00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:44,159
Speaker 1: You know, he he saw the seals and there's a

16
00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:46,159
Speaker 1: medical emergency there down in San Diego. I know he

17
00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:49,080
Speaker 1: started I think in the Wine Country. So yeah, yeah,

18
00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:50,720
Speaker 1: I think it started up in in the Wine Country.

19
00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:52,600
Speaker 1: It was funny because I he and I were texting

20
00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:57,760
Speaker 1: back and forth about about his wedding because he had

21
00:00:57,760 --> 00:00:59,920
Speaker 1: asked me, like, you're gonna go. It's like, oh, absolutely absolutely.

22
00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:02,760
Speaker 1: And then my daughter had this festival in which her

23
00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:04,560
Speaker 1: movie was up for awards. She was up on awards.

24
00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:05,720
Speaker 1: We had to go to Dallas. That was a couple

25
00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:07,480
Speaker 1: weekends ago, and so I wasn't able to go. So

26
00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:10,040
Speaker 1: we were kind of trading texts and I was telling

27
00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:13,320
Speaker 1: him that and I hated not being there, and he said, oh, man,

28
00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:17,200
Speaker 1: I totally understand. He goes honeymoon is probably gonna cancel anyways,

29
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:19,360
Speaker 1: you know, coronavirus thing is hit in Italy. I don't

30
00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:23,479
Speaker 1: know what we're doing, nice little save. He mentioned something

31
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:25,160
Speaker 1: about going to the Nugget and Louisiana. He was like,

32
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:28,160
Speaker 1: you know, Amy, and now do that, which they do

33
00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:30,119
Speaker 1: that a lot. This is something different. This is something

34
00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:33,440
Speaker 1: little different. So he's he's having sabits fun. But he

35
00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:35,640
Speaker 1: is out on his honeymoon. Seth was out last week,

36
00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:37,640
Speaker 1: so he was back today and so that was kind

37
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:39,160
Speaker 1: of fun jumping in the studio with him. So I

38
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:42,399
Speaker 1: appreciate those guys, but we will have you going for

39
00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:45,920
Speaker 1: Texans All Access tonight. Titans. Amy is gonna join us

40
00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:51,600
Speaker 1: later in the show she joined dep City in Indianapolis.

41
00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:54,720
Speaker 1: Talk about the Titans, what they've got going on, what

42
00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:57,440
Speaker 1: they're looking forward to. Obviously they've got to make decisions

43
00:01:57,440 --> 00:02:00,520
Speaker 1: on Ryan Tannehill and Derek Henry and Jack Conklin. That's

44
00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:03,000
Speaker 1: a big one. Nobody's really talked about, is Jack Conklin right,

45
00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:05,760
Speaker 1: more than likely not going back to Tennessee. Those are

46
00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:09,880
Speaker 1: three huge cogs. I think they'll somehow bring two back.

47
00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:11,560
Speaker 1: I think if I don't know, man, I don't know,

48
00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:13,440
Speaker 1: I would say, if you're smart, you'd bring back this guy,

49
00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:15,600
Speaker 1: this guy, this guy. But I know it's hard to

50
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:17,200
Speaker 1: pick between those three. I think all of them are

51
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:19,440
Speaker 1: very important. I think some people say, well, you got

52
00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:21,600
Speaker 1: your left tackle, Tara Luan, but I think we've seen

53
00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:25,119
Speaker 1: Drew and when you don't have Yeah, right, matters were

54
00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:27,600
Speaker 1: You and I were doing a thing today and it's

55
00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:29,120
Speaker 1: gonna come out over the course of the next few

56
00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:31,920
Speaker 1: months of film room. Yeah, but your point. Now, we're

57
00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:34,600
Speaker 1: breaking down a play and it was the touchdown by

58
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:39,120
Speaker 1: Kenny Stills to start the season off in New Orleans,

59
00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:41,240
Speaker 1: and you were pointing out Sean Charle Henderson the right

60
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:46,520
Speaker 1: tackle and Sunil Killamette. I mean that week one offensive line,

61
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:48,440
Speaker 1: even though you had tons of even in there, and

62
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:51,160
Speaker 1: you had Nick Martin in there, you had a lot

63
00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:53,400
Speaker 1: of different faces. You have two rookies in there. You

64
00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:55,320
Speaker 1: didn't have the two rookies in there, and Zack Fulton

65
00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:57,600
Speaker 1: was he did play. But yeah, there are a lot

66
00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:00,640
Speaker 1: of different different faces. So it's gonna be interesting to

67
00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:04,160
Speaker 1: see what faces remain here on the offensive line, because

68
00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:05,639
Speaker 1: I think there will there might be a new one,

69
00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:08,400
Speaker 1: so we'll see. Yeah, it's gonna be over the next

70
00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:12,440
Speaker 1: week as we start moving towards the end of the

71
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:15,639
Speaker 1: league year. That will happen next week and then we'll

72
00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:18,600
Speaker 1: get into once the new league year hits. Well before

73
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:21,360
Speaker 1: the new year league hits, you got the tampering period

74
00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:24,360
Speaker 1: and then it changes and then guys can side contracts,

75
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:27,120
Speaker 1: trades can be consummated, in particularly a J Boyer trade

76
00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:30,560
Speaker 1: going to the Denver Broncos. So it's gonna go fast

77
00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:35,119
Speaker 1: and furious over the next the next ten days, ten

78
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:39,840
Speaker 1: twelve days, it's gonna be flying, flying. But Titan's Amy

79
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:42,840
Speaker 1: joined dB at the comment to talk about what Tennessee's

80
00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:46,600
Speaker 1: looking at. Andrew, I want to start there first because

81
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:49,040
Speaker 1: We have plenty to do with you and I, but

82
00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:54,960
Speaker 1: this news out today. A joint statement from the three

83
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:59,400
Speaker 1: owners of the AFC South Houston, Texas, Innapolis, Colton, Jacksonville

84
00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:02,360
Speaker 1: Jaguars are supporting their fellow AFC South Division member of

85
00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:06,000
Speaker 1: the Tennessee Titans, and the Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee

86
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:10,680
Speaker 1: CFMT with a thousand dollars joint donation following destructive tornadoes

87
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:14,280
Speaker 1: and severe storms that hit the Middle Tennessee area earlier

88
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:17,280
Speaker 1: this week. Types of directing donations is CFMT to support

89
00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:20,480
Speaker 1: the effect of communities and nonprofits that are both providing

90
00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:23,600
Speaker 1: both immediate and long term services to survivors and all

91
00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:27,599
Speaker 1: those affected, said Texas Chairman and CEO Cal McNair. The Houston,

92
00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:29,600
Speaker 1: Texans of our city have the residents of Nashville our

93
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:32,359
Speaker 1: thoughts and prayers during the secredibly difficult time. We also

94
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:34,599
Speaker 1: have come together with our AFC South family, the Colts

95
00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:37,479
Speaker 1: and Jags, and the Jags to make a contribution one

96
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:41,400
Speaker 1: hundred thousan dollars to the CMFT to help with ongoing

97
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:44,080
Speaker 1: relief and recovery efforts in the music city. So many

98
00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:47,839
Speaker 1: NFL partners, including including Amy Adams Strunk and the Tennessee

99
00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:50,239
Speaker 1: Titans answered the call to help in our city's recovery

100
00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:53,200
Speaker 1: following Hurricane Harvey, and we are grateful to be able

101
00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:56,360
Speaker 1: to help them and the community with their time of need.

102
00:04:58,200 --> 00:04:59,600
Speaker 1: This is one of the cool things I think about

103
00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:03,360
Speaker 1: the NFL, well, is that yes, ah and every Sunday, Monday, Thursday,

104
00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:06,600
Speaker 1: whatever foes. There are a lot of times we say

105
00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:09,080
Speaker 1: in the sports hate, hate hate. The Titans can't stand

106
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:11,480
Speaker 1: on the sports hate. But when it really comes out

107
00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:15,360
Speaker 1: to it, we're all, we're, you know, human beings that

108
00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:18,440
Speaker 1: need help. At certain times we needed seventeen they helped

109
00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:20,880
Speaker 1: us out. We're obviously trying to repay that favor in

110
00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:23,160
Speaker 1: some sense with the with the tornadoes that hit the

111
00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:24,800
Speaker 1: other night. So it's really cool. Yeah, you know, it's

112
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:27,400
Speaker 1: something we've seen throughout not just you know, Hurricane Harvey.

113
00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:31,480
Speaker 1: Back when when when David Questenberry was going through his

114
00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:34,400
Speaker 1: his fight with lymphoma, he saw a lot of teams

115
00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:37,760
Speaker 1: wearing David Strong Yes T shirts. And then the Texans

116
00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:41,320
Speaker 1: were wearing Chuck Strong stuff back when Uhadano was going

117
00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:43,400
Speaker 1: through when he was with the Cults, and then you know,

118
00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:45,800
Speaker 1: the Titans made a big donation. I think about a

119
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:49,880
Speaker 1: million dollars to JJ Watts fun during the hurricane. So yeah,

120
00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:52,600
Speaker 1: it kind of goes around and you see see people, Hey,

121
00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:56,760
Speaker 1: when we were stranded in Dallas, cowboys open their arms,

122
00:05:56,760 --> 00:05:58,839
Speaker 1: open their facilities to us. We were able to do

123
00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:00,720
Speaker 1: a lot of things. So it's kind a part for

124
00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:03,720
Speaker 1: the course and really not surprising in a really nice

125
00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:06,080
Speaker 1: way to see. Yeah, it is. It's really cool. And

126
00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:10,719
Speaker 1: to see the division opponents, the ones you know the most,

127
00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:13,920
Speaker 1: the ones you see the most, stepping up to give

128
00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:16,760
Speaker 1: to one another, I think is I think it's really

129
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:18,360
Speaker 1: cool because a lot of times when we talk about

130
00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:20,480
Speaker 1: different things and you're like, oh, well, you'll never make

131
00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:23,839
Speaker 1: a trade in the division, you don't like those guys

132
00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:26,039
Speaker 1: can playing them twice a year, And then you step

133
00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:29,520
Speaker 1: back from it and you realize, you know, humanity helping humanity,

134
00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:32,479
Speaker 1: and that's that's really what this turns into. So that

135
00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:35,559
Speaker 1: was that was really cool news. But Drew, I would

136
00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:38,320
Speaker 1: love to get into this you each and every year.

137
00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:42,919
Speaker 1: And I love doing this because this it's it's a

138
00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:46,680
Speaker 1: fun exercise for me to go through just with the

139
00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:49,400
Speaker 1: work that I do on the draft. Yeah, but you

140
00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:54,159
Speaker 1: put together what's called the mock draft survey. Now, what

141
00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:56,840
Speaker 1: makes your job very difficult over the next couple of

142
00:06:56,960 --> 00:07:03,080
Speaker 1: years is the fact that most drafts go one round deep. Sure,

143
00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:06,320
Speaker 1: thirty two picks away you go. Obviously over the next

144
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:09,359
Speaker 1: couple of years, Texans don't have first round picks. But

145
00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:14,520
Speaker 1: there are some enterprising sorts that go a few rounds deep.

146
00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:16,200
Speaker 1: There are a few out there that go all seven

147
00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:21,200
Speaker 1: rounds savages, Yeah, very much so. And there's some most

148
00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:23,880
Speaker 1: of them that do multi rounds. They go through three rounds. Yeah.

149
00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:27,400
Speaker 1: Now they don't have the competitory picks. Some of them do,

150
00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:29,680
Speaker 1: some of them don't. Some project that, some don't. And

151
00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:32,640
Speaker 1: the Texans that that should be coming out relatively soon

152
00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:34,360
Speaker 1: where the competit story picks are coming out. I thought

153
00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:36,720
Speaker 1: it would have come out last week, and usually you know,

154
00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:39,520
Speaker 1: it usually comes out right before the combine, So it

155
00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:42,800
Speaker 1: should be coming out any day now, and Texans probably

156
00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:45,000
Speaker 1: gonna get a few a few compicks. But it's like

157
00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:48,480
Speaker 1: you said, everybody does a mock draft, not as many

158
00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:51,239
Speaker 1: people do multi round mock drafts. I'm in a dozen

159
00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:54,200
Speaker 1: right now, like reputable ones, guys that hey, guys and

160
00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:56,040
Speaker 1: gals that have been around for a while that you

161
00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:58,720
Speaker 1: know they're with a company or an outlet or publication

162
00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:02,840
Speaker 1: that sort of has has a you know, a good following,

163
00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:05,520
Speaker 1: a good background, a good resume, because a lot of

164
00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:07,720
Speaker 1: people just pump out mock drafts and you don't know

165
00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:11,000
Speaker 1: if it's just some dude, some dude. So there's a

166
00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:14,240
Speaker 1: dozen right now, and the majority of them last week

167
00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:16,480
Speaker 1: and this last version of the third version I've done,

168
00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:19,760
Speaker 1: they've got the Texans going with a corner. Eight of

169
00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:22,440
Speaker 1: the twelve have the Texans going with a corner. But

170
00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:28,119
Speaker 1: the most commonly picked player was a running back LSU

171
00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:31,200
Speaker 1: running back Clyde Edwards Lari So or is it la

172
00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:33,719
Speaker 1: hilaria hilaria? Yeah? I see it, and I because I

173
00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:36,040
Speaker 1: know a little bit of Spanish, and I think so,

174
00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:39,880
Speaker 1: I think it would be cool to get like I mean,

175
00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:42,280
Speaker 1: Joe Biseman changed his name. He was Theiseman when he

176
00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:44,120
Speaker 1: got the Notre Dame and then he was you know

177
00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:49,320
Speaker 1: Thiseman rhyme to Heisman win. It made some sense if

178
00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:52,439
Speaker 1: a couple of things. I kind of would be surprised

179
00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:53,959
Speaker 1: if the Texans were to go running back with that

180
00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:57,760
Speaker 1: first seven overall pick, I would be two in that

181
00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:01,480
Speaker 1: I do think there is depth in this draft. I

182
00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:03,640
Speaker 1: do think the Texans will draft the running back. I

183
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:05,640
Speaker 1: do think they will do that. You and I've talked

184
00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:08,240
Speaker 1: about this a little bit. So many of them, there's

185
00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:10,360
Speaker 1: so many different types. Yeah, there's so many different types,

186
00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:12,319
Speaker 1: and already on campus. I mean, you got to do Johnson.

187
00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:14,680
Speaker 1: You don't know what's gonna happen with Carlos Hide, but

188
00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:18,920
Speaker 1: if you use Austin Eckler's deal as a guy. Now,

189
00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:23,920
Speaker 1: Eckler's not quite the size of Hide, a little younger,

190
00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:26,240
Speaker 1: and he caught the ball a lot. I can't remember.

191
00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:28,680
Speaker 1: His number for receptions was insane, I can't remember. And

192
00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:31,800
Speaker 1: he signed a four year deal with the Chargers. He

193
00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:34,679
Speaker 1: got that done. And considering Austin Eckler was a five

194
00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:37,880
Speaker 1: thousand dollars signing as an undrafted free agent, it's amazing

195
00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:40,839
Speaker 1: to seem so congratulations him. But that's like the mid

196
00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:46,760
Speaker 1: round baseball draftee. Yeah, I mean that's nothing, yeah, nothing, yeah, exactly.

197
00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:51,920
Speaker 1: So Austin Ecklers get somebody, So it may give, you know,

198
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:54,840
Speaker 1: Carlos Hide a baseline for what he's looking for with

199
00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:58,400
Speaker 1: this contract. Who's to say, but Kron Higdon is a

200
00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:00,280
Speaker 1: guy that we talked about, it's on the practice squad.

201
00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:01,760
Speaker 1: He's not a practice squad. And this guy that they

202
00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:06,079
Speaker 1: would think about, Clyde Edwardsilaire is I think he's about

203
00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:09,720
Speaker 1: as tall as your twins. I mean he's tiny, tiny.

204
00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:11,719
Speaker 1: I mean Marie may look him eye to eye right,

205
00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:14,160
Speaker 1: and my twins are six years old. By the way. Yeah,

206
00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:17,720
Speaker 1: those of those that didn't know that he's he's an

207
00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:22,880
Speaker 1: absolute dude and I he could do lots of things.

208
00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:26,400
Speaker 1: The one thing you and I talked about this whenever

209
00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:30,000
Speaker 1: we had a game in which we were gonna face

210
00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:33,200
Speaker 1: Darren Sprowls. Each of us were like, you hold your breath,

211
00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:35,080
Speaker 1: You hold your he's hold your breath. Deren sproles as

212
00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:38,400
Speaker 1: they hold your breath player, And that's when I watch him.

213
00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:40,880
Speaker 1: That's the way I feel. I feel that way about

214
00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:42,800
Speaker 1: Clyde Edwards Hilaire, and I'm okay with that. If you

215
00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:45,240
Speaker 1: add a hold your breath guy to your team, I'm okay.

216
00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:47,160
Speaker 1: If it comes at the expense of a corner of

217
00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:49,400
Speaker 1: a pass rusher, I am too. And I feel like

218
00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:53,360
Speaker 1: he's that he's gonna be the Harris one hundred. Just

219
00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:55,360
Speaker 1: continue to work through it. I think we're gonna do

220
00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:57,040
Speaker 1: one post thing of the Harris one hundred, so may

221
00:10:57,040 --> 00:10:58,360
Speaker 1: not come out for it for a few weeks. But

222
00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:01,439
Speaker 1: I've got guys slotted where I pretty much know they're

223
00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:03,679
Speaker 1: gonna go. And I've got him as I got him

224
00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:05,880
Speaker 1: as a late first thing. He's number thirty or thirty one,

225
00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:08,440
Speaker 1: so he wouldn't he wouldn't last. You know, I don't

226
00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:10,320
Speaker 1: think he would last. That's the thing. I don't think

227
00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:12,360
Speaker 1: he will get there. But you know, the draft pick

228
00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:13,959
Speaker 1: is kind of joking, and all of a sudden a team,

229
00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:16,640
Speaker 1: a team makes a pick and you go, whoa, And

230
00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:18,240
Speaker 1: then all it takes is one of the team to

231
00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:19,880
Speaker 1: have kind of a wacky pick too, and then all

232
00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:21,839
Speaker 1: of a sudden sort of snowballs and it's like, wait

233
00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:24,079
Speaker 1: a second, how to heck did Justin Reid get the

234
00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:29,160
Speaker 1: third round? I mean, it's here's how I thought interesting.

235
00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:32,320
Speaker 1: I went back and I looked at your previous previous

236
00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:36,760
Speaker 1: mock draft survey, because you said corner was the most

237
00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:43,120
Speaker 1: often predicted position, right, yes, in this one. In that one, yeah,

238
00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:45,720
Speaker 1: and but the running back Clydeedwards Hilaire was the name

239
00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:50,560
Speaker 1: most mentioned. Yeah. I found it interesting that in uh,

240
00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:54,520
Speaker 1: your second mock draft survey, it was actually edge rusher

241
00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:59,560
Speaker 1: that was the most off, most often named position, and

242
00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:02,640
Speaker 1: then we're even named in this one. And yeah, and

243
00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:05,280
Speaker 1: it wasn't, which is kind of bizarre to me. Yeah,

244
00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:07,640
Speaker 1: they didn't. The Texans don't really do anything that would

245
00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:10,400
Speaker 1: I think precipitate sort of a change. I mean, maybe

246
00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:11,800
Speaker 1: some of it had to do with how guys did

247
00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:15,480
Speaker 1: in the combine and maybe the fit. But Curtis Weaver,

248
00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:18,880
Speaker 1: the ascent linebacker slash defensive in from out of Boise

249
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:22,200
Speaker 1: State listed here in mock Draft Survey number two, that

250
00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:27,920
Speaker 1: to me is more of not only a fit, but

251
00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:31,440
Speaker 1: it feels like that's where he'll go in this particular draft,

252
00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:35,400
Speaker 1: more so than Clyde Edwards Hilaire going at number fifty seven.

253
00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:39,000
Speaker 1: So it's almost like mock Draft Survey number two to

254
00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:41,600
Speaker 1: me is almost closer than what number three is going

255
00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:43,800
Speaker 1: to be. Well, these things rarely are right. I mean,

256
00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:47,720
Speaker 1: last year, in the very final mock draft survey, two

257
00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:52,760
Speaker 1: guys out of about fifty to sixty correctly predicted Titus

258
00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:55,640
Speaker 1: Howard to the Texans. Right now, that was a massive surprise. Nobody,

259
00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:57,599
Speaker 1: nobody really had him going there. The only two that

260
00:12:57,679 --> 00:13:01,000
Speaker 1: had him going there. We're getting Moniche Meta from New

261
00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:04,559
Speaker 1: York Daily News and then uh Maurice Jones Drew of

262
00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:07,599
Speaker 1: NFL dot Com. But his mock draft was from February.

263
00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:09,560
Speaker 1: I mean, he hadn't done anything to update it. He

264
00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:11,120
Speaker 1: just kind of threw it out there in February, and

265
00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:13,520
Speaker 1: he had Titus Howard going to the Texans because Titus

266
00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:15,880
Speaker 1: Howard had looked solid at the Senior Bowl and done

267
00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:19,040
Speaker 1: nice things. So Jones, so two guys out of about

268
00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:23,600
Speaker 1: fifty to sixty correctly predicted that when Deshaun Watson was

269
00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:28,520
Speaker 1: picked that year, Patrick Mahomes was the most mocked player

270
00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:31,760
Speaker 1: to the Texans. And that's with the Texans sitting in

271
00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:33,600
Speaker 1: the twenties, you know, not moving up to do it.

272
00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:35,880
Speaker 1: And he went ahead of Watson. You know, he's right

273
00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:38,560
Speaker 1: there when he was picked. It's wild how these things

274
00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:40,840
Speaker 1: never really shake out and are never really accurate. Yeah,

275
00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:44,319
Speaker 1: it's so true. And I and I do one. I'm

276
00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:48,200
Speaker 1: having where I'll do one near near the draft, and

277
00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:51,640
Speaker 1: it really isn't so much as an indication of a

278
00:13:51,679 --> 00:13:53,560
Speaker 1: particular player. When I think about a player that I

279
00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:57,040
Speaker 1: showed in the Harris one hundred, but it's more about, yeah,

280
00:13:57,040 --> 00:13:58,800
Speaker 1: what the teams are gonna do with the team's needs

281
00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:01,000
Speaker 1: are how you kind of with together needs with best

282
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:05,360
Speaker 1: available all that kind of stuff. And then also just listening. Yeah,

283
00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:08,439
Speaker 1: and sometimes at the Senior Bowl, just keeping your eyes

284
00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:11,559
Speaker 1: WHOA okay, right? And didn't hear that? You're just talking

285
00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:14,280
Speaker 1: to different peopure, you know, hearing from scouts, you know,

286
00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:16,640
Speaker 1: Pro Day just kind of a one pro day I

287
00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:20,520
Speaker 1: went to I think he was A and M and

288
00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:22,200
Speaker 1: I just happened to be talking to one of our

289
00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:25,440
Speaker 1: scouts and was talking to him and we were just

290
00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:27,480
Speaker 1: kind of we're just kind of watching. We chit chat

291
00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:31,520
Speaker 1: a lot, and over to my right two scouts, one

292
00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:34,640
Speaker 1: Bears and one other one just having you know, a discussion,

293
00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:37,040
Speaker 1: and you can overhear it. I mean they're right next

294
00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:39,080
Speaker 1: to you and you hear them talk about different players.

295
00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:43,160
Speaker 1: And I remember the scout mentioned somebody and I was

296
00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:46,320
Speaker 1: like interesting, and then they drafted that particular player. So

297
00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:47,800
Speaker 1: I'm like, yeah, you never know what you can hear,

298
00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:49,720
Speaker 1: but that to me is kind of what's what's in

299
00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:52,480
Speaker 1: in that particular mock draft. Are you are you going

300
00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:53,800
Speaker 1: to n MS Pro Day this year? I know you're

301
00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:56,040
Speaker 1: going to LSHO, but I'm planning on it. I'm planning

302
00:14:56,080 --> 00:15:00,280
Speaker 1: on going to LSU's because I just there's a lot guys.

303
00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:04,480
Speaker 1: It's almost like the percentage of players that they have,

304
00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:08,080
Speaker 1: and I think there's there's a guy in particular I

305
00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:11,800
Speaker 1: think the Texans will look at because you think about smart, tough, dependable,

306
00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:14,600
Speaker 1: a guy that does all the little things. Richard Lawrence

307
00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:16,320
Speaker 1: is not a guy will be in my Harris one hundred.

308
00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:19,240
Speaker 1: But whenever I watched him at LSU, man he did

309
00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:21,600
Speaker 1: some really good things. Now maybe I'm maybe I'm not

310
00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:25,160
Speaker 1: giving him enough credit. I've watched probably i don't know,

311
00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:28,000
Speaker 1: three or four games every player the three or four games,

312
00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:30,160
Speaker 1: and I see some do some really good things, and

313
00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:31,960
Speaker 1: I'm like, but I see him as a guy that

314
00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:34,560
Speaker 1: would fit very well in locker room. Is captain LSU

315
00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:36,960
Speaker 1: has that kind of mentality, went back as a senior

316
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:41,240
Speaker 1: to LSU. I think that would be a really good spot.

317
00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:43,440
Speaker 1: But I just think LSU's there's somebody at LSU. I

318
00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:46,800
Speaker 1: think that's gonna end up with this roster. So let's

319
00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:48,360
Speaker 1: go down and get in the circus, because I think

320
00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:51,120
Speaker 1: Joe's gonna throw that day. I believe, I believe he's

321
00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:53,520
Speaker 1: gonna throw. We had fun there in twenty fourteen. You

322
00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:58,000
Speaker 1: had Landry and you had Beckham, had Mettenberg. I mean,

323
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:00,240
Speaker 1: they'd get a lot of guys at that. That was

324
00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:02,280
Speaker 1: a fun one. That had to be a very very

325
00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:05,760
Speaker 1: fun one. Alfred Blue, do you have any thought? Mock

326
00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:08,160
Speaker 1: draft Survey number four? It's gonna I'm gonna wait a

327
00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:11,520
Speaker 1: little while. There's these guys got the fruitless because you

328
00:16:11,520 --> 00:16:13,960
Speaker 1: know a lot of people that I mean, just nobody

329
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:16,160
Speaker 1: does a multi round right, There's so many, so few

330
00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:19,000
Speaker 1: of them. So I'm curious to the long process. I'm

331
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:21,600
Speaker 1: curious to see how many for the final mock draft

332
00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:24,760
Speaker 1: I do there are. I would guess maybe twenty multi

333
00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:26,680
Speaker 1: round draft. So we'll see. I'm gonna do one probably

334
00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:28,200
Speaker 1: at the start of April. You know what I should do?

335
00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:29,720
Speaker 1: You know what I'm thinking I'm doing. I'll do on

336
00:16:29,760 --> 00:16:32,440
Speaker 1: this one. I think I'm gonna do a mock draft

337
00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:35,520
Speaker 1: all the way up through pick fifty six and then

338
00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:38,560
Speaker 1: see who I have on the board, and then see

339
00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:40,480
Speaker 1: what options would be best if these seven like not

340
00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:42,800
Speaker 1: make the pick, but get all the way there and

341
00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:44,760
Speaker 1: see who's still on the board at that point and

342
00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:46,800
Speaker 1: who would make the most sense, And of course you

343
00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:49,360
Speaker 1: gotta taken it all free agency, what happens is new

344
00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:52,400
Speaker 1: league year starts, who gets resigned, all that kind of stuff. So, Drew,

345
00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:54,680
Speaker 1: this is exle of stuff. I read this every single

346
00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:56,280
Speaker 1: time you put it out. Man. I appreciate it. Thank

347
00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:58,200
Speaker 1: you so much. I mean it's all it's like throwing

348
00:16:58,240 --> 00:16:59,680
Speaker 1: in a dartboard in a lot of ways. But it's

349
00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:01,880
Speaker 1: fun to see where the you know, whose dark board

350
00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:04,360
Speaker 1: looks like, what he has kind of learned about other

351
00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:07,160
Speaker 1: players that you wind up knowing about once the games

352
00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:08,639
Speaker 1: get going in the fall. So I like it. I

353
00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:10,800
Speaker 1: like it, enjoy it. Yeah, it definitely helps, especially in

354
00:17:10,800 --> 00:17:12,600
Speaker 1: the preseason, no doubt about that. Drew you the best, man,

355
00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:15,840
Speaker 1: appreciate it, Thank you. Coming up next Titans Amy. Amy

356
00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:18,479
Speaker 1: Wells is gonna join DP to talk a little bit

357
00:17:18,520 --> 00:17:21,359
Speaker 1: about the Titans and what they've got rolling in twenty

358
00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:23,960
Speaker 1: twenty in the AFC South. That next on Texas Access.

359
00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:28,480
Speaker 1: We're getting done on a Monday edition of Texas All

360
00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:31,400
Speaker 1: Access from the Honday Texans the Radio Studio. I'm your host,

361
00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:33,399
Speaker 1: John Harris. Glad to be with you. I'll be with

362
00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:36,359
Speaker 1: you all week as Mark gets some R and R

363
00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:40,720
Speaker 1: on spring break. It's Mark's spring break, I guess, as

364
00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:43,880
Speaker 1: it'll be mine next week. I guess. So we've got

365
00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:47,440
Speaker 1: you covered. And we gave you that news earlier about

366
00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:53,160
Speaker 1: the AFC South coming together to help our friends in Nashville, Tennessee.

367
00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:55,680
Speaker 1: And when we're here at the combine, our good friend

368
00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:59,679
Speaker 1: DP City caught up with one of Tennessee's finest you

369
00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:03,040
Speaker 1: know were as Titans Amy. We know her as Amy Wells,

370
00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:07,679
Speaker 1: team reporter for the Tennessee Titans, and she is fantastic

371
00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:10,119
Speaker 1: at what she does. And she sat down at the

372
00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:14,240
Speaker 1: combine with Dep. Citu and they started talking about last

373
00:18:14,320 --> 00:18:17,879
Speaker 1: year's draft that was actually held in Nashville and what

374
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:19,600
Speaker 1: that meant to the city. When you look back at

375
00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:21,600
Speaker 1: how I mean, I heard very good things about the

376
00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:23,679
Speaker 1: NFL Draft in Nashville. It looked like a lot of

377
00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:26,040
Speaker 1: fun on TV. They just seemed like, I mean, minus

378
00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:29,080
Speaker 1: the bachelorette parties that were that were not informed that

379
00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:31,480
Speaker 1: there were going to be all these people descending on Nashville,

380
00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:33,800
Speaker 1: it seemed like it was a big hit. Do you

381
00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:36,960
Speaker 1: foresee any other big events happening in Nashville throughout the year.

382
00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:40,760
Speaker 1: Oh absolutely. I mean, first off, someone in Las Vegas

383
00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:43,320
Speaker 1: should take note of what happened to the poor bachelorettes

384
00:18:43,359 --> 00:18:45,520
Speaker 1: in Nashville's true. This is may send out like a

385
00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:48,359
Speaker 1: press release because I think if Nashville's number one for

386
00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:52,880
Speaker 1: bachelorette parties, Vegas is probably number two. But I would

387
00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:55,560
Speaker 1: It was such a cool event. It was incredible to

388
00:18:55,560 --> 00:18:58,000
Speaker 1: see the people that came out. There were six hundred

389
00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:02,640
Speaker 1: thousand people in Nashville for this event, and we kind

390
00:19:02,680 --> 00:19:04,360
Speaker 1: and they were just in this. They were on Broadway.

391
00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:06,760
Speaker 1: They were on Broadway, yep, so they shut the street down.

392
00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:10,240
Speaker 1: They're packed in there. The pictures are incredible. We all

393
00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:14,080
Speaker 1: after that draft was over, our owner Amy Adams Drunk

394
00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:17,520
Speaker 1: had pictures printed for all of us of downtown Broadway

395
00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:19,760
Speaker 1: just full of people, and we all have them in

396
00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:22,920
Speaker 1: our offices because it was just such I'm getting goosebumps.

397
00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:25,879
Speaker 1: It was just such a cool thing to see our

398
00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:31,440
Speaker 1: city being represented so well. In terms of future things, yes, yes, yes,

399
00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:35,119
Speaker 1: so many things. Nashville has kind of been able to

400
00:19:35,119 --> 00:19:38,320
Speaker 1: put themselves on the map and say, hey, we can

401
00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:41,080
Speaker 1: actually host something of this magnitude and do it really well.

402
00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:44,800
Speaker 1: Do you think a Super Bowl ever make it to Nashville.

403
00:19:44,880 --> 00:19:49,840
Speaker 1: I think the conversations are starting to kind of brew that, hey,

404
00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:52,600
Speaker 1: this is a city that could sustain something like that.

405
00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:56,040
Speaker 1: Our stadium is out of date, so there would definitely

406
00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:58,960
Speaker 1: need to be a lot of stadium renovations that happen.

407
00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:01,960
Speaker 1: And I know that that something that's constantly being talked about.

408
00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:04,959
Speaker 1: And I mean, they don't invite me to those meetings.

409
00:20:05,040 --> 00:20:07,360
Speaker 1: You're not invited, Yeah, I'm not invited. They don't want

410
00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:09,960
Speaker 1: to see my sketches. They don't invite me to anything

411
00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:11,879
Speaker 1: that involves a budget either, because I would be like, oh,

412
00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:14,399
Speaker 1: it's unlimited money, right, it's not my money, let's change everything,

413
00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:17,800
Speaker 1: let's fix it all right, exactly. So there are definitely

414
00:20:17,840 --> 00:20:20,119
Speaker 1: some changes that would have to be made just to

415
00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:22,359
Speaker 1: update the stadium a little bit and accommodate for the

416
00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:24,800
Speaker 1: volume of people that is required for a Super Bowl.

417
00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:27,239
Speaker 1: But I think in terms of the city and the

418
00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:31,440
Speaker 1: infrastructure of Nashville, during the draft, we showed that that's

419
00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:35,560
Speaker 1: very it's very easy for us to accommodate something of

420
00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:39,119
Speaker 1: that magnitude. And I mean Nashville's bidding to be a

421
00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:42,359
Speaker 1: city when the World Cup comes to the US and

422
00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:45,880
Speaker 1: Nashville is talking about maybe hosting the Draft again at

423
00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:48,880
Speaker 1: some point, and they've talked about I mean, we've got

424
00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:52,840
Speaker 1: Final Four. There's all these things that are always kept

425
00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:56,359
Speaker 1: swirling about. Nashville's really becoming a sports town, which is

426
00:20:56,400 --> 00:20:59,520
Speaker 1: really a cool thing because it, for the longest time

427
00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:02,080
Speaker 1: was just the small city in the middle of Tennessee

428
00:21:02,119 --> 00:21:04,760
Speaker 1: and now it's really on the map, and it's been

429
00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:06,879
Speaker 1: really fun to kind of be a part of that growth.

430
00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:08,760
Speaker 1: It's been a lot of fun. Actually, we go there

431
00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:11,119
Speaker 1: every year, obviously the Texans and the Titans being in

432
00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:14,600
Speaker 1: the same division between the music, the food, and now

433
00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:16,720
Speaker 1: the sports town because there's always a hockey game or

434
00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:19,399
Speaker 1: something else going on when we're there during football season.

435
00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:22,000
Speaker 1: That's a fun city to visit. Let's talk about the Titans,

436
00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:25,199
Speaker 1: because the season really turned around in a way that

437
00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:28,399
Speaker 1: nobody expected. I was wild ran Tannehill. I mean everyone

438
00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:31,600
Speaker 1: thought Mario is the guy. Then Tannehill comes in and

439
00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:34,720
Speaker 1: turns a team around. Mike Rabel leads the team to

440
00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:37,720
Speaker 1: a win over the Patriots as a wildcard team, and

441
00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:40,160
Speaker 1: I know the Texans and the Titans faced off twice

442
00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:42,600
Speaker 1: in very close proximity to the end of the season.

443
00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:44,440
Speaker 1: But when you look back at the twenty nineteenth season

444
00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:47,040
Speaker 1: and now this off season, it seems like I'm hearing

445
00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:50,439
Speaker 1: a lot of questions about Tannehill and Derrick Henry and

446
00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:54,440
Speaker 1: it's you know, what is your perception of what this

447
00:21:54,520 --> 00:21:56,600
Speaker 1: offseason is going to look like for the Titans. This

448
00:21:56,720 --> 00:22:00,680
Speaker 1: offseason is so interesting to me because the stations I've

449
00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:02,720
Speaker 1: had just being in this space here at the Combine

450
00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:06,679
Speaker 1: with everybody who is very intimately aware of what NFL

451
00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:09,640
Speaker 1: teams kind of look like and what a typical air

452
00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:13,119
Speaker 1: Quotes offseason looks like. It's not very often you go

453
00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:16,320
Speaker 1: to the AFC Championship Game and then have twenty one

454
00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:20,680
Speaker 1: guys that are not under contract that offseason, right, you'd

455
00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:22,639
Speaker 1: want to bring back the same group of guys just

456
00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:24,680
Speaker 1: to get to the next level. But that's usually how

457
00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:30,639
Speaker 1: it happens. We've got just it's kind of how the

458
00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:32,720
Speaker 1: calendar fell. You know, you get to the point where

459
00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:34,800
Speaker 1: there's a lot of guys who are just up for

460
00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:37,720
Speaker 1: free agency and there's only so much money to go around,

461
00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:40,760
Speaker 1: and you've got to kind of pick your spots. And unfortunately,

462
00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:42,800
Speaker 1: when you have a really good roster. One of the

463
00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:45,680
Speaker 1: best problems that you can have is that you can't

464
00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:47,720
Speaker 1: keep all of the really good players because you have

465
00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:51,879
Speaker 1: to pay the really good shots. And so as it

466
00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:55,920
Speaker 1: sits right now, I think free agency is our next

467
00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:59,159
Speaker 1: big landmark because once we figure out, Okay, this is

468
00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:02,600
Speaker 1: what's happening with Ryan Tannehill and the quarterbacks, this is

469
00:23:02,600 --> 00:23:05,040
Speaker 1: what's happening with Derrick Henry and the running backs. This

470
00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:08,080
Speaker 1: is what's happening with Jack Conklin and our offensive line,

471
00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:11,520
Speaker 1: this is what's happening with Logan Ryan and our secondary

472
00:23:11,760 --> 00:23:14,600
Speaker 1: Once we kind of know which pieces are staying, you

473
00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:17,520
Speaker 1: then know where you're going to be investing some of

474
00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:20,040
Speaker 1: your time and resources to plug up those holes with

475
00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:23,280
Speaker 1: the guys that you unfortunately can't keep. So it's a

476
00:23:23,320 --> 00:23:26,280
Speaker 1: big puzzle. P It's a big puzzle consisting of a

477
00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:29,639
Speaker 1: lot of different pieces that are all moving around. But golly,

478
00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:32,159
Speaker 1: I mean, this is a great problem to have. So

479
00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:34,560
Speaker 1: much of our coaching staff is staying intact, which is

480
00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:38,640
Speaker 1: so great having that consistency and being with the same

481
00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:42,439
Speaker 1: group for now three years. The Titans historically have had

482
00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:44,800
Speaker 1: a lot of turnover in coaches. They just have I mean,

483
00:23:44,840 --> 00:23:48,480
Speaker 1: Marcus Mariota had like four different offensive coordinators in his

484
00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:51,200
Speaker 1: time with the Titans. So to be able to have

485
00:23:51,320 --> 00:23:55,840
Speaker 1: that consistency and a bunch of guys who have had

486
00:23:55,880 --> 00:23:59,440
Speaker 1: success and have seen the fruits of their labor this

487
00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:03,080
Speaker 1: season and know that what they're doing is working. Now

488
00:24:03,119 --> 00:24:05,440
Speaker 1: they need to find the guys who can plug into that.

489
00:24:06,359 --> 00:24:11,080
Speaker 1: It's really exciting to have that consistency in that way.

490
00:24:11,119 --> 00:24:13,400
Speaker 1: So even though the roster is going to look really

491
00:24:13,440 --> 00:24:16,960
Speaker 1: different in twenty twenty, I think the mindset and the

492
00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:19,720
Speaker 1: way that the team operates is going to be very

493
00:24:19,760 --> 00:24:22,359
Speaker 1: similar to what we saw in twenty nineteen. And that's

494
00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:26,120
Speaker 1: really exciting. When you look at Ryan Tannehill, Obviously he's

495
00:24:26,160 --> 00:24:29,960
Speaker 1: a different quarterback from Mariota. But let's just say, if

496
00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:33,000
Speaker 1: the Titans want to add to that quarterback room this offseason,

497
00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:36,240
Speaker 1: what are some characteristics you think that they would look

498
00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:37,879
Speaker 1: at in a quarterback. What are some of the things

499
00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:40,800
Speaker 1: that Mike Rabel and Pat O'Hara, Right, he's still the

500
00:24:40,880 --> 00:24:43,720
Speaker 1: quarterbacks coach there that they're looking at, because are they

501
00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:46,880
Speaker 1: you know, was it something that Ryan Tannehill they sort

502
00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:49,240
Speaker 1: of adjusted the offense to fit his skill set? Or

503
00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:52,080
Speaker 1: was he just so well suited for that offense that

504
00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:54,480
Speaker 1: he just fit right where he needed to be. He

505
00:24:54,600 --> 00:24:57,480
Speaker 1: was very well suited for the offense, so when it

506
00:24:57,520 --> 00:25:00,359
Speaker 1: became clear that a change needed to be made, he

507
00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:03,160
Speaker 1: slipped right in. They didn't have to do anything different

508
00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:07,399
Speaker 1: for him because he was so aware of how this

509
00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:10,200
Speaker 1: offense worked and it worked to his skill set. I

510
00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:14,280
Speaker 1: think that that was intentional in bringing Ryan in, was

511
00:25:14,560 --> 00:25:18,359
Speaker 1: finding a guy who had similar strengths to Marcus. Who's

512
00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:21,480
Speaker 1: a veteran guy, so he's really smart, he's a great leader.

513
00:25:22,560 --> 00:25:24,600
Speaker 1: Those were some of the things that they were looking for.

514
00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:27,400
Speaker 1: Someone who, I mean, sometimes you get a backup who

515
00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:29,440
Speaker 1: comes in and you've got to throw the book out

516
00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:35,920
Speaker 1: and just starts. And so it was a big point

517
00:25:35,960 --> 00:25:38,240
Speaker 1: to make sure that the Titans didn't have to do that.

518
00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:41,520
Speaker 1: And so when I mean nobody thought that this change

519
00:25:41,600 --> 00:25:43,760
Speaker 1: was going to happen when we were in training camp

520
00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:47,080
Speaker 1: twenty nineteen, Marcus Mariota is the guy, Like there was

521
00:25:47,119 --> 00:25:49,880
Speaker 1: no smoke in mirrors regarding that he was the guy,

522
00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:53,520
Speaker 1: and he was the guy until that change was made. Well,

523
00:25:53,520 --> 00:25:55,200
Speaker 1: it did seem like twenty nineteen was going to be

524
00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:57,399
Speaker 1: a big decision year from Mariota, and I think we

525
00:25:57,480 --> 00:26:00,920
Speaker 1: all saw that, but nobody thought that Yan Tannehill would

526
00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:03,280
Speaker 1: be able to you know, I talk to Jim Wyatt,

527
00:26:03,320 --> 00:26:05,359
Speaker 1: who works with you over there with the Titans, and

528
00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:07,560
Speaker 1: he said, well, I'd I'd be lying if I said

529
00:26:07,560 --> 00:26:10,080
Speaker 1: in training camp, I thought, yes, Ryan Tannehill is gonna

530
00:26:10,080 --> 00:26:12,240
Speaker 1: be the guy that leads us to the AFC Championship Game.

531
00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:14,639
Speaker 1: But the fact that he was able to turn his

532
00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:18,280
Speaker 1: career around after being with the Dolphins and not really

533
00:26:18,280 --> 00:26:19,879
Speaker 1: having the sort of success that he had like at

534
00:26:19,920 --> 00:26:22,359
Speaker 1: Texas A and M is really a testament to how

535
00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:25,240
Speaker 1: well he did fit in Absolutely and he I mean

536
00:26:25,560 --> 00:26:27,800
Speaker 1: I had never had the opportunity to meet him before

537
00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:30,560
Speaker 1: he came to the Titans. He's a good guy. He's

538
00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:32,720
Speaker 1: kind of a quiet guy. He just kind of goes

539
00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:35,760
Speaker 1: about his business. He's not a super flashy kind of

540
00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:38,640
Speaker 1: trying to get all this attention and do all these

541
00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:41,600
Speaker 1: different things. He's just a guy doing his job and

542
00:26:41,640 --> 00:26:44,679
Speaker 1: he really enjoys playing football. So I think that matched

543
00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:47,000
Speaker 1: really well with Marcus. So the two got along really

544
00:26:47,040 --> 00:26:49,679
Speaker 1: well in the room. They were able to work together,

545
00:26:49,960 --> 00:26:52,399
Speaker 1: Marcus was able to learn from him and his experience

546
00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:56,000
Speaker 1: a little bit. So then when that transition came, Ryan

547
00:26:56,160 --> 00:26:59,719
Speaker 1: had enough of a cerebral idea of what this offense

548
00:26:59,840 --> 00:27:02,000
Speaker 1: is looks like and what needs to be done and

549
00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:04,680
Speaker 1: how it works, so he was able to slip in.

550
00:27:04,840 --> 00:27:07,840
Speaker 1: And I think one of the most underrated things about

551
00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:10,280
Speaker 1: that is not only the way that Marcus handled it,

552
00:27:10,320 --> 00:27:12,520
Speaker 1: which was just like a true pro, but also the

553
00:27:12,560 --> 00:27:16,159
Speaker 1: way that Ryan handled it, and that he didn't just

554
00:27:16,240 --> 00:27:18,520
Speaker 1: jump up and say, I'm the captain, now this is

555
00:27:18,560 --> 00:27:21,560
Speaker 1: my ship. Here we go. He kind of eased into

556
00:27:21,600 --> 00:27:23,920
Speaker 1: it too, and let some of the leaders on offense

557
00:27:24,040 --> 00:27:26,320
Speaker 1: kind of rally the troops. And that I mean, Marcus

558
00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:30,560
Speaker 1: is still one of our team captains and so kind

559
00:27:30,560 --> 00:27:36,680
Speaker 1: of let people fall into a natural roles within having

560
00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:38,920
Speaker 1: a new guy under center. You know, yeah, he's still

561
00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:41,959
Speaker 1: dynamic a little bit, but he kind of worked his

562
00:27:42,040 --> 00:27:45,280
Speaker 1: way into being the leader of the offense. And so

563
00:27:45,359 --> 00:27:48,720
Speaker 1: by the end of the regular season, as we're going

564
00:27:48,760 --> 00:27:52,239
Speaker 1: into the postseason, he's kind of hitting his stride as

565
00:27:52,280 --> 00:27:54,119
Speaker 1: the leader of this team and the guy who pulls

566
00:27:54,119 --> 00:27:57,200
Speaker 1: everyone together, and he became more of a vocal Rara

567
00:27:57,440 --> 00:28:00,159
Speaker 1: kind of guy. But he didn't do that right away,

568
00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:03,280
Speaker 1: out of respect for the transition that was being made

569
00:28:03,320 --> 00:28:05,879
Speaker 1: and I think for Marcus and not wanting to force

570
00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:09,360
Speaker 1: himself on the other guys on offense who had been

571
00:28:09,359 --> 00:28:12,960
Speaker 1: playing pretty well, you know. So it was an interesting

572
00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:14,879
Speaker 1: thing to be a part of. I had never been

573
00:28:14,920 --> 00:28:16,719
Speaker 1: a part of something like that in my career, just

574
00:28:16,760 --> 00:28:20,200
Speaker 1: seeing a change happened mid season and knowing how big

575
00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:23,359
Speaker 1: it was going to be for this entire team, the

576
00:28:23,440 --> 00:28:28,040
Speaker 1: ramifications of that move, and it was I was very

577
00:28:28,119 --> 00:28:29,880
Speaker 1: proud of the guys that we had in our locker

578
00:28:29,960 --> 00:28:32,160
Speaker 1: room during that time to be able to pull something

579
00:28:32,200 --> 00:28:34,880
Speaker 1: like that off and then have the success that they had.

580
00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:37,240
Speaker 1: That was such a fun byproduct of it. And I

581
00:28:37,280 --> 00:28:39,080
Speaker 1: don't know if Texans fans would call it fun, but

582
00:28:39,120 --> 00:28:41,040
Speaker 1: it was. It was interesting, and I think it was

583
00:28:41,040 --> 00:28:43,760
Speaker 1: a little stressful seeing that two AFC cell I mean,

584
00:28:43,760 --> 00:28:47,760
Speaker 1: this division went from worst in the league to you know,

585
00:28:47,920 --> 00:28:49,800
Speaker 1: two teams making it out of the division, and it

586
00:28:49,840 --> 00:28:52,000
Speaker 1: was neck and neck in that month of December. It

587
00:28:52,040 --> 00:28:53,960
Speaker 1: seemed like even in November when the Texans played the

588
00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:56,120
Speaker 1: Colds and the Titans were going back and forth. I

589
00:28:56,160 --> 00:28:58,240
Speaker 1: remember the Titans and then the Colts are playing and

590
00:28:58,480 --> 00:29:02,520
Speaker 1: we were thinking who do we root against? Because these

591
00:29:02,560 --> 00:29:05,080
Speaker 1: are both going to be big contenders as the season

592
00:29:05,160 --> 00:29:07,480
Speaker 1: goes on. Let me ask you. We've talked about offseason

593
00:29:07,560 --> 00:29:09,960
Speaker 1: questions as far as so many players becoming free agents,

594
00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:11,800
Speaker 1: but here we are at the NFL combine. I know

595
00:29:11,840 --> 00:29:13,560
Speaker 1: you're covering a lot of these prospects out here, but

596
00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:16,160
Speaker 1: when you look at the biggest team needs heading into

597
00:29:16,160 --> 00:29:19,120
Speaker 1: twenty twenty, what do you think they might be? And

598
00:29:19,400 --> 00:29:20,840
Speaker 1: if you had a crystal ball, what are some of

599
00:29:20,880 --> 00:29:23,080
Speaker 1: the position groups you think that the Titans will be

600
00:29:23,120 --> 00:29:26,080
Speaker 1: looking at. My coworkers will laugh at me because every

601
00:29:26,120 --> 00:29:28,200
Speaker 1: single year I say the same thing. I am a

602
00:29:28,240 --> 00:29:31,120
Speaker 1: defense nerd. I love them. I like the big guys

603
00:29:31,120 --> 00:29:33,160
Speaker 1: that hit people. And every year I'm like, I want

604
00:29:33,160 --> 00:29:35,720
Speaker 1: an edge rusher and they're like, well, we've got this

605
00:29:35,760 --> 00:29:37,960
Speaker 1: guy and this guy, and I'm like, I want more.

606
00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:41,320
Speaker 1: And I think it's really kind of serious this year.

607
00:29:41,560 --> 00:29:43,719
Speaker 1: But you can never have too many. Yo. Cornell had

608
00:29:43,960 --> 00:29:46,040
Speaker 1: one said that you can have was it Romeo Cornell

609
00:29:46,080 --> 00:29:47,640
Speaker 1: or Wade Phillips. One of them had said, You're gonna

610
00:29:47,720 --> 00:29:49,560
Speaker 1: have too many good pass rushers, right, you can never

611
00:29:49,600 --> 00:29:52,720
Speaker 1: have too many pass rushers and we need big guys,

612
00:29:52,800 --> 00:29:55,800
Speaker 1: We need girth. The Titans have always been a team

613
00:29:55,840 --> 00:29:58,440
Speaker 1: that they line up and you go, and they're so

614
00:29:58,520 --> 00:30:01,040
Speaker 1: athletic and they're so talented, and what they were able

615
00:30:01,080 --> 00:30:03,800
Speaker 1: to do in Dean pass defense was I mean, Dean

616
00:30:03,960 --> 00:30:05,880
Speaker 1: is so smart and the way that he was able

617
00:30:05,880 --> 00:30:08,840
Speaker 1: to manipulate the defense and really move guys around to

618
00:30:08,880 --> 00:30:11,600
Speaker 1: do a bunch of different things. And I think with

619
00:30:11,640 --> 00:30:14,160
Speaker 1: Mike Vrabel getting more involved in the defense this year,

620
00:30:14,240 --> 00:30:16,400
Speaker 1: and that's hide of the ball specifically, I think that

621
00:30:16,480 --> 00:30:18,760
Speaker 1: things are going to be just as creative and just

622
00:30:18,800 --> 00:30:24,360
Speaker 1: as kind of formational. But I think that the more

623
00:30:24,480 --> 00:30:27,160
Speaker 1: muscle you can have and the more just like strong,

624
00:30:27,640 --> 00:30:31,880
Speaker 1: big heavy people to kind of just take up space, sure,

625
00:30:32,040 --> 00:30:33,600
Speaker 1: the better it can be. So I think that that's

626
00:30:33,640 --> 00:30:36,040
Speaker 1: going to be a big position of need for the

627
00:30:36,080 --> 00:30:40,320
Speaker 1: Tennessee Titans. And then you're always looking at wide receivers.

628
00:30:40,360 --> 00:30:42,360
Speaker 1: You're always looking at guys who get I mean, we've

629
00:30:42,400 --> 00:30:44,640
Speaker 1: got a J Brown who's great, Adam Humphreys, I mean

630
00:30:44,680 --> 00:30:48,520
Speaker 1: coming back, did aj Brown surpass everyone's expectations from what

631
00:30:48,560 --> 00:30:50,480
Speaker 1: he was able to do last year? Because when I

632
00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:54,160
Speaker 1: saw him play, I thought, this guy is really special.

633
00:30:54,200 --> 00:30:56,240
Speaker 1: I can't believe other teams passed on him. I think

634
00:30:56,240 --> 00:31:00,320
Speaker 1: he surpassed everyone's expectations except for his own, and I

635
00:31:00,520 --> 00:31:02,520
Speaker 1: think that he's going to be a force in the

636
00:31:02,560 --> 00:31:04,720
Speaker 1: AFC South. The amount of things that he was able

637
00:31:04,760 --> 00:31:08,240
Speaker 1: to accomplish his rookie year was just remarkable. I'm a

638
00:31:08,280 --> 00:31:10,280
Speaker 1: little salty that he didn't get Rookie of the Year.

639
00:31:10,680 --> 00:31:13,760
Speaker 1: I'll go down swim. He deserved it. He's gonna get

640
00:31:13,760 --> 00:31:16,080
Speaker 1: his accolades, I think. Yeah, I think he'll be all right.

641
00:31:16,520 --> 00:31:19,040
Speaker 1: But couldn't have happened to a nicer guy too. He

642
00:31:19,080 --> 00:31:20,840
Speaker 1: puts in the work, he puts in the time. He

643
00:31:20,880 --> 00:31:23,480
Speaker 1: really wants to learn from the people around him, and

644
00:31:23,520 --> 00:31:25,760
Speaker 1: he's kind of a quieter dude who just kind of

645
00:31:25,840 --> 00:31:28,200
Speaker 1: listens to everyone around takes it in, ask a lot

646
00:31:28,200 --> 00:31:30,040
Speaker 1: of questions, and so I think the other guys in

647
00:31:30,080 --> 00:31:32,640
Speaker 1: the room really respect that about him. That he didn't

648
00:31:32,640 --> 00:31:34,880
Speaker 1: come in with all the records that he broke it

649
00:31:34,960 --> 00:31:37,560
Speaker 1: all miss and everything like that kind of say, well,

650
00:31:37,600 --> 00:31:40,640
Speaker 1: I'm in the NFL now. He really kind of wanted

651
00:31:40,640 --> 00:31:43,680
Speaker 1: to learn and wanted to understand, and as a result

652
00:31:43,720 --> 00:31:47,280
Speaker 1: of that, he's been so successful and having a full

653
00:31:47,360 --> 00:31:49,560
Speaker 1: offseason under him and a chance to really work out

654
00:31:49,560 --> 00:31:51,840
Speaker 1: and perfect his craft. I'm excited to see what he

655
00:31:51,880 --> 00:31:54,160
Speaker 1: does in year two. All right, So Mike Frabel, it's

656
00:31:54,440 --> 00:31:57,080
Speaker 1: gonna be year three for him right as a head coach. Obviously,

657
00:31:57,080 --> 00:31:59,800
Speaker 1: the Texans we know very well what Mike Frabel is

658
00:31:59,840 --> 00:32:02,360
Speaker 1: like as a position coach, as a defensive coordinator. You've

659
00:32:02,360 --> 00:32:04,360
Speaker 1: seen him now as a head coach, and we've seen

660
00:32:04,440 --> 00:32:06,320
Speaker 1: him from afar. But where do you think you've seen

661
00:32:06,360 --> 00:32:08,760
Speaker 1: the most growth? How much has he changed from his

662
00:32:09,080 --> 00:32:12,280
Speaker 1: first year as head coach to now? He's more comfortable

663
00:32:12,480 --> 00:32:15,480
Speaker 1: in his Mike vrabelness, if that makes sense. I always

664
00:32:15,480 --> 00:32:18,479
Speaker 1: thought he was very yes, and that's what's so funny.

665
00:32:18,560 --> 00:32:22,040
Speaker 1: I mean, he is very much himself. He wants to

666
00:32:22,080 --> 00:32:25,520
Speaker 1: do things his way. He's not concerned about really what

667
00:32:25,720 --> 00:32:28,720
Speaker 1: anybody thinks about what he's doing. But he's a lot

668
00:32:28,800 --> 00:32:32,320
Speaker 1: more confident in his presence, whether it's in front of

669
00:32:32,320 --> 00:32:35,040
Speaker 1: the team, whether it's in front of the media, whether

670
00:32:35,080 --> 00:32:38,840
Speaker 1: it's at practice, kind of running different things. And I

671
00:32:38,880 --> 00:32:41,120
Speaker 1: mean the man practice is just as much as any

672
00:32:41,120 --> 00:32:43,600
Speaker 1: player on that field. He's got pads on, he's running

673
00:32:43,640 --> 00:32:45,720
Speaker 1: down the field. I think he enjoys him working with

674
00:32:45,760 --> 00:32:48,479
Speaker 1: guy he does. He's a very hands on coach, and

675
00:32:48,520 --> 00:32:51,680
Speaker 1: I think that year after year we see him settle

676
00:32:51,760 --> 00:32:54,560
Speaker 1: into this place where it's kind of the Okay, I

677
00:32:54,640 --> 00:32:57,400
Speaker 1: know how to do this, so let's let's continue on.

678
00:32:57,560 --> 00:32:59,680
Speaker 1: You know, he's very confident in the direction he wants

679
00:32:59,720 --> 00:33:02,120
Speaker 1: to take this team. He's very confident in the way

680
00:33:02,120 --> 00:33:05,840
Speaker 1: that he interacts with people. He's the level of confidence,

681
00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:08,520
Speaker 1: and he's always been a pretty confident guy, yes, but

682
00:33:09,240 --> 00:33:11,719
Speaker 1: seeing it change from year to year to year, just

683
00:33:11,800 --> 00:33:15,240
Speaker 1: watching him kind of work through the radio row area

684
00:33:15,400 --> 00:33:17,920
Speaker 1: and well, he says hello to all of us jokingly,

685
00:33:18,040 --> 00:33:23,160
Speaker 1: like I mean, he's he's very approachable. Amy mentioned earlier

686
00:33:23,160 --> 00:33:26,960
Speaker 1: in the interview about twenty one players that the Titans

687
00:33:26,960 --> 00:33:29,800
Speaker 1: have got to decide on what's going to happen, and

688
00:33:29,880 --> 00:33:33,560
Speaker 1: the three main ones being Derek Henry, Jack Conklin and

689
00:33:33,680 --> 00:33:37,760
Speaker 1: Ryan Tannehill. What they do with those three particular players

690
00:33:38,040 --> 00:33:43,280
Speaker 1: is going to impact that offense, no question. Well, obviously

691
00:33:43,360 --> 00:33:45,640
Speaker 1: talk about that all the way through the next couple

692
00:33:45,720 --> 00:33:48,680
Speaker 1: of weeks, because what they do is going to have

693
00:33:48,720 --> 00:33:51,480
Speaker 1: a huge domino effect not only throughout the DAFC South

694
00:33:51,520 --> 00:33:53,760
Speaker 1: and through the AFC and the NFL. So keep an

695
00:33:53,760 --> 00:33:56,480
Speaker 1: eye what the Titans are doing in the offseason. Okay,

696
00:33:56,480 --> 00:34:00,360
Speaker 1: we go around the league next. Even though we are

697
00:34:00,400 --> 00:34:03,480
Speaker 1: approaching the end of the league year, plenty of things

698
00:34:03,480 --> 00:34:06,760
Speaker 1: happening in this league and I will touch on all

699
00:34:06,760 --> 00:34:09,879
Speaker 1: of them next right here on Texans All Access. We've

700
00:34:09,920 --> 00:34:13,640
Speaker 1: got one final segment of this evening's Texans All Access

701
00:34:13,880 --> 00:34:17,800
Speaker 1: from Monday Texans a radio studio, and finally, my last

702
00:34:17,960 --> 00:34:20,720
Speaker 1: segment of the day, had four hours worth this morning

703
00:34:20,719 --> 00:34:23,400
Speaker 1: with Seth. Pay big ups to Seth for having me

704
00:34:23,440 --> 00:34:26,120
Speaker 1: on and really appreciate the time I got a chance.

705
00:34:26,200 --> 00:34:27,799
Speaker 1: But that was really fun and we got four more

706
00:34:27,840 --> 00:34:30,239
Speaker 1: days of it, so we're looking forward to that. Big

707
00:34:30,280 --> 00:34:32,919
Speaker 1: thanks to Dpe and to Amy Wells, and of course

708
00:34:32,960 --> 00:34:35,840
Speaker 1: to Drew for stopping by. It's time to go round

709
00:34:36,320 --> 00:34:40,600
Speaker 1: the NFL and there's plenty of action, and let's start

710
00:34:40,800 --> 00:34:45,959
Speaker 1: in Buffalo, where the Buffalo Bills agreed to a deal

711
00:34:46,880 --> 00:34:51,479
Speaker 1: with Josh Norman for six million dollars, a one year deal.

712
00:34:51,960 --> 00:34:54,080
Speaker 1: Six million dollars. I know people are thinking, wait a second.

713
00:34:54,120 --> 00:34:56,040
Speaker 1: I thought you couldn't sign anybody until the beginning of

714
00:34:56,040 --> 00:34:57,960
Speaker 1: the new league year. If a player has been waived.

715
00:34:58,000 --> 00:35:01,200
Speaker 1: Your cutters on the street, as they would say right now,

716
00:35:01,680 --> 00:35:05,320
Speaker 1: that player can sign anywhere for any amount of money

717
00:35:05,440 --> 00:35:08,400
Speaker 1: at any time. Josh Norman has done that. The Texans

718
00:35:08,400 --> 00:35:10,920
Speaker 1: did that with Sean Gibson last year. They signed him

719
00:35:10,920 --> 00:35:12,920
Speaker 1: before they got to the new league year because he

720
00:35:12,960 --> 00:35:16,080
Speaker 1: had been waived as a cape casualty from the Jacksonville Jaguars.

721
00:35:16,360 --> 00:35:21,240
Speaker 1: Norman that in Washington one year deal up to eight million,

722
00:35:21,280 --> 00:35:24,279
Speaker 1: signed for six can get incentives up to eight and

723
00:35:24,440 --> 00:35:27,440
Speaker 1: the corners are the Bills looking for a corner opposite

724
00:35:27,920 --> 00:35:31,120
Speaker 1: of Tradavious White. Now, if the Bills are getting the

725
00:35:31,360 --> 00:35:33,560
Speaker 1: Josh Norman of four years ago that we saw in

726
00:35:33,600 --> 00:35:36,239
Speaker 1: Carolina twenty fifteen, that'd be one thing. But that's why

727
00:35:36,239 --> 00:35:39,239
Speaker 1: they're only playing. They're paying six million dollars for a

728
00:35:39,280 --> 00:35:46,359
Speaker 1: guy you're hoping can get himself back into that sort

729
00:35:46,400 --> 00:35:49,040
Speaker 1: of form. But it's been a while. He has not

730
00:35:49,120 --> 00:35:52,759
Speaker 1: played exceedingly well since he joined Washington. Think the first

731
00:35:52,840 --> 00:35:55,880
Speaker 1: year Washington was okay. I think the next two years

732
00:35:56,000 --> 00:35:59,160
Speaker 1: and not so good. Of course, the Texans played the

733
00:35:59,160 --> 00:36:03,080
Speaker 1: Redskins in twenty eighteen, did what they wanted to, wasn't

734
00:36:03,160 --> 00:36:04,960
Speaker 1: as if Norman was shutting down one side of the

735
00:36:04,960 --> 00:36:07,600
Speaker 1: field like he did in twenty fifteen against the Texans.

736
00:36:07,800 --> 00:36:11,719
Speaker 1: But Josh Norman goes to the Buffalo Bills. I think

737
00:36:11,719 --> 00:36:13,440
Speaker 1: it's good move for the Bills. I don't know. There's

738
00:36:13,480 --> 00:36:16,080
Speaker 1: a whole lot you can be disappointed about there if

739
00:36:16,120 --> 00:36:18,160
Speaker 1: you're Josh Norman, and I think if you're the Buffalo Bills,

740
00:36:18,440 --> 00:36:19,800
Speaker 1: you tried it off for size. They did it with

741
00:36:19,880 --> 00:36:23,640
Speaker 1: Kevin Johnson at a very very very low cost. I

742
00:36:23,680 --> 00:36:26,640
Speaker 1: think he played. He played well for them. I don't

743
00:36:26,640 --> 00:36:28,680
Speaker 1: know if i'd say he was back to his twenty

744
00:36:28,680 --> 00:36:30,880
Speaker 1: fifteen twenty sixteen form like he was with the Texans,

745
00:36:31,080 --> 00:36:33,719
Speaker 1: but good enough. So you add Josh Norman to the mix.

746
00:36:34,960 --> 00:36:37,440
Speaker 1: Kevin I think was a one year deal. So Norman

747
00:36:37,480 --> 00:36:40,520
Speaker 1: steps in and they'll see what they have. I don't

748
00:36:40,560 --> 00:36:43,520
Speaker 1: think anything's guaranteed there, so away you go. Austin Eckler,

749
00:36:44,640 --> 00:36:47,040
Speaker 1: who I Drew and I were talking about the first segment,

750
00:36:47,400 --> 00:36:51,480
Speaker 1: signed for five thousand dollars as an undrafted free agent.

751
00:36:52,120 --> 00:36:57,440
Speaker 1: He then signed in twenty seventeen. I believe seventeen twenty

752
00:36:57,480 --> 00:37:02,040
Speaker 1: sixteen he is now going to make twenty four point

753
00:37:02,160 --> 00:37:08,040
Speaker 1: five million dollars over the next four years. Yeah, he

754
00:37:08,080 --> 00:37:11,200
Speaker 1: signed seventeen because he's there for three years. So congratulations

755
00:37:11,280 --> 00:37:12,879
Speaker 1: Austin Eckler. And if you want to wait a second,

756
00:37:12,920 --> 00:37:16,240
Speaker 1: how does that impact the Texans, Well, it kind of doesn't,

757
00:37:16,440 --> 00:37:19,600
Speaker 1: and it does indirectly. It might depending on if the

758
00:37:19,600 --> 00:37:22,160
Speaker 1: Texans are looking at running backs in this free agent class.

759
00:37:22,560 --> 00:37:26,600
Speaker 1: Now you know, the even kind into the baseline of

760
00:37:26,680 --> 00:37:29,680
Speaker 1: what contracts are going for. What Austin Eckler four years,

761
00:37:29,680 --> 00:37:32,560
Speaker 1: twenty four and a half million dollars, had a tremendous

762
00:37:32,640 --> 00:37:36,839
Speaker 1: year in twenty nineteen, and I think, I don't want

763
00:37:36,840 --> 00:37:39,600
Speaker 1: to say hometown discount in some sense, but maybe got

764
00:37:39,719 --> 00:37:44,120
Speaker 1: him on the cheap a little bit. Eight starts, ran

765
00:37:44,239 --> 00:37:46,480
Speaker 1: for five hundred and fifty seven rushing yard. But here's

766
00:37:46,480 --> 00:37:49,720
Speaker 1: the killer. He had ninety two receptions for nine hundred

767
00:37:49,719 --> 00:37:55,319
Speaker 1: and ninety three receiving yards and eight touchdowns. Wow, that's

768
00:37:55,320 --> 00:37:57,880
Speaker 1: an amazing year. So I think Chargers are kind of

769
00:37:57,920 --> 00:38:01,319
Speaker 1: buying on the upswing with Austin Eckler. Good job for

770
00:38:01,400 --> 00:38:05,279
Speaker 1: him to be able to get that money and do

771
00:38:05,480 --> 00:38:11,800
Speaker 1: something with it. Now, the next piece of news comes

772
00:38:11,960 --> 00:38:15,680
Speaker 1: from Tom Brady, and it's not what you would think

773
00:38:15,680 --> 00:38:19,200
Speaker 1: this is sort of a two parter. You will. This

774
00:38:19,239 --> 00:38:22,480
Speaker 1: morning on Sirius XM NFL Radio, Charlie Weiss said he

775
00:38:22,480 --> 00:38:25,080
Speaker 1: had spoken to Tom Brady and he said, I'm gonna

776
00:38:25,080 --> 00:38:29,720
Speaker 1: break some news. Here's the news. There is none straight

777
00:38:29,719 --> 00:38:34,040
Speaker 1: from Tom Brady's mouth, So I guess no news is news,

778
00:38:34,080 --> 00:38:38,760
Speaker 1: I guess. Anyways, with all the speculation, Tom Brady apparently

779
00:38:38,760 --> 00:38:44,040
Speaker 1: told Charlie Weiss, nobody knows anything quote unquote. The only

780
00:38:44,080 --> 00:38:47,040
Speaker 1: thing we truly know about Tom Brady at this point

781
00:38:47,320 --> 00:38:49,560
Speaker 1: is the second part of the news is that he

782
00:38:49,640 --> 00:38:55,719
Speaker 1: is launching a new quote unquote content company. It will

Speaker 1: Brady was the one hundred and ninety nine pick in

786
00:39:05,400 --> 00:39:09,920
Speaker 1: the two thousand draft. And he is creating a studio

787

00:39:42,440 --> 00:39:47,239
Speaker 1: putting it out there, starting his own production company and

794
00:39:47,400 --> 00:39:52,880
Speaker 1: this will be in Los Angeles. Make of that what

795
00:39:53,160 --> 00:39:57,560
Speaker 1: you will with Tom Brady creating a production company back

796
00:39:57,760 --> 00:40:01,919
Speaker 1: in his home state. Now he is from northern California,

797
00:40:02,200 --> 00:40:06,120
Speaker 1: not southern California. But you can take that for what

798
00:40:06,160 --> 00:40:09,880
Speaker 1: it is, all right. Your daily CBA update. The nfl

799
00:40:10,000 --> 00:40:15,040
Speaker 1: PA announced today that they are keeping the window for

800
00:40:15,200 --> 00:40:22,160
Speaker 1: voting open until Saturday, March fourteenth, at eleven fifty nine

801
00:40:22,200 --> 00:40:25,520
Speaker 1: pm Eastern times, ten fifty nine here, or once we

802
00:40:25,520 --> 00:40:29,200
Speaker 1: get to eleven o'clock, we should know whether the CBA

803
00:40:29,280 --> 00:40:32,799
Speaker 1: has been approved by the players. There's been some moving

804
00:40:32,800 --> 00:40:37,160
Speaker 1: and shaking in the CBA discussion, maybe not so much

805
00:40:37,160 --> 00:40:39,640
Speaker 1: to the players saying yesterday saying no. Can read a

806
00:40:39,680 --> 00:40:42,600
Speaker 1: lot of that stuff on Twitter what players are saying no,

807
00:40:42,719 --> 00:40:44,719
Speaker 1: Which players are saying, Yeah, I think it's a good deal.

808
00:40:45,960 --> 00:40:49,600
Speaker 1: There's been obviously some resistance to it. The Steelers had

809
00:40:49,640 --> 00:40:52,600
Speaker 1: resistance to it. Then you've seen plenty of players saying, yeah,

810
00:40:52,640 --> 00:40:55,600
Speaker 1: I think it's a good deal. They'd say they'd soldier saying, hey, guys,

811
00:40:55,640 --> 00:40:58,520
Speaker 1: I think this is a pretty good deal. So Jeremy

812
00:40:58,520 --> 00:41:01,239
Speaker 1: Filer from ESPN over the week and say there are

813
00:41:01,239 --> 00:41:04,480
Speaker 1: some owners saying that if this they want this deal

814
00:41:04,520 --> 00:41:06,839
Speaker 1: to get turned down by the players, because then they

815
00:41:06,880 --> 00:41:10,560
Speaker 1: will fire back. The owners will with eighteen game schedule,

816
00:41:11,280 --> 00:41:17,200
Speaker 1: which whoa okay? Then, oh boy, Now, as I saw

817
00:41:17,760 --> 00:41:20,719
Speaker 1: written many times, this is March twenty twenty not March

818
00:41:20,760 --> 00:41:25,880
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one. So players could obviously say yes, no question.

819
00:41:25,880 --> 00:41:28,520
Speaker 1: They could say yes, they would have a CBA we know,

820
00:41:28,600 --> 00:41:31,040
Speaker 1: avoid a lockout or strike or whether the case might be.

821
00:41:31,840 --> 00:41:36,600
Speaker 1: But there's some and some retired players too, saying, wait

822
00:41:36,640 --> 00:41:38,799
Speaker 1: a second, you don't. You don't have to say yes

823
00:41:38,840 --> 00:41:41,520
Speaker 1: to this deal. You can negotiate a few things if

824
00:41:41,560 --> 00:41:44,160
Speaker 1: you want, Hey, get a couple of these things changed.

825
00:41:44,400 --> 00:41:48,120
Speaker 1: The biggest point of contention, it appears, is the seventeen

826
00:41:48,200 --> 00:41:52,759
Speaker 1: game schedule, as I think we all expected, and I

827
00:41:52,760 --> 00:41:54,680
Speaker 1: think even more resistance too. Hey, if we are gonna

828
00:41:54,680 --> 00:41:57,200
Speaker 1: play seventeen, we need a bigger piece of the pie.

829
00:41:57,320 --> 00:42:00,920
Speaker 1: If you will, so that is your deal, see me.

830
00:42:01,200 --> 00:42:07,440
Speaker 1: A update mentioned earlier that the AFC South made a

831
00:42:07,520 --> 00:42:11,279
Speaker 1: donation of one hundred thousand dollars to help support the

832
00:42:11,480 --> 00:42:15,120
Speaker 1: Middle Tennessee communities that were impacted by the tornadoes that

833
00:42:15,160 --> 00:42:19,080
Speaker 1: went through their last week. Just a tragic situation in Tennessee.

834
00:42:19,160 --> 00:42:21,520
Speaker 1: Nashville's one of my favorite places to go and hated

835
00:42:21,600 --> 00:42:23,960
Speaker 1: seeing that happened. Yeah, I don't like the Titans in

836
00:42:24,040 --> 00:42:27,680
Speaker 1: a sports hate sort of way, but hate seeing that

837
00:42:27,760 --> 00:42:31,080
Speaker 1: happen as they did with Hurricane Harvey with us. So

838
00:42:31,280 --> 00:42:34,040
Speaker 1: there you go a little bit around the NFL. Will

839
00:42:34,080 --> 00:42:37,400
Speaker 1: do more of that tomorrow as more things are happening

840
00:42:37,800 --> 00:42:41,279
Speaker 1: leading up to the end of the twenty nineteen league year.

841
00:42:41,320 --> 00:42:44,440
Speaker 1: Big thanks to DP, to Drew, to tighten Amy Amy,

842
00:42:44,480 --> 00:42:47,120
Speaker 1: wells to all of you for listening. We'll see tomorrow everybody,

843
00:42:47,120 --> 00:42:48,320
Speaker 1: and there's always go Texans.
