1
00:00:00,520 --> 00:00:02,400
Speaker 1: What is up? Everybody. Welcome to a Monday, a nation

2
00:00:02,440 --> 00:00:06,240
Speaker 1: of Texans. All Access feels like I just talked to

00:00:06,320 --> 00:00:08,640
Speaker 1: you and I did this morning, but then there was

4
00:00:08,640 --> 00:00:11,239
Speaker 1: another practice, so there's a lot of things to talk

5
00:00:11,280 --> 00:00:15,320
Speaker 1: about and a lot of talk coming out of that practice.

6
00:00:15,400 --> 00:00:19,439
Speaker 1: So we will have plenty of that for you. I'm

7
00:00:19,440 --> 00:00:22,560
Speaker 1: your host, John Harris, football analist and sideline reporter. We

Speaker 1: from t GiB who is I thought I could talk

11
00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:37,440
Speaker 1: no to. Sean Gibson can go now. He gives me

12
00:00:37,479 --> 00:00:39,239
Speaker 1: and Clint Stirner a run for our money. There's no

13
00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:41,520
Speaker 1: question about that. He can go for a while. That's good,

14
00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:44,479
Speaker 1: that's great on radio, and he's fantastic to listen to.

15
00:00:44,760 --> 00:00:49,879
Speaker 1: So we will have to Sean Gibson in the following segment.

16
00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:52,640
Speaker 1: And if you missed my breakdown of the wide receivers,

17
00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:55,760
Speaker 1: Marv Random and I went through each and every wide

18
00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:59,640
Speaker 1: receiver on this roster and I will have that breakdown

19
00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:03,480
Speaker 1: for you in the final segment. Let's kick off the

20
00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:05,720
Speaker 1: show with a little bit of sound. Guys went to

21
00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:08,319
Speaker 1: the podium today. And by guys, I mean well three

22
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:11,280
Speaker 1: of them. Three very important individuals to this team. One

23
00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:15,360
Speaker 1: coach and two players. But the biggest news, at least

24
00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:19,080
Speaker 1: early on in camp was the fact that Justin Reid

25
00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:24,360
Speaker 1: was back. And Bill O'Brien was pretty happy to have

26
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:27,920
Speaker 1: him back today. And he said this in reference to

27
00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:33,679
Speaker 1: Justin Reid, smart guy, talented player, works very hard, you know,

28
00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:37,039
Speaker 1: came back in really good shape. Unfortunately, you know, you know,

29
00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:39,080
Speaker 1: with the with the car accident. But he's back out

30
00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:42,520
Speaker 1: here today and you know he's in top form. I mean,

31
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:44,880
Speaker 1: he's a he's a good football player, important part of

32
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:48,640
Speaker 1: our football team and in all areas special teams too.

33
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:50,320
Speaker 1: So it's good to have him back out here. I

34
00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:52,040
Speaker 1: can't even tell you how good it was when I

35
00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:55,400
Speaker 1: looked over my shoulder and I saw him in jersey

36
00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:58,480
Speaker 1: with helmet risk taped up because the risk was an

37
00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:00,840
Speaker 1: issue at the end of the year. I was. I

38
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:06,560
Speaker 1: was thrilled, thrilled to see Justin Reid back on the

39
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:09,440
Speaker 1: field today. And he said as such, said, man, it

40
00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:12,519
Speaker 1: feels so good to be back on this field with

41
00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:14,720
Speaker 1: a fellas. Oh, man, it feels amazing to be back

42
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:16,600
Speaker 1: on the field with the fellas like out here having

43
00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:18,880
Speaker 1: fun with the guys. It will make a few plays

44
00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:20,680
Speaker 1: out on the field. It feels really good to be back.

45
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:22,679
Speaker 1: You know. The past week I felt like I was

46
00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:24,320
Speaker 1: just twiddling my thumb. So it feels good to be

47
00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:26,919
Speaker 1: on the field again. I could imagine. And look, I've

48
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:28,320
Speaker 1: been through a lot of people have been through that

49
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:30,280
Speaker 1: where they got to sit and watch your teammates are

50
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:33,320
Speaker 1: dealing with a kind of a nagging injury and they

51
00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:38,639
Speaker 1: just they just want to get back. And Justin said today, hey, look,

52
00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:41,400
Speaker 1: we're just being cautious after the car accident, making sure

53
00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:43,480
Speaker 1: that everything went okay. But I got back on the field.

54
00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:45,600
Speaker 1: Everything's all good. We took our time, We were very

55
00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:49,200
Speaker 1: precautious with the medical staff. We took all the right steps.

56
00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:51,839
Speaker 1: We didn't try and rush things at all. We wanted

57
00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:54,120
Speaker 1: to make sure that everything was done the right way,

58
00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:56,320
Speaker 1: and they did a phenomenal job doing that. I felt

59
00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:58,919
Speaker 1: one hundred percent, to be honest with you, three days ago,

60
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:01,680
Speaker 1: but we want to make sure everything was in line,

61
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:03,560
Speaker 1: was right that I was prepared to be back on

62
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:05,320
Speaker 1: the field, and they did an awesome job. Not commending

63
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:08,359
Speaker 1: them on handling their job the way that they did

64
00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:10,160
Speaker 1: to get me back on the field. Man, it's good

65
00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:13,640
Speaker 1: to hear that from Justin Reed. Now. We've talked about

66
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:15,600
Speaker 1: him being a first year player last year and there's

67
00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:17,920
Speaker 1: a lot to learn. I told that story that I

68
00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:20,760
Speaker 1: saw in NFL films and Anthony Mitget talking to the safeties.

69
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:22,520
Speaker 1: He was talking to Justin. He was talking are how

70
00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:24,600
Speaker 1: and last year's game against the Cultson. I don't know

71
00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:26,320
Speaker 1: if it's a playoff game or if it was the

72
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:28,960
Speaker 1: regular season game, but one of the games here and

73
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:32,040
Speaker 1: he said, look, y'all got to disguise better. You can't

74
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:34,440
Speaker 1: give it away. It's one of those little things that

75
00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:38,760
Speaker 1: you learn that you want to improve upon. And that's

76
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:41,080
Speaker 1: what Justin had talked about it. He said, Man, I'm

77
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:45,560
Speaker 1: ready to take this to a whole different level. I'm

78
00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:48,440
Speaker 1: expecting a huge jump from myself from year one a

79
00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:50,800
Speaker 1: year or two. I know the team is expecting a

80
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:53,640
Speaker 1: lot from me, and I plan on rising to that

81
00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:56,640
Speaker 1: standard and you know, playing to it. If he does,

82
00:03:57,000 --> 00:04:00,320
Speaker 1: the secondary can be very very good. Now. One of

83
00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:03,200
Speaker 1: the guys that he is going to play next to,

84
00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:05,160
Speaker 1: in fact, the guy he is going to play next

85
00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:07,400
Speaker 1: to you is the guest I mentioned we will have

86
00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:11,520
Speaker 1: in the next segment, that is to Sean Gibson. And

87
00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:14,240
Speaker 1: the more I thought about this safety duel of Justin

88
00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:16,440
Speaker 1: Reid and to Sean Gibson, the more excited that I

89
00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:18,760
Speaker 1: actually get about it. And Jay Reid talked about that

90
00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:22,480
Speaker 1: combination play next to Sean Gibson, the wily veteran now

91
00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:27,039
Speaker 1: with the Texans gives my guy. Man. He's been a

92
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:30,200
Speaker 1: phenomenal teammate and mentor just teached me. We talked ball

93
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:32,720
Speaker 1: all the time, about press coverage, what he's learned from

94
00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:35,839
Speaker 1: the teams he's been on with Cleveland and the Jaguars,

95
00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:38,240
Speaker 1: and just the experience he has. I mean, we're very

96
00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:41,160
Speaker 1: similar players. We get along very well, and we have

97
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:44,240
Speaker 1: great communication on the field. We're always talking ball. So

98
00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:46,800
Speaker 1: I'm really excited to have him as a teammate. You

99
00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:49,560
Speaker 1: hear that word communication a lot, and the safeties had

100
00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:52,440
Speaker 1: better know they had better be in good communication with

101
00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:55,240
Speaker 1: one another. And the better you get at it, the

102
00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:58,640
Speaker 1: less words you have to say. Sometimes it's just a look,

103
00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:02,159
Speaker 1: sometimes it's a little hand signal. I mean, something simple.

104
00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:06,760
Speaker 1: That's what you've got to have amongst your secondary Hey,

105
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:10,040
Speaker 1: have you communicated properly with the guys in front of you.

106
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:13,039
Speaker 1: Have you communicated with the corners? Do they know with

107
00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:16,160
Speaker 1: your nickel? If the nicol is in that communication's got

108
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:20,320
Speaker 1: to be on point. It's got to be on point. Now.

109
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:24,520
Speaker 1: This offseason, Justin has done a lot of different things,

110
00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:26,280
Speaker 1: and he did a lot of different things, but one

111
00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:27,960
Speaker 1: of the things that he said was he wanted to

112
00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:31,040
Speaker 1: spend a lot of time improving his craft. And I

113
00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:35,839
Speaker 1: love those words. Improving his craft, getting better at what

114
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:38,600
Speaker 1: it is that he has to do every single Sunday

115
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:40,720
Speaker 1: or Thursday or Monday or whenever the game is going

116
00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:44,040
Speaker 1: to be. But Justin talked a good while about how

117
00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:47,560
Speaker 1: he would improve and what he spent time on this offseason.

118
00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:51,160
Speaker 1: That's spent a lot of time with Ryan Clark, He's

119
00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:53,480
Speaker 1: one of my guys, former safety for the Steelers, thirteen

120
00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:56,400
Speaker 1: years in the league. Was training with guys like you know,

121
00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:59,480
Speaker 1: Landon Collins and Schaga Everett. There's really like fourteen of

122
00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:01,560
Speaker 1: us over in Arizona. We spent a lot of time

123
00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:04,520
Speaker 1: on footwork. We did a film review. Personally, I had

124
00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:07,320
Speaker 1: a lot of conversations with my older brother, Eric Reid,

125
00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:09,719
Speaker 1: and we just talked ball, and you know, he's actually

126
00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:11,719
Speaker 1: happens to be in the conference of the teams that

127
00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:13,279
Speaker 1: we're playing for the games with, so I get to

128
00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:16,040
Speaker 1: talk ball with him about the team's upcoming on our schedule,

129
00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:19,680
Speaker 1: like New Orleans, Atlanta, Carolina themselves in Tampa. So we've

130
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:22,120
Speaker 1: really just been diving in on the mental side of

131
00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:25,599
Speaker 1: the game, more handling myself physically, and my big focus

132
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:27,400
Speaker 1: for the all season was really my legs because I

133
00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:29,719
Speaker 1: want to be even more explosive out of my breaks

134
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:32,360
Speaker 1: in order to cover that half yard. Because we all

135
00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:34,040
Speaker 1: know football is a game of inches. You know, those

136
00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:35,760
Speaker 1: inches make a difference. So I want to be able

137
00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:37,400
Speaker 1: to put myself in the right position to make plays.

138
00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:40,840
Speaker 1: That's he said it dead on. It is a game

139
00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:42,640
Speaker 1: of inches. And I've talked about this with Mark and

140
00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:45,080
Speaker 1: with Andrea a lot. We talked about this sometimes on

141
00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:48,760
Speaker 1: a plane just before a game. This game is so

142
00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:52,240
Speaker 1: everybody's so close. I mean, Bill a Brant says all

143
00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:53,720
Speaker 1: the time, Hey, it's an eight eight league. It's eight

144
00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:58,600
Speaker 1: and eight league. Sometimes what separates it or just small

145
00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:02,120
Speaker 1: so small tales. I mean inch here, you know, one

146
00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:04,440
Speaker 1: Rep Bear, I mean, it's such small detail. And if

147
00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:07,839
Speaker 1: you can get better at mastering those things as a

148
00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:10,760
Speaker 1: young player, as Justin is, then you've got a really

149
00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:14,600
Speaker 1: good opportunity of doing some great things in this league

150
00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:17,160
Speaker 1: for a very long time. So let's go back to

151
00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:22,160
Speaker 1: Bill O'Brien. He had plenty to say on what was

152
00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:26,000
Speaker 1: today today, Monday, Holy smokes, the days are all running together.

153
00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:30,080
Speaker 1: We talked about Justin Reid and one of the guys

154
00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:33,480
Speaker 1: in the secondary at corner that's gonna be key, is

155
00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:37,400
Speaker 1: gonna be rookie Lonnie Johnson. Now, Lonnie missed about half

156
00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:39,800
Speaker 1: of yesterday's practice getting dinged up, and then he missed

157
00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:45,680
Speaker 1: practiced today. Coach O'Brien was asked about any update on

158
00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:48,440
Speaker 1: Lonnie Johnson that maybe the fans could see him in

159
00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:49,800
Speaker 1: a couple of days when the team gets off and

160
00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:52,120
Speaker 1: off day. We took him in and you know, I

161
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:55,400
Speaker 1: think he's doing all right. He should be. I would

162
00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:58,360
Speaker 1: anticipate him being back out here very soon. That is

163
00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:03,880
Speaker 1: great news. Lonnie has been extremely competitive in these drills,

164
00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:06,520
Speaker 1: team drills, individual drills, one on one drills. I mean,

165
00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:09,200
Speaker 1: you name it. He has been ultra competitive and I

166
00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:13,640
Speaker 1: don't want to see that curtailed because he gets dinged

167
00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:15,880
Speaker 1: up and look, he had a little something he was

168
00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:19,760
Speaker 1: dealing with OTA's mini camps. Something came up yesterday. Hopefully,

169
00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:22,120
Speaker 1: you know, Dare two gives him some rest and get

170
00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:25,400
Speaker 1: back out there on Wednesday when the team gets back

171
00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:27,840
Speaker 1: out for practice. And then you guys, the fans can

172
00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:33,600
Speaker 1: see him on Thursday because he is a specimen. Now,

173
00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:37,560
Speaker 1: I mentioned that tomorrow is going to be in off day,

174
00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:42,160
Speaker 1: but it's an off day for the players. It is

175
00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:45,520
Speaker 1: not an off day for the coaches, the staff and

176
00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:48,440
Speaker 1: everybody else. And Coach said, plenty of work going on.

177
00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:50,600
Speaker 1: It's a big day tomorrow for the coaching staff and

178
00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:52,800
Speaker 1: then all the all the departments. You know, we all

179
00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:54,840
Speaker 1: get together and talk about where we're at right now.

180
00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:58,040
Speaker 1: Everybody from the training room to the scouting staff to

181
00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:01,360
Speaker 1: equipment room. We all will have meetings during the day

182
00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:04,400
Speaker 1: and there's a lot of great communication in the organization

183
00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:06,600
Speaker 1: going on. It's awesome. And then with the players, it'll

184
00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:08,600
Speaker 1: be a big rest day or a rehab day, get

185
00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:11,640
Speaker 1: caught up on some film, come on in and you know,

186
00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:14,760
Speaker 1: obviously they don't have to be in here, but they

187
00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:17,920
Speaker 1: will open a weight room for a region a deal

188
00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:19,480
Speaker 1: and all those types of things. So it's a it's

189
00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:21,800
Speaker 1: a it's a good day for everybody. I like that

190
00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:24,319
Speaker 1: most people talk about a day off, a day off,

191
00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:27,720
Speaker 1: a day off it is from practice. But coach just

192
00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:31,600
Speaker 1: outlined it. There there's so much that's going on for people.

193
00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:33,880
Speaker 1: For the players even to come in like say get

194
00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:36,679
Speaker 1: a lift, Well watch the film, but you do without

195
00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:38,280
Speaker 1: the constrain up, Hey, I gotta go to practice, I

196
00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:41,360
Speaker 1: gotta get ticked up. What it's It's pretty refreshing as

197
00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:42,800
Speaker 1: a player to have that. And I will say for

198
00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:45,200
Speaker 1: the coaches too, it was like this when when we

199
00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:48,280
Speaker 1: were teachers, like an in service day, Like yeah, it

200
00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:51,000
Speaker 1: wasn't the greatest, but you didn't have to get up

201
00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:54,800
Speaker 1: in front of how many ever kids teenagers that day.

202
00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:57,040
Speaker 1: You know, you could just be amongst your peers and

203
00:09:57,080 --> 00:09:59,360
Speaker 1: have an in service and it was just different. And

204
00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:01,680
Speaker 1: so just took a little bit of stress off your plate.

205
00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:04,400
Speaker 1: And I think that's really what an off day we'll do. Now.

206
00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:08,200
Speaker 1: I've written a number of different things about the Texas quarterbacks,

207
00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:10,800
Speaker 1: and look, we see DeShawn. We know Deshaun is a

208
00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:14,400
Speaker 1: strass during his drink. He has been unbelievable as far

209
00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:18,079
Speaker 1: in camp, but his backup and the backup with this team,

210
00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:22,480
Speaker 1: AJ McCarron has been outstanding, and Bill O'Briant gave him

211
00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:26,160
Speaker 1: some props talking about AJ's passion for the game. Sometimes

212
00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:27,760
Speaker 1: you gotta shoot away because you got to go to

213
00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:30,000
Speaker 1: the meetings because he's always wanting to talk about the

214
00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:33,240
Speaker 1: play or the scheme or he just loves football. You

215
00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:35,719
Speaker 1: can see why, uh he won in college and you

216
00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:37,920
Speaker 1: can see why when he's gone in there in the NFL,

217
00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:41,720
Speaker 1: he's had some success. He's gotten better. I think his arm,

218
00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:47,080
Speaker 1: you know, accuracy, and you know, the more more more

219
00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:49,560
Speaker 1: times he gets out there throwing the football, it's you

220
00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:50,959
Speaker 1: can see improvement there. And I thought he had a

221
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:52,760
Speaker 1: pretty good day to day. I think he's had a

222
00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:55,199
Speaker 1: few pretty good days. Not that I'm in disagreement of coach.

223
00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:57,600
Speaker 1: I thought he was good today. He dropped dimes. There

224
00:10:57,600 --> 00:10:59,560
Speaker 1: are a couple throws a day from the Shawn Watson

225
00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:03,320
Speaker 1: and AJ mcarroen. I'm like, WHOA, Wow, that was really good.

226
00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:06,400
Speaker 1: And look, I'll say this and maybe I don't. I

227
00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:12,360
Speaker 1: don't even have to. AJ right now is leaps and

228
00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:15,520
Speaker 1: bows beyond guys that started for this team the last

229
00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:19,240
Speaker 1: eight to ten years. Aj mccarroon is as good a

230
00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:22,160
Speaker 1: backup as you can find, and I don't want anything

231
00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:24,560
Speaker 1: to happen with Deshaun Watson, but they gotta turn them

232
00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:26,640
Speaker 1: all over the number two and give it to him.

233
00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:29,240
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna I'm not gonna cry my beer. I'll

234
00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:31,960
Speaker 1: cry my beer because Deshaun would be banged up or whatever.

235
00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:35,800
Speaker 1: But AJ's gonna end up leading the offense. I hope

236
00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:40,520
Speaker 1: we don't see him, but he has been slinging it

237
00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:43,800
Speaker 1: and looking pretty good and looking very very good. One

238
00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:50,080
Speaker 1: guy who had a tremendous day on Sunday was tight

239
00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:51,880
Speaker 1: end Jord Nakins. We'll happen one on one he did

240
00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:54,640
Speaker 1: with dpcued later in the week, but coach Bryan was

241
00:11:54,679 --> 00:11:58,960
Speaker 1: asked how Jordan handling a little bit more responsibility has

242
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:01,160
Speaker 1: rufe stood out to him because a couple of tight

243
00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:03,319
Speaker 1: ends are down, He's had to take on a lot more.

244
00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:05,760
Speaker 1: He likes how Jordan Nakins has handled that, put a

245
00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:08,160
Speaker 1: lot on his plate special teams and on offense, and

246
00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:11,200
Speaker 1: came back in really good shape. You know these guys,

247
00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:13,360
Speaker 1: you know you can tell in training camp they make

248
00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:15,439
Speaker 1: a big jump from their first year to their second year,

249
00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:18,040
Speaker 1: and seems like he has a good grasp of what

250
00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:20,440
Speaker 1: we're doing. And it's just all about consistency with Jordan,

251
00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:23,080
Speaker 1: just teaching every day, trying to you know, show up

252
00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:26,320
Speaker 1: and try to get better. No question. But Sunday, man,

253
00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:30,000
Speaker 1: I'm telling you, holy smokes, was he good Sunday? I mean,

254
00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:34,000
Speaker 1: really really good Sunday. All right, one more player went

255
00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:37,320
Speaker 1: to the podium, the only offensive player to register a

256
00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:43,680
Speaker 1: ninety nine on Madden twenty, and that is DeAndre Hopkins. Now,

257
00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:46,200
Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you this quick, little quick story before

258
00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:49,320
Speaker 1: we hear from Hop. I was standing there were two

259
00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:53,960
Speaker 1: players back to back place. Hop was out wide near me.

260
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:58,160
Speaker 1: I was standing on the offensive sideline, and Deshaun turned

261
00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:02,080
Speaker 1: to throw a ball directly like a smoke screen, and

262
00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:04,160
Speaker 1: it was coming right. It would have come right at me.

263
00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:06,199
Speaker 1: It would have skipped off the concrete or off the grass.

264
00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:07,800
Speaker 1: It would have hit me like right in a chest.

265
00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:09,880
Speaker 1: This ball is coming on a direct line, So i

266
00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:12,360
Speaker 1: can see the point of the ball coming right at me,

267
00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:14,640
Speaker 1: and I'm like, there's no way because I can see

268
00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:17,800
Speaker 1: where Hop is and I could see what Hop reaches

269
00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:21,959
Speaker 1: out and just like a superhero, stopping a bullet. That's

270
00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:24,960
Speaker 1: how I put it in. Hair says. He pause it

271
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:29,679
Speaker 1: with his right hand, reels it in and then runs forward.

272
00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:32,200
Speaker 1: Now I didn't get much in that play. The very

273
00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:37,800
Speaker 1: next play he runs looked like corner out, got behind

274
00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:40,680
Speaker 1: the corner, got in front of the safety, and Sean

275
00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:43,720
Speaker 1: through a dime. I mean he put it right on

276
00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:47,520
Speaker 1: the money. Hop goes up, gets it to tap bang

277
00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:55,160
Speaker 1: bang touchdown. It was brilliant, I mean absolutely brilliant. And

278
00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:59,920
Speaker 1: he was just he's been unbelievable. And he said after practice,

279
00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:05,480
Speaker 1: our wide receiver trio can be very very dangerous. I

280
00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:07,520
Speaker 1: feel like we show what we can do last year together,

281
00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:12,720
Speaker 1: even when we were together. So real good, real good, Yeah,

282
00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:15,760
Speaker 1: real real good. Now, one guy that showed a little

283
00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:19,320
Speaker 1: bit of what he could do was Vincent Smith. Hop

284
00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:22,960
Speaker 1: being the vet that he is, knowing everything about everybody,

285
00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:25,880
Speaker 1: gave his little scuttering reporting Vincent Smith, I've seen him

286
00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:29,080
Speaker 1: study anymore, asking more questions, knowing that he's gonna be

287
00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:32,640
Speaker 1: out there making plays like against Philadelphia. Man, that was

288
00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:36,440
Speaker 1: such a huge play. Oh my goodness, that was such

289
00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:39,640
Speaker 1: a huge play. Now, I just mentioned coming into this segment,

290
00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:41,760
Speaker 1: Hop had a ninety nine. He is the only offensive

291
00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:43,840
Speaker 1: player in the league to be given a ninety nine

292
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:47,560
Speaker 1: rating rating on Madden the NFL top one hundreds out.

293
00:14:47,560 --> 00:14:50,320
Speaker 1: He should be in the top ten. I think if

294
00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:52,880
Speaker 1: he's not, it's criminal. I think he should be in

295
00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:56,120
Speaker 1: the top five. But look, that's not me putting together

296
00:14:56,120 --> 00:15:00,240
Speaker 1: the list. But he said, no, worry about the tea team.

297
00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:03,720
Speaker 1: That's what I'm worried about, team success, not individual stuff.

298
00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:06,800
Speaker 1: I feel like everybody who played football should should have

299
00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:10,160
Speaker 1: that as their goal, to win the championship. If you don't,

300
00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:12,600
Speaker 1: you know, don't need to come into practice. So I

301
00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:14,760
Speaker 1: feel like that's mine said a very football player, not

302
00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:18,480
Speaker 1: just mine, and I agree. He's got it dead on though,

303
00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:20,720
Speaker 1: But that's the way Hopp has always been. He gets

304
00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:23,720
Speaker 1: excited a lot of times for Will's touchdowns over his,

305
00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:27,800
Speaker 1: like he gets excited for Kiki scoring instead of him.

306
00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:30,880
Speaker 1: He's unbelievable the catches he can make. I'm telling Hi,

307
00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:33,280
Speaker 1: there's been some in training camp. I just I, Oh,

308
00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:36,520
Speaker 1: my goodness. But his point about the wide receiver crew,

309
00:15:36,920 --> 00:15:42,200
Speaker 1: this group can be absolutely and to bring it all back,

310
00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:45,000
Speaker 1: Justin Reid gets to face Justin Reid. Obviously, Justin on

311
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:46,840
Speaker 1: the other side of the ball in the secondary. But hey,

312
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:50,360
Speaker 1: these guys know they get it on the offensive side.

313
00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:53,600
Speaker 1: They understand how important JJ Watt and the defensive players are.

314
00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:57,240
Speaker 1: And DeAndre Hopkins talked about how much Justin Reid makes

315
00:15:57,360 --> 00:15:59,840
Speaker 1: this defense better. He's doing a good job making plays.

316
00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:01,600
Speaker 1: That's the only thing we can ask on him to do.

317
00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:04,080
Speaker 1: That's what he's doing, and he makes his defense a

318
00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:06,120
Speaker 1: whole heck of a lot better. So there you go,

319
00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:09,760
Speaker 1: Justin Reid, DeAndre Hopkins, and a little Bill O'Brien for you.

320
00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:12,320
Speaker 1: We get back. We're gonna staying at secondary. The running

321
00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:14,720
Speaker 1: mate of Justin Reid at safety is to Shaun Gibson.

322
00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:16,720
Speaker 1: He did a little one on one with dpcity. We'll

323
00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:18,360
Speaker 1: have that for you next right here in Texas All

324
00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:23,480
Speaker 1: Access Day number five a training camp today Monday is

325
00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:26,160
Speaker 1: in books. Welcome back to a Monday edition of Texas

326
00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:29,120
Speaker 1: All Access from the Honday Texans Radio Studio. I am

327
00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:32,080
Speaker 1: your host, John Harris. I'm trying to remember it. I

328
00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:34,080
Speaker 1: start to show saying Monday. I sure hope I did.

329
00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:36,200
Speaker 1: Because the days have all run together for some reason,

330
00:16:36,280 --> 00:16:37,760
Speaker 1: they keep thinking it's Wednesday. I don't know if it's

331
00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:41,080
Speaker 1: because I'm doing radio, or we had practice over the weekend.

332
00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:43,080
Speaker 1: I don't know. They're all kind of running together for

333
00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:46,840
Speaker 1: some reason. But it is Monday, and that means day

334
00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:50,920
Speaker 1: off for the players on the practice field Tomorrow. They're

335
00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:54,800
Speaker 1: back on Wednesday and then Thursday. Now that the team

336
00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:57,880
Speaker 1: will be acclimated to fans, we'll get an opportunity to

337
00:16:57,920 --> 00:17:00,360
Speaker 1: come out of the Houston Methis Training Center and see

338
00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:03,720
Speaker 1: this group of players. And I'm really excited for the

339
00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:06,399
Speaker 1: fans to see them first eyes, first time to have

340
00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:09,800
Speaker 1: eyes on Tymas Howard, Max Sharping, Lane Johnson Junior, the rookies,

341
00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:12,960
Speaker 1: to see some of the vets as well, and one

342
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:16,280
Speaker 1: of those vets to Sean Gibson, number thirty nine. The

343
00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:19,760
Speaker 1: fans have seen him the last two years playing for

344
00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:25,199
Speaker 1: the Jacksonville Jaguars. Twenty seventeen brutal game. I'm telling you

345
00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:27,080
Speaker 1: te gap in that entirety. If they were looking to

346
00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:31,600
Speaker 1: knock everybody out that game, everybody out. We got a

347
00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:33,760
Speaker 1: little bit of revenge of twenty eighteen win in both games,

348
00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:37,120
Speaker 1: including week seventeen when Sean was here. Surely they after

349
00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:40,439
Speaker 1: the Jaguars had to make a move at quarterback and

350
00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:41,760
Speaker 1: that's how it works in this league. They had to

351
00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:43,840
Speaker 1: make a move at quarterback. They wouldn't pay Nick Foles

352
00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:46,240
Speaker 1: a lot of money, a lot of money that they

353
00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:48,119
Speaker 1: really didn't have, so they had to go find it

354
00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:52,200
Speaker 1: and they made to Shawn a cap casualty. Sometimes cap

355
00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:56,560
Speaker 1: casualties ended up working out very well for the team

356
00:17:56,560 --> 00:17:59,920
Speaker 1: that finds him. Well, we found him into Sean Gibson

357
00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:03,400
Speaker 1: came here to Houston, and I'm thrilled he didn't want

358
00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:05,480
Speaker 1: to walk with Deep City, who talked about any number

359
00:18:05,560 --> 00:18:08,479
Speaker 1: of things. T gab can go excited to hear from

360
00:18:08,520 --> 00:18:11,480
Speaker 1: him with Deep joining me. Here s Sean Gibson on

361
00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:14,199
Speaker 1: the Xfinity one on one. To Sean, I've seen you

362
00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:16,160
Speaker 1: a lot this offseason, haven't had a chance to really

363
00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:18,040
Speaker 1: catch up with you. First of all, how has your

364
00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:20,600
Speaker 1: off season been? Off season was great? Just stay home

365
00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:22,800
Speaker 1: in Dallas like everybody. No, man, I'm right up the road,

366
00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:25,560
Speaker 1: and you know, just offseason was just an awesome time.

367
00:18:25,640 --> 00:18:28,679
Speaker 1: I just really was bobing, enjoying my family and just

368
00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:30,560
Speaker 1: enjoying this time. Man. It's kind of like that little

369
00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:33,320
Speaker 1: the break is kind of it's lone, but it's not

370
00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:35,760
Speaker 1: long enough, you know, So obviously, that's when you're hone

371
00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:38,119
Speaker 1: in on football. Man. Everything is football. Preparing for this

372
00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:40,320
Speaker 1: upcoming season. We got new goals and things like that,

373
00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:43,080
Speaker 1: So just getting just getting prepared, man, and just excited

374
00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:44,919
Speaker 1: just being home around my family in France. I know

375
00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:46,560
Speaker 1: you've talked about how excited you are to be back

376
00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:49,359
Speaker 1: in Texas training camps back in Houston this year. What's

377
00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:51,679
Speaker 1: training camp been like for you? It seems like the

378
00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:54,639
Speaker 1: entire off season we talked about chemistry in the secondary,

379
00:18:54,680 --> 00:18:56,440
Speaker 1: but you guys are really clicking out here. How do

380
00:18:56,480 --> 00:18:58,479
Speaker 1: you feel that's gone so far? Oh, it's been awesome.

381
00:18:58,520 --> 00:19:00,640
Speaker 1: I think that the biggest thing is got to learn

382
00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:02,800
Speaker 1: each other in offseason. We learned each other in offseason.

383
00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:05,000
Speaker 1: Guys learned me. I learned the guys who I'm playing

384
00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:07,040
Speaker 1: next too, And I think that that part was just big.

385
00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:10,520
Speaker 1: It was influential on us growing together as men. And

386
00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:12,680
Speaker 1: the thing about it, man, is one thing that's for

387
00:19:12,760 --> 00:19:15,560
Speaker 1: certain around here is that it's bigger than just on

388
00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:18,080
Speaker 1: the football's field between the white lines. Guys is connecting

389
00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:20,400
Speaker 1: with each other outside. Guys are throwing the events, Guys

390
00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:22,440
Speaker 1: are showing up and supporting, and that's just cool. That's

391
00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:24,240
Speaker 1: the type of comaraderie you need. And I think that

392
00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:26,520
Speaker 1: beyond that, we're just vibing together. And I think that

393
00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:28,320
Speaker 1: it's starting to show we getting comfortable with each other.

394
00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:30,600
Speaker 1: And that's the main thing. When you understand, you know

395
00:19:30,840 --> 00:19:32,359
Speaker 1: what you're getting to the guy to the left of you,

396
00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:34,280
Speaker 1: to the right of you. That's a comfort and thing.

397
00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:35,960
Speaker 1: And I think that guys had to kind of learn

398
00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:39,240
Speaker 1: each other's game and skill sets. Everybody's skill set is different,

399
00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:41,159
Speaker 1: and we just mess shore where back there, man, And

400
00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:43,480
Speaker 1: it's excite. We got a lot of different personality. We

401
00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:45,960
Speaker 1: got young guys, we got really old guys, man, and

402
00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:48,920
Speaker 1: you know, we just enjoying and vibing together, man, and

403
00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:51,120
Speaker 1: trying to learn the defense and growing together. Yeah, you're new,

404
00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:53,440
Speaker 1: You're no stranger to the game of the NFL. You've

405
00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:54,720
Speaker 1: been in the league a number of year years. Are

406
00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:57,120
Speaker 1: veteran yourself, and you've seen this team a lot of times,

407
00:19:57,240 --> 00:19:59,479
Speaker 1: especially during your time with Jacksonville. What's it like now

408
00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:02,679
Speaker 1: to actually face Deshaun Watson every single day in practice?

409
00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:03,960
Speaker 1: You know that was the biggest thing. Man. I actually

410
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:05,840
Speaker 1: told my brothers. We're talking about it over the offseason,

411
00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:09,040
Speaker 1: and I said, playing against him, you know you're talk

412
00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:12,720
Speaker 1: to to, you know, expose a guy's weaknesses and things

413
00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:14,360
Speaker 1: like that. But when you're going against him every day,

414
00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:16,360
Speaker 1: you start noticing his strengths. And I had to look

415
00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:18,720
Speaker 1: back and say, dang, man, this dude, this dude, don't

416
00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:20,240
Speaker 1: go out of weakness. He can hurt you with his feet,

417
00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:22,000
Speaker 1: he can hurt you his arm. And the thing about

418
00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:24,400
Speaker 1: it now was just he's so confident back there right now.

419
00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:26,040
Speaker 1: And the biggest thing that I can say and I

420
00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:28,520
Speaker 1: can take away from him is that, beyond anything else,

421
00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:30,360
Speaker 1: I'm glad that I'm playing with him and out against him.

422
00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:32,720
Speaker 1: No more so having a guy like that while I'm

423
00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:34,760
Speaker 1: sitting on the sideline drinking my gay rade, man, I

424
00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:37,200
Speaker 1: knowing that seven points man is gonna be on the

425
00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:39,200
Speaker 1: board anytime now. So you know, I could sit back,

426
00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:41,359
Speaker 1: kick my feet up and say, hey, if you don't

427
00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:43,560
Speaker 1: score seven points, I'm gonna be disappointed. That's how excited

428
00:20:43,560 --> 00:20:45,359
Speaker 1: I am to have a guy like that on my

429
00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:48,160
Speaker 1: side and going against him. You notice that, man, this

430
00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:50,359
Speaker 1: guy right here, it's a trapsy that they don't mention

431
00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:52,919
Speaker 1: him and these MVP talks. Man, because seeing what I

432
00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:54,840
Speaker 1: see now, I mean, and I'm not saying this because

433
00:20:54,880 --> 00:20:56,720
Speaker 1: he's my quarterback, but I'm saying it because I truly

434
00:20:56,720 --> 00:20:59,720
Speaker 1: respect this game. I have for since he came into

435
00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:01,680
Speaker 1: the league. But now you see it firsthand day to day.

436
00:21:02,359 --> 00:21:03,720
Speaker 1: You know, you get to learn guys like that and

437
00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:05,960
Speaker 1: you start seeing like, men, it's guys, he's gonna have

438
00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:07,840
Speaker 1: a bad day. I mean, I think the any quarterback

439
00:21:07,840 --> 00:21:09,800
Speaker 1: will any guy in this league do, but just the

440
00:21:09,800 --> 00:21:11,240
Speaker 1: things that he can do in a day in a

441
00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:13,879
Speaker 1: day out, based the consistency, I mean, it's phenomenal. Man.

442
00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:15,439
Speaker 1: You gotta tip your head off to a guy like that.

443
00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:17,080
Speaker 1: He'd come in, he humbled, and he do his job

444
00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:20,560
Speaker 1: and I respect that. Yeah, Deshaun Watson phenomenal. His targets

445
00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:23,160
Speaker 1: out of here also, it's pretty phenomenal. You came here

446
00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:25,520
Speaker 1: and I remember you saying that you know your strength

447
00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:27,360
Speaker 1: is covering tight ends, and that's a big reason why

448
00:21:27,359 --> 00:21:29,239
Speaker 1: the Texans brought you here. But you're getting a lot

449
00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:30,960
Speaker 1: of work in against these tight ends. You a big

450
00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:33,399
Speaker 1: group of guys. What does that challenge like facing the

451
00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:36,840
Speaker 1: guys like Jordan Thomas, Jordan Aikins, Darren Fells. Yeah, you

452
00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:38,199
Speaker 1: know that was one of the things when I had

453
00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:40,000
Speaker 1: my pressure, man, I said, Man, these guys are getting

454
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:42,439
Speaker 1: bigger and faster. I look at I didn't realize I

455
00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:45,399
Speaker 1: played against Jordan Thomas, but seeing him like outside his

456
00:21:45,560 --> 00:21:48,200
Speaker 1: past included is just like, dude, as a huge human being. Man,

457
00:21:48,359 --> 00:21:50,439
Speaker 1: he should have played basketball. You got a guy like Fails.

458
00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:52,880
Speaker 1: These guys are all big human beings and he's using

459
00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:55,119
Speaker 1: those guys and I think that, Like I told, man,

460
00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:57,040
Speaker 1: I talked to Jordan Thomas off the field every day

461
00:21:57,040 --> 00:21:58,679
Speaker 1: and I trying to tell him tools and things to

462
00:21:58,720 --> 00:22:00,720
Speaker 1: get better, like look, this is what I'm doing, and

463
00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:02,680
Speaker 1: this is what I see against you. And he's starting

464
00:22:02,680 --> 00:22:04,800
Speaker 1: to grow, man, and he's getting better. He caught two

465
00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:08,720
Speaker 1: passes on me one on once today, which is unacceptable, unacceptable.

466
00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:10,919
Speaker 1: So you we got to hear about that. But you

467
00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:12,440
Speaker 1: know things like that, man, when I see in the

468
00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:14,840
Speaker 1: growth from when I first got here and just he's

469
00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:17,080
Speaker 1: telling me, hey, how are you pressing me like this?

470
00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:19,200
Speaker 1: What are you seeing it? To hear him accept this

471
00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:21,159
Speaker 1: coaching and I'm giving him, I mean, because like I

472
00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:22,639
Speaker 1: told him, when it comes to a man and man, man,

473
00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:24,120
Speaker 1: they don't get no better than me. So you get

474
00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:26,119
Speaker 1: this tool right here every day and for him to

475
00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:28,760
Speaker 1: come in here and grow him and acting those guys, man,

476
00:22:28,760 --> 00:22:30,560
Speaker 1: those guys are just progressing in a little short time

477
00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:32,520
Speaker 1: that I've been knowing him. They're progressive, man, So I'm

478
00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:34,720
Speaker 1: excited to see what they're gonna go against other safeties

479
00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:37,959
Speaker 1: that's not thirty nine. So I'm excited about those guys. Man.

480
00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:41,200
Speaker 1: Those guys are making me better because those guys are young, agile, athletic,

481
00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:43,119
Speaker 1: and those guys are go getters. Man. And at the

482
00:22:43,119 --> 00:22:44,639
Speaker 1: same time, it's kind of like that old saying are

483
00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:46,879
Speaker 1: shopper arm and that's what we're doing out here, man.

484
00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:48,320
Speaker 1: And I want to help those guys get better. Man.

485
00:22:48,359 --> 00:22:50,199
Speaker 1: I want to help those guys achieve everything. And those

486
00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:51,840
Speaker 1: guys are gonna make me better as well. How about

487
00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:55,240
Speaker 1: this defensive front? JJ Watt and these guys making you better?

488
00:22:55,320 --> 00:22:58,480
Speaker 1: Deshaun said yesterday, he's annoying when he's out there. This

489
00:22:58,560 --> 00:23:00,840
Speaker 1: defense is annoying when JJ wat there. How much does

490
00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:03,040
Speaker 1: that help where you guys do on the back? Oh man,

491
00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:05,359
Speaker 1: there were so many plays that you look back and

492
00:23:05,440 --> 00:23:09,159
Speaker 1: you say, I mean ninety nine and fifty nine and

493
00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:11,120
Speaker 1: ninety one. Those guys are back there all the time,

494
00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:13,120
Speaker 1: and it's just like it might look like a completion,

495
00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:15,480
Speaker 1: but when the pads on and the bullets alive, ninety

496
00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:18,040
Speaker 1: nine probably gonna take them down and you know five

497
00:23:18,160 --> 00:23:19,679
Speaker 1: nine gonna get them to him. And I think that

498
00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:22,520
Speaker 1: when you have that type of presence up there, and

499
00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:25,320
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean, it's insane. And we're doing this

500
00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:26,960
Speaker 1: without the pads on right now, so I measure when

501
00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:29,400
Speaker 1: the pads are coming, and you know, you just sit

502
00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:31,040
Speaker 1: back and you gotta be in all of those guys,

503
00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:33,480
Speaker 1: especially that D line. I mean, it's some true dogs

504
00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:36,080
Speaker 1: down there right now, and I'm excited to play with that.

505
00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:38,879
Speaker 1: I'm excited. Man. You start realizing, like how many times

506
00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:41,120
Speaker 1: that a defensive line can affect the game. A guy

507
00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:43,520
Speaker 1: might be beat, but ninety nine is being down your back.

508
00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:45,200
Speaker 1: You might not have time to see that big post

509
00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:46,679
Speaker 1: down the middle, or you might not have time to

510
00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:49,040
Speaker 1: go through all your progressions. And that's just so so

511
00:23:49,119 --> 00:23:51,080
Speaker 1: beneficial for us on the back end. And the only

512
00:23:51,080 --> 00:23:53,000
Speaker 1: thing we gotta do is continue to step up progress

513
00:23:53,240 --> 00:23:55,040
Speaker 1: get to know each other because we know the front

514
00:23:55,040 --> 00:23:57,000
Speaker 1: seven is gonna do their thing, and it's exciting to

515
00:23:57,040 --> 00:23:58,879
Speaker 1: have some guys like that playing with guys like that man,

516
00:23:58,920 --> 00:24:00,679
Speaker 1: and I'm blessed to be a part of soganization. I

517
00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:03,199
Speaker 1: feel like this is your time to shine. You were undrafted,

518
00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:05,520
Speaker 1: you've made your way under the roster and a big

519
00:24:05,600 --> 00:24:07,439
Speaker 1: part of every single team that you've been a part of.

520
00:24:07,640 --> 00:24:09,720
Speaker 1: So what's your biggest piece of advice to guys that

521
00:24:09,760 --> 00:24:11,399
Speaker 1: are trying to make the team right now in camp? Um?

522
00:24:11,440 --> 00:24:13,720
Speaker 1: You know, the biggest thing is do you know older

523
00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:16,399
Speaker 1: guy man? You Simon Young told me it's that control

524
00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:18,600
Speaker 1: what you can control, control the controllables, and don't worry

525
00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:20,720
Speaker 1: about everything else. And I think that a lot of

526
00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:23,760
Speaker 1: guys get into the it's a competition when you as

527
00:24:23,760 --> 00:24:25,080
Speaker 1: soon as you walk in a bid, and whether it's

528
00:24:25,119 --> 00:24:26,880
Speaker 1: in the weight room, whether it's how fast you eat

529
00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:28,560
Speaker 1: a lunch, whether it's how quick you get to the meet.

530
00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:31,639
Speaker 1: Everything is a competition everything, I promise you, and you know,

531
00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:33,800
Speaker 1: guys too much put too much focus on that instead

532
00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:35,600
Speaker 1: of looking at the main thing. It's what you're doing

533
00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:37,199
Speaker 1: here and that's what you're gonna get jugged off. And

534
00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:39,400
Speaker 1: when you control if you get two reps that day,

535
00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:41,360
Speaker 1: that might not be idea, but you control those two

536
00:24:41,359 --> 00:24:44,200
Speaker 1: reps and whatever you can do, man, control the controllables. Man.

537
00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:45,720
Speaker 1: And that was one of the things that he taught

538
00:24:45,760 --> 00:24:47,360
Speaker 1: me man, because I was a young guy in these

539
00:24:47,359 --> 00:24:49,760
Speaker 1: guys situation, and I'm just like, I'm getting three reps

540
00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:51,360
Speaker 1: a day. What do I do? You know, you start

541
00:24:51,359 --> 00:24:54,480
Speaker 1: getting frustrating. You human, everybody's human, and you're gonna continue

542
00:24:54,520 --> 00:24:56,679
Speaker 1: to you know, people are fighting for that live. This

543
00:24:56,760 --> 00:24:58,840
Speaker 1: is people childhood dreams since that was seven. And the

544
00:24:58,840 --> 00:25:00,600
Speaker 1: biggest thing is, even if you get those two reps,

545
00:25:00,640 --> 00:25:02,840
Speaker 1: thows better be the two best reps that uh, you know,

546
00:25:02,840 --> 00:25:05,240
Speaker 1: you put out there on tape. And eventually, one thing

547
00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:08,240
Speaker 1: is for certain, the honest scout won't lie. Somebody's gonna

548
00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:09,960
Speaker 1: see it, whether it's not here somewhere. And I told

549
00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:12,520
Speaker 1: those guys, man, I talked to the guys every year. Man.

550
00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:14,240
Speaker 1: You know, I get up and I try to tell

551
00:25:14,280 --> 00:25:16,560
Speaker 1: the undrafted guys specifically in my room, and don't worry

552
00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:18,399
Speaker 1: about nothing else. Don't worry about, don't worry about. I

553
00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:20,400
Speaker 1: can only give you inside on my story. Don't try

554
00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:21,880
Speaker 1: to be me, try to be better than me, don't

555
00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:23,919
Speaker 1: try to follow my footsteps, make your own you. The

556
00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:25,199
Speaker 1: only thing that I can do is give you the

557
00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:26,679
Speaker 1: knowledge that I know and pass it on to you.

558
00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:28,400
Speaker 1: So with those guys, man, we got a good group

559
00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:30,200
Speaker 1: of young guys, undrafted guys. Man. I feel like the

560
00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:32,520
Speaker 1: guys gonna make their impact whether here are somewhere, man,

561
00:25:32,560 --> 00:25:34,440
Speaker 1: And I'm just here happy that I can get those

562
00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:36,000
Speaker 1: guys any type of knowledge that they need from me.

563
00:25:36,119 --> 00:25:37,600
Speaker 1: All right, one more question for it. Let you go,

564
00:25:37,600 --> 00:25:39,399
Speaker 1: because you're a great coach, and I've seen some of

565
00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:42,880
Speaker 1: your social media with your son Junior to Sean Gibson Junior.

566
00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:46,400
Speaker 1: All right, well, how's his football career coming along so far? See,

567
00:25:46,480 --> 00:25:49,520
Speaker 1: last year we left, he just turned seven. Okay, so

568
00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:53,159
Speaker 1: we laid on and touchdowns. Last year we played with

569
00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:56,040
Speaker 1: his age group, so he scored about twenty nine touchdowns.

570
00:25:57,240 --> 00:25:58,920
Speaker 1: I got the board to prove it, and I got

571
00:25:58,960 --> 00:26:01,760
Speaker 1: the video. So anytime somebody won one game, no no,

572
00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:03,520
Speaker 1: no, no no, no, no over the season. So over the season.

573
00:26:03,560 --> 00:26:06,280
Speaker 1: So we're so, you know, three touchdowns a game is

574
00:26:06,320 --> 00:26:08,439
Speaker 1: kind of unacceptable, but we take it this year. This

575
00:26:08,560 --> 00:26:10,359
Speaker 1: year out here, we're gonna put him in a nine another.

576
00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:13,040
Speaker 1: He's gonna be with the nine another. I'm definitely I'm

577
00:26:13,040 --> 00:26:14,640
Speaker 1: gonna let you guys and I'm gonna keep you posted.

578
00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:16,920
Speaker 1: I'm gonna keep you guys updated on my social media.

579
00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:19,199
Speaker 1: But it's Texas football now, so it's a little different.

580
00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:21,080
Speaker 1: But that's my guy, man. I love him the dead

581
00:26:21,359 --> 00:26:22,960
Speaker 1: and you know I'm gonna push him. So we're in

582
00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:25,199
Speaker 1: the big leagues now. First ye ain't contact football, so

583
00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:26,960
Speaker 1: we're excited. We gonna see how that go. Are rooting

584
00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:29,160
Speaker 1: on both to Sean Gibson's this year. That's that's that's

585
00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:31,320
Speaker 1: the best way to do. Houston. The city of Houston

586
00:26:31,359 --> 00:26:33,800
Speaker 1: got too to Sean Gibson's. Make sure they root for him, man,

587
00:26:33,840 --> 00:26:36,439
Speaker 1: Absolutely make sure you're root for the two Sean Gibsons.

588
00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:38,480
Speaker 1: To Sean, thank you so much, Thank you so much. Yes,

589
00:26:38,520 --> 00:26:40,119
Speaker 1: I would be remiss if I didn't tell you that

590
00:26:40,119 --> 00:26:44,000
Speaker 1: Deep Slant is brought to you by Exfinity. Very well done,

591
00:26:44,160 --> 00:26:48,760
Speaker 1: dep City, and of course to Sean Gibson from Dallas

592
00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:51,119
Speaker 1: loves him some state of Texas, so I'm glad that

593
00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:53,359
Speaker 1: he is here, but in the city of Houston and

594
00:26:53,440 --> 00:26:55,960
Speaker 1: not in that other city up north. All right, we

595
00:26:56,000 --> 00:27:00,600
Speaker 1: get back. I this morning broke down these wide receivers

596
00:27:00,600 --> 00:27:05,280
Speaker 1: from beginning to end. Boom boom, every player, little nugget

597
00:27:05,280 --> 00:27:07,560
Speaker 1: on each one. I only got two sentences, but I

598
00:27:07,560 --> 00:27:10,240
Speaker 1: think I did okay, though I kind of pushed it

599
00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:12,280
Speaker 1: a little bit. Don't tell Mark, though. I did push

600
00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:13,800
Speaker 1: it a little bit on a few of them. But

601
00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:16,200
Speaker 1: I did stay within time constraints to get it all in.

602
00:27:17,160 --> 00:27:21,000
Speaker 1: So we'll have that breakdown of the wide receiver crew

603
00:27:21,560 --> 00:27:24,320
Speaker 1: next on Texas Axis. Boy, it was a really good

604
00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:27,720
Speaker 1: year for the wide receivers. In twenty eighteen, second and

605
00:27:27,840 --> 00:27:30,280
Speaker 1: ten at the Miami forty nine yard line to Shaun

606
00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:34,840
Speaker 1: Watson and the pistol. Watson fakes the handoff, Watson throwing

607
00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:37,159
Speaker 1: downfield to his right. He's got a man wide up

608
00:27:37,240 --> 00:27:43,120
Speaker 1: and DeAndre Hopkins ten five. He's in touchdown forty nine yards.

609
00:27:44,040 --> 00:27:46,879
Speaker 1: Second down and eight from the Houston twenty seven takes

610
00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:51,440
Speaker 1: the snap, little play fake. Watson loads up, fires downfield

611
00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:53,280
Speaker 1: and he's got a man from thener twenty five twenty

612
00:27:53,320 --> 00:27:58,680
Speaker 1: right sideline fifteen ten five rock and roll touchdown Texans

613
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:03,640
Speaker 1: Watson shotgun, no backs. Deshaun gets the snap with Sean

614
00:28:03,720 --> 00:28:06,880
Speaker 1: looking and he throws it left side. Q Tea turns

615
00:28:06,880 --> 00:28:08,960
Speaker 1: in a fifteen twenty step to the mounds twenty one

616
00:28:09,040 --> 00:28:11,960
Speaker 1: yard line, first Town, Texans. What a weapon he is.

617
00:28:12,080 --> 00:28:17,240
Speaker 1: Seven catches for QT. That's Texans record for a debut

618
00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:21,160
Speaker 1: Texans clearly in FOURD app territory. It's third and eleven

619
00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:24,440
Speaker 1: at the Philadelphia thirty five yard line. Maybe looking to

620
00:28:24,480 --> 00:28:26,840
Speaker 1: get about a half for this. Here one back Blue

621
00:28:26,880 --> 00:28:29,040
Speaker 1: Watson and the gun. Here's the snap to Sean looking

622
00:28:29,080 --> 00:28:31,680
Speaker 1: to Sean firing to the end zone and he wants

623
00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:34,000
Speaker 1: Vincent Smith and he makes the catch teep in the

624
00:28:34,080 --> 00:28:40,320
Speaker 1: end zone, touchdown. Ustad Watson, Fine Smith. Welcome back this

625
00:28:40,360 --> 00:28:44,480
Speaker 1: Monay edition of Texans All Access and that little reminder

626
00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:48,480
Speaker 1: of what those four gentlemen, Deandrew Hopkins, will Fuller, Kiki

627
00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:53,120
Speaker 1: QT and Vincent Smith did in twenty eighteen. Just a

628
00:28:53,320 --> 00:28:56,440
Speaker 1: smattering of the highlights. Obviously we've got a ton of

629
00:28:56,480 --> 00:28:59,040
Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins highlights, but I just picked that one from

630
00:28:59,080 --> 00:29:02,520
Speaker 1: the Miami game. Miami game was unbelievable because that was

631
00:29:02,960 --> 00:29:06,200
Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins touchdown against Miami. Will Fullish touchdown against Miami,

632
00:29:06,360 --> 00:29:08,440
Speaker 1: kiki Q ten it's first game against the Colts, and

633
00:29:08,480 --> 00:29:11,680
Speaker 1: then Vincent obviously making that play against the Philadelphia Eagles.

634
00:29:11,720 --> 00:29:15,200
Speaker 1: How will that group look in twenty nineteen. Well, I

635
00:29:15,360 --> 00:29:19,680
Speaker 1: broke it down player by player. Here you go. If

636
00:29:19,680 --> 00:29:22,479
Speaker 1: we're here to break down wide receivers, so let's do it,

637
00:29:22,840 --> 00:29:25,640
Speaker 1: all right, all right, Johnny Harris, rapid fire breakdown of

638
00:29:25,680 --> 00:29:28,200
Speaker 1: this important posis. I'm still under a two cents less

639
00:29:28,200 --> 00:29:31,080
Speaker 1: you are, and then we'll elaborate later. Yeah, okay, all right, Jones,

640
00:29:31,120 --> 00:29:33,560
Speaker 1: he's firing up the NFL music for us. Now listen,

641
00:29:34,320 --> 00:29:36,920
Speaker 1: Fifteen years ago, I would have started in the eighties

642
00:29:37,120 --> 00:29:39,240
Speaker 1: to break down the wide receivers. But now I'll go

643
00:29:39,320 --> 00:29:41,320
Speaker 1: right to the teens on my numeracle roster, and it's

644
00:29:41,320 --> 00:29:43,720
Speaker 1: just like wr wr w all these guys. All right,

645
00:29:43,760 --> 00:29:46,800
Speaker 1: let's so let's start here with a certain number ten

646
00:29:47,280 --> 00:29:51,800
Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins go, he's good. Next, all right, we'll elaborate later.

647
00:29:52,120 --> 00:29:54,960
Speaker 1: Will Fuller, I think he ends up being the key

648
00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:59,719
Speaker 1: to this offense because if if DeAndre Hopkins gives you

649
00:29:59,720 --> 00:30:03,040
Speaker 1: what the Andry Hopkins has given you, Will Fuller can

650
00:30:03,120 --> 00:30:07,040
Speaker 1: change everything because it puts defenses on notice to say

651
00:30:07,320 --> 00:30:10,560
Speaker 1: which guy you're gonna double? Who is your focus today?

652
00:30:11,200 --> 00:30:13,520
Speaker 1: And if you're singled up on Will Fuller, he will

653
00:30:13,600 --> 00:30:16,360
Speaker 1: make you pay. Right, you're singled up on de Andry Hopkins.

654
00:30:16,360 --> 00:30:18,720
Speaker 1: He will make you pay very good. Now you're gonna

655
00:30:18,760 --> 00:30:20,760
Speaker 1: double up. And then you got QT in the slot

656
00:30:20,760 --> 00:30:23,600
Speaker 1: and he's very dangerous as we've seen. So what about him? Yeah,

657
00:30:23,720 --> 00:30:25,440
Speaker 1: I think the way that he catches the ball. I

658
00:30:25,440 --> 00:30:28,240
Speaker 1: thought it was yesterday he had a drop inside. I

659
00:30:28,320 --> 00:30:30,240
Speaker 1: was like, oh, it was like, whoa. That's just so

660
00:30:30,280 --> 00:30:32,560
Speaker 1: weird to see him do that because he's got such

661
00:30:32,640 --> 00:30:35,360
Speaker 1: great hands. The way that he changes tempos on his

662
00:30:35,600 --> 00:30:39,960
Speaker 1: changes tempo on his routes to get open. It's maestro level.

663
00:30:40,040 --> 00:30:42,600
Speaker 1: Love watching him in the slot. Get any drops out

664
00:30:42,600 --> 00:30:44,520
Speaker 1: of the way now, please, Yeah, this is the time

665
00:30:44,560 --> 00:30:46,840
Speaker 1: to do it and play clean once you get to

666
00:30:46,880 --> 00:30:49,120
Speaker 1: the regular season. So let's go to Vincent Smith. Now,

667
00:30:49,120 --> 00:30:51,600
Speaker 1: I made that huge play against the Eagles. If they

668
00:30:51,600 --> 00:30:53,040
Speaker 1: were able to hold out of that league, that's one

669
00:30:53,040 --> 00:30:54,680
Speaker 1: of the greatest plays in the history of the franchise.

670
00:30:54,840 --> 00:30:57,440
Speaker 1: You're right. He can run. He can run every route

671
00:30:57,440 --> 00:30:59,520
Speaker 1: on the route tree. He can run short, intermediate, long,

672
00:30:59,520 --> 00:31:02,120
Speaker 1: He could do that. He's still, you can tell, kind

673
00:31:02,120 --> 00:31:05,080
Speaker 1: of still absorbing the offense, but he knows what to do.

674
00:31:05,120 --> 00:31:08,200
Speaker 1: This year, he's more in tune with where he has

675
00:31:08,200 --> 00:31:11,280
Speaker 1: to be lined up. How he gets himself open. I

676
00:31:11,280 --> 00:31:13,920
Speaker 1: think as the number four receiver, you want to label

677
00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:16,120
Speaker 1: it as such, he's guy. It impacts his team because

678
00:31:16,120 --> 00:31:17,880
Speaker 1: he can play outside. You can move inside a little

679
00:31:17,880 --> 00:31:20,120
Speaker 1: bit if he needed to, if you needed to, Hopefully

680
00:31:20,120 --> 00:31:22,360
Speaker 1: you don't. I just think he adds so much because

681
00:31:22,400 --> 00:31:24,040
Speaker 1: he's also going to be a guy on special teams too,

682
00:31:24,040 --> 00:31:26,680
Speaker 1: whether it's return game, whether it's covering kicks and punts, whatever.

683
00:31:27,040 --> 00:31:29,040
Speaker 1: Fitz Smith's gonna be a factor on this team. We've

684
00:31:29,040 --> 00:31:31,520
Speaker 1: talked about these young bucks, these rookies coming in, but

685
00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:34,360
Speaker 1: what about Jester Wiah who ended up on ir last

686
00:31:34,440 --> 00:31:37,280
Speaker 1: year out of pit He's big, six three two ten.

687
00:31:37,480 --> 00:31:39,760
Speaker 1: What about him? I think unfortunately at the end of

688
00:31:39,800 --> 00:31:42,040
Speaker 1: training camp last year he had an injury that kind

689
00:31:42,040 --> 00:31:43,680
Speaker 1: of slowed him now because he was really on the

690
00:31:43,720 --> 00:31:47,040
Speaker 1: same pace with Vincent, and then when we had got hurt,

691
00:31:47,120 --> 00:31:50,080
Speaker 1: it allowed Vincent to kind of step forward. So Jesture's

692
00:31:50,120 --> 00:31:52,680
Speaker 1: trying to make up for that time. But big body

693
00:31:52,760 --> 00:31:55,360
Speaker 1: catches the ball, very nimble on the sideline. He made

694
00:31:55,360 --> 00:31:56,800
Speaker 1: a great catching the ends on the other day and

695
00:31:56,840 --> 00:31:59,920
Speaker 1: got both feet in. Tony two tapped it for a touchdowns,

696
00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:02,040
Speaker 1: got a budge of ability. But man, it's a really

697
00:32:02,040 --> 00:32:04,960
Speaker 1: tough position to work into and make up that ground

698
00:32:04,960 --> 00:32:07,240
Speaker 1: with guys that are head of him. Steven Mitchell big

699
00:32:07,280 --> 00:32:10,160
Speaker 1: play as a passet of Ferret's flag was thrown when

700
00:32:10,160 --> 00:32:12,320
Speaker 1: he was making a play down field or trying to

701
00:32:12,800 --> 00:32:15,520
Speaker 1: last year late in a game. Now, what about Mitchell

702
00:32:15,640 --> 00:32:18,239
Speaker 1: coming into this year? Is he a slot guy? I

703
00:32:18,240 --> 00:32:20,560
Speaker 1: think he ends up being a slot guy. He's got

704
00:32:20,640 --> 00:32:22,920
Speaker 1: the potential when you put him in the slot to

705
00:32:22,960 --> 00:32:24,600
Speaker 1: do what a lot of teams do now is get

706
00:32:24,600 --> 00:32:26,000
Speaker 1: a guy in the slot that can fly like a

707
00:32:26,040 --> 00:32:28,120
Speaker 1: Tyreek Hill, like a Chief dude, and then sending him

708
00:32:28,120 --> 00:32:30,200
Speaker 1: on a slot fade like basically run nine route from

709
00:32:30,200 --> 00:32:33,120
Speaker 1: the slot, and he just runs by the safety and

710
00:32:33,280 --> 00:32:35,560
Speaker 1: that's like stealing money. That's what Stevie did last year,

711
00:32:35,640 --> 00:32:37,520
Speaker 1: just ran right by a guy to get that pass

712
00:32:37,560 --> 00:32:40,760
Speaker 1: interference call. He's looked really good in camp, catches the

713
00:32:40,760 --> 00:32:43,600
Speaker 1: ball pretty well, gets himself open. I think you couldn't

714
00:32:43,680 --> 00:32:45,720
Speaker 1: use him outside, even though he's not the biggest guy

715
00:32:45,760 --> 00:32:47,680
Speaker 1: in the world in a pinch, But I think in

716
00:32:47,720 --> 00:32:50,480
Speaker 1: the slot he's very difficult because he runs away from guys,

717
00:32:50,520 --> 00:32:52,240
Speaker 1: gets the ball in his hands. I thought He's really good.

718
00:32:52,280 --> 00:32:53,800
Speaker 1: The first two three days of camp and I really

719
00:32:53,800 --> 00:32:56,880
Speaker 1: focused on the receivers my camp crush. And it's been

720
00:32:56,880 --> 00:32:58,960
Speaker 1: this way since Ota, so it's been a long crush.

721
00:32:59,040 --> 00:33:02,680
Speaker 1: Tyron Johnson, rookie from Oklahoma State. What do you got

722
00:33:02,760 --> 00:33:05,360
Speaker 1: on him? He's six one, one ninety five. I'll ask

723
00:33:05,400 --> 00:33:08,040
Speaker 1: him question. I'll answer a question with a question. When

724
00:33:08,040 --> 00:33:09,960
Speaker 1: you are a rookie, what's the one thing that you

725
00:33:10,240 --> 00:33:13,320
Speaker 1: better do every single day you step on this field.

726
00:33:13,520 --> 00:33:16,000
Speaker 1: You better catch the ball, and you better play special team,

727
00:33:16,040 --> 00:33:18,520
Speaker 1: and three you better know what you're doing. Oh, okay, good?

728
00:33:18,560 --> 00:33:20,560
Speaker 1: And as a rookie, is that important? That's a that's

729
00:33:20,560 --> 00:33:22,640
Speaker 1: a challenge. And there were a couple of times where

730
00:33:22,680 --> 00:33:25,600
Speaker 1: Tyrand's not in the right spot, didn't make the right read.

731
00:33:25,640 --> 00:33:28,600
Speaker 1: He wasn't seeing the same thing as DeShawn did, and

732
00:33:28,680 --> 00:33:30,840
Speaker 1: that was that was a problem because Bradley Robbie ended

733
00:33:30,920 --> 00:33:34,120
Speaker 1: up with an interception. The Tyrant is is really talented.

734
00:33:34,160 --> 00:33:36,920
Speaker 1: You mentioned the size. He's got size, he plays outside,

735
00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:39,040
Speaker 1: he catches the ball, and he runs away from guys.

736
00:33:39,360 --> 00:33:41,280
Speaker 1: I think we would have talking more about Tyrn had

737
00:33:41,280 --> 00:33:43,880
Speaker 1: he either been in Oklahoma State his entire career or

738
00:33:43,880 --> 00:33:45,960
Speaker 1: state of the lsue. Either way, he had a great

739
00:33:46,440 --> 00:33:48,479
Speaker 1: a great year at Oklahoma State last year. I really

740
00:33:48,560 --> 00:33:50,600
Speaker 1: kind of put him on the radar screen for the Texans,

741
00:33:50,640 --> 00:33:52,120
Speaker 1: and I'm glad he's here because I think he's really

742
00:33:52,120 --> 00:33:53,600
Speaker 1: going to be in contention for one of those final

743
00:33:53,680 --> 00:34:01,479
Speaker 1: receiver spots Johnny Dixon, OHSU and rookie one eight five eleven.

744
00:34:01,680 --> 00:34:04,920
Speaker 1: He you know, it's funny. He is faster. He's a

745
00:34:04,960 --> 00:34:09,000
Speaker 1: slot guy, but he's faster than he is quick, and

746
00:34:09,040 --> 00:34:12,560
Speaker 1: he's pretty cutting. He's pretty quick. But when you talk

747
00:34:12,600 --> 00:34:16,360
Speaker 1: about like twitchy dudes, like Kicky QT is twitchy, like

748
00:34:17,200 --> 00:34:19,879
Speaker 1: you know, that's you know, Johnny's got that, but he's

749
00:34:19,920 --> 00:34:22,160
Speaker 1: not at the Kicky QT level. And I think that's

750
00:34:22,200 --> 00:34:24,399
Speaker 1: probably why he ended up not getting drafted. The guy

751
00:34:24,480 --> 00:34:26,759
Speaker 1: ran a four four so we can run, there's no doubt.

752
00:34:26,800 --> 00:34:28,439
Speaker 1: And when you see him get the ball, he can run.

753
00:34:29,040 --> 00:34:31,200
Speaker 1: But what he's gonna have to learn in a quick

754
00:34:31,400 --> 00:34:34,399
Speaker 1: amount of time and a short amount of time, how

755
00:34:34,400 --> 00:34:36,120
Speaker 1: do I get open in the slot? How do I

756
00:34:36,160 --> 00:34:38,200
Speaker 1: do that? How do I do it quickly? Even though

757
00:34:38,239 --> 00:34:41,160
Speaker 1: I'm not the kind of guy, he's got a little

758
00:34:41,160 --> 00:34:43,719
Speaker 1: bit of that. The way he did that the first time. Yeah,

759
00:34:43,719 --> 00:34:45,480
Speaker 1: I know, I mean it's exactly It's like the Fairest

760
00:34:45,480 --> 00:34:48,239
Speaker 1: Bueler thing. But he's got to prove that he can

761
00:34:48,280 --> 00:34:49,759
Speaker 1: do that to be able to nab one of these

762
00:34:49,800 --> 00:34:51,680
Speaker 1: slot receiver spots. I know a lot of people have

763
00:34:51,760 --> 00:34:54,239
Speaker 1: talked about him because he went to High States, so

764
00:34:54,280 --> 00:34:56,759
Speaker 1: we've seen him play. He is dynamic with the ball

765
00:34:56,760 --> 00:34:59,440
Speaker 1: in his hands, but in the slot that's a really

766
00:34:59,520 --> 00:35:03,960
Speaker 1: difficult position to learn as a rookie, and especially when

767
00:35:03,960 --> 00:35:06,000
Speaker 1: you have a guy the QT already there. I'm excited

768
00:35:06,040 --> 00:35:07,680
Speaker 1: to see what he does in practice at Green Bay.

769
00:35:07,880 --> 00:35:11,160
Speaker 1: All right, going ocean deep in the wide receiver group

770
00:35:11,239 --> 00:35:14,799
Speaker 1: here Floyd Alan, rookie from Old Miss. We saw the

771
00:35:14,840 --> 00:35:19,320
Speaker 1: story about him getting his degree. Great story, what about him?

772
00:35:19,480 --> 00:35:24,160
Speaker 1: I I love Flood Allen. I saw that before Floyd

773
00:35:24,200 --> 00:35:25,840
Speaker 1: Allen even got on the radar screen of a Texans

774
00:35:25,880 --> 00:35:28,040
Speaker 1: I saw a video that Old Miss put out when

775
00:35:28,080 --> 00:35:30,040
Speaker 1: he got a scholarship. He's a walk on player. His

776
00:35:30,080 --> 00:35:32,279
Speaker 1: story gets to Old Miss is pretty amazing, and even

777
00:35:32,320 --> 00:35:35,680
Speaker 1: to get to hear it's pretty amazing. But how Matt Luke,

778
00:35:35,680 --> 00:35:38,120
Speaker 1: the head coach Old Miss, gave him his scholarship was

779
00:35:38,200 --> 00:35:40,759
Speaker 1: really really cool. And what I love about that was

780
00:35:40,960 --> 00:35:42,959
Speaker 1: I saw the reaction of the old his old miss

781
00:35:42,960 --> 00:35:45,600
Speaker 1: teammates to him getting his scholarship and then Mark, they

782
00:35:45,680 --> 00:35:48,719
Speaker 1: carried him off the fuel. It's like John Madden after

783
00:35:48,760 --> 00:35:51,560
Speaker 1: winning the Supers. It was unbelievable. And the thing is

784
00:35:51,560 --> 00:35:53,040
Speaker 1: is you get him out here and you're like, what

785
00:35:53,080 --> 00:35:55,000
Speaker 1: do you have to lose with a guy that buses

786
00:35:55,040 --> 00:35:58,960
Speaker 1: but that has faced adversity, is from Houston, understands what

787
00:35:59,080 --> 00:36:01,000
Speaker 1: it takes to be a profess even as a rookie,

788
00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:03,719
Speaker 1: like an runs pretty well and catches the ball pretty well.

789
00:36:03,880 --> 00:36:06,239
Speaker 1: Like it's the guy that you really are taking no

790
00:36:06,400 --> 00:36:09,160
Speaker 1: risk on. Really there's no risk in Floyd Allen, and

791
00:36:09,200 --> 00:36:11,120
Speaker 1: every day he just does a little bit more, a

792
00:36:11,120 --> 00:36:14,319
Speaker 1: little bit more, a little bit more to improve as

793
00:36:14,360 --> 00:36:17,520
Speaker 1: a football player. I it's gonna be really hard at

794
00:36:17,560 --> 00:36:19,360
Speaker 1: some point to say, Floyd, we can't put you on

795
00:36:19,400 --> 00:36:20,799
Speaker 1: this team. But I just think he's gonna be around

796
00:36:20,840 --> 00:36:24,360
Speaker 1: here in some way, shape or form. Stephen Lewis rookie

797
00:36:24,360 --> 00:36:26,719
Speaker 1: North Carolina State at six two two fifteen. Man, these

798
00:36:26,719 --> 00:36:31,879
Speaker 1: guys are big, big receivers. Long arm guy. Long arm guy,

799
00:36:32,120 --> 00:36:35,640
Speaker 1: doesn't run exceptionally well, but an outside wide receiver that

800
00:36:35,680 --> 00:36:38,680
Speaker 1: will go across the middle, that will take the hits physical,

801
00:36:38,840 --> 00:36:42,160
Speaker 1: physical guy. I think because he doesn't have the four

802
00:36:42,280 --> 00:36:45,920
Speaker 1: four four five speed that you'd really desire and an

803
00:36:45,920 --> 00:36:48,120
Speaker 1: outside guy, it's probably why he ended up not being drafted.

804
00:36:48,200 --> 00:36:50,600
Speaker 1: But you talk about a physical dude. Now, he is

805
00:36:50,640 --> 00:36:54,200
Speaker 1: a big, physical wide receiver. What about Chad Hanson who

806
00:36:54,239 --> 00:36:56,320
Speaker 1: looks like he could be a member of the Hanson family,

807
00:36:56,400 --> 00:36:59,160
Speaker 1: the Hanson brothers. Yeah, he's six two by two hundred pounds.

808
00:36:59,160 --> 00:37:00,640
Speaker 1: I remember seeing him at how He made a lot

809
00:37:00,640 --> 00:37:03,279
Speaker 1: of acrobatic catches at Cal. Was a track guy in

810
00:37:03,320 --> 00:37:05,399
Speaker 1: high school. I remember correctly. I want to see him.

811
00:37:05,400 --> 00:37:08,799
Speaker 1: Was a hurdler if I remember correctly. But good, look,

812
00:37:08,800 --> 00:37:10,719
Speaker 1: you bring a guy in there, compete, go up and

813
00:37:10,719 --> 00:37:13,280
Speaker 1: get the football on a and if you want on once,

814
00:37:13,320 --> 00:37:15,719
Speaker 1: get your name out there for the coaching steps say

815
00:37:15,760 --> 00:37:18,359
Speaker 1: hey man, we by the way, By the way, how

816
00:37:18,400 --> 00:37:21,560
Speaker 1: did we get Jet Hanson? What happened? I don't know

817
00:37:21,760 --> 00:37:25,680
Speaker 1: because there's no general manager. So he just magic, like

818
00:37:25,680 --> 00:37:27,600
Speaker 1: like the roster moves they've made him the last week.

819
00:37:27,640 --> 00:37:29,719
Speaker 1: I think they've just sort of magically happened. I think

820
00:37:29,719 --> 00:37:32,680
Speaker 1: the league is operating the team. Actually, so it's just

821
00:37:32,719 --> 00:37:35,319
Speaker 1: it's one of the David David Stern made that move. Yeah, yeah,

822
00:37:35,400 --> 00:37:38,760
Speaker 1: David Stern is is taking control. Yeah, so I guess.

823
00:37:38,800 --> 00:37:41,240
Speaker 1: I guess that's what they're able to make transactions. Johnny

824
00:37:41,320 --> 00:37:43,560
Speaker 1: is that still allowed? I guess because that's how chet

825
00:37:43,600 --> 00:37:45,160
Speaker 1: Hanson got here because he wasn't here to day one.

826
00:37:45,239 --> 00:37:48,279
Speaker 1: Showed up, just drove in. But now he can run

827
00:37:48,320 --> 00:37:50,400
Speaker 1: a little bit. He's a smooth wide receiver. He had

828
00:37:50,400 --> 00:37:54,400
Speaker 1: a great, great last year at Cal and just hasn't

829
00:37:54,400 --> 00:37:56,560
Speaker 1: been able to stick. Some of it's been injuries. I

830
00:37:56,600 --> 00:37:58,600
Speaker 1: know he had injuries I think early on in his

831
00:37:58,680 --> 00:38:01,800
Speaker 1: career at Cal. But guy didn't catch anything thrown in

832
00:38:01,920 --> 00:38:04,920
Speaker 1: his directions. So he's got he's got to do something

833
00:38:04,920 --> 00:38:08,560
Speaker 1: on special teams to get some really some attention in

834
00:38:08,600 --> 00:38:10,959
Speaker 1: this wide receiver group. All right, that's a far wide

835
00:38:10,960 --> 00:38:14,520
Speaker 1: receiver group position breakdown. Thank you JONESI for the NFL

836
00:38:14,560 --> 00:38:16,440
Speaker 1: films music. Did you get all of them? All? Right?

837
00:38:16,480 --> 00:38:18,200
Speaker 1: Who have I missed? Did I miss anybody? I don't

838
00:38:18,239 --> 00:38:20,520
Speaker 1: think I missed anybody. No, I might have missed somebody.

839
00:38:20,800 --> 00:38:24,960
Speaker 1: Go by number ten, eleven, twelve. Oh, we didn't talk

840
00:38:24,960 --> 00:38:28,040
Speaker 1: about Deander Carter. Oh, I didn't talk about it because

841
00:38:28,040 --> 00:38:30,520
Speaker 1: you know why he's not on my numeracle roster because

842
00:38:30,520 --> 00:38:33,880
Speaker 1: he's hurt right now, he's on the pup. So Carter

843
00:38:33,960 --> 00:38:37,239
Speaker 1: as a receiver really quick here, this is actually, this

844
00:38:37,320 --> 00:38:42,640
Speaker 1: is a huge situation. Yeah, Carter is your incumbent return guy.

845
00:38:42,920 --> 00:38:45,359
Speaker 1: Did a really nice job last year, all right, So

846
00:38:45,400 --> 00:38:47,759
Speaker 1: the question for these other guys is can they take

847
00:38:47,800 --> 00:38:52,279
Speaker 1: over that backup slot position and return well enough to

848
00:38:52,440 --> 00:38:56,720
Speaker 1: replace Carter? Or does Carter win the job as backup

849
00:38:56,719 --> 00:38:58,600
Speaker 1: slot guy. For lack of a better way of putting it,

850
00:38:58,719 --> 00:39:00,839
Speaker 1: just a you know, phill In wide sieber, because he's

851
00:39:00,840 --> 00:39:02,480
Speaker 1: not gonna be on the field on a regular basis

852
00:39:02,520 --> 00:39:06,480
Speaker 1: in eleven on eleven regular line of scrimmage play, but

853
00:39:06,800 --> 00:39:09,520
Speaker 1: special teams wise, do you just go ahead and make

854
00:39:09,560 --> 00:39:11,600
Speaker 1: that move and keep him because none of these other

855
00:39:11,640 --> 00:39:13,759
Speaker 1: guys have been able to shine in that department, even

856
00:39:13,760 --> 00:39:17,239
Speaker 1: though they might be better at receiving than Kim. And

857
00:39:17,280 --> 00:39:19,080
Speaker 1: I think that ends up being your formula. You just

858
00:39:19,120 --> 00:39:23,560
Speaker 1: said it is DeAndre Carter a better returner than those

859
00:39:23,600 --> 00:39:26,319
Speaker 1: guys are slot receivers. You said it very well, much

860
00:39:26,320 --> 00:39:28,320
Speaker 1: better than I think. That's the that's probably the formula

861
00:39:28,360 --> 00:39:29,879
Speaker 1: you're looking at it. We don't and it's too early

862
00:39:29,920 --> 00:39:32,239
Speaker 1: to tell, right what I think? So yeah, I think

863
00:39:32,239 --> 00:39:35,520
Speaker 1: with the returnability the rookies, you don't know anything. You

864
00:39:35,520 --> 00:39:37,440
Speaker 1: got to see them in these preseason games. That might

865
00:39:37,480 --> 00:39:39,239
Speaker 1: not tell you everything you need to know, but it's

866
00:39:39,239 --> 00:39:40,640
Speaker 1: gonna tell you a whole lot more than what you

867
00:39:40,640 --> 00:39:43,200
Speaker 1: know right now. Yeah, you have to see and you'll

868
00:39:43,239 --> 00:39:44,960
Speaker 1: start to see a little bit of that, start to

869
00:39:44,960 --> 00:39:47,560
Speaker 1: see a little bit in practice against the Packers, but

870
00:39:47,680 --> 00:39:49,560
Speaker 1: really in those preseason games, that's when you start to

871
00:39:49,560 --> 00:39:52,359
Speaker 1: see it, especially the pond returns. That's that's where he was.

872
00:39:52,480 --> 00:39:57,320
Speaker 1: So DeAndre was so quick and so crisp and clean

873
00:39:57,480 --> 00:39:59,040
Speaker 1: with his return game because he caught it and he

874
00:39:59,160 --> 00:40:01,880
Speaker 1: went and even you know, talking to Brad Seeley about this,

875
00:40:01,920 --> 00:40:03,800
Speaker 1: and he was talking about Kiki Qt as a rookie.

876
00:40:04,000 --> 00:40:05,560
Speaker 1: You know, KICKI would get back there and he would

877
00:40:05,560 --> 00:40:08,480
Speaker 1: fair catch the ball and Brad Sealey would say, Coach

878
00:40:08,520 --> 00:40:10,320
Speaker 1: would say to him, why did you fare catch that?

879
00:40:10,360 --> 00:40:12,239
Speaker 1: And he's like, well, you know, they right here. He goes, Look,

880
00:40:12,600 --> 00:40:14,560
Speaker 1: it's the NFL. They're gonna be right in front of you,

881
00:40:14,840 --> 00:40:16,879
Speaker 1: right DeAndre at Carter catches the ball. He has no fear.

882
00:40:17,239 --> 00:40:18,880
Speaker 1: He has no fear. He can have eight guys around him.

883
00:40:18,880 --> 00:40:20,560
Speaker 1: He's catch the ball. He's not fair catching that thing.

884
00:40:20,640 --> 00:40:23,280
Speaker 1: He's gonna catch that ball. He's gonna wake something happened.

885
00:40:23,320 --> 00:40:26,319
Speaker 1: So from that perspective, he gives you a lot in

886
00:40:26,360 --> 00:40:28,719
Speaker 1: the punt return game. The kick return game is so

887
00:40:28,800 --> 00:40:32,480
Speaker 1: nebulous now, I mean, it really has become sort of nebulous.

888
00:40:32,560 --> 00:40:35,000
Speaker 1: But I think as I say that, I started and

889
00:40:35,040 --> 00:40:39,760
Speaker 1: I Watlous. I watched how how we were doing kickoff

890
00:40:39,800 --> 00:40:42,040
Speaker 1: return and we were working on that in the in

891
00:40:42,120 --> 00:40:44,160
Speaker 1: the bubble yesterday and the day before that, and I

892
00:40:44,200 --> 00:40:46,480
Speaker 1: was like, I think there might be more returns ever

893
00:40:46,719 --> 00:40:49,360
Speaker 1: than than in a long time in the league. In

894
00:40:49,400 --> 00:40:51,520
Speaker 1: the league, just because teams are gonna get so good

895
00:40:51,520 --> 00:40:53,839
Speaker 1: at putting that ball right in that coffin corner at

896
00:40:53,840 --> 00:40:56,359
Speaker 1: the one yard. That's what the kickers have to It's

897
00:40:56,360 --> 00:40:59,840
Speaker 1: a really tough thing to practice because the conditions vary. Yes, obviously,

898
00:41:00,120 --> 00:41:01,520
Speaker 1: and then you don't want to kick it to the

899
00:41:01,640 --> 00:41:04,200
Speaker 1: ten because now they got a good return going. You

900
00:41:04,200 --> 00:41:06,680
Speaker 1: gotta get it right at that in that goal line area.

901
00:41:06,760 --> 00:41:09,720
Speaker 1: A two yard give or take and and really tease

902
00:41:09,800 --> 00:41:13,080
Speaker 1: and tempt that return. I've said it often about this

903
00:41:13,120 --> 00:41:16,680
Speaker 1: receiver crew. If it can stay healthy, it's as good

904
00:41:16,719 --> 00:41:19,560
Speaker 1: as any I've seen. Unfortunately, you won't be able to

905
00:41:19,600 --> 00:41:25,640
Speaker 1: carry everybody on into this twenty nineteen season, but hopefully

906
00:41:25,680 --> 00:41:28,560
Speaker 1: you're carrying the guys forward that are going to make

907
00:41:28,600 --> 00:41:31,200
Speaker 1: a significant impact not only on this team, but on

908
00:41:31,280 --> 00:41:34,640
Speaker 1: AFC South and AFC and the entire NFL. You've got

909
00:41:34,680 --> 00:41:37,160
Speaker 1: the best wide receiver in league. You've got an emerging

910
00:41:37,400 --> 00:41:39,919
Speaker 1: star and Will Fuller. You have a guy in QT

911
00:41:40,160 --> 00:41:43,600
Speaker 1: that should be at eighty to ninety catches at a

912
00:41:43,600 --> 00:41:45,720
Speaker 1: minimum this year. And you got a Vincent Smith who

913
00:41:45,760 --> 00:41:48,680
Speaker 1: I'll put up against anybody's number four wide receiver in

914
00:41:48,680 --> 00:41:51,000
Speaker 1: this league, whether he came out of Limestone or Alabama.

915
00:41:51,200 --> 00:41:54,680
Speaker 1: He's a tremendous football player. And that's that's just the

916
00:41:54,680 --> 00:41:57,080
Speaker 1: beginning with what you have to back end as well,

917
00:41:57,400 --> 00:41:59,320
Speaker 1: and the question becomes do you carry five? Do you

918
00:41:59,360 --> 00:42:01,520
Speaker 1: carry six? As we talked about there, what do you

919
00:42:01,560 --> 00:42:03,440
Speaker 1: do with DeAndre Carter? Hopefully we're able to see the

920
00:42:03,440 --> 00:42:06,719
Speaker 1: fourteen get back because he adds something in the return game,

921
00:42:06,800 --> 00:42:09,080
Speaker 1: especially the punt return game. So a lot going on

922
00:42:09,280 --> 00:42:13,040
