1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,880
Speaker 1: Hello Texans, and welcome. It's Texans All Access. Like the

2
00:00:03,960 --> 00:00:08,080
Speaker 1: man said from the Hounday Texans Radio studio inside NRG Stadium,

3
00:00:08,080 --> 00:00:11,040
Speaker 1: Mark vander Mayer and John Harris with you tonight as

4
00:00:11,080 --> 00:00:14,600
Speaker 1: we talk about OTAs and Mini Camp. Really, mini camp

5
00:00:14,840 --> 00:00:19,759
Speaker 1: is the Camp Dajour. It's practice Dajour. OTAs are over,

6
00:00:20,040 --> 00:00:23,119
Speaker 1: but Mini Camp was kind of light today compared to

7
00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:25,480
Speaker 1: what we've seen in some of the OTAs. That's how

8
00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:28,640
Speaker 1: they're handling it going into tomorrow, going into the break

9
00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:31,000
Speaker 1: between Mini camp a training camp that I choose to

10
00:00:31,040 --> 00:00:34,120
Speaker 1: call the desert. So we have a lot to do tonight,

11
00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:37,560
Speaker 1: so we'll talk about that. We'll visit with the Sean

12
00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:41,519
Speaker 1: Watson and segment two that'll be around six eighteen to

13
00:00:41,560 --> 00:00:44,360
Speaker 1: six twenty tonight. We'll check in with the Seaun nice

14
00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:48,600
Speaker 1: conversation with him, including but not limited to him making

15
00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:51,760
Speaker 1: me feel very old, and in the final segments some

16
00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:54,520
Speaker 1: gut reaction to some of the things Watson has to say.

17
00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:57,200
Speaker 1: We'll hear from j. J. Watt in just a few moments,

18
00:00:57,240 --> 00:01:01,440
Speaker 1: but Johnny, obviously after practice today, the big questions about

19
00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:04,080
Speaker 1: the Texans search for a general manager or the franchise

20
00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:07,360
Speaker 1: in transition and that position right now. So it was

21
00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:09,840
Speaker 1: understandable that the media would want to know some stuff.

22
00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:15,600
Speaker 1: Oh and the media was crawling, crawling around over here.

23
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:18,640
Speaker 1: It was not surprising to see that many cameras, that

24
00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:21,800
Speaker 1: many faces that we know in the media here, but

25
00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:25,440
Speaker 1: everybody was here. They wanted to hear what the Texans

26
00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:27,600
Speaker 1: we're gonna have to say, figuring that Bill O'Brian was

27
00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:30,320
Speaker 1: going to meet with the media and hear what he

28
00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:33,360
Speaker 1: had to say about the situation. And look, going in,

29
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:36,639
Speaker 1: I mean, I knew it was gonna happen. I figured

30
00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:39,720
Speaker 1: you knew what was gonna happen, and that Bill wasn't

31
00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:42,760
Speaker 1: going to share conversations that he's had with Cal or

32
00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:45,400
Speaker 1: other people in the organization, even though people were going

33
00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:47,680
Speaker 1: to ask the questions. And there there was a time

34
00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:49,680
Speaker 1: during the press conference where Bill was like, look, I

35
00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:52,480
Speaker 1: understand you're asking these questions. I understand why you're asking

36
00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:55,200
Speaker 1: these questions. Look, he's from Boston, he gets it. Yeah,

37
00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:57,640
Speaker 1: but he's not going to share that information and he

38
00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:00,440
Speaker 1: should those those are conversations that he had with his boss,

39
00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:03,760
Speaker 1: with his superiors here with the Texas. He shouldn't share

40
00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:07,080
Speaker 1: those things. Well, and he does. He did share some

41
00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:09,760
Speaker 1: things and this was his statement that he opened the

42
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:12,440
Speaker 1: press conference with him. This is basically everything you needed

43
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:14,519
Speaker 1: to hear about what he was going to say about

44
00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:18,080
Speaker 1: the Texas the general manager situation currently. Kell McNair said

45
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:20,359
Speaker 1: it all in his statement the other day. He did

46
00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:25,000
Speaker 1: a thorough evaluation of the football operation. I'm not I'm

47
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:27,240
Speaker 1: not saying that he did it by himself, but he

48
00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:29,720
Speaker 1: did a thorough evaluation of the football operation and that

49
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:32,560
Speaker 1: included me. He was very clear with me on what

50
00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:34,919
Speaker 1: we needed to do to continue to grow as an organization,

51
00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:38,880
Speaker 1: as a football team. A couple of things on Calm,

52
00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:41,720
Speaker 1: you know. Obviously last year was a tough year relative

53
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:46,120
Speaker 1: to losing his dad, Bob McNair, and in really you know,

54
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:48,960
Speaker 1: getting to know cal over the last you know, a

55
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:52,840
Speaker 1: few months here obviously since November. He's a humble, humble person.

56
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:57,640
Speaker 1: He's very very good at articulating what he wants, what

57
00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:02,880
Speaker 1: he sees his vision, um, you know, the improvements that

58
00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:07,400
Speaker 1: he thinks needs to be made relative to the whole building,

59
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:11,720
Speaker 1: not just coaching staff, but the whole building. I don't think,

60
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:14,440
Speaker 1: you know, obviously, he's not afraid to make tough decisions,

61
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:18,920
Speaker 1: and number one is relative to this football team he

62
00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:22,200
Speaker 1: wants to win. He's been perfectly clear, Like I said

63
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:25,919
Speaker 1: in the beginning, he's been perfectly clear with me what

64
00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:29,440
Speaker 1: he wants, what he wants me to improve on, what

65
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:32,840
Speaker 1: he wants me to do, and and he's been perfectly

66
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:35,520
Speaker 1: clear with the whole organization on what his expectations are

67
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:39,640
Speaker 1: moving forward. So with that being said, UM not going

68
00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:42,840
Speaker 1: to really get into any more details relative to that. Obviously,

69
00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:45,840
Speaker 1: no conversations with cal I'm not going to talk about

70
00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:47,800
Speaker 1: any of those things. Bell O'Brien in front of the

71
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:51,600
Speaker 1: media today as he was asked about the general manager situation. Now,

72
00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:53,920
Speaker 1: another guy appeared in front of in front of the

73
00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:55,920
Speaker 1: media in Factor or a few, but one of them

74
00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:58,880
Speaker 1: named J. J. Watt. You've heard of him, and you

75
00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:01,200
Speaker 1: know that last year he was coming back from an

76
00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:06,240
Speaker 1: injury that cost him most of twenty seventeen. Twenty seventeen

77
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:08,000
Speaker 1: was a season of which he was coming back from

78
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:10,280
Speaker 1: an injury that cost him most of twenty sixteen. So

79
00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:12,600
Speaker 1: he's coming off a full season and he's feeling a

80
00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:15,600
Speaker 1: whole lot better this year that he did last year.

81
00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:19,159
Speaker 1: At this Ota Slash Minicamp, part of the campaign. I

82
00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:21,479
Speaker 1: feel a lot better obviously mentally last year and this

83
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:24,520
Speaker 1: year because I'm not wondering, you know, last year was

84
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:29,080
Speaker 1: a lot of wondering, hoping, having a good idea that

85
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:31,240
Speaker 1: I was on the right path, but you never know

86
00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:32,720
Speaker 1: for sure when you're coming off of what I was

87
00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:35,200
Speaker 1: coming off of. This year, you're not coming off of

88
00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:37,920
Speaker 1: as much. You're just working and growing and getting better,

89
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:40,680
Speaker 1: and you have more of a solid, confident stance. And

90
00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:43,000
Speaker 1: I think that that's where I'm at this year, is

91
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:46,320
Speaker 1: that I'm very confident, whereas last year I was confident

92
00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:49,360
Speaker 1: but kind of hesitant. And so this year that hesitancy

93
00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:52,040
Speaker 1: has gone, not having come off of a bad injury,

94
00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:56,000
Speaker 1: but coming off of solid season. And so it's good

95
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:57,400
Speaker 1: to have that feeling, and it's good to be going

96
00:04:57,440 --> 00:04:59,920
Speaker 1: into a season without those doubts. And what also did

97
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:02,600
Speaker 1: talk a little bit about getting engaged and things like that,

98
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:04,960
Speaker 1: how difficult it is to schedule a wedding, even for

99
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:08,680
Speaker 1: normal people, but especially for what because his bride has

100
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:13,600
Speaker 1: her Houston Dash season, he has his Houston Texans season.

101
00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:16,279
Speaker 1: Hard to find those dates on the calendar kind of

102
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:17,960
Speaker 1: reminds me. Never mind, I'm not going to get into

103
00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:20,240
Speaker 1: my own personal story, but it does happen to a

104
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:24,080
Speaker 1: lot of people and we get it. Yeah, absolutely no.

105
00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:27,000
Speaker 1: For me, my season was over when my wife and

106
00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:29,280
Speaker 1: I got got married in December, So as soon as

107
00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:31,200
Speaker 1: my season was over, it was like, Okay, we got

108
00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:32,640
Speaker 1: these things to do for the wedding. I was like,

109
00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:34,960
Speaker 1: and then I was coaching baseball, so it was like,

110
00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:39,080
Speaker 1: found that window in December. So December fifteen, Can I

111
00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:42,240
Speaker 1: give guys the ultimate hint here or helpful hint in

112
00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:45,480
Speaker 1: terms of being engaged and getting ready for the big one? Yes, honey,

113
00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:47,440
Speaker 1: what do we need to do? Yes, exactly. Just go

114
00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:50,840
Speaker 1: with it. And if you can get out of shopping

115
00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:53,320
Speaker 1: for the registry, just get out of it. Have her

116
00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:56,280
Speaker 1: mother or your mother, somebody else go with her. You

117
00:05:56,960 --> 00:05:59,200
Speaker 1: do not want to get involved with this. There's so

118
00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:04,040
Speaker 1: many different lay So yeah, because you know you can

119
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:06,520
Speaker 1: just say yes, yes, yes, whatever you say. Well, wait

120
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:08,359
Speaker 1: a minute, I want you to have an opinion on this,

121
00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:10,680
Speaker 1: and then when you do have an opinion, it's going

122
00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:13,440
Speaker 1: to be debated. So just try to get out of

123
00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:15,840
Speaker 1: shopping for the registry. That's all I'm gonna say about that.

124
00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:18,120
Speaker 1: You see Texans all access. We help you in a

125
00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:21,640
Speaker 1: variety of ways. It's not just about football, it's about life.

126
00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:24,840
Speaker 1: That's what we do. Anyway, you heard from JJ Watt,

127
00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:26,960
Speaker 1: you heard from Bill O'Brien. If there's anything happening with

128
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:29,120
Speaker 1: the general manager situation, you know, to keep it right

129
00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:32,040
Speaker 1: here on Sports Radio six ten, our partner at US

130
00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:35,000
Speaker 1: six nights a week at six o'clock at Houston Texans

131
00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:37,400
Speaker 1: dot com and all of it, so we'll keep you informed.

132
00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:38,880
Speaker 1: I don't know if there's much to say on that

133
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:41,040
Speaker 1: right now. We talked last night about the timing of

134
00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:44,719
Speaker 1: the search and how it's not such a bad time

135
00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:48,640
Speaker 1: because the draft choices are in the barn, the ninety

136
00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:51,000
Speaker 1: man roster basically in the barn. There will be tweaks

137
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:53,280
Speaker 1: and everything, everybody tweaks, but you got the bulk of

138
00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:55,480
Speaker 1: the players on this roster, all right. A few other

139
00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:58,120
Speaker 1: things that Bill O'Brien had to say. He talked about improvement.

140
00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:00,720
Speaker 1: Dpcity wrote about this on Houston Texas dot Com. How

141
00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:03,000
Speaker 1: that's been the theme of the off season and it

142
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:06,800
Speaker 1: sounds simple, but I don't think that this should be overlooked.

143
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:09,440
Speaker 1: Watson's always talked about one percent better every day, and

144
00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:12,000
Speaker 1: you'll hear from Watson in the next segment. And I

145
00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:14,920
Speaker 1: think that if you apply this to life, any walk

146
00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:16,960
Speaker 1: of life, you're gonna get a whole lot better if

147
00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:19,440
Speaker 1: you try to get a little tiny bit better every day.

148
00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:23,600
Speaker 1: It doesn't take much. It's the accumulation over time. People

149
00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:26,240
Speaker 1: in the financial world will tell you compounded interest does

150
00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:29,400
Speaker 1: pay off. Right, how about that job right there? I

151
00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:33,000
Speaker 1: went there, But that exists in sports too. There's a

152
00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:35,560
Speaker 1: compounded interest sort of effect when you're trying to get

153
00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:37,880
Speaker 1: a little tiny bit better every day, no question. And

154
00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:40,520
Speaker 1: I think I like to Sean in particular being the

155
00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:43,760
Speaker 1: quarterback of this team, and we'll talk with him about this.

156
00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:46,600
Speaker 1: Just the comfortability you have with the offensive, comfortability you

157
00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:49,680
Speaker 1: have with the people around you. I think OTAs are

158
00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:52,160
Speaker 1: the toughest for obviously the offensive alignment, because they don't

159
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:54,960
Speaker 1: get to do what they're asked to do on every

160
00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:57,320
Speaker 1: every week basis. How hard is that for them? By

161
00:07:57,360 --> 00:08:00,200
Speaker 1: the way, they can't fire off like they probably want

162
00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:02,840
Speaker 1: to get angry and hits something every once in a while.

163
00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:05,480
Speaker 1: Defensive players certainly do, but as an offensive linement, you

164
00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:09,320
Speaker 1: really can't be aggressive out there. Yeah, And I think

165
00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:11,680
Speaker 1: that to me is the hard part. But it's also

166
00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:14,480
Speaker 1: to the point of, as you said, with the seawan,

167
00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:17,120
Speaker 1: one percent better every day. So if you're alignment and

168
00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:20,200
Speaker 1: you know you're not going to hit anybody, what is

169
00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:22,520
Speaker 1: it that you are going to work on that day

170
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:26,120
Speaker 1: to get better that day? Isn't your footwork for foot placement?

171
00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:29,120
Speaker 1: Isn't your kickstep? Is your your punch when you're working

172
00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:31,000
Speaker 1: on the backs. Is you want to do something quicker,

173
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:32,760
Speaker 1: You wanta do something faster, You want to be more

174
00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:36,640
Speaker 1: deliberate with something. You want to see something the defense

175
00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:39,640
Speaker 1: is doing today that you didn't see yesterday. You want

176
00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:43,920
Speaker 1: to be more in tuned to the entire offense, with

177
00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:46,240
Speaker 1: the entire offensive, do not just your little role. So

178
00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:48,760
Speaker 1: what is it as an offensive lineman in particular, or

179
00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:52,440
Speaker 1: even a defensive lineman, but the lineman in particular that

180
00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:54,720
Speaker 1: is going to make you better day after day, And

181
00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:56,760
Speaker 1: that I think ends up being a hard part. Because

182
00:08:56,800 --> 00:09:00,880
Speaker 1: today we watched wide receivers, even in a shortened practice,

183
00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:03,000
Speaker 1: if you will, We saw the wide receivers working on

184
00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:06,120
Speaker 1: the finer points of certain routes. Yeah, so they can

185
00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:08,120
Speaker 1: run arount and they can work on their route running

186
00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:11,720
Speaker 1: every time they're doing something, the defensive lineman not so much.

187
00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:15,720
Speaker 1: You know, making making contact with somebody is a lot

188
00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:19,800
Speaker 1: different than blocking somebody, right, and you can't work on

189
00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:24,960
Speaker 1: those two particular aspects during OTA. So how do lineman

190
00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:28,040
Speaker 1: end up getting better? I mean, that's that's It's actually

191
00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:30,480
Speaker 1: something the general and I were talking about at OTA's

192
00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:32,200
Speaker 1: a little bit today, like, how do you know an

193
00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:36,240
Speaker 1: offensive linem's getting better? It's pretty tough. But watch the footwork.

194
00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:40,160
Speaker 1: Watch how quick they are. Do they recognize things out here?

195
00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:42,440
Speaker 1: How can you tell that? Yeah? Really it's really tough.

196
00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:44,920
Speaker 1: But I mean I can't tell a thing. It's hard

197
00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:49,040
Speaker 1: for me. There's there's no Well, it's hard for everybody,

198
00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:52,240
Speaker 1: I think, because we don't know, Okay, what's the what's

199
00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:54,160
Speaker 1: the assignment on this play? What are they supposed to

200
00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:56,079
Speaker 1: be able to do on this play? But you can

201
00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:58,880
Speaker 1: see from day one up take for instance, tight As Howard,

202
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:02,520
Speaker 1: Max Sharping. I remember seeing them in rookie Minicamp and

203
00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:06,080
Speaker 1: first day at rookie Minicamp. It's the first time that

204
00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:09,120
Speaker 1: they're in a different environment than they were in college. Right,

205
00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:11,880
Speaker 1: it's the first time that they're getting different coaching. For

206
00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:13,200
Speaker 1: the most part. I mean, they were at the Senior

207
00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:14,760
Speaker 1: Bowl for a little bit. The Senior Bowl, it's more

208
00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:17,880
Speaker 1: about creating competition than it is about, hey, we're gonna

209
00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:19,600
Speaker 1: mess with your technique or all that kind of stuff.

210
00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:22,839
Speaker 1: So when their first day at rookie Minicamp, I'm watching it.

211
00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:25,520
Speaker 1: I'm looking at their technique because I'm so used to

212
00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:27,640
Speaker 1: seeing the NFL guys, watching our guys do it and

213
00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:31,080
Speaker 1: seeing the technique that they're bringing because they've crafted it

214
00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:34,280
Speaker 1: over years, and it just looks so clean. And then

215
00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:36,720
Speaker 1: you watch the rookies and you're like, WHOA, Okay, I

216
00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:39,080
Speaker 1: can see where their technique needs to get better, where

217
00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:41,840
Speaker 1: the foot placement and stance all that kind of stuff

218
00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:43,640
Speaker 1: needs to get better. But then when I watched the

219
00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:45,839
Speaker 1: rookies today, you can tell that they've worked on those

220
00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:49,199
Speaker 1: things that it looks a little cleaner, like they seemingly

221
00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:52,640
Speaker 1: fit in amongst the veterans on the offensive line. When

222
00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:55,280
Speaker 1: they're out there with veterans, it's not as if, Okay,

223
00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:57,079
Speaker 1: that guy's a rookie. Look at him. You can tell

224
00:10:57,120 --> 00:10:59,559
Speaker 1: his technique and its feet are just terrible. That guy's

225
00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:02,439
Speaker 1: a rookie. Look it's not perfect right at all, but

226
00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:05,920
Speaker 1: you can at least see how they're working and to

227
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:08,679
Speaker 1: have a comparison point of the first day they got here,

228
00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:11,440
Speaker 1: to see them then and to see them now, and

229
00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:13,280
Speaker 1: see how far they've come in that period of time

230
00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:15,840
Speaker 1: when they haven't hit anybody where they haven't put on pads.

231
00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:18,960
Speaker 1: And I hope that that improvement continues when they do

232
00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:20,760
Speaker 1: put on pads. I think that's going to be obviously

233
00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:23,240
Speaker 1: hugely important. That's hard for me to spot with an

234
00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:25,760
Speaker 1: offensive lineman. And in a couple of thoughts on that,

235
00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:28,440
Speaker 1: there is and I always applied to something that a

236
00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:30,319
Speaker 1: lot of people can relate to, and maybe not everybody,

237
00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:33,280
Speaker 1: but most people. Golf swing right. If you've ever had

238
00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:35,559
Speaker 1: a golf lesson, and you gotta put your hand your

239
00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:38,160
Speaker 1: grip like this and set it up here, and then

240
00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:41,040
Speaker 1: you know so much to remember a tennis stroke right,

241
00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:43,760
Speaker 1: so much to remember. So I for an offensive lineman,

242
00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:45,920
Speaker 1: and maybe this applies to a lot of positions. You

243
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:48,760
Speaker 1: put your left foot here, you put your right foot there,

244
00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:51,719
Speaker 1: and maybe OTAs is the time you can do all

245
00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:55,079
Speaker 1: that stuff rightout worrying about Oh von Miller is about

246
00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:56,839
Speaker 1: to eat me alive. How am I going to deal

247
00:11:56,880 --> 00:11:59,480
Speaker 1: with this and then you've revert back to whatever. This

248
00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:01,360
Speaker 1: is a time to try to get that technique going.

249
00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:04,400
Speaker 1: And we've talked a lot about this relative to quarterbacks,

250
00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:07,600
Speaker 1: guys who try to change their arms, slot or whatever.

251
00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:10,360
Speaker 1: And then Andrea Ways talks about during the broadcast, how hey,

252
00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:12,560
Speaker 1: a lot of guys revert back when they're under pressure.

253
00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:15,400
Speaker 1: They revert back to whatever side armor or whatever bad

254
00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:19,280
Speaker 1: habit they had before. So there's that now. The one

255
00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:23,719
Speaker 1: player that improved that I could really spot improve it

256
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:26,680
Speaker 1: in from the beginning of OTAs this is once upon

257
00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:29,560
Speaker 1: a time stuff to the end of OTAs was Deshaun

258
00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:31,640
Speaker 1: Watson because he has the ball in his hands every

259
00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:35,880
Speaker 1: single snap and two years ago when he was a rookie,

260
00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:38,560
Speaker 1: from the very first OTA to the last, I was like,

261
00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:41,040
Speaker 1: oh boy, we've seen some big progress during these last

262
00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:43,480
Speaker 1: few weeks. And that was cool. But that's a little

263
00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:45,360
Speaker 1: bit easier because, like I said, he's throwing the ball

264
00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:48,960
Speaker 1: on every dawn. Receivers sometimes it's hard for me. You know,

265
00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:52,640
Speaker 1: the hands you can see improvement, and that's very often

266
00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:55,600
Speaker 1: a year to year kind of thing, but I don't know.

267
00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:57,679
Speaker 1: Sometimes you know, John Perry might be telling them to

268
00:12:57,720 --> 00:13:00,200
Speaker 1: run a certain route with a certain nuance to it.

269
00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:02,640
Speaker 1: I might not know what he said and what's being

270
00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:04,959
Speaker 1: done and if it's the way he wanted it or whatever.

271
00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:08,040
Speaker 1: So it's difficult. OTAs is just a difficult time a

272
00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:09,719
Speaker 1: year for a lot of people. And I think the

273
00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:13,040
Speaker 1: players all want to have that carrot of let me

274
00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:15,120
Speaker 1: get out there do my thing in a real game,

275
00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:16,559
Speaker 1: and they're gonna get it soon enough. In a few

276
00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:18,520
Speaker 1: weeks we'll be in camp. Yeah, no doubt. I think

277
00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:21,600
Speaker 1: when it comes to things that happen in OTAs, I

278
00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:25,559
Speaker 1: think what you want to do is have so many

279
00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:30,120
Speaker 1: reps that practicing your technique, as they say, you know,

280
00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:32,760
Speaker 1: people say practice makes perfect. I heard a coach at

281
00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:35,679
Speaker 1: Oklahoma State baseball coach, longtime baseball coach there, Gary Ward.

282
00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:39,480
Speaker 1: He said, practice makes permanent, So you practice it enough,

283
00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:43,000
Speaker 1: it becomes permanent in whatever you're doing. And I've always

284
00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:45,280
Speaker 1: kind of hung on to that. So it's like practice

285
00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:48,080
Speaker 1: that technique so that when you do get pushed during

286
00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:50,400
Speaker 1: a game, you'll revert to that technique as opposed to

287
00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:54,120
Speaker 1: the bad habit. But that's the thing. OTA's in training camp,

288
00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:55,920
Speaker 1: that's when you work on that, That's when you do

289
00:13:55,960 --> 00:13:59,080
Speaker 1: those things to really lock into your technique, because there's

290
00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:01,560
Speaker 1: gonna come a time Miller standing across from you, and

291
00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:07,079
Speaker 1: then forget the technique, forget everything else. Get him blocked. Yeah,

292
00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:11,480
Speaker 1: catch the ball right, get open. Then it reverts to

293
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:14,520
Speaker 1: those sort of things. But if you have practiced your

294
00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:17,680
Speaker 1: technique enough, it's become permanent that that then becomes a

295
00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:20,920
Speaker 1: weapon in whatever you're trying to do on the football field.

296
00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:25,240
Speaker 1: OTA talk continues. Deshaun Watson is next, so we'll talk

297
00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:28,040
Speaker 1: to him about how he plans to spend a summer vacation. Hint,

298
00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:32,000
Speaker 1: it's not really a vacation. Also, he'll make me look old.

299
00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:34,880
Speaker 1: Not difficult to do, but it's pretty interesting stuff and

300
00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:37,480
Speaker 1: we'll have gut reaction to what he's talking about. It's

301
00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:41,120
Speaker 1: all coming up by Texans Radio. Mini Campus underway, and

302
00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:44,200
Speaker 1: it's more like OTA's extended the way the teams are

303
00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:46,680
Speaker 1: handling it now. Most teams in the NFL, including the

304
00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:49,120
Speaker 1: Houston Texans. They were out at the practice bubble today

305
00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:52,080
Speaker 1: at the Houston Methodist Trading Center and they'll have another

306
00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:55,080
Speaker 1: day tomorrow. We'll take it from there. Johnny and I

307
00:14:55,200 --> 00:14:59,400
Speaker 1: here the Hyunday Texans Radio studio and Deshaun Watson our

308
00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:02,800
Speaker 1: guest day. We begin by asking the quarterback about the

309
00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:05,520
Speaker 1: break between many camp and training camp and how he

310
00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:08,120
Speaker 1: might spend his time. For me, it's just really just

311
00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:10,760
Speaker 1: kind of trying to keep the same routine, trying to

312
00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:13,000
Speaker 1: have a way where I come in, work out, watch

313
00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:15,680
Speaker 1: some film, going the field, do a little field work,

314
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:17,640
Speaker 1: and then kind of just rest up for the rest

315
00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:19,960
Speaker 1: of the day and do these things. But whenever I

316
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:21,960
Speaker 1: need to, you know, have fun, have fun, but also

317
00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:24,360
Speaker 1: make sure him getting the amount of rest that I can.

318
00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:26,680
Speaker 1: Just make sure that I'm feeling good each and every day. Okay,

319
00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:29,320
Speaker 1: if you're here on July fourth or a holiday like

320
00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:30,960
Speaker 1: you were that one time when I was here all

321
00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:32,880
Speaker 1: alone and you're working in the weight room, I'm just

322
00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:34,720
Speaker 1: gonna take you home with that, like the jot here

323
00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:38,360
Speaker 1: and get your break. Sean, this offseason a little different

324
00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:40,720
Speaker 1: than last year because you could do certain things last year.

325
00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:43,360
Speaker 1: This year you can do the full the full thing

326
00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:46,200
Speaker 1: you can do team, you can do everything. How comfortable

327
00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:49,920
Speaker 1: are you in the offense, the verbiage, getting out in

328
00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:51,880
Speaker 1: the huddle, all those kind of things. How comfortable are

329
00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:54,240
Speaker 1: you feeling out three years into it. I'm very comfortable.

330
00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:58,200
Speaker 1: It's a it's a new level of confidence and being

331
00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:00,920
Speaker 1: able to go out there and operate and um, they

332
00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:03,160
Speaker 1: can see it and they can uh tell whenever I'm

333
00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:05,640
Speaker 1: out there operating and everything looks smooth and being able

334
00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:09,200
Speaker 1: to shift motion and play call change plays. Uh see

335
00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:12,200
Speaker 1: the defense made the right mind point. So, UM, this

336
00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:14,560
Speaker 1: is very encouraging and I'm continuing to get better each

337
00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:16,920
Speaker 1: and every day. It is practice fun. It looks like

338
00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:18,840
Speaker 1: sometimes you're having a good time out there. You have

339
00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:21,680
Speaker 1: to target practice with a j. Looks like you guys

340
00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:23,880
Speaker 1: have a little friendly competition going there. All that makes

341
00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:26,840
Speaker 1: you better. But how do you enjoy practice? Um, it's

342
00:16:26,840 --> 00:16:29,280
Speaker 1: the beauty. I mean, not too many people get get

343
00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:31,800
Speaker 1: the opportunity to, you know, go out there and just

344
00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:33,760
Speaker 1: try to find ways to get better. And I feel

345
00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:35,720
Speaker 1: like I just tell myself each and every day that

346
00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:37,600
Speaker 1: you know, I want to be better than and then

347
00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:41,120
Speaker 1: you know I was yesterday and whatever it takes, and

348
00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:44,040
Speaker 1: go out there and compete and just throw the football around.

349
00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:46,960
Speaker 1: Uh with the with the boys is awesome. Do you

350
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:49,800
Speaker 1: have a little Alabama Clemson thing going on? Is that

351
00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:52,520
Speaker 1: I haven't really kicked in I don't think it will though,

352
00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:55,320
Speaker 1: the way we've been, you know, moving around and operating,

353
00:16:55,400 --> 00:16:57,320
Speaker 1: because there's only so much I can say. He got

354
00:16:57,360 --> 00:17:01,000
Speaker 1: him in national championship, I got me one, So uh yeah,

355
00:17:02,080 --> 00:17:04,800
Speaker 1: he'd probably tell you he'd have too. But then again,

356
00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:10,879
Speaker 1: I think maybe it was Mark that said this that

357
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:14,880
Speaker 1: our quarterback room has more college football national championships accounting

358
00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:17,040
Speaker 1: for than maybe any other NFL team. I think that's

359
00:17:17,080 --> 00:17:19,560
Speaker 1: gotta be got. I don't think there's there's anywhere you

360
00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:23,040
Speaker 1: can put that. Sean this offseason. You didn't have DeAndre,

361
00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:26,359
Speaker 1: you didn't have Will, so you were forced to because

362
00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:28,399
Speaker 1: you didn't have them, to create synergy with guys that

363
00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:29,959
Speaker 1: you've been on the field with. You've been out there

364
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:31,760
Speaker 1: with Vin, you've been out there with Kiki, but not

365
00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:34,600
Speaker 1: as much as you have the other two. How how

366
00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:37,120
Speaker 1: important was it to create some synergy with those guys

367
00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:38,840
Speaker 1: and how did you feel that came along at Chemistry

368
00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:41,000
Speaker 1: came along with those two in particular, But the receiving

369
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:43,080
Speaker 1: corps that you're not really used to throw into came

370
00:17:43,119 --> 00:17:45,840
Speaker 1: out great, Ashley um better than than I think we

371
00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:48,760
Speaker 1: all expect it. And really it was nothing that we

372
00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:50,840
Speaker 1: kind of focused on it just hey, this is how

373
00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:53,600
Speaker 1: I go and um, you know we gotta step up.

374
00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:56,560
Speaker 1: And those guys knew that they had our perfect opportunity

375
00:17:56,600 --> 00:17:58,639
Speaker 1: to show what the coaches show the coaches that they

376
00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:00,960
Speaker 1: can trust and now, um go out them a plays

377
00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:03,159
Speaker 1: and know what's going on. And so each one of

378
00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:05,959
Speaker 1: those guys, even the rookies, came in and you know,

379
00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:07,960
Speaker 1: make sure that everything that we wanted to do that

380
00:18:08,040 --> 00:18:11,600
Speaker 1: day is ran perfect. Sean, when you interact with the rookies,

381
00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:13,280
Speaker 1: it was just a couple of years ago you were

382
00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:15,800
Speaker 1: a rookie. So being the leader, now what do you

383
00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:18,520
Speaker 1: tell them? What is that like working with rookie receivers

384
00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:21,879
Speaker 1: or rookies of any kind, linemen whatever, who are just

385
00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:24,119
Speaker 1: getting their first taste of the NFL out there on

386
00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:27,239
Speaker 1: the practice field, really just make them feel comfortable, um,

387
00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:30,280
Speaker 1: and know that you know, I'm here to to really

388
00:18:30,560 --> 00:18:33,119
Speaker 1: you know, bring you alone and and really show you

389
00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:34,800
Speaker 1: the ropes and and just be able to go out

390
00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:37,560
Speaker 1: there and play loose and play fun. And m I

391
00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:40,399
Speaker 1: think you know, especially in this offense and this league,

392
00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:43,320
Speaker 1: you know, rookies continually tightened up a little bit. But

393
00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:45,080
Speaker 1: if you just go out there and continue to do

394
00:18:45,119 --> 00:18:47,800
Speaker 1: what you did you know years before. But uh, you know,

395
00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:49,600
Speaker 1: make sure that you're focused on your craft and watch

396
00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:51,880
Speaker 1: the older guys. You'd be just fun. Sean a week

397
00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:54,080
Speaker 1: or two ago, you got a chance to have Michael

398
00:18:54,119 --> 00:18:56,920
Speaker 1: Vick here and being from that part of the world

399
00:18:56,960 --> 00:18:59,400
Speaker 1: watching him when he was a Falcon Ay, were you

400
00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:01,480
Speaker 1: of a vig fan growing up than you were a

401
00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:03,960
Speaker 1: Falcon fan or were you? Were you both? What? What

402
00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:06,879
Speaker 1: were you growing up? And what did he mean to you? Uh?

403
00:19:07,119 --> 00:19:10,439
Speaker 1: Probably more vig fan than Falcon fan, but uh it

404
00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:14,640
Speaker 1: was very close. Um, I always up Atlanta and Georgia. Um,

405
00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:17,840
Speaker 1: but it was um, it was, it was. It was awesome.

406
00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:20,480
Speaker 1: He just kind of encouraged me to, uh, you know,

407
00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:23,119
Speaker 1: play this position half sway. I have confidence, you know,

408
00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:25,640
Speaker 1: be my own self and and really just go out

409
00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:27,840
Speaker 1: there and just have fun. You know, anytime I have

410
00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:29,480
Speaker 1: the battle my hands that I can make you play

411
00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:32,520
Speaker 1: and be affect with it. One more note, I'll practice here.

412
00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:35,000
Speaker 1: You guys sometimes play music out there. You don't play it,

413
00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:37,520
Speaker 1: but it's played for you. Do you have input on that?

414
00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:39,760
Speaker 1: Because every once in a while an old song will

415
00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:41,600
Speaker 1: be thrown and I got play something right now? Like

416
00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:47,280
Speaker 1: today today, this was Harry. No, that's not me, right, yeah,

417
00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:52,560
Speaker 1: it's not it's not you. It's hooked a feeling. Yeah.

418
00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:54,760
Speaker 1: So when you hear something like that of practice, are

419
00:19:54,800 --> 00:19:56,960
Speaker 1: you thinking, well, wait a minute, we gotta have more

420
00:19:57,000 --> 00:19:59,720
Speaker 1: power over the playlist or how do you think we

421
00:19:59,840 --> 00:20:02,000
Speaker 1: use too? But I'm not shoemate the playlist this year.

422
00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:04,920
Speaker 1: I definitely during the season, I definitely have a lot

423
00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:08,639
Speaker 1: to say so um and and the music and in

424
00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:11,440
Speaker 1: the weight room I do too, but uh not at

425
00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:13,399
Speaker 1: the private field right now. Now when you're going to

426
00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:16,240
Speaker 1: the game, are you listening to the same thing almost

427
00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:18,040
Speaker 1: every time? Or do you mix it up? How do

428
00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:19,639
Speaker 1: you have that freak up? I have a lot of

429
00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:23,119
Speaker 1: different I guess, different artists that I listened to, but

430
00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:25,560
Speaker 1: it's almost pretty much the same each every week. Or

431
00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:27,560
Speaker 1: that's something new? Come up? What's the oldest thing you

432
00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:30,679
Speaker 1: got that I might know? Oh, you got to go

433
00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:35,720
Speaker 1: back as your best old schools, your best old school

434
00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:40,840
Speaker 1: I would go with something like something with Guccia Main. Okay,

435
00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:48,600
Speaker 1: yeah that's right, that's my wheelhouse. All right? What about

436
00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:51,080
Speaker 1: what about TV? Do you watch the TV shows already?

437
00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:53,520
Speaker 1: I mean you Mutch the only shows I've really watched

438
00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:57,240
Speaker 1: is like Fresh Prince Martin. Okay, there we go. Okay,

439
00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:01,560
Speaker 1: see what school those shows? The new shows I'm not

440
00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:03,840
Speaker 1: really a fan of. Okay, I can't really get into it.

441
00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:07,480
Speaker 1: But I love this. Okay, Okay, that's what That's what

442
00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:10,120
Speaker 1: we need that that that's at least in our little

443
00:21:10,160 --> 00:21:13,000
Speaker 1: bit like Gucci man, we were like married with kids

444
00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:15,000
Speaker 1: when that came out. Like to you, that's old school,

445
00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:18,440
Speaker 1: but the rest of us, But uh, is there? I

446
00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:20,359
Speaker 1: always think of artists because we see you at Rockets

447
00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:23,000
Speaker 1: games and you're you're actually Travis Scotter. Is there somebody

448
00:21:23,040 --> 00:21:26,680
Speaker 1: that you'd like to meet that you haven't met over

449

450
00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:30,800
Speaker 1: Is just somebody that you want to meet? An artist

451
00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:34,720
Speaker 1: or just anybody? Is there anybody that you'd like to

452
00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:39,080
Speaker 1: meet I haven't met. I listened to a lot of

453
00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:44,440
Speaker 1: future Yeah. Um, I think those are the only two

454
00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:46,640
Speaker 1: guys that I haven't met. I met pretty much all

455
00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:49,199
Speaker 1: the other guys. What are they what's their reaction when

456
00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:51,600
Speaker 1: they meet you? That's pretty cool? You know, they say

457
00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:53,760
Speaker 1: what's up? And you know, I ask about football and yeah,

458
00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:55,320
Speaker 1: where I'm from? And a lot of people, you know,

459
00:21:55,359 --> 00:21:57,959
Speaker 1: figure out that I'm from Atlanta. A lot of rappers

460
00:21:58,080 --> 00:22:01,480
Speaker 1: or artists from Atlanta, so we kind of have that connection. Yeah,

461
00:22:01,480 --> 00:22:03,800
Speaker 1: what's that connection life? Because a good number of them

462
00:22:03,840 --> 00:22:06,280
Speaker 1: come from that that part of the country, Dirty South, etc.

463
00:22:07,119 --> 00:22:10,240
Speaker 1: That you sort of represent Atlanta to them as well.

464
00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:12,919
Speaker 1: What's that kind of that interaction like because of that

465
00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:15,280
Speaker 1: because you do represent their area the country as well.

466
00:22:15,640 --> 00:22:17,639
Speaker 1: That's pretty cool. You can relate, you know, to a

467
00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:20,639
Speaker 1: lot of different things and talk about I guess, different

468
00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:23,440
Speaker 1: different venues that we can go to and hang out

469
00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:26,720
Speaker 1: and and kick it. If you weren't a football player

470
00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:28,919
Speaker 1: and had to play another sport, and I could grant

471
00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:30,840
Speaker 1: you the ability to play whatever sport, and I'm sure

472
00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:33,199
Speaker 1: you have that ability anyway, But what would it be?

473
00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:35,520
Speaker 1: Would it be NBA? Would it be MLB? Would it

474
00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:38,840
Speaker 1: be something else? If I like the real life or

475
00:22:39,240 --> 00:22:41,600
Speaker 1: me just thinking just thinking about it, dreaming about it,

476
00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:44,119
Speaker 1: dreaming about I will probably play if I if I

477
00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:47,240
Speaker 1: can go straight to the major leagues, I would definitely

478
00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:49,240
Speaker 1: play baseball. Oh really, and again I would like to

479
00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:52,359
Speaker 1: go overseas and play soccer. I play like for Spain

480
00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:54,840
Speaker 1: or something like that. That's a big time stuff over there.

481
00:22:55,200 --> 00:22:58,320
Speaker 1: How much is the traveling overseas kind of made you

482
00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:01,080
Speaker 1: want to do more of it? I mean I've barely

483
00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:03,480
Speaker 1: have ever gone overseas, but how much for you have

484
00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:06,280
Speaker 1: you been able to enjoy going over to London and

485
00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:08,159
Speaker 1: a number of places that you've been. I love it.

486
00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:10,240
Speaker 1: I mean I enjoy it. They made those people over

487
00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:13,440
Speaker 1: there made me feel comfortable. I love the history and

488
00:23:13,760 --> 00:23:17,399
Speaker 1: just being able to experience new culture. But also you know,

489
00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:20,320
Speaker 1: they have a lot of football and either soccer facilities,

490
00:23:20,359 --> 00:23:23,119
Speaker 1: the football facilities that I can train at. So whenever

491
00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:26,399
Speaker 1: I'm traveling, I trained to my training to travel with me. Deshaun,

514
00:24:27,400 --> 00:24:29,600
Speaker 1: of the all time greats. That was awesome. Okay. I

515
00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:32,720
Speaker 1: don't know what I was expecting, because once upon a

516
00:24:32,840 --> 00:24:36,800
Speaker 1: time I texted this to dep as a joke. I

517
00:24:36,880 --> 00:24:40,080
Speaker 1: was listening to. I forget what it was on Sirius X.

518
00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:43,479
Speaker 1: Maybe it's the nineties channel. It was in the Club, No, no,

519
00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:47,159
Speaker 1: the club was another time. Yeah, because in the club

520
00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:50,280
Speaker 1: I had heard the song before, but I didn't know

521
00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:52,680
Speaker 1: it was in the club, so I saw the readout,

522
00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:56,000
Speaker 1: I said, in Duck Club, and I'll never live that down.

523
00:24:56,720 --> 00:24:59,480
Speaker 1: I heard Coolio once and it was I think it

524
00:24:59,560 --> 00:25:02,040
Speaker 1: was fantas Aastic Voyage was the song. I really liked

525
00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:05,479
Speaker 1: the song Paradise, well, Gangs Paradise is this big hit,

526
00:25:05,880 --> 00:25:09,119
Speaker 1: but but I never heard Fantastic Voyage before, which, by

527
00:25:09,160 --> 00:25:11,240
Speaker 1: the way, is an old movie sci fi from the

528
00:25:11,359 --> 00:25:14,520
Speaker 1: seventies or sixties that certain old school people would remember

529
00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:17,040
Speaker 1: right now, dating myself again dated reference sort of, but

530
00:25:17,080 --> 00:25:19,840
Speaker 1: it was just for historical purposes. Anyway. I thought he

531
00:25:19,920 --> 00:25:22,880
Speaker 1: might go Coolio or might go I don't know where

532
00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:25,680
Speaker 1: he was gonna go, but Gucci Maine. I mean, the

00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:26,480
Speaker 1: The Fresh Prince when I was in When I was

554
00:26:26,520 --> 00:26:30,000
Speaker 1: in college, they used to have the Um. It was

555
00:26:30,080 --> 00:26:33,480
Speaker 1: fantastic because late, late, late at night on one of

556
00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:37,159
Speaker 1: the Rhode Island stations, usually over the weekend, but I

557
00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:38,560
Speaker 1: want to say it was during the week two they

558
00:26:38,560 --> 00:26:43,360
Speaker 1: would play facts of life, different strokes like eighties TV shows. Yeah,

559
00:26:43,400 --> 00:26:45,320
Speaker 1: and then you could get you could get your night.

560
00:26:45,400 --> 00:26:47,159
Speaker 1: You could get the Fresh Prince, which was going on

561
00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:49,600
Speaker 1: while while I was in college. It was it was fantastic.

562
00:26:49,640 --> 00:26:52,800
Speaker 1: When he said that, we both cheered. We're like, yeah,

563
00:26:52,840 --> 00:26:57,600
Speaker 1: Martin okay. Uh D mentioned the Fresh Prince thing the DP.

564
00:26:57,840 --> 00:27:00,360
Speaker 1: She said, all the players love Fresh Prints. They them

565
00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:03,800
Speaker 1: it's so good Smith, It's a good show. And to them,

566
00:27:03,840 --> 00:27:07,720
Speaker 1: that's like, what is that like for my generation? I

567
00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:10,760
Speaker 1: think for because that's an old show that was not

568
00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:13,320
Speaker 1: on when they were young. It really wasn't. I mean,

569
00:27:13,359 --> 00:27:16,200
Speaker 1: they're not to some of the listeners. Fresh Prince really,

570
00:27:16,240 --> 00:27:19,080
Speaker 1: you know, think about it. Fresh Prince was what early nineties,

571
00:27:19,240 --> 00:27:23,800
Speaker 1: late eighties. That is old stuff to these guys. Yeah,

572
00:27:23,800 --> 00:27:26,400
Speaker 1: because that was his that was his resurrection, if you will,

573
00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:30,199
Speaker 1: because he had he it was DJ Jesse, Jefferd Fresh Prince.

574
00:27:30,760 --> 00:27:33,760
Speaker 1: And then the money from the albums ran out, and

575
00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:35,480
Speaker 1: I've heard tell the story. The money from the albums

576
00:27:35,520 --> 00:27:37,760
Speaker 1: ran out. He was virtually broke, and he gets this

577
00:27:37,800 --> 00:27:41,800
Speaker 1: opportunity to meet with Quincy Jones about the show Fresh

578
00:27:41,800 --> 00:27:45,720
Speaker 1: Prince of bel Air and it stuck. He tells, he

579
00:27:45,720 --> 00:27:48,280
Speaker 1: tells about a story, but it was it was early

580
00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:52,200
Speaker 1: It was early nineties ninety two, about around that time frame.

581
00:27:52,240 --> 00:27:55,479
Speaker 1: All right. So to my generation, it's like the Gilligan's Island.

582
00:27:55,520 --> 00:27:58,720
Speaker 1: I dream of Genie Adams family, the Blusters, that kind

583
00:27:58,800 --> 00:28:02,240
Speaker 1: of stuff. Yeah, it's when you talk about the years

584
00:28:02,359 --> 00:28:05,080
Speaker 1: versus the years. I guess I'm really getting myself now. Anyway,

585
00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:07,840
Speaker 1: here's a good here's a good one for you. My

586
00:28:08,040 --> 00:28:12,680
Speaker 1: kids love Friends. Friends. Now. My wife and I watched

587
00:28:12,680 --> 00:28:14,760
Speaker 1: every episode of Friends from the beginning all the way. Yeah,

588
00:28:14,760 --> 00:28:19,400
Speaker 1: you watched every episode. My kids love it. Sometimes holds up. Well, yeah,

589
00:28:19,440 --> 00:28:21,679
Speaker 1: sometimes we just will be in the house and we

590
00:28:21,680 --> 00:28:24,720
Speaker 1: won't really know what's what's on, and they'll they'll want to, Hey,

591
00:28:24,880 --> 00:28:26,680
Speaker 1: let's just watch episodes of Friends. And it doesn't matter

592
00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:29,520
Speaker 1: which season. They just want to watch episodes. For some reason,

593
00:28:29,600 --> 00:28:32,080
Speaker 1: of sports shows don't hold up. Well, White Shadow didn't

594
00:28:32,080 --> 00:28:35,320
Speaker 1: hold up, Coach doesn't hold up. Some of these sports

595
00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:39,800
Speaker 1: themed programs don't hold up. I don't know why. Part

596
00:28:39,800 --> 00:28:44,320
Speaker 1: of it is, part of it is I think that, Well, now,

597
00:28:44,400 --> 00:28:46,560
Speaker 1: I'm sort of a snob when it comes to my

598
00:28:46,640 --> 00:28:49,840
Speaker 1: sports movies. Like I can take The Fresh Prince, like

599
00:28:49,880 --> 00:28:51,760
Speaker 1: when they played on the basketball court and the Fresh

600
00:28:51,800 --> 00:28:53,680
Speaker 1: Prince it was like a third the size of a

601
00:28:53,720 --> 00:28:57,360
Speaker 1: real basketball court. I can look past that in Fresh Prince.

602
00:28:57,480 --> 00:29:01,360
Speaker 1: But if your show is a sports driven show, then

603
00:29:01,600 --> 00:29:04,800
Speaker 1: like for example, White Shadow, basketball better be pretty darn good.

604
00:29:05,080 --> 00:29:07,800
Speaker 1: But the thing is, if it's good, it gets dated,

605
00:29:07,920 --> 00:29:13,200
Speaker 1: like watching nineteen seventies basketball, watching watching basketball now there's

606
00:29:13,240 --> 00:29:16,440
Speaker 1: no three point line. Yeah, it's just it's Coolidge. Was

607
00:29:16,480 --> 00:29:19,600
Speaker 1: he a big man? Yeah? Coolidge. Coolidge is awesome. SALAMMI

608
00:29:20,160 --> 00:29:23,640
Speaker 1: Coolidge Salami. It was tremendous. I mean it was a

609
00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:28,680
Speaker 1: tremendous right now, wanting in on this conversation so bad.

610
00:29:28,840 --> 00:29:30,560
Speaker 1: I can't even tell you how much. Because I did

611
00:29:30,560 --> 00:29:32,760
Speaker 1: a show with Shawnee for a long time. I know exactly,

612
00:29:32,800 --> 00:29:36,000
Speaker 1: Like we're putting it on a tea right now for Sean,

613
00:29:36,120 --> 00:29:38,640
Speaker 1: He's like, I want we're getting texts. I know, I

614
00:29:38,760 --> 00:29:41,720
Speaker 1: know we're getting text but yeah, that I mean, thinking

615
00:29:41,720 --> 00:29:44,360
Speaker 1: about it, that was Yeah, that was right when the

616
00:29:44,400 --> 00:29:46,560
Speaker 1: Shawn was growing up. But just going back and watching

617
00:29:46,560 --> 00:29:50,480
Speaker 1: those readers and that's the thing. Sometimes the fashion comes back,

618
00:29:51,680 --> 00:29:55,960
Speaker 1: But early nineties fashion was sort of did Will Smith

619
00:29:56,000 --> 00:30:01,960
Speaker 1: had the flaptop and Fresh Prince Andre during the Highsman run? Yes, okay,

620
00:30:02,080 --> 00:30:05,080
Speaker 1: got it. No, that's that's a real thing. That's a

621
00:30:05,200 --> 00:30:08,560
Speaker 1: real thing every photos. What I think of flattop, I

622
00:30:08,600 --> 00:30:10,200
Speaker 1: think a kidn play. I don't think of it. I

623
00:30:10,200 --> 00:30:14,520
Speaker 1: don't think play is very exaggerated. That's like Eraserhead flattop.

624
00:30:14,800 --> 00:30:17,160
Speaker 1: I mean, i'd Ray had the standard he did at

625
00:30:17,200 --> 00:30:19,520
Speaker 1: this of the day flattop. All right, what else you

626
00:30:19,520 --> 00:30:23,920
Speaker 1: have for gut reaction? Okay, gut reaction? This was from

627
00:30:23,960 --> 00:30:26,480
Speaker 1: Aaron Suttles, who run rights for the Athletic Yeah. He

628
00:30:26,520 --> 00:30:28,520
Speaker 1: also does a radio show. Our good friend Cole Kublic

629
00:30:28,600 --> 00:30:33,800
Speaker 1: down in Birmingham on Jock's down there, great great radio station, Birmingham, Alabama.

630
00:30:33,920 --> 00:30:35,560
Speaker 1: He was on with Fine Bomb and he said this.

631
00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:38,760
Speaker 1: I found this interesting. Get your gut reaction this. Nick

632
00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:43,080
Speaker 1: Saban has never been accused of having fun, but there

633
00:30:43,160 --> 00:30:45,600
Speaker 1: is a sense of changing with the times, and the

634
00:30:45,640 --> 00:30:47,800
Speaker 1: program is trying to do more to show you can

635
00:30:47,840 --> 00:30:51,440
Speaker 1: have fun when you come to Alabama. Your gut reaction

636
00:30:51,880 --> 00:30:54,400
Speaker 1: to Nick Saban's reaction to getting beat by the fun

637
00:30:54,520 --> 00:30:57,440
Speaker 1: school Clemson a national championship. Okay, so I imagine this

638
00:30:57,600 --> 00:31:01,760
Speaker 1: happened after they get beat by Clemson again. Okay, wasn't

639
00:31:01,760 --> 00:31:04,360
Speaker 1: back to back, but it was again. Right now, Saban

640
00:31:04,440 --> 00:31:07,120
Speaker 1: sitting around the conference room with his staff. The entire

641
00:31:07,160 --> 00:31:11,360
Speaker 1: football operations team has been called in and Saban catches

642
00:31:11,360 --> 00:31:17,040
Speaker 1: on that Clemson has fun. Yeah, he puts it out

643
00:31:17,040 --> 00:31:19,800
Speaker 1: there for them. He said, this is a directive. I

644
00:31:19,840 --> 00:31:22,080
Speaker 1: want to know what this fun thing is. Can you

645
00:31:22,120 --> 00:31:24,600
Speaker 1: guys do some research on what they mean by fun?

646
00:31:24,720 --> 00:31:27,480
Speaker 1: I don't I've never heard of this, I've never had

647
00:31:27,560 --> 00:31:30,239
Speaker 1: any I don't even know what election night is. I

648
00:31:30,280 --> 00:31:33,440
Speaker 1: want to know what fun is. So you guys research

649
00:31:33,560 --> 00:31:37,040
Speaker 1: fun and find out how we can integrate fun into

650
00:31:37,080 --> 00:31:42,640
Speaker 1: our program. Let's research and go about this. So that's

651
00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:45,760
Speaker 1: probably how it happened, Johnny, because yeah, clearly Alabama doesn't

652
00:31:45,800 --> 00:31:48,000
Speaker 1: have much fun. But how I feel like the Patriots.

653
00:31:48,160 --> 00:31:51,480
Speaker 1: Remember the who said the Patriots don't have fun? I mean,

654
00:31:51,520 --> 00:31:54,160
Speaker 1: I know a couple of players. Did Brandon Brooks? Did

655
00:31:54,360 --> 00:31:57,240
Speaker 1: Lane Johnson? Did Lane Johnson the tackle for the Eagles?

656
00:31:57,320 --> 00:32:01,440
Speaker 1: He said, okay, he was very vocal about that. Oh

657
00:32:01,480 --> 00:32:03,400
Speaker 1: that's right, because the Eagles won the Super Bowl and

658
00:32:03,440 --> 00:32:05,160
Speaker 1: they have fun. The Patriots don't have fun. And then

659
00:32:05,160 --> 00:32:06,920
Speaker 1: the Patriots turned around and won the Super Bowl the

660
00:32:06,920 --> 00:32:10,000
Speaker 1: next year. I know, So teams have fun, teams don't

661
00:32:10,040 --> 00:32:12,720
Speaker 1: have fun. It's look, it's all it's all the same.

662
00:32:12,760 --> 00:32:16,080
Speaker 1: But I found that quote to be very interesting, like, hey,

663
00:32:16,120 --> 00:32:18,880
Speaker 1: wait a second, what did that team? What was that

664
00:32:18,960 --> 00:32:22,120
Speaker 1: team doing that beat us? Yeah? Can you imagine too,

665
00:32:22,560 --> 00:32:24,400
Speaker 1: Can you imagine sitting around the room and you were

666
00:32:24,400 --> 00:32:27,920
Speaker 1: the guy charged with that responsibility and your quality assistant

667
00:32:27,920 --> 00:32:31,440
Speaker 1: coach and Elston, It's like, okay, what what is it?

668
00:32:31,600 --> 00:32:37,440
Speaker 1: What are they doing? Coach? They're they're having fun. I

669
00:32:37,520 --> 00:32:40,360
Speaker 1: can have fun. I have fun. Watch We'll cut this

670
00:32:40,440 --> 00:32:42,640
Speaker 1: meeting down an hour to night until ten o'clock at night.

671
00:32:42,880 --> 00:32:45,440
Speaker 1: Order me some fun? Yeah exactly? Can I order that

672
00:32:45,480 --> 00:32:49,440
Speaker 1: on Amazon dot com? Some fun? Uh? You cannot? Okay,

673
00:32:49,440 --> 00:32:54,960
Speaker 1: got reaction to this one, Okay. Jalen Ramsey says he

674
00:32:55,000 --> 00:32:58,800
Speaker 1: will not get a contract extension this year from the Jaguars.

675
00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:03,520
Speaker 1: Then he put on Twitter the famous Deon Sanders quote,

676
00:33:03,680 --> 00:33:06,600
Speaker 1: Oh no, I'm gonna ask for so much money they're

677
00:33:06,600 --> 00:33:10,760
Speaker 1: gonna have to put me on the layaway. Your gut reaction, Well,

678
00:33:10,800 --> 00:33:14,320
Speaker 1: I like quoting Dion Sanders, who, by the way, it's

679
00:33:14,320 --> 00:33:16,800
Speaker 1: interesting to me and this goes to show you how

680
00:33:17,480 --> 00:33:22,920
Speaker 1: the young will always be not disrespected, but they'll be

681
00:33:22,960 --> 00:33:27,040
Speaker 1: looked upon as lazy maybe maybe not even not in

682
00:33:27,040 --> 00:33:32,320
Speaker 1: this case lazy, but maybe disrespectful, wild, crazy, out of

683
00:33:32,320 --> 00:33:35,640
Speaker 1: control by the old right. And just like we talk

684
00:33:35,680 --> 00:33:37,640
Speaker 1: about the millennials all the time, well the millennials are

685
00:33:37,640 --> 00:33:39,840
Speaker 1: getting older now, it's really gen z right, But we

686
00:33:39,880 --> 00:33:42,400
Speaker 1: talk about the old will always look at the young

687
00:33:42,520 --> 00:33:45,560
Speaker 1: a certain way. And to hear Dion talk about some

688
00:33:45,600 --> 00:33:47,120
Speaker 1: of the younger players like you got to know better.

689
00:33:47,680 --> 00:33:50,160
Speaker 1: But Deon Sanders was a total rebel when he played

690
00:33:50,960 --> 00:33:55,760
Speaker 1: Rebel Right and he said stuff like that. So it's

691
00:33:55,760 --> 00:33:58,200
Speaker 1: funny to me when players quote him. But Deon is

692
00:33:58,240 --> 00:34:04,000
Speaker 1: one of the more u respected, h more highly looked

693
00:34:04,040 --> 00:34:07,200
Speaker 1: upon former players in this league because they can relate

694
00:34:07,240 --> 00:34:09,279
Speaker 1: to him. It feels like a lot of players can.

695
00:34:09,360 --> 00:34:11,160
Speaker 1: You know he had he was so ahead of his

696
00:34:11,239 --> 00:34:13,480
Speaker 1: time with all the swag and you know the way

697
00:34:13,520 --> 00:34:15,279
Speaker 1: he went about his business. You know a lot of

698
00:34:15,280 --> 00:34:17,040
Speaker 1: people high stepping in the end zone. A lot of

699
00:34:17,080 --> 00:34:18,399
Speaker 1: people at the time were like, what are you doing?

700
00:34:18,760 --> 00:34:21,000
Speaker 1: And there was a no go. And today when you

701
00:34:21,040 --> 00:34:22,759
Speaker 1: see players doing a lot of player a lot of

702
00:34:22,760 --> 00:34:24,640
Speaker 1: people say that, you know, what are you doing? Hi

703
00:34:24,680 --> 00:34:26,440
Speaker 1: steping into the end zone? You're you're drawing too much

704
00:34:26,480 --> 00:34:28,359
Speaker 1: attention to your So, speaking of did you see the

705
00:34:28,400 --> 00:34:31,480
Speaker 1: Dodgers Giants a little little mini bruhaha? The other day

706
00:34:31,520 --> 00:34:33,959
Speaker 1: one of the Dodgers hit a bomb off Madison bum

707
00:34:33,960 --> 00:34:37,160
Speaker 1: Gardener and he was admiring it, and basically bum Gardner

708
00:34:37,239 --> 00:34:40,399
Speaker 1: was like, run the bass, fool, and the guy was like, Hey,

709
00:34:40,440 --> 00:34:41,879
Speaker 1: if you don't like it, go get the ball out

710
00:34:41,920 --> 00:34:44,600
Speaker 1: of the bay. It was it was actually it was

711
00:34:44,640 --> 00:34:46,719
Speaker 1: a It was a good comeback. I appreciate like that one.

712
00:34:46,880 --> 00:34:50,680
Speaker 1: Here's here's a couple of things as it pertains. I

713
00:34:50,840 --> 00:34:53,399
Speaker 1: like hearing this from a Texas standpoint. And here's why

714
00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:56,480
Speaker 1: the Jags are already tied up against the cap. So

715
00:34:56,760 --> 00:34:59,720
Speaker 1: the Jaguars are gonna have to get very financially creative

716
00:34:59,719 --> 00:35:03,560
Speaker 1: to a sign Yannick and Gockway this year because apparently

717
00:35:03,600 --> 00:35:05,680
Speaker 1: he wants contract extension. He's not at mini camp because

718
00:35:05,680 --> 00:35:08,480
Speaker 1: he wants a contract extension this year and be then

719
00:35:08,520 --> 00:35:11,560
Speaker 1: to sign Jason Ramsey. For all the people that are

720
00:35:12,200 --> 00:35:14,160
Speaker 1: have been in Houston and been saying, you go to

721
00:35:14,280 --> 00:35:17,160
Speaker 1: this cap room, what are you doing those cap This

722
00:35:17,360 --> 00:35:20,319
Speaker 1: is how it gets blown up. Very very careful, because

723
00:35:20,520 --> 00:35:22,400
Speaker 1: very year or two you could be in deep trouble

724
00:35:22,440 --> 00:35:26,320
Speaker 1: because the Jaguars back in twenty sixteen had oodles of

725
00:35:26,520 --> 00:35:29,040
Speaker 1: cap space used. It had a great run, but it

726
00:35:29,280 --> 00:35:31,479
Speaker 1: was one year, right, you know. One of the local

727
00:35:31,600 --> 00:35:33,919
Speaker 1: columnists talked about, yeah, in the Jags, we're a quarter

728
00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:36,160
Speaker 1: away from the super Bowl. I'm like, yeah, I know.

729
00:35:36,360 --> 00:35:38,000
Speaker 1: That was great. Good for them, right, you know, I'd

730
00:35:38,040 --> 00:35:39,399
Speaker 1: love to be a quarter away from the super Bowl

731
00:35:39,480 --> 00:35:41,520
Speaker 1: take my shot that way, But I don't want to

732
00:35:41,560 --> 00:35:43,880
Speaker 1: have the follow up year that they had. I mean,

733
00:35:43,920 --> 00:35:46,239
Speaker 1: where are they now? Got big falls? We'll see, but

734
00:35:46,840 --> 00:35:50,239
Speaker 1: it's not happy camping. It appears in mini camp for them.

735
00:35:50,320 --> 00:35:53,120
Speaker 1: But if you're gonna sign Yannick and Dockway and Jalen

736
00:35:53,239 --> 00:35:55,239
Speaker 1: Ramsey over the next couple of years, they're gonna be

737
00:35:55,280 --> 00:35:57,080
Speaker 1: four or five, maybe six guys that are gonna have

738
00:35:57,120 --> 00:36:00,239
Speaker 1: to come off that roster, or two or three big

739
00:36:00,320 --> 00:36:01,840
Speaker 1: name guys that you're gonna have to get rid of.

740
00:36:02,080 --> 00:36:04,279
Speaker 1: Claius Campbell, Is he gonna stick around? I mean, can

741
00:36:04,360 --> 00:36:06,600
Speaker 1: you can you continue to pay him? Marshall Darius, You're

742
00:36:06,640 --> 00:36:10,480
Speaker 1: gonna be him. The point being, when you have cap space,

743
00:36:10,560 --> 00:36:12,799
Speaker 1: if you are not smart with it, it blows up

744
00:36:12,880 --> 00:36:15,440
Speaker 1: in your face, just like this is in Jacksonville, and

745
00:36:15,480 --> 00:36:17,080
Speaker 1: they're not able to take care of the guys the

746
00:36:17,120 --> 00:36:19,160
Speaker 1: way they want right right, I mean, why is de

747
00:36:19,200 --> 00:36:23,439
Speaker 1: Shaan Gibson here for that particular reason? And will will

748
00:36:23,520 --> 00:36:25,879
Speaker 1: hope for great things from him at the safety spot.

749
00:36:25,920 --> 00:36:29,319
Speaker 1: I got a gut reaction for you, Okay, Andrew Luck

750
00:36:29,560 --> 00:36:32,680
Speaker 1: not practicing at mini camp. Now, I'm not gonna sound

751
00:36:32,760 --> 00:36:37,560
Speaker 1: the alarm here, Johnny, but the calf injury, calf strain,

752
00:36:37,719 --> 00:36:40,040
Speaker 1: which is worse than it sounds because you know who

753
00:36:40,080 --> 00:36:42,480
Speaker 1: had a calf strain. Who got an achilles injury last night,

754
00:36:43,080 --> 00:36:45,640
Speaker 1: Kevin Durant. Now, I'm not saying Andrew Luck's gonna get

755
00:36:45,640 --> 00:36:48,600
Speaker 1: an achilles injury, but if there were any thoughts about

756
00:36:48,680 --> 00:36:51,120
Speaker 1: practicing Andrew Luck during mini camp, I'm sure last night

757
00:36:51,160 --> 00:36:53,759
Speaker 1: it was like, you know what, we'll set them down.

758
00:36:55,080 --> 00:36:57,719
Speaker 1: My gut reaction is, man, if that were in training camp,

759
00:36:57,840 --> 00:36:59,680
Speaker 1: I might, I might pay a little bit more attention

760
00:36:59,719 --> 00:37:02,560
Speaker 1: to it. But I think it goes back to look,

761
00:37:02,719 --> 00:37:06,439
Speaker 1: he's only he's only been in Frankreich's offense a year. Yeah,

762
00:37:06,840 --> 00:37:09,600
Speaker 1: so having more time I think would have been helpful.

763
00:37:09,760 --> 00:37:12,560
Speaker 1: But he did Okay, Yeah, I think he's I think

764
00:37:12,600 --> 00:37:15,879
Speaker 1: he's fine. Unfortunately, we're going to see that joker again

765
00:37:15,960 --> 00:37:18,480
Speaker 1: twice this year. Well, the other the other reaction to

766
00:37:18,600 --> 00:37:20,960
Speaker 1: that story is, well, a year ago he was throwing

767
00:37:21,000 --> 00:37:23,240
Speaker 1: a nerf ball or something the high School of football,

768
00:37:23,360 --> 00:37:25,319
Speaker 1: and we are thinking, he's not going to be ready,

769
00:37:25,400 --> 00:37:30,360
Speaker 1: There's no way, because I felt victim of what I

770
00:37:30,480 --> 00:37:33,239
Speaker 1: beg everybody not to feel or fall victim of, which

771
00:37:33,360 --> 00:37:35,760
Speaker 1: is you see something happen in sports and you expect

772
00:37:35,760 --> 00:37:37,920
Speaker 1: it to continue the same way. You just expect, oh,

773
00:37:38,080 --> 00:37:40,440
Speaker 1: this happened once, it's going to continue the same way,

774
00:37:40,960 --> 00:37:43,319
Speaker 1: or this happened a couple of times. And Andrew Luck

775
00:37:43,400 --> 00:37:45,719
Speaker 1: had missed some time, he'd missed some significant time, and

776
00:37:45,760 --> 00:37:47,239
Speaker 1: he just felt like he felt like he was never

777
00:37:47,320 --> 00:37:49,960
Speaker 1: going to come back, or that was a possibility anyway,

778
00:37:50,080 --> 00:37:53,439
Speaker 1: and then he comes back super duper strong. So he's

779
00:37:53,440 --> 00:37:57,080
Speaker 1: out right now. But as you mentioned here, six weeks,

780
00:37:57,120 --> 00:37:59,640
Speaker 1: seven weeks away from camp, he should be okay. We'll

781
00:37:59,640 --> 00:38:01,840
Speaker 1: see what happens, though, you know, we'll be following that

782
00:38:01,960 --> 00:38:05,239
Speaker 1: story with great interest, no doubt. And the Colts, it's

783
00:38:05,280 --> 00:38:08,600
Speaker 1: pretty tough for the Colts. They end up on the

784
00:38:08,760 --> 00:38:12,040
Speaker 1: road at the Chargers, at the Titans the first two

785
00:38:12,080 --> 00:38:14,719
Speaker 1: weeks opening up on the road like we did last year,

786
00:38:15,000 --> 00:38:16,839
Speaker 1: on the road twice they get then they get two

787
00:38:16,880 --> 00:38:18,880
Speaker 1: at home. But still the first two got to go

788
00:38:18,920 --> 00:38:20,920
Speaker 1: on the road to go to La and then to Tennessee.

789
00:38:21,200 --> 00:38:24,000
Speaker 1: It's a tough road. Listen. The teams in the division

790
00:38:24,920 --> 00:38:27,600
Speaker 1: are not. There are no breaks to start the year.

791
00:38:27,680 --> 00:38:29,800
Speaker 1: We start with the Saints, the Colts start with the Chargers,

792
00:38:29,880 --> 00:38:33,880
Speaker 1: the Jags start with the Chiefs. Ooh, and to be

793
00:38:33,920 --> 00:38:36,560
Speaker 1: a rough weekend for the AFC South, and the Titans

794
00:38:36,680 --> 00:38:39,400
Speaker 1: start with the Browns. You know, I hate to go

795
00:38:39,440 --> 00:38:41,480
Speaker 1: to Drew Dorty on you here, but I love Drew Doughty,

796
00:38:41,520 --> 00:38:44,400
Speaker 1: so I will. And you know, when we're having conversations

797
00:38:44,400 --> 00:38:46,920
Speaker 1: about the team and talking about how things are difficult sometimes,

798
00:38:46,960 --> 00:38:48,640
Speaker 1: and oh is this gonna work out? Is that gonna work?

799
00:38:48,680 --> 00:38:50,160
Speaker 1: When you start to feel a little bit of doubt

800
00:38:50,239 --> 00:38:53,520
Speaker 1: creeping in, or maybe not even doubt, but just uncertainty,

801
00:38:54,000 --> 00:38:56,400
Speaker 1: he always reminds us of a certain number, and that

802
00:38:56,440 --> 00:38:59,239
Speaker 1: would be four. And I was reminded of that today.

803
00:38:59,280 --> 00:39:02,640
Speaker 1: I was watching the Texans work out at the practice

804
00:39:02,719 --> 00:39:05,080
Speaker 1: bubble at the Houston Methodist Training Center, and I thought

805
00:39:05,480 --> 00:39:07,560
Speaker 1: you know what, New Orleans is gonna be a tough opener.

806
00:39:07,880 --> 00:39:09,960
Speaker 1: But guess what you get to bring to Sean Watson

807
00:39:10,040 --> 00:39:11,920
Speaker 1: with you to that fight. Yes, and I'll take my

808
00:39:12,080 --> 00:39:15,240
Speaker 1: chances along with everybody else. But to have a quarterback

809
00:39:15,320 --> 00:39:17,239
Speaker 1: like that, I'm watching him operate out there, and I'm thinking,

810
00:39:17,719 --> 00:39:20,960
Speaker 1: that's our guy. He's fun to watch in practice, never

811
00:39:21,080 --> 00:39:24,560
Speaker 1: minding games. This is gonna be good. So let's get

812
00:39:24,640 --> 00:39:28,359
Speaker 1: them ready and take our shot in the super Dome

813
00:39:28,440 --> 00:39:31,000
Speaker 1: on Monday night. And he likes fresh Prince of Bill Air.

814
00:39:31,320 --> 00:39:33,600
Speaker 1: And there's that too. You get any other gut reaction

815
00:39:33,680 --> 00:39:37,520
Speaker 1: for me, and that's good, all right. We were talking

816
00:39:37,560 --> 00:39:40,040
Speaker 1: a little bit about the Patriots, and I hinted on

817
00:39:40,120 --> 00:39:42,000
Speaker 1: this last night, so just a couple of minutes left

818
00:39:42,080 --> 00:39:45,400
Speaker 1: here a thought on this. I said, you're dealing with

819
00:39:45,480 --> 00:39:48,399
Speaker 1: the Golden State Warriors in the AFC. You really are.

820
00:39:48,920 --> 00:39:51,560
Speaker 1: You know, this is this is something that everybody in

821
00:39:51,560 --> 00:39:54,640
Speaker 1: the AFC has had to deal with them and the

822
00:39:54,840 --> 00:39:58,680
Speaker 1: way they're operating. However, you wanted to find how they

823
00:39:58,840 --> 00:40:02,080
Speaker 1: do it because everybody's got theories. I mean, the basic

824
00:40:02,200 --> 00:40:05,080
Speaker 1: thing is Belichick's the greatest coach ever, and Brady's the

825
00:40:05,120 --> 00:40:07,560
Speaker 1: best quarterback ever. And by the way, they have a

826
00:40:07,600 --> 00:40:11,960
Speaker 1: great system. And having said that, look at how close

827
00:40:12,120 --> 00:40:15,239
Speaker 1: these things are. Look at how close they've won their

828
00:40:15,320 --> 00:40:19,160
Speaker 1: super bowls. Look at Malcolm Butler. Look at thirteen points

829
00:40:19,320 --> 00:40:22,200
Speaker 1: wins you a super Bowl against the high octane offense

830
00:40:22,320 --> 00:40:25,160
Speaker 1: like the Rams. There's a fine line in this league.

831
00:40:25,480 --> 00:40:28,719
Speaker 1: And it's the old coaching cliche, the stuff they give

832
00:40:28,760 --> 00:40:31,400
Speaker 1: your guys in the offseason. You're working out here, you

833
00:40:31,480 --> 00:40:33,719
Speaker 1: feel you're tired. This is in the offseason, you feel

834
00:40:33,719 --> 00:40:36,480
Speaker 1: you're tired. How are they feeling in Jacksonville. I'm making

835
00:40:36,520 --> 00:40:37,960
Speaker 1: this up. I don't hear the coaches saying this, but

836
00:40:38,000 --> 00:40:40,239
Speaker 1: I imagine they're saying something like this. What are they

837
00:40:40,320 --> 00:40:42,080
Speaker 1: doing in Tennessee right now? What are they doing in

838
00:40:42,120 --> 00:40:44,120
Speaker 1: Indianapolis right now? To get ready? You gotta do more,

839
00:40:44,239 --> 00:40:47,120
Speaker 1: you gotta do better, or whatever it is. And that

840
00:40:47,480 --> 00:40:51,439
Speaker 1: work goes into crossing those fine lines during the course

841
00:40:51,480 --> 00:40:54,919
Speaker 1: of the regular season into the postseason. So that work

842
00:40:55,120 --> 00:40:57,719
Speaker 1: is taking place right now. It's just fascinating to me

843
00:40:57,840 --> 00:41:01,520
Speaker 1: how much goes into this process. It really is, like

844
00:41:01,680 --> 00:41:05,040
Speaker 1: Pachito says, in any given Sunday, the inches are everywhere.

845
00:41:05,480 --> 00:41:08,160
Speaker 1: That they're trying to find and get an edge on two.

846
00:41:08,560 --> 00:41:12,799
Speaker 1: Since twenty thirteen in the NFC one, two, three, four five,

847
00:41:13,000 --> 00:41:14,800
Speaker 1: only one time did the same team go to the

848
00:41:14,840 --> 00:41:23,320
Speaker 1: Super Bowl Seattle, Seattle. In the AFC, it's been Bronchos, Patriots, Bronchos, Patriots, Patriots, Patriots, Patriots.

849
00:41:24,480 --> 00:41:27,319
Speaker 1: It's an annual tradition. But the NFC has had five

850
00:41:27,400 --> 00:41:29,759
Speaker 1: different teams over six years. Yeah, and then if you

851
00:41:29,840 --> 00:41:32,800
Speaker 1: go further beyond the Seahawks, two years you had the Niners,

852
00:41:32,880 --> 00:41:37,560
Speaker 1: the Giants, the Packers, the Saints, the Cardinals, all different teams.

853
00:41:37,600 --> 00:41:46,040
Speaker 1: You've had how many from the NFC one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven,

854
00:41:46,160 --> 00:41:52,080
Speaker 1: eleven different teams? Crazy over the AFC. Two. Johnny, thanks

855
00:41:52,120 --> 00:41:53,560
Speaker 1: a lot, and you gotta Mark, thank you. That's gonna

856
00:41:53,600 --> 00:41:56,280
Speaker 1: do it for tonight. We'll be back tomorrow six o'clock,

857
00:41:56,680 --> 00:41:59,160
Speaker 1: Day two of many Camp. Will have all the activity

858
00:41:59,239 --> 00:42:00,920
Speaker 1: for you here on the program. Have a great night,

859
00:42:00,960 --> 00:42:02,200
Speaker 1: everyone can go Texans,
