Speaker 2: It's the more I look around, Mark, I'm I'm getting

8
00:00:20,280 --> 00:00:23,400
Speaker 2: used to being in the same area, but yet it's

9
00:00:23,440 --> 00:00:24,000
Speaker 2: totally different.

10
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:25,280

00:00:25,400 --> 00:00:27,080

00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:30,280
Speaker 3: YouTube soon enough, next few weeks here. We're still in

13
00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:33,440
Speaker 3: the process of remodeling things, changing things around. But it's

14
00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:35,320
Speaker 3: gonna be very cool when we get it all don

15
00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:38,559
Speaker 3: Johnny can't wait for that, but we'll have to wait

16
00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:41,559
Speaker 3: for that. I feel like today I just want to

17
00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:45,040
Speaker 3: set this up. Yeah, go ahead. Does the term Junction

18
00:00:45,159 --> 00:00:46,360
Speaker 3: Boys mean anything to you?

19
00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:51,040
Speaker 1: Ooh yes, it does now from for those people don't

20
00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:52,159
Speaker 1: know the Junction Boys are.

21
00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:54,800
Speaker 2: And there are some people that are probably out there,

22
00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:57,160
Speaker 2: maybe new to the city of Houston. They've become Texans

23
00:00:57,160 --> 00:00:58,800
Speaker 2: fans for the last few years. They don't know the

24
00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:01,680
Speaker 2: Junction Boys. It was back in the fifties. That was

25
00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:05,600
Speaker 2: even before you and me and Bear Bryant took his

26
00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:08,520
Speaker 2: A and M team, about one hundred plus players on

27
00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:12,280
Speaker 2: buses to Junction, Texas, and then he wore them out.

28
00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:14,840
Speaker 2: It was bad to a point where of those one

29
00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:18,319
Speaker 2: hundred plus, only about twenty five or thirty ended up

30
00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:21,360
Speaker 2: coming back and playing the season. But so the seats

31
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:28,200
Speaker 2: for a championship team, and this Junction Texas had no shade, No,

32
00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:30,600
Speaker 2: they were even not even ac and the quantit huts

33
00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:34,759
Speaker 2: or whatever they had, they practiced for three hours twice

34
00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:38,600
Speaker 2: a day, twice hour a day, three hours twice a day.

35
00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:43,040
Speaker 1: He just destroyed them and he tested them.

36
00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:44,560
Speaker 2: And there would be guys that would leave in the

37
00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:46,120
Speaker 2: middle of the night, get on the bus and leave.

38
00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:49,000
Speaker 2: And it was like they say, Michigan, those who stayed

39
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:51,080
Speaker 2: will become champions, and they ended up doing that.

40
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:54,880
Speaker 1: But Junction had a way of weeding people out.

41
00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:59,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, for sure. So you're saying Junction boys. In the

42
00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:00,360
Speaker 2: last couple of days.

43
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:04,960
Speaker 3: I'm joking, of course, because Demiko yesterday talked about hey, toughness,

44
00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:07,640
Speaker 3: mental toughnes, dealing with the heat, dealing with the conditions,

45
00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:11,000
Speaker 3: whatever they are, This happens to be a condition. And

46
00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:15,519
Speaker 3: I heard that I thought, really, okay, okay, I didn't

47
00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:17,760
Speaker 3: want to take it personally that he's been hearing our

48
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:21,359
Speaker 3: shows bragging about the great weather in Cleveland, and he said,

49
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:22,960
Speaker 3: you know what, I'm going to show those guys something

50
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:25,760
Speaker 3: like this. Never mind the team, vandermir and Harris have

51
00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:29,800
Speaker 3: to suffer next week, but and look, we're not suffering

52
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:33,400
Speaker 3: compared to whatever they're enduring through these practices. But today,

53
00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:36,960
Speaker 3: about halfway through, I thought, you know what, there's gonna

54
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:38,680
Speaker 3: be a game. There're gonna be many games we're in

55
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:40,880
Speaker 3: the second half. They're gonna be sucking it up, sucking

56
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:44,320
Speaker 3: wind or whatever, having to come back, digging deep, and

57
00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:46,959
Speaker 3: they're gonna think, you know what, it's not like being

58
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:50,960
Speaker 3: outside in August midday, you know, hook it up with

59
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:54,280
Speaker 3: the teammates, hooking up, knocking heads with the teammates.

60
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:57,440
Speaker 1: It's not going to be like that. It's it feels different.

61
00:02:57,480 --> 00:02:58,280
Speaker 1: It's competition.

62
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:00,400
Speaker 3: And I feel good because I went through all that

63
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:01,079
Speaker 3: hard stuff.

64
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:03,880
Speaker 1: I can deal with the adversity now. It was always

65
00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:04,480
Speaker 1: a little different.

66
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:07,799
Speaker 2: But I remember in high school we used to say that, like, hey,

67
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:09,560
Speaker 2: we went through all this. The thing is, as a

68
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:12,560
Speaker 2: team we were playing went to the same thing. They

69
00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:14,520
Speaker 2: might have been twenty minutes away from us, but they

70
00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:17,480
Speaker 2: were going through the same heat during the summer as

71
00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:20,600
Speaker 2: everybody else. That's not the case when you end up

72
00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:24,679
Speaker 2: playing New England, for instance, and it's eighty five degrees out,

73
00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:26,800
Speaker 2: They're not as accustomed to it.

74
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:28,079
Speaker 1: And I thought what.

75
00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:30,600
Speaker 2: Coach said was interesting because we used to believe this

76
00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:35,600
Speaker 2: as well. Getting yourself acclimated to the heat, beating the

77
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:38,840
Speaker 2: heat and still being effective at the game of football.

78
00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:41,800
Speaker 2: That was like a huge feather in your cap, Like

79
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:44,560
Speaker 2: you knew it didn't matter whether wise what.

80
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:45,440
Speaker 1: You were presented with.

81
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:48,360
Speaker 2: You got through the third fourth quarter, you were going

82
00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:51,680
Speaker 2: to be wearing that guy out because that guy was

83
00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:54,000
Speaker 2: not going to be able to handle it the way

84
00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:54,760
Speaker 2: you were going to be.

85
00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:56,120
Speaker 1: You were going to be able to be.

86
00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:58,640
Speaker 2: And I think that's the way coach is looking at now. Again,

87
00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:04,480
Speaker 2: Texas played two inside preseason games and then five inside

88
00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:06,640
Speaker 2: to start the year. Who knows, you go up to

89
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:09,560
Speaker 2: New England in the fall, maybe you get one of

90
00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:12,760
Speaker 2: those kind of eighty eighty one degree days and it's

91
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:16,680
Speaker 2: a little spicy, yeah, And you can look back on

92
00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:18,520
Speaker 2: these days and go, it's nothing and this is not

93
00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:19,120
Speaker 2: this is nothing.

94
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:21,720
Speaker 1: We can be at one hundred percent all the way through.

95
00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:23,800
Speaker 3: Here's what we don't know what the temperature is going

96
00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:25,080
Speaker 3: to be inside the stadium.

97
00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:26,520
Speaker 1: It's with the roof damage.

98
00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:28,400
Speaker 3: What the temperature is going to be with the AC

99
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:32,520
Speaker 3: that's available because you have a gaping hole, So how

100
00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:33,400
Speaker 3: will that affect things?

101
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:35,279
Speaker 1: I don't know yet. I haven't been in the bowl yet.

102
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:39,520
Speaker 3: As we do this show going in tomorrow, because they'll

Speaker 3: That's what I'm going to do. And they're inviting alumni too.

141
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:20,800
Speaker 1: White Wow.

142
00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:24,440
Speaker 3: And I still it's funny because at the reveal party

143
00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:28,120
Speaker 3: downtown at seven one to three and at various other events,

144
00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:31,800
Speaker 3: I still bump into cheerleaders who it's funny. Sarah, one

145
00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:33,760
Speaker 3: of the original ones. I was talking to her at

146
00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:35,560
Speaker 3: the party. She said, you know, I'm forty two years old,

147
00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:37,000
Speaker 3: now what or whatever?

148
00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:37,400
Speaker 1: She is.

149
00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:40,440
Speaker 3: Oh, that's fantastic. I said, you should try out again.

150
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:43,200
Speaker 3: Try out again. There are a lot of ladies who

151
00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:46,520
Speaker 3: could still make the team, probably if they wanted to.

152
00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:49,160
Speaker 3: But it's actually a great thing for a young lady

153
00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:53,080
Speaker 3: on her resume. If you're perusing resumes and you see

154
00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:57,320
Speaker 3: Houston Texans cheerleader on there anywhere on the resume, you're thinking,

155
00:06:57,760 --> 00:07:00,000
Speaker 3: all right, that that was an experience.

156
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:00,680
Speaker 1: It's tell us.

157
00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:02,560
Speaker 3: About that, Yeah, how did that help you?

158
00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:04,920
Speaker 1: What happened? Tell us about it? And I think that's

159
00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:05,440
Speaker 1: pretty cool.

160
00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:09,159
Speaker 2: You're right, that is going to get people's attention no

161
00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:13,360
Speaker 2: matter no matter what, just NFL Houston Texans, just that's

162
00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:18,040
Speaker 2: catching people's eyes like, oh, okay for whatever reason, and

163
00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:20,480
Speaker 2: then it's it's a good talking point. And I always

164
00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:22,640
Speaker 2: think in an interview, if I can find something like

165
00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:26,160
Speaker 2: that with somebody, I'll interview people a lot. But in

166
00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:28,160
Speaker 2: that way, but if I saw that in an interview,

167
00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:30,120
Speaker 2: I'd want to know like, oh wow, okay, cool, tell

168
00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:32,440
Speaker 2: me about this. This is this is pretty awesome.

169
00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:34,800
Speaker 3: All time, even when we go to people's wiki pages

170
00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:37,680
Speaker 3: or players we just met, like all right, what's the background?

171
00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:40,480
Speaker 3: Are there any personal stories that we didn't know about?

172
00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:43,000
Speaker 3: You know, you probably know about the mall, but I

173
00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:44,080
Speaker 3: still take a look.

174
00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:45,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's I mean, it's it's worth it. There's no

175
00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:46,560
Speaker 1: question about that.

176
00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:50,320
Speaker 2: So the game again, remember now if you've got tickets,

177
00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:55,560
Speaker 2: it is at noon noon, so it's probably gonna be

178
00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:56,480
Speaker 2: a little spicy.

179
00:07:56,640 --> 00:07:58,160
Speaker 1: It could be there's probably.

180
00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:02,680
Speaker 2: Gonna be some some bright light in so it might

181
00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:05,360
Speaker 2: create some shadows and challenges.

182
00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:05,400
Speaker 1: At that point.

183
00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:08,080
Speaker 3: But I haven't seen that either. But again we'll see

184
00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:10,560
Speaker 3: it tomorrow. We will discuss this tomorrow night how light

185
00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:12,680
Speaker 3: might affect the game.

186
00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:14,640
Speaker 1: And then when you get the Bears in here.

187
00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:17,600
Speaker 3: Week two, no effect at all with the light because

188
00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:22,120
Speaker 3: it won't be dark yet. But you'll have zero sun effect.

189
00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:24,720
Speaker 2: That was always the fun part of high school games.

190
00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:27,080
Speaker 2: When you would get ready for a high school game

191
00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:29,560
Speaker 2: and you're playing it like, I don't know, seven o'clock

192
00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:32,559
Speaker 2: it's supposed to start. You get that light to start,

193
00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:35,280
Speaker 2: and then it would turn to Friday night lights by

194
00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:37,200
Speaker 2: the time you got to the second half. I always

195
00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:39,080
Speaker 2: like that as opposed to games later in the year

196
00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:41,320
Speaker 2: when you flip the clock back and it's all in

197
00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:43,800
Speaker 2: the dark. I like a little bit of light to start.

198
00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:46,800
Speaker 2: I always think about high school football in that way,

199
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:50,839
Speaker 2: just having a little bit of the dusk and then

200
00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:53,320
Speaker 2: it turns tonight, probably in the second quarter, in a halftime,

201
00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:53,800
Speaker 2: et cetera.

202
00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:55,960
Speaker 1: But we have practice today.

203
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:57,839
Speaker 2: Here's the one thing that stood out to me, Mark,

204
00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:01,440
Speaker 2: and I want your thoughts on this. For the last

205
00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:04,160
Speaker 2: two days it has been to the hotter days I

206
00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:07,880
Speaker 2: can remember, not only not only this training camp, but

207
00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:12,640
Speaker 2: any training camp. Today it was still it was it

208
00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:14,840
Speaker 2: was ridiculous. It was so hot.

209
00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:18,319
Speaker 1: Yet I don't know how many times.

210
00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:20,880
Speaker 2: So in my notebook when I write down everything that happens,

211
00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:24,920
Speaker 2: I write down everything. I try to describe as much

212
00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:27,640
Speaker 2: as I can. In between plays, my handwriting is just

213
00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:30,000
Speaker 2: a mess. But I try and remember, I try and

214
00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:32,360
Speaker 2: visualize it, go back through. But I'll go through here

215
00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:37,160
Speaker 2: and I'll put like two asterisks next to a play like, oh,

216
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:39,040
Speaker 2: I got to remember this one. Okay, this was a

217
00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:41,320
Speaker 2: this is a good play to remember. This is a

218
00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:43,880
Speaker 2: great play. This is an excellent play. I feel like

219
00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:47,400
Speaker 2: for the past two days I have put more asterisk

220
00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:51,080
Speaker 2: next two quarterback throws than I have done in a

221
00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:51,840
Speaker 2: long long time.

222
00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:54,240
Speaker 1: Maybe. If ever, why do you think that is?

223
00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:58,559
Speaker 3: We saw them play or practice in the wet elements

224
00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:04,640
Speaker 3: in Cleveland. Even before that here we saw some sloppy

225
00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:07,520
Speaker 3: for lack of a better word, yeah, you know, less

226
00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:11,000
Speaker 3: than favorable execution or attempt to execute plays.

227
00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:13,400
Speaker 1: So not all the way through.

228
00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:15,679
Speaker 3: I mean, we saw some great plays too, But you're

229
00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:17,600
Speaker 3: seeing a lot of great throws here. Why do you think,

230
00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:20,000
Speaker 3: because even though it's hot, they can grip the ball well,

231
00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:24,160
Speaker 3: they're locked in. Maybe Iron is getting really sharp at

232
00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:24,959
Speaker 3: this point of camp.

233
00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:26,720
Speaker 1: I don't know how to describe it. I think there

234
00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:27,640
Speaker 1: are a couple of things.

235
00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:32,640
Speaker 2: Number one, I think even though he's not playing every

236
00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:37,080
Speaker 2: single snap, he is playing enough snap Since Laramie Tunsil,

237
00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:41,920
Speaker 2: I think Laramie playing left tackle just gives this offense

238
00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:46,439
Speaker 2: such comfort, and it gives this quarterback the comfort that

239
00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:47,000
Speaker 2: I don't have.

240
00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:48,719
Speaker 1: To worry about what's behind me. I don't have to

241
00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:49,320
Speaker 1: worry about it.

242
00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:52,480
Speaker 2: Blond side protection, blondside protection taken care of. I'm not

243
00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:54,640
Speaker 2: taking a shot if I'm looking front side, I have

244
00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:56,280
Speaker 2: my back completely that side.

245
00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:57,880
Speaker 1: I don't even have to worry about it. Do you

246
00:10:57,920 --> 00:10:58,760
Speaker 1: think I'm good to go?

247
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:02,560
Speaker 3: Laramie has a resence, right, and that too, definitely does.

248
00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:06,560
Speaker 3: He has this X factor presence. And I remember the

249
00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:09,440
Speaker 3: first time I ever saw him up close and personal

250
00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:12,599
Speaker 3: after the trade, and he's at the.

251
00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:13,400
Speaker 1: Doorway of the locker room.

252
00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:15,440
Speaker 3: He's got a pencil in his ear, so I mean,

253
00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:18,000
Speaker 3: that always looks very studious. That's a studious look, Johnny,

254
00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:19,959
Speaker 3: I'm learning the playbook.

255
00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:21,520
Speaker 1: Proves it.

256
00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:24,040
Speaker 3: But he just has this charisma about him.

257
00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:24,640
Speaker 1: He really does.

258
00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:27,240
Speaker 3: And I saw him standing with the old line. I

259
00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:29,880
Speaker 3: saw him standing with the would be starters for this

260
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:31,520
Speaker 3: practice anyway, and.

261
00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:32,760
Speaker 1: They looked like a unit.

262
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:36,320
Speaker 3: They looked like a gang, like a good gang all

263
00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:40,040
Speaker 3: together now fully united. Not that they haven't looked like

264
00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:42,960
Speaker 3: that before this camp, But you're right, seeing him out there,

265
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:45,840
Speaker 3: it just elevates everything very cool.

266
00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:46,000
Speaker 1: Good.

267
00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:50,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, Yes, I think that just helps everything, to be

268
00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:53,000
Speaker 2: honest with you, also feel like the offense is starting

269
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:55,320
Speaker 2: to kind of find a little bit of its groof,

270
00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:58,319
Speaker 2: you know, trying to figure out, you know, what groups

271
00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:02,040
Speaker 2: go with what, and I think just fighting a little

272
00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:05,840
Speaker 2: bit of that this week I think was good, you know,

273
00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:09,120
Speaker 2: amongst back, amongst mixing being back, I mean, I think

274
00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:12,080
Speaker 2: Laramie really helps mixing being back. I think they're finding

275
00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:14,080
Speaker 2: a little bit of a they're fighting a little bit

276
00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:17,840
Speaker 2: of a groove, and there are only so many defensive

277
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:21,360
Speaker 2: looks that you can continue to throw at the offense,

278
00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:24,280
Speaker 2: so they're seeing some of those looks over and over again.

279
00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:26,000
Speaker 2: But there was a there was a blitz period today.

280
00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:29,640
Speaker 2: I don't know how many plays they ran in that

281
00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:33,440
Speaker 2: blitz period, but the one that I'm actually looking at

282
00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:37,840
Speaker 2: right now, Laramie was in and the first play they ran,

283
00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:40,560
Speaker 2: they ran a blitz. I think they brought maybe five

284
00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:44,920
Speaker 2: maybe six, and CJ had to read the blitz. And

285
00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:48,680
Speaker 2: I love watching when they blitz him because he's got

286
00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:51,920
Speaker 2: answers for seemingly everything. You could just see the thought

287
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:55,800
Speaker 2: process as he goes through, so he sees the blitz,

288
00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:57,760
Speaker 2: he knows he's got to get rid of it, throws

289
00:12:57,840 --> 00:12:59,400
Speaker 2: a little bit off his back foot to kind of

290
00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:01,320
Speaker 2: fade away from everybody, but he still got enough on it.

291
00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:03,679
Speaker 1: He hits Joe right in the hands. Joe unfortunately can't

292
00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:04,120
Speaker 1: hang onto it.

293
00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:08,559
Speaker 2: But it's just the throw is on the money, absolute

294
00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:13,480
Speaker 2: on the money. So next one, next play, again they

295
00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:17,439
Speaker 2: brought They didn't bring five, they rushed three, but then

296
00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:21,800
Speaker 2: they delayed a blitzer, so they brought a linebacker after

297
00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:23,840
Speaker 2: the protection was set to maybe try and catch the

298
00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:27,000
Speaker 2: protection off. So that guy didn't leak through, but he

299
00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:28,880
Speaker 2: kind of was late and he's gonna be in your

300
00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:29,760
Speaker 2: view as a quarterback.

301
00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:30,360
Speaker 1: Didn't matter.

302
00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:34,280
Speaker 2: CJ threw an absolute dime to Stefan Diggs kind of

303
00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:37,120
Speaker 2: sidearm it to him on the sideline and his feet

304
00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:38,679
Speaker 2: were all kind of askew, but you had to get

305
00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:40,319
Speaker 2: rid of it quick and he just sidearmed it like

306
00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:43,520
Speaker 2: a shortstop thrown over second base. Just hit Digs right

307
00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:46,240
Speaker 2: in the hands, caught it first down. Then on the

308
00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:49,920
Speaker 2: third down they brought blitz again. So when you bring

309
00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:52,280
Speaker 2: blitz a lot of times you're gonna play man coverage

310
00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:58,199
Speaker 2: behind it more more than likely. So third and six say,

311
00:13:58,280 --> 00:14:02,000
Speaker 2: if everybody is covered man coverage, and Andre talks about

312
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:05,240
Speaker 2: this a lot on the broadcast, everybody's being covered and

313
00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:08,559
Speaker 2: the rush comes and then they can funnel the rush outside.

314
00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:11,120
Speaker 2: CJ is the best receiver there is, so at that

315
00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:12,560
Speaker 2: point he could just take off and go run for

316
00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:13,000
Speaker 2: first down.

317
00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:14,280
Speaker 1: It's exactly what he did.

318
00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:17,840
Speaker 2: He had three different sort of techniques for beating the

319
00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:21,880
Speaker 2: blitz on three different plays, and Joe is really beating

320
00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:22,560
Speaker 2: himself over it.

321
00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:24,320
Speaker 1: I mean, he just wasn't able to hang on to it.

322
00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:26,440
Speaker 1: But CJ beat him three times.

323
00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:30,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, Like, if he has those answers for the blitz

324
00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:33,400
Speaker 2: and against the defense that knows what he can do,

325
00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:36,400
Speaker 2: knows the routes and knows all that, how tough is

326
00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:38,840
Speaker 2: it going to be for defenses that are gonna blitz

327
00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:41,120
Speaker 2: him and haven't had that experience against him.

328
00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:44,280
Speaker 1: I mean, I just can't wait. But it wasn't just him.

329
00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:47,160
Speaker 1: I mean he threw that was one thing. He threw

330
00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:47,760
Speaker 1: the deep ball.

331
00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:49,720
Speaker 2: I mean there was a deep throw he throws to

332
00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:52,520
Speaker 2: Steffan that is just absolutely gorgeous.

333
00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:53,840
Speaker 1: That was a fore astross play.

334
00:14:53,960 --> 00:14:56,560
Speaker 2: I have not had a four astress play all year,

335
00:14:56,840 --> 00:14:57,680
Speaker 2: all training camp.

336
00:14:57,800 --> 00:14:58,680
Speaker 1: That was fore astress.

337
00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:00,760
Speaker 2: That was just like I was right now asterisk because

338
00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:01,960
Speaker 2: I was so excited about it.

339
00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:04,160
Speaker 1: It was just the deep parabola.

340
00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:07,160
Speaker 2: Diggs has got two guys, he's got safety's beat and

341
00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:09,080
Speaker 2: CJ just puts it on them. I mean, it was,

342
00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:11,720
Speaker 2: it was, It was gorgeous. I just felt like the

343
00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:14,360
Speaker 2: quarterbacks through the ball well. Even Case and Tim Boyle

344
00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:17,280
Speaker 2: thought through the ball extremely well. Yesterday, Davis through the

345
00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:20,640
Speaker 2: ball extremely well. I just feel like they're really getting

346
00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:22,640
Speaker 2: in a good groove. The timing is kind of where

347
00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:25,440
Speaker 2: they want it to be, and they just really in sync.

348
00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:28,080
Speaker 2: Not every pass is completed, but I just feel like

349
00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:28,760
Speaker 2: they're throwing the.

350
00:15:28,680 --> 00:15:29,440
Speaker 1: Ball really well.

351
00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:31,440
Speaker 3: What would be the most shocking thing that happened at

352
00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:32,479
Speaker 3: backup quarterback?

353
00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:34,760
Speaker 1: A trade? A trade?

354
00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:38,880
Speaker 3: Somebody released that you wouldn't think a trade? Would I

355
00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:41,120
Speaker 3: think a trade interesting? I mean, I've kind of gone

356
00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:43,000
Speaker 3: through every single scenario.

357
00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:47,360
Speaker 1: With with that position. Obviously you know CJ's the guy.

358
00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:50,000
Speaker 2: But I think a trade, whether it's a trade for

359
00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:54,760
Speaker 2: or a trade of like trading for a different backup quarterback, that.

360
00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:55,360
Speaker 1: Would be a shock.

361
00:15:55,640 --> 00:15:58,480
Speaker 3: That's that's what you meant by trade, that's you thought

362
00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:00,800
Speaker 3: you meant trade one of these guys away. Well, I

363
00:16:00,840 --> 00:16:02,960
Speaker 3: mean I don't know Hills would have the most value.

364
00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:06,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, maybe maybe Davis does get traded, and you're not

365
00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:08,360
Speaker 2: totally sure about the other two.

366
00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:11,760
Speaker 1: So you trade for somebody else, look, or sign somebody else.

367
00:16:12,040 --> 00:16:15,400
Speaker 1: I'll give you one. Okay, Ryan Tannehill. What's Ryan Tannehill

368
00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:16,400
Speaker 1: doing right now? Yeah?

369
00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:18,800
Speaker 3: You know I heard them talking about Tannehill on serious

370
00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:22,240
Speaker 3: exam and he still has.

371
00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:24,080
Speaker 1: Some juice, still could play.

372
00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:29,240
Speaker 3: But is he better than what you have here as backup?

373
00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:33,000
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't think go there. I think Thhill.

374
00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:36,080
Speaker 2: If somebody got hurt, right, if somebody got hurt, then

375
00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:39,000
Speaker 2: then maybe maybe Tannehill would would end up making some

376
00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:39,720
Speaker 2: sense at that point.

377
00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:43,000
Speaker 1: But you're right, God forbid, but I'd rather hitch my

378
00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:44,360
Speaker 1: wagon to one of these guys. Okay.

379
00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:47,640
Speaker 2: So if I had to along those lines, I'm putting it.

380
00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:50,720
Speaker 2: I'm putting it on you right now. How many quarterbacks

381
00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:51,800
Speaker 2: are you keeping?

382
00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:56,360
Speaker 3: Oh, I'm just three. Somebody's gonna go. Okay, you're gonna

383
00:16:56,360 --> 00:16:58,040
Speaker 3: say goodbye?

384
00:16:58,240 --> 00:16:59,760
Speaker 1: Do you say goodbye to somebody? Put him on a

385
00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:03,640
Speaker 1: practic squad. No, do you, Although they did that last year.

386
00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:07,320
Speaker 3: They Boil last year on the practice squad and we

387
00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:11,560
Speaker 3: never really found out from Nick, did we why Boyle

388
00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:13,960
Speaker 3: was on the practice squad, Like why go here?

389
00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:15,760
Speaker 1: Well, no, they had Boil on a practice squad be

390
00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:17,840
Speaker 1: Causeiu was hurt. Right, Yeah, that's what they did. But

391
00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:18,640
Speaker 1: then they kept him there.

392
00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:20,200
Speaker 3: But they kept them there, all right, So they kept

393
00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:22,400
Speaker 3: them there for the offseason, and they saw this coming.

394
00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:24,240
Speaker 1: All right, we have preseason games.

395
00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:28,439
Speaker 3: Let's keep camp arm if nothing else, and maybe Boil flourishes.

396
00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:31,480
Speaker 3: Clearly they like boil, and he's he made a throat

397
00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:33,000
Speaker 3: of sefast today. That was as good.

398
00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:34,680
Speaker 1: That was gorgeous, just gorgeous.

399
00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:36,800
Speaker 2: Again going to my point, So, okay, let me throw

400
00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:40,000
Speaker 2: you this this curve ball. There have been years, not many,

401
00:17:40,359 --> 00:17:44,800
Speaker 2: but there have been years in which two quarterbacks have

402
00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:45,399
Speaker 2: been kept.

403
00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:48,359
Speaker 3: No, there's no question you're gonna have one on the

404
00:17:48,359 --> 00:17:52,760
Speaker 3: practice squad at least, right, so I put one.

405
00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:56,000
Speaker 2: On practice squad because your numbers are tight. No numbers

406
00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:56,360
Speaker 2: are tight.

407
00:17:56,720 --> 00:17:58,600
Speaker 3: If you, let's say you try to put Case on

408
00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:02,000
Speaker 3: the practice squad, he's on the first sign of trouble

409
00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:04,679
Speaker 3: with another team. They're gonna grab case chem off your

410
00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:07,640
Speaker 3: practice squad and he'll have a chance to play. There's

411
00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:10,240
Speaker 3: no way you can do that. You've got to protect three.

412
00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:15,000
Speaker 2: I don't think any of the three guys, if you

413
00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:17,920
Speaker 2: did something, I don't think any of the three guys

414
00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:21,119
Speaker 2: would make it through waivers or not get picked up.

415
00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:24,159
Speaker 1: Right, because cases of vested at least at least.

416
00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:27,240
Speaker 3: In the semi not long term, but the short to

417
00:18:27,280 --> 00:18:30,440
Speaker 3: medium term. You know, because week one, somebody's gonna go down,

418
00:18:30,560 --> 00:18:31,960
Speaker 3: and then the quarterback frenzy.

419
00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:33,359
Speaker 1: What about Minnesota?

420
00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:35,399
Speaker 3: I mean, what have they done since we fast out

421
00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:38,439
Speaker 3: about JJ McCarthy out for the season. So you have

422
00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:40,480
Speaker 3: a lot of things to think about. I think that's

423
00:18:40,520 --> 00:18:44,760
Speaker 3: an interesting position. Also, rostertology. We've talked about this the

424
00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:48,199
Speaker 3: other day on Texans Monday. We kept it going the

425
00:18:48,280 --> 00:18:53,160
Speaker 3: Joe Lonardi method of rostertology. First three in, last three

426
00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:55,919
Speaker 3: out or last three in first three out, okay, with

427
00:18:55,960 --> 00:18:58,879
Speaker 3: the wide receiver group. After the big three, you know,

428
00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:01,040
Speaker 3: you think you start to figure things out, but then

429
00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:03,240
Speaker 3: somebody has a practice that really opens your eyes. Like

430
00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:04,160
Speaker 3: John Mitchi today.

431
00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:06,440
Speaker 1: John, Yeah, John Mitchi had a practice today.

432
00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:08,639
Speaker 3: He did and he looked spry, and he was making

433
00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:12,000
Speaker 3: tough catches and you think, uh, yeah, John MITCHI those

434
00:19:12,040 --> 00:19:16,440
Speaker 3: who predict his demise or whatever, I'm being overly dramatic here.

435
00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:19,800
Speaker 3: Uh not so fast as Lee Corso would say, he

436
00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:21,359
Speaker 3: looked really good today.

437
00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:26,000
Speaker 2: He he beat Jayleen Petrie his third down rep and

438
00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:29,280
Speaker 2: he's working with CJ's working a slot and he shook,

439
00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:34,800
Speaker 2: he shook Petrie something else and color in a little

440
00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:37,280
Speaker 2: en route and CJ hit him in stride. It was

441
00:19:37,359 --> 00:19:41,080
Speaker 2: like yes, and started put of my notebook like yes, yes,

442
00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:45,239
Speaker 2: that's what it has to be. That's what has to be.

443
00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:48,359
Speaker 2: But then a few reps later he ran a goat route.

444
00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:50,800
Speaker 2: He's got them beat by a step and he just

445
00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:51,960
Speaker 2: can't hang on to.

446
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:53,000
Speaker 1: The d missed that one.

447
00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:56,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, And for me it's like, man, if he catches that,

448
00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:59,160
Speaker 2: you can now see the confidence in the momentum really going.

449
00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:02,080
Speaker 2: But I'm telling you, he got Jalen on that one,

450
00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:06,240
Speaker 2: like Jalen got got with that route by Pete. By Mechi,

451
00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:09,879
Speaker 2: it was sublime. I mean it was beautiful.

452
00:20:10,119 --> 00:20:10,720
Speaker 1: It was beautiful.

453
00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:12,879
Speaker 2: And the thing was is I had my eyes on

454
00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:15,919
Speaker 2: it the whole time, like a practice. I'll sometimes decide

455
00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:19,479
Speaker 2: I'm watching the on line, watching the routes, watching the

456
00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:23,000
Speaker 2: secondary and watching the coverage. My eyes know he was

457
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:24,920
Speaker 2: a third down and knew it was man and man rep.

458
00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:27,480
Speaker 2: I just have my eyes the whole time right on

459
00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:30,320
Speaker 2: Metchi and Petrie and watch the whole thing. And I'm like,

460
00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:34,120
Speaker 2: that was as good a route as I've seen him run,

461
00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:37,720
Speaker 2: gets open, catches the football in the middle of the

462
00:20:37,760 --> 00:20:39,560
Speaker 2: field where you never know. I mean, you could have

463
00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:42,120
Speaker 2: a you could have a rat player who is coming

464
00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:44,320
Speaker 2: down hard, who's ready to hit you. He catches it,

465
00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:46,879
Speaker 2: snatches it, get upfield, and you could just tell, like

466
00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:49,560
Speaker 2: I could hear it from the players. CJ ran up,

467
00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:52,200
Speaker 2: they did their handshake. I mean, they were really excited

468
00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:52,600
Speaker 2: for John.

469
00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:53,960
Speaker 1: And that's the thing.

470
00:20:54,119 --> 00:20:58,359
Speaker 2: Now that's got to translate against the Giants a little bit.

471
00:20:58,359 --> 00:20:59,920
Speaker 1: That's got to translate against the Ram.

472
00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:02,800
Speaker 2: The joint practices I answer to translate to the Rams

473
00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:05,160
Speaker 2: game because.

474
00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:06,080
Speaker 1: That competition is that tight.

475
00:21:06,119 --> 00:21:08,679
Speaker 2: Because oh, by the way, a few plays after I

476
00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:11,960
Speaker 2: catched that deep ball, what Quintes Cephis do went up

477
00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:15,520
Speaker 2: in absolutely snatched one out of the air on a

478
00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:16,840
Speaker 2: deep throat from Tim Boyle.

479
00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:20,800
Speaker 1: I mean snatched it, yep, and we haven't heard a

480
00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:22,359
Speaker 1: lot from Cephas the last few days.

481
00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:24,120
Speaker 2: But that's the kind of thing that wakes you back

482
00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:26,960
Speaker 2: up to go, whoa, yeah that.

483
00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:31,360
Speaker 1: Was nice, and now you're back to okay, rostertology. Now

484
00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:33,159
Speaker 1: what now? What? Now? What do you do?

485
00:21:33,280 --> 00:21:36,000
Speaker 3: And it could be that And look, they're all different,

486
00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:38,960
Speaker 3: they all have different styles and skill sets and things

487
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:41,399
Speaker 3: they can do for you or for other people, as

488
00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:44,480
Speaker 3: it might turn out. I think with the next three,

489
00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:48,320
Speaker 3: after the Big three, it's more like a five or

490
00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:51,879
Speaker 3: a six, and you have the experience of Woods, and

491
00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:55,439
Speaker 3: you have the toughness of Xavier, and you have whatever

492
00:21:55,480 --> 00:21:57,280
Speaker 3: Skeronic brings you the versatility.

493
00:21:57,359 --> 00:21:58,680
Speaker 1: I don't have to go down the hold list.

494
00:21:58,520 --> 00:22:02,320
Speaker 3: Again, yep, but I feel like you could make a

495
00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:04,280
Speaker 3: case for anybody at this point. Oh.

496
00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:05,880
Speaker 1: Absolutely tough. It's tough.

497
00:22:06,280 --> 00:22:08,480
Speaker 3: There's a selection committee and there is that's this is

498
00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:09,400
Speaker 3: a selection committee.

499
00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:10,720
Speaker 1: We're not going to have a play in game.

500
00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:14,160
Speaker 3: This is a selection committee and it resides in Nick

501
00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:17,639
Speaker 3: Cassario Jamiico Ryan's offices. So I'm wondering how they're going

502
00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:19,960
Speaker 3: to play that out with these receivers. I just you

503
00:22:20,040 --> 00:22:21,680
Speaker 3: still have a couple of weeks, you still have a

504
00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:23,680
Speaker 3: week and a half because you have two preseason games,

505
00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:27,320
Speaker 3: you have the joint practices, you have some more evaluation opportunities,

506
00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:29,840
Speaker 3: and we're all eager to see how it happens.

507
00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:34,560
Speaker 1: Okay, so you tell me the numbers for each of these. Okay,

508
00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:35,920
Speaker 1: how many you keep it on the fifty three?

509
00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:42,400
Speaker 2: Master quarterback, three running back for three plus full back?

510
00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:50,200
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, yeah, tight end three. Look is Toriano getting back?

511
00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:53,879
Speaker 1: And that's that? That to me is the head is.

512
00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:57,320
Speaker 3: A big I might pop him, like right now, he's

513
00:22:57,320 --> 00:22:59,600
Speaker 3: not out there today. Yeah, he might be out there

514
00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:02,199
Speaker 3: next week. I don't but right now I'm popping him

515
00:23:02,280 --> 00:23:04,159
Speaker 3: if I had to do it today. Like let's say

516
00:23:04,280 --> 00:23:07,160
Speaker 3: say you're making the fifty three today, I'm going three

517
00:23:07,200 --> 00:23:12,959
Speaker 3: tight ends. I got I Pupatorian and pator I'm with

518
00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:13,400
Speaker 3: you on that.

519
00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:20,000
Speaker 1: Tight ends. Humming wide receivers. Then six okay, humming lineman.

520
00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:22,920
Speaker 1: Oh see, this is what I always hate.

521
00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:27,440
Speaker 3: Nine Okay because nine that practice squad is so loaded.

522
00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:31,439
Speaker 1: I was I was messing with my numbers today. Okay.

523
00:23:31,920 --> 00:23:35,840
Speaker 2: Three quarterbacks, three running backs, full back, six wide receivers,

524
00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:36,840
Speaker 2: three tight.

525
00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:39,640
Speaker 3: Ends, ten o linemen. Let's do the line really quick.

526
00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:40,160
Speaker 3: You did ten?

527
00:23:40,280 --> 00:23:40,600
Speaker 1: Huh?

528
00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:49,720
Speaker 2: Ten did Laramie Laraimie, Kenyon, Juice Shack, Titus Broker, Irving Patterson, Fisher,

529
00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:52,720
Speaker 2: and then the battle between kennered Green Chris Reid.

530
00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:57,040
Speaker 3: That's ten. Who are we leaving out? That's done? Stuff

531
00:23:57,280 --> 00:24:01,240
Speaker 3: sharp sharp, he's off. I mean, I don't know if

532
00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:02,280
Speaker 3: I can keep four tackles.

533
00:24:02,359 --> 00:24:04,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, five tackles. I've got four all round.

534
00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:06,240
Speaker 3: I like your ten. Let's just leave it at ten. Okay,

535
00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:07,399
Speaker 3: where do we at with offense?

536
00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:10,240
Speaker 1: Right? That's twenty six. Oh, that's too many. That could

537
00:24:10,280 --> 00:24:12,720
Speaker 1: be too many. That's three specialists, that's twenty nine.

538
00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:16,280
Speaker 3: That means we have twenty four, twenty four. Let's do

539
00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:18,520
Speaker 3: the defense real quick, oky, real quick.

540
00:24:18,560 --> 00:24:21,960
Speaker 1: All right, let's do it. Okay, that back end is tough, though.

541
00:24:22,040 --> 00:24:26,080
Speaker 2: Man at corner, so I've got so you gotta have

542
00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:26,640
Speaker 2: another corner.

543
00:24:26,720 --> 00:24:28,840
Speaker 1: So I got Stingley, Lassiter, CJ.

544
00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:34,800
Speaker 2: Henderson, Nickel, Petrie King, and then there's a Nickel I'm

545
00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:37,520
Speaker 2: leaving off that I love, and he had a great

546
00:24:37,560 --> 00:24:38,080
Speaker 2: day today.

547
00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:39,640
Speaker 1: Riles Bryant, yep.

548
00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:46,399
Speaker 2: Safety, I've got Jimmy Caln Kaylin and Eric Murray right,

549
00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:49,480
Speaker 2: and MJ's kind of banged up right now, so that's eight.

550
00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:52,800
Speaker 2: So my guess is I'm keeping ten back there. Yeah,

551
00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:56,000
Speaker 2: so that means I need one corner. Now I got

552
00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:59,320
Speaker 2: to think about Mike Ford with Mike. Mike's a special

553
00:24:59,359 --> 00:25:03,800
Speaker 2: team stuff. But is it banged up? What coutas banged up?

554
00:25:04,480 --> 00:25:07,600
Speaker 2: So that that's the trouble because right now couts banged up,

555
00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:08,880
Speaker 2: MJ's banged up.

556
00:25:09,440 --> 00:25:11,440
Speaker 3: I don't know how banged up those guys are, right,

557
00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:12,720
Speaker 3: and now they love MJ.

558
00:25:12,960 --> 00:25:17,920
Speaker 2: Yeah exactly, So yes, that's I think you keep ten

559
00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:18,480
Speaker 2: total back.

560
00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:21,080
Speaker 3: Then all right, let's go to linebackers because this this

561
00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:23,359
Speaker 3: gets interesting because you're a nickel all the time, but

562
00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:24,440
Speaker 3: you need them for kickoffs.

563
00:25:24,840 --> 00:25:25,840
Speaker 1: Let's say you go six.

564
00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:28,800
Speaker 3: Let's say Kristin Harris is back. Okay, let's say you

565
00:25:28,840 --> 00:25:33,119
Speaker 3: go six. All right, so Henry christian Z's there's three.

566
00:25:33,440 --> 00:25:37,280
Speaker 2: Hanson, Hanson's first team reps. Hanson's definitely definitely. Yeah, that's

567
00:25:37,280 --> 00:25:39,840
Speaker 2: four right there, right, Neville Nevill's got to be on

568
00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:43,960
Speaker 2: the go, and you said keep six, keep I say six.

569
00:25:44,080 --> 00:25:48,400
Speaker 2: Del Sean Phillips, del Sean or Jacob Phillips, I would

570
00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:50,560
Speaker 2: think you practice squad one or both of the two.

571
00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:52,359
Speaker 2: Rookie Streak, Barns and Max Tooley.

572
00:25:53,359 --> 00:25:56,119
Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, do that, Okay, elevate them if you need

573
00:25:56,160 --> 00:25:56,440
Speaker 3: the money.

574
00:25:56,440 --> 00:26:00,000
Speaker 2: So ten dbs, six linebackers, So to get to twenty four,

575
00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:02,560
Speaker 2: that leaves eight d lineman.

576
00:26:03,359 --> 00:26:05,600
Speaker 3: Oh and that sucks because we want to keep fifteen

577
00:26:05,640 --> 00:26:06,200
Speaker 3: of those.

578
00:26:05,960 --> 00:26:10,359
Speaker 1: Guys, I know. So I mean you start going down now.

579
00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:13,359
Speaker 2: You obviously have Denko who will be out for the

580
00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:15,879
Speaker 2: first six, so don't worry about him.

581
00:26:16,040 --> 00:26:17,320
Speaker 1: Okay, so he's out.

582
00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:21,560
Speaker 2: So now all of a sudden, let's go dand Will Neil,

583
00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:23,200
Speaker 2: Jerry Barnett.

584
00:26:23,320 --> 00:26:23,960
Speaker 1: There's four.

585
00:26:24,280 --> 00:26:27,840
Speaker 2: We haven't you mentioned Ali Gay, who I think should

586
00:26:27,840 --> 00:26:28,960
Speaker 2: be practice squad again because.

587
00:26:28,760 --> 00:26:30,040
Speaker 1: I don't think he needs to be. He needs need

588
00:26:30,040 --> 00:26:31,960
Speaker 1: to keep him around. He's really impressed. We'll go to

589
00:26:31,960 --> 00:26:33,520
Speaker 1: tackle right tackle.

590
00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:41,879
Speaker 4: Now, you got four left Foley, Mario, Khalil remaining, Kurt

591
00:26:42,200 --> 00:26:45,880
Speaker 4: Kurt Marcus, Harris McTelvin.

592
00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:50,359
Speaker 3: I geeme, jeez, I gotta I gotta keep five of

593
00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:54,200
Speaker 3: those guys. I gotta keep five, So Paris or McTelvin.

594
00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:57,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, So either I cut a linebacker, which I don't

595
00:26:57,040 --> 00:26:58,439
Speaker 2: really want to do because that's going to hurt my

596
00:26:58,440 --> 00:26:59,159
Speaker 2: special teams.

597
00:27:00,359 --> 00:27:01,480
Speaker 1: Gosh, this is tough.

598
00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:04,080
Speaker 3: I think I gotta. I think I have to take

599
00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:06,119
Speaker 3: a risk on an offensive lineman that I want to

600
00:27:06,119 --> 00:27:07,080
Speaker 3: put on the practice squad.

601
00:27:07,400 --> 00:27:07,879
Speaker 1: I might have to.

602
00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:10,200
Speaker 2: I might have to go with nine, because at least

603
00:27:10,359 --> 00:27:14,320
Speaker 2: now i'm looking offensive line, I can I can use

604
00:27:14,359 --> 00:27:17,280
Speaker 2: Broker at guard and tackle. I could use Cameron Irving

605
00:27:17,320 --> 00:27:21,879
Speaker 2: at guard or tackle. Kendrick is just a guard, Blake

606
00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:25,439
Speaker 2: is just a tackle. M H. I mean, obviously you're

607
00:27:25,520 --> 00:27:27,719
Speaker 2: keeping Blake. There's no doubt. I just thought of something.

608
00:27:28,359 --> 00:27:32,159
Speaker 3: I don't want Keenum off this team. I don't and

609
00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:35,240
Speaker 3: I don't think they do either. But I got a

610
00:27:35,280 --> 00:27:37,560
Speaker 3: feeling if you went with two quarterbacks on the active

611
00:27:37,640 --> 00:27:39,959
Speaker 3: roster and tried to stuff one on the practice squad,

612
00:27:40,119 --> 00:27:42,399
Speaker 3: you couldn't get away with it with Keenum, but you

613
00:27:42,520 --> 00:27:44,719
Speaker 3: could with Boil if they liked him enough to do

614
00:27:44,800 --> 00:27:48,800
Speaker 3: it right. Yeah, and that makes Keenum. So we got expendable.

615
00:27:48,800 --> 00:27:50,920
Speaker 3: But I can't have We gotta have Case. We can't

616
00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:52,720
Speaker 3: have Case off. You've gotta have Case Keenum on the

617
00:27:52,760 --> 00:27:54,960
Speaker 3: football team. You're trying to win a super Bowl here,

618
00:27:55,040 --> 00:27:56,919
Speaker 3: and he's got to be a part of it, at

619
00:27:57,040 --> 00:27:58,560
Speaker 3: least on the squad.

620
00:27:59,119 --> 00:28:00,600
Speaker 2: I was writing this all down to that, and I

621
00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:03,600
Speaker 2: felt pretty good. And then we started talking about it,

622
00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:06,520
Speaker 2: and now I have no idea.

623
00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:08,520
Speaker 3: I and we didn't even name the receivers in this

624
00:28:08,520 --> 00:28:11,880
Speaker 3: little exercise because we've done that before. We didn't even

625
00:28:11,920 --> 00:28:14,600
Speaker 3: chop it down to six, which is like saying, you

626
00:28:14,600 --> 00:28:18,240
Speaker 3: know Sophie's choice for your children, not literally, all right,

627
00:28:18,359 --> 00:28:21,200
Speaker 3: it's a fictional movie. It's not a true story, and

628
00:28:21,480 --> 00:28:23,119
Speaker 3: don't at me with this one.

629
00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:27,000
Speaker 2: I feel like, based on training camp, I feel five.

630
00:28:27,119 --> 00:28:30,679
Speaker 2: I feel very confident about five. But I won't lock anything,

631
00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:34,000
Speaker 2: but I feel confident about five. The big three, Robert

632
00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:37,280
Speaker 2: Woods and Hutch after that, I think it's a free

633
00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:38,280
Speaker 2: for all for number six.

634
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:42,840
Speaker 3: But you wouldn't be totally shocked if somehow they let

635
00:28:42,880 --> 00:28:46,800
Speaker 3: Woods find another opportunity. You wouldn't be totally surprised. I

636
00:28:46,840 --> 00:28:48,000
Speaker 3: don't want to see it, but I don't want to

637
00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:48,720
Speaker 3: see any of them go.

638
00:28:48,920 --> 00:28:49,920
Speaker 1: But I love Robert Woods.

639
00:28:49,920 --> 00:28:52,520
Speaker 3: I want him in interviews off like that, and I

640
00:28:52,520 --> 00:28:54,120
Speaker 3: think he's very reliable for CJ.

641
00:28:54,200 --> 00:28:56,400
Speaker 1: Stroud. You and I have been around this.

642
00:28:56,440 --> 00:28:58,120
Speaker 2: You've been around this NFL game longer than I have,

643
00:28:58,280 --> 00:28:59,920
Speaker 2: but we have been around it long enough to know

644
00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:04,200
Speaker 2: nothing nothing surprises us.

645
00:29:04,280 --> 00:29:05,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's nothing.

646
00:29:06,120 --> 00:29:08,720
Speaker 3: A great point when in a couple of weeks when

647
00:29:08,760 --> 00:29:12,280
Speaker 3: they chop it down. So it's really gonna start happening.

648
00:29:12,280 --> 00:29:16,080
Speaker 3: What a week from Monday? A week from Monday, Oh God,

649
00:29:16,120 --> 00:29:18,600
Speaker 3: you're gonna see this thing happen. Ye, yeah, right after

650
00:29:18,640 --> 00:29:22,160
Speaker 3: the game against the Rams, they're gonna start talking to guys.

651
00:29:22,200 --> 00:29:24,200
Speaker 1: I am not mentally prepared for this, yes, and I

652
00:29:24,240 --> 00:29:26,280
Speaker 1: know it's coming. I'm not mentally prepared.

653
00:29:25,920 --> 00:29:28,719
Speaker 3: Going to have one or two names where you're gonna say, WHOA,

654
00:29:29,160 --> 00:29:32,280
Speaker 3: did not see that coming even with all these conversations

655
00:29:32,360 --> 00:29:32,920
Speaker 3: we've had.

656
00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:35,520
Speaker 1: But that's life in the NFL. That is life in

657
00:29:35,560 --> 00:29:36,240
Speaker 1: the NFL.

658
00:29:36,840 --> 00:29:40,880
Speaker 2: And it's time to transition to other football as in football,

659
00:29:41,080 --> 00:29:44,600
Speaker 2: and we'll talk to college football with my man David Fletcher.

660
00:29:44,680 --> 00:29:47,840
Speaker 1: Fletch is coming up next on Texans All Access. What's Happened? Everybody?

661
00:29:47,840 --> 00:29:50,800

662
00:29:50,840 --> 00:29:54,440
Speaker 2: from the Monday Texans Radio studio. Every now and again,

663
00:29:55,200 --> 00:29:58,000
Speaker 2: probably should be more than every now and again, but

664
00:29:58,040 --> 00:30:00,440
Speaker 2: we get a chance to catch up with my good

665
00:30:00,480 --> 00:30:02,600
Speaker 2: friend and I am John Harris, football and a sideline

666
00:30:02,640 --> 00:30:06,680
Speaker 2: reporter for your Houston Texans David Fletcher, general manager of

667
00:30:06,800 --> 00:30:10,640
Speaker 2: Lone Star Sports and Entertainment, Executive director of the Texas

668
00:30:10,800 --> 00:30:15,240
Speaker 2: Bull Fletch. When we have you on, it's always good

669
00:30:15,240 --> 00:30:17,800
Speaker 2: for me because I get to scratch my college football itch.

670
00:30:18,520 --> 00:30:20,160
Speaker 2: But we also get to talk about the other football.

671
00:30:20,200 --> 00:30:22,160
Speaker 2: I shouldn't say the other football, football, if you can

672
00:30:22,200 --> 00:30:23,960
Speaker 2: talk a little bit about soccer, because it's been the

673
00:30:23,960 --> 00:30:26,480
Speaker 2: summer of soccer. First of all, how are you doing,

674
00:30:26,520 --> 00:30:29,680
Speaker 2: my friend? I got a lot of you got a

675
00:30:29,680 --> 00:30:33,520
Speaker 2: lot in there, Johnny. I'm doing great. We have had

676
00:30:33,560 --> 00:30:35,920
Speaker 2: an amazing summer of soccer. But it is great to

677
00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:40,200
Speaker 2: be back to football and looking forward to the home

678
00:30:40,440 --> 00:30:43,560
Speaker 2: preseason opener this this weekend, Saturday, mattin A.

679
00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:47,520
Speaker 1: I like it twelve noon. It'll be fun. I'll be

680
00:30:47,600 --> 00:30:49,120
Speaker 1: up into booth so I don't know how warm it's

681
00:30:49,120 --> 00:30:50,960
Speaker 1: going to be inside, but either way, we'll get it

682
00:30:50,960 --> 00:30:52,240
Speaker 1: done on TV. That's gonna be fun.

683
00:30:52,280 --> 00:30:53,640
Speaker 2: So I get a chance to do that at home,

684
00:30:54,320 --> 00:30:56,520
Speaker 2: and that will be the national game apparently on NFL network,

685
00:30:56,560 --> 00:30:58,240
Speaker 2: so it'll be kind kind of interesting as well.

686
00:30:58,320 --> 00:31:01,800
Speaker 1: But the summer of soccer is not over, is it not.

687
00:31:02,880 --> 00:31:07,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, we look when you've had as great as a

688
00:31:07,320 --> 00:31:10,680
Speaker 5: summer as we've had, you know, three amazing Copa America

689
00:31:10,760 --> 00:31:15,480
Speaker 5: matches here, headlined by Argentina winning a thriller in the quarterfinal.

690
00:31:15,920 --> 00:31:18,760
Speaker 5: Lionel Messi and friends on their way to the championship

691
00:31:19,360 --> 00:31:24,960
Speaker 5: over Ecuador League's Cup came to NRG Stadium inner Miami,

Speaker 5: lion O Messi's club team taking on Tigris in an

693
00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:32,520
Speaker 5: electric atmosphere here in August. But when you've got that

694
00:31:32,840 --> 00:31:35,880
Speaker 5: many people, over a quarter of a million people came

695
00:31:35,920 --> 00:31:41,280
Speaker 5: to soccer matches at NRG Stadium this summer, why stop there,

696
00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:42,720
Speaker 5: Just keep the training.

697
00:31:43,760 --> 00:31:46,840
Speaker 1: It's the summer slash fall of soccer.

698
00:31:47,040 --> 00:31:51,000
Speaker 5: And we were very excited on Monday to announce Mexico's

699
00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:55,800
Speaker 5: greatest rivalry America and Chievs coming to NRG Stadium this

700
00:31:56,040 --> 00:32:01,040
Speaker 5: October thirteenth. So another big day in Houston in Texans

701
00:32:01,080 --> 00:32:02,920
Speaker 5: will be on the road up at New England. We'll

702
00:32:02,920 --> 00:32:07,160
Speaker 5: get a win there, yep, come home. The greatest rivalry

703
00:32:07,200 --> 00:32:10,920
Speaker 5: in this region on the football pitch will occur as

704
00:32:11,360 --> 00:32:15,160
Speaker 5: the two League MX powerhouses will bring their annual rivalry

705
00:32:15,200 --> 00:32:17,240
Speaker 5: game they play here in the United States to Houston

706
00:32:17,280 --> 00:32:19,719
Speaker 5: for the first time. It should be an amazing atmosphere,

707
00:32:19,800 --> 00:32:23,480
Speaker 5: much like each of those previous matches, and something I'm

708
00:32:23,520 --> 00:32:27,160
Speaker 5: really really excited about and been working with the two

709
00:32:27,200 --> 00:32:30,800
Speaker 5: teams in Primetime Sports who were partnering with on this

710
00:32:30,880 --> 00:32:34,960
Speaker 5: event to make happen for over a decade here in Houston,

711
00:32:35,040 --> 00:32:38,440
Speaker 5: to finally get that matchup as something truly special. I mean, hey,

712
00:32:38,480 --> 00:32:40,440
Speaker 5: the mayor showed up for the announcement. It's a big

713
00:32:40,480 --> 00:32:42,080
Speaker 5: deal with the mayor of the judger here, so.

714
00:32:42,080 --> 00:32:45,000
Speaker 1: That is very very cool. The mayor, I think it was.

715
00:32:44,920 --> 00:32:48,560
Speaker 2: His birthday today or yesterday, So yesterday birthday, Mayor Mayor

716
00:32:48,640 --> 00:32:50,440
Speaker 2: John Whitmar. So let me ask you this flutch, and

717
00:32:50,440 --> 00:32:53,400
Speaker 2: I don't want this to come off sounding a negative

718
00:32:53,400 --> 00:32:57,000
Speaker 2: in any way, shape or form, but why would they

719
00:32:57,480 --> 00:32:59,800
Speaker 2: choose with a rivalry like that, why would they choose.

720
00:32:59,560 --> 00:33:01,719
Speaker 5: To play that game here? I think you look at

721
00:33:01,720 --> 00:33:05,240
Speaker 5: a lot of factors. I mean, the league ams, teams,

722
00:33:05,280 --> 00:33:10,960
Speaker 5: particularly the four really powerhouse clubs, America Achieves, Tigris and Riatos.

723
00:33:11,720 --> 00:33:15,880
Speaker 5: Those clubs have such a strong presence in the United States,

724
00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:20,560
Speaker 5: incredible fans, particularly here in Texas. America and Chieves have

725
00:33:20,600 --> 00:33:23,200
Speaker 5: both played here several times in the past, but they've

726
00:33:23,240 --> 00:33:26,280
Speaker 5: never played each other, and so the opportunity for that

727
00:33:26,360 --> 00:33:29,360
Speaker 5: event to cap off, you know, the the end of

728
00:33:29,400 --> 00:33:33,000
Speaker 5: the celebration that is Hispanic Heritage Month, and to bring

729
00:33:33,160 --> 00:33:36,920
Speaker 5: that rivalry with all the connections between Houston and Mexico,

730
00:33:37,520 --> 00:33:41,400
Speaker 5: with all the the soccer that we do in this community,

731
00:33:41,600 --> 00:33:45,120
Speaker 5: you know previously and leading up and into the World Cup,

732
00:33:45,160 --> 00:33:48,120
Speaker 5: it's it's the perfect atmosphere for it. They were in

733
00:33:48,160 --> 00:33:51,880
Speaker 5: the Rose Bowl last year at eighty six thousand at

734
00:33:51,920 --> 00:33:55,040
Speaker 5: the Rose Bowl for the match. We can't quite get

735
00:33:55,080 --> 00:33:57,520
Speaker 5: there here in Houston. We don't have eighty six thousand

736
00:33:57,600 --> 00:34:01,040
Speaker 5: seats to do. But you know, event that's averaged over

737
00:34:01,120 --> 00:34:06,200
Speaker 5: sixty one thousand over the last five years, playing in Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas, LA.

738
00:34:06,360 --> 00:34:07,360
Speaker 1: Now coming to Houston.

739
00:34:07,440 --> 00:34:09,839
Speaker 5: It just makes a lot of sense, you know, from

740
00:34:09,840 --> 00:34:14,040
Speaker 5: a from a community perspective, from certainly from from you know,

741
00:34:14,480 --> 00:34:19,480
Speaker 5: an atmosphere and an organization perspective for us, and and

742
00:34:19,520 --> 00:34:22,480
Speaker 5: then you just look at, you know, what this building

743
00:34:22,520 --> 00:34:24,279
Speaker 5: and what our community has been able to do on

744
00:34:24,320 --> 00:34:25,120
Speaker 5: the soccer front.

745
00:34:25,160 --> 00:34:27,600
Speaker 1: It's another jewel in that crowd and we're really excited

746
00:34:27,640 --> 00:34:27,960
Speaker 1: about it.

747
00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:31,560
Speaker 2: And obviously this is a home away from home for

748
00:34:31,840 --> 00:34:35,400
Speaker 2: the Mexican national team. So obviously there are many many

749
00:34:35,440 --> 00:34:37,560
Speaker 2: fans of the mexicanational team, which I would imagine will

750
00:34:37,560 --> 00:34:40,479
Speaker 2: be fans of the two teams meeting October thirteenth. Okay,

751
00:34:40,520 --> 00:34:43,600
Speaker 2: give the information again October thirteenth here at Nargye Stadium.

00:34:43,239 --> 00:34:46,880

Speaker 2: And I know you've got a great group around you

783
00:36:05,160 --> 00:36:06,760
Speaker 2: that helps you do that as well.

784
00:36:06,960 --> 00:36:09,680
Speaker 1: But you know how I roll. I love soccer. I've

785
00:36:09,680 --> 00:36:10,000
Speaker 1: gotten to.

786
00:36:09,960 --> 00:36:11,480
Speaker 2: Where I love soccer, and I know people that knew

787
00:36:11,480 --> 00:36:13,360
Speaker 2: me probably twenty five thirty years ago won't believe that.

788
00:36:13,400 --> 00:36:15,120
Speaker 2: But I love soccer and I love the fact that

789
00:36:15,160 --> 00:36:16,160
Speaker 2: you've brought these events here.

790
00:36:16,160 --> 00:36:18,759
Speaker 1: But you know I love talking football, Yes you do.

791
00:36:18,840 --> 00:36:21,680
Speaker 2: I love talking football, and we know we're gonna have

792
00:36:21,760 --> 00:36:24,720
Speaker 2: football here that's non Texans. We got two games lined

793
00:36:24,800 --> 00:36:28,480
Speaker 2: up this fall and depending on one Winter Stars. Yeah,

794
00:36:28,640 --> 00:36:32,800
Speaker 2: this winner as well one we've had before in Texas

795
00:36:32,800 --> 00:36:35,640
Speaker 2: Bawl that's been here, but it's got a new date.

796
00:36:36,040 --> 00:36:38,000
Speaker 1: But we've also got a team that's been here.

797
00:36:37,920 --> 00:36:40,520
Speaker 2: Before but just kind of mixed up a little different

798
00:36:40,760 --> 00:36:41,680
Speaker 2: with what they're going to play.

799
00:36:41,680 --> 00:36:43,719
Speaker 1: What's our football status going on? Says fall and winter.

800
00:36:44,120 --> 00:36:48,960
Speaker 5: Yeah, So Saturday, September twenty fifth, Sam Houston continues their

801
00:36:49,360 --> 00:36:52,400
Speaker 5: partnership with our organization bringing a home game down here

802
00:36:52,880 --> 00:36:57,000
Speaker 5: in State, rivals renewing one hundred plus year rivalry that

803
00:36:57,120 --> 00:36:59,400
Speaker 5: has been on the shelf for over a decade with

804
00:36:59,520 --> 00:37:03,720
Speaker 5: their with their sister university, Texas State. So it should

805
00:37:03,719 --> 00:37:08,400
Speaker 5: be a really high flying, fun energetic game. We know

806
00:37:08,440 --> 00:37:13,120
Speaker 5: what Casey Keeler and the Bearcats can do. Man, what

807
00:37:13,120 --> 00:37:17,120
Speaker 5: what Kenny has been able to do over at.

808
00:37:16,080 --> 00:37:19,920
Speaker 1: At Texas State is just phenomenal. You know.

809
00:37:19,960 --> 00:37:23,400
Speaker 5: They they brought the energy all last year and and

810
00:37:23,480 --> 00:37:25,480
Speaker 5: he's back in a big way, and I think they're

811
00:37:25,480 --> 00:37:26,680
Speaker 5: going to compete in the Sun Belt.

812
00:37:27,719 --> 00:37:29,840
Speaker 1: So it really is going to be fun to see

813
00:37:29,840 --> 00:37:30,600
Speaker 1: that rivalry.

814
00:37:30,640 --> 00:37:34,080
Speaker 5: A big weekend out here is you'll have Sam Houston

815
00:37:34,560 --> 00:37:38,360
Speaker 5: and Texas State on Saturday afternoon, Texans and Jags on

816
00:37:38,480 --> 00:37:41,960
Speaker 5: Sunday here at NRG. Love the back to back, love

817
00:37:42,040 --> 00:37:45,480
Speaker 5: the opportunity to host a big football weekend, and that

818
00:37:45,640 --> 00:37:48,880
Speaker 5: is a weekend where you know you're gonna get a

819
00:37:48,960 --> 00:37:52,920
Speaker 5: chance to see I think a new and improved Bearcat

820
00:37:52,960 --> 00:37:55,680
Speaker 5: team under casey Q of that first year last year

821
00:37:55,960 --> 00:37:59,400
Speaker 5: making the leap to Conference USA, a lot of learnings.

822
00:37:59,440 --> 00:38:02,919
Speaker 5: But year two, I think he's got the engine humming again.

823
00:38:02,960 --> 00:38:05,879
Speaker 5: And I know you cover the team closely, it's fun

824
00:38:05,920 --> 00:38:08,000
Speaker 5: to see what they're gonna be able to do. And really,

825
00:38:08,920 --> 00:38:12,440
Speaker 5: you know, just a fun, family, affordable opportunity to get

826
00:38:12,440 --> 00:38:15,759
Speaker 5: out here at a big time football at NRG, and we're

827
00:38:15,800 --> 00:38:16,960
Speaker 5: excited to welcome back.

828
00:38:17,000 --> 00:38:19,560
Speaker 1: I think it's our twelfth straight year that.

829
00:38:19,480 --> 00:38:22,279
Speaker 5: We've had Sam Houston here for a home game and

830
00:38:22,280 --> 00:38:23,960
Speaker 5: always a fun, always a fun atmosphere.

831
00:38:24,000 --> 00:38:25,839
Speaker 2: So I don't know if you can divulge this or not,

832
00:38:26,320 --> 00:38:28,680
Speaker 2: but is that going to be a rivalry that we

833
00:38:29,080 --> 00:38:31,160
Speaker 2: that's going to continue to come back to NURGY Stadium

834
00:38:31,239 --> 00:38:32,799
Speaker 2: or is it going to be same Houston against somebody

835
00:38:32,840 --> 00:38:34,959
Speaker 2: else in the future, or is that to be determined to.

836
00:38:34,880 --> 00:38:39,520
Speaker 5: Be determined, you know, these to these two institutions. While

837
00:38:39,960 --> 00:38:42,680
Speaker 5: a very lengthy one hundred plus years of history, they

838
00:38:42,680 --> 00:38:45,160
Speaker 5: have not played each other in over a decade. Yeah,

839
00:38:45,320 --> 00:38:49,239
Speaker 5: so they are part of the same university system. They've

840
00:38:49,239 --> 00:38:52,040
Speaker 5: got a lot of rivalry in who they compete against,

841
00:38:52,080 --> 00:38:56,000
Speaker 5: and so we hope this year is is a great

842
00:38:56,000 --> 00:38:59,080
Speaker 5: step in that direction to continue it. But certainly don't

843
00:38:59,080 --> 00:39:01,560
Speaker 5: want to miss out on the renewal of that rivalry.

844
00:39:01,640 --> 00:39:04,319
Speaker 5: So get out here for a little Texas shootout on

845
00:39:04,400 --> 00:39:07,000
Speaker 5: Saturday twenty fifth, and hey, if you want to stick

846
00:39:07,040 --> 00:39:09,600
Speaker 5: around and watch a little football from from the from

847
00:39:09,600 --> 00:39:13,720
Speaker 5: the guys in the Liberty White deep steel deep Steel blue,

848
00:39:13,719 --> 00:39:14,920
Speaker 5: and yeah, battle red.

849
00:39:14,800 --> 00:39:16,799
Speaker 1: The very the very next day. Yeah, that'll be Uh,

850
00:39:17,160 --> 00:39:18,440
Speaker 1: that'd be a fun weekend.

851
00:39:18,520 --> 00:39:20,840
Speaker 2: I loved it last year, you know, having the opportunity

852
00:39:20,880 --> 00:39:22,800
Speaker 2: to have one game on Saturday then a game on Sunday.

853
00:39:22,840 --> 00:39:24,960
Speaker 1: It's tiring, but but I loved it.

854
00:39:25,000 --> 00:39:28,040
Speaker 2: Nonetheless, But I if I had my drothers, that would

855
00:39:28,040 --> 00:39:30,960
Speaker 2: be a great rivalry to keep coming back to Energie Stadium.

856
00:39:31,000 --> 00:39:33,360
Speaker 1: I know that's not in it's out of your hands,

857
00:39:33,400 --> 00:39:34,080
Speaker 1: but I.

858
00:39:34,000 --> 00:39:36,000
Speaker 2: Think if that were a rivalry that you can continue

859
00:39:36,040 --> 00:39:38,280
Speaker 2: to bring back those two teams. I know Sam's record

860
00:39:38,320 --> 00:39:40,759
Speaker 2: last year wasn't what it had been, and it was like, oh,

861
00:39:40,920 --> 00:39:43,120
Speaker 2: they went up, they got smoked. No, they had about

862
00:39:43,120 --> 00:39:45,600
Speaker 2: four or five games where they had to lead or

863
00:39:46,160 --> 00:39:48,680
Speaker 2: could have scored on the last player or last drive

864
00:39:48,719 --> 00:39:51,520
Speaker 2: of the game to win games, probably four or five times,

865
00:39:51,960 --> 00:39:55,520
Speaker 2: and they just kept going the other direction against them.

866
00:39:55,880 --> 00:39:56,560
Speaker 1: That's the team that.

867
00:39:56,600 --> 00:40:01,439
Speaker 2: Eased not easily, but if five plays go the other way,

868
00:40:01,520 --> 00:40:03,279
Speaker 2: you're talking about a team that probably could have gone

869
00:40:03,280 --> 00:40:05,360
Speaker 2: seven and five, eight and four potentially.

870
00:40:05,160 --> 00:40:05,800
Speaker 1: But it didn't.

871
00:40:06,560 --> 00:40:07,960
Speaker 2: And so now they've got to they got to go

872
00:40:07,960 --> 00:40:10,759
Speaker 2: back to the drug board improve it. And I think

873
00:40:10,840 --> 00:40:12,840
Speaker 2: it's a conference they can win, and that that was

874
00:40:12,880 --> 00:40:15,840
Speaker 2: something that Casey talked to me about this past spring.

875
00:40:16,040 --> 00:40:17,800
Speaker 2: He felt very confident. He's like, look, we had a

876
00:40:17,840 --> 00:40:20,960
Speaker 2: few of those plays go away. Who knows what happens.

877
00:40:21,000 --> 00:40:22,640
Speaker 2: And I remember doing the production meeting for one of

878
00:40:22,640 --> 00:40:24,479
Speaker 2: the games late in the year and he's like, John,

879
00:40:24,480 --> 00:40:25,719
Speaker 2: we're on our seventh running back.

880
00:40:26,000 --> 00:40:27,439
Speaker 1: Like, yeah, okay.

881
00:40:27,680 --> 00:40:29,799
Speaker 2: So they had a lot of injuries last year, and

882
00:40:29,880 --> 00:40:31,359
Speaker 2: you know, some of that has to do with moving up,

883
00:40:31,440 --> 00:40:33,279
Speaker 2: some of it just has to do with just the

884
00:40:33,320 --> 00:40:37,640
Speaker 2: mechanics of playing football at a higher level. But either way,

885
00:40:38,160 --> 00:40:40,440
Speaker 2: Texas State Sam Houston is going to be absolutely fantastic.

886
00:40:40,560 --> 00:40:42,640
Speaker 2: I can't I can't wait for that matchup and I

887
00:40:42,680 --> 00:40:44,319
Speaker 2: know the two schools are gonna be excited to get

888
00:40:44,320 --> 00:40:48,280
Speaker 2: back together and then the Koudi Gras. We end twenty

889
00:40:48,320 --> 00:40:52,320
Speaker 2: twenty four with the Texas Bowl first of all status

890
00:40:52,360 --> 00:40:52,920
Speaker 2: on a sponsor.

891
00:40:53,000 --> 00:40:54,719
Speaker 1: Do we know that to be determined as well?

892
00:40:55,160 --> 00:40:58,560
Speaker 5: To be determined look for an announcement here in the

893
00:40:58,640 --> 00:41:01,719
Speaker 5: very near future. Yeah, yeah, we you know, working with

894
00:41:02,040 --> 00:41:07,560
Speaker 5: ESPN to really continue the culture celebration, celebration in football

895
00:41:07,560 --> 00:41:11,640
Speaker 5: tradition at the lone star state that is the Texas Bowl.

896
00:41:12,120 --> 00:41:15,520

907
00:41:51,480 --> 00:41:56,000
Speaker 5: what Bowl season has has become, how it's evolved. You know,

908
00:41:56,840 --> 00:42:00,240
Speaker 5: it's about having fun, and that's exactly what we are

909

Speaker 5: are focused on doing. You know, we've had a tremendous

910
00:42:05,160 --> 00:42:08,600
Speaker 5: impact on this community through the sport and through the

911
00:42:08,640 --> 00:42:12,440
Speaker 5: game over the years. Part of that is benefiting a

912
00:42:12,440 --> 00:42:16,600
Speaker 5: wonderful charity into Pelching Children's Center, but really turning up

913
00:42:16,640 --> 00:42:21,080

938
00:43:36,520 --> 00:43:38,840
Speaker 5: something that everybody's keeping an eye on. But you know,

939
00:43:38,960 --> 00:43:42,040
Speaker 5: right here in Houston, coming off of last year's National

Speaker 5: TSU Prairie View, Houston Christian, and then come out here

944
00:43:54,760 --> 00:43:57,799

Speaker 2: The Texans will not face a certain quarterback Week three,

955
00:44:32,400 --> 00:44:33,839
Speaker 2: at least that's the way it looks right now. We'll

Speaker 1: What's happened? Everybody?

959
00:44:37,440 --> 00:44:40,360
Speaker 2: Welcome back to this final segment this Wednesday edition of

960
00:44:40,400 --> 00:44:43,480
Speaker 2: Texans All Access. I am your host, John Harris, football analyst,

961
00:44:43,600 --> 00:44:46,279
Speaker 2: sideline reporter, and hopefully you check out my Harris hits.

962
00:44:46,280 --> 00:44:49,520
Speaker 2: They got out a little bit later today because there

963
00:44:49,600 --> 00:44:53,120
Speaker 2: were lots of you heard Mark and I breaking down

964
00:44:53,520 --> 00:44:56,480
Speaker 2: the practice and manaed quarterbacks through the ball well going

965
00:44:56,520 --> 00:44:59,440
Speaker 2: back over my notes and seeing the note and then

966
00:44:59,480 --> 00:45:01,399
Speaker 2: thinking back, oh yeah, I remember that play.

967
00:45:01,400 --> 00:45:03,480
Speaker 1: Oh I remember that play. But the quarterbacks threw really

968
00:45:03,520 --> 00:45:04,000
Speaker 1: really well.

969
00:45:04,040 --> 00:45:07,840
Speaker 2: So go check out my Harris hits Houston Texans dot Com.

970
00:45:08,000 --> 00:45:09,359
Speaker 1: Check those out.

971
00:45:09,400 --> 00:45:12,080
Speaker 2: All right, let's get around news around the NFL, and

972
00:45:12,160 --> 00:45:16,319
Speaker 2: probably the biggest news item is what.

973
00:45:16,440 --> 00:45:18,360
Speaker 1: Is happening in Minnesota.

974
00:45:18,480 --> 00:45:22,160
Speaker 2: Now, keep in mind, the Texans go to Minnesota Week three.

975
00:45:22,520 --> 00:45:26,560
Speaker 2: Texans never beaten Minnesota and Minnesota. They ever beat in Minnesota.

976
00:45:26,760 --> 00:45:31,040
Speaker 2: I don't think they've ever beaten Minnesota, So this news

977
00:45:31,040 --> 00:45:33,920
Speaker 2: becomes all the more intriguing.

978
00:45:33,440 --> 00:45:34,280
Speaker 1: If you will.

979
00:45:34,480 --> 00:45:38,080
Speaker 2: JJ mccarthur, who had a brilliant start to his preseason,

980
00:45:40,680 --> 00:45:44,040
Speaker 2: we talked about it a little bit yesterday. Torn meniscus

981
00:45:44,200 --> 00:45:46,960
Speaker 2: Now apparently, and I've kind of found this out as

982
00:45:47,000 --> 00:45:49,080
Speaker 2: I've read and talked to people in the medical field.

983
00:45:49,880 --> 00:45:52,879
Speaker 2: With a miniscus, you don't really know what you've got

984
00:45:53,000 --> 00:45:56,040
Speaker 2: until you get in there. If it's a full on repair,

985
00:45:56,400 --> 00:46:02,720
Speaker 2: it's months. If there's some tweaking in a not full repair,

986
00:46:02,760 --> 00:46:04,680
Speaker 2: it can be four to six weeks. Now, even at

987
00:46:04,719 --> 00:46:10,439
Speaker 2: four to six weeks, JJ McCarthy would probably not make

988
00:46:10,520 --> 00:46:11,480
Speaker 2: it back.

989
00:46:11,320 --> 00:46:13,799
Speaker 1: For the Week three game against the Texans.

990
00:46:14,400 --> 00:46:17,879
Speaker 2: Seemingly, it's not gonna be four to six weeks, it's

991
00:46:17,920 --> 00:46:23,440
Speaker 2: going to be months. JJ McCarthy announced today the season

992
00:46:23,719 --> 00:46:27,560
Speaker 2: is over for the promising rookie JJ McCarthy.

993
00:46:27,680 --> 00:46:28,880
Speaker 1: Season is over.

994
00:46:29,440 --> 00:46:34,040
Speaker 2: That is a gut punch for the Minnesota Vikings. Now

995
00:46:35,840 --> 00:46:38,200
Speaker 2: I know This is hard for people in Minnesota. You

996
00:46:38,239 --> 00:46:40,279
Speaker 2: get so geared up for the season, and then you

997
00:46:40,440 --> 00:46:44,879
Speaker 2: saw JJ McCarthy play so extremely well the other day

998
00:46:45,560 --> 00:46:49,919
Speaker 2: against the Las Vegas Raiders. You're thinking, oh, man, we

999
00:46:50,000 --> 00:46:52,239
Speaker 2: got the guy. This is gonna be fun. And then

1000
00:46:52,280 --> 00:46:55,719
Speaker 2: all of a sudden, wait what three days later? Four

1001
00:46:55,800 --> 00:46:58,280
Speaker 2: days later, it's announced he's out for the season.

1002
00:46:59,600 --> 00:46:59,839
Speaker 1: Yay.

1003
00:47:00,480 --> 00:47:02,279
Speaker 2: I mean that turnaround is just it's tough. It's kind

1004
00:47:02,320 --> 00:47:04,240
Speaker 2: of like hearing about match shot back in twenty eleven.

1005
00:47:04,320 --> 00:47:08,440
Speaker 2: It's just, Oh, it's just a gut punch. Now, I'm

1006
00:47:08,440 --> 00:47:09,239
Speaker 2: gonna try and go on.

1007
00:47:09,160 --> 00:47:09,839
Speaker 1: The other side of this.

1008
00:47:09,960 --> 00:47:12,799
Speaker 2: Positive for the Vikings, let's say things don't go well,

1009
00:47:14,280 --> 00:47:16,719
Speaker 2: they're gonna end up with a top five pick. Well,

1010
00:47:16,840 --> 00:47:19,919
Speaker 2: there are a ton of pass rushers, offensive linemen. There's

1011
00:47:19,920 --> 00:47:21,680
Speaker 2: a player they can get at the top five. There

1012
00:47:21,719 --> 00:47:24,200
Speaker 2: also will probably be a push to go maybe trade

1013
00:47:24,200 --> 00:47:26,680
Speaker 2: in at top five because there are not many quarterbacks

1014
00:47:26,719 --> 00:47:30,440
Speaker 2: in the upcoming draft, and so maybe the Vikings hoole

1015
00:47:30,480 --> 00:47:31,520
Speaker 2: a little wild card there.

1016
00:47:31,560 --> 00:47:31,959
Speaker 1: Who knows.

1017
00:47:32,000 --> 00:47:33,800
Speaker 2: I guess Sam Donald. You never know what's gonna happen.

1018
00:47:33,880 --> 00:47:37,000
Speaker 2: And it sounds like the Texans will face Sam Donald

1019
00:47:37,040 --> 00:47:39,120
Speaker 2: when they face them in week three. All right, that's

1020
00:47:39,120 --> 00:47:41,040
Speaker 2: gonna do it for the show. Appreciate Mark to my

1021
00:47:41,160 --> 00:47:43,279
Speaker 2: man Fletch, to all you for listening. We'll see next

1022
00:47:43,320 --> 00:47:44,800
Speaker 2: time and as always, go Texans.
