1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:02,640
Speaker 1: What's going on? Everybody. Welcome to it Friday edition, a

2
00:00:02,840 --> 00:00:06,600
Speaker 1: tgi F Friday edition of Texas All Access. I'm your host,

3
00:00:06,680 --> 00:00:09,800
Speaker 1: John Harris, Football on a sideline reporter. It's time to

4
00:00:09,840 --> 00:00:12,200
Speaker 1: dive right in. Let's get the broadcast crew together, Mark

5
00:00:12,360 --> 00:00:17,320
Speaker 1: Andre and myself. Here we go, Dran. I want to

6
00:00:17,360 --> 00:00:19,880
Speaker 1: get to obviously Demiko and this staffing put together and

7
00:00:19,880 --> 00:00:21,520
Speaker 1: all that kind of stuff, but I want to start

8
00:00:21,520 --> 00:00:26,599
Speaker 1: with your thoughts, specifically on the quarterback play in the

9
00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:29,080
Speaker 1: Super Bowl from both sides, from Jalen Hurts and from

10
00:00:29,080 --> 00:00:32,040
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes, and what your thoughts were about it. Yeah,

11
00:00:32,080 --> 00:00:35,479
Speaker 1: I was I couldn't wait until the game. I mean

12
00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:38,559
Speaker 1: it was like I was playing in one because of

13
00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:42,440
Speaker 1: the countdown and the anticipation of this matchup. And it

14
00:00:42,479 --> 00:00:45,400
Speaker 1: didn't disappoint. I thought both guys went right at each

15
00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:47,720
Speaker 1: other the first half. It was back and forth, and

16
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:49,879
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, Philly gets a ten point lead

17
00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:51,559
Speaker 1: at the half, and I thought they were well on

18
00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:54,600
Speaker 1: their way if they could just get a stop in

19
00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:57,120
Speaker 1: the second half. But the two of them, I thought

20
00:00:57,160 --> 00:01:01,720
Speaker 1: played spectacularly. It couldn't take my eyes off off the

21
00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:04,000
Speaker 1: game because you didn't know what was going to happen

22
00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:10,119
Speaker 1: between the two, and it was just two outstanding individual performances. Well,

23
00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:12,600
Speaker 1: what do we learn here from this? Seeing a guy

24
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:16,319
Speaker 1: like Jalen Hurts his journey and getting to where he is,

25
00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:21,560
Speaker 1: Andreas an MVP candidate caliber player, super Bowl quarterback, and

26
00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:23,960
Speaker 1: here are the tech sands And Demiko said it himself,

27
00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:25,880
Speaker 1: they only have one quarterback on the roster. They're looking

28
00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:27,479
Speaker 1: for quarterbacks. We don't know how they're going to put

29
00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:30,760
Speaker 1: it together, but your thoughts on where the next one

30
00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:33,520
Speaker 1: might come from and maybe where he should come from.

31
00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:37,360
Speaker 1: So I think if I had that answer, you know,

32
00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:40,440
Speaker 1: I'd be a commodity around the NFL. I'd give me

33
00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:42,200
Speaker 1: getting a lot of phone calls and a lot of

34
00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:45,240
Speaker 1: you know, a lot of dollars in my bank account

35
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:47,960
Speaker 1: if I could answer that one honestly to where to

36
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:50,560
Speaker 1: go to find them automatically. But I mean, you just

37
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:53,400
Speaker 1: got to turn over every stone, leave no stone unturned

38
00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:56,120
Speaker 1: as you try to find out and iron out this roster,

39
00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:59,360
Speaker 1: especially at that position as you put it together. But

40
00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:01,440
Speaker 1: from Jay and it was just hard work. I mean

41
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:04,480
Speaker 1: he was He's been doubted his entire career and he

42
00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:07,560
Speaker 1: just I think he loves and enjoys just proving the

43
00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:11,240
Speaker 1: doubters wrong and the jump from one year to the other.

44
00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:13,200
Speaker 1: And that's why I tell you guys all the time,

45
00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:18,120
Speaker 1: from a foundational standpoint, a quarterback coming back to the

46
00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:21,440
Speaker 1: same system year in and year out is a bonus,

47
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:24,880
Speaker 1: and you rarely see it in today's games because the

48
00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:27,720
Speaker 1: minute you get good as a team, somebody's going to

49
00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:30,320
Speaker 1: come get one of your coordinators. So now you're bringing

50
00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:33,280
Speaker 1: somebody else in. The easiest way to do it is

51
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:36,320
Speaker 1: to have that coach learn the system and then continue

52
00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:39,440
Speaker 1: to teach it. From a terminology standpoint, though some of

53
00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:41,600
Speaker 1: the play calling is going to be different. I think

54
00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:43,840
Speaker 1: it's gonna be different for him. Next year. The Eagles

55
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:46,839
Speaker 1: may take a step back offensively, even if they're able

56
00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:50,760
Speaker 1: to bring all eleven starters back, which we rarely see

57
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:55,720
Speaker 1: in free agency and in today's NFL world. So where

58
00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:58,399
Speaker 1: do the Texans go. It's obviously going to be through

59
00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:02,240
Speaker 1: the draft. Do all your due diligence. I've said all along,

60
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:05,560
Speaker 1: you know in season out of season, now that we're

61
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:08,520
Speaker 1: in the off season that I would probably take two

62
00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:11,640
Speaker 1: quarterbacks and draft too, and sign a free agent and

63
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:15,960
Speaker 1: let everybody compete Dre with Demiko Ryan's taking over as

64
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:18,880
Speaker 1: as the head coach. We haven't seen Demiko as a

65
00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:22,240
Speaker 1: coach as we saw him as a player. And you

66
00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:23,960
Speaker 1: guys got a chance to see every single play that

67
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:25,520
Speaker 1: he had here with the Texans, and he goes to

68
00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:28,600
Speaker 1: Philadelphia after that, naming him as the head coach and

69
00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:30,880
Speaker 1: bringing him into this organization. What do you think it

70
00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:35,120
Speaker 1: means to the organization and just everything to the fans,

71
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:38,320
Speaker 1: to the followers, to everybody with Demiko taking over as

72
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:41,040
Speaker 1: the head coach, Well, it's one heck of a marketing

73
00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:43,600
Speaker 1: deal first and foremost, because I don't know that you

74
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:47,080
Speaker 1: could ever I was thinking about this the other day.

75
00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:49,000
Speaker 1: A guy that has played for a team that actually

76
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:53,360
Speaker 1: goes back and coaches that team, that's a hard one

77
00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:55,480
Speaker 1: to come up with. But when you talk about the

78
00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:58,760
Speaker 1: type of person Demiko is coming back as a coach,

79
00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:03,120
Speaker 1: you reference excellent leadership skills and you got that was

80
00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:06,960
Speaker 1: on full display every day that he was he was

81
00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:09,640
Speaker 1: a part of the Texans organization. So you figure you're

82
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:13,400
Speaker 1: getting that back as a coach. A guy that uh,

83
00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:16,840
Speaker 1: you know, clamorous to win, wants to win, and h

84
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:20,359
Speaker 1: and can certainly get it done. So this is exciting

85
00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:23,800
Speaker 1: from a fans standpoint. You're getting fans back in the

86
00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:27,920
Speaker 1: stadium with this higher everything just seems to align itself

87
00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:30,640
Speaker 1: just right. Yeah, you get the former players back, the

88
00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:33,960
Speaker 1: Texans legends, everybody's on fire for it. And the reports

89
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:37,680
Speaker 1: came out soon enough about assistance and Bobby Slowik as

90
00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:41,640
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator dre coming from that forty nine ers system.

91
00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:43,239
Speaker 1: You never know how he's going to put it together.

92
00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:46,240
Speaker 1: But your thoughts on where this offense can go, and again,

93
00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:48,920
Speaker 1: we don't really know a lot of the main participants,

94
00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:51,880
Speaker 1: and it's some of them like Damian Pierce, But your

95
00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:55,400
Speaker 1: thoughts so far and where this thing could go, Yeah,

96
00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:57,920
Speaker 1: I just I just want to see some competent offers.

97
00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:01,520
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, stuff that had some imagination to it,

98
00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:04,760
Speaker 1: that keeps the defense on its heels. An offense that

99
00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:08,719
Speaker 1: that attacks at times because you know, watching it huddle up,

100
00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:12,000
Speaker 1: break the huddle, find the mic, you know, call it,

101
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:15,679
Speaker 1: you're allowing the defense to have the advantage. In my eyes,

102
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:18,080
Speaker 1: And and there are some parts of a game that

103
00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:19,880
Speaker 1: you just need to go take over. You need to

104
00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:23,520
Speaker 1: just go run plays and and and attack the defense

105
00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:26,480
Speaker 1: and hopefully that's what that's what's coming to to the

106
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:31,040
Speaker 1: Texans offense this in twenty twenty three. Just some imagination.

107
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:35,760
Speaker 1: Uh No, wasted plays? Uh no, you know where you

108
00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:39,719
Speaker 1: get in a situation where you're predictable or first and

109
00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:42,440
Speaker 1: second down and then we know you're gonna throw on

110
00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:45,760
Speaker 1: third down, those types of situations where there's early down

111
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:49,919
Speaker 1: throws and and a lot to give a quarterback the

112
00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:54,360
Speaker 1: advantage going into a ball game. Dre with this offense,

113
00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:58,600
Speaker 1: got h Damian Peers coming back, Well, obviously we'll figure

114
00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:01,920
Speaker 1: out the quarterback situation. Um and you know you've got

115
00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:05,039
Speaker 1: two rock solid tackles and I thought they played pretty

116
00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:09,000
Speaker 1: well last year. What do you think this offense needs

117
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:12,800
Speaker 1: from a personnel standpoint? What's the what's the biggest thing?

118
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:15,640
Speaker 1: If you said, man, you've got one opportunity to make

119
00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:20,360
Speaker 1: one personnel adjustment, move, trade, draft, whatever, what would you

120
00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:23,680
Speaker 1: like to see this offense bring in? No coaches, just

121
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:26,919
Speaker 1: personnel players, somebody on the field that can do something

122
00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:28,880
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty three And it doesn't have to be

123
00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:31,320
Speaker 1: a specific player, but just what you want to see

124
00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:35,400
Speaker 1: this offense from a personnel standpoint, bring in uh man,

125
00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:38,400
Speaker 1: that's tough. A quarterback first, as you've men sure, but

126
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:41,560
Speaker 1: then a bona fide wide receiver somebody that can can

127
00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:44,800
Speaker 1: make place for him, and maybe multiple where you get

128
00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:49,000
Speaker 1: the situation with UH Smith and a J. Brown in

129
00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:53,120
Speaker 1: Philadelphia where you essentially have two number ones for a

130
00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:57,200
Speaker 1: young quarterback. I would still think the interior portion of

131
00:06:57,279 --> 00:06:59,640
Speaker 1: the offensive line, that's still an area that is a

132
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:02,360
Speaker 1: question mark in my eyes. So I would go offensive

133
00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:05,880
Speaker 1: line as well. Uh And in terms of drafting or

134
00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:09,120
Speaker 1: maybe bringing in some free agents to fill the interior

135
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:14,040
Speaker 1: portion in a center certainly um maybe two guards to

136
00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:17,080
Speaker 1: come in and compete as well, because that is that

137
00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:19,080
Speaker 1: was a question mark last year. There are times when

138
00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:21,880
Speaker 1: Green was in over his head as as a rookie.

139
00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:25,120
Speaker 1: Hopefully he makes a jump like a Jalen Hurts type

140
00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:27,600
Speaker 1: jump from one year one to year two as a

141
00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:30,320
Speaker 1: starter in this offense, and then that's a position that

142
00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:32,560
Speaker 1: you don't have to worry as much about. But I

143
00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:36,360
Speaker 1: still think the offensive line could could could could stand

144
00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:39,160
Speaker 1: an upgrade. And I think you've got some tight ends

145
00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:41,960
Speaker 1: that have some magic to them, that that have some

146
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:45,840
Speaker 1: playmaking ability that they get you. I know myself, gets

147
00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:48,760
Speaker 1: me pretty excited, all right, andre Ware with us. Okay,

148
00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:52,160
Speaker 1: as we delve deeper into the inexact science of the draft,

149
00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:55,720
Speaker 1: because who could have predicted brock Purty last year. But

150
00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:57,360
Speaker 1: let's talk about the guys at the top of this

151
00:07:57,440 --> 00:07:59,960
Speaker 1: draft and about Trevor Lawrence or no, we're not gonna

152
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:03,280
Speaker 1: talk about trefor Lawrence today. Now I refuse to talk

153
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:08,080
Speaker 1: about trefor Laws today. You guys are going to stick

154
00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:11,000
Speaker 1: your chests out about Trevor Lawrence today, and you should. Okay,

155
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:13,360
Speaker 1: but this is an ongoing process. The game is not

156
00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:18,480
Speaker 1: over until it's over until I say it's over all right,

157
00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:21,320
Speaker 1: here we go. But the quarterbacks of this draft, andre

158
00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:25,640
Speaker 1: because we are in the pre draft crazy season where

159
00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:27,840
Speaker 1: no games are being played, but there are a lot

160
00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:31,360
Speaker 1: of narratives shaping up. There was a tweet of Mina

161
00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:35,360
Speaker 1: Kimes and Bryce Young standing next to each other and

162
00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:39,400
Speaker 1: he wasn't that much taller than her, and everyone's freaking

163
00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:42,120
Speaker 1: out about that, and she says, I'm wearing four inch

164
00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:44,520
Speaker 1: heels like she doubled down on the tweet, and it's

165
00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:46,000
Speaker 1: just I mean, I don't know what to make of

166
00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:48,240
Speaker 1: all this stuff. But let's talk about Bryce and what

167
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:51,800
Speaker 1: he brings to the table. For whatever team gets him. Well,

168
00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:57,640
Speaker 1: a lot of starting experience, a lot of playmaking ability

169
00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:01,280
Speaker 1: given the time necessary, and he can he can play

170
00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:03,160
Speaker 1: off schedule as well when you flush him out of

171
00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:07,520
Speaker 1: the pocket. Extremely smart with the football, takes care of it.

172
00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:10,480
Speaker 1: I think he has enough arm strength. That's going to

173
00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:12,200
Speaker 1: be a question mark though, but I think he can

174
00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:15,480
Speaker 1: make every throw, especially in the type of offense that's

175
00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:19,080
Speaker 1: coming to the Texans in terms of that West Coast

176
00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:22,800
Speaker 1: kind of style. And and you know, the zone running

177
00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:24,960
Speaker 1: scheme I think will be back in play here in

178
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:28,120
Speaker 1: Houston that it had so much success here in the past.

179
00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:30,800
Speaker 1: I think that'll be on display again and I think

180
00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:34,280
Speaker 1: Pierce will benefit greatly from that. But you know, with

181
00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:37,920
Speaker 1: Bryce Young, you get all those intangibles, it's just can

182
00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:41,200
Speaker 1: he stay healthy with his size? And then there's you know,

183
00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:44,760
Speaker 1: people are going to whether Fara or not comparing size

184
00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:49,120
Speaker 1: wise to Tuah, who is a much thicker, muscled up

185
00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:52,680
Speaker 1: type of body than than Bryce Young. And Tuah has

186
00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:56,120
Speaker 1: just suffered from injury after injury, which is why you

187
00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:58,560
Speaker 1: have to protect the young quarterback. I mean, if there's

188
00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:02,480
Speaker 1: anything this franchise is learn is that you must protect

189
00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:05,720
Speaker 1: a young quarterback that you're drafting very very high in

190
00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:08,320
Speaker 1: the draft, and so I think if it's if it

191
00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:10,520
Speaker 1: happens to be Bryce Young, that's certainly going to be

192
00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:13,319
Speaker 1: the number one thing that you have to do is

193
00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:17,280
Speaker 1: protect him upfront where you can see all the outstanding

194
00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:20,160
Speaker 1: athletic traits. But say that the Texans are going to

195
00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:22,880
Speaker 1: draft a quarterback at some point, but they want to

196
00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:26,600
Speaker 1: have This is me speaking, I'm just creating this scenario

197
00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:28,880
Speaker 1: that they want to have a bridge quarterback, Dre and

198
00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:30,000
Speaker 1: I know there are a few that you and I

199
00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:33,839
Speaker 1: have talked about. But you have to pick between these two.

200
00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:38,480
Speaker 1: Which one would you take as a bridge quarterback for

201
00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:42,680
Speaker 1: I don't know, maybe a year, maybe longer. Either Jimmy

202
00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:47,400
Speaker 1: Garoppolo or Jacoby Brissette ultim are free agents. Which one

203
00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:50,080
Speaker 1: would you like and which one you think would fit?

204
00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:53,080
Speaker 1: Obviously the San Francisco connection, but maybe that means you

205
00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:56,680
Speaker 1: maybe I don't want Jimmy Garoppolo. Jimmy Garoppolo or Jacoby

206
00:10:57,160 --> 00:10:59,719
Speaker 1: Is the money equal? Yeah? Money equal? They both want

207
00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:02,079
Speaker 1: to come here. Okay, you got to pick between the

208
00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:06,560
Speaker 1: all things being equal, Jacoby Brissette or Jimmy Garopolo. Get

209
00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:10,400
Speaker 1: me Garoppolo is not even close for me. You're talking

210
00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:13,400
Speaker 1: about a proven winner. Mark knows how I feel about

211
00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:17,120
Speaker 1: Garoppolo if being healthy, that's dating back to when before

212
00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:20,880
Speaker 1: he was drafted. Um. I just think he's got something

213
00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:22,959
Speaker 1: about him if he If he's healthy, he's as good

214
00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:25,440
Speaker 1: as he gets. They were on a tear. When you

215
00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:28,839
Speaker 1: know they lose Grey Lance, Garoppolo steps in, they don't

216
00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:31,720
Speaker 1: miss a beat. You to. You mentioned the familiarity with

217
00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:34,480
Speaker 1: the offense that they run in San Francisco. It's coming

218
00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:37,840
Speaker 1: to Houston. He's already up to speed on that. That's

219
00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:40,640
Speaker 1: the bridge quarterback that you want because you don't have

220
00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:42,480
Speaker 1: to really teach him the system. He comes in and

221
00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:46,319
Speaker 1: he's able to help everybody else around him learn the system.

222
00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:49,440
Speaker 1: And that's an extra benefit to what you want to do.

223
00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:51,199
Speaker 1: So I think all those things need to be taken

224
00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:54,040
Speaker 1: into account. Yeah, I know he would be give me

225
00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:57,240
Speaker 1: Garoppolo for me, hands down. Yeah. I know you've always

226
00:11:57,240 --> 00:11:59,880
Speaker 1: liked him, Trey, ever since you looked at that take

227
00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:04,160
Speaker 1: pre draft of Jimmy Garoppolo. So we'll see where that goes,

228
00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:06,160
Speaker 1: all right, Another guy who was available in that draft

229
00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:08,800
Speaker 1: is available now for anybody who wants him, and again

230
00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:11,720
Speaker 1: from a general perspective, not just the Texans, but he's

231
00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:14,719
Speaker 1: gonna end up somewhere. Derek Carr thoughts on Derek as

232
00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:16,680
Speaker 1: he's out there in the open market, what he brings

233
00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:20,200
Speaker 1: to a team. Yeah, Johnny and I talked about this

234
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:23,439
Speaker 1: a little bit. I like it. I like just him

235
00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:26,080
Speaker 1: as a player. I like you know, him being back

236
00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:29,160
Speaker 1: here in Houston and that story, it's a great story

237
00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:32,679
Speaker 1: kind of comes full circle for that he and that family.

238
00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:35,679
Speaker 1: I just I just like what he's done on the

239
00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:38,160
Speaker 1: field and as a raider, owns just about every passing

240
00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:42,840
Speaker 1: record and franchise history. There just unfortunate how a guy

241
00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:46,040
Speaker 1: can come into a job and then not win or

242
00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:51,440
Speaker 1: prove himself and then exodus the quarterback puts him out

243
00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:54,160
Speaker 1: to pasture and you know all of what he's done

244
00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:57,920
Speaker 1: for the franchise. It's it's amazing unfair, but it is

245
00:12:57,960 --> 00:13:00,280
Speaker 1: a business. We talk about that all the time. I

246
00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:03,800
Speaker 1: love the way Derek could play, I love what he brings.

247
00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:08,640
Speaker 1: I love all the intangibles, the leadership, how guys follow him. Um,

248
00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:11,360
Speaker 1: that wouldn't be a bad one. Hid Now, if you

249
00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:14,280
Speaker 1: gave me all three of those, that would that would

250
00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:16,560
Speaker 1: make it tough between Derek car and Jimmy Garoppolo. It

251
00:13:16,559 --> 00:13:20,520
Speaker 1: really would. Okay, so let me present this case. Let's

252
00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:23,240
Speaker 1: say that they do go out. Let's let's say the

253
00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:25,800
Speaker 1: Texas did go out and made a deal with Derek Carr. Right,

254
00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:28,720
Speaker 1: what do you do with pick two? Do you still

255
00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:30,720
Speaker 1: go quarterback? Or do you just say no, we got

256
00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:33,800
Speaker 1: our guy. We're gonna go with Jalen Carter. We're gonna

257
00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:36,760
Speaker 1: go with Willanderson Junior at two. I got my vote,

258
00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:40,679
Speaker 1: and then, I mean, knowing, knowing more than likely, the

259
00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:43,200
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four has got some stuck quarterbacks. If things

260
00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:45,800
Speaker 1: just fall through the grates with Derek for some reason,

261
00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:49,440
Speaker 1: there you go again next year's class. So I'm just

262
00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:54,160
Speaker 1: always thinking about Castile. What did Castiley always say, Hey, see,

263
00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:57,760
Speaker 1: can't have too many quarterbacks? See hey, that's exactly right.

264
00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:00,600
Speaker 1: So what would you do? I'd take one at two.

265
00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:04,160
Speaker 1: I would sign Derek Carr the second pick in the

266
00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:06,880
Speaker 1: first round, I'm going in a different direction. And then

267
00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:09,760
Speaker 1: later way down the line, fourth fifth round, I'm gonna

268
00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:13,360
Speaker 1: probably take another one that's fallen into that round, maybe

269
00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:17,880
Speaker 1: a guy like, uh, what's the kid at Florida, Anthony Richardson.

270
00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:21,560
Speaker 1: I can't Richardson if he falls in the draft, I

271
00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:23,880
Speaker 1: doubt it. But if he falls that far, that's the

272
00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:25,800
Speaker 1: guy I'm scooping up. And then we all we go

273
00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:28,640
Speaker 1: to camp with a pretty good quarterback row. How about this,

274
00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:31,760
Speaker 1: if you if you sign a Derek or a Jimmy,

275
00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:34,800
Speaker 1: you take one of the two defensive guys in two,

276
00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:39,680
Speaker 1: Jenlan Carter, will Anderson, and at twelve, it's it probably

277
00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:41,800
Speaker 1: is early to take Richardson, but I gotta feeling somebody's

278
00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:43,600
Speaker 1: gonna grab him, because you know how this time of

279
00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:46,280
Speaker 1: year is the stock rises and oh my gosh, and

280
00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:50,080
Speaker 1: somebody's gonna take him. Uh and maybe if you know

281
00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:52,520
Speaker 1: the hell that would there would be to pay if

282
00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:55,520
Speaker 1: a quarterback wasn't take him at number two at this franchise.

283
00:14:55,920 --> 00:14:58,240
Speaker 1: It well, that's why I asked the question. That's why

284
00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:00,200
Speaker 1: I asked the question, because you know the hell that

285
00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:05,960
Speaker 1: there will be whoever drafted that guy. I mean, I

286
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:09,680
Speaker 1: don't care who it is. You couldn't survive in this city.

287
00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:13,560
Speaker 1: I could not survive even if it works. The months

288
00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:15,640
Speaker 1: that it would take to prove that it's gonna work.

289
00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:20,080
Speaker 1: It's almost like that that's not even worth. But that's

290
00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:23,000
Speaker 1: why I asked the question with the caveat that is

291
00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:27,280
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four has got some super studs. But unfortunately,

292
00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:29,320
Speaker 1: I think I think it is my opinion because the

293
00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:33,240
Speaker 1: last couple of years and we haven't seen the quarterback play.

294
00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:35,680
Speaker 1: After the quarterback play we did see, we didn't see

295
00:15:35,680 --> 00:15:38,520
Speaker 1: it for another couple of years. That Okay, we're clamoring

296
00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:40,800
Speaker 1: for a quarterback and we want a young guy. We

297
00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:42,200
Speaker 1: want to build with a guy and that's the guy

298
00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:43,840
Speaker 1: we want to we want to grow with, and we

299
00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:45,240
Speaker 1: think we could do that with a number two pick

300
00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:47,440
Speaker 1: in the draft. But you get Derek Carr. I might.

301
00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:50,360
Speaker 1: I might take Jyleen Carter at two or Anderson at two,

302
00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:52,640
Speaker 1: and then go look at Richardson at twelve. Maybe move

303
00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:54,360
Speaker 1: up if I have to. Andrea, I have a term

304
00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:57,240
Speaker 1: for what Johnny has. It's called next year goggles. Next

305
00:15:57,280 --> 00:16:00,560
Speaker 1: year goggles, next year's draft class goggles. I'm looking at

306
00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:04,720
Speaker 1: it through those goggles. Well, just look at it like this.

307
00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:07,520
Speaker 1: Looking with the Kansas there's a model the Kansas City

308
00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:10,880
Speaker 1: Chiefs did Mahomes sat for how long till the final

309
00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:15,400
Speaker 1: game of his rookie year and then they unveiled him

310
00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:19,840
Speaker 1: and the bridge quarterback was Alex Smith. There needs to

311
00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:22,080
Speaker 1: be somebody so you see how it's done. I don't

312
00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:24,960
Speaker 1: care at what point you start a rookie quarterback where

313
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:28,280
Speaker 1: you make him you know, half the year or it's uh,

314
00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:30,800
Speaker 1: you know, the final game of his rookie year. Some

315
00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:33,400
Speaker 1: point he's got to play in that first year if

316
00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:37,160
Speaker 1: you're clearly out of the playoffs. But then you need

317
00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:40,480
Speaker 1: somebody with some experience that kind of taught him leading

318
00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:43,280
Speaker 1: the way into the season in case he gets hurt,

319
00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:45,920
Speaker 1: in case something goes bad, you can go right back

320
00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:48,680
Speaker 1: and you don't fall off as far as if you know,

321
00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:51,800
Speaker 1: you just purely go rookie quarterbacks and there's no other

322
00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:55,040
Speaker 1: experience veteran on the team. So that's why I say

323
00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:57,840
Speaker 1: you could sign a veteran and still take a quarterback

324
00:16:58,120 --> 00:17:01,280
Speaker 1: at number two and and and be okay and just

325
00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:03,800
Speaker 1: put a stamp on that position, as in, we're not

326
00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:09,240
Speaker 1: going to try and fill the gay fitz offense, and

327
00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:12,160
Speaker 1: no of fitzy guys like Fitzier, Hoyer or Mallet or whatever.

328
00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:16,440
Speaker 1: But we just spent years without doing that, And I

329
00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:18,920
Speaker 1: don't want to say wasted good years. But I mean

330
00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:22,159
Speaker 1: in twenty fourteen, you know Fitzies, you know, bouncing around

331
00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:24,040
Speaker 1: doing his thing, and Wat's putting together one of the

332
00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:26,800
Speaker 1: greatest defensive seasons of all time and we can only

333
00:17:26,840 --> 00:17:29,320
Speaker 1: finish nine to seven because we didn't get you know,

334
00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:32,080
Speaker 1: consistent quarterback play throughout. I wonder if you could get

335
00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:34,439
Speaker 1: Rick Smith and Bill O'Brien in a chamber and give

336
00:17:34,520 --> 00:17:39,160
Speaker 1: them truth serum, no hindsight for them for those gentlemen

337
00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:42,239
Speaker 1: looking at that draft, would they have to break them

338
00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:47,440
Speaker 1: up first? Like separate chambers? So, but if you could

339
00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:50,199
Speaker 1: ask them, like would you take Garoppolo top of the

340
00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:54,040
Speaker 1: second round now or Derek Carr now like like hindsight

341
00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:56,800
Speaker 1: instead of Xavier Sufilo. Take one of those two guys

342
00:17:57,160 --> 00:17:59,879
Speaker 1: and just let them go and you have Fitzy, but

343
00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:01,800
Speaker 1: you have one of those guys to develop for a

344
00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:04,400
Speaker 1: year and then and then that would start well that's

345
00:18:04,440 --> 00:18:08,439
Speaker 1: what I wanted. That's where that would end up going.

346
00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:12,560
Speaker 1: Nobody's gonna own it if they even if they agree right,

347
00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:15,239
Speaker 1: somebody wanted the other guy. If it doesn't work. I mean,

348
00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:19,960
Speaker 1: there's so many discussions I would imagine between general manager, scouts, coaches,

349
00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:24,240
Speaker 1: head coach. Everything gets brought up at some point. You know, hey,

350
00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:26,400
Speaker 1: well what about what about this thought? What about this thought?

351
00:18:26,520 --> 00:18:30,639
Speaker 1: Somebody brought that thought up at some at some point.

352
00:18:31,119 --> 00:18:33,879
Speaker 1: I would imagine it happens to every every draft that

353
00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:35,960
Speaker 1: you You bring up those thoughts and then you kind

354
00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:37,960
Speaker 1: of quickly move on to something else. Well, as many

355
00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:40,879
Speaker 1: scenarios are painted if this guy goes or this guy's

356
00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:42,960
Speaker 1: here that you know, so on and so forth, and

357
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:46,399
Speaker 1: then the surprises within the draft that they happen, Uh,

358
00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:49,760
Speaker 1: you have to know that that that happened, that scenario

359
00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:52,840
Speaker 1: was painted at some point. Dre. This topic has come

360
00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:56,680
Speaker 1: up this week. The play where it's a quarterback sneak

361
00:18:56,800 --> 00:19:00,560
Speaker 1: and the entire brigade of players gets behind and pushes

362
00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:06,200
Speaker 1: him over the necessary yardage line. That is going to

363
00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:09,440
Speaker 1: be looked at by the rules officials, the rules committee,

364
00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:14,080
Speaker 1: competition committee this offseason. Your thoughts, should that be outlawed

365
00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:16,800
Speaker 1: to be able to push the player forward from behind?

366
00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:19,320
Speaker 1: And they're also looking at hey, a running backs five

367
00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:21,480
Speaker 1: yards downfield, he kind of gets stacked up but not

368
00:19:21,560 --> 00:19:24,479
Speaker 1: quite stopped, and then somebody pushes from behind them they

369
00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:28,399
Speaker 1: get an extra three four yards. That's kind of dangerous

370
00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:31,080
Speaker 1: to the thought of some your thoughts and whether that

371
00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:34,280
Speaker 1: should be quote outlawed or not. I think it should

372
00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:38,520
Speaker 1: be outlawed. I've never liked it. I look at it

373
00:19:38,560 --> 00:19:40,480
Speaker 1: from this standpoint. What if you're being what if you're

374
00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:42,560
Speaker 1: pushing because guys just put their heads down and they

375
00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:44,840
Speaker 1: just push, right. Yeah. What if a guy's leg is

376
00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:48,240
Speaker 1: caught under somebody and he's being pushed and twisted in

377
00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:51,280
Speaker 1: a manner in which if that weren't being that weren't

378
00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:55,040
Speaker 1: allowed you stop an injury from happening. And it's just

379
00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:58,160
Speaker 1: it's almost like it's waiting. We're waiting to see it,

380
00:19:58,520 --> 00:20:01,359
Speaker 1: and we need to stop it before happened. I would

381
00:20:01,359 --> 00:20:03,600
Speaker 1: be totally fine if they outlawed it. And I think

382
00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:06,359
Speaker 1: what's interesting, Dre is, for a long time, back of

383
00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:09,240
Speaker 1: the day when we were playing, you couldn't aid a

384
00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:12,320
Speaker 1: runner in any way, shape or form, good, no doubt,

385
00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:14,240
Speaker 1: no doubt about it. And so I don't know why

386
00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:18,240
Speaker 1: that's changed, because I would think with the emphasis on safety, Yeah,

387
00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:20,880
Speaker 1: this is the I mean, this is a rugby scrum

388
00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:22,960
Speaker 1: with dudes with pads on it flies in the face

389
00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:25,639
Speaker 1: of safety. Yeah, exactly. It doesn't feel right day I'm

390
00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:28,480
Speaker 1: gonna ask you a kind of an odd question, whether

391
00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:31,680
Speaker 1: it's an NFL draft prospect or a guy that's going

392
00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:35,520
Speaker 1: back to college. Of the games that you did this

393
00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:38,280
Speaker 1: year and you had, you had some some bang up

394
00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:42,679
Speaker 1: Friday night games, you saw some serious talent. Who is

395
00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:47,160
Speaker 1: probably the best player that you saw throughout the season

396
00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:49,920
Speaker 1: on your Friday night games. Again, whether it's a guy

397
00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:51,960
Speaker 1: going to the NFL Draft, or whether it's a guy

398
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:54,560
Speaker 1: that's going back for another year, who was the best

399
00:20:54,600 --> 00:20:58,359
Speaker 1: overall player that you saw in twenty twenty two. Michael

400
00:20:58,359 --> 00:21:03,840
Speaker 1: Pennox junior for me, quarterback of you dub. I was shocked,

401
00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:08,119
Speaker 1: somewhat disappointed all of it, because I knew he was

402
00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:11,359
Speaker 1: just fly up draft boards. Once teams got a chance

403
00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:13,920
Speaker 1: to work him out, got a chance to sit down

404
00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:17,399
Speaker 1: with him, once they knew the injury history was. It

405
00:21:17,520 --> 00:21:22,320
Speaker 1: seems as though is behind him. He is just I'm

406
00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:25,439
Speaker 1: telling you, I don't know that I've seen many that

407
00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:29,080
Speaker 1: can touch every single inch of a football field with

408
00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:33,879
Speaker 1: every single throw. He is that good, he is that talented,

409
00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:37,760
Speaker 1: and he will he will assert himself as a top five,

410
00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:41,280
Speaker 1: maybe even the number one overall pick if he's able

411
00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:44,119
Speaker 1: to stay healthy and prove that he can do that

412
00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:47,160
Speaker 1: two consecutive years. That's the only that's the only question

413
00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:50,560
Speaker 1: mark you have with Michael Pennox is his health. But

414
00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:52,199
Speaker 1: if he does it two years in a row, you

415
00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:54,600
Speaker 1: can't deny it. And he's going to be somebody's top

416
00:21:54,600 --> 00:21:56,840
Speaker 1: five picks a quarterback next year. I don't know his

417
00:21:56,960 --> 00:22:00,960
Speaker 1: personal situation, but don't you think the nil he take

418
00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:03,640
Speaker 1: it comes into play with some of these guys staying

419
00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:06,040
Speaker 1: in school who aren't going to be top five picks

420
00:22:06,119 --> 00:22:11,200
Speaker 1: necessary as absolutely, I A lot of guys are making

421
00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:14,320
Speaker 1: or making more money staying in than they would make

422
00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:17,000
Speaker 1: going into the draft, and then some of them, you know,

423
00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:20,399
Speaker 1: and then you got a chance to better your draft stock,

424
00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:24,480
Speaker 1: to get yourself more money because you played an extra

425
00:22:24,560 --> 00:22:27,040
Speaker 1: year in college. So he is certainly going to be

426
00:22:27,040 --> 00:22:29,560
Speaker 1: one of those that benefits in that. Man, it wasn't

427
00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:31,280
Speaker 1: It wasn't Panicks that I can't remember who it was,

428
00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:32,720
Speaker 1: but I read an article there was a quarterback that

429
00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:35,919
Speaker 1: ended up going back and I guess he had. You know,

430
00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:40,240
Speaker 1: these players have the opportunity to get feedback from the

431
00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:43,000
Speaker 1: NFL as to where they would go into draft, and

432
00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:45,439
Speaker 1: he got feedback that he was I can't remember it

433
00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:48,320
Speaker 1: was day three and say they said day three. He

434
00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:50,080
Speaker 1: had already decided he was gonna stay, but he wanted

435
00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:51,959
Speaker 1: to see what the feedback would be from the NFL.

436
00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:54,879
Speaker 1: And he went and he looked, and his nil deal

437
00:22:55,320 --> 00:22:59,400
Speaker 1: that he had was more profitable than what he would

438
00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:02,000
Speaker 1: have made as a Day three pick in the NFL.

439
00:23:02,240 --> 00:23:04,720
Speaker 1: Is that Rattler? Maybe? Where would Rattler go in this draft?

440
00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:11,440
Speaker 1: He's so complicated, Okay, I mean he is so complicated.

441
00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:15,359
Speaker 1: If Michael Pinnox came out and was a Day three

442
00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:19,600
Speaker 1: pick and he was still there, I might drive the

443
00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:24,640
Speaker 1: NRG stadium, bust into the draft room and hop on

444
00:23:24,680 --> 00:23:28,520
Speaker 1: the tape and give my sales pick from Michael Pinnock.

445
00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:31,400
Speaker 1: That's after you've taken one in the first round. Yeah,

446
00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:33,320
Speaker 1: come back and get him in the in the you

447
00:23:33,359 --> 00:23:36,240
Speaker 1: know whatever, third fourth round, that third day or whatever

448
00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:39,240
Speaker 1: day that is that you're picking. That's the guy I

449
00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:42,880
Speaker 1: would start clamoring for on Day three, no doubt about it. Dre.

450
00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:46,760
Speaker 1: How's your offseason coaching going? Oh? Getting ready to get started.

451
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:50,520
Speaker 1: And as a little disappointed last night because we held

452
00:23:50,520 --> 00:23:53,040
Speaker 1: a practice and a couple of guys, weren't there that

453
00:23:53,080 --> 00:23:55,440
Speaker 1: I expected to be there. So we'll we'll have an

454
00:23:55,560 --> 00:23:59,280
Speaker 1: in depth talk about that, myself and the parents. We'll understand.

455
00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:01,679
Speaker 1: We'll get a your understanding of how important it is

456
00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:04,200
Speaker 1: to be at practice. Oh boy if we won't playing time,

457
00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:07,479
Speaker 1: Oh boy, I just we need to you up. We

458
00:24:07,560 --> 00:24:11,240
Speaker 1: need to do a feature on a hoops game. Mike

459
00:24:11,359 --> 00:24:16,280
Speaker 1: him up. Oh yeah, let's buckle up, everybody. H dre

460
00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:19,479
Speaker 1: great to visit and we'll have many more. Looking forward

461

Speaker 1: to it and best of luck with the team. Always

462
00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:24,280
Speaker 1: good to chat with you guys. Looking forward to to

463
00:24:24,359 --> 00:24:26,920
Speaker 1: the draft coming up and uh and all the other

464
00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:29,960
Speaker 1: stuff that the offseason brings. Man and three of us

465
00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:31,800
Speaker 1: can get going. Man, that was really really fun. I'm

466
00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:36,520
Speaker 1: Gladrey joined us, and obviously that would be incredible. I mean,

467
00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:40,399
Speaker 1: Andrea ware coach Cam signed me up. I can't film it,

468
00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:42,800
Speaker 1: but man, I would try, like you know what, to

469
00:24:42,840 --> 00:24:45,040
Speaker 1: produce it. That's for sure. All right, Mark's gonna stick

470
00:24:45,080 --> 00:24:48,159
Speaker 1: with me. One are the Texans gonna do at number twelve.

471
00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:50,560
Speaker 1: It's kind of based out of a conversation to have

472
00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:53,440
Speaker 1: with Ron's show, hugely leaving, he leaving the studio and

473
00:24:53,480 --> 00:24:55,760
Speaker 1: me going into studio on Thursday nights. We'll talk about

474
00:24:55,760 --> 00:24:58,800
Speaker 1: that next right here in Texans lexis Welcome back to

475
00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:03,359
Speaker 1: Friday edition of Texans All Access. Mark and I John Harris,

476
00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:05,720
Speaker 1: your host, back together. Mark, we're gonna figure out what

477
00:25:05,720 --> 00:25:08,000
Speaker 1: we're doing with number twelve in the draft. All right,

478
00:25:08,080 --> 00:25:12,119
Speaker 1: let's do it. We're figuring out what we want to do. Okay,

479
00:25:12,280 --> 00:25:15,760
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna say want in need. Those are two

480
00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:20,840
Speaker 1: obvious separate things. I'm gonna ask you. You have to

481
00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:24,840
Speaker 1: give me a player, but a position that you want.

482
00:25:25,960 --> 00:25:29,040
Speaker 1: And is that the same as what we need at

483
00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:31,040
Speaker 1: pick number twelve? Because I think at number two we're

484
00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:33,520
Speaker 1: gonna talk about that a lot. Okay, Number two probably

485
00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:35,960
Speaker 1: probably a quarterback, but we never know. But let me

486
00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:39,919
Speaker 1: ask you a question here, Okay, do you have whether

487
00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:43,560
Speaker 1: it's through free agency or the number two pick, do

488
00:25:43,560 --> 00:25:45,919
Speaker 1: you have your quarterback situation by the time you get

489
00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:51,320
Speaker 1: to twelve in this context today's show, Friday, February seventeenth,

490
00:25:51,359 --> 00:25:54,040
Speaker 1: do you have your quarterback situation set by the time

491
00:25:54,040 --> 00:25:57,000
Speaker 1: you pick a number twelve? Yes, the quarterback situation is set. Okay,

492
00:25:57,040 --> 00:25:59,399
Speaker 1: the quarterback situation is set. So now we're moving on

493
00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:04,680
Speaker 1: to another other need satisfaction needs slash wants. Okay, I'll

494
00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:07,080
Speaker 1: give you this. This is this is kind of coming

495
00:26:07,119 --> 00:26:10,640
Speaker 1: out of a conversation that right before our show last night,

496
00:26:10,720 --> 00:26:14,800
Speaker 1: we were walking in the studio and as we walked in,

497
00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:17,719
Speaker 1: ronis sure Hue stopped and goes, oh, you guy want

498
00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:19,160
Speaker 1: to see? And I was like, oh, what I do?

499
00:26:19,760 --> 00:26:25,280
Speaker 1: And he posed the question about Bijean Robinson running back

500
00:26:25,800 --> 00:26:28,879
Speaker 1: slash weapon X because he can do more than be

501
00:26:28,920 --> 00:26:31,760
Speaker 1: a running back at number twelve. And I've seen this

502
00:26:31,800 --> 00:26:33,880
Speaker 1: pop up now on Twitter a couple of times real

503
00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:38,040
Speaker 1: today about Bijean Robinson at number twelve for the Texans.

504
00:26:38,680 --> 00:26:42,680
Speaker 1: Now six foot two hundred twenty two, excellent pass receiver skills,

505
00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:45,920
Speaker 1: He's electric. Here's the player I have comped him too,

506
00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:51,359
Speaker 1: all right, Saints do it all threat Alvin Kamara. That's

507
00:26:51,359 --> 00:26:54,520
Speaker 1: a heck of a player to compare him too. And

508
00:26:54,920 --> 00:26:57,040
Speaker 1: I would love that, Johnny, but I don't think in

509
00:26:57,080 --> 00:26:59,440
Speaker 1: the Texans situation they can afford to do that. They

510
00:26:59,440 --> 00:27:01,680
Speaker 1: can't afford to spend the number twelve pick on the

511
00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:05,439
Speaker 1: draft on Bijon because as much as you'd love to

512
00:27:05,480 --> 00:27:07,399
Speaker 1: have them, you have other things that you'd love to

513
00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:11,239
Speaker 1: have and need you need help along the front defensively. Now.

514
00:27:11,240 --> 00:27:13,720
Speaker 1: I know they'll probably get some free agent help as well,

515
00:27:14,040 --> 00:27:16,600
Speaker 1: but come on, you need interior help in the offensive line.

516
00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:20,000
Speaker 1: We were talking about corner last night. Probably not something

517
00:27:20,040 --> 00:27:22,359
Speaker 1: he needed twelve, like you're gonna need it eventually in

518
00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:25,000
Speaker 1: the top three rounds. Let me say this at corner

519
00:27:25,119 --> 00:27:28,480
Speaker 1: because chillips I think that Kim. I think it was Yeah,

520
00:27:28,560 --> 00:27:33,480
Speaker 1: somebody somebody had asked about that, and I failed to

521
00:27:33,560 --> 00:27:35,639
Speaker 1: say one other thing, and I thought about it all

522
00:27:35,640 --> 00:27:38,200
Speaker 1: the way home, and I was like a from Illinois. Yeah,

523
00:27:38,320 --> 00:27:40,679
Speaker 1: Devin Witherspoon was the guy that he suggested. It's not

524
00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:43,960
Speaker 1: so much Devin Witherspoon. Although I like Devin Witherspoon and

525
00:27:44,119 --> 00:27:45,920
Speaker 1: twelve is about right. I think he's gonna be like

526
00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:48,439
Speaker 1: fifteen sixteen for me and the harrismon hundred. There's not

527
00:27:48,440 --> 00:27:51,680
Speaker 1: really so much about Devin Witherspoon as a player. It's

528
00:27:51,720 --> 00:27:53,720
Speaker 1: more about a You put a lot of resources in

529
00:27:53,800 --> 00:27:55,960
Speaker 1: last year. You signed Stephen Nelson to two year deal,

530
00:27:56,040 --> 00:27:58,520
Speaker 1: so he's coming back. You also drafted Derek Stingingly number

531
00:27:58,520 --> 00:28:05,840
Speaker 1: three overall. On that This cornerback class is unbelievable. So

532
00:28:05,880 --> 00:28:07,520
Speaker 1: if you throw that in on top of the fact

533
00:28:07,520 --> 00:28:10,840
Speaker 1: that you do have other needs, I don't think corner

534
00:28:10,880 --> 00:28:13,399
Speaker 1: is the way that you go, especially the fact that

535
00:28:13,440 --> 00:28:15,239
Speaker 1: you can get if you want a corner, you can

536
00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:17,680
Speaker 1: get a starting corner at sixty five or seventy three.

537
00:28:17,680 --> 00:28:19,760
Speaker 1: I can promise you you'll get a starting corner at

538
00:28:19,760 --> 00:28:22,560
Speaker 1: sixty five or seventy three eventually, maybe not this year,

539
00:28:22,640 --> 00:28:24,800
Speaker 1: giving what you already have there, but you'll have a

540
00:28:24,800 --> 00:28:27,600
Speaker 1: corner in this draft that you can get a sixty

541
00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:30,159
Speaker 1: five or seventy three that will be a contributor, no doubt,

542
00:28:30,520 --> 00:28:32,880
Speaker 1: in his first seventeen games in the league. So that

543
00:28:32,920 --> 00:28:34,639
Speaker 1: was that was the other thing with corner. So I

544
00:28:34,760 --> 00:28:37,080
Speaker 1: took corner off the board at twelve, and I'm taking

545
00:28:37,119 --> 00:28:39,720
Speaker 1: off for those particular reasons. You know where Robinson's going.

546
00:28:39,880 --> 00:28:42,080
Speaker 1: He's going to one of these good teams at the

547
00:28:42,120 --> 00:28:45,000
Speaker 1: bottom of the first round, picking a little bit late,

548
00:28:45,160 --> 00:28:48,240
Speaker 1: like I wouldn't be surprised. Maybe the Cowboys, right with

549
00:28:48,320 --> 00:28:51,240
Speaker 1: their current running situation the way it is Pollard getting

550
00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:53,960
Speaker 1: back to the injuries who he was, I would hate

551
00:28:53,960 --> 00:28:58,000
Speaker 1: that horrible from Longhorns to the Cowboys. Although there's something

552
00:28:58,040 --> 00:29:02,240
Speaker 1: fitting about that. I won't get into details regarding that.

553
00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:04,240
Speaker 1: I see one mocked at as Robinson going to the

554
00:29:04,280 --> 00:29:07,200
Speaker 1: Philadelphia Eagles. Interesting. That would make sense because they're losing

555
00:29:07,240 --> 00:29:09,000
Speaker 1: Miles Sanders and they'd love to run the ball a

556
00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:11,120
Speaker 1: lot better than they did the Super Bowl. Of course,

557
00:29:11,560 --> 00:29:14,640
Speaker 1: so obviously Jalen Hurts runs the ball well, but they

558
00:29:14,640 --> 00:29:17,239
Speaker 1: need other guys to do it along with him, or

559
00:29:17,280 --> 00:29:21,400
Speaker 1: instead of him, or more than he does. So look,

560
00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:24,840
Speaker 1: if the quarterback situation is set, you know, man, Tyree

561
00:29:24,880 --> 00:29:28,800
Speaker 1: Wilson's gone, isn't he. Your guys are right, He's gone, gone, gone,

562
00:29:28,840 --> 00:29:32,520
Speaker 1: He's gone. So who's gonna drop? Somebody's gonna drop. Oh,

563
00:29:32,560 --> 00:29:34,479
Speaker 1: by the way, one of the guys from CBS Sports,

564
00:29:34,520 --> 00:29:38,880
Speaker 1: Christo Trepasso, do you see what he did at number

565
00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:42,720
Speaker 1: one overall? No, he had the cults moving up to

566
00:29:42,840 --> 00:29:47,719
Speaker 1: number one to take Jalen Carter. Anthony Richardson, what are

567
00:29:47,760 --> 00:29:52,000
Speaker 1: you doing? I applauded, I applauded, But the Giants called

568
00:29:52,280 --> 00:29:55,040
Speaker 1: and said that was aggressive after they took Daniel Jones

569
00:29:55,080 --> 00:29:58,400
Speaker 1: when they didn't. You know how I feel about Anthony Richardson.

570
00:29:58,880 --> 00:30:03,520
Speaker 1: He is good, is so overwhelmingly good, like I mean

571
00:30:03,520 --> 00:30:06,080
Speaker 1: you fall in love. I mean he is he is

572
00:30:06,160 --> 00:30:11,640
Speaker 1: the the hot significant other syndrome. He is Yeah, and

573
00:30:11,720 --> 00:30:13,480
Speaker 1: you wake up and you're like, oh, oh my gosh,

574
00:30:13,520 --> 00:30:16,240
Speaker 1: the abs to this that, And then the next day

575
00:30:16,280 --> 00:30:19,720
Speaker 1: you're like, why did I even think about it? I mean,

576
00:30:19,760 --> 00:30:23,080
Speaker 1: it's that's it's that way for Richardson. I applaud them

577
00:30:23,080 --> 00:30:26,320
Speaker 1: for thinking outside the box. And Shane Styke and I

578
00:30:26,360 --> 00:30:28,960
Speaker 1: can see them saying, wow, look Styke and has taken

579
00:30:29,080 --> 00:30:32,000
Speaker 1: quarterbacks and taking them from what they were and turn

580
00:30:32,080 --> 00:30:34,520
Speaker 1: them into something valuable. So I could I could see that.

581
00:30:34,640 --> 00:30:40,640
Speaker 1: So it's it's probably not gonna happen, but Richardson's got

582
00:30:40,640 --> 00:30:42,800
Speaker 1: to wholes man holes kind of world do we live

583
00:30:42,840 --> 00:30:47,320
Speaker 1: in where Trevor Lawrence is the dean of AFC styleth quarterbacks?

584
00:30:47,640 --> 00:30:50,360
Speaker 1: All right? I wrote my daily root to day if

585
00:30:50,360 --> 00:30:54,040
Speaker 1: you look at five key spots for an organization GM

586
00:30:54,080 --> 00:30:58,080
Speaker 1: head coach, two coordinators, and quarterback. And I looked at

587
00:30:58,080 --> 00:31:03,440
Speaker 1: it for the entire AFC AFC South. So that's four teams.

588
00:31:03,480 --> 00:31:08,200
Speaker 1: That's twenty spots my math, right or not? Fifty five

589
00:31:08,280 --> 00:31:13,640
Speaker 1: percent will have changed in the AFC South. Oh quarterback right? Sorry?

590
00:31:13,680 --> 00:31:22,440
Speaker 1: GM head coach GM head coach, coordinators, and quarterback fifty

591
00:31:22,520 --> 00:31:26,720
Speaker 1: five percent will have changed turnover. Richardson was stiken I

592
00:31:26,760 --> 00:31:28,480
Speaker 1: could imagine. But getting back to Oh, by the way,

593
00:31:28,880 --> 00:31:33,720
Speaker 1: in my mock draft, I had the Detroit Lions selecting

594
00:31:33,760 --> 00:31:38,120
Speaker 1: Bjean Robinson. Oh that's scary stuff. Because Jamal Williams is

595
00:31:38,120 --> 00:31:40,640
Speaker 1: a free agent. Yeah, there's a really good free agent

596
00:31:40,720 --> 00:31:43,160
Speaker 1: running back class. And by the way, it's also a

597
00:31:43,200 --> 00:31:45,120
Speaker 1: great draft class. That's one of the other reasons why

598
00:31:45,120 --> 00:31:48,320
Speaker 1: I wouldn't do be Jean Robinson to twelve, because yes,

599
00:31:48,840 --> 00:31:51,960
Speaker 1: he's the best running back that I've scouted since Tag Gurley,

600
00:31:52,120 --> 00:31:55,080
Speaker 1: the best, no doubt. If Rogers, If Rogers is out

601
00:31:55,080 --> 00:32:00,960
Speaker 1: of Green Bay, where do people pick the NFC, how

602
00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:04,400
Speaker 1: do they pick it? Minnesota still first because they want

603
00:32:04,400 --> 00:32:06,040
Speaker 1: a lot of games and you can make fun of them.

604
00:32:06,080 --> 00:32:08,240
Speaker 1: They get mocked a lot for their postseason lack of

605
00:32:08,360 --> 00:32:11,600
Speaker 1: performance or whatever. But I'm sure the Vikings aren't better

606
00:32:11,600 --> 00:32:14,280
Speaker 1: than the Lions. I don't know. I would assume that

607
00:32:14,280 --> 00:32:15,840
Speaker 1: a lot of people would pick them first still if

608
00:32:15,960 --> 00:32:23,040
Speaker 1: Rogers is gone. If Rogers, if Rogers goes, I'm going Lions, Vikings, Packers, Bears,

609
00:32:23,760 --> 00:32:25,800
Speaker 1: and I think you'll have some company, But I still

610
00:32:25,800 --> 00:32:28,600
Speaker 1: think more people would pick the Vikings. Yeah, there's a

611
00:32:28,640 --> 00:32:31,280
Speaker 1: lot of oh yeah, there's a lot of Viking bashing

612
00:32:31,280 --> 00:32:34,920
Speaker 1: out there because Kris is easy to bash. He is,

613
00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:38,480
Speaker 1: but he's pretty good. I mean, he'll win you some games. Yeah,

614
00:32:38,480 --> 00:32:40,800
Speaker 1: I get to see what I mean. Kirk Cousins, Derek Carr.

615
00:32:41,240 --> 00:32:44,000
Speaker 1: I mean, they're they're kind of similar in the fact

616
00:32:44,080 --> 00:32:47,120
Speaker 1: that you have some big time games with them and

617
00:32:47,160 --> 00:32:52,080
Speaker 1: then you have some primetime games that are kind of uck. Um.

618
00:32:52,240 --> 00:32:54,200
Speaker 1: I'll say this about Cousins though. All right, so this

619
00:32:54,280 --> 00:32:57,160
Speaker 1: is not bad Cousins, Derek Carr, and I like Derek

620
00:32:57,200 --> 00:32:59,000
Speaker 1: a lot, you know that, And a lot of the

621
00:32:59,320 --> 00:33:02,400
Speaker 1: struggles and issues they've had not his fault. You know,

622
00:33:02,560 --> 00:33:04,040
Speaker 1: the team around you as a whole lot to do

623
00:33:04,080 --> 00:33:07,080
Speaker 1: with the performance. I get that, But man, Cousins playoffs

624
00:33:07,080 --> 00:33:10,280
Speaker 1: in Washington, playoffs at the Vikings. Yeah, you know, hit

625
00:33:10,360 --> 00:33:13,040
Speaker 1: Kyle Rudolph with the big touchdown to beat the Saints

626
00:33:13,080 --> 00:33:16,040
Speaker 1: on the road once upon a time. Okay, I working

627
00:33:16,120 --> 00:33:18,040
Speaker 1: back to that one, because that was actual success in

628
00:33:18,080 --> 00:33:21,320
Speaker 1: the postseason. I know, the prime time Kirk Cousins jokes

629
00:33:21,320 --> 00:33:23,440
Speaker 1: and everything. He's won a lot of games yeah, yes,

630
00:33:23,720 --> 00:33:25,480
Speaker 1: Derek carrs won a lot of games too. And you know,

631
00:33:25,520 --> 00:33:28,000
Speaker 1: like Andre was pointing out all time leading passer and

632
00:33:28,120 --> 00:33:29,840
Speaker 1: raider history, you know, I know there's a little bit

633
00:33:29,840 --> 00:33:33,040
Speaker 1: of inflation these days with the numbers and all that,

634
00:33:33,120 --> 00:33:36,080
Speaker 1: because Stabler and Plunkett and Mark Wilson and rich Gannon

635
00:33:36,120 --> 00:33:37,719
Speaker 1: are not going to get on that list because they

636
00:33:37,720 --> 00:33:39,760
Speaker 1: didn't play long enough and they didn't have the same

637
00:33:39,840 --> 00:33:41,880
Speaker 1: rules and all that. But I do give him a

638
00:33:41,920 --> 00:33:44,520
Speaker 1: lot of credit. I still think that people bash Kirk Cousins.

639
00:33:44,520 --> 00:33:46,440
Speaker 1: I get the bashing as far as getting to the

640
00:33:46,440 --> 00:33:50,000
Speaker 1: pinnacle of the mountaintop, but he wins a lot of games. Okay,

641
00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:51,920
Speaker 1: So back to the Texans at twenty Yeah, sorry, we

642
00:33:52,040 --> 00:33:55,280
Speaker 1: kind of got off tangent. Yeah, but not surprisingly number twelve.

643
00:33:55,320 --> 00:34:00,680
Speaker 1: So we've eliminated running back, cornerback. Quarterbacks are taken care

644
00:34:00,720 --> 00:34:03,400
Speaker 1: of at that particular spot. All right. So remember the

645
00:34:03,400 --> 00:34:05,719
Speaker 1: Evil Guy and the Patriot? Was that the Mail Gibson

646
00:34:05,760 --> 00:34:08,640
Speaker 1: movie and the Revolutionary War? And the evil guy says,

647
00:34:08,960 --> 00:34:13,200
Speaker 1: tell me about Ohio because he's negotiating some kind of

648
00:34:13,239 --> 00:34:17,879
Speaker 1: payment for his efforts. Yeah, tell me about Lucas van Ness. Well,

649
00:34:17,880 --> 00:34:23,000
Speaker 1: he's a name that he comes up. I think he's

650
00:34:23,040 --> 00:34:24,920
Speaker 1: a name that will come up. Miles Murphy is a

651
00:34:25,000 --> 00:34:28,120
Speaker 1: name that will come up from Clemson. Keyon why does

652
00:34:28,320 --> 00:34:30,040
Speaker 1: the name? That's who I have mocked to the Texas

653
00:34:30,080 --> 00:34:37,160
Speaker 1: at number twelve. They're they're all sort of different flavors

654
00:34:37,160 --> 00:34:40,120
Speaker 1: of the same guy. Six foot four, six foot five,

655
00:34:40,239 --> 00:34:43,840
Speaker 1: two hundred seventy five pounds in that range, ability to

656
00:34:43,840 --> 00:34:46,160
Speaker 1: go inside outside. Lucas Vanes started the year as a

657
00:34:46,200 --> 00:34:49,480
Speaker 1: backup three technique for Iowa, and as year war on.

658
00:34:50,040 --> 00:34:52,879
Speaker 1: He ended up being still a backup, but he would

659
00:34:52,920 --> 00:34:54,800
Speaker 1: come in the game and play defensive end. He wouldn't

660
00:34:54,800 --> 00:34:56,839
Speaker 1: stand up, he would play a hand down. He would

661
00:34:56,880 --> 00:34:59,440
Speaker 1: go inside and play a three technique. He's a former

662
00:34:59,480 --> 00:35:03,800
Speaker 1: hockey play and he plays like it. He is violent,

663
00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:06,839
Speaker 1: but he's got he's got some pretty decent twitch. He's

664
00:35:06,840 --> 00:35:10,520
Speaker 1: not as twitchy as um As key On White is

665
00:35:10,520 --> 00:35:13,520
Speaker 1: from Georgia Tech and he's then they're not in the class.

666
00:35:13,560 --> 00:35:15,080
Speaker 1: None of them are in the class. To Tyree Wilson,

667
00:35:15,120 --> 00:35:18,279
Speaker 1: that dude is he's a freakizoid um And when you

668
00:35:18,320 --> 00:35:21,640
Speaker 1: see Tyree Wilson, you're like, man, are those arms for real?

669
00:35:21,960 --> 00:35:24,160
Speaker 1: That like somebody just continue to pull on a last

670
00:35:24,200 --> 00:35:26,919
Speaker 1: of man's arms, and they just went on forever. So

671
00:35:27,080 --> 00:35:29,640
Speaker 1: from that standpoint, Wilson, like he says, is gonna be gone.

672
00:35:30,040 --> 00:35:33,439
Speaker 1: Ven S, Miles, Murphy, key On White all like I said,

673
00:35:33,480 --> 00:35:35,120
Speaker 1: kind of the same flavor. Six four or six five

674
00:35:35,160 --> 00:35:38,680
Speaker 1: to seventy five to two eighty inside outside, versatility and

675
00:35:39,040 --> 00:35:42,840
Speaker 1: really twitching athletic um having played a number of different sports.

676
00:35:43,200 --> 00:35:45,239
Speaker 1: I think, Mark, that's where I think, that's where we

677
00:35:45,320 --> 00:35:47,920
Speaker 1: end up going. Boy, we pick right behind the Titans.

678
00:35:48,360 --> 00:35:52,279
Speaker 1: They pick eleventh, Texans picked twelve. Okay, what do you

679
00:35:52,280 --> 00:35:56,799
Speaker 1: think the Titans are doing eleven? But they got when

680
00:35:56,840 --> 00:36:00,440
Speaker 1: you start diving, they have a lot of needs. They

681
00:36:00,480 --> 00:36:02,320
Speaker 1: have a lot of needs, have a lot of needs.

682
00:36:02,520 --> 00:36:05,480
Speaker 1: So a lot of people have this Paris Johnson junior

683
00:36:05,760 --> 00:36:09,359
Speaker 1: going that way from Ohio State. But how about this one.

684
00:36:09,840 --> 00:36:12,719
Speaker 1: I had Peter Skerronsky from Northwestern going there. I threw

685
00:36:12,760 --> 00:36:16,000
Speaker 1: out the he's a tackle, right, could play guard. If

686
00:36:16,040 --> 00:36:18,359
Speaker 1: the Texas the drafted Skarnsky at twelve, I'd play him

687
00:36:18,360 --> 00:36:20,960
Speaker 1: here at guard. Okay, you'd leave tied us out right

688
00:36:21,280 --> 00:36:24,560
Speaker 1: right tackle. I put him at guard. But I threw

689
00:36:24,719 --> 00:36:26,439
Speaker 1: this one out to you last night with more likely

690
00:36:26,480 --> 00:36:28,960
Speaker 1: to happen, more likely to trade down, trade up, or

691
00:36:29,000 --> 00:36:32,319
Speaker 1: stay put either pick I think, I said, but it

692
00:36:32,320 --> 00:36:34,719
Speaker 1: would not surprise me. Let's say one of the quarterbacks

693
00:36:34,800 --> 00:36:38,799
Speaker 1: is still available there, like or Levis or somebody, and

694
00:36:38,800 --> 00:36:41,520
Speaker 1: then somebody wants to jump up because I think the

695
00:36:41,760 --> 00:36:45,080
Speaker 1: name you pick at twelve. Actually, by the time we

696
00:36:45,120 --> 00:36:46,880
Speaker 1: get there, a lot of the fans are gonna be

697
00:36:47,200 --> 00:36:51,480
Speaker 1: more better acquainted with the draftees. Right, yeah, you'd expect

698
00:36:51,640 --> 00:36:54,000
Speaker 1: they would be. But I think it's gonna be a

699
00:36:54,080 --> 00:36:57,640
Speaker 1: name that's not gonna be you know, sports center leading, right,

700
00:36:57,680 --> 00:37:00,839
Speaker 1: It's not gonna be a name that like thrills the fans.

701
00:37:00,400 --> 00:37:02,879
Speaker 1: But this name that really improves the team. Don't get

702
00:37:02,880 --> 00:37:05,080
Speaker 1: me wrong. It all pro could be a Hall of Famer.

703
00:37:05,080 --> 00:37:07,439
Speaker 1: Who knows those names I mentioned. If those are all

704
00:37:07,480 --> 00:37:10,320
Speaker 1: on the board, If those guys are all on the board,

705
00:37:10,920 --> 00:37:13,960
Speaker 1: they'll move down, all right, They'll move Nick Nicole play

706
00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:16,560
Speaker 1: the supply to man, he's talked about that before. Well, somebody,

707
00:37:16,760 --> 00:37:18,799
Speaker 1: are you sure somebody's gonna be willing to move up? Well,

708
00:37:18,840 --> 00:37:21,440
Speaker 1: that's the thing. If that quarterback is still on the board,

709
00:37:21,480 --> 00:37:23,480
Speaker 1: there's a quarterback on the board. There's a quarterback on

710
00:37:23,520 --> 00:37:28,080
Speaker 1: the board. Listen, this is who's after the Texans Jets thirteen,

711
00:37:28,280 --> 00:37:32,720
Speaker 1: but they're about to get Derek Carr Patriots Packers commanders

712
00:37:32,840 --> 00:37:36,400
Speaker 1: at sixteen. They would move up. They could move up

713
00:37:36,440 --> 00:37:39,160
Speaker 1: Detroit at eighteen. I know I put be Jean Robinson there.

714
00:37:39,760 --> 00:37:42,880
Speaker 1: But if Anthony Richardson somehow fell or Levis fell a

715
00:37:42,920 --> 00:37:44,680
Speaker 1: guy with you know, one of those two guys that

716
00:37:44,760 --> 00:37:46,560
Speaker 1: you feel like needs a year and anyways, put him

717
00:37:46,560 --> 00:37:48,520
Speaker 1: next to Jared Goffin. Let him and you get him

718
00:37:48,520 --> 00:37:50,440
Speaker 1: at you know, you move up to twelve to get him.

719
00:37:50,480 --> 00:37:52,400
Speaker 1: It might not be a bad move, right three. Agency's

720
00:37:52,400 --> 00:37:54,440
Speaker 1: gonna tell us a lot obviously, like it always. The

721
00:37:54,440 --> 00:37:57,439
Speaker 1: Bucks are at number nineteen. What's their quarterback situation after

722
00:37:57,440 --> 00:38:00,680
Speaker 1: the Brady? A? Oh, the Bucks are in trouble. The

723
00:38:00,840 --> 00:38:03,239
Speaker 1: salary cap for the box is not good. This is

724
00:38:03,280 --> 00:38:06,880
Speaker 1: gonna be a really interesting year for Todd Bowles. Good

725
00:38:06,960 --> 00:38:11,239
Speaker 1: luck with that. Speaking of the draft, we get back.

726
00:38:11,280 --> 00:38:13,760
Speaker 1: We're from Depcity. She sat down to learn more about

727
00:38:13,800 --> 00:38:16,800
Speaker 1: Bryce Young. Let's do that right here on Texas All Access.

728
00:38:17,160 --> 00:38:19,600
Speaker 1: We got one final segments Friday issue of Texas All Access.

729
00:38:19,640 --> 00:38:22,040
Speaker 1: I'm your host John Harris Football on a sideline reporters

730
00:38:22,040 --> 00:38:25,120
Speaker 1: tip for Depcity to jump in with the show a

731
00:38:25,160 --> 00:38:28,600
Speaker 1: little deep slant with Charlie Potter, who covers Alabama Crimson

732
00:38:28,719 --> 00:38:31,840
Speaker 1: Tide for twenty four to seven Sports, to talk about

733
00:38:31,880 --> 00:38:35,799
Speaker 1: the Tides quarterback Who's name escapes me? What's his name?

734
00:38:35,800 --> 00:38:38,600
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that's right, Bryce Young. Let's go, what's his

735
00:38:38,680 --> 00:38:41,319
Speaker 1: biggest asset? You think that really sets Bryce Young apart

736
00:38:41,360 --> 00:38:43,839
Speaker 1: from the other quarterbacks in this draft class. I think

737
00:38:43,840 --> 00:38:46,560
Speaker 1: there's a lot that says Bryce apart. I mean, first

738
00:38:46,560 --> 00:38:49,680
Speaker 1: and foremost, he's a good person. I think the guys

739
00:38:49,719 --> 00:38:51,399
Speaker 1: that are coming out, they're gonna be at the top

740
00:38:51,400 --> 00:38:53,680
Speaker 1: of the draft. For Alabama, there's some of the most

741
00:38:53,719 --> 00:38:57,360
Speaker 1: special people ever come through the program, and Bryce's right

742
00:38:57,400 --> 00:38:59,799
Speaker 1: at the top of that list. But now, I think

743
00:38:59,800 --> 00:39:02,000
Speaker 1: he's a special player. He can make special things happen.

744
00:39:02,239 --> 00:39:04,239
Speaker 1: You know we saw the last two seasons is two

745
00:39:04,360 --> 00:39:07,239
Speaker 1: years as a starter. Really during the Staban area is

746
00:39:07,239 --> 00:39:09,920
Speaker 1: probably the time that we've seen a quarterback kind of

747
00:39:09,960 --> 00:39:12,399
Speaker 1: shoulder the load of the most. I know Texans fans

748
00:39:12,440 --> 00:39:14,959
Speaker 1: are familiar with with John Matchi, and you know, fans

749
00:39:15,000 --> 00:39:17,319
Speaker 1: got to see a glimpse of Jamison Williams a little

750
00:39:17,320 --> 00:39:19,520
Speaker 1: bit this past season in the NFL, but those guys

751
00:39:19,520 --> 00:39:21,640
Speaker 1: were banged up at times in twenty twenty one when

752
00:39:21,640 --> 00:39:24,520
Speaker 1: Bryce won the Heisman, they were gone this past season

753
00:39:24,520 --> 00:39:26,440
Speaker 1: and Alabama had some young guys have to step up

754
00:39:26,440 --> 00:39:29,080
Speaker 1: at the quarterback position. So, you know, more so than ever,

755
00:39:29,120 --> 00:39:31,760
Speaker 1: at least during the Nick saban are, the quarterback had

756
00:39:31,840 --> 00:39:35,080
Speaker 1: to make plays on the play in and play out basis.

757
00:39:35,120 --> 00:39:37,520
Speaker 1: Really and Bryce did that. You know, you can look

758
00:39:37,560 --> 00:39:40,439
Speaker 1: back at certain moments the Auburn game two years ago,

759
00:39:40,760 --> 00:39:43,359
Speaker 1: whenever he led a comeback drive and won that game

760
00:39:43,360 --> 00:39:45,759
Speaker 1: in overtime. Heck, even the Tennessee game this year. I

761
00:39:45,760 --> 00:39:48,160
Speaker 1: know I Alabima lost that, but you know, Bryce is

762
00:39:48,160 --> 00:39:51,960
Speaker 1: coming off that shoulder injury. He just has a remarkable

763
00:39:52,000 --> 00:39:54,600
Speaker 1: performance to keep them in that game. So he's just

764
00:39:54,640 --> 00:39:57,120
Speaker 1: a guy that can make plays on a consistent basis.

765
00:39:57,320 --> 00:40:00,040
Speaker 1: I know that's that's very vague. There's some nuances and

766
00:40:00,160 --> 00:40:03,279
Speaker 1: intricacies of what he brings to the table, but he's

767
00:40:03,280 --> 00:40:06,640
Speaker 1: just a he's a player. He's a playmaker, and you know,

768
00:40:06,680 --> 00:40:09,919
Speaker 1: I know he's a guy that he's going to say

769
00:40:09,920 --> 00:40:11,839
Speaker 1: the right things in terms of you know, he gives

770
00:40:11,840 --> 00:40:14,080
Speaker 1: credit to his teammates and stuff like that, but Alabama's

771
00:40:14,120 --> 00:40:15,920
Speaker 1: offense wouldn't have been the same without number nine in

772
00:40:15,960 --> 00:40:18,200
Speaker 1: the past two seasons. And you know, I think there's

773
00:40:18,200 --> 00:40:20,080
Speaker 1: a reason that he's a guy that you mentioned is

774
00:40:20,400 --> 00:40:22,640
Speaker 1: being discussed for the top of of all pick in

775
00:40:22,640 --> 00:40:25,319
Speaker 1: this draft. What do you think of the chatter or

776
00:40:25,320 --> 00:40:28,480
Speaker 1: the assessment of his size? At six feet tall and

777
00:40:28,520 --> 00:40:31,720
Speaker 1: one hundred ninety four pounds, he's obviously shorter and lighter,

778
00:40:31,760 --> 00:40:34,040
Speaker 1: I should say, than some of the other quarterbacks in

779
00:40:34,040 --> 00:40:35,520
Speaker 1: this draft class. But what do you make of it?

780
00:40:35,600 --> 00:40:37,719
Speaker 1: You watched him throughout his career at Alabama. Do you

781
00:40:37,719 --> 00:40:38,960
Speaker 1: think too much is made of it? Or do you

782
00:40:39,000 --> 00:40:41,080
Speaker 1: think there is something there as far as what his

783
00:40:41,160 --> 00:40:44,719
Speaker 1: transition might be like In his durability in the NFL? Yeah,

784
00:40:44,800 --> 00:40:47,799
Speaker 1: I mean, I think it's we've seen it kind of

785
00:40:47,840 --> 00:40:50,600
Speaker 1: be debunked a little bit here of late with some

786
00:40:50,680 --> 00:40:53,960
Speaker 1: smaller quarterbacks being drafted and having success. I know, you know,

787
00:40:54,040 --> 00:40:56,520
Speaker 1: Drew Brees was for a long time the outlier, but

788
00:40:57,160 --> 00:40:59,600
Speaker 1: we've seen it happen and for Bryce, I know with

789
00:40:59,680 --> 00:41:02,000
Speaker 1: this durability is the first thing that comes up in

790
00:41:02,000 --> 00:41:04,440
Speaker 1: this past season. You know, he was banged up. He

791
00:41:04,480 --> 00:41:08,680
Speaker 1: had the shoulder issue, but he's a guy that the

792
00:41:08,719 --> 00:41:10,359
Speaker 1: reason that he got hurt in that game is because

793
00:41:10,400 --> 00:41:12,680
Speaker 1: he's always trying to make a play. It's almost like

794
00:41:13,160 --> 00:41:14,680
Speaker 1: he's a baseball player. He's just out there trying to

795
00:41:14,719 --> 00:41:16,239
Speaker 1: hit a home run every time he steps up to

796
00:41:16,280 --> 00:41:19,120
Speaker 1: the plate, and I think they kind of try to

797
00:41:19,120 --> 00:41:21,400
Speaker 1: teach him how to get rid of the ball. You know,

798
00:41:21,440 --> 00:41:23,880
Speaker 1: you don't have to throw a touchdown in every play.

799
00:41:24,280 --> 00:41:26,359
Speaker 1: So that was kind of beneficial in that regard when

800
00:41:26,400 --> 00:41:28,600
Speaker 1: we saw him do that more when he came back

801
00:41:28,600 --> 00:41:30,799
Speaker 1: from the injury. But you know, that was really the

802
00:41:30,840 --> 00:41:34,800
Speaker 1: only issue that he had at least known made public.

803
00:41:35,000 --> 00:41:37,120
Speaker 1: You look at the year that he won the Heisman Trophy.

804
00:41:37,480 --> 00:41:40,400
Speaker 1: Alabama's offensive line gave up forty one sacks in twenty

805
00:41:40,480 --> 00:41:42,800
Speaker 1: twenty one, so he was getting hit a lot and

806
00:41:43,040 --> 00:41:46,040
Speaker 1: didn't really have any issues with that. And again, that's

807
00:41:46,040 --> 00:41:49,120
Speaker 1: a year that he literally rewrote Alabama's record book from

808
00:41:49,120 --> 00:41:52,200
Speaker 1: a passing standpoint, So he is sure. I'll be interested

809
00:41:52,239 --> 00:41:55,360
Speaker 1: to see what he measures in at at the Combine

810
00:41:55,400 --> 00:41:58,719
Speaker 1: and maybe Alabam's Pro Day. But he is the guy

811
00:41:58,800 --> 00:42:01,560
Speaker 1: that when you watch him play, you don't really think

812
00:42:01,560 --> 00:42:05,239
Speaker 1: about that now. He's elusive. He can move. It's not

813
00:42:05,360 --> 00:42:08,160
Speaker 1: he disappears behind the mountain of men that Alan has

814
00:42:08,160 --> 00:42:10,480
Speaker 1: on his offensive line. But you know, he's a guy

815
00:42:10,560 --> 00:42:14,279
Speaker 1: that uses his size to an advantage sometimes with his

816
00:42:14,320 --> 00:42:17,520
Speaker 1: ability to move the sticks with his legs. But you know,

817
00:42:18,040 --> 00:42:21,600
Speaker 1: it'll be interesting to see what happens from that standpoint.

818
00:42:21,680 --> 00:42:24,560
Speaker 1: Come like combined time and things like that. But I

819
00:42:24,600 --> 00:42:26,440
Speaker 1: haven't thought it has been any kind of knock on

820
00:42:26,480 --> 00:42:28,439
Speaker 1: his game and his time in Alabama. It hasn't really

821
00:42:28,440 --> 00:42:31,840
Speaker 1: been something that's been discussed up until he made the

822
00:42:31,840 --> 00:42:34,879
Speaker 1: decision to turn pro. Like that wasn't a talking point

823
00:42:34,960 --> 00:42:36,560
Speaker 1: or something that came up because it was never an

824
00:42:36,560 --> 00:42:39,280
Speaker 1: issue with his game in college. That unfortunately is always

825
00:42:39,280 --> 00:42:41,399
Speaker 1: have time for but plenty of great stuff. Go check

826
00:42:41,400 --> 00:42:43,560
Speaker 1: out Deep Slant Podcast. You the rest of that and
