1 00:00:00,760 --> 00:00:03,480 Speaker 1: Welcome to everybody through Wednesday edition of Texans All Access 2 00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:07,280 Speaker 1: from the Honday Texans Radio Studio. I am your host, 3 00:00:07,400 --> 00:00:10,399 Speaker 1: John Harris, and I started this show alongside the Voice 4 00:00:10,440 --> 00:00:14,040 Speaker 1: that Texas, Mark vanderber Mark. How are you, Johnny? Let's go. 5 00:00:14,160 --> 00:00:16,000 Speaker 1: We got another one on Saturday, right we do? How 6 00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:18,799 Speaker 1: about that? It reminds me of the first year of 7 00:00:18,840 --> 00:00:22,040 Speaker 1: Texans history Charlie Casually, because we used to talk to 8 00:00:22,079 --> 00:00:23,840 Speaker 1: him before every game in the pregame show, just like 9 00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:26,000 Speaker 1: you talked to Brian Gaine. And it's like, so we 10 00:00:26,079 --> 00:00:28,320 Speaker 1: got another one, and it was the Kansas City game. 11 00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:31,200 Speaker 1: I remember that was week three of the preseason for 12 00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:32,880 Speaker 1: us because we played in the Hall of Fame game, 13 00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:34,960 Speaker 1: and it's like, we got another one. Let's see what happens. 14 00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:37,600 Speaker 1: Hey see, let's see what happens. Boy, my Charlie Casually's 15 00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:39,760 Speaker 1: off today. Anyway, you get my drift? Do you remember 16 00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:43,960 Speaker 1: how long that preseason five? It was so long because look, 17 00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:46,400 Speaker 1: first of all, I got here in April of that year. 18 00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:48,800 Speaker 1: That's when I arrived in Houston. Now I was here 19 00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:50,680 Speaker 1: for the expansion Draft, but I went back to Miami, 20 00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:54,000 Speaker 1: got my stuff, came back and I can only imagine 21 00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:56,040 Speaker 1: what it was like watching the build up of Texans 22 00:00:56,040 --> 00:00:59,600 Speaker 1: history from nineteen ninety nine September when Bob McNair. So 23 00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:03,200 Speaker 1: it was nineteen years ago that Bob McNair was awarded 24 00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:06,039 Speaker 1: the franchise, right, so next year will be the twentieth 25 00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:08,880 Speaker 1: anniversary of getting that. And it took three years to 26 00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:11,480 Speaker 1: play a game. So you had the unveiling of the 27 00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:13,760 Speaker 1: logo and the name and the colors, and the this 28 00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:15,920 Speaker 1: and the that, hiring of Dom Capers, who was here 29 00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:18,759 Speaker 1: a full year ahead of time, casually here a full 30 00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:22,200 Speaker 1: year ahead of time, and the build up of all 31 00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:24,160 Speaker 1: the events so I could hear in April, and I 32 00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:26,000 Speaker 1: think it's a long time, so I can only imagine 33 00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:27,600 Speaker 1: what it was like to be here. But the preseason, 34 00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:29,960 Speaker 1: the scrimmage with the Cowboys, and the Hall of Fame game, 35 00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:31,440 Speaker 1: and then all the other stuff, and then finally the 36 00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:34,240 Speaker 1: game with Dallas. It's gonna be cool five games. I 37 00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:36,319 Speaker 1: thought about playing in that preseason game, and then I 38 00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:40,080 Speaker 1: thought about the Ravens rookies reporting on July eleventh. Yeah, 39 00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:44,000 Speaker 1: that's ridiculous. No, I'm I'm okay. And by the way, 40 00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:45,440 Speaker 1: when I said it's gonna be cool, I meant like 41 00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:47,600 Speaker 1: playing Dallas again in this building for only the third 42 00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:50,000 Speaker 1: time in franchise history in the regular season. Yeah, that 43 00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:53,520 Speaker 1: is how many preseason games have been in here, bunch, 44 00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:56,200 Speaker 1: you know, several. But it's just and those are fun. 45 00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:58,560 Speaker 1: I gotta say those are fun. It doesn't matter what 46 00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:00,880 Speaker 1: you're playing with the Cowboys, it's going to be enjoyable 47 00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:03,280 Speaker 1: to match up with them and see that uniform in 48 00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:05,880 Speaker 1: your building and then kind of ras the fans a 49 00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:09,360 Speaker 1: little bit in a very positive constructive way. Maybe not really, 50 00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:12,840 Speaker 1: but to me, I mean these regular season matchups. You 51 00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:15,400 Speaker 1: lost last time, he won the first time, so this 52 00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:18,440 Speaker 1: is the third time you've lost both times up there. 53 00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:21,560 Speaker 1: So really you're you're one in four against them, and 54 00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:25,560 Speaker 1: you need to correct that. There's something about playing those guys, 55 00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:29,320 Speaker 1: whether it's one in three my bed one three, one 56 00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:33,000 Speaker 1: oh two lost six, ten and fourteen. Yeah, Yeah, there's 57 00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:34,560 Speaker 1: something about playing them though. And I go back to 58 00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:37,360 Speaker 1: that game in twenty fourteen when we went up there, 59 00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:41,280 Speaker 1: and that was that was my first time. That was 60 00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:43,400 Speaker 1: my first time with the Texans in that building. I've 61 00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:45,480 Speaker 1: been there for the opening of that building when Oklahoma 62 00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:48,840 Speaker 1: played by U. Yeah, in a kickoff like classic up 63 00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:51,800 Speaker 1: there in Jerry World. But the next time I went 64 00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:54,760 Speaker 1: was when the Texans played in that regular season game 65 00:02:54,800 --> 00:03:00,680 Speaker 1: in twenty fourteen, and I was I didn't remember the 66 00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:03,280 Speaker 1: twenty ten game much. I just remember the cow the 67 00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:06,720 Speaker 1: Texans at that time. I think we're, oh, they had 68 00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:09,280 Speaker 1: they had a good record, like two and oh. I 69 00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:12,120 Speaker 1: think heading into the Dallas game or the Giants game 70 00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:14,320 Speaker 1: I came, remember they were like two and Giants there 71 00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:16,440 Speaker 1: were three and one going to Dallas, right, three and one, 72 00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:19,079 Speaker 1: and then Dallas just put it on them that day 73 00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:23,240 Speaker 1: in twenty ten. That was, Oh, you're thinking of what 74 00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:28,160 Speaker 1: happened here? Okay, the Giants were first, Giants first, and 75 00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:30,480 Speaker 1: then the Cowboys came, and you're right. It was I 76 00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:34,560 Speaker 1: think two and one and then maybe three three. I 77 00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:36,920 Speaker 1: think it was three and one. But the Giants really 78 00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:39,920 Speaker 1: beat the Texans bad ladies. And then the Cowboys beat 79 00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:43,160 Speaker 1: the Texans badly. That's when you started seeing And I 80 00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:45,920 Speaker 1: didn't remember that twenty ten game much. I think I've 81 00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:48,600 Speaker 1: blocked in one from my memory. I will never forget 82 00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:51,880 Speaker 1: the twenty fourteen game. Yeah, never forget that. That was 83 00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:54,160 Speaker 1: as close to a fifty fifty crowd as I've ever seen, 84 00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:56,040 Speaker 1: and I don't believe that's gonna happen here. I don't 85 00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:58,280 Speaker 1: believe that can happen. It's not gonna happen here. It's 86 00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:01,040 Speaker 1: not gonna happen. I just don't think there's any possibly, 87 00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:05,200 Speaker 1: although you're gonna see the wolves disguised in Sheep's clothing. 88 00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:09,000 Speaker 1: Because there are some Texans season ticket members, and thank 89 00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:11,360 Speaker 1: you very much for your business, but there are some 90 00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:14,240 Speaker 1: Texans season ticket members. And I remember doing talk radio 91 00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:16,599 Speaker 1: about this and being so perplexed. But it does happen 92 00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:20,200 Speaker 1: where they are Cowboys fans, but since they live in Houston, 93 00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:22,800 Speaker 1: they support the Texans, and we are the Texans gear 94 00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:26,240 Speaker 1: on game day, and so some of them will come 95 00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:29,120 Speaker 1: to the game and they're Cowboys gear because this is 96 00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:30,960 Speaker 1: where this is the only time I roof in the 97 00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:33,320 Speaker 1: Cowboys when they're not playing the Texans or when they 98 00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:35,520 Speaker 1: play the Texans, and so you're gonna see some of that. 99 00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:37,800 Speaker 1: Now that might be a minority, but there will be 100 00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:39,560 Speaker 1: some of that. So you're gonna have certain season ticket 101 00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:43,279 Speaker 1: members who are sitting next to their neighbors they thought 102 00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:45,839 Speaker 1: they knew ye And then you come to the game 103 00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:50,480 Speaker 1: and at Dallas, Jersey. My gosh, that's awful. Now, because 104 00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:52,280 Speaker 1: I have spent a long time in the world of 105 00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:55,279 Speaker 1: college football, that's not too unusual. I've seen plenty of 106 00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:58,920 Speaker 1: fan bases do that. In LSU in particular, really where 107 00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:01,599 Speaker 1: they'll buy a season tic it's in different locations. Fans 108 00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:03,520 Speaker 1: will buy season tickets in different locations just so they 109 00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:07,000 Speaker 1: get the one game one. Yeah, they're traffics, especially since 110 00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:09,479 Speaker 1: the affordability of some of these schools. You know, like 111 00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:11,800 Speaker 1: if you buy a Rice season ticket, if Rice happens 112 00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:13,520 Speaker 1: to have a big time opponent in there, they buy 113 00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:15,800 Speaker 1: a Rice season ticket, might be the cost of one 114 00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:19,159 Speaker 1: really great ticket and ruig or something. Yeah, So that's 115 00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:21,520 Speaker 1: and some LSU fans don't They don't even get a 116 00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:23,600 Speaker 1: chance to go to the home games, so they'll just 117 00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:25,440 Speaker 1: go to that that one road game, but they get 118 00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:27,800 Speaker 1: the seasons. So I'm I'm using ls US an example. 119 00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:29,800 Speaker 1: They're not the only ones. But in the SEC I 120 00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:31,840 Speaker 1: knew of plenty when I was living in Florida, there 121 00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:34,679 Speaker 1: were plenty of fans that But I knew some Gators 122 00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:38,880 Speaker 1: fans that had seminal season tickets and then they would 123 00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:40,520 Speaker 1: get that one game at the end of the year, 124 00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:42,560 Speaker 1: and even year, at the end of an even year, 125 00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:45,839 Speaker 1: they would get that's gotta be a that's a state 126 00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:50,880 Speaker 1: law right there that you're breaking. It should be But yeah, 127 00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:54,000 Speaker 1: they would, they would do it. And I want I 128 00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:56,680 Speaker 1: want to say that a friend of mine had those 129 00:05:56,720 --> 00:05:58,120 Speaker 1: and that's how I got to go to the ninety 130 00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:01,960 Speaker 1: six game. He had he had tickets and oh no, yeah, 131 00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:03,760 Speaker 1: he had tickets and he wasn't using them for some reason. 132 00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:05,479 Speaker 1: He had to go to town because it was Thanksgiving 133 00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:07,040 Speaker 1: it so he's like, you want to go, and I 134 00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:10,640 Speaker 1: was like, sure, one versus two? Yeah, yeah, I'm going. 135 00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:12,000 Speaker 1: It was the game that they beat the you know 136 00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:14,720 Speaker 1: what on a wharful, and it was just it was 137 00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:18,320 Speaker 1: an amazing afternoon. But they did that. They had tickets, 138 00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:21,000 Speaker 1: they had great take, they had great, great seats too. 139 00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:23,520 Speaker 1: So there were a few Gators fans that had them 140 00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:26,120 Speaker 1: for seminals. I don't think the seminals could get tickets 141 00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:28,320 Speaker 1: for Gators, but there were a lot of Gators fans 142 00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:30,800 Speaker 1: that ended up getting their seminals road tickets through through 143 00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:33,080 Speaker 1: that particular Florida state. In Miami. Even though it's a 144 00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:35,120 Speaker 1: big rivalry, they kind of respect each other and they 145 00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:37,960 Speaker 1: like each other because they both consider themselves more of 146 00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:41,400 Speaker 1: a working class, kind of blue collar, even though the 147 00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:45,440 Speaker 1: Hurricanes are a private university, but the program itself, they 148 00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:47,480 Speaker 1: kind of feel like, yeah, we sort of do it 149 00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:50,440 Speaker 1: the hard way. By the way, Miami has an indoor facility, 150 00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:53,520 Speaker 1: now go kin, really, yes, they do very nice. Mark 151 00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:56,000 Speaker 1: Rick had a boy, that's what you need? You know? 152 00:06:56,000 --> 00:07:00,720 Speaker 1: Who flashed me to you today? John Pegano brother Conal. Yeah, well, 153 00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:02,520 Speaker 1: Chuck was here last week. He probably you know, I 154 00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:05,760 Speaker 1: think I talked to John about knowing Chuck before John 155 00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:07,960 Speaker 1: early on, but you know, I probably brought it home 156 00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:10,640 Speaker 1: for him when Chuck was here, and John evermant at 157 00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:14,040 Speaker 1: Miami no, but Chuck probably said, yeah, so how we 158 00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:15,880 Speaker 1: know each other? We go back there and so now 159 00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:19,080 Speaker 1: he looks at me as a you guy. I've still 160 00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:21,680 Speaker 1: seeing Chuck Pogono in Texans gear. I mean, it's taking 161 00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:23,640 Speaker 1: me a while just to get John Pogano in Texans game. 162 00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:26,160 Speaker 1: I know it seeing Chuck and Texans it was it 163 00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:28,360 Speaker 1: was freaky. It was freaky because you're so used to 164 00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:31,240 Speaker 1: seeing him as the Colts coach. Yeah, I know, you know, 165 00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:34,640 Speaker 1: last time, last time we physically saw him.

We 184 00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:34,680 Speaker 1: had a nice little a nice little gift from the 185 00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:38,520 Speaker 1: wide receiver gods today in that Sammy Coats back at 186 00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:42,040 Speaker 1: practice after concussion is reported with concussion was back at 187 00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:46,760 Speaker 1: practice today, but also rookie Kiki Qt back at practice. 188 00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:49,160 Speaker 1: I'll ask you a question. The triple threat guys asked me. 189 00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:52,199 Speaker 1: They didn't ask me about QT in particular, but they 190 00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:54,160 Speaker 1: asked me about what I was excited about, and I 191 00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:56,280 Speaker 1: said that QT was one of the one of the 192 00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:58,840 Speaker 1: things that you're really excited about in game three. Agree 193 00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:01,560 Speaker 1: or disagree Qt, you have your eyes. You'll definitely because 194 00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:03,800 Speaker 1: the ball will find him in some way. But I 195 00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:05,920 Speaker 1: don't know how much you'll play. But how excited are 196 00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:08,200 Speaker 1: you to see him get out in NFL game action? 197 00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:12,479 Speaker 1: Very excited. I don't want to see too much schematically 198 00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:15,520 Speaker 1: revealed here, and I don't think you know Bill O'Brien's 199 00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:17,400 Speaker 1: gonna do that, but you do have to take QT 200 00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:20,760 Speaker 1: for a little test drive if you possibly can, Because Johnny, 201 00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:22,520 Speaker 1: I've said it from the get go, and I really 202 00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:25,720 Speaker 1: thought this, and look, I'm no John Harris watching video, 203 00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:29,959 Speaker 1: but when I watched his highlights the day we drafted him, 204 00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:33,040 Speaker 1: I thought this guy's gonna play. This guy's gonna play, 205 00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:35,680 Speaker 1: and I think this guy might start. I really felt 206 00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:37,920 Speaker 1: that there was something about him. He just had this 207 00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:42,640 Speaker 1: look about him, and the look definitely carried into OTAs 208 00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:45,520 Speaker 1: and definitely over to the Greenbrier. Then he gets hurt. 209 00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:48,560 Speaker 1: So I'm really excited to see him play, and I 210 00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:50,760 Speaker 1: think that he's got a chance to play a lot 211 00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:54,760 Speaker 1: against the New England Patriots. Ironically, it was his best game. 212 00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:56,960 Speaker 1: I think the best game of his career was when 213 00:09:56,960 --> 00:10:00,000 Speaker 1: we were flying to New England to play New England. 214 00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:02,599 Speaker 1: Oh boy, and he has who are they playing? It 215 00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:05,840 Speaker 1: was eleven or twelve catch game against University Houston and 216 00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:07,839 Speaker 1: we were all watching it on the plane up there. 217 00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:09,240 Speaker 1: We're all watching it. I mean, he had it's it's 218 00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:12,719 Speaker 1: an afternoon game, which I think in Houston should be 219 00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:14,840 Speaker 1: outlawed in September, but it was a little bit later 220 00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:16,880 Speaker 1: in September because we went to It was yeah, we three, 221 00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:18,880 Speaker 1: we were flying in New England and he was playing 222 00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:20,800 Speaker 1: it and was phenomenal. In fact, he had the game 223 00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:23,080 Speaker 1: winning catch on a deep ball and I just remember 224 00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:26,360 Speaker 1: them talking about and I always remember guys by numbers 225 00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:29,040 Speaker 1: like I remember guy wears number twelve. He wears number four. 226 00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:31,040 Speaker 1: I remember that. What do they wear In college? He 227 00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:33,719 Speaker 1: wore eighty two, then he wore twenty, and then he 228 00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:37,040 Speaker 1: worked two. Yeah, so he wore three different numbers. And 229 00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:38,720 Speaker 1: so it completely threw me off because I keep seeing 230 00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:41,160 Speaker 1: number two like make all these plays and I'm like, 231 00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:43,600 Speaker 1: who is this guy? He's new to the roster, Like 232 00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:45,480 Speaker 1: what's going on? And They're like, oh, it's Keqt, And 233 00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:48,280 Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, he's been around, But it was that 234 00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:52,840 Speaker 1: year last year where he was It was just outstanding 235 00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:54,720 Speaker 1: in every way, shape or form. Not that I did 236 00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:57,000 Speaker 1: not trust our PR department because they are dead on 237 00:10:57,080 --> 00:10:59,520 Speaker 1: with this stuff with pronunciations, but I did double check 238 00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:01,520 Speaker 1: with him. I wanted to make sure it wasn't cut 239 00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:05,280 Speaker 1: or because Bill O'Brien has said it twelve different ways 240 00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:08,360 Speaker 1: so far, and I really I know never to trust 241 00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:10,680 Speaker 1: a coach or a general manager with pronunciation. You know, 242 00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:13,000 Speaker 1: trust him with other things, but not with their pronunciation. 243 00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:15,920 Speaker 1: As a play by player, man, I learned this years ago, 244 00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:18,199 Speaker 1: So I asked him. He said, yeah, letters Q and 245 00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:21,520 Speaker 1: t QT. That's I'm like, okay. The funniest thing is 246 00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:23,400 Speaker 1: they were talking about it on the broadcast. I'll there 247 00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:25,800 Speaker 1: forget they were talking about. They're like, it's literally QT. 248 00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:30,760 Speaker 1: The letters like QT that's QT or QT. Yeah it's QT. 249 00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:33,720 Speaker 1: I mean he's got the best name. Yeah, it's not 250 00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:38,880 Speaker 1: only not only that, because of the whole Drake driving. 251 00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:40,720 Speaker 1: I don't even know what that thing's called.

Drew and I 333 00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:34,680 Speaker 1: will talk number four next right here in Texans All Access. 334 00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:01,240 Speaker 1: It is a Wednesday edition of Texas All Access from 335 00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:04,640 Speaker 1: the Hounday Texans Radio Studio. I'm your hostess Evening, John Harris, 336 00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:08,080 Speaker 1: glad to be with you, and we are well, we're 337 00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:10,560 Speaker 1: cackling a little bit at Christian Covington. Who is we well, 338 00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:15,080 Speaker 1: Like I said, I'm John Harris alongside abrosiph Drew Doherty. Drew, 339 00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:19,440 Speaker 1: it's amazing Christian. I mean it's like he's there's so 340 00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:21,640 Speaker 1: many ways you can go with it. It's like his 341 00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:24,960 Speaker 1: head he's got like an encephalitis, you know, so his 342 00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:29,840 Speaker 1: head's expanded. But then he's got one of those glue 343 00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:32,800 Speaker 1: masks that he can rip off, you know. Yeah, like 344 00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:34,520 Speaker 1: when a guy breaks his nose in basketball and he 345 00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:36,520 Speaker 1: still wants to wear the mask. Yeah that like fan 346 00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:38,480 Speaker 1: of the opera masks. Yeah, this is like it's like 347 00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:43,960 Speaker 1: glued on and yeah, and he's got a bad light 348 00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:46,440 Speaker 1: goatee because he doesn't wear he doesn't have a gotie. No, 349 00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:51,120 Speaker 1: he doesn't. If you go to at the tangible C four. 350 00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:54,840 Speaker 1: That's Christian coving Is twitter handled. Earlier today around lunchtime, 351 00:16:55,320 --> 00:17:01,400 Speaker 1: he tweeted a picture of his Madden avatar and the 352 00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:06,720 Speaker 1: body looks fine, the head doesn't look anything like it, 353 00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:11,879 Speaker 1: and he's taking some pretty intense ribbing seemingly from his 354 00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:15,920 Speaker 1: teammates to Shawn Watson tweeted also about it. So we're 355 00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:17,399 Speaker 1: just kind of chuckling. And the thing about it is 356 00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:20,440 Speaker 1: Christian ends up being he's the He's the best dude 357 00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:24,720 Speaker 1: you're gonna find. But I find it. I've just see 358 00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:27,360 Speaker 1: this picture, just Craig. It cracks me up. So we're 359 00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:30,119 Speaker 1: laughing a little bit at Christian Covington, who has been 360 00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:34,760 Speaker 1: all kinds of fantastic in this training camp. Drew, we obviously, 361 00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:37,440 Speaker 1: you know, we we'll talk on Friday probably a little bit, 362 00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:40,160 Speaker 1: and I know you'll have your five things to watch 363 00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:42,080 Speaker 1: as you do for each and every preseason and regular 364 00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:47,040 Speaker 1: season game. But the thought that everybody could play in 365 00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:50,120 Speaker 1: this game, are you surprised by that? You're nervous by 366 00:17:50,119 --> 00:17:52,960 Speaker 1: that does that slightly nervous a little bit, but just 367 00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:56,160 Speaker 1: just just because of the the preseason injury. Ass I'm 368 00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:58,720 Speaker 1: not nervous, but that's gonna happen, an That's what I 369 00:17:58,720 --> 00:18:00,840 Speaker 1: mean by nervous. That's the only thing that I that 370 00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:03,840 Speaker 1: I mean by that because I hope my breath every play. 371 00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:06,639 Speaker 1: Just everybody get up and play. Everybody be okay. I 372 00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:08,600 Speaker 1: mean that moment of watching Kevin Johnson the ground the 373 00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:10,800 Speaker 1: other night was just whether that was a regular season 374 00:18:10,840 --> 00:18:13,480 Speaker 1: game or preseason game, it wouldn't matter from that standpoint, 375 00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:15,879 Speaker 1: but just knowing it's a preseason game, yeah, you just 376 00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:18,040 Speaker 1: want everybody to get up. Well, I still don't you know, 377 00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:24,040 Speaker 1: he's Bill O'Brien said that on Tuesday. He said that 378 00:18:24,600 --> 00:18:27,439 Speaker 1: if if if all the healthy guys are gonna play, 379 00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:30,440 Speaker 1: that still doesn't necessarily mean that everybody's gonna play. That's 380 00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:33,360 Speaker 1: still good point. Don't be surprised if there's a still 381 00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:35,639 Speaker 1: a few guys that you don't see out there on 382 00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:40,120 Speaker 1: the field, like Clowney might not play. He could play, 383 00:18:40,280 --> 00:18:42,719 Speaker 1: he might not play, though, I mean, don't don't be 384 00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:45,560 Speaker 1: surprised if some of the big guns still are not 385 00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:48,840 Speaker 1: out there. It's all about being ready, being in peak 386 00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:53,000 Speaker 1: prime physical condition for Week one at New England. I 387 00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:55,760 Speaker 1: thought it was interesting that and then I thought about 388 00:18:55,760 --> 00:18:58,480 Speaker 1: it later on the other night. Ruben Foster for the 389 00:18:58,600 --> 00:19:01,080 Speaker 1: forty nine ers, who I think talking about Jim Gropol 390 00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:02,960 Speaker 1: and the quarterbacks end up being a different discussion, but 391 00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:07,880 Speaker 1: just non quarterback. I think Rubert Foster is maybe maybe 392 00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:11,560 Speaker 1: the most valuable and the best player that San Francisco has. 393 00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:13,879 Speaker 1: It's not named Jimmy Garoppolo, and he played every single 394 00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:16,000 Speaker 1: player the first half. And then I thought, oh, wait 395 00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:18,359 Speaker 1: a second, he I think is suspended for the first 396 00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:20,159 Speaker 1: couple of games that they want to get him some work. 397 00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:21,520 Speaker 1: So they were wanting to get him some work, and 398 00:19:21,560 --> 00:19:23,320 Speaker 1: so every time I kept seeing him out there, I 399 00:19:23,359 --> 00:19:25,880 Speaker 1: wanted him off the field because I'm like, this guy 400 00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:29,000 Speaker 1: is a heat seeking missile. Somebody's gonna get tad dude 401 00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:32,600 Speaker 1: at some point, but I'd like to see him off 402 00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:34,280 Speaker 1: the field. But then I remembered he was being he 403 00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:37,880 Speaker 1: suspended for I think the first two games of the year, 404 00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:40,200 Speaker 1: maybe first three, but I think it's first two or 405 00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:41,760 Speaker 1: three games. Either way, they wanted to get us some 406 00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:44,439 Speaker 1: work because he's gonna be gone after next week, so 407 00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:46,359 Speaker 1: they're trying to get him ready to go because obviously 408 00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:48,320 Speaker 1: he's gonna have to ramp down. But the Texans got 409 00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:51,720 Speaker 1: in that situation at all. So I'm with you, I'm 410 00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:53,800 Speaker 1: I would love to see Clownie play. Obviously, he had 411 00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:57,720 Speaker 1: a tremendous, tremendous game against LA last time. Yeah, they 412 00:19:57,720 --> 00:20:00,920 Speaker 1: gotta they had to hold him to get their first 413 00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:02,720 Speaker 1: their touchdown. They kind of broke the game up. And 414 00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:06,280 Speaker 1: then yeah, that ninety four yard or from Robert Jared 415 00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:09,760 Speaker 1: Goff to Robert Woods. Yeah, I've I've heard, and I 416 00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:11,280 Speaker 1: can't remember where I heard this. I don't know if 417 00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:13,439 Speaker 1: I was listening to radio or podcast or whatever. The 418 00:20:13,560 --> 00:20:17,119 Speaker 1: Rams may not play anybody's entire preseason, just forget it. 419 00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:19,320 Speaker 1: Not playing Marcus Peters and I'm not playing a keep 420 00:20:19,359 --> 00:20:22,080 Speaker 1: to leave. Obviously, Aaron Donald is not back in camp, 421 00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:25,200 Speaker 1: not playing Jared Goff. They're practicing well. McVeigh on Tuesday 422 00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:27,280 Speaker 1: said they're not game planning. They're not even game planning 423 00:20:27,320 --> 00:20:29,600 Speaker 1: for the Texans. Yeah, they're doing I mean, as you expect. 424 00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:31,800 Speaker 1: They're doing their bass offense, defense, but they're not even 425 00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:36,200 Speaker 1: looking really or or doing any anything in preparation for 426 00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:39,320 Speaker 1: this team. They're they're focusing probably as you should, on 427 00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:41,680 Speaker 1: themselves and what they need to do, and they'll they'll 428 00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:44,800 Speaker 1: focus on the Raiders because the Raiders, interestingly enough, they 429 00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:46,840 Speaker 1: play a game two against the Raiders last week and 430 00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:49,960 Speaker 1: then play the opener against the Raiders. Yeah, so there 431 00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:52,879 Speaker 1: were I think the list when I turned that game on, 432 00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:56,240 Speaker 1: I'm going, I don't recognize anybody, and I know pretty 433 00:20:56,280 --> 00:20:58,600 Speaker 1: much everybody. I don't recognize anybody. I'm looking around, going 434 00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:01,880 Speaker 1: where where is everybody? Yeah. John Kelly, the rookie running 435 00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:03,639 Speaker 1: back for the Rams, is getting all kinds of carriers 436 00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:05,959 Speaker 1: in the first quarter, and I'm thinking, my goodness. Then 437 00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:07,520 Speaker 1: they showed the list of players that we're not playing 438 00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:09,840 Speaker 1: on any either side. But then it made sense that 439 00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:12,560 Speaker 1: they were playing Week one, which I find one of 440 00:21:12,560 --> 00:21:15,080 Speaker 1: the more fascinating Week one matchups because that game is 441 00:21:15,119 --> 00:21:18,040 Speaker 1: on Monday Night Football. It's the second they do that 442 00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:21,240 Speaker 1: doubleheader on Week one on Monday Night Football, and so 443 00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:23,040 Speaker 1: the Ramps and Raiders have got the second one, which 444 00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:24,919 Speaker 1: would be kind of interesting. And I thought about that 445 00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:27,920 Speaker 1: after the fact about John Gruden. How much information do 446 00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:31,720 Speaker 1: you think coaches and players shared with Gruden last year 447 00:21:32,119 --> 00:21:35,000 Speaker 1: that he ends up using in some way, shape or 448 00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:37,640 Speaker 1: form to help him this year. There was always a 449 00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:42,320 Speaker 1: guardedness around Gruden, I would imagine, yeah, not just from 450 00:21:42,359 --> 00:21:45,120 Speaker 1: the current regime, but from the previous regime. And I 451 00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:48,040 Speaker 1: think that's probably a common thing around the league because 452 00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:51,600 Speaker 1: when you're dealing with young coaches, you don't want to 453 00:21:51,600 --> 00:21:54,239 Speaker 1: say too much. Now, when it was John Nadden, I 454 00:21:54,240 --> 00:21:56,200 Speaker 1: think he probably were a little more open, You're a 455 00:21:56,240 --> 00:21:58,239 Speaker 1: little more forthcoming. Pretty much figured he was not going 456 00:21:58,359 --> 00:21:59,800 Speaker 1: he wasn't gonna come back. You didn't have to worry 457 00:21:59,800 --> 00:22:02,840 Speaker 1: about him. But yeah, there was always with guys that 458 00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:05,919 Speaker 1: you kind of think, think might segue into that that 459 00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:09,320 Speaker 1: line of work. You're never gonna give up everything. Yeah, 460 00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:12,159 Speaker 1: that's probably You're probably right. I mean some some I 461 00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:14,840 Speaker 1: would think even with a guy like Tony Romo, I 462 00:22:14,840 --> 00:22:17,879 Speaker 1: mean I would think it's over for Romo. But I 463 00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:20,639 Speaker 1: wouldn't even think with a guy like him that maybe 464 00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:23,880 Speaker 1: you don't share everything in some sense, because he still 465 00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:25,600 Speaker 1: might be a free agent. You could still see him 466 00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:28,920 Speaker 1: playing football exactly. I mean in a year, and I 467 00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:32,200 Speaker 1: don't know, I mean, look, is it probable, No, it's 468 00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:34,040 Speaker 1: probably not gonna happen. But I bet it was like 469 00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:38,840 Speaker 1: that with Aikman back in like two thousand one, segueing 470 00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:40,760 Speaker 1: straight in front because he had offers to play. And 471 00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:43,000 Speaker 1: I wouldn't be surprised if at some point with Gruden 472 00:22:44,320 --> 00:22:46,880 Speaker 1: that maybe some coaches are like, Wow, he's been doing 473 00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:48,600 Speaker 1: this for a while. Okay, maybe this is legit. Maybe 474 00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:50,920 Speaker 1: he's staying. But there were always rumors about him going back. 475 00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:53,159 Speaker 1: So he had that office in Tampa that was it 476 00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:57,760 Speaker 1: was well nut or tam it was. Yeah, he would 477 00:22:57,760 --> 00:23:00,800 Speaker 1: just break down film all the time. That, yeah, exactly. 478 00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:04,359 Speaker 1: So Anyhow, the Rams and Raiders, they didn't really they 479 00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:06,960 Speaker 1: didn't show anybody, and they didn't play anybody didn't show anything, 480 00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:08,800 Speaker 1: and I would imagine I would imagine this was gonna 481 00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:11,199 Speaker 1: be the same way. So at that point, and I 482 00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:14,040 Speaker 1: know some people get frustrated the preseason games. I want 483 00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:16,520 Speaker 1: to say, somebody I saw it tweeted to you. You 484 00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:19,240 Speaker 1: had put something on Twitter about, you know, don't expect 485 00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:23,000 Speaker 1: these players to play, and then some fan had said, well, 486 00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:25,240 Speaker 1: what kind of respect is that for the fans that 487 00:23:25,280 --> 00:23:26,960 Speaker 1: they paid the tickets and these players are not going 488 00:23:27,040 --> 00:23:29,240 Speaker 1: to play, And like, I don't think it was to me. No, 489 00:23:29,359 --> 00:23:31,199 Speaker 1: I know you're talking about that. Yeah, I mean I 490 00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:32,960 Speaker 1: thought it was to you because you just all all 491 00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:35,480 Speaker 1: you did was just put off the thought. I thought 492 00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:37,640 Speaker 1: it was you, But maybe it's somebody else. But just 493 00:23:37,680 --> 00:23:39,399 Speaker 1: saying that you'd blame for a lot of stuff and 494 00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:42,160 Speaker 1: suspected up a lot of things, blaming you for it, 495 00:23:42,200 --> 00:23:43,840 Speaker 1: all right, I'm not blaming you for it. The only 496 00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:45,680 Speaker 1: thing I blame you for is telling the cold story 497 00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:47,840 Speaker 1: all the time. But you always try to sneak that 498 00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:49,680 Speaker 1: in at some point. But has you have you heard 499 00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:52,600 Speaker 1: though about the time? Okay? For the people that haven't 500 00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:54,720 Speaker 1: heard it, do you want to share it or do 501 00:23:54,760 --> 00:23:59,120 Speaker 1: you want to? I mean I saw this on Facebook, Okay, Brittany. 502 00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:01,199 Speaker 1: It's a picture of Britney Spears and there's just writing 503 00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:03,840 Speaker 1: over it. Britney Spears was at Coles one time and 504 00:24:03,960 --> 00:24:05,600 Speaker 1: there was a lady in front of her with a son, 505 00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:09,600 Speaker 1: young boy in Lyne. And the young boy was reading 506 00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:11,920 Speaker 1: off the register and he said ten dollars and fifty 507 00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:16,360 Speaker 1: cents plus one dollar and fifty cents is twelve dollars, mommy. 508 00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:18,920 Speaker 1: And the mom was very embarrassed, and she sheepishly turned 509 00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:20,920 Speaker 1: around to Britney Spears because she knew was Britney Spears. 510 00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:24,119 Speaker 1: She said, I'm sorry he he loves math, and Britney 511 00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:28,400 Speaker 1: looked at her and forcefully said, don't be embarrassed. Math 512 00:24:28,560 --> 00:24:32,720 Speaker 1: is important. And then that boy grew up to be 513 00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:37,840 Speaker 1: Steve Jobs. So that's how that goes. That's absolutely Did 514 00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:39,760 Speaker 1: you get a chance to see the stories on sim 515 00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:41,880 Speaker 1: luch Report about the shop? As a matter of fact, 516 00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:44,879 Speaker 1: I did, and I tweeted about him. There were excellent stories. 517 00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:47,200 Speaker 1: I learned a little bit more about the guy, and 518 00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:51,239 Speaker 1: one fan tweeted back to me and talking about how 519 00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:54,520 Speaker 1: excited he is to see Deshaun Watson and what I 520 00:24:54,520 --> 00:24:55,879 Speaker 1: thought of the stories, and da da da, And I 521 00:24:56,440 --> 00:25:01,800 Speaker 1: just said, everything that I read aligns with what I've 522 00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:06,800 Speaker 1: seen firsthand. And there there's some remarkable stories in there, 523 00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:09,560 Speaker 1: and none of them surprised me, right, you know, because 524 00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:12,040 Speaker 1: that's who this guy is. That's how remarkable this guy is. 525 00:25:12,080 --> 00:25:14,760 Speaker 1: So yeah, wait, I've told the story many times about 526 00:25:14,760 --> 00:25:17,159 Speaker 1: being in here a Memorial Day weekend, the friday before 527 00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:19,879 Speaker 1: Memorial Day, guys had a four day weekend and he 528 00:25:19,920 --> 00:25:22,600 Speaker 1: was in the weight room in twenty seventeen, ye as 529 00:25:22,600 --> 00:25:26,080 Speaker 1: a rookie. Yeah, as a rookie. The Bleacher Report story 530 00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:29,640 Speaker 1: was was pretty amazing to learn more of the background, 531 00:25:29,720 --> 00:25:32,080 Speaker 1: especially when he was high school. The courtroom job thing 532 00:25:32,119 --> 00:25:34,560 Speaker 1: was the one that leaked out to me. He got 533 00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:37,960 Speaker 1: a job because his mom was going through tongue cancer. 534 00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:40,960 Speaker 1: You know, they were bill you know, the bills were 535 00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:43,440 Speaker 1: piling up and it was tough. So to help out 536 00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:47,720 Speaker 1: on the side, Deshaun Watson would go work at the 537 00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:50,640 Speaker 1: county court courthouse or the city courthouse it was nearby, 538 00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:53,640 Speaker 1: and he did grunt work like printing stuff up files, 539 00:25:53,840 --> 00:25:55,840 Speaker 1: you know, doing that, Yeah, and all the stuff that 540 00:25:55,880 --> 00:26:00,320 Speaker 1: people don't want to do. He basically didn't how about family. 541 00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:02,719 Speaker 1: As a high school senior, in addition to going to school, 542 00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:06,840 Speaker 1: in addition to and getting good grades and leading the 543 00:26:06,880 --> 00:26:08,760 Speaker 1: football team and being a football player, he was he 544 00:26:08,800 --> 00:26:11,040 Speaker 1: had a job on the side. And that's common for 545 00:26:11,040 --> 00:26:12,200 Speaker 1: a lot of people, a lot of you out there 546 00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:14,639 Speaker 1: listening or working right now, and we recognize that, but 547 00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:18,520 Speaker 1: it's not common for five star recruits who are going 548 00:26:18,560 --> 00:26:20,080 Speaker 1: to have a free ridey college to go out and 549 00:26:20,080 --> 00:26:22,040 Speaker 1: do that and did not even tell your coach that 550 00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:24,160 Speaker 1: you're doing it. I mean, his coach his coach didn't 551 00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:26,159 Speaker 1: even know. He just did it. He just did it 552 00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:27,760 Speaker 1: as well. This is something that's that's got to be 553 00:26:27,760 --> 00:26:29,159 Speaker 1: done for my family. I think the other one that 554 00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:30,960 Speaker 1: got me and I've I've heard a little bit of 555 00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:33,639 Speaker 1: this one. But when he was a senior again, they 556 00:26:33,680 --> 00:26:36,080 Speaker 1: won the state championship. But believe when he was a junior, 557 00:26:36,119 --> 00:26:37,800 Speaker 1: maybe he was soft. One of those years he won 558 00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:40,280 Speaker 1: the state championship, came back for a senior year obviously, 559 00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:44,000 Speaker 1: and they weren't a playoff game, and apparently his knee 560 00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:46,639 Speaker 1: was I don't know, not mangled, but it was it 561 00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:50,760 Speaker 1: was hurting pretty bad apparently. And you know, he's a senior. 562 00:26:50,800 --> 00:26:52,800 Speaker 1: He's going off the clumpson I think he went early, 563 00:26:52,840 --> 00:26:56,000 Speaker 1: so he was going in January, right, And so he's 564 00:26:56,080 --> 00:26:59,640 Speaker 1: in this game and he just he keeps going out there, 565 00:26:59,640 --> 00:27:01,240 Speaker 1: he keeps going out on the field. I'd like to 566 00:27:01,240 --> 00:27:04,840 Speaker 1: know more about that story, like what happened, but you're 567 00:27:04,880 --> 00:27:07,040 Speaker 1: never gonna get it from him. Not surprising. He's not 568 00:27:07,080 --> 00:27:09,080 Speaker 1: gonna be the one to tell you that. You know, 569 00:27:09,119 --> 00:27:10,720 Speaker 1: he's not gonna offer that up. I mean, you have 570 00:27:10,800 --> 00:27:13,080 Speaker 1: to you have to ask him. I asked him this 571 00:27:13,160 --> 00:27:14,680 Speaker 1: question the other night when we had a chance to 572 00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:18,760 Speaker 1: interview him, I said, he just he just always it 573 00:27:18,920 --> 00:27:20,919 Speaker 1: just seems like he has the right answer for everything. 574 00:27:20,920 --> 00:27:22,400 Speaker 1: I kind of put him on a spot. I said, 575 00:27:22,640 --> 00:27:24,479 Speaker 1: you know, I came up with this question. I'm curious. 576 00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:26,440 Speaker 1: I'm just gonna throw it at you with the hell. 577 00:27:26,760 --> 00:27:29,280 Speaker 1: I said, you got Hunter renfro who's your Clemson buddy? 578 00:27:29,320 --> 00:27:31,960 Speaker 1: You through game winning touchdown too one side, and you 579 00:27:32,080 --> 00:27:34,720 Speaker 1: got DeAndre Hopkins on the other, and you've got one 580 00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:36,879 Speaker 1: touchdown to throw and you got the last play of 581 00:27:36,880 --> 00:27:40,840 Speaker 1: the game. Who you're throwing it too? And he goes, 582 00:27:41,280 --> 00:27:43,080 Speaker 1: he goes, Man, you put me on the spot, and 583 00:27:43,119 --> 00:27:46,120 Speaker 1: then instantly he goes. Depends on the coverage, I mean, 584 00:27:46,160 --> 00:27:48,760 Speaker 1: he he couldn't have handled it any better. But that's 585 00:27:48,760 --> 00:27:50,439 Speaker 1: the right answer. I mean, it really is. It is 586 00:27:50,440 --> 00:27:52,000 Speaker 1: the right answer at that point. Now, I was gonna 587 00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:54,320 Speaker 1: come up with more more to it, but I decided 588 00:27:54,359 --> 00:27:56,639 Speaker 1: not to have figured he handled it about us, about 589 00:27:56,680 --> 00:27:58,399 Speaker 1: us as well as he possibly could. But that's just 590 00:27:58,480 --> 00:28:00,840 Speaker 1: kind of the way he's handled everything. Yeah, he throws 591 00:28:00,880 --> 00:28:03,880 Speaker 1: something at him you think is difficult, and he he 592 00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:07,200 Speaker 1: tackles it. Given everything that had happened the week leading 593 00:28:07,240 --> 00:28:11,080 Speaker 1: up to the Seattle game last year. Any other quarterback 594 00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:14,200 Speaker 1: that leads that team for the Texans that we've seen 595 00:28:14,200 --> 00:28:17,320 Speaker 1: in franchise history, I think it's Lamb's going to the 596 00:28:17,320 --> 00:28:21,480 Speaker 1: Slaughter and Deshaun Wats went out there and you Darnier 597 00:28:21,520 --> 00:28:24,600 Speaker 1: won the ball game. So that's that's that's a I 598 00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:27,200 Speaker 1: will never doubt that guy after that. No, not that 599 00:28:27,280 --> 00:28:30,280 Speaker 1: I was doubting him before, but that's cemented anything as 600 00:28:30,320 --> 00:28:32,560 Speaker 1: possible with this guy. I don't remember. I remember after 601 00:28:32,600 --> 00:28:35,120 Speaker 1: we found out that he was hurt. The next day 602 00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:39,040 Speaker 1: we were we were in here and it was three 603 00:28:39,120 --> 00:28:41,720 Speaker 1: days ago. Oh you're scar sorry, three days after the 604 00:28:41,720 --> 00:28:44,680 Speaker 1: game anyways? After yeah, yeah, after he was injured. If 605 00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:46,640 Speaker 1: he found out he was injured, gotcha. I remember that 606 00:28:46,680 --> 00:28:49,080 Speaker 1: was a Thursday. So the next day was a Friday, 607 00:28:49,200 --> 00:28:53,120 Speaker 1: and so I remember being in here and Mark and 608 00:28:53,160 --> 00:28:55,680 Speaker 1: I have been talking about it. You walked in, and 609 00:28:55,760 --> 00:28:58,440 Speaker 1: of course we're just like, you really mean we gotta 610 00:28:58,680 --> 00:29:00,840 Speaker 1: we now gotta finish this season about him? Holy call, 611 00:29:00,920 --> 00:29:02,400 Speaker 1: Like we were kind of down in the mouth about it, 612 00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:05,080 Speaker 1: and you walked in and you're like, guys, what's wrong 613 00:29:05,160 --> 00:29:08,360 Speaker 1: And we're like it's obvious and you're like, but we 614 00:29:08,480 --> 00:29:11,040 Speaker 1: got our guy for the next how many ever years. 615 00:29:11,040 --> 00:29:13,520 Speaker 1: I mean, you were just you. You had such an 616 00:29:13,560 --> 00:29:15,600 Speaker 1: attitude of and it was the same attitude he had, 617 00:29:15,840 --> 00:29:17,920 Speaker 1: which was I'll be back, I'll be fine. Well, I 618 00:29:17,960 --> 00:29:20,320 Speaker 1: think it's because he was in the locker room that day. Yeah, 619 00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:24,360 Speaker 1: he'd he'd been diagnosed with what went down, but he 620 00:29:24,400 --> 00:29:26,240 Speaker 1: was back in and he wasn't wearing a brace or anything, 621 00:29:26,240 --> 00:29:28,880 Speaker 1: and he looked fine, and he was very calm about things. 622 00:29:28,920 --> 00:29:30,360 Speaker 1: And you had walked in here. But it's just the 623 00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:32,320 Speaker 1: way that you walked in and said, look, we're gonna 624 00:29:32,360 --> 00:29:34,440 Speaker 1: be fine, and it kind of goes with that. I'll 625 00:29:34,480 --> 00:29:36,800 Speaker 1: never doubt him. Yeah he'll be back, and you had 626 00:29:36,840 --> 00:29:40,080 Speaker 1: that attitude like, look he'll be back. We've got our 627 00:29:40,160 --> 00:29:42,240 Speaker 1: quarterback for the next how many every years. I dount 628 00:29:42,280 --> 00:29:46,360 Speaker 1: a lot of things. Trust I'm not some I don't 629 00:29:46,360 --> 00:29:50,360 Speaker 1: have some blind faith in everything. So Drew, I've got 630 00:29:50,440 --> 00:29:54,360 Speaker 1: riverfront property for you now. But it was just I'll 631 00:29:54,400 --> 00:29:57,680 Speaker 1: never forget that because you had such a you had 632 00:29:57,720 --> 00:30:02,480 Speaker 1: such a focus about the future, like we're gonna be fine, 633 00:30:02,760 --> 00:30:04,520 Speaker 1: whereas we were kind of focused on the present. You 634 00:30:04,560 --> 00:30:08,480 Speaker 1: were like, look, we're gonna be completely fine. We'll get 635 00:30:08,520 --> 00:30:11,320 Speaker 1: through this, and we did. We all survived it. In 636 00:30:11,360 --> 00:30:13,640 Speaker 1: some sense. It wasn't easy, but we got through it. Hell, 637 00:30:13,680 --> 00:30:16,000 Speaker 1: we've gotten through two and fourteen. Yeah, you know, we've 638 00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:17,640 Speaker 1: gone through a lot of different things. You're going through 639 00:30:17,680 --> 00:30:19,520 Speaker 1: a coaching change. Obviously you were here for that, and 640 00:30:19,560 --> 00:30:22,680 Speaker 1: I came in right after that. But that one was like, 641 00:30:22,880 --> 00:30:25,640 Speaker 1: oh really, But you had such an attitude of he'll 642 00:30:25,680 --> 00:30:28,240 Speaker 1: be fine. And I think that stem from him reading 643 00:30:28,240 --> 00:30:31,040 Speaker 1: the articles. That was his thought, like, I just gotta 644 00:30:31,080 --> 00:30:33,440 Speaker 1: go back to work. I'll go back to work, set 645 00:30:33,480 --> 00:30:35,920 Speaker 1: my plan for what I do, and away we go. 646 00:30:36,520 --> 00:30:39,920 Speaker 1: And I remember when he came out of Clemson, they 647 00:30:39,920 --> 00:30:41,520 Speaker 1: were doing it. There was a documentary and I think 648 00:30:41,520 --> 00:30:43,480 Speaker 1: it ended up on NFL Network, but it's somewhere on YouTube. 649 00:30:43,480 --> 00:30:44,600 Speaker 1: You can find it. Go look for it. And I 650 00:30:44,600 --> 00:30:46,520 Speaker 1: can't remember the name of it, but they did a 651 00:30:46,560 --> 00:30:48,800 Speaker 1: documentary to followed him. After Clemson, he went out and 652 00:30:48,800 --> 00:30:51,960 Speaker 1: he worked at Jordan Palmer and I'll never forget he 653 00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:53,640 Speaker 1: gets out there in his flight and he sits down 654 00:30:53,680 --> 00:30:57,040 Speaker 1: with Palmer and Palmer starts going through what his goals 655 00:30:57,080 --> 00:31:01,160 Speaker 1: are and he at the top it was like to 656 00:31:01,200 --> 00:31:02,760 Speaker 1: be the rookie of the year, and he had kind 657 00:31:02,800 --> 00:31:04,640 Speaker 1: of these high level goals and I was like, man, 658 00:31:04,680 --> 00:31:07,360 Speaker 1: I hope he reaches those. It was like that guy 659 00:31:07,440 --> 00:31:09,960 Speaker 1: was gonna reach those goals until obviously he gets taken 660 00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:12,680 Speaker 1: down by the injury. But then you know, Palmer's kind 661 00:31:12,680 --> 00:31:14,400 Speaker 1: of like talking to him, Okay, let's work back. Okay, 662 00:31:14,560 --> 00:31:16,640 Speaker 1: let's be the starting quarterback at this point. Let's do this. 663 00:31:16,760 --> 00:31:18,920 Speaker 1: He had every goal like laid out, and it was 664 00:31:18,960 --> 00:31:20,960 Speaker 1: like he's hitting all of them, if you know. It 665 00:31:21,040 --> 00:31:23,600 Speaker 1: was just amazing to see a guy that had done 666 00:31:23,600 --> 00:31:25,760 Speaker 1: so much in college and jump to the NFL and 667 00:31:25,800 --> 00:31:28,040 Speaker 1: do all that right away. Like to give you, okay, 668 00:31:28,080 --> 00:31:30,920 Speaker 1: to give you an example, you talk about Jordan Palmer. Yah, 669 00:31:31,120 --> 00:31:34,560 Speaker 1: Jordan Palmer was at the draft with Watson, George Palmer. Obviously, 670 00:31:34,640 --> 00:31:38,960 Speaker 1: Watson and his folks paid to pay Palmer to work 671 00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:43,080 Speaker 1: with him, so Palmer was employed essentially by Watson. I 672 00:31:43,120 --> 00:31:45,920 Speaker 1: still interviewed Palmer after the draft addition to interview and 673 00:31:45,960 --> 00:31:49,200 Speaker 1: wa Watson deal quick one on one, and Palmer said 674 00:31:49,200 --> 00:31:51,520 Speaker 1: all these things, and they were very optimistic, and he 675 00:31:51,560 --> 00:31:53,719 Speaker 1: said it was the right situation, the perfect situation. And 676 00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:56,840 Speaker 1: I was excited, but I was also in my mind 677 00:31:56,840 --> 00:32:01,200 Speaker 1: put the asterisks there. Hey, the guy is, you know, 678 00:32:01,240 --> 00:32:03,720 Speaker 1: basically an employee of Watson. If you can't get it 679 00:32:03,760 --> 00:32:07,120 Speaker 1: that way, right, and so you go with a grain 680 00:32:07,160 --> 00:32:08,520 Speaker 1: of salt. Yeah, I took it with a big gran 681 00:32:08,600 --> 00:32:10,680 Speaker 1: of And then you fast forward a year and you 682 00:32:10,720 --> 00:32:14,360 Speaker 1: look back at that and everything Palmer said came came 683 00:32:14,400 --> 00:32:16,720 Speaker 1: to fruition, and it was pretty cool to see Drew appreciated. 684 00:32:16,720 --> 00:32:19,720 Speaker 1: Broth thinks anytime. Coming up next a little David Kusenberry, 685 00:32:19,840 --> 00:32:22,320 Speaker 1: Curtis Drummond, and the birthday boy Bruce Ellington.

Three of 688 00:32:58,800 --> 00:33:01,440 Speaker 1: them that have been around here or well. David Kusenberry, 689 00:33:01,440 --> 00:33:03,400 Speaker 1: Curis Drummer had been around for a while. Bruce Ellickton, 690 00:33:03,520 --> 00:33:06,120 Speaker 1: well he just got here. But you know what, it's 691 00:33:06,160 --> 00:33:08,640 Speaker 1: his birthday, so we're gonna celebrate him in this final 692 00:33:08,720 --> 00:33:10,800 Speaker 1: segment of Texans All Access. Thank you for being here. 693 00:33:10,840 --> 00:33:14,080 Speaker 1: I'm your host, John Harris, and we're gonna start with 694 00:33:14,400 --> 00:33:18,120 Speaker 1: the most veteran of those players. David Questenberry been here 695 00:33:18,160 --> 00:33:21,680 Speaker 1: since twenty thirteen and he did the thirty Dozen with 696 00:33:21,880 --> 00:33:25,440 Speaker 1: Drew Doughy David Questenberry. How has training camp progressed for you? 697 00:33:25,800 --> 00:33:28,040 Speaker 1: It's been great, man. I mean right out here working, 698 00:33:28,120 --> 00:33:31,080 Speaker 1: I just feel like every day is it's we've already 699 00:33:31,120 --> 00:33:33,120 Speaker 1: overcome that hurdle, like coming back every day now it's 700 00:33:33,240 --> 00:33:36,040 Speaker 1: just like getting stronger and I am and I feel great, explosive, 701 00:33:36,080 --> 00:33:39,040 Speaker 1: strong stole. It's it's motivating. I'd love to hear that. 702 00:33:39,160 --> 00:33:42,040 Speaker 1: As an offensive line, what's been the progress for you guys? 703 00:33:42,280 --> 00:33:46,640 Speaker 1: It's all about cohesion, chemistry, precision, timing, everybody working together. 704 00:33:46,760 --> 00:33:48,520 Speaker 1: You know, that's what offensive line play is. We got 705 00:33:48,520 --> 00:33:50,120 Speaker 1: a lot of new guys, but I think everyone's working 706 00:33:50,120 --> 00:33:52,720 Speaker 1: really well together. I don't know how much we'll see 707 00:33:52,760 --> 00:33:56,080 Speaker 1: of the Rams starters, their frontline guys, but nevertheless, they've 708 00:33:56,120 --> 00:33:58,480 Speaker 1: got a lot of talented people there. What's the challenge there? 709 00:33:58,480 --> 00:33:59,840 Speaker 1: What's the goal when you take on a team in 710 00:33:59,880 --> 00:34:02,160 Speaker 1: the third week of the preseason. Yeah, I mean this 711 00:34:02,280 --> 00:34:04,520 Speaker 1: is like the biggest rust procel of them all in 712 00:34:04,560 --> 00:34:06,400 Speaker 1: the preseason. We want to come out sharp, we want 713 00:34:06,400 --> 00:34:07,479 Speaker 1: to come out to the size, we want to come 714 00:34:07,480 --> 00:34:10,359 Speaker 1: out fire on all cylinders and uh and and play 715 00:34:10,440 --> 00:34:12,960 Speaker 1: text in football. Okay, let's do the dirty dozen. We 716 00:34:13,000 --> 00:34:18,440 Speaker 1: start things off with your best football trade. What is it? Grit? Grit? Okay, 717 00:34:18,600 --> 00:34:23,000 Speaker 1: your most improved football trade this offseason? Exclusiveness. Your teammate 718 00:34:23,120 --> 00:34:26,239 Speaker 1: who talks the most trash probably sin Shall Henderson, the 719 00:34:26,280 --> 00:34:28,319 Speaker 1: new guy. Is that right? Don't let him feel you. 720 00:34:28,400 --> 00:34:31,000 Speaker 1: He's quick with his words. When I asked him that question, 721 00:34:31,160 --> 00:34:35,360 Speaker 1: he said, Christian Covington. I would respectfully disagree with him. 722 00:34:35,360 --> 00:34:38,320 Speaker 1: Next on that list would probably be Clowning, just because 723 00:34:38,400 --> 00:34:40,640 Speaker 1: he never never eats clown. He's been named by a 724 00:34:40,640 --> 00:34:42,400 Speaker 1: fear of your teammates, so I could say that that's 725 00:34:42,400 --> 00:34:44,400 Speaker 1: good to know about Henderson. Your teammate who gets you 726 00:34:44,520 --> 00:34:47,879 Speaker 1: most amped up, most pumped guy present has been great 727 00:34:47,880 --> 00:34:50,200 Speaker 1: Man's six to five. He's been bringing the energy in 728 00:34:50,239 --> 00:34:52,520 Speaker 1: those pregame speeches. I love it. I've not talked to 729 00:34:52,560 --> 00:34:55,319 Speaker 1: a single guy who blocks so no offensive lineman. And 730 00:34:55,320 --> 00:34:58,440 Speaker 1: then Jay Prosch, who hasn't named him, Man's has been 731 00:34:58,440 --> 00:35:01,080 Speaker 1: the guy that's been the common threader. He's definitely brought 732 00:35:01,120 --> 00:35:03,200 Speaker 1: his a game this persison. It's been fun to be around. 733 00:35:03,400 --> 00:35:05,600 Speaker 1: On the other end of the spectrum, which teammate calms 734 00:35:05,640 --> 00:35:08,839 Speaker 1: you down the most for Blotson for sure. He just 735 00:35:09,160 --> 00:35:11,360 Speaker 1: he just has that that energy about him. It's calm, 736 00:35:11,960 --> 00:35:15,480 Speaker 1: he's he's collected, but he's also like, you know, like 737 00:35:15,680 --> 00:35:18,080 Speaker 1: laser focused and it's it's awesome to be around. Is 738 00:35:18,120 --> 00:35:20,399 Speaker 1: there anything that bothers him? I haven't seen it yet. 739 00:35:20,520 --> 00:35:23,959 Speaker 1: We'll see, you know. I mean he's pretty much killed 740 00:35:23,960 --> 00:35:26,680 Speaker 1: everything that he said. He's taken on. He got the 741 00:35:26,760 --> 00:35:29,440 Speaker 1: Houston and man, before you've been college, who's your most 742 00:35:29,520 --> 00:35:34,440 Speaker 1: underrated teammate? Most underrated teammate Nick Martin? Really? How come? 743 00:35:34,680 --> 00:35:38,640 Speaker 1: Because he is a stud? Nick Martin or DJ? I 744 00:35:38,640 --> 00:35:40,400 Speaker 1: mean just because they're going against each other all the 745 00:35:40,400 --> 00:35:42,640 Speaker 1: time and it's such a good battle. But when you 746 00:35:42,640 --> 00:35:44,839 Speaker 1: see them playing against other people, I mean they are 747 00:35:44,920 --> 00:35:47,319 Speaker 1: really just a couple of studs. Perfect breakfast in the 748 00:35:47,360 --> 00:35:51,319 Speaker 1: morning is well, or we're talking competition or like like 749 00:35:51,440 --> 00:35:53,799 Speaker 1: cheat day breakfast. Let's do cheat day, let's have fun 750 00:35:53,840 --> 00:35:55,640 Speaker 1: like that. That's the because that's gonna be the perfect. 751 00:35:55,680 --> 00:35:58,120 Speaker 1: That's the perfect, That is the perfect breakfast. Right Yeah, Well, 752 00:35:58,239 --> 00:36:03,800 Speaker 1: then like a whole man of pancakes, waffles, cinnamon rolls. 753 00:36:04,239 --> 00:36:06,520 Speaker 1: Maybe you've tossed a nice bowl of cereal in there 754 00:36:06,920 --> 00:36:09,760 Speaker 1: then like a big mess of scrambled eggs and extra 755 00:36:09,880 --> 00:36:12,600 Speaker 1: crispy bacon. Loved to have my bacon. If the bacon's 756 00:36:12,680 --> 00:36:15,400 Speaker 1: not crispy, get out. I wanted to crack when I 757 00:36:15,480 --> 00:36:18,120 Speaker 1: drop it on my plate. You basically want it to 758 00:36:18,280 --> 00:36:22,480 Speaker 1: be dust. I want it just before it turns to dust. 759 00:36:22,520 --> 00:36:24,480 Speaker 1: I wanted to hold its shape enough, but if I 760 00:36:24,600 --> 00:36:27,520 Speaker 1: dropped it, it would crack in half order, like fifteen pieces. 761 00:36:27,640 --> 00:36:29,520 Speaker 1: That is the correct answer. That is the correct answer. 762 00:36:29,560 --> 00:36:30,960 Speaker 1: I'm guessing it's been a while though, since you've had 763 00:36:30,960 --> 00:36:33,160 Speaker 1: a breakfast like that. It has. It has not notice 764 00:36:33,160 --> 00:36:37,680 Speaker 1: since training camp started. Okay, who's your all time favorite 765 00:36:38,080 --> 00:36:42,040 Speaker 1: retired NFL player?

You'd see twenty three 815 00:39:03,880 --> 00:39:07,000 Speaker 1: making plays every day. I saw and make a couple 816 00:39:07,000 --> 00:39:10,800 Speaker 1: of plays as a gunner defender. I guess is that 817 00:39:10,880 --> 00:39:13,000 Speaker 1: the right way to call it? Man? He hammered a 818 00:39:13,000 --> 00:39:15,600 Speaker 1: couple of guys enjoy practices against the forty nine ers, 819 00:39:15,640 --> 00:39:17,240 Speaker 1: and then he did it to our guys in practice 820 00:39:17,239 --> 00:39:21,080 Speaker 1: and thought, man, Curtis Drummond still making play special teams 821 00:39:21,120 --> 00:39:23,799 Speaker 1: defense doesn't matter. Twenty three is gonna find a way. 822 00:39:24,040 --> 00:39:26,160 Speaker 1: And he caught up with Mark van And after practice today. 823 00:39:26,280 --> 00:39:28,040 Speaker 1: All right, So I've heard a lot of people raving 824 00:39:28,040 --> 00:39:29,600 Speaker 1: about how you're playing. How do you feel it's going. 825 00:39:29,680 --> 00:39:32,120 Speaker 1: First of APT, I'm just coming out here every day 826 00:39:32,120 --> 00:39:35,000 Speaker 1: that's trying to get better.

App personally? 829 00:39:40,680 --> 00:39:44,320 Speaker 1: Probably my man coverage. That's something I've been trying to 830 00:39:44,320 --> 00:39:45,960 Speaker 1: focus on him. But really I just want to be 831 00:39:46,040 --> 00:39:48,520 Speaker 1: all around safety, all around special teams player, and uh 832 00:39:48,800 --> 00:39:50,279 Speaker 1: it's really be able to help the team.
