1 00:00:00,840 --> 00:00:03,720 Speaker 1: Welcome in everybody to a Tuesday Nation of Texans all 2 00:00:03,880 --> 00:00:06,640 Speaker 1: access from the Honday Texans Radio Studio. I am your host, 3 00:00:06,760 --> 00:00:09,440 Speaker 1: John Harris, and I know if your body clock is 4 00:00:09,440 --> 00:00:12,880 Speaker 1: sponsored like mine, you sort of know Tuesday I should 5 00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:16,680 Speaker 1: be hearing Mark Vandemir's voice. But no, Mark Vandermer has 6 00:00:16,920 --> 00:00:19,479 Speaker 1: left me with radio all week long so he can 7 00:00:19,560 --> 00:00:22,279 Speaker 1: go on spring break. He's self quarantining for spring break. 8 00:00:22,520 --> 00:00:25,439 Speaker 1: You know what, great idea. I think that's what he's 9 00:00:25,440 --> 00:00:29,280 Speaker 1: doing secretly because he said he's gonna stay local. He 10 00:00:29,480 --> 00:00:32,879 Speaker 1: is home, he's responding to emails. I have you right, 11 00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:35,760 Speaker 1: I have not even bothered. I'm not even bothered him. 12 00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:38,560 Speaker 1: But I've had no reason too, because we've been doing radio. 13 00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:40,360 Speaker 1: I've been doing radio in the morning. Was set. I'm joking. 14 00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:43,080 Speaker 1: He does not have he does not have coronavirus. I 15 00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:45,519 Speaker 1: feel like Mark Vandermer is gonna start texting me he 16 00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:48,400 Speaker 1: does not have coronavirus. Probably joking, but he he But 17 00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:51,639 Speaker 1: it is he is self quarantining, maybe unknowingly. Yeah, like 18 00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:56,640 Speaker 1: you know, self quarantine and stay cation or kind of 19 00:00:56,640 --> 00:00:59,720 Speaker 1: what is the same. There's kind of what he really 20 00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:02,680 Speaker 1: think about it self quarantine and staycation. Are kind of 21 00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:04,880 Speaker 1: the same. I'll take you one step further. I was 22 00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:07,000 Speaker 1: at my son's high school because a lot of these 23 00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:10,920 Speaker 1: schools now are planning that there could be a cancelation. 24 00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:13,920 Speaker 1: My theory is after spring break, they're basically going to 25 00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:16,200 Speaker 1: tell everyone just stay home for two weeks because we 26 00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:18,759 Speaker 1: don't know where you all have been, right. But to 27 00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:23,320 Speaker 1: your point, okay, But but to your point, I was asking, like, 28 00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:26,760 Speaker 1: will can they tell us to work from home before 29 00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:30,400 Speaker 1: that happens, because I wouldn't mind being self quarantine without 30 00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:33,120 Speaker 1: the kids home first, because then it is a staycation. 31 00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:34,440 Speaker 1: I can eat a lot more done, I can get 32 00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:36,959 Speaker 1: caught up on my Netflix, and then send the kids home. Yeah, 33 00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:38,560 Speaker 1: because if it's gonna happen anyway, just give me a 34 00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:40,520 Speaker 1: few days. Just give me a few days. It just 35 00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:43,920 Speaker 1: dawned me though this thing goes on and there are 36 00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:48,880 Speaker 1: no high school graduations. My daughter's a senior. We gotta 37 00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:51,960 Speaker 1: have high school graduation. Oh my gosh, I mean, I 38 00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:54,160 Speaker 1: don't know. Maybe a lot of talk about gathering of 39 00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:57,080 Speaker 1: people of all kinds from all over the place, and 40 00:01:57,320 --> 00:02:00,680 Speaker 1: especially my daughter's graduation will have people from all over 41 00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:05,360 Speaker 1: the world. Oh my gosh, I mean it's margin. That's 42 00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:08,560 Speaker 1: late mays. I don't know, but still, my gosh, yeah, 43 00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:10,600 Speaker 1: oh this not make this now makes me? This not 44 00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:17,400 Speaker 1: makes me nervous. Add to the fact that my my league, 45 00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:21,480 Speaker 1: the IVY League, canceled, canceled. Not fans going to the 46 00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:25,919 Speaker 1: basketball tournament. They just canceled their tournament. Yeah they did. 47 00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:29,080 Speaker 1: I saw that trending on like I canceled a tournament. 48 00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:31,680 Speaker 1: Oh my gosh. So they're just sending the regular season champion, 49 00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:33,680 Speaker 1: which is what they used to do way back when 50 00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:36,600 Speaker 1: they only had a tournament for not not really long. 51 00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:38,360 Speaker 1: I don't know the exact but it's not been really 52 00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:39,560 Speaker 1: I know when I was in college, they didn't have 53 00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:41,480 Speaker 1: a tournament. It's just whoever won the regular season. They 54 00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:43,640 Speaker 1: played round robin, everybody home and away. So they're not 55 00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:46,680 Speaker 1: even going to do the empty stadium, empty stadium thing. 56 00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:51,320 Speaker 1: It's just Yale, you win, good luck. Like, oh, I mean, 57 00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:54,079 Speaker 1: it's a little unfair for the other for the other schools, 58 00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:56,679 Speaker 1: but I'm more prior too. But somebody had a great 59 00:02:56,680 --> 00:03:00,360 Speaker 1: tweet and they're like, so they don't want any body 60 00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:02,960 Speaker 1: playing in a tournament. But then the week following Yale 61 00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:06,000 Speaker 1: they're gonna send Yale to a tournament like that. Good, 62 00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:08,799 Speaker 1: that's it's gonna be really interesting. Marty Madness, Right, what's 63 00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:11,160 Speaker 1: gonna happen? Yeah? Are they gonna allow fans? Are they 64 00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:13,480 Speaker 1: gonna happen? I mean, it's gonna be It's gonna be 65 00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:15,359 Speaker 1: a really interesting situation how they handle. I know, in 66 00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:18,919 Speaker 1: San Jose they've got the women's tournament that's gonna be 67 00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:21,760 Speaker 1: playing at Stanford. And this is where O buddy Nathan 68 00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:23,399 Speaker 1: Edwards could help us a little bit because I don't 69 00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:25,360 Speaker 1: really kind of I know that area, but I really don't. 70 00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:27,760 Speaker 1: But I guess like San Jose County or whatever the 71 00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:31,080 Speaker 1: county is is saying anything within a certain mile limit 72 00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:35,240 Speaker 1: in no go, and that means three San Jose Sharks games. 73 00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:39,560 Speaker 1: It means the Stanford of the tournament that's at Stanford 74 00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:41,800 Speaker 1: because they do the first and second rounds on campus. 75 00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:44,120 Speaker 1: In the women's tournament, that could be shut down. Oh 76 00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:46,440 Speaker 1: my goodness. Well, you know, I think crazy. It's it's 77 00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:48,280 Speaker 1: a little bit crazier out there on the West Coast 78 00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:50,880 Speaker 1: in the Bay Area with schools being canceled. But I mean, 79 00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:54,200 Speaker 1: I feel like two weeks ago it was we were 80 00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:56,440 Speaker 1: not really talking about it so much in the US, 81 00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:59,040 Speaker 1: so I feel like in a week's time, I mean, 82 00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:02,440 Speaker 1: it could be the same everywhere, but by May and June, 83 00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:04,640 Speaker 1: by summer, what if it's what if it's like a 84 00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:06,880 Speaker 1: blip on the radar. I just I just think about 85 00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:09,120 Speaker 1: the year in review that is going to be for 86 00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:11,920 Speaker 1: twenty twenty. We're gonna, I feel like we're gonna be joking. 87 00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:16,360 Speaker 1: I hope about self quarantine like that. Remember that word 88 00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:19,719 Speaker 1: early on that freaked everybody out, everybody about toilet paper 89 00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:23,240 Speaker 1: by two k Like we fourteen days and it didn't 90 00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:24,920 Speaker 1: do anything. That's what I hope it is. But this 91 00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:30,359 Speaker 1: is but this has had such real life implications. South 92 00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:34,120 Speaker 1: By Southwest gets canceled. We found out I think it 93 00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:36,440 Speaker 1: was here last night or this morning, that a third 94 00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:41,480 Speaker 1: of their permanent staff is fired, is gone because they 95 00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:43,440 Speaker 1: just don't have the economics to keep everybody. I mean, 96 00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:46,320 Speaker 1: you're talking four hundred million dollars coming into the city 97 00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:48,520 Speaker 1: of Austin, you're to south By Southwest, and they're having 98 00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:52,880 Speaker 1: left to go fifty eight people because it got canceled. 99 00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:57,400 Speaker 1: So yes, even though it hasn't hit I guess yet 100 00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:01,520 Speaker 1: full on hit here, there are rampifications of it. But well, 101 00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:04,160 Speaker 1: the rodeo is live and in full effect. I just 102 00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:08,159 Speaker 1: came from the cafeteria and NCT one twenty seven is 103 00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:12,159 Speaker 1: performing tonight, Yes, the K pop band, and they're getting there. Yeah, 104 00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:14,159 Speaker 1: it's so it was. There will be a lot of 105 00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:16,040 Speaker 1: people here tonight. I like to leave a little bit 106 00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:21,000 Speaker 1: before all that happens. You absolutely have to because if 107 00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:24,640 Speaker 1: you don't, I mean it's I'm leaving right after this, 108 00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:27,120 Speaker 1: and I hope that I don't get in, you know, 109 00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:29,680 Speaker 1: caught in it as it's going on. I mean, I 110 00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:31,520 Speaker 1: don't want to get caught in it, but I know 111 00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:32,839 Speaker 1: it's gonna be tough. You can get out of here 112 00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:35,640 Speaker 1: after this segment.

Peter hasn't he has been completely just 140 00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:52,360 Speaker 1: I don't know the right where you're saying he's been 141 00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:56,160 Speaker 1: railroaded by all these like he has been. I'm so angry. 142 00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:59,640 Speaker 1: I'm so angry, and last night, why why do all 143 00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:05,520 Speaker 1: these important moments happen in the the Australian outback unknown 144 00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:08,760 Speaker 1: where they're just bugs, Like the conversations annoying, He's annoying. 145 00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:11,080 Speaker 1: I find everything annoying. And then there's bugs. They're sweating 146 00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:12,760 Speaker 1: way bugs the whole time. I don't know. I just 147 00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:14,920 Speaker 1: could not get over that. I thought this was a chance. 148 00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:17,360 Speaker 1: I watched of women, and by Champion Group, I mean 149 00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:22,040 Speaker 1: dramatic to the nines, like every it was. It's been 150 00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:26,080 Speaker 1: fantastic from that perspective. Now, yes, drama does not follow 151 00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:28,240 Speaker 1: the names that we are about to tell you. But 152 00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:32,000 Speaker 1: the Oxins have made signings and while I was on 153 00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:34,000 Speaker 1: today with seth DP, two of them happened. In fact, 154 00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:35,880 Speaker 1: I happened to see one of these guys as I 155 00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:37,960 Speaker 1: was in my office. He was just walking by, sad, 156 00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:39,480 Speaker 1: smile on his face, like it's gonna be kind of 157 00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:41,040 Speaker 1: a cool feeling. When you're a free agent, you don't 158 00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:43,680 Speaker 1: really know exactly what's gonna happen, and then you get 159 00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:45,760 Speaker 1: it worked out and you're like I'm good and you 160 00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:47,360 Speaker 1: kind of know what your plan is gonna be. And 161 00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:48,680 Speaker 1: I know that's got to be the toughest part of 162 00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:51,240 Speaker 1: free agency. And as you talk to free agency, they 163 00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:54,200 Speaker 1: have a most of them have a pretty good outlook 164 00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:57,000 Speaker 1: on it. But when you get you know, up there 165 00:07:57,040 --> 00:08:00,200 Speaker 1: a few years or like Darren Fells, you start kind 166 00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:02,160 Speaker 1: of thinking, all right, well, what's it gonna be? How 167 00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:04,160 Speaker 1: much long am I gonna play? Man? What am I 168 00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:06,800 Speaker 1: gonna find? I would imagine that's got to really help him. 169 00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:09,760 Speaker 1: But Darren Fells, Kimie Fairbaron, those two I talked about 170 00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:11,320 Speaker 1: was set this morning. Deep, I want to get your 171 00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:13,960 Speaker 1: thoughts on that. I couldn't be more excited for those guys. 172 00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:16,920 Speaker 1: They are I'm trying to think of the right way 173 00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:19,400 Speaker 1: of saying it. They're glue guys, if that's the right 174 00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:21,560 Speaker 1: term of using like, they're guys you've got to have 175 00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:23,800 Speaker 1: in a locker room to go win football games. Yes, 176 00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:26,440 Speaker 1: we know about DeAndre Hopkins and JJ Watt Shaw Watson, 177 00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:29,280 Speaker 1: we know about the Stars, Whitney Merciless, those guys. You've 178 00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:31,680 Speaker 1: got to have guys like Kimie Fairbir and Darren Fells 179 00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:33,640 Speaker 1: and go win championships. I'm glad to see them back. 180 00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:36,160 Speaker 1: Your thoughts about seeing them, yeah, yeah, absolutely, Well. I 181 00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:38,520 Speaker 1: think with Kimi fairbre and I think that's going along 182 00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:40,520 Speaker 1: with the fact that this team is trying to keep 183 00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:43,400 Speaker 1: together it's special teamers because they did so well last year, 184 00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:45,000 Speaker 1: so they don't want it to let guys go that 185 00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:48,160 Speaker 1: they know can perform for them. But with Darren Fells, 186 00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:50,760 Speaker 1: he stepped in here last offseason. I don't think anybody 187 00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:53,800 Speaker 1: knew where he was going to fit in because it's 188 00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:57,040 Speaker 1: a talented tight end groups as it is. But I 189 00:08:57,120 --> 00:09:01,400 Speaker 1: think he really elevated himself because his size and the 190 00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:03,600 Speaker 1: fact that he'd played tight end longer than Jordan Thomas, 191 00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:07,880 Speaker 1: Jordan Aikins, and Khali Wearing altogether combined, and you know, 192 00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:11,160 Speaker 1: he was dependable. He was out there. He had seven 193 00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:14,760 Speaker 1: receiving touchdowns last year, which was third, He was third 194 00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:17,120 Speaker 1: in the NFL. Mark and I talked about it, and 195 00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:19,040 Speaker 1: I felt like it should have been so much more 196 00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:22,600 Speaker 1: because something happened those last four weeks of the season 197 00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:25,120 Speaker 1: where you know, it's funny because everywhere I went, you 198 00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:27,040 Speaker 1: know what people would say to me, Johnny as if 199 00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:30,080 Speaker 1: I had anything to do with this. They said number 200 00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:33,640 Speaker 1: eighty seven needs to get the ball. Tell tell, tell somebody, 201 00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:37,120 Speaker 1: and I'm like, oh, well, they know, they know, they 202 00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:39,319 Speaker 1: know he needs to get the ball. But he's out there. 203 00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:41,840 Speaker 1: You know. Whatever the game plan was, you know, it 204 00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:45,200 Speaker 1: didn't involve a lot of big catches from Darren Fells. 205 00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:48,520 Speaker 1: But I hope that what we saw those first few 206 00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:50,560 Speaker 1: weeks of the Sea, the first half of the season, 207 00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:52,760 Speaker 1: that he can continue that. I mean, I know his 208 00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:54,520 Speaker 1: role is important even when he's out there, and then 209 00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:56,760 Speaker 1: of course you got Jordan Thomas coming back you know, 210 00:09:56,840 --> 00:09:58,400 Speaker 1: the year, and then you're trying to get Jordan Nakins 211 00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:00,800 Speaker 1: involved more. But when hear and fills out there, he 212 00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:04,240 Speaker 1: just seemed unstoppable. Now, he did have some drops later 213 00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:06,000 Speaker 1: on in the season. I wonder how much of that was, 214 00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:08,560 Speaker 1: you know, just he was just in that rhythm early on. Yeah, 215 00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:10,760 Speaker 1: that could be. Yeah. I think I think one thing 216 00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:13,120 Speaker 1: about at the end of the year, he should have 217 00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:15,720 Speaker 1: touchdown against Tampa Bay that got ruled a touchdown and 218 00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:17,760 Speaker 1: then they got taken off the board because he came 219 00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:19,679 Speaker 1: up like an inch short as he was being tackled, 220 00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:21,440 Speaker 1: and then Carlos Hoide I think punched it in on 221 00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:23,280 Speaker 1: the next one, so you should have had touchdown number 222 00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:25,280 Speaker 1: eight there, and I hated he got that taken away. 223 00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:28,600 Speaker 1: But I think the other factor is that because they had, 224 00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:31,560 Speaker 1: you know, something's going on the offensive line, Titus Howard 225 00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:39,000 Speaker 1: was completely healthy stock then then he was when they 226 00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:42,040 Speaker 1: had the offensive line all together earlier in the year. 227 00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:46,920 Speaker 1: And when you had that offensive line working together and 228 00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:50,360 Speaker 1: Fellas and Aikins could get out in routes. You saw 229 00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:52,560 Speaker 1: it happening week three out the Chargers. I mean that 230 00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:55,559 Speaker 1: five held up against the Chargers. You know, Markin, Melvin 231 00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:58,040 Speaker 1: Ingram and Joey Bosa and those guys are able to 232 00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:00,400 Speaker 1: get in routes, they create mismatches, booming away you go. 233 00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:05,040 Speaker 1: And that was pretty constant up until you know Titus 234 00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:06,680 Speaker 1: goes down and all of a sudden, but you gotta 235 00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:08,959 Speaker 1: you know, Chris Clark hasn't played a lot of football, 236 00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:10,480 Speaker 1: so now you gotta help him a little bit. So 237 00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:13,199 Speaker 1: there and also teams are like, look, we gotta take 238 00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:16,439 Speaker 1: him away. We've gotta we gotta slow him down, like 239 00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:18,920 Speaker 1: eighty seven down a route. We got to do something 240 00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:20,440 Speaker 1: about it. And I think it just goes to show 241 00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:23,520 Speaker 1: the impact that he had when he was on the field, 242 00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:26,360 Speaker 1: that teams are saying, look that that's that's a guy 243 00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:28,640 Speaker 1: that's not just a body, that's a guy we have 244 00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:31,600 Speaker 1: to account for, and not just we have to cover, 245 00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:33,560 Speaker 1: Like okay, everybody, just count coverage again, but you have 246 00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:36,200 Speaker 1: to account for him like that, no matter what, you 247 00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:39,440 Speaker 1: gotta account for that guy in the coverage. So he 248 00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:42,640 Speaker 1: to me coming back, and and I've seen some people 249 00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:45,840 Speaker 1: and some people will have asked me about this like Okay, well, 250 00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:47,360 Speaker 1: what's gonna happen with Fells? And I was like, well, 251 00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:49,160 Speaker 1: I like to bring him back. I'm like, well, we 252 00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:51,280 Speaker 1: got wearing coming back, and you got the two Jordans. 253 00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:53,000 Speaker 1: I was like, well, I thought going into the un 254 00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:55,600 Speaker 1: you'd have four anyways, I thought you would have four 255 00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:58,599 Speaker 1: tight ends. And if they end up being your best 256 00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:02,400 Speaker 1: interior pass catchers, you know between the numbers, because you 257 00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:04,760 Speaker 1: got you know, will follow DeAndre Hopkins, can he Stills. 258 00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:06,360 Speaker 1: I can do that stuff outside the numbers and deep 259 00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:08,360 Speaker 1: and all that kind of stuff. But do you have 260 00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:10,600 Speaker 1: somebody being a slow receiver or tit end I could 261 00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:13,280 Speaker 1: really win kind of the middle of the field, and 262 00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:17,040 Speaker 1: you do, absolutely you have it with these guys, right here. Now, 263 00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:19,040 Speaker 1: it's just a matter of last year you had a 264 00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:21,640 Speaker 1: couple of injuries, but the other two guys stepped up 265 00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:24,160 Speaker 1: played very well. Hopefully this year you won't have any injuries, 266 00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:26,760 Speaker 1: and you then are gonna have to decide, Okay, which 267 00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:29,680 Speaker 1: four the best? Which which maybe you're keeping three? Which 268 00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:30,840 Speaker 1: three of the four of the best? Year? You keep 269 00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:32,840 Speaker 1: it all four? Will there you go? But I think 270 00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:36,240 Speaker 1: bring him back and doing it at a two year deal, 271 00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:38,760 Speaker 1: I think is it's fantastic for this team. I think 272 00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:41,680 Speaker 1: it's fantastic for the leadership on this team. I think 273 00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:45,200 Speaker 1: he is a He's a quiet leader, but I think 274 00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:47,319 Speaker 1: when he speaks, I think people listen. I think the 275 00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:49,480 Speaker 1: team kind of follows his lead. But I think he 276 00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:51,319 Speaker 1: is the perfect kind of guy that Texans want to 277 00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:53,880 Speaker 1: have for this organization. Well, I think with the two Jordans, 278 00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:55,679 Speaker 1: they were going into their second year, but they were 279 00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:58,120 Speaker 1: both obviously still new to the NFL and and they 280 00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:01,199 Speaker 1: and I remember they told me in training camp Jordan 281 00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:04,640 Speaker 1: Thomas especially that Darren Fills sort of took him under 282 00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:06,840 Speaker 1: his wing talk to him a lot. And I think 283 00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:09,400 Speaker 1: this coaching staff really likes guys like that, especially with 284 00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:11,839 Speaker 1: the Collie Wearing that didn't play at all last season. 285 00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:14,640 Speaker 1: There is such value in that, so a two year deal, 286 00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:18,320 Speaker 1: you know, he imparts his veteran wisdom, brings some of 287 00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:21,319 Speaker 1: the young guys that he brings competition to the tight 288 00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:23,640 Speaker 1: end position in a year where there's not a lot 289 00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:26,040 Speaker 1: of tight end talent in the draft, so they don't 290 00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:28,040 Speaker 1: really have to rely on getting somebody else. So they've 291 00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:29,920 Speaker 1: got kind of their tight end group set up. I 292 00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:32,400 Speaker 1: feel like if there's one one position group that I 293 00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:34,280 Speaker 1: feel really good about, it would be the tight end 294 00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:37,960 Speaker 1: we're putting into twenty twenty. Yeah, it's like if we 295 00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:40,600 Speaker 1: draft a tight end, I don't know. I mean, I'll 296 00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:44,000 Speaker 1: be surprised, but things have surprised me. I would be 297 00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:45,680 Speaker 1: I would be surprised. I think the group they have 298 00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:48,640 Speaker 1: they're very happy with as it pertains the Kymie Fairbaron DP. 299 00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:51,480 Speaker 1: I really like the fact that they've now locked up 300 00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:54,360 Speaker 1: fair Baron. I like the fact Brian Anger was was 301 00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:57,040 Speaker 1: signed during the season at the very I think near 302 00:13:57,040 --> 00:13:58,680 Speaker 1: the end of the season, getting a deal done, and 303 00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:02,400 Speaker 1: he had such a great camp that when this team 304 00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:07,080 Speaker 1: let him go, yeah, I was surprised, but I thought, 305 00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:10,199 Speaker 1: maybe you know, the Trevor Daniel's been here. Yeah, and 306 00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:13,760 Speaker 1: you know the young younger. I don't know. I just thought, 307 00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:15,760 Speaker 1: you know, maybe it's hard for us to see because 308 00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:17,960 Speaker 1: we're watching it every day, but they're obviously looking at 309 00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:19,960 Speaker 1: the film and bringing it down Moore and I thought, well, 310 00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:21,800 Speaker 1: he's just going to get a chance with another team. 311 00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:23,560 Speaker 1: Anger is. There's no way that he's just going to 312 00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:25,920 Speaker 1: be available. So when when we brought him back, I thought, okay, 313 00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:28,000 Speaker 1: well it makes sense that we brought him back. And 314 00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:31,000 Speaker 1: I thought a lot of Kaime's issues, I know you 315 00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:33,160 Speaker 1: and I have talked about on the radio, like was 316 00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:35,840 Speaker 1: that because the kicking operation was a little bit different 317 00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:40,320 Speaker 1: early on, he's holding and you know to Kaymi's to 318 00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:42,560 Speaker 1: to Bill O'Brien who said, you know, Kaymie's the guy. 319 00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:44,240 Speaker 1: I know a lot of people wanted Kaimi, you know, 320 00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:47,360 Speaker 1: they wanted they wanted answers early on the season when 321 00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:49,640 Speaker 1: he was missing extra points. But from week seven on 322 00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:52,840 Speaker 1: he's been pretty perfect. He missed two field goals, but 323 00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:55,080 Speaker 1: they were one was like a fifty eight yard or 324 00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:57,320 Speaker 1: at Wembley. The other one was at Baltimore right before 325 00:14:57,320 --> 00:14:59,520 Speaker 1: the half. But he was pretty perfect from then on 326 00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:02,280 Speaker 1: out and on extra points as well. So I think 327 00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:04,280 Speaker 1: that they've they've got that figured out. I think it's 328 00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:05,840 Speaker 1: good if you can keep them all together and you 329 00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:07,560 Speaker 1: hate to switch kickers if you don't have to, and 330 00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:09,720 Speaker 1: you've got a guy whose leg is solid. Because that 331 00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:12,520 Speaker 1: Buffalo field goal, I mean, I know there's it seemed 332 00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:16,160 Speaker 1: like an easy field goal, but under those circumstances, we've 333 00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:19,120 Speaker 1: seen it happen Johnny time and time again with other teams. 334 00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:23,840 Speaker 1: Kickers missing kicks like that, Oh, no doubt. And it's look, 335 00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:25,720 Speaker 1: what kickers is never gonna be perfect. But I've had 336 00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:29,560 Speaker 1: this conversation with Bill O'Brien about about kickers and when 337 00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:31,960 Speaker 1: you you play football in your position players, sometimes you 338 00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:36,080 Speaker 1: look at the kicker and it's like whatever. But I 339 00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:38,320 Speaker 1: asked Bill, Bill and I've talked about this over the years, 340 00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:41,240 Speaker 1: but I asked him Steven got Goskowski being the offensive 341 00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:43,520 Speaker 1: coordinator for the Patriots when Goskowski was there, and I 342 00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:45,920 Speaker 1: asked Hi about that. He said, look, he's like, you 343 00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:48,280 Speaker 1: feel it when you don't have a good kicker, You 344 00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:51,280 Speaker 1: feel it. And he said with Gaskowski, he was like 345 00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:55,000 Speaker 1: in his mind, he knew in Bill's mind he knew 346 00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:58,160 Speaker 1: where he needed to get on the field offensively, like 347 00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:00,880 Speaker 1: where the team had to get to get Owski and range, 348 00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:03,160 Speaker 1: because he knew Gostkowski was gonna nail it. So in 349 00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:06,400 Speaker 1: two minute situations, any game situations, and to half situations, 350 00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:08,440 Speaker 1: he knew, Hey, just get them to a certain spot 351 00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:10,800 Speaker 1: and gus Kowski's gonna nail that one for and hopefully 352 00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:12,760 Speaker 1: that's something that he feels with a Kayamie. Hey, if 353 00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:14,360 Speaker 1: I just get him to the spot, hope that's something 354 00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:18,120 Speaker 1: Shawn knows. Hey, just get to this yard line, this goal, 355 00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:20,400 Speaker 1: and then he's gonna get you three points before the 356 00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:22,880 Speaker 1: end of the half or even you know, in a drive. 357 00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:26,320 Speaker 1: That's the other thing. During a drive, if it's like 358 00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:29,120 Speaker 1: third and twenty and you're on the you're on a fifty, 359 00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:30,960 Speaker 1: maybe you can't get twenty yards, but maybe you can 360 00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:33,840 Speaker 1: get ten to twelve and that's just good enough to 361 00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:36,080 Speaker 1: get Kaymie, you know, a field goal opportunity at that 362 00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:38,080 Speaker 1: point that he can knock through. So to have a 363 00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:40,960 Speaker 1: guy you can rely on like that, that is respecting 364 00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:42,920 Speaker 1: a locker room. A kicker to be respecting in the 365 00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:45,880 Speaker 1: locker room is not not easy to find. But to 366 00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:49,720 Speaker 1: have specialists like John Weeks, Brian Anger, Kaimie Fairbaron. To 367 00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:51,960 Speaker 1: have guys like that that are respecting locker room, I 368 00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:54,520 Speaker 1: think is really good for the team. It's great for 369 00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:56,480 Speaker 1: both offensive defense to know that those guys are gonna 370 00:16:56,520 --> 00:16:58,800 Speaker 1: hold up there into the bargain and to all be 371 00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:01,200 Speaker 1: in it together. And the fact that they're they're good 372 00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:03,920 Speaker 1: dudes on top of it just makes it that much more. Yeah, 373 00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:06,159 Speaker 1: and Kaymie wasn't he the lead leading scorer in the 374 00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:08,800 Speaker 1: NFL two years ago in twenty eighteen. He had one 375 00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:10,600 Speaker 1: hundred points last year? And then I every time I 376 00:17:10,600 --> 00:17:13,400 Speaker 1: see the Bears with all their kicking woes that they've 377 00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:16,360 Speaker 1: had after twenty eighteen, and everyone thought the Bears were 378 00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:18,879 Speaker 1: going to go really far, and you know their kicker 379 00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:22,840 Speaker 1: the name is totally Yes. He missed. He missed it 380 00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:25,160 Speaker 1: shanked off of the upright, which he had done several 381 00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:27,760 Speaker 1: times throughout the season in big games. The entire offseason 382 00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:30,480 Speaker 1: last year, they'd spent looking for kickers and signing guys 383 00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:34,520 Speaker 1: and never quite got that right. So with Kaymie, he 384 00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:36,600 Speaker 1: had a little blip early on in twenty nineteen, but 385 00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:38,600 Speaker 1: he was solid in twenty eighteen, won a lot of 386 00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:41,199 Speaker 1: games for the Texans and the time that he's been here. 387 00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:43,840 Speaker 1: So I saw John Weeks he was excited about on 388 00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:46,520 Speaker 1: Twitter that Kaymie got recent. I know you've got plenty 389 00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:50,120 Speaker 1: of work to do. Lots of hand washing too, yes, 390 00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:54,400 Speaker 1: hand washing. You've got the Rodeo going on, and you've 391 00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:57,040 Speaker 1: also got the Bachelor tonight, So I do we understand. 392 00:17:57,040 --> 00:18:00,359 Speaker 1: Thank you very much for time coming up. Drewry and 393 00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:04,240 Speaker 1: I are gonna play free agency true or false that 394 00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:07,159 Speaker 1: next time Texans access. The Texans made an official with 395 00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:12,520 Speaker 1: two signings today of current free agents. Kymie Fairbairn is 396 00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:16,760 Speaker 1: coming back, so is Darren Fells. Both of them made 397 00:18:17,040 --> 00:18:20,720 Speaker 1: significant impacts on this team in twenty nineteen, so glad 398 00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:24,200 Speaker 1: to see them in full for twenty twenty and beyond. 399 00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:26,600 Speaker 1: A DP and I talked a lot about that in 400 00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:29,720 Speaker 1: the first segment. So it's time to bring in my 401 00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:33,640 Speaker 1: in the lab crew, Patna Drew Doherty, as we did 402 00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:37,720 Speaker 1: a little Texans free agency true or false. The Texans 403 00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:42,040 Speaker 1: will resign eight of their own free agents this all season. 404 00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:46,840 Speaker 1: They've already signed four, they gonna add four more. I 405 00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:50,120 Speaker 1: would think so, yep, I would think so. I think 406 00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:53,320 Speaker 1: people when they look at the Texans free agents. The 407 00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:55,840 Speaker 1: first things that the first two that pop out right away, 408 00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:59,880 Speaker 1: or DJ Reader and Bradley Roby. But when you dive 409 00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:03,400 Speaker 1: to the fact that there were twenty to start with, 410 00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:09,479 Speaker 1: and obviously you have the three that's signed today, I 411 00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:11,840 Speaker 1: still think you've got to fill up the ufl at 412 00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:15,440 Speaker 1: your roster. Basically, it were being honest, So you've got 413 00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:20,040 Speaker 1: to have an opportunity to have guys come back at 414 00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:23,840 Speaker 1: particular positions and maybe that you're not totally thinking about. 415 00:19:24,040 --> 00:19:27,600 Speaker 1: I think the ones that will be interesting to watch, 416 00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:30,680 Speaker 1: say at least will be DJ, will be Bradley Roby, 417 00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:33,320 Speaker 1: Carlos Hide what happened to him. I'm always curious about 418 00:19:33,320 --> 00:19:35,879 Speaker 1: the running back market each and every offseason. Don't go 419 00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:39,359 Speaker 1: too far into that because later, but keep going. I 420 00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:41,359 Speaker 1: wous think that's a fast thing. I love watching the 421 00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:48,159 Speaker 1: running back market just because it's ever changing. And that 422 00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:51,840 Speaker 1: happened with the tight end market. I'm trying to think 423 00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:54,440 Speaker 1: there was one year, oh no, it's the Safeties, the Safeties. 424 00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:56,959 Speaker 1: Two years ago there was a safety they could get 425 00:19:57,000 --> 00:20:00,480 Speaker 1: a job. Safeties couldn't find a job, and then last 426 00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:03,119 Speaker 1: year Tyrant signed for a bunch of money. Kreen Jackson 427 00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:05,720 Speaker 1: signed for a bunch of money, a bunch of safetechn 428 00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:09,440 Speaker 1: and Jalila died to Sean Gibson, Yeah, safeties were signing 429 00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:12,200 Speaker 1: for some cash. I guess they realized how important that 430 00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:15,679 Speaker 1: position is after all. So I do think eight is 431 00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:18,640 Speaker 1: gonna be is gonna end up being the number because 432 00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:20,880 Speaker 1: last year, if you think about the guys that they signed, 433 00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:24,320 Speaker 1: it ended up being you know, factors on this team. 434 00:20:24,359 --> 00:20:28,440 Speaker 1: They signed Taiwan Jones, they signed Jalil Dies. You mentioned 435 00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:30,560 Speaker 1: to Sean Gibson. They signed and they were able to 436 00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:32,439 Speaker 1: sign Sean because he was a kelt casualty stick. They 437 00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:34,399 Speaker 1: signed him at any time. They signed him actually before 438 00:20:34,440 --> 00:20:40,040 Speaker 1: the tampering period even began, so they they had they 439 00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:42,400 Speaker 1: have to fill out that roster, and they're not gonna 440 00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:43,800 Speaker 1: be able to do with a bunch of draft picks. 441 00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:46,919 Speaker 1: They're not loaded with a dozen draft picks. So I've 442 00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:48,600 Speaker 1: a good a lot men to draft picks, be clear, 443 00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:51,159 Speaker 1: but they've got to be able to do it free agency. 444 00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:53,240 Speaker 1: I think they're gonna be able to do that and 445 00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:56,080 Speaker 1: keep what eight I'm gonna say, I think that's a 446 00:20:56,119 --> 00:20:58,520 Speaker 1: good number. I think it's right at eight. I think 447 00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:01,520 Speaker 1: that's a good number. Okay, since you touched on the 448 00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:05,240 Speaker 1: running backs, Duke Johnson's under contract, Carlos Hide is a 449 00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:08,199 Speaker 1: free agent. Lamar Miller is a free agent too. Taiwan 450 00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:11,000 Speaker 1: Jones is also a free agent. Yes, true or false? 451 00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:15,800 Speaker 1: The Texans will sign a running back who is an 452 00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:19,800 Speaker 1: external free agent, meaning he's not on the Texans right now. 453 00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:23,760 Speaker 1: True or false. They're bringing in an outside back. That's 454 00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:28,680 Speaker 1: a vet. I think it's possible, but given the doubt, 455 00:21:28,760 --> 00:21:30,640 Speaker 1: I know it's a great question. When you answered that way, 456 00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:33,639 Speaker 1: we couldn't just go one way or the other. You know, well, 457 00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:35,880 Speaker 1: I know, but I'm gonna answer your question, and I'm 458 00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:40,240 Speaker 1: gonna answer it relatively emphatically with a noe. Okay, because 459 00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:43,160 Speaker 1: the draft is so good. The draft is so good, 460 00:21:43,680 --> 00:21:46,200 Speaker 1: the backs on the roster are pretty good. Coron Higden 461 00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:48,320 Speaker 1: is here, and he's a guy you've got to consider. 462 00:21:48,359 --> 00:21:50,280 Speaker 1: It's a practice squad all year. I know people like 463 00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:52,159 Speaker 1: the Brex squad are How good really is he? How 464 00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:53,800 Speaker 1: many times have we've seen guys come from the practice 465 00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:55,600 Speaker 1: squad end up being really good players? Where do you 466 00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:59,200 Speaker 1: Brandon Dune got to start? I'm not expecting Hi run 467 00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:00,959 Speaker 1: for eighteen hundred yar to be the number one back 468 00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:03,280 Speaker 1: in the in the NFL. But Karn Higden is going 469 00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:04,840 Speaker 1: to be in his competition. So I think you're gonna 470 00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:07,240 Speaker 1: have a rookie. I think you're gonna have Kron Higden. 471 00:22:08,560 --> 00:22:11,800 Speaker 1: You've got Duke Johnson. So there's three right there. So 472 00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:17,359 Speaker 1: if they they what I do? Oh, and I do 473 00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:19,920 Speaker 1: think I got like Taiwan Jones comes back. I think 474 00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:22,960 Speaker 1: Taiwan Jones is a valuable piece, so Buddy Holland or 475 00:22:23,040 --> 00:22:26,920 Speaker 1: roster too. So I think there will be one drafted 476 00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:29,879 Speaker 1: and added to the mix, like Karon Higden gets in 477 00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:33,160 Speaker 1: that mix. And I think once that player is drafted, 478 00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:37,040 Speaker 1: we'll be able to see how maybe they do look 479 00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:39,600 Speaker 1: at what's remaining out there. I think the running back 480 00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:46,240 Speaker 1: market is so crazy, so crazy. But I think of 481 00:22:46,320 --> 00:22:50,320 Speaker 1: that group of hide who did you say, hide Taiwan Jones, 482 00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:56,840 Speaker 1: Higden should hide Jones and Lamar Miller, I think hide Jones. 483 00:22:57,280 --> 00:22:59,399 Speaker 1: I think two of those guys come back. Yeah, I 484 00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:01,560 Speaker 1: think two of come back, okay, So I think that'll 485 00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:03,280 Speaker 1: fill out your roster. So I don't think you need 486 00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:05,800 Speaker 1: an external guy. If you fall in love with the guy, fine, 487 00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:07,200 Speaker 1: But I think you can find one of the running 488 00:23:07,200 --> 00:23:08,680 Speaker 1: back class. You can get one of Day three. That 489 00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:10,840 Speaker 1: should be you could argue in some of years would 490 00:23:10,840 --> 00:23:13,320 Speaker 1: be a Day two guy. All right, true or false? 491 00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:20,239 Speaker 1: The Texans will sign an external unrestricted free agent on 492 00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:23,159 Speaker 1: the very first day of free agency. Now, let's rewind 493 00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:24,720 Speaker 1: to think about it. Last year they didn't do that. 494 00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:26,920 Speaker 1: They didn't sign anybody on the first day of free agency. 495 00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:30,200 Speaker 1: They waited a little bit and they plucked guys two 496 00:23:30,280 --> 00:23:33,720 Speaker 1: years ago, same same deal. But their big signing was 497 00:23:33,760 --> 00:23:36,440 Speaker 1: Tyrn Matthew, who came a few days after the opening 498 00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:39,560 Speaker 1: signing period. Let's go back to twenty sixteen, though they 499 00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:42,320 Speaker 1: made a big splash. They did a cannonball signed brock 500 00:23:42,320 --> 00:23:44,879 Speaker 1: Oswiler that was a big deal at the time. Lamar 501 00:23:44,920 --> 00:23:46,640 Speaker 1: Miller was a pretty big deal, and they also signed 502 00:23:46,680 --> 00:23:50,760 Speaker 1: Jeff Allen and Tony Berkstram, couple of offensive lineman. Now 503 00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:53,159 Speaker 1: all those four, one of them wound up sticking with 504 00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:55,399 Speaker 1: you and playing really well for you for for a 505 00:23:55,440 --> 00:24:01,040 Speaker 1: good bit. Do you think next Wednesday's gonna swoop out 506 00:24:01,359 --> 00:24:09,320 Speaker 1: sign somebody free agent? Wise false? False? Okay, I think 507 00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:12,280 Speaker 1: there are a lot of dominoes, so are gonna have 508 00:24:12,320 --> 00:24:15,040 Speaker 1: to fall for a lot of different teams. And I 509 00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:18,720 Speaker 1: think some of this kind of goes back to what 510 00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:22,400 Speaker 1: happens with the CBA. So I do think there might 511 00:24:22,600 --> 00:24:28,040 Speaker 1: be some I don't say issues that agents and teams 512 00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:30,240 Speaker 1: are gonna have to work out, but I would think 513 00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:32,399 Speaker 1: over that tampering period, Yeah, there're gonna be some players 514 00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:35,680 Speaker 1: that they're gonna want to talk to. But this doesn't 515 00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:37,679 Speaker 1: all happen on day one, but I think it might 516 00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:39,879 Speaker 1: take a little longer to kind of flesh out the 517 00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:42,560 Speaker 1: flesh out all the different issues that there is a 518 00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:45,440 Speaker 1: new CBA or there's not gonna be a new CBA. 519 00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:47,919 Speaker 1: How does that impact the long term deals that I 520 00:24:47,960 --> 00:24:51,000 Speaker 1: think is gonna be. It's gonna be something that agents 521 00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:54,639 Speaker 1: and players and coaches, teams, personnel, staff, gms all that 522 00:24:54,680 --> 00:24:57,199 Speaker 1: they're gonna have to figure that stuff out. And I 523 00:24:57,240 --> 00:25:00,560 Speaker 1: don't know that that they're gonna be able to right away. 524 00:25:00,600 --> 00:25:02,920 Speaker 1: And I just think the Texans, the way that they've 525 00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:07,120 Speaker 1: gone about things, they'll be very judicious with the free agents. 526 00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:11,920 Speaker 1: Free agent or free agents they're gonna sign that they're 527 00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:14,399 Speaker 1: gonna be you know, they're gonna have to felt the 528 00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:16,720 Speaker 1: roster with a few free agent like last year, or 529 00:25:16,760 --> 00:25:19,200 Speaker 1: they'll die. There was a guy that came well after 530 00:25:19,240 --> 00:25:21,760 Speaker 1: the fact, Darren Fells. Darren Fells well after the fact. 531 00:25:22,119 --> 00:25:24,280 Speaker 1: So I think they're gonna have, you know, plenty of 532 00:25:24,280 --> 00:25:27,040 Speaker 1: those guys that they're gonna have to figure out where 533 00:25:27,080 --> 00:25:30,680 Speaker 1: they fit and sign them. I don't know if the Texans, 534 00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:33,480 Speaker 1: you know, given what they're gonna have to do with Laramy, 535 00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:35,360 Speaker 1: given what they're gonna have to do with the Sean eventually, 536 00:25:35,760 --> 00:25:38,120 Speaker 1: I don't know that it ends up being a big 537 00:25:38,760 --> 00:25:41,439 Speaker 1: price tag free agent right off the bat. Would it 538 00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:44,240 Speaker 1: be cool if they did it? Yeah, absolutely, But I 539 00:25:44,280 --> 00:25:47,320 Speaker 1: don't know that I would. I don't know if I 540 00:25:47,359 --> 00:25:49,360 Speaker 1: would bet my lunch of money on it. So I'm 541 00:25:49,359 --> 00:25:51,520 Speaker 1: gonna go ahead and say no to that question, true 542 00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:54,679 Speaker 1: or false kind of as the fallow up to that 543 00:25:55,960 --> 00:26:00,439 Speaker 1: cornerback will be the first external free gent that the 544 00:26:00,440 --> 00:26:08,879 Speaker 1: Texans sign that position cornerback external, Yeah, meaning it's a 545 00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:12,359 Speaker 1: non Texan. Yeah, I think you know what external? Yeah. No, 546 00:26:12,560 --> 00:26:14,639 Speaker 1: I just don't know why I just explained that to 547 00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:16,960 Speaker 1: you like here, Well, No, the reason that I said 548 00:26:17,040 --> 00:26:21,120 Speaker 1: external is, look, Bradley Roby is you know he's coming 549 00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:23,520 Speaker 1: up on being a free agent. Um, is that a 550 00:26:23,760 --> 00:26:26,040 Speaker 1: that a player that the Texans want to keep around? 551 00:26:26,119 --> 00:26:28,080 Speaker 1: And I would I would love to see it. I 552 00:26:28,359 --> 00:26:30,159 Speaker 1: like Robe, I like what he brought to this team. 553 00:26:30,920 --> 00:26:33,920 Speaker 1: But there are a number of different options out there. 554 00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:37,600 Speaker 1: At the corner position. I would think that would be 555 00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:39,920 Speaker 1: one place we all talk about edge rushers. I think 556 00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:42,000 Speaker 1: a lot of the edge rushers or you know, interior, 557 00:26:42,200 --> 00:26:44,480 Speaker 1: you know the pass rushers you'll throw Chris Jones and 558 00:26:44,520 --> 00:26:47,600 Speaker 1: the Chiefs in that mix. I think those guys are 559 00:26:48,359 --> 00:26:49,680 Speaker 1: going to a lot of the number of those guys 560 00:26:49,760 --> 00:26:53,439 Speaker 1: might get franchise. The franchise tag date got moved to Monday. 561 00:26:53,640 --> 00:26:57,840 Speaker 1: It got moved, so there's there and they're doing that 562 00:26:57,880 --> 00:27:00,399 Speaker 1: because the CBA date got moved to Their trying to 563 00:27:00,800 --> 00:27:03,000 Speaker 1: trying to line those things up a little bit. I 564 00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:04,399 Speaker 1: think a lot of those guys are gonna end up 565 00:27:04,440 --> 00:27:07,200 Speaker 1: getting franchise and the guys that end up getting left 566 00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:10,680 Speaker 1: over if you will, are gonna be guys probably you 567 00:27:10,840 --> 00:27:14,680 Speaker 1: can maybe, um take a look at day two, day three, 568 00:27:14,760 --> 00:27:17,600 Speaker 1: day four, etc. I do think if they're going to strike, 569 00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:19,879 Speaker 1: the corner position is probably a good one to strike. 570 00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:23,040 Speaker 1: Byron Jones, James Bradberry. Those are the first two names 571 00:27:23,080 --> 00:27:25,680 Speaker 1: that that pop off the list. Bradley Robie of course, 572 00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:28,760 Speaker 1: so you got so I'm going true, I do think 573 00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:30,680 Speaker 1: that corner is the first one. I have to kind 574 00:27:30,680 --> 00:27:33,879 Speaker 1: of talk myself through these things. I just true, I'm 575 00:27:33,920 --> 00:27:35,919 Speaker 1: here to give I think your corner. I think corner 576 00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:38,280 Speaker 1: is gonna be is gonna be the first one. The 577 00:27:38,400 --> 00:27:41,560 Speaker 1: way that this game is played now, I think you 578 00:27:41,640 --> 00:27:44,000 Speaker 1: have to hit on that particular position the Patriots did 579 00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:46,119 Speaker 1: a few years ago as Stefan Gilmore. Yeah, that was 580 00:27:46,160 --> 00:27:49,280 Speaker 1: a big hit. So I would think you've got to 581 00:27:49,280 --> 00:27:51,720 Speaker 1: have dudes that can cover now. I mean, I know 582 00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:55,240 Speaker 1: it sounds obvious, but even to a point of being 583 00:27:55,680 --> 00:27:58,960 Speaker 1: even more like, if you think you've got enough, get more, 584 00:27:59,720 --> 00:28:03,000 Speaker 1: and you don't think you have enough, then stockpile all right, 585 00:28:03,080 --> 00:28:05,800 Speaker 1: start getting them. Okay, moving along, one of our favorite 586 00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:09,640 Speaker 1: players to converse with and talk with is Joe Webb. Yes, 587 00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:13,800 Speaker 1: love talking with Joe Webb out of Alabama, Birmingham guy. 588 00:28:14,200 --> 00:28:15,800 Speaker 1: Fun guy to talk with, not a he's not a 589 00:28:15,840 --> 00:28:19,600 Speaker 1: Crimson tie guy. He's from the state of Alabama. Does 590 00:28:19,600 --> 00:28:21,199 Speaker 1: a lot of stuff for this football team. He's a 591 00:28:21,280 --> 00:28:23,360 Speaker 1: tremendous special teamer. We didn't get to see him last 592 00:28:23,400 --> 00:28:25,880 Speaker 1: year because of the injury in the preseason. But he's 593 00:28:25,920 --> 00:28:30,760 Speaker 1: also a quarterback. Yes, also plays receiver. He's a free agent, 594 00:28:31,600 --> 00:28:35,120 Speaker 1: so two is your backup quarterback from twenty nineteen. AJ 595 00:28:35,280 --> 00:28:39,160 Speaker 1: McCarron came in in Week seventeen to give Deshaun Watson 596 00:28:39,160 --> 00:28:41,720 Speaker 1: some rest, let him down the field for a touchdown. 597 00:28:41,880 --> 00:28:43,480 Speaker 1: Was the only touchdown of the regular season that the 598 00:28:43,520 --> 00:28:46,920 Speaker 1: Texans scored on the opening drive, ultimately the Texans falling 599 00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:50,840 Speaker 1: that one to the Titans. Mccaren's a free agent as well. 600 00:28:51,320 --> 00:28:57,360 Speaker 1: So true or false, the two quarterbacks behind Deshaun Watson 601 00:28:58,760 --> 00:29:02,240 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty will not have been on the roster 602 00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:05,240 Speaker 1: in twenty nineteen. So they going outside or they sticking 603 00:29:05,280 --> 00:29:07,760 Speaker 1: with one or both of those guys. They're they're sticking. 604 00:29:08,560 --> 00:29:13,400 Speaker 1: I think let's let's think number three back. They're gonna 605 00:29:13,480 --> 00:29:18,600 Speaker 1: have Alex McGoo here right match number three. Very athletic guy. 606 00:29:18,760 --> 00:29:21,080 Speaker 1: He was a practice squad, was practice squad. He was 607 00:29:21,120 --> 00:29:23,760 Speaker 1: on the fifty three for a little bit. He's a 608 00:29:23,800 --> 00:29:27,080 Speaker 1: guy that you want to keep around and you wanted 609 00:29:27,120 --> 00:29:28,920 Speaker 1: There were some teams that were trying to poach him 610 00:29:28,960 --> 00:29:32,160 Speaker 1: and they were able to keep him around, so that 611 00:29:32,360 --> 00:29:35,400 Speaker 1: ended up working out. So that brings me down to 612 00:29:36,200 --> 00:29:38,840 Speaker 1: is either Joe and or AJ back on the roster. 613 00:29:39,160 --> 00:29:40,920 Speaker 1: I would love to be able to bring AJ back. 614 00:29:41,320 --> 00:29:44,000 Speaker 1: I think Aj it was so cool to see him 615 00:29:44,040 --> 00:29:47,000 Speaker 1: after that game in Week seventeen, even though the Texans 616 00:29:47,080 --> 00:29:50,120 Speaker 1: end up losing that he was so jacked have played 617 00:29:50,520 --> 00:29:53,400 Speaker 1: to have competed, and I like having a guy like 618 00:29:53,440 --> 00:29:56,520 Speaker 1: that on the roster. That competition means that much to him. 619 00:29:56,520 --> 00:29:59,080 Speaker 1: I mean, he was just I said to him because 620 00:29:59,080 --> 00:30:00,960 Speaker 1: I was asking him hit that he had taken in 621 00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:02,520 Speaker 1: the game and I was talking to him about it, 622 00:30:02,960 --> 00:30:05,200 Speaker 1: and he goes, yeah, man, And he talked to me 623 00:30:05,240 --> 00:30:07,640 Speaker 1: for like two minutes about what happened on that particular hit, 624 00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:10,240 Speaker 1: and he just said his some osa was fun to 625 00:30:10,280 --> 00:30:12,520 Speaker 1: be back playing. He goes, oh, dude, you don't even know, man, 626 00:30:12,880 --> 00:30:14,800 Speaker 1: it's just it's so fun to be back playing. I 627 00:30:14,840 --> 00:30:17,400 Speaker 1: think I would love to bring AJ back. I would 628 00:30:17,400 --> 00:30:20,640 Speaker 1: love it now. I would think AJ knowing him that 629 00:30:20,720 --> 00:30:23,320 Speaker 1: he wants to compete for a starting job, but with 630 00:30:23,520 --> 00:30:25,960 Speaker 1: so many different quarterbacks that are going to be out there, 631 00:30:26,040 --> 00:30:29,800 Speaker 1: this might be the best opportunity to continue to show 632 00:30:29,800 --> 00:30:33,760 Speaker 1: what he's got here in Houston. But then again, I'm 633 00:30:33,800 --> 00:30:36,760 Speaker 1: not you know, I'm not his family. I can't make 634 00:30:36,800 --> 00:30:38,800 Speaker 1: that decision for you know, he his wife, his kids, 635 00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:40,800 Speaker 1: all that. But I think it's a good opportunity for him, 636 00:30:41,040 --> 00:30:42,760 Speaker 1: So I think he's gonna stay. And I know how 637 00:30:42,840 --> 00:30:46,440 Speaker 1: everybody feels about Joe Webb, so I think if I 638 00:30:46,480 --> 00:30:50,280 Speaker 1: have to say true to one of those staying, I 639 00:30:50,360 --> 00:30:53,400 Speaker 1: think one of those does stay. Okay, final true false? 640 00:30:53,520 --> 00:30:55,960 Speaker 1: John starting a week from Wednesday to start a free 641 00:30:55,960 --> 00:30:58,440 Speaker 1: AGC with a two week window afterwards. In that window, 642 00:30:58,480 --> 00:31:02,280 Speaker 1: the Texans will make a trade. True or false? Yes, Okay, 643 00:31:02,280 --> 00:31:04,240 Speaker 1: I think that's true. I don't know why I jumped 644 00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:06,360 Speaker 1: on that one real quickly, but that's the most that's 645 00:31:06,400 --> 00:31:09,920 Speaker 1: the most definitive, declarative, quickest answer you've given out these 646 00:31:09,920 --> 00:31:12,400 Speaker 1: all these truth falses. First of all, I think I 647 00:31:12,440 --> 00:31:17,240 Speaker 1: think trades. I mean, we obviously saw what happened that 648 00:31:17,360 --> 00:31:20,600 Speaker 1: Saturday before the week you know, the Saturday after Week four, 649 00:31:20,720 --> 00:31:23,080 Speaker 1: the preseason, right, I mean we're crazy. I mean how 650 00:31:23,080 --> 00:31:24,920 Speaker 1: many trades were that they had to Clowning trade, Tounsil 651 00:31:24,920 --> 00:31:28,480 Speaker 1: and Stills trade. You had the Carlos high trade. You 652 00:31:28,560 --> 00:31:31,000 Speaker 1: had to kempt crossing trade. You had four trades in 653 00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:33,760 Speaker 1: a matter of like an hour and a half, it 654 00:31:34,160 --> 00:31:36,040 Speaker 1: felt like. And some of those they may have been 655 00:31:36,040 --> 00:31:38,040 Speaker 1: working on for a while. But I would I would 656 00:31:38,080 --> 00:31:41,400 Speaker 1: think there's there's going to be a trade. Ye Who 657 00:31:41,440 --> 00:31:44,640 Speaker 1: that is and what that's gonna be, I don't know. 658 00:31:45,080 --> 00:31:47,360 Speaker 1: I don't know. It might just be draft picks, might 659 00:31:47,400 --> 00:31:50,920 Speaker 1: just be some team has an idea of what is now. 660 00:31:50,920 --> 00:31:53,360 Speaker 1: Those things happen closer to the draft when it has 661 00:31:53,400 --> 00:31:55,960 Speaker 1: to do with draft picks, and happens during the draft. 662 00:31:56,680 --> 00:32:00,800 Speaker 1: But I do feel like the Texans will there will 663 00:32:00,880 --> 00:32:06,680 Speaker 1: be there will be some trade too, I think help 664 00:32:06,760 --> 00:32:09,880 Speaker 1: the Texans get more picks. And I don't know, I 665 00:32:09,880 --> 00:32:11,520 Speaker 1: don't know exactly how to feel about that, Like is 666 00:32:11,560 --> 00:32:13,160 Speaker 1: it good? Is that bad? I don't know. I just 667 00:32:13,200 --> 00:32:16,160 Speaker 1: feel like once the new league year hits and it's 668 00:32:16,160 --> 00:32:18,560 Speaker 1: time to put this new ninety man roster that turned 669 00:32:18,600 --> 00:32:21,240 Speaker 1: into forty six or forty whatever the new CBA is 670 00:32:21,280 --> 00:32:24,000 Speaker 1: gonna tell it. If there is one whatever turns into 671 00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:26,000 Speaker 1: forty six on game day, let's start putting that thing 672 00:32:26,040 --> 00:32:29,160 Speaker 1: together and see what looks like. And I think this 673 00:32:29,280 --> 00:32:33,200 Speaker 1: organization has proven since Bill O'Brien is taken over as 674 00:32:33,360 --> 00:32:37,120 Speaker 1: as general manager. Basically, there's no sitting around, just no 675 00:32:37,320 --> 00:32:39,760 Speaker 1: sitting around. Now, you're gonna be patient with certain things 676 00:32:39,760 --> 00:32:41,800 Speaker 1: and things you need to be but if you see 677 00:32:41,840 --> 00:32:44,960 Speaker 1: something you want to go do, thence if we judge 678 00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:47,760 Speaker 1: my research, good word talking about pound punch, good word 679 00:32:48,200 --> 00:32:51,400 Speaker 1: that I'm telling you that wasn't easy at all. Maybe 680 00:32:51,400 --> 00:32:53,080 Speaker 1: the last question was easy. But now that I think 681 00:32:53,080 --> 00:32:54,800 Speaker 1: about it, and do you ask me that hours ago, 682 00:32:54,800 --> 00:32:57,320 Speaker 1: as we did are in the Lab podcast, I'm not 683 00:32:57,440 --> 00:33:00,440 Speaker 1: totally certain what the Texans will do. When you start 684 00:33:00,480 --> 00:33:04,959 Speaker 1: thinking about trades. It would seem obvious given their proclivity 685 00:33:05,040 --> 00:33:07,960 Speaker 1: for trades and what they did at the beginning of 686 00:33:08,040 --> 00:33:11,320 Speaker 1: the twenty nineteenth season. But the more I think about it, 687 00:33:11,360 --> 00:33:14,760 Speaker 1: maybe that just isn't the time for trades. That maybe 688 00:33:14,760 --> 00:33:18,080 Speaker 1: we'll see more trades as we get close to the 689 00:33:18,200 --> 00:33:23,120 Speaker 1: draft night of the draft or second night of the draft, 690 00:33:23,120 --> 00:33:25,800 Speaker 1: third night draft, whatever the case might be. The Texans will, 691 00:33:25,880 --> 00:33:29,280 Speaker 1: I think, make deals between now and the end of 692 00:33:29,360 --> 00:33:32,160 Speaker 1: draft weekend. I just I don't know. Maybe that was 693 00:33:32,200 --> 00:33:34,560 Speaker 1: too soon. The next couple of weeks. I wish just 694 00:33:34,640 --> 00:33:37,000 Speaker 1: Drew would ask me until the end of the draft. 695 00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:38,360 Speaker 1: Then I would have said yes. I would have been 696 00:33:38,400 --> 00:33:41,480 Speaker 1: my house on it. And I don't know what the 697 00:33:41,520 --> 00:33:44,240 Speaker 1: Texans will do. I just think they're gonna be moving. 698 00:33:44,280 --> 00:33:46,280 Speaker 1: I think that's the way they want to look at 699 00:33:46,280 --> 00:33:47,720 Speaker 1: I think that's the way Bill O'Brian would like to 700 00:33:47,760 --> 00:33:51,200 Speaker 1: look at it. So we'll see what happens with that. 701 00:33:51,320 --> 00:33:53,640 Speaker 1: But that was really fun and I really appreciate Drew 702 00:33:53,920 --> 00:33:57,520 Speaker 1: for stepping in. Now. The coronavirus has taken over our 703 00:33:57,560 --> 00:34:01,080 Speaker 1: lives on so many different angles. It's changed a lot 704 00:34:01,120 --> 00:34:04,920 Speaker 1: of things, including my league, Divy League canceling it's men's 705 00:34:04,960 --> 00:34:08,680 Speaker 1: basketball tournament, amongst other things. What about the NFL, how's 706 00:34:08,680 --> 00:34:11,600 Speaker 1: it impacting the NFL and other NFL news as we 707 00:34:11,640 --> 00:34:13,520 Speaker 1: go around the NFL, and our final segment right here 708 00:34:13,560 --> 00:34:16,880 Speaker 1: on Texas All Access. We want final segment of this 709 00:34:16,960 --> 00:34:21,280 Speaker 1: Tuesday edition Texas All Access from the Monday Texas Radio Studio. 710 00:34:21,320 --> 00:34:23,640 Speaker 1: I'm your host, John Harris. I'm not used to saying Tuesday. 711 00:34:23,880 --> 00:34:26,400 Speaker 1: Kind of caught me off guard. I'm used to say Monday, Wednesday, Fridays, 712 00:34:26,400 --> 00:34:29,080 Speaker 1: as you used to learn minddays. But Mark is out. 713 00:34:29,440 --> 00:34:32,600 Speaker 1: He is on a staycation he's self quarantine. However you 714 00:34:32,680 --> 00:34:34,080 Speaker 1: want to look at it, don't. He might be traveled 715 00:34:34,120 --> 00:34:36,839 Speaker 1: a little bit, but Mark will be back next week. 716 00:34:36,920 --> 00:34:41,280 Speaker 1: I will then be out because it's my daughter's school 717 00:34:41,360 --> 00:34:43,680 Speaker 1: spring break, so and my wife's too, so we'll be 718 00:34:43,760 --> 00:34:46,480 Speaker 1: out next week while things are going on. But I 719 00:34:46,560 --> 00:34:48,480 Speaker 1: know if the Texas makes signings and things of that 720 00:34:48,600 --> 00:34:50,960 Speaker 1: magnitude not gonna be far away. I'm gonna come in 721 00:34:51,040 --> 00:34:54,120 Speaker 1: here and chop it up with Mark if that happens. 722 00:34:54,360 --> 00:34:59,319 Speaker 1: But there's been plenty going on in the league. As 723 00:34:59,360 --> 00:35:02,520 Speaker 1: it pertains too well league goings on. It feel like 724 00:35:02,600 --> 00:35:04,040 Speaker 1: this morning there was a lot of things. Obviously, the 725 00:35:04,080 --> 00:35:06,640 Speaker 1: Texans sign Kenry fair Baron and Darren Fells. That was 726 00:35:06,680 --> 00:35:11,879 Speaker 1: big news, one big one coming out of the Baltimore 727 00:35:12,120 --> 00:35:15,279 Speaker 1: Ravens organization, and that is and I heard this was 728 00:35:15,320 --> 00:35:18,759 Speaker 1: a possibility, So I'm not totally shocked by this. But man, 729 00:35:18,840 --> 00:35:20,600 Speaker 1: he's a good player. His next stop would be in 730 00:35:20,600 --> 00:35:23,080 Speaker 1: the Hall of Fame because he was tremendous. Marshall Yonda 731 00:35:23,280 --> 00:35:27,279 Speaker 1: is retiring after thirteen years with the Ravens. He won 732 00:35:27,320 --> 00:35:30,319 Speaker 1: a championship with the team in twenty twelve. He went 733 00:35:30,360 --> 00:35:33,440 Speaker 1: to eight Pro Bowls. He was a I believe four 734 00:35:33,520 --> 00:35:37,120 Speaker 1: time All Pro. He was a third round pick. And 735 00:35:37,360 --> 00:35:39,839 Speaker 1: whatever you knew, do not go look at the two 736 00:35:39,880 --> 00:35:42,759 Speaker 1: thousand and seven draft of Houston Texans. Do not go 737 00:35:42,920 --> 00:35:46,200 Speaker 1: look at it and understand that Marshall Yonda was drafted 738 00:35:46,239 --> 00:35:48,839 Speaker 1: in the third round. Just don't go look at it. 739 00:35:48,960 --> 00:35:53,120 Speaker 1: And by saying don't, you might want to. There's plenty 740 00:35:53,160 --> 00:35:57,480 Speaker 1: of other things going on, in particular some CBA nfl 741 00:35:57,520 --> 00:36:00,560 Speaker 1: PA stuff. JC Tretter Brown's Center has been named the 742 00:36:00,600 --> 00:36:04,680 Speaker 1: new president of the nfl PA. Russell Kung was nominated, 743 00:36:04,719 --> 00:36:08,239 Speaker 1: but he turned it down. JC Treder then stepped in 744 00:36:08,320 --> 00:36:11,399 Speaker 1: and he will be the new NFLPA president for Eric 745 00:36:11,480 --> 00:36:15,359 Speaker 1: Winston and that I think it will take place as 746 00:36:15,360 --> 00:36:17,560 Speaker 1: we get into the twenty twenty league year. Now. Eric 747 00:36:17,600 --> 00:36:22,239 Speaker 1: has been working a ton on this new CBA and 748 00:36:22,320 --> 00:36:25,160 Speaker 1: we actually saw him in the airport had Harry and 749 00:36:25,200 --> 00:36:27,320 Speaker 1: Izzy's along way to Morris Smith with Mark. That was 750 00:36:27,360 --> 00:36:29,440 Speaker 1: kind of cool to see what they had going on, 751 00:36:29,480 --> 00:36:31,160 Speaker 1: and of course they were just working their tails off, 752 00:36:31,200 --> 00:36:33,120 Speaker 1: and this is kind of interesting to go those are 753 00:36:33,400 --> 00:36:35,959 Speaker 1: two of the most important men in the NFL world 754 00:36:36,040 --> 00:36:37,640 Speaker 1: right now. Just to see them kind of having lunch 755 00:36:37,640 --> 00:36:41,200 Speaker 1: where we were was kind of neat. Now the coronavirus, 756 00:36:41,200 --> 00:36:46,040 Speaker 1: Oh good god, here we go. This thing is canceling 757 00:36:47,960 --> 00:36:51,080 Speaker 1: events all over the country. We've already talked about south 758 00:36:51,120 --> 00:36:55,640 Speaker 1: By Southwest. The cancelation of that cost fifty eight people 759 00:36:55,760 --> 00:36:57,640 Speaker 1: jobs and I just hate that for the people who lost, 760 00:36:57,719 --> 00:37:00,320 Speaker 1: and because if you just think about Marquis Vance in 761 00:37:00,480 --> 00:37:02,520 Speaker 1: various cities. Do you think about Houston, think about the Rodeo. 762 00:37:02,719 --> 00:37:05,839 Speaker 1: When you think about the Rodeo were canceled. Now take 763 00:37:05,920 --> 00:37:08,440 Speaker 1: that to south By Southwest and that's canceled. I mean, 764 00:37:08,480 --> 00:37:11,600 Speaker 1: it's just a massive hit to those localities. And of 765 00:37:11,600 --> 00:37:14,080 Speaker 1: course they would hurt Houston and hurt Austin. So this 766 00:37:14,920 --> 00:37:21,400 Speaker 1: coronavirus has just really taken hold, and we'll see what happens. 767 00:37:21,520 --> 00:37:22,960 Speaker 1: I know there are a lot of schools that are 768 00:37:22,960 --> 00:37:26,120 Speaker 1: considering going online learning. I know there have been universities 769 00:37:26,160 --> 00:37:29,560 Speaker 1: that have already gone to this throughout the country, not 770 00:37:29,680 --> 00:37:33,200 Speaker 1: just in the pack Northwest, not just Italy. The entire 771 00:37:33,200 --> 00:37:38,400 Speaker 1: country is seemingly shut down. The NFL obviously has impacted 772 00:37:38,440 --> 00:37:42,960 Speaker 1: as well. They have their league meetings coming up at 773 00:37:42,960 --> 00:37:45,080 Speaker 1: the end of March. March twenty nine, three April first, 774 00:37:45,080 --> 00:37:48,040 Speaker 1: and that's down at Palm Beach, Florida. They also have 775 00:37:49,560 --> 00:37:52,120 Speaker 1: the draft that is going to be in Las Vegas 776 00:37:52,200 --> 00:37:56,200 Speaker 1: from the twenty third through the twenty fifth. And now 777 00:37:56,239 --> 00:37:57,880 Speaker 1: I've never been a league because I've never been in 778 00:37:57,920 --> 00:38:00,560 Speaker 1: the draft, but being involved in the draft here, I 779 00:38:00,680 --> 00:38:02,279 Speaker 1: know what goes out to those various cities and how 780 00:38:02,280 --> 00:38:04,600 Speaker 1: crazy it is. Drew goes each year when we have 781 00:38:04,600 --> 00:38:06,560 Speaker 1: a first round pick. He goes each year to those 782 00:38:06,640 --> 00:38:12,840 Speaker 1: locations and it's just crazy town. I mean just crazy, 783 00:38:13,800 --> 00:38:17,239 Speaker 1: and it's a lot of work that they've got to 784 00:38:17,320 --> 00:38:20,400 Speaker 1: do and it isn't done overnight for the draft in particular. 785 00:38:20,480 --> 00:38:23,160 Speaker 1: Now league meetings a little different, but you got groups 786 00:38:23,200 --> 00:38:27,879 Speaker 1: of people coming together. As such. The plans for both 787 00:38:27,920 --> 00:38:33,920 Speaker 1: of those events are to go forward and have those events. 788 00:38:34,080 --> 00:38:37,520 Speaker 1: They remain in place and the keywords are for now, 789 00:38:38,000 --> 00:38:44,360 Speaker 1: Ryan McCarthy, league spokesman, said in a statement the Adam 790 00:38:44,400 --> 00:38:48,440 Speaker 1: Schefter ESPN. He added that the plans could change based 791 00:38:48,440 --> 00:38:51,840 Speaker 1: on the advice they're getting from the World Health Organization WHO, 792 00:38:52,080 --> 00:38:55,000 Speaker 1: the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the NFL 793 00:38:55,040 --> 00:39:00,279 Speaker 1: SLASH nflpa's medical experts. At the Duke Infection Control Reach 794 00:39:00,480 --> 00:39:03,040 Speaker 1: Network aka DIKON. At least that's why I'm calling it. 795 00:39:03,120 --> 00:39:05,640 Speaker 1: McCarthy said. We will continue to monitor and share guidance 796 00:39:05,640 --> 00:39:10,239 Speaker 1: as a situation warrants as our experts recommend. Now, I 797 00:39:10,280 --> 00:39:13,600 Speaker 1: saw that earlier this morning, and then it was about 798 00:39:14,440 --> 00:39:17,520 Speaker 1: four hours three hours later that I saw that the 799 00:39:17,560 --> 00:39:21,359 Speaker 1: IVY League canceled this basketball tournament. Like, oh man, So 800 00:39:21,719 --> 00:39:26,239 Speaker 1: this is going to be a fluid situation, to say 801 00:39:26,280 --> 00:39:30,239 Speaker 1: the least, as far as what the league is going 802 00:39:30,280 --> 00:39:35,280 Speaker 1: to do with two huge and marquee events. Now, because 803 00:39:35,440 --> 00:39:40,120 Speaker 1: of what's been going on with the CBA, the CBA 804 00:39:40,200 --> 00:39:43,360 Speaker 1: deadline was pushed for the players to vote. It was 805 00:39:43,400 --> 00:39:46,120 Speaker 1: supposed to be I think Thursday. They moved it now 806 00:39:46,360 --> 00:39:50,399 Speaker 1: till Saturday. It was Saturday, A moving it to I'm 807 00:39:50,400 --> 00:39:54,759 Speaker 1: sorry they moved to Saturdays. That means that the franchise 808 00:39:54,880 --> 00:40:01,759 Speaker 1: tag deadline has also been pushed. So with the CBA 809 00:40:02,040 --> 00:40:04,480 Speaker 1: waiting to get all those votes in from the players, 810 00:40:04,760 --> 00:40:08,360 Speaker 1: they've delayed that. They've decided to push the franchise tag deadline. 811 00:40:08,360 --> 00:40:10,640 Speaker 1: It was supposed to be the twelfth, It is now 812 00:40:10,719 --> 00:40:15,920 Speaker 1: being pushed back to Monday until eleven fifty nine fifty 813 00:40:15,960 --> 00:40:20,239 Speaker 1: nine am Monday, they decide whether they want to use 814 00:40:20,239 --> 00:40:23,520 Speaker 1: the franchise or and or transition tag, so you have 815 00:40:23,560 --> 00:40:26,800 Speaker 1: two tags that you could possibly use. The nfl PA's 816 00:40:26,880 --> 00:40:31,239 Speaker 1: voting window on the new CBA goes until Saturday. The 817 00:40:31,280 --> 00:40:33,640 Speaker 1: franchise tag will then go a couple of days beyond 818 00:40:33,640 --> 00:40:37,440 Speaker 1: that to Monday. The legal tampering period for free agents 819 00:40:37,480 --> 00:40:43,680 Speaker 1: begins at noon on Monday, so the franchise tag deadline 820 00:40:43,719 --> 00:40:47,600 Speaker 1: goes right up to noon.

A couple other key pieces, Graham Glasgow 835 00:41:51,880 --> 00:41:54,000 Speaker 1: doesn't expect to be back with the Lions. That was 836 00:41:54,000 --> 00:41:56,640 Speaker 1: a guy we did one of our Wednesday drafts. I 837 00:41:56,719 --> 00:42:00,160 Speaker 1: thought maybe a good looking free agent. Here's another want 838 00:42:00,160 --> 00:42:02,360 Speaker 1: to keep an eye on. Gabe Jackson, guard for the Raiders. 839 00:42:02,760 --> 00:42:05,960 Speaker 1: Pretty good player. He does, not having a guaranteed money 840 00:42:06,040 --> 00:42:08,680 Speaker 1: left in this contract, and he's at nine point three 841 00:42:08,680 --> 00:42:11,399 Speaker 1: to five million dollars, which actually I want to say 842 00:42:11,400 --> 00:42:14,279 Speaker 1: it's peanuts, but considering what some guys Jill dude, he's 843 00:42:14,320 --> 00:42:16,640 Speaker 1: gonna go from aout fifteen or sixteen million per So 844 00:42:16,800 --> 00:42:19,600 Speaker 1: Glasgow and Jackson may not be bad options if the 845 00:42:19,640 --> 00:42:25,440 Speaker 1: Texans have an offensive line free agent in their sights. 846 00:42:25,440 --> 00:42:29,800 Speaker 1: A big thanks to everybody.
