00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:30,920
Speaker 1: and a half weeks. Anything happened I need to know about?

8
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:34,600
Speaker 1: Like nothing like, Oh, Senior bowls great? Oh Senior bowls good?

9
00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:38,400
Speaker 1: And bowls very good. Feel like Thomas Jefferson in Hamilton,

Speaker 1: like what did I miss? So? What did I'm like

11
00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:43,280
Speaker 1: in the last five weeks or so? Did I miss anything? Anyway,

12
00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:45,839
Speaker 1: We're here in the Sports Radio six ten studios tonight

13
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:50,800
Speaker 1: live because it is season ten of Texans Radio as

14
00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:53,720
Speaker 1: we know it with these during the week programs which

15
00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:56,960
Speaker 1: we started in twenty well twenty twelve, So this is

16
00:00:57,000 --> 00:00:59,760
Speaker 1: the tenth season of this stuff. And for those of

17
00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:03,280
Speaker 1: you remember, we started it with Tuesday shows noon to two.

18
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:06,520
Speaker 1: Then we added Thursdays in a year or two later

19
00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:10,440
Speaker 1: six to seven, and then at some point Greg Grissom

20
00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:13,480
Speaker 1: decided that I wasn't working hard enough and needed to

21
00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:16,920
Speaker 1: work five nights. I'm just kidding. I'm kidding, five nights

22
00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:21,120
Speaker 1: a week, sixty seven PM. And Johnny joined the Texans

23
00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:24,200
Speaker 1: radio brigade in twenty fourteen. So this is our eighth

24
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:28,600
Speaker 1: season together. Yeah, being selfish eight years all that matters

25
00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:32,280
Speaker 1: this eighth year. Yeah, that's right. But it's the twentieth

26
00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:34,959
Speaker 1: season of the Houston Texans about to begin here. You

27
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:38,640
Speaker 1: know when the league year starts? What March eighteenth, right,

28
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:42,240
Speaker 1: But the Super Bowl was played yesterday, so the super

29
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:45,160
Speaker 1: bowls in the books. The offseason really kind of I

30
00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:48,200
Speaker 1: know it began weeks ago. Everybody making coaching changes, who

31
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:51,760
Speaker 1: had to do that, whatever else? But yeah, this is it. Okay,

32
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:55,600
Speaker 1: everybody's done. Everybody's O and O. Let's go. It's twenty

33
00:01:55,640 --> 00:02:00,280
Speaker 1: twenty one and the Houston Texans included seven coaching openings

34
00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:03,360
Speaker 1: and they were all filled. Texans last to fill it.

35
00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:06,960
Speaker 1: And we're gonna talk a bunch about the staff. Again.

36
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:09,359
Speaker 1: They haven't released the rest of the staff, Johnny, and

37
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:11,840
Speaker 1: they're not even done yet, but we can talk about

38
00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:14,840
Speaker 1: who's been reported to be taking over some of these positions,

39
00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:18,640
Speaker 1: like very badly kept secrets like Lovey and people like that.

40
00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:21,120
Speaker 1: We're gonna be working in the building anyway. It's good

41
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:23,920
Speaker 1: to see you because I know so much has happened.

42
00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:25,560
Speaker 1: And look, you and I talk all the time, but

43
00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:27,519
Speaker 1: here we are talking on the air, and it's great

44
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:29,960
Speaker 1: to have the listeners back. And as you know, we

45
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:32,520
Speaker 1: talk a lot about our experiences in the building, what

46
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:35,360
Speaker 1: we do working around the with and around the team.

47
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:37,960
Speaker 1: Just got through the COVID season, which was totally bizarre.

48
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:41,040
Speaker 1: I just wrote a story about broadcasting a game with coronavirus,

49
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:43,000
Speaker 1: which I hadn't gotten public with, but I just did.

50
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:45,119
Speaker 1: It's on the website and the Texans app as well.

51
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:48,880
Speaker 1: I outed you probably a few times in doing interviews

52
00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:52,799
Speaker 1: you did I don't think here I did. I did

53
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:56,440
Speaker 1: one with my buddy Sala Capaccio in Buffalo. Actually I

54
00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:58,120
Speaker 1: was out of market. You were out of Yeah, I

55
00:02:57,919 --> 00:02:59,440
Speaker 1: was on a market I don't think. I don't know

56
00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:01,760
Speaker 1: if I ever did it here though, not that I

57
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:06,000
Speaker 1: can remember. But the thing about that game was we

58
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:10,000
Speaker 1: were all in different locations, yeah, like all of us.

59
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:13,520
Speaker 1: You for one place, Dre was at one place. I

60
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:17,160
Speaker 1: was down in my moat. Uh, huh. Robert was up

61
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:22,400
Speaker 1: in the booth with yeah, with Um, with David. They

62
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:24,720
Speaker 1: were up there. So when they're seated too, they're a

63
00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:28,200
Speaker 1: good twenty five feet or something. Hard. Yeah, it was.

64
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:32,000
Speaker 1: It was nuts. I remember, and I think it was

65
00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:34,720
Speaker 1: the Packers game Packers game, because we went into to

66
00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:37,680
Speaker 1: buy the next week and I was like, thank god,

67
00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:40,400
Speaker 1: we have a buy. I was God. It was like

68
00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:42,880
Speaker 1: that in that broadcast. I mean, we got done with

69
00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:44,560
Speaker 1: it and it was like, hey, would You wouldn't really

70
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:48,280
Speaker 1: have known, but I just remember I was immense pain

71
00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:51,560
Speaker 1: because I was dealing with my back issue and so

72
00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:54,080
Speaker 1: I'll have everything else and so all that's going on,

73
00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:57,440
Speaker 1: I'm in the moat, I mean, the First War problems,

74
00:03:57,480 --> 00:04:00,520
Speaker 1: of course, the whole Mote situation this year. Oh, I

75
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:02,680
Speaker 1: could read it this, which is the first row of

76
00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:06,240
Speaker 1: seats in the stadiums. That's the front row. Basically instead

77
00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:07,680
Speaker 1: of being on the sideline, you had to be up

78
00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:10,440
Speaker 1: there right because of coronavirus. It's great because you could

79
00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:17,599
Speaker 1: see pretty well. Yeah, it was great. But then when um, yeah,

80
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:19,440
Speaker 1: I don't want to get really into but when you

81
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:22,320
Speaker 1: have like the national broadcast to take over the fifth

82
00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:24,520
Speaker 1: yard line and you can't pass on the moat. There's

83
00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:27,320
Speaker 1: a fight that almost started in Chicago because of this,

84
00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:31,080
Speaker 1: because of the CBS. That was the CBS that day

85
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:32,680
Speaker 1: or Fox, I can't remember which one. They didn't have

86
00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:35,920
Speaker 1: a sideline reporter. They just had somebody there kind of

87
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:40,200
Speaker 1: manning things, and they had and they had a screen

88
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:42,279
Speaker 1: of monitor right so they could look at it, and

89
00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:44,080
Speaker 1: the monitor was kind of blocking in. One of the

90
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:47,239
Speaker 1: cameramen came over and it was in a strong Chicago accident,

91
00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:50,120
Speaker 1: was like, you gotta move that, you gotta move. We

92
00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:52,400
Speaker 1: can't get by, and so this whole thing starts about

93
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:54,320
Speaker 1: getting by. Well, I just decided that day I was

94
00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:56,640
Speaker 1: gonna stand above the tarp because there's no fans. So

95
00:04:56,680 --> 00:04:58,440
Speaker 1: I just stood above the tarp at the fifty yard line.

96
00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:00,320
Speaker 1: I was fine. I was great. I just to watch

97
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:02,680
Speaker 1: the whole thing. It was craziness all year long. But

98
00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:05,880
Speaker 1: here's the thing. Mark two hundred and fifty six games

99
00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:08,960
Speaker 1: where regular season games were played, right, playoff games and

100
00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:12,680
Speaker 1: Super Bowl all played on time, which is a minor miracle.

101
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:15,920
Speaker 1: Well not time, not time, but they were. The super

102
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:19,360
Speaker 1: Bowl was played some Tuesday night action. Yeah, a Wednesday.

103
00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:21,080
Speaker 1: Did we have a Wednesday night. We had a Wednesday night.

104
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:22,919
Speaker 1: We had a Wednesday night. Wait, what was the afternoon?

105
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:25,039
Speaker 1: Was that a Thursday or a Wednesday afternoon with a

106
00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:29,440
Speaker 1: Ravens Ravens and Steelers? How about that? We had some weirdness,

107
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:31,920
Speaker 1: but not as much as you might think. You're right,

108
00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:33,920
Speaker 1: with all those games, we got them all played in

109
00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:36,560
Speaker 1: February seventh was yesterday. That's when the Super Bowl scheduled

110
00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:39,280
Speaker 1: and it was played, which and they did a hell

111
00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:41,159
Speaker 1: of a job in the stands with a Super Bowl,

112
00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:44,200
Speaker 1: all the cardboard cutouts. There were times when I can tell, yeah,

113
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:47,880
Speaker 1: I'm I've gotten high definition television Nextfinity, and I'm thinking,

114
00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:50,719
Speaker 1: you know, I'm squinting my eyes a little bit. I'm thinking,

115
00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:53,400
Speaker 1: this looks like a super Bowl. Yeah it was. It was.

116
00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:56,800
Speaker 1: There's no there's no doubt. It was bizarre to be

117
00:05:56,960 --> 00:05:59,640
Speaker 1: on road games and you guys were back here and

118
00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:03,920
Speaker 1: I was there. It was odd and strange on so

119
00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:08,480
Speaker 1: many different levels. But I remember thinking when obviously COVID

120
00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:11,440
Speaker 1: hit in, you know, we were all aware of it

121
00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:13,159
Speaker 1: at the beginning of March, and then we really want

122
00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:15,599
Speaker 1: to shut down. It was like March thirteenth, fourteen somewhere

123
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:18,400
Speaker 1: in that range. I remember thinking, okay, well, what do

124
00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:20,400
Speaker 1: you do with pro days? What do you do with

125
00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:22,080
Speaker 1: with the draft? What do you do with the off season? Like,

126
00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:24,080
Speaker 1: what are you gonna do with all these things? And

127
00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:26,320
Speaker 1: then the NFL said, all right, well we're gonna go

128
00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:29,279
Speaker 1: virtue off season. Everybody go home. Yeah, you're gonna learn

129
00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:32,640
Speaker 1: at home. Draft, You're gonna do interviews through zoom. You're

130
00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:35,479
Speaker 1: all out of the building. You get out right, And

131
00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:39,239
Speaker 1: now you can't do that. Pulled off the draft, virtue

132
00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:41,320
Speaker 1: off season. Now you can't do that. They did it.

133
00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:44,040
Speaker 1: How are you gonna do this season? Well, we're gonna

134
00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:46,839
Speaker 1: cut preseason games and then we're gonna put in these requirements.

135
00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:48,320
Speaker 1: We're gonna test them every day. We're gonna do it.

136
00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:50,240
Speaker 1: You can't do all that, And they did it. Yeah,

137
00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:52,520
Speaker 1: they pull it off. And now you see other sports

138
00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:55,159
Speaker 1: leagues that are following basketball is playing I think in

139
00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:57,279
Speaker 1: their arenas now because they looked at what the NFL did,

140
00:06:57,320 --> 00:06:59,160
Speaker 1: say hey we can do that. Yeah, we got our

141
00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:02,160
Speaker 1: own planes. We can do it. You know, it's tasked,

142
00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:04,440
Speaker 1: and you know basketball as a whole other thing. What

143
00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:06,960
Speaker 1: are the seventy five games or something like that it's

144
00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:10,960
Speaker 1: a shortened season and playing games in their own arena.

145
00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:12,800
Speaker 1: I was at Toyota Center the other night. I watched

146
00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:15,760
Speaker 1: the Rockets and the Spurs, and for Vander Kidd's birthday,

147
00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:18,240
Speaker 1: it's an annual tradition we have to go, and you know,

148
00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:20,400
Speaker 1: it's a game close to his birthday, and it was

149
00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:21,880
Speaker 1: a lot of fun to be there, and you know

150
00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:23,840
Speaker 1: they're pulling it off. So good for them. I mean,

151
00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:26,880
Speaker 1: you'd rather see the joint filled up. Although for me,

152
00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:29,320
Speaker 1: you know, you know, as I get a little more seasoned,

153
00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:31,520
Speaker 1: I'm like, hey, this is nice. I can really spread out.

154
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:34,880
Speaker 1: This is great. I got this whole section. But that's

155
00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:37,880
Speaker 1: that's probably not the most economically sound way of doing

156
00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:40,480
Speaker 1: it for these sports leagues. Anyway, super Bowl played yesterday,

157
00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:42,680
Speaker 1: of course, Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers beating

158
00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:44,040
Speaker 1: the Chiefs. We'll get to that in a few moments.

159
00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:47,560
Speaker 1: Let's talk about the Texans here, Johnny Is. Obviously, the

160
00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:49,880
Speaker 1: year did not go according to plan, and you mentioned

161
00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:54,520
Speaker 1: it last offseason. Not having the OTAs and the training

162
00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:57,920
Speaker 1: camp situation was totally different, and the joint practices in

163
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:01,440
Speaker 1: preseason games. I think this effect then maybe more than

164
00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:03,800
Speaker 1: a lot of teams, because hey, Bill O'Brien was saying

165
00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:05,720
Speaker 1: at the time, we're getting some veteran guys in here.

166
00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:07,400
Speaker 1: You know, you should be able to pick up the

167
00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:10,360
Speaker 1: offense pretty quickly, and Brandon Cooks knows it and everything

168
00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:14,320
Speaker 1: like that. I just think that the timing. Look, I'm

169
00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:16,680
Speaker 1: not a coach, but I can see with my own

170
00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:18,760
Speaker 1: eyes that they were better as the year went on.

171
00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:20,880
Speaker 1: I know they made the coaching change after week four,

172
00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:23,720
Speaker 1: but they were better as the year went on than

173
00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:26,200
Speaker 1: they were earlier. And look, they were still slinging it

174
00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:28,880
Speaker 1: and putting up big numbers with Chad Hanson and Kiki

175
00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:31,240
Speaker 1: qt catching the ball and Fuller out for the year,

176
00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:34,160
Speaker 1: and then obviously Randall Cobb getting hurt and Kenny still

177
00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:36,000
Speaker 1: Is getting released, and they were still able to put

178
00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:39,000
Speaker 1: up big numbers, big yards. Watson was terrific led the

179
00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:42,920
Speaker 1: league in passing coaching change. Of course, it really happened

180
00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:45,480
Speaker 1: a week four with Romeo taking over in an interim basis,

181
00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:49,360
Speaker 1: but David Culley comes in Casserio before that as the

182
00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:52,720
Speaker 1: GM and the staff starting to round out a little

183
00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:56,480
Speaker 1: bit here. So look, Pep Hamilton as the quarterback coach

184
00:08:56,559 --> 00:09:00,120
Speaker 1: with Tim Kelly staying as the offensive coordinator. Coordinator. I

185
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:03,320
Speaker 1: think that's an interesting dynamic right there, because look, Kelly's

186
00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:07,600
Speaker 1: got less experience as a coordinator than Hamilton does himself. Right,

187
00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:11,840
Speaker 1: But Hamilton obviously as coach some pretty good quarterbacks and

188
00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:14,880
Speaker 1: knows a thing or two coming off the Herbert situation.

189
00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:17,440
Speaker 1: That's nice, And he had Andrew luck as a young

190
00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:20,040
Speaker 1: guy in this league. I mean, I think that there's

191
00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:22,360
Speaker 1: a lot he brings to the table as a QB coach,

192
00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:24,640
Speaker 1: and I think, you know, I would hope that Kelly

193
00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:26,800
Speaker 1: only gets better as you go along. I think he

194
00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:28,760
Speaker 1: got better as a coordinator along with the rest of

195
00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:30,720
Speaker 1: the offense. As I point that out, I think Kelly

196
00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:32,800
Speaker 1: got better as the year went on. In fact, you

197
00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:35,320
Speaker 1: can hear that in our visits with him. When we

198
00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:37,520
Speaker 1: caught up with him on Mondays every other Monday, he

199
00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:40,000
Speaker 1: would talk about how he wouldn't say directly I feel

200
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:41,920
Speaker 1: like I'm improving, but you could hear it in his

201
00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:44,800
Speaker 1: voice how he felt like he was on a better track. Well,

202
00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:46,679
Speaker 1: we talk about it all the time. As a pertain's

203
00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:49,440
Speaker 1: from rookie's going to second year players, Guy's gonna make

204
00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:51,520
Speaker 1: the leap. Well, that's what Tim was. Tim was a

205
00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:54,360
Speaker 1: rookie coordinator. So now you're going in through second year.

206
00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:57,320
Speaker 1: I remember a long long time ago, my very first

207
00:09:57,400 --> 00:09:59,760
Speaker 1: year as a head coach. I remember going back in

208
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:02,680
Speaker 1: watching after my first year, watching us play and I'm like,

209
00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:06,160
Speaker 1: why am I doing that? What am I doing? Made

210
00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:09,840
Speaker 1: some subtle changes? Should just scheme things that you saw

211
00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:12,240
Speaker 1: after one year? And I'm sure that Tim would probably

212
00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:15,320
Speaker 1: do that. My philosophy on it, Mark has always been

213
00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:20,880
Speaker 1: just it's kind of the Julian Edelman philosophy when when

214
00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:24,280
Speaker 1: Belichick drafted him back in OH nine, You drafted him

215
00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:26,960
Speaker 1: six seventh round, and he called him and he just said,

216
00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:29,040
Speaker 1: I don't know where I'm gonna play. You're not a quarterback.

217
00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:30,360
Speaker 1: I don't know what I'm gonna do with you. Well,

218
00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:33,480
Speaker 1: we're gonna figure it out, right. It's essentially, you find

219
00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:36,920
Speaker 1: enough good people and find enough good coaches, you figure

220
00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:40,640
Speaker 1: it out. And so that to me is kind of

221
00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:42,040
Speaker 1: the way you look at it and say, hey, look,

222
00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:46,240
Speaker 1: Pep Hamilton, Tim Kelly, you know thoughts about Josh McCown

223
00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:48,040
Speaker 1: staying on the staff, all that kind of stuff, Well,

224
00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:50,679
Speaker 1: they seemingly all would revolve around a quarterback. You figure

225
00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:52,680
Speaker 1: it out out, you figure it out. You just bring

226
00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:55,240
Speaker 1: in as many good coaches as you can to put

227
00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:58,800
Speaker 1: together as good a staff as you possibly can. And yeah,

228
00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:02,360
Speaker 1: you may not have the right fit at all times,

229
00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:05,640
Speaker 1: but you keep working at it, and you keep finding

230
00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:08,240
Speaker 1: good guys to bring in and good coaches to bring in,

231
00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:10,440
Speaker 1: and you'll figure it out. So to me, I don't

232
00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:12,280
Speaker 1: look at that and go, well, it's tim it's pet

233
00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:13,880
Speaker 1: like are they gonna be? And I don't think about

234
00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:15,720
Speaker 1: that way. I just think about it as there's a

235
00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:18,840
Speaker 1: couple of really smart guys that have let NFL offenses.

236
00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:22,040
Speaker 1: They can figure it out. They can figure it out,

237
00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:25,199
Speaker 1: So let's figure it out together and see what they

238
00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:27,880
Speaker 1: can do together. Correct me if I'm wrong. Some QB

239
00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:31,640
Speaker 1: coaches are more like mini offensive coordinators, where let's just

240
00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:34,160
Speaker 1: hone in on these elements of the offense and everything,

241
00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:36,600
Speaker 1: and they're less able to be your swing coach if

242
00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:38,880
Speaker 1: you will. Maybe they can see some things and certainly

243
00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:43,000
Speaker 1: help you out, whereas some other quarterback coaches might be

244
00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:45,800
Speaker 1: more I don't know, technical in terms of the way

245
00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:48,959
Speaker 1: you play, the way you throw things like that, more

246
00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:51,440
Speaker 1: like a quincy avery or what's the guy's name who

247
00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:54,040
Speaker 1: coach Manziel and all those who we used to interview

248
00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:58,120
Speaker 1: with the combine all George Whitfield. Yes, so you know,

249
00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:01,480
Speaker 1: some might be more like that, some might be more

250
00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:04,400
Speaker 1: like mini offensive coordinators. Yeah. I think it varies depending

251
00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:07,319
Speaker 1: on how the staff is put together. In some sense,

252
00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:11,680
Speaker 1: if the head coach is a is the play caller,

253
00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:13,760
Speaker 1: like you know, take for instance, you know Kansas City

254
00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:16,720
Speaker 1: we saw last night, or take the Bucks. You've got

255
00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:20,520
Speaker 1: Byron Leftwich who's the offensive coordinator and basically he the

256
00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:23,720
Speaker 1: whole play calling is all him. That's what Bruce said. Bruce.

257
00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:27,800
Speaker 1: Bruce Arians said, it's all on Byron. Well, because Byron's

258
00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:32,319
Speaker 1: focused on the offense, then they maybe have a quarterback

259
00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:35,400
Speaker 1: coach that is with Tom, that they go through things

260
00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:37,559
Speaker 1: and they share things together, and maybe there's a filter

261
00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:41,240
Speaker 1: between them. That quarterback coach ends up being a filter

262
00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:44,400
Speaker 1: between them and between those two and Byron. Maybe they

263
00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:46,920
Speaker 1: come together with Byron the coach can then you know,

264
00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:49,120
Speaker 1: the quarterback coach can then go to Byron himself and say, hey,

265
00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:50,760
Speaker 1: these are some of the things that Tom's talking about.

266
00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:52,559
Speaker 1: Tom could talk to Byron about some of the things

267
00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:57,240
Speaker 1: he likes. It's just varied on how I think the

268
00:12:57,320 --> 00:12:59,839
Speaker 1: staff is put together and what the head coach is

269
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:03,839
Speaker 1: comfortable with with, what the coordinators are comfortable with. Last year,

270
00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:09,520
Speaker 1: Tim was offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach, so maybe that's

271
00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:12,480
Speaker 1: a lot to put on somebody to be both. Now,

272
00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:15,280
Speaker 1: you've got to have the input of the quarterback obviously

273
00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:19,200
Speaker 1: to your offense, but to not have that role specifically

274
00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:21,120
Speaker 1: so you can have more of a thirty thousand foot

275
00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:24,160
Speaker 1: view of the entire operation may help, it may not.

276
00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:27,520
Speaker 1: Some coordinators might want to have that quarterback coach title

277
00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:29,360
Speaker 1: so they can just be, you know, hip to hip

278
00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:32,560
Speaker 1: with the quarterback, whereas some coordinators are like, no, I

279
00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:34,560
Speaker 1: want to have a quarterback coach that kind of helps me,

280
00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:37,960
Speaker 1: kind of becomes the filter between the quarterback and me

281
00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:39,600
Speaker 1: and kind of put it all together that way. I

282
00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:41,480
Speaker 1: think it just varies by staff, So I'm curious how

283
00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:44,000
Speaker 1: this will go together. But again go back to my point.

284
00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:46,640
Speaker 1: You just get good coaches and you put them together

285
00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:49,760
Speaker 1: and you figure out and you have an operation for

286
00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:51,400
Speaker 1: how you're gonna do it might be different than how

287
00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:53,720
Speaker 1: you did it. I've always said this a million times.

288
00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:57,520
Speaker 1: Different doesn't mean better. It's just different. And so we'll

289
00:13:57,559 --> 00:13:59,959
Speaker 1: see if it ends up being how different it is

290
00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:02,440
Speaker 1: from what they did last year. Obviously a new head coach,

291
00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:04,040
Speaker 1: and so we'll see how David Culley wants to do

292
00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:05,640
Speaker 1: it and how he wants to put it together. All right,

293
00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:08,880
Speaker 1: tell me about Lovey now, Lovey Smith, because it got

294
00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:12,000
Speaker 1: it got Report of the Week, Holly was hired. In fact,

295
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:13,360
Speaker 1: it was in the wind that he was going to

296
00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:17,040
Speaker 1: be the defensive coordinator. And Lovey is somebody brings a

297
00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:19,360
Speaker 1: great deal of experience to the table. He you know,

298
00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:22,040
Speaker 1: you look at his record in Chicago. You know, he

299
00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:24,760
Speaker 1: took the Bears to a Super Bowl, another NFC championship game.

300
00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:26,400
Speaker 1: I think he was ten and six the year that

301
00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:31,000
Speaker 1: he was let go. I believe that's the case. And

302
00:14:31,160 --> 00:14:34,560
Speaker 1: you know, look at the Illinois experience as okay, that

303
00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:38,760
Speaker 1: that didn't go very well to me, though, if you

304
00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:41,080
Speaker 1: have a bad experience like that doesn't necessarily mean you

305
00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:43,880
Speaker 1: forgot everything you did well in the past, all right,

306
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:46,240
Speaker 1: especially when you were a coordinator, when you were an

307
00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:48,640
Speaker 1: assistant coach, which is what he's going to be here.

308
00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:51,040
Speaker 1: So tell me about him and what he might bring

309
00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:54,160
Speaker 1: to the table. Well, I'm curious to see what are

310
00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:56,840
Speaker 1: some of the things that he may have learned in college.

311
00:14:57,400 --> 00:15:00,160
Speaker 1: And what I mean by that seeing the offenses. Yeah, see,

312
00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:02,920
Speaker 1: you see some different offenses. Now the Big Ten is

313
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:07,880
Speaker 1: not as varied, I guess maybe. I mean you do

314
00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:09,840
Speaker 1: see Ohio State and I'm trying to remember who all

315
00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:11,960
Speaker 1: Illinois played because it was only six games this year.

316
00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:14,720
Speaker 1: But well back in the day you had I mean

317
00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:18,400
Speaker 1: when Purdue, you know, yeah, I meant some of that

318
00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:22,480
Speaker 1: with Northwestern brom there, Northwestern doing it a little bit

319
00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:24,840
Speaker 1: differently than what they did back in the in the

320
00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:27,840
Speaker 1: Randy Walker days. But point being, you see some things

321
00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:30,560
Speaker 1: in college that are now filtering up. And we said

322
00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:33,320
Speaker 1: that a million times high school things filter up to college.

323
00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:35,520
Speaker 1: College things are filtering up to the NFL. We're seeing

324
00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:39,800
Speaker 1: more of that. So Love he's had an opportunity to

325
00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:43,760
Speaker 1: see some of those things that are coming from college

326
00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:47,160
Speaker 1: to the NFL and have that kind of added to

327
00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:52,080
Speaker 1: his added to his toolbox, if you will. I've said

328
00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:56,040
Speaker 1: that's hugely important because when you start looking around, like

329
00:15:56,160 --> 00:15:59,480
Speaker 1: take for instance, Brandon's Daley, Brandon Daley with the Rams

330
00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:02,320
Speaker 1: had been at I'm trying to remember where he was

331
00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:06,320
Speaker 1: he was at a D three school like sevent eight

332
00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:08,800
Speaker 1: years ago. Yeah, not even that long ag Yeah, not

333
00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:10,920
Speaker 1: even maybe like five years ago, what it was something

334
00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:13,720
Speaker 1: like that. Anyways, he was coaching at D three level,

335
00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:16,640
Speaker 1: and you've got to get pretty creative about some of

336
00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:19,920
Speaker 1: the things you're doing. So from that perspective, you bring

337
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:22,960
Speaker 1: that with you to the Rams as a defensive coordinator,

338
00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:24,880
Speaker 1: and some of the things that he was doing with

339
00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:27,960
Speaker 1: the La Rams. You're going, wait a second, I kind

340
00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:32,160
Speaker 1: of only see this on Saturdays when I'm watching college football,

341
00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:35,240
Speaker 1: some of the things that they're doing. So maybe love

342
00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:38,800
Speaker 1: he's learned from that particular aspect. But the one thing

343
00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:41,400
Speaker 1: that we've known for a long time with Lovey kind

344
00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:43,840
Speaker 1: of coming out of the Tony Dungee School of Tampa two,

345
00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:48,160
Speaker 1: if you will, if that's a sort of scheme that

346
00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:52,880
Speaker 1: allowed players to play fast. They wanted to create chaos upfront,

347
00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:56,560
Speaker 1: penetrate up front, create chaos up front. But you're gonna

348
00:16:56,560 --> 00:16:59,720
Speaker 1: play fast because we don't try and complicate things and

349
00:16:59,800 --> 00:17:03,160
Speaker 1: make things. It doesn't mean you make it simple on

350
00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:05,720
Speaker 1: the offense, but it just makes it easier for you

351
00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:08,520
Speaker 1: to play fast because you know this thing backwards and forwards.

352
00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:11,080
Speaker 1: Now you throw in some of the wrinkles and things

353
00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:13,360
Speaker 1: that maybe you learned Illinois in the three or four

354
00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:15,679
Speaker 1: years he was there as a head coach. When you

355
00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:18,399
Speaker 1: see what you have as a defense, now, the onus

356
00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:21,280
Speaker 1: is on Nick Cassario to figure out what that personnel

357
00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:22,920
Speaker 1: is going to be because I think, well we found

358
00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:25,600
Speaker 1: out mark over the last five six weeks in particular,

359
00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:29,760
Speaker 1: was the personnel wasn't where it needed to be because

360
00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:31,680
Speaker 1: you had some key guys go down. Obviously, it's start

361
00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:33,640
Speaker 1: way back in training camp when Garyon Conley went down.

362
00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:37,400
Speaker 1: We knew watching a training camp that we were thin

363
00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:41,439
Speaker 1: at corner right, and then it had a domino effect

364
00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:44,479
Speaker 1: when Garyon's out, Now Vernon has to go outside. Well,

365
00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:47,680
Speaker 1: Vernon should have played all year inside, but you don't

366
00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:49,639
Speaker 1: have Connley, so Vernon's gotta go outside. It's now you

367
00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:52,440
Speaker 1: just got this trickle down effect. Now because Vernon has

368
00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:57,000
Speaker 1: to go outside, you bring Eric Murray down from safety.

369
00:17:57,240 --> 00:17:59,400
Speaker 1: Now he's got to play the nickel. He's not back

370
00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:01,840
Speaker 1: there at safe where he was signed to be, and

371
00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:04,080
Speaker 1: you've got everything kind of out of joint at that point.

372
00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:06,440
Speaker 1: And then guys get banged up and you look out

373
00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:10,640
Speaker 1: there and go, that's not an NFL defense. So that's

374
00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:13,440
Speaker 1: that's got a change. So I think we're all pretty

375
00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:15,600
Speaker 1: much in the same page. The personnel and defense has

376
00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:20,040
Speaker 1: got it's got to get better. And here's the here's

377
00:18:20,040 --> 00:18:22,840
Speaker 1: the tough thing. As I saw it at the Senior

378
00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:28,040
Speaker 1: Bowl this year, to me, strikes me as strength on

379
00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:32,040
Speaker 1: the offensive side of the ball Bowl in particular, just

380
00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:33,920
Speaker 1: in general. But it feels like it's a really good

381
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:36,960
Speaker 1: quarterback class. I think I love the running backs in

382
00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:39,040
Speaker 1: this class. Wide receivers are going to be on par

383
00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:42,040
Speaker 1: with what they were last year and last year's class.

384
00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:46,320
Speaker 1: There's a tremendous receiver class. The tight ends I think

385
00:18:46,760 --> 00:18:49,399
Speaker 1: are Okay, they're not great, but the line in the

386
00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:52,760
Speaker 1: interior linement, I love them them. The tackles deep. Oh

387
00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:55,240
Speaker 1: there's not a Laramie, but it's but it's a pretty

388
00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:59,640
Speaker 1: deep class. Defensively, I think at the top of each

389
00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:03,320
Speaker 1: position group you could say, Okay, that's those Mika Parsons

390
00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:07,919
Speaker 1: at bed State, UM certain and Farley at corner some

391
00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:10,440
Speaker 1: of those things. But I think beyond that, the depth

392
00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:12,920
Speaker 1: is a little I think it's a little bit stretched.

393
00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:15,960
Speaker 1: So you're gonna have to really search to find some nuggets.

394
00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:19,399
Speaker 1: We'll see what they do from a from a roster standpoint,

395
00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:21,680
Speaker 1: what the salary cap is gonna be, how much money

396
00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:24,520
Speaker 1: they're gonna have. From from a free agent standpoint. But

397
00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:26,960
Speaker 1: we're a point where the draft has really got to

398
00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:30,080
Speaker 1: be how this team gets fed. And we've got to

399
00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:33,440
Speaker 1: see those year one to year two jumps made Blacklock,

400
00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:35,920
Speaker 1: Reid Grenard. They've got to take that year one to

401
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:39,560
Speaker 1: year two jump half too. It's a must for those

402
00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:41,240
Speaker 1: three guys to take that year one of year two

403
00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:44,280
Speaker 1: jump on defense. By the way, Brandon Staley, we forgot

404
00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:47,679
Speaker 1: the football powerhouse that he was at in twenty sixteen.

405
00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:51,399
Speaker 1: That would be John Carroll Carroll. Okay, Nicko's alma mater.

406
00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:54,800
Speaker 1: There's a lot of guys Alma Daniel's alma mater. A

407
00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:57,120
Speaker 1: lot of guys want to John Carroll. It's a cradle

408
00:19:57,119 --> 00:20:01,119
Speaker 1: of coaches D three style. The younger brother of josh

409
00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:04,080
Speaker 1: Ben McDaniels reportedly hired by the Texans to be in

410
00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:06,879
Speaker 1: an offensive assistant, but he didn't go to John Carroll.

411
00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:09,240
Speaker 1: He went to Kent State as a quarterback, and so

412
00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:11,560
Speaker 1: did Julian Edelman, who you already mentioned in this stegment.

413
00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:17,280
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, it's all come around full circle. It's amazing, amazing,

414
00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:21,159
Speaker 1: it's coming together. But yeah, look, they're not done with

415
00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:24,040
Speaker 1: the staff yet and they're not close to announcing. Well

416
00:20:24,040 --> 00:20:25,600
Speaker 1: maybe they are closed. Maybe like tomorrow, we got it

417
00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:27,160
Speaker 1: all wrapped up and here it is at four o'clock.

418
00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:29,360
Speaker 1: I don't know, but I hope it's soon because that's

419
00:20:29,359 --> 00:20:31,119
Speaker 1: when Houston Texans dot Com we can come out with

420
00:20:31,119 --> 00:20:33,280
Speaker 1: all the profiles on them and interview them and just

421
00:20:33,320 --> 00:20:35,480
Speaker 1: get all that information out there. I mean, we've gotten

422
00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:38,159
Speaker 1: to know Nick a little bit in the last few weeks,

423
00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:40,520
Speaker 1: and obviously they've been really busy trying to put this

424
00:20:40,600 --> 00:20:44,280
Speaker 1: thing together. And coach Cully, who look, I understand, you

425
00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:47,200
Speaker 1: know people, boy that was that came out of nowhere

426
00:20:47,320 --> 00:20:49,200
Speaker 1: in a lot of people's eyes. I think his name

427
00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:52,440
Speaker 1: surfaced in a report maybe a week out, a week

428
00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:54,080
Speaker 1: and a half out, and I thought, all right, that's

429
00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:55,600
Speaker 1: a guy to keep an eye on, and eventually he

430
00:20:55,640 --> 00:20:59,040
Speaker 1: becomes the coach. There were seven openings, Johnny, and four

431
00:20:59,080 --> 00:21:01,840
Speaker 1: of the seven or what I would call out of

432
00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:04,120
Speaker 1: the box kind of hires, you know what I mean,

433
00:21:04,320 --> 00:21:06,920
Speaker 1: sort of up these people weren't talking about yeah names

434
00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:09,480
Speaker 1: that yeah, because and that's that's a good point. That's

435
00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:11,800
Speaker 1: a good way you put it right there, because who

436
00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:15,480
Speaker 1: knows what the internal lists are of all these organizations

437
00:21:15,720 --> 00:21:19,399
Speaker 1: who are either definitely looking or possibly looking for a

438
00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:22,480
Speaker 1: head coach, Like back in November December, right when you know,

439
00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:26,119
Speaker 1: like Jacksonville, you know that Doug Marone's not going to

440
00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:28,000
Speaker 1: be back all right, but he's still coaching the team

441
00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:30,480
Speaker 1: for a few more weeks here, and we've got a list.

442
00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:33,240
Speaker 1: We're working on urban Meyer right right. I mean, who

443
00:21:33,280 --> 00:21:35,600
Speaker 1: knows how long they had their eye on him, and

444
00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:38,720
Speaker 1: if the Texas thing fell through because Urban thought, I

445
00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:40,399
Speaker 1: think I can go to Jacksonville. I'd rather go to

446
00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:42,359
Speaker 1: the NFL and all of that. Who knows how that

447
00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:45,560
Speaker 1: all plays out and some of those untold stories we'd

448
00:21:45,560 --> 00:21:48,360
Speaker 1: all love to know. But when you look at Dan Campbell,

449
00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:50,960
Speaker 1: when you I think urban Meyer is not out of

450
00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:53,360
Speaker 1: the box, but it is to a degree because he's

451
00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:56,399
Speaker 1: a college coach, but he's a really good one. You've

452
00:21:56,440 --> 00:21:58,879
Speaker 1: been out of the game, well, he had not been coaching,

453
00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:02,720
Speaker 1: he'd been on TV for while, but did he ever coach?

454
00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:06,960
Speaker 1: I think he coached in the pros for I can't remember, actually,

455
00:22:07,040 --> 00:22:12,800
Speaker 1: I just remember him being a college guy bowling Green, Utah. Yeah,

456
00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:14,480
Speaker 1: so you gotta I want to say he's snuck in

457
00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:17,240
Speaker 1: an NFL year in there, which we've seen Matt Matt

458
00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:19,639
Speaker 1: Rule did that before he ended up going back to

459
00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:21,440
Speaker 1: the NFL. I think he had a year or two

460
00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:23,359
Speaker 1: when he was with the Packers. I think you know

461
00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:25,479
Speaker 1: who else has I think a little bit of NFL

462
00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:28,680
Speaker 1: is James Franklin of Penn State. Yes, yes, he was

463
00:22:28,760 --> 00:22:30,760
Speaker 1: with the Packers, all right. So yeah, so there's that

464
00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:32,399
Speaker 1: that's got to keep your eye on in the future.

465
00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:35,800
Speaker 1: But you're right, you know names that we're because when

466
00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:38,960
Speaker 1: so when when Bill Brown was fired in week four,

467
00:22:39,080 --> 00:22:41,560
Speaker 1: and immediately people are like, Okay, well who's next? Who's next?

468
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:44,920
Speaker 1: He made a list, right, everybody made a list, Eric By,

469
00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:51,800
Speaker 1: Robert Sala, Brian Dable, right, Joe Brady, Matt Eberflus, all

470
00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:55,120
Speaker 1: those five guys, those are the five names hottest as

471
00:22:55,119 --> 00:22:57,960
Speaker 1: I do getting everything anybody, I think those are the

472
00:22:57,960 --> 00:23:02,160
Speaker 1: ones right off the top. Fit one, Arthur Smith. Okay,

473
00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:06,119
Speaker 1: that's six. Two of the six those got head coaching jobs.

474
00:23:06,840 --> 00:23:10,840
Speaker 1: So those and that happens every but it's weird because

475
00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:17,440
Speaker 1: the Colts offensive coordinator Nick Cerrianti rams defensive coordinator. What

476
00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:20,520
Speaker 1: he becomes the Chargers head coach. All right, we've got

477
00:23:20,520 --> 00:23:23,000
Speaker 1: to take a break. But when we come back, more

478
00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:26,120
Speaker 1: on the Texans offseason to do list, which is gonna

479
00:23:26,119 --> 00:23:28,640
Speaker 1: be a little bit different with no combine. Normally we'd

480
00:23:28,680 --> 00:23:30,359
Speaker 1: be gearing up of the combine right now in a

481
00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:32,479
Speaker 1: couple of weeks. Not gonna happen. It's gonna be very

482
00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:37,120
Speaker 1: different this offseason. Plus thoughts on the super Bowl? Who

483
00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:39,400
Speaker 1: are you rooting for? Last night? That's what I wanted,

484
00:23:39,440 --> 00:23:42,439
Speaker 1: a true confessions about the Super Bowl because that was

485
00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:46,639
Speaker 1: bizarre watching what went down last night. It's Texans Radio.

486
00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:52,560
Speaker 1: Can't get enough Texans Radio. We've got shows, We've got podcasts,

487
00:23:52,640 --> 00:24:03,160
Speaker 1: we've got interviews. It's all on Houston Texans dot Com.

488
00:24:03,359 --> 00:24:05,359
Speaker 1: Back to the show that keeps you up to date

489
00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:10,720
Speaker 1: on the Houston Ticks. Tickson's all excess, all right, Johnny's

490
00:24:10,760 --> 00:24:13,840
Speaker 1: talking to me into watching Raiders thirty for thirty. It's awesome.

491
00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:17,359
Speaker 1: Out David's history. It's awesome. It is. It is a

492
00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:21,600
Speaker 1: great history lesson because you go back and go wow,

493
00:24:22,440 --> 00:24:25,040
Speaker 1: How did we get here with the Raiders? But not

494
00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:27,439
Speaker 1: only that, how did we get here with the NFL?

495
00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:32,040
Speaker 1: Why did team why were teams moving? Why did Baltimore

496
00:24:32,119 --> 00:24:35,440
Speaker 1: move to Indianapolis? Why did Cleveland move to Baltimore? And

497
00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:38,600
Speaker 1: it's all sort of kind of summed up. Yeah, it's

498
00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:42,600
Speaker 1: kind of all summed up in this documentary. It's fantastic

499
00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:45,960
Speaker 1: freaking out with everybody saw Vince Lombardi last night, right,

500
00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:48,119
Speaker 1: which was wild? Well that was why I hang on

501
00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:52,400
Speaker 1: a second though. They nailed the visual, but the voice. Yeah,

502
00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:55,840
Speaker 1: I mean what you're right there? How how hard is

503
00:24:55,880 --> 00:24:58,080
Speaker 1: it to get a guy what the hell going out

504
00:24:58,160 --> 00:25:00,600
Speaker 1: around here? Like I can't do that. You can get

505
00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:03,760
Speaker 1: people to do a good Vince Lombardi New York accent,

506
00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:11,119
Speaker 1: and instead you had bin Sean Couttery. Hello, Hello, NFL.

507
00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:15,240
Speaker 1: I mean, what is that voice? That's not Vince Lombardi's voice,

508
00:25:15,280 --> 00:25:17,640
Speaker 1: not even I mean, everyone's gonna understand it's not gonna

509
00:25:17,640 --> 00:25:20,240
Speaker 1: be close. But anyway, this Al Davis versus the NFL

510
00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:24,240
Speaker 1: thirty for thirty, they have a Pete Roselle al Davis

511
00:25:24,520 --> 00:25:30,240
Speaker 1: all right, this because I I don't like it, although

512
00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:34,560
Speaker 1: the winter second thing, wait, hold on what you could

513
00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:38,840
Speaker 1: call Texans games forever. I could I could be immortalized. Yes,

514
00:25:39,119 --> 00:25:41,000
Speaker 1: you could do them. You could do them forever. This

515
00:25:41,160 --> 00:25:43,520
Speaker 1: is gonna be so good. Maybe that technology want to

516
00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:47,560
Speaker 1: speak into a computer. I'm talking about what I'm saying.

517
00:25:47,640 --> 00:25:50,119
Speaker 1: I'm looking at Al Davis. They're showing it studio and

518
00:25:50,240 --> 00:25:54,320
Speaker 1: there's just technologyology. They use some different technology where you

519
00:25:54,520 --> 00:25:58,920
Speaker 1: map their faces and then you overlay it and it's

520
00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:02,440
Speaker 1: it's out. You know, think about all the fake videos

521
00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:05,720
Speaker 1: and fake news and everything. Oh terrible. But anyway, the

522
00:26:05,800 --> 00:26:08,280
Speaker 1: Lombardi thing last night, Look, I thought, like I said,

523
00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:09,840
Speaker 1: I thought they did a hell of a job putting

524
00:26:09,840 --> 00:26:12,399
Speaker 1: on the Super Bowl. They really did in the pandemic

525
00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:15,000
Speaker 1: and everything. I mean, come on, they did a nice

526
00:26:15,080 --> 00:26:18,160
Speaker 1: job yesterday. I might as well go here since we're

527
00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:22,000
Speaker 1: here right now. So now that Brady's not a Patriot

528
00:26:23,280 --> 00:26:27,720
Speaker 1: and he's the old guy forty three years old, you

529
00:26:27,840 --> 00:26:29,960
Speaker 1: know how I feel about the Patriots, Johnny, Yes, I

530
00:26:30,680 --> 00:26:34,159
Speaker 1: don't like them. I hate them like poison. But you

531
00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:36,840
Speaker 1: have sports hate for the Patriots. I have sports at

532
00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:39,879
Speaker 1: these sports hate for the Patriots. But I do like

533
00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:41,080
Speaker 1: a lot of people who work there. You know, we

534
00:26:41,119 --> 00:26:43,760
Speaker 1: have some factot there and everything, but some of them

535
00:26:43,800 --> 00:26:45,879
Speaker 1: are here right now, like Nick, you know whatever. So

536
00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:50,119
Speaker 1: I'm just thinking though, Tom Brady at forty three with

537
00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:52,760
Speaker 1: another team, an NFC team, I got on board, I

538
00:26:52,840 --> 00:26:57,000
Speaker 1: gotta tell you, especially since the Chiefs are in danger

539
00:26:57,200 --> 00:27:00,320
Speaker 1: of becoming the new Patriots, the new nemesis in the

540
00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:03,440
Speaker 1: conference that you got to deal with. And you know,

541
00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:06,960
Speaker 1: I like again, Mahomes is very likable. You know, Andy

542
00:27:07,040 --> 00:27:11,879
Speaker 1: Reid is likable. But I hate the Chiefs. I hate

543
00:27:11,920 --> 00:27:14,399
Speaker 1: the Chiefs, so I wanted them to go down. And

544
00:27:14,480 --> 00:27:16,400
Speaker 1: at the same time I got to see old guy

545
00:27:16,560 --> 00:27:20,440
Speaker 1: Tom do it outperform young guy Mahomes. Now, I know

546
00:27:20,520 --> 00:27:22,800
Speaker 1: it's not apples to apples and the offensive line issues

547
00:27:22,840 --> 00:27:26,000
Speaker 1: with the Chiefs and everything like that, but Tom Brady

548
00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:29,640
Speaker 1: walks into the room and the culture changes. It's that simple, really,

549
00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:33,040
Speaker 1: and all the work he puts in, every nobody wants

550
00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:36,479
Speaker 1: to disappoint him. The defense plays better when Patriot when

551
00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:38,879
Speaker 1: the Brady's on the team. So let me ask you this,

552
00:27:40,080 --> 00:27:42,920
Speaker 1: did you find yourself last night? Let's let's go. It's

553
00:27:43,040 --> 00:27:46,359
Speaker 1: it's seven to three and Brady goes back to pass

554
00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:49,720
Speaker 1: and he's looking looking, looking yeah, and all of a sudden,

555
00:27:49,840 --> 00:27:55,840
Speaker 1: Grount breaks free. Did you cheer? No, I don't see

556
00:27:55,920 --> 00:27:58,840
Speaker 1: that's the one anything. No, No, I was happy the

557
00:27:58,920 --> 00:28:02,560
Speaker 1: Bucks scored, but I was like Gronk because Brady to Gronk,

558
00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:05,879
Speaker 1: I don't like, because that's two patriot ish Brady on

559
00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:10,480
Speaker 1: another team with all different guys. Okay, but with Gronk there,

560
00:28:10,560 --> 00:28:12,479
Speaker 1: it's a little too. It would be like Edelman being

561
00:28:12,560 --> 00:28:14,600
Speaker 1: on the box too. No, no, no, no, I can't

562
00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:17,360
Speaker 1: have that. But look I accepted it because I had

563
00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:20,280
Speaker 1: to have the Chiefs lose last night. You know, everybody

564
00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:23,560
Speaker 1: has has such bravado involved with the Kansas City Chiefs

565
00:28:23,640 --> 00:28:25,639
Speaker 1: organization right now, and look, believe me, I would too.

566
00:28:25,840 --> 00:28:28,080
Speaker 1: So I admit I'm glad you said that. I'm glad

567
00:28:28,119 --> 00:28:30,480
Speaker 1: you won't. You won't out anybody. I know you won't.

568
00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:35,080
Speaker 1: But oh but I was. I was very I was

569
00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:37,879
Speaker 1: driving up to get tested this morning and Sean and

570
00:28:37,960 --> 00:28:42,960
Speaker 1: Seth had a segment in which Kevin Harley, well, there's

571
00:28:43,680 --> 00:28:46,600
Speaker 1: was a streaker, Um, some idiot went on the field

572
00:28:46,680 --> 00:28:50,240
Speaker 1: last night. Yeah, and Kevin Harden's like he's got a

573
00:28:50,440 --> 00:28:53,880
Speaker 1: bra on bra It was like it was like a

574
00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:58,880
Speaker 1: boar at Onesie and his shorts fell down. Harland did

575
00:28:58,920 --> 00:29:02,200
Speaker 1: it perfectly. He did it. Yeah. See Chiefs broadcast was

576
00:29:02,360 --> 00:29:05,440
Speaker 1: not quite in the it's such a funny mood at

577
00:29:05,480 --> 00:29:10,880
Speaker 1: that point. They were not down with it. Oh yeah,

578
00:29:11,360 --> 00:29:14,520
Speaker 1: it was Harlan's doing an objective broadcast where he's just

579
00:29:14,560 --> 00:29:17,440
Speaker 1: having a good walk out of there are feeling. Harlan

580
00:29:17,560 --> 00:29:19,240
Speaker 1: is the former voice of the Chiefs. By the way,

581
00:29:19,600 --> 00:29:22,160
Speaker 1: Harlan used to do Chiefs games before Mitch holtis the

582
00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:27,600
Speaker 1: current guy. Right. Anyways, the Chiefs. Look, I love Andy Reid.

583
00:29:27,840 --> 00:29:30,320
Speaker 1: I've known people that worked for Andy. They adore him,

584
00:29:30,360 --> 00:29:33,560
Speaker 1: they love him, and I mean, I think fantastic. There

585
00:29:33,640 --> 00:29:37,760
Speaker 1: are plenty of Chiefs players and the Chiefs. The Chiefs

586
00:29:37,920 --> 00:29:42,000
Speaker 1: fans got just oh there's something about them last couple years.

587
00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:44,080
Speaker 1: I remember when we went up there Week six last year,

588
00:29:45,440 --> 00:29:48,840
Speaker 1: they had they had gotten the Cults beat them the

589
00:29:48,960 --> 00:29:52,160
Speaker 1: Sunday night before, right right, they beat him up physically,

590
00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:55,760
Speaker 1: and I just remember reading comments from the Chiefs fans

591
00:29:55,880 --> 00:30:00,160
Speaker 1: like I thought they were gonna just team. It was

592
00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:02,640
Speaker 1: just loaded with everything, loaded with it. And then we

593
00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:05,200
Speaker 1: went in and just kicked them up and down the field.

594
00:30:05,280 --> 00:30:09,000
Speaker 1: I mean, it was physically beaten up. And it was

595
00:30:09,080 --> 00:30:12,120
Speaker 1: like one excuse after the other. Yeah, it was like

596
00:30:12,520 --> 00:30:15,800
Speaker 1: and then when they won it, it became And then

597
00:30:15,840 --> 00:30:17,600
Speaker 1: of course they followed it up this year with being

598
00:30:17,680 --> 00:30:20,680
Speaker 1: as good as the Chiefs were. They were incorrigible. It

599
00:30:20,840 --> 00:30:23,440
Speaker 1: was like, like, you guys are not the greatest team

600
00:30:23,560 --> 00:30:26,240
Speaker 1: since sliced bread, and somebody at some point he's gonna

601
00:30:26,280 --> 00:30:29,480
Speaker 1: pop you. The Browns had an opportunity and couldn't finish.

602
00:30:29,520 --> 00:30:32,680
Speaker 1: The Browns had an opportunity but couldn't finish you. I

603
00:30:32,720 --> 00:30:34,400
Speaker 1: have a point to make about that. But I also

604
00:30:34,920 --> 00:30:37,520
Speaker 1: have a theory. I feel like I haven't been on

605
00:30:37,560 --> 00:30:40,240
Speaker 1: the air like six weeks. We have true I have

606
00:30:40,360 --> 00:30:42,880
Speaker 1: a theory about the fan base thing that you just

607
00:30:42,960 --> 00:30:47,000
Speaker 1: pointed out. Any team's fan base, any team that has

608
00:30:47,120 --> 00:30:50,200
Speaker 1: that kind of success, their fan base is going to

609
00:30:50,280 --> 00:30:52,920
Speaker 1: be intolerable. All right. It doesn't matter who it is.

610
00:30:53,520 --> 00:30:58,440
Speaker 1: Longhorn fan base. When the Longhorns are good, intolerable, aggies intolerable. Okay,

611
00:30:58,720 --> 00:31:01,960
Speaker 1: you wag intoller mora Bowl? All right, Texans, give me

612
00:31:02,040 --> 00:31:04,440
Speaker 1: a Super Bowl. I'll be intolerable too, all right, I

613
00:31:04,600 --> 00:31:08,280
Speaker 1: promise you. We're every fan base out there that has

614
00:31:09,240 --> 00:31:12,320
Speaker 1: Patriots fans, are you get into Cowboys? Don't even get me.

615
00:31:12,480 --> 00:31:14,720
Speaker 1: They're intolerable and they don't even have success for twenty

616
00:31:14,760 --> 00:31:17,520
Speaker 1: five years. Look, the Chiefs fan base is great. They

617
00:31:17,560 --> 00:31:21,960
Speaker 1: are rabid. They are there early. There is a button

618
00:31:22,040 --> 00:31:25,520
Speaker 1: a seat when twelve noon hits and let's kickoff. We

619
00:31:25,920 --> 00:31:29,600
Speaker 1: saw that in week six. My favorite fans story ever

620
00:31:29,920 --> 00:31:33,640
Speaker 1: actually didn't even happen at the actual stadium. This is

621
00:31:33,640 --> 00:31:36,880
Speaker 1: the last year playoff game. So we go over on

622
00:31:36,960 --> 00:31:38,720
Speaker 1: the bus and that day it was kind of gray

623
00:31:38,760 --> 00:31:41,720
Speaker 1: and cloudy and it was chilly, and so we're driving

624
00:31:41,800 --> 00:31:43,800
Speaker 1: over and you go on. I don't know what the

625
00:31:43,880 --> 00:31:45,760
Speaker 1: highway is, Highways seventy, higher, thirty. I don't know what

626
00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:47,760
Speaker 1: it is. But we're on the highway. We're all on

627
00:31:47,800 --> 00:31:49,960
Speaker 1: the bus. I think the first buses go. It's like

628
00:31:50,080 --> 00:31:53,480
Speaker 1: two buses go. And so I'm in a second bus

629
00:31:53,520 --> 00:31:55,480
Speaker 1: and I'm just looking out and there's some snow on

630
00:31:55,560 --> 00:31:58,360
Speaker 1: the ground and we could kind of drive on the

631
00:31:58,480 --> 00:32:03,680
Speaker 1: highway past kind of a neighborhood. And so we see

632
00:32:03,760 --> 00:32:07,680
Speaker 1: this guy this nice house. This guy comes running out

633
00:32:07,760 --> 00:32:12,320
Speaker 1: and he's got pajama pants on. He's got a Mahomes jersey,

634
00:32:12,440 --> 00:32:16,480
Speaker 1: on and he literally the sidewalk brings him all the

635
00:32:16,560 --> 00:32:21,560
Speaker 1: way to like this fence that separates the highway from

636
00:32:22,080 --> 00:32:24,719
Speaker 1: the housing. And I'm telling you, you see the door

637
00:32:24,760 --> 00:32:27,600
Speaker 1: fly open. You see this guy just run out, literally

638
00:32:27,680 --> 00:32:30,400
Speaker 1: just run to the end of the sidewalk and then

639
00:32:30,480 --> 00:32:32,920
Speaker 1: all of a sudden just throws double birds at both

640
00:32:33,040 --> 00:32:36,920
Speaker 1: buses going by. It was we were playing like two

641
00:32:37,120 --> 00:32:39,880
Speaker 1: So this is probably nine thirty ten o'clock in the morning.

642
00:32:39,920 --> 00:32:44,640
Speaker 1: It is Pj's just running out, just like just giving

643
00:32:44,640 --> 00:32:46,800
Speaker 1: it to every He knows the route, he knows the

644
00:32:46,840 --> 00:32:50,160
Speaker 1: bus route. Does I know? He knows it exactly. It's

645
00:32:50,200 --> 00:32:52,640
Speaker 1: exactly right. He knew the bus route, he knew were coming.

646
00:32:54,800 --> 00:32:57,959
Speaker 1: That's a good point. I was a little surprised when

647
00:32:57,960 --> 00:33:00,720
Speaker 1: I thought about what he was doing. The bus arrival

648
00:33:00,800 --> 00:33:02,520
Speaker 1: was one of my favorite things because you never know

649
00:33:02,600 --> 00:33:06,440
Speaker 1: what's gonna happen. Hey, you have no idea. Philly, Oh,

650
00:33:06,560 --> 00:33:09,960
Speaker 1: Philly was awesome. You never played phil every eight years.

651
00:33:10,040 --> 00:33:13,440
Speaker 1: You haven't lived till you've taken the bus into Morgantown,

652
00:33:13,560 --> 00:33:17,160
Speaker 1: West Virginia with the Miami Hurricanes and little old ladies

653
00:33:17,600 --> 00:33:20,160
Speaker 1: literally little old ladies flipping you the bird. I'm thinking

654
00:33:20,680 --> 00:33:23,600
Speaker 1: God bless West Virginia. Now I love West Virginia, you

655
00:33:23,680 --> 00:33:27,600
Speaker 1: know that because I love the Greenbrier. In fact, we

656
00:33:27,720 --> 00:33:29,720
Speaker 1: start that rumor we're going back deep. I saw Nick

657
00:33:29,760 --> 00:33:33,160
Speaker 1: Assari on the hallway last weekend, like it took everything

658
00:33:33,240 --> 00:33:34,880
Speaker 1: I had not to say, please send us back to

659
00:33:34,880 --> 00:33:39,680
Speaker 1: the yes like before welcome and hello and and you

660
00:33:39,720 --> 00:33:41,560
Speaker 1: know I met him on zoom and we've talked a

661
00:33:41,600 --> 00:33:46,080
Speaker 1: little bit on but greener. But I never got away

662
00:33:46,080 --> 00:33:50,440
Speaker 1: in March. Yeah, Mark, Mark, whatever, Greenbriar, I'm nobody just

663
00:33:50,680 --> 00:33:54,920
Speaker 1: Greenbrier anyway. Uh, the divisional game with the Browns and Chiefs.

664
00:33:55,200 --> 00:33:57,760
Speaker 1: Mahomes had the concussion in that game, right or evaluated

665
00:33:57,840 --> 00:34:02,640
Speaker 1: for a concussion, and he played the rest of the game. Look,

666
00:34:03,120 --> 00:34:06,040
Speaker 1: I'm not conspiracy guy, and I'm sure he passed all

667
00:34:06,080 --> 00:34:08,880
Speaker 1: the protocols, baseline, whatever the tests are they give him.

668
00:34:09,080 --> 00:34:10,839
Speaker 1: He didn't look right to me last night. And it's

669
00:34:10,920 --> 00:34:12,960
Speaker 1: not just a toe. You and I can debate all day.

670
00:34:13,120 --> 00:34:17,239
Speaker 1: I thought, Look, he ran around, he threw a ball

671
00:34:17,520 --> 00:34:20,840
Speaker 1: in mid air on a rope that hit a receiver

672
00:34:21,040 --> 00:34:23,920
Speaker 1: in the face, a thirty yard rope while he was

673
00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:26,640
Speaker 1: falling down and got nothing. Got it. He had the

674
00:34:26,800 --> 00:34:29,080
Speaker 1: physical goods. I feel like I can do that with

675
00:34:29,200 --> 00:34:32,680
Speaker 1: his arm though, Yeah, but I feel like, yeah, but

676
00:34:32,760 --> 00:34:35,080
Speaker 1: he got outside the pocket a few times he did

677
00:34:35,160 --> 00:34:36,560
Speaker 1: as he was limping. And part of the time he

678
00:34:36,640 --> 00:34:38,600
Speaker 1: got outside the pocket is because the Bucks, which I

679
00:34:38,800 --> 00:34:42,000
Speaker 1: thought was a great wrinkle, Well the Bucks put a

680
00:34:42,080 --> 00:34:44,520
Speaker 1: couple of the big guys outside. Yeah, so that at

681
00:34:44,560 --> 00:34:47,640
Speaker 1: one point they had Vita Vaya outside, who's like five

682
00:34:47,760 --> 00:34:50,640
Speaker 1: hundred pounds, and then they had Jason Pierre Paul on

683
00:34:50,719 --> 00:34:53,960
Speaker 1: the inside. And you know that. I mean, we don't

684
00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:56,320
Speaker 1: have a Vita Va. But in nineteen when Charles a

685
00:34:56,360 --> 00:34:58,000
Speaker 1: man who has the big sack, where did he get it?

686
00:34:58,080 --> 00:35:00,359
Speaker 1: He got it when he went inside. Well, Ja Pierre

687
00:35:00,440 --> 00:35:02,520
Speaker 1: Paul's kind of a I mean, Charles manner was kind

688
00:35:02,560 --> 00:35:04,160
Speaker 1: of all right, who was outside? When I meant who

689
00:35:04,200 --> 00:35:07,480
Speaker 1: was outside the movement for us? For us, I don't remember.

690
00:35:07,560 --> 00:35:08,840
Speaker 1: I think it may have been why I think I

691
00:35:09,440 --> 00:35:13,719
Speaker 1: JJ so, could they have had reader outside? Could have

692
00:35:13,760 --> 00:35:15,879
Speaker 1: been we didn't do that exact thing. But the thought

693
00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:19,360
Speaker 1: was they wanted to get Pierre Paul and guards, and

694
00:35:19,520 --> 00:35:22,760
Speaker 1: by putting Veya outside, they knew Veya would just crush

695
00:35:22,800 --> 00:35:25,359
Speaker 1: the tackle. You I mean Mahomes would have to rush

696
00:35:25,400 --> 00:35:27,279
Speaker 1: the bubble. Yeah, and then they just sat in a

697
00:35:27,320 --> 00:35:29,399
Speaker 1: two shell night and we're like, we're gonna take this away.

698
00:35:29,400 --> 00:35:32,440
Speaker 1: I thought one of the great things they did was

699
00:35:32,760 --> 00:35:35,560
Speaker 1: if Kelsey and if Kelsey and Tyrek were on the

700
00:35:35,640 --> 00:35:40,760
Speaker 1: same side, they would make sure that four guys playing

701
00:35:40,800 --> 00:35:44,240
Speaker 1: in a zone were over that that two players side,

702
00:35:44,800 --> 00:35:46,960
Speaker 1: because by the time that Mahomes looked over there and

703
00:35:47,120 --> 00:35:48,799
Speaker 1: was like, I can't get this to anybody to pass

704
00:35:48,880 --> 00:35:51,160
Speaker 1: rushes on him, he couldn't get to the other side, right.

705
00:35:51,400 --> 00:35:53,600
Speaker 1: And that was brilliant. And that's what I've said it

706
00:35:53,640 --> 00:35:56,040
Speaker 1: a million times. Agot these guys, you got it. I

707
00:35:56,080 --> 00:35:58,480
Speaker 1: don't care how you do it any Kelsey and Hill.

708
00:35:58,520 --> 00:36:00,440
Speaker 1: You got to slow them down in some ways they perform.

709
00:36:00,600 --> 00:36:02,560
Speaker 1: So they learned from the first one. You can't leave

710
00:36:02,600 --> 00:36:04,719
Speaker 1: you guys out on islands against Tyreek, but if you

711
00:36:04,800 --> 00:36:07,120
Speaker 1: play four over two, which is what they did. It

712
00:36:07,200 --> 00:36:09,879
Speaker 1: was brilliant and they learned from that first one, which

713
00:36:09,880 --> 00:36:12,279
Speaker 1: I thought was great. Here's the other one. We said

714
00:36:12,320 --> 00:36:14,520
Speaker 1: this a million times. If you're gonna beat the Chief,

715
00:36:14,560 --> 00:36:17,000
Speaker 1: you better slowed on Kelsey. You better slow him down.

716
00:36:17,400 --> 00:36:19,520
Speaker 1: Tyreek can do I mean Tyre Kid two touchdowns against

717
00:36:19,600 --> 00:36:22,160
Speaker 1: us in that game we won. We slowed down Kelsey.

718
00:36:22,280 --> 00:36:24,480
Speaker 1: Now we did it with a bunch of safe, bunch

719
00:36:24,520 --> 00:36:27,839
Speaker 1: of catches, but but slowed him down, right, How did

720
00:36:28,120 --> 00:36:29,560
Speaker 1: how did the Bucks do it? For the most part

721
00:36:29,680 --> 00:36:32,400
Speaker 1: last night, he was just getting short stuff. Vante David

722
00:36:33,360 --> 00:36:41,080
Speaker 1: linebacker that Devin White, the rut the tackle he makes

723
00:36:41,120 --> 00:36:45,000
Speaker 1: on Clyde Edwards Hilaire where he actually false steps and

724
00:36:45,320 --> 00:36:48,839
Speaker 1: still gets to the outside tackles Clydewards Hilaire. For It's

725
00:36:48,880 --> 00:36:50,719
Speaker 1: like I knew we could run are you? Are you

726
00:36:50,800 --> 00:36:52,160
Speaker 1: with me? Though? The chief should have run the ball

727
00:36:52,200 --> 00:36:54,560
Speaker 1: a little bit more, but should have hindsight, should have.

728
00:36:54,680 --> 00:36:59,080
Speaker 1: But then you're running against Vaya and Pure Paul. They

729
00:36:59,120 --> 00:37:00,960
Speaker 1: couldn't get to those two linebackers. Those guys are going

730
00:37:01,000 --> 00:37:04,000
Speaker 1: to run everything down. It was a tough defense when

731
00:37:04,040 --> 00:37:06,919
Speaker 1: we played Tampa last year. When we went to Tampa

732
00:37:07,040 --> 00:37:08,520
Speaker 1: last year, you and I were on a plane like

733
00:37:09,120 --> 00:37:11,680
Speaker 1: a defensive no joke. Now, now we knew that defense

734
00:37:11,760 --> 00:37:14,520
Speaker 1: was good. They got some players. They were very good.

735
00:37:14,960 --> 00:37:17,160
Speaker 1: Devin White was he was He's a rookie, so you

736
00:37:17,160 --> 00:37:20,360
Speaker 1: could tell there wasn't much there. But we knew Sue

737
00:37:20,640 --> 00:37:24,400
Speaker 1: in thea pure Paul Shack Barrett. Remember, even with Winston,

738
00:37:24,480 --> 00:37:26,719
Speaker 1: the offense was high flying for a while. They had

739
00:37:26,760 --> 00:37:28,359
Speaker 1: won what four in a row, and we played them.

740
00:37:28,480 --> 00:37:30,960
Speaker 1: Zack Winston throw all those picks. But they add four

741
00:37:31,080 --> 00:37:34,879
Speaker 1: nette and good for him, right, I mean they added

742
00:37:34,920 --> 00:37:38,080
Speaker 1: a quarterback too, just at pretty good? All right? Next up,

743
00:37:38,320 --> 00:37:41,359

757
00:38:32,960 --> 00:38:35,520

758
00:38:35,560 --> 00:38:38,840
Speaker 1: one I haven't. I haven't seen that I can remember,

759
00:38:38,920 --> 00:38:42,040
Speaker 1: but I will. I will admit. They were all just

760
00:38:43,440 --> 00:38:46,360
Speaker 1: being fired from all different locations. And I was in

761
00:38:46,440 --> 00:38:48,479
Speaker 1: Mobile and I was trying to focus on Senior Bowl.

762
00:38:48,560 --> 00:38:52,200
Speaker 1: And then David was hired, and I want to say,

763
00:38:52,239 --> 00:38:55,200
Speaker 1: I was watching his press conference and I was still

764
00:38:55,200 --> 00:38:57,880
Speaker 1: in Mobile, so all that was going on there, it was,

765
00:38:58,320 --> 00:39:01,120
Speaker 1: it was it's nit. The thing is is when a

766
00:39:01,160 --> 00:39:03,880
Speaker 1: coach gets hired and the staff comes along. I mean

767
00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:06,360
Speaker 1: it is like bing bang. I mean it is happening

768
00:39:06,800 --> 00:39:08,600
Speaker 1: all over the place. Wait, this guy's saying this, this

769
00:39:08,719 --> 00:39:11,439
Speaker 1: guy's saying this. Just kind of have to wait until

770
00:39:11,480 --> 00:39:13,360
Speaker 1: everything shakes out. But that's the one I have not

771
00:39:13,560 --> 00:39:16,279
Speaker 1: heard his offensive line. Here's how I look at any

772
00:39:16,520 --> 00:39:20,880
Speaker 1: offseason moves by any team. Really, Okay, there's what you

773
00:39:21,000 --> 00:39:23,279
Speaker 1: do with the off season and how people react to it,

774
00:39:23,480 --> 00:39:28,040
Speaker 1: right which, obviously, judging from you know, the general reaction,

775
00:39:28,400 --> 00:39:31,399
Speaker 1: it's not exactly like setting the marquis of flame right here.

776
00:39:31,719 --> 00:39:34,399
Speaker 1: I understand that, and I'll admit that. And look, I've

777
00:39:34,440 --> 00:39:39,440
Speaker 1: admitted that before about things this organization is done, but

778
00:39:39,680 --> 00:39:42,840
Speaker 1: very often, not very often, but sometimes they've done the

779
00:39:42,960 --> 00:39:45,080
Speaker 1: unpopular thing and it works out really well, like two

780
00:39:45,160 --> 00:39:47,480
Speaker 1: thousand and six, you know, And I was asking people like,

781
00:39:47,800 --> 00:39:49,440
Speaker 1: how does this compare to two thousand and six in

782
00:39:49,480 --> 00:39:51,480
Speaker 1: your mind? Because I just want to get some different perspectives,

783
00:39:51,480 --> 00:39:53,560
Speaker 1: because look, I was on these air waves in the

784
00:39:53,640 --> 00:39:56,239
Speaker 1: afternoon with Rich Lord during two thousand and six offseason,

785
00:39:56,320 --> 00:40:00,280
Speaker 1: and even though Gary ubi Gary Kubiak was just high tired,

786
00:40:00,480 --> 00:40:03,960
Speaker 1: We're all very happy about that, but we immediately jumped

787
00:40:04,000 --> 00:40:07,839
Speaker 1: into this whole Vy Reggie Bush, not Mario Williams, wasn't

788
00:40:07,840 --> 00:40:12,439
Speaker 1: even an equation. It was Vy Reggie oh Rich was yeah,

789
00:40:12,440 --> 00:40:15,320
Speaker 1: I mean, and McClain too, all right, And it was

790
00:40:15,400 --> 00:40:17,600
Speaker 1: like Invasion of the body Snatchers. And I love Vince,

791
00:40:17,680 --> 00:40:21,000
Speaker 1: I really do. I think Vince that Rose Bowl where

792
00:40:21,000 --> 00:40:23,000
Speaker 1: he won the national championship. The one over Michigan was

793
00:40:23,040 --> 00:40:26,120
Speaker 1: pretty good too, but the National Championship was maybe the

794
00:40:26,160 --> 00:40:28,279
Speaker 1: greatest college game I've ever seen. And I'm you know,

795
00:40:28,400 --> 00:40:30,080
Speaker 1: I used to be a college annunsler for a pretty

796
00:40:30,080 --> 00:40:33,279
Speaker 1: good team, so all that great. But I was like, look,

797
00:40:33,680 --> 00:40:36,560
Speaker 1: you know, I I really believed honestly that you know,

798
00:40:37,239 --> 00:40:39,920
Speaker 1: David needed a shot with Gary Kubiak, and they did too,

799
00:40:40,040 --> 00:40:42,399
Speaker 1: and obviously that didn't work out. So you know, maybe

800
00:40:42,520 --> 00:40:44,080
Speaker 1: Vy would have been different with Gary. But the whole

801
00:40:44,120 --> 00:40:48,160
Speaker 1: point is this that offseason wasn't really popular, uh to

802
00:40:49,040 --> 00:40:52,680
Speaker 1: lean toward Reggie Bush and then really not popular gonna

803
00:40:52,719 --> 00:40:58,880
Speaker 1: take Mario Williams the night Yeah, well, well and then

804
00:40:59,000 --> 00:41:01,719
Speaker 1: on in the season, so that the whole thing stretched out,

805
00:41:02,200 --> 00:41:05,319
Speaker 1: and you know, it didn't resolve great for anybody. Look, Mari,

806
00:41:05,440 --> 00:41:08,080
Speaker 1: Mario turned out to be the right pick. You know, now,

807
00:41:08,120 --> 00:41:10,799
Speaker 1: if you had three four years of success with Vince,

808
00:41:10,800 --> 00:41:12,839
Speaker 1: I could still argue today that that would have been nice,

809
00:41:13,239 --> 00:41:14,919
Speaker 1: you know, to do some of those things with Vince.

810
00:41:15,120 --> 00:41:19,040
Speaker 1: But look as overall, you pick the guy who, out

811
00:41:19,080 --> 00:41:23,200
Speaker 1: of those three has had the best career, right, I mean,

812
00:41:23,239 --> 00:41:26,080
Speaker 1: I'm not. I mean, it hasn't been a tremendous career.

813
00:41:26,320 --> 00:41:28,440
Speaker 1: I feel like Mario was on track to do some

814
00:41:28,560 --> 00:41:30,440
Speaker 1: really great things had he not gotten hurt in week

815
00:41:30,480 --> 00:41:33,960
Speaker 1: five and twenty eleven years that it hurt him so

816
00:41:34,120 --> 00:41:37,959
Speaker 1: bad because he was on nearly a Hall of Fame track.

817
00:41:38,000 --> 00:41:41,160
Speaker 1: When you look at the numbers, just the raw numbers

818
00:41:41,280 --> 00:41:43,160
Speaker 1: of it, and then you know he gets the huge

819
00:41:43,200 --> 00:41:45,120
Speaker 1: deal with Buffalo. It's never quite the same. We don't

820
00:41:45,120 --> 00:41:48,200
Speaker 1: have to recite all that, but sometimes Gary Kubiak in

821
00:41:48,280 --> 00:41:51,760
Speaker 1: twenty ten, let's go to that they don't fire Gary Kubiak.

822
00:41:52,000 --> 00:41:57,120
Speaker 1: Fans are just furious about that. People don't remember. They're

823
00:41:57,239 --> 00:42:01,560
Speaker 1: furious about that. Wade gets hired out, and you know,

824
00:42:01,640 --> 00:42:03,880
Speaker 1: it's not exactly quiet during the offseason, but there's no

825
00:42:04,000 --> 00:42:06,480
Speaker 1: football news other than the draft itself, and then things

826
00:42:06,560 --> 00:42:08,239
Speaker 1: really work out well the next year. Look, I don't

827
00:42:08,239 --> 00:42:10,040
Speaker 1: know how the guy they drafted in twenty eleven was

828
00:42:10,080 --> 00:42:12,759
Speaker 1: not welcome with open arms. Yeah, he was kind of

829
00:42:12,840 --> 00:42:15,000
Speaker 1: not booed by everybody that saw him on draft night,

830
00:42:15,520 --> 00:42:17,920
Speaker 1: and that you know worked out pretty well. Yeah. The

831
00:42:18,040 --> 00:42:19,879
Speaker 1: point is this, I don't know how this is gonna

832
00:42:19,920 --> 00:42:23,080
Speaker 1: play out. You know, it no matter who you hire,

833
00:42:23,480 --> 00:42:28,840
Speaker 1: whether it's b Enemy or Sala or David Culley, whoever

834
00:42:28,920 --> 00:42:32,040
Speaker 1: you hire, it almost doesn't matter. And I mean it

835
00:42:32,160 --> 00:42:34,280
Speaker 1: does matter in terms of the way it plays publicly,

836
00:42:34,360 --> 00:42:36,680
Speaker 1: I guess, but you know that is kind of irrelevant

837
00:42:37,040 --> 00:42:39,680
Speaker 1: until you kick the ball and then you see what

838
00:42:39,800 --> 00:42:42,120
Speaker 1: the actual results are of what you've done. Look, it

839
00:42:42,200 --> 00:42:44,279
Speaker 1: could be maybe it doesn't work at all. You know,

840
00:42:44,400 --> 00:42:46,600
Speaker 1: maybe it works great. The point is we all have

841
00:42:46,640 --> 00:42:49,719
Speaker 1: a reaction to it right now, good or bad. You know,

842
00:42:49,840 --> 00:42:51,920
Speaker 1: you might hire the next Vince Lombardi, you might not.

843
00:42:52,320 --> 00:42:54,799
Speaker 1: But the point is when you kick the balls when

844
00:42:54,800 --> 00:42:56,600
Speaker 1: it really matters. But we got six months to talk

845
00:42:56,600 --> 00:42:58,399
Speaker 1: about it, so I know we're gonna have left to say, yeah,

846
00:42:58,440 --> 00:43:01,000
Speaker 1: there's there. You're right. I think I don't think I

847
00:43:01,080 --> 00:43:03,640
Speaker 1: made that point really well. But I'll be getting it

848
00:43:03,719 --> 00:43:06,200
Speaker 1: every every night, six to seven pm. Right here, I'll

849
00:43:06,200 --> 00:43:10,120
Speaker 1: be making that same interest. How many times have we

850
00:43:10,280 --> 00:43:13,080
Speaker 1: heard teams winning the off season have done jack squat

851
00:43:13,200 --> 00:43:16,560
Speaker 1: and during the season. Yeah, I mean that's essentially it. Now.

852
00:43:17,480 --> 00:43:21,120
Speaker 1: It may be that the it may be that you

853
00:43:21,200 --> 00:43:24,600
Speaker 1: quote unquote lost the off season, he loses during the season.

854
00:43:24,680 --> 00:43:26,560
Speaker 1: It happens. But we've seen a lot of teams. Remember

855
00:43:26,560 --> 00:43:29,720
Speaker 1: the Browns two years ago, O. B. J. John Dorsey,

856
00:43:30,000 --> 00:43:32,680
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield. There was all this love and the Browns

857
00:43:32,719 --> 00:43:35,000
Speaker 1: are gonna be the next thing since greatest thinks it

858
00:43:35,080 --> 00:43:37,680
Speaker 1: sliced bread and then turn into a six and ten

859
00:43:37,760 --> 00:43:39,920
Speaker 1: team or whatever. But a year later they get it

860
00:43:39,960 --> 00:43:41,680
Speaker 1: going and who knows, and look, we haven't. We haven't

861
00:43:41,680 --> 00:43:44,120
Speaker 1: talked about this, Sean. Look, I want them to kisshim. Makeup.

862
00:43:44,600 --> 00:43:46,960
Speaker 1: This is me Texans guy right here. I want this.

863
00:43:48,080 --> 00:43:50,520
Speaker 1: You know. It's like my parents are fighting. Okay. I

864
00:43:50,719 --> 00:43:53,440
Speaker 1: want this thing to resolve itself, and I want Watson

865
00:43:53,480 --> 00:43:56,320
Speaker 1: to play and everybody to be happy about it, and

866
00:43:56,880 --> 00:43:58,520
Speaker 1: let's just hope for the very best. I mean, they've

867
00:43:58,520 --> 00:44:01,400
Speaker 1: been very clear to us, you know, to everybody publicly

868
00:44:01,480 --> 00:44:04,280
Speaker 1: and to us privately. They're not trading to Sean. Okay,

869
00:44:04,320 --> 00:44:08,040
Speaker 1: I mean Watson's here, so all right, great, Watson's here now,

870
00:44:08,040 --> 00:44:09,719
Speaker 1: I know that he has you know, I guess you

871
00:44:09,760 --> 00:44:12,719
Speaker 1: could call it options. But again, I feel like I'm

872
00:44:12,719 --> 00:44:17,200
Speaker 1: in the household and mom and dad stop arguing. Welcome together. Well,

873
00:44:17,239 --> 00:44:19,040
Speaker 1: my mom and dad used to fight. I wanted to

874
00:44:19,120 --> 00:44:21,800
Speaker 1: make waffles for them. I couldn't do it, but I

875
00:44:21,880 --> 00:44:24,439
Speaker 1: wanted to. I felt like that would solve I felt

876
00:44:24,440 --> 00:44:25,960
Speaker 1: like that would solve the deal. If we could get

877
00:44:26,000 --> 00:44:29,719
Speaker 1: everybody together over Johnny's waffles. Everything's fine, Yeah, it just sounded.

878
00:44:30,000 --> 00:44:32,440
Speaker 1: Oh man, I made some really good chicken sandwiches yesterday

879
00:44:32,440 --> 00:44:34,200
Speaker 1: for the Super Bowl. By the way, I really sure
