We're on the cuffs where 2 00:00:03,520 --> 00:00:05,680 Speaker 1: we got to ask some pieces to what we're doing here. 3 00:00:06,080 --> 00:00:08,559 Speaker 1: Pierce running, Rice been move Carrolls was way down to 4 00:00:08,600 --> 00:00:11,200 Speaker 1: the forty one yard line. Who want to run by Piers. 5 00:00:11,200 --> 00:00:13,840 Speaker 1: The type of players that we're looking for are players 6 00:00:13,960 --> 00:00:17,040 Speaker 1: who are looking to sworms. Better sat that Christian Harris 7 00:00:17,160 --> 00:00:22,240 Speaker 1: gain days every day ticked off by Stanley pay Trade. 8 00:00:22,520 --> 00:00:26,160 Speaker 1: Texans have the ball on the pit, the takeaway train 9 00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:30,280 Speaker 1: is ruling, and if you want it, you gotta go work. No, 10 00:00:30,920 --> 00:00:37,680 Speaker 1: it's Texans all excess.

It means John Harrison. I welcome 13 00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:47,120 Speaker 1: in John McLean, the general from Gallery Sports dot com 14 00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:49,040 Speaker 1: and Sports Radio six ten dot com. And I'm saying 15 00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:51,519 Speaker 1: it right now. No more of that newspaper stuff for 16 00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:54,920 Speaker 1: the general. It's all digital, all the time for him now, 17 00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:58,200 Speaker 1: and all celebration all the time over the Texans free 18 00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:02,639 Speaker 1: agent and other acquisitions so far. General, good evening, tell 19 00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:05,800 Speaker 1: me your reaction, your level of surprise, if eddie to 20 00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:10,759 Speaker 1: what the Texans did this week, especially since Monday. Good evening, Hey, guys, 21 00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:15,840 Speaker 1: I thought that Nickssario, getting Dalton Shultz to solve a 22 00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:19,800 Speaker 1: need a tight end and getting Devin Singletary started The 23 00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:22,280 Speaker 1: last three and a half years for the Bills were 24 00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:26,199 Speaker 1: great moves because they solved two big problems at tight 25 00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:29,399 Speaker 1: end and at backup running back. They went from having 26 00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:33,160 Speaker 1: nothing behind Damian Piers to having a guy who was 27 00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:36,040 Speaker 1: there was day darned fifty yards not had fewer than 28 00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:40,280 Speaker 1: thirty eight catches four point seven yards for carrying, to 29 00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:43,800 Speaker 1: splitting the time with peers. I don't know if it'll 30 00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:48,559 Speaker 1: be sixty forty, but they don't have to worry about 31 00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:53,280 Speaker 1: now using Damian Piers all the time. Schultz was franchise 32 00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:56,240 Speaker 1: last year. He bet on himself this year, bad timing. 33 00:01:56,840 --> 00:02:01,040 Speaker 1: Great draft for tightens Cowboys. In my mark drafts, I've 34 00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:03,960 Speaker 1: had him taken Michael Maynor from the Notre Dame and 35 00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:09,160 Speaker 1: Dalton king Kate from Utah those wrong gallery sports dot 36 00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:12,560 Speaker 1: Com and then get those guys are young or cheaper, 37 00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:15,359 Speaker 1: But I like, you got guys on one year deals. 38 00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:19,200 Speaker 1: You're gonna get the very best they have to offer. 39 00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:24,280 Speaker 1: And even though saying Outarry's not a starter, he solved 40 00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:27,840 Speaker 1: a big problem they had, and I like some of 41 00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:31,320 Speaker 1: those mothers Neckssarials made. I don't know anything about him 42 00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:34,720 Speaker 1: because you know they didn't float my boat. Boy, those 43 00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:38,679 Speaker 1: two sure did, just like Shack Mason Jimmy Ward in 44 00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:42,320 Speaker 1: case Keenum General. The thing about a tight end and 45 00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:45,720 Speaker 1: a running back is the fact that you can have 46 00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:47,919 Speaker 1: multiple ones. You can have multiple tight ends in the 47 00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:49,639 Speaker 1: game at a time, you can have multile running backs 48 00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:51,320 Speaker 1: in the game at a time. So I ask you 49 00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:56,239 Speaker 1: this question, knowing the Texans have not had explosive weapons 50 00:02:56,720 --> 00:03:01,919 Speaker 1: offensively lately. If Nickssary were to draft a tight end 51 00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:06,000 Speaker 1: or running back, which one would you feel most comfortable 52 00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:08,200 Speaker 1: with them taking. Is it as easy as saying tight 53 00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:11,200 Speaker 1: end because that class is that much better, or running 54 00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:13,440 Speaker 1: back because that class is deeper. Well, I don't think 55 00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:16,080 Speaker 1: he's gonna do either one, but if you we're going 56 00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:17,920 Speaker 1: to do one after he could be a tight end 57 00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:21,960 Speaker 1: because Schultz could be gone after this year and Damian 58 00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:26,239 Speaker 1: Piers can't be Did we lose the General? Yes, I 59 00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:28,760 Speaker 1: think so, I think we did. I think the General 60 00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:31,760 Speaker 1: dropped off and I'm already working with a delay in 61 00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:34,400 Speaker 1: my ear. But we can do anything Johnny, you and 62 00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:38,080 Speaker 1: me together, we can do this. Yes, yes, we can't. 63 00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:39,720 Speaker 1: You know the question I asked in Mark, I'll ask 64 00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:42,440 Speaker 1: you the same thing. If the Texas we're gonna draft 65 00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:44,840 Speaker 1: one of those positions, even though they got at Schultz 66 00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:47,320 Speaker 1: and they've got Singletary, which one do you think they 67 00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:50,200 Speaker 1: would focus on? Tight end or running back? You know, Johnny, 68 00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:53,480 Speaker 1: I think tight end still you It's a group that 69 00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:55,920 Speaker 1: they always seem to want to add to historically, and 70 00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:58,040 Speaker 1: I know that has nothing to do with what Nick 71 00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:01,720 Speaker 1: as Sarrio might decide to do, But I still think 72 00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:04,839 Speaker 1: there's some mystery in that position group, despite the fact 73 00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:06,600 Speaker 1: that they acquired Schultz. And you want to see what 74 00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:10,400 Speaker 1: Tik Inquatoriano does in year two, But it's year three 75 00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:13,560 Speaker 1: for Brevin Jordan and I really we are talking about 76 00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:16,040 Speaker 1: him last week. I think we're really curious to see 77 00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:18,440 Speaker 1: what he can do. I mean, this lights the fire 78 00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:20,720 Speaker 1: if he ever needed it to be lit. Not that 79 00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:23,000 Speaker 1: he does. I think he just wants to stay healthy 80 00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:24,800 Speaker 1: and he's got all the desire in the world to 81 00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:28,360 Speaker 1: make plays. But can he find a role with what 82 00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:31,200 Speaker 1: they have right now? That's what I'm eager to see 83 00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:33,479 Speaker 1: in that group. Right now, I think as far as 84 00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:36,360 Speaker 1: running back goes, yeah, maybe later on, you know, does 85 00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:39,800 Speaker 1: this eliminate the Deuce Vaughan dream that I have with 86 00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:43,080 Speaker 1: the diminutive back from Kansas State and all that he 87 00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:45,599 Speaker 1: brings to the table. I'm gonna wait and see, of course, 88 00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:48,320 Speaker 1: because I have no choice. Yeah, I think that's gonna 89 00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:50,360 Speaker 1: I think your dream is over. I hate to say 90 00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:52,599 Speaker 1: it because it's so funny you brought that out because 91 00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:55,800 Speaker 1: as I was walking into the building today, I don't 92 00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:58,159 Speaker 1: know why I passed the card that had a Kansas 93 00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:01,040 Speaker 1: State sticker on it. And this is how my brain works. 94 00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:03,360 Speaker 1: I see the Kansas State sticker and I'm thinking, I go, 95 00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:05,840 Speaker 1: Douce Vawn, Like, dang it, Douce Vaan's not coming here 96 00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:09,200 Speaker 1: because we got Devin Singletary. We got the market cornered 97 00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:14,520 Speaker 1: on a diminutive quick lightning, quick mercury in a bottles 98 00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:17,120 Speaker 1: sort of running backs and Devin Singletary. So I don't 99 00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:19,320 Speaker 1: know if we're gonna end up doing anything with Douce Fawn. 100 00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:21,880 Speaker 1: But to the General's point, which he said before we 101 00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:23,680 Speaker 1: lost him, is the fact that it's a one year 102 00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:27,040 Speaker 1: deal with Singletary. So hey, there's nothing to stop you 103 00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:30,400 Speaker 1: from adding offensive weapons. But man, his tight end class 104 00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:34,080 Speaker 1: is really really good. I mean it's really good. It's 105 00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:36,440 Speaker 1: just and he goes on and on im just trying 106 00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:41,679 Speaker 1: to find like where what's the right fit for this office? 107 00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:44,360 Speaker 1: I think Dalton Schultz is the perfect fit. What other 108 00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:46,920 Speaker 1: tight end is at fit? And if you do do it, 109 00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:49,880 Speaker 1: when are you gonna do it? And and that becomes 110 00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:52,000 Speaker 1: kind of interesting with what tight ends could be on 111 00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:54,280 Speaker 1: the board at those particular spots. I think you can. 112 00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:56,720 Speaker 1: I think the way the tight end class is kind 113 00:05:56,720 --> 00:05:58,200 Speaker 1: of said, it's almost top heavy. He's gonna you got 114 00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:00,240 Speaker 1: four or five guys at the top, and there's a 115 00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:02,920 Speaker 1: little bit of a gap, and then probably kind of 116 00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:05,320 Speaker 1: late round three, round four, you start to kind of 117 00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:07,120 Speaker 1: pick it up again with guys like Pain Durham from 118 00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:09,920 Speaker 1: Purdue who's kind of a true Why, Josh Wiley from 119 00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:13,240 Speaker 1: Cincinnati who's a true Why tight end. So there's some 120 00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:15,720 Speaker 1: definite options at those two positions. But man, you got 121 00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:20,080 Speaker 1: running backs all the way throughout this draft. Man, holy cow, 122 00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:24,920 Speaker 1: there's some really good, diverse, electric running backs at every 123 00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:27,320 Speaker 1: level of this draft. That's gonna be really interesting to watch. 124 00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:30,680 Speaker 1: Johnny and We'll ask General about this when he gets 125 00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:33,760 Speaker 1: back on. But with what the Panthers had going on 126 00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:37,599 Speaker 1: with C. J. Stroud yesterday and that interaction that went viral, 127 00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:41,520 Speaker 1: and then the interaction they've had with Bryce Young, what 128 00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:43,680 Speaker 1: do you make of it after a couple of these 129 00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:48,440 Speaker 1: pro days and again interaction because everyone thought, well, maybe 130 00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:50,200 Speaker 1: the Texans should have the number one pick. They shouldn't 131 00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:52,000 Speaker 1: have eaten the Colts whatever, like that was a choice, 132 00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:56,160 Speaker 1: like they willed themselves into fourth and twenty and they 133 00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:58,160 Speaker 1: would be picked, not working out and all of that. 134 00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:00,360 Speaker 1: But the fact is they have the number two pick. 135 00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:02,760 Speaker 1: If they had the number one pick, we might be 136 00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:05,680 Speaker 1: seeing Demika Ryan's and nick as Sarrio interacting with these 137 00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:09,440 Speaker 1: guys in the same fashion at their pro day or whatever. 138 00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:11,800 Speaker 1: Reports would come out. And I'm sure, look, there will 139 00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:13,880 Speaker 1: be visits and other things that will hear about or 140 00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:16,080 Speaker 1: maybe not, But what do you make of what you've 141 00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:21,240 Speaker 1: seen through two days of these interactions? Here, I'm gonna 142 00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:24,480 Speaker 1: say something, You're gonna think, I'm I'm freaking nuts, Mark nothing. 143 00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:28,520 Speaker 1: I make absolutely nothing out of it because the Panthers 144 00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:32,680 Speaker 1: are taking that same continguent to see Stroud Young, Levis 145 00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:36,880 Speaker 1: and potentially Richardson, So what does does that give anything away? No, 146 00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:40,520 Speaker 1: they're just getting are they're taking, They're taking a road 147 00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:43,240 Speaker 1: show and it's fantastic, and they get an opportunity after 148 00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:47,200 Speaker 1: pro day to shake hand and that's great, that's fantastic. 149 00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:50,760 Speaker 1: But they can only draft one of them. So Nick, 150 00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:54,000 Speaker 1: was that a different pro day today? So be it? 151 00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:56,200 Speaker 1: I mean, I just don't buy into any of that 152 00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:59,200 Speaker 1: in all honesty. What I buy into is do you 153 00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:02,080 Speaker 1: get qualities? Now, the Panthers did get quality time. They 154 00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:04,680 Speaker 1: at dinner with CJ. Strout and they ran into him 155 00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:06,280 Speaker 1: at the pro day. Then they did the same thing 156 00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:10,200 Speaker 1: for Bryce Young. Great Texas can do that same thing, 157 00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:12,640 Speaker 1: and in some cases they don't need to do it 158 00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:15,480 Speaker 1: in all honesty, they just need to get comfortable and 159 00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:18,440 Speaker 1: they'll have those guys on thirty visits more than likely, 160 00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:22,280 Speaker 1: and they'll have an opportunity to get comfortable with those 161 00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:25,840 Speaker 1: quarterbacks and away you go. And look, who knows at 162 00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:30,280 Speaker 1: that point what David Tepper, the owner, is demanding of 163 00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:34,079 Speaker 1: his particular people. What he's demand I mean, maybe he 164 00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:36,000 Speaker 1: just wants to go and get a fuel for the mean, 165 00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:38,079 Speaker 1: obviously he owns the franchise. I mean, I don't know 166 00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:41,360 Speaker 1: if if Cal and Hannah said they wanted to go see, 167 00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:45,040 Speaker 1: you know, Will Levis's work out tomorrow, I mean, i'd 168 00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:46,800 Speaker 1: imagine there'll be a team that would go up there 169 00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:49,040 Speaker 1: and take a look. But I just don't think you 170 00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:51,400 Speaker 1: have to do your business that way. I do think 171 00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:53,360 Speaker 1: you have to get an understanding of these guys, but 172 00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:54,880 Speaker 1: I think there's so many different ways to do it. 173 00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:57,800 Speaker 1: I think it's almost like you're making a show of it, like, Hey, 174 00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:00,120 Speaker 1: look at all this hard work we're putting in to 175 00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:03,920 Speaker 1: these quarterbacks for what I mean, you're gonna pick the 176 00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:06,439 Speaker 1: one guy you like. So I don't know. I just 177 00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:08,760 Speaker 1: don't make anything really of it, to be honest, if 178 00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:11,880 Speaker 1: it had been just Stroud, okay, I would have been like, 179 00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:13,319 Speaker 1: all right, they did it for one guy. They're doing 180 00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:16,600 Speaker 1: it for all four guys. So I don't see really anything. 181 00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:19,360 Speaker 1: In all honesty, I don't make anything really out of 182 00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:22,320 Speaker 1: those those visits the Panthers are making. All right, let's 183 00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:26,240 Speaker 1: get the general back on here, and John McLean rejoins us. John, 184 00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:28,040 Speaker 1: what do you make of the interactions the last couple 185 00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:30,920 Speaker 1: of days of the pro days between the Panthers and C. J. 186 00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:33,880 Speaker 1: Stroud and wanted to play horse and if I'm another prospect, 187 00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:35,480 Speaker 1: then they don't want to play horse with me. I'm 188 00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:37,839 Speaker 1: feeling very left out, like they just don't want to 189 00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:39,839 Speaker 1: share the ball with me. I don't know what do 190 00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:41,319 Speaker 1: you make of all this that we've seen in the 191 00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:43,839 Speaker 1: last couple of days. I would never have an owner 192 00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:46,319 Speaker 1: or going to the Pro day own. There's got no 193 00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:51,480 Speaker 1: business going to Pro days. And it's why you hire people. 194 00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:56,080 Speaker 1: And the Texans can have private workouts for these guys 195 00:09:56,760 --> 00:09:59,760 Speaker 1: if they want to. They can have dinners and a 196 00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:02,280 Speaker 1: with them. They'll bring both of them here for the 197 00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:06,079 Speaker 1: thirty visits. As John said, they'll have them here for 198 00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:08,520 Speaker 1: a day. You cannot work them out here. You have 199 00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:10,839 Speaker 1: to work them out there. So if they want to 200 00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:13,880 Speaker 1: have for other workouts, is Troud and young, they do 201 00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:16,240 Speaker 1: it there more than a lot. They have five people 202 00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:19,959 Speaker 1: at these Pro days, James Lipford and Forced Gauts and 203 00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:24,120 Speaker 1: everything that's done is on tape. Every throw Pro Days, 204 00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:26,160 Speaker 1: and someone who's been to a lot of Pro Days, 205 00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:28,959 Speaker 1: they're the biggest waste of time when it comes to 206 00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:35,200 Speaker 1: watching quarterbacks throw. I saw JaMarcus Russell throw great Blake Bortles, 207 00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:38,920 Speaker 1: Vinch John Johnny Manzil. All of them had great pro 208 00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:44,160 Speaker 1: days because they should. They're orchestrated like Broadway plays, rehearsed 209 00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:47,199 Speaker 1: for weeks. If you don't have a good pro day, 210 00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:50,959 Speaker 1: there should be something wrong. Anyway, they send you all 211 00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:54,000 Speaker 1: the tape, and if you want to interview them, they 212 00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:56,280 Speaker 1: talk to them at the time. By they'll talk to 213 00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:59,240 Speaker 1: them here. They can talk to them in Columbus and 214 00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:04,080 Speaker 1: and Tuscaloosa. But I think scouting goes to the tape 215 00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:07,679 Speaker 1: and the thing. Gary Kubiak always said he liked to 216 00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:10,360 Speaker 1: interview them. He wanted to look in there. Aye, and 217 00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:13,040 Speaker 1: you can do that here, you can do that over there. 218 00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:16,719 Speaker 1: Panthers doing everything they can try to make people think 219 00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:19,800 Speaker 1: they might take Young because they're trying to make a 220 00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:23,960 Speaker 1: necessario panic. So he'll swap spots, give them a draft 221 00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:27,440 Speaker 1: choice so he can be guaranteed of getting Bryce Young. 222 00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:30,240 Speaker 1: And I think we all believe they sit right there 223 00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:33,600 Speaker 1: and they're gonna get Bryce. Hug will Levis and Anthony 224 00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:37,640 Speaker 1: Richardson especially are so far behind these two as prospects, 225 00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:41,679 Speaker 1: it's not even close. And yet one of them will 226 00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:43,800 Speaker 1: probably go on to the top five, if not both, 227 00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:49,200 Speaker 1: I don't see it, but feel story. Excuse me go ahead. 228 00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:53,000 Speaker 1: Last year when Damian Fiers was drafted in the fourth 229 00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:55,839 Speaker 1: round and he didn't do squat at Florida but be 230 00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:58,880 Speaker 1: part of a rotation. Two friends of mine used to 231 00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:02,480 Speaker 1: be in the NFL or Florida loves and they watch 232 00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:05,959 Speaker 1: every game, and they told me one of the reasons 233 00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:09,040 Speaker 1: Dan Mullen is in a studio now and stood up 234 00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:12,160 Speaker 1: on the sideline is because he did a terrible job 235 00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:15,920 Speaker 1: of using Pierce. And they told me why Pierce had 236 00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:19,000 Speaker 1: a chance to be special. So I said on in 237 00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:21,800 Speaker 1: the Loop that he's going to gain thousand yards as 238 00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:25,280 Speaker 1: a rookie. Landry Locker bat me one hundred dollars. He wouldn't. 239 00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:28,800 Speaker 1: I was feeling pretty cocky when he had over nine 240 00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:32,520 Speaker 1: hundred games left and then he I heard and I 241 00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:36,560 Speaker 1: paid up Landry. These same guys as so every play. 242 00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:41,200 Speaker 1: Anthony Richardson May said, people are gonna understand he's got 243 00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:44,920 Speaker 1: all his ability, size arm. But he didn't have a 244 00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:48,240 Speaker 1: quarterback coach, he didn't have a coordinator. Billy Napier did 245 00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:51,360 Speaker 1: all that and said when he would have a bad thrower, 246 00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:53,959 Speaker 1: an interception or a fumble, he'd go back to the 247 00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:57,640 Speaker 1: sideline and sit by himself. And he's a guy that, 248 00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:03,760 Speaker 1: besides being raw, he needs he needs time to learn 249 00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:07,480 Speaker 1: how to overcome his mistakes because he hadn't been able 250 00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:10,439 Speaker 1: to do that. So they think you'll get drafted in 251 00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:13,839 Speaker 1: the first round because of visibility. But they say he's 252 00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:16,880 Speaker 1: gonna take some time, and you just should believe us. 253 00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:19,599 Speaker 1: You think, you know, we got credibility after what we 254 00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:22,360 Speaker 1: told you, And now there's all these people that who 255 00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:25,640 Speaker 1: nod over the combine think he could be the first pick. 256 00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:29,839 Speaker 1: Give me a break, Yeah, give me a break. A 257 00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:33,520 Speaker 1: bunch of kneecampoops. General along those lines. General, with the 258 00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:37,240 Speaker 1: Texans and what they've done thus far in free agency, 259 00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:42,240 Speaker 1: we're ninety nine point nine shirts a quarterback at too. 260 00:13:42,679 --> 00:13:45,160 Speaker 1: We'll leave just the opening of something crazy happening, but 261 00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:47,880 Speaker 1: I don't see it happening. But at twelve and potentially 262 00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:51,000 Speaker 1: thirty three, have what the Texans done in free agency 263 00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:55,520 Speaker 1: changed your mind as to what they would have done 264 00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:57,840 Speaker 1: and maybe now what they'll do because of what they've 265 00:13:57,880 --> 00:14:02,640 Speaker 1: done in free agency signing two free agent defensive tackles rankings, 266 00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:06,240 Speaker 1: Ridgeway tells me they're going to use their other number 267 00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:10,280 Speaker 1: one pick on an edge rusher, and they need an 268 00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:15,439 Speaker 1: edge rusher desperately issue guys. No, Demiko had three number 269 00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:18,720 Speaker 1: one picks in his defensive life with the forty nine ers, 270 00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:22,800 Speaker 1: none in his back seven, and we've heard him talk 271 00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:27,520 Speaker 1: multiple times about the importance of dominating up front. Now, 272 00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:31,000 Speaker 1: if Cassio can get a center like say the Jets 273 00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:35,440 Speaker 1: Connor McGovern not the Cowboys Connor mcgovernment, the Jets Connor 274 00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:41,320 Speaker 1: mcgovernors started every game last season, or maybe used the 275 00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:45,000 Speaker 1: second round pick on a guy like John Michael Smith's 276 00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:48,720 Speaker 1: or Joe Tipman, the two top centers, they're gonna have 277 00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:52,280 Speaker 1: an offensive line that can dominate. Shack Mason was a 278 00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:55,960 Speaker 1: great move, a trade, not free agency. But I think 279 00:14:56,040 --> 00:14:59,800 Speaker 1: that they'll use the second number one on a pass rusher, 280 00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:03,160 Speaker 1: and if they don't use if they don't get a 281 00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:06,200 Speaker 1: free agent center, I think they'll use the second round 282 00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:09,760 Speaker 1: think on a wide receiver. Really good value begins on 283 00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:12,920 Speaker 1: wide receivers in the second round. I see a lot 284 00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:16,440 Speaker 1: of national people have them thinking a wide receiver twelve. 285 00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:19,760 Speaker 1: I'd be shocked, all right. But having said all that, 286 00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:24,840 Speaker 1: I think part of John's John Harris's question was, how 287 00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:29,000 Speaker 1: does this change your perception your projection of what they 288 00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:31,200 Speaker 1: might do this year? Look, we tell the draft to go, 289 00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:34,520 Speaker 1: but where do you have them finishing? And we're gonna 290 00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:36,600 Speaker 1: hold you to this prediction and you have to put 291 00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:38,760 Speaker 1: money on it. I'm kidding, But what does it due 292 00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:42,160 Speaker 1: to the perception nationally and with you personally of what 293 00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:44,880 Speaker 1: the Texas have done at this time of year doesn't 294 00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:47,280 Speaker 1: tell you squat about the way they're going to play 295 00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:50,120 Speaker 1: on the field. Look at all the teams that win March. 296 00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:53,000 Speaker 1: I think the Sarrio's done a good job with five 297 00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:56,040 Speaker 1: or six of the players. The others I have no clue. 298 00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:59,120 Speaker 1: He has the same philosophy of one and two year 299 00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:03,280 Speaker 1: contracts and you'll get the best these guys have to 300 00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:06,800 Speaker 1: offer on one year deals. I think the Jaguars will 301 00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:10,400 Speaker 1: be picked first like they were picked first in twenty 302 00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:13,920 Speaker 1: eighteen when they almost made the Super Bowl, and because 303 00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:16,880 Speaker 1: we got a franchise quarterback. They should be picked first 304 00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:20,400 Speaker 1: based on what happened last season. And then the battle 305 00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:23,480 Speaker 1: is for last place in the Head to South, second 306 00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:28,280 Speaker 1: and last between three teams capable of finishing second, third, 307 00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:30,920 Speaker 1: or fourth. It's just a matter of how many games 308 00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:35,560 Speaker 1: they're gonna win, I think we'll see significant improvement on 309 00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:39,000 Speaker 1: both sides of the ball under Damik O'Ryan's and they 310 00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:41,920 Speaker 1: they can win five or six games, it'd be great. 311 00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:45,120 Speaker 1: Like Gary could be at came in in one, sixth 312 00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:48,640 Speaker 1: after two, and this time next year we might be 313 00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:54,600 Speaker 1: talking about playoffs. Oh the p word. Okay, this is 314 00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:56,720 Speaker 1: gonna be an This is gonna be an odd question. 315 00:16:56,840 --> 00:17:00,480 Speaker 1: But it's only because I'm watching the Rose Bowl last 316 00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:04,760 Speaker 1: year or High City against Utah. If Marvin Harrison Junior 317 00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:07,119 Speaker 1: were in this job, these questions were both of you. General, 318 00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:11,040 Speaker 1: you go first. If Marvin Harrison Junior were in this draft, 319 00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:15,040 Speaker 1: would you take him at number two? No, I wouldn't 320 00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:17,879 Speaker 1: take a wide receiver number two. I'd take a quarterback 321 00:17:18,280 --> 00:17:21,080 Speaker 1: because if you get Marvin Harrison Junior and you don't 322 00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:24,320 Speaker 1: have anybody can get into football, you're just wasting your time. 323 00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:29,120 Speaker 1: And I can't remember who it was. Last week there 324 00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:33,600 Speaker 1: was some former general manager and I can't remember if 325 00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:35,480 Speaker 1: I saw it or read it because it was in Vegas, 326 00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:39,280 Speaker 1: Vegas all week partying, but he said, if you don't 327 00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:42,720 Speaker 1: fix your offensive line or a young quarterback, and you 328 00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:46,760 Speaker 1: focus on wide receivers, you're spinning your wheels. You've got 329 00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:50,359 Speaker 1: to take care of him up one. And Marvin Harrison 330 00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:52,880 Speaker 1: Junior may be the best player in college football this year. 331 00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:56,280 Speaker 1: He may be the best player of college football next year. 332 00:17:56,400 --> 00:17:58,200 Speaker 1: But I don't he's not going to be the first 333 00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:02,040 Speaker 1: pick right now. With Williams and may is the top 334 00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:05,600 Speaker 1: quarterback PROS players, he may go third. And he's big time, 335 00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:09,399 Speaker 1: a lot bigger than his daddy. And that's the thing 336 00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:12,719 Speaker 1: that worries me about Stroud. He had all these great receivers, 337 00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:15,959 Speaker 1: and Bryce Young this year didn't have a great receiver. 338 00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:20,800 Speaker 1: And I love Stroud's answer to combine, So why didn't 339 00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:24,280 Speaker 1: you run more? He said, I got receivers getting open. 340 00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:26,879 Speaker 1: They never let me hear the end of it if 341 00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:28,840 Speaker 1: I didn't get him in the football, and I decided 342 00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:31,280 Speaker 1: to run. And I thought that was a great answer 343 00:18:31,359 --> 00:18:34,240 Speaker 1: because he's mobile. But when you got that kind of talent, 344 00:18:34,320 --> 00:18:36,399 Speaker 1: you got to get him in the football. And Marvin 345 00:18:36,440 --> 00:18:39,520 Speaker 1: Harrison Junior was one of them. Can you imagine if 346 00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:42,520 Speaker 1: Jackson Smith and Jake Budd been healthy and those two 347 00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:46,119 Speaker 1: guys have been there for every single game last season, 348 00:18:46,320 --> 00:18:50,119 Speaker 1: My goodness, they'd have been even better. Well, my answer 349 00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:54,200 Speaker 1: to the Marvin Harrison question is his name is Marvin Harrison, 350 00:18:54,680 --> 00:18:56,920 Speaker 1: and I got a problem with that. All right. I'll 351 00:18:57,000 --> 00:18:59,119 Speaker 1: let it go, I guess, but I wouldn't take him 352 00:18:59,119 --> 00:19:03,640 Speaker 1: a number two general. What about rules proposals for next week? 353 00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:07,920 Speaker 1: NFL meetings about to get under way on Sunday, Competition 354 00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:11,720 Speaker 1: Committee getting together now. One of the things they're discussing 355 00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:13,880 Speaker 1: is bringing them all out to the twenty five yard 356 00:19:13,960 --> 00:19:16,120 Speaker 1: line during punts instead of the twenty. All right, that's 357 00:19:16,119 --> 00:19:18,280 Speaker 1: a pretty late move, but it makes sense. Andrea Ware 358 00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:21,080 Speaker 1: always complains about that during our broadcasts. What do you 359 00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:22,960 Speaker 1: think of what might go down next week in the 360 00:19:23,119 --> 00:19:26,200 Speaker 1: rules department? The one, to me, there's the no brainers 361 00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:28,560 Speaker 1: one they used to have, and I don't know why 362 00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:32,200 Speaker 1: they got away from it, having the third quarterback available 363 00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:34,600 Speaker 1: if the first two games hurt, why did they get 364 00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:36,840 Speaker 1: rid of that? And so they got to see the 365 00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:40,520 Speaker 1: forty nine ers struggle before they decided to put it back. Then, 366 00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:43,400 Speaker 1: to me, that's got to be a no brainer. Coming 367 00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:46,480 Speaker 1: to the twenty five. That's great too, you know, the 368 00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:51,680 Speaker 1: two pointer. I don't see them doing that, and they're 369 00:19:51,800 --> 00:19:56,480 Speaker 1: you know, they move slowly on the rules changes, but 370 00:19:56,600 --> 00:19:59,800 Speaker 1: those are two that I'm sure they're going to adopt. 371 00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:02,560 Speaker 1: General before we got on the air, probably, Oh, I 372 00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:04,159 Speaker 1: don't know. About forty five minutes. An hour before we 373 00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:08,680 Speaker 1: got on the air, the NFL Network newsbreakers sent on 374 00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:15,879 Speaker 1: a memo discussing unlicensed advisor Ken Francis, who has been 375 00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:22,760 Speaker 1: contacting teams on behalf of Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson. Why General, 376 00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:26,080 Speaker 1: does this feel like an absolute total mess going on 377 00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:29,440 Speaker 1: right now with Lamar Jackson? Because it is an absolute 378 00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:34,159 Speaker 1: total mess with Lamar Jackson. Now he's got advisers, Lammy 379 00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:38,120 Speaker 1: tonsol at advisors, and those advisors did a great job 380 00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:42,359 Speaker 1: for Tonsil. You're not they're not supposed to negotiate and 381 00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:45,560 Speaker 1: they're not supposed to talk to any teams unless they're 382 00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:48,919 Speaker 1: certified agents. Now you can get a guy to agree 383 00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:51,879 Speaker 1: to get paid by the hour and be an advisor 384 00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:55,280 Speaker 1: instead of getting three percent of liking Tonsils. He don't 385 00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:58,000 Speaker 1: want to give up three percent of seventy five million. 386 00:20:58,040 --> 00:21:01,560 Speaker 1: I don't blame him. He's been real smart in both 387 00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:05,000 Speaker 1: of his negotiations. That made him the high staid lyneman 388 00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:10,440 Speaker 1: in history twice and Lamar Jackson. They said his mother's 389 00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:14,520 Speaker 1: his agent. Well she's not certified. And there was another 390 00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:17,440 Speaker 1: guy they talked about calling teams. What was the name 391 00:21:17,520 --> 00:21:21,800 Speaker 1: of Taney or something like that. And so he's got 392 00:21:21,920 --> 00:21:25,520 Speaker 1: two guys making calls for him, and it's Lamar who 393 00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:29,160 Speaker 1: asked to do the negotiating, and he doesn't have time 394 00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:33,480 Speaker 1: to do that. It's a fiasco. And I can understand 395 00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:37,359 Speaker 1: him one to see money, but my goodness, it's just 396 00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:41,840 Speaker 1: not what is in his best interest at this point. 397 00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:44,959 Speaker 1: General don't find me, but I've missed most of your 398 00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:47,800 Speaker 1: appearances on Sports Radio six ten this week, So tell me. 399 00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:51,480 Speaker 1: Do you like the World Baseball Classic? Do you think 400 00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:54,280 Speaker 1: it has a good place in the baseball landscape. I 401 00:21:54,320 --> 00:21:56,720 Speaker 1: always think it's interesting that football really doesn't have any 402 00:21:56,800 --> 00:22:00,600 Speaker 1: international event. I know there is international football played, but 403 00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:03,160 Speaker 1: it's just not like the US can play anybody else. 404 00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:08,080 Speaker 1: So I find it interesting in these other sports like baseball, soccer, basketball, 405 00:22:08,119 --> 00:22:10,359 Speaker 1: when you can do this and it's semi meaningful at 406 00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:12,760 Speaker 1: the very least. What do you think? I don't know 407 00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:15,280 Speaker 1: what the heck you were doing. Listen all my appearances 408 00:22:15,359 --> 00:22:18,679 Speaker 1: on Sports Radio six pen and you will be fine. 409 00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:23,280 Speaker 1: I never paid Attenac before because I was ORed Astro 410 00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:26,560 Speaker 1: spring training those first nine days and all the players 411 00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:30,400 Speaker 1: are talking about it, media coaches, Dusty Baker, so I'll 412 00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:33,480 Speaker 1: followed it, and I thought it was great. I was 413 00:22:33,560 --> 00:22:36,600 Speaker 1: in Las Vegas at Caesar's Palace and my buddy Gary 414 00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:41,040 Speaker 1: Hoorn and his wife Kelly, and we're watching the college 415 00:22:41,080 --> 00:22:43,720 Speaker 1: basketball and there's a little TV that's got w b 416 00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:46,639 Speaker 1: C on it, and I see al who they had 417 00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:48,960 Speaker 1: to play, get hit in the hand, and I said, 418 00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:52,440 Speaker 1: holly bleep. And they thought I was watching one of 419 00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:54,600 Speaker 1: the games. And they're like, what what I said? Alf 420 00:22:54,840 --> 00:22:59,000 Speaker 1: there is in trouble now that that was terrible. You know, 421 00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:03,119 Speaker 1: Edwin Daz, that's closer. But you'd get hurt anytime. I mean, 422 00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:06,120 Speaker 1: look at Rheese Hopkins of the Phillies got hurt today 423 00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:10,480 Speaker 1: knee injury, and he wasn't doing anything, and so I 424 00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:13,720 Speaker 1: thought it was great. It doesn't mean to us what 425 00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:17,520 Speaker 1: it means to other countries. I've listen to the Japanese 426 00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:21,119 Speaker 1: broadcast or the Tiny's striking out throughout in one of 427 00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:25,000 Speaker 1: the most dramatic moments I've seen in my sports history 428 00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:27,880 Speaker 1: of watching, and I listened to that play by play 429 00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:31,200 Speaker 1: guys screaming, and they said, like it was a holiday 430 00:23:31,280 --> 00:23:34,399 Speaker 1: in Japan, and like thirty million may have been watching it, 431 00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:38,040 Speaker 1: So yes, it was great. I just was more of 432 00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:41,680 Speaker 1: the Major league pictures of good ones. The starters would 433 00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:44,520 Speaker 1: get involved, because with forty one year old Adam Wainwright, 434 00:23:44,920 --> 00:23:48,440 Speaker 1: he's your main starter. You know something's wrong, general, What 435 00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:51,240 Speaker 1: do you have going on in your various platforms. I 436 00:23:51,359 --> 00:23:55,520 Speaker 1: got my second Monk draft on on gewry sports dot com. 437 00:23:55,560 --> 00:23:57,879 Speaker 1: I got a column on Caserio and his news on 438 00:23:58,359 --> 00:24:02,040 Speaker 1: sports Radio sixteen dot com. And something we'll hear about 439 00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:07,879 Speaker 1: next week is the Washington Commander's sale, and Gillman for 440 00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:10,480 Speaker 1: Tita is right in the middle of it, and I 441 00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:13,119 Speaker 1: think they'd be great if for Tita got it. I 442 00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:16,879 Speaker 1: think the favorite is Josh Harrison Mitchell Rails two billionaires. 443 00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:19,840 Speaker 1: Harris tried to get the Broncos, didn't. He owns the 444 00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:22,359 Speaker 1: six Ers and the Devils. And it's gonna be no 445 00:24:22,600 --> 00:24:25,320 Speaker 1: votes or anything, but people are gonna be talking about 446 00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:27,960 Speaker 1: the Commanders, so that means they're gonna be talking about 447 00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:30,920 Speaker 1: Tilma for Tita, and I'm writing to Tolumn about that 448 00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:34,399 Speaker 1: for tomorrow. All right, Thank you very much, general, have 449 00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:36,960 Speaker 1: a great weekend. Thank you guys. Look forward to seeing 450 00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:39,760 Speaker 1: you next week. Next week and we will have Texans 451 00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:43,280 Speaker 1: All Access from the NFL meetings on Monday and Tuesday, 452 00:24:43,359 --> 00:24:47,040 Speaker 1: maybe Wednesday too, we'll see, among others, we will catch 453 00:24:47,160 --> 00:24:50,680 Speaker 1: up with chairman and CEO Cal McNair, so that's gonna 454 00:24:50,680 --> 00:24:56,680 Speaker 1: be fun. Also, next up, who's better? We've got quarterbacks? Yes, 455 00:24:56,760 --> 00:24:59,320 Speaker 1: there is a World Baseball Classic related to the NFL 456 00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:02,520 Speaker 1: somewhat question as well. We'll do all of that next 457 00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:07,640 Speaker 1: here on Texans Radio. Mord Texans Radio is on the way. 458 00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:14,159 Speaker 1: We return to Texans All excess. Man, we do just 459 00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:17,639 Speaker 1: like that. That's awesome. Mark Vandermerin, John Harris with you, 460 00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:22,760 Speaker 1: and it's time to play who's better. Let's get to it, Johnny, 461 00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:25,159 Speaker 1: and I'll throw you the first one here. This is 462 00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:29,199 Speaker 1: a quarterback question, and it's a little tricky, it's alarming, 463 00:25:29,520 --> 00:25:34,840 Speaker 1: and it's thought provoking. Who's better right now? Trevor Lawrence 464 00:25:35,160 --> 00:25:40,760 Speaker 1: or Deshaun Watson. Never mind the contract, never mind anything else, 465 00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:45,480 Speaker 1: never mind rookie contract for Lawrence. Who's better? Throw it 466 00:25:45,560 --> 00:25:51,480 Speaker 1: to me, Trevor Lawrence. I had Trevor Lawrence number one overall. 467 00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:56,080 Speaker 1: He's the highest radio quarterback I've had. I think in 468 00:25:56,240 --> 00:26:01,840 Speaker 1: doing this, maybe Joe Burrow maybe think maybe Joe's top 469 00:26:01,920 --> 00:26:04,000 Speaker 1: five at least. I can't remember where I had him though, 470 00:26:04,359 --> 00:26:06,920 Speaker 1: but Trevor was number one. He was number one from 471 00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:09,120 Speaker 1: the time he said foot on the field as a freshman, 472 00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:12,080 Speaker 1: at the time he got ready for the draft. I 473 00:26:12,280 --> 00:26:15,040 Speaker 1: just think Trevor. I mean, I think the world of Trevor. 474 00:26:15,080 --> 00:26:17,160 Speaker 1: I mean, you know that you and I have talked 475 00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:20,320 Speaker 1: about that. A ton doesn't mean I don't believe in 476 00:26:20,359 --> 00:26:23,840 Speaker 1: de Shawn obviously, you know, Sean did some tremendous things, 477 00:26:24,320 --> 00:26:28,320 Speaker 1: tremendous things, and I think I think that DeShawn bounces 478 00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:30,320 Speaker 1: back this year, and I think it's gonna be scary 479 00:26:30,359 --> 00:26:32,760 Speaker 1: for the AFC North. I do think he bounces back. 480 00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:37,560 Speaker 1: But I felt like Trevor came into the league polished 481 00:26:38,600 --> 00:26:41,320 Speaker 1: and ready to roll, and then he just was stuck 482 00:26:41,359 --> 00:26:44,120 Speaker 1: in the Urban Meyers situation. And I thought a really 483 00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:47,240 Speaker 1: interesting and I can't remember who told us this. Was 484 00:26:47,280 --> 00:26:49,920 Speaker 1: it James Palmer or maybe Frank May I think Frank 485 00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:54,040 Speaker 1: may have told us this, that Trevor Lawrence. There was 486 00:26:54,080 --> 00:26:56,560 Speaker 1: a game in which he threw a pick and he 487 00:26:56,720 --> 00:26:58,240 Speaker 1: kind of was trying to do it on his own 488 00:26:58,800 --> 00:27:01,159 Speaker 1: and he finally realized it kind of gave into the 489 00:27:01,240 --> 00:27:04,240 Speaker 1: coaching at Doug Peterson, and that's really when the Jaguars 490 00:27:04,280 --> 00:27:07,840 Speaker 1: went to a different level. So I think it is. 491 00:27:09,040 --> 00:27:13,119 Speaker 1: I think it has been Trevor Lawrence all along, and 492 00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:16,479 Speaker 1: not that there separates a ton, but take contract out, 493 00:27:16,520 --> 00:27:19,440 Speaker 1: all that out. I think Trevor is an overall better, 494 00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:23,880 Speaker 1: better passer. He's a more accurate passer. I think he's 495 00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:26,920 Speaker 1: less risky with the football, and Trevor can go run 496 00:27:26,960 --> 00:27:28,879 Speaker 1: if he needs to, not as not as well as 497 00:27:28,920 --> 00:27:31,119 Speaker 1: Deshaun can. I mean, obviously we saw that, but I 498 00:27:31,280 --> 00:27:33,920 Speaker 1: think all told it would be like Trevor Lawrence is 499 00:27:33,960 --> 00:27:37,080 Speaker 1: a you know, a ninety six and Deshawn's a ninety 500 00:27:37,520 --> 00:27:41,040 Speaker 1: four point eight. You know, it's it's that close. They're 501 00:27:41,080 --> 00:27:43,840 Speaker 1: that talented. But I think Trevor I would just give 502 00:27:44,560 --> 00:27:46,360 Speaker 1: I would give everything too. I think his decision making 503 00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:49,000 Speaker 1: coming into the league was better and I think it's 504 00:27:49,040 --> 00:27:51,440 Speaker 1: maybe even better than Deshawn's is now if Deshawn's played 505 00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:53,320 Speaker 1: a few years. But you just don't know what DeShawn 506 00:27:53,359 --> 00:27:56,400 Speaker 1: obviously is gonna be. I think he's gonna be better. 507 00:27:56,520 --> 00:27:58,720 Speaker 1: But I mean, when he didn't play for two years 508 00:27:58,800 --> 00:28:01,480 Speaker 1: and he signed contract, you carry the weight of the 509 00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:04,080 Speaker 1: franchise on your back. And now you're playing Cleveland, and 510 00:28:04,119 --> 00:28:06,080 Speaker 1: of course he comes back when the weather's bad, so 511 00:28:06,320 --> 00:28:08,119 Speaker 1: he's got to play and that it's just that's not 512 00:28:08,280 --> 00:28:10,600 Speaker 1: his cup of tea. He's never done that before, so 513 00:28:10,920 --> 00:28:13,159 Speaker 1: he's got to adjust and adapt that, especially later in 514 00:28:13,160 --> 00:28:14,480 Speaker 1: the years. So we'll see how he does it. But 515 00:28:15,200 --> 00:28:17,040 Speaker 1: I think he's gonna be much much better this year. 516 00:28:17,080 --> 00:28:19,520 Speaker 1: And on the flip side, I think Trevor Lawrence is 517 00:28:19,560 --> 00:28:21,600 Speaker 1: gonna be that much better too, and that's scary. Yeah, 518 00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:23,879 Speaker 1: I think the decision making off the field is a 519 00:28:23,960 --> 00:28:26,680 Speaker 1: lot better when you're picking waffle House compared to some 520 00:28:26,840 --> 00:28:29,360 Speaker 1: of the things the other quarterback. Never mind, we don't 521 00:28:29,400 --> 00:28:31,840 Speaker 1: have to talk about that, but let's talk about this 522 00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:34,720 Speaker 1: related to it. We're playing who's better. But I got 523 00:28:34,840 --> 00:28:37,440 Speaker 1: to take a side tangent here because as I'm putting 524 00:28:37,480 --> 00:28:40,880 Speaker 1: this question together, I'm thinking about Justin Herbert, Joe Burrow, 525 00:28:41,040 --> 00:28:44,320 Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes, Aaron Rodgers, and then Watson's name kind of 526 00:28:44,360 --> 00:28:47,160 Speaker 1: came into my mind here. But what I'm thinking about, 527 00:28:47,320 --> 00:28:50,320 Speaker 1: is is Lawrence no worse than maybe the seventh best 528 00:28:50,440 --> 00:28:54,440 Speaker 1: quarterback in the NFL? Right now? That's frightening. I don't 529 00:28:54,440 --> 00:28:56,480 Speaker 1: know where you put him because who else am I 530 00:28:56,600 --> 00:29:02,040 Speaker 1: forgetting here? Rogers? Obviously cousins. But if you Burrow, Mahomes, Rogers, Watson, 531 00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:04,880 Speaker 1: Herbert all in front of Lawrence, that puts him at six? 532 00:29:05,320 --> 00:29:09,200 Speaker 1: And then who else are we forgetting? Josh Allen? That's true, 533 00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:11,960 Speaker 1: You've got Josh Allen. I mean where do you put 534 00:29:12,080 --> 00:29:15,720 Speaker 1: Lamar in this whole thing? Here's the problem, Mark, If 535 00:29:15,840 --> 00:29:21,400 Speaker 1: you just went through the AFC, go through east, north, southwest, 536 00:29:21,680 --> 00:29:25,479 Speaker 1: Josh Allen to a ton of Iloa, Joe Burrow, Lamar Jackson, 537 00:29:25,560 --> 00:29:32,880 Speaker 1: the Shawn Watson, Trevor Lawrence, Patrick Mahomes, justin Herbert. Could 538 00:29:32,920 --> 00:29:34,920 Speaker 1: you make a case those are the top ten quarterbacks 539 00:29:34,960 --> 00:29:36,880 Speaker 1: in league? Yeah? Oh, and then throw Rogers in there 540 00:29:36,880 --> 00:29:39,360 Speaker 1: when he gets to the Jets. You could say the 541 00:29:39,440 --> 00:29:42,560 Speaker 1: top ten quarterbacks are all in the AFC. I mean, 542 00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:44,920 Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts, you'd throw in there a top ten that's 543 00:29:44,960 --> 00:29:48,239 Speaker 1: one other than that? Who are you thrown in there? 544 00:29:48,320 --> 00:29:52,479 Speaker 1: From the NFC? I mean Brock Purty, I mean who 545 00:29:52,520 --> 00:29:54,240 Speaker 1: do you throw in there from the NFC, you don't. 546 00:29:54,560 --> 00:29:58,720 Speaker 1: All the great quarterbacks are over in the AFC. And 547 00:29:58,800 --> 00:30:02,400 Speaker 1: hopefully when it's x's picking number two, that guy becomes 548 00:30:02,440 --> 00:30:05,160 Speaker 1: the next part of that top ten, be it CJ. 549 00:30:05,280 --> 00:30:08,200 Speaker 1: Stroddor Bryce Young. So that's the hope. But man, you 550 00:30:08,320 --> 00:30:11,280 Speaker 1: better find a gun slinger, because every week you are 551 00:30:11,360 --> 00:30:15,640 Speaker 1: facing dang it, it's Herbert this week. Oh man, it's Mahomes, 552 00:30:16,440 --> 00:30:20,440 Speaker 1: it's DeShawn, it's Lamar. I mean, you're facing weekend week 553 00:30:20,480 --> 00:30:23,040 Speaker 1: out in some cases. You know, if you're sitting in there, 554 00:30:23,120 --> 00:30:25,240 Speaker 1: if you're sitting in the ANFC East, say you're the 555 00:30:26,360 --> 00:30:29,440 Speaker 1: say you're the Patriots. You face Alan twice, face two 556 00:30:29,520 --> 00:30:33,080 Speaker 1: or twice, and now you're gonna face Rogers twice. Six year, 557 00:30:33,320 --> 00:30:36,400 Speaker 1: seventeen games against those three guys. Man, that's that's gonna 558 00:30:36,400 --> 00:30:41,440 Speaker 1: be rough going in New England. But have fun. Right now, 559 00:30:41,680 --> 00:30:47,560 Speaker 1: who's better Joe Burrow or Aaron Rodgers? Joe Burrow? I 560 00:30:47,720 --> 00:30:50,480 Speaker 1: just I'll say that Joe Burrow the caveat. Here's here's 561 00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:54,040 Speaker 1: the caveat. If Aaron Rodgers goes to the Jets with 562 00:30:54,160 --> 00:30:56,480 Speaker 1: a massive chip on his shoulder to prove everybody wrong, 563 00:30:56,560 --> 00:31:01,080 Speaker 1: it's Aaron Rodgers. But I don't know if Aaron Rodgers 564 00:31:01,200 --> 00:31:04,040 Speaker 1: will go there to prove something or if he'll go 565 00:31:04,280 --> 00:31:07,400 Speaker 1: there lamenting what he left behind. And I think that's 566 00:31:07,440 --> 00:31:10,560 Speaker 1: a big factor. If he goes to New York and 567 00:31:10,600 --> 00:31:12,520 Speaker 1: it's always well, you know we did this in Green Bay, 568 00:31:12,720 --> 00:31:14,480 Speaker 1: but we did this in Green Bay as opposed to 569 00:31:14,680 --> 00:31:17,880 Speaker 1: you know what, watch me, watch me with these jets, 570 00:31:18,280 --> 00:31:20,360 Speaker 1: watch what I do, and watch what we do. And 571 00:31:20,440 --> 00:31:24,120 Speaker 1: he has that philosophy the whole way through. Then I 572 00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:25,800 Speaker 1: think the Jets are gonna be scary, and I think 573 00:31:25,800 --> 00:31:28,120 Speaker 1: I would it would be Rogers for me at that point. 574 00:31:28,280 --> 00:31:31,480 Speaker 1: But if Rogers is spending each week complaining about things, 575 00:31:31,880 --> 00:31:34,560 Speaker 1: He's say, well, this isn't like Green Bay, and then 576 00:31:34,640 --> 00:31:37,960 Speaker 1: he's then it's Burrow, no doubt. Now long term, obviously 577 00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:41,000 Speaker 1: it's Burrow. But I think in a one game situation 578 00:31:41,560 --> 00:31:45,120 Speaker 1: with Rogers hair on fire, if you will with him 579 00:31:45,160 --> 00:31:48,760 Speaker 1: with something to prove, it's Aaron Rodgers. Interesting. I'm liking 580 00:31:48,800 --> 00:31:52,200 Speaker 1: this conversation, all right, Johnny. Next up, who's better for 581 00:31:52,520 --> 00:31:55,520 Speaker 1: his sport, not in his sport, but for the game 582 00:31:55,640 --> 00:32:01,040 Speaker 1: for his sport? Lebron James or Tom Brady. Brady just retired. 583 00:32:01,120 --> 00:32:04,040 Speaker 1: But look, until we see the kickoff occur in September 584 00:32:04,120 --> 00:32:07,720 Speaker 1: without him, I'm doubting things. So who's better for his sport? 585 00:32:07,880 --> 00:32:10,440 Speaker 1: We go retro with this anyway, what are your thoughts? Well, 586 00:32:10,480 --> 00:32:13,000 Speaker 1: I want to add a third one in there. I 587 00:32:13,160 --> 00:32:16,400 Speaker 1: think the guy that's maybe the best for his sport. 588 00:32:16,440 --> 00:32:18,720 Speaker 1: I was waiting for this considering how Wednesday night went 589 00:32:18,800 --> 00:32:22,240 Speaker 1: or Tuesday night, whatever night that was Showy Otani in 590 00:32:22,400 --> 00:32:26,240 Speaker 1: baseball because I think it's him. I think in baseball, 591 00:32:26,880 --> 00:32:29,160 Speaker 1: we look around the league and look, they're great players 592 00:32:29,160 --> 00:32:32,400 Speaker 1: in Major League Baseball. Obviously, the Astros have a boatload 593 00:32:32,480 --> 00:32:38,320 Speaker 1: of great players. Otani is international, he is worldwide. He 594 00:32:38,680 --> 00:32:41,200 Speaker 1: is of a different ilk. I mean the fact that 595 00:32:41,280 --> 00:32:45,520 Speaker 1: he pitches and hits and does them both extremely well. 596 00:32:46,120 --> 00:32:48,560 Speaker 1: I think Otani is better than either one of them 597 00:32:48,680 --> 00:32:51,440 Speaker 1: for their particular sports. If I had to pick between 598 00:32:51,480 --> 00:32:57,280 Speaker 1: those two, I probably would say Lebron. I mean, when 599 00:32:57,360 --> 00:32:59,640 Speaker 1: you say the name Lebron, everybody knows he's talking about you. 600 00:32:59,720 --> 00:33:04,680 Speaker 1: Say named Tom like Tom seltlick. Okay, I mean Tom 601 00:33:04,760 --> 00:33:06,640 Speaker 1: Brady was great for the NFL. I don't get me wrong, 602 00:33:06,960 --> 00:33:11,680 Speaker 1: but DNFL is that much more of a team driven sport, 603 00:33:12,520 --> 00:33:16,760 Speaker 1: and Tom stood out. Obviously you recognize Tom was helmet off. 604 00:33:17,240 --> 00:33:21,600 Speaker 1: But Lebron is like Lebron. Now, I've heard Landry talk 605 00:33:21,640 --> 00:33:23,200 Speaker 1: about this, and I think this is true. I think 606 00:33:23,280 --> 00:33:26,960 Speaker 1: there are some things that have been crafted during Lebron's 607 00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:30,040 Speaker 1: time in the league that have changed the NBA, and 608 00:33:30,080 --> 00:33:31,840 Speaker 1: I don't know if they've changed it for the better. 609 00:33:32,920 --> 00:33:35,560 Speaker 1: Going to Miami, I'm taking my talents to South Beach. 610 00:33:36,040 --> 00:33:39,120 Speaker 1: You know, the load management stuff, you know. And I 611 00:33:39,240 --> 00:33:41,040 Speaker 1: do think that Lebron's a bit, you know, a little 612 00:33:41,080 --> 00:33:44,840 Speaker 1: bit corny too, But I think for the NBA, I 613 00:33:44,880 --> 00:33:47,160 Speaker 1: don't say it had fallen at hard times, but Jordan 614 00:33:47,280 --> 00:33:50,200 Speaker 1: was out of the league. Who was who was stepping 615 00:33:50,280 --> 00:33:53,360 Speaker 1: into that void? I mean the Spurs were all about 616 00:33:53,400 --> 00:33:55,360 Speaker 1: team and that was that was fun to watch because 617 00:33:55,360 --> 00:33:58,600 Speaker 1: it was about team. But Lebron came into league against like, 618 00:33:58,640 --> 00:34:01,440 Speaker 1: I gotta get the Lebron's shoe, I gotta be like Lebron. 619 00:34:01,520 --> 00:34:04,240 Speaker 1: I mean, nobody had been in that conversation with the 620 00:34:04,320 --> 00:34:06,520 Speaker 1: best player ever with Jordan, and all of sudden, Lebron 621 00:34:06,680 --> 00:34:09,279 Speaker 1: is there. So I think Lebron is that guy in 622 00:34:09,600 --> 00:34:11,600 Speaker 1: the NBA for sure. But I would go Tonny in 623 00:34:11,680 --> 00:34:15,240 Speaker 1: baseball Lebron basketball, and then I would go Tom Brady 624 00:34:15,480 --> 00:34:17,520 Speaker 1: in football. I'm with you on Lebron, and I was 625 00:34:17,560 --> 00:34:19,920 Speaker 1: hoping you'd say that because love him or hate him, 626 00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:21,560 Speaker 1: he is good for the game. He gets people to 627 00:34:21,600 --> 00:34:24,160 Speaker 1: talk about the NBA. And I know the player movement 628 00:34:24,239 --> 00:34:26,560 Speaker 1: is a turn off to some people, but there is 629 00:34:26,680 --> 00:34:29,560 Speaker 1: no way that as great as the Golden State Warriors 630 00:34:29,600 --> 00:34:33,160 Speaker 1: have been during their run here, there's no way that 631 00:34:33,320 --> 00:34:35,920 Speaker 1: guys like Curry are carrying this league the way Lebron does, 632 00:34:36,040 --> 00:34:39,520 Speaker 1: just carrying the image of it and the talk of it, 633 00:34:40,080 --> 00:34:43,279 Speaker 1: the buzz of the league, the way Lebron has. All Right, 634 00:34:43,320 --> 00:34:46,560 Speaker 1: I got one more for you here. Who's better? Dalton 635 00:34:46,719 --> 00:34:52,800 Speaker 1: Schultz or TJ. Hopkinson. Hockinson traded from the Lions to Minnesota. 636 00:34:52,960 --> 00:34:56,080 Speaker 1: Worked out for the Lions anyway, didn't it. But Dalton Schultz, 637 00:34:56,160 --> 00:34:58,320 Speaker 1: how good is he? Johnny? That's really what I'm getting 638 00:34:58,320 --> 00:35:00,160 Speaker 1: at here. How good is he compared to the They're 639 00:35:00,200 --> 00:35:02,480 Speaker 1: tight ends. I mean, it's a tough one with Hawkinson 640 00:35:03,040 --> 00:35:07,040 Speaker 1: because I think Hawkinson, Hawkinson's a complete tight end in 641 00:35:07,120 --> 00:35:09,480 Speaker 1: the fact and first of all, he's younger, but he's 642 00:35:09,520 --> 00:35:11,360 Speaker 1: a complete tight end. He's a guy that you can 643 00:35:11,400 --> 00:35:13,120 Speaker 1: play at the Why you play him at the move 644 00:35:13,200 --> 00:35:15,680 Speaker 1: tight end because he can he can block. Now he's 645 00:35:15,719 --> 00:35:18,080 Speaker 1: not the greatest blocker ever, but he is much more 646 00:35:18,120 --> 00:35:20,439 Speaker 1: physical at the point of attack. With Dalton, you're getting passed, 647 00:35:20,640 --> 00:35:25,040 Speaker 1: you're getting you're getting pass catching and that's what you're getting, 648 00:35:25,400 --> 00:35:27,840 Speaker 1: and that in this league, that's okay. I mean, if 649 00:35:27,880 --> 00:35:30,520 Speaker 1: you're getting a glorified big receiver, that's cool. The Texas 650 00:35:30,560 --> 00:35:32,520 Speaker 1: could use it, which goes back to my question about 651 00:35:32,560 --> 00:35:35,640 Speaker 1: Marvin Harrison Junior. The more pass catching weapons that you 652 00:35:35,760 --> 00:35:39,160 Speaker 1: can have on this team, I'll take them. I'll absolutely 653 00:35:39,239 --> 00:35:42,560 Speaker 1: take him because I don't know that you can. You 654 00:35:42,680 --> 00:35:44,960 Speaker 1: know why tight ends and put their hand in the 655 00:35:45,080 --> 00:35:47,560 Speaker 1: dirt aren't growing on trees. But you know, in twenty 656 00:35:47,640 --> 00:35:49,440 Speaker 1: twenty one they went and got Anthony lle Claire and 657 00:35:49,480 --> 00:35:52,759 Speaker 1: he wasn't bad as a blocker. You know, Quatorian is 658 00:35:52,800 --> 00:35:55,360 Speaker 1: gonna get better as a blocker. But what you didn't have, 659 00:35:56,000 --> 00:35:58,160 Speaker 1: I mean, you had Jordan Nakins, but Jordan Schultz is 660 00:35:58,520 --> 00:36:02,759 Speaker 1: that plus. So now you've got this really excellent pass 661 00:36:02,840 --> 00:36:07,080 Speaker 1: catching tight end. But Hockinson's he's a He's a complete 662 00:36:07,480 --> 00:36:09,480 Speaker 1: tight end. I mean the way he can block, where 663 00:36:09,520 --> 00:36:12,120 Speaker 1: the viki's can line him up. And look, he's also 664 00:36:12,160 --> 00:36:14,520 Speaker 1: got the advantage in some sense. And he's got Justin 665 00:36:14,600 --> 00:36:17,279 Speaker 1: Jefferson outside. Now you know he you know, now in 666 00:36:17,360 --> 00:36:20,960 Speaker 1: Detroit he had i'man Ross Saint Brown and that was it. 667 00:36:21,920 --> 00:36:23,399 Speaker 1: So that took a little heat off him, but still 668 00:36:23,440 --> 00:36:25,560 Speaker 1: he was gonna be the focus. Now you put him 669 00:36:25,600 --> 00:36:27,839 Speaker 1: in Minnesota, and now Justin Jefferson takes all the heat 670 00:36:27,880 --> 00:36:29,920 Speaker 1: off him. And now you got Hockinson against safeties and 671 00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:32,320 Speaker 1: he's winning that all day long. I think Hawkins is 672 00:36:32,360 --> 00:36:34,680 Speaker 1: a more complete player. But don't get me wrong, Dold 673 00:36:34,760 --> 00:36:40,759 Speaker 1: Schultz is mean, let's go tight ends, Kelsey Kittle, Howkinson. 674 00:36:42,320 --> 00:36:44,440 Speaker 1: I mean, Dold Schultz has got to be top seven 675 00:36:44,680 --> 00:36:47,840 Speaker 1: in that. You know, I know I'm forgetting Waller. You 676 00:36:47,960 --> 00:36:53,640 Speaker 1: put Waller in there, man, Maybe I don't know if 677 00:36:53,680 --> 00:36:55,279 Speaker 1: I put Dolton. I don't know if i'd put Higby 678 00:36:55,320 --> 00:36:56,959 Speaker 1: in front of Dalton. I don't know if I would 679 00:36:56,960 --> 00:37:00,360 Speaker 1: do that. And I know the tight ends around the've 680 00:37:00,360 --> 00:37:02,719 Speaker 1: gotten better. I mean, Evan Ingram, you'd have probably put 681 00:37:02,760 --> 00:37:04,680 Speaker 1: in a top ten. But you know who would rather 682 00:37:04,760 --> 00:37:07,279 Speaker 1: have Evan Ingram or Dalton Schultz. I would rather have 683 00:37:07,360 --> 00:37:10,480 Speaker 1: Shultz because I think Schultz is much more trustworthy. He 684 00:37:10,560 --> 00:37:12,920 Speaker 1: may not be quite the athlete Ingram is, but Ingram's 685 00:37:12,920 --> 00:37:16,160 Speaker 1: gonna drop a couple. He's gonna have the drops. I 686 00:37:16,200 --> 00:37:18,520 Speaker 1: don't think Dalton will. I think Dalton's gonna have good hands. 687 00:37:18,520 --> 00:37:20,520 Speaker 1: I think he's gonna catch seventy seventy five balls and 688 00:37:20,560 --> 00:37:23,280 Speaker 1: these days healthy, and he's gonna give this team exactly 689 00:37:23,320 --> 00:37:26,000 Speaker 1: what it needs on the interior passing game. All right, Johnny, 690 00:37:26,080 --> 00:37:28,719 Speaker 1: We've got one more segment for you, and it's gonna 691 00:37:28,760 --> 00:37:32,040 Speaker 1: be change your rule. I'm gonna be at the NFL meetings. 692 00:37:32,320 --> 00:37:34,200 Speaker 1: I can run these guys down and tell them what 693 00:37:34,360 --> 00:37:36,680 Speaker 1: rules to change. No, I can't, but I could dream. 694 00:37:37,040 --> 00:37:39,279 Speaker 1: Maybe I can talk to them during the reception and 695 00:37:39,400 --> 00:37:42,120 Speaker 1: suggest things you'd ever know. I could pull it to 696 00:37:42,200 --> 00:37:45,120 Speaker 1: Caprio inception. Somebody could have a dream and think of 697 00:37:45,280 --> 00:37:49,400 Speaker 1: something really cool. But you name one rule you want changed, 698 00:37:49,600 --> 00:37:52,040 Speaker 1: I will too, will do it next year On Texans Radio, 699 00:37:53,000 --> 00:37:59,000 Speaker 1: Chicksens Radio continues in a moment, Chicksens Radio is back, 700 00:38:01,280 --> 00:38:04,280 Speaker 1: all right. At the NFL meetings next week, of course, 701 00:38:04,600 --> 00:38:08,719 Speaker 1: many things will be discussed. Among them possible rule changes, 702 00:38:09,239 --> 00:38:12,240 Speaker 1: and the General talked about some of them. We mentioned 703 00:38:12,320 --> 00:38:16,759 Speaker 1: the Competition committee saying, hey, maybe the punt down to 704 00:38:16,840 --> 00:38:19,160 Speaker 1: punt in the end zone, the touchback should be to 705 00:38:19,280 --> 00:38:21,400 Speaker 1: the twenty five and not the twenty as it is 706 00:38:21,440 --> 00:38:24,880 Speaker 1: for the kickoff. Before we get into our own suggestions, Johnny, 707 00:38:24,960 --> 00:38:27,600 Speaker 1: this is something that Andrea always talks about during broadcast. 708 00:38:27,920 --> 00:38:30,399 Speaker 1: Why has won the twenty five and one the twenty Well, 709 00:38:30,440 --> 00:38:32,279 Speaker 1: now it seems like they might make both of them 710 00:38:32,360 --> 00:38:34,480 Speaker 1: the twenty five yard line, which is really going to 711 00:38:34,560 --> 00:38:38,239 Speaker 1: put an extra premium on Frank Ross's special teamers to 712 00:38:38,440 --> 00:38:40,680 Speaker 1: down the punt deep because man, it comes out to 713 00:38:40,760 --> 00:38:43,879 Speaker 1: the twenty five, that's a big bonus for the receiving team. Yeah, 714 00:38:44,000 --> 00:38:46,440 Speaker 1: no doubt that's it's gonna change some things. And you 715 00:38:46,520 --> 00:38:48,560 Speaker 1: gotta have the number one special teams unit in the 716 00:38:48,640 --> 00:38:51,279 Speaker 1: league to be good at that, and well we do 717 00:38:51,560 --> 00:38:53,880 Speaker 1: so hopefully that continues, but yeah, it's gonna be a 718 00:38:53,960 --> 00:38:58,040 Speaker 1: big thing. Gunners getting down there protecting the goal one. 719 00:38:58,040 --> 00:38:59,759 Speaker 1: You know, Chris Moore was great at that. I mean 720 00:38:59,880 --> 00:39:02,000 Speaker 1: he did that at Dallas. Remember that he had ten 721 00:39:02,080 --> 00:39:04,320 Speaker 1: catches that day, but one of his biggest players was 722 00:39:04,719 --> 00:39:06,440 Speaker 1: down in that ball at the one yard thought, I mean, 723 00:39:06,520 --> 00:39:09,680 Speaker 1: just I mean, that's a that's a big deal. Five yards. 724 00:39:09,760 --> 00:39:13,600 Speaker 1: But yeah, that's five yards. I mean, that's it's But 725 00:39:13,719 --> 00:39:16,719 Speaker 1: I like it. At least it's consistent. I can live 726 00:39:16,760 --> 00:39:19,880 Speaker 1: a consistence consistency, all right. So let's get into our 727 00:39:19,960 --> 00:39:22,480 Speaker 1: rule changes here. You tell me, okay, I get to 728 00:39:22,560 --> 00:39:26,120 Speaker 1: suggest a rule change to the brass of the NFL. 729 00:39:26,239 --> 00:39:29,640 Speaker 1: What do you want me to take with me to Phoenix? Okay, 730 00:39:29,960 --> 00:39:33,120 Speaker 1: here's mine. And this goes back to I crafted this 731 00:39:33,280 --> 00:39:37,920 Speaker 1: theory coming back from Seattle in twenty seventeen as Game 732 00:39:38,000 --> 00:39:40,760 Speaker 1: five of the World Series is going on. If you remember, 733 00:39:40,800 --> 00:39:44,640 Speaker 1: in that game, I'm third down. Russell Wilson went back 734 00:39:44,680 --> 00:39:47,440 Speaker 1: to throw, and when he did, Clowney hit his arm 735 00:39:47,760 --> 00:39:50,920 Speaker 1: and the ball came out like a spiral. But it 736 00:39:51,000 --> 00:39:53,680 Speaker 1: really was a fubble. But everybody thought it was incomplete 737 00:39:53,719 --> 00:39:56,040 Speaker 1: pass except for two people, Luke Wilson, the tighten the 738 00:39:56,080 --> 00:39:59,799 Speaker 1: Seahawks and Andrea Howe, the safety the Texans. But will 739 00:40:00,160 --> 00:40:04,120 Speaker 1: was that much closer. The ball went forward and Wilson 740 00:40:04,280 --> 00:40:08,640 Speaker 1: got on it, and it gave the Seahawks an opportunity 741 00:40:08,719 --> 00:40:11,480 Speaker 1: to kick a fuel goal. So my rule is this, 742 00:40:12,520 --> 00:40:15,920 Speaker 1: even if the offense recovers, doesn't matter who recovers. If 743 00:40:16,000 --> 00:40:18,560 Speaker 1: the offense recovers a fumble, the ball goes back to 744 00:40:18,680 --> 00:40:23,440 Speaker 1: the spot of the fumble, no matter what spot of 745 00:40:23,480 --> 00:40:26,360 Speaker 1: the fumble, that's where where it goes. If you fumbled 746 00:40:26,360 --> 00:40:28,440 Speaker 1: it beyond a lot of scrimmage and you recover it 747 00:40:28,520 --> 00:40:31,879 Speaker 1: fifty yards downfield, doesn't matter. It goes back to where 748 00:40:31,960 --> 00:40:37,520 Speaker 1: you fumbled the football. That's mine. And it also probably 749 00:40:37,560 --> 00:40:40,680 Speaker 1: goes with the ball going out of bounds into the 750 00:40:40,800 --> 00:40:43,440 Speaker 1: end zone. I hate that touchback rule. I hate it. 751 00:40:43,560 --> 00:40:46,120 Speaker 1: So I'd like to see if you fumble it going 752 00:40:46,160 --> 00:40:48,840 Speaker 1: out of bounds, it goes back to the spot of 753 00:40:48,920 --> 00:40:51,359 Speaker 1: the fumble. So if it's short six inches, your short 754 00:40:51,440 --> 00:40:57,080 Speaker 1: six inches, whatever. But I want every fumble recovered by 755 00:40:57,160 --> 00:41:00,640 Speaker 1: the offense to go back to the spot of the fumble, 756 00:41:01,440 --> 00:41:03,680 Speaker 1: and also those that go through the end zone to 757 00:41:03,760 --> 00:41:05,359 Speaker 1: go back to the spot of the fumble. I don't 758 00:41:05,360 --> 00:41:07,880 Speaker 1: want to reward the defense for not recovering it, and 759 00:41:07,920 --> 00:41:10,279 Speaker 1: I don't want to reward the offense because the ball 760 00:41:10,320 --> 00:41:12,480 Speaker 1: gets fumbled and kicked forward and they get ten twelve 761 00:41:12,560 --> 00:41:17,320 Speaker 1: yards out of that. So that's my rule. Okay, maybe 762 00:41:17,520 --> 00:41:19,560 Speaker 1: back through the well, through the back line of the 763 00:41:19,719 --> 00:41:23,600 Speaker 1: end zone, strack ten yards from the spot of the fumble. No, 764 00:41:23,640 --> 00:41:26,279 Speaker 1: I'm kidding. I don't think there's any real great way 765 00:41:26,320 --> 00:41:29,200 Speaker 1: to do that as far as not punishing the offense 766 00:41:29,239 --> 00:41:31,239 Speaker 1: because it feels like such a benefit compared to what 767 00:41:31,400 --> 00:41:34,080 Speaker 1: is going on. Now here's mine see what you think? 768 00:41:34,600 --> 00:41:37,839 Speaker 1: And we were there, we had this, we were there. 769 00:41:38,680 --> 00:41:40,480 Speaker 1: I want to be able to throw the flag, the 770 00:41:40,600 --> 00:41:47,600 Speaker 1: challenge flag for almost anything, but in particular pass interference 771 00:41:48,560 --> 00:41:51,480 Speaker 1: and holding. I want to be able to do it. 772 00:41:51,800 --> 00:41:54,000 Speaker 1: I want to be able to throw it, Johnny, I've 773 00:41:54,200 --> 00:41:58,640 Speaker 1: got to have that option. It's a challenge so it's 774 00:41:58,680 --> 00:42:01,000 Speaker 1: not going to slow the game down that much. Really, 775 00:42:01,440 --> 00:42:03,359 Speaker 1: how often is this really going to happen? I guess 776 00:42:03,440 --> 00:42:06,080 Speaker 1: once per game, which could have an effect. But I'm 777 00:42:06,120 --> 00:42:10,200 Speaker 1: okay with it, if you're okay with it. Thoughts, M Okay, 778 00:42:12,080 --> 00:42:14,799 Speaker 1: all right, yeah, we can go with it. I don't. 779 00:42:14,880 --> 00:42:16,279 Speaker 1: I don't have too much of your problem with it, 780 00:42:16,360 --> 00:42:19,359 Speaker 1: to be honest, So I mean I'll go with it. Um, 781 00:42:21,160 --> 00:42:23,960 Speaker 1: I'll chew on that a little bit, but I think 782 00:42:24,000 --> 00:42:28,320 Speaker 1: it's okay. Okay, I think it's good. Two good rules, 783 00:42:28,480 --> 00:42:31,080 Speaker 1: all right, two good rules. If they add they have 784 00:42:31,239 --> 00:42:34,480 Speaker 1: the touchback rule and those two. I think we're doing 785 00:42:34,560 --> 00:42:38,359 Speaker 1: some things now. I think we are because you want 786 00:42:38,400 --> 00:42:40,719 Speaker 1: to get the call right. Look, we always talk about this. 787 00:42:40,840 --> 00:42:45,320 Speaker 1: Everybody's got the HD four K, eight K, lots of 788 00:42:45,440 --> 00:42:49,880 Speaker 1: k's great views, great angles on their living room couch, 789 00:42:50,040 --> 00:42:51,440 Speaker 1: and I get it. The guys are looking at a 790 00:42:51,480 --> 00:42:54,520 Speaker 1: little tablet and it's really difficult for them to get 791 00:42:54,560 --> 00:42:56,000 Speaker 1: the same view. I know the guys in New York 792 00:42:56,040 --> 00:42:58,839 Speaker 1: have a great view, but somehow, some way, the right 793 00:42:58,920 --> 00:43:02,560 Speaker 1: call doesn't get made one hundred percent of the time. 794 00:43:02,600 --> 00:43:04,560 Speaker 1: I know you're always gonna make some mistakes, but man, 795 00:43:04,600 --> 00:43:06,800 Speaker 1: it should be so close to one hundred. We shouldn't 796 00:43:06,840 --> 00:43:10,720 Speaker 1: have any debate or almost any debate on these calls 797 00:43:10,920 --> 00:43:12,880 Speaker 1: or no calls. All right, that's gonna do it for 798 00:43:12,960 --> 00:43:15,640 Speaker 1: the show tonight tomorrow night. Got a lot to discuss. 799 00:43:15,719 --> 00:43:17,800 Speaker 1: I know, the incident of any tournament is a flame 800 00:43:17,960 --> 00:43:20,400 Speaker 1: right now, and everybody's really getting into it with the 801 00:43:20,480 --> 00:43:22,640 Speaker 1: long horns and the coops, and it's awesome. The final 802 00:43:22,719 --> 00:43:24,279 Speaker 1: four in the building. By the way, they rolled that 803 00:43:24,400 --> 00:43:28,480 Speaker 1: rodeo setup over to the final four extremely faster. They're 804 00:43:28,480 --> 00:43:30,359 Speaker 1: not done with the Final four setup, but they're making 805 00:43:30,400 --> 00:43:32,440 Speaker 1: a lot of progress and it's amazing to see it 806 00:43:32,680 --> 00:43:35,320 Speaker 1: when you're inside the building. Very cool stuff. Thank you Johnny, 807 00:43:35,360 --> 00:43:38,480 Speaker 1: thank you John McClain, and thank you Jose for producing. 808 00:43:38,760 --> 00:43:43,480 Speaker 1: Have a great evening, everyone, Go Texans.
