1
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:01,080
Speaker 1: What's up, everybody?

2
00:00:01,120 --> 00:00:04,040
Speaker 2: Welcome into a Monday edition of Texans All Access from

3
00:00:04,120 --> 00:00:08,479
Speaker 2: the Honday Texans Radio studio, John Harris alongside the Voice

4
00:00:08,520 --> 00:00:10,400
Speaker 2: of the Texans, Mark vandermir Mark.

5
00:00:10,520 --> 00:00:15,680
Speaker 1: We are ever so close. My math is correct.

6
00:00:15,960 --> 00:00:19,160
Speaker 2: Tuesday Wednesday, Thursday, we're seventy two hours from kickoff.

7
00:00:19,320 --> 00:00:22,599
Speaker 3: That is correct, John math correct. It's darn right correct.

8
00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:25,640
Speaker 4: And guess what else, we're seventy two hours from possible

9
00:00:26,360 --> 00:00:28,800
Speaker 4: rain in New England on Thursday night.

10
00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:30,760
Speaker 3: Sorry, it's in the forecast.

11
00:00:31,040 --> 00:00:34,040
Speaker 1: I actually wouldn't even mind it actually really even care.

12
00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:36,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, you won't care. But let me tell you something,

13
00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:37,279
Speaker 3: all right.

14
00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:39,919
Speaker 4: I've mentioned before and this is a little inside baseball

15
00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:43,360
Speaker 4: stuff that we produce our own preseason TV broadcasts.

16
00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:43,519
Speaker 5: Right.

17
00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:45,960
Speaker 4: We won't do the Saints game because that's a Fox game, right,

18
00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:49,080
Speaker 4: But everything else we do if it's not a national game.

19
00:00:49,159 --> 00:00:51,640
Speaker 4: So every year it's two, three, four preseason games, no

20
00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:55,200
Speaker 4: longer four. So we're producing this one right now. I'm

21
00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:59,440
Speaker 4: sweating out and I order the trucks and help out

22
00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:02,600
Speaker 4: and things like that. On a business end, I'm sweating

23
00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:07,399
Speaker 4: out satellite issues with the cloud cover if they're thunderstorms

24
00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:15,039
Speaker 4: or thunder delay not good, Please no, because now you're

25
00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:18,200
Speaker 4: in rain delay mode and you can't put on leave

26
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:21,679
Speaker 4: it to Beaver or Andy Griffith or whatever your local

27
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:24,080
Speaker 4: station used to do back in the day. Some of

28
00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:27,880
Speaker 4: you more seasoned people remember rain delays like that. These days,

29
00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:30,680
Speaker 4: it's more like you're watching the astros on AT and

30
00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:33,199
Speaker 4: T Sports Southwest and they'll put on something else, right,

31
00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:37,200
Speaker 4: They'll put on whatever. You know, astros bases loaded TV show. Well,

32
00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:40,280
Speaker 4: guess what, We've got TV shows galore. So I think

33
00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:42,600
Speaker 4: from the truck we could air one of those specials,

34
00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:46,160
Speaker 4: you know, some long features whatever. But I'm hoping that

35
00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:48,280
Speaker 4: that is not the case and we can get through

36
00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:49,520
Speaker 4: the broadcast, get through the game.

37
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:50,320
Speaker 1: Now. I'm with you.

38
00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:52,720
Speaker 2: I had looked at the weather the other day and

39
00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:54,320
Speaker 2: I was mad because it was going to be eighty

40
00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:56,720
Speaker 2: five degrees and I'm like, wow, I'm out of eighty

41
00:01:56,760 --> 00:01:57,279
Speaker 2: five degrees.

42
00:01:57,320 --> 00:01:58,800
Speaker 3: That's a cold front for us right now.

43
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:01,400
Speaker 1: That's all I was like. I wasn't I just I wanted.

44
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:02,440
Speaker 1: I was getting selfish.

45
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:05,480
Speaker 2: I was I was being greedy and I wanted about

46
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:09,239
Speaker 2: your seven six degrees. But it's been so darn hot.

47
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:11,080
Speaker 2: If we got rain, I don't think that I would.

48
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:12,679
Speaker 2: I honestly, I don't know that I would care. I

49
00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:15,200
Speaker 2: don't you know how much I panic about the rain

50
00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:17,880
Speaker 2: because I got equipment down there and whatever, and it

51
00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:21,920
Speaker 2: just well, who cares, It's gonna be football and hopefully

52
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:24,679
Speaker 2: we can get it in. And and I as soon

53
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:27,400
Speaker 2: as you start talking about the TV, I was like, oh, yeah,

54
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:31,680
Speaker 2: now the three of us, you, me and Dre, we've

55
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:35,240
Speaker 2: had that rain delay before in Tennessee. Well we had

56
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:37,160
Speaker 2: last year in Tennessee. It wasn't even a rain delay.

57
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:40,119
Speaker 2: It was was It was cold Cleveland the COVID year.

58
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:46,280
Speaker 2: I have never in my life seen rain or hail

59
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:50,000
Speaker 2: or whatever that was ever like that.

60
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:51,919
Speaker 3: That was November too. That was weird.

61
00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:52,960
Speaker 1: That was you.

62
00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:56,040
Speaker 3: Don't expect that. No, that was brutal. Yeah, it was.

63
00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:58,440
Speaker 2: It was probably like forty five fifty million hour wins

64
00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:01,520
Speaker 2: coming off the lake. Oh and the wind is just

65
00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:03,320
Speaker 2: whipping at my back.

66
00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:04,640
Speaker 3: How did Watson do in that game?

67
00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:08,120
Speaker 1: It wasn't good on either side. It was not good.

68
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:09,560
Speaker 1: It was not good on either side.

69
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:12,080
Speaker 3: So well, hopefully it's a good year for Cleveland. Though

70
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:13,639
Speaker 3: they made the playoffs, they want a playoff game.

71
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:16,000
Speaker 2: Well this this front. This is the one thing I

72
00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:20,359
Speaker 2: followed your meteorology update. This front is kind of moving

73
00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:24,760
Speaker 2: up time wise. Oh, because this was scheduled for Friday originally,

74
00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:28,440
Speaker 2: So maybe maybe it goes through in the afternoon and

75
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:29,240
Speaker 2: it blows out of there.

76
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:31,080
Speaker 1: You never have to be nice, you never know.

77
00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:34,639
Speaker 4: I actually, as a fan in New England years ago,

78
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:37,520
Speaker 4: years ago when I lived there, I went to a

79
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:39,720
Speaker 4: Patriots preseason game where it was rain soaked.

80
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:41,080
Speaker 3: Really, you know, they do exist.

81
00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:43,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, sometimes you can get a real gully washer this

82
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:45,720
Speaker 4: time of year up in that part of the country,

83
00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:47,720
Speaker 4: and I'm hoping that's not the case for our sake.

84
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:50,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's be nice to have kind of a clean game.

85
00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:52,080
Speaker 4: But and for the fans sake, they want to watch

86
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:55,200
Speaker 4: the game on TV. Clean, no delays, no thing, Let's go.

87
00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:58,200
Speaker 2: But you know, we gotta you know, as well as

88
00:03:58,240 --> 00:03:59,880
Speaker 2: I do. We'll do what we've got to do, especially

89
00:03:59,880 --> 00:04:01,760
Speaker 2: on radio. We can, we can kind of dance and

90
00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:02,280
Speaker 2: do those things.

91
00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:05,640
Speaker 3: That Tennessee thing during Christmas Eve was weird.

92
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:06,400
Speaker 6: That was wild.

93
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:08,600
Speaker 3: That was really weird because.

94
00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:11,120
Speaker 4: If we got to the stadium and I saw they're

95
00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:13,280
Speaker 4: not ready to do an NFL game right here the

96
00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:16,480
Speaker 4: field is not ready. Things weren't set up right on

97
00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:20,080
Speaker 4: the sideline, the bench areas nothing, what are they doing?

98
00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:23,280
Speaker 4: They were blowing the field with the leaf blower or

99
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:24,040
Speaker 4: still on it.

100
00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:25,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was very strange.

101
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:26,400
Speaker 1: It was odd.

102
00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:30,120
Speaker 2: I almost I almost felt like I almost felt like

103
00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:34,160
Speaker 2: somebody missed their wake up call, yeah, or missed their

104
00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:35,960
Speaker 2: alarm and they were supposed to be there to take

105
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:38,360
Speaker 2: the tarp off and they weren't. And so they were like, mayor,

106
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:40,400
Speaker 2: bail us out and so the mayor was talking about

107
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:44,000
Speaker 2: power you know who knows. But the game got played

108
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:46,640
Speaker 2: and the Titans lost, and so that's on them.

109
00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:47,320
Speaker 3: But it was awesome.

110
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:49,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was a cold It was a cold day. Man,

111
00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:51,400
Speaker 1: that was a cold day. I'll tell you what though,

112
00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:54,360
Speaker 1: I'll take the cold. I'll take the cold over the

113
00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:56,880
Speaker 1: rain anytime, okay.

114
00:04:57,040 --> 00:04:58,960
Speaker 4: Any I mean you're on the sideline, so I have

115
00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:01,760
Speaker 4: to take your word for it. Yeah, Dray would disagree

116
00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:04,080
Speaker 4: because he's dry in the booth and he's cold in

117
00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:06,599
Speaker 4: the booth with the windows open, which he resents me

118
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:09,880
Speaker 4: for demanding that the windows be open.

119
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:13,800
Speaker 2: So for those that give you a peek behind a curtain.

120
00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:15,960
Speaker 2: I can't remember which game this was, but we were

121
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:22,320
Speaker 2: oh man, where were we? And I I can't remember.

122
00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:24,680
Speaker 2: I think it was maybe Aaron or somebody sent a

123
00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:28,000
Speaker 2: picture and you were standing up and you were.

124
00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:30,000
Speaker 3: Calling me that one.

125
00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:33,560
Speaker 2: Yes, Drey's sitting down and has a space heater in

126
00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:34,600
Speaker 2: his lap.

127
00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:38,520
Speaker 4: Yep, and he's got the window closed in front of

128
00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:41,240
Speaker 4: his I have the window open in front.

129
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:43,360
Speaker 3: Of me, as if that's going to make a big difference.

130
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:48,880
Speaker 2: I am dying laughing, and meanwhile I'm downstairs just freezing,

131
00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:49,400
Speaker 2: my my.

132
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:51,520
Speaker 1: You know what off today practice?

133
00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:55,080
Speaker 2: It was a non padded practice, so there were a

134
00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:58,159
Speaker 2: couple of team periods that actually were a heavy, heavy,

135
00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:01,360
Speaker 2: heavy focus on the run. Anything you took out of

136
00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:03,920
Speaker 2: today's practice, I think there were two noteworthy things, Mark,

137
00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:07,479
Speaker 2: I'll get your gut reaction on number one, Dimika Ranch

138
00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:10,840
Speaker 2: talked about Titus Howard gonna be out a while dealing

139
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:12,599
Speaker 2: with a hand or wrist or whatever it was.

140
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:15,279
Speaker 1: And then the fact that CJ. Stroud would be starting

141
00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:16,600
Speaker 1: on Thursday, aginst the Patriots.

142
00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:19,560
Speaker 4: Your thoughts not surprised based on what we've seen in

143
00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:22,000
Speaker 4: the last two three days. I think Stroud is getting

144
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:25,000
Speaker 4: better and better. There were some moments today where look,

145
00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:27,320
Speaker 4: he's gonna have a rookie moment or two. And I

146
00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:30,240
Speaker 4: think the offense, everybody's a rookie, Bobby Slow, it's a

147
00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:33,960
Speaker 4: rookie offensive coordinator. You have some rookies playing out there.

148
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:36,000
Speaker 4: You have a new system in place. Even if these

149
00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:38,040
Speaker 4: were all vets that have been playing together for a while,

150
00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:40,479
Speaker 4: Let's say stradd was a third year VET and you

151
00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:42,360
Speaker 4: had a new OC coming in with a new system.

152
00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:45,200
Speaker 4: You're gonna have some moments in practice that aren't as

153
00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:48,120
Speaker 4: pretty as others, right, but you still let some pretty moments.

154
00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:50,080
Speaker 4: You tell me what happened at the end, though, because

155
00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:52,680
Speaker 4: there was a moment Stroud rolled to the right sideline,

156
00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:55,039
Speaker 4: threw back across his body inside the five, and a

157
00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:57,680
Speaker 4: beautiful catch by Nico Collins. But was that a would

158
00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:00,360
Speaker 4: be sack or something because no one reacted the way

159
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:03,240
Speaker 4: I thought they should. Because that was a hell of

160
00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:06,520
Speaker 4: a catch by Nico Collins with one hand inside the five,

161
00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:08,320
Speaker 4: and I think he had to reach back for it,

162
00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:09,880
Speaker 4: not in front of him for it.

163
00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:11,640
Speaker 1: It was a heck of a catch. It was a

164
00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:16,440
Speaker 1: heck of a throw. It was rolling right and threw back.

165
00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:19,160
Speaker 3: Which it's a no, no, no, Yes.

166
00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:21,160
Speaker 2: Yes, it was an old adage of you don't throw,

167
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:23,520
Speaker 2: you don't throw late across the middle, and you definitely

168
00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:26,119
Speaker 2: don't throw across your body across the middle.

169
00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:26,960
Speaker 1: Here's the thing.

170
00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:29,120
Speaker 2: And we talked about this actually a little bit this

171
00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:31,840
Speaker 2: morning with with John McClain. We were talking about coaches

172
00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:33,760
Speaker 2: and quarterbacks best in the NFL, and we were talking

173
00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:36,400
Speaker 2: with Landry about that too. Actually's Landry brought it up.

174
00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:39,320
Speaker 2: Who's the greatest quarterback all time? Okay, it's Brady Okay,

175
00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:42,920
Speaker 2: who's number two? And he said Mahomes And I think Mahomes.

176
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:46,720
Speaker 2: I put Mahomes third for me because I think it's

177
00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:48,160
Speaker 2: just a matter of time. It's just how long is

178
00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:50,160
Speaker 2: it going to be a year, two, three before we

179
00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:52,320
Speaker 2: look at Mahomes go, yeah, he's the best there's ever been.

180
00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:56,800
Speaker 2: Mahomes is breaking all the rules for all quarterbacks watching

181
00:07:57,400 --> 00:07:59,560
Speaker 2: young kids are growing up and they're watching Mahomes and

182
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:02,640
Speaker 2: they're like, Patrick, Mahomes can do it. Well, yeah you're

183
00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:05,840
Speaker 2: not Patrick, right, but you're seeing more and more quarterbacks

184
00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:10,520
Speaker 2: that defy normal convention if you will right and can

185
00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:11,320
Speaker 2: make those throws.

186
00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:12,240
Speaker 1: I mean Mahomes.

187
00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:14,360
Speaker 2: I me Andy Reid, I don't bat an eye when

188
00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:16,800
Speaker 2: Mahomes makes that throw, and I think we'll get to

189
00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:19,520
Speaker 2: a point where CJ makes that throw will be like yeah, okay.

190
00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:21,960
Speaker 1: But he put it right in the money and Nico

191
00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:24,120
Speaker 1: made one heck of a catch.

192
00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:25,160
Speaker 6: Heck of a catch.

193
00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:27,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was beautiful, So that's good. I mean, he

194
00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:29,560
Speaker 4: was under pressure. It's kind of like Montana in the

195
00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:32,800
Speaker 4: NFC Championship game and you're running out of sideline and

196
00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:36,320
Speaker 4: you're being harassed. The pressure's coming at you, and he

197
00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:38,240
Speaker 4: would ahead and lodd one. But this time it went

198
00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:39,720
Speaker 4: over the middle instead of back of the end zone

199
00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:42,000
Speaker 4: in the catch game, and it was a great catch

200
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:44,040
Speaker 4: by Nigo. There were some other receptions as well that

201
00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:46,080
Speaker 4: I thought were good. I love throwing to the packs.

202
00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:48,880
Speaker 4: I love the East West stuff they do because it's

203
00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:49,680
Speaker 4: going to move the ball.

204
00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:51,160
Speaker 3: You're gonna bend the defense.

205
00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:53,840
Speaker 4: You're gonna get eight ten yards in certain plays, and

206
00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:56,360
Speaker 4: go ahead and matriculate the ball down the field whichever

207
00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:58,440
Speaker 4: way you need to. Because I got a feeling this

208
00:08:58,480 --> 00:08:59,960
Speaker 4: defense it's gonna keep you in some games.

209
00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:03,880
Speaker 2: This thought about Titus being out, I don't know how

210
00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:06,160
Speaker 2: long it's gonna be. I mean, if it's hand or wrist,

211
00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:08,400
Speaker 2: you know that we've seen guys play through it, depending

212
00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:10,760
Speaker 2: on what it is we're seeing guys. He said a while, Yeah,

213
00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:12,120
Speaker 2: he said a while. I don't know what that see.

214
00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:14,679
Speaker 4: I have not been able to get the Demico translator out.

215
00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:17,200
Speaker 4: And Robers said that, like with O'Brien, I knew that

216
00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:18,960
Speaker 4: he's going to miss some time.

217
00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:19,920
Speaker 3: I knew what that meant.

218
00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:20,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, right right.

219
00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:23,840
Speaker 4: If he says it's not life threatening, that means he's

220
00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:28,120
Speaker 4: probably not missing much, right. So I don't know Demico's

221
00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:31,440
Speaker 4: way of putting things yet, but I'm monitoring so I

222
00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:33,880
Speaker 4: understand it so I can get out the Demico translator

223
00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:34,720
Speaker 4: when I really need it.

224
00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:36,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm with you, that's a good way of putting it,

225
00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:39,560
Speaker 2: the Demico translator. I hope it's not too too long.

226
00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:42,360
Speaker 2: I actually happen to see him on Saturday night after

227
00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:45,200
Speaker 2: the night practice, smiling, picking up some food, so you know,

228
00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:47,120
Speaker 2: he seemed to be in pretty good spirits. So hopefully

229
00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:51,000
Speaker 2: everything will be good at that point with Titus, because

230
00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:52,200
Speaker 2: it's a.

231
00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:53,480
Speaker 1: Little slim with the offensive line.

232
00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:58,320
Speaker 2: Man, wow, I mean with no Charlie heck, and you know,

233
00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:00,720
Speaker 2: now Titus not in practice, don't know when you're going

234
00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:05,000
Speaker 2: to get him back. You know it's you lost DJ

235
00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:07,199
Speaker 2: Skaife the other day, right, and you might not want

236
00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:08,959
Speaker 2: to got Quaesenberry already, right, You.

237
00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:11,600
Speaker 4: Might not want to start Shaq Mason. Maybe you don't

238
00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:13,839
Speaker 4: want to see Titus. I don't know how they're feeling

239
00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:16,840
Speaker 4: about things. Whatever group they have out there to begin

240
00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:19,520
Speaker 4: might be in there for a while, right, And then

241
00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:21,640
Speaker 4: you got to finish out the game. That's the thing

242
00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:24,400
Speaker 4: about these preseason games. If you want to protect certain guys,

243
00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:26,640
Speaker 4: other guys have to play a lot. Now that's good

244
00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:28,880
Speaker 4: for them because they get to show their stuff, but

245
00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:30,480
Speaker 4: you need them to stay healthy too.

246
00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:32,160
Speaker 3: The last thing you can afford.

247
00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:35,839
Speaker 4: Is massive, well massive, massive injuries on the offensive line.

248
00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:38,000
Speaker 4: But of course, you know it goes without saying. I

249
00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:41,400
Speaker 4: always say in training camp. Not always, but sometimes you

250
00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:44,120
Speaker 4: get certain position groups that are just bit and others

251
00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:47,480
Speaker 4: stay remarkably healthy. Tight end here is something that's been

252
00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:49,000
Speaker 4: bitten by the injury bug this year.

253
00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:51,920
Speaker 3: No line a little bit. Let's not go further with.

254
00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:57,080
Speaker 2: That, tight ends. Brevan's been out tea Equatoriana has been

255
00:10:57,120 --> 00:10:59,720
Speaker 2: on pup. Jordan Murray was out of practice today.

256
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:00,760
Speaker 3: That's bad.

257
00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:04,199
Speaker 1: He wants to play. I know Dalton Schultz was out,

258
00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:05,360
Speaker 1: but now he's back. That's good.

259
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:08,640
Speaker 2: And then you got Mason, Shrek, Eric Thomlinson, Andrew Beck

260
00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:10,199
Speaker 2: depending on how you classify him.

261
00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:12,840
Speaker 3: That's all right. Shrek's gonna play a ton on Thursday.

262
00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:15,040
Speaker 2: I think I think I think Shrek could have four

263
00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:17,120
Speaker 2: five catches. I don't know, Shrek could be your leading

264
00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:18,760
Speaker 2: receiver on Thursday night.

265
00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:19,640
Speaker 3: That's good.

266
00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:21,800
Speaker 4: I love what Landry put out there for the fantasy

267
00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:26,600
Speaker 4: draft for Sason, Texas Fantasy Draft. It's funny because yeah,

268
00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:29,160
Speaker 4: but I like that stuff because that's what we're looking at.

269
00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:31,960
Speaker 4: The three games to play here, and you mentioned Schultz.

270
00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:34,440
Speaker 4: I don't know if I need to see Schultz on Thursday. Johnny,

271
00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:36,400
Speaker 4: I don't think. I don't think this is fine. Not

272
00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:38,680
Speaker 4: the game action in these next three.

273
00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:40,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm with you on that. But we will see

274
00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:43,439
Speaker 2: the general. John McClain, we caught up with him. It's

Speaker 4: night with Kevin Coogler and Drew Tordy.

292
00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:31,079
Speaker 6: Can't wait to see Indy, one of my all time

293
00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:34,840
Speaker 6: favorite people. When I started covering the Texans in five,

294
00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:38,000
Speaker 6: I didn't want to cover you guys, and because you're

295
00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:41,320
Speaker 6: I knew you're gonna be bad. I covered enough bad football.

296
00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:44,120
Speaker 6: Plus I had the greatest job in the NFL for

297
00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:46,280
Speaker 6: fight years. You did it. I went anywhere I wanted,

298
00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:48,439
Speaker 6: wrote as much, so I wanted and spent what I wanted,

299
00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:53,040
Speaker 6: and never forget they called me in and saying, well,

300
00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:57,280
Speaker 6: Dan Cunningham sports thetter uh. He was moving for promotion.

301
00:12:57,520 --> 00:13:01,439
Speaker 6: And there was when Fred Fower was moving up. Carlton Thompson,

302
00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:03,719
Speaker 6: who was the beat guy the first three years. He

303
00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:06,000
Speaker 6: was going to be assistant sports center. He wanted to

304
00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:08,680
Speaker 6: move inside, so asked me, could you do it one

305
00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:11,880
Speaker 6: season then you can go back on the NFL. And

306
00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:15,880
Speaker 6: I said, uh, yeah, they'll be better this season and

307
00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:19,839
Speaker 6: two and fourteen and uh. And then they said, well,

308
00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:21,920
Speaker 6: you're gonna have to keep covering the Texans because we're

309
00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:24,520
Speaker 6: not going to be spending the money like we did before.

310
00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:31,400
Speaker 6: So I did and uh. And I remember how exciting

311
00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:33,360
Speaker 6: it was the first year. I don't know if there'll

312
00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:36,840
Speaker 6: ever be anything to equal that excitement of the first

313
00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:41,520
Speaker 6: training camp and Gary Kubiaks was exciting to him coming home,

314
00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:44,679
Speaker 6: but this one with Dimiko considering the team has been

315
00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:47,960
Speaker 6: bad for three years in a row and he continues

316
00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:51,120
Speaker 6: to build with c J. Stroud and and a lot

317
00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:54,040
Speaker 6: of these young players like Tagdell, who's gonna you know,

318
00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:57,079
Speaker 6: he's gonna be a crowd favorite, fans of loving media

319
00:13:57,320 --> 00:13:59,720
Speaker 6: likes him. I'm doing a column on him for tomorrow

320
00:13:59,800 --> 00:14:02,480
Speaker 6: and Sports Radio six ' ten dot com. I also

321
00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:06,120
Speaker 6: talked to Dana Holgorn about him and what he expects

322
00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:11,080
Speaker 6: from him, and Danas said some great, interesting things which

323
00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:14,560
Speaker 6: you'll have to read to know, but you can imagine

324
00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:18,760
Speaker 6: what he said. But the excitement of CJ separating himself

325
00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:20,600
Speaker 6: last week, We've known all along he's going to be

326
00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:24,680
Speaker 6: the starter. I thought Davis would start the first preseason game,

327
00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:26,840
Speaker 6: but it looks like now with him getting all the

328
00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:29,720
Speaker 6: reps with the first team, that he will. And we

329
00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:33,080
Speaker 6: asked Miko about it afterward and he'll, oh, he did.

330
00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:39,120
Speaker 6: And so I still don't think he'll announce him as

331
00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:41,680
Speaker 6: the starter till they see him. They se him in

332
00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:45,479
Speaker 6: a joint practices next week, they see him against the Patriots,

333
00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:47,400
Speaker 6: and I kind of like the way they're doing it

334
00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:51,600
Speaker 6: instead of, you know, Bryce Youwn being anointed ahead of

335
00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:53,560
Speaker 6: the time. I don't know if it makes any difference,

336
00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:56,880
Speaker 6: but it's certainly a lot of people who suspense has

337
00:14:57,000 --> 00:14:59,280
Speaker 6: been good for a lot of people, and I can't

338
00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:03,720
Speaker 6: tell them. I don't show it outwardly like you guys

339
00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:06,280
Speaker 6: do on the show about how fired up you are

340
00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:09,520
Speaker 6: about to start a preseason, but I am too, and

341
00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:14,840
Speaker 6: the reason is it's one one step closer to regular season.

342
00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:18,160
Speaker 4: See, I'm in the oppressed minority of people who absolutely

343
00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:20,200
Speaker 4: love the pre I absolutely love the preseason.

344
00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:22,600
Speaker 6: I always you were born too late. You should have

345
00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:24,400
Speaker 6: been there when there were six exhibitions.

346
00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:27,320
Speaker 3: That's a lot, though. It's really when you said you

347
00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:27,880
Speaker 3: love it.

348
00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:29,600
Speaker 7: I mean.

349
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:31,880
Speaker 3: I don't, and.

350
00:15:33,520 --> 00:15:35,920
Speaker 1: Is just that much higher, John, you know that I don't.

351
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:38,120
Speaker 6: I don't want to excuse me, John, be a dinosaur,

352
00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:40,400
Speaker 6: but I am. But if you think about the way

353
00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:42,480
Speaker 6: it used to be when there were six games they

354
00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:46,800
Speaker 6: built up. The last preseason games against Dallas were the

355
00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:49,440
Speaker 6: starters played three quarters because they were getting them ready

356
00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:53,240
Speaker 6: for the next week. And that last game against the Cowboys,

357
00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:56,440
Speaker 6: you talk about the intensity of a regular season game,

358
00:15:56,920 --> 00:15:59,760
Speaker 6: they had it and it was so much fun. I

359
00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:03,520
Speaker 6: liked the six six exhibition games as we call them

360
00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:05,840
Speaker 6: back then, but I like the way they built up

361
00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:08,760
Speaker 6: with the starters one quarter, two quarter, three quarters and

362
00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:09,320
Speaker 6: then their rage.

363
00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:11,720
Speaker 4: I want to know what the analytics are on injuries

364
00:16:12,040 --> 00:16:15,400
Speaker 4: then versus now. I know the concussions are down. They

365
00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:18,600
Speaker 4: tracked that, and I'm sure they track everything. They tracked

366
00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:22,040
Speaker 4: that very carefully. But we had Kevin bestin on last week.

367
00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:24,240
Speaker 4: He was visiting the very first head athletic trainer in

368
00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:28,040
Speaker 4: Texans history and he's now recently with the Lions, and

369
00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:30,040
Speaker 4: he said you know, the funny thing.

370
00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:33,440
Speaker 3: And he was with Washington, Joe.

371
00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:36,280
Speaker 6: Gibbs and Charlie. Charlie casually.

372
00:16:37,520 --> 00:16:40,120
Speaker 4: Hey see, I had Kevin bestein with me and Washington.

373
00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:43,080
Speaker 4: See it was awesome. They athletic trainer. I brought him

374
00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:46,920
Speaker 4: over here with the Texans anyway. So he said, there

375
00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:49,760
Speaker 4: are just as many injuries now, And I think he's

376
00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:53,040
Speaker 4: just going anecdotal info here, just as many injuries now

377
00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:56,920
Speaker 4: with all this cut down of two days and OTA's

378
00:16:57,000 --> 00:16:59,080
Speaker 4: being the way they are and everything else, and fewer

379
00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:02,440
Speaker 4: preseason games. But I know they're down on concussions and

380
00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:03,560
Speaker 4: probably a few other things.

381
00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:06,320
Speaker 6: Every coaching player will tell you back when they went

382
00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:09,639
Speaker 6: to two hour practices full contact from the first day

383
00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:12,280
Speaker 6: of camp to toughen them up and get them in shape,

384
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:17,480
Speaker 6: and they watched the game. There's injuries are just about

385
00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:20,440
Speaker 6: the same. They get more tension now because you have

386
00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:23,800
Speaker 6: social media and you have you know, every team's got

387
00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:27,639
Speaker 6: a broadcast and a website like you guys do, and

388
00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:31,080
Speaker 6: you do a tremendous job of getting the information out,

389
00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:34,399
Speaker 6: and so that's the way it is. They're more publicized.

390
00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:38,760
Speaker 6: But every coach will tell you players need to hit

391
00:17:38,880 --> 00:17:41,399
Speaker 6: more they need to have longer practices, they need to

392
00:17:41,480 --> 00:17:44,040
Speaker 6: have more practices. But it's the way of the world.

393
00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:47,320
Speaker 6: Bill Belichick talked about that in his first news conference.

394
00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:50,800
Speaker 6: His first year was seventy five with Ted, brought Marga

395
00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:53,800
Speaker 6: Broda and the Colts as an assistant and worked his

396
00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:57,280
Speaker 6: way up special teams and but he said, you got

397
00:17:57,400 --> 00:18:02,120
Speaker 6: to go with what the rule are. And and there

398
00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:05,440
Speaker 6: do seem to be more pull muscles more pull, whether

399
00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:09,520
Speaker 6: it's growing am strings, uh, anything, and there seemed to

400
00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:10,120
Speaker 6: be more.

401
00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:12,600
Speaker 2: What's interesting is I was trying to explain this to

402
00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:15,119
Speaker 2: my daughter yesterday. My daughter doesn't really know anything about football.

403
00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:16,760
Speaker 2: We were talking about I don't know.

404
00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:17,200
Speaker 6: We got on it.

405
00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:19,480
Speaker 2: We got on a preseason and I said, well, you

406
00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:20,960
Speaker 2: know it's changed. I said, you know, back in mine

407
00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:22,200
Speaker 2: we used to do two days and all that. And

408
00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:26,440
Speaker 2: she kind of stops. She goes, well, shouldn't you practice

409
00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:29,639
Speaker 2: football more so you're ready to play in the regular season?

410
00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:33,040
Speaker 1: And I was like yeah, And then I had to

411
00:18:33,080 --> 00:18:35,359
Speaker 1: try and explain the CBA and that just didn't happen.

412
00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:37,959
Speaker 1: That just didn't happen at all. Generally, you kind got

413
00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:38,280
Speaker 1: one to say.

414
00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:42,399
Speaker 6: Henry tod Tall Tall was last week first day, Nick Saban.

415
00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:45,159
Speaker 6: They hit every day. Yeah, they hit every day, and

416
00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:48,080
Speaker 6: I guess all the colleges go full contact because they

417
00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:49,480
Speaker 6: don't have preseason games.

418
00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:51,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, they have to. It's funny.

419
00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:55,479
Speaker 4: They do these scrimmages once a week. They probably probably

420
00:18:55,560 --> 00:18:58,919
Speaker 4: do at least two hard hitting scrimmages, and those are

421
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:02,000
Speaker 4: for real. I remember at my Miami seeing those. That

422
00:19:02,280 --> 00:19:05,760
Speaker 4: was fun stuff to watch, seeing guys like Sean Taylor

423
00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:08,960
Speaker 4: and Vince will Fork go at it. Not against each

424
00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:10,480
Speaker 4: other because they were both on that side of the ball,

425
00:19:10,520 --> 00:19:11,040
Speaker 4: but it was fun.

426
00:19:11,280 --> 00:19:13,400
Speaker 2: A and m was in the in the stadium last

427
00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:16,760
Speaker 2: night having some sort of scrimmage. So that's you know,

428
00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:21,560
Speaker 2: it's it's interesting because it's such a long period. But

429
00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:23,840
Speaker 2: I think the few first couple of weeks, yeah, a

430
00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:26,840
Speaker 2: little shaky. In college, I feel like the NFL is product.

431
00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:29,719
Speaker 2: The first two three weeks can be kind of all

432
00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:31,800
Speaker 2: over the place because guys are playing together for the

433
00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:34,480
Speaker 2: first time. You know, quarterbacks are throwing the receivers maybe

434
00:19:34,520 --> 00:19:36,480
Speaker 2: that have sat out. Offensive linemen are kind of getting

435
00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:36,880
Speaker 2: their groove.

436
00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:38,359
Speaker 3: But it's still the NFL football.

437
00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:40,480
Speaker 2: It's so fantastic, so you don't care if it's a

438
00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:42,320
Speaker 2: nine to seven game. You just you just want to

439
00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:44,320
Speaker 2: watch it. General, you're talking about the quarterbacks a little bit.

440
00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:47,159
Speaker 2: It's not dance around it. Thursday night at New England,

441
00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:50,200
Speaker 2: when the first offense comes out, do you think it's CJ?

442
00:19:50,359 --> 00:19:51,520
Speaker 1: Do you think they go with Davis? How do you

443
00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:53,000
Speaker 1: think this is handled over the next ten days?

444
00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:55,960
Speaker 4: Now before you answer that, it's funny because Nick Cassio

445
00:19:56,119 --> 00:19:58,200
Speaker 4: was on the Morning show last week and they asked

446
00:19:58,280 --> 00:20:01,440
Speaker 4: him about the quarterback announcement, starting quarterback, how it would

447
00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:02,040
Speaker 4: be revealed.

448
00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:03,200
Speaker 3: Here's what Nick had to say.

449
00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:05,320
Speaker 1: I think it would probably be pretty organic.

450
00:20:05,480 --> 00:20:07,720
Speaker 8: I mean whether or not we actually come out, and

451
00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:10,119
Speaker 8: I would say I'd be surprised if we like come

452
00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:12,000
Speaker 8: out and you know a sign that says you know,

453
00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:14,239
Speaker 8: so and so is gonna start, you know, week one.

454
00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:16,600
Speaker 8: I think Demko talked about it. We'll have a quarterback

455
00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:18,800
Speaker 8: under center against Baltimore, and I think it will have

456
00:20:18,840 --> 00:20:21,359
Speaker 8: an idea. I don't think they'll big you know that.

457
00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:22,320
Speaker 1: Sounds like a smoke screen.

458
00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:25,159
Speaker 8: Will will only be some uh you know, red carpet

459
00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:28,600
Speaker 8: balloon announcement of here we go. So we'll just keep

460
00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:30,800
Speaker 8: kind of working day to day you have the players

461
00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:32,359
Speaker 8: the opportunity to go out there, work hard, have a

462
00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:35,120
Speaker 8: good attitude, compete, and then you know, when we play Baltimore,

463
00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:37,000
Speaker 8: we'll have somebody under center, hopefully that's ready to go.

464
00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:41,280
Speaker 3: Red carpet balloon announcement. I love that.

465
00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:41,560
Speaker 9: Well.

466
00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:43,760
Speaker 6: He also to give away some of their strategy by

467
00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:46,080
Speaker 6: saying we'll have a quarterback under center. That means they're

468
00:20:46,080 --> 00:20:49,879
Speaker 6: going to take snaps under center, giving away strategy.

469
00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:52,560
Speaker 3: I'll tell you they put two quarterbacks on the field,

470
00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:54,159
Speaker 3: so you know, yeah, never know.

471
00:20:54,560 --> 00:20:59,840
Speaker 6: If if if mil I mean sorry, if Stroud's taking

472
00:20:59,880 --> 00:21:03,440
Speaker 6: of the first team strack snaps again is againning not

473
00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:05,760
Speaker 6: start in that game. How stupid would that be. They

474
00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:08,360
Speaker 6: need to see him with as many starters as possible.

475
00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:11,960
Speaker 6: We're not going for safety purpose, Jeremy tonsol And and

476
00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:16,520
Speaker 6: Shaq Mason and Titus Howard in the in the starting lineup,

477
00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:19,880
Speaker 6: I don't think. And uh, they got a lot there.

478
00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:22,920
Speaker 6: You know, we guy needs to play a lot of scrugs.

479
00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:25,480
Speaker 6: He needs playing every game now that he's a rookie

480
00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:30,399
Speaker 6: starter with a rookie quarterback. But now that CJ is

481
00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:32,480
Speaker 6: getting all the snaps with the first team, that's clear

482
00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:33,080
Speaker 6: to everybody.

483
00:21:33,359 --> 00:21:37,520
Speaker 4: Well, it's funny you mentioned that because if Mason, Laramie,

484
00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:40,240
Speaker 4: whoever else, if they're all gonna sit out, do you

485
00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:44,639
Speaker 4: want to see Stroud but behind line number two in practice?

486
00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:46,240
Speaker 4: So he gets used to playing with those guys, but

487
00:21:46,280 --> 00:21:47,960
Speaker 4: he's played plenty with those guys. I was thinking, do

488
00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:49,800
Speaker 4: they pull the ropid dope and have Mills take the

489
00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:50,720
Speaker 4: first team reps today?

490
00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:52,560
Speaker 3: Knowing that Laramie and company aren't playing.

491
00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:54,240
Speaker 2: Well, they should just try. They should troll everybody. Just

492
00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:56,280
Speaker 2: put Mills an strout on the field at the same time.

493
00:21:57,119 --> 00:21:57,880
Speaker 6: Oh too bad.

494
00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:02,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'll tell you my Pep Hamilton story when I

495
00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:05,120
Speaker 2: I didn't know, I had no idea, and not seeing

496
00:22:05,119 --> 00:22:07,760
Speaker 2: practiced all that week, see nothing. When we went to Dallas,

497
00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:08,920
Speaker 2: I was starting, I was on the field and I

498
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:10,639
Speaker 2: was talking to him, and I happened to watch that

499
00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:13,560
Speaker 2: week Montana State use a two quarterback system, and I

500
00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:15,639
Speaker 2: was like, man, it would be cool two quarterbacks, and

501
00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:17,680
Speaker 2: then the second series they both go in the field together,

502
00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:20,000
Speaker 2: and I'm like, Pep, I didn't know anything. Man, I

503
00:22:20,119 --> 00:22:22,000
Speaker 2: had no idea you were doing this. Because when I

504
00:22:22,040 --> 00:22:23,800
Speaker 2: was telling him the story, he kind of looked at me.

505
00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:26,159
Speaker 2: With this look, and I was like, he's gonna do this?

506
00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:26,639
Speaker 8: Is he?

507
00:22:27,119 --> 00:22:27,280
Speaker 3: Oh?

508
00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:28,040
Speaker 7: And he did?

509
00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:28,399
Speaker 6: He did.

510
00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:30,000
Speaker 1: It was the day of Dallas that he put.

511
00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:30,480
Speaker 3: Two on the field.

512
00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:33,040
Speaker 2: So I was just like, I just I didn't know anything.

513
00:22:33,080 --> 00:22:35,280
Speaker 2: I wasn't spying, I had no drones. I didn't want

514
00:22:35,320 --> 00:22:38,639
Speaker 2: him to think I knew that. But you're right, just

515
00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:39,720
Speaker 2: wanted general.

516
00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:43,280
Speaker 4: So it's a preseason game, but we're gonna see arguably

517
00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:45,280
Speaker 4: the greatest head coach in NFL.

518
00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:49,480
Speaker 3: History, Brian No, not him, he was a good head coach.

519
00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:50,280
Speaker 3: Excuse me.

520
00:22:50,359 --> 00:22:52,920
Speaker 6: I ran a paying yesterday. I sent out and tweet

521
00:22:53,040 --> 00:22:55,160
Speaker 6: Mike Rease, Oh I saw this. He does a great

522
00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:58,320
Speaker 6: job of covering the Patriots for ESPN. Talked about the

523
00:22:58,440 --> 00:23:01,520
Speaker 6: great ovation. I couldn't run the whole thing, which was

524
00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:04,760
Speaker 6: Bill talking about the feelings mutual. But when he came out,

525
00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:09,000
Speaker 6: they gave him this thundering ovation. And I think it's because,

526
00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:12,000
Speaker 6: you know, when he was there with Brady, they were

527
00:23:12,040 --> 00:23:15,879
Speaker 6: really good. And then now he'll be tested more, you know,

528
00:23:15,920 --> 00:23:19,280
Speaker 6: because he had Watson here. Now he's got mac Jones.

529
00:23:19,359 --> 00:23:22,280
Speaker 6: But the fans do love him and it was mutual,

530
00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:24,960
Speaker 6: and he had some good quotes about him. And I'm

531
00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:26,920
Speaker 6: eager Bill. I'm guessing he'll be up in the press

532
00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:29,720
Speaker 6: box like you. He was both. When he was in

533
00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:32,359
Speaker 6: New England, they had him on the sideline with got

534
00:23:32,520 --> 00:23:35,960
Speaker 6: that famous argument with Brady, but they in up two

535
00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:38,960
Speaker 6: of the Football Lives with Belichick. He was on the

536
00:23:39,440 --> 00:23:42,399
Speaker 6: constantly on the headphones, Billy, Billy, because he was up

537
00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:45,040
Speaker 6: in the booths. Billy, we gotta do this, Billy, we

538
00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:47,120
Speaker 6: got to do that. I still love it to way.

539
00:23:47,119 --> 00:23:50,960
Speaker 6: Everybody up here and every former player was there causing Billy.

540
00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:53,359
Speaker 4: Is there no doubt in your mind that Belichick is

541
00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:56,399
Speaker 4: the greatest coach ever? Or is there an argument to

542
00:23:56,440 --> 00:23:58,440
Speaker 4: be made? And if he is, who's second?

543
00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:02,120
Speaker 6: Three years ago I would have had yes, without a doubt.

544
00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:06,440
Speaker 6: But now that Brady's gone and every if you looked

545
00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:09,439
Speaker 6: at the greatest coaches, they all had great quarterbacks except

546
00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:12,560
Speaker 6: Joe Gibbs. Joe Gibbs won three Super Bowls and went

547
00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:16,879
Speaker 6: to another one with coaches that you've never I mean quarterbacks,

548
00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:18,920
Speaker 6: you never mentioned in the same sentence as Hall of Fame.

549
00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:21,600
Speaker 6: But does anybody ever say Joe Gibbs is the greatest.

550
00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:24,840
Speaker 6: Lombardi had star Bill Wallace had two.

551
00:24:24,800 --> 00:24:29,080
Speaker 3: Great ones in he has the all time win, Markla.

552
00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:32,080
Speaker 6: Has h he had Dan Marino, and he had Bob Greasy.

553
00:24:32,080 --> 00:24:33,159
Speaker 6: He's got two, but.

554
00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:35,800
Speaker 3: Grease he got hurt during the seventy two when.

555
00:24:35,840 --> 00:24:39,400
Speaker 6: Darryl Morrole he was MVP, and which says a lot.

556
00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:44,399
Speaker 6: And Belichick, if he continues to lose without Brady, I mean,

557
00:24:44,520 --> 00:24:47,160
Speaker 6: his legacy is set. But I don't know. I think

558
00:24:47,280 --> 00:24:50,600
Speaker 6: most people would say Lombardi. You know, Belichick's names not

559
00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:54,480
Speaker 6: on awards and trophies and everything, it's Lombardi. But he

560
00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:57,040
Speaker 6: had great players, a lot of Hall of Fame players.

561
00:24:57,160 --> 00:24:58,760
Speaker 2: Okay, I'm gonna hit you with one, and sometimes I

562
00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:02,840
Speaker 2: think received biased, But when you're thinking about somebody that's

563
00:25:02,840 --> 00:25:05,200
Speaker 2: still coaching, you don't really think about one. But it

564
00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:08,399
Speaker 2: popped up on my YouTube yesterday and it was actually

565
00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:11,400
Speaker 2: Jason Kelsey who said it, and I went, who who

566
00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:13,479
Speaker 2: is the only coach in the history of the NFL

567
00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:18,240
Speaker 2: that coached in four straight championship games for two teams

568
00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:23,520
Speaker 2: two organizations? Because he's got two Super Bowls? And if

569
00:25:23,520 --> 00:25:25,760
Speaker 2: he gets a third, why do we not through Andy Reid?

570
00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:27,280
Speaker 2: Does he got Patrick Mahomes?

571
00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:27,600
Speaker 8: Yeah?

572
00:25:31,960 --> 00:25:35,720
Speaker 4: Where does Donovan McNabb rank among all time greatest quarterbacks.

573
00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:37,720
Speaker 6: Not that hot with Patrick Mains.

574
00:25:37,640 --> 00:25:40,560
Speaker 4: And he went to five NFC Championship games with McNabb

575
00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:43,280
Speaker 4: and one Super Bowl, lost the Super Bowl to New England.

576
00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:46,400
Speaker 4: Now and he was winning with Alex Smith in Kansas City,

577
00:25:46,480 --> 00:25:48,720
Speaker 4: resurrected that franchise immediately.

578
00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:51,560
Speaker 6: Nobody was talking about him in those terms till he got.

579
00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:53,879
Speaker 4: They should have been, though. I was always defending him

580
00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:56,159
Speaker 4: because I thought, look, the guy hasn't won a championship yet.

581
00:25:56,240 --> 00:25:59,040
Speaker 3: At the time, he hadn't, but he's won a ton

582
00:25:59,160 --> 00:25:59,639
Speaker 3: of games.

583
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:02,120
Speaker 6: He s could get ripped constantly about his clock.

584
00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:03,960
Speaker 2: But if we can change, if we can change the

585
00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:06,960
Speaker 2: narrative on Belichick without Brady, then we can change the

586
00:26:07,320 --> 00:26:09,000
Speaker 2: narrative about Reid with Mahomes.

587
00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:10,960
Speaker 3: I think I think read what it's all said and done,

588
00:26:11,040 --> 00:26:12,240
Speaker 3: because I read it.

589
00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:17,480
Speaker 4: If he had never found Mahomes or they never drafted him, whatever,

590
00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:20,240
Speaker 4: and he's still going to the playoffs but not winning championships,

591
00:26:20,359 --> 00:26:22,680
Speaker 4: is he still coaching right now or is Mahomes just

592
00:26:22,800 --> 00:26:23,840
Speaker 4: completely Oh.

593
00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:25,280
Speaker 3: Thank you to energizing him.

594
00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:27,719
Speaker 6: Those guys all want to coach, I mean coaches retire

595
00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:31,800
Speaker 6: on their own, Yeah, they don't. They get wired wired.

596
00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:34,360
Speaker 6: They don't want to, they don't want to retire.

597
00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:35,800
Speaker 2: And he read it will be top three, no doubt.

598
00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:38,920
Speaker 2: When he's done. I think they get two more Patrick.

599
00:26:39,320 --> 00:26:42,840
Speaker 2: It's gonna give read four five in total, one as assistant. Yeah,

600
00:26:42,840 --> 00:26:45,080
Speaker 2: and he's gonna be in that mix top three mix,

601
00:26:45,119 --> 00:26:47,920
Speaker 2: there's no question. I think in my mind, I think

602
00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:50,199
Speaker 2: he should be up there. And well, Landry asked us

603
00:26:50,320 --> 00:26:52,920
Speaker 2: later about Patrick Mahomes. I think Patrick's gonna be the

604
00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:55,360
Speaker 2: best quarterback of all time, very very soon. If he's

605
00:26:55,520 --> 00:26:59,919
Speaker 2: not already. Give him some time a year, that's all.

606
00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:02,040
Speaker 2: That's all it might take. Now, a guy that's had

607
00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:04,160
Speaker 2: plenty of years in this league is Jerry Hughes.

608
00:27:04,520 --> 00:27:05,160
Speaker 6: Cut up with Drew.

609
00:27:05,280 --> 00:27:08,000
Speaker 2: That's next right here at Texans All Access. What's happened everybody?

610
00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:10,240
Speaker 2: Walking back to this Monday edition of Texans All Access.

616
00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:30,159
Speaker 2: and then I believe postgame under Sean Pendergast will do it.

621
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:42,720

622
00:27:42,760 --> 00:27:43,320

Speaker 1: That's Jerry Hughes. He got some radio reps with our man,

624
00:27:46,800 --> 00:27:47,320
Speaker 1: Drew Doherty.

625
00:27:47,359 --> 00:27:49,760
Speaker 7: Drew take it away if it's vent. Jerry Hughes joins

626
00:27:49,840 --> 00:27:52,520
Speaker 7: us now and Jerry with you. The work has never done.

627
00:27:52,920 --> 00:27:57,159
Speaker 7: Family here at the Saturday night practice. But before you

628
00:27:57,480 --> 00:27:59,280
Speaker 7: meet up with them, like most of your teammates are doing,

629
00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:01,080
Speaker 7: we see you on the side if you're working on

630
00:28:01,160 --> 00:28:03,800
Speaker 7: some stuff with Austin Declus. Why is the work never over?

631
00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:04,320
Speaker 6: Oh man?

632
00:28:04,480 --> 00:28:06,639
Speaker 10: You know, as a professional athlete, you got to always

633
00:28:06,840 --> 00:28:09,120
Speaker 10: perfect your craft. We got such a small window here

634
00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:11,359
Speaker 10: at training camp where we got the pads on. We

635
00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:15,480
Speaker 10: can go full speed, we can simulate game like drills, movement.

636
00:28:15,520 --> 00:28:17,240
Speaker 10: So I figured, you know, this is something that Austin

637
00:28:17,240 --> 00:28:19,400
Speaker 10: and I've been doing ever since this rookie year. We'd

638
00:28:19,440 --> 00:28:22,080
Speaker 10: like to just do a little bit extra after practice

639
00:28:22,119 --> 00:28:25,679
Speaker 10: and it just sharpens us up. Iron Sharpmans. Iron has

640
00:28:25,760 --> 00:28:29,080
Speaker 10: been our model this whole offseason, and that's all we're

641
00:28:29,119 --> 00:28:30,560
Speaker 10: trying to do is just find that little and so

642
00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:31,880
Speaker 10: we can get better.

643
00:28:32,080 --> 00:28:33,680
Speaker 7: And that's nothing new for you. Did When did you

644
00:28:33,760 --> 00:28:35,920
Speaker 7: start doing that? Was it in college? High school? Was

645
00:28:35,960 --> 00:28:37,240
Speaker 7: it a few years into the league. When did that

646
00:28:37,280 --> 00:28:37,560
Speaker 7: all begin?

647
00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:40,120
Speaker 10: It started back in college, just because coming into college,

648
00:28:40,160 --> 00:28:42,400
Speaker 10: I was a running back trying to play defensive end,

649
00:28:42,440 --> 00:28:44,040
Speaker 10: so I was trying to figure out how to gain

650
00:28:44,120 --> 00:28:45,960
Speaker 10: weight and then at the same time going against guys

651
00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:48,760
Speaker 10: that are three fifty three thirty, so I needed all

652
00:28:48,800 --> 00:28:51,200
Speaker 10: the extra reps I could get just to figure out

653
00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:52,120
Speaker 10: what I'm doing out there.

654
00:28:52,320 --> 00:28:54,560
Speaker 7: What's the optimism level like right now? You were here

655
00:28:54,600 --> 00:28:55,800
Speaker 7: a year ago, what's it like right now?

656
00:28:55,960 --> 00:28:58,200
Speaker 10: Oh Man sky Hoigh. It's a brand new team. We

657
00:28:58,320 --> 00:29:00,920
Speaker 10: got new leadership, great Leadershi, that's leading us in the

658
00:29:01,160 --> 00:29:03,120
Speaker 10: right direction. And as a young team with a lot

659
00:29:03,160 --> 00:29:05,000
Speaker 10: of energy, you know, a lot of talent, that's what

660
00:29:05,120 --> 00:29:07,040
Speaker 10: we need. And we can just see all of the

661
00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:10,920
Speaker 10: young players really gravitating towards that, learning the game of football,

662
00:29:11,240 --> 00:29:13,800
Speaker 10: and it's just amazing. Just to watch them unlock all

663
00:29:13,840 --> 00:29:16,240
Speaker 10: of their potential at an early age. Just something that's

664
00:29:16,480 --> 00:29:20,080
Speaker 10: very rare that you're able to see young guys playing

665
00:29:20,160 --> 00:29:22,680
Speaker 10: faster as the training camp goes on. They're picking up

666
00:29:22,720 --> 00:29:25,640
Speaker 10: our installs, they're learning it on one day, coming back

667
00:29:25,680 --> 00:29:27,920
Speaker 10: out and being able to practice it at a full speed.

668
00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:30,800
Speaker 10: And that's really you know, NFL calendar, that's that material.

669
00:29:30,840 --> 00:29:32,680
Speaker 10: When you have a young team that can do that,

670
00:29:32,760 --> 00:29:34,320
Speaker 10: it's just gonna make the season a lot of fun.

671
00:29:34,360 --> 00:29:34,880
Speaker 4: And we're running.

672
00:29:35,080 --> 00:29:37,040
Speaker 10: We're just excited to really just pin our ears back

673
00:29:37,080 --> 00:29:38,120
Speaker 10: and play Texans ball.

674
00:29:38,520 --> 00:29:40,440
Speaker 7: Tell me what this week is like for you as

675
00:29:40,520 --> 00:29:42,720
Speaker 7: a veteran. The day off on Sunday, you have a

676
00:29:42,800 --> 00:29:44,600
Speaker 7: couple of days, then it's a travel day for a

677
00:29:44,640 --> 00:29:47,320
Speaker 7: preseason game. Don't know how much you'll play, But what's

678
00:29:47,360 --> 00:29:48,840
Speaker 7: it like when you get through those sort of dog

679
00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:50,400
Speaker 7: days of the training camp.

680
00:29:50,720 --> 00:29:52,719
Speaker 10: Man, it's tough. I'm not gonna lie. I mean one day,

681
00:29:52,800 --> 00:29:55,320
Speaker 10: the heat's always on your back. It's wearing you down

682
00:29:55,400 --> 00:29:58,360
Speaker 10: mentally and physically. At the same time, you're you're constantly

683
00:29:58,440 --> 00:30:00,360
Speaker 10: hitting the same guy and over and over. We've kind

684
00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:03,160
Speaker 10: of learned ourselves. We know what each other's move is

685
00:30:03,360 --> 00:30:06,360
Speaker 10: per se when you're kind of battling against an offensive lineman.

686
00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:09,360
Speaker 10: I'm sure it's the same for wide receivers and cornerbacks

687
00:30:09,400 --> 00:30:12,000
Speaker 10: and so on. But you know, we always talk about

688
00:30:12,040 --> 00:30:14,320
Speaker 10: pushing through days like this, you know, being able to grind,

689
00:30:14,440 --> 00:30:17,160
Speaker 10: being able to find one thing that can make yourself better.

690
00:30:17,200 --> 00:30:19,480
Speaker 10: And we got a coaching staff that actually helps us

691
00:30:19,520 --> 00:30:22,320
Speaker 10: out in that area, so we get reminded early on

692
00:30:22,600 --> 00:30:25,120
Speaker 10: how we can improve before practice. And then it's great

693
00:30:25,160 --> 00:30:28,280
Speaker 10: because guys are focusing on that one percent and that's

694
00:30:28,320 --> 00:30:30,280
Speaker 10: all you need in this league is to get better

695
00:30:30,480 --> 00:30:32,959
Speaker 10: one percent day in and day out, and the results

696
00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:33,360
Speaker 10: will show.

697
00:30:33,560 --> 00:30:35,320
Speaker 7: Hey, you just talk about optimism for the defense, for

698
00:30:35,400 --> 00:30:38,440
Speaker 7: the team as somebody who's going against the offense. What

699
00:30:38,560 --> 00:30:40,520
Speaker 7: are you see in there? What's got you optimistic about

700
00:30:40,560 --> 00:30:41,240
Speaker 7: that side of the ball.

701
00:30:41,600 --> 00:30:43,800
Speaker 10: I mean, we've been a very physical team as far

702
00:30:43,800 --> 00:30:45,840
Speaker 10: as when it comes down to running the ball, and

703
00:30:45,880 --> 00:30:47,480
Speaker 10: we're still able to do that. And that's what you

704
00:30:47,560 --> 00:30:50,080
Speaker 10: want to see when you're playing in this league. You

705
00:30:50,120 --> 00:30:52,200
Speaker 10: got to be able to have some kind of run game,

706
00:30:52,280 --> 00:30:53,840
Speaker 10: and we still got that, so that's great. And then

707
00:30:53,840 --> 00:30:56,240
Speaker 10: also we got such talented receivers that can stretch the field.

708
00:30:56,440 --> 00:30:58,400
Speaker 10: Oh man, it's just going to be amazing when you

709
00:30:58,440 --> 00:31:01,040
Speaker 10: can balance it up with and then hit guys with

710
00:31:01,360 --> 00:31:03,520
Speaker 10: play action. It's just a one to two points that

711
00:31:03,640 --> 00:31:05,240
Speaker 10: not a lot of teams have, but something that we're

712
00:31:05,280 --> 00:31:05,920
Speaker 10: gonna be able to use.

713
00:31:05,920 --> 00:31:06,120
Speaker 3: Guys.

714
00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:07,680
Speaker 7: All right, let's wrap this up. We've got a few

715
00:31:07,960 --> 00:31:10,320
Speaker 7: things we gotta get to. We need to rank the Hughes.

716
00:31:11,240 --> 00:31:15,760
Speaker 7: We got you, We've got Howard Hughes. We've got Hugh

717
00:31:15,880 --> 00:31:19,360
Speaker 7: Jackman the actor, Hugh Grant the actor, and then Larry

718
00:31:19,520 --> 00:31:21,960
Speaker 7: Hughes fourteen years in the NBA. How does that all

719
00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:22,400
Speaker 7: shake out?

720
00:31:22,800 --> 00:31:22,960
Speaker 6: Man?

721
00:31:23,960 --> 00:31:25,400
Speaker 10: You know, I gotta go with myself first.

722
00:31:25,600 --> 00:31:26,360
Speaker 7: I love confidence.

723
00:31:26,520 --> 00:31:28,560
Speaker 10: You gotta have conference in your stuff. You gotta believe

724
00:31:28,600 --> 00:31:31,120
Speaker 10: in yourself. And then you gotta go with Howard Hughes.

725
00:31:31,160 --> 00:31:35,400
Speaker 10: I mean aviation guy. I mean the movie that Leonardo

726
00:31:35,520 --> 00:31:37,600
Speaker 10: DiCaprio did was fantastic.

727
00:31:37,240 --> 00:31:39,960
Speaker 7: You know, And you're Hustonian, you appreciate you, I mean HOUSTONI.

728
00:31:39,600 --> 00:31:40,880
Speaker 10: And I appreciate it. And the fact that they were

729
00:31:40,880 --> 00:31:43,360
Speaker 10: able to highlight on his life and career house fantastic.

730
00:31:43,440 --> 00:31:46,080
Speaker 10: The third of all, not to say third, but Larry

731
00:31:46,160 --> 00:31:48,560
Speaker 10: Hughes a great basketball player, someone that we love to

732
00:31:48,600 --> 00:31:51,200
Speaker 10: see going out there, a good, big, strong power forward

733
00:31:51,400 --> 00:31:54,160
Speaker 10: dominating the glass. Can't get any better than that one

734
00:31:54,240 --> 00:31:54,840
Speaker 10: to three punch.

735
00:31:55,480 --> 00:31:56,920
Speaker 7: I got it. And then the I guess the actors

736
00:31:56,960 --> 00:31:57,680
Speaker 7: are tied for last.

737
00:31:57,760 --> 00:32:00,320
Speaker 10: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean that. I mean Hugh and

738
00:32:00,440 --> 00:32:02,640
Speaker 10: Hugh's a it's a toss up for those two guys.

739
00:32:02,720 --> 00:32:05,400
Speaker 7: You're sticking with the last thing that's good. Stup, complete

740
00:32:05,440 --> 00:32:07,440
Speaker 7: the sentence. The thing I love the most about each

741
00:32:07,520 --> 00:32:08,320
Speaker 7: town is.

742
00:32:09,080 --> 00:32:12,200
Speaker 10: The fans, the energy that they bring into the building. Man,

743
00:32:12,880 --> 00:32:14,960
Speaker 10: when you're here at a home game and you're coming

744
00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:17,320
Speaker 10: out that tunnel and it's just an electric feeling. I

745
00:32:17,440 --> 00:32:20,640
Speaker 10: tell everybody, especially the young guys who haven't experienced, just wait.

746
00:32:20,840 --> 00:32:23,040
Speaker 10: You don't need any extra boosts, no pre workout. They're

747
00:32:23,080 --> 00:32:24,960
Speaker 10: going to bring all that for you. You's got to

748
00:32:24,960 --> 00:32:26,160
Speaker 10: show up and play football.

749
00:32:26,560 --> 00:32:29,040
Speaker 7: Final two. A cheap meal for you, is what.

750
00:32:31,520 --> 00:32:34,040
Speaker 10: Man, pen and MS Really? Yeah, I can. I can

751
00:32:34,080 --> 00:32:36,400
Speaker 10: probably take one of those little king sized bags cheap

752
00:32:36,400 --> 00:32:36,960
Speaker 10: meal right there.

753
00:32:37,440 --> 00:32:40,120
Speaker 7: Okay. And how do you spend a day off from

754
00:32:40,160 --> 00:32:41,560
Speaker 7: training and no practice on Sunday?

755
00:32:41,640 --> 00:32:44,480
Speaker 10: Got a day off in the pool? Probably just trying

756
00:32:44,520 --> 00:32:47,840
Speaker 10: to cool down, chill, relax, hide away from the kids.

757
00:32:47,880 --> 00:32:49,880
Speaker 10: So I might be underwater submerged a little bit, you know,

758
00:32:50,040 --> 00:32:52,680
Speaker 10: but other than that, in the pool relaxing.

759
00:32:52,920 --> 00:32:54,800
Speaker 7: If you got kids, you're throwing those kids around, aren't you.

760
00:32:54,920 --> 00:32:57,080
Speaker 10: Oh and then that becomes a lot more of a workout,

761
00:32:57,280 --> 00:32:57,920
Speaker 10: less relaxing.

762
00:32:58,120 --> 00:32:59,600
Speaker 7: There you go. Jerry Hughes takes for the time. Best

763
00:32:59,640 --> 00:33:01,960
Speaker 7: of Lucktor there is Jerry.

764
00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:04,520
Speaker 2: He was like I said, don't know if he'll play

765
00:33:04,760 --> 00:33:09,360
Speaker 2: on Thursday, but you know, there's a couple positions where

766
00:33:10,080 --> 00:33:12,840
Speaker 2: it's a little thin now. Defensive end has been okay,

767
00:33:12,880 --> 00:33:14,800
Speaker 2: except Dylan Horton's been banged up a little bit, so

768
00:33:14,840 --> 00:33:15,760
Speaker 2: we haven't seen him as much.

769
00:33:15,840 --> 00:33:17,080
Speaker 1: Interior has been tough.

770
00:33:17,440 --> 00:33:21,400
Speaker 2: If you have Booker out, Heinish out, Rankins was out

771
00:33:21,400 --> 00:33:22,560
Speaker 2: I think for a day or two. Me that was

772
00:33:22,640 --> 00:33:25,960
Speaker 2: just a rest day, but kind kind of tough on

773
00:33:26,040 --> 00:33:29,440
Speaker 2: the inside and on the offensive line, so obviously into

774
00:33:29,480 --> 00:33:33,000
Speaker 2: trenches a little tough. But we might see Jerry for

775
00:33:33,080 --> 00:33:34,600
Speaker 2: a few plays, but we really don't need to see

776
00:33:34,680 --> 00:33:37,120
Speaker 2: him all that much. My guess is we won't see

777
00:33:37,200 --> 00:33:39,680
Speaker 2: him at all. I always like trying to guess who

778
00:33:39,800 --> 00:33:43,040
Speaker 2: we're gonna see in that game. I think Laramie obviously,

779
00:33:43,080 --> 00:33:47,320
Speaker 2: the news on Titus Today, Shack Mason. I don't think

780
00:33:47,360 --> 00:33:49,920
Speaker 2: we'll see any of those three guys on the offensive line.

781
00:33:50,880 --> 00:33:53,280
Speaker 2: I think on the defensive line, I think Jerry won't

782
00:33:53,840 --> 00:33:55,400
Speaker 2: play a whole heck of a lot. I don't even

783
00:33:55,400 --> 00:33:58,720
Speaker 2: know if you'll see a lot of the interior guys either, Rankins, Ridgeway.

784
00:33:59,040 --> 00:34:02,160
Speaker 2: If you see Ammy old him for long. So there's

785
00:34:02,160 --> 00:34:05,040
Speaker 2: gonna be some guys pulling in some a lot of minutes,

786
00:34:05,400 --> 00:34:07,560
Speaker 2: a lot of plays on Thursday night, but it won't

787
00:34:07,560 --> 00:34:09,279
Speaker 2: be a hundred your heat, but you might have to

788
00:34:09,360 --> 00:34:11,319
Speaker 2: do in rain. So we'll have to figure that out

789
00:34:11,400 --> 00:34:14,440
Speaker 2: on Thursday and see what comes of it.

790
00:34:14,520 --> 00:34:17,080
Speaker 1: All right, we get back. We got a little two fur.

791
00:34:17,520 --> 00:34:19,960

Speaker 7: It's been good.

811
00:35:02,160 --> 00:35:04,440
Speaker 5: I feel like through a year, I've been able to adjust.

812
00:35:04,560 --> 00:35:06,319
Speaker 5: You know, this year is a lot easier than last year,

813
00:35:06,880 --> 00:35:08,399
Speaker 5: but you know it's been It's been good some days

814
00:35:08,480 --> 00:35:09,919
Speaker 5: last year, past couple have been real nice.

815
00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:12,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, pastco has been real nice. To night practice, we

816
00:35:12,200 --> 00:35:12,880
Speaker 1: had some clouds.

817
00:35:13,080 --> 00:35:16,359
Speaker 2: John your second year, when you flash back to last

818
00:35:16,400 --> 00:35:19,239
Speaker 2: year rookie, first year in the NFL versus where you

819
00:35:19,320 --> 00:35:21,920
Speaker 2: are now, what's been kind of the biggest change for you,

820
00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:25,000
Speaker 2: like getting comfortable rot running, what's been the biggest change

821
00:35:25,000 --> 00:35:25,839
Speaker 2: for you in a year's time.

822
00:35:26,920 --> 00:35:28,839
Speaker 5: I think the mental side I grew a lot last

823
00:35:28,920 --> 00:35:31,759
Speaker 5: year as far as like just reading coverages, you know,

824
00:35:31,880 --> 00:35:33,960
Speaker 5: depending on the route and how I can win, just

825
00:35:34,239 --> 00:35:36,000
Speaker 5: just just easier ways to win on the field. And

826
00:35:36,080 --> 00:35:39,600
Speaker 5: then obviously just I feel like routes just just technically

827
00:35:39,840 --> 00:35:42,000
Speaker 5: just just getting the fine point down about.

828
00:35:41,800 --> 00:35:44,440
Speaker 2: My routes to get out of training camp and get

829
00:35:44,520 --> 00:35:47,400
Speaker 2: into a live game this week. I'd imagine for a player,

830
00:35:47,440 --> 00:35:49,600
Speaker 2: you're kind of itching to have that happen. How excited

831
00:35:49,640 --> 00:35:50,880
Speaker 2: are you for Thursday at New England?

832
00:35:51,080 --> 00:35:53,080
Speaker 5: Extremely excited? You know, this is this is the time

833
00:35:53,160 --> 00:35:54,880
Speaker 5: you make the money for the year and you go

834
00:35:55,000 --> 00:35:56,640
Speaker 5: get it. You know, you you build up all that

835
00:35:57,000 --> 00:35:58,560
Speaker 5: all that work through the summer in the spring for

836
00:35:58,680 --> 00:35:59,200
Speaker 5: moments like this.

837
00:35:59,680 --> 00:36:02,200
Speaker 1: It work with all these quarterbacks. Me something about these

838
00:36:02,239 --> 00:36:04,440
Speaker 1: three quarterbacks with CJ. Case and with Davis.

839
00:36:05,160 --> 00:36:06,440
Speaker 7: You know, they can all sling it.

840
00:36:06,480 --> 00:36:09,000
Speaker 5: They all got a great placement, you know, CJ And

841
00:36:09,320 --> 00:36:12,000
Speaker 5: and Mills got great deep ball. You know, Case is

842
00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:13,560
Speaker 5: a great leader back there. I feel like Case does

843
00:36:13,600 --> 00:36:15,960
Speaker 5: a great job of, especially us younger guys, cooling us

844
00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:17,959
Speaker 5: down in the huddle and you know, getting everybody writing

845
00:36:18,000 --> 00:36:20,320
Speaker 5: on that everybody can do their job and everything.

846
00:36:20,440 --> 00:36:23,000
Speaker 2: So you know, when you were with the Oregon you

847
00:36:23,040 --> 00:36:24,800
Speaker 2: were one of my favorite receivers. I loved watching you

848
00:36:24,880 --> 00:36:26,840
Speaker 2: were that Oregon and you were in the Pac twelve.

849
00:36:28,120 --> 00:36:31,120
Speaker 2: Next year you'll be famous Johnny Johnson from the Organ

850
00:36:31,200 --> 00:36:33,399
Speaker 2: Ducks in the Big Ten. That sounds kind of weird, man,

851
00:36:33,480 --> 00:36:35,560
Speaker 2: But when you think about this change overalls going on

852
00:36:35,640 --> 00:36:37,080
Speaker 2: in college football, if you're on the water.

853
00:36:37,440 --> 00:36:39,239
Speaker 5: I'll say it's a blessing, man, because I feel like

854
00:36:39,280 --> 00:36:41,560
Speaker 5: everybody's looked down on the Pac twell for a long time. So,

855
00:36:41,640 --> 00:36:43,480
Speaker 5: you know, just giving us the opportunity to compete in

856
00:36:43,520 --> 00:36:45,359
Speaker 5: the Big Ten and and really if we could take

857
00:36:45,400 --> 00:36:47,000
Speaker 5: over that conference and do what we need to do,

858
00:36:47,120 --> 00:36:50,160
Speaker 5: I feel like, you know, we'll be more respected nationwide,

859
00:36:50,320 --> 00:36:51,839
Speaker 5: and I think it's gonna be great for us.

860
00:36:52,160 --> 00:36:55,080
Speaker 1: Okay, what's a better helmet? Any of the Ducks helmets

861
00:36:55,239 --> 00:36:56,440
Speaker 1: or the battle read last year.

862
00:36:57,440 --> 00:36:59,600
Speaker 7: You know, I'm a Ducks for life, man, I'm gonna

863
00:36:59,600 --> 00:37:01,520
Speaker 7: go Duck all the way we got We got the

864
00:37:01,600 --> 00:37:02,680
Speaker 7: most drip in the nation.

865
00:37:02,920 --> 00:37:03,800
Speaker 1: There's no doubt about that.

866
00:37:03,880 --> 00:37:06,120
Speaker 10: Which was the best drip for me?

867
00:37:07,560 --> 00:37:08,480
Speaker 1: I really like the.

868
00:37:11,000 --> 00:37:14,560
Speaker 5: Hmm, that's a that's a great question. I honestly, my

869
00:37:14,920 --> 00:37:18,480
Speaker 5: recent my recent favorite would probably be the black with

870
00:37:18,600 --> 00:37:20,440
Speaker 5: the yellow with the yellow wings on it. That was

871
00:37:20,680 --> 00:37:21,640
Speaker 5: That was a real good one from me.

872
00:37:21,760 --> 00:37:24,799
Speaker 2: Yeah, Johnny, this wide receiver room, a lot of people

873
00:37:24,840 --> 00:37:25,440
Speaker 2: have talked about it.

874
00:37:25,520 --> 00:37:26,839
Speaker 1: Nashley, Oh, it's not very good.

875
00:37:26,960 --> 00:37:27,560
Speaker 10: It's just it's that.

876
00:37:27,719 --> 00:37:29,600
Speaker 1: But we watched you guys out here. We see the

877
00:37:29,680 --> 00:37:31,520
Speaker 1: talents that you guys have. What do you guys have

878
00:37:31,600 --> 00:37:33,719
Speaker 1: in that wide receiver room? What's special about that group?

879
00:37:34,360 --> 00:37:37,000
Speaker 5: I think we have a lot of creatively different type

880
00:37:37,000 --> 00:37:39,520
Speaker 5: of receivers, different body types, you know, guys with different talents,

881
00:37:39,560 --> 00:37:41,040
Speaker 5: and I feel like we all learn from each other.

882
00:37:41,480 --> 00:37:43,239
Speaker 5: I feel like this room is filled filled with a

883
00:37:43,280 --> 00:37:45,120
Speaker 5: lot of technicians that know how to get open. At

884
00:37:45,160 --> 00:37:46,920
Speaker 5: the end of the day, we're not sloppy route runners.

885
00:37:46,960 --> 00:37:49,480
Speaker 5: We're smart football players too, So I feel like this

886
00:37:49,640 --> 00:37:50,840
Speaker 5: room has a lot of savvy guys that.

887
00:37:50,840 --> 00:37:51,439
Speaker 7: Know how to get open.

888
00:37:51,800 --> 00:37:53,719

Speaker 2: Can go to New England showed off like he did

892
00:37:57,000 --> 00:37:59,400
Speaker 2: in Week one last year of the preseason when he

893
00:37:59,760 --> 00:38:03,800
Speaker 2: was a rookie. All right, let's talk with Darius Phillips.

894
00:38:03,960 --> 00:38:09,160
Speaker 2: Saturday night night practice got a little wild, got fans

895
00:38:09,360 --> 00:38:11,720
Speaker 2: got music going on, all kinds of stuff, but Darius

896
00:38:11,719 --> 00:38:13,440
Speaker 2: Phillips was good. Let's take a listen to what he

897
00:38:13,480 --> 00:38:14,760
Speaker 2: had to say it to Mark and myself.

898
00:38:14,920 --> 00:38:18,160
Speaker 4: Darius Phillips Joudianus after practice the night practice, how was.

899
00:38:18,200 --> 00:38:19,240
Speaker 3: It here in front of the fans?

900
00:38:19,360 --> 00:38:20,680
Speaker 9: And it was the electric You know, I've been this

901
00:38:20,800 --> 00:38:23,400
Speaker 9: is my six year league and this is crazy. I

902
00:38:23,440 --> 00:38:25,680
Speaker 9: feel like almost like a game day atmosphere up here,

903
00:38:25,760 --> 00:38:27,879
Speaker 9: So it's kind of it's electrifying and exciting to see

904
00:38:27,920 --> 00:38:30,360
Speaker 9: the fans out here cheering his own Darius.

905
00:38:30,400 --> 00:38:32,160
Speaker 2: The first practice saw you coming out the field. I

906
00:38:32,200 --> 00:38:34,440
Speaker 2: was waiting for my interview and you're like, man, it's

907
00:38:34,560 --> 00:38:35,959
Speaker 2: just like back in college.

908
00:38:35,719 --> 00:38:37,480
Speaker 1: Like Western Michigan. You still think that with the heat

909
00:38:37,520 --> 00:38:38,040
Speaker 1: and the humidity.

910
00:38:38,280 --> 00:38:39,600
Speaker 9: Oh no, I was saying that because I was I

911
00:38:39,680 --> 00:38:41,279
Speaker 9: was just playing a little good defense. I was talking

912
00:38:41,280 --> 00:38:44,040
Speaker 9: to little trash to to my old teammates. So no,

913
00:38:44,160 --> 00:38:46,480
Speaker 9: that the heat out here is definitely different from the

914
00:38:46,640 --> 00:38:47,560
Speaker 9: Klamazoo Michigan.

915
00:38:48,320 --> 00:38:50,680
Speaker 4: How does it feel to have two other Detroit guys

916
00:38:50,840 --> 00:38:53,440
Speaker 4: on the team with Tavier Thomas and Desmond King.

917
00:38:53,960 --> 00:38:55,320
Speaker 7: It's actually very welcome.

918
00:38:55,360 --> 00:38:56,600
Speaker 9: You know, I knew to them since I was a

919
00:38:56,760 --> 00:38:59,479
Speaker 9: younger playing little lead, so coming here and then seeing

920
00:38:59,520 --> 00:39:01,800
Speaker 9: the familiar is actually like kind of exciting. You know,

921
00:39:02,000 --> 00:39:04,680
Speaker 9: we grew up in the same neighborhood, playing for the

922
00:39:04,719 --> 00:39:08,279
Speaker 9: same little league football league. I used to play against them,

923
00:39:08,320 --> 00:39:10,600
Speaker 9: two guys, so it's exciting being on the same team

924
00:39:10,680 --> 00:39:10,920
Speaker 9: for us.

925
00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:12,520
Speaker 2: It feels like more and more guys are coming from

926
00:39:12,560 --> 00:39:15,120
Speaker 2: the d. You saw something in New York. You shoot

927
00:39:15,120 --> 00:39:16,800
Speaker 2: a lot of guys coming from Detroit. What is it

928
00:39:16,840 --> 00:39:18,919
Speaker 2: about that area? I mean, there's just so many places.

929
00:39:18,920 --> 00:39:20,200
Speaker 2: Obviously we have three of them here, but there's so

930
00:39:20,280 --> 00:39:21,759
Speaker 2: many of them come out of the area, and I'm

931
00:39:21,760 --> 00:39:22,480
Speaker 2: making it to the league.

932
00:39:22,520 --> 00:39:23,880
Speaker 10: What's what's been the secret?

933
00:39:24,200 --> 00:39:27,400

Speaker 1: You're having a good camp.

941
00:39:41,800 --> 00:39:43,800
Speaker 3: What goes into having a good camp.

942
00:39:44,520 --> 00:39:47,760
Speaker 9: Just consistency, trying to do in the same routine, getting

943
00:39:47,760 --> 00:39:50,120
Speaker 9: extra film and just trusting my technique and trusting what

944
00:39:50,200 --> 00:39:52,120
Speaker 9: the coaches is telling us to do. You know, we

945

00:39:59,840 --> 00:40:02,719
Speaker 2: The Darius's gonna make you put on your scout hat.

950
00:40:03,080 --> 00:40:05,400

959
00:40:22,480 --> 00:40:25,719
Speaker 9: Hutcherson and like I said, Tank and Matthews. They come out,

960
00:40:25,719 --> 00:40:27,560
Speaker 9: you can tell that they're getting more comfortable and getting

961
00:40:27,600 --> 00:40:30,359
Speaker 9: more familiar with the system and it's getting the whole

962
00:40:30,360 --> 00:40:30,799
Speaker 9: team better.

963
00:40:31,040 --> 00:40:33,600
Speaker 4: You've got a preseason game coming out Thursday night, act

964
00:40:33,640 --> 00:40:34,120

967
00:40:37,400 --> 00:40:38,120
Speaker 1: It is very important.

968
00:40:38,120 --> 00:40:40,200
Speaker 9: You know, we've been going against our guys so it's

969
00:40:40,480 --> 00:40:42,560
Speaker 9: it's uh, it's gonna be kind of exciting to go

970
00:40:42,640 --> 00:40:45,399
Speaker 9: against the We can hit other guys and feel fill

971
00:40:45,440 --> 00:40:47,600
Speaker 9: out other guys and actually put our technique against some

972
00:40:47,640 --> 00:40:48,920
Speaker 9: people that we haven't faced.

973
00:40:49,360 --> 00:40:52,880
Speaker 2: What's better or more fun the preseason game or the

974
00:40:53,000 --> 00:40:54,160
Speaker 2: joint practices you have.

975
00:40:54,960 --> 00:40:57,200
Speaker 9: I'm gonna go with the preseason game, you know, just

976
00:40:57,239 --> 00:40:59,600
Speaker 9: because you can actually go out and uh hit and

977
00:41:00,440 --> 00:41:01,960
Speaker 9: and just let keep scoring.

978
00:41:02,040 --> 00:41:03,560
Speaker 1: You somebody actually get the win lose.

979
00:41:04,280 --> 00:41:06,799
Speaker 4: Yeah, when you're not able to hit, because you really

980
00:41:06,880 --> 00:41:09,600
Speaker 4: can't hit each other out here, maybe make a little contact.

981
00:41:10,040 --> 00:41:12,560
Speaker 3: It's kind of a disadvantage for the defensive guys.

982
00:41:12,600 --> 00:41:13,960
Speaker 1: You don't get to really do your stuff.

983
00:41:14,080 --> 00:41:16,160
Speaker 9: Yeah, you know, they getting then we get the rest,

984
00:41:16,239 --> 00:41:18,560
Speaker 9: get the spot the ball where ever they want. You know,

985
00:41:18,840 --> 00:41:21,200
Speaker 9: we think we tag them off probably five six yards

986
00:41:21,520 --> 00:41:22,720
Speaker 9: ahead of the residue.

987
00:41:22,719 --> 00:41:24,799
Speaker 7: So it's kind of it's kind of give and take.

988
00:41:25,600 --> 00:41:27,520
Speaker 2: There's what's it like in that secondary room. It's a

989
00:41:27,560 --> 00:41:29,719
Speaker 2: good mix of vents and some young dudes. What's that

990
00:41:29,800 --> 00:41:30,759
Speaker 2: secondary room like?

991
00:41:31,760 --> 00:41:33,880
Speaker 9: I think we connected, know I'm new here, and they

992
00:41:33,920 --> 00:41:37,640
Speaker 9: all welcome, welcome, and are so a very connected dB group,

993
00:41:37,680 --> 00:41:39,239
Speaker 9: and we all pushing each other and we have a

994
00:41:39,280 --> 00:41:41,520
Speaker 9: standard to to make sure that we're not letting the

995
00:41:41,520 --> 00:41:43,120
Speaker 9: other guy down. So I think that's gonna be very

996
00:41:43,160 --> 00:41:44,280
