1
00:00:01,920 --> 00:00:04,120
Speaker 1: Hey everybody, hm Will Silva dying. These are your few

2
00:00:04,160 --> 00:00:08,160
Speaker 1: morning football headlines from NFL Network. One year after they

3
00:00:08,240 --> 00:00:11,040
Speaker 1: tried to hire Nick Sarrio away from the Patriots, the

4
00:00:11,119 --> 00:00:15,200
Speaker 1: Texans and finally got their man, NFL Networks ian Rapper forty,

5
00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:18,479
Speaker 1: Tom Pella Sarah Both reporting Cassario has agreed to a

6
00:00:18,560 --> 00:00:21,680
Speaker 1: deal to become Houston's next general manager. The forty five

7
00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:24,400
Speaker 1: year old was New England's director of Player First Nelson's

8
00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:26,760
Speaker 1: two thousand and eight. He's been with the team through

9
00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:29,920
Speaker 1: all six sort of Super Bowl titles. A clause in

10
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:34,599
Speaker 1: Cassio's contract prevented him from joining Houston last season. Assario

11
00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:37,440
Speaker 1: is replacing Bill O'Brien, who was fired as the Texans

12
00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:41,960
Speaker 1: head coach and GM back in October. Elsewhere, the Browns

13
00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:45,919
Speaker 1: won't have head coach Kevin Stefanski for Sunny's playoff game

14
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:49,880
Speaker 1: at the Steelers. He tested positive for COVID nineteen along

15
00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:53,960
Speaker 1: with Pro Bowl guard Joel Patonio and receiver Cardero Hodge,

16
00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:58,040
Speaker 1: so all three are out. Special teams coordinator Mike Creeper

17
00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:00,360
Speaker 1: is going to serve as the acting pig coach, and

18
00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:03,840
Speaker 1: Browns up ins coordinator Alex Danfeldt, who called plays in

19
00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:06,640
Speaker 1: Trenning camp and was supposed to call them at times

20
00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:10,039
Speaker 1: in a preseason game that never occurred, would be the

21
00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:14,040
Speaker 1: offensive play caller against Pittsburgh. This growing to NFL Networks

22
00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:18,680
Speaker 1: Mike Gareth Folow and a potentially big loss for the Seahawks.

23
00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:22,760
Speaker 1: Safety Jamal Adams did not practice Tuesday after injuring his

24
00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:26,399
Speaker 1: shoulder and hand last week, in coach Pete Carroll saying

25
00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:31,080
Speaker 1: Adams maybe a game time decisions Saturday against the Rams.

26
00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:35,920
Speaker 1: Another interesting storyline to following one of the NFC's super

27
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:39,720
Speaker 1: well called slate because Alex Smith, who is still nursing

28
00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:43,080
Speaker 1: a strange half ahead of the Washington football team's game

29
00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:46,240
Speaker 1: against the Bucks, head coach Ron Rivera saying they might

30
00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:51,240
Speaker 1: turn to a unique solution rotating between Smith and backup

31
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:54,560
Speaker 1: Taylor Heineke. Honestly, the thing that we have to be

32
00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:57,120
Speaker 1: willing to do and we have to really think about,

33
00:01:57,240 --> 00:02:00,440
Speaker 1: is whether or not to rotate him in and out

34
00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:03,760
Speaker 1: with Taylor. I mean, we have to definitely look at that.

35
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:06,120
Speaker 1: You know, it's I mean, there's nothing you can do,

36
00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:08,240
Speaker 1: but I mean that's the truth of the matter. We're

37
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:11,519
Speaker 1: going to play a very aggressive defense this week, and

38
00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:13,320
Speaker 1: you know, obviously it's something we most alrealy have to

39
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:16,800
Speaker 1: look at switching to another NFC East team that's dealt

40
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:20,560
Speaker 1: with a lot of adversity this year. Cowboys, the team

41
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:24,160
Speaker 1: finishing six and ten. Owner Jerry Jones trying to make

42
00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:27,560
Speaker 1: sense of the team's first season with double digit losses.

43
00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:32,160
Speaker 1: It's two thou and fifteen. We fell far short of

44
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:38,280
Speaker 1: what I thought our team would accomplish. I totally underestimated

45
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:43,920
Speaker 1: the impact of not being with the team early through

46
00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:47,720
Speaker 1: the spring and through the training camp, with the change

47
00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:51,400
Speaker 1: in coaching, especially on the defensive side of the line,

48
00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:55,400
Speaker 1: change in technique, to change in philosophy there. You know,

49
00:02:55,480 --> 00:03:00,440
Speaker 1: I really missed it relative to how important it might

50
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:05,120
Speaker 1: be to stay hitched with the same overall philosophy that

51
00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:08,560
Speaker 1: one's on me over in the ANC the Colts. Philip

52
00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:12,880
Speaker 1: Rivers has most games past yards and passing touchdowns among

53
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:16,440
Speaker 1: all qbs to never win a Super Bowl. The closest

54
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:18,919
Speaker 1: he made it two Super Bowl was the two thousand

55
00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:22,680
Speaker 1: and seven Ancy Championship Game loss at New Wngland. Hey, Philip,

56
00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:27,040
Speaker 1: is Winglew Bartie Trophy your primary mission right now? Yes,

57
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:28,840
Speaker 1: it is that the ultimate goal this year and right

58
00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:31,040
Speaker 1: now as we sit here, no question it is. But

59
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:33,800
Speaker 1: I don't, I don't. I don't carry that with me,

60
00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:37,680
Speaker 1: uh day to day that you know, man played sixteen years,

61
00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:40,119
Speaker 1: never never been a you know, part of a championship.

62
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:43,040
Speaker 1: I don't, I really don't. Um. We strive for it,

63
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:45,000
Speaker 1: strive for it every year and striving for it like

64
00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:48,040
Speaker 1: crazy this year. But it's not something I feel heavy

65
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:51,320
Speaker 1: or something that's something I'm carrying around with the shoot.

66
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:54,560
Speaker 1: It's a new new, uh new new beginning every day

67
00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:57,680
Speaker 1: and excited for each challenging opportunity. Of course, the NFL

68
