Speaker 1: I got to represent the big man.

26
00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:06,880
Speaker 5: That's true.

27
00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:08,520
Speaker 4: When you went on road trips, did you treat that

28
00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:11,760
Speaker 4: as an opportunity to get Natalie clad to look nice

29
00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:12,920
Speaker 4: in the road trips.

30
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:16,720
Speaker 1: Or absolutely because I didn't take any those trips with you.

31
00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:18,560
Speaker 1: When else are we going to get drinking?

32
00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:21,840
Speaker 2: But you know what the semi tragedy of that is,

33
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:25,520
Speaker 2: that was before the days of arrival on social media

34
00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:26,200
Speaker 2: and stuff.

35
00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:27,440

38
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:32,280
Speaker 1: All right.

39
00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:34,399
Speaker 2: By the way, Chester Pitts and I tweeted this out,

40
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:37,560
Speaker 2: you hold the iron Man record consecutive starts for the

41
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:40,959
Speaker 2: Houston Texans among position players because John Weeks has played

42
00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:41,759
Speaker 2: in a billion games.

43
00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:46,319
Speaker 1: I love you, but in real life, your whole career.

44
00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:49,800
Speaker 1: I did that in one game I love We love you, Bro,

45
00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:52,400
Speaker 1: we love you. But here's the thing.

46
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:53,360
Speaker 5: It didn't take long.

47
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:57,880
Speaker 1: He's always available when whenever, whenever his number is called,

48
00:01:58,120 --> 00:01:59,360
Speaker 1: he's trotting out on the fields.

49
00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:01,720
Speaker 2: You know what I can pay. It's like utility. It's

50
00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:04,000
Speaker 2: like plumbing or electricity. When you don't have it.

51
00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:04,520
Speaker 5: You know it.

52
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:08,919
Speaker 2: If you didn't have Weeks, if Weeks doesn't do his job, everything.

53
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:10,239
Speaker 1: Goes as hurt very quickly.

54
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:12,240
Speaker 4: Just I was thinking about this, I was actually walking

55
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:13,959
Speaker 4: into the store today and got a kind of a

56
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:15,639
Speaker 4: banged up foot, and I was like, man, what must

57
00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:19,280
Speaker 4: have be to play through an injury? And you played

58
00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:22,520
Speaker 4: so many games in a row, didn't miss anything. How

59
00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:24,600
Speaker 4: often did you feel like, you know what, I don't

60
00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:25,600
Speaker 4: know if I got it today?

61
00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:27,040
Speaker 5: And yet you still went.

62
00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:30,160
Speaker 1: Well, here's the thing. You have to tell yourself that

63
00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:32,799
Speaker 1: you got it. Yeah, you can't. You can't let you

64
00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:35,200
Speaker 1: can't let I don't know creep into your mind.

65
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:35,440
Speaker 3: Right.

66
00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:37,440
Speaker 1: I would, literally I would. I would be beat up.

67
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:40,160
Speaker 1: It would be Monday or Tuesday, and I would say,

68
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:42,600
Speaker 1: you know what, I'm not gonna practice Wednesday, and I'm

69
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:45,560
Speaker 1: not gonna practice Thursday. I'll be full go Friday, let's

70
00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:47,639
Speaker 1: go like that was the mindset. You had to think

71
00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:49,840
Speaker 1: about it like that, because as soon as you start

72
00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:52,840
Speaker 1: letting it add up and you start telling the truth

73
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:56,280
Speaker 1: and you start being honest with your own body, man,

74
00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:02,240
Speaker 1: show big ass down, it'll say it in the hurry.

75
00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:04,720
Speaker 1: So no, you can't. You just can't let that.

76
00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:06,919
Speaker 2: And toward the end you have to be feeling out

77
00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:08,760
Speaker 2: a little bit. But we'll get it too. That and

78
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:11,160
Speaker 2: you are a former teammate of the head coach as well,

79
00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:13,240
Speaker 2: deb goo Ryans. Let's talk about that a little bit.

80
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:15,959
Speaker 2: But let's do this because we are at BMW of

81
00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:21,040
Speaker 2: the Woodlands. So people at attendance or people riding by

82
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:23,440
Speaker 2: and nobody in attendance can look this up. And I've

83
00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:26,840
Speaker 2: got my eyes on all of you. So you're on

84
00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:29,520
Speaker 2: forty five north or south, you want to come to

85
00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:33,120
Speaker 2: BMW of the Woodlands. It's on the southbound feeder just

86
00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:36,320
Speaker 2: south of College Park. So those of you who live

87
00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:39,400
Speaker 2: in the land of the Woods understand where we are at.

88
00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:44,720
Speaker 2: Here's the question when Techans tickets, Texans tickets and Julia,

89
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:47,120
Speaker 2: who's helping us out today? What game is this? You

90
00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:48,640
Speaker 2: know what? I think we can pick any game?

91
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:48,840
Speaker 1: Right?

92
00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:49,760
Speaker 2: Can we pick any game?

93
00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:50,400
Speaker 5: Any game?

94
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:52,960
Speaker 2: You get to pick your game. Really, you can pick

95
00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:56,120
Speaker 2: what day October one. By the way, there's a Chester

96
00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:59,400
Speaker 2: tie in with Watt as well, and I'll get to

97
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:01,560
Speaker 2: that in a moment. It's a loose tie in, but

98
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:04,360
Speaker 2: I'll get to it. Here's the question, Well, Chester Pitts

99
00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:07,400
Speaker 2: had all those starts one hundred and nineteen. I believe

100
00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:11,400
Speaker 2: that's the number. Oh, it was one sixteen and one sixteen.

101
00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:13,520
Speaker 5: It's too ahead of Chris Myers.

102
00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:17,159
Speaker 2: Chris, I remember I texted you the day that Myers

103
00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:18,760
Speaker 2: hung them up because I said, you know what, you

104
00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:21,840
Speaker 2: still got it, buddy, you still got the record. I

105
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:26,320
Speaker 2: was watching that one close. Oh yeah, not that you knew.

106
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:28,640
Speaker 4: Did you reply to Chris at that point you'd say,

107
00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:29,600
Speaker 4: too short, my man.

108
00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:31,880
Speaker 1: I did not rub that in. I did not know,

109
00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:34,320
Speaker 1: because here's the thing he got, he got released at

110
00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:36,800
Speaker 1: the Endah, you know, yeah, it's it's it's still kind

111
00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:38,040
Speaker 1: of a yeah, bitter taste.

112
00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:40,560
Speaker 2: It's the exact exact thing, all right. So you have

113
00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:44,240
Speaker 2: the most consecutive starts among position players, obviously. The first

114
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:46,240
Speaker 2: start was September eight, two thousand and two, against the

115
00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:52,280
Speaker 2: Dallas Cowboys. What was Chester's second start, the second start

116
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:54,760
Speaker 2: of his career, which is the second game in franchise

117
00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:57,720
Speaker 2: history ever, Oh my god, regular season? So you get

118
00:04:57,760 --> 00:04:59,240
Speaker 2: it right, first, come on in to be in w

119
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:01,200
Speaker 2: of the woodlands. Give you Texans tickets, you get to

120
00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:03,120
Speaker 2: pick the game, and you get parking two, which is

121
00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:06,360
Speaker 2: all important, as we all know. So that's it.

122
00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:08,400
Speaker 5: Are you giving any hints? Startin?

123
00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:10,520
Speaker 2: No hands unless we need you a little bit later,

124
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:13,880
Speaker 2: all right, no hants? Are you kidding? I gave them

125
00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:14,400
Speaker 2: the answer.

126
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:15,520
Speaker 1: I definitely know this.

127
00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:18,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, good for you, but that's impressive.

128
00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:22,360
Speaker 1: But ask me the second game of my second season, No.

129
00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:26,119
Speaker 2: Idea Saints Saints at the super Dome and Seth Payne

130
00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:28,320
Speaker 2: got hurt and was out for the year that he.

131
00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:29,920
Speaker 1: Tore his hamstring off.

132
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:34,160
Speaker 4: The oh I remember now, It's happened a few time

133
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:37,279
Speaker 4: to Texas, Dante Robinson torn the hamstring off.

134
00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:39,200
Speaker 5: So I wanted to cry when I heard that.

135
00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:41,960
Speaker 2: My kid is a party game where he'll say dud

136
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:45,479
Speaker 2: Week five, two thousand and seven, he literally did this

137
00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:47,520
Speaker 2: and the Netherlands in front of all the all the

138
00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:49,920
Speaker 2: relatives Week five, two thousand and seven. It took me

139
00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:53,039
Speaker 2: a second. I was like, Miami Chris Brown three field goals,

140
00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:55,880
Speaker 2: fifty seven yard to win it, and everyone's what, you

141
00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:57,520
Speaker 2: know that off the top of your head, But that's just.

142
00:05:57,480 --> 00:05:59,080
Speaker 1: What I do. Zero chance.

143
00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:01,480
Speaker 2: I knew that one chances and you played it, played

144
00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:04,240
Speaker 2: every play of that game.

145
00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:06,320
Speaker 1: Zero But is there.

146
00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:08,400
Speaker 5: One that you but is there one that you remember?

147
00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:11,880
Speaker 5: You go, oh yeah that one week? Ten week? You

148
00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:14,039
Speaker 5: know what? Is there one that you absolutely remember?

149
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:16,080
Speaker 1: I don't remember what week it was, but it was

150
00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:18,720
Speaker 1: the first time we beat Indy at home. Yeah, was

151
00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:19,320
Speaker 1: it Christmas?

152
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:21,920
Speaker 2: It was Christmas Eve. It was Christmas Eve, two thousand.

153
00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:24,280
Speaker 1: And Ron dag when we're Ron go for one hundred

154
00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:24,960
Speaker 1: and seventy that.

155
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:30,239
Speaker 2: Day, one fifty one I think one plus.

156
00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:32,880
Speaker 1: I think it was one seventy total rushing for the game,

157
00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:36,240
Speaker 1: caught a touchdown. I remember that. The best part of

158
00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:39,160
Speaker 1: that entire game was in the fourth quarter, with about

159
00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:41,480
Speaker 1: four minutes ago in the game, and we had we

160
00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:43,720
Speaker 1: had controlled the game, we controlled the ball all game.

161
00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:48,760

162
00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:54,200
Speaker 1: of one Peyton manning over there. It was so salty

163
00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:56,280
Speaker 1: that they couldn't do. They couldn't stop the run. Keep

164
00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:58,360
Speaker 1: keep him on the sideline. He can't beat you. That

165
00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:00,719
Speaker 1: was that was the game plan, and we cuted it.

166
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:03,080
Speaker 2: To a team and David had to make one big

Speaker 1: Absolutely. Yes, you tell us.

184
00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:38,520
Speaker 2: Chester because O line is a bit different, because a

185
00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:40,320
Speaker 2: lot of you guys slimmed down or maybe go in

186
00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:43,440
Speaker 2: the other direction. You slimmed down after playing, not.

187
00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:45,400
Speaker 1: As much as I would like. But yes, I'm not

188
00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:46,880
Speaker 1: as heavy as I was when I was playing.

189
00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:51,040
Speaker 2: No question, you've lost a person since you were playing.

190
00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:53,480
Speaker 1: Okay, So I'm gonna tell you my trick. My real

191
00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:58,080
Speaker 1: trick is I found out I have Celiac, so I

192
00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:02,120
Speaker 1: don't eat bread and gluten anymore, which the whole time,

193
00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:04,520
Speaker 1: my whole life, I was eating it. So I was

194
00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:12,120
Speaker 1: walking around in a constant state of puffiness. What's up? Man? As?

195
00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:16,320
Speaker 1: So I always, until I was thirty one, looked a

196
00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:18,360
Speaker 1: little bit bigger than I was because.

197
00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:19,920
Speaker 5: I was swollen from So how did you find out?

198
00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:20,960
Speaker 5: How did you find out?

199
00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:23,760
Speaker 1: The quality blood test? They finally got better and better

200
00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:25,760
Speaker 1: and better in the process of elimination.

201
00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:28,280
Speaker 2: Did you get over that though? I tested positive for

202
00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:31,280
Speaker 2: siliac once and now it's kind of better or something,

203
00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:33,640
Speaker 2: or maybe it's not. And I'm just, you know, not puffy.

204
00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:36,200
Speaker 1: I don't know. I would I would say I doubt

205
00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:39,120
Speaker 1: it because that one I don't My body does not

206
00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:42,080
Speaker 1: create the enzyme that's required to break down.

207
00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:43,880
Speaker 2: Well, that's why you're asking. By the way, we're giving

215
00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:06,320
Speaker 1: same as silly disease.

216
00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:09,520
Speaker 2: Oh there's a difference, because you were asking about the

217
00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:11,960
Speaker 2: gluten and I said those have extra gluten in them.

218
00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:12,880
Speaker 2: Now they really don't.

219
00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:15,040
Speaker 5: Gluten is the devil for me really.

220
00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:18,160
Speaker 4: Just we're talking about slimming down and I remember seeing

221
00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:22,080
Speaker 4: Lamar Conslid's greatest player, Alan Fanica slim down.

222
00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:24,480
Speaker 5: I was like, oh my, it's striking. When you see

223
00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:25,920
Speaker 5: a lineman that has slimmed down.

224
00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:30,360
Speaker 1: He's skinny like mckinne, like Steve McKinnon. Yeah, seventy is

225
00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:31,880
Speaker 1: he the.

226
00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:33,840
Speaker 4: One guy you can remember that's probably slimmed down the

227
00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:36,000
Speaker 4: most because Steve Stephen shows himself to.

228
00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:38,360
Speaker 5: Me, I'm like Steve McKinny, haven't senior in years.

229
00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:40,400
Speaker 1: I can't think of his name right now, but he

230
00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:44,880
Speaker 1: played for He was an offensive lineman for the Broncos.

231
00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:48,160
Speaker 1: He's the skinniest. He's lost I think one hundred and

232
00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:48,920
Speaker 1: thirty pounds.

233
00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:50,600
Speaker 5: Whoa who's a human being?

234
00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:52,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's lost one hundred there. He used to be

235
00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:56,360
Speaker 1: three forty three fifty. He's strutting around two hundred pounds

236
00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:58,600
Speaker 1: right now, skinny skinny. I can't think of his name.

237
00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:00,000
Speaker 1: It'll come to you by the end of the show.

238
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:00,520
Speaker 5: I know Nick.

239
00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:03,760
Speaker 1: He was an offensive lineman. He played tackle. He is

240
00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:04,160
Speaker 1: a brother.

241
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:07,160
Speaker 4: Nick Hardwick played with the Chargers. He lost a time,

242
00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:08,560
Speaker 4: like in a short amount of time.

243
00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:10,440
Speaker 1: But you guy, remember he was never that. He was

244
00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:13,439
Speaker 1: never big. Nick was like to seventy five Wad he

245
00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:13,880
Speaker 1: would wait.

246
00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:16,440
Speaker 2: Wade lost.

247
00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:19,479
Speaker 1: Wade probably lost thirty.

248
00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:22,800
Speaker 4: I never thought that Wade was supposed to be like

249
00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:25,480
Speaker 4: Wade was a tremendous lineman. But you never looked at

250
00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:28,160
Speaker 4: him and went, he's supposed to be a lineman like

251
00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:28,560
Speaker 4: I was.

252
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:31,880
Speaker 1: He's built to carry three fifty right right, that's not

253
00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:34,280
Speaker 1: what his chest. He had to work very hard. He

254
00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:35,560
Speaker 1: did that absolutely.

255
00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:37,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, you have to work hard to say that heavy.

256
00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:40,800
Speaker 1: This chassis over here can carry all throwing on my back.

257
00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:43,960
Speaker 1: Whatever you need. I can just keep on carrying these

258
00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:47,720
Speaker 1: child bearing hips. So there are you. You were.

259
00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:49,360
Speaker 4: You were a special guy because you can play garden

260
00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:52,160
Speaker 4: tackle both. Did you go into a seasons going, Okay,

261
00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:54,000
Speaker 4: I'm gonna play guard, I gotta I gotta get heavier,

262
00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:55,320
Speaker 4: I gotta play tackle, I'd be lighter.

263
00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:56,719
Speaker 5: Did you kind of go into the season that way?

264
00:10:56,800 --> 00:10:58,920
Speaker 4: Or it's just whatever you were, whatever you wear and

265
00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:00,440
Speaker 4: whatever you played is whatever you played.

266
00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:02,800
Speaker 1: Where you want me to go, coach, who you want

267
00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:06,439
Speaker 1: me to block? I could not play early on because

268
00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:09,120
Speaker 1: we were just we were. We were figuring it out.

269
00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:16,480
Speaker 1: So the the best five that week constantly revolved changed,

270
00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:20,080
Speaker 1: and because they had flexibility with me, it was wherever

271
00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:22,640
Speaker 1: they wanted me. I knew, I knew the left side

272
00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:24,839
Speaker 1: very well, so I could play left guard or left tackle.

273
00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:27,319
Speaker 1: So wherever they needed me. And you know, a lot

274
00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:30,480
Speaker 1: of their projects and a lot of their experiments or

275
00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:33,400
Speaker 1: all those things I was I was a part of

276
00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:35,880
Speaker 1: because I could bounce over here, I could bounce over there.

277
00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:42,440
Speaker 1: Experiments you put that experiment, but us sometimes.

278
00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:46,520
Speaker 2: You played left tackle your rookie year right. And second,

279
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:50,400
Speaker 2: when did you go for sure theselly no way is

280
00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:53,320
Speaker 2: going to play? Was it.

281
00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:58,160
Speaker 1: Knew in training camp. We knew in training camp when

282
00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:00,760
Speaker 1: that made when his shoulder was it was he was

283
00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:04,559
Speaker 1: beginning to like start to get a little bit better.

284
00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:07,720
Speaker 1: But I mean he was holding five pounds and seven

285
00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:09,440
Speaker 1: pounds and four reps.

286
00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:11,560
Speaker 2: Oh so you guys saw that. Yeah, we never saw that.

287
00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:13,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, we could see. And we were in the take

288
00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:15,920
Speaker 1: your room together. So he was just like he told

289
00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:20,839
Speaker 1: me directly to my face, get ready, young feller. Spec

290
00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:24,000
Speaker 1: on first day, spac me on my legs and get ready,

291
00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:25,920
Speaker 1: young fella. I appreciate that.

292
00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:28,320
Speaker 4: Let me know when you were in college and you

293
00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:30,720
Speaker 4: weren't watching it, if I know, the Jaguars weren't top

294
00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:32,280
Speaker 4: of mind. But I've always had to discussion with people

295
00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:33,240
Speaker 4: because they want to fight me out.

296
00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:33,800
Speaker 1: Tony Beselli.

297
00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:36,200
Speaker 4: I'm like, he's the best left tackle I had seen

298
00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:38,000
Speaker 4: up until I've seen some others lately.

299
00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:40,200
Speaker 5: When you watched him growing up and you didn't get

300
00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:42,520
Speaker 5: a chance to see him here. But how good was he?

301
00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:46,280
Speaker 1: T Bow was nice, you know, you know what made

302
00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:49,600
Speaker 1: him really good was he was he was an extremely

303
00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:54,040
Speaker 1: effective pass blocker. But in the run game, yeah, he

304
00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:58,160
Speaker 1: really was a tough guy. And and most most left tackles,

305
00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:02,280
Speaker 1: they're not real for real tough guys. They'll they'll do

306
00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:04,960
Speaker 1: what they'll. They're big, they get in the way, they

307
00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:07,960
Speaker 1: can shield a guy, they can cover people up. Where

308
00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:10,200
Speaker 1: t Bow was. T Bow was a prick. He was

309
00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:13,480
Speaker 1: he was. He was an he was an angry, nasty,

310
00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:17,560
Speaker 1: mean football player, and that sets you apart at the

311
00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:21,360
Speaker 1: left tackle position when you also have really good feet

312
00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:23,439
Speaker 1: and you're really productive out there, and he was. And

313
00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:26,200
Speaker 1: he was super smart, so he didn't make he didn't

314
00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:29,320
Speaker 1: make mental errors. He always got himself in position. He

315
00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:31,679
Speaker 1: was extremely crafty, like he could. He would out smart

316
00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:34,200
Speaker 1: and trick the guys to steal a play here or there.

317
00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:35,839
Speaker 1: He would make guys think it's going to be a

318
00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:37,280
Speaker 1: pass when it was really going to be a round,

319
00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:38,880
Speaker 1: so they run up the field. He's smacking in the

320
00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:41,400
Speaker 1: back of the head, you know, draw a lot of

321
00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:41,920
Speaker 1: those little things.

322
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:43,520
Speaker 5: Frustrated the heck out of Bruce Smith.

323
00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:45,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what I'm saying. He was really good. But

324
00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:48,000
Speaker 1: but if you want to ask me, who was the

325
00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:51,840
Speaker 1: best left tackle to ever play the game or best

326
00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:56,080
Speaker 1: tackle to ever play the game? Walter Jones, Walter Jones,

327
00:13:56,160 --> 00:13:59,280
Speaker 1: it's over. Don't don't act me, don't don't waste my time,

328
00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:03,480
Speaker 1: don't waste your breath. Trust me, Walter Jones. The the best,

329
00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:11,439
Speaker 1: most gifted, most talented, and still extremely physical offensive lineman. Well,

330
00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:13,680
Speaker 1: let you know, tackle because Larry Allen was probably the

331
00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:18,199
Speaker 1: best interior guy because he was just he was Yeah,

332
00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:22,760
Speaker 1: he was bear. He was on the field and everybody

333
00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:25,360
Speaker 1: else was Cubs because he was just that much bigger

334
00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:28,240
Speaker 1: and stronger than everybody. And when you're that much bigger

335
00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:30,120
Speaker 1: and stronger than everybody, there's not much anybody could do.

336
00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:32,960
Speaker 2: So I want to get to Damico in a moment. Here,

337
00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:33,800
Speaker 2: Chester Pitts with us.

338
00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:34,360
Speaker 1: Let go.

339
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:39,160
Speaker 2: Kenyon Green plays guard and he's coming off an injury,

340
00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:42,200
Speaker 2: so he needs to get right for camp and we're

341
00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:44,600
Speaker 2: all hoping for big things in year two. He's gonna

342
00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:46,880
Speaker 2: be fun, Well, what's he going through right now, Chester,

343
00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:48,560
Speaker 2: and what did he go through last year that could

344
00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:50,080
Speaker 2: help him this year and that kind of thing.

345
00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:53,680
Speaker 1: Well, well, the truth of it all was going in

346
00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:56,720
Speaker 1: he wasn't one hundred percent and that that always makes

347
00:14:56,720 --> 00:14:59,760
Speaker 1: it really tough. So he had he had off season surgery,

348
00:14:59,760 --> 00:15:03,000
Speaker 1: come out of college and then had to go to

349
00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:05,760
Speaker 1: the big boy level where you don't you don't get

350
00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:07,920
Speaker 1: your shoulders rubbed and you don't get to you know,

351
00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:11,040
Speaker 1: you go from being the man in college and I'm

352
00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:14,320
Speaker 1: cool coach, I'm gonna take these reps off. But now

353
00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:17,800
Speaker 1: you the rookie, Yeah, get your you getting all the reps,

354
00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:19,920
Speaker 1: so get out there and go. And when you're trying

355
00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:23,400
Speaker 1: to heal, it's still it's still a huge volume of

356
00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:28,080
Speaker 1: work going into the season. So then that being a

357
00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:31,080
Speaker 1: rookie not knowing all the time exactly what to do,

358
00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:33,160
Speaker 1: it makes it. It makes it tough. And that's why

359
00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:35,520
Speaker 1: you saw some up and down out of him during

360
00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:37,280
Speaker 1: the season. When he was on it and when his

361
00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:39,640
Speaker 1: body was feeling good, and when he was dialed in,

362
00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:42,320
Speaker 1: he played pretty well, but then there were moments when

363
00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:44,680
Speaker 1: he got caught in the matrix out there on the field,

364
00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:47,200
Speaker 1: and you would have three or four bad plays in

365
00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:51,080
Speaker 1: a row and you don't have the skills yet to

366
00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:54,600
Speaker 1: get yourself right to be able to okay, it is

367
00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:56,800
Speaker 1: over with. It's time to get right, and I gotta

368
00:15:56,840 --> 00:15:58,440
Speaker 1: get I gotta go get a win and I need

369
00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:00,560
Speaker 1: to get a win right now. And he didn't have

370
00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:03,200
Speaker 1: that yet, But going into a second season, he'll have that.

371
00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:07,000
Speaker 1: He'll he'll feel out on the field. Uh Oh, like

372
00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:09,680
Speaker 1: I I was, I was off. I blocked him on

373
00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:12,960
Speaker 1: this play, but it wasn't very clean. It wasn't on

374
00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:15,240
Speaker 1: you know, on tape. I'm gonna say to myself, I

375
00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:17,360
Speaker 1: could have blocked that play better than that. And he's

376
00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:19,400
Speaker 1: gonna make it on the field. You're gonna go from

377
00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:22,520
Speaker 1: second down to third down and get himself right and

378
00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:25,040
Speaker 1: not have to take a series or two to get

379
00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:27,520
Speaker 1: himself right, because you know at this level, I mean,

380
00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:29,480
Speaker 1: you know how it is for an offensive lineman. Think

381
00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:33,400
Speaker 1: about it. Defensive lineman can play one hundred plays, three

382
00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:37,160
Speaker 1: sacks in ninety seven plays. They got thrown out of bounds.

383
00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:38,600
Speaker 1: They had a fantastic game.

384
00:16:38,680 --> 00:16:40,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, they can pick.

385
00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:42,000
Speaker 1: Him up and thrown out of the bar, but they

386
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:43,640
Speaker 1: got three sacks or they had a heck of a game.

387
00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:46,280
Speaker 1: That's well if you reverse it for an offensive lineman.

388
00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:50,240
Speaker 1: Ninety seven times I threw this man out of bounds,

389
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:52,480
Speaker 1: but three times I gave up sacks.

390
00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:54,680
Speaker 2: I had a terrible game, exactly.

391
00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:56,800
Speaker 1: So that's the way. That's the way it's treated as

392
00:16:56,800 --> 00:17:00,400
Speaker 1: an offensive lineman. You absolutely it's all about consistently. See,

393
00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:03,880
Speaker 1: it's all about every single play. I can count on

394
00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:06,399
Speaker 1: you to give the play makers an opportunity to go

395
00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:08,800
Speaker 1: make a play. And that's what he's got to understand.

396
00:17:08,840 --> 00:17:12,600
Speaker 1: So don't expend a bunch of energy trying to pancake somebody,

397
00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:15,240
Speaker 1: because whether you get a pancake or whether you block them,

398
00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:17,440
Speaker 1: you check don't change. But you go out there giving

399
00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:19,480
Speaker 1: up sex, your check will challenge because I'm get you

400
00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:20,760
Speaker 1: a pout of here. So that's what you got to

401
00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:23,040
Speaker 1: learn as an offensive lineman. It's not about it's not

402
00:17:23,080 --> 00:17:26,000
Speaker 1: about one play. It's about all the plays. And how

403
00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:28,560
Speaker 1: can you be known as a guy with every play.

404
00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:30,400
Speaker 1: I don't have to worry about that guy. Oh wait

405
00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:33,080
Speaker 1: a minute, he got beat? How did that happen? That's

406
00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:35,000
Speaker 1: what you once said about you as an offensive line up.

407
00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:37,119
Speaker 4: Yeah, and when he got hurt last year. I mean

408
00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:38,720
Speaker 4: he was hurt going in and then he got hurt

409
00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:40,240
Speaker 4: in a Vegas game. When he got hurt in a

410
00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:43,120
Speaker 4: Vegas game, That's when I think it changed, because then

411
00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:46,000
Speaker 4: Cohen said, then there's an intersection of oh he's banged

412
00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:50,359
Speaker 4: up with Here comes Dexter, Lawrence Fletcher Cox, Jonathan Allen,

413
00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:53,760
Speaker 4: Deron Payne and Jeffrey Simmons, all back right.

414
00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:58,840
Speaker 1: A row, and he got hit in theirst guy got

415
00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:01,359
Speaker 1: to see his mistakes, and then the second guy got

416
00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:03,680
Speaker 1: to see his mistakes and see where he was vulnerable.

417
00:18:04,119 --> 00:18:06,000
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, they was out there fresh meat, baby. That's

418
00:18:06,040 --> 00:18:09,200
Speaker 1: where That's the way it works in his business, especially

419
00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:10,800
Speaker 1: especially against the I.

420
00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:13,240
Speaker 4: Don't know that I've ever seen a like that, uh Chester,

421
00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:15,760
Speaker 4: that many interior stuff.

422
00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:18,280
Speaker 1: That's a serious run. I'm trying to think. When I

423
00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:20,920
Speaker 1: was playing, so I would we would play Tennessee and

424
00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:25,240
Speaker 1: I would get Hainesworth. Then we would play Jacksonville Henderson

425
00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:28,560
Speaker 1: and Big Henderson, and then we would play the Colts

426
00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:31,880
Speaker 1: and get and get freey because oh, by the way, yes,

427
00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:35,000
Speaker 1: that would happen. There were games where I was I

428
00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:39,280
Speaker 1: was I played guard for Tennessee in Jacksonville. Oh we're

429
00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:43,280
Speaker 1: going to go play the Coats in the RCA Dome. Oh,

430
00:18:43,359 --> 00:18:48,280
Speaker 1: you go, but bounce out. I'm like you, no, coach me, coach,

431
00:18:48,359 --> 00:18:50,240
Speaker 1: coach me, no worries. But I was just like, Okay,

432
00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:51,879
Speaker 1: that's how we're doing it, all right.

433
00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:54,840
Speaker 2: Don't you think the r Dome is the most underrated

434
00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:56,960
Speaker 2: loud stadium in your career?

435
00:18:57,280 --> 00:19:00,600
Speaker 1: Absolutely, and I don't care what anybody says. They absolutely

436
00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:04,800
Speaker 1: pump noise into that place. They absolutely pump noise into

437
00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:08,040
Speaker 1: that place before it was technically fully illegal to do.

438
00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:10,720
Speaker 2: And you played in Seattle at the end of your career.

439
00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:13,840
Speaker 2: That place is loud too, but offense and that's.

440
00:19:14,280 --> 00:19:18,920
Speaker 1: Look, that's an open air. So their case like the

441
00:19:19,040 --> 00:19:22,000
Speaker 1: places that are ridiculously loud and it's not a dome,

442
00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:26,200
Speaker 1: like it's impressive, but they well, they have said that

443
00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:31,879
Speaker 1: Seattle was designed acoustically to give you a statement extra

444
00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:35,440
Speaker 1: because there's just no way. I mean, granted, seventy thousand

445
00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:37,720
Speaker 1: people screaming, it's seventy thousand people screaming, But I don't

446
00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:40,760
Speaker 1: care if it's seventy thousand people screaming in Oklahoma or

447
00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:43,920
Speaker 1: in California or in Washington State. It's about the same,

448
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:45,840
Speaker 1: but I think that the way that place is designed

449
00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:49,240
Speaker 1: definitely has some factor in it, because remember, the loudest

450
00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:51,800
Speaker 1: has ever been. I was there for that beast quake.

451
00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:57,760
Speaker 1: I was there upstairs in the suite behind the glass,

452
00:19:58,040 --> 00:20:02,600
Speaker 1: recovering from a concussion the week before, and my head

453
00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:04,960
Speaker 1: still hurts from it being so loud. I still can't

454
00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:09,520
Speaker 1: believe how loud it was. For the playoffs. It literally

455
00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:13,800
Speaker 1: registered on the Richter scale. That's what they tripped that

456
00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:16,240
Speaker 1: that stadium. That moment when he had that big run

457
00:20:16,760 --> 00:20:18,760
Speaker 1: set off the Richter and it was like a one

458
00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:20,240
Speaker 1: point three or something crazy like that.

459
00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:22,400
Speaker 4: I mean, the lovefair was already in for that guy,

460
00:20:22,520 --> 00:20:26,760
Speaker 4: but at that point, Settle and Marshawn Lynch forever unbelievable.

461
00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:29,280
Speaker 2: All right, Chester Pitts.

462
00:20:29,160 --> 00:20:29,600
Speaker 1: Is with us.

463
00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:31,639
Speaker 2: I want to talk about your former teammate and now

464
00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:33,720
Speaker 2: head coach of the Houston Texans to meet Bill Ryans

465
00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:35,560
Speaker 2: will do that. I think we're going to go in

466
00:20:35,680 --> 00:20:38,639
Speaker 2: the ticket back Tuesday machine and listen to your super

467
00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:41,920
Speaker 2: Bowl commercial because the audio plays and I want the

468
00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:45,000
Speaker 2: explanation on the super Bowl commercial. Chester was in an

469
00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:48,240
Speaker 2: actual Super Bowl commercial and it was awesome. And we'll

Speaker 2: Yeah, I got down.

486
00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:39,240
Speaker 5: Well, I remember a big one against the Giants.

487
00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:42,440
Speaker 1: It wasn't it wasn't that it was the high volume.

488
00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:44,960
Speaker 1: It was just very inopportunity, unfortunate times.

489
00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:46,680
Speaker 5: Yeah, there were a couple, there were a couple of

490
00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:48,760
Speaker 5: tough ones, but well, what are you gonna do?

491
00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:53,520
Speaker 2: I mean, it's fine an arian fumble a little bit

492
00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:55,040
Speaker 2: and then then he straightened it out.

493
00:21:55,080 --> 00:21:57,280
Speaker 1: If the offensive lineman would have been down the field

494
00:21:57,359 --> 00:22:01,280
Speaker 1: getting extra blocks and they would see. That's how it works, right.

495
00:22:01,480 --> 00:22:05,720
Speaker 1: We gotta make you gotta make plays. It's ten guys

496
00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:08,040
Speaker 1: out there to cover is to cover much Chester? Where

497
00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:10,120
Speaker 1: were we? Where? Where was the rest of the team?

498
00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:14,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, Devin Singletary, Damian Pierce. You add Shaq Mason to

499
00:22:14,119 --> 00:22:17,960
Speaker 4: the offensive line. You you have Kenyon coming back, you

500
00:22:18,040 --> 00:22:21,360
Speaker 4: resigned Laramie, big money, you draft Chester.

501
00:22:21,720 --> 00:22:23,520
Speaker 5: How good can this run game be this year?

502
00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:24,520
Speaker 1: Well?

503
00:22:24,520 --> 00:22:26,320
Speaker 4: I should say this way because you never know how

504
00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:28,080
Speaker 4: could it's gonna be? But how much much better do

505
00:22:28,080 --> 00:22:29,320
Speaker 4: you think it's gonna be than what it's been the

506
00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:30,000
Speaker 4: last few years.

507
00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:35,359
Speaker 1: I believe that the the consistency and uh and the

508
00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:38,840
Speaker 1: week in and week out stability that has been lacking,

509
00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:42,680
Speaker 1: I think that's really gonna find its way to kind

510
00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:46,160
Speaker 1: of stabilize, to be consistently week in and week out.

511
00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:49,560
Speaker 1: If you you know, if coach Ryans is truly committed

512
00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:51,680
Speaker 1: to running the rock, that you should be able to

513
00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:53,720
Speaker 1: run for one hundred, one hundred and twenty five hundred

514
00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:56,119
Speaker 1: and thirty yards week in and week out. Because I

515
00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:57,800
Speaker 1: think the offensive line can be that good.

516
00:22:57,960 --> 00:22:59,679
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, you run for one hundred and thirty as

517
00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:02,679
Speaker 2: a team, your chances go way up if you if

518
00:23:02,720 --> 00:23:07,280
Speaker 2: you run for one third, winning percentage was probably somewhere

519
00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:10,760
Speaker 2: around eighty eighty five. All right, before we talk about

520
00:23:10,800 --> 00:23:14,040
Speaker 2: coach Ryan's I gotta get to this the super Bowl commercial.

521
00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:19,720
Speaker 2: You add former Texans left tackle Ephraim Salaam, both San

522
00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:20,919
Speaker 2: Diego State.

523
00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:25,159
Speaker 1: Alums, astext baby, right, and this is the story.

524
00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:26,639
Speaker 2: They did a who did the commercial?

525
00:23:26,760 --> 00:23:26,920
Speaker 1: Though?

526
00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:28,240
Speaker 2: Is it the league that did it?

527
00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:28,760
Speaker 4: So?

528
00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:32,600
Speaker 1: It was so it was the league. The league they man,

529
00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:35,560
Speaker 1: I'm drawing a blank right now. With Superad, that's what

530
00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:39,200
Speaker 1: it was called. The NFL created the Superad and as

531
00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:42,840
Speaker 1: a part of the Superad, they retro fitted an eighteen

532
00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:48,359
Speaker 1: wheeler and drove it across country to every single team,

533
00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:52,679
Speaker 1: and every single team when it was there, every player

534
00:23:53,119 --> 00:23:55,280
Speaker 1: went inside the truck and all that, and it was

535
00:23:55,359 --> 00:23:57,879
Speaker 1: kind of said, it was all blacked out, and it

536
00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:00,680
Speaker 1: was a chair and then there was a little and

537
00:24:00,800 --> 00:24:02,320
Speaker 1: that was all that was in the room. And you

538
00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:05,080
Speaker 1: had as much time as you wanted, and you told

539
00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:07,760
Speaker 1: your story. It could be a funny story, it could

540
00:24:07,760 --> 00:24:10,399
Speaker 1: be a serious story. It could be any story. So

541
00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:15,719
Speaker 1: it's two thousand stories that were told, and the story

542
00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:21,280
Speaker 1: of Ephraim discovering me, because he always says discovering like

543
00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:28,040
Speaker 1: the guy was gold, I was discovered. Uh. He's telling

544
00:24:28,119 --> 00:24:31,359
Speaker 1: the story of how he walked into the grocery store

545
00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:34,480
Speaker 1: and saw this big guy bagging groceries and saying, bro, bro,

546
00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:37,160
Speaker 1: you're way too big back in groceries. You can make

547
00:24:37,160 --> 00:24:39,879
Speaker 1: it to the NFL. That's that's the story from tells.

548
00:24:40,920 --> 00:24:44,200
Speaker 2: Hilarious part of this commercial is they retro fit you

549
00:24:44,359 --> 00:24:47,280
Speaker 2: to be younger, and I'm sure you look nothing like that,

550
00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:49,760
Speaker 2: but they make you look you know, they make that

551
00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:52,600
Speaker 2: hair puffier and covering more.

552
00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:56,000
Speaker 1: It was the first time I had ever seen after

553
00:24:56,080 --> 00:24:59,399
Speaker 1: a wig. Yeah, it was crazy. And then and then

554
00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:02,639
Speaker 1: a big because it's an afro wig for a normal

555
00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:06,560
Speaker 1: sized human. It's screaming trying to fit on my big

556
00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:09,000
Speaker 1: old head. Oh maybe they had to put extra glue

557
00:25:09,040 --> 00:25:13,680
Speaker 1: and everything to the crank to make it in my head.

558
00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:14,760
Speaker 2: They put the glasses on.

559
00:25:15,560 --> 00:25:18,280
Speaker 1: Because remember I did wore glasses. I wore glasses, yeah,

560
00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:21,119
Speaker 1: all the way until my rookie year. I can't remember

561
00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:24,399
Speaker 1: the doctor's name, but it was through the Texans and

562
00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:28,280
Speaker 1: they did the laser surgery for me back in two

563
00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:33,040
Speaker 1: ship into two thousand and two. The one with the

564
00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:36,119
Speaker 1: uh ye had the bow tie. What it was it

565
00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:38,440
Speaker 1: was it was the NASA guy. He did all the

566
00:25:38,560 --> 00:25:40,720
Speaker 1: NASA pilots. He was the NaSTA guy, but he was

567
00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:42,400
Speaker 1: the one that did my surgery. Really cool.

568
00:25:44,240 --> 00:25:47,240
Speaker 2: Let's play the commercial. This is Chester Fitz from Salambo.

00:28:16,560 --> 00:28:19,439
Speaker 1: down in San Diego and Ralphs's Kroger in case anybody

628
00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:22,280
Speaker 1: doesn't know, same filthy rich man at the top, same store.

629
00:28:23,280 --> 00:28:25,080
Speaker 1: So I got down to San Diego State and I said, Mom,

630
00:28:25,760 --> 00:28:28,360
Speaker 1: let's go over to the football offices. And my mom

631
00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:30,880
Speaker 1: took me to the football offices and we walked into

632
00:28:30,920 --> 00:28:34,200
Speaker 1: the offices and we said, hey, we want, we want

633
00:28:34,320 --> 00:28:37,359
Speaker 1: we teach us about how you walk on and the

634
00:28:37,400 --> 00:28:39,640
Speaker 1: coaches were like, okay, only because my mama was there,

635
00:28:39,680 --> 00:28:42,200
Speaker 1: were they nice to me. They took my information down

636
00:28:42,640 --> 00:28:43,800
Speaker 1: and they all like me, you are kind of a

637
00:28:43,840 --> 00:28:46,640
Speaker 1: big kid. But but if you I didn't play football

638
00:28:46,640 --> 00:28:50,160
Speaker 1: in high school at all. I went to the California

639
00:28:50,200 --> 00:28:53,880
Speaker 1: Academy of Mathematics and Science. Nothing about this is football, right.

640
00:28:54,200 --> 00:28:55,160
Speaker 1: There was no football team.

641
00:28:55,160 --> 00:28:57,520
Speaker 5: I would like to fall team would be interesting.

642
00:28:57,640 --> 00:29:01,600
Speaker 1: Terrible, but yes, so that is that's the real story

643
00:29:01,640 --> 00:29:04,000
Speaker 1: how we went down. But then I will say this.

644
00:29:05,280 --> 00:29:07,960
Speaker 1: I also was the big guy that worked at the

645
00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:11,200
Speaker 1: grocery store. And I worked in the evenings because it

646
00:29:11,320 --> 00:29:14,600
Speaker 1: was the opposite of school, right. So I was famous

647
00:29:14,680 --> 00:29:16,960
Speaker 1: across San Diego State because I was a keg man.

648
00:29:17,240 --> 00:29:20,959
Speaker 1: So Friday nights, Saturday nights, who else can load up

649
00:29:21,080 --> 00:29:23,800
Speaker 1: fifteen kegs in the back of trucks to get ready

650
00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:27,280
Speaker 1: a party school Because so everybody knew me from that.

651
00:29:27,680 --> 00:29:30,840
Speaker 1: I was the keg man. But yeah, that was really

652
00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:32,800
Speaker 1: my gig. I did that for a long time. So

653
00:29:33,080 --> 00:29:34,960
Speaker 1: some of the you know, the football players would come

654
00:29:34,960 --> 00:29:37,520
Speaker 1: in on Sunday nights or whatever after games, Saturday nights,

655
00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:39,480
Speaker 1: after the you know, late night after the game, get

656
00:29:39,520 --> 00:29:41,680
Speaker 1: them a keg for their parties. That's how I bumped

657
00:29:41,680 --> 00:29:44,640
Speaker 1: into Ephraman Kyle and knew some of the football guys,

658
00:29:44,680 --> 00:29:47,040
Speaker 1: and I did ask them, like, yo, how can I

659
00:29:47,120 --> 00:29:48,840
Speaker 1: do this? What can I do? And I'm pretty sure

660
00:29:48,920 --> 00:29:50,880
Speaker 1: Eframan Coyle did go over there and say, Yo, this

661
00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:52,720
Speaker 1: is big old dude in the parking lot. Because I

662
00:29:52,760 --> 00:29:55,560
Speaker 1: would challenge myself. I would push like thirty and forty

663
00:29:55,640 --> 00:29:58,080
Speaker 1: carts in at a time. Just what else am I

664
00:29:58,120 --> 00:30:00,520
Speaker 1: going to do? When you're this big and don't like football,

665
00:30:00,520 --> 00:30:02,520
Speaker 1: you gotta do something right? So I used to do that.

666
00:30:02,600 --> 00:30:05,240
Speaker 1: And then one time somebody drove out and it almost

667
00:30:05,320 --> 00:30:06,800
Speaker 1: hit their cars. Have to stop and run and go

668
00:30:06,880 --> 00:30:07,520
Speaker 1: grab the cards.

669
00:30:07,600 --> 00:30:09,600
Speaker 2: So did it blow your mind that all of a

670
00:30:09,640 --> 00:30:11,920
Speaker 2: sudden did it take How long did it How long

671
00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:13,680
Speaker 2: did it take for when you go out there for

672
00:30:13,760 --> 00:30:14,680
Speaker 2: your first practice?

673
00:30:15,240 --> 00:30:17,560
Speaker 5: I mean, had you played? Did you play? You fleague football?

674
00:30:17,640 --> 00:30:18,880
Speaker 5: Did you just not play in high school?

675
00:30:18,920 --> 00:30:21,120
Speaker 1: Like so? I? So when I was little little, I

676
00:30:21,280 --> 00:30:25,320
Speaker 1: played for like a year or two. But in California

677
00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:30,000
Speaker 1: they're extremely strict on making weight and I and I couldn't.

678
00:30:30,040 --> 00:30:32,040
Speaker 1: I was too big to make and they won't let

679
00:30:32,080 --> 00:30:34,360
Speaker 1: you go up. So you have to be eight years

680
00:30:34,400 --> 00:30:36,040
Speaker 1: old and play with the eight year olds. My dad

681
00:30:36,200 --> 00:30:38,640
Speaker 1: was like, put his big but he's huge. Put him

682
00:30:38,640 --> 00:30:39,800
Speaker 1: out there. I don't care how old they are to

683
00:30:39,840 --> 00:30:41,920
Speaker 1: put him out there, let him go play. But they wouldn't,

684
00:30:42,040 --> 00:30:45,080
Speaker 1: you know, California's rules are really strict. Pop Warner's rules

685
00:30:45,120 --> 00:30:47,920
Speaker 1: are strict. Like, so I could so I wanted to play,

686
00:30:48,040 --> 00:30:51,400
Speaker 1: but I mean I used to before games. They used

687
00:30:51,400 --> 00:30:53,200
Speaker 1: to put the trash back on me and I used

688
00:30:53,200 --> 00:30:56,160
Speaker 1: to run laps wait for the game, so I can

689
00:30:56,240 --> 00:30:57,560
Speaker 1: make the wait until I can play in.

690
00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:02,120
Speaker 4: So when you get to San Diego State, though, and

691
00:31:02,200 --> 00:31:05,400
Speaker 4: all of a sudden, now you're you put pads on really,

692
00:31:05,640 --> 00:31:07,040
Speaker 4: you know, for the first time as a as a

693
00:31:07,120 --> 00:31:07,640
Speaker 4: young adult.

694
00:31:08,160 --> 00:31:08,760
Speaker 5: How long did that?

695
00:31:09,240 --> 00:31:13,280
Speaker 4: I'm fascinated by this spend I spent Chester because it

696
00:31:13,680 --> 00:31:16,400
Speaker 4: I mean, I think about guys that started as little

697
00:31:16,440 --> 00:31:18,080
Speaker 4: and they go up and it's like they still don't

698
00:31:18,120 --> 00:31:18,320
Speaker 4: have it.

699
00:31:18,360 --> 00:31:20,840
Speaker 5: But you, in four or five years became a second

700
00:31:20,880 --> 00:31:21,720
Speaker 5: round pick. Yeah.

701
00:31:21,960 --> 00:31:24,720
Speaker 1: So when I got so when I got to San Diego, say,

702
00:31:24,800 --> 00:31:29,200
Speaker 1: I was always like I could move well, yeah for

703
00:31:29,360 --> 00:31:31,720
Speaker 1: a big guy, right, Like I remember we would play

704
00:31:31,920 --> 00:31:34,640
Speaker 1: in the street at home. I used to ride BMX,

705
00:31:35,040 --> 00:31:37,360
Speaker 1: I used to ride a skateboard. My big old but

706
00:31:37,560 --> 00:31:39,840
Speaker 1: used to do all those things. So I bent frames

707
00:31:39,880 --> 00:31:41,840
Speaker 1: on bits because I was too heavy to be jumping ramps.

708
00:31:42,280 --> 00:31:44,760
Speaker 1: I could do stuff physically. I played a little basketball

709
00:31:44,840 --> 00:31:46,640
Speaker 1: like I could. I could move around, but I've never

710
00:31:47,080 --> 00:31:49,680
Speaker 1: really I didn't play formal football because my mom put

711
00:31:49,760 --> 00:31:52,920
Speaker 1: me in the all academics high school. Right, So get

712
00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:56,760
Speaker 1: San Diego State and they call. So that year went

713
00:31:56,880 --> 00:31:59,080
Speaker 1: by the first semester, so nineteen ninety seven was the

714
00:31:59,120 --> 00:32:03,160
Speaker 1: first semester. Second semester. I got the call that says, hey,

715
00:32:03,360 --> 00:32:06,200
Speaker 1: remember you came by the office, Well, if you want

716
00:32:06,200 --> 00:32:08,680
Speaker 1: to walk on, tryouts are happening on this day. And

717
00:32:08,800 --> 00:32:11,320
Speaker 1: it was like five forty five in the morning. Because

718
00:32:11,360 --> 00:32:13,920
Speaker 1: because seneg what San Diego State used to do is

719
00:32:14,160 --> 00:32:17,000
Speaker 1: Mondays and Fridays, the little guys ran all the fast guys,

720
00:32:17,280 --> 00:32:19,680

Speaker 1: interior backers the outside backers ran on the other day.

723
00:32:30,760 --> 00:32:33,280
Speaker 1: So I came out that first day literally died. I

724
00:32:33,320 --> 00:32:34,920
Speaker 1: didn't think I was gonna ever make it, but I

725
00:32:34,960 --> 00:32:38,360
Speaker 1: didn't quit. I was so exhausted and so tired from

726
00:32:38,440 --> 00:32:40,320
Speaker 1: doing because I I didn't work out and do nothing.

727
00:32:40,880 --> 00:32:43,680
Speaker 1: I remember there's these steps that lead down to where

728
00:32:44,280 --> 00:32:47,440
Speaker 1: the arena was. Viehas is the name of it now. Yeah,

729
00:32:48,480 --> 00:32:51,560
Speaker 1: it was seven point thirty. I was like, let me

730
00:32:51,640 --> 00:32:54,440
Speaker 1: just sit on the stets for a second. I fell

731
00:32:54,560 --> 00:32:59,360
Speaker 1: asleep sitting on the stairs in the middle of campus.

732
00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:03,200
Speaker 1: Didn't wake up to like nine o'clock. I missed my

733
00:33:03,280 --> 00:33:05,840
Speaker 1: eight o'clock class. That's how that's how tired I was.

734
00:33:05,960 --> 00:33:08,320
Speaker 1: That was when I was like, okay, it's different. So

735
00:33:08,440 --> 00:33:10,640
Speaker 1: then you know, I went through that. I never quit

736
00:33:10,680 --> 00:33:13,600
Speaker 1: on conditioning. I kept showing up. My feet got better.

737
00:33:13,640 --> 00:33:15,239
Speaker 1: I learned how to do the quick foot ladder, all

738
00:33:15,280 --> 00:33:17,760
Speaker 1: of those things, like, oh this guy can he can move,

739
00:33:18,120 --> 00:33:19,560
Speaker 1: so let's see what happens when we get out of it.

740
00:33:19,600 --> 00:33:21,240
Speaker 1: But I didn't know what I was doing, so I

741
00:33:21,240 --> 00:33:23,120
Speaker 1: would so I would just do the drills. I'll be

742
00:33:23,200 --> 00:33:24,960
Speaker 1: the last one in the line. I would do the

743
00:33:25,040 --> 00:33:27,600
Speaker 1: high knees and I would just try so. Then when

744
00:33:27,680 --> 00:33:29,800
Speaker 1: it was time to actually go play football, I didn't

745
00:33:29,960 --> 00:33:34,080
Speaker 1: understand it because it was a completely different language. Thirty

746
00:33:34,080 --> 00:33:36,880
Speaker 1: four zone and inside outside and taking braking all the

747
00:33:36,960 --> 00:33:39,800
Speaker 1: call is it? And I would just is it a

748
00:33:39,880 --> 00:33:41,800
Speaker 1: runner or pass? We're going to the right or we're

749
00:33:41,800 --> 00:33:43,840
Speaker 1: going to the left. That's all I needed. That's all

750
00:33:43,880 --> 00:33:45,400
Speaker 1: I needed to know. And I was like, I got

751
00:33:45,440 --> 00:33:47,400
Speaker 1: this guy or I got this guy, and I just

752
00:33:47,400 --> 00:33:48,960
Speaker 1: got it. Just just know if it's a runner pass.

753
00:33:49,320 --> 00:33:50,840
Speaker 1: So I did that for I did that for a

754
00:33:50,920 --> 00:33:54,280
Speaker 1: whole year then and then it came around to the

755
00:33:54,360 --> 00:33:56,840
Speaker 1: next year. I made the travel squad. But I just

756
00:33:57,040 --> 00:33:59,240
Speaker 1: I just got a little by little, and it was

757
00:33:59,440 --> 00:34:02,600
Speaker 1: I look, it was actually easier than the norm because

758
00:34:02,600 --> 00:34:05,280
Speaker 1: I learned how to do it right the first time,

759
00:34:05,640 --> 00:34:08,239
Speaker 1: so I didn't have bad habits. I didn't have bad technique.

760
00:34:08,440 --> 00:34:10,919
Speaker 1: I learned how to do it right the first time.

761
00:34:11,400 --> 00:34:13,160
Speaker 1: And coach said, do it like this, So I did

762
00:34:13,200 --> 00:34:14,920
Speaker 1: it like that. And whenever I did it like that,

763
00:34:15,040 --> 00:34:17,000
Speaker 1: I got praised, and when I didn't do it like that,

764
00:34:17,120 --> 00:34:19,000
Speaker 1: I got yelled at. So I'm a smart kid. I'm

765
00:34:19,000 --> 00:34:20,160
Speaker 1: gonna just do it the way he said do it

766
00:34:20,200 --> 00:34:22,359
Speaker 1: so I don't get yelled at anymore. And they worked.

767
00:34:23,120 --> 00:34:25,440
Speaker 1: So that's that's how I got good. I went from

768
00:34:25,920 --> 00:34:30,120
Speaker 1: backing groceries to the second round pick and the fiftieth

769
00:34:30,120 --> 00:34:32,719
Speaker 1: pick of the draft. Texans appreciate you.

770
00:34:32,960 --> 00:34:35,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean I knew about the grocery stores. I mean,

771
00:34:35,880 --> 00:34:38,040
Speaker 4: I knew about that. I didn't realize that you didn't

772
00:34:38,040 --> 00:34:38,840
Speaker 4: play in high school.

773
00:34:38,840 --> 00:34:39,120
Speaker 1: I didn't.

774
00:34:39,160 --> 00:34:39,880
Speaker 5: I didn't realize that.

775
00:34:40,040 --> 00:34:43,680
Speaker 1: No, junior high incredible. I want to say I was ten.

776
00:34:44,440 --> 00:34:46,120
Speaker 1: I was nine, and ten was the last time I

777
00:34:46,200 --> 00:34:49,360
Speaker 1: played Pop Warner. And then there was nothing all the

778
00:34:49,400 --> 00:34:51,880
Speaker 1: way through until San Diego State and that was that.

779
00:34:52,400 --> 00:34:54,960
Speaker 1: And then that was not until my second year at

780
00:34:55,040 --> 00:34:56,760
Speaker 1: San Diego State and walked out because you can remember,

781
00:34:56,960 --> 00:34:59,080
Speaker 1: I lost the year because my clock started. I was

782
00:34:59,120 --> 00:35:01,160
Speaker 1: just a regular student, so my clock started, so I

783
00:35:01,280 --> 00:35:04,640
Speaker 1: only really got four years of football at that level.

784
00:35:04,719 --> 00:35:07,000
Speaker 1: So my first year year I was a tackling dummy.

785
00:35:07,280 --> 00:35:09,160
Speaker 1: Second year I made the practice squad, and then third

786
00:35:09,239 --> 00:35:11,799
Speaker 1: year and fourth year I started, and then Texans drafting.

787
00:35:11,840 --> 00:35:16,560
Speaker 2: And then Charlie casually discovered, Hey like this guy?

788
00:35:17,239 --> 00:35:19,040
Speaker 1: He did. Yeah, but you know who really liked me,

789
00:35:19,560 --> 00:35:20,200
Speaker 1: Coach Palmer.

790
00:35:20,719 --> 00:35:22,480
Speaker 2: Oh, Chris Palmer liked so Coach.

791
00:35:22,360 --> 00:35:26,120
Speaker 1: Palmer came out and watched me practice, and then he

792
00:35:26,280 --> 00:35:29,560
Speaker 1: took me after practice. He took me in and we

793
00:35:29,640 --> 00:35:37,760
Speaker 1: went over plays and after Pro day yeah yeah, probably

794
00:35:37,960 --> 00:35:40,520
Speaker 1: whenever it was something like that, but he took me

795
00:35:40,600 --> 00:35:43,480
Speaker 1: upstairs and he would draw the play up. And he

796
00:35:43,480 --> 00:35:45,960
Speaker 1: would draw it up, you know, strength right, tight end,

797
00:35:46,480 --> 00:35:49,279
Speaker 1: you know, three receiver set. Then he would flip it,

798
00:35:49,880 --> 00:35:52,440
Speaker 1: pull a receiver, put a tight end and tell me

799
00:35:52,520 --> 00:35:54,719
Speaker 1: to and and and have and and I have to draw.

800
00:35:54,760 --> 00:35:56,400
Speaker 1: And this was back when you know, they do a

801
00:35:56,480 --> 00:35:58,680
Speaker 1: lot of the front side, crashing down tackle pull around

802
00:35:58,760 --> 00:36:03,520
Speaker 1: type plays. So I didn't we had never done anything

803
00:36:03,560 --> 00:36:06,200
Speaker 1: like that. Right, everything was zone. But what I did

804
00:36:06,360 --> 00:36:09,759
Speaker 1: remember was if I could remember who the who was

805
00:36:09,840 --> 00:36:13,320
Speaker 1: responsible for the MIC, I could figure out who everybody

806
00:36:13,360 --> 00:36:15,120
Speaker 1: else because it was pretty much after that. But I

807
00:36:15,200 --> 00:36:16,800
Speaker 1: just had to know who had the MIC. And he

808
00:36:16,840 --> 00:36:19,520
Speaker 1: would tell me this person blocked some mic. So he

809
00:36:19,520 --> 00:36:22,560
Speaker 1: would give me the one person no different with the center,

810
00:36:22,800 --> 00:36:24,800
Speaker 1: and I'll figure it out. And he was like, okay,

811
00:36:24,840 --> 00:36:28,400
Speaker 1: we're good, and he said good job. And next thing

812
00:36:28,480 --> 00:36:30,200
Speaker 1: I know, I cause you. And here's the other thing too.

813
00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:35,360
Speaker 1: Going into it, I was a project. I was a

814
00:36:35,520 --> 00:36:40,400
Speaker 1: sixth or seventh rounder. And then after I went and

815
00:36:40,560 --> 00:36:43,640
Speaker 1: did the Senior Bowl, and then after I did the Combine,

816
00:36:44,440 --> 00:36:47,920
Speaker 1: it went from six or seven round and to oh,

817
00:36:48,000 --> 00:36:50,400
Speaker 1: this kid's gonna be a player because they got to

818
00:36:50,440 --> 00:36:54,719
Speaker 1: see me move. Next to Brian mount McKinney. They got me,

819
00:36:54,840 --> 00:36:56,279
Speaker 1: They got to see me move. What was the guy

820
00:36:56,360 --> 00:36:58,440
Speaker 1: that played in Auburn, really good player, he ended up

821
00:36:58,440 --> 00:37:00,920
Speaker 1: playing guard. He was a tackle in Auburn and then

822
00:37:00,960 --> 00:37:03,040
Speaker 1: he went to the Pittsburgh Steelers. He was a really

823
00:37:03,080 --> 00:37:08,800
Speaker 1: good player. The receiver in Seattle, he's built like a

824
00:37:09,360 --> 00:37:11,160
Speaker 1: mountain man. Dean right now, the current guy.

825
00:37:11,120 --> 00:37:14,040
Speaker 5: DK Metcalf, his dad, Oh yeah, yeah Metcalf.

826
00:37:14,880 --> 00:37:16,839
Speaker 1: Yes, he was my sainting. So they got to see

827
00:37:16,920 --> 00:37:20,680
Speaker 1: me move next to all of your guys that you know,

828
00:37:20,760 --> 00:37:23,520
Speaker 1: your Florida guys in Miami guys, and he was like, yo,

829
00:37:24,800 --> 00:37:28,759
Speaker 1: better balance, he's smoother and wow. So that's when I

830
00:37:28,880 --> 00:37:30,759
Speaker 1: went from a six round pick to all the way

831
00:37:30,840 --> 00:37:31,520

853
00:38:34,360 --> 00:38:35,799
Speaker 2: I'm kidding. That was a joke.

854
00:38:36,320 --> 00:38:39,920
Speaker 1: That was v Stadium.

855
00:38:39,960 --> 00:38:44,000

856
00:38:44,160 --> 00:38:44,760
Speaker 2: get me careful.

857
00:38:44,800 --> 00:38:49,280
Speaker 4: Have you seen a documentary about the Pepsi ran a commercial.

858
00:38:49,400 --> 00:38:50,960
Speaker 4: This is way back in the nineties. Pepsi ran a

859
00:38:51,000 --> 00:38:53,600
Speaker 4: commercial and they showed a jet and they said, if

860
00:38:53,640 --> 00:38:57,160
Speaker 4: you earned seven thousand or no, seven million Pepsi points,

861
00:38:57,440 --> 00:38:59,920
Speaker 4: you get the jet. The thought is okay, they're joking.

862
00:39:00,200 --> 00:39:02,080
Speaker 4: Some kid went out and got seven million and then

863
00:39:02,160 --> 00:39:02,680
Speaker 4: sued them.

864
00:39:02,600 --> 00:39:03,279
Speaker 5: To get him a jet.

865
00:39:03,960 --> 00:39:05,320
Speaker 2: Well, gotta be careful.

866
00:39:06,200 --> 00:39:08,000
Speaker 5: You got to be careful. They didn't settle. They went

867
00:39:08,000 --> 00:39:08,840
Speaker 5: to court for years.

868
00:39:09,600 --> 00:39:10,000
Speaker 1: Years.

869
00:39:10,760 --> 00:39:12,080
Speaker 5: He was just trying to get this jet.

870
00:39:12,239 --> 00:39:14,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, but he would he wouldn't take a check instead

871
00:39:14,640 --> 00:39:16,120
Speaker 1: of the Jets, and they just make it go away.

872
00:39:16,200 --> 00:39:17,719
Speaker 5: He turned it down.

873
00:39:18,080 --> 00:39:20,200
Speaker 1: Well they should have bought he turned in a raggedy

874
00:39:20,480 --> 00:39:25,000
Speaker 1: decommissioned jet and given himmission.

875
00:39:23,840 --> 00:39:27,759
Speaker 2: Gets So they're always contest rules, right, and that's what

876
00:39:28,000 --> 00:39:29,840
Speaker 2: that's what it led to. So I promised this Chester

877
00:39:30,120 --> 00:39:33,560
Speaker 2: two thousand and six coaching change, right. I want to

878
00:39:33,600 --> 00:39:36,200
Speaker 2: get into that in a moment. But Demiko rans gets

879
00:39:36,280 --> 00:39:40,080
Speaker 2: drafted second round, Mario Williams first round, great draft class,

880
00:39:40,160 --> 00:39:41,839
Speaker 2: best draft class, probably.

881
00:39:41,640 --> 00:39:44,480
Speaker 1: Probably the best draft class in the Texans.

882
00:39:44,640 --> 00:39:47,279
Speaker 2: So your first impressions of Tamiko, there's been a lot

883
00:39:47,360 --> 00:39:50,000
Speaker 2: of talk about him as a rookie, everybody calling him

884
00:39:50,040 --> 00:39:52,439
Speaker 2: cap What were you thinking playing on the other side

885
00:39:52,440 --> 00:39:52,799
Speaker 2: of the ball.

886
00:39:54,719 --> 00:39:58,239
Speaker 1: It was it was very very much earned. So when

887
00:39:58,880 --> 00:40:01,640
Speaker 1: when after the draft came in and we uh we

888
00:40:01,760 --> 00:40:03,320
Speaker 1: got an O t A's because that was really the

889
00:40:03,360 --> 00:40:05,040
Speaker 1: first time that I could, you know, kind of see

890
00:40:05,120 --> 00:40:07,880
Speaker 1: him in action, see what he could do. I remember

891
00:40:08,000 --> 00:40:10,760
Speaker 1: after the first day at practice in O t As,

892
00:40:11,600 --> 00:40:13,320
Speaker 1: Kylie came up to kyllieue Woe came up to me

893
00:40:13,400 --> 00:40:17,040
Speaker 1: and was like, justin, this kid's gonna be really good,

894
00:40:17,480 --> 00:40:19,759
Speaker 1: like he this kid's kid knows the freaking play butook

895
00:40:19,800 --> 00:40:22,160
Speaker 1: better than me, like this, this is this kid's gonna

896
00:40:22,160 --> 00:40:25,520
Speaker 1: be really good. So then second day, third day into

897
00:40:25,680 --> 00:40:29,200
Speaker 1: OTA's and he usual. So people get get an understanding

898
00:40:29,239 --> 00:40:33,160
Speaker 1: when you practice against your own team, they're gonna know

899
00:40:33,280 --> 00:40:35,719
Speaker 1: you better than anybody. They're eventually gonna know all your formations,

900
00:40:35,920 --> 00:40:38,360
Speaker 1: they're gonna know your snap count, they're gonna know your tendencies.

901
00:40:39,040 --> 00:40:41,280
Speaker 1: But it usually takes a couple of weeks to figure

902
00:40:41,320 --> 00:40:45,840
Speaker 1: these things out. Right, four days in the practice, the

903
00:40:46,000 --> 00:40:50,600
Speaker 1: Beagle's calling every play, bass coming this way, pass, going

904
00:40:50,640 --> 00:40:55,040
Speaker 1: over here, every play, to the point where coach was like, yo,

905
00:40:55,280 --> 00:40:59,040
Speaker 1: you arefing a practice. So he had they basically put

906
00:40:59,080 --> 00:41:02,680
Speaker 1: a muzzle on the captain of the d because you

907
00:41:02,680 --> 00:41:04,800
Speaker 1: gotta remember he was he was a second he was

908
00:41:05,120 --> 00:41:07,480
Speaker 1: second stream. Yeah he was. He was first stream after

909
00:41:07,600 --> 00:41:09,799
Speaker 1: like four days, Yeah he was. He was the guy

910
00:41:09,920 --> 00:41:13,200
Speaker 1: that fast and he was out there literally balls coming

911
00:41:13,239 --> 00:41:16,680
Speaker 1: here like every loud. My god, it is ridiculous. So

912
00:41:16,840 --> 00:41:20,000
Speaker 1: it a it showed that we needed to change bar

913
00:41:20,080 --> 00:41:22,440
Speaker 1: offense and they have a little a little bit less

914
00:41:23,520 --> 00:41:26,760
Speaker 1: predictability but it but in real life, it just showed

915
00:41:26,840 --> 00:41:31,120
Speaker 1: you how cerebral this guy was first of all, and

916
00:41:31,200 --> 00:41:33,200
Speaker 1: he he could run. He was a playmaker and he

917
00:41:33,360 --> 00:41:35,279
Speaker 1: was he would get his guys going like it was.

918
00:41:35,880 --> 00:41:38,680
Speaker 1: It was energy, it was presence. It meant a lot

919
00:41:38,760 --> 00:41:41,560
Speaker 1: to him. So then that so that's him as a rookie.

920
00:41:41,600 --> 00:41:43,520
Speaker 1: Then he goes on to have, you know, just an

921
00:41:43,520 --> 00:41:47,080
Speaker 1: absolutely fantastic career. You take away him getting hurt in

922
00:41:47,160 --> 00:41:50,040
Speaker 1: Terry's achilles, he makes five Pro Bowls and you know

923
00:41:50,120 --> 00:41:54,880
Speaker 1: he's he's got twice. Yeah, he's not just a football

924
00:41:54,960 --> 00:41:57,600
Speaker 1: player and not just a good football player, but he's

925
00:41:58,160 --> 00:42:01,239
Speaker 1: you know, easily on the mount more of the Texans

926
00:42:01,480 --> 00:42:04,080
Speaker 1: like easily doesn't get traded, doesn't go to Philly, none

927
00:42:04,120 --> 00:42:06,120
Speaker 1: of those things. He all stays here because you know,

928
00:42:06,280 --> 00:42:11,399
Speaker 1: because of those injuries. So then you know, retires after

929
00:42:11,440 --> 00:42:13,640
Speaker 1: playing what do you play twelve years, eleven years?

930
00:42:14,040 --> 00:42:16,279
Speaker 2: Some crazy I don't think it's that man well, I

931
00:42:16,360 --> 00:42:16,960
Speaker 2: get to look it up.

932
00:42:19,040 --> 00:42:22,319
Speaker 1: I'm going with eleven gets done, you know, at the end.

933
00:42:22,360 --> 00:42:24,640
Speaker 1: But you gotta remember he was he was like the

934
00:42:24,880 --> 00:42:29,360
Speaker 1: real first of players that they kept on a roster

935
00:42:29,480 --> 00:42:31,479
Speaker 1: at the end of your career because they were such

936
00:42:31,600 --> 00:42:35,360
Speaker 1: good coaches for the guys in the locker room. And

937
00:42:35,480 --> 00:42:37,640
Speaker 1: that's what he was, you know, towards the end, because

938
00:42:37,640 --> 00:42:41,759
Speaker 1: he was just so good teaching, you know, teaching other

939
00:42:41,880 --> 00:42:44,480
Speaker 1: players just as well as a coacher, being as you know,

940
00:42:44,520 --> 00:42:46,560
Speaker 1: another coach in the locker room, and he was. He

941
00:42:46,640 --> 00:42:48,520
Speaker 1: wasn't that expensive. And guess what, he can go out

942
00:42:48,520 --> 00:42:50,200
Speaker 1: there and still play if you need him to. He

943
00:42:50,320 --> 00:42:52,640
Speaker 1: gets done, he gets into coaching, and then you just

944
00:42:52,719 --> 00:42:58,560
Speaker 1: watch him year after year after year literally ascend full

945
00:42:58,640 --> 00:43:02,640
Speaker 1: positions like he didn't you know, he didn't go for him,

946
00:43:03,040 --> 00:43:05,800
Speaker 1: you know, being the guys with the playbooks and do

947
00:43:05,920 --> 00:43:09,480
Speaker 1: that for three years before he's now a GA before

948
00:43:09,600 --> 00:43:13,400
Speaker 1: the no, every year he went from the lowest coach

949
00:43:13,680 --> 00:43:15,840
Speaker 1: to the defensive coordinator.

950
00:43:15,400 --> 00:43:19,080
Speaker 2: In what six years, Yeah, because he played ten so

951
00:43:19,360 --> 00:43:22,080
Speaker 2: fift since his last year. There you go, and he

952
00:43:22,200 --> 00:43:25,920
Speaker 2: shoots up those coaching depth charts very quickly. With the

953
00:43:25,960 --> 00:43:30,239
Speaker 2: San Francisco forty nine ers. Uh, the offense in six,

954
00:43:30,360 --> 00:43:32,960
Speaker 2: Gary Kubiak takes over. This is a different offense, but

955
00:43:33,040 --> 00:43:36,720
Speaker 2: it's from that tree. So you tell me after playing

956
00:43:36,840 --> 00:43:40,359
Speaker 2: in the Chris Palmer Joe Pendry thing at five whatever

957
00:43:40,440 --> 00:43:43,279
Speaker 2: that was, whatever that became, I know, let's not relive Joe.

958
00:43:43,239 --> 00:43:45,399
Speaker 5: Henry, but tragic to say the least.

959
00:43:45,440 --> 00:43:48,640
Speaker 2: Okay, So Gary Kubiak comes in, How difficult or what

960
00:43:48,800 --> 00:43:51,000
Speaker 2: was the adjustment like as an offensive lineman, as an

961
00:43:51,040 --> 00:43:54,920
Speaker 2: offense in general to the Kubiakian system that comes in,

962
00:43:55,000 --> 00:43:57,080
Speaker 2: Because I'm trying to get a little taste trying to

963
00:43:57,200 --> 00:44:00,680
Speaker 2: translate how it might be for these guys right now

964
00:44:00,800 --> 00:44:03,560
Speaker 2: coming off what they were playing under Pep Hamilton last year.

965
00:44:04,000 --> 00:44:12,200
Speaker 1: So the biggest difference was the tiny things, not the

966
00:44:12,280 --> 00:44:17,800
Speaker 1: big things. So hand speed, hat placement, you know, the

967
00:44:18,200 --> 00:44:22,160
Speaker 1: minute details of the zone system is what makes it go.

968
00:44:22,719 --> 00:44:27,279
Speaker 1: It's designed to be three to five yards every time

969
00:44:27,360 --> 00:44:30,399
Speaker 1: you run the ball and not have negative plays where

970
00:44:30,440 --> 00:44:34,000
Speaker 1: when you run counter, it's gonna be a home run

971
00:44:34,680 --> 00:44:36,520
Speaker 1: or it's gonna be a cloud or dust. And that

972
00:44:36,960 --> 00:44:40,480
Speaker 1: encounter system is backblocks pulling all of that nature. So

973
00:44:40,840 --> 00:44:44,000
Speaker 1: it's a system designed to always keep you on, keep

974
00:44:44,040 --> 00:44:46,560
Speaker 1: you on schedule. So if you run the ball and

975
00:44:47,040 --> 00:44:49,120
Speaker 1: three downs and you get three to four yards and

976
00:44:49,200 --> 00:44:51,400
Speaker 1: you run the ball three times, guess what got it?

977
00:44:51,440 --> 00:44:53,239
Speaker 1: First down? Go do it again, Go do it again.

978
00:44:53,239 --> 00:44:55,840
Speaker 1: It's a very consistent system. But in order to have

979
00:44:56,000 --> 00:44:59,400
Speaker 1: that level of consistency, you have to be perfect in

980
00:44:59,560 --> 00:45:04,160
Speaker 1: your your technique. And that was what was just so

981
00:45:04,400 --> 00:45:08,680
Speaker 1: different than before, because before it was take your helmet

982
00:45:08,880 --> 00:45:10,799
Speaker 1: and put it on his helmet and whoop his butt,

983
00:45:11,200 --> 00:45:13,120
Speaker 1: and as long as you win your battle, we're gonna

984
00:45:13,120 --> 00:45:16,279
Speaker 1: get yards. But this system is just much more not

985
00:45:16,400 --> 00:45:19,680
Speaker 1: about brute force and not about smashing your head like

986
00:45:19,719 --> 00:45:22,120
Speaker 1: a battering ram as much as it is to get

987
00:45:22,160 --> 00:45:24,080
Speaker 1: the defense to run left and get the defense to

988
00:45:24,160 --> 00:45:26,399
Speaker 1: run right, because if you get the defense running left

989
00:45:26,440 --> 00:45:28,719
Speaker 1: and right and they're not penetrating up the field, you

990
00:45:28,880 --> 00:45:31,600
Speaker 1: got a chance for the running back to always fall

991
00:45:31,800 --> 00:45:34,920
Speaker 1: forward by accident, he's gonna get you three or four yards.

992
00:45:35,160 --> 00:45:37,040
Speaker 1: And if you can sign the paper right now and say,

993
00:45:37,120 --> 00:45:40,839
Speaker 1: on first down, we're gonna get every series. We're gonna

994
00:45:40,880 --> 00:45:43,600
Speaker 1: start at second and six. There's literally no team, and

995
00:45:43,840 --> 00:45:46,359
Speaker 1: there's no team that would say no, I don't want

996
00:45:46,440 --> 00:45:49,160
Speaker 1: that deal. So that's what this system is designed to

997
00:45:49,239 --> 00:45:51,080
Speaker 1: be like. But in order to do that, it was

998
00:45:51,239 --> 00:45:55,200
Speaker 1: just drill after drill after drill after drill. And it's

999
00:45:55,239 --> 00:45:58,800
Speaker 1: because you're not as much blocking a human as you

1000
00:45:58,920 --> 00:46:02,680
Speaker 1: are blocking a zone or a spot or an area.

1001
00:46:02,800 --> 00:46:05,759
Speaker 1: And if anybody gets onto that, you're on your track.

1002
00:46:05,800 --> 00:46:08,439
Speaker 1: If someone gets on your track, guess what, you gotta

1003
00:46:08,480 --> 00:46:10,360
Speaker 1: move them and keep rolling. But if nobody's there, you

1004
00:46:10,400 --> 00:46:12,160
Speaker 1: got to go to the next level and be able

1005
00:46:12,200 --> 00:46:15,040
Speaker 1: to do that repeatedly every time on clockwork. That's what

1006
00:46:15,160 --> 00:46:16,320
Speaker 1: the difference is in that system.

1007
00:46:16,400 --> 00:46:18,360
Speaker 2: Guess well, we're at a show. I can't believe it.

1008
00:46:18,480 --> 00:46:23,000
Speaker 2: We're at a show. I mean, we'll hang out here BMW. Yeah, yeah,

1009
00:46:23,000 --> 00:46:27,120
Speaker 2: we're gonna still light outside in summer. It's fine. This

1010
00:46:27,239 --> 00:46:29,840
Speaker 2: show is gonna be up on podcasts soon enough. And

1011
00:46:30,239 --> 00:46:32,280
Speaker 2: we really want to thank everybody worked on the program,

1012
00:46:32,400 --> 00:46:36,600
Speaker 2: our Texans cheerleaders who were here. We didn't have any

1013
00:46:36,640 --> 00:46:40,320
Speaker 2: correct answers. They all got it right corect anybody, So

1014
00:46:40,960 --> 00:46:42,279
Speaker 2: all right, so judge.

1015
00:46:42,160 --> 00:46:44,120
Speaker 5: Now offer a car and you'll see if you get the.

1016

Speaker 2: because you guys, you're gonna looked it up, all right,

1021
00:46:56,800 --> 00:46:58,279
Speaker 2: and I think they misunderstood the question.

1022
00:46:58,480 --> 00:46:59,040
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give it.

1023
00:46:59,040 --> 00:47:02,480
Speaker 2: I'm gonna give this answer away. His second start was

1024
00:47:02,719 --> 00:47:05,279
Speaker 2: San Diego on the road. We're not gonna get into

1025
00:47:05,320 --> 00:47:06,080
Speaker 2: what happened in that game.

1026
00:47:08,080 --> 00:47:13,200
Speaker 1: Restless soldier, and you say, ol gave us the absolute business.

1027
00:47:13,239 --> 00:47:15,680
Speaker 1: That was tough. We can do nothing. When he was

1028
00:47:15,800 --> 00:47:17,200
Speaker 1: over here, then he was over there and he was

1029
00:47:17,280 --> 00:47:19,360
Speaker 1: jumping over this person, and he was rolling around here

1030
00:47:19,360 --> 00:47:20,960
Speaker 1: and he was screaming, the play is gonna be right here.

1031
00:47:21,200 --> 00:47:24,920
Speaker 1: He was the best player that ever seen played defensively.

1032
00:47:25,040 --> 00:47:28,680
Speaker 1: It was unbelievable how good he was. Unbelievable.

1033
00:47:28,800 --> 00:47:31,600
Speaker 2: Chester, thanks so much for being with us. All right,
