1
00:00:00,800 --> 00:00:03,680
Speaker 1: Here's the Snatt's looking touch them off, diving for the

2
00:00:03,720 --> 00:00:09,360
Speaker 1: pylon that he's got it razzle tasole touchdown stairs and

3
00:00:09,480 --> 00:00:14,000
Speaker 1: the Texans go in front. Game day. He's every day.

4
00:00:14,320 --> 00:00:15,840
Speaker 1: We had a lot of energy and we brought a

5
00:00:15,840 --> 00:00:20,759
Speaker 1: lot of spark for this organization. Five nights a week.

6
00:00:20,960 --> 00:00:25,119
Speaker 1: They hits keep on coming. The Texans say they have

7
00:00:25,239 --> 00:00:32,840
Speaker 1: it and they do. No, it's Texans all EXAs, Yes, sir,

8
00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:37,640
Speaker 1: it is texasle Access on this Monday evening, John Harris

9
00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:43,000
Speaker 1: alongside the voice of the Texans, Mark Vanimir Mark long time,

10
00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:46,200
Speaker 1: no see. I will admit it is really really good

11
00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:49,960
Speaker 1: to see you in the morning doing Texas Training Camp Live,

12
00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:51,800
Speaker 1: which you need to be tuning into every single day

13
00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:54,640
Speaker 1: eight to ten. How are you my friend recovered from

14
00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:57,720
Speaker 1: practice yet? Oh? Yeah? And you know, did that really

15
00:00:57,760 --> 00:00:59,800
Speaker 1: happen this morning with seventy three degrees when we went

16
00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:01,480
Speaker 1: on the year? I mean, I wrote about that and

17
00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:03,560
Speaker 1: I thought, wait, was that a dream? Johnny? Did I

18
00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:05,720
Speaker 1: dream that it was that cool this morning? Because I

19
00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:08,040
Speaker 1: went running this afternoon, I'm thinking this is not even

20
00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:10,760
Speaker 1: the same planet I was on this morning. Well, good

21
00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:13,240
Speaker 1: for you. I can't even walk hardly I gotta go

22
00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:16,920
Speaker 1: get an MRI on Wednesday. Back just getting consistently worse.

23
00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:19,399
Speaker 1: So I'm glad to see that you're getting some exercise

24
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:22,560
Speaker 1: because during training camp, I for the last couple of years,

25
00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:26,840
Speaker 1: I would get up at about five, I'd run to

26
00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:30,640
Speaker 1: about five forty five. I'd shower, clean up, get out

27
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:32,840
Speaker 1: of here by six, and then be ready to go

28
00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:35,240
Speaker 1: for radio. I can barely even walk to the car

29
00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:37,240
Speaker 1: in the morning. And then of course I got COVID

30
00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:39,679
Speaker 1: testing that I've got to do as well. So that's

31
00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:42,080
Speaker 1: always that's always a real good way to start your morning,

32
00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:43,800
Speaker 1: kind of wake up a little bit. Hey, how you

33
00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:46,040
Speaker 1: feel this morning? The coffee was good. You know that

34
00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:49,000
Speaker 1: breakfast sandwich is good. Okay, here's a straw up your nose.

35
00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:53,120
Speaker 1: Good luck with that. But what you mean at a

36
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:55,680
Speaker 1: straw sounds like it's a different kind of recreational like,

37
00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:58,360
Speaker 1: oh yeah, cute tip, that's I met kide tip. You're

38
00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:03,160
Speaker 1: not Tony Montana. Okay, oh yeah, exactly that is true.

39
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:05,880
Speaker 1: I am not. I am not Tony Montana, and I

40
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:10,840
Speaker 1: am not Randall Cobb either, thankfully, because Randall Cobb will

41
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:12,440
Speaker 1: join us later on the show. He sat down with

42
00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:15,360
Speaker 1: Drew Dorty today really fun interviews. So I was trying

43
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:17,440
Speaker 1: to decide. Mark and I were actually trading text before

44
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:20,080
Speaker 1: the show. Drew kind of broke his interview up a

45
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:22,960
Speaker 1: little bit. He starts talking about the team in football,

46
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:25,520
Speaker 1: and he asked them drews dirty dozen questions, and I

47
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:27,080
Speaker 1: started listening to the whole thing. I was like, I

48
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:28,720
Speaker 1: really liked this interview. We're gonna play the whole thing.

49
00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:30,480
Speaker 1: So we're gonna have that for you a little later

50
00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:34,680
Speaker 1: in the show. I'm also gonna go with gut reaction

51
00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:36,840
Speaker 1: from Mark in our next segment. I'm gonna throw some

52
00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:39,560
Speaker 1: of the players that he saw today and just get

53
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:42,440
Speaker 1: his initial gut reaction. Now, a lot of these players

54
00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:46,360
Speaker 1: have veterans, so we've seen them and maybe other iterations

55
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:49,080
Speaker 1: other teams. Maybe you've seen him in college, at the rookies,

56
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:51,639
Speaker 1: et cetera. So I'm gonna get Marks just gut reaction

57
00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:54,120
Speaker 1: to what he saw, even players that have been here

58
00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:56,400
Speaker 1: for a while, what he saw from them, and then

59
00:02:56,400 --> 00:03:01,240
Speaker 1: we'll go around the league. The Jags have absolutely been

60
00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:07,280
Speaker 1: hammered with the injury bug already. They've lost three guys

61
00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:09,120
Speaker 1: that you think, oh, well, are they gonna play that

62
00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:12,320
Speaker 1: Vega a role probably so for what they wanted to do,

63
00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:16,360
Speaker 1: and we'll get into that. And a former Texas City

64
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:22,080
Speaker 1: High School Texas Longhorn slash Texan product had a try

65
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:27,080
Speaker 1: out today somewhere in the AFC South. Who was he

66
00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:35,160
Speaker 1: and where did he try out? I know you can, yes,

67
00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:38,480
Speaker 1: so it's one or the other. So we'll we'll get

68
00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:41,520
Speaker 1: to that um because a certain form of Texan running

69
00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:45,000
Speaker 1: back did try out today amongst about five or six

70
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:50,640
Speaker 1: other players in an AFC South locations. But mark your

71
00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:56,000
Speaker 1: chance to put your eyes on this squad on Monday

72
00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:58,800
Speaker 1: in the beautiful temperatures, which always makes it a little

73
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:01,880
Speaker 1: bit easier to watch practice because, like the players, and

74
00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:04,800
Speaker 1: we talk about this with them a lot when they're

75
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:09,640
Speaker 1: at home here, typically those last twenty to thirty minutes

76
00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:12,960
Speaker 1: are just about survival. It's yes, they want to get

77
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:15,600
Speaker 1: the reps in, they are trying to be great professionals,

78
00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:19,040
Speaker 1: but it's about survival, especially when they've got full pads on.

79
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:21,560
Speaker 1: When we went to the Greenbriar, that was a consistent theme.

80
00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:24,080
Speaker 1: They all said, Look, the last twenty minutes of practice,

81
00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:26,880
Speaker 1: I'm still working on technique, I'm still getting good reps.

82
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:30,960
Speaker 1: I'm not looking to just quote unquote survive like I would.

83
00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:33,720
Speaker 1: You're overall thought of what you saw early on from

84
00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:36,280
Speaker 1: this team, from this team today, well it really felt

85
00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:38,880
Speaker 1: like a Greenbrier practice, not only because we were in

86
00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:41,479
Speaker 1: a tent or I was anyway, not you sorry, yeah,

87
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:44,200
Speaker 1: but the temperature, of course, and like you said, you'd

88
00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:46,560
Speaker 1: probably enabled them to do a whole lot more work

89
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:50,120
Speaker 1: rather than survive, which sometimes is the case with these

90
00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:54,039
Speaker 1: really warm summer practices. I think everyone's been talking about

91
00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:57,000
Speaker 1: David Johnson and Johnny. It's as if when they acquired

92
00:04:57,120 --> 00:04:59,760
Speaker 1: David Johnson and the Hopkins deal, people thought, well, David

93
00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:01,719
Speaker 1: john is going to show up in a wheelchair or

94
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:05,280
Speaker 1: with a walker, or on crutches or something like. David Johnson. Listen,

95
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:07,680
Speaker 1: David Johnson's the houle football player. And you could just

96
00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:09,720
Speaker 1: see it out there. I mean, this guy is really good.

97
00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:12,720
Speaker 1: And I mentioned it this morning. You gotta watch Johnny's telestrator.

98
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:15,960
Speaker 1: It's somewhere. It's somewhere on the interweb on our website.

99
00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:20,960
Speaker 1: David Johnson telestrator Kyler Murray making a nice play to

100
00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:25,240
Speaker 1: Johnson as the Cardinals were scoring a touchdown last year,

101
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:28,240
Speaker 1: and I thought that this shows a little bit of

102
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:30,280
Speaker 1: what he can do with Watson. You know, you think

103
00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:33,920
Speaker 1: about Los Carlos Hide with ten catches last year. You

104
00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:36,479
Speaker 1: think about Lamar Miller. Not a prolific receiving back, but

105
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:40,320
Speaker 1: a good one, but not unbelievable, not known for that necessarily,

106
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:44,080
Speaker 1: especially here. He did have some moments sixteen against the

107
00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:47,040
Speaker 1: Colts on Sunday Night football, had the catch against Seattle.

108
00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:48,960
Speaker 1: But he's kind of like Johnny on the spot there.

109
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:51,680
Speaker 1: But this guy is gonna make some huge plays through

110
00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:54,200
Speaker 1: the air, whether it's out of the backfield, it's a bailout,

111
00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:57,560
Speaker 1: whether it's designed, whether it's whatever. He and Watson, I

112
00:05:57,560 --> 00:05:59,919
Speaker 1: think are gonna make beautiful music together. And that's just

113
00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:02,080
Speaker 1: one element of this offense. I think. The other thing,

114
00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:05,479
Speaker 1: Johnny is when they're going against air, when I saw

115
00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:09,520
Speaker 1: a Cobb and Cooks and Fuller and David Johnson, and

116
00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:11,480
Speaker 1: I just thought, oh my gosh, here it is. They're

117
00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:14,320
Speaker 1: lining up like this, and that is very cool, you know,

118
00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:16,520
Speaker 1: among other ways they line up, but that's one of

119
00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:19,640
Speaker 1: the combinations. And I just smiled and thought, I cannot

120
00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:21,680
Speaker 1: wait to see stuff like this when we get to

121
00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:24,240
Speaker 1: the regular season campaign. Yeah. I mean, it's so fun

122
00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:28,640
Speaker 1: to see how the things that we envisioned this off season,

123
00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:31,000
Speaker 1: we didn't have a chance to see it until now,

124
00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:34,479
Speaker 1: because we would have seen that in OTAs. I would

125
00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:36,479
Speaker 1: imagine we would have seen that grouping at least go

126
00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:38,840
Speaker 1: out there and pitch around a little bit and had

127
00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:42,560
Speaker 1: the desert most of a lot of June in all

128
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:46,480
Speaker 1: of July before a training camp to kind of envision. Okay, now,

129
00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:48,160
Speaker 1: what does it look like when they put pads on, etc.

130
00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:50,919
Speaker 1: We're getting our eyes on it for the first time.

131
00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:55,080
Speaker 1: It's like, hey, there's thirteen, there's eighteen. Okay, those guys. Wait,

132
00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:57,039
Speaker 1: those guys are new thirty one used to be a

133
00:06:57,080 --> 00:06:59,719
Speaker 1: defensive guy. Okay, so now he's on. So you're trying

134
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:01,680
Speaker 1: to figure all this out, and then you realized, man,

135
00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:03,600
Speaker 1: they can really get up and go. I think the

136
00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:07,240
Speaker 1: one thing about about David two, David Johnson Mark, there

137
00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:09,760
Speaker 1: was one run and I know that not a lot

138
00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:12,720
Speaker 1: of people saw it, and I saw it because I

139
00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:15,200
Speaker 1: was kind of standing right in line with it. But

140
00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:19,160
Speaker 1: you know how much I love to watch the interior line.

141
00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:21,040
Speaker 1: No matter what's going on, I love to watch the

142
00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:25,000
Speaker 1: interior and especially in the run game and watching the

143
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:29,040
Speaker 1: interior you can see just so much happening, and it

144
00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:31,000
Speaker 1: just happened to be watching a couple of the blocks

145
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:33,280
Speaker 1: on the left side developed and as I was I

146
00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:36,400
Speaker 1: kind of got dad. David was in my view, and

147
00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:39,040
Speaker 1: so they're running a play and essentially he was running

148
00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:41,679
Speaker 1: for the B gap. So my guess is was probably

149
00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:44,680
Speaker 1: inside zone play, maybe a duo play, but he was

150
00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:46,600
Speaker 1: running at the A gap, which is in between the

151
00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:49,120
Speaker 1: center and the guard. Well, B Max saw it right away,

152
00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:54,360
Speaker 1: and B Max shoots the A gap and David Johnson Mark,

153
00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:58,200
Speaker 1: I'm telling you, without missing a bat, sees b Mac

154
00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:02,320
Speaker 1: get in the gap where he wanted to go, and

155
00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:06,760
Speaker 1: David literally just slid his body over on didn't even

156
00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:09,720
Speaker 1: really jump cut. It's just like he took the next

157
00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:12,920
Speaker 1: couple of steps out of the hole and b Mac

158
00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:15,880
Speaker 1: was basically left grasping for air and Johnson got his

159
00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:17,960
Speaker 1: shoulder square and continued on for about a seven eight

160
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:20,720
Speaker 1: yard game before he was touched. And I thought, this

161
00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:23,480
Speaker 1: guy six two two twenty five, two thirty, and he

162
00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:29,160
Speaker 1: just made one of the better run defend defending linebackers

163
00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:33,199
Speaker 1: in the league just left them like grasping for air,

164
00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:38,600
Speaker 1: and I thought, who does that? Who does that? And

165
00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:40,880
Speaker 1: I don't know that that many people could see it

166
00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:42,679
Speaker 1: because it was kind of hard to see in the missmosh,

167
00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:44,720
Speaker 1: depending on where you were standing. I was standing runing

168
00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:46,480
Speaker 1: line where had a good view of it, and b

169
00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:48,640
Speaker 1: Mac thought for sure he had a tackle, and David

170
00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:53,320
Speaker 1: just sidestepped him, just sidestepped outside the guard's block and

171
00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:56,480
Speaker 1: just kept right on going. And I was like, Wow,

172
00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:59,520
Speaker 1: if he's able to do that, and they're able to

173
00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:02,400
Speaker 1: do that, run the ball that way, combined with what

174
00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:05,240
Speaker 1: they have at wide receiver and him at wide receiver,

175
00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:09,040
Speaker 1: and maybe this offense can do things that Maybe this

176
00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:11,120
Speaker 1: offens can do things that a lot of people didn't

177
00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:13,520
Speaker 1: think he could do, especially after DeAndre Hopkins was traded

178
00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:15,800
Speaker 1: in March. I just thought of a new category for

179
00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:18,560
Speaker 1: us to put players in, because if Bill O'Brien heard

180
00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:20,560
Speaker 1: what you just said, he might say, well, listen, don't

181
00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:24,200
Speaker 1: put them in don't put him intim So don't put

182
00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:26,920
Speaker 1: him in Canton. But is a whole category that we

183
00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:29,120
Speaker 1: have to use on the morning program. All right, don't

184
00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:32,520
Speaker 1: put him in Canton. But and I think we'll have

185
00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:35,720
Speaker 1: a bunch of players to put in that category. Yeah, absolutely.

186
00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:39,000
Speaker 1: And one guy we won't put in Canton, but I

187
00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:42,080
Speaker 1: would put in Canton as a slot receiver at some point,

188
00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:44,960
Speaker 1: hopefully we will after a successful run here with the

189
00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:49,800
Speaker 1: Houston Texans is Randall Cobb. It was funny he was

190
00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:51,720
Speaker 1: he had finished up this interview with Drew and he

191
00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:53,800
Speaker 1: was just standing outside. He was talking to Amy Palasick

192
00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:56,640
Speaker 1: and and Omar and Nathan in our media PR department

193
00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:58,840
Speaker 1: and he was just standing there and he was just

194
00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:01,440
Speaker 1: talking with them. It was like they were old pals

195
00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:04,200
Speaker 1: and friends. And I was like, this is so bizarre

196
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:07,079
Speaker 1: to just continue to see Randall Cobb in our place

197
00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:10,960
Speaker 1: of business. It's it's wild. But he is absolutely awesome

198
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:13,760
Speaker 1: to have around. He was doing some holding on field

199
00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:17,240
Speaker 1: goals today, did some special teams work. Randall Cobb is

200
00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:19,760
Speaker 1: going to be a tremendous piece in this offense. And

201
00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:22,120
Speaker 1: Drew Doherty had a chance to catch up with him

202
00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:26,360
Speaker 1: earlier today. How are you settling into the offense. I

203
00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:28,600
Speaker 1: feel pretty good about it, you know. I think the

204
00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:31,840
Speaker 1: biggest thing is to just continue to get repetition, continue

205
00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:34,439
Speaker 1: here to shine in the huddle and picking up on

206
00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:37,640
Speaker 1: his queues and just getting out there and going to work.

207
00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:40,800
Speaker 1: How much fun is it actually, because we hear how

208
00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:42,560
Speaker 1: this time of year can be a grind, We hear

209
00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:46,040
Speaker 1: how it can be tough. But are you having some fun? Yeah? Definitely.

210
00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:48,360
Speaker 1: I think just having a challenge of learning the new

211
00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:52,960
Speaker 1: offense and picking up the offense of goal we're trying

212
00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:56,280
Speaker 1: to accomplish here, so I think that it's just a

213
00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:58,880
Speaker 1: new challenge and obviously have a little bit of normalcy

214
00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:02,120
Speaker 1: that we haven't had here in the past few months.

215
00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:04,360
Speaker 1: So it's nice to get back on the field and

216
00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:06,400
Speaker 1: be able to run around a little bit and catch

217
00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:09,760
Speaker 1: some balls and just have fun doing We love doing. Yeah,

218
00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:11,920
Speaker 1: you bring up a really good point there about normalcy.

219
00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:14,960
Speaker 1: You know, in a normal year, your body is at

220
00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:18,880
Speaker 1: X level, but this year, how much fresher might you

221
00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:20,880
Speaker 1: feel if you're not having to good through OTAs in

222
00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:23,600
Speaker 1: mini camps? Is that Is that a thing that's going

223
00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:26,240
Speaker 1: on with you right now? Yeah? I think it's it's

224
00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:30,160
Speaker 1: you know, it's a catch twenty two. It's frozen cons

225
00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:34,320
Speaker 1: Obviously we're in a very peculiar time with not having

226
00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:37,280
Speaker 1: the opportunity to work in the off season, so obviously

227
00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:38,960
Speaker 1: the body is a little bit more fresh. But at

228
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:41,640
Speaker 1: the same time, there's a lot of things that you know,

229
00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:46,240
Speaker 1: I would do on a personal level of doing body

230
00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:48,240
Speaker 1: correctives and stuff that I haven't been able to do

231
00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:51,199
Speaker 1: that I normally would do during during off season and

232
00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:54,400
Speaker 1: during training camp. So it's the give and take. I'm

233
00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:56,600
Speaker 1: glad to finally be back in the facility and be

234
00:11:56,679 --> 00:11:59,240
Speaker 1: able to work with the training staff here and just

235
00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:01,080
Speaker 1: work on a corrects and doing the little things I

236
00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:03,400
Speaker 1: can to make sure the advice and tiptop shape and

237
00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:06,720
Speaker 1: in game form by the time we get to September,

238
00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:11,000
Speaker 1: no doubt. You know, production from the slot receiver spot

239
00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:14,320
Speaker 1: in this franchise's history is has been spotty to almost

240
00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:18,960
Speaker 1: non existed. You know, You've got a pretty voluminous pass there.

241
00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:21,600
Speaker 1: You've done some things. What are your strengths you think

242
00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:24,079
Speaker 1: as a as a slot receiver first and foremost, I

243
00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:27,679
Speaker 1: hope we can change that. Yeah, I hope that's something

244
00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:30,280
Speaker 1: that I can bring to this team. Uh, you know,

245
00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:33,200
Speaker 1: bring some stability there in the slot and and be

246
00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:35,319
Speaker 1: able to make some things happen. You know, I think

247
00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:37,600
Speaker 1: if you look over the course of my career, most

248
00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:40,160
Speaker 1: of my work has come from the slot and I

249
00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:43,719
Speaker 1: think that I've I've got a pretty good experience. Um,

250
00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:47,280
Speaker 1: you know if you look at my resume from there, so, uh,

251
00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:49,680
Speaker 1: just being able to take what I've learned and what

252
00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:53,240
Speaker 1: I've experienced throughout my career and added into this offense

253
00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:56,559
Speaker 1: and and be able to help shine with understanding what

254
00:12:56,600 --> 00:13:00,199
Speaker 1: I'm good at and um, you know, understanding what he's

255
00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:03,240
Speaker 1: expecting out of me on certain plays and certain concepts. Yeah,

256
00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:05,040
Speaker 1: you bring up to Sean based off of what you

257
00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:07,520
Speaker 1: saw on tape and what you saw when you were

258
00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:10,040
Speaker 1: maybe just watching him over the last few years on

259
00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:13,080
Speaker 1: game broadcast. How is that different than what you've seen

260
00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:15,160
Speaker 1: through these first few days of camp when you've actually

261
00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:17,720
Speaker 1: had a chance to catch a pass or two from him. Yeah,

262
00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:20,960
Speaker 1: I think I think the biggest thing is before you

263
00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:24,320
Speaker 1: can obviously see his talent glaring through the screen, watching

264
00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:28,000
Speaker 1: him in highlights and in gameplay, going back and watching

265
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:29,640
Speaker 1: film and seeing what he's done over the course of

266
00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:33,880
Speaker 1: his career here in his short career, but I think

267
00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:35,959
Speaker 1: being able to work with him on the field, his

268
00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:39,560
Speaker 1: understanding of defenses and understanding of what he's trying to

269
00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:43,280
Speaker 1: do on certain plays. You know, we're starting to build

270
00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:45,480
Speaker 1: that chemistry and that trust, and I think that's going

271
00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:49,240
Speaker 1: to take time and continuing to talk through different scenarios

272
00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:52,400
Speaker 1: and situations. And you know, we're now we have live bodies.

273
00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:55,240
Speaker 1: You know, we've we've thrown on air a little bit,

274
00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:57,760
Speaker 1: but now we have a defense out there, having my

275
00:13:57,880 --> 00:14:01,200
Speaker 1: bodies moving around, being able to us and talk through

276
00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:04,120
Speaker 1: different point of views on certain plays and concepts. How

277
00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:06,319
Speaker 1: comforting has that been for you? Actually getting to do

278
00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:09,880
Speaker 1: that and getting to verbalize things. That's huge because that's

279
00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:12,480
Speaker 1: all football is. You know, it's a game of xs

280
00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:15,240
Speaker 1: and os. You know, all of us are talented. If

281
00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:17,160
Speaker 1: we weren't, we wouldn't be out here on this field.

282
00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:20,920
Speaker 1: So we all have the ability. It's all obviously the

283
00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:23,920
Speaker 1: mental process of it and making sure that we're mentally

284
00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:26,840
Speaker 1: on the same page and understanding what we're trying to accomplish.

285
00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:29,320
Speaker 1: You talk about that talent that's on the field, you

286
00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:31,840
Speaker 1: know at the outside receiver spots. I'm not sure we've

287
00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:35,840
Speaker 1: ever seen this combination of speed with skill. How might

288
00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:38,320
Speaker 1: that help you with what you're trying to accomplish on

289
00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:41,240
Speaker 1: an individual basis, because we all know the team goal

290
00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:43,800
Speaker 1: is getting to the Super Bowl and winning one, but individually,

291
00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:47,720
Speaker 1: how do you think that speed outside might help you? Well,

292
00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:50,040
Speaker 1: I think we feed off each other, you know, of

293
00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:52,440
Speaker 1: being being able to have guys that can take the

294
00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:54,760
Speaker 1: top off, being able to have guys that can work

295
00:14:54,760 --> 00:14:58,240
Speaker 1: to underneath as huge for us as an offense. The

296
00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:01,280
Speaker 1: more playmakers we have on a field, and the more

297
00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:04,840
Speaker 1: that we understand how our concepts matched to mesh together

298
00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:08,560
Speaker 1: and understanding that sometimes it's going to be me getting

299
00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:12,160
Speaker 1: somebody else open on certain places and being able to

300
00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:14,320
Speaker 1: do that and do that at a high level. You know,

301
00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:18,080
Speaker 1: it's it's complimentary football whenever you have a group of

302
00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:20,800
Speaker 1: guys that can come together and understand that that it's

303
00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:23,600
Speaker 1: not about one person, but it's about the team's success.

304
00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:26,440
Speaker 1: So that's what I look forward to, you know, me

305
00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:28,880
Speaker 1: and Cooks and Kenny and Fuller, we've all talked about that.

306
00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:32,720
Speaker 1: We understand what our role will be and you know

307
00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:35,000

396
00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:37,560
Speaker 1: I appreciate it. Mark. There's so much there in this

397
00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:40,960
Speaker 1: interview that I've got to react to so much. Number one,

398
00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:43,119
Speaker 1: I can give you one thing right here, John, go

399
00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:49,679
Speaker 1: Tony Randall, I mean, Drew, there was no way, yeah Randall,

400
00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:54,160
Speaker 1: Cobb was gonna know Tony Randall, who starred with Jack

401
00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:58,920
Speaker 1: Flugman in The Odd Coup. There's no shot. But this

402
00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:01,199
Speaker 1: is one of the great TV themes ever. I mean

403
00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:03,160
Speaker 1: it's one of the best. It's one of the best.

404
00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:04,760
Speaker 1: And this show was so good. You know, when I

405
00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:07,080
Speaker 1: was a kid, they would put reruns on Friday night

406
00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:09,000
Speaker 1: really late, and I would stay up and I could

407
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:11,359
Speaker 1: barely keep my eyes open. I'd watch it. It felt like,

408
00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:13,159
Speaker 1: you know, I was getting away with something. I was

409
00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:15,560
Speaker 1: probably eight or nine or something, and The Odd Couple

410
00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:17,280
Speaker 1: was such a clean show, but at the time it

411
00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:22,359
Speaker 1: just felt so adult to me. Anyway, I find this, uh,

412
00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:24,840
Speaker 1: I mean, I find a kinship to Tony Randall because

413
00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:27,440
Speaker 1: in the odd couple, he is the very OCD. Got

414
00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:29,639
Speaker 1: to keep it clean. You know, this is you and

415
00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:31,879
Speaker 1: me in the in the digital studio. I mean that

416
00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:35,359
Speaker 1: is I'm Oscar Madison all the way. I mean, I

417
00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:38,080
Speaker 1: hate to say, I'm not a slob. No, no, it's

418
00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:41,280
Speaker 1: not very It's just I'm very od. Okay, here's another

419
00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:44,160
Speaker 1: thing that we found at an interview. First of all,

420
00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:47,920
Speaker 1: his chef boyar c nickname is absolutely fantastic. The fact

421
00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:51,720
Speaker 1: that he made lemon blueberry pancakes. I'm like Randall, uh

422
00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:56,800
Speaker 1: he Randall cobb is I mean genesis qua, I mean

423
00:21:57,640 --> 00:22:02,000
Speaker 1: a steak with a cab. I mean, holy cow. I

424
00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:04,480
Speaker 1: got this from him when I interviewed him for the

425
00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:06,720
Speaker 1: season ticket members when we signed him. Then we ran it.

426
00:22:07,040 --> 00:22:11,560
Speaker 1: He's he's really you, Johnny. All these guys, okay, all

00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:22,560
Speaker 1: having mainly thanking the audience. He thanked the media. And

431
00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:24,240
Speaker 1: I was sitting in the room, and so I was

432
00:22:24,280 --> 00:22:26,200
Speaker 1: sitting in the room, and so I heard I could

433
00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:29,200
Speaker 1: hear people on the zoom go. Did he just thank us?

434
00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:33,080
Speaker 1: He's thanked us? He did? But let's hit one final

435
00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:37,359
Speaker 1: one here, Okay. Laramie Tonso listens to shod Day before

436
00:22:37,359 --> 00:22:41,640

Speaker 1: up in or you got mean something? But it's not football.

439
00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:51,200
Speaker 1: But you gotta think like Laramie though. You gotta think

440
00:22:51,240 --> 00:22:53,760
Speaker 1: like Laramie because Laramie can't be all jacked up like

441
00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:56,560
Speaker 1: you know, he can't be that way. Laramie has got

442
00:22:56,560 --> 00:23:00,679
Speaker 1: to be thinking in a good, smooth, clean headspace, you

443
00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:02,840
Speaker 1: know what I mean, because all the guys he has

444
00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:05,160
Speaker 1: to go against, how he's got to dance out there

445
00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:07,880
Speaker 1: with those guys. He's got to be smooth. He's got

446
00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:10,639
Speaker 1: to be feeling it. That's what Shade is, Like, I

Speaker 1: I know everybody's thinking about something else right now though,

457
00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:52,760
Speaker 1: other than football. I mean, was like the go to

458
00:23:53,800 --> 00:23:57,680
Speaker 1: the go to selection, get out the ard DVD or

459
00:23:57,720 --> 00:24:01,160
Speaker 1: the cassette. I'm that old. Okay, listen shuf Henry Ashton.

460
00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:02,880
Speaker 1: I did a whole four hours on that show, and

461
00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:06,280
Speaker 1: uh yeah, it's well on that kind of stuff. Oh yeah,

462
00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:10,719
Speaker 1: on shut in particular. That led to everyone else that

463
00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:13,800
Speaker 1: has songs that led to those sort of things. But

464
00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:17,480
Speaker 1: that is I'm I've been so much. I've been. I've

465
00:24:17,520 --> 00:24:19,879
Speaker 1: been such a fan of Laramie Tounsel for so long,

466
00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:22,919
Speaker 1: and I was so happy when he got here. I

467
00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:25,480
Speaker 1: am even bigger fan. The fact that he listens shut

468
00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:27,800
Speaker 1: at before the game, I think, I think that's absolutely awesome.

469
00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:30,199
Speaker 1: I mean, you want to talk about your blessings as

470
00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:32,720
Speaker 1: a football team. To have Laramie Tounsel here, Oh my goodness.

471
00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:34,959
Speaker 1: And I know I know it wasn't inexpensive as far

472
00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:37,359
Speaker 1: as transactional. So what you know, you got a great

473
00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:40,439
Speaker 1: left tackle. I mean that's it's like expensive quarterbacks. So

474
00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:42,639
Speaker 1: what yea? You have him now? Yeah, and a lot

475
00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:44,600
Speaker 1: of people have to deal with him that you've got

476
00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:47,600
Speaker 1: him the next next four years, this year and three others.

477
00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:51,040
Speaker 1: So that's what's great. Okay, when we get back gut reaction.

478
00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:54,520
Speaker 1: Mark put his eyes on this team this morning, and

479
00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:56,840
Speaker 1: I want to get his thoughts on certain players. I'm

480
00:24:56,840 --> 00:24:58,400
Speaker 1: gonna throw some players at him and get his gut

481
00:24:58,440 --> 00:25:01,840
Speaker 1: reaction to what he season, what he thinks next right

482
00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:07,760
Speaker 1: here at Texans Access Touchdown, Texans Radio continues in a moment,

483
00:25:14,160 --> 00:25:17,160
Speaker 1: this is Justin Reid and that's a ticked off I read,

484
00:25:17,359 --> 00:25:20,359
Speaker 1: and he's gonna store and you're listening to Texans Radio

485
00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:27,000
Speaker 1: all the sweet sound of Justin Reid's voice. Well, it's

486
00:25:27,080 --> 00:25:29,000
Speaker 1: nice to hear from him. He's had a really good

487
00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:32,119
Speaker 1: camp to start. Welcome back to Texans All Access on

488
00:25:32,119 --> 00:25:35,080
Speaker 1: this Monday evening, John Harris and the Voice of Texans

489
00:25:35,119 --> 00:25:38,439
Speaker 1: Mark Van Meer's time for gut reaction. I like to

490
00:25:38,480 --> 00:25:42,320
Speaker 1: do this with Mark to just throw a scenario, or

491
00:25:43,040 --> 00:25:47,240
Speaker 1: throw a situation, or in this case, throw the name

492
00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:50,399
Speaker 1: of a player at Mark and get his gut reaction

493
00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:55,440
Speaker 1: to what not only he has seen what he's been thinking.

494
00:25:55,960 --> 00:25:58,800
Speaker 1: So this gives an opportunity to dive deep into the

495
00:25:58,800 --> 00:26:05,639
Speaker 1: nether regions of the VanderMeer brain. Mark, are you ready ready? Fire?

496
00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:07,880
Speaker 1: I'm gonna start off with the guy that when I

497
00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:13,680
Speaker 1: first saw him, I was so blown away by when

498
00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:16,480
Speaker 1: I saw him, and I cannot wait to see what

499
00:26:16,560 --> 00:26:19,680
Speaker 1: he is able to do as a rookie. Mark your

500
00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:24,080
Speaker 1: gut reaction to seeing Ross Blacklock today? Very light on

501
00:26:24,119 --> 00:26:27,320
Speaker 1: his feet for a guy who weighs nearly three hundred pounds,

502
00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:30,200
Speaker 1: I couldn't believe the way he bounces around. Some guys

503
00:26:30,280 --> 00:26:33,040
Speaker 1: just have that look. They're light on their feet despite

504
00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:35,800
Speaker 1: being three hundred. That's why, you know, when we're talking

505
00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:38,639
Speaker 1: about football teams, especially in college, their offensive law and

506
00:26:38,680 --> 00:26:42,200
Speaker 1: averages three ten across. To listen, there's three ten, and

507
00:26:42,240 --> 00:26:44,919
Speaker 1: there's three ten. Okay, there's three ten. I had too

508
00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:47,359
Speaker 1: many pancakes, and there's three ten. I'm a hell of

509
00:26:47,359 --> 00:26:50,480
Speaker 1: an athlete, all right, And Ross Blacklock is a hell

510
00:26:50,520 --> 00:26:53,760
Speaker 1: of an athlete. I mean he's moving around everywhere. So look, Johnny,

511
00:26:53,840 --> 00:26:56,800
Speaker 1: this is difficult for me. To judge without people. You know,

512
00:26:56,880 --> 00:26:59,280
Speaker 1: regular season, you are permitted to take the head off

513
00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:02,200
Speaker 1: the opponent, and they well, really not. It's a penalty.

514
00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:05,920
Speaker 1: But now they're being very careful with everything. There were

515
00:27:05,960 --> 00:27:08,680
Speaker 1: several times, by the way, the defense would have made

516
00:27:08,800 --> 00:27:11,800
Speaker 1: some outstanding plays today in the backfield or had a

517
00:27:11,920 --> 00:27:15,159
Speaker 1: chance to, because with Watson you never know. And I

518
00:27:15,280 --> 00:27:19,720
Speaker 1: salute the creativity. But Blacklock, that's another subject. Blacklock. I

519
00:27:19,880 --> 00:27:21,600
Speaker 1: was that that was the one thing that jumped out

520
00:27:21,600 --> 00:27:25,080
Speaker 1: gut reaction, was that the kid can move, and that's

521
00:27:25,119 --> 00:27:27,320
Speaker 1: gonna come in handy at that position, at that weight

522
00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:30,480
Speaker 1: and with the people who were blocking him, it certainly will.

523
00:27:30,520 --> 00:27:34,720
Speaker 1: There was one play today that the offense tried to

524
00:27:35,440 --> 00:27:38,639
Speaker 1: They tried kind of just a little quick just throw

525
00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:40,840
Speaker 1: out a little hitch screen, smoke screen, whatever you want

526
00:27:40,840 --> 00:27:42,840
Speaker 1: to call it out to Kiki. I think it's Kiki. Yeah,

527
00:27:42,840 --> 00:27:45,120
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure it's Kiki. And it's one of those

528
00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:48,679
Speaker 1: where if the defensive line has been firing out up

529
00:27:48,720 --> 00:27:50,920
Speaker 1: field and firing out up field a lot of times

530
00:27:50,920 --> 00:27:52,639
Speaker 1: you can catch him. You can hit that little hitch

531
00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:54,680
Speaker 1: screen and they're upfield and then you kind of work

532
00:27:54,720 --> 00:27:57,320
Speaker 1: it behind them with some blocks in front, and so

533
00:27:57,359 --> 00:28:01,359
Speaker 1: that's what they were trying to do. And Ross saw it.

534
00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:06,000
Speaker 1: He read it right away, and he planted and sprinted

535
00:28:06,080 --> 00:28:09,680
Speaker 1: out to Kiki, And as Kiki was about to turn

536
00:28:09,880 --> 00:28:14,200
Speaker 1: up the field, Ross basically reached out with one arm

537
00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:17,159
Speaker 1: and with his hand, his right hand, he just grabbed

538
00:28:17,240 --> 00:28:20,240
Speaker 1: him basically by the back of the jersey. And it's

539
00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:21,840
Speaker 1: like one of those things, you know, and you see

540
00:28:21,920 --> 00:28:23,840
Speaker 1: the cartoons where you know, the big guy picks the

541
00:28:23,840 --> 00:28:25,720
Speaker 1: little guy up and he's still his feet are still

542
00:28:25,760 --> 00:28:27,800
Speaker 1: kind of going like he's riding a bicycle. It was

543
00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:31,920
Speaker 1: almost like that. Kiki literally stopped in his tracks as

544
00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:35,199
Speaker 1: Ross Blacklock just hung on. I shouldn't even say hung on.

545
00:28:35,200 --> 00:28:37,119
Speaker 1: He just latched onto him and was holding him. And

546
00:28:37,119 --> 00:28:40,240
Speaker 1: I just remember writing down I wrote in my book, damn,

547
00:28:41,080 --> 00:28:44,719
Speaker 1: because I don't know, like, how do you even describe that?

548
00:28:45,040 --> 00:28:48,040
Speaker 1: Like what do you how do you even describe what

549
00:28:48,320 --> 00:28:52,080
Speaker 1: just happened? I mean, it was holy smokes. So yeah,

550
00:28:52,080 --> 00:28:55,960
Speaker 1: I'm really excited to see what he's able to bring

551
00:28:56,040 --> 00:28:59,680
Speaker 1: to the party. Okay, let's go to the guy we

552
00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:03,480
Speaker 1: has heard getting us back into the segment. A guy

553
00:29:03,560 --> 00:29:07,000
Speaker 1: going into his third year at safety has made many

554
00:29:07,080 --> 00:29:10,280
Speaker 1: plays for this team. Now healthy. Last year, he played

555
00:29:10,280 --> 00:29:12,480
Speaker 1: the whole year without that show with that shoulder injury,

556
00:29:12,480 --> 00:29:16,840
Speaker 1: the labor that he injured against the Lions in preseason practice,

557
00:29:17,560 --> 00:29:20,640
Speaker 1: played with it all year, was tough, still was a

558
00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:24,160
Speaker 1: leader on his defense. Your gut reaction to seeing Justin

559
00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:27,440
Speaker 1: Reid looks like a five year veteran has been to

560
00:29:27,520 --> 00:29:30,000
Speaker 1: multiple Pro Bowls. I'm not. I'm and listen, I know

561
00:29:30,040 --> 00:29:32,760
Speaker 1: people are gonna say, come on, Vin, listen, I'm not

562
00:29:32,800 --> 00:29:35,760
Speaker 1: overselling it. He just what I'm trying to say here

563
00:29:36,040 --> 00:29:41,120
Speaker 1: is he looks so polished, so pro, so seasoned in

564
00:29:41,200 --> 00:29:44,920
Speaker 1: such a good way. He just looks great out there.

565
00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:48,160
Speaker 1: What can I say? I mean, smooth, making all the

566
00:29:48,240 --> 00:29:51,280
Speaker 1: right moves, knows everything there is to know. And I'm

567
00:29:51,360 --> 00:29:54,120
Speaker 1: so eager to see him playing, as you say healthy,

568
00:29:54,240 --> 00:29:56,400
Speaker 1: because he was gutting it out last year. A lot

569
00:29:56,440 --> 00:29:58,560
Speaker 1: of guys might have said, yeah, I gotta sit out

570
00:29:58,560 --> 00:30:02,440
Speaker 1: for a while, you know, and he didn't. And thank goodness,

571
00:30:02,520 --> 00:30:06,800
Speaker 1: so fired up about Justin Reid's season and he better

572
00:30:06,800 --> 00:30:09,080
Speaker 1: make the Pro Bowl. Not because like I'm putting that

573
00:30:09,240 --> 00:30:10,920
Speaker 1: on him, but I'm putting out people to vote for

574
00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:12,680
Speaker 1: him because I think he's gonna put up a kind

575
00:30:12,680 --> 00:30:14,960
Speaker 1: of campaign that would be worthy of that. Yeah, I

576
00:30:16,160 --> 00:30:19,160
Speaker 1: think the same thing I think he is. That's the

577
00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:20,760
Speaker 1: thing that's out to be. The first couple of days.

578
00:30:20,760 --> 00:30:23,320
Speaker 1: And being on the sideline when he comes over to

579
00:30:23,360 --> 00:30:27,080
Speaker 1: the sideline, he's talking with everybody. I mean, he's talking

580
00:30:27,120 --> 00:30:29,640
Speaker 1: about what routes. He'll come over and say, hey, what

581
00:30:29,720 --> 00:30:31,560
Speaker 1: did you have would you have over there on that side?

582
00:30:31,560 --> 00:30:33,640
Speaker 1: On that He'll want to know talking to the other

583
00:30:33,720 --> 00:30:35,960
Speaker 1: dbs that were on in the field, like what routes

584
00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:38,080
Speaker 1: were there? And there was a point I wrote about

585
00:30:38,080 --> 00:30:43,160
Speaker 1: this and observations on Saturday. They were individuals this period

586
00:30:43,200 --> 00:30:46,120
Speaker 1: in practice where you work on individual skills your position.

587
00:30:46,280 --> 00:30:48,120
Speaker 1: You don't get with any other Unit's just your group

588
00:30:48,160 --> 00:30:51,440
Speaker 1: working together. And so those drills, trust we haven't played

589
00:30:51,480 --> 00:30:53,960
Speaker 1: many many times. Whenever you saw individual period was a

590
00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:56,920
Speaker 1: long individual period, every player hated it. You always wanted

591
00:30:56,920 --> 00:30:59,120
Speaker 1: a short individual period so he could go scrimmage or

592
00:30:59,120 --> 00:31:02,240
Speaker 1: do seven on seven or inside drill or whatever. You

593
00:31:02,320 --> 00:31:05,720
Speaker 1: hated individual. Well, I'm watching, I'm watching the different drills

594
00:31:05,760 --> 00:31:07,160
Speaker 1: that are going on, and I happened to look down

595
00:31:07,680 --> 00:31:10,520
Speaker 1: and I see the DBS working on this drill. It's

596
00:31:10,560 --> 00:31:12,880
Speaker 1: basically it's kind of like a sling shot cover drill

597
00:31:13,400 --> 00:31:16,320
Speaker 1: and Justin I just saw Justin Reid do that drill

598
00:31:16,320 --> 00:31:19,000
Speaker 1: an individual and I was like, he did it with

599
00:31:19,120 --> 00:31:24,280
Speaker 1: such such emphasis. Well, a little while later they were

600
00:31:24,320 --> 00:31:27,360
Speaker 1: doing a one on one drill and he used that

601
00:31:27,480 --> 00:31:31,440
Speaker 1: technique that he was using an individual drill in the

602
00:31:31,880 --> 00:31:34,040
Speaker 1: one on one drill to come up with an interception,

603
00:31:34,280 --> 00:31:36,880
Speaker 1: and I just thought, man, that's a level of play

604
00:31:37,200 --> 00:31:40,160
Speaker 1: where you've taken. Where you've taken that level of play too.

605
00:31:40,560 --> 00:31:45,360
Speaker 1: That is man. It's hard, it's hard to reach, but

606
00:31:45,480 --> 00:31:48,040
Speaker 1: he's the kind of guy I think UH can can

607
00:31:48,080 --> 00:31:52,200
Speaker 1: get there and definitely UH do some things for you. Okay,

608
00:31:52,880 --> 00:31:55,280
Speaker 1: we we've talked about David Johnson. You've you've kind of

609
00:31:55,280 --> 00:31:59,200
Speaker 1: given me your gut reaction, uh to David Johnson. So

610
00:31:59,760 --> 00:32:03,160
Speaker 1: I won't go with David Johnson at all. I'll go

611
00:32:03,200 --> 00:32:06,320
Speaker 1: to this. We've seen him for a couple of years.

612
00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:10,320
Speaker 1: But the first few days in training camp practice this year,

613
00:32:11,120 --> 00:32:15,200
Speaker 1: I would say one of the arrows pointing way up

614
00:32:15,200 --> 00:32:18,600
Speaker 1: on a guy is tight end. Jordan Thomas. Where your

615
00:32:18,600 --> 00:32:21,040
Speaker 1: gut reaction What was your gut reaction to seeing him.

616
00:32:21,560 --> 00:32:25,640
Speaker 1: It's more like what I expected last year's natural transition

617
00:32:25,680 --> 00:32:29,000
Speaker 1: to be, you know, And I think that maybe sitting

618
00:32:29,320 --> 00:32:32,280
Speaker 1: has really helped him. I mean there, Look, there's a

619
00:32:32,320 --> 00:32:34,680
Speaker 1: song in Hamilton where they talk about why do you

620
00:32:34,760 --> 00:32:37,160
Speaker 1: write like you're running out of time? You know, why

621
00:32:37,200 --> 00:32:38,840
Speaker 1: do you write like you're running out of time? Three

622
00:32:38,840 --> 00:32:42,240
Speaker 1: people got that. But anyway, he's one of those guys.

623
00:32:42,240 --> 00:32:44,280
Speaker 1: Stevie Mitchell to me is one of those guys and

624
00:32:44,440 --> 00:32:46,440
Speaker 1: Kiki qt is one of those guys who are just

625
00:32:46,760 --> 00:32:51,880
Speaker 1: hustling all the time out there because they feel like, oh,

626
00:32:51,920 --> 00:32:54,480
Speaker 1: I need to do something here if I'm gonna make

627
00:32:54,520 --> 00:32:58,880
Speaker 1: this squad. It's very competitive at my position group. And

628
00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:02,400
Speaker 1: for Thomas to clearly he is, I think that if

629
00:33:02,520 --> 00:33:04,720
Speaker 1: the funny thing to me today, Johnny, and I think

630
00:33:04,720 --> 00:33:07,160
Speaker 1: I mentioned this to you. You see him standing up

631
00:33:07,200 --> 00:33:10,360
Speaker 1: next to Darren Fells. Fells is a big boy. He's

632
00:33:10,400 --> 00:33:15,480
Speaker 1: two inches taller. He's You could see why Fells had

633
00:33:15,480 --> 00:33:18,080
Speaker 1: the kind of year he had. The question to me

634
00:33:18,200 --> 00:33:20,480
Speaker 1: is why didn't it happen sooner? Why did people just

635
00:33:20,680 --> 00:33:23,800
Speaker 1: why didn't people just discover him as a weapon sooner?

636
00:33:24,040 --> 00:33:25,880
Speaker 1: The kind of weapon he was last year for this

637
00:33:25,880 --> 00:33:29,360
Speaker 1: football team and his ability to adjust with Watson's improvisation.

638
00:33:30,080 --> 00:33:32,520
Speaker 1: But I think Thomas is definitely up with the task.

639
00:33:32,640 --> 00:33:34,480
Speaker 1: And we saw make some really nice catches today and

640
00:33:34,520 --> 00:33:36,800
Speaker 1: I know he's done it already this cap, so good

641
00:33:36,840 --> 00:33:39,560
Speaker 1: start for him. This is a don't put him in

642
00:33:39,640 --> 00:33:44,080
Speaker 1: Canton yet, but kind of guy right here. Jordan Thomas

643
00:33:44,200 --> 00:33:47,240
Speaker 1: off to a really good start. Yeah, JT. I think

644
00:33:47,320 --> 00:33:51,960
Speaker 1: has consistently made plays. And I'll say this because we're

645
00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:54,320
Speaker 1: on radio. I did write just one sentence about this,

646
00:33:55,280 --> 00:33:57,560
Speaker 1: but Mark, I think they signed a pretty good rookie

647
00:33:57,600 --> 00:34:01,360
Speaker 1: tight end too. Dylan Staple to James Madison, he look,

648
00:34:01,440 --> 00:34:05,320
Speaker 1: he made a catch today, uh in one on ones.

649
00:34:05,480 --> 00:34:08,480
Speaker 1: I looked up and I'm like, man, he just consistently

650
00:34:08,560 --> 00:34:10,800
Speaker 1: is doing some good things. And I think he's probably

651
00:34:10,880 --> 00:34:15,279
Speaker 1: more receiver than he is blocker probably right now. But

652
00:34:15,400 --> 00:34:17,400
Speaker 1: he blocks pretty well too. You know. He's the one

653
00:34:17,400 --> 00:34:20,000
Speaker 1: thing about tight ends, are you willing to do it.

654
00:34:20,120 --> 00:34:22,360
Speaker 1: If you're willing to do it, you're willing to learn

655
00:34:22,440 --> 00:34:25,000
Speaker 1: and you're going to get better at some point. But

656
00:34:25,120 --> 00:34:28,840
Speaker 1: there's such a log jam at this particular position, and

657
00:34:29,200 --> 00:34:34,239
Speaker 1: as you always said, injuries can sort that thing out

658
00:34:34,280 --> 00:34:36,640
Speaker 1: for you. But as long as Dylan Stapleton just keep

659
00:34:36,719 --> 00:34:40,080
Speaker 1: stacking up good days, the coaching staff's gonna find something.

660
00:34:40,120 --> 00:34:41,840
Speaker 1: I think they really like. He's a good athlete. His

661
00:34:41,880 --> 00:34:44,359
Speaker 1: brother was the wide receiver on the team. So those

662
00:34:44,360 --> 00:34:48,440
Speaker 1: two Stapletons did a lot of good things for James Madisons,

663
00:34:49,040 --> 00:34:51,080
Speaker 1: like the you know, you know when they when they

664
00:34:51,080 --> 00:34:54,880
Speaker 1: didn't retain Griffin, I thought, really, but you know, they

665
00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:57,440
Speaker 1: drafted Wearing and all that, and I thought, wow, they're

666
00:34:57,560 --> 00:34:59,680
Speaker 1: really going in another direction because I always thought Ryan

667
00:34:59,680 --> 00:35:01,680
Speaker 1: was pret good. You know, he did some good things here.

668
00:35:02,320 --> 00:35:04,680
Speaker 1: But you could see it, you could see why. I mean,

669
00:35:04,719 --> 00:35:08,719
Speaker 1: they feel like they've elevated everything and they have. Yeah. Absolutely, Okay,

670
00:35:08,760 --> 00:35:10,360
Speaker 1: we get back. We got to go around the league,

671
00:35:10,400 --> 00:35:14,480
Speaker 1: and we will go around the AFC South in particular. Oh,

672
00:35:14,560 --> 00:35:18,560
Speaker 1: there's some attrition in Jacksonville. There was a tryout in

673
00:35:18,840 --> 00:35:21,759
Speaker 1: Nashville and more around the league. Will do that next

693
00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:42,400
Speaker 1: all there for you, okay, Mark, Jacksonville Jaguars, We've got

694
00:36:42,440 --> 00:36:44,680
Speaker 1: some good things going on down there and Jacksonville Josh

695
00:36:44,719 --> 00:36:47,360
Speaker 1: all looks like he's gonna be a star. Early reviews

696
00:36:47,360 --> 00:36:50,880
Speaker 1: on CJ. Henderson apparently have been pretty good the Rookie Corner,

697
00:36:51,880 --> 00:36:54,840
Speaker 1: but today or over the last couple of days, they've

698
00:36:54,880 --> 00:36:58,760
Speaker 1: lost third round tight end in twenty nineteen, Josh Oliver

699
00:36:58,920 --> 00:37:02,920
Speaker 1: again for the season. They lost second round linebacker from

700
00:37:02,920 --> 00:37:07,040
Speaker 1: twenty nineteen, Quincy Williams with a core muscle injury, and

701
00:37:07,080 --> 00:37:11,200
Speaker 1: they also lost Rodney Gunter, who had to retire due

702
00:37:11,239 --> 00:37:14,680
Speaker 1: to a physical that he took when he was in

703
00:37:14,800 --> 00:37:18,359
Speaker 1: Jacksonville for the Jacksonville Jaguars as he signed as one

704
00:37:18,400 --> 00:37:22,200
Speaker 1: of their interior defensive line free agents. Apparently, when Doug

705
00:37:22,239 --> 00:37:24,600
Speaker 1: Moron went to the microphone this morning, he was very

706
00:37:24,640 --> 00:37:27,520
Speaker 1: distraught with all that's happened. But as he said, and

707
00:37:27,560 --> 00:37:29,840
Speaker 1: he's been on the NFL wills, Look, it's the NFL.

708
00:37:30,239 --> 00:37:31,920
Speaker 1: You deal with it and you move on. But man,

709
00:37:32,400 --> 00:37:34,399
Speaker 1: it's not a lot of big names, Mark, but those

710
00:37:34,440 --> 00:37:38,040
Speaker 1: three guys were expected to add something pretty pretty significant

711
00:37:38,080 --> 00:37:40,640
Speaker 1: to the Jaguars this year in twenty twenty. Well, you

712
00:37:40,800 --> 00:37:43,520
Speaker 1: have to, if you're a Jags fan, hope that you

713
00:37:43,719 --> 00:37:46,080
Speaker 1: find it's not even diamonds in the rough. I mean,

714
00:37:46,120 --> 00:37:48,680
Speaker 1: these are jewels that you need to come through for

715
00:37:48,880 --> 00:37:52,360
Speaker 1: you And you're right, not household names, but that's the

716
00:37:52,360 --> 00:37:54,400
Speaker 1: only way you're gonna get better because it's not like

717
00:37:54,440 --> 00:37:56,600
Speaker 1: they went nuts and free agency again and like, oh

718
00:37:56,640 --> 00:37:59,279
Speaker 1: my gosh, they had another free agent bananza which worked

719
00:37:59,280 --> 00:38:01,320
Speaker 1: really well for them, and twenty seventeen for one season,

720
00:38:01,360 --> 00:38:04,799
Speaker 1: then you know, resulted in a meltdown. Now you're trying

721
00:38:04,800 --> 00:38:07,279
Speaker 1: to build in different ways and if it doesn't work out,

722
00:38:08,080 --> 00:38:10,480
Speaker 1: what are you gonna do? Like watch them be the

723
00:38:10,520 --> 00:38:13,279
Speaker 1: surprise team? Though, It's just you know, that's how the

724
00:38:13,400 --> 00:38:16,040
Speaker 1: NFL goes sometimes, you know. I was thinking about them, Johnny,

725
00:38:16,040 --> 00:38:18,000
Speaker 1: and I was thinking about the division and how it

726
00:38:18,080 --> 00:38:21,279
Speaker 1: was a decade plus ago and the Jags even when

727
00:38:21,280 --> 00:38:24,800
Speaker 1: they started to slide back, even when they still had Garrard,

728
00:38:25,200 --> 00:38:27,759
Speaker 1: you know, Garrard, they had a really nice season in

729
00:38:27,800 --> 00:38:30,239
Speaker 1: two thousand and seven. That's when they beat Pittsburgh at

730
00:38:31,280 --> 00:38:33,040
Speaker 1: both wins were on the road. They beat them on

731
00:38:33,080 --> 00:38:35,120
Speaker 1: the road in the regular season and in the playoffs,

732
00:38:35,800 --> 00:38:38,160
Speaker 1: like they did in twenty seventeen. Right, did they do

733
00:38:38,280 --> 00:38:42,359
Speaker 1: both in twenty seventeen. Yeah. But anyway, even when they

734
00:38:42,360 --> 00:38:45,120
Speaker 1: weren't having great years with Garrard, they could still give

735
00:38:45,160 --> 00:38:49,000
Speaker 1: you a game and make you miserable, right, yeah, I

736
00:38:49,080 --> 00:38:51,160
Speaker 1: mean they did in two thousand and nine with the

737
00:38:51,200 --> 00:38:54,040
Speaker 1: Houston Texans, who went nine and seven and had a

738
00:38:54,080 --> 00:38:56,239
Speaker 1: winning season for the first time ever. But somehow we're

739
00:38:56,280 --> 00:38:59,279
Speaker 1: one and five in the AFC South. That's what the

740
00:38:59,320 --> 00:39:01,480
Speaker 1: Texans weren't too thousand and nine, yet they were nine

741
00:39:01,520 --> 00:39:05,200
Speaker 1: at seven. Bizarre, but a big part of that the Jags.

742
00:39:05,520 --> 00:39:09,000
Speaker 1: Jags were winners at home and the road against the

743
00:39:09,000 --> 00:39:12,319
Speaker 1: Texans and it was huge for them. They were and

744
00:39:12,400 --> 00:39:14,360
Speaker 1: they could do that. I don't know if they have

745
00:39:14,480 --> 00:39:17,359
Speaker 1: that now. I don't think they have that capability now,

746
00:39:17,400 --> 00:39:19,359
Speaker 1: but I think they do have the capability to give

747
00:39:19,360 --> 00:39:21,120
Speaker 1: you a game, because they did with the Texans last year.

748
00:39:21,160 --> 00:39:24,560
Speaker 1: They almost won the game. Yeah, and with Minshew back there,

749
00:39:24,640 --> 00:39:29,239
Speaker 1: you just never know. You just never know with him.

750
00:39:29,280 --> 00:39:32,000
Speaker 1: You never know if you get if you get Minshew Mania,

751
00:39:32,040 --> 00:39:33,920
Speaker 1: if you get Gardner Minshew. And I mean in London,

752
00:39:34,040 --> 00:39:35,960
Speaker 1: like I've said many times, we faced Gardner Minshew. We

753
00:39:35,960 --> 00:39:38,600
Speaker 1: shut him down. We faced Minshumanian in the fourth quarter

754
00:39:38,640 --> 00:39:43,000
Speaker 1: here at Energy Stadium and he went nuts and nearly

755
00:39:43,120 --> 00:39:46,920
Speaker 1: pulled that thing, pulled a wind from his backside. And

756
00:39:46,920 --> 00:39:49,040
Speaker 1: there's no way he should have even been in that position.

757
00:39:49,080 --> 00:39:52,680
Speaker 1: But that said, he's probably gonna have to do it again.

758
00:39:52,719 --> 00:39:56,120
Speaker 1: I all I'm let to make sure I say this properly.

759
00:39:56,680 --> 00:40:00,520
Speaker 1: I'm always uncomfortable when we play the Jags because I

760
00:40:00,560 --> 00:40:04,120
Speaker 1: feel like the prevailing thought is, oh, we should win

761
00:40:04,200 --> 00:40:08,680
Speaker 1: this game going away, and yet man, they're all they're gonna,

762
00:40:08,840 --> 00:40:10,360
Speaker 1: I don't know, they're just gonna find a way. I

763
00:40:10,360 --> 00:40:13,640
Speaker 1: remember when we went there in twenty it was a

764
00:40:13,760 --> 00:40:18,080
Speaker 1: fifteen I think it was fifteen. Yeah, I think it

765
00:40:18,120 --> 00:40:21,279
Speaker 1: was twenty fifteen, and we were we were struggling, we

766
00:40:21,320 --> 00:40:24,439
Speaker 1: had to get a win, and they just kept hanging

767
00:40:24,440 --> 00:40:26,240
Speaker 1: around with us. You know, look like we were gonna,

768
00:40:26,360 --> 00:40:28,160
Speaker 1: you know, kind of run not run away with it,

769
00:40:28,200 --> 00:40:30,080
Speaker 1: but we were gonna get this win that we needed

770
00:40:30,080 --> 00:40:33,000
Speaker 1: to kind of kickstart this season really, and we just

771
00:40:33,440 --> 00:40:36,120
Speaker 1: couldn't get couldn't get away from them. We get a

772
00:40:36,120 --> 00:40:38,160
Speaker 1: fourteen point lead, they cut at the seven, we get

773
00:40:38,160 --> 00:40:41,200
Speaker 1: a ten point lead, they cut at the three, and

774
00:40:41,239 --> 00:40:43,799
Speaker 1: it was just they shouldn't have been hanging in with us,

775
00:40:43,880 --> 00:40:47,320
Speaker 1: and yet there they were. And maybe that's just the NFL,

776
00:40:47,400 --> 00:40:49,440
Speaker 1: I don't know, Maybe it just is Maybe it's division

777
00:40:49,480 --> 00:40:52,319
Speaker 1: teams within the NFL. I don't know, but they just

778
00:40:52,320 --> 00:40:54,279
Speaker 1: always make me uncomfortable. And what makes me even more

779
00:40:54,360 --> 00:40:57,640
Speaker 1: uncomfortable this year. Mark is They've got some good young talent.

780
00:40:58,000 --> 00:41:00,279
Speaker 1: I just think it's gonna be a little while. But

781
00:41:00,600 --> 00:41:02,799
Speaker 1: Caleb and Chason added to the mix. He's been banged

782
00:41:02,880 --> 00:41:04,239
Speaker 1: ups and not doing a whole lot of practice. But

783
00:41:04,360 --> 00:41:07,479
Speaker 1: Josh Allen defensive and as a stud. CJ. Henderson looks

784
00:41:07,520 --> 00:41:11,000
Speaker 1: like he is absolutely legit at corner. So they're gonna

785
00:41:11,000 --> 00:41:12,960
Speaker 1: and DJ Chark he's been there for a few years.

786
00:41:13,040 --> 00:41:15,120
Speaker 1: You don't know what Leonard Fronette's gonna give them. Who knows,

787
00:41:15,400 --> 00:41:17,520
Speaker 1: But it feels like they've got some young talent, but

788
00:41:17,640 --> 00:41:22,520
Speaker 1: just not enough of it to make consistent noise all

789
00:41:22,520 --> 00:41:24,600
Speaker 1: the time. Like they'll hit a couple of keys here

790
00:41:24,680 --> 00:41:26,440
Speaker 1: or there. They'll hit a couple of notes and it'll

791
00:41:26,480 --> 00:41:28,560
Speaker 1: sound great, but they're not gonna be able to string

792
00:41:28,600 --> 00:41:30,920
Speaker 1: it together for a whole song, if I use my

793
00:41:31,600 --> 00:41:34,640
Speaker 1: musical metaphor. There one other guy who had a try

794
00:41:34,680 --> 00:41:41,000
Speaker 1: out today in the AFC South in Nashville at Tennessee

795
00:41:41,840 --> 00:41:44,440
Speaker 1: was the name that you know him, Mark Deonta Foreman

796
00:41:44,840 --> 00:41:47,360
Speaker 1: get an opportunity to try out for Mike Vrabel's Tennessee Titans.

797
00:41:47,360 --> 00:41:49,960
Speaker 1: What do you think about that? Well, they know him. Okay,

798
00:41:50,120 --> 00:41:52,040
Speaker 1: they know who he is. They know that he's got

799
00:41:52,080 --> 00:41:55,120
Speaker 1: a lot of talent. And Vrabel was here in twenty

800
00:41:55,160 --> 00:41:58,399
Speaker 1: seventeen when Watson got hurt and Foreman at his best

801
00:41:58,400 --> 00:42:00,920
Speaker 1: game that was against Arizona, Right, wasn't two touchdowns and

802
00:42:00,960 --> 00:42:03,839
Speaker 1: then he ripped up the killer. So Brabel knows all

803
00:42:03,880 --> 00:42:07,920
Speaker 1: about that. And when you know a player, you figure, well,

804
00:42:07,960 --> 00:42:11,680
Speaker 1: I know there's talent there. Let's see if things have changed,

805
00:42:11,800 --> 00:42:15,200
Speaker 1: if he's ready to go, fully healthy and fully engaged,

806
00:42:15,960 --> 00:42:18,400
Speaker 1: and not that he wasn't engaged before. But for whatever reason,

807
00:42:18,400 --> 00:42:21,279
Speaker 1: it didn't work out here and in Indianapolis. That's why

808
00:42:21,320 --> 00:42:23,640
Speaker 1: I said earlier when you said, well he tried out

809
00:42:23,640 --> 00:42:25,239
Speaker 1: for an AFC team, I can tell you which tool

810
00:42:25,239 --> 00:42:27,839
Speaker 1: wouldn't be. It wouldn't be indian here. So it's either

811
00:42:27,880 --> 00:42:32,000
Speaker 1: Tennessee or Jacksonville. And Tennessee has some injury problems, right,

812
00:42:32,080 --> 00:42:38,279
Speaker 1: Johnny I Tennessee Jacksonville is not the only one. Why

813
00:42:38,280 --> 00:42:41,520
Speaker 1: did TANNEHILLMS practice today? By the way, it's a good question.

814
00:42:41,600 --> 00:42:46,319
Speaker 1: They tried out to Sean Kaiser and Trevor simme in. Yeah,

815
00:42:46,320 --> 00:42:49,040
Speaker 1: they were both there today. Yeah, quarterbacks? How about that?

816
00:42:49,600 --> 00:42:52,239
Speaker 1: M Trevor it was funny. Drew was trying to catch

817
00:42:52,239 --> 00:42:54,320
Speaker 1: me a little bit, he said. He sent the text

818
00:42:54,680 --> 00:42:56,880
Speaker 1: to us and was like, hmm interesting, and that's all

819
00:42:56,880 --> 00:43:00,479
Speaker 1: he put. He put the little little eyes emoji, like hey,

820
00:43:00,480 --> 00:43:02,960
Speaker 1: look at this, and I was like, oh yeah, sweet

821
00:43:02,960 --> 00:43:05,719
Speaker 1: Trevor Simeon trying out in Tennessee. I knew all along

822
00:43:05,760 --> 00:43:09,160
Speaker 1: he was talking about Deonta Foreman. But Trevor Simmeons won

823
00:43:09,160 --> 00:43:12,440
Speaker 1: a game or two here there. Um, I wait, was

824
00:43:12,480 --> 00:43:18,640
Speaker 1: he the Broncos quarterback when the Rumble game Thrumble game? Good? Lord,

825
00:43:18,719 --> 00:43:20,840
Speaker 1: See that's another game with it. That's another game with

826
00:43:20,920 --> 00:43:23,520
Speaker 1: the name or at least a play him. We need

827
00:43:23,600 --> 00:43:25,360
Speaker 1: to we need to go through plays and games that

828
00:43:25,480 --> 00:43:29,120
Speaker 1: have names good, good, and bad. Yeah, And that's definitely what.

829
00:43:29,239 --> 00:43:32,200
Speaker 1: I don't know who did. Was it Sean Pendergast who

830
00:43:32,320 --> 00:43:33,880
Speaker 1: came up with that name? I'm not I don't know,

831
00:43:34,360 --> 00:43:36,160
Speaker 1: but it would. By the time we got on a

832
00:43:36,239 --> 00:43:38,400
Speaker 1: bus just to fly home that night, it was already

833
00:43:39,320 --> 00:43:41,920
Speaker 1: it was already a thing. Uh what's also a thing?

834
00:43:42,640 --> 00:43:45,320
Speaker 1: Real quickly before in the show, Rob Gronkowski, according to

835
00:43:45,360 --> 00:43:48,360
Speaker 1: Bruce Arians is in and I quote New England shape,

836
00:43:48,880 --> 00:43:51,759
Speaker 1: but he's not in Florida shape and I quote that

837
00:43:51,920 --> 00:43:54,799
Speaker 1: humidity and heats kicking his ass pretty good, said Ariens.

838
00:43:55,920 --> 00:44:00,280
Speaker 1: Oh nice, Yeah, so continue, yeah, let it, let it Cane.

839
00:44:00,320 --> 00:44:02,240
Speaker 1: But you know what, Mark as lung as it continues

840
00:44:02,320 --> 00:44:06,360
Speaker 1: over in the NFC South, Yeah, I'm totally fine with it,

841
00:44:07,080 --> 00:44:10,160
Speaker 1: totally and completely fine. Gronk and Brady back together, have

842
00:44:10,400 --> 00:44:15,200
Speaker 1: at it. Boys, just do it over there. And apparently

843
00:44:15,239 --> 00:44:18,720
Speaker 1: the Patriots all three quarterbacks got reps with the Ones today,

844
00:44:18,840 --> 00:44:21,759
Speaker 1: so no starting quarterback decisions have been made, which I

845
00:44:21,840 --> 00:44:25,879
Speaker 1: don't think should surprise anybody. So Patriots fans, you still

846
00:44:25,880 --> 00:44:29,839
Speaker 1: have some time to watch and wonder what's gonna happen

847
00:44:29,920 --> 00:44:33,279
Speaker 1: with your quarterback position. Mark, we got to cut it there.

848
00:44:33,680 --> 00:44:36,640
Speaker 1: Thank you so much. We will be back tomorrow. The
