1
00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:00,840
Speaker 1: What's up?

2
00:00:00,840 --> 00:00:01,200
Speaker 2: Everybody?

00:00:01,280 --> 00:00:04,280
Speaker 3: Welcome into a Monday edition of Texans All Access, A

4
00:00:04,400 --> 00:00:09,200
Speaker 3: special one because the Texans Invitational Texans Tournament today was

5
00:00:09,240 --> 00:00:11,959
Speaker 3: a great day. You know, my man Mark Vandermiirer was

6
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:13,760
Speaker 3: out on the links hitting him and I know he

7
00:00:13,840 --> 00:00:14,760
Speaker 3: hit him pretty well.

8
00:00:14,880 --> 00:00:16,599
Speaker 2: So it's a big day for the Texans. Appreciate you

9
00:00:16,640 --> 00:00:17,200
Speaker 2: guys being here on.

10
00:00:17,320 --> 00:00:21,119
Speaker 3: John Harris, your host for this evening, Mark, I know

11
00:00:21,239 --> 00:00:23,439
Speaker 3: all of us Houstonians got kicked into teeth last night,

12
00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:23,880
Speaker 3: but how.

13
00:00:23,720 --> 00:00:25,440
Speaker 2: You feeling well?

14
00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:29,440
Speaker 4: First, you mentioned the Texans Charity Classic presented by BMW,

15
00:00:29,600 --> 00:00:32,839
Speaker 4: and I got to say that I've played him in

16
00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:36,080
Speaker 4: all of them, Johnny, And this started back in two

17
00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:40,680
Speaker 4: thousand and three. My goodness, but they've raised This was

18
00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:43,600
Speaker 4: a record. They raised over five hundred and fifty thousand

19
00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:46,440
Speaker 4: dollars for the Houston Texans Foundation in this year's tournament,

20
00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:50,159
Speaker 4: and since the inception, they've raised over fifty million for

21
00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:51,440
Speaker 4: the Houston Texans Foundation.

22
00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:55,520
Speaker 1: So it is awesome. I mean, in general, it is awesome.

23
00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:56,040
Speaker 1: This is there.

24
00:00:56,320 --> 00:00:58,960
Speaker 4: I don't know if this is the biggest fundraiser I

25
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:01,880
Speaker 4: no season premiere, what used to be the kickoff lunch

26
00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:04,960
Speaker 4: generates a lot as well, but it's just huge, and

27
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:07,360
Speaker 4: you know, huge in the flag football for girls and

28
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:08,720
Speaker 4: all that right now.

29
00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:10,240
Speaker 1: And other things that the foundation does.

30
00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:12,720
Speaker 4: That's not the only thing, but it's just great to

31
00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:14,480
Speaker 4: be involved in it and see everybody out there.

32
00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:15,679
Speaker 1: So that's cool.

33
00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:18,920
Speaker 4: And what else is cool is you know, I was

34
00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:21,800
Speaker 4: in the building this morning and they're doing a little

35
00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:24,600
Speaker 4: bit more every week, aren't they. In this ramp up

36
00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:28,760
Speaker 4: period off season conditioning. OTAs will be out there before

37
00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:31,520
Speaker 4: you know it. Can't wait to report on some things

38
00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:34,640
Speaker 4: we see. Nothing strategic, of course, but man, I'm so

39
00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:37,200
Speaker 4: fired up because you could just feel it in the building,

40
00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:40,399
Speaker 4: and I wish everybody could experience this. You feel it

41
00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:43,039
Speaker 4: in the building that it's coming, the season's coming. I

42
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:45,640
Speaker 4: mean they're here, they're working out, they're doing their stuff,

43
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:47,760
Speaker 4: and we're not getting to see a lot of that,

44
00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:50,360
Speaker 4: and by a lot, I mean any of it, but

45
00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:52,240
Speaker 4: we will at some point, so that'll be cool.

46
00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:55,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, Yeah, it definitely will be cool. It's I'm trying

47
00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:56,560
Speaker 2: to do the math.

48
00:01:56,720 --> 00:02:01,800
Speaker 3: It's May fifth today, O Sinko to Mayo, Happy sinking

49
00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:06,840
Speaker 3: to my everybody, to those who celebrate so June July,

50
00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:10,799
Speaker 3: you're talking two months and you're into July, and then

51
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:12,920
Speaker 3: god knows when we're gonna start when.

52
00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:14,640
Speaker 2: Now we're not going to Hall of Fame game. I

53
00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:15,240
Speaker 2: saw that.

54
00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:17,360
Speaker 3: I saw the two teams that are in the Hall

55
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:19,240
Speaker 3: of Fame game. I want to say the Chargers are

56
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:19,640
Speaker 3: one of them.

57
00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:21,800
Speaker 2: We're not. And that's the most important thing.

58
00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:24,600
Speaker 3: Just as far as timing goes, we won't be starting

59
00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:28,280
Speaker 3: ten days before everybody else as we did last year.

60
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:31,520
Speaker 3: I think we started July seventeenth last year. So let's

61
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:36,480
Speaker 3: say it's the twenty fifth ish, talking about two months

62
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:39,640
Speaker 3: and twenty days, you know, eighty some days. That's not

63
00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:41,840
Speaker 3: that much to get to the start of training camp. Man,

64
00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:44,880
Speaker 3: So that's I mean, it's I don't want to say

65
00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:48,000
Speaker 3: it's almost here, but two months and twenty days gets

66
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:50,680
Speaker 3: here pretty quickly before you know it. And of course

67
00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:53,960
Speaker 3: we've got OTA's and mini camps coming up that'll satiate

68
00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:57,160
Speaker 3: us all. We'll have our Texas Media Day at some point,

69
00:02:57,200 --> 00:02:59,639
Speaker 3: hopefully in June, which we'll have a lot of content

70
00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:01,920
Speaker 3: comfort and then it's a desert for a few weeks,

71
00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:03,919
Speaker 3: and then before you know it, we're in training camp

72
00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:05,960
Speaker 3: and we're often running on the twenty twenty five season

73
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:07,080
Speaker 3: and this sucker's going.

74
00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:09,240
Speaker 1: Yeah. Two things about that.

75
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:11,639
Speaker 4: First of all, Hall of Fame game is Detroit and

76
00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:15,720
Speaker 4: the Chargers. Yes, and this is good because the Texans

77
00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:18,160
Speaker 4: play the Chargers, and you want them to be all

78
00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:19,960
Speaker 4: worn out by the Hall of Fame game by the

79
00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:22,400
Speaker 4: time you see them whenever. That is yeah, because I

80
00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:24,560
Speaker 4: do think that there's a wear and tear effect that

81
00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:28,440
Speaker 4: the team endured last year based on starting camp early.

82
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:30,680
Speaker 4: We've talked about that many times, especially since you went

83
00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:34,320
Speaker 4: thirteen consecutive weeks without a buye and it just got

84
00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:37,240
Speaker 4: to be you know, every team goes through it, the injuries,

85
00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:40,240
Speaker 4: limping along, and you know, it's funny when another team

86
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:43,840
Speaker 4: loses a guy you don't, I mean you think something

87
00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:47,560
Speaker 4: of it, yet you're not living with them and through them,

88
00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:50,200
Speaker 4: and it's not your team. But when we suffer any

89
00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:53,440
Speaker 4: kind of injury, and it's usually not just one and

90
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:55,400
Speaker 4: it could be to any kind of player, you're thinking, oh,

91
00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:57,120
Speaker 4: now you got to go this and you know you

92
00:03:57,200 --> 00:03:59,240
Speaker 4: and I know all the little nuances of what it

93
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:01,640
Speaker 4: effects special teams wise, and now this guy's got to

94
00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:03,680
Speaker 4: be a gunner. Because of that, it doesn't have to

95
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:06,640
Speaker 4: be a major player in order to have an effect

96
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:07,560
Speaker 4: on your team.

97
00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:07,960
Speaker 1: Anyway.

98
00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:11,040
Speaker 4: The other thing about this is and you reciting things

99
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:14,280
Speaker 4: about the calendar and where we're headed here with the

100
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:15,400
Speaker 4: Rockets losing.

101
00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:20,000
Speaker 1: For the sports fan in Houston, it's oh, okay, okay,

102
00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:22,559
Speaker 1: what do I gotta know? I got the astros. Okay,

103
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:24,920
Speaker 1: look that I.

104
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:26,920
Speaker 4: Looked at the standings in Major League Baseball. I don't

105
00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:28,600
Speaker 4: do this every day. I used to do it every day,

106
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:29,840
Speaker 4: but I don't do it every day. And I'm thinking,

107
00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:32,560
Speaker 4: all right, they're you know, five hundred ish, they're right

108
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:35,040
Speaker 4: in there. You know they have a chance if they

109
00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:37,320
Speaker 4: start playing really well to do something. But you know,

110
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:39,280
Speaker 4: just be in the mix and see what you can do.

111
00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:43,880
Speaker 4: Their division does not look insurmountable. A lot of divisions

112
00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:46,880
Speaker 4: don't look insurmountable in Major League Baseball.

113
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:50,279
Speaker 1: But the point is this, we're ready for football now.

114
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:50,600
Speaker 1: You know.

115
00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:53,600
Speaker 4: It was great paying attention to the NBA playoffs, and

116
00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:56,040
Speaker 4: I still will. I love basketball and I love the playoffs.

117
00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:58,480
Speaker 4: But to have the Rockets out of it, the Houston

118
00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:01,080
Speaker 4: sports fans like, let's go, oh, come on, training camp,

119
00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:01,720
Speaker 4: let's have it.

120
00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:08,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, no doubt, So let's discuss because I know a

121
00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:10,320
Speaker 3: lot of people like, well, you guys are Texans. No,

122
00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:14,400
Speaker 3: we both had we both had radio shows in the

123
00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:17,279
Speaker 3: city of Houston in which we were full time radio

124
00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:19,040
Speaker 3: hosts and we had to talk about all the sports.

125
00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:21,039
Speaker 3: And we've been around here long enough and people that

126
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:23,160
Speaker 3: know us know that we are sports fans and we're

127
00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:26,840
Speaker 3: definitely fans of Houstonian teams. So I'm gonna make this

128
00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:30,719
Speaker 3: question as easy and yet as difficult as possible. Your

129
00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:34,840
Speaker 3: thoughts of what you saw last night, Well, I think there.

130
00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:37,680
Speaker 4: Are a lot of Texans comparisons and analogies here, and

131
00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:40,680
Speaker 4: unfortunately for the Rockets. You know, the Texans were able

132
00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:43,760
Speaker 4: under Jamico Ryans to get to the second round in

133
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:46,440
Speaker 4: their sport. Each of these sports has four rounds, right,

134
00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:48,679
Speaker 4: and I know with the top seed in the NFL

135
00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:49,200
Speaker 4: you get to buy.

136
00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:51,640
Speaker 1: But you know what I'm saying here, so you're able

137
00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:52,040
Speaker 1: to get to.

138
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:54,520
Speaker 4: That divisional round of the NFL, and the Rockets weren't

139
00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:58,080
Speaker 4: able to get to the Conference semis, which I thought

140
00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:01,799
Speaker 4: was I'm not going to say minimal for them because

141
00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:02,359
Speaker 4: it's hard.

142
00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:04,760
Speaker 1: We see it. It's hard, and we'll go through this.

143
00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:07,560
Speaker 4: But there are a lot of different analogies and comparisons,

144
00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:10,920
Speaker 4: and we'll go through some of them, but by and large,

145
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:12,640
Speaker 4: you know, I'm watching Game seven last night and I

146
00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:15,760
Speaker 4: thought one thing, it's too bad for the Rockets that

147
00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:17,839
Speaker 4: and I know they were the two seed and Golden

148
00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:20,080
Speaker 4: State had to go through a playoff, but it's still

149
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:22,120
Speaker 4: Golden State. I'm sitting there watching the game in the

150
00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:24,440
Speaker 4: fourth quarter, I'm thinking, you know what they have on

151
00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:26,760
Speaker 4: Golden State's team. They still have one of the greatest

152
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:29,640
Speaker 4: players to ever play this game. And he's sitting there

153
00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:33,839
Speaker 4: making plays, not sitting. He doesn't sit, he plays. And

154
00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:36,640
Speaker 4: one thing that jumped out to me was this is

155
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:39,800
Speaker 4: the team with three pointers galore and all that other stuff.

156
00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:44,320
Speaker 4: And they really mega popularized the three in a way

157
00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:46,640
Speaker 4: that you know, we'd never seen before in the teams.

158
00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:50,479
Speaker 4: But in the fourth quarter when they needed something done,

159
00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:52,839
Speaker 4: you know, they needed first downs to put a football

160
00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:55,159
Speaker 4: analogy on it, they needed to move the ball.

161
00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:57,400
Speaker 1: They he went to the basket.

162
00:06:57,560 --> 00:07:00,760
Speaker 4: You know, oh, you're gonna wrestle me and disable my

163
00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:03,039
Speaker 4: ability to shoot the three. I'm going right to the

164
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:04,480
Speaker 4: rack and blow him by. You him going to the rack,

165
00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:06,360
Speaker 4: he had two or three layups that were really key.

166
00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:09,720
Speaker 4: When they needed to keep that scoreboard total going, they

167
00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:11,920
Speaker 4: needed to up the eddy, you know, just get more points.

168
00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:13,360
Speaker 1: Anything helps here.

169
00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:16,240
Speaker 4: They knew that, and I thought, you know, with all

170
00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:19,240
Speaker 4: the talk about analytics and the threes and everything when

171
00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:21,960
Speaker 4: Toronto won the title. Remember when Toronto won the title,

172
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:25,120
Speaker 4: I thought, hmm, you're using some mid range here because

173
00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:27,360
Speaker 4: they know, like sometimes you just need to score.

174
00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:29,840
Speaker 1: You just need a bucket. It doesn't matter if it's

175
00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:30,560
Speaker 1: a three or a two.

176
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:33,200
Speaker 4: Screw the analytics at that point, because you got to

177
00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:36,120
Speaker 4: be able to just get the ball in the basket

178
00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:39,160
Speaker 4: and answer whatever threat you're receiving on the other end.

179
00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:41,240
Speaker 4: So I thought Golden State did that really well. And

180
00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:44,240
Speaker 4: the Rockets, you know what the football equivalent is for them,

181
00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:46,840
Speaker 4: they don't have a quarterback. They just you know, Van

182
00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:50,600
Speaker 4: Vliet great, but they disabled him last night.

183
00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:52,040
Speaker 1: They just got to him last night.

184
00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:54,840
Speaker 4: And when I say great, I know it's been hot

185
00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:57,200
Speaker 4: and cold in this series and at times good in

186
00:07:57,240 --> 00:07:58,520
Speaker 4: times not where you want it to be.

187
00:07:58,840 --> 00:07:59,880
Speaker 1: They don't have the quarterback.

188
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:03,480
Speaker 4: They don't have the guy, and you need the guy,

189
00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:05,880
Speaker 4: even if the guy, you know, is not like CJ.

190
00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:08,640
Speaker 4: Stroud He's not a top three guy in the league

191
00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:10,600
Speaker 4: yet and we want him to be.

192
00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:12,400
Speaker 1: But he's your guy.

193
00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:15,360
Speaker 4: And what happened last year in the playoffs when you

194
00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:17,559
Speaker 4: needed to make a play, he made a play.

195
00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:19,120
Speaker 1: He made two huge plays.

196
00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:20,760
Speaker 4: He had to play to x and the one we

197
00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:22,960
Speaker 4: talk about where he ran it in a field goal range,

198
00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:25,600
Speaker 4: and those two scores late in the first half really

199
00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:28,800
Speaker 4: took that game to a different place for the Texans,

200
00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:32,199
Speaker 4: and I thought, that's what the Rockets are lacking. Somebody

201
00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:34,240
Speaker 4: just kind of take over when you need it, when

202
00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:34,800
Speaker 4: you need him to.

203
00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:36,640
Speaker 1: It's a five on five game. You have to have that,

204
00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:37,240
Speaker 1: don't you think.

205
00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:39,840
Speaker 2: I thought there were Yeah, you're dead on that.

206
00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:44,400
Speaker 3: I feel like that's lacking, Like, hey, guys, we need

207
00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:46,480
Speaker 3: a basket immediately.

208
00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:48,319
Speaker 2: Who gets the ball? Now?

209
00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:52,080
Speaker 3: Look, I think Aman Thompson's on his way to being

210
00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:55,440
Speaker 3: one of the most exciting players in this league on

211
00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:57,880
Speaker 3: a lot of different levels. But his offensive game is

212
00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:03,080
Speaker 3: still I say dementary, but it's not not where it

213
00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:05,240
Speaker 3: needs to be to be that guy you're talking about.

214
00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:07,640
Speaker 3: I thought it was really frustrating for a team that

215
00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:10,560
Speaker 3: could be so good defensively to have given up so

216
00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:14,160
Speaker 3: many layups to Butler and to Steph Curry last night

217
00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:16,760
Speaker 3: it was maddening. I mean, I think Steph had four

218
00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:20,000
Speaker 3: or five layups in the second half, and like, wait

219
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:22,040
Speaker 3: a second, it was almost like they got to a

220
00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:24,920
Speaker 3: point on the floor, like they were really all over

221
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:26,920
Speaker 3: him out by the three point range, and then it

222
00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:28,800
Speaker 3: was like when he went inside the arc, they all

223
00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:33,559
Speaker 3: just went okay, like almost stopped. And I'm watching the think, wa,

224
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:36,079
Speaker 3: wait a second, No, they should be beating him up

225
00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:39,600
Speaker 3: like bad Boys Piston style when that dude goes inside.

226
00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:41,520
Speaker 2: And look, I know Steph is put together more than

227
00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:43,280
Speaker 2: people know. And CJ. It's funny.

228
00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:46,160
Speaker 3: CJ mentioned that when he was questioning about going to

229
00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:48,840
Speaker 3: Game one and he talking about how he talked to

230
00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:51,400
Speaker 3: Steph after the game, like he knows Steph. They had

231
00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:54,280
Speaker 3: a long conversation when they first met, and so he's like, man,

232
00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:57,040
Speaker 3: steps swollen and he's a big guy, but still you

233
00:09:57,080 --> 00:09:59,680
Speaker 3: gotta you gotta pound him in a submission, like you

234
00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:02,360
Speaker 3: gotta him not want to go in there. But the

235
00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:06,000
Speaker 3: other aspect of it, too, for me, goes back to

236
00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:07,520
Speaker 3: something I learned a long long time ago.

237
00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:08,240
Speaker 2: I was ten years old.

238
00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:10,800
Speaker 3: Never forget I was ten years old, my dad was

239
00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:12,440
Speaker 3: coaching basketball.

240
00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:16,760
Speaker 2: And I remember them saying there was a game and.

241
00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:18,000
Speaker 3: I was kind of I was on the bench with

242
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:21,319
Speaker 3: my dad and this kid just was going off. Their

243
00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:24,160
Speaker 3: best player is just he'd making a bucket here, bucket there.

244
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:27,040
Speaker 2: And I kind of was like, why is he scoring

245
00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:27,520
Speaker 2: so much?

246
00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:27,640
Speaker 1: Like?

247
00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:30,319
Speaker 3: I got really mad, and I remember my dad saying,

248
00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:33,960
Speaker 3: what we want him to and I was like, what

249
00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:34,319
Speaker 3: do you mean.

250
00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:35,200
Speaker 2: I'll tell you later.

251
00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:37,000
Speaker 3: Well, we end up winning the game, and I didn't

252
00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:38,920
Speaker 3: understand it as a kid, I was like, what's going.

253
00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:39,200
Speaker 2: On, daddy?

254
00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:42,440
Speaker 3: Was We didn't mind that such and such hurt us.

255
00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:47,920
Speaker 3: We didn't want everybody else to hurt us. And let

256
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:52,560
Speaker 3: Steph get fifty. I don't give a damn what he gets. Buddy,

257
00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:55,760
Speaker 3: hell can't go for thirty three. They're in no way,

258
00:10:55,880 --> 00:10:58,839
Speaker 3: shape or form, can Buddy. He'll go for thirty three

259
00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:01,600
Speaker 3: against you in a game set situation. And he shot

260
00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:03,720
Speaker 3: the lights out, Don't don't get me wrong. Like I

261
00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:06,160
Speaker 3: knew the Rockets were in trouble when it was twenty

262
00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:08,600
Speaker 3: to nineteen. There's four seconds left and he launches one

263
00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:12,040
Speaker 3: from about forty and rips it, and I thought, oh boy,

264
00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:13,959
Speaker 3: this is not good.

265
00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:16,600
Speaker 2: But that thought of.

266
00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:19,320
Speaker 3: Let the star be a star, Let the star get his,

267
00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:24,079
Speaker 3: But man, you shut everybody else down. Let Jordan get

268
00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:27,960
Speaker 3: forty five, but Scottie Pippen and Horace Grant aren't gonna

269
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:28,880
Speaker 3: add six.

270
00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:30,600
Speaker 2: You're gonna win that game.

271
00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:33,319
Speaker 3: And it wasn't until Jordan figured it out, like, hey,

272
00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:35,680
Speaker 3: they all got to have twelve to fifteen. At least

273
00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:37,720
Speaker 3: I'll get mine, But they gotta have twelve to fifteen

274
00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:40,280
Speaker 3: each if we're gonna win. That's when the ball start

275
00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:42,400
Speaker 3: turning the corner. Last night, if you were to let

276
00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:47,480
Speaker 3: Steph get forty and Heal gets you know, five, you're

277
00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:48,280
Speaker 3: much better shape.

278
00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:49,719
Speaker 2: And look, I know he's a catching shoot guy.

279
00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:51,680
Speaker 3: I get all that, you know, but it just felt

280
00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:54,080
Speaker 3: like they were chasing their own tail all night long.

281
00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:56,400
Speaker 3: And does that come about because they don't have a

282
00:11:56,440 --> 00:11:59,640
Speaker 3: lot of experience in the playoffs, Maybe that the guys

283
00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:03,480
Speaker 3: they expected to step up Shanoon and Jalen didn't.

284
00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:03,920
Speaker 2: Really.

285
00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:07,920
Speaker 3: They missed so many layups, I mean the number of

286
00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:10,320
Speaker 3: times that miss layps, A number of times they'd missed

287
00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:14,400
Speaker 3: an easy layup on a foul and one yep potential

288
00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:16,959
Speaker 3: for three points and they'd missed two free throws and

289
00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:18,760
Speaker 3: didn't get anything out of that possession.

290
00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:22,880
Speaker 2: It was maddening from.

291
00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:25,560
Speaker 3: That perspective to go kind of through that sort of

292
00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:29,600
Speaker 3: situation watching that game last night. So the Rockets lose,

293
00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:31,520
Speaker 3: and now we're talking about and I'm sure they're going

294
00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:35,400
Speaker 3: to be talking about Durant Booker, Are they making a trade?

295
00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:37,640
Speaker 3: Is this team good enough? Who do they have to move?

296
00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:39,200
Speaker 3: Why didn't Jalen Green play?

297
00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:40,600
Speaker 2: Well? It's like, oh, I did not want to wake

298
00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:42,360
Speaker 2: up Monday, especially after game Friday night.

299
00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:45,520
Speaker 3: Friday night was as fun a game watching the Rockets

300
00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:47,360
Speaker 3: as I've had in years, and I'm sure a lot

301
00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:49,320
Speaker 3: of Rockets can say that.

302
00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:49,880
Speaker 2: That was awesome.

303
00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:53,320
Speaker 3: And I just remembered it's still game seven back in

304
00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:56,400
Speaker 3: Houston and Golden State's already beating them there before with

305
00:12:57,200 --> 00:13:02,080
Speaker 3: this crew, relatively speaking, Stephan Draymond in particular, I thought,

306
00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:04,079
Speaker 3: I just don't feel comfortable, and then when he hit

307
00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:05,839
Speaker 3: that three at the end of the first quarter, I thought,

308
00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:08,200
Speaker 3: this is going about the way that I thought it

309
00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:08,680
Speaker 3: was going to.

310
00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:11,560
Speaker 4: You know, if you're not a Golden State fan, you

311
00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:15,079
Speaker 4: probably don't like Draymond Green. Who likes Draymond Green, who's

312
00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:19,199
Speaker 4: not a Golden State fan, But I respect the daylights

313
00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:21,760
Speaker 4: out of Draymond Green for what he is.

314
00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:22,800
Speaker 1: Now, he's a hothead.

315
00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:25,520
Speaker 4: We all know this. When he gets inside the lines.

316
00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:27,800
Speaker 4: It's funny because I was thinking this. I was thinking,

317
00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:31,040
Speaker 4: you know, certain guys and I'm not comparing his ease

318
00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:33,920
Speaker 4: al Shire to Draymond Green, but there's a similarity here

319
00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:37,880
Speaker 4: in that yeh, when they're between the lines, things sometimes

320
00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:40,600
Speaker 4: happened where you're like, no, no, no, no, no, don't do that.

321
00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:45,080
Speaker 1: Right with Raymond, you know the Golden State people.

322
00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:47,920
Speaker 4: There was one instance in the game last night where

323
00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:50,280
Speaker 4: a butler was on the floor.

324
00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:51,520
Speaker 1: A couple of guys are on the floor.

325
00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:53,960
Speaker 4: Draymond wasn't in this, and legs were getting tangled and

326
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:56,360
Speaker 4: they called the foul on Steph because he pulled he

327
00:13:56,360 --> 00:13:57,360
Speaker 4: pulled somebody down.

328
00:13:57,480 --> 00:13:58,320
Speaker 1: It looked like he did.

329
00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:01,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, And I thought, oh, if Raymond Green is in that,

330
00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:05,560
Speaker 4: there are legs flying and people getting kicked perhaps and

331
00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:10,360
Speaker 4: he might be gone. He might be gone now, who knows.

332
00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:12,839
Speaker 4: But I just think that certain guys have that I

333
00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:16,920
Speaker 4: don't know, there's a wire and they just go nuts.

334
00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:19,920
Speaker 4: And but it can be very good that edge is

335
00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:22,360
Speaker 4: very good for your team. He's this is a multi

336
00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:27,000
Speaker 4: champion player, and you could argue that he's as important

337
00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:31,760
Speaker 4: to their legacy as any of the other players, as

338
00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:36,200
Speaker 4: Steph as Klay Thompson was. You could argue Draymond Green

339
00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:40,400
Speaker 4: is as important as those guys because he's the enforcer, yes,

340
00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:44,080
Speaker 4: but he's also the steadying force in a way out

341
00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:46,640
Speaker 4: there for them. I think, you know, he's a very

342
00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:49,080
Speaker 4: important part of a championship team. And I was like,

343
00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:52,000
Speaker 4: you know it, just that part of it reminds me

344
00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:55,120
Speaker 4: of his ease. Though he's so good and maybe other

345
00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:57,840
Speaker 4: teams don't like him and other fan bases don't like him,

346
00:14:57,840 --> 00:15:00,760
Speaker 4: but he's great for your team, and you know.

347
00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:02,200
Speaker 1: He might be a great guy behind the scenes. I

348
00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:03,280
Speaker 1: don't know if Draymond is or not.

349
00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:05,200
Speaker 4: He said nice things about the Rockets last night in

350
00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:07,320
Speaker 4: the post game, Seawan and Seth played a cut this morning.

351
00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:09,840
Speaker 4: I thought, oh, he's very complimentary of the Rockets, especially

352
00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:12,360
Speaker 4: Jabari Smith, who I agree should have played more in

353
00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:16,000
Speaker 4: this series. But it's fun to compare the sports sometimes

354
00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:18,640
Speaker 4: and the development because the Texans are where they are,

355
00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:22,040
Speaker 4: young team on the rise. Rockets, Hey, they had a

356
00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:24,320
Speaker 4: hell of a regular season. I mean they beat the

357
00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:27,600
Speaker 4: beat the doors off a lot of teams this year

358
00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:29,600
Speaker 4: ended up as a two seed. I know it was close,

359
00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:32,320
Speaker 4: but they ended up as a two seed. Awesome, great

360
00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:36,880
Speaker 4: step forward, bad playoff draw, I think for them because

361
00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:40,960
Speaker 4: they got a veteran bunch that responded at the moment

362
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:43,040
Speaker 4: of truth and I felt like you did, Johnny. After

363
00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:45,160
Speaker 4: Friday night, I was like, how are they gonna lose?

364
00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:47,480
Speaker 4: I mean, they got it all go over themselves. Now,

365
00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:50,200
Speaker 4: Golden State's gotta feel like they totally blew this game.

366
00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:53,560
Speaker 4: And remember they're the ones, well I know it's different people,

367
00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:55,760
Speaker 4: but some are the same who blew the series to

368
00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:59,160
Speaker 4: Lebron back in the day in what was that twenty

369
00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:01,120
Speaker 4: sixteen sixteen?

370
00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:03,480
Speaker 1: I think sixteen, yeah, because that's.

371
00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:08,240
Speaker 4: When we got brock because I remember, I remember I

372
00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:09,960
Speaker 4: was literally at the Golden Nugget.

373
00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:12,360
Speaker 1: I was at the Golden Nugget.

374
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:19,000
Speaker 4: For the Lebron block right that game, and and Wade Phillips,

375
00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:23,040
Speaker 4: Wade and Laurie were there and had dinner with them

376
00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:25,920
Speaker 4: just like it was well, actually it's post dinner. We

377
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:29,720
Speaker 4: just sat together and just talked for two hours because

378
00:16:29,760 --> 00:16:31,000
Speaker 4: they had just won the Super Bowl.

379
00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:31,800
Speaker 1: Waited just won the.

380
00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:33,640
Speaker 2: Super right, yeah yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.

381
00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:36,680
Speaker 4: So I said, I forget I forgive you, Coach Phillips,

382
00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:41,400
Speaker 4: I forgive you winning the Super Bowl. Rock aggravating super

383
00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:44,720
Speaker 4: Bowl when I ever witnessed. I'm like, wait a minute, those.

384
00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:45,560
Speaker 2: Are all our guys.

385
00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:49,480
Speaker 4: They are literally winning the Super Bowl with our guys

386
00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:51,920
Speaker 4: and the formula that we could have should have won

387
00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:54,480
Speaker 4: it with where you're not putting too much on the quarterback,

388
00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:58,080
Speaker 4: you're just running the football and played outstanding defense, just

389
00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:01,560
Speaker 4: totally disruptive defense. But you know what, we can play

390
00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:03,640
Speaker 4: that formula right now. I mean we got the chops

391
00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:06,040
Speaker 4: to do that right now with this defense, yep. And

392
00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:08,840
Speaker 4: if we can run the football, we can go deep

393
00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:12,360
Speaker 4: because CJ is CJ. You give CJ toime, you give

394
00:17:12,359 --> 00:17:16,640
Speaker 4: CJ a great running game, productive running game. In the postseason,

395
00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:17,720
Speaker 4: let's go.

396
00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:19,879
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's gonna it's gonna be fun.

397
00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:24,600
Speaker 3: This Rockets offseason is gonna be really really interesting, and

398
00:17:24,840 --> 00:17:28,480
Speaker 3: it's there's been so many parallels to the Texans and

399
00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:34,800
Speaker 3: the Rockets in so many ways, shapes and forms, and

400
00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:39,760
Speaker 3: this feels like that offseason, like ours going into twenty four,

401
00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:42,399
Speaker 3: where we signed a Zase. We went out and got

402
00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:45,119
Speaker 3: Daniel Hunter, traded for Stefan Diggs, trade for Joe Maxon.

403
00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:48,560
Speaker 3: This feels like it could be that offseason for the

404
00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:53,920
Speaker 3: Rockets that they've got some foundational pieces in one in particular,

405
00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:55,000
Speaker 3: I think Ama Thompson.

406
00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:57,480
Speaker 2: But do they need a score to any of a

407
00:17:57,560 --> 00:17:58,200
Speaker 2: bucket getter?

408
00:17:58,720 --> 00:17:58,840
Speaker 1: Uh?

409
00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:01,480
Speaker 3: If so, who is it? And if it's Devin Booker,

410
00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:02,840
Speaker 3: how much they have to give up? You know, they

411
00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:04,879
Speaker 3: got all these draft picks. You know, maybe they end

412
00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:06,520
Speaker 3: up getting lucky again with the lottery.

413
00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:06,840
Speaker 2: Maybe not.

414
00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:09,240
Speaker 3: I mean they've got the suns amount of ping pong balls,

415
00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:11,360
Speaker 3: and so you know, there's no telling what they can

416
00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:14,760
Speaker 3: come up with, you know, from that and build. You know,

417
00:18:14,760 --> 00:18:16,479
Speaker 3: what does Reached Shepherd do next year? All that kind

418
00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:20,399
Speaker 3: of stuff. It makes for a really interesting offseason, you

419
00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:21,119
Speaker 3: know for the Rockets.

420
00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:22,040
Speaker 2: And here's the other thing.

421
00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:25,199
Speaker 3: The Rockets are no longer gonna be that oh that

422
00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:28,000
Speaker 3: nice little plucky story. Now everybody's gonna gear up and say, oh,

423
00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:29,240
Speaker 3: we're playing the Rockets.

424
00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:31,080
Speaker 2: We got to have our stuff together.

425
00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:34,439
Speaker 3: But in a sense for the Rockets facing the Warriors

426
00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:36,520
Speaker 3: in its first round, I mean, I'm not gonna sit

427
00:18:36,560 --> 00:18:37,399
Speaker 3: here and tell you it's unfair.

428
00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:38,159
Speaker 2: Nothing's unfair.

429
00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:41,600
Speaker 3: But that's the best seven seed I've ever seen. You know,

430
00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:44,080
Speaker 3: if they get any other team, they probably are moving on.

431
00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:46,560
Speaker 3: But they get the Warriors, a team that adds Jimmy

432
00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:50,000
Speaker 3: Butler that was really really good defensively after they added

433
00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:53,720
Speaker 3: Jimmy Butler and they had everybody relatively healthy. In this series,

434
00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:56,080
Speaker 3: the Rockets did too, for the most part that I

435
00:18:56,119 --> 00:18:59,800
Speaker 3: know of. It's just unfortunate that that team continues to

436
00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:03,080
Speaker 3: just jamb into the side of the Rockets in the

437
00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:03,920
Speaker 3: city of Houston.

438
00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:05,400
Speaker 1: How about this, Johnny.

439
00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:08,680
Speaker 4: They went through everything they went through with the Warriors,

440
00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:11,160
Speaker 4: the Rockets did and Harden and it feels like ten

441
00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:13,679
Speaker 4: years ago and it wasn't right, but it feels like

442
00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:15,600
Speaker 4: so long ago where they could have would have should

443
00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:18,639
Speaker 4: have beat the Warriors and Chris Paul and Hamstring and

444
00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:22,439
Speaker 4: all that stuff. Rockets go through a complete astros like

445
00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:27,200
Speaker 4: bottoming out period, I mean, just subterranean, and now here

446
00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:29,680
Speaker 4: they come back up again and the Warriors are still here,

447
00:19:30,119 --> 00:19:35,440
Speaker 4: y know, I think in the docuseries, and there will

448
00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:38,000
Speaker 4: eventually be one if there's not one already on the Warriors.

449
00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:40,880
Speaker 1: This era will be like and they had a nice.

450
00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:43,199
Speaker 4: Little couple of flashes in the playoffs and they won

451
00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:46,879
Speaker 4: against it. Like, I think they're out now, probably, but

452
00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:51,960
Speaker 4: it's it's still notable. How you have you know, two

453
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:54,640
Speaker 4: of the big three, of their Big three still around

454
00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:56,600
Speaker 4: and they're still making noise. But don't you agree with

455
00:19:56,640 --> 00:19:58,760
Speaker 4: me in their docu series, I think they're done winning

456
00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:01,399
Speaker 4: championships now. Maybe I'm totally wrong because Draymond bra did

457
00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:02,800
Speaker 4: it at the All Star Game that they would win,

458
00:20:02,840 --> 00:20:05,960
Speaker 4: and maybe they do. But to me, this is like,

459
00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:08,119
Speaker 4: oh yeah, and that's the end of that era and

460
00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:11,040
Speaker 4: then they'll go on from there. In the Warrior Docus.

461
00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:14,800
Speaker 3: I think, I think anything is possible. I think getting

462
00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:18,199
Speaker 3: swept by the Timby's as possible. I think getting all

463
00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:20,840
Speaker 3: the way to the NBA Finals as possible. But I

464
00:20:21,040 --> 00:20:24,840
Speaker 3: just you know, when you think about you know, playing

465
00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:29,439
Speaker 3: teams like the Celtics, Knicks, Calves, you know, even the Pacers.

466
00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:31,040
Speaker 2: I don't know Pacers too much. I think the Calves

467
00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:31,959
Speaker 2: will come back and win that.

468
00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:37,280
Speaker 3: But even the Thunder I think the young, the how loaded,

469
00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:44,840
Speaker 3: especially the Thunder are with stud young players that they

470
00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:46,919
Speaker 3: can go get buckets too. And I think that's the

471
00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:49,480
Speaker 3: one thing that we'll see. And I think the Timberwolves too,

472
00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:51,960
Speaker 3: Like how do they try and stop Anthony Edwards? You know,

473
00:20:51,960 --> 00:20:54,879
Speaker 3: if Edwards gets hot, you know, they can bang up

474
00:20:54,880 --> 00:20:57,159
Speaker 3: the Warriors two places and physical ball. So I'm curious

475
00:20:57,200 --> 00:21:00,720
Speaker 3: to see how that goes for them in this next series.

476
00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:04,119
Speaker 4: It's funny with Oklahoma City because I think the world

477
00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:06,439
Speaker 4: is about to see a lot of casual fans are

478
00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:08,040
Speaker 4: about to see them for the first time, you know,

479
00:21:08,040 --> 00:21:10,080
Speaker 4: as they get deeper into this playoff run here and

480
00:21:10,160 --> 00:21:12,639
Speaker 4: be like, oh wow, these guys are that good? Like

481
00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:14,800
Speaker 4: how did they have the best record in the West.

482
00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:18,120
Speaker 4: I'm still getting over them losing their Big three. I'm

483
00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:21,919
Speaker 4: still thinking about Durant and Harden and Russell Westbrook and

484
00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:23,439
Speaker 4: that Oklahoma City thunder.

485
00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:24,600
Speaker 1: What is this?

486
00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:26,960
Speaker 4: You know, I think a lot of casual fans are

487
00:21:27,040 --> 00:21:30,200
Speaker 4: like that. So that'll be interesting. And before people call

488
00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:32,000
Speaker 4: me out, I'm gonna call myself out because I said

489
00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:34,959
Speaker 4: the Rockets went through this astros like bottoming out period,

490
00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:37,600
Speaker 4: and I think the natural response is, well, what about

491
00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:40,399
Speaker 4: the Texans. Did you have astros like bottoming out period.

492
00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:42,520
Speaker 4: I'm like, yeah, we did, we did. We had three

493
00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:45,480
Speaker 4: years of total bottom out. Now, the good thing is

494
00:21:45,560 --> 00:21:49,040
Speaker 4: you're you're back in the playoffs and making noise there

495
00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:51,359
Speaker 4: and you got the I mean, the players that they have.

496
00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:54,960
Speaker 4: But we can all hope that you have the success

497
00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:57,280
Speaker 4: that the Astros did after they're bottoming out. And that's

498
00:21:57,280 --> 00:22:00,200
Speaker 4: the hope here with the Texans having their bottoming out.

499
00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:01,120
Speaker 1: Are we gonna get there?

500
00:22:01,119 --> 00:22:03,840
Speaker 4: We're gonna get to the championship level multiple times would

501
00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:04,240
Speaker 4: be great.

502
00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:06,560
Speaker 1: Rockets are hoping for that as well.

503
00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:09,960
Speaker 4: And the Astros are the Astros in the Astros docu series.

504
00:22:10,040 --> 00:22:11,719
Speaker 1: Is it like, ah, the end of the era, that

505
00:22:11,800 --> 00:22:14,560
Speaker 1: kind of thing. Stay tuned. It's sports. We love it.

506
00:22:14,560 --> 00:22:15,360
Speaker 1: It is it is.

507
00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:16,760
Speaker 2: We do, absolutely love it.

508
00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:19,480
Speaker 3: Congrassler rocks on a great regular season, tough playoff, ending

509
00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:23,080
Speaker 3: some tremendous moments, and what's gonna be one hell of

510
00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:26,320
Speaker 3: an offseason. All right, when we get back, it's time

511
00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:31,120
Speaker 3: for over under or earlier later. You know, you'll see

512
00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:33,840
Speaker 3: what I'm talking about next right here in Texans All Access.

513
00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:36,400
Speaker 3: Welcome back to this Monday night edition of Texans All

514
00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:40,000
Speaker 3: Access from Monday Texans Radio Studio, John Harris alongside Mark

515
00:22:40,119 --> 00:22:43,560
Speaker 3: Van Ruir. Mark, I know you like to play over under,

516
00:22:44,119 --> 00:22:48,320
Speaker 3: and I'm throwing in a new wrinkle called earlier or

517
00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:51,600
Speaker 3: later and you'll see exactly what I'm talking about. But

518
00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:53,680
Speaker 3: it's just an off youto over under. But it has

519
00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:59,719
Speaker 3: to do with the schedule. A reminder May fourteenth, that

520
00:22:59,880 --> 00:23:02,440
Speaker 3: is is Wednesday Wednesday?

521
00:23:02,560 --> 00:23:06,200
Speaker 2: Is that right? Wednesday? Next Wednesday? Next Wednesday?

522
00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:11,760
Speaker 3: The fourteenth, we will unveil the twenty twenty five schedule.

523
00:23:11,800 --> 00:23:14,040
Speaker 3: Actually we'll have Texans All Access which is the schedule

524
00:23:14,119 --> 00:23:17,640
Speaker 3: release pregame, but then we'll have our thoughts at seven

525
00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:21,920
Speaker 3: o'clock that evening on the schedule, it is an exciting one.

526
00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:24,080
Speaker 2: We have nine home games this year, we have eight

527
00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:24,600
Speaker 2: road games.

528
00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:27,959
Speaker 3: We also find out what the preseason games are, so

529
00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:30,480
Speaker 3: that's gonna be exciting. But Mark, are you ready for

530
00:23:31,119 --> 00:23:35,080
Speaker 3: over under? I got some simple ones to start off. Well,

531
00:23:35,119 --> 00:23:37,480
Speaker 3: I think they're simple. I think they're simple. And you'll

532
00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:41,640
Speaker 3: see how I've phrased this first one because unfortunately it's

533
00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:43,520
Speaker 3: a guy who's had injuries the last couple of years.

534
00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:46,879
Speaker 2: The number is four and a half.

535
00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:54,600
Speaker 3: Christian Kirk catches per game now at four and a half.

536
00:23:55,520 --> 00:23:59,760
Speaker 3: If he played seventeen games, that would be seventy six

537
00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:03,840
Speaker 3: and a half receptions in total, four and a half

538
00:24:03,880 --> 00:24:06,200
Speaker 3: catches per game. So if you played ten, it would

539
00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:08,920
Speaker 3: be forty five. Five would be twenty two and a half,

540
00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:11,760
Speaker 3: et cetera, twenty three, et cetera. So for a frame

541
00:24:11,800 --> 00:24:15,120
Speaker 3: of reference, I just pulled up what Nico did last year.

542
00:24:15,280 --> 00:24:20,200
Speaker 3: Nico had five point six receptions per game.

543
00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:24,240
Speaker 2: Five point was healthy. Yeah, so that's why I said

544
00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:24,760
Speaker 2: per game.

545
00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:29,360
Speaker 3: I said that per game because they've been they've been injured,

546
00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:33,240
Speaker 3: and so it suse it a little bit. So that's

547
00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:37,000
Speaker 3: why I went with receptions per game. Christian Kirk four

548
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:40,879
Speaker 3: and a half catches per game, you're going over or under.

549
00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:44,439
Speaker 4: So you're saying, if Kirk plays in only ten games,

550
00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:46,840
Speaker 4: it's still four and a half per games played.

551
00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:49,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, four and a half per games played.

552
00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:51,119
Speaker 1: I'll go over. I'll go over that.

553
00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:53,200
Speaker 4: He's gonna have some games where he catches eight ten

554
00:24:53,280 --> 00:24:58,679
Speaker 4: balls and Nico has five for ninety. Right, But Kirk

555
00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:03,320
Speaker 4: is more of a go to short yardage on occasion.

556
00:25:03,359 --> 00:25:06,760
Speaker 4: I know he's not all that, but I could see

557
00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:09,800
Speaker 4: him well over four and a half per game per

558
00:25:09,920 --> 00:25:13,640
Speaker 4: games played. Now, you know, it's hard to predict injuries

559
00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:16,000
Speaker 4: and things like that, but games he appears in. I

560
00:25:16,119 --> 00:25:18,880
Speaker 4: like the over on four and a half for Christian Kirk. Now,

561
00:25:19,359 --> 00:25:20,960
Speaker 4: we don't know how the rookies are gonna be. And

562
00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:23,359
Speaker 4: it's funny with the draft. I go over a week

563
00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:25,919
Speaker 4: now since the draft, you see all the videos and

564
00:25:25,960 --> 00:25:30,920
Speaker 4: all the analytics or all the analysts weighing in on

565
00:25:31,640 --> 00:25:34,560
Speaker 4: how Higgins is gonna do. They're all nuts for Higgins

566
00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:37,000
Speaker 4: now and I love all this stuff, you know, because

567
00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:39,639
Speaker 4: it gets me all fired up. But every team has this,

568
00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:43,120
Speaker 4: right Yeah, it's like, oh, receiver wide receiver X. They're

569
00:25:43,160 --> 00:25:45,159
Speaker 4: so good and it's gonna be great for us, the

570
00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:48,040
Speaker 4: Cardinals or whoever we are. So I just love it

571
00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:50,159
Speaker 4: for the Texans. But I'll go over the four and

572
00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:52,639
Speaker 4: a half Johnny without knowing what the rookies are gonna do.

573
00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:54,160
Speaker 1: I'll say that right now.

574
00:25:54,520 --> 00:25:58,760
Speaker 3: Okay, So Christian Kirk for six seven he's been in

575
00:25:58,800 --> 00:26:02,920
Speaker 3: the league seven years. How many of those years did

576
00:26:02,960 --> 00:26:06,520
Speaker 3: he go over four and a half receptions per game?

577
00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:09,240
Speaker 1: Four?

578
00:26:11,040 --> 00:26:11,320
Speaker 2: Three?

579
00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:12,560
Speaker 1: Okay?

580
00:26:12,560 --> 00:26:15,600
Speaker 3: He had five point two one year in Arizona. He

581
00:26:15,680 --> 00:26:18,000
Speaker 3: had four point nine in Jacksonville in twenty two. He

582
00:26:18,040 --> 00:26:20,400
Speaker 3: had four point eight in Jacksonville twenty three. Then last

583
00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:24,399
Speaker 3: year he had a career low three point four, So

584
00:26:24,920 --> 00:26:26,480
Speaker 3: I think four and a half is actually not a

585
00:26:26,520 --> 00:26:29,480
Speaker 3: bad number, and I hope it's more. I would hope

586
00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:31,760
Speaker 3: he'd be that guy that, like you said, he'll have

587
00:26:31,800 --> 00:26:35,120
Speaker 3: a consistent three, four five every game, but then he'll

588
00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:38,400
Speaker 3: have that game where he has seven, he has eight.

589
00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:40,240
Speaker 3: He has plenty of those kind of games as well,

590
00:26:40,320 --> 00:26:44,720
Speaker 3: so you know, hopefully that's that's where it ends up going.

591
00:26:45,280 --> 00:26:47,480
Speaker 3: But yeah, he's only had three of the seven where

592
00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:49,359
Speaker 3: he's over four and a half catches per game.

593
00:26:49,920 --> 00:26:52,760
Speaker 4: If he doesn't go over four and a half, I

594
00:26:52,800 --> 00:26:56,399
Speaker 4: think it's gonna be Noel or Higgins becomes this really

595
00:26:56,440 --> 00:26:58,960
Speaker 4: reliable threat. Right now, I have a hard time seeing

596
00:26:59,040 --> 00:27:02,720
Speaker 4: Barrios up that much of Kirk's potential production.

597
00:27:03,440 --> 00:27:04,160
Speaker 1: Or Watson.

598
00:27:05,240 --> 00:27:08,080
Speaker 4: I would think, justin Watson, folks, I would think that

599
00:27:08,160 --> 00:27:10,600
Speaker 4: it's going to be one of the rookies who comes

600
00:27:10,640 --> 00:27:12,960
Speaker 4: in and really splashes or think.

601
00:27:13,200 --> 00:27:17,240
Speaker 3: I think, yeah, okay, are you ready for an earlier

602
00:27:17,440 --> 00:27:17,920
Speaker 3: or later?

603
00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:19,040
Speaker 1: Do it?

604
00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:20,000
Speaker 2: Okay?

605
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:22,440
Speaker 3: This do early and laters have to do with the schedule.

606
00:27:23,680 --> 00:27:28,640
Speaker 3: We talk about this a lot earlier or later. Both

607
00:27:29,200 --> 00:27:36,920
Speaker 3: Colts games completed earlier or later than Week twelve. Now,

608
00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:40,159
Speaker 3: last year we played them week one, we played them

609
00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:43,040
Speaker 3: week eight. We were well before Week twelve. But most

610
00:27:43,040 --> 00:27:44,840
Speaker 3: every other year it's.

611
00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:47,200
Speaker 2: Been one early, one late, one early one late.

612
00:27:47,640 --> 00:27:49,600
Speaker 3: There's been a couple other times where it's been in

613
00:27:49,640 --> 00:27:52,879
Speaker 3: and around, you know, week two, week ten, somewhere in there,

614
00:27:53,680 --> 00:27:58,720
Speaker 3: both Colts games completed earlier or later than Week twelve.

615
00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:00,760
Speaker 1: And well, you know how I feel about this.

616
00:28:00,800 --> 00:28:02,760
Speaker 4: I think the league really screwed up last year by

617
00:28:02,800 --> 00:28:05,960
Speaker 4: having both Colts games completed before November hits. I mean,

618
00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:08,400
Speaker 4: what are you doing? You know what this division's gonna

619
00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:11,720
Speaker 4: come down to. So and look, I know last year

620
00:28:11,760 --> 00:28:14,520
Speaker 4: it didn't, but it had the potential. It had the

621
00:28:14,560 --> 00:28:17,080
Speaker 4: potential to be big had there been a Colts match

622
00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:17,720
Speaker 4: up late.

623
00:28:18,400 --> 00:28:20,080
Speaker 1: That gives them more hope.

624
00:28:20,200 --> 00:28:22,159
Speaker 4: Not that I want to see them have hope, but

625
00:28:22,240 --> 00:28:26,399
Speaker 4: that gives them more hope to unseat the Texans late.

626
00:28:26,880 --> 00:28:30,000
Speaker 4: And you want that because what did you have last year?

627
00:28:30,040 --> 00:28:32,520
Speaker 1: When were we through with the Jags? Last year.

628
00:28:33,960 --> 00:28:35,719
Speaker 4: Titans, I know was the last week of the season,

629
00:28:35,800 --> 00:28:37,080
Speaker 4: and that tit week thirteen.

630
00:28:37,760 --> 00:28:40,000
Speaker 3: We thirteen because it was the last game for the bye. Yeah,

631
00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:40,880
Speaker 3: we're thirteen.

632
00:28:41,080 --> 00:28:42,960
Speaker 4: Crazy that's right, the last game before the by the

633
00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:46,880
Speaker 4: worldroad game. That's crazy talk, Like, come on, what you

634
00:28:46,960 --> 00:28:51,160
Speaker 4: need to do is have the potential for a division showdown.

635
00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:54,480
Speaker 4: That means something because no one would have predicted going

636
00:28:54,520 --> 00:28:57,040
Speaker 4: into twenty twenty three that the last game of the

637
00:28:57,040 --> 00:29:00,160
Speaker 4: regular season Texans Colts would be a playoff game. That's

638
00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:02,400
Speaker 4: exactly what it was. It was awesome on a Saturday.

639
00:29:02,480 --> 00:29:05,080
Speaker 4: It was a really entertaining game for the national audience.

640
00:29:05,240 --> 00:29:08,400
Speaker 4: You know, I know these aren't like national household brand names,

641
00:29:08,760 --> 00:29:11,959
Speaker 4: but they are compelling when you have that kind of

642
00:29:12,840 --> 00:29:15,800
Speaker 4: that kind of prize on the line. So go ahead

643
00:29:15,840 --> 00:29:17,360
Speaker 4: and put the Texans in the Colts late. I don't

644
00:29:17,360 --> 00:29:19,560
Speaker 4: think they're gonna make that mistake again. And I know

645
00:29:19,600 --> 00:29:20,800
Speaker 4: people are saying, well, what do you what do you

646
00:29:20,840 --> 00:29:22,440
Speaker 4: do with the Titans, What do you do with the Jags?

647
00:29:22,600 --> 00:29:24,320
Speaker 4: I would say the Jags, you got to give them

648
00:29:24,480 --> 00:29:28,040
Speaker 4: a later one too. Most divisional games, you know you're

649
00:29:28,200 --> 00:29:31,280
Speaker 4: gonna have at least two division opponents in the last

650
00:29:31,320 --> 00:29:33,760
Speaker 4: three weeks of the season most of the time.

651
00:29:33,800 --> 00:29:35,480
Speaker 1: That the Texans didn't have that last year.

652
00:29:35,680 --> 00:29:36,360
Speaker 2: Yeah we didn't.

653
00:29:36,360 --> 00:29:40,960
Speaker 3: That was kind of weird, Okay, Leading sack artists on

654
00:29:41,120 --> 00:29:41,680
Speaker 3: the team.

655
00:29:42,160 --> 00:29:43,640
Speaker 2: Now, we don't know who it's gonna be.

656
00:29:44,680 --> 00:29:51,160
Speaker 3: We got candidates, but the number of said sack artists

657
00:29:52,040 --> 00:29:56,040
Speaker 3: over under is eleven and a half. Now, for reference,

658
00:29:56,160 --> 00:30:00,680
Speaker 3: last year, Danil had twelve, Will had eleven. Everybody else

659
00:30:00,760 --> 00:30:03,560
Speaker 3: beyond that could be one of those two, It could

660
00:30:03,560 --> 00:30:07,600
Speaker 3: be somebody else. But whoever it is, the number is

661
00:30:07,720 --> 00:30:10,240
Speaker 3: eleven and a half over or under.

662
00:30:10,840 --> 00:30:15,080
Speaker 4: Oh, totally easy over here, because okay, all right, yeah,

663
00:30:15,120 --> 00:30:18,000
Speaker 4: I'll go over with that, because look, you mentioned Danil

664
00:30:18,080 --> 00:30:22,200
Speaker 4: and Will's numbers last year. I think it's not anybody else.

665
00:30:22,200 --> 00:30:26,240
Speaker 4: It's one of those two guys. And at some point

666
00:30:26,280 --> 00:30:29,120
Speaker 4: Will well, at some point Danil, I don't want to

667
00:30:29,120 --> 00:30:31,080
Speaker 4: say he gets older, but I mean, can he keep

668
00:30:31,280 --> 00:30:32,880
Speaker 4: can he keep doing this?

669
00:30:32,880 --> 00:30:33,840
Speaker 1: This is crazy? Yeah?

670
00:30:33,880 --> 00:30:34,200
Speaker 2: Why not?

671
00:30:35,040 --> 00:30:38,520
Speaker 4: He is the most how he's built I know, I

672
00:30:38,600 --> 00:30:41,760
Speaker 4: know he's built over this thing. Yeah, he's like a robot.

673
00:30:41,840 --> 00:30:44,520
Speaker 4: And now he's living in Houston on a playoff team.

674
00:30:44,560 --> 00:30:47,760
Speaker 1: He's happy. I mean, not that he was unhappy in Minnesota.

675
00:30:47,800 --> 00:30:50,440
Speaker 4: He's probably happy up there too, but but even happier.

676
00:30:51,480 --> 00:30:53,600
Speaker 1: But Will, I think this is year.

677
00:30:53,560 --> 00:30:56,280
Speaker 4: Three, Johnny, this is where you really start to come

678
00:30:56,280 --> 00:31:00,480
Speaker 4: into your own. You know, think about what eleven, twelve, thirteen,

679
00:31:00,600 --> 00:31:02,400
Speaker 4: fourteen was Wat's best year.

680
00:31:02,440 --> 00:31:04,200
Speaker 1: That was his fourth year in the league.

681
00:31:04,640 --> 00:31:08,760
Speaker 4: Okay, and I just and how many defensive player that

682
00:31:08,800 --> 00:31:11,479
Speaker 4: he had two Defensive Player of the Year awards after

683
00:31:11,920 --> 00:31:18,160
Speaker 4: O'Brien shows up. Correct, Yeah, he did win fourteen, fourteen, fifteen.

684
00:31:19,320 --> 00:31:21,479
Speaker 4: I think this is it for Will. He's he's going

685
00:31:21,560 --> 00:31:24,959
Speaker 4: to come into another level here. So I would say, Will,

686
00:31:25,080 --> 00:31:27,480
Speaker 4: and it's over eleven and a half sacks.

687
00:31:27,920 --> 00:31:32,239
Speaker 2: Okay, you mentioned the draft. We're we're we're out of

688
00:31:32,280 --> 00:31:36,040
Speaker 2: the you know, the.

689
00:31:35,520 --> 00:31:38,120
Speaker 3: Wave of the draft, so to speak. There's still a

690
00:31:38,160 --> 00:31:40,320
Speaker 3: little bit of ripple there. Always says, oh, by the way,

691
00:31:40,720 --> 00:31:43,560
Speaker 3: we're going to table this discussion for another day. But

692
00:31:43,720 --> 00:31:49,520
Speaker 3: PFF did a redraft of two thousand and six, and

693
00:31:49,840 --> 00:31:51,760
Speaker 3: when I saw it, it made me think of the

694
00:31:51,760 --> 00:31:55,680
Speaker 3: butterfly effect of one thing happening in two thousand and six.

695
00:31:55,720 --> 00:32:00,800
Speaker 3: They redrafted, and they redrafted Andrew it Worth to the

696
00:32:00,840 --> 00:32:05,200
Speaker 3: Texans at number one overall, And I started thinking about

697
00:32:05,280 --> 00:32:10,200
Speaker 3: the butterfly effect of that one thing going forward, and

698
00:32:10,240 --> 00:32:10,760
Speaker 3: it was like.

699
00:32:10,920 --> 00:32:14,720
Speaker 4: Whoa, they don't draft Charles Spencer if they draft Whitworth.

700
00:32:14,880 --> 00:32:17,920
Speaker 2: Right, And at that point do they draft Winston?

701
00:32:18,280 --> 00:32:20,640
Speaker 3: You know, they've already gotten their guys, So at that

702
00:32:20,760 --> 00:32:23,880
Speaker 3: point they've got their left tackle, do they you know,

703
00:32:23,880 --> 00:32:25,880
Speaker 3: they don't draft Dwayne Brown at two thousand and eight,

704
00:32:25,920 --> 00:32:26,840
Speaker 3: and who do they draft?

705
00:32:27,160 --> 00:32:29,640
Speaker 2: You know? So there's so it's a butterfly effected in

706
00:32:29,720 --> 00:32:30,840
Speaker 2: my head. It's just spinning.

707
00:32:30,880 --> 00:32:32,120
Speaker 3: I was like, okay, we got to talk about that,

708
00:32:32,160 --> 00:32:33,840
Speaker 3: but we'll do that for a little bit later. But

709
00:32:33,920 --> 00:32:38,560
Speaker 3: we're still staying with the rookies here. Rookie starters, Now,

710
00:32:38,680 --> 00:32:39,960
Speaker 3: the word starter can.

711
00:32:39,840 --> 00:32:40,400
Speaker 2: Be kind of.

712
00:32:42,320 --> 00:32:45,840
Speaker 3: Especially at a guy, you know, a receiver, because Nico.

713
00:32:46,480 --> 00:32:50,120
Speaker 3: There were times they would start at certain personnel group

714
00:32:50,160 --> 00:32:52,360
Speaker 3: and Nico wasn't part of that, and they would start

715
00:32:52,360 --> 00:32:54,040
Speaker 3: the game that way. So Nico doesn't get a start,

716
00:32:54,360 --> 00:32:56,680
Speaker 3: but Nico would play eighty five to ninety percent.

717
00:32:56,480 --> 00:32:56,840
Speaker 1: Of the place.

718
00:32:57,000 --> 00:32:59,360
Speaker 2: So I use the word starter loosely.

719
00:33:00,680 --> 00:33:04,720
Speaker 3: Rookie starters on a relatively consistent basis for this team

720
00:33:04,920 --> 00:33:08,640
Speaker 3: in twenty twenty five, I set the number at one

721
00:33:08,680 --> 00:33:09,280
Speaker 3: and a half.

722
00:33:10,920 --> 00:33:13,800
Speaker 4: Oh all right, Well the half is interesting because you

723
00:33:13,880 --> 00:33:18,479
Speaker 4: figure one of the receivers is gonna break through, right, okay,

724
00:33:18,680 --> 00:33:24,040
Speaker 4: all right, And it's regular basis starters. So on defense,

725
00:33:24,240 --> 00:33:27,160
Speaker 4: do any of them become that? Based on what you

726
00:33:27,240 --> 00:33:29,360
Speaker 4: have already? It's hard to say. I would say no.

727
00:33:29,440 --> 00:33:32,600
Speaker 3: I mean, Jalen Smith, Jalen Reid. As long as you

728
00:33:32,600 --> 00:33:34,760
Speaker 3: don't have injuries, I don't think so. I think they'll

729
00:33:34,800 --> 00:33:39,760
Speaker 3: be especially special teams, right, but there's.

730
00:33:39,520 --> 00:33:42,080
Speaker 4: No vacancy in the hotel for a Kaitlin Bullock to

731
00:33:42,120 --> 00:33:44,400
Speaker 4: come in here and wreck shop or you know, or

732
00:33:44,560 --> 00:33:44,800
Speaker 4: come on.

733
00:33:46,040 --> 00:33:48,440
Speaker 1: You wouldn't think so. You would think it's on offense.

734
00:33:48,760 --> 00:33:50,840
Speaker 2: Right, So are there two?

735
00:33:51,040 --> 00:33:51,920
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go under.

736
00:33:52,160 --> 00:33:55,760
Speaker 4: I'm gonna okay, well, hold on, hold on if I'm

737
00:33:55,800 --> 00:33:59,920
Speaker 4: feeling aggressive. If I'm feeling aggressive, maybe I think Ursery

738
00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:02,920
Speaker 4: finds a way to crack into the starting lineup eventually,

739
00:34:03,160 --> 00:34:05,760
Speaker 4: you know, whether it be injury forcing him in because

740
00:34:05,800 --> 00:34:09,760
Speaker 4: he's the next best thing, or he actually wins the job,

741
00:34:10,080 --> 00:34:12,279
Speaker 4: or or shows enough promise where like, you know what,

742
00:34:12,320 --> 00:34:13,000
Speaker 4: we got to play him.

743
00:34:13,000 --> 00:34:14,600
Speaker 1: It's not that much of a drop off. Let's go

744
00:34:14,680 --> 00:34:15,839
Speaker 1: with it. Let's just do it.

745
00:34:16,560 --> 00:34:18,279
Speaker 4: I don't know if they'd think that way, but it

746
00:34:18,400 --> 00:34:20,600
Speaker 4: sounds good in May, Yeah it does.

747
00:34:20,640 --> 00:34:23,960
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go under. I think it's one even though

748
00:34:23,960 --> 00:34:25,360
Speaker 2: I'd like for it to be Ursery.

749
00:34:26,680 --> 00:34:30,279
Speaker 3: But I, boy, that's a good number, I said, I'm very,

750
00:34:30,360 --> 00:34:31,560
Speaker 3: very proud of that number.

751
00:34:31,640 --> 00:34:34,439
Speaker 4: Okay, that says something about this team, Johnny. You're talking

752
00:34:34,440 --> 00:34:36,319
Speaker 4: about a ten win team and we're talking about no

753
00:34:36,400 --> 00:34:41,680
Speaker 4: rookies getting a start and exactly one even one means that, Hey,

754
00:34:41,800 --> 00:34:45,200
Speaker 4: either your plans a wide receiver aren't going according to plan.

755
00:34:45,840 --> 00:34:48,440
Speaker 4: Although I do think there's a carrot there for one

756
00:34:48,480 --> 00:34:50,319
Speaker 4: of these guys to win a job. I do think

757
00:34:50,360 --> 00:34:52,680
Speaker 4: there's a good carrot there. Go ahead and take it.

758
00:34:52,840 --> 00:34:54,759
Speaker 4: And I don't know how it's all gonna look X,

759
00:34:54,880 --> 00:34:56,759
Speaker 4: Y and Z and all that stuff, and I don't

760
00:34:56,760 --> 00:34:57,000
Speaker 4: even know.

761
00:34:57,000 --> 00:34:57,480
Speaker 1: If they know.

762
00:34:57,880 --> 00:35:01,120
Speaker 3: But there's a chance, there's a chance. Okay, let's go

763
00:35:01,160 --> 00:35:02,480
Speaker 3: back to the schedule for this one.

764
00:35:02,640 --> 00:35:04,320
Speaker 2: Now. It's still an over under.

765
00:35:05,840 --> 00:35:10,480
Speaker 3: International games on the twenty twenty five schedule. The number

766
00:35:10,560 --> 00:35:15,080
Speaker 3: is set at a half.

767
00:35:16,440 --> 00:35:18,000
Speaker 1: You know, I don't know what to think.

768
00:35:17,800 --> 00:35:20,560
Speaker 2: Here, International games on the schedule.

769
00:35:20,760 --> 00:35:23,040
Speaker 1: Over I'm gonna say, is a half.

770
00:35:23,719 --> 00:35:25,560
Speaker 2: I'm going under. I don't think it's happened.

771
00:35:26,239 --> 00:35:29,560
Speaker 1: Okay, you know what I'm gonna get.

772
00:35:30,239 --> 00:35:32,920
Speaker 2: Under would be a big favorite. Under would be a

773
00:35:32,920 --> 00:35:34,279
Speaker 2: big favorite, but.

774
00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:35,440
Speaker 1: It would be.

775
00:35:35,960 --> 00:35:38,439
Speaker 4: But you know, Mexico City didn't happen, and it would

776
00:35:38,480 --> 00:35:40,400
Speaker 4: have happened this year because you have nine games and

777
00:35:40,440 --> 00:35:42,839
Speaker 4: if as Teca was ready, they would be there.

778
00:35:43,440 --> 00:35:45,719
Speaker 1: So it's not ready, They're not going to be there.

779
00:35:45,880 --> 00:35:48,280
Speaker 4: But I still feel like the league wants to stick

780
00:35:48,320 --> 00:35:50,680
Speaker 4: it to the Texans and they're gonna send us somewhere. Now.

781
00:35:50,680 --> 00:35:52,600
Speaker 4: When I say that, it's like it should be a celebration.

782
00:35:52,719 --> 00:35:55,480
Speaker 4: You're going international. But the football people know that this

783
00:35:55,560 --> 00:35:58,720
Speaker 4: is a big hassle and it's really difficult to play

784
00:35:58,719 --> 00:36:00,400
Speaker 4: overseas for anybody.

785
00:36:00,440 --> 00:36:01,880
Speaker 1: And I know there's a winner and a loser and

786
00:36:01,920 --> 00:36:02,359
Speaker 1: all that.

787
00:36:02,280 --> 00:36:04,120
Speaker 4: And if you win, you feel great, but it's still

788
00:36:04,160 --> 00:36:08,760
Speaker 4: a major logistical and what in football, coaches and players

789
00:36:08,880 --> 00:36:12,400
Speaker 4: like routine, and it's a major disruption to your routine.

790
00:36:12,560 --> 00:36:14,040
Speaker 1: And it's great for the league. I get it. I

791
00:36:14,040 --> 00:36:14,759
Speaker 1: get it. I get it.

792
00:36:15,120 --> 00:36:17,320
Speaker 4: I would say over because the league wants to stick

793
00:36:17,360 --> 00:36:18,000
Speaker 4: it to us.

794
00:36:18,280 --> 00:36:24,360
Speaker 3: That's yes, Okay, earlier or later, I could see this

795
00:36:24,480 --> 00:36:30,520
Speaker 3: going any number of ways. The game in Kansas City

796
00:36:31,360 --> 00:36:35,120
Speaker 3: against the Chiefs earlier or later.

797
00:36:36,440 --> 00:36:37,439
Speaker 2: Then Thanksgiving.

798
00:36:38,280 --> 00:36:40,120
Speaker 4: Thank god they didn't win the Super Bowl, so we

799
00:36:40,120 --> 00:36:43,640
Speaker 4: don't have that possibility of opening, although maybe that would

800
00:36:43,640 --> 00:36:44,080
Speaker 4: be a good thing.

801
00:36:44,080 --> 00:36:45,520
Speaker 1: I don't know. Detroit beat them there a couple of

802
00:36:45,600 --> 00:36:45,960
Speaker 1: years ago.

803
00:36:46,080 --> 00:36:49,440
Speaker 4: Worked out well for them. Earlier or later than Thanksgiving.

804
00:36:50,120 --> 00:36:52,840
Speaker 3: Now, we have played them at different times. In twenty nineteen,

805
00:36:52,880 --> 00:36:56,600
Speaker 3: we played them in October. This past year, we played

806
00:36:56,640 --> 00:37:01,319
Speaker 3: them the week before Christmas. That was that last game

807
00:37:01,360 --> 00:37:04,080
Speaker 3: we played before we went through that game against the Ravens.

808
00:37:04,480 --> 00:37:08,040
Speaker 3: So we played them at different times. Most of them

809
00:37:08,120 --> 00:37:11,759
Speaker 3: have been before Thanksgiving. But now that both teams are

810
00:37:11,760 --> 00:37:13,960
Speaker 3: pretty good, where they put the game on Christmas Day,

811
00:37:14,520 --> 00:37:20,280
Speaker 3: would they do that earlier or later Texans Chiefs than Thanksgiving.

812
00:37:20,880 --> 00:37:22,640
Speaker 4: I'm going to say earlier only because the bulk of

813
00:37:22,640 --> 00:37:25,560
Speaker 4: the schedule is earlier than Thanksgiving, and I'll say earlier.

814
00:37:25,760 --> 00:37:28,759
Speaker 4: And what's interesting is, so the Chiefs aren't going to

815
00:37:28,800 --> 00:37:31,359
Speaker 4: be the Christmas staple or one of them, because we'll

816
00:37:31,360 --> 00:37:34,760
Speaker 4: have a triple header on Christmas. They've just completely stepped

817
00:37:34,800 --> 00:37:37,040
Speaker 4: on the NBA and said, you know what, we're taking

818
00:37:37,120 --> 00:37:38,080
Speaker 4: over Christmas too.

819
00:37:38,760 --> 00:37:40,640
Speaker 1: We are going to hijack the whole day.

820
00:37:40,920 --> 00:37:41,440
Speaker 2: Sorry.

821
00:37:41,920 --> 00:37:45,640
Speaker 4: I kind of like that, but a triple header on

822
00:37:45,719 --> 00:37:49,040
Speaker 4: Christmas means this is another question. Odds of the Texans

823
00:37:49,080 --> 00:37:51,120
Speaker 4: playing on Christmas again. I know it didn't go well

824
00:37:51,200 --> 00:37:55,680
Speaker 4: last year except for the concert and Kamario lastater is Safety, Yeah,

825
00:37:55,680 --> 00:37:57,319
Speaker 4: which is still one of the great plays of the year.

826
00:37:57,360 --> 00:37:57,960
Speaker 2: You know what's funny?

827
00:37:58,080 --> 00:37:59,040
Speaker 1: Is that so.

828
00:37:59,160 --> 00:38:03,360
Speaker 4: Good at a corner, a rookie corner tackling Derrick Henry

829
00:38:03,360 --> 00:38:04,239
Speaker 4: in his own end zone?

830
00:38:04,320 --> 00:38:05,080
Speaker 1: I mean, what is that?

831
00:38:05,120 --> 00:38:09,360
Speaker 4: Doesn't happen anyway? The rest of the game, sorry, missus Lincoln,

832
00:38:09,360 --> 00:38:13,080
Speaker 4: did not go well. I would say earlier than Thanksgiving.

833
00:38:13,080 --> 00:38:14,680
Speaker 4: There's a lot to talk about with the schedule. I

834
00:38:14,680 --> 00:38:16,600
Speaker 4: know we'll get into it before May fourteenth, a week

835
00:38:16,600 --> 00:38:17,200
Speaker 4: for Wednesday.

836
00:38:17,640 --> 00:38:18,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm with you.

837
00:38:18,440 --> 00:38:21,759
Speaker 3: I think it's earlier than Thanksgiving at least I'm hoping that.

838
00:38:21,840 --> 00:38:24,759
Speaker 3: And then hopefully the playoff game happens at Houston and

839
00:38:24,800 --> 00:38:26,200
Speaker 3: not Kansas City.

840
00:38:26,280 --> 00:38:28,680
Speaker 2: Okay, we get back it. We go around the NFL.

841
00:38:28,840 --> 00:38:32,000
Speaker 3: Plenty of things happening on a Monday over the weekend.

842
00:38:32,400 --> 00:38:35,439
Speaker 3: We'll discuss them all next right here on Texans All Access.

843
00:38:35,800 --> 00:38:36,600
Speaker 2: What's happened everybody?

844
00:38:36,640 --> 00:38:39,440
Speaker 3: Welcome back to this Monday editition of Texans All Access

845
00:38:39,480 --> 00:38:42,319
Speaker 3: from the Monday Texans Radio Studio. I'm your host, John

846
00:38:42,360 --> 00:38:46,880
Speaker 3: Harris football analyst sideline reporter for your Houston Texans And

847
00:38:46,920 --> 00:38:48,960
Speaker 3: as I teased, we'll go around the NFL, but we're

848
00:38:48,960 --> 00:38:54,120
Speaker 3: going to start right here in h Town where obviously

849
00:38:54,239 --> 00:38:59,240
Speaker 3: Texas Charity Classic was taking place today and before every

850
00:38:59,400 --> 00:39:05,080
Speaker 3: year of the tournament. The McNair's president in this case,

851
00:39:05,120 --> 00:39:09,840
Speaker 3: Mike Toeman, also Nick Sero, Deique Ryans, they all speak

852
00:39:10,280 --> 00:39:11,840
Speaker 3: to the media on hand.

853
00:39:12,120 --> 00:39:14,920
Speaker 2: One of the.

854
00:39:13,960 --> 00:39:19,000
Speaker 3: Big items that came out of that is the potential

855
00:39:19,040 --> 00:39:24,680
Speaker 3: of moving our building as we call our building, out

856
00:39:24,880 --> 00:39:27,280
Speaker 3: of the NRG area.

857
00:39:29,480 --> 00:39:32,080
Speaker 2: Jonathan Alexander of the Chronic our buddy. We'll talk to

858
00:39:32,160 --> 00:39:33,239
Speaker 2: him about this later in the week.

859
00:39:33,680 --> 00:39:36,120
Speaker 3: Reports that the team is interested in moving away, is

860
00:39:36,120 --> 00:39:38,759
Speaker 3: moving from the stadium and building a facility that could

861
00:39:38,840 --> 00:39:43,759
Speaker 3: include an entertainment district, So building kind of a facility

862
00:39:44,080 --> 00:39:51,440
Speaker 3: with restaurant shopping, like a like this cool district in

863
00:39:51,480 --> 00:39:55,480
Speaker 3: and around where the facility is now. The Cowboys moved theirs,

864
00:39:55,600 --> 00:39:59,360
Speaker 3: as Pro Football Talk mentioned, up to Frisco, that's like

865
00:39:59,440 --> 00:40:02,279
Speaker 3: thirty five miles away from where the stadium is. And

866
00:40:02,320 --> 00:40:05,640
Speaker 3: I've talked to some Cowboys employees. They've talked about that situation,

867
00:40:05,719 --> 00:40:09,000
Speaker 3: about how they've moved and had to move, and you know,

868
00:40:09,080 --> 00:40:11,239
Speaker 3: they were kind of all situated in one area and

869
00:40:11,280 --> 00:40:12,640
Speaker 3: then they moved up the frist go and they're like,

870
00:40:12,640 --> 00:40:15,640
Speaker 3: oh man, we gotta move. So anyhow, that would make

871
00:40:15,680 --> 00:40:18,840
Speaker 3: things a little bit problematic for me, considering I have

872
00:40:18,960 --> 00:40:22,960
Speaker 3: not moved to a southern location to the city. If

873
00:40:22,960 --> 00:40:24,600
Speaker 3: they end up going north to the city, that's a

874
00:40:24,600 --> 00:40:27,120
Speaker 3: long haul. But I'll still do it, my Texans, I'll

875
00:40:27,120 --> 00:40:33,160
Speaker 3: do it. Calvin Gahir said today via johnh Alexander, where

876
00:40:33,160 --> 00:40:37,359
Speaker 3: we wind up with a practice facility, I'm not really sure,

877
00:40:37,560 --> 00:40:40,239
Speaker 3: not really quite sure yet. We have a lot of

878
00:40:40,360 --> 00:40:44,680
Speaker 3: options and we'll sort through that sooner rather than later.

879
00:40:45,800 --> 00:40:49,920
Speaker 3: Cow was asked building around an RG it's an option,

880
00:40:50,120 --> 00:40:54,120
Speaker 3: but so is a move elsewhere. Cal responded, would we

881
00:40:54,160 --> 00:40:56,759
Speaker 3: move out, Yeah, we would move out and do a

882
00:40:56,800 --> 00:41:02,680
Speaker 3: brand new one somewhere in the Greater Houston. Now, according

883
00:41:02,680 --> 00:41:04,279
Speaker 3: to the article, we have a lease that goes through

884
00:41:04,280 --> 00:41:06,319
Speaker 3: twenty thirty two. We've talked about are they gonna build

885
00:41:06,320 --> 00:41:08,680
Speaker 3: a new stadium, are they gonna stay, do the renovations,

886
00:41:08,719 --> 00:41:12,680
Speaker 3: et cetera. People ask me this all the time.

887
00:41:12,719 --> 00:41:13,399
Speaker 2: I don't know.

888
00:41:13,520 --> 00:41:15,759
Speaker 3: Now, this is a practice facility it would be a

889
00:41:15,800 --> 00:41:20,120
Speaker 3: facility for people in business ops, football ops away.

890
00:41:19,760 --> 00:41:20,719
Speaker 2: From the stadium.

891
00:41:21,160 --> 00:41:24,160
Speaker 3: I've talked about the issues with being in the stadium

892
00:41:24,200 --> 00:41:26,440
Speaker 3: at all times and looks.

893
00:41:26,440 --> 00:41:29,040
Speaker 2: Some people have said, well, that's just you know, you

894
00:41:29,080 --> 00:41:29,839
Speaker 2: dealing with it.

895
00:41:29,920 --> 00:41:32,799
Speaker 3: But I would ask you if you worked in a

896
00:41:32,800 --> 00:41:35,880
Speaker 3: certain situation, if every month or so you had to

897
00:41:35,880 --> 00:41:39,120
Speaker 3: go park in a totally different location, if you had

898
00:41:39,160 --> 00:41:41,440
Speaker 3: people that were in your building at all times as

899
00:41:41,480 --> 00:41:45,160
Speaker 3: you were trying to teach algebra, you know, if you

900
00:41:45,200 --> 00:41:47,520
Speaker 3: had Disney on ice rolling through your hallways and you're

901
00:41:47,560 --> 00:41:50,280
Speaker 3: going up there, so three X minus six equals twelve,

902
00:41:50,320 --> 00:41:52,880
Speaker 3: how do we solve for X? And you got, you know,

903
00:41:52,920 --> 00:41:54,880
Speaker 3: Disney on ice flying down the hallways. It doesn't make

904
00:41:54,880 --> 00:41:59,799
Speaker 3: for the easiest situation and of itself, but that being

905
00:41:59,840 --> 00:42:02,840
Speaker 3: what it is. That was a big topic today and

906
00:42:02,880 --> 00:42:06,520
Speaker 3: the entertainment district is kind of an interesting thought about.

907
00:42:07,000 --> 00:42:09,080
Speaker 3: And I'm trying to think of places where we've been

908
00:42:09,120 --> 00:42:12,839
Speaker 3: where we've seen this. Obviously up at Frisco where we

909
00:42:12,840 --> 00:42:15,000
Speaker 3: were for Hurricane Harvey, we got a chance to kind

910
00:42:15,000 --> 00:42:16,440
Speaker 3: of see what that was all about.

911
00:42:16,760 --> 00:42:17,920
Speaker 2: It's a really cool place.

912
00:42:18,200 --> 00:42:21,400
Speaker 3: Title Town in Green Bay is kind of like that

913
00:42:21,480 --> 00:42:24,000
Speaker 3: my cousin lives in Green Bay and she would say that.

914
00:42:24,520 --> 00:42:26,719
Speaker 2: She told me that her kids who are.

915
00:42:27,320 --> 00:42:30,040
Speaker 3: I think oldest is a sophomore, but like they go

916
00:42:30,080 --> 00:42:32,000
Speaker 3: to Title Town just to hang out.

917
00:42:32,440 --> 00:42:33,160
Speaker 2: That's where they go.

918
00:42:33,280 --> 00:42:37,719
Speaker 3: So never know what this entertainment type district could end

919
00:42:37,800 --> 00:42:40,160
Speaker 3: up being for the Texans. But obviously there's a lot

920
00:42:40,160 --> 00:42:42,359
Speaker 3: of momentum around that, and there are a lot of

921
00:42:42,400 --> 00:42:48,520
Speaker 3: talking points today at the golf tournament, and you knew

922
00:42:48,560 --> 00:42:50,800
Speaker 3: they were going to be If the McNair's were speaking,

923
00:42:50,880 --> 00:42:52,719
Speaker 3: that obviously was going to be something that they were

924
00:42:52,760 --> 00:42:53,520
Speaker 3: going to talk about.

925
00:42:53,520 --> 00:42:56,080
Speaker 2: So we'll obviously talk about.

926
00:42:55,800 --> 00:42:59,560
Speaker 3: It from from time to time because it does. It

927
00:42:59,600 --> 00:43:02,720
Speaker 3: doesn't you know where the Texans practice versus where they play.

928
00:43:02,800 --> 00:43:04,520
Speaker 3: We're all in the same building right now, and we're

929
00:43:04,560 --> 00:43:05,799
Speaker 3: on a few teams.

930
00:43:06,960 --> 00:43:08,399
Speaker 2: That are that way.

931
00:43:08,400 --> 00:43:11,359
Speaker 3: I think it's like four teams that are the same way.

932
00:43:11,440 --> 00:43:16,120
Speaker 3: So training facility, that obviously is one thing to discuss

933
00:43:16,440 --> 00:43:19,520
Speaker 3: down the road. Okay, that was a discussion point today

934
00:43:20,760 --> 00:43:27,360
Speaker 3: about potential new headquarters. Other news in the NFL, the

935
00:43:27,520 --> 00:43:32,600
Speaker 3: Baltimore Ravens did it. I didn't think this was gonna happen.

936
00:43:32,800 --> 00:43:35,920
Speaker 3: I just didn't. I did not see this coming. I

937
00:43:36,000 --> 00:43:39,000
Speaker 3: know it was talked about, but I'm like, it's Justin Tucker.

938
00:43:39,320 --> 00:43:41,279
Speaker 3: I gotta think they're going to find a way to

939
00:43:41,360 --> 00:43:46,240
Speaker 3: keep them around. No statement came out from the Ravens

940
00:43:46,239 --> 00:43:50,200
Speaker 3: today from Eric to Costa, executive vice president, general manager.

941
00:43:50,480 --> 00:43:53,279
Speaker 3: Sometimes football decisions are incredibly difficult, and this is one

942
00:43:53,320 --> 00:43:56,120
Speaker 3: of those instances. Considering our current roster, we've made the

943
00:43:56,160 --> 00:44:00,000
Speaker 3: tough decision to release Justin Tucker. Justin created any significant,

944
00:44:00,120 --> 00:44:03,719
Speaker 3: unforgettable moments of Raven's history. His reliability, focused drive, resilience

945
00:44:03,719 --> 00:44:05,120
Speaker 3: is extraordinary talent made him one of the.

946
00:44:05,120 --> 00:44:07,120
Speaker 2: League's best kickers for over a decade.

947
00:44:07,239 --> 00:44:10,000
Speaker 3: We are grateful for Justin's many contributions while playing for

948
00:44:10,040 --> 00:44:12,360
Speaker 3: the Ravens. We sincerely wish him and his family the

949
00:44:12,440 --> 00:44:17,759
Speaker 3: very best in this next chapter of their lives. Justin

950
00:44:17,840 --> 00:44:22,919
Speaker 3: Tucker no longer a Raven Now he has been accused

951
00:44:23,440 --> 00:44:27,360
Speaker 3: by more than a dozen massage therapists at various Baltimore

952
00:44:27,360 --> 00:44:30,880
Speaker 3: areas spas of inappropriate sexual behavior.

953
00:44:30,560 --> 00:44:32,320
Speaker 2: During massages in the twenty tens.

954
00:44:32,440 --> 00:44:36,400
Speaker 3: Now Tucker has denied all allegations of wrongdoing, but the

955
00:44:36,480 --> 00:44:39,640
Speaker 3: Ravens saying his released as a football decision. They did

956
00:44:40,160 --> 00:44:45,319
Speaker 3: draft a kicker, Tyler Loop. I believe Tyler Loop.

957
00:44:45,360 --> 00:44:48,400
Speaker 2: I know it's Loop. I think it's Tyler Loop. So

958
00:44:48,440 --> 00:44:49,399
Speaker 2: they drafted him.

959
00:44:49,440 --> 00:44:51,759
Speaker 3: And when I saw that, I thought, oh, this might

960
00:44:52,000 --> 00:44:54,960
Speaker 3: be the end of Justin Tucker in Baltimore, or maybe

961
00:44:54,960 --> 00:44:58,160
Speaker 3: it's competition for whatever happens. And it looks like it

962
00:44:58,239 --> 00:45:00,560
Speaker 3: is going to be Tyler Lup replacing just Sin Tucker

963
00:45:00,560 --> 00:45:05,640
Speaker 3: as he is released, released and now continues to have

964
00:45:05,719 --> 00:45:10,799
Speaker 3: to fight the allegations, whatever they might be. And look,

965
00:45:10,840 --> 00:45:13,719
Speaker 3: I've talked about this many many times. I even said

966
00:45:13,719 --> 00:45:16,480
Speaker 3: it with the whole of Shaun thing. You gotta let

967
00:45:16,520 --> 00:45:19,040
Speaker 3: it play out. Don't know who's right who's wrong.

968
00:45:19,640 --> 00:45:20,640
Speaker 2: When you have more.

969
00:45:20,520 --> 00:45:24,040
Speaker 3: Than a dozen in Tucker's case, more than two dozen

970
00:45:24,040 --> 00:45:27,719
Speaker 3: in the Shawn's case, something happened. You don't have that

971
00:45:27,800 --> 00:45:31,520
Speaker 3: many people colluding on a certain situation or a certain

972
00:45:31,560 --> 00:45:32,560
Speaker 3: particular individual.

973
00:45:32,840 --> 00:45:35,040
Speaker 2: But let all that stuff play out.

974
00:45:35,239 --> 00:45:36,880
Speaker 3: I didn't stay at a holiday in last night, so

975
00:45:36,920 --> 00:45:40,000
Speaker 3: I do not know legalities in all this situation. What

976
00:45:40,120 --> 00:45:43,319
Speaker 3: I do know is what Adam Schefter has put out,

977
00:45:43,320 --> 00:45:46,439
Speaker 3: and that's the statement from the Ravens EVP and General

978
00:45:46,480 --> 00:45:50,719
Speaker 3: manager Eric Tkasa saying Justin Tucker seemingly on a Hall

979
00:45:50,760 --> 00:45:52,800
Speaker 3: of Fame trajectory.

980
00:45:52,840 --> 00:45:55,360
Speaker 2: Now released by the Ravens.

981
00:45:55,400 --> 00:45:57,799
Speaker 3: He has, as they noted that statement, He's had so

982
00:45:57,960 --> 00:46:01,640
Speaker 3: many of the Big Ravens moment throughout his career. I

983
00:46:01,680 --> 00:46:04,840
Speaker 3: mean he was, I mean I was deathly afraid of

984
00:46:04,960 --> 00:46:05,880
Speaker 3: him on the field.

985
00:46:06,880 --> 00:46:10,640
Speaker 2: So this is a it's.

986
00:46:09,640 --> 00:46:13,080
Speaker 3: It's been a tough situation, gonna get even tougher for

987
00:46:13,440 --> 00:46:18,920
Speaker 3: Justin Tucker, but he is no longer with the Baltimore Ravens.

988
00:46:20,160 --> 00:46:21,000
Speaker 2: So there you go.

989
00:46:21,040 --> 00:46:24,000
Speaker 3: All right, that's all the news that we have for

990
00:46:24,080 --> 00:46:28,160
Speaker 3: you this evening on Texans All Access. I appreciate Mark

991
00:46:28,360 --> 00:46:29,879
Speaker 3: for being here. I know it was a long day

992
00:46:29,920 --> 00:46:31,800
Speaker 3: for him with all the golf that he had to play,

993
00:46:32,040 --> 00:46:34,400
Speaker 3: had to play, and then hopped in. We talked a

994
00:46:34,400 --> 00:46:37,239
Speaker 3: little over unders and talked about the Rockets last night.

995
00:46:37,320 --> 00:46:41,440
Speaker 3: Tough situation for the Rocks, Rockets losing in game seven

996
00:46:41,560 --> 00:46:44,680
Speaker 3: to that franchise again. And I hate it because I've

997
00:46:44,680 --> 00:46:47,360
Speaker 3: always been to Steph Curry guy. My family on my

998
00:46:47,400 --> 00:46:50,879
Speaker 3: wife's side, all Davidson grads except for my wife. She's

999
00:46:50,880 --> 00:46:53,120
Speaker 3: the only ones not but man, they love Steph Curry

1000
00:46:53,120 --> 00:46:55,400
Speaker 3: and I fell in love with Steph Curry when he

1001
00:46:55,440 --> 00:46:58,040
Speaker 3: was at Davidson, and you know, obviously I don't love

1002
00:46:58,040 --> 00:47:00,879
Speaker 3: it when he beats the rockets, but damn they're good.

1003
00:47:01,320 --> 00:47:03,800
Speaker 3: And that is not a seventh seed, as we said earlier.

1004
00:47:03,880 --> 00:47:06,320
Speaker 3: So there you go. Big thanks to Mark for being here,

1005
00:47:06,600 --> 00:47:09,680
Speaker 3: to all of you, to everybody that participated in the

1006
00:47:09,719 --> 00:47:13,320
Speaker 3: golf tournament that was we really appreciate. Obviously from a

1007
00:47:13,360 --> 00:47:16,280
Speaker 3: Texas perspective, Thank you so much. We'll see you tomorrow everybody,

1008
00:47:16,320 --> 00:47:17,520
