00:00:18,280 --> 00:00:21,800
Speaker 1: of hours right here on Texans Radio from our good

6
00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:24,319
Speaker 1: friends at Sports Radio six to ten. It's game week,

7
00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:27,760
Speaker 1: and you know it from a radio standpoint because last

8
00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:30,639
Speaker 1: night we had Players show. Oh there's no players because

9
00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:33,479
Speaker 1: they're getting ready for the game this week, but we

10
00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:36,199
Speaker 1: will have players. But had Trap j last night, Traps Johnson.

11
00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:39,040
Speaker 1: Then you had All Access. Then you had Replay, which

12
00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:40,640
Speaker 1: I did, which was a very fun show to do,

13
00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:43,160
Speaker 1: and hopefully you're listening to that, and if you didn't,

14
00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:45,040
Speaker 1: I believe we're gonna make a podcast out of that.

15
00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:47,919
Speaker 1: So you gotta check out Texans Replay. And then it

16
00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:52,159
Speaker 1: really kicks in tonight because it is two hours, so

17
00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:55,960
Speaker 1: it means more work for me. But as Ernie Johnson

18
00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:58,960
Speaker 1: told the University of Alabama, there are got two jobs,

19
00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:01,240
Speaker 1: and then there are get two jobs. I get to

20
00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:04,400
Speaker 1: do two hours of radio tonight. That's how I've always

21
00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:06,640
Speaker 1: looked at it, so I will look at it already

22
00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:09,319
Speaker 1: just put it in the perfect terms. So we have

23
00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:13,600
Speaker 1: got a lot to do. You are going to hear

Speaker 1: have got We're also gonna go behind enemy sidelines with

28
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:31,800
Speaker 1: JP Shatterick, who covers the Jags from Jags dot Com

29
00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:34,280
Speaker 1: and he's one of our great friends in the AC South,

30
00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:36,200
Speaker 1: just in the business, really in dpcit who had a

31
00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:40,319
Speaker 1: chance to dive deep into this one against Jacksonville. And

32
00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:41,880
Speaker 1: then we'll give you a little bit of in the

33
00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:45,240
Speaker 1: lab that Drew and I did this week talking about

34
00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:49,000
Speaker 1: any number of things in this particular matchup with the

35
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:55,400
Speaker 1: Jacksonville Jaguars. So it is the third time in five

36
00:01:55,520 --> 00:02:01,320
Speaker 1: years Jackson's Opener, Liberty White Opener is taking place against Jacksonville.

37
00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:07,080
Speaker 1: Twenty seventeen, not so good. Saxonville showed up in Gockway,

38
00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:13,160
Speaker 1: Klay's campbell, all of them. Jalen Ramsey just shut us down.

39
00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:16,120
Speaker 1: It was a bad, bad afternoon. It was the first

40
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:18,480
Speaker 1: game back in Energy Stadium after Hurricane Harvey. A lot

41
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:21,840
Speaker 1: of emotion in the building that day, got thumped twenty nineteen,

42
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:24,840
Speaker 1: came back here favored to knock off a team that

43
00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:28,080
Speaker 1: featured a rookie a quarterback and Gardner Minshew offense laden

44
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:31,200
Speaker 1: egg defense stayed strong until the fourth quarter, and then

45
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:34,040
Speaker 1: Justin Reid came up big with a stop at the

46
00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:37,119
Speaker 1: goal line to Leonard Fournette. Four Texans thirteen to twelve wins.

47
00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:40,440
Speaker 1: So in the last five years, those two split one

48
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:45,880
Speaker 1: and one, and Sunday it will be Jags Texans, both

49
00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:49,120
Speaker 1: teams openers, Texans home opener. Like I said, for the

50
00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:53,520
Speaker 1: third time in five years against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Now,

51
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:56,080
Speaker 1: as I said, there's a lot to get into from

52
00:02:56,120 --> 00:03:01,280
Speaker 1: this particular game, and we're going to we gotta get

53
00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:03,720
Speaker 1: into some news. So let's get to our hot reads

54
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:06,640
Speaker 1: presented to you by Geico, and when we get into

55
00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:10,760
Speaker 1: game week. Man, there's a lot of things happening, especially

56
00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:16,040
Speaker 1: with what we've had going on here with this team,

57
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:20,400
Speaker 1: all the different moving parts all Pete. You know, it

58
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:22,960
Speaker 1: happens all across the league. Don't get me wrong. Players

59
00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:25,240
Speaker 1: are hurt. Got this guy you're bringing in, You're putting

60
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:27,919
Speaker 1: this guy in the practice squad. And what's unique is

61
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:31,000
Speaker 1: you can put veterans on the practice squad. And because

62
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:32,320
Speaker 1: of that, it's like, wait a second, is that guy

63
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:33,960
Speaker 1: to go to the practice squad? Did you go to

64
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:39,160
Speaker 1: the official roster? Oh man, It's hard to follow all

65
00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:42,840
Speaker 1: that's really going on, but I will try in this

66
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:47,320
Speaker 1: first hot read to kind of encapsulate the last couple

67
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:50,400
Speaker 1: of days and update you as well as I possibly can.

68
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:56,520
Speaker 1: So let's go back to Tuesday. The official transaction came

69
00:03:56,520 --> 00:04:01,160
Speaker 1: out that the Texans had sign I'm the following player

70
00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:06,160
Speaker 1: to the practice squad kicker Joey Slide. Now have you

71
00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:09,080
Speaker 1: seen Slide? You know that when he stands next to

72
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:11,320
Speaker 1: camp Johnson, those two are going to have a bicep

73
00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:13,880
Speaker 1: comparison contest that it's gonna be closed. Those dudes are

74
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:18,440
Speaker 1: yoked for putter and kicker yoked. Nobody will have putters

75
00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:21,920
Speaker 1: and kickers that look like those two. Now I bring

76
00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:25,919
Speaker 1: that up and say, Joey slides the kicker, Well, we

77
00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:29,760
Speaker 1: don't know that for a fact, but there was a

78
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:31,919
Speaker 1: transaction went out today. We'll get that in the second.

79
00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:36,719
Speaker 1: But the corresponding transaction was that Coroner Armstrong was waived

80
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:40,400
Speaker 1: by the team for fourth year man out of Southern

81
00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:43,440
Speaker 1: miss He is waved from the team. So that then

82
00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:49,520
Speaker 1: leads you to today and today's transaction. Now, not all

83
00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:54,400
Speaker 1: of these transactions have been announced. The official transaction list

84
00:04:54,480 --> 00:05:01,080
Speaker 1: came out from the team and it looked like this.

85
00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:04,760
Speaker 1: Let's see, there were a number of different transactions. There

86
00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:07,200
Speaker 1: we go here, not the right one here number one.

87
00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:11,400
Speaker 1: The Texans signed the following free agent, going straight to

88
00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:14,360
Speaker 1: the fifty three man roster, and he will wear a

89
00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:17,520
Speaker 1: number eighty nine. And this is where kind of the

90
00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:21,040
Speaker 1: numbers all sort of merged together in preseason Taiwan Taylor

91
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:23,720
Speaker 1: weren number eighty nine. Well, now it's gonna be the

92
00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:32,799
Speaker 1: Woodlands own Danny Amondola joins this squad. I like this signing.

93
00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:35,040
Speaker 1: I'll be honest. I was pretty excited to see him

94
00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:36,880
Speaker 1: come in. He's been around the league for a long time.

95
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:40,400
Speaker 1: This is thirteenth year he's undrafted Texas Tech and just

96
00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:45,800
Speaker 1: may willed himself into a player. And yes, the Woodlands

97
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:49,280
Speaker 1: not I wouldn't say it's Houston, but it's the greater

98
00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:51,920
Speaker 1: Houston area. It counts. Now you go a little bit

99
00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:56,760
Speaker 1: north of that. Conros really pushing it once you get

100
00:05:56,760 --> 00:06:01,040
Speaker 1: beyond Conrad, you forget it either way. Dany amondolaxon two

101
00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:05,640
Speaker 1: to fifty three man roster. Now, there was a lot

102
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:09,240
Speaker 1: of talk after the cuts were made about well Man,

103
00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:12,120
Speaker 1: they got five wide receivers. One of them is a

104
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:15,400
Speaker 1: returner and he's been banged up, Andre Roberts. One of

105
00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:18,120
Speaker 1: them is Anthony Miller, who was hurt in the Green

106
00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:23,359
Speaker 1: Bay preseason game. Holy cow, They've got Brandon Cooks, Nico Collins,

107
00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:27,599
Speaker 1: and who am I forgetting? Oh, Chris Conley. That's it.

108
00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:31,320
Speaker 1: So Nicossario was asked many times what you can do

109
00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:35,520
Speaker 1: about the receivers. Well, dany A Mandola joins the fifty

110
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:39,560
Speaker 1: three man roster. Let me go back to that point

111
00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:44,560
Speaker 1: about Joey Slide being added to the practice squad. Because

112
00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:47,440
Speaker 1: of this note, the Texans of place the following player

113
00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:52,320
Speaker 1: on the reserve slashed injured list. That's Kymie Fairbarn. Now

114
00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:57,840
Speaker 1: that's three weeks minimum. What are you gonna do. Well,

115
00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:00,680
Speaker 1: you went out and signed Joey Slide to the practice squad.

116
00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:02,719
Speaker 1: My guess is there will be a transaction over the

117
00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:06,440
Speaker 1: next couple of days that moves Joey Slye to the

118
00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:10,400
Speaker 1: fifty three man roster because Kaymie Fairbaron has moved to

119
00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:14,640
Speaker 1: the I r SO Saturday night against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

120
00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:19,080
Speaker 1: What they thought was maybe a minor injury. And look, well,

121
00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:21,440
Speaker 1: I'll say something I saw on Twitter which I thought

122
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:24,520
Speaker 1: was pretty interesting. Ask a player, There's no such thing

123
00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:26,760
Speaker 1: as a minor injury. I remember when I have my

124
00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:30,560
Speaker 1: back surgery back in November, and I remember doctor Pissar

125
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:33,600
Speaker 1: and saying, now, it's a minor surgery. I'm like, bro,

126
00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:36,200
Speaker 1: you're putting me to sleep and cutting open in my back.

127
00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:40,600
Speaker 1: That's not minor surgery. So who knows what the injury

128
00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:42,960
Speaker 1: is with kind of Fairbaran, but it is putting him

129
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:47,680
Speaker 1: on the reserve slash injured list. Joey Sly will seemingly

130
00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:51,360
Speaker 1: step in, but it does go to show and give

131
00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:54,320
Speaker 1: the reason the reasoning why Joey Slide was added to

132
00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:57,600
Speaker 1: the practice squad. Maybe that with Kymie was a little

133
00:07:57,600 --> 00:08:02,040
Speaker 1: bit worse than maybe they originally thought. Here's the other aspect,

134
00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:03,560
Speaker 1: play game on the twelve to play game in the

135
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:07,400
Speaker 1: nineteenth to play game out of twenty third. So if

136
00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:09,200
Speaker 1: he wasn't gonna be able to play this week, and

137
00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:10,920
Speaker 1: he probably weren't gonna be able to get into the

138
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:12,760
Speaker 1: nineteenth and then you have that short week because you

139
00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:15,240
Speaker 1: have the Panthers coming in week three. So put him in.

140
00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:19,080
Speaker 1: Ir Joyce sly more than likely going to be a kicker.

141
00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:20,680
Speaker 1: We'll see if he kicks off. Justin Reed does a

142
00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:25,720
Speaker 1: pretty good job and he covers kicks. Third note in

143
00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:33,959
Speaker 1: the transactions kravon LeBlanc, although I'm sure it's Crav defensive

144
00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:36,320
Speaker 1: back out of FAU. I remember studying him a number

145
00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:39,320
Speaker 1: of years ago coming into the draft. He was drafted

146
00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:42,480
Speaker 1: by the Eagles, I believe in twenty eighteen as a

147
00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:44,959
Speaker 1: slot corner. He's a little bit bigger than that, but

148
00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:47,080
Speaker 1: he played some slot corner. It's funny because we were

149
00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:53,040
Speaker 1: watching practice today and this transaction came down probably two

150
00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:56,960
Speaker 1: three hours ago, I guess. And so I didn't know this,

151
00:08:57,000 --> 00:08:58,439
Speaker 1: but I looked out there and I was like, man,

152
00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:02,200
Speaker 1: who thirty thirty for it? Oh that's crack. I just

153
00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:06,480
Speaker 1: recognized him. Didn't need the roster. Caravan le Blanc to

154
00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:11,360
Speaker 1: the practice squad, which means there had to be a

155
00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:15,120
Speaker 1: removal from the practice squad, and unfortunately, Hardy Nickerson Junior

156
00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:18,720
Speaker 1: released from the practice squad. So those are your ins

157
00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:21,280
Speaker 1: and outs the last couple of days. As it pertains,

158
00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:27,920
Speaker 1: two transactions. Now, there are two other transactions that seemingly

159
00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:34,040
Speaker 1: have occurred. Now we have not gotten full details on

160
00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:39,760
Speaker 1: these transactions, so this has been rumored. We don't know

161
00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:43,640
Speaker 1: on one of them what the We don't know what

162
00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:46,000
Speaker 1: the flip side of it is. And I'll get to

163
00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:50,040
Speaker 1: that a second. So we do know that Bradley Roby

164
00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:53,800
Speaker 1: has been traded to the New Orleans Saints. Now what

165
00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:57,880
Speaker 1: the Texans got in return? Waiting to see. But Bradley

166
00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:01,040
Speaker 1: Roby goes to the New Orleans and Saints. The Saints

167
00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:06,480
Speaker 1: desperate need for corners at Marshawn Lattimore and nothing else.

168
00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:11,840
Speaker 1: So Bradley Roby becomes a New Orleans Saint. And I've

169
00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:14,720
Speaker 1: heard a lot of different thoughts on this and why

170
00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:17,280
Speaker 1: would you do this? Now? What's going on? Look, sometimes

171
00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:19,880
Speaker 1: a team calls you and says, hey, I got a

172
00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:22,800
Speaker 1: deal you can't refuse. I mean, so godfather thing, I'll

173
00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:25,480
Speaker 1: make him a deal he can't refuse. Well, maybe they

174
00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:27,360
Speaker 1: got a deal like that from the New Orleans Saints.

175
00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:33,400
Speaker 1: Maybe maybe that was a situation. But either way, both

176
00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:36,320
Speaker 1: teams agreed. Bradley Robie's going to the New Orleans Saints.

177
00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:38,400
Speaker 1: Now you won't play in Week one, but be ready

178
00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:40,240
Speaker 1: to go week two. And then obviously was going to

179
00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:45,600
Speaker 1: be the case here with the Houston Texans, so that

180
00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:49,120
Speaker 1: takes place also. And this I think was last night.

181
00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:54,360
Speaker 1: I saw this sources saying that Jimmy Morland, formerly of

182
00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:59,000
Speaker 1: the Washington football team, has been claimed on waivers by

183
00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:01,600
Speaker 1: the Texans. I don't know if I haven't seen that

184
00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:07,440
Speaker 1: made official, but I saw him at practice, so that

185
00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:10,400
Speaker 1: seemingly as official as it gets. And it was pretty

186
00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:15,080
Speaker 1: much reported everywhere. This man is fig Steep plays a

187
00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:19,160
Speaker 1: lot inside. And I think what you've seen and what

188
00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:22,000
Speaker 1: we've seen over the last I don't know how many

189
00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:28,240
Speaker 1: how many weeks, probably since Keian Crossing was traded, we've

190
00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:31,400
Speaker 1: seen a lot of movement in that defensive backfield. Russell Will,

191
00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:36,920
Speaker 1: Douglas Holman were brought in, they moved on, Jimmy Moreland

192
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:40,880
Speaker 1: comes in, Bradley Roby moves out with the trade. If

193
00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:43,040
Speaker 1: you got Antonio Phillips on the practice squad, I mean

194
00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:45,800
Speaker 1: you've got a lot of things happening at that corner position.

195
00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:49,320
Speaker 1: So I don't want to say, it's anybody's guess as

196
00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:52,600
Speaker 1: to what's going to happen there on Sunday. I would

197
00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:56,320
Speaker 1: imagine Terrence Mitchell will hold on one side. I don't

198
00:11:56,320 --> 00:11:59,000
Speaker 1: know about the other. My guests would be Vernon Hargraves.

199
00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:01,920
Speaker 1: If I were a betting man, which I'm not, that

200
00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:04,640
Speaker 1: would probably be the way that I would think about it.

201
00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:08,880
Speaker 1: But we'll see if some other defensive backs get involved

202
00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:12,079
Speaker 1: at that corner position. In all offseason, we've been saying, well,

203
00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:13,280
Speaker 1: you know, what are you gonna do week one, because

204
00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:14,840
Speaker 1: you know a week two you get Robie back. Well,

205
00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:18,240
Speaker 1: not getting Robie back, as he'll be playing with the

206
00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:22,640
Speaker 1: New Orleans Saints. He joins fellow Ohio State Buckeyes Malcolm

207
00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:26,800
Speaker 1: Jenkins Marshawn Lattimore in that Saint secondary and that's gonna

208
00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:30,080
Speaker 1: help the Saints tremendously. That if that team had an

209
00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:34,199
Speaker 1: Achilles heel it was at that corner position. They get

210
00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:37,560
Speaker 1: a pretty good player and Bradley Roby going there and

211
00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:39,760
Speaker 1: take care of that. So we'll see what the Texans

212
00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:43,400
Speaker 1: end up getting in return. But a lot of transactions

213
00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:48,040
Speaker 1: as we head into Week one. A Mandola fifty three

214
00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:53,080
Speaker 1: man roster Fairbaron I r Caravan LeBlanc to the practice squad,

215
00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:57,200
Speaker 1: Joey Slide to the practice squad, more than likely going

216
00:12:57,559 --> 00:13:00,200
Speaker 1: to the fifty three man roster, Jimmy Morland to the

217
00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:03,280
Speaker 1: fifty three man roster, Bradley Roby traded. I hope I

218
00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:07,360
Speaker 1: got all that, and unfortunately Hardy Nickerson and Corner Armstrong

219
00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:11,240
Speaker 1: released from the roster and the practice squad. I hope

220
00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:12,880
Speaker 1: I got it all in all right, let's go to

221
00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:16,240
Speaker 1: our second hot read. As we get into game week,

222
00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:21,439
Speaker 1: we get to see the injury report, and of course

223
00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:26,880
Speaker 1: every week we're gonna see the same thing in DNP.

224
00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:32,040
Speaker 1: Shaun Watson listed as a DNP. It says not injury related,

225
00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:35,840
Speaker 1: kind of all know the situation. I think from now on,

226
00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:38,360
Speaker 1: I'll just make a rule that I'm not gonna consider

227
00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:42,920
Speaker 1: his name until he actually plays or does something comes

228
00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:45,280
Speaker 1: off that but he will not and that's our rule.

229
00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:47,240
Speaker 1: I just won't discuss it from here on out because

230
00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:49,280
Speaker 1: that's where he's gonna be from here on out. I

231
00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:51,520
Speaker 1: would imagine for the rest of the year one other DNP,

232
00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:56,560
Speaker 1: and this one also impacting the secondary, and that is

233
00:13:56,640 --> 00:14:01,079
Speaker 1: Lonnie Johnson and Lonnie's deal with thigh issue. He did

234
00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:06,000
Speaker 1: not participate today, and that's a guy that the Texas

235
00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:09,320
Speaker 1: have been looking at thinking we've got to have him

236
00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:12,880
Speaker 1: this year. He's got to be a guy that makes

237
00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:16,560
Speaker 1: makes place for this defense as he did in the preseason.

238
00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:21,280
Speaker 1: But he did not participate. Hopefully thinks change from Thursday

239
00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:25,240
Speaker 1: and Friday and we get ready for sout excuse me,

240
00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:32,920
Speaker 1: Sunday against the Jaguars. The limited participants Malik Collins, Whitney Merciless,

241
00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:36,600
Speaker 1: and Kevin Pierre Lewis Malik dealing with a knee, Whitney

242
00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:41,200
Speaker 1: and KPL both dealing with thighs. They were limited participants

243
00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:47,000
Speaker 1: at practice, and I've tried to understand what limited participation

244
00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:49,560
Speaker 1: means at practice, and I don't know that I ever

245
00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:52,440
Speaker 1: got a full and complete answer, to be honest, it

246
00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:56,480
Speaker 1: can be well, they did everything but these couple of drills.

247
00:14:56,640 --> 00:14:58,720
Speaker 1: It could be well, they showed up to do these

248
00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:00,800
Speaker 1: drills and then there were for the rest of I

249
00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:03,400
Speaker 1: don't know what limited participation actually means, to be honest,

250
00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:06,760
Speaker 1: It's just that keep an eye on it. As we

251
00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:11,160
Speaker 1: moved towards Sunday, hopefully moved from limited to full participants

252
00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:15,560
Speaker 1: for the Jags. It was two defensive backs, a DNP

253
00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:18,360
Speaker 1: Trey Herndon. I heard Irban Myers dealing with the issue.

254
00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:21,280
Speaker 1: Irban Meyer was talking about him the other day, saying

255
00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:24,760
Speaker 1: more than likely Trey Herndon was not going to play

256
00:15:25,280 --> 00:15:28,880
Speaker 1: in this game against the Texans, so that more than

257
00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:32,160
Speaker 1: likely put Shaquille Griffin and c. J. Henderson as the

258
00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:36,240
Speaker 1: starting corners. The good news for Jacksonville, if there is

259
00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:39,760
Speaker 1: some in the situation, is that rookie Tyson Campbell was

260
00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:43,640
Speaker 1: a limited participant in practice dealing with a calf. I

261
00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:46,000
Speaker 1: would imagine they drafted him in the second round with

262
00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:49,800
Speaker 1: thoughts that he's gonna play sooner than later. He's back,

263
00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:53,160
Speaker 1: at least in the limited capacity for the Jags. But

264
00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:55,840
Speaker 1: a DNP of Trey Herndon more than likely not going

265
00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:59,920
Speaker 1: to play on Sunday, per Rban Meyer and then tasting

266
00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:02,560
Speaker 1: Campbell back as a limited participant, and there is a

267
00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:07,280
Speaker 1: chance that he is going to be ready to go

268
00:16:07,360 --> 00:16:10,600
Speaker 1: on Sunday. We'll see what Tyson Campbell's able to do,

269
00:16:10,760 --> 00:16:17,560
Speaker 1: but the corner position is definitely in flux on both

270
00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:21,040
Speaker 1: sides as we head into this one. Okay, let's get

271
00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:23,720
Speaker 1: to our final hot read. And that is going to

272
00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:29,800
Speaker 1: be a little bit of Coach Kelly audio juke box.

273
00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:32,320
Speaker 1: That's right, Coach Cully, we're gonna hear our one on

274
00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:35,800
Speaker 1: one exclusively that we did with Coach Kelly. But he

275
00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:40,720
Speaker 1: was at the podium today and he was asked. He

276
00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:44,480
Speaker 1: was asked about Danny Amondola joining the squad, and he

277
00:16:44,520 --> 00:16:49,560
Speaker 1: brought up something that I I forgot about because Amndola

278
00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:51,440
Speaker 1: has been around, and of course Coach Cully has been

279
00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:54,240
Speaker 1: in some different places. They've actually been in the same

280
00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:57,920
Speaker 1: building before. He's coach talking about adding Danny Amondola. Danny's

281
00:16:57,960 --> 00:17:00,280
Speaker 1: been a quality player in this league for a long time.

282
00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:04,000
Speaker 1: I happen to have Danny back in Philadelphia when a

283
00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:07,119
Speaker 1: while back I know what he's all about. He fits

284
00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:10,160
Speaker 1: the mold. We've had Anthony Miller, who's been our slot guy.

285
00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:13,000
Speaker 1: It's been hurt and basically we wanted to make sure

286
00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:14,640
Speaker 1: we had some depth and another guy to be able

287
00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:17,040
Speaker 1: to play that position if Anthony's not able to play,

288
00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:20,359
Speaker 1: and Danny fits that mode. Of course, as luck and

289
00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:25,399
Speaker 1: timing would have it, I would say announcement. But the

290
00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:28,359
Speaker 1: news breaking on Twitter about Bradley Roby being trader was

291
00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:31,199
Speaker 1: kind of right around the time that coach was heading

292
00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:34,440
Speaker 1: to the podium, So that was something obviously people want

293
00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:37,840
Speaker 1: to talk about and wanted to know, Well, coach, what

294
00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:40,800
Speaker 1: are you gonna do without Roby in that secondary Bradley

295
00:17:40,880 --> 00:17:43,880
Speaker 1: was not going to play this game anyway. So basically,

296
00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:46,119
Speaker 1: the guys that we're playing with right now are the

297
00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:48,359
Speaker 1: guys that we're gone with. We're comfortable with those guys,

298
00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:51,840
Speaker 1: and basically we've been gone with those guys all training

299
00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:55,120
Speaker 1: camp and we feel comfortable with that. And then we've

300
00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:58,080
Speaker 1: brought in some other guys that hopefully that will give

301
00:17:58,160 --> 00:18:00,480
Speaker 1: us some depth that death position. Also, of course, the

302
00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:04,600
Speaker 1: moves of Jimmy Moreland being claimed on waivers, adding Cravaan

303
00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:07,600
Speaker 1: LeBlanc to the practice squad, Antony of Phillips from Ball

304
00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:09,480
Speaker 1: State it was added to the practice squad. So they've

305
00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:11,879
Speaker 1: added a few bodies at corner. We'll see how it

306
00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:15,439
Speaker 1: impacts the fifty three man roster going forward. But as

307
00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:17,359
Speaker 1: coach said, you weren't gonna have Robey in this game anyway.

308
00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:19,880
Speaker 1: So as far as the plant for this game goes,

309
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:23,680
Speaker 1: they were already working with the thought that he wasn't

310
00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:25,680
Speaker 1: going to be there, so They've already had that kind

311
00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:27,520
Speaker 1: of in their brains and now they just got to

312
00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:30,520
Speaker 1: put that plan in place for the following seventeen weeks.

313
00:18:30,560 --> 00:18:36,720
Speaker 1: After Week one, okay, of course there is a matchup

314
00:18:36,840 --> 00:18:42,440
Speaker 1: on Sunday of two coaches that have never been head

315
00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:46,879
Speaker 1: coaches in the NFL, and that would be David Culley

316
00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:51,680
Speaker 1: and of course Urban Meyer. Here's coach talking about that

317
00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:54,720
Speaker 1: relationship with Yer. I mean, obviously, he's been one of

318
00:18:54,760 --> 00:18:56,800
Speaker 1: the best coaches in the history of college football three

319
00:18:56,880 --> 00:19:00,440
Speaker 1: his career. I've kind of followed him through his career

320
00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:04,320
Speaker 1: from when he first started, even back in Bowling Green

321
00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:07,840
Speaker 1: and back in Utah and happened to spend four years

322
00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:10,640
Speaker 1: with one of his players, Alex Smith in Kansas City,

323
00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:13,160
Speaker 1: and I know the kind of coach he is, and uh,

324
00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:16,399
Speaker 1: got a lot of respect for him. And again, you know,

325
00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:18,840
Speaker 1: he went about it his way, and you know the

326
00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:21,320
Speaker 1: way it went went from me was completely different from him.

327
00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:24,359
Speaker 1: But we're both here and uh, I'm hoping to go

328
00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:27,600
Speaker 1: out and you know, whip his butt this week, me too, Coach,

329
00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:32,800
Speaker 1: Hope you get that w over Urban Meyer. Now they

330
00:19:33,320 --> 00:19:38,840
Speaker 1: met way way way back he was at UTEP Coach

331
00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:42,400
Speaker 1: Color was at Utah. Burban Meyer was at Colorado State,

332
00:19:43,080 --> 00:19:44,960
Speaker 1: and he had a little kind of back and forth

333
00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:49,040
Speaker 1: not a bad way, but back and forth with Christie Reikin,

334
00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:53,600
Speaker 1: who asked him if he remembered that matchup. I've never

335
00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:58,440
Speaker 1: really uh coached against him per se in college, but

336
00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:01,919
Speaker 1: it's just the fact that when he was coaching in college,

337
00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:04,119
Speaker 1: I happened to to be a part of a staff

338
00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:06,680
Speaker 1: that had one of his players, Alex Smith, who when

339
00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:08,760
Speaker 1: he was there. But I do know about him. I

340
00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:10,720
Speaker 1: do know about As a matter of fact, I know

341
00:20:10,840 --> 00:20:12,399
Speaker 1: some of our players on our team would get mad

342
00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:15,239
Speaker 1: him at this, but especially the Michigan guys. But I've

343
00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:18,800
Speaker 1: kind of been an Ohaluse State fan for going way back. Well, yes,

344
00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:21,080
Speaker 1: there was a game in nineteen ninety when you were

345
00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:25,840
Speaker 1: a Utah I don't remember that. That's a way, that's

346
00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:29,080
Speaker 1: way way back. But uh, I do remember being at Utah,

347
00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:31,399
Speaker 1: and I know it was a long time ago, but

348
00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:34,320
Speaker 1: I do not remember it. I'm trying to think, I'm not.

349
00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:36,800
Speaker 1: I can't remember if we won or we lost. Uh

350
00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:41,960
Speaker 1: he won. Okay, He's won a whole bunch, so that's

351
00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:47,960
Speaker 1: not surprising, y'all. Far ago? How long ago nineteen ninety years.

352
00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:50,879
Speaker 1: That was my freshman yor in college. I'm playing at Brown.

353
00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:55,479
Speaker 1: That's the last time that Urban Meyer and David Culley

354
00:20:56,040 --> 00:21:00,360
Speaker 1: met on a football field, taking one another on tap

355
00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:04,240
Speaker 1: V Colorado State. So yeah, man, that's a long that's

356
00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:07,080
Speaker 1: a long time ago. Man was a thirty one years. Man,

357
00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:09,920
Speaker 1: it feels like it feels like fifty at the same

358
00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:14,920
Speaker 1: time it feels like five. Oh man. This final one

359
00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:18,359
Speaker 1: made me laugh. And here's why it made me laugh

360
00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:22,240
Speaker 1: because I go on the social media's I know it's

361
00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:24,720
Speaker 1: social media, and I go on Twitter and I see

362
00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:32,359
Speaker 1: people talking about unofficial depth charts, and I want to

363
00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:36,879
Speaker 1: puke in all honesty, because first of all, those things

364
00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:39,800
Speaker 1: are not put together by the by the coaching staff.

365
00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:43,960
Speaker 1: A lot of times it's our buddy Omar from pr

366
00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:48,800
Speaker 1: Obar Maju puts it together. Sometimes he does it, you know,

367
00:21:48,840 --> 00:21:51,680
Speaker 1: almost blindly in some cases, and sometimes he just does

368
00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:56,959
Speaker 1: it by seniority. He just throws it together. Now, Omar

369
00:21:56,960 --> 00:21:58,760
Speaker 1: has a pretty good idea about who's gonna start, who's

370
00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:03,520
Speaker 1: gonna play, all that, but that unofficial depth chart becomes

371
00:22:04,080 --> 00:22:06,760
Speaker 1: such a talked about thing, and I'm like, oh my god,

372
00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:09,160
Speaker 1: if I hear them talking. This happened a lot with Colney's.

373
00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:12,200
Speaker 1: Colney add, oh my god, sus I'm like, I would

374
00:22:12,280 --> 00:22:15,560
Speaker 1: lose my mind. Well, Coach Cully kind of shot the

375
00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:19,760
Speaker 1: unofficial depth chart right in the face talking about Charles

376
00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:25,280
Speaker 1: A mena, who take a listen to this. You know

377
00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:27,600
Speaker 1: that depth chart, I guess basically is a depth chart

378
00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:31,120
Speaker 1: that came out of our our media thing. That depth

379
00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:33,040
Speaker 1: chart basically is not I guess what I would call

380
00:22:33,080 --> 00:22:35,440
Speaker 1: an update. I know this Charles Manny, who will be

381
00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:37,399
Speaker 1: playing in this ball game, will be playing a bunch.

382
00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:39,520
Speaker 1: I don't think that's a I don't think that's a

383
00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:45,040
Speaker 1: big deal. It's been excellent. I'm very happy with where

384
00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:48,080
Speaker 1: Charles has been. Plus that whole defensive line. You know,

385
00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:50,400
Speaker 1: there's there's eight or nine guys right there that will

386
00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:53,760
Speaker 1: play in this ball game. So essentially, Coach Cully said

387
00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:55,920
Speaker 1: what I've been trying to say for a lot of years,

388
00:22:55,960 --> 00:22:57,720
Speaker 1: and that is, if you're looking at the official depth

389
00:22:57,800 --> 00:23:00,320
Speaker 1: chart trying to learn anything. And my man Mike running

390
00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:02,320
Speaker 1: from PFF looked at one I was like, the Texans

391
00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:04,280
Speaker 1: don't have a rookie starting on their depth chart. I'm like,

392
00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:07,240
Speaker 1: oh my God, Mike, you're way too smart for this nonsense,

393
00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:11,800
Speaker 1: way too smart for this. Those unofficial depth charts mean

394
00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:14,159
Speaker 1: about as much as the gum on the bottom of

395
00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:18,199
Speaker 1: my shoe. Don't buy into that. You have no idea

396
00:23:18,280 --> 00:23:21,000
Speaker 1: who's gonna start playing it, and it changes from week

397
00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:24,680
Speaker 1: to week. It's HOOI how about that. I don't know

398
00:23:24,680 --> 00:23:27,159
Speaker 1: if that's a word, but we're gonna use it for that,

399
00:23:27,359 --> 00:23:31,520
Speaker 1: all right. Coming up on the other side, GM, Nick

400
00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:34,760
Speaker 1: Casserio sat down with Mark and I. We talked about

401
00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:39,720
Speaker 1: this situation on Sunday gets the Jaguars. His thoughts going

402
00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:41,600
Speaker 1: into Game one is a GM A lot of that

403
00:23:41,840 --> 00:23:44,399
Speaker 1: exclusive one on one with Nick Cassario. Next right here

404
00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:51,359
Speaker 1: on Texans Radio, coming back to this Wednesday edition of

405
00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:55,280
Speaker 1: Texans All Access from Monday Texans Radio Studio. I'm your host,

406
00:23:55,640 --> 00:23:58,200
Speaker 1: Sehn Harris foot Bay, all silent reporter and lucky enough

407
00:23:58,240 --> 00:24:01,240
Speaker 1: to spend the time with Mark Banner Mirror this week

408
00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:07,480
Speaker 1: talking to the GM of your Houston Texans, Nick Cassio, Mark,

409
00:24:07,560 --> 00:24:10,639
Speaker 1: Take it Away. Texans General Manager Nick Kisario joins us

410
00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:14,200
Speaker 1: now on Texans Radio. Nick, opening week, what's your level

411
00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:18,120
Speaker 1: of excitement anticipation for the opener. Great to be here.

412
00:24:18,359 --> 00:24:20,439
Speaker 1: All the above, I think all of us are excited

413
00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:23,600
Speaker 1: for the opportunity that's in front of us. Busy preparing

414
00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:25,560
Speaker 1: here this week, so there's a lot of this taking

415
00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:27,600
Speaker 1: place at this point. So there's a new opportunity for

416
00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:29,760
Speaker 1: us to kind of get started. So I think everybody's

417
00:24:29,760 --> 00:24:32,600
Speaker 1: excited for the opportunity go out there and play on

418
00:24:32,760 --> 00:24:35,120
Speaker 1: Sunday and try to put our best foot forward. Nick,

419
00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:37,040
Speaker 1: you have a you face a team with a new

420
00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:39,840
Speaker 1: head coach and a rookie quarterback. I imagine through the

421
00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:42,159
Speaker 1: draft process you maybe got to learn a little bit

422
00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:45,720
Speaker 1: about Trevor. But how does preparation change or become more

423
00:24:45,760 --> 00:24:48,120
Speaker 1: difficult because it's Week one, it's a new coach, all

424
00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:49,920
Speaker 1: the different things they could do. How tough does that

425
00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:52,600
Speaker 1: make game prep this week? Yeah, everything's new. Every everybody

426
00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:54,480
Speaker 1: in the league is going through that. So you go

427
00:24:54,600 --> 00:24:56,800
Speaker 1: through your evaluation, especially with the rookie players, you go

428
00:24:56,880 --> 00:24:58,840
Speaker 1: back to some of the things that you may have seen,

429
00:24:59,240 --> 00:25:02,320
Speaker 1: you know, earlier in their college draft process. So but

430
00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:04,960
Speaker 1: again that kind of goes by the wayside, and you know,

431
00:25:05,040 --> 00:25:07,960
Speaker 1: teams have played three games, say teams have done some

432
00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:09,920
Speaker 1: teams have done more than others, but for the most

433
00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:12,000
Speaker 1: part it's probably been very vanilla. So I think what

434
00:25:12,080 --> 00:25:13,960
Speaker 1: you try to do is just trust your foundation, trust

435
00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:16,200
Speaker 1: your fundamentals, and go out there and the game will

436
00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:18,760
Speaker 1: probably declare itself in the first two to three series.

437
00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:21,199
Speaker 1: So once you got to get an idea of how

438
00:25:21,280 --> 00:25:23,560
Speaker 1: they're playing a game while there's personnel group being whether

439
00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:25,960
Speaker 1: it's formation, kind of what they're doing defensively, same thing

440
00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:27,720
Speaker 1: on the other side of the ball with coach Collin

441
00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:31,439
Speaker 1: so comes from the Baltimore system, so you know, are

442
00:25:31,480 --> 00:25:32,920
Speaker 1: there going to be some elements that are similar to

443
00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:34,639
Speaker 1: Baltimore is gonna have his own spin on it. So

444
00:25:34,760 --> 00:25:36,520
Speaker 1: we're gonna have to We're gonna prepare the best we

445
00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:38,480
Speaker 1: can about how we think they're gonna play, and then

446
00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:40,640
Speaker 1: we're gonna get in a game. And typically the first

447
00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:43,240
Speaker 1: two to three series, whether it's week one or week

448
00:25:43,320 --> 00:25:45,119
Speaker 1: three or four, the game will start to declare a

449
00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:46,760
Speaker 1: little bit and then you kind of anchor in and

450
00:25:47,119 --> 00:25:48,960
Speaker 1: go through the rest of the game. I know, so

451
00:25:49,119 --> 00:25:51,320
Speaker 1: much of this is a collaborative effort. Now, what do

452
00:25:51,400 --> 00:25:53,440
Speaker 1: you make of the way that you've prepared for this

453
00:25:53,680 --> 00:25:56,480
Speaker 1: one with the three preseason games, and I guess a

454
00:25:56,560 --> 00:25:58,400
Speaker 1: lot of the league got the weekend off. You didn't

455
00:25:58,400 --> 00:26:01,600
Speaker 1: have that fourth preseason game, but a new development really

456
00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:03,720
Speaker 1: in the NFL to not have that fourth game and

457
00:26:03,800 --> 00:26:05,840
Speaker 1: have a little bit of extra time off maybe and

458
00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:08,840
Speaker 1: you get your roster set earlier than in the past. Yeah,

459
00:26:09,240 --> 00:26:11,280
Speaker 1: you probably took a pole around the league. I think

460
00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:14,800
Speaker 1: quite frankly, everybody liked the new structure and the new setup,

461
00:26:14,840 --> 00:26:16,840
Speaker 1: So it gave you an opportunity to kind of put

462
00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:19,439
Speaker 1: the team together, gave you some flexibility maybe the end

463
00:26:19,440 --> 00:26:21,400
Speaker 1: of the week to kind of tinker with some things,

464
00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:23,320
Speaker 1: and the players were going to be offered for three

465
00:26:23,359 --> 00:26:25,760
Speaker 1: to four days or whatever it was. So it's really

466
00:26:25,800 --> 00:26:29,159
Speaker 1: an opportunity for everybody kind of recalibrate personally speaking personally,

467
00:26:29,240 --> 00:26:31,840
Speaker 1: like that extra week or that extra period of time.

468
00:26:32,400 --> 00:26:35,440
Speaker 1: Hopefully he was beneficial and advantageous for all teams, and

469
00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:37,720
Speaker 1: I think everybody caught it, you know, probably took advantage

470
00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:41,920
Speaker 1: of it. Nick. Yesterday are on Monday, coach Cully talked

471
00:26:41,920 --> 00:26:44,840
Speaker 1: about Tyrod being the starter. What does he bring to

472
00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:47,560
Speaker 1: this offense, what does he bring this organization? Yeah, I

473
00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:50,879
Speaker 1: think from day one, he's been very steady, know has

474
00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:52,800
Speaker 1: a good reputation. He's going to the locker rooms right

475
00:26:52,800 --> 00:26:55,439
Speaker 1: with his teammates. So again, you know, there's a lot

476
00:26:55,440 --> 00:26:58,560
Speaker 1: of players I would say that fitting that category, including Tyrod,

477
00:26:58,640 --> 00:27:00,840
Speaker 1: that are on our team. So you know, the players

478
00:27:00,920 --> 00:27:02,600
Speaker 1: have come in, their attitudes have been good, they've been

479
00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:05,760
Speaker 1: very professional, they haven't had some varying levels of experience.

480
00:27:05,840 --> 00:27:08,200
Speaker 1: So again, you can rely on that to a certain point,

481
00:27:08,240 --> 00:27:09,359
Speaker 1: but ultimately you got to go out there and be

482
00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:11,760
Speaker 1: able to execute on Sunday. So that's what will be

483
00:27:11,800 --> 00:27:13,520
Speaker 1: the most important thing for our players to be able

484
00:27:13,520 --> 00:27:15,760
Speaker 1: to do. You brought a new players all over the place,

485
00:27:15,800 --> 00:27:17,680
Speaker 1: but let's focus on the offensive line for just a

486
00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:20,239
Speaker 1: moment here, Nick, and in your experience, does it take

487
00:27:20,240 --> 00:27:22,280
Speaker 1: a few weeks of the regular season to really get

488
00:27:22,280 --> 00:27:24,840
Speaker 1: an offensive line to gel because of the limited reps

489
00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:26,720
Speaker 1: in the preseason and you have guys who might be

490
00:27:26,800 --> 00:27:29,200
Speaker 1: playing who didn't play much or didn't practice much, or

491
00:27:29,400 --> 00:27:31,320
Speaker 1: however that works out. How do you see it. Yeah,

492
00:27:31,320 --> 00:27:32,920
Speaker 1: it's a good question. I mean, the game reps will

493
00:27:32,960 --> 00:27:35,320
Speaker 1: probably be the best reps because once you even after

494
00:27:35,400 --> 00:27:37,480
Speaker 1: the game, you know, typically you're going to practice once

495
00:27:37,480 --> 00:27:41,040
Speaker 1: a week in PAD, so relative to contact double teams.

496
00:27:41,280 --> 00:27:43,399
Speaker 1: You know, some of those fundamentals and techniques that can

497
00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:45,760
Speaker 1: into blocking and playing offensive line. It's the same thing

498
00:27:45,800 --> 00:27:47,480
Speaker 1: on the other side of the ball with the defensive lineman.

499
00:27:47,560 --> 00:27:50,280
Speaker 1: So again, the game reps, you're gonna get call at

500
00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:52,840
Speaker 1: sixty five seventy players roughly in the game. All right,

501
00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:55,160
Speaker 1: then you're gonna have one padded practice during the week.

502
00:27:55,240 --> 00:27:57,159
Speaker 1: But that's where you're able to develop. You're kind of

503
00:27:57,240 --> 00:27:59,159
Speaker 1: your foundation, your fundamentals. You have to rely on the

504
00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:02,000
Speaker 1: things that they've unto this point. And again we've talked

505
00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:04,200
Speaker 1: about this at various points of the offseason, you know,

506
00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:06,920
Speaker 1: training camps, training camp, and then really the first four

507
00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:09,639
Speaker 1: weeks of the season. You know, it's about collective and

508
00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:12,520
Speaker 1: individual improvement, both you know, as a position group and

509
00:28:12,600 --> 00:28:15,040
Speaker 1: as a team. So if you can make those improvements

510
00:28:15,080 --> 00:28:17,200
Speaker 1: as a team, then you know, once you get to

511
00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:19,439
Speaker 1: the end of September beginning October, kind of have an

512
00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:22,640
Speaker 1: idea of maybe where your team, you know, really is, Nick.

513
00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:24,200
Speaker 1: I want to go back to something you said a

514
00:28:24,240 --> 00:28:26,880
Speaker 1: little while ago, you talked about the game declaring itself.

515
00:28:27,800 --> 00:28:31,040
Speaker 1: I've heard different people talk about that or say that

516
00:28:31,280 --> 00:28:33,800
Speaker 1: what exactly does that mean? And how important is it

517
00:28:34,320 --> 00:28:36,760
Speaker 1: to kind of understand what the game is once it

518
00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:40,360
Speaker 1: does declare itself. Yeah, really, that the whole halftime adjustment thing,

519
00:28:40,400 --> 00:28:42,160
Speaker 1: I mean, that's kind of a farce, I mean, because

520
00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:45,040
Speaker 1: you really don't until halftime to make adjustments. So you

521
00:28:45,160 --> 00:28:47,440
Speaker 1: go into the game and you have a scouting report

522
00:28:47,480 --> 00:28:48,880
Speaker 1: and you have your game plant and say, Okay, this

523
00:28:48,920 --> 00:28:50,400
Speaker 1: is how we're going to play, and we think this

524
00:28:50,600 --> 00:28:53,360
Speaker 1: is how the opposing team will play. You might get

525
00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:55,120
Speaker 1: into the game and that it might be a different

526
00:28:55,160 --> 00:28:56,680
Speaker 1: person Maybe you thought it was going to be eleven

527
00:28:56,720 --> 00:28:58,240
Speaker 1: the NFP and more of a twelve team. Okay, so

528
00:28:58,320 --> 00:28:59,760
Speaker 1: then you got to go more to your twelve calls

529
00:28:59,800 --> 00:29:03,840
Speaker 1: on defense, right, and then offensively? Okay, if we put

530
00:29:03,920 --> 00:29:06,040
Speaker 1: Detroit out there, are they gonna play bass defense? Are

531
00:29:06,040 --> 00:29:07,880
Speaker 1: you gonna play nickel defense? All right? If they're gonna

532
00:29:07,920 --> 00:29:10,560
Speaker 1: play a certain personnel grouping, okay, so here we're gonna

533
00:29:10,560 --> 00:29:12,520
Speaker 1: go to this area on a call sheet. So that's

534
00:29:12,560 --> 00:29:14,560
Speaker 1: what it means by the game after the first couple

535
00:29:14,680 --> 00:29:17,320
Speaker 1: series typically declares itself, and really more in early down,

536
00:29:17,320 --> 00:29:19,240
Speaker 1: its third down is kind of its own entity because

537
00:29:19,280 --> 00:29:22,200
Speaker 1: you only have called roughly ten plays on third down,

538
00:29:22,280 --> 00:29:24,520
Speaker 1: you might get you know, ten to twelve plays in

539
00:29:24,560 --> 00:29:27,680
Speaker 1: a red area. So really the early part of the game,

540
00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:30,280
Speaker 1: after the first quarter, after a few series, you kind

541
00:29:30,320 --> 00:29:33,040
Speaker 1: of have an idea of the flow of how they're

542
00:29:33,080 --> 00:29:35,360
Speaker 1: gonna play. So then you go back and look at

543
00:29:35,400 --> 00:29:37,600
Speaker 1: how we're playing, and you know, it might be the

544
00:29:37,720 --> 00:29:39,280
Speaker 1: same as we thought, or it might be a little

545
00:29:39,280 --> 00:29:41,120
Speaker 1: bit something different. Maybe we don't have to change anything.

546
00:29:41,280 --> 00:29:44,000
Speaker 1: So that's how, you know, the early part of the game.

547
00:29:44,120 --> 00:29:46,000
Speaker 1: Typically again, it's not like wait until half time to

548
00:29:46,040 --> 00:29:47,680
Speaker 1: make adjustments, because the way at the half time to

549
00:29:47,720 --> 00:29:49,200
Speaker 1: kind of figure out what's going on the game, like,

550
00:29:49,320 --> 00:29:51,360
Speaker 1: you're probably gonna be I mean, that's the end of it,

551
00:29:51,800 --> 00:29:53,840
Speaker 1: all right, So what are you going to be doing

552
00:29:54,040 --> 00:29:55,760
Speaker 1: on game day? What can you tell us about your

553
00:29:55,920 --> 00:29:59,680
Speaker 1: role during the game? Nick, Yeah, I'll probably be in,

554
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:01,160
Speaker 1: you know, in the press box. I mean, look, I've

555
00:30:01,160 --> 00:30:03,440
Speaker 1: been in the press box for my twenty years in

556
00:30:03,480 --> 00:30:05,320
Speaker 1: the league, going on twenty one. I've been in the

557
00:30:05,440 --> 00:30:07,840
Speaker 1: press box for nineteen of them. So it's probably not

558
00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:09,640
Speaker 1: like sit up in the stands and just kind of

559
00:30:09,680 --> 00:30:12,040
Speaker 1: watch a game, you know, it's really just to kind

560
00:30:12,040 --> 00:30:14,080
Speaker 1: of be in a press box, just watch a game,

561
00:30:14,160 --> 00:30:16,320
Speaker 1: see the flow of the game. If there's an opportunity

562
00:30:16,360 --> 00:30:18,320
Speaker 1: in a way that I can assist in any capacity,

563
00:30:18,440 --> 00:30:20,600
Speaker 1: then that I'm there for our coaching staff. Again, going

564
00:30:20,640 --> 00:30:22,840
Speaker 1: back to the beginning, my goal and my job is

565
00:30:22,880 --> 00:30:24,480
Speaker 1: to kind of serve as many people in the building

566
00:30:24,480 --> 00:30:26,640
Speaker 1: as possible. I'll start with our coaching staff and players.

567
00:30:26,680 --> 00:30:28,280
Speaker 1: So if I can do that on game day and

568
00:30:28,360 --> 00:30:31,400
Speaker 1: provide some value, the great, you know. If not, miss

569
00:30:31,440 --> 00:30:34,320
Speaker 1: not going to insert myself into you know, situation. You know,

570
00:30:34,600 --> 00:30:37,000
Speaker 1: for no reason, can you remember the last time you

571
00:30:37,080 --> 00:30:41,280
Speaker 1: went to the game as just a fan not in

572
00:30:41,280 --> 00:30:44,440
Speaker 1: the NFL, No, not at all. I've been kind of

573
00:30:44,520 --> 00:30:47,880
Speaker 1: involved in you know, two thousand and one, so there's

574
00:30:47,920 --> 00:30:49,880
Speaker 1: not an opportunity to be a fan. I guess, wait,

575
00:30:50,360 --> 00:30:52,320
Speaker 1: what was the year that you weren't in the press box?

576
00:30:52,440 --> 00:30:54,960
Speaker 1: Was that when you were coaching receivers or No, we

577
00:30:55,080 --> 00:30:57,240
Speaker 1: had a year. I want to say it was oh eight,

578
00:30:57,400 --> 00:30:59,640
Speaker 1: just be kind of we were going through some transitions,

579
00:30:59,680 --> 00:31:01,920
Speaker 1: so kind of my role just kind of shifted a

580
00:31:01,960 --> 00:31:04,240
Speaker 1: little bit, and then the following year kind of went

581
00:31:04,280 --> 00:31:07,200
Speaker 1: back to something different. So it wasn't anything in particular,

582
00:31:07,240 --> 00:31:08,880
Speaker 1: It's just the way that kind of the year sorted

583
00:31:08,920 --> 00:31:12,960
Speaker 1: itself out. Well, you've played and you've coached. How hard

584
00:31:13,080 --> 00:31:16,240
Speaker 1: is it to let go? You're involved, obviously, but just

585
00:31:16,480 --> 00:31:21,200
Speaker 1: watch what you've helped develop unfold in real time during

586
00:31:21,240 --> 00:31:24,600
Speaker 1: a game. Yeah. I mean, look, you everybody's doing the

587
00:31:24,640 --> 00:31:27,160
Speaker 1: best that they can with whatever their job is. So again,

588
00:31:27,280 --> 00:31:30,040
Speaker 1: my job and my role was, you know, excited for

589
00:31:30,080 --> 00:31:32,520
Speaker 1: the opportunity and you know, again, like you've just taken

590
00:31:32,600 --> 00:31:33,840
Speaker 1: one day at a time, you're not going to get

591
00:31:33,920 --> 00:31:35,600
Speaker 1: I think the one thing from my perspective is just

592
00:31:35,640 --> 00:31:37,760
Speaker 1: trying to kind of stay even keel and consistent. Realize

593
00:31:37,760 --> 00:31:39,280
Speaker 1: there's going to be some ups and downs that we're

594
00:31:39,280 --> 00:31:41,200
Speaker 1: going to deal with, whether it's durning game, whether it's

595
00:31:41,240 --> 00:31:43,400
Speaker 1: after the game, whether it's during the season. So I

596
00:31:43,480 --> 00:31:45,360
Speaker 1: think that's the most important thing that I can provide

597
00:31:45,440 --> 00:31:47,680
Speaker 1: to arm group and organization is just day to day

598
00:31:47,720 --> 00:31:50,160
Speaker 1: consistency and just making sure that you know, we're gonna

599
00:31:50,200 --> 00:31:51,960
Speaker 1: look the NFL, You're gonna deal with adds and flows

600
00:31:51,960 --> 00:31:54,040
Speaker 1: and ups and downs, and that's okay, that's part of it.

601
00:31:54,760 --> 00:31:57,880
Speaker 1: Nick Jacksonville urban Meyer, I would imagine over the years

602
00:31:57,920 --> 00:31:59,560
Speaker 1: you've had some dealings with him. What are your thoughts

603
00:31:59,560 --> 00:32:01,200
Speaker 1: about him. I'm not taking you know, our first time

604
00:32:01,240 --> 00:32:03,600
Speaker 1: head coach. Different ball game than college, but what are

605
00:32:03,600 --> 00:32:05,800
Speaker 1: your thoughts about irban Meyer stepping in and lead them? Yeah,

606
00:32:06,040 --> 00:32:09,280
Speaker 1: he's a program builder wherever he's been, whether it's Bowling Green,

607
00:32:09,360 --> 00:32:11,880
Speaker 1: whether it's Utah, whether it's Florida, Ohio State. I mean,

608
00:32:12,040 --> 00:32:13,920
Speaker 1: you know, he's done a great job wherever he's been. So,

609
00:32:14,480 --> 00:32:16,400
Speaker 1: m you know, we have a big challenge in front

610
00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:17,840
Speaker 1: of us. Um, you know, they're trying to put a

611
00:32:17,920 --> 00:32:21,760
Speaker 1: program in places, as are we. So again, a lot

612
00:32:21,800 --> 00:32:23,600
Speaker 1: of respect for what Urban has done through the years.

613
00:32:23,640 --> 00:32:26,200
Speaker 1: I mean he's been very successful essentially everywhere he's been,

614
00:32:26,280 --> 00:32:28,400
Speaker 1: so I mean, hopefully he doesn't have too much success here.

615
00:32:28,480 --> 00:32:30,680
Speaker 1: You know, we're playing the Jaguars. But you know he's

616
00:32:30,720 --> 00:32:32,440
Speaker 1: put together good staff. They have a good team. So

617
00:32:32,520 --> 00:32:34,480
Speaker 1: it's a big challenge in front of us. But you know,

618
00:32:34,600 --> 00:32:36,400
Speaker 1: there's a challenge every week, and you know, we're excited

619
00:32:36,400 --> 00:32:38,120
Speaker 1: about what's in front of us. All right, what more

620
00:32:38,160 --> 00:32:41,680
Speaker 1: for you? The deployment of your staff, your whole squad,

621
00:32:41,920 --> 00:32:46,480
Speaker 1: scouting for draft possibilities, other NFL games, How does that go?

622
00:32:46,800 --> 00:32:48,840
Speaker 1: How do you manage all of that? Great question. So

623
00:32:48,960 --> 00:32:52,520
Speaker 1: we've actually had our college scouts out and about over

624
00:32:52,560 --> 00:32:55,000
Speaker 1: the last few weeks in training camps, and I think

625
00:32:55,000 --> 00:32:56,960
Speaker 1: a lot of them were essentially at a game all weekend,

626
00:32:57,080 --> 00:32:59,560
Speaker 1: you know, multiple players, So we're tracking what's going on

627
00:33:00,120 --> 00:33:02,960
Speaker 1: college front, and then we'll have somebody whoever our next

628
00:33:03,000 --> 00:33:05,920
Speaker 1: opponent is, we'll have an advanced scout there for that

629
00:33:06,120 --> 00:33:09,280
Speaker 1: game as part of our preparation. So you kind of

630
00:33:09,320 --> 00:33:11,800
Speaker 1: have two separate entities kind of working on their own domain,

631
00:33:12,080 --> 00:33:15,480
Speaker 1: but we're all collectively kind of working on something in

632
00:33:15,560 --> 00:33:18,760
Speaker 1: their respective area and moving towards I would say our

633
00:33:18,800 --> 00:33:22,240
Speaker 1: team development and player evaluation. I would say that college

634
00:33:22,320 --> 00:33:24,240
Speaker 1: you know, it's interesting. I think college football. I mean,

635
00:33:24,280 --> 00:33:25,880
Speaker 1: I'm sure you guys watch this weekend. There's a lot

636
00:33:25,920 --> 00:33:27,440
Speaker 1: of excitement. There was a lot of good games with

637
00:33:27,480 --> 00:33:29,440
Speaker 1: a lot of good players. So again, even though it's

638
00:33:29,440 --> 00:33:32,400
Speaker 1: August or September or whatever it is, you know, worth

639
00:33:32,440 --> 00:33:34,479
Speaker 1: the infantile stages, but it's going to be a big

640
00:33:34,560 --> 00:33:37,000
Speaker 1: part of what we're talking about in April, so it's

641
00:33:37,040 --> 00:33:39,000
Speaker 1: not like all the Sunday aprils here and as a draft,

642
00:33:39,320 --> 00:33:40,960
Speaker 1: let's get ready to go. There's so much that goes

643
00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:44,960
Speaker 1: into it. You mentioned the college football games this weekend,

644
00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:46,680
Speaker 1: and one thing that stood out with the fans and

645
00:33:46,800 --> 00:33:49,640
Speaker 1: fans being back. You've been in this building before, You've

646
00:33:49,680 --> 00:33:51,920
Speaker 1: heard this building pretty loud. How important to the fans

647
00:33:52,040 --> 00:33:55,320
Speaker 1: become in this building on Sunday it's Jacksonville and throughout

648
00:33:55,320 --> 00:33:57,760
Speaker 1: the twenty twenty one season. Yeah, I think everybody's looking

649
00:33:57,800 --> 00:33:59,640
Speaker 1: forward to being in the stadiums. I mean, even going

650
00:33:59,640 --> 00:34:01,600
Speaker 1: back to the Tampa Bay game. I mean it was

651
00:34:01,600 --> 00:34:03,560
Speaker 1: a preseason game, but I thought the atmosphere it was

652
00:34:03,600 --> 00:34:05,200
Speaker 1: pretty cool. I mean, there was you know, there's a

653
00:34:05,240 --> 00:34:07,000
Speaker 1: lot of people that were the stadium. They're excited, so

654
00:34:07,080 --> 00:34:09,839
Speaker 1: I'm sure they're you know, anxious and kind of anticipatory.

655
00:34:09,920 --> 00:34:12,040
Speaker 1: I'm trying to anticipate what's going to happen. But to

656
00:34:12,160 --> 00:34:14,080
Speaker 1: have fans, you know, out there in front of us,

657
00:34:14,120 --> 00:34:16,080
Speaker 1: I mean, look, our jobs go out there and try

658
00:34:16,120 --> 00:34:17,719
Speaker 1: to put the best product we can't out there for

659
00:34:17,800 --> 00:34:19,279
Speaker 1: the city Houston, and that's what we're gonna try to

660
00:34:19,320 --> 00:34:21,000
Speaker 1: do so again. But going back to the fans of

661
00:34:21,040 --> 00:34:22,880
Speaker 1: college football, I mean, the image from this weekend, it

662
00:34:22,880 --> 00:34:26,000
Speaker 1: probably stands out the most is the jump around Wisconsin.

663
00:34:26,320 --> 00:34:28,840
Speaker 1: You saw that that was pretty cool. But again, it

664
00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:31,160
Speaker 1: just goes to show you what sport can do and

665
00:34:31,239 --> 00:34:33,640
Speaker 1: the excitement that it brings and the joy that it brings.

666
00:34:33,719 --> 00:34:35,720
Speaker 1: And we're gonna go out there and try to provide

667
00:34:35,719 --> 00:34:37,440
Speaker 1: our fans some joy and give them something to be

668
00:34:37,760 --> 00:34:40,279
Speaker 1: excited about and cheer about. On Sunday, Well, Mark and

669
00:34:40,360 --> 00:34:45,560
Speaker 1: I figured that having GM on the show not quite enough.

670
00:34:45,800 --> 00:34:49,760
Speaker 1: How about the head coach of your Houston Texans, David Culley.

671
00:34:49,800 --> 00:34:52,960
Speaker 1: We're in a little Culley audio jukebox earlier. But a

672
00:34:52,960 --> 00:34:55,520
Speaker 1: little one on one with David Culley that we did

673
00:34:55,880 --> 00:35:00,200
Speaker 1: earlier this week, David Culley one on one exclusively right

674
00:35:00,239 --> 00:35:03,880
Speaker 1: here on Texans Radio, next on Texans Axis, Texans Axis.

675
00:35:05,160 --> 00:35:08,000
Speaker 1: Of course, we couldn't have Nick Cassario on the show

676
00:35:08,080 --> 00:35:12,000
Speaker 1: without David Colley, right. I mean, it's not a constitutional

677
00:35:12,120 --> 00:35:14,840
Speaker 1: amendment that's got to happen, but it just so happens

678
00:35:15,120 --> 00:35:18,840
Speaker 1: that Mark and I I've been John Harris Football Outsideline reporter,

679
00:35:18,880 --> 00:35:20,799
Speaker 1: your host for this evening, had a chance to catch

680
00:35:20,920 --> 00:35:24,879
Speaker 1: up with both Nickossario and David Culley this week. Here's

681
00:35:24,880 --> 00:35:27,279
Speaker 1: our one on wal with Coach Culley. How do you

682
00:35:27,400 --> 00:35:30,640
Speaker 1: balance being physical and ramping up that way after a

683
00:35:30,680 --> 00:35:34,000
Speaker 1: few days off and still being fresh for the game

684
00:35:34,080 --> 00:35:36,600
Speaker 1: on Sunday, being ready for that opener. Mark, one of

685
00:35:36,640 --> 00:35:41,480
Speaker 1: the reasons that I gave him off on Thursday was

686
00:35:41,640 --> 00:35:44,880
Speaker 1: for that reason, being able to be ready to go,

687
00:35:45,080 --> 00:35:47,399
Speaker 1: be fresh, be ready to go. We've had two good

688
00:35:47,520 --> 00:35:50,520
Speaker 1: days of practice last week. Prior to that, they practice

689
00:35:50,560 --> 00:35:55,120
Speaker 1: extremely hard and coming in back now getting them back

690
00:35:55,120 --> 00:35:58,280
Speaker 1: today today basically will be kind of like a walkthrough

691
00:35:58,360 --> 00:36:01,120
Speaker 1: day for us, and then as you mentioned, to ramp up.

692
00:36:01,520 --> 00:36:04,080
Speaker 1: They'll be off on Tuesday, and then we come back

693
00:36:04,120 --> 00:36:07,560
Speaker 1: on Wednesday and we're ready to go. Coach Mark was

694
00:36:07,600 --> 00:36:09,840
Speaker 1: a little upset that you didn't invite him to the barbecue,

695
00:36:09,920 --> 00:36:13,160
Speaker 1: but that said, what is something like that do for

696
00:36:13,280 --> 00:36:15,560
Speaker 1: your team when you get everybody together and you kind

697
00:36:15,600 --> 00:36:19,000
Speaker 1: of leave ball to the side and you just let

698
00:36:19,120 --> 00:36:22,560
Speaker 1: the guys bond and be together. How poor was that

699
00:36:22,680 --> 00:36:24,480
Speaker 1: to do that on Thursday? Well, first of all, let

700
00:36:24,560 --> 00:36:27,759
Speaker 1: me just say he wasn't invited. Everybody was invited. You know,

701
00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:30,080
Speaker 1: he just didn't come, but it was there for him.

702
00:36:30,400 --> 00:36:32,719
Speaker 1: He's a Texan, He'll tell you he was working right now,

703
00:36:32,840 --> 00:36:36,960
Speaker 1: and that's okay. That's okay. You know, team bonding. I mean,

704
00:36:38,200 --> 00:36:40,200
Speaker 1: those those kind of things right there. It's it's it

705
00:36:40,360 --> 00:36:43,399
Speaker 1: is by football. And then there's a time where all

706
00:36:43,400 --> 00:36:44,879
Speaker 1: of a sudden, you kind of you just go back

707
00:36:44,920 --> 00:36:46,719
Speaker 1: and just say, hey, look, let's just hang out together.

708
00:36:46,840 --> 00:36:49,600
Speaker 1: Let's just forget about the football part of it. Just

709
00:36:49,840 --> 00:36:53,320
Speaker 1: you know, talk family, talk, talk whatever, you know. And

710
00:36:53,920 --> 00:36:55,279
Speaker 1: that was a good time for us to be able

711
00:36:55,320 --> 00:36:57,480
Speaker 1: to do that. And and and I just said in

712
00:36:57,560 --> 00:37:00,839
Speaker 1: there earlier that it was a first time that I've

713
00:37:00,840 --> 00:37:04,000
Speaker 1: ever had my football team since I've been here. Clap

714
00:37:04,120 --> 00:37:05,400
Speaker 1: for me when I told him we were gonna have

715
00:37:05,440 --> 00:37:08,680
Speaker 1: to practice, you know, you know, so I felt good

716
00:37:08,680 --> 00:37:10,320
Speaker 1: about that, and I felt at that point that was

717
00:37:10,360 --> 00:37:12,880
Speaker 1: the right thing to do. And I still feel that

718
00:37:12,960 --> 00:37:15,399
Speaker 1: a way, and I'm glad we did it, and we're

719
00:37:15,440 --> 00:37:17,279
Speaker 1: just ready to go. Now. How did you and the

720
00:37:17,360 --> 00:37:20,359
Speaker 1: coaching staff reflect on training camp? What were your thoughts

721
00:37:20,400 --> 00:37:22,600
Speaker 1: about what was accomplished. I know you weren't happy with

722
00:37:22,800 --> 00:37:25,480
Speaker 1: turnovers in that last preseason game, but there were a

723
00:37:25,520 --> 00:37:28,479
Speaker 1: lot of positives as you're headed to the regular season. Well,

724
00:37:28,680 --> 00:37:30,719
Speaker 1: the fact is that we wanted to be a very

725
00:37:30,760 --> 00:37:33,759
Speaker 1: physical football team from start to finish. I felt like

726
00:37:33,800 --> 00:37:36,520
Speaker 1: we accomplished that. During the preseason. We wanted to be

727
00:37:36,560 --> 00:37:38,839
Speaker 1: able to establish the run game, which which I felt

728
00:37:38,880 --> 00:37:41,680
Speaker 1: like we did. During the preseason. We talked on defensively

729
00:37:41,680 --> 00:37:44,680
Speaker 1: about taking the ball away. You're talking about all the positives.

730
00:37:44,760 --> 00:37:49,319
Speaker 1: We did that again, other than the turnovers, we felt

731
00:37:49,360 --> 00:37:51,479
Speaker 1: good that we were right on our way, and had

732
00:37:51,600 --> 00:37:53,319
Speaker 1: we not turned the ball over the way we did

733
00:37:53,440 --> 00:37:55,919
Speaker 1: during that ball game last time we played, I would

734
00:37:55,920 --> 00:37:57,520
Speaker 1: have felt really good about who we're at right now.

735
00:37:57,680 --> 00:37:59,719
Speaker 1: I still feel good about whore we're at right now.

736
00:37:59,760 --> 00:38:02,000
Speaker 1: But the coach, you look back on that and you

737
00:38:02,080 --> 00:38:03,880
Speaker 1: just say, those are things that we got to eliminate.

738
00:38:04,000 --> 00:38:05,680
Speaker 1: You know, you gotta, you know to when you gotta

739
00:38:05,760 --> 00:38:08,000
Speaker 1: keep from losing. Turning the ball over you got no

740
00:38:08,160 --> 00:38:10,560
Speaker 1: chance to be able to do that, And so we're

741
00:38:10,600 --> 00:38:12,320
Speaker 1: going to focus on that and concentrate on that. And

742
00:38:12,719 --> 00:38:15,200
Speaker 1: prior to that, we've been very good at doing that. Coach,

743
00:38:15,239 --> 00:38:18,439
Speaker 1: from a preparation standpoint, all those years, you've been looking

744
00:38:18,480 --> 00:38:21,239
Speaker 1: at defenses, You've been looking at what defenses are doing,

745
00:38:21,320 --> 00:38:23,400
Speaker 1: what your quarterbacks or receivers you want them to do.

746
00:38:23,840 --> 00:38:27,000
Speaker 1: Ho's preparation going into this week different for you, This

747
00:38:27,160 --> 00:38:29,480
Speaker 1: being the first regular season game, you'll coach. Well, the

748
00:38:29,600 --> 00:38:32,160
Speaker 1: thing is that I'm not just focusing on one part

749
00:38:32,200 --> 00:38:34,280
Speaker 1: of it now. I'm looking at the whole big picture.

750
00:38:34,400 --> 00:38:35,960
Speaker 1: I mean, I look at the defense, I look at

751
00:38:35,960 --> 00:38:38,040
Speaker 1: the offense, I look at special teams. I kind of

752
00:38:38,120 --> 00:38:41,879
Speaker 1: look at players that I normally wouldn't look at and see,

753
00:38:42,400 --> 00:38:44,000
Speaker 1: and I kind of got to get it. I get

754
00:38:44,040 --> 00:38:46,719
Speaker 1: an ideal of when I look at that, of being

755
00:38:46,760 --> 00:38:49,200
Speaker 1: able to help our offensive, our defensive guys and even

756
00:38:49,280 --> 00:38:52,680
Speaker 1: Frank with our special teams and maybe seeing something that

757
00:38:52,840 --> 00:38:54,680
Speaker 1: maybe they don't see because I look at it a

758
00:38:54,719 --> 00:38:57,279
Speaker 1: little bit differently and they look at it they specifically

759
00:38:57,320 --> 00:38:59,760
Speaker 1: look at certain things. I'm looking at the big picture

760
00:38:59,800 --> 00:39:02,200
Speaker 1: and and I think has helped me from the standpoint

761
00:39:02,239 --> 00:39:04,759
Speaker 1: of saying, and I wonder if Frank saw this with

762
00:39:04,880 --> 00:39:06,839
Speaker 1: that guy was doing a special teams or and I'll

763
00:39:06,880 --> 00:39:08,320
Speaker 1: go right in and just say, hey, Frank, did you

764
00:39:08,360 --> 00:39:10,560
Speaker 1: see this guy to do that. That's something that as

765
00:39:10,600 --> 00:39:12,200
Speaker 1: a head coach, I get to do now that I

766
00:39:12,280 --> 00:39:15,239
Speaker 1: did not get to do before, and which is which

767
00:39:15,280 --> 00:39:18,160
Speaker 1: has been new for me. So for Tyrode, you announced

768
00:39:18,200 --> 00:39:20,040
Speaker 1: that he would be the starter, and I don't think

769
00:39:20,080 --> 00:39:23,400
Speaker 1: that was terribly unexpected or anything. Coach, but tell us

770
00:39:23,440 --> 00:39:25,800
Speaker 1: what you expect out of him as far as not

771
00:39:25,960 --> 00:39:28,640
Speaker 1: playing a ton in the preseason. But he's a veteran,

772
00:39:28,760 --> 00:39:30,799
Speaker 1: He's seen a lot of different looks before, He's seen

773
00:39:30,800 --> 00:39:32,960
Speaker 1: a lot of different things. How do you feel going

774
00:39:33,000 --> 00:39:35,399
Speaker 1: into this week? Well, the fact, Margaret you said he's

775
00:39:35,400 --> 00:39:37,960
Speaker 1: a veteran, he's been there and done that. He started

776
00:39:38,000 --> 00:39:42,040
Speaker 1: in this league before, he's been successful in this league before,

777
00:39:42,960 --> 00:39:45,279
Speaker 1: and I didn't feel like he needed a whole bunch

778
00:39:45,280 --> 00:39:49,160
Speaker 1: of work. And right now, I feel like that he's

779
00:39:49,200 --> 00:39:51,080
Speaker 1: ready to go. I feel like he has very good

780
00:39:51,080 --> 00:39:54,600
Speaker 1: command of what we want to do offensively, our players

781
00:39:54,680 --> 00:39:58,040
Speaker 1: feel confident in him, and I feel like we're ready

782
00:39:58,080 --> 00:40:01,040
Speaker 1: to go with him. Coach Jacksonville start a rookie quarterback.

783
00:40:01,160 --> 00:40:03,200
Speaker 1: You mentioned in your press conference you did get a

784
00:40:03,320 --> 00:40:05,640
Speaker 1: chance to evaluate him through the draft process, so I

785
00:40:05,960 --> 00:40:08,239
Speaker 1: think that would help the prep which also facing the

786
00:40:08,280 --> 00:40:12,600
Speaker 1: first time NFL head coach in Urban Meyer how complicated

787
00:40:12,719 --> 00:40:15,000
Speaker 1: in some senses that make it that you have a quarterback. Yes,

788
00:40:15,080 --> 00:40:17,719
Speaker 1: you started, but also you've got a coach that maybe

789
00:40:17,760 --> 00:40:19,480
Speaker 1: you don't know a ton about how he's going to

790
00:40:19,560 --> 00:40:23,120
Speaker 1: react in an NFL environment versus a college environment. Well, again,

791
00:40:23,200 --> 00:40:26,200
Speaker 1: I go back to evaluate and look at the football

792
00:40:26,239 --> 00:40:28,719
Speaker 1: team on what we see and what we've seen from

793
00:40:28,840 --> 00:40:32,000
Speaker 1: Jacksonville is is a little bit like what Urban did

794
00:40:32,040 --> 00:40:33,560
Speaker 1: when he was at Ohio State. You know, I've heard

795
00:40:33,640 --> 00:40:36,279
Speaker 1: him talk about they want to be fast when they

796
00:40:36,520 --> 00:40:38,560
Speaker 1: getting out of the huddle, they want to be able

797
00:40:38,600 --> 00:40:40,080
Speaker 1: to get up to the line of screams ago, they

798
00:40:40,120 --> 00:40:41,520
Speaker 1: want to be able to run the ball, which sounds

799
00:40:41,520 --> 00:40:44,880
Speaker 1: similar to some other team. Yeah, So you know, I

800
00:40:45,040 --> 00:40:47,000
Speaker 1: just I look at it from the standpoint of he's

801
00:40:47,040 --> 00:40:50,080
Speaker 1: a rookie quarterback. He's just a quarterback. On the other side,

802
00:40:50,120 --> 00:40:52,799
Speaker 1: whether he's a rookie or a veteran really doesn't matter.

803
00:40:52,880 --> 00:40:55,080
Speaker 1: We're planning to Jacksonville Jaguars. We're going to look at

804
00:40:55,120 --> 00:40:57,480
Speaker 1: it that a way. We do understand that he is

805
00:40:57,480 --> 00:41:00,279
Speaker 1: a rookie, he hasn't played, and we'll just take it

806
00:41:00,320 --> 00:41:02,480
Speaker 1: from there. You were able to practice a bunch of

807
00:41:02,560 --> 00:41:05,560
Speaker 1: different situational work. Do you feel good about that side

808
00:41:05,600 --> 00:41:07,440
Speaker 1: of things? What you were able to show them as

809
00:41:07,440 --> 00:41:09,840
Speaker 1: far as different situations that come up. Feel good about that.

810
00:41:09,960 --> 00:41:13,200
Speaker 1: And we're very fortunate too that during the preseason we

811
00:41:13,360 --> 00:41:15,600
Speaker 1: got to go through some of those situations in a

812
00:41:15,680 --> 00:41:19,600
Speaker 1: live a game, which also helped us because we have

813
00:41:19,719 --> 00:41:21,840
Speaker 1: prepared for those. There are some things that we haven't

814
00:41:22,120 --> 00:41:24,440
Speaker 1: seen live yet in the game, but that we've prepared.

815
00:41:24,760 --> 00:41:27,640
Speaker 1: But we do that every everyday in practice. We have

816
00:41:27,719 --> 00:41:30,560
Speaker 1: a different situation that could come up that may not

817
00:41:30,640 --> 00:41:32,960
Speaker 1: ever come up that we practice, but we feel good

818
00:41:33,000 --> 00:41:34,879
Speaker 1: about right now that whatever comes up in the game,

819
00:41:35,000 --> 00:41:37,200
Speaker 1: we're prepared to be able to handle whatever happens. Because

820
00:41:37,239 --> 00:41:38,600
Speaker 1: one of the things that stood out to me as

821
00:41:38,640 --> 00:41:41,360
Speaker 1: I was watching college games this weekend was the impact

822
00:41:41,920 --> 00:41:44,440
Speaker 1: of a full crowd. Obviously, twenty twenty was such an

823
00:41:44,480 --> 00:41:47,240
Speaker 1: odd year. I remember when y'all came here, Lasha with Baltimore.

824
00:41:47,280 --> 00:41:48,640
Speaker 1: There's not a fan in the stands. It was the

825
00:41:48,719 --> 00:41:52,440
Speaker 1: most odd thing. Ever, how important do the fans become

826
00:41:53,239 --> 00:41:56,200
Speaker 1: for you at an Energy stadium on Sunday. Well, this

827
00:41:56,360 --> 00:41:59,560
Speaker 1: is one of the loudest stadiums in the NFL. It's

828
00:41:59,600 --> 00:42:02,880
Speaker 1: a tough place to come play. It's always been loud.

829
00:42:03,600 --> 00:42:05,879
Speaker 1: And I know again y'all going back to you talking

830
00:42:05,880 --> 00:42:09,239
Speaker 1: a rookie quarterback in the environment here. Uh. And the

831
00:42:09,320 --> 00:42:12,040
Speaker 1: one thing about this league when you when you can't

832
00:42:12,440 --> 00:42:16,120
Speaker 1: get the snap off you you're hesitant about doing things. Uh,

833
00:42:16,280 --> 00:42:19,960
Speaker 1: it becomes an advantage. And I know I expect the

834
00:42:20,200 --> 00:42:22,239
Speaker 1: Texans fans right here to be as loud as they've

835
00:42:22,280 --> 00:42:25,840
Speaker 1: been through the years. And I've I've been on the

836
00:42:25,920 --> 00:42:29,440
Speaker 1: other side of that. I've had trouble here in the past. Uh,

837
00:42:29,560 --> 00:42:31,400
Speaker 1: coming in here, we've always felt like we had to

838
00:42:31,440 --> 00:42:34,960
Speaker 1: work on taking a snap with without calling calling a

839
00:42:35,000 --> 00:42:38,120
Speaker 1: snap count. And UH, that's a that's a big advantage

840
00:42:38,360 --> 00:42:40,560
Speaker 1: to point you when you got your fans here. All right,

841
00:42:40,560 --> 00:42:42,120
Speaker 1: we got one hour in the books of this Wednesday

842
00:42:42,160 --> 00:42:44,600
Speaker 1: at issue of Texas All Access. Coming up, Mark and

843
00:42:44,680 --> 00:42:47,360
Speaker 1: I chat about this one against the Jags. Next on

844
00:42:47,440 --> 00:42:51,800
Speaker 1: Texans Access, we start the second hour of this Wednesday

845
00:42:51,800 --> 00:42:54,200
Speaker 1: at issue of Texans All Access. I love saying that

846
00:42:54,360 --> 00:42:57,280
Speaker 1: because we are in game week, that means two hours

847
00:42:57,760 --> 00:43:01,920
Speaker 1: of this Wednesday Texans All Access. I'm John Harrison, joined

848
00:43:02,440 --> 00:43:04,800
Speaker 1: by the gentlemen you heard with me in the previous

849
00:43:04,880 --> 00:43:08,120
Speaker 1: segment interview at GM, Nick Cassio and also head coach

850
00:43:08,200 --> 00:43:10,560
Speaker 1: David Culley. And that would be the voice of the Texans,

851
00:43:11,080 --> 00:43:15,279
Speaker 1: Mark Van Meir, Mark, good evening, How are you and

852
00:43:15,440 --> 00:43:19,040
Speaker 1: how is it to have a full game week back

853
00:43:19,120 --> 00:43:22,120
Speaker 1: in our midst, less than what Thursday providing, say, four

854
00:43:22,160 --> 00:43:24,160
Speaker 1: days away, five days away. I don't even know. I'm

855
00:43:24,160 --> 00:43:27,160
Speaker 1: just so excited to get to a game week. I'll

856
00:43:27,200 --> 00:43:30,280
Speaker 1: be happy when we get the Sunday. I'm pinching myself.

857
00:43:30,560 --> 00:43:33,760
Speaker 1: I keep thinking, wait a minute, is this really happening Sunday.

858
00:43:33,800 --> 00:43:37,680
Speaker 1: There's gonna be actual regular season football? Right? The offseason

859
00:43:37,800 --> 00:43:42,040
Speaker 1: is so long, and this one was so involved, so

860
00:43:42,239 --> 00:43:45,279
Speaker 1: many things happening, and we finally got the camp and

861
00:43:45,560 --> 00:43:48,960
Speaker 1: I love the layering process. You get to the stage

862
00:43:49,000 --> 00:43:51,279
Speaker 1: two with the preseason games and now here we are.

863
00:43:51,600 --> 00:43:54,160
Speaker 1: It was weird having last week with no game for

864
00:43:54,280 --> 00:43:56,880
Speaker 1: what we do, Johnny and when we do these game broadcasts,

865
00:43:56,880 --> 00:43:59,520
Speaker 1: and we didn't do one last week. But I'm here

866
00:43:59,560 --> 00:44:04,759
Speaker 1: for it, man, seventeen games. Let's go Jacksonville Texans Division showdown.

867
00:44:04,880 --> 00:44:06,920
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence. I mean, I'm pumped up. How can you

868
00:44:07,000 --> 00:44:12,520
Speaker 1: not be well? I read something today and Vegas still

869
00:44:12,600 --> 00:44:15,799
Speaker 1: has Jacksonville's a three point favorite. So people are thinking

870
00:44:15,880 --> 00:44:19,880
Speaker 1: whoa number one overall pick in the draft could potentially

871
00:44:19,960 --> 00:44:22,960
Speaker 1: get a win. And I said this to you, and

872
00:44:23,040 --> 00:44:25,800
Speaker 1: I figured, you know why if I'm saying this, I

873
00:44:25,880 --> 00:44:28,880
Speaker 1: bet Mark already knows this, and you did. The last

874
00:44:29,160 --> 00:44:35,800
Speaker 1: number one overall pick quarterback to win his opening game

875
00:44:36,560 --> 00:44:39,640
Speaker 1: was David Carr. Because it came up last night. By

876
00:44:39,640 --> 00:44:41,400
Speaker 1: the way, I want to be fair, somebody might be

877
00:44:41,480 --> 00:44:43,440
Speaker 1: listening right now, A lot of people who were listening

878
00:44:43,560 --> 00:44:46,239
Speaker 1: last night when Deepe brought it up. But I wasn't sure.

879
00:44:46,280 --> 00:44:49,160
Speaker 1: I kind of I think I guessed Andrew Luck. But yeah,

880
00:44:49,280 --> 00:44:52,000
Speaker 1: David one in two thousand and two, and that was

881
00:44:52,120 --> 00:44:57,200
Speaker 1: such a tremendous, monumental upset because obviously of an expansion

882
00:44:57,239 --> 00:45:00,200
Speaker 1: team going up against the Cowboys who weren't project to

883
00:45:00,360 --> 00:45:03,200
Speaker 1: be that good but should have been better, and you're

884
00:45:03,200 --> 00:45:05,279
Speaker 1: able to beat them that night with good defense and

885
00:45:05,480 --> 00:45:08,520
Speaker 1: some opportunistic offense, which I think is how this team

886
00:45:08,600 --> 00:45:13,560
Speaker 1: needs to win. Good defense, opportunistic offense, and that might

887
00:45:13,640 --> 00:45:15,480
Speaker 1: not be the only word to describe them, because I

888
00:45:15,560 --> 00:45:17,480
Speaker 1: think this team is going to try to pound teams

889
00:45:17,520 --> 00:45:20,239
Speaker 1: into oblivion on the offensive side of the ball, try too,

890
00:45:20,360 --> 00:45:21,800
Speaker 1: and we'll see if they can get it done. And

891
00:45:21,920 --> 00:45:25,759
Speaker 1: I'm okay with that, I really am. I. I you know,

892
00:45:26,920 --> 00:45:28,760
Speaker 1: I want to make sure I say it's properly, because

893
00:45:29,440 --> 00:45:32,640
Speaker 1: I don't want it to sound as if you know,

894
00:45:32,719 --> 00:45:35,560
Speaker 1: there hasn't there haven't been good things happening with the Texans, etc.

895
00:45:35,960 --> 00:45:38,440
Speaker 1: But there are times I watch a team like the Ravens,

896
00:45:39,160 --> 00:45:43,720
Speaker 1: and I watch the Ravens just physically take a team's soul,

897
00:45:43,840 --> 00:45:47,680
Speaker 1: like just physically, you can see the other team like done,

898
00:45:48,200 --> 00:45:50,080
Speaker 1: I'm out. I'm out. I don't want any part of this.

899
00:45:50,640 --> 00:45:54,839
Speaker 1: I Am done. And you see teams maybe not quit,

900
00:45:55,640 --> 00:45:58,560
Speaker 1: but the life is taken out of them, and it's

901
00:45:58,600 --> 00:46:02,520
Speaker 1: taken out of them. With offensive line that had Marshall Yonda,

902
00:46:02,640 --> 00:46:07,000
Speaker 1: Orlando Brown, you know, great players, and they just physically

903
00:46:07,760 --> 00:46:11,600
Speaker 1: hammered you. There's something about that that I love. And look,

904
00:46:11,760 --> 00:46:14,040
Speaker 1: I love a deep ball as much as anybody. That's

905
00:46:14,120 --> 00:46:17,040
Speaker 1: my guilty pleasure. But you know what, I've been in

906
00:46:17,200 --> 00:46:21,520
Speaker 1: games before where because that's the way we played in

907
00:46:21,600 --> 00:46:23,880
Speaker 1: high school was we're gonna pound you to death and

908
00:46:24,320 --> 00:46:26,840
Speaker 1: if you don't like it, you're just gonna get trampled.

909
00:46:27,040 --> 00:46:30,400
Speaker 1: So we won games nineteen to seven, but man, in

910
00:46:30,520 --> 00:46:33,759
Speaker 1: that fourth quarter, teams did not want any part of us,

911
00:46:33,920 --> 00:46:37,400
Speaker 1: and it was just that was like that extra special

912
00:46:37,560 --> 00:46:39,880
Speaker 1: kind of you know, Jonah hill feeling like in a

913
00:46:40,040 --> 00:46:42,360
Speaker 1: Moneyball when they get to trade, he turns and he

914
00:46:42,440 --> 00:46:44,680
Speaker 1: kind of grinds. This just a year. It's kind of

915
00:46:44,719 --> 00:46:47,640
Speaker 1: that feeling. So you know what, if we pound teams

916
00:46:47,680 --> 00:46:52,440
Speaker 1: into submission, that would be fun. I have no issue.

917
00:46:52,960 --> 00:46:54,759
Speaker 1: First of all, I have no issue winning any which way.

918
00:46:54,760 --> 00:46:56,520
Speaker 1: I don't care. If you've blocked five points and they'll

919
00:46:56,560 --> 00:46:58,160
Speaker 1: go back for touchdowns, that's the only way you start.

920
00:46:58,239 --> 00:47:01,280
Speaker 1: I don't care. But if you bludge in the team

921
00:47:01,840 --> 00:47:07,040
Speaker 1: and physically just take that team's heart out and stop

922
00:47:07,120 --> 00:47:09,840
Speaker 1: on it as you're just running by, I have I

923
00:47:09,880 --> 00:47:13,240
Speaker 1: would love to see us win that particular way. Would

924
00:47:13,280 --> 00:47:16,959
Speaker 1: absolutely love it. And up front, I think we're gonna

925
00:47:17,000 --> 00:47:20,360
Speaker 1: be better such that we can be more physical. I

926
00:47:20,440 --> 00:47:24,120
Speaker 1: think justin Britt the physicality he plays with. I don't

927
00:47:24,120 --> 00:47:27,920
Speaker 1: know how this is all going to go together on Sunday. Upfront,

928
00:47:28,000 --> 00:47:29,880
Speaker 1: I really don't. We don't know if Charlie Hack is

929
00:47:29,880 --> 00:47:32,040
Speaker 1: gonna be available. He's on the COVID nineteen list right now,

930
00:47:32,080 --> 00:47:35,239
Speaker 1: but he is vaccinated, so he could get back. So

931
00:47:35,440 --> 00:47:38,759
Speaker 1: we'll see you don't He said no, and so that's right.

932
00:47:38,760 --> 00:47:41,200
Speaker 1: He did say yeah, yeah, So I think you're gonna

933
00:47:41,239 --> 00:47:43,960
Speaker 1: see a new combination. But I think they have the

934
00:47:44,080 --> 00:47:47,279
Speaker 1: bodies to do it. Johnny, even if Cannon is not available,

935
00:47:47,280 --> 00:47:50,200
Speaker 1: I think Christian is capable. They can move him, and

936
00:47:50,640 --> 00:47:53,680
Speaker 1: you know with Laramie, or they could move Howard back over. Look,

937
00:47:53,760 --> 00:47:57,560
Speaker 1: we don't see how they practice game plan wise during

938
00:47:57,600 --> 00:47:59,920
Speaker 1: a game week, so who knows what they're cooking up here.

939
00:48:00,320 --> 00:48:02,400
Speaker 1: But I do believe they have the bodies to get

940
00:48:02,440 --> 00:48:04,600
Speaker 1: it done, especially with the flexibility you have on the

941
00:48:04,640 --> 00:48:07,200
Speaker 1: practice squad, because in the old days you'd have to

942
00:48:07,280 --> 00:48:10,520
Speaker 1: keep more offensive lineman just to work some combination that

943
00:48:10,640 --> 00:48:14,560
Speaker 1: could really help you out on Sunday. Now you can wait, wait, wait, okay,

944
00:48:14,600 --> 00:48:16,440
Speaker 1: we're gonna go with this and maybe bring a guy up,

945
00:48:16,560 --> 00:48:18,960
Speaker 1: or maybe not. Maybe they'll just handle it with whoever's

946
00:48:18,960 --> 00:48:21,279
Speaker 1: on the fifty three man roster. I think it's gonna

947
00:48:21,320 --> 00:48:24,319
Speaker 1: be fascinating to see how they line up that way.

948
00:48:24,800 --> 00:48:30,520
Speaker 1: And also Trod Taylor, Tyrod Taylor, Trod Taylor. However, we're

949
00:48:30,520 --> 00:48:33,919
Speaker 1: gonna pronounce it on Sunday. He only threw the ball

950
00:48:34,080 --> 00:48:38,120
Speaker 1: eighteen times in the preseason. Eighteen in three games he

951
00:48:38,320 --> 00:48:42,320
Speaker 1: completed twelve. That's sixty six percent. And I'll take that

952
00:48:42,520 --> 00:48:46,120
Speaker 1: every single day of the week, right, won't you take that?

953
00:48:46,239 --> 00:48:48,319
Speaker 1: Monte sixty six percent on the year. I think that'd

954
00:48:48,320 --> 00:48:51,560
Speaker 1: be a career best for Tyrod Taylor in a regular season,

955
00:48:51,640 --> 00:48:54,920
Speaker 1: in any season. So I'll take that. And if they

956
00:48:55,040 --> 00:48:58,600
Speaker 1: can throw for about sixty five sixty four percent, if

957
00:48:58,680 --> 00:49:01,680
Speaker 1: they can run the ball the way they want, the

958
00:49:01,760 --> 00:49:04,520
Speaker 1: way they like, I believe they'll have success. You just

959
00:49:04,680 --> 00:49:06,880
Speaker 1: haven't seen the whole playbook. I know Colley had that

960
00:49:06,960 --> 00:49:09,719
Speaker 1: quote on on Monday where he said, well, you know

961
00:49:09,840 --> 00:49:11,520
Speaker 1: what we were, the preseas, and that's who we are.

962
00:49:11,600 --> 00:49:13,640
Speaker 1: We just want to do it better. And I think

963
00:49:13,680 --> 00:49:16,040
Speaker 1: he was making a general point there about you know,

964
00:49:16,120 --> 00:49:17,760
Speaker 1: they're not going to go into the run and shoot

965
00:49:17,920 --> 00:49:20,480
Speaker 1: or start running the wishbone or something like that. But

966
00:49:21,520 --> 00:49:25,480
Speaker 1: eighteen passes. You have not seen the entire Tim Kelly playbook.

967
00:49:25,640 --> 00:49:30,240
Speaker 1: There's no way, no how. Get ready. It's coming on Sunday.

968
00:49:30,280 --> 00:49:32,319
Speaker 1: We'll see how it works out. We haven't had chance

969
00:49:32,360 --> 00:49:33,600
Speaker 1: to talk about this on the air. I know you

970
00:49:33,680 --> 00:49:37,200
Speaker 1: probably talked about it. I can't. I can't even remember

971
00:49:37,239 --> 00:49:40,760
Speaker 1: all the days of running together, so I don't remember

972
00:49:41,840 --> 00:49:44,960
Speaker 1: the first time we saw the Danny Amndola news. That

973
00:49:45,120 --> 00:49:47,799
Speaker 1: was yesterday. We talked about it now. It was late.

974
00:49:47,920 --> 00:49:50,839
Speaker 1: It's so we um you know, you and I weren't

975
00:49:50,840 --> 00:49:53,239
Speaker 1: on the air. DP and I. We're getting done with

976
00:49:53,320 --> 00:49:56,360
Speaker 1: our show, so no, we haven't really delved into that.

977
00:49:56,480 --> 00:49:59,840
Speaker 1: If you will. It's interesting watching, you know, player acquisition

978
00:50:00,000 --> 00:50:03,200
Speaker 1: and nowadays because you have to double check, they put

979
00:50:03,520 --> 00:50:06,759
Speaker 1: him on the regular roster, the practice squad. Because when

980
00:50:06,800 --> 00:50:10,640
Speaker 1: I saw Joey Slye on the transaction list, my eyes

981
00:50:10,719 --> 00:50:14,120
Speaker 1: just immediately went, okay, joy Slice a new kicker. Then

982
00:50:14,160 --> 00:50:15,480
Speaker 1: I went back and looked at went, oh no, no,

983
00:50:15,560 --> 00:50:17,440
Speaker 1: he's in the practice squad. Of course today kind you

984
00:50:17,520 --> 00:50:19,640
Speaker 1: got put on IR so he kind of gotta watch that.

985
00:50:19,719 --> 00:50:21,839
Speaker 1: But Danny A. Mendola put on the fifty three man roster.

986
00:50:22,400 --> 00:50:24,200
Speaker 1: You and I do this a lot. There's your gut

987
00:50:24,280 --> 00:50:29,520
Speaker 1: reaction to that. With Danny Amendola, they worked him out.

988
00:50:30,480 --> 00:50:33,040
Speaker 1: I think they believe in what they've got here physically, right,

989
00:50:33,080 --> 00:50:34,719
Speaker 1: you look at his numbers from last year, they were

990
00:50:34,760 --> 00:50:38,160
Speaker 1: pretty good. Yeah, and as a slot receiver productive and

991
00:50:38,320 --> 00:50:41,560
Speaker 1: he'll be where he's supposed to be. He knows this system,

992
00:50:41,680 --> 00:50:44,440
Speaker 1: or at least enough of it. And I think that

993
00:50:44,600 --> 00:50:48,600
Speaker 1: That's what Taylor needs is him to be where he's

994
00:50:48,640 --> 00:50:52,000
Speaker 1: supposed to be. I mean that's look, I'm under pressure.

995
00:50:52,040 --> 00:50:54,600
Speaker 1: Amendola was supposed to be there at the hash three

996
00:50:54,719 --> 00:50:56,920
Speaker 1: yards down feet whatever it is, you know, as a

997
00:50:57,040 --> 00:50:59,680
Speaker 1: quick out or whatever he's gonna do. I need him

998
00:50:59,719 --> 00:51:02,800
Speaker 1: to be there. I also am intrigued by Anthony Miller.

999
00:51:02,880 --> 00:51:05,399
Speaker 1: Let's see, Colley was saying some things about him today

1000
00:51:05,480 --> 00:51:07,719
Speaker 1: that indicated maybe he's not gonna be good to go.

1001
00:51:07,840 --> 00:51:10,040
Speaker 1: I don't know, and maybe that's why Amandola is here.

1002
00:51:10,080 --> 00:51:12,080
Speaker 1: And maybe they don't think Amandola is a long term

1003
00:51:12,160 --> 00:51:14,640
Speaker 1: meeting long term within the context of the season solution.

1004
00:51:14,920 --> 00:51:17,560
Speaker 1: I don't know either, but I'm here for it as

1005
00:51:17,600 --> 00:51:20,840
Speaker 1: well because he's done so many good things in this league.

1006
00:51:20,840 --> 00:51:23,879
Speaker 1: I think in this offense he will be very good.

1007
00:51:24,440 --> 00:51:27,520
Speaker 1: And I like the signing. I just think they look

1008
00:51:27,600 --> 00:51:30,480
Speaker 1: if they think that he's going to help them, I

1009
00:51:30,600 --> 00:51:34,200
Speaker 1: think they understand what they have and how it could work.

1010
00:51:34,560 --> 00:51:38,000
Speaker 1: So let's go, what is your gut reaction to it? Well,

1011
00:51:38,000 --> 00:51:39,239
Speaker 1: I think there are a couple of things. Number One,

1012
00:51:39,239 --> 00:51:42,640
Speaker 1: you brought up Anthony Miller. Injury report came out today

1013
00:51:42,680 --> 00:51:45,000
Speaker 1: with five names. One of them is going to be

1014
00:51:45,080 --> 00:51:48,200
Speaker 1: on the quote unquote injury report for the rest of

1015
00:51:48,280 --> 00:51:51,480
Speaker 1: the season. And that's somebody I said in the first segment.

1016
00:51:51,520 --> 00:51:54,360
Speaker 1: I said, today, Deshaun Watson goes the injury report, and

1017
00:51:54,880 --> 00:51:57,439
Speaker 1: I'll read the injury report Wednesdays and Fridays and he'll

1018
00:51:57,480 --> 00:51:59,239
Speaker 1: be on it. But I'm not going to continue to

1019
00:51:59,280 --> 00:52:02,400
Speaker 1: bring up his name. Just know he's gonna be there until,

1020
00:52:03,760 --> 00:52:06,719
Speaker 1: as Nick said, until there's there's more to go on

1021
00:52:06,920 --> 00:52:10,439
Speaker 1: from there. There are four their names, none of them

1022
00:52:10,960 --> 00:52:15,239
Speaker 1: were Anthony Miller. Yeah, that thought was interesting, which indicates

1023
00:52:15,400 --> 00:52:19,600
Speaker 1: he's seemingly ready to go, which I thought was a

1024
00:52:19,800 --> 00:52:24,480
Speaker 1: great sign. Here's the other thing. Anthony Miller doesn't just

1025
00:52:25,280 --> 00:52:28,759
Speaker 1: have to play in the slot, right, So I think

1026
00:52:28,840 --> 00:52:31,640
Speaker 1: Anthony can move around a little bit. Now. I think

1027
00:52:31,719 --> 00:52:35,120
Speaker 1: it's optimal for him to be inside. I think he

1028
00:52:35,320 --> 00:52:39,320
Speaker 1: is excellent inside, but he also you know, it is

1029
00:52:39,360 --> 00:52:41,759
Speaker 1: interesting because when you think about, well, he's got this

1030
00:52:41,880 --> 00:52:44,439
Speaker 1: battle going on for the slot receiver position, you'd see

1031
00:52:44,520 --> 00:52:46,799
Speaker 1: him standing next to Kiki QT, and you're like, wait,

1032
00:52:46,920 --> 00:52:51,480
Speaker 1: Towers over QT. He's well put together. He's a thicker guy,

1033
00:52:52,000 --> 00:52:55,160
Speaker 1: so he can exist outside if you need him to

1034
00:52:55,800 --> 00:52:59,840
Speaker 1: So from that perspective, you can put Amandola and Miller

1035
00:52:59,880 --> 00:53:02,239
Speaker 1: on the field at the same time, and I think

1036
00:53:02,320 --> 00:53:05,960
Speaker 1: you would be you'd be more than all right. And

1037
00:53:06,280 --> 00:53:09,719
Speaker 1: I think one thing you said is dead on and

1038
00:53:09,880 --> 00:53:13,120
Speaker 1: this is something and not that not that Tyrod is

1039
00:53:13,160 --> 00:53:15,560
Speaker 1: a short He's not Kyler Murray. He had it is

1040
00:53:15,600 --> 00:53:19,040
Speaker 1: not the standar his tiptoes. But Tyrod is not the

1041
00:53:19,200 --> 00:53:23,360
Speaker 1: tallest guy. So sometimes you're throwing to a space and

1042
00:53:23,520 --> 00:53:27,359
Speaker 1: you're hoping, fingers crossed, my guy's gotta be there. He's

1043
00:53:27,360 --> 00:53:30,560
Speaker 1: got to be there. And so for an offensive staff,

1044
00:53:30,640 --> 00:53:33,440
Speaker 1: for a quarterback, to have a guy on the roster

1045
00:53:33,600 --> 00:53:36,759
Speaker 1: in which you know this guy's gonna be exactly where

1046
00:53:36,760 --> 00:53:42,160
Speaker 1: he needs to be. I don't ultimately think that you

1047
00:53:42,239 --> 00:53:44,239
Speaker 1: know a guy like Keiky qt. I don't know if

1048
00:53:44,320 --> 00:53:47,880
Speaker 1: that was something that was always the case. And there

1049
00:53:47,960 --> 00:53:51,320
Speaker 1: are some cases where Keiki was where somebody else was

1050
00:53:52,440 --> 00:53:55,120
Speaker 1: where he was supposed to be somewhere else, and you know,

1051
00:53:55,160 --> 00:53:57,879
Speaker 1: there's there are may be some issues with that. That said,

1052
00:53:58,400 --> 00:54:01,000
Speaker 1: I think you can play Anthony mill or an Amundola together.

1053
00:54:01,960 --> 00:54:05,919
Speaker 1: Watching Amndola move around today at practice, he didn't look

1054
00:54:05,960 --> 00:54:08,359
Speaker 1: any worse for wear. Now you get into a game,

1055
00:54:09,040 --> 00:54:11,640
Speaker 1: we'll see because the speed picks up in a way

1056
00:54:11,680 --> 00:54:15,600
Speaker 1: you go. But Nick used this phrase that is I

1057
00:54:15,640 --> 00:54:18,360
Speaker 1: think it's press conference to talk about inside the formation

1058
00:54:19,000 --> 00:54:23,760
Speaker 1: pass catchers, your slots, you're tight ends, you're running backs.

1059
00:54:25,000 --> 00:54:29,360
Speaker 1: I really have very little worry about that quote unquote

1060
00:54:29,480 --> 00:54:33,640
Speaker 1: position because between the tight ends, the three that we

1061
00:54:33,760 --> 00:54:38,040
Speaker 1: have seen in between a Mendola Miller and the running backs,

1062
00:54:38,239 --> 00:54:42,400
Speaker 1: they're all very good inside the formation pass catchers, and

1063
00:54:42,520 --> 00:54:44,719
Speaker 1: I think they'll be able to put some pressure on

1064
00:54:44,880 --> 00:54:49,239
Speaker 1: the Jags and subsequent defenses because of those groups. And

1065
00:54:50,080 --> 00:54:53,320
Speaker 1: we know that Tyrod does, like us to say it

1066
00:54:53,400 --> 00:54:57,680
Speaker 1: does like he's not he's not afraid to take profit.

1067
00:54:58,160 --> 00:55:00,720
Speaker 1: That's a three yard checked out, I'm taking three yards.

1068
00:55:01,200 --> 00:55:04,760
Speaker 1: That's a little seven yards circle up. I'm taking seven yards.

1069
00:55:05,120 --> 00:55:08,000
Speaker 1: He will take the profit. And when you have inside

1070
00:55:08,320 --> 00:55:11,959
Speaker 1: the formation pass catchers like those, I think you're gonna

1071
00:55:11,960 --> 00:55:13,840
Speaker 1: be okay. I actually was okay when I saw it.

1072
00:55:14,320 --> 00:55:16,239
Speaker 1: I saw the you know the money, I don't think

1073
00:55:16,280 --> 00:55:20,719
Speaker 1: the money's really not really all that big a number.

1074
00:55:20,920 --> 00:55:23,799
Speaker 1: It doesn't really I think hurt you. Here's the other one.

1075
00:55:23,960 --> 00:55:27,480
Speaker 1: Your gut reaction. Okay, that's Bradley Roby being traded to

1076
00:55:27,560 --> 00:55:31,480
Speaker 1: the Saints. Your gut reaction to that, well, look, I

1077
00:55:31,560 --> 00:55:33,680
Speaker 1: went to my buddy John Harris and I asked him, like,

1078
00:55:33,760 --> 00:55:37,040
Speaker 1: how does this affect him in the secondary, And John

1079
00:55:37,160 --> 00:55:39,880
Speaker 1: Harris said that they play a lot of zone, that

1080
00:55:40,360 --> 00:55:43,440
Speaker 1: maybe Roby's skills are more suited to man, not that

1081
00:55:43,560 --> 00:55:46,600
Speaker 1: he can't play zone, but that it was a deal

1082
00:55:46,760 --> 00:55:49,120
Speaker 1: Nick felt he had to make right. And that's what

1083
00:55:49,280 --> 00:55:51,279
Speaker 1: Kelly said to They all say this, right, all the

1084
00:55:51,360 --> 00:55:54,360
Speaker 1: coaches and personnel people say this, you do what's in

1085
00:55:54,400 --> 00:55:56,959
Speaker 1: the best interest of the team. That's what they felt

1086
00:55:57,000 --> 00:55:58,880
Speaker 1: like was in the best interest of the team, the

1087
00:55:59,040 --> 00:56:02,560
Speaker 1: return what they have on the roster. Look, they got

1088
00:56:02,640 --> 00:56:04,960
Speaker 1: to get pressure on the quarterback, Robie or no Roby,

1089
00:56:05,120 --> 00:56:08,080
Speaker 1: Roby or Dion Sanders and his prime back there. They've

1090
00:56:08,120 --> 00:56:10,040
Speaker 1: got to get pressure on the quarterback. And I think

1091
00:56:10,120 --> 00:56:13,920
Speaker 1: that's the prescription. Here's that's the job description of that

1092
00:56:14,120 --> 00:56:17,000
Speaker 1: front seven. To find a way to get there. And

1093
00:56:17,640 --> 00:56:19,880
Speaker 1: that's how they're gonna live. You know that, that's how

1094
00:56:19,960 --> 00:56:22,759
Speaker 1: they live or die this year. It's not because they

1095
00:56:22,840 --> 00:56:25,239
Speaker 1: have four Pro bowlers back there, not that those guys

1096
00:56:25,280 --> 00:56:27,520
Speaker 1: can't play. You know, Justin Reid and friends. Not that

1097
00:56:27,600 --> 00:56:30,440
Speaker 1: they can't play, but you've got to get what you

1098
00:56:30,520 --> 00:56:34,680
Speaker 1: got in the preseason, which was backfield penetration forcing Aaron throws. Look,

1099
00:56:34,680 --> 00:56:36,960
Speaker 1: I know Brady had those two drives. It's Tom Brady.

1100
00:56:37,080 --> 00:56:41,400
Speaker 1: The ball was coming out lightning fast. Like. Speaking of

1101
00:56:41,480 --> 00:56:44,319
Speaker 1: people being where they're supposed to be, when Tampa Bay

1102
00:56:44,400 --> 00:56:47,080
Speaker 1: was warming up, I thought Pro Bowl team. I mean,

1103
00:56:47,120 --> 00:56:49,480
Speaker 1: look at all those names, you know, and Brady's had

1104
00:56:49,640 --> 00:56:52,480
Speaker 1: all this time with them now and they're gonna It's

1105
00:56:52,520 --> 00:56:54,719
Speaker 1: not like they're gonna start where they started last year

1106
00:56:54,760 --> 00:56:57,640
Speaker 1: when they went to New Orleans and it was really tough. No,

1107
00:56:57,960 --> 00:57:02,120
Speaker 1: they've lived together now, and he's been with Antonio Brown before. Obviously,

1108
00:57:02,160 --> 00:57:04,560
Speaker 1: he's been with Gronk for years. They're the most prolific

1109
00:57:04,680 --> 00:57:08,880
Speaker 1: playoff duo ever, and they are all in their spots.

1110
00:57:09,000 --> 00:57:11,600
Speaker 1: So Brady just drops back, Bam, I'm gonna throw it here.

1111
00:57:11,640 --> 00:57:14,120
Speaker 1: You'll be there, bam. You know it's not gonna be

1112
00:57:14,320 --> 00:57:16,400
Speaker 1: that way every Sunday. It certainly won't be like that

1113
00:57:16,560 --> 00:57:19,200
Speaker 1: this Sunday. I think Trevor Lawrence is gonna he's gonna

1114
00:57:19,240 --> 00:57:21,920
Speaker 1: get some of his all right, I'll be shocked. If

1115
00:57:21,920 --> 00:57:24,720
Speaker 1: they don't go deep to DJ Chark and get one

1116
00:57:24,920 --> 00:57:27,320
Speaker 1: or maybe two big plays out of him. But I

1117
00:57:27,440 --> 00:57:31,440
Speaker 1: think over the course of time, third and fourth quarter,

1118
00:57:32,120 --> 00:57:36,800
Speaker 1: the stronger team, the better conditioned team, the more physical team,

1119
00:57:37,040 --> 00:57:39,440
Speaker 1: will prevail in this game. And I'm hoping it's the Texans.

1120
00:57:39,520 --> 00:57:42,760
Speaker 1: But it's a long answer to your question, which is, Look,

1121
00:57:42,840 --> 00:57:45,600
Speaker 1: they felt it was the right thing to do. Robie

1122
00:57:45,640 --> 00:57:49,040
Speaker 1: wasn't gonna play this Sunday anyway. Like Kelly said, Let's

1123
00:57:49,040 --> 00:57:51,480
Speaker 1: see what they got. And I don't think they're done, Johnny.

1124
00:57:51,520 --> 00:57:55,840
Speaker 1: You know that Nick is looking everywhere for improvement on

1125
00:57:55,960 --> 00:57:58,840
Speaker 1: the back end to get the best possible players back there.

1126
00:57:59,000 --> 00:58:01,200
Speaker 1: He traded for two guys two weeks ago and then

1127
00:58:01,280 --> 00:58:03,440
Speaker 1: cut him because map you know what, I took a

1128
00:58:03,520 --> 00:58:05,840
Speaker 1: shot didn't work out. I'm gonna take more shots. And

1129
00:58:05,960 --> 00:58:09,520
Speaker 1: he continues to do that, no doubt. Now you mention

1130
00:58:09,560 --> 00:58:13,200
Speaker 1: one of those guys, DJ Chark. I have said every

1131
00:58:13,560 --> 00:58:15,800
Speaker 1: single time I've ridden know your phone, my keys to

1132
00:58:15,880 --> 00:58:20,120
Speaker 1: the game. You gotta keep Chark in front. What else

1133
00:58:20,280 --> 00:58:23,440
Speaker 1: about the Jags do we need to know? Well? Dpcity

1134
00:58:23,640 --> 00:58:27,120
Speaker 1: goes behind enemy sidelines with JP shatterck next right here

Speaker 1: I talked to you twice a year. It's week one.

1145
00:59:09,800 --> 00:59:12,280
Speaker 1: You've got to be excited the Jaguars opening up the

1146
00:59:12,440 --> 00:59:14,520
Speaker 1: Urban Meyer era and the Trevor Lawrence era right here

1147
00:59:14,560 --> 00:59:17,480
Speaker 1: at Energy Stadium on Sunday. It's been a long time coming. DP.

1148
00:59:17,640 --> 00:59:19,440
Speaker 1: It's always great to visit with you. And here we

1149
00:59:19,520 --> 00:59:22,240
Speaker 1: are on kickoff weekend, finally and one an offseason it's

1150
00:59:22,280 --> 00:59:26,120
Speaker 1: been for the Jaguars organization. First of all, finishing one

1151
00:59:26,160 --> 00:59:28,880
Speaker 1: and fifteen, which is not great, but that means the

1152
00:59:29,000 --> 00:59:31,880
Speaker 1: number one overall pick is coming and people pretty much

1153
00:59:31,960 --> 00:59:33,960
Speaker 1: do right away no matter who the coach was going

1154
00:59:34,040 --> 00:59:36,600
Speaker 1: to be that, Trevor Lawrence was going to be the pick,

1155
00:59:36,680 --> 00:59:38,640
Speaker 1: and then Urban Meyer comes in. One of the all

1156
00:59:38,720 --> 00:59:41,240
Speaker 1: time winning is head coaches in college football, has a

1157
00:59:41,360 --> 00:59:44,000
Speaker 1: history just down the road of Gainesville as well, So

1158
00:59:44,400 --> 00:59:46,160
Speaker 1: you know, it's a big swing by ownership to go

1159
00:59:46,200 --> 00:59:48,280
Speaker 1: out and get Urban Meyer in here to reestablish the

1160
00:59:48,400 --> 00:59:53,320
Speaker 1: culture and own the jaguarhead logo again. That's the tagline

1161
00:59:53,400 --> 00:59:56,440
Speaker 1: these days from Urban is own it. You know, be

1162
00:59:56,600 --> 00:59:58,920
Speaker 1: proud of that logo again, that's really where it started

1163
00:59:58,960 --> 01:00:01,640
Speaker 1: in the offseason. So we're here now and have a

1164
01:00:01,720 --> 01:00:05,160
Speaker 1: quarterback and play a retool defense, and you know, there's

1165
01:00:05,160 --> 01:00:08,080
Speaker 1: a lot of optimism around Jacksonville right now. Yeah, you know,

1166
01:00:08,160 --> 01:00:10,080
Speaker 1: that's a good point. I do feel like there's so

1167
01:00:10,200 --> 01:00:12,760
Speaker 1: much optimism. You know, after finishing one in fifteen, getting

1168
01:00:12,760 --> 01:00:14,640
Speaker 1: that a more on overall pick a new head coach,

1169
01:00:15,120 --> 01:00:17,560
Speaker 1: How does that change the expectations? I always find that

1170
01:00:17,680 --> 01:00:20,880
Speaker 1: so interesting because while there's a lot of optimism, our

1171
01:00:21,000 --> 01:00:24,840
Speaker 1: expectations high or what are people expecting of this Jaguars

1172
01:00:24,840 --> 01:00:27,280
Speaker 1: team in twenty twenty one? I think it depends on

1173
01:00:27,400 --> 01:00:30,200
Speaker 1: who you ask. There's a part of I guess every

1174
01:00:30,280 --> 01:00:32,840
Speaker 1: fan base, but certainly the Jaguars fan base, thanks are

1175
01:00:32,880 --> 01:00:36,160
Speaker 1: going seventeen or oh this year at reality might set

1176
01:00:36,240 --> 01:00:38,480
Speaker 1: in pretty quick here as a team still that went

1177
01:00:38,520 --> 01:00:40,280
Speaker 1: one in fifteen. There are a lot of new parts

1178
01:00:40,360 --> 01:00:42,440
Speaker 1: around here. You know. A few weeks ago at the

1179
01:00:42,480 --> 01:00:45,240
Speaker 1: start of the preseason, Jaguars owner Shot con joined us

1180
01:00:45,240 --> 01:00:47,720
Speaker 1: on pregame radio and I asked him a similar question,

1181
01:00:47,840 --> 01:00:51,040
Speaker 1: what are your expectations for this season and beyond? And

1182
01:00:51,120 --> 01:00:56,280
Speaker 1: he said, sustainable success year over year improvement. What does

1183
01:00:56,320 --> 01:00:58,720
Speaker 1: that mean for year one? Didn't have an answer for that,

1184
01:00:59,360 --> 01:01:02,360
Speaker 1: but you know, at some point set the foundation and

1185
01:01:02,520 --> 01:01:05,680
Speaker 1: then in the years to come, be a consistent football

1186
01:01:05,720 --> 01:01:08,280
Speaker 1: team that is in the hunt for the playoffs and

1187
01:01:08,480 --> 01:01:11,000
Speaker 1: beyond every year. So that might not be right away.

1188
01:01:11,200 --> 01:01:12,760
Speaker 1: There might be some bumps in the road with a

1189
01:01:12,840 --> 01:01:16,520
Speaker 1: rookie quarterback and a new NFL head coach, you know,

1190
01:01:16,920 --> 01:01:19,920
Speaker 1: but you know, if they get something going early, you

1191
01:01:20,000 --> 01:01:22,720
Speaker 1: get a little momentum. You do have some veteran players

1192
01:01:22,760 --> 01:01:26,000
Speaker 1: around on this team too, you never know. That's the expectation.

1193
01:01:26,080 --> 01:01:30,320
Speaker 1: I think, just set the foundation. Everything I think DP

1194
01:01:30,760 --> 01:01:34,760
Speaker 1: revolves around the quarterback. Anything you do is to get

1195
01:01:34,880 --> 01:01:38,880
Speaker 1: him right or get him improved or help him move

1196
01:01:38,920 --> 01:01:42,160
Speaker 1: along to the next week, whatever that is, because he

1197
01:01:42,400 --> 01:01:45,240
Speaker 1: is your ten to fifteen year quarterback. At least that's

1198
01:01:45,280 --> 01:01:47,840
Speaker 1: the idea right now here in Jacksonville. All right, So

1199
01:01:47,960 --> 01:01:50,640
Speaker 1: it's all going to happen with urban Meyer. Obviously so

1200
01:01:50,800 --> 01:01:53,200
Speaker 1: much success in college. You know, what is he like

1201
01:01:53,320 --> 01:01:55,400
Speaker 1: as an NFL head coach? Did you have to adapt

1202
01:01:55,440 --> 01:01:57,840
Speaker 1: his style at all? What was that transition like going

1203
01:01:57,920 --> 01:01:59,880
Speaker 1: from college NFL? Or is he the same guy that

1204
01:02:00,000 --> 01:02:03,120
Speaker 1: we've seen through all those years in college? Well, you know,

1205
01:02:03,280 --> 01:02:06,440
Speaker 1: in the years in college, it's a different environment. You're

1206
01:02:06,480 --> 01:02:09,040
Speaker 1: dealing with teenagers. First of all, you know, eighteen nineteen

1207
01:02:09,120 --> 01:02:10,960
Speaker 1: year olds when they come in, you're sitting in a

1208
01:02:11,000 --> 01:02:13,520
Speaker 1: living room when the kids sixteen trying to get him

1209
01:02:13,560 --> 01:02:16,680
Speaker 1: to come there. Now you're dealing with twenty three, four

1210
01:02:16,760 --> 01:02:20,640
Speaker 1: or five year olds or older in many instances, and

1211
01:02:20,800 --> 01:02:24,360
Speaker 1: they've been around the league, and okay, maybe the messaging

1212
01:02:24,520 --> 01:02:28,600
Speaker 1: might be a little bit different, but the messaging is

1213
01:02:28,640 --> 01:02:31,200
Speaker 1: what urban Meyer really hung his head on, and the

1214
01:02:31,600 --> 01:02:35,360
Speaker 1: attention to detail and preparation every week, that's not going

1215
01:02:35,440 --> 01:02:37,520
Speaker 1: to change from urban I mean, the guy's written books

1216
01:02:37,560 --> 01:02:41,200
Speaker 1: on organizational theory and how to get a football team

1217
01:02:41,240 --> 01:02:44,400
Speaker 1: ready to play. That's what he knows. And you know,

1218
01:02:44,480 --> 01:02:48,000
Speaker 1: there might be occasionally a veteran that might Okay, it

1219
01:02:48,400 --> 01:02:51,240
Speaker 1: might be said a different way, it's still the same

1220
01:02:51,320 --> 01:02:54,600
Speaker 1: idea I think that he'll have in college, and for

1221
01:02:54,760 --> 01:02:57,200
Speaker 1: some reason down the road there's a veteran or somebody

1222
01:02:57,240 --> 01:02:59,720
Speaker 1: that just can't handle it or is not happy, they'll

1223
01:02:59,720 --> 01:03:01,280
Speaker 1: find somebody else to do it. That's the way it's

1224
01:03:01,280 --> 01:03:02,959
Speaker 1: gonna be. Urban's going to be here for a while.

1225
01:03:03,040 --> 01:03:06,720
Speaker 1: It's his organization now. He believes in certain way things

1226
01:03:06,760 --> 01:03:10,800
Speaker 1: are done organizationally, and as time comes along in the NFL,

1227
01:03:11,480 --> 01:03:13,720
Speaker 1: he might adjust some of that just because of the

1228
01:03:13,800 --> 01:03:17,200
Speaker 1: personalities involved. But as of right now, he's really kind

1229
01:03:17,240 --> 01:03:19,280
Speaker 1: of setting the tone there now. I will say he

1230
01:03:19,480 --> 01:03:22,680
Speaker 1: is very close to the players. It feels like Shod

1231
01:03:22,760 --> 01:03:25,640
Speaker 1: Khan the owner, and Urban Meyer in the offseason and

1232
01:03:26,280 --> 01:03:28,680
Speaker 1: the GM Trent Bak he all made a point to

1233
01:03:28,960 --> 01:03:31,720
Speaker 1: give everything the players need to be right all this

1234
01:03:31,880 --> 01:03:36,840
Speaker 1: rejuvenation things, and they've added a lot of infrastructure here

1235
01:03:36,880 --> 01:03:39,560
Speaker 1: in the building to help players get right and want

1236
01:03:39,560 --> 01:03:41,840
Speaker 1: to keep them around here and not have to go

1237
01:03:41,920 --> 01:03:44,400
Speaker 1: spend their own money somewhere else to go get right

1238
01:03:44,440 --> 01:03:47,560
Speaker 1: after a football game. That's step one, and Urban has

1239
01:03:47,600 --> 01:03:50,520
Speaker 1: a pretty good relationship with a lot of the veteran

1240
01:03:50,600 --> 01:03:52,800
Speaker 1: guys on this team and brings a few of those

1241
01:03:52,840 --> 01:03:55,120
Speaker 1: guys in on a weekly basis to get their ideas

1242
01:03:55,160 --> 01:03:58,000
Speaker 1: and how to approach things maybe differently. So he's not

1243
01:03:58,120 --> 01:04:00,760
Speaker 1: just going in, you know, flying lined and hey, this

1244
01:04:00,960 --> 01:04:03,000
Speaker 1: is my way. He is listening to a lot of things.

1245
01:04:03,040 --> 01:04:04,240
Speaker 1: But I think at the end of the day, what

1246
01:04:04,400 --> 01:04:06,480
Speaker 1: he feels is right. He's what he's going to do.

1247
01:04:06,840 --> 01:04:10,480
Speaker 1: He's going to get every every bit of information he

1248
01:04:10,560 --> 01:04:12,600
Speaker 1: can from people who've been around the league, which he

1249
01:04:12,680 --> 01:04:14,880
Speaker 1: did before we got the job, and now that's even

1250
01:04:14,920 --> 01:04:18,120
Speaker 1: the case. Now all right, what about Trevor Lawrence? Because

1251
01:04:18,360 --> 01:04:20,600
Speaker 1: you know, when Ota started, it seemed like he was

1252
01:04:20,680 --> 01:04:23,800
Speaker 1: under microscope. Everybody was dissecting every single throw, all of

1253
01:04:23,840 --> 01:04:26,520
Speaker 1: his performances. You've been there the whole time. So when

1254
01:04:26,560 --> 01:04:28,880
Speaker 1: you look back and look at the forest through the trees,

1255
01:04:28,960 --> 01:04:31,120
Speaker 1: you know, where have you seen the most growth from him,

1256
01:04:31,160 --> 01:04:33,080
Speaker 1: the most improvement? You know, what does he still need

1257
01:04:33,120 --> 01:04:36,480
Speaker 1: to work on? Trevor? Is everything that's been advertised? I

1258
01:04:36,560 --> 01:04:38,400
Speaker 1: think so far. You know, he's going to have a

1259
01:04:38,480 --> 01:04:42,040
Speaker 1: pretty good handle of how the offense is going, and

1260
01:04:42,680 --> 01:04:44,680
Speaker 1: you know, getting the ball out to the right place.

1261
01:04:44,880 --> 01:04:47,080
Speaker 1: And he can make pretty much every throw in the field,

1262
01:04:47,120 --> 01:04:49,120
Speaker 1: at least so far we've seen in practice, which is

1263
01:04:49,200 --> 01:04:54,080
Speaker 1: great news. I think the speed will be interesting to watch. Yes,

1264
01:04:54,240 --> 01:04:56,080
Speaker 1: he was in the ACC and yes he had a

1265
01:04:56,120 --> 01:04:59,440
Speaker 1: lot of success at a high level, and but that's

1266
01:04:59,480 --> 01:05:01,760
Speaker 1: a lot of time. The first time out against a

1267
01:05:01,880 --> 01:05:06,080
Speaker 1: true NFL defense, not a second team preseason defense anymore.

1268
01:05:07,120 --> 01:05:10,320
Speaker 1: A half STEP's a big deal. Can he anticipate certain

1269
01:05:10,400 --> 01:05:13,560
Speaker 1: things in the regular season that might come his way?

1270
01:05:14,680 --> 01:05:16,920
Speaker 1: You know, it feels like he has it above the

1271
01:05:16,960 --> 01:05:19,480
Speaker 1: shoulders to deal with that. But I think there will

1272
01:05:19,480 --> 01:05:21,920
Speaker 1: be some times where he throws interceptions. I mean, you

1273
01:05:22,040 --> 01:05:25,080
Speaker 1: look at actually went this week and looked at number

1274
01:05:25,160 --> 01:05:29,160
Speaker 1: one overall pick quarterbacks, and in the common draft era

1275
01:05:29,320 --> 01:05:33,080
Speaker 1: from sixty seven to now, there have been twenty five

1276
01:05:33,360 --> 01:05:37,840
Speaker 1: previous number one overall pick quarterbacks in their first career start,

1277
01:05:38,400 --> 01:05:43,240
Speaker 1: four wins, twenty losses, and one tie, and none of

1278
01:05:43,360 --> 01:05:46,800
Speaker 1: them performed well even in the wins. So there's gonna

1279
01:05:46,840 --> 01:05:49,880
Speaker 1: be a little bit of growing that happens with Laurence.

1280
01:05:50,080 --> 01:05:52,360
Speaker 1: He's gonna throw some interceptions. It might not look great

1281
01:05:52,400 --> 01:05:55,080
Speaker 1: at times, but you know there are times where he's

1282
01:05:55,120 --> 01:05:57,560
Speaker 1: going to be able to overcome that with his arm,

1283
01:05:57,640 --> 01:06:00,520
Speaker 1: talent down the field, and the guys you have outside

1284
01:06:00,560 --> 01:06:03,720
Speaker 1: on offense. I'm confident in him. I'm confident in his

1285
01:06:03,800 --> 01:06:07,080
Speaker 1: ability to learn the offense. Just adapt when things aren't

1286
01:06:07,120 --> 01:06:10,000
Speaker 1: going well. If he has to use his legs, he

1287
01:06:10,120 --> 01:06:14,360
Speaker 1: can do that too. Just trust the people around you.

1288
01:06:14,520 --> 01:06:16,960
Speaker 1: I think that's probably the thing with Lawrence. He's got

1289
01:06:17,000 --> 01:06:19,400
Speaker 1: a veteran offensive line to help him out and some

1290
01:06:19,920 --> 01:06:23,600
Speaker 1: veteran players outside as skill players that he can lean on. Here.

1291
01:06:24,240 --> 01:06:26,840
Speaker 1: JP forgot to mention who the last number one overall

1292
01:06:26,880 --> 01:06:30,520
Speaker 1: pick was that wonder NFL debut. I believe you tweeted

1293
01:06:30,560 --> 01:06:34,320
Speaker 1: it out. The last one was David Carr back in

1294
01:06:34,400 --> 01:06:37,000
Speaker 1: two thousand and two with the Houston Texas. Right, he

1295
01:06:37,040 --> 01:06:39,320
Speaker 1: didn't perform well that day either, deeply, it didn't matter.

1296
01:06:39,400 --> 01:06:41,640
Speaker 1: We'll take the win. It was against the Cowboys. It

1297
01:06:41,680 --> 01:06:43,560
Speaker 1: was Sunday night football. I was actually at the game,

1298
01:06:43,680 --> 01:06:46,200
Speaker 1: not working, but as a fan, and it was probably

1299
01:06:46,240 --> 01:06:49,000
Speaker 1: one of my favorite favorite NFL memories because it was

1300
01:06:49,120 --> 01:06:51,040
Speaker 1: that was a lot of fun. All right. So Trevor

1301
01:06:51,120 --> 01:06:53,720
Speaker 1: Lawrence is a starting quarterback. Urban Meyer announced it, but

1302
01:06:53,800 --> 01:06:55,800
Speaker 1: there seemed to be some hesitation before he announced his

1303
01:06:55,840 --> 01:06:58,840
Speaker 1: starting quarterback in camp. Was that just a matter of

1304
01:06:59,320 --> 01:07:02,960
Speaker 1: giving Lawrens enough time or did something change? Did he

1305
01:07:03,040 --> 01:07:05,080
Speaker 1: want to see something out of his young quarterback before

1306
01:07:05,080 --> 01:07:07,600
Speaker 1: he named him the starter. I think he gave his

1307
01:07:07,720 --> 01:07:09,920
Speaker 1: word to Gardner Minshew the second that he would give

1308
01:07:10,000 --> 01:07:12,400
Speaker 1: him an opportunity in camp to go work out with

1309
01:07:12,480 --> 01:07:16,160
Speaker 1: the Ones. And Urban actually said that early when the

1310
01:07:16,560 --> 01:07:19,240
Speaker 1: thing first started, it wasn't a great relationship with Gardner

1311
01:07:19,320 --> 01:07:22,600
Speaker 1: Minshew because you know, they just drafted the number one

1312
01:07:22,640 --> 01:07:24,880
Speaker 1: overall quarterback and he had he read the riding on

1313
01:07:24,960 --> 01:07:28,440
Speaker 1: the wall. But as time went along, they the relationship

1314
01:07:28,560 --> 01:07:31,600
Speaker 1: grew a little bit. Urban and Gardner and he said, hey,

1315
01:07:31,640 --> 01:07:32,840
Speaker 1: we're gonna give you a chance to go out with

1316
01:07:32,880 --> 01:07:36,520
Speaker 1: the ones do some things. Those chances came and went,

1317
01:07:36,720 --> 01:07:39,480
Speaker 1: and they didn't really go that well, and it was

1318
01:07:39,520 --> 01:07:43,960
Speaker 1: pretty clear that obviously Trevor Lawrence was a lot better

1319
01:07:44,040 --> 01:07:47,520
Speaker 1: in those situations than Gardner Minshew. So he held up

1320
01:07:47,560 --> 01:07:50,880
Speaker 1: his end of the bargain. Gardner had his opportunity. They

1321
01:07:51,000 --> 01:07:53,120
Speaker 1: traded him on for a sixth round pick, maybe a

1322
01:07:53,200 --> 01:07:55,240
Speaker 1: fifth if he plays in three games half of three

1323
01:07:55,280 --> 01:07:58,160
Speaker 1: games this year, So you move on, and that's fine.

1324
01:07:58,200 --> 01:07:59,800
Speaker 1: I think that's what it was all about. It was

1325
01:08:00,000 --> 01:08:03,040
Speaker 1: always Trevor's job. I think they put it out there

1326
01:08:03,080 --> 01:08:05,480
Speaker 1: as Okay, Trevor has to go out and perform. He

1327
01:08:05,560 --> 01:08:07,960
Speaker 1: can't just lollygag through the preseason. You still have to

1328
01:08:08,000 --> 01:08:10,680
Speaker 1: go perform and play, all right. Well, the Texans have

1329
01:08:10,840 --> 01:08:15,160
Speaker 1: five running backs on their roster right now, and the

1330
01:08:15,320 --> 01:08:17,920
Speaker 1: Jags only have three, two of which performer Texans Carlos

1331
01:08:18,000 --> 01:08:20,160
Speaker 1: Heid and dari A Goobol. And it looks like Duke

1332
01:08:20,240 --> 01:08:22,960
Speaker 1: Johnson is on the practice squad there, and of course

1333
01:08:23,200 --> 01:08:25,640
Speaker 1: James Robinson, the undrafted now in his second year. What

1334
01:08:25,760 --> 01:08:27,400
Speaker 1: do you expect out of that run game? Are they

1335
01:08:27,520 --> 01:08:30,760
Speaker 1: going to rely more on Trevor's mobility or do you

1336
01:08:30,880 --> 01:08:33,880
Speaker 1: foresee a three down back there for Jacksonville. Well, Urban

1337
01:08:34,040 --> 01:08:36,760
Speaker 1: on Monday said that, yeah, there will not be any

1338
01:08:36,880 --> 01:08:40,280
Speaker 1: called runs for Trevor Lawrence. You know, as much as

1339
01:08:40,360 --> 01:08:43,160
Speaker 1: he you might want to do that with his past

1340
01:08:43,280 --> 01:08:46,680
Speaker 1: offenses in college, they've got other people they pay to

1341
01:08:46,800 --> 01:08:50,639
Speaker 1: do that now, and then Trevor's an important piece, let's say,

1342
01:08:50,680 --> 01:08:53,519
Speaker 1: of the offense. So yeah, James Robinson going in the

1343
01:08:53,600 --> 01:08:56,400
Speaker 1: year two. The entire offensive line is back deeply. They're

1344
01:08:56,479 --> 01:08:59,599
Speaker 1: very confident in that front five from left to right

1345
01:08:59,640 --> 01:09:01,600
Speaker 1: all the way across the board, and they have some

1346
01:09:01,800 --> 01:09:05,080
Speaker 1: younger guys behind those players that can fill in if

1347
01:09:05,200 --> 01:09:08,000
Speaker 1: needed or win needed. So and they ran the ball

1348
01:09:08,080 --> 01:09:09,720
Speaker 1: last year when that's the only thing they could do

1349
01:09:09,920 --> 01:09:11,680
Speaker 1: and they couldn't throw the ball down the field. They

1350
01:09:11,720 --> 01:09:14,360
Speaker 1: had three quarterbacks play last year. All they knew how

1351
01:09:14,400 --> 01:09:16,920
Speaker 1: to do is run the football when teams are stacked

1352
01:09:17,000 --> 01:09:20,200
Speaker 1: up in the box against them. So there's some confidence there.

1353
01:09:20,840 --> 01:09:23,960
Speaker 1: The piece that really hurts his Travis etn done for

1354
01:09:24,040 --> 01:09:25,600
Speaker 1: the year. He was the first round pick at the

1355
01:09:25,720 --> 01:09:28,200
Speaker 1: end of the first round this year and hurt his

1356
01:09:28,280 --> 01:09:30,799
Speaker 1: foot surgery. He's out for the season. He's on ir

1357
01:09:31,000 --> 01:09:33,960
Speaker 1: before the fifty three, so he's done. That was going

1358
01:09:34,040 --> 01:09:36,479
Speaker 1: to be a big piece to spread out this offense. Something.

1359
01:09:36,560 --> 01:09:38,000
Speaker 1: He was going to line up at receiver in the

1360
01:09:38,080 --> 01:09:41,880
Speaker 1: slot pre snap motion things, and he's just not there

1361
01:09:41,960 --> 01:09:44,680
Speaker 1: for that. So how do they filled that role? I

1362
01:09:44,760 --> 01:09:47,240
Speaker 1: don't think he can with one guy. It's a combination

1363
01:09:47,400 --> 01:09:50,439
Speaker 1: of different things in offense. That's why Duke Johnson I

1364
01:09:50,520 --> 01:09:52,400
Speaker 1: think might be here at some point. He's on the

1365
01:09:52,439 --> 01:09:55,240
Speaker 1: practice squad now as a pass catching option out of

1366
01:09:55,240 --> 01:09:58,040
Speaker 1: the backfield. Labiscus Channault might do some of that pre

1367
01:09:58,200 --> 01:10:01,639
Speaker 1: snap motion things. Maybe line up in the backfield, Sammy,

1368
01:10:01,640 --> 01:10:04,280
Speaker 1: he's done that before. It's going to be a by

1369
01:10:04,400 --> 01:10:07,320
Speaker 1: committee to fill what Travis et In I think was

1370
01:10:07,439 --> 01:10:09,960
Speaker 1: going to be for this offense. But the thing is

1371
01:10:10,000 --> 01:10:12,320
Speaker 1: we never saw it, you know, I mean, so they

1372
01:10:12,360 --> 01:10:14,720
Speaker 1: don't have to admit, oh, Travis etn was going to

1373
01:10:14,760 --> 01:10:16,960
Speaker 1: do all these things though they did say that in

1374
01:10:16,960 --> 01:10:20,920
Speaker 1: the off season. So how do they manage that? How

1375
01:10:21,000 --> 01:10:23,840
Speaker 1: do they figure out some wrinkles in this offense around

1376
01:10:23,880 --> 01:10:27,040
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence. I think they've got enough different bodies where

1377
01:10:27,040 --> 01:10:29,360
Speaker 1: they can get by with it. I think early the

1378
01:10:29,520 --> 01:10:33,040
Speaker 1: long term play does it. You might get a weekend

1379
01:10:33,400 --> 01:10:36,160
Speaker 1: and then everybody will have a book on that. How

1380
01:10:36,200 --> 01:10:38,360
Speaker 1: do you adjust as the weeks go on? With limited

1381
01:10:38,439 --> 01:10:41,400
Speaker 1: resources in terms of personnel? All right? I saw the

1382
01:10:41,479 --> 01:10:44,800
Speaker 1: DJ Chark hurt his hand in camp, that is expected

1383
01:10:44,960 --> 01:10:47,240
Speaker 1: back for Week one against the Texans. What does his

1384
01:10:47,400 --> 01:10:50,240
Speaker 1: presence do to sort of boost that offense? And is

1385
01:10:50,280 --> 01:10:52,400
Speaker 1: it much of a concern that he didn't get those

1386
01:10:52,479 --> 01:10:55,360
Speaker 1: reps in camp with Trevor Lawrence. You know, how do

1387
01:10:55,439 --> 01:10:58,040
Speaker 1: you foresee him getting back into the fold. He had

1388
01:10:58,040 --> 01:11:00,280
Speaker 1: a hairline fracture in his middle finger on his right

1389
01:11:00,320 --> 01:11:02,599
Speaker 1: hand early in training camp, so he missed a lot

1390
01:11:02,640 --> 01:11:05,800
Speaker 1: of the preseason. But he was back the last couple

1391
01:11:05,840 --> 01:11:08,280
Speaker 1: of weeks working off to the side in full pads,

1392
01:11:08,439 --> 01:11:10,640
Speaker 1: running routes, and so it was fine. It was a

1393
01:11:11,000 --> 01:11:14,639
Speaker 1: very minor procedure that he had done. So he's confident,

1394
01:11:14,680 --> 01:11:16,920
Speaker 1: and he talked last week he's ready to go and

1395
01:11:17,040 --> 01:11:20,599
Speaker 1: get back and be on time with Trevor and all

1396
01:11:20,640 --> 01:11:22,439
Speaker 1: these things. But you have to go play. That's the

1397
01:11:22,520 --> 01:11:25,840
Speaker 1: one thing now for Chart. They feel like he's the

1398
01:11:25,920 --> 01:11:27,880
Speaker 1: deep threat. He's the guy that can go down the field,

1399
01:11:28,280 --> 01:11:31,560
Speaker 1: can jump up and make those fifty fifty catches and

1400
01:11:31,640 --> 01:11:34,439
Speaker 1: all those things. It is a big year for DJ.

1401
01:11:34,920 --> 01:11:37,280
Speaker 1: It's his contract year. It's a fourth year for him

1402
01:11:37,720 --> 01:11:40,400
Speaker 1: as a second round pick, and he has a Pro

1403
01:11:40,479 --> 01:11:42,960
Speaker 1: Bowl on his resume already. He'd love to have another

1404
01:11:43,000 --> 01:11:45,320
Speaker 1: one in a contract year, so this is a big

1405
01:11:45,439 --> 01:11:48,040
Speaker 1: moment for him and I think they had a pretty

1406
01:11:48,080 --> 01:11:50,960
Speaker 1: good off season together. Chark and Lawrence and the crew

1407
01:11:51,000 --> 01:11:53,599
Speaker 1: were all together they went up to Clemson and did

1408
01:11:53,680 --> 01:11:55,559
Speaker 1: some things in the off season on their own, which

1409
01:11:55,640 --> 01:11:58,920
Speaker 1: is a good start, a good sign. I think Chark

1410
01:11:59,080 --> 01:12:01,920
Speaker 1: is going to be okay, I'm just curious. I couldn't

1411
01:12:01,920 --> 01:12:03,920
Speaker 1: tell you a number. What's he going to get this year?

1412
01:12:04,080 --> 01:12:06,880
Speaker 1: What's this offense really going to look like? You really

1413
01:12:06,920 --> 01:12:09,519
Speaker 1: don't know yet because it's all brand new, but you

1414
01:12:09,960 --> 01:12:11,719
Speaker 1: have a pretty good idea if he can stay healthy,

1415
01:12:11,800 --> 01:12:14,320
Speaker 1: that Chart can be that guy down the field with

1416
01:12:14,680 --> 01:12:17,519
Speaker 1: Marvin Jones, and then a veteran player who can run

1417
01:12:17,640 --> 01:12:21,040
Speaker 1: routes crisply and be a reliable presence. And then Chinault

1418
01:12:21,160 --> 01:12:25,040
Speaker 1: is the big, physical receiver. There are different types of bodies,

1419
01:12:25,160 --> 01:12:27,400
Speaker 1: different types of receivers, and Chart is the guy that

1420
01:12:27,479 --> 01:12:29,000
Speaker 1: just didn't have. They didn't have a downfield thread at

1421
01:12:29,000 --> 01:12:30,840
Speaker 1: all in the preseason until the very last game when

1422
01:12:30,880 --> 01:12:33,680
Speaker 1: they had to sign guys off the street to come

1423
01:12:33,760 --> 01:12:35,880
Speaker 1: play and run go routes. Right, they didn't have any

1424
01:12:35,960 --> 01:12:38,160
Speaker 1: of that in the first couple of weeks. Now the

1425
01:12:38,240 --> 01:12:41,280
Speaker 1: four Arsenal's back, there should be some play down the field,

1426
01:12:41,880 --> 01:12:43,320
Speaker 1: all right. I'd be remiss if I didn't ask you

1427
01:12:43,320 --> 01:12:46,000
Speaker 1: about the Jags defense, because obviously they hired a new

1428
01:12:46,080 --> 01:12:49,360
Speaker 1: defensive coordinator like the Texans did. They hired the Ravens

1429
01:12:49,439 --> 01:12:53,280
Speaker 1: D line coach, Joe Cullen. I can't quite figure out

1430
01:12:53,360 --> 01:12:55,560
Speaker 1: if it's a three four or a four three or

1431
01:12:56,040 --> 01:12:59,240
Speaker 1: what it is. But how can you describe this Jaguars

1432
01:12:59,320 --> 01:13:02,080
Speaker 1: defense and what's the transition been like for the players?

1433
01:13:02,560 --> 01:13:05,240
Speaker 1: I guess you'll just have to find out on Sunday DP.

1434
01:13:05,479 --> 01:13:07,200
Speaker 1: That's the how that's going. Of course, it's a three

1435
01:13:07,320 --> 01:13:09,760
Speaker 1: four in the depth chart. Jill Cullen has said they're

1436
01:13:09,760 --> 01:13:12,120
Speaker 1: going to be multiple, so they might have some four

1437
01:13:12,200 --> 01:13:15,719
Speaker 1: down linemen, looks, they might have some two down linemen. Looks,

1438
01:13:15,800 --> 01:13:19,920
Speaker 1: they might have dime packages come in and personnel changes

1439
01:13:19,960 --> 01:13:23,200
Speaker 1: all over the board. That's what they are envisioning here.

1440
01:13:23,800 --> 01:13:26,519
Speaker 1: And remember Baltimore, I mean they blitzed from all over

1441
01:13:26,600 --> 01:13:29,479
Speaker 1: the place. I mean that's probably an idea of what

1442
01:13:29,640 --> 01:13:32,240
Speaker 1: this thing could look like. But it is all new.

1443
01:13:32,320 --> 01:13:34,720
Speaker 1: It's newer than anything on offense. I mean, the entire

1444
01:13:34,840 --> 01:13:36,720
Speaker 1: defensive line for the most part, is new except for

1445
01:13:36,800 --> 01:13:40,440
Speaker 1: Josh Allen and Caleb on Chason. They're now officially outside linebackers.

1446
01:13:41,000 --> 01:13:43,360
Speaker 1: And then you got a new linebacker in the middle.

1447
01:13:43,360 --> 01:13:46,680
Speaker 1: Of Damian Wilson alongside Miles Jack. The middle of the

1448
01:13:46,720 --> 01:13:50,719
Speaker 1: defensive line is all free agency or a young player,

1449
01:13:50,760 --> 01:13:54,320
Speaker 1: and Devona Hamilton at knows tackle. Four out of the

1450
01:13:54,360 --> 01:13:58,120
Speaker 1: five starters in the projected starting secondary are new to

1451
01:13:58,160 --> 01:14:00,800
Speaker 1: the organization. This year's a lot of check. They had

1452
01:14:00,840 --> 01:14:03,600
Speaker 1: like eleven different lineups in the secondary last season, so

1453
01:14:04,040 --> 01:14:08,280
Speaker 1: it was a disaster. So now they feel like they

1454
01:14:08,400 --> 01:14:11,760
Speaker 1: fixed that. We don't know what's it really going to

1455
01:14:11,840 --> 01:14:14,120
Speaker 1: look like. How much does Jill call in one of blitz,

1456
01:14:14,240 --> 01:14:17,280
Speaker 1: What kind of matchups can he change each week? I

1457
01:14:17,400 --> 01:14:19,439
Speaker 1: think it could be a week to week kind of defense.

1458
01:14:19,560 --> 01:14:22,320
Speaker 1: They might have different looks depending on the scenario. They're

1459
01:14:22,360 --> 01:14:24,040
Speaker 1: not just going to be the Steelers and roll out

1460
01:14:24,120 --> 01:14:27,160
Speaker 1: three four every week no matter what for twenty years.

1461
01:14:27,240 --> 01:14:29,880
Speaker 1: That's not that's we're by God, we're the Steelers. That's

1462
01:14:29,960 --> 01:14:32,720
Speaker 1: what we do. That's not the feel here. I think

1463
01:14:32,760 --> 01:14:35,000
Speaker 1: they're gonna just week to week and depending on the

1464
01:14:35,040 --> 01:14:37,720
Speaker 1: personnel and the matchups, you might see a different looking front,

1465
01:14:37,760 --> 01:14:41,000
Speaker 1: different looking setup every week. All right, So the Jags

1466
01:14:41,000 --> 01:14:43,479
Speaker 1: added a lot of free agents, much like the Texans.

1467
01:14:43,760 --> 01:14:45,800
Speaker 1: If you had to pick heading into twenty twenty one,

1468
01:14:46,040 --> 01:14:48,000
Speaker 1: the one free agent acquisition that you think is going

1469
01:14:48,040 --> 01:14:50,760
Speaker 1: to make the biggest impact on the Jags team. Who

1470
01:14:50,800 --> 01:14:54,519
Speaker 1: would it be biggest free agent acquisition? Well, I mean

1471
01:14:54,560 --> 01:14:57,360
Speaker 1: we talked about the secondary. Shaq Griffin got a lot

1472
01:14:57,400 --> 01:14:59,040
Speaker 1: of money to come in here and free agency at

1473
01:14:59,120 --> 01:15:02,200
Speaker 1: cornerback and that's a position where they really need it.

1474
01:15:02,280 --> 01:15:05,799
Speaker 1: And you know CJ. Henderson has had an inconsistent offseason

1475
01:15:05,880 --> 01:15:07,720
Speaker 1: on and off the field. Is he ready to go?

1476
01:15:07,960 --> 01:15:09,960
Speaker 1: That's a big question mark. On the other side. If not,

1477
01:15:10,240 --> 01:15:12,960
Speaker 1: then the role of Shatt Griffin is that much bigger

1478
01:15:13,080 --> 01:15:16,800
Speaker 1: because he's really the top guy outside. So i'd say him.

1479
01:15:17,840 --> 01:15:20,320
Speaker 1: Ray Shawn Jenkins at safety is another one of those

1480
01:15:20,439 --> 01:15:22,280
Speaker 1: that came in. He's going to start right away, it

1481
01:15:22,360 --> 01:15:26,040
Speaker 1: feels like, which is big. And then on the defensive line, right,

1482
01:15:26,520 --> 01:15:28,680
Speaker 1: Roy Robertson Harris came in from the Bears. That's a

1483
01:15:28,720 --> 01:15:31,160
Speaker 1: big hit. They actually traded for Malcolm Brown, but I

1484
01:15:31,200 --> 01:15:33,599
Speaker 1: would count him in that as a new guy also,

1485
01:15:34,200 --> 01:15:37,960
Speaker 1: So that's on defense. Marvin Jones, right, I mean, tenth

1486
01:15:38,040 --> 01:15:40,040
Speaker 1: year player at wide receiver, was at the Lions the

1487
01:15:40,120 --> 01:15:43,160
Speaker 1: last couple of years and had some solid, strong numbers

1488
01:15:43,200 --> 01:15:45,519
Speaker 1: actually for a guy in his ninth year then now

1489
01:15:45,600 --> 01:15:49,200
Speaker 1: going into year number ten, veteran presence gets it. Good

1490
01:15:49,280 --> 01:15:52,320
Speaker 1: for a young quarterback, good for a younger wide receiver room.

1491
01:15:53,120 --> 01:15:54,479
Speaker 1: That's a few. I mean, they spend a lot of

1492
01:15:54,479 --> 01:15:56,400
Speaker 1: money in free agencies, so I could go all day

1493
01:15:56,479 --> 01:15:59,920
Speaker 1: on this topic a JP, thanks so much, JP of

1494
01:16:00,000 --> 01:16:03,000
Speaker 1: the Jaguars Radio Network, also on Touch Touchdown Radio calling

1495
01:16:03,040 --> 01:16:04,679
Speaker 1: college games. JP, where are you going to be calling

1496
01:16:04,720 --> 01:16:08,120
Speaker 1: college games from this weekend? Well, this week we'll be

1497
01:16:08,160 --> 01:16:10,719
Speaker 1: at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa as the South Florida

1498
01:16:10,800 --> 01:16:14,280
Speaker 1: Bulls play host to the number eleven Florida Gators, and

1499
01:16:14,520 --> 01:16:16,720
Speaker 1: South Florida has not scored a point this season. They

1500
01:16:16,760 --> 01:16:19,799
Speaker 1: were shut out last week against NC State. The Gators

1501
01:16:19,880 --> 01:16:23,280
Speaker 1: had four hundred yards rushing last week, and they're opener

1502
01:16:23,320 --> 01:16:27,280
Speaker 1: against Florida Atlantic, including Anthony Richards in the backup quarterback

1503
01:16:27,400 --> 01:16:30,040
Speaker 1: with about a buck sixty on his own. So it'll

1504
01:16:30,040 --> 01:16:32,240
Speaker 1: be a fun environment at one o'clock Saturday at Raymond

1505
01:16:32,320 --> 01:16:34,400
Speaker 1: James Stadium, and Tampa had a lot of fun listening

1506
01:16:34,439 --> 01:16:37,040
Speaker 1: to you in that Alabama Miami game last week as well,

1507
01:16:37,160 --> 01:16:39,880
Speaker 1: so JP, always a pleasure. And then Sunday you'll be

1508
01:16:39,920 --> 01:16:41,519
Speaker 1: covering our game as we look to kick off this

1509
01:16:41,560 --> 01:16:44,400
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one season. Always a pleasure chatting JP DP.

1510
01:16:44,560 --> 01:16:46,760
Speaker 1: It's always a pleasure to talk with you, and thanks

1511
01:16:46,760 --> 01:16:49,680
Speaker 1: for having me on again. The dulcet based tone in

01:16:53,640 --> 01:16:55,840
Speaker 1: and also called college football games. I think he called

1514
01:16:55,880 --> 01:16:59,560
Speaker 1: Alabama Miami four. I believe it's called Touchdown USA for

1515
01:16:59,640 --> 01:17:03,559
Speaker 1: their at work, does great stuff. Absolutely love JP. Great,

1516
01:17:03,640 --> 01:17:06,559
Speaker 1: great guy and awesome to catch up with him. Another

1517
01:17:06,600 --> 01:17:08,840
Speaker 1: great guys, Grew Dorty, and he and I do the

1518
01:17:08,880 --> 01:17:11,560
Speaker 1: in the Lab podcast. We'll have a little bit of

1519
01:17:11,640 --> 01:17:14,360
Speaker 1: that podcast for you next. Right here in Texas All Access,

1520
01:17:18,920 --> 01:17:22,080
Speaker 1: We've got one final segment of this Wednesday edition of

1521
01:17:22,200 --> 01:17:25,559
Speaker 1: Texans All Access from the Honday Texas Radio Studio. I'm

1522
01:17:25,640 --> 01:17:29,520
Speaker 1: your host, John Harris, and each and every week myself

1523
01:17:29,800 --> 01:17:32,120
Speaker 1: and my good friend Drew Dorty sit down and we

1524
01:17:32,320 --> 01:17:36,800
Speaker 1: talk about all things going on in Texans football world.

1525
01:17:36,960 --> 01:17:39,840
Speaker 1: Sometimes we geek out on numbers. Sometimes we do these

1526
01:17:40,000 --> 01:17:42,960
Speaker 1: wild drafts and they're very very fun. Sometimes we just

1527
01:17:43,320 --> 01:17:46,920
Speaker 1: dive in and start talking about the upcoming matchup, and

1528
01:17:47,080 --> 01:17:49,880
Speaker 1: that is what we did on this in the Lab.

1529
01:17:50,000 --> 01:17:54,040
Speaker 1: Take a listen, Holy Molly John, can you believe this?

1530
01:17:54,200 --> 01:17:57,880
Speaker 1: Since slept first time since like late December, we've done

1531
01:17:57,960 --> 01:18:01,280
Speaker 1: one of these An in the Lab Game week because

1532
01:18:01,280 --> 01:18:04,240
Speaker 1: it's game week, baby, it is game week. Finally, it

1533
01:18:04,360 --> 01:18:07,719
Speaker 1: feels like it feels like it's been two years since

1534
01:18:07,760 --> 01:18:10,400
Speaker 1: we've gone on a field. Yeah, and I know it's

1535
01:18:10,439 --> 01:18:15,080
Speaker 1: just been normal timing wise offseason, but it just fuels

1536
01:18:15,520 --> 01:18:19,320
Speaker 1: and has felt so long, so to get to game week, Yes,

1537
01:18:20,120 --> 01:18:24,360
Speaker 1: let's go finally. Yeah, our old pal Duke Johnson running

1538
01:18:24,360 --> 01:18:26,519
Speaker 1: back for the Texans for a couple of years. He

1539
01:18:26,680 --> 01:18:30,519
Speaker 1: signed with the Jaguars. Very smart move, I think by them.

1540
01:18:30,560 --> 01:18:32,920
Speaker 1: I think he's got he's got some juice in the tank.

1541
01:18:32,960 --> 01:18:35,040
Speaker 1: I think he can play. I think he probably I

1542
01:18:35,080 --> 01:18:37,120
Speaker 1: think we could say he probably wasn't maximized while he

1543
01:18:37,200 --> 01:18:39,800
Speaker 1: was here, so it could be a little bit of

1544
01:18:39,880 --> 01:18:43,680
Speaker 1: an interesting situation there. And then we saw the news

1545
01:18:43,680 --> 01:18:46,360
Speaker 1: about the Texans and Charlie Heck the right tackle going

1546
01:18:46,400 --> 01:18:49,800
Speaker 1: on the COVID nineteen list. That's a real bummer, you know.

1547
01:18:49,880 --> 01:18:51,760
Speaker 1: Marcus Cannon, I think is going to be the guy

1548
01:18:51,880 --> 01:18:55,400
Speaker 1: eventually this season at right tackle, but Charlie Heck had started.

1549
01:18:55,680 --> 01:18:58,080
Speaker 1: He played well in Week seventeen when he started last year,

1550
01:18:58,080 --> 01:19:01,599
Speaker 1: but he had started all the preseason games all through May, June,

1551
01:19:01,720 --> 01:19:04,280
Speaker 1: and August, a little bit of July, and looked like

1552
01:19:04,360 --> 01:19:07,360
Speaker 1: he had had taken a step. So how does that

1553
01:19:07,439 --> 01:19:11,879
Speaker 1: affect things in your eyes? Well, it does And essentially,

1554
01:19:12,120 --> 01:19:14,640
Speaker 1: I think every offensive tackle that we have on this

1555
01:19:14,760 --> 01:19:20,400
Speaker 1: team has has contact, has contacted contracted COVID um. You know,

1556
01:19:20,520 --> 01:19:22,920
Speaker 1: drawn Christian was on the COVID list to start the year,

1557
01:19:23,040 --> 01:19:25,880
Speaker 1: to start the season, and then Laramie got it, and

1558
01:19:26,040 --> 01:19:28,599
Speaker 1: then Charlie Heck got it. So it's kind of run

1559
01:19:28,720 --> 01:19:31,639
Speaker 1: its run its course through the tackle room. If you will,

1560
01:19:32,600 --> 01:19:35,160
Speaker 1: then then you can kind of, I don't know, go

1561
01:19:35,280 --> 01:19:38,360
Speaker 1: with what you want with what position Titus Howard plays.

1562
01:19:39,040 --> 01:19:41,720
Speaker 1: I don't care whether it's guard or tackle. He's just

1563
01:19:41,880 --> 01:19:43,880
Speaker 1: going to be a factor at out of the position.

1564
01:19:43,920 --> 01:19:47,120
Speaker 1: And that's something they'll obviously have to with Charlie going

1565
01:19:47,160 --> 01:19:50,120
Speaker 1: to COVID list. How do they go about figuring out

1566
01:19:50,160 --> 01:19:53,040
Speaker 1: who plays right tackle and if they do move Titus

1567
01:19:53,080 --> 01:19:56,840
Speaker 1: back over to right tackle because they're not totally sure

1568
01:19:56,880 --> 01:19:59,080
Speaker 1: that Marcus is ready or not. And I think that's

1569
01:19:59,120 --> 01:20:01,400
Speaker 1: a big X factor Marcus is ready or not. Now.

1570
01:20:01,960 --> 01:20:05,599
Speaker 1: He hasn't played since January twenty twenty. The Patriots lost

1571
01:20:05,640 --> 01:20:08,960
Speaker 1: that playoff game to the Titans, so he was off

1572
01:20:09,080 --> 01:20:11,800
Speaker 1: last year. But he was not rehabbing an injury last year.

1573
01:20:11,960 --> 01:20:13,599
Speaker 1: He just was rehabbing it in the last how many

1574
01:20:13,640 --> 01:20:16,200
Speaker 1: ever weeks because it's something that came up in and

1575
01:20:16,200 --> 01:20:20,240
Speaker 1: around the off season time. So he hasn't hit anybody.

1576
01:20:20,520 --> 01:20:22,400
Speaker 1: That takes a little bit of time to kind of

1577
01:20:22,439 --> 01:20:25,920
Speaker 1: shake the rust off. But guy's event he's been there.

1578
01:20:26,160 --> 01:20:28,559
Speaker 1: We'll see what they do on Sunday against the Jags

1579
01:20:28,600 --> 01:20:32,800
Speaker 1: at that position. Here's the other aspect, because Charlie is vaccinated.

1580
01:20:33,720 --> 01:20:36,080
Speaker 1: As soon as he can get two positive tests, he

1581
01:20:36,160 --> 01:20:40,280
Speaker 1: can get back into the building. Now if it's Friday

1582
01:20:40,360 --> 01:20:42,519
Speaker 1: Saturday that he can get into the building. I don't

1583
01:20:42,560 --> 01:20:44,439
Speaker 1: know how much you can factor him in having this

1584
01:20:44,560 --> 01:20:49,760
Speaker 1: practice on key days Wednesday and Thursday. But he's been

1585
01:20:49,840 --> 01:20:52,439
Speaker 1: there throughout the off season's been there throughout training camp,

1586
01:20:52,840 --> 01:20:54,880
Speaker 1: so maybe you put him back in. That's going to

1587
01:20:54,960 --> 01:20:58,040
Speaker 1: be one of the key factors is what happens with

1588
01:20:58,240 --> 01:21:03,360
Speaker 1: that offensive line. I do believe the pieces for a

1589
01:21:03,680 --> 01:21:08,519
Speaker 1: really stout, physical offensive line are in the building when

1590
01:21:08,800 --> 01:21:13,360
Speaker 1: all healthy and not COVID did. I think they've got

1591
01:21:13,439 --> 01:21:16,599
Speaker 1: some pieces to do some things up front, but they've

1592
01:21:16,640 --> 01:21:18,760
Speaker 1: got to have everybody healthy to do it. I think

1593
01:21:18,880 --> 01:21:22,960
Speaker 1: Marcus Cannon being healthy and ready to go could change

1594
01:21:23,160 --> 01:21:25,640
Speaker 1: I don't want to say change everything, but man, what

1595
01:21:25,800 --> 01:21:27,920
Speaker 1: that does for you as an offensive line. I don't

1596
01:21:27,960 --> 01:21:30,240
Speaker 1: think they're there yet, but we'll see on Sunday how

1597
01:21:30,320 --> 01:21:32,400
Speaker 1: they go about it. And look if they've got a

1598
01:21:32,479 --> 01:21:35,840
Speaker 1: flip Jerrn Christian over to the other side and play

1599
01:21:35,960 --> 01:21:38,599
Speaker 1: right tackle. That's something I think I've talked about before.

1600
01:21:38,680 --> 01:21:42,719
Speaker 1: When he was at Louisville, their offensive scheme would bounce,

1601
01:21:43,439 --> 01:21:46,640
Speaker 1: quick and strong, meaning if you were going you know,

1602
01:21:46,720 --> 01:21:50,519
Speaker 1: if they if the strong the tight end basically was

1603
01:21:50,560 --> 01:21:52,679
Speaker 1: to the right, he played the quick tackle. He would

1604
01:21:52,680 --> 01:21:54,640
Speaker 1: be opposite that. So if you were strong left, he

1605
01:21:54,640 --> 01:21:56,800
Speaker 1: would line up on the right. If you're strong right,

1606
01:21:56,840 --> 01:21:57,960
Speaker 1: you line up on the left. So he did a

1607
01:21:58,000 --> 01:21:59,560
Speaker 1: little bit of left and right. But I think in

1608
01:21:59,640 --> 01:22:01,720
Speaker 1: the league he's just been on the left side. So

1609
01:22:02,840 --> 01:22:04,840
Speaker 1: that sounds easy to kind of well, it's just left

1610
01:22:04,920 --> 01:22:08,080
Speaker 1: right in the same boy, Yeah, not so much. So

1611
01:22:08,320 --> 01:22:11,320
Speaker 1: let's we'll see how they go about doing it on

1612
01:22:11,479 --> 01:22:15,880
Speaker 1: Sunday against the Jags. I actually thought about this driving

1613
01:22:15,960 --> 01:22:17,640
Speaker 1: up here. You know, I don't know how much you

1614
01:22:17,720 --> 01:22:19,880
Speaker 1: would get out of out of Marcus Cannon. I don't

1615
01:22:19,960 --> 01:22:23,600
Speaker 1: know what the thought process is there. But even if

1616
01:22:23,640 --> 01:22:26,479
Speaker 1: you feel like you've got something but maybe you don't

1617
01:22:26,920 --> 01:22:29,760
Speaker 1: have it all the that's a platoon situation. I know

1618
01:22:30,080 --> 01:22:33,840
Speaker 1: a few years ago they did it with Chris Clark Johnson. Yes,

1619
01:22:33,960 --> 01:22:36,639
Speaker 1: Chris Clarkin, Rod Johnson's right, they had a little platoon situation.

1620
01:22:37,040 --> 01:22:39,360
Speaker 1: It's not an optimum, but you deal with the Handrew

1621
01:22:39,439 --> 01:22:42,000
Speaker 1: dealt and hopefully Charlie can get back soon and kind

1622
01:22:42,040 --> 01:22:44,760
Speaker 1: of get everybody back healthy and then figure out where

1623
01:22:44,760 --> 01:22:47,160
Speaker 1: this thing is going forward. But obviously the immediate need

1624
01:22:47,240 --> 01:22:49,599
Speaker 1: is what they're gonna do against Jacksonville and Caliban Chason

1625
01:22:49,760 --> 01:22:54,519
Speaker 1: and Josh Allen to pretty athletic edge rushers. Yeah, wrapping

1626
01:22:54,600 --> 01:22:57,439
Speaker 1: this point up, had a nice question from deer Drew

1627
01:22:57,560 --> 01:23:00,479
Speaker 1: from one of our fans, and he asked the biggest

1628
01:23:00,560 --> 01:23:03,880
Speaker 1: change with this offensive line aside from the coach, Like,

1629
01:23:03,960 --> 01:23:06,960
Speaker 1: what's the biggest factor? And I said, the four bodies

1630
01:23:07,160 --> 01:23:09,160
Speaker 1: to the right of Laramie Tunsel, because I mean, they're

1631
01:23:09,160 --> 01:23:12,639
Speaker 1: all they're all gonna be different or playing in different

1632
01:23:12,680 --> 01:23:15,200
Speaker 1: positions than they were Week one of last year, unless

1633
01:23:15,240 --> 01:23:17,640
Speaker 1: something happens and you put Titus Howard out there at

1634
01:23:17,680 --> 01:23:19,840
Speaker 1: right tackle. But you just got a new personnel there,

1635
01:23:19,920 --> 01:23:22,800
Speaker 1: and some of them are familiar faces, but they're in

1636
01:23:22,800 --> 01:23:25,840
Speaker 1: a new spots. So that's good stuff. Okay, Jags come

1637
01:23:25,920 --> 01:23:29,960
Speaker 1: to town. They've got the rookie quarterback. Tell me your

1638
01:23:30,560 --> 01:23:33,160
Speaker 1: Texan to watch. We do this on Extra Points, but

1639
01:23:33,320 --> 01:23:34,920
Speaker 1: we also do it on this show, and I enjoy it.

1640
01:23:35,200 --> 01:23:41,439
Speaker 1: But I want to get your Texan to watch for Sunday.

1641
01:23:42,360 --> 01:23:46,000
Speaker 1: And usually before you know, last year, previous few years,

1642
01:23:46,040 --> 01:23:48,719
Speaker 1: we'd say you're texting to watch other than Deshaun Watson

1643
01:23:48,760 --> 01:23:52,479
Speaker 1: because quarterback and on that you're texting to watch this year. Well,

1644
01:23:52,520 --> 01:23:55,200
Speaker 1: it's funny. I wasn't even thinking offense and probably should

1645
01:23:55,280 --> 01:23:57,920
Speaker 1: think offense. I wasn't either. Mine mine's not offensive either,

1646
01:23:58,080 --> 01:24:00,600
Speaker 1: So I hope, I don't hope I don't yours. But

1647
01:24:01,120 --> 01:24:03,559
Speaker 1: this is why I hate going first, because I don't

1648
01:24:03,560 --> 01:24:07,720
Speaker 1: want to steal yours. But MALIEK. Collins, the guy that

1649
01:24:07,840 --> 01:24:10,240
Speaker 1: was a good pen bounce brother, right way, that's that's

1650
01:24:10,240 --> 01:24:12,200
Speaker 1: what I'm gonna say on that's what I'm gonna say

1651
01:24:12,200 --> 01:24:16,040
Speaker 1: on a Texans Extra points Saturday night. Okay, I'll let you.

1652
01:24:16,280 --> 01:24:18,360
Speaker 1: I'll let you keep Millie Collins and let you explain.

1653
01:24:19,560 --> 01:24:23,400
Speaker 1: Let me well here, let me explain. Let a different

1654
01:24:23,400 --> 01:24:27,960
Speaker 1: one and I'll be quick. MALIEK. Collins was a pain

1655
01:24:28,040 --> 01:24:32,240
Speaker 1: in the ass all through camp and in the preseason games.

1656
01:24:32,320 --> 01:24:34,759
Speaker 1: He was a pain in the ass for offensive lineman,

1657
01:24:35,160 --> 01:24:38,360
Speaker 1: as was Roy Lopez in a different way, but MALIEK.

1658
01:24:38,479 --> 01:24:43,639
Speaker 1: Collins consistently was messing things up, whether it's a Texans

1659
01:24:43,680 --> 01:24:48,000
Speaker 1: offense running things or most most notably when they played Dallas.

1660
01:24:49,240 --> 01:24:51,400
Speaker 1: I'm really really excited to see what he can do

1661
01:24:51,479 --> 01:24:54,120
