1 00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:04,640 Speaker 1: Welcome to everybody to a Wednesday edition of Texans All Access. 2 00:00:04,640 --> 00:00:08,160 Speaker 1: It's not a Draft Wednesday anymore because we are a 3 00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:10,959 Speaker 1: post draft, but that doesn't mean we won't talk about 4 00:00:11,080 --> 00:00:14,960 Speaker 1: next year's draft. Drew Dory has already done a mock 5 00:00:15,080 --> 00:00:18,119 Speaker 1: draft survey for twenty twenty two. So what do the 6 00:00:18,200 --> 00:00:21,279 Speaker 1: future prospects look like for the Texans? Wow? Three quarterback 7 00:00:21,360 --> 00:00:23,760 Speaker 1: names came up, and a defensive player that I think 8 00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:25,640 Speaker 1: can be transcendent. We'll talk about that later. We'll go 9 00:00:25,640 --> 00:00:29,560 Speaker 1: around the NFL later, but right now, we kick off 10 00:00:29,560 --> 00:00:31,640 Speaker 1: the show with one of my great friends, and I'm 11 00:00:31,680 --> 00:00:33,519 Speaker 1: so glad to have her on with me. I'm your host, 12 00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:35,760 Speaker 1: John Harris. By the way, it's my good friend dep 13 00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:38,320 Speaker 1: City Dpe. How are you doing. Hey, it's good to 14 00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:41,120 Speaker 1: see you doing radio in person is not something we've 15 00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:42,400 Speaker 1: been able to do a lot of, but it's great 16 00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:45,240 Speaker 1: to see you. How are you doing. I'm a great Johnny. 17 00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:47,760 Speaker 1: I mean, I think we've survived post draft. We made 18 00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:50,720 Speaker 1: it through the draft. It was fantastic, and now we're 19 00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:54,080 Speaker 1: just sort of, you know, like recover. We're recover. We're excited. 20 00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:57,200 Speaker 1: It feels like any season again. And it was really 21 00:00:57,280 --> 00:00:59,320 Speaker 1: nice to see you in person last Thursday when we 22 00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:01,920 Speaker 1: kicked off the Draft show. I know that's a crazy 23 00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:04,720 Speaker 1: month few months for you. The draft month and Draft 24 00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:08,240 Speaker 1: Day is super crazy. And I always ask you to 25 00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:10,600 Speaker 1: do all access with me at least for a little bit, 26 00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:13,120 Speaker 1: because I feel like everybody wants to hear John Harris's 27 00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:16,199 Speaker 1: final thoughts because so much changes up until those last 28 00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:18,720 Speaker 1: few days and minutes leading up to the draft. So 29 00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:20,600 Speaker 1: it was fun to see you in person. I missed 30 00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:22,560 Speaker 1: doing radio in person too. I think I said it 31 00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:25,640 Speaker 1: in the show and I told Mark Vandermier later we 32 00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:27,240 Speaker 1: had our department meeting, and I said that was one 33 00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:29,039 Speaker 1: of my favorite things, was just getting back in the 34 00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:32,440 Speaker 1: studio and doing radio in person again. And now we've 35 00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:34,320 Speaker 1: got guys to talk about and hopefully we get to 36 00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:36,960 Speaker 1: actually talk to the guys in person, and you know 37 00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:39,560 Speaker 1: so much to look forward to it, Like you know, 38 00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:41,880 Speaker 1: like years pass when you just took it all for granted, 39 00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:44,679 Speaker 1: Like we will not keep these things for granted anymore. Yeah, 40 00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:47,280 Speaker 1: you're right about that. There are things that we will 41 00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:50,480 Speaker 1: definitely not take for granted. Oh man, we get an 42 00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:55,240 Speaker 1: interview with the GM really wow, Like that will never 43 00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:59,160 Speaker 1: never that will never be taken for granted, not that 44 00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:01,120 Speaker 1: I don't think it was, but I don't think it 45 00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:04,440 Speaker 1: ever will. And we were so gracious to and thankful 46 00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:06,560 Speaker 1: to Nicossari for spending time with us both Friday and 47 00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:08,600 Speaker 1: Saturday night to give us kind of his thoughts on 48 00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:12,760 Speaker 1: what went down on the draft deep I'm going somewhere 49 00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:16,200 Speaker 1: with this, But you've been working on a series that 50 00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:20,239 Speaker 1: I love and it's really cool. It's called Meet the Texans, 51 00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:26,280 Speaker 1: And it's just because there's been so many changes, I 52 00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:28,680 Speaker 1: have this feeling I'm gonna look out at whether it's 53 00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:30,680 Speaker 1: OTAs or training camp or whatever, and I'm gonna look 54 00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:33,720 Speaker 1: out and go, oh my god, who is that? Okay, 55 00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:37,520 Speaker 1: I know that's MALIEK. Collins, But okay, I know that's 56 00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:39,280 Speaker 1: Belie Collins. But what about But you've been working on 57 00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:42,720 Speaker 1: a series called Meet the Texans in which you've kind 58 00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:46,960 Speaker 1: of been giving kind of nuggets and tidbits and information 59 00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:50,960 Speaker 1: about these particular players. Hey, how cool has that series 60 00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:53,720 Speaker 1: been to do to kind of learn about these guys 61 00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:58,880 Speaker 1: yourselves and be well, it's awesome. Serious, you gotta continue 62 00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:00,840 Speaker 1: it for all of us so we can stay on 63 00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:04,120 Speaker 1: the track with who's here and who they are. So 64 00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:07,760 Speaker 1: b thank you very much, But mainly, how has that 65 00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:10,080 Speaker 1: series really come to be and how informative has it 66 00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:11,680 Speaker 1: meant for you to learn about these guys as they 67 00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:14,240 Speaker 1: come to Houston as well? Yeah, Johnny, I mean that's 68 00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:16,320 Speaker 1: the reason why I started it, because after Nick Cassario 69 00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:20,200 Speaker 1: made all those transactions with free agency in the offseason, 70 00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:24,040 Speaker 1: you know, our team, the landscape of our team changed. 71 00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:27,799 Speaker 1: We had so many new players at so many different positions. 72 00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:30,000 Speaker 1: It seemed like the guys that were here before were 73 00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:33,040 Speaker 1: fewer and further between. And I thought, I've got to 74 00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:35,960 Speaker 1: learn about these new players. We know, especially with the 75 00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:37,840 Speaker 1: free agents, we know that they've been around the league. 76 00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:40,680 Speaker 1: We sort of know the general story of where they've been, 77 00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:43,440 Speaker 1: but I don't really feel like I know these players. 78 00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:45,560 Speaker 1: So I thought, I've got to do a deep dive 79 00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:48,160 Speaker 1: and learn about all these players. So why don't I 80 00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:50,360 Speaker 1: do a series? Because if I need to learn about them, 81 00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:52,400 Speaker 1: I'm sure fans need to learn about them as well. 82 00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:56,200 Speaker 1: So I said, I set out, and some days I 83 00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:58,320 Speaker 1: cursed myself for this, but I said, people start a 84 00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:00,640 Speaker 1: series and it's something called me the Texan, and we're 85 00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:03,160 Speaker 1: gonna meet these players one by one, and I've done 86 00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:07,440 Speaker 1: like somewhere in the twenties. I've done like somewhere between 87 00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:10,720 Speaker 1: twenty two and twenty five of them. That's for the 88 00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:15,560 Speaker 1: existing like current players, and then you know, the draft happened. 89 00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:17,160 Speaker 1: It went all the way through the draft, and now 90 00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:19,200 Speaker 1: the draft happened, so we've sort of switched gears. Is 91 00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:21,479 Speaker 1: Meet the Rookie, which is a series that I've normally done. 92 00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:24,039 Speaker 1: That's kind of where the inspiration first took place, because 93 00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:27,120 Speaker 1: as soon as we draft new players, I do Meet 94 00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:29,200 Speaker 1: Meet the Rookie series, and I thought we should do 95 00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:32,040 Speaker 1: this for our free agents even once the season begins, 96 00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:33,599 Speaker 1: you know, every now and then you sign up a guy, 97 00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:36,760 Speaker 1: like a street free agent, Let's just do a quick 98 00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:40,320 Speaker 1: you know, some bullets on him where he played in college, 99 00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:43,479 Speaker 1: some of his significant career milestones, where he went to 100 00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:45,680 Speaker 1: high school, some of the other sports he played. I 101 00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:48,000 Speaker 1: do a really great deep dive into their social media, 102 00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:51,280 Speaker 1: and I find all sorts of fun things. But these rookies, 103 00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:54,320 Speaker 1: I tell you, are very smart. They're social media is 104 00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:57,800 Speaker 1: all football related, so they know. They're much more social 105 00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:00,560 Speaker 1: media stabbing than some of the older guys and guys 106 00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:02,040 Speaker 1: that have been around league, they have had their social 107 00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:04,160 Speaker 1: media around for a while. But it's been a lot 108 00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:07,440 Speaker 1: of fun. It's been super informative for me. I hope 109 00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:09,800 Speaker 1: it's informative for the fans as well, but I think 110 00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:11,080 Speaker 1: it's a great way to sort of get to know 111 00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:15,840 Speaker 1: players on individual basis. Makes me wonder what happened first? 112 00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:17,760 Speaker 1: You know, it's kind of a chicken the egg thing. 113 00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:20,400 Speaker 1: You know, did they do a bunch of football tweets 114 00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:25,440 Speaker 1: and football social media stuff before they came to Houston? 115 00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:28,599 Speaker 1: Or are they in Houston in large part because their 116 00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:34,239 Speaker 1: focus is all on social media. Point point, I'm measure 117 00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:37,200 Speaker 1: which one comes first. Is there something that you learned 118 00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:41,000 Speaker 1: about a veteran coming to Houston where you're like, that's 119 00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:44,880 Speaker 1: really interesting? Maybe something you didn't know. Was there something 120 00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:48,000 Speaker 1: for one of the players that stands out um in 121 00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:50,640 Speaker 1: your in your mind as you think about the veterans 122 00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:53,120 Speaker 1: that you've already kind of looked at it and meet 123 00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:55,680 Speaker 1: the Meet the Texans article that you've done, is there 124 00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:58,479 Speaker 1: anything that stands out for you? You know a lot 125 00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:01,599 Speaker 1: of things. Obviously, Christian Kirksy was a lot of fun 126 00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:04,400 Speaker 1: to get to know because he was that Madden Glitch 127 00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:07,839 Speaker 1: back in twenty fifteen when he was one foot two 128 00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:11,520 Speaker 1: inches tall, and I started watching YouTube videos of like 129 00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:13,920 Speaker 1: I kind of remember that in the back of my mind. 130 00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:18,960 Speaker 1: But he did some really funny interviews with Madden after that, 131 00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:21,920 Speaker 1: and it was like a whole thing. They asked what 132 00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:24,080 Speaker 1: was your we're your favorite part and he said, oh, 133 00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:25,719 Speaker 1: you know, when they actually had me high five a 134 00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:28,559 Speaker 1: guy like I would jump up off the ground high 135 00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:30,640 Speaker 1: five a guy and come all the way back down, 136 00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:33,480 Speaker 1: And so I thought, I thought that was really fun. 137 00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:37,800 Speaker 1: I texted you you and Mark and uh, you know, 138 00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:40,719 Speaker 1: Drew about Cole Toner when I was the day I 139 00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:43,080 Speaker 1: did Cole Toner because Cole Toner went to the same 140 00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:46,280 Speaker 1: high school that I went to in Indianapolis. He grew 141 00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:49,520 Speaker 1: up in Greenwood, Indiana, and so then he went to Harvard. 142 00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:51,360 Speaker 1: So I just feel like I didn't hear that. And 143 00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:53,520 Speaker 1: then he also was a drummer of a band called 144 00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:59,640 Speaker 1: um Blind Melanin and it's an actual it's he's actually 145 00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:02,479 Speaker 1: they're on either Spotify. I think they're on Spotify. I 146 00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:09,440 Speaker 1: think on Spotify. So I actually love him that. Kirksey also, 147 00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:12,000 Speaker 1: I mean that we've got quite a few players that 148 00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:14,960 Speaker 1: are into musical instruments, but I think I like the 149 00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:16,880 Speaker 1: football aspect, but I also feel like I get a 150 00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:20,160 Speaker 1: good sense of, you know, some of their other interests 151 00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:22,280 Speaker 1: and hobbies because you know, like one of my favorite 152 00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:24,200 Speaker 1: things about my job is doing the deep slant and 153 00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:26,000 Speaker 1: we and I do that once a week during the season, 154 00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:29,239 Speaker 1: and I usually do that with all of our players. 155 00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:31,280 Speaker 1: But it's kind of nice to have brand new players 156 00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:34,360 Speaker 1: with brand new hobbies and brand new backgrounds, and you know, 157 00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:36,520 Speaker 1: it's going to be a really fun season, I think 158 00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:39,080 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty one as far as my job is concerned, 159 00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:41,200 Speaker 1: because I think it is one thing to write about them, 160 00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:43,360 Speaker 1: it's another to actually get the guy to open up 161 00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:46,560 Speaker 1: and talk about and tell stories. That's it's always great 162 00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:49,920 Speaker 1: for listeners to hear um players off the field. Yeah, 163 00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:52,040 Speaker 1: and you do such a great job of getting them 164 00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:55,000 Speaker 1: too open up. It's it's amazing when listen those interviews, 165 00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:57,520 Speaker 1: I'm like, how did def get him to say that? 166 00:07:57,640 --> 00:07:59,880 Speaker 1: It's it's crazy. Now, I know you haven't done all 167 00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:03,760 Speaker 1: all all of the rookies just yet. I know you've 168 00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:06,880 Speaker 1: done a few, but I know that you have been 169 00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:09,720 Speaker 1: obviously paying attention to all the guys drafted and looking 170 00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:13,520 Speaker 1: into their backgrounds already, and they're five guys drafted. Davis Mills, 171 00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:18,360 Speaker 1: quarterback from Stanford, Nico Collins, Brevin Jordan, Garrett Wallow, Roy 172 00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:24,720 Speaker 1: Lopez Junior. We are going to play most likely too. Now, 173 00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:27,080 Speaker 1: some of these there can be a reason behind it. 174 00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:30,480 Speaker 1: Some of these it might be a total and complete 175 00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:34,000 Speaker 1: guest and those might be the most fun. So here 176 00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:39,199 Speaker 1: we're going number one most likely to the rookie most 177 00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:44,520 Speaker 1: likely to be a fan of Real Housewives, the TV 178 00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:51,200 Speaker 1: show on Bravo. Oh, I'll go first. I'm gonna say 179 00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:58,319 Speaker 1: Brevin Jordans only because hey, he's from Las Vegas, be 180 00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:01,720 Speaker 1: he went to the University of Miami. I just feel 181 00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:05,400 Speaker 1: like those two cities kind of speak to him being 182 00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:07,400 Speaker 1: a fan of Real Housewatch. That could be totally wrong, 183 00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:09,480 Speaker 1: but that's the whole point of this. I like that. 184 00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:11,080 Speaker 1: That was going to be my first choice. But you 185 00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:14,960 Speaker 1: know what, I'm gonna go Davis Mills because he's and 186 00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:17,880 Speaker 1: here's my super important reasoning. He's the youngest of three, 187 00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:21,400 Speaker 1: he's got two older sisters. Yes, I have a younger 188 00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:24,240 Speaker 1: brother that has two older sisters, Me being the oldest 189 00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:27,200 Speaker 1: and My brother watches a lot of nonsense that I 190 00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:29,280 Speaker 1: don't think he'd be watching if he didn't have two 191 00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:34,800 Speaker 1: older sisters. The Bachelor, The Bachelorette, Real Housewise my brother 192 00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:37,679 Speaker 1: which watched all those shows because he really had no choice. 193 00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:39,360 Speaker 1: We had one TV between three of us that we 194 00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:42,280 Speaker 1: had to share. Yeah, that's a good one. Here's the 195 00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:46,040 Speaker 1: other factoid about Davis mills sister who actually lives here. 196 00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:49,960 Speaker 1: This happened on Saturday. I happened to be anas, bounced 197 00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:53,199 Speaker 1: around on Twitter and I saw that Davis mills sister. 198 00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:56,080 Speaker 1: Her name is Alie Alie Mills, and I'm like, man, 199 00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:58,440 Speaker 1: that sounds familiar. Alie Mills. Where have I heard that? 200 00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:01,640 Speaker 1: And then I went way to that can and I 201 00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:05,640 Speaker 1: typed in Elizabeth Shoe character in Karate Kid, Alie Mills. 202 00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:09,960 Speaker 1: Alie Mills was the name of Daniel Larusso's love interest 203 00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:14,720 Speaker 1: in Karate Kid. It's not the same Allie Mills, of course, 204 00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:18,240 Speaker 1: But how did you remember that? I don't know, I 205 00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:20,600 Speaker 1: feel I just felt like Alie Mills I had heard before, 206 00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:23,480 Speaker 1: and then it just it just clicked. I don't know why, 207 00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:27,360 Speaker 1: the stupid things that stay in my brain. Okay, now 208 00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:30,800 Speaker 1: you heard every press conference when these players were drafted, 209 00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:33,640 Speaker 1: we did not. We just interviewed market I did Davis 210 00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:38,000 Speaker 1: Mills and Nico Collins. So you probably can answer Sluit better. 211 00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:43,559 Speaker 1: Most likely to the rookie most likely to become one 212 00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:47,600 Speaker 1: of our regular Slash Go tos on Texans Radio. Maybe 213 00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:49,480 Speaker 1: not as a rookie, because we know how that goes, 214 00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:53,800 Speaker 1: but in the future. The rookie most likely to become 215 00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:57,440 Speaker 1: one of our regular Slash Go tos on Texans Radio 216 00:10:57,720 --> 00:11:03,080 Speaker 1: is I. And maybe this is because I wrote about him, 217 00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:08,280 Speaker 1: But I'm gonna say Roy Lopez Junior good one. His 218 00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:10,679 Speaker 1: dad was a coach, so Mark's gonna love talking to 219 00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:13,960 Speaker 1: him about that. Yeah. I love that he was in wrestling. 220 00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:16,960 Speaker 1: He's got great hair. We love him guest with great 221 00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:20,640 Speaker 1: hair because that gives us there's He's multidimensional. But I 222 00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:22,920 Speaker 1: did see some of his interviews after his pro day 223 00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:25,800 Speaker 1: and he just you know, he talks to students, He 224 00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:29,120 Speaker 1: you know, he answers questions. I like that Roy Lopez 225 00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:30,400 Speaker 1: has got a lot of different hobbies and a lot 226 00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:34,200 Speaker 1: of things going on. I like that. I like that. Okay, 227 00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:38,319 Speaker 1: this one, this one I thought about a lot. I 228 00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:41,360 Speaker 1: was like, Okay, now twenty twenty, this one didn't apply 229 00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:45,439 Speaker 1: because the team playing A didn't have everybody on it. 230 00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:49,840 Speaker 1: B Because of certain things with locker rooms and setups 231 00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:56,760 Speaker 1: and such, guys weren't required to wear a particular suit deep. 232 00:11:57,120 --> 00:12:02,000 Speaker 1: The rookie most likely to wear the most buzzworthy suit 233 00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:06,160 Speaker 1: on the team plane is Oh, I'm gonna go Brevin 234 00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:11,480 Speaker 1: Jordan for this one. Okay, Yeah, Las Vegas, Miami, South Beach, Um, 235 00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:15,160 Speaker 1: the Miami. The Miami guys with their fashion, the pastel 236 00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:19,160 Speaker 1: colors and everything. I'm looking forward to that. I'm really okay. Yeah, 237 00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:21,160 Speaker 1: that was kind of my first That was my first thought, 238 00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:23,280 Speaker 1: and what you know what made me think of this? 239 00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:27,480 Speaker 1: Twenty nineteen, we're on the bus going to New Orleans 240 00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:32,640 Speaker 1: for our first game. I'll tell the story. So we 241 00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:35,880 Speaker 1: had just traded for Kenny Stills. Nobody in our building 242 00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:38,160 Speaker 1: knows really anything. Nobody out apartment really knows anything about 243 00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:40,160 Speaker 1: Kenny Stills. We heard he's a good guy, we just 244 00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:42,959 Speaker 1: didn't know much about him. So we get on bus 245 00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:48,800 Speaker 1: two as we're supposed to, and the row over to 246 00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:51,240 Speaker 1: my left, like up one and over to my left, 247 00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:53,720 Speaker 1: there's nobody sitting there. We're about to leave it. All 248 00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:57,320 Speaker 1: of a sudden, Kenny Stills walks on and we got 249 00:12:57,320 --> 00:13:01,240 Speaker 1: into this text conversation about is that a mint suit? 250 00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:04,400 Speaker 1: Is it sea foam? Is it like? Like we couldn't 251 00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:06,240 Speaker 1: figure it was some sort of green, but we couldn't 252 00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:08,840 Speaker 1: figure it all out. And we were training text the 253 00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:12,760 Speaker 1: whole time and it was this just awesome looking suit 254 00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:15,839 Speaker 1: that we could not stop talking about. So, um, maybe 255 00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:18,040 Speaker 1: Brevin Jordan could find a sea foam colored suit? That 256 00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:20,360 Speaker 1: was it was? It was? It was a beautiful like 257 00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:24,640 Speaker 1: mint green. I stand by my mint. It was mint, 258 00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:27,200 Speaker 1: and we that's what I thought. I pulled up a 259 00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:30,520 Speaker 1: color wheel of greens and um Omar, who was in 260 00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:34,160 Speaker 1: pr I was texting him. I said, Omar, we we 261 00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:36,520 Speaker 1: are in a very heated debate. Can you put my 262 00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:40,360 Speaker 1: phone up behind Kenny's suit and tell us which one matches? 263 00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:42,480 Speaker 1: And Omar wouldn't do it. He just wouldn't be a 264 00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:44,679 Speaker 1: team player. I was, I think, in the middle of 265 00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:47,400 Speaker 1: this debate once and for all. But that was, Yeah, 266 00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:50,640 Speaker 1: that was hilarious because he got We all had that 267 00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:52,200 Speaker 1: same thought. When he got on, us were like, wow, 268 00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:55,200 Speaker 1: look at that suit, and yeah, talking about all right, 269 00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:59,640 Speaker 1: Brevin Jordan is that guy. Okay, this one. I love 270 00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:01,640 Speaker 1: this one I came up with. I'm very proud of 271 00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:06,439 Speaker 1: this one. The rookie most likely to in the faraway 272 00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:11,280 Speaker 1: future supplant Mark vander Meer's the voice of the Texans. 273 00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:21,000 Speaker 1: Oh I my answer is Nico Collins is I think 274 00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:24,760 Speaker 1: I think it's Nico Collins. I loved our interview with Nico. 275 00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:28,640 Speaker 1: I just felt like he was he was kind of 276 00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:32,800 Speaker 1: he was gregarious, but yet not way over the top. 277 00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:36,880 Speaker 1: So I just felt like he would he would have 278 00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:40,000 Speaker 1: been the perfect He would be the perfect play by 279 00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:43,240 Speaker 1: play guy. Not saying rock and roll because that's Mark's gimmick, 280 00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:45,640 Speaker 1: and you know, I didn't said the gimmick. It's a 281 00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:48,400 Speaker 1: staying and it's perfect. I think Nico Collins would the 282 00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:50,760 Speaker 1: answer that question. And I love the fact that Mark 283 00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:54,200 Speaker 1: will I'll play that for him at one point. But 284 00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:56,560 Speaker 1: the rookie most likely supplant Mark is the voice that 285 00:14:56,680 --> 00:15:03,640 Speaker 1: Texans is. Well, I'll just go Davis Mills, just because 286 00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:05,440 Speaker 1: I liked some of the stories that he told on 287 00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:08,680 Speaker 1: his press conference. He told the story about his sister 288 00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:12,040 Speaker 1: and and you know Pep and Andrew Luck and he 289 00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:14,480 Speaker 1: just sort of can he covered a lot of different topics. 290 00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:16,920 Speaker 1: His might have been the longest press conference, maybe because 291 00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:19,520 Speaker 1: he had the most questions. But I feel like, as 292 00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:21,400 Speaker 1: if played by play guy, he can really add a 293 00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:24,960 Speaker 1: lot of detail to what's happening. Um, he adds a 294 00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:27,560 Speaker 1: lot of a lot of extras to his answer that 295 00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:29,960 Speaker 1: you may not ask for. I find that very important 296 00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:33,040 Speaker 1: in a football analyst. Johnny, You're obviously very great at that, 297 00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:35,280 Speaker 1: and you do a great job telling story. So out 298 00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:37,720 Speaker 1: of storytelling, I'll give Davis Mills an a plus. So 299 00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:39,560 Speaker 1: that's a good one. That's that's a big part of it. 300 00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:41,520 Speaker 1: That's excellent. Okay, now this one is really all This 301 00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:46,240 Speaker 1: one's all about you, So I'll give my answer, but 302 00:15:46,760 --> 00:15:50,360 Speaker 1: you obviously you'll get to hopefully do this. The rookie 303 00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:55,800 Speaker 1: most likely to do the best deep slant interview in 304 00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:59,840 Speaker 1: the future is Oh, I know the one that I 305 00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:07,160 Speaker 1: want you to do, and that's Roy Lopez. So many 306 00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:11,240 Speaker 1: I have so many questions for a deep slant with 307 00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:15,000 Speaker 1: Roy Lopez. I mean, first of all, I mean the hair. 308 00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:19,400 Speaker 1: You gotta ask about the wrestling background, and you know me, 309 00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:24,160 Speaker 1: I'm I'm a coach's son, so that isn't always easy 310 00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:26,960 Speaker 1: to be a coach's son. Now, I know his dad 311 00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:29,800 Speaker 1: loved him. My dad loved me. But there were moments where, 312 00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:32,720 Speaker 1: you know, the senior and I we we've clashed a 313 00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:35,920 Speaker 1: little bit. So I'd always I want to know something 314 00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:38,280 Speaker 1: from Roy about his dad as a coach. I feel 315 00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:41,480 Speaker 1: like Roy Lopez would be a great deep slant for 316 00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:44,880 Speaker 1: a year. Of course, I I I think all these 317 00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:47,640 Speaker 1: guys would be great. I would maybe go Garrett Wallow 318 00:16:47,880 --> 00:16:51,760 Speaker 1: just because I feel like I know the least about him. 319 00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:54,200 Speaker 1: You know, also what he went to You know, he 320 00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:56,200 Speaker 1: went to school in Texas. He grew up in New Orleans, 321 00:16:56,320 --> 00:17:00,000 Speaker 1: so he's he's got a lot of local connection to Texas. 322 00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:01,720 Speaker 1: This I feel like he kind of gets the state. 323 00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:04,240 Speaker 1: So I feel like there's a lot under the surface 324 00:17:04,320 --> 00:17:07,920 Speaker 1: that we don't know about him. Um, So I would 325 00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:09,879 Speaker 1: go Garret Walla because sometimes I like the guy with 326 00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:14,720 Speaker 1: the untapped story. Yes, some of your best interviews have 327 00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:18,320 Speaker 1: been with the guys that we didn't see coming. Like 328 00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:22,600 Speaker 1: there was one I think in twenty nineteen that you 329 00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:26,879 Speaker 1: did and I was like, that was amazing. It was 330 00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:29,160 Speaker 1: really really good. I can't think of the top top 331 00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:31,160 Speaker 1: of my head, but it was not somebody I expected 332 00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:34,639 Speaker 1: to even like do a great interview with you. And 333 00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:37,000 Speaker 1: I was just like, that's really good. I'll tell you. 334 00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:40,600 Speaker 1: I'll tell you what we had. Um. I had Chris 335 00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:44,480 Speaker 1: Polk on the Running Back several years ago. Yeah, and 336 00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:47,720 Speaker 1: he was he was always joking around and laughing in 337 00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:49,680 Speaker 1: the locker room and chit chatting. So when I sat 338 00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:51,199 Speaker 1: down with a deep for a deep slant with him, 339 00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:53,080 Speaker 1: I thought, Okay, I kind of know what to expect. 340 00:17:53,119 --> 00:17:56,080 Speaker 1: I kind of get his son. He actually cried because 341 00:17:56,160 --> 00:17:59,200 Speaker 1: we started talking about how wow, I was living in 342 00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:02,240 Speaker 1: a car while his mom was doing nursing school. They 343 00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:04,679 Speaker 1: would sit under a street light and she would study, 344 00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:07,080 Speaker 1: and he was sort of like looking back at his 345 00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:09,119 Speaker 1: life and everything that he sort of went through to 346 00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:10,760 Speaker 1: sort of get to that point in his career. I 347 00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:13,560 Speaker 1: did not see it coming, but it was just so 348 00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:16,240 Speaker 1: amazing that he, you know, for a guy that he's 349 00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:18,320 Speaker 1: just so jovial and happy. I did. I did not. 350 00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:20,520 Speaker 1: I did not expect it to go that way. But 351 00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:22,600 Speaker 1: I had so much respect for him for being able 352 00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:24,639 Speaker 1: to share that and open up. And I remember just 353 00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:27,320 Speaker 1: getting a lot of a lot of compliments on the interview. 354 00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:30,840 Speaker 1: Maybe twenty nineteen. You're thinking of Laramie Tumsel because I 355 00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:34,360 Speaker 1: did an interview with Laramie where we did not even 356 00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:37,320 Speaker 1: talk about football, not once, because he said, okay, but 357 00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:39,520 Speaker 1: you can't ask me anything football related, and I'm like, 358 00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:42,639 Speaker 1: that is easy, my friend. Yes, and I did an 359 00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:45,000 Speaker 1: entire deep sand we didn't even talk about we we 360 00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:46,919 Speaker 1: did not We danced around it, but we didn't talk 361 00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:49,840 Speaker 1: about football. Yeah, LT and that would ask like thirty seconds. 362 00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:55,359 Speaker 1: But he has a tough interview because he doesn't like 363 00:18:55,680 --> 00:18:59,760 Speaker 1: he doesn't like doing these press conferences. I ask him, great, Yeah, 364 00:18:59,840 --> 00:19:01,399 Speaker 1: I know what I would ask him though, my very 365 00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:03,639 Speaker 1: first question. And this has kind of become one of 366 00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:06,840 Speaker 1: my go toes when we've had players on. He made 367 00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:08,280 Speaker 1: a comment it may have been it may I think 368 00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:10,720 Speaker 1: it may have been to you. Actually he said his 369 00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:15,960 Speaker 1: pregame music, his go to pregame music is Shade. Yes, 370 00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:18,720 Speaker 1: And I'm like, okay, now wait a second, Shade and 371 00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:22,600 Speaker 1: I there's a connection. Oh, I love there's there is 372 00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:27,399 Speaker 1: a connection with Shade and going way way back to 373 00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:29,720 Speaker 1: when Sean Penry asked and I did radio together to 374 00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:32,159 Speaker 1: long story if you know it from my days of 375 00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:35,439 Speaker 1: fifteen sixty you know what shade means. I love Shade. 376 00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:40,880 Speaker 1: But then it was like before a game. But then 377 00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:43,560 Speaker 1: I thought, it's lt that's just kind of that's him. 378 00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:45,399 Speaker 1: I could totally see that because the way that he 379 00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:47,119 Speaker 1: the way he was about it, and the way he 380 00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:49,600 Speaker 1: approaches things that it makes it makes a ton of sense. 381 00:19:49,960 --> 00:19:52,480 Speaker 1: But Shade, I'm like, Okay, so that would be my 382 00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:55,320 Speaker 1: first question. And after that I would be like, remember that, 383 00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:58,080 Speaker 1: remember that time when you when you pancake that dude, Yeah, 384 00:19:58,160 --> 00:19:59,760 Speaker 1: that was cool. That would be the rest of it that. 385 00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:03,040 Speaker 1: I think these big these big guys are so physical 386 00:20:03,119 --> 00:20:05,440 Speaker 1: and so violent. They're so amped up on energy, and 387 00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:08,119 Speaker 1: I think they have to actually like sort of harness 388 00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:11,240 Speaker 1: it before a game. That's my theory I think. I 389 00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:13,920 Speaker 1: think I think that sort of brings a level of 390 00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:17,080 Speaker 1: calm to him because they probably have so much adrenaline 391 00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:20,440 Speaker 1: running through their system. Okay all the time. I know 392 00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:26,199 Speaker 1: he seemingly Yes, let's go with this one. The rookie 393 00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:32,560 Speaker 1: most likely to do a TikTok worthy tack slash sack 394 00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:36,400 Speaker 1: slash touchdown dance. I kind of encompassed. I think everybody 395 00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:40,800 Speaker 1: you're gonna tackle socker. Yeah, most the rookie most likely 396 00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:47,159 Speaker 1: to do a TikTok worthy d big play dance. I 397 00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:51,920 Speaker 1: know who it wouldn't be. I know this shadow. I 398 00:20:52,040 --> 00:20:54,560 Speaker 1: know it would not be Davis Mills. I know it 399 00:20:54,600 --> 00:20:57,879 Speaker 1: won't be Davis Mills. He is a cool customer on 400 00:20:57,960 --> 00:21:01,000 Speaker 1: the field now, I've seen him sell a touchdown. That's 401 00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:04,320 Speaker 1: why that in him. He's a chill He's a very 402 00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:07,560 Speaker 1: chill guy. So really, to me, would be down to four. 403 00:21:08,080 --> 00:21:10,159 Speaker 1: I don't see him doing that. I could see the 404 00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:14,359 Speaker 1: other four. Probably the other one would be Garrett Willow. 405 00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:16,760 Speaker 1: Garrett just makes a tackle, gets up, does it again, 406 00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:19,280 Speaker 1: gets the play called, does it again. So Garrett would 407 00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:22,400 Speaker 1: be probably out for me as well. But who would 408 00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:24,480 Speaker 1: you say the most the rookie most likely to do 409 00:21:24,560 --> 00:21:28,960 Speaker 1: a TikTok worthy tackle slash sack, slash touchdown, big play 410 00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:36,200 Speaker 1: dance between It's a tie between Brevin and Roy. For 411 00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:38,960 Speaker 1: me on the too, I think Brevin. I've seen the 412 00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:41,840 Speaker 1: hardware that the Miami Hurricane guys wear. Yeah, that's a 413 00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:44,320 Speaker 1: good point. And I just think that he you know, 414 00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:48,000 Speaker 1: he's kind of he's into all that, you know, flash 415 00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:50,640 Speaker 1: and dance. So I feel like that that translate well 416 00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:54,639 Speaker 1: to TikTok. But Rody Lopez is big, and you know, 417 00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:57,520 Speaker 1: I think he throws his weight around. Well. I feel 418 00:21:57,560 --> 00:22:00,680 Speaker 1: like he likes he's really good on am run stuff. 419 00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:02,640 Speaker 1: So I could see him as well. But I would 420 00:22:02,680 --> 00:22:05,920 Speaker 1: I would go between those two. I could agree with you. 421 00:22:06,359 --> 00:22:10,240 Speaker 1: I could agree with you. Last one the rookie most 422 00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:17,600 Speaker 1: likely to drive a truck in Houston. Oh, it's gotta 423 00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:19,840 Speaker 1: be Garrett. It's gonna be Garrett Wallow. He went to 424 00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:22,080 Speaker 1: I would think, so he's got the most connection. He's 425 00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:25,240 Speaker 1: got the most connection to this, Garrett. Yeah, it was 426 00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:28,200 Speaker 1: from New Orleans, went to TCU. I think, I think 427 00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:30,880 Speaker 1: that's gotta be Garrett. That's we could be totally wrong. 428 00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:32,760 Speaker 1: He may want to drive a Maserati and that's all 429 00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:34,840 Speaker 1: he wants to drive. But you gotta keep eyes. Feel 430 00:22:35,119 --> 00:22:38,160 Speaker 1: we gotta giesel once the players start rolling in. Yeah, 431 00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:42,480 Speaker 1: but for these I would think Garrett Wallow agree, disagree, Yeah, agree, 432 00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:45,960 Speaker 1: Garret wall dpe. It was great having you on. Thank 433 00:22:46,040 --> 00:22:48,920 Speaker 1: you so very much a lot of fun, Johnny. Thank 434 00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:53,000 Speaker 1: you as always, we come back. Twenty twenty two is 435 00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:56,440 Speaker 1: actually not that far off. The Texans do have first 436 00:22:56,440 --> 00:22:59,919 Speaker 1: and second round picks. Judy worked on a mock draft survey. 437 00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:03,880 Speaker 1: What the early projections are. I'll get into them next. 438 00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:10,479 Speaker 1: Right here in Texans All Access, it's going on. Everybody, 439 00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:12,840 Speaker 1: Welcome back to this Wednesday edition the Texans All Access 440 00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:17,000 Speaker 1: from the Honday Texans Radios studio.

Not a cloud in 445 00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:39,680 Speaker 1: the sky. And this is the kind of day you 446 00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:42,840 Speaker 1: live in Houston for right here, so at seventy seventy 447 00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:46,360 Speaker 1: five degrees tops, oh, a little bit of a breeze, man, 448 00:23:47,040 --> 00:23:52,399 Speaker 1: it was absolutely rock solid stuff. Appreciate you being here 449 00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:53,960 Speaker 1: with me. I'm your host, John Harris, Football on a 450 00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:59,800 Speaker 1: sideline reporter of your Houston Texans. And I don't want 451 00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:01,119 Speaker 1: to get too far ahead of myself, but one of 452 00:24:01,119 --> 00:24:02,879 Speaker 1: the things I love to do after the draft is 453 00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:05,600 Speaker 1: over is start to think ahead. No matter what, no 454 00:24:05,840 --> 00:24:11,760 Speaker 1: idea what this season will provide, no idea what the 455 00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:15,440 Speaker 1: college season will provide. But I always like to start 456 00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:21,800 Speaker 1: looking ahead to what could be and each year, and 457 00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:24,960 Speaker 1: of course with the Texans having a first and second 458 00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:28,320 Speaker 1: round pick, we can get excited about that and each 459 00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:32,320 Speaker 1: year that we have a first second round pick. Actually 460 00:24:32,359 --> 00:24:35,680 Speaker 1: even when we don't, Andrew Doherty sits down and does 461 00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:41,760 Speaker 1: his mock draft survey what can happen in the future. 462 00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:48,040 Speaker 1: He starts it as soon as the season is over, 463 00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:51,119 Speaker 1: as soon as the season is I'm sorry, soon as 464 00:24:51,160 --> 00:24:54,240 Speaker 1: the draft is done. He starts at mock draft survey. 465 00:24:54,880 --> 00:24:57,600 Speaker 1: Then he'll do it right after the season's over. So 466 00:24:57,720 --> 00:24:59,600 Speaker 1: he usually as kind of two March, kind of right 467 00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:02,359 Speaker 1: as the draft is over, and then he'll do it 468 00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:05,119 Speaker 1: again right as the season's over, and then kind of 469 00:25:05,160 --> 00:25:08,800 Speaker 1: taking a look at who the mock drafters out there 470 00:25:09,520 --> 00:25:14,760 Speaker 1: are mocking to the Houston Texans, And I'm always curious 471 00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:19,520 Speaker 1: about that. That's always I love that aspect of thinking 472 00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:25,080 Speaker 1: ahead to what could possibly be here. So thinking ahead 473 00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:30,040 Speaker 1: of twenty twenty two, already here were one, two, three, 474 00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:35,600 Speaker 1: their four names that came up on the mock draft 475 00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:39,639 Speaker 1: surveys that Drew looked at fun six. It looks like 476 00:25:39,680 --> 00:25:41,080 Speaker 1: he had eight or nine of them that he was 477 00:25:41,160 --> 00:25:46,520 Speaker 1: looking at. Five of those surveys had us taken the 478 00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:51,879 Speaker 1: quarterback from Oklahoma. Spencer Rattler played last year as a 479 00:25:51,920 --> 00:25:58,320 Speaker 1: red shirt freshman, had a tremendous season. After Oklahoma had 480 00:25:58,400 --> 00:26:01,679 Speaker 1: taken a couple on the chin, they too Iwa State. 481 00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:05,320 Speaker 1: That was one loss that they had and it was like, man, 482 00:26:06,080 --> 00:26:08,080 Speaker 1: it was not going well, and it looked like in 483 00:26:08,119 --> 00:26:11,280 Speaker 1: the game against University of Texas things were heading in 484 00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:14,920 Speaker 1: that same direction. They had lost to Kansas State in 485 00:26:14,920 --> 00:26:16,879 Speaker 1: the week prior that big lead in that game if 486 00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:20,840 Speaker 1: I remember right, and then lost Iowa State just Breeesall 487 00:26:20,960 --> 00:26:23,719 Speaker 1: just ran away with that one, and the Texas game, 488 00:26:23,800 --> 00:26:26,840 Speaker 1: things aren't going well. In fact, he's replaced by Tanner Morcai. 489 00:26:27,040 --> 00:26:29,840 Speaker 1: I believe it was comes in the game, rather comes 490 00:26:29,880 --> 00:26:32,040 Speaker 1: back in the second half, and from that point forward 491 00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:33,639 Speaker 1: for the rest of the year. Rather it was a 492 00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:37,920 Speaker 1: much much different quarterback. He is not a big guy. 493 00:26:38,040 --> 00:26:41,680 Speaker 1: He's tu hilltop out at six foot six one lucky 494 00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:45,239 Speaker 1: if he's two hundred pounds, tremendous armed talent. Now, as 495 00:26:45,320 --> 00:26:50,400 Speaker 1: we have said many many times on this show, given 496 00:26:50,480 --> 00:26:54,879 Speaker 1: the situation legal though it maybe there's not much we 497 00:26:54,960 --> 00:26:57,480 Speaker 1: could say about how this situation is going to go. 498 00:26:57,760 --> 00:27:02,920 Speaker 1: But we know that Taylor Ryan Finley are signed to 499 00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:05,320 Speaker 1: quarterbacks with the Texans, and we know that Davis Mills 500 00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:10,240 Speaker 1: was drafted in the third round. So Texans being mocked 501 00:27:11,920 --> 00:27:15,680 Speaker 1: two take Spencer Rabbits five of the nine that Drew 502 00:27:15,760 --> 00:27:18,399 Speaker 1: looked at, Spencer Ratler is that guy? Now? Not in 503 00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:21,120 Speaker 1: every one of those with the Texans with a number 504 00:27:21,119 --> 00:27:22,639 Speaker 1: one pick. A couple of the drafts. In fact, I 505 00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:25,960 Speaker 1: saw the one that Dame Bruegler did. The Texans were 506 00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:30,240 Speaker 1: taking the number one overall pick. I don't. I don't 507 00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:32,320 Speaker 1: see that happening. I don't see that the Texans making 508 00:27:32,359 --> 00:27:34,320 Speaker 1: that making a number one pick because I just don't 509 00:27:34,359 --> 00:27:37,000 Speaker 1: see that with with the veterans that are on this roster. 510 00:27:37,040 --> 00:27:39,200 Speaker 1: I don't. I don't see that happening. But there's something 511 00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:43,320 Speaker 1: that do. And Spencer Rattler was the guy they mocked. 512 00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:48,560 Speaker 1: One of those mocked Drafters for twenty twenty two. Had 513 00:27:48,640 --> 00:27:50,840 Speaker 1: us taken the quarterback from North Carolina by the name 514 00:27:50,920 --> 00:27:54,639 Speaker 1: is Sam Howell, Now you give me my druthers. I 515 00:27:54,720 --> 00:27:58,359 Speaker 1: think Spencer Ratlers more talented Sam Howell, but rathers had 516 00:27:58,400 --> 00:28:02,600 Speaker 1: some missions off the field. He he's a very very 517 00:28:02,760 --> 00:28:05,879 Speaker 1: confident going all the way to arrogant kind of guy. 518 00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:08,560 Speaker 1: I don't know how that will fly. But he's grown up, 519 00:28:08,560 --> 00:28:12,400 Speaker 1: he's maturing a little bit. But Sam Howell is rock solid. 520 00:28:12,480 --> 00:28:14,439 Speaker 1: I don't think he's got as much arm talent as Rattler. 521 00:28:14,800 --> 00:28:19,480 Speaker 1: One mock drafter said that Sam Howell would be the 522 00:28:19,600 --> 00:28:22,800 Speaker 1: quarterback that the Texans would look at in the future. 523 00:28:23,320 --> 00:28:27,640 Speaker 1: There was one other quarterback that a mock draft put 524 00:28:27,800 --> 00:28:30,680 Speaker 1: in our clutches and actually did it in the top 525 00:28:30,840 --> 00:28:36,120 Speaker 1: five of the quarterbacks that presumably would be eligible. Now, 526 00:28:36,280 --> 00:28:40,160 Speaker 1: Rattler is a retard sophomore. That's your sophomore, Is that right? Yeah, 527 00:28:40,200 --> 00:28:43,640 Speaker 1: he's a retrod sophomore. Sam Howell is going into his 528 00:28:43,720 --> 00:28:45,520 Speaker 1: third year as a starter. He's a junior. And those 529 00:28:45,520 --> 00:28:47,800 Speaker 1: were those guys were both have to declare. But Desmond 530 00:28:47,840 --> 00:28:51,280 Speaker 1: Ritters a senior. He decided to go back to Cincinnati, 531 00:28:51,320 --> 00:28:53,400 Speaker 1: couldn't declared, but decided to go back to Cincinnati for 532 00:28:53,480 --> 00:28:56,000 Speaker 1: one final year. And I think that's that was that 533 00:28:56,200 --> 00:28:58,280 Speaker 1: was wise. I think there's some things in his game 534 00:28:58,320 --> 00:29:01,920 Speaker 1: he's got to clean up. But Desmond's got some dual 535 00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:04,560 Speaker 1: threat ability, ability to run, makes some place out of 536 00:29:04,600 --> 00:29:07,400 Speaker 1: the pocket. He led Cincinnati all the way to Peach 537 00:29:07,440 --> 00:29:09,400 Speaker 1: Bowl last year where they lost by one to Georgian 538 00:29:09,400 --> 00:29:14,040 Speaker 1: and one heck of a bowl game. Desmond Ritter from 539 00:29:14,120 --> 00:29:18,560 Speaker 1: Cincinnati is the third quarterback that has been mocked to 540 00:29:18,640 --> 00:29:24,560 Speaker 1: the Texans. So three quarterbacks. Rattler, Howell, Ritter mocked the 541 00:29:24,600 --> 00:29:27,760 Speaker 1: Texans for twenty twenty two. Again not us, not me. 542 00:29:28,120 --> 00:29:30,200 Speaker 1: I decided not to do a top twenty five or 543 00:29:30,240 --> 00:29:33,000 Speaker 1: top fifty, and one of those reasons kind of had 544 00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:35,480 Speaker 1: to do with a lot of the guys that end 545 00:29:35,600 --> 00:29:40,800 Speaker 1: up in that mix are you know, draft eligible, but 546 00:29:41,040 --> 00:29:45,400 Speaker 1: they've got one, two, sometimes even three years left, I 547 00:29:45,440 --> 00:29:48,680 Speaker 1: guess in some cases to be on a college campus, 548 00:29:48,840 --> 00:29:51,600 Speaker 1: and I just don't want to put that out there. 549 00:29:51,840 --> 00:29:53,960 Speaker 1: One day, I might do the seniors, but then again, 550 00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:56,120 Speaker 1: after last year, you don't even know who's a senior 551 00:29:56,720 --> 00:29:59,480 Speaker 1: versus who's a junior. It's kind of crazy. So I 552 00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:00,880 Speaker 1: was like, you know what, others hold off on that. 553 00:30:01,600 --> 00:30:03,760 Speaker 1: But I thought these mock drafts were kind of interesting 554 00:30:04,120 --> 00:30:08,160 Speaker 1: that they mocked to the Texans. Those three different quarterbacks 555 00:30:08,200 --> 00:30:12,160 Speaker 1: Oklahoma Spencer Rattler, Sam Howell from North Carolina and Cincinnati's 556 00:30:12,320 --> 00:30:17,880 Speaker 1: Desmond Ritter. Now the guy that I would love. Their 557 00:30:17,920 --> 00:30:22,040 Speaker 1: two guys that I would love to see come to 558 00:30:22,080 --> 00:30:26,440 Speaker 1: the Houston Texans. Now. I think one mock draft that 559 00:30:26,480 --> 00:30:28,480 Speaker 1: I saw and I don't know if Drew's gotten that one, 560 00:30:28,560 --> 00:30:31,640 Speaker 1: and I can't remember who it was that I saw. Oh, 561 00:30:31,720 --> 00:30:35,560 Speaker 1: I know what it was. I was on Pro Football Network. 562 00:30:35,600 --> 00:30:38,200 Speaker 1: I think it is whicheveryone has got Tony Pauline. And 563 00:30:38,320 --> 00:30:40,440 Speaker 1: there was this I don't know how they did it, 564 00:30:40,520 --> 00:30:42,560 Speaker 1: but they had this kind of automatic mock draft. You 565 00:30:42,600 --> 00:30:44,160 Speaker 1: just hit the button and it did the mock draft 566 00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:48,840 Speaker 1: for you. That mock draft and the mock draft mock 567 00:30:48,920 --> 00:30:52,760 Speaker 1: drafters that are in the survey had the two players 568 00:30:52,920 --> 00:30:55,920 Speaker 1: that I would love to come away with for next year. 569 00:30:57,400 --> 00:31:01,440 Speaker 1: PF Networks Profotball Network came up with Derek Stingley, the 570 00:31:01,600 --> 00:31:04,360 Speaker 1: corner from at LSU, who I think is as close 571 00:31:04,400 --> 00:31:06,600 Speaker 1: to Jalen Ramsey as any corner has been. No corner. 572 00:31:06,800 --> 00:31:08,560 Speaker 1: For as much as they want to talk about, oh, 573 00:31:08,680 --> 00:31:10,560 Speaker 1: I want to be like Jalen Ramsey, I want to 574 00:31:10,560 --> 00:31:12,920 Speaker 1: play to jale Ramsey, no corner has been even close 575 00:31:13,640 --> 00:31:17,800 Speaker 1: to Jalen Ramsey as much as Derek Stingley Junior has been. 576 00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:20,479 Speaker 1: He's been a starter from day one at Lsu at corner. 577 00:31:20,880 --> 00:31:26,120 Speaker 1: I think he's phenomenal. He's a guy that in that 578 00:31:26,320 --> 00:31:28,280 Speaker 1: mock draft. He was not of the nine or ten 579 00:31:28,400 --> 00:31:30,480 Speaker 1: that Drew looked at, but the one that I saw, 580 00:31:30,600 --> 00:31:35,120 Speaker 1: Derek Stingley Junior was mocked to the Texans. Two mock 581 00:31:35,240 --> 00:31:40,080 Speaker 1: drafters had the player that I probably right now, if 582 00:31:40,120 --> 00:31:43,760 Speaker 1: you said, hey, you must do this. If you want 583 00:31:43,800 --> 00:31:47,080 Speaker 1: to eat pie for dessert tonight, you've got to fill 584 00:31:47,160 --> 00:31:50,840 Speaker 1: out your top one hundred tonight, I would probably put 585 00:31:50,920 --> 00:31:55,120 Speaker 1: Keve on Thibodeau defensive end from Oregon at number one. 586 00:31:55,920 --> 00:31:58,280 Speaker 1: He's as dynamic and edge players i've seen. He's not 587 00:31:58,400 --> 00:32:01,800 Speaker 1: Miles Garrett because he doesn't have quite that sort of strength. 588 00:32:03,400 --> 00:32:07,520 Speaker 1: He's not two hundred and forty pounds, so he's questionable 589 00:32:07,680 --> 00:32:11,240 Speaker 1: old line outside linebacker versus d n He is a 590 00:32:11,320 --> 00:32:13,440 Speaker 1: true four three defensive and he's about two hundred and 591 00:32:13,440 --> 00:32:17,960 Speaker 1: fifty five pounds, so quick with the first step, so 592 00:32:18,200 --> 00:32:22,560 Speaker 1: dynamic in the backfield. His performance in the Pactuel Championship 593 00:32:22,600 --> 00:32:26,320 Speaker 1: Game last year was on a completely and totally different level. 594 00:32:27,520 --> 00:32:29,600 Speaker 1: He was the number one recruiting a country when he 595 00:32:29,600 --> 00:32:31,920 Speaker 1: went to Oregon. I remember watching my first Oregon game 596 00:32:32,080 --> 00:32:33,680 Speaker 1: a couple of years ago or back in I guess 597 00:32:33,680 --> 00:32:37,040 Speaker 1: twenty nineteen, and I'm like, oh, yeah, they got Cabon Thibodeaux, 598 00:32:37,080 --> 00:32:40,640 Speaker 1: the number one recruit. I wonder what he Oh my gosh, 599 00:32:41,400 --> 00:32:44,640 Speaker 1: this guy is phenomenal. He was great as a freshman. 600 00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:47,920 Speaker 1: I thought even in a short stint in twenty twenty 601 00:32:48,800 --> 00:32:53,080 Speaker 1: he was even that much better. Two mock drafters had 602 00:32:53,160 --> 00:32:57,040 Speaker 1: Cabon Thibodeaux, the defensive and out of Oregon coming to 603 00:32:57,200 --> 00:33:01,800 Speaker 1: the Houston Texans in twenty twenty two. That guy. Unlike 604 00:33:02,040 --> 00:33:05,080 Speaker 1: the defensive players in this draft, I felt like there 605 00:33:05,120 --> 00:33:08,479 Speaker 1: were good defensive players. I don't know if there were 606 00:33:08,560 --> 00:33:12,240 Speaker 1: transcendent guys. I don't know if there were guys that 607 00:33:12,560 --> 00:33:17,360 Speaker 1: would be top of their position in four or five years. 608 00:33:17,760 --> 00:33:21,360 Speaker 1: If I put these defensive players in this draft and 609 00:33:21,520 --> 00:33:23,680 Speaker 1: compared them to players in other drafts, I think they 610 00:33:23,680 --> 00:33:27,200 Speaker 1: would have been a notch notch and a half below 611 00:33:28,720 --> 00:33:33,720 Speaker 1: Stingley and Thibodeau. No way, Stingley and Tibodeau go. I 612 00:33:33,760 --> 00:33:35,400 Speaker 1: don't know if they're going to top They go on 613 00:33:35,480 --> 00:33:38,560 Speaker 1: to Top five now a lot now this year, they 614 00:33:38,640 --> 00:33:40,800 Speaker 1: go to top five this year. This year, with all 615 00:33:40,800 --> 00:33:43,160 Speaker 1: the quarterbacks are there. There will be quarterbacks next year, 616 00:33:43,240 --> 00:33:45,840 Speaker 1: same thing. There'll be a couple that pop up seemingly 617 00:33:45,920 --> 00:33:48,760 Speaker 1: out of nowhere. Whether it's a you know guy, you know, 618 00:33:48,840 --> 00:33:52,600 Speaker 1: quarterback of Liberty, Malik Willis, whether it's J. C. Daniels 619 00:33:52,600 --> 00:33:55,640 Speaker 1: at Georgia, whether it's I don't think Brock Purdy. Yeah, 620 00:33:55,680 --> 00:33:59,600 Speaker 1: he doesn't strike me as a first rounder. But whether 621 00:33:59,680 --> 00:34:02,680 Speaker 1: it's somebody that we're not expecting. There will be four 622 00:34:02,760 --> 00:34:05,479 Speaker 1: or five quarterbacks that will get high acclaim. Whether they 623 00:34:05,560 --> 00:34:08,920 Speaker 1: go in, you know, five in the top fifteen like 624 00:34:09,040 --> 00:34:11,160 Speaker 1: they went this year, I don't know about that. Part 625 00:34:11,200 --> 00:34:13,600 Speaker 1: of the reason those guys were going that high was 626 00:34:13,719 --> 00:34:19,719 Speaker 1: because there weren't any transcendent players at priority positions i e. 627 00:34:19,880 --> 00:34:24,160 Speaker 1: Defensive end, slash edge, or lockdown corners. There were some 628 00:34:24,320 --> 00:34:27,600 Speaker 1: good corners, but there weren't great corners. Derek Stingley was 629 00:34:27,600 --> 00:34:30,960 Speaker 1: a great corner. Cameon. Thibodeau can change the game out 630 00:34:31,000 --> 00:34:34,640 Speaker 1: in the edge. That was not prevalent, nor was it 631 00:34:34,800 --> 00:34:38,040 Speaker 1: even there. Was it even present in this past draft. 632 00:34:38,200 --> 00:34:42,160 Speaker 1: It will be in the following draft. So most mockeds, 633 00:34:42,440 --> 00:34:45,120 Speaker 1: mock drafters, mockters. Hey, that's what we call. From now on. 634 00:34:45,320 --> 00:34:48,680 Speaker 1: Most mock Drafters had a stake in Spencer Ratler. Five 635 00:34:48,760 --> 00:34:51,200 Speaker 1: of the nine, it's one for Sam Howe, one for 636 00:34:51,320 --> 00:34:54,200 Speaker 1: desmid Ritter, and two for Cabon Thibodeau. There'll probably be 637 00:34:54,239 --> 00:34:55,960 Speaker 1: more of those that are coming out. Drew a follow it, 638 00:34:56,480 --> 00:34:58,080 Speaker 1: but just to give kind of an early read on 639 00:34:58,520 --> 00:35:03,200 Speaker 1: what does twenty twenty you provide. I couldn't be more excited. 640 00:35:03,520 --> 00:35:04,800 Speaker 1: First of all, I don't know if I'm more excited 641 00:35:04,840 --> 00:35:08,720 Speaker 1: than Drew. Because next year's draft will be in Las Vegas, 642 00:35:09,280 --> 00:35:10,920 Speaker 1: and the years in which we haven't had a first 643 00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:15,120 Speaker 1: round pick, Drew doesn't go to that location for the draft. Well, 644 00:35:15,520 --> 00:35:18,680 Speaker 1: this year it's in Las Vegas. I texted Drew when 645 00:35:18,680 --> 00:35:20,840 Speaker 1: I saw that. I said, look, man, we gotta do 646 00:35:20,920 --> 00:35:25,200 Speaker 1: whatever possible to make sure that we don't trade away 647 00:35:25,239 --> 00:35:27,759 Speaker 1: first round picks. Man. We gotta have you go to Vegas. Man, 648 00:35:28,120 --> 00:35:29,799 Speaker 1: we need you there, and that's gonna be one heck 649 00:35:29,840 --> 00:35:33,680 Speaker 1: of a trip hopefully, but first and second round picks 650 00:35:33,760 --> 00:35:36,520 Speaker 1: on the docket as of right now. We'll see whether 651 00:35:36,600 --> 00:35:38,960 Speaker 1: that changes. I would hope it doesn't. Hopefully they were more, 652 00:35:39,680 --> 00:35:41,840 Speaker 1: get more of them, start build this thing, get it 653 00:35:41,880 --> 00:35:44,080 Speaker 1: built up. But we'll see what goes on, but a 654 00:35:44,120 --> 00:35:46,440 Speaker 1: lot of mock drafters think in twenty twenty two we 655 00:35:46,480 --> 00:35:50,960 Speaker 1: will take the quarterback out of Oklahoma, Spencer Rattler.

Let's go around the NFL where things continue 677 00:36:57,360 --> 00:37:02,600 Speaker 1: to spin. A special in Green Bay. I got a 678 00:37:02,840 --> 00:37:07,719 Speaker 1: text from my cousin who lives in Green Bay, just 679 00:37:07,880 --> 00:37:11,320 Speaker 1: out of the blue, texted me the other day this 680 00:37:11,920 --> 00:37:13,719 Speaker 1: is how I guess things are going in Green Bay. 681 00:37:14,520 --> 00:37:18,040 Speaker 1: She said to me, you think Aaron Rodgers is coming 682 00:37:18,120 --> 00:37:21,120 Speaker 1: your way? That's the chatter here in Green Bay. I 683 00:37:21,280 --> 00:37:25,160 Speaker 1: almost fell out of my chair. I'm like, I don't 684 00:37:25,719 --> 00:37:29,920 Speaker 1: think that's gonna happen, but my goodness. The Athletic had 685 00:37:29,960 --> 00:37:34,360 Speaker 1: a story today if you haven't seen it, where essentially 686 00:37:34,680 --> 00:37:37,640 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers is taken to Colin. Brian Gouda comes to 687 00:37:37,680 --> 00:37:40,520 Speaker 1: the GM for the Packers Jerry Krause, and if you 688 00:37:40,600 --> 00:37:44,480 Speaker 1: know Jerry Krause is you realize that's not a compliment 689 00:37:45,440 --> 00:37:47,240 Speaker 1: if you look at it the other way. Jerry Kraus 690 00:37:47,440 --> 00:37:50,040 Speaker 1: also put together one of the greatest dynasties of all 691 00:37:50,120 --> 00:37:54,960 Speaker 1: time with the Chicago Bulls in the nineties, the repeat 692 00:37:55,040 --> 00:37:58,640 Speaker 1: three peat as it's put six championships. Jerry Krause put 693 00:37:58,719 --> 00:38:03,879 Speaker 1: that together. They're in Chicago, Brian Goodacus hasn't quite done 694 00:38:03,920 --> 00:38:06,320 Speaker 1: that in Green Bay yet. But if that's Aaron Rodgers 695 00:38:06,440 --> 00:38:10,280 Speaker 1: is saying, away we go. But things are not going 696 00:38:10,840 --> 00:38:15,200 Speaker 1: well in Green Bay right now. I think that's sort 697 00:38:15,239 --> 00:38:18,279 Speaker 1: of an understatement. But man, the more time that goes on, 698 00:38:18,520 --> 00:38:22,479 Speaker 1: the more that we see yikes, Aaron Rodgers is done. 699 00:38:22,600 --> 00:38:26,800 Speaker 1: Now where does Aaron Rodgers go? And how does that 700 00:38:27,040 --> 00:38:29,200 Speaker 1: impact not only the rest of the league, but how 701 00:38:29,200 --> 00:38:31,799 Speaker 1: does an impact the Texans At some point, I don't 702 00:38:31,880 --> 00:38:34,800 Speaker 1: think he's coming here. As my cousin said, and she 703 00:38:35,120 --> 00:38:37,560 Speaker 1: was quick to say afterwards, she says, well, you know, 704 00:38:37,640 --> 00:38:39,640 Speaker 1: it's talk radio. They've got a lot of things to fill, 705 00:38:39,760 --> 00:38:43,719 Speaker 1: and I understand that more than most, so I don't 706 00:38:43,760 --> 00:38:48,560 Speaker 1: know that is it's it is. Certainly want to watch, 707 00:38:49,400 --> 00:38:51,840 Speaker 1: but I'm curious as to what this Aaron Rodgers power 708 00:38:51,880 --> 00:38:54,040 Speaker 1: play will mean. But we're keeping on in Green Bay. 709 00:38:54,480 --> 00:38:56,839 Speaker 1: I always do because obviously that's where I was born 710 00:38:56,920 --> 00:38:58,719 Speaker 1: and my parents lived there, so I was keeping eye 711 00:38:58,719 --> 00:39:02,080 Speaker 1: on him. But man, Aaron Rodgers thing is just it's 712 00:39:02,280 --> 00:39:04,480 Speaker 1: it's crazy for the Packers, and I hate it for 713 00:39:04,520 --> 00:39:09,000 Speaker 1: the Packers, but we'll see. It's gonna be nuts, no doubt. 714 00:39:09,880 --> 00:39:16,000 Speaker 1: Darren Fells former Texan signs with the Detroit Lions. So 715 00:39:16,120 --> 00:39:19,400 Speaker 1: apparently Darren Fells is up for more kneecaps. He returned 716 00:39:19,440 --> 00:39:23,080 Speaker 1: to Detroit. He had been there prior to in twenty 717 00:39:23,200 --> 00:39:27,040 Speaker 1: seventeen he played there, but he goes to Detroit after 718 00:39:27,080 --> 00:39:30,200 Speaker 1: having two very solid seasons with the Texans. I can't 719 00:39:30,239 --> 00:39:33,400 Speaker 1: tell you how much he meant to this team watching 720 00:39:33,520 --> 00:39:36,360 Speaker 1: him each and every day. He was a he was 721 00:39:36,440 --> 00:39:40,600 Speaker 1: the consummate professional and it was it was really fun 722 00:39:40,640 --> 00:39:42,240 Speaker 1: to watch Darren Fells and he had a big impact, 723 00:39:42,320 --> 00:39:45,960 Speaker 1: especially on this team in twenty nineteen. Got this email 724 00:39:46,000 --> 00:39:49,680 Speaker 1: today I thought was interesting and maybe this is I 725 00:39:49,719 --> 00:39:54,000 Speaker 1: don't say more for another time, but I got this 726 00:39:54,200 --> 00:39:56,160 Speaker 1: from the NFL. I got it from their n the 727 00:39:56,280 --> 00:40:01,560 Speaker 1: NFL's research department, and it has to do with scheduling 728 00:40:02,400 --> 00:40:07,960 Speaker 1: May twelfth, next week on this show. At this time, 729 00:40:08,680 --> 00:40:13,279 Speaker 1: we will be leading up to the schedule unveiling Mark 730 00:40:13,320 --> 00:40:15,000 Speaker 1: and I will be doing that show, and then I 731 00:40:15,120 --> 00:40:17,279 Speaker 1: think we're going to be doing a Facebook live show 732 00:40:17,360 --> 00:40:21,600 Speaker 1: at seven to unveil the schedule all seventeen games. So 733 00:40:22,040 --> 00:40:26,920 Speaker 1: the NFL sent and the research department sent this to us, 734 00:40:28,080 --> 00:40:30,560 Speaker 1: and it's essentially a document with all this different research 735 00:40:30,640 --> 00:40:34,720 Speaker 1: they've done on scheduling essentially, and so I was rifling 736 00:40:34,760 --> 00:40:38,840 Speaker 1: through this and I saw the seventeen most compelling games 737 00:40:38,880 --> 00:40:43,480 Speaker 1: of twenty twenty one, like, oh, okay, that's interesting, and 738 00:40:43,640 --> 00:40:45,840 Speaker 1: I'll be honest, I did not expect to see the 739 00:40:45,960 --> 00:40:52,000 Speaker 1: Texans mentioned, and they were with the seventh most compelling 740 00:40:52,120 --> 00:40:54,960 Speaker 1: game of twenty twenty one, and I thought about it. 741 00:40:55,080 --> 00:40:57,200 Speaker 1: I was like, man, how are the texts? I just 742 00:40:57,360 --> 00:41:00,439 Speaker 1: saw the word Texans. I didn't even see the next 743 00:41:00,480 --> 00:41:02,480 Speaker 1: couple of words. And then they saw that one. Oh well, 744 00:41:02,560 --> 00:41:05,200 Speaker 1: could it make sense? But number one on the list 745 00:41:05,320 --> 00:41:08,120 Speaker 1: was Bucks at Patriots. Tom Brady's return to New England. 746 00:41:08,200 --> 00:41:13,799 Speaker 1: Oh boy, wow, that is going to be I don't 747 00:41:13,840 --> 00:41:15,320 Speaker 1: know who we're playing that week, but I just know 748 00:41:15,440 --> 00:41:17,560 Speaker 1: we won't have any media here to see that because 749 00:41:17,560 --> 00:41:20,840 Speaker 1: everybody will be in Foxboro. Number two is Packers at Chiefs. 750 00:41:21,000 --> 00:41:22,719 Speaker 1: I don't know if it stays that way if Aaron 751 00:41:22,800 --> 00:41:25,640 Speaker 1: Rodgers Notwick Green Bay. Number three is Bills at Chiefs 752 00:41:26,080 --> 00:41:30,480 Speaker 1: AFC Championship rematch. Number four is Bills at Buccaneers. That 753 00:41:30,520 --> 00:41:32,400 Speaker 1: could be a pretty good one. Josh Allen versus Tom 754 00:41:32,480 --> 00:41:35,600 Speaker 1: Brady and the Bills that faced Brady many many times. 755 00:41:35,920 --> 00:41:38,920 Speaker 1: Five is Cowboys at Chiefs. You know, Dak Prescott returning 756 00:41:39,000 --> 00:41:42,920 Speaker 1: taken on Patrick Mahomes is pretty good. Number six Seahawks 757 00:41:43,400 --> 00:41:47,800 Speaker 1: versus Rams they faced twice, Russell Wilson and Matt Stafford. 758 00:41:48,360 --> 00:41:51,399 Speaker 1: Number seven, actually the Texas are eight. My bad. Number 759 00:41:51,440 --> 00:41:55,080 Speaker 1: seven Lions at Rams. The two teams consummated a trade 760 00:41:55,239 --> 00:41:59,799 Speaker 1: this offseason, Jared Goff Goner Detroit, Matthew Stafford coming to LA. 761 00:42:00,719 --> 00:42:06,040 Speaker 1: Number eight Texans at Cardinals. Now I have to say 762 00:42:06,160 --> 00:42:11,280 Speaker 1: no more, but those interesting top eight most compelling games 763 00:42:11,920 --> 00:42:15,480 Speaker 1: of twenty twenty one. The Texans mentioned take on the Cardinals. 764 00:42:15,880 --> 00:42:19,080 Speaker 1: I think you can figure out why top eight most 765 00:42:19,120 --> 00:42:21,239 Speaker 1: compelling game of twenty twenty one fish out of top 766 00:42:21,280 --> 00:42:24,120 Speaker 1: ten this one. I saw them nine, I went, wait what, 767 00:42:24,680 --> 00:42:29,040 Speaker 1: and then I saw, oh, this makes sense. Jags at Jets. 768 00:42:30,760 --> 00:42:34,399 Speaker 1: It's like, wait what, Trevor Lawrence v. Zach Wilson. If 769 00:42:34,560 --> 00:42:37,400 Speaker 1: both start, it would be the fourth game in NFL 770 00:42:37,520 --> 00:42:42,040 Speaker 1: history between starting rookie quarterbacks selected one to two overall. 771 00:42:42,080 --> 00:42:46,319 Speaker 1: Winston versus Mariota in fifteen, Manning Leaf in ninety eight, 772 00:42:46,719 --> 00:42:51,279 Speaker 1: Bledsoe Meyer in ninety three. So there you go. Top 773 00:42:51,719 --> 00:42:54,399 Speaker 1: eight compelling games. The Texans have got one of them 774 00:42:54,719 --> 00:42:56,920 Speaker 1: when they go to Arizona take on the Cardinals and 775 00:42:57,000 --> 00:43:00,919 Speaker 1: those awesomely awesome smelling cinnamon nuts in the far corner 776 00:43:00,960 --> 00:43:02,560 Speaker 1: of the end zone. That's the one thing I remember 777 00:43:02,600 --> 00:43:05,360 Speaker 1: from Arizona Stadium. I don't know why, I just remember 778 00:43:05,400 --> 00:43:08,239 Speaker 1: that smell. Ah stayed with me to this day. All right, 779 00:43:08,280 --> 00:43:10,759 Speaker 1: big thanks DP to all of you for listening. Thank 780 00:43:10,800 --> 00:43:13,600 Speaker 1: you very much. We'll see tomorrow everybody. The General joins 781 00:43:13,680 --> 00:43:16,000 Speaker 1: us live right here on Texans. All acts as see 782 00:43:16,000 --> 00:43:17,520 Speaker 1: it then, and it's always go Texans.
