Speaker 1: Right, exactly, small monthly fee exactly.

Speaker 1: Know it pretty you know it pretty well? Yeah, okay, uh.

17
00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:50,640
Speaker 2: I present to you a scenario or a thought, and

18
00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:56,080
Speaker 2: I give you two options, sometimes three, but two, and

19
00:00:56,120 --> 00:00:58,120
Speaker 2: then you have to decide, you have to explain yourself,

20
00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:01,000
Speaker 2: and then I give you thumbs up down depending on

21
00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:02,200
Speaker 2: I really don't but Eddie.

22
00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:07,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, So here we go. It's gonna start with running back.

23
00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:13,199
Speaker 2: You hate to face the most in the AFC South.

24
00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:17,839
Speaker 1: In twenty twenty three. Maybe not before I see, maybe

25
00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:18,520
Speaker 1: not after.

26
00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:22,080
Speaker 2: See where you're going here, Johnny, But right now, Okay,

27
00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:27,480
Speaker 2: it's a three headed monster. Derrick Henry Titans, Jon the

28
00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:35,080
Speaker 2: Taylor Colts or Travis Etn Jaguars. Which one would you

29
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:38,480
Speaker 2: rather not face? In twenty twenty three?

30
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:42,039
Speaker 4: Ooh gosh, you know, didn't ETN have a really good

31
00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:44,200
Speaker 4: game against the I don't like that.

32
00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:47,360
Speaker 1: I don't like that about him. Gashed us had a

33
00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:49,920
Speaker 1: good game. I did not like that at all.

34
00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:52,560
Speaker 4: I did not like seeing that because that was I'm

35
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:56,240
Speaker 4: not gonna call it an unexpected development for them last year,

36
00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:58,880
Speaker 4: but it was an unwelcome development.

37
00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:01,240
Speaker 2: That's a good way of putting, because he welcome. He

38
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:02,760
Speaker 2: was hurt his rookie year.

39
00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:06,240
Speaker 4: And then he goes for one oh eight on hold

40
00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:11,720
Speaker 4: on folks, nine carries, nine carries for one eight Johnny.

41
00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:13,160
Speaker 1: I knew it was bad. I knew it was bad.

42
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:15,080
Speaker 4: I didn't know it was had he had a sixty

43
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:19,079
Speaker 4: two yard so that that helps the yard per carry average.

44
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:21,960
Speaker 4: And if I'm Sean Pendergast, I'm adding up the other

45
00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:25,520
Speaker 4: eight carries and dividing it by let's see what it's

46
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:28,839
Speaker 4: a lot of yards per carry. Still, yeah, okay, it's eight.

47
00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:32,640
Speaker 4: It's too many. We don't like kefy six yards to carry,

48
00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:35,720
Speaker 4: not one little bit. So I'm gonna say it's not

49
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:40,920
Speaker 4: etn though it's probably I'm gonna say it's Jonathan Taylor. Okay,

50
00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:45,120
Speaker 4: not that I'm I'm fine with Derrick Henry now not

51
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:48,720
Speaker 4: a problem anymore. No, he's always a problem, Johnny Dereck

52
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:51,800
Speaker 4: Henry is still a nightmare, and it's gonna take me

53
00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:54,680
Speaker 4: a long time to get over it. Because his last

54
00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:59,000
Speaker 4: game against the Texans, Houston held him below two hundred yards.

55
00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:02,120
Speaker 4: Now we hung up a banner. No we didn't, but

56
00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:03,359
Speaker 4: if we were the Colts.

57
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:03,960
Speaker 1: We would have.

58
00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:07,200
Speaker 2: We should have after the four times before that, because

59
00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:09,600
Speaker 2: he had that big run against us and I thought,

60
00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:10,720
Speaker 2: oh no, here we go again.

61
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:13,360
Speaker 1: And ye from that point forward, Yeah, it was. It

62
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:16,840
Speaker 1: was good that forty eight yard run, right, Yeah.

63
00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:18,600
Speaker 4: And the rest of the day you kind of he

64
00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:21,120
Speaker 4: had gashes and he had runs, but you held him

65
00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:23,040
Speaker 4: in check relative to who he is.

66
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:24,280
Speaker 1: Right And on a day.

67
00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:26,959
Speaker 4: When Malik Willis is playing, you feel a whole lot

68
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:30,160
Speaker 4: better about the situation. When you're getting a lot of

69
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:33,200
Speaker 4: third down opportunities on defense, and that's exactly what the

70
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:34,320
Speaker 4: Texans did on Christmas.

71
00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:36,600
Speaker 1: Even Nashville won that game that way.

72
00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:40,120
Speaker 4: So maybe I shouldn't speak too soon because Henry's still

73
00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:44,280
Speaker 4: a terror and boy banner hanging. Last year, I hung

74
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:48,240
Speaker 4: up a banner for stop mahone banner stopped Mahomes in overtime.

75
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:49,120
Speaker 1: That was one banner.

76
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:52,560
Speaker 4: I hung up yeah and held Derrick Henry below one

77
00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:56,240
Speaker 4: hundred and fifty yards, that was another banner. But I'm

78
00:03:56,280 --> 00:04:00,840
Speaker 4: gonna say it's Taylor because Taylor back fresh, Colts, re juvenated,

79
00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:07,880
Speaker 4: Shane Steikn, whatever he cooks up, Anthony Richardson being concerned

80
00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:10,840
Speaker 4: about what he can offer, or if it's Minshew or whatever.

81
00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:14,000
Speaker 4: I'm kind of selling myself on Taylor here. Boy, this

82
00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:18,400
Speaker 4: division is really running back with Henry Etn, Damian Pierce

83
00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:21,920
Speaker 4: and Jonathan Taylor. It's a good running back division, maybe

84
00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:22,880
Speaker 4: the best in the league.

85
00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:25,839
Speaker 1: And I would say it's Taylor. I mean, if you

86
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:28,040
Speaker 1: go a step deeper, Ty J.

87
00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:32,920
Speaker 2: Spears are the Titans, Zach Moss with the Colts, Devin

88
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:38,280
Speaker 2: Singletary with the Texans. I miss seven legit, dudes that

89
00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:41,000
Speaker 2: if Spears pans out, that's gonna be a problem in Tennessee,

90
00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:43,960
Speaker 2: but we all know obviously revolves Roun Dereck Henry. Okay,

91
00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:47,080
Speaker 2: at the end of twenty twenty three.

92
00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:49,920
Speaker 4: Oh, by the way, one thing, let me interrupt you. Okay,

93
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:52,560
Speaker 4: you mentioned Zach Moss. Do you remember what he had

94
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:54,360
Speaker 4: against the Texans on closing day?

95
00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:56,640
Speaker 1: Oh? I think he had like thirteen broken tackles. I

96
00:04:56,680 --> 00:04:57,280
Speaker 1: know that he.

97
00:04:57,320 --> 00:05:01,560
Speaker 4: Had one hundred and fourteen yards on eighteen carry. You

98
00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:05,320
Speaker 4: think the run defense in the division it's a little

99
00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:08,000
Speaker 4: tough last year. I love what Demiko said yesterday when

100
00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:10,360
Speaker 4: he was asked about last year's run defense or whatever.

101
00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:14,320
Speaker 4: Last year? What is I was in San Francisco, So

102
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:17,479
Speaker 4: what does last year have to do with anything? Jimmy

103
00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:19,600
Speaker 4: Ward about last year's Texans run defense?

104
00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:22,320
Speaker 1: You could tell he was withholding a chuckle to like

105
00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:24,480
Speaker 1: that has nothing to do with anything.

106
00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:26,160
Speaker 4: I get it because you and I are going to

107
00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:29,520
Speaker 4: talk about this how they've improved. Yeah, but different personnel,

108
00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:32,320
Speaker 4: different coaching staff and everything. Dimiko doesn't care what they

109
00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:34,159
Speaker 4: did last year. I don't even know if he's looking.

110
00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:37,440
Speaker 4: He's probably looking at individual performances last year of guys

111
00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:40,680
Speaker 4: who were still on this squad. But and yeah, he

112
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:42,640
Speaker 4: probably is looking at some of those stats, but he

113
00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:44,480
Speaker 4: doesn't want to talk about it because this is a

114
00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:45,160
Speaker 4: new beginning.

115
00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:50,200
Speaker 2: You can't you you can't reference last year to this year.

116
00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:54,000
Speaker 1: It's just not wise. It's just not wise.

117
00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:56,240
Speaker 2: And everybody would be asking, hey, what's the difference, and

118
00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:59,120
Speaker 2: I get it now, like asking a question now, But

119
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:02,320
Speaker 2: once you kind of that kind of thing of hey,

120
00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:03,400
Speaker 2: how is this gonna be different?

121
00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:04,800
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know what last year.

122
00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:06,400
Speaker 2: I mean, I know what last year looked like, but

123
00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:08,640
Speaker 2: I don't know the Dimiko's kind of withholding a chuckle

124
00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:09,080
Speaker 2: with that one.

125
00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:10,520
Speaker 1: But either way, all right.

126
00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:12,440
Speaker 2: Let's move on to this one. At the end of

127
00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:15,359
Speaker 2: twenty twenty three, that's the season we got coming up.

128
00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:19,120
Speaker 2: But yeah, at the end of twenty twenty three, the

129
00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:25,599
Speaker 2: best receiver in the AFC South will be either Michael Pittman.

130
00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:28,520
Speaker 1: Or Calvin Ridley.

131
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:30,760
Speaker 2: Michael Pittman with the Colts, Calvin Ridley and the Jags

132
00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:32,000
Speaker 2: is the only two options you have.

133
00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:33,799
Speaker 1: Now, it might be somebody else completely.

134
00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:37,320
Speaker 2: Treylon Burks might go off, you know, a Texans receiver

135
00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:40,520
Speaker 2: might like Nico Collins might catch one hundred and eighty passes.

136
00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:44,120
Speaker 2: I'm just saying end of twenty twenty three, the two

137
00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:46,599
Speaker 2: options you have as the best receiver in the AFC

138
00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:50,520
Speaker 2: South Calvin Ridley, who hasn't played since twenty twenty one,

139
00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:53,000
Speaker 2: like midway through twenty twenty one. So you suspended all

140
00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:57,800
Speaker 2: last year, then traded the Jags Michael Pittman, who now

141
00:06:57,880 --> 00:06:59,640
Speaker 2: has to live life with Anthony Richardson.

142
00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:03,120
Speaker 1: And how does that play a role Pittman, Either Pittman

143
00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:05,799
Speaker 1: or Ridley. It's Pitman, It's Pittman.

144
00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:09,400
Speaker 4: Ridley's best season was twenty twenty the COVID year ninety

145
00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:12,400
Speaker 4: catches for one forty three. Can he get back to that?

146
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:16,680
Speaker 4: I would say, Look, he's got the quarterback to help

147
00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:17,280
Speaker 4: him get there.

148
00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:17,640
Speaker 1: Yeah.

149
00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:19,520
Speaker 4: And we just talked about their running game, some of

150
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:22,040
Speaker 4: the other weapons they have, ingram the tight end. In

151
00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:24,560
Speaker 4: other words, the more weapons you have, the more likely

152
00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:28,840
Speaker 4: you are to have opportunities one on one whatever. I

153
00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:32,280
Speaker 4: don't know, Johnny, I don't know. I think Pittman. I

154
00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:35,160
Speaker 4: think they're gonna design enough stuff for Pittman. I am

155
00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:39,000
Speaker 4: not here. Look, I will not buy in to the

156
00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:44,000
Speaker 4: Colts just being horrible. I'm not gonna do it. Yeah,

157
00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:48,160
Speaker 4: they will not be ignored. Dan they're the Colts. They're

158
00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:51,000
Speaker 4: gonna find a way to try to make at least

159
00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:54,600
Speaker 4: attempt to make my life miserable, because that's what they do.

160
00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:57,720
Speaker 4: They've always done it. It's death and taxes. The Colts

161
00:07:57,760 --> 00:07:59,760
Speaker 4: find a way. They've done it to the tune of,

162
00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:03,480
Speaker 4: you know what, here's what we're gonna do to torment you, Vandermere.

163
00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:07,640
Speaker 4: We're gonna not We're gonna not beat the Texans in

164
00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:11,600
Speaker 4: twenty twenty two. The Texans will not lose to the Colts,

165
00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:15,720
Speaker 4: yet you will still not feel satisfied. That's how we

166
00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:18,720
Speaker 4: will torment you. What how will that happen? This is

167
00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:20,720
Speaker 4: me prior to twenty twenty two, and then I find

168
00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:24,800
Speaker 4: out later there's a tie, and then there's a win

169
00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:27,880
Speaker 4: for the Texans, where if you lost, you would have

170
00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:29,840
Speaker 4: had the number one pick. But I'm never gonna be

171
00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:32,000
Speaker 4: disappointed in a win. We've got over this material a lot.

172
00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:34,560
Speaker 4: But that's just the Colts and a nutshell for you.

173
00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:37,640
Speaker 4: They always fired a way to make me miserable, and

174
00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:40,319
Speaker 4: I'm hoping they don't this year. Let's see if we

175
00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:42,240
Speaker 4: could sweep them like we did in twenty sixteen.

176
00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:46,520
Speaker 2: I've heard Landry's mentioned this about Calvin Ridley, and I

177
00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:51,360
Speaker 2: think that is a it was that was a savvy

178
00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:55,840
Speaker 2: move by Trent Balki. That was a really really savage

179
00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:59,440
Speaker 2: move to pull that out. That's a futures move right there.

180
00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:03,440
Speaker 4: That's like buying frozen concentrated orange juice at a low price,

181
00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:06,120
Speaker 4: right and thinking that the price is going to go

182
00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:07,600
Speaker 4: up and we'll see if it does.

183
00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:10,880
Speaker 2: Oh okay, So along those lines, you kind of brought

184
00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:19,520
Speaker 2: it up. Scariest movie character Alex Forrest, Glenn Close and

185
00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:24,960
Speaker 2: Fatal Attraction or Annie Wilkes who was Kathy Bates in

186
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:25,920
Speaker 2: the movie Misery.

187
00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:28,719
Speaker 1: Oh, Kathy Bates is scarier.

188
00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:32,880
Speaker 2: Are you sure there was some mental anguish that Alex

189
00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:34,920
Speaker 2: Forrest put put Dan through.

190
00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:36,960
Speaker 1: This is kind of like when you're picking.

191
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:40,880
Speaker 4: He deserved it, He deserved it. This is Lebron and Michael.

192
00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:43,280
Speaker 4: Just because you like one doesn't mean you think the

193
00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:47,400
Speaker 4: other guy sucks. Right. Just because you you think Kathy

194
00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:51,240
Speaker 4: Bates and Misery is a lot scarier than Glenn Close

195
00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:53,800
Speaker 4: and Fatal Attraction, it does not mean you think Glenn

196
00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:55,800
Speaker 4: Close and Fatal Attraction is a dream date.

197
00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:56,679
Speaker 1: True.

198
00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:59,280
Speaker 4: I get that, but at least there was some dream

199
00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:01,880
Speaker 4: date moments early on.

200
00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:05,559
Speaker 1: I mean, the beginning went well. I think, I don't know,

201
00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:08,920
Speaker 1: maybe not. I'll watch it now. You know there's that podcast,

202
00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:09,760
Speaker 1: the Rewatchables.

203
00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:14,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, so if you rewatch Fatal Attraction and know what's coming,

204
00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:16,040
Speaker 4: it's not enjoyable at all.

205
00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:17,560
Speaker 1: No, it's not, you know.

206
00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:20,320
Speaker 2: And even if they're redoing it, they're redoing it.

207
00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:23,200
Speaker 4: Ses yes, series yet I have not seen. I don't

208
00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:25,120
Speaker 4: know how they changed it. Do they have too many

209
00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:28,000
Speaker 4: boiling rabbits going. I don't know what they're doing, but

210
00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:31,880
Speaker 4: I think Kathy Bates misery and folks who haven't seen it,

211
00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:33,640
Speaker 4: oh my gosh, it's so bad.

212
00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:38,720
Speaker 1: He's trapped, he's injured. There's no way out.

213
00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:42,600
Speaker 4: With Glenn close, you feel like, actually, there's not a

214
00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:45,319
Speaker 4: good way out of that except for what finally helpened.

215
00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:49,320
Speaker 1: The bathtub. That's what the colts are too.

216
00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:52,160
Speaker 4: They're coming out of the bathtub. You think they're dead,

217
00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:55,960
Speaker 4: and then they they bounce out of the bathtub like

218
00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:57,920
Speaker 4: Mahomes or Brady or one of those guys.

219
00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:02,800
Speaker 2: Uh. Fatal Attraction deep dive reimagining of the classic eighties thriller,

220
00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:05,760
Speaker 2: exploring timeless themes of marriage and infidelity through lens of

221
00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:10,000
Speaker 2: modern attitudes towards strong women, personality disorders, and co course

222
00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:10,600
Speaker 2: of control.

223
00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:13,240
Speaker 1: That is going to be a mind bender.

224
00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:16,480
Speaker 2: That there's a lot in that little previous sentence, but

225
00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:19,120
Speaker 2: fatal attracts. Yeah, what you said, I'm not I will

226
00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:22,640
Speaker 2: not be ignored, Dan, I got that movie is just

227
00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:25,600
Speaker 2: ah And now they're making a TV series.

228
00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:30,240
Speaker 4: Speaking of She's calling him at the office and the receptionist, well,

229
00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:32,240
Speaker 4: it's his administrative assistant.

230
00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:33,640
Speaker 1: She's on the phone again.

231
00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:36,600
Speaker 4: He's like, tell her I'm not here, and so obviously

232
00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:41,959
Speaker 4: she's already an accomplice almost in his right wrongdoing. And

233
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:44,959
Speaker 4: it's just the plot gets so thick, and Herman Munster

234
00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:48,360
Speaker 4: is in it. Fred Wynn plays his boss in that movie.

235
00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:51,760
Speaker 2: Way yeah, because he played he played the judge in.

236
00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:54,040
Speaker 1: My Cousin Vinie, My cousin Vinnie. Yeah.

237
00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:56,600
Speaker 2: Oh man, he has some good roles outside of being

238
00:11:56,640 --> 00:11:57,160
Speaker 2: Herman Munster.

239
00:11:57,280 --> 00:11:59,760
Speaker 1: I mean vander Kidd two, the ten year old.

240
00:11:59,840 --> 00:12:03,240
Speaker 4: I've been showing him classic TV series right, Yeah, So

241
00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:06,160
Speaker 4: the one that plays the best for him is Gilligan's Island.

242
00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:10,800
Speaker 4: It's just zany funny. Yeah, you can identify he can

243
00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:13,160
Speaker 4: identify with Gilly I guess I don't.

244
00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:15,160
Speaker 2: Know, but you get to haul up globe trotters coming

245
00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:16,600
Speaker 2: to town or coming to the island.

246
00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:19,040
Speaker 1: Did they come to the island? Yeah? I think it

247
00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:22,120
Speaker 1: was a little later in the run the globe tutters. Yeah.

248
00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:23,640
Speaker 4: I think it was one of the game on the islands,

249
00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:26,000
Speaker 4: made for TV movies later or something.

250
00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:27,560
Speaker 1: I don't know. I think they were on the island

251
00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:30,440
Speaker 1: during the show. But okay, I'll look it up. It's funny.

252
00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:33,200
Speaker 1: Asked now how they put the whole thing together? Anyway,

253
00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:33,440
Speaker 1: go on.

254
00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:36,040
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, Ginger and Marianne. I should ask that, but

255
00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:37,720
Speaker 2: that that'll be a question for either.

256
00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:40,160
Speaker 4: Or Ginger or Mary. I'm telling you, though, you know

257
00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:42,120
Speaker 4: what I forgot about or that could go on forever. Okay,

258
00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:44,000
Speaker 4: you know what I forgot about that? Just since we're

259
00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:48,080
Speaker 4: on the subject. Marianne, in my memory, I thought she

260
00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:51,440
Speaker 4: was really girl next door, very cute, but girl next

261
00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:56,720
Speaker 4: door type. Marianne is blazing hot. Okay, Marianne is short

262
00:12:56,840 --> 00:13:01,360
Speaker 4: shorts and it's she's the same thing in fact, isn't there.

263
00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:04,560
Speaker 4: I think there's a later movie where she plays the

264
00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:05,640
Speaker 4: Ginger part.

265
00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:07,120
Speaker 1: Really yeah.

266
00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:10,760
Speaker 4: It came out years after injury, and she's perfectly capable

267
00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:11,000
Speaker 4: of it.

268
00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:12,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, there it is.

269
00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:14,520
Speaker 4: Maybe she did in the animated one, she did her

270
00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:16,760
Speaker 4: voice or something like that. There's something about Marianne and

271
00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:19,440
Speaker 4: Ginger and there's that one episode where she poses.

272
00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:20,600
Speaker 1: As Ginger and she does a fine job.

273
00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:23,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, marian Ginger could create I mean there are probably

274
00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:25,360
Speaker 2: some out there going what related?

275
00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:28,840
Speaker 4: No, no, they can dated reference, but it is dated.

276
00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:31,040
Speaker 4: But I think people have looked back on that. It's

277
00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:35,439
Speaker 4: it's popular enough. It's almost like pop culture scripture that

278
00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:37,319
Speaker 4: passes the test of time.

279
00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:41,079
Speaker 2: Right I I, Oh, that's a good one. What TV

280
00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:44,079
Speaker 2: shows and movies have transcended time?

281
00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:45,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, James Bond interesting?

282
00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:51,079
Speaker 2: Okay, this one about the Texans and NAFC South Okay, wit,

283
00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:52,839
Speaker 2: this is This will be a tough one.

284
00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:53,240
Speaker 1: Okay.

285
00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:59,959
Speaker 2: Which twenty twenty two first round pick of the Textans

286
00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:04,640
Speaker 2: will be the most improved player on the team, either

287
00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:06,959
Speaker 2: Derek Stingley Junior or Kenyon Green?

288
00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:10,760
Speaker 4: All right, I think the easy answer is Stingley. However,

289
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:13,800
Speaker 4: I think Stingley played pretty well last year. He just

290
00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:16,520
Speaker 4: wasn't available at the end of the year, and I

291
00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:20,480
Speaker 4: think the way the defense was set up it didn't

292
00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:23,000
Speaker 4: showcase him. Right, Yeah, it's a better way. I'm saying

293
00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:24,920
Speaker 4: it for lack of a better way of putting it.

294
00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:27,720
Speaker 4: But I think Kenyon Green is going to really improve

295
00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:29,200
Speaker 4: a lot this year. And he's got to get healthy.

296
00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:30,920
Speaker 4: We all know that he's got to get healthy. And

297
00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:33,040
Speaker 4: the Miko gave an update on him yesterday saying he's

298
00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:35,560
Speaker 4: progressing or whatever he said. And I know we have

299
00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:39,400
Speaker 4: some time here, Johnny, but we're two months away from camp.

300
00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:44,000
Speaker 4: That goes fast, really fast. I don't care what you're

301
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:46,240
Speaker 4: doing or not doing well. I do care, but the

302
00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:49,640
Speaker 4: point is this two months will fly by, so anybody

303
00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:54,040
Speaker 4: I'll be ready for camp. Okay. Two months ago was

304
00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:57,520
Speaker 4: the owner's meetings. Two months from now is training camp.

305
00:14:57,840 --> 00:14:59,600
Speaker 4: You've got to figure out a way to get on

306
00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:04,200
Speaker 4: the field and make an impact. And assuming he can,

307
00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:06,800
Speaker 4: I think he'll naturally get better this system, the way

308
00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:08,880
Speaker 4: they coach, the old line, I think he'll fit in

309
00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:09,440
Speaker 4: just fine.

310
00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:11,040
Speaker 1: I like the way you put that.

311
00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:14,680
Speaker 2: I do think that it's often thought that oh, Sting

312
00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:15,720
Speaker 2: didn't play very well.

313
00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:17,240
Speaker 1: No, I don't think that was the case. I mean

314
00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:18,960
Speaker 1: I thought I thought Sing played fine.

315
00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:21,960
Speaker 2: Now that second game against the Broncos, you know Courtland

316
00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:23,840
Speaker 2: Suton got him a few times. Is Courton Suton's done

317
00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:26,120
Speaker 2: until a lot of a lot of really good defensive backs.

318
00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:29,840
Speaker 2: I got you put it that way because I think

319
00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:32,720
Speaker 2: he played. When he played, I thought he was I

320
00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:34,840
Speaker 2: thought he was solid. But that second half of the

321
00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:39,240
Speaker 2: season where for rookie you typically see that growth and

322
00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:43,880
Speaker 2: that that rise, if you will, we obviously.

323
00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:45,600
Speaker 1: Didn't get a chance didn't get a chance to see that.

324
00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:49,080
Speaker 2: So yeah, I think Kenyon, I go back to this,

325
00:15:49,160 --> 00:15:52,680
Speaker 2: I said this yesterday on a round table. You could

326
00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:55,760
Speaker 2: all different questions in every question we talk about with

327
00:15:55,800 --> 00:15:58,360
Speaker 2: the Texans and just NFL teams in general, you.

328
00:15:58,400 --> 00:15:59,840
Speaker 1: Just have to couch with but you just got to

329
00:15:59,840 --> 00:16:01,720
Speaker 1: be healthy. You have to be healthy.

330
00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:06,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, and that was that was seen more so I

331
00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:08,160
Speaker 2: thought with Kenyon last year, I felt like he tried

332
00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:12,400
Speaker 2: to play through some things and that I mean it

333
00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:14,160
Speaker 2: was that Las Vegas game where he went out, he

334
00:16:14,200 --> 00:16:15,920
Speaker 2: went back in, He tried to play through it. I

335
00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:18,359
Speaker 2: think there is a level and a degree of toughness

336
00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:22,400
Speaker 2: with him that I absolutely love. It's just a matter

337
00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:25,480
Speaker 2: of now staying healthy so you can. I think, you know,

338
00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:27,680
Speaker 2: bill O Brown is maybe the first one person I

339
00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:29,960
Speaker 2: first coach. I heard say this, but I mean it

340
00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:34,360
Speaker 2: makes logical sense, especially the rookie or young player. Every

341
00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:37,840
Speaker 2: day that they're out there, they're stacking good days, they're

342
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:39,720
Speaker 2: learning something more about their game.

343
00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:41,200
Speaker 1: The game is slowing down for them.

344
00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:44,760
Speaker 2: They're just getting uh, they're getting better and improving by

345
00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:48,560
Speaker 2: the minute. But when you're in and out of the lineup,

346
00:16:48,920 --> 00:16:51,440
Speaker 2: when you're not able to play because you're not healthy,

347
00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:53,840
Speaker 2: then it's starting stop.

348
00:16:53,880 --> 00:16:54,800
Speaker 1: It's like Houston traffic.

349
00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:57,640
Speaker 2: It's like you start, You're like, yeah, and oh, the

350
00:16:57,680 --> 00:16:59,440
Speaker 2: injury slowed me down, and then you got to slow down.

351
00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:00,600
Speaker 1: They got back up.

352
00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:03,800
Speaker 2: It's kind of like that in some sense, and you

353
00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:06,440
Speaker 2: don't want it to be like that in some sense.

354
00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:07,320
Speaker 1: I'm staying here.

355
00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:10,600
Speaker 4: I know a lot of people talk about Sauce, and rightly,

356
00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:15,880
Speaker 4: so Sauce is great, and staying it's not over. It's

357
00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:19,239
Speaker 4: one year, right, right, he got hurt and Johnny who

358
00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:22,320
Speaker 4: is better defensive talent? In twenty twenty two, the Jets

359
00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:26,240
Speaker 4: are the Texans better defensive talent. The Jets were the

360
00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:29,680
Speaker 4: fourth best defense in the league in yards per game.

361
00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:33,159
Speaker 1: Okay, but we got one Jet over here, Seldon Rankins big.

362
00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:36,800
Speaker 4: They were up in total points allowed to. They were

363
00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:39,520
Speaker 4: fourth in the league in scoring d The Jets were

364
00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:42,640
Speaker 4: solid on defense last year. They were in year two

365
00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:45,199
Speaker 4: of that total team rebuild. I know the Texans were

366
00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:47,919
Speaker 4: in year two of Lovey's defensive system. I think the talent,

367
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:51,440
Speaker 4: though on the New York side of things, maybe a

368
00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:54,320
Speaker 4: little bit better than the Texans last year. I think

369
00:17:54,359 --> 00:17:56,960
Speaker 4: this year, the Texans talent, I'm not saying it's better

370
00:17:57,000 --> 00:17:58,960
Speaker 4: than the Jets necessarily, but it's going to be a

371
00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:01,760
Speaker 4: lot better than it was. I think that the system,

372
00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:04,560
Speaker 4: everything's gonna help Sting. You're gonna see a much better

373
00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:06,920
Speaker 4: product out there from him and from the entire unit.

374
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:10,359
Speaker 2: If Quinn Williams, let's just say Quinn Williams were to

375
00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:13,680
Speaker 2: sign with the Texans and not return, say the Jets

376
00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:14,760
Speaker 2: are like, we can't sign them.

377
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:17,000
Speaker 1: Texas like, hey, we got money, we'll sign you. Come on,

378
00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:17,359
Speaker 1: let's go.

379
00:18:17,359 --> 00:18:20,240
Speaker 2: When they work a work a deal, the total talent

380
00:18:20,359 --> 00:18:23,359
Speaker 2: and the overall talent will be better here. Wow, it

381
00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:25,920
Speaker 2: would be there. Quinn Williams can flip that because he

382
00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:27,000
Speaker 2: would be that good.

383
00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:29,480
Speaker 1: They were fourth in the league. I know, I'm not

384
00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:31,359
Speaker 1: saying that they're not, but Quinn Williams is a big

385
00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:31,800
Speaker 1: part of that.

386
00:18:31,880 --> 00:18:32,160
Speaker 5: Wow.

387
00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:35,600
Speaker 2: So now you flip Quinn Williams over here, Ann Rankins

388
00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:38,840
Speaker 2: is already over here. That's fifty percent of the four

389
00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:42,480
Speaker 2: man rotation they had last year, and they were pretty

390
00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:44,280
Speaker 2: good inside, very good inside.

391
00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:45,640
Speaker 1: That's why I got really excited about Rankins.

392
00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:48,000
Speaker 2: So if you flip Quinn Williams, no, I think Quinn

393
00:18:48,040 --> 00:18:52,280
Speaker 2: Williams will go back, but you know, we'll see. Okay,

394
00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:56,359
Speaker 2: we talked about the ricky quarterbacks a lot, so I

395
00:18:56,359 --> 00:19:02,400
Speaker 2: don't think that's too much at issue, But I don't

396
00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:04,320
Speaker 2: know if there's It's hard to say because you got

397
00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:08,600
Speaker 2: two rookie coaches and Shane Styke and Demika Ryan's put

398
00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:14,280
Speaker 2: it this way, who's on a hotter seat, either Mike

399
00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:19,840
Speaker 2: Vrabel or the field in plus in the South, in

400
00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:22,800
Speaker 2: the AFC SOUTHFC South? Is there anybody even close Doug

401
00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:25,880
Speaker 2: Pearson know any of the rookie coaches know.

402
00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:30,960
Speaker 4: As GM in Indianapolis Gem Is that seat getting warm

403
00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:33,840
Speaker 4: if they don't to perform a lot better, even though

404
00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:36,280
Speaker 4: they're in the first year of a coaching.

405
00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:38,480
Speaker 1: Staff, could very well be. Yeah, you never know.

406
00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:42,840
Speaker 4: I think Rabel's seat, Johnny, it's tough because Rabel's such

407
00:19:42,840 --> 00:19:46,360
Speaker 4: a good coach. I know they could go. They could

408
00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:49,919
Speaker 4: go five and twelve. Rabel could get fired. He'd have

409
00:19:49,960 --> 00:19:51,440
Speaker 4: a job in ten minutes.

410
00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:54,159
Speaker 2: Two seconds, Yes, it wouldn't I mean two seconds, right,

411
00:19:54,280 --> 00:19:55,840
Speaker 2: he wouldn't even and I home.

412
00:19:56,040 --> 00:19:58,680
Speaker 1: I hope they messed that up. Yeah, I hope they're

413
00:19:58,720 --> 00:19:59,640
Speaker 1: great to get them out of there.

414
00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:03,440
Speaker 4: They people around the Titans have such respect for Vrabel.

415
00:20:03,560 --> 00:20:07,840
Speaker 4: Now you wonder how it's gonna go with Ran Carthon

416
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:12,359
Speaker 4: and that chemistry between them and ownership and everything, because

417
00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:14,320
Speaker 4: so far it just seems kind of clunky.

418
00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:16,600
Speaker 1: But we don't know. It might be great.

419
00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:19,359
Speaker 4: They might be the surprise team of the division this year,

420
00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:21,840
Speaker 4: and maybe it shouldn't be that much of a surprise

421
00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:23,919
Speaker 4: considering Yeah, I know they were replacing a lot of

422
00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:25,840
Speaker 4: old linemen and some other things. But we just talked

423
00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:28,560
Speaker 4: about Derrick Henry and maybe Tannehill's got enough left to

424
00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:31,760
Speaker 4: turn them into a winning team again. We all talk

425
00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:34,040
Speaker 4: about it. How as bad as it was they were

426
00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:36,359
Speaker 4: playing for the division. In that final game of the season,

427
00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:41,560
Speaker 4: national television fumbled the ball with a fifth string quarterback

428
00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:44,080
Speaker 4: or whatever. Josh Dobbs, we love him, but he fumbled

429
00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:47,480
Speaker 4: the ball and that happened and the Jaguars won. That's

430
00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:50,880
Speaker 4: the other side of this. The Jaguars were that fumble

431
00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:54,720
Speaker 4: and a little extra Tennessee yardage to get into field

432
00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:57,960
Speaker 4: goal territory. Is that what they needed away from not

433
00:20:58,040 --> 00:21:01,440
Speaker 4: making the postseason and that that horrible first half against

434
00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:04,919
Speaker 4: the Chargers. You know, as much as we rave about Lawrence,

435
00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:07,240
Speaker 4: and we should give him his due because that was

436
00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:09,080
Speaker 4: a hell of a comeback in the postseason. I mean,

437
00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:12,480
Speaker 4: my gosh, that's historic stuff. He still threw four picks

438
00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:15,639
Speaker 4: in that game, you know, so good for him to

439
00:21:15,720 --> 00:21:16,439
Speaker 4: overcome it.

440
00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:19,399
Speaker 1: But he threw four picks in that game. I'm not

441
00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:19,880
Speaker 1: here to.

442
00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:22,400
Speaker 4: Say that, Oh, it's Pro Bowls from here on out

443
00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:25,520
Speaker 4: through the rest of eternity for Trevor Lawrence. You know,

444
00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:27,720
Speaker 4: I'm never gonna give him that Johnny and Tie Chiefs

445
00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:28,400
Speaker 4: that I know that.

446
00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:29,480
Speaker 1: So we'll see.

447
00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:32,159
Speaker 4: I think rabel Seed is hot as there's no or

448
00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:36,159
Speaker 4: I mean possibly Chris Ballard in Indianapolis. And that is

449
00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:40,480
Speaker 4: a that's largely due to the unpredictability of ownership, which

450
00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:46,439
Speaker 4: inexplicably assigned Sam Ellinger the starting quarterback quote for the

451
00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:47,960
Speaker 4: rest of the season in.

452
00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:49,600
Speaker 1: Week five or whatever it was.

453
00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:52,040
Speaker 4: I get it, give Ellinger a start, but why do

454
00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:53,800
Speaker 4: you have to announce he's the starting quarterback for the

455
00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:56,159
Speaker 4: rest of the season, and then you ultimately didn't follow

456
00:21:56,200 --> 00:21:58,080
Speaker 4: through with that because he didn't play well enough to

457
00:21:58,119 --> 00:22:02,240
Speaker 4: earn that. They went to nick Fole And it's really

458
00:22:02,280 --> 00:22:05,679
Speaker 4: funny how things have gone in that market and in Nashville.

459
00:22:06,280 --> 00:22:08,760
Speaker 1: This is pretty interesting. The Jacks had a model of stability,

460
00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:10,000
Speaker 1: well kind of.

461
00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:14,280
Speaker 2: So after the bye week last last year, they had

462
00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:17,200
Speaker 2: a big comeback against Baltimore to win twenty eight twenty

463
00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:20,520
Speaker 2: seven at home. Thought they turned a corner. They went

464
00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:24,680
Speaker 2: to Detroit and got hammered. Yeah, forty to fourteen, got blitzed.

465
00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:28,720
Speaker 2: Then they went to Tennessee the next week and that

466
00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:31,600
Speaker 2: was Tennessee starting to slide, beat him by a couple

467
00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:35,040
Speaker 2: of touchdowns. The next week was Dallas. Remember they were

468
00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:37,240
Speaker 2: down big to Dallas and came back.

469
00:22:37,119 --> 00:22:38,680
Speaker 1: Had the bounce of the century.

470
00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:41,359
Speaker 2: Then they got it. But give them credit, right, but

471
00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:43,400
Speaker 2: then they went to the Jets. They faced Zach Wilson,

472
00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:45,719
Speaker 2: they held them three points. Then they played us hell

473
00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:48,080
Speaker 2: those three points. They were impressive in those two games.

474
00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:49,960
Speaker 2: I'll give them, that for sure, But they had to

475
00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:51,520
Speaker 2: come back against the Ravens. They had to come back

476
00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:54,720
Speaker 2: against the Titans. They were down in that game against

477
00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:58,080
Speaker 2: the Titans, too, ended up roaring back, come back against

478
00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:01,080
Speaker 2: the Cowboys, on their deathbed against the Titans, came back

479
00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:04,680
Speaker 2: and won that. On their deathbed again against the Chargers,

480
00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:06,679
Speaker 2: came back and won that. Now, I'm not gonna sit

481
00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:08,560
Speaker 2: here in dispute. The Jacksonville's not the top team in

482
00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:13,160
Speaker 2: division at this point, but I could see. I mean,

483
00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:16,080
Speaker 2: are they a top eight team in the league. They

484
00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:17,840
Speaker 2: might be the best team in the division right now.

485
00:23:17,880 --> 00:23:21,840
Speaker 2: They have the crown. Crown them not for twenty twenty three,

486
00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:24,639
Speaker 2: but for twenty twenty two. They have the crown, but

487
00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:27,600
Speaker 2: it can get knocked off. Yeah, and even if they

488
00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:29,080
Speaker 2: win the division, it doesn't mean they're one of the

489
00:23:29,119 --> 00:23:30,200
Speaker 2: best teams in the league.

490
00:23:30,680 --> 00:23:32,359
Speaker 1: Listen out to their schedules.

491
00:23:33,119 --> 00:23:36,600
Speaker 2: The first half they go eight bye week eight or

492
00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:45,680
Speaker 2: nine at Colts home, Chiefs home, Texans home, Falcons, going

493
00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:49,360
Speaker 2: to London. Oh, I'm sorry, London for the Falcons, then

494
00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:52,760
Speaker 2: London again for the Bills. They come back for Colts

495
00:23:52,760 --> 00:23:55,080
Speaker 2: at home, which they've always beaten. The Colts at New

496
00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:59,119
Speaker 2: Orleans at Pittsburgh. You tack on two London trips in

497
00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:02,520
Speaker 2: the middle of that and road games at New Orleans,

498
00:24:02,560 --> 00:24:03,919
Speaker 2: at Pittsburgh, at Indy.

499
00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:06,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, but they should be a winning team through that.

500
00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:10,480
Speaker 4: I have them losing three in that stretch.

501
00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:14,600
Speaker 2: Then they come out of the bye week. Niners, okay,

502
00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:19,680
Speaker 2: keep going, Titans both those at home at Texans, then

503
00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:25,639
Speaker 2: Cincinnati at home at Cleveland, than home Baltimore at Tampa,

504
00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:27,480
Speaker 2: Carolina at Tennessee.

505
00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:30,560
Speaker 1: To close it, I could see ten and seven, ten

506
00:24:30,600 --> 00:24:33,160
Speaker 1: and seven, that's what I have tenants certainly not over

507
00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:35,080
Speaker 1: eleven and a half. I'll tell you that it's not.

508
00:24:35,240 --> 00:24:37,560
Speaker 1: I'll tell you that it's not. It could be, but

509
00:24:37,600 --> 00:24:41,800
Speaker 1: it could also be worse. Injuries. Whatever this happened.

510
00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:43,560
Speaker 2: That two game London trip, I mean, you don't know

511
00:24:43,560 --> 00:24:45,640
Speaker 2: how that's going to take you. I mean, there's no

512
00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:48,320
Speaker 2: precedent for why no, But if your body's going.

513
00:24:48,320 --> 00:24:50,160
Speaker 1: To go through through all that, if anybody can deal

514
00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:50,800
Speaker 1: with it, they can.

515
00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:53,840
Speaker 4: I guess you'd get that feeling you're right about it,

516
00:24:53,880 --> 00:24:55,720
Speaker 4: and it's I don't want to call it a break,

517
00:24:55,920 --> 00:24:57,639
Speaker 4: but like they said, they'd rather play the Bills in

518
00:24:57,680 --> 00:25:01,320
Speaker 4: London than in Western New York, either London or Western

519
00:25:01,359 --> 00:25:03,240
Speaker 4: New York. But Bill Taffia is gonna go to London.

520
00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:04,879
Speaker 4: They're gonna be Oh, they're gonna be all about it.

521
00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:07,320
Speaker 4: They're gonna empty the piggy bangs. Yeah, they're going to London.

522
00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:09,359
Speaker 1: They're all going to London. There's no question about that.

523
00:25:09,560 --> 00:25:10,359
Speaker 1: Not going to London.

524
00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:12,639
Speaker 2: And Drew Dordy stops by for in the Lab next

525
00:25:12,680 --> 00:25:17,520
Speaker 2: on Texas All Access. What does having flair, well wearing

526
00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:21,119
Speaker 2: pieces of flair have to do with the Houston Texans. Well,

527
00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:24,480
Speaker 2: stick around because we talk about that right here on

528
00:25:24,800 --> 00:25:28,760
Speaker 2: our in Lab podcast with Drew Doerty and myself John Harris.

529
00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:31,320
Speaker 2: Squad you're with me, But we talked mainly about the

530
00:25:31,359 --> 00:25:35,840
Speaker 2: offensive line. On Tuesday, Tamika Ryans said that the offensive

531
00:25:35,840 --> 00:25:42,040
Speaker 2: line might be the strongest unit on the squad, which

532
00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:44,679
Speaker 2: I know people probably heard that went, wait a second,

533
00:25:44,680 --> 00:25:46,760
Speaker 2: I've seen an offensive line. Is it gonna be Yeah,

534
00:25:46,800 --> 00:25:48,960
Speaker 2: it's gonna be better. Drew and I talked about it

535
00:25:49,040 --> 00:25:50,280
Speaker 2: right here on in the Lab.

536
00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:54,160
Speaker 6: We know ta's yesterday, right smack dab in the middle

537
00:25:54,160 --> 00:25:57,280
Speaker 6: of our normal in the Lab talking.

538
00:25:57,040 --> 00:25:59,240
Speaker 5: Time, So let's do it today. On a Wednesday question.

539
00:25:59,280 --> 00:26:01,640
Speaker 6: I like that, Let's do it, and for the first

540
00:26:01,640 --> 00:26:04,720
Speaker 6: time in a long time, it looks like on paper,

541
00:26:04,800 --> 00:26:08,880
Speaker 6: knocking on wood, the Texans have a really good offensive line,

542
00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:11,760
Speaker 6: and the offensive line will be the strength of this team.

543
00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:14,640
Speaker 6: There have been question marks about it for the last decade,

544
00:26:14,760 --> 00:26:17,760
Speaker 6: chunks of the offensive line. Now, you've had a great

545
00:26:17,840 --> 00:26:20,520
Speaker 6: left tackle for the most part in Laramie Tunsel, and

546
00:26:20,680 --> 00:26:22,359
Speaker 6: before him he had Dwayne Brown. But there was a

547
00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:24,360
Speaker 6: stretch in there where you were kind of had having

548
00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:26,600
Speaker 6: to juggle some things cool. There was a stretch in

549
00:26:26,600 --> 00:26:29,159
Speaker 6: there where the interior of the offensive line had some

550
00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:32,760
Speaker 6: question marks and had some flaws. As a fist, you

551
00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:35,920
Speaker 6: have five fingers and a fist. As a fist, sometimes

552
00:26:35,920 --> 00:26:38,320
Speaker 6: that fist lacked a bit of punch, but it looks

553
00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:41,320
Speaker 6: like you've got some thump behind that fist this year.

554
00:26:41,480 --> 00:26:44,119
Speaker 5: Would you agree when you heard.

555
00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:50,760
Speaker 2: Dimika Ryans say that yesterday about the offensive line being

556
00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:52,480
Speaker 2: one of the strongest units on a team.

557
00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:55,199
Speaker 1: I do with Mark a lot. What's your gut reaction

558
00:26:55,280 --> 00:26:55,800
Speaker 1: to hearing that.

559
00:26:56,480 --> 00:26:58,960
Speaker 6: I like that it's in line with what we've seen

560
00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:02,159
Speaker 6: and what we think, and I'm cool with it. I

561
00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:04,280
Speaker 6: mean and kind of going off of what you just

562
00:27:04,359 --> 00:27:06,840
Speaker 6: asked and what I was saying the preamble. I remember

563
00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:10,000
Speaker 6: Lovey Smith unprompted to me last year when we were

564
00:27:10,040 --> 00:27:12,199
Speaker 6: walking onto the practice field at training camp and he

565
00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:14,840
Speaker 6: was about to talk to fans. He saw Titus and

566
00:27:14,880 --> 00:27:18,080
Speaker 6: he saw Laramie walking together and he said, Drew, that's

567
00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:20,879
Speaker 6: probably the best tackle combo in football. I don't. He's like,

568
00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:22,960
Speaker 6: I don't think any other team has a combo at

569
00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:24,440
Speaker 6: tackle that good.

570
00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:26,880
Speaker 5: And that's saying a lot.

571
00:27:27,040 --> 00:27:27,399
Speaker 1: Yeah.

572
00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:29,840
Speaker 6: I mean between them, there were some question marks, there

573
00:27:29,840 --> 00:27:32,320
Speaker 6: were some good play, but you know, I think this

574
00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:35,640
Speaker 6: year going in it's going to be really really fun

575
00:27:35,640 --> 00:27:37,840
Speaker 6: to see. And it's like he said, it should be

576
00:27:37,880 --> 00:27:40,400
Speaker 6: a strength of this ball club, and that's what you need.

577
00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:42,920
Speaker 6: That's what this think about. The best Texans team ever,

578
00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:46,080
Speaker 6: I think it's twenty eleven. Yeah, and that had easily

579
00:27:46,160 --> 00:27:49,080
Speaker 6: the best offensive line in franchise history.

580
00:27:49,160 --> 00:27:51,520
Speaker 2: I think there are a couple of things that aren't

581
00:27:51,800 --> 00:27:54,880
Speaker 2: maybe discussed about the offensive line a lot. I mean

582
00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:58,440
Speaker 2: you mentioned one of them, and that's Titus Howard. I

583
00:27:58,480 --> 00:28:02,919
Speaker 2: think one not often mentioned thing i'l channel Landry and

584
00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:05,879
Speaker 2: John nobody's talking about guy is the fact that Titus

585
00:28:05,920 --> 00:28:09,560
Speaker 2: is playing right tackle for the second year in a row,

586
00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:11,960
Speaker 2: not moving to a different position.

587
00:28:12,040 --> 00:28:13,480
Speaker 1: He's not being bounced around.

588
00:28:14,160 --> 00:28:17,200
Speaker 2: He's got his footwork, he's got his hand placement, all

589
00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:18,840
Speaker 2: that kind of stuff. He knows how to do it

590
00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:21,800
Speaker 2: at right tackle, and he's back at right tackle. I

591
00:28:21,840 --> 00:28:26,240
Speaker 2: think that is huge to his continued progress and Johnny's

592
00:28:26,280 --> 00:28:28,560
Speaker 2: in year five. Yeah, these guys he's still improving year five,

593
00:28:29,280 --> 00:28:31,120
Speaker 2: So I think that's massive.

594
00:28:31,119 --> 00:28:34,000
Speaker 1: The fact that he stays at right tackle.

595
00:28:34,359 --> 00:28:38,800
Speaker 2: Don't move him around even during OTA's when you know

596
00:28:39,080 --> 00:28:41,200
Speaker 2: Laramie was not there, Charlie stepped in a left tackle.

597
00:28:41,200 --> 00:28:42,520
Speaker 1: They didn't moved Titus over there.

598
00:28:42,840 --> 00:28:44,680
Speaker 2: Now they might, They might in a game if they

599
00:28:44,760 --> 00:28:49,440
Speaker 2: have to, but for his continued to improvement and growth,

600
00:28:49,680 --> 00:28:54,240
Speaker 2: leaving him at right tackle huge. Secondly, I don't know

601
00:28:54,280 --> 00:28:56,720
Speaker 2: that enough has been made about Shaq Mason's impact on

602
00:28:56,720 --> 00:29:00,120
Speaker 2: this offensive line at guard. I am not one of

603
00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:04,040
Speaker 2: those I thought Aj Cann was terrible, horrible. I think

604
00:29:04,040 --> 00:29:07,560
Speaker 2: they're different kinds of players, su Aj Cann and Shaq Mason.

605
00:29:08,080 --> 00:29:10,840
Speaker 2: But I think adding Mason obviously signed a contract, is

606
00:29:10,840 --> 00:29:12,320
Speaker 2: going to be here for a little bit. When you

607
00:29:12,360 --> 00:29:15,880
Speaker 2: put Mason next to Titus. Well, you got something there.

608
00:29:16,040 --> 00:29:18,160
Speaker 2: I mean, you really do have something there. So I

609
00:29:18,160 --> 00:29:20,960
Speaker 2: think there's that those two things. I don't know that

610
00:29:21,960 --> 00:29:23,720
Speaker 2: I think part of it from me. I'll be honest.

611
00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:26,800
Speaker 2: Sometimes I forget we traded for Shack Mason. Yeah, so

612
00:29:26,920 --> 00:29:28,920
Speaker 2: let's forget it because we just haven't seen the team.

613
00:29:29,040 --> 00:29:31,960
Speaker 6: It was one of the quiet significant rives, not just

614
00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:34,000
Speaker 6: by this team, but by any team in the sport.

615
00:29:34,200 --> 00:29:35,920
Speaker 2: Here's the third one. I don't know A lot has

616
00:29:35,920 --> 00:29:39,040
Speaker 2: been made of this move. It kind of happened in

617
00:29:39,080 --> 00:29:41,240
Speaker 2: concurrence with a number of other things that are going on.

618
00:29:41,400 --> 00:29:45,560
Speaker 2: Was Michael Dieter coming over from Miami, who has got

619
00:29:45,680 --> 00:29:49,320
Speaker 2: center experience, He's got guard experience. I think more guys

620
00:29:49,360 --> 00:29:52,800
Speaker 2: that you have on a roster that have got significant

621
00:29:53,280 --> 00:29:57,280
Speaker 2: playing experience at whatever position. But if you have that

622
00:29:57,400 --> 00:29:59,040
Speaker 2: versatility to be able to play center or guard, I

623
00:29:59,040 --> 00:30:00,719
Speaker 2: think the addition of Michael Year is going to help

624
00:30:00,760 --> 00:30:03,960
Speaker 2: this line. Whether Deeter starts, whether he's the sixth offensive lineman,

625
00:30:04,040 --> 00:30:06,200
Speaker 2: whatever the case might be. But I feel like those

626
00:30:07,320 --> 00:30:10,960
Speaker 2: those three things, in particular Titus staying at right tackle

627
00:30:11,320 --> 00:30:14,480
Speaker 2: that has been a topic before. Was Ty's gonna play

628
00:30:14,520 --> 00:30:16,400
Speaker 2: right tackle. Well, no, he's a left That's been a

629
00:30:16,440 --> 00:30:18,360
Speaker 2: topic before. Hey just leave my right tackle, leave me

630
00:30:18,440 --> 00:30:20,880
Speaker 2: right tackle. But then once the Texans did, it's like

631
00:30:20,920 --> 00:30:24,040
Speaker 2: everybody quit talking about it because he's now in trance.

632
00:30:24,080 --> 00:30:25,600
Speaker 2: But I think that's gonna make him that much better

633
00:30:25,600 --> 00:30:28,120
Speaker 2: a player. No, by the way, you have arguably the

634
00:30:28,120 --> 00:30:29,960
Speaker 2: best left tackle in the league over on the other side,

635
00:30:29,960 --> 00:30:32,640
Speaker 2: and Laromy Tunsel, who I think will fit this offense

636
00:30:32,680 --> 00:30:33,280
Speaker 2: handy glove.

637
00:30:33,520 --> 00:30:36,240
Speaker 6: Well, you just said something there that's really important. Take

638
00:30:36,320 --> 00:30:39,600
Speaker 6: all the personnel out of it, this offense, this scheme

639
00:30:39,640 --> 00:30:42,440
Speaker 6: that you just kind of mentioned. Yeah, how much does

640
00:30:42,480 --> 00:30:46,080
Speaker 6: it help offensive lineman, especially ones who have been playing

641
00:30:46,080 --> 00:30:48,320
Speaker 6: in the offense that we've seen around here for the

642
00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:49,600
Speaker 6: last eight nine years.

643
00:30:49,840 --> 00:30:50,800
Speaker 1: I think it helps a lot.

644
00:30:50,960 --> 00:30:53,480
Speaker 2: I think the addition of Chris Strausser is the offensive

645
00:30:53,480 --> 00:30:56,720
Speaker 2: line coach, is gonna help a lot. So you add

646
00:30:56,760 --> 00:31:00,000
Speaker 2: in all of that, then you throw in the three

647
00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:03,400
Speaker 2: things in particular that I talked about amongst others. You

648
00:31:03,480 --> 00:31:07,120
Speaker 2: look at it and Demico is probably he's probably saying that,

649
00:31:07,160 --> 00:31:09,040
Speaker 2: and you know, if he were talking to you and now,

650
00:31:09,040 --> 00:31:11,160
Speaker 2: he probably said the same thing. Hey, look this is

651
00:31:11,160 --> 00:31:13,960
Speaker 2: where it was Hey, we had Chris Strausser's offensive line coach.

652
00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:15,000
Speaker 1: Now we've added.

653
00:31:16,320 --> 00:31:18,920
Speaker 2: We now have a scheme that is a little bit

654
00:31:18,920 --> 00:31:23,320
Speaker 2: more offensive friendly potentially. It's been very successful with offensive

655
00:31:23,360 --> 00:31:25,480
Speaker 2: linemen that you know, like Daniel Brunskill.

656
00:31:25,880 --> 00:31:27,320
Speaker 1: You know, they took Spencer.

657
00:31:27,720 --> 00:31:31,040
Speaker 2: Buford last year who's from Utsa, played tackle his whole

658
00:31:31,040 --> 00:31:34,480
Speaker 2: career at UTSA. They draft him in the fourth round,

659
00:31:34,480 --> 00:31:37,280
Speaker 2: stuck him in a guard, played guard, started at guard

660
00:31:37,280 --> 00:31:37,760
Speaker 2: the whole year.

661
00:31:38,400 --> 00:31:44,960
Speaker 1: So that was part Burford was. He should have been

662
00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:45,920
Speaker 1: drafted a little bit higher.

663
00:31:46,440 --> 00:31:48,720
Speaker 2: But they took a guy that was a tackle, had

664
00:31:48,720 --> 00:31:50,800
Speaker 2: never played guard, stuck him in a guard, and the

665
00:31:50,880 --> 00:31:53,920
Speaker 2: machine kept running. And that's what you hope you can

666
00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:56,680
Speaker 2: get to because you're gonna have changes on the offensive

667
00:31:56,680 --> 00:31:59,440
Speaker 2: line going forward. But if you're preaching a consistent message

668
00:31:59,440 --> 00:32:02,800
Speaker 2: in the scheme stays relatively consistent, the coaching remains consistent,

669
00:32:03,240 --> 00:32:06,280
Speaker 2: then everything gets better. If all that stays the same,

670
00:32:06,360 --> 00:32:09,640
Speaker 2: then everything gets gets better. And at that point, once

671
00:32:09,680 --> 00:32:12,080
Speaker 2: everything gets better, than all that raises its game up too.

672
00:32:12,120 --> 00:32:14,880
Speaker 2: So I when I heard Demiko say that, I was

673
00:32:14,880 --> 00:32:18,040
Speaker 2: in the back kind of nodding like, yeah, I think

674
00:32:18,080 --> 00:32:18,560
Speaker 2: he's right.

675
00:32:19,040 --> 00:32:20,120
Speaker 1: I think he's right about that.

676
00:32:20,200 --> 00:32:22,000
Speaker 2: I do think the offensive line could be one of

677
00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:24,040
Speaker 2: the better units on the team. So I ask you,

678
00:32:24,080 --> 00:32:27,720
Speaker 2: this is it the best unit right now on paper

679
00:32:28,120 --> 00:32:28,760
Speaker 2: on the team.

680
00:32:29,960 --> 00:32:30,440
Speaker 1: What is it?

681
00:32:31,440 --> 00:32:33,840
Speaker 6: If it's not the offensive line, I think it's the secondary.

682
00:32:34,040 --> 00:32:36,640
Speaker 6: I think it's the defensive backfield. I think I agree

683
00:32:36,720 --> 00:32:39,400
Speaker 6: it's either one two or two to one one of

684
00:32:39,400 --> 00:32:42,720
Speaker 6: those two, because you've got the third overall pick and

685
00:32:42,760 --> 00:32:45,280
Speaker 6: Derek Stingley out at one cornerback spot, and I think

686
00:32:45,280 --> 00:32:47,040
Speaker 6: we saw really good things from him as a rookie.

687
00:32:47,440 --> 00:32:50,080
Speaker 6: I think he gets better in year two, no matter

688
00:32:50,120 --> 00:32:53,000
Speaker 6: the defensive scheme he's in. And I think because he's

689
00:32:53,000 --> 00:32:55,800
Speaker 6: in this defensive scheme, he's gonna be even better right

690
00:32:56,360 --> 00:32:59,120
Speaker 6: then maybe he was in the other one. Then you've

691
00:32:59,160 --> 00:33:02,560
Speaker 6: got to really sight above average veteran and Steven Nelson

692
00:33:02,600 --> 00:33:05,560
Speaker 6: out at the other corner. You still have Desmond King,

693
00:33:05,960 --> 00:33:08,320
Speaker 6: you still have Tavia Thomas who did really really nice

694
00:33:08,320 --> 00:33:12,280
Speaker 6: things both inside and outside last year. And then you

695
00:33:12,480 --> 00:33:15,920
Speaker 6: add a guy like Shaquille Griffin who's got bona fides, he's.

696
00:33:15,800 --> 00:33:18,040
Speaker 5: Got pelts on the walls. Absolutely, I mean that's a

697
00:33:18,080 --> 00:33:19,240
Speaker 5: really really good addition.

698
00:33:19,280 --> 00:33:24,080
Speaker 6: Really underrated edition and then you've got a developing Jalen Petrie,

699
00:33:24,120 --> 00:33:28,320
Speaker 6: who was lights out your leader on defense in twenty

700
00:33:28,440 --> 00:33:31,000
Speaker 6: twenty two, and he's getting better and he's going to

701
00:33:31,080 --> 00:33:33,600
Speaker 6: be put in a new position to flourish.

702
00:33:33,680 --> 00:33:35,240
Speaker 5: And then you add a guy like Jimmy Ward.

703
00:33:35,360 --> 00:33:38,880
Speaker 6: Yeah, pumped scording, you know, and he's a leader and

704
00:33:38,920 --> 00:33:40,680
Speaker 6: he's doing all that. I mean, he can play so

705
00:33:40,680 --> 00:33:43,080
Speaker 6: many different positions, but he's gonna play free safety here

706
00:33:43,200 --> 00:33:46,360
Speaker 6: or safety here. Yeah, And I just I'm really, I'm

707
00:33:46,400 --> 00:33:49,240
Speaker 6: really excited about that secondary. I really think that that's

708
00:33:49,280 --> 00:33:51,240
Speaker 6: going to be a strength of the team. And that's

709
00:33:51,280 --> 00:33:54,000
Speaker 6: a good thing. That's a good thing. Now I'll ask

710
00:33:54,040 --> 00:33:56,000
Speaker 6: you this, I'll flip the tables back on you.

711
00:33:56,080 --> 00:33:59,200
Speaker 1: Oh, hit that ball back over the net.

712
00:33:59,280 --> 00:34:03,120
Speaker 6: If another position group winds up at the end of

713
00:34:03,160 --> 00:34:06,760
Speaker 6: the season being better than those two, which position group

714
00:34:06,800 --> 00:34:07,520
Speaker 6: do you think that would be?

715
00:34:07,760 --> 00:34:08,399
Speaker 1: Running back?

716
00:34:08,800 --> 00:34:10,360
Speaker 5: Okay, Yeah, that's a fair one.

717
00:34:10,840 --> 00:34:14,880
Speaker 2: Running back, because I think the top I think the

718
00:34:16,120 --> 00:34:19,080
Speaker 2: I mean, you don't like the starters in the offseason

719
00:34:19,120 --> 00:34:21,520
Speaker 2: all that kind of stuff, but especially running back because

720
00:34:21,520 --> 00:34:24,319
Speaker 2: you do have changes, you know, personnel changes and third

721
00:34:24,440 --> 00:34:27,120
Speaker 2: down backs and all that kind of stuff. But between

722
00:34:27,160 --> 00:34:31,160
Speaker 2: Damian Pierce and Devin Singletary not obviously health permitting for

723
00:34:31,200 --> 00:34:36,000
Speaker 2: all of this. But Damian Pierce and Devin Singletary are

724
00:34:37,360 --> 00:34:43,319
Speaker 2: different from one another. And if they're both healthy and

725
00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:45,840
Speaker 2: ones getting rest while the other ones going out in

726
00:34:45,840 --> 00:34:47,799
Speaker 2: their tote and rock or out on the field, you're

727
00:34:47,800 --> 00:34:50,680
Speaker 2: gonna keep them fresh throughout games and that'll help you

728
00:34:50,760 --> 00:34:53,479
Speaker 2: keep them fresh throughout the season. Now, with running backs,

729
00:34:53,520 --> 00:34:55,000
Speaker 2: we know guys are gonna get banged up. I mean

730
00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:57,040
Speaker 2: you're carrying, you know, you're getting you know how many

731
00:34:57,080 --> 00:35:00,279
Speaker 2: of our touches in a year. But you know, say

732
00:35:00,280 --> 00:35:03,080
Speaker 2: between them, I don't know. Let's say Damien gets, I

733
00:35:03,080 --> 00:35:08,839
Speaker 2: don't know. Let's say, uh, three hundred, Devin gets. Oh,

734
00:35:08,960 --> 00:35:10,440
Speaker 2: this is say three hundred two hundred, I don't know.

735
00:35:10,520 --> 00:35:12,320
Speaker 2: Let's let's go with that. That's a lot of touches

736
00:35:12,640 --> 00:35:14,319
Speaker 2: amongst backs. But I think that's what you're gonna get

737
00:35:14,320 --> 00:35:19,320
Speaker 2: out of these two. But I think beyond that, somebody's

738
00:35:19,360 --> 00:35:24,480
Speaker 2: coming out of that group of Dargalle, Jared Doakes, Exavion Vallet.

739
00:35:24,760 --> 00:35:28,799
Speaker 2: Somebody's coming out of that group to either be hey,

740
00:35:28,800 --> 00:35:31,120
Speaker 2: one of these guys got hurt. You got to step

741
00:35:31,160 --> 00:35:35,839
Speaker 2: in that role or Hey, we just really love running

742
00:35:35,840 --> 00:35:38,279
Speaker 2: the football and we want to give six to eight

743
00:35:38,320 --> 00:35:40,360
Speaker 2: carries to a third back, kind of like San Francisco

744
00:35:40,400 --> 00:35:42,600
Speaker 2: would do. San Francisco would roll out Elijah Mitchell and

745
00:35:42,640 --> 00:35:44,319
Speaker 2: then they'd put Jeff Wilson in, and then they would

746
00:35:44,360 --> 00:35:47,080
Speaker 2: put uh Rowheem Moster in the game. They'd all get carries,

747
00:35:47,120 --> 00:35:48,440
Speaker 2: and then all of a sudden the fourth quarter they

748
00:35:48,520 --> 00:35:51,080
Speaker 2: go with the hot hand. Sometimes it was Moster sometimes,

749
00:35:51,120 --> 00:35:54,279
Speaker 2: but they would they would play three backs. So I

750
00:35:54,400 --> 00:35:57,280
Speaker 2: got a feeling that all of those backs, Mike Boone

751
00:35:57,320 --> 00:36:00,200
Speaker 2: being another one in that group, I think one of

752
00:36:00,239 --> 00:36:04,080
Speaker 2: those other backs emerges as a pretty someone you feel

753
00:36:04,120 --> 00:36:07,200
Speaker 2: confident about behind Singletary and Peers.

754
00:36:07,719 --> 00:36:10,400
Speaker 6: So you're saying kind of along the lines of twenty

755
00:36:10,440 --> 00:36:15,680
Speaker 6: eleven where you had Arion Foster Ben Tate, right, and.

756
00:36:16,960 --> 00:36:18,360
Speaker 5: Is it Derek Ward in eleven?

757
00:36:18,440 --> 00:36:20,240
Speaker 1: I think it was Derek Ward eleven, Yes.

758
00:36:20,040 --> 00:36:21,560
Speaker 6: And in the next year you had that same do

759
00:36:21,680 --> 00:36:24,319
Speaker 6: at the top, but swap out Ward with Justin First

760
00:36:24,400 --> 00:36:26,960
Speaker 6: said who would wind up winning a rushing title a

761
00:36:26,960 --> 00:36:27,520
Speaker 6: couple years la.

762
00:36:27,520 --> 00:36:29,080
Speaker 2: I mean, I don't want to say that's the San

763
00:36:29,160 --> 00:36:33,319
Speaker 2: Francisco Shanahan. You know, Mike Shanahan before him, sort of thing.

764
00:36:33,960 --> 00:36:36,640
Speaker 2: But I think if you want to run the football

765
00:36:37,080 --> 00:36:41,160
Speaker 2: it the math works. The math tells you, yeah, you're

766
00:36:41,160 --> 00:36:43,640
Speaker 2: gonna run it. You want to, You want to run it,

767
00:36:43,920 --> 00:36:45,239
Speaker 2: so you want to run it twenty times in a

768
00:36:45,239 --> 00:36:49,480
Speaker 2: game seventeen games has three hundred and forty carries. Now

769
00:36:50,800 --> 00:36:52,960
Speaker 2: backs when they get three hundred carries and three hundred

770
00:36:53,000 --> 00:36:54,799
Speaker 2: I mean just say three hundred carries because you're gonna

771
00:36:54,800 --> 00:36:58,200
Speaker 2: get touches in other ways too. I mean a back

772
00:36:58,239 --> 00:37:00,680
Speaker 2: getting three hundred carries that just can't have. But if

773
00:37:00,680 --> 00:37:02,560
Speaker 2: you got a back, let's say Dan let's just take

774
00:37:02,560 --> 00:37:05,279
Speaker 2: that twenty carries a game. Seventeen games, three hundred and

775
00:37:05,280 --> 00:37:10,359
Speaker 2: forty carries. Let's say Damien catches forty passes. If you

776
00:37:10,520 --> 00:37:12,600
Speaker 2: cut that number to say he carries it two hundred

777
00:37:12,640 --> 00:37:15,360
Speaker 2: and fifty times, then you give him another fifty catches.

778
00:37:15,400 --> 00:37:18,080
Speaker 2: That's three hundred touches. Well, that's that's a ton. So

779
00:37:18,120 --> 00:37:20,840
Speaker 2: where are the other carriers gonna go? Well, one of

780
00:37:20,840 --> 00:37:22,520
Speaker 2: those guys gets banged up, I'd like to see it

781
00:37:22,560 --> 00:37:24,360
Speaker 2: go to Singletary because I think he's shown that he

782
00:37:24,360 --> 00:37:25,280
Speaker 2: can handle that load.

783
00:37:25,640 --> 00:37:27,160
Speaker 1: But I think he can be a one two combination.

784
00:37:27,200 --> 00:37:28,520
Speaker 2: But there's gonna come a point in the year where

785
00:37:28,520 --> 00:37:31,239
Speaker 2: you're like, man, somebody's banged up from that that duo,

786
00:37:31,600 --> 00:37:34,399
Speaker 2: Pierce Singletay is banged up. Which guy steps into that void?

787
00:37:34,440 --> 00:37:36,720
Speaker 2: That's gonna be interesting watch to me. That third running

788
00:37:36,719 --> 00:37:37,320
Speaker 2: back job.

789
00:37:37,280 --> 00:37:40,280
Speaker 6: Tuesday at practice, it was steamy. It was in the eighties,

790
00:37:40,320 --> 00:37:42,640
Speaker 6: felt like in the nineties. And I look up and

791
00:37:42,760 --> 00:37:45,759
Speaker 6: Damian Pierce has on was it? Is it called a

792
00:37:45,760 --> 00:37:49,200
Speaker 6: backlova or balaklava, but basically as like a ninja mask

793
00:37:49,200 --> 00:37:52,279
Speaker 6: where all yeahs that cut out around his eyes right.

794
00:37:52,560 --> 00:37:54,000
Speaker 5: That fascinating to see.

795
00:37:54,000 --> 00:37:55,800
Speaker 6: And I hadn't seen it on a Houston Texan since

796
00:37:56,280 --> 00:38:00,080
Speaker 6: our good palai Antonio Smith used to sport that so well.

797
00:38:00,320 --> 00:38:03,880
Speaker 6: I wonder how much more we're gonna see of Damian

798
00:38:03,960 --> 00:38:05,920
Speaker 6: Pierce wearing the ninja hat.

799
00:38:06,800 --> 00:38:07,239
Speaker 1: I like it.

800
00:38:07,360 --> 00:38:11,759
Speaker 2: Keep wearing a ninja hat in the heat, though, why not?

801
00:38:12,640 --> 00:38:13,000
Speaker 1: Why not?

802
00:38:13,120 --> 00:38:14,320
Speaker 5: That's a real cavalier.

803
00:38:14,360 --> 00:38:14,680
Speaker 1: Why not?

804
00:38:14,800 --> 00:38:15,160
Speaker 5: I don't know.

805
00:38:15,200 --> 00:38:17,000
Speaker 1: Maybe I don't know. I don't know. I don't have

806
00:38:17,040 --> 00:38:19,160
Speaker 1: any issue with what guys, why I should I don't have.

807
00:38:19,120 --> 00:38:19,600
Speaker 5: An issue with it.

808
00:38:19,600 --> 00:38:21,759
Speaker 6: I'm just wondering how much longer will he do it,

809
00:38:21,800 --> 00:38:22,640
Speaker 6: and isn't it too hot?

810
00:38:22,760 --> 00:38:23,640
Speaker 1: I'll put it this way.

811
00:38:23,760 --> 00:38:26,919
Speaker 2: If you're gonna wear something with flair like that, yeah,

812
00:38:27,520 --> 00:38:29,719
Speaker 2: then you better be pretty good. You can't be out

813
00:38:29,760 --> 00:38:32,200
Speaker 2: there stinking up the joint wearing a bunch of towels

814
00:38:32,239 --> 00:38:34,719
Speaker 2: and wrapping up, you know, spatting up and doing all that.

815
00:38:34,680 --> 00:38:35,320
Speaker 1: Kind of stuff.

816
00:38:35,320 --> 00:38:37,520
Speaker 2: You're gonna go out there and have bits of flair

817
00:38:37,520 --> 00:38:38,840
Speaker 2: on you, you better be a player.

818
00:38:39,000 --> 00:38:39,760
Speaker 5: And he's a player.

819
00:38:40,120 --> 00:38:41,759
Speaker 2: There are some that I can remember that we're not

820
00:38:41,840 --> 00:38:43,440
Speaker 2: players that like to wear their flair.

821
00:38:43,560 --> 00:38:44,840
Speaker 1: And again, let me be clear.

822
00:38:45,640 --> 00:38:52,400
Speaker 2: Flair's good if you're good, Flair not so good if you're.

823
00:38:52,280 --> 00:38:53,000
Speaker 1: Not so good.

824
00:38:53,480 --> 00:38:56,000
Speaker 2: So just it's a pretty simple formula as it pertains

825
00:38:56,040 --> 00:38:57,800
Speaker 2: to flair. And if you don't know what I'm talking about,

826
00:38:58,080 --> 00:39:00,640
Speaker 2: then go watch off his space. You know exactly what

827
00:39:00,719 --> 00:39:03,120
Speaker 2: I'm talking about. What are pieces of flair for football?

828
00:39:04,160 --> 00:39:09,120
Speaker 2: Spat it up towels? I don't know what Damie was

829
00:39:09,239 --> 00:39:11,080
Speaker 2: wearing the other day.

830
00:39:11,320 --> 00:39:13,279
Speaker 1: It was like a Ninja masak or something. I don't know.

831
00:39:13,480 --> 00:39:15,720
Speaker 2: Any and all of that works as pieces of flair.

832
00:39:15,719 --> 00:39:17,279
Speaker 2: All right, let's go round the NFL quickly. When we

833
00:39:17,360 --> 00:39:19,520
Speaker 2: get back right here on a Wednesday edition of Texans

834
00:39:19,560 --> 00:39:21,720
Speaker 2: All Access. We got one final segment of this initiative,

835
00:39:21,760 --> 00:39:24,520
Speaker 2: Texas All Access from Monday Texans Radio Studio.

836
00:39:24,640 --> 00:39:26,239
Speaker 1: I am your host, John.

837
00:39:26,440 --> 00:39:28,319
Speaker 2: Harris Football on the side of the report for your

838
00:39:28,360 --> 00:39:31,520
Speaker 2: Houston Texans. Let's go around the NFL and talk about

839
00:39:31,640 --> 00:39:38,879
Speaker 2: calf injuries. Apparently in New Jersey Aaron Rodgers. Somebody put

840
00:39:38,880 --> 00:39:44,440
Speaker 2: out a picture showing Aaron Rodgers doing some pre practice

841
00:39:44,600 --> 00:39:48,359
Speaker 2: training exercises, and one of those is pulling the sled,

842
00:39:48,440 --> 00:39:50,000
Speaker 2: a little tiny sledge. You put it on your waist

843
00:39:50,000 --> 00:39:52,440
Speaker 2: and you carry it's got weight on it. And apparently

844
00:39:52,600 --> 00:39:56,120
Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers strained his calf doing those as somebody put

845
00:39:56,200 --> 00:39:59,480
Speaker 2: on Twitter. Eighteen years in Green Bay never did that.

846
00:39:59,560 --> 00:40:02,600
Speaker 2: He did it one day in New York, and well

847
00:40:02,719 --> 00:40:03,319
Speaker 2: there you go.

848
00:40:03,840 --> 00:40:05,440
Speaker 1: So it looks like he's gonna be okay.

849
00:40:05,680 --> 00:40:09,720
Speaker 2: So you if you're a Jets fan, but Aaron Rodgers

850
00:40:10,400 --> 00:40:11,000
Speaker 2: not so great.

851
00:40:11,080 --> 00:40:13,920
Speaker 1: Now have not heard an update on Alan Lazard. Al

852
00:40:14,040 --> 00:40:15,279
Speaker 1: Lazard left practice.

853
00:40:16,600 --> 00:40:19,280
Speaker 2: It sounded as if he was going to be okay,

854
00:40:19,880 --> 00:40:23,919
Speaker 2: but he left practice and apparently.

855
00:40:24,440 --> 00:40:25,960
Speaker 1: He got hit.

856
00:40:27,719 --> 00:40:30,200
Speaker 2: That's the right way of saying that he got hit

857
00:40:30,360 --> 00:40:36,759
Speaker 2: somewhere where. For guys, that's not very good, if you

858
00:40:36,800 --> 00:40:39,840
Speaker 2: know what I mean. He got hit down south, and

859
00:40:40,000 --> 00:40:42,279
Speaker 2: of course that took him out of practice. So this

860
00:40:42,360 --> 00:40:46,719
Speaker 2: is the power of OTAs though, because those things hit

861
00:40:46,800 --> 00:40:50,759
Speaker 2: twitter al Lazard left practice, never came back, and everybody's like,

862
00:40:50,760 --> 00:40:53,320
Speaker 2: oh my god, Terry A. C. L he got Achilles,

863
00:40:53,520 --> 00:40:56,239
Speaker 2: what is it? Stranon hamstring? No, na, na, he got

864
00:40:56,360 --> 00:41:00,440
Speaker 2: hitting the Canadians. I mean, it's it's the power is

865
00:41:00,480 --> 00:41:04,279
Speaker 2: the power of OTAs, man. Everything that comes out of

866
00:41:04,320 --> 00:41:10,240
Speaker 2: OTAs is news. We are so craving for NFL news

867
00:41:10,920 --> 00:41:16,319
Speaker 2: that those two those two situations, I don't say blew up,

868
00:41:16,760 --> 00:41:20,759
Speaker 2: but they kind of took over the internet. And that's well,

869
00:41:20,920 --> 00:41:25,960
Speaker 2: it's fun at all, but still still sort of crazy.

870
00:41:26,560 --> 00:41:33,520
Speaker 2: There's still no conclusion to the Washington Commander's sale to

871
00:41:33,800 --> 00:41:38,440
Speaker 2: Josh Harris. Spring meetings took place up in Minneapolis, and

872
00:41:38,480 --> 00:41:41,560
Speaker 2: the owners decided on a number of things, including one

873
00:41:41,600 --> 00:41:43,799
Speaker 2: that I swear I was so mad I.

874
00:41:43,760 --> 00:41:45,239
Speaker 1: Forgot this one.

875
00:41:45,440 --> 00:41:48,040
Speaker 2: But it was decided that the NFL teams can go

876
00:41:48,160 --> 00:41:50,799
Speaker 2: back to a rule that they had in early two

877
00:41:50,840 --> 00:41:56,400
Speaker 2: thousands of having a third quarterback on the roster that

878
00:41:56,400 --> 00:41:58,560
Speaker 2: doesn't count against the forty six or forty eight game

879
00:41:58,680 --> 00:41:59,800
Speaker 2: day roster.

880
00:42:00,800 --> 00:42:02,160
Speaker 1: It's an extra player to have.

881
00:42:02,280 --> 00:42:04,719
Speaker 2: Obviously, everybody saw what happened in the NFC Championship game,

882
00:42:05,080 --> 00:42:07,200
Speaker 2: and so if you have forty eight man roster, which

883
00:42:07,200 --> 00:42:08,799
Speaker 2: you can have on game days, if you have eight

884
00:42:08,840 --> 00:42:11,960
Speaker 2: offensive linemen, then you get a forty ninth player with

885
00:42:12,000 --> 00:42:14,440
Speaker 2: your third quarterback. I think that helps the quarterback the

886
00:42:14,480 --> 00:42:17,839
Speaker 2: Texans immenseally, to be honest, I think it really helps them.

887
00:42:17,840 --> 00:42:20,879
Speaker 2: Now the third quarterback can only come into a game

888
00:42:20,920 --> 00:42:23,879
Speaker 2: if there are injuries for the top two quarterbacks that day.

889
00:42:24,640 --> 00:42:27,000
Speaker 2: So that's definitely something to keep an eye on. But

890
00:42:27,320 --> 00:42:29,640
Speaker 2: interesting stuff coming out of the meetings. But what did

891
00:42:29,719 --> 00:42:32,080
Speaker 2: not come out of the meetings was a sale to

892
00:42:32,480 --> 00:42:33,160
Speaker 2: the commander.

893
00:42:33,239 --> 00:42:34,080
Speaker 1: So there you have it.

894
00:42:34,440 --> 00:42:37,040
Speaker 2: There's the show. Appreciate you guys being here, Appreciate Mark

895
00:42:37,200 --> 00:42:39,239
Speaker 2: and Drew and all of you for listening. We'll see

896
00:42:39,239 --> 00:42:39,560
Speaker 2: next time.

897
00:42:39,560 --> 00:42:40,720
Speaker 1: It as always Go Texans.
