1 00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:02,640 Speaker 1: Welcome to everybody to you Wednesday, they shan of Texans 2 00:00:02,720 --> 00:00:07,000 Speaker 1: All Access from the Honday Texans Radio studio. I can 3 00:00:07,080 --> 00:00:10,360 Speaker 1: see it all around me. This is really really nice 4 00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:13,560 Speaker 1: to have that. I am your host, John Harris, football 5 00:00:13,560 --> 00:00:17,640 Speaker 1: and a sideline reporter fresh off a root canal. Yesterday. 6 00:00:17,760 --> 00:00:20,079 Speaker 1: If I sounded a little bit weird and yesterday's show, 7 00:00:20,840 --> 00:00:22,599 Speaker 1: it was because the right side of my face that 8 00:00:22,680 --> 00:00:25,120 Speaker 1: looked like a chipmunk, like a Alvin Simon and Theodore 9 00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:27,639 Speaker 1: the chip marks that might be a data reference. But 10 00:00:27,720 --> 00:00:31,520 Speaker 1: they did come back, so maybe younger people know the chipmunks. 11 00:00:31,520 --> 00:00:34,200 Speaker 1: But that was me yesterday. A little bit better today, 12 00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:37,920 Speaker 1: but going to carry me as he always does, is 13 00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:40,839 Speaker 1: the voice of the Texans, Mark Vanomer. Mark, how are 14 00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:44,200 Speaker 1: you doing, my friend, Johnny? I'm doing so well and 15 00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:46,120 Speaker 1: I can't wait for what we're about to do here. 16 00:00:46,159 --> 00:00:48,800 Speaker 1: This is gonna be so much fun. Yeah, there's something 17 00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:50,680 Speaker 1: we're gonna get to something. I think it's pretty fun. 18 00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:52,680 Speaker 1: Jude Dory's gonna join us later for in the lab. 19 00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:55,960 Speaker 1: But I want to make sure that we get this 20 00:00:56,080 --> 00:01:02,320 Speaker 1: news out to our fans today. This came out courtesy 21 00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:07,320 Speaker 1: of our PR department. The Texans announcing dates and times 22 00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:11,200 Speaker 1: for twenty twenty one Training Camp presented by Xfinity. Because 23 00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:15,000 Speaker 1: there's a lot to go through with this. First of all, 24 00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:20,280 Speaker 1: five training camp practices will be open to season ticket members. Yeah, 25 00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:25,120 Speaker 1: Monday August second, Tuesday, August third, Friday August sixth, Saturday 26 00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:29,280 Speaker 1: August seventh, the Monday August ninth. Essentially, I think that's 27 00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:34,039 Speaker 1: that's almost every practice between August second August ninth, but 28 00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:37,119 Speaker 1: two and then there's one day off built in. So 29 00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:44,280 Speaker 1: those five days, second, third, sixth, seven, nine are going 30 00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:48,880 Speaker 1: to be open to season ticket members. That is new 31 00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:53,000 Speaker 1: this year. Public practices will be open exclusively to season 32 00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:55,160 Speaker 1: ticket members as a benefit for their support of the 33 00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:58,680 Speaker 1: Houston Texans. The season ticket members will be contacted at 34 00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:01,040 Speaker 1: a later date the start to declaiming their tickets for 35 00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:05,520 Speaker 1: this year's training camp presented by Exfinity. So those are 36 00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:14,080 Speaker 1: the open practices. Practice itself will open Wednesday, July twenty 37 00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:20,360 Speaker 1: eighth at nine am. That will be the day you 38 00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:23,520 Speaker 1: will hear the two of US or Vandamer and myself 39 00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:28,320 Speaker 1: kicking off our coverage Texas Training Camp Live. We will 40 00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:32,160 Speaker 1: start at eight. Practice will start at nine, So when 41 00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:34,760 Speaker 1: you get the first hour with us, Well, you get 42 00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:37,000 Speaker 1: both hours with us, but the second hour becomes kind 43 00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:40,240 Speaker 1: of Mark driving and me watching practice and O blinding hot. 44 00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:44,720 Speaker 1: So we will start Wednesday, July twenty eighth with Texas 45 00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:47,360 Speaker 1: Training Camp Live and we will take that all the 46 00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:53,679 Speaker 1: way through Tuesday August tenth, Mark, is that the date? Yeah, 47 00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:57,880 Speaker 1: we're gonna go Tuesday August tenth, and that'll be it 48 00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:02,880 Speaker 1: for the eight to ten Texans Training Camp Live programming. Obviously, 49 00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:06,840 Speaker 1: the preseason opener is Saturday, August fourteenth. Looking forward to that. 50 00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:09,280 Speaker 1: I think there are a few notable things here. And 51 00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:13,840 Speaker 1: you mentioned the practices with fans the ones without fans. Well, look, 52 00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:15,440 Speaker 1: we'll have all the coverage for you, right, we do 53 00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:17,840 Speaker 1: the pre stuff, we do the post stuff all on 54 00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:20,679 Speaker 1: social media on Houston Texans dot com and the Texans app, 55 00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:24,120 Speaker 1: and we're live on the air on Texans Radio. Sports 56 00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:28,400 Speaker 1: Radio six ten are wonderful partners. So that's all cool. Now, 57 00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:32,480 Speaker 1: what isn't cool is nine am. Start Johnny Listen. They 58 00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:35,520 Speaker 1: don't talk to me about this, and I don't know why. 59 00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:38,920 Speaker 1: I would just tell them, why don't you start practice 60 00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:42,680 Speaker 1: at seven thirty? I just think it's a much better idea. 61 00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:46,000 Speaker 1: This is my opinion. Not there's obviously, because they're starting 62 00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:48,480 Speaker 1: practice at nine. I know they probably have all sorts 63 00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:50,560 Speaker 1: of reasons. We need to have a good breakfast for them. 64 00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:53,040 Speaker 1: They need to do this meeting or that meeting or 65 00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:57,360 Speaker 1: this whatever activation. But you know what gets a little warm, 66 00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:02,040 Speaker 1: gets a little warm. Nine am. They probably conclude around ten, 67 00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:05,520 Speaker 1: forty five, eleven, maybe later. Right, Remember O'Brien had them 68 00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:10,200 Speaker 1: running gassers after his first practice in twenty fourteen. Here's 69 00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:12,720 Speaker 1: a prediction, David Culley will not have the team run 70 00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:16,719 Speaker 1: gassers after the first practice. I'm betting on that. But 71 00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:18,720 Speaker 1: it's gonna be fun. I'm kind of joking around here. 72 00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:22,480 Speaker 1: And here's the other thing. Night practice on the youngest 73 00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:25,440 Speaker 1: seventh in front of the season ticket members and before 74 00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:27,160 Speaker 1: the fans get all riled up. And I haven't been 75 00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:29,599 Speaker 1: listening all day, but I imagine they've gotten some of 76 00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:33,039 Speaker 1: them have got a little riled up about camp access. Look, 77 00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:36,000 Speaker 1: the seating configuration is different. You have a twenty foot 78 00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:38,440 Speaker 1: rule now, so you weren't going to get close to 79 00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:41,680 Speaker 1: them anyway, right as close as you normally would in 80 00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:44,200 Speaker 1: a non pandemic year. And I know we're coming out 81 00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:50,440 Speaker 1: of the pandemic, but fingers crossed right, idemic stay out 82 00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:53,560 Speaker 1: of it. And I think that with the new configuration, 83 00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:57,200 Speaker 1: obviously this is a cool thing to do for the 84 00:04:57,200 --> 00:05:01,040 Speaker 1: season ticket members. Everything's gonna be a little bit different, 85 00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:03,440 Speaker 1: but it'll be more like twenty nineteen than it was 86 00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:07,159 Speaker 1: last year obviously when no fans were out there. Yeah. Absolutely, 87 00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:10,479 Speaker 1: and I have people out there for five practices. I 88 00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:12,920 Speaker 1: think that's gonna be that's gonna be pretty fantastic. I've 89 00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:18,880 Speaker 1: mentioned the other night, the Giants have one one open 90 00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:21,440 Speaker 1: practice and this thing that stood out, Yeah, in their 91 00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:23,920 Speaker 1: stadium and that's it. Apparently it's sold out in minutes, 92 00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:28,960 Speaker 1: which was not too surprising. The other aspect was the 93 00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:33,839 Speaker 1: start date. In years past, you got two weeks before 94 00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:38,839 Speaker 1: you could start. So your preseason game started on a Thursday, 95 00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:43,680 Speaker 1: then you can start the two thursdays prior to that. 96 00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:46,560 Speaker 1: You essentially got two weeks leading up into that preseason game. 97 00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:49,919 Speaker 1: It's not a whole lot more, but it's a couple 98 00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:54,080 Speaker 1: of days more because usually we would do that final show. 99 00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:58,320 Speaker 1: I remember doing a show from the Greenbrier. Yeah, I 100 00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:01,640 Speaker 1: think it was seventeen. We did a show from the 101 00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:05,440 Speaker 1: Greenbrier the morning I finished, Yeah, the morning of finished, 102 00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:07,960 Speaker 1: walked over to the shuttle, got on the shuttle, went 103 00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:09,600 Speaker 1: to the airport and flew out. I think it was 104 00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:14,200 Speaker 1: the Kansas City for that one, and that was that 105 00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:16,520 Speaker 1: was it, and it was the day before we'd play 106 00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:19,200 Speaker 1: Kansas CE. This starts on Wednesday. We don't play the 107 00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:21,719 Speaker 1: preseason game until two and a half weeks, which would 108 00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:23,680 Speaker 1: be the fourteen, so you get a couple extra days 109 00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:27,040 Speaker 1: of training camps. That's kind of nice too. By my calculations, 110 00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:29,760 Speaker 1: this is the most they will have had practice time 111 00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:33,120 Speaker 1: before the preseason opener, right two and a half weeks. 112 00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:37,360 Speaker 1: They've never had this before. At the Greenbrier in twenty seventeen, 113 00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:39,560 Speaker 1: they practiced on a Wednesday because they played on a 114 00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:42,960 Speaker 1: Wednesday because the PGA Championship was being held in the 115 00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:45,800 Speaker 1: Charlotte area and they didn't have enough police officers. I 116 00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:49,440 Speaker 1: don't know how this is possible to staff the PGA 117 00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:52,039 Speaker 1: during the day and the game at night, whatever, But 118 00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:54,320 Speaker 1: we got through it and it was an exciting time. 119 00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:57,280 Speaker 1: But this is the most. Even in year one, they 120 00:06:57,279 --> 00:06:59,880 Speaker 1: didn't have two and a half weeks till their first 121 00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:03,159 Speaker 1: preseason games, so I think this is pretty cool to 122 00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:06,520 Speaker 1: have this amount of time. Now, no joint practice is scheduled, 123 00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:10,000 Speaker 1: as we all know, so I doubt anything's coming as 124 00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:13,600 Speaker 1: of this time. Right. It's getting a little late for that, 125 00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:17,640 Speaker 1: and I'm not sure they're reasoning here, but no joint 126 00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:21,360 Speaker 1: practice is scheduled, but plenty of work will be done 127 00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:24,960 Speaker 1: with the Houston Texans prior to their regular season opener 128 00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:27,560 Speaker 1: against Jacksonville. Here's the other thing that stands out, And 129 00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:29,320 Speaker 1: of course this is just you know, kind of an 130 00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:34,040 Speaker 1: inside baseball thing, but the days off, the days off 131 00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:38,760 Speaker 1: are Sundays. Nice. We used to have days off during 132 00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:40,640 Speaker 1: week when we would have to show up and do reradio, 133 00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:43,200 Speaker 1: not look so we would have no day off. We 134 00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:47,080 Speaker 1: would have no day John, you are absolutely okay with that. 135 00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:49,520 Speaker 1: I could, I could live with that. We're talking football stub. 136 00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:52,960 Speaker 1: But it's always better to be doing the show when 137 00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:55,760 Speaker 1: there's football going on. And if there's a day off 138 00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:58,840 Speaker 1: and you can put it on the weekend, have at it. 139 00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:01,080 Speaker 1: Everybody gets make it's a little bit of a day off. 140 00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:04,080 Speaker 1: It's kind of nice. It's funny because I didn't mind 141 00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:08,720 Speaker 1: going inside for a day or two during training camp, 142 00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:11,120 Speaker 1: just kind of catching our breath and having the air 143 00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:13,400 Speaker 1: conditioning and doing a couple of shows that way during 144 00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:17,280 Speaker 1: our morning show segments. But it is pretty cool that 145 00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:19,400 Speaker 1: there will always be something going on on the field 146 00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:22,720 Speaker 1: while we are doing that program. And you're right about 147 00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:26,760 Speaker 1: the days off, because usually once camp hits, I've said 148 00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:29,360 Speaker 1: this a lot about everybody in our department, we don't 149 00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:32,160 Speaker 1: have a day off until maybe the day before Labor 150 00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:34,600 Speaker 1: Day because we work our labor day, so maybe the 151 00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:37,760 Speaker 1: day before Labor Day we get one day off, and 152 00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:39,640 Speaker 1: then you know, if you're on the road to start 153 00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:42,000 Speaker 1: the season, you're only getting one or two days off 154 00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:44,960 Speaker 1: in the first couple of months of the season. And 155 00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:48,120 Speaker 1: it's fine because we love what we do. I'm not 156 00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:51,000 Speaker 1: complaining about it, but it's just notable to me. And 157 00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:53,120 Speaker 1: you're right that you get a couple of Sundays off 158 00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:56,000 Speaker 1: and players are off and there will be no availabilities 159 00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:58,199 Speaker 1: and we have nothing on the air. I'm sure we'll 160 00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:00,080 Speaker 1: be writing articles and that kind of thing, but can 161 00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:02,320 Speaker 1: do that from home. So it's a pretty cool schedule 162 00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:05,640 Speaker 1: and I just can't wait seeing this. It's kind of 163 00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:10,040 Speaker 1: like for Fancy and the game schedule that's obviously huge 164 00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:12,680 Speaker 1: and this is nothing like that. But just seeing the training, 165 00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:15,360 Speaker 1: can't practice schedule laid out, the fans have it. It's 166 00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:18,280 Speaker 1: on Houston Texas dot com. It is a big day 167 00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:21,000 Speaker 1: for us because it makes it so real. Johnny, I 168 00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:23,800 Speaker 1: couldn't schedule our radio shows until today, could not do 169 00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:26,600 Speaker 1: it until today, and I've been asking, like, when are 170 00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:28,360 Speaker 1: we really going to start this thing off, you know, 171 00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:31,439 Speaker 1: and then finally we get this information. So it's pretty cool. Yeah, 172 00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:36,440 Speaker 1: it is. It's very very cool now and I can't wait. 173 00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:40,480 Speaker 1: So one of the things that you know, I love 174 00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:43,440 Speaker 1: to do. You know, I love any kind of draft, right, 175 00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:45,520 Speaker 1: any kind of draft. I mean, it can be the 176 00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:47,640 Speaker 1: NHL draft, it could be the w NBA draft, it 177 00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:51,280 Speaker 1: could be the NFL draft. Any draft. I love it. 178 00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:55,080 Speaker 1: So I love things in which you can draft a team, 179 00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:57,319 Speaker 1: build a team, all those kind of things. And I 180 00:09:57,440 --> 00:10:01,480 Speaker 1: happen to stumble upon this on my title actually I 181 00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:03,679 Speaker 1: should say stubbleed all. It was all my timeline and 182 00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:06,400 Speaker 1: I'm trying to find out and give credit. I think 183 00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:09,160 Speaker 1: I thought it came from the NFL. A count Oh, 184 00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:11,480 Speaker 1: we need to know. It looks like it did because 185 00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:13,960 Speaker 1: it has this I'm pretty sure. I'm pretty sure, but 186 00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:15,800 Speaker 1: I looked at the NFL account. I can't seem to 187 00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:19,559 Speaker 1: find it on the NFL account either way. The I'm 188 00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:21,520 Speaker 1: gonna give correct the NFL. The NFL put this out 189 00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:30,400 Speaker 1: and they said, build a lineup for fifteen dollars. A quarterback, quarterback, 190 00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:37,000 Speaker 1: running back, two wide receivers, and a tight end. Quarterback, 191 00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:41,120 Speaker 1: running back, widers, two wide receivers, and a tight end 192 00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:45,240 Speaker 1: five dollars, four dollars, three dollars, two dollars, one dollars. 193 00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:47,719 Speaker 1: First of all, at the quarterback position, I think they 194 00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:51,560 Speaker 1: finally have this ranked properly. Whoever used to put Peyton 195 00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:55,120 Speaker 1: Manning ahead of Tom Brady should drive me nuts. But 196 00:10:55,559 --> 00:11:00,599 Speaker 1: the quarterbacks starting with Tom Brady at five Montana for 197 00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:05,400 Speaker 1: Peyton Manning three, Drew Brees two, Damn Marino one. All right, 198 00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:09,000 Speaker 1: is there anybody missing from that? Their top five? In 199 00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:12,520 Speaker 1: this dollar a draft, whatever this thing is, build your 200 00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:15,520 Speaker 1: lineup for fifteen dollars graphic, Who would you rather have 201 00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:18,640 Speaker 1: in there than any of one of these guys? Or 202 00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:22,239 Speaker 1: just pick one who might not belong. They're all awesome, obviously, 203 00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:26,840 Speaker 1: because I'm looking at this, Johnny, We've seen these things 204 00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:30,560 Speaker 1: with basketball and with basketball it seems to be a 205 00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:33,520 Speaker 1: lot harder. I feel like, for minimal I can save 206 00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:36,559 Speaker 1: money and still put together a killer lineup. I know, 207 00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:40,160 Speaker 1: I know I can pocket a few bucks. Yeah, you 208 00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:42,560 Speaker 1: can save ten bucks and go with the one dollars 209 00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:46,240 Speaker 1: and feel like because I've I've actually got two one 210 00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:51,679 Speaker 1: dollars in my roster. Okay, but I think those are 211 00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:57,080 Speaker 1: the five. Gotta be Brady Montana, Manning, Breeze, Marino. I 212 00:11:57,080 --> 00:12:01,160 Speaker 1: mean that's gotta be so you run back running backs 213 00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:05,720 Speaker 1: sort of a five bucks Barry Sanders, Jim Brown at four, 214 00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:10,480 Speaker 1: Walter Payton at three, Emmett for two, Ladanian, Tom Luinson 215 00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:12,959 Speaker 1: for one. Now, I could take Ladanion out, even though 216 00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:15,800 Speaker 1: I love Ladanion. You can put in Marshall Falk, You 217 00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:18,600 Speaker 1: can put a Dickerson, You could put in Earl Campbell. 218 00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:19,800 Speaker 1: I think there's a lot of guys you could put 219 00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:24,040 Speaker 1: in there. Yeah, Okay, your receivers get two of them. 220 00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:27,280 Speaker 1: The five dollars are Jerry Rice and Larry Fitzgerald. Your 221 00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:30,840 Speaker 1: four dollars are Randy Moss and Megatron. Your three dollars 222 00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:34,160 Speaker 1: are Terrell Owens and Julio Jones. Your two dollars are 223 00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:37,720 Speaker 1: Chris Carter and Antonio Brown. And your two one dollars 224 00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:42,280 Speaker 1: are Don Hudson and DeAndre Hopkins. I don't know if 225 00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:44,280 Speaker 1: you've heard of that guy, Hopkins, have you heard? Have 226 00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:47,440 Speaker 1: you heard of him? He's heard vaguely familiar. But Hudson 227 00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:52,080 Speaker 1: is familiar because we were at the Don Hudson practice center. Gay, 228 00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:55,520 Speaker 1: what does that tell you? Look in this graphic, even 229 00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:58,120 Speaker 1: it's a colorized photo or something, because he's an a 230 00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:01,480 Speaker 1: leathern helmet, all right, says they went back that far. 231 00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:04,640 Speaker 1: There are numerous guys they could have put in here, 232 00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:08,200 Speaker 1: Andre Johnson, anybody instead of Don Hudson. But it's a 233 00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:10,559 Speaker 1: tip of the cap to the past. I guarantee you 234 00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:13,559 Speaker 1: who ever built this graphic as a Packer fan. Well 235 00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:16,280 Speaker 1: maybe not because they don't have Aaron Rodgers and the quarterbacks. 236 00:13:16,559 --> 00:13:19,280 Speaker 1: They don't have Aaron Rodgers the quarterbacks, but don here. 237 00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:24,840 Speaker 1: Don Hudson, for his time, though, was as dominant as 238 00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:26,839 Speaker 1: any receiver could have been. I mean, if you look 239 00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:31,880 Speaker 1: at his numbers back in the thirties, right and look, 240 00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:33,959 Speaker 1: I know it's the thirties. I mean, you could have 241 00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:37,680 Speaker 1: modernized this whole thing, like I get it, um, But 242 00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:41,520 Speaker 1: I could take Don Hudson and I can be fine 243 00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:46,560 Speaker 1: with it. In the thirties, Johnny, you said the thirties. Yes, listen, listen, 244 00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:48,079 Speaker 1: you say it all. You say it all the time. 245 00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:49,960 Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm gonna get you on your own argument. 246 00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:53,320 Speaker 1: You send me. You said, Andre and I things all 247 00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:56,280 Speaker 1: the time. You a list of players, and you're like, 248 00:13:56,760 --> 00:13:59,800 Speaker 1: was college football not born in the eighties? They have 249 00:13:59,880 --> 00:14:03,480 Speaker 1: no seventies eight? So okay, so yeah, I'm throwing that 250 00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:07,040 Speaker 1: back at you. Okay, thank you, so sis again. Rice 251 00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:10,320 Speaker 1: and Fitzgerald five, Megatron, Randy Moss four, Trello and Julio 252 00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:13,400 Speaker 1: Jones at three, Chris Carter and Antonio Brown at two, 253 00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:16,520 Speaker 1: Don Hudson and DeAndre Hopkins for one dollar. The tight ends, 254 00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:19,320 Speaker 1: I have a little bit of a beef here, okay 255 00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:23,880 Speaker 1: for five dollars, Tony Gonzalez four dollars, Bronk three dollars, 256 00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:29,200 Speaker 1: Antonio Gates two, Shannon Sharp one, Jason Witten. I think 257 00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:32,160 Speaker 1: Travis Kelsey's got to be on that list. I can 258 00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:34,280 Speaker 1: make a case for Kelsey being as high as three 259 00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:36,800 Speaker 1: dollars on that list, and I would probably take Kelsey. Yep, 260 00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:40,360 Speaker 1: I would take Kelsey ahead of Gates and Sharp and Witten. 261 00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:44,720 Speaker 1: Um Kelsey would definitely be in that group. Kittle King 262 00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:47,200 Speaker 1: kind of knock his knock his head on the ceiling, 263 00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:49,160 Speaker 1: but he's not quite there. Mike Dick, are you gonna 264 00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:52,560 Speaker 1: put there? But Dicka was? I don't know. I mean 265 00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:54,400 Speaker 1: you went back for Hudson. I guess you could have 266 00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:57,960 Speaker 1: gone back for Dick and John Mackie kello oh oh, 267 00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:00,480 Speaker 1: Kellen wins I would put kell Winslo on there, twenty 268 00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:02,840 Speaker 1: one Gates. I might put them up there before Sharp, 269 00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:05,720 Speaker 1: but they went lifetime achievement here on this list. And look, 270 00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:10,160 Speaker 1: Whitten as a billion catches Witten. Look, let's be honest here, 271 00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:13,200 Speaker 1: Witten does not belong on this list. No, Witten is 272 00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:15,560 Speaker 1: great in terms of being prolific, and he was great. 273 00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:18,120 Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not saying Witten sucks. I'm just saying 274 00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:20,560 Speaker 1: some of the other guys we mentioned are more talented 275 00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:24,280 Speaker 1: players period than he is. Okay, a great note down 276 00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:27,160 Speaker 1: about that. All right, So okay, your quarterback, what are 277 00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:30,640 Speaker 1: you picking now? Listen, you gotta build the lineup for 278 00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:36,120 Speaker 1: fifteen dollars straight, three dollars ticket Peyton Manning, Walter Payton, 279 00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:39,800 Speaker 1: Trollo and Julio Jones, Antonio Gates, and you'd be very happy. 280 00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:42,400 Speaker 1: But just what they're gonna lose because I look, I'm 281 00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:45,840 Speaker 1: just spending a dollar on a quarterback. I'm getting Dan Marino, 282 00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:48,520 Speaker 1: and I'm gonna be very happy with spending a dollar. 283 00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:52,000 Speaker 1: I went to the clearance bin at Walgreens and I 284 00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:55,160 Speaker 1: got Dan Marino. So I'm good. You're telling me that 285 00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:57,760 Speaker 1: Dan Marino is like Joe Dirt. You went and got 286 00:15:57,760 --> 00:16:00,000 Speaker 1: the Joe Dirt DVD at the bottom of the bargain 287 00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:06,240 Speaker 1: basement bin. Right, Okay, not surprisingly we agree. I would 288 00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:08,200 Speaker 1: pick Dan Marino on that list too. For a dollar, 289 00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:12,360 Speaker 1: I'm absolutely taken down Mark, not no doubt. Okay, running back, 290 00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:16,200 Speaker 1: running back, I'll go first. I'm taking Jim Brown, so 291 00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:18,240 Speaker 1: I'm up to five dollars. I'm taking a Marino, and 292 00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:20,960 Speaker 1: Jim Brown has five dollars. I've got tend to spend 293 00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:24,000 Speaker 1: on receivers and tight ends. All right. Look, I'd love 294 00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:26,400 Speaker 1: to take Barry, but I do have to be frugal 295 00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:28,320 Speaker 1: to a point here, and I'm gonna go ahead and 296 00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:31,200 Speaker 1: take Walter Payton, and really, you know, I'll slum it 297 00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:34,760 Speaker 1: with Walter Payton. My gosh, maybe the greatest running back ever, 298 00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:37,800 Speaker 1: you know, pound for pound, top to bottom, any era, 299 00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:42,000 Speaker 1: Walter Payton. I'm there. So I've said four dollars. Okay, 300 00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:45,560 Speaker 1: you've spent four. I've spent five for one of my receivers. 301 00:16:45,640 --> 00:16:49,000 Speaker 1: I am going with the freak Randy Moss for four dollars. 302 00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:53,000 Speaker 1: So I'm now up to nine. But I know i'm 303 00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:55,680 Speaker 1: gonna I feel good about what I'm doing. I don't 304 00:16:55,720 --> 00:16:58,680 Speaker 1: love the tight ends here, so I feel good about 305 00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:00,600 Speaker 1: what I've what I'm gonna do. But I got Marino, 306 00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:05,560 Speaker 1: Jim Brown, Randy Moss. I'm gonna go ahead and take 307 00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:10,080 Speaker 1: TiO for three dollars. Right, So I got Marino, Walter Peyton, 308 00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:13,800 Speaker 1: and TiO. And I've spent seven dollars so far out 309 00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:17,080 Speaker 1: of the fifteen that I have. I have two positions left, 310 00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:19,879 Speaker 1: and I'm afraid you're gonna take who I want, but 311 00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:24,880 Speaker 1: go ahead, well one too. This one's obvious to me 312 00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:30,720 Speaker 1: that of that bottom crew fits Megatron, Julio, Antonio Brown, 313 00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:34,320 Speaker 1: there's not much separating them, to be honest. So I'm 314 00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:37,640 Speaker 1: taking the one dollar option. There some guy named DeAndre Hopkins. 315 00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:41,760 Speaker 1: So now that's that's ten dollars from me, Marino, Jim Brown, 316 00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:44,800 Speaker 1: Randy Moss, DeAndre Hopkins. I've got five to spend. We'll 317 00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:47,200 Speaker 1: see if I spend it. All right, I'm gonna go 318 00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:51,040 Speaker 1: ahead and take Megatron, who I will argue Andre Johnson 319 00:17:51,119 --> 00:17:54,760 Speaker 1: was every bit as good as but Megatron's really good, 320 00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:57,920 Speaker 1: So I'll take him for four dollars. I think he's Look, 321 00:17:57,920 --> 00:18:00,560 Speaker 1: he's probably not overpriced when you compare to the rest 322 00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:03,400 Speaker 1: of the group they have here. But now I've spent 323 00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:07,760 Speaker 1: eleven dollars with Megatron, Teo, Walter Payton, and Dan Marino. 324 00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:12,600 Speaker 1: I feel very good about that lineup. Yeah, I have spent, 325 00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:15,080 Speaker 1: Like I said, ten dollars. I have Marino, Jim Brown, 326 00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:19,920 Speaker 1: Randy Moss, DeAndre Hopkins. The ball will not hit the ground, 327 00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:24,080 Speaker 1: don't do it. And I've got five dollars. I do 328 00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:28,120 Speaker 1: not want Tony Gonzalez. I want Gronk. Oh just killed me, 329 00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:31,720 Speaker 1: So I'm not allowed to take Gronk. Now, well you can, 330 00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:34,879 Speaker 1: you can. I mean I've got you've got five dollars 331 00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:37,520 Speaker 1: to spend, right, You're gonna save a dollar on your 332 00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:41,600 Speaker 1: lineullar ye, And I would take Cronk and spend the 333 00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:44,920 Speaker 1: whole fifteen. Right, there you go. But if I couldn't 334 00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:48,119 Speaker 1: take Gronk, who would be my choice between Tony Gonzalez 335 00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:52,440 Speaker 1: and Tonio Gates, Sharp and Witten. Well, Witten's obviously out. 336 00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:54,800 Speaker 1: Based on what I just said, I'm not gonna take 337 00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:58,600 Speaker 1: Shannon Sharp. I'm gonna take You're writing candidate should be 338 00:18:58,600 --> 00:19:01,879 Speaker 1: Travis Kelsey my run. Yeah, but you know I'm partial 339 00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:04,359 Speaker 1: because it's a sentimental pick to Kellen Winslow. If I 340 00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:07,320 Speaker 1: could take a wildcard here, that's true. You can think 341 00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:10,399 Speaker 1: if I actually would take Shannon Sharpe. I listen, I 342 00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:12,840 Speaker 1: think I'm gonna take Gates. I think I'm gonna take Gate. 343 00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:15,360 Speaker 1: I got Dan Marina throwing the football here, that's true. 344 00:19:15,359 --> 00:19:18,520 Speaker 1: And look I got I got t O and Megatron 345 00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:20,359 Speaker 1: and they're gonna attract a lot of attention. Now I 346 00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:22,480 Speaker 1: could throw it to Antonio Gates. This is gonna be 347 00:19:22,520 --> 00:19:25,199 Speaker 1: pretty attractive stuff. I'm running the ball with Walter Payton. 348 00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:28,480 Speaker 1: This is very nice. Yeah, it is very very nice, 349 00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:32,119 Speaker 1: nice team put together.

Hello, Hello, this is in lab. 360 00:20:06,560 --> 00:20:09,800 Speaker 1: My name's Drew Dorty, Old Jazzy Hands himself. John Harris 361 00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:13,040 Speaker 1: is joining us as well. John. We're both I don't 362 00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:17,280 Speaker 1: want to say fighting, but we're both struggling through a little, 363 00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:19,760 Speaker 1: little minor things of our own. You had a root 364 00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:23,119 Speaker 1: canality yesterday that's much more major than me. I just 365 00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:26,840 Speaker 1: have my pupils dilated because I had my Wow Optometris 366 00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:30,399 Speaker 1: check and while we were setting this up, I turned 367 00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:33,000 Speaker 1: my ring light on like this, And I don't know 368 00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:34,680 Speaker 1: if that looks better to you or not, but I'm 369 00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:36,359 Speaker 1: there's no way in hell I'm gonna look into that 370 00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:40,320 Speaker 1: ring light right now with my things on my pupils dilan. 371 00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:44,520 Speaker 1: Although I could do let me try this. Let's lady 372 00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:46,639 Speaker 1: at the Jack in a Box drive through complimenting me 373 00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:48,240 Speaker 1: on my glass. I can do this, But I think 374 00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:52,760 Speaker 1: that'd be kind of weird to do a podcast about this. 375 00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:55,840 Speaker 1: It's just it looks like you have two big lifesavers 376 00:20:56,600 --> 00:20:59,119 Speaker 1: in your screen, you know, the peppermint you know, the 377 00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:02,639 Speaker 1: white peppermint ones on your they look like you're on 378 00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:05,120 Speaker 1: your glass lands. So pretty much it would be kind 379 00:21:05,119 --> 00:21:07,560 Speaker 1: of be kind of interesting. Um, sort of kind of 380 00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:10,520 Speaker 1: tepanish or of the weekend at the super Bowl sort 381 00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:13,800 Speaker 1: of feeling. But either way, that's totally cool. Yeah, I 382 00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:18,359 Speaker 1: hate that, you know. The one thing that you know 383 00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:22,960 Speaker 1: yesterday kind of told me is yep, you know, every 384 00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:28,679 Speaker 1: single day is a day older. Um, I'm approaching five oh, 385 00:21:28,760 --> 00:21:31,760 Speaker 1: And I'm like, man, if this isn't approaching five oh, 386 00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:34,240 Speaker 1: holy smokes. But but you were kind enough to move 387 00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:37,240 Speaker 1: into lab to today so that I could try and 388 00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:40,200 Speaker 1: fight my way through it. And I'm glad, dude, thank 389 00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:44,720 Speaker 1: you very very much for doing that. I'm a magnanimous guy. Um, 390 00:21:45,800 --> 00:21:49,840 Speaker 1: let's chit chat about training camp in a different sort 391 00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:52,600 Speaker 1: of way. Okay, the announcement came out today about the 392 00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:56,920 Speaker 1: Texans training camp. There, they're gonna be twenty two practices. 393 00:21:57,400 --> 00:22:00,399 Speaker 1: They'll go four days in a row, basically every every 394 00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:03,359 Speaker 1: cluster there's a say. So they go four days and 395 00:22:03,359 --> 00:22:04,879 Speaker 1: a run, they have a day off, then they'll go 396 00:22:05,040 --> 00:22:06,959 Speaker 1: six days in a row. Then they have a day 397 00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:10,800 Speaker 1: off and it's only four. After that, they'll go four more, 398 00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:14,160 Speaker 1: go to Green Bay, come back from Green Ay, go four, 399 00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:17,480 Speaker 1: go to Dallas to play the Cowboys, come back, play 400 00:22:17,560 --> 00:22:20,800 Speaker 1: for practice four, and then they'll take on the Buccaneers. 401 00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:25,679 Speaker 1: So it starts Wednesday, July twenty eight. I don't know 402 00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:29,440 Speaker 1: how rigorous that first one's going to be. It ends Thursday, 403 00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:33,840 Speaker 1: August twenty sixth, basically a month long, and it's broken up. 404 00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:36,680 Speaker 1: And this year you knew this. I don't know that 405 00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:39,879 Speaker 1: everyone listening or watching knows this. You don't have the 406 00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:43,320 Speaker 1: standard cuts which you have this year. You're going from 407 00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:47,240 Speaker 1: the ninety man roster, and then after that first preseason 408 00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:50,000 Speaker 1: game the Tuesday after that first preseason game, you're going 409 00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:52,680 Speaker 1: down to eighty five. A week later, after the second 410 00:22:52,680 --> 00:22:56,719 Speaker 1: preseason game on a Tuesday, eighty five to eighty and 411 00:22:56,760 --> 00:23:00,560 Speaker 1: then after the third preseason game you go down to 412 00:23:01,040 --> 00:23:03,119 Speaker 1: fifty three. So you go from eighty to fifty three. 413 00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:05,720 Speaker 1: In the past, it's been nineteen seventy five fifty three. 414 00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:08,800 Speaker 1: This is a little bit different. See'll trim five guys 415 00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:11,879 Speaker 1: at a time with the first two trims. But what 416 00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:14,680 Speaker 1: I wanted to chit chat about was just random a 417 00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:19,480 Speaker 1: memories from Texans training camp, and I'll start things off. 418 00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:26,239 Speaker 1: John thump thump was the sound that I heard, and 419 00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:28,960 Speaker 1: I remarked to Nick Scurfield, who used to work with 420 00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:32,479 Speaker 1: us here at Houston Texans dot com or Pale Scurf, 421 00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:36,480 Speaker 1: and I remarked a lot in twenty eleven at training camp, thump, Well, 422 00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:40,600 Speaker 1: you hear the sound thump a lot when JJ Watt's here. 423 00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:45,679 Speaker 1: It seems like every pass that not every pass, but 424 00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:51,280 Speaker 1: every ten fifteen passes that Matt Shaub or who would 425 00:23:51,320 --> 00:23:54,320 Speaker 1: have been Liner or t J Yates, and I kind 426 00:23:54,320 --> 00:23:57,040 Speaker 1: of think it was I think there was. It was 427 00:23:57,080 --> 00:23:59,560 Speaker 1: like back or Booty was like a there's a fourth 428 00:23:59,600 --> 00:24:03,240 Speaker 1: quarterback around. But it seems like every time he had 429 00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:06,919 Speaker 1: the defense matching up in pass pro or trying to 430 00:24:06,960 --> 00:24:11,479 Speaker 1: do stuff, he was knocking down passes and thumping him 431 00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:13,760 Speaker 1: with his mits. And he would go on two years 432 00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:17,280 Speaker 1: later to really recavoing in that regard. But thump was 433 00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:18,879 Speaker 1: the sound that we heard a lot from J. J. 434 00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:21,199 Speaker 1: Watton to a degree from Connor Barwin as well. He 435 00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:23,199 Speaker 1: had a good his best season as a Texan in 436 00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:26,320 Speaker 1: twenty eleven. And yeah, that was just one thing that 437 00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:28,480 Speaker 1: kind of stood out. And I've got a few more 438 00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:32,119 Speaker 1: on my little list here of training camp memories. Well, 439 00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:36,840 Speaker 1: I think my favorite memory includes one of our favorite 440 00:24:36,840 --> 00:24:41,280 Speaker 1: Texans in a moment in which he was not being 441 00:24:41,440 --> 00:24:46,159 Speaker 1: very Texans worthy, if you will. But in two thousand 442 00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:50,480 Speaker 1: and nine, the Texans, Rick Smith's GM had gone out 443 00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:55,720 Speaker 1: and made some free agent acquisitions. They got out and 444 00:24:55,720 --> 00:24:59,040 Speaker 1: gotten a mongrein oh seven. Didn't really work out. It 445 00:24:59,160 --> 00:25:01,119 Speaker 1: didn't work out at all. And there's some others, and 446 00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:03,960 Speaker 1: so I was always literary of spending free agent dollars, 447 00:25:04,359 --> 00:25:07,840 Speaker 1: but I knew this defense needed some help on the 448 00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:10,880 Speaker 1: on the on the front, Koya was not really kind 449 00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:13,439 Speaker 1: of rounding the shape the way you wanted. Where they 450 00:25:13,520 --> 00:25:16,560 Speaker 1: really need some help up front. And so they went 451 00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:21,600 Speaker 1: to the Super Bowl contending Arizona Cardinals and they signed 452 00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:25,280 Speaker 1: a guy with the Antonio Smith. We learned later, We 453 00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:28,560 Speaker 1: learned later than Ninja now He turned out to be 454 00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:32,359 Speaker 1: one of the great signings of now that the Rick 455 00:25:32,359 --> 00:25:35,000 Speaker 1: Smith's career, but the Texans career. I mean, when you 456 00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:36,840 Speaker 1: talk about free agent, talking about John J Joe, so 457 00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:39,800 Speaker 1: you talk about Ninja, you're talk about Antonio Smith. So 458 00:25:40,440 --> 00:25:42,840 Speaker 1: I'm over sand nex to my pal Lands are a 459 00:25:42,880 --> 00:25:44,520 Speaker 1: line who a lot of people in Houston knowpe. So 460 00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:46,560 Speaker 1: I'm talking. We're next to the the lance and we're kind 461 00:25:46,560 --> 00:25:48,880 Speaker 1: of standing in front, arms kind of crossed, and we're 462 00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:51,160 Speaker 1: watching old line D line one on one pass rush 463 00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:55,400 Speaker 1: drills and that D line can't stay outside. They keep 464 00:25:55,480 --> 00:25:59,120 Speaker 1: jumping off side and it's just completely reckoned the drill. 465 00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:02,720 Speaker 1: And Bill Cole, an defensive line coach, and you don't know, 466 00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:07,159 Speaker 1: Bill was very, very vocal, very vocal. He had a 467 00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:12,800 Speaker 1: few repeated lines he said, that's the idea. I'd say 468 00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:15,800 Speaker 1: that a lot, and you'd also hear up stay up 469 00:26:15,880 --> 00:26:17,880 Speaker 1: like he didn't. He didn't like it. No coach really does. 470 00:26:17,920 --> 00:26:20,040 Speaker 1: But he especially did not like to see players on 471 00:26:20,080 --> 00:26:23,920 Speaker 1: the ground in practice. A former defense the former defensive lineman, 472 00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:28,440 Speaker 1: so he hated. Yes, So the dealer of the line 473 00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:30,440 Speaker 1: can't stay on side. I mean, they just can't. They're 474 00:26:30,560 --> 00:26:32,879 Speaker 1: jumping the snap count. I mean, it's first day in pads. 475 00:26:33,119 --> 00:26:36,159 Speaker 1: They're jumping the snap count. And at one point he 476 00:26:36,200 --> 00:26:39,520 Speaker 1: gets upset and he says something to the defensive line 477 00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:44,000 Speaker 1: about continue to kill the drill whatever. So Droe goes 478 00:26:44,040 --> 00:26:46,560 Speaker 1: on for a few more reps. Antonio goes up, he 479 00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:51,000 Speaker 1: jumps off side and I promise you Bill collar Bill 480 00:26:51,080 --> 00:26:54,280 Speaker 1: Colar didn't really say anything loud enough for us to hear. 481 00:26:54,359 --> 00:26:57,080 Speaker 1: Now we're standing probably a good ten fifteen yards away. 482 00:26:57,480 --> 00:27:00,240 Speaker 1: He didn't say anything that we could hear. We heard 483 00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:03,560 Speaker 1: the previous one. We didn't hear anything. We're just all right. 484 00:27:04,119 --> 00:27:08,399 Speaker 1: And all of a sudden, Antonio flipped the switch and 485 00:27:08,560 --> 00:27:12,760 Speaker 1: he was like, you want me to unleash the bleepity 486 00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:15,560 Speaker 1: bleep dogs. You want me to unleash the blap, Well 487 00:27:15,560 --> 00:27:17,840 Speaker 1: you'll you'll see me. And Mario Williams is having to 488 00:27:17,840 --> 00:27:20,159 Speaker 1: hold him back. So I can't figure out if Antonio 489 00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:23,760 Speaker 1: is mad at Kolar, or if Antonio is mad at 490 00:27:23,800 --> 00:27:27,159 Speaker 1: the offense or what. And then I realized Antonio is 491 00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:30,000 Speaker 1: walking towards Kolar, And what I loved about the whole 492 00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:33,879 Speaker 1: interaction is Antonio is just losing his mind. Is that 493 00:27:34,600 --> 00:27:38,399 Speaker 1: Kolar is standing there staring at him like, come on, 494 00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:41,840 Speaker 1: let's go, and I just I just hear it. This 495 00:27:42,600 --> 00:27:48,440 Speaker 1: is a low voice in my ear that says, hey, Johnny, 496 00:27:49,160 --> 00:27:52,159 Speaker 1: that's the Texans top free agent signing of two thousand 497 00:27:52,160 --> 00:27:54,800 Speaker 1: and nine. How you feel? And that was Lance saying 498 00:27:54,800 --> 00:27:57,080 Speaker 1: it in my ear. And the thing was, after that year, 499 00:27:57,119 --> 00:27:59,399 Speaker 1: I felt like, yeah, it was a great signing. To 500 00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:01,400 Speaker 1: be honest, he had a great career with the Texans, 501 00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:04,639 Speaker 1: went to the problem and that that was an inauspicious start, 502 00:28:04,720 --> 00:28:08,760 Speaker 1: to say the least, getting in a little tad taste 503 00:28:08,760 --> 00:28:12,560 Speaker 1: slash fight well the very first practice of his in 504 00:28:12,600 --> 00:28:14,840 Speaker 1: two thousand and nine. I never would want to see 505 00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:17,240 Speaker 1: those two guys fight because I like both of them. 506 00:28:17,240 --> 00:28:20,479 Speaker 1: They're both great players, great code, great minds, you know, 507 00:28:20,600 --> 00:28:24,240 Speaker 1: good guys. But that would have been a rumble because 508 00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:28,600 Speaker 1: Bill Collar once wrestled a bear um and he was 509 00:28:28,640 --> 00:28:31,200 Speaker 1: a defensive lineman for about a decade in the NFL. 510 00:28:31,800 --> 00:28:33,960 Speaker 1: He's he got put into the Senior Ball Hall of Family. 511 00:28:33,920 --> 00:28:35,960 Speaker 1: I mean, that guy can handle his business, so and 512 00:28:36,040 --> 00:28:38,360 Speaker 1: we know that Ninja could handle his business, so of 513 00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:41,240 Speaker 1: course that's that that would have been something to see. 514 00:28:41,280 --> 00:28:44,000 Speaker 1: But they patched up I know they probably think pretty 515 00:28:44,040 --> 00:28:47,000 Speaker 1: highly of each other these days. So thump was mine. 516 00:28:47,040 --> 00:28:51,240 Speaker 1: You were talking about the Ninja and coach Kolar. Water 517 00:28:51,560 --> 00:28:54,560 Speaker 1: is something that really has been a big deal around here. 518 00:28:54,960 --> 00:28:59,360 Speaker 1: Water being dumped on Kevin Walter on his August fourth birthday. 519 00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:04,400 Speaker 1: I remember it like twenty twelve ish and they doused him. 520 00:29:04,440 --> 00:29:06,720 Speaker 1: I think it was like Myers and Shaw might have 521 00:29:06,760 --> 00:29:09,840 Speaker 1: got him. And then around that year I think it 522 00:29:09,880 --> 00:29:12,480 Speaker 1: was around twelve or eleven, maybe thirteen, but I just 523 00:29:12,520 --> 00:29:16,000 Speaker 1: remember Brian Brayman Special Team are extraordinary, had long hair 524 00:29:16,360 --> 00:29:20,479 Speaker 1: won a Super Bowl ring with the seventeen Eagles. He 525 00:29:20,960 --> 00:29:23,080 Speaker 1: was at the seventeen He goes, Yeah, the seventeen he goes. 526 00:29:23,360 --> 00:29:26,080 Speaker 1: I remember Tim sitting in this big tub of ice 527 00:29:26,480 --> 00:29:29,360 Speaker 1: ice water after a practice trying to cool off, and 528 00:29:29,480 --> 00:29:32,040 Speaker 1: just it made for a good picture. But you know, 529 00:29:32,120 --> 00:29:34,160 Speaker 1: it's tough to stay cool around here. I mean, Sean 530 00:29:34,280 --> 00:29:36,720 Speaker 1: Cody on the podcast a couple weeks ago was talking 531 00:29:36,720 --> 00:29:38,840 Speaker 1: about how his feet would squish, and we saw that 532 00:29:38,840 --> 00:29:41,600 Speaker 1: with Vince wolfwork on Our Knox a couple of years back. 533 00:29:41,640 --> 00:29:45,400 Speaker 1: But water in many, many forms is a big part 534 00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:51,760 Speaker 1: of training camp. It is no doubt, and my next 535 00:29:51,800 --> 00:29:55,760 Speaker 1: one actually does need to take place in Houston. The 536 00:29:55,880 --> 00:29:59,040 Speaker 1: two years that we went up to West Virginia to 537 00:29:59,320 --> 00:30:05,280 Speaker 1: the Greenbrier. Yeah, that's how I remember too. I remember 538 00:30:05,360 --> 00:30:09,560 Speaker 1: the first day walking over to the field, like we 539 00:30:09,600 --> 00:30:12,480 Speaker 1: had no real idea that you and I had not 540 00:30:12,560 --> 00:30:14,520 Speaker 1: been there. I think Mark had been there for a day, 541 00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:16,240 Speaker 1: but we really didn't know the set up, what it 542 00:30:16,240 --> 00:30:18,520 Speaker 1: was going to look like. And I remember we rolled 543 00:30:18,600 --> 00:30:20,600 Speaker 1: up on the first day, was that we weren't didn't 544 00:30:20,600 --> 00:30:23,160 Speaker 1: go on radio that day, but the day before we 545 00:30:23,200 --> 00:30:24,680 Speaker 1: had to go look at our setup and how the 546 00:30:24,680 --> 00:30:26,120 Speaker 1: setup was gonna go. And Mark and I went up 547 00:30:26,120 --> 00:30:28,600 Speaker 1: there to kind of check out the setup and we 548 00:30:28,880 --> 00:30:31,600 Speaker 1: drove up, we pulled up, and we put our equipment 549 00:30:31,640 --> 00:30:36,200 Speaker 1: down and we honestly just looked around and we were like, 550 00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:40,480 Speaker 1: oh my god, look at this place. This is unbelievable. 551 00:30:40,920 --> 00:30:43,640 Speaker 1: And it was. It was different. I mean, when you're 552 00:30:43,640 --> 00:30:46,600 Speaker 1: back home, there's such energy from the fans being there 553 00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:48,920 Speaker 1: and then wanting autographs and all that. And there wasn't 554 00:30:48,960 --> 00:30:51,840 Speaker 1: a big crowd. We could go watch the practices from 555 00:30:51,880 --> 00:30:57,800 Speaker 1: the bleachers and it was such a beautiful environment. But 556 00:30:57,880 --> 00:31:00,720 Speaker 1: to your point about water, I remember, I can't remember 557 00:31:00,840 --> 00:31:03,840 Speaker 1: seventeen or eighteen, But there was one day where the 558 00:31:03,960 --> 00:31:08,880 Speaker 1: skies just and it poured down and the practice is 559 00:31:08,960 --> 00:31:14,120 Speaker 1: over and the guys were just sliding into rain puddles 560 00:31:14,120 --> 00:31:16,440 Speaker 1: out on the field and it was it was awesome. 561 00:31:16,440 --> 00:31:19,280 Speaker 1: I mean we did everything Greenbrier, went hiking, we gambled, 562 00:31:19,400 --> 00:31:22,080 Speaker 1: we ate a great restaurants. I mean, it was just 563 00:31:22,160 --> 00:31:24,280 Speaker 1: a really fun time to be up the Greenbrier, and 564 00:31:24,280 --> 00:31:26,840 Speaker 1: anybody that went up there and knows how cool it 565 00:31:26,920 --> 00:31:28,360 Speaker 1: was to do that for a couple of years. I 566 00:31:28,400 --> 00:31:30,960 Speaker 1: was very happy to come back in twenty nineteen to 567 00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:32,960 Speaker 1: do it from here because we were gone for so long. 568 00:31:33,360 --> 00:31:37,840 Speaker 1: But being at the Greenbrier also brought up my favorite 569 00:31:37,920 --> 00:31:41,640 Speaker 1: story I think maybe ever the Houston Texans with a 570 00:31:41,800 --> 00:31:47,760 Speaker 1: young lady the name of Marty. Marty, I know, you 571 00:31:47,880 --> 00:31:51,080 Speaker 1: know who Marty is. Well, you've just ruined the whole story, 572 00:31:51,280 --> 00:31:53,200 Speaker 1: because I didn't ruin the whole story. You have to 573 00:31:53,240 --> 00:31:57,840 Speaker 1: tell the story now, Well you kind of did anyways, 574 00:31:58,200 --> 00:32:03,520 Speaker 1: So first year in seventeen, we were all sort of 575 00:32:03,920 --> 00:32:06,080 Speaker 1: it was just like here's where, here's where you're staying. 576 00:32:06,120 --> 00:32:08,720 Speaker 1: And they told us where we're staying going into eighteen, 577 00:32:08,800 --> 00:32:12,040 Speaker 1: they said listen, we're gonna have to figure some things out. 578 00:32:12,120 --> 00:32:15,680 Speaker 1: So you know, you guys in the media and social media, 579 00:32:16,080 --> 00:32:19,560 Speaker 1: you know, digital media department, we gotta gotta fend for yourselves. 580 00:32:19,560 --> 00:32:22,640 Speaker 1: Figure out where you're gonna stay. So you know, there 581 00:32:22,680 --> 00:32:24,520 Speaker 1: was no room at the end where we had stayed 582 00:32:24,560 --> 00:32:27,000 Speaker 1: the year before. So I was placed in charge.

And I basically we were all split up 587 00:32:41,040 --> 00:32:44,160 Speaker 1: at the dudes, you know, the younger guys in a house. 588 00:32:44,160 --> 00:32:46,840 Speaker 1: Were you with you remember at the last couple of days, 589 00:32:46,840 --> 00:32:50,080 Speaker 1: I was, yeah. So there was a really nice house 590 00:32:49,440 --> 00:32:52,760 Speaker 1: the property that was not the Greenbrier, but on their property. 591 00:32:52,800 --> 00:32:55,280 Speaker 1: They had these houses. So the young guys who were 592 00:32:55,280 --> 00:32:57,640 Speaker 1: shooting and editing video, they were there and that was 593 00:32:57,800 --> 00:33:00,880 Speaker 1: a good setup. I had you and your family. Yeah, 594 00:33:00,880 --> 00:33:02,680 Speaker 1: you were with your family. I had you at a 595 00:33:02,720 --> 00:33:05,200 Speaker 1: house probably about ten minutes from the Green Bar. It 596 00:33:05,280 --> 00:33:10,240 Speaker 1: was great all accounts. Um. I had another house booked 597 00:33:11,680 --> 00:33:14,160 Speaker 1: and it was me. It was it was like a 598 00:33:14,280 --> 00:33:16,680 Speaker 1: multi room house. It was me and I think Deep 599 00:33:16,880 --> 00:33:20,800 Speaker 1: was gonna be there too, and Marty was the person 600 00:33:20,840 --> 00:33:27,080 Speaker 1: who I booked it through. And I think Marty was like, oh, 601 00:33:27,120 --> 00:33:29,200 Speaker 1: I can do your laundry for you, which is kind 602 00:33:29,240 --> 00:33:32,280 Speaker 1: of ye remember and uh. And then I was like 603 00:33:32,400 --> 00:33:35,040 Speaker 1: I Marty was like, well, I'll be downstairs. I'll just 604 00:33:35,080 --> 00:33:39,440 Speaker 1: be living downstairs while you're there. And I was like, oh, okay, 605 00:33:39,560 --> 00:33:42,520 Speaker 1: Marty and Deep without it like that put off like 606 00:33:42,800 --> 00:33:45,600 Speaker 1: red bells and warning signals in her mind, She's like, yeah, 607 00:33:45,600 --> 00:33:47,360 Speaker 1: I'm out, I'm staying at a hotel. It's like okay. 608 00:33:47,640 --> 00:33:49,280 Speaker 1: So but I was like I was, I was a game. 609 00:33:49,560 --> 00:33:52,040 Speaker 1: I'll stay in there. I mean, hey, I've got the 610 00:33:52,040 --> 00:33:55,320 Speaker 1: whole place to myself and Marty will be downstairs, you know, 611 00:33:55,360 --> 00:33:57,080 Speaker 1: because it was it was like a beach house kind 612 00:33:57,080 --> 00:33:59,600 Speaker 1: of set up where you walk up these outside steps 613 00:33:59,600 --> 00:34:01,480 Speaker 1: and then you go in and then there's like a 614 00:34:01,680 --> 00:34:05,080 Speaker 1: not really an entrance downstairs. Well, it turns out Marty's 615 00:34:05,120 --> 00:34:09,680 Speaker 1: is sweet lady, you know, in her seventies who just 616 00:34:09,800 --> 00:34:12,480 Speaker 1: she knows she rented her place out and um, yeah 617 00:34:12,239 --> 00:34:14,680 Speaker 1: she did do my laundry, thank thank goodness. And I 618 00:34:14,680 --> 00:34:16,799 Speaker 1: would I love where we stayed. It was on the 619 00:34:16,880 --> 00:34:21,279 Speaker 1: river in this gated community. She was on probably two 620 00:34:21,280 --> 00:34:23,799 Speaker 1: acres three acres of land with all these other house 621 00:34:23,840 --> 00:34:27,319 Speaker 1: It was just beautiful. So, yeah, Marty was Marty took 622 00:34:27,360 --> 00:34:29,800 Speaker 1: care of us. But you kind of assume Marty was 623 00:34:29,840 --> 00:34:32,920 Speaker 1: a dude. It sort of sound a creepy with the 624 00:34:33,000 --> 00:34:36,640 Speaker 1: context there. So yeah, Marty turned out to be a woman. 625 00:34:36,719 --> 00:34:39,239 Speaker 1: That was awesome. My last thing is it's fun. For 626 00:34:39,239 --> 00:34:41,520 Speaker 1: the first time since twenty fifteen, the Texans are going 627 00:34:41,560 --> 00:34:43,759 Speaker 1: to practice at night in front of fans, which is cool. 628 00:34:44,560 --> 00:34:47,960 Speaker 1: It hadn't done it in a while, and before twenty fifteen, 629 00:34:47,960 --> 00:34:50,520 Speaker 1: I think it had probably been about three four, maybe 630 00:34:50,560 --> 00:34:53,479 Speaker 1: five years then, you know, so those practices are rare 631 00:34:53,920 --> 00:34:56,680 Speaker 1: at night, and that'll be cool because it's the heat 632 00:34:56,760 --> 00:34:58,520 Speaker 1: in the morning. The heat and humidity in the morning 633 00:34:59,160 --> 00:35:02,680 Speaker 1: is a lot stick it seems just anecdotally from my memory, Yeah, 634 00:35:02,880 --> 00:35:04,520 Speaker 1: than it is at night. Seems like there's a better 635 00:35:04,520 --> 00:35:07,200 Speaker 1: breeze at night. It's dryer at night. It just feels better. 636 00:35:07,239 --> 00:35:10,960 Speaker 1: We'll see if that changes. But I'm excited to be 637 00:35:11,120 --> 00:35:14,160 Speaker 1: under the lights. You on my final training camp story 638 00:35:14,200 --> 00:35:17,440 Speaker 1: because it actually ties in, it ties into the last 639 00:35:17,440 --> 00:35:20,120 Speaker 1: time there was a night practice before twenty fifteen, and 640 00:35:20,200 --> 00:35:24,560 Speaker 1: it occurred in twenty ten. Yeah, I think that might 641 00:35:24,560 --> 00:35:28,160 Speaker 1: have been the last time they'd done it. So that 642 00:35:28,320 --> 00:35:33,200 Speaker 1: night practice is over, and the day before my same 643 00:35:33,280 --> 00:35:35,799 Speaker 1: friend who I mentioned earlier I say friend in this 644 00:35:35,880 --> 00:35:39,160 Speaker 1: time within air quotes, my friend Lance Airline, decided that 645 00:35:39,239 --> 00:35:41,960 Speaker 1: he was going to go up to Dwayne Brown and 646 00:35:42,160 --> 00:35:45,840 Speaker 1: tell Dwayne Brown that I wasn't a big fan of 647 00:35:45,920 --> 00:35:49,480 Speaker 1: him being drafted, and so they had a conversation about it, 648 00:35:49,520 --> 00:35:52,919 Speaker 1: and Lance actually did have my back, and he did 649 00:35:53,000 --> 00:35:54,839 Speaker 1: point out that the few games that I did watch 650 00:35:54,880 --> 00:35:58,359 Speaker 1: that Dwayne did say to him at that point, yeah, yeah, man, 651 00:35:58,440 --> 00:36:00,120 Speaker 1: I didn't play well in either one of those games 652 00:36:00,120 --> 00:36:02,520 Speaker 1: he watched. So anyways, there was some back into it. 653 00:36:02,560 --> 00:36:05,520 Speaker 1: But now that Lance did that, I felt like, man, 654 00:36:05,880 --> 00:36:09,720 Speaker 1: I okay, I gotta I gotta meet Dwayne. At this point, 655 00:36:10,200 --> 00:36:13,279 Speaker 1: I didn't really have any locker room responsibility because we 656 00:36:13,280 --> 00:36:15,600 Speaker 1: always had an afternoon show, so practice at that point 657 00:36:15,640 --> 00:36:18,320 Speaker 1: we always had revealed Rams and Allie or David Nunio, 658 00:36:19,320 --> 00:36:22,520 Speaker 1: and so we we didn't we didn't do any of that, 659 00:36:22,680 --> 00:36:24,880 Speaker 1: so I didn't really have a chance to meet Duyne. 660 00:36:24,920 --> 00:36:26,160 Speaker 1: At that point. I was like, you know what, I'm 661 00:36:26,200 --> 00:36:28,480 Speaker 1: just gonna bite the bulletim and do it so that 662 00:36:28,640 --> 00:36:31,160 Speaker 1: night practice is over. And Dwayne would have years where 663 00:36:31,280 --> 00:36:33,319 Speaker 1: there were sometimes where he would like cut weight, He'd 664 00:36:33,360 --> 00:36:35,719 Speaker 1: be like three ten, and sometimes he would pack it on. 665 00:36:35,800 --> 00:36:39,040 Speaker 1: He'd be like three twenty five through thirty. This is 666 00:36:39,080 --> 00:36:40,600 Speaker 1: one of those years I think he had packed it on. 667 00:36:41,840 --> 00:36:44,440 Speaker 1: So he's talking a couple of people. I'm kind of 668 00:36:44,480 --> 00:36:47,640 Speaker 1: standing there waiting for him. He frees up. He's got 669 00:36:47,640 --> 00:36:49,360 Speaker 1: a big smile on his face. He reaches out his 670 00:36:49,440 --> 00:36:52,000 Speaker 1: hand to shake my hand, and he's got you've seen 671 00:36:52,040 --> 00:36:54,720 Speaker 1: that Duyne Brown smile, smile as big as a stadium. 672 00:36:55,440 --> 00:36:57,680 Speaker 1: And I said, hey, Dwayne, I'm John Harris. I got 673 00:36:57,760 --> 00:37:00,120 Speaker 1: John Harris out of my mouth and that smile was 674 00:37:00,239 --> 00:37:03,560 Speaker 1: scowl and I'm like, I'm gonna die like r I 675 00:37:03,680 --> 00:37:06,319 Speaker 1: p John Harris like right here. And he just looks 676 00:37:06,360 --> 00:37:09,560 Speaker 1: at me, goes, I hear you don't like me very much, 677 00:37:11,360 --> 00:37:17,080 Speaker 1: and thank God for quick thinking. I went, well, I 678 00:37:17,320 --> 00:37:20,360 Speaker 1: used to feel that way, but I don't anymore. And 679 00:37:20,480 --> 00:37:22,719 Speaker 1: immediately I see this smile start to creep on his 680 00:37:22,800 --> 00:37:26,360 Speaker 1: face and that was that was kind of the beginning 681 00:37:26,520 --> 00:37:31,040 Speaker 1: of the John Harris Dwayne Brown actually more of my 682 00:37:31,520 --> 00:37:34,080 Speaker 1: repair of the relationship, but I tried to tear down 683 00:37:34,280 --> 00:37:37,239 Speaker 1: with my draft thoughts about one of the great NFL 684 00:37:37,360 --> 00:37:40,200 Speaker 1: lineman there's ever been and Dwayne Brown. But I remember 685 00:37:40,280 --> 00:37:42,600 Speaker 1: us talking for a while and you know, just talking 686 00:37:42,719 --> 00:37:45,120 Speaker 1: ball and just saying, man, you know, here's why I 687 00:37:45,200 --> 00:37:47,640 Speaker 1: missed on you, and I wish you luck. And then 688 00:37:47,680 --> 00:37:48,960 Speaker 1: of course I came in the building and I got 689 00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:51,920 Speaker 1: to know him even more. So it was kind of 690 00:37:51,960 --> 00:37:54,240 Speaker 1: this bittersweet day in twenty seventeen when he was traded 691 00:37:54,280 --> 00:37:57,080 Speaker 1: to Seattle. And I remember seeing him the day before 692 00:37:58,160 --> 00:37:59,600 Speaker 1: he was traded to see. Yeah, we had come back 693 00:37:59,680 --> 00:38:02,160 Speaker 1: from Seattle, and it was that Monday, and I was 694 00:38:02,280 --> 00:38:06,120 Speaker 1: walking back into the studio and he was going to 695 00:38:06,239 --> 00:38:08,000 Speaker 1: locker room and it was taking me a little bit 696 00:38:08,040 --> 00:38:10,640 Speaker 1: good studio, but he saw it was me and he 697 00:38:10,719 --> 00:38:12,439 Speaker 1: waited to go in the locker room. So I don't 698 00:38:12,440 --> 00:38:13,880 Speaker 1: know if he knew he was being traded or not 699 00:38:14,200 --> 00:38:16,840 Speaker 1: or whatever. I didn't bring that up or anything, but 700 00:38:16,960 --> 00:38:18,160 Speaker 1: he just looked at me and said, hey, man, it's 701 00:38:18,200 --> 00:38:20,160 Speaker 1: good to see you again. And I was like, hey man, 702 00:38:20,920 --> 00:38:22,800 Speaker 1: you know how you feeling. His first game, you know, 703 00:38:23,560 --> 00:38:25,320 Speaker 1: is yeah, I'm pretty sore. So we chatted for just 704 00:38:25,400 --> 00:38:27,640 Speaker 1: a little bit and then it was like later that afternoon, 705 00:38:28,400 --> 00:38:30,160 Speaker 1: he's going off to Seattle. It's kind of weird. But 706 00:38:30,239 --> 00:38:33,400 Speaker 1: that night practice, that night practice, was that opportunity for 707 00:38:33,520 --> 00:38:35,560 Speaker 1: he and I to kind of patch things up. Me 708 00:38:36,120 --> 00:38:38,880 Speaker 1: basically patching it up my mea culpa to him that 709 00:38:39,520 --> 00:38:42,480 Speaker 1: I shouldn't have gone the direction I did in talking 710 00:38:42,520 --> 00:38:45,520 Speaker 1: about him the way that I did, because he was everything, 711 00:38:46,120 --> 00:38:50,160 Speaker 1: everything that you want an NFL offensive linement, and I 712 00:38:50,239 --> 00:38:53,640 Speaker 1: missed it. But it was that night that that night practice. 713 00:38:53,840 --> 00:38:55,560 Speaker 1: Thank god it was not a day practice because it 714 00:38:55,600 --> 00:38:58,000 Speaker 1: was a day practice. You know how you feel, you feel, 715 00:38:58,480 --> 00:39:01,200 Speaker 1: how we feel after one of those practices. Imagine what 716 00:39:01,440 --> 00:39:03,719 Speaker 1: the players feel after that. I mean, like you said, 717 00:39:05,320 --> 00:39:07,440 Speaker 1: it would not have gone in a good direction, that's 718 00:39:07,480 --> 00:39:09,800 Speaker 1: for sure, but it did because it was a night practice. 719 00:39:09,840 --> 00:39:12,040 Speaker 1: So I was thinking about his night practices, and Duane 720 00:39:12,040 --> 00:39:14,040 Speaker 1: will always be that guy I think about. There's no 721 00:39:14,200 --> 00:39:17,319 Speaker 1: doubt every night practice I will think of Dwayne Brown 722 00:39:17,480 --> 00:39:21,240 Speaker 1: who plays for the Seattle Seahawks, and there's news about 723 00:39:21,239 --> 00:39:24,480 Speaker 1: a former Seahawk coming up around the NFL. Next of 724 00:39:24,600 --> 00:39:32,640 Speaker 1: Texans will access We're gonna final segment this Wednesday edition 725 00:39:32,800 --> 00:39:35,560 Speaker 1: of Texans All Access. Appreciate you being here with me, 726 00:39:36,040 --> 00:39:39,720 Speaker 1: John Harris, football analyst, Southern reporter for your Houston Texans 727 00:39:40,239 --> 00:39:42,080 Speaker 1: And as we go around the NFL, there really is 728 00:39:42,680 --> 00:39:48,520 Speaker 1: I think one storyline that has dominated the NFL headlines 729 00:39:48,760 --> 00:39:51,960 Speaker 1: pretty much all day long, and that's having to do 730 00:39:52,360 --> 00:39:57,240 Speaker 1: with Richard Sherman. If you miss this news earlier today, 731 00:39:57,440 --> 00:39:59,759 Speaker 1: there's and there's a lot as kind of the hour 732 00:40:00,640 --> 00:40:04,080 Speaker 1: passed by that we're finding out more and more. But 733 00:40:05,120 --> 00:40:08,719 Speaker 1: in essence, it was about eight thirty nine o'clock this morning, 734 00:40:08,760 --> 00:40:11,279 Speaker 1: I think when I first saw this pop up on 735 00:40:11,400 --> 00:40:16,640 Speaker 1: Twitter about Richard Sherman being arrested. He was booked at 736 00:40:16,760 --> 00:40:21,799 Speaker 1: six o eight local time out in Seattle for burglary 737 00:40:22,600 --> 00:40:27,840 Speaker 1: domestic violence. Now that's a lot to handle. It's a 738 00:40:27,960 --> 00:40:32,080 Speaker 1: phony charge. But he was booked at six or eight 739 00:40:32,200 --> 00:40:34,880 Speaker 1: local time in Seattle at the King County Correctional Facility. 740 00:40:35,560 --> 00:40:40,480 Speaker 1: He was denied bail, but that's more procedural thing for 741 00:40:40,680 --> 00:40:45,400 Speaker 1: the Wisconsin, Wisconsin, Washington State Police Department. This pretty standard procedure. 742 00:40:45,520 --> 00:40:53,440 Speaker 1: He cannot take on bail until he stands before a judge. 743 00:40:53,560 --> 00:40:56,480 Speaker 1: That will not take place until Thursday afternoon, so he's 744 00:40:56,520 --> 00:41:00,960 Speaker 1: gonna be held at the correctional facility from that point. Now, 745 00:41:01,160 --> 00:41:04,960 Speaker 1: there's a lot that goes with this. The timing essentially 746 00:41:05,160 --> 00:41:08,880 Speaker 1: is that at I guess it was his house or 747 00:41:08,920 --> 00:41:12,279 Speaker 1: a residence. It's about two o'clock in the morning that 748 00:41:12,800 --> 00:41:15,359 Speaker 1: a person calling saying that an adult male family member 749 00:41:15,360 --> 00:41:17,200 Speaker 1: who did not live at the residence was attempting to 750 00:41:17,280 --> 00:41:21,560 Speaker 1: force his way into the home. When police arrived, Sherman 751 00:41:21,719 --> 00:41:24,160 Speaker 1: was outside the house. He fought with police, but was 752 00:41:24,239 --> 00:41:28,240 Speaker 1: eventually apprehended the help of a canine unit. Oh good grief, 753 00:41:28,600 --> 00:41:30,439 Speaker 1: and he was taken to a local hospital to be checked. 754 00:41:30,440 --> 00:41:32,000 Speaker 1: After he was checked and he was okay, he was 755 00:41:32,040 --> 00:41:35,560 Speaker 1: booked at the correctional facility. Now, adding more to this, 756 00:41:36,080 --> 00:41:38,480 Speaker 1: the Washington State Police received the report of a single 757 00:41:38,560 --> 00:41:44,920 Speaker 1: car accident at approximately one am Pacific. The car was 758 00:41:45,120 --> 00:41:48,200 Speaker 1: registered to Sherman. It struck a concrete barrier and was 759 00:41:48,239 --> 00:41:55,279 Speaker 1: abandoned in a near by parking lot. So, taking all 760 00:41:55,360 --> 00:41:58,160 Speaker 1: of that into account, no one knows what this is 761 00:41:58,160 --> 00:42:02,000 Speaker 1: going to mean for Richard Sherman, his wife. I think 762 00:42:02,040 --> 00:42:06,400 Speaker 1: that's what it was touted. His wife, Ashley Wolf actually 763 00:42:06,480 --> 00:42:09,400 Speaker 1: Moss excuse me, told the Seattle Times, and I quote, 764 00:42:09,440 --> 00:42:11,760 Speaker 1: he didn't harm anybody. My kids are not harmed the incident. 765 00:42:11,960 --> 00:42:14,120 Speaker 1: He's a good person. This is not his character. We're 766 00:42:14,200 --> 00:42:17,200 Speaker 1: doing all right, just trying to get him out. I 767 00:42:17,320 --> 00:42:20,480 Speaker 1: want people to know no one was injured. Well, I'll 768 00:42:20,520 --> 00:42:23,839 Speaker 1: tell you between burglary, domestic violence all in one fell 769 00:42:23,880 --> 00:42:26,760 Speaker 1: swoop and not being held or being held up bail. 770 00:42:27,200 --> 00:42:32,160 Speaker 1: That freaked everybody today and people have just run with it. 771 00:42:33,360 --> 00:42:36,800 Speaker 1: Many many years ago, lived in Burlington, North Carolina, and 772 00:42:37,000 --> 00:42:41,600 Speaker 1: watched Duke University lcross players get raked over the coals 773 00:42:41,600 --> 00:42:45,760 Speaker 1: for all the things that they didn't do. Rushing to judgment, 774 00:42:46,280 --> 00:42:48,239 Speaker 1: We'll see how this thing all pans out. But Richard 775 00:42:48,280 --> 00:42:50,600 Speaker 1: Sherman is a free agent and there is going to 776 00:42:50,760 --> 00:42:52,680 Speaker 1: be a lot of things he now is going to 777 00:42:52,760 --> 00:42:54,840 Speaker 1: have to work through to be able to get with 778 00:42:54,920 --> 00:42:57,040 Speaker 1: the team. At that point, I think that's probably the 779 00:42:57,160 --> 00:42:59,440 Speaker 1: least of his worries. But he goes before I judge 780 00:42:59,520 --> 00:43:03,359 Speaker 1: Thursday afternoon to see where this thing will all lead 781 00:43:03,480 --> 00:43:08,120 Speaker 1: for Richard Sherman future. I would imagine future Hall of 782 00:43:08,160 --> 00:43:11,880 Speaker 1: Fame corner into trouble out in Seattle. Big thanks, to 783 00:43:11,960 --> 00:43:13,919 Speaker 1: Mark and it Drew for the show. Appreciate you guys 784 00:43:13,960 --> 00:43:15,720 Speaker 1: for being here. We'll see tomorrow, but it does always 785 00:43:15,760 --> 00:43:16,200 Speaker 1: go Texans.
