I'm 9 00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:30,240 Speaker 1: giving you the Harris one hundred and I also did 10 00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:32,959 Speaker 1: a first round mock draft, so I've got a bunch 11 00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:36,320 Speaker 1: of everything for you ready to go. Enjoining me to 12 00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:39,040 Speaker 1: talk about some of that, some of this, some of that. 13 00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:41,920 Speaker 1: My man, the voice of Texas, Mark Van r Mark, 14 00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:44,320 Speaker 1: how are you doing this Friday? Johnny? I'm doing great. 15 00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:47,400 Speaker 1: I mean, we have march upon us while it's here. 16 00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:49,520 Speaker 1: It's not upon us. I mean, you don't say upon 17 00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:52,480 Speaker 1: us when it's already here. But I'm just thinking about 18 00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:56,080 Speaker 1: free agency getting started, because you know, the legal tampering 19 00:00:56,160 --> 00:00:59,200 Speaker 1: starts before the actual data. Free agency, which is March 20 00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:02,600 Speaker 1: seventeenth with a league year begins. So this really means 21 00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:06,160 Speaker 1: that a week from Sunday or Monday. Stuff's just gonna 22 00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:09,800 Speaker 1: start flying with all these acquisitions teams are gonna make. 23 00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:12,840 Speaker 1: And I think that the cuts because we keep hearing 24 00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:14,960 Speaker 1: about more and more cuts. We've had some already, not 25 00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:17,520 Speaker 1: just with the Texans but with other teams as they're 26 00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:20,600 Speaker 1: gonna cut names, you know, because of the cap situation. 27 00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:22,440 Speaker 1: We're going to get a lot of that in the 28 00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:25,720 Speaker 1: next week. So get ready. It's happening all around the league, 29 00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:28,360 Speaker 1: and I think people have been ready. The NFL hot 30 00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:33,119 Speaker 1: stove is always very very piping hot. Well, we talked 31 00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:36,240 Speaker 1: to John last night about that. Diana or senior I 32 00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:39,480 Speaker 1: believe it was from ESPN had spoken to NFL and 33 00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:42,520 Speaker 1: coach and the head coach said it's going to be 34 00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:45,759 Speaker 1: a quote unquote blood bath coming up with the cuts, etc. 35 00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:48,800 Speaker 1: And then we talked about that with John McClain last night. 36 00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:51,280 Speaker 1: And one of the teams that we brought up, in fact, 37 00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:54,480 Speaker 1: that's the one team with the least amount of cap room, 38 00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:57,200 Speaker 1: the most amount of negative cap room, that's the Saints. 39 00:01:57,200 --> 00:02:01,720 Speaker 1: And right after we got done, go to Twitter and 40 00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:05,520 Speaker 1: I see Thomas Morstead, long time punter for the Saints out. 41 00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:08,920 Speaker 1: We're gonna see a number of names, like you said, 42 00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:11,919 Speaker 1: names you know that are going to be eighty six 43 00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:15,320 Speaker 1: from a lot of teams now at this point now 44 00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:18,120 Speaker 1: based on where the cap is going to be, and 45 00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:23,400 Speaker 1: that's still sort of in limbo, right the floor has 46 00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:25,320 Speaker 1: one seventy five. There's a lot of thought it's gonna 47 00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:28,960 Speaker 1: be like one eighty three somewhere in that mix. The 48 00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:33,400 Speaker 1: Texans are in up a great cap situation, but they're 49 00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:37,160 Speaker 1: not in the States situation, So they're gonna have I think, 50 00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:41,239 Speaker 1: an opportunity to go out and maybe sign a free 51 00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:43,640 Speaker 1: agent or two. They're not sitting there with Jags or 52 00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:46,280 Speaker 1: Colts or Browns. I think the Browns have got some 53 00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:48,800 Speaker 1: good cap money as well. But there are a number 54 00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:56,440 Speaker 1: of teams mark that COVID creating this difficult financial situation 55 00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:59,600 Speaker 1: for teams. There were teams that weren't banking on that 56 00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:03,240 Speaker 1: all and now they're having to pay the piper. And 57 00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:07,560 Speaker 1: it's gonna be really really interesting to watch as we 58 00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:10,960 Speaker 1: get as we get a little bit closer, because we're 59 00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:13,520 Speaker 1: what today's March fifth, like you said, New League gear 60 00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:16,919 Speaker 1: starts the seventeenth tampering legal tampering. It started a couple 61 00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:20,239 Speaker 1: of days before that, so, oh boy, all right, we 62 00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:22,320 Speaker 1: got a lot of things to do tonight. Next segment, 63 00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:25,080 Speaker 1: we're gonna do either or. So I've been thinking about 64 00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:27,920 Speaker 1: these for some reason. Today I was driving around and 65 00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:29,480 Speaker 1: I thought of something. I was like, Man, there would 66 00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:32,040 Speaker 1: be good to ask Mark. So I got some either ors. 67 00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:34,399 Speaker 1: I think you'll like them. Make you think a little bit. 68 00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:37,720 Speaker 1: Last segment of the show, the Texans are picking right 69 00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:41,960 Speaker 1: now at number sixty seven in my Harris one hundred. 70 00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:47,320 Speaker 1: What players could that possibly relate to? The player at 71 00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:49,680 Speaker 1: number sixty seven I would really like. But the ones 72 00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:51,560 Speaker 1: a little bit above and a little bit below there's 73 00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:54,240 Speaker 1: something that I like. So we'll get into those later 74 00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:57,880 Speaker 1: in the show as well. But Mark, I saw today 75 00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:04,640 Speaker 1: that the season's members got their packages from the Houston Texans, 76 00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:08,720 Speaker 1: and it got me thinking about the twenty twenty one 77 00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:12,360 Speaker 1: home opponents. Now, we don't know preseason, so we don't 78 00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:16,120 Speaker 1: know that. But if things turn out the way that 79 00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:18,800 Speaker 1: we have been talking about that we have heard through 80 00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:21,800 Speaker 1: the grapevine, heard in our building a little bit, the 81 00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:28,320 Speaker 1: Texans will presumably play nine regular season home games, one 82 00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:33,440 Speaker 1: preseason game that will have changed the following year. Then 83 00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:36,280 Speaker 1: it will be two preseason games and eight regular season games. 84 00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:38,360 Speaker 1: Either way, you're gonna get ten games at home, ten 85 00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:43,720 Speaker 1: games on the road as it sits right now. Of 86 00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:48,720 Speaker 1: those twenty twenty one opponents, we get both LA teams. 87 00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:54,400 Speaker 1: I mean, I'd swap right now Cleveland at home and 88 00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:56,880 Speaker 1: one of those LA teams on the road. I'd much 89 00:04:57,000 --> 00:05:01,120 Speaker 1: rather have that have to go back to Cleveland again. Ah, 90 00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:03,120 Speaker 1: but I'd much rather go see Sofi Stadium. But we 91 00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:07,760 Speaker 1: get not one, but two LA teams Seattle, we get 92 00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:10,360 Speaker 1: division teams, and then we get the AFC east of 93 00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:16,680 Speaker 1: New England and the Jets and presumably the Carolina Panthers. Now, 94 00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:19,159 Speaker 1: as I look at that list, and I'm sitting there going, WHOA, 95 00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:23,520 Speaker 1: what's the one thing? There are a few things, But 96 00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:26,000 Speaker 1: when you look at a list and you look at 97 00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:29,000 Speaker 1: the teams you're playing, the first thing that I think about, 98 00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:36,080 Speaker 1: what quarterbacks are you facing? When I look at that list, Mark, 99 00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:41,279 Speaker 1: what quarterback presumably to start for those teams scares you 100 00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:45,360 Speaker 1: the most? If it's not Russell Wilson. Oh, you had 101 00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:48,360 Speaker 1: to say, if it's not Russell Wilson. Yeah, of course, 102 00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:52,159 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna say this is the scariest, but Matthew 103 00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:56,360 Speaker 1: Stafford with the Rams could be pretty frightening because now 104 00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:59,799 Speaker 1: he's got mcvada work with, and in that system, everybody 105 00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:02,000 Speaker 1: thinks it's gonna be really good. Now Stafford has to 106 00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:03,960 Speaker 1: put up big numbers in Detroit over the years, only 107 00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:05,960 Speaker 1: four winning seasons since two thousand and nine when he 108 00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:07,840 Speaker 1: came into the league, so that's been a big problem 109 00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:11,360 Speaker 1: for them and him. But he's a well liked guy. Johnny. 110 00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:13,000 Speaker 1: A lot of his Detroit teammates are saying they want 111 00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:15,840 Speaker 1: him to win a Super Bowl with the Rams, and 112 00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:18,479 Speaker 1: that's really got to make Jared Goffeel horrible as he 113 00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:21,760 Speaker 1: walks before. It doesn't it in Detroit like, Hi, guys, 114 00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:23,120 Speaker 1: I'm here, I'm here to play with you. We want 115 00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:25,320 Speaker 1: to win a championship. Yeah, we're working for Matthew Stafford. 116 00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:27,919 Speaker 1: But he plays for the team that just shipped me 117 00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:29,919 Speaker 1: off with this huge contract. Just want to get rid 118 00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:33,280 Speaker 1: of me. So look Stafford as well, Like he's good. 119 00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:37,240 Speaker 1: I think Stafford in the Rams context is going to 120 00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:41,560 Speaker 1: be really tough to deal with. Herbert is pretty scary, right, yeah. 121 00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:43,839 Speaker 1: I mean, you know you said both LA teams and 122 00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:46,200 Speaker 1: I think it's funny because you know, a decade ago, 123 00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:49,000 Speaker 1: you'd be like, well, who are they? Because the Chargers 124 00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:51,359 Speaker 1: play in San Diego and the Rams play in Saint Louis. 125 00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:54,200 Speaker 1: But that's where we are today with both LA teams. 126 00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:57,839 Speaker 1: Ryan Tannehill, as tough as the Titans are as a team, 127 00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:01,920 Speaker 1: doesn't scare me more than those other quarterbacks. And let's 128 00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:04,240 Speaker 1: see who else do we have to work with here? 129 00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:06,600 Speaker 1: The Jets are coming in? Yeah, the Jets are coming in? 130 00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:10,880 Speaker 1: Is that Sam Darnel is there? Zach Wilson is the 131 00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:13,880 Speaker 1: rookies at somebody else? And the Jets are there for 132 00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:15,680 Speaker 1: another kind of show. We would have another thing to 133 00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:18,600 Speaker 1: say about that, perhaps, Yeah, but we won't. And this 134 00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:22,240 Speaker 1: isn't that kind of show. And then you got the Patriots. Yeah, 135 00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:25,880 Speaker 1: complete mystery. You know, that's a total mystery. And Johnny 136 00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:29,200 Speaker 1: on the national level, I've seen some talk about would 137 00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:31,640 Speaker 1: Jim go back to New England? Would they want him back? 138 00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:34,960 Speaker 1: But you've seen very little talk about the Patriots, which 139 00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:37,800 Speaker 1: is really what I predicted. As soon as this team 140 00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:41,880 Speaker 1: stops winning, Yeah, they just fall off the table, like 141 00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:46,200 Speaker 1: and they have a tremendous national brand, but it was 142 00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:50,000 Speaker 1: all held up by actual winning and before people roll 143 00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:52,720 Speaker 1: their eyes at me. Stay with me on this. The 144 00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:55,920 Speaker 1: Steelers brand kind of holds up at eight and eight, 145 00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:59,040 Speaker 1: you know what I mean, it holds up. The forty 146 00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:01,160 Speaker 1: nine is brand not so much because they've just they've 147 00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:03,080 Speaker 1: driven it into the ground Despike going to the Super 148 00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:05,400 Speaker 1: Bowl in twenty twelve and going a couple of years ago. 149 00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:08,040 Speaker 1: They still don't really have it going last year, actually 150 00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:14,640 Speaker 1: last offseason. Let's see who else. The Cowboys obviously that brand. 151 00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:18,200 Speaker 1: They haven't done anything for a quarter century, right, I mean, 152 00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:21,280 Speaker 1: the Texans have more playoff wins than the Cowboys do 153 00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:23,920 Speaker 1: since the Texans came into the league. Think about that 154 00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:26,840 Speaker 1: for a moment. Leadies and gentlemen more playoff wins than 155 00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:30,280 Speaker 1: the Cowboys since the Cowboys or since the Texans have 156 00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:34,560 Speaker 1: come into the league and the Texans, you know, you 157 00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:37,440 Speaker 1: think about division championships and things like that. Neither team 158 00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:39,560 Speaker 1: has gone past the divisional round. I just thought it 159 00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:42,040 Speaker 1: was worth mentioning at distance becular point in time. But 160 00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:44,839 Speaker 1: the Patriots brand does not hold up. I think it's 161 00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:47,200 Speaker 1: really interesting to see and think about what they're going 162 00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:49,400 Speaker 1: to do at quarterback. You know, what does Bill Belichick 163 00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:51,559 Speaker 1: have up as sleeve for quarterback. And I don't know 164 00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:53,520 Speaker 1: if he knows right now, but obviously they've got it 165 00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:55,120 Speaker 1: on a big white board and they're talking about all 166 00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:58,520 Speaker 1: the possibilities. That one's going to be really interesting to me. 167 00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:02,000 Speaker 1: You could see a y in New England, could see 168 00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:04,800 Speaker 1: a rookie with the Jets. You're definitely gonna see a 169 00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:08,040 Speaker 1: rookie with Jacksonville. You'll see a second year guy with 170 00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:13,000 Speaker 1: the Chargers. You're probably gonna see a rookie with Carolina. 171 00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:18,400 Speaker 1: So at home, you have the possibility facing one, two, three, 172 00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:25,240 Speaker 1: four rookies and one second year guy. That's amazing to 173 00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:29,040 Speaker 1: think about where we've had years where the quarterbacks we 174 00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:32,000 Speaker 1: faced like, oh, what was the year? Was it sixteen? 175 00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:34,840 Speaker 1: I think it was sixteen, where we faced every big 176 00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:37,600 Speaker 1: time quarterback that you could possibly face in the league. 177 00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:41,000 Speaker 1: It was like, oh, make it like make it stop 178 00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:45,040 Speaker 1: because it was Rivers and Rogers and that Derek Carr 179 00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:48,800 Speaker 1: was hot. In twenty sixteen. We hated every one of them. 180 00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:50,880 Speaker 1: And then you look up and go and you just 181 00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:54,320 Speaker 1: mentioned it. The most dangerous guy is probably one that 182 00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:56,360 Speaker 1: doesn't scare you all that much, and that's Tanny Hill. 183 00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:00,559 Speaker 1: He's probably the most dangerous one of the that list, 184 00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:04,120 Speaker 1: especially the way that he's played at NRG against you 185 00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:06,559 Speaker 1: the last couple of times. Everybody talks about Derek Henry 186 00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:09,960 Speaker 1: and for good reason. But in those games, Ryan Tannehill 187 00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:13,160 Speaker 1: made the plays that killed you. That those that's what's 188 00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:15,160 Speaker 1: killed you. But you got a possibility of facing four 189 00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:18,360 Speaker 1: rookies and a second year guy. Now that can be 190 00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:20,440 Speaker 1: good or bad. I mean, twenty eighteen, you face Baker 191 00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:22,480 Speaker 1: Mayfield and you intercepted him three times in the first 192 00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:26,600 Speaker 1: half and that was pretty much ball game. But we'll see. 193 00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:33,079 Speaker 1: But Mark, from a from a quarterback standpoint, yeah, this 194 00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:38,600 Speaker 1: home schedule really is not gonna not really gonna knock 195 00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:40,439 Speaker 1: you over. I do like the fact that there's a 196 00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:43,240 Speaker 1: ninth game though. I like that that's gonna be interesting. 197 00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:46,559 Speaker 1: But I think you know, you don't have these established 198 00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:49,079 Speaker 1: guys necessarily you pointed out the rookies, but you have 199 00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:51,560 Speaker 1: a lot of exciting players. I mean, I'm excited to 200 00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:54,480 Speaker 1: see Justin Herbert come in. I'm excited to see Trevor 201 00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:57,359 Speaker 1: Lawrence if it's stim But then you look at Carolina 202 00:10:57,400 --> 00:11:01,600 Speaker 1: for instance, Johnny Carolina, the Jet These are teams you mentioned, 203 00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:03,680 Speaker 1: the Patriots, they don't know where their quarterback is going 204 00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:06,240 Speaker 1: to be right now, they cannot name their opening day starter, 205 00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:08,520 Speaker 1: And look, I know this is Texans Radio, but I 206 00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:11,520 Speaker 1: just gotta be honest here, I can't name our opening 207 00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:15,040 Speaker 1: day starter either because of what's happening with the Shawn, Right. 208 00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:16,800 Speaker 1: Is he gonna be here? Is he not gonna be here? 209 00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:18,079 Speaker 1: I mean? And when I say be here, I'm not 210 00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:19,920 Speaker 1: even talking about trade. I'm talking about is he going 211 00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:23,040 Speaker 1: to play? Because obviously we all know what's going on 212 00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:25,360 Speaker 1: and read the reports and everything. And one thing that 213 00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:27,320 Speaker 1: really bothers me about this, by the way, is that 214 00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:30,480 Speaker 1: everything we hear about him is stuff we hear about him. 215 00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:32,880 Speaker 1: We don't hear it from him, right, We don't hear 216 00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:35,199 Speaker 1: it from him directly that yeah, I'm not gonna play, 217 00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:37,280 Speaker 1: or I'm gonna sit, or I'm gonna do whatever I'm 218 00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:39,199 Speaker 1: gonna do. Right. I don't want to put words into 219 00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:42,480 Speaker 1: his mouth because we're just getting reports and leaks and things. 220 00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:45,560 Speaker 1: I just would love to have this all flesh out 221 00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:47,920 Speaker 1: and have him come out with it, whatever it is, 222 00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:49,559 Speaker 1: you know, And I would hope that they continue to 223 00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:51,760 Speaker 1: communicate and along those lines. I know, I don't want 224 00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:54,559 Speaker 1: to go off on a tangent here. But I suggest 225 00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:57,360 Speaker 1: to Nick, you know, I can round up a band 226 00:11:57,400 --> 00:11:59,800 Speaker 1: if we could play in front of his house. Although 227 00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:03,360 Speaker 1: that might drive him away, I can, I know what 228 00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:06,320 Speaker 1: you do? You know, no real singers you know, or 229 00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:10,199 Speaker 1: somebody or you know, get Travis Scott and his buddies 230 00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:11,840 Speaker 1: to go over there and do a show right in 231 00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:13,800 Speaker 1: front of his house and say we want you, we 232 00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:16,160 Speaker 1: wanted to play, wanted to be, you know, part of 233 00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:19,080 Speaker 1: the mix here in training camp, off season program, whatever. Anyway, 234 00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:20,560 Speaker 1: let's hope for the best there. But yeah, you have 235 00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:23,080 Speaker 1: a lot of teams on this home schedule you mentioned 236 00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:26,400 Speaker 1: with the nine games that you know can't really name 237 00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:29,679 Speaker 1: their starter on opening date, And I think that's fascinating stuff, 238 00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:32,600 Speaker 1: but it doesn't take away from the excitement. It's the NFL. Cool, 239 00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:35,720 Speaker 1: exciting things happen, and you just don't know what's gonna 240 00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:38,439 Speaker 1: occur with some of these squads like CAROLINEA, the Jets, 241 00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:42,559 Speaker 1: New England, etc. Fascinated to think about. But if rookies 242 00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:46,480 Speaker 1: take over those places we mentioned, outside of Russell Wilson, 243 00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:49,320 Speaker 1: there's only one quarterback with a playoff win on that 244 00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:52,760 Speaker 1: home game schedule, that's Ryan Tannehill. I'll let's chew on 245 00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:55,920 Speaker 1: that a little bit as we get ready for our 246 00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:58,719 Speaker 1: next segment. It's gonna be fun. I call it Either Or. 247 00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:02,640 Speaker 1: I present a six marked and has to answer. This 248 00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:04,520 Speaker 1: is gonna be tough. This is gonna be like picking 249 00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:07,800 Speaker 1: between Pippa and vander Kidd one and two. We'll do 250 00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:13,080 Speaker 1: that next. From Texans All Access Access Access. Welcome back 251 00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:15,000 Speaker 1: to this Friday edition to Texas All Access from the 252 00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:18,640 Speaker 1: Hunday Texans Radio Studio. I am John Harris. That is 253 00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:24,719 Speaker 1: Mark Vandermir and it is time for Either Or. It's 254 00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:28,320 Speaker 1: a segment that I created with Sean Pendergast about eleven 255 00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:30,640 Speaker 1: years ago. I love it, and it's just to present 256 00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:35,720 Speaker 1: a situation and really to put the the opposite party, 257 00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:38,520 Speaker 1: in this case Mark Vandermir on the spot and make 258 00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:41,240 Speaker 1: him think. And Mark, I have got some good ones 259 00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:46,480 Speaker 1: for you. Do you want to start a Texans related 260 00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:50,160 Speaker 1: one or a non Texans one, or it's an NFL one. 261 00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:52,840 Speaker 1: Let's let's do non Texans and work our way up. 262 00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:55,400 Speaker 1: We'll start with the appetizers then get to the main course. 263 00:13:55,679 --> 00:14:04,280 Speaker 1: Okay you oh, here we go, one road trip, one 264 00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:08,720 Speaker 1: road game. Do you want to go to either London 265 00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:16,600 Speaker 1: or Los Angeles, one road trip, one road game? Is it? 266 00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:19,080 Speaker 1: Is it a COVID free life at this point in 267 00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:24,120 Speaker 1: this free life, either London or Los Angeles. You get 268 00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:26,760 Speaker 1: three days lead up to the game, and you get 269 00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:30,440 Speaker 1: the game. Then you come back London or Los Angeles. 270 00:14:31,160 --> 00:14:33,840 Speaker 1: You know, right now, I'd probably say London because it's 271 00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:37,600 Speaker 1: not November or something and I'm not fried from you know, 272 00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:41,400 Speaker 1: ten games of you know, season, Because you know how 273 00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:44,080 Speaker 1: we felt going to London. We were sort of not 274 00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:47,040 Speaker 1: kicking and screaming. It's a pleasure to privilege and all that, 275 00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:48,800 Speaker 1: but we were pretty you know, we get kind of 276 00:14:48,920 --> 00:14:51,640 Speaker 1: tired during the season and we're going through it. I mean, 277 00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:53,760 Speaker 1: there's no question about it. But do we need to 278 00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:55,680 Speaker 1: go to London to play a football game? You know, 279 00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:59,160 Speaker 1: we are creatures of habit, just like the players. But 280 00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:01,360 Speaker 1: as soon as we got on that plane and got there, 281 00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:03,480 Speaker 1: it was just such a thrill and really exciting. But 282 00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:06,040 Speaker 1: having said all that, I know how I feel during 283 00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:09,200 Speaker 1: the season. Let's take La baby. Let's go to La 284 00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:11,280 Speaker 1: and get it done. We've been to London. I want 285 00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:14,400 Speaker 1: to go back, but maybe not right away. And I 286 00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:16,160 Speaker 1: want them to go to Germany and play a game 287 00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:19,200 Speaker 1: because I think I'm nice, huge, and like you said 288 00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:21,480 Speaker 1: yesterday or the day before, I would go back to 289 00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:24,720 Speaker 1: Mexico City, but I'm hoping that the stadium set up 290 00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:26,400 Speaker 1: is a little bit different than it was. That was 291 00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:29,880 Speaker 1: really strange with that long ramp going up to the 292 00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:31,800 Speaker 1: locker room and you had to be it was like 293 00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:35,360 Speaker 1: climbing everest to get to the locker room and our 294 00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:38,080 Speaker 1: broadcast position outside. If it had rained, we would have 295 00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:41,240 Speaker 1: been I think the equipment would have malfunctioned. I don't 296 00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:42,640 Speaker 1: know how we would have made it through, so it 297 00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:44,680 Speaker 1: was now would have been tough. That would have been tough. 298 00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:49,440 Speaker 1: I would the London trip. I think you're encapsulated. The 299 00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:53,440 Speaker 1: London trip exactly dead on, But you know, three days 300 00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:55,960 Speaker 1: in LA that wouldn't be too bad. All right, I'm 301 00:15:55,960 --> 00:16:02,400 Speaker 1: gonna go to Texans One. Here. Greatest non quarterback Texans 302 00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:08,480 Speaker 1: offensive season twenty ten Arian Foster ran for sixteen hundred 303 00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:11,960 Speaker 1: yards sixteen TV sixty six receptions, six hundred four yards 304 00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:18,160 Speaker 1: to receiving touchdowns or twenty fifteen DeAndre Hopkins one hundred 305 00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:23,800 Speaker 1: eleven receptions fifteen hundred plush yards, eleven touchdowns, and highlight 306 00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:27,080 Speaker 1: reel catches all over the map. Greatest non quarterback Texans 307 00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:30,120 Speaker 1: offensive season for just these two. There are a few 308 00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:32,560 Speaker 1: Andre Johnson. It could thrown there as well, but these 309 00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:36,160 Speaker 1: two twenty ten Arian Foster twenty fifteen DeAndre Hopkins either 310 00:16:36,280 --> 00:16:39,120 Speaker 1: or as brilliant as Arian was in twenty ten, And 311 00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:41,880 Speaker 1: I'm not saying he wasn't, because he was. It was tremendous. 312 00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:45,920 Speaker 1: I'm going hop here Johnny in twenty fifteen, because hop 313 00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:49,320 Speaker 1: it wasn't single handedly. There's no single handedly in football, 314 00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:53,160 Speaker 1: right unless the quarterback is making ungodly plays. But hop 315 00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:56,840 Speaker 1: had how many quarterbacks that year, Johnny four four quarterbacks 316 00:16:56,840 --> 00:16:59,840 Speaker 1: throwing him the ball, and he had that kind of campaign. 317 00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:04,959 Speaker 1: And the Monday Night catch was a season turnaround play 318 00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:06,800 Speaker 1: that is really one of the greatest plays in the 319 00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:09,439 Speaker 1: history of this franchise. So I gotta give it to 320 00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:13,359 Speaker 1: hop and the attention he gets and got enabled guys 321 00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:15,280 Speaker 1: like Jile and Straw to make a big play against 322 00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:18,040 Speaker 1: the Colts later on and things like that. I think 323 00:17:18,080 --> 00:17:20,680 Speaker 1: that was the greatest offensive season, or one of them 324 00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:24,479 Speaker 1: for a non quarterback Texan. But among those two, if 325 00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:26,920 Speaker 1: you give me twenty fifteen hot and twenty ten. Arian, 326 00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:32,000 Speaker 1: I'm taking twenty fifteen hot. Okay, me too, even though 327 00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:34,119 Speaker 1: going back and watching Area in twenty ten, it's just 328 00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:39,320 Speaker 1: a joy, Okay. You can start the day from the 329 00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:43,040 Speaker 1: beginning all the way through, from when you wake up 330 00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:47,440 Speaker 1: to when you go to bed. You can experience the 331 00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:55,399 Speaker 1: entire day one more time, either Sunday afternoon in twenty 332 00:17:55,440 --> 00:18:02,119 Speaker 1: eleven at Cincinnati or Saturday after at home in the 333 00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:06,440 Speaker 1: playoff game in twenty eleven against Cincinnati. Which one would 334 00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:09,560 Speaker 1: you relive from beginning to end? Again, no question, it 335 00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:11,520 Speaker 1: would be the regular season game where they clinched it, 336 00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:14,560 Speaker 1: no doubt. As perfect as the playoff game was, and 337 00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:16,399 Speaker 1: it was a perfect day. I've always said that it 338 00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:19,080 Speaker 1: was a perfect day. But the wat pick six and 339 00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:21,639 Speaker 1: everything else, We've talked about that a lot. The twenty 340 00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:26,960 Speaker 1: eleven clincher in December, that afternoon on the road that thrill. 341 00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:31,520 Speaker 1: I would love to relive that. And we're shooting a 342 00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:34,880 Speaker 1: fifty three. That's our kind of thirty for thirty kind 343 00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:37,520 Speaker 1: of thing that we do here internally for the Texans, 344 00:18:37,520 --> 00:18:40,080 Speaker 1: and we put it out on social media and digital media, 345 00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:43,480 Speaker 1: and we're shooting a fifty three on that day. So 346 00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:46,960 Speaker 1: I just did a bunch of interview stuff for that, 347 00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:49,840 Speaker 1: and there are so many memories that came up as 348 00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:52,280 Speaker 1: we were talking about it. I just I would love 349 00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:54,960 Speaker 1: to relive that. I would love to call that again. 350 00:18:55,480 --> 00:18:57,800 Speaker 1: And as I called it, I couldn't call that they 351 00:18:57,800 --> 00:19:00,879 Speaker 1: were division champs on the field because as we all know, 352 00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:03,359 Speaker 1: the Saints and Titans weren't done yet. And we went 353 00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:06,720 Speaker 1: through that whole story because that's a broadcast story right there, 354 00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:10,080 Speaker 1: that goes along with the game story. And you know, 355 00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:12,800 Speaker 1: I had to call it on the field and pause, 356 00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:17,640 Speaker 1: I said, and if the Saints beat the Titans, I paused, 357 00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:21,200 Speaker 1: they are the division champions. And I so they could 358 00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:23,560 Speaker 1: just take that day are the division champions and edit 359 00:19:23,640 --> 00:19:26,200 Speaker 1: it into the call. And they did that. The NFL 360 00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:29,720 Speaker 1: network guys did that, NFL Films guys did that, and 361 00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:31,719 Speaker 1: I felt like they would and it was like we 362 00:19:31,720 --> 00:19:35,040 Speaker 1: were working together in perfect synergy without even talking with 363 00:19:35,080 --> 00:19:38,680 Speaker 1: each other. So it all worked out. It was fun. 364 00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:41,440 Speaker 1: I'd do that again, Johnny, Okay, that's a good one. 365 00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:49,560 Speaker 1: You can have one thing back either, you just you 366 00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:54,640 Speaker 1: just get it back. Either the number three overall pick 367 00:19:54,680 --> 00:20:01,439 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty one or one year of Megawatt. But 368 00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:05,040 Speaker 1: that's it, just one great J. J. Watt year and 369 00:20:05,040 --> 00:20:07,639 Speaker 1: that's it. You want to bring it back to number 370 00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:11,960 Speaker 1: three overall pick in twenty twenty one or one twenty 371 00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:15,760 Speaker 1: fourteen type year of Megawatt, What do you bring him back? Well, 372 00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:17,639 Speaker 1: how do I do I go back in time and 373 00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:19,440 Speaker 1: experience that year again, or do I get to have 374 00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:21,320 Speaker 1: him back this year and he has You get to 375 00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:24,679 Speaker 1: have it this twenty twenty one season. You get to 376 00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:27,680 Speaker 1: have no questions asked. You just get the number three 377 00:20:27,720 --> 00:20:31,560 Speaker 1: overall pick back and then let that play out. Or 378 00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:36,800 Speaker 1: you get one year of Megawatt twenty sacks, five touchdowns, 379 00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:40,080 Speaker 1: twenty fourteen type season. Yeah, the twenty fourteen season was 380 00:20:40,119 --> 00:20:42,640 Speaker 1: what I'm thinking about, and that was a winning season. 381 00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:45,720 Speaker 1: One year. That's it, and you mix that into whatever 382 00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:48,760 Speaker 1: they do. Now. I mean that that you look usually 383 00:20:48,840 --> 00:20:50,959 Speaker 1: a great defensive player making big plays like that. It's 384 00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:54,000 Speaker 1: going to elevate the defense. That was a team elevator 385 00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:58,399 Speaker 1: right there that season that he had. But the third 386 00:20:58,440 --> 00:21:01,879 Speaker 1: overall pick, Johnny, that's pretty good right there. That's you 387 00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:04,960 Speaker 1: get for how many ever years? I mean, that could 388 00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:08,359 Speaker 1: be a ten year player. Yeah, but I just think 389 00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:10,960 Speaker 1: that if I could have what a twenty fourteen watt 390 00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:14,719 Speaker 1: performance this year, that would do a lot for me. 391 00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:17,440 Speaker 1: That would do a lot for me. But look, with 392 00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:20,359 Speaker 1: all the doubt, with you know who and everything, I 393 00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:22,919 Speaker 1: think I'm gonna take the pick. I'll take the pick. Okay, 394 00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:26,760 Speaker 1: it's being honest right now, I'm gonna take take your pick. Okay. 395 00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:29,679 Speaker 1: Now this one I thought about this. I was like, 396 00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:34,080 Speaker 1: all right, I wrote this originally this next one, and 397 00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:35,920 Speaker 1: I had the first team, and then I was like, 398 00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:39,720 Speaker 1: I don't know, man, I had a complete opposite that 399 00:21:39,840 --> 00:21:41,440 Speaker 1: I that I started with, and then I went back. 400 00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:43,200 Speaker 1: I was like, wait a second, what team is closely 401 00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:47,040 Speaker 1: related to that one? I went, oh, okay, you can 402 00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:49,960 Speaker 1: go back and relive a full season, whether you work 403 00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:53,160 Speaker 1: for them or not, just the joy of watching that season. 404 00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:59,440 Speaker 1: The nineteen ninety eight Minnesota Vikings fifteen and one lost 405 00:21:59,560 --> 00:22:06,960 Speaker 1: NFC Hampship Game, or the twenty eighteen Chiefs Patrick Mahomes 406 00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:12,199 Speaker 1: second year, he's MVP, but the Chiefs losing overtime to 407 00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:14,880 Speaker 1: New England. You can go back and relive a full 408 00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:18,040 Speaker 1: season of the ninety eight Vikings of the eighteen Chiefs. 409 00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:20,040 Speaker 1: Which one would it be? I don't want to see 410 00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:26,720 Speaker 1: the eighteen Chiefs, no way. No, I mean no, I 411 00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:28,320 Speaker 1: don't want to see that. I don't ever seen the 412 00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:32,080 Speaker 1: Vikings because I get to see Culpepper and Randy Moss 413 00:22:32,119 --> 00:22:35,240 Speaker 1: and Chris Carter. Those guys were awesome. And I know 414 00:22:35,320 --> 00:22:37,960 Speaker 1: how the movie ends, so it's like, hey, the Titanic's 415 00:22:37,960 --> 00:22:40,480 Speaker 1: a great love story, but at the end, oh not 416 00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:45,919 Speaker 1: so good? Come back, come back? Was there room on 417 00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:49,480 Speaker 1: that door for Jack also? Or was there just no way? 418 00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:52,560 Speaker 1: I mean, there was no way Jack could stay on 419 00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:57,040 Speaker 1: the floating door with Kate Winslet. No, I don't know. 420 00:22:57,240 --> 00:23:01,040 Speaker 1: I don't think so. I don't you know. You're sitting 421 00:23:01,040 --> 00:23:02,639 Speaker 1: there in the water. It's like Jack, you're not gonna 422 00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:05,720 Speaker 1: make it. You should splash around and look for something 423 00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:08,840 Speaker 1: else to floatwa And to other people, would life jackets 424 00:23:08,840 --> 00:23:10,600 Speaker 1: You might want to make a deal, say hey, I'll 425 00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:12,919 Speaker 1: take your life jacket off your hands because you want 426 00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:15,080 Speaker 1: to get on that with Kate Winslet. I don't know. 427 00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:17,560 Speaker 1: That wouldn't work either. But anyway, my point is this, 428 00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:19,800 Speaker 1: I don't want to see the Chiefs, no way. It's 429 00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:22,479 Speaker 1: just too fresh and I don't like them. You know 430 00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:25,520 Speaker 1: how I feel about that team. They just both have 431 00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:29,200 Speaker 1: some of the greatest offensive talent and then losing the 432 00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:35,000 Speaker 1: championship game before getting the Super Bowl. You're right, this 433 00:23:35,040 --> 00:23:36,679 Speaker 1: one has to do a little nit with what we 434 00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:43,560 Speaker 1: were talking about yesterday. You must institute one of these 435 00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:49,520 Speaker 1: NFL rules. Now, hang with me on this, right. The 436 00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:53,679 Speaker 1: first rule is that an offensive fumble goes back to 437 00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:58,600 Speaker 1: the original spot of the fumble if the offense recovers, 438 00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:04,480 Speaker 1: or the fourth and fifteen on side kick in a 439 00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:08,720 Speaker 1: game gets instituted. Do you want the offensive fumble to 440 00:24:08,760 --> 00:24:12,359 Speaker 1: the original spot if recovered by the offense or the 441 00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:16,240 Speaker 1: fourth and fifteen on side kick in a game fumble 442 00:24:16,320 --> 00:24:19,439 Speaker 1: recovery done. It's it's in the books. Just do it. 443 00:24:19,480 --> 00:24:22,000 Speaker 1: Like that. I don't need to have the fourth and fifteen, China, 444 00:24:22,040 --> 00:24:23,920 Speaker 1: you know how I feel about that. We should spend 445 00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:26,240 Speaker 1: a show talking about the fourth and fifteen because I 446 00:24:26,320 --> 00:24:28,600 Speaker 1: ain't doing the fourth and fifteen. I am at no 447 00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:32,359 Speaker 1: time soon doing fourth and fifteen. I like the fourth 448 00:24:32,359 --> 00:24:36,879 Speaker 1: and fifteen. I You're crazy. I mean, I'm such a traditionalist, 449 00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:38,879 Speaker 1: an old head, but I kind of like some of 450 00:24:38,920 --> 00:24:41,040 Speaker 1: the new things. I like the spot and choose. I 451 00:24:41,040 --> 00:24:44,280 Speaker 1: know McClain couldn't get it, but I like I like it. Okay, 452 00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:51,080 Speaker 1: last word, all right, you can have complete amnesia for 453 00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:57,960 Speaker 1: a season, complete amnesia four season twenty twenty or two 454 00:24:58,040 --> 00:25:01,560 Speaker 1: thousand and five. Those the two I picked. Two thousand 455 00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:05,800 Speaker 1: and five or twenty twenty twenty twenty. No question, no question, 456 00:25:06,080 --> 00:25:08,679 Speaker 1: no question, not at all. Every day I did a 457 00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:13,240 Speaker 1: game with COVID from my office twenty twenty. It's done. 458 00:25:13,359 --> 00:25:15,240 Speaker 1: Although you know, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger, 459 00:25:15,280 --> 00:25:17,520 Speaker 1: I guess or whatever. But two thousand and five I 460 00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:19,280 Speaker 1: can talk about that season all day long. That was 461 00:25:19,320 --> 00:25:22,240 Speaker 1: like a super Bowl campaign compared to twenty twenty. Yeah. 462 00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:25,159 Speaker 1: All right, well, nice job, Mark, appreciate you joining me, 463 00:25:25,280 --> 00:25:28,439 Speaker 1: my friend. Thank you very much.

I'm 468 00:25:42,359 --> 00:25:46,600 Speaker 1: your host, John Harris, football Anna, silent reporter and the 469 00:25:46,760 --> 00:25:52,600 Speaker 1: namesake of the Harris one hundred eighth year. I believe 470 00:25:52,880 --> 00:25:55,040 Speaker 1: that's what this is. I think it's the eighth year. 471 00:25:55,520 --> 00:25:57,280 Speaker 1: I tried to do the math on this, but I 472 00:25:57,320 --> 00:25:58,840 Speaker 1: think I did one of you before I came to 473 00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:02,000 Speaker 1: the Texans and we called one hundred. But now either way, 474 00:26:02,040 --> 00:26:05,000 Speaker 1: whether it's eighth, ninth, tenth, twentieth, I know I've set 475 00:26:05,040 --> 00:26:08,520 Speaker 1: up draft boards for about two decades now, and the 476 00:26:08,560 --> 00:26:14,000 Speaker 1: most recent Harris one hundred, My essentially my vertical draft 477 00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:17,760 Speaker 1: board is up at Houston Texans dot com.

One thing people always 483 00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:36,399 Speaker 1: want to know with Harris one hundred, well, which of 484 00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:40,200 Speaker 1: those guys do you think ends up in Houston? And 485 00:26:40,359 --> 00:26:43,240 Speaker 1: over the years I have been able to on draft 486 00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:45,879 Speaker 1: night be able to go to my Harris one hundred 487 00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:49,040 Speaker 1: and put it up on Twitter. Hey, the Texas just 488 00:26:49,119 --> 00:26:53,240 Speaker 1: drafted Justin Reid at number sixty seven, sixty eight. It's 489 00:26:53,240 --> 00:26:55,760 Speaker 1: one of those two numbers, and I was able to go, hey, 490 00:26:55,840 --> 00:26:57,440 Speaker 1: here it is, Here's what I thought of Justin Reid 491 00:26:57,440 --> 00:26:59,199 Speaker 1: when I studied him, I think I had him at 492 00:26:59,240 --> 00:27:02,720 Speaker 1: number forty four. Same with Titus Howard, same with the 493 00:27:02,800 --> 00:27:06,359 Speaker 1: number of players. Kyllie Waring had all these reports ready 494 00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:08,720 Speaker 1: to go in large part because I did the Harris 495 00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:12,399 Speaker 1: one hundred. Now, obviously the noise out there, you have 496 00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:14,000 Speaker 1: no idea what's gonna happen with draft picks, but we 497 00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:16,480 Speaker 1: know as of right now, and that's the key is 498 00:27:16,640 --> 00:27:21,760 Speaker 1: right now, the Texans have pick number sixty seven. It's 499 00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:25,800 Speaker 1: the first time that they will draft in this twenty 500 00:27:25,840 --> 00:27:28,920 Speaker 1: twenty one draft. So I figured, all right, if I 501 00:27:28,960 --> 00:27:32,840 Speaker 1: look at the Harris one hundred and look at number 502 00:27:32,920 --> 00:27:35,800 Speaker 1: sixty seven, first of all, I'll start at number sixty seven. 503 00:27:36,280 --> 00:27:40,040 Speaker 1: Is that a player that could end up with the Texans? 504 00:27:40,080 --> 00:27:43,919 Speaker 1: Just first and foremost everybody goes in order. I know 505 00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:47,639 Speaker 1: it won't, but it'd be really cool if it did. Anyhow, 506 00:27:48,119 --> 00:27:50,600 Speaker 1: the player at number sixty seven, could that be a Texan? 507 00:27:51,119 --> 00:27:55,879 Speaker 1: There's no question that I would dance at JAG on 508 00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:58,520 Speaker 1: stage at the draft party. Ay, if we have the 509 00:27:58,560 --> 00:28:00,800 Speaker 1: draft party, which I hope we do, being no matter 510 00:28:00,880 --> 00:28:02,840 Speaker 1: where we're doing the draft run because even last year 511 00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:04,800 Speaker 1: we did it, we just did it remotely. We just 512 00:28:04,840 --> 00:28:06,880 Speaker 1: did it all of our houses, as we did through 513 00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:10,399 Speaker 1: zoom at number sixty seven, and the Harris one hundred 514 00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:14,560 Speaker 1: is Kenneth Gainwell running back from out of Memphis. I 515 00:28:14,600 --> 00:28:19,600 Speaker 1: say running back interesting because when I when I do this, 516 00:28:19,760 --> 00:28:22,639 Speaker 1: I try and put the position as close to possible 517 00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:25,520 Speaker 1: that I think that player is going to play going forward, 518 00:28:25,560 --> 00:28:28,159 Speaker 1: even if that position doesn't quote unquote exist in a 519 00:28:28,160 --> 00:28:32,560 Speaker 1: lot of people's vernaculars. I came up with a term 520 00:28:32,680 --> 00:28:34,520 Speaker 1: for a player like Kenneth Gainwell at least, this is 521 00:28:34,560 --> 00:28:37,240 Speaker 1: what I just came up with, called weapon X, and 522 00:28:37,359 --> 00:28:40,400 Speaker 1: that's just somebody that can be deployed in a lot 523 00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:43,440 Speaker 1: of different ways. I think weapon X actually was originally 524 00:28:44,600 --> 00:28:46,520 Speaker 1: given the term given to Denard Roberts to me with 525 00:28:46,560 --> 00:28:49,960 Speaker 1: the Jackson. I think it called offensive weapon OW I 526 00:28:50,200 --> 00:28:51,880 Speaker 1: changed it to weapon X. I don't know. I like 527 00:28:51,960 --> 00:28:54,080 Speaker 1: weapon X a little bit better, and so that's what 528 00:28:54,120 --> 00:28:56,920 Speaker 1: I've gone with. But I didn't put that in my 529 00:28:57,080 --> 00:29:01,120 Speaker 1: Harris one hundred because I was a little worried about 530 00:29:01,160 --> 00:29:05,560 Speaker 1: how my folks in our digital department would like, wait, 531 00:29:05,600 --> 00:29:07,800 Speaker 1: what's weapon AX to have to define that, So I 532 00:29:07,840 --> 00:29:10,760 Speaker 1: just put AH meaning athlete that's what a lot of 533 00:29:10,760 --> 00:29:14,480 Speaker 1: recruiting services use to describe somebody like Gainwell. Now he 534 00:29:14,520 --> 00:29:17,240 Speaker 1: had a heck of a twenty nineteen season. He was 535 00:29:17,360 --> 00:29:23,160 Speaker 1: unbelievable in twenty nineteen. Loved, loved watching him run the football. 536 00:29:24,720 --> 00:29:27,200 Speaker 1: One when I when I initially watched him, I didn't 537 00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:31,800 Speaker 1: think he was that big. Now he only truly played 538 00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:34,920 Speaker 1: one year of football in twenty eighteen, when he was 539 00:29:35,040 --> 00:29:39,960 Speaker 1: a freshman. He only played four games and NC doublehead 540 00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:42,640 Speaker 1: a rule before COVID that you can play four games 541 00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:44,160 Speaker 1: and maintain your red shirt. That's what he did in 542 00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:46,239 Speaker 1: twenty eighteen. So he came back in twenty nineteen as 543 00:29:46,280 --> 00:29:50,720 Speaker 1: a redshirt freshman and he went off, catch ball in 544 00:29:50,720 --> 00:29:55,160 Speaker 1: the backfield, pass protection, running the ball, just sublime, running 545 00:29:55,200 --> 00:29:57,680 Speaker 1: with the ball in his hands, make you miss guys, strong, 546 00:29:57,800 --> 00:30:01,000 Speaker 1: lower half, everything you really wanted to running back. But 547 00:30:01,120 --> 00:30:09,239 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty his family was beset by COVID. I 548 00:30:09,320 --> 00:30:14,440 Speaker 1: believe the number was four people in his family, A 549 00:30:14,480 --> 00:30:17,920 Speaker 1: couple immediate family members I think a cousin, and also 550 00:30:17,960 --> 00:30:23,040 Speaker 1: an uncle that passed away due to COVID. So Gainwell said, 551 00:30:23,080 --> 00:30:26,120 Speaker 1: look I can't do it. I'm opting out of this season, 552 00:30:26,480 --> 00:30:28,479 Speaker 1: and so he was one of those players that did 553 00:30:28,520 --> 00:30:30,560 Speaker 1: opt out of twenty twenty season from the beginning. He 554 00:30:30,600 --> 00:30:34,120 Speaker 1: did in the spring when it was running rampant and 555 00:30:34,200 --> 00:30:38,200 Speaker 1: his family really was hit hard, and so he decided 556 00:30:38,200 --> 00:30:41,360 Speaker 1: at that point, I've gotta i gotta step away. I'm 557 00:30:41,360 --> 00:30:46,520 Speaker 1: not going to I'm not gonna be there for this season. 558 00:30:46,800 --> 00:30:49,800 Speaker 1: I'm gonna just give myself out of the situation. And 559 00:30:49,840 --> 00:30:52,040 Speaker 1: then he declared for the draft. At that point, look 560 00:30:52,040 --> 00:30:53,760 Speaker 1: his running back, he would have been going into his 561 00:30:54,120 --> 00:30:56,440 Speaker 1: fourth year on campus, and a lot of running backs 562 00:30:57,000 --> 00:31:00,800 Speaker 1: I don't really and honestly, I've never really had an 563 00:31:00,800 --> 00:31:03,200 Speaker 1: issue with running backs going early. They've got a short 564 00:31:03,240 --> 00:31:05,560 Speaker 1: shelf life. The NFL Blox had running backs in a 565 00:31:05,600 --> 00:31:07,880 Speaker 1: completely different manner probably than a lot of people do, 566 00:31:08,840 --> 00:31:11,400 Speaker 1: and so it's more of a kind of a single 567 00:31:11,600 --> 00:31:16,240 Speaker 1: use sort of weapon. And if that player after five 568 00:31:16,320 --> 00:31:18,960 Speaker 1: years still shows that he's got it all right, they'll 569 00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:21,080 Speaker 1: give a second contract and then hope they get kind 570 00:31:21,080 --> 00:31:24,560 Speaker 1: of Derek Henry performance. But mainly, you want to get 571 00:31:24,600 --> 00:31:28,120 Speaker 1: that first contract four or five years strong out of 572 00:31:28,120 --> 00:31:30,440 Speaker 1: a running back, and I think you would absolutely get 573 00:31:30,440 --> 00:31:34,120 Speaker 1: that with Kenneth Ganewell now that's the player directly at 574 00:31:34,640 --> 00:31:37,640 Speaker 1: sixty seven. Now, I don't know if when I did this, 575 00:31:37,680 --> 00:31:43,400 Speaker 1: if I was subconsciously channeling players that I could see 576 00:31:44,400 --> 00:31:49,320 Speaker 1: stepping in for the Texans and being that pick at 577 00:31:49,440 --> 00:31:52,600 Speaker 1: number sixty seven. And it starts as I look at 578 00:31:52,600 --> 00:31:55,720 Speaker 1: my all the way up at number fifty four, Tyson 579 00:31:55,800 --> 00:31:58,600 Speaker 1: Campbell corner at Georgia. Could he fall to sixty seven, 580 00:31:58,960 --> 00:32:02,720 Speaker 1: And there's a possibility. I doubt it, but look, if 581 00:32:02,760 --> 00:32:06,560 Speaker 1: you're anywhere probably ten to fifteen spots within that number, 582 00:32:06,640 --> 00:32:08,240 Speaker 1: there's a chance. Look, I had just to read it 583 00:32:08,320 --> 00:32:10,640 Speaker 1: forty four. I felt highly adjusted to read he was 584 00:32:10,680 --> 00:32:13,120 Speaker 1: able to somehow fall the way to the beginning in 585 00:32:13,120 --> 00:32:14,840 Speaker 1: the third round, Texas were able to get him there. 586 00:32:14,840 --> 00:32:18,240 Speaker 1: But Tyson Campbell at fifty four. His teammate Eric Stokes 587 00:32:18,440 --> 00:32:22,920 Speaker 1: at number fifty six. Apparently today down in Florida, Stokes 588 00:32:23,440 --> 00:32:28,400 Speaker 1: at six one eighty ran at four two four at 589 00:32:28,440 --> 00:32:31,400 Speaker 1: a I don't want to call combine, but kind of 590 00:32:31,400 --> 00:32:33,440 Speaker 1: a combine house of athletes. I think it's a Brandon 591 00:32:33,480 --> 00:32:41,560 Speaker 1: Marshall funded location down in Florida workout location, and Stokes 592 00:32:42,280 --> 00:32:44,480 Speaker 1: ran as well as four two four, ran as high 593 00:32:44,520 --> 00:32:47,640 Speaker 1: as four three four either way, it's smoking fast, and 594 00:32:47,720 --> 00:32:52,040 Speaker 1: I think at fifty six he's probably he's probably going 595 00:32:52,080 --> 00:32:54,880 Speaker 1: to go up. I still think there are some I 596 00:32:54,960 --> 00:32:56,880 Speaker 1: still think there's some things in his game that I 597 00:32:56,960 --> 00:32:58,719 Speaker 1: got to come along a little bit. He's still kind 598 00:32:58,760 --> 00:33:01,440 Speaker 1: of clutching, grabby kind will holding kind of guy, and 599 00:33:01,480 --> 00:33:05,400 Speaker 1: I think I didn't always see that four two four speed, 600 00:33:05,640 --> 00:33:07,880 Speaker 1: But I think both those guys could play it. I 601 00:33:07,880 --> 00:33:09,840 Speaker 1: would love seeing both of them end up at sixty seven. 602 00:33:09,840 --> 00:33:12,120 Speaker 1: Don't think it's gonna happen. Number fifty seven is Tommy 603 00:33:12,160 --> 00:33:15,280 Speaker 1: togi I from Ohio State. I would love to have 604 00:33:15,320 --> 00:33:18,440 Speaker 1: that name. Six two, three hundred pounds. The only thing 605 00:33:18,440 --> 00:33:19,840 Speaker 1: about him I would love to have him. But I 606 00:33:19,840 --> 00:33:21,840 Speaker 1: think you sort of have a guy like that in 607 00:33:21,960 --> 00:33:25,040 Speaker 1: Ross Blacklock you drafted last year, and Ross has really 608 00:33:25,080 --> 00:33:27,280 Speaker 1: got to show himself. I don't know that togy I 609 00:33:27,520 --> 00:33:32,320 Speaker 1: is too much different than Ross just right off the bat. 610 00:33:32,320 --> 00:33:35,440 Speaker 1: Fifty eight is Ronnie Perkins from Oklahoma. I would love, love, 611 00:33:35,720 --> 00:33:38,640 Speaker 1: love to have Ronnie Perkins in this lineup if you 612 00:33:38,680 --> 00:33:40,200 Speaker 1: were going to be more of a three four team. 613 00:33:41,320 --> 00:33:43,120 Speaker 1: I don't know. If you're gonna be a three four team, 614 00:33:43,120 --> 00:33:44,720 Speaker 1: they're gonna be a four three team, So I think 615 00:33:44,840 --> 00:33:48,760 Speaker 1: it's gonna be bigger defensive vans going forward, and I 616 00:33:48,800 --> 00:33:50,800 Speaker 1: think there are a few of those, especially up in 617 00:33:50,840 --> 00:33:52,600 Speaker 1: the top twenty, a couple of them that I really like. 618 00:33:52,920 --> 00:33:55,240 Speaker 1: Perkins about two hundred and forty seven pounds, he fits 619 00:33:55,280 --> 00:33:56,600 Speaker 1: the mold a little bit more of a three four 620 00:33:57,000 --> 00:34:00,120 Speaker 1: outside linebacker, but I do think that Perkins could play 621 00:34:00,760 --> 00:34:02,800 Speaker 1: packs on about five to seven or more pounds. I 622 00:34:02,840 --> 00:34:04,360 Speaker 1: think you definitely could do it, especially the way you 623 00:34:04,360 --> 00:34:07,640 Speaker 1: can rush. J Too Fuelly from USC another interior guy, 624 00:34:08,160 --> 00:34:11,560 Speaker 1: very quick up the field. Similar again Ross Blacklock, but 625 00:34:11,680 --> 00:34:14,719 Speaker 1: boy too Felly can really play. And then we get 626 00:34:14,760 --> 00:34:20,000 Speaker 1: to a spot from sixty through sixty five where I 627 00:34:20,040 --> 00:34:23,360 Speaker 1: have three players that I without question could see the 628 00:34:23,400 --> 00:34:26,520 Speaker 1: Texans taking a look at two of our centers. The 629 00:34:26,640 --> 00:34:30,479 Speaker 1: third one is a guard or center. He played center 630 00:34:30,520 --> 00:34:33,560 Speaker 1: to Senior Bowl, but I think he can play either 631 00:34:33,640 --> 00:34:36,120 Speaker 1: guard or center. Center might be his ultimate spot, and 632 00:34:36,120 --> 00:34:37,839 Speaker 1: if you take him at sixty seven, maybe that's it. 633 00:34:38,040 --> 00:34:40,319 Speaker 1: But at number sixty I have Josh Meyers from Ohiouse State, 634 00:34:40,520 --> 00:34:43,600 Speaker 1: and number sixty one I have Creed Humphrey from Oklahoma, 635 00:34:43,680 --> 00:34:47,520 Speaker 1: and at sixty five I have Quinn Miners from Wisconsin Whitewater. Now, 636 00:34:47,520 --> 00:34:51,239 Speaker 1: I saw Humphrey and Maynars at the Senior Bowl. Both 637 00:34:51,440 --> 00:34:53,600 Speaker 1: played center, Both don't played guard down there. I think 638 00:34:53,680 --> 00:34:55,680 Speaker 1: both end up being centers in the long run, but 639 00:34:55,680 --> 00:34:58,120 Speaker 1: I just think both could play guard if you needed 640 00:34:58,200 --> 00:35:01,040 Speaker 1: him to. And after the release of Nick Martin, there 641 00:35:01,080 --> 00:35:04,600 Speaker 1: obviously is a spot for somebody step in there at center. 642 00:35:05,120 --> 00:35:08,040 Speaker 1: Texans could look at free agents. Obviously they don't have 643 00:35:08,040 --> 00:35:11,759 Speaker 1: a ton of money over the ownerneath the cap, but 644 00:35:11,880 --> 00:35:13,600 Speaker 1: they could look at the center if they wanted to. 645 00:35:13,719 --> 00:35:15,560 Speaker 1: But this is kind of the sweet spot for where 646 00:35:15,600 --> 00:35:18,840 Speaker 1: I've got some of the centers in this draft is 647 00:35:18,960 --> 00:35:22,719 Speaker 1: right there from sixty through sixty five with Myers, Humphrey, 648 00:35:22,760 --> 00:35:25,600 Speaker 1: and Miners, and any of those three you could put 649 00:35:25,640 --> 00:35:27,920 Speaker 1: in that spot and I would feel very, very good. 650 00:35:28,160 --> 00:35:30,720 Speaker 1: But the value you were getting for those players at 651 00:35:30,800 --> 00:35:34,960 Speaker 1: number sixty seven and number sixty six is one of 652 00:35:34,960 --> 00:35:38,880 Speaker 1: my favorite players in this draft, and he becomes really 653 00:35:38,920 --> 00:35:42,520 Speaker 1: interesting in whatever this defense is going to be for 654 00:35:42,560 --> 00:35:46,360 Speaker 1: the Texans. His name is Bill Cox. He's an outside linebacker. 655 00:35:46,880 --> 00:35:49,560 Speaker 1: He can play off the ball, he can play outside rush, 656 00:35:49,640 --> 00:35:52,560 Speaker 1: and if you need him to, he's probably best served 657 00:35:52,840 --> 00:35:55,080 Speaker 1: to play either a Sam or Well outside linebacker or 658 00:35:55,080 --> 00:35:58,080 Speaker 1: a four three. I think he would be a wonderful 659 00:35:58,160 --> 00:36:02,080 Speaker 1: fit with what the Texans have a linebacker. There's so 660 00:36:02,200 --> 00:36:05,520 Speaker 1: much that he can do. And throughout the year after 661 00:36:05,560 --> 00:36:08,680 Speaker 1: he transferred to LSU from North Dakota State, he really 662 00:36:08,719 --> 00:36:14,320 Speaker 1: showed pass coverage drops, zone drops. Really good quality football player. 663 00:36:14,360 --> 00:36:16,640 Speaker 1: Jabril Cox. I got him right at sixty seven, so 664 00:36:16,960 --> 00:36:20,520 Speaker 1: one spot below or above Kenneth Gainwell, who I talked 665 00:36:20,520 --> 00:36:23,839 Speaker 1: about being at sixty seven. Bial Cox would be one 666 00:36:23,840 --> 00:36:27,480 Speaker 1: a heck of a fit for this Texans defense. And 667 00:36:27,719 --> 00:36:30,319 Speaker 1: just the versatility alone. I know people hear that term 668 00:36:30,440 --> 00:36:32,480 Speaker 1: versatility and they're like, I don't want to add that term. 669 00:36:32,480 --> 00:36:36,920 Speaker 1: I was a Bill O'Briant. No. Versatility is a football term. 670 00:36:37,040 --> 00:36:39,920 Speaker 1: Here's the thing as it pertains to versatility. If you're 671 00:36:39,960 --> 00:36:42,000 Speaker 1: gonna talk about somebody being versatile, then they got to 672 00:36:42,040 --> 00:36:44,880 Speaker 1: be good at all those places that they step into. 673 00:36:45,480 --> 00:36:47,520 Speaker 1: You can't just be well, you can play this and 674 00:36:47,560 --> 00:36:49,960 Speaker 1: you can play that. You have to be good doing 675 00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:52,759 Speaker 1: this and good doing that. That's something that I think 676 00:36:52,840 --> 00:36:55,400 Speaker 1: Jabril Cox could be for the Texans good in a 677 00:36:55,480 --> 00:36:58,960 Speaker 1: number of different areas. After you get past sixty seven. Again, 678 00:36:59,480 --> 00:37:02,200 Speaker 1: the other be some players that below sixty seven to Texas. 679 00:37:02,280 --> 00:37:05,279 Speaker 1: Take a look at at pick number sixty seven. There 680 00:37:05,320 --> 00:37:08,759 Speaker 1: are a couple of big dudes inside that make make 681 00:37:09,400 --> 00:37:11,799 Speaker 1: this pick kind of interesting. And when I talk about 682 00:37:11,840 --> 00:37:15,320 Speaker 1: big dudes inside, I mentioned a few earlier Tommy togab 683 00:37:15,360 --> 00:37:19,080 Speaker 1: Ohio State J. T. Fuelly from USC. Those guys are 684 00:37:19,120 --> 00:37:21,160 Speaker 1: six two sixty three three hundred pounds very similar to 685 00:37:21,200 --> 00:37:24,600 Speaker 1: Ross Blacklock. Ohso diggi Zoo is not quite that, but 686 00:37:24,760 --> 00:37:27,120 Speaker 1: he's a kind of a similar. Use players six two 687 00:37:27,200 --> 00:37:29,080 Speaker 1: sixty three about two hundred and eighty pounds saw of 688 00:37:29,120 --> 00:37:32,720 Speaker 1: the Senior Bowl. A wrestler in high school wins leverage 689 00:37:32,760 --> 00:37:35,640 Speaker 1: battles left and right just because of he knows how 690 00:37:35,680 --> 00:37:40,880 Speaker 1: to use levers and push and pull, yank, shed shock, 691 00:37:40,920 --> 00:37:43,080 Speaker 1: all those kind of things. The guy that really a 692 00:37:43,160 --> 00:37:46,279 Speaker 1: treats me as at number sixty nine as Bobby Brown 693 00:37:46,280 --> 00:37:49,800 Speaker 1: and third from Texas AM. Now, the one thing that 694 00:37:49,880 --> 00:37:54,279 Speaker 1: Texans were not last year was big. All of the 695 00:37:54,400 --> 00:37:58,560 Speaker 1: size that they had was really in one guy that 696 00:37:58,680 --> 00:38:00,560 Speaker 1: was branded done And really I don't even think of 697 00:38:00,680 --> 00:38:04,239 Speaker 1: Donny is being big, and so I think it was 698 00:38:04,480 --> 00:38:07,240 Speaker 1: easier for teams to knock the Texans off the ball 699 00:38:07,600 --> 00:38:09,239 Speaker 1: or in zone game to get him on the run, 700 00:38:09,719 --> 00:38:11,520 Speaker 1: and they weren't able to really kind of hold up 701 00:38:11,560 --> 00:38:14,759 Speaker 1: against that. They need a little bit of size. But 702 00:38:15,040 --> 00:38:18,200 Speaker 1: if that size comes with some athleticism, well that's a bonus. 703 00:38:18,800 --> 00:38:21,000 Speaker 1: MAT's that you get with Bobby Brown. When he's cranked 704 00:38:21,040 --> 00:38:22,840 Speaker 1: up the volume ten he's one of the more difficult 705 00:38:22,880 --> 00:38:25,320 Speaker 1: guys to block a Nitarre draft. And as I mentioned, 706 00:38:25,320 --> 00:38:30,640 Speaker 1: big six four three, twenty five, and in doing his testing, 707 00:38:31,040 --> 00:38:34,000 Speaker 1: preliminary testing up at Exos, he ran a four two 708 00:38:34,200 --> 00:38:38,120 Speaker 1: five short shuttle. Now, if you're wondering, okay, well, is 709 00:38:38,160 --> 00:38:41,880 Speaker 1: that good four two five short shuttle would probably probably 710 00:38:42,400 --> 00:38:46,680 Speaker 1: put him about midway in the receivers and in the 711 00:38:46,719 --> 00:38:49,000 Speaker 1: top third of the tight ends at that position. And 712 00:38:49,040 --> 00:38:51,600 Speaker 1: it just shows the change of direction, the redirection that 713 00:38:51,680 --> 00:38:55,480 Speaker 1: he has for a defensive alignment of that size. My goodness, 714 00:38:56,480 --> 00:38:59,800 Speaker 1: I if you said sixty seven, you get Bobby Brown Texas, 715 00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:03,120 Speaker 1: and I'd say, thank you very much, thank you very much. Now, 716 00:39:03,360 --> 00:39:05,520 Speaker 1: another couple of big guys on this list of seventy 717 00:39:05,520 --> 00:39:08,240 Speaker 1: one to seventy three. We talked about the interior alignment 718 00:39:09,880 --> 00:39:14,560 Speaker 1: at number seventy one. I've Deonte Brown from Alabama. When 719 00:39:14,600 --> 00:39:17,920 Speaker 1: I mean when I mean big, three hundred and sixty 720 00:39:17,920 --> 00:39:20,759 Speaker 1: four pounds is big massive. Now, I don't think he 721 00:39:20,760 --> 00:39:22,720 Speaker 1: should play it that. I think he should get himself 722 00:39:22,719 --> 00:39:24,320 Speaker 1: down to three forty five and that should be his 723 00:39:24,360 --> 00:39:26,279 Speaker 1: weight going forward. But he holds up three forty five 724 00:39:26,560 --> 00:39:28,919 Speaker 1: pretty well. Three sixty four and then that so much. 725 00:39:29,080 --> 00:39:30,839 Speaker 1: He just looked heavy at the senior role. He's got 726 00:39:30,840 --> 00:39:32,680 Speaker 1: to cut that down. Get down at three forty five 727 00:39:33,400 --> 00:39:35,680 Speaker 1: in that range three forty five, three fifty and then 728 00:39:35,719 --> 00:39:38,200 Speaker 1: mash and that dude. His best tape I felt like 729 00:39:38,200 --> 00:39:40,480 Speaker 1: it was in twenty nineteen against Derek Brown number seven 730 00:39:40,560 --> 00:39:43,000 Speaker 1: or roll pick from last year's draft. He was phenomenal 731 00:39:43,360 --> 00:39:45,480 Speaker 1: in that game against Derek Brown. They have a battle. 732 00:39:45,640 --> 00:39:50,640 Speaker 1: And that's seventy three. Is a guy that I probably 733 00:39:50,719 --> 00:39:54,680 Speaker 1: like more than a lot of others, and that's Tray Smith, 734 00:39:55,440 --> 00:39:58,040 Speaker 1: guard from Tennessee, six five and a half three on 735 00:39:58,200 --> 00:40:01,880 Speaker 1: thirty one pounds, big long. There's a thought initially his 736 00:40:01,960 --> 00:40:05,360 Speaker 1: careek played tackle. He plays the game angry and violent, 737 00:40:05,360 --> 00:40:07,319 Speaker 1: and that's what you gotta have. You've got to have 738 00:40:07,400 --> 00:40:10,680 Speaker 1: those kind of players to play this game. And play 739 00:40:10,680 --> 00:40:14,840 Speaker 1: it at this level. Tray Smith is that guy. Now, 740 00:40:15,040 --> 00:40:18,200 Speaker 1: he's had some medical issues off the field, none having 741 00:40:18,200 --> 00:40:21,480 Speaker 1: to do with COVID, but those medical issues are going 742 00:40:21,520 --> 00:40:24,480 Speaker 1: to be ones that teams are going to have to investigate, 743 00:40:24,520 --> 00:40:30,399 Speaker 1: and investigate them heavily. But if you do your due 744 00:40:30,400 --> 00:40:33,000 Speaker 1: diligence and you realize that he and you find it 745 00:40:33,200 --> 00:40:37,279 Speaker 1: he's beyond those medical issues and he's ready to ball 746 00:40:37,600 --> 00:40:40,239 Speaker 1: and to sixty seven, you might get a gift. M 747 00:40:40,280 --> 00:40:42,520 Speaker 1: Scott reminds me a lot of Larry Warford, who played 748 00:40:42,560 --> 00:40:45,400 Speaker 1: for Lions played for the Saints, kind of a hammer 749 00:40:45,400 --> 00:40:50,120 Speaker 1: in the middle. I really liked Tray Smith, and the 750 00:40:50,160 --> 00:40:52,719 Speaker 1: more that I watched him, the more I felt like 751 00:40:52,800 --> 00:40:56,880 Speaker 1: it is untapped potential. Technique can go to you know what. 752 00:40:57,120 --> 00:40:58,920 Speaker 1: After a while, you know he can lean over a 753 00:40:58,960 --> 00:41:01,279 Speaker 1: little bit man when he gets hands in you, when 754 00:41:01,280 --> 00:41:05,399 Speaker 1: his feet are working, all levers all working together. Boy, 755 00:41:05,480 --> 00:41:07,320 Speaker 1: he can be as as good as any guard in 756 00:41:07,360 --> 00:41:10,160 Speaker 1: his draft. He's just not put it all together yet, 757 00:41:10,160 --> 00:41:12,840 Speaker 1: in large part because he dealt with those medical issues 758 00:41:12,840 --> 00:41:17,040 Speaker 1: and medical issues at Tennessee and missed a significant amount 759 00:41:17,040 --> 00:41:20,040 Speaker 1: of time. Now there could be a player up in 760 00:41:20,120 --> 00:41:23,600 Speaker 1: at top thirty, top forty that falls number sixty seven. 761 00:41:24,560 --> 00:41:26,479 Speaker 1: But those names I just gave you are all names. 762 00:41:26,520 --> 00:41:29,399 Speaker 1: I would be very happy with the Texans selecting at 763 00:41:29,800 --> 00:41:33,319 Speaker 1: number sixty seven. I'd be very happy with all of that. 764 00:41:33,680 --> 00:41:36,680 Speaker 1: I'm thinking big, I'm thinking violent, I'm thinking nasty, and 765 00:41:36,719 --> 00:41:39,000 Speaker 1: there are plenty of guys that fit the bill. No 766 00:41:39,040 --> 00:41:42,640 Speaker 1: doubt that earner around that number sixty seven where the 767 00:41:42,640 --> 00:41:44,600 Speaker 1: Texas will be picking in the third round. That you 768 00:41:44,640 --> 00:41:46,320 Speaker 1: can find at my Harris one hundred. Go check it 769 00:41:46,320 --> 00:41:48,200 Speaker 1: out Houston Texas dot com.
