1
00:00:00,600 --> 00:00:02,559
Speaker 1: To be able to take it to that next level.

2
00:00:02,759 --> 00:00:05,120
Speaker 1: That's what I'm excited about. Rose all in the metal,

3
00:00:05,200 --> 00:00:10,440
Speaker 1: wide open, across the five peas in touchdown, Houston fires somebody.

4
00:00:10,640 --> 00:00:14,400
Speaker 1: This is intercepted. Back to back possessions with picks for

5
00:00:14,440 --> 00:00:19,720
Speaker 1: this Texans defense. Takeaway number three on the day. Game

6
00:00:19,840 --> 00:00:23,720
Speaker 1: Day is every day, five nights a week. The hits

7
00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:31,360
Speaker 1: keep on coming. No, it's Texans all excess. Hello Texans,

8
00:00:31,360 --> 00:00:34,800
Speaker 1: Welcome to the program that takes you inside NRG Stadium.

9
00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:37,680
Speaker 1: Mark vandermer with you with John Harris, and this is

10
00:00:37,720 --> 00:00:39,920
Speaker 1: the show that in many ways we didn't want to

11
00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:42,319
Speaker 1: have to do, but we're doing it. And we've got

12
00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:44,320
Speaker 1: a lot to talk about football wives, of course, but

13
00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:46,199
Speaker 1: we have a lot to talk about in terms of

14
00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:49,360
Speaker 1: the passing of Jamie Ruths. Johnny and I know you

15
00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:52,880
Speaker 1: feel the same way like yesterday was a very rough day.

16
00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:56,160
Speaker 1: Today was a very rough day. We're gonna move on eventually,

17
00:00:56,240 --> 00:01:00,600
Speaker 1: but we have to acknowledge, eulogize, recogniz it's what Jamie

18
00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:03,880
Speaker 1: roots meant to this organization, just as Chairman and CEO

19
00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:06,679
Speaker 1: Cal McNair did this morning and President Greg Risum and

20
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:09,440
Speaker 1: Vice president of the Houston Texans Foundation Hannah McNair A

21
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:12,440
Speaker 1: very heavy hearts out of practice today. It's tough. So

22
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:17,720
Speaker 1: how you doing, my friend? Yeah? It when you hear news,

23
00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:20,959
Speaker 1: and you know, we get all kinds of news, obviously

24
00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:24,000
Speaker 1: in the building and having new football, and when something

25
00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:26,640
Speaker 1: like like this happens, and it happens to not only

26
00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:28,560
Speaker 1: somebody that you you worked with, but somebody that you

27
00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:32,880
Speaker 1: respected the heck out of, you just try and comprehend,

28
00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:37,240
Speaker 1: like wait, wait, what did that? And so you just

29
00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:39,720
Speaker 1: mind goes a million miles an hour. And I mean,

30
00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:42,440
Speaker 1: since I heard the news at some point yesterday, I've

31
00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:46,360
Speaker 1: just been thinking about him and how much he meant

32
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:47,880
Speaker 1: to me, how much he meant to you, how much

33
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:51,120
Speaker 1: he meant to everybody, and you just start, you know,

34
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:53,960
Speaker 1: going back over you know, the stories and the different things.

35
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:56,120
Speaker 1: I mean, I remember being at the Greenbrier, running into

36
00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:59,200
Speaker 1: the driving into the back of his cart, and instead

37
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:01,120
Speaker 1: of getting fired on this spot as I probably should have,

38
00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:03,560
Speaker 1: you turning and goes, hey, let me tell you about

39
00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:05,680
Speaker 1: when my son ran the car into the garage and

40
00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:08,080
Speaker 1: he just laughed it off, and I was like, my goodness,

41
00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:12,000
Speaker 1: but he was also so very good for somebody like

42
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:16,560
Speaker 1: me who has a tendency to get over emotional about things,

43
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:19,880
Speaker 1: and I'll then forget back. In twenty eighteen, we had

44
00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:23,280
Speaker 1: the nine game winning streaker playing the Colts right and

45
00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:27,959
Speaker 1: it was twenty four, twenty one, and it was third

46
00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:31,320
Speaker 1: and two, well over two minutes, I think left end

47
00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:33,320
Speaker 1: game or right at two minutes somewhere along those lines.

48
00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:34,840
Speaker 1: We get to stop, we get the ball back, We

49
00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:39,320
Speaker 1: got an opportunity and Clowney jumped offside and it was

50
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:40,960
Speaker 1: one of those things that he had been doing that

51
00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:43,959
Speaker 1: for years, and I just that the coach came out

52
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:46,600
Speaker 1: of me, just he's been doing that for years, and

53
00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:50,680
Speaker 1: I mean I was steam was coming out of my ears.

54
00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:54,400
Speaker 1: Well back up a little bit to about three or

55
00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:57,400
Speaker 1: four days earlier. That week, we had had a business

56
00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:01,680
Speaker 1: ops get together and Jamie had audience some people and

57
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:06,280
Speaker 1: they used a metaphor to kind of describe emotional intelligence. Yes,

58
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:10,960
Speaker 1: I remember this, dropping your markers. Don't drop your markers, Yeah,

59
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:13,799
Speaker 1: And I mean I thought it was a really cool

60
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:16,600
Speaker 1: metaphor for that, and it was just kind of easier

61
00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:21,120
Speaker 1: to think about, you know, emotional intelligence, not don't drop

62
00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:23,400
Speaker 1: your markers, just don't lose it when you don't need

63
00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:26,880
Speaker 1: to handle the situation. And I'm just starting to get

64
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:29,760
Speaker 1: keyed up, and I just felt his hand and I

65
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:32,440
Speaker 1: turned and I saw it was him, and he just

66
00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:35,800
Speaker 1: whispered in my ears, don't lose your markers. It's all right,

67
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:40,040
Speaker 1: We'll be okay. And I I just instantly was like, yeah,

68
00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:42,560
Speaker 1: he's right, Yeah, what could you do about it? And

69
00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:44,600
Speaker 1: it was just those it was those kind of little

70
00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:48,680
Speaker 1: things that you that you start thinking about, that you remember, like,

71
00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:50,800
Speaker 1: here we are, nine game winning streak, lose the cults

72
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:54,760
Speaker 1: and I'm just like, clowny, you couldn't stick. Don't lose

73
00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:56,920
Speaker 1: your markers. And I just closed my eyes and I

74
00:03:57,080 --> 00:04:00,960
Speaker 1: visioned like holding all the markers and like, yeah, it's right.

75
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:03,839
Speaker 1: So it's just things like that that you kept thinking

76
00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:06,240
Speaker 1: about that I kept thinking about, you know, thinking about

77
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:08,880
Speaker 1: his wife and his kids and all that was. Yeah,

78
00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:11,360
Speaker 1: we all loved him so much, you know, I mean

79
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:13,160
Speaker 1: you and I are both in his building in large

80
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:15,960
Speaker 1: part due to him. Yeah. He I mean, he loved

81
00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:19,760
Speaker 1: the Texans, he loved the McNair family, he loved the city.

82
00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:22,960
Speaker 1: You know, I loved doing this, and you know, so

83
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:25,560
Speaker 1: many things come to mind. You know, you're talking about

84
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:29,480
Speaker 1: games and the truck your markers, because he loved that

85
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:32,520
Speaker 1: kind of stuff too, finding ways to get the mental

86
00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:36,719
Speaker 1: edge and be as mentally efficient as possible. And Jamie

87
00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:38,840
Speaker 1: rant business operations. You know a lot of people are

88
00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:41,160
Speaker 1: hearing his name out there right now, and they've heard

89
00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:43,279
Speaker 1: it for years, but a lot of people might not

90
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:47,400
Speaker 1: know that he ran the business operations side until the

91
00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:50,240
Speaker 1: first part of twenty twenty one and did it for

92
00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:53,720
Speaker 1: twenty years. And I saw some stories he was hired

93
00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:55,600
Speaker 1: in two thousand and two. That's incorrect. He was hired

94
00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:58,280
Speaker 1: in two thousand I believe. I mean he was. He

95
00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:01,200
Speaker 1: helped John shiver our tickets a they were selling tickets

96
00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:04,000
Speaker 1: out of the hotel nearby when there was no stadium,

97
00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:07,960
Speaker 1: and they took it upon themselves. They thought, well, we

98
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:11,279
Speaker 1: could do this online or by mail, or we could

99
00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:15,400
Speaker 1: meet every season ticket member in person. And they said,

100
00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:18,040
Speaker 1: let's do it. And they met everybody in person at

101
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:20,600
Speaker 1: that hotel lobby or wherever they set up in the hotel.

102
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:23,120
Speaker 1: They met everybody in person to sell this place out

103
00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:27,560
Speaker 1: prior to two thousand and two opening day of franchise history.

104
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:31,159
Speaker 1: And you know, he loved the games, loved Game Day

105
00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:34,839
Speaker 1: wanted to entertain the fans in whatever way possible and

106
00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:38,200
Speaker 1: that was evident, and you know he understood what we

107
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:40,240
Speaker 1: did too, right. He listened to the games on the

108
00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:42,840
Speaker 1: road like he had a little listening device. And it's hard.

109
00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:45,039
Speaker 1: You know, you're there in Nashville, So how do you

110
00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:47,080
Speaker 1: hear Texans Radio? Well, if you listen on the app,

111
00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:49,760
Speaker 1: which is sometimes available, or you pay for whatever service

112
00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:52,640
Speaker 1: you can, it's gonna have a tremendous digital delay on it,

113
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:54,240
Speaker 1: so it's not going to keep up with the action.

114
00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:57,840
Speaker 1: So the device that you used to hear the games

115
00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:00,680
Speaker 1: on the sideline in real times, who can respond to

116
00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:03,560
Speaker 1: us and we can talk. He had a little receiver.

117
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:05,880
Speaker 1: He was the first one who said, you know what,

118
00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:08,800
Speaker 1: how much does that cost to buy a little receiver

119
00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:11,000
Speaker 1: so I can hear what you guys are saying. And

120
00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:13,359
Speaker 1: he always wanted to feed with us talking during the

121
00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:18,359
Speaker 1: commercials because we sometimes say things during the commercials that

122
00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:20,960
Speaker 1: we wouldn't say on the air. You all certain reactions

123
00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:23,599
Speaker 1: and certain heated moments or whatever, or whatever the case

124
00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:25,800
Speaker 1: may be. He just liked the banter that we had

125
00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:30,080
Speaker 1: and have and he wanted to hear that. And you know,

126
00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:32,120
Speaker 1: I remember after some of the tough games, Johnny, I

127
00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:34,040
Speaker 1: mean you brought up that loss of the Colts in

128
00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:39,080
Speaker 1: twenty eighteen. I'll never forget losing a Seattle in twenty thirteen,

129
00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:42,320
Speaker 1: and it was in this building and I walked upstairs

130
00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:46,080
Speaker 1: to the offices and he saw me and he kind

131
00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:48,120
Speaker 1: of comforted me. He's like, listen, it's gonna be you know,

132
00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:51,400
Speaker 1: it'll be all right. Better days ahead. Now that year,

133
00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:55,520
Speaker 1: we didn't really have any better days ahead in twenty thirteen,

134
00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:57,880
Speaker 1: but you know we turned the page and went to

135
00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:00,280
Speaker 1: that didn't win the division the next year, It had

136
00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:01,880
Speaker 1: a winning season the next year, whatever the case may be.

137
00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:05,080
Speaker 1: But he always had the big picture in mind and

138
00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:09,040
Speaker 1: always stayed positive no matter what the situation was, and

139
00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:12,160
Speaker 1: always knew that, you know, the customer comes first. Like

140
00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:15,560
Speaker 1: what he could control, he would take care of. You know,

141
00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:17,640
Speaker 1: you're not coaching the team or whatever, but hey, the

142
00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:19,600
Speaker 1: fans coming to the stadium, how can we make it

143
00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:21,960
Speaker 1: better for them? And everybody in this building who ever

144
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:26,080
Speaker 1: worked for him understands that very well, that that ethic

145
00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:28,160
Speaker 1: was in place here for a long long time and

146
00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:34,760
Speaker 1: still is. He always had our back no matter what

147
00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:39,200
Speaker 1: He had our back, and we could have screwed up.

148
00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:43,480
Speaker 1: I know one time I had somebody emailed me, and

149
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:48,000
Speaker 1: he's somebody emailed me, and I had been getting just

150
00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:52,720
Speaker 1: all these just spam emails and stuff, and so I

151
00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:54,160
Speaker 1: thought it was just a spam email, and I was

152
00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:55,880
Speaker 1: getting tired of it, and so I wrote back and

153
00:07:55,920 --> 00:08:00,360
Speaker 1: I just said, please don't send me anymore. Well, it

154
00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:02,480
Speaker 1: happened to be a real person at the other end

155
00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:05,600
Speaker 1: of this, and so this person got my email and

156
00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:09,880
Speaker 1: got Jamie's email and send an email to Jamie. Jamie

157
00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:14,440
Speaker 1: sent me an email that was probably as essentially as

158
00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:17,480
Speaker 1: nice away as he could say it like, you screwed

159
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:20,240
Speaker 1: up because this is a real person, I understand. But

160
00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:23,760
Speaker 1: she's now a raving fan of yours and we're all good,

161
00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:25,760
Speaker 1: and he just smoothed it all over. Of course, I

162
00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:28,200
Speaker 1: felt terrible because I let him down, and I think

163
00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:30,320
Speaker 1: that was the biggest thing that none of us wanted

164
00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:33,280
Speaker 1: to let him run. We never we never want to

165
00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:36,480
Speaker 1: let him down. But there was something that happened in

166
00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:40,800
Speaker 1: the building about five years ago, and he had our back.

167
00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:44,400
Speaker 1: I mean he had our back in a big, big way,

168
00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:47,560
Speaker 1: like to a point where he was ready to rumble

169
00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:50,520
Speaker 1: if he needed to, and it just it just went

170
00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:55,440
Speaker 1: to show that he thought about everybody else first that

171
00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:58,920
Speaker 1: worked for him and gave him, you know, everything, And

172
00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:01,839
Speaker 1: he used to find me on the field before a game,

173
00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:05,640
Speaker 1: and just all I could do was every single time

174
00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:08,520
Speaker 1: was just thank him for bringing me to the team

175
00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:10,920
Speaker 1: and letting me do what I do. And he was

176
00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:14,480
Speaker 1: he was fantastic that way, and just he was like, no,

177
00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:16,920
Speaker 1: it's the complete opposite. We you know, we thank you

178
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:20,760
Speaker 1: and you mean so much this organization. And and so

179
00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:24,880
Speaker 1: it's just such a tough gut punch, because we talk

180
00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:27,679
Speaker 1: about gut punch losses all the time, you know, and

181
00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:31,080
Speaker 1: this in the in the football realm, this was a

182
00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:35,199
Speaker 1: gut punch of a of a whole different, you know, demeanor.

183
00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:38,240
Speaker 1: This was like a sledgehammer to the stomach of just like,

184
00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:42,400
Speaker 1: how do we how do we comprehend what happened other

185
00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:46,440
Speaker 1: than say we you know, we loved him, We always

186
00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:49,000
Speaker 1: love him, and he was so great to us. And

187
00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:51,440
Speaker 1: I think that's just I miss that part, probably more

188
00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:53,760
Speaker 1: than anything else, just how much he loved us. Because

189
00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:56,000
Speaker 1: you know, there's some there's some people up there I'm

190
00:09:56,040 --> 00:10:01,480
Speaker 1: sure don't like listening to us whatever way. No. Never,

191
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:03,880
Speaker 1: he always had our back and I always appreciated that No,

192
00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:07,280
Speaker 1: because I think his thing was do you have passion

193
00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:09,920
Speaker 1: for what you do? Are you good at it? Are

194
00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:14,000
Speaker 1: you presenting things in a correct Yet? Hey, we love

195
00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:15,560
Speaker 1: the team. You know, we want the team to win.

196
00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:17,840
Speaker 1: He understood what we did here. Look, we have these

197
00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:20,960
Speaker 1: shows because of the work of Jamie Roots and Greg

198
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:24,240
Speaker 1: Grissom and the effort they put together to make sure

199
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:28,079
Speaker 1: we had these platforms. Texans extra Points that used to

200
00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:31,920
Speaker 1: be extra Points on ABC thirteen. The Texans made it Texanized,

201
00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:34,320
Speaker 1: and you know, Drew hosts it and we do the

202
00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:36,920
Speaker 1: show and you know, with our friends at ABC thirteen

203
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:40,720
Speaker 1: and Texans three sixty and all these programs and everything

204
00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:45,760
Speaker 1: we do, uh taking over preseason TV broadcasts, that is

205
00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:49,040
Speaker 1: Jamie Roots thing along with Greg because Greg worked really

206
00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:52,520
Speaker 1: hard on these deals as well, and you know, terrific

207
00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:55,640
Speaker 1: team together. And now Greg's the president, so it's just

208
00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:58,520
Speaker 1: a natural fit. And you know, with the McNair family

209
00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:01,280
Speaker 1: leading the way, you know, we really the future is

210
00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:04,880
Speaker 1: so bright here. But today we recognize and acknowledge the

211
00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:09,040
Speaker 1: accomplishments and the contribution of Jamie Roots, and you know

212
00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:12,920
Speaker 1: I'll never forget him. I mean, he it's funny, Johnny,

213
00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:15,000
Speaker 1: because I went to a funeral about a year ago

214
00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:17,319
Speaker 1: friends of ours in Sugarland. This is a horrible thing.

215
00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:21,280
Speaker 1: A woman died. And I'm just using this example because

216
00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:24,960
Speaker 1: one of the eulogies was given by a family member

217
00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:28,480
Speaker 1: and he said, it seems impossible that she's not here

218
00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:32,319
Speaker 1: right now, And that line just stuck with me because

219
00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:35,520
Speaker 1: to me, it applies here. It seems impossible that Jamie

220
00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:37,480
Speaker 1: Roots is not with us. You know, as I just

221
00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:40,080
Speaker 1: look around this building, I saw you out of the

222
00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:42,440
Speaker 1: practice field today. You and I had a moment and

223
00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:44,760
Speaker 1: I thought, man, you know, you think about what the

224
00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:49,000
Speaker 1: McNair's built here, and Charlie casually overseeing the football side

225
00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:52,720
Speaker 1: and Jamie Roots overseeing the business side and building this

226
00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:56,400
Speaker 1: thing up to what it is. There was nothing here,

227
00:11:56,679 --> 00:12:00,560
Speaker 1: you know, you had a dome, parking lot and look

228
00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:02,800
Speaker 1: what you have here. Now we haven't gotten where we

229
00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:04,920
Speaker 1: want to go. And you know, I'm so sad that

230
00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:08,600
Speaker 1: he's not here to see it. But man, I just

231
00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:13,959
Speaker 1: feel so sad. It's such a loss, and in many

232
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:15,520
Speaker 1: ways I know he'd want us to continue to talk

233
00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:17,560
Speaker 1: about football and keep it going here, you know, but

234
00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:20,600
Speaker 1: it's just it's a hard day, there's no doubt. That's

235
00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:25,040
Speaker 1: a great point. I thought about that probably all day,

236
00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:27,000
Speaker 1: and I was thinking as I was thinking about this

237
00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:30,600
Speaker 1: show tonight, and I was like, you know what he

238
00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:35,520
Speaker 1: would tell us talk football, dude, you guys do yeah,

239
00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:37,080
Speaker 1: you guys are great at He wanted to hear it,

240
00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:38,679
Speaker 1: do it. Yeah, he wanted to hear it. I mean

241
00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:41,040
Speaker 1: there were times where he would he would text me

242
00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:42,960
Speaker 1: and he's like, hey, how can your Friday night show?

243
00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:45,280
Speaker 1: Where's your Friday night show? It's not on the all,

244
00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:46,920
Speaker 1: it's not on the app. And then he called you

245
00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:49,360
Speaker 1: like where is it? Oh yeah, And I would have

246
00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:52,600
Speaker 1: no idea like that technical stuff. I just talk like

247
00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:54,679
Speaker 1: I don't know where any of that stuff is if

248
00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:57,520
Speaker 1: it's not where it's supposed to be. I got no idea.

249
00:12:57,640 --> 00:13:01,240
Speaker 1: And he after he texted me, he saw me the

250
00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:04,079
Speaker 1: next day or saw me for that Sunday and he

251
00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:06,760
Speaker 1: was like, I listened to your Friday show all the time.

252
00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:08,480
Speaker 1: I mean, your Keys to the Game. I never miss it.

253
00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:10,040
Speaker 1: I mean I gotta I gotta have it. So that's

254
00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:12,520
Speaker 1: why that's why he explained what he was, what he

255
00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:14,600
Speaker 1: was looking for. I was like, oh, okay, I got it.

256
00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:16,440
Speaker 1: And so every time I did that keys to the

257
00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:18,920
Speaker 1: game segment, and probably for however long I do it,

258
00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:22,320
Speaker 1: I'll think of him because he lived for that. He

259
00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:26,320
Speaker 1: wanted to know what the keys were, so you know,

260
00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:28,199
Speaker 1: he could you know, he could talk about it. And

261
00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:30,360
Speaker 1: Greg Grissom has sort of carried that on in some

262
00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:32,080
Speaker 1: sense where he comes to me not so much for

263
00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:34,760
Speaker 1: a key, but he's looking for a key player. Yeah,

264
00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:36,959
Speaker 1: I've gotten two for two because you know, Blake ash

265
00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:40,320
Speaker 1: was pretty good week one and Team Quatoriano, who I

266
00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:42,640
Speaker 1: gave Greg last week, so they kind of come find

267
00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:45,280
Speaker 1: me and get get a few if you for this Thursday.

268
00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:48,360
Speaker 1: Get to wait. This Thursday's tricky. I gotta see who's

269
00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:51,040
Speaker 1: out there. Yeah, that's the biggest thing. I have no

270
00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:54,200
Speaker 1: idea who's going to be out there, because in kind

271
00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:56,680
Speaker 1: of watching practice, there's a lot of things you can

272
00:13:56,760 --> 00:14:00,240
Speaker 1: get from watching a full practice, and then they're some

273
00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:02,640
Speaker 1: things that you look at and go I have no idea,

274
00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:04,439
Speaker 1: but there's some things clear, like, hey, I think these

275
00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:08,280
Speaker 1: guys might play kind of based on what you s Yeah,

276
00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:10,080
Speaker 1: I think so too. I don't know for how long,

277
00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:13,839
Speaker 1: But I think trying to figure that all out. I

278
00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:17,360
Speaker 1: don't know. Um, I'm curious how the forty nine ers

279
00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:20,680
Speaker 1: attack this. Does Trey Lance play? Does Trey Lance sit?

280
00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:23,200
Speaker 1: Does he get one series? If he plays? If he's

281
00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:25,160
Speaker 1: not good, does he play a whole half? I don't know.

282
00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:27,800
Speaker 1: It feels like love. He wants to get as many

283
00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:31,360
Speaker 1: guys into the into the lineup as as possible, to

284
00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:34,080
Speaker 1: at least get some reps. Because then I said, the

285
00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:39,280
Speaker 1: other day, seventeen days, seventeen days long time. If you

286
00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:42,960
Speaker 1: take a bye week Sunday to the following Sunday, that's

287
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:46,160
Speaker 1: just that's fourteen and it feels like forever. Attack on

288
00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:50,480
Speaker 1: three more days. That goodness. So I think getting the

289
00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:54,560
Speaker 1: opportunity to see giving giving guys one last shot to

290
00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:57,200
Speaker 1: make the roster. And as Love he talked about, and

291
00:14:57,280 --> 00:14:59,000
Speaker 1: Nick has talked about with us a number of times,

292
00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:01,040
Speaker 1: they don't think about it a fifty three man roster.

293
00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:03,640
Speaker 1: They think about it as in this case because we

294
00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:08,120
Speaker 1: have do we have the opportunity care seventy fifty three

295
00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:10,560
Speaker 1: plus the sixty and the practice squad plus do so

296
00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:13,880
Speaker 1: it's a seventy man squad basically, and so that's how

297
00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:16,240
Speaker 1: they that's how they perceive it, and so I've started

298
00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:18,200
Speaker 1: kind of thinking that way too. Hey, is this guy

299
00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:21,040
Speaker 1: gonna make that fifty three? I don't know about that,

300
00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:23,240
Speaker 1: but I think he's gonna be here. Now, the practice

301
00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:25,760
Speaker 1: squad is not as easy as hey, we're letting you go.

302
00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:28,200
Speaker 1: You're on practice squad. You gotta go through all the

303
00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:31,360
Speaker 1: waivers and all the different machinations of things. But a

304
00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:33,200
Speaker 1: decent number of those guys are gonna end up back

305
00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:35,080
Speaker 1: on practice squad. But they think about it as a

306
00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:37,600
Speaker 1: seventy man roster. So if you think about it that way,

307
00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:40,520
Speaker 1: you'll have probably eighty I think going into the game,

308
00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:44,280
Speaker 1: and so they'll probably be ten that don't make it.

309
00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:48,440
Speaker 1: The fifty three man roster, in my estimation, probably goes

310
00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:50,880
Speaker 1: down to fifty one fifty maybe because you're gonna hit

311
00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:53,000
Speaker 1: the waiver claims. You're sitting third in the waiver claims,

312
00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:58,040
Speaker 1: so you get like a very small second draft if

313
00:15:58,080 --> 00:16:00,480
Speaker 1: you will. So maybe you pull two are you guys

314
00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:03,280
Speaker 1: off waiver claims? You add them to the roster, But

315
00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:05,320
Speaker 1: either way, you're looking at about a seventy man in

316
00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:08,280
Speaker 1: total roster that you got to try and get ready.

317
00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:10,160
Speaker 1: Even the sixteen guys are practice squad, they gotta be

318
00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:15,320
Speaker 1: ready immediately. Jump. Should there be a rule because when

319
00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:18,680
Speaker 1: you let go of these guys, they're exposed. Yes? Right?

320
00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:22,880
Speaker 1: Should there be a rule that you can sign anybody

321
00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:26,440
Speaker 1: you want that's on your current roster meaning eighty players,

322
00:16:26,520 --> 00:16:30,280
Speaker 1: right going into the fifty three cut cut to fifty three. Yeah,

323
00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:33,120
Speaker 1: you can sign anybody you want onto the practice squad.

324
00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:36,840
Speaker 1: That forces the other team who wants to pick up

325
00:16:36,920 --> 00:16:39,320
Speaker 1: that player to not sign them to their practice squad

326
00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:43,400
Speaker 1: because now if you're a free agent cut, somebody get

327
00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:45,080
Speaker 1: to say you want to be on our practice squad.

328
00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:49,600
Speaker 1: You have practice squad recruitment all over again. Right, Yes,

329
00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:52,360
Speaker 1: it's like post draft, except now you have a league

330
00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:55,880
Speaker 1: where anybody's practice squad eligible virtually because you have certain slots.

331
00:16:55,920 --> 00:17:00,440
Speaker 1: I think it's six. So that's kind of tricky. You're

332
00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:03,520
Speaker 1: exposing your players to the elements there, and by the elements,

333
00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:06,440
Speaker 1: I mean the other team. Yeah, that's that's always sort

334
00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:09,520
Speaker 1: of tricky. And I don't I don't know the right

335
00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:11,800
Speaker 1: answer that because you know, at some point somebody would

336
00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:14,159
Speaker 1: find the loophole. I'm asking Nick tomorrow and Nick is

337
00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:18,120
Speaker 1: going to join us tomorrow six o'clock. Nick Cassio, he'll

338
00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:20,000
Speaker 1: be on this program. There are there are a bunch

339
00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:24,960
Speaker 1: of logistics questions, as it pertains because things have changed

340
00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:27,639
Speaker 1: over the last three years from you know, obviously COVID

341
00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:30,880
Speaker 1: twenty twenty to twenty one, now back to twenty twenty two,

342
00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:32,320
Speaker 1: and they like, oh, we're sort of back to normal,

343
00:17:32,359 --> 00:17:35,480
Speaker 1: but we're sort of not because practice squad was capped

344
00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:38,600
Speaker 1: out at eight to ten yeah before COVID. Now it's

345
00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:40,960
Speaker 1: at sixteen. I did an article on this, and I

346
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:42,600
Speaker 1: can't remember off the top of my head, but I

347
00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:44,320
Speaker 1: think it was five players at O two and the

348
00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:47,080
Speaker 1: Texans started. I think it was five, and it just

349
00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:48,919
Speaker 1: grew from there. Remember in the old old days they

350
00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:51,320
Speaker 1: called it a taxi squad? Yeah, yeah, yeah, would they

351
00:17:51,320 --> 00:17:55,280
Speaker 1: call it an uber squad now? Maybe? Okay, lift squad? No, No,

352
00:17:55,359 --> 00:17:58,439
Speaker 1: what doesn't go it's not as good. Um. I just

353
00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:01,639
Speaker 1: wish the one thing that I the practice squad roster stuff.

354
00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:03,680
Speaker 1: I just wish the one thing they would do is

355
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:05,760
Speaker 1: the guys that are in a fifty three man roster,

356
00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:11,639
Speaker 1: you make it everybody dresses inactives just don't exist. You

357
00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:13,840
Speaker 1: got fifty three guys. Those are fifty You've never made

358
00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:17,120
Speaker 1: sense to me this rule yet, to understand that one.

359
00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:18,960
Speaker 1: It's just kind of odd to me. Well, it's only

360
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:21,560
Speaker 1: fair because certain player teams that players hurt, so they're

361
00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:24,120
Speaker 1: not dressing them. Yeah, okay, all right, I are them.

362
00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:28,000
Speaker 1: Ir is nothing. Now, it's four weeks, four minimum, four weeks.

363
00:18:28,359 --> 00:18:31,639
Speaker 1: This is not the death sentence. It used to be like,

364
00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:34,879
Speaker 1: you're on, I are You're gonna missed an entire season, right,

365
00:18:35,119 --> 00:18:38,520
Speaker 1: It's not like that. So now four weeks you can

366
00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:40,800
Speaker 1: tolerate that. Now. Some are gonna be longer, some are

367
00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:42,920
Speaker 1: gonna be well, not shorter. But if you're ready in two,

368
00:18:43,119 --> 00:18:45,360
Speaker 1: sorry you gotta wait. Okay, So you've got some guys

369
00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:47,879
Speaker 1: that are gonna miss the game, so okay, you're you

370
00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:50,040
Speaker 1: have to make, you make the decision. You put them on.

371
00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:51,600
Speaker 1: I are they're gonna be back in a couple of weeks.

372
00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:54,040
Speaker 1: So you're gonna lose a couple of roster spots. I mean,

373
00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:56,760
Speaker 1: I understand, like like you just pointed out, I understood,

374
00:18:56,840 --> 00:19:01,639
Speaker 1: look the logic behind it, But I also don't you

375
00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:03,560
Speaker 1: have fifty three men on the roster. You know, look

376
00:19:03,560 --> 00:19:06,800
Speaker 1: if somebody's banged up and I all right, come back

377
00:19:06,840 --> 00:19:09,200
Speaker 1: in four weeks. So there are a lot of different

378
00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:13,240
Speaker 1: aspects of things from from that area that are still

379
00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:16,320
Speaker 1: kind of like, oh man, okay, you get sixty Either way,

380
00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:22,240
Speaker 1: point being Thursday night, I'll be curious to see how

381
00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:25,280
Speaker 1: long if guys play that haven't playing, so like a

382
00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:29,280
Speaker 1: Justin Bridger, you know, maybe a Larmie Tounsel, Brandon Cooks,

383
00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:32,400
Speaker 1: guys that haven't played only Collins. If they play, how

384
00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:34,760
Speaker 1: much do they play? How much do you get them

385
00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:36,640
Speaker 1: if they look sharp? Do they get five to seven

386
00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:38,440
Speaker 1: five to seven plays and they're done? Or do you

387
00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:40,080
Speaker 1: want to see him for an extended period of time?

388
00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:43,240
Speaker 1: Do they need to get a few game reps? Because

389
00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:47,360
Speaker 1: obviously once you get game reps, intensity goes up. How

390
00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:50,399
Speaker 1: you kind of breathe and work through that physically, that

391
00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:52,080
Speaker 1: gets all worked up. So there are a lot of

392
00:19:52,119 --> 00:19:54,040
Speaker 1: things that go with it. So I'll be curious Thursday.

393
00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:58,640
Speaker 1: So from that perspective, I don't totally know how they

394
00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:03,800
Speaker 1: want to go about it and makes it fun, makes

395
00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:08,360
Speaker 1: it interesting. I mean last last Friday, you may have known,

396
00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:11,520
Speaker 1: I didn't know going in Damian Pierce wasn't playing when

397
00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:13,400
Speaker 1: he didn't, When he didn't come into the first half,

398
00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:17,199
Speaker 1: I thought, okay, no shot. Once he's not playing in

399
00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:22,280
Speaker 1: the first half him yeah, And then you start thinking, okay,

400
00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:24,240
Speaker 1: it's the RB one. And then I'm like, well, it

401
00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:26,920
Speaker 1: doesn't really matter if he starts, it doesn't start. Just

402
00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:28,639
Speaker 1: as long as he gets the line share of the carries,

403
00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:30,440
Speaker 1: or whoever gets the line share of the carries, that's

404
00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:32,480
Speaker 1: really RB one to me, not the guy who starts

405
00:20:32,520 --> 00:20:36,280
Speaker 1: the game. So I'm curious if he even sees the field.

406
00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:39,240
Speaker 1: And I go back to this one. Back in seventeen,

407
00:20:40,320 --> 00:20:43,719
Speaker 1: right before Harvey, we went to New Orleans and we

408
00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:47,280
Speaker 1: were practicing against the Saints, and the Saints not once,

409
00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:51,119
Speaker 1: not in the practice, not in the game, did we

410
00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:53,600
Speaker 1: see Alvin Kamara. And he was healthy. We didn't see

411
00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:55,760
Speaker 1: him once. They didn't want to expose him. They don't

412
00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:57,359
Speaker 1: want to They don't want to expose him an injury,

413
00:20:57,359 --> 00:20:58,639
Speaker 1: and they didn't want to show the world what he

414
00:20:58,680 --> 00:21:02,000
Speaker 1: could do exactly. They might feel we don't know this,

415
00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:05,880
Speaker 1: They might feel like we've seen plenty of piers. Why

416
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:08,800
Speaker 1: play him, he'll be good to go. Just practice them

417
00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:12,120
Speaker 1: and get him as physically ready as possible. Was telling

418
00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:14,639
Speaker 1: me that, look, there's no excuse not to have your

419
00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:17,800
Speaker 1: team fully rested and ready to go, and they won't

420
00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:19,600
Speaker 1: be too beat up. You're not allowed to, you know,

421
00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:22,800
Speaker 1: put on pads every day. You know, two days in pads.

422
00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:25,040
Speaker 1: You're not going to do that. You know, teams, certain

423
00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:27,160
Speaker 1: teams might feel like, well, we gotta be physically sharp.

424
00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:30,160
Speaker 1: Of course, you have to be physically sharp in terms

425
00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:33,119
Speaker 1: of hard hitting and the football shape kind of stuff.

426
00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:35,560
Speaker 1: But they can figure out ways to get that done.

427
00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:37,359
Speaker 1: The time will go by before you know, at the

428
00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:40,000
Speaker 1: seventeen days in the Texans case and the forty nine

429
00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:41,879
Speaker 1: Ers case, and you'll be ready to go. All right.

430
00:21:41,880 --> 00:21:43,640
Speaker 1: A couple of things on the forty nine Ers. First

431
00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:46,520
Speaker 1: of all, Brett Farves said, you read this right, I

432
00:21:46,560 --> 00:21:49,040
Speaker 1: did you know? And I know that you don't agree

433
00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:51,320
Speaker 1: with them that they should go with Garoppolo over Trey Lance.

434
00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:54,240
Speaker 1: That is such great clickbait talk radio stuff, especially in

435
00:21:54,320 --> 00:21:56,160
Speaker 1: the Bay Area. They must have had a field day

436
00:21:56,160 --> 00:21:58,840
Speaker 1: with that. So here's the thing. This is what bothers me.

437
00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:02,680
Speaker 1: If bothers me when former players step up, we can't

438
00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:05,400
Speaker 1: get rid of him. Why because all he's done, his win,

439
00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:08,520
Speaker 1: he just wins. He wins. No no, no, no no, no, no, no.

440
00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:12,560
Speaker 1: Win is a result, it's not part of the problem.

441
00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:15,000
Speaker 1: What part of the process does he do better than

442
00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:18,680
Speaker 1: Trey Lance. He's won because he's had Deebo Samuel, because

443
00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:22,399
Speaker 1: he's protected by Trent Williams, because he's got George Kittle,

444
00:22:22,520 --> 00:22:25,520
Speaker 1: because because he's got one of the top five defenses

445
00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:29,000
Speaker 1: in the league. That's why Jimmy Garoppolo has won. They're

446
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:33,520
Speaker 1: not winning because of him. They're almost winning in spite

447
00:22:33,560 --> 00:22:35,879
Speaker 1: of You know how I feel, And here's how I feel,

448
00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:40,520
Speaker 1: whether it's Mills, Garoppolo, Farv Brady Rogers, whoever. Can you

449
00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:43,760
Speaker 1: make the critical third down throws in the fourth quarter?

450
00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:47,840
Speaker 1: Can you do it? Can you extend possessions when you

451
00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:50,880
Speaker 1: have the lead? Can you extend possessions when you're trying

452
00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:54,280
Speaker 1: to catch up? Period? Yeah, that's it right there to be, because, yeah,

453
00:22:54,280 --> 00:22:56,439
Speaker 1: it'd be great to make big plays. Big plays are wonderful.

454
00:22:56,480 --> 00:22:59,680
Speaker 1: I want big plays all day long. But very often

455
00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:02,280
Speaker 1: it comes down to matriculate the ball down the field.

456
00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:04,720
Speaker 1: Pick up third and six. Sometimes you gotta pick up

457
00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:06,680
Speaker 1: third and ten, third and three not as easy as

458
00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:09,520
Speaker 1: you think. Pick them all up or the majority, so

459
00:23:09,560 --> 00:23:11,880
Speaker 1: you don't have to give the ball back to the opponent,

460
00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:15,320
Speaker 1: whether you're down, up in between, whatever. You've got to

461
00:23:15,320 --> 00:23:17,919
Speaker 1: be able to get that done. And Garoppolo over his

462
00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:20,160
Speaker 1: career has done pretty well at that. You know, buy

463
00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:22,520
Speaker 1: and large right, Trey Lance hasn't played enough to have

464
00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:25,200
Speaker 1: any kind of track record, so they better be right. Yeah,

465
00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:28,680
Speaker 1: you're exactly right. It's a gamble, there's no doubt. It's

466
00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:32,560
Speaker 1: absolutely a gamble. But you gambled on this guy as

467
00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:34,760
Speaker 1: the number three overall pick. You made moves to get

468
00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:38,119
Speaker 1: up to that particular spot because you've made the moves

469
00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:40,800
Speaker 1: that you've made to get into that position because you

470
00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:45,359
Speaker 1: didn't think Garoppolo was that guy. Yes, now you carry

471
00:23:45,440 --> 00:23:48,840
Speaker 1: a lot of risk, but you're pushing the chips in

472
00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:52,560
Speaker 1: as an educated risk, so to speak, because you've seen

473
00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:55,600
Speaker 1: Garoppolo kind of in one of the reports I read

474
00:23:56,200 --> 00:23:57,920
Speaker 1: about two weeks ago, the fact that he sort of

475
00:23:57,920 --> 00:24:00,280
Speaker 1: shut out the organization once he got his money. He

476
00:24:00,359 --> 00:24:02,200
Speaker 1: showed up when he needed to, but he was kind

477
00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:04,040
Speaker 1: of off the grid, kind of all that kind of stuff.

478
00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:06,000
Speaker 1: I don't want to I don't want to ever really

479
00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:09,520
Speaker 1: poo poo Jimmy Garoppolo and what he's done. But I

480
00:24:09,560 --> 00:24:13,000
Speaker 1: think with the talent that he's had around him, there

481
00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:15,920
Speaker 1: was more meat left on the bone. And I think

482
00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:18,320
Speaker 1: that Trey Lance, I look at it and think that

483
00:24:18,359 --> 00:24:21,240
Speaker 1: guy can do a little bit more with what's there.

484
00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:24,200
Speaker 1: So they're gonna find out. They're gonna find out. So

485
00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:28,040
Speaker 1: I just the whole thing of well he wins. Okay,

486
00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:30,760
Speaker 1: that's a that's a result, and it's a result of

487
00:24:30,800 --> 00:24:34,040
Speaker 1: a lot of different aspects. Is he making a key

488
00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:36,399
Speaker 1: throws in that NFC Championship game? And look, I know

489
00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:38,960
Speaker 1: they got the NFC Championship game, but in the NFC

490
00:24:39,040 --> 00:24:41,800
Speaker 1: Championship game, he didn't make those key throws. Even in

491
00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:44,480
Speaker 1: a divisional playoff round the round before, it was Deebo

492
00:24:44,560 --> 00:24:46,320
Speaker 1: who made the big run and it was a block

493
00:24:46,359 --> 00:24:48,600
Speaker 1: punt that got him in position to beat the Packers

494
00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:52,280
Speaker 1: that night. So, and there are a lot of Niners

495
00:24:52,320 --> 00:24:54,359
Speaker 1: fans that think a lot like you, like, hey, this

496
00:24:54,400 --> 00:24:56,560
Speaker 1: guy has done it. We know what this guy can

497
00:24:56,680 --> 00:24:59,920
Speaker 1: can bring the unknown, But now it's Trey Lance and

498
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:02,399
Speaker 1: ounce the unknown because we got a good enough team.

499
00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:05,200
Speaker 1: We don't need the unknown, we don't need the risk.

500
00:25:05,640 --> 00:25:09,240
Speaker 1: Are we sure about this? So I it's I get

501
00:25:09,280 --> 00:25:12,200
Speaker 1: that it's gutsy because the Rams moving on from Jared

502
00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:15,560
Speaker 1: Goff was gutsy, right, And they had a season McVay

503
00:25:15,640 --> 00:25:19,280
Speaker 1: early where Goff and the Rams were the highest scoring

504
00:25:19,359 --> 00:25:23,880
Speaker 1: team in the NFL. They moved on from that. Okay,

505
00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:26,760
Speaker 1: not directly, because yea, things kind of straightened out a

506
00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:28,439
Speaker 1: little bit, flattened out a little bit. And we all

507
00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:31,080
Speaker 1: saw the Super Bowl with three points scored total, and

508
00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:33,560
Speaker 1: Wade Phillips is over there, and I'm looking at it, Wade,

509
00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:36,520
Speaker 1: like you just held your defense, just held the Patriots

510
00:25:36,520 --> 00:25:40,959
Speaker 1: to thirteen points. You take that every time going in, like,

511
00:25:41,359 --> 00:25:44,240
Speaker 1: will you take thirteen points aloud in this game? Yes?

512
00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:47,040
Speaker 1: Are you kidding? I don't have to look behind door

513
00:25:47,119 --> 00:25:49,520
Speaker 1: number two or what's in the box. I will take

514
00:25:49,560 --> 00:25:53,280
Speaker 1: the thirteen points Monty or Wayne Brady. And they took

515
00:25:53,320 --> 00:25:55,600
Speaker 1: the thirteen points and they only scored three. So that's

516
00:25:55,600 --> 00:25:58,040
Speaker 1: what happened. Another thing about Thursday's game with the Texans,

517
00:25:58,080 --> 00:26:02,040
Speaker 1: No matter what happens with remembering Jamie roots the Texans

518
00:26:02,080 --> 00:26:05,760
Speaker 1: players and football ops largely, they don't have any connection

519
00:26:05,800 --> 00:26:07,879
Speaker 1: with him because all these guys are new since Jamie

520
00:26:07,960 --> 00:26:10,679
Speaker 1: left the building. But the forty nine ers actually have

521
00:26:10,720 --> 00:26:13,040
Speaker 1: more of a connection. You have Kyle Shanahan, you have Demiko,

522
00:26:13,119 --> 00:26:15,760
Speaker 1: you have forty nine ers people. Who's Richard Hitsower there too?

523
00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:18,320
Speaker 1: I think he went to Chicago, Chicago, Yeah, that's right.

524
00:26:18,359 --> 00:26:20,919
Speaker 1: But Richard Hytower was a marketing intern here. Now he's

525
00:26:20,960 --> 00:26:24,520
Speaker 1: a special teams coordinator in this league. So that's interesting

526
00:26:24,560 --> 00:26:27,960
Speaker 1: to me. Like those guys really know, and the Texans

527
00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:31,159
Speaker 1: football people are like, huh, you know, but it's not

528
00:26:31,200 --> 00:26:33,760
Speaker 1: their fault. They just weren't in the building, you know,

529
00:26:33,840 --> 00:26:37,640
Speaker 1: buying large most of them when when Jamie left. So

530
00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:41,320
Speaker 1: I'm thinking about this a practice today, and I came

531
00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:46,119
Speaker 1: up with eleven players, yeah, nine position players because in

532
00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:51,120
Speaker 1: weeks that we're here in twenty twenty. Okay, now, twenty

533
00:26:51,200 --> 00:26:54,359
Speaker 1: twenty was COVID and so nobody had any contact with anybody.

534
00:26:54,400 --> 00:26:57,080
Speaker 1: And who's doing Who's new in twenty twenty, Well, Brandon

535
00:26:57,119 --> 00:26:59,960
Speaker 1: Cooks was new, Eric Murray was new, Johnthon Owens was new,

536
00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:03,760
Speaker 1: Pharrell Brown was new, Um, Charlie Heck was new, John

537
00:27:03,800 --> 00:27:06,640
Speaker 1: Grenard was new. I don't even count that, Jamie. I'm

538
00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:10,840
Speaker 1: still here, but I'll go to twenty nineteen twenty nineteen Laramie, Titus,

539
00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:14,800
Speaker 1: Max and two specialists. Yeah, and it was O'Brien coach.

540
00:27:14,920 --> 00:27:16,639
Speaker 1: There wasn't a lot of contact with the players. You

541
00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:18,879
Speaker 1: need like a background, a history here, you know, like

542
00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:23,440
Speaker 1: Justin Reid since twenty eighteen. He tweeted some. So so

543
00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:26,400
Speaker 1: there's that. Another thing is this Johnny Jamie never liked

544
00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:30,080
Speaker 1: it when I said moves the chain instead of chains.

545
00:27:30,200 --> 00:27:32,440
Speaker 1: I never made it a plural because there's one chain.

546
00:27:32,920 --> 00:27:34,879
Speaker 1: He was like, he would see me in the hallway

547
00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:38,560
Speaker 1: and say move the chains, you know, and I'd say chain,

548
00:27:38,680 --> 00:27:41,160
Speaker 1: it's one change, Amie. It would drive them nuts. Yeah

549
00:27:43,240 --> 00:27:45,119
Speaker 1: you got me. I was like, hey, he's right, you

550
00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:49,119
Speaker 1: got me on that early it sticks. There are multiple sticks.

551
00:27:49,119 --> 00:27:51,520
Speaker 1: But once I started doing so, tomorrow I might do

552
00:27:51,560 --> 00:27:53,800
Speaker 1: a chain. I mean Thursday night, it might do it chains.

553
00:27:53,840 --> 00:27:56,000
Speaker 1: We'll see, all right, it's gonna sound weird though I've

554
00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:57,600
Speaker 1: been listening to say move the chain for I know

555
00:27:57,720 --> 00:28:01,760
Speaker 1: I've gotten so I can't say means anyway. Coming up

556
00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:04,480
Speaker 1: Dpcity who catches up with Kyle Allen. Let's hear some

557
00:28:04,560 --> 00:28:06,720
Speaker 1: of that as he'll play a bunch on Thursday. You

558
00:28:06,760 --> 00:28:10,399
Speaker 1: would figure and also Daria Gunbuale. He's making noise in

559
00:28:10,440 --> 00:28:13,199

572
00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:08,600
Speaker 1: But what about Kyle Allen playing that reserve quarterback role

573
00:29:08,680 --> 00:29:11,680
Speaker 1: played well on Friday night against the Rams through the

574
00:29:11,720 --> 00:29:16,080
Speaker 1: touchdown past Tatigan Quatoriano Deep Besidu with the Deep Slant

575
00:29:16,120 --> 00:29:18,880
Speaker 1: interview presented by ex Finity caught up with the quarterback

576
00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:21,240
Speaker 1: Kyle Allen. First of all, Kyle welcome back to Houston.

577
00:29:21,240 --> 00:29:23,120
Speaker 1: What's it been like for you playing back here too.

578
00:29:23,320 --> 00:29:25,719
Speaker 1: It's been great. It's been enjoyable. You know. It's been

579
00:29:25,760 --> 00:29:27,600
Speaker 1: fun to kind of come back and know the city

580
00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:29,360
Speaker 1: a little bit, kind of hit my old restaurant, some

581
00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:32,800
Speaker 1: old spots, see some old people and feel comfortable, you know,

582
00:29:32,920 --> 00:29:34,520
Speaker 1: get back used to the heat too as well. It's

583
00:29:34,520 --> 00:29:36,160
Speaker 1: been a little bit of a process, but it's been good.

584
00:29:36,240 --> 00:29:38,040
Speaker 1: I'm sure you missed the heat. Anything else you missed

585
00:29:38,040 --> 00:29:40,720
Speaker 1: about Houston and Texas in general? Oh, I mean, I

586
00:29:40,800 --> 00:29:42,760
Speaker 1: love Texas. I think the food's great. The people who

587
00:29:42,960 --> 00:29:44,680
Speaker 1: in Texas are great. You know, I've always had I

588
00:29:44,680 --> 00:29:46,520
Speaker 1: mean it's spent four years here before coming here, so

589
00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:48,640
Speaker 1: Texas has always been awesome to me. All Right, So

590
00:29:48,640 --> 00:29:50,320
Speaker 1: you got some time in the preseason. What was that

591
00:29:50,400 --> 00:29:52,080
Speaker 1: like for you to get out there, get some reps

592
00:29:52,120 --> 00:29:55,160
Speaker 1: under your belt, throw a touchdown on that drive, knocking

593
00:29:55,200 --> 00:29:56,520
Speaker 1: off the rust. How different is it to play in

594
00:29:56,520 --> 00:29:58,760
Speaker 1: the preseason versus just being out of here at campus. Oh,

595
00:29:58,800 --> 00:30:01,280
Speaker 1: it's great. I've been into play in the preseason and

596
00:30:01,360 --> 00:30:03,840
Speaker 1: I was bummed to miss that first game, So that

597
00:30:03,880 --> 00:30:05,400
Speaker 1: whole week I was kind of itching ready to go.

598
00:30:05,440 --> 00:30:06,880
Speaker 1: So it was really nice to get out there and

599
00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:08,560
Speaker 1: have some success out there. It's good to get Tig

600
00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:10,720
Speaker 1: in that touchdown and just good to see the offense

601
00:30:10,800 --> 00:30:12,800
Speaker 1: kind of move with all all three guys in there too.

602
00:30:13,080 --> 00:30:15,040
Speaker 1: How challenging is it to go out there in the

603
00:30:15,040 --> 00:30:17,680
Speaker 1: preseason and play You've got all different receivers, You've got

604
00:30:17,720 --> 00:30:19,800
Speaker 1: a different defense that you're looking at every single time.

605
00:30:20,040 --> 00:30:21,680
Speaker 1: You know, what are the challenges for a quarterback in

606
00:30:21,720 --> 00:30:25,200
Speaker 1: particular to build that chemistry with all these different receivers. Yeah,

607
00:30:25,240 --> 00:30:27,200
Speaker 1: I think it's it's a lot different than playing in

608
00:30:27,200 --> 00:30:29,000
Speaker 1: the regular season. I think you've kind of just gotta

609
00:30:29,360 --> 00:30:32,160
Speaker 1: really lock in and focus in on the fundamentals. And

610
00:30:32,280 --> 00:30:34,480
Speaker 1: you know, the game plans smaller because of that, you know,

611
00:30:34,560 --> 00:30:37,040
Speaker 1: and so hopefully you're doing stuff that everyone knows, and

612
00:30:37,080 --> 00:30:38,960
Speaker 1: the defenses are a little bit more basic, so you're

613
00:30:38,960 --> 00:30:40,960
Speaker 1: not reading as much stuff. So it's really just about

614
00:30:40,960 --> 00:30:42,800
Speaker 1: executing and doing the little things right. And I think,

615
00:30:42,960 --> 00:30:44,280
Speaker 1: you know, as you get older, and I was like,

616
00:30:44,440 --> 00:30:46,040
Speaker 1: I've tried and tell the young guys is too, just

617
00:30:46,040 --> 00:30:47,160
Speaker 1: just go out there and nice coot and do your

618
00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:48,840
Speaker 1: job and you're gonna be fine, you know. I'd Philip

619
00:30:48,880 --> 00:30:50,640
Speaker 1: Dorsett saying that we've only seen a little bit of

620
00:30:50,640 --> 00:30:52,440
Speaker 1: this offense. We haven't they haven't really opened up the

621
00:30:52,440 --> 00:30:55,160
Speaker 1: playbook yet in the preseason, but you've obviously seen the

622
00:30:55,200 --> 00:30:57,520
Speaker 1: offense here with pet Hamilton. What excites you the most

623
00:30:57,520 --> 00:30:59,800
Speaker 1: about it once it does fully open. I think there's

624
00:30:59,840 --> 00:31:01,440
Speaker 1: a lot of good things. I don't want to give

625
00:31:01,720 --> 00:31:03,560
Speaker 1: too much away or give anything away, but I think

626
00:31:03,800 --> 00:31:05,520
Speaker 1: there's gonna be a lot of good things, and I'm

627
00:31:05,560 --> 00:31:07,520
Speaker 1: excited to be able to open it up. It's it

628
00:31:07,560 --> 00:31:09,680
Speaker 1: is tough in the preseason not showing everything and not

629
00:31:09,760 --> 00:31:11,400
Speaker 1: doing everything, and we come out here in practice, so

630
00:31:11,760 --> 00:31:14,479
Speaker 1: I'm excited for a week one. What's your familiarity with

631
00:31:14,480 --> 00:31:16,680
Speaker 1: this sort of offense in this scheme? You know, coming here,

632
00:31:16,720 --> 00:31:18,560
Speaker 1: it's obviously year four for you. You're not young in

633
00:31:18,600 --> 00:31:20,840
Speaker 1: the league, but you're not old by any means. I mean,

634
00:31:20,880 --> 00:31:23,160
Speaker 1: what was the adjustment period like for you? Yeah, I

635
00:31:23,160 --> 00:31:25,720
Speaker 1: mean it is different. I spent four years in North

636
00:31:25,760 --> 00:31:28,160
Speaker 1: Turner West Coast system, you know, with Scott Turner his

637
00:31:28,240 --> 00:31:30,280
Speaker 1: son too, so a lot of it at my time

638
00:31:30,320 --> 00:31:32,080
Speaker 1: has been that and this offense is a lot different

639
00:31:32,120 --> 00:31:33,400
Speaker 1: than that, And so there was a little bit of

640
00:31:33,400 --> 00:31:35,920
Speaker 1: adjustment period over the summer. I think probably after a

641
00:31:35,960 --> 00:31:37,680
Speaker 1: month I started to feel more and more comfortable, and

642
00:31:37,800 --> 00:31:39,560
Speaker 1: now being out here for a whole training camp, I

643
00:31:39,560 --> 00:31:41,280
Speaker 1: feel really good about it and it's been good. I've

644
00:31:41,280 --> 00:31:43,360
Speaker 1: found success in it. I feel like I'm understanding it

645
00:31:43,400 --> 00:31:45,480
Speaker 1: and I like it a lot. What's the quarterbacks room

646
00:31:45,520 --> 00:31:48,080
Speaker 1: like with Davis and yourself and Jeff Driscoll. It's good,

647
00:31:48,120 --> 00:31:49,640
Speaker 1: it's good. It's a fun room. I like the room.

648
00:31:49,840 --> 00:31:51,800
Speaker 1: Get pressure to grow mustache from Davis. I mean you

649
00:31:51,840 --> 00:31:53,400
Speaker 1: got a little you got the beer and shaved. I

650
00:31:53,400 --> 00:31:55,400
Speaker 1: could get it, but I mean it's not it's not great.

651
00:31:55,440 --> 00:31:57,120
Speaker 1: He has a good mustache. We made him shave it.

652
00:31:57,120 --> 00:31:59,440
Speaker 1: Though he shaved it. He did shave it. It was

653
00:31:59,480 --> 00:32:01,720
Speaker 1: a big hit with everybody, all right, for you personally,

654
00:32:01,800 --> 00:32:03,880
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm interviewing you. But you've got a podcast

655
00:32:03,960 --> 00:32:05,440
Speaker 1: of your own, So tell me a little bit about

656
00:32:05,440 --> 00:32:07,560
Speaker 1: this podcast that you've got. Yeah, that's a good call. Yeah.

657
00:32:07,560 --> 00:32:09,560
Speaker 1: Me and Jordan Palmer, I've trained with him since I

658
00:32:09,680 --> 00:32:11,840
Speaker 1: was sixteen out in California. He played in the league

659
00:32:11,880 --> 00:32:13,920
Speaker 1: for a long time. You know, we go out there's

660
00:32:13,920 --> 00:32:15,920
Speaker 1: a group of quarterbacks out in California that worked together

661
00:32:15,920 --> 00:32:17,920
Speaker 1: in offseason, and tons of high school and college kids

662
00:32:18,040 --> 00:32:19,840
Speaker 1: kind of filtered through there, and you know, we're always

663
00:32:19,880 --> 00:32:22,000
Speaker 1: talking about ball, talking about different things, and so we

664
00:32:22,080 --> 00:32:24,560
Speaker 1: decided we wanted to maybe just put something together and

665
00:32:24,600 --> 00:32:26,520
Speaker 1: so we could talk ball and bring on different quarterbacks

666
00:32:26,520 --> 00:32:28,680
Speaker 1: throughout the year who have who have good matchups coming up,

667
00:32:28,720 --> 00:32:30,920
Speaker 1: different things coming up and exciting things, and just kind

668
00:32:30,920 --> 00:32:32,680
Speaker 1: of highlight those things. And so yeah, I'm just doing

669
00:32:32,680 --> 00:32:34,440
Speaker 1: that on off days and it's been fun. I mean,

670
00:32:34,480 --> 00:32:36,080
Speaker 1: me and Jordan have always had a great relationship, so

671
00:32:36,160 --> 00:32:37,720
Speaker 1: hoping to see where that goes. I saw you inter

672
00:32:37,720 --> 00:32:39,920
Speaker 1: read Desmond rid of the Rookie, So any other guests

673
00:32:39,960 --> 00:32:41,560
Speaker 1: you can tell us about that you're really looking forward

674
00:32:41,560 --> 00:32:44,520
Speaker 1: to putting out there. I think we're maybe gonna get

675
00:32:44,680 --> 00:32:47,120
Speaker 1: Kenny Pickt on soon. We're gonna get Josh Allen to

676
00:32:47,160 --> 00:32:48,960
Speaker 1: come on week one before his game against the Rams,

677
00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:50,720
Speaker 1: and then you know, some of the other top college

678
00:32:50,720 --> 00:32:52,440
Speaker 1: guys throughout the year and some other NFL guys. So

679
00:32:52,440 --> 00:32:55,120
Speaker 1: we're excited. What have you learned about interviewing through this

680
00:32:55,160 --> 00:32:58,520
Speaker 1: podcasting process That's only been one So I've learned. I've

681
00:32:58,560 --> 00:33:00,280
Speaker 1: learned to shut up. You know. I've learned to let

682
00:33:00,320 --> 00:33:02,320
Speaker 1: the other person talk instead of talking too much, so

683
00:33:02,680 --> 00:33:05,920
Speaker 1: I gotta shut myself off sometimes. Well, we're always happy

684
00:33:05,960 --> 00:33:08,680
Speaker 1: to hear you talk. Thank you appreciate it. There's DP

685
00:33:08,840 --> 00:33:13,440
Speaker 1: City with Kyle Allen, and now, as promised, Johnny visits

686
00:33:13,480 --> 00:33:15,960
Speaker 1: with the running back Dhari A good BUALI he was

687
00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:19,040
Speaker 1: with the Texans, then the Jaguars, now back with the Texans.

688
00:33:19,320 --> 00:33:22,719
Speaker 1: What's happening looks pretty prucked about there in preseason games.

689
00:33:22,920 --> 00:33:26,360
Speaker 1: Let's find out more. Let's get the most important question

690
00:33:26,520 --> 00:33:29,680
Speaker 1: out of the way. Yesterday you knocked home a field

691
00:33:29,680 --> 00:33:32,760
Speaker 1: goal A from how far? And B? How far can

692
00:33:32,800 --> 00:33:36,400
Speaker 1: you go? Yesterday it was a thirty eight yard or

693
00:33:36,800 --> 00:33:39,120
Speaker 1: my father, so I've kicked was a forty five yard,

694
00:33:39,160 --> 00:33:40,960
Speaker 1: but it probably would have been good for further. But

695
00:33:41,480 --> 00:33:44,920
Speaker 1: yesterday it was just thirty eight though. Soccer background, yeah yeah,

696
00:33:44,920 --> 00:33:48,520
Speaker 1: I play soccer growing up through tenth grade and then

697
00:33:48,520 --> 00:33:50,080
Speaker 1: I supposed to win a football but he has a

698
00:33:50,080 --> 00:33:52,520
Speaker 1: soccer player growing up. Okay, but soccer is still in you,

699
00:33:52,600 --> 00:33:55,800
Speaker 1: so I gotta ask who's your team, who's your squad?

700
00:33:56,880 --> 00:33:59,600
Speaker 1: I've always been a PSG fan, just because I was

701
00:33:59,640 --> 00:34:01,880
Speaker 1: a fan, and then even when he left, I just

702
00:34:01,880 --> 00:34:03,920
Speaker 1: stuck with him. So I'll probably say that's my team,

703
00:34:04,640 --> 00:34:06,600
Speaker 1: all right. They probably can't beat Man City, but that's

704
00:34:06,640 --> 00:34:10,160
Speaker 1: a whole different story. Out together dark training camp. You've

705
00:34:10,160 --> 00:34:13,120
Speaker 1: been through three of the hottest places, Tampa Bay, Jacksonville, Houston.

706
00:34:13,160 --> 00:34:15,400
Speaker 1: Settled debate which one's the hottest, which one is the

707
00:34:15,440 --> 00:34:18,399
Speaker 1: most humid, which one is the most miserable. I would

708
00:34:18,400 --> 00:34:21,400
Speaker 1: probably say Houston's the hottest. Jacksonville is the most humid

709
00:34:22,680 --> 00:34:25,239
Speaker 1: miserable me. I'm not about to say training camp in

710
00:34:25,280 --> 00:34:28,160
Speaker 1: itself is a tough thing, but yeah, I'll probably say

711
00:34:28,360 --> 00:34:30,840
Speaker 1: Houston's the hottest show. Because I was watching Run the

712
00:34:30,880 --> 00:34:33,680
Speaker 1: Rock on Saturday night, I kept thinking about running backs

713
00:34:33,680 --> 00:34:37,239
Speaker 1: and getting in a rhythm as you run. How long

714
00:34:37,280 --> 00:34:39,480
Speaker 1: does it take, like during a game, how many carries

715
00:34:39,520 --> 00:34:41,120
Speaker 1: does it take ers it's just kind of a fuel

716
00:34:41,160 --> 00:34:43,279
Speaker 1: process to sort of get in a rhythm. Because it

717
00:34:43,280 --> 00:34:45,000
Speaker 1: felt like after a couple of carries you were kind

718
00:34:45,000 --> 00:34:47,040
Speaker 1: of in it during a game against the Rams. How

719
00:34:47,080 --> 00:34:48,640
Speaker 1: long does that kind of take for you during a game?

720
00:34:48,640 --> 00:34:51,080
Speaker 1: Maybe you've during the season to kind of get rolling

721
00:34:51,120 --> 00:34:53,520
Speaker 1: the way you want to. It varies, I mean I

722
00:34:53,840 --> 00:34:56,160
Speaker 1: guess when you when you're not the starting guy, when

723
00:34:56,160 --> 00:34:57,879
Speaker 1: you're not the first and second down guy, you kind

724
00:34:57,880 --> 00:34:59,799
Speaker 1: of have no choice but to be tuned in while

725
00:35:00,200 --> 00:35:01,920
Speaker 1: while the other guys are playing, just so you can

726
00:35:01,960 --> 00:35:05,000
Speaker 1: kind of feel that rhythm out. So I would say

727
00:35:05,040 --> 00:35:06,880
Speaker 1: you kind of have to get it, get it right away.

728
00:35:07,520 --> 00:35:09,480
Speaker 1: So I feel like right when I got into the game,

729
00:35:09,560 --> 00:35:11,440
Speaker 1: I was trying to make sure I just kept that

730
00:35:11,560 --> 00:35:15,040
Speaker 1: energy that that Marlon and Royson Rex had. But I

731
00:35:15,040 --> 00:35:17,160
Speaker 1: would say it definitely is a rhythm thing, is definitely

732
00:35:17,160 --> 00:35:20,200
Speaker 1: a feel and get to flow the game. As a veteran,

733
00:35:20,239 --> 00:35:22,400
Speaker 1: what's the one thing that you probably have picked up

734
00:35:22,400 --> 00:35:24,360
Speaker 1: over the years where you're like, man, I wish I

735
00:35:24,400 --> 00:35:26,880
Speaker 1: would have had this earlier, maybe in college or or

736
00:35:27,040 --> 00:35:30,120
Speaker 1: my earlier years that I've learned to take through to

737
00:35:30,239 --> 00:35:31,800
Speaker 1: my game as a veteran that maybe I could have

738
00:35:31,880 --> 00:35:34,720
Speaker 1: used earlier in my career. I would just say patience. Patience.

739
00:35:34,760 --> 00:35:36,680
Speaker 1: I mean, when you're young, you think every player is

740
00:35:36,680 --> 00:35:39,040
Speaker 1: supposed to be a home run play and you want

741
00:35:39,040 --> 00:35:41,520
Speaker 1: to make everybody miss trying to score. But but you

742
00:35:41,600 --> 00:35:43,920
Speaker 1: got the reality of some players are only meant to

743
00:35:43,960 --> 00:35:45,920
Speaker 1: get a certain amount of yards. You know and and

744
00:35:46,400 --> 00:35:48,400
Speaker 1: that's something that I learned, So just being patient with

745
00:35:48,520 --> 00:35:50,279
Speaker 1: taking it what the defense gives to you, and then

746
00:35:50,560 --> 00:35:53,719
Speaker 1: obviously trusting your instinct, trusting your skills to when that

747
00:35:53,760 --> 00:35:56,160
Speaker 1: opportunity comes to make that guy missed it to get

748
00:35:56,160 --> 00:35:58,279
Speaker 1: the big play, you gotta trust it. I think one

749
00:35:58,320 --> 00:36:00,560
Speaker 1: thing I've learned as a veteran now in the NFL

750
00:36:00,600 --> 00:36:03,120
Speaker 1: building is how different the team is from year to year,

751
00:36:03,160 --> 00:36:06,040
Speaker 1: how different each room is year to year. How's the

752
00:36:06,080 --> 00:36:08,560
Speaker 1: running back room this year? With the mix of guys

753
00:36:08,560 --> 00:36:10,920
Speaker 1: that you have, that's great, man, it's great. Obviously we

754
00:36:11,000 --> 00:36:13,680
Speaker 1: got DP, who's the rookie, but when we got guys

755
00:36:13,719 --> 00:36:15,600
Speaker 1: like Rex and then me and Marlon are both in

756
00:36:15,640 --> 00:36:17,799
Speaker 1: our six year Royses in his fifth year, so we

757
00:36:17,880 --> 00:36:20,640
Speaker 1: definitely got some experience in the room. And then obviously

758
00:36:20,680 --> 00:36:22,920
Speaker 1: having that youth with DP makes it fun. And then

759
00:36:22,920 --> 00:36:25,160
Speaker 1: on top of that, coach dB. He's a great coach.

760
00:36:25,560 --> 00:36:27,560
Speaker 1: He's been around for a while and he knows how

761
00:36:27,560 --> 00:36:29,640
Speaker 1: to win games. So he's definitely given us a lot

762
00:36:29,680 --> 00:36:32,080
Speaker 1: of knowledge. So I'm a big fan of our room

763
00:36:32,120 --> 00:36:33,759
Speaker 1: and I feel like we've learned a lot during camp.

764
00:36:34,200 --> 00:36:36,879
Speaker 1: Do you ever get from dB any well back when

765
00:36:36,880 --> 00:36:39,600
Speaker 1: I played. Nah, not really, we ask him. No, we

766
00:36:39,640 --> 00:36:41,840
Speaker 1: definitely like to ask him just because obviously, to me,

767
00:36:42,080 --> 00:36:44,480
Speaker 1: he was a successful player, played a real, real long time,

768
00:36:44,560 --> 00:36:46,279
Speaker 1: so you want to kind of pick his brain as

769
00:36:46,360 --> 00:36:49,040
Speaker 1: much as you can. But he is never unsolicited though.

770
00:36:49,080 --> 00:36:51,120
Speaker 1: We always ask questions, all right. As a kid that

771
00:36:51,239 --> 00:36:54,120
Speaker 1: was born in Marinatt, Wisconsin, I followed the Badgers my

772
00:36:54,320 --> 00:36:56,799
Speaker 1: entire life. I didn't move to Houston, so I do

773
00:36:56,840 --> 00:37:00,120
Speaker 1: say I mean Houstonian, but the Badgers are always top

774
00:37:00,040 --> 00:37:02,520
Speaker 1: of mind. So give me a thought about twenty twenty

775
00:37:02,560 --> 00:37:05,000
Speaker 1: two for the Wisconsin Badgers. I feel like we're going

776
00:37:05,080 --> 00:37:07,319
Speaker 1: to surprise some people. Man, we got some great, really

777
00:37:07,320 --> 00:37:10,440
Speaker 1: good players. Obviously coach Tris it's a great coach. But um,

778
00:37:10,560 --> 00:37:12,520
Speaker 1: we got some talent on the field this year. Obviously.

779
00:37:12,920 --> 00:37:15,560
Speaker 1: Um being a running back guy, I love to see

780
00:37:15,600 --> 00:37:18,520
Speaker 1: our running backs, Braylon and Chaz Man. I'm excited to

781
00:37:18,520 --> 00:37:20,719
Speaker 1: see what they're gonna do. But I feel like we're

782
00:37:20,719 --> 00:37:22,399
Speaker 1: gonna surprise some people. For sure. We got a lot

783
00:37:22,400 --> 00:37:24,440
Speaker 1: of talent in and those guys are hungry this year.

784
00:37:24,480 --> 00:37:26,480
Speaker 1: I mean, me and a couple of buddies went back

785
00:37:26,480 --> 00:37:28,759
Speaker 1: and worked out with them, on this offseason. I got

786
00:37:28,760 --> 00:37:30,759
Speaker 1: to see see it up close in person. Those guys

787
00:37:30,800 --> 00:37:33,680
Speaker 1: are ready to go. Sorry, appreciate your time, man, Thank

788
00:37:33,719 --> 00:37:37,120
Speaker 1: you very much. Thank you. Man. There's Johnny with dare Ogunbuale,

789
00:37:37,320 --> 00:37:39,680
Speaker 1: whose last name has five syllables. As a play by

790
00:37:39,680 --> 00:37:42,000
Speaker 1: play man, I have to understand these things even more

791
00:37:42,000 --> 00:37:46,480
Speaker 1: syllables than ocarronquo, which is four syllables total. And this

792
00:37:46,560 --> 00:37:49,239
Speaker 1: is important because by the time I say okaronquo, he's

793
00:37:49,239 --> 00:37:51,560
Speaker 1: into the backfield and sacked the quarterback, and he's in

794
00:37:51,600 --> 00:37:55,600
Speaker 1: the showers and in his jammies. Ogunbual he might be

795
00:37:55,680 --> 00:37:57,719
Speaker 1: deeper at the secondary and in the end zone by

796
00:37:57,719 --> 00:37:59,399
Speaker 1: the time I say his name. But that's just long

797
00:37:59,480 --> 00:38:02,000
Speaker 1: last name games. It's not that they're difficult to pronounce

798
00:38:02,000 --> 00:38:04,560
Speaker 1: it to me, it's that they're long. That's it. Anyway,

799
00:38:04,640 --> 00:38:08,439
Speaker 1: Dari is a great guy. Good interview, and coming up

800
00:38:08,600 --> 00:38:12,719
Speaker 1: another good interview this would be Titus Howard. So is

801
00:38:12,760 --> 00:38:15,759
Speaker 1: he still throwing the football at practice? Maybe not with

802
00:38:15,800 --> 00:38:18,560
Speaker 1: the full team, but just with the old lineman messing around.

803
00:38:18,640 --> 00:38:21,640
Speaker 1: Let's find out because he was a quarterback in college.

804
00:38:21,760 --> 00:38:26,520
Speaker 1: He's coming up next here on Texans Radio Chicksons radio

822
00:39:32,880 --> 00:39:35,520
Speaker 1: I bet because it just adds up. For example, there

823
00:39:35,520 --> 00:39:38,480
Speaker 1: are two, not one. Great reasons to fill up with Chevron.

824
00:39:38,520 --> 00:39:42,839
Speaker 1: With Tekron Number one unbeatable cleaning power a number two

825
00:39:43,200 --> 00:39:46,680
Speaker 1: or maybe this should be number one. Unbeatable mileage plus

826
00:39:46,800 --> 00:39:50,400
Speaker 1: Chevron puts Techron in every grade every gallant of their gasoline.

827
00:39:50,880 --> 00:39:54,080
Speaker 1: So that's two, no, way, three unbeatable reasons to go

828
00:39:54,120 --> 00:39:57,440
Speaker 1: with the one and only Chevron with Tekron, Care for

00:39:57,480 --> 00:40:02,279
Speaker 1: your Car, Care for your Car. We returned to Texans

830
00:40:02,440 --> 00:40:06,560
Speaker 1: All Excess Texans Radio Now. In the last segment, we

831
00:40:06,680 --> 00:40:09,520
Speaker 1: heard from dari Ogunbowali and Johnny talked to him about

832
00:40:09,640 --> 00:40:13,520
Speaker 1: kicking a field goal in practice. Well, speaking of players

833
00:40:13,520 --> 00:40:16,520
Speaker 1: who are multi talented, Ogunbowali might be able to kick

834
00:40:16,520 --> 00:40:18,360
Speaker 1: field goals, but can you throw the football well? Like

835
00:40:18,480 --> 00:40:21,439
Speaker 1: Titus Howard who was a quarterback in college once upon

836
00:40:21,480 --> 00:40:23,560
Speaker 1: a time, and I had a chance to visit with

837
00:40:23,600 --> 00:40:27,640
Speaker 1: the Texans right tackle first round draft choice from twenty nineteen.

838
00:40:27,719 --> 00:40:31,120
Speaker 1: Here's Titus. All right, Titus, the important question first, can

839
00:40:31,160 --> 00:40:35,080
Speaker 1: you still throw the rock? Well? Yes, sir. Good. Do

840
00:40:35,120 --> 00:40:36,800
Speaker 1: you guys ever toss it around out here just to

841
00:40:36,840 --> 00:40:39,520
Speaker 1: have some fun before practice? Yes, sir, we've been tossing

842
00:40:39,560 --> 00:40:42,080
Speaker 1: around all the time. We go play at thirty forty,

843
00:40:42,360 --> 00:40:44,040
Speaker 1: so we hit the go post and stuff like that.

844
00:40:44,160 --> 00:40:46,360
Speaker 1: So we had a little friendly competition going on. The

845
00:40:46,440 --> 00:40:48,440
Speaker 1: funny thing is I've talked to a number of guys.

846
00:40:48,440 --> 00:40:50,759
Speaker 1: When they find out that you were a quarterback and

847
00:40:50,920 --> 00:40:53,120
Speaker 1: very late in your career in college, they are a

848
00:40:53,120 --> 00:40:56,040
Speaker 1: little bit surprised. What's your reaction? Yeah, yeah, I think

849
00:40:56,080 --> 00:40:57,440
Speaker 1: every time I tell you a guy they'd be like,

850
00:40:57,600 --> 00:41:00,880
Speaker 1: so surprised because I big I am now, Like, oh man,

851
00:41:00,920 --> 00:41:02,400
Speaker 1: that's that's a lot of having like, hey, just look

852
00:41:02,400 --> 00:41:04,279
Speaker 1: at the tape and then they go back and look

853
00:41:04,320 --> 00:41:07,320
Speaker 1: at it. How big were you when you played quarterback?

854
00:41:07,560 --> 00:41:10,399
Speaker 1: I was like sixty three two twenty all right, well

855
00:41:10,400 --> 00:41:12,759
Speaker 1: that's reasonable, So tell me how did that help you though?

856
00:41:12,800 --> 00:41:14,640
Speaker 1: Doing what you do right now at tackle? I hop's

857
00:41:14,680 --> 00:41:18,280
Speaker 1: a lot because I'm able to play fast, pick up playbooks, fast,

858
00:41:18,320 --> 00:41:20,239
Speaker 1: see coverages. I'll be able to tail with some good

859
00:41:20,280 --> 00:41:22,360
Speaker 1: times when guys about to be a bliss story and

860
00:41:22,360 --> 00:41:25,080
Speaker 1: stuff like that. What are you working on individually now?

861
00:41:25,200 --> 00:41:27,680
Speaker 1: Because now you're a veteran, not a rookie, not a

862
00:41:27,800 --> 00:41:30,200
Speaker 1: young player anymore. You're not old, but you're not that

863
00:41:30,360 --> 00:41:33,520
Speaker 1: young anymore. My main goals this year is put some

864
00:41:33,600 --> 00:41:37,320
Speaker 1: good stuff on film consistently every week and just established

865
00:41:37,320 --> 00:41:39,120
Speaker 1: myself as one of the best right tackles in the league.

866
00:41:39,480 --> 00:41:41,480
Speaker 1: Does it feel good to be there at right tackle

867
00:41:41,480 --> 00:41:45,279
Speaker 1: it's supposed to moving around, Yes, sir, feels great, feel good,

868
00:41:45,440 --> 00:41:47,000
Speaker 1: feel good coming this year. I feel like this she

869
00:41:47,160 --> 00:41:49,239
Speaker 1: is gonna be a good year put to work in

870
00:41:49,400 --> 00:41:51,560
Speaker 1: and I'm excited to see what future host. All right,

871
00:41:51,600 --> 00:41:53,880
Speaker 1: So I've asked a couple of the offensive lineman who's

872
00:41:53,920 --> 00:41:57,160
Speaker 1: the big jokester in the meeting room? Who's the guy?

873
00:41:57,360 --> 00:42:00,560
Speaker 1: And a lot of people say, Cray, what's year? Vote?

874
00:42:00,880 --> 00:42:05,719
Speaker 1: I'll probably say McCarthy, Yeah, not you, it's I don't

875
00:42:05,760 --> 00:42:07,960
Speaker 1: want to be you, want to just say myself. But

876
00:42:08,400 --> 00:42:11,840
Speaker 1: if it's anybody's me and McCary house coach George Warhop

877
00:42:11,920 --> 00:42:15,840
Speaker 1: to work for. It's a great coach, very fundamental. He

878
00:42:15,880 --> 00:42:20,000
Speaker 1: doesn't miss anything. Que Curtius everyone the same. I was

879
00:42:20,000 --> 00:42:22,760
Speaker 1: a great coach and I think his mentality towards football.

880
00:42:22,920 --> 00:42:24,719
Speaker 1: It's gonna help the office line be good this year.

881
00:42:24,920 --> 00:42:27,440
Speaker 1: All right, So what's this last game offer up for you?

882
00:42:27,520 --> 00:42:30,080
Speaker 1: What are you working on here? I'm just looking to

883
00:42:30,840 --> 00:42:34,640
Speaker 1: just be consistent with my past sets, show that no

884
00:42:34,719 --> 00:42:37,399
Speaker 1: matter who they have out there on the front there,

885
00:42:38,000 --> 00:42:40,600
Speaker 1: I'm wanted the best, and I'm here to lock them down.

886
00:42:40,920 --> 00:42:43,120
Speaker 1: All right, Teddy slecks a lot? Is there no problem?

887
00:42:43,239 --> 00:42:45,760
Speaker 1: All right? There's Titus Howard coming off the practice field

888
00:42:45,760 --> 00:42:48,040
Speaker 1: as the guys are getting ready for the Thursday night

889
00:42:48,120 --> 00:42:52,080
Speaker 1: preseason finale against the San Francisco forty nine ers at

890
00:42:52,160 --> 00:42:56,080
Speaker 1: NRG Stadium. Very strange to have the preseason end after

891
00:42:56,160 --> 00:42:59,080
Speaker 1: Week three in general, which started last year. Of course

892
00:42:59,080 --> 00:43:02,640
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty we had no preseason. But the Texans

893
00:43:02,640 --> 00:43:06,320
Speaker 1: have the Thursday night nationally televised game, which means that's

894
00:43:06,320 --> 00:43:09,920
Speaker 1: it after Thursday night, nothing until opening day and we

895
00:43:10,000 --> 00:43:13,480
Speaker 1: can't wait. September eleventh against the Colts noon kick Liberty

896
00:43:13,480 --> 00:43:18,040
Speaker 1: White Kickoff. Texans app has your tickets plus Houston Texans

897
00:43:18,080 --> 00:43:21,799
Speaker 1: dot com, So check that out and get into the

898
00:43:21,880 --> 00:43:24,319
Speaker 1: game if you are not already. By the way, this

899
00:43:24,400 --> 00:43:26,839
Speaker 1: Thursday night nationally televised game, like we said, it's on

900
00:43:26,880 --> 00:43:30,200
Speaker 1: Amazon and they've got I mentioned this before. I think

901
00:43:30,440 --> 00:43:34,319
Speaker 1: eight trucks in the loading dock to broadcast this thing.

902
00:43:34,400 --> 00:43:36,759
Speaker 1: They'll have angles from everywhere. I think they're putting a

903
00:43:36,840 --> 00:43:39,839
Speaker 1: camera on me. They might have van cam. I don't know,

904
00:43:40,239 --> 00:43:43,200
Speaker 1: but it'll be wild to see the kind of production

905
00:43:43,239 --> 00:43:45,719
Speaker 1: they put together, and it's on over the air TV

906
00:43:45,880 --> 00:43:48,600
Speaker 1: in Houston on Fox twenty six. A lot of people

907
00:43:48,640 --> 00:43:52,560
Speaker 1: can't get this straight, and I understand it's complicated. So

908
00:43:52,680 --> 00:43:56,360
Speaker 1: Amazon has these games. If your team is playing the

909
00:43:56,480 --> 00:44:00,560
Speaker 1: participating team's home markets have the game on an over

910
00:44:00,560 --> 00:44:03,239
Speaker 1: the air station. But if say the Ravens are playing

911
00:44:03,239 --> 00:44:05,399
Speaker 1: the Bengals, you've got to log on Amazon to watch

912
00:44:05,440 --> 00:44:07,040
Speaker 1: that game. But this Thursday, you can see it on

913
00:44:07,080 --> 00:44:10,040
Speaker 1: Box twenty six. And more importantly, let's be honest, hear

914
00:44:10,080 --> 00:44:13,440
Speaker 1: it right here on Sports Radio six ten, the Texans

915
00:44:13,440 --> 00:44:16,760
Speaker 1: app Odyssey app or the Bull one hundred point three FM,

916
00:44:16,800 --> 00:44:19,120
Speaker 1: and we have affiliates all over the state of Texas.

917
00:44:19,160 --> 00:44:22,880
Speaker 1: If you're on the road taking a long weekend starting

918
00:44:22,920 --> 00:44:27,280
Speaker 1: Thursday night, so listen in watch. It'll be fun. Texans

919
00:44:27,360 --> 00:44:30,120
Speaker 1: playing the Niners. As we mentioned, plenty of former Texans

920
00:44:30,160 --> 00:44:36,200
Speaker 1: employees as part of that Niners organization, most prominently Kyle Shanahan,

921
00:44:36,239 --> 00:44:39,440
Speaker 1: the head coach, and Demiko Ryans, the defensive coordinator who

922
00:44:39,520 --> 00:44:41,120
Speaker 1: is going to be a head coach. And I've given

923
00:44:41,120 --> 00:44:43,080
Speaker 1: you my take on Jail and Petrie. By the way,

924
00:44:43,320 --> 00:44:46,440
Speaker 1: he to me is the young Demiko Ryans of the

925
00:44:46,600 --> 00:44:51,880
Speaker 1: secondary equivalent. Okay, as Demiko Ryans was two linebackers his

926
00:44:52,000 --> 00:44:54,200
Speaker 1: rookie year at this time, prior to playing a regular

927
00:44:54,200 --> 00:44:56,359
Speaker 1: season game. That's how I feel about Petrie. And let's

928
00:44:56,400 --> 00:44:59,279
Speaker 1: just hope he continues on that trajectory. All right, that's

929
00:44:59,320 --> 00:45:01,319
Speaker 1: going to do. It will end the show the way

930
00:45:01,360 --> 00:45:05,880
Speaker 1: we began with a salute to Jamie Roots, former Texans president,

931
00:45:06,320 --> 00:45:09,319
Speaker 1: who has died this week. And it's so tragic and

932
00:45:09,400 --> 00:45:12,359
Speaker 1: the loss is so heavy here in the building, all

933
00:45:12,360 --> 00:45:15,040
Speaker 1: of us who worked with him and for him, And

934
00:45:15,239 --> 00:45:18,320
Speaker 1: I wrote this on Facebook. I always left his office

935
00:45:18,880 --> 00:45:22,399
Speaker 1: feeling better than when I went in, being better, feeling better.

936
00:45:22,440 --> 00:45:24,560
Speaker 1: He always gave me a boost. He always encouraged me

937
00:45:24,640 --> 00:45:28,920
Speaker 1: to grow, to be stronger, do more. And I'm always

938
00:45:28,920 --> 00:45:32,760
Speaker 1: grateful for our friendship and for our time together working

939
00:45:32,800 --> 00:45:37,000
Speaker 1: in this organization. And I'm just heartbroken. Anyway, we really
