1
00:00:00,840 --> 00:00:05,000
Speaker 1: Five nights a week. They hits keep on coming on

2
00:00:05,120 --> 00:00:08,880
Speaker 1: the Texas say they have it and they do. No,

3
00:00:09,520 --> 00:00:14,720
Speaker 1: it's Texans, all Exans. Oh yes it is, ladies and gentlemen.

4
00:00:14,920 --> 00:00:18,599
Speaker 1: Good evening, Texans. Mark van Damer with you from my home,

5
00:00:19,079 --> 00:00:23,239
Speaker 1: and most broadcasts originally originating from people's homes, and that's

6
00:00:23,239 --> 00:00:25,880
Speaker 1: what we're doing as John McClean is at his home,

7
00:00:25,960 --> 00:00:28,520
Speaker 1: I believe, and it's great to have mod the general

8
00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:30,800
Speaker 1: from the Houston Chronicle. Jock, good evening. How are you doing.

9
00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:34,680
Speaker 1: I'm doing great, Mark. I'm actually on my patio soaking

10
00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:37,519
Speaker 1: up the last a little cool weather we're gonna have,

11
00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:41,239
Speaker 1: and I'll try not to have to rush off like

12
00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:44,320
Speaker 1: I did with you last week. And I apologize for that.

13
00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:47,720
Speaker 1: Well it was. It was a little scary, John, because

14
00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:51,800
Speaker 1: you did not only rush off, you actually vaporized, you disappeared.

15
00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:54,280
Speaker 1: And it was for a good reason. You were breaking

16
00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:57,000
Speaker 1: a story about Brandon Cook signing or being traded to

17
00:00:57,120 --> 00:00:59,760
Speaker 1: the Houston Texans. So that was pretty cool. So I'm

18
00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:01,800
Speaker 1: glad everything where he worked out all right. And Bill

19
00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:03,880
Speaker 1: O'Brien spoke to the media today. I know you've written

20
00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:05,800
Speaker 1: about it and tweeted about it. But what was your

21
00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:08,880
Speaker 1: biggest takeaway from the Bill O'Brien press conference, which lasted

22
00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:13,039
Speaker 1: about an hour. Since the combine, he had not talked

23
00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:16,520
Speaker 1: to the media. His only public comments were to you

24
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:20,080
Speaker 1: at your town hall meeting with season ticket holders, and

25
00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:23,840
Speaker 1: he amplified on that. And of course, DeAndre Hopkins was

26
00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:28,360
Speaker 1: a big part of the fifty three minute conference call

27
00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:31,600
Speaker 1: that we did on Zoom today and Bill, we asked

28
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:34,840
Speaker 1: him every question we could think of, and I'm told

29
00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:38,000
Speaker 1: there were more than fifty people on there, and I

30
00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:40,840
Speaker 1: thought there was a lot of things that that he

31
00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:46,639
Speaker 1: talked about plans. The bottom line I say this, people

32
00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:51,160
Speaker 1: don't want to hear anything positive about that trade, so

33
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:54,640
Speaker 1: I won't say anything. But one of the things Bill said,

34
00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:56,760
Speaker 1: and this is true with any deal, you have to

35
00:01:56,840 --> 00:01:59,720
Speaker 1: let it play out. It may turn out to backfire

36
00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:02,919
Speaker 1: and terrible deal might turn out to be a wash

37
00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:06,280
Speaker 1: because you bring in Cobb and you've got Cooks and

38
00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:10,279
Speaker 1: then David Johnson's a really good receiver out of the backfield.

39
00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:12,600
Speaker 1: But these things I have to play out. But he

40
00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:16,640
Speaker 1: went into detail about the contract, and now I thought

41
00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:24,760
Speaker 1: the most Oh, John McLean just dropped off. Did he

42
00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:28,840
Speaker 1: make another did he break another story? And am I

43
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:30,800
Speaker 1: on the air, This is what I want to know,

44
00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:34,120
Speaker 1: So Bridget if I am on the air, let me know,

45
00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:38,720
Speaker 1: because this is just like last week. This is just

46
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:40,760
Speaker 1: like last week. We'll try to get the general back

47
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:43,200
Speaker 1: as soon as possible. And I don't think he's breaking

48
00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:46,519
Speaker 1: a story this time. I don't think that's happening because

49
00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:49,799
Speaker 1: he was in mid sentence, didn't have time to look

50
00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:53,000
Speaker 1: down and see the phone and see if somebody tipped

51
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:55,760
Speaker 1: them off to something. But I hope it is. I

52
00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:59,400
Speaker 1: hope it's a huge deal, something really juicy for the

53
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:03,720
Speaker 1: Houston Exans Now today he's right, Bill O'Brien, and a

54
00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:06,359
Speaker 1: lot to say, and people had a lot of questions

55
00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:09,320
Speaker 1: to ask. Of course, there was plenty about Hopkins, and

56
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:12,360
Speaker 1: I asked the General what his biggest takeaway was, and

57
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:15,400
Speaker 1: we'll get John back gone as soon as possible. But

58
00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:18,799
Speaker 1: mine was that And I wrote about this last week.

59
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:21,480
Speaker 1: I wrote an article in vander Mayer's View on Houston

60
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:24,560
Speaker 1: Texans dot com about the pre draft offensive outlook, and

61
00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:28,360
Speaker 1: I talked about the fact that the four receivers for

62
00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:30,760
Speaker 1: now who are leading the way, And I say for that,

63
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:32,600
Speaker 1: because you never know what's going to happen with this team.

64
00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:36,280
Speaker 1: But you have Brandon Cook's, Randall Cobb, Will Fuller, and

65
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:39,520
Speaker 1: Kenny Stills, and they are all veterans who can hit

66
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:44,080
Speaker 1: the ground, running and catching. They can get to work quickly.

67
00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:47,080
Speaker 1: Whenever the Texans get to work on the field eventually,

68
00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:50,200
Speaker 1: whenever that might be, they'll be good to go. They'll

69
00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:53,240
Speaker 1: be ready to deliver. And that's gonna be cool stuff

70
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:55,840
Speaker 1: because if you have to break in a rookie that

71
00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:58,000
Speaker 1: you think needs to play a lot, you know, it's

72
00:03:58,000 --> 00:03:59,760
Speaker 1: one thing. If if you're able to draft one of

73
00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:03,160
Speaker 1: these DoD rookie's great, good for you whatever team gets them.

74
00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:06,680
Speaker 1: But we all know that it doesn't happen right away

75
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:10,440
Speaker 1: for most receivers. Now, they can make plays for you,

76
00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:14,800
Speaker 1: but are they gonna be workhorse reliable week in week out. Now,

77
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:16,800
Speaker 1: I'm not talking about injuries. I'm just talking about the

78
00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:20,640
Speaker 1: ability to absorb the offense and make consistent plays on

79
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:23,640
Speaker 1: a weekly basis. We all know the Texans receivers well,

80
00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:28,240
Speaker 1: Will Fuller mainly injury issues. Of course, Brandon Cooks, we

81
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:31,200
Speaker 1: talked about him that even though he had the concussion

82
00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:34,440
Speaker 1: problems or he's had them, he still played in fourteen

83
00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:36,520
Speaker 1: games last year. I mean, that's a lot of games, right,

84
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:42,120
Speaker 1: So you hope that that kind of game participation continues

85
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:45,480
Speaker 1: for Cooks, and you hope that Fuller Obviously, you hope

86
00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:47,039
Speaker 1: he can stay healthy for the bulk of the season.

87
00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:49,719
Speaker 1: But I've said this before, out of those three guys,

88
00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:52,960
Speaker 1: four guys, if you have three of the four healthy

89
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:55,080
Speaker 1: for the bulk of the season, and I think you

90
00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:57,560
Speaker 1: get John welcome back. By the way, as far as

91
00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:00,840
Speaker 1: the four receivers go, I think if you can guarantee me,

92
00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:03,159
Speaker 1: and there's no guarantee in life, but three of the

93
00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:05,520
Speaker 1: four and you could almost pick any three are gonna

94
00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:08,080
Speaker 1: be healthy for the bulk of the season. I'm pretty

95
00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:10,320
Speaker 1: comfortable with what they have going on right now. I'll

96
00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:13,360
Speaker 1: stack it up against anybody in the division, and beyond that,

97
00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:15,800
Speaker 1: almost anybody in the AFC. I don't know how you

98
00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:18,800
Speaker 1: feel about that, Mark, I thought, going back to what

99
00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:22,040
Speaker 1: O'Brien said today, one of the most interesting things was

100
00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:24,760
Speaker 1: when you determine you're going to trade a player like Copins,

101
00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:27,600
Speaker 1: who has three years left on his contract, and once

102
00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:30,400
Speaker 1: a big race, not all teams are going to step

103
00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:33,719
Speaker 1: up and get in line if his contract was about

104
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:35,719
Speaker 1: to expire, He's in the last year of the deal,

105
00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:37,480
Speaker 1: and he didn't want to give him a new one

106
00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:39,840
Speaker 1: that would have been different. So he got to find

107
00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:43,000
Speaker 1: a team number one willing to redo a deal with

108
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:45,320
Speaker 1: three years left, and then one that has a camp

109
00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:48,480
Speaker 1: money to do it, and then you start your negotiations.

110
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:51,080
Speaker 1: And as far as the receivers, one of the things

111
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:55,840
Speaker 1: I asked Bill. People keep talking about the documented concussions

112
00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:59,159
Speaker 1: that Brandon Cooks has had, and my question has been,

113
00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:03,000
Speaker 1: if he's he's had all these documented concussions, has he

114
00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:05,280
Speaker 1: only missed two games? How do he only missed two

115
00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:08,520
Speaker 1: games last season? We see when a guy gets a

116
00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:11,560
Speaker 1: concussion with the Taxans, he's out for multiple weeks. So

117
00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:15,920
Speaker 1: there are different levels of concussions, different numbers assigned to him.

118
00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:20,840
Speaker 1: And Jack Easterby, the executive VP of Football Ops, knows

119
00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:24,880
Speaker 1: Cooks really well from his time together with him with

120
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:27,960
Speaker 1: New England and so I'm sure he played a big

121
00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:30,480
Speaker 1: role in this deal. But you know they had him

122
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:34,200
Speaker 1: checked out, but he's been very durable, especially for a

123
00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:36,680
Speaker 1: guy it's only one hundred and eighty eight pounds, And

124
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:40,280
Speaker 1: what I'm eager to see with the receivers. You know,

125
00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:43,160
Speaker 1: it's you know where the odds Fuller is going to

126
00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:45,560
Speaker 1: stay healthy for the first time. Steal's never had an

127
00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:48,360
Speaker 1: injury issue until he got air last year he missed

128
00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:51,000
Speaker 1: three games. But if those guys are out there, the

129
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:54,359
Speaker 1: kind of speed that they have, the being able to

130
00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:57,960
Speaker 1: throw the ball down the field to somebody besides Fuller,

131
00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:02,200
Speaker 1: that should be very exciting for Shaun Watson. Other things

132
00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:05,200
Speaker 1: he hinted on and maybe not so much hinted, just

133
00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:09,320
Speaker 1: talked about offensively, john how the offensive line is in

134
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:13,200
Speaker 1: good shape on paper heading into twenty twenty. How the

135
00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:15,720
Speaker 1: tight end group is in good shape. We all want

136
00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:18,080
Speaker 1: to see what Kahale war he can do, but they've

137
00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:20,560
Speaker 1: got a lot of assets here. And then with the backs,

138
00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:23,200
Speaker 1: all right, we'll see with David Johnson, who I'm going

139
00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:25,400
Speaker 1: to speak to tomorrow. By the way, we'll see about

140
00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:29,000
Speaker 1: David Johnson's health. But if he can manage to play

141
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:32,480
Speaker 1: in the bulk of the game's thirteen fourteen games, that's

142
00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:34,440
Speaker 1: gonna be big for this football team. What about the

143
00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:36,840
Speaker 1: rest of the offense other than the quarterback, of course,

144
00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:40,480
Speaker 1: think about this time last year when they were preparing

145
00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:44,040
Speaker 1: for the draft, think about where their offensive line was.

146
00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:49,600
Speaker 1: No Laramie Tonsill, no Titus Hour, no Max Sharpie. You had,

147
00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:54,280
Speaker 1: you had two starters returning, and looked how much better

148
00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:56,960
Speaker 1: off they are now than they were this time last year.

149
00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:00,360
Speaker 1: They're better tighty and I feel pretty confident they're not

150
00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:03,760
Speaker 1: going to draft a quarterback or tight end. I don't

151
00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:07,600
Speaker 1: think that an inside linebacker is an issue. They do

152
00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:10,400
Speaker 1: need an interior defensive lineman. I'm going to write a

153
00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:13,400
Speaker 1: column Sunday about that's what I think they're gonna do

154
00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:15,880
Speaker 1: with a second pick. I also think you'd mentioned that

155
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:19,080
Speaker 1: Bill hinted something else he hinted at today. He was

156
00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:22,600
Speaker 1: talking about the forty pick, and he was saying like

157
00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:26,440
Speaker 1: he was talking about different positions like defensive line and

158
00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:31,280
Speaker 1: safety and corner that if it comes time for them

159
00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:35,600
Speaker 1: to pick and they are multiple players they liked there.

160
00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:38,480
Speaker 1: He didn't say we could trade down, but that's what

161
00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:42,320
Speaker 1: he meant. So he's trader Bill for a reason. I'll

162
00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:46,400
Speaker 1: be really surprised if he uses that forty ofth pick

163
00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:50,040
Speaker 1: and without a trade down. Now, if a guy likes

164
00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:57,280
Speaker 1: say Ross Blacklock from TCU, or Marlon Davidson from Auburn,

165
00:08:57,400 --> 00:09:01,600
Speaker 1: or maybe Jordan Elliott from Missouri, all terrier, rusher's chested

166
00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:04,000
Speaker 1: Matt to BK and A and m. Those are all

167
00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:08,079
Speaker 1: guys who can get a little push from the inside,

168
00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:11,200
Speaker 1: which is what they need. Also, wouldn't be surprised at

169
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:15,079
Speaker 1: a deep draft for safeties and corners. Not good for

170
00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:17,840
Speaker 1: them up at the top, but there's depth. It wouldn't

171
00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:20,440
Speaker 1: surprise me if they didn't take a safety if he's

172
00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:23,320
Speaker 1: the highest rated player when the time comes. But when

173
00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:26,600
Speaker 1: you have multiple needs on defense like that, it allows

174
00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:29,640
Speaker 1: the luxury to trade down and maybe they get another

175
00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:33,480
Speaker 1: two picks. So I'm pretty sure that they're not going

176
00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:35,920
Speaker 1: to trade back into the first round because I think

177
00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:39,960
Speaker 1: they'd like to get extra picks, not sacrifice more. Well,

178
00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:42,880
Speaker 1: it sounded like he was pretty happy with the acquisition

179
00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:45,480
Speaker 1: of Timmy Journey again as well, that he was going

180
00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:47,760
Speaker 1: to be a big plus for his team potentially. Well,

181
00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:49,760
Speaker 1: he will be if he's healthy. You know, he's had

182
00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:53,160
Speaker 1: other injury issues. They're taking some chances on guys with

183
00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:55,880
Speaker 1: injury issues. And i'd tell you something else, Bill said.

184
00:09:56,520 --> 00:09:59,200
Speaker 1: And I started writing this last week because I'm hearing

185
00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:05,240
Speaker 1: this from multip NFL people that because of the restrictions

186
00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:11,040
Speaker 1: placed on teams for the coronavirus. Rookies are not going

187
00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:13,480
Speaker 1: to have an all season program. It's gonna be virtual.

188
00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:15,640
Speaker 1: They're not going to have one season coaching and the

189
00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:20,439
Speaker 1: Rookie Mini Camp, the OTA's offseason program, the regular mini

190
00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:24,679
Speaker 1: camp training camp could be reduced, season could be pushed back.

191
00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:28,520
Speaker 1: So therefore, I think Bill said something about it's a

192
00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:33,040
Speaker 1: veteran season. In other words, this might not be the

193
00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:35,200
Speaker 1: time to have a whole lot of draft choices. And

194
00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:38,800
Speaker 1: I'm eager to see if teams like Miami with fourteen

195
00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:41,840
Speaker 1: picks will just take their lumps and go ahead and

196
00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:44,920
Speaker 1: trade them. I'm take them, Will they try to move up,

197
00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:47,520
Speaker 1: will they trade some of those for picks next year?

198
00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:50,199
Speaker 1: And do teams want a lot of picks this year?

199
00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:54,200
Speaker 1: When it just makes sense the rookies development is going

200
00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:56,920
Speaker 1: to be slower, and that may mean halfway through the

201
00:10:57,000 --> 00:10:59,840
Speaker 1: season as opposed to the start, or not at all

202
00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:04,520
Speaker 1: composed to the middle. But it's unprecedented times, and the

203
00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:08,520
Speaker 1: young players, not just the rookies, practice squad guys, guys

204
00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:11,760
Speaker 1: that were injured as rookies last year. They're not going

205
00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:14,280
Speaker 1: to have the luxury the players in their position they

206
00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:18,720
Speaker 1: have any other year. Well, John, usually I hear your

207
00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:21,960
Speaker 1: other appearances on sports Radio sixth ten, but my listening

208
00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:25,000
Speaker 1: habits have changed with sheltering in place. My morning show

209
00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:29,439
Speaker 1: now consists of live debate between my boys about bab blades.

210
00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:32,800
Speaker 1: So that's about it. But but tell me, we haven't

211
00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:35,760
Speaker 1: talked in a while, for a week. What is your take,

212
00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:38,240
Speaker 1: what's your opinion? Have you heard anything? What are you

213
00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:42,480
Speaker 1: thinking about the state of the season and how things

214
00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:45,840
Speaker 1: might play out in our current environment that they have

215
00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:50,080
Speaker 1: contingencies for every possible thing. Like in nineteen eighty two

216
00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:53,360
Speaker 1: I covered a players strike, they played nine games, and

217
00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:58,120
Speaker 1: then I think they increased the playoffs. And they know

218
00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:01,240
Speaker 1: because football can be played at any time, whether it's

219
00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:04,160
Speaker 1: not an issue, they could push back the playoffs. The

220
00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:08,200
Speaker 1: Super Bowl could be pushed back. Now, what if Tampa,

221
00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:10,520
Speaker 1: which is the host of the Super Bowl, has already

222
00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:13,800
Speaker 1: booked conventions for the next two months, then that would

223
00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:18,280
Speaker 1: be an issue. But you know, desperate times take require

224
00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:22,080
Speaker 1: desperate measures. So the NFL could push the season back

225
00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:24,480
Speaker 1: to start in October if they wanted to. They could

226
00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:27,559
Speaker 1: play ten games. They already proved they could play with nine.

227
00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:31,360
Speaker 1: I feel confident Mark, we're going to have an NFL season,

228
00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:35,600
Speaker 1: not sure when it'll be or how many games it'll be.

229
00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:39,280
Speaker 1: Baseball is the most in jeopardy because of the weather.

230
00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:42,480
Speaker 1: Unless they're going to finish the season at neutral sights

231
00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:45,680
Speaker 1: in the South or this play neutral sight playoffs in

232
00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:48,840
Speaker 1: World Series for the only time in history, they're going

233
00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:52,000
Speaker 1: to have a problem. The NBA can finish anytime. This

234
00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:57,320
Speaker 1: plan of this idea about having college football two twenty

235
00:12:57,440 --> 00:13:02,160
Speaker 1: starting two thousand twenty one, ask kids to basically knock

236
00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:06,040
Speaker 1: off half of their offseason. That seems pretty preposterous, but

237
00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:09,120
Speaker 1: it's driven by the dollar. People want to make money.

238
00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:11,720
Speaker 1: They need to make money. The athletes want to make money.

239
00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:15,160
Speaker 1: Schools want to make money. You take football after a program,

240
00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:17,800
Speaker 1: can you imagine what a hint that's going to be

241
00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:21,560
Speaker 1: on your budget. So everybody's trying to come up with plans.

242
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:25,040
Speaker 1: And I know this. Carol and I were just talking

243
00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:28,240
Speaker 1: about this while ago. We saw these things, the plan

244
00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:31,400
Speaker 1: to put America back to work. I know this. I'm

245
00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:34,400
Speaker 1: not all of a sudden going into restaurants. I'm oca

246
00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:37,040
Speaker 1: plays out and we'll keep doing this what we're doing

247
00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:40,840
Speaker 1: now for another month. If we can, because so far

248
00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:43,320
Speaker 1: I've done everything right and been very smart about it.

249
00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:46,319
Speaker 1: I'm not just gonna go rushing back out just because

250
00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:50,040
Speaker 1: a bunch of politicians tell us we should. Yeah, well,

251
00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:52,000
Speaker 1: I think there's gotta be a layering. There's got to

252
00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:56,080
Speaker 1: be waves of comeback however we do it. I figured

253
00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:59,920
Speaker 1: platoon systems and offices and things like that might be

254
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:02,080
Speaker 1: a good idea. But what do I know about this

255
00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:04,000
Speaker 1: stuff general? All right, let's go around the league a

256
00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:06,560
Speaker 1: little bit some of your thoughts and what else is

257
00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:10,800
Speaker 1: happening around the National Football League? And chief story today

258
00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:14,920
Speaker 1: about no timeline in place for the my Homes contract extension.

259
00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:17,960
Speaker 1: How do you think that goes? And does COVID have

260
00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:20,440
Speaker 1: any effect on my Homes and Watson and some of

261
00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:23,320
Speaker 1: these extensions that are being talked about from the outside

262
00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:26,880
Speaker 1: end in the National Football League. If I'm Deshaun Watson,

263
00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:29,040
Speaker 1: or if I'm learning any tons, when they're offering me

264
00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:32,600
Speaker 1: twenty million a year, I'm taking it. If I'm Deshaun Watson,

265
00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:35,080
Speaker 1: I believe Watson's going to get forty million a year,

266
00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:37,040
Speaker 1: and I think My Homes is going to get a

267
00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:39,840
Speaker 1: little more, no matter when they do it, And if

268
00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:42,440
Speaker 1: they're gonna wait around one of them is going to

269
00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:44,480
Speaker 1: wait for the other one, which I don't think they're

270
00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:46,640
Speaker 1: gonna do. You know, if you got a chance to

271
00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:49,240
Speaker 1: get that kind of increase in your pay at a

272
00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:52,560
Speaker 1: time like this, it do it. And then the first

273
00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:54,680
Speaker 1: thing you do when the money comes in, you donate

274
00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:57,680
Speaker 1: a big portion of it to help the country recover.

275
00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:02,280
Speaker 1: And I think that's what and so I don't think

276
00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:04,880
Speaker 1: it's going to affect them. Bill O'Brien didn't act today

277
00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:07,480
Speaker 1: like it was going to affect them. He said they're

278
00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:11,200
Speaker 1: working hard on Tonsol Tounsil doing his own negotiations. I

279
00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:14,240
Speaker 1: don't know if that's good or bad because so fewer

280
00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:18,720
Speaker 1: players actually do it, And and O'Brien mentioned one of

281
00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:21,520
Speaker 1: the reasons they couldn't afford give Hop to kind of

282
00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:24,480
Speaker 1: raisey one is they got to pay these other players,

283
00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:28,320
Speaker 1: meaning Watson and Tonsol. And it won't surprise me if

284
00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:31,680
Speaker 1: they redo JJ to lower his cap figure. They did

285
00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:35,800
Speaker 1: that one other time during his contract. But they got

286
00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:37,520
Speaker 1: a lot of deals still to be made, and I

287
00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:41,080
Speaker 1: think after the draft, Mark we'll see Bill O'Brien's signs

288
00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:43,920
Speaker 1: more free agents. I'm with you, John, if I'm one

289
00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:45,600
Speaker 1: of these players and I got a huge offer in

290
00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:47,200
Speaker 1: front of me. It's bird in the hand, right. You

291
00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:49,200
Speaker 1: don't know what's going to happen to the economy. I mean,

292
00:15:49,880 --> 00:15:54,240
Speaker 1: my imagination runs pretty wild with everything going on in

293
00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:56,520
Speaker 1: our world right now. So if I'm presented with a

294
00:15:56,520 --> 00:15:58,160
Speaker 1: piece of paper that's going to make me the highest

295
00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:00,960
Speaker 1: paid player, I might just go ahead and signed that.

296
00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:03,800
Speaker 1: Or if you were given a piece of paper by

297
00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:07,520
Speaker 1: Jamie Roots and said highest paid broadcaster, God, say where

298
00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:11,640
Speaker 1: do I sign? Done? I'll take a third or fourth highest.

299
00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:16,600
Speaker 1: That's fine. Let's go. Let me ask you about Odell Beckham.

300
00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:20,520
Speaker 1: Does he stay in Cleveland. I've heard for a while

301
00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:23,560
Speaker 1: now that they're shopping him to see what they can get.

302
00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:26,240
Speaker 1: The thing that came out this week at two and

303
00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:29,720
Speaker 1: a five. Problem is he makes fourteen million and he

304
00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:32,840
Speaker 1: wants a new Dell. Julio Jones got a three year

305
00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:36,680
Speaker 1: extension for sixty six million, an average of twenty two

306
00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:40,200
Speaker 1: million a year. Every general manager and owner in the

307
00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:43,680
Speaker 1: league is like, oh my god, because then you got

308
00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:48,600
Speaker 1: these other receivers like Beckham and especially Hopkins, they outplay

309
00:16:48,680 --> 00:16:51,800
Speaker 1: their contracts. I don't know that Beckham is but Hopkins

310
00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:54,240
Speaker 1: and dead, and the Texans knew he did, and so

311
00:16:54,760 --> 00:16:57,760
Speaker 1: the other receivers. The new benchmark is Julio Jones. And

312
00:16:57,840 --> 00:16:59,920
Speaker 1: if you can't get it, you try to come close

313
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:03,040
Speaker 1: to it. And Arizona has said they're talking to Hopkins

314
00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:05,960
Speaker 1: agent about doing a new deal, but you still got

315
00:17:06,080 --> 00:17:09,240
Speaker 1: to agree on it. So it wouldn't surprise me. Beckham

316
00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:13,919
Speaker 1: was John Dorsey's guy, the former general manager. But wouldn't

317
00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:17,040
Speaker 1: that be a shocked if he was traded. I'm sure

318
00:17:17,080 --> 00:17:20,080
Speaker 1: he wouldn't like that. But man, oh man, I can't

319
00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:23,200
Speaker 1: wait to see how that plays out. Dak Prescott, you

320
00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:26,240
Speaker 1: surprised that there's no deal yet? Why are they having

321
00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:30,840
Speaker 1: such difficulty? They've waited two years, I spee. Friends of

322
00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:34,280
Speaker 1: mine in Dallas media. Won't you be glad when he

323
00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:36,480
Speaker 1: is signed so you don't have to hear about his

324
00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:40,520
Speaker 1: contract anymore? You know they can franchise him two years

325
00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:43,280
Speaker 1: in a row. Don't know what he's asking for. He's

326
00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:46,560
Speaker 1: not worth forty million a year, you know, Deshaun Watson's

327
00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:49,000
Speaker 1: going to be worth it. If I'm Prescott, how could

328
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:51,800
Speaker 1: you turn down thirty five million a year if that's

329
00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:55,720
Speaker 1: what they're offering I just sometimes don't understand it. Prescott's

330
00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:59,920
Speaker 1: an intelligent guy, he's popular, He's not going anywhere. He's

331
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:04,200
Speaker 1: the Cowboys quarterback. And I just assume at some point

332
00:18:04,600 --> 00:18:07,359
Speaker 1: Jerry Jones will get it done because Jerry doesn't lose

333
00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:10,240
Speaker 1: people he does want to keep and money is not

334
00:18:10,359 --> 00:18:14,879
Speaker 1: coming the way of him doing deals before. Did you

335
00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:17,520
Speaker 1: see the picture of the table setting for his birthday

336
00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:21,320
Speaker 1: party dinner? I did, but as one of the excuses

337
00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:24,359
Speaker 1: they tried to say and this is like the dog

338
00:18:24,520 --> 00:18:28,120
Speaker 1: ate my homework was a restaurant sent it to him

339
00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:31,240
Speaker 1: saying when this ends, this is what you have to

340
00:18:31,359 --> 00:18:36,440
Speaker 1: look forward to. Oh really, I'll say this about TMZ.

341
00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:40,280
Speaker 1: TMZ pays for stuff and they check it out. They

342
00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:44,000
Speaker 1: got a legal department, and when you look at TMZ,

343
00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:47,000
Speaker 1: they don't have a lot of bad information. People make

344
00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:50,640
Speaker 1: fun of them, but they they do a really good job.

345
00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:53,399
Speaker 1: And one reason they do a good job people seek

346
00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:55,720
Speaker 1: them out because they know they get paid. It's not

347
00:18:55,800 --> 00:19:01,000
Speaker 1: real journalism, but they do check things out to authenticate

348
00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:03,480
Speaker 1: them before they put it out there, because they know

349
00:19:03,560 --> 00:19:07,000
Speaker 1: it's gonna undergo such scrutiny. John, what do you have

350
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:09,920
Speaker 1: going out of the Chronicle, Aaron Wilson and I ever

351
00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:12,560
Speaker 1: a draft series. It's going on. We have lots of

352
00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:16,399
Speaker 1: stories about Bill O'Brien on Texas Sports Nation and in

353
00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:20,479
Speaker 1: the Chronicle. I'm writing Sunday about it. What position I

354
00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:24,280
Speaker 1: think they'll pick in the draft. And we've got two podcasts.

365
00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:01,359
Speaker 1: but you know there's a lot of d involving teams

366
00:20:01,359 --> 00:20:04,040
Speaker 1: around the Texans that will affect how they do in

367

462
00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:18,000
Speaker 1: up for you, open serving and like I said, Water

463
00:26:18,040 --> 00:26:19,520
Speaker 1: Burger is not going to go out of business. That's

464
00:26:19,560 --> 00:26:22,640
Speaker 1: great for them. Unfortunately many people are and that's horrible.

465
00:26:22,800 --> 00:26:25,159
Speaker 1: So we gotta pray that we can get through this

466
00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:30,439
Speaker 1: thing as quickly and cleanly as possible. Johnny Harris joins me. Now, Johnny,

474
00:26:52,720 --> 00:26:54,639
Speaker 1: it was sort of like game plan offense. You know.

475
00:26:55,760 --> 00:27:00,240
Speaker 1: She realized what she didn't have and was like, Okay,

476
00:27:00,359 --> 00:27:03,160
Speaker 1: I've got to choreograph this thing with this big lug. Now,

477
00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:07,040
Speaker 1: So okay, Dad, you're gonna lift me. Dad, you're gonna

478
00:27:07,040 --> 00:27:10,119
Speaker 1: help me with a cartwheel, you're gonna spin me. Like, okay,

479
00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:12,400
Speaker 1: I can do all those things. And then she's like, Okay,

480
00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:15,000
Speaker 1: you're gonna do this like shuffleball step thing, and I'm like,

481
00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:18,040
Speaker 1: I can't do that. I can't do that. I'll try,

482
00:27:18,160 --> 00:27:20,120
Speaker 1: but I I and she's like, okay, okay, well let's

483
00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:24,560
Speaker 1: change it. She was absolutely, absolutely brilliant, and if you

484
00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:26,159
Speaker 1: want to see it, and have a little bit of

485
00:27:26,200 --> 00:27:28,080
Speaker 1: a laugh. Go to at your Hairs Football and you

486
00:27:28,119 --> 00:27:30,359
Speaker 1: can you can check it out there. But I was

487
00:27:30,800 --> 00:27:33,840
Speaker 1: I was option Z all the way down the list.

488
00:27:33,960 --> 00:27:36,119
Speaker 1: Her her partner, who had done all her duets with

489
00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:38,440
Speaker 1: her for three years, had moved to Australia, which is sad.

490
00:27:38,480 --> 00:27:42,240
Speaker 1: And then you know, COVID hits and and you know,

491
00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:45,520
Speaker 1: a month or so before it's due, and she's like, well,

492
00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:47,320
Speaker 1: what do I do now? And I think my wife

493
00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:49,400
Speaker 1: was the one who suggested me, and I was like, well, yeah,

494
00:27:49,440 --> 00:27:51,080
Speaker 1: if it'll help, I'll do it. I was like, I'm

495
00:27:51,080 --> 00:27:52,560
Speaker 1: not gonna be very good, but we'll do it. And

496
00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:57,280
Speaker 1: why did your wife do it? Um, I don't know.

497
00:27:57,359 --> 00:27:59,800
Speaker 1: It's a good question, that's a great question. Actually. But

498
00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:02,760
Speaker 1: she held the camera right, Did she do the camera work? Yeah,

499
00:28:02,840 --> 00:28:05,879
Speaker 1: she did the camera work, And I mean it was

500
00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:08,639
Speaker 1: a I'm telling you. We did it outside and we

501
00:28:08,760 --> 00:28:10,359
Speaker 1: had to pull the sonos outside, so we had to

502
00:28:10,359 --> 00:28:15,439
Speaker 1: pull Jackie in. So his technological expertise was absolutely vital.

503
00:28:15,840 --> 00:28:19,800
Speaker 1: And then so this is I didn't know any of

504
00:28:19,880 --> 00:28:24,080
Speaker 1: this about dance at all, so I were it was

505
00:28:24,080 --> 00:28:25,959
Speaker 1: supposed to have another couple of days, We're gonna work

506
00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:27,359
Speaker 1: on it, and then she got a note from the

507
00:28:27,400 --> 00:28:31,280
Speaker 1: teacher saying, hey, look, it's due by five o'clock on yesterday,

508
00:28:31,440 --> 00:28:33,239
Speaker 1: and I was like, oh, and so I was kind

509
00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:36,040
Speaker 1: of learning in stages, like a minute here, forty five

510
00:28:36,080 --> 00:28:38,080
Speaker 1: seconds here, forty five seconds there. So I was kind

511
00:28:38,120 --> 00:28:39,520
Speaker 1: of learning in stages, and all sudden it was like

512
00:28:39,560 --> 00:28:41,520
Speaker 1: it's due tomorrow. I'm like, oh my god, Mark. I

513
00:28:41,640 --> 00:28:45,200
Speaker 1: did not sleep Tuesday night. I was like three o'clock

514
00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:46,840
Speaker 1: in the morning and I woke up and I'm like,

515
00:28:47,080 --> 00:28:49,080
Speaker 1: I got the steps are all in my head and

516
00:28:49,160 --> 00:28:50,720
Speaker 1: I know him. All that all kind of jumbled. So

517
00:28:51,520 --> 00:28:54,920
Speaker 1: we sat we went to do it the very first

518
00:28:55,040 --> 00:28:57,640
Speaker 1: one where Page was doing the music and were and

519
00:28:57,800 --> 00:28:59,560
Speaker 1: we got done and we're like, we're done, like it was.

520
00:28:59,680 --> 00:29:02,560
Speaker 1: It was actually it was good. And then we're like, okay,

521
00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:06,560
Speaker 1: let's do it one more time. And then I screwed up,

522
00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:08,840
Speaker 1: and then I screwed up again on the next one,

523
00:29:10,800 --> 00:29:12,400
Speaker 1: and then yeah, we had the first take and then

524
00:29:12,440 --> 00:29:14,960
Speaker 1: we're like, okay, let's do another one. So that last

525
00:29:15,040 --> 00:29:18,320
Speaker 1: one was basically it was our second run through the

526
00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:21,760
Speaker 1: whole thing, and it actually turned out pretty pretty well.

527
00:29:21,760 --> 00:29:23,680
Speaker 1: At that point, so we were it was it was cool.

528
00:29:23,760 --> 00:29:25,480
Speaker 1: So at your football you can check it out and

529
00:29:25,520 --> 00:29:27,400
Speaker 1: laugh at me a little bit, which is fine. You know,

530
00:29:27,480 --> 00:29:30,280
Speaker 1: the movie Chicago right, based on the Broadway play and

531
00:29:30,320 --> 00:29:32,800
Speaker 1: the one best picture. Richard Gears in the movie. He

532
00:29:33,080 --> 00:29:36,440
Speaker 1: is not a dancer, but they worked with him and

533
00:29:36,560 --> 00:29:38,960
Speaker 1: they found a way around the fact that he couldn't dance.

534
00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:41,480
Speaker 1: And I'll also say that neither could the actresses in

535
00:29:41,560 --> 00:29:44,080
Speaker 1: that movie compared to the Broadway dancers. But that's just

536
00:29:44,240 --> 00:29:47,680
Speaker 1: me criticizing a movie. Okay, Bill O'Brien talk to the

537
00:29:47,720 --> 00:29:51,200
Speaker 1: media today, Johnny, let's listen into this cut about what

538
00:29:51,360 --> 00:29:53,240
Speaker 1: we've been talking about. I mean, this is a team

539
00:29:53,480 --> 00:29:57,120
Speaker 1: that wants to win when matters, most of everybody does.

540
00:29:57,160 --> 00:29:59,680
Speaker 1: Everybody wants to go to the super Bowl and win

541
00:29:59,760 --> 00:30:03,840
Speaker 1: the Bold and the Texans have been very much knocking

542
00:30:03,920 --> 00:30:06,840
Speaker 1: on the door of getting to that next level championship game,

543
00:30:06,920 --> 00:30:09,480
Speaker 1: try to take it beyond there. Bill O'Brien talked about

544
00:30:09,560 --> 00:30:11,760
Speaker 1: that and talked about some of the moves they've been

545
00:30:11,840 --> 00:30:15,000
Speaker 1: making and how they lead into the thinking that they're

546
00:30:15,160 --> 00:30:18,440
Speaker 1: they're gonna better equipped to do this and really after

547
00:30:18,560 --> 00:30:21,800
Speaker 1: researching teams that really win in January. We've won the

548
00:30:21,880 --> 00:30:24,240
Speaker 1: wildcard game, but we have not gotten past that. Everybody

549
00:30:24,320 --> 00:30:27,800
Speaker 1: understands that in Houston, we're working tirelessly to get past that,

550
00:30:29,080 --> 00:30:31,160
Speaker 1: to get to the ultimate goal of the Super Bowl.

551
00:30:31,840 --> 00:30:34,800
Speaker 1: But after studying teams that win in January win in February,

552
00:30:34,880 --> 00:30:39,240
Speaker 1: our staff is more convicted than ever that we must

553
00:30:39,280 --> 00:30:43,000
Speaker 1: be prepared to have layers upon layers of productive players

554
00:30:43,520 --> 00:30:47,200
Speaker 1: who can build on the tradition that we have established

555
00:30:47,240 --> 00:30:49,200
Speaker 1: here of winning the AFC South four out of the

556
00:30:49,320 --> 00:30:52,040
Speaker 1: last five years, and to try to get beyond that.

557
00:30:52,400 --> 00:30:55,120
Speaker 1: We know that the goal is to get beyond that well,

558
00:30:55,240 --> 00:30:57,560
Speaker 1: and he goes on to say a little bit more

559
00:30:57,600 --> 00:31:00,760
Speaker 1: about the research they've been putting in trying to build

560
00:31:00,760 --> 00:31:02,120
Speaker 1: a team that can do that, trying to build a

561
00:31:02,160 --> 00:31:06,840
Speaker 1: team that can survive January, thrive in January, and bring

562
00:31:06,960 --> 00:31:09,400
Speaker 1: home the Lombardi Trophy. And you heard his computer go on.

563
00:31:09,480 --> 00:31:11,640
Speaker 1: Actually it was just my computer during that cuts there,

564
00:31:11,920 --> 00:31:15,040
Speaker 1: But anyway, Johnny thoughts on what you heard from the

565
00:31:15,120 --> 00:31:18,000
Speaker 1: head coach today? Yeah, when I you know, it's funny.

566
00:31:18,120 --> 00:31:21,120
Speaker 1: I was on with with Ron and Clint a few

567
00:31:21,160 --> 00:31:22,760
Speaker 1: hours ago, a few hours ago, Yeah, a couple of

568
00:31:22,760 --> 00:31:24,840
Speaker 1: hours ago. And they asked me about it, and it

569
00:31:24,960 --> 00:31:27,640
Speaker 1: was funny because Ron, you know, I had the opportunity

570
00:31:27,640 --> 00:31:29,040
Speaker 1: to meet Ron had been all with him a few

571
00:31:29,080 --> 00:31:32,640
Speaker 1: times with Clinton, and he asked me what I thought overall,

572
00:31:32,760 --> 00:31:35,800
Speaker 1: and he just said he kind of prompted that with

573
00:31:36,320 --> 00:31:38,680
Speaker 1: that's a Bill O'Brien I've not seen before. And I

574
00:31:38,760 --> 00:31:40,760
Speaker 1: just said, look, I you know, you and I have

575
00:31:40,840 --> 00:31:44,320
Speaker 1: had the opportunity to get to know him off the field.

576
00:31:44,920 --> 00:31:47,560
Speaker 1: You know, we've seen as he's put it offseason Bill

577
00:31:47,680 --> 00:31:50,440
Speaker 1: versus in season Bill, and like, you know, offseason Bill

578
00:31:50,480 --> 00:31:52,440
Speaker 1: as somebody you want to sit down and have dinner

579
00:31:52,480 --> 00:31:54,160
Speaker 1: with and you want to you know, sit down and

580
00:31:54,320 --> 00:31:56,640
Speaker 1: you know, be around. But once you get to the season, man,

581
00:31:56,680 --> 00:31:58,920
Speaker 1: it is all. And I likened it to Jeff Van

582
00:31:58,960 --> 00:32:01,280
Speaker 1: Gundi And you know, a coach, I mean, we a

583
00:32:01,400 --> 00:32:03,280
Speaker 1: coaching studio. I mean he can go and and the

584
00:32:03,360 --> 00:32:04,960
Speaker 1: three of us have a really good time when we talk.

585
00:32:05,280 --> 00:32:08,400
Speaker 1: They're talking football, talking Texans um, you know, talking about

586
00:32:08,440 --> 00:32:10,800
Speaker 1: his charity endeavors. We're talking about those things. But when

587
00:32:10,840 --> 00:32:13,480
Speaker 1: coach Van Gundy was during the season, he looked like

588
00:32:13,520 --> 00:32:16,160
Speaker 1: a miserable wreck and trying to talk to him during

589
00:32:16,320 --> 00:32:18,440
Speaker 1: during the season was just it was a nightmare. And

590
00:32:18,560 --> 00:32:22,160
Speaker 1: so some coaches are just they're just wound that way.

591
00:32:22,760 --> 00:32:26,080
Speaker 1: And unfortunately a lot of people draw their conclusions about

592
00:32:26,120 --> 00:32:29,400
Speaker 1: a particular person based on that because that's all they

593
00:32:29,440 --> 00:32:31,400
Speaker 1: have to go on. Um. But I thought today it

594
00:32:31,520 --> 00:32:34,400
Speaker 1: was very fourth right, He's very honest about things. Um.

595
00:32:34,960 --> 00:32:36,680
Speaker 1: You know, he didn't want to talk about the Mike

596
00:32:36,760 --> 00:32:40,160
Speaker 1: Irvin Hopkins thing, which I don't blame me. I'm just

597
00:32:40,200 --> 00:32:42,000
Speaker 1: not even mess with that, which is which was I

598
00:32:42,040 --> 00:32:44,760
Speaker 1: thought the right thing to do. I thought he was,

599
00:32:46,080 --> 00:32:47,720
Speaker 1: you know, I don't want to you know, I know

600
00:32:47,720 --> 00:32:49,320
Speaker 1: a lot of people have talked about you know, hey,

601
00:32:49,320 --> 00:32:51,080
Speaker 1: it was kind of surprising, and I was like, you know,

602
00:32:51,360 --> 00:32:53,760
Speaker 1: that's that's Bill. That's that's the Bill. We'd love to

603
00:32:53,840 --> 00:32:56,080
Speaker 1: talk ball with and love to talk about, you know,

604
00:32:56,160 --> 00:32:59,400
Speaker 1: anything with really, And I thought he was very honest

605
00:32:59,440 --> 00:33:02,880
Speaker 1: about things. There were uh you know, the layers part

606
00:33:03,000 --> 00:33:07,720
Speaker 1: was was kind of interesting. And I think the bigger discussion,

607
00:33:07,800 --> 00:33:10,000
Speaker 1: as you know, obviously the question about Hopkins came up,

608
00:33:10,040 --> 00:33:12,200
Speaker 1: and well, you know, the money to contract all that

609
00:33:12,240 --> 00:33:13,840
Speaker 1: kind of stuff. I think, what you have to do

610
00:33:14,040 --> 00:33:16,160
Speaker 1: in this league, and he pointed this out at one

611
00:33:16,200 --> 00:33:20,200
Speaker 1: point too, it's like, look, this is a salary cap league.

612
00:33:20,960 --> 00:33:23,680
Speaker 1: You're bound by the salary cap. If you weren't this

613
00:33:23,800 --> 00:33:25,960
Speaker 1: for baseball, you just keep paying all your stars and

614
00:33:26,040 --> 00:33:28,960
Speaker 1: they stay for however long. But that's you're not afforded

615
00:33:29,000 --> 00:33:33,800
Speaker 1: that opportunity in the world of professional football. So the

616
00:33:34,080 --> 00:33:37,240
Speaker 1: challenge is to be able to find players that give

617
00:33:37,320 --> 00:33:42,240
Speaker 1: you an opportunity that you know may not be at

618
00:33:42,560 --> 00:33:45,520
Speaker 1: the elite level. But as you heard the word layers,

619
00:33:45,640 --> 00:33:48,320
Speaker 1: if you you know that sort of you know, kind

620
00:33:48,320 --> 00:33:50,200
Speaker 1: of hit you in waves with different things, And that's

621
00:33:50,240 --> 00:33:52,040
Speaker 1: kind of the way I think about the offense anyways.

622
00:33:52,240 --> 00:33:53,600
Speaker 1: It's kind of the way they hit you. They hit

623
00:33:53,640 --> 00:33:55,840
Speaker 1: you with different waves of things, like Okay, here's the

624
00:33:55,880 --> 00:33:59,400
Speaker 1: running backs, here the here the receivers, and you know,

625
00:33:59,560 --> 00:34:03,520
Speaker 1: not maybe as reliant on one particular guy, but having

626
00:34:03,640 --> 00:34:09,040
Speaker 1: to rely on the whole entire meal if you will

627
00:34:09,200 --> 00:34:11,239
Speaker 1: to have a have a good offense. You know, if

628
00:34:11,280 --> 00:34:12,880
Speaker 1: you go to the buffet and everything in the buffet

629
00:34:13,000 --> 00:34:14,520
Speaker 1: is like whoa, I could pick anything from the buffet

630
00:34:14,600 --> 00:34:16,759
Speaker 1: that's great, or you go to the buffet there's one

631
00:34:16,800 --> 00:34:18,960
Speaker 1: thing that's really good, but the only thing you end

632
00:34:19,040 --> 00:34:20,960
Speaker 1: up getting so I felt like there were a few

633
00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:23,240
Speaker 1: things I took out of it. There was one draft

634
00:34:23,320 --> 00:34:24,799
Speaker 1: thing I took out of it. They asked me, Ei,

635
00:34:24,800 --> 00:34:26,520
Speaker 1: They're like, what's the one thing that stood out? And

636
00:34:26,640 --> 00:34:28,759
Speaker 1: there was one word that stood up to me more

637
00:34:28,840 --> 00:34:31,000
Speaker 1: than any other. Because you and I actually talked about

638
00:34:31,040 --> 00:34:33,360
Speaker 1: this on the air as it pertains to draft that

639
00:34:33,400 --> 00:34:37,359
Speaker 1: we'll probably get into that later on. I would imagine, Okay, oh,

640
00:34:37,920 --> 00:34:40,399
Speaker 1: this is a little bit of a tease. It's a tease. Yeah,

641
00:34:40,560 --> 00:34:43,799
Speaker 1: a little bit of a draft tease. There a couple

642
00:34:43,880 --> 00:34:47,800
Speaker 1: of things on what you just said, the off season

643
00:34:47,920 --> 00:34:50,879
Speaker 1: bill during season, but whatever, we see this bill every

644
00:34:51,000 --> 00:34:52,800
Speaker 1: week in our studio. What we're doing the Bill O'Brian

645
00:34:52,880 --> 00:34:56,319
Speaker 1: show Monday's at five during the season and even after

646
00:34:56,480 --> 00:34:59,560
Speaker 1: losses where it's tough, it's tough for any coach. He's

647
00:34:59,600 --> 00:35:02,000
Speaker 1: really good. He's really good, and you get him in

648
00:35:02,080 --> 00:35:05,000
Speaker 1: a situation like that, and you can see it. Now.

649
00:35:05,239 --> 00:35:08,480
Speaker 1: I don't know if you'll win everybody over on the

650
00:35:08,640 --> 00:35:12,400
Speaker 1: Hopkins deal right now, he said of himself, you gotta

651
00:35:12,480 --> 00:35:15,160
Speaker 1: let things play out. That's what we said from day one.

652
00:35:15,360 --> 00:35:17,920
Speaker 1: Monday night, we said, listen, you know, I get it.

653
00:35:18,239 --> 00:35:20,839
Speaker 1: Reactions are what they are, Johnny. I just did an

654
00:35:20,920 --> 00:35:25,520
Speaker 1: article yesterday for the Daily Brew, which is a Red

655
00:35:25,600 --> 00:35:28,600
Speaker 1: Diamond T sponsored daily thing we do. But it's an

656
00:35:28,680 --> 00:35:30,439
Speaker 1: article and it could be about anything, and I wrote

657
00:35:30,480 --> 00:35:33,360
Speaker 1: mine about how this draft is different and how I

658
00:35:33,560 --> 00:35:37,560
Speaker 1: remember going, Oh, I remember going to the draft broadcast

659
00:35:37,640 --> 00:35:39,640
Speaker 1: in two thousand and two when David Carr was drafted.

660
00:35:39,800 --> 00:35:42,560
Speaker 1: It was held at the Astrodome the draft party. Then

661
00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:46,520
Speaker 1: the second year, the draft was held at the practice

662
00:35:46,560 --> 00:35:48,960
Speaker 1: Bubble at the Houston Methodist Training Center when they drafted

663
00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:51,640
Speaker 1: Andrey Johnson. I'll never forget that. Then we moved him

664
00:35:51,640 --> 00:35:53,880
Speaker 1: to the stadium for good. And now we're not in

665
00:35:53,960 --> 00:35:56,080
Speaker 1: the stadium because I thought it was for good, but

666
00:35:56,120 --> 00:35:58,400
Speaker 1: it's not for good because who could have predicted this?

667
00:35:58,840 --> 00:36:01,960
Speaker 1: But the point is this year by year, you know,

668
00:36:02,080 --> 00:36:03,839
Speaker 1: I want to do a whole thing. I think next

669
00:36:03,920 --> 00:36:06,359
Speaker 1: week's fund draft on Wednesday, and you could do whatever

670
00:36:06,360 --> 00:36:08,480
Speaker 1: you want because it's you're the commissioner of that draft.

671
00:36:08,560 --> 00:36:14,680
Speaker 1: But I would draft reactions at Texans draft parties and

672
00:36:15,520 --> 00:36:18,920
Speaker 1: how they turned out, how those reactions turned out, and

673
00:36:19,040 --> 00:36:21,880
Speaker 1: then you can widen it to how many times have

674
00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:26,160
Speaker 1: the Texans ever ever won the off season. How many

675
00:36:26,200 --> 00:36:28,680
Speaker 1: times have they won the offseason? And you know, by winning,

676
00:36:28,760 --> 00:36:32,600
Speaker 1: I mean one public opinion you know, received a high

677
00:36:32,680 --> 00:36:36,200
Speaker 1: grade in the public opinion polls, high confidence rating in

678
00:36:36,360 --> 00:36:39,240
Speaker 1: what they did in the off season. Not very often

679
00:36:39,320 --> 00:36:42,440
Speaker 1: in franchise history have they really won that. And some

680
00:36:42,560 --> 00:36:45,880
Speaker 1: of the moves have gotten downright criticized, like Mario Williams.

681
00:36:46,239 --> 00:36:49,160
Speaker 1: Even drafting JJ Watt was like, what I mean, he

682
00:36:49,280 --> 00:36:51,800
Speaker 1: seems like a decent player, but do we really need this?

683
00:36:52,080 --> 00:36:54,560
Speaker 1: Do we really need a defensive line? We need pass rush?

684
00:36:55,120 --> 00:36:57,320
Speaker 1: I mean, can this guy really rushed a passer? I

685
00:36:57,440 --> 00:37:00,560
Speaker 1: think he can, by the way. So it's interesting to

686
00:37:00,600 --> 00:37:03,319
Speaker 1: see it from that angle, and I want to talk

687
00:37:03,360 --> 00:37:05,920
Speaker 1: about that more deeply. Maybe next week we'll have a

688
00:37:05,960 --> 00:37:08,920
Speaker 1: show about that. Yeah, it's funny you say that, because

689
00:37:09,080 --> 00:37:12,080
Speaker 1: that was kind of my plan for next week. Was

690
00:37:12,200 --> 00:37:16,840
Speaker 1: something related to that. You know, your most memorable draft

691
00:37:17,000 --> 00:37:21,880
Speaker 1: day Texans Draft Day moments? I think if you know,

692
00:37:21,880 --> 00:37:23,719
Speaker 1: it's funny when you say they're like, man, does anything

693
00:37:23,760 --> 00:37:26,759
Speaker 1: come to mind? I thought about twenty eleven because two

694
00:37:26,760 --> 00:37:28,680
Speaker 1: thousand eleven does come to mind a little bit because

695
00:37:28,680 --> 00:37:30,840
Speaker 1: it's j jo and Daniel Manning. But I think it's

696
00:37:30,920 --> 00:37:33,120
Speaker 1: more in hindsight than it is at the time, because

697
00:37:33,120 --> 00:37:34,640
Speaker 1: I think at the time people were like, you didn't

698
00:37:34,640 --> 00:37:38,080
Speaker 1: get Namdi, you didn't you didn't win that offseason. And

699
00:37:38,280 --> 00:37:40,640
Speaker 1: yet I think reasonable people looked at it and said,

700
00:37:40,719 --> 00:37:43,640
Speaker 1: wait a second, you solve two issues with corner and safety,

701
00:37:44,400 --> 00:37:48,520
Speaker 1: then you did with just one and that worked out. Now,

702
00:37:48,520 --> 00:37:49,800
Speaker 1: maybe that was a little bit more in hindsight, but

703
00:37:49,840 --> 00:37:51,919
Speaker 1: I remember thinking at the time that was a really

704
00:37:52,160 --> 00:37:55,360
Speaker 1: that was a good win for the offseason. Throw on

705
00:37:55,440 --> 00:37:58,239
Speaker 1: the end. Of course, you know, my my parents being

706
00:37:58,280 --> 00:38:01,440
Speaker 1: from Wisconsin, they thought JJ hung the moon even before

707
00:38:01,560 --> 00:38:03,920
Speaker 1: he got to Houston. So they were just you know,

708
00:38:04,120 --> 00:38:07,640
Speaker 1: going crazy. They loved that off season. Now there's something

709
00:38:07,680 --> 00:38:10,399
Speaker 1: that didn't but that's probably the one that stands out

710
00:38:10,400 --> 00:38:12,719
Speaker 1: to me. But you're right, it didn't about winning the

711
00:38:12,719 --> 00:38:15,719
Speaker 1: off I mean, you know who's won championships how many

712
00:38:15,760 --> 00:38:18,319
Speaker 1: ever years the Patriots? How many times did you say

713
00:38:18,360 --> 00:38:20,839
Speaker 1: the pat I thought in twenty seventeen, the Patriots won

714
00:38:20,840 --> 00:38:22,800
Speaker 1: the offseason, like, oh my god, they just traded for

715
00:38:22,840 --> 00:38:26,680
Speaker 1: Brandon Cooks. Oh they've got Rex Burkhead and now Trent

716
00:38:26,800 --> 00:38:29,120
Speaker 1: Brown's going to them. Oh my god, what's gonna happen,

717
00:38:29,960 --> 00:38:31,279
Speaker 1: and then they ended up going to Super Bowl and

718
00:38:31,320 --> 00:38:33,360
Speaker 1: got beat. The one year they got beat is that

719
00:38:33,600 --> 00:38:37,840
Speaker 1: year when they won the off season. Very rarely the

720
00:38:37,880 --> 00:38:41,719
Speaker 1: Patriots ever won the off season and then won a

721
00:38:41,719 --> 00:38:43,640
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. It that just hasn't happened. So do you

722
00:38:43,719 --> 00:38:46,320
Speaker 1: think do you think the Texans won the off season

723
00:38:47,239 --> 00:38:51,000
Speaker 1: in two thousand and seven versus two thousand and sixteen

724
00:38:51,640 --> 00:38:56,680
Speaker 1: just the opinion of people making a huge The Texans

725
00:38:56,800 --> 00:38:59,640
Speaker 1: made a huge move at quarterback each of those two

726
00:38:59,680 --> 00:39:02,280
Speaker 1: off season's shop with the two number twos to Atlanta

727
00:39:02,920 --> 00:39:05,680
Speaker 1: and the swapping of the first round picks to get

728
00:39:05,800 --> 00:39:08,959
Speaker 1: a franchise quarterback match up and twenty sixteen to sign

729
00:39:09,360 --> 00:39:11,920
Speaker 1: the top free agent QB on the market, brockos Wilder.

730
00:39:12,040 --> 00:39:15,080
Speaker 1: Did they win the offseason those two times? Just relative

731
00:39:15,080 --> 00:39:20,080
Speaker 1: to the off season? I think there was significant excitement

732
00:39:20,120 --> 00:39:23,920
Speaker 1: about Brock, especially because he was coming from a championship

733
00:39:23,960 --> 00:39:28,239
Speaker 1: team that he was vitally important he won that year.

734
00:39:30,080 --> 00:39:32,560
Speaker 1: He played pretty well against the Patriots and beat the Patriots,

735
00:39:32,600 --> 00:39:34,320
Speaker 1: and I was like, oh okay, not the not the

736
00:39:34,400 --> 00:39:37,640
Speaker 1: championship game, but the regular season game. Yep. He was huge,

737
00:39:37,880 --> 00:39:40,239
Speaker 1: And so I think that absolutely and on top of that,

738
00:39:40,320 --> 00:39:41,960
Speaker 1: you have Jeff Allen, you have Lamar Miller, who had

739
00:39:42,000 --> 00:39:45,280
Speaker 1: just roasted us the year before. I think twenty sixteen,

740
00:39:45,360 --> 00:39:48,600
Speaker 1: we're like, okay, now it's now, it's time to go.

741
00:39:48,800 --> 00:39:50,400
Speaker 1: Two thousand and seven. I mean, I wasn't here, so

742
00:39:50,480 --> 00:39:54,360
Speaker 1: I can't. I didn't get here until the summer or

743
00:39:54,440 --> 00:39:57,320
Speaker 1: get back here until the summer. But I was a

744
00:39:57,360 --> 00:39:59,200
Speaker 1: big fan of Shop. I had met him when actually

745
00:39:59,200 --> 00:40:01,040
Speaker 1: when I was at Virginia you're getting my masters, I'd

746
00:40:01,040 --> 00:40:03,160
Speaker 1: met him and I thought the world of him, and

747
00:40:03,320 --> 00:40:05,520
Speaker 1: so when they made the deal, I actually liked it.

748
00:40:05,719 --> 00:40:08,000
Speaker 1: But I know people were kind of like, we just

749
00:40:08,200 --> 00:40:13,799
Speaker 1: traded for Vic's backup, like is that okay? Like three

750
00:40:14,000 --> 00:40:17,680
Speaker 1: starts at the time, and they were pretty starts. They

751
00:40:17,719 --> 00:40:21,399
Speaker 1: were good starts. So I would say twenty sixteen absolutely

752
00:40:21,600 --> 00:40:24,759
Speaker 1: over two thousand and seven. That's just that's my gut

753
00:40:24,840 --> 00:40:28,239
Speaker 1: reaction to it. Of course, things turned out pretty well

754
00:40:28,280 --> 00:40:29,960
Speaker 1: for Shavy, not just gonna watch for the other guy

755
00:40:30,000 --> 00:40:33,000
Speaker 1: in twenty sixteen, though, Yeah, I mean for Shab pretty well.

756
00:40:33,040 --> 00:40:35,880
Speaker 1: And I mean he's still going in his career. My gosh,

757
00:40:36,280 --> 00:40:38,680
Speaker 1: all right, John Harris is with us. We'll get to

758
00:40:38,719 --> 00:40:42,920
Speaker 1: your draft tidbit. Next we'll get to maybe evaluating secondaries

759
00:40:42,920 --> 00:40:44,760
Speaker 1: in the AFC South if we have time. We're putting

760
00:40:44,760 --> 00:40:47,160
Speaker 1: that one off. I've been procrastinating that homework assignment for

761
00:40:47,200 --> 00:40:52,080
Speaker 1: a while. Also around the league, we'll talk about von

762
00:40:52,200 --> 00:40:55,080

852
00:46:14,600 --> 00:46:19,160
Speaker 1: they keep it, and it's always exciting. It's something everybody's

853
00:46:19,200 --> 00:46:21,920
Speaker 1: looking forward to because there has been nothing in the

854
00:46:22,000 --> 00:46:24,760
Speaker 1: world of sports. I was joking that my only sports

855
00:46:24,840 --> 00:46:28,080
Speaker 1: morning show lately, because my listening habits have changed, is

856
00:46:28,160 --> 00:46:32,200
Speaker 1: watching the vander Boys debate Bay Blades their own performance

857
00:46:32,680 --> 00:46:35,480
Speaker 1: every morning at breakfast. So you tell me, what's the

858
00:46:35,600 --> 00:46:38,680
Speaker 1: weirdest kind of sports thing going on in your life

859
00:46:38,760 --> 00:46:42,879
Speaker 1: that you've been partaking in. You know, it's interesting from

860
00:46:43,320 --> 00:46:46,600
Speaker 1: that standpoint because there's there really is no other sport

861
00:46:46,680 --> 00:46:49,000
Speaker 1: but football. So every time that I go into my office,

862
00:46:49,840 --> 00:46:53,239
Speaker 1: I go in anywhere in the house. You know, YouTube's

863
00:46:53,239 --> 00:46:56,239
Speaker 1: got every game imaginable, it seems, and so I just

864
00:46:56,760 --> 00:46:59,120
Speaker 1: if I'm doing the laundry and I'm in my office

865
00:46:59,440 --> 00:47:01,480
Speaker 1: folding it and getting it done, I just flip on.

866
00:47:02,160 --> 00:47:04,920
Speaker 1: I had Florida LSU on and I'm sitting there watching

867
00:47:05,640 --> 00:47:08,400
Speaker 1: Florida LSU, just watching that game. And I don't know,

868
00:47:08,440 --> 00:47:10,920
Speaker 1: I probably have watched It's probably hard to do, but

869
00:47:11,000 --> 00:47:14,120
Speaker 1: I've watched I think more football lately that I've I've

870
00:47:14,160 --> 00:47:17,000
Speaker 1: watched a while just because there's nothing else really to watch.

871
00:47:17,239 --> 00:47:19,600
Speaker 1: There's no baseball game popping up that I can just

872
00:47:19,680 --> 00:47:22,560
Speaker 1: watch a few innings of So I'll just there and watch.

873
00:47:23,320 --> 00:47:25,560
Speaker 1: I just watched the Texas Bowl the other day Oklahoma

874
00:47:25,600 --> 00:47:29,000
Speaker 1: State and A and M and walked out. Okay, well

875
00:47:29,000 --> 00:47:32,080
Speaker 1: there's there's some players in this game. Okay. Um, so yeah,

876
00:47:32,120 --> 00:47:36,080
Speaker 1: I probably have watched more. Um And I don't know

877
00:47:36,120 --> 00:47:38,040
Speaker 1: if it's more in it to space for twenty twenty

878
00:47:38,080 --> 00:47:42,920
Speaker 1: one for that draft, but I am starting to focus

879
00:47:42,920 --> 00:47:45,080
Speaker 1: a little bit more on, you know, having this group.

880
00:47:45,360 --> 00:47:47,080
Speaker 1: I don't say down cold, but you kind of just

881
00:47:47,080 --> 00:47:48,879
Speaker 1: get the point like, Okay, I've seen enough of these guys.

882
00:47:49,360 --> 00:47:52,239
Speaker 1: Let's what's the new crop gonna bring? So that I

883
00:47:52,320 --> 00:47:54,319
Speaker 1: get a little excited about that, but that happens every year.

884
00:47:54,400 --> 00:47:57,240
Speaker 1: So this weekend I'll kind of get back, refresh everything

885
00:47:57,360 --> 00:47:59,799
Speaker 1: for the draft next Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and be ready

886
00:47:59,840 --> 00:48:03,560
Speaker 1: to Aren't they playing baseball in Taiwan right now or something?

887
00:48:03,920 --> 00:48:06,440
Speaker 1: I think they are. I think they got back to it,

888
00:48:06,960 --> 00:48:14,120
Speaker 1: I do believe. Yeah, ahead of yeah, down everything as

889
00:48:14,160 --> 00:48:17,720
Speaker 1: soon as there was like there's a coronavirus, shut the borders,

890
00:48:17,840 --> 00:48:21,759
Speaker 1: they were just done yea instantly, instantly, and um, I

891
00:48:21,880 --> 00:48:24,120
Speaker 1: think because they had such a hard time during Stars

892
00:48:24,520 --> 00:48:28,279
Speaker 1: or whatever that was that H one N one? Not this? Wait?

893
00:48:28,320 --> 00:48:30,200
Speaker 1: Wait was it Stars or H one N I don't

894
00:48:30,320 --> 00:48:33,600
Speaker 1: I can't remember. I've read so much stuff that I've

895
00:48:33,640 --> 00:48:36,560
Speaker 1: read too much, Johnny, That's what's happening. I've read too

896
00:48:36,680 --> 00:48:38,520
Speaker 1: at night. That's what I do, like late at night,

897
00:48:38,560 --> 00:48:40,600
Speaker 1: and to start reading about the virus in the world

898
00:48:40,640 --> 00:48:43,120
Speaker 1: and everything, and it's all blurring, all right, So you

899
00:48:43,280 --> 00:48:45,080
Speaker 1: tell me the draft thing you were gonna bring up.

900
00:48:45,120 --> 00:48:47,160
Speaker 1: Wait a minute, I'm foggy, Go ahead, pay off the

901
00:48:47,200 --> 00:48:50,560
Speaker 1: tea's well. I said this to Ron and Clinton. They

902
00:48:50,560 --> 00:48:52,520
Speaker 1: asked me, like, what one thing did you take out

903
00:48:52,560 --> 00:48:55,200
Speaker 1: of it? And and ironically, we're gonna talk about the

904
00:48:55,280 --> 00:48:59,960
Speaker 1: AFC South Secondary because coach was talking about different positions

905
00:49:00,080 --> 00:49:02,920
Speaker 1: and he mentioned safety and that's something that I've been

906
00:49:02,960 --> 00:49:07,600
Speaker 1: saying I felt like would be one of the priorities.

907
00:49:08,160 --> 00:49:11,239
Speaker 1: And you know, with Tshun Gibson banged up at the

908
00:49:11,360 --> 00:49:14,080
Speaker 1: end of last year, and then you got two new players,

909
00:49:14,239 --> 00:49:17,160
Speaker 1: Eric Murray and Jalen Watkins. You know, coming to the roster,

910
00:49:17,239 --> 00:49:19,960
Speaker 1: you stall have aj Moore. So on the surface you

911
00:49:19,960 --> 00:49:22,440
Speaker 1: look at and think, okay, you've got depth there, right,

912
00:49:23,200 --> 00:49:25,880
Speaker 1: But you know Gipp's coming off the injury. You got

913
00:49:25,920 --> 00:49:28,920
Speaker 1: two guys that are new that don't know the system

914
00:49:29,000 --> 00:49:33,080
Speaker 1: and don't know the defense. And we just outlined about

915
00:49:33,160 --> 00:49:35,640
Speaker 1: winning the off season. You never know when you're gonna

916
00:49:35,800 --> 00:49:37,520
Speaker 1: sign a guy and then go, oh my gosh, this

917
00:49:37,640 --> 00:49:40,520
Speaker 1: just doesn't This just doesn't work. It doesn't fit. He's

918
00:49:40,560 --> 00:49:43,560
Speaker 1: not blending in. It's just not the right player. And

919
00:49:43,760 --> 00:49:45,960
Speaker 1: I look at safety and I think, and part of

920
00:49:45,960 --> 00:49:48,919
Speaker 1: the reason I bring this up is I there's there's

921
00:49:48,960 --> 00:49:52,560
Speaker 1: no Sean Taylor in his draft. There's no you know,

922
00:49:52,719 --> 00:49:55,920
Speaker 1: Paulomell or ed Read and his draft. Xavian McKinney is

923
00:49:55,920 --> 00:49:57,400
Speaker 1: my highest rate safety. I think I have met like

924
00:49:57,480 --> 00:49:59,719
Speaker 1: sixteen or eighteen or something like that, and then Grant

925
00:49:59,760 --> 00:50:02,840
Speaker 1: del but the next one at forty. But they're to

926
00:50:03,000 --> 00:50:08,520
Speaker 1: me from Delpot at forty through about eighty four. I

927
00:50:08,680 --> 00:50:11,839
Speaker 1: probably have about five or six guys, maybe a little

928
00:50:11,840 --> 00:50:13,799
Speaker 1: bit more than that. Then I look at him, think

929
00:50:14,160 --> 00:50:16,120
Speaker 1: that guy would be a really good fit, whether it's

930
00:50:16,160 --> 00:50:19,399
Speaker 1: at forty or somehow at ninety. One of those guys

931
00:50:19,480 --> 00:50:22,719
Speaker 1: dropped to ninety that I felt like safety would be

932
00:50:22,760 --> 00:50:26,680
Speaker 1: a spot where you look and go, Okay, Safeties are

933
00:50:26,840 --> 00:50:31,120
Speaker 1: now a lot different than what they looked like when

934
00:50:31,360 --> 00:50:34,280
Speaker 1: on Taylor Eduard and Troy Palamono. Those guys were all ballhawks,

935
00:50:34,360 --> 00:50:38,200
Speaker 1: but they could thump too old school days. Roy Williams

936
00:50:38,200 --> 00:50:39,520
Speaker 1: the guy to just get out in the box. All

937
00:50:39,560 --> 00:50:42,440
Speaker 1: he did was tackle people. He couldn't cover anybody. Well, now,

938
00:50:42,480 --> 00:50:44,759
Speaker 1: when you're coming from college football, you better be able

939
00:50:44,800 --> 00:50:46,960
Speaker 1: to cover somebody. And that's why I think the Texans

940
00:50:47,000 --> 00:50:49,839
Speaker 1: did a home roll with Justin Reid because he had coverability.

941
00:50:49,840 --> 00:50:52,600
Speaker 1: He could blitz, he can play any alley, he can

942
00:50:53,239 --> 00:50:55,920
Speaker 1: play in the middle third. There's nothing you really can't

943
00:50:56,000 --> 00:51:00,800
Speaker 1: do with Justin Reid defensively, you put an another athlete

944
00:51:00,880 --> 00:51:03,640
Speaker 1: next to him like that, you've got an opportunity to

945
00:51:03,719 --> 00:51:07,480
Speaker 1: start doing some really good things. And what I told

946
00:51:07,520 --> 00:51:10,360
Speaker 1: them was look in the game against Kansas City in

947
00:51:10,440 --> 00:51:14,239
Speaker 1: the playoff game, Lonnie Johnson was the only guy that

948
00:51:14,360 --> 00:51:16,480
Speaker 1: was gonna cover Travis Kelsey. They're gonna play man and

949
00:51:16,520 --> 00:51:18,879
Speaker 1: a man. Lonnie was the only guy that was gonna

950
00:51:18,920 --> 00:51:20,920
Speaker 1: do that. Well, if you've got a few guys that

951
00:51:21,040 --> 00:51:23,680
Speaker 1: you can throw at a guy like Travis Kelsey, the

952
00:51:23,760 --> 00:51:25,640
Speaker 1: better off you're gonna be. And I just think there

953
00:51:25,680 --> 00:51:30,279
Speaker 1: are some really athletic cover safeties in this draft, like

954
00:51:30,440 --> 00:51:31,880
Speaker 1: every guy. I mean, there are a couple of my

955
00:51:31,960 --> 00:51:34,480
Speaker 1: look at their big dudes, and I'm like, Okay, they're

956
00:51:34,480 --> 00:51:36,360
Speaker 1: gonna help. They can run, they can hit a little bit,

957
00:51:36,440 --> 00:51:38,600
Speaker 1: but they can all cover. And I think that's the

958
00:51:38,680 --> 00:51:40,480
Speaker 1: one thing I look at safeties now a little bit

959
00:51:40,520 --> 00:51:42,360
Speaker 1: differently than maybe I ever have, and I see some

960
00:51:42,480 --> 00:51:45,040
Speaker 1: guys that would kind of fit the bill of being

961
00:51:45,200 --> 00:51:49,120
Speaker 1: different than maybe what the Texans already have. All Right,

962
00:51:49,160 --> 00:51:52,359
Speaker 1: who's got the best secondary in the AFC South? Because

963
00:51:52,440 --> 00:51:55,840
Speaker 1: now you have Jacksonville with no a J. Boyer, no

964
00:51:56,120 --> 00:51:58,879
Speaker 1: Jail and Ramsey. I mean, it's amazing when you look

965
00:51:58,920 --> 00:52:01,359
Speaker 1: at how bare the covered is. I don't I don't

966
00:52:01,360 --> 00:52:03,440
Speaker 1: want to take anything away from d J. Hayden and

967
00:52:03,680 --> 00:52:08,600
Speaker 1: Rashaan Melvin and Trey Hertenon. Okay, well you can't. H Yeah,

968
00:52:08,680 --> 00:52:12,320
Speaker 1: what about the safety is Ronnie Harrison and Jared Wilson. Okay,

969
00:52:12,600 --> 00:52:15,359
Speaker 1: they're they're they're probably the best right now, I would

970
00:52:15,360 --> 00:52:17,960
Speaker 1: say outside of Miles Jack, and I'm not assuming that

971
00:52:18,040 --> 00:52:20,680
Speaker 1: Jannickway is going back. I mean, you got Josh Allen,

972
00:52:20,719 --> 00:52:23,200
Speaker 1: you got Miles Jack, and you got those two guys um,

973
00:52:23,280 --> 00:52:25,600
Speaker 1: and that's that's really that's really the defense, and I

974
00:52:25,680 --> 00:52:29,600
Speaker 1: think they're solid. I think Harrison is one of those

975
00:52:29,640 --> 00:52:32,439
Speaker 1: safeties that's more like Roy Williams. I think he's better

976
00:52:32,520 --> 00:52:34,920
Speaker 1: around the box. I don't think he's great and coverage.

977
00:52:34,960 --> 00:52:36,440
Speaker 1: Jerry Wilson is a little bit of a surprise. I

978
00:52:36,520 --> 00:52:38,560
Speaker 1: think he's done some he's done some really good things

979
00:52:38,600 --> 00:52:43,320
Speaker 1: for them. But uh, that secondary is fourth the secondary

980
00:52:43,440 --> 00:52:45,319
Speaker 1: that I can't believe. I'm gonna say this. I think

981
00:52:45,360 --> 00:52:49,560
Speaker 1: Tennessee probably has the best overall secondary. Alcolm Mother, Dorry

982
00:52:49,640 --> 00:52:54,000
Speaker 1: Jackson Bayard at safety. It feels like Tennessee is the

983
00:52:54,200 --> 00:52:58,200
Speaker 1: best secondary at this particular moment. I think a Monny

984
00:52:58,280 --> 00:53:00,480
Speaker 1: Hooker is going to end up moving into a star spot.

985
00:53:00,600 --> 00:53:03,440
Speaker 1: Still have Kenny Vaccaro there, so they've got three safeties

986
00:53:03,600 --> 00:53:07,200
Speaker 1: that are very very good. Um, I think Tennessee secondary

987
00:53:07,360 --> 00:53:10,360
Speaker 1: is probably the best. And oh, by the way, we

988
00:53:10,680 --> 00:53:14,440
Speaker 1: lit them up in Tennessee last year. Dad lit him up,

989
00:53:14,480 --> 00:53:19,960
Speaker 1: absolutely lit him up. Absolutely good point and the Colts Hooker,

990
00:53:22,480 --> 00:53:28,080
Speaker 1: you got Xavier Rhodes that they just required for Minnesota. Rocket. Yeah, yeah,

991
00:53:28,640 --> 00:53:31,040
Speaker 1: I'd like Rock. I like Rock. I think Rock's gonna

992
00:53:31,080 --> 00:53:34,480
Speaker 1: be a solid player. When I did my football one

993
00:53:34,520 --> 00:53:38,000
Speaker 1: on one, I made sure that I highlighted TJ carry

994
00:53:38,520 --> 00:53:41,759
Speaker 1: um because t J Carry was all over hot like

995
00:53:41,880 --> 00:53:44,360
Speaker 1: a cheap suit in twenty seventeen when he tried to

996
00:53:44,400 --> 00:53:47,840
Speaker 1: cover Brandon Cooks. It was a feudal effort. So hopefully

997
00:53:48,000 --> 00:53:49,839
Speaker 1: that's what the Colts trying to do. T J Carry

998
00:53:49,960 --> 00:53:51,719
Speaker 1: is covered Brandon Cooks, that would be kind of nice.

999
00:53:51,960 --> 00:53:54,520
Speaker 1: I'm not I'm not completely buying the Colts secondary at

1000
00:53:54,520 --> 00:53:57,160
Speaker 1: this point. I think the Colts front seven absolutely, we

1001
00:53:57,239 --> 00:53:58,719
Speaker 1: talked about that a couple of nights ago. I think

1002
00:53:58,719 --> 00:54:03,640
Speaker 1: the front seven saw very very good secondary. I still

1003
00:54:03,719 --> 00:54:05,640
Speaker 1: think the secondary can be had. I think Rocks can

1004
00:54:05,719 --> 00:54:09,880
Speaker 1: be a good player, very good player. But I'm you know,

1005
00:54:10,000 --> 00:54:13,200
Speaker 1: Quincy Wilson hasn't turned into a dude yet. Lee Hooker

1006
00:54:13,400 --> 00:54:16,400
Speaker 1: is being good, but not great. He's been banged up

1007
00:54:16,400 --> 00:54:19,400
Speaker 1: a little bit. They may go Cary Willis is the

1008
00:54:19,440 --> 00:54:22,439
Speaker 1: other safety. So I am not completely I'm not buying

1009
00:54:22,480 --> 00:54:24,759
Speaker 1: a Colt secondary. I think that's where if you can

1010
00:54:24,800 --> 00:54:26,760
Speaker 1: get the ball off, I think you've got an opportunity

1011
00:54:26,800 --> 00:54:28,759
Speaker 1: to move the ball against him. You just gotta get

1012
00:54:28,800 --> 00:54:31,360
Speaker 1: the ball off with the fourth putner. Now I'm the

1013
00:54:31,400 --> 00:54:33,400
Speaker 1: middle of Banner. Go on your edge, justin Houston, on

1014
00:54:33,480 --> 00:54:35,880
Speaker 1: your edge. If you get the ball off, you got

1015
00:54:35,960 --> 00:54:37,600
Speaker 1: a chance to move the football against him. And that's

1016
00:54:37,640 --> 00:54:39,840
Speaker 1: the hope that you can protect the sean and let

1017
00:54:39,960 --> 00:54:42,080
Speaker 1: him go to work against that secondary. So I think

1018
00:54:42,120 --> 00:54:48,440
Speaker 1: it's Tennessee. Tennessee just has probably more recognizable names. There'll

1019
00:54:48,440 --> 00:54:49,959
Speaker 1: be a few names added through the draft, so it'll

1020
00:54:49,960 --> 00:54:51,279
Speaker 1: be exciting to see what happens. But I think it's

1021
00:54:51,280 --> 00:54:53,839
Speaker 1: Tennessee right now. All right, Johnny, let's have a fun

1022
00:54:53,920 --> 00:54:56,439
Speaker 1: Friday Tomorrow. We're gonna have David Johnson on the show.

1023
00:54:56,520 --> 00:54:59,359
Speaker 1: That'll be great. And the draft is one week from

1024
