1
00:00:00,720 --> 00:00:02,679
Speaker 1: To be able to take it to that next level.

2
00:00:02,880 --> 00:00:09,760
Speaker 1: That's what I'm excited about. Bill's quick past doings and

3
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:13,080
Speaker 1: gard get the sacks back at the twenty five yard

4
00:00:13,119 --> 00:00:17,800
Speaker 1: line touchdown. You stand, rock and roll, Trey lot Smith,

5
00:00:18,120 --> 00:00:22,520
Speaker 1: coast to coast. There is no off season for your

6
00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:28,320
Speaker 1: Houston Texans. Game day is every day now. It's Texans,

7
00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:34,000
Speaker 1: All Exans, Hello Texans, and welcome to the program. We

8
00:00:34,080 --> 00:00:39,120
Speaker 1: are live in real time here following breaking news, perhaps

9
00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:42,560
Speaker 1: as it occurs this hour. Mark Vanderberry with you John Harris,

10
00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:45,280
Speaker 1: of course. And because it's Thursday night at six, you

11
00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:49,440
Speaker 1: can set your watch, your calendar, your Sun dial, any

12
00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:52,000
Speaker 1: which way you want to go with your time saving,

13
00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:54,960
Speaker 1: time giving device. It's John McClain on a Thursday night

14
00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:57,960
Speaker 1: from the Houston Chronicle. General. How you doing tonight? I'm

15
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:01,520
Speaker 1: doing great, guys. How are you? This day reminds me

16
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:06,680
Speaker 1: of that Tom Petty saw waiting is the hardest part. Well,

17
00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:09,199
Speaker 1: you know, I wrote that in an article earlier about

18
00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:11,399
Speaker 1: something else regarding the Texans, and then I joked that

19
00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:14,319
Speaker 1: my editor gets mad at me doing dated reference songs

20
00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:18,120
Speaker 1: like Patients by Guns n' Roses or Anticipation by Carly Simon.

21
00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:22,920
Speaker 1: Apparently there's a song called Waiting by Javia. I probably

22
00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:25,200
Speaker 1: got that name wrong. That's more current, but nobody knows that.

23
00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:28,880
Speaker 1: Who's in our age bracket anyway, general A tweet came

24
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:33,600
Speaker 1: out from Johnny who's this guy sports Talk Atlanta Jake

25
00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:37,399
Speaker 1: from sports Talk atl dot com. He's got a blue

26
00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:40,600
Speaker 1: check mark and he said it's Atlanta and he's taken

27
00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:44,240
Speaker 1: some heat right now because the Schefters and the Rappaports,

28
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:46,600
Speaker 1: at least as of thirty seconds ago when we signed on,

29
00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:51,760
Speaker 1: have not weighed in thoughts. There was one three days

30
00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:55,440
Speaker 1: ago that I saw in Carolina that had him traded

31
00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:58,560
Speaker 1: to the Panthers, said it was a done deal. And

32
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:02,080
Speaker 1: then I checked the Charlotte Irvin ESPN in the Athletic

33
00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:04,640
Speaker 1: and all the long time beat people over there that

34
00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:07,040
Speaker 1: I know and have known for years, none of them

35
00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:10,040
Speaker 1: had that, and of course it wasn't true. So there's

36
00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:12,720
Speaker 1: a lot of things being put out about this, and

37
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:16,760
Speaker 1: I believe it when I say it. Chris simm has

38
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:21,280
Speaker 1: just put out that he had heard that Atlanta was

39
00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:25,280
Speaker 1: not in on it, and Watson went to them. Watson

40
00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:28,120
Speaker 1: went to them, and I think and Chris lost all

41
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:31,360
Speaker 1: credibility with me when he said Kyle Shannon had made

42
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:33,960
Speaker 1: that trade last year to get mac Jones, and it

43
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:37,120
Speaker 1: was Trey Lance. And so the fact is nobody knows

44
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:40,200
Speaker 1: for sure. I'm in New Orleans for a wedding. People

45
00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:43,640
Speaker 1: here and talking about the possibility. They're all fired up

46
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:46,720
Speaker 1: about it. Talked to the keb about it. Talk to

47
00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:50,120
Speaker 1: people in the hotel. Everybody wants to get into Seawan

48
00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:53,400
Speaker 1: Watson and I hear people talking about this would be

49
00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:55,840
Speaker 1: the best place to go to win. Well, there's one

50
00:02:55,880 --> 00:03:00,280
Speaker 1: little problem with that theory. Sean Payton's gone. Nobody has

51
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:03,520
Speaker 1: a clue out. Dennis Allen, their defensive coordinator, is going

52
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:06,600
Speaker 1: to be in his second stint as head coach. Now,

53
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:08,799
Speaker 1: if they say, well de Sean, Sean will be back

54
00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:11,520
Speaker 1: in one year, which is not going to happen, because

55
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:13,560
Speaker 1: he's gonna come back and he's gonna go somewhere else,

56
00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:17,959
Speaker 1: probably Dallas. And somebody suggested, well, the reason they could

57
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:21,600
Speaker 1: give up a lot of draft choices that the Texans

58
00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:24,360
Speaker 1: want is they're going to get picks for Sean Payton,

59
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:28,520
Speaker 1: probably from the Cowboys and Atlanta's destitute. The only reason

60
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:31,680
Speaker 1: he'd want to go there is his home state, and

61
00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:34,920
Speaker 1: he's got Quincy Avery, his best friend and longtime QB

62
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:37,280
Speaker 1: coach there, and he spends a lot of time there.

63
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:39,760
Speaker 1: And they had no receivers, they had no running backs.

64
00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:45,200
Speaker 1: The best receivers suspended, second best receivers signed with Tampa Bay.

65
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:47,440
Speaker 1: So they have second year of tidy and Kyle Pitts

66
00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:51,720
Speaker 1: is tremendous and that's it and means you get to

67
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:55,400
Speaker 1: throw the ball a whole lot, Carolina. I'd love to

68
00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:59,280
Speaker 1: see it'd be the Panthers and them throwing in Brian

69
00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:02,480
Speaker 1: Burns and safety Jeremy Chen, which would take care of

70
00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:05,560
Speaker 1: their two biggest needs on defense. That would be the

71
00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:09,080
Speaker 1: ideal trade. I think so too, General, That's what I've

72
00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:11,680
Speaker 1: been saying. But let's not get a twist of Cole

73
00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:15,160
Speaker 1: Pits's wide receiver. I think that would be a really

74
00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:18,880
Speaker 1: interesting combination. That's said, I don't know this whole tight

75
00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:20,440
Speaker 1: end thing, Mark and I got into this about the

76
00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:23,360
Speaker 1: Miami game with Mike Cassicki. Mike Cassicki's a wide receiver.

77
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:26,040
Speaker 1: He's not a tight end either way. General, can you

78
00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:32,359
Speaker 1: compare this situation to anything that you have seen or

79
00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:36,159
Speaker 1: handled in the past. I mean, you've seen it all

80
00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:39,719
Speaker 1: in this town and throughout the NFL. Is there anything

81
00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:43,479
Speaker 1: that this compares closest to this kind of situation that

82
00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:45,480
Speaker 1: we've gotten too with the Sean, with this trade, and

83
00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:48,880
Speaker 1: we're all sort of waiting. Never It's been going on

84
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:51,599
Speaker 1: since March the last year, when the lawsuits started to

85
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:54,960
Speaker 1: bow up the sheer magnet to the twenty two sivil suits,

86
00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:59,200
Speaker 1: ten criminal complaints that didn't get set, didn't get settled

87
00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:02,320
Speaker 1: in court until the grand jury didn't indict him a

88
00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:05,720
Speaker 1: week ago. Now you still have the twenty two civil suits,

89
00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:08,480
Speaker 1: and the team's interested don't seem too concerned about that,

90
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:12,840
Speaker 1: or a possible suspension from Roger Goodell. And because his

91
00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:18,160
Speaker 1: base salaries thirty five and would count immediately, everybody's assuming

92
00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:21,919
Speaker 1: the contract would be redone to lower the base salary

93
00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:25,400
Speaker 1: as much as possible, because if he gets suspended, you

94
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:29,400
Speaker 1: lose your base salary per game. So if his base

95
00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:32,360
Speaker 1: salary were a million or two million, he wouldn't lose

96
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:35,599
Speaker 1: nearly as much as if it were thirty five millions.

97
00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:38,480
Speaker 1: So I look for something to be done on his contract.

98
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:41,800
Speaker 1: And then of course Falcon's got Matt Ryan and they

99
00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:46,840
Speaker 1: have not completed courting Adam Schefter. They have not completed

100
00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:51,240
Speaker 1: what everybody thought they'd done last week, restructuring to get

101
00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:53,720
Speaker 1: his cat figure down from forty eight and change to

102
00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:57,839
Speaker 1: thirty six in change. And he's going to count like

103
00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:01,159
Speaker 1: fifty five million and dead money unless it's official after

104
00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:03,840
Speaker 1: June the first. Well, they don't want to wait. They

105
00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:07,160
Speaker 1: want him over there wherever he goes his new team,

106
00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:11,240
Speaker 1: whether it's like Indianapolis and he has a no trade clause.

107
00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:14,040
Speaker 1: I can't imagine him agreed to go to Cleveland and

108
00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:16,799
Speaker 1: playing in the worst weather in the NFL at First

109
00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:20,760
Speaker 1: Energy Stadium, and I think injury would be ideal for him,

110
00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:24,719
Speaker 1: or Bakery Baker may feel. But I've never seen anything

111
00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:28,480
Speaker 1: with the legal issues, and I've never seen anything that

112
00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:33,360
Speaker 1: had so many moving parts, a domino situation with court

113
00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:35,839
Speaker 1: when it comes to quarterbacks, and I've never seen anything

114
00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:39,359
Speaker 1: like this current quarterback carousel we have going on in

115
00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:42,360
Speaker 1: the NFL. Oh yeah, and we'll get to all the

116
00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:46,080
Speaker 1: Texans reported transactions. They haven't announced anything yet. I think

117
00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:48,000
Speaker 1: they're waiting on the trade so they can just announce

118
00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:50,200
Speaker 1: everything all at once. And at some point Nicko Sereo

119
00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:52,240
Speaker 1: will speak to the media, we'll have him on this show.

120
00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:55,120
Speaker 1: But John, you mentioned the quarterback carousel, all right, Baker

121
00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:58,360
Speaker 1: Mayfield in the Cleveland Browns fascinating to me. He wants

122
00:06:58,360 --> 00:06:59,920
Speaker 1: a trade, they don't want to give it to him.

123
00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:04,000
Speaker 1: And it's funny because here they are dancing with Watson,

124
00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:08,360
Speaker 1: a guy who requested a trade, demanded a trade from

125
00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:11,400
Speaker 1: his franchise, and now they're like, Baker, you can't demand

126
00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:13,640
Speaker 1: a trade from us. And I know Mayfield is not

127
00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:16,400
Speaker 1: of the ilk of Watson, but he's not a terrible

128
00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:19,520
Speaker 1: quarterback by any stretch. Your thoughts on their situation? What's

129
00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:22,080
Speaker 1: going to happen to Baker Mayfield? And I think one

130
00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:25,080
Speaker 1: of the things that's hurt him statistically is where he plays.

131
00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:28,920
Speaker 1: There was when around the Texans game November fifteenth and

132
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:31,960
Speaker 1: two and twenty when we saw the stadium have to

133
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:36,480
Speaker 1: be evacuated because of wind and rain and lightning. Mayfield

134
00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:38,640
Speaker 1: had three home games in which he threw for a

135
00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:41,440
Speaker 1: hundred yards, not because of him, but because the wind

136
00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:44,640
Speaker 1: was so bad. And I'll bet you if he goes somewhere,

137
00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:47,680
Speaker 1: say like Indianapolis, you're gonna sing thrown for a whole

138
00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:50,600
Speaker 1: lot more yards. Any quarterback should want to go to

139
00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:54,640
Speaker 1: Indy where you got Jonathan Taylor, great offensive line and

140
00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:58,280
Speaker 1: a good defense. They should be lining up now. I

141
00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:01,320
Speaker 1: don't think he has a no trade clause. Matt Ryan does.

142
00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:04,200
Speaker 1: Of course, we'll see how that plagues out. But Ryan's

143
00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:06,600
Speaker 1: gonna be thirty seven day. He's coming off the season

144
00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:11,119
Speaker 1: twenty touchdowns, twelve interceptions at ninety rating. That's not good

145
00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:13,520
Speaker 1: and it wasn't him, it is because of the talent

146
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:19,240
Speaker 1: around him. John. If the decision is to go to Atlanta,

147
00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:22,880
Speaker 1: that feels like it's the biggest domino effect because now

148
00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:26,480
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan has to move. And if Matt Ryan moves,

149
00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:29,960
Speaker 1: I don't know, say Cleveland, well, obviously Baker Mayfield's on

150
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:34,040
Speaker 1: the move. How do you see this going between seattle't

151
00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:36,480
Speaker 1: needs a quarterback. I mean they say they have Drew Locke.

152
00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:40,040
Speaker 1: I'm not buying that Indianapolis could go with Sam Ellinger

153
00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:43,079
Speaker 1: with a team that's got seven other Pro bowlers. You

154
00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:47,400
Speaker 1: got Cleveland obviously, with Baker Mayfield moving on, maybe they're

155
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:49,360
Speaker 1: saying no, but I'm sure they're going to dip their

156
00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:52,400
Speaker 1: tone of water. And then if the decision is Atlanta,

157
00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:55,000
Speaker 1: then Matt Ryan needs a new home. It's a massive

158
00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:58,559
Speaker 1: domino effect. Like you said, if you were handicapping, how

159
00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:01,920
Speaker 1: would you say, let's just put the shown in Atlanta

160
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:04,480
Speaker 1: for the time being. How would you think that dominoes

161
00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:08,079
Speaker 1: will play out in those particular places. Falcons would trade

162
00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:12,040
Speaker 1: Ryan to Indy because he has a no trade clause.

163
00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:15,520
Speaker 1: He can control where he goes. Seattle wanted Watson, but

164
00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:17,520
Speaker 1: Watson told them they didn't want to move across the

165
00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:20,679
Speaker 1: country and move up into the Pacific Northwest. If you

166
00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:25,040
Speaker 1: notice the final three not just from the NFC South,

167
00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:27,760
Speaker 1: but close to they're all in the South. He's played

168
00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:30,440
Speaker 1: his whole career in the South. I never thought he

169
00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:33,240
Speaker 1: was going to Cleveland, never thought he'd go to Seattle.

170
00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:35,920
Speaker 1: He also seems kind of like a guy needs to

171
00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:40,280
Speaker 1: stay close to Atlanta, close to his family. And of

172
00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:42,920
Speaker 1: course he's still such a big deal at Clemson, so

173
00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:48,720
Speaker 1: there's no way. I just can't imagine Seattle going into

174
00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:51,960
Speaker 1: the season with Drew Lockett quarterback. If Watson had gone

175
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:54,360
Speaker 1: to Seattle, think about this, he'd have been throwing the

176
00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:58,800
Speaker 1: DK Metcalf, Tyler, Lockett, Tidy and north Fan. And then

177
00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:02,240
Speaker 1: if they resigned with Shot Penny, he averaged one hundred

178
00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:05,560
Speaker 1: and thirty five yards rushing over the last five games,

179
00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:09,080
Speaker 1: won sixty five over the last three. In the Texans

180
00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:12,280
Speaker 1: saw what he's capable of doing at energ Stadium, and

181
00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:15,880
Speaker 1: if they resigned him, that would have been a prolific offense,

182
00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:19,199
Speaker 1: better than anything any of these other teams could offer.

183
00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:23,280
Speaker 1: John couple of thoughts here, we'll get back to the

184
00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:26,680
Speaker 1: Watson situation. We're monitoring all the wires and the twitters

185
00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:28,920
Speaker 1: and everything else we can possibly monitor here to give

186
00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:32,160
Speaker 1: you any late breaking news as to if a decision

187
00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:34,439
Speaker 1: has been made. There was a report out of Atlanta

188
00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:38,079
Speaker 1: that it's Atlanta from somebody who works for a sports

189
00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:40,839
Speaker 1: talk What do I call that a website a facility?

190
00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:44,360
Speaker 1: I mean it's a digital entity in Atlanta, and he's

191
00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:46,199
Speaker 1: got a blue check mark and he said it's Atlanta.

192
00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:48,080
Speaker 1: But no one else is picking it up, no one's

193
00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:50,920
Speaker 1: running with it. Has not been verified confirmed from anybody else.

194
00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:53,160
Speaker 1: So we'll let you know as soon as we know.

195
00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:56,520
Speaker 1: But general, a couple of thoughts here. Kyle Allen at

196
00:10:56,559 --> 00:10:59,720
Speaker 1: text in to backup Davis Mills and maybe something on

197
00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:02,560
Speaker 1: some of the other signing something that stands out to

198
00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:07,920
Speaker 1: you today reportedly linebacker Jalen Reeves, Maybin, and maybe some

199
00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:10,280
Speaker 1: of the other guys that they inked and maybe kept,

200
00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:13,640
Speaker 1: like Malie Collins. First of all, most of these new

201
00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:16,200
Speaker 1: guys I've never heard of. It reminds me of last year,

202
00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:18,800
Speaker 1: and I didn't expect Sarrio to spend a lot of

203
00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:21,920
Speaker 1: money on named players there in phase two of their rebuild.

204
00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:23,920
Speaker 1: He knows they're not going to be very good. I

205
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:27,000
Speaker 1: think this time next year you'll see the Texans spending

206
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:29,400
Speaker 1: more money. I expect him to roll over a lot

207
00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:31,880
Speaker 1: of his calf money as he did last year. Now,

208
00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:35,040
Speaker 1: aj Kent, the right guard who was a regular starter

209
00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:38,960
Speaker 1: with the Jaguars for years until he got an mcl

210
00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:41,719
Speaker 1: injury last year. So he didn't get beat up and

211
00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:44,880
Speaker 1: went out in the fourth game. And George Warhot knows

212
00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:48,960
Speaker 1: him very well, coached him for three years, obviously wanted him,

213
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:53,160
Speaker 1: and I hope that works out better than James Campin's

214
00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:57,080
Speaker 1: recommendations last year when he wanted older lineman brought in.

215
00:11:57,559 --> 00:12:00,600
Speaker 1: I still think the offensive light is a huge need.

216
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:04,000
Speaker 1: But he is of the new guys, the one that's

217
00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:07,319
Speaker 1: the most legitimate, who started the longest as far as

218
00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:11,440
Speaker 1: the resigns Malite Collins. That means they got three starters

219
00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:14,679
Speaker 1: set in a defensive line. With Jonathan Bernard who had

220
00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:18,600
Speaker 1: a breakout season, it left in Collins playing next to him.

221
00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:22,280
Speaker 1: Roy Lopez going into a second season, and they need

222
00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:25,200
Speaker 1: a right end and maybe they get one in the

223
00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:28,400
Speaker 1: second round, or maybe they still look in free agency.

224
00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:32,520
Speaker 1: I keep waiting for Camu gruge a Hill, and they've

225
00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:37,000
Speaker 1: resigned Desmond King. I think when they cut Terence Mitchell,

226
00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:39,959
Speaker 1: we knew they were going to resign King. But I

227
00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:43,240
Speaker 1: don't know what the deal is with gruge Hill. You

228
00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:46,319
Speaker 1: know they didn't sit. They want Justin Reid back. I'm

229
00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:49,000
Speaker 1: glad he got a good deal from Kansas City. Hope

230
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:51,080
Speaker 1: it works out for him the way it worked out

231
00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:54,920
Speaker 1: for Tyrone Matthew. But I keep the next veteran. I

232
00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:57,839
Speaker 1: want to see him sign as gruge Hill, because as

233
00:12:57,880 --> 00:13:00,160
Speaker 1: you guys know, he had a really good season, even

234
00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:03,680
Speaker 1: though when I look at every list of top free agents,

235
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:08,560
Speaker 1: he's hardly ever mentioned, even in the top one. And yeah,

236
00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:11,680
Speaker 1: it's sometimes hard to break through those narratives of oh

237
00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:14,360
Speaker 1: he was the backup special teamer or whatever the case

238
00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:16,240
Speaker 1: might be, he should be on those lists. He had

239
00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:19,520
Speaker 1: a really solid season. Maybe Jalen Reeves Maybin is the

240
00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:22,320
Speaker 1: guy that I don't know replaces him. Who's to say,

241
00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:24,200
Speaker 1: but you're right, Comed, who's when we're keep an eye

242
00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:29,120
Speaker 1: on John as you watch This free agent period happened

243
00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:31,480
Speaker 1: for the Texans and they've brought back, as Mark said,

244
00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:35,319
Speaker 1: Leek Colin Desmond King players of that ill Christian Kirksey.

245
00:13:35,520 --> 00:13:39,720
Speaker 1: They've also added receivers More Conley today. I think it

246
00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:43,280
Speaker 1: was the fact that they brought it back Royce Freeman,

247
00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:45,679
Speaker 1: who I thought had a couple of nice ball games

248
00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:47,120
Speaker 1: at the end of the year, showing some of the

249
00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:49,920
Speaker 1: things that he can do. I don't think they'll end

250
00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:51,920
Speaker 1: up adding a quarterback outside of Kyle and All because

251
00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:55,000
Speaker 1: they have Jeff riscoln At Davis Mills. So pick number

252
00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:58,160
Speaker 1: three in the draft, if you were to handicap that,

253
00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:02,520
Speaker 1: what would you do? How would you go about handicapping

254
00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:06,040
Speaker 1: pick number three overall? Right? Now, given the fact that

255
00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:09,000
Speaker 1: Evan Neil and Aquanta we talked about Larmy Tunsil's coming

256
00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:10,960
Speaker 1: back and Titus will over the right side of tackle,

257
00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:12,640
Speaker 1: how would you look at what they're going to do

258
00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:16,800
Speaker 1: at number three? As of this moment, hopefully Titus goes

259
00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:20,240
Speaker 1: back to right tackle. George warhop realizes he's a tackle,

260
00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:23,960
Speaker 1: not a guard. I think right now, with Tunsil coming back,

261
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:27,880
Speaker 1: the tackles are set. Then based on what they have,

262
00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:31,360
Speaker 1: they are destitute at safety. They would have to take

263
00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:34,160
Speaker 1: Kyle Hamilton, which is fine because I know you'd love

264
00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:36,680
Speaker 1: it since you've got him rated number one in the draft,

265
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:41,000
Speaker 1: and other people do too, And I just don't know

266
00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:44,120
Speaker 1: how they could pass him up. A great prospect who

267
00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:48,040
Speaker 1: can do so many different things for your defense except

268
00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:51,840
Speaker 1: play right in. And they're not desperate for an offensive

269
00:14:51,920 --> 00:14:54,680
Speaker 1: lineman in the first round. If Tunsil been traded, they

270
00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:57,760
Speaker 1: would be. They'd need four starters in the offensive line.

271
00:14:57,800 --> 00:15:00,240
Speaker 1: But I think it's got to be Hamilton. I think

272
00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:03,280
Speaker 1: he would be a really safe pick. Lovey Smith is

273
00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:08,120
Speaker 1: he has coached Charles Tillman, John Lynch and the s Williams.

274
00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:09,600
Speaker 1: He had him when he was a corner and went

275
00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:12,000
Speaker 1: to safety. And there's one of the safety I can't

276
00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:14,480
Speaker 1: remember who it was that played a big role in

277
00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:18,120
Speaker 1: one of Love's defenses. Not Danielle Manning, although he did

278
00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:21,880
Speaker 1: too in Chicago. But he knows the value of having

279
00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:25,000
Speaker 1: a versatile safety can get cover and play up or

280
00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:28,320
Speaker 1: back or left side or right side. Kyle Hamilton can

281
00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:31,160
Speaker 1: do that. Now, if they could make that deal with Carolina,

282
00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:34,680
Speaker 1: get Jeremy Chen who's also six four in two twenty

283
00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:38,040
Speaker 1: and second round pick who's been tremendous, that would solve

284
00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:40,680
Speaker 1: that need. But right now, guys, it looks to me

285
00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:45,960
Speaker 1: like Kyle Hamilton, okay, and Kyle Hamilton Hamilton, as you said,

286
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:48,120
Speaker 1: General number one of the Harris one hundred, which is

287
00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:52,120
Speaker 1: on the Texans App, easy to digest information everything you

288
00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:54,360
Speaker 1: wanted to know about these prospects, but we're afraid to

289
00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:56,520
Speaker 1: ask if you go to other sites, in your head

290
00:15:56,560 --> 00:15:59,920
Speaker 1: starts spinning like Linda Blair, fear not go to the app.

291
00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:03,520
Speaker 1: It's easy to understand. General. Back to the Colts for

292
00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:06,080
Speaker 1: a moment here. If it's not Matt Ryan, if it's

293
00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:08,480
Speaker 1: not in Mayfield, what are they going to do? They

294
00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:12,000
Speaker 1: trade Carson Wentz. They have nobody at quarterback right now.

295
00:16:12,040 --> 00:16:14,480
Speaker 1: They have no solution, and they have a team that's

296
00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:16,880
Speaker 1: basically good to go, at least good to contend for

297
00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:20,440
Speaker 1: a deep playoff run. Thoughts, they also are not going

298
00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:22,480
Speaker 1: to be getting a quarterback who's going to cost the

299
00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:24,720
Speaker 1: number one pick this year because they don't have one

300
00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:28,640
Speaker 1: at quarterbacks going to philadel That pick's going to Philadelphia.

301
00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:32,320
Speaker 1: But they're trying to overtake Tennessee for the division championship.

302
00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:36,360
Speaker 1: They've got that Jacksonville defeat hunting them throughout the off season.

303
00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:39,320
Speaker 1: They didn't wait to get rid of Carson Wentz, and

304
00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:42,080
Speaker 1: they're lucky that Washington took them off their hands. But

305
00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:45,640
Speaker 1: they will make a quarterback move, and I would think

306
00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:48,040
Speaker 1: the best one would be Ryan. I would think the

307
00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:51,000
Speaker 1: second would be Mayfield. If I were a quarterback, I

308
00:16:51,040 --> 00:16:54,560
Speaker 1: would try to orchestrate a deal to the Colts because

309
00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:57,920
Speaker 1: of what they've got to offer John. There's been so

310
00:16:58,040 --> 00:17:02,560
Speaker 1: much movement. We talk about this a lot about who's

311
00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:05,000
Speaker 1: winning March, and a lot of times who wins March

312
00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:08,359
Speaker 1: doesn't matter who wins February the following year in the

313
00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:12,800
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. But my goodness, the Buffalo Bills signing Von Miller,

314
00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:16,720
Speaker 1: O J. Howard, and de Kwon Jones, in particular Von Miller,

315
00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:20,320
Speaker 1: all in the span of about fifteen to thirty minutes yesterday,

316
00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:23,880
Speaker 1: right when our show started. I would imagine they've got

317
00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:26,560
Speaker 1: to be a big winner in free agency? Do you

318
00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:29,280
Speaker 1: agree A and B? Who else would you say our

319
00:17:29,320 --> 00:17:32,440
Speaker 1: quote unquote winners in free agency at this time of year. Well,

320
00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:35,440
Speaker 1: the Jaguars have won March. You know, that's the only

321
00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:38,440
Speaker 1: time they can't win anything. They beat the Texans in March.

322
00:17:38,520 --> 00:17:41,439
Speaker 1: They haven't beat them since two thousand and seventeen. And

323
00:17:41,480 --> 00:17:44,200
Speaker 1: I think von Miller, that just shows you didn't give

324
00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:47,080
Speaker 1: your quarterback at a lot of money, and you can

325
00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:49,800
Speaker 1: have number one defense in the NFL and you can

326
00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:51,760
Speaker 1: give up a lot of yards and points in a

327
00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:54,480
Speaker 1: game to the Chiefs and you realize, we got to

328
00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:58,200
Speaker 1: improve our pass rush. Von Miller was hurt a lot

329
00:17:58,280 --> 00:18:01,760
Speaker 1: last year, nine and a half acts two in the playoffs.

330
00:18:01,800 --> 00:18:04,440
Speaker 1: He always rises to the occasion. He's got a chance

331
00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:07,200
Speaker 1: to be the first player in NFL history to win

332
00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:11,800
Speaker 1: Super Bowls with three different teams, and I think that

333
00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:15,160
Speaker 1: will be very important to him. But my goodness, he's

334
00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:17,520
Speaker 1: going to be thirty three and he got fifty something

335
00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:22,280
Speaker 1: million guaranteed. Good for him, and they needed to bolster

336
00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:25,320
Speaker 1: their pass rush. But when it comes to share money,

337
00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:31,120
Speaker 1: nobody tops the Jaguars. It's amazing the different approaches they

338
00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:35,760
Speaker 1: take from the Texans. Nec Necessario is building different phases.

339
00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:38,199
Speaker 1: He's not blowing money on a lot of players that

340
00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:40,159
Speaker 1: are going to have to be redone in two or

341
00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:42,840
Speaker 1: three years, are gone in two or three years. He's

342
00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:46,360
Speaker 1: got a plan. And when you spend money on players

343
00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:51,280
Speaker 1: like Christian Kirk, you know, and I'm happy for him

344
00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:56,040
Speaker 1: and his agent, But my goodness, those Jaguars players say,

345
00:18:56,080 --> 00:18:58,840
Speaker 1: we're busting our butt over here. We're losing, We're doing

346
00:18:58,840 --> 00:19:02,520
Speaker 1: everything again. Spread some love. Don't bring in some guy

347
00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:05,160
Speaker 1: for another team and give it to him. I kind

348
00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:07,880
Speaker 1: of thought they resigned d J. Chark and he went

349
00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:12,320
Speaker 1: to Detroit. I guess he likes losing franchises, but I

350
00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:17,000
Speaker 1: just I think they have one March and when they're

351
00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:21,560
Speaker 1: trying to sell tickets and suites and club seats and sponsorships,

352
00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:25,960
Speaker 1: that's obviously very important. Owners shot time and g M.

353
00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:29,600
Speaker 1: Trent Balki, and I think Doug Peterson would probably go

354
00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:33,520
Speaker 1: along with anything. I could tell you who's not winning

355
00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:36,879
Speaker 1: March me, I'm ready to throw my bracket into my

356
00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:41,919
Speaker 1: fire pit. After Iowa lost to Richmond, I did have

357
00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:45,560
Speaker 1: Memphis beating Boise today. I did not have Michigan beating

358
00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:48,359
Speaker 1: Colorado State. Maybe that was an emotional pick because I

359
00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:52,520
Speaker 1: couldn't root for Michigan under any circumstances. So there general

360
00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:55,320
Speaker 1: tell me this. You've been in this business a long

361
00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:58,439
Speaker 1: time and you do it all. You write columns, you

362
00:19:58,600 --> 00:20:00,959
Speaker 1: cover the game, you can talk xs and oos, and

363
00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:03,160
Speaker 1: you've broken a lot of stories. But there are some

364
00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:06,520
Speaker 1: guys who are really story breakers and that's basically all

365
00:20:06,560 --> 00:20:08,399
Speaker 1: they do, like the Ian Rappaports of the world and

366
00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:11,760
Speaker 1: Adam Schefters. What kind of pressure are people like that

367
00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:14,840
Speaker 1: under right now to get this Watson thing right? I

368
00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:17,000
Speaker 1: feel like everybody's sort of hedging their bet. And I

369
00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:19,359
Speaker 1: don't mean those two guys specifically, but a lot of

370
00:20:19,359 --> 00:20:22,320
Speaker 1: other people in the mix. But again, this time of year,

371
00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:25,159
Speaker 1: or maybe any time of year, the pressure to break

372
00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:28,159
Speaker 1: stories for some of these reporters, what's it like? What

373
00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:30,399
Speaker 1: are they going through? Well, first of all, I know

374
00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:32,320
Speaker 1: all those guys and I've talked to them a lot

375
00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:34,480
Speaker 1: through the years, and they love it. They heat it

376
00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:37,160
Speaker 1: up and that's what they want to do, and they

377
00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:40,760
Speaker 1: get in really tight with ages Like Adam Schefter's got

378
00:20:40,760 --> 00:20:44,280
Speaker 1: ten million Twitter followers, nobody can come closer. And he

379
00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:46,879
Speaker 1: tells an age and a I'll tweet about you, but

380
00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:50,199
Speaker 1: I need this or I want that. And Adam also

381
00:20:50,480 --> 00:20:53,720
Speaker 1: learns a lot about people, so he tells general managers

382
00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:56,760
Speaker 1: he's an information broker, and they take good care of him.

383
00:20:56,800 --> 00:21:00,399
Speaker 1: And then everyone of them would try really hard to

384
00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:04,639
Speaker 1: get in with David Mullighetta or Brian Barney Watson's agent,

385
00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:08,800
Speaker 1: a marketing guy, doing anything they can, hoping those guys

386
00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:11,639
Speaker 1: will help them break that story. And that's what they do.

387
00:21:11,760 --> 00:21:15,359
Speaker 1: They're good guys. The hard worker. Tom Pello Serro's come along,

388
00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:20,360
Speaker 1: Jeremy Fowler on ESPN wants to do that. Don Grossi

389
00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:25,000
Speaker 1: Dan Grousiano of ESPN. There are quite a few guys

390
00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:28,359
Speaker 1: that relish that role on the national scale. The better

391
00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:30,600
Speaker 1: they are at it, the more followers they get, the

392
00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:34,520
Speaker 1: more followers they get, the more money they make. General

393
00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:36,800
Speaker 1: I know, it's it's hard to be one hundred percent

394
00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:40,000
Speaker 1: in that job. It's really tough. People expect you to

395
00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:44,000
Speaker 1: be one hundred percent in that job. You for your

396
00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:46,280
Speaker 1: entire career here in the city of Houston, you have

397
00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:48,760
Speaker 1: been that guy. Have you ever had a moment where

398
00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:53,359
Speaker 1: you broke something and then you're like, oh my gosh,

399
00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:55,639
Speaker 1: is this thing to come to fruition where you got really,

400
00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:58,600
Speaker 1: really nervous and then it happened and your nerves were

401
00:21:58,680 --> 00:22:01,080
Speaker 1: obviously satisfied. Did you ever have a situation where you

402
00:22:01,119 --> 00:22:04,160
Speaker 1: broke something and then it didn't happen and you're kind

403
00:22:04,160 --> 00:22:05,480
Speaker 1: of like, wait, what's going on? Did you ever have

404
00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:07,719
Speaker 1: a situation where you got pretty nervous about something that

405
00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:11,040
Speaker 1: you broke. I was nervous every time I had a

406
00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:14,200
Speaker 1: story like that, no matter who told me, and because

407
00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:16,960
Speaker 1: you always were that something could happen. And when I

408
00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:19,280
Speaker 1: when I'm wrong on something, I'll tweet I'm a more

409
00:22:19,320 --> 00:22:22,159
Speaker 1: honor an idiot. Nobody else does that. They want you

410
00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:24,960
Speaker 1: to just act like I don't know anybody else that

411
00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:27,480
Speaker 1: does that. They want you to think you didn't read

412
00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:30,120
Speaker 1: what they put out there. But I think if you're wrong,

413
00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:32,480
Speaker 1: you should admit you wrong. I'll say on six ten,

414
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:35,200
Speaker 1: you know I'm an idiot when I get something wrong,

415
00:22:35,240 --> 00:22:37,600
Speaker 1: But I would rather get beat than be wrong on

416
00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:41,400
Speaker 1: a big story saying something's about to happen, Like when

417
00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:43,600
Speaker 1: I had broke a story that they thought they were

418
00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:45,879
Speaker 1: gonna get to watch it done, still done by the

419
00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:48,560
Speaker 1: end of the week, it got a lot of attention,

420
00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:50,600
Speaker 1: and I said, if they didn't, then it will go

421
00:22:50,680 --> 00:22:52,800
Speaker 1: up to the trading deadline. And they didn't because of

422
00:22:52,800 --> 00:22:57,399
Speaker 1: the lawsuits. And I don't I don't generally notifications, but

423
00:22:57,440 --> 00:23:02,200
Speaker 1: I was told I got crushed over it. Yeah, don't

424
00:23:02,240 --> 00:23:06,440
Speaker 1: look at those things. Don't look under any circumstances. Never, General,

425
00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:09,119
Speaker 1: what do you have? Never? What do you have going on?

426
00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:11,919
Speaker 1: In the Houston Chronicle for us, Well Brooks, Cobaine and

427
00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:15,359
Speaker 1: I have a lot of stuff about the Texans quarterback

428
00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:17,760
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson, who will have a new zip coat at

429
00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:22,600
Speaker 1: some point. So okay. John McClain from the Houston Chronicle,

430
00:23:22,640 --> 00:23:24,359
Speaker 1: thanks so much for being with us. General as all,

431
00:23:24,480 --> 00:23:26,880
Speaker 1: Mark and John, thank you guys very much. As always,

432
00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:31,640
Speaker 1: will have a good time. Enjoy it, enjoy it. Wait,

433
00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:33,440
Speaker 1: what's he doing in New Orleans? Is that a hint?

434
00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:38,240
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, did we got here? He's at a wedding. Oh,

435
00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:43,200
Speaker 1: that's a likely story. He's got something, he knows something.

436
00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:46,520
Speaker 1: This is like the end of trading places. This is

437
00:23:46,520 --> 00:23:49,880
Speaker 1: the end of trading plays is Mortimer and Randolph? They

438
00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:54,159
Speaker 1: know something? He has The frozen concentrated orange juice report

439
00:23:54,200 --> 00:23:59,600
Speaker 1: from Clarence Peaks Peaks? Is that really dated? Way to esoteric? Wait?

440
00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:04,680
Speaker 1: Hold on, I watched Trading Places with my kids and

441
00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:09,000
Speaker 1: this is almost forty years after it was released. They

442
00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:16,359
Speaker 1: were howling, so it's dated reference, but it still holds up.

443
00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:20,480
Speaker 1: It is hilarious. I'll give you another one. There's a

444
00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:23,119
Speaker 1: reference from Trading Places in one of the high School

445
00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:25,639
Speaker 1: musical movies, and I know that on social media we

446
00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:28,920
Speaker 1: referenced high School Musical yesterday because it could be the

447
00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:31,160
Speaker 1: start of something new or something with the new league year,

448
00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:34,639
Speaker 1: and I tweeted a Gabriella and Troy Bolton gift or whatever.

449
00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:37,640
Speaker 1: But anyway, in movie number two, because my kids were

450
00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:40,920
Speaker 1: watching it, and in movie number two, somebody walks into

451
00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:43,520
Speaker 1: the country club, it says, and he stepped on the ball,

452
00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:46,840
Speaker 1: And that's directly from Trading Places, right. It's just an

453
00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:50,400
Speaker 1: offshoot sort of line, and you had to be there,

454
00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:52,600
Speaker 1: but it was pretty funny. And anybody under the age

455
00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:55,920
Speaker 1: of forty right now saying, what are you talking about? Okay,

456
00:24:56,119 --> 00:24:59,200
Speaker 1: let's do this. We're gonna give you the latest whatever

457
00:24:59,320 --> 00:25:02,720
Speaker 1: that is, because in the next five minutes everything could change.

458
00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:04,639
Speaker 1: I thought it was changing with ten minutes to go,

459
00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:08,160

00:26:21,640 --> 00:26:28,120
Speaker 1: Trade Watch and Sports Talk at l Jake has tweeted

477
00:26:28,160 --> 00:26:31,440
Speaker 1: more on Watts and the Falcons have negotiated a restructured contract,

478
00:26:31,560 --> 00:26:34,919
Speaker 1: purse source. No one else unless I missed it in

479
00:26:34,920 --> 00:26:39,440
Speaker 1: the last ten seconds. Wait a minute, no one else

480
00:26:39,520 --> 00:26:44,240
Speaker 1: has waited in although schefter Johnny posts this, the Packers

481
00:26:44,240 --> 00:26:49,399
Speaker 1: are trading Davante Adams to the Raiders for is that Adam?

482
00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:55,240
Speaker 1: Schefter is Adams. You gotta look, you gotta Adam what

483
00:26:55,600 --> 00:26:58,040
Speaker 1: it's blue check mark. You can't fake the blue check

484
00:26:58,080 --> 00:27:00,520
Speaker 1: can't You know? You can fake it in a screen shot,

485
00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:05,919
Speaker 1: but not on a tweet. Raiders is massive, that's massive,

486
00:27:06,040 --> 00:27:10,600
Speaker 1: two prime twenty twenty two picks. And you know what,

487
00:27:10,720 --> 00:27:14,639
Speaker 1: depending on that, that might that might send Nickossario or

488
00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:19,720
Speaker 1: renegotiating any kind of death that he already made. It

489
00:27:19,880 --> 00:27:21,760
Speaker 1: is expected that the Raiders and Devantae Adams will be

490
00:27:21,800 --> 00:27:23,320
Speaker 1: able to work out a long term agreement to keep

491
00:27:23,400 --> 00:27:25,399
Speaker 1: him in Vegas, where he now will be reunited with

492
00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:28,520
Speaker 1: his college teammate Derek Carr. That's according to Schef Durham

493
00:27:28,560 --> 00:27:31,800
Speaker 1: and Rappaport gets it at the exact same time. This

494
00:27:31,880 --> 00:27:33,880
Speaker 1: is That's why I want to talk to McLean more

495
00:27:33,920 --> 00:27:37,159
Speaker 1: about this kind of thing. This happens, right, so the

496
00:27:37,280 --> 00:27:40,400
Speaker 1: agent or whatever gives it to both of them. Oh,

497
00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:44,159
Speaker 1: by the way, hang on a second. I've got nothing

498
00:27:44,160 --> 00:27:47,280
Speaker 1: else on watching to Atlanta except from that Sports Talk

499
00:27:47,359 --> 00:27:51,760
Speaker 1: Atlanta Jake from sports Talk atl dot com, and he

500
00:27:51,840 --> 00:27:54,040
Speaker 1: does have a blue check mark. That doesn't mean he's

501
00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:58,359
Speaker 1: always right, but he says that according to a source,

502
00:27:58,600 --> 00:28:06,560
Speaker 1: it's Atlanta anyway going. So my I, my buddy Sal

503
00:28:08,040 --> 00:28:10,280
Speaker 1: had got a call. This was a think two years ago.

504
00:28:10,359 --> 00:28:15,040
Speaker 1: He got a call from a player's dad saying he's

505
00:28:15,080 --> 00:28:18,480
Speaker 1: coming back to Buffalo and it was kind of surprising,

506
00:28:18,800 --> 00:28:22,320
Speaker 1: and Sal was about to go. He was about to

507
00:28:22,359 --> 00:28:25,560
Speaker 1: send a tweet and I think it was Bill's pr

508
00:28:25,680 --> 00:28:28,800
Speaker 1: call up and said, no, no, no, look, we sort

509
00:28:28,800 --> 00:28:30,560
Speaker 1: of promised I don't know one of the national guys

510
00:28:30,640 --> 00:28:33,520
Speaker 1: or whatever, I can't remember who it was. You guys,

511
00:28:33,560 --> 00:28:35,639
Speaker 1: can can you guys do this at the same time?

512
00:28:35,920 --> 00:28:40,400
Speaker 1: And literally they counted down three two, one tweet and

513
00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:44,280
Speaker 1: they tweeted at the same exact time. So it was

514
00:28:44,400 --> 00:28:46,280
Speaker 1: like one had it over the other, and it was

515
00:28:46,360 --> 00:28:49,280
Speaker 1: just it was it was wild. I mean it really,

516
00:28:49,480 --> 00:28:52,760
Speaker 1: it really is kind of a wild game to play

517
00:28:52,840 --> 00:28:56,320
Speaker 1: to That's why I just let it happen. And then okay,

518
00:28:56,400 --> 00:28:59,360
Speaker 1: let's talk about the football ramifications. And that's obviously why

519
00:28:59,360 --> 00:29:01,440
Speaker 1: you hired me to do that. I'm not breaking news.

520
00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:05,200
Speaker 1: I you know, talk about the ramifications this DeVante adamsdingh

521
00:29:05,240 --> 00:29:08,000
Speaker 1: my god, the AFC West, what is I mean? The

522
00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:11,840
Speaker 1: AFC West just decided we're not only we're not only

523
00:29:11,880 --> 00:29:13,960
Speaker 1: pushing all the chips we have to the table. We're

524
00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:16,440
Speaker 1: going back to the ATM and we're getting more cash

525
00:29:16,440 --> 00:29:18,800
Speaker 1: and we're just throwing that into the table too. I mean,

526
00:29:18,920 --> 00:29:22,520
Speaker 1: everybody over there is going all in. So now you've

527
00:29:22,560 --> 00:29:26,880
Speaker 1: got Derek Carr with DeVante Adams in Las Vegas. You

528
00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:31,040
Speaker 1: got Mahomes in his band of merry men in Kansas City.

529
00:29:31,400 --> 00:29:34,520
Speaker 1: You've got Russell Wilson throwing to Courtland Sutton, Jerry Judy,

530
00:29:34,640 --> 00:29:39,000
Speaker 1: kJ Hammler in Denver. And then you got Justin Herbert

531
00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:41,920
Speaker 1: throwing on Mike Williams and Keenan Allen. And we face

532
00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:46,720
Speaker 1: all four of those teams in twenty twenty two, yep.

533
00:29:46,760 --> 00:29:51,240
Speaker 1: And you have Kansas City coming into NRG Stadium. Texans

534
00:29:51,240 --> 00:29:54,800
Speaker 1: will go to Denver and the Chargers. Actually, no, the

535
00:29:54,880 --> 00:29:57,600
Speaker 1: Chargers are coming in. We'll go to the Raiders and Denver.

536
00:29:58,880 --> 00:30:01,680
Speaker 1: This is amazing Pro football talk tweets. Is it too

537
00:30:01,720 --> 00:30:05,080
Speaker 1: late for Aaron Rodgers to ask for the trade. Well, yeah,

538
00:30:06,800 --> 00:30:10,800
Speaker 1: so that that is interesting because I've been thinking the

539
00:30:10,800 --> 00:30:13,840
Speaker 1: whole time. I mean, look, Aaron's gonna get Aaron's getting paid,

540
00:30:14,640 --> 00:30:18,440
Speaker 1: So where's the money to pay Davante? Because they're paying

541
00:30:18,480 --> 00:30:22,800
Speaker 1: bat are pretty good money. They're paying others on that team,

542
00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:24,760
Speaker 1: you know, Kenny Clark on the inside. I mean, it's

543
00:30:24,800 --> 00:30:27,840
Speaker 1: not a massive deal, but it's enough. So Aaron Jones

544
00:30:27,880 --> 00:30:32,720
Speaker 1: got a second contract last offseason, I think, so where's

545
00:30:32,720 --> 00:30:35,200
Speaker 1: all the money going? And if what they said, he's

546
00:30:35,240 --> 00:30:37,880
Speaker 1: not playing on the franchise tag. So there you go.

547
00:30:37,960 --> 00:30:41,040
Speaker 1: The Raiders swoop in. And it was funny because yesterday

548
00:30:41,080 --> 00:30:45,000
Speaker 1: Mark I had seen somebody posted the video and said,

549
00:30:45,080 --> 00:30:48,080
Speaker 1: remember the good old days when college teammates Derek Carr

550
00:30:48,160 --> 00:30:53,640
Speaker 1: and DeVante Adams were tearing up Mountain West. And I'm like, okay,

551
00:30:53,760 --> 00:30:55,240
Speaker 1: I mean it was cool to watch the highlights, because

552
00:30:55,240 --> 00:30:57,440
Speaker 1: you know me, I'll watch you know, college highlights all

553
00:30:57,520 --> 00:31:01,280
Speaker 1: day long. But I saw that. I didn't think twice

554
00:31:01,320 --> 00:31:03,880
Speaker 1: about it until I saw that tweet, and I'm like,

555
00:31:03,920 --> 00:31:06,560
Speaker 1: wait a second, is somebody get tipped off on something

556
00:31:06,680 --> 00:31:10,600
Speaker 1: or is that just a pure coincidence that yesterday people,

557
00:31:10,680 --> 00:31:13,400
Speaker 1: somebody's floating out there a video of highlights of Derek

558
00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:17,680
Speaker 1: Carr and DeVante Adams, So it gets very interesting for

559
00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:19,880
Speaker 1: defensive backs also in the AFC West, I can't believe

560
00:31:19,880 --> 00:31:22,200
Speaker 1: I buried the lead. I thought they Adams and Hunter

561
00:31:22,200 --> 00:31:23,760
Speaker 1: rent for are two of the best route runners in

562
00:31:23,800 --> 00:31:26,720
Speaker 1: the league. They will get open in a quick minute.

563
00:31:26,760 --> 00:31:28,920
Speaker 1: It is going to be fascinating to watch that Raiders

564
00:31:28,960 --> 00:31:33,640
Speaker 1: offense with Josh McDaniels now running it, Darren Waller, Josh

565
00:31:33,720 --> 00:31:37,440
Speaker 1: Jacobs running the rock. Oh my gosh, yes, I mean

566
00:31:37,520 --> 00:31:40,920
Speaker 1: it's pretty good. It's pretty good out there for Derek

567
00:31:40,960 --> 00:31:43,600
Speaker 1: Carr and for the Packers. Look, they're gonna have to

568
00:31:43,640 --> 00:31:45,840
Speaker 1: go young or make another trade. I don't know what

569
00:31:45,880 --> 00:31:48,280
Speaker 1: they do, but they obviously felt like they couldn't come

570
00:31:48,320 --> 00:31:51,600
Speaker 1: to a contract agreement with Davante Adams. It is tough

571
00:31:51,880 --> 00:31:57,200
Speaker 1: to pay a quarterback huge money and a receiver and

572
00:31:57,520 --> 00:32:00,320
Speaker 1: you name it, one or two other positions. Even that

573
00:32:00,440 --> 00:32:02,640
Speaker 1: alone can really put a lot of strain on your

574
00:32:02,680 --> 00:32:04,960
Speaker 1: cap and make it difficult to fill out a really

575
00:32:04,960 --> 00:32:09,160
Speaker 1: competitive team. So we'll see, uh And we're again monitoring

576
00:32:09,160 --> 00:32:12,960
Speaker 1: the situation. A lot of a lot of Atlanta chatter

577
00:32:13,040 --> 00:32:15,000
Speaker 1: out there, but I'm not gonna say anything for sure,

578
00:32:15,440 --> 00:32:20,959
Speaker 1: because you know what Ian Rappaport just tweeted, Okay, pante

579
00:32:21,040 --> 00:32:26,160
Speaker 1: Adams gets a new contract worth one hundred forty one

580
00:32:26,440 --> 00:32:32,000
Speaker 1: million dollars over five years. He gets an average of

581
00:32:32,160 --> 00:32:39,480
Speaker 1: twenty eight million per year. Twenty eight million. Receiver should

582
00:32:39,480 --> 00:32:43,400
Speaker 1: send him a thank you note. That's twenty eight million million.

583
00:32:44,160 --> 00:32:48,400
Speaker 1: That's what in Brady's gonna make with the Bucks this year. Well, Brady,

584
00:32:48,440 --> 00:32:51,160
Speaker 1: I never braid things in terms of brady salary. When

585
00:32:51,200 --> 00:32:54,560
Speaker 1: you talk Kirk Cousins, now I'm talking about financially, you know,

586
00:32:54,720 --> 00:32:59,520
Speaker 1: really lucrative quarterback. Brady has wanted to take less money.

587
00:32:59,560 --> 00:33:01,480
Speaker 1: I know it's especially with the Patriots, not as much

588
00:33:01,480 --> 00:33:04,200
Speaker 1: with Tampa Bay. But I understand what you're saying. And

589
00:33:04,320 --> 00:33:06,640
Speaker 1: for the Packers that was an off starter. There was

590
00:33:06,680 --> 00:33:08,320
Speaker 1: no way they could go there. There was no way

591
00:33:08,320 --> 00:33:10,320
Speaker 1: the Packers were going to go there. I guess Derek Carr,

592
00:33:10,360 --> 00:33:13,840
Speaker 1: who did get that second big contract, does I don't

593
00:33:13,840 --> 00:33:15,680
Speaker 1: have it in front of me, but I'm betting it's

594
00:33:16,360 --> 00:33:19,360
Speaker 1: It's not the market value of some of these quarterback

595
00:33:19,440 --> 00:33:21,400
Speaker 1: deals that we're getting in the last two three years

596
00:33:21,440 --> 00:33:25,760
Speaker 1: here because two three like two three years ago, if

597
00:33:25,760 --> 00:33:28,280
Speaker 1: I remember right, I don't think Derek. I could be wrong,

598
00:33:28,440 --> 00:33:33,520
Speaker 1: but I don't think Derek Carr's money is is exorbitant

599
00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:36,239
Speaker 1: as opposed to what you know, some of the things

600
00:33:36,280 --> 00:33:38,760
Speaker 1: that we've seen. I'm trying to remember. He signed Derek

601
00:33:38,800 --> 00:33:41,120
Speaker 1: Carrson a five year, one hundred and twenty five million

602
00:33:41,080 --> 00:33:47,280
Speaker 1: dollar contract with the Raiders back in twenty a seventeen.

603
00:33:48,360 --> 00:33:54,080
Speaker 1: That right, he's unrestricted free agent after this year. He's

604
00:33:54,080 --> 00:33:56,440
Speaker 1: getting paid. Holy smokes, you know what he's getting paid

605
00:33:56,480 --> 00:34:00,560
Speaker 1: this year, nineteen point eight million. That's why you can

606
00:34:00,600 --> 00:34:05,280
Speaker 1: go and get Dvante Adams. Do you think the packer

607
00:34:05,400 --> 00:34:09,359
Speaker 1: Do you think Rogers is upset enough after this? I mean,

608
00:34:09,360 --> 00:34:12,600
Speaker 1: this is a this is a player who wanted Randall

609
00:34:12,680 --> 00:34:15,880
Speaker 1: Cobb back. And I bring that up only because obviously

610
00:34:15,960 --> 00:34:18,719
Speaker 1: Randall Cobb is not Davante Adams. But Rogers wants what

611
00:34:18,800 --> 00:34:20,879
Speaker 1: he wants. We all know that. And it's not just

612
00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:24,080
Speaker 1: about the money. He wants to win. And you just

613
00:34:24,120 --> 00:34:28,440
Speaker 1: took a major hit by trading away Davante Adams, even

614
00:34:28,440 --> 00:34:30,239
Speaker 1: though you get two prime picks and whatever else they're

615
00:34:30,239 --> 00:34:32,719
Speaker 1: gonna get. I don't have the return and that deal yet.

616
00:34:32,800 --> 00:34:35,279
Speaker 1: Do you see it anywhere? I don't have that. See,

617
00:34:35,320 --> 00:34:37,920
Speaker 1: that's the thing that's gonna happen. Mark, Let's say it

618
00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:41,359
Speaker 1: de Shaun deal does get announced. I would imagine we're

619
00:34:41,360 --> 00:34:44,200
Speaker 1: not going to get the terms that deal for a

620
00:34:44,239 --> 00:34:47,160
Speaker 1: little while after that. So we might hear Atlanta and

621
00:34:47,280 --> 00:34:49,960
Speaker 1: be like, Okay, okay, great for Atlanta. Atlanta can celebrate

622
00:34:49,960 --> 00:34:51,480
Speaker 1: and do what everybody can talk about what it means

623
00:34:51,480 --> 00:34:54,720
Speaker 1: to Atlanta. Meanwhile, we're all going, what are we getting

624
00:34:54,760 --> 00:34:57,399
Speaker 1: back in return? We've been waiting for a while. We

625
00:34:57,440 --> 00:35:00,840
Speaker 1: want another returnment. So we'll see what the Packers end

626
00:35:00,920 --> 00:35:06,120
Speaker 1: up getting. Listen, there are some good, really good young

627
00:35:06,400 --> 00:35:10,759
Speaker 1: wide receivers in this draft, and I mean from the

628
00:35:10,760 --> 00:35:14,120
Speaker 1: Trailer Burkes to Garrett Wilson at Crystal Lava. There are

629
00:35:14,200 --> 00:35:16,200
Speaker 1: some good ones. You can get two of them in

630
00:35:16,239 --> 00:35:19,240
Speaker 1: this draft, especially if you've got prime picks. As it's

631
00:35:19,280 --> 00:35:22,920
Speaker 1: as it said, they're not at Davante Adams level at

632
00:35:22,960 --> 00:35:25,000
Speaker 1: this point. I mean Davante Adams was raw coming into

633
00:35:25,000 --> 00:35:27,279
Speaker 1: the league and he polished it and became arguably one

634
00:35:27,280 --> 00:35:29,239
Speaker 1: of the top three receivers in the league. And now

635
00:35:29,280 --> 00:35:31,719
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers is throwing. I mean for years it was

636
00:35:31,760 --> 00:35:34,120
Speaker 1: like Aaron Rodgers needs number two to throw too. Now

637
00:35:34,160 --> 00:35:38,799
Speaker 1: he needs a number one to throw too. Yep, yep

638
00:35:39,080 --> 00:35:42,160
Speaker 1: he does. He needs a number one. He needs more weapons. Look,

639
00:35:42,400 --> 00:35:46,839
Speaker 1: they've instilled an ethic of running the football with Matt

640
00:35:46,920 --> 00:35:49,040
Speaker 1: Lafleura as the head coach, right, and they've done a

641
00:35:49,040 --> 00:35:51,360
Speaker 1: good job doing that, and that will still be a

642
00:35:51,440 --> 00:35:54,160
Speaker 1: bread and butter kind of thing. But you have one

643
00:35:54,160 --> 00:35:56,160
Speaker 1: of the greatest quarterbacks that ever played the game there

644
00:35:56,360 --> 00:35:58,759
Speaker 1: and he needs weapons, so they'll have to address that.

645
00:35:59,160 --> 00:36:02,640
Speaker 1: The AFC West is insane. It's hard to handicap the

646
00:36:02,680 --> 00:36:06,200
Speaker 1: best team right now because everything's changing again in real time.

647
00:36:06,239 --> 00:36:09,520
Speaker 1: I mean, as we speak, this acquisition takes place for

648
00:36:09,600 --> 00:36:13,040
Speaker 1: the La Raiders as they are the Vegas Raiders. Did

649
00:36:13,040 --> 00:36:15,400
Speaker 1: I see the LA Raiders? How far back am I

650
00:36:15,560 --> 00:36:20,400
Speaker 1: going here? How about the Cleveland How about the Cleveland Rams?

651
00:36:20,800 --> 00:36:24,719
Speaker 1: How about the Chicago Cardinals as I'm going at it,

652
00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:28,520
Speaker 1: or the Cults being the old Dallas Texans and the

653
00:36:28,600 --> 00:36:31,200
Speaker 1: Chiefs being a Dallas Texans as well, although a more

654
00:36:31,239 --> 00:36:35,480
Speaker 1: recent Dallas Texans than the Colts. Kids, This is your history, lesson,

655
00:36:35,719 --> 00:36:40,680
Speaker 1: This is funny. The Fresno State football Twitter account tweeted,

656
00:36:41,000 --> 00:36:46,719
Speaker 1: is it really happening? Oh that's beautiful? Yes, you talk

657
00:36:46,800 --> 00:36:51,319
Speaker 1: about you talk about Derek Carr college highlights. Go look

658
00:36:51,360 --> 00:36:53,319
Speaker 1: at fans when you have time, when you have nothing

659
00:36:53,320 --> 00:36:55,040
Speaker 1: else to do, go to YouTube and look at David

660
00:36:55,160 --> 00:37:00,320
Speaker 1: Carr college highlights. He lit it up as a senior

661
00:37:00,360 --> 00:37:02,200
Speaker 1: at Fresno State. There was a reason why David was

662
00:37:02,239 --> 00:37:04,320
Speaker 1: the number one pick draft. I know it didn't exactly

663
00:37:04,360 --> 00:37:08,480
Speaker 1: go according to plan here, but he that was warranted

664
00:37:08,560 --> 00:37:10,520
Speaker 1: at the time. I mean, based on everything you knew

665
00:37:10,840 --> 00:37:13,279
Speaker 1: at the time, Yes, that was gonna be your number

666
00:37:13,320 --> 00:37:16,960
Speaker 1: one overall pick. All right, next up? Whatever happens next

667
00:37:17,400 --> 00:37:20,719
Speaker 1: is next. In other words, we are monitoring his situation.

668
00:37:21,040 --> 00:37:24,440
Speaker 1: In the last ten minutes, the Davante Adams trade broke.

669
00:37:24,920 --> 00:37:28,120
Speaker 1: What's in the next segment? Stay tuned. It's Texans Radio.

670
00:37:29,800 --> 00:37:36,360
Speaker 1: Chickson's Radio continues in a moment, It's Ford truck months, Texas.

671
00:37:37,160 --> 00:37:39,160
Speaker 1: Now's the time to get a great deal on the

672
00:37:39,200 --> 00:37:43,040
Speaker 1: only trucks built Ford. Tough work or play Get after

673

Speaker 1: it in a new Ford F one fifty or super

674
00:37:45,160 --> 00:37:47,759
Speaker 1: duty truck. Get behind the wheel of a new Ford

675

Speaker 1: full Ford lineup of trucks. But you better get going.

678
00:37:57,880 --> 00:38:07,880
Speaker 1: These deals won't lapse. Get four trucks. Jickson's radio is back.

679
00:38:12,239 --> 00:38:16,800
Speaker 1: Mark Vatabaron, John Harris with you Texans. All accents were lived.

680
00:38:17,320 --> 00:38:20,480
Speaker 1: Adams traded to the Raiders from the Green Bay Packers

681
00:38:20,520 --> 00:38:23,040
Speaker 1: a couple of prime picks. But that's all we know

682
00:38:23,239 --> 00:38:27,200
Speaker 1: right now. Unless I'm missing something, Texans will play the

683
00:38:27,239 --> 00:38:31,480
Speaker 1: AFC West. Go ahead. Mark Rappaport tweeted it's a first

684
00:38:31,560 --> 00:38:39,360
Speaker 1: rounder and other picks and potentially a player going back

685
00:38:39,520 --> 00:38:43,240
Speaker 1: to Green Bay, which is going to be kind of interesting.

686
00:38:43,400 --> 00:38:47,719
Speaker 1: Rapport also tweeted this. Tom Palasaro tweeted something of that

687
00:38:47,800 --> 00:38:51,520
Speaker 1: ilk as well. Rapport tweeted while Aaron Rodgers was negotiating

688
00:38:51,520 --> 00:38:54,000
Speaker 1: his contract, he knew Devanta Adams would never play for

689
00:38:54,080 --> 00:38:57,280
Speaker 1: the Packers again. The situation was too far gone. Something

690
00:38:57,280 --> 00:38:59,359
Speaker 1: had to give, and when Adams informed Green Bay wasn't

691
00:38:59,360 --> 00:39:01,960
Speaker 1: playing an attack, talks got fired up. Now Adams will

692
00:39:01,960 --> 00:39:06,080
Speaker 1: be on the Raiders. Pelasaro then added that it appeared

693
00:39:06,160 --> 00:39:10,279
Speaker 1: the Raiders Packers deal was dead on Wednesday, but it

694
00:39:10,360 --> 00:39:12,399
Speaker 1: came back to life on Thursday, and Adams is about

695
00:39:12,440 --> 00:39:16,840
Speaker 1: to join the Raiders. Yeah, so it's entirely possible that

696
00:39:16,960 --> 00:39:20,200
Speaker 1: Rogers knew about this and or knew he wasn't going

697
00:39:20,239 --> 00:39:21,879
Speaker 1: to be a part of it long term. But maybe

698
00:39:21,880 --> 00:39:24,160
Speaker 1: he was hoping against hope. Who knows. And we'll see

699
00:39:24,160 --> 00:39:25,759
Speaker 1: how it plays out for Green Bay. I don't really

700
00:39:25,800 --> 00:39:28,120
Speaker 1: care about them. I care about the Texans, and I'm

701
00:39:28,120 --> 00:39:32,440
Speaker 1: wondering what is going on with the big trade, like

702
00:39:32,600 --> 00:39:35,400
Speaker 1: you all are. Story out of Atlanta from a local

703
00:39:35,480 --> 00:39:39,440
Speaker 1: sports talker there that it was Atlanta, but nothing is

704
00:39:39,440 --> 00:39:42,000
Speaker 1: confirmed and none of the big guns in reporting and

705
00:39:42,080 --> 00:39:48,279
Speaker 1: breaking NFL stories have confirmed it or chimed in on it. Yeah,

706
00:39:48,320 --> 00:39:51,799
Speaker 1: of course. So I mean we just sit and we wait,

707
00:39:52,080 --> 00:39:56,560
Speaker 1: We wait, and I would listen. I've said this. I

708
00:39:56,560 --> 00:39:58,520
Speaker 1: was talking about wife a little bit today and I

709
00:39:58,560 --> 00:40:00,799
Speaker 1: just said, we've waited this long, you know, I mean

710
00:40:00,840 --> 00:40:04,239
Speaker 1: we all want to know. Yeah, we've waited this long.

711
00:40:04,680 --> 00:40:07,880
Speaker 1: I mean, we're not playing tomorrow. The draft isn't tomorrow.

712
00:40:08,040 --> 00:40:10,200
Speaker 1: We can find out next Thursday. At this time. It's

713
00:40:10,280 --> 00:40:12,920
Speaker 1: just the fact that because it's been so long, and

714
00:40:12,960 --> 00:40:17,080
Speaker 1: it's been hanging over everybody's head here in Houston. Everybody,

715
00:40:17,120 --> 00:40:18,759
Speaker 1: for the most part has come to grips with the

716
00:40:18,800 --> 00:40:21,840
Speaker 1: fact that that the Shan's not going to be here anymore,

717
00:40:22,160 --> 00:40:24,400
Speaker 1: and so it's a matter of everybody moving on. But

718
00:40:24,440 --> 00:40:29,279
Speaker 1: it's like, let's like, let's let's go what's because this,

719
00:40:29,480 --> 00:40:32,680
Speaker 1: all of this has been out there because Sports by

720
00:40:32,760 --> 00:40:36,960
Speaker 1: Numbers or whatever it is in Atlanta, whatever his name is,

721
00:40:37,400 --> 00:40:40,279
Speaker 1: has said it's it's happening, and you know, it's a

722
00:40:40,360 --> 00:40:43,920
Speaker 1: restructured contract. I mean, it's all that. I mean, there's

723
00:40:43,960 --> 00:40:45,439
Speaker 1: so many different I mean, you could do a thirty

724
00:40:45,480 --> 00:40:47,319
Speaker 1: for thirty on this darn thing, to be honest with you,

725
00:40:47,400 --> 00:40:51,279
Speaker 1: and it would probably be as intriguing television as there

726
00:40:51,280 --> 00:40:54,239
Speaker 1: could be. But I think everybody just we just want

727
00:40:54,280 --> 00:40:55,560
Speaker 1: to We just want to know. We want to know

728
00:40:56,840 --> 00:41:00,480
Speaker 1: what's the return, where's it gonna be, and look, wherever

729
00:41:00,480 --> 00:41:02,799
Speaker 1: he goes, we're all gonna watch because this is the

730
00:41:02,840 --> 00:41:06,160
Speaker 1: greatest reality show that's ever been created. Are you not

731
00:41:06,440 --> 00:41:09,360
Speaker 1: refreshing every five minutes to see what else this league

732
00:41:09,400 --> 00:41:12,440
Speaker 1: is gonna do? I mean, Johnny, it's been horrible. It's

733
00:41:12,480 --> 00:41:15,560
Speaker 1: been horrible because it's horrible in the way that look,

734
00:41:15,600 --> 00:41:19,200
Speaker 1: it's not truly horrible. This is sports context horrible. I'm

735
00:41:19,239 --> 00:41:22,600
Speaker 1: on my phone constantly. I usually am anyway. It's usually

736
00:41:22,640 --> 00:41:27,080
Speaker 1: like an appendage. Now it's an organ. Now it's almost

737
00:41:27,160 --> 00:41:30,799
Speaker 1: like what Richard prior to describe something really ellicit to

738
00:41:30,880 --> 00:41:33,319
Speaker 1: be in Live on Sunset Strip, where it's like you

739
00:41:33,360 --> 00:41:35,239
Speaker 1: get a little too far away from it and it

740
00:41:35,280 --> 00:41:37,560
Speaker 1: starts calling in the phone's like you let you got

741
00:41:37,600 --> 00:41:39,759
Speaker 1: a little too far away from me. Don't leave me

742
00:41:39,800 --> 00:41:42,520
Speaker 1: alone over here on the table. No, take me with

743
00:41:42,600 --> 00:41:44,759
Speaker 1: you wherever you go. You're going to the bathroom, You're

744
00:41:44,760 --> 00:41:48,400
Speaker 1: definitely taking the phone with you, okay, and you're going anywhere.

745
00:41:48,680 --> 00:41:50,640
Speaker 1: Don't spend time with the kids, or if you do,

746
00:41:50,880 --> 00:41:52,719
Speaker 1: you're gonna have your head on the phone. You're gonna

747
00:41:52,719 --> 00:41:55,960
Speaker 1: be refreshing because you want to know what's going on. Vandermere.

748
00:41:56,120 --> 00:41:58,399
Speaker 1: You are not leaving me alone today. My phone gets

749
00:41:58,440 --> 00:42:01,960
Speaker 1: very demanding. Yes, that's what it's sounds like to me. Absolutely.

750
00:42:02,360 --> 00:42:04,960
Speaker 1: It's funny. As Sean and I were texting, I can't

751
00:42:04,960 --> 00:42:07,239
Speaker 1: remember what night it was. We were texting and he

752
00:42:07,680 --> 00:42:10,200
Speaker 1: made a comment. He was at the rodeo and he

753
00:42:10,239 --> 00:42:13,680
Speaker 1: had made a comment that his wife he was like,

754
00:42:13,760 --> 00:42:16,240
Speaker 1: he might as well just to have been anybody, because

755
00:42:16,280 --> 00:42:18,040
Speaker 1: he was just in his phone the whole time. He's

756
00:42:18,080 --> 00:42:20,040
Speaker 1: in his phone the whole time, as his wife Amy

757
00:42:20,160 --> 00:42:23,000
Speaker 1: tried to watch the rodeo and he's just stop the phone.

758
00:42:23,000 --> 00:42:25,000
Speaker 1: I mean we all were. I was doing the same thing.

759
00:42:25,440 --> 00:42:27,480
Speaker 1: I've told anybody that wants to get a hold of me,

760
00:42:27,680 --> 00:42:30,120
Speaker 1: like call or text, because my phone is in my hand,

761
00:42:30,400 --> 00:42:32,400
Speaker 1: and if I'm not answering, then I really don't want

762
00:42:32,440 --> 00:42:35,440
Speaker 1: to talk to you. But I have my phone in

763
00:42:35,480 --> 00:42:38,879
Speaker 1: my hand. You can contact me because it's going. It's

764
00:42:38,880 --> 00:42:44,319
Speaker 1: going nowhere. And unlike unlike you, Mark, I have no

765
00:42:44,440 --> 00:42:47,200
Speaker 1: defenses for it because Page and they are both in

766
00:42:47,280 --> 00:42:50,920
Speaker 1: Los Angeles, so I have no defense to that. There's

767
00:42:51,000 --> 00:42:53,080
Speaker 1: there's none. I can't put it away. And she'd be like,

768
00:42:53,120 --> 00:42:56,719
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have family time. No, it is right next

769
00:42:56,719 --> 00:43:00,560
Speaker 1: to my hip because you never know what's next. Plus

770
00:43:00,560 --> 00:43:03,000
Speaker 1: you have to tournament going on right now. It's crazy.

771
00:43:05,640 --> 00:43:07,640
Speaker 1: But I hold my phone out in front of me

772
00:43:07,800 --> 00:43:11,400
Speaker 1: or just kind of have an both. In my view,

773
00:43:11,520 --> 00:43:15,239
Speaker 1: the tournament. Sure, last night's Rutgers Notre Dame game was outstanding.

774
00:43:16,320 --> 00:43:22,080
Speaker 1: Outstanding so unbelievable. And today, look, today was great too.

775
00:43:22,520 --> 00:43:25,000
Speaker 1: A lot of these games were terrific um. Maybe not

776
00:43:25,040 --> 00:43:27,640
Speaker 1: as good as last night's double overtime win by Notre Dame,

777
00:43:27,640 --> 00:43:31,880
Speaker 1: although I was rooting for Rutgers because Jim Valvano, gentlemen,

778
00:43:32,440 --> 00:43:37,600
Speaker 1: it'll you're the most important thing in your life is God, family,

779
00:43:38,040 --> 00:43:41,960
Speaker 1: and Rutgers basketball. All right, that's from the speech that

780
00:43:42,040 --> 00:43:44,160
Speaker 1: he gave it the SPS. It's really he said, the

781
00:43:44,200 --> 00:43:46,920
Speaker 1: Green Bay Packers by accident because he stole it from Lompardy.

782
00:43:47,160 --> 00:43:50,560
Speaker 1: Uh John Shiver. Our tickets are texted me. The box

783
00:43:50,600 --> 00:43:54,400
Speaker 1: score of the Packers forty nine ers playoff game. Rogers

784
00:43:54,440 --> 00:43:58,319
Speaker 1: completed twenty of twenty nine. Get this, Adams had nine

785
00:43:58,360 --> 00:44:01,359
Speaker 1: catches Jones out of the backfield at nine. Nobody else

786
00:44:01,360 --> 00:44:04,720
Speaker 1: had more than one. Right, Lazard and Lewis had one apiece.

787
00:44:04,920 --> 00:44:07,600
Speaker 1: That's it. So they need some help and we'll see

788
00:44:07,600 --> 00:44:09,239
Speaker 1: how it goes. Cob had nothing in that one, did

789
00:44:09,360 --> 00:44:12,160
Speaker 1: even play. He's got a zero on their meaning he

790
00:44:12,239 --> 00:44:16,160
Speaker 1: might have played and just didn't catch anything or anything. Mark,

791
00:44:16,200 --> 00:44:18,040
Speaker 1: how about this? I asked Chris, this starn to break

792
00:44:18,520 --> 00:44:21,520
Speaker 1: and I know Mahomes is the game changer. But you

793
00:44:21,520 --> 00:44:25,880
Speaker 1: get Mahomes and Kelsey and Tyreeke, or you get Car

794
00:44:26,160 --> 00:44:29,480
Speaker 1: with Waller, Renfro and Adams. Which one you take it?

795
00:44:29,800 --> 00:44:36,600
Speaker 1: Which is more firepower? Do that again? Mahomes with and

796
00:44:36,640 --> 00:44:42,719
Speaker 1: Tyreek or Derek Carr with Renfro, Waller and Davante. You know,

797
00:44:42,840 --> 00:44:45,840
Speaker 1: Mahomes has been in some big situations where he hasn't

798
00:44:45,840 --> 00:44:47,680
Speaker 1: come through in the clutch, but he gets to those

799
00:44:47,680 --> 00:44:52,120
Speaker 1: situations right, So sometimes I think people evaluate him unfairly

800
00:44:52,320 --> 00:44:55,160
Speaker 1: that way. Lacard a chance to beat the Bengals in

801
00:44:55,200 --> 00:44:58,920
Speaker 1: the postseason late, couldn't do it, didn't do it. I

802
00:44:59,000 --> 00:45:02,440
Speaker 1: still take Mahome and his merry band of pass catchers

803
00:45:02,440 --> 00:45:05,600
Speaker 1: because they've been there. But again, there are other elements.

804
00:45:05,760 --> 00:45:08,799
Speaker 1: Can you hold up offensive line wise, passpor all of that.

805
00:45:09,280 --> 00:45:11,359
Speaker 1: Does Mahomes make a good decision? I think he will.

806
00:45:11,440 --> 00:45:13,640
Speaker 1: Does Car make a good decision? He hasn't been there

807
00:45:13,760 --> 00:45:15,920
Speaker 1: enough to prove himself. He's only played in one playoff

808
00:45:15,960 --> 00:45:17,640
Speaker 1: game in his career. Johnny, that's going to do it

809
00:45:17,680 --> 00:45:20,600
Speaker 1: for the show. It did not break. The story did

810
00:45:20,640 --> 00:45:23,720
Speaker 1: not break during our time here together tonight and maybe

811
00:45:23,719 --> 00:45:27,319
Speaker 1: by tomorrow night. As Trade Watch continues, Texans with some

812
00:45:27,440 --> 00:45:30,960
Speaker 1: interesting acquisitions. We'll talk about them more tomorrow. Thank you
