1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,040
Speaker 1: Hello Texans, Welcome to the show. Mark vandermir with you

2
00:00:03,080 --> 00:00:05,640
Speaker 1: at John Harris. It's Thursday. That means the General is

3
00:00:05,640 --> 00:00:07,880
Speaker 1: with us, John McClean and gentlemen. The next time the

4
00:00:07,920 --> 00:00:11,600
Speaker 1: Texans take the field will be in the dreaded City.

5
00:00:11,720 --> 00:00:13,640
Speaker 1: Actually we kind of like it, but we don't like

6
00:00:13,720 --> 00:00:18,120
Speaker 1: them of Indianapolis for the opener September eighth noon start.

7
00:00:18,440 --> 00:00:19,280
Speaker 2: Can't wait for that.

8
00:00:19,720 --> 00:00:22,560
Speaker 1: But let's get into some things tonight with the fifty

9
00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:26,040
Speaker 1: three man The initial fifty three man rosters set practice

10
00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:30,120
Speaker 1: squad growing as we speak, basically, but general, this is

11
00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:31,880
Speaker 1: the first time we've had a chance to catch up

12
00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:34,320
Speaker 1: since the initial fifty three came out.

13
00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:37,280
Speaker 2: Some of the cuts, the curd, all of that. Good evening.

14
00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:40,360
Speaker 1: What were your initial reactions to the initial fifty three?

15
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:41,680
Speaker 2: Not much.

16
00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:46,040
Speaker 3: I'm still surprised. Damian Piers is on the team and

17
00:00:46,159 --> 00:00:50,000
Speaker 3: wasn't trided considering that he hadn't done anything running the

18
00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:52,800
Speaker 3: ball and Cam Akers you knew he was going to

19
00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:56,920
Speaker 3: make the team. He's their second best running back. British

20
00:00:56,960 --> 00:01:00,640
Speaker 3: Brooks was a nice addition because of his verse hostility

21
00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:06,360
Speaker 3: and what he can do. There are several players like

22
00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:11,000
Speaker 3: Andrew Back and Noah Brown. If they hadn't been hurt,

23
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:14,160
Speaker 3: they would have still made the roster. But they are hurt.

24
00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:18,720
Speaker 3: And the way Tamiko Ryan sounded, he puts a lot

25
00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:22,760
Speaker 3: of stock in guys being available. It's one thing if

26
00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:25,319
Speaker 3: you have a serious injury, but it's another one if

27
00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:29,600
Speaker 3: you're constantly up and down because you have nagging injuries.

28
00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:33,680
Speaker 3: And they got to play a tougher schedule. He knows

29
00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:38,080
Speaker 3: that they're playing that tougher schedule. And I'll tell you

30
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:41,760
Speaker 3: something that I found and I wrote this in my

31
00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:46,000
Speaker 3: column on Euston Texans dot Com about Wednesday was the

32
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:50,600
Speaker 3: one year anniversary of Stroutbying named the starting quarterback. And

33
00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:54,680
Speaker 3: this just blows me away. From the first game last

34
00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:59,520
Speaker 3: year when the Texans played Baltimore, they have three returning

35
00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:04,320
Speaker 3: offense of starters Stroud, Dell and Mason. Isn't it amazing

36
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:09,040
Speaker 3: from the game that the season it ended in Baltimore

37
00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:13,600
Speaker 3: with the playoff loss, they have four returning starters Stroud,

38
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:19,919
Speaker 3: Nico Scrugs different position, shak Mason I'm sorry five, and

39
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:22,000
Speaker 3: Lamie Tonsil.

40
00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:23,600
Speaker 4: Wow, it's amazing.

41
00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:25,760
Speaker 3: Some of that is caused by injuries, but some of

42
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:29,640
Speaker 3: it's caused by decisions they've made, and I think the

43
00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:34,200
Speaker 3: fact that Nick ca Sario Demiko Ryans know how much

44
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:36,520
Speaker 3: more difficult the schedule is this year and all the

45
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:40,800
Speaker 3: great quarterbacks and offenses they're playing, they thought this is

46
00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:43,760
Speaker 3: something they needed to do, and they don't have much

47
00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:47,240
Speaker 3: more on defense. First game last year, they have four

48
00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:51,040
Speaker 3: starters back on defense. That's if Will Anderson could start

49
00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:57,880
Speaker 3: TOATOA Stingley and Murray Wow. And the playoff loss to Baltimore.

50
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:04,240
Speaker 3: They have three defensive starters returning from the playoff loss, Anderson,

51
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:08,600
Speaker 3: Stingley and Patrit If Anderson can't play only two, that

52
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:12,760
Speaker 3: is amazing turn. That is amazing roster change for a

53
00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:16,400
Speaker 3: team with Super Bowl aspirations. And that's the course they've charted,

54
00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:18,920
Speaker 3: and based on what we saw last year, you know

55
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:21,800
Speaker 3: you gotta trust them because it's pretty obvious they know

56
00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 3: what they're doing.

57
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:28,320
Speaker 5: Denneral, we talked all all off season, especially after the

58
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:32,680
Speaker 5: Stefan Diggs acquisition, well, it's gonna be a really tough

59
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:36,480
Speaker 5: cut in the wide receiver room, and it was.

60
00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:39,960
Speaker 6: The Noah Brown one was a tough cut, but he

61
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:41,320
Speaker 6: just wasn't available.

62
00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:45,160
Speaker 5: In the end, the Texans keep seven wide receivers or

63
00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:46,880
Speaker 5: six wide receivers.

64
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:47,040
Speaker 6: And a returner.

65
00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:49,720
Speaker 5: Was that an upset in your mind in a sense

66
00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:53,280
Speaker 5: that they did keep seven guys that can play a

67
00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:55,960
Speaker 5: receiver position the way that they did, and keeping Steven

68
00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:57,480
Speaker 5: Simms as the seventh guy.

69
00:03:57,520 --> 00:04:00,640
Speaker 3: Absolutely I would have if you got Amy and Piers

70
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:02,680
Speaker 3: on the team used him as a kickoff re turner.

71
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:06,520
Speaker 3: He showed he could do it. Sometimes, you if you're

72
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:10,200
Speaker 3: strong and you can break tackles, you got a better

73
00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:13,800
Speaker 3: chance of getting through the line of scrimmage. If then

74
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:18,880
Speaker 3: if you are shifty and elusive and uh Sims can

75
00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:21,160
Speaker 3: be a receiver, you hope he never has to play

76
00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:24,440
Speaker 3: receiver because if he does, it means they've got injuries.

77
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:27,240
Speaker 3: But we knew the top four and when I was

78
00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:30,280
Speaker 3: certain that Xavier Hutchinson would be on the team, and

79
00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:33,320
Speaker 3: then it's just a matter of how many they kept.

80
00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:37,560
Speaker 3: Robert Woods is not a special teams player. They valued him.

81
00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:41,200
Speaker 3: Consider Nico's miss games three years in a row, odds

82
00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:43,120
Speaker 3: are he's going to miss games and it's fourth year.

83
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:46,800
Speaker 3: Tank Dell went out for the season in eleventh game.

84
00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:50,680
Speaker 3: And if Tank tries to get scrums and block at

85
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:53,360
Speaker 3: five eighty one sixty five and he's probably gonna get

86
00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:57,080
Speaker 3: hurt too. One of the most impressive things about Stefan

87
00:04:57,240 --> 00:05:00,600
Speaker 3: Diggs is his durability going back to his first year.

88
00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:05,240
Speaker 3: I believe Buffalo, the fans, the media after the season

89
00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:08,680
Speaker 3: are gonna go, wow, we should have put up with

90
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:12,320
Speaker 3: him another season. You know, you perennially give them one

91
00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:15,479
Speaker 3: hundred catches in a thousand yards. You can't tell me

92
00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:19,680
Speaker 3: the Josh Allen's not gonna miss him, especially when you

93
00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:22,120
Speaker 3: know he's available every game.

94
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:25,360
Speaker 1: Well, general, you brought up some great points about returning

95
00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:28,200
Speaker 1: starters on both sides of the football. You talked about

96
00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:30,320
Speaker 1: Opening Day, you talked about the playoff game. If I

97
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:33,400
Speaker 1: just pick the Tampa Bay game for instance, in the

98
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:37,799
Speaker 1: heart of the season November fifth, that thriller, I'm looking

99
00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:42,440
Speaker 1: at defense and I'm seeing one, two, three returning starters

100
00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:44,440
Speaker 1: from that particular game. I know they didn't set the

101
00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:47,400
Speaker 1: world on fire defensively in that game, but you don't

102
00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:52,359
Speaker 1: have Ridgeway, Collins, Cashman Perriman, Tavier Thomas, Shaq Griffin played

103
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:55,080
Speaker 1: in that game, Stephen Nelson, But you feel like you're better.

104
00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:58,640
Speaker 1: What is your level of concern though, with the lack

105
00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:02,720
Speaker 1: of availability of Nico Autry and Christian Harris for the

106
00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:06,520
Speaker 1: short to medium term here, as Harris is on ir

107
00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:09,279
Speaker 1: and Autrey has to serve the suspension, what is your

108
00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:10,880
Speaker 1: level of concern there on that side of the ball

109
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:11,919
Speaker 1: without those two players.

110
00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:15,599
Speaker 3: Harris is a big concern because he played so well

111
00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:18,720
Speaker 3: in the last year. He emerged as a guy who

112
00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:21,479
Speaker 3: had a chance to be elite this year. Now, maybe

113
00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:24,840
Speaker 3: he'll miss four games, and if it's the first four,

114
00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:27,760
Speaker 3: then people will forget at the end of the year

115
00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:31,799
Speaker 3: that he missed those first four games. Then he go Audrey,

116
00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:34,040
Speaker 3: you know, he wasn't going to start. He was going

117
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:36,640
Speaker 3: to come off the bench and play tackle unless they

118
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:40,840
Speaker 3: gave a breather to Will Anderson or Danil Hunter. So yeah,

119
00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:43,840
Speaker 3: it's a blow, But to me, not like Harris, the

120
00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:47,640
Speaker 3: defensive lineman. The past rusher are more important than the linebacker.

121
00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:52,120
Speaker 3: But Harris had become a playmaker, and you can't beat

122
00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:57,240
Speaker 3: having playmakers on defense. Now, Henry toatoa who was up

123
00:06:57,279 --> 00:07:00,320
Speaker 3: and down last year as a rookie. Most of the time,

124
00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:03,720
Speaker 3: they're just gonna play two guys him and el Shire

125
00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:10,120
Speaker 3: and and so I would if it was if it

126
00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:14,680
Speaker 3: was Al Shire or Tootoa. I would say it's not

127
00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:18,440
Speaker 3: as big, but boy, we saw what Christian Harris was

128
00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:21,480
Speaker 3: capable of doing last year and I thought he's on

129
00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:22,720
Speaker 3: the verge of being a star.

130
00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:24,320
Speaker 6: General.

131
00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:27,560
Speaker 5: That being said about Christian Harris at linebacker, as you

132
00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:30,640
Speaker 5: look at the rosters, you look at what it might

133
00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:33,400
Speaker 5: look like, as you look at facing the Colts and

134
00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:36,840
Speaker 5: the Bears and the Vikings to start the year, do

135
00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:41,400
Speaker 5: you have significant concerns about other spots. I'll ask you

136
00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:43,400
Speaker 5: about one in particular, and then you can riff off

137
00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:46,880
Speaker 5: this and others. If there are any the depth at

138
00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:49,600
Speaker 5: corner behind Derek Stingley and Kamari.

139
00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:52,200
Speaker 6: Lassiter, are you happy with that? You think it's gonna

140
00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:54,640
Speaker 6: turn out? Okay? What are your thoughts about holes on

141
00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:56,200
Speaker 6: this team? Starting at corner.

142
00:07:56,600 --> 00:08:00,800
Speaker 3: I haven't seen Jeff Okuda do much. He's been hurt

143
00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:05,200
Speaker 3: and they kept him, and then Boyd is a backup corner.

144
00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:08,320
Speaker 3: I mean, they see those guys every day, but if

145
00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:11,720
Speaker 3: Stingley or Lessen gets hurt, it looks like it's going

146
00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:15,160
Speaker 3: to be a big drop off. And they've got a

147
00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:19,800
Speaker 3: lot of experienced safeties except for Kaylen Bullock, but they've

148
00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:24,000
Speaker 3: got guys around him, and so I would think, yes,

149
00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:27,560
Speaker 3: depth is an issue. I'm still not so on this

150
00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:31,200
Speaker 3: offensive line when it comes to run blocking. Now, maybe

151
00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:34,960
Speaker 3: Joe Mixon will be a revelation. He didn't play. There's

152
00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:39,079
Speaker 3: certain he can play in that outside zone scheme, and

153
00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:44,120
Speaker 3: so I trust Bobby Slowt. But I want to see

154
00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:50,720
Speaker 3: these guys continually open holes and get out on that

155
00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:55,199
Speaker 3: second level and help this running running game become formidable.

156
00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:59,880
Speaker 3: And we haven't seen that. Even in twenty nineteen with

157
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:03,600
Speaker 3: Carlos Hide barely got a thousand yards. This wasn't a

158
00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:05,400
Speaker 3: big time running game. Now I'm have a big time

159
00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:09,160
Speaker 3: running game since Ran Foster was in the backfield. And

160
00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:11,640
Speaker 3: I'm really fired up to see what Mixon can do

161
00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:14,880
Speaker 3: because he averaged twelve touchdowns the last three years. He

162
00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:18,480
Speaker 3: can catch the ball, he can block, he's durable. Another

163
00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:21,880
Speaker 3: guy that's durable. It's interesting that the two big moves

164
00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:25,960
Speaker 3: they made on offense are two guys that answer the

165
00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:29,760
Speaker 3: bell every game, and I think that's important to them.

166
00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:34,160
Speaker 3: And I'm still the other one. John is without Deniko

167
00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:38,360
Speaker 3: Autrey or the defensive tackles. Can Mario Edwards keep up

168
00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:42,560
Speaker 3: what he showed throughout off season program camp and pre

169
00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:48,600
Speaker 3: season to Folli van Cassi get some penetration there. But

170
00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:53,240
Speaker 3: those guys were available for a reason. We can so

171
00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:57,000
Speaker 3: is Sheldon Rankins. I didn't have any confidence in Sheldon

172
00:09:57,080 --> 00:09:59,320
Speaker 3: Rankins last year. He didn't come to the off season

173
00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:02,920
Speaker 3: program except for the mandatory mini camp. I thought he'd

174
00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:05,880
Speaker 3: take a long time to get ready, and you know,

175
00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:08,640
Speaker 3: he bounced around. He was on his third team, and

176
00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:12,720
Speaker 3: then he played really well and got eumongus raised. So

177
00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:17,680
Speaker 3: maybe that's what's going on with these guys. But depth,

178
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:20,600
Speaker 3: they've been very fortunate right now. You guys know that.

179
00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:23,600
Speaker 3: Think all the injuries they had at this time last year,

180
00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:26,560
Speaker 3: whether you were out for the year or you were

181
00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:29,280
Speaker 3: on injured reserve with a chance to come back when

182
00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:32,959
Speaker 3: you were healthy, and they still were able to do

183
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:36,680
Speaker 3: what they did and make the playoffs. And they great coaching,

184
00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:41,880
Speaker 3: great playing by the other players, and of course especially CJ. Strout.

185
00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:45,040
Speaker 1: All right, Well, the news broke earlier today because we

186
00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:47,480
Speaker 1: were wondering what was going to happen with Tim Boyle

187
00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:50,360
Speaker 1: going to the Miami Dolphins practice squad, and you knew

188
00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:53,679
Speaker 1: they needed three case Keenum on ir we could talk

189
00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:57,400
Speaker 1: about that some more. But Keton is it Keton? Johnny

190
00:10:57,480 --> 00:11:02,719
Speaker 1: slovas the former All right, close enough, I'll get it right.

191
00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:06,479
Speaker 3: The boy wonder Yeah.

192
00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:10,760
Speaker 1: And BYU guy USC guy. Right, So let's talk about him. Johnny, first,

193
00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:13,480
Speaker 1: your mini scouting report on Slovis. Then we'll get the

194
00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:16,040
Speaker 1: general's reaction to Slovis being on the practice squad. You

195
00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:18,120
Speaker 1: gotta have three quarterbacks in the organization, So what do

196
00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:18,480
Speaker 1: you think?

197
00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:23,640
Speaker 5: Yeah, an accurate thrower, not a strong arm, not totally

198
00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:28,200
Speaker 5: physically gifted, but incredibly accurate. And I think this is

199
00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:30,400
Speaker 5: the kind of offense that would fit him. Thrown on

200
00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:33,960
Speaker 5: the move, you know, boots and keepers, you know, throwing

201
00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:36,679
Speaker 5: intermediate routes. I don't think he's gonna end up being

202
00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:39,120
Speaker 5: a guy that you think about throwing a ball deep

203
00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:39,640
Speaker 5: a bunch.

204
00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:41,240
Speaker 6: He doesn't have that kind of arm string.

205
00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:43,600
Speaker 5: But in his best year at USC, I think he

206
00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:46,920
Speaker 5: was like seventy one, seventy two percent completion percentage and

207
00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:49,200
Speaker 5: he was very, very accurate with the football. Then he

208
00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:51,920
Speaker 5: went to Pitt, then he ended up at BYU.

209
00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:53,920
Speaker 6: So he's got he's got something to work.

210
00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:57,760
Speaker 5: But he's to me, that's the perfect number three quarterback

211
00:11:57,840 --> 00:11:59,800
Speaker 5: right there. To keep on your practice squad. Let that

212
00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:03,920
Speaker 5: guy I developed. I feel like the four other players

213
00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:07,319
Speaker 5: they added Brandon Daniels cole fothering him from a Utah

214
00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:10,319
Speaker 5: to tackle in the tight end. Both I higher draftable

215
00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:13,040
Speaker 5: grades on a few years ago in the draft. The

216
00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:16,960
Speaker 5: next two have I don't want to say a direct

217
00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:19,959
Speaker 5: line of CJ. Stroud, but Xavier Johnson, the wide receiver

218
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:24,560
Speaker 5: from Ohio State, was a was a big player for

219
00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:27,040
Speaker 5: Ohio State. In the game against Georgia a couple of

220
00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:28,800
Speaker 5: years ago, he caught a touchdown pass.

221
00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:31,240
Speaker 6: From CJ right down the scene right before the half.

222
00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:31,840
Speaker 6: That was big.

223
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:34,800
Speaker 5: And then Mark Perry, the safety out of TCU, was

224
00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:36,560
Speaker 5: a guy I had a draftaball great on this year.

225
00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:39,880
Speaker 5: He played in high school and Rancho Kucamonga with CJ

226
00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:41,120
Speaker 5: back in the day.

227
00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:42,160
Speaker 6: So there's some CJ.

228
00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:45,040
Speaker 5: Straut influenced definitely with Xavier Johnson and Mark Perry, I

229
00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:46,440
Speaker 5: would imagine.

230
00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:48,959
Speaker 3: General, I don't have an opinion on all those guys.

231
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:52,120
Speaker 3: Whatever John says is good for me. Slow just bounced

232
00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:55,880
Speaker 3: around so much I couldn't keep up with him. Obviously,

233
00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:57,920
Speaker 3: if he'd been very good, he was stuck with one

234
00:12:57,960 --> 00:13:01,760
Speaker 3: program with all the money there offering today. But I'm guessing,

235
00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:05,640
Speaker 3: like john said, Bobby Slowick likes him for his system,

236
00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:08,320
Speaker 3: and he's never gonna play, not gonna play this year,

237
00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:11,560
Speaker 3: and if he does, they're in big time trouble. But

238
00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:15,640
Speaker 3: case keenum Case, as you guys know, was the unsung

239
00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:20,880
Speaker 3: hero mentoring Stroud last year behind the scenes. He could

240
00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:23,080
Speaker 3: go to Case about things that maybe he can go

241
00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:27,360
Speaker 3: to draw Johnson and Bobby Slowick about and so as

242
00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:30,240
Speaker 3: it is now they can have Case and he can

243
00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:35,439
Speaker 3: still mentor him, still get paid. Maybe I'd want Case

244
00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:37,880
Speaker 3: as a coach on my team any day of the week.

245
00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:40,760
Speaker 3: He just got to decide does he want to coach,

246
00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:43,959
Speaker 3: does he want to go into business world? And if

247
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:46,720
Speaker 3: he coaches, does he want to coach with the Texans?

248
00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:49,800
Speaker 3: Does he want to go to the Cougars, his beloved Cougars.

249
00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:50,800
Speaker 6: Yeah.

250
00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:54,000
Speaker 1: A lot of people speculating on Case's future, and maybe

251
00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:57,960
Speaker 1: Case is speculating himself at this point, really just taking

252
00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:00,240
Speaker 1: it in and deciding what he wants to do who

253
00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:02,640
Speaker 1: once he gets healthy and deciding what he wants to

254
00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:05,400
Speaker 1: do with his playing career. By the way, slovas guys

255
00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:09,120
Speaker 1: in the preseason with the Colt sixteen of twenty two

256
00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:12,360
Speaker 1: for one hundred and forty nine yards seventy two percent

257
00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:15,640
Speaker 1: completion rate. Johnny, that's really good. No TV's no picks.

258
00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:17,240
Speaker 1: He pitched a perfect game.

259
00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:18,079
Speaker 2: There you go.

260
00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:20,680
Speaker 1: Uh Now, he put up a few numbers with them

261
00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:22,640
Speaker 1: and we'll see what he does if anything. But he's

262
00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:25,080
Speaker 1: on the practice squad. They need a scout team quarterback.

263
00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:27,920
Speaker 1: Good developmental opportunity for him. And here's what else I

264
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:31,200
Speaker 1: like about Slovis guys, is that when you take a

265
00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:34,480
Speaker 1: young player like that, you never know what's gonna happen.

266
00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:36,560
Speaker 2: You don't know how high this ceiling is. Maybe a

267
00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:37,320
Speaker 2: light goes on.

268
00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:41,160
Speaker 1: You take a guy who's really more seasoned, you pretty

269
00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:42,880
Speaker 1: much know what you have and that can be good

270
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:45,760
Speaker 1: or bad. So let's see how it plays out with Slovas.

271
00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:47,280
Speaker 1: But I'm with the general. You don't even want to

272
00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:49,600
Speaker 1: see him play in general. I have to compliment you

273
00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:52,040
Speaker 1: on something else because I felt the same way. De

274
00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:54,160
Speaker 1: Miko didn't come out and say it, but some of

275
00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:56,920
Speaker 1: the guys that they let go of, they were hurt

276
00:14:57,080 --> 00:14:59,200
Speaker 1: off and on a lot, and you feel like the

277
00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:01,120
Speaker 1: coaches get sick of it after a while. Yeah, they

278
00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:03,200
Speaker 1: feel for the player. I mean, an injury is an injury,

279
00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:05,960
Speaker 1: and these guys are all tough, but you want availability.

280
00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:09,560
Speaker 1: The best ability is availability, or as the saying goes,

281
00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:11,440
Speaker 1: you can't make the club from the tub.

282
00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:15,720
Speaker 3: I thought Slows would be older. I just looked him up.

283
00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:18,280
Speaker 3: He turned twenty three in April. Bow Nicks is like

284
00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:22,880
Speaker 3: twenty five. We're seeing that now with quarterbacks coming in earlier.

285
00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:24,760
Speaker 3: But a lot of them go to college earlier when

286
00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:28,920
Speaker 3: they're seventeen so they can get with the program their

287
00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:34,680
Speaker 3: freshman year. And if it's guys to get hurt every

288
00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:38,120
Speaker 3: once in a while, or it's a serious injury, that's

289
00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:41,840
Speaker 3: one thing. But when you constantly cannot be counted on,

290
00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:44,760
Speaker 3: like Noah Brown. Noah Brown, they told me when he

291
00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:47,520
Speaker 3: was the Cowboys, same thing. You never knew when he

292
00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:50,280
Speaker 3: would be available and when he would not. Now he's

293
00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:54,880
Speaker 3: gone to Washington, Hope he's able to play seventeen games.

294
00:15:55,480 --> 00:15:59,080
Speaker 3: And that's what drives coach is crazy. If they every

295
00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:02,920
Speaker 3: day so and so ready to practice, and so I

296
00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:05,520
Speaker 3: don't blame him at all. Keeping the guys who have

297
00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:06,600
Speaker 3: been more durable.

298
00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:11,080
Speaker 5: Okay, I want you to make sense of what I

299
00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:14,000
Speaker 5: am about to read to you. Okay, all right, I

300
00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:16,640
Speaker 5: want you to make sense of this. We don't make

301
00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:20,280
Speaker 5: sense of this for me. The Cleveland Browns have restructured

302
00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:24,840
Speaker 5: the contract of quarterback Deshaun Watson, converting forty five million

303
00:16:24,880 --> 00:16:28,320
Speaker 5: of his twenty twenty four base salary into a signing

304
00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:33,360
Speaker 5: bonus and creating thirty six million in cap space. Cleveland

305
00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:35,560
Speaker 5: now has over sixty two million in cap space, the

306
00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:39,520
Speaker 5: most of the entire NFL. Can y'all make sense of

307
00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:40,080
Speaker 5: that for me?

308
00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:44,320
Speaker 3: Can anybody if somebody like say Miles Garrett was about

309
00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:48,200
Speaker 3: to sign a contract, maybe if they did something like

310
00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:51,040
Speaker 3: that with Dallas because they were gonna sign Dak Prescott,

311
00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:53,880
Speaker 3: I could see it. But other than Marii Cooper trying

312
00:16:53,880 --> 00:16:57,040
Speaker 3: to get more money and he's there, it doesn't make

313
00:16:57,160 --> 00:17:00,600
Speaker 3: it doesn't make sense. I heard on a talk before

314
00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:05,239
Speaker 3: we did this show. It's a national show, and one

315
00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:08,280
Speaker 3: of the hosts that I think this means he's got

316
00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:10,840
Speaker 3: one season to prove himself that he can play the

317
00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:13,640
Speaker 3: way he played Houston or he's gone now. I don't

318
00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:16,920
Speaker 3: buy that, because they're gonna have a lot of dead

319
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:20,080
Speaker 3: money and they keep pushing that cap that's a third

320
00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:24,639
Speaker 3: time they have fooled with his contract to free cap money,

321
00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:27,320
Speaker 3: and you know how that is. You keep pushing it

322
00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:29,439
Speaker 3: down the road, and all of a sudden, you got

323
00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:32,600
Speaker 3: to pay the piper. So I don't think they're gonna

324
00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:35,479
Speaker 3: be running out and signing players because there's not any

325
00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:39,760
Speaker 3: guys available. So I have no clue what that means.

326
00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:42,280
Speaker 1: I think it's not a bad idea to push some

327
00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:45,080
Speaker 1: of it out and look, they created cap space now,

328
00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:48,440
Speaker 1: but you got to pay the piper later. Yes, if

329
00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:50,760
Speaker 1: it doesn't pan out this year, I could easily see

330
00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:52,720
Speaker 1: it happening, or it's going to be difficult to do,

331
00:17:52,800 --> 00:17:55,080
Speaker 1: but I could see it happening that they would part

332
00:17:55,119 --> 00:17:58,720
Speaker 1: company with Watson somehow and just bite the bullet on it,

333
00:17:58,760 --> 00:18:01,960
Speaker 1: because look down the road, the cop always gets bigger.

334
00:18:02,359 --> 00:18:05,159
Speaker 1: Maybe they go to eighteen games, maybe more money comes in.

335
00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:07,359
Speaker 1: It's not as I mean, it's still gonna be a

336
00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:10,240
Speaker 1: huge chunk, but it's not as awful as it would

337
00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:13,160
Speaker 1: have been, say this year or last year, that kind

338
00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:16,160
Speaker 1: of thing. So a lot of different things can happen general.

339
00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:19,080
Speaker 1: What is your prediction Do you have a prediction for

340
00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:22,080
Speaker 1: how it plays out with him in Cleveland.

341
00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:25,640
Speaker 3: When he signed that contract. Everybody freaked out because they

342
00:18:25,640 --> 00:18:28,560
Speaker 3: were looking at the cap then, and you're right, it's

343
00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:30,879
Speaker 3: not as big a deal. But there's a lot of

344
00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:33,960
Speaker 3: people up there think if he gets hurt again, or

345
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:38,000
Speaker 3: if he doesn't play well, and remember remember that win

346
00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:41,480
Speaker 3: constantly blowing off lake here even when it's warm, he

347
00:18:41,560 --> 00:18:44,200
Speaker 3: may never have the stats he had here. And they

348
00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:47,359
Speaker 3: don't have a great running game with Nick Jubb out

349
00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:51,160
Speaker 3: again and on pup and maybe not available till October

350
00:18:51,280 --> 00:18:55,919
Speaker 3: or November. So they rely on him so much and

351
00:18:55,960 --> 00:18:58,000
Speaker 3: they haven't been able to count on him so far.

352
00:18:58,720 --> 00:19:02,879
Speaker 3: And boy, if they end up walking away before the

353
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:06,800
Speaker 3: deal's over, can you imagine the egg that's gonna be

354
00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:11,000
Speaker 3: on their faces because of the chance they took and

355
00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:15,080
Speaker 3: what they traded Nick Casario and what Casio has turned

356
00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:15,640
Speaker 3: it into.

357
00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:19,679
Speaker 5: Oh god, Oh, I mean, I don't even want to

358
00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:21,600
Speaker 5: I don't even want to think about it for them,

359
00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:23,960
Speaker 5: And I think there there are plenty of people in

360
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:28,000
Speaker 5: Cleveland that have already they've already kind of resigned themselves

361
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:31,640
Speaker 5: to the fact that it's going in that direction, like already,

362
00:19:32,119 --> 00:19:32,960
Speaker 5: so ugh.

363
00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:36,600
Speaker 1: I think they have two hundred and thirty million eggs

364
00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:39,359
Speaker 1: on their face already general, So I'm not so sure

365
00:19:39,680 --> 00:19:42,000
Speaker 1: how much worse it could get, but I do think

366
00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:42,600
Speaker 1: you're right.

367
00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:44,960
Speaker 2: It can get worse than it is. Let me ask

368
00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:45,159
Speaker 2: you this.

369
00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:48,640
Speaker 1: Now, a man named Tom Brady signed a huge deal

370
00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:50,880
Speaker 1: with Fox, and he already signed.

371
00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:53,280
Speaker 3: The This is an unbelievable story.

372
00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:57,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, so he already signed papers that would make him

373
00:19:57,920 --> 00:20:01,399
Speaker 1: a limited partner of the oak Well formerly known as

374
00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:02,320
Speaker 1: the Oakland Raiders.

375
00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:06,920
Speaker 2: Did I just do that? The Vegas Raids. So he

376
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:08,000
Speaker 2: is not allowed.

377
00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:10,879
Speaker 1: According to ESPN, he is not allowed to go to

378
00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:13,960
Speaker 1: production meetings with Fox. Those are the meetings that we've

379
00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:16,199
Speaker 1: talked about before, where you're with the coach and the

380
00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:19,200
Speaker 1: players and the broadcast crew game information.

381
00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:22,400
Speaker 2: You can't watch practice. This is no small thing.

382
00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:26,920
Speaker 1: We see the broadcast team walk out to practice on

383
00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:30,200
Speaker 1: a Friday and they're watching Friday practice, which is game

384
00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:32,919
Speaker 1: plans central. I mean you are seeing it all against

385
00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:36,040
Speaker 1: scout teams. With the numbers on the opposing jerseys. You

386
00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:37,560
Speaker 1: can tell what the game plan is going to be,

387
00:20:37,760 --> 00:20:39,760
Speaker 1: see the actual plays that are going to be run.

388
00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:42,639
Speaker 1: They get access to all that. He gets none of

389
00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:46,040
Speaker 1: it and has to do the game. Plus he is

390
00:20:46,240 --> 00:20:51,040
Speaker 1: not supposed to criticize officials being a limited partner owner

391
00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:53,480
Speaker 1: of a team, partial owner of a team, so all

392
00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:54,120
Speaker 1: that goes through.

393
00:20:54,160 --> 00:20:55,640
Speaker 2: I don't know if Fox is going to feel really

394
00:20:55,640 --> 00:20:56,199
Speaker 2: good about this.

395
00:20:56,359 --> 00:20:58,000
Speaker 1: You still get Tom Brady in the booth and maybe

396
00:20:58,040 --> 00:21:00,000
Speaker 1: the average fan doesn't even care. But what are your

397
00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:01,359
Speaker 1: thoughts on this development?

398
00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:08,720
Speaker 3: He also he can't talk about free agents. This guy's

399
00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:11,320
Speaker 3: in the last year of his contract and start praising

400
00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:15,080
Speaker 3: him because he's trying to be an owner. And this

401
00:21:15,119 --> 00:21:17,960
Speaker 3: is all orchestrated by the owners. You know, they were

402
00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:23,399
Speaker 3: freaking out that he was gonna He hasn't withdrawn and

403
00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:27,680
Speaker 3: Mark Davis is not either. These restrictions have not slowed

404
00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:31,560
Speaker 3: his pursuit of buying ten percent, and that's a big chunk.

405
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:35,560
Speaker 3: But you know it's gonna skyrock skyrocket immediately. I can't

406
00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:38,480
Speaker 3: imagine Mark Davis needs the money, just wants to hang

407
00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:42,520
Speaker 3: out with Tommy. And so a guy that prepares so

408
00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:47,160
Speaker 3: thoroughly cannot prepare so thoroughly. How can he do any

409
00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:53,800
Speaker 3: preparation if he can't do what every other network broadcaster does. Now,

410
00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:59,439
Speaker 3: maybe he'll be great, but boy, he's severely limited and

411
00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:02,320
Speaker 3: knowing how already worked to get ready for games. That

412
00:22:02,520 --> 00:22:06,119
Speaker 3: is got to put a severe damper on his first

413
00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:07,879
Speaker 3: season as an analyst.

414
00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:11,960
Speaker 5: General, how do you think it goes in San Francisco?

415
00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:14,040
Speaker 6: Brandon? I you could Trent Williams. Do you think we'll

416
00:22:14,080 --> 00:22:14,880
Speaker 6: see in week one?

417
00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:16,680
Speaker 5: And if not, is that going to be kind of

418
00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:19,040
Speaker 5: a Dwayne Brown like holdout all the way to like

419
00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:19,880
Speaker 5: week seven or eight.

420
00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:23,960
Speaker 3: Trent Williams is thirty six. Thirty six year old, don't

421
00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:26,480
Speaker 3: get big raises, and even though he played great and

422
00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:28,640
Speaker 3: he proved he to hold out miss the season, he's

423
00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:32,840
Speaker 3: already accrewed over four million dollars in fines. I like

424
00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:36,320
Speaker 3: to think that he'll come in. Remember when Walter Jones

425
00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:40,000
Speaker 3: and Orlando Pace used to have these holdouts. They just

426
00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:43,480
Speaker 3: didn't want to go through the offseason program and training camp,

427
00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:46,240
Speaker 3: and they would report when the big checks started. Put

428
00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:48,640
Speaker 3: them in the lineup, and they never skipped the beat.

429
00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:51,080
Speaker 3: And I think they will find a way to give

430
00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:54,560
Speaker 3: Williams some money and he'll come in.

431
00:22:54,880 --> 00:22:54,960
Speaker 7: You.

432
00:22:55,720 --> 00:22:59,360
Speaker 3: I keep thinking, at this time next week, if they

433
00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:03,600
Speaker 3: have not signed, when the big game checks start, that's

434
00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:05,120
Speaker 3: when teams need to worry.

435
00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:07,760
Speaker 2: General, what do you have going on in Houston? Texans

436
00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:08,440
Speaker 2: dot Com.

437
00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:11,240
Speaker 3: I got that call him on a one year anniversary

438
00:23:11,320 --> 00:23:14,400
Speaker 3: on CJ. Stroud being named the starter and how that's

439
00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:18,000
Speaker 3: worked out pretty well. And uh, I can't remember what

440
00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:21,000
Speaker 3: the other one. I have something about the roster, guys.

441
00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:23,800
Speaker 3: Thank you very much. As always, this time next week

442
00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:26,160
Speaker 3: we're gonna be fired up even more.

443
00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:26,960
Speaker 2: Even more.

444
00:23:27,119 --> 00:23:27,480
Speaker 6: Thank you.

445
00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:28,040
Speaker 2: General.

446
00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:32,080
Speaker 1: Coming up, I've got questions. Johnny has answers. He better

447
00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:35,840
Speaker 1: we'll find out. It's Texans Radio. Back to it here

448
00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:38,760
Speaker 1: on Texans Radio. Mark Vandermain and John Harris with you. Johnny,

449
00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:42,840
Speaker 1: I've got questions, You've got answers, let's have them. Let's

450
00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:45,600
Speaker 1: go with this your reaction and did they do the

451
00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:49,439
Speaker 1: right thing the Pittsburgh Steelers with Russell Wilson at starting quarterback.

452
00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:52,160
Speaker 1: We'll get back to some Texans topics. Everybody calmed down,

453
00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:53,840
Speaker 1: but we wanted to talk about some around the league

454
00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:56,720
Speaker 1: stuff too and mix it in because this was a

455
00:23:56,760 --> 00:23:59,240
Speaker 1: ten win team last year. I know the Texans blew

456
00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:02,520
Speaker 1: the doors off, but there's still gonna be a factor,

457
00:24:02,560 --> 00:24:05,440
Speaker 1: possibly in the postseason, maybe with Russell Wilson.

458
00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:07,560
Speaker 2: Did they blow it or get it right? Johnny?

459
00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:08,760
Speaker 6: I think they did it right.

460
00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:11,639
Speaker 5: I said when they got Wilson and then they end

461
00:24:11,720 --> 00:24:13,439
Speaker 5: up trading for Fields. I thought, first of all, they

462
00:24:13,440 --> 00:24:15,760
Speaker 5: didn't give up much for Fields, and I'm like, look,

463
00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:20,480
Speaker 5: you go with Russell, and I think if Russell, I'll

464
00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:22,639
Speaker 5: put it this way, if Russell is twenty Russell was

465
00:24:22,680 --> 00:24:25,280
Speaker 5: twenty five and eight last year twenty five tds eight interceptions,

466
00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:27,280
Speaker 5: I think this dealers would take that.

467
00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:28,760
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think they would.

468
00:24:28,760 --> 00:24:31,919
Speaker 5: And I think Arthur Smith will give Russell enough to

469
00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:37,240
Speaker 5: allow him to be successful. But let's say it doesn't work, Okay,

470
00:24:37,320 --> 00:24:39,920
Speaker 5: well you turn it over to Justin Fields. But then

471
00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:43,200
Speaker 5: you're gonna have to change the offense a bit. You're

472
00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:46,240
Speaker 5: gonna have to make sure you give some design runs

473
00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:49,760
Speaker 5: to Justin Fields and get that much to get.

474
00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:51,280
Speaker 6: That much out of him, So you gonna have to

475
00:24:51,359 --> 00:24:52,200
Speaker 6: change the offense.

476
00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:55,320
Speaker 5: So I would think, go with what you've got right now,

477
00:24:55,440 --> 00:24:59,200
Speaker 5: Russell Wilson, and if it's not right, you'll know within

478
00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:02,679
Speaker 5: three weeks you can still salvage the season by going

479
00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:05,640
Speaker 5: with Justin Fields. But I don't know if you'd gone

480
00:25:05,640 --> 00:25:08,840
Speaker 5: the other way around and gone back to Russell, I

481
00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:10,920
Speaker 5: think that would have been probably a little trickier.

482
00:25:11,280 --> 00:25:13,840
Speaker 6: So I think they probably handled it right. I don't

483
00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:14,600
Speaker 6: think there was much.

484
00:25:14,560 --> 00:25:18,639
Speaker 5: Separation, much separation between the two, so I would give

485
00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:23,080
Speaker 5: Russell three weeks four weeks shortleash. The other thing I

486
00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:26,440
Speaker 5: might do is I might have a package for both

487
00:25:26,480 --> 00:25:27,960
Speaker 5: of them being in the game at the same time.

488
00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:30,960
Speaker 5: And I know people were like, wait, what slash both

489
00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:33,040
Speaker 5: of them being in the game at the same time.

490
00:25:33,080 --> 00:25:36,320
Speaker 5: I think there can be something there if you're creative

491
00:25:36,520 --> 00:25:39,320
Speaker 5: enough to go ahead and do it, and then maybe

492
00:25:39,320 --> 00:25:41,080
Speaker 5: you can use both of them and get something out

493
00:25:41,119 --> 00:25:44,000
Speaker 5: of both of them instead of just one starting quarterback.

494
00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:47,000
Speaker 1: You know, I don't know if Florio came up with this.

495
00:25:47,320 --> 00:25:49,840
Speaker 1: I think he quoted Belichick. Let's just credit both of

496
00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:53,200
Speaker 1: them for the moment. And while we're on the Steelers,

497
00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:57,600
Speaker 1: they were saying, hey for the kickoffs. Put Fields and

498
00:25:57,920 --> 00:26:01,760
Speaker 1: Carderyl Patterson in the game at the same time and

499
00:26:02,359 --> 00:26:05,000
Speaker 1: just make the opposing team decide, are you gonna kick

500
00:26:05,040 --> 00:26:06,800
Speaker 1: off to those guys who just boot it into the

501
00:26:06,880 --> 00:26:08,840
Speaker 1: end zone? What would your decision be?

502
00:26:09,640 --> 00:26:11,640
Speaker 6: Uh Man, that's a tough one.

503
00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:14,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, take your chances, or just go ahead and give

504
00:26:14,119 --> 00:26:15,200
Speaker 1: them the thirty yard line.

505
00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:17,119
Speaker 5: I think just give them a thirty yard line yeah,

506
00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:18,920
Speaker 5: I think for that team, give them the thirty yard

507
00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:20,639
Speaker 5: line and enforce them tore driving on me.

508
00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:23,520
Speaker 6: I think that's what I would do. I don't know

509
00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:28,040
Speaker 6: that I want. CP still scares me. I mean, my goodness,

510
00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:30,320
Speaker 6: I do not want the ball in his hands.

511
00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:32,199
Speaker 5: I think I would much rather have them put the

512
00:26:32,200 --> 00:26:33,800
Speaker 5: ball to thirty yard line. And that's gonna be a

513
00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:36,040
Speaker 5: decision a lot of teams are gonna end up having

514
00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:38,720
Speaker 5: to make. I mean, if you're playing against us Mark,

515
00:26:38,880 --> 00:26:40,480
Speaker 5: what do you want to do?

516
00:26:40,040 --> 00:26:41,800
Speaker 6: You want to kick it? Or do you want to

517
00:26:41,800 --> 00:26:43,399
Speaker 6: give CJ's job the ball to thirty?

518
00:26:44,040 --> 00:26:44,440
Speaker 2: Yeah?

519
00:26:44,480 --> 00:26:47,159
Speaker 1: And or if you have Pierce and or Sims or

520
00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:50,560
Speaker 1: both back there and they are really having a good

521
00:26:50,560 --> 00:26:53,240
Speaker 1: game in the return department, yeah, you're gonna kick it

522
00:26:53,240 --> 00:26:55,199
Speaker 1: into the end zone, even though you're given CJ the

523
00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:57,119
Speaker 1: ball at the thirty and it's picked your poison at

524
00:26:57,119 --> 00:26:57,639
Speaker 1: that point.

525
00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:00,399
Speaker 2: So a lot of decisions to be made, you know.

526
00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:02,880
Speaker 1: I just was watching some preseason stuff because they keep

527
00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:05,320
Speaker 1: rolling in on NFL Network, and I'm watching these teams

528
00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:07,119
Speaker 1: kickoff and I'm slowly getting used to it.

529
00:27:07,359 --> 00:27:09,720
Speaker 2: I know, Andre, who we work with, does not like it.

530
00:27:10,040 --> 00:27:13,520
Speaker 1: Get off my lawn. With the new kickoff return. But

531
00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:16,160
Speaker 1: we'll see it in the regular season starting next week.

532
00:27:16,200 --> 00:27:20,399
Speaker 1: In fact, one week from tonight. It opens with the

533
00:27:20,560 --> 00:27:23,240
Speaker 1: Chiefs and the Ravens, right yeah.

534
00:27:23,080 --> 00:27:23,840
Speaker 6: Chiefs and Ravens.

535
00:27:23,880 --> 00:27:27,040
Speaker 5: And then the next day is the Packers and Eagles

536
00:27:27,040 --> 00:27:27,920
Speaker 5: from Brazil.

537
00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:30,560
Speaker 1: Oh, that is gonna be so cool. That is going

538
00:27:30,640 --> 00:27:33,239
Speaker 1: to be so cool. Friday football. I am so in

539
00:27:33,920 --> 00:27:37,120
Speaker 1: on that. And you got college football tonight. By the way,

540
00:27:37,720 --> 00:27:40,480
Speaker 1: since I brought it up, is there anything good tonight?

541
00:27:41,040 --> 00:27:44,480
Speaker 1: At first clans, I didn't see anything good. Why listen,

542
00:27:44,560 --> 00:27:48,720
Speaker 1: college football. We have removed the final preseason game from

543
00:27:48,760 --> 00:27:52,760
Speaker 1: this night. It's your turn to put up a showcase game.

544
00:27:53,080 --> 00:27:56,040
Speaker 1: A showcase game on Thursday night, Monday night?

545
00:27:56,119 --> 00:27:56,719
Speaker 2: Is it Monday?

546
00:27:56,840 --> 00:27:59,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, Labor Day night. They're giving us Boston College Florida State.

547
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:03,399
Speaker 1: You know that's not a huge game. It is Florida

548
00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:06,680
Speaker 1: State BC whatever, Bill O'Brien. We have some local interest here,

549
00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:09,800
Speaker 1: of course, but I'd rather have something like that, at

550
00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:14,160
Speaker 1: least that good tonight, a showcase game for college football.

551
00:28:14,280 --> 00:28:16,560
Speaker 1: Am I right? They're blowing it? We should do the

552
00:28:16,560 --> 00:28:18,520
Speaker 1: whole segment. Are they blowing it or not? Are they

553
00:28:18,560 --> 00:28:20,199
Speaker 1: blowing at Johnny.

554
00:28:20,720 --> 00:28:22,720
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think they're missing out.

555
00:28:22,800 --> 00:28:26,639
Speaker 5: But what they decided to do was not capitalize on

556
00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:31,320
Speaker 5: the Thursday. They decided to capitalize on Saturday because I

557
00:28:31,359 --> 00:28:35,360
Speaker 5: think as college football sees itself, they see it as Saturday.

558
00:28:35,440 --> 00:28:38,440
Speaker 6: Saturday is their day. So let's make Saturday the Marquis Day.

559
00:28:38,560 --> 00:28:41,360
Speaker 5: And I can't, I mean, I can't argue with what

560
00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:43,880
Speaker 5: they've done on Saturday because they got a triple header

561
00:28:43,920 --> 00:28:47,720
Speaker 5: and ABC. Let's go start with Georgia Clemson Atlanta. Then

562
00:28:48,200 --> 00:28:51,120
Speaker 5: and I know you'll like this one. The Canes go

563
00:28:51,360 --> 00:28:56,600
Speaker 5: to Gainesville, huge, huge, thirty. That's massive, and you've said

564
00:28:56,640 --> 00:28:59,360
Speaker 5: this many many times. Those schools do not like each other.

565
00:28:59,720 --> 00:29:03,800
Speaker 5: And then the nightcap is Notre Dame at A and M.

566
00:29:04,360 --> 00:29:06,600
Speaker 5: And so what they decided to do was you Saturday,

567
00:29:06,640 --> 00:29:10,120
Speaker 5: not Thursday. Now tonight you'll get North Carolina Minnesota. You'll

568
00:29:10,160 --> 00:29:15,360
Speaker 5: get that. And that's probably, I guess that's probably the

569
00:29:15,360 --> 00:29:21,200
Speaker 5: most marquee game, matching, you know, matching teams that people

570
00:29:21,240 --> 00:29:22,560
Speaker 5: would would recognize.

571
00:29:22,680 --> 00:29:23,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know.

572
00:29:23,800 --> 00:29:25,920
Speaker 6: Me, you know, there'll be something that's out there.

573
00:29:26,320 --> 00:29:32,320
Speaker 5: I know that Colorado plays North Dakota State, and that's

574
00:29:32,360 --> 00:29:36,160
Speaker 5: gonna be a game that I think everybody should keep

575
00:29:36,160 --> 00:29:38,040
Speaker 5: their eyes on and that is gonna be.

576
00:29:38,280 --> 00:29:43,120
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's tonight. So that is tremendous.

577
00:29:43,720 --> 00:29:46,760
Speaker 5: That is gonna be a fantastic football game because I

578
00:29:46,800 --> 00:29:51,080
Speaker 5: don't think anybody, anybody wants to play North Dakota State

579
00:29:51,080 --> 00:29:53,920
Speaker 5: in an opener, especially a team that made as much

580
00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:59,640
Speaker 5: noise as Colorado has made this offseason. So you've got that.

581
00:30:00,200 --> 00:30:03,800
Speaker 5: I believe that's I believe that's tonight. So you've got

582
00:30:03,840 --> 00:30:07,000
Speaker 5: Colorado taking on North Dakota State.

583
00:30:07,120 --> 00:30:11,280
Speaker 6: So there's there's still some things, but I think they

584
00:30:11,360 --> 00:30:14,520
Speaker 6: just decided to take Saturday as the game that they

585
00:30:14,520 --> 00:30:16,320
Speaker 6: were going to uh, the day they were going to

586
00:30:16,400 --> 00:30:16,920
Speaker 6: lock in on.

587
00:30:17,640 --> 00:30:20,000
Speaker 5: But you know what, seven o'clock Norcota State, Colorado. I'll

588
00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:20,960
Speaker 5: be tuned into that one for sure.

589
00:30:21,400 --> 00:30:24,360
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, right after this show as a matter of fact,

590
00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:27,360
Speaker 1: but you really want to keep Area forty five rolling

591
00:30:27,520 --> 00:30:30,080
Speaker 1: after this show too, so have the sound off on

592
00:30:30,160 --> 00:30:30,680
Speaker 1: the TV.

593
00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:31,440
Speaker 2: Of course.

594
00:30:31,760 --> 00:30:34,640
Speaker 1: All right, back to the NFL and a team that

595
00:30:34,680 --> 00:30:38,320
Speaker 1: the Texans will be playing this year would be the

596
00:30:38,360 --> 00:30:42,160
Speaker 1: New England Patriots. It was decision day probably the days

597
00:30:42,240 --> 00:30:45,480
Speaker 1: leading up to this and many days ago, but it

598
00:30:45,520 --> 00:30:49,560
Speaker 1: was announced that Jacoby Brissette would be starting for the

599
00:30:49,600 --> 00:30:52,760
Speaker 1: New England Patriots. Do you think they're blowing it or

600
00:30:52,800 --> 00:30:54,880
Speaker 1: not Johnny by starting Brissette, What do you think?

601
00:30:55,680 --> 00:30:57,040
Speaker 6: No, I don't think they're blowing it.

602
00:30:57,120 --> 00:30:59,640
Speaker 5: I think I think Drop Mayo knows the kind of

603
00:30:59,640 --> 00:31:01,760
Speaker 5: team that he's got right there. I think he knows

604
00:31:01,760 --> 00:31:06,040
Speaker 5: he's got a pre talented defensive team, and he hopes

605
00:31:06,160 --> 00:31:12,800
Speaker 5: that a veteran quarterback behind a questionable offensive line right now,

606
00:31:13,720 --> 00:31:16,640
Speaker 5: just keep them in the game, just don't make mistakes.

607
00:31:17,240 --> 00:31:18,720
Speaker 6: Stay as healthy as possible.

608
00:31:18,760 --> 00:31:21,320
Speaker 5: The irony of there is that Jacoby Brissett had gone

609
00:31:21,360 --> 00:31:24,400
Speaker 5: out of that game against Washington in the preseason because he.

610
00:31:24,360 --> 00:31:25,080
Speaker 6: Got landed on.

611
00:31:26,520 --> 00:31:29,400
Speaker 5: But I think it's I think it's that I think

612
00:31:29,480 --> 00:31:32,840
Speaker 5: that Mayo looks at it and says, I don't want

613
00:31:32,880 --> 00:31:35,440
Speaker 5: to take Drake may and just destroy his confidence by

614
00:31:35,440 --> 00:31:38,640
Speaker 5: putting him behind an offensive line that really isn't where

615
00:31:38,680 --> 00:31:42,560
Speaker 5: it needs to be. So I kind of get it.

616
00:31:43,360 --> 00:31:47,040
Speaker 5: The flip side of that is, Drake May's got to play.

617
00:31:47,160 --> 00:31:49,320
Speaker 5: I think by the time we play them, Drake Mayo

618
00:31:49,440 --> 00:31:55,880
Speaker 5: be starting. Because in all in all honesty, New England's

619
00:31:55,880 --> 00:31:58,360
Speaker 5: season in twenty twenty four is not about making a playoffs,

620
00:31:58,360 --> 00:31:58,720
Speaker 5: are going.

621
00:31:58,600 --> 00:31:59,440
Speaker 6: To win a super Bowl.

622
00:31:59,560 --> 00:32:01,600
Speaker 5: They're all season is all about did we get it

623
00:32:01,680 --> 00:32:02,560
Speaker 5: right with Drake May?

624
00:32:03,080 --> 00:32:04,480
Speaker 6: So they got to figure that out and.

625
00:32:04,400 --> 00:32:07,400
Speaker 5: Maybe maybe the second half of the season you see

626
00:32:07,440 --> 00:32:08,840
Speaker 5: him and then you're like, Okay, yeah, we made the

627
00:32:08,920 --> 00:32:09,280
Speaker 5: right deal.

628
00:32:09,280 --> 00:32:11,720
Speaker 6: And maybe you don't know it in full after this

629
00:32:11,760 --> 00:32:12,920
Speaker 6: one year, but.

630
00:32:12,920 --> 00:32:14,800
Speaker 5: You at least need to see some things that you

631
00:32:14,920 --> 00:32:17,560
Speaker 5: feel excited about and get the fans excited and hope

632
00:32:17,760 --> 00:32:20,920
Speaker 5: for the Patriots. So it's not really surprising that Kobe

633
00:32:20,920 --> 00:32:24,520
Speaker 5: Brissett will start. I just have a feeling that leash

634
00:32:24,640 --> 00:32:27,280
Speaker 5: is probably pretty short. But I think by the time

635
00:32:27,280 --> 00:32:30,440
Speaker 5: we face them October thirteenth, I think we'll see Drake

636
00:32:30,480 --> 00:32:31,480
Speaker 5: May at that point.

637
00:32:31,720 --> 00:32:34,440
Speaker 1: All right, back to the Texans here, and we mentioned

638
00:32:34,480 --> 00:32:37,240
Speaker 1: it in segment number one how he would fit in.

639
00:32:37,720 --> 00:32:41,520
Speaker 1: Keiden slovis the new quarterback who they got off waivers.

640
00:32:41,760 --> 00:32:44,080
Speaker 2: Do they claim him? I guess he passed through waivers.

641
00:32:44,080 --> 00:32:44,320
Speaker 6: I don't know.

642
00:32:44,400 --> 00:32:46,440
Speaker 2: He's on the practice for waivers. He's on the practice

643
00:32:46,480 --> 00:32:48,280
Speaker 2: squad and he was with the Colts.

644
00:32:48,680 --> 00:32:52,120
Speaker 1: So this is one of those Hey, we got your

645
00:32:52,160 --> 00:32:55,000
Speaker 1: guy who knows your offense situations.

646
00:32:55,120 --> 00:32:58,000
Speaker 2: Is it not if anybody knows the plans.

647
00:32:57,600 --> 00:33:01,560
Speaker 1: For Richardson, he does. He's in that quarterback room. He

648
00:33:01,640 --> 00:33:03,880
Speaker 1: knows what they're trying to accomplish here. I don't know

649
00:33:03,920 --> 00:33:08,360
Speaker 1: how much it really helps or not, but it can't hurt, right, Yeah,

650
00:33:08,360 --> 00:33:08,840
Speaker 1: I don't think.

651
00:33:08,720 --> 00:33:10,520
Speaker 6: It can hurt. I mean, look, you're gonna take our

652
00:33:10,560 --> 00:33:13,320
Speaker 6: Mctelevanah game. We're gonna take your Keaton Slovis.

653
00:33:13,880 --> 00:33:17,920
Speaker 5: And I also think the third quarterback especially, you know,

654
00:33:18,040 --> 00:33:22,640
Speaker 5: look CJ's second year, but he's experienced, and then Davis

655
00:33:22,800 --> 00:33:25,960
Speaker 5: is in year four and he's definitely got plenty of experience.

656
00:33:26,040 --> 00:33:29,479
Speaker 5: So I think that third quarterback being a guy that

657
00:33:29,880 --> 00:33:33,920
Speaker 5: you can build with, try and just see what you've got.

658
00:33:34,120 --> 00:33:37,280
Speaker 5: He's a guy that had shown at times in college that.

659
00:33:37,320 --> 00:33:38,840
Speaker 6: Oh this can look pretty good.

660
00:33:39,240 --> 00:33:41,480
Speaker 5: Maybe he gets in our system, we can continue to

661
00:33:41,480 --> 00:33:45,120
Speaker 5: coach him up and do something with him. So I

662
00:33:45,680 --> 00:33:48,880
Speaker 5: like it, And you're right, what can you get from

663
00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:50,680
Speaker 5: him from his time with the Colts?

664
00:33:50,680 --> 00:33:50,880
Speaker 6: Now?

665
00:33:51,080 --> 00:33:53,400
Speaker 5: Knowing to Miko Ryan's known as coaching staff, they're not

666
00:33:53,400 --> 00:33:55,960
Speaker 5: gonna go take Keaton Slows in a room and put

667
00:33:55,960 --> 00:33:57,920
Speaker 5: a big bright light on him and go what are

668
00:33:57,920 --> 00:33:58,360
Speaker 5: they doing?

669
00:33:58,720 --> 00:33:59,520
Speaker 6: What are they doing Richard.

670
00:33:59,600 --> 00:34:01,720
Speaker 5: I don't think that's happening, but you know, if Keithan

671
00:34:01,720 --> 00:34:04,920
Speaker 5: wants to offer up, hey, they might do this. I'm

672
00:34:04,960 --> 00:34:08,080
Speaker 5: sure that the both staffs are gonna end up listening

673
00:34:08,120 --> 00:34:08,360
Speaker 5: to that.

674
00:34:08,760 --> 00:34:10,879
Speaker 6: But I like it. I like that Slovis is there.

675
00:34:11,080 --> 00:34:12,240
Speaker 6: I like the other two guys.

676
00:34:12,280 --> 00:34:14,200
Speaker 5: I mean, I like all four guys that they put

677
00:34:14,200 --> 00:34:17,880
Speaker 5: on the practice squad today. Brandon Daniels tackle, long, athletic

678
00:34:17,960 --> 00:34:21,080
Speaker 5: tackle young could work with from Utah. Cole fothering him

679
00:34:21,200 --> 00:34:23,520
Speaker 5: was also a tight end of Utah. Utah spit out

680
00:34:23,560 --> 00:34:26,000
Speaker 5: some tight ends. But the other two guys, Javier Johnson

681
00:34:26,080 --> 00:34:28,719
Speaker 5: wide receiver slash running back from my house date Mark Perry.

682
00:34:28,520 --> 00:34:30,839
Speaker 6: Safety from TCU. They both have a connection to CJ.

683
00:34:30,920 --> 00:34:33,560
Speaker 5: Stroud, So you know, just having that little bit of

684
00:34:33,600 --> 00:34:36,120
Speaker 5: a connection with somebody I think can help out a

685
00:34:36,160 --> 00:34:38,719
Speaker 5: young player. So glad to see those guys. I had

686
00:34:38,760 --> 00:34:40,759
Speaker 5: a draftable great on Mark Perry for sure. I thought

687
00:34:40,800 --> 00:34:43,000
Speaker 5: he might end up in Houston as one of the

688
00:34:43,080 --> 00:34:44,160
Speaker 5: draft picks, but they.

689
00:34:44,080 --> 00:34:45,560
Speaker 6: Went in and went with Kaylen Bullock. I think that

690
00:34:45,640 --> 00:34:46,160
Speaker 6: was smart.

691
00:34:46,600 --> 00:34:48,239
Speaker 5: But now that I like, I'd like that they've got

692
00:34:48,280 --> 00:34:53,360
Speaker 5: Mark Perry that they can work with. Really really good athlete,

693
00:34:53,600 --> 00:34:57,719
Speaker 5: really good athlete, great speed, good size. I wouldn't be

694
00:34:57,760 --> 00:35:00,399
Speaker 5: surprised if over the next year or two, Mark Berry

695
00:35:00,400 --> 00:35:02,160
Speaker 5: Stacey here in Houston that he's a guy that can

696
00:35:02,200 --> 00:35:03,959
Speaker 5: work his way onto the fifty three man roster.

697
00:35:04,160 --> 00:35:06,840
Speaker 1: All right, are you ready for the most Texans football

698
00:35:06,960 --> 00:35:08,840
Speaker 1: nerd question prediction?

699
00:35:09,200 --> 00:35:09,439
Speaker 2: Ever?

700
00:35:10,120 --> 00:35:10,520
Speaker 6: Of course?

701
00:35:10,840 --> 00:35:12,040
Speaker 2: Okay, here it is.

702
00:35:12,680 --> 00:35:16,279
Speaker 1: Give me the first two practice squad elevations.

703
00:35:17,080 --> 00:35:21,640
Speaker 5: Oh gosh, you know what I've actually thought about this?

704
00:35:21,719 --> 00:35:24,520
Speaker 6: Okay, of course I have actually thought about this. I

705
00:35:24,560 --> 00:35:26,360
Speaker 6: think one of them will be Solomon Byrd.

706
00:35:26,760 --> 00:35:32,160
Speaker 5: Okay, just to prevent against not having enough defensive ends.

707
00:35:32,239 --> 00:35:37,040
Speaker 5: If Will Anderson is not totally one hundred percent, you know,

708
00:35:37,080 --> 00:35:38,040
Speaker 5: he can play through it.

709
00:35:38,080 --> 00:35:40,040
Speaker 6: But if he's not one hundred percent, and they've got

710
00:35:40,080 --> 00:35:41,520
Speaker 6: to have a fourth defensive end.

711
00:35:41,880 --> 00:35:44,120
Speaker 5: So I kind of feel like Solomon Byrd is going

712
00:35:44,200 --> 00:35:47,439
Speaker 5: to end up being one of them. Uh. The other

713
00:35:47,520 --> 00:35:51,160
Speaker 5: one I think might be Danzelo Ross, a corner that

714
00:35:51,200 --> 00:35:53,360
Speaker 5: has played before he started in the NFL. You know,

715
00:35:53,400 --> 00:35:55,520
Speaker 5: I think for the Texans he's probably started a game

716
00:35:55,600 --> 00:35:58,480
Speaker 5: or two at least. I think Danselo Ross, again a

717
00:35:58,520 --> 00:36:02,240
Speaker 5: special teamer, has given them good things on special teams.

718
00:36:02,600 --> 00:36:05,560
Speaker 5: I think corner is still kind of up in the

719
00:36:05,560 --> 00:36:07,320
Speaker 5: air behind Laster in Stingy.

720
00:36:07,600 --> 00:36:10,000
Speaker 6: You know, what's the status of Chris Boyd.

721
00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:11,520
Speaker 5: You look, last time we saw Chris who was going

722
00:36:11,560 --> 00:36:15,080
Speaker 5: off the field hurt against the LA Rams the preseason,

723
00:36:15,120 --> 00:36:18,879
Speaker 5: and we haven't seen Jeff Acuda for four weeks, right,

724
00:36:18,960 --> 00:36:21,799
Speaker 5: So I think it's gonna end up being bird Indiangela

725
00:36:21,920 --> 00:36:22,800
Speaker 5: ross As the first.

726
00:36:22,640 --> 00:36:24,520
Speaker 6: Two does actually make a lot of senses. I talk

727
00:36:24,600 --> 00:36:26,120
Speaker 6: myself into it and through it.

728
00:36:26,200 --> 00:36:29,279
Speaker 1: I think that sounds like very intelligent reasoning there. The

729
00:36:29,400 --> 00:36:32,399
Speaker 1: first injury report comes out on Wednesday, so they will

730
00:36:32,400 --> 00:36:36,280
Speaker 1: practice on Monday, but nothing will be released after Monday.

731
00:36:36,520 --> 00:36:39,200
Speaker 1: Demiko Ryans will of course be peppered with questions from

732
00:36:39,239 --> 00:36:42,239
Speaker 1: the media about the health of players, and he'll be

733
00:36:42,360 --> 00:36:46,080
Speaker 1: revealing nothing. And I love it watching Demiko and listening

734
00:36:46,080 --> 00:36:49,719
Speaker 1: to him deflect those kinds of questions. He's getting very

735
00:36:49,800 --> 00:36:53,200
Speaker 1: adept at doing that, and you can't blame the media

736
00:36:53,239 --> 00:36:56,080
Speaker 1: for trying and you know, sort of backdooring and flanker

737
00:36:56,120 --> 00:36:58,239
Speaker 1: approach to asking these types of questions.

738
00:36:58,520 --> 00:37:00,120
Speaker 2: But he's handling these very well well.

739
00:37:00,360 --> 00:37:03,080
Speaker 1: But Wednesday is the first injury report and then we

740
00:37:03,120 --> 00:37:07,480
Speaker 1: are off to Indye and it is gonna be awesome.

741
00:37:07,560 --> 00:37:09,680
Speaker 1: All right, Johnny, that's gonna do it for now.

742
00:37:09,800 --> 00:37:10,319
Speaker 6: Thanks Mark.

743
00:37:10,400 --> 00:37:13,400
Speaker 1: Coming up, the guys on the postgame show, Sean Pendergast

744
00:37:13,440 --> 00:37:16,520
Speaker 1: and Clinston are caught up with Potter Tommy Townsend. Very

745
00:37:16,600 --> 00:37:19,840
Speaker 1: interesting stuff from the new potter who worked for the

746
00:37:19,920 --> 00:37:22,759
Speaker 1: Kansas City Chiefs last year. Let's get to it next

747
00:37:22,800 --> 00:37:25,880
Speaker 1: year on Texans All Access. Okay, one more segment, and

748
00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:28,360
Speaker 1: it's a good one because we're going to relive the

749
00:37:28,400 --> 00:37:31,680
Speaker 1: postgame interview that the guys Sean and Clint did with

750
00:37:31,760 --> 00:37:32,759
Speaker 1: Tommy Townsend.

751
00:37:32,760 --> 00:37:33,680
Speaker 2: We're gonna bump.

752
00:37:33,520 --> 00:37:36,880
Speaker 1: Back in with a putting highlight which has never before

753
00:37:36,920 --> 00:37:39,439
Speaker 1: happened in the history of Texans Radio. And those guys

754
00:37:39,480 --> 00:37:43,319
Speaker 1: get into the interview with Tommy Townsend. Super interesting guy,

755
00:37:43,800 --> 00:37:46,239
Speaker 1: all pro a couple of years ago. Let's hit it,

756
00:37:46,360 --> 00:37:50,200
Speaker 1: Tommy delivers. Smith is not gonna touch it. Let's bounce

757
00:37:50,239 --> 00:37:54,120
Speaker 1: inside the five and worm D'Angelo ross at the one

758
00:37:54,239 --> 00:37:56,920
Speaker 1: yard line. Beautiful, and now the Rams have to quarterback

759
00:37:57,000 --> 00:38:00,920
Speaker 1: sneak it just to avoid a safety situation. Then, but

760
00:38:01,120 --> 00:38:05,200
Speaker 1: fifteen seconds to go, it's at the one squarely.

761
00:38:06,239 --> 00:38:06,600
Speaker 6: All right?

762
00:38:06,640 --> 00:38:08,319
Speaker 4: That was that was the one that was down at

763
00:38:08,360 --> 00:38:09,960
Speaker 4: the one yard line, the punt down at the one

764
00:38:10,040 --> 00:38:13,160
Speaker 4: yard line, four inside the ten, one down at the

765
00:38:13,160 --> 00:38:15,759
Speaker 4: one yard line. Today, I like that when we get

766
00:38:15,800 --> 00:38:17,520
Speaker 4: to bump in with a punting highlight. We don't get

767
00:38:17,520 --> 00:38:19,600
Speaker 4: to do that very often here on the post game show,

768
00:38:19,640 --> 00:38:22,359
Speaker 4: but we are pleased to be joined right now by

769
00:38:22,560 --> 00:38:25,319
Speaker 4: Texans punter Tommy Towns and joining us here on post

770
00:38:25,360 --> 00:38:28,319
Speaker 4: game Sean Pendergas, Clint Sterner with you. It's great, great

771
00:38:28,320 --> 00:38:30,880
Speaker 4: to meet you, great to see you give us the assessment.

772
00:38:30,920 --> 00:38:31,040
Speaker 5: Man.

773
00:38:31,040 --> 00:38:32,640
Speaker 4: How's your first training camp with the Texans?

774
00:38:32,680 --> 00:38:33,719
Speaker 7: Yeah, thanks for having me on.

775
00:38:34,239 --> 00:38:35,120
Speaker 6: I mean it was great.

776
00:38:35,200 --> 00:38:37,160
Speaker 7: I mean I feel like we made a lot of

777
00:38:37,160 --> 00:38:38,960
Speaker 7: progress over the you know, the course of the training

778
00:38:38,960 --> 00:38:41,600
Speaker 7: camp with special teams. So we've got a great unit

779
00:38:41,680 --> 00:38:44,120
Speaker 7: in awesome coaches. So it's been a great first training

780
00:38:44,120 --> 00:38:45,400
Speaker 7: camp here. And it was fun to have all the

781
00:38:45,400 --> 00:38:47,479
Speaker 7: fans out there and got a couple of hot days.

782
00:38:47,480 --> 00:38:48,959
Speaker 7: So take me back to my Florida days.

783
00:38:49,000 --> 00:38:50,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, there you go, there you go.

784
00:38:50,680 --> 00:38:53,440
Speaker 8: You're filling the shoes of Cam Johnston obviously, who was

785
00:38:53,560 --> 00:38:56,120
Speaker 8: a pretty good weapon. Heck back back into rough years,

786
00:38:56,120 --> 00:38:58,640
Speaker 8: he was he was arguably the best weapon in uniform,

787
00:38:58,680 --> 00:39:01,040
Speaker 8: to be honest with you. So, but filling those shoes,

788
00:39:01,040 --> 00:39:03,480
Speaker 8: he was a weaponman. You've I mean, we've we've been

789
00:39:03,520 --> 00:39:05,759
Speaker 8: as fans. We've enjoyed watching you obviously in the in

790
00:39:05,800 --> 00:39:09,040
Speaker 8: the preseason, but you know, just the thoughts of the

791
00:39:09,080 --> 00:39:11,200
Speaker 8: season and coming in and being the guy and and

792
00:39:11,400 --> 00:39:12,440
Speaker 8: uh and carrying that torch.

793
00:39:12,600 --> 00:39:14,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm super excited for it.

794
00:39:14,040 --> 00:39:15,919
Speaker 7: And uh, yeah, this is the second time I'm coming

795
00:39:15,960 --> 00:39:19,120
Speaker 7: into a team with big shoes to fill. So but yeah,

796
00:39:19,160 --> 00:39:22,000
Speaker 7: I'm definitely excited for it. And uh, you know, a

797
00:39:22,000 --> 00:39:23,879
Speaker 7: lot of the end over end balls, that's what I'm

798
00:39:23,880 --> 00:39:25,920
Speaker 7: really working on. And today I wanted to attack the

799
00:39:25,920 --> 00:39:27,400
Speaker 7: goal line a little bit more than I have the

800
00:39:27,520 --> 00:39:30,319
Speaker 7: you know, the previous preseason games, and I think we

801
00:39:30,360 --> 00:39:33,080
Speaker 7: did a pretty decent job of that today. So definitely

802
00:39:33,120 --> 00:39:35,080
Speaker 7: happy with the four inside the twenty.

803
00:39:35,200 --> 00:39:37,560
Speaker 4: Not too bad. Yeah, not bad at all. Tommy Towns

804
00:39:37,560 --> 00:39:39,879
Speaker 4: and Texans Punter joining us here on Texans post game.

805
00:39:40,600 --> 00:39:42,880
Speaker 4: You've obviously had an up close look and you were

806
00:39:42,920 --> 00:39:46,120
Speaker 4: part of a championship program there in Kansas City. That's

807
00:39:46,160 --> 00:39:48,239
Speaker 4: what the Texans are aspiring to be here. So I'm

808
00:39:48,239 --> 00:39:51,120
Speaker 4: just curious your perspective, what you've seen in Kansas City

809
00:39:51,200 --> 00:39:53,279
Speaker 4: and your time there and now what you've seen here.

810
00:39:53,360 --> 00:39:55,560
Speaker 4: Can you give us I don't know, comparing it or

811
00:39:55,680 --> 00:39:57,920
Speaker 4: just do you do you see some of the same

812
00:39:58,239 --> 00:40:01,200
Speaker 4: intricacies here in the the you know, the the ascension

813
00:40:01,239 --> 00:40:04,040
Speaker 4: here possibly some of the similarities that you saw in

814
00:40:04,120 --> 00:40:04,680
Speaker 4: Kansas City.

815
00:40:04,719 --> 00:40:06,840
Speaker 7: Yes, so, I mean, first off, it's it's definitely like

816
00:40:06,880 --> 00:40:09,840
Speaker 7: a different organization and that's something that you know, you

817
00:40:09,960 --> 00:40:11,719
Speaker 7: have to you have to learn to work with when

818
00:40:11,760 --> 00:40:14,319
Speaker 7: you come to a new team. But I mean, there's

819
00:40:14,360 --> 00:40:16,520
Speaker 7: so much talent on the roster. I'm super excited for it.

820
00:40:16,560 --> 00:40:20,120
Speaker 7: I've definitely seen glimpses of great things to come. So

821
00:40:20,320 --> 00:40:22,160
Speaker 7: I couldn't be more fired up for the season and

822
00:40:22,280 --> 00:40:23,960
Speaker 7: just let everyone go out and work and just do

823
00:40:24,040 --> 00:40:25,399
Speaker 7: their things so they're gonna do great.

824
00:40:25,480 --> 00:40:26,319
Speaker 6: Yeah, tell me what.

825
00:40:26,320 --> 00:40:30,120
Speaker 8: About the the swagger for a lack of better terms,

826
00:40:30,160 --> 00:40:32,800
Speaker 8: And in terms of to Sean's point in the question

827
00:40:32,880 --> 00:40:34,920
Speaker 8: of being in Kansas City and kind of seeing the

828
00:40:35,000 --> 00:40:38,040
Speaker 8: vibe and how people carry themselves and how how a

829
00:40:38,120 --> 00:40:42,759
Speaker 8: championship organization, uh it looks and feels and operates on

830
00:40:42,800 --> 00:40:45,480
Speaker 8: a day to day basis. And look, we all understand

831
00:40:45,520 --> 00:40:48,440
Speaker 8: that this is is a an organization that's elite. I mean,

832
00:40:48,440 --> 00:40:50,080
Speaker 8: it's one of the better ones, and how it's ran

833
00:40:50,200 --> 00:40:53,120
Speaker 8: obviously with some special dudes. But for a guy that's

834
00:40:53,160 --> 00:40:55,640
Speaker 8: been in that locker room recently to come here kind

835
00:40:55,640 --> 00:40:57,839
Speaker 8: of compare the two, if you will, if there if

836
00:40:57,880 --> 00:41:00,640
Speaker 8: there are, if there are things to compare.

837
00:41:00,320 --> 00:41:03,080
Speaker 7: I mean, the big thing I see is a big comparison.

838
00:41:03,120 --> 00:41:05,000
Speaker 7: It's just the confidence in the locker room. Just the

839
00:41:05,040 --> 00:41:07,840
Speaker 7: confidence that the guys having themselves and the confidence that

840
00:41:07,840 --> 00:41:10,320
Speaker 7: they have in the team and the units offense, defense,

841
00:41:10,360 --> 00:41:12,560
Speaker 7: special teams. I mean, that's one of the biggest things,

842
00:41:12,640 --> 00:41:14,920
Speaker 7: is you know, to just be able to go out

843
00:41:14,920 --> 00:41:17,200
Speaker 7: there and just let it loose and and just play

844
00:41:17,239 --> 00:41:19,760
Speaker 7: your game. So so yeah, that's one of the biggest

845
00:41:19,760 --> 00:41:22,279
Speaker 7: comparisons I've seen. And yeah, like I said, I'm just

846
00:41:22,320 --> 00:41:24,560
Speaker 7: I'm fired up. I Mean, these guys are ready to go,

847
00:41:24,680 --> 00:41:27,360
Speaker 7: So I'm happy for it. But you know, that was

848
00:41:27,400 --> 00:41:29,560
Speaker 7: something I was really looking for, and you know, hitting

849
00:41:29,600 --> 00:41:33,040
Speaker 7: free agency was you know, coming to an organization like this,

850
00:41:33,160 --> 00:41:36,040
Speaker 7: a team like this where you know there's a lot

851
00:41:36,080 --> 00:41:38,200
Speaker 7: of energy, confidence, talent.

852
00:41:38,360 --> 00:41:41,640
Speaker 4: So yeah, fired up. Yeah, you've had a lot of success.

853
00:41:41,680 --> 00:41:42,920
Speaker 4: I mean, there were probably a lot of teams. Your

854
00:41:42,960 --> 00:41:45,160
Speaker 4: phone was probably ringing quite a bit during free agency?

855
00:41:45,200 --> 00:41:47,760
Speaker 4: Is that what kind of what what drew you to

856
00:41:47,760 --> 00:41:49,359
Speaker 4: to the Houston Texans specifically?

857
00:41:49,440 --> 00:41:51,800
Speaker 7: I mean, geez, I mean everything, Like I said, a team,

858
00:41:52,360 --> 00:41:54,799
Speaker 7: team that's up and coming, and I can't lie. I

859
00:41:54,800 --> 00:41:58,720
Speaker 7: mean I'm definitely excited for some Dome games. So yeah, okay,

860
00:41:58,920 --> 00:42:01,800
Speaker 7: didn't get too many those in uh in Kansas City,

861
00:42:01,840 --> 00:42:05,120
Speaker 7: but uh but yeah, really really excited for that good stuff.

Speaker 4: Texans punter Tommy Townsend joining us here. What's it been

863
00:42:08,880 --> 00:42:12,040

Speaker 7: just brings so much energy every single day. That's not

869
00:42:21,680 --> 00:42:24,880
Speaker 7: one thing that he lacks when it comes to meetings

870
00:42:25,000 --> 00:42:27,600
Speaker 7: on the field. I mean he brings it every single day.

871

00:42:55,640 --> 00:42:55,799
Speaker 5: Yeah.

885
00:42:55,840 --> 00:42:57,600
Speaker 7: I couldn't be more fired up to come into just

886
00:42:57,960 --> 00:43:00,279
Speaker 7: the special teams unit in general with you know him

887
00:43:00,280 --> 00:43:01,239
Speaker 7: and Kayimi.

888
00:43:01,280 --> 00:43:04,080
Speaker 2: So but yeah, weis is just he's great.

889
00:43:04,120 --> 00:43:06,080
Speaker 7: And the first couple of times we worked together, we

890
00:43:06,160 --> 00:43:08,279
Speaker 7: just went out to the field and he's like, he's like,

891
00:43:08,400 --> 00:43:10,880
Speaker 7: just let me know when you don't want any more snaps,

892
00:43:10,920 --> 00:43:13,319
Speaker 7: Like he was just firing just one after another for

893
00:43:13,360 --> 00:43:15,680
Speaker 7: like two hours straight the first day that we worked together. So,

894
00:43:16,120 --> 00:43:18,560
Speaker 7: I mean, you don't really find that in veterans. But

895
00:43:18,680 --> 00:43:20,279
Speaker 7: he just wants to work and he just wants to

896
00:43:20,280 --> 00:43:22,319
Speaker 7: be perfect and he does an amazing job at that.

897
00:43:22,560 --> 00:43:24,680
Speaker 4: Dude, when did you first find out how long he's

898
00:43:24,719 --> 00:43:26,880
Speaker 4: actually been with the team for? Did you know that

899
00:43:26,920 --> 00:43:28,799
Speaker 4: when you got here? Or did you just like when

900
00:43:28,800 --> 00:43:31,600
Speaker 4: you first found out that he's been here since twenty ten.

901
00:43:32,280 --> 00:43:35,080
Speaker 7: Yeah, so I knew he was here for a long time.

902
00:43:35,640 --> 00:43:38,960
Speaker 7: I didn't know that it was since then. But I

903
00:43:38,960 --> 00:43:41,440
Speaker 7: mean that's hard to do, I mean, especially nowadays, it's

904
00:43:41,560 --> 00:43:43,839
Speaker 7: really really hard to stay with one team your entire

905
00:43:43,880 --> 00:43:48,319
Speaker 7: career and be successful during that entire stint. And yeah,

906
00:43:48,320 --> 00:43:50,040
Speaker 7: he's just he's done an amazing job of that and

907
00:43:50,080 --> 00:43:51,799
Speaker 7: you know, hopefully many more years to come for him.

908
00:43:51,880 --> 00:43:56,839
Speaker 4: He was teammates with Demiko. That's a real thing. Last

909
00:43:56,880 --> 00:43:58,799
Speaker 4: thing before we cut you loose, Okay, So I think

910
00:43:58,800 --> 00:44:01,799
Speaker 4: it was the Pittsburgh game. After the Pittsburgh game, how

911
00:44:01,840 --> 00:44:04,640
Speaker 4: much was your phone blowing up when the viral video

912
00:44:04,719 --> 00:44:08,479
Speaker 4: of you, you know, just providing commentary after the muff punt?

913
00:44:08,520 --> 00:44:10,400
Speaker 4: Like how many people were peppering you with texts?

914
00:44:10,400 --> 00:44:12,680
Speaker 7: Oh my gosh, so many? And it led on for

915
00:44:12,960 --> 00:44:14,799
Speaker 7: weeks and weeks. I thought it was I thought, yeah,

916
00:44:14,800 --> 00:44:16,279
Speaker 7: I thought it was going to uh. I thought it

917
00:44:16,320 --> 00:44:18,879
Speaker 7: was gonna ease up a little bit, but I kept

918
00:44:18,880 --> 00:44:21,359
Speaker 7: hearing it. And hot mics are never good for punters, so.

919
00:44:22,080 --> 00:44:24,279
Speaker 4: Yes they are. They're good for content, they're good for

920
00:44:24,360 --> 00:44:27,399
Speaker 4: us yeah, yeah, I will say one thing about that though.

921
00:44:27,440 --> 00:44:29,719
Speaker 7: A lot of people ask me about it, and I

922
00:44:29,760 --> 00:44:32,160
Speaker 7: was like, you know what, Like, so there's two scenarios

923
00:44:32,160 --> 00:44:34,400
Speaker 7: where punters can talk a little bit of trash, and

924
00:44:34,440 --> 00:44:36,680
Speaker 7: it's if one if you light somebody up on the sideline,

925
00:44:36,800 --> 00:44:39,719
Speaker 7: or two if you just bomb the ball and you know,

926
00:44:39,800 --> 00:44:42,840
Speaker 7: the returner drops it, and and that was one of

927
00:44:42,880 --> 00:44:44,960
Speaker 7: the opportunities, and I was like, god, you know what, like,

928
00:44:45,480 --> 00:44:46,799
Speaker 7: maybe I should just let them hear it. And I

929
00:44:46,880 --> 00:44:48,400
Speaker 7: just unfortunately the hot mic.

930
00:44:48,280 --> 00:44:51,880
Speaker 4: Copy Okay, preseason is to work on everything, including your

931
00:44:51,920 --> 00:44:53,200
Speaker 4: trash talk. So it's all good.

932
00:44:53,320 --> 00:44:55,880
Speaker 7: Yeah, I gained a lot of confidence through through stuff

933
00:44:55,920 --> 00:44:58,160
Speaker 7: like that. So but it's all fun and it's all

934
00:44:58,200 --> 00:45:00,000
Speaker 7: love at the end of the day. So of course

935
00:45:00,120 --> 00:45:02,160
