl this year, and they kind of forget that

330
00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:08,880
Speaker 1: he's not on the team anymore. It's one of those deals, right, right,

331
00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:12,640
Speaker 1: they want a playoff game, they're a good squad, and

332
00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:15,800
Speaker 1: he was a starting safety for this team, and you

333
00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:18,400
Speaker 1: don't even have him penciled in the start necessarily, right,

334
00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:19,840
Speaker 1: And there's a lot of different things you can do

335
00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:23,680
Speaker 1: with them. And I've said this before. I was I

336
00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:26,000
Speaker 1: was not in front of my TV at the start

337
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:29,600
Speaker 1: of the Wildcard game Baltimore in LA because it was

338
00:16:29,680 --> 00:16:31,880
Speaker 1: clean out day for us, and so I was on

339
00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:34,560
Speaker 1: the way home and I was listening to the broadcast.

340
00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:36,520
Speaker 1: And as I was listening to the broadcasting the way home,

341
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:39,720
Speaker 1: I kept hearing them say the Chargers are playing seven

342
00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:42,600
Speaker 1: defensive backs. They're playing seven defensive backs, And I'm like, WHOA,

343
00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:44,880
Speaker 1: how does that look? What do they look? So I

344
00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:48,119
Speaker 1: get home and as I'm watching him, like who's playing linebacker,

345
00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:52,120
Speaker 1: and it's Adrian Phillips, the safety end. Jalilata they played

346
00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:57,400
Speaker 1: inside linebacker, so you went back seven. So they played

347
00:16:57,400 --> 00:16:59,480
Speaker 1: their front four with Melvin Ingram at, Joey Boston and

348
00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:01,080
Speaker 1: their two in. So they're trying to do that so

349
00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:03,720
Speaker 1: they can keep up with Jackson when he runs exactly.

350
00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:05,240
Speaker 1: And that was kind of that was kind of a point,

351
00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:08,000
Speaker 1: and they did a really good job with it and

352
00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:10,000
Speaker 1: got a lead. They had a big lead, and then

353
00:17:10,040 --> 00:17:12,080
Speaker 1: it kind of plays to your advantage because now you

354
00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:13,879
Speaker 1: got seven defensive backs in the field when you know,

355
00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:16,520
Speaker 1: Lamar's gotta throw the ball. But Lamar got him back

356
00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:19,080
Speaker 1: in the game. But point being, the defense was so

357
00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:23,480
Speaker 1: good and that day in large part because they've got

358
00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:29,520
Speaker 1: two safeties playing linebacker, and Jilila died didn't play safety

359
00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:32,439
Speaker 1: or played linebacker like a safety. He played linebacker like

360
00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:35,159
Speaker 1: a linebacker. So you've got some different things that you

361
00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:37,840
Speaker 1: can do when you go dime. I always think about

362
00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:39,639
Speaker 1: when we went dime a few years ago, Eddie Pleasant

363
00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:42,840
Speaker 1: would be that guy. And Eddie was the kind of

364
00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:47,080
Speaker 1: guy that when he was in college, you never knew

365
00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:49,080
Speaker 1: a position Eddie played. It was like he's a safety

366
00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:52,000
Speaker 1: as a linebacker, like which one is he? Well, the

367
00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:54,639
Speaker 1: dime linebacker spot was perfect for him because you're like,

368
00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:56,640
Speaker 1: he plays both, and he did a pretty good job

369
00:17:56,680 --> 00:17:58,920
Speaker 1: there for this Texans team for a while. For those

370
00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:03,320
Speaker 1: I don't know, dimesis defensive backs. Yes, seven dbs is dollar, right,

371
00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:04,840
Speaker 1: I think so. I think that's what they called. You

372
00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:06,640
Speaker 1: call it dollar. I think yeah, I think you called

373
00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:08,240
Speaker 1: it what happened in the fifty cent piece. Yeah, I

374
00:18:08,240 --> 00:18:10,760
Speaker 1: don't know what about Susan b Anthony dollars opposed to

375
00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:15,520
Speaker 1: a paper dollar. No, it's it's just dollar because there's yeah,

376
00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:18,200
Speaker 1: there's just a lot more defensive backs. We at one point,

377
00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:20,680
Speaker 1: I think it was in twenty fourteen, we put seven

378
00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:22,840
Speaker 1: defensive backs out on the field one time. I know

379
00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:25,320
Speaker 1: that was one time, but it was against the Eagles.

380
00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:28,360
Speaker 1: I remember counting the dbs. Well, when you have Cunninghammer

381
00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:31,440
Speaker 1: Coal out there, they have great coverage ability and that's

382
00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:34,640
Speaker 1: kind of it's not that but right along those lines.

383
00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:37,160
Speaker 1: But you're right, that's exactly right. That's exactly when when

384
00:18:37,160 --> 00:18:38,960
Speaker 1: they drafted Zach Cunningham. That was the first thing that

385
00:18:39,040 --> 00:18:42,120
Speaker 1: popped out. If Zach doesn't start immediately, that's a role

386
00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:44,679
Speaker 1: he's gonna jump into. When Dylan Cole's out in the field,

387
00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:48,320
Speaker 1: that's a role that he steps into. But now, depending

388
00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:50,840
Speaker 1: on who you're facing and how dangerous they're, three or

389
00:18:50,840 --> 00:18:53,040
Speaker 1: four wide receiver package ends up being or even five

390
00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:55,919
Speaker 1: wide receiver package. Maybe you want a safety on the field.

391
00:18:56,600 --> 00:18:58,399
Speaker 1: You do like having dalont in the field. You love

392
00:18:58,440 --> 00:19:00,280
Speaker 1: having Zach on the field, but maybe you have Dylan

393
00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:03,120
Speaker 1: and Zach Angelil. Maybe it's one of those situations where

394
00:19:03,160 --> 00:19:05,800
Speaker 1: you want to get you want to be ultra fast

395
00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:08,800
Speaker 1: in coverage. Maybe that's something you end up doing down

396
00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:10,159
Speaker 1: the road. There's just a lot of different things you

397
00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:12,320
Speaker 1: can do with the Die because he is using that

398
00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:14,560
Speaker 1: word again, the versatility word, with some people do want

399
00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:17,479
Speaker 1: to hear. But that's that's great in a veteran and

400
00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:19,840
Speaker 1: he's a guy that'll talk with anybody. Well. We have

401
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:22,440
Speaker 1: guys on this roster who were really good at other

402
00:19:22,520 --> 00:19:25,280
Speaker 1: sports before, like Darren Fells was a pro basketball player

403
00:19:25,320 --> 00:19:27,960
Speaker 1: over seas. You have Kahale Wearing really good water polo

404
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:30,280
Speaker 1: player in high school and Jolilla Die not only good

405
00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:33,639
Speaker 1: at football, but good at football as well. Drew's dirty

406
00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:35,760
Speaker 1: does it with Drew Doherty. It's one of my favorite

407
00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:37,679
Speaker 1: guys to talk with because you're a hell of a

408
00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:40,520
Speaker 1: soccer player. Maybe not anymore, but at one time you

409
00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:42,679
Speaker 1: were great, weren't you? I was pretty good. I'd like

410
00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:44,879
Speaker 1: to say that. Tell us about that. There's more to

411
00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:47,960
Speaker 1: it than quote unquote being pretty good. Well, I started

412
00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:49,640
Speaker 1: when I was like three years old. My dad Gerdity

413
00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:53,240
Speaker 1: from West Africa, Gana, so that was our family first sport.

414
00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:56,399
Speaker 1: I played travel ball all the way up to eighteen

415
00:19:56,440 --> 00:19:59,720
Speaker 1: years old, played across seas and he played with against

416
00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:02,520
Speaker 1: co Terrica's you seventeen national team. And then when it

417
00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:04,240
Speaker 1: got down to when I was eighteen, which one did

418
00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:06,840
Speaker 1: I want to chose football to soccer my true love?

419
00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:09,199
Speaker 1: You know, with football being America's number one sport, I

420
00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:11,520
Speaker 1: chose football and it was a good choice because you

421
00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:13,680
Speaker 1: have been an excellent football player. So let's get into

422
00:20:13,720 --> 00:20:18,159
Speaker 1: these questions. What is your best football trait? I'm on physical.

423
00:20:18,280 --> 00:20:20,200
Speaker 1: I like to hit, I like to compose my will

424
00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:22,479
Speaker 1: and the passion that I play I played the game with.

425
00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:24,560
Speaker 1: I build a lot of energy and I think that

426
00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:26,760
Speaker 1: I'd like to say that my teammate's feet. Off of that,

427
00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:31,159
Speaker 1: which of your teammates is the messiest, the messiest? I

428
00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:33,280
Speaker 1: don't know that one yet. I think everyone's pretty pretty

429
00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:35,720
Speaker 1: clean for right now. It's early in campbell, so get

430
00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:37,679
Speaker 1: back to me on that. That's a good political answer.

431
00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:39,080
Speaker 1: I don't give it to you just because you're new,

432
00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:40,679
Speaker 1: but I'd depressed you on this if you'd have been

433
00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:42,439
Speaker 1: around the team a little bit longer. It was the

434
00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:45,120
Speaker 1: tightiest teammate so far. You think I think I am.

435
00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:48,120
Speaker 1: You know, my locker's very organized. I think I get

436
00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:52,120
Speaker 1: my OCD, want to have everything in order from my wife, Lindsay's.

437
00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:54,760
Speaker 1: She's that's grown on me from her. That's a good

438
00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:57,080
Speaker 1: type of OCD though, right, very good, very good. What's

439
00:20:57,080 --> 00:20:59,560
Speaker 1: your typical breakfast like on a training camp day for

440
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:03,160
Speaker 1: nhled eggs with spinach cheddar cheese on the top after

441
00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:06,719
Speaker 1: it scrambled, three slices of avocado, bacon, water, and orange juice.

442
00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:08,879
Speaker 1: I can see a little bit of this OCD because

443
00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:13,159
Speaker 1: most guys have just said bacon, eggs, toast fruit. You

444
00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:17,000
Speaker 1: were very specific, same meal every day. Favorite retired NFL

445
00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:20,159

Speaker 1: to say JJ Man. Just watching him, you know, from

458
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:50,560
Speaker 1: my outside, never being around him, to be in his

459
00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:52,200
Speaker 1: teammate now, just seeing how he works, how he goes

460
00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:54,400
Speaker 1: about his business, you know, all the success he's had

461
00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:56,639
Speaker 1: and how he still continues to work and grind the

462
00:21:56,680 --> 00:21:58,760
Speaker 1: way he does. So I think that'd be one of

463
00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:01,520
Speaker 1: the teammates. Teammates, it calms you down the most. Bad

464
00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:04,080
Speaker 1: emosey bad Emose. He has to be the teammate that

465
00:22:04,080 --> 00:22:05,760
Speaker 1: comes me down the most, always checks on me, asked

466
00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:09,840
Speaker 1: me how I'm doing, how's my spirit? Good guy, good mannerisms.

467
00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:13,280
Speaker 1: He's that guy you're saying this with a slight smile?

468
00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:16,040
Speaker 1: Is he also? You have the slightest sense of humor

469
00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:18,720
Speaker 1: on the team as well. He does. That's him. That's him.

470
00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:20,280
Speaker 1: If you know him, you know that's to be true.

471
00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:22,440
Speaker 1: He just did this a few days ago and got

472
00:22:22,480 --> 00:22:24,439
Speaker 1: us pretty good with some things. The best part of

473
00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:27,640
Speaker 1: training camp is just the commodity you build your teammates.

474
00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:30,080
Speaker 1: You know, obviously just working and brining and getting yourself

475
00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:33,119
Speaker 1: ready for week one um in the season, but the

476
00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:35,199
Speaker 1: commodity that you build your teammates. It's so much like

477
00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:36,840
Speaker 1: you here all day, so you get to know each

478
00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:39,080
Speaker 1: other and you build that bond in that brotherhood that

479
00:22:39,119 --> 00:22:41,080
Speaker 1: you go need when you're out there between those white lines.

480
00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:43,840
Speaker 1: What's your favorite TV show? Favorite show on Netflix, Hulu?

481
00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:46,600

482
00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:49,480
Speaker 1: The Shy Ozark. Me and my wife bench watched both

483
00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:51,200
Speaker 1: of those, and we're waiting for the new series of

00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:53,560
Speaker 1: Coming Out. So if the producers are those two see this,

485
00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:56,919
Speaker 1: let's get it moving. I love Ozark. I've finished those seasons.

486
00:22:56,960 --> 00:22:59,399
Speaker 1: I can't wait for the third. That guy finds a

487
00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:01,959
Speaker 1: way to sink deeper and deeper and deeper and get

488
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:04,560
Speaker 1: into more trouble each episode done every time. Man, it

489
00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:06,919
Speaker 1: keeps you coming back. Sure, how don't when you're growing up?

513
00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:15,439
Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys, and I forgive him for that. Yeah, but

517
00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:28,119
Speaker 1: he's gonna join us next. Gotta get his thoughts on

518
00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:30,800
Speaker 1: the running back situation some other things that he noticed

519
00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:33,480
Speaker 1: yesterday because we caught up with him before practice and

520
00:24:33,520 --> 00:24:37,440
Speaker 1: they had a spirited practice yesterday at the Houston Methodist

521
00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:40,320
Speaker 1: Training Center. Will break down the running backs as a

522
00:24:40,359 --> 00:24:43,280
Speaker 1: whole at nine o'clock and get some thoughts on the

523
00:24:43,320 --> 00:24:50,960
Speaker 1: fifty three. It's Texans Training Camp Live, Texans Radio Training Camp.

524
00:24:51,320 --> 00:24:57,040
Speaker 1: Welcome back to Texans Training Camp. Blood the Crime. You're

525
00:24:57,040 --> 00:24:59,760
Speaker 1: into the second week, but you're not really because it's

526
00:24:59,760 --> 00:25:02,200
Speaker 1: five practices in in a day off. But it just

527
00:25:02,280 --> 00:25:04,840
Speaker 1: feels like it because it began last Thursday. Anyway, you

528
00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:07,560
Speaker 1: get the point. The team will open the preseason a

529
00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:11,680
Speaker 1: week from tomorrow night. No, it's Thursday night, thurtees. The

530
00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:14,400
Speaker 1: days are running together, Johnny. I mean, you know, when

531
00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:16,360
Speaker 1: you're here every day of the week, you just like,

532
00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:19,640
Speaker 1: what is this now? When I was doing radio last night,

533
00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:21,760
Speaker 1: I got worried in the second segment. I was like,

534
00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:23,639
Speaker 1: I think I said I heard a segment. I was like,

535
00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:26,439
Speaker 1: did I say yesday? I did say Monday. I went

536
00:25:26,480 --> 00:25:28,760
Speaker 1: back and listen. I did say Monday. But I got

537
00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:30,800
Speaker 1: worried for a second, like they're just all kind of

538
00:25:30,880 --> 00:25:33,320
Speaker 1: running together. They are running together. But a week from Thursday,

539
00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:37,280
Speaker 1: the team opens at Green Bay Lambo Field. It'll be

540
00:25:37,359 --> 00:25:40,040
Speaker 1: live on ABC thirteen and you can stream it live

541
00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:42,160
Speaker 1: on the Texans App, and you can hear it right here,

542
00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:43,600
Speaker 1: and you can hear it on the Bowl one hundred

543
00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:46,440
Speaker 1: point three FM, and you can get smoke signals from

544
00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:48,359
Speaker 1: me from Lamba. No, I'm not gonna do that, but

545
00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:51,560
Speaker 1: you'll be able to see it, consume it, hear it

546
00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:54,840
Speaker 1: in a variety of ways. And John McClane you can

547
00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:57,920
Speaker 1: consume his content on the Houston Chronicle or right here

548
00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:00,760
Speaker 1: right now as he visits with us the Hunday Texans

549
00:26:00,800 --> 00:26:03,520
Speaker 1: Radio studio. Good morning, General, Good morning. And I think

550
00:26:03,560 --> 00:26:05,919
Speaker 1: if somebody slips up on the day, the listeners are

551
00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:09,239
Speaker 1: up to up to date on this stuff, like they

552
00:26:09,320 --> 00:26:12,439
Speaker 1: know exactly when it is. I know my friends who

553
00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:14,760
Speaker 1: are Texans face, I mean, they know it's Tuesday. They

554
00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:17,200
Speaker 1: know what it is, they know what days. The fans

555
00:26:17,240 --> 00:26:19,919
Speaker 1: couldn't come to problem that. They know when they go

556
00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:22,600
Speaker 1: to Green Bay, when they practice against the Packers, and

557
00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:26,200
Speaker 1: when the preseason opener is, and if we screw it up,

558
00:26:27,240 --> 00:26:29,080
Speaker 1: you know, we don't want to do that. But it's

559
00:26:29,119 --> 00:26:32,159
Speaker 1: not like everybody's gonna go, oh my god, John Harris

560
00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:34,760
Speaker 1: said this day, I was wrong. No, they're gonna go.

561
00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:37,400
Speaker 1: John Harris was wrong. I think I think I'm two

562
00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:40,440
Speaker 1: years ago. A lot of the casual fanno, the die

563
00:26:40,480 --> 00:26:43,560
Speaker 1: hards and even the next level, they know when the

564
00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:45,840
Speaker 1: when the games start. But two years ago, when the

565
00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:48,280
Speaker 1: Texans opened on a Wednesday at Carolina, that was I

566
00:26:48,280 --> 00:26:50,840
Speaker 1: think a lot of the fringe, casual people, for lack

567
00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:52,600
Speaker 1: of a better way of putting them, We're like, wait, wait,

568
00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:56,920
Speaker 1: Wednesday because of the golf tournament there. Yeah, because, my goodness,

569
00:26:57,040 --> 00:26:58,800
Speaker 1: we're not a big enough city where we can have

570
00:26:58,840 --> 00:27:02,439
Speaker 1: a PG eight tournament and an NFL preseason. Gave it

571
00:27:02,480 --> 00:27:05,920
Speaker 1: the same tis. I think the PGA has it has

572
00:27:05,960 --> 00:27:08,840
Speaker 1: a deal where they make the rules of those tournaments.

573
00:27:09,320 --> 00:27:14,640
Speaker 1: Remember when Firestone moved in Akron to Hall of Fame weekend,

574
00:27:15,359 --> 00:27:18,160
Speaker 1: and Hall of Fame did everything they could to get

575
00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:19,720
Speaker 1: them not to do it, and it had nothing to

576
00:27:19,760 --> 00:27:22,440
Speaker 1: do with Akron. It had to do with PGA. So

577
00:27:22,520 --> 00:27:26,800
Speaker 1: now and hotel rooms and everywhere in northern Ohio taken

578
00:27:26,880 --> 00:27:30,480
Speaker 1: up my Hall of Fame Induction weekend and the PGA tournament.

579
00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:33,240
Speaker 1: So that's controlled by them. If you agree to have

580
00:27:33,359 --> 00:27:35,679
Speaker 1: them in, you know, you open the door and you

581
00:27:35,720 --> 00:27:37,640
Speaker 1: invite them to come in and take over. It's still

582
00:27:37,640 --> 00:27:39,840
Speaker 1: the same weekend. Are they there this weekend? I guess

583
00:27:39,880 --> 00:27:42,880
Speaker 1: I hadn't anybody to me, all right. So if you're

584
00:27:42,920 --> 00:27:45,400
Speaker 1: the area, the PGA's got to do a solid here.

585
00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:48,400
Speaker 1: It's right for that area. You know, Lebron went back

586
00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:50,960
Speaker 1: for the economy and everything, well partly, but you know

587
00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:53,000
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, it's great to have back to back

588
00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:55,480
Speaker 1: weeks of huge events. It's in the best interest of

589
00:27:55,480 --> 00:27:58,399
Speaker 1: your city, of your area to divide those events. Well,

590
00:27:58,440 --> 00:28:00,400
Speaker 1: you don't have to worry about it anymore because got

591
00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:03,120
Speaker 1: smart and said no, no, no no, no, move our majors.

592
00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:06,200
Speaker 1: Good move them. But the Firestone is something else or whatever.

593
00:28:06,480 --> 00:28:09,960
Speaker 1: I know, but that's not that's not that's not the championship.

594
00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:11,720
Speaker 1: Like a from two years ago, it was a big

595
00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:15,440
Speaker 1: tournament every year that drew all the bigs and uh

596
00:28:15,480 --> 00:28:20,560
Speaker 1: and the even the Amish country was having being bees

597
00:28:20,960 --> 00:28:25,680
Speaker 1: invite people over twenty it's like, wait, what Harrison Ford.

598
00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:30,560
Speaker 1: It's like that. It's like Witness, that movie with Harrison

599
00:28:30,600 --> 00:28:33,879
Speaker 1: Ford or a Kingpin, although there are they mad Nights,

600
00:28:33,880 --> 00:28:37,119
Speaker 1: it's a little bit different. Kingping was just weird. I

601
00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:40,960
Speaker 1: remember is Kelly McGillis, Oh yeah, pretty good in Witness?

602
00:28:41,080 --> 00:28:44,000
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, okay? Top Gun? Hey is she in the

603
00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:46,800
Speaker 1: sequel of Top Gun? I don't know. No, there's no way,

604
00:28:46,960 --> 00:28:49,280
Speaker 1: there's no way she's in there. There's no way she.

605
00:28:49,920 --> 00:28:52,000
Speaker 1: I started to watch the trailer that I dropped it.

606
00:28:52,040 --> 00:28:53,480
Speaker 1: When is it coming? All right? So we don't have

607
00:28:53,480 --> 00:28:57,560
Speaker 1: coming out a long time. It's twenty twenty. Make me up.

608
00:28:57,600 --> 00:29:00,440
Speaker 1: But he gets here, all right, John, biggest away from

609
00:29:00,480 --> 00:29:03,480
Speaker 1: yesterday what stood out to you? They were out of pads,

610
00:29:03,520 --> 00:29:06,000
Speaker 1: but I thought it was still a very spirited session

611
00:29:06,280 --> 00:29:08,560
Speaker 1: at the Houston Methodist training. What I like to watch

612
00:29:08,600 --> 00:29:11,360
Speaker 1: the most, whether they're in pads or idea pads of

613
00:29:11,440 --> 00:29:13,680
Speaker 1: the receivers, and that'd be in the tight ends and

614
00:29:13,720 --> 00:29:19,120
Speaker 1: the receivers and the defensive bags. Because cornerback to me,

615
00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:22,760
Speaker 1: everybody keeps talking around the country about offensive line, and

616
00:29:22,800 --> 00:29:25,600
Speaker 1: when I do these national shows, it's like, oh my god,

617
00:29:26,080 --> 00:29:28,680
Speaker 1: the offensive line, And I said, well, cornerback to me

618
00:29:28,800 --> 00:29:30,840
Speaker 1: is a bigger issue than the offensive line, because I

619
00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:35,680
Speaker 1: think the line's going to be better with a small

620
00:29:35,760 --> 00:29:38,959
Speaker 1: thing like Martinez ranking going into his second year. At

621
00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:42,560
Speaker 1: the end of last year, snil Kellamette and Zach Fulton

622
00:29:42,600 --> 00:29:45,600
Speaker 1: and Nick Martin were beaten up, which is one reason

623
00:29:45,640 --> 00:29:48,680
Speaker 1: the running game went from averaging one hundred and forty

624
00:29:48,720 --> 00:29:51,960
Speaker 1: three yards at the end of the winning streak, including

625
00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:55,680
Speaker 1: one fifty six during the nine game winning streak, fallen

626
00:29:55,720 --> 00:29:58,800
Speaker 1: off the table because they just were beating up up

627
00:29:58,880 --> 00:30:02,920
Speaker 1: front and there everybody he's selties so far and Matt

628
00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:09,880
Speaker 1: Khalilod so far and then they love Titus Howard, Max Sharping.

629
00:30:09,880 --> 00:30:14,440
Speaker 1: They're both playing tackle and guard it. Uh. The coaches

630
00:30:14,480 --> 00:30:19,080
Speaker 1: are really happy with those guys the way they learn

631
00:30:19,240 --> 00:30:22,600
Speaker 1: in the meetings and take it onto the field and

632
00:30:22,640 --> 00:30:25,440
Speaker 1: then when they make a mistake corrected and they have

633
00:30:25,640 --> 00:30:28,400
Speaker 1: confidence in them mentally that they can play both of

634
00:30:28,400 --> 00:30:32,120
Speaker 1: those positions. You know, if indeed, say Khalil could play

635
00:30:32,160 --> 00:30:34,920
Speaker 1: well enough to play left tackle for a year, that

636
00:30:34,960 --> 00:30:38,600
Speaker 1: means Texas could have two starting rookie guards. Sharping is

637
00:30:38,720 --> 00:30:42,560
Speaker 1: uh he once they start banging on people at Green Bay,

638
00:30:43,120 --> 00:30:44,920
Speaker 1: I think he's got a chance to be kind of

639
00:30:44,920 --> 00:30:49,160
Speaker 1: a maller, a nasty boy, and they need that up front.

640
00:30:49,320 --> 00:30:51,800
Speaker 1: And you know, they know what they got Nick Martin.

641
00:30:51,800 --> 00:30:55,120
Speaker 1: They'd like to see Nick come back as soon as possible,

642
00:30:55,600 --> 00:30:58,200
Speaker 1: and just like Holly Wearing, who needs it a lot more.

643
00:30:58,280 --> 00:31:01,080
Speaker 1: But watching the line, and I think it's gonna be

644
00:31:01,080 --> 00:31:04,320
Speaker 1: better that I'm not sure about the secondary. You never

645
00:31:04,400 --> 00:31:08,640
Speaker 1: know about Roby and and uh Aaron Colvin and Jonathan

646
00:31:08,760 --> 00:31:11,920
Speaker 1: Joseph who just got a raise to I think four

647
00:31:11,960 --> 00:31:16,280
Speaker 1: million a year this season. Uh, those guys, you they've

648
00:31:16,320 --> 00:31:19,240
Speaker 1: got to play really well. Lonnie Johnson's got to get

649
00:31:19,320 --> 00:31:22,400
Speaker 1: healthy and stay healthy. And it wouldn't surprise me if

650
00:31:22,400 --> 00:31:26,480
Speaker 1: they don't end up finding another corner on another team.

651
00:31:27,040 --> 00:31:30,360
Speaker 1: And especially when you consider those quarterbacks and I know

652
00:31:30,440 --> 00:31:32,719
Speaker 1: how high they are on Colly wearing and now he

653
00:31:32,760 --> 00:31:35,280
Speaker 1: hadn't been able to play. You know, when I watched

654
00:31:35,320 --> 00:31:38,640
Speaker 1: him on the sideline, he reminds me of me, And yeah,

655
00:31:38,680 --> 00:31:40,880
Speaker 1: I was gonna say that this specimen and that what

656
00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:44,520
Speaker 1: you think of. Yeah, there's no way that guy weighs

657
00:31:44,520 --> 00:31:47,520
Speaker 1: two fifty two like he's listed. I asked him at

658
00:31:47,520 --> 00:31:49,200
Speaker 1: the end of the mini King say he's up to

659
00:31:49,240 --> 00:31:53,240
Speaker 1: fifty six. He is. He looks as good or better

660
00:31:53,280 --> 00:31:58,240
Speaker 1: than anybody out there, just his his body. Let me

661
00:31:58,280 --> 00:32:00,440
Speaker 1: put it like that. He is awesome. And then I

662
00:32:00,480 --> 00:32:03,000
Speaker 1: know he can run and he's missing all this time

663
00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:05,800
Speaker 1: and he's fallen behind. So we'll see how long it

664
00:32:05,840 --> 00:32:09,440
Speaker 1: takes him to catch up. And Jordan Nakins has capitalized

665
00:32:09,880 --> 00:32:12,960
Speaker 1: on the two other tight ends, including Jordan Thomas being out,

666
00:32:13,320 --> 00:32:16,000
Speaker 1: Aikins has just been tremendous. You know, he's wide receiver,

667
00:32:16,080 --> 00:32:18,960
Speaker 1: he's tied end, he's an h bag, he's everything but

668
00:32:19,560 --> 00:32:23,960
Speaker 1: the third fourth quarterback. And so watching Aikins make all

669
00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:26,880
Speaker 1: these plays. You know, we're always eager to see the

670
00:32:26,920 --> 00:32:29,440
Speaker 1: guys that are in their second season how much improvement

671
00:32:29,480 --> 00:32:33,120
Speaker 1: they made, like Thomas Nakens Thunder and Lightning, but Aikins

672
00:32:33,200 --> 00:32:36,040
Speaker 1: has just torn it up. When you said Max Sharping,

673
00:32:36,760 --> 00:32:40,440
Speaker 1: it's interesting. Yesterday I was in my office and one

674
00:32:40,480 --> 00:32:42,560
Speaker 1: of our video guys, one of the tylers, came in.

675
00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:44,920
Speaker 1: I was like, hey, come here, you got to see this.

676
00:32:45,080 --> 00:32:47,440
Speaker 1: And they're trying to get a tight shot on the

677
00:32:47,560 --> 00:32:51,479
Speaker 1: Sean And it was a play in which Sharpenings at

678
00:32:51,520 --> 00:32:54,600
Speaker 1: guard and Shan Trowe Henderson was at tackle and b

679
00:32:54,760 --> 00:32:59,360
Speaker 1: Mac and JJ were lined up. B Mac was over

680
00:32:59,440 --> 00:33:02,120
Speaker 1: the top of Sharping and what was outside and they

681
00:33:02,200 --> 00:33:07,000
Speaker 1: looped and we're watching this video and I'm watching it

682
00:33:07,040 --> 00:33:09,720
Speaker 1: and I'm just like okay, and Marcots like watch this.

683
00:33:10,280 --> 00:33:15,360
Speaker 1: There's a point where Sharping somehow they didn't communicate as

684
00:33:15,400 --> 00:33:17,120
Speaker 1: well as they should have. But there's a point where

685
00:33:17,120 --> 00:33:21,680
Speaker 1: Sharping is got Bmack by the neck with one arm,

686
00:33:21,720 --> 00:33:25,200
Speaker 1: and he's got what by the jersey with the other arm,

687
00:33:25,240 --> 00:33:29,440
Speaker 1: and he's literally just holding them off hold the door,

688
00:33:29,720 --> 00:33:34,000
Speaker 1: like holding both of them. He's got both of them,

689
00:33:34,280 --> 00:33:37,400
Speaker 1: And I'm like, oh, my god, I was that. He's

690
00:33:37,400 --> 00:33:41,080
Speaker 1: a huge guy. He's a massive He didn't have great

691
00:33:41,120 --> 00:33:44,760
Speaker 1: feet right. He just seems more like a guard to me.

692
00:33:44,880 --> 00:33:48,960
Speaker 1: Because right tackles, because there's so many great pass rushers

693
00:33:49,080 --> 00:33:51,640
Speaker 1: on the left side as well as right, the right

694
00:33:51,680 --> 00:33:54,480
Speaker 1: tackles got to have quick feet too. So it wouldn't

695
00:33:54,520 --> 00:33:57,680
Speaker 1: surprise me at all if Sharping doesn't play guardenstad guard.

696
00:33:57,800 --> 00:33:59,400
Speaker 1: You know, it's interesting, John, you say that because I

697
00:33:59,400 --> 00:34:01,760
Speaker 1: was watching the other night the NFL Top one hundred

698
00:34:01,800 --> 00:34:03,720
Speaker 1: and they had Joey Bosa I think he was in

699
00:34:03,720 --> 00:34:06,680
Speaker 1: the mid fifties somewhere. He comes off the left side,

700
00:34:06,800 --> 00:34:10,040
Speaker 1: defensive left side. JJ comes off the defensive left side. Miller.

701
00:34:10,320 --> 00:34:12,680
Speaker 1: Miller comes off the defensive left side. That's some of

702
00:34:12,680 --> 00:34:16,120
Speaker 1: those those top edge rushers in the league they'd like

703
00:34:16,200 --> 00:34:18,200
Speaker 1: coming off that left side for some reason, I don't know,

704
00:34:18,239 --> 00:34:20,160
Speaker 1: because they get a guy who's not as good as

705
00:34:20,160 --> 00:34:23,160
Speaker 1: the left tackle maybe right. And in many cads they

706
00:34:23,239 --> 00:34:27,440
Speaker 1: also now everybody moves or tied end around. You know

707
00:34:27,680 --> 00:34:30,239
Speaker 1: the reason they the reason it happened that you needed

708
00:34:30,280 --> 00:34:33,120
Speaker 1: your best blocker on your left tackle because you know,

709
00:34:33,160 --> 00:34:36,120
Speaker 1: the blind side on the quarterback. But there was tight

710
00:34:36,239 --> 00:34:39,280
Speaker 1: end over there, and now the tight ends goes the slot,

711
00:34:39,360 --> 00:34:42,320
Speaker 1: they line up wide, they go in motion. You don't

712
00:34:42,400 --> 00:34:45,160
Speaker 1: have as many traditional tight ends, so you can rush

713
00:34:45,200 --> 00:34:47,720
Speaker 1: from either side. You know, if I was the quarterback,

714
00:34:47,719 --> 00:34:49,360
Speaker 1: you know all the quarterbacks always pointing to the middle

715
00:34:49,360 --> 00:34:52,240
Speaker 1: linebacker and that's for protection or whatever. I'd be pointing

716
00:34:52,239 --> 00:34:56,800
Speaker 1: to JJ Watt, like him there he is blockhead or

717
00:34:56,920 --> 00:35:02,080
Speaker 1: von Miller. Yeah, Cloudy's over there. He watched over there.

718
00:35:01,440 --> 00:35:05,520
Speaker 1: He's over well, you guys bring up a great point.

719
00:35:05,560 --> 00:35:08,880
Speaker 1: The other night, Um when I if you watch Clowney's

720
00:35:08,920 --> 00:35:14,440
Speaker 1: top one hundred vignette, there's a miked up with Anthony.

721
00:35:14,440 --> 00:35:17,320
Speaker 1: We were standing there, DJ readers sitting down and Clowney

722
00:35:17,400 --> 00:35:20,680
Speaker 1: standing up, and he walks over there and they have

723
00:35:20,719 --> 00:35:23,120
Speaker 1: a discussion and they're like, and I think it's the Colts.

724
00:35:23,160 --> 00:35:25,239
Speaker 1: I think it's the Colts. I tried to pause as

725
00:35:25,239 --> 00:35:28,200
Speaker 1: see who was I think it was the Colts. Every

726
00:35:28,239 --> 00:35:32,440
Speaker 1: time that Clowney was off the ball, the Colts pointed

727
00:35:32,480 --> 00:35:35,200
Speaker 1: Clowney out. DJ was like, yeah, they're saying something. I

728
00:35:35,200 --> 00:35:36,880
Speaker 1: don't know what they're saying. I don't know what they're

729
00:35:36,960 --> 00:35:39,799
Speaker 1: but they're pointing Clowney out that every time Clowney was

730
00:35:39,880 --> 00:35:43,439
Speaker 1: off the ball, the Colts were making him the mic.

731
00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:47,799
Speaker 1: They were making sure that he they centered the protection

732
00:35:48,320 --> 00:35:51,680
Speaker 1: on him whenever he was off the ball as a linebacker,

733
00:35:51,719 --> 00:35:55,760
Speaker 1: like he automatically became the mic for them, which I thought,

734
00:35:56,160 --> 00:35:58,840
Speaker 1: that's really that's really interesting because I've always wondered what

735
00:35:58,880 --> 00:36:02,200
Speaker 1: teams were doing when Clowney ended up trying to stand up.

736
00:36:02,239 --> 00:36:03,880
Speaker 1: And it was funny because Clowney was the one who

737
00:36:03,880 --> 00:36:05,759
Speaker 1: came over there and was telling them, Hey, look when

738
00:36:05,800 --> 00:36:11,000
Speaker 1: I'm standing up, they're making me the mic. Basically help

739
00:36:11,040 --> 00:36:13,600
Speaker 1: yourself then, right, that's what it's got to do. They

740
00:36:13,640 --> 00:36:15,960
Speaker 1: have to do that because the way moves around right

741
00:36:16,120 --> 00:36:20,040
Speaker 1: exactly stands up outside, he stands up inside. Sometimes he's

742
00:36:20,080 --> 00:36:22,960
Speaker 1: standing up over the nose tackle that nobody else does that,

743
00:36:23,120 --> 00:36:27,160
Speaker 1: so they have to be aware of him. And and uh,

744
00:36:27,200 --> 00:36:29,480
Speaker 1: he had a great game. I think he ever had

745
00:36:29,520 --> 00:36:32,239
Speaker 1: a better game than he had in the first one

746
00:36:32,440 --> 00:36:37,360
Speaker 1: at well. He had the fubble recovery for a touchdown.

747
00:36:37,640 --> 00:36:39,560
Speaker 1: He had the big sack on third down. If he

748
00:36:39,560 --> 00:36:41,839
Speaker 1: doesn't get that sat if they if they convert something

749
00:36:41,840 --> 00:36:43,839
Speaker 1: on that play, you lose that game and you're owing

750
00:36:43,880 --> 00:36:45,960
Speaker 1: four and then who knows what happens. Right that was

751
00:36:46,000 --> 00:36:47,879
Speaker 1: a huge moment right there. Even though they came back

752
00:36:47,880 --> 00:36:50,920
Speaker 1: with the fourth and four and failed right there, you

753
00:36:50,960 --> 00:36:53,839
Speaker 1: know what would they have had had Luck had time

754
00:36:53,880 --> 00:36:56,839
Speaker 1: to throw on third down? Yea, So football's like that.

755
00:36:57,040 --> 00:37:00,520
Speaker 1: It's a domino effect. That's whatever. So John, take us

756
00:37:00,520 --> 00:37:03,960
Speaker 1: through another position group here because we're about to review

757
00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:06,600
Speaker 1: the running backs. And to me, you know, we talk

758
00:37:06,640 --> 00:37:09,040
Speaker 1: about four men and what he's capable of doing. They

759
00:37:09,120 --> 00:37:10,840
Speaker 1: got a lot of other guys who are really interesting.

760
00:37:11,719 --> 00:37:14,759
Speaker 1: I think that the third running back could be on

761
00:37:14,800 --> 00:37:19,479
Speaker 1: another team. You know, they like Josh Ferguson. I don't

762
00:37:19,520 --> 00:37:22,600
Speaker 1: think Crying Higbee. I think you'll end up on a

763
00:37:22,680 --> 00:37:29,040
Speaker 1: practice squad, h Higden And because he didn't do much

764
00:37:29,040 --> 00:37:31,640
Speaker 1: novel season program because of injuries. But he's looked pretty

765
00:37:31,640 --> 00:37:34,719
Speaker 1: good out here, at least the last few practices. Once

766
00:37:34,760 --> 00:37:38,719
Speaker 1: he's figured out what he's doing, and Ferguson would see him.

767
00:37:38,719 --> 00:37:42,719
Speaker 1: But Taiwan Jones is thirty. He's played special teams his

768
00:37:42,960 --> 00:37:46,080
Speaker 1: entire career. Would they keep a thirty year old as

769
00:37:46,120 --> 00:37:49,920
Speaker 1: a third back who's a good receiver, who's experience and

770
00:37:50,040 --> 00:37:52,080
Speaker 1: because of special teams, and I think they're gonna do

771
00:37:52,080 --> 00:37:54,880
Speaker 1: Buddy how like they did last year with Johnson Batibosi.

772
00:37:55,480 --> 00:37:58,560
Speaker 1: Keep him because of special teams. He's a luxury and

773
00:37:58,719 --> 00:38:01,719
Speaker 1: look for a third. But I still think Foreman will

774
00:38:01,760 --> 00:38:05,280
Speaker 1: be number two. O'Brien's trying to motivate him. They always

775
00:38:05,280 --> 00:38:09,399
Speaker 1: have to motivate the autepe Foreman. And I think when

776
00:38:09,400 --> 00:38:12,480
Speaker 1: he when I asked him that question we talked about yesterday,

777
00:38:13,080 --> 00:38:15,239
Speaker 1: talk about the backs behind the first two, and he said,

778
00:38:15,239 --> 00:38:16,920
Speaker 1: who are the first two? And I said Miller and Foreman.

779
00:38:16,960 --> 00:38:21,160
Speaker 1: He goes Miller and other words, sending him measice the Foreman. Yeah,

780
00:38:21,200 --> 00:38:24,399
Speaker 1: you look good, You're in good shape, but you got

781
00:38:24,400 --> 00:38:27,240
Speaker 1: a long way to get every day in sixteen weeks.

782
00:38:27,320 --> 00:38:30,920
Speaker 1: It's it's crazy. Who's your cap crush? Do you have

783
00:38:30,960 --> 00:38:34,799
Speaker 1: a cap crush here? Because we both have? Um let

784
00:38:34,840 --> 00:38:38,600
Speaker 1: me think real quick, let's see any line linebackers. Let

785
00:38:38,640 --> 00:38:41,360
Speaker 1: me let me rephrase it. I don't mind saying the

786
00:38:41,440 --> 00:38:45,800
Speaker 1: camp crush, um um, I've got yeah. And I wrote

787
00:38:45,800 --> 00:38:50,440
Speaker 1: about him today. I think besides Watson, who I am

788
00:38:50,640 --> 00:38:55,920
Speaker 1: just so intrigued, I said, besides too, it's just now

789
00:38:56,160 --> 00:39:03,960
Speaker 1: you can't well you crush my big brother. Yeah, Watson's

790
00:39:03,960 --> 00:39:09,400
Speaker 1: the love of your life. Nakins, Okay, Jordan Naikins to me,

791
00:39:09,440 --> 00:39:12,000
Speaker 1: I can't crushes somebody who's kind of flying. Maybe under

792
00:39:12,760 --> 00:39:16,040
Speaker 1: will allow it. Yeah, no, I'm not gonna allow that either. Okay.

793
00:39:18,400 --> 00:39:21,480
Speaker 1: Of the wide receivers who aren't in the top three,

794
00:39:22,120 --> 00:39:24,399
Speaker 1: who's your favorite? Okay? Good, that's mine too. I wrote

795
00:39:24,400 --> 00:39:28,480
Speaker 1: about him today on My Takeaways, which Sawsterday Texas courts

796
00:39:28,560 --> 00:39:32,080
Speaker 1: Nation dot com. And he could be at Vincent Smith

797
00:39:32,640 --> 00:39:35,560
Speaker 1: and be the guy who's undrafted that we didn't think

798
00:39:35,640 --> 00:39:37,680
Speaker 1: much about. Then all of a sudden he makes the team.

799
00:39:38,280 --> 00:39:41,040
Speaker 1: He's six one, he's one ninety eight, I think, and

800
00:39:41,120 --> 00:39:44,120
Speaker 1: he can run. Oh Brian, I asked oh Brian about him.

801
00:39:44,160 --> 00:39:46,800
Speaker 1: He spoke highly of him, But I would say Tyrn

802
00:39:46,880 --> 00:39:50,000
Speaker 1: Johnson of the nobodies and then of guys on the

803
00:39:50,040 --> 00:39:52,319
Speaker 1: rest of him. I love what Jordan Nakins is doing

804
00:39:52,680 --> 00:39:55,280
Speaker 1: all over the field. Why can't I at Jord Nakins

805
00:39:55,360 --> 00:39:58,320
Speaker 1: is a crush? That's okay, he's Jordan Nikins is a

806
00:39:58,800 --> 00:40:01,799
Speaker 1: starter or closed he's a crush. Your bowl guy, I

807
00:40:01,840 --> 00:40:05,120
Speaker 1: think you gotta go reserve type player or a guy

808
00:40:05,120 --> 00:40:07,399
Speaker 1: who's trying to make the team that's sort of under

809
00:40:07,440 --> 00:40:11,359
Speaker 1: the rail. I got one, I got one. I got one,

810
00:40:11,480 --> 00:40:13,960
Speaker 1: and I've been I've been holding I haven't haven't written

811
00:40:13,960 --> 00:40:17,400
Speaker 1: about him. And he's a rookie and every time I

812
00:40:17,480 --> 00:40:20,920
Speaker 1: watched him, he I watched him in pass rush drills

813
00:40:21,560 --> 00:40:26,640
Speaker 1: and it's Jamal Davis. He's only been out there a

814
00:40:26,640 --> 00:40:31,000
Speaker 1: little bit. He's noticeable he is when he can fly,

815
00:40:31,920 --> 00:40:34,200
Speaker 1: he can absolutely fly. He's the kind of guy you

816
00:40:34,239 --> 00:40:36,120
Speaker 1: have coming off the edge and you're like, whoa. He

817
00:40:36,239 --> 00:40:38,480
Speaker 1: threw a spin move the other day in pass rush moves.

818
00:40:38,640 --> 00:40:41,719
Speaker 1: The very last rep. Literally the whistle blew as he

819
00:40:41,760 --> 00:40:44,319
Speaker 1: was spinning to end the drill and he spun on

820
00:40:44,400 --> 00:40:48,520
Speaker 1: somebody and you saw the defensive players go nuts. They

821
00:40:48,560 --> 00:40:51,600
Speaker 1: went crazy. Jamal Davis is one. The other one for

822
00:40:51,719 --> 00:40:55,840
Speaker 1: me is Charles Amnahu. You look at Charles and every

823
00:40:56,040 --> 00:40:58,600
Speaker 1: there's a play made. Now he's got to find a

824
00:40:58,640 --> 00:41:02,520
Speaker 1: consistent level because there are times when it's like, okay, Charles,

825
00:41:02,520 --> 00:41:04,239
Speaker 1: where are you? But then there are times where he

826
00:41:04,400 --> 00:41:08,200
Speaker 1: really shows up and makes some plays. Knife in the backfield.

827
00:41:08,200 --> 00:41:10,600
Speaker 1: He has been hanging on at JJ Watts every word.

828
00:41:11,080 --> 00:41:14,520
Speaker 1: Charles Amanna, who I mean? Two rookies they're obviously men.

829
00:41:14,600 --> 00:41:16,840
Speaker 1: Who's not a nobody because he was drafted in the

830
00:41:17,000 --> 00:41:19,720
Speaker 1: still drafted in the fifth round on day three. Jamal

831
00:41:19,800 --> 00:41:22,120
Speaker 1: Davis is not a guy that anybody has really talked about.

832
00:41:22,160 --> 00:41:24,040
Speaker 1: But man, I'm telling you he can give them some

833
00:41:24,080 --> 00:41:26,160
Speaker 1: pass wresting can be really interesting when he goes. I

834
00:41:26,200 --> 00:41:29,440
Speaker 1: think he didn't get drafted. It's a good question, you sized,

835
00:41:30,239 --> 00:41:32,399
Speaker 1: I don't know. He's in a two forties. I think

836
00:41:32,920 --> 00:41:36,319
Speaker 1: he's a little he's a little bit undersized, but he's

837
00:41:36,360 --> 00:41:38,799
Speaker 1: got every athletic attribute you could possibly have. Now he

838
00:41:38,880 --> 00:41:41,960
Speaker 1: transferred from Pitt So the transferred thing. You don't know

839
00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:44,440
Speaker 1: why that happened. I mean, who knows. I mean, you know,

840
00:41:44,480 --> 00:41:48,319
Speaker 1: look when when Arian Foster went undrafted, I think at

841
00:41:48,320 --> 00:41:50,160
Speaker 1: the time, everybody's kind of like, wow, why are you

842
00:41:50,160 --> 00:41:52,120
Speaker 1: going drafted? And over the years we found out, you know,

843
00:41:52,120 --> 00:41:54,719
Speaker 1: there was some there were some issues back at Tennessee

844
00:41:54,760 --> 00:41:59,160
Speaker 1: that weren't always great speaking dinosaur language. But yes, taking

845
00:41:59,200 --> 00:42:07,040
Speaker 1: dinosaur language, Tarrad Dackson, let's be accurate spur languages. Yes,

846
00:42:07,120 --> 00:42:09,560
Speaker 1: I think so. I I think the terra dactyl being

847
00:42:09,560 --> 00:42:13,360
Speaker 1: a flying creature is very different from some you know, Bronosaurian. Okay,

848
00:42:13,400 --> 00:42:16,720
Speaker 1: who's your crush? Yeah, Tyran Johnson has been my crush

849
00:42:16,760 --> 00:42:19,920
Speaker 1: and Sotas and I've been very clear about that because

850
00:42:19,960 --> 00:42:23,279
Speaker 1: I've just stolen from you. Well, I think these receivers

851
00:42:23,320 --> 00:42:26,600
Speaker 1: Tyrann Johnson and Johnny Dixon and you know, you have

852
00:42:26,640 --> 00:42:29,200
Speaker 1: this group of guys right there that you know they

853
00:42:29,239 --> 00:42:31,800
Speaker 1: desperately want to make this team. But can they crack

854
00:42:31,840 --> 00:42:35,959
Speaker 1: into that that group because you have four guys who

855
00:42:36,000 --> 00:42:38,520
Speaker 1: look like they're well, you have the three locks, you

856
00:42:38,520 --> 00:42:41,279
Speaker 1: have Vincent Smith, who looks really solid, but those guys

857
00:42:41,320 --> 00:42:43,040
Speaker 1: are trying to get that spot. And then you have

858
00:42:43,080 --> 00:42:46,560
Speaker 1: DeAndre Carter. So I'm gonna go five at receiver on

859
00:42:46,640 --> 00:42:50,240
Speaker 1: this fifty three you know, maybe six, but special teams

860
00:42:50,320 --> 00:42:52,920
Speaker 1: is gonna factor in. So that's why next week at

861
00:42:53,000 --> 00:42:55,799
Speaker 1: Green Bay when the preseason games start, you want to

862
00:42:55,800 --> 00:42:58,320
Speaker 1: be you know, don't go to the refrigerator when they're punting,

863
00:42:58,600 --> 00:43:01,560
Speaker 1: don't go to the refrigerator are in kickoffs because that's

864
00:43:01,600 --> 00:43:04,480
Speaker 1: when you want to see who shines and you can

865
00:43:04,480 --> 00:43:06,440
Speaker 1: really get a glimpse of who might crack into that

866
00:43:06,480 --> 00:43:09,480
Speaker 1: fifth who is a candidate to be the slot backup.

867
00:43:10,800 --> 00:43:13,680
Speaker 1: See that's the thing. They're a bunch of them. Stevie

868
00:43:13,719 --> 00:43:17,000
Speaker 1: Mitchell could go inside, Johnny Dixon can be inside. I mean,

869
00:43:17,160 --> 00:43:19,680
Speaker 1: you guys all know they've got more slot types this

870
00:43:19,760 --> 00:43:22,279
Speaker 1: year than they've ever had before. And who would be

871
00:43:22,320 --> 00:43:24,920
Speaker 1: the return guy? That's exactly That's exactly that point that

872
00:43:25,000 --> 00:43:27,160
Speaker 1: we don't know. I think they can they can sort

873
00:43:27,160 --> 00:43:30,080
Speaker 1: of tell who can catch the ball. I'd have to

874
00:43:30,120 --> 00:43:31,960
Speaker 1: talk to Brad Ceey about what are you looking for

875
00:43:32,040 --> 00:43:34,200
Speaker 1: at this point? From the return guys? You know everybody

876
00:43:34,200 --> 00:43:36,160
Speaker 1: else you want to see. They get their blocking assignments,

877
00:43:36,320 --> 00:43:38,160
Speaker 1: but what do you see right now and practice from

878
00:43:38,200 --> 00:43:40,200
Speaker 1: the return guy? And you won't really know till lay

879
00:43:40,280 --> 00:43:43,280
Speaker 1: start get hit. I don't think they're keeping six receivers.

880
00:43:43,400 --> 00:43:46,200
Speaker 1: They're gonna keep buddy own Buddy. How's better special teams

881
00:43:46,200 --> 00:43:48,840
Speaker 1: player than a six receiver? And that affects the running

882
00:43:48,840 --> 00:43:50,560
Speaker 1: back group a little bit, doesn't it. And we have

883
00:43:51,120 --> 00:43:55,879
Speaker 1: to keep forward tight ends of course swimming we ever see,

884
00:43:56,640 --> 00:43:59,839
Speaker 1: that's the X factor there because all those tight ends

885
00:43:59,880 --> 00:44:02,000
Speaker 1: you talked about. Jordan Thomas is great the start. He's

886
00:44:02,000 --> 00:44:03,680
Speaker 1: been banged up last few days. Hope we will see

887
00:44:03,719 --> 00:44:06,560
Speaker 1: him again soon. Aikin's you mentioned John has been fantastic.

888
00:44:06,800 --> 00:44:09,319
Speaker 1: Darren Fell's had a day or two where he didn't

889
00:44:09,320 --> 00:44:11,160
Speaker 1: catch the ball very well, but you know what you're

890
00:44:11,160 --> 00:44:13,560
Speaker 1: getting with the big Vet. You know what you're getting

891
00:44:13,560 --> 00:44:15,160
Speaker 1: from him, and he's had days where he's caught the

892
00:44:15,160 --> 00:44:17,160
Speaker 1: ball very well. You could go with those three into

893
00:44:17,200 --> 00:44:18,839
Speaker 1: the season and I'd be like, all right, fine, let's

894
00:44:18,880 --> 00:44:21,720
Speaker 1: doctor vanderber says Wearing second half of the season. Wearing

895
00:44:21,800 --> 00:44:24,680
Speaker 1: is gonna be the starter, and I think he can

896
00:44:24,719 --> 00:44:26,640
Speaker 1: be a star. I'd like to see him get on

897
00:44:26,680 --> 00:44:28,440
Speaker 1: the field. Do I have time to ask all the

898
00:44:28,600 --> 00:44:31,600
Speaker 1: question if you want to stick around? Can't stick around?

899
00:44:31,719 --> 00:44:34,600
Speaker 1: You're gonna stick center all that traffic? I fought, yes,

900
00:44:34,719 --> 00:44:37,360
Speaker 1: of course John John's here. So let's let's go to

00:45:06,960 --> 00:45:10,560
Speaker 1: first ten business days of cam Mark Vandermaron, John Harris

910
00:45:10,560 --> 00:45:13,640
Speaker 1: with the John McClain staying with us in overtime. And

911
00:45:13,880 --> 00:45:15,680
Speaker 1: it's a day off of the players. But we're on

912
00:45:16,360 --> 00:45:18,799
Speaker 1: and a lot of things to review. We'll go over

913
00:45:18,840 --> 00:45:21,240
Speaker 1: the running back position soon enough, within this half hour.

914
00:45:21,840 --> 00:45:24,279
Speaker 1: So the general's with us, and you were gonna ask

915
00:45:24,360 --> 00:45:27,840
Speaker 1: us a question, was we know the top two pass

916
00:45:27,920 --> 00:45:32,400
Speaker 1: rushers are Watt and Clowney, they'd like for Whitney Merciless

917
00:45:32,440 --> 00:45:35,200
Speaker 1: to be the third one. Again, Whitney had pour sikes

918
00:45:35,280 --> 00:45:38,240
Speaker 1: last year, he didn't play as much as a pass rusher,

919
00:45:38,400 --> 00:45:41,680
Speaker 1: and he was coming off a hamstring injury in camp,

920
00:45:41,920 --> 00:45:46,480
Speaker 1: not to mention bicep surgery the previous season. So do

921
00:45:46,520 --> 00:45:50,160
Speaker 1: we think in the last year's contract that Whitney is

922
00:45:50,200 --> 00:45:53,480
Speaker 1: going to end up back in the six seven eight range?

923
00:45:54,080 --> 00:45:57,360
Speaker 1: And if not, who would be another guy, whether it

924
00:45:57,440 --> 00:46:01,040
Speaker 1: was outside or whether we might give them an inside

925
00:46:01,160 --> 00:46:06,400
Speaker 1: push to not even maybe for say four sacks inside

926
00:46:07,360 --> 00:46:10,799
Speaker 1: four sacks, who would it be inside outside Besides the

927
00:46:10,840 --> 00:46:13,680
Speaker 1: first three, The two guys that come to mind, one

928
00:46:13,719 --> 00:46:17,480
Speaker 1: inside and one outside. I mean, I I don't think

929
00:46:17,560 --> 00:46:21,080
Speaker 1: that you looked at Charles Manner who at Texas and

930
00:46:21,120 --> 00:46:24,560
Speaker 1: thought that guy is a bona fide top notch ready

931
00:46:24,560 --> 00:46:27,960
Speaker 1: to be a von Miller like pass rusher at J. J.

932
00:46:28,120 --> 00:46:30,160
Speaker 1: Water clowning like pass her throw. If you watch his

933
00:46:30,280 --> 00:46:32,879
Speaker 1: highlight reel, it feels like, oh my gosh, she's going

934
00:46:32,920 --> 00:46:35,879
Speaker 1: to our Atlanta. He did the nine and a half

935
00:46:35,880 --> 00:46:38,160
Speaker 1: sacks in the Big twelve, which is which is saying something,

936
00:46:38,600 --> 00:46:41,680
Speaker 1: um but like it. His one of his best games

937
00:46:41,719 --> 00:46:43,880
Speaker 1: was going against Oklahoma off the Yeah he was. He

938
00:46:43,960 --> 00:46:47,799
Speaker 1: was phenomenal against Oklahoma. But I think he's a guy

939
00:46:47,840 --> 00:46:50,520
Speaker 1: that you actually could use to rush from the inside.

940
00:46:51,080 --> 00:46:52,719
Speaker 1: I think he would be a guy that you could

941
00:46:52,800 --> 00:46:55,240
Speaker 1: rush inside that if you put him in a pass

942
00:46:55,280 --> 00:46:58,840
Speaker 1: rush package that had the three pass rushers walk clowning, merciless,

943
00:46:58,960 --> 00:47:01,920
Speaker 1: and you put Charles in the inside, who's getting single blocked?

944
00:47:05,239 --> 00:47:07,000
Speaker 1: I mean, give me a give me a comparison, here,

945
00:47:07,000 --> 00:47:11,480
Speaker 1: give me a comp I mean smith manni and yeah,

946
00:47:11,520 --> 00:47:13,279
Speaker 1: that's a good comparison. Yeah, he's kind of like a

947
00:47:13,320 --> 00:47:15,840
Speaker 1: mini Ninja. Is he gonna do the sword now? Just kidding? No,

948
00:47:15,960 --> 00:47:19,520
Speaker 1: he but he's long he's gangling, but he's quick, and

949
00:47:19,680 --> 00:47:21,880
Speaker 1: that's the one thing that stood out. But the thing

950
00:47:21,920 --> 00:47:24,200
Speaker 1: about a Minute who, it's it's got a level out

951
00:47:24,239 --> 00:47:26,680
Speaker 1: Like there are some plays where you go, WHOA All Pro,

952
00:47:26,800 --> 00:47:28,200
Speaker 1: and then you see other players and you're like, ooh,

953
00:47:28,360 --> 00:47:31,239
Speaker 1: practice squad. So it's there's gotta be this consistent level.

954
00:47:31,320 --> 00:47:34,319
Speaker 1: The other guy that I think off the edge, and look,

955
00:47:34,360 --> 00:47:36,480
Speaker 1: you're not talking about going getting double sacks. You're just

956
00:47:36,480 --> 00:47:39,200
Speaker 1: talking about a guy that could play the edge and

957
00:47:39,200 --> 00:47:41,120
Speaker 1: and get to the quarterback. I think Brendon Scarlett can

958
00:47:41,160 --> 00:47:43,239
Speaker 1: be a guy that we've seen over the years do

959
00:47:43,360 --> 00:47:46,480
Speaker 1: some good things from the edge. He plays hard, he

960
00:47:46,560 --> 00:47:49,040
Speaker 1: sets the edge well against the run, and I think

961
00:47:49,080 --> 00:47:52,759
Speaker 1: he's strong enough to handle tackles. But he's got a

962
00:47:52,800 --> 00:47:54,440
Speaker 1: little bit of quickness to him too to get to

963
00:47:54,440 --> 00:47:57,279
Speaker 1: the quarterback. So I think Brendan Scarlett's the guy that

964
00:47:57,760 --> 00:48:00,480
Speaker 1: you you with. The Texans had to rely on him

965
00:48:00,600 --> 00:48:02,239
Speaker 1: to do different things for them in the middle of

966
00:48:02,239 --> 00:48:05,320
Speaker 1: the year last year in particular where they really needed him,

967
00:48:05,360 --> 00:48:06,800
Speaker 1: not just on special teams, they need him on the

968
00:48:06,800 --> 00:48:10,280
Speaker 1: defense Sidebotts linebacker, the minute said linebacker, and said linebacker.

969
00:48:10,280 --> 00:48:11,840
Speaker 1: He goes and has a pick against the Redskins, so

970
00:48:11,880 --> 00:48:15,960
Speaker 1: he's done some good things. I think those would be

971
00:48:16,000 --> 00:48:21,200
Speaker 1: the two candidates. Now would I would the Consortium look

972
00:48:21,239 --> 00:48:26,520
Speaker 1: at some sort of pass rusher from another team potentially, Yeah,

973
00:48:26,600 --> 00:48:30,239
Speaker 1: but those guys don't get away. Yeah, they don't know,

974
00:48:30,400 --> 00:48:33,040
Speaker 1: they don't. It's like pitching, okay, and this time of year,

975
00:48:33,120 --> 00:48:35,200
Speaker 1: no one wants to part with anybody they think is

976
00:48:35,239 --> 00:48:38,919
Speaker 1: any good. Malik Jackson released by the Jaguars. Why cap

977
00:48:38,920 --> 00:48:40,480
Speaker 1: casualty because they had to go out and get money

978
00:48:40,480 --> 00:48:42,760
Speaker 1: from Nick Foles. They're gonna be players like that. Why's

979
00:48:42,800 --> 00:48:46,080
Speaker 1: to Sean Gibson here. So there may be something that

980
00:48:46,160 --> 00:48:49,440
Speaker 1: happens the year though you listen, you never know what happens,

981
00:48:49,480 --> 00:48:51,880
Speaker 1: if what happens. And I'm just using Tampa as an

982
00:48:51,880 --> 00:48:54,360
Speaker 1: example because I know Tampa's up against the cap. What

983
00:48:54,520 --> 00:48:57,400
Speaker 1: if Tampa really finds out that Jason Pierre Paul cannot

984
00:48:57,400 --> 00:49:00,239
Speaker 1: come back and play this year, they have no whole

985
00:49:00,840 --> 00:49:03,640
Speaker 1: body on the edge. They've got to go get they've

986
00:49:03,680 --> 00:49:05,399
Speaker 1: got to go make they've got to go make a deal,

987
00:49:05,520 --> 00:49:07,719
Speaker 1: right right, So they've got to go find somebody. And

988
00:49:07,760 --> 00:49:10,000
Speaker 1: so in going and finding somebody where they're gonna get

989
00:49:10,000 --> 00:49:14,160
Speaker 1: the money. Well, now somebody gets, somebody gets maybe you

990
00:49:14,239 --> 00:49:17,200
Speaker 1: take a look. Speaking of that, something I'm very interested in.

991
00:49:18,200 --> 00:49:21,320
Speaker 1: When there is a general manager, the general manager's always

992
00:49:21,400 --> 00:49:25,640
Speaker 1: got to look beyond the first year, right. Coaches want now,

993
00:49:25,840 --> 00:49:28,319
Speaker 1: They want to win right now and do everything they can.

994
00:49:28,440 --> 00:49:32,279
Speaker 1: So I'm curious to see if the Texans will continue

995
00:49:32,320 --> 00:49:36,200
Speaker 1: to operate with the current management structure in the same

996
00:49:36,239 --> 00:49:40,960
Speaker 1: philosophy or they would be more likely to go out

997
00:49:41,000 --> 00:49:42,920
Speaker 1: if they saw a guy with another team and it

998
00:49:43,040 --> 00:49:46,520
Speaker 1: cost to two or three to make that deal, because

999
00:49:47,040 --> 00:49:50,040
Speaker 1: you know, they want to win now. I think I think, yeah,

1000
00:49:50,040 --> 00:49:52,840
Speaker 1: you know, I can't speak for them, but I really

1001
00:49:52,840 --> 00:49:55,239
Speaker 1: think Bill does look at the future, and I think

1002
00:49:55,280 --> 00:49:58,759
Speaker 1: that with Matt Basergan and the guys they have and

1003
00:49:58,840 --> 00:50:01,879
Speaker 1: Easter b they do look at that whole big picture thing.

1004
00:50:01,880 --> 00:50:05,160
Speaker 1: With the CAB, I think the way they approached free

1005
00:50:05,200 --> 00:50:09,600
Speaker 1: agency this year was a uniform decision. Now, maybe some

1006
00:50:09,680 --> 00:50:12,080
Speaker 1: things weren't done or were done that might not have

1007
00:50:12,120 --> 00:50:14,520
Speaker 1: been who knows, But I do believe that that was

1008
00:50:14,560 --> 00:50:16,719
Speaker 1: a philosophy that they all bought into. I think if

1009
00:50:16,719 --> 00:50:19,120
Speaker 1: they if they said let's let's spend all the money

1010
00:50:19,200 --> 00:50:21,799
Speaker 1: and just go get anybody and you know pay, you know,

1011
00:50:21,920 --> 00:50:24,680
Speaker 1: overpay for guys or whatever. I think they would have

1012
00:50:24,680 --> 00:50:26,480
Speaker 1: done it had they all felt that that was a

1013
00:50:26,480 --> 00:50:28,600
Speaker 1: good idea. And I think Cal's on board with this

1014
00:50:28,920 --> 00:50:31,719
Speaker 1: very much so because you know, he's been around here

1015
00:50:31,760 --> 00:50:33,920
Speaker 1: and he sees how things are running. He sees what's important,

1016
00:50:33,960 --> 00:50:35,959
Speaker 1: he sees what happens to three years down the line

1017
00:50:35,960 --> 00:50:38,120
Speaker 1: with certain contracts and everything. And I think it was

1018
00:50:38,160 --> 00:50:42,200
Speaker 1: an organizational philosophy. The interesting thing is, moves are made.

1019
00:50:42,200 --> 00:50:45,640
Speaker 1: They've made several little moves this training camp so far.

1020
00:50:46,320 --> 00:50:49,279
Speaker 1: They're running okay. The organization is running. You know. We

1021
00:50:49,400 --> 00:50:51,400
Speaker 1: joked about it, like, hey, how do these players just

1022
00:50:51,440 --> 00:50:54,200
Speaker 1: show up out of thin air? There's general manager? How

1023
00:50:54,200 --> 00:51:00,359
Speaker 1: did they? Yeah, they materialize. Here's something else. They're gonna

1024
00:51:00,400 --> 00:51:03,520
Speaker 1: have three convinced story pigs. Two of them could be

1025
00:51:03,680 --> 00:51:06,919
Speaker 1: threes depending on how Karen Jackson and Tyre and Matthew play.

1026
00:51:07,000 --> 00:51:08,960
Speaker 1: To go make a deal for somebody and then you

1027
00:51:09,080 --> 00:51:12,320
Speaker 1: got your own three. So for three you come sometimes

1028
00:51:12,360 --> 00:51:14,480
Speaker 1: get a pretty good player, and you can trade compid

1029
00:51:14,640 --> 00:51:16,799
Speaker 1: story pigs even though you don't have them yet. So

1030
00:51:16,840 --> 00:51:20,200
Speaker 1: would they be more inclined to trade their three? But

1031
00:51:20,360 --> 00:51:22,719
Speaker 1: then Matthew and Jackson go down for the year and

1032
00:51:22,760 --> 00:51:25,520
Speaker 1: you don't get your threes. But that's something for them

1033
00:51:25,520 --> 00:51:28,600
Speaker 1: to consider when thinking about what they may need at

1034
00:51:28,640 --> 00:51:32,479
Speaker 1: a position coming out of training camp, or even during

1035
00:51:32,560 --> 00:51:34,879
Speaker 1: training camp when they see more of their guys. Well,

1036
00:51:34,880 --> 00:51:38,319
Speaker 1: I think it's it's still pretty early here, but five

1037
00:51:38,400 --> 00:51:40,879
Speaker 1: days and I'd love to hear the conversations they're having

1038
00:51:40,920 --> 00:51:43,360
Speaker 1: today about things that we've been talking about all offseason.

1039
00:51:43,400 --> 00:51:45,640
Speaker 1: How's the old wire looking like, Let's let's do a

1040
00:51:45,640 --> 00:51:49,640
Speaker 1: little son about corner. I think they're fine at safety,

1041
00:51:49,920 --> 00:51:52,600
Speaker 1: however you wanted to fine. Fine. I'm not saying everybody's

1042
00:51:52,600 --> 00:51:54,359
Speaker 1: going to the Pro Bowl, but I think they look

1043
00:51:54,400 --> 00:51:57,600
Speaker 1: good there at corner. It's still a very much a

1044
00:51:57,600 --> 00:52:00,840
Speaker 1: work in progress. But I do like the additional Roby.

1045
00:52:00,880 --> 00:52:02,880
Speaker 1: I think, you know, Rob's played a bunch of football,

1046
00:52:02,920 --> 00:52:05,680
Speaker 1: He's only missed one game. He's a Super Bowl champ.

1047
00:52:05,920 --> 00:52:08,000
Speaker 1: Between him and some of the other options, you should

1048
00:52:08,000 --> 00:52:09,040
Speaker 1: be able to work it out. But I think they

1049
00:52:09,080 --> 00:52:10,840
Speaker 1: get very thin in a hurry. He had had a

1050
00:52:10,880 --> 00:52:14,160
Speaker 1: big hurry good game against Tyreek Hill last year. And

1051
00:52:14,800 --> 00:52:17,200
Speaker 1: the thing about Roby, you can't beat a guy or

1052
00:52:17,239 --> 00:52:20,520
Speaker 1: one year contract. I mean, we're talking about his future

1053
00:52:20,680 --> 00:52:23,680
Speaker 1: is livelihood. They're gonna get the very best they can

1054
00:52:23,719 --> 00:52:26,880
Speaker 1: possibly get, whatever that is from Roby. And I interviewed

1055
00:52:26,960 --> 00:52:29,520
Speaker 1: him and did a big thing on him Sunday, and

1056
00:52:29,560 --> 00:52:33,120
Speaker 1: he admitted I had bad games last year. And he said,

1057
00:52:33,120 --> 00:52:35,160
Speaker 1: I had some good games, but I had some bad games.

1058
00:52:35,200 --> 00:52:38,560
Speaker 1: All about consistency, and he could he can still run.

1059
00:52:39,080 --> 00:52:41,160
Speaker 1: You know, he's smart. He knows what it's like to

1060
00:52:41,160 --> 00:52:43,680
Speaker 1: win his Super Bowl, and he's got pride, and if

1061
00:52:43,719 --> 00:52:46,000
Speaker 1: you got pride, you want to bounce back. He knew

1062
00:52:46,040 --> 00:52:49,040
Speaker 1: the Broncos were ready to move on. We were all shocked.

1063
00:52:49,080 --> 00:52:52,919
Speaker 1: I think that the contract they gave Kareem I gave

1064
00:52:53,000 --> 00:52:57,120
Speaker 1: him a lot of guaranteed money and and Roby knows that.

1065
00:52:57,239 --> 00:52:59,480
Speaker 1: And so I think I don't know how good he

1066
00:52:59,520 --> 00:53:02,320
Speaker 1: can know how good he can be can be really good.

1067
00:53:02,800 --> 00:53:05,360
Speaker 1: But he's got money at Steak, and he's got pride

1068
00:53:05,360 --> 00:53:08,319
Speaker 1: at Steak, and he's been durable. That's a good combination

1069
00:53:08,400 --> 00:53:10,480
Speaker 1: for getting the best out of a player. John, if

1070
00:53:10,480 --> 00:53:13,200
Speaker 1: there was a team in the AFC, and let's just

1071
00:53:13,239 --> 00:53:15,200
Speaker 1: take the Texans out of the equation here, but a

1072
00:53:15,280 --> 00:53:17,200
Speaker 1: playoff team in the AFC that's not gonna make the

1073
00:53:17,200 --> 00:53:22,320
Speaker 1: playoffs from last year. Let me think, I know you'd

1074
00:53:22,320 --> 00:53:27,319
Speaker 1: like me to say Colts, but can't you do what.

1075
00:53:27,640 --> 00:53:29,560
Speaker 1: I wouldn't say the Calls. No, I wouldn't say the

1076
00:53:29,560 --> 00:53:34,040
Speaker 1: Colts either. It's not gonna be the Patriots. I think

1077
00:53:34,040 --> 00:53:36,200
Speaker 1: it's one of two. I mean, I know some people

1078
00:53:36,200 --> 00:53:39,200
Speaker 1: are picking the Texans in this little deal, but I'm

1079
00:53:39,239 --> 00:53:41,680
Speaker 1: not gonna allow Chargers. Don't think it'll be the Chiefs.

1080
00:53:41,680 --> 00:53:45,680
Speaker 1: It will be a couple of teams. Baltimore, Baltimore. Yes,

1081
00:53:45,760 --> 00:53:48,560
Speaker 1: Baltimore should be at the top of everybody's list. With

1082
00:53:48,719 --> 00:53:52,200
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson going into his second year, they their defense

1083
00:53:52,360 --> 00:53:55,160
Speaker 1: was devastated by free agency, and they let him go.

1084
00:53:55,640 --> 00:53:59,480
Speaker 1: They spent a lot of money on a couple of players.

1085
00:53:59,480 --> 00:54:02,799
Speaker 1: They brought in ear Old Thomas game contract and stunned everybody.

1086
00:54:03,000 --> 00:54:06,560
Speaker 1: But to me, their offense is still very suspect. So

1087
00:54:06,600 --> 00:54:08,960
Speaker 1: I would say the Ravens. And everybody's picking the Browns

1088
00:54:09,000 --> 00:54:11,720
Speaker 1: to win that division anyway, Well, I think the Browns

1089
00:54:11,760 --> 00:54:13,560
Speaker 1: at the very I'm not picking the Browns to win

1090
00:54:13,560 --> 00:54:16,320
Speaker 1: that division. At the very least, the Browns give you

1091
00:54:16,360 --> 00:54:19,359
Speaker 1: a hell of a game, people, I love the fact

1092
00:54:19,400 --> 00:54:22,399
Speaker 1: that the Browns being one of those franchises. I mean,

1093
00:54:22,400 --> 00:54:24,000
Speaker 1: obviously they had to have a little three year gap

1094
00:54:24,000 --> 00:54:26,279
Speaker 1: where they went away, but then they came back. But

1095
00:54:26,800 --> 00:54:28,840
Speaker 1: I feel like the NFL having the Browns be a

1096
00:54:28,880 --> 00:54:32,040
Speaker 1: good football team. Listen, They've got a passionate fan base.

1097
00:54:32,560 --> 00:54:35,520
Speaker 1: I think it's it's awesome that they're going to be,

1098
00:54:35,640 --> 00:54:38,040
Speaker 1: hopefully at some point at that level where they can

1099
00:54:38,080 --> 00:54:40,440
Speaker 1: participate in playoffs and all that kind of stuff. I

1100
00:54:40,520 --> 00:54:44,440
Speaker 1: just think if being to expect going from Owen sixteen

1101
00:54:44,560 --> 00:54:46,800
Speaker 1: to hey, we're gonna be twelve and four and two years,

1102
00:54:47,239 --> 00:54:50,160
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know. Now, they've got some individual

1103
00:54:50,320 --> 00:54:54,560
Speaker 1: talent on par with anybody in the league. Between Miles Garrett,

1104
00:54:54,719 --> 00:54:59,440
Speaker 1: obj Jarvis, Baker, Mayfield, just those four guys alone, then

1105
00:54:59,440 --> 00:55:01,600
Speaker 1: you throw on a Olivia Vernon who they picked up.

1106
00:55:01,880 --> 00:55:04,480
Speaker 1: I mean, they've got individual talent. But I still think

1107
00:55:05,040 --> 00:55:07,440
Speaker 1: that I still think you can have him in the secondary.

1108
00:55:07,880 --> 00:55:10,279
Speaker 1: I'm not convinced that Baker is gonna be, you know,

1109
00:55:10,320 --> 00:55:12,040
Speaker 1: the next coming of Tom Brady this year. I think

1110
00:55:12,040 --> 00:55:14,520
Speaker 1: he's a good quarterback. I wouldn't take him ahead of

1111
00:55:14,600 --> 00:55:17,520
Speaker 1: Sean Watson, but I think if the Browns had made

1112
00:55:17,520 --> 00:55:18,840
Speaker 1: the playoffs, I would have said that. I would have

1113
00:55:18,840 --> 00:55:21,399
Speaker 1: said the Browns. The Eggs factor is the first year

1114
00:55:21,480 --> 00:55:26,360
Speaker 1: head coach trying to scrawl all those big me first personalities.

1115
00:55:26,880 --> 00:55:29,799
Speaker 1: If if if Odell Beckham Junior is not getting the

1116
00:55:29,800 --> 00:55:33,280
Speaker 1: ball and they're three one, will he be happy? If

1117
00:55:33,320 --> 00:55:36,480
Speaker 1: if Antonio Brown if they're one in three and he's

1118
00:55:36,520 --> 00:55:39,160
Speaker 1: not getting the ball, how will he react? In Oakland?

1119
00:55:40,680 --> 00:55:45,480
Speaker 1: It makes me appreciate DeAndre Hopkins more every day that

1120
00:55:45,600 --> 00:55:47,759
Speaker 1: he's not one of these divas looking to be in

1121
00:55:47,760 --> 00:55:50,680
Speaker 1: the limelight all the time by his antics. Now he

1122
00:55:51,040 --> 00:55:53,200
Speaker 1: puts his head down, gets to work. I mean I

1123
00:55:53,239 --> 00:55:56,960
Speaker 1: think Hopkins he is a showman in a good way.

1124
00:55:57,360 --> 00:55:59,719
Speaker 1: I mean he like the oh yeah on the field.

1125
00:55:59,760 --> 00:56:02,799
Speaker 1: I mean he puts on a show and uh we

1126
00:56:02,920 --> 00:56:06,239
Speaker 1: had Jalila Dae on earlier and he talks about Drew

1127
00:56:06,280 --> 00:56:08,040
Speaker 1: asked him best dress and he said hot. You know

1128
00:56:08,120 --> 00:56:11,440
Speaker 1: hop is Uh he dresses flambuoyantly sometimes I love that.

1129
00:56:13,160 --> 00:56:15,640
Speaker 1: The best dressed. Yeah, but he hasn't been around here

1130
00:56:15,680 --> 00:56:17,360
Speaker 1: long and he and he put himself in there to it.

1131
00:56:17,360 --> 00:56:19,160
Speaker 1: I haven't seen him in the when the threads, Ye, yeah,

1132
00:56:19,280 --> 00:56:21,600
Speaker 1: it's probably the best. I mean, he's the most unique.

1133
00:56:21,680 --> 00:56:23,959
Speaker 1: What about Watson? Yeah, I think you nique a good

1134
00:56:23,960 --> 00:56:27,600
Speaker 1: way to put it. Yeah, yeah, Hop is Hop is hop.

1135
00:56:27,719 --> 00:56:29,680
Speaker 1: I mean it's you know, like, how do you explain

1136
00:56:29,760 --> 00:56:31,920
Speaker 1: like you know, Hop is hop? I mean, you know,

1137
00:56:31,960 --> 00:56:35,120
Speaker 1: he's gonna show up in uh Melinciaga, someday, he's gonna

1138
00:56:35,120 --> 00:56:37,400
Speaker 1: show up in some Louis and you never know what

1139
00:56:37,440 --> 00:56:40,920
Speaker 1: you're gonna get with Hop. But Watson, remember he's dressing

1140
00:56:40,960 --> 00:56:45,280
Speaker 1: in uh yodeling in Germany and shorts and uh dressed

1141
00:56:45,400 --> 00:56:49,600
Speaker 1: up like they are. No, he's what Watson is hilarious.

1142
00:56:49,680 --> 00:56:52,319
Speaker 1: I mean he's he's great. They're both wonderful. I mean

1143
00:56:52,360 --> 00:56:53,880
Speaker 1: just to have them on the team. And I like

1144
00:56:53,960 --> 00:56:56,520
Speaker 1: the way they the way they are off the field,

1145
00:56:56,560 --> 00:56:58,360
Speaker 1: on the field, the way they come into the building.

1146
00:56:58,440 --> 00:57:00,200
Speaker 1: It's it's just all part of the thing. You got

1147
00:57:00,200 --> 00:57:02,800
Speaker 1: to enjoy being a professional football player, enjoy your career,

1148
00:57:03,080 --> 00:57:05,239
Speaker 1: and they do it the right way. I saw a

1149
00:57:05,360 --> 00:57:09,080
Speaker 1: die online at a fundraiser and he looked very sharp,

1150
00:57:09,280 --> 00:57:13,920
Speaker 1: see and he said, he said, he, well, I'm excited

1151
00:57:13,960 --> 00:57:16,000
Speaker 1: he's on the team. I think that safety group is good.

1152
00:57:16,000 --> 00:57:18,400
Speaker 1: Like we said, general, what do you got going on

1153
00:57:18,440 --> 00:57:21,800

00:57:21,880 --> 00:57:25,480
Speaker 1: keep up. Every day I do takeaways today I have

1155
00:57:25,840 --> 00:57:30,040
Speaker 1: about the tight ends and how Ankins is taking advantage

1156
00:57:30,040 --> 00:57:33,480
Speaker 1: of Wearing and uh now Jordan Thomas being out and

1157
00:57:33,560 --> 00:57:35,880
Speaker 1: how bad they need to see Wearing on the field

1158
00:57:35,880 --> 00:57:39,240
Speaker 1: because of the they think he can be special. And

1159
00:57:39,520 --> 00:57:42,560
Speaker 1: I'm gonna write a kind of a synopsis of where

00:58:46,680 --> 00:58:50,760
Speaker 1: is going on? Texans Trading Camp Live, Mark Vandamir, John Harris,

1181
00:58:50,840 --> 00:58:53,040
Speaker 1: DP City who joins us in studio. We've got a

1182
00:58:53,080 --> 00:58:55,640
Speaker 1: lot to do here at a very limited amount of time.

1183
00:58:56,000 --> 00:58:59,360
Speaker 1: So the last thing, Johnny, describe what we were just

1184
00:58:59,440 --> 00:59:04,440
Speaker 1: consuming there. Well, Peyton Manning has put together these shows.

1185
00:59:04,480 --> 00:59:06,720
Speaker 1: He's an executive producer on these shows for the NFL

1186
00:59:06,800 --> 00:59:12,560
Speaker 1: celebration NFL one Celebration. It's called Peyton's Place, and he

1187
00:59:13,120 --> 00:59:18,040
Speaker 1: has done these different episodic JJ Watt's gonna be on

1188
00:59:18,040 --> 00:59:20,480
Speaker 1: one of them. I know that Dan Pastorini's gonna be

1189
00:59:20,520 --> 00:59:24,520
Speaker 1: on one of them. Yeah, they've done this. They're doing

1190
00:59:24,520 --> 00:59:26,720
Speaker 1: this thing. They call it the Greatest Catch and so

1191
00:59:27,400 --> 00:59:30,240
Speaker 1: back in the nineteen twenties, the Giants did this thing

1192
00:59:30,320 --> 00:59:33,560
Speaker 1: to draw up publicity for the NFL where their quarterbacks

1193
00:59:33,560 --> 00:59:36,040
Speaker 1: stood at the top of this building and threw a

1194
00:59:36,080 --> 00:59:38,480
Speaker 1: ball down to the best player in the Giants team.

1195
00:59:38,520 --> 00:59:40,440
Speaker 1: So basically would have been like Shawn Watson throwing one

1196
00:59:40,440 --> 00:59:46,320
Speaker 1: to DeAndre Hopkins from a skyscraper onto the park next door. Yeah. Well,

1197
00:59:46,360 --> 00:59:50,680
Speaker 1: Peyton Manning is doing that with Chris Carter. And the

1198
00:59:50,680 --> 00:59:54,520
Speaker 1: problem is is now the park used to be a

1199
00:59:54,600 --> 00:59:57,680
Speaker 1: lot larger so that the receiver could stand closer to

1200
00:59:57,720 --> 01:00:00,360
Speaker 1: the building. Now there it's like this. It was like

1201
01:00:00,400 --> 01:00:03,240
Speaker 1: eighty five yards. Yeah, I mean, but it's gotta go down,

1202
01:00:03,600 --> 01:00:05,760
Speaker 1: go down, So he's got some leeway, but he's got

1203
01:00:05,760 --> 01:00:08,560
Speaker 1: to go over these trees. Carter's gotta try and find

1204
01:00:08,560 --> 01:00:11,480
Speaker 1: the ball. Yeah, and he's wearing a helmet, but it's

1205
01:00:11,560 --> 01:00:14,920
Speaker 1: it's comical. And he's standing on a balcony that's like

1206
01:00:15,000 --> 01:00:18,600
Speaker 1: two bites. Yeah, he can't even like step into the throw.

1207
01:00:19,720 --> 01:00:22,960
Speaker 1: He tumbles over. All right, dep What what about camp yesterday?

1208
01:00:23,000 --> 01:00:25,680
Speaker 1: Who did you interview? I interviewed a J. Moore who's

1209
01:00:25,760 --> 01:00:28,200
Speaker 1: just had a phenomenal camp. So have we aired that yet?

1210
01:00:28,240 --> 01:00:32,000
Speaker 1: By the way, on our particular on South I believe

1211
01:00:32,000 --> 01:00:34,080
Speaker 1: it is okay. I think it's gonna make the show tonight.

1212
01:00:34,160 --> 01:00:35,600
Speaker 1: I don't know if we'll get in there today because

1213
01:00:35,600 --> 01:00:37,680
Speaker 1: we have Landry coming up next, but it'll be on

1214
01:00:37,800 --> 01:00:40,080
Speaker 1: Texans All Access tonight, Infinity one on one percent of

1215
01:00:40,080 --> 01:00:46,600
Speaker 1: my D's planet. It's also on Twitter, just one. I love.

1216
01:00:46,880 --> 01:00:49,760
Speaker 1: I love interviewing A. J. Moore because the fact that

1217
01:00:49,880 --> 01:00:51,680
Speaker 1: it seemed like every day in camp we saw him

1218
01:00:51,680 --> 01:00:54,440
Speaker 1: make a big, big play on defense, on special teams.

1219
01:00:54,440 --> 01:00:56,760
Speaker 1: He was everywhere all the day. Anytime Bill O'Brien talks

1220
01:00:56,800 --> 01:00:59,000
Speaker 1: about you and he wasn't asked about you, is a

1221
01:00:59,000 --> 01:01:02,280
Speaker 1: good thing, he said, he to talk about him all day. Yeah.

1222
01:01:02,080 --> 01:01:04,560
Speaker 1: I rarely hear Bill O'Brien talk about a player like that,

1223
01:01:04,600 --> 01:01:06,480
Speaker 1: and a J. Moore. I mean, what's there not to

1224
01:01:06,480 --> 01:01:08,960
Speaker 1: love about him? He led the team in special teams tackles.

1225
01:01:09,040 --> 01:01:11,880
Speaker 1: Last year, he played in all sixteen games. He was

1226
01:01:11,920 --> 01:01:15,480
Speaker 1: on the Patriots squad and then they released him. We

1227
01:01:15,520 --> 01:01:17,480
Speaker 1: picked him up right before the season started and then

1228
01:01:17,480 --> 01:01:19,360
Speaker 1: he was off to the races. He played all sixteen

1229
01:01:19,360 --> 01:01:22,160
Speaker 1: games a year, and you know he's been here ever

1230
01:01:22,200 --> 01:01:24,440
Speaker 1: since and really working hard. Right now, John's you get

1231
01:01:24,440 --> 01:01:27,000
Speaker 1: that NFL Films music ready please for the running back breakdown?

1232
01:01:27,040 --> 01:01:30,280
Speaker 1: But dp does the safety group win the award for

1233
01:01:30,640 --> 01:01:36,400
Speaker 1: best Position Group Interview Skills level of interest? Well, I've

1234
01:01:36,400 --> 01:01:38,600
Speaker 1: only had about five because it was five days again.

1235
01:01:38,680 --> 01:01:41,280
Speaker 1: But the tight ends are right there too, because Jordan Thomas. Yeah,

1236
01:01:41,360 --> 01:01:43,760
Speaker 1: those guys are good. Those guys are good. It's it's

1237
01:01:43,800 --> 01:01:46,160
Speaker 1: probably not fair to name a winner in this category,

1238
01:01:46,200 --> 01:01:48,959
Speaker 1: but when you when you look at Gibson a Die

1239
01:01:49,040 --> 01:01:52,560
Speaker 1: who we heard from earlier. More okay, I mean those

1240
01:01:52,600 --> 01:01:56,720
Speaker 1: three right there are great, and Read obviously has always

1241
01:01:56,720 --> 01:01:58,760
Speaker 1: been good even as a rookie. Read would he was

1242
01:01:58,800 --> 01:02:01,080
Speaker 1: a non rookie. It wasn't like the invasion of the

1243
01:02:01,120 --> 01:02:04,240
Speaker 1: body Snatchers where I'm just trying to be a good Nimes.

1244
01:02:04,280 --> 01:02:07,040
Speaker 1: Just fine. His finsonality is definitely there, and I wonder

1245
01:02:07,040 --> 01:02:08,480
Speaker 1: if he's going to make that year one to year

1246
01:02:08,480 --> 01:02:11,520
Speaker 1: to jump at the podium as well. You know they

1247
01:02:11,600 --> 01:02:13,440
Speaker 1: make it on the field, But how could he go up?

1248
01:02:13,800 --> 01:02:16,280
Speaker 1: I don't know how we've been yesterday. You look at

1249
01:02:16,320 --> 01:02:18,640
Speaker 1: the soundbites from yesterday, just this is kind of inside

1250
01:02:18,640 --> 01:02:21,280
Speaker 1: baseball stuff, but you know it's like forty five seconds

1251
01:02:21,280 --> 01:02:23,400
Speaker 1: and those are long, you know, because Read, you know.

1252
01:02:23,480 --> 01:02:27,960
Speaker 1: Red'll just tell you what's going on. Awesome. Stanford educated

1253
01:02:28,040 --> 01:02:31,560
Speaker 1: and very very chipping away to his engineering degree. He

1254
01:02:31,560 --> 01:02:33,880
Speaker 1: gets asked about that every now. Engineering degree. He's an

1255
01:02:33,880 --> 01:02:38,120
Speaker 1: industrial engineering. It's stand to join the club. He's gonna

1256
01:02:38,160 --> 01:02:41,960
Speaker 1: join the engineering club and I are charter members. I

1257
01:02:41,960 --> 01:02:43,840
Speaker 1: don't I don't remember anything from engineering. I don't know.

1258
01:02:43,880 --> 01:02:46,440
Speaker 1: I wouldn't have graduated if I was in that major. Okay,

1259
01:02:46,440 --> 01:02:49,000
Speaker 1: I had to be in like advertising, make a magazine,

1260
01:02:49,080 --> 01:02:51,720
Speaker 1: paste and cut. Okay, I can do that. I can

1261
01:02:51,760 --> 01:02:54,880
Speaker 1: do that. It's uh, you know, while I don't use

1262
01:02:54,880 --> 01:02:57,760
Speaker 1: it very much, and by very much I mean never.

1263
01:02:58,040 --> 01:03:00,000
Speaker 1: I think the one great thing about an engineering degree,

1264
01:03:00,040 --> 01:03:01,760
Speaker 1: and Johnny can probably attest to this, is that when

1265
01:03:01,800 --> 01:03:04,200
Speaker 1: you tell people you have an engineering degree, they automatically

1266
01:03:04,240 --> 01:03:06,760
Speaker 1: think you're just super brilliant. Yeah, exact, I don't ever

1267
01:03:06,840 --> 01:03:08,480
Speaker 1: have to say I mean I could. I don't have

1268
01:03:08,480 --> 01:03:10,520
Speaker 1: to say anything after that. And then I opened my mouth.

1269
01:03:12,440 --> 01:03:14,400
Speaker 1: So do you hang out with the IT guys and

1270
01:03:14,520 --> 01:03:18,240
Speaker 1: like just talk shops sometimes they do? Was we downloaded

1271
01:03:18,240 --> 01:03:20,920
Speaker 1: this new software and it really figured out how to

1272
01:03:21,000 --> 01:03:26,640
Speaker 1: use it? Yet, Yeah, when you figure out that new

1273
01:03:26,680 --> 01:03:29,680
Speaker 1: audio software, let me know. Thanks, a lot of All right,

1274
01:03:29,720 --> 01:03:31,800
Speaker 1: so DP will be on the field with us tomorrow.

1275
01:03:31,920 --> 01:03:34,280
Speaker 1: Let's do this running back group. Johnny Harris breaks it down.

1276
01:03:34,360 --> 01:03:36,680
Speaker 1: Let's start it Okay, all, let's go. Let's start it

1277
01:03:36,720 --> 01:03:43,040
Speaker 1: off with Lamar Miller from South Florida. I think Lamar

1278
01:03:43,240 --> 01:03:45,560
Speaker 1: is one of the more underd players in this whole league.

1279
01:03:45,680 --> 01:03:48,680
Speaker 1: I see so many fantasy things and Lamar's down in

1280
01:03:48,760 --> 01:03:52,040
Speaker 1: the thirties. I just think he's so reliable. Yeah, I

1281
01:03:52,080 --> 01:03:54,000
Speaker 1: think everything that he does on a field, he can

1282
01:03:54,040 --> 01:03:57,280
Speaker 1: pass protect, he can run outside inside zone very well.

1283
01:03:57,360 --> 01:03:59,720
Speaker 1: His vision's great. The last couple of years, he's coming

1284
01:03:59,720 --> 01:04:02,560
Speaker 1: to camp a little bit slimmer, and I think that's

1285
01:04:02,600 --> 01:04:05,200
Speaker 1: paid off when you see the burst. I mean ninety

1286
01:04:05,240 --> 01:04:07,960
Speaker 1: seven yards last year against the Titans, nobody caught him.

1287
01:04:08,120 --> 01:04:10,080
Speaker 1: I mean another five yards of Dory Jackson might have.

1288
01:04:10,200 --> 01:04:13,360
Speaker 1: But I just think he's so reliable. What you want

1289
01:04:13,360 --> 01:04:15,320
Speaker 1: to have in this offense, when you've got three receivers

1290
01:04:15,320 --> 01:04:17,200
Speaker 1: like you have, and you got a Teddyan crew that's emerging,

1291
01:04:17,600 --> 01:04:20,320
Speaker 1: you gotta have a running back that can do different things.

1292
01:04:20,840 --> 01:04:23,080
Speaker 1: And I think Lamar Miller does his many different things.

1293
01:04:23,440 --> 01:04:25,840
Speaker 1: I just am more impressed with him day by day,

1294
01:04:25,880 --> 01:04:28,080
Speaker 1: and I know fans are like, oh, we need running

1295
01:04:28,520 --> 01:04:31,080
Speaker 1: Lamar Miller is a quality NFL running back and he

1296
01:04:31,120 --> 01:04:36,280
Speaker 1: passes that smart, tough, dependable, no question that three words. Yeah, tough, smart,

1297
01:04:36,320 --> 01:04:39,560
Speaker 1: must have skill set. Well, really, it's more characteristics than

1298
01:04:39,560 --> 01:04:42,400
Speaker 1: everything else that this coaching staff wants. Diante for him

1299
01:04:42,440 --> 01:04:45,560
Speaker 1: in third year out of the University of Texas, can

1300
01:04:45,600 --> 01:04:49,680
Speaker 1: be anything he wants to be. Wow, can be anything

1301
01:04:49,920 --> 01:04:54,920
Speaker 1: he wants to be. He is that talented. It's just

1302
01:04:54,960 --> 01:04:59,760
Speaker 1: a matter of what Deonte wants when when he decides

1303
01:05:00,160 --> 01:05:04,040
Speaker 1: it's time, then it's gonna be really difficult to stop

1304
01:05:04,080 --> 01:05:06,640
Speaker 1: that guy because he's got speed, he's got pillow soft hands,

1305
01:05:06,960 --> 01:05:10,200
Speaker 1: he's got size, he's got everything you want. When he

1306
01:05:10,400 --> 01:05:13,600
Speaker 1: decides he wants it, it will happen and it will

1307
01:05:13,640 --> 01:05:16,760
Speaker 1: be scary for teams to face him. Josh Ferguson, it

1308
01:05:16,840 --> 01:05:18,720
Speaker 1: has been around the block a little bit in this league.

1309
01:05:18,760 --> 01:05:21,600
Speaker 1: Third year out of Illinois, and he's quick. Five ten

1310
01:05:21,680 --> 01:05:23,960
Speaker 1: two h five. My nickname for him is sound effects

1311
01:05:24,120 --> 01:05:28,160
Speaker 1: because he goes. That's how he moves. He catches the

1312
01:05:28,240 --> 01:05:30,000
Speaker 1: ball very well out of the backfield. He's the guy

1313
01:05:30,040 --> 01:05:32,560
Speaker 1: that the Texans like coming out of Illinois in the draft.

1314
01:05:33,240 --> 01:05:34,880
Speaker 1: They weren't able to get their hands on him until

1315
01:05:34,960 --> 01:05:38,080
Speaker 1: last year, and then numbers didn't allow him to stay

1316
01:05:38,080 --> 01:05:39,560
Speaker 1: here and think getting up going to the Patriots for

1317
01:05:39,560 --> 01:05:42,080
Speaker 1: a little bit. When you see him, you're like, WHOA,

1318
01:05:42,120 --> 01:05:44,840
Speaker 1: that guy's quick. Who's number four? That's Josh Ferguson. He

1319
01:05:44,880 --> 01:05:46,840
Speaker 1: can scoot. I don't think he's never down back, and

1320
01:05:46,840 --> 01:05:48,040
Speaker 1: I don't think he's a guy you want to put

1321
01:05:48,080 --> 01:05:50,240
Speaker 1: it outside inside his zone type things, but you want

1322
01:05:50,240 --> 01:05:51,640
Speaker 1: to get him the ball in space. If he could

1323
01:05:51,640 --> 01:05:53,560
Speaker 1: prove he can protect, he's got an opportunity to be

1324
01:05:53,600 --> 01:05:55,760
Speaker 1: a third down back for this team. Taiwan Jones is

1325
01:05:55,880 --> 01:05:58,720
Speaker 1: entering his ninth year the NFL out of Eastern Washington.

1326
01:05:58,840 --> 01:06:03,880
Speaker 1: He's not exactly a prolific ball carrier, but he's a

1327
01:06:03,920 --> 01:06:07,160
Speaker 1: special teamer. He's six feet one ninety five adam minimum.

1328
01:06:07,200 --> 01:06:10,040
Speaker 1: He's a special teamer, but he's got some juice. Just

1329
01:06:10,120 --> 01:06:12,640
Speaker 1: watching him run the football, I would always forget about

1330
01:06:12,720 --> 01:06:15,640
Speaker 1: him thinking about the running backs. He can absolutely fly.

1331
01:06:15,720 --> 01:06:17,560
Speaker 1: It's a good veteran presence in the locker room to

1332
01:06:17,600 --> 01:06:20,320
Speaker 1: go along with Lamar Miller. I wouldn't be surprised if

1333
01:06:20,320 --> 01:06:22,640
Speaker 1: you end up he ends up making this team because

1334
01:06:22,640 --> 01:06:24,760
Speaker 1: he's got that veteran presence and he will contribute on

1335
01:06:24,800 --> 01:06:27,840
Speaker 1: special teams and he can fly, so you got some

1336
01:06:27,920 --> 01:06:30,840
Speaker 1: returnability there if you need it. Great storyline on this team,

1337
01:06:30,960 --> 01:06:33,560
Speaker 1: it's it's more of it under the radar type of storyline.

1338
01:06:33,560 --> 01:06:36,000
Speaker 1: But Buddy, how does he stick with the roster as

1339
01:06:36,040 --> 01:06:38,800
Speaker 1: a special teamer? He's a running back? Is he gonna

1340
01:06:38,840 --> 01:06:41,840
Speaker 1: get some carries this preseason? Probably of you, But what

1341
01:06:41,880 --> 01:06:43,640
Speaker 1: they really want to see is what these other guys do.

1342
01:06:43,760 --> 01:06:46,080
Speaker 1: So it's gonna be interesting for him to see how

1343
01:06:46,120 --> 01:06:48,680
Speaker 1: he sticks around or tries to. How they divide up

1344
01:06:48,720 --> 01:06:51,400
Speaker 1: the carries for preseason will be really interesting to me. Yeah,

1345
01:06:51,600 --> 01:06:53,560
Speaker 1: I'm really curious to see how that goes. I don't

1346
01:06:53,600 --> 01:06:55,280
Speaker 1: you to see Lamar at all. No, I don't think

1347
01:06:56,440 --> 01:06:58,440
Speaker 1: at all. I think you're right. I think Lamar may

1348
01:06:58,480 --> 01:07:00,120
Speaker 1: not play at all. I think you got it. You've

1349
01:07:00,120 --> 01:07:02,360
Speaker 1: got so many guys are trying to term what you're

1350
01:07:02,360 --> 01:07:04,240
Speaker 1: gonna do him. Bud, he's one of them, Bud, He's

1351
01:07:04,240 --> 01:07:06,000
Speaker 1: one of them. I think he's a little bit slimmer

1352
01:07:06,000 --> 01:07:07,880
Speaker 1: than he was last year. I want to see what

1353
01:07:07,960 --> 01:07:09,520
Speaker 1: he doesn't live actually, because we've never seen him as

1354
01:07:09,520 --> 01:07:11,760
Speaker 1: a running back. The only reason I need to see

1355
01:07:11,840 --> 01:07:14,560
Speaker 1: Lamar is if I'm worried about path protection. Because the

1356
01:07:14,600 --> 01:07:17,320
Speaker 1: preseason now they're sending extra people. It's no longer vanilla

1357
01:07:17,560 --> 01:07:20,600
Speaker 1: exactly everything. I might need Lamar in there when Watson's

1358
01:07:20,640 --> 01:07:22,720
Speaker 1: in there, just to make sure that I protect Watson.

1359
01:07:23,080 --> 01:07:25,880
Speaker 1: And that'll only be a few reps in the first exactly,

1360
01:07:26,120 --> 01:07:28,320
Speaker 1: so we'll see how that shakes out. That's buddy, how

1361
01:07:28,360 --> 01:07:34,080
Speaker 1: all right? Next up, Damara Crockett, rookie, Missouri five eleven

1362
01:07:34,120 --> 01:07:36,440
Speaker 1: to twenty five. You've talked about this guy all offseason long.

1363
01:07:36,440 --> 01:07:38,440
Speaker 1: It's got great speed, or had it before the injury.

1364
01:07:38,480 --> 01:07:40,440
Speaker 1: How you looking right now? He ran four for it

1365
01:07:40,480 --> 01:07:42,600
Speaker 1: his pro day. He can move. I watched him run

1366
01:07:42,600 --> 01:07:44,120
Speaker 1: down on special teams the other day and he was

1367
01:07:44,200 --> 01:07:46,200
Speaker 1: keeping up with A J. Moran Johnson about the most

1368
01:07:46,200 --> 01:07:49,040
Speaker 1: of me. He's flying and he hits the whole heart.

1369
01:07:49,120 --> 01:07:51,960
Speaker 1: He's a big guy. I think he is going to

1370
01:07:52,200 --> 01:07:55,320
Speaker 1: make a really strong push in the preseason games to

1371
01:07:55,400 --> 01:07:59,240
Speaker 1: have eyes on him. Coron Higden, boy, he's a mighty might.

1372
01:07:59,440 --> 01:08:01,640
Speaker 1: I mean, you see him, You're like, that's a gnat

1373
01:08:01,640 --> 01:08:04,560
Speaker 1: compared to you know, the rest of everybody else. But

1374
01:08:04,680 --> 01:08:07,960
Speaker 1: he runs between the tackles with a bandit like. He

1375
01:08:08,040 --> 01:08:11,200
Speaker 1: doesn't back down from anybody. And I think the coaching

1376
01:08:11,240 --> 01:08:14,040
Speaker 1: staff likes that. But how much of a pounding can

1377
01:08:14,080 --> 01:08:17,479
Speaker 1: he take at a legitimate five eight five nine? Now

1378
01:08:17,479 --> 01:08:21,360
Speaker 1: when you see he's stocky, but he's not a flyer.

1379
01:08:21,400 --> 01:08:22,600
Speaker 1: But I don't need a fly I don't need a

1380
01:08:22,600 --> 01:08:24,439
Speaker 1: guy that runs four three running back. I just need

1381
01:08:24,439 --> 01:08:27,240
Speaker 1: a durable guy in the run between the tackles with

1382
01:08:27,360 --> 01:08:29,920
Speaker 1: good vision and power. Higden does that. I think he's

1383
01:08:29,920 --> 01:08:32,400
Speaker 1: made an impression. I think these two rookies, Higden and

1384
01:08:32,400 --> 01:08:35,320
Speaker 1: Crocket have made a significant impression on the coach. They're

1385
01:08:35,360 --> 01:08:37,639
Speaker 1: gonna have to do something on special teams. I don't

1386
01:08:37,640 --> 01:08:39,800
Speaker 1: even know what, but it's gonna be something. Oh we

1387
01:08:39,880 --> 01:08:45,559
Speaker 1: got one more right, we got the fullback? Yes, yes, yes,

1388
01:08:45,760 --> 01:08:49,760
Speaker 1: from Katie from Aggie Land. What do you think? How

1389
01:08:49,840 --> 01:08:52,200
Speaker 1: much is this guy loved in Aggie Land that tech

1390
01:08:52,240 --> 01:08:54,759
Speaker 1: SAgs did a documentary on him. Yeah, it was tweeted

1391
01:08:54,760 --> 01:08:57,640
Speaker 1: out yesterday, Yeah, tweet out yesterday. So I want to

1392
01:08:57,640 --> 01:08:59,000
Speaker 1: I want to go see I talk to him about it.

1393
01:08:59,000 --> 01:09:00,400
Speaker 1: And it was funny he just gotta play it down

1394
01:09:00,760 --> 01:09:04,479
Speaker 1: as rookies probably do. He's really interesting to me from

1395
01:09:04,520 --> 01:09:07,240
Speaker 1: a number of different angles because when you run fullback,

1396
01:09:07,600 --> 01:09:09,640
Speaker 1: he's as good a pass protector as Lamar Miller is

1397
01:09:10,000 --> 01:09:12,479
Speaker 1: just watching himass protect the other day. He's brilliant some

1398
01:09:12,520 --> 01:09:16,040
Speaker 1: of the running backs for he's going against bigger linebackers

1399
01:09:16,080 --> 01:09:18,400
Speaker 1: and he's doing a really good job holding up against

1400
01:09:18,400 --> 01:09:19,960
Speaker 1: I don't get him on the field, and he's got

1401
01:09:20,040 --> 01:09:22,439
Speaker 1: good hands and he runs into four fives in the

1402
01:09:22,520 --> 01:09:25,759
Speaker 1: preseason the field. He'll go on all four special teams.

1403
01:09:26,200 --> 01:09:28,240
Speaker 1: I think he's gonna make this team because of the

1404
01:09:28,280 --> 01:09:31,960
Speaker 1: Swiss Army knife capabilities that he has. I'm excited for

1405
01:09:32,040 --> 01:09:33,559
Speaker 1: him to see what he's able to do as a rookie.

1406
01:09:33,560 --> 01:09:36,439
Speaker 1: And beyond that's your running back group. Next up, Landry's

1407
01:09:36,520 --> 01:09:40,639
Speaker 1: questions on training camp as we weigh things involving your

1408
01:09:40,720 --> 01:09:43,519
Speaker 1: Houston Texans and the rest of the AFC South. It's

1409
01:09:43,560 --> 01:09:47,640
Speaker 1: Texans Training Camp Live. It's Training Camp Live. This is

1410
01:09:47,640 --> 01:09:56,519
Speaker 1: the show Watson Radio. My goodness, Oh yeah you are?

1411
01:09:57,120 --> 01:09:59,960
Speaker 1: And where the Honday Texans Radio Studio, Mark Vandam Aaron

1412
01:10:00,080 --> 01:10:03,000
Speaker 1: John Harris as we'll be on tonight Texans All Access

1413
01:10:03,120 --> 01:10:05,560
Speaker 1: at six o'clock. I got a lot of stuff for

1414
01:10:05,640 --> 01:10:09,200
Speaker 1: that show tonight. Joe Webb, who's in his tenth year.

1415
01:10:09,720 --> 01:10:13,320
Speaker 1: That is awesome. Joe Webbing is ten tenth year. How

1416
01:10:13,360 --> 01:10:16,080
Speaker 1: has he stuck around? We're gonna talk to him about that.

1417
01:10:16,920 --> 01:10:20,400
Speaker 1: Landry Locker sticking with us for this segment, doing some

1418
01:10:20,520 --> 01:10:23,400
Speaker 1: questions about camp as he's not on the field today.

1419
01:10:23,439 --> 01:10:25,679
Speaker 1: He'll be back out there tomorrow as well. So what's

1420
01:10:25,680 --> 01:10:28,080
Speaker 1: going on? Landry? Good morning? What's up? Fella's good? Good

1421
01:10:28,120 --> 01:10:30,040
Speaker 1: to hear your voices. Although we're not in front of

1422
01:10:30,040 --> 01:10:32,439
Speaker 1: each other, I still feel y'all's presence very strongly, So

1423
01:10:32,479 --> 01:10:34,960
Speaker 1: it's good to be with good. Who has done the

1424
01:10:35,000 --> 01:10:39,280
Speaker 1: most for themselves? Five practices into training camp? What player

1425
01:10:39,320 --> 01:10:41,400
Speaker 1: would you say has done the most for himself? I

1426
01:10:41,479 --> 01:10:44,280
Speaker 1: know it's early, but it's never too early to make

1427
01:10:44,280 --> 01:10:47,960
Speaker 1: a good impression. What player has done that? Several candidates here.

1428
01:10:48,000 --> 01:10:50,679
Speaker 1: I think a J. Moore his play at safety. He's

1429
01:10:50,680 --> 01:10:52,920
Speaker 1: done a lot. Because you know we're talking about Buddy

1430
01:10:52,960 --> 01:10:55,240
Speaker 1: Howett running back. I don't know if he'll even be

1431
01:10:55,240 --> 01:10:58,080
Speaker 1: given the opportunity to really prove himself as a back.

1432
01:10:58,160 --> 01:11:00,559
Speaker 1: So he's gonna have to do it, maybe elusively. And

1433
01:11:00,600 --> 01:11:03,679
Speaker 1: this this might just be me talking exclusively on special teams,

1434
01:11:04,040 --> 01:11:07,360
Speaker 1: whereas Moore has this chance to be that fourth safety.

1435
01:11:07,600 --> 01:11:09,960
Speaker 1: You know they're gonna keep four safeties. You can be

1436
01:11:10,080 --> 01:11:13,080
Speaker 1: that fourth safety and say I'm in. You know, I'm

1437
01:11:13,120 --> 01:11:16,400
Speaker 1: the guy. And I can also play special teams like

1438
01:11:16,400 --> 01:11:18,360
Speaker 1: a baller because I led the team and the special

1439
01:11:18,360 --> 01:11:22,280
Speaker 1: team stops last year. I think Jordan Nakens is a

1440
01:11:22,320 --> 01:11:24,599
Speaker 1: guy that we talked about. John Klain brought him up

1441
01:11:24,600 --> 01:11:27,680
Speaker 1: a little while ago. In large part the one thing

1442
01:11:27,680 --> 01:11:29,559
Speaker 1: I look at Landry a lot of times when training

1443
01:11:29,640 --> 01:11:34,400
Speaker 1: camp is opportunity opened the door. Who has stepped through it?

1444
01:11:34,640 --> 01:11:37,080
Speaker 1: And I think that Jordan Nakins has done that because

1445
01:11:37,240 --> 01:11:39,720
Speaker 1: JT got hurt I think day two or day day three.

1446
01:11:39,800 --> 01:11:42,360
Speaker 1: I think he got hurt inside and we haven't seen

1447
01:11:42,439 --> 01:11:44,559
Speaker 1: him for a couple of days. And Kylie Waren has

1448
01:11:44,560 --> 01:11:47,880
Speaker 1: been on PU P NFI to start the year, so

1449
01:11:47,920 --> 01:11:49,680
Speaker 1: we haven't seen him in practice. We've just seen him

1450
01:11:49,720 --> 01:11:51,639
Speaker 1: working out and Nakes will just look like a total stud.

1451
01:11:51,760 --> 01:11:54,000
Speaker 1: So Aikins has stepped in and said, look, you drafted

1452
01:11:54,040 --> 01:11:55,720
Speaker 1: me in the third round. You drafted me three rounds

1453
01:11:55,760 --> 01:11:58,679
Speaker 1: ahead of Jordan Thomas. You drafted me a few spots

1454
01:11:59,000 --> 01:12:02,200
Speaker 1: ahead of where Wearing was drafted. You guys believe in me,

1455
01:12:02,240 --> 01:12:05,800
Speaker 1: and now I'm gonna make that payoff. And he's he

1456
01:12:05,920 --> 01:12:08,719
Speaker 1: caught everything. Sunday he made a catch going across the middle,

1457
01:12:08,760 --> 01:12:12,240
Speaker 1: a one handed catch, and it was he was running

1458
01:12:12,640 --> 01:12:15,640
Speaker 1: literally right at me and I see the ball and

1459
01:12:15,640 --> 01:12:17,840
Speaker 1: I'm like, there's no way, and he just reached out

1460
01:12:17,920 --> 01:12:20,519
Speaker 1: one hand and just it was not It was not

1461
01:12:20,600 --> 01:12:22,320
Speaker 1: like one hand pulled to the body and then security.

1462
01:12:22,320 --> 01:12:24,680
Speaker 1: It was like one hand, snatch it, tucket get the

1463
01:12:24,680 --> 01:12:27,160
Speaker 1: first down. It was phenomenal. Then he caught a touchdown

1464
01:12:27,160 --> 01:12:29,000
Speaker 1: on the next play of a seam roddis I think

1465
01:12:29,000 --> 01:12:31,040
Speaker 1: it's been Jordan Nakins to me that one guy with

1466
01:12:31,080 --> 01:12:34,200
Speaker 1: opportunities opened that door even further for himself. I thought

1467
01:12:34,280 --> 01:12:37,040
Speaker 1: Lonnie did some good things early but now nicked up.

1468
01:12:37,080 --> 01:12:39,200
Speaker 1: So we'll see how long that's gonna take for him

1469
01:12:39,240 --> 01:12:42,040
Speaker 1: to get back, because look, he's gonna make the club.

1470
01:12:42,840 --> 01:12:45,120
Speaker 1: The you can't make the club in the tub expression

1471
01:12:45,160 --> 01:12:47,599
Speaker 1: does not apply to him. He's gonna make the club.

1472
01:12:47,600 --> 01:12:49,439
Speaker 1: But he's got to find a way to get out

1473
01:12:49,439 --> 01:12:52,000
Speaker 1: there and get better because these reps are so valuable

1474
01:12:52,040 --> 01:12:54,800
Speaker 1: to him. So they are numerous guys you could point too.

1475
01:12:55,120 --> 01:12:57,479
Speaker 1: I would say the two rookie lineman. I mean, they

1476
01:12:57,479 --> 01:12:59,680
Speaker 1: have really opened some eyes out here. And you know

1477
01:13:00,120 --> 01:13:03,360
Speaker 1: McClain brought up ranking ranking. You know, Rankin was drafted

1478
01:13:03,400 --> 01:13:05,479
Speaker 1: third round last year. But these guys being first and

1479
01:13:05,520 --> 01:13:07,840
Speaker 1: second round this year. It's not flavor of the month either.

1480
01:13:07,840 --> 01:13:10,799
Speaker 1: They're really showing out, so good for them. It's early,

1481
01:13:11,120 --> 01:13:13,320
Speaker 1: but a good start for them. Ye all right. Leveon

1482
01:13:13,400 --> 01:13:16,920
Speaker 1: Bell yesterday he apologized to fantasy football owners for holding

1483
01:13:16,920 --> 01:13:20,120
Speaker 1: out last season. You guys both have to apologize to

1484
01:13:20,200 --> 01:13:23,839
Speaker 1: your fans for something you did last season in twenty eighteen.

1485
01:13:24,600 --> 01:13:27,400
Speaker 1: Oh I like this, Oh I like it. I mean

1486
01:13:27,479 --> 01:13:31,559
Speaker 1: I don't like it. I really wanted some prep time.

1487
01:13:31,960 --> 01:13:35,440
Speaker 1: If I was gonna have to, I gotta put okay,

1488
01:13:35,479 --> 01:13:38,120
Speaker 1: So we have to apologize for something we did last year,

1489
01:13:38,800 --> 01:13:42,280
Speaker 1: something you did in twenty eighteen. You have to apologize

1490
01:13:42,280 --> 01:13:44,120
Speaker 1: to the fans for well, I gotta I gotta tell

1491
01:13:44,120 --> 01:13:46,760
Speaker 1: you this, like I'm always trying to do the perfect broadcast,

1492
01:13:46,840 --> 01:13:49,960
Speaker 1: and there's no such thing. So that gives you the

1493
01:13:50,040 --> 01:13:53,840
Speaker 1: nature of my satisfaction level after a broadcast, I'm I'm

1494
01:13:53,960 --> 01:13:56,759
Speaker 1: usually i'm if I feel like I did a good job,

1495
01:13:57,280 --> 01:13:59,639
Speaker 1: that's you know, I don't want to say it's rare,

1496
01:13:59,720 --> 01:14:02,320
Speaker 1: but I don't usually leave the boost that was great,

1497
01:14:02,360 --> 01:14:04,120
Speaker 1: I did a great job that I'm thinking, well, that

1498
01:14:04,160 --> 01:14:06,240
Speaker 1: was pretty good except for this, this, this, and this.

1499
01:14:06,320 --> 01:14:08,840
Speaker 1: So I always want to apologize for this, this, this

1500
01:14:08,880 --> 01:14:13,320
Speaker 1: and this and that's. Uh, you know, that's basically what

1501
01:14:13,400 --> 01:14:17,040
Speaker 1: I'm thinking about here. I know one that I'll go with.

1502
01:14:17,720 --> 01:14:21,599
Speaker 1: I during Cherney camp last year, I remember saying that,

1503
01:14:23,040 --> 01:14:26,920
Speaker 1: I remember saying that the offensive line would be better

1504
01:14:26,960 --> 01:14:28,479
Speaker 1: than it actually that it turned out to be. It was.

1505
01:14:28,479 --> 01:14:30,080
Speaker 1: It was a tough year for the offensive line. At

1506
01:14:30,080 --> 01:14:32,800
Speaker 1: points I thought, watch the offensive line with the green bar,

1507
01:14:32,960 --> 01:14:35,840
Speaker 1: like okay, I think secretly this line could be okay.

1508
01:14:36,160 --> 01:14:38,960
Speaker 1: And there were moments where they rand ball, especially in

1509
01:14:38,960 --> 01:14:40,040
Speaker 1: the middle of the year, and I thought it was

1510
01:14:40,200 --> 01:14:42,559
Speaker 1: was okay. But it's overall it wasn't where I thought

1511
01:14:42,560 --> 01:14:44,680
Speaker 1: it would be. That would probably be that would be

1512
01:14:44,720 --> 01:14:46,320
Speaker 1: the one thing. The other the other one would be

1513
01:14:47,320 --> 01:14:51,920
Speaker 1: um at, uh yeah, that would that would be it.

1514
01:14:51,960 --> 01:14:54,160
Speaker 1: That would be that, you know what I apologize for

1515
01:14:54,320 --> 01:14:56,800
Speaker 1: from the Greenbrier talking about the weather a lot and

1516
01:14:56,840 --> 01:14:59,559
Speaker 1: how beautiful it was, because boy does that hurt when

1517
01:14:59,560 --> 01:15:01,519
Speaker 1: you're here ninety five degrees and we're up there and

1518
01:15:01,560 --> 01:15:05,960
Speaker 1: it's seventy and I'm putting on a fleece. That hurts. Yeah,

1519
01:15:06,320 --> 01:15:11,920
Speaker 1: So sorry about that, good question, Landry, I think all right.

1520
01:15:12,000 --> 01:15:15,400
Speaker 1: Biggest biggest bust in the AFC South this year, Biggest

1521
01:15:15,479 --> 01:15:19,599
Speaker 1: non Texans bust in the AFC South this year, Yes, biggest,

1522
01:15:19,800 --> 01:15:22,400
Speaker 1: biggest player. Bus Could I interest you in Nick Foles? Please?

1523
01:15:22,800 --> 01:15:25,760
Speaker 1: Could I interest you in Leonard Fournett? Is he even

1524
01:15:25,800 --> 01:15:28,000
Speaker 1: a bust anymore? Though? I know, I know I'm with

1525
01:15:28,000 --> 01:15:30,360
Speaker 1: you on that. He's already on. He's sliding down the

1526
01:15:30,439 --> 01:15:35,559
Speaker 1: hill already. Biggest bust. I feel like, is Mariota qualifying? Yeah,

1527
01:15:35,840 --> 01:15:37,479
Speaker 1: that's all I was gonna say. I mean, Mariota is

1528
01:15:37,479 --> 01:15:42,040
Speaker 1: the one that really really uh stands out. I would

1529
01:15:42,080 --> 01:15:44,200
Speaker 1: love for it to be t Y Hilton, but I

1530
01:15:44,200 --> 01:15:47,479
Speaker 1: don't tell that's he's already. You know, I'll give you

1531
01:15:47,560 --> 01:15:50,080
Speaker 1: a candidate, and I I'm gonna give you a candidate,

1532
01:15:50,920 --> 01:15:52,400
Speaker 1: and I know you're gonna hear this and go, wait

1533
01:15:52,439 --> 01:15:56,320
Speaker 1: a second, Eric Ebron Colts, that's a good one. And

1534
01:15:56,360 --> 01:15:59,080
Speaker 1: the reason I say that is Jack Doyle is back,

1535
01:15:59,080 --> 01:16:04,839
Speaker 1: and that's Andrew lux Dude. He likes him some Jack Doyle.

1536
01:16:05,120 --> 01:16:07,840
Speaker 1: And if they've got Paris Campbell and they got Chester

1537
01:16:07,920 --> 01:16:10,720
Speaker 1: Rogers in the slot and they've got t Y already,

1538
01:16:11,520 --> 01:16:13,439
Speaker 1: I don't know how many two tight end sets they're

1539
01:16:13,439 --> 01:16:15,160
Speaker 1: gonna want to go with that, They're gonna feel like

1540
01:16:15,200 --> 01:16:19,400
Speaker 1: maybe that slows him down. So I think Ebron might

1541
01:16:19,439 --> 01:16:22,000
Speaker 1: get squeezed a little bit from what he was last year.

1542
01:16:22,040 --> 01:16:24,479
Speaker 1: He got all his opportunities because Jack Doyle wasn't on

1543
01:16:24,520 --> 01:16:27,519
Speaker 1: the field to get any of them. So Ibron can

1544
01:16:27,600 --> 01:16:30,040
Speaker 1: talk all his noise about it. You don't cover eighty

1545
01:16:30,040 --> 01:16:33,880
Speaker 1: five man, man, Yeah, well you might end up being

1546
01:16:33,920 --> 01:16:37,080
Speaker 1: a bust because Jack Doyle's back. Bro listen, I hate

1547
01:16:37,080 --> 01:16:39,960
Speaker 1: the cults like poison. This is well documented, right. I

1548
01:16:40,040 --> 01:16:41,920
Speaker 1: like Chris Ballard. I met him at the Owner's made

1549
01:16:42,320 --> 01:16:44,960
Speaker 1: you go back with him. But the way the cults

1550
01:16:44,960 --> 01:16:48,559
Speaker 1: are showcasing, the way they do everything. If they don't

1551
01:16:48,600 --> 01:16:52,200
Speaker 1: have if this draft class for them, this acquisition offseason

1552
01:16:52,320 --> 01:16:57,320
Speaker 1: period doesn't work out and out and it costs them

1553
01:16:57,320 --> 01:16:59,080
Speaker 1: on the field and they end up winning only eight

1554
01:16:59,200 --> 01:17:01,599
Speaker 1: or nine and they miss it or just squeeze in

1555
01:17:01,680 --> 01:17:05,400
Speaker 1: and don't do so, hey, I'll be so happy not

1556
01:17:05,600 --> 01:17:07,960
Speaker 1: And I won't be happy for him, obviously, because like

1557
01:17:08,040 --> 01:17:10,160
Speaker 1: you know, I don't want to, you know, bad things

1558
01:17:10,160 --> 01:17:12,439
Speaker 1: to happen to good people, but I do want bad

1559
01:17:12,439 --> 01:17:17,640
Speaker 1: things to happen to the Colts though, Johnny, calm down, people, relax,

1560
01:17:18,000 --> 01:17:20,400
Speaker 1: find your little spot over there. That's kind of what

1561
01:17:20,439 --> 01:17:22,519
Speaker 1: I want to say to them, to the Colts. Yeah, like, oh,

1562
01:17:22,560 --> 01:17:26,160
Speaker 1: that was so cute your off season celebrating the you

1563
01:17:26,240 --> 01:17:30,439
Speaker 1: want to February championship. I would just see It's so

1564
01:17:30,600 --> 01:17:33,720
Speaker 1: I mean, I there's there are many different levels of

1565
01:17:33,760 --> 01:17:37,280
Speaker 1: satisfaction in a football season, guys. But if the Texans

1566
01:17:37,280 --> 01:17:40,080
Speaker 1: are able to finish, just finish ahead of the Cults

1567
01:17:40,439 --> 01:17:43,479
Speaker 1: and do better in the playoffs. Not that I'm bitter,

1568
01:17:44,439 --> 01:17:47,160
Speaker 1: but I'm bitter. Yeah. Okay, I want to see obviously

1569
01:17:47,240 --> 01:17:48,960
Speaker 1: the super Bowl, but if if I have to settle

1570
01:17:49,000 --> 01:17:50,880
Speaker 1: for something else, that might be nice. Anyway, go on,

1571
01:17:51,040 --> 01:17:53,080
Speaker 1: all right, it's the off day, so we know the players.

1572
01:17:53,080 --> 01:17:54,920
Speaker 1: Some of them are going there and getting treatment, some

1573
01:17:54,960 --> 01:17:57,639
Speaker 1: of them are going up to NRG and watching tape.

1574
01:17:57,680 --> 01:18:00,880
Speaker 1: I'm gonna ask you guys to tell me what you're

1575
01:18:00,920 --> 01:18:03,120
Speaker 1: doing on your off day after you get off the air.

1576
01:18:03,160 --> 01:18:05,479
Speaker 1: What is what do John Harris and Mark VanderMeer do

1577
01:18:05,520 --> 01:18:08,000
Speaker 1: on their off day. I will do an interview at

1578
01:18:08,120 --> 01:18:13,160
Speaker 1: tech SAgs. I will then go back and watch a

1579
01:18:13,160 --> 01:18:15,960
Speaker 1: little bit more film on the Saints. I've been studying

1580
01:18:15,960 --> 01:18:17,559
Speaker 1: the Saints, kind of getting ready for the Saints. I

1581
01:18:17,800 --> 01:18:22,920
Speaker 1: watch that I have got the I've got some Clemson

1582
01:18:22,960 --> 01:18:25,360
Speaker 1: tape that I want to go back and watch to

1583
01:18:25,560 --> 01:18:28,040
Speaker 1: find any more prospects that they have. They've got a

1584
01:18:28,040 --> 01:18:30,920
Speaker 1: pretty loaded squad this year on a number of different levels.

1585
01:18:30,600 --> 01:18:34,240
Speaker 1: So that party I will and then I'm gonna do laundry.

1586
01:18:34,320 --> 01:18:37,679
Speaker 1: I gotta do laundry. That's definitely a party, all right.

1587
01:18:38,120 --> 01:18:42,720
Speaker 1: I've got an eleven o'clock meeting on social media influencers.

1588
01:18:42,760 --> 01:18:45,479
Speaker 1: I gotta work on the app, the tappet that's the

1589
01:18:45,680 --> 01:18:49,360
Speaker 1: play now, the pay as you go structure that's going

1590
01:18:49,439 --> 01:18:52,000
Speaker 1: to be built into the app for game day, also

1591
01:18:52,120 --> 01:18:55,920
Speaker 1: contesting through the app. I gotta go over preseason satellite

1592
01:18:55,920 --> 01:19:00,360
Speaker 1: testing for the broadcast on television, so that lets you

1593
01:19:00,439 --> 01:19:03,040
Speaker 1: know that I do some other things around here in

1594
01:19:03,080 --> 01:19:05,240
Speaker 1: addition to broad Yeah, listen. If we had been at

1595
01:19:05,240 --> 01:19:07,760
Speaker 1: the Greenbrier, it would be a different story. What we

1596
01:19:07,800 --> 01:19:09,439
Speaker 1: do with our day We'd go play hoops at the

1597
01:19:09,439 --> 01:19:12,200
Speaker 1: top of the mount. Yes, that's what we did. That

1598
01:19:12,320 --> 01:19:14,400
Speaker 1: was our day off. That was our that was our

1599
01:19:14,400 --> 01:19:17,120
Speaker 1: traditional day off off of the Greenbriers. We would go

1600
01:19:17,200 --> 01:19:19,000
Speaker 1: up to the summit and we would play hoops up there.

1601
01:19:19,560 --> 01:19:21,720
Speaker 1: Would have loved it. And I always, I always. All

1602
01:19:21,760 --> 01:19:24,640
Speaker 1: two years, the entire two years we were there, I

1603
01:19:24,680 --> 01:19:27,120
Speaker 1: played golf once each time, which is great though being

1604
01:19:27,160 --> 01:19:29,080
Speaker 1: able to play once, and that might have been today

1605
01:19:29,120 --> 01:19:30,840
Speaker 1: as well. Yeah, I played on song. So not that

1606
01:19:30,880 --> 01:19:33,000
Speaker 1: we missed the Greenbrier or anything for various reasons. I

1607
01:19:33,040 --> 01:19:36,760
Speaker 1: can tell them. I can tell the Texans playlist. It's

1608
01:19:36,800 --> 01:19:38,880
Speaker 1: it's it's it's a nice little mix. They got some

1609
01:19:38,960 --> 01:19:41,479
Speaker 1: young geez, they got some Gugi Main, they got some future,

1610
01:19:41,520 --> 01:19:43,759
Speaker 1: they got some country music. They had some Rolling Stones

1611
01:19:43,840 --> 01:19:45,760
Speaker 1: last weekend when they were in town. I'm gonna let

1612
01:19:45,760 --> 01:19:47,720
Speaker 1: you guys make a playlist right now. You each get

1613
01:19:47,760 --> 01:19:50,719
Speaker 1: to pick three songs each, So we'll start with Vandy,

1614
01:19:50,840 --> 01:19:53,160
Speaker 1: then John Din Vandy then John, then Vandy then John.

1615
01:19:53,200 --> 01:19:56,080
Speaker 1: Make a playlist. Tomorrow's practice. Go oh they were playing

1616
01:19:56,200 --> 01:19:58,479
Speaker 1: Back in the Saddle yesterday, and everyone's goofing on me

1617
01:19:58,520 --> 01:20:01,240
Speaker 1: because that used to bear our Texans training live open song,

1618
01:20:01,439 --> 01:20:03,720
Speaker 1: which is only what like a forty five year old song.

1619
01:20:03,800 --> 01:20:07,360
Speaker 1: I freaking love that, though Aerosmith. It. Look, if I'm

1620
01:20:07,360 --> 01:20:10,080
Speaker 1: doing the playlist, I'm putting all sorts of stuff like that.

1621
01:20:10,160 --> 01:20:13,080
Speaker 1: I'm gonna put Zeppelin on there. I'm gonna go nuts,

1622
01:20:13,200 --> 01:20:16,720
Speaker 1: so I would put h I would put Achilles Last

1623
01:20:16,760 --> 01:20:20,080
Speaker 1: Stand on the playlist because I would love it. I

1624
01:20:20,080 --> 01:20:22,439
Speaker 1: don't know if they would. I would put a little

1625
01:20:22,560 --> 01:20:25,320
Speaker 1: Jake Cole on there. Okay, Okay, you're you're, you're, you're,

1626
01:20:25,360 --> 01:20:27,840
Speaker 1: you're thinking of the players. Unlike Vandy, I like it.

1627
01:20:28,000 --> 01:20:31,400
Speaker 1: John keep going me me too, Um, I want a

1628
01:20:31,400 --> 01:20:34,639
Speaker 1: little Jay Cole. You could mix it a little Travis Scott.

1629
01:20:34,680 --> 01:20:37,519
Speaker 1: I'm cool with that. I mean Travis homeboy from Missouri City.

1630
01:20:37,560 --> 01:20:39,360
Speaker 1: So I'm cool with that. And you know what, I

1631
01:20:39,400 --> 01:20:42,599
Speaker 1: also throw in because I always feel like whenever I

1632
01:20:42,720 --> 01:20:47,160
Speaker 1: hear Andre three thousand and big Boy in Outcast, I

1633
01:20:47,200 --> 01:20:51,720
Speaker 1: always get hyped. So Deshaw's from Atlanta. Outcast is from

1634
01:20:51,720 --> 01:20:54,360
Speaker 1: the atl Let's play a little up, Let's play a

1635
01:20:54,360 --> 01:20:58,080
Speaker 1: little Outcast, although Deshan would probably tell us that Outcast

1636
01:20:58,160 --> 01:21:00,120
Speaker 1: is old school, just like he told us that you

1637
01:21:00,120 --> 01:21:02,799
Speaker 1: mean it was old school. But I play little Outcasts

1638
01:21:02,800 --> 01:21:04,160
Speaker 1: as well. We'll do that for the Seawan all the

1639
01:21:04,160 --> 01:21:08,760
Speaker 1: boys old ease man, no question about that. That is

1640
01:21:08,800 --> 01:21:11,679
Speaker 1: old stuff. It's opposed to everything I'm recommending which is new.

1641
01:21:12,120 --> 01:21:14,439
Speaker 1: But I'll go for andre Ware right now. He would want.

1642
01:21:14,479 --> 01:21:17,120
Speaker 1: His favorite song of all time is The Brothers Johnson

1643
01:21:17,200 --> 01:21:20,799
Speaker 1: Strawberry Letter twenty three from the seventies. It's fantastic soul stuff.

1644
01:21:21,120 --> 01:21:23,080
Speaker 1: And if I'm gonna go seventies, so I'll go the

1645
01:21:23,080 --> 01:21:26,040
Speaker 1: OJ's Love Train, which is one of the greatest songs

1646
01:21:26,040 --> 01:21:28,040
Speaker 1: ever written. And if you listen to that song, it's

1647
01:21:28,080 --> 01:21:30,280
Speaker 1: impossible to be in a bad mood. If you're in

1648
01:21:30,360 --> 01:21:33,080
Speaker 1: a bad mood, put on the OJ's Love Train and

1649
01:21:33,120 --> 01:21:34,439
Speaker 1: it'll get you going. They should put it on a

1650
01:21:34,479 --> 01:21:36,800
Speaker 1: practice because it'll definitely pick the guys up. I don't

1651
01:21:36,800 --> 01:21:38,840
Speaker 1: care how old you are. And if anybody plays Old

1656
01:21:49,320 --> 01:21:50,880
Speaker 1: oh that was cute, and I heard the next eight

1657
01:21:50,880 --> 01:21:53,040
Speaker 1: thousand times. Why don't they play brickhouse out there? By

1658
01:21:53,040 --> 01:21:55,120
Speaker 1: the way? Do you know what the brick Do you

1659
01:21:55,160 --> 01:21:57,880

01:21:57,960 --> 01:22:01,160
Speaker 1: All right? Wait, are you married or forgot? No? Okay,

1661
01:22:01,640 --> 01:22:04,479
Speaker 1: If you have a girlfriend and you're thinking of a

1662
01:22:04,520 --> 01:22:06,640
Speaker 1: serious relationship, here's what you need to do, all right,

1663
01:22:06,640 --> 01:22:08,880
Speaker 1: And everybody should be listening. And many people who have

1664
01:22:08,960 --> 01:22:12,120
Speaker 1: listened to me for years have really benefited from this. Jones.

1665
01:22:12,120 --> 01:22:16,760
Speaker 1: He's nodding right now. The brickhouse test is this, when

1666
01:22:16,760 --> 01:22:19,320
Speaker 1: you're in the car or in any moment where it's

1667
01:22:19,320 --> 01:22:20,840
Speaker 1: just the two of you that's kind of quiet. You

1668
01:22:20,960 --> 01:22:22,960
Speaker 1: put or no, you don't put it on. You just

1669
01:22:23,040 --> 01:22:27,439
Speaker 1: say it. You say she's a brick and then layout

1670
01:22:27,479 --> 01:22:32,320
Speaker 1: don't say anything. If she doesn't say house in some way,

1671
01:22:32,360 --> 01:22:35,080
Speaker 1: shape or form, she's not a keeper dumper. Just get

1672
01:22:35,160 --> 01:22:37,840
Speaker 1: rid of her, save yourself the trouble. The relationship is

1673
01:22:37,840 --> 01:22:39,960
Speaker 1: not gonna work. She's not gonna be worth it. There's

1674
01:22:40,000 --> 01:22:43,280
Speaker 1: no fun there, there's no joy, maybe minimal amounts. It's

1675
01:22:43,280 --> 01:22:45,639
Speaker 1: not gonna be worth your time. That's the brickhouse test

1676
01:22:45,800 --> 01:22:48,040
Speaker 1: and it never fails, all right, so try it. And

1677
01:22:48,120 --> 01:22:50,080
Speaker 1: I don't care how old the song is. Everybody knows

1678
01:22:50,080 --> 01:22:51,960
Speaker 1: the song. My thirteen year old knows this song. My

Speaker 1: six year old can pass the brickhouse test. You can

1680
01:22:54,479 --> 01:22:57,160
Speaker 1: do it with your guy friends too, in a way like, oh,

1684
01:23:07,600 --> 01:23:10,559
Speaker 1: that's it's it's now. You can also go to Sean

1686
01:23:15,000 --> 01:23:17,800
Speaker 1: words to crazy Be, then if she does know him,

1687
01:23:17,920 --> 01:23:19,960
Speaker 1: if she starts saying the lyric, then you get out

1688
01:23:19,960 --> 01:23:23,679
Speaker 1: of the car. You get out of the car. That's

01:23:32,280 --> 01:23:34,080
Speaker 1: better run like hell. I've had people come up to

1695
01:23:39,200 --> 01:23:41,400
Speaker 1: the trouble from a terrible relationship. For all, I know,

1696
01:23:41,439 --> 01:23:46,200
Speaker 1: I broke up like soulmates. I don't know we're talking

1697
01:23:46,200 --> 01:23:48,160
Speaker 1: to somebody that broke up with somebody because I had

1698
01:23:48,200 --> 01:23:50,040
Speaker 1: to focus on baseball one summer when I was in

1699
01:23:50,080 --> 01:23:51,960
Speaker 1: high school. So look, I've I've heard it all done

1725
01:25:03,200 --> 01:25:04,840

Speaker 1: go watch filmer. Yeah, that's up to them, right, this

1729
01:25:14,479 --> 01:25:17,280
