Speaker 1: What's up, everybody. Welcome into a new week of Texans
Speaker 1: All Access, a Monday edition from the UNDA Texans Radio studio.
Speaker 1: John and Mark with you. Mark. Another day of practice,
Speaker 1: a sweltering one out the Houston Methis Training Center. But
Speaker 1: we got through it. Now we got Texans All Access.
Speaker 2: How you doing, Yeah, I'm doing great, Johnny eleven on
Speaker 2: eleven stuff today in full pads was fun to watch.
Speaker 2: It was tough for the offense to get stuff going.
Speaker 2: I like the physical play. I think it was more
Speaker 2: of what we've seen in that we're seeing the defense
Speaker 2: make a lot of plays here, making their presence felt.
Speaker 2: We talk about the talent level on that side of
Speaker 2: the ball all the time, not that there's not talent
Speaker 2: on the offensive side of the ball, but defense still
Speaker 2: ahead of the offense as far as I can see
Speaker 2: it right now, and we're still waiting for that electrifying
Speaker 2: offensive practice. We've seen some lightning bolts, but I'm waiting
Speaker 2: for the storm.
Speaker 1: There have been a couple times, You're right, lightning bolts
Speaker 1: for sure, all right. In hockey, they do this thing
Speaker 1: called three Stars. After a win, they give out three
Speaker 1: star three stars of the game, like one two three, two, one,
Speaker 1: and they they come and they skate out, and third
Speaker 1: star is Marcell Dion and he comes out here. You
Speaker 1: second star, you know, Jacques LaPlante.
Speaker 3: Hey, you know.
Speaker 1: Then it's Wayne Gretzky starting number one. So that's what
Speaker 1: we're gonna do. Three stars that we've seen through the
Speaker 1: first five days of practice. And I don't care who
Speaker 1: you pick.
Speaker 3: I don't care.
Speaker 1: You could pick Cam Johnson because Cam has been hitting
Speaker 1: some tags, so you could pick Cam Johnston. But we're
Speaker 1: each picking three stars from the first five days of practice. Okay,
Speaker 1: you want to go first or second, I'll go first. Okay,
Speaker 1: go ahead, Okay, I'll go defense. I'll go linebacker. And
Speaker 1: you know where I'm going with this one.
Speaker 2: Dude, Blake Cashman, Yes, Blake Cashman, the former New York
Speaker 2: Jet had injury problems there, came over here last year.
Speaker 2: I think it was backed up a little last year
Speaker 2: as well at the beginning, but he got in there
Speaker 2: and he made his reence felt.
Speaker 1: And he's one of those linebackers.
Speaker 2: Look, we haven't done our full No one's talking about
Speaker 2: this guy Guy and impossible not to ignore Guy Guy
Speaker 2: Awards in the morning, and we will get to that.
Speaker 2: I'm sure because we're still relatively early in these training
Speaker 2: camp morning shows.
Speaker 1: Actually, how early are we? We're four in.
Speaker 2: We're almost halfway through, my goodness, but Blake Cashman had
Speaker 2: to pick on Sunday, how to pick on Monday, how
Speaker 2: to knock down on Sunday. The guy is making all
Speaker 2: sorts of plays. I feel like he's got a really
Speaker 2: great grasp of this, so in practice it's not easy
Speaker 2: for him, but he's making plays. He's finding ways to
Speaker 2: make plays. And the linebacking corps is pretty thick here,
Speaker 2: particularly since you're only gonna play two guys for seventy
Speaker 2: eighty percent of the time because you're a nickel all
Speaker 2: the time. Blake Cashman is going to make it a
Speaker 2: really tough cut. I think he makes this team, but
Speaker 2: that means names, you know, have got to go. So
Speaker 2: I don't know how it's all gonna shake out, but
Speaker 2: that's my first start.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm with you, you know what, I'm gonna follow
Speaker 1: you up with a linebacker. And I didn't get a
Speaker 1: chance to watch him completely today in pads, but I
Speaker 1: did see him pop a couple times, and that tells
Speaker 1: me something. And he's running with the ones too, which
Speaker 1: is pretty impressive. Henry Toatoa. There's a play today Monday
Speaker 1: toss play Damian Pierce to the right side right. I
Speaker 1: can't remember what kind of concept it was. I don't
Speaker 1: know if his pin and pull or outside zone like,
Speaker 1: I don't know, but there's all kinds of chaos. And
Speaker 1: so he's at the mic backer, so he's right over
Speaker 1: the center and this play hits wide to the right,
Speaker 1: to his left, and I'm telling you, he somehow. I
Speaker 1: saw this up on the I saw it live. I'm like,
Speaker 1: Totoa tagged off on him, sent to tackling. Where did
Speaker 1: he come from? Like, wait, he's at mike backer right now.
Speaker 1: So I look up on the video board and I
Speaker 1: watched the play again. I'm like, holy cow, he just
Speaker 1: hell bent, just straight lined it through all the chaos
Speaker 1: somehow didn't hit anybody found. It was like it was
Speaker 1: like a path just opened up and he's followed it
Speaker 1: and banged right at the end of that path was
Speaker 1: Damian Pierce the football and he tagged off on him,
Speaker 1: and I thought, whoa, that was impressive. And he's done
Speaker 1: that a number of times where the speed gets there,
Speaker 1: he gets guys lined up I'm going Henry toto. I'm
Speaker 1: going to another rookie a little bit later, unless you
Speaker 1: steal him, which you can, but I'm not telling you
Speaker 1: who it is. But Henry TOTOA has been all kinds
Speaker 1: of impressive. I don't know what this means, whether he starts,
Speaker 1: whether he's just special teams, whatever, but I'll tell you this,
Speaker 1: he's making an impact on his team this year in
Speaker 1: some way, shape or form.
Speaker 2: All Right, I'm gonna go next, going to the offensive side.
Speaker 2: We can bounce around here, okay, And I'm gonna go
Speaker 2: with a familiar name.
Speaker 1: But bear with me.
Speaker 2: Damian Pierce, all right, And I know, oh the running
Speaker 2: the running lanes haven't been there all the time without pads,
Speaker 2: with pads, it's Damian Pierce.
Speaker 1: He's gonna get his just.
Speaker 2: Waight lights go on, slight sliver of daylight type hole.
Speaker 2: He runs through it and creates a bigger one and
Speaker 2: makes an impression on the defender whoever decides to meet him.
Speaker 2: The angry run specialist, Damian Pierce. But I bring him
Speaker 2: up because I got a feeling in this offense they're
Speaker 2: gonna be throwing him the ball. And I'm not saying
Speaker 2: ten times a game, Johnny. But it's gonna come in handy,
Speaker 2: especially if you're playing a young quarterback. If you know
Speaker 2: what I mean, You're gonna swing it out to Pierce.
Speaker 2: He is gonna make plays in space. I know they
Speaker 2: are making well. They haven't told me, but I can
Speaker 2: see it with my own eyes, a concerted effort to
Speaker 2: get him the ball in the passing game. Get them
Speaker 2: the ball so we can match up on safeties and
Speaker 2: whoever else might try to cover him on the edge
Speaker 2: and just make Hey that way instead of having to
Speaker 2: pound his body between the tackles all the time like
Speaker 2: he did last year. This is gonna be fun to
Speaker 2: watch Damian Pierce through the air.
Speaker 1: Okay, you want the class of twenty twenty two.
Speaker 4: I like that.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with that same class, and I'm going
Speaker 1: with former second round. I'm gonna go Jalen Petrie. I
Speaker 1: think he's playing football now at a level he didn't
Speaker 1: even approach his rookie I know it's training camp. I
Speaker 1: get it. That's kind of the point we're picking our
Speaker 1: three stars of training camp. He is around the football
Speaker 1: all the time. There's no better way to put it.
Speaker 1: He reads it, he sees it he goes today. There's
Speaker 1: so many plays today. And by the way, first day
Speaker 1: in pads, he's miked up. So we'll have the micd
Speaker 1: up for you, Houston Texas dot Com. I don't know,
Speaker 1: I know our guys in the in the in the
Speaker 1: video department will put that together. SuDS and the guys
Speaker 1: up there will have something great. So it may not
Speaker 1: be today, but just be on the lookout for it.
Speaker 1: Jalen Petrie micdup is gonna be awesome. It's just because
Speaker 1: it's Jalen. But they ran zone read. It's the first
Speaker 1: time I've seen the offense run a true zone read
Speaker 1: and CJ kept it. They're down on the goal line
Speaker 1: and CJ kept it the first time I've seen it
Speaker 1: five days, the first time I've seen them run zone read.
Speaker 1: And the defense is pretty much fooled except for one guy.
Speaker 1: He Jalen Petrie is right there. He watches and I
Speaker 1: Stroud the whole way locks in and as CJ starts
Speaker 1: to run, Jalen is literally tagging off on his hip
Speaker 1: two yards deep in the backfield. I just I'm floored.
Speaker 1: But he has made every play you could possibly make.
Speaker 1: He is so in command of his game. He has
Speaker 1: become a leader. I think the guys love him. I
Speaker 1: thought it was interesting being in Dallas for Big twelve
Speaker 1: media days and I've known this, but to actually see
Speaker 1: it in play. When I mentioned I was with the Texans, Oh,
Speaker 1: how's Jalen?
Speaker 5: Like?
Speaker 1: The love Baylor people had for Jalen was unbelievable. And
Speaker 1: when I asked, you know, I just go there and
Speaker 1: I'm just trying to give whatever interviews I can. I
Speaker 1: know Dan Holgerson, so it's easy enough to get an
Speaker 1: interview with him. I don't know David Andertll. I've never
Speaker 1: met him, but I went to the Baylor sid and
Speaker 1: I met him at pro day and I just asked him.
Speaker 1: I said, is there any way that I could get
Speaker 1: couch youran to talk about Jalen Petrie. Absolutely, I'll make
Speaker 1: it happen like it was Jalen Petrie. It wasn't just
Speaker 1: to talk. He was getting get him to talk about
Speaker 1: Jayen Petrie. And I asked coach one question. He gave
Speaker 1: me five minutes, I mean, and we talked afterwards. He
Speaker 1: is playing at a level right now that I don't
Speaker 1: remember even seeing play as a rookie. You know it
Speaker 1: means a rookie. There's so many things going on. I
Speaker 1: just can't wait to see what he and Jimmy Ward
Speaker 1: are doing together. But I'm gonna go Jayalen Petrie all right,
Speaker 1: my third guy.
Speaker 2: Okay, Look, we've all heard about Tank Dell, and for
Speaker 2: good reason. Tank looks really good out there. We talked
Speaker 2: about his professionalism this morning.
Speaker 1: Yep. But I'm gonna point to another rookie here. Oh,
Speaker 1: you're stealing my guy. Sorry, that's okay.
Speaker 2: Xavier Hutchinson has been impossible to ignore. This player has
Speaker 2: made lots of plays in camp so far. I'm talking
Speaker 2: deep balls, I'm talking nice patterns. This is a player
Speaker 2: who caught one hundred and seven passes last year. He
Speaker 2: averaged almost ten catches per game, and it wasn't like
Speaker 2: it was all short stuff. He is a player and
Speaker 2: he's gonna be one in this league. I don't know
Speaker 2: how he fits in how many I can't make all
Speaker 2: those predictions, but it's a no brainer that he survives
Speaker 2: the cut, that he's on the squad, and we'll see
Speaker 2: how he fits in ultimately. I love that he and
Speaker 2: Tank are two and three in the NCAA last year.
Speaker 2: In receptions and you have these really productive guys on
Speaker 2: your team and they're showing why this is.
Speaker 1: Football to him.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a tougher level of football, there's no doubt
Speaker 2: it's a pro level. But he's out there playing football,
Speaker 2: Johnny and learning this offense and running crisp, precise routes,
Speaker 2: good hands.
Speaker 1: I love Xavier Hutchinson. Show me more Sunday one on ones.
Speaker 1: Deep ball touchdown today, Mills route, which is one of
Speaker 1: my favorite routes. And it's not named Mills because of
Speaker 1: Davis Mills. It's named Mills because it was Ernie Mills
Speaker 1: back at Florida that ran it Florida who started this
Speaker 1: with spurry or you gotta dig with a post and
Speaker 1: if they're in cover three, if the safety bites to dig,
Speaker 1: throw the post. He stayed with the post. Throw a dig.
Speaker 1: It's perfect right against cover three and Xavier're wide open. Touchdown.
Speaker 1: Now he would not have had that touchdown if we're
Speaker 1: playing real football because my star number three. Now this
Speaker 1: seems easy, but if I'm being true to it, stars
Speaker 1: in camp, we've got to mention Will Anderson Jr. Have
Speaker 1: to he.
Speaker 5: Mark.
Speaker 1: I don't even know how to say this other than
Speaker 1: those people that were arguing, who's bad value has to
Speaker 1: the draft? You gave him ask you're talking in theory
Speaker 1: about assets and liabilities and things. We're talking about a
Speaker 1: dude that's going to impact this football team. It already
Speaker 1: he already has. But from the time he sets foot
Speaker 1: on the field wearing number fifty one jersey in a
Speaker 1: game going forward, he will leave an impact on this
Speaker 1: team everything that he does. We have not had a
Speaker 1: dynamic defender like him in a long time. A long time,
Speaker 1: let's just say that, a long time. It has been
Speaker 1: a while since we've had a guy like this. And
Speaker 1: on that throw to Hutchinson, will beat the tackle so
Speaker 1: badly he basically bulled him off the line, shocked him
Speaker 1: and then immediately just yanked him to the ground, ripped
Speaker 1: through it and got around him and was tagging off
Speaker 1: on a quarterback. I think it was Davis tagging off
Speaker 1: on the quarterback, and the quarterback still took two shuffle
Speaker 1: steps to throw the bout to Hutchinson. It would have
Speaker 1: been a definite sack. But his power, his explosiveness, whether
Speaker 1: he's playing inside, whether he's playing outside, he has just
Speaker 1: been all that in the bag of chips again it's
Speaker 1: training camp. But I don't know that I've seen a
Speaker 1: guy impact from day one, like where I've just looked back.
Speaker 1: Whoa wow, I don't think I've ever do I not here?
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean even like if you go back
Speaker 1: to JJ in twenty eleven, like you could see JJ
Speaker 1: could play, but he didn't see that impact. You didn't
Speaker 1: see the yes this early.
Speaker 2: I mean you saw some yeah, but what you saw
Speaker 2: in training camp with Watt, as I recall, was him
Speaker 2: batting down everything he's able to get all the right
Speaker 2: all those batdowns right, great ball sense, ball skills, all that,
Speaker 2: and it was very notable. But the pass rush stuff
Speaker 2: came along as we got to the postseason at twenty eleven.
Speaker 2: And what did you say about Will Anderson and Monday
Speaker 2: Morning Show? You said, this is a big day for
Speaker 2: Will in pads. We'll see what he does. Well, you
Speaker 2: saw what he did.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we saw what he did and it was it
Speaker 1: was pretty darn impressive, no doubt, also impressive. The General
Speaker 1: JOm McClain, what did you have to say this morning?
Speaker 1: We asked him about all things going on with the
Speaker 1: Texans and the NFL.
Speaker 2: We've been here for all the coaches. Of course, some
Speaker 2: coaches say a little bit less about rookies. Tamiko Ryans,
Speaker 2: He'll talk about anybody you know behind closed doors.
Speaker 1: He's coaching them hard. He's got Bran.
Speaker 5: Wouldn't acknowledge a rookie, Yeah, he use the drop Ben rookies,
Speaker 5: No nothing, And if you ask him about a player,
Speaker 5: you talk about a position.
Speaker 1: Yep.
Speaker 5: I'm doing a column on Tank and I got a
Speaker 5: call him up right now CJ. Stroudsports Radio six ten
Speaker 5: dot com, and I can't wait to get Tank out there.
Speaker 5: I think we've been requesting him a long time. They're
Speaker 5: worried about what he's going to say because he's pretty outspoken.
Speaker 5: He's funny, he's honest, and I love it. I did
Speaker 5: a column on him for Gallery Sports when we were
Speaker 5: at the Combat and about how much he wanted to
Speaker 5: be drafted.
Speaker 3: By the Texans, and I said, well.
Speaker 5: You know, the odds are against that, but he really
Speaker 5: wanted to do it because Houston's has adopted town and
Speaker 5: he's pumped.
Speaker 3: Yah.
Speaker 5: I'm sure y'all saw those videos his workout guru put
Speaker 5: out about him all through the offs, through the time off,
Speaker 5: he ain't taking time off and doing working and doing
Speaker 5: the ropes. He was working his tail off. He's the
Speaker 5: only receiver they got who's capable of scoring every time
Speaker 5: he touches the ball, and I just want to see
Speaker 5: him get his hands on the ball because with his quickness,
Speaker 5: his speed, you know his size. They listed him five
Speaker 5: to ten, he's five eight. He didn't he didn't grow
Speaker 5: two inches since the combine.
Speaker 3: But he's so quick. He reminds me of like a nat.
Speaker 1: In a good way. General who's gonna lead the team
Speaker 1: in receptions?
Speaker 5: I think Robert Woods, well, a lot of people think
Speaker 5: Dalton Schultz.
Speaker 3: I just think that Woods will have a.
Speaker 5: Connection off the field that he's been working on since
Speaker 5: Stroud got here, that Stroud's gonna feel really comfortable with
Speaker 5: him and knows that in clutch situations, Tinkdale, John Maggie,
Speaker 5: Xavier Hutchinson, they may not be in the right spot.
Speaker 5: You know, they don't have a lot of experience. He'll know,
Speaker 5: Robert Woods, if he's supposed to be ten yard out,
Speaker 5: he'll be a ten yard out, not a nine and
Speaker 5: a half or ten and a half. If he's supposed
Speaker 5: to cut right, he'll cut right, not left. And I
Speaker 5: remember Warren Moon used to say with the Oilers, he
Speaker 5: had so many receivers that would they might run it
Speaker 5: right and they might not. So he always knew Drew
Speaker 5: Hill was going to do it exactly right. And I
Speaker 5: remember I think about that with Robert Woods second year
Speaker 5: removed from that torn ECL just turned thirty one. I'm
Speaker 5: really fired up about him because I heard such great
Speaker 5: things about him from the Rams and then the Titans
Speaker 5: last year, even though he was coming off that torn
Speaker 5: ACL and came back before six months. I think the
Speaker 5: Texans is going to see the best that he's got
Speaker 5: to give.
Speaker 1: General the quarterbacks, the three of them, I said, case
Speaker 1: Keenum has kind of gone into gunslinger mode. We've seen
Speaker 1: good and bad from Davis and from CJ. How what
Speaker 1: do you make of the three quarterbacks and how they've
Speaker 1: looked thus far seemingly because there's no pads on, can't
Speaker 1: we talk about the big guys. Let's talk about the quarterbacks.
Speaker 5: The I mean, we all know Straud's going to be
Speaker 5: the starter, and yesterday was the first time when we've
Speaker 5: asked Amiko about him and we've not brought up He's
Speaker 5: not gone into the other quarterbacks. I told him when
Speaker 5: he came in here. We got Stroud coming when he
Speaker 5: did ask you about Strout, so we asked him about Stroud.
Speaker 5: He's really good talking about him. He's been talking about
Speaker 5: will Anderson all the time like that, but Stroud he's
Speaker 5: been careful. They want Stroud to separate themselves from Mills,
Speaker 5: and he's getting there. And so Dimiko, what he said
Speaker 5: about him was impressive in every way.
Speaker 3: And Stroud missed. Everybody miss his passes.
Speaker 5: I see a lot of time look at I look
Speaker 5: around the league, and if some quarterback highly rated has
Speaker 5: a bad throw, the media acts like he's not gonna
Speaker 5: be any good. You know, all of them are gonna
Speaker 5: have bad throws, and they don't care. They want what
Speaker 5: they want to see. Draw Johnson, then Bobby Sloweg and
Speaker 5: to Miko's what does he do on the next one?
Speaker 3: How does he bounce.
Speaker 5: Back from an interception? And there's nothing not to like
Speaker 5: about Stroud. He was so impressive at the podium yesterday.
Speaker 5: I watched him while he was waiting going around to families.
Speaker 5: I was told that a team function weks ago that
Speaker 5: he made it went around every table where there were
Speaker 5: players and families and introduced themselves to the kids talk
Speaker 5: to them. That's one of the ways you build up
Speaker 5: leadership behind the scenes.
Speaker 2: Well, we're all eager to see how it all plays
Speaker 2: out here, but as I watch this camp, we talked
Speaker 2: to Eric Murray about it. We'll hear that conversation later.
Speaker 2: And we asked them about all the eleven on eleven
Speaker 2: work and very few seven on sevens. I think there's
Speaker 2: maybe even one. I get four days of practice. I
Speaker 2: can't keep tracking at all. But he said, you don't
Speaker 2: get any better at football unless you're playing football. So
Speaker 2: that's what they're trying to do. Play football and shot
Speaker 2: of seth. We're talking about it this morning as well
Speaker 2: pocket collapsing.
Speaker 1: They want to make things uncomfortable.
Speaker 2: What are your thoughts on that is they try to
Speaker 2: simulate real game time conditions as much as they can.
Speaker 5: You got two new coaches who are gonna call plays
Speaker 5: Bobby Slowing to mak O Ryans. They've installed their systems,
Speaker 5: so you're not gonna you're not gonna see what everybody
Speaker 5: can do.
Speaker 3: When you're doing seven on seven.
Speaker 5: You need to do full teams on both sides of
Speaker 5: the ball. You've got to see who's making the mental mistakes.
Speaker 5: You know, every player can't be coached the same. Bobby
Speaker 5: slok knows that something that we're going to interview to
Speaker 5: coordinators tomorrow. I believe I can't wait to ask Slowy
Speaker 5: it because I've seen this in all my years covering
Speaker 5: the NFL. A lot of first time coordinators want to
Speaker 5: make it too complicated. They want to come in and
Speaker 5: show everybody, man, I'm really smart. They made the key
Speaker 5: is you can have a ten inch stick playbook with
Speaker 5: The key is to reduce it to you know, each
Speaker 5: player can do what's required of him. And I'm assuming
Speaker 5: Bobby's around Kyle Shaney long enough nine years that he
Speaker 5: knows that Kyle's got a complicated system and we're not
Speaker 5: going to know. But it's not going to be the
Speaker 5: same system. You know, Bobby Sloan's been thinking, now if
Speaker 5: I if I get to call plays, I'm going to
Speaker 5: do this with that with that position, I'm going to
Speaker 5: do that. And so we're not going to know unless
Speaker 5: you watch all the forty nine ers and now you
Speaker 5: watch taxsons. But even Striud mitched yesterday his nuances Slow
Speaker 5: it's nuances.
Speaker 3: That he's putting in there.
Speaker 5: So I think that's one reason we see that so
Speaker 5: much is they got to look at the whole picture.
Speaker 5: And that's why those joint practices are going to be
Speaker 5: so good for the coaches. You know, Matt burg knew
Speaker 5: coming in here. Demiko's gonna call the defenses. Dimiko did
Speaker 5: a great job the last two years. Why would he
Speaker 5: not do it? Eventually he may turned over to Matt.
Speaker 5: Matt fixing the game plan. He doesn't mind telling Dimko
Speaker 5: something he thinks or if he disagrees to, Miko can
Speaker 5: handle it. That's the point of being a good coach.
Speaker 5: So uh, it makes it better out here to watch them.
Speaker 1: In eleven and eleven, Week two, Texans play here home
Speaker 1: opener against the Inneapolis Colts. General will Jonathan Taylor be
Speaker 1: wearing number twenty eight for the Colts in that football game?
Speaker 5: Well, they got a really ugly situation there and that's
Speaker 5: too bad, right, and you feel coming off is worse.
Speaker 5: And it's last year of his contract, was his second
Speaker 5: round pick. He wants an extension. They know they get
Speaker 5: franchise him for two more years, so he has no leverage.
Speaker 5: There's thing about putting him a non football injury because
Speaker 5: they say he told him he had a back injury,
Speaker 5: he said. He never said that one of the things
Speaker 5: you worry about. They're not going to trade him. Who's
Speaker 5: gonna give him sixteen million a year?
Speaker 3: Nobody?
Speaker 5: So he better stay there, play his tail off half
Speaker 5: a kind of year he had two years ago. He's
Speaker 5: still not going anywhere. Then they're going to franchise him.
Speaker 5: It's it's a tough situation. But once you figure it
Speaker 5: out and your agent tells you you got no leverage
Speaker 5: if you set out. He's on his rookie contract, so
Speaker 5: he can't be find fifty thousand a day like a
Speaker 5: veteran like to say.
Speaker 3: Nick Bo says, and he.
Speaker 5: Can't forgive Remember when Dwayne Brown missed all those checks
Speaker 5: and can't he lose like two to four million dollars selling.
Speaker 2: And even though he got paid by the Seahawks next year,
Speaker 2: but I don't think he ever.
Speaker 1: Made back that either would be better off just sticking it.
Speaker 3: Out and he stayed here.
Speaker 5: Then Rick Smith would give him an extension with one
Speaker 5: year left, which was his philosophy.
Speaker 1: I would have changed the course of franchise history.
Speaker 5: They would have been so I don't it's easy for
Speaker 5: guys to talk. Now, let's see you as the footballs
Speaker 5: to miss regular season games when you're missing your game
Speaker 5: checks and he's on a rookie contract. Anyway, key is
Speaker 5: can he be healthy? Yeah, so answer your question, I
Speaker 5: must say yes, Okay.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree. He'll be out there too. He's got
Speaker 2: to be out there. I was texting with some Indianapolis
Speaker 2: people this morning and they were like, Yep, there's no
Speaker 2: shortage of drama.
Speaker 5: Jim Mersey didn't help at all. You know, Jim shouldn't
Speaker 5: be just shouldn't be texting. He shouldn't be talking to
Speaker 5: media constantly. It's great for the media. But that quote
Speaker 5: he had where if he and Taylor died the next day,
Speaker 5: oh canfl wouldn't change. It's still by the same. You know,
Speaker 5: what's he thinking on stuff like that? And Chris Ballard,
Speaker 5: who's been very positive about every kind of drama they
Speaker 5: have there, all of a sudden he's talking about it
Speaker 5: makes me think Erses talked to Ballard and say, look,
Speaker 5: this is the message we want to put out, and.
Speaker 1: It's not good.
Speaker 3: He should be praising the heck out of him every day.
Speaker 2: If I made you tzar of the NFL, you could
Speaker 2: change even the CBA.
Speaker 1: What would you do for the running backs or about
Speaker 1: the running backs?
Speaker 3: Do you know anything about the running backs? Why should
Speaker 3: they do something for the running backs?
Speaker 5: You know, you'd like to see quarterbacks make, not make
Speaker 5: fifty million a year, you know, that's that's one thing. Eventually,
Speaker 5: will quarterbacks who get that kind of money not play
Speaker 5: well enough to earn it? And then they'll think twice
Speaker 5: about it? Problem is a franchise tags for quarterbacks are astronomical, right,
Speaker 5: and so I don't ever see anything being done for.
Speaker 3: A specific position. But I don't blame running backs.
Speaker 5: When you see a tidi end who's barely beat it
Speaker 5: better in mediocre getting more.
Speaker 2: Than I wish, they would reduce the compensation needed to
Speaker 2: obtain a franchise tagged player.
Speaker 1: Match it to the salary. Yeah, that's it, to the salary.
Speaker 3: Let them be.
Speaker 5: I'll be free agents after three years, and then if
Speaker 5: you franchise him two, that's five. They still got some
Speaker 5: years left, you know, used to I saw the other
Speaker 5: day and Ladani and Thomason ran for eighteen hundred yards
Speaker 5: in his eighth year. Now they think, and he carried
Speaker 5: the ball a whole lot more than they do today
Speaker 5: that they're freaking out If a player's going into his
Speaker 5: eight season.
Speaker 3: There's a lot of running backs who've played well.
Speaker 5: In their eighth nineteenth seasons, but now they act like
Speaker 5: they're ready for the old folk song.
Speaker 1: Well, this is what I said to Mark the other day. Well,
Speaker 1: I can't remember, I said to the marker work I
Speaker 1: was talking about it. Oh, I was up Buffalo, I
Speaker 1: was talking about That's what it was asked me. I said,
Speaker 1: learn I catch passes. If you can't catch pass then
Speaker 1: you're really no good. You're a two down player. But
Speaker 1: if you show that you can be a competent receiver
Speaker 1: and you can play on all three downs and you
Speaker 1: could be you could be out there on third down
Speaker 1: with the having played on first and second down, getting
Speaker 1: a break on the sideline and then still be effective.
Speaker 1: You can go out there and you can be a factor.
Speaker 1: There's no question about that.
Speaker 2: I haven't heard this from the coaches, but based on
Speaker 2: what you see out here, which is for the world
Speaker 2: to see, I think Damian Pierce is going to catch
Speaker 2: some passes this year and be a big factor in
Speaker 2: that part of.
Speaker 1: The game down Why not general, because.
Speaker 3: Why do you want overworking?
Speaker 1: Well, I don't want to overworkan team game.
Speaker 3: But here's the thing why you.
Speaker 2: Oh no, I love singletary, but let's just see how
Speaker 2: it all works out. Because if here's is better with
Speaker 2: the ball in his hands than anybody else, then on
Speaker 2: key third downs, I don't mind him being out there
Speaker 2: because even as a decoy, he's valuable.
Speaker 1: This is all. This is always my take about Derek
Speaker 1: Henry not being in the game on third down.
Speaker 2: You're taking away a huge weapon that the defense must
Speaker 2: be concerned about. They got to be concerned about a
Speaker 2: handoff to Derek Henry on third and six.
Speaker 1: But hold on, you don't have to hand the ball
Speaker 1: to Damian Pierce on first and second down. Yeah. Know what,
Speaker 1: You could still give him forty five plays in a game,
Speaker 1: and you could still give him twenty touches. Yeah, but
Speaker 1: you don't have to hammer him twenty touches between the
Speaker 1: I give him.
Speaker 3: The ball, throw him the ball sometimes on first down.
Speaker 5: Hope he can get because his average per catch last
Speaker 5: year was terrible.
Speaker 3: But if he could do that, it was last year.
Speaker 1: If that was last year in a different offense and
Speaker 1: with quarterback.
Speaker 5: He knows that if he can get, if he could
Speaker 5: get five yards a catch on first down, that's pretty
Speaker 5: darn good.
Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, we'll see how it can. It takes him
Speaker 1: away from all the big hits from the big lineman.
Speaker 3: You know, he also looks for contact. That's not gonna change.
Speaker 1: That's part of yeah, but it much rather him looked
Speaker 1: for contact against a two hundred pound safety than a
Speaker 1: three hundred pounds dexter Lawrence.
Speaker 3: They need to get into it.
Speaker 5: Think about when he's on the sideline, he can't get
Speaker 5: another yard out, Just go out of general.
Speaker 1: I know you were on Friday.
Speaker 2: You were on Friday afternoon with RONI Clint was every Friday,
Speaker 2: but I don't know when the Sean Payton apology was.
Speaker 1: So just give us your take on the Sean Payton
Speaker 1: in air quotes.
Speaker 5: I see all these people acting like he's a genius.
Speaker 5: It was said for a reason. It was man for
Speaker 5: Russell Wilson. Well, why not just come out and say
Speaker 5: Russell's great? I think that game the fifth game of
Speaker 5: the year. My goodness, the interest about that. I don't
Speaker 5: know what he was thinking. He's being kind of a jerk,
Speaker 5: and he's been that way before. And I bet the
Speaker 5: Jets just pound them into oblivion. Rogers will probaly throw
Speaker 5: a touchdown pass on the last play. And then after
Speaker 5: we'd run it up, they will, they will, they will
Speaker 5: rub it in. And you know, the thing is about Hacket.
Speaker 5: He never called plays in Green Bay. Matt Lafleur calls
Speaker 5: plays in Green Bay. And I hear people talking about
Speaker 5: what a great coordinator is. To be a great coordinator,
Speaker 5: don't you have to call plays?
Speaker 1: I think it could be effective in a non play
Speaker 1: calling role, for sure. Sean Payton had a lot those
Speaker 1: guys with the Saints. We saw that here in Houston.
Speaker 1: You know, I thought Tim Kelly is a good coordinator
Speaker 1: before we start calling plays. But yeah, I think John's right,
Speaker 1: you got to call plays to be considered as such,
Speaker 1: I would think across the board. So good stuff with
Speaker 1: John mcclinn. Also good stuff with Eric Murray. Will have
Speaker 1: him next right here a Texas All Access Welcome back
Speaker 1: to this Monday edition of Texans All Access from I'm
Speaker 1: Monday Texans Radio Studio. I am your host, John Harris.
Speaker 1: Glad to be with you. A reminder tomorrow morning eight
Speaker 1: to ten. Well that's smartt out Texas Training Camp live,
Speaker 1: but right out the shoot tomorrow morning, Texans head coach
Speaker 1: Tamico Ryans with me and Mark. It's gonna be awesome.
Speaker 1: Eight o'clock, right out the gate, Tomiko Ryans with me
Speaker 1: and Mark. That will be awesome. One of the guys
Speaker 1: that Demiko Ryans is helping on the defensive side of
Speaker 1: the ball is a guy who's been here since twenty
Speaker 1: twenty now its fourth year, well longest tenure Texans here,
Speaker 1: and that's Eric Murray. We've got a great time getting
Speaker 1: to know Eric over the years, and we had a
Speaker 1: great time chatting with him on Sunday after the workout.
Speaker 2: What does it mean to you to see all these
Speaker 2: fans out here? You guys get a little extra buzz
Speaker 2: from this.
Speaker 6: Definitely, we definitely get a pick me up from the
Speaker 6: fans being out here. How hot it is, so I
Speaker 6: definitely commend them from coming out and you know, braving
Speaker 6: a hot weather with us.
Speaker 4: But it's lovely.
Speaker 1: Man. A lot of.
Speaker 4: Camaraderie out here.
Speaker 1: Eric. I think about you and John Gunnard Charlie Heck
Speaker 1: a lot during these times because you guys got here
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty. Yeah, and I thought about it. I
Speaker 1: was talking to somebody earlier about the COVID practices. There's
Speaker 1: like none of this nothing. How did you guys get
Speaker 1: through that? Where did your juice come from to get
Speaker 1: you through? With no fans, nothing to kind of get
Speaker 1: you through?
Speaker 6: It was just crazy because we would come in and
Speaker 6: you really was only here for about like three hours
Speaker 6: a day, so like most of the time we were
Speaker 6: doing zoom meetings at home. You just pop in work
Speaker 6: and then you leave. So I mean, not being here
Speaker 6: as much kind of did help us get through it
Speaker 6: a lot. But I'm definitely I'm glad to be back
Speaker 6: and glad to have the atmosphere.
Speaker 2: So what are you working on as a defense here
Speaker 2: to get adjusted to this new system?
Speaker 1: How does it differ for you guys?
Speaker 6: It's way more communication. Last year we didn't have as
Speaker 6: much communication. It was kind of like plug and play.
Speaker 6: So being able to communicate with your teammates and let
Speaker 6: them know what's going on, I think it'll be a
Speaker 6: way bigger help, and it's a bigger adjustment, but it'll
Speaker 6: help us in the long run.
Speaker 1: No pads today, when the pads go on, how much
Speaker 1: talking is there amongst the dv's and wide receivers about
Speaker 1: when pads go on? Or is that not much a
Speaker 1: thing between DB's and wide receivers.
Speaker 6: It's not much a thing, but I think we work
Speaker 6: with each other every day, so it's kind of like
Speaker 6: an unspoken rule, like you know, like when certain things
Speaker 6: go on.
Speaker 4: Without the pass you like, Okay, if I had pass on,
Speaker 4: this wouldn't happen. That wouldn't happen. So yeah, it's known.
Speaker 4: It's known. We don't have to talk about it.
Speaker 1: Eric Murray joining us.
Speaker 2: Hey, you were in Kansas City when Mahomes was picked
Speaker 2: and he sat for that first year. What was all
Speaker 2: that like watching that transition take place? Alex Smith's still
Speaker 2: a very good quarterback. You guys had a good year.
Speaker 2: What was that like, Eric?
Speaker 6: It was just for him just sitting back and being
Speaker 6: able to learn. I think that really helped him mature
Speaker 6: and grow to what he is now, Like not being
Speaker 6: not having to go in there and like be the guy.
Speaker 6: I think really helped him really get a year under
Speaker 6: his belt and hit the ground running.
Speaker 1: All right, Eric, we'll make you put the scout and
Speaker 1: report hat on and go to the other side of
Speaker 1: the ball. What you see from the wide receiver? What
Speaker 1: have you seed from that group? Because you're obviously facing them,
Speaker 1: you know your room pretty well. We actually know the
Speaker 1: room pretty well too. You know, we know Mjed talk
Speaker 1: team the other day, We know Jalen and Jimmy. We
Speaker 1: know you know your room. What about the wide receivers?
Speaker 1: What do you see from the wide receivers thus far
Speaker 1: throughout camp? No pads obviously, but what have you seed
Speaker 1: from that group?
Speaker 6: A lot of shafety iness, a lot of speed. They
Speaker 6: run a different type of routes, so I think those
Speaker 6: routes cater to their skill sets more. Yeah, and it's
Speaker 6: gonna be a good year, man. I think we got
Speaker 6: some good skill players and they're gonna be able to
Speaker 6: showcase what they got.
Speaker 2: Seems to me that there's a lot more eleven on
Speaker 2: eleven in this camp than previous camps, less seven on seven,
Speaker 2: a lot of team periods.
Speaker 1: How do you see it and what do you think
Speaker 1: of it?
Speaker 6: I mean, you only get better at football by playing football,
Speaker 6: So I think that's that's a good thing, and that's
Speaker 6: a good sign and that we're going in the right direction.
Speaker 6: Play a lot of football, get better.
Speaker 1: So we've been kind of watching over here.
Speaker 5: Eric.
Speaker 1: It feels like it's just two of us. Feels like
Speaker 1: you guys spend a lot of time in your offensive defense,
Speaker 1: but in protective defense, defensive walkthroughs, going from different checks,
Speaker 1: going through all things, and it feels like there aren't
Speaker 1: many mental errors. As watching there always are that we
Speaker 1: can't see, but it just feels like to you guys
Speaker 1: who watch a lot of football, it feels like the
Speaker 1: mental errors have been very few and far between it. It
Speaker 1: feels like because you've been doing that work that that's
Speaker 1: a major part of that.
Speaker 4: You agree with that, Uh, yeah, I totally agree with that.
Speaker 6: Like I said, it goes back to the communication, and
Speaker 6: when you communicate on these specific sets, you're gonna get
Speaker 6: a specific play.
Speaker 4: So when you know exactly.
Speaker 6: What's coming from that specific say you ever, you're gonna
Speaker 6: be more well prepared to guard it. And uh, I
Speaker 6: think that's why you're, you know, seeing what you described.
Speaker 2: So Jonathan Joseph is spending camp with the team. Have
Speaker 2: you spent much time with him? Heard from him much?
Speaker 6: Yeah, he's been around with the DBS every day learning
Speaker 6: safety and corners, so he's been giving us a lot
Speaker 6: of tid bits of information and we definitely lean on
Speaker 6: him very You.
Speaker 1: Don't have you gotta I mean, Brandon Hill's in the backfield,
Speaker 1: I'm trying to think if there are any of the
Speaker 1: rookies you got back there. But what do you got
Speaker 1: the rookie? What do you got the rookies doing for
Speaker 1: you guys's vets? I mean you gotta have a little
Speaker 1: bit of that. Rookies got to get doctrinated in some way,
Speaker 1: shape or form. What you got them doing? Is it
Speaker 1: more snacks and food?
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's just it's just snacks right now. We made
Speaker 6: them go get probably about like a pound of snacks yesterday.
Speaker 6: So he set them all up real nicely for us
Speaker 6: in a in a in the meeting room. So that
Speaker 6: was his first initiation. He passed the first test.
Speaker 1: That goes a long way with the vets, does it not?
Speaker 4: Yeah, it definitely does. You don't want to you don't
Speaker 4: want to make the.
Speaker 2: Vets man, Well you've been at it for a while now, Eric,
Speaker 2: How do you get through training camp better these days
Speaker 2: than you did as a younger player?
Speaker 1: Man?
Speaker 6: When I was younger, it was go, go go. Now
Speaker 6: it's like you get older, you just got to pick
Speaker 6: your spot. I'm going right here. I can taper it
Speaker 6: down back here, but it just never really gets easier.
Speaker 6: Training camp always a grind.
Speaker 1: So training camp is always.
Speaker 5: Eric.
Speaker 1: I think back to playing, and I think back to
Speaker 1: whenever I heard training camp, I just had this like
Speaker 1: like you just have that Like it's exciting to a
Speaker 1: degree to the fans, they love it, but when yes players,
Speaker 1: it's like, we just got to get through it.
Speaker 6: Yeah, you wake up, it's another day. It's like, man,
Speaker 6: I gotta just put it on and go one more time.
Speaker 1: So with your day off, what do you guys do
Speaker 1: on your day off? Like, what do you try to
Speaker 1: get accomplished on a day at.
Speaker 6: Least some type of recovery, Like yesterday I did like
Speaker 6: some restorative yoga, some breathing exercise and stuff like that.
Speaker 6: Took a magnesium bath, and then just you know, spend
Speaker 6: time with my kids, but at least some type of
Speaker 6: recovery and then just family time after that.
Speaker 2: What is it like when you transition from playing safety
Speaker 2: to working with Frank Ross and that group, because it's
Speaker 2: almost a different sport at that point.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, at the end day, it's still football.
Speaker 6: It's still running, blocking and tackling, and that's all the
Speaker 6: part of the game. So I mean all the special
Speaker 6: teams player, that's where the real football players.
Speaker 1: That's where is he losing his voice already?
Speaker 4: Every day?
Speaker 1: I talked him in the hallway and I couldn't believe it.
Speaker 1: Mid season four pads on it. He's lost a voice already.
Speaker 4: Yeah, he really intense guy.
Speaker 1: Okay, what to go about? You mentioned a Magnesian bath.
Speaker 4: Yep, okay, if you're.
Speaker 1: Magnese, Hold up, what is a magnesium bat?
Speaker 4: So?
Speaker 6: You know we need magnesium for the body thriving for
Speaker 6: to operate correctly.
Speaker 4: So I just go get a bath, right, poor.
Speaker 6: The magnesium salts in the bath, probably about like two
Speaker 6: cups of it and just soak for about twenty thirty minutes.
Speaker 1: That helps everything back.
Speaker 6: Yeah, relax the muscles and stuff like that. A lot
Speaker 6: of people use cold therapy. I like hot therapy. You know,
Speaker 6: get a good sweagon, get the muscles pliable and keep
Speaker 6: it keep it like that?
Speaker 1: Is that? It like a new school EPSOM salt sort
Speaker 1: of thing.
Speaker 6: Is a mix of salts, but the magnesium is purely magnesium.
Speaker 1: What about the yoga? How long have you been doing that?
Speaker 4: Uh? Just sparingly.
Speaker 6: I got that mirror from Lululemon at home, so you
Speaker 6: know you could just do it.
Speaker 4: The little classes at home. I didn't just do it
Speaker 4: at home.
Speaker 1: Oh so they do the lesson on the mirrorge just
Speaker 1: do that? Yeah, how have you? How is that? How's that?
Speaker 1: How long you been doing that? How do you see that?
Speaker 1: Helping you?
Speaker 4: Just keep you more appliable the older you get.
Speaker 6: Man, It's like amongst football players you say, I've been
Speaker 6: playing eight years, nine years, man, and well, you know,
Speaker 6: the first thing that comes to them mind is like,
Speaker 6: I hope my body can hold up.
Speaker 4: You know what.
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's like the big So your mind always gonna
Speaker 6: keep learning and growing, but your body just need to
Speaker 6: be able to kind of keep a good pace.
Speaker 1: So Eric, thanks a lot for joining us.
Speaker 4: Good luck problem.
Speaker 1: Thank you there is Eric Murray. Had a good time
Speaker 1: talking with him. All Right, we got stories galore going
Speaker 1: on in the NFL, so let's go around the league next.
Speaker 1: Right here on Texans All Access. What's happened everybody walking
Speaker 1: back this Monday edition of Texans All Access from the
Speaker 1: Hyundai Texans Radio studio. I'm John Harrish, your host, Glad
Speaker 1: to be with you this evening. Yeah I shouldn't sing.
Speaker 1: It's been a long day, so I'm a little little loopy.
Speaker 1: They started away earlier today, So it's about my bedtime
Speaker 1: right now, you would think. But hammering through on this
Speaker 1: edition of Texans All Access. A reminder tomorrow eight am.
Speaker 1: Right out of the shoot, Mark and I'll probably say
Speaker 1: hi to each other and then we're gonna throw it
Speaker 1: right to Dimico Ryans, Tamiko Ryan's joining me and Mark
Speaker 1: exclusive one on one, two on one. However, you want
Speaker 1: to look at it tomorrow with Timiko Ryans at eight am,
Speaker 1: be there. It should be there every day during training camp,
Speaker 1: in particular because that's when Mark and I take over
Speaker 1: at eight am to ten am. Even outside of eight am,
Speaker 1: you should be listening to Sports Area six ' ten
Speaker 1: sewn seth every day fought up by Landry and John.
Speaker 1: They were out at the Practice Center practice facility today
Speaker 1: and I think that's what they're gonna do each davery
Speaker 1: practice today they had Will Anderson Junior. How about that?
Speaker 1: Will Anderson Junior joined Landry and John. So good stuff.
Speaker 1: All right, it's get some news around the league. Two
Speaker 1: injuries one eh boy, it's just been nasty in Indianapolis,
Speaker 1: but kind of their own doing in some sense. Jonathan Taylor,
Speaker 1: if you followed it and we talked about that with
Speaker 1: John McClain. The situation Inneapolis has not gotten any better
Speaker 1: For the fourth year running back Jonathan Taylor. He continues
Speaker 1: to sit. They just talking about his back injury. He said,
Speaker 1: he never said anything. He said, y'all need to get
Speaker 1: new sources. Well, where do you think what source do
Speaker 1: you think that was? It is probably your say? Is
Speaker 1: that anyway? Crazy stuff going on? Indianapolis. Don't know or
Speaker 1: have any clue when Jonathan Taylor will be available to
Speaker 1: play or want to play or I don't know. It's
Speaker 1: just confusing. The man wants to play, but everybody wants
Speaker 1: to be compensated for their value, and that's what the
Speaker 1: running backs are kind of feeling themselves, and there's really
Speaker 1: nothing they can do. Unfortunately, now it gets more complicated
Speaker 1: when you bring in the fact that they might put
Speaker 1: him on the NFI list. If they put him on
Speaker 1: the NFI list, his contract tolls at twenty twenty four,
Speaker 1: that's a leverage play. My guess is that the cults
Speaker 1: are floating out there to say, hey, JT, you really
Speaker 1: have no option. If you're healthy, let's go because you've
Speaker 1: really got no option. So we'll see how this standoff
Speaker 1: sits in Indianapolis. But it's not getting any better because
Speaker 1: Zach Moss, who we saw in week Team last year
Speaker 1: killed us, really suffers a broken arm. He is now
Speaker 1: out six weeks. Says about six weeks, so if you're
Speaker 1: doing the math, four weeks is approximately end of September.
Speaker 1: Two weeks later, right around that time we play in Houston, Texans,
Speaker 1: So we'll see if Zach Moss will make it back.
Speaker 1: I agree with John and Mark, we talked about this.
Speaker 1: I think Jonathan Taylor will come back, but that is
Speaker 1: this is just not good news right now. The Cults
Speaker 1: running backs in camp are Jake Funk, Dion Jackson, who
Speaker 1: we've seen a little bit, Evan Hall, the rookie from Northwestern. Uh,
Speaker 1: that's not a great room. I mean, think about think
Speaker 1: about the Texas running backs. I mean, I think Texas
Speaker 1: running backs beyond our top two are actually you know,
Speaker 1: have some experience. I think they're more than decent. I
Speaker 1: think they're very good. And I probably think the Colts
Speaker 1: fans look at and go, hey, you know, there's Evan Hall,
Speaker 1: rookie for Northwestern. See what he's got. But what if
Speaker 1: the Texas didn't have Damian Pearson, Devin singletary. I mean,
Speaker 1: everybody'd be like, WHOA, yeah, well, that's kind of what
Speaker 1: the culture looking at right here. No Zach Moss for
Speaker 1: six weeks. We'll see if that expediate expediates the Jonathan
Speaker 1: Taylor situation or not. Another injury that's a big one.
Speaker 1: Wide receiver Tim Patrick of the Broncos had just gotten
Speaker 1: back to the Broncos after a torn ACL last year
Speaker 1: in practice tears his achilles tendon. I mean that the
Speaker 1: luck or lack thereof is just ridiculous. Tim Patrick, uh
Speaker 1: that never really the number one guy, but very involved
Speaker 1: in the offense, you know, reliable. You know, he's kind
Speaker 1: of the Broncos version of what Chris Moore was for
Speaker 1: the Texans the last couple of years. When you needed him,
Speaker 1: you got him. But Tim Patrick last year ACL, this
Speaker 1: week or this year achilles tendon. But that's not all
Speaker 1: on Broncos land. The Broncos plan to waive kJ Hamler,
Speaker 1: former Penn State third round pick. I believe he was
Speaker 1: with a non football illness designation. Apparently he's got perio
Speaker 1: pariokitis perio I can't pronounce it, but he's got a
Speaker 1: heard issue. But it's not a long term hard issue.
Speaker 1: He could be back. They're waving him, letting him essentially
Speaker 1: get treatment and do everything he needs to do. But
Speaker 1: he will be able to come back and play. That
Speaker 1: is if Bob Obviously at this point somebody will give
Speaker 1: him an opportunity. That is gonna be be tough perio
Speaker 1: periocard perry carditis. And I shouldn't even try and pronounce that.
Speaker 1: I'm too tired to do that either way. It's a
Speaker 1: mild heart irritation, is what it is. Says Chess was
Speaker 1: hurting during workouts. He later got diagnosed and was and
Speaker 1: found out after he got it checked. It doesn't appear
Speaker 1: that it will be a long term thing for Hamdler,
Speaker 1: but thoughts go out to him because we know we
Speaker 1: we know what that can turn into and how that goes. Guy,
Speaker 1: get yourself healthy before you get back on the field,
Speaker 1: so hopefully he's able to do that. All right, that's
Speaker 1: gonna do it for the show. A big thanks to Mark,
Speaker 1: to John McClain, to Eric Murray, to all of you
Speaker 1: for listening. Eight o'clock. Where are You're gonna be right here?
Speaker 1: Miko Ryant's on with Mark and myself. Make sure you
Speaker 1: check that out, we'll see why orowybody, and as always
Speaker 1: go Texans.
