1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:03,200
Speaker 1: Happy Friday, final week end of spring break. Many of

2
00:00:03,200 --> 00:00:05,520
Speaker 1: you are saying, what break. Some of you are saying,

3
00:00:05,760 --> 00:00:08,039
Speaker 1: thank goodness, I go back to work on Monday after

4
00:00:08,240 --> 00:00:11,119
Speaker 1: a week with the kids. However you regard this weekend

5
00:00:11,280 --> 00:00:14,480
Speaker 1: Happy Friday night, Mark Vandermer with you. It's the radio

6
00:00:14,520 --> 00:00:17,320
Speaker 1: program called Texans All Access here from the Hunday Texans

7
00:00:17,400 --> 00:00:20,479
Speaker 1: Radio studio. John Harris joins me for most of the

8
00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:23,600
Speaker 1: program tonight, and I think, really, when you look at

9
00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:26,279
Speaker 1: us talking to John Trelle Henderson, when you look at

10
00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:28,840
Speaker 1: Johnny talking to Danny Barrett, new Texans running backs coach,

11
00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:31,720
Speaker 1: relatively new, Johnny's gonna be involved in maybe more of

12
00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:33,199
Speaker 1: the show than I am tonight. But that's just how

13
00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:35,479
Speaker 1: we're gonna roll here. How's it going, John? That's okay, man,

14
00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:38,200
Speaker 1: That's the way it's been. And Andrew Texans three sixty

15
00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:41,120
Speaker 1: to Borrow and I too, right. Yeah. And by the way,

16
00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:48,080
Speaker 1: the inaugural Rodeo Houston Carnival game matchup matchup Doherty v. Harris. Yeah,

17
00:00:48,080 --> 00:00:50,159
Speaker 1: that's on Houston Texans dot com. Correct. So you want

18
00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:52,320
Speaker 1: to check that out? Oh, you want to check it out.

19
00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:54,640
Speaker 1: I haven't even I haven't even seen it. Yet I

20
00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:56,640
Speaker 1: didn't know we put it up. I didn't see that

21
00:00:56,680 --> 00:00:58,800
Speaker 1: we had put it up. I was like, I want

22
00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:01,360
Speaker 1: of those video guys. They post stuff. They're so good

23
00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:03,840
Speaker 1: when you least expect it, expect it. Oh, I'll tell

24
00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:06,400
Speaker 1: you the one I liked yesterday, Meet the newest Texans

25
00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:09,080
Speaker 1: and Joe Amroll did that. Did a great job and

26
00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:12,720
Speaker 1: it's a great summary getting to know these guys. My

27
00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:14,600
Speaker 1: wife loved it. My wife is kind of the unofficial

28
00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:17,080
Speaker 1: focus group. You know. She looks at stuff and yeah,

29
00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:20,520
Speaker 1: tells me what she thinks, and she doesn't really follow

30
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:23,080
Speaker 1: it with as close an eye as many of us do.

31
00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:25,520
Speaker 1: So when she sees something, she's like, oh, yeah, we

32
00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:27,240
Speaker 1: signed all those guys. Oh, that looks pretty good. I

33
00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:29,280
Speaker 1: mean she doesn't know these free agents. Yeah, and I

34
00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:32,200
Speaker 1: know a lot of these names. John didn't quite pop

35
00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:34,399
Speaker 1: off the page, like say, a Nate Soldier would look

36
00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:36,680
Speaker 1: Nate Soldier to the average sports fan wouldn't even pop

37
00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:40,000
Speaker 1: off the page. But in this within this free agent class,

38
00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:43,400
Speaker 1: non quarterbacks, and there were no real top flight wide

39
00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:45,720
Speaker 1: receivers out there as well? Am I missing anybody? I

40
00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:48,520
Speaker 1: can't put Sammy Coats who the Texans reportedly got today

41
00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:51,280
Speaker 1: off waivers on that list, Johnny. But talk to me

42
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:53,280
Speaker 1: about Coats here for a moment. One of the Texans

43
00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:57,640
Speaker 1: getting in Sammy a wide receiver, a physical specimen when

44
00:01:57,640 --> 00:01:59,840
Speaker 1: you see him, yo, goal, that's what a receiver looks like.

45
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:03,160
Speaker 1: The problem for Sammy has just been consistent, consistency catching

46
00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:05,240
Speaker 1: the football. That really is all it is for him.

47
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:08,160
Speaker 1: If he can catch the ball consistently, he would end

48
00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:09,800
Speaker 1: up being a player in this league. But he just

49
00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:12,280
Speaker 1: hasn't had a chance to do that or hasn't done it,

50
00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:13,600
Speaker 1: and now he gets an opportuny to do it here

51
00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:16,920
Speaker 1: in Houston. John Perry and all his little drills you see,

52
00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:20,800
Speaker 1: we see them in individuals. They practice catching the ball,

53
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:24,320
Speaker 1: coming through these inflatables and other things that he does.

54
00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:26,680
Speaker 1: And it seems to help these guys anyway. They seem

55
00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:29,000
Speaker 1: to enjoy individuals. There's a lot of talking, a lot

56
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:31,400
Speaker 1: of camaraderie, but I think I've seen some results on

57
00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:33,519
Speaker 1: the field. And look, Will Fuller caught the ball very

58
00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:35,680
Speaker 1: well when he was healthy last year. Yeah, no question.

59
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:38,040
Speaker 1: And to your point yesterday about Brian Gaine, what do

60
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:42,040
Speaker 1: you say, bigger, longer, stronger, Yeah, that's Sammy coats a receiver,

61
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:44,760
Speaker 1: and I get the opportunity to say, play it again,

62
00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:48,160
Speaker 1: Sammy if he scores a touchdown. Because I evaluate guys

63
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:50,320
Speaker 1: that way. Do they have interesting names that I can

64
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:53,040
Speaker 1: use and play by play vernacular? Can I work them

65
00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:56,160
Speaker 1: in somehow chorus It's all about me? This is too

66
00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:58,160
Speaker 1: much for me right now? In as part of the program,

67
00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:00,200
Speaker 1: I did say one thing on the Morning show with

68
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:02,480
Speaker 1: Seth and Mike about Keenam. I said, if a year

69
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:04,040
Speaker 1: ago I told you that Keenom was going to get

70
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:07,640
Speaker 1: big money to sign to someone's franchise quarterback, what would

71
00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:09,519
Speaker 1: you tell me? Would you tell me I'm crazy? Would

72
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:11,280
Speaker 1: you tell me to seek medical attention? What would you

73
00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:13,760
Speaker 1: tell me? I think Keena would have said you were crazy.

74
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:16,280
Speaker 1: I mean, he took the job in Minnesota knowing full

75
00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:20,280
Speaker 1: well that Sam Bradford is already there, that Teddy Bridgewater

76
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:22,680
Speaker 1: was on his way back. Yeah, but he still took

77
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:26,000
Speaker 1: that job and then look what it Look what it

78
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:28,840
Speaker 1: turned out. And to me, what I thought was interesting

79
00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:31,800
Speaker 1: about watching Case from Afar was the fact that every

80
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:34,000
Speaker 1: single week he was being asked, is this your job?

81
00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:35,600
Speaker 1: Are you the guy? Are you the franchise? Are you

82
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:38,280
Speaker 1: gonna be the guy, and he kept saying, I don't know.

83
00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:39,800
Speaker 1: I'm just going out there and playing football. It's a

84
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:41,480
Speaker 1: tough spot to be him. Yeah, and he just kept

85
00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:43,360
Speaker 1: playing ball and playing ball and doing a really good job.

86
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:46,960
Speaker 1: And that part laid that into being number four. Now

87
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:49,760
Speaker 1: with the Denver Broncos, he will be number four because

88
00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:52,040
Speaker 1: I number seven, not number seven. That is warned and

89
00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:54,800
Speaker 1: retired by one John Elway, the man who signed Keith Keenam.

90
00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:56,560
Speaker 1: A lot of people are saying that always should give

91
00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:59,560
Speaker 1: up number seven for Keenom, considering Keenam was an Alway

92
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:01,840
Speaker 1: fantasy kid, and there's a photo going around I think

93
00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:04,600
Speaker 1: Keenum himself tweeted it of him in a Broncos jersey

94
00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:06,520
Speaker 1: when he was a little kid. Well, good for Case.

95
00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:10,080
Speaker 1: I'm glad we've always I don't know how you feel, Mark,

96
00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:12,720
Speaker 1: but we had a chance to get to know Case

97
00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:14,040
Speaker 1: when he was at u of AH. He would come

98
00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:15,880
Speaker 1: on our show and do a weekly interview with us

99
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:19,760
Speaker 1: and was great. And he being of University Houston. I

100
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:21,520
Speaker 1: think there's always this part of me that will cheer

101
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:24,240
Speaker 1: for Case, not in a game we're playing against him.

102
00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:26,360
Speaker 1: So when the Texas played the Broncos this year won't

103
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:28,960
Speaker 1: quite be that way. But I've always wanted a case

104
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:30,679
Speaker 1: to do well. And I have no ties to UH

105
00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:32,200
Speaker 1: other the fact that I live here in the city

106
00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:34,880
Speaker 1: of Houston and want UH to do well. But I've

107
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:37,880
Speaker 1: just always gravitated towards him. And then when he played

108
00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:41,320
Speaker 1: those two games. I'll never forget that Baltimore game in

109
00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:43,640
Speaker 1: twenty fourteen when he had taken him on the duck

110
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:47,320
Speaker 1: blind and I wanted him to be our player of

111
00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:48,839
Speaker 1: the game so we could do it up on the

112
00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:51,920
Speaker 1: video board, and I'll never forget when the video board

113
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:54,720
Speaker 1: went on and it was his face. The place just

114
00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:57,760
Speaker 1: lit up. Yeah, and he, I mean he had he

115
00:04:57,839 --> 00:05:00,520
Speaker 1: had to kind of take a moment to kind of

116
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:03,200
Speaker 1: soak it all in. And I'll always cheer for him.

117
00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:05,280
Speaker 1: So I was glad to see that before him. And

118
00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:07,320
Speaker 1: we'll see him on the field exactly, and we'll see

119
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:10,400
Speaker 1: him in twenty eighteen. Of course, hopefully it'll go the

120
00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:14,200
Speaker 1: way the Texans, but it just goes to show how

121
00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:17,400
Speaker 1: valuable that position is in this league. I think we've

122
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:19,920
Speaker 1: all known that, but I think this free agency period

123
00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:22,279
Speaker 1: told us that even more than a guy like Kirk Cousins,

124
00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:24,880
Speaker 1: who's a good quarterback. He's going to a couple of

125
00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:31,719
Speaker 1: Pro Bowls, is making unbelievable dollars, incredible dollars. And you

126
00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:33,280
Speaker 1: know what it told me as we bring it back

127
00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:36,880
Speaker 1: home here with the Shawn Watson luckily a first rounder

128
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:38,720
Speaker 1: because then you got that option for the fifth year.

129
00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:42,000
Speaker 1: But it is Shaun Watson while he's under a rookie contract.

130
00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:44,800
Speaker 1: That's the time to build this thing and get it going.

131
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:47,280
Speaker 1: That's a window because by the time he gets to

132
00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:49,960
Speaker 1: year five, he's gonna see more money than any player

133
00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:53,279
Speaker 1: in the NFL. I agree, if he stays healthy. It's

134
00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:56,159
Speaker 1: a virtual lock based on what we saw in six games.

135
00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:59,560
Speaker 1: Virtual I'll say virtual meaning not in fact, but could be.

136
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:02,680
Speaker 1: All right, right now, this is fact. We will get

137
00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:05,960
Speaker 1: to it here in the Hunday Texans Radio studio, catching

138
00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:08,800
Speaker 1: up with Sean Trelle Henderson, who was so happy to

139
00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:13,919
Speaker 1: be a Houston Texan introduced yesterday. Congratulations on coming to Houston. Welcome,

140
00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:17,240
Speaker 1: thank you man, I appreciate it. Brian Gaine and Buffalo,

141
00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:19,520
Speaker 1: he wasn't there long, but clearly he saw a lot

142
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:21,160
Speaker 1: in you that he really liked. That he signs you

143
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:23,479
Speaker 1: here how well did you know him there? And what

144
00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:24,919
Speaker 1: does it like to come here and meet him and

145
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:28,279
Speaker 1: sign with him? Honestly, I feel like I've only seen

146
00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:31,200
Speaker 1: Brian maybe a couple of times. I know he was

147
00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:34,720
Speaker 1: always upstairs or either on the road, So that's why

148
00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:37,960
Speaker 1: I didn't exactly know who he wasn't I seen his face?

149
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:40,760
Speaker 1: And then I was like, Okay, I know he knows

150
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:44,320
Speaker 1: who I am. He clearly studied you, though exactly. Yeah,

151
00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:47,120
Speaker 1: at that point, I'm sure you're probably thinking, man, I'm

152
00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:49,280
Speaker 1: you know, I'm glad I went hard that practice, or

153
00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:52,160
Speaker 1: I'm glad I was doing good things because he was watching.

154
00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:54,640
Speaker 1: I mean, it goes to show that everybody is watching

155
00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:57,160
Speaker 1: your every movement every time. That's the one thing that

156
00:06:57,320 --> 00:06:59,960
Speaker 1: I always knew, and that's why I always made sure

157
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:03,800
Speaker 1: or it wasn't anything lazy coming from my way. It

158
00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:06,479
Speaker 1: was hustle, hustle, go hard every day in practice. What

159
00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:08,279
Speaker 1: you got to lose? How do you look at this

160
00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:11,360
Speaker 1: opportunity here, because there's a need here. Texans need some

161
00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:13,680
Speaker 1: offensive line help. There's no doubt about that. It's well

162
00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:16,440
Speaker 1: documented and you could be a big part of that. Um.

163
00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:18,520
Speaker 1: I feel I feel like I can fit right in.

164
00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:22,000
Speaker 1: As far as my size and my ability on the

165
00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:24,400
Speaker 1: field and things that I can do, I feel like

166
00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:27,920
Speaker 1: I could fit right in wherever you know a line

167
00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:31,280
Speaker 1: needs me to go. Tackle position is the one that

168
00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:34,360
Speaker 1: we know you play, but left tackle, right tackle. If

169
00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:37,480
Speaker 1: you had your druggs, which one of your most comfortable

170
00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:41,160
Speaker 1: playing the right? I gotta say I'm most comfortable playing

171
00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:45,280
Speaker 1: right tackle, But I've gotten more comfortable playing left tackle

172
00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:48,840
Speaker 1: because that's that's where I played the whole preseason there

173
00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:52,720
Speaker 1: um and proctice. That's all I played in practice the

174
00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:55,760
Speaker 1: whole year at the Buffalo Bill. So I'm used to

175
00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:58,280
Speaker 1: playing left two, but I know I have more experience

176
00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:00,360
Speaker 1: at the right tackle. Now. We've been talking about this

177
00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:02,440
Speaker 1: a lot because guys that come through here, every guy

178
00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:05,360
Speaker 1: that's come through here has had a versatility question. But

179
00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:07,800
Speaker 1: they have versatility, you know, Aaron, we're talking about inside

180
00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:10,360
Speaker 1: outside corner. We're talking to Zach about center and guard.

181
00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:13,040
Speaker 1: And it would seem to the outside public that it's

182
00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:15,400
Speaker 1: really easy to just oh, this center to guard right,

183
00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:18,520
Speaker 1: I'll tackle left tackle, right tackle. But it's completely different,

184
00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:20,400
Speaker 1: is it not? How different is it to go from

185
00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:22,400
Speaker 1: left to right or right to left? I'll tell you

186
00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:25,920
Speaker 1: it is like moving to a foreign country and trying

187
00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:30,880
Speaker 1: to learn their language, like literally, like and I can't

188
00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:34,600
Speaker 1: speak for everybody, but from most people that I know

189
00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:38,160
Speaker 1: that played a position in was asked to move to

190
00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:40,520
Speaker 1: another side, you know what I'm saying, Just just moving

191
00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:44,680
Speaker 1: one other footback and the other one forward and trying

192
00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:48,040
Speaker 1: to move in that motion is like really foreign. So

193
00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:50,240
Speaker 1: like you you really have to do it over and

194
00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:53,160
Speaker 1: over and over and over again for it to become natural.

195
00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:56,920
Speaker 1: A lot of repetition when you're playing this position, yes, now,

196
00:08:56,960 --> 00:08:59,280
Speaker 1: a lot of repetition of people asking you questions about

197
00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:01,720
Speaker 1: Crohn's disease. I'm sure, and maybe you get tired of

198
00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:05,000
Speaker 1: talking about that, but you answering questions about this disease

199
00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:08,400
Speaker 1: kind of educates other people and inspires them really to

200
00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:11,840
Speaker 1: fight it even more. Yeah, most definitely. It's just, um,

201
00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:15,600
Speaker 1: it's really tough because it's like, you know, those those

202
00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:18,080
Speaker 1: stomach pains just come out of nowhere. It's like like

203
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:21,200
Speaker 1: like you know, catch Charlie Horse in your leg, but

204
00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:23,400
Speaker 1: that's in your stomach and then it just won't go away,

205
00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:26,120
Speaker 1: so you can't even stand up straight, you know, I mean,

206
00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:28,679
Speaker 1: I I don't. I don't wish on nobody. And it's

207
00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:31,360
Speaker 1: like there's really not a big cure for it. There's

208
00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:35,160
Speaker 1: things that help help it, that help mask it, but

209
00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:38,800
Speaker 1: there's not just a full on cure for crones and

210
00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:41,319
Speaker 1: bow bow diseases. You know what I'm saying. But you

211
00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:43,320
Speaker 1: don't know why you're hurting down there. But you've been

212
00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:46,080
Speaker 1: able to get it with surgery, and you've been able

213
00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:48,959
Speaker 1: to address it and just maintain health somehow. Yeah. I've

214
00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:51,400
Speaker 1: been able to maintain it. I mean I haven't had

215
00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:55,240
Speaker 1: no stomach problems in two years. Excellent. I've been I've

216
00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:59,600
Speaker 1: been eating like like I'm a nutritionist, and I mean

217
00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:02,240
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna lie. I don't all the way like

218
00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:04,880
Speaker 1: how I eat down, but I know I have to

219
00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:08,480
Speaker 1: because I can't end up in that hospital. But you

220
00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:10,400
Speaker 1: have to maintain weight too. I mean it's not like

221
00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:16,560
Speaker 1: you just eat falfa sprouts all day's selection exactly. Yeah. Yeah.

222
00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:18,640
Speaker 1: At the same time, I still got to keep my weight.

223
00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:21,720
Speaker 1: But yeah, I mean that's that hasn't been a problem there. Okay,

224
00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:23,600
Speaker 1: you grew up in Minnesota, you went to high school

225
00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:27,480
Speaker 1: Minnesota famous, creating Durhamhall play in Buffalo. Now, you did

226
00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:29,480
Speaker 1: have a couple of years a few years down in Miami,

227
00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:30,840
Speaker 1: so you got a little bit of that. When now

228
00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:32,880
Speaker 1: you come to Houston, are you putting all the cold

229
00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:35,040
Speaker 1: weather clothes away? How good is it gonna feel to

230
00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:37,720
Speaker 1: get down and feel this warm weather all the time.

231
00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:39,959
Speaker 1: It's gonna be good to know that I can wake

232
00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:42,640
Speaker 1: up and wear whatever I want to wear without having

233
00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:45,200
Speaker 1: to worry about the jacket or anything, you know, even

234
00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:47,680
Speaker 1: if it's rain. Snow, man, no snow, you know, So

235
00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:49,880
Speaker 1: it feels good just to know that I can walk

236
00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:53,000
Speaker 1: outside and the worst time getting his rain, you know, Yeah,

237
00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:55,760
Speaker 1: was definitely. And you're gonna get some food choices down

238
00:10:55,800 --> 00:10:57,800
Speaker 1: here too. We were talking about diet. Man, I drove

239
00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:01,240
Speaker 1: past a lot of stuff that can really keep me overweight,

240
00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:06,880
Speaker 1: well manage somehow. What was it like being with the

241
00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:09,240
Speaker 1: Bills last year doing what they did because it was

242
00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:12,120
Speaker 1: the first time in a long time. Man, Just a

243
00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:14,720
Speaker 1: feeling of knowing that, you know, you made it to

244
00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:19,600
Speaker 1: the playoffs, knowing that the three years prior it was

245
00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:23,079
Speaker 1: going home exit meeting January first, going home the same

246
00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:25,920
Speaker 1: day or a few days after. So just knowing that

247
00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:29,760
Speaker 1: you're advancing and you got another week to practice. It

248
00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:32,120
Speaker 1: just makes everybody want to go harder just to get

249
00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:35,920
Speaker 1: there because now now it's now everybody's watching you like

250
00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:40,240
Speaker 1: it's a playoff game. Everybody's watching, Like howevery many million

251
00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:43,120
Speaker 1: people was watching the last game of the season. It's

252
00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:46,199
Speaker 1: double triple that now because you're on the main stage now,

253
00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:49,080
Speaker 1: everybody wants to be there, right, So yeah, it felt good, man,

254
00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:51,560
Speaker 1: it felt good. Unfortunately we lost to the Jaguars. You know,

255
00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:54,760
Speaker 1: me and Covid talked about that. Yeah, I was wondering

256
00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:58,160
Speaker 1: and I let him know that they weren't supposed to

257
00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:00,360
Speaker 1: win that game, but they got the outcome. It is

258
00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:03,040
Speaker 1: what it is. Now we can all win as Texans

259
00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:07,360
Speaker 1: and at that point, Sean troll the Texans opportunity. How

260
00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:09,920
Speaker 1: much do you And I don't know if guys throughout

261
00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:11,640
Speaker 1: the league watch other teams are keep an eye on

262
00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:14,200
Speaker 1: what's going on. Some guys do, some guys don't. But

263
00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:19,199
Speaker 1: what really attracted you to the opportunity here with the Texans, Well,

264
00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:22,640
Speaker 1: pretty much just Brian Gang, the head coach, the offensive

265
00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:25,559
Speaker 1: line coach, the whole staff, like everybody on the team.

266
00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:27,240
Speaker 1: Like it's like crazy, you guys have one of the

267
00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:30,440
Speaker 1: best defenses and have had one of the best defenses

268
00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:34,040
Speaker 1: since I've been in the league. And the offense hasn't

269
00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:37,000
Speaker 1: been that bad either. I mean, you guys really just

270
00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:40,040
Speaker 1: had a tough last year. I mean, things like that

271
00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:44,240
Speaker 1: happened elsewhere. Also, you know, so nobody's seen that coming.

272
00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:48,040
Speaker 1: I didn't obviously. You know, I got good friends that's

273
00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:50,520
Speaker 1: on this team, and like I said, the city alone too,

274
00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:54,600
Speaker 1: So it was a great attraction. Yeah, something that I

275
00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:58,199
Speaker 1: feel like I couldn't turn down. Side note from from

276
00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:01,200

278
00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:07,120
Speaker 1: caught up with him here in the Hunday Texans radio

279
00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:11,600
Speaker 1: studio New Houston Texans offensive linemen. Texans sign an additional

280
00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:14,080
Speaker 1: player or two over the weekend. We'll find out. But

281
00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:16,080
Speaker 1: a guy was added to the fold today that we'll

282
00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:20,320
Speaker 1: discuss next. And also, I've got this whole offensive line thing.

283
00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:22,400
Speaker 1: Figure it out. I'm going to run it by Johnny.

284
00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:25,960
Speaker 1: See what he says. Also, Danny Barrett, running backs coach

285
00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:28,040
Speaker 1: for the Texans. Very interesting guy. Used to be a

286
00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:29,760
Speaker 1: head coach in fact for a number of years, but

287
00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:32,000
Speaker 1: not in the NFL, in another pro league. We'll talk

288
00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:36,720
Speaker 1: about that and more on Texans Radio. Moving run along

00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:52,199
Speaker 1: that the Texans have signed so far and have announced.

295
00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:54,880
Speaker 1: By the way, Johnny, this on the offensive line, and

296
00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:57,840
Speaker 1: I brought this up this morning on Sports Radio six ten,

297
00:13:57,920 --> 00:14:00,280
Speaker 1: my weekly appearance there, which I encourage everyone to listen

298
00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:03,640
Speaker 1: to Friday from eight to nine am. But I figured

299
00:14:03,640 --> 00:14:06,839
Speaker 1: out the offensive line thing. I figured out what they're

300
00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:10,760
Speaker 1: doing here is what is an offensive lineman's favorite thing

301
00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:13,000
Speaker 1: to do? Now? Seth said eight. I'm talking about on

302
00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:16,319
Speaker 1: the field though, on the field of play, hit someone

303
00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:20,920
Speaker 1: in what run blocking? Right? What did they all say yesterday?

304
00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:22,760
Speaker 1: Kind of dawned on me last night. They were all

305
00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:25,640
Speaker 1: talking about this. I'm a good run blocker. I'm a

306
00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:28,680
Speaker 1: run blocker. They all said that, right, right, all three

307
00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:30,880
Speaker 1: of them. They all said they're run blockers. I mean,

308
00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:33,920
Speaker 1: they didn't say they weren't pass protectors, but they talked

309
00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:36,800
Speaker 1: about their ability and desired to run block. And then

310
00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:39,400
Speaker 1: I thought they were third in the league running the

311
00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:43,760
Speaker 1: football when Watson was under center. Third rushing offense, never

312
00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:46,960
Speaker 1: mind throwing touchdown passes, which was a lot nineteen TD

313
00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:50,000
Speaker 1: throws by Deshaun Watson when he was in the lineup,

314
00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:53,680
Speaker 1: But they were the third best rushing offense in the

315
00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:56,880
Speaker 1: league when he was under center, and not all because

316
00:14:56,920 --> 00:14:59,480
Speaker 1: of him, of course, his running ability, but the threat

317
00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:01,440
Speaker 1: of him run. And I think what they want to

318
00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:03,720
Speaker 1: do here, they know they can't. They don't have time

319
00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:06,440
Speaker 1: to do two or three drafts and rebuild the line

320
00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:09,320
Speaker 1: that way. They're going this free agency route along with

321
00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:11,640
Speaker 1: what they already have, and they're gonna get the best

322
00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:14,320
Speaker 1: possible old linement out there in the run blocking scheme

323
00:15:14,640 --> 00:15:17,640
Speaker 1: and go that way. They know that the way they

324
00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:20,800
Speaker 1: play with Watson. Maybe I'm not verbalizing as correctly, but

325
00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:23,200
Speaker 1: the way they play with Watson, it's all gonna work

326
00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:26,040
Speaker 1: out well. Running the ball Watson with the play action.

327
00:15:26,040 --> 00:15:28,760
Speaker 1: Look at the play action numbers. They're phenomenal with Watson.

328
00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:31,760
Speaker 1: I think that this is part of their thinking signing

329
00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:36,080
Speaker 1: these guys. It's interesting you bring that up, because remember

330
00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:40,480
Speaker 1: the I want to say it was the Tennessee win.

331
00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:44,240
Speaker 1: He account for the Shawn account for six touchdowns in

332
00:15:44,240 --> 00:15:48,200
Speaker 1: that game, five throwing in one rushing, but only through

333
00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:50,320
Speaker 1: for like two hundred eighteen yards or something like that.

334
00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:53,360
Speaker 1: I mean, it was a very small number of yards,

335
00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:56,240
Speaker 1: even in New England. In that game. I don't know

336
00:15:56,280 --> 00:16:00,320
Speaker 1: that his throwing number, I can't remember what is nure.

337
00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:01,720
Speaker 1: I mean, they were pretty good, don't get me wrong,

338
00:16:01,880 --> 00:16:03,880
Speaker 1: but they weren't four hundred and fifty yards. I mean,

339
00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:05,840
Speaker 1: the one game where he went off off the deep

340
00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:09,680
Speaker 1: end was Seattle, which is just incredible, But his numbers

341
00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:14,400
Speaker 1: were relatively in the two hundred thirty two forty range.

342
00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:16,880
Speaker 1: He wasn't breaking a bank with the yardage. It was

343
00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:20,000
Speaker 1: just really effective, especially down in the red zone. But

344
00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:23,640
Speaker 1: I remember in that Tennessee game that the Texans had

345
00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:27,320
Speaker 1: taken at twenty one and nothing lead, and then Mariota scored,

346
00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:30,400
Speaker 1: and the Texas got the ball back after that score,

347
00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:34,880
Speaker 1: and they pounded Tennessee that very next drive. I believe

348
00:16:34,920 --> 00:16:36,960
Speaker 1: it was it was that drive. I don't think it

349
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:38,480
Speaker 1: was the last drive. I think it was that drive.

350
00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:42,440
Speaker 1: It was that drive, and they just fed Lamar, just

351
00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:46,520
Speaker 1: kept feeding Lamar, and they were mashing the Titans up front,

352
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:49,800
Speaker 1: and it was like, Wow, where's this offensive line? Ben?

353
00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:52,560
Speaker 1: And they're just mashing and Lamar's got all kinds of spots.

354
00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:54,840
Speaker 1: And then you realize, Okay, Deshawn's part of this because

355
00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:57,200
Speaker 1: they obviously have eyes on the Seawan butts off as

356
00:16:57,200 --> 00:16:59,320
Speaker 1: a line that's getting a hat on a hat. Tennessee's

357
00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:01,160
Speaker 1: trying to do some fun stuff up front. They get

358
00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:03,520
Speaker 1: caught in it and they're just mashing, and they ended

359
00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:05,440
Speaker 1: up kicking a field goal and make it twenty four seven.

360
00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:08,440
Speaker 1: But I remember that drive thinking, boy, that I would

361
00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:11,399
Speaker 1: think is the way that Bill O'Brian would like to

362
00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:14,119
Speaker 1: see it. That when he wants to go to the well,

363
00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:19,560
Speaker 1: when he wants to hammer and drop a physical dime

364
00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:21,840
Speaker 1: on the other team, that's the way he's gonna do.

365
00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:24,680
Speaker 1: It's interesting thought. I don't disagree with you in the slightest.

366
00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:28,359
Speaker 1: I think that's something that absolutely, without question, those guys

367
00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:30,520
Speaker 1: have got to be able to do. You can't sign

368
00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:33,480
Speaker 1: five Andrew Norwell's at this point or whatever. I mean,

369
00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:36,040
Speaker 1: you can't sign five Nate Soldiers. You can't afford to

370
00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:39,360
Speaker 1: do that sign. These guys are all very solid, run

371
00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:42,200
Speaker 1: the ball well, and everything's gonna feed off that anyway,

372
00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:44,480
Speaker 1: and not just that doesn't mean you run on first

373
00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:47,000
Speaker 1: and second down. It means that you're mixing it up

374
00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:49,440
Speaker 1: with Watson, the threat of him running. Like we said,

375
00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:51,640
Speaker 1: all that zone read stuff. It's gonna work very well

376
00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:54,840
Speaker 1: with these guys. To your point, remind me who one

377
00:17:55,119 --> 00:17:58,880
Speaker 1: championship this year that would be. It wasn't Clemson because

378
00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:01,240
Speaker 1: that was last year at Alabama. No. Who in the

379
00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:05,280
Speaker 1: Super Bowl Championship. That championship and the way they wanted

380
00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:09,040
Speaker 1: exactly how did they win? Everybody say, oh Nick Foles this, yeah,

381
00:18:09,119 --> 00:18:11,840
Speaker 1: Nick threw the ball pretty well, but they hammered with

382
00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:15,440
Speaker 1: a Garrett Blunt, Corey Clement, those two guys, j Jie,

383
00:18:15,800 --> 00:18:18,600
Speaker 1: those guys were They had three running backs and they

384
00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:20,399
Speaker 1: ran me out a line that was pretty good and

385
00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:23,640
Speaker 1: was without Jason Peters, which was crazy because Halla pelote

386
00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:26,000
Speaker 1: Vitai did a really nice job over at left tackle

387
00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:29,880
Speaker 1: and they moved people off the ball. But they're able

388
00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:35,360
Speaker 1: to do that because scheme UH alignment spread teams out.

389
00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:39,080
Speaker 1: Because what Foles and Wentz were doing throwing the ball.

390
00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:41,360
Speaker 1: Teams were scared, like, all right, do we leave six

391
00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:43,120
Speaker 1: in the box? Leave six in the box? You gotta

392
00:18:43,119 --> 00:18:44,440
Speaker 1: be able to check to a run and make them

393
00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:47,320
Speaker 1: pay for that. That's something I think to me when

394
00:18:47,320 --> 00:18:49,960
Speaker 1: it comes to this offense, and I've heard I've I've

395
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:52,240
Speaker 1: heard this before and not not that I've heard Bill

396
00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:55,520
Speaker 1: say this, but this offense should have the answers to

397
00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:59,320
Speaker 1: your questions. Meaning you're gonna put seven in the box.

398
00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:01,119
Speaker 1: We got to be able to throw to beat that.

399
00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:03,639
Speaker 1: We've got answers for that. Now we got to execute it.

400
00:19:03,800 --> 00:19:05,920
Speaker 1: You're gonna leave six in the box, and we've got

401
00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:08,720
Speaker 1: a tight end and even a fullback in there because

402
00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:11,520
Speaker 1: you're worried about Hopkins or you're worried about Fuller or whatever.

403
00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:13,359
Speaker 1: We got to be able to run against six in

404
00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:16,080
Speaker 1: the box. We got to be effective. We have got

405
00:19:16,119 --> 00:19:18,399
Speaker 1: the answers to the test. We've just got to make

406
00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:20,199
Speaker 1: sure that we're able to execute them. And to me,

407
00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:22,920
Speaker 1: to your point about running the football, I think that's

408
00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:25,320
Speaker 1: a that's a great point, and I think that's exactly

409
00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:27,119
Speaker 1: what they would like to be able to do. And

410
00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:29,480
Speaker 1: not just to a point where you're running zone stuff

411
00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:32,400
Speaker 1: where you're just kind of position blocking guys. I think

412
00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:35,639
Speaker 1: they want to people move, they want movement off the ball.

413
00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:39,680
Speaker 1: And I watch and Fulton in particular is the one

414
00:19:39,680 --> 00:19:45,000
Speaker 1: and I watched. I watched he in h Cineo. Not

415
00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:46,879
Speaker 1: the same game, of course, but I was watching Fulton

416
00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:49,200
Speaker 1: and my football one on one will be coming up

417
00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:51,440
Speaker 1: if it's not already there in Houston Texas dot com.

418
00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:53,159
Speaker 1: But there's a play down on a goal line. And

419
00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:55,080
Speaker 1: I picked this play in particular for a couple of reasons.

420
00:19:55,160 --> 00:19:57,320
Speaker 1: Number one is against the Titans, Number two is against

421
00:19:57,400 --> 00:19:59,560
Speaker 1: Jill Casey, and number three because it was a goal

422
00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:02,960
Speaker 1: line player and they ran They ran Cream Hunt on

423
00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:05,960
Speaker 1: an inside zone play, and so that meant that Fulton

424
00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:09,320
Speaker 1: had droll Casey essentially one on one, right and down

425
00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:11,480
Speaker 1: on a goal line. Sometimes profits a linemanic is tough.

426
00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:14,680
Speaker 1: You got those defensive lineman. Casey's shorter, so he kind

427
00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:17,320
Speaker 1: of wins leverage battles. He gets underneath those offensive lineman.

428
00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:23,160
Speaker 1: They can't move him. Zach Fulton just moves Casey out

429
00:20:23,160 --> 00:20:24,639
Speaker 1: of the way. Now, not on a goal on you're

430
00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:26,800
Speaker 1: not gonna get too much, but you can just tell

431
00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:29,320
Speaker 1: the power in the hands and the strength that he

432
00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:31,320
Speaker 1: has to move guys out of the way. And if

433
00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:32,639
Speaker 1: you're moving him out of the way down on the

434
00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:35,919
Speaker 1: goal line, my goodness, you're gonna be doing that throughout

435
00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:37,440
Speaker 1: on the field. And the Fulton does that as well.

436
00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:39,680
Speaker 1: But I think you're absolutely right. I think that this

437
00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:43,119
Speaker 1: is about getting that run game to balance. Now the

438
00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:46,240
Speaker 1: question becomes, can you out there forman come back healthy

439
00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:48,000
Speaker 1: or or you're gonna have to look for running back

440
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:50,480
Speaker 1: a free agency, or you're gonna have to draft one. Yes, yes,

441
00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:53,000
Speaker 1: and yes, probably all of the above. Yeah, maybe so.

442
00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:54,800
Speaker 1: I mean, I think you're going to rookie for sure,

443
00:20:54,880 --> 00:20:57,560
Speaker 1: you'll probably get a free agent in here. And I

444
00:20:57,640 --> 00:21:00,320
Speaker 1: think Foreman. I think they think Foreman is to come

445
00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:02,960
Speaker 1: back healthy. So we'll see how that goes. Side note here,

446
00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:07,160
Speaker 1: you saw this play out yesterday Glenn Fulton Zach's father,

447
00:21:07,840 --> 00:21:10,800
Speaker 1: and the fact that a buddy of mine texted me

448
00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:14,040
Speaker 1: and he said, oh, Zach Fulton I went to high school.

449
00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:15,520
Speaker 1: And I thought, well, he didn't go to high school

450
00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:17,760
Speaker 1: with Fulton with his dad. And I thought, oh, that's great.

451
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:20,760
Speaker 1: That's really good with his dad. With a player's dad.

452
00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:22,880
Speaker 1: I remember in this business where I started to get

453
00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:25,600
Speaker 1: older than the players a little bit, and now I

454
00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:29,960
Speaker 1: am their dad's age or more. Now my buddy's a

455
00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:31,840
Speaker 1: little bit older than me, so the dad's a little

456
00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:33,719
Speaker 1: bit older than me. But still that that one kind

457
00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:35,560
Speaker 1: of hurt a little bit. And Zach Fulton, who was

458
00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:38,359
Speaker 1: this mountain of a man, and to think that, you know,

459
00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:40,960
Speaker 1: I'm in his dad's league as far as demographic, Yeah,

460
00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:42,680
Speaker 1: I'll tell you this. You're talking about mountain of a man.

461
00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:45,480
Speaker 1: When those three guys came in here yesterday, Now they're

462
00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:48,639
Speaker 1: all I mean, Sendey was a little shorter than the others,

463
00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:52,520
Speaker 1: but man, he is barrel chested with the list of

464
00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:54,480
Speaker 1: at sixty three, I know. And yet he was the

465
00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:56,520
Speaker 1: smallest of the Yeah, I thought, gosh, he's a little

466
00:21:56,520 --> 00:22:03,480
Speaker 1: comparably small, little at six three three plus and walks. Oh,

467
00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:07,000
Speaker 1: he's a planet. I mean, the sun was blocked out.

468
00:22:07,119 --> 00:22:09,720
Speaker 1: I thought that the plants were gonna die in a shadow.

469
00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:14,439
Speaker 1: It was speaking of Uh, you were at you were

470
00:22:14,480 --> 00:22:18,040
Speaker 1: at Miami when Miami played the University of Florida back

471
00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:21,440
Speaker 1: in the early to early two thousands and in the

472
00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:24,040
Speaker 1: Sugar Bowl. I think he was a I think he

473
00:22:24,119 --> 00:22:26,960
Speaker 1: was a retched freshman Max Starks, you know, playing for

474
00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:29,639
Speaker 1: the Steelers, Max Starks. I coached against him when he

475
00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:31,960
Speaker 1: was a junior in high school. The biggest kid, I

476
00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:35,440
Speaker 1: the biggest football player I've ever seen in my life. Ever,

477
00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:39,760
Speaker 1: Sean Traill's bigger than he makes Starks look Liliputian, and

478
00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:44,160
Speaker 1: I never thought that was possible. I think, if Henderson

479
00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:47,560
Speaker 1: is physically right, which obviously plays into the mental psyche

480
00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:50,200
Speaker 1: and all that kind of stuff, but he is physically right,

481
00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:52,600
Speaker 1: I think the Texans could have a gem with him.

482
00:22:52,680 --> 00:22:54,920
Speaker 1: I really do this. This guy was the number one

483
00:22:54,920 --> 00:22:57,440
Speaker 1: recruit coming out of high school, and I think, what's

484
00:22:57,560 --> 00:22:59,560
Speaker 1: what's fascinating people here that a, oh, this guy's number

485
00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:04,159
Speaker 1: one recruit. We're seeing more now because of the number one,

486
00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:06,920
Speaker 1: number one recruit in high school, because you're seeing these

487
00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:09,080
Speaker 1: guys more. Back way back in the day, guys never

488
00:23:09,080 --> 00:23:11,080
Speaker 1: saw I mean they would see him, but nobody knew

489
00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:13,600
Speaker 1: him nationally. Right now, you're seeing these guys all these

490
00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:17,879
Speaker 1: combines everything. Sean trelle is unbelievably talented. It's just a

491
00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:20,639
Speaker 1: matter of him staying healthy. And if he's staying healthy

492
00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:22,600
Speaker 1: and everything's right, then I think he gets one of

493
00:23:22,640 --> 00:23:24,679
Speaker 1: those five positions up front. Well, it's good to hear

494
00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:26,639
Speaker 1: from him. Right now, let's hear from another one of

495
00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:30,800
Speaker 1: these guys, Seneo Callamette. Drew Doherty visited with him right

496
00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:34,240
Speaker 1: after the signing. Seneo Callamette joins me now, and first

497
00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:36,840
Speaker 1: of all, welcome to town. And how exciting is this

498
00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:40,439
Speaker 1: opportunity for you? Man? I can't even put it into words,

499
00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:43,400
Speaker 1: you know, just I'm just you know, like I said,

500
00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:44,840
Speaker 1: I just can't put it in the words. I'm just

501
00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:47,639
Speaker 1: so excited to be here. And like I said, you know,

502
00:23:47,680 --> 00:23:49,840
Speaker 1: I'm ready to go to work and just ready to

503
00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:52,639
Speaker 1: meet the guys. Dollars and cents aside, what was the

504
00:23:52,640 --> 00:23:55,679
Speaker 1: most attractive part of the Texans for you? I feel like,

505
00:23:55,720 --> 00:23:57,840
Speaker 1: you know, they're they're a young team, and I feel like,

506
00:23:57,880 --> 00:24:01,399
Speaker 1: you know, with a few key parts um added, you know,

507
00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:05,280
Speaker 1: they can definitely be that, you know, championship Calibertine. How

508
00:24:05,359 --> 00:24:08,920
Speaker 1: much did you notice of them a from the practice

509
00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:11,600
Speaker 1: last August and then the preseason game after that, because

510
00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:14,560
Speaker 1: there's a bit of familiarity, especially over the years as well.

511
00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:16,679
Speaker 1: You guys have practiced with him, played with them, you know,

512
00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:21,600
Speaker 1: every August seems like, um uh, just watching Deshaun Watson

513
00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:25,080
Speaker 1: and you know, him grow as a player and him

514
00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:28,880
Speaker 1: just being so young, I feel like, um man, it's

515
00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:31,040
Speaker 1: just a blessing to be a part of a part

516
00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:33,560
Speaker 1: of that, you know, to help contribute to you know,

517
00:24:33,560 --> 00:24:36,000
Speaker 1: what's what's to come here. And that's pretty high praise

518
00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:38,040
Speaker 1: because you've played and blocked in front of a future

519
00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:40,399
Speaker 1: Hall of Famer and Drew Brees. But this guy, Deshaun

520
00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:43,080
Speaker 1: Watson is something special too, like you're mentioning, right, yeah,

521
00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:45,480
Speaker 1: I mean they were putting up what probably like forty

522
00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:47,359
Speaker 1: or third and seven points you know when he was

523
00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:50,000
Speaker 1: when he was playing, So I mean it's who you know,

524
00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:52,399
Speaker 1: Like I said that the sky's the limit for for

525
00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:54,439
Speaker 1: this team. How nasty do you have to be as

526
00:24:54,440 --> 00:24:56,920
Speaker 1: an offensive lineman? And how nasty are you? I mean

527
00:24:57,280 --> 00:24:59,720
Speaker 1: you gotta get down to the nitty greedy man. I mean,

528
00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:06,719
Speaker 1: you gotta be pretty pretty nasty, you know. So that's enough, right,

529
00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:09,760
Speaker 1: that's all you gotta says. Well, let's describe for those

530
00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:12,000
Speaker 1: that haven't watched you play, who are you as an

531
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:14,960
Speaker 1: offensive lineman? What are you like? You know, I consider

532
00:25:15,040 --> 00:25:17,080
Speaker 1: my guy as a as a as a team player.

533
00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:20,280
Speaker 1: You know, I'm pretty unselfish. Um, I'm that guy where,

534
00:25:20,359 --> 00:25:22,800
Speaker 1: you know, wherever, whatever position they need me to play,

535
00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:25,360
Speaker 1: I'm gonna play it. That's jumbo tight end, I'm fine

536
00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:28,720
Speaker 1: with jumbo tight end, that's center, guard, tackle. You know,

537
00:25:28,720 --> 00:25:30,879
Speaker 1: I'm gonna help do my best to help contribute to

538
00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:32,840
Speaker 1: this team. Yeah. And he's not just saying that because

539
00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:35,240
Speaker 1: you've actually started at every one of those positions. It's

540
00:25:35,320 --> 00:25:37,640
Speaker 1: it's pretty pretty crazy if you think about it. It's

541
00:25:37,680 --> 00:25:40,600
Speaker 1: not like you're just going from one little spot to another.

542
00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:43,320
Speaker 1: I mean, that's a total different mindset, isn't it. It is,

543
00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:45,960
Speaker 1: you know, and I touched on it, um in the

544
00:25:46,040 --> 00:25:49,040
Speaker 1: other interview. Um, just just knowing so many positions, it

545
00:25:49,080 --> 00:25:51,120
Speaker 1: kind of just helps you, you know, with the playbook

546
00:25:51,160 --> 00:25:53,480
Speaker 1: and kind of understand what's going on and what you

547
00:25:53,520 --> 00:25:55,399
Speaker 1: need to get done. All right, Senio, we thank you

548
00:25:55,480 --> 00:25:57,000
Speaker 1: so much for joining us. Can't wait to see on

549
00:25:57,040 --> 00:26:00,560
Speaker 1: the field this autumn. All right, Thank you, Mette joining

550
00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:02,399
Speaker 1: us here on Texans Radio. All right, I want to

551
00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:04,520
Speaker 1: get to one of the signings today because we talked

552
00:26:04,520 --> 00:26:08,680
Speaker 1: about the offensive line plenty so far. Johnson Batamosi, who

553
00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:11,879
Speaker 1: we saw with the Patriots last year. He was previously

554
00:26:11,960 --> 00:26:14,520
Speaker 1: with Detroit. He has one career pick and that was

555
00:26:14,560 --> 00:26:16,720
Speaker 1: against Brock Oswiler. I was if you're gonna say that

556
00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:19,240
Speaker 1: the game they played here and I watched it again

557
00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:21,320
Speaker 1: and I just thought that was one of those passes

558
00:26:21,359 --> 00:26:24,240
Speaker 1: where he's thrown at DeAndre Hopkins, but it's kind of

559
00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:27,000
Speaker 1: under throne, and you know, you want to give DeAndre

560
00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:29,199
Speaker 1: chance to make a play on the ball. You know,

561
00:26:29,320 --> 00:26:31,520
Speaker 1: if if it's gonna get it's not gonna get picked

562
00:26:31,560 --> 00:26:34,120
Speaker 1: if you put it in the proper zip code. Johnson

563
00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:38,760
Speaker 1: Batamosi is the reason for one of my all time

564
00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:42,760
Speaker 1: favorite interviews with Bill Bryant at halftime. Oh gosh, why

565
00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:45,920
Speaker 1: is it right before? It's right before? Because they're driving

566
00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:50,600
Speaker 1: down and Batamos pick picks off Brock and I don't

567
00:26:50,640 --> 00:26:52,240
Speaker 1: even get the question out of my mouth, and I

568
00:26:52,240 --> 00:26:55,560
Speaker 1: can already hear Bill going, we can't do that. What

569
00:26:55,640 --> 00:26:58,359
Speaker 1: else you got for me? Coach? Has your defense playing good?

570
00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:01,720
Speaker 1: And that was done? Yeah, it was some of these

571
00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:05,840
Speaker 1: halftime interviews. I mean, sometimes better if he'll but he'll

572
00:27:05,840 --> 00:27:08,800
Speaker 1: stand there sometimes and he'll talk for what I would

573
00:27:08,840 --> 00:27:10,959
Speaker 1: consider to be a while. I'll put that of air

574
00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:14,480
Speaker 1: quotes a while considering you're in the midst of a game. Yeah,

575
00:27:14,560 --> 00:27:17,399
Speaker 1: other times like gotta coach better, got to play better, goodbye,

576
00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:19,200
Speaker 1: be in the locker room. And I get it because

577
00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:20,560
Speaker 1: he wants to talk to his team. He doesn't want,

578
00:27:20,560 --> 00:27:22,880
Speaker 1: of course that. But that game was actually won by

579
00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:25,359
Speaker 1: the Texans against Detroit, a playoff game. Don't get me

580
00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:28,080
Speaker 1: defending the two thousand and sixteen resume. We're not doing that.

581
00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:31,040
Speaker 1: I don't have to do that anymore. But bottom mostly,

582
00:27:31,080 --> 00:27:33,160
Speaker 1: how does he fit in? He's a special teams guy. Yeah,

583
00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:36,040
Speaker 1: isn't he. He's among the top tacklers in the league

584
00:27:36,040 --> 00:27:39,400
Speaker 1: and special teams since he came into the league, no question,

585
00:27:40,160 --> 00:27:43,800
Speaker 1: no question at all that. When the opportunity to bring

586
00:27:43,840 --> 00:27:48,400
Speaker 1: in Johnson Batimosi was floated to Brad Sealey, he was like, yes, absolutely,

587
00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:51,760
Speaker 1: he is a tremendous special teams player. And you add

588
00:27:51,840 --> 00:27:54,960
Speaker 1: him into Brian Peters resigned yesterday, so you've got two

589
00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:57,960
Speaker 1: really good special teams players. But I wouldn't put it

590
00:27:58,280 --> 00:28:01,040
Speaker 1: past the Texans pass the defense to find a way

591
00:28:01,040 --> 00:28:03,679
Speaker 1: to get Battimosely on the field and coverage because he

592
00:28:03,800 --> 00:28:08,200
Speaker 1: started three times for the Patriots this year when Stefan

593
00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:10,680
Speaker 1: Gilmour went down. Now, look, I'm not saying that he's

594
00:28:10,720 --> 00:28:13,040
Speaker 1: a he's a full time starter, gonna play corner all

595
00:28:13,040 --> 00:28:14,800
Speaker 1: that kind of stuffy. Can spots start for you. He

596
00:28:14,840 --> 00:28:17,359
Speaker 1: can spot start. He can pick up reps maybe, and

597
00:28:17,480 --> 00:28:19,880
Speaker 1: nickel maybe and dime. And he's been with the Patriots,

598
00:28:19,880 --> 00:28:24,680
Speaker 1: he's been with the culture. He knows the terminology, he

599
00:28:24,760 --> 00:28:27,280
Speaker 1: knows the defense. I think it was a really good signing.

600
00:28:27,359 --> 00:28:29,720
Speaker 1: And he's good size too. I wouldn't even be opposed

601
00:28:29,720 --> 00:28:31,560
Speaker 1: to trying him at safety either. All right, we're gonna

602
00:28:31,560 --> 00:28:34,400
Speaker 1: talk with running backs coach Danny Barrett next, but also

603
00:28:34,480 --> 00:28:37,160
Speaker 1: thoughts on c J. Fiedora Witz his retirement, and then

604
00:28:37,240 --> 00:28:40,360
Speaker 1: some on Texans All Access getting you ready for a

605
00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:43,480
Speaker 1: big weekend here, NCAA tournament stuff going on. Of course,

606
00:28:43,600 --> 00:28:46,200
Speaker 1: NFL free agency got underway this week and will continue

607
00:28:46,280 --> 00:28:49,320
Speaker 1: till the end of time, No till whenever you have

608
00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:51,719
Speaker 1: the first wave, the second wave, all these different waves.

609
00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:54,520
Speaker 1: Mark Vandermer with you with John Harris. All right, Johnny,

610
00:28:54,520 --> 00:28:56,680
Speaker 1: before we get to your interview with Danny Barrett running

611
00:28:56,720 --> 00:28:59,400
Speaker 1: backs coach who was a super interesting guy. C J.

612
00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:02,960
Speaker 1: Fedora Wits retires Texans at tight end. You know, you

613
00:29:02,960 --> 00:29:06,239
Speaker 1: look at Ryan Grippin, good solid tight end. He's had

614
00:29:06,280 --> 00:29:09,520
Speaker 1: some concussion issues also. It's too bad. It really is

615
00:29:09,520 --> 00:29:11,160
Speaker 1: too bad with CJ. I mean, this is a player

616
00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:12,720
Speaker 1: that was just coming into his prime. You look at

617
00:29:12,760 --> 00:29:15,200
Speaker 1: what he did in twenty sixteen. It was phenomenal under

618
00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:17,360
Speaker 1: the circumstances, and he was well on his way to

619
00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:20,040
Speaker 1: becoming a Pro Bowl type tight end. But he gets

620
00:29:20,080 --> 00:29:23,080
Speaker 1: derailed because of injuries, concussions especially. Yeah, I hated. I

621
00:29:23,080 --> 00:29:25,400
Speaker 1: remember the first day that we saw CJ. We were

622
00:29:25,400 --> 00:29:27,560
Speaker 1: in the locker room and the rookies had got in there.

623
00:29:27,600 --> 00:29:29,840
Speaker 1: We were getting some time with them, and you walk

624
00:29:29,920 --> 00:29:31,400
Speaker 1: behind you pointed at the guy and said, who's that

625
00:29:31,440 --> 00:29:34,200
Speaker 1: And I said that's Fedorowitz and you went the tight end.

626
00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:37,000
Speaker 1: I mean, he was that big. He you know, his

627
00:29:37,120 --> 00:29:40,000
Speaker 1: twenty sixteen was just phenomenal. I mean, he was such

628
00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:43,000
Speaker 1: a key in that passing game. He was so he

629
00:29:43,080 --> 00:29:45,120
Speaker 1: was so fun to watch. He was a really good

630
00:29:45,240 --> 00:29:47,440
Speaker 1: blocking tight end. And I agree with you, I think

631
00:29:47,440 --> 00:29:50,640
Speaker 1: he was really he had signed the extension, he was

632
00:29:50,760 --> 00:29:53,239
Speaker 1: I thought, ready to take that next step and just

633
00:29:53,320 --> 00:29:55,080
Speaker 1: got to a point with the concussions that it was

634
00:29:55,120 --> 00:29:58,200
Speaker 1: too much. Best catch was it the Cults in twenty

635
00:29:58,240 --> 00:29:59,960
Speaker 1: sixteen of the Titans in the back of the ends

636
00:30:00,280 --> 00:30:03,200
Speaker 1: twenty the best catch was the one against the Titans.

637
00:30:03,240 --> 00:30:05,760
Speaker 1: The most important one was one against the Colts. Yeah,

638
00:30:05,800 --> 00:30:10,080
Speaker 1: I mean the one against the Colts was miraculous. Almost Oswiler.

639
00:30:10,120 --> 00:30:12,680
Speaker 1: That was probably his best throw was a Houston Texas Yeah,

640
00:30:12,760 --> 00:30:14,760
Speaker 1: I mean, he was that close to having Mike Adams

641
00:30:14,840 --> 00:30:17,200
Speaker 1: knocked that thing down. But CJ caught that. I'll never

642
00:30:17,240 --> 00:30:20,080
Speaker 1: forget having my reaction to it as I saw the

643
00:30:20,080 --> 00:30:22,120
Speaker 1: ball in the air. It was just sort of a

644
00:30:22,120 --> 00:30:23,960
Speaker 1: surreal night because there were so many kind of missed

645
00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:27,280
Speaker 1: opportunities in that game. I remember stopping the Colts on

646
00:30:27,360 --> 00:30:30,560
Speaker 1: fourth and one and then giving the ball right back

647
00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:32,360
Speaker 1: to him the very next play of Ante Davis and

648
00:30:32,360 --> 00:30:34,760
Speaker 1: they score, and it's like the game was uncomfortable all night.

649
00:30:34,800 --> 00:30:37,120
Speaker 1: So I just felt like, yeah, Lamar scored, it was

650
00:30:37,120 --> 00:30:38,920
Speaker 1: a great play. But then they got the ball back

651
00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:41,680
Speaker 1: and fuck, I don't know, maybe and then he hits Fador.

652
00:30:41,760 --> 00:30:44,840
Speaker 1: But it was such a shock. They they tied this game.

653
00:30:45,040 --> 00:30:47,520
Speaker 1: They tied this game, and CJ obviously was a big

654
00:30:47,520 --> 00:30:50,960
Speaker 1: part of that. But that Tennessee game in sixteen when

655
00:30:50,960 --> 00:30:53,640
Speaker 1: he kind of broke out. I mean, it just showed

656
00:30:53,720 --> 00:30:57,400
Speaker 1: what he was capable of doing, and he was definitely

657
00:30:57,400 --> 00:30:59,440
Speaker 1: missed this year. I can only imagine what this offense

658
00:30:59,480 --> 00:31:01,480
Speaker 1: would have looked like to have that layer to it.

659
00:31:01,600 --> 00:31:04,280
Speaker 1: So where do you find a replacement? And I think

660
00:31:04,280 --> 00:31:05,320
Speaker 1: there are a couple of ways to look at this.

661
00:31:05,400 --> 00:31:08,000
Speaker 1: Number One, do you have to find a blocking tight

662
00:31:08,080 --> 00:31:10,880
Speaker 1: end because you've got receiving tight ends in Ryan and

663
00:31:11,360 --> 00:31:13,760
Speaker 1: Stephen Anderson. Do you have to find a guy in

664
00:31:13,760 --> 00:31:15,479
Speaker 1: this draft? And I said before, there aren't too many

665
00:31:15,480 --> 00:31:17,120
Speaker 1: guys in this draft that are gonna be like CJ.

666
00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:19,840
Speaker 1: But there are a lot of really good athletes in

667
00:31:19,880 --> 00:31:22,680
Speaker 1: this draft at that position. Mike is sicky from Penn

668
00:31:22,760 --> 00:31:25,680
Speaker 1: State's a just sick guy. Hayden Hurst from South Carolina

669
00:31:25,880 --> 00:31:27,720
Speaker 1: be there in the third round. No, I wouldn't think

670
00:31:27,720 --> 00:31:29,040
Speaker 1: either one of them would be there in the third round.

671
00:31:29,080 --> 00:31:32,840
Speaker 1: But how about this name, Ian Thomas vander Mock. You

672
00:31:32,840 --> 00:31:34,560
Speaker 1: did a great job with that. Thank you, you did

673
00:31:34,560 --> 00:31:36,320
Speaker 1: a great job with that. I would love to see

674
00:31:36,400 --> 00:31:37,960
Speaker 1: him at the back end of the the third round. And

675
00:31:37,960 --> 00:31:39,760
Speaker 1: it's funny because we had a question. I don't remember

676
00:31:39,800 --> 00:31:42,040
Speaker 1: when it was, but I think we were maybe talking

677
00:31:42,040 --> 00:31:44,760
Speaker 1: to John McClain about this if we felt like going

678
00:31:44,800 --> 00:31:47,280
Speaker 1: in that there's three picks in the third round, one

679
00:31:47,320 --> 00:31:49,880
Speaker 1: to a line, one secondary. I don't want to say

680
00:31:49,920 --> 00:31:51,960
Speaker 1: that that's a lock, but I still think they'll go

681
00:31:52,040 --> 00:31:53,800
Speaker 1: all the line in secondary to continue to boast of

682
00:31:53,840 --> 00:31:55,800
Speaker 1: those areas. And we thought, okay, what could be a

683
00:31:55,840 --> 00:31:58,480
Speaker 1: wildcard third pick? And I said pass rusher at the time.

684
00:31:59,400 --> 00:32:01,920
Speaker 1: I think almost without a doubt, it ends up being

685
00:32:01,920 --> 00:32:03,920
Speaker 1: tight end at this point. Okay, we'll see how that

686
00:32:03,920 --> 00:32:06,080
Speaker 1: plays out. I know what's gonna play out really well. Though.

687
00:32:06,160 --> 00:32:08,960
Speaker 1: You talked to Danny Barrett, new running backs coach, right

688
00:32:08,960 --> 00:32:11,480
Speaker 1: here in the Hunday Texans radio studio. Pleased to be

690
00:32:15,320 --> 00:32:18,360

Speaker 1: And he goes why and I said, because he's got

693
00:32:24,640 --> 00:32:27,600
Speaker 1: a whole career in the CFL. We've got this text

694
00:32:27,720 --> 00:32:30,920
Speaker 1: ring between Mark Vannim or Andre wareing myself talking about

695

699
00:32:44,440 --> 00:32:46,560
Speaker 1: that obviously is big in our book. You know what.

700
00:32:47,560 --> 00:32:50,360
Speaker 1: I'm excited to hear that because we go way back,

701
00:32:50,400 --> 00:32:55,320
Speaker 1: as they say, back in the nineties, Andre when he

702
00:32:55,360 --> 00:32:58,080
Speaker 1: was finishing up you know, his career came through to

703
00:32:58,120 --> 00:33:01,440
Speaker 1: Ottawa rough Riders. Yeah, and uh, and we were teammates

704
00:33:01,480 --> 00:33:04,680
Speaker 1: for a short time that one year and we developed

705
00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:07,640
Speaker 1: a friendship and a relationship there and you know, we've

706
00:33:07,640 --> 00:33:10,200
Speaker 1: stayed in touch, you know, periodically over the time. And

707
00:33:10,880 --> 00:33:13,160
Speaker 1: I'm excited to be here, you know obviously, you know,

708
00:33:13,200 --> 00:33:16,080
Speaker 1: he reached out once I I signed on to come

709
00:33:16,080 --> 00:33:18,120
Speaker 1: on board, and he's excited as well to you know

710
00:33:18,200 --> 00:33:20,440
Speaker 1: that we're back in the same city. That is that's

711
00:33:20,520 --> 00:33:22,280
Speaker 1: very cool. We're talking a little bit about the CFL,

712
00:33:22,320 --> 00:33:25,640
Speaker 1: but coach the Texans in particular, or ask anybody that

713
00:33:25,680 --> 00:33:29,760
Speaker 1: comes in here, don't why Houston? Why here? What made

714
00:33:29,800 --> 00:33:33,240
Speaker 1: this an attractive destination for you? Well, a couple of things,

715
00:33:33,320 --> 00:33:36,080
Speaker 1: you know. One, uh, you know, you look at the

716
00:33:36,760 --> 00:33:39,720
Speaker 1: talent level that's here, you know, Obviously, you want to

717
00:33:39,760 --> 00:33:41,960
Speaker 1: go to a place where you have an opportunity to

718
00:33:41,960 --> 00:33:46,120
Speaker 1: succeed and be successful. And I just looked at this organization.

719
00:33:46,280 --> 00:33:48,160
Speaker 1: You know, they reached out to myself, and I think

720
00:33:48,200 --> 00:33:51,000
Speaker 1: it was a mutual feeling, you know, from the start,

721
00:33:51,120 --> 00:33:54,360
Speaker 1: you know, as far as the talent level and how

722
00:33:54,400 --> 00:33:56,760
Speaker 1: we move forward, you know, to be back to the

723
00:33:56,880 --> 00:34:00,120
Speaker 1: number one team in the South AFC South, and I

724
00:34:00,200 --> 00:34:02,120
Speaker 1: wanted to be a part of something like that. Talent

725
00:34:02,200 --> 00:34:05,520
Speaker 1: level in the backfield, offensive skill talent, I like it.

726
00:34:06,040 --> 00:34:08,240
Speaker 1: I think we got an now standing quarterback to boot

727
00:34:08,239 --> 00:34:11,640
Speaker 1: as well. And then we're putting the pieces together up front,

728
00:34:12,040 --> 00:34:14,560
Speaker 1: you know, to compliment you know, our skill positions sets.

729
00:34:14,600 --> 00:34:17,160
Speaker 1: So I'm excited about that. You know, love to coach

730
00:34:17,200 --> 00:34:18,640
Speaker 1: the game, and I got a good group of guys

731
00:34:18,680 --> 00:34:20,360
Speaker 1: in my room that I'm looking forward to working with.

732
00:34:20,719 --> 00:34:22,680
Speaker 1: When you were at the Senior Boy, I think you

733
00:34:22,760 --> 00:34:25,200
Speaker 1: may have been hired all of a few days, correct,

734
00:34:25,320 --> 00:34:27,080
Speaker 1: and we had seen that news. And then we go

735
00:34:27,120 --> 00:34:29,720
Speaker 1: to the Senior Bowl and there you are coaching, and

736
00:34:30,320 --> 00:34:32,440
Speaker 1: I was on the sideline, and I'd like to watch coaches,

737
00:34:32,480 --> 00:34:35,520
Speaker 1: having come from a coaching background, I'd like to watch coaches,

738
00:34:35,920 --> 00:34:39,880
Speaker 1: you have an energy that never stops. The players that

739
00:34:39,920 --> 00:34:42,399
Speaker 1: have played for you, what would they say about you,

740
00:34:42,480 --> 00:34:44,880
Speaker 1: Danny Barrett the coach, what would they say? It is

741
00:34:44,880 --> 00:34:47,000
Speaker 1: probably the one thing that stands out to them the

742
00:34:47,040 --> 00:34:49,359
Speaker 1: most well one. I think you hit on the head.

743
00:34:49,400 --> 00:34:52,719
Speaker 1: Are gonna bring loss of energy, positive energy, you know,

744
00:34:52,840 --> 00:34:55,200
Speaker 1: every day, you know, regardless of whether we're in the

745
00:34:55,280 --> 00:34:58,319
Speaker 1: meeting room, on the practice field, or game day. To me,

746
00:34:58,360 --> 00:35:02,480
Speaker 1: it's all the same. A former player myself and enjoying

747
00:35:02,560 --> 00:35:05,040
Speaker 1: the coaching ram. I love what I do and I

748
00:35:05,080 --> 00:35:07,960
Speaker 1: think it, Uh it shows, you know in my attitude

749
00:35:07,960 --> 00:35:10,040
Speaker 1: about the game and my approach to the game. So

750
00:35:10,280 --> 00:35:13,440
Speaker 1: I'm gonna bring positive energy every day and knowledge of

751
00:35:13,480 --> 00:35:15,920
Speaker 1: the position itself and knowledge of the game. You know,

752
00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:19,880
Speaker 1: I believe in. You know, a well prepared player is

753
00:35:19,920 --> 00:35:21,959
Speaker 1: going to be the most successful player. So we're gonna

754
00:35:21,960 --> 00:35:24,080
Speaker 1: be prepared to play each and every day and it's

755
00:35:24,120 --> 00:35:27,080
Speaker 1: gonna carry on game day. Okay, Now we gotta get

756
00:35:27,080 --> 00:35:29,280
Speaker 1: to the CFL part of this, because I'm so intrigued

757
00:35:29,320 --> 00:35:31,799
Speaker 1: by this. First of all, you got twelve guys on

758
00:35:31,840 --> 00:35:34,799
Speaker 1: the field, You've got guys going in motion all over

759
00:35:34,840 --> 00:35:38,120
Speaker 1: the place. How different is a play call in the

760
00:35:38,160 --> 00:35:44,200
Speaker 1: CFL versus the NFL, well one with all the unlimited motions.

761
00:35:44,719 --> 00:35:48,680
Speaker 1: From an offensive standpoint, it's a quarterback's dream. Okay, you

762
00:35:48,800 --> 00:35:51,279
Speaker 1: gotta love it from a quarterbacks standpoint, because you're a

763
00:35:51,320 --> 00:35:54,600
Speaker 1: series with the running start running today. Even the guys

764
00:35:54,600 --> 00:35:57,080
Speaker 1: that running four eight look like the four or five,

765
00:35:57,520 --> 00:35:59,960
Speaker 1: you know, with that running start because the ball is

766
00:36:00,040 --> 00:36:03,240
Speaker 1: out of pocket somewhere quicker. And you know, the biggest

767
00:36:03,239 --> 00:36:05,400
Speaker 1: thing what I had to get adjusted to my career

768
00:36:05,480 --> 00:36:08,719
Speaker 1: up there was getting used to three downs. Ye that's

769
00:36:08,760 --> 00:36:11,640
Speaker 1: the toughest part. Three downs, and you still got ten yards,

770
00:36:11,640 --> 00:36:14,719
Speaker 1: so there are no waste downs. So you know, you

771
00:36:14,760 --> 00:36:17,080
Speaker 1: look at first down. You gotta get something positive on

772
00:36:17,160 --> 00:36:19,120
Speaker 1: first down because you don't want to be in second

773
00:36:19,160 --> 00:36:20,759
Speaker 1: and long, just like you don't be in third and

774
00:36:20,760 --> 00:36:23,359
Speaker 1: long in the NFL. So once you get used to

775
00:36:23,400 --> 00:36:26,160
Speaker 1: that and there's no waste downs, you take advantage of

776
00:36:26,200 --> 00:36:29,440
Speaker 1: every opportunity. The game becomes so much more fun for you,

777
00:36:29,640 --> 00:36:31,759
Speaker 1: and the punter loves you because he's not that kicking

778
00:36:31,800 --> 00:36:37,320
Speaker 1: his leg out. How did that experience up there change

779
00:36:37,680 --> 00:36:41,480
Speaker 1: how you looked at the eleven man game here in

780
00:36:41,520 --> 00:36:43,239
Speaker 1: the United States? Because you went from there. You went

781
00:36:43,280 --> 00:36:44,600
Speaker 1: to the college round for a little bit, and then

782
00:36:44,600 --> 00:36:46,560
Speaker 1: you went to the NFL. How did that change the

783
00:36:46,600 --> 00:36:49,200
Speaker 1: way you perceive the game and maybe change the way

784
00:36:49,239 --> 00:36:51,080
Speaker 1: you looked at the game after spending the years in

785
00:36:51,120 --> 00:36:53,920
Speaker 1: the CFL that you did. Well, it's just a good

786
00:36:54,000 --> 00:36:57,120
Speaker 1: question too, because I had to kind of reverse my

787
00:36:57,160 --> 00:37:01,719
Speaker 1: thought process from the wide open, unlimited, bigger feel to

788
00:37:01,840 --> 00:37:04,000
Speaker 1: the smaller field. And I came back and I'm saying, Okay,

789
00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:06,600
Speaker 1: we can't do this, we can't do that. But it

790
00:37:06,719 --> 00:37:10,120
Speaker 1: also allowed me to continue to think outside the box too.

791
00:37:10,520 --> 00:37:13,319
Speaker 1: What can we do? You know, how can I help,

792
00:37:13,480 --> 00:37:16,720
Speaker 1: you know, implement different styles of offense and the places

793
00:37:16,719 --> 00:37:20,440
Speaker 1: that I've been, you know, along with the things that

794
00:37:20,440 --> 00:37:23,120
Speaker 1: we're in the CFL. You know, the biggest thing nounced

795
00:37:23,120 --> 00:37:26,040
Speaker 1: the RPOs. Yeah, you know, per se you know down

796
00:37:26,040 --> 00:37:29,239
Speaker 1: here in the NFL. That's a part of the CFL game.

797
00:37:29,360 --> 00:37:32,200
Speaker 1: Every player in the run game. So that's easy for

798
00:37:32,280 --> 00:37:34,160
Speaker 1: me to come back. I just have to get used

799
00:37:34,200 --> 00:37:37,800
Speaker 1: to the offensive lineman being down the field because suppose

800
00:37:37,880 --> 00:37:40,279
Speaker 1: they'll call it in the NFL, but they don't. It's

801
00:37:40,280 --> 00:37:42,520
Speaker 1: not even thought about it in the CFL. So that's

802
00:37:42,520 --> 00:37:45,200
Speaker 1: been the biggest thing, just that adjustment, and then how

803
00:37:45,200 --> 00:37:48,239
Speaker 1: do you utilize your personnel as far as the matchups.

804
00:37:48,239 --> 00:37:50,480
Speaker 1: You know, obviously you're running back is key, you know,

805
00:37:50,600 --> 00:37:53,800
Speaker 1: working up in the CFLs match us with linebackers and

806
00:37:54,400 --> 00:37:57,480
Speaker 1: defensive backs that per se nickel guys. So you can

807
00:37:57,520 --> 00:37:59,719
Speaker 1: get a back in the NFL that can be a

808
00:37:59,800 --> 00:38:01,920
Speaker 1: three down back for you. He's going to be special

809
00:38:02,760 --> 00:38:05,319
Speaker 1: to that end. Three down backs. We want him to

810
00:38:05,360 --> 00:38:08,920
Speaker 1: do everything, run the ball, pass, protec, catching ball, the backfilm.

811
00:38:08,960 --> 00:38:10,920
Speaker 1: We wanted to be, we want to be superstars. Those

812
00:38:10,920 --> 00:38:12,719
Speaker 1: are the things I think we'd all wanted to running back.

813
00:38:13,040 --> 00:38:15,240
Speaker 1: But it goes beyond that. For somebody that coaches the position,

814
00:38:15,640 --> 00:38:17,279
Speaker 1: What is it that you want to see in an

815
00:38:17,320 --> 00:38:21,960
Speaker 1: NFL running back? Overall consistency one, you know, not the

816
00:38:22,040 --> 00:38:23,640
Speaker 1: highs and the lows that a lot of guys have.

817
00:38:23,719 --> 00:38:25,239
Speaker 1: We can have a big game one week and you

818
00:38:25,480 --> 00:38:27,080
Speaker 1: we don't see you for a couple of weeks. So

819
00:38:27,440 --> 00:38:29,520
Speaker 1: just every day with that work ethic that you want

820
00:38:29,520 --> 00:38:32,239
Speaker 1: to continue to improve your game. One, you gotta take

821
00:38:32,239 --> 00:38:34,640
Speaker 1: care of football ball security has never won in my book.

822
00:38:34,920 --> 00:38:37,000
Speaker 1: And then you have to be productive when your number

823
00:38:37,040 --> 00:38:39,120
Speaker 1: is called, you know, what are you going to bring

824
00:38:39,120 --> 00:38:41,920
Speaker 1: to the table in your skill set that can help

825
00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:44,520
Speaker 1: us win football games? You know? And so if you

826
00:38:44,640 --> 00:38:46,560
Speaker 1: got a guy that's a first and second down back,

827
00:38:46,719 --> 00:38:49,400
Speaker 1: let's first and second down. Let's go get first downs.

828
00:38:49,440 --> 00:38:51,880
Speaker 1: And if either third down back per se for pass

829
00:38:51,960 --> 00:38:55,880
Speaker 1: protection or in the pass game, let's utilize that skill set.

830
00:38:56,080 --> 00:38:58,759
Speaker 1: Work within yourself, work within the skill set that you have,

831
00:38:59,200 --> 00:39:02,080
Speaker 1: and let's because assistant with it and take care of football.

832
00:39:02,200 --> 00:39:05,520
Speaker 1: Is there somebody in your coaching career that along the way,

833
00:39:05,600 --> 00:39:07,520
Speaker 1: or maybe just in your football career that you've looked

834
00:39:07,520 --> 00:39:10,839
Speaker 1: at as sort of a mentor somebody that you look

835
00:39:10,920 --> 00:39:13,520
Speaker 1: up to. Maybe that's not that you model everything after,

836
00:39:13,840 --> 00:39:16,840
Speaker 1: but maybe somebody that was instrumental in your career. I know,

837
00:39:16,880 --> 00:39:19,480
Speaker 1: for Bill O'Brien was me, but for you who would

838
00:39:19,480 --> 00:39:22,799
Speaker 1: have not been kidding of course, but he wouldn't be

839
00:39:22,800 --> 00:39:24,920
Speaker 1: here without me. I know that, amen. But is there

840
00:39:24,960 --> 00:39:27,360
Speaker 1: somebody like that for you that you look at and say,

841
00:39:27,520 --> 00:39:29,560
Speaker 1: this guy was very instrumental in my career and got

842
00:39:29,560 --> 00:39:31,960
Speaker 1: me this point. Well, I'll tell you what it's. It's

843
00:39:32,000 --> 00:39:34,640
Speaker 1: a combination of guys that I work with, you know,

844
00:39:34,760 --> 00:39:37,839
Speaker 1: starting out, you know, especially in the CFL. You know,

845
00:39:38,560 --> 00:39:42,319
Speaker 1: I went from the playing field straight into coaching, you know.

846
00:39:42,440 --> 00:39:45,040
Speaker 1: And you know, obviously you know my background is I

847
00:39:45,040 --> 00:39:47,920
Speaker 1: played quarterback, you know, in the CFL and throughout my

848
00:39:48,000 --> 00:39:51,040
Speaker 1: college years as well, and so when I first started coaching,

849
00:39:51,160 --> 00:39:53,600
Speaker 1: went right from playing to coaching. And so a guy

850
00:39:53,640 --> 00:39:55,960
Speaker 1: by the name of whiley Wano gave me that first opportunity.

851
00:39:56,000 --> 00:39:58,160
Speaker 1: So I'm always going to be grateful and thankful for him.

852
00:39:58,560 --> 00:40:01,200
Speaker 1: He saw in me to work ethnic as a player

853
00:40:01,520 --> 00:40:03,919
Speaker 1: to allow me to have a room the very next

854
00:40:04,000 --> 00:40:07,440
Speaker 1: year guys that I had played alongside of, and so

855
00:40:07,480 --> 00:40:09,960
Speaker 1: I'm always going to be thankful for that. Roy Shivers

856
00:40:10,080 --> 00:40:12,239
Speaker 1: is another gentleman you know that comes to mind. He's

857
00:40:12,280 --> 00:40:15,279
Speaker 1: a former CFL player back, sorry NFL player back in

858
00:40:15,280 --> 00:40:18,520
Speaker 1: the seventies, running back with the Saint Louis Cardinals. He

859
00:40:18,560 --> 00:40:20,520
Speaker 1: gave me an opportunity to be a head coach in

860
00:40:20,080 --> 00:40:24,240
Speaker 1: the Canadian Football League. So against these guys were instrument

861
00:40:24,360 --> 00:40:26,640
Speaker 1: in helping me to develop not only the mindset to

862
00:40:26,640 --> 00:40:29,839
Speaker 1: be a coach, but also how to evaluate talent. So

863
00:40:29,880 --> 00:40:31,719
Speaker 1: I'll go back to those two guys, and since I've

864
00:40:31,719 --> 00:40:34,440
Speaker 1: been in the States, you know, obviously Georgia Leary gave

865
00:40:34,480 --> 00:40:37,360
Speaker 1: me an opportunity, you know, at Central Florida. You know

866
00:40:37,760 --> 00:40:40,279
Speaker 1: who had the opportunity to turn that program around and

867
00:40:40,360 --> 00:40:42,680
Speaker 1: keep it going to Where's that today? Nouns in the

868
00:40:42,760 --> 00:40:45,640
Speaker 1: national spotlight and uh and so again. A lot of

869
00:40:45,640 --> 00:40:49,160
Speaker 1: the guys in the NFL, you know, coaches in the NFL,

870
00:40:49,200 --> 00:40:51,920
Speaker 1: the running back guys that I've come across, stuff Mitchell's

871
00:40:53,560 --> 00:40:56,600
Speaker 1: you got Skipper, you know at Carolina, those guys there

872
00:40:56,600 --> 00:41:00,160
Speaker 1: Stewsville at Denver, even though he's at Miami now being me,

873
00:41:00,239 --> 00:41:04,120
Speaker 1: all those guys Douce Daily, all those guys have reached out,

874
00:41:04,200 --> 00:41:06,360
Speaker 1: you know, as I came into the league and offered

875
00:41:06,640 --> 00:41:09,319
Speaker 1: well whatever experience they've had to myself as well. So

876
00:41:09,360 --> 00:41:12,040
Speaker 1: I'm grateful for those guys as well. I've thought about

877
00:41:12,239 --> 00:41:15,200
Speaker 1: coaching running backs for a long time, and from this standpoint, coach,

878
00:41:15,440 --> 00:41:18,160
Speaker 1: what's the most difficult thing with a running back? Because

879
00:41:18,480 --> 00:41:21,879
Speaker 1: I remember Tony Dorset saying, don't don't tell me where

880
00:41:21,920 --> 00:41:24,600
Speaker 1: to run, just let me, just let me go. How

881
00:41:24,600 --> 00:41:28,719
Speaker 1: difficult is it to coach a running back and say, Okay,

882
00:41:28,880 --> 00:41:30,440
Speaker 1: you went to this hole, but you should have gone

883
00:41:30,480 --> 00:41:33,399
Speaker 1: to this hole. And yet you want the running back

884
00:41:33,440 --> 00:41:35,920
Speaker 1: to you just want them to just go at times,

885
00:41:35,920 --> 00:41:38,319
Speaker 1: How tough is that to kind of navigate with them,

886
00:41:38,360 --> 00:41:41,040
Speaker 1: those guys that just want to go what they see

887
00:41:41,120 --> 00:41:43,560
Speaker 1: and run where they see. How tough is that the coach?

888
00:41:44,200 --> 00:41:49,040
Speaker 1: And again it's difficult for those guys to understand one

889
00:41:49,560 --> 00:41:53,040
Speaker 1: that they have to be patient. First of all, you

890
00:41:53,080 --> 00:41:56,920
Speaker 1: know they're patient and understand what we're trying to compass.

891
00:41:57,480 --> 00:41:59,920
Speaker 1: What I'm saying is that from a scheme schematic example,

892
00:42:00,320 --> 00:42:04,080
Speaker 1: you know, from a schematic standpoint, you know, understanding the

893
00:42:04,160 --> 00:42:06,799
Speaker 1: wise and the winds of the play, you know, and

894
00:42:06,840 --> 00:42:10,000
Speaker 1: how you want to approach that they're running backs because

895
00:42:10,040 --> 00:42:12,480
Speaker 1: they run the football right, okay, But to teach them

896
00:42:12,520 --> 00:42:15,120
Speaker 1: to have that patience and the set up blocks, that's

897
00:42:15,120 --> 00:42:17,720
Speaker 1: some of the toughest things. It's not always how fast

898
00:42:17,800 --> 00:42:20,480
Speaker 1: you can get there, is once you get there, can

899
00:42:20,520 --> 00:42:23,359
Speaker 1: you accelerate through and get to the second level. I

900
00:42:23,400 --> 00:42:26,080
Speaker 1: think that's the toughest part. The initial the initial hole

901
00:42:26,160 --> 00:42:29,560
Speaker 1: and cut. Either it's there, it's not once they get there.

902
00:42:30,160 --> 00:42:32,359
Speaker 1: Now they have to understand do I go left right

903
00:42:32,440 --> 00:42:34,560
Speaker 1: or do I go straight? Do I make a move

904
00:42:34,680 --> 00:42:36,920
Speaker 1: or do I try to run them over? Those are

905
00:42:36,920 --> 00:42:38,960
Speaker 1: the things I try to help the guys with in

906
00:42:39,000 --> 00:42:41,800
Speaker 1: the running game, and from a running standpoint, the biggest

907
00:42:41,840 --> 00:42:44,600
Speaker 1: challenge for me is now the game is evolved from

908
00:42:44,600 --> 00:42:47,240
Speaker 1: your twenty door set days to more of a passing

909
00:42:47,280 --> 00:42:49,759
Speaker 1: threat now coming out of the backfield. So with the

910
00:42:50,239 --> 00:42:53,000
Speaker 1: quarterback background that I have, you know, I take pride

911
00:42:53,040 --> 00:42:56,240
Speaker 1: in the guys. One. We should never drop a pass, okay,

912
00:42:56,280 --> 00:42:58,319
Speaker 1: because you know I'm throwing balls at practice like I
