WEBVTT - BOOM! Pads come on at Training Camp | Texans All Access 0:00:00.080 --> 0:00:03.000 What's up, everybody. Welcome into a new week of Texans 0:00:03.080 --> 0:00:06.600 All Access, a Monday edition from the UNDA Texans Radio studio. 0:00:07.000 --> 0:00:10.680 John and Mark with you. Mark. Another day of practice, 0:00:10.760 --> 0:00:15.520 a sweltering one out the Houston Methis Training Center. But 0:00:15.720 --> 0:00:18.000 we got through it. Now we got Texans All Access. 0:00:18.000 --> 0:00:20.279 How you doing, Yeah, I'm doing great, Johnny eleven on 0:00:20.320 --> 0:00:23.240 eleven stuff today in full pads was fun to watch. 0:00:23.320 --> 0:00:25.360 It was tough for the offense to get stuff going. 0:00:25.400 --> 0:00:28.160 I like the physical play. I think it was more 0:00:28.200 --> 0:00:31.520 of what we've seen in that we're seeing the defense 0:00:32.040 --> 0:00:34.760 make a lot of plays here, making their presence felt. 0:00:34.760 --> 0:00:37.640 We talk about the talent level on that side of 0:00:37.640 --> 0:00:40.040 the ball all the time, not that there's not talent 0:00:40.120 --> 0:00:42.639 on the offensive side of the ball, but defense still 0:00:42.680 --> 0:00:44.560 ahead of the offense as far as I can see 0:00:44.560 --> 0:00:47.920 it right now, and we're still waiting for that electrifying 0:00:48.000 --> 0:00:51.920 offensive practice. We've seen some lightning bolts, but I'm waiting 0:00:51.960 --> 0:00:52.800 for the storm. 0:00:53.120 --> 0:00:55.080 There have been a couple times, You're right, lightning bolts 0:00:55.080 --> 0:00:58.000 for sure, all right. In hockey, they do this thing 0:00:58.240 --> 0:01:00.680 called three Stars. After a win, they give out three 0:01:00.680 --> 0:01:04.200 star three stars of the game, like one two three, two, one, 0:01:04.240 --> 0:01:07.120 and they they come and they skate out, and third 0:01:07.160 --> 0:01:11.040 star is Marcell Dion and he comes out here. You 0:01:11.400 --> 0:01:14.280 second star, you know, Jacques LaPlante. 0:01:14.319 --> 0:01:15.720 Hey, you know. 0:01:15.840 --> 0:01:18.679 Then it's Wayne Gretzky starting number one. So that's what 0:01:18.680 --> 0:01:23.600 we're gonna do. Three stars that we've seen through the 0:01:23.640 --> 0:01:27.000 first five days of practice. And I don't care who 0:01:27.040 --> 0:01:27.319 you pick. 0:01:27.360 --> 0:01:27.760 I don't care. 0:01:27.800 --> 0:01:29.680 You could pick Cam Johnson because Cam has been hitting 0:01:29.680 --> 0:01:33.400 some tags, so you could pick Cam Johnston. But we're 0:01:33.440 --> 0:01:40.440 each picking three stars from the first five days of practice. Okay, 0:01:40.560 --> 0:01:43.320 you want to go first or second, I'll go first. Okay, 0:01:43.319 --> 0:01:47.240 go ahead, Okay, I'll go defense. I'll go linebacker. And 0:01:47.280 --> 0:01:48.480 you know where I'm going with this one. 0:01:48.560 --> 0:01:51.960 Dude, Blake Cashman, Yes, Blake Cashman, the former New York 0:01:52.040 --> 0:01:55.280 Jet had injury problems there, came over here last year. 0:01:55.640 --> 0:01:57.240 I think it was backed up a little last year 0:01:57.240 --> 0:01:59.240 as well at the beginning, but he got in there 0:01:59.360 --> 0:02:00.760 and he made his reence felt. 0:02:00.800 --> 0:02:02.880 And he's one of those linebackers. 0:02:03.280 --> 0:02:06.279 Look, we haven't done our full No one's talking about 0:02:06.280 --> 0:02:09.920 this guy Guy and impossible not to ignore Guy Guy 0:02:10.320 --> 0:02:12.640 Awards in the morning, and we will get to that. 0:02:12.720 --> 0:02:15.120 I'm sure because we're still relatively early in these training 0:02:15.120 --> 0:02:16.000 camp morning shows. 0:02:16.080 --> 0:02:18.160 Actually, how early are we? We're four in. 0:02:18.440 --> 0:02:22.639 We're almost halfway through, my goodness, but Blake Cashman had 0:02:22.680 --> 0:02:26.359 to pick on Sunday, how to pick on Monday, how 0:02:26.360 --> 0:02:29.960 to knock down on Sunday. The guy is making all 0:02:30.000 --> 0:02:33.080 sorts of plays. I feel like he's got a really 0:02:33.120 --> 0:02:36.799 great grasp of this, so in practice it's not easy 0:02:36.840 --> 0:02:39.880 for him, but he's making plays. He's finding ways to 0:02:39.919 --> 0:02:43.919 make plays. And the linebacking corps is pretty thick here, 0:02:44.080 --> 0:02:47.120 particularly since you're only gonna play two guys for seventy 0:02:47.160 --> 0:02:49.080 eighty percent of the time because you're a nickel all 0:02:49.120 --> 0:02:51.720 the time. Blake Cashman is going to make it a 0:02:51.800 --> 0:02:54.120 really tough cut. I think he makes this team, but 0:02:54.280 --> 0:02:56.280 that means names, you know, have got to go. So 0:02:56.280 --> 0:02:57.840 I don't know how it's all gonna shake out, but 0:02:58.040 --> 0:02:58.919 that's my first start. 0:02:59.080 --> 0:03:01.440 Yeah, I'm with you, you know what, I'm gonna follow 0:03:01.440 --> 0:03:05.920 you up with a linebacker. And I didn't get a 0:03:05.960 --> 0:03:10.040 chance to watch him completely today in pads, but I 0:03:10.080 --> 0:03:12.080 did see him pop a couple times, and that tells 0:03:12.080 --> 0:03:15.400 me something. And he's running with the ones too, which 0:03:15.480 --> 0:03:22.440 is pretty impressive. Henry Toatoa. There's a play today Monday 0:03:22.680 --> 0:03:25.280 toss play Damian Pierce to the right side right. I 0:03:25.320 --> 0:03:27.280 can't remember what kind of concept it was. I don't 0:03:27.280 --> 0:03:29.400 know if his pin and pull or outside zone like, 0:03:29.680 --> 0:03:32.440 I don't know, but there's all kinds of chaos. And 0:03:32.480 --> 0:03:34.280 so he's at the mic backer, so he's right over 0:03:34.320 --> 0:03:37.160 the center and this play hits wide to the right, 0:03:37.320 --> 0:03:41.400 to his left, and I'm telling you, he somehow. I 0:03:41.440 --> 0:03:43.480 saw this up on the I saw it live. I'm like, 0:03:44.080 --> 0:03:47.920 Totoa tagged off on him, sent to tackling. Where did 0:03:47.920 --> 0:03:50.160 he come from? Like, wait, he's at mike backer right now. 0:03:50.200 --> 0:03:51.560 So I look up on the video board and I 0:03:51.600 --> 0:03:55.640 watched the play again. I'm like, holy cow, he just 0:03:56.000 --> 0:04:00.160 hell bent, just straight lined it through all the chaos 0:04:01.040 --> 0:04:04.720 somehow didn't hit anybody found. It was like it was 0:04:04.760 --> 0:04:06.800 like a path just opened up and he's followed it 0:04:06.840 --> 0:04:08.280 and banged right at the end of that path was 0:04:08.320 --> 0:04:11.200 Damian Pierce the football and he tagged off on him, 0:04:11.200 --> 0:04:15.480 and I thought, whoa, that was impressive. And he's done 0:04:15.520 --> 0:04:17.600 that a number of times where the speed gets there, 0:04:17.600 --> 0:04:20.520 he gets guys lined up I'm going Henry toto. I'm 0:04:20.560 --> 0:04:22.880 going to another rookie a little bit later, unless you 0:04:22.880 --> 0:04:25.280 steal him, which you can, but I'm not telling you 0:04:25.320 --> 0:04:28.040 who it is. But Henry TOTOA has been all kinds 0:04:28.080 --> 0:04:31.160 of impressive. I don't know what this means, whether he starts, 0:04:31.240 --> 0:04:34.080 whether he's just special teams, whatever, but I'll tell you this, 0:04:34.120 --> 0:04:35.800 he's making an impact on his team this year in 0:04:35.800 --> 0:04:36.680 some way, shape or form. 0:04:37.120 --> 0:04:40.200 All Right, I'm gonna go next, going to the offensive side. 0:04:40.240 --> 0:04:42.800 We can bounce around here, okay, And I'm gonna go 0:04:42.880 --> 0:04:44.320 with a familiar name. 0:04:44.480 --> 0:04:45.320 But bear with me. 0:04:45.720 --> 0:04:49.000 Damian Pierce, all right, And I know, oh the running 0:04:49.120 --> 0:04:52.880 the running lanes haven't been there all the time without pads, 0:04:53.200 --> 0:04:55.440 with pads, it's Damian Pierce. 0:04:55.640 --> 0:04:57.360 He's gonna get his just. 0:04:57.400 --> 0:05:01.679 Waight lights go on, slight sliver of daylight type hole. 0:05:01.800 --> 0:05:04.080 He runs through it and creates a bigger one and 0:05:04.200 --> 0:05:07.760 makes an impression on the defender whoever decides to meet him. 0:05:07.960 --> 0:05:11.480 The angry run specialist, Damian Pierce. But I bring him 0:05:11.560 --> 0:05:15.440 up because I got a feeling in this offense they're 0:05:15.440 --> 0:05:17.640 gonna be throwing him the ball. And I'm not saying 0:05:17.640 --> 0:05:20.320 ten times a game, Johnny. But it's gonna come in handy, 0:05:20.480 --> 0:05:23.040 especially if you're playing a young quarterback. If you know 0:05:23.080 --> 0:05:24.840 what I mean, You're gonna swing it out to Pierce. 0:05:25.200 --> 0:05:28.480 He is gonna make plays in space. I know they 0:05:28.560 --> 0:05:30.360 are making well. They haven't told me, but I can 0:05:30.440 --> 0:05:32.919 see it with my own eyes, a concerted effort to 0:05:32.960 --> 0:05:34.920 get him the ball in the passing game. Get them 0:05:34.920 --> 0:05:37.000 the ball so we can match up on safeties and 0:05:37.200 --> 0:05:39.400 whoever else might try to cover him on the edge 0:05:39.640 --> 0:05:42.760 and just make Hey that way instead of having to 0:05:42.800 --> 0:05:45.320 pound his body between the tackles all the time like 0:05:45.440 --> 0:05:47.120 he did last year. This is gonna be fun to 0:05:47.160 --> 0:05:48.600 watch Damian Pierce through the air. 0:05:49.200 --> 0:05:51.080 Okay, you want the class of twenty twenty two. 0:05:51.800 --> 0:05:52.320 I like that. 0:05:53.680 --> 0:05:57.840 I'm gonna go with that same class, and I'm going 0:05:57.920 --> 0:06:03.160 with former second round. I'm gonna go Jalen Petrie. I 0:06:03.279 --> 0:06:06.880 think he's playing football now at a level he didn't 0:06:06.920 --> 0:06:10.640 even approach his rookie I know it's training camp. I 0:06:10.640 --> 0:06:12.080 get it. That's kind of the point we're picking our 0:06:12.120 --> 0:06:16.320 three stars of training camp. He is around the football 0:06:17.600 --> 0:06:20.160 all the time. There's no better way to put it. 0:06:20.600 --> 0:06:24.560 He reads it, he sees it he goes today. There's 0:06:24.760 --> 0:06:27.520 so many plays today. And by the way, first day 0:06:27.520 --> 0:06:30.240 in pads, he's miked up. So we'll have the micd 0:06:30.279 --> 0:06:32.120 up for you, Houston Texas dot Com. I don't know, 0:06:32.320 --> 0:06:34.760 I know our guys in the in the in the 0:06:34.880 --> 0:06:37.000 video department will put that together. SuDS and the guys 0:06:37.080 --> 0:06:39.000 up there will have something great. So it may not 0:06:39.120 --> 0:06:40.839 be today, but just be on the lookout for it. 0:06:40.920 --> 0:06:43.240 Jalen Petrie micdup is gonna be awesome. It's just because 0:06:43.240 --> 0:06:47.400 it's Jalen. But they ran zone read. It's the first 0:06:47.400 --> 0:06:49.479 time I've seen the offense run a true zone read 0:06:50.560 --> 0:06:52.560 and CJ kept it. They're down on the goal line 0:06:52.600 --> 0:06:54.440 and CJ kept it the first time I've seen it 0:06:54.520 --> 0:06:56.479 five days, the first time I've seen them run zone read. 0:06:57.400 --> 0:07:01.400 And the defense is pretty much fooled except for one guy. 0:07:01.880 --> 0:07:05.360 He Jalen Petrie is right there. He watches and I 0:07:05.600 --> 0:07:10.240 Stroud the whole way locks in and as CJ starts 0:07:10.280 --> 0:07:12.920 to run, Jalen is literally tagging off on his hip 0:07:12.960 --> 0:07:16.200 two yards deep in the backfield. I just I'm floored. 0:07:16.560 --> 0:07:20.760 But he has made every play you could possibly make. 0:07:21.080 --> 0:07:24.160 He is so in command of his game. He has 0:07:24.200 --> 0:07:27.760 become a leader. I think the guys love him. I 0:07:27.800 --> 0:07:30.080 thought it was interesting being in Dallas for Big twelve 0:07:30.080 --> 0:07:33.000 media days and I've known this, but to actually see 0:07:33.040 --> 0:07:38.440 it in play. When I mentioned I was with the Texans, Oh, 0:07:39.080 --> 0:07:39.720 how's Jalen? 0:07:39.920 --> 0:07:40.040 Like? 0:07:40.320 --> 0:07:44.040 The love Baylor people had for Jalen was unbelievable. And 0:07:44.080 --> 0:07:46.960 when I asked, you know, I just go there and 0:07:47.080 --> 0:07:48.760 I'm just trying to give whatever interviews I can. I 0:07:48.760 --> 0:07:50.760 know Dan Holgerson, so it's easy enough to get an 0:07:50.760 --> 0:07:52.920 interview with him. I don't know David Andertll. I've never 0:07:52.920 --> 0:07:55.640 met him, but I went to the Baylor sid and 0:07:55.680 --> 0:07:58.320 I met him at pro day and I just asked him. 0:07:58.360 --> 0:08:00.000 I said, is there any way that I could get 0:08:00.320 --> 0:08:03.320 couch youran to talk about Jalen Petrie. Absolutely, I'll make 0:08:03.360 --> 0:08:06.080 it happen like it was Jalen Petrie. It wasn't just 0:08:06.120 --> 0:08:08.520 to talk. He was getting get him to talk about 0:08:08.560 --> 0:08:11.360 Jayen Petrie. And I asked coach one question. He gave 0:08:11.360 --> 0:08:15.800 me five minutes, I mean, and we talked afterwards. He 0:08:16.000 --> 0:08:18.160 is playing at a level right now that I don't 0:08:18.200 --> 0:08:20.000 remember even seeing play as a rookie. You know it 0:08:20.040 --> 0:08:22.120 means a rookie. There's so many things going on. I 0:08:22.160 --> 0:08:23.880 just can't wait to see what he and Jimmy Ward 0:08:23.880 --> 0:08:26.360 are doing together. But I'm gonna go Jayalen Petrie all right, 0:08:26.440 --> 0:08:27.200 my third guy. 0:08:27.280 --> 0:08:30.200 Okay, Look, we've all heard about Tank Dell, and for 0:08:30.240 --> 0:08:32.280 good reason. Tank looks really good out there. We talked 0:08:32.280 --> 0:08:34.240 about his professionalism this morning. 0:08:34.400 --> 0:08:36.840 Yep. But I'm gonna point to another rookie here. Oh, 0:08:36.920 --> 0:08:38.760 you're stealing my guy. Sorry, that's okay. 0:08:38.920 --> 0:08:45.760 Xavier Hutchinson has been impossible to ignore. This player has 0:08:45.880 --> 0:08:49.000 made lots of plays in camp so far. I'm talking 0:08:49.040 --> 0:08:52.520 deep balls, I'm talking nice patterns. This is a player 0:08:52.520 --> 0:08:55.120 who caught one hundred and seven passes last year. He 0:08:55.240 --> 0:08:58.960 averaged almost ten catches per game, and it wasn't like 0:08:59.000 --> 0:09:02.480 it was all short stuff. He is a player and 0:09:02.559 --> 0:09:04.280 he's gonna be one in this league. I don't know 0:09:04.320 --> 0:09:06.400 how he fits in how many I can't make all 0:09:06.440 --> 0:09:10.679 those predictions, but it's a no brainer that he survives 0:09:10.720 --> 0:09:13.560 the cut, that he's on the squad, and we'll see 0:09:13.559 --> 0:09:15.760 how he fits in ultimately. I love that he and 0:09:15.840 --> 0:09:18.040 Tank are two and three in the NCAA last year. 0:09:18.120 --> 0:09:21.960 In receptions and you have these really productive guys on 0:09:22.000 --> 0:09:24.000 your team and they're showing why this is. 0:09:23.960 --> 0:09:24.760 Football to him. 0:09:24.840 --> 0:09:27.120 Yeah, it's a tougher level of football, there's no doubt 0:09:27.160 --> 0:09:30.160 it's a pro level. But he's out there playing football, 0:09:30.240 --> 0:09:33.720 Johnny and learning this offense and running crisp, precise routes, 0:09:33.960 --> 0:09:34.600 good hands. 0:09:34.720 --> 0:09:39.440 I love Xavier Hutchinson. Show me more Sunday one on ones. 0:09:39.840 --> 0:09:43.880 Deep ball touchdown today, Mills route, which is one of 0:09:43.920 --> 0:09:46.280 my favorite routes. And it's not named Mills because of 0:09:46.360 --> 0:09:49.160 Davis Mills. It's named Mills because it was Ernie Mills 0:09:49.200 --> 0:09:51.280 back at Florida that ran it Florida who started this 0:09:51.320 --> 0:09:53.760 with spurry or you gotta dig with a post and 0:09:53.800 --> 0:09:56.160 if they're in cover three, if the safety bites to dig, 0:09:56.240 --> 0:09:58.160 throw the post. He stayed with the post. Throw a dig. 0:09:58.559 --> 0:10:02.360 It's perfect right against cover three and Xavier're wide open. Touchdown. 0:10:02.960 --> 0:10:07.839 Now he would not have had that touchdown if we're 0:10:07.840 --> 0:10:11.200 playing real football because my star number three. Now this 0:10:11.320 --> 0:10:15.079 seems easy, but if I'm being true to it, stars 0:10:15.240 --> 0:10:19.400 in camp, we've got to mention Will Anderson Jr. Have 0:10:19.559 --> 0:10:21.000 to he. 0:10:22.920 --> 0:10:23.079 Mark. 0:10:23.200 --> 0:10:25.480 I don't even know how to say this other than 0:10:26.040 --> 0:10:29.839 those people that were arguing, who's bad value has to 0:10:29.920 --> 0:10:32.760 the draft? You gave him ask you're talking in theory 0:10:32.800 --> 0:10:36.680 about assets and liabilities and things. We're talking about a 0:10:36.800 --> 0:10:39.920 dude that's going to impact this football team. It already 0:10:39.960 --> 0:10:43.200 he already has. But from the time he sets foot 0:10:43.200 --> 0:10:45.320 on the field wearing number fifty one jersey in a 0:10:45.400 --> 0:10:49.719 game going forward, he will leave an impact on this 0:10:49.840 --> 0:10:53.880 team everything that he does. We have not had a 0:10:54.000 --> 0:10:59.319 dynamic defender like him in a long time. A long time, 0:10:59.400 --> 0:11:02.200 let's just say that, a long time. It has been 0:11:02.240 --> 0:11:04.840 a while since we've had a guy like this. And 0:11:05.440 --> 0:11:09.320 on that throw to Hutchinson, will beat the tackle so 0:11:09.480 --> 0:11:12.760 badly he basically bulled him off the line, shocked him 0:11:13.120 --> 0:11:16.480 and then immediately just yanked him to the ground, ripped 0:11:16.480 --> 0:11:18.640 through it and got around him and was tagging off 0:11:18.840 --> 0:11:21.240 on a quarterback. I think it was Davis tagging off 0:11:21.240 --> 0:11:24.680 on the quarterback, and the quarterback still took two shuffle 0:11:24.679 --> 0:11:26.319 steps to throw the bout to Hutchinson. It would have 0:11:26.360 --> 0:11:31.920 been a definite sack. But his power, his explosiveness, whether 0:11:31.960 --> 0:11:35.880 he's playing inside, whether he's playing outside, he has just 0:11:35.960 --> 0:11:37.959 been all that in the bag of chips again it's 0:11:38.040 --> 0:11:40.600 training camp. But I don't know that I've seen a 0:11:40.640 --> 0:11:44.559 guy impact from day one, like where I've just looked back. 0:11:44.880 --> 0:11:48.800 Whoa wow, I don't think I've ever do I not here? 0:11:48.880 --> 0:11:51.640 I mean, I mean even like if you go back 0:11:51.679 --> 0:11:53.800 to JJ in twenty eleven, like you could see JJ 0:11:53.880 --> 0:11:57.320 could play, but he didn't see that impact. You didn't 0:11:57.320 --> 0:11:59.760 see the yes this early. 0:11:59.800 --> 0:12:01.720 I mean you saw some yeah, but what you saw 0:12:01.720 --> 0:12:03.840 in training camp with Watt, as I recall, was him 0:12:03.960 --> 0:12:06.160 batting down everything he's able to get all the right 0:12:06.240 --> 0:12:09.280 all those batdowns right, great ball sense, ball skills, all that, 0:12:09.960 --> 0:12:12.480 and it was very notable. But the pass rush stuff 0:12:12.559 --> 0:12:15.000 came along as we got to the postseason at twenty eleven. 0:12:15.040 --> 0:12:16.920 And what did you say about Will Anderson and Monday 0:12:16.960 --> 0:12:19.360 Morning Show? You said, this is a big day for 0:12:19.440 --> 0:12:21.280 Will in pads. We'll see what he does. Well, you 0:12:21.280 --> 0:12:21.760 saw what he did. 0:12:21.880 --> 0:12:23.440 Yeah, we saw what he did and it was it 0:12:23.480 --> 0:12:27.320 was pretty darn impressive, no doubt, also impressive. The General 0:12:27.600 --> 0:12:29.880 JOm McClain, what did you have to say this morning? 0:12:29.960 --> 0:12:31.920 We asked him about all things going on with the 0:12:31.960 --> 0:12:33.240 Texans and the NFL. 0:12:33.720 --> 0:12:36.800 We've been here for all the coaches. Of course, some 0:12:36.920 --> 0:12:41.160 coaches say a little bit less about rookies. Tamiko Ryans, 0:12:41.160 --> 0:12:44.160 He'll talk about anybody you know behind closed doors. 0:12:44.360 --> 0:12:46.200 He's coaching them hard. He's got Bran. 0:12:46.240 --> 0:12:49.480 Wouldn't acknowledge a rookie, Yeah, he use the drop Ben rookies, 0:12:49.600 --> 0:12:51.920 No nothing, And if you ask him about a player, 0:12:51.920 --> 0:12:53.120 you talk about a position. 0:12:53.800 --> 0:12:54.040 Yep. 0:12:54.120 --> 0:12:56.520 I'm doing a column on Tank and I got a 0:12:56.559 --> 0:12:59.480 call him up right now CJ. Stroudsports Radio six ten 0:12:59.559 --> 0:13:02.800 dot com, and I can't wait to get Tank out there. 0:13:03.840 --> 0:13:06.120 I think we've been requesting him a long time. They're 0:13:06.120 --> 0:13:09.920 worried about what he's going to say because he's pretty outspoken. 0:13:10.000 --> 0:13:14.000 He's funny, he's honest, and I love it. I did 0:13:14.000 --> 0:13:17.520 a column on him for Gallery Sports when we were 0:13:17.600 --> 0:13:21.000 at the Combat and about how much he wanted to 0:13:21.000 --> 0:13:22.080 be drafted. 0:13:21.679 --> 0:13:23.840 By the Texans, and I said, well. 0:13:23.880 --> 0:13:26.720 You know, the odds are against that, but he really 0:13:26.760 --> 0:13:30.600 wanted to do it because Houston's has adopted town and 0:13:30.640 --> 0:13:31.600 he's pumped. 0:13:31.800 --> 0:13:32.000 Yah. 0:13:32.040 --> 0:13:35.840 I'm sure y'all saw those videos his workout guru put 0:13:35.840 --> 0:13:38.840 out about him all through the offs, through the time off, 0:13:39.160 --> 0:13:42.920 he ain't taking time off and doing working and doing 0:13:42.960 --> 0:13:46.240 the ropes. He was working his tail off. He's the 0:13:46.280 --> 0:13:49.400 only receiver they got who's capable of scoring every time 0:13:49.440 --> 0:13:51.920 he touches the ball, and I just want to see 0:13:51.960 --> 0:13:55.079 him get his hands on the ball because with his quickness, 0:13:55.160 --> 0:13:58.320 his speed, you know his size. They listed him five 0:13:58.320 --> 0:14:01.120 to ten, he's five eight. He didn't he didn't grow 0:14:01.160 --> 0:14:02.920 two inches since the combine. 0:14:03.160 --> 0:14:07.360 But he's so quick. He reminds me of like a nat. 0:14:08.920 --> 0:14:11.280 In a good way. General who's gonna lead the team 0:14:11.320 --> 0:14:12.439 in receptions? 0:14:12.840 --> 0:14:15.640 I think Robert Woods, well, a lot of people think 0:14:15.720 --> 0:14:16.559 Dalton Schultz. 0:14:16.600 --> 0:14:19.920 I just think that Woods will have a. 0:14:19.840 --> 0:14:23.240 Connection off the field that he's been working on since 0:14:23.240 --> 0:14:27.160 Stroud got here, that Stroud's gonna feel really comfortable with 0:14:27.240 --> 0:14:33.520 him and knows that in clutch situations, Tinkdale, John Maggie, 0:14:34.360 --> 0:14:36.800 Xavier Hutchinson, they may not be in the right spot. 0:14:37.360 --> 0:14:39.880 You know, they don't have a lot of experience. He'll know, 0:14:40.080 --> 0:14:43.400 Robert Woods, if he's supposed to be ten yard out, 0:14:43.440 --> 0:14:45.800 he'll be a ten yard out, not a nine and 0:14:45.800 --> 0:14:48.120 a half or ten and a half. If he's supposed 0:14:48.120 --> 0:14:52.120 to cut right, he'll cut right, not left. And I 0:14:52.120 --> 0:14:54.600 remember Warren Moon used to say with the Oilers, he 0:14:54.640 --> 0:14:58.880 had so many receivers that would they might run it 0:14:58.960 --> 0:15:01.480 right and they might not. So he always knew Drew 0:15:01.600 --> 0:15:03.960 Hill was going to do it exactly right. And I 0:15:04.080 --> 0:15:06.520 remember I think about that with Robert Woods second year 0:15:06.600 --> 0:15:10.760 removed from that torn ECL just turned thirty one. I'm 0:15:10.760 --> 0:15:13.680 really fired up about him because I heard such great 0:15:13.720 --> 0:15:16.600 things about him from the Rams and then the Titans 0:15:16.680 --> 0:15:19.280 last year, even though he was coming off that torn 0:15:19.320 --> 0:15:23.160 ACL and came back before six months. I think the 0:15:23.160 --> 0:15:25.680 Texans is going to see the best that he's got 0:15:25.680 --> 0:15:26.040 to give. 0:15:26.720 --> 0:15:29.480 General the quarterbacks, the three of them, I said, case 0:15:29.520 --> 0:15:31.680 Keenum has kind of gone into gunslinger mode. We've seen 0:15:31.720 --> 0:15:35.360 good and bad from Davis and from CJ. How what 0:15:35.360 --> 0:15:37.080 do you make of the three quarterbacks and how they've 0:15:37.080 --> 0:15:40.600 looked thus far seemingly because there's no pads on, can't 0:15:40.600 --> 0:15:42.680 we talk about the big guys. Let's talk about the quarterbacks. 0:15:42.920 --> 0:15:45.840 The I mean, we all know Straud's going to be 0:15:45.880 --> 0:15:50.560 the starter, and yesterday was the first time when we've 0:15:50.680 --> 0:15:54.960 asked Amiko about him and we've not brought up He's 0:15:55.040 --> 0:15:57.640 not gone into the other quarterbacks. I told him when 0:15:57.680 --> 0:15:59.800 he came in here. We got Stroud coming when he 0:15:59.840 --> 0:16:02.880 did ask you about Strout, so we asked him about Stroud. 0:16:02.920 --> 0:16:05.840 He's really good talking about him. He's been talking about 0:16:05.840 --> 0:16:09.600 will Anderson all the time like that, but Stroud he's 0:16:09.640 --> 0:16:14.120 been careful. They want Stroud to separate themselves from Mills, 0:16:14.560 --> 0:16:18.160 and he's getting there. And so Dimiko, what he said 0:16:18.200 --> 0:16:21.120 about him was impressive in every way. 0:16:21.760 --> 0:16:24.440 And Stroud missed. Everybody miss his passes. 0:16:24.880 --> 0:16:26.840 I see a lot of time look at I look 0:16:26.880 --> 0:16:29.920 around the league, and if some quarterback highly rated has 0:16:29.960 --> 0:16:32.080 a bad throw, the media acts like he's not gonna 0:16:32.080 --> 0:16:34.200 be any good. You know, all of them are gonna 0:16:34.240 --> 0:16:37.880 have bad throws, and they don't care. They want what 0:16:38.040 --> 0:16:42.560 they want to see. Draw Johnson, then Bobby Sloweg and 0:16:42.640 --> 0:16:44.440 to Miko's what does he do on the next one? 0:16:44.880 --> 0:16:46.080 How does he bounce. 0:16:45.880 --> 0:16:49.240 Back from an interception? And there's nothing not to like 0:16:49.320 --> 0:16:53.040 about Stroud. He was so impressive at the podium yesterday. 0:16:53.120 --> 0:16:56.600 I watched him while he was waiting going around to families. 0:16:57.000 --> 0:17:01.120 I was told that a team function weks ago that 0:17:01.280 --> 0:17:06.160 he made it went around every table where there were 0:17:06.200 --> 0:17:09.720 players and families and introduced themselves to the kids talk 0:17:09.800 --> 0:17:12.159 to them. That's one of the ways you build up 0:17:12.240 --> 0:17:14.040 leadership behind the scenes. 0:17:14.640 --> 0:17:16.840 Well, we're all eager to see how it all plays 0:17:16.880 --> 0:17:19.200 out here, but as I watch this camp, we talked 0:17:19.200 --> 0:17:21.600 to Eric Murray about it. We'll hear that conversation later. 0:17:22.119 --> 0:17:24.000 And we asked them about all the eleven on eleven 0:17:24.040 --> 0:17:26.360 work and very few seven on sevens. I think there's 0:17:26.359 --> 0:17:28.840 maybe even one. I get four days of practice. I 0:17:28.920 --> 0:17:32.359 can't keep tracking at all. But he said, you don't 0:17:32.359 --> 0:17:34.520 get any better at football unless you're playing football. So 0:17:34.560 --> 0:17:36.760 that's what they're trying to do. Play football and shot 0:17:36.760 --> 0:17:38.560 of seth. We're talking about it this morning as well 0:17:38.600 --> 0:17:39.480 pocket collapsing. 0:17:39.520 --> 0:17:40.960 They want to make things uncomfortable. 0:17:41.119 --> 0:17:43.520 What are your thoughts on that is they try to 0:17:43.640 --> 0:17:46.640 simulate real game time conditions as much as they can. 0:17:46.720 --> 0:17:49.600 You got two new coaches who are gonna call plays 0:17:49.640 --> 0:17:53.639 Bobby Slowing to mak O Ryans. They've installed their systems, 0:17:54.080 --> 0:17:57.920 so you're not gonna you're not gonna see what everybody 0:17:57.960 --> 0:17:58.280 can do. 0:17:58.320 --> 0:17:59.920 When you're doing seven on seven. 0:18:00.119 --> 0:18:02.760 You need to do full teams on both sides of 0:18:02.800 --> 0:18:05.800 the ball. You've got to see who's making the mental mistakes. 0:18:06.080 --> 0:18:08.479 You know, every player can't be coached the same. Bobby 0:18:08.480 --> 0:18:12.840 slok knows that something that we're going to interview to 0:18:13.000 --> 0:18:16.879 coordinators tomorrow. I believe I can't wait to ask Slowy 0:18:16.880 --> 0:18:19.040 it because I've seen this in all my years covering 0:18:19.040 --> 0:18:21.879 the NFL. A lot of first time coordinators want to 0:18:21.920 --> 0:18:24.639 make it too complicated. They want to come in and 0:18:25.040 --> 0:18:28.720 show everybody, man, I'm really smart. They made the key 0:18:28.800 --> 0:18:31.520 is you can have a ten inch stick playbook with 0:18:31.560 --> 0:18:34.480 The key is to reduce it to you know, each 0:18:34.600 --> 0:18:38.280 player can do what's required of him. And I'm assuming 0:18:38.320 --> 0:18:41.600 Bobby's around Kyle Shaney long enough nine years that he 0:18:41.680 --> 0:18:44.720 knows that Kyle's got a complicated system and we're not 0:18:44.800 --> 0:18:46.720 going to know. But it's not going to be the 0:18:46.760 --> 0:18:50.160 same system. You know, Bobby Sloan's been thinking, now if 0:18:50.240 --> 0:18:52.560 I if I get to call plays, I'm going to 0:18:52.640 --> 0:18:55.240 do this with that with that position, I'm going to 0:18:55.320 --> 0:18:57.959 do that. And so we're not going to know unless 0:18:58.000 --> 0:19:00.199 you watch all the forty nine ers and now you 0:19:00.240 --> 0:19:04.600 watch taxsons. But even Striud mitched yesterday his nuances Slow 0:19:04.600 --> 0:19:06.800 it's nuances. 0:19:05.880 --> 0:19:06.960 That he's putting in there. 0:19:07.480 --> 0:19:09.919 So I think that's one reason we see that so 0:19:10.080 --> 0:19:12.240 much is they got to look at the whole picture. 0:19:12.240 --> 0:19:14.760 And that's why those joint practices are going to be 0:19:14.880 --> 0:19:17.880 so good for the coaches. You know, Matt burg knew 0:19:17.960 --> 0:19:21.320
