1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:00,880
Speaker 1: What's up everybody?

2
00:00:00,960 --> 00:00:03,160
Speaker 2: Welcome in to Monday edition to Texans All Access from

3
00:00:03,240 --> 00:00:07,240
Speaker 2: Monday Texans Radio Studio. I am your host, John Harris,

4
00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,160
Speaker 2: Football anal, a sideline reporter for your Houston Texans as

5
00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:14,400
Speaker 2: we get ready for the final week of the preseason.

6
00:00:14,520 --> 00:00:18,720
Speaker 2: Team practicing today kind of glorified. Walk through the practice

7
00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:21,759
Speaker 2: on Tuesday, Wednesday, and then Wednesday afternoon we will fly

8
00:00:22,040 --> 00:00:25,720
Speaker 2: to Detroit to get ready for joint practice with the

9
00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:29,840
Speaker 2: Lions on Thursday, day off production meetings on Friday, and

10
00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:32,440
Speaker 2: the game on Saturday, and we fly home Saturday.

11
00:00:32,479 --> 00:00:36,440
Speaker 3: The preseason will be over just like that.

12
00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:39,599
Speaker 2: Feels like it just got started, and it's over in

13
00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:44,400
Speaker 2: six days, five days, six days, however you want to

14
00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:47,360
Speaker 2: count it. It'll be over very soon. Then this team

15
00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:49,680
Speaker 2: will get down to fifty three man roster. It'll start

16
00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:52,560
Speaker 2: prepping for the Rams in week one. And oh, by

17
00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:55,400
Speaker 2: the way, the Rams at their quarterback back in practice today,

18
00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:57,920
Speaker 2: Matt Stafford saw a couple of video clips.

19
00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:00,440
Speaker 3: Looks okay, looks all right.

20
00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:02,640
Speaker 2: We'll see how he does and back to back days,

21
00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:05,720
Speaker 2: but looks like Matt Stafford is making his way back

22
00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:09,440
Speaker 2: to the Los Angeles Rams all right, making his way

23
00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:12,520
Speaker 2: to the forefront for tonight's show is our good friend

24
00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:15,160
Speaker 2: and d Klube. Well, we had a lot to talk

25
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:20,240
Speaker 2: about with nd including game Saturday and also when did

26
00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:24,400
Speaker 2: you know it was a business in the NFL? Indy

27
00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:26,920
Speaker 2: had a pretty good answer to that. Stay tuned for that.

28
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:28,920
Speaker 2: And that's some with our good friend Indy Klue.

29
00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:31,600
Speaker 4: What did you think of the game overall? The progress

30
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:33,880
Speaker 4: of the team heading into week two and beyond.

31
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:37,520
Speaker 5: You know what, I was excited to see the first

32
00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:40,080
Speaker 5: team offense. So when I say first team offense, DJ

33
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:43,080
Speaker 5: Stroud and the way they looked on those drives, that's

34
00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:46,039
Speaker 5: what you want your starting quarterback to look like. You

35
00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:50,320
Speaker 5: want your all everything star receiver Nico Collins to leave

36
00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:53,600
Speaker 5: with that touchdown reception. They felt like they were hitting

37
00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:56,120
Speaker 5: on all cylinders. And then the rest of the game

38
00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:59,280
Speaker 5: you're watching for death and I get enamored, I get

39
00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:02,640
Speaker 5: excited about out these young guys, but then I'm always

40
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:06,160
Speaker 5: brought back to reality when the season starts. It's the guys.

41
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:10,200
Speaker 5: It's the Christian Kirks, It's the CJ. Strauss, the Nick Chubbs.

42
00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:12,760
Speaker 5: Those are the guys that have to make plays for

43
00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:14,920
Speaker 5: this team to have the success we want as much

44
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:18,040
Speaker 5: as I love Braxton Burials, and when I watch him,

45
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:20,520
Speaker 5: I'm like, man, he might be the quickest wide receiver

46
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:23,720
Speaker 5: on the team. And not to be Debbie Downer, but

47
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:28,000
Speaker 5: if in eight weeks Braxton Burials is starting for the Texans,

48
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:30,160
Speaker 5: then something went drastically.

49
00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:31,799
Speaker 6: Wrong, you know, with injuries or whatever may be.

50
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:34,560
Speaker 5: So what I liked about what I saw this last game,

51
00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:38,200
Speaker 5: the starters, the guys that we are relying on to

52
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:39,800
Speaker 5: take this team to this promised Land.

53
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:40,639
Speaker 6: They looked the.

54
00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:42,960
Speaker 7: Part absolutely right.

55
00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:45,519
Speaker 2: And that brings up this one thing, and he said

56
00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:49,000
Speaker 2: it perfectly. We're talking about the depth on this team.

57
00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:51,600
Speaker 2: I mean, that's pretty impressive. You know, a couple of

58
00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:53,720
Speaker 2: years ago or three years ago, we were talking about, man,

59
00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:55,400
Speaker 2: who are going to be the starting receivers, who are

60
00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:58,880
Speaker 2: going to be the starters here? We weren't really sure.

61
00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:01,680
Speaker 2: Now we have a pretty good feeling. Okay, the Neon

62
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:04,400
Speaker 2: Hunter and Will Anderson Junior are going to start. You know,

63
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:07,760
Speaker 2: we know that Collins and Kirk are gonna start and

64
00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:09,919
Speaker 2: be your guys. And we know that the Cyclones, the

65
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:13,080
Speaker 2: Cyclone trio at some point is gonna be part of that.

66
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:14,919
Speaker 2: So we're talking about the depth on his team, which

67
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:17,919
Speaker 2: is great that we're talking about. Indeed, the physicality of

68
00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:20,399
Speaker 2: the run game, I thought, as you and I talked

69
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:22,520
Speaker 2: about on the broadcast, was pretty impressive.

70
00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:27,240
Speaker 3: Just knowing what it's been and what it looked like.

71
00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:30,040
Speaker 2: I feel like, in that physicality continues, this can be

72
00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:31,639
Speaker 2: a it may not be the best running team in

73
00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:33,000
Speaker 2: the league. I'm not saying that, but it can be

74
00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:36,720
Speaker 2: a pretty solid run game that then balances off what

75
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:38,560
Speaker 2: CJ can do in the past game. What do you

76
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:41,320
Speaker 2: think from that standpoint, the run game of the offensive line,

77
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:44,960
Speaker 2: just how physical they were on Saturday.

78
00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:48,120
Speaker 5: Look, I don't want to say that they influenced Nick Chubb,

79
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:50,680
Speaker 5: because if you've watched any season of Nick Chubb when

80
00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:53,160
Speaker 5: he's healthy, he's a physical runner. But I felt like

81
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:55,840
Speaker 5: what you just mentioned it started up front, because there

82
00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:59,200
Speaker 5: were times where Nick Chubb looked violent, he looked physical,

83
00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:00,920
Speaker 5: and he looked like the old Nick Chubb, which is

84
00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:03,640
Speaker 5: a great thing. But he wasn't getting hit until after

85
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:05,640
Speaker 5: two or three yards, and that's you know, you have

86
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:08,520
Speaker 5: to give credit to those guys up front, and they

87
00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:10,920
Speaker 5: did a nice job and I felt like that I

88
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:13,800
Speaker 5: was feeling their passion when it came to the run block.

89
00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:16,040
Speaker 5: You know, it was almost like in the huddle when

90
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:18,480
Speaker 5: they heard it was a run play. In between the tackles,

91
00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:21,440
Speaker 5: I can just sense them all smiling in the huddle, like.

92
00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:22,960
Speaker 6: Yeah, this is what we want to do. We want

93
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:24,040
Speaker 6: to get dirty and nasty.

94
00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:27,720
Speaker 5: And it showed during those two series, so you need Look,

95
00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:30,800
Speaker 5: we know this is a high scoring NFL league. Now,

96
00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:32,920
Speaker 5: we know that you have to be able to put

97
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:34,800
Speaker 5: up thirty sometimes forty points.

98
00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:37,400
Speaker 6: But when you can run, and when you can you.

99
00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:40,400
Speaker 5: Brought up an awesome, awesome point that I remember as

100
00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:42,559
Speaker 5: a player, and you brought it up in the broadcast, John,

101
00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:44,840
Speaker 5: where if you could pick up four or five yards

102
00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:47,640
Speaker 5: on first down, it just opens up your playbook. And

103
00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:49,800
Speaker 5: more times than not, you're picking up those four or

104
00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:52,279
Speaker 5: five yards on first down by running the ball.

105
00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:55,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, you're not sitting there in second and twelve and

106
00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:59,080
Speaker 4: that's that much. Last year brought the fresh air, right,

107
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:01,479
Speaker 4: you're sitting there in second in four sometimes and that's

108
00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:02,920
Speaker 4: just a beautiful thing to see.

109
00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:06,400
Speaker 8: Andy, what is this week like for the team?

110
00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:06,520
Speaker 6: Now?

111
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:09,120
Speaker 4: I know when you played it was the fourth preseason game,

112
00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:11,799
Speaker 4: it was a little bit different, but and the cuts

113
00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:14,960
Speaker 4: would kind of come at different times. They changed the dates,

114
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:17,719
Speaker 4: but it's usually after that fourth game where you'd reduce

115
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:19,040
Speaker 4: the rosters significantly.

116
00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:21,280
Speaker 8: What about this week where you know.

117
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:22,960
Speaker 4: That you're going to be saying goodbye to a lot

118
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:28,719
Speaker 4: of players after this as coaches, as teammates, and people

119
00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:32,359
Speaker 4: are fighting for their jobs. This week joint practice, you

120
00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:35,159
Speaker 4: could still show some things. There's some decisions to be made.

121
00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:38,120
Speaker 4: You can change minds with what you do this week.

122
00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:40,440
Speaker 4: What is it like for the team and everybody involved?

123
00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:43,839
Speaker 5: No, this week is very important. I mean, I don't

124
00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:45,760
Speaker 5: know if anybody's heard, but there was just a trade

125
00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:48,320
Speaker 5: between the Eagles and the Texans that just went down.

126
00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:51,800
Speaker 5: So like there's still moves and you're still putting things

127
00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:54,400
Speaker 5: on film, and I you know, I don't want to

128
00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:57,160
Speaker 5: say I guarantee, but I'm ninety nine percent sure that

129
00:05:57,200 --> 00:05:59,120
Speaker 5: what John Metchi has done and what he's put on

130
00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:01,960
Speaker 5: film was the reason the Eagle said, yeah, you know what,

131
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:03,880
Speaker 5: we don't mind getting rid of a tight end that

132
00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:05,960
Speaker 5: we just gave close to a million dollars in the

133
00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:08,440
Speaker 5: signing bonatus that we just signed from the Raiders and

134
00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:13,000
Speaker 5: Harrison Bryant to acquire a Mechi because of the things

135
00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:16,600
Speaker 5: you're putting on films. So this week, excuse me, it's

136
00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:19,599
Speaker 5: like last chance, this last chance for a lot of

137
00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:23,479
Speaker 5: those bubble guys to make that decision that much harder.

138
00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:26,080
Speaker 5: For Jamiico we just talked about. He just talked about

139
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:28,320
Speaker 5: how hard of a decision is, and it's to get

140
00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:31,039
Speaker 5: things on film. Now, obviously your big names aren't going

141
00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:33,440
Speaker 5: to be playing, but these are guys that are trying

142
00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:36,599
Speaker 5: to get things on film, trying to show just the

143
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:39,600
Speaker 5: entire league, not just the Houston Texas, what they can do.

144
00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:41,919
Speaker 5: So you're gonna see a lot of intensity. And for

145
00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:45,080
Speaker 5: the starters, for the Daniel Hunters, for the Will Anderson's,

146
00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:48,880
Speaker 5: the CJ Shrouds, it's a little tricky because, believe it

147
00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:52,520
Speaker 5: or not, during this week, as they're prepping for Detroit,

148
00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:56,640
Speaker 5: the starters they will actually be watching film on what's

149
00:06:56,680 --> 00:06:59,279
Speaker 5: gonna happen for Game one. They'll be watching film on

150
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:02,720
Speaker 5: their first week's opponent. And I remember during the when

151
00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:05,440
Speaker 5: I played, it was weird because the years I was

152
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:08,440
Speaker 5: trying to make the team. This last week, with my

153
00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:11,120
Speaker 5: Super Bowl week, I was just so focused on, you know,

154
00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:13,600
Speaker 5: putting the best that I could put on film. And

155
00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:15,880
Speaker 5: then when I signed my five year deal and it

156
00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:19,480
Speaker 5: wasn't about making the team. This last week we were

157
00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:22,360
Speaker 5: actually watching film and they would separate us. They would

158
00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:24,200
Speaker 5: separate the guys that knew that were going to make

159
00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:26,400
Speaker 5: the team, and the guys are on the bubble, and

160
00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:27,760
Speaker 5: the guys that they knew were going to make the

161
00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:29,880
Speaker 5: team they were watching film on the week one opponent.

162
00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:30,880
Speaker 6: Wow.

163
00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:32,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was like being back in third grade.

164
00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:34,640
Speaker 2: It was like the kids that were good with decimals

165
00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:36,760
Speaker 2: got to go play with the toys and the kids

166
00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:38,680
Speaker 2: that weren't good with decimals had to sit there and

167
00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:41,160
Speaker 2: do an extra lesson with the teacher. In some sense,

168
00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:44,640
Speaker 2: it was kind of like that, if I'm being honest. Indeed,

169
00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:46,880
Speaker 2: one of the things that hit me yesterday. You know,

170
00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:49,960
Speaker 2: John Metchi is a very well liked guy in the

171
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:52,760
Speaker 2: locker room. He's obviously from Alabama, so there's like a

172
00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:54,960
Speaker 2: million guys from Alabama in the league. But he's a

173
00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:56,960
Speaker 2: very well liked guy. He's got a lot of good

174
00:07:56,960 --> 00:07:59,000
Speaker 2: friends here. Obviously CJ. Stroud a good friend of his.

175
00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:03,440
Speaker 2: But it's a business. When when you were in the league,

176
00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:07,400
Speaker 2: when did you realize, oh man, this is a This

177
00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:09,800
Speaker 2: is a business. I mean, yeah, I love playing football

178
00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:13,680
Speaker 2: and football is a great endeavor in my career, but

179
00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:15,920
Speaker 2: this really is a business. Did you ever have kind

180
00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:18,240
Speaker 2: of a welcome to the NFL business moment in some

181
00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:19,240
Speaker 2: sense when you were playing?

182
00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:23,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, when I got cut. The first thing, you know,

183
00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:25,640
Speaker 5: when I got when I got cut, and I was like,

184
00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:29,200
Speaker 5: hold on, I thought I did everything you asked, and

185
00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:31,360
Speaker 5: they were like, well, we brought in this guy named

186
00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:32,240
Speaker 5: Hugh Douglas.

187
00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:33,280
Speaker 6: He's pretty good.

188
00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:36,280
Speaker 5: And the funny thing is, you know I got cut,

189
00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:40,200
Speaker 5: the Washington Redskins at the time picked me up. Then

190
00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:44,079
Speaker 5: after three years there, the Eagles brought me back and

191
00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:46,559
Speaker 5: I got the team up and start with Hugh Douglas.

192
00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:48,960
Speaker 5: But that that's when it first hit me. Because John,

193
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:52,240
Speaker 5: I always thought, and it's also very humbling, I always

194
00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:55,480
Speaker 5: thought incorrectly. I always thought I was the hardest worker.

195
00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:57,880
Speaker 5: You know, I was a man. There's an anybody that's

196
00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:01,680
Speaker 5: gonna outwork me. I might not be the biggest, you know,

197
00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:03,640
Speaker 5: I might not be the strongest, but you're not gonna

198
00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:07,400
Speaker 5: outwork me. But you know, like what I thought I

199
00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:09,600
Speaker 5: did that was extra. That was just the norm in

200
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:13,000
Speaker 5: the NFL. So you know, it was easy for them

201
00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:15,720
Speaker 5: to cut me at a time because I was third string,

202
00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:18,960
Speaker 5: you know, lucky to be second string, didn't play special teams.

203
00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:20,640
Speaker 5: But that's when it really hit me, like, man, this

204
00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:23,360
Speaker 5: is a business, Like even though I know I can

205
00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:26,400
Speaker 5: still play, I'm not gonna fit here because it doesn't

206
00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:29,840
Speaker 5: it doesn't fit into their business plan. So you learn

207
00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:34,440
Speaker 5: early on and as you go, you know you're eight nine, ten,

208
00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:37,600
Speaker 5: you almost get numbed to it. You almost get numbed

209
00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:39,920
Speaker 5: at first year or hurting for the guys that get

210
00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:42,280
Speaker 5: cut because you're like, oh, man, I've seen him put

211
00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:45,320
Speaker 5: in work since February. You know, I know he just

212
00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:47,560
Speaker 5: has a baby on the way, and now he's you know,

213
00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:50,400
Speaker 5: he's cutting. He's not getting picked up. But after a

214
00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:52,480
Speaker 5: while you're just like, it's just part of the business.

215
00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:55,320
Speaker 5: But John Metchi that the Texans did him a solid.

216
00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:58,400
Speaker 5: In my opinion, they did him a solid. They knew

217
00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:01,240
Speaker 5: that even if he made the team here with the Texas,

218
00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:03,680
Speaker 5: he wasn't gonna get much playing time, so they're giving

219
00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:06,319
Speaker 5: him an opportunity to go try shine somewhere else and

220
00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:09,080
Speaker 5: they're getting something back for it. So I like that

221
00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:11,880
Speaker 5: move all around, and I have to believe that John

222
00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:15,720
Speaker 5: Mitchi walking out the door, he's smiling, shaking hands and saying, hey,

223
00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:16,920
Speaker 5: thanks for what y'all.

224
00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:17,280
Speaker 6: Done for me.

225
00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:20,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, I hope so. And I love Metchi. You know

226
00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:24,640
Speaker 4: vander Kidd, the older vander Kidd. That's the only jersey

227
00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:27,640
Speaker 4: he has of current players is John MITCHI loves John Mitschi.

228
00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:29,640
Speaker 4: And not that he doesn't like the other guys, but

229
00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:33,000
Speaker 4: he always just loved John Mitchie Alabama and here and everything.

230
00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:34,800
Speaker 8: So I wish Mitchi the best.

231
00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:37,040
Speaker 4: And when a great organization trades for you, you have

232
00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:39,280
Speaker 4: to look at it as a positive if you're John,

233
00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:41,760
Speaker 4: and make the best out of it. All right, So

234
00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:44,640
Speaker 4: when we talk about fringes of the roster and little

235
00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:48,240
Speaker 4: things like that, we're experimenting with side dishes at the

236
00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:50,839
Speaker 4: meal and vegetables and things. But let's have a bite

237
00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:52,720
Speaker 4: of steak here, Endy. I'm going to bring up a

238
00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:55,800
Speaker 4: topic and I want you to expand on it. Will

239
00:10:55,840 --> 00:11:00,160
Speaker 4: Anderson go, it.

240
00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:02,840
Speaker 5: Has a chance to be a top five edge player

241
00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:05,200
Speaker 5: in the NFL this year. And that's saying a lot.

242
00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:08,319
Speaker 5: And I'm talking about the TJ Wise, the Miles garrets

243
00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:10,560
Speaker 5: of the world when I say has a chance to

244
00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:13,200
Speaker 5: be a top five edge player, and you know Daniel

245
00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:15,360
Speaker 5: Hunters on the other side, But just the way Will

246
00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:18,719
Speaker 5: Anderson works, the way he works his techniques, the way

247
00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:23,000
Speaker 5: he's passionate about playing the game. Again, during the broadcast,

248
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:27,280
Speaker 5: when they're playing against the Carolina Panthers, you know, John

249
00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:30,720
Speaker 5: and I look down and Will Anderson's done for the day.

250
00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:32,760
Speaker 5: I don't even think he has shoulder pads on. But

251
00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:35,800
Speaker 5: he's on the sideline practicing his starts, you know, his

252
00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:38,800
Speaker 5: get off. And it wasn't for show. It wasn't for camera.

253
00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:40,920
Speaker 5: You know, some guys do things, Hey make sure the

254
00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:43,679
Speaker 5: camera's on me. But you just get the sense that

255
00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:47,760
Speaker 5: he's always trying to improve his game and at a

256
00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:50,599
Speaker 5: level that I don't think I've seen too frequently in

257
00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:53,240
Speaker 5: the NFL. And you couple that with his talents and

258
00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:57,160
Speaker 5: his tenacity. I mean, this guy God willing he stays

259
00:11:57,200 --> 00:11:59,760
Speaker 5: healthy this entire year, he could end the season as

260
00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:01,960
Speaker 5: a top five That means all pro.

261
00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:05,440
Speaker 4: As you were, well, can we tell people what you

262
00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:08,440
Speaker 4: said during the production meeting after we were done with

263
00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:09,640
Speaker 4: our Will Anderson conversation?

264
00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:11,319
Speaker 1: Do you remember and.

265
00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:12,440
Speaker 5: I want to adopt him.

266
00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:14,880
Speaker 6: Yes. Yeah.

267
00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:17,520
Speaker 5: Someone pointed out, like, no, with with the money he's making,

268
00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:21,760
Speaker 5: he should adopt you. But just to be that young

269
00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:24,360
Speaker 5: and hungry and humble at the same time, I mean,

270
00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:28,040
Speaker 5: it was just refreshing hearing him talk about football and

271
00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:31,320
Speaker 5: just passionate about about his craft. I mean, and you

272
00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:32,679
Speaker 5: see it on the field. I mean you see it

273
00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:35,319
Speaker 5: at practice, and you obviously you see it during the games.

274
00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:36,439
Speaker 3: Yeah, definitely.

275
00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:38,600
Speaker 2: And now he knows who moufoss is and that's good

276
00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:40,200
Speaker 2: because we learned him online.

277
00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:43,760
Speaker 4: It's I have to educate people on Lion King references.

278
00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:45,400
Speaker 8: Where do I stand in society?

279
00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:46,200
Speaker 6: Now? Not true?

280
00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:48,240
Speaker 4: Come on, and they just came out with the live

281
00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:51,679
Speaker 4: action version, so it's pretty fright. They got no show.

282
00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:54,679
Speaker 4: Where is it young Mufossa with the TV cartoon?

283
00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:55,240
Speaker 6: Right right?

284
00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:58,439
Speaker 3: See, there's plenty out there. People should be in tuned

285
00:12:58,440 --> 00:12:58,959
Speaker 3: the Lion King.

286
00:12:59,000 --> 00:12:59,959
Speaker 7: There should be there.

287
00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:01,880
Speaker 8: It be an ageless kind of reference.

288
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:06,040
Speaker 2: It's a great lesson for young people to respect their

289
00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:07,080
Speaker 2: wise elders.

290
00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:08,599
Speaker 8: All right, Yes, true.

291
00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:09,240
Speaker 7: That's good.

292
00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:10,319
Speaker 3: That's exactly a point.

293
00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:10,680
Speaker 6: Ady.

294
00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:14,000
Speaker 2: One of the things that we noticed watching the first

295
00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:17,240
Speaker 2: unit in particular, was how fast they were playing. It's

296
00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:20,960
Speaker 2: a lot of the same guys, and obviously everybody's older

297
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:23,120
Speaker 2: than what they were before, So you would think as

298
00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:25,160
Speaker 2: you get older, maybe you slow down a little bit,

299
00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:29,000
Speaker 2: But it feels like this group is playing so much

300
00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:31,280
Speaker 2: faster because they've been together.

301
00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:32,640
Speaker 3: I asked a Miko about this.

302
00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:34,880
Speaker 2: But in your career, as you got a little bit

303
00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:37,240
Speaker 2: later in your career, do you feel like you played

304
00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:40,240
Speaker 2: quote unquote faster even though physically you may have been

305
00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:42,520
Speaker 2: slowing down, but you knew what was going on so

306
00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:45,880
Speaker 2: you could react faster, You could play faster as you

307
00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:47,559
Speaker 2: got a little bit older in your career, did you

308
00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:50,320
Speaker 2: kind of have that that that essence in you that

309
00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:53,440
Speaker 2: you played faster because you just were smarter about things

310
00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:54,120
Speaker 2: that were going on.

311
00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:56,840
Speaker 3: And why was that for you?

312
00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:59,560
Speaker 5: You know what's funny you bring up faster, but as

313
00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:02,280
Speaker 5: you're a and I was trying to, you know, reminisce

314
00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:05,240
Speaker 5: and think back, I felt like the game slowed down.

315
00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:08,960
Speaker 5: So I don't know if I felt like, man, I'm

316
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:12,440
Speaker 5: more explosive, you know in my get off, or I'm

317
00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:15,280
Speaker 5: spreading to the ball faster, but the game slowed down

318
00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:18,640
Speaker 5: because of what you mentioned. Because the older you get

319
00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:21,000
Speaker 5: and the more times you see Oh, you know what,

320
00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:23,440
Speaker 5: it seems like eighty percent of the time, that's the

321
00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:26,520
Speaker 5: interior linemen are blocking away from the offset back. Like

322
00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:30,200
Speaker 5: you really start to know and believe that, so you

323
00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:34,040
Speaker 5: can try certain things, you can take certain risks, you

324
00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:37,880
Speaker 5: could expect, certain blocking schemes. And when it really slowed

325
00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:40,680
Speaker 5: down for me, not to make the segment about me,

326
00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:44,160
Speaker 5: but just answer a question, was after I tore my ACL,

327
00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:47,840
Speaker 5: and I spent all year just studying and watching throughout

328
00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:50,680
Speaker 5: the season, and I even sat in the linebacker room.

329
00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:53,120
Speaker 5: So when I came back as a D lineman, it

330
00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:56,680
Speaker 5: really slowed down because typically D lineman, when we want

331
00:14:56,720 --> 00:14:58,760
Speaker 5: to know something when we're on the field, we just

332
00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:01,760
Speaker 5: turn around and asked the line. So when you you know,

333
00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:04,840
Speaker 5: when you get twelve months of studying like the linebacker,

334
00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:08,680
Speaker 5: it really slowed down. Where I came back physically slower,

335
00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:11,360
Speaker 5: but the game was even that much slower, So I

336
00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:13,840
Speaker 5: was able to tack on another eight years after you know,

337
00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:17,760
Speaker 5: tearing my ACL. But I think with this group, the

338
00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:21,280
Speaker 5: Texans group, they are playing faster because that's what they're preaching.

339
00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:23,680
Speaker 5: I mean, they're just a bunch of wild men out there,

340
00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:26,400
Speaker 5: and you just see what Tomiko's preaching and you see

341
00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:29,800
Speaker 5: it on the field at practice during the preseason games,

342
00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:31,720
Speaker 5: and it's really going to get excited when we see

343
00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:33,000
Speaker 5: it during the regular season.

344
00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:36,400
Speaker 8: D Lyman asking the linebackers what we're doing here?

345
00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:37,320
Speaker 6: Is like me and the.

346
00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:40,960
Speaker 8: Offense like asking what about this on Excel? How do

347
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:44,040
Speaker 8: I do this? What the column thing? And I got

348
00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:47,600
Speaker 8: to change this? How do I do this? Wilson, same thing?

349
00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:51,160
Speaker 5: Yes, And Miko would get so Tomiko would get so

350
00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:54,560
Speaker 5: frustrated with us because he has all these He's a

351
00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:57,000
Speaker 5: rookie and he has all these calls that he has

352
00:15:57,040 --> 00:15:59,920
Speaker 5: to blurt out when we're playing together, and Travis will

353
00:15:59,920 --> 00:16:02,760
Speaker 5: be look, Travis Johns will be turning around like the play,

354
00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:05,640
Speaker 5: what's the play? And the migos just always so calm

355
00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:07,880
Speaker 5: and cool, like, man, calm down, I'll get it to you.

356
00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:10,120
Speaker 5: I have like four other checks I need to make

357
00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:12,760
Speaker 5: before I tell you, dumb guys up front, what y'all

358
00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:13,280
Speaker 5: need to do?

359
00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:20,239
Speaker 8: Who's the future head coach here? I love Travis new Wonder.

360
00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:21,720
Speaker 3: Trap talks so well about Demiko.

361
00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:26,160
Speaker 4: He had his back off the time Travis Travis is maybe,

362
00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:28,960
Speaker 4: I mean, look, you guys are all great Texans legends

363
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:29,720
Speaker 4: and ambassadors.

364
00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:31,200
Speaker 8: But I mean he might be the MVP.

365
00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:37,400
Speaker 4: I'm telling you right now, so by far, not not even.

366
00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:39,600
Speaker 2: Yeah trap J and not catching strays. He's getting full

370
00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:51,880
Speaker 2: lot of fun. There's no question. We got one more

371
00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:55,120
Speaker 2: against Detroit on Saturday. All right, coming up? What he

374
00:17:02,320 --> 00:17:05,159
Speaker 2: to throw the wrestling belt over his shoulder that Sean

375
00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:06,680
Speaker 2: has to give to the player of the game.

376
00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:08,160
Speaker 3: It's some good stuff here.

394
00:17:56,800 --> 00:17:59,320
Speaker 10: I feel good. I'm just going through going through my

395
00:17:59,359 --> 00:18:02,240
Speaker 10: stuff what we did in practice making it go over

396
00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:04,560
Speaker 10: to the game. So just lean on our training.

397
00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:06,360
Speaker 1: Give me give me two things I want.

398
00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:08,960
Speaker 11: I want something that's that's come really easy for you

399
00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:11,960
Speaker 11: as well as something that's maybe not not been as easy.

400
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:14,280
Speaker 11: I know you played in the same quote unquote air

401
00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:17,600
Speaker 11: raid system at at Mississippi State and then as well

402
00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:20,400
Speaker 11: at at USC and now you come into Nick Cayley's

403
00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:23,800
Speaker 11: new system and NFL system. What what has according to

404
00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:26,440
Speaker 11: your college experience, what's allowed you to transition really quickly?

405
00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:27,800
Speaker 1: And then what are some things that you have to

406
00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:29,080
Speaker 1: really focus on I'll.

407
00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:32,359
Speaker 10: Say the pass protection, just knowing who I got they

408
00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:35,480
Speaker 10: came really quit because we did a little bit at USC,

409
00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:38,960
Speaker 10: So it kind of just switched over. And I'll say

410
00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:42,879
Speaker 10: I'll say probably the hardest thing. Really not hard, but

411
00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:47,120
Speaker 10: just different special teams. I know, I want to hit somebody,

412
00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:49,760
Speaker 10: but I really haven't did it for a long time.

413
00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:53,400
Speaker 10: So just switching over, just getting a fresh start of it. Yeah,

414
00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:54,000
Speaker 10: it's been good.

415
00:18:54,119 --> 00:18:56,280
Speaker 11: Hey, Woodie, Mark's at USC, probably wasn't running down the

416
00:18:56,320 --> 00:18:56,680
Speaker 11: kick off.

417
00:18:58,160 --> 00:18:59,320
Speaker 7: How does it feel to hit people?

418
00:18:59,359 --> 00:18:59,520
Speaker 6: Then?

419
00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:00,320
Speaker 12: I feel good.

420
00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:03,800
Speaker 10: Shoot, they hit me out the time, I gotta go

421
00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:05,159
Speaker 10: hit them.

422
00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:05,720
Speaker 7: A little revenge?

423
00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:08,720
Speaker 9: Absolutely what he Mark's joining us in studio here on

424
00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:10,760
Speaker 9: Texans post game. Let's go back to that pass pro

425
00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:12,920
Speaker 9: part that you were talking about there. That's really one

426
00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:14,600
Speaker 9: thing that stood out to me these first couple of

427
00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:17,240
Speaker 9: games is that at the end of last season, that

428
00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:19,520
Speaker 9: was that was an area of weakness I thought for

429
00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:22,919
Speaker 9: the Texans, And so far through these two preseason games, man,

430
00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:25,080
Speaker 9: it feels like you guys have been on point with

431
00:19:25,119 --> 00:19:25,399
Speaker 9: at you.

432
00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:27,560
Speaker 7: I mean, you know, the.

433
00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:30,520
Speaker 9: Whole running back depth chart. Talk to that a little

434
00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:32,520
Speaker 9: bit about you know, working on things like that. That's

435
00:19:32,520 --> 00:19:34,520
Speaker 9: probably more of a film thing, I would imagine here

436
00:19:34,520 --> 00:19:37,000
Speaker 9: in the preseason than you know, than something you guys

437
00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:39,679
Speaker 9: are are are you know, hit popping guys in eleven

438
00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:42,560
Speaker 9: on eleven? But uh, how how is that gone? How

439
00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:45,679
Speaker 9: is coach Kyley and coach Popovich? Well Popovich is the

440
00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:47,600
Speaker 9: online coach. Kelly been hammering that home with you guys.

441
00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:50,239
Speaker 10: I'll say, just knowing, just know who we got. If

442
00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:52,280
Speaker 10: you know who you got, it'll be easy. We we

443
00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:55,679
Speaker 10: some blockers. We're gonna protake the quarterback, but just know

444
00:19:55,720 --> 00:19:58,040
Speaker 10: who you got first, and then the rest take take

445
00:19:58,080 --> 00:20:01,200
Speaker 10: foy sales, just stay inside out. Then if God on

446
00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:03,240
Speaker 10: a bull, you got to drop your weight, so they

447
00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:04,400
Speaker 10: come from the weight room too.

448
00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:06,080
Speaker 7: So just knowing our keys.

449
00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:07,360
Speaker 10: Really, basically, what.

450
00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:10,359
Speaker 11: About that that process, because like Sean said that, this

451
00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:12,760
Speaker 11: has been a big focus, and I'm sure it has

452
00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:14,800
Speaker 11: with you guys. Heck, we've heard Dimko talk about it.

453
00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:16,720
Speaker 11: I think there's a reason why Dimiko is watching the

454
00:20:16,760 --> 00:20:19,560
Speaker 11: offense a lot this year versus his first couple of years.

455
00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:20,000
Speaker 6: Uh.

456
00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:23,320
Speaker 11: The protection piece there, the when you when when you

457
00:20:23,359 --> 00:20:25,040
Speaker 11: break the huddle, when you're at the line of scrimmage

458
00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:27,560
Speaker 11: in a two minute, whatever situation it is. We've we've

459
00:20:27,560 --> 00:20:30,120
Speaker 11: had a lot of conversations about the communication piece.

460
00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:32,800
Speaker 1: Of this thing. What does that? What does that look like?

461
00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:35,560
Speaker 1: Are you listening to quarterback? Center? Are you both of them?

462
00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:35,639
Speaker 6: Like?

463
00:20:35,680 --> 00:20:38,679
Speaker 1: How does that? How does that work in that communication

464
00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:40,000
Speaker 1: with you listen to?

465
00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:42,399
Speaker 10: So I got to look at the center and the guard.

466
00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:46,240
Speaker 10: Sometimes I look at a tackle too sometimes, but when

467
00:20:46,240 --> 00:20:48,199
Speaker 10: they give me a call, so we'll know, we'll know

468
00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:49,960
Speaker 10: what we got to do. So we'll go. We go

469
00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:52,639
Speaker 10: over a lot of stuff with past protection. All we

470
00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:55,919
Speaker 10: got different calls with different schemes. What they want to

471
00:20:55,920 --> 00:20:58,119
Speaker 10: come in and do. The quarterback can come in and

472
00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:01,080
Speaker 10: switch it sometimes, so we know that, well, we got

473
00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:04,399
Speaker 10: to push over. So that's really the biggest part right there,

474
00:21:04,600 --> 00:21:06,760
Speaker 10: just knowing who you got if it's been changed.

475
00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:09,760
Speaker 11: Yeah, the big part there right is that Woody Mark's

476
00:21:09,760 --> 00:21:11,720
Speaker 11: a running back is going, Yeah, I'm listening to the quarterback,

477
00:21:11,760 --> 00:21:13,080
Speaker 11: but then I gotta listen to the center, and then

478
00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:14,320
Speaker 11: sometimes I gotta listen to the tackling.

479
00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:15,600
Speaker 1: Sometimes I gotta listen to the guard.

480
00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:17,760
Speaker 11: So it's not as easy as we all make it

481
00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:19,800
Speaker 11: that it's easy to watch film, right Woody and go

482
00:21:20,119 --> 00:21:20,399
Speaker 11: damn it.

483
00:21:20,440 --> 00:21:22,000
Speaker 1: What he was supposed to have? This guy, what's that

484
00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:22,520
Speaker 1: tackle doing?

485
00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:24,240
Speaker 11: But when you're down there and you're having to communicate

486
00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:27,440
Speaker 11: with four different offensive linemen, that's a that's a different game.

487
00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:29,800
Speaker 9: No doubt, no doubt. What he Mark's joining us here.

488
00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:32,199
Speaker 9: So you had seven carries for forty yards today. You've

489
00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:33,440
Speaker 9: been able to get the ball in your hands in

490
00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:34,080
Speaker 9: the run game.

491
00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:34,600
Speaker 8: I know.

492
00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:36,280
Speaker 9: One of the big reasons they brought you in though,

493
00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:38,600
Speaker 9: is your pass catching ability. You were a prolific pass

494
00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:40,960
Speaker 9: catcher at USC last year. Are you kind of itching

495
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:42,280
Speaker 9: to get your hands on the ball in the pass

496
00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:42,840
Speaker 9: game right now?

497
00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:43,480
Speaker 7: Yeah? For sure.

498
00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:45,920
Speaker 10: I want to get out, get out wide, catch the ball.

499
00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:48,480
Speaker 10: Probably the oldest shoulder, I think that's the biggest one,

500
00:21:48,680 --> 00:21:51,240
Speaker 10: that's your favorite. Yeah, for a running back, I really

501
00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:53,560
Speaker 10: don't catch the ball over his shoulder, So that's really

502
00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:54,640
Speaker 10: a big plus right there.

503
00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:56,439
Speaker 11: Did you have did you you ran one of those

504
00:21:56,520 --> 00:21:57,919
Speaker 11: routes today? Didn't you know that the ball could have

505
00:21:57,920 --> 00:21:59,120
Speaker 11: came to you and that was that you in there?

506
00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:04,080
Speaker 11: I'm not somebody had I knew one of y'all had

507
00:22:04,080 --> 00:22:05,600
Speaker 11: a little bit with a shoot route or a bullet

508
00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:06,960
Speaker 11: We got a bullet back in the day. But that

509
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:08,760
Speaker 11: was about you were about four years old when we

510
00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:10,399
Speaker 11: were calling the bullets, So I'm sure it's changed.

511
00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:12,520
Speaker 1: I'm sure it's changed names by now.

512
00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:15,159
Speaker 11: But uh, well, what about you just as a pro

513
00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:17,960
Speaker 11: man in terms of change coming from college, transitioning in

514
00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:20,280
Speaker 11: I know, Demiko is is. I mean, this is a

515
00:22:20,320 --> 00:22:22,639
Speaker 11: special group when it comes to making sure that you

516
00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:26,200
Speaker 11: guys transition the right way and focus on the right things.

517
00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:29,359
Speaker 11: But just you you making that transition, man, it's a

518
00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:31,960
Speaker 11: big jump. It's it's obviously a big jump in football

519
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:34,879
Speaker 11: as well as as as the real world in life.

520
00:22:35,240 --> 00:22:36,240
Speaker 11: How's that been for you?

521
00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:38,680
Speaker 10: It's been good, I would say. I take I took

522
00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:42,000
Speaker 10: a lot of tips from Breav and Titus, Me and

523
00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:44,840
Speaker 10: Titus Locker right next to mine's and David Mills, so

524
00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:47,639
Speaker 10: they kind of they kind of went through everything with me.

525
00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:51,399
Speaker 10: I follow a chubb routine, his chist, getting his body,

526
00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:54,320
Speaker 10: making sure everything that's gonna be right before you go

527
00:22:54,359 --> 00:22:56,600
Speaker 10: out to practice. So I kind of look at him

528
00:22:56,680 --> 00:22:58,480
Speaker 10: like what he doing. He sit right across from me,

529
00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:01,200
Speaker 10: just just falling behind his footsteps right there.

530
00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:01,680
Speaker 1: That's great.

531
00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:03,199
Speaker 9: You got a lot of vets, so you can lean on.

532
00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:04,880
Speaker 9: How's that room? How's that running back room?

533
00:23:05,119 --> 00:23:06,200
Speaker 10: Oh, it's a funny room.

534
00:23:06,560 --> 00:23:08,879
Speaker 7: You got Damian Pearson there, that's a good start, right.

535
00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:11,960
Speaker 10: It's a funny. It's a funny room. I'll say everybody.

536
00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:15,320
Speaker 10: Everybody got their different size, but it's a real funny room.

537
00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:19,000
Speaker 10: Very competitive. Went bowling and so you know how you

538
00:23:19,040 --> 00:23:21,639
Speaker 10: know how that went, but all the players lost. I

539
00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:25,520
Speaker 10: would coach one, so he'll pro edit he good at bowling.

540
00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:26,679
Speaker 7: Okay, there you go?

541
00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:27,000
Speaker 1: What he?

542
00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:29,000
Speaker 9: Mark's joining us before we get you out of here.

543
00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:31,080
Speaker 9: How's the acclamation of Houston been so far?

544
00:23:31,280 --> 00:23:31,920
Speaker 1: It's been good.

545
00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:35,600
Speaker 10: I'll say probably day before yesterday it was probably the

546
00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:36,160
Speaker 10: hottest day.

547
00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:38,000
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's been good.

548
00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:39,600
Speaker 1: It's been good. What do you got to tell me

549
00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:41,000
Speaker 1: this in the world of n I L.

550
00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:44,359
Speaker 11: Did you make more money your fifth year in college

551
00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:45,560
Speaker 11: or your first year in the league?

552
00:23:47,119 --> 00:23:47,760
Speaker 1: My fifth year?

553
00:23:54,760 --> 00:23:57,119
Speaker 7: Guys are getting pick cutch down? Why coming to the NFL?

554
00:23:57,160 --> 00:23:57,600
Speaker 7: How's that?

555
00:23:58,160 --> 00:23:58,360
Speaker 12: Oh?

556
00:23:58,480 --> 00:23:59,000
Speaker 7: Good stuff?

557
00:23:59,040 --> 00:23:59,240
Speaker 6: Hey?

00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:01,320
Speaker 7: What do you Mark? Seven? He carries forty yards today?

559
00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:04,480
Speaker 9: Nice start to his NFL career and can't wait to

560
00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:06,959
Speaker 9: watch you in the regular season when it rolls around. Man,

561
00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:10,119
Speaker 9: Congratulations and I go enjoy the rest of the weekend.

562
00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:12,600
Speaker 7: Thank you, all right, you got it. That's what he marks. Now.

563
00:24:12,640 --> 00:24:15,240
Speaker 2: Why what he was doing that interview, I was sitting

564
00:24:15,280 --> 00:24:19,320
Speaker 2: down in a defensive team work room with Themko. Ryan's

565
00:24:19,359 --> 00:24:25,600
Speaker 2: getting his thoughts on what he saw, thought, believed expected.

566
00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:27,480
Speaker 3: Against the Carolina Panthers.

567
00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:29,520
Speaker 2: There was a lot here at a good time talk

568
00:24:29,560 --> 00:24:32,120
Speaker 2: with Demko right after the game. All right, preseason game

569
00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:36,000
Speaker 2: number two in the books, sitting alongside head coach Demiko.

570
00:24:36,119 --> 00:24:39,040
Speaker 3: Ryan's coach will take the thirty thousand foot.

571
00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:43,320
Speaker 2: Look at today and kind of group it with Thursday too,

572
00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:46,679
Speaker 2: because the Panthers visit included the joint practice. Sure, overall

573
00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:50,200
Speaker 2: thoughts about Thursday moving into Saturday, getting the win twenty

574
00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:51,000
Speaker 2: to three.

575
00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:53,399
Speaker 13: Yeah, I mean starting off Thursday, I thought we had

576
00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:56,520
Speaker 13: some productive plays, some things went our way, some things

577
00:24:56,520 --> 00:24:59,400
Speaker 13: they didn't go, you know, so great. But I look

578
00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:01,800
Speaker 13: at this week as you can bind both of those days.

579
00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:03,920
Speaker 13: See where we were on Thursday and how we improve

580
00:25:04,040 --> 00:25:06,679
Speaker 13: on game day and we get to play actual live reps.

581
00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:10,160
Speaker 13: A lot of guys are chirping and talking and in

582
00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:13,840
Speaker 13: practice and when it actually matters at the game time.

583
00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:15,960
Speaker 13: That's what it is about. And that's what you wanna see.

584
00:25:16,040 --> 00:25:19,840
Speaker 13: So man, I saw our guys take another step. That's

585
00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:23,560
Speaker 13: what I'm most encouraged about, starting with the offense, offensive line,

586
00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:28,600
Speaker 13: just playing efficient, playing together, like really giving us a

587
00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:31,760
Speaker 13: chance to have productive plays. It all starts up front,

588
00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:33,959
Speaker 13: the way those guys play, and I really like the

589
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:36,480
Speaker 13: physical nature of how we play, like to be able

590
00:25:36,480 --> 00:25:38,520
Speaker 13: to move double teams, to be able to run the football.

591
00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:40,880
Speaker 13: Chub did a nice guy job of running the ball.

592
00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:44,800
Speaker 13: Woody stepped in, ran the ball well, physical runs, finishing

593
00:25:44,840 --> 00:25:47,640
Speaker 13: through defenders like that's how we wanna be built on right,

594
00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:50,080
Speaker 13: and then we dropped back and past it. Then you

595
00:25:50,119 --> 00:25:52,800
Speaker 13: got the connection with CJ and Nico, Like they had

596
00:25:53,160 --> 00:25:55,879
Speaker 13: a really nice day as well, seeing Nico get some touches,

597
00:25:55,920 --> 00:25:58,400
Speaker 13: make some players get in the end zone. So overall,

598
00:25:58,600 --> 00:26:01,720
Speaker 13: just from the offensive PERSPECTI they're really great out in today.

599
00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:04,520
Speaker 2: I'm not sure what your plan was going in offensively

600
00:26:04,760 --> 00:26:07,320
Speaker 2: for CJ and you, Nico and a lot of guys

601
00:26:07,320 --> 00:26:09,639
Speaker 2: that you're Nick Chubb. Now you knew weren't going to

602
00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:11,760
Speaker 2: play a whole lot. My guess is you wanted to

603
00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:13,920
Speaker 2: see him play a little bit. So how good was

604
00:26:13,960 --> 00:26:15,919
Speaker 2: it to get that second drive where you got.

605
00:26:15,760 --> 00:26:16,760
Speaker 7: A little bit of everything.

606
00:26:16,800 --> 00:26:19,320
Speaker 2: You got Nick running inside, you got the mix of

607
00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:22,560
Speaker 2: receivers making catches, and then CJ directing the offense.

608
00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:25,560
Speaker 13: With the with the starters at the offense and defense.

609
00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:27,800
Speaker 13: My goal was to get the guys a quarter to play.

610
00:26:27,880 --> 00:26:30,239
Speaker 13: And I really, I really like how it started out

611
00:26:30,280 --> 00:26:32,159
Speaker 13: for the offense, right it was three and out. It

612
00:26:32,200 --> 00:26:34,600
Speaker 13: didn't go so great. Now, how do you respond when

613
00:26:34,600 --> 00:26:37,919
Speaker 13: things don't go your way? They responded an answer with

614
00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:41,439
Speaker 13: a touchdown, productive drive, and so I like, how I

615
00:26:41,480 --> 00:26:43,080
Speaker 13: win is kind of you want to go out and

616
00:26:43,160 --> 00:26:45,440
Speaker 13: you want to see a positive drive, and of course

617
00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:47,800
Speaker 13: you wanted to end with a touchdown, and to be

618
00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:50,600
Speaker 13: able to do that with having a little adversity, I

619
00:26:50,640 --> 00:26:53,520
Speaker 13: think it definitely accomplished the goal that I set out for.

620
00:26:54,040 --> 00:26:56,160
Speaker 2: One of the things that stands out defensively, coach, You've

621
00:26:56,160 --> 00:26:58,400
Speaker 2: got when you look out there at the first group,

622
00:26:58,440 --> 00:27:00,960
Speaker 2: You're like, these guys have been there before. There's a

623
00:27:00,960 --> 00:27:04,680
Speaker 2: lot of the same guys. But it feels like your

624
00:27:04,720 --> 00:27:08,360
Speaker 2: defense is playing even faster than it did even last

625
00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:09,960
Speaker 2: year when it was one of the best units in

626
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:12,960
Speaker 2: the league. How is that manifesting itself? Through the way

627
00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:14,080
Speaker 2: they're playing thus far.

628
00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:17,480
Speaker 13: I thought the defense they played our style of ball.

629
00:27:17,520 --> 00:27:19,840
Speaker 13: I didn't like how we played last week. It wasn't

630
00:27:20,040 --> 00:27:22,280
Speaker 13: up to the standard. I like how we you know,

631
00:27:22,359 --> 00:27:26,360
Speaker 13: we took the ball away three times offensively with no turnovers,

632
00:27:26,359 --> 00:27:29,960
Speaker 13: Like that's our brand of football. Defense played physical. They're

633
00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:33,600
Speaker 13: playing faster because they know what to expect. They've done

634
00:27:33,600 --> 00:27:36,840
Speaker 13: it before. They know what's you know, what's required of them.

635
00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:40,879
Speaker 13: And it means something to these guys to really be

636
00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:43,320
Speaker 13: their heart and soul for our team. It means something

637
00:27:43,320 --> 00:27:45,520
Speaker 13: to them. They carry that weight and they've done a

638
00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:48,960
Speaker 13: good job still and I'm gonna grind them, make sure

639
00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:51,400
Speaker 13: they don't get too big headed. But we're gonna make

640
00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:53,879
Speaker 13: sure that we're doing things the right way. We're playing fast,

641
00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:57,520
Speaker 13: we're finishing every single rep and making sure we're just detailed.

642
00:27:57,560 --> 00:27:59,520
Speaker 13: The thing with the defense is, and we got a

643
00:27:59,560 --> 00:28:01,840
Speaker 13: lot of good a lot of good players, But the

644
00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:06,440
Speaker 13: thing is, can we play with extreme precision and detail

645
00:28:06,520 --> 00:28:07,439
Speaker 13: every single snap.

646
00:28:07,520 --> 00:28:09,240
Speaker 1: If we do that and we don't.

647
00:28:09,240 --> 00:28:12,320
Speaker 13: Allow teams to have the cheap plays, make teams have

648
00:28:12,359 --> 00:28:14,919
Speaker 13: to drive the feel on us, then we'll be a

649
00:28:15,040 --> 00:28:16,280
Speaker 13: top defense in the league.

650
00:28:16,600 --> 00:28:18,960
Speaker 2: You have twenty to three balls back of the two

651
00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:21,280
Speaker 2: yard line, they've got a pun out of their end zone,

652
00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:25,960
Speaker 2: and there's JJ Taylor full on laying out. I said

653
00:28:25,960 --> 00:28:27,880
Speaker 2: in the broadcast that JJ ben five to ninety would

654
00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:29,520
Speaker 2: have gotten it, but he's only five six.

655
00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:29,960
Speaker 7: If he's lucky.

656
00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:32,880
Speaker 2: But Coach, I think it speaks to the effort that

657
00:28:32,920 --> 00:28:35,960
Speaker 2: your guys give up and down the roster, like it

658
00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:37,679
Speaker 2: had been very easy to put the ball cap on

659
00:28:37,720 --> 00:28:39,520
Speaker 2: it's be done, or just go through the motions on

660
00:28:39,560 --> 00:28:42,480
Speaker 2: that rep. That told me a lot about what you

661
00:28:42,600 --> 00:28:44,760
Speaker 2: expect from them and then them giving.

662
00:28:44,520 --> 00:28:45,120
Speaker 6: It back to you.

663
00:28:45,520 --> 00:28:46,760
Speaker 7: That's the character of our team.

664
00:28:46,960 --> 00:28:50,400
Speaker 13: Like I want guys who talk about it being relentless,

665
00:28:50,440 --> 00:28:53,360
Speaker 13: like every single snap you're out there, like, be relentless,

666
00:28:53,360 --> 00:28:55,840
Speaker 13: finished the right way, give everything you have because you

667
00:28:55,920 --> 00:28:58,760
Speaker 13: never know when that's your last snap. And to see

668
00:28:58,840 --> 00:29:00,840
Speaker 13: JJ layout like that, I don't think he was supposed

669
00:29:00,880 --> 00:29:04,520
Speaker 13: to do that, but it's great to see. I was

670
00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:08,400
Speaker 13: joking about going for the block, but we should have

671
00:29:08,440 --> 00:29:10,400
Speaker 13: been holding up when JJ is trying to make a

672
00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:10,920
Speaker 13: play there.

673
00:29:11,600 --> 00:29:15,080
Speaker 2: All right, Coach, We're gonna mimic this week, but on

674
00:29:15,120 --> 00:29:18,040
Speaker 2: the road next week against one of the best teams

675
00:29:18,080 --> 00:29:21,680
Speaker 2: in the NFL, going up to Detroit, joint practice, playing

676
00:29:21,680 --> 00:29:24,480
Speaker 2: a game on Saturday. Kind of similar makeup last week

677
00:29:24,560 --> 00:29:26,920
Speaker 2: that we're gonna have this week. Your thoughts about going

678
00:29:27,040 --> 00:29:28,880
Speaker 2: up there and taking on one of the best teams

679
00:29:29,040 --> 00:29:30,160
Speaker 2: in a joint practice, and then a.

680
00:29:30,200 --> 00:29:32,640
Speaker 13: Game man really excited about the opportunity to go up

681
00:29:32,640 --> 00:29:35,520
Speaker 13: to Detroit and play against this team. And they were

682
00:29:35,840 --> 00:29:39,800
Speaker 13: top team in the NFC last year. Really great offense,

683
00:29:39,920 --> 00:29:42,240
Speaker 13: great defense, these guys, they're a really great team, great

684
00:29:42,240 --> 00:29:44,680
Speaker 13: coaching staff. So I'm excited to see us go compete

685
00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:47,520
Speaker 13: on someone else's term, see how we show up in

686
00:29:47,560 --> 00:29:48,400
Speaker 13: the joint practice.

687
00:29:48,400 --> 00:29:50,360
Speaker 1: I know our guys will be ready to.

688
00:29:50,320 --> 00:29:52,880
Speaker 13: Go, and then we'll see where the game goes, if

689
00:29:52,920 --> 00:29:55,760
Speaker 13: our starters play or not. But it'll that third game

690
00:29:55,840 --> 00:29:58,600
Speaker 13: be more geared toward our younger guys getting even more reps.

691
00:29:58,640 --> 00:30:01,320
Speaker 13: So I'm excited to see our arners really going his

692
00:30:01,440 --> 00:30:04,320
Speaker 13: joint practice, get a ton of reps, get better, going

693
00:30:04,360 --> 00:30:08,680
Speaker 13: against another different scheme, different philosophy offensively and defensively, and

694
00:30:08,760 --> 00:30:10,480
Speaker 13: let's see how we stack up against one of the

695
00:30:10,600 --> 00:30:11,840
Speaker 13: NFL's best teams.

696
00:30:12,240 --> 00:30:14,000
Speaker 3: Coach, Congratulations, appreciate your time.

697
00:30:14,080 --> 00:30:15,520
Speaker 1: Thank you ton for both of us.

698
00:30:15,560 --> 00:30:18,120
Speaker 2: It was time to go home after that, and it's

699
00:30:18,120 --> 00:30:20,080
Speaker 2: time to end the second because we got to catch

700
00:30:20,160 --> 00:30:23,240
Speaker 2: up with John McClain in our final one right here

701
00:30:23,240 --> 00:30:26,760
Speaker 2: on Texans All Access. We won final segment this edition

702
00:30:26,800 --> 00:30:30,280
Speaker 2: of Texans All Access from the Texans Radio studio. I'm

703
00:30:30,280 --> 00:30:33,840
Speaker 2: your host, John Harris, football analyst, sideline reporter for your

704
00:30:33,880 --> 00:30:36,840
Speaker 2: Houston Texans who took on to Carolina Panthers on Saturday.

705
00:30:37,080 --> 00:30:40,680
Speaker 2: Won that game twenty to three. A lot of great

706
00:30:40,800 --> 00:30:44,640
Speaker 2: action in that game. Ran the ball well. Second offensive

707
00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:47,200
Speaker 2: drive was brilliant, got a situational drive at the end

708
00:30:47,240 --> 00:30:49,880
Speaker 2: of the half with Davis Mills. Defense held in the

709
00:30:49,960 --> 00:30:52,800
Speaker 2: three points. Turnovers went and got two of them, two

710
00:30:52,840 --> 00:30:58,120
Speaker 2: interceptions Jalen Smith and Damon Arnett Bridge Brooks scored a touchdown.

711
00:30:58,480 --> 00:31:00,080
Speaker 3: It's all good. It's all good.

712
00:31:00,520 --> 00:31:04,640
Speaker 2: On Saturday against the Carolina Panthers went about as well

713
00:31:04,640 --> 00:31:08,280
Speaker 2: as it possibly could have gone after a decent joint practice.

714
00:31:08,760 --> 00:31:11,240
Speaker 2: Oh great, but it was decent. But it was a

715
00:31:11,280 --> 00:31:16,080
Speaker 2: really solid, strong football showing on Saturday. When the lights

716
00:31:16,240 --> 00:31:18,200
Speaker 2: were turned on, and the lights are gonna turn on

717
00:31:18,240 --> 00:31:20,840
Speaker 2: to Detroit next Saturday. That'll be the last game of

718
00:31:20,880 --> 00:31:24,080
Speaker 2: the preseason. Thursday, there will be a joint practice with

719
00:31:24,160 --> 00:31:27,080
Speaker 2: the Detroit Lions. So schedule very similar to what we

720
00:31:27,200 --> 00:31:30,840
Speaker 2: had this past week. But it's us that's traveling, so

721
00:31:30,840 --> 00:31:34,520
Speaker 2: we'll fly up through Wednesday. Practice against the Lions on Thursday,

722
00:31:35,280 --> 00:31:37,440
Speaker 2: Production meetings for TV and all that on Friday, but

723
00:31:37,480 --> 00:31:39,720
Speaker 2: otherwise the day off and then Saturday, play the game,

724
00:31:39,960 --> 00:31:43,840
Speaker 2: get back here dark thirty on Saturday night, get home,

725
00:31:43,960 --> 00:31:45,760
Speaker 2: have a day off Sunday, and go back to work

726
00:31:45,800 --> 00:31:49,920
Speaker 2: on Monday. Getting ready for the regular season twenty twenty five.

727
00:31:50,280 --> 00:31:51,480
Speaker 3: Can't not wait. Now.

728
00:31:51,480 --> 00:31:54,040
Speaker 2: A guy that will join us all regular season long,

729
00:31:54,520 --> 00:31:57,200
Speaker 2: and he joins us each and every Monday, is John McClain,

730
00:31:57,280 --> 00:32:00,600
Speaker 2: the general. He had a lot to say this morning,

731
00:32:00,720 --> 00:32:03,800
Speaker 2: especially so over all thoughts on what he saw on Saturday.

732
00:32:03,960 --> 00:32:08,160
Speaker 12: Guys mentioned British Brooks, who weighs two hundred and forty

733
00:32:08,240 --> 00:32:11,400
Speaker 12: three pounds. Wouldn't he be a good back to having

734
00:32:11,480 --> 00:32:13,680
Speaker 12: there on the goal line. But I'll tell you what,

735
00:32:13,920 --> 00:32:17,160
Speaker 12: there wasn't anything better than that game. What they needed

736
00:32:17,160 --> 00:32:20,640
Speaker 12: the most was watching Nick Chubb average five yards of

737
00:32:20,680 --> 00:32:24,760
Speaker 12: carry on five carries without benefit of a long run,

738
00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:28,479
Speaker 12: and then what he marks average five point seven yards

739
00:32:28,520 --> 00:32:32,840
Speaker 12: of carry on seven carries, including a twelve yard run

740
00:32:33,280 --> 00:32:36,600
Speaker 12: with Joe mixing out and no clue when he's coming back.

741
00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:41,360
Speaker 12: If he's coming back, nobody knows. But having Chubb looked

742
00:32:41,400 --> 00:32:44,760
Speaker 12: as good as he did, and he was physical. You know,

743
00:32:44,840 --> 00:32:48,000
Speaker 12: the offensive line's physical. The problem last year is picking

744
00:32:48,080 --> 00:32:51,800
Speaker 12: up stunts if they faced the stunt yet. Remember they

745
00:32:51,800 --> 00:32:55,000
Speaker 12: were five and one last year till Green Bay started

746
00:32:55,040 --> 00:32:58,160
Speaker 12: confusing them with stunts, and so we're not gonna see

747
00:32:58,200 --> 00:33:01,120
Speaker 12: that till the first game again the Rams. But the

748
00:33:01,200 --> 00:33:05,760
Speaker 12: running game one hundred and nine yards Taylor d I

749
00:33:05,760 --> 00:33:09,160
Speaker 12: think an eight yard run and the stride looked very

750
00:33:09,200 --> 00:33:12,160
Speaker 12: good on that touchdown drive. I was so glad that

751
00:33:12,280 --> 00:33:16,560
Speaker 12: Miko went for it on fourth down. I never understand

752
00:33:16,680 --> 00:33:21,560
Speaker 12: coaches who will kick short field goals in preseason games.

753
00:33:21,920 --> 00:33:25,520
Speaker 12: That doesn't accomplish anything unless you think you're a kicker

754
00:33:25,520 --> 00:33:28,000
Speaker 12: and you're a snapper and you're older. Need to work

755
00:33:28,040 --> 00:33:31,280
Speaker 12: on short field goals. And that touchdown pass on fourth

756
00:33:31,280 --> 00:33:34,400
Speaker 12: and five to Miko Collins was good. I thought it

757
00:33:34,480 --> 00:33:38,240
Speaker 12: was good that Dimiko did that. And now we're not

758
00:33:38,280 --> 00:33:40,240
Speaker 12: going to see the starters in the last game, but

759
00:33:40,720 --> 00:33:43,120
Speaker 12: you guys will see that joint practice, and you know

760
00:33:43,560 --> 00:33:47,160
Speaker 12: how much the coaches and players love joint practices. And

761
00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:51,920
Speaker 12: I can't wait to get the reports from Detroit from

762
00:33:51,960 --> 00:33:52,479
Speaker 12: you guys.

763
00:33:53,480 --> 00:33:54,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's gonna be a fun one.

764
00:33:54,760 --> 00:33:55,640
Speaker 7: There's no doubt about that.

765
00:33:55,760 --> 00:33:55,960
Speaker 6: John.

766
00:33:56,000 --> 00:33:57,560
Speaker 3: The news we got yesterday, John.

767
00:33:57,400 --> 00:34:02,080
Speaker 2: Met you traded to Philadelphia, bring back Harrison Bryant. Basically,

768
00:34:02,320 --> 00:34:04,360
Speaker 2: if you met out the two Eagles trades Kenny Green

769
00:34:04,360 --> 00:34:07,360
Speaker 2: and John Metchi for CJ. Gardner, Johnson and Harrison Bryant.

770
00:34:07,520 --> 00:34:09,600
Speaker 2: Your thoughts about Mechi moving to Philadelphia?

771
00:34:10,080 --> 00:34:10,720
Speaker 7: What do you think?

772
00:34:12,520 --> 00:34:16,000
Speaker 12: I think this? Did you want to see Metchi playing

773
00:34:16,040 --> 00:34:20,320
Speaker 12: against you for the Titans? No, Because they have first

774
00:34:20,360 --> 00:34:23,560
Speaker 12: cut on anybody who's cut. I think Casio will get

775
00:34:23,920 --> 00:34:28,040
Speaker 12: some low picks for several of his players. They got

776
00:34:28,120 --> 00:34:31,040
Speaker 12: so much talent in the defensive line, They've got depth

777
00:34:31,560 --> 00:34:34,359
Speaker 12: and there if they cut him, first team that can

778
00:34:34,400 --> 00:34:37,320
Speaker 12: reach out claim him of the Titans, So I think

779
00:34:37,440 --> 00:34:40,920
Speaker 12: Nick will be getting some more low picks. He's already

780
00:34:40,920 --> 00:34:43,759
Speaker 12: got like eight for next year. And you know how

781
00:34:43,760 --> 00:34:47,680
Speaker 12: he likes to move her around the draft with those

782
00:34:48,239 --> 00:34:51,760
Speaker 12: fifth and sixth and seventh round picks. So the toughest

783
00:34:51,800 --> 00:34:53,440
Speaker 12: cut to me is still going to be in the

784
00:34:53,480 --> 00:34:56,840
Speaker 12: defensive line, but I think it's good for Metchis to

785
00:34:56,880 --> 00:35:00,000
Speaker 12: go to defending Super Bowl champion. They have a spot

786
00:35:00,600 --> 00:35:04,160
Speaker 12: for a third receiver. Texans needed a tight end, even

787
00:35:04,160 --> 00:35:07,239
Speaker 12: though our Smith Jr. Led them in catches you he

788
00:35:08,600 --> 00:35:12,239
Speaker 12: is a good and of receiver, but Briant is a

789
00:35:12,239 --> 00:35:17,080
Speaker 12: blocker and Harrison Bryant and they needed that with Brevian

790
00:35:17,200 --> 00:35:20,600
Speaker 12: Jordan being out. So now they have four tight ends.

791
00:35:20,920 --> 00:35:24,080
Speaker 12: Hopefully they'll have a tough decision there. But of all

792
00:35:24,120 --> 00:35:26,440
Speaker 12: the things I say, I expect the defense to be

793
00:35:26,520 --> 00:35:31,760
Speaker 12: good under any circumstances, but the offensive line, the physicality

794
00:35:32,360 --> 00:35:35,560
Speaker 12: up front, firing off the ball in the running game,

795
00:35:36,120 --> 00:35:39,560
Speaker 12: because if you do it go into the season without

796
00:35:39,640 --> 00:35:43,520
Speaker 12: Joe Mixon, you're without one of your biggest offensive weapons,

797
00:35:43,520 --> 00:35:47,360
Speaker 12: a team leader. And so right now we know Jubble

798
00:35:47,440 --> 00:35:50,360
Speaker 12: make it, we know what he marks is gonna make it.

799
00:35:50,400 --> 00:35:53,440
Speaker 12: And I'm guessing Darry Gumbawally will be on there. And

800
00:35:53,480 --> 00:35:55,080
Speaker 12: there's a good chance to keep.

801
00:35:54,880 --> 00:35:59,479
Speaker 4: Four thoughts on Detroit this week because what a great

802
00:35:59,520 --> 00:36:02,480
Speaker 4: test that is. In the joint practice Thursday, I expect

803
00:36:02,480 --> 00:36:05,719
Speaker 4: the game to be reserves largely, But what do you

804
00:36:05,719 --> 00:36:07,799
Speaker 4: think of this week in the MotorCity General.

805
00:36:08,120 --> 00:36:11,360
Speaker 12: Good test, another physical team. I think you ought to

806
00:36:11,440 --> 00:36:14,360
Speaker 12: let Dimiko and Dan Campbell get out there, even though

807
00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:18,839
Speaker 12: Campbell has him in size two former players. Let them

808
00:36:18,880 --> 00:36:21,799
Speaker 12: go at it in the octagon. I think the only

809
00:36:21,840 --> 00:36:25,680
Speaker 12: other person that could take on Campbell would be Mike Brabo.

810
00:36:25,880 --> 00:36:28,719
Speaker 12: And coaches love this. You know they've already they've been

811
00:36:28,719 --> 00:36:33,080
Speaker 12: working on that Rams game plan in Jimmy Garoppolo. Maybe

812
00:36:33,080 --> 00:36:36,800
Speaker 12: he's deadson then it because Matthew Stafford has yet to practice.

813
00:36:36,840 --> 00:36:41,080
Speaker 12: He's got that back issue. He takes shots. They said

814
00:36:41,120 --> 00:36:43,279
Speaker 12: the other day they couldn't even get anybody to tell

815
00:36:43,320 --> 00:36:46,520
Speaker 12: him if he was in the building, nobody saw and

816
00:36:46,560 --> 00:36:49,920
Speaker 12: that can't be good. Now he's been very durable, of course,

817
00:36:50,400 --> 00:36:53,759
Speaker 12: and maybe he'll make he'll answer that bell at the

818
00:36:53,800 --> 00:36:57,040
Speaker 12: start of the season. But as Texans fans have been

819
00:36:57,120 --> 00:37:00,799
Speaker 12: sending messages to Sean McVay, not what you do in

820
00:37:00,840 --> 00:37:05,279
Speaker 12: September and October, November, December, January. So if you got

821
00:37:05,280 --> 00:37:07,480
Speaker 12: to hold him out and play Jimmy g go ahead

822
00:37:07,800 --> 00:37:10,520
Speaker 12: and do it and everything they've been working on that

823
00:37:10,600 --> 00:37:14,600
Speaker 12: game plan. Great test for the offensive line and after

824
00:37:14,680 --> 00:37:19,319
Speaker 12: this joint practice they'll know just about everything they need

825
00:37:19,360 --> 00:37:23,160
Speaker 12: to know about starters. You know, how many jobs, now

826
00:37:23,200 --> 00:37:26,759
Speaker 12: that we've watched them, and how many starting jobs are

827
00:37:26,840 --> 00:37:30,600
Speaker 12: actually open? We can name this. I think the starters

828
00:37:30,600 --> 00:37:33,880
Speaker 12: on both sides of the ball and special teams right now.

829
00:37:35,040 --> 00:37:35,480
Speaker 3: I think so.

830
00:37:36,120 --> 00:37:38,960
Speaker 2: What we don't know is the availability of Joe Mixon

831
00:37:39,080 --> 00:37:42,120
Speaker 2: right now. General and Mark and I were tossing this

832
00:37:42,239 --> 00:37:47,320
Speaker 2: around last segment. Let's say Joe is ready to go

833
00:37:47,960 --> 00:37:53,080
Speaker 2: for week one, Joe Mixing, Nick Chubb, Damian Pierce, Starigoombawally, Wood,

834
00:37:53,080 --> 00:37:57,560
Speaker 2: he Marks, JJ Taylor, Juwar, Jordan British Brooks. I don't

835
00:37:57,560 --> 00:37:59,960
Speaker 2: know how many of those are you keeping for week one? Way,

836
00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:02,600
Speaker 2: what is your makeup of the running back room? If

837
00:38:03,320 --> 00:38:07,320
Speaker 2: Joe is fully healthy and ready to go week one.

838
00:38:07,800 --> 00:38:10,439
Speaker 12: Well, if he's fully healthy, he won't touch the ball

839
00:38:10,560 --> 00:38:13,600
Speaker 12: much because he's been out for so long. They're not

840
00:38:13,680 --> 00:38:15,920
Speaker 12: going to go out there and say here, twenty carries.

841
00:38:16,320 --> 00:38:19,680
Speaker 12: You know, he'll be splitting time with Chubb. Marx is

842
00:38:19,719 --> 00:38:22,680
Speaker 12: not going anywhere. It comes to the last spot because

843
00:38:22,760 --> 00:38:27,719
Speaker 12: Dargumbawally is so versatile and I would think he would

844
00:38:27,719 --> 00:38:30,880
Speaker 12: have the inside track and the other guys a couple

845
00:38:30,880 --> 00:38:34,960
Speaker 12: of them might be candidates for the practice squad, but

846
00:38:35,080 --> 00:38:38,200
Speaker 12: I think you'd keep four and the top four would

847
00:38:38,200 --> 00:38:41,920
Speaker 12: be set. But the key is, you know, when they

848
00:38:41,920 --> 00:38:44,960
Speaker 12: get to fifty three, we'll find out more about all

849
00:38:44,960 --> 00:38:48,040
Speaker 12: these injured players. And it would be great if mix

850
00:38:48,080 --> 00:38:52,320
Speaker 12: and come back getting the ball about ten times against

851
00:38:52,400 --> 00:38:55,560
Speaker 12: the Rams and then fifteen times the next game, because

852
00:38:55,600 --> 00:38:58,720
Speaker 12: you know he's hungry. He's been out for so long.

853
00:39:00,280 --> 00:39:02,760
Speaker 12: You know he's just itching to get back on the field.

854
00:39:03,760 --> 00:39:09,160
Speaker 12: But Dedugans have been very careful with under Nick Serio Dimiko.

855
00:39:09,600 --> 00:39:13,400
Speaker 12: When somebody's ready, they usually wait another week just to

856
00:39:13,440 --> 00:39:13,920
Speaker 12: be sure.

857
00:39:15,480 --> 00:39:18,360
Speaker 4: General Anthony richards Sid he's out there.

858
00:39:18,640 --> 00:39:20,760
Speaker 8: Colts are gonna be their starter this week?

859
00:39:20,920 --> 00:39:21,799
Speaker 7: Who's it going to be?

860
00:39:23,880 --> 00:39:29,160
Speaker 12: I think it's gonna be, Oh gosh, they need Richardson

861
00:39:29,239 --> 00:39:33,560
Speaker 12: to play and play well or they may lose their jobs.

862
00:39:34,040 --> 00:39:39,120
Speaker 12: I saw the carly erse Say Gordon quoted again this

863
00:39:39,320 --> 00:39:44,560
Speaker 12: week and about they talked to her about personnel stuff,

864
00:39:44,600 --> 00:39:48,200
Speaker 12: which is fine. You just don't see owners talking about

865
00:39:48,239 --> 00:39:53,960
Speaker 12: personnel except Jerry Jones, of course. And so I say

866
00:39:54,000 --> 00:39:57,440
Speaker 12: Anthony Richardson just because you know he's supposed to be

867
00:39:57,560 --> 00:40:00,560
Speaker 12: the future he better be the president. They go with

868
00:40:00,680 --> 00:40:04,239
Speaker 12: Daniel Jones and Andy I don't think that scares anybody.

869
00:40:04,640 --> 00:40:08,720
Speaker 12: I believe I read only two starting quarterbacks with ratings

870
00:40:08,719 --> 00:40:12,000
Speaker 12: of less than eighty where Richardson and Jones last year.

871
00:40:12,040 --> 00:40:14,960
Speaker 12: I haven't looked it up. That's a very telling stamp.

872
00:40:15,080 --> 00:40:19,360
Speaker 12: They gotta find up. Can Anthony Richardson play? Can he

873
00:40:19,440 --> 00:40:23,279
Speaker 12: be anywhere near what they thought he was going to

874
00:40:23,320 --> 00:40:25,720
Speaker 12: be when they made him the fourth overall pick, because

875
00:40:26,120 --> 00:40:28,720
Speaker 12: right now he's been a cargant one bust.

876
00:40:29,000 --> 00:40:31,680
Speaker 4: They have a quarterback in Jacksonville named Trevor Lawrence who

877
00:40:31,680 --> 00:40:34,239
Speaker 4: took on the Saints yesterday and despite a fumble that

878
00:40:34,400 --> 00:40:39,759
Speaker 4: was really not good, real twisted around situation. What do

879
00:40:39,840 --> 00:40:42,160
Speaker 4: you get stepped on by an offensive lineman? It just

880
00:40:42,200 --> 00:40:45,480
Speaker 4: looked bad. It just looked bad for the Jags. But anyway,

881
00:40:45,480 --> 00:40:49,160
Speaker 4: he bounced back, played better against the New Orleans Saints

882
00:40:49,400 --> 00:40:52,680
Speaker 4: and they're saying Richardson's fine, He's gonna be good under

883
00:40:52,719 --> 00:40:53,600
Speaker 4: Liam Kohne.

884
00:40:53,600 --> 00:40:55,319
Speaker 8: Have you seen anything how about this?

885
00:40:55,520 --> 00:40:58,400
Speaker 4: Have you seen anything from any of these AFC South

886
00:40:58,760 --> 00:41:02,439
Speaker 4: opponents that will make you change your mind about where

887
00:41:02,440 --> 00:41:04,839
Speaker 4: you have them stacked up in your projections heading into

888
00:41:04,840 --> 00:41:06,040
Speaker 4: the twenty twenty five seasons.

889
00:41:06,080 --> 00:41:10,560
Speaker 12: No, I've got Jacksonville second a distance second, Coles third,

890
00:41:10,920 --> 00:41:14,640
Speaker 12: Titans fourth, and if one if the Titans get out

891
00:41:14,680 --> 00:41:17,600
Speaker 12: of fourth place, then the team they beat, coach ought

892
00:41:17,640 --> 00:41:20,640
Speaker 12: to be fired because they just don't have a lot

893
00:41:20,680 --> 00:41:25,080
Speaker 12: of talent and they're playing a rookie quarterback. And all

894
00:41:25,080 --> 00:41:28,680
Speaker 12: we know is Stroud and Lawrence are solidified at their jobs.

895
00:41:29,080 --> 00:41:31,759
Speaker 12: Lawrence is the second best quarterback. I think he'll do

896
00:41:31,880 --> 00:41:35,640
Speaker 12: well playing for Lim Cohen. Obviously there's some growing things

897
00:41:35,960 --> 00:41:40,160
Speaker 12: with a new coach, new offense, new terminology. But the Texans,

898
00:41:40,200 --> 00:41:43,759
Speaker 12: borring an injury to Strive, who looked really good in

899
00:41:43,840 --> 00:41:49,879
Speaker 12: the game, they need they're gonna have, They're gonna run away.

900
00:41:49,880 --> 00:41:51,080
Speaker 12: They should run away.

901
00:41:50,880 --> 00:41:51,520
Speaker 6: With the vision.

902
00:41:51,640 --> 00:41:54,959
Speaker 12: Now that would drive to me go crazy, but that's

903
00:41:55,000 --> 00:41:57,399
Speaker 12: the fact. You guys know it, and I know it.

904
00:41:57,800 --> 00:42:00,360
Speaker 12: This is clearly the best team in this division on

905
00:42:00,440 --> 00:42:01,279
Speaker 12: both sides.

906
00:42:01,040 --> 00:42:01,520
Speaker 8: Of the ball.

907
00:42:02,000 --> 00:42:05,319
Speaker 12: A great defense. By the way, I don't know if

908
00:42:05,400 --> 00:42:08,160
Speaker 12: y'all saw this. I read something last week and I

909
00:42:08,160 --> 00:42:11,480
Speaker 12: don't remember if this Pro Football Focus. He was one

910
00:42:11,520 --> 00:42:14,240
Speaker 12: of the stat guys. There were two of them talking

911
00:42:14,280 --> 00:42:17,440
Speaker 12: about the Texans defense. So I clicked on it and

912
00:42:17,480 --> 00:42:20,560
Speaker 12: they went over as he's outshire when he was on

913
00:42:20,600 --> 00:42:24,400
Speaker 12: the field last year, how great they were in every

914
00:42:24,640 --> 00:42:28,279
Speaker 12: stat and when he was not, like when he was suspended,

915
00:42:28,800 --> 00:42:33,399
Speaker 12: every one of those stats went up. And so they

916
00:42:33,440 --> 00:42:36,040
Speaker 12: were saying he's the most important player on that defense,

917
00:42:36,360 --> 00:42:40,120
Speaker 12: and they justified it by these analytical stats. It just

918
00:42:40,239 --> 00:42:41,120
Speaker 12: blew me away.

919
00:42:41,239 --> 00:42:41,839
Speaker 8: I had no.

920
00:42:42,640 --> 00:42:46,160
Speaker 12: Idea about how well this defense played when he was

921
00:42:46,200 --> 00:42:46,760
Speaker 12: on the field.

922
00:42:47,800 --> 00:42:50,920
Speaker 2: Not only that, when he's healthy last year by the

923
00:42:51,000 --> 00:42:53,680
Speaker 2: end of the year, and I think something was bothering.

924
00:42:53,719 --> 00:42:55,000
Speaker 3: I don't know if it's a knee or something. Something

925
00:42:55,080 --> 00:42:55,520
Speaker 3: was bothering.

926
00:42:56,480 --> 00:43:00,279
Speaker 12: Small. All their linebackers are small because they want to

927
00:43:00,360 --> 00:43:02,960
Speaker 12: run and be quick, and you think about it, you

928
00:43:03,040 --> 00:43:06,319
Speaker 12: get the pounding that they take. That's one reason they

929
00:43:06,320 --> 00:43:09,560
Speaker 12: wanted speed. They got depth at linebacker. Boy, if if

930
00:43:09,560 --> 00:43:12,200
Speaker 12: Harris could come back and play its last year, cool

931
00:43:12,280 --> 00:43:15,280
Speaker 12: contract be a good time for him to do it. Really,

932
00:43:15,840 --> 00:43:19,480
Speaker 12: you'd have a zeas and then you'd have Portoa as

933
00:43:19,560 --> 00:43:23,360
Speaker 12: the starters with Speed and Harris coming off the bench.

934
00:43:23,440 --> 00:43:26,000
Speaker 12: And that's not even counting any other guys that keep.

935
00:43:26,600 --> 00:43:29,759
Speaker 12: But you know the pounding that they take because they're

936
00:43:29,800 --> 00:43:33,600
Speaker 12: all about speed and quickness. I'd like, you know, you

937
00:43:33,640 --> 00:43:36,400
Speaker 12: can't ever tell looking at the roster what people weigh.

938
00:43:37,480 --> 00:43:40,879
Speaker 12: Bridge Brooks has listed like two twenty five and two

939
00:43:40,920 --> 00:43:44,520
Speaker 12: forty three's worked out like crazy. I'm sure every weight's

940
00:43:44,600 --> 00:43:47,360
Speaker 12: different because they're college weights, but I'd like to know

941
00:43:47,440 --> 00:43:50,919
Speaker 12: what all those linebackers wait because they can flat move

942
00:43:51,040 --> 00:43:54,480
Speaker 12: and cover a ground. That's what everybody that I watch

943
00:43:54,560 --> 00:43:59,560
Speaker 12: online that I respect, former coaches players, they talk about

944
00:43:59,600 --> 00:44:02,960
Speaker 12: the of the Texans defense, not just the talent, but

945
00:44:03,040 --> 00:44:06,319
Speaker 12: the speed and how impressive it is.

946
00:44:06,840 --> 00:44:09,240
Speaker 3: There is the General John McClain.

947
00:44:09,320 --> 00:44:11,520
Speaker 2: Now, one of the questions that I asked the General

948
00:44:11,600 --> 00:44:15,719
Speaker 2: this morning was what he thought the quarterback situation would

949
00:44:15,760 --> 00:44:19,319
Speaker 2: be in Cleveland. I think all three of us were

950
00:44:19,840 --> 00:44:24,640
Speaker 2: pretty much on board with the fact that Joe Flacco

951
00:44:24,680 --> 00:44:27,600
Speaker 2: would win the Cleveland Brown's job. We kind of battered

952
00:44:27,600 --> 00:44:33,239
Speaker 2: out some ideas well. The Browns made it officiale today,

953
00:44:34,000 --> 00:44:39,920
Speaker 2: Joe Flacco is the Browns starting quarterback. Now, that's well

954
00:44:40,080 --> 00:44:44,239
Speaker 2: one piece of news and pretty important. The other part

955
00:44:44,280 --> 00:44:46,040
Speaker 2: is who ends up being his backup? Can can you

956
00:44:46,080 --> 00:44:49,160
Speaker 2: Pickett get back and be his backup? Is it Shador Sanders?

957
00:44:49,520 --> 00:44:53,440
Speaker 2: Is it Dylan Gabriel Dylan solid ball game, but he

958
00:44:53,480 --> 00:44:58,040
Speaker 2: did have two key turnovers. He's not gonna make anybody

959
00:44:58,080 --> 00:45:01,480
Speaker 2: happy there in Cleveland with that whole situation. But Joe Flacco,

960
00:45:02,040 --> 00:45:06,640
Speaker 2: two years after he led the Browns to the playoffs

961
00:45:06,719 --> 00:45:10,680
Speaker 2: and a wild card visit here at home, will go

962
00:45:10,760 --> 00:45:15,480
Speaker 2: back and take over a much different Cleveland Browns team,

963
00:45:16,239 --> 00:45:21,400
Speaker 2: much much different now. How long does he stay in

964
00:45:21,440 --> 00:45:24,600
Speaker 2: the starting quarterback mains to be seen. Who's the number two,

965
00:45:24,640 --> 00:45:28,600
Speaker 2: like I said, remains to be seen. Don't have any

966
00:45:28,760 --> 00:45:32,480
Speaker 2: clue what's gonna happen with the backup job, which I

967
00:45:32,480 --> 00:45:37,840
Speaker 2: think is probably gonna have people more interested I suppose,

968
00:45:38,360 --> 00:45:40,160
Speaker 2: whether it's Kenny Pickett or whether it can be one

969
00:45:40,200 --> 00:45:42,719
Speaker 2: of the two rookies. I don't think snoopunt Lee would

970
00:45:42,800 --> 00:45:46,959
Speaker 2: end up winning that job, but it remains to be seen.

971
00:45:47,040 --> 00:45:51,759
Speaker 2: So we'll kind of see what happens there with the

972
00:45:51,760 --> 00:45:57,680
Speaker 2: Cleveland Browns. The Bengals are listening to Trey Hendrickson trade offers.

973
00:45:58,360 --> 00:46:01,799
Speaker 2: This whole contract situation in Cincinnati not going the way

974
00:46:01,880 --> 00:46:06,560
Speaker 2: that Trey light Or would like, so they are entertaining offers.

975
00:46:07,440 --> 00:46:10,880
Speaker 2: And it just so happened today that Elliott Wolf the

976
00:46:10,880 --> 00:46:14,080
Speaker 2: facto GM in New England is like, yeah, we've got

977
00:46:14,160 --> 00:46:17,320
Speaker 2: cap room and we got draft capital. We don't mind

978
00:46:18,200 --> 00:46:20,680
Speaker 2: Trey Hendrickson goes to New England. Oh, I would hate that,

979
00:46:20,719 --> 00:46:22,160
Speaker 2: even though we don't play New England. I would just

980
00:46:22,200 --> 00:46:23,960
Speaker 2: hate that. I don't want to see New England get

981
00:46:24,000 --> 00:46:26,520
Speaker 2: any kind of momentum anymore. And I think they've got

982
00:46:26,560 --> 00:46:28,239
Speaker 2: a lot of it with Mike Vrabel and Drake May.

983
00:46:28,280 --> 00:46:32,200
Speaker 2: But we'll see how that goes. I mentioned it a

984
00:46:32,239 --> 00:46:37,480
Speaker 2: little bit earlier, la Rams quarterback Matt Stafford back at practice,

985
00:46:39,280 --> 00:46:41,920
Speaker 2: Sean mcvagh after practice saying, hey, we'll take it one

986
00:46:41,960 --> 00:46:43,480
Speaker 2: day at a time. That's really all you can do

987
00:46:43,520 --> 00:46:45,280
Speaker 2: with it, just one day at a time with his back.

988
00:46:45,719 --> 00:46:49,400
Speaker 2: But I saw a couple of throws a video that

989
00:46:49,640 --> 00:46:52,879
Speaker 2: ended up on the twitters on social media, like Matt

990
00:46:52,920 --> 00:46:54,040
Speaker 2: was ripping it pretty good.

991
00:46:54,280 --> 00:46:55,719
Speaker 3: We'll see how his back reacts.

992
00:46:55,840 --> 00:46:57,640
Speaker 2: We'll see how his back reacts if he's gonna be

993
00:46:57,640 --> 00:47:00,279
Speaker 2: there Week one against the Texans, because they're gonna bring

994
00:47:00,280 --> 00:47:02,480
Speaker 2: the funk on a thirty seven year old quarterback. But

995
00:47:03,160 --> 00:47:05,239
Speaker 2: that is for a little bit down the road. We'll

996
00:47:05,719 --> 00:47:08,719
Speaker 2: get there very very soon. We got a week of

997
00:47:08,760 --> 00:47:11,759
Speaker 2: work against the Detroit Lions. Uh, before we can get

998
00:47:11,800 --> 00:47:15,200
Speaker 2: down to fifty three man roster, get to a practice squad,

999
00:47:15,480 --> 00:47:18,879
Speaker 2: and then we'll start preparing for the LA Rams. Now,

1000
00:47:18,880 --> 00:47:21,720
Speaker 2: the team might be preparing, which is good, but we'll

1001
00:47:21,760 --> 00:47:24,399
Speaker 2: hold our preparation for them for just a little bit.

1002
00:47:24,440 --> 00:47:25,640
Speaker 3: All right, that's gonna do it for the show.

1003
00:47:25,640 --> 00:47:29,000
Speaker 2: Big thanks to John McClain, Andy klou To, Woody Marks,

1004
00:47:29,040 --> 00:47:32,160
Speaker 2: and Clinton Sean for doing the postgame show. Maman Demico

1005
00:47:32,239 --> 00:47:35,319

1006
00:47:35,360 --> 00:47:36,120
