00:00:04,200 --> 00:00:05,160

Speaker 1: And if you want it, you gotta go work it now.

Speaker 2: It's Texans all xys, Hello Texans, and welcome. We're inside

14
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:39,680

Speaker 5: It was not the McNair's were Nick Serio was Greg

Speaker 5: grifsom was? They all had their wives had the McNair

Speaker 5: decked out in reds. Looked great and has deserved twin

Speaker 5: up because you you may see him dressed over here,

26
00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:21,760
Speaker 5: I don't, and I never see any of them dressed,

Speaker 5: Ciria was gonna wear a blue vest? No he did not,

29

32
00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:40,600
Speaker 5: it's packed out there with media people. It was a

33
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:42,680
Speaker 5: lot of fun. And by the way, speaking a lot

34
00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:45,200
Speaker 5: of fun, I had a blast with you Mark today

35
00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:48,440
Speaker 5: at the Houston Club. We talked to lunch in there,

36
00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:51,320
Speaker 5: to their members. It was so much fun.

37
00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:53,720
Speaker 2: So much fun. Go ahead, Johnny, I'm.

38
00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:57,040
Speaker 4: Having fomo over here, Like I mean, I feel like

39
00:01:57,120 --> 00:01:59,640
Speaker 4: I didn't get invited to the Houstonian, Like what is

40
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:01,560
Speaker 4: going on on over here? By the way, General, I

41
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:03,800
Speaker 4: guarantee those people want to talk to you too. You

42
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:06,920
Speaker 4: are a Houston legend, there's no question. So I want

43
00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:09,760
Speaker 4: to start with that General real fast. Let's talk about

44
00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:10,840
Speaker 4: this and get it out.

45
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:11,040
Speaker 1: Of the way.

46
00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:15,000
Speaker 4: University of Houston's uniforms are wearing on Saturday.

47
00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:17,160
Speaker 1: When you saw it, what'd you think?

48
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:19,320
Speaker 5: I just saw it in the Chronicle today and I

49
00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:21,799
Speaker 5: thought it was great. Is because I love those uniforms.

50
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:24,239
Speaker 5: I think it's really good at Dana Holguson and the

51
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:26,840
Speaker 5: Cougars are gonna do it, just like I think it's

52
00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:30,079
Speaker 5: great when the Texans do it when the Tides do

53
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:33,040
Speaker 5: it against the Texans a week before Christmas. Because I

54
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:36,160
Speaker 5: love those, love your blue uniforms and can never see

55
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:39,480
Speaker 5: them any other ways, so I think it's very very cool.

56
00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:42,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, good, good review. I saw that hype

57
00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:47,680
Speaker 2: video and it was amazing. They are really wearing basically

58
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:51,600
Speaker 2: Oilers uniforms, and I thought, maybe leave the UH logo

59
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:53,400
Speaker 2: up there on the helmet, but they didn't do that.

60
00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:56,480
Speaker 2: They have Houston going across it in sort of like

61
00:02:56,560 --> 00:03:00,480
Speaker 2: this Maryland Terps font if you will, the way they

62
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:02,040
Speaker 2: used to write Terps on the helmet. I don't know

63
00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:05,000
Speaker 2: if they still do that. But before we get into that,

64
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:06,800
Speaker 2: I need to know something really important from the general

65
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:09,080
Speaker 2: because I've been in studio here for an hour just

66
00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:12,960
Speaker 2: setting things up. So are the McNair's. Is everybody wearing

67
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:17,120
Speaker 2: sneakers because it's sneaker glam tonight. That is the fashion

68
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:19,120
Speaker 2: requirement or suggestion.

69
00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:23,560
Speaker 5: Truthfully, when the people were coming down the carpet, the

70
00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:25,640
Speaker 5: last thing I was looking at was their feet.

71
00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:28,520
Speaker 2: Okay, but you would notice a woman wearing a beautiful

72
00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:29,880
Speaker 2: dress and sneaker.

73
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:33,240
Speaker 5: No, I was not noticing the sneakers, but you told

74
00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:35,680
Speaker 5: me about it, and I wore mine. But I don't

75
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:38,480
Speaker 5: know if anybody else did. All I know there's a

76
00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:41,240
Speaker 5: buzz out there for this event. A lot of it

77
00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:43,160
Speaker 5: has to do with Demiko, A lot of it has

78
00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:46,760
Speaker 5: to do with CJ's troud, Will Anderson Junior, and I

79
00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:51,240
Speaker 5: know Hen and Cal McNair. After all the controversy, they've

80
00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:53,880
Speaker 5: endured to be able to focus on football for the

81
00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:56,800
Speaker 5: first time in a while. Nobody has got to be

82
00:03:57,360 --> 00:04:00,840
Speaker 5: more excited than they are. And they told us today

83
00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:04,400
Speaker 5: they got fewer and five hundred tickets left the Indianapolis opener,

84
00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:06,800
Speaker 5: and I think that's great. So they're gonna have to

85
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:10,160
Speaker 5: sell out crowd for the home debut and get see

86
00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:11,520
Speaker 5: Anthony Richardson as well.

87
00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:13,880
Speaker 2: That means the first two games are sellouts, because the

88
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:16,040
Speaker 2: WA game is definitely gonna sell out. So you'll sell

89
00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:19,560
Speaker 2: out games one and two at home, and we're back up,

90
00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:21,640
Speaker 2: as they say in the wire, but in a very

91
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:22,760
Speaker 2: different context.

92
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:26,280
Speaker 4: Johnny, Yeah, absolutely, all right, General, let's just rip the

93
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:28,440
Speaker 4: band aid off cuts for this week. We haven't had

94
00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:30,279
Speaker 4: a chance to talk to you about it. There's been

95
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:32,560
Speaker 4: a lot of machinations. There's been a lot of talk

96
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:36,680
Speaker 4: about Kenyon Green. Give us your general gut reaction to

97
00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:38,440
Speaker 4: everything that's happened this week.

98
00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:41,760
Speaker 5: First of all, as we know, the offensive lines in

99
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:44,360
Speaker 5: big trouble, three starters out. They're bringing them in off

100
00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:47,680
Speaker 5: the streets, they're bringing them in off waivers. They're resigning

101
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:51,000
Speaker 5: the practice squad, so we don't know what left guard, center,

102
00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:54,520
Speaker 5: and right tackle will look like. It would be great

103
00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:58,320
Speaker 5: if Titus Hour could come back. But Nick Assario in

104
00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:01,760
Speaker 5: his thirty minute interview with the and I always appreciate

105
00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:05,479
Speaker 5: when Casserio comes to talk because he is he doesn't

106
00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:09,159
Speaker 5: cut it off, and he didn't sound real optimistic about

107
00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:11,920
Speaker 5: Titus returning for the first game. Then there was talk

108
00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:14,520
Speaker 5: when he comes back, should he play left guard. He's

109
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:16,920
Speaker 5: got more left guard experience than anybody on the team

110
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:20,640
Speaker 5: than you keep George Fan at right tackle. But hopefully

111
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:22,919
Speaker 5: if you're a Texan fan, you'll get to see the

112
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:27,680
Speaker 5: starting line. Let's see for at least thirteen games, because

113
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:29,800
Speaker 5: how many you got to be on ours at four?

114
00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:33,320
Speaker 5: I know if pupp is for and hopefully you'll see

115
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:36,279
Speaker 5: Juice Scrugs come back there. But man to have everything

116
00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:38,880
Speaker 5: hit at once. And I'll say this about Kenyon Green,

117
00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:43,239
Speaker 5: besides having shoulder surgery this week and have knee surgery

118
00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:47,479
Speaker 5: and offseason, and you can't help being hurt, and they

119
00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:51,039
Speaker 5: have said there are other things he's dealing with, so

120
00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:54,080
Speaker 5: he is going to to whatever he's dealing with besides

121
00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:56,520
Speaker 5: the injury, He's going to have a whole season to

122
00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:59,159
Speaker 5: get ready and come back next year. And hopefully Kenyon

123
00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:03,080
Speaker 5: is a really good everybody likes him, great family, just

124
00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:05,719
Speaker 5: a really good guy who showed enough talent at A

125
00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:08,720
Speaker 5: and M to be a fifteenth overall pick. This will

126
00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:11,400
Speaker 5: kind of be like a red shirt year, and hopefully

127
00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:14,239
Speaker 5: he'll come back and play the way that Nicko Sario

128
00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:17,200
Speaker 5: thought he would whin he drafted him.

129
00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:20,160
Speaker 2: All right, let me ask you this general and Johnny two,

130
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:24,520
Speaker 2: who's the likeliest center on opening day? Juice Scruggs on

131
00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:27,040
Speaker 2: IR so we have here are your choices, and correct

132
00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:29,560
Speaker 2: me if there's something I'm not thinking about here, because

133
00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:32,280
Speaker 2: I don't think Kendrick Green figures into this, although he's

134
00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:36,160
Speaker 2: capable of playing center. But Michael Dieter, who's on practice squad,

135
00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:39,560
Speaker 2: you can lift him up. Jimmy Morrisey is on practice squad,

136
00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:41,760
Speaker 2: you can lift him up. Or Jared Patterson is on

137
00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:44,520
Speaker 2: the fifty three, you can just play him. He knows

138
00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:46,719
Speaker 2: how to play some center, but has he played enough

139
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:49,000
Speaker 2: to experience Baltimore on opening day?

140
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:51,960
Speaker 5: Patterson? Has he spent most of his time at guard?

141
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:54,839
Speaker 5: Give me Jimmy morris he started some games, you know,

142
00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:57,400
Speaker 5: he's dad snaps in camp and practice with c. J.

143
00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:03,720
Speaker 5: Stroud S, a rookie quarterback who needs his offensive line desperately.

144
00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:06,680
Speaker 5: A running game that needed their offensive line desperately, and

145
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:10,680
Speaker 5: they got three starters out, and so I'm guessing Morrissey

146
00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:13,760
Speaker 5: would be the safe decision to put his center.

147
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:17,000
Speaker 4: You know, the other night against the Saints, when Juice

148
00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:21,800
Speaker 4: got banged up, they went to Jared Patterson. And Patterson

149
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:24,680
Speaker 4: played his first three years at Notre Dame, maybe four

150
00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:26,240
Speaker 4: years because of the COVID year, he might have got

151
00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:28,880
Speaker 4: an extra year, but whatever, he played eighty percent of

152
00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:31,680
Speaker 4: his career at center, and then it was his final

153
00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:34,000
Speaker 4: year where he moved to guard. I think he's a

154
00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:38,000
Speaker 4: better center than he is a guard. So I I

155
00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:40,960
Speaker 4: mean again, you're gonna go to Baltimore if Juices was

156
00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:44,880
Speaker 4: healthy with a rookie center and a rookie quarterback, So

157
00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:45,840
Speaker 4: why change it now?

158
00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:47,080
Speaker 1: Jared's a pretty smart dude.

159
00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:50,600
Speaker 4: He held his own the other day against the Saints.

160
00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:56,200
Speaker 4: The issue to me is, if you have Patterson at center,

161
00:07:57,000 --> 00:07:59,600
Speaker 4: who do you have at guard? And if you have

162
00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:03,160
Speaker 4: somebody that's in the kind of new group, whether it's

163
00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:06,720
Speaker 4: Kendrick Green or whether it's even Josh Jones, then boy,

164
00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:09,120
Speaker 4: there's a lot of communication that now Jared Patterson or

165
00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:11,240
Speaker 4: rookie has got to have with the new guy.

166
00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:13,880
Speaker 1: So that's gonna be that's gonna be tough.

167
00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:17,280
Speaker 4: So I think it's to me, it's the combination that

168
00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:22,200
Speaker 4: gets kind of sticky in all honesty with the Texans

169
00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:23,280
Speaker 4: at that particular position.

170
00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:24,360
Speaker 3: That's a great point.

171
00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:27,240
Speaker 5: But the way I'm looking at it, if you have,

172
00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:30,720
Speaker 5: say Dieter, Dieter got more time at left guard than

173
00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:33,160
Speaker 5: anybody got a lot of time at left tackle too,

174
00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:35,760
Speaker 5: but maybe you put him a guard if Patterson is

175
00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:38,439
Speaker 5: the center. But if you have Morseyincenta, you put Patterson

176
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:42,160
Speaker 5: at guard, and Fan of course would be the right tackle.

177
00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:43,200
Speaker 3: It's gonna be hard.

178
00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:45,600
Speaker 5: You know, these two guys that came into this week,

179
00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:48,520
Speaker 5: I can't imagine they're even gonna be active now. Josh

180
00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:51,880
Speaker 5: Jones has played right guard, right tackle, left tackle, and

181
00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:55,560
Speaker 5: they say he's clearly a better right tackle. Now eventually

182
00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:58,439
Speaker 5: does does he get a chance to beat out George

183
00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:01,760
Speaker 5: f before Titus comes back and Dives come back and

184
00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:04,640
Speaker 5: missed one game, two games, no games, so he got

185
00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:07,120
Speaker 5: a lot of options. And the guy I wrote about

186
00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:10,360
Speaker 5: mccollins and Sports Radio six ten dot com, Chris Dosser,

187
00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:13,319
Speaker 5: he's the new line coach, fourth and four years.

188
00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:15,800
Speaker 3: When he came here and they had the draft.

189
00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:18,920
Speaker 5: He goes, wow, I got Jus Scruggs and I got

190
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:19,680
Speaker 5: Jared Patterson.

191
00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:22,679
Speaker 3: We traded for Shack Mason. Everything's gonna be great.

192
00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:26,040
Speaker 2: Well, look, you have Laramie and Shack out there. For sure,

193
00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:29,719
Speaker 2: that's great stuff to start with. But as Johnny said

194
00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:32,280
Speaker 2: last night, forty percent, because I do the math, there

195
00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:35,480
Speaker 2: are five guys. Yeah, that checks out, So let me

196
00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:37,599
Speaker 2: ask you this, Let's go to the defensive side of

197
00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:39,400
Speaker 2: the ball, because I ask Johnny about this later on

198
00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:43,080
Speaker 2: in the show. General defensively, can they hang with the

199
00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:45,599
Speaker 2: Ravens on that side. Let's just put the offense to

200
00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:48,720
Speaker 2: the side for a moment. Can they at least slow

201
00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:51,840
Speaker 2: down that Lamar Jackson attack and all the weapons he

202
00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:54,720
Speaker 2: has obij and Mark Andrews. I guess he's getting healthier.

203
00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:56,960
Speaker 2: I don't know. I'll check it out. But they've got

204
00:09:56,960 --> 00:09:59,280
Speaker 2: a lot to deal with on the offensive side of

205
00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:03,520
Speaker 2: the ball. This Texans defense hang with them.

206
00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:05,360
Speaker 3: It depends on things. Stop the run.

207
00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:07,520
Speaker 5: And I'm not talking about Lamar Jackson. I'm talking about

208
00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:10,240
Speaker 5: their running backs. When the Texans were good and played

209
00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:13,160
Speaker 5: up there, they got crushed and that's when they were good,

210
00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:16,240
Speaker 5: and that was when Lamar Jackson was playing great. But

211
00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:21,520
Speaker 5: I'm guessing a guy like Christian Harris is gonna have

212
00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:25,120
Speaker 5: to spyle Lamar Jackson because he can run and keep

213
00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:28,240
Speaker 5: up with him and tackle him. But man, that front

214
00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:30,920
Speaker 5: seven has got to be able to stop the run.

215
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:34,760
Speaker 5: And see you what we saw the Texans do against

216
00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:38,800
Speaker 5: New England and New Orleans, not against Miami. And if

217
00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:42,560
Speaker 5: they can stop the run. I would want Lamar Jackson

218
00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:45,560
Speaker 5: to pass. I would want him throwing to the sideline,

219
00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:48,320
Speaker 5: not down the middle of the Mark Andrews, but he's

220
00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:51,760
Speaker 5: loaded with weapons. I'd love to see Derrick Stanley Junior

221
00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:56,520
Speaker 5: covering Hodell Beckham Junior through the whole game. It's not

222
00:10:56,559 --> 00:10:58,920
Speaker 5: gonna happen because he stays on one side, but at

223
00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:02,000
Speaker 5: some point he's gonna be covering him. I'm really excited

224
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:04,480
Speaker 5: to watch Stanley in man coverage.

225
00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:07,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, no question. Uh, Johna.

226
00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:10,000
Speaker 4: You're reading about Mark Andrews and I guess it happened

227
00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:14,319
Speaker 4: in the joint Practices against the Commanders, et cetera. How

228
00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:19,680
Speaker 4: much does that offense lose if Mark Andrews is gone

229
00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:23,800
Speaker 4: given the changes that they've made a receiver, adding Obja,

230
00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:26,160
Speaker 4: adding Za Flowers to Rashat Bateman.

231
00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:27,080
Speaker 1: How much?

232
00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:29,040
Speaker 4: Because in the past, I think you would have said, boy,

233
00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:32,400
Speaker 4: that's I mean, that's that's Lamar's binky, that's who Lamar

234
00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:34,360
Speaker 4: is going to like, that's his favorite was going to

235
00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:38,040
Speaker 4: Mark Andrews. But what if Andrews isn't there, but they've

236
00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:40,920
Speaker 4: got these other guys that wide receiver. How much does

237
00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:43,080
Speaker 4: that sort of change the way we look at this

238
00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:44,079
Speaker 4: one against the Ravens.

239
00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:47,720
Speaker 2: Here's here's the number for you general. Seventy three catches

240
00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:50,600
Speaker 2: last year, five tds for Andrews. That was in fifteen

241
00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:53,559
Speaker 2: games played all seventeen and twenty one, one hundred and

242
00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:57,120
Speaker 2: seven catches, nine touchdowns, thirteen hundred plus yards.

243
00:11:57,440 --> 00:11:57,840
Speaker 3: Ouch.

244
00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:00,920
Speaker 2: That's a lot to deal with. He's obviously a best

245
00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:01,960
Speaker 2: friend of Lamar Jackson.

246
00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:04,679
Speaker 5: Odell Beckham junior has been out a long time, and

247
00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:07,720
Speaker 5: z Flowers is a rookie. Most rookies have a little

248
00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:13,480
Speaker 5: transition period, and like I think the Texan's rookies maybe Tankdell, but.

249
00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:15,679
Speaker 3: I think you.

250
00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:18,520
Speaker 5: Take away your favorite target, it has to affect the offense.

251
00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:20,960
Speaker 5: If he doesn't play, he loves to throw him the

252
00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:25,080
Speaker 5: ball down the middle. You'd have Jimmy Ward waiting Jalen

253
00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:28,679
Speaker 5: Petrie back there. I think Texans secondary can be really

254
00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:31,560
Speaker 5: good if indeed they can get a pass rush. And

255
00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:35,280
Speaker 5: with Will Anderson, Jonathan Gnard playing for a new contract,

256
00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:39,080
Speaker 5: Jerry Hughes playing probably last of his career thirty five

257
00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:42,240
Speaker 5: years old, I think those three guys can generate a rush.

258
00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:44,440
Speaker 5: They need to, you know, set to the edge and

259
00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:47,200
Speaker 5: contain him and not let him get away. But man,

260
00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:50,000
Speaker 5: he's just so hard to bring down. I think he'll

261
00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:51,439
Speaker 5: hurt him more running than passing.

262
00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:56,520
Speaker 2: Oh get are you asked that question? Johnny? All right,

263
00:12:56,559 --> 00:13:01,120
Speaker 2: I'll take one year. Let's do this. I want to

264
00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:05,360
Speaker 2: ask you about Jonathan Taylor and the prospect of trading

265
00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:08,280
Speaker 2: him to Green Bay. That didn't happen. I guess it

266
00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:11,880
Speaker 2: could still happen. But the Dolphins were willing to make

267
00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:14,319
Speaker 2: him a high paid player, maybe among the highest paid

268
00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:17,600
Speaker 2: running backs, and the Packers were as well. So what

269
00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:20,280
Speaker 2: went wrong? They just didn't get the compensation they were

270
00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:22,720
Speaker 2: looking for. The Colts do they think they're gonna patch

271
00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:25,760
Speaker 2: it up with Jonathan Taylor? What's gonna happen with Jonathan Taylor?

272
00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:27,120
Speaker 2: I know we ask you this a lot, but it's

273
00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:28,640
Speaker 2: a very important thing for the division.

274
00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:31,679
Speaker 5: It is. And first of all, how do we know

275
00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:33,319
Speaker 5: that's true? How do we know they're gonna make you

276
00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:36,080
Speaker 5: Miley paid? Do we know the numbers? No, we don't

277
00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:40,480
Speaker 5: know the numbers. People can say anything they want. And Taylor,

278
00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:44,040
Speaker 5: he's injured, He was injured last year. Nobody's gonna give

279
00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:47,000
Speaker 5: up a lot. They were asking too much, you know,

280
00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:49,400
Speaker 5: Jayalen Wilder. They're not gonna give up a big time

281
00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:52,440
Speaker 5: receiver for a running back who's coming off an injury

282
00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:55,600
Speaker 5: plague season and he's hurt right now physically and abuilt

283
00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:59,559
Speaker 5: to perform. He's gonna miss minimum of four games. If

284
00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:01,839
Speaker 5: I'm giving him a contract, I want a lot of

285
00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:05,040
Speaker 5: bonuses in there based on what he achieves, how much

286
00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:08,360
Speaker 5: he plays, and how well the team does. Say okay,

287
00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:10,000
Speaker 5: we'll give you ten and a half million a year

288
00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:12,640
Speaker 5: twelve and if he'll help get to get deal done,

289
00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:15,480
Speaker 5: you can make another three or four million. If you

290
00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:19,560
Speaker 5: stay healthy, you hit these barometers and the team wins

291
00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:20,600
Speaker 5: X number of games.

292
00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:23,560
Speaker 4: All right, General Jim Mersey gets locked in the bathroom

293
00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:27,560
Speaker 4: and doesn't have his cell phone and nobody knows and

294
00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:32,160
Speaker 4: he just vanishes for the next three months. Could Chris

295
00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:35,600
Speaker 4: Ballard get this deal done? Do you think that Jim

296
00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:37,200
Speaker 4: Ersay is the roadblock?

297
00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:40,920
Speaker 5: Everybody says Jim Mercy is the roadblock. He's ticking the

298
00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:43,520
Speaker 5: bull by the horns on this. He's made a mad

299
00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:46,760
Speaker 5: he's made it a controversy, he's made it into a

300
00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:49,320
Speaker 5: bad situation. You get a new head coach, but you

301
00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:53,640
Speaker 5: got a veteran general manager. Drafted Jonathan Taylor. I'm guessing

302
00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:57,880
Speaker 5: Chris Ballard could get this deal done, and that's one

303
00:14:57,920 --> 00:15:01,880
Speaker 5: of the reasons Texans fans. She would appreciate owners like

304
00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:04,600
Speaker 5: the McNair's who stay out of it. They would tell

305
00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:08,240
Speaker 5: if Nick Cassio's and this kind of problem with Damian Pierce,

306
00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:10,640
Speaker 5: they'd say, Nick, you handle it. If you want to

307
00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:12,720
Speaker 5: pay him a lot of money. You think it's important.

308
00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:16,200
Speaker 5: If you want to reset the running back market, do it.

309
00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:18,280
Speaker 5: We don't think you should, but if you want to

310
00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:20,560
Speaker 5: do it, do it. That's why we pay you, instead

311
00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:22,880
Speaker 5: of having an owner telling them what to do and

312
00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:26,960
Speaker 5: interfering and creating a situation that they may never be

313
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:30,080
Speaker 5: able to rectify unless he gets a great contract. And

314
00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:36,920
Speaker 5: you guys know money, Money is the great elixir Alexa yep,

315
00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:39,280
Speaker 5: And it could be there too if he gets what

316
00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:41,680
Speaker 5: he wants, all of a sudden, they'll be kissing.

317
00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:46,000
Speaker 2: And hugging general. The NFL season begins one week from tonight.

318
00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:49,400
Speaker 2: The Kansas City Chiefs will host the Detroit Lions. And

319
00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:51,160
Speaker 2: I'll get into this with Johnny a little bit later

320
00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:53,000
Speaker 2: on in the show as well, But this, to me

321
00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:55,880
Speaker 2: is a real bummer game to open the season. I'll

322
00:15:55,920 --> 00:15:58,480
Speaker 2: be watching. I'll be fired up like I would for

323
00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:01,760
Speaker 2: any national game in falling. I don't know good teams.

324
00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:04,160
Speaker 2: I guess the Detroit Lions are a good team. I'm

325
00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:05,960
Speaker 2: just shocked that they picked this one.

326
00:16:06,160 --> 00:16:06,320
Speaker 3: Here.

327
00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:09,800
Speaker 2: Were there other choices for really quality opponents going into

328
00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:13,040
Speaker 2: Arrowhead this year? The Miami Dolphins, I'd rather see that.

329
00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:15,680
Speaker 2: The Raiders. I don't know if I'd rather see that,

330
00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:19,040
Speaker 2: but I've watched that for sure. The Buffalo Bills are

331
00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:21,640
Speaker 2: going to Arrowhead. That would have been a good one

332
00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:25,080
Speaker 2: to start with. How about this one, the Cincinnati Bengals

333
00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:27,520
Speaker 2: are going to Arrowhead. You could have picked that one

334
00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:29,640
Speaker 2: as well. How about can I interest you in the

335
00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:33,200
Speaker 2: Philadelphia Eagles going to Arrowhead? That would be nice. Why

336
00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:37,000
Speaker 2: not do that one? That's a game, It's a great

337
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:39,880
Speaker 2: home schedule as far as marquee matchups. But they picked

338
00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:42,760
Speaker 2: the Lions because they thought, you know what, it's Opening night.

339
00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:46,760
Speaker 2: Everybody's gonna watch anyway, So let's just throw that one

340
00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:51,440
Speaker 2: out there and save these for later, for other primetime opportunities,

341
00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:54,320
Speaker 2: flex opportunities, whatever the case may be. Maybe the big

342
00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:56,960
Speaker 2: late afternoon game, of course, because they always get it

343
00:16:57,200 --> 00:16:59,480
Speaker 2: there in Central time, but they get that late game

344
00:16:59,480 --> 00:16:59,760
Speaker 2: a lot.

345
00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:02,360
Speaker 3: That's one of the things.

346
00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:04,720
Speaker 5: I don't know if Martha Ford's still alive as she is,

347
00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:07,320
Speaker 5: maybe shee tokudell. We want to be that first game.

348
00:17:07,840 --> 00:17:11,200
Speaker 5: That's that is a situation where they watched Tard Knox

349
00:17:11,320 --> 00:17:15,560
Speaker 5: last year and Dan Campbell was really popular, and then

350
00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:18,560
Speaker 5: they had a great offense and a mediocre defense until

351
00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:20,920
Speaker 5: the second half of the season. A lot of people

352
00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:23,919
Speaker 5: think they're gonna win the division. So if you know

353
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:27,840
Speaker 5: why not, I would much rather have seen one of

354
00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:30,760
Speaker 5: those other games. And I don't know if the Chiefs,

355
00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:34,160
Speaker 5: if you were the defending Super Bowl champion and your

356
00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:37,760
Speaker 5: Clark Hunt and you're Andy Reid, could you say, hey,

357
00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:40,359
Speaker 5: do they ever call I don't know, those called the

358
00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:43,879
Speaker 5: Super Bowl champions say hey, we're considering these who would

359
00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:47,080
Speaker 5: you like to open against? And we'll take any consideration.

360
00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:50,040
Speaker 5: And of all those teams you named, other than the Raiders,

361
00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:53,880
Speaker 5: they would say, we rather open against the.

362
00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:55,400
Speaker 2: Lions, how about the Chargers?

363
00:17:58,040 --> 00:18:01,400
Speaker 5: Truthfully, I like the Lions as I watched him last year.

364
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:04,560
Speaker 5: I think it's a good story if indeed they win,

365
00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:09,000
Speaker 5: and you know, they've won one playoff game, since the fifties.

366
00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:09,920
Speaker 2: It's amazing.

367
00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:10,080
Speaker 3: You know.

368
00:18:10,119 --> 00:18:14,399
Speaker 5: We voted Buddy Parker as they can coach nominee for

369
00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:16,520
Speaker 5: the Hall of Fame and he'll get in, And a

370
00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:17,919
Speaker 5: lot of people were mad about it.

371
00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:20,680
Speaker 3: They don't have a clue Buddy Parker was. He said

372
00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:23,080
Speaker 3: he won two championships with the Lions.

373
00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:28,640
Speaker 5: Case closed. He dominated Paul Brown. Most of them go's

374
00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:31,960
Speaker 5: Paul Brown. Case closed. But that just shows you how

375
00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:37,040
Speaker 5: bad this franchise has been for decades. People here think, wow, boy,

376
00:18:37,119 --> 00:18:39,800
Speaker 5: the Texans are bad. Texans won more playoff games, bel

377
00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:42,480
Speaker 5: O'Brien than the Lions have won since the fifties.

378
00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:45,720
Speaker 2: They better not, They meaning the Hall of Fame committee

379
00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:47,760
Speaker 2: better not ask who's Paul Brown? And I don't think

380
00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:49,560
Speaker 2: they do. I don't think that was your point.

381
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:53,399
Speaker 4: Now, listen, we're we're all missing the boat here. Flavor

382
00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:58,560
Speaker 4: flav is doing scratching and dancing for the Detroit Lions accounts.

383
00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:01,560
Speaker 4: The Lions are going fifteen to two.

384
00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:05,000
Speaker 3: Eminem was at he was at hard Knocks last year.

385
00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:07,719
Speaker 1: He was and they ended up going what nine to

386
00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:09,200
Speaker 1: eight at that point.

387
00:19:08,920 --> 00:19:11,280
Speaker 3: And he was so small, Yeah.

388
00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:16,080
Speaker 4: He was had no idea general the Giants or the Jets.

389
00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:19,800
Speaker 4: One of those new Jersey teams is making the Super Bowl.

390
00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:21,880
Speaker 4: Which one are you putting your money on?

391
00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:27,560
Speaker 5: J e Ts, Jets, Jets, Jets. Now the Hard Knocks.

392
00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:29,919
Speaker 5: First of all's go back to the Giants. Giants are

393
00:19:30,040 --> 00:19:32,240
Speaker 5: very fortunate to get in the playoffs. Good for them.

394
00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:35,440
Speaker 5: And I'm a sucker for Hard Knocks. I've seen every

395
00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:38,840
Speaker 5: episode there's ever been. This is really the Aaron Rodgers show,

396
00:19:39,359 --> 00:19:42,479
Speaker 5: and it's his pr the show for Rogers. Sure everybody

397
00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:45,879
Speaker 5: what a great guy is. And they do have a

398
00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:48,960
Speaker 5: lot of talent. And I know you guys know Robert Sala.

399
00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:53,480
Speaker 5: I know Robert Sala, like him, like to see Robert win,

400
00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:56,879
Speaker 5: and I think it'd be a great story to Jets

401
00:19:56,920 --> 00:20:01,000
Speaker 5: win instead of the Giants. I'm tempted writing a column

402
00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:05,400
Speaker 5: for sports Radio six ten dot com, predicting one about

403
00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:09,000
Speaker 5: the Texans record, predicting the league. And I can't decide

404
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:11,920
Speaker 5: what to do in AFC North in the AFC East,

405
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:15,680
Speaker 5: Who's gonna be my last place team? Did y'all see

406
00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:17,800
Speaker 5: where Deshaun Watson was named a captain.

407
00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:20,240
Speaker 2: I was gonna bring that up. I really didn't want

408
00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:21,200
Speaker 2: you when I was going to.

409
00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:23,520
Speaker 5: I'm bigging the Browns last in the division because I

410
00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:25,840
Speaker 5: can't pit Pittsburgh last.

411
00:20:25,880 --> 00:20:28,760
Speaker 2: What does that say about them?

412
00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:29,359
Speaker 3: It does?

413
00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:32,480
Speaker 2: Voting in captain? Is this because he brought the players

414
00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:35,919
Speaker 2: on nice vacations and let's go throw in Cabo or

415
00:20:35,960 --> 00:20:36,760
Speaker 2: whatever he did.

416
00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:41,800
Speaker 5: Usually you want capston captains to represent your team on

417
00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:42,919
Speaker 5: and off the field.

418
00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:47,560
Speaker 2: How could they possibly want that? I understand there is

419
00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:50,679
Speaker 2: such a thing as a redemption story. I get that,

420
00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:53,800
Speaker 2: but it's a little too soon anyway.

421
00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:56,840
Speaker 5: Yes, it is a little too soon. Yeah, So I'm

422
00:20:56,840 --> 00:20:59,920
Speaker 5: gonna pick New England last. I'm gonna pick Cleveland last

423
00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:04,840
Speaker 5: because I can't pick the Steelers with Mike Tomlin last plays,

424
00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:08,760
Speaker 5: and I cannot pick one of the other three for

425
00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:11,200
Speaker 5: last plays over the Patriots.

426
00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:14,280
Speaker 2: I'm here to say, though, the Bengals. Look, we're all

427
00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:17,840
Speaker 2: we all these teams are one injury away from Gor

428
00:21:17,960 --> 00:21:20,879
Speaker 2: millerity okay, and Joe Burrow is not a lock to

429
00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:24,439
Speaker 2: play opening Day. It's been said, it's not official. I

430
00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:26,760
Speaker 2: would imagine he would play, and it's the Browns. We

431
00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:29,000
Speaker 2: really need the Bengals to play. We need that nice

432
00:21:29,080 --> 00:21:32,840
Speaker 2: draft pick. Brown's got to lose all their games if possible,

433
00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:36,720
Speaker 2: so that'd be great. But if the Bengals stumble a

434
00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:40,040
Speaker 2: bit here, General, the Steelers winning the division is not

435
00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:42,600
Speaker 2: the most far fetched thing I've ever I'm thick in Baltimore.

436
00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:46,480
Speaker 5: I'm begging Baltimore, Cincinnati, Pittsburgh, and Cleveland.

437
00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:49,200
Speaker 2: Now, the Ravens aren't a bad pick because they still

438
00:21:49,200 --> 00:21:51,680
Speaker 2: made the playoffs with an injured Lamar Jackson didn't play

439
00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:55,159
Speaker 2: in a bunch of games. Hutley's playing, he is. But

440
00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:59,320
Speaker 2: guess what how many playoff games have they won since

441
00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:00,000
Speaker 2: twenty fourteen?

442
00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:01,359
Speaker 3: How many? One?

443
00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:06,640
Speaker 2: One win? That's it. One victory in the postseason since

444
00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:12,480
Speaker 2: twenty fourteen. Yeah, that's it. He beat the Titans in

445
00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:13,400
Speaker 2: the returning game.

446
00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:16,320
Speaker 1: Three he's played in three. He lost one as a

447
00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:21,520
Speaker 1: rookie of the Chargers. He lost, They lost the Titans, and.

448
00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:24,320
Speaker 4: Then they beat They beat the I'm sorry they've played

449
00:22:24,359 --> 00:22:26,240
Speaker 4: in four because he lost the Buffalo in that second

450
00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:29,240
Speaker 4: round after beating the Titans in twenty when he was

451
00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:31,119
Speaker 4: at the COVID year, I can't remember. They're all kind

452
00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:33,879
Speaker 4: of they're all kind of blurring together at that point. General,

453
00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:39,040
Speaker 4: you've got to pick the biggest surprise team, a good surprise,

454
00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:42,440
Speaker 4: the biggest surprise team, and you get to pick from

455
00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:44,240
Speaker 4: every last.

456
00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:46,560
Speaker 1: Place team in the division.

457
00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:52,439
Speaker 4: So that's their Bears, the Commanders, the Cardinals.

458
00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:55,560
Speaker 1: Who's your biggest surprise team?

459
00:22:56,320 --> 00:22:58,280
Speaker 4: May not win or go to the playoffs, but it's

460
00:22:58,320 --> 00:22:59,920
Speaker 4: gonna be a lot better than they weren't.

461
00:23:01,119 --> 00:23:03,920
Speaker 5: A lot of people are seeing the same thing and

462
00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:06,399
Speaker 5: picking the Bears. I don't know why. You know, what

463
00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:08,480
Speaker 5: did we see out the Bears that make them go

464
00:23:08,560 --> 00:23:11,440
Speaker 5: from the worst record to winning that division? Green Bay

465
00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:13,760
Speaker 5: may be pretty good with Jordan Love lines are gonna

466
00:23:13,760 --> 00:23:17,360
Speaker 5: be pretty good too, And maybe Minnesota goes from thirteen

467
00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:21,480
Speaker 5: and four to eleven and six and it's still pretty good.

468
00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:24,280
Speaker 5: I'm gonna say, who was who was last in the

469
00:23:24,359 --> 00:23:25,160
Speaker 5: NFC South?

470
00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:28,080
Speaker 2: That's what I was wondering, Trystal.

471
00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:32,199
Speaker 5: The Panthers, No, they won seven games, didn't they know?

472
00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:38,000
Speaker 5: Was it Atlanta Falcons? I'm gonna say the Falcon.

473
00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:39,640
Speaker 2: But they all won seven. There was a three way

474
00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:41,760
Speaker 2: tie for a second or last, however you want to

475
00:23:41,800 --> 00:23:43,600
Speaker 2: put it. And the Bucks won the division with an

476
00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:45,679
Speaker 2: eight and nine record. Do I have that right? Yes?

477
00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:47,760
Speaker 2: So that division was all bunched up.

478
00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:51,320
Speaker 5: I think a minute, I'm gonna pick Pittsburgh Pittsburgh finished

479
00:23:51,320 --> 00:23:51,720
Speaker 5: the last.

480
00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:52,159
Speaker 2: I like that.

481
00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:55,359
Speaker 3: Who was last in a It was the Jets. Last

482
00:23:55,359 --> 00:23:56,520
Speaker 3: INNFC East.

483
00:23:56,480 --> 00:23:58,000
Speaker 2: And the FC East it was the Jets.

484
00:23:58,080 --> 00:24:00,280
Speaker 5: So I'm gonna say Pittsburgh the Jets. I had to

485
00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:02,639
Speaker 5: pick one, it'd be j e je.

486
00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:05,399
Speaker 2: Here's the thing about your Jets Giants question. Johnny and

487
00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:07,800
Speaker 2: the Texans will be at the Jets December tenth, by

488
00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:10,439
Speaker 2: the way, I could. If I had to pick one

489
00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:12,080
Speaker 2: to go to the Super Bowl, would be the Jets.

490
00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:14,120
Speaker 2: But if I had to pick one to stumble and

491
00:24:14,320 --> 00:24:17,080
Speaker 2: totally torpedo this year, Jets, it would be the Jets.

492
00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:21,399
Speaker 2: So it's the same one. It's a high ceiling, low floor.

493
00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:24,359
Speaker 2: Whereas I think the Giants will be okay. They'll at

494
00:24:24,440 --> 00:24:27,919
Speaker 2: least be above sea level and able to maintain, and

495
00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:29,520
Speaker 2: they might not be great this year, but I think

496
00:24:29,560 --> 00:24:30,160
Speaker 2: they'll be okay.

497
00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:33,159
Speaker 5: Rogers is the best thing that happened to Brian Dable

498
00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:37,840
Speaker 5: and Danny Dimes and all that. Because nobody is paying

499
00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:40,720
Speaker 5: any attention to the Giants. There's no pressure on them

500
00:24:41,160 --> 00:24:43,920
Speaker 5: like there would be if the Jets were terrible. Everybody

501
00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:46,719
Speaker 5: used to pack the Giants to make up, jump up

502
00:24:46,760 --> 00:24:49,080
Speaker 5: and compete with the Cowboys and the Eagles. I got

503
00:24:49,080 --> 00:24:52,879
Speaker 5: another prediction. Nobody is repeated as champion in NFC East

504
00:24:52,920 --> 00:24:54,920
Speaker 5: in like fifteen years, so.

505
00:24:54,880 --> 00:24:56,399
Speaker 3: That means Philadelphia won't win it.

506
00:24:56,440 --> 00:24:59,399
Speaker 5: I may have in the Cowboys win the division and

507
00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:03,000
Speaker 5: then losing playoff short of the NFC Championship game for

508
00:25:03,040 --> 00:25:04,120
Speaker 5: the twenty eighth year in a row.

509
00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:08,280
Speaker 2: Which nickname was least deserved or less deserved? Danny Dimes

510
00:25:08,359 --> 00:25:09,960
Speaker 2: or Mattie Ice less.

511
00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:11,320
Speaker 3: To say both of those?

512
00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:17,239
Speaker 2: My god, okay, sounds like an ice skater, all right,

513
00:25:17,359 --> 00:25:19,680
Speaker 2: Danny Dimes sounds like some chid.

514
00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:26,199
Speaker 5: Child times now, who I'm being embarrassed even write or

515
00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:26,880
Speaker 5: say that.

516
00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:29,080
Speaker 2: All right, but you know, if you're the play by

517
00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:31,920
Speaker 2: play guy, Oh Bob Papa, no way would he reduce

518
00:25:31,960 --> 00:25:35,040
Speaker 2: it said much. He's busy doing champions What.

519
00:25:35,720 --> 00:25:38,280
Speaker 5: That you give somebody that was that turned out to

520
00:25:38,320 --> 00:25:39,399
Speaker 5: be a really good one.

521
00:25:39,720 --> 00:25:39,840
Speaker 1: Uh.

522
00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:43,480
Speaker 2: I don't think Oh Steve sleigh Ride Slaton sleigh Ride

523
00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:46,760
Speaker 2: Slate because he would take people with him, all right, general.

524
00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:48,440
Speaker 3: When he got season, I got it.

525
00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:52,680
Speaker 5: I got an Astro's column on the on sports radio

526
00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:55,680
Speaker 5: six ten dot com, got a Texans column on Sports

527
00:25:55,760 --> 00:25:59,600
Speaker 5: Radio six dot six ten, and thank you guys very much.

528
00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:03,080
Speaker 5: Is all always, it's fun time. Everybody's fired up about

529
00:26:03,119 --> 00:26:03,520
Speaker 5: the text.

530
00:26:03,560 --> 00:26:07,040
Speaker 2: Ten second question, Montana says Marino's the best quarterback ever.

531
00:26:07,359 --> 00:26:10,600
Speaker 3: Give me a break break, thank you?

532
00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:14,240
Speaker 2: All right, Johnny and I will debate that among other things. Next,

533
00:26:14,320 --> 00:26:17,680
Speaker 2: no debate, all right, not debate, but just expand on it,

534
00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:20,080
Speaker 2: more likely to happen? Who's better? All of it, plus

535
00:26:20,119 --> 00:26:22,960
Speaker 2: a couple of keys to the Ravens game that's going

536
00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:25,160
Speaker 2: to be a week from Sunday. Week one is upon

537
00:26:25,280 --> 00:26:31,920
Speaker 2: us very soon. It's Texans Radio, Texans All Access continues

538
00:26:31,960 --> 00:26:35,040
Speaker 2: in a moment, continuing on the program great to have

539
00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:38,400
Speaker 2: the general in earlier and in advance of the Texans

540
00:26:38,520 --> 00:26:42,760
Speaker 2: season premiere, which is tonight. Let's talk to Johnny Harris

541
00:26:42,840 --> 00:26:45,800
Speaker 2: now about some who's better mixed in with a more

542
00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:49,280
Speaker 2: likely to happen or two? You ready? Johnny? Okay, let's go,

543
00:26:49,320 --> 00:26:51,840
Speaker 2: all right, let's go who's better? Well, we talked about

544
00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:56,120
Speaker 2: this in segment one that Joe Montana said Dann Marino's

545
00:26:56,119 --> 00:27:00,880
Speaker 2: the greatest quarterback ever. So who's better, Johnny, Dan Marino

546
00:27:01,320 --> 00:27:05,720
Speaker 2: or John Elway? I left Montana out of it, Elway

547
00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:06,800
Speaker 2: or Marino.

548
00:27:07,119 --> 00:27:10,240
Speaker 4: I will always answer this question with John Elway, and

549
00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:13,000
Speaker 4: I answer that question with John Elway because you know

550
00:27:13,040 --> 00:27:15,840
Speaker 4: how I feel about quarterback run game, and I feel

551
00:27:15,880 --> 00:27:18,040
Speaker 4: like if I took Dan Marino at John Elway in

552
00:27:18,040 --> 00:27:18,960
Speaker 4: today's game.

553
00:27:18,800 --> 00:27:20,000
Speaker 1: Marino would light it up.

554
00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:23,879
Speaker 4: I mean, it would be fascinating to watch Marino, but

555
00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:25,600
Speaker 4: he just couldn't move in a I mean, he was

556
00:27:25,640 --> 00:27:28,920
Speaker 4: not mobile, and I think that as defensive schemes got

557
00:27:28,960 --> 00:27:32,960
Speaker 4: more difficult, I think they would have forced him to

558
00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:33,560
Speaker 4: move a little bit.

559
00:27:33,600 --> 00:27:34,360
Speaker 1: That wasn't his thing.

560
00:27:35,520 --> 00:27:37,880
Speaker 4: I think the RPO game and all of that would

561
00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:41,120
Speaker 4: have made John Elway unstoppable. It would have made John

562
00:27:41,160 --> 00:27:44,520
Speaker 4: Elway Patrick Mahomes with what they could have what they

563
00:27:44,560 --> 00:27:47,560
Speaker 4: could have done. I always felt like as I got

564
00:27:47,640 --> 00:27:49,600
Speaker 4: older and understood the game a little bit more, I

565
00:27:49,600 --> 00:27:51,960
Speaker 4: always looked back at the time with the Broncos and thought, man,

566
00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:55,359
Speaker 4: they really they really pulled the reins on him. I

567
00:27:55,359 --> 00:27:59,800
Speaker 4: wish they would have had these offenses now if Marino

568
00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:03,560
Speaker 4: played in these offenses and against these defenses where you

569
00:28:03,600 --> 00:28:05,240
Speaker 4: didn't get away the eighties you.

570
00:28:05,240 --> 00:28:06,120
Speaker 1: Got away with everything.

571
00:28:06,320 --> 00:28:08,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, now you can't get away with anything, apparently unless

572
00:28:08,800 --> 00:28:09,560
Speaker 4: you're Sauce Gardner.

573
00:28:11,600 --> 00:28:14,040
Speaker 1: I think Marino and Elway would have been fantastic.

574
00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:16,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, but I'm gonna go Lway just because I want

575
00:28:16,440 --> 00:28:18,399
Speaker 4: that quarterback run game, and I would have.

576
00:28:18,840 --> 00:28:22,240
Speaker 1: I would have run RPOs all day long with John Alway.

577
00:28:22,240 --> 00:28:23,280
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna go John Elway.

578
00:28:23,560 --> 00:28:26,000
Speaker 2: I like Elway a lot. But as I said, I

579
00:28:26,040 --> 00:28:28,760
Speaker 2: love that love that Marino is getting. Right now, some

580
00:28:28,840 --> 00:28:31,520
Speaker 2: of the old school loved Montana making the rounds in

581
00:28:31,560 --> 00:28:34,800
Speaker 2: the media talking about how good Marino was. Never mind

582
00:28:34,800 --> 00:28:37,600
Speaker 2: how good Montana was. And the rules do change so

583
00:28:37,720 --> 00:28:40,680
Speaker 2: much those seventies quarterbacks. These are eighties quarterbacks. We're talking

584
00:28:40,720 --> 00:28:45,080
Speaker 2: about the seventies quarterbacks. Fifty percent was the mark. If

585
00:28:45,120 --> 00:28:47,960
Speaker 2: you were above fifty, ay, that's pretty good completion percentage

586
00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:50,080
Speaker 2: right there. They were going deep a lot. Wasn't the

587
00:28:50,080 --> 00:28:52,600
Speaker 2: short West Coast passing game that we're accustomed to seeing.

588
00:28:52,760 --> 00:28:54,760
Speaker 2: It's different, all right, Let's mix it a more likely

589
00:28:54,800 --> 00:28:58,520
Speaker 2: to happen here with a week one theme, and I'm

590
00:28:58,560 --> 00:29:00,720
Speaker 2: gonna go the rest of the way with this. So

591
00:29:00,960 --> 00:29:04,800
Speaker 2: the Lions, Johnny, are playing the Chiefs week one, one

592
00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:07,960
Speaker 2: week from tonight. That's it. NFL season starts. It's the

593
00:29:08,040 --> 00:29:10,840
Speaker 2: Lions at Kansas City, and let me get back to

594
00:29:10,880 --> 00:29:14,360
Speaker 2: the rant that I put together when the schedule was released,

595
00:29:14,600 --> 00:29:18,600
Speaker 2: which was, come on, I know that you could have

596
00:29:18,760 --> 00:29:21,760
Speaker 2: the Chiefs playing a team of Gerbils on opening that

597
00:29:21,840 --> 00:29:24,400
Speaker 2: you're gonna get a big number in the ratings. But

598
00:29:24,880 --> 00:29:27,080
Speaker 2: this is supposed to be if you can possibly get

599
00:29:27,120 --> 00:29:30,040
Speaker 2: in a Super Bowl matchup or an AFC Championship game matchup,

600
00:29:30,080 --> 00:29:32,640
Speaker 2: or at least a good matchup. And I know people

601
00:29:32,640 --> 00:29:34,480
Speaker 2: are gonna say, well, Detroit's really good, they had a

602
00:29:34,560 --> 00:29:37,040
Speaker 2: nice season. Give me a break. This is a layup

603
00:29:37,080 --> 00:29:40,640
Speaker 2: for the Chiefs. Chiefs by ten minimum. But what do

604
00:29:40,640 --> 00:29:44,120
Speaker 2: you think more likely to happen? Lions beat the Chiefs

605
00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:47,760
Speaker 2: or the Colts beat the Jaguars. Who's got the better

606
00:29:47,880 --> 00:29:50,920
Speaker 2: chance at an upset Week one? Colts over the Jags

607
00:29:50,960 --> 00:29:53,480
Speaker 2: at home, Lions over the Chiefs on the road.

608
00:29:53,880 --> 00:29:56,040
Speaker 4: The Colts would have no shot of beating the Jags.

609
00:29:56,120 --> 00:29:59,720
Speaker 4: This in Duval County, nohing. They just don't beat the

610
00:29:59,800 --> 00:30:04,479
Speaker 4: ja in Jacksonville for whatever reason. But it's in Indianapolis.

611
00:30:04,800 --> 00:30:07,200
Speaker 4: I could see the Colts hanging around for a little bit.

612
00:30:08,600 --> 00:30:10,800
Speaker 4: I mean, that's that's so hard because I don't see

613
00:30:10,800 --> 00:30:13,440
Speaker 4: either team winny. But you know, what I'm I'm gonna

614
00:30:13,480 --> 00:30:16,040
Speaker 4: make you disappointed. I'm gonna go with the Colts. Okay,

615
00:30:16,080 --> 00:30:19,080
Speaker 4: Colts playing at home. The Chiefs aren't about to lose

616
00:30:19,480 --> 00:30:22,440
Speaker 4: on a night in which a first game of the year.

617
00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:24,760
Speaker 4: So they've got some offensive tricks up their sleep. Yeah,

618
00:30:25,520 --> 00:30:28,640
Speaker 4: one two or A or B whatever.

619
00:30:28,760 --> 00:30:29,600
Speaker 2: Two one A.

620
00:30:30,640 --> 00:30:33,600
Speaker 1: They're not gonna lose on the night they get the rings.

621
00:30:34,040 --> 00:30:36,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, so they're gonna bring in some offensive firepower that

622
00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:38,160
Speaker 4: you haven't seen yet.

623
00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:41,200
Speaker 1: They're not gonna lose on the night they're being given

624
00:30:41,240 --> 00:30:43,480
Speaker 1: the rings or drop there.

625
00:30:44,040 --> 00:30:46,040
Speaker 2: We were there the night they got their rings in

626
00:30:46,160 --> 00:30:47,320
Speaker 2: twenty twenty.

627
00:30:47,720 --> 00:30:52,080
Speaker 1: Yuck. Yeah, that's stunk. Was awful in the Lions.

628
00:30:52,240 --> 00:30:56,080
Speaker 4: As good as they are defensively, I don't think they've

629
00:30:56,120 --> 00:30:58,880
Speaker 4: got enough yet to stop the Chiefs at all. I

630
00:30:58,920 --> 00:31:01,880
Speaker 4: do think the Lions will put points, and I'm curious

631
00:31:01,880 --> 00:31:05,560
Speaker 4: to see how the Chiefs react without Chris Jones. But

632
00:31:05,640 --> 00:31:08,960
Speaker 4: I'd be willing to bet anything I've got that the

633
00:31:09,040 --> 00:31:11,040
Speaker 4: Chiefs are gonna win that football game. So I'm gonna

634
00:31:11,080 --> 00:31:15,360
Speaker 4: give the Colts a shot because one Anthony Richardson in

635
00:31:15,400 --> 00:31:17,600
Speaker 4: the run game will be different than the Jags are

636
00:31:18,040 --> 00:31:20,520
Speaker 4: accustomed to and that can be just enough to keep

637
00:31:20,560 --> 00:31:24,800
Speaker 4: them off track. Two, they're playing in Indianapolis, so I

638
00:31:24,800 --> 00:31:27,760
Speaker 4: get him a little bit of a shot because it's

639
00:31:27,760 --> 00:31:28,840
Speaker 4: not in Duvall County.

640
00:31:29,680 --> 00:31:32,520
Speaker 1: And Three, the Jags believe the hype.

641
00:31:32,680 --> 00:31:36,360
Speaker 4: They you know, their Twitter feed is You'll pick a

642
00:31:36,360 --> 00:31:38,960
Speaker 4: weapon and then they show pictures of all their guys.

643
00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:41,400
Speaker 1: I'm like, they're in one of those guys that went

644
00:31:41,440 --> 00:31:44,160
Speaker 1: to a Pro Bowl. So calm them down. Relax.

645
00:31:44,720 --> 00:31:48,080
Speaker 4: You're not that good yet. So as much as we

646
00:31:48,120 --> 00:31:49,920
Speaker 4: want to say Jackson's good, and I've said that for

647
00:31:49,960 --> 00:31:54,480
Speaker 4: a while, relax, you're not in the Chiefs Ball club yet.

648
00:31:54,520 --> 00:31:57,640
Speaker 4: You're not in the Bills Arena just yet. You're not

649
00:31:57,880 --> 00:32:01,000
Speaker 4: with the Bengals yet. Those teams have Pro Bowl talent

650
00:32:01,040 --> 00:32:03,880
Speaker 4: across the board. You have decent talent and a guy

651
00:32:03,920 --> 00:32:06,440
Speaker 4: coming off a gambling suspension for the last year and

652
00:32:06,480 --> 00:32:09,760
Speaker 4: a half. So just relax. You're not that good yet.

653
00:32:09,800 --> 00:32:14,200
Speaker 4: So I'm going Colts. I'm picking the Jags, but the

654
00:32:14,240 --> 00:32:15,280
Speaker 4: Colts that had a better shot.

655
00:32:15,360 --> 00:32:18,120
Speaker 2: To me, Yeah, I think you're right about that. I

656
00:32:18,160 --> 00:32:20,440
Speaker 2: don't like the Lions at all in this game. It's

657
00:32:20,480 --> 00:32:23,520
Speaker 2: a good spot for them, though, because no one's expecting

658
00:32:23,560 --> 00:32:25,440
Speaker 2: them to win, and you get the little mini by

659
00:32:25,600 --> 00:32:28,520
Speaker 2: right after your first game to really get adjusted to

660
00:32:28,600 --> 00:32:31,840
Speaker 2: the let's get better in week two montrap and then

661
00:32:31,880 --> 00:32:33,640
Speaker 2: they can take it from there. But let me ask you,

662
00:32:34,120 --> 00:32:36,360
Speaker 2: I don't know if you've made your preseason predictions yet,

663
00:32:36,360 --> 00:32:39,120
Speaker 2: but who might you lean toward in the NFC North?

664
00:32:39,240 --> 00:32:41,680
Speaker 2: Is it Minnesota? Is a Detroit? Is it somebody else?

665
00:32:42,240 --> 00:32:42,680
Speaker 1: You know what.

666
00:32:42,720 --> 00:32:44,800
Speaker 4: This is gonna sound strange, but I'm going with the

667
00:32:44,840 --> 00:32:46,440
Speaker 4: old standby. I'm going with the Packers.

668
00:32:46,840 --> 00:32:50,080
Speaker 2: No, yes, okay, all right, I've got a who's better

669
00:32:50,080 --> 00:32:55,360
Speaker 2: for you? Then? Who's better Dallas or anybody in the

670
00:32:55,480 --> 00:32:58,560
Speaker 2: NFC North. If Dallas is in the NFC North, do

671
00:32:58,600 --> 00:33:00,640
Speaker 2: they win the division? It sounds weird because you can

672
00:33:00,680 --> 00:33:03,360
Speaker 2: almost say Dallas is better than anybody in the NFC North,

673
00:33:03,400 --> 00:33:05,800
Speaker 2: But no, they wouldn't win that division. It feels like

674
00:33:05,880 --> 00:33:10,080
Speaker 2: both things could be true. But anyway, who's better Dallas

675
00:33:10,400 --> 00:33:12,120
Speaker 2: or anybody in the NFC North?

676
00:33:12,320 --> 00:33:17,360
Speaker 4: A lower interception throwing Dak Prescott led Dallas Cowboys team

677
00:33:17,720 --> 00:33:19,800
Speaker 4: I think would go twelve and five in the NFC North.

678
00:33:20,040 --> 00:33:22,360
Speaker 1: Oh, look, I think the Packers nine to eight could

679
00:33:22,360 --> 00:33:23,160
Speaker 1: win that division.

680
00:33:23,720 --> 00:33:27,440
Speaker 4: But I've seen some team I've seen some analysts saying

681
00:33:27,480 --> 00:33:29,000
Speaker 4: the Bears could go twelve and five.

682
00:33:30,200 --> 00:33:32,760
Speaker 2: What where is that coming from.

683
00:33:33,280 --> 00:33:37,400
Speaker 4: It's a lot of it's coming from. I think the offseason. Ooh,

684
00:33:37,440 --> 00:33:39,800
Speaker 4: they got Dj Moore to go with Justin Fields. Look,

685
00:33:40,120 --> 00:33:42,080
Speaker 4: Justin still got to do it. He still has to

686
00:33:42,120 --> 00:33:43,440
Speaker 4: show it now. I think Justin.

687
00:33:43,240 --> 00:33:44,080
Speaker 1: Fields would be better.

688
00:33:44,240 --> 00:33:46,440
Speaker 4: Don't get me wrong, but I'm not about to crown

689
00:33:46,480 --> 00:33:50,200
Speaker 4: the Bears after going three and fourteen last year. I mean,

690
00:33:50,240 --> 00:33:53,640
Speaker 4: if they get to eight wins, that's that solid improvement.

691
00:33:53,880 --> 00:33:56,240
Speaker 4: They made a lot of changes to the roster, but

692
00:33:57,200 --> 00:33:58,640
Speaker 4: DJ Moore is an elite receiver.

693
00:33:58,760 --> 00:34:00,400
Speaker 1: But after that, what else is.

694
00:34:00,400 --> 00:34:03,680
Speaker 4: Elite on that team? I mean, Justin Fields has to

695
00:34:03,680 --> 00:34:05,760
Speaker 4: be elite. I don't think he's there yet. The Vikings

696
00:34:05,800 --> 00:34:08,799
Speaker 4: I don't trust. They tore down some pieces. Dalvin Cook gone,

697
00:34:08,880 --> 00:34:12,080
Speaker 4: Eric Kenrick's gone. Yes, they got Justin Jefferson, I get it.

698
00:34:12,280 --> 00:34:14,879
Speaker 4: And Kirk Cousins. Maybe we all respect him more because

699
00:34:14,880 --> 00:34:16,719
Speaker 4: he did the documentary and what you saw of him there.

700
00:34:16,920 --> 00:34:19,719
Speaker 4: I still not buying the Vikings and the Lions I

701
00:34:19,760 --> 00:34:22,520
Speaker 4: think are they're They're like SNL, They're not ready for

702
00:34:22,560 --> 00:34:23,480
Speaker 4: primetime players.

703
00:34:23,560 --> 00:34:27,439
Speaker 1: Just yet. You know what I'm thinking, Jordan Love, he's

704
00:34:27,480 --> 00:34:29,520
Speaker 1: ready to go. Yeah, and I think he's got a

705
00:34:29,520 --> 00:34:30,160
Speaker 1: bunch of talent.

706
00:34:31,360 --> 00:34:34,800
Speaker 4: And would it surprised you after hearing that the Packers

707
00:34:34,800 --> 00:34:37,640
Speaker 4: were in the sweepstakes for Jonathan Taylor for them to

708
00:34:37,760 --> 00:34:43,400
Speaker 4: not get something done potentially, I mean they had Jonathan

709
00:34:43,400 --> 00:34:46,920
Speaker 4: taylored Aaron Jones, Oh boy, wow.

710
00:34:46,560 --> 00:34:49,920
Speaker 1: Wow wow. Yeah. I don't know that it will happened.

711
00:34:50,120 --> 00:34:51,919
Speaker 1: The Colts just here.

712
00:34:52,080 --> 00:34:54,279
Speaker 4: The Colts have got to get Jim Ursay out of

713
00:34:54,320 --> 00:34:57,759
Speaker 4: the building. It's gonna have Chris Ballard sit in the

714
00:34:57,840 --> 00:35:02,440
Speaker 4: room with Jonathan Taylor, them work it out, and just Chris,

715
00:35:02,480 --> 00:35:03,000
Speaker 4: I'm going with it.

716
00:35:03,120 --> 00:35:07,000
Speaker 2: That could happen. It could happen, But I don't know

717
00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:09,560
Speaker 2: if I say we'll let it building permanently.

718
00:35:09,760 --> 00:35:11,680
Speaker 1: This was good today, Mark. They talked about the.

719
00:35:11,719 --> 00:35:16,399
Speaker 4: Running backs that the Colts have had over the over

720
00:35:16,440 --> 00:35:21,600
Speaker 4: the years. Edrin James didn't want to pay him, Eric

721
00:35:21,640 --> 00:35:23,680
Speaker 4: Dickerson didn't want to pay him.

722
00:35:23,920 --> 00:35:26,400
Speaker 1: All these guys that we ended up Innneapolis is really.

723
00:35:26,280 --> 00:35:30,160
Speaker 2: Good about our buddy from Sharpstown, M. Joseph had died

724
00:35:30,640 --> 00:35:34,319
Speaker 2: because he actually won the Super Bowl with them in

725
00:35:34,360 --> 00:35:37,759
Speaker 2: the sixth season. Right, Okay, So.

726
00:35:37,920 --> 00:35:41,319
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think it's gonna be interesting if Ersay would

727
00:35:41,400 --> 00:35:43,480
Speaker 4: get out of the way. She's the owner. I mean,

728
00:35:43,480 --> 00:35:46,480
Speaker 4: he's not going to I think Ballard could get it done.

729
00:35:46,640 --> 00:35:48,080
Speaker 4: Wisconsin guy, a Wisconsin guy.

730
00:35:49,600 --> 00:35:52,600
Speaker 1: You know. Ballard's no nonsense. I think Taylor likes him.

731
00:35:53,440 --> 00:35:56,160
Speaker 4: It's just you know, Ursay's in the mix, and I

732
00:35:56,160 --> 00:35:58,800
Speaker 4: think that complicates things. But look, if they want to

733
00:35:58,800 --> 00:36:00,719
Speaker 4: send him to Green Bay, that's great. All I know

734
00:36:00,880 --> 00:36:02,719
Speaker 4: is we two twenty eight is not gonna be on

735
00:36:02,719 --> 00:36:04,520
Speaker 4: the field when we face them back at home. And

736
00:36:04,600 --> 00:36:05,440
Speaker 4: that makes me happy.

737
00:36:05,719 --> 00:36:08,759
Speaker 2: Absolutely, It makes me so happy. All Right, I've got

738
00:36:08,760 --> 00:36:12,879
Speaker 2: another Who's better for you? Better primetime game? Week one?

739
00:36:13,200 --> 00:36:13,399
Speaker 1: Boy?

740
00:36:13,440 --> 00:36:14,840
Speaker 2: Next week? What are we gonna talk about? We have

741
00:36:14,880 --> 00:36:19,319
Speaker 2: a lot. It never ends better primetime game. Cowboys at

742
00:36:19,360 --> 00:36:21,759
Speaker 2: the Giants. I'm leaving the Chiefs and the Lions out

743
00:36:21,760 --> 00:36:24,719
Speaker 2: of this. Cowboys at the Giants, and then a day

744
00:36:24,800 --> 00:36:28,280
Speaker 2: later they have to turn that MetLife Stadium around quickly.

745
00:36:28,760 --> 00:36:32,160
Speaker 2: It's the Bills at the Jets. Which is the better

746
00:36:32,280 --> 00:36:36,080
Speaker 2: primetime game. They got to zipper those end zones and

747
00:36:36,200 --> 00:36:38,480
Speaker 2: change all the decor. They can do that. They can

748
00:36:38,520 --> 00:36:41,240
Speaker 2: flip that thing really fast. It's football for it's football

749
00:36:41,280 --> 00:36:44,040
Speaker 2: into football and not like ice hockey or something so

750
00:36:44,520 --> 00:36:48,080
Speaker 2: better primetime game. Giants hosting the Cowboys, Jets hosting the Bills.

751
00:36:48,239 --> 00:36:49,120
Speaker 2: Which one's better?

752
00:36:49,560 --> 00:36:52,480
Speaker 4: I think the intrigue for me is more than Jets Bills.

753
00:36:53,000 --> 00:36:55,840
Speaker 4: I'm not totally convinced that's gonna be the better game, though.

754
00:36:56,440 --> 00:36:59,400
Speaker 4: I think Cowboys Giants is gonna be a bare knuckle brawl.

755
00:37:00,120 --> 00:37:02,440
Speaker 4: Be honest, I think those teams are gonna hit the

756
00:37:02,480 --> 00:37:05,320
Speaker 4: absolute you know what out of each other. Zach Martin's

757
00:37:05,320 --> 00:37:08,280
Speaker 4: back to the Cowboys. Uh So, Zach Martin against Dexter

758
00:37:08,360 --> 00:37:11,120
Speaker 4: Lawrence is gonna be fantastic. I think Daniel Jones and

759
00:37:11,160 --> 00:37:14,000
Speaker 4: that offense have really peeled back a few layers.

760
00:37:14,200 --> 00:37:15,440
Speaker 1: They've hadded Darren Waller.

761
00:37:16,320 --> 00:37:19,080
Speaker 4: I think that Cowboys Giants game, and I always kind

762
00:37:19,080 --> 00:37:22,760
Speaker 4: of rail against, you know, Sunday night football. It's always

763
00:37:22,760 --> 00:37:24,560
Speaker 4: Cowboys Giants to start the year.

764
00:37:24,680 --> 00:37:27,879
Speaker 1: But I get it. I get it. I mean number,

765
00:37:28,280 --> 00:37:28,719
Speaker 1: get a.

766
00:37:28,760 --> 00:37:32,560
Speaker 4: Monster number, a monster number, because the Giants are gonna

767
00:37:32,560 --> 00:37:35,279
Speaker 4: be better. It's always the Cowboys that's gonna be a

768
00:37:35,280 --> 00:37:38,279
Speaker 4: monster number. So I'm gonna go Cowboys Giants. I think

769
00:37:38,280 --> 00:37:39,919
Speaker 4: that's gonna be a better game. I'm probably a little

770
00:37:39,920 --> 00:37:41,520
Speaker 4: bit more intrigued because I want to see what Rogers

771
00:37:41,520 --> 00:37:44,359
Speaker 4: looks like with the Jets in a full game and

772
00:37:44,400 --> 00:37:47,720
Speaker 4: how that looks together. And I'm curious how the Bills

773
00:37:47,760 --> 00:37:49,960
Speaker 4: will play coming off the way they finish. They're just

774
00:37:50,000 --> 00:37:53,759
Speaker 4: bad vibes around the Bills all this offseason. Digs see

775
00:37:53,800 --> 00:37:56,960
Speaker 4: how they react, which makes it very intriguing.

776
00:37:56,960 --> 00:37:59,320
Speaker 1: But I think the better game will be Cowboys Giants.

777
00:37:59,360 --> 00:38:01,960
Speaker 2: But wait a minute, who wins that Bills Jets game.

778
00:38:02,239 --> 00:38:05,880
Speaker 4: I feel like I can't go against the Bills, but

779
00:38:06,040 --> 00:38:08,040
Speaker 4: I just don't feel great about doing it. You know what,

780
00:38:08,080 --> 00:38:11,960
Speaker 4: I'm going Bills, I'm gonna pick the Giants in the Bills. Okay,

781
00:38:12,120 --> 00:38:15,120
Speaker 4: We're going Giants and Bills Gihans over Cowboys straight up,

782
00:38:15,360 --> 00:38:17,080
Speaker 4: Bills over Jets straight up.

783
00:38:17,520 --> 00:38:20,359
Speaker 2: So a team from New York will win. And it's

784
00:38:20,360 --> 00:38:22,480
Speaker 2: the only team from New York in this four team

785
00:38:22,560 --> 00:38:25,200
Speaker 2: combination because the Bills playing Western New York and the

786
00:38:25,200 --> 00:38:27,279
Speaker 2: Giants and Jets play in the New Jersey. I just

787
00:38:27,320 --> 00:38:28,680
Speaker 2: had to mention that there it is.

788
00:38:28,680 --> 00:38:30,359
Speaker 1: Oh, by the way, have you seen hard Knocks yet?

789
00:38:30,520 --> 00:38:31,719

Speaker 2: Also coming up in a few minutes. We're gonna get

00:39:00,200 --> 00:39:03,120
Speaker 2: into it even though it's not Week one yet. Week

800
00:39:03,239 --> 00:39:08,160
Speaker 2: one sneak Peak, snack Slash or derv Johnny gives a

801
00:39:08,200 --> 00:39:11,520
Speaker 2: couple of keys early on. Team's got to work on

802
00:39:11,640 --> 00:39:13,880
Speaker 2: this next week. We talked about it with Demiko Ryans

803
00:39:13,880 --> 00:39:16,640
Speaker 2: earlier this week. Who's going to impersonate Lamar Jackson on

804
00:39:16,680 --> 00:39:19,040
Speaker 2: the Scout team. Let's get into that and some other

805
00:39:19,160 --> 00:39:23,320
Speaker 2: stuff as Texans All Access continues. It's Texans Radio final

806
00:39:23,320 --> 00:39:26,200
Speaker 2: segment Here on Texans Radio. Mark vandermir and John Harris

807
00:39:26,239 --> 00:39:28,160
Speaker 2: with you tonight, and it was great to have the

808
00:39:28,200 --> 00:39:30,600
Speaker 2: general on earlier. I'm getting ready for the season premiere

809
00:39:30,600 --> 00:39:34,080
Speaker 2: in a few moments, so let's get into this now, Johnny,

810
00:39:34,480 --> 00:39:37,560
Speaker 2: as the team plays Baltimore a week from Sunday. We

811
00:39:37,600 --> 00:39:39,840
Speaker 2: talked about it last segment. A week from tonight is

812
00:39:39,960 --> 00:39:43,640
Speaker 2: Chiefs Lions. My goodness, we're a week away from NFL season.

813
00:39:43,920 --> 00:39:48,520
Speaker 2: College hot and heavy this weekend. But the Texans on Sunday,

814
00:39:48,600 --> 00:39:52,200
Speaker 2: September tenth at Baltimore. They've got a full week plus

815
00:39:52,239 --> 00:39:53,920
Speaker 2: of prep and you and I both know, and we've

816
00:39:53,960 --> 00:39:56,200
Speaker 2: said it, they've been getting ready for the Ravens since May.

817
00:39:56,560 --> 00:40:00,279
Speaker 2: So what is the key here? It's obviously Lamar Jackson him.

818
00:40:00,480 --> 00:40:04,120
Speaker 2: We talked to Tamika Ryan's about who's going to simulate

819
00:40:04,280 --> 00:40:06,680
Speaker 2: him for the look team. How do you think they

820
00:40:06,680 --> 00:40:10,600
Speaker 2: handle that? What's important about playing Lamar Jackson, especially in

821
00:40:10,640 --> 00:40:11,160
Speaker 2: his place?

822
00:40:11,760 --> 00:40:15,280
Speaker 4: I think with Lamar Jackson at all, I think open

823
00:40:15,320 --> 00:40:17,919
Speaker 4: field tackling is the biggest key that it's ever been

824
00:40:18,120 --> 00:40:21,440
Speaker 4: because you're talking about guys that can make you absolutely

825
00:40:21,480 --> 00:40:25,719
Speaker 4: embarrassed in space. You're talking about Zayflowers at receiver, the

826
00:40:25,800 --> 00:40:27,040
Speaker 4: rookie out of Boston College.

827
00:40:27,080 --> 00:40:28,239
Speaker 1: It's exactly what he is.

828
00:40:28,520 --> 00:40:33,160
Speaker 4: Devin Duverne from Texas on special teams, you know, bubble

829
00:40:33,200 --> 00:40:35,439
Speaker 4: screens and stuff out of the slot, that's his game.

830
00:40:35,600 --> 00:40:38,800
Speaker 4: Odell Beckham Junior has that he's not quite the shifty

831
00:40:38,840 --> 00:40:40,880
Speaker 4: guy he used to be with a change of direction,

832
00:40:41,080 --> 00:40:42,680
Speaker 4: but he's very good after the catch.

833
00:40:42,840 --> 00:40:44,160
Speaker 1: And then of course there's number eight.

834
00:40:44,480 --> 00:40:47,040
Speaker 4: So you got all those guys to worry about tackling

835
00:40:47,040 --> 00:40:49,439
Speaker 4: in the open space. So to me, on the off

836
00:40:49,520 --> 00:40:51,600
Speaker 4: on the defensive side of the ball, it is open

837
00:40:51,920 --> 00:40:56,040
Speaker 4: field tackling. It's getting there on the inside hip. It's

838
00:40:56,040 --> 00:40:58,360
Speaker 4: not getting shaken out of your shoes, and it's wrapping

839
00:40:58,480 --> 00:41:00,600
Speaker 4: up and bringing guys to the ground on the other

840
00:41:00,640 --> 00:41:01,279
Speaker 4: side of the ball.

841
00:41:01,320 --> 00:41:02,640
Speaker 1: To me, it's very very simple.

842
00:41:03,080 --> 00:41:07,480
Speaker 4: They must get a hat on Roquan Smith amap.

843
00:41:08,280 --> 00:41:10,880
Speaker 1: They have to get him blocked.

844
00:41:11,080 --> 00:41:12,759
Speaker 4: If I look at their front seven, I look at

845
00:41:12,760 --> 00:41:13,960
Speaker 4: it and go, you know, it's okay.

846
00:41:14,239 --> 00:41:17,560
Speaker 1: But there's no Klays Campbell. There's no Brandon Williams who

847
00:41:17,640 --> 00:41:21,000
Speaker 1: used to kill us. There's no trell Suggs somebody like that.

848
00:41:21,280 --> 00:41:24,480
Speaker 1: They're kind of grinders and they're good up front. They're

849
00:41:24,520 --> 00:41:25,000
Speaker 1: not great.

850
00:41:25,080 --> 00:41:28,000
Speaker 4: The edge guys are young still, so they really haven't

851
00:41:28,040 --> 00:41:33,920
Speaker 4: been established totally. But number zero is a stud and

852
00:41:34,000 --> 00:41:36,839
Speaker 4: if they can't get Roquan blocked, the run game will

853
00:41:36,840 --> 00:41:39,480
Speaker 4: go nowhere because Roquwan's playing with a better group than

854
00:41:39,520 --> 00:41:42,800
Speaker 4: he did in Chicago. And yes, Damian Pierce had some

855
00:41:42,880 --> 00:41:45,400
Speaker 4: yards against the Bears last year, but they had a

856
00:41:45,400 --> 00:41:48,680
Speaker 4: really hard time getting too Roquan and Roquwan had an

857
00:41:48,680 --> 00:41:49,399
Speaker 4: incredible game.

858
00:41:50,040 --> 00:41:51,080
Speaker 1: So to me, it's.

859
00:41:50,920 --> 00:41:54,600
Speaker 4: Open field tackling against the Ravens ball carriers and Lamar.

860
00:41:55,560 --> 00:41:58,480
Speaker 1: It is getting a hat on Roquan Smith.

861
00:41:58,480 --> 00:42:01,520
Speaker 4: If you don't get a hat on Rokwan Smith, get it, you.

862
00:42:01,440 --> 00:42:02,080
Speaker 1: Can forget it.

863
00:42:02,800 --> 00:42:04,600
Speaker 4: There probably won't be a Marlon Humphrey in this game,

864
00:42:04,640 --> 00:42:06,880
Speaker 4: so that's gonna help. So you need to attack that

865
00:42:06,960 --> 00:42:10,000
Speaker 4: side of the field or Marlon Humphrey is. But you

866
00:42:10,080 --> 00:42:11,880
Speaker 4: got to get the run game going, and you won't

867
00:42:11,880 --> 00:42:14,880
Speaker 4: get it going if you're letting rokwand Smith unblock to

868
00:42:14,880 --> 00:42:15,680
Speaker 4: go make plays.

869
00:42:15,880 --> 00:42:17,640
Speaker 2: Look, we never know how it's going to play out,

870
00:42:17,680 --> 00:42:20,600
Speaker 2: but I'm trying to think about the toughest openers in

871
00:42:20,640 --> 00:42:24,240
Speaker 2: the history of the franchise, and it's hard to imagine

872
00:42:24,280 --> 00:42:28,560
Speaker 2: a more difficult one, especially considering what you are right now,

873
00:42:28,680 --> 00:42:30,200
Speaker 2: which is you don't really know what you are. You

874
00:42:30,239 --> 00:42:32,879
Speaker 2: got a rookie quarterback, all these young players we've talked

875
00:42:32,880 --> 00:42:36,480
Speaker 2: about it first time head coach. He's the first Texans

876
00:42:36,520 --> 00:42:38,680
Speaker 2: head coach to have to make his debut on the road.

877
00:42:39,200 --> 00:42:41,920
Speaker 2: I think about twenty twenty. We talked about it earlier

878
00:42:42,160 --> 00:42:44,440
Speaker 2: at the Chiefs. That's a tough one, but you just

879
00:42:44,480 --> 00:42:46,279
Speaker 2: went toe to toe with them, well sort of in

880
00:42:46,280 --> 00:42:48,080
Speaker 2: the playoffs. You had that twenty four to zering lead.

881
00:42:48,120 --> 00:42:49,560
Speaker 2: You should be able to play with them. You beat

882
00:42:49,600 --> 00:42:51,840
Speaker 2: them the year before in the regular season, but that

883
00:42:52,040 --> 00:42:54,879
Speaker 2: was another lot side of the fair. I can't think

884
00:42:54,920 --> 00:42:59,200
Speaker 2: of too many tougher ones than this as far as openers. Now.

885
00:42:59,239 --> 00:43:01,200
Speaker 2: It might turn out to be a close game, and

886
00:43:01,239 --> 00:43:04,240
Speaker 2: you've had some really difficult games to start the season

887
00:43:04,280 --> 00:43:07,400
Speaker 2: the Jets at nine and the Jaguars in seventeen and

888
00:43:07,680 --> 00:43:10,279
Speaker 2: games like that. I can't think of another one though

889
00:43:10,320 --> 00:43:13,200
Speaker 2: that I think is much more difficult than this. This

890
00:43:13,320 --> 00:43:15,479
Speaker 2: might take the cake, I'll give you one, okay.

891
00:43:15,560 --> 00:43:18,239
Speaker 1: And we were just there, even though we went toe

892
00:43:18,239 --> 00:43:19,240
Speaker 1: to toe with the Saints.

893
00:43:19,400 --> 00:43:21,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, when you think about that game going in on

894
00:43:21,640 --> 00:43:25,320
Speaker 4: a Monday night, it's the first game in that building

895
00:43:25,960 --> 00:43:29,480
Speaker 4: after the debacle and the NFC championship, and I'm telling you,

896
00:43:29,560 --> 00:43:31,640
Speaker 4: it was as loud as I have ever heard of

897
00:43:31,680 --> 00:43:33,920
Speaker 4: stadium and that you know, I, you know, I wear headphones.

898
00:43:33,960 --> 00:43:35,880
Speaker 4: Got to listen to you, Andre, and we can have

899
00:43:35,920 --> 00:43:37,960
Speaker 4: our you know, do our work. As soon as I

900
00:43:38,000 --> 00:43:39,879
Speaker 4: took them off after will Lutz. And by the way,

901
00:43:39,920 --> 00:43:41,560
Speaker 4: Andre was totally right about will Lutz.

902
00:43:41,719 --> 00:43:43,840
Speaker 1: Will Lutz. It's a fifty eight yarder and ianked my

903
00:43:43,880 --> 00:43:46,640
Speaker 1: headphones off. Just discuss it. I'm like, oh my god,

904
00:43:46,719 --> 00:43:48,960
Speaker 1: it is loud in here. That to me, that was

905
00:43:48,960 --> 00:43:49,560
Speaker 1: a tough one.

906
00:43:49,760 --> 00:43:52,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, that was That was a tough one against the Saints,

907
00:43:52,200 --> 00:43:56,200
Speaker 4: but we went toe to toe with those guys and should.

908
00:43:55,960 --> 00:43:56,640
Speaker 1: Have won a game.

909
00:43:57,200 --> 00:43:59,400
Speaker 4: If a nickel corner would have done his job, we

910
00:43:59,400 --> 00:44:00,279
Speaker 4: would have won that game.

911
00:44:00,800 --> 00:44:03,520
Speaker 1: But we won't talk about that. So that's probably the

912
00:44:03,600 --> 00:44:04,120
Speaker 1: toughest one.

913
00:44:04,160 --> 00:44:06,480
Speaker 4: I think the Chiefs was hard, you know, them coming

914
00:44:06,480 --> 00:44:08,880
Speaker 4: off a championship and then having to go back up

915
00:44:08,920 --> 00:44:13,120
Speaker 4: a code that was that was that was ugly. But

916
00:44:13,560 --> 00:44:17,560
Speaker 4: I feel like if anything that our that our guys

917
00:44:17,560 --> 00:44:20,040
Speaker 4: will go up there and they're gonna they're gonna compete

918
00:44:20,040 --> 00:44:22,200
Speaker 4: their ass off, they're gonna they're gonna play their guts

919
00:44:22,239 --> 00:44:26,000
Speaker 4: out and what you maybe hope and this might sound crazy,

920
00:44:26,040 --> 00:44:28,480
Speaker 4: but let the temperature get up a little bit.

921
00:44:28,760 --> 00:44:30,920
Speaker 1: Our guys are our guys can adapt to that.

922
00:44:31,760 --> 00:44:33,399
Speaker 4: See if they can handle the heat a little bit,

923
00:44:33,440 --> 00:44:35,879
Speaker 4: and you know, prob wear them out in the second half.

924
00:44:35,880 --> 00:44:37,280
Speaker 1: You never you never know what can happen.

925
00:44:38,120 --> 00:44:40,440
Speaker 4: There's a there's a lot, but I think the two

926
00:44:40,440 --> 00:44:42,960
Speaker 4: biggest things are you better tackle in the open field

927
00:44:43,480 --> 00:44:43,759
Speaker 4: and you.

928
00:44:43,760 --> 00:44:45,120
Speaker 1: Better block rokwand Smith.

929
00:44:45,360 --> 00:44:46,800
Speaker 4: Get those two things done, you're gonna be in the

930
00:44:46,800 --> 00:44:47,719
Speaker 4: ball game no matter what.

931
00:44:47,800 --> 00:44:49,759
