1
00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:02,639
Speaker 1: To be able to take it to that next level.

2
00:00:02,840 --> 00:00:07,520
Speaker 1: That's what I'm excited about. Neils Rick cast be doing

3
00:00:07,600 --> 00:00:12,680
Speaker 1: the ad with the sack back at the twenty five

4
00:00:12,760 --> 00:00:17,720
Speaker 1: yard line touchdown. You'll stand rock and roll, Tremon Smith

5
00:00:18,079 --> 00:00:22,480
Speaker 1: coast to coast. There is no off season for your

6
00:00:22,600 --> 00:00:28,280
Speaker 1: Houston Texans. Game day is every day now It's Texans's

7
00:00:28,360 --> 00:00:33,080
Speaker 1: all excess. So like many of you, I used to

8
00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:37,080
Speaker 1: wonder what would happen when Groundhog Day ran smack dab

9
00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:40,720
Speaker 1: into the real world. And that's pretty much what we

10
00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:43,600
Speaker 1: have in the NFL. We've got the greatest reality show.

11
00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:47,360
Speaker 1: Day after day after day. You wake up and go,

12
00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:51,239
Speaker 1: what's gonna happen today? What's gonna happen today? Well, a

13
00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:54,920
Speaker 1: lot has happened, and we are here to break it

14
00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:57,800
Speaker 1: down in Texas All Access. I'm John Harris alongside the

15
00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:03,680
Speaker 1: voice of the Texans, Mark Vanimir Mark. Happy Groundhog Day

16
00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:07,319
Speaker 1: or as well, the first day of the New League

17
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:13,119
Speaker 1: Year aka the third day of Legal Tampering Gone official,

18
00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:15,280
Speaker 1: whatever you want to call it, it's still crazy. How

19
00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:18,840
Speaker 1: you doing, my friend? You know, Johnny, My very first

20
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:23,119
Speaker 1: full time radio job was within an hour from Punk Satanni, Pennsylvania,

21
00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:26,319
Speaker 1: where the groundhog lives. This is like many groundhogs though.

22
00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:28,319
Speaker 1: This is a lot of groundhogs doing a lot of

23
00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:32,640
Speaker 1: different things. And we're waiting on a big thing here. Yes,

24
00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:34,760
Speaker 1: and we'll let you know we're live. We'll let you

25
00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:37,240
Speaker 1: know as soon as it happens. If it does happen

26
00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:41,200
Speaker 1: anytime soon. You get the feeling, I don't know, Johnny,

27
00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:44,280
Speaker 1: do you feel like it's within the next hour or

28
00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:46,880
Speaker 1: two or does it take another day or two? What

29
00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:50,000
Speaker 1: are you thinking about this? What's your I felt like

30
00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:53,600
Speaker 1: I feel like it's not even gonna happen. I don't know.

31
00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:57,760
Speaker 1: Maybe that's just my wife, my wife speaking, because my

32
00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:00,000
Speaker 1: wife is always like that, it's just not gonna happ

33
00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:02,960
Speaker 1: It's just not gonna happen. That's kind of the way

34
00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:09,520
Speaker 1: I feel. Jay Glazer put this out earlier today about

35
00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:13,200
Speaker 1: I don't know it's Darren Clint Show. Teams involved in

36
00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:16,560
Speaker 1: Deshaw Watson trade talks believe an answer is coming, perhaps

37
00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:21,480
Speaker 1: as early as today Slash tonight. And then Jay put

38
00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:23,760
Speaker 1: another tweet which I thought was kind of interesting. He said,

39
00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:26,359
Speaker 1: ultimate it's up to Watson to choose, though, but even

40
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:29,040
Speaker 1: after Watson picks his destination, Texas could try to get

41
00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:32,240
Speaker 1: a little more comp conversation, so that could drag out more.

42
00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:35,200
Speaker 1: All these teams still waiting but realize Watson's Torment decision,

43
00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:37,320
Speaker 1: as it is a huge decision. They are all in

44
00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:41,240
Speaker 1: a holding pattern. So that's where we are. We are

45
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:45,919
Speaker 1: in a holding pattern in some respects, Mark, I don't

46
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:51,200
Speaker 1: I don't know. I've I've seen some people suggest this weekend.

47
00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:56,560
Speaker 1: I've seen Jay Glazer suggested, could be today tonight. I

48
00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:59,560
Speaker 1: don't know. I'm getting to a point of you know what,

49
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:04,480
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure it's gonna happen, but I don't know.

50
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:07,160
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, you think, you think about these situations,

51
00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:09,520
Speaker 1: and I know this hasn't happened. There have been so

52
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:12,160
Speaker 1: many different signings, but you always kind of go to

53
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:15,040
Speaker 1: the to the outliers, the ones that happened. Like Jady McKissick.

54
00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:17,720
Speaker 1: You know, he's going to the bills and then oh

55
00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:20,200
Speaker 1: the commander's offer from a contractor. He's gonna stay in Washington.

56
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:22,720
Speaker 1: Randy Gregory was all set to be a cowboy again

57
00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:26,160
Speaker 1: and then Jerry and his legal team snuck some language

58
00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:27,880
Speaker 1: in there, and he's like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa wha, No,

59
00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:30,840
Speaker 1: I'm going to Denver. So there there are a couple

60
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:32,880
Speaker 1: of outliers. But it's one of those things where I'll

61
00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:36,080
Speaker 1: I'll believe it when I see it. And as I

62
00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:37,640
Speaker 1: said last night, I don't want to see it from

63
00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:42,320
Speaker 1: ad narn Scheister or you know, rap sheets with a Z.

64
00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:44,720
Speaker 1: You know, I want to I want to see it

65
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:51,280
Speaker 1: from the actual legitimate individual of Ian Rappaport or Adam Schefter.

66
00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:54,560
Speaker 1: But yeah, you know, I don't know about you. But

67
00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:58,440
Speaker 1: it's really I don't know the right way of saying this,

68
00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:01,040
Speaker 1: because it's gonna come up from a foot all standpoint

69
00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:04,880
Speaker 1: just kinda it's almost like twiddling your thumbs. You just

70
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:07,760
Speaker 1: get to a point where it's not only frustrating, but like,

71
00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:11,320
Speaker 1: come on, get it's frustrating because you want an answer. Well,

72
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:13,560
Speaker 1: but the Glacier, let's talk about it. It is a

73
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:16,120
Speaker 1: big decision, and it is obviously something that the Shawn's

74
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:17,520
Speaker 1: got to live with, the Texans are gonna have to

75
00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:19,680
Speaker 1: be happy with, and and we're gonna have to get

76
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:21,680
Speaker 1: that done. And I could be five minutes and could

77
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:23,839
Speaker 1: be five days, gree five months, I don't know for

78
00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:27,080
Speaker 1: all that matters. What does any kind of delay even

79
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:29,960
Speaker 1: a day, and I hate, I hesitate to call it

80
00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:32,279
Speaker 1: a delay. Everything feels like a delay after over a

81
00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:35,800
Speaker 1: year of this. But what does a delay due to

82
00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:38,920
Speaker 1: the Texans. Obviously it affects a lot of different things.

83
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:41,920
Speaker 1: I mean, guys like Baker Mayfield are in the wind,

84
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:46,119
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan is in the wind. Think about this, this

85
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:50,320
Speaker 1: whole prospect of these teams being able to acquire Deshaun

86
00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:55,520
Speaker 1: Watson and possibly being able to acquire him, the prospect

87
00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:57,880
Speaker 1: of being able to acquire him, what has it done

88
00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:02,880
Speaker 1: to their quarterback situation in the relationship they have, Atlanta's

89
00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:07,039
Speaker 1: relationship with Matt Ryan, who I think it was Landry said,

90
00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:11,560
Speaker 1: greatest quarterback in the history of that franchise. Yes, right, absolutely,

91
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:13,760
Speaker 1: I should have woulda could have won a Super Bowl.

92
00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:15,600
Speaker 1: I know they went to another one, but come on,

93
00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:19,039
Speaker 1: and it's Matt Ryan, former MVP, and he's still there

94
00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:22,080
Speaker 1: and he's still able to play football. Now, he's not

95
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:25,760
Speaker 1: your next ten years guy, and that's what they're angling for.

96
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:28,920
Speaker 1: Baker may feel different story. Of course, we know Cleveland

97
00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:31,640
Speaker 1: probably feels this way about him anyway, and they have

98
00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:35,720
Speaker 1: a chance to go ahead and score big, so they're

99
00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:37,599
Speaker 1: gonna take that chance, and now they have to do

100
00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:40,000
Speaker 1: something else. And Mayfield put out that tweet last night.

101
00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:47,560
Speaker 1: I mean, this stuff is such drama induced filled it

102
00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:51,320
Speaker 1: just in the storylines are voluminous. It's so much fun

103
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:54,520
Speaker 1: to follow for fans, I think, but it's also frustrating.

104
00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:59,160
Speaker 1: Hence the Groundhog Day aspect that you brought up right away. Look,

105
00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:01,880
Speaker 1: I'm like you, I want it to happen so fast,

106
00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:04,640
Speaker 1: but I feel like Sean Connery and the Untouchables as well.

107
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:07,400
Speaker 1: Don't wait for it to happen. Joe't even want it

108
00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:10,400
Speaker 1: to happen, because you know, the longer you're on pins

109
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:12,520
Speaker 1: and needles, you just feel like you are twiddling your

110
00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:14,320
Speaker 1: thumbs in a way. But look, you don't want to

111
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:16,320
Speaker 1: rush it. You want it to be right. And I

112
00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:18,640
Speaker 1: think as far as the Texans go football wise, you

113
00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:21,120
Speaker 1: said football wise, and I wanted to go there. What

114
00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:23,360
Speaker 1: does it do for another day or two to go

115
00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:28,320
Speaker 1: by for the Texans football wise? Not a ton necessarily right.

116
00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:31,960
Speaker 1: They might not acquire a certain player through free agency

117
00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:35,440
Speaker 1: or a position group member that they might think they

118
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:38,440
Speaker 1: can get in this deal right, because players are bound

119
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:40,880
Speaker 1: to be involved. It's not just draft choices, But as

120
00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:42,919
Speaker 1: far as the draft picks go, they're gonna be what

121
00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:44,360
Speaker 1: they're gonna be and you don't have to make those

122
00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:46,800
Speaker 1: selections for another month and a half. Yeah. Absolutely, I

123
00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:52,880
Speaker 1: mean that's you're right about that. But if in Carolina,

124
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:56,240
Speaker 1: whether you're Brian Burns or Derek Brown or jac Horne,

125
00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:58,400
Speaker 1: this isn't just quarterbacks that are kind of sitting on

126
00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:00,600
Speaker 1: pins and needles. You know, if you're an if you're

127
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:02,480
Speaker 1: in Atlanta, you're a really good player. You go, man,

128
00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:03,839
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna be with the Falcons, or am I

129
00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:07,160
Speaker 1: gonna be going to Houston? You know? Sam in Cleveland. Obviously,

130
00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:10,760
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield took to Instagram because I guess that's what

131
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:14,000
Speaker 1: the kids do nowadays, and sort of let out his

132
00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:17,280
Speaker 1: let out his feelings, which yeah, I have plot people

133
00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:21,760
Speaker 1: for bletting their feelings out. He's in a really rough

134
00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:26,240
Speaker 1: situation at that point, and you know that's the hard

135
00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:29,120
Speaker 1: part for him. But it's it's more than just the quarterbacks.

136
00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:32,040
Speaker 1: But this is something that we I did last night

137
00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:35,120
Speaker 1: on a podcast Mark the Quarterback Roulette. We talked about

138
00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:39,880
Speaker 1: this before about where quarterbacks end up going. So if

139
00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:45,400
Speaker 1: Deshan being the biggest domino. Once Deshan goes then how

140
00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:48,320
Speaker 1: does that impact you know, maybe he's not a big domino.

141
00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:51,559
Speaker 1: If Deshaun ends up going to Carolina, is there's still

142
00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:53,720
Speaker 1: a lot of movement. I mean Matt Ryan obviously stays

143
00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:57,160
Speaker 1: in Atlanta. You know, does Cleveland try and repair things

144
00:07:57,240 --> 00:08:00,440
Speaker 1: with Baker or do they look at Jimmy g Does

145
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:02,400
Speaker 1: Meg go over there because that might he might feel

146
00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:05,520
Speaker 1: with Kevin Stefanski. Does Baker Mayfield go to the Colts?

147
00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:07,240
Speaker 1: You know, the Colts a gotta get involved in this

148
00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:10,400
Speaker 1: in some way, shape or form that I mean, they're

149
00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:13,720
Speaker 1: they don't they don't have an option. I mean Carson

150
00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:16,840
Speaker 1: Wentz was the guy last year. Obviously he's now officially

151
00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:18,680
Speaker 1: with the Commanders. So the Colts have got to get

152
00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:21,160
Speaker 1: involved and this in some way, shape or form. So

153
00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:24,680
Speaker 1: they get involved in Baker Mayfield if the if DeShawn

154
00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:27,520
Speaker 1: picks Atlanta and that's the deal that gets made, the

155
00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:29,760
Speaker 1: Colts get in on Matt Ryan. I mean, they're one

156
00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:32,920
Speaker 1: of the few teams around the league that could just

157
00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:36,280
Speaker 1: take Matt Ryan. I don't want to say sight unseen,

158
00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:40,640
Speaker 1: but because the salary cap openings that they have and

159
00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:43,160
Speaker 1: the cap room that they have. They could just take

160
00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:46,280
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan on and take all that money and in

161
00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:50,440
Speaker 1: turn forced the Falcons to give them pay, like, hey,

162
00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:54,240
Speaker 1: we'll give you Matt Ryan, take all the financial responsibility

163
00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:57,640
Speaker 1: and we'll call it even or you know, or or

164
00:08:57,640 --> 00:08:58,960
Speaker 1: we'll give you a pick. You know. It might be

165
00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:01,600
Speaker 1: one of those situations. Kind of crazy, but you know,

166
00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:03,720
Speaker 1: if they have to move Matt Ryan, then the Texans

167
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:06,000
Speaker 1: are presumably getting all the picks. So I don't know

168
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:10,040
Speaker 1: how that's gonna come to be. But the domino impact,

169
00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:14,600
Speaker 1: the domino effect of the Sean deciding where to go

170
00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:17,600
Speaker 1: and then the trade being made has ramifications not only

171
00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:22,959
Speaker 1: quarterback wise but player wise throughout throughout the league. And

172
00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:25,839
Speaker 1: there obviously are some teams that are just like, you know, hey,

173
00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:28,040
Speaker 1: we're good, you know, including one in Buffalo We're gonna

174
00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:30,600
Speaker 1: get to in a little bit. But that domino impact

175
00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:34,040
Speaker 1: of where does Sean goes is gonna be real intriguing.

176
00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:37,559
Speaker 1: Not only okay, boy, he's going to this place. The

177
00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:39,880
Speaker 1: Texans are trading him, they got this back. Those will

178
00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:43,240
Speaker 1: be talking points for us here in Houston for days,

179
00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:49,000
Speaker 1: weeks maybe, but the side conversation is gonna be Okay,

180
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:51,760
Speaker 1: well what does that mean for this team? Now? What

181
00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:54,000
Speaker 1: what are they gonna do? What's gonna happen here in

182
00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:55,960
Speaker 1: Atlanta if he goes to Atlanta. So there's just so

183
00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:58,200
Speaker 1: many different things that have got to now fall into

184
00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:03,600
Speaker 1: place with and what given what happens with this trade.

185
00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:07,400
Speaker 1: Potentially it's potentially because again I'll believe when I see

186
00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:09,480
Speaker 1: it sort of thing. But with Deshaun it has such

187
00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:11,520
Speaker 1: an impact around the league with so many different teams

188
00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:15,680
Speaker 1: are looking for quarterbacks. I'm just wondering for Nick Assario.

189
00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:17,640
Speaker 1: I can't wait till we finally visit with him, and

190
00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:20,560
Speaker 1: we will once they get everything all wrapped up. But

191
00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:22,959
Speaker 1: we're gonna visit with Nick, and that wouldn't be tonight

192
00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:24,960
Speaker 1: during this show, although I would love it to be.

193
00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:27,280
Speaker 1: But when we visit with him, I want to ask

194
00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:29,920
Speaker 1: him what it was like to chase down free agents

195
00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:33,240
Speaker 1: and evaluate things on the fly. What you have to do.

196
00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:35,040
Speaker 1: It's not quite like the draft, but you have to

197
00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:38,720
Speaker 1: do this because people are available, people are unavailable, You

198
00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:41,640
Speaker 1: have to change tax whatever, and I know he's got help,

199
00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:44,760
Speaker 1: but to go through all of that while you're trying

200
00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:47,840
Speaker 1: to broker this big deal, right, this huge deal, this

201
00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:52,800
Speaker 1: humongous history making deal that we'll be talked about in

202
00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:56,600
Speaker 1: the NFL for a long long time. Nothing has ever

203
00:10:56,720 --> 00:10:59,719
Speaker 1: happened like this. I didn't think that we would ever

204
00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:04,400
Speaker 1: get to this sort of recruitment slash free agency sort

205
00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:07,520
Speaker 1: of thing with Deshaun Watson. But that's where we are.

206
00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:10,760
Speaker 1: And of course, look that's in the deal. That's his right,

207
00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:13,920
Speaker 1: it's the no trade clause. It's all out there, Johnny.

208
00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:17,480
Speaker 1: Other things that have happened today with the Texans. You

209
00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:19,160
Speaker 1: and I talked about some of the new players, some

210
00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:21,920
Speaker 1: of the players who were sticking around. We got more

211
00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:24,720
Speaker 1: of that kind of news today. I don't know where

212
00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:26,800
Speaker 1: you want to start. I'm gonna let you pick. You

213
00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:29,559
Speaker 1: pick one and give me your gut reaction to an

214
00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:33,559
Speaker 1: acquisition that was made today. Yeah, the first one, the one.

215
00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:36,559
Speaker 1: This one stood out to me because of a conversation

216
00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:44,600
Speaker 1: that I had uh with with somebody years ago, Darry Ogumballe.

217
00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:46,959
Speaker 1: I say that, right, I know, we had to say

218
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:53,319
Speaker 1: that during the up has been signed by the Texans,

219
00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:55,520
Speaker 1: and here's it. I don't want to say it's not

220
00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:58,800
Speaker 1: about Dari. I mean Dar. I felt like back a

221
00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:01,000
Speaker 1: few years ago, I was watching young running back kind

222
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:02,760
Speaker 1: of find his sea legs and thought, man, you know,

223
00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:05,640
Speaker 1: it's always good to have a good young running back around.

224
00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:09,440
Speaker 1: I mean, you never know what you might be able

225
00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:11,959
Speaker 1: to get a twenty one, twenty two year old running

226
00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:15,319
Speaker 1: back when you need some young, fresh legs. And man,

227
00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:17,880
Speaker 1: it was kind of like, Oh, he's terrible, he's this,

228
00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:20,280
Speaker 1: He's I'm like, I don't know, man, My eyes, my

229
00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:23,200
Speaker 1: eyes tell me he's not as bad as you think

230
00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:25,720
Speaker 1: he is. And I think he's proven that out. He

231
00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:28,880
Speaker 1: has got in time with Tampa, he was with Jacksonville,

232
00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:31,200
Speaker 1: and so now he comes back to Houston. But here's

233
00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:33,480
Speaker 1: the part that got me, Mark, is the fact that

234
00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:36,839
Speaker 1: the Texans hadn't done a lot with the running back position,

235
00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:41,880
Speaker 1: and they'd signed Rex back in what December, resigned him,

236
00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:46,120
Speaker 1: gave him an extension, and then I think that's it

237
00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:51,800
Speaker 1: that's really been about. It was Rex, Scottie was under contract,

238
00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:54,559
Speaker 1: and then they had Darius Anderson, who they brought in

239
00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:56,360
Speaker 1: about the same time they resigned Rex. So you had

240
00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:58,680
Speaker 1: those three running backs, but other than that, you hadn't

241
00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:03,000
Speaker 1: heard anything about David Johnson or any other free agent

242
00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:05,839
Speaker 1: running back with the with the Texans, so they make

243
00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:10,200
Speaker 1: the first move in the running back round with Darioguala,

244
00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:12,719
Speaker 1: who I think has still got something. Look I got

245
00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:14,960
Speaker 1: sitting here, tell you he's Barry Sanders. No, that's and

246
00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:17,560
Speaker 1: that's that's not what that's not what you're you're paying

247
00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:19,880
Speaker 1: to be. What does he even make the team? Who's

248
00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:22,640
Speaker 1: to say at that point. But I just felt like

249
00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:26,600
Speaker 1: seeing them look at running backs and I want to say,

250
00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:29,640
Speaker 1: you know, go back and rectify a mistake. But somebody

251
00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:32,839
Speaker 1: in the building like Daroga Walle and maybe that person

252
00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:34,880
Speaker 1: was here back when Daria was in a training camp

253
00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:38,040
Speaker 1: or not. But I felt like, and you and I

254
00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:41,960
Speaker 1: talked about this at the time, like he's he's got something.

255
00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:44,880
Speaker 1: I'd like to keep him around and see what we

256
00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:47,840
Speaker 1: could do. Well we didn't. He ended up making plays

257
00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:50,240
Speaker 1: on active roster for the last three or four years

258
00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:52,400
Speaker 1: in the league. So I'm glad to see the Texans

259
00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:55,160
Speaker 1: get in the running back chase, if you will, with

260
00:13:55,720 --> 00:14:00,600
Speaker 1: a relatively inexpensive option that I think bring you a

261
00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:04,760
Speaker 1: decent return. Are you with me that one of the

262
00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:06,480
Speaker 1: things that jumps out to me. Look, he doesn't have

263
00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:09,079
Speaker 1: a ton of number is in any direction, but he

264
00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:12,320
Speaker 1: can catch the football, and I'm betting that he's pretty

265
00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:15,439
Speaker 1: good in past protection as well. I'm not sitting here

266
00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:18,240
Speaker 1: saying he's your third down back full time, but I

267
00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:21,040
Speaker 1: think he's got a chance to contribute that way. And

268
00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:24,240
Speaker 1: we tend to overreact to free agent signings and especially

269
00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:26,960
Speaker 1: money when it's a little bit more money than you

270
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:29,600
Speaker 1: thought a guy would have, could have should have gotten.

271
00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:31,680
Speaker 1: And when I say you, I don't mean you, I

272
00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:34,600
Speaker 1: mean the media out there, because I see reactions to

273
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:38,160
Speaker 1: Eric Murray's deal. They're acting like Eric Murray's making Von

274
00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:43,440
Speaker 1: Miller money. Right, That's not happening. This is all very

275
00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:50,480
Speaker 1: affordable stuff relatively. Didn't Darius Jackson, Right, didn't Darius Jackson

276
00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:52,040
Speaker 1: look pretty good in the Green Bay game in the

277
00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:54,960
Speaker 1: preseason last year? Right? And he's on the roster. He's

278
00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:58,280
Speaker 1: on the roster, so all right, So yeah, look, I

279
00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:00,920
Speaker 1: think there's a loft way to go here. There's the draft,

280
00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:04,120
Speaker 1: there are other running backs out there. Let's just tap

281
00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:07,280
Speaker 1: the brakes here on full reaction. And by let's I

282
00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:11,040
Speaker 1: mean all of us Texans nation. It's a fluid process.

283
00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:15,960
Speaker 1: This is ongoing. Yeah, no doubt. I mean again, I'm

284
00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:18,640
Speaker 1: not sitting here saying that Dara is going to going

285
00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:21,400
Speaker 1: to the Pro Bowl next year. But I think he

286
00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:24,320
Speaker 1: is a capable back that I would have liked to

287
00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:26,360
Speaker 1: have kept around a few years ago to see how

288
00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:29,720
Speaker 1: he would have thrown. And he would have probably gotten

289
00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:32,760
Speaker 1: an opportunity at some point, I would think over the

290
00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:35,240
Speaker 1: last couple of years, because the running game just hadn't

291
00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:39,160
Speaker 1: been that successful. So you mentioned, I mentioned running back.

292
00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:41,440
Speaker 1: I'll go to this one. The Texans have come to

293
00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:44,280
Speaker 1: an agreement on a contract, and Mark, you and I

294
00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:49,680
Speaker 1: have talked about this for a while, knowing presumably that

295
00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:54,040
Speaker 1: Davis Mills was going to be the starter for twenty

296
00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:57,440
Speaker 1: twenty two. That's all we're promised that he was going

297
00:15:57,480 --> 00:15:58,960
Speaker 1: to be the starter, not that he was going to

298
00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:00,880
Speaker 1: be the face of the France shots. We're not putting

299
00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:04,360
Speaker 1: them on tickets. We're not you know, bringing him out

300
00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:07,280
Speaker 1: here at Texans Radio and giving him his own show.

301
00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:10,200
Speaker 1: We're not doing any of that. But we felt like, Okay,

302
00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:12,640
Speaker 1: Davis Mills is the start of guarding at twenty twenty two,

303
00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:15,680
Speaker 1: but who would be the backup? Well, Tyrod Taylor signed

304
00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:18,200
Speaker 1: a two year, seventeen million dollars deal to go to

305
00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:21,480
Speaker 1: the New York Football Giants to gimen so I left

306
00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:26,600
Speaker 1: a big void seemingly as the backup quarterback Jeff Drisco

307
00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:29,520
Speaker 1: has been signed. My man E J. Perry from out

308
00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:32,240
Speaker 1: of Brown University was apparently in the building, as Ian

309
00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:34,760
Speaker 1: Rappaport pointed out today. So I was very proud go Bruno.

310
00:16:35,320 --> 00:16:39,480
Speaker 1: And then today the Texans made it official seemingly. Well,

311
00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:41,360
Speaker 1: I don't know if we've made it official, but sources

312
00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:44,480
Speaker 1: say put it that way. We've agreed to terms with

313
00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:49,200
Speaker 1: Kyle Allen, former five star recruit out of Arizona who

314
00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:52,400
Speaker 1: went to A and M, then transferred University Houston and

315
00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:55,880
Speaker 1: in week four of twenty nineteen, and it's already were

316
00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:59,440
Speaker 1: one of the better Texans teams that we've had over

317
00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:04,080
Speaker 1: the last some years. Kyle Allen beat the Texans that day.

318
00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:07,240
Speaker 1: Got some help from Christian McCaffrey, but Kyle Allen was

319
00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:10,920
Speaker 1: instrumental and making some big throws. Kyle Allen comes to Houston,

320
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:14,280
Speaker 1: not a massive contract, but a veteran with some pelts

321
00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:17,120
Speaker 1: up on the wall. Mark your gut reaction to finding

322
00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:22,159
Speaker 1: the veteran quarterback behind Davis Mills. Well, I told everybody

323
00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:25,400
Speaker 1: on this show the last couple of days everyone reacts

324
00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:28,200
Speaker 1: to the Jeff Driscoll signing. I knew Jeff Driscoll wasn't

325
00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:30,199
Speaker 1: gonna be your backup quarterback, right He's gonna get a

326
00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:32,399
Speaker 1: shot to contribute, maybe a shot to make the roster,

327
00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:34,760
Speaker 1: who knows. But Kyle Allen is the guy who's the

328
00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:38,240
Speaker 1: backup quarterback to Davis Mills. The way we stand right

329
00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:40,680
Speaker 1: now on March sixteenth, and the reason why I put

330
00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:43,920
Speaker 1: it like that, I would not put it past Nick

331
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:48,119
Speaker 1: Casserio to draft a quarterback at some point down the line,

332
00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:51,760
Speaker 1: not high, but down the line in the draft. Not necessarily.

333
00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:55,119
Speaker 1: I wouldn't use the word insurance here, but just hey,

334
00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:59,800
Speaker 1: I'm in the casino and I walked by the roulette table,

335
00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:03,240
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna put some you know, some coins down

336
00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:05,560
Speaker 1: on these numbers and see if they come through for me,

337
00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:09,280
Speaker 1: because why not. Charlie casually once said, hey, see, it's

338
00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:11,560
Speaker 1: always getting a draft quarterback. See, because it's good. You

339
00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:13,400
Speaker 1: can trade him later, you can do whatever you want now.

340
00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:15,480
Speaker 1: It didn't work out for him and Dave Ragone, who's

341
00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:18,000
Speaker 1: now the offensive coordinator in Atlanta, by the way, but

342
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:20,200
Speaker 1: it did for Drew Henson to a degree. All right.

343
00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:23,960
Speaker 1: They bumped up a draft choice by taking him, and

344
00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:27,000
Speaker 1: I think Nick could do that. And if you don't

345
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:29,600
Speaker 1: do that, you have Kyle Allen. If you do do that,

346
00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:32,480
Speaker 1: you still have Kyle Allen, who might be the backup anyway,

347
00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:36,479
Speaker 1: but you might be able to develop a young quarterback. Again,

348
00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:38,800
Speaker 1: a long way to go here. I know everyone wants

349
00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:40,480
Speaker 1: all the hay in the barn right now, but it's

350
00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:43,560
Speaker 1: not gonna happen. It's an ongoing process. I like this

351
00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:48,240
Speaker 1: signing Johnny. He's accurate, all right, He's played enough football

352
00:18:48,280 --> 00:18:50,360
Speaker 1: where he can get out there and do his thing.

353
00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:52,959
Speaker 1: He's gonna play a bunch of the preseason and he

354
00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:55,680
Speaker 1: can help you. We all saw it here up closing personnel.

355
00:18:55,720 --> 00:18:57,720
Speaker 1: By the way, the only guys in the building really

356
00:18:57,960 --> 00:19:00,480
Speaker 1: who were part of that were the guys you know,

357
00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:04,200
Speaker 1: Matt Bazergan, James Lipford. They saw it with their own

358
00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:06,399
Speaker 1: eyes what Kyle Allen did to this team. You know,

359
00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:09,160
Speaker 1: Nick obviously watches all the film in the world, but

360
00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:12,679
Speaker 1: nobody else of note really who has a say or

361
00:19:12,760 --> 00:19:16,000
Speaker 1: input in personnel was in the building, right, I mean,

362
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:20,639
Speaker 1: you really don't have that kind of holdover from that staff. No,

363
00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:23,840
Speaker 1: you're right, and that's uh. I was. I was just saying,

364
00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:25,560
Speaker 1: I remember that game, and you know what, it's three

365
00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:27,760
Speaker 1: years ago. And as Lonnie Johnson tweety the other day,

366
00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:29,760
Speaker 1: he was like, am I the only cat here for

367
00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:34,359
Speaker 1: twenty nineteen? Um, it's pretty darn clothed pretty much pretty much,

368
00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:40,040
Speaker 1: I mean, Titus, Max, Lonnie Week. See anybody I'm missing?

369
00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:45,159
Speaker 1: I mean, there'll be somebody that comes to mind, but

370
00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:48,680
Speaker 1: it's not. It's not a lot. I mean, I mean,

371
00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:51,640
Speaker 1: I'm I'm looking at the roster right here, I Mark,

372
00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:54,879
Speaker 1: it's not. It's not many that were around for that

373
00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:58,360
Speaker 1: that loss to Carolina. There was some for last year's loss,

374
00:19:58,400 --> 00:20:02,000
Speaker 1: but not in twenty nineteen. Kyle Allen joins the Texans.

375
00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:05,399
Speaker 1: Then the Texans made a trade and Mark, I'm not

376
00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:09,399
Speaker 1: expecting you at all to know much about Blake Cashman

377
00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:15,439
Speaker 1: from the New York Jets, but Blake Cashman get traded four.

378
00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:20,159
Speaker 1: I believe it was a twenty twenty three sixth rounder.

379
00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:24,560
Speaker 1: And we saw this with Nick Saria last year taking

380
00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:27,720
Speaker 1: a shot on some players, making a trade for Anthony Miller.

381
00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:29,840
Speaker 1: I think it was a fifth to the Bears. Therebody

382
00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:32,600
Speaker 1: have been some other other pieces involved. The diff Ryanzo

383
00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:36,280
Speaker 1: a seventh to the Patriots to try and see if

384
00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:41,480
Speaker 1: something's there with a younger player that may not have

385
00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:44,680
Speaker 1: had a ton of success, but give an opportunity. Who

386
00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:48,080
Speaker 1: knows what he could do with those guys didn't pan out.

387
00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:52,679
Speaker 1: Maybe Blake Cashman does. Young man about Minnesota, had a

388
00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:56,040
Speaker 1: really good combine Pro Day back when he was coming

389
00:20:56,040 --> 00:20:57,800
Speaker 1: out of Minnesota, but he just hasn't been able to

390
00:20:57,800 --> 00:20:59,840
Speaker 1: stay healthy. He came out of the gates fast, played

391
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:02,920
Speaker 1: very well for the Jets early on, but then with

392
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:06,440
Speaker 1: uninjured reserve for a long time and has struggled to

393
00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:08,920
Speaker 1: get back on the field. So Texans have a twenty

394
00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:11,840
Speaker 1: twenty three sixth rounder for Blake Cashman. And again I

395
00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:14,800
Speaker 1: go back to the running back thoughts earlier Mark the

396
00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:19,399
Speaker 1: fact that they had signed Kirko and Tay Davis was

397
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:21,960
Speaker 1: back aways, and that's really all they had done the

398
00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:25,000
Speaker 1: linebacker positions. So I figured at some point something was

399
00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:27,560
Speaker 1: gonna happen with linebacker and running back. Well, they both

400
00:21:27,560 --> 00:21:30,760
Speaker 1: happened today with running back Dario Okavalle and then Blake

401
00:21:30,800 --> 00:21:33,840
Speaker 1: Cashman making a trade with the New York Jets. Yeah,

402
00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:37,040
Speaker 1: and again these are these guys are just to add

403
00:21:37,080 --> 00:21:39,240
Speaker 1: to the mix, especially Cashman. I mean, I think a

404
00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:42,760
Speaker 1: gounoe can make the roster and contribute that way. I'm

405
00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:44,600
Speaker 1: not saying he's gonna be your belt cow running back

406
00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:48,560
Speaker 1: with Cashman. You're right. You look at his resume here.

407
00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:51,280
Speaker 1: He's been hurt a lot. So let's just see if

408
00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:53,280
Speaker 1: he can finally stay healthy in this building. And you

409
00:21:53,280 --> 00:21:55,320
Speaker 1: know some guys have been able to stay healthy with

410
00:21:55,359 --> 00:21:58,720
Speaker 1: the Houston Texans who weren't healthy previously, So let's see

411
00:21:58,720 --> 00:22:02,520
Speaker 1: if that pans out for him. Just another player to

412
00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:05,320
Speaker 1: watch out for, all right, Eric Murray. Do Eric Murray

413
00:22:05,359 --> 00:22:08,320
Speaker 1: for me? Now, okay, because you know we've seen Eric

414
00:22:08,359 --> 00:22:13,600
Speaker 1: Murray improve right over time at his spot. Yeah. Absolutely, Listen.

415
00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:17,639
Speaker 1: Everybody points back to Eric Murray in the contract that

416
00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:20,680
Speaker 1: he was given when he got here, and that just

417
00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:24,600
Speaker 1: sets up this narrative for a player everybody's expecting when

418
00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:27,919
Speaker 1: they see that money. And then hey, let's get somebody

419
00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:29,880
Speaker 1: on from Cleveland or Kansas City talking about Ic Murray

420
00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:31,600
Speaker 1: and they're like, well, we don't we didn't really see

421
00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:33,320
Speaker 1: him play a whole lot, and that's like, oh, we

422
00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:37,440
Speaker 1: spent Look, Eric Murray will tell you he's made mistakes

423
00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:40,199
Speaker 1: there have been times he hasn't played exceptionally well. There

424
00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:42,919
Speaker 1: were also times last year in particular, I thought he

425
00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:46,280
Speaker 1: played very well and really made plays to keep his

426
00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:50,320
Speaker 1: team in games and to save different points of games.

427
00:22:50,600 --> 00:22:53,280
Speaker 1: He made tremendous plays. They bring him back to get

428
00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:59,280
Speaker 1: his contract renegotiated two years, ten million dollars. That was so. Look,

429
00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:01,240
Speaker 1: people are gonna they're gonna lose their mind when they

430
00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:03,399
Speaker 1: see Eric Murray. Mark They just are because they've got

431
00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:05,639
Speaker 1: a narrative in their head about it. But if you

432
00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:08,359
Speaker 1: really watch him, I'm not gonna again. I'm not gonna

433
00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:10,439
Speaker 1: tell you he's gonna replace Justin Reid or he's going

434
00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:12,679
Speaker 1: to the Pro Bowl or anything. But two years ten

435
00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:16,000
Speaker 1: million dollars is and you have to change the way

436
00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:17,960
Speaker 1: you look at things. You can't look at it from

437
00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:19,879
Speaker 1: five years ago when two years ten million dollars like

438
00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:23,320
Speaker 1: whoa man you paid? You know some Pro bowlers that

439
00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:26,320
Speaker 1: at certain positions, two years ten million dollars, You know,

440
00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:28,720
Speaker 1: that's for a player that has contributed the last couple

441
00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:31,080
Speaker 1: of years and still has something left to contribute and

442
00:23:31,119 --> 00:23:33,439
Speaker 1: play a position that is key in this defense at safety.

443
00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:38,560
Speaker 1: So Eric Murray's back. What is your gut reaction, Mark Vandimir. Look,

444
00:23:38,600 --> 00:23:41,359
Speaker 1: I think that you're trying to help your football team

445
00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:43,960
Speaker 1: in any which way you can. And again, you're shaping

446
00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:47,800
Speaker 1: the roster the best way you can right now, affordably

447
00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:51,160
Speaker 1: because they're not gonna go crazy signing guys who are

448
00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:55,280
Speaker 1: making huge dollars, all right, And Justin Reid's contract with

449
00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:59,639
Speaker 1: the Chiefs, by the way, that's not unbelievable. Back up,

450
00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:02,359
Speaker 1: the brings truck money, although they did send the private

451
00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:05,440
Speaker 1: jet for him, I noticed according to the Chiefs Twitter account,

452
00:24:06,280 --> 00:24:09,480
Speaker 1: But it's more than the Texans are gonna play pay

453
00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:12,280
Speaker 1: for a safety right now, right, especially when they have

454
00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:15,160
Speaker 1: a yeah, especially when they have a boatload of draft

455
00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:17,960
Speaker 1: picks coming. So you're gonna set up the team the

456
00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:21,000
Speaker 1: skeletal structure, right. I know a lot of people think, well,

457
00:24:21,040 --> 00:24:23,400
Speaker 1: wait a minute, you won four games last year. You're

458
00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:25,879
Speaker 1: bringing back a bunch of the same guys. True, but

459
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:30,480
Speaker 1: you're bringing back good guys, right, and you're bringing in

460
00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:33,040
Speaker 1: some pieces to go along with them, and then you're

461
00:24:33,040 --> 00:24:36,120
Speaker 1: gonna fill it in with the draft. And the key

462
00:24:36,200 --> 00:24:39,119
Speaker 1: thing to me of all of this, as I zoom

463
00:24:39,119 --> 00:24:42,520
Speaker 1: out and fly at fifty thousand feet is. If you

464
00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:46,480
Speaker 1: find a way to run the football better, even middle

465
00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:49,239
Speaker 1: of the pack, if you can get to average with

466
00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:52,879
Speaker 1: last year's team, I think you're winning seven or eight games.

467
00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:55,200
Speaker 1: I just do. I mean I saw it. We all

468
00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:57,840
Speaker 1: saw it. I know they got blown out a few times,

469
00:24:58,080 --> 00:25:01,679
Speaker 1: but they had some close games that we're on a

470
00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:04,119
Speaker 1: they were unable to get going at all because they

471
00:25:04,119 --> 00:25:06,639
Speaker 1: couldn't run the football. They were going negative at times.

472
00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:09,160
Speaker 1: We all saw it together, and that can't happen again.

473
00:25:09,359 --> 00:25:12,199
Speaker 1: I think that's where the solutions have to occur. So

474
00:25:12,280 --> 00:25:14,840
Speaker 1: they've worked on the offensive line already relative to this

475
00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:16,600
Speaker 1: time of year, you're gonna work out of again in

476
00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:18,760
Speaker 1: the draft. You know, we all know about the quarterback

477
00:25:18,840 --> 00:25:21,600
Speaker 1: situation and they're gonna add running backs and everything as

478
00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:24,760
Speaker 1: far as Murray goes and the defensive side of the ball.

479
00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:27,680
Speaker 1: We saw some good things that they did, but they

480
00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:30,320
Speaker 1: are not done. And I think adding who they did

481
00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:35,000
Speaker 1: yesterday with MJ. Stewart that helps Oka Rockwell helps. They're

482
00:25:35,040 --> 00:25:39,680
Speaker 1: gonna add more. Malie Collins resigning helps Christian Kirksey des king.

483
00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:43,000
Speaker 1: Let's keep going here, Yeah, and we'll see what happens

484
00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:44,920
Speaker 1: in a trade. You never know Look, if it's a

485
00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:47,639
Speaker 1: trade with the Panthers, maybe you bring back one or

486
00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:50,760
Speaker 1: two of their defensive players to add into the mix

487
00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:55,160
Speaker 1: as well. So you've got that potential. You've got hopefully

488
00:25:55,320 --> 00:25:58,639
Speaker 1: additional draft capital that you're gonna have after the trade.

489
00:25:58,880 --> 00:26:01,720
Speaker 1: And you've already got your own picks, and you had

490
00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:03,879
Speaker 1: a and even if you just take the trade out

491
00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:05,800
Speaker 1: of it, you got a first, a second, and two thirds.

492
00:26:06,359 --> 00:26:08,160
Speaker 1: You know, you've got four picks in the top eighty

493
00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:11,199
Speaker 1: I believe it is. So depending on how you want to,

494
00:26:11,359 --> 00:26:13,399
Speaker 1: you know, use those picks. Those those players are going

495
00:26:13,440 --> 00:26:15,520
Speaker 1: to be added to the mix. Young elite talent. So

496
00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:18,119
Speaker 1: it's all about building this thing, and you got to

497
00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:22,080
Speaker 1: build it with every type of player. And that's what

498
00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:25,240
Speaker 1: what Nick Serio is in the process of doing, no doubt.

499
00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:27,400
Speaker 1: Lovey Smith was in Athens to take a look at

500
00:26:27,720 --> 00:26:31,000
Speaker 1: those elite players at George's pro day. Man of some

501
00:26:31,040 --> 00:26:33,040
Speaker 1: great stuff. All right, we'll break it here. But on

502
00:26:33,080 --> 00:26:36,960
Speaker 1: the other side, the Buffalo Bills are not in the

503
00:26:37,040 --> 00:26:40,680
Speaker 1: AFC West, but they're acting like it. We'll talk about

504
00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:43,040
Speaker 1: that and things going on around the league next right

505

517
00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:26,040
Speaker 1: you plugged in with the Houston Texans. Yes, sir, welcome

518
00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:29,760
Speaker 1: back John Harris alongside Mark Random Year four Texans All

519
00:27:29,800 --> 00:27:36,080
Speaker 1: Access and news breaking. Seemingly during the break we added

520
00:27:36,119 --> 00:27:40,760
Speaker 1: another Questionbury Mark, we now have well, we have Paul

521
00:27:40,800 --> 00:27:45,280
Speaker 1: Quisenberry on the roster fullback. We now have added Scott

522
00:27:45,800 --> 00:27:52,000
Speaker 1: Quisenberry interior offensive lineman. Aaron Wilson from PFN Pro Football

523
00:27:52,040 --> 00:27:55,040
Speaker 1: Network tweeted that a little bit and David Quessenberry obviously

524
00:27:55,080 --> 00:27:57,920
Speaker 1: played for the Texans back in twenty thirteen. He was

525
00:27:58,040 --> 00:28:00,880
Speaker 1: drafted and head to deal with when Foma was out

526
00:28:00,920 --> 00:28:03,520
Speaker 1: for three years, played in twenty seventeen, ended up being

527
00:28:03,600 --> 00:28:07,320
Speaker 1: a starting right tackle for the Tennessee Titans for two years.

528
00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:12,760
Speaker 1: And so we had all three Quasinberries now in Houston.

529
00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:17,040
Speaker 1: Paul here, Scott coming, David has been here. So the

530
00:28:17,119 --> 00:28:21,359
Speaker 1: Quisenberry trio all making its way too and through Houston

531
00:28:21,480 --> 00:28:24,480
Speaker 1: at some point. So Scott gets involved in the interior

532
00:28:24,600 --> 00:28:29,119
Speaker 1: offensive line mix. That is the Texans news that happened

533
00:28:29,440 --> 00:28:33,360
Speaker 1: during the break. But Mark Wright before the showy, wait,

534
00:28:33,359 --> 00:28:35,720
Speaker 1: I gotta say something. I gotta say something about the

535
00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:40,160
Speaker 1: Quisenberry situation, Okay, because I am shallow enough to be

536
00:28:40,360 --> 00:28:43,760
Speaker 1: bitter that David has done so well as a starter

537
00:28:44,480 --> 00:28:46,920
Speaker 1: with the Titans, right, I mean, I'm happy for him.

538
00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:49,280
Speaker 1: Johnny obviously when he went through was so serious and

539
00:28:49,360 --> 00:28:51,920
Speaker 1: I'm being I'm just kind of climbing around here a

540
00:28:51,960 --> 00:28:54,840
Speaker 1: little bit, But you know how I feel, because the

541
00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:59,920
Speaker 1: Texans organization stood by David, and David put in the

542
00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:03,320
Speaker 1: work and the treatment and he finally gets on the

543
00:29:03,440 --> 00:29:07,800
Speaker 1: field Christmas Day against the Steelers twenty seventeen. But eventually

544
00:29:07,840 --> 00:29:10,120
Speaker 1: it's like, yeah, I don't know if you can play

545
00:29:10,240 --> 00:29:12,400
Speaker 1: or what. I don't know what the feeling was, but

546
00:29:12,600 --> 00:29:15,880
Speaker 1: clearly David Qusenberry could play. I mean really, the O'Brien's

547
00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:19,280
Speaker 1: staff originally thought he could play. The Kubiak staff certainly

548
00:29:19,320 --> 00:29:21,120
Speaker 1: thought he could play, because that's when he was drafted

549
00:29:21,120 --> 00:29:24,320
Speaker 1: in twenty thirteen. Everyone pooh pooed that twenty thirteen draft,

550
00:29:24,400 --> 00:29:27,760
Speaker 1: but he had, as it turned out, three players who

551
00:29:27,840 --> 00:29:30,600
Speaker 1: are still alive in this league, not with this team

552
00:29:30,960 --> 00:29:34,720
Speaker 1: from that draft. You have DeAndre Hopkins, Ryan Griffin and

553
00:29:34,880 --> 00:29:39,080
Speaker 1: David Qusenberry. Right, yeah, I remember it is I told

554
00:29:39,160 --> 00:29:42,520
Speaker 1: you I said this actually doing a different draft show

555
00:29:42,520 --> 00:29:45,120
Speaker 1: in twenty thirteen. It was the last draft show I

556
00:29:45,160 --> 00:29:49,640
Speaker 1: would do without you, dare you? Yeah? I know. And

557
00:29:49,720 --> 00:29:53,480
Speaker 1: the Texans drafted a tackle from the University of North Carolina.

558
00:29:54,320 --> 00:29:56,160
Speaker 1: I want to say his name was Williams. I can't

559
00:29:56,160 --> 00:29:59,600
Speaker 1: remember his first Brandon, Brandon Williams in the third round,

560
00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:03,120
Speaker 1: and at the time I was not a fan. When

561
00:30:03,160 --> 00:30:05,840
Speaker 1: they drafted Quessenberry in the sixth round. I remember saying

562
00:30:06,560 --> 00:30:09,080
Speaker 1: they got it backwards. They should drafted Questionbury in the

563
00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:11,760
Speaker 1: third and got Williams in the sixth, and that's kind

564
00:30:11,800 --> 00:30:14,040
Speaker 1: of the way it turned out. Quisenbury ended up being

565
00:30:14,080 --> 00:30:16,760
Speaker 1: around the league for a while. Brandan Williams was, I believe,

566
00:30:16,800 --> 00:30:19,040
Speaker 1: out of the league before twenty fourteen even began, if

567
00:30:19,080 --> 00:30:22,200
Speaker 1: I remember correctly, So yeah, I was. I was right

568
00:30:22,240 --> 00:30:23,720
Speaker 1: on that one. I just thought i'd tell everybody I

569
00:30:23,800 --> 00:30:26,800
Speaker 1: was right before once, because I know you were right,

570
00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:30,760
Speaker 1: never right. I was right that one time, so very

571
00:30:30,840 --> 00:30:33,600
Speaker 1: often get them I'll take my doubburry off and get

572
00:30:33,640 --> 00:30:36,960
Speaker 1: them all right. So right before the show, right before

573
00:30:37,040 --> 00:30:43,040
Speaker 1: the show, I am floating through Twitter and just scrolling like, okay,

574
00:30:43,080 --> 00:30:44,560
Speaker 1: what kind of news? What kind of news? Were kind

575
00:30:44,560 --> 00:30:46,680
Speaker 1: of news? And I see a picture of Bond Miller

576
00:30:48,240 --> 00:30:50,960
Speaker 1: and at the bottom it's Instagram. Now I'm not in it.

577
00:30:51,240 --> 00:30:54,280
Speaker 1: I'm on Instagram, but I don't post anything on Instagram,

578
00:30:54,720 --> 00:30:57,560
Speaker 1: which I probably should change that, but I just, I mean,

579
00:30:57,760 --> 00:30:59,560
Speaker 1: I don't know. Maybe I'm way too old school for that,

580
00:31:00,640 --> 00:31:03,440
Speaker 1: but I've seen Instagram enough to know, like, at the

581
00:31:03,640 --> 00:31:06,240
Speaker 1: bottom of Instagram, I see this a lot of times.

582
00:31:06,280 --> 00:31:12,360
Speaker 1: We're seemingly someone or some team or some organizations tagged,

583
00:31:12,720 --> 00:31:15,760
Speaker 1: you know, at Jared's football at Texans Voice, and I

584
00:31:15,840 --> 00:31:19,920
Speaker 1: see Von Miller's picture and at the bottom I see

585
00:31:20,120 --> 00:31:24,000
Speaker 1: at Buffalo Bills. And then I see the eyeball like

586
00:31:24,040 --> 00:31:29,360
Speaker 1: the eyes emoji, and I'm like, no, there's no way,

587
00:31:30,040 --> 00:31:33,280
Speaker 1: there is no way. I hit refresh, I hit refresh,

588
00:31:33,560 --> 00:31:37,840
Speaker 1: I hit refresh. Von Freaky Miller's going to the Bills?

589
00:31:38,440 --> 00:31:41,720
Speaker 1: Are you kidding me? And then they top that with

590
00:31:42,080 --> 00:31:44,000
Speaker 1: a one year, three and a half million dollars deal

591
00:31:44,080 --> 00:31:47,240
Speaker 1: with tight end O J. Howard. And right before they

592
00:31:47,320 --> 00:31:50,160
Speaker 1: signed Von, it was de Quan Jones who had been

593
00:31:50,240 --> 00:31:52,680
Speaker 1: with the Tennessee Titans for a while. So I was

594
00:31:52,720 --> 00:31:55,400
Speaker 1: glad to see Dequan Jones leave, even though they have

595
00:31:55,520 --> 00:31:59,200
Speaker 1: Nikuon Jones, Dick Quan Jones, pretty good player, BONB. Miller.

596
00:31:59,760 --> 00:32:03,240
Speaker 1: So okay, they signed Vaughan. All right, well, what really

597
00:32:03,360 --> 00:32:06,320
Speaker 1: does that mean? Like what I mean like a year

598
00:32:06,440 --> 00:32:10,440
Speaker 1: eight million, no, no, no, no, six years, one hundred

599
00:32:10,640 --> 00:32:15,200
Speaker 1: twenty million dollars and I believe fifty three million is guaranteed.

600
00:32:15,240 --> 00:32:16,479
Speaker 1: I had it up in front of me, and now

601
00:32:16,480 --> 00:32:19,520
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, I lost it. But one hundred

602
00:32:19,760 --> 00:32:23,680
Speaker 1: twenty million dollars, now that's if he sees the whole

603
00:32:23,760 --> 00:32:28,520
Speaker 1: contract all the way through. But Mark von Miller going

604
00:32:28,640 --> 00:32:32,720
Speaker 1: to Buffalo. I mean, AFC West has been making the moves.

605
00:32:33,200 --> 00:32:36,200
Speaker 1: They're the ones that I mean. The Raiders signed Chandler Jones,

606
00:32:36,640 --> 00:32:40,920
Speaker 1: the Chargers traded for Khalil Mack, the Raiders re upped

607
00:32:41,160 --> 00:32:45,000
Speaker 1: with Max Crosby. All teams, every team and a division

608
00:32:45,360 --> 00:32:49,920
Speaker 1: has got a pair of edge rushers that are just stout.

609
00:32:50,360 --> 00:32:54,479
Speaker 1: Who the Broncos. Who did the Broncos add? Why am

610
00:32:54,480 --> 00:32:57,360
Speaker 1: I John A. Blank? Is Bradley Chubb? And they just

611
00:32:57,520 --> 00:33:02,560
Speaker 1: added somebody yesterday. I'm just tot no, no, no, the Broncos. Oh,

612
00:33:02,680 --> 00:33:06,680
Speaker 1: the Broncos. The Broncos added somebody to go with. I

613
00:33:06,760 --> 00:33:08,680
Speaker 1: can't remember who it is. Either way, point being, the

614
00:33:08,720 --> 00:33:12,520
Speaker 1: AFC West has been cornering the market and all these players,

615
00:33:12,560 --> 00:33:17,000
Speaker 1: and you're like, holy, Randy Gregory, Randy Gregory, that's right,

616
00:33:18,360 --> 00:33:22,560
Speaker 1: And the Bills signed von Miller. Got reaction to see

617
00:33:22,640 --> 00:33:26,720
Speaker 1: von Miller go to Buffalo. All right, Well, look, does

618
00:33:26,840 --> 00:33:30,880
Speaker 1: this enable you to make the stop on Patrick Mahomes

619
00:33:31,160 --> 00:33:35,200
Speaker 1: in the AFC Championship game to get the Covenant stop

620
00:33:35,600 --> 00:33:38,280
Speaker 1: you didn't get at the end of the game. And

621
00:33:38,560 --> 00:33:41,320
Speaker 1: I think that when you're Buffalo, you have to look

622
00:33:41,360 --> 00:33:43,840
Speaker 1: at things like that. Everyone knows you have to go

623
00:33:43,920 --> 00:33:45,960
Speaker 1: through the long haul of the seventeen game schedule and

624
00:33:46,040 --> 00:33:49,520
Speaker 1: get back to the postseason and hopefully get home field advantage.

625
00:33:49,840 --> 00:33:53,960
Speaker 1: But von Miller over time. Here, Look, he's a tremendous player.

626
00:33:53,960 --> 00:33:56,280
Speaker 1: I'm not taking anything away from him. It's interesting to

627
00:33:56,360 --> 00:33:58,920
Speaker 1: me how a player drafted the same year as J. J.

628
00:33:59,160 --> 00:34:03,160
Speaker 1: Watt pull in this kind of money right now, this

629
00:34:03,600 --> 00:34:07,120
Speaker 1: deep into his career. He can do it. Now, let's

630
00:34:07,160 --> 00:34:09,640
Speaker 1: look at the sack numbers and how we like to

631
00:34:10,840 --> 00:34:14,040
Speaker 1: put maybe too much weight in double digit sacks, right

632
00:34:14,520 --> 00:34:18,360
Speaker 1: because he had nine and a half last year. Obviously

633
00:34:18,480 --> 00:34:22,840
Speaker 1: twenty twenty we throw that out, twenty nineteen eight sacks.

634
00:34:23,080 --> 00:34:27,480
Speaker 1: The last time he had double figure sacks was twenty eighteen.

635
00:34:28,280 --> 00:34:31,359
Speaker 1: Players change over time. Is he the same guy? Well,

636
00:34:31,440 --> 00:34:34,640
Speaker 1: in the postseason where it matters, he rises to the occasion.

637
00:34:34,920 --> 00:34:37,520
Speaker 1: So somehow you have to get to that starting lot

638
00:34:37,600 --> 00:34:40,279
Speaker 1: of the playoffs with a healthy von Miller and it

639
00:34:40,320 --> 00:34:42,719
Speaker 1: can mean all the difference in the world. But also

640
00:34:42,880 --> 00:34:45,680
Speaker 1: through the regular season. Johnny, if I'm Buffalo, they're doing

641
00:34:45,760 --> 00:34:49,319
Speaker 1: the right thing. Obviously, you have the Patriots who. I'm

642
00:34:49,360 --> 00:34:51,920
Speaker 1: not saying they're a tremendous threat, but there's still a threat,

643
00:34:52,160 --> 00:34:55,120
Speaker 1: and the Bills almost blew it to them. Right. Remember

644
00:34:55,120 --> 00:34:57,480
Speaker 1: when the Patriots won that game in the wind and

645
00:34:57,560 --> 00:35:00,160
Speaker 1: we were thinking, oh my gosh, is this to be

646
00:35:00,239 --> 00:35:05,680
Speaker 1: the shortest lived dynasty? Handover? You know, changeover? Ever, as

647
00:35:05,719 --> 00:35:08,319
Speaker 1: the Patriots are back and the dynasty I just meant

648
00:35:08,400 --> 00:35:11,360
Speaker 1: relative to the division. Because the Patriots have owned the

649
00:35:11,480 --> 00:35:15,920
Speaker 1: AFC East. I believe that the record in the Belichick

650
00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:19,239
Speaker 1: era of every other AFC East team is still sub

651
00:35:19,320 --> 00:35:22,920
Speaker 1: five hundred, including the Buffalo Bills over time, which is

652
00:35:22,960 --> 00:35:25,279
Speaker 1: amazing to me. And they're doing everything they can to

653
00:35:25,400 --> 00:35:27,000
Speaker 1: change it. So, yeah, they had to make this deal.

654
00:35:27,280 --> 00:35:29,120
Speaker 1: I mean, they had to do something. They had to

655
00:35:29,239 --> 00:35:31,680
Speaker 1: make sure they win that sucker and then when they

656
00:35:31,800 --> 00:35:34,239
Speaker 1: get to the big stage at the end of the year,

657
00:35:34,719 --> 00:35:38,040
Speaker 1: whether it's Joe Burrow or Patrick Mahomes, they got to

658
00:35:38,040 --> 00:35:40,680
Speaker 1: be able to make those stops. You're right, and they've

659
00:35:40,760 --> 00:35:44,160
Speaker 1: realized that as well. Here is a look back, in

660
00:35:44,320 --> 00:35:48,919
Speaker 1: some sense at the Bills drafting twenty twenty second round,

661
00:35:49,040 --> 00:35:54,320
Speaker 1: AJF Banessa twenty twenty one, first round, Gregor Russo twenty

662
00:35:54,680 --> 00:35:59,279
Speaker 1: twenty one second round Boogie Basham. Then they add von

663
00:35:59,400 --> 00:36:03,200
Speaker 1: Miller through free agency, so they knew they had to

664
00:36:03,320 --> 00:36:07,040
Speaker 1: load up on edge rushers in Leslie Fraser's four three,

665
00:36:07,360 --> 00:36:11,240
Speaker 1: They've gotten that guy. They added Oj Howard. They also

666
00:36:11,360 --> 00:36:16,960
Speaker 1: signed Roger Saffold as a guard. My goodness, Adam Schefter

667
00:36:17,480 --> 00:36:21,160
Speaker 1: tweeted six year deal, fifty one and a half million guaranteed,

668
00:36:21,840 --> 00:36:28,880
Speaker 1: including thirty four million dollars fully guaranteed at signing. You

669
00:36:29,080 --> 00:36:32,480
Speaker 1: signed v O n Miller and you get thirty four

670
00:36:32,640 --> 00:36:38,160
Speaker 1: million dollars. My goodness, Mark, he wasn't the only edge rusher.

671
00:36:38,200 --> 00:36:40,040
Speaker 1: I glossed over it when I was talking about the

672
00:36:40,080 --> 00:36:46,080
Speaker 1: AFC West. The Las Vegas Raiders made Chandler Jones a

673
00:36:46,280 --> 00:36:48,840
Speaker 1: rich man. So now if you look at the AFC West,

674
00:36:49,360 --> 00:36:53,120
Speaker 1: a division that we will face this year, Laremy Tutsull

675
00:36:53,200 --> 00:36:57,719
Speaker 1: and Titus Howard will face, presumably all being healthy. The

676
00:36:57,920 --> 00:37:04,280
Speaker 1: Raiders Max Crosby, Chandler Jones, the Broncos Bradley Chubb, Randy Gregory,

677
00:37:04,880 --> 00:37:10,120
Speaker 1: the Chargers Khalil Mack, Joey Bosa, and then the Chiefs

678
00:37:10,480 --> 00:37:13,919
Speaker 1: you're talking about Frank Clark, and I would imagine they're

679
00:37:13,920 --> 00:37:15,800
Speaker 1: going to bring in a young rusher to go with

680
00:37:16,239 --> 00:37:20,759
Speaker 1: Frank Clark as well. So the AFC West, but the

681
00:37:20,800 --> 00:37:26,040
Speaker 1: Bigwood News there's Chandler Jones going from Arizona out to

682
00:37:26,200 --> 00:37:28,640
Speaker 1: Las Vegas, and we will go out to Las Vegas

683
00:37:28,719 --> 00:37:31,919
Speaker 1: this year to play the Raiders and we will face

684
00:37:32,000 --> 00:37:33,719
Speaker 1: Chandler Jones, who we didn't get to see this year

685
00:37:33,760 --> 00:37:37,359
Speaker 1: Marks who were making up for lost time. Jones had

686
00:37:37,440 --> 00:37:41,920
Speaker 1: five sacks against the Titans in the opener, right, so

687
00:37:42,400 --> 00:37:45,560
Speaker 1: basically doubled that the rest of the way throughout, But

688
00:37:45,920 --> 00:37:49,480
Speaker 1: that five sack performance inflated the total number, which I

689
00:37:49,560 --> 00:37:52,200
Speaker 1: find interesting. Another thing I find interesting is the Raiders

690
00:37:52,480 --> 00:37:55,960
Speaker 1: trading Yannik and Goackway to the Colts. Johnny, what were

691
00:37:56,040 --> 00:37:58,640
Speaker 1: your thoughts on that? Because you know here we are

692
00:37:58,960 --> 00:38:02,400
Speaker 1: with you make that deal for Chandler Jones and in Gockway.

693
00:38:02,600 --> 00:38:06,000
Speaker 1: Look in Gockway's not von Miller, right, but he had

694
00:38:06,080 --> 00:38:08,600
Speaker 1: ten sacks. He can get out to the quarterback a

695
00:38:08,640 --> 00:38:12,040
Speaker 1: little bit. They know better than we do. They lived

696
00:38:12,040 --> 00:38:14,160
Speaker 1: with the guy, but they somehow field Chandler Jones at

697
00:38:14,160 --> 00:38:16,560
Speaker 1: that money is going to be more worth it. Yeah,

698
00:38:16,960 --> 00:38:20,560
Speaker 1: And you know Gockway had that great year in twenty seventeen.

699
00:38:20,640 --> 00:38:24,440
Speaker 1: He's never fully gotten back to that point. He doesn't

700
00:38:24,440 --> 00:38:27,440
Speaker 1: play the run exceptionally well. That's been something that's kind

701
00:38:27,440 --> 00:38:30,239
Speaker 1: of hung over his head for a while. But Mark

702
00:38:30,280 --> 00:38:32,120
Speaker 1: the one thing that stuck to me within Gockway going

703
00:38:32,160 --> 00:38:34,160
Speaker 1: to the Colts and he goes to the Colts for Rock.

704
00:38:34,239 --> 00:38:38,160
Speaker 1: You've seen first of all the Colts. I wouldn't tell

705
00:38:38,200 --> 00:38:40,520
Speaker 1: you the perimeter corners for the Colts have played all

706
00:38:40,560 --> 00:38:43,520
Speaker 1: that well. Xavier Rhodes has had some periods. But you've

707
00:38:43,520 --> 00:38:46,720
Speaker 1: seen was early in the second round for the Colts

708
00:38:47,280 --> 00:38:50,840
Speaker 1: and they missed on that one. Where they've also missed.

709
00:38:51,320 --> 00:38:53,520
Speaker 1: It's been on the edge. They have not been able

710
00:38:53,560 --> 00:38:57,000
Speaker 1: to find that guy. Now, Kimiko Ture was supposed to

711
00:38:57,000 --> 00:38:59,799
Speaker 1: be that guy, but he couldn't stay healthy. He got

712
00:38:59,840 --> 00:39:02,480
Speaker 1: her in his second year there and that fell off.

713
00:39:02,520 --> 00:39:07,400
Speaker 1: They drafted bim Banagu from TCU, that hasn't worked. Taekwon

714
00:39:07,520 --> 00:39:09,800
Speaker 1: Lewis was a second rounder back in twenty eighteen. That

715
00:39:10,040 --> 00:39:12,439
Speaker 1: didn't work. They were trying to find as many guys

716
00:39:12,480 --> 00:39:15,200
Speaker 1: that come off the edge. They just couldn't find that

717
00:39:15,480 --> 00:39:19,080
Speaker 1: guy to replace justin Houston. Now Quity Pay could turn

718
00:39:19,160 --> 00:39:21,840
Speaker 1: into that guy. There were kind of fits and starts

719
00:39:21,880 --> 00:39:25,160
Speaker 1: there for Quitty Pay on the edge. But as much

720
00:39:25,239 --> 00:39:28,560
Speaker 1: as Chris Ballard wants to put an emphasis on the edge,

721
00:39:28,960 --> 00:39:31,319
Speaker 1: they have not gotten it right for the most part

722
00:39:31,480 --> 00:39:33,359
Speaker 1: with the guys that they have drafted. Now. I think

723
00:39:33,440 --> 00:39:36,960
Speaker 1: daob Dingo can play from Vanderbilt. He could play, he

724
00:39:37,080 --> 00:39:39,600
Speaker 1: just had to rehab and didn't get back till halfway through.

725
00:39:39,800 --> 00:39:41,440
Speaker 1: He's gonna be the interesting guy off the edge. So

726
00:39:41,600 --> 00:39:43,920
Speaker 1: maybe him and Pay in the long run. But now

727
00:39:43,960 --> 00:39:46,880
Speaker 1: they got Yannick and Goquay who can get to the quarterback.

728
00:39:47,160 --> 00:39:51,799
Speaker 1: Even though he doesn't really fit their overall style, which

729
00:39:51,920 --> 00:39:54,560
Speaker 1: is very violent and physical at the line of scrimmage.

730
00:39:54,680 --> 00:39:56,400
Speaker 1: He wants to run and get after it on the

731
00:39:56,520 --> 00:39:58,360
Speaker 1: edge in the past game, So maybe that's what it

732
00:39:58,440 --> 00:40:00,640
Speaker 1: turns into. You know, a guy that could bow plays

733
00:40:00,640 --> 00:40:03,240
Speaker 1: on the outside, then he bumps inside and he Goquay

734
00:40:03,320 --> 00:40:05,080
Speaker 1: comes on a third down and away you go. I

735
00:40:05,120 --> 00:40:08,080
Speaker 1: don't know the interesting but in Goquay is not Chandler Jones,

736
00:40:08,160 --> 00:40:09,680
Speaker 1: but he is an upgrade for the Colts at that

737
00:40:09,800 --> 00:40:13,399
Speaker 1: edge spot. Isn't he worth more than rock you seen?

738
00:40:13,680 --> 00:40:15,960
Speaker 1: I mean what am I missing here? I'm missing something

739
00:40:16,440 --> 00:40:19,080
Speaker 1: so it doesn't. I mean, you're you're you're getting a

740
00:40:19,080 --> 00:40:22,080
Speaker 1: pass rusher. You're not getting a complete edge player, you

741
00:40:22,120 --> 00:40:23,680
Speaker 1: know what I mean. You're not getting a guy that's

742
00:40:23,680 --> 00:40:26,880
Speaker 1: gonna gonna dominate against the run. You're you know, But

743
00:40:26,960 --> 00:40:29,160
Speaker 1: what am I getting in Rocky Scene if I'm the Raiders,

744
00:40:29,800 --> 00:40:33,319
Speaker 1: it's a fresh start maybe fresh start body, I mean,

745
00:40:33,920 --> 00:40:35,759
Speaker 1: you know, that's what it is. It's kind of a

746
00:40:35,800 --> 00:40:39,160
Speaker 1: fresh start for each guy. And the Raiders need a

747
00:40:39,200 --> 00:40:40,799
Speaker 1: little bit of help out on the edge. They lost

748
00:40:40,840 --> 00:40:44,200
Speaker 1: Brandon face On, who actually signed with the Indianapolis Colts,

749
00:40:44,560 --> 00:40:47,560
Speaker 1: so they needed bodies, and I would imagine and the Raiders.

750
00:40:47,760 --> 00:40:50,120
Speaker 1: The Raiders have blown it drafting corners. You know, they

751
00:40:50,239 --> 00:40:53,440
Speaker 1: drafted Damon Arnette, who's threatened people on Instagram with oozi's

752
00:40:53,719 --> 00:40:55,200
Speaker 1: and they, you know, they lose him. He was a

753
00:40:55,239 --> 00:40:57,880
Speaker 1: first rounder. They have not drafted well at that spot.

754
00:40:58,000 --> 00:41:00,960
Speaker 1: So Rocky Scene gets a fresh art out with the

755
00:41:01,120 --> 00:41:04,520
Speaker 1: Las Vegas Raiders, Yannick and Goackway goes to Indianapolis. Now

756
00:41:04,719 --> 00:41:08,440
Speaker 1: we could be getting a fresh start with overtime in

757
00:41:08,560 --> 00:41:13,520
Speaker 1: the NFL. Two proposals, one proposal from two different teams,

758
00:41:13,640 --> 00:41:17,160
Speaker 1: kind of the same proposal, have been brought up. Mark

772
00:42:01,000 --> 00:42:07,200
Speaker 1: The drive continues, all right, Mark, There are two overtime proposals.

773
00:42:08,480 --> 00:42:12,680
Speaker 1: One came from the Colts and the Eagles. It would

774
00:42:12,680 --> 00:42:15,800
Speaker 1: allow both teams an opportunity to possess the ball in overtime.

775
00:42:16,360 --> 00:42:19,120
Speaker 1: That's the first one. Second one comes from the Tennessee Titans.

776
00:42:20,760 --> 00:42:24,640
Speaker 1: Their proposal would allow both teams the opportunity to possess

777
00:42:24,719 --> 00:42:29,120
Speaker 1: the ball in overtime unless the team with the first

778
00:42:29,480 --> 00:42:35,120
Speaker 1: possession scores a touchdown and a two point Try your

779
00:42:35,320 --> 00:42:40,040
Speaker 1: thoughts about the overtime proposals. I bet that one doesn't

780
00:42:40,080 --> 00:42:43,120
Speaker 1: pass because that's just way too much pressure on these

781
00:42:43,160 --> 00:42:46,600
Speaker 1: coaches to make that decision that takes big stones to

782
00:42:46,760 --> 00:42:49,400
Speaker 1: go ahead and punch it in or try to and

783
00:42:49,680 --> 00:42:52,640
Speaker 1: end the game right there. Now. Might come back to that,

784
00:42:52,680 --> 00:42:54,920
Speaker 1: because you know how I feel about overtime. Just do

785
00:42:55,160 --> 00:42:59,839
Speaker 1: sudden death. You played sixty minutes, it's overtime. Whoever wins when,

786
00:43:00,239 --> 00:43:03,080
Speaker 1: and you go home. You've already played it a football.

787
00:43:03,840 --> 00:43:07,560
Speaker 1: Incentivize these teams to win the game in regulation. Oh

788
00:43:07,600 --> 00:43:11,040
Speaker 1: but Mike, it's not fair, really really, you just played

789
00:43:11,120 --> 00:43:13,560
Speaker 1: sixty minutes. Win the game in regulation, and if you

790
00:43:13,640 --> 00:43:15,919
Speaker 1: go to overtime, you gotta deal with the coin toss

791
00:43:16,120 --> 00:43:19,480
Speaker 1: and make a stop. But anyway, that'll never happen again.

792
00:43:19,760 --> 00:43:22,879
Speaker 1: So I think I want to go back. I want

793
00:43:22,880 --> 00:43:27,800
Speaker 1: to go back to one thing. Okay, twenty when we

794
00:43:28,320 --> 00:43:33,000
Speaker 1: played the Titans and went up eight I'm sorry, went

795
00:43:33,080 --> 00:43:35,520
Speaker 1: up seven, and Romeo decided to go for two to

796
00:43:35,600 --> 00:43:38,479
Speaker 1: put us up two scores. That essentially is what you're saying.

797
00:43:38,520 --> 00:43:40,560
Speaker 1: It was in sentise, So you now two years later

798
00:43:40,600 --> 00:43:43,440
Speaker 1: in agreement with that, is that what you're saying, Well,

799
00:43:43,480 --> 00:43:46,160
Speaker 1: that was in regulation, right, in regulation, but it would

800
00:43:46,200 --> 00:43:49,800
Speaker 1: prevent that was in regulation? Yes, yeah, I mean that

801
00:43:49,800 --> 00:43:51,680
Speaker 1: would have won the game right there, because the Titans

802
00:43:51,760 --> 00:43:53,680
Speaker 1: drove down the field, kick the extra point, and then

803
00:43:53,719 --> 00:43:55,520
Speaker 1: they got the ball first in overtime and they won.

804
00:43:55,840 --> 00:43:57,880
Speaker 1: At that point, I was thinking, boy, it would be

805
00:43:57,960 --> 00:44:00,200
Speaker 1: nice to have an extra possession here, But then you

806
00:44:00,280 --> 00:44:03,640
Speaker 1: just keep playing forever, right, And look, I'm in favor

807
00:44:03,719 --> 00:44:06,399
Speaker 1: of more football, but at some point the game needs

808
00:44:06,440 --> 00:44:10,400
Speaker 1: to end, players safety, whatever. We gotta get to sixty

809
00:44:10,440 --> 00:44:16,440
Speaker 1: minutes whatever, So murder, she wrote, Does anyone remember that? Anyway?

810
00:44:16,920 --> 00:44:20,160
Speaker 1: I think each team will get a possession. That's how

811
00:44:20,200 --> 00:44:22,200
Speaker 1: this will be solved, and we'll move on from there.

812
00:44:22,800 --> 00:44:25,520
Speaker 1: After what happened in the AFC Championship game, they can't

813
00:44:25,520 --> 00:44:27,400
Speaker 1: go there again. Yeah, that's where we're going. I like

814
00:44:27,520 --> 00:44:29,200
Speaker 1: that proposal of the two point version, but that is

815
00:44:29,200 --> 00:44:32,520
Speaker 1: a lot of pressure on the coaches. Man hoholely smokes, Mark,

816
00:44:32,719 --> 00:44:36,400
Speaker 1: appreciate you being on tonight. We'll be back with more tomorrow.

817

Speaker 1: I believe the General will be with us live at

818
00:44:39,320 --> 00:44:41,879
Speaker 1: six o'clock. Maybe there's a deal, maybe there isn't. Maybe

819
00:44:41,880 --> 00:44:43,880
Speaker 1: we'll have a lot to talk about. Maybe we'll rehash

820
00:44:43,960 --> 00:44:46,279
Speaker 1: the day's goings on. A big thanks to Chris Santiago,
