1
00:00:00,880 --> 00:00:04,680
Speaker 1: Here's the snap, four man rush firing Daffield and got

2
00:00:04,720 --> 00:00:10,200
Speaker 1: a man rocking and roll touchdown. Texans game day is

3
00:00:10,280 --> 00:00:14,239
Speaker 1: every day. Yeah, nice ball, nice ball, five nights a week.

4
00:00:14,440 --> 00:00:20,319
Speaker 1: The hits keep on coming. Wows bringing down that cornerback. No,

5
00:00:20,840 --> 00:00:25,760
Speaker 1: it's Texans All Excess. Hey, Hey, what's up? Everybody? Welcome

6
00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:30,159
Speaker 1: into a Monday edition of Texans All Access, and we

7
00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:35,279
Speaker 1: are less than twenty four hours away from knowing what

8
00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:39,200
Speaker 1: the initial fifty three is going to look like on

9
00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:44,120
Speaker 1: this football squad. I'm John Harris, your host, joined by

10
00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:47,360
Speaker 1: Mark VanderMeer, who I hope is on the other side

11
00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:52,080
Speaker 1: of this glass. Mark. Yes, yes, very very nice. Yeah,

12
00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:54,360
Speaker 1: we've had we had a couple of this jointed shows,

13
00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:58,320
Speaker 1: but that's okay. We get it done. No questions asked.

14
00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:00,560
Speaker 1: We're from andre Ware. We talked him a little bit.

15
00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:03,000
Speaker 1: He had something to say that struck me because I've

16
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:04,800
Speaker 1: been thinking about this today. He was talking about Sam

17
00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:06,720
Speaker 1: Howell from the University of North Carolina and he said

18
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:09,520
Speaker 1: something very interesting. So we're gonna have from Andrea Ware

19
00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:12,160
Speaker 1: in a little bit. But Mark, we've got a little

20
00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:15,200
Speaker 1: bit of news. We have not seen the cavalcade of

21
00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:19,040
Speaker 1: news I thought or that we thought we would see.

22
00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:25,959
Speaker 1: But we've heard two players waved, slashed injured, one player

23
00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:31,039
Speaker 1: coming back, that being Laramy Tunsel. That was great news,

24
00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:34,680
Speaker 1: but we haven't seen kind of this big. I thought

25
00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:37,600
Speaker 1: we would see more of it, that we would see

26
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:42,360
Speaker 1: more players on Twitter, you know, with thoughts of hey,

27
00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:45,080
Speaker 1: thanks Houston, you know, moving on, or it didn't work

28
00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:47,080
Speaker 1: this time, Houston, but I'm moving on, or whatever the

29
00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:48,680
Speaker 1: case might be. I haven't seen a lot of that,

30
00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:52,920
Speaker 1: haven't got a lot of reports. But what we do

31
00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:58,240
Speaker 1: know is that linebacker Tay Davis and defensive back Cornell

32
00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:05,520
Speaker 1: Armstrong both waved slash injured. Now, if you're wondering, okay,

33
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:08,560
Speaker 1: what is the exactly the designation? The designation and a

34
00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:12,640
Speaker 1: lot of these things actually matters. Certain veterans will be released,

35
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:15,320
Speaker 1: which means they're not subject to waivers. When you say

36
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:17,680
Speaker 1: they're waived, it does mean that they are subject to

37
00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:21,040
Speaker 1: waiver claim, so a team can claim that, but seeing

38
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:25,000
Speaker 1: as though they are injured waived injured, they would more

39
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:28,600
Speaker 1: than likely have to revert to the injury list wherever

40
00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:30,680
Speaker 1: they're going to end up going a lot of times

41
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:33,480
Speaker 1: those guys get all the way through waivers and then

42
00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:37,000
Speaker 1: they go back to the IR or in some cases

43
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:39,880
Speaker 1: they get an injury settlement and then they're off on

44
00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:44,799
Speaker 1: their own. So Tay Davis, Cornel Armstrong, waved, slashed, injured,

45
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:48,680
Speaker 1: Mark any surprise with those two at all? Any other injured?

46
00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:51,200
Speaker 1: So that kind of maybe makes the decision a little

47
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:54,600
Speaker 1: bit easier. But those two being waived. Your thoughts, Well,

48
00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:56,720
Speaker 1: what I'm watching very closely here, Johnny is the play

49
00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:59,440
Speaker 1: by play person. Is the number fifty five that Tate

50
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:02,200
Speaker 1: Davis was wearing that Bernard Ric McKinney used to wear.

51
00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:05,600
Speaker 1: Is that going to end up on another player's body

52
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:08,640
Speaker 1: when the games get rolling? For real? Is there somebody

53
00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:11,239
Speaker 1: on the roster right now who would prefer number fifty five?

54
00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:14,160
Speaker 1: But Tay Davis somehow got here before he did, so

55
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:17,800
Speaker 1: he picked it up. These developments will be revealed later.

56
00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:21,880
Speaker 1: Okay the answers to these questions, But seriously, look, I

57
00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:24,160
Speaker 1: don't think anybody's surprised with either of these so far.

58
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:27,400
Speaker 1: We have a whole lot more coming, and I mentioned

59
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:30,160
Speaker 1: it in the off season. They have linebackers for days.

60
00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:33,160
Speaker 1: It's not like Tay Davis didn't do well for them,

61
00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:36,160
Speaker 1: but not well enough to crack whatever their first group

62
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:39,320
Speaker 1: is going to be. And in a four to three

63
00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:41,960
Speaker 1: six seven guys, I don't know what the number is

64
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:44,320
Speaker 1: gonna be, Johnny, but man, I want as many as

65
00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:47,120
Speaker 1: possible on that D line to be kept. And then

66
00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:50,560
Speaker 1: you start talking linebackers, that gets a little dicey as well.

67
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:52,480
Speaker 1: But you don't have to think of Whitney as a

68
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:55,520
Speaker 1: linebacker or Jacob Martin as a linebacker because they're not

69
00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:58,200
Speaker 1: their defensive lineman in this defense. So it changes the

70
00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:00,840
Speaker 1: equation a little bit. You know, you look at Kamu

71
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:05,800
Speaker 1: gruge Hill obviously, you look at Christian kirksee Zach Cunningham.

72
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:08,680
Speaker 1: You know, all these are frontline type guys, KPL, Kevin

73
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:12,080
Speaker 1: Pierre Lewis. These guys are in really good shape. Garrett Wallow,

74
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:14,360
Speaker 1: who they just drafted, I'm not sure what's gonna happen

75
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:16,480
Speaker 1: with him. Looks like he belongs when he's out there,

76
00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:18,360
Speaker 1: but he's not out there with the ones in these

77
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:20,960
Speaker 1: preseason affairs. So we've got a long way to go.

78
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:23,440
Speaker 1: But it's gonna happen in a short time. Is that

79
00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:25,640
Speaker 1: kind of a Yogi Barrett thing? A long way to go,

80
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:27,880
Speaker 1: it's gonna happen in a short period of time, because

81
00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:30,599
Speaker 1: as you said, it's tomorrow afternoon where you're gonna cut

82
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:32,520
Speaker 1: down of the fifty three and reports are gonna start

83
00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:34,480
Speaker 1: flying out the door. I thought they would fly up

84
00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:37,359
Speaker 1: by now, you know. I saw some guys walking around

85
00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:40,320
Speaker 1: the service level, maybe a few going into the doors

86
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:43,320
Speaker 1: that ultimately can head upstairs, and I thought, oh, there

87
00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:46,160
Speaker 1: they go. But we haven't heard too much yet, so

88
00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:49,080
Speaker 1: we'll see what the timing is. They do practice mid

89
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:51,920
Speaker 1: day tomorrow, and here's what you have to wonder in

90
00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:56,200
Speaker 1: that practice session. Is it gonna be a quote full squad,

91
00:04:56,279 --> 00:05:00,200
Speaker 1: meaning guys that you might release after practice practice saying,

92
00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:02,440
Speaker 1: or are they're gonna make their moves in the morning

93
00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:04,760
Speaker 1: and get down to the number before they had that

94
00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:09,240
Speaker 1: midday practice tomorrow. I am anxious to see that, yeah,

95
00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:11,719
Speaker 1: because when you're out of practice a lot of times,

96
00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:14,000
Speaker 1: that's when you get to remember. Jordan VC, I think

97
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:18,440
Speaker 1: it was second or third day. I'm looking around, going, huh,

98
00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:22,200
Speaker 1: who's eighty four? Now we had not gotten a transaction notice,

99
00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:25,960
Speaker 1: but we knew somebody even added because well there is

100
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:27,920
Speaker 1: in the flesh, well it can go the other way too,

101
00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:30,800
Speaker 1: and that is Hey, where's this guy? Where's that guy?

102
00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:34,480
Speaker 1: To me, your mind just starts racing for you know

103
00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:39,760
Speaker 1: what it could end up being. You mentioned changing numbers.

104
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:42,480
Speaker 1: I've been thinking about this for a while because we've

105
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:44,400
Speaker 1: talked about the defensive line, and we know the defensive

106
00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:46,799
Speaker 1: line is gonna end up probably being more than likely

107
00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:49,520
Speaker 1: going to end up being the toughest cut. And so

108
00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:52,360
Speaker 1: as I've watched kind of the defensive line, I'm like, Yo,

109
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:54,520
Speaker 1: who's gonna get cut from the defensive line so that

110
00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:57,400
Speaker 1: Roy Lopez doesn't have to wear seventy nine anymore? You know?

111
00:05:57,440 --> 00:05:59,680
Speaker 1: Can we get Roy out of seventy nine? It just

112
00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:02,080
Speaker 1: doesn't It doesn't look right like the other night. I

113
00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:05,160
Speaker 1: don't know. I don't know if you noticed this mark sometimes,

114
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:07,960
Speaker 1: you know, I noticed some weird things. But the Bucks

115
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:10,160
Speaker 1: had a defensive lineman by the name of Patrick O'Connor,

116
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:13,200
Speaker 1: and I remember that distinctly because that was one of

117
00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:15,320
Speaker 1: the smartest students I ever have. Not that guy, but

118
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:18,520
Speaker 1: a guy that I taught by the name of Patrick O'Connor.

119
00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:20,640
Speaker 1: I think he wrote a sixteen hundred in the SAT.

120
00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:23,240
Speaker 1: He would basically sleep through my class and then he

121
00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:25,839
Speaker 1: could recall every single word, I said. He was amazing. Anyhow,

122
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:28,320
Speaker 1: so I remember the name Patrick O'Connor. Well, he was

123
00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:30,600
Speaker 1: wearing seventy nine. I watched him against the Titans. I thought,

124
00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:34,279
Speaker 1: this guy's pretty this guy's pretty athletic. He was running

125
00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:39,880
Speaker 1: down on kickoff coverage as a defensive lineman wearing number

126
00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:41,520
Speaker 1: seventy nine. I was like, man, there there's something I

127
00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:43,719
Speaker 1: missed about the number seventy nine, Like is that for

128
00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:46,800
Speaker 1: you know, defensive lineman? They are athletes? Because that dude

129
00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:49,920
Speaker 1: was definitely an athlete, and we know Roy is an athlete,

130
00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:53,440
Speaker 1: and so they got me thinking about the defensive line.

131
00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:57,240
Speaker 1: I think, and we've talked about this, we think the

132
00:06:57,279 --> 00:07:00,440
Speaker 1: defensive line is the toughest cut. We talked talk to

133
00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:04,560
Speaker 1: a few of our luminaries this morning on Texas Monday,

134
00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:08,839
Speaker 1: and I'm not exactly sure who it was that said it,

135
00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:12,800
Speaker 1: but they said running back is the next most difficult cut.

136
00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:17,280
Speaker 1: Agree or disagree with that, I think, And let me

137
00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:18,880
Speaker 1: get to that in a second here because we do

138
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:22,120
Speaker 1: have semi breaking news here as we're on live and

139
00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:25,800
Speaker 1: here from the Hunday Texans radio studio, the Dolphinsie and

140
00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:30,080
Speaker 1: Rappaport tweeted this are releasing Benardrick McKinney. So the interesting

141
00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:32,080
Speaker 1: thing is you have the Shack loss in trade to

142
00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:36,080
Speaker 1: Miami for Benardrick McKinney. Losson ends up traded, McKinney ends

143
00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:38,880
Speaker 1: up released. So all right, I guess that was a

144
00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:41,800
Speaker 1: transaction that didn't work out for either team. Texans get

145
00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:44,360
Speaker 1: a sixth rounder out of the deal, and everybody, I'm

146
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:47,560
Speaker 1: with your day. So McKinney is now free agent once again,

147
00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:53,200
Speaker 1: thoughts interesting. Yeah, well, here's the thing with the Shack

148
00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:54,800
Speaker 1: loss in trade. We kind of we kind of talked

149
00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:58,360
Speaker 1: about this a little bit, we did and this morning,

150
00:07:58,480 --> 00:07:59,600
Speaker 1: and I don't know if we went too far into

151
00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:02,760
Speaker 1: but knowing that Benardrick more than likely Benardrick was going

152
00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:05,560
Speaker 1: to be waived here when he was with the Texas,

153
00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:08,800
Speaker 1: he was gonna be waived, and you go on your

154
00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:12,200
Speaker 1: merry way. So both teams end up getting a look

155
00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:14,840
Speaker 1: see at a guy that potentially could have been a fit.

156
00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:18,520
Speaker 1: Turns out it's not gonna end up being right for

157
00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:23,480
Speaker 1: either squad. For the Texans, I think the I think

158
00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:26,720
Speaker 1: was Shack back in March, they adjust his contract, and

159
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:29,280
Speaker 1: I think that's what's creating a little bit that's what's

160
00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:31,880
Speaker 1: creating dead money. I looked at it this way sometimes

161
00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:34,360
Speaker 1: if you if you net things out and kind of

162
00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:36,920
Speaker 1: take a step back and you because I know this

163
00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:39,480
Speaker 1: happened a lot with the DeAndre Hopkins trade. Oh, Hopkins

164
00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:43,160
Speaker 1: were David Johnson's Like, no, listen, it was not just

165
00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:45,960
Speaker 1: that you obviously had the opportunity to Jeff Ross Blacklock,

166
00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:49,920
Speaker 1: but because you also had that additional second round pick,

167
00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:51,880
Speaker 1: you're able to deal it to get Brandon Cooks. So

168
00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:55,480
Speaker 1: if you look at Hopkins for David Johnson, Russ Blacklock,

169
00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:57,720
Speaker 1: and Brandon Cooks, that's not always the best way to

170
00:08:57,720 --> 00:08:59,360
Speaker 1: look at it, but in some way you sort of

171
00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:01,160
Speaker 1: have to look at it that way. I'm like, okay,

172
00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:04,120
Speaker 1: well that looks that that it looks a little better.

173
00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:07,040
Speaker 1: Well if you look at this as you know what

174
00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:10,559
Speaker 1: the Texans, we're gonna more than likely gonna release but

175
00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:15,079
Speaker 1: Rodrick McKinney anyways, so they essentially, you know, if you

176
00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:17,040
Speaker 1: don't look at this way, they essentially bought a draft

177
00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:19,360
Speaker 1: pick for probably a little bit more than you would

178
00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:21,720
Speaker 1: spend for a six round draft pick. Is in essence,

179
00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:24,600
Speaker 1: what they've done is that something is that is that

180
00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:27,120
Speaker 1: the business you want to do every single time. No,

181
00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:30,960
Speaker 1: and I guarantee Nikossario would not Um would tell you

182
00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:32,520
Speaker 1: that's that's not the way they want to do business

183
00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:36,960
Speaker 1: every time. But if you salvage things in some sense

184
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:42,720
Speaker 1: by realizing this isn't right, let's move on, as opposed to, well,

185
00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:44,960
Speaker 1: we know this isn't right, Well, let's let a drag on.

186
00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:47,360
Speaker 1: That's when things end up being an issue. But you

187
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:49,319
Speaker 1: knew it. You knew it was an issue. You knew

188
00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:52,480
Speaker 1: the Jets needed a defensive end or a rusher, an

189
00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:55,000
Speaker 1: edge rusher of some sort because of Carl Carl Lawson

190
00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:57,679
Speaker 1: being hurt. Now Shack Lawson is gonna be no Carl Losson.

191
00:09:57,679 --> 00:10:00,960
Speaker 1: I can promise you that, but you can't and you

192
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:03,160
Speaker 1: can get and if you can get something out of

193
00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:06,160
Speaker 1: that knowing full well, look, Shack has not been the

194
00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:11,840
Speaker 1: best reforming defensive end edge rusher on your squad. There's

195
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:14,840
Speaker 1: and it's been very clear, can we get something for him?

196
00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:16,560
Speaker 1: And they were able to, and so you kind of

197
00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:19,120
Speaker 1: kind of cut your losses. You know, Dolphins probably looked

198
00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:21,480
Speaker 1: at the same and today and this didn't really work

199
00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:25,480
Speaker 1: for us. So let's move on. So you know, I

200
00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:27,839
Speaker 1: hate to say this about b MAC because I love him,

201
00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:30,880
Speaker 1: I love everything that he's about when it comes to football.

202
00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:34,800
Speaker 1: But this game from the time he got in the league,

203
00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:39,199
Speaker 1: over those six years he got in twenty fifteen, when

204
00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:41,400
Speaker 1: he came into the league, teams were still running twenty

205
00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:43,480
Speaker 1: one personnel, they were still running two backs, they were

206
00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:47,040
Speaker 1: running even twelve, you know, heavy twelve personnel. The game

207
00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:50,600
Speaker 1: really hadn't kind of taken to the airwaves and really

208
00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:54,200
Speaker 1: become the space game it's become. And that's when Broder

209
00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:56,760
Speaker 1: went from being a really valuable piece that you really

210
00:10:56,800 --> 00:11:00,760
Speaker 1: needed to stop the run in certain places to Okay,

211
00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:02,840
Speaker 1: this is a space game, and this is not the

212
00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:06,080
Speaker 1: type of game that Bernardrick plays and plays very well.

213
00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:10,520
Speaker 1: So it it's not too surprising that down in Miami

214
00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:12,520
Speaker 1: they kind of saw some of the same things that

215
00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:15,800
Speaker 1: we're holding him up here as far as being a

216
00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:18,600
Speaker 1: three down guy, guy who can play in coverage and

217
00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:20,959
Speaker 1: play coverage, well, he's a six foot three, two hundred

218
00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:24,240
Speaker 1: and fifty five pound linebackers that linebacker went two hundred

219
00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:26,080
Speaker 1: and thirty five, two hundred forty pound guys that can

220
00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:29,360
Speaker 1: fly are now more than norm playing that position like

221
00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:31,320
Speaker 1: you see in college football so, Mark, it's not too

222
00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:34,680
Speaker 1: surprising to hear that about Bernardrick McKey. Yeah, and I

223
00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:36,320
Speaker 1: think with the Shack Lawson thing, I don't know if

224
00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:39,160
Speaker 1: I said it this way this morning, Johnny, but because

225
00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:42,680
Speaker 1: they did a good job and bringing in a lot

226
00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:47,319
Speaker 1: of good defensive linemene, that enabled them and maybe forced

227
00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:49,840
Speaker 1: their hand to do what they did with Lawson, which

228
00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:52,360
Speaker 1: has trade him to the Jets. Right, if they didn't

229
00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:58,160
Speaker 1: have these good acquisitions other than him, they wouldn't be

230
00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:00,120
Speaker 1: able to do it. They would say, all right, just

231
00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:02,040
Speaker 1: see what happens in the regular season. Maybe a light

232
00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:04,000
Speaker 1: goes on or something, or it was just a free

233
00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:07,160
Speaker 1: season thing or whatever. But look, everybody else is performing

234
00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:11,160
Speaker 1: and outperforming him who they intend to keep, so go

235
00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:12,800
Speaker 1: ahead and make the deal. And he was one of

236
00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:17,679
Speaker 1: the earlier acquisitions or transactions. He was acquired from the Dolphins.

237
00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:19,679
Speaker 1: But Ardric McKinney, we know the rest of the story.

238
00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:23,200
Speaker 1: And they had to do that because they felt like

239
00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:26,040
Speaker 1: they needed pass rush, they needed to fortify the four

240
00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:28,439
Speaker 1: to three, and they did it for all those reasons

241
00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:31,719
Speaker 1: and some other ones I'm not mentioning, probably, but this

242
00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:34,679
Speaker 1: is how it works out, and we move on Johnny

243
00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:38,440
Speaker 1: running back question that you had. Yeah, this is the

244
00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:42,120
Speaker 1: kind of thing, the running back who you keep who

245
00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:45,719
Speaker 1: you don't keep question. I bet that this is I'm

246
00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:47,640
Speaker 1: not gonna say a heated debate, but it's a debate.

247
00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:49,959
Speaker 1: It's a discussion. There are a lot of different differing

248
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:53,199
Speaker 1: opinions here, probably in the room, and you know, age

249
00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:56,160
Speaker 1: might factor in, money might factor in. But if you

250
00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:59,120
Speaker 1: take those things and put them aside, you know, Andrea

251
00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:03,000
Speaker 1: said something interesting about Scottie Phillips being the kind of

252
00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:05,640
Speaker 1: guy who you would think would be good no matter

253
00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:08,720
Speaker 1: what the situation is, ones against the ones, twos against

254
00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:12,720
Speaker 1: the twos, that his ability will translate to ones against

255
00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:17,920
Speaker 1: one's scenarios. That's an interesting point right there. I want

256
00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:22,280
Speaker 1: to get your feedback on that. And he's just, you know,

257
00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:24,000
Speaker 1: he's the kind of guy who lit it up in

258
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:25,880
Speaker 1: the preseason, lit it up. I mean, he did well

259
00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:30,000
Speaker 1: in the preseason. It's just it's a tough cut, Johnny.

260
00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:33,960
Speaker 1: I got so much of an opportunity here with these

261
00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:37,240
Speaker 1: veterans guys. I know, I have a lot of tape

262
00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:40,040
Speaker 1: on proven track record, but it is running back, and

263
00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:41,960
Speaker 1: we all know the half life of a running backs

264
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:44,840
Speaker 1: what like a couple of years basically, so let's see

265
00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:49,120
Speaker 1: how that goes. Yeah, I have gone back and I've

266
00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:52,480
Speaker 1: gone back and forth on this with Mark Ingram, you know,

267
00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:57,760
Speaker 1: every with every guy at each position. It's like, Okay,

268
00:13:57,800 --> 00:14:00,000
Speaker 1: this is what I want to see from this particular

269
00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:02,599
Speaker 1: their guy. This is what I want to see. And

270
00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:05,040
Speaker 1: you know it doesn't you know, Trod, Taylor, Davis, Smillan,

271
00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:07,000
Speaker 1: you know, each guy. In my mind, I've kind of

272
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:09,680
Speaker 1: come up with this, this is what I want to see.

273
00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:11,360
Speaker 1: These are the things I know that they can do.

274
00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:12,960
Speaker 1: This is the thing I'd like to be a well.

275
00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:15,800
Speaker 1: Seeing with Mark being a thirty plus year old running back,

276
00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:17,760
Speaker 1: I thought I want to see juice. Well, I think

277
00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:19,440
Speaker 1: we've seen that. I think we've seen that he's still

278
00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:23,080
Speaker 1: got some tread on the tires, and I feel I

279
00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:26,480
Speaker 1: feel pretty good about that. I think Philip, Philip's the

280
00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:29,200
Speaker 1: type of back I think needs maybe kind of work up,

281
00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:32,360
Speaker 1: work into a ladder a little bit, and I think

282
00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:36,040
Speaker 1: having LT back is that that will definitely help that group.

283
00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:39,520
Speaker 1: LT AT LT is something that we absolutely need to

284
00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:42,680
Speaker 1: have now the right side, you know Clinton Show, We're

285
00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:45,200
Speaker 1: talking about it a little while ago, as I was

286
00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:47,480
Speaker 1: driving listening to them, and I think they hit on it.

287
00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:51,800
Speaker 1: I think that right side needs to, you know, take

288
00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:53,680
Speaker 1: it a step up a notch. I don't know how

289
00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:55,400
Speaker 1: that's gonna play out. They got a couple of weeks

290
00:14:55,400 --> 00:14:57,840
Speaker 1: to figure out whether it's gonna be you know, Max

291
00:14:57,880 --> 00:15:01,720
Speaker 1: and Charlie or some other combinations or somehow they're gonna

292
00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:04,440
Speaker 1: figure that out. But I feel like with Titus next

293
00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:06,920
Speaker 1: to Laramie, next to Justin britt Well, then get some

294
00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:09,200
Speaker 1: people moved off the ball. And that was the one

295
00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:11,480
Speaker 1: thing the other night. But I think Philip's gotta kind

296
00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:13,400
Speaker 1: of get in a rhythm with those guys. Philip's a

297
00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:16,680
Speaker 1: good cut back runner, and I think Laramie being quick

298
00:15:16,680 --> 00:15:19,280
Speaker 1: and strong on the backside of runs helps Philip because

299
00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:21,920
Speaker 1: Philip can cut behind all that. But if if mark

300
00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:25,560
Speaker 1: Ingraham's thirty plus, you know, Rex Burkhead, I think is

301
00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:33,040
Speaker 1: thirty one, you dug David Johnson is not not thirty yet,

302
00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:36,160
Speaker 1: but I think he's he's up there because he's drafted

303
00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:40,840
Speaker 1: in twenty fifteen, so you know, he's twenty eight twenty nine.

304
00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:43,880
Speaker 1: So you're talking about if you keep four backs in

305
00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:46,080
Speaker 1: the four that we talked a lot about Mark Ingraham,

306
00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:51,000
Speaker 1: Philip Lindsay, Rex Birkhead, and David Johnson. There isn't but

307
00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:54,040
Speaker 1: you know, Philip is under. Philip's the only back under

308
00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:58,320
Speaker 1: twenty eight twenty nine. Now, if you've got four guys

309
00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:02,400
Speaker 1: back there, does that matter? I don't know. I don't.

310
00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:04,200
Speaker 1: I don't know if that matters too much. If they're

311
00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:07,320
Speaker 1: all sort of kind of shucking in jiving all together,

312
00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:10,400
Speaker 1: that one guy does have to do the Derreck Henry

313
00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:12,760
Speaker 1: thing that's thirty. You know, the guys can kind of

314
00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:15,160
Speaker 1: spread it around. They can keep their juice for eighteen weeks.

315
00:16:15,880 --> 00:16:19,080
Speaker 1: But Scottie Phillips said Lee's being added to that mix

316
00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:22,480
Speaker 1: would keep you young and would give you fresh legs.

317
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:26,320
Speaker 1: So I just in the point you made about Scotty,

318
00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:29,640
Speaker 1: whether it's the ones or twos or whomever, the one

319
00:16:29,680 --> 00:16:33,160
Speaker 1: thing that I've noticed, no matter what, Scotti is running

320
00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:36,160
Speaker 1: behind the twos or the threes, mainly he's got an

321
00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:38,600
Speaker 1: extra gear. He's got it. He's got a different gear

322
00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:40,760
Speaker 1: that one run he had off the right side the

323
00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:45,000
Speaker 1: other night. Mark, I mean hit the gas, Holy smokes.

324
00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:48,160
Speaker 1: I mean he saw a seam and it was on,

325
00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:53,480
Speaker 1: and he doesn't he doesn't pitter patter. He's because of

326
00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:55,560
Speaker 1: the way he's built. He doesn't take a lot of

327
00:16:55,680 --> 00:16:59,040
Speaker 1: direct shots. He hit that thing down hill and I

328
00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:01,280
Speaker 1: just remember, I see he's going through the hole. I'm like,

329
00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:03,920
Speaker 1: who I mean? It was kind of that, just that

330
00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:09,960
Speaker 1: emphasis of him just hitting that hole and just taking off,

331
00:17:10,040 --> 00:17:15,159
Speaker 1: and that was That's what you might lose because I

332
00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:17,440
Speaker 1: think if you put him on on the waiver, you

333
00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:21,040
Speaker 1: subject him to the waiver process. As Dre said, as

334
00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:23,040
Speaker 1: we both talked about the other night at the game,

335
00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:25,800
Speaker 1: I don't think you can. I don't think you can

336
00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:28,040
Speaker 1: hide him anymore. Last year you could because there are

337
00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:30,399
Speaker 1: no preseason games. But this year, I don't know that

338
00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:32,160
Speaker 1: you can because he's performed well and off in those

339
00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:38,440
Speaker 1: preseason games that it's gonna be very, very difficult to

340
00:17:38,520 --> 00:17:41,080
Speaker 1: keep him out of the mix at all. All right, Mark,

341
00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:43,760
Speaker 1: I want to hit one thing real fast, not well

342
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:45,800
Speaker 1: kind of Texans related, but I want to make sure

343
00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:49,120
Speaker 1: we hit this. San Francisco forty nine ers just put

344
00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:53,280
Speaker 1: on a statement former Texans and it's from former Texas

345
00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:57,160
Speaker 1: linebacker coach Johnny Holland. He has done a linebackers coach

346
00:17:57,480 --> 00:18:01,119
Speaker 1: in San Francisco, for Demiko Ryan's who's an evens coordinator there,

347
00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:03,520
Speaker 1: and he said it's been an emotional few years for

348
00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:06,040
Speaker 1: me my family. In September twenty nineteen, I was diagnosed

349
00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:10,560
Speaker 1: with multiple melanoma maloma miloma and have gone through several

350
00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:13,960
Speaker 1: rounds of remission and relapse. Unfortunately, the cancer's return and

351
00:18:14,080 --> 00:18:16,600
Speaker 1: beginning on September six, I will take some time away

352
00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:20,120
Speaker 1: from the team to receive treatment. Mark, that's awful news.

353
00:18:20,119 --> 00:18:22,119
Speaker 1: You knew Johnny when he was with the team. I

354
00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:25,720
Speaker 1: was with the team yet, but that's awful news. But

355
00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:28,920
Speaker 1: we know. Our thoughts go out to Johnny Holland for sure. Absolutely.

356
00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:32,320
Speaker 1: I saw this and my heart sank. Johnny Holland is

357
00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:35,800
Speaker 1: such a terrific guy. Really enjoyed seeing him around the

358
00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:40,960
Speaker 1: building here interviewing him. And it's just terrible. I mean,

359
00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:43,399
Speaker 1: you think you have the thing beat and then it

360
00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:46,040
Speaker 1: comes back and then you have to deal with it,

361
00:18:46,119 --> 00:18:48,800
Speaker 1: and it's your career. It's I mean, it's your life

362
00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:52,760
Speaker 1: and then your career also. You know, look, coaches lived

363
00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:55,399
Speaker 1: for this stuff. Okay, they just want to be a

364
00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:58,480
Speaker 1: part of it. They want to bathe in NFL football,

365
00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:02,040
Speaker 1: But what's most important is your health, your family, and

366
00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:04,320
Speaker 1: he's gonna take care of that. So let's wish him

367
00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:07,440
Speaker 1: our best. And it is a terrible story, obviously. It

368
00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:09,879
Speaker 1: is thoughts from everybody here in Houston going out to

369
00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:13,359

412
00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:51,919
Speaker 1: your host, and we got a chance to catch up

413
00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:55,080
Speaker 1: with Andre where our game analyst. And he's also got

414
00:21:55,119 --> 00:21:57,280
Speaker 1: a college game this weekend for the first time. I

415
00:21:57,280 --> 00:21:59,240
Speaker 1: think it's Friday night. He's got a big one. We're

416
00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:01,600
Speaker 1: talked him about that, but we wanted to talk about

417
00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:05,800
Speaker 1: the Saturday night game first. First, before we get into

418
00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:09,080
Speaker 1: the fifty three situation. Here some of your thoughts on

419
00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:11,960
Speaker 1: what you saw the other night. Too many turnovers, obviously,

420
00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:15,360
Speaker 1: some good things. Obviously, we like to see the defense

421
00:22:15,359 --> 00:22:18,680
Speaker 1: get after it the way they did. Your thoughts overall, yeah,

422
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:22,360
Speaker 1: just uh, some peaks and valleys where you had some

423
00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:24,600
Speaker 1: really good things that out in the past rush and

424
00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:28,600
Speaker 1: you're you're starting to get that consistently from the same

425
00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:30,879
Speaker 1: group of guys, which is good because you know that

426
00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:34,240
Speaker 1: you can rely on them once the regular season starts,

427
00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:37,560
Speaker 1: and then you know the valleys. Obviously, the turnovers, not

428
00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:40,320
Speaker 1: taking care of the ball being inside the five yard

429
00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:44,679
Speaker 1: line and not being able to convert and score that

430
00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:48,399
Speaker 1: those were tough, but they'll grow from the situations that

431
00:22:48,920 --> 00:22:52,919
Speaker 1: you can't create in practice. Everybody's got a clean slate

432
00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:55,879
Speaker 1: once you get down to the fifty three man roster

433
00:22:56,000 --> 00:23:01,960
Speaker 1: tomorrow and everybody starts the season fresh. Dre your thoughts.

434
00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:04,440
Speaker 1: You've played the position. You know what goes into playing

435
00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:07,080
Speaker 1: a position. You've been a rookie in this league playing

436
00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:11,960
Speaker 1: the position of quarterback. Davis Mills after seeing him in

437
00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:15,800
Speaker 1: training camp practices, after seeing him three preseason games, I

438
00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:18,080
Speaker 1: don't know. I think the total of sixty five sixty

439
00:23:18,119 --> 00:23:21,600
Speaker 1: six passes that we've seen him throwing preseason games. What's

440
00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:25,280
Speaker 1: your overall assessment of where he is right now based

441
00:23:25,320 --> 00:23:27,760
Speaker 1: on where he was drafted, not having played a ton

442
00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:30,080
Speaker 1: at Stanford. What do you think of Davis and what

443
00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:31,879
Speaker 1: do you think his future is going to be? Just

444
00:23:31,920 --> 00:23:34,240
Speaker 1: based on what you've seen this training camp in preseason,

445
00:23:35,080 --> 00:23:37,639
Speaker 1: well like him from his standpoint of growth from you know,

446
00:23:37,680 --> 00:23:40,399
Speaker 1: when he first got to Houston and hadn't played a

447
00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:42,040
Speaker 1: whole lot of football, and then all of a sudden,

448
00:23:42,040 --> 00:23:44,080
Speaker 1: you know, he finds himself in a training camp for

449
00:23:44,119 --> 00:23:46,280
Speaker 1: the first time in the NFL, and then you know,

450
00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:50,080
Speaker 1: preseason games, and you thought until this past Saturday night,

451
00:23:50,119 --> 00:23:53,760
Speaker 1: he was progressing along at a pace that you know,

452
00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:56,560
Speaker 1: raise him eyebrows like, wait a minute, And I think

453
00:23:56,600 --> 00:24:00,800
Speaker 1: myself included, I thought, well, there's an outside shot you

454
00:24:00,800 --> 00:24:03,320
Speaker 1: know here that you know he progresses if he's doing

455
00:24:03,359 --> 00:24:05,440
Speaker 1: this that you know, who knows who the day one

456
00:24:05,520 --> 00:24:08,280
Speaker 1: starter is because of the way the reps were being dispersed.

457
00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:11,200
Speaker 1: But turns out the coaching staff it looks like just

458
00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:14,280
Speaker 1: wanted to get him playing and this is his part

459
00:24:14,320 --> 00:24:18,399
Speaker 1: of the season, the preseason for his development, so to speak.

460
00:24:18,480 --> 00:24:20,640
Speaker 1: But I think he's got a little ways to go.

461
00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:25,119
Speaker 1: And it showed me the other night when there should

462
00:24:25,119 --> 00:24:28,400
Speaker 1: have just been some throwaways even that you're throwing into

463
00:24:28,480 --> 00:24:31,840
Speaker 1: coverage with not only one defender there, but a couple

464
00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:35,320
Speaker 1: and a couple of them obviously were intercepted. Then there's

465
00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:38,240
Speaker 1: a good stuff where he's throwing the touchdown passes showing

466
00:24:38,320 --> 00:24:41,240
Speaker 1: some zip and some touch. Those are the things that

467
00:24:41,320 --> 00:24:43,080
Speaker 1: you like. But he's got to stay away from the

468
00:24:43,119 --> 00:24:46,439
Speaker 1: mistakes to continue the growth that he's on and I

469
00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:49,879
Speaker 1: think he's gonna be just fine. Andre were joining us

470
00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:52,720
Speaker 1: on Texans Monday. Let's talk running backs here because this

471
00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:55,920
Speaker 1: is going to be interesting, you know. Yeah, Philip Lindsay

472
00:24:55,960 --> 00:24:58,080
Speaker 1: of mark Ingram, who looked good the other night, by

473
00:24:58,119 --> 00:25:00,639
Speaker 1: the way, and I know he's in the fortun and

474
00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:03,520
Speaker 1: that's a good thing. And I heard Sean talking about

475
00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:06,919
Speaker 1: this this morning with Baltimore losing JK. Dobbins. Would the

476
00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:10,760
Speaker 1: Texans maybe entertain dealing Ingram? Try? I want to ask

477
00:25:10,760 --> 00:25:13,000
Speaker 1: you about that first before we talk about Scottie Phillips,

478
00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:15,800
Speaker 1: who we saw a bunch of in this preseason. The

479
00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:18,680
Speaker 1: way I feel about that suggestion is look, and maybe

480
00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:21,280
Speaker 1: they end up doing it. I don't know. But Ingram,

481
00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:24,080
Speaker 1: not only for his running ability, but the kind of

482
00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:28,080
Speaker 1: guy he is on this particular team in their situation.

483
00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:33,320
Speaker 1: I love him here and I think that his presence

484
00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:35,879
Speaker 1: on the team is about more than just what he

485
00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:38,679
Speaker 1: does between the lines. It's about having him around, so

486
00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:40,880
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's worth doing that. Maybe they

487
00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:44,600
Speaker 1: think otherwise, we'll see how it goes. What are your thoughts, Yeah,

488
00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:46,320
Speaker 1: I think that was part of the reason, because you're

489
00:25:46,320 --> 00:25:49,240
Speaker 1: trying to build a culture of guys that are passionate

490
00:25:49,280 --> 00:25:51,959
Speaker 1: about the game, and you want those types in the

491
00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:54,560
Speaker 1: locker room. So I think certainly that went into signing

492
00:25:54,640 --> 00:25:59,000
Speaker 1: Margaret Morris got a lot of football left Johnny Krichner

493
00:25:59,080 --> 00:26:00,960
Speaker 1: from Wrong I know his last his name is Edwards,

494
00:26:01,040 --> 00:26:07,040
Speaker 1: but George Edwards or Gus Edwards, Gus Edwards at Baltimore,

495
00:26:07,160 --> 00:26:11,120
Speaker 1: he is he is more than capable of taking the load,

496
00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:13,720
Speaker 1: and that's I think that's why they allowed Mark to

497
00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:17,120
Speaker 1: leave in free agency, was because Gus had emerged so

498
00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:19,400
Speaker 1: well for them. But now they're only down to one

499
00:26:19,480 --> 00:26:23,600
Speaker 1: experience back in Baltimore, so it makes a lot of sense.

500
00:26:23,680 --> 00:26:27,240
Speaker 1: I know Mark satisfied where he is. He's he loves

501
00:26:27,280 --> 00:26:30,400
Speaker 1: the city of Houston, loves the opportunity he's been given here,

502
00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:32,400
Speaker 1: but you know, it's part of the business, and he's

503
00:26:32,400 --> 00:26:36,160
Speaker 1: been around now in his eleventh year. He understands that

504
00:26:36,200 --> 00:26:38,920
Speaker 1: if he were to be traded back to Baltimore, I'd

505
00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:42,879
Speaker 1: hate to see him go personally, but it obviously could happen.

506
00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:44,920
Speaker 1: But he's got a lot of will on, a lot

507
00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:47,720
Speaker 1: of tread on those tires. But you don't know how

508
00:26:47,760 --> 00:26:49,800
Speaker 1: this whole thing is going to shake out and how

509
00:26:50,280 --> 00:26:52,800
Speaker 1: Tim Kelly's gonna use this position. You guys think the

510
00:26:52,840 --> 00:26:55,720
Speaker 1: defensive line, I think is the toughest cut. I think

511
00:26:56,200 --> 00:26:58,240
Speaker 1: that room, the running back room is going to be

512
00:26:58,320 --> 00:27:01,320
Speaker 1: the toughest because of just the name games there, the

513
00:27:01,359 --> 00:27:05,520
Speaker 1: way these guys have competed and performed during the preseason,

514
00:27:05,640 --> 00:27:09,280
Speaker 1: Scottie Phillips, even Buddy Howell having a couple of big runs,

515
00:27:09,359 --> 00:27:13,000
Speaker 1: David Johnson flashing at times, and then Rex Burkhead, And

516
00:27:13,359 --> 00:27:15,359
Speaker 1: I said during the broadcast the other night that I

517
00:27:15,359 --> 00:27:19,240
Speaker 1: think it's a direct competition between Burkehead and Buddy Howe

518
00:27:19,359 --> 00:27:22,439
Speaker 1: because both of them obviously can give you something in

519
00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:25,600
Speaker 1: the running game, but they both play special teams as well,

520
00:27:25,960 --> 00:27:28,720
Speaker 1: and so who knows which one of the two will

521
00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:30,720
Speaker 1: be left standing once it's all said and done. But

522
00:27:30,760 --> 00:27:34,320
Speaker 1: it is a very very competitive situation in the running

523
00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:37,440
Speaker 1: back room. Dre, you stole my thunder with the running backs,

524
00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:38,760
Speaker 1: because that was where I was going to go because

525
00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:41,040
Speaker 1: I know that the three of us have talked on

526
00:27:41,080 --> 00:27:44,040
Speaker 1: air and off air about Scottie Phillips and what Scotti

527
00:27:44,160 --> 00:27:47,800
Speaker 1: has done. And there are two players to me, and

528
00:27:47,840 --> 00:27:51,000
Speaker 1: we've the names have been mentioned in this segment that

529
00:27:51,520 --> 00:27:54,080
Speaker 1: I would hate to see them leave, because, hey, I

530
00:27:54,119 --> 00:27:56,720
Speaker 1: do think there's something there. I think there's a future

531
00:27:56,800 --> 00:27:59,880
Speaker 1: with them. Maybe not as a top player in the league,

532
00:27:59,880 --> 00:28:01,520
Speaker 1: but if you think there's a future with them. And

533
00:28:01,560 --> 00:28:04,359
Speaker 1: they've shown a ton in this training camp in preseason,

534
00:28:04,560 --> 00:28:06,520
Speaker 1: and one is Scottie Phillips and the other is the

535
00:28:06,520 --> 00:28:08,840
Speaker 1: receiver that you mentioned and I had a chance to

536
00:28:08,880 --> 00:28:12,800
Speaker 1: catch up with whose story is absolutely amazing, and that's

537
00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:14,840
Speaker 1: Jordan VC and the catchy made the other night. He's

538
00:28:14,840 --> 00:28:18,000
Speaker 1: done great things in three preseason games, Drake. Could you

539
00:28:18,119 --> 00:28:21,560
Speaker 1: make a case for him making the team. I do

540
00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:24,720
Speaker 1: think practice squad would be an opportunity there for him,

541
00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:26,240
Speaker 1: and I would love it for him to make the

542
00:28:26,280 --> 00:28:30,199
Speaker 1: fifty three. With Scottie Phillips and Jordan VC. Could you

543
00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:32,320
Speaker 1: see a scenario where both make it one of them

544
00:28:32,359 --> 00:28:34,439
Speaker 1: make it. I think it's easy to say, well, they

545
00:28:34,440 --> 00:28:36,200
Speaker 1: won't make it because there are veterans in front of him.

546
00:28:36,200 --> 00:28:38,000
Speaker 1: But how do you see it playing out for those

547
00:28:38,040 --> 00:28:41,200
Speaker 1: two guys in particular, Scottie Phillips and Jordan VC, two

548
00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:45,760
Speaker 1: guys we have liked a lot. I don't know if

549
00:28:45,760 --> 00:28:49,720
Speaker 1: I've seen anybody else flash enough to where Jordan VC

550
00:28:49,920 --> 00:28:53,360
Speaker 1: doesn't make the team. You know, if you're just going

551
00:28:53,480 --> 00:28:57,320
Speaker 1: by sheer competition, and sometimes coaches throw that word out

552
00:28:57,360 --> 00:29:01,840
Speaker 1: a lot, but then contracts have obviously a different effect

553
00:29:01,880 --> 00:29:05,280
Speaker 1: on how the how the competition shakes itself out. But

554
00:29:05,720 --> 00:29:08,040
Speaker 1: I could see a scenario where both make it because

555
00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:09,760
Speaker 1: you sit here and look at I look at a

556
00:29:09,800 --> 00:29:12,880
Speaker 1: depth chart, and I don't know that there's been anyone

557
00:29:12,880 --> 00:29:16,520
Speaker 1: else since I'll played Jordan DC, Nico Collins has played well,

558
00:29:16,880 --> 00:29:21,480
Speaker 1: Connolly's played well, Brandon Cooks obviously, and maybe k QT

559
00:29:21,640 --> 00:29:25,640
Speaker 1: obviously in the slot that's about four, and then Anthony

560
00:29:25,680 --> 00:29:27,760
Speaker 1: Miller will be on this team. That's fine. How many

561
00:29:27,800 --> 00:29:31,440
Speaker 1: do you keep would be the question, And if they're six,

562
00:29:31,560 --> 00:29:34,680
Speaker 1: then I can see him obviously making the team, and

563
00:29:34,720 --> 00:29:36,800
Speaker 1: I would imagine that they're going to keep at least

564
00:29:36,840 --> 00:29:40,080
Speaker 1: that many. But Scottie Phillips won't be around if you

565
00:29:40,240 --> 00:29:43,560
Speaker 1: try to hide him on the practice roster that we

566
00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:46,240
Speaker 1: talked about that during the game the other night, somebody's

567
00:29:46,240 --> 00:29:48,440
Speaker 1: gonna pick him up because of the way that he

568
00:29:48,560 --> 00:29:54,800
Speaker 1: performed obviously, not just last or Saturday night, but all preseason.

569
00:29:55,040 --> 00:29:57,880
Speaker 1: And so he's he's come to practice, he's put the

570
00:29:57,920 --> 00:30:00,680
Speaker 1: work in. I know Danny Barrett loves this room because

571
00:30:00,720 --> 00:30:04,360
Speaker 1: it's a room for the full of veteran players. Everybody's

572
00:30:04,400 --> 00:30:09,200
Speaker 1: got some experience of some sort. And he just remember

573
00:30:09,240 --> 00:30:11,200
Speaker 1: in Green Bay. I'm telling me, I can't wait to

574
00:30:11,240 --> 00:30:13,960
Speaker 1: see what Scotty does because of the kind of camp

575
00:30:14,280 --> 00:30:17,000
Speaker 1: that he had. He mentioned his name in particular. Well,

576
00:30:17,320 --> 00:30:21,440
Speaker 1: he's satisfied in every Green Bay in Dallas and obviously

577
00:30:22,120 --> 00:30:27,360
Speaker 1: Saturday night against Tampa Baby, so many tough decisions. Hey,

578
00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:31,240
Speaker 1: Jacksonville Week one opponent, and Trevor Lawrence looked pretty good

579
00:30:31,280 --> 00:30:34,080
Speaker 1: yesterday against whatever he was facing that the Dallas Cowboys

580
00:30:34,120 --> 00:30:37,000
Speaker 1: put out there. How's it gonna go, Dre Lawrence on

581
00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:43,000
Speaker 1: that team? Irvin Meyer coaching, you got NFL coordinator experience there,

582
00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:49,160
Speaker 1: the college coach that communication rookie quarterback. The roster is

583
00:30:49,240 --> 00:30:51,560
Speaker 1: not excellent, but they do us some talent. What do

584
00:30:51,600 --> 00:30:54,400
Speaker 1: you think I think it's gonna be a mix of

585
00:30:54,560 --> 00:30:59,000
Speaker 1: exactly what Bill O'Brien gave Deshaun Watson in his rookie year.

586
00:30:59,520 --> 00:31:01,920
Speaker 1: There's gonna be a mix of what Urban likes to

587
00:31:01,960 --> 00:31:07,360
Speaker 1: do from the college game that Trevor is comfortable doing

588
00:31:07,480 --> 00:31:10,800
Speaker 1: because he's a tremendous runner and he's a great athlete,

589
00:31:10,840 --> 00:31:14,360
Speaker 1: even for a guy his size at six six. So

590
00:31:14,960 --> 00:31:16,720
Speaker 1: I think there's gonna be a mix of that and

591
00:31:16,760 --> 00:31:21,320
Speaker 1: then the mix of Schottenheimer's stuff, you know, mixed with

592
00:31:21,360 --> 00:31:24,320
Speaker 1: a bunch of pro stuff in there. And it was

593
00:31:24,320 --> 00:31:27,560
Speaker 1: a good mix for Deshaun his rookie year. So that's

594
00:31:27,600 --> 00:31:29,920
Speaker 1: what I look for Jacksonville to kind of do, make

595
00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:32,600
Speaker 1: you play eleven on eleven or at least get you

596
00:31:32,720 --> 00:31:35,120
Speaker 1: thinking about it with the threat of Trevor Lawrence running

597
00:31:35,120 --> 00:31:38,200
Speaker 1: the football, and then they've got some capable weapons around him.

598
00:31:38,200 --> 00:31:42,360
Speaker 1: They've got an average i would say, offensive line to

599
00:31:42,400 --> 00:31:45,320
Speaker 1: protect him with, and he won't keep the ball very long.

600
00:31:45,400 --> 00:31:48,240
Speaker 1: It's gonna be get back. If it's five steps, then

601
00:31:48,240 --> 00:31:50,920
Speaker 1: it's coming out three steps. A quick game. A lot

602
00:31:50,960 --> 00:31:53,920
Speaker 1: of that just to build his confidence, especially early in

603
00:31:53,960 --> 00:31:58,120
Speaker 1: the season, especially in the opener against the Texans. So Dre,

604
00:31:58,280 --> 00:32:01,240
Speaker 1: let's flip the script, then let's get Lovey Smith's side

605
00:32:01,280 --> 00:32:04,880
Speaker 1: of this, you're taking on a quarterback that you haven't seen,

606
00:32:05,600 --> 00:32:08,520
Speaker 1: a different type of quarterback, a guy obviously you know

607
00:32:08,640 --> 00:32:11,120
Speaker 1: he can run. You know what he's done from his

608
00:32:11,240 --> 00:32:14,760
Speaker 1: days at Clemson. If you're Lovey Smith, how do you

609
00:32:14,880 --> 00:32:19,000
Speaker 1: go about facing Trevor Lawrence? Do you heat him up early?

610
00:32:19,160 --> 00:32:21,080
Speaker 1: Do you try and sit back and play zones and

611
00:32:21,160 --> 00:32:23,719
Speaker 1: make him try and fit into small areas? How do

612
00:32:23,760 --> 00:32:26,040
Speaker 1: you if you're Lovey Smith, how do you go about

613
00:32:26,120 --> 00:32:30,080
Speaker 1: facing Trevor Lawrence? I think if you know, obviously it's

614
00:32:30,080 --> 00:32:34,000
Speaker 1: a rookie quarterback plan and making his first NFL start,

615
00:32:34,040 --> 00:32:36,400
Speaker 1: I mean, real regular seasons start, they're gonna be some

616
00:32:36,440 --> 00:32:38,960
Speaker 1: butterflies there, so you know that, and I think you

617
00:32:39,080 --> 00:32:41,080
Speaker 1: take advantage of that, and you have to bring some

618
00:32:41,160 --> 00:32:43,840
Speaker 1: pressure early and get in his face and hope that

619
00:32:44,240 --> 00:32:46,080
Speaker 1: you know at some point, as again, you're not going

620
00:32:46,160 --> 00:32:48,560
Speaker 1: to live there all game long for sixty minutes, but

621
00:32:49,600 --> 00:32:51,920
Speaker 1: well maybe if that's the case and you're effective doing it,

622
00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:54,280
Speaker 1: you do it, but and it helps you win the

623
00:32:54,280 --> 00:32:56,880
Speaker 1: football game. But I think at some point you know,

624
00:32:56,960 --> 00:32:59,160
Speaker 1: he'll complete a few and you'll get out of that.

625
00:32:59,560 --> 00:33:02,360
Speaker 1: But honestly, early when you can really turn the game

626
00:33:02,360 --> 00:33:05,080
Speaker 1: in your favor. A bunch of three and outs to

627
00:33:05,120 --> 00:33:07,720
Speaker 1: give your offense a chance to go down and maybe

628
00:33:07,720 --> 00:33:09,680
Speaker 1: put some points on the board, get you a lead

629
00:33:09,720 --> 00:33:12,160
Speaker 1: early in the game. That you would pressure a young

630
00:33:12,240 --> 00:33:14,640
Speaker 1: kid like that. But Trevor's seen a lot of football.

631
00:33:14,680 --> 00:33:18,880
Speaker 1: Now he recognizes Blitz watching that game. He can protect

632
00:33:19,000 --> 00:33:23,360
Speaker 1: himself by redirecting protections at the line of scrimmage coverages.

633
00:33:23,680 --> 00:33:26,440
Speaker 1: There's nothing you're gonna show him that he hasn't seen

634
00:33:26,520 --> 00:33:29,240
Speaker 1: and knows the weaknesses of where to get the football

635
00:33:29,480 --> 00:33:33,200
Speaker 1: and how to hurt that coverage. So it's definitely early

636
00:33:33,240 --> 00:33:36,440
Speaker 1: in the ball game getting in his face. What is

637
00:33:36,480 --> 00:33:39,960
Speaker 1: it like this week for these teams without that fourth game?

638
00:33:40,080 --> 00:33:43,720
Speaker 1: I know that this week was about getting ready for

639
00:33:43,720 --> 00:33:45,560
Speaker 1: the opener for a lot of the vets and guys

640
00:33:45,560 --> 00:33:47,400
Speaker 1: who weren't going to play in that fourth game, but

641
00:33:47,440 --> 00:33:49,640
Speaker 1: the staff still had to operate. You still have to

642
00:33:49,680 --> 00:33:51,880
Speaker 1: get ready for a game on Thursday night's short week

643
00:33:51,920 --> 00:33:55,600
Speaker 1: and go out there with a product and perform. So

644
00:33:55,840 --> 00:33:58,760
Speaker 1: now you don't have that Onrey, did that fourth game

645
00:33:58,840 --> 00:34:03,240
Speaker 1: kind of resemble what you described in college as the

646
00:34:03,320 --> 00:34:05,280
Speaker 1: game with the guys who don't end up playing in

647
00:34:05,320 --> 00:34:07,040
Speaker 1: the game when you have the huge numbers on the

648
00:34:07,120 --> 00:34:08,600
Speaker 1: roster and you end up playing that what is it

649
00:34:08,600 --> 00:34:11,040
Speaker 1: on Monday or something? If it's a sort of fake

650
00:34:11,120 --> 00:34:20,319
Speaker 1: bowl game Obo Opportunity Bowl at And yeah, I mean

651
00:34:20,400 --> 00:34:23,160
Speaker 1: you wanted to play a certain amount of percentages so

652
00:34:23,200 --> 00:34:25,160
Speaker 1: you wouldn't have to go through that because OBO was

653
00:34:25,200 --> 00:34:28,319
Speaker 1: as grueling as as any game that you would play

654
00:34:28,360 --> 00:34:30,840
Speaker 1: in because you know, you don't have officials, cheap shots

655
00:34:30,840 --> 00:34:33,640
Speaker 1: are taking, Guys are trying to impress the coaches and

656
00:34:33,719 --> 00:34:37,080
Speaker 1: so on and so forth. So it's OBO was rough, man,

657
00:34:37,600 --> 00:34:40,880
Speaker 1: But that you're right in regards to I think what

658
00:34:40,960 --> 00:34:43,200
Speaker 1: it does is it takes an opportunity away from a

659
00:34:43,239 --> 00:34:48,080
Speaker 1: young player where they're trying to make the team. They're

660
00:34:48,200 --> 00:34:51,719
Speaker 1: trying to you need every opportunity that you can to

661
00:34:51,840 --> 00:34:56,640
Speaker 1: make the team, but it's it's one less opportunity to impress.

662
00:34:57,120 --> 00:35:00,520
Speaker 1: And so with that being said, you know, this is

663
00:35:00,560 --> 00:35:02,440
Speaker 1: it for some of them. Some of them their NFL

664
00:35:02,560 --> 00:35:05,400
Speaker 1: careers are over, whereas if you just had maybe the

665
00:35:05,520 --> 00:35:09,319
Speaker 1: one more game and you're on the fence to show

666
00:35:09,320 --> 00:35:13,719
Speaker 1: a coach, hey, this push this game pushes me over

667
00:35:13,760 --> 00:35:17,040
Speaker 1: the top, so to speak. It's just unfortunate. That's why

668
00:35:17,160 --> 00:35:19,040
Speaker 1: I wasn't a real big fan of the three game

669
00:35:19,400 --> 00:35:23,279
Speaker 1: preseason for that reason alone. Well, I just think that

670
00:35:23,320 --> 00:35:25,560
Speaker 1: this is the kind of game that Mills could use, right,

671
00:35:25,680 --> 00:35:29,320
Speaker 1: Mills could play three reporters again and get more reps.

672
00:35:29,320 --> 00:35:31,040
Speaker 1: And I know it's not going to be against ones,

673
00:35:31,080 --> 00:35:33,879
Speaker 1: but he just needs to play football. I still think

674
00:35:33,960 --> 00:35:36,360
Speaker 1: Nico Collins needs to play some football. I know that

675
00:35:36,400 --> 00:35:40,520
Speaker 1: he's gonna factor into this receiver equation for sure, but

676
00:35:40,680 --> 00:35:43,360
Speaker 1: he clearly needs to play a little football after missing

677
00:35:43,440 --> 00:35:46,239
Speaker 1: last year. And he looks real good at times, but

678
00:35:46,719 --> 00:35:48,960
Speaker 1: reps are needed. Look, it is what it is. They're

679
00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:50,360
Speaker 1: all gonna have to make the best of it. I

680
00:35:50,400 --> 00:35:53,640
Speaker 1: think every roster in the league right now, every city

681
00:35:53,680 --> 00:35:56,160
Speaker 1: in the league right now can say what we're saying

682
00:35:56,200 --> 00:35:59,239
Speaker 1: about certain members on their team. Maybe not Tampa because

683
00:35:59,280 --> 00:36:02,480
Speaker 1: oh my god, it loaded. Look at Ross Blacklock on

684
00:36:02,520 --> 00:36:05,120
Speaker 1: the defensive line. Could he use another preseason game and

685
00:36:05,160 --> 00:36:07,400
Speaker 1: some more experience? And then you know, you look at

686
00:36:07,480 --> 00:36:10,399
Speaker 1: Charlie heck Att at tackle. Could he use one more

687
00:36:10,560 --> 00:36:14,960
Speaker 1: preseason game to gain some more experience and confidence going

688
00:36:14,960 --> 00:36:17,920
Speaker 1: into the regular season. Absolutely, And those are you know,

689
00:36:18,000 --> 00:36:21,040
Speaker 1: those are players from last year's class that didn't obviously

690
00:36:21,080 --> 00:36:23,319
Speaker 1: didn't have the training camp, but didn't have the preseason.

691
00:36:23,400 --> 00:36:27,040
Speaker 1: So that's just where you grow is in the preseason,

692
00:36:27,120 --> 00:36:32,080
Speaker 1: and it's one less opportunity for players of that such Drey.

693
00:36:32,120 --> 00:36:34,359
Speaker 1: I'm glad you brought up Charlie Heck. He had two

694
00:36:34,400 --> 00:36:37,839
Speaker 1: consecutive blocks, pulling around on a little tackle rap dart

695
00:36:37,880 --> 00:36:41,360
Speaker 1: play and blasted a linebacker. You know, mark Ingram had

696
00:36:41,360 --> 00:36:45,399
Speaker 1: a couple of nice runs running behind big number sixty seven,

697
00:36:45,480 --> 00:36:47,520
Speaker 1: Charlie Heck. I mean, if there's a guy that's improved

698
00:36:47,520 --> 00:36:50,600
Speaker 1: more than Heck on this roster, I'm not totally sure

699
00:36:50,800 --> 00:36:53,200
Speaker 1: who it is. If it's not Scottie Phillips or Jordan VC.

700
00:36:53,400 --> 00:36:56,520
Speaker 1: I mean, Charlie Heck has come a long long way. Jay,

701
00:36:56,520 --> 00:36:58,560
Speaker 1: I want to talk about the Colts real fast, and

702
00:36:59,600 --> 00:37:01,800
Speaker 1: I have a feeling I know what the answer is

703
00:37:01,800 --> 00:37:05,120
Speaker 1: going to be, but there just gets to be kind

704
00:37:05,120 --> 00:37:10,359
Speaker 1: of a vibe around a team. Weird things happen. They've

705
00:37:10,360 --> 00:37:13,319
Speaker 1: got two foot injuries of very key players. Then one

706
00:37:13,320 --> 00:37:15,160
Speaker 1: of those key players, probably the best player to have,

707
00:37:15,480 --> 00:37:18,560
Speaker 1: he has COVID, and then a receiver gets hurt they

708
00:37:18,640 --> 00:37:20,919
Speaker 1: relied on for a long time. You know, Frank Reich

709
00:37:20,960 --> 00:37:23,360
Speaker 1: had COVID at the beginning of this whole thing, and you,

710
00:37:23,600 --> 00:37:25,280
Speaker 1: I don't want to say a team's cursed or anything,

711
00:37:25,320 --> 00:37:28,759
Speaker 1: but you just have a lot of bad vibes going on,

712
00:37:28,880 --> 00:37:32,040
Speaker 1: and you think, man, is this the way this thing's

713
00:37:32,040 --> 00:37:34,560
Speaker 1: going to be. They lost their left tackle Sam Tevy

714
00:37:35,040 --> 00:37:37,920
Speaker 1: to a knee injury. Eric Fisher is not going to

715
00:37:37,960 --> 00:37:43,160
Speaker 1: be ready until later September October. Do you buy into

716
00:37:43,400 --> 00:37:46,640
Speaker 1: at any point kind of bad vibes to start a

717
00:37:46,719 --> 00:37:48,640
Speaker 1: season and the impact it can have on a team,

718
00:37:48,760 --> 00:37:51,000
Speaker 1: or is this just adds preseason. Let it go, They'll

719
00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:54,280
Speaker 1: be fine when the season gets here. Oh no, I've

720
00:37:54,680 --> 00:37:58,600
Speaker 1: that on a team in Detroit. The Mike Utley situation

721
00:37:59,000 --> 00:38:02,840
Speaker 1: and how it all football team Eric Handelson who was

722
00:38:03,080 --> 00:38:07,040
Speaker 1: mowing his yard in Louisiana and was struck by a

723
00:38:07,080 --> 00:38:11,319
Speaker 1: truck and killed h I guess that was maybe my

724
00:38:11,640 --> 00:38:15,600
Speaker 1: second year in Detroit. And then the loss of John Fonts,

725
00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:19,319
Speaker 1: Wayne's Wayne's brother, and it was just one domino after

726
00:38:19,400 --> 00:38:21,840
Speaker 1: the other. And certainly it affects a team where it

727
00:38:21,920 --> 00:38:23,759
Speaker 1: just kind of there's a cloud that hangs over You

728
00:38:23,840 --> 00:38:27,360
Speaker 1: never really get past that stuff. You're always you're constantly

729
00:38:27,400 --> 00:38:29,440
Speaker 1: thinking about it every time you walk by a guy's

730
00:38:29,480 --> 00:38:33,480
Speaker 1: locker or a coach's office. Yeah, I mean those those

731
00:38:33,520 --> 00:38:36,520
Speaker 1: are very true things that affect the football team. I

732
00:38:36,560 --> 00:38:39,560
Speaker 1: mean they're humans and you get close to these individuals,

733
00:38:39,560 --> 00:38:44,160
Speaker 1: and those things really really can't affect a long sixteen

734
00:38:44,200 --> 00:38:48,719
Speaker 1: game schedule. Absolutely, Andre, what's wrong with Nebraska? Yeah, I

735
00:38:48,760 --> 00:38:57,000
Speaker 1: just went there. We go forg They got no players.

736
00:38:56,800 --> 00:38:59,680
Speaker 1: That's that's part of it right there. It's hard to

737
00:38:59,680 --> 00:39:02,680
Speaker 1: recruit to Nebraska now. And you know, I told you

738
00:39:02,719 --> 00:39:06,359
Speaker 1: guys this the other day that there are certain programs

739
00:39:06,400 --> 00:39:10,239
Speaker 1: that we once looked upon and from a tradition standpoint,

740
00:39:10,280 --> 00:39:14,640
Speaker 1: and oh my god, they're not coming back. And this

741
00:39:14,719 --> 00:39:17,000
Speaker 1: is one. This is one of them. And I truly

742
00:39:17,040 --> 00:39:20,480
Speaker 1: believe that. I had a producer that was in Nebraska

743
00:39:20,520 --> 00:39:22,960
Speaker 1: grad when they hired Scott Frost. He was over the

744
00:39:23,000 --> 00:39:25,640
Speaker 1: moon and oh my god, we're going to turn it around.

745
00:39:25,640 --> 00:39:27,359
Speaker 1: And I'm just shaking my head, and I'm like, kids

746
00:39:27,360 --> 00:39:29,920
Speaker 1: aren't going to link in Nebraska these days. They're going

747
00:39:29,960 --> 00:39:32,960
Speaker 1: to Florida, where sunny all year around. I mean, Lincoln,

748
00:39:32,960 --> 00:39:35,840
Speaker 1: Nebraska gets cold. How you convince a kid in today's

749
00:39:35,920 --> 00:39:41,400
Speaker 1: college football world to leave Texas or to leave California

750
00:39:41,600 --> 00:39:44,040
Speaker 1: to go to Nebraska. Nebraska is one of the first

751
00:39:44,040 --> 00:39:48,480
Speaker 1: programs to recruit nationwide. Tom Osborne did a hell of

752
00:39:48,480 --> 00:39:51,560
Speaker 1: a job in this time. They're convincing kids like Mark

753
00:39:51,640 --> 00:39:56,800
Speaker 1: Microgier Turner Gill from from New Jersey to go across

754
00:39:56,840 --> 00:39:59,960
Speaker 1: the country to Lincoln, Nebraska. But they're not doing it anymore.

755
00:40:00,520 --> 00:40:03,839
Speaker 1: Is not happening and so uh uh. And if if

756
00:40:03,840 --> 00:40:06,560
Speaker 1: it is, it's a kid that's leaving that state, that's

757
00:40:06,600 --> 00:40:10,080
Speaker 1: a lesser kid than Obviously tom Osborne was recruiting back

758
00:40:10,080 --> 00:40:12,840
Speaker 1: in the day. But there's certain programs across the country

759
00:40:12,880 --> 00:40:17,040
Speaker 1: that they're they're just not returning. Well, thinks about it

760
00:40:17,040 --> 00:40:20,200
Speaker 1: this way. You just mentioned it, Dre. The greatest quarterback

761
00:40:20,200 --> 00:40:27,840
Speaker 1: in Nebraska history is Tommy Frasia. Well, he came from Bradington, Florida. Bradenton, Florida,

762
00:40:28,160 --> 00:40:32,040
Speaker 1: playing his style. He is never getting out of the

763
00:40:32,040 --> 00:40:34,239
Speaker 1: state of Florida. But at the time you had to

764
00:40:34,239 --> 00:40:37,520
Speaker 1: go to Nebraska because you know, Charlie Warden was at

765
00:40:37,560 --> 00:40:40,799
Speaker 1: Florida State playing their fast break offense, storing all over place.

766
00:40:41,040 --> 00:40:43,440
Speaker 1: Florida was fun and gun and think Tommy could throw

767
00:40:43,480 --> 00:40:45,880
Speaker 1: it all that. Well, so he goes to Nebraska, that

768
00:40:46,080 --> 00:40:48,719
Speaker 1: is that's not happening these days, and I just don't,

769
00:40:48,840 --> 00:40:52,200
Speaker 1: I don't just don't know where Nebraska's recruiting base is. Uh.

770
00:40:52,200 --> 00:40:54,120
Speaker 1: And that's I mean, that's that's a big one. But

771
00:40:54,400 --> 00:40:56,640
Speaker 1: a team that has recruited well is a team that

772
00:40:56,719 --> 00:40:59,960
Speaker 1: you're gonna see uh this week, and that's the universe.

773
00:41:00,280 --> 00:41:03,640
Speaker 1: North Carolina and quarterbacks Sam Howe Drew. I don't know

774
00:41:03,640 --> 00:41:04,920
Speaker 1: if you had a chance to see him, but he's

775
00:41:04,920 --> 00:41:06,720
Speaker 1: a name I know a lot of people around Houston

776
00:41:06,960 --> 00:41:09,960
Speaker 1: are curious about. Depending on the quarterback situation all that.

777
00:41:10,440 --> 00:41:12,800
Speaker 1: But Sam Howell going into his third year as a starter,

778
00:41:13,320 --> 00:41:16,719
Speaker 1: very skilled guy. As you've gotten ready for North Carolina.

779
00:41:16,760 --> 00:41:18,200
Speaker 1: Have you had a chance to watch him? What do

780
00:41:18,239 --> 00:41:22,160
Speaker 1: you think of him? Absolutely? And he's a passing machine.

781
00:41:22,320 --> 00:41:24,640
Speaker 1: And now I didn't say throwing machine. I said passing

782
00:41:24,680 --> 00:41:28,080
Speaker 1: machine because there's a difference between a thrower and a passer. Yes,

783
00:41:28,200 --> 00:41:31,920
Speaker 1: this guy passes the football. He's got touched, he's got zipped,

784
00:41:32,120 --> 00:41:35,000
Speaker 1: he's got mobility where he could throw on the move.

785
00:41:36,320 --> 00:41:39,080
Speaker 1: I think he's the best quarterback in coming out this year.

786
00:41:39,360 --> 00:41:42,520
Speaker 1: Absolutely do. I think he's the best passer in college football,

787
00:41:44,120 --> 00:41:48,040
Speaker 1: and we are gonna get that update from Dre when

788
00:41:48,040 --> 00:41:50,120
Speaker 1: he gets back. That game is Friday night Jina Tech

789
00:41:50,200 --> 00:41:53,160
Speaker 1: North Carolina. Should be a funball game and Sam Howe

790
00:41:53,280 --> 00:41:57,120
Speaker 1: is obviously someone that people around here are gonna watch

791
00:41:57,239 --> 00:42:01,279
Speaker 1: throughout this year. Okay, we got one final segment. A

792

847
00:45:42,840 --> 00:45:46,480
Speaker 1: I'm John Harris football and a sideline reporter, and let's

848
00:45:46,520 --> 00:45:49,480
Speaker 1: go around the league. A few things happening. We'll get

849
00:45:49,480 --> 00:45:51,200
Speaker 1: to our Texans news in just a second. But this

850
00:45:51,239 --> 00:45:54,960
Speaker 1: one called my eyes we were going to break breaking

851
00:45:55,040 --> 00:45:57,040
Speaker 1: news is from ads for a few people. Well, my

852
00:45:57,160 --> 00:45:59,839
Speaker 1: gare follow looks like it's the first one to post.

853
00:46:00,120 --> 00:46:03,879
Speaker 1: Is breaking news from the Arizona Cardinals. And no it's

854
00:46:03,920 --> 00:46:06,960
Speaker 1: not any of our former friends, but it is a

855
00:46:07,000 --> 00:46:09,080
Speaker 1: former foe and a guy that we saw a lot

856
00:46:09,120 --> 00:46:13,160
Speaker 1: and he's a super Bowl hero. Malcolm Butler, who signed

857
00:46:13,160 --> 00:46:16,239
Speaker 1: with the Cardinals a soft season, is dealing with a

858
00:46:16,360 --> 00:46:21,720
Speaker 1: personal situation that has him mulling retirement. Gara follow says,

859
00:46:21,800 --> 00:46:28,719
Speaker 1: sources tell him so Malcolm Butler considering retirement. Now, I

860
00:46:28,800 --> 00:46:33,200
Speaker 1: will readily admit I thought Butler in the last couple

861
00:46:33,239 --> 00:46:36,040
Speaker 1: of years. I thought Butler going to the Titans. I

862
00:46:36,080 --> 00:46:38,680
Speaker 1: thought he was bad every single year. I thought when

863
00:46:38,719 --> 00:46:40,520
Speaker 1: he signed with the Cardinals after he did have one

864
00:46:40,600 --> 00:46:42,880
Speaker 1: hundred tackles, but he had one hundred tackles because everybody

865
00:46:42,920 --> 00:46:46,560
Speaker 1: threw at him. And he signed with the Cardinals, and

866
00:46:46,600 --> 00:46:48,279
Speaker 1: that was like, Man, if you could have taken the

867
00:46:48,320 --> 00:46:52,960
Speaker 1: team from twenty sixteen with wat and Malcolm Butler and

868
00:46:53,000 --> 00:46:54,960
Speaker 1: aj green Well, the Cardinals would be going to the

869
00:46:54,960 --> 00:46:57,480
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. They would have won this offseason. But Malcolm

870
00:46:57,480 --> 00:47:05,200
Speaker 1: Butler apparently considering retirement. Interesting to see how that will go.

871
00:47:05,640 --> 00:47:13,279
Speaker 1: We mentioned earlier the Dolphins have released linebacker Bernardrick McKinney.

872
00:47:13,600 --> 00:47:17,720
Speaker 1: So over the last few days, the Texans got something

873
00:47:17,760 --> 00:47:21,040
Speaker 1: for Shack Lawson, who they traded for Benardrick McKinney. Dolphins

874
00:47:21,080 --> 00:47:25,319
Speaker 1: didn't get anything for Bernardrick. I'm not totally surprised by that.

875
00:47:25,560 --> 00:47:27,480
Speaker 1: I mentioned it earlier as Mark and I were talking.

876
00:47:27,560 --> 00:47:31,280
Speaker 1: Mark broke that news as we were talking about Bernardrick McKinney.

877
00:47:32,080 --> 00:47:35,120
Speaker 1: As much as I love b MAC right now, the

878
00:47:35,200 --> 00:47:37,720
Speaker 1: best thing that probably BMAC could do is somehow convert

879
00:47:37,840 --> 00:47:39,759
Speaker 1: himself to a four three defensive end or a three

880
00:47:39,760 --> 00:47:42,600
Speaker 1: four outside linebacker. He always had that in his bag.

881
00:47:42,640 --> 00:47:45,319
Speaker 1: He had that club in his bag. It wasn't it

882
00:47:45,440 --> 00:47:47,400
Speaker 1: wasn't his best club. But he had that club in

883
00:47:47,440 --> 00:47:50,799
Speaker 1: his bag and he probably needs to show somehow that

884
00:47:50,840 --> 00:47:54,000
Speaker 1: he can do that because play against a linebacker is

885
00:47:54,040 --> 00:47:56,440
Speaker 1: just not gonna happen at two hundred and fifty five

886
00:47:56,480 --> 00:47:58,960
Speaker 1: pounds and doesn't have the ability to run quite like

887
00:47:59,000 --> 00:48:03,200
Speaker 1: he used to. And he definitely was never a cover guy.

888
00:48:03,320 --> 00:48:05,400
Speaker 1: And you know, back in twenty fifteen, you needed to

889
00:48:05,440 --> 00:48:08,279
Speaker 1: have thumpers. You know, you had Cush and you had

890
00:48:08,280 --> 00:48:11,080
Speaker 1: b Mac, you had you know, guys that could thump.

891
00:48:11,120 --> 00:48:13,680
Speaker 1: You don't need to you don't need that as much anymore.

892
00:48:13,680 --> 00:48:16,480
Speaker 1: You need six two sixty three, two forty that can run.

893
00:48:16,680 --> 00:48:20,160
Speaker 1: I'm just watching Devin Lloyd from University Utah inside linebacker

894
00:48:20,280 --> 00:48:23,279
Speaker 1: sixty three two thirty five and could fly, and I'm like,

895
00:48:23,360 --> 00:48:25,319
Speaker 1: I'll take that because that's the kind of guy that's

896
00:48:25,360 --> 00:48:28,359
Speaker 1: gonna be cover, be able to cover in space, run

897
00:48:28,400 --> 00:48:30,799
Speaker 1: with you know, you know, be the three runner up

898
00:48:30,800 --> 00:48:32,839
Speaker 1: the field in Tampa two. You know, all these different things.

899
00:48:33,440 --> 00:48:35,799
Speaker 1: Bernardick was not gonna was not gonna do that. So

900
00:48:36,160 --> 00:48:39,160
Speaker 1: in the end you probably were gonna either release Bernardrick

901
00:48:39,239 --> 00:48:42,839
Speaker 1: McKinney and really get nothing back for it, but you

902
00:48:42,960 --> 00:48:45,560
Speaker 1: end up trading for Shack Lawson. You gotta look see

903
00:48:45,680 --> 00:48:47,640
Speaker 1: you don't like it, you trade and you get a

904
00:48:47,719 --> 00:48:50,400
Speaker 1: six because and edge rusher is that much more valuable

905
00:48:50,960 --> 00:48:53,640
Speaker 1: than an inside linebacker and a thicker inside linebacker. So

906
00:48:53,800 --> 00:48:57,279
Speaker 1: Bernardi McKinney waved, we'll see released. Excuse me, And there

907
00:48:57,400 --> 00:49:00,480
Speaker 1: is nomenclature they are releasing different than waving. He could

908
00:49:00,480 --> 00:49:02,319
Speaker 1: sign with any team at any point, So we'll see

909
00:49:02,320 --> 00:49:04,640
Speaker 1: what happens with Bernardick McKinney. Wish him luck. Always love

910
00:49:04,719 --> 00:49:07,160
Speaker 1: Lambo mac. He was always such a fun dude to

911
00:49:07,200 --> 00:49:13,840
Speaker 1: have around one one item here in well, actually just

912
00:49:13,840 --> 00:49:18,760
Speaker 1: saw another one. The Texans two offensive linemen are being

913
00:49:19,080 --> 00:49:25,480
Speaker 1: one waived, one released. The veteran Danny as Adorra is

914
00:49:25,520 --> 00:49:29,160
Speaker 1: being cut, according to a league's source, and Carson Green,

915
00:49:29,760 --> 00:49:33,160
Speaker 1: the Aggie. I wasn't too surprised by this, but I

916
00:49:33,239 --> 00:49:36,560

920

921
00:49:46,200 --> 00:49:47,560
Speaker 1: if he gets picked up, he gets picked up. But

922
00:49:47,880 --> 00:49:50,040
Speaker 1: I'd imagine he'll get through waivers and hopefully we're able

923
00:49:50,040 --> 00:49:53,920
Speaker 1: to get back Carson Green, but he has been cut.
