Mark are you doing 6 00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:20,800 Speaker 1: You're coming off a Friday night wind, so to speak? 7 00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:25,599 Speaker 1: In the UH Boots Serchs Troops. Oh yeah, that was fun. 8 00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:28,440 Speaker 1: The Boots for Troops deal. They really do a lot 9 00:00:28,520 --> 00:00:30,880 Speaker 1: of great things for veterans who are out there and 10 00:00:31,080 --> 00:00:34,639 Speaker 1: need care packages and things like that. And I just 11 00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:37,800 Speaker 1: agreed to be a third base coach. I had no 12 00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:39,479 Speaker 1: idea what it was getting myself into. I was on 13 00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:41,879 Speaker 1: Pendergas team, yes, and there was a lot of pressure. 14 00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:43,760 Speaker 1: These guys were really into this. Okay. I was on 15 00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:46,280 Speaker 1: the veterans team and Landry Locker was the manager of 16 00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:50,840 Speaker 1: the Civilians and he was coaching first. I guess for them. 17 00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:53,600 Speaker 1: You know, in college baseball, don't a lot of college 18 00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:57,160 Speaker 1: baseball coaches coach third Yeah, that was my experience at 19 00:00:57,280 --> 00:01:00,000 Speaker 1: a levels like Central Michigan. You Masison, I was there. 20 00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:02,920 Speaker 1: The headman always wanted to be standing there at third base. 21 00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:06,280 Speaker 1: Certain cases, Skip Burtman didn't Skip. Burtman had smoke Laval 22 00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:08,880 Speaker 1: who was the third base coach, and then Skip. These 23 00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:11,160 Speaker 1: guys are good. Those guys were good. Man. I actually 24 00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:14,080 Speaker 1: did some games featuring those guys at LSU. Anyway, that 25 00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:16,600 Speaker 1: was fun. Though I'm waving them home and you know, 26 00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:18,520 Speaker 1: they would kind of count on me after a while. 27 00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:22,479 Speaker 1: It was weird, guys. I don't know, use your judgment. 28 00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:25,160 Speaker 1: What could possibly go wrong? You know, you don't have 29 00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:28,160 Speaker 1: the veterans to lose Man. They walked, they really pulled 30 00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:29,560 Speaker 1: away in the later ratings. It was a lot of 31 00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:31,959 Speaker 1: fun up there in tom Ball, that great facility they have, 32 00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:35,840 Speaker 1: and it was cold, but it was great and excellent. 33 00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:37,720 Speaker 1: To say a lott to everybody out there. We have 34 00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:40,360 Speaker 1: so many listeners and fans who are out there and 35 00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:42,319 Speaker 1: everywhere in the city. It's just great to get out 36 00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:44,959 Speaker 1: and about. And here's some of the love for the 37 00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:47,840 Speaker 1: Demiko higher the excitement for twenty twenty three and beyond. 38 00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:50,520 Speaker 1: It's great. And on that note, Demko will be joining 39 00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:55,280 Speaker 1: us Wednesday night head coach Demiko Ryan. Circle your calendars 40 00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:59,360 Speaker 1: the twenty second of February. We will have Demico Ryan's 41 00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:01,760 Speaker 1: on with Mark and myself. I'm looking forward to that 42 00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:06,240 Speaker 1: because I've never met Demko. That's amazing. I know, I remember, 43 00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:08,639 Speaker 1: never met Demko. I haven't seen a building, but I did. 44 00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:11,800 Speaker 1: I did see Garw Johnson today. Yeah, that was cool. 45 00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:14,760 Speaker 1: He was he was upstairs getting some HR work done 46 00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:16,239 Speaker 1: and happened to see him there and I was like, 47 00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:18,320 Speaker 1: that's garade. So it was cool to see him. And 48 00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:22,520 Speaker 1: I kept two doors down from HR, so you see everybody. 49 00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:26,080 Speaker 1: They all go in there because everybody, the HR people 50 00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:29,920 Speaker 1: are important to people's lives. They are very, very important 51 00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:32,920 Speaker 1: to people's lives. There's no no question about that. I 52 00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:34,720 Speaker 1: want to get your thoughts. I want to get into 53 00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:38,519 Speaker 1: an article that I wrote last Friday deal with changes 54 00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:40,760 Speaker 1: in the AFC. It's pretty remarkable. I want to get 55 00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:43,040 Speaker 1: into that a little bit, especially the AFC South. But 56 00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:47,000 Speaker 1: XFL started this weekend and I didn't watch all of it. 57 00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:48,919 Speaker 1: I watched some of it. I didn't get too much 58 00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:52,960 Speaker 1: into it, but I know the one piece that got 59 00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:56,600 Speaker 1: my attention the most because I have been one hundred 60 00:02:56,680 --> 00:03:01,359 Speaker 1: percent in favor of this, because I cringe every time 61 00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:04,600 Speaker 1: there's an onside kick. I cringe, not because I know 62 00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:07,920 Speaker 1: a team's not going to recover it or not recover 63 00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:12,000 Speaker 1: it or what. None of that. The collisions that happened 64 00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:15,280 Speaker 1: on an onside kick are brutal, and so I've always 65 00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:18,320 Speaker 1: looked and what else could they do? Well, the XFL 66 00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:20,120 Speaker 1: came up with it, and I think it may have 67 00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:22,160 Speaker 1: been somewhere else came up with it first. They came 68 00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:25,400 Speaker 1: up with fourth and fifteen as an onside kick. Ye 69 00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:28,720 Speaker 1: from your twenty five or twenty or something like that, 70 00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:31,040 Speaker 1: twenty or twenty five, can remember what it was. Aj 71 00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:35,440 Speaker 1: McCarron pulled it off playing quarterback for the Saint Louis BattleHawks. 72 00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:39,240 Speaker 1: I believe it was Yep. They were down scored, they 73 00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:41,400 Speaker 1: decided to go for an onside kick, and I say 74 00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:44,920 Speaker 1: that air quotes fourth and fifteen. You convert the fourth 75 00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:47,000 Speaker 1: and fifteen, you just keep going. If you don't, the 76 00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:50,840 Speaker 1: ball turns over at that point to the defense and 77 00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:52,800 Speaker 1: you're probably cooked at that point because the balls at 78 00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:54,640 Speaker 1: the twenty or twenty five because it's just didn't complete 79 00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:57,480 Speaker 1: pass or wherever they tackle you. But they got it. 80 00:03:57,560 --> 00:03:59,280 Speaker 1: Then they went down and scored and ended up winning 81 00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:02,040 Speaker 1: that football game. Your thoughts on fourth and fifteen. I 82 00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:04,360 Speaker 1: don't like it. I don't like it at all. I 83 00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:07,280 Speaker 1: don't like it. On the record say it. I don't 84 00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:09,600 Speaker 1: like the the fifteen. I know it's exciting, you know, 85 00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:12,440 Speaker 1: and I like it when it's somebody else playing football, 86 00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:15,240 Speaker 1: and not in the Houston Texans when it's my team playing. 87 00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:18,880 Speaker 1: And let's just say, you've done a great job all day, 88 00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:22,720 Speaker 1: but Mahomes and the Chiefs get a late touchdown against you, 89 00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:26,160 Speaker 1: right that guy. Yeah, they get down the field, they score. 90 00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:29,120 Speaker 1: Your defense is gassed. You've worked hard to try to 91 00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:31,960 Speaker 1: slow him down. You have the lead, and now when 92 00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:34,800 Speaker 1: you should be lining up for their on side kick 93 00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:36,760 Speaker 1: at ten, which has what like a ten to fifteen 94 00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:40,760 Speaker 1: percent chance tops, now you've got Patrick Mahomes against a 95 00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:44,360 Speaker 1: tired defense on fourth and fifteen from his twenty five. 96 00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:46,159 Speaker 1: Here it is, it's the twenty five yard line, not 97 00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:49,000 Speaker 1: the twenty. I would be more in favor of it 98 00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:53,840 Speaker 1: if it was from your ten or fifteen, oh much more. 99 00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:57,279 Speaker 1: But at the twenty five. Let's say they get it. Now, 100 00:04:57,320 --> 00:05:01,320 Speaker 1: they got it at the forty minimum, right, forty forty 101 00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:05,800 Speaker 1: five minimum, and you're a throwaway from field goal range 102 00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:09,360 Speaker 1: or a hail merrit. You're right in hail Merry range already. Yeah, 103 00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:12,760 Speaker 1: don't like it one little bit, Johnny on sidekick, I 104 00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:15,440 Speaker 1: don't I know what you're saying. And it's low percentage. 105 00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:18,400 Speaker 1: I'd love to see something a little higher percentage, but 106 00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:21,120 Speaker 1: I don't want to give them an automatic spot on 107 00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:24,840 Speaker 1: fourth and fifteen, where if they converted, they're already within 108 00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:27,000 Speaker 1: a play of being in range nine to Oh. Look 109 00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:28,880 Speaker 1: if you make it the ten yard line and you 110 00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:31,039 Speaker 1: convert and you're at the thirty, yeah, you're within a 111 00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:32,920 Speaker 1: play as well, but it's a longer play. It's a 112 00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:35,720 Speaker 1: lower percentage chance to win the game. How about this 113 00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:39,039 Speaker 1: on sidekick? Or you get fourth and fifteen from your 114 00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:41,800 Speaker 1: ten yard line as an option, So you can either 115 00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:44,760 Speaker 1: try the onside kick, which you never will, but you 116 00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:47,920 Speaker 1: have the fourth and fifteen option from your ten or 117 00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:52,000 Speaker 1: maybe fifteen if I'm being generous, I would take the 118 00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:53,640 Speaker 1: fourth and fifteen. And I think part of this is 119 00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:56,679 Speaker 1: colored by our experience in some sense. Like you said, 120 00:05:56,800 --> 00:05:59,080 Speaker 1: if we were Kansas City, if we were in Kansas 121 00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:02,559 Speaker 1: City doing Chief Radio, we'd love would love it because 122 00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:06,040 Speaker 1: fourth and fifteen, absolutely we can fix a lot of 123 00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:08,520 Speaker 1: things that went wrong. In that game with one play 124 00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:12,560 Speaker 1: and away we go. Is that right? Is that right 125 00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:14,960 Speaker 1: that you get to have the ball back? Look, fourth 126 00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:16,720 Speaker 1: and fifteen is not a high percentage, but we all 127 00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:20,960 Speaker 1: know hold on now, yeah exactly. When you have a 128 00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:25,279 Speaker 1: guy like Mahomes, you feel like, hey, this is you know, 129 00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:29,920 Speaker 1: there's a coin flip. Now, look, if the rate would 130 00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:33,120 Speaker 1: not be fifty percent conversions, it's correct, but in the 131 00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:37,560 Speaker 1: but in the context of a particular game where your 132 00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:40,400 Speaker 1: defense is tired and somebody's dealing because they just scored 133 00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:42,960 Speaker 1: on you. In this context, they just scored on you. 134 00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:45,240 Speaker 1: Now you get it fourth and fifteen. And the Texans 135 00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:46,880 Speaker 1: have had some games in the last couple of years 136 00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:48,640 Speaker 1: where you know you're back to where your way into 137 00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:51,359 Speaker 1: a one score game. Right, looks prettier on the scoreboard. 138 00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:53,839 Speaker 1: But now instead of on side kicklow probability of fourth 139 00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:55,359 Speaker 1: and fifteen. Not that you're gonna make it, but you 140 00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:58,440 Speaker 1: might have. Yeah, things might have played out differently. I 141 00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:00,360 Speaker 1: think it. I think we will get it because the 142 00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:02,560 Speaker 1: on side kick they'll talk about injuries and this is 143 00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:05,640 Speaker 1: too brutal play, blah blah blah. They'll get some version 144 00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:07,960 Speaker 1: of fourth and fifteen. Fourth and twenty. How about that? 145 00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:10,720 Speaker 1: That was I was going to suggest that fourth and 146 00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:14,200 Speaker 1: twenty is why fourth and twenty is tough to get. 147 00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:16,280 Speaker 1: Then again, they're all tough to get. And then again 148 00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:19,000 Speaker 1: we got fourth and thirteen, and we got fourth to 149 00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:23,240 Speaker 1: twenty back to back. Fourth Davis mails your fourth or 150 00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:27,560 Speaker 1: twenty expert, Thomas, I have words for you. But okay, anyways, 151 00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:30,640 Speaker 1: um on that note, I happen to see this today. 152 00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:34,000 Speaker 1: I didn't think about this. Wait wait, wait, coming up 153 00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:36,800 Speaker 1: in conversation before you get to that. Okay, what about 154 00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:40,280 Speaker 1: the goal for three yesterday? On goal I didn't see 155 00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:41,840 Speaker 1: the goal for three from the ten year. No, I 156 00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:43,560 Speaker 1: don't like that. I don't like go for three. You 157 00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:45,120 Speaker 1: don't want I don't want to go for three. No, 158 00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:47,600 Speaker 1: no, no no, no, no, the fourth and the fourth to fifteen. 159 00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:52,320 Speaker 1: I can live with down three, the go for three, Yeah, 160 00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:55,960 Speaker 1: I don't. I don't like that. I crazy as it sounds, 161 00:07:56,880 --> 00:08:01,400 Speaker 1: I would actually feel better, especially if I've got a 162 00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:03,600 Speaker 1: quarterback I mean, like Mahomes or somebody of that ilk 163 00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:06,080 Speaker 1: Up Burrow or something like that. I'd much rather have 164 00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:08,680 Speaker 1: more space and move the ball out to the ten 165 00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:10,840 Speaker 1: as I would at the two yard line. Another two 166 00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:13,120 Speaker 1: yard line sounds easy. You're like, oh, it's easy, and 167 00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:16,120 Speaker 1: then it's not. If you're gonna throw it, there's no room. 168 00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:18,040 Speaker 1: There's no room. I mean, it's got to be exact, 169 00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:20,440 Speaker 1: it's got to be right now. It's it's tough. I'm 170 00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:22,440 Speaker 1: much rather if I've got a quarterback of that ILK, 171 00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:24,360 Speaker 1: I'd much rather do that thing back to the ten. 172 00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:26,800 Speaker 1: I got room to move now. I can still hit 173 00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:28,480 Speaker 1: my I can still hit my steam routes. If they're 174 00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:30,760 Speaker 1: gonna play cover three back there, I feel like I 175 00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:34,079 Speaker 1: can still. I feel better about going for it from 176 00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:35,440 Speaker 1: the ten yard line that I do for the two 177 00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:38,280 Speaker 1: yard line. I think, go for three. If you put 178 00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:41,080 Speaker 1: it at the fifteen or the twenty, why not. Yeah, 179 00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:43,080 Speaker 1: that's let's go there for ten yard line. That's what 180 00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:45,160 Speaker 1: I'm saying. The ten yard line, I think it's easy, 181 00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:48,199 Speaker 1: not easy, but it's easier than it is from the 182 00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:51,760 Speaker 1: two or the five. Let's say you're down eighteen. Let's 183 00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:54,320 Speaker 1: just go there. You're down eighteen, you're down two, scores, 184 00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:58,960 Speaker 1: you score a touchdown. Yeah, let's go for three. We 185 00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:03,400 Speaker 1: make it right, four to fifteen, we make that, we score, 186 00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:06,000 Speaker 1: we go for three again. You know so you get 187 00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:08,160 Speaker 1: nine and nine. If you think about it, at eighteen 188 00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:13,160 Speaker 1: point eighteen point deficit in the NFL is ridiculous. I mean, 189 00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:16,800 Speaker 1: you've got ten points is ridiculous. You've gotten hammered. And 190 00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:20,640 Speaker 1: yet two drives, two drives, two drives, two scores. You 191 00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:23,480 Speaker 1: want you're right in it. You want to keep people watching. Now, 192 00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:26,880 Speaker 1: that will that will absolutely keep people eighteen. But we 193 00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:30,240 Speaker 1: got a shot, no, no doubt it will keep people watching. 194 00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:33,520 Speaker 1: I am absolutely from that standpoint. Yeah, I just think 195 00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:35,280 Speaker 1: from the ten yard line is too easy. What about 196 00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:38,200 Speaker 1: fifteen fifteen? I think I could go, okay, fifteen fifteen. 197 00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:39,560 Speaker 1: I mean, I know it was five yards deeper, but 198 00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:42,280 Speaker 1: I I just it's a little bit more difficult. I 199 00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:44,160 Speaker 1: think for the fifteen, I just think the ten yard line, 200 00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:47,160 Speaker 1: you've got ten yards of space in the end zone, 201 00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:48,760 Speaker 1: you got your at to ten yard line, you got 202 00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:50,680 Speaker 1: twenty yards of space to work. I think that's a 203 00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:53,719 Speaker 1: that's honestly easy. But I think you can do some 204 00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:56,840 Speaker 1: things and do something quickly. You can hit even spot 205 00:09:56,920 --> 00:09:58,240 Speaker 1: rout right the goal line. I mean, there are a 206 00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:00,520 Speaker 1: lot of different things that you could hit that From 207 00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:04,280 Speaker 1: the ten, fifteen to little that's a little dicey. I 208 00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:07,160 Speaker 1: feel like Andre would go full get off my long 209 00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:11,360 Speaker 1: guy on both on both the fourth and fifteen and 210 00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:13,520 Speaker 1: go for three. But we'll see. Maybe I'm wrong more 211 00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:15,960 Speaker 1: about the fourth and fifteen than I am. Go for three, 212 00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:20,120 Speaker 1: but where you're more go for three as opposed to 213 00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:22,160 Speaker 1: the fourth and fifty year probably right, he's probably, but 214 00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:24,480 Speaker 1: I don't know. I wudn't ask him. Next time. We'll 215 00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:26,320 Speaker 1: get him one. I talked myself into the fourth and 216 00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:31,199 Speaker 1: long as long as it's maybe a little to go 217 00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:32,840 Speaker 1: for three, I could go. As if you went to 218 00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:34,480 Speaker 1: the fifteen yard line, then I could be Okay. I 219 00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:36,120 Speaker 1: don't like it at the twenty five and I don't 220 00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:38,760 Speaker 1: like it at the ten. While we're on rules, okay, 221 00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:41,720 Speaker 1: I know it's college football, but this popped up today 222 00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:45,320 Speaker 1: that the powers that being college football are looking looking 223 00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:50,240 Speaker 1: to shorten the game. Yes, two rules are thinking about. 224 00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:52,440 Speaker 1: One is allowing the clock to run after first downs, 225 00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:56,079 Speaker 1: which is what the NFL does. Leave here's another one 226 00:10:56,320 --> 00:11:00,200 Speaker 1: allowing the clock to run after incomplete passes. That's ridiculous, 227 00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:04,720 Speaker 1: holy smokes now, but all game long it said no, 228 00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:06,760 Speaker 1: you can't do that. The game will be over in 229 00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:09,040 Speaker 1: two hours. You take the I mean, I would imagine 230 00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:10,840 Speaker 1: in the final two minutes you could still have your 231 00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:13,400 Speaker 1: spike and do that. Yeah, well maybe they maybe they 232 00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:17,480 Speaker 1: change it. I think no, just have it run, have 233 00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:20,360 Speaker 1: it run after first downs except the final two minutes. 234 00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:22,440 Speaker 1: That's all you gotta do. It's the only change you 235 00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:23,840 Speaker 1: need to make. Yeah, I think so. In fact, in 236 00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:27,080 Speaker 1: the NFL, i'd be willing to say. And I believe 237 00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:29,640 Speaker 1: Bill O'Brien said he'd be in favor of this too 238 00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:31,320 Speaker 1: when he was here and I asked him about this. 239 00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:34,920 Speaker 1: How about clock stops after first downs? You know they 240 00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:38,240 Speaker 1: just so they set the sticks. In the NFL, that 241 00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:40,480 Speaker 1: would make the game a lot more exciting. This clock 242 00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:45,959 Speaker 1: is merciless in the NFL. It sucks. Yes, So to me, 243 00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:48,760 Speaker 1: that would be a good change for the NFL to adopt. 244 00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:52,640 Speaker 1: I've always thought that. But in college, yes, have it 245 00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:55,680 Speaker 1: run after first downs, but keep it as a stop 246 00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:57,920 Speaker 1: clock after first downs on the final two minutes, because 247 00:11:57,920 --> 00:11:59,400 Speaker 1: if you have the lead, it doesn't matter because you 248 00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:01,640 Speaker 1: take your time and run the play clock, you will 249 00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:03,480 Speaker 1: still be able to run the clock down. So here's 250 00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:08,440 Speaker 1: here's what they've proposed. Four things. Apparently, one prohibiting consecutive 251 00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:10,600 Speaker 1: time out, such as icing kickers. I agree with that. 252 00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:13,360 Speaker 1: I think the NFL has Gosh number two no longer 253 00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:15,760 Speaker 1: extending a first or third quarter for an untimed down 254 00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:18,160 Speaker 1: if the quarter ends on the defense appenalty. That's it's 255 00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:21,840 Speaker 1: rare that it happens, but you know, okay. Third proposal, 256 00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:24,600 Speaker 1: the clock will continue to run after an offense gains 257 00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:27,400 Speaker 1: a first down except inside of two minutes and a half. 258 00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:30,520 Speaker 1: Oh good, yeah, there it is. In a more controversial 259 00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:33,200 Speaker 1: force proposal, the clock will continue to run after an 260 00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:36,400 Speaker 1: incomplete pass once the ball spotted for play. That's crazy, 261 00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:40,920 Speaker 1: So incomplete pass comes spotted and start to crazy crazy, 262 00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:44,160 Speaker 1: I think that's ridiculous. No, that's way too much. That's 263 00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:47,480 Speaker 1: over correction right there. That is really overreacting to the 264 00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:51,160 Speaker 1: slowness at that point. It doesn't know that doesn't mention 265 00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:54,960 Speaker 1: inside of two minutes. So does that mean you throw 266 00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:57,760 Speaker 1: an incomplete pass down the stretch? Take the play clock? 267 00:12:57,880 --> 00:12:59,120 Speaker 1: And then also you've got to be back at the 268 00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:01,080 Speaker 1: line of scrimmage to be ready to call a play 269 00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:02,920 Speaker 1: because the clock's gonna start right as soon as the 270 00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:05,599 Speaker 1: ball is spotted. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, No, no, no, 271 00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:09,400 Speaker 1: the clock Yeah wait, you said it runs after incomplete passage. 272 00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:11,280 Speaker 1: I'm sorry. The clock will continue to run after a 273 00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:14,120 Speaker 1: complete pass once the ball is spotted for play, So 274 00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:18,640 Speaker 1: drop back the throw incomplete pass. Refs come in, spot 275 00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:22,200 Speaker 1: the ball, start the clock. Okay, but you gotta be 276 00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:23,800 Speaker 1: ready to go. I mean, if you're a two minute mode, 277 00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:25,400 Speaker 1: I mean I get two minute mode. You're a two 278 00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:28,079 Speaker 1: minute mode, you gotta you gotta get all the way 279 00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:30,360 Speaker 1: back over after the incomplete pass. So you throw one 280 00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:33,720 Speaker 1: deep it's incomplete. You gotta run every so okay, So 281 00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:36,600 Speaker 1: here's where it gets really confusing. You go deep, right, 282 00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:39,280 Speaker 1: guys like, all right, I need I need, I need 283 00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:43,319 Speaker 1: a blow. He comes off the field because you've now 284 00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:45,920 Speaker 1: changed and substitute, and now the defense has time and 285 00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:49,480 Speaker 1: the clock is running. Yeah. No, there's no way that 286 00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:52,360 Speaker 1: can can't do it. Can't do it that way. You 287 00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:54,800 Speaker 1: could do that. That's a little too harsh. That's a 288 00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:57,480 Speaker 1: little too much of an overcorrection. I think if you 289 00:13:57,559 --> 00:14:02,760 Speaker 1: went to the NFL rule of first downs, this, this 290 00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:04,440 Speaker 1: third one of clock will continue to run after an 291 00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:07,600 Speaker 1: offense gains of first down, except inside of two minutes 292 00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:09,640 Speaker 1: and a half. I like that In fact, I wish 293 00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:11,960 Speaker 1: the NFL would do that. I think you could get 294 00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:18,199 Speaker 1: really sexy two minute finishes to half and to a 295 00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:20,560 Speaker 1: game if you were able to stop the clock after 296 00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:24,480 Speaker 1: a first time, it would it would be fantastic. I've 297 00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:27,600 Speaker 1: been begging for this. You would have, Oh, that would 298 00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:30,000 Speaker 1: be incredible. The Cowboys would have loved it to cap 299 00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:32,400 Speaker 1: the twenty twenty one season the way their playoff game ended. 300 00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:34,280 Speaker 1: But a lot of games end that way where you 301 00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:36,760 Speaker 1: just run out of time. You just you have thirty 302 00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:38,440 Speaker 1: seconds at the end of the game. You gotta get 303 00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:40,960 Speaker 1: into field goal range, and it's I mean, it seems 304 00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:43,280 Speaker 1: like there's enough time, but you gotta be flawless to 305 00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:45,880 Speaker 1: pull that off, and there's no margin for error. This 306 00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:48,000 Speaker 1: would give you some margin for error. I mean, I 307 00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:51,440 Speaker 1: I like, you know how I am about clock management. 308 00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:55,200 Speaker 1: I love the coaches and I love the organizations that 309 00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:59,200 Speaker 1: can for thirty minutes or sixty minutes, depending on where 310 00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:00,560 Speaker 1: you are in a part of the game, whether it's 311 00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:03,040 Speaker 1: half or at the end of the game. Like I 312 00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:05,480 Speaker 1: go back to the to Andy read the Chiefs against 313 00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:07,520 Speaker 1: the Bills and the visual playoff round in twenty one 314 00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:10,960 Speaker 1: thirteen seconds. But they got all three timeouts. They didn't 315 00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:13,160 Speaker 1: mess around and take a bunch of timeouts for you know, 316 00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:15,520 Speaker 1: willy nilly because they couldn't get lined up or they couldn't. 317 00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:17,440 Speaker 1: It's sort of a reward at the end, like, Okay, 318 00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:19,600 Speaker 1: we're down, but we still have our three timeouts because 319 00:15:19,640 --> 00:15:22,520 Speaker 1: we've managed a game really well to this point. So 320 00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:26,640 Speaker 1: catch time out, catch time out, catch timeout, kick field, 321 00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:28,400 Speaker 1: go to tie it and go it over time. I mean, 322 00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:30,960 Speaker 1: that was amazing. It was incredible that they were able 323 00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:33,640 Speaker 1: to do that. Should a team be rewarded in some sense? 324 00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:35,440 Speaker 1: This is kind of the the other side that I 325 00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:38,040 Speaker 1: have to kind of get my brain around. Are you 326 00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:41,440 Speaker 1: rewarding teams in some sense by giving them the opportunity 327 00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:44,720 Speaker 1: to stop the clock after a first down? Yeah, it 328 00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:47,520 Speaker 1: is a reward, but it doesn't mean that you've been 329 00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:50,080 Speaker 1: so incompetent the whole game and now we're giving you 330 00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:51,800 Speaker 1: a tremendous break. It's a bit of a break, but 331 00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:53,680 Speaker 1: that's the whole idea. We still got to execute, you 332 00:15:53,720 --> 00:15:55,440 Speaker 1: gotta do all that kind of stuff. So so the 333 00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:58,840 Speaker 1: timeouts is still valuable because the clock does start it 334 00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:02,080 Speaker 1: just about this one. How many times do you see 335 00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:05,680 Speaker 1: guys that are not brought down. In the NFL, they 336 00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:08,200 Speaker 1: do get out of bounds, but there's some contact, right, 337 00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:11,720 Speaker 1: That's a real That is a judgment call in a 338 00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:14,520 Speaker 1: league that's supposed to not have too many when it 339 00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:16,720 Speaker 1: comes to that, like, we do no longer allow the 340 00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:18,800 Speaker 1: judgment call of oh, he would have caught it, but 341 00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:20,880 Speaker 1: he was pushed out of bounds. We don't allow that, 342 00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:22,920 Speaker 1: but we allow all the time. Well, the guy got 343 00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:24,600 Speaker 1: a hand on him and he ran out of bounds, 344 00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:27,600 Speaker 1: and we're gonna going backwards as opposed to going forward. 345 00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:31,160 Speaker 1: That is, they love that clock to move. They enjoy 346 00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:34,440 Speaker 1: that clock O. The thing about it, it's so it's 347 00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:39,320 Speaker 1: so tough because you see, mentally as a coach, no 348 00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:41,360 Speaker 1: matter where you're on the field, we're up in a box. 349 00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:44,560 Speaker 1: You see your player head out of bounds and you're thinking, okay, 350 00:16:44,640 --> 00:16:47,320 Speaker 1: clock stop, take a breath for a second, think about 351 00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:48,760 Speaker 1: what my place would be, and then all of a 352 00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:50,920 Speaker 1: sudden you see the side judge winding his arm. You're like, 353 00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:54,000 Speaker 1: get up to the line, go, I mean, it's it's 354 00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:57,080 Speaker 1: it's chaos. Um. That's a that's a tough one. That's 355 00:16:57,080 --> 00:16:59,720 Speaker 1: a that's a hard one. Um, I mean if you 356 00:16:59,800 --> 00:17:02,280 Speaker 1: get a bounds to me, if you found a way 357 00:17:02,320 --> 00:17:04,320 Speaker 1: to get out of bounds, you got out a bounce, 358 00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:07,080 Speaker 1: stop the clock. I do think it's a judgment call sometimes, 359 00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:10,280 Speaker 1: but make it obvious that, Yeah, he was definitely gonna 360 00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:13,600 Speaker 1: get tackled right in bounds, right if he gets out 361 00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:15,679 Speaker 1: of bounds, he gets out of bounds usually, but they 362 00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:18,879 Speaker 1: don't allow that. That one's that's kind of bizarre. But 363 00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:21,600 Speaker 1: I was as I was reading about these rules, they said, 364 00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:25,120 Speaker 1: if you incorporated the one about the first downs, the 365 00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:28,320 Speaker 1: clock running with the first downs like in the NFL, yeah, 366 00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:32,440 Speaker 1: that an offense would lose five to seven plays per 367 00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:35,120 Speaker 1: game in college. But they already have so many more 368 00:17:35,119 --> 00:17:38,200 Speaker 1: plays in college. If you added in that fourth rule 369 00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:43,359 Speaker 1: about the clock starting once it's spotted afternooncomplete pass, you 370 00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:46,160 Speaker 1: would lose I think they said, another fifteen plays. Yeah, 371 00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:50,200 Speaker 1: that's a lot. You're talking about twenty what my goodness, 372 00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:52,000 Speaker 1: And I know college it's a lot more plays in 373 00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:55,480 Speaker 1: the NFL because of the clock. Yeah, but you have 374 00:17:55,560 --> 00:17:59,040 Speaker 1: to not overcorrect and just make it happen for them. 375 00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:01,719 Speaker 1: Where the games a little bit shorter because those college games, Johnny, 376 00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:04,400 Speaker 1: if i'm it's kind of like the NBA. To me sometimes, 377 00:18:04,600 --> 00:18:06,800 Speaker 1: if I'm watching a good college team and they're down 378 00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:08,480 Speaker 1: two or three scores on the second half, I'm not 379 00:18:08,520 --> 00:18:11,600 Speaker 1: panicking whatsoever. If there is a whole fourth quarter to play, 380 00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:13,120 Speaker 1: I'm thinking this thing is going to take an hour. 381 00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:16,080 Speaker 1: You know, you have a lot of time to come back. Okay, Well, 382 00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:20,400 Speaker 1: since you said the three letters, I'm going there. NBA. Yeah, 383 00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:25,600 Speaker 1: two things. One Matt mcclong dunk contest. Did he save it? 384 00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:30,679 Speaker 1: You know, my kid watches this stuff only on social media, 385 00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:33,440 Speaker 1: but he will not tune in to the broadcast. He 386 00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:37,000 Speaker 1: didn't even know where it was. My kid watches Rockets games, 387 00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:40,160 Speaker 1: not even on a T and T sports network. He'll 388 00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:41,920 Speaker 1: be upstairs, like, Dad, did you see that play that 389 00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:44,080 Speaker 1: you know Jail and Greeman. I'm like, you don't even 390 00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:45,359 Speaker 1: have the game on. He's like, yeah, but it's on 391 00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:47,560 Speaker 1: social media. Like ten minutes later, I got the highlight. 392 00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:50,560 Speaker 1: You know, he's doing his homework, but it's on. That's 393 00:18:50,560 --> 00:18:53,600 Speaker 1: how he consumes this stuff in a way. Yes, but 394 00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:58,000 Speaker 1: Super seventies Sports tweeted out one from what was it It 395 00:18:57,840 --> 00:18:59,920 Speaker 1: It was sometime in the eighties. These are the guys 396 00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:03,960 Speaker 1: participating the dunk contest and it was doctor Jay, Michael Jordan, Dominique, 397 00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:08,200 Speaker 1: Wilson Wilkins rather Dominique. I mean, it was so good 398 00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:11,600 Speaker 1: just to see that photo and who used to participate, 399 00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:15,840 Speaker 1: But like you can't go back. I get it utley 400 00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:18,239 Speaker 1: in many ways. Yes, I mean it was. People are 401 00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:20,720 Speaker 1: still gonna be curious about it. It's not completely dead. 402 00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:22,600 Speaker 1: I did the same thing. I waited for it on 403 00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:25,120 Speaker 1: social media. That's what I did. I waited. I don't. 404 00:19:25,119 --> 00:19:27,399 Speaker 1: I waited for on social media because it was one 405 00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:30,240 Speaker 1: of those events where it didn't matter to me the result, 406 00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:34,880 Speaker 1: but if it became transcendent for whatever reason, I could 407 00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:36,600 Speaker 1: get it on social media. That's exactly what happened. I 408 00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:38,639 Speaker 1: went to social media, and then the next day I 409 00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:40,960 Speaker 1: went to YouTube and they just had dunk dunk, Dunk, 410 00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:42,800 Speaker 1: dunk dunk. It was all cut. You watch. I watch 411 00:19:42,840 --> 00:19:44,480 Speaker 1: the whole thing attended right, because you feel like you 412 00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:47,000 Speaker 1: don't need to see it live on a Saturday night. Especially. 413 00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:49,480 Speaker 1: Here's the other one. Now we're talking about All Star Game. 414 00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:53,240 Speaker 1: What do you do? That thing was a joke. No, 415 00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:56,280 Speaker 1: the thing's a joke. People tease the NFL, and I 416 00:19:56,320 --> 00:19:57,960 Speaker 1: get it because now the NFL has done away with 417 00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:00,359 Speaker 1: the game and play flag football, which was actually a 418 00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:02,560 Speaker 1: lot more interesting than the game because it was competitive 419 00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:05,440 Speaker 1: at these But it's not really NFL football. This is 420 00:20:05,480 --> 00:20:09,280 Speaker 1: not NBA basketball. We all know it, right, It is ridiculous. 421 00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:13,520 Speaker 1: It's just patty cake. It's let the guys do some 422 00:20:13,560 --> 00:20:16,040 Speaker 1: great athletic things. I don't know if you could have 423 00:20:16,119 --> 00:20:18,840 Speaker 1: a real game anymore, I don't know. But the event 424 00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:22,840 Speaker 1: is such a spectacle. It's the mid season super Bowl 425 00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:25,800 Speaker 1: to the league. Yet it kind of snuck up on me. 426 00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:28,920 Speaker 1: It's so interesting now, how everything's so fragmented. I heard 427 00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:33,040 Speaker 1: Landry and Lopez talking earlier today and Landry was saying 428 00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:35,359 Speaker 1: he didn't even know the Daytona five hundred was going on, 429 00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:39,080 Speaker 1: all right, So that's incredible to me. That shows me 430 00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:42,120 Speaker 1: that NASCAR is not marketing properly. You're a sports fan, 431 00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:44,760 Speaker 1: you should get promoted, tweets sent your way and promoted 432 00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:47,919 Speaker 1: social media sent your way. It's like the way I 433 00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:51,080 Speaker 1: feel about the Houston Symphony not letting me know that 434 00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:55,560 Speaker 1: let Zeppelin Knight occurred, right, I'm on all these friends 435 00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:59,400 Speaker 1: fan groups for Zeppelin and everything, and then Kenny Perkins 436 00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:02,479 Speaker 1: in our our graphic motion graphics department said, oh, did 437 00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:04,760 Speaker 1: you see led Zeppelin night at the Symphony. I'm thinking 438 00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:07,760 Speaker 1: I would have freaking gone to that the customer for that, 439 00:21:08,040 --> 00:21:11,000 Speaker 1: but I got no targeted stuff thrown my way. Digital 440 00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:15,439 Speaker 1: marketing is important, and the NASCAR people screwed it up 441 00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:18,040 Speaker 1: over the weekend. Apparently the NBA did too. With a 442 00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:20,200 Speaker 1: lot of folks. You gotta get to them. You gotta 443 00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:22,800 Speaker 1: promote some tweets and some social media posts to the otherwise, 444 00:21:22,840 --> 00:21:24,880 Speaker 1: people aren't even gonna know what's going on. As soon 445 00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:27,439 Speaker 1: as the super Bowl was over. As soon as it 446 00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:32,240 Speaker 1: was over, the NBA should have done something reminding everybody 447 00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:34,159 Speaker 1: the All Star Game is on Sunday. They should have 448 00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:38,520 Speaker 1: done They should have gone ballistic, just full out NFL's 449 00:21:38,600 --> 00:21:41,760 Speaker 1: over the real seasons whatever. I knew they should have 450 00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:43,439 Speaker 1: gone all out. I knew it was coming at some 451 00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:45,639 Speaker 1: point because like the Rockets last game, and I just 452 00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:47,480 Speaker 1: kind of forgot about it. Yeah, and then all of 453 00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:50,000 Speaker 1: a sudden Friday, Oh yeah, it's All Star weekend, which 454 00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:52,119 Speaker 1: is weird. All Star Weekend used to be this man 455 00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:55,439 Speaker 1: thing if the build up was big, and I get it, 456 00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:56,719 Speaker 1: it's not gonna be the same. A lot of things 457 00:21:56,760 --> 00:21:58,040 Speaker 1: aren't gonna be the same. But you know what is 458 00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:01,399 Speaker 1: even better than ever the Super Bowl, the NFL playoffs. 459 00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:03,560 Speaker 1: This league does things right now. That Pro Bowl is 460 00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:07,479 Speaker 1: still a tough nut to crack. I think all All 461 00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:11,120 Speaker 1: Star games have luster luster. Baseball, Yeah, probably the best 462 00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:14,320 Speaker 1: because you can still actually play the sports the way 463 00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:16,760 Speaker 1: it's supposed to be played in you know, for the 464 00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:18,480 Speaker 1: most part, you can't do it with the pitchers, but 465 00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:19,840 Speaker 1: for the most part you can play it the way 466 00:22:19,840 --> 00:22:21,680 Speaker 1: you used to play it in the eighties and seventies 467 00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:23,920 Speaker 1: when it was awesome. It's not quite as good, but 468 00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:27,520 Speaker 1: it's still something. Uh that sport lends itself to a 469 00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:29,439 Speaker 1: better All Star Game, Yeah, no doubt. All right, we 470 00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:31,760 Speaker 1: have fixed college football, we have fixed the NBA All 471 00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:34,960 Speaker 1: Star Game. We've done all that. Did the AFC South 472 00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:38,520 Speaker 1: fix itself with the number of changes. We'll talk about 473 00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:42,880 Speaker 1: that next right here in Texans All Access. Going back 474 00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:45,840 Speaker 1: to Texas All Access, John Harris with Mark Vannimir Mark, 475 00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:49,360 Speaker 1: I'm an ark on Friday about the changes in the AFC, 476 00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:55,720 Speaker 1: in the AFC, especially AFC South. Okay, so I went 477 00:22:55,800 --> 00:23:01,960 Speaker 1: with five key positions general manager, head coach, coordinator, quarterback. 478 00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:05,320 Speaker 1: That's five. They're four teams in divisions, so there's twenty 479 00:23:05,400 --> 00:23:13,480 Speaker 1: opportunities in the AFC South. To those twenty positions, eleven 480 00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:18,600 Speaker 1: have changed. Eleven have changed in the division of the 481 00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:24,119 Speaker 1: majority the majority, fifty five percent of those positions have changed. 482 00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:26,720 Speaker 1: And if you want to go even further with that, 483 00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:33,760 Speaker 1: the Jags had zero changes. Oh so, in all honesty, 484 00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:39,640 Speaker 1: eleven of fifteen were changed in Houston, Tennessee, in Indianapolis. 485 00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:41,280 Speaker 1: All right, so the Texans are the only team to 486 00:23:41,359 --> 00:23:45,639 Speaker 1: have both coaches, well, no coach and GM. GM's here coaches. 487 00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:53,720 Speaker 1: New quarterback is new quarterbacks, new presumed quarterbacks, new quarterback. 488 00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:57,600 Speaker 1: So they're gonna have new coordinators Tennessee probably new quarterback 489 00:23:57,760 --> 00:24:01,720 Speaker 1: and new GM. Right, so all three quarterbacks are gonna 490 00:24:01,720 --> 00:24:06,680 Speaker 1: be changed. Two head coaches were named. That's amazing though, 491 00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:10,280 Speaker 1: the three quarterbacks all. The thing about it this way, 492 00:24:10,320 --> 00:24:13,840 Speaker 1: all the coordinators are different minus one. Can you name 493 00:24:13,880 --> 00:24:18,520 Speaker 1: the only AFC South coordinator outside of Jacksonville that's staying 494 00:24:19,160 --> 00:24:24,240 Speaker 1: outside of Jacksonville? He used to be in Houston. Waituh, 495 00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:27,480 Speaker 1: staying in a spot, staying in his spot year to year. 496 00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:33,200 Speaker 1: He used to Right, he's the only coordinator that's gonna 497 00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:36,600 Speaker 1: be the same outside of Jacksonville, because in Jacksonville you've 498 00:24:36,600 --> 00:24:41,880 Speaker 1: got uh, you got um Mike Caldwell's defensive coordinator, and 499 00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:45,320 Speaker 1: you have Press Taylor, who is that Taylor's brother is 500 00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:48,560 Speaker 1: the office coordinator, so he'll stay. Doug Peterson stays, Trent 501 00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:51,920 Speaker 1: Baukie stays, and Trevor Lawrence, unfortunately, will stay. So everybody 502 00:24:51,960 --> 00:24:56,359 Speaker 1: in Jacksonville probably these years, all the different changes. Jacksonville 503 00:24:56,400 --> 00:25:00,600 Speaker 1: seeming league seemingly got these five right for the time being, 504 00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:06,240 Speaker 1: but they're eleven to fifteen, over seventy percent changed. In 505 00:25:06,280 --> 00:25:08,520 Speaker 1: the other three teams, Well, we are still very much 506 00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:12,400 Speaker 1: in the team building phase here, right. One week from now, 507 00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:15,520 Speaker 1: we'll be at the combine and we'll be talking about 508 00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:18,800 Speaker 1: more changes. But the free agency period will not have 509 00:25:18,840 --> 00:25:21,160 Speaker 1: begun yet, and that is going to be the first 510 00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:23,920 Speaker 1: start of Okay, what are these teams really gonna look like? 511 00:25:24,040 --> 00:25:27,040 Speaker 1: You know, if you signed somebody signs Derek Carr, for instance, 512 00:25:27,080 --> 00:25:29,639 Speaker 1: well he's gonna play at least of the early going 513 00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:32,520 Speaker 1: until a rookie replaces him, or maybe he plays forever. 514 00:25:32,560 --> 00:25:34,640 Speaker 1: I don't know. So I think Car's got two good 515 00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:37,240 Speaker 1: years left at least two good years left in him. 516 00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:39,600 Speaker 1: In the right situation, I think he's got two good 517 00:25:39,680 --> 00:25:41,960 Speaker 1: years left him. The question is, does one of these 518 00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:44,160 Speaker 1: teams go for him, one of these three teams looking 519 00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:49,560 Speaker 1: for a quarterback. I say no, I don't think Tennessee 520 00:25:49,560 --> 00:25:51,879 Speaker 1: can afford it. I don't know how Tennessee If I 521 00:25:51,920 --> 00:25:54,440 Speaker 1: don't know how Tennessee affords it, and it doesn't seem 522 00:25:54,520 --> 00:25:56,240 Speaker 1: like a cults thing to do based on what they've 523 00:25:56,240 --> 00:25:58,760 Speaker 1: done in the last three years, they're gonna go young. 524 00:25:59,119 --> 00:26:02,560 Speaker 1: I could see Rabel. Now this this always gets kind 525 00:26:02,560 --> 00:26:06,119 Speaker 1: of tricky because I could see Vrabel saying, Okay, this 526 00:26:06,280 --> 00:26:08,440 Speaker 1: job security the NFL, there's nothing guaranteed. But I could 527 00:26:08,440 --> 00:26:10,800 Speaker 1: see Vrabel kind of look at a situation going, all right, 528 00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:13,880 Speaker 1: we just hired rand I have a good relationship with him. 529 00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:16,760 Speaker 1: What's kind of my what's kind of my my status here? 530 00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:20,040 Speaker 1: I would imagine Tennessee's gonna want him around for a while. 531 00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:22,560 Speaker 1: So at that point, yeah, let's if we need to 532 00:26:22,560 --> 00:26:25,480 Speaker 1: take a step back, but we find our young quarterback, great, 533 00:26:25,560 --> 00:26:28,119 Speaker 1: let's go do it. Let's get a younger quarterback. Problem is, 534 00:26:28,160 --> 00:26:31,120 Speaker 1: they're drafting an eleven and I don't know who wants 535 00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:35,760 Speaker 1: to trade down to go to number eleven when you're 536 00:26:35,920 --> 00:26:38,120 Speaker 1: you're not guaranteed getting any quarterback there. They could all 537 00:26:38,119 --> 00:26:40,760 Speaker 1: be gone by nine because Carolina is sitting at nine, 538 00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:42,640 Speaker 1: and you obviously know the teams that are above them. 539 00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:45,840 Speaker 1: You could have all four quarterbacks, be it Young, Stroud, Levis, 540 00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:47,840 Speaker 1: and Richardson, they could all be gone by nine. They 541 00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:49,919 Speaker 1: could be leveled the bag at eleven. They could, but 542 00:26:50,040 --> 00:26:52,320 Speaker 1: I got a feeling they won't. They won't be gone 543 00:26:52,320 --> 00:26:55,800 Speaker 1: by eleven. Not everybody. Richardson might still be there. Or 544 00:26:55,840 --> 00:26:59,119 Speaker 1: does somebody reach for Richardson instead of having Levis? Or 545 00:26:59,160 --> 00:27:01,840 Speaker 1: does Bryce Young really fall? Another picture came out where 546 00:27:01,840 --> 00:27:04,680 Speaker 1: people were questioning his height. Oh my god, I'm so tired. 547 00:27:05,720 --> 00:27:10,360 Speaker 1: People are as a fruit or his heights his measurement day, 548 00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:13,200 Speaker 1: and we will see that will be that Twitter will 549 00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:15,480 Speaker 1: it will be one of those Twitter blow up moments. Man, 550 00:27:15,600 --> 00:27:17,480 Speaker 1: it will be. It'd be one of those moments. They've 551 00:27:17,480 --> 00:27:22,240 Speaker 1: they've moved the they've moved the wigands. I believe they've 552 00:27:22,280 --> 00:27:23,960 Speaker 1: moved it and changed it a little bit. Used to 553 00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:25,760 Speaker 1: be where I know I could go in there. I 554 00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:28,400 Speaker 1: used to I used to watch it, guys, would walk 555 00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:31,159 Speaker 1: out and you'd see them. You know. They did it 556 00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:33,520 Speaker 1: in that big hall that was part of the stadiums 557 00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:35,919 Speaker 1: and no media was there. We could get in there 558 00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:38,000 Speaker 1: with our team credentials exactly. The first time I ever 559 00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:41,280 Speaker 1: saw that, I thought, this is freaky. Yeah it is, 560 00:27:41,520 --> 00:27:44,399 Speaker 1: because the exactly it's like the Tom Brady pictures that 561 00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:46,760 Speaker 1: everyone knows about. Guys are up there and their boxer 562 00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:49,840 Speaker 1: is basically and they're weighing them and measuring them, and 563 00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:52,080 Speaker 1: they're reading off the numbers and people are writing it down. 564 00:27:52,280 --> 00:27:54,440 Speaker 1: At the time people are writing it down, I thought, 565 00:27:54,920 --> 00:27:57,280 Speaker 1: this is weird. This is where can we just get 566 00:27:57,320 --> 00:28:01,639 Speaker 1: the information? Later, I remember public there to authorize that 567 00:28:01,760 --> 00:28:04,040 Speaker 1: this was the accurate read it was. It was one 568 00:28:04,080 --> 00:28:05,480 Speaker 1: of the It was one of the mornings we were 569 00:28:05,520 --> 00:28:08,320 Speaker 1: there and the quarterbacks were weighing in and there were 570 00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:13,520 Speaker 1: interviews going on and check Twitter, Kyler Murray has measured 571 00:28:13,600 --> 00:28:17,320 Speaker 1: in at five ten and some change, and it just 572 00:28:18,320 --> 00:28:20,399 Speaker 1: it broke the internet. I mean, it was amazing just 573 00:28:20,560 --> 00:28:25,040 Speaker 1: to see that Kyler Murray is five ten and a fourth. 574 00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:27,320 Speaker 1: I was like, that's it just as height what they 575 00:28:27,359 --> 00:28:30,159 Speaker 1: think what may think it was gonna be? I thought, Lord, now, 576 00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:33,240 Speaker 1: I thought it was definitely, he's definitely five nine. Don't 577 00:28:33,280 --> 00:28:34,679 Speaker 1: give me that. I don't. I don't know what happened 578 00:28:35,040 --> 00:28:37,600 Speaker 1: five ten at a quarter, stretching it because they had 579 00:28:37,640 --> 00:28:40,400 Speaker 1: at Oliver at six one. I'll never forget. I went 580 00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:43,320 Speaker 1: to Protedt University of Houston and Edge just went straight 581 00:28:43,520 --> 00:28:45,760 Speaker 1: from They were all in line and they were going 582 00:28:45,880 --> 00:28:47,880 Speaker 1: up and they were getting their height measured. Then they 583 00:28:47,920 --> 00:28:50,240 Speaker 1: were going over getting weighed, and they were going step 584 00:28:50,320 --> 00:28:52,880 Speaker 1: a step B and Edge just went. I met Oliver 585 00:28:53,040 --> 00:28:56,440 Speaker 1: and just just walked right by both. Because the combined 586 00:28:56,480 --> 00:29:00,040 Speaker 1: he weighed in he measured at six one two I 587 00:29:00,360 --> 00:29:02,960 Speaker 1: think two eighty five something like that. I nearly ran 588 00:29:03,040 --> 00:29:04,520 Speaker 1: into him. He was going on the corner. I was 589 00:29:04,520 --> 00:29:07,120 Speaker 1: coming around the other corner. We almost ran into each other. 590 00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:09,320 Speaker 1: And I'm telling you we were eyed eye. I'm a 591 00:29:09,640 --> 00:29:13,040 Speaker 1: shade under six foot and he just walked right by. 592 00:29:13,120 --> 00:29:18,000 Speaker 1: It's like, yeah, smart move man. Probably you know measuring 593 00:29:18,040 --> 00:29:20,680 Speaker 1: a six foot wasn't gonna help you out. But that 594 00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:22,479 Speaker 1: being said, you get over it because it it's been 595 00:29:22,520 --> 00:29:24,400 Speaker 1: dominant with the bills the last couple of years. So 596 00:29:25,080 --> 00:29:33,160 Speaker 1: um when Bryce measures, it's both hiding away outrage numbers everybody. 597 00:29:33,240 --> 00:29:37,000 Speaker 1: So there's so just there's your question. Does Bryce Young 598 00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:44,000 Speaker 1: end up in the AFC South, Yes, I think so too. 599 00:29:44,240 --> 00:29:46,080 Speaker 1: Somehow he ends up in the APS. He ends up 600 00:29:46,080 --> 00:29:48,200 Speaker 1: in the FC because let's say nobody moves and the 601 00:29:48,280 --> 00:29:50,400 Speaker 1: Texans don't take him, they take one of the other quarterbacks, 602 00:29:50,440 --> 00:29:52,440 Speaker 1: and they take will A Anderson or Jailing Carter whatever. 603 00:29:52,560 --> 00:29:54,600 Speaker 1: Then the Cults are gonna take one. The Colts have 604 00:29:54,800 --> 00:29:58,760 Speaker 1: to take one, and probably I want to say it's 605 00:29:58,800 --> 00:30:01,920 Speaker 1: probably him, but I'll just I'll gamble if it's AFC 606 00:30:02,080 --> 00:30:04,440 Speaker 1: South more likely to happen AFC South of the field, 607 00:30:04,760 --> 00:30:07,720 Speaker 1: I'll say FC South, since two teams definitely need one. 608 00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:11,760 Speaker 1: Let's say he drops, he just free falls to eleven. 609 00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:13,720 Speaker 1: I don't see it, which is not quite a free fall, 610 00:30:13,760 --> 00:30:19,560 Speaker 1: considering Mahomes free fell to ten. Wow, you I know, 611 00:30:19,680 --> 00:30:21,800 Speaker 1: we don't see it happened. I wasn't I wasn't focused 612 00:30:21,840 --> 00:30:23,520 Speaker 1: on him this morning. I was watching now, I was 613 00:30:23,520 --> 00:30:26,920 Speaker 1: studying Alabama LSU, so I studying prospects from LSU. You 614 00:30:27,080 --> 00:30:29,320 Speaker 1: just can't help but watch him and go did he 615 00:30:29,440 --> 00:30:34,000 Speaker 1: just do that like he had he had against LSU? 616 00:30:34,120 --> 00:30:35,760 Speaker 1: He's backed up, he walks up to the line, he 617 00:30:35,880 --> 00:30:39,040 Speaker 1: changes the protection. He gets everybody going the right direction, 618 00:30:39,160 --> 00:30:41,080 Speaker 1: so that saves him. So then he backs the throw. 619 00:30:41,400 --> 00:30:42,960 Speaker 1: He drops the throw, and he's got an over out 620 00:30:42,960 --> 00:30:46,560 Speaker 1: and he's got a guy clearing out, and his eyes 621 00:30:46,600 --> 00:30:48,360 Speaker 1: you can see his helmet look at the guy in 622 00:30:48,440 --> 00:30:50,560 Speaker 1: the over out like he's open, but I want to 623 00:30:50,560 --> 00:30:52,920 Speaker 1: throw into an open space. So he looks back over 624 00:30:53,080 --> 00:30:55,440 Speaker 1: to where he's thinking about throwing, and he waits for 625 00:30:55,520 --> 00:30:57,280 Speaker 1: the safety to turn his back to go with the 626 00:30:57,400 --> 00:31:00,200 Speaker 1: corner or to go with the outside route, and he 627 00:31:00,320 --> 00:31:02,760 Speaker 1: throws it right where the safety was like ten yards 628 00:31:02,800 --> 00:31:05,400 Speaker 1: in front of him. That's all he needs. And I'm like, 629 00:31:05,600 --> 00:31:07,240 Speaker 1: but you could see his head move back and forth, 630 00:31:07,280 --> 00:31:08,600 Speaker 1: so you know what he's thinking. He's like, I want 631 00:31:08,640 --> 00:31:10,200 Speaker 1: to throw here, but I gotta see what space lights 632 00:31:10,440 --> 00:31:11,840 Speaker 1: look back, so you see us hey kind of go 633 00:31:11,880 --> 00:31:14,360 Speaker 1: back and forth, and You're like, he's actually looking to 634 00:31:14,560 --> 00:31:16,680 Speaker 1: where he can throw it to get his guy open. 635 00:31:17,560 --> 00:31:20,960 Speaker 1: So I just want the subject. One thing that concerns 636 00:31:21,040 --> 00:31:24,880 Speaker 1: me about guys who are not tall that quarterback is 637 00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:28,360 Speaker 1: the pocket gets so tight in the NFL, gets very crowded. 638 00:31:28,400 --> 00:31:30,360 Speaker 1: You're in a phone booth all of a sudden, a 639 00:31:30,440 --> 00:31:33,840 Speaker 1: lot of people moving around, and your health is in 640 00:31:33,880 --> 00:31:36,480 Speaker 1: the line here, and can you make that kind of 641 00:31:36,560 --> 00:31:38,880 Speaker 1: read while all that is going on. I'm not saying 642 00:31:38,920 --> 00:31:41,760 Speaker 1: he doesn't have the mental aptitude to do it, but 643 00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:43,840 Speaker 1: can he physically do it? I don't know. I'm just 644 00:31:43,920 --> 00:31:47,600 Speaker 1: asking because when I see Murray in the pocket, I 645 00:31:47,760 --> 00:31:50,560 Speaker 1: see that, I'm thinking, I wonder what he's seen. I 646 00:31:50,680 --> 00:31:53,120 Speaker 1: wonder if he's able to see the different needs to 647 00:31:53,200 --> 00:31:56,040 Speaker 1: see us instead of like, all right, you're right, there's 648 00:31:56,080 --> 00:31:59,640 Speaker 1: no doubt. Here's the one thing. Kyler's always been a 649 00:31:59,720 --> 00:32:04,080 Speaker 1: guy that don't like it. Get out. Bryce's gonna find 650 00:32:04,160 --> 00:32:06,000 Speaker 1: a way to manage that pocket. I've seen a number 651 00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:08,320 Speaker 1: of times when the pocket is just sort of enveloped Bryce, 652 00:32:08,440 --> 00:32:10,400 Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden he moves to a 653 00:32:10,480 --> 00:32:11,959 Speaker 1: spot and he just gets rid of the ball. He's 654 00:32:11,960 --> 00:32:15,080 Speaker 1: got such a quick release. So he's got that you 655 00:32:15,160 --> 00:32:17,920 Speaker 1: know who is absolutely awful when he got enveloped in 656 00:32:17,960 --> 00:32:21,000 Speaker 1: a pocket six foot eight broadcasts Wilder. Yeah, it's true. 657 00:32:21,200 --> 00:32:24,920 Speaker 1: So it doesn't guarantee anything. No, it doesn't guarantee anything. 658 00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:28,280 Speaker 1: But Bryce is really good about managing that space and 659 00:32:28,480 --> 00:32:31,400 Speaker 1: getting to a spot where he can make that throw. 660 00:32:31,640 --> 00:32:33,560 Speaker 1: And I like guys moving out and that stepping out 661 00:32:33,600 --> 00:32:35,240 Speaker 1: a little bit. I just think the game is like 662 00:32:35,360 --> 00:32:37,560 Speaker 1: that now. Sometimes guys who hang in there and try 663 00:32:37,640 --> 00:32:40,560 Speaker 1: I'm gonna hang in there and make the throw. But often, hey, 664 00:32:40,600 --> 00:32:44,000 Speaker 1: they hit their head on a helmet, They get rocked somehow. 665 00:32:44,480 --> 00:32:47,120 Speaker 1: You know, Look, it happens all the time, right, I mean, 666 00:32:47,160 --> 00:32:49,200 Speaker 1: he'll have his Challenges's no doubt. There are gonna be 667 00:32:49,280 --> 00:32:51,560 Speaker 1: some things he just won't be able to see. But 668 00:32:52,160 --> 00:32:55,240 Speaker 1: he manages that space really well such that he'll get 669 00:32:55,320 --> 00:32:57,680 Speaker 1: himself to a point where he can see some. But 670 00:32:57,720 --> 00:32:59,880 Speaker 1: didn't Josh Allen get hit trying to make a throw 671 00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:03,960 Speaker 1: the pocket? Yeah, Mike Hilton, Mike, Mike Hilton. He was 672 00:33:04,040 --> 00:33:06,680 Speaker 1: opened up and right, Mike Hilton. The slot God just 673 00:33:06,760 --> 00:33:09,000 Speaker 1: got him. It wasn't on a run though. It wasn't 674 00:33:09,040 --> 00:33:12,800 Speaker 1: one of those Bill got him all right, Mark appreciate it. Thanks, Johnny. 675 00:33:12,920 --> 00:33:16,160 Speaker 1: Charlie Potter knows. Bryce Young. We had him on Friday. 676 00:33:16,200 --> 00:33:19,000 Speaker 1: We're gonna have him tonight talking about Will Anderson Junior 677 00:33:19,040 --> 00:33:23,320 Speaker 1: with Deep City. That's next on Texans All Access. We 678 00:33:23,520 --> 00:33:25,120 Speaker 1: want to fall a segment of this edition of Texans 679 00:33:25,160 --> 00:33:27,600 Speaker 1: All Access sim your host, John Harris Football on The 680 00:33:27,680 --> 00:33:30,520 Speaker 1: Sideline Reporter. Last week we had Charlie Potter on from 681 00:33:30,560 --> 00:33:34,880 Speaker 1: twenty four seven Alabam cover in Alabama Crimson Tide talk 682 00:33:34,920 --> 00:33:39,000 Speaker 1: about Bryce Young. This week he joins us to talk 683 00:33:39,080 --> 00:33:42,520 Speaker 1: about Will Anderson Junior. Dpcity did a great deep slant 684 00:33:42,560 --> 00:33:46,960 Speaker 1: with Charlie Potter about the edge rusher number two in 685 00:33:47,040 --> 00:33:50,200 Speaker 1: the Harris Deaths right, number two. He's been bumped for 686 00:33:50,360 --> 00:33:53,360 Speaker 1: number one spot. There's Charlie with deep What have you 687 00:33:53,400 --> 00:33:56,600 Speaker 1: thought about Will Anderson and the buzz surrounding him so far? Yeah, 688 00:33:56,640 --> 00:33:58,600 Speaker 1: I mean, first of all, thanks for having me. I 689 00:33:58,760 --> 00:34:01,440 Speaker 1: think with Will, the buzz around him, I feel like 690 00:34:01,480 --> 00:34:04,360 Speaker 1: it really generated his freshman season. He's a guy that 691 00:34:04,480 --> 00:34:07,080 Speaker 1: came in during the COVID year, so you know, we 692 00:34:07,320 --> 00:34:11,160 Speaker 1: as reporters aren't really allowed anywhere near the facility. They're 693 00:34:11,200 --> 00:34:12,919 Speaker 1: trying to be as safe as possible, and the first 694 00:34:12,920 --> 00:34:15,000 Speaker 1: people are going to kick out as media as you 695 00:34:15,080 --> 00:34:20,520 Speaker 1: probably well know. But yeah, even then, it was hard 696 00:34:20,600 --> 00:34:23,720 Speaker 1: to ignore and avoid the buzz that he was generating 697 00:34:23,719 --> 00:34:27,480 Speaker 1: as a true freshman in the springtime and Alabama's preseason camp. 698 00:34:27,880 --> 00:34:29,759 Speaker 1: I was getting texts and calls just being like this 699 00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:33,560 Speaker 1: guy is insane, Like they can't block him. He's going 700 00:34:33,600 --> 00:34:35,239 Speaker 1: to be very hard to keep off the field. And 701 00:34:35,360 --> 00:34:38,200 Speaker 1: sure enough, Alabama puts out its depth shark much as 702 00:34:38,200 --> 00:34:40,600 Speaker 1: a granted Nick Saban on that first game leak of 703 00:34:40,640 --> 00:34:43,000 Speaker 1: the season, and there's Will Anderson, top line true freshman 704 00:34:43,040 --> 00:34:45,800 Speaker 1: as an outside linebacker, and he held him to that 705 00:34:45,880 --> 00:34:49,480 Speaker 1: spot at his entire career and just was remarkable. You know, 706 00:34:49,560 --> 00:34:53,400 Speaker 1: he had an unbelievable season in twenty twenty one whenever 707 00:34:53,520 --> 00:34:55,400 Speaker 1: he was really comfortable and was the guy on that 708 00:34:55,480 --> 00:34:57,840 Speaker 1: defensive side of the ball. Heck, as a sophomore, he 709 00:34:57,880 --> 00:35:00,239 Speaker 1: was named a team captain, and I think that says 710 00:35:00,239 --> 00:35:01,879 Speaker 1: a lot about him as a person. As a player. 711 00:35:02,200 --> 00:35:05,400 Speaker 1: This past year, you saw teams really hone in on 712 00:35:05,560 --> 00:35:07,160 Speaker 1: him and maybe try to take him out of the 713 00:35:07,480 --> 00:35:10,400 Speaker 1: game plan or from him. You're reaking having it to 714 00:35:10,480 --> 00:35:13,360 Speaker 1: him in the backfield. But he still had an excellent season. 715 00:35:13,640 --> 00:35:16,920 Speaker 1: He had double digit sacks I think nearly twenty tackles 716 00:35:17,040 --> 00:35:19,839 Speaker 1: for loss. He was near the lead or Levy sec 717 00:35:19,960 --> 00:35:23,319 Speaker 1: in both categories. And you know, he exits Alabama as 718 00:35:23,360 --> 00:35:26,440 Speaker 1: a guy that is second. You know, you look at 719 00:35:26,440 --> 00:35:29,279 Speaker 1: Alabamas at Linderson's career and think, how can this guy 720 00:35:29,360 --> 00:35:31,719 Speaker 1: be second in terms of sacks and tackles for Laws, 721 00:35:31,760 --> 00:35:33,640 Speaker 1: But he's behind the guy named Derek Thomas, who just 722 00:35:34,040 --> 00:35:37,200 Speaker 1: obrated the stat sheet when he was at Alabama. So 723 00:35:37,960 --> 00:35:41,120 Speaker 1: an amazing career. He won every defensive award you can 724 00:35:41,160 --> 00:35:44,399 Speaker 1: win this past season. He deserved it. And as good 725 00:35:44,440 --> 00:35:47,040 Speaker 1: of a player as Will Anderson is, he's even He's 726 00:35:47,320 --> 00:35:50,640 Speaker 1: an even better person. And I think just with you know, 727 00:35:50,760 --> 00:35:54,200 Speaker 1: how his teammates perceive him, the impact that he has, 728 00:35:54,320 --> 00:35:57,160 Speaker 1: I think that says a lot. And yeah, wherever he goes, 729 00:35:57,239 --> 00:35:59,520 Speaker 1: he's somebody's gonna get a special player and he's gonna 730 00:35:59,520 --> 00:36:02,880 Speaker 1: have a law and prosperous career in the NFL. I 731 00:36:02,960 --> 00:36:04,919 Speaker 1: think one of the most impressive parts of his game 732 00:36:05,080 --> 00:36:07,680 Speaker 1: is just his ability to get pressure on opposing quarterbacks. 733 00:36:08,120 --> 00:36:10,360 Speaker 1: And just in looking at his stats, especially his twenty 734 00:36:10,400 --> 00:36:13,520 Speaker 1: twenty one stat line eighty one total pressure, is fifty 735 00:36:13,560 --> 00:36:17,360 Speaker 1: five quarterback carries, eleven quarterback hits, and an outstanding fifteen 736 00:36:17,480 --> 00:36:20,000 Speaker 1: sacks on the season. What do you think makes him 737 00:36:20,080 --> 00:36:23,080 Speaker 1: so effective at getting to the quarterback. It's a good question. 738 00:36:23,440 --> 00:36:25,640 Speaker 1: I don't think it's just one thing. I think he 739 00:36:26,320 --> 00:36:29,040 Speaker 1: is a guy that knows how to use his technique 740 00:36:29,040 --> 00:36:30,640 Speaker 1: and has really worked on that over the course of 741 00:36:30,719 --> 00:36:33,320 Speaker 1: his career. He knows how to use his hands. He 742 00:36:33,640 --> 00:36:38,040 Speaker 1: is effective just in being a strong pass rusher and 743 00:36:38,800 --> 00:36:41,080 Speaker 1: kind of bullying his way into the backfield. He can 744 00:36:41,120 --> 00:36:43,640 Speaker 1: do everything, and I think that's something that's progressed over 745 00:36:43,719 --> 00:36:46,040 Speaker 1: the course of his time at Alabama. You know, he's 746 00:36:46,080 --> 00:36:49,120 Speaker 1: worked with Suthinseria a lot in doing that, and then 747 00:36:49,160 --> 00:36:51,960 Speaker 1: Coleman Hudson this last season, and yeah, I mean, just 748 00:36:52,040 --> 00:36:54,400 Speaker 1: to finish your career with your thirty four and a 749 00:36:54,440 --> 00:36:58,480 Speaker 1: half sacks is special and it is It's funny that 750 00:36:58,880 --> 00:37:03,160 Speaker 1: the twenty twenty one season he was just a havoc 751 00:37:03,440 --> 00:37:05,800 Speaker 1: in the backfield, but you also had the emergence of 752 00:37:05,880 --> 00:37:08,360 Speaker 1: Dallas Turner, who was a true freshman then in another 753 00:37:08,400 --> 00:37:11,040 Speaker 1: form of five star recruited Alabama kind of emerged in 754 00:37:11,080 --> 00:37:13,960 Speaker 1: the second half of the season, and because I think 755 00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:16,360 Speaker 1: teams were starting to focus more on Will and being like, 756 00:37:16,440 --> 00:37:19,040 Speaker 1: we can't let this guy disrupt our game. And while 757 00:37:19,239 --> 00:37:21,880 Speaker 1: Dallas kind of emerged and had some good stats, it 758 00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:25,960 Speaker 1: still didn't stop Will from from having remarkable performances in 759 00:37:26,040 --> 00:37:28,160 Speaker 1: this past year. Like I said, the beginning, even more so, 760 00:37:28,680 --> 00:37:32,880 Speaker 1: teams tried to stop thirty one from just disrupting everything 761 00:37:32,920 --> 00:37:35,080 Speaker 1: they were doing the backfield. It didn't work all the time, 762 00:37:35,280 --> 00:37:36,879 Speaker 1: but his numbers took a little bit of a dip. 763 00:37:37,320 --> 00:37:39,719 Speaker 1: But I think that also says a lot about the 764 00:37:39,840 --> 00:37:43,480 Speaker 1: respect he has from opposing offensive coordinators because he is 765 00:37:43,520 --> 00:37:46,239 Speaker 1: a guy that whenever he gets his hands on a 766 00:37:46,320 --> 00:37:49,279 Speaker 1: tackle or you know, makes his pass rush move, he's 767 00:37:49,280 --> 00:37:50,440 Speaker 1: going to be in the backfield and be in the 768 00:37:50,480 --> 00:37:52,680 Speaker 1: backfield in a hurry because he has a quick first 769 00:37:52,719 --> 00:37:56,279 Speaker 1: step and you know, he's he's a knowledgeable player, so 770 00:37:56,400 --> 00:37:58,560 Speaker 1: he knows what to do. He knows what the play is, 771 00:37:59,200 --> 00:38:01,439 Speaker 1: where the play is, I mean, where the ball's coming, 772 00:38:01,800 --> 00:38:05,120 Speaker 1: and so yeah, you know, I feel like I'm just 773 00:38:05,239 --> 00:38:08,879 Speaker 1: reading the almanac or like the what makes a good 774 00:38:08,880 --> 00:38:11,520 Speaker 1: pass rusher? But I really think if you true to 775 00:38:11,600 --> 00:38:14,000 Speaker 1: look that up, Will's picture might be under there because 776 00:38:14,040 --> 00:38:17,360 Speaker 1: he brings everything to the table, and you know, I 777 00:38:17,440 --> 00:38:19,120 Speaker 1: think he's a guy that he's not someone you're going 778 00:38:19,160 --> 00:38:20,880 Speaker 1: to ask to really drop and coverage a lot. I 779 00:38:20,960 --> 00:38:23,280 Speaker 1: think when Alabama did that that was kind of a mistake. 780 00:38:23,680 --> 00:38:25,600 Speaker 1: But you know, the times that they send him the 781 00:38:25,719 --> 00:38:27,839 Speaker 1: times he's only on a scrimmage and you know, helping 782 00:38:27,920 --> 00:38:30,319 Speaker 1: stop the run or getting after the quarterback, he's going 783 00:38:30,360 --> 00:38:32,360 Speaker 1: to be effective, and if not, he's going to freeze 784 00:38:32,560 --> 00:38:34,680 Speaker 1: opportunities up for his teammates. And he did a lot 785 00:38:34,719 --> 00:38:37,160 Speaker 1: of that during his time in Alabama. I was reading 786 00:38:37,280 --> 00:38:40,000 Speaker 1: somewhere that the one thing holding will enters him back 787 00:38:40,120 --> 00:38:43,000 Speaker 1: from being considered generational talent might be his size. And 788 00:38:43,080 --> 00:38:45,719 Speaker 1: I feel like we had this discussion with about Bryce 789 00:38:45,800 --> 00:38:48,600 Speaker 1: Young as well. But six four, two hundred forty three pounds. 790 00:38:48,640 --> 00:38:50,680 Speaker 1: How fair is that assessment that that's the one thing 791 00:38:50,760 --> 00:38:53,080 Speaker 1: holding him back? I mean, is there a concern that 792 00:38:53,160 --> 00:38:55,960 Speaker 1: he might not put on more weight, or that being 793 00:38:56,040 --> 00:38:58,080 Speaker 1: under size is somehow holding him back from the stat 794 00:38:58,120 --> 00:39:01,000 Speaker 1: sheet because the stat sheet certainly doesn't reflected holding him 795 00:39:01,000 --> 00:39:04,359 Speaker 1: back at all. Yeah, it doesn't, But I think he could. 796 00:39:04,680 --> 00:39:07,080 Speaker 1: He could certainly add some weight. He is leaner. When 797 00:39:07,120 --> 00:39:09,160 Speaker 1: you just look at him, you know, he's an imposing figure. 798 00:39:09,320 --> 00:39:12,960 Speaker 1: He's a guy that definitely earned the terminator nickname. But 799 00:39:13,280 --> 00:39:15,320 Speaker 1: I think he could certainly add some some bolt to 800 00:39:15,400 --> 00:39:17,480 Speaker 1: his frame. I don't know if that's something that teams 801 00:39:17,840 --> 00:39:19,440 Speaker 1: want him to do. I'm not I'm not saying that. 802 00:39:19,680 --> 00:39:21,920 Speaker 1: I think it's certainly something he could do, though, But 803 00:39:22,080 --> 00:39:23,920 Speaker 1: you know, you look at the way alb and his 804 00:39:24,040 --> 00:39:26,640 Speaker 1: defense is evolved. I think maybe they're looking to get 805 00:39:26,680 --> 00:39:29,520 Speaker 1: back to more of the old school approach. Is they 806 00:39:29,600 --> 00:39:32,520 Speaker 1: wanted those leaner guys in the defensive line to be 807 00:39:32,560 --> 00:39:34,799 Speaker 1: able to chase down guys, to be able to get 808 00:39:34,920 --> 00:39:36,759 Speaker 1: back in the backfield in a hurry, and to be 809 00:39:36,800 --> 00:39:39,239 Speaker 1: able to chase down people in space. And you've seen 810 00:39:39,239 --> 00:39:41,480 Speaker 1: an evolution on the defensive side of the ball across 811 00:39:41,600 --> 00:39:44,520 Speaker 1: college football because offenses are so fast and spread out. 812 00:39:44,920 --> 00:39:47,280 Speaker 1: But I think at the next level, he can certainly 813 00:39:47,560 --> 00:39:50,600 Speaker 1: add some weight, and I don't think he's a guy 814 00:39:50,719 --> 00:39:52,759 Speaker 1: that would have any problem with that. And I don't 815 00:39:52,800 --> 00:39:54,360 Speaker 1: think it would be that much of an issue for 816 00:39:54,440 --> 00:39:58,000 Speaker 1: him because you know, he came in as a leaner, 817 00:39:58,200 --> 00:40:02,080 Speaker 1: even more lean person, and I think it's a situation 818 00:40:02,200 --> 00:40:05,759 Speaker 1: where if he's asked to do that again or even 819 00:40:06,040 --> 00:40:08,960 Speaker 1: you know, bulk up to maybe two fifty two fifty five, 820 00:40:09,120 --> 00:40:11,239 Speaker 1: I don't know if two sixties maybe where they want him, 821 00:40:11,320 --> 00:40:13,919 Speaker 1: but I think he could do that, and I think 822 00:40:14,000 --> 00:40:16,240 Speaker 1: that at that plainweight he could still be very effective 823 00:40:16,360 --> 00:40:20,520 Speaker 1: because he's going to be even even stronger, even more powerful. 824 00:40:20,560 --> 00:40:23,320 Speaker 1: I have some more punch behind his pass rushing abilities. 825 00:40:23,400 --> 00:40:26,320 Speaker 1: So I haven't really heard anybody say anything about his 826 00:40:26,400 --> 00:40:29,880 Speaker 1: size being an issue, but I could certainly see if 827 00:40:30,239 --> 00:40:32,520 Speaker 1: it need be, he could add it and that wouldn't 828 00:40:32,520 --> 00:40:34,680 Speaker 1: be any kind of problem for him. All Right, any 829 00:40:34,760 --> 00:40:38,600 Speaker 1: particular performance or moment in your time covering Anderson that 830 00:40:38,680 --> 00:40:41,440 Speaker 1: really stands out to you, there's a lot, you know. 831 00:40:41,600 --> 00:40:44,040 Speaker 1: I mean, heck, you think about the pick six he 832 00:40:44,160 --> 00:40:47,399 Speaker 1: had early in the season this past year. Honestly, though, 833 00:40:47,440 --> 00:40:49,480 Speaker 1: when I think of Will and this is a kind 834 00:40:49,520 --> 00:40:53,480 Speaker 1: of a reporter biased thing. It's kind of just the snippets, 835 00:40:53,520 --> 00:40:56,320 Speaker 1: the soundbites he's provided behind the podium, because there was 836 00:40:56,320 --> 00:40:59,799 Speaker 1: a time last year where you know, Alabama almost lost 837 00:40:59,840 --> 00:41:02,160 Speaker 1: it Florida. They went on the road and lost at 838 00:41:02,200 --> 00:41:04,680 Speaker 1: Texas A and M. And he's a he's a guy. 839 00:41:05,080 --> 00:41:07,200 Speaker 1: If he ends up in Houston, you'll you'll know this 840 00:41:07,360 --> 00:41:09,080 Speaker 1: right away. He always has a smile on his face. 841 00:41:09,480 --> 00:41:11,279 Speaker 1: You know, whether he wants to speak to reporters or not, 842 00:41:11,480 --> 00:41:13,680 Speaker 1: he's going to do it. He's just a happy, go 843 00:41:13,840 --> 00:41:16,440 Speaker 1: lucky guy. Like around the facility when he's not on 844 00:41:16,520 --> 00:41:19,440 Speaker 1: the field. That obviously changes when he gets on the field. 845 00:41:19,520 --> 00:41:23,480 Speaker 1: But when that happened, he just the smile kind of 846 00:41:23,560 --> 00:41:26,080 Speaker 1: vanished and he was all business and he provided some 847 00:41:26,200 --> 00:41:28,719 Speaker 1: of the best quotes just in terms of, you know, 848 00:41:29,040 --> 00:41:31,480 Speaker 1: being a leader and kind of getting back to the 849 00:41:31,480 --> 00:41:33,960 Speaker 1: Alabama standard and stuff. It's it wasn't that boy, and 850 00:41:34,000 --> 00:41:38,319 Speaker 1: I can promise you that, but yeah, you can tell 851 00:41:38,360 --> 00:41:41,279 Speaker 1: he was pissed off, and it was refreshing because you know, 852 00:41:41,360 --> 00:41:44,200 Speaker 1: guys at Alabama, especially the robots, when it comes to 853 00:41:44,280 --> 00:41:46,200 Speaker 1: talking to us and we'll just let it fly about 854 00:41:46,239 --> 00:41:48,920 Speaker 1: how he felt about how guys weren't doing their jobs 855 00:41:48,960 --> 00:41:50,640 Speaker 1: and how they had to get back to a certain way. 856 00:41:50,719 --> 00:41:53,120 Speaker 1: And that's you know, as someone that covers the team 857 00:41:53,160 --> 00:41:54,960 Speaker 1: on a regular basis, you like to see that and 858 00:41:55,000 --> 00:41:57,520 Speaker 1: see guys be open. So for me, when I think 859 00:41:57,600 --> 00:41:59,359 Speaker 1: will I just I think of that and I think 860 00:42:00,080 --> 00:42:02,319 Speaker 1: just what he said to us when he would come up, 861 00:42:02,600 --> 00:42:05,600 Speaker 1: Because I mean, like we've talked about, he makes plays 862 00:42:06,040 --> 00:42:10,239 Speaker 1: all the time, but I think it's that that charisma, 863 00:42:10,520 --> 00:42:15,200 Speaker 1: is that attitude that makes him special. It's what makes 864 00:42:15,320 --> 00:42:17,640 Speaker 1: players gravitate towards him. It's why he was voted to 865 00:42:17,719 --> 00:42:21,360 Speaker 1: two time team captain. So yeah, I think if he 866 00:42:21,480 --> 00:42:23,600 Speaker 1: ends up in Houston, Texas fans are gonna love him, 867 00:42:23,719 --> 00:42:25,400 Speaker 1: But I think reporters are gonna love him just as 868 00:42:25,480 --> 00:42:27,439 Speaker 1: much because he's a guy that he's going to speak 869 00:42:27,480 --> 00:42:30,479 Speaker 1: his mind and when things aren't going well, he's gonna 870 00:42:30,520 --> 00:42:33,880 Speaker 1: be pissed off about it. And I think that's always 871 00:42:33,920 --> 00:42:35,880 Speaker 1: just to hear a player be open about that. That's 872 00:42:35,880 --> 00:42:38,120 Speaker 1: always something that you respect as a reporter. Well, it 873 00:42:38,120 --> 00:42:40,560 Speaker 1: would be fun Will Anderson here in Houston, no doubt 874 00:42:40,640 --> 00:42:42,920 Speaker 1: about that. But thanks you Charlie the DP, and to 875 00:42:43,120 --> 00:42:45,239 Speaker 1: Mark and all of you for listening. Thank you so much. 876 00:42:45,280 --> 00:42:46,719 Speaker 1: We'll see you next time. It has always go to 877 00:42:46,760 --> 00:42:47,080 Speaker 1: Texas
