5
00:00:14,760 --> 00:00:18,680
Speaker 1: than forty eight hours away from the Texans kicking off

6
00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:21,560
Speaker 1: the twenty twenty one regular season at home against the

7
00:00:21,720 --> 00:00:26,000

Speaker 1: He sat down with Mark Vandermer earlier today. We're gonna

10
00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:34,120
Speaker 1: go through the injury report and all things that have

11
00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:36,519
Speaker 1: taken place, kind of the odds and ends that you

12
00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:39,480
Speaker 1: need to know. We're also going to have an exclusive

13
00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:42,640
Speaker 1: one on one with Mark Ingram as dpcity had a

14
00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:47,520
Speaker 1: chance to go deep slant with the podcast king mark

15
00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:49,640
Speaker 1: Ingram and also a guy that's probably gonna see the

16

Speaker 1: also here from the men behind the mikes. Mark Vandermy

19
00:00:58,400 --> 00:00:59,960
Speaker 1: had a chance to catch up with an old friend

20
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:02,920
Speaker 1: of mine and a friend of ours, and that's Frank Frangie.

21
00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:06,240
Speaker 1: The voice of the Jaguars, So we've got that to

22
00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:09,119
Speaker 1: look forward to. Then I've got to make my predictions

23
00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:13,560
Speaker 1: against the spread and straight up for every NFL game

24
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:17,959
Speaker 1: this weekend. Oh and did I forget we got Tyrod

25
00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:23,000
Speaker 1: Taylor to close down the show. How about that? Cully, Frangie,

26
00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:28,479

27
00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:30,800
Speaker 1: on ones with all of them. So we got plenty

28
00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:34,000
Speaker 1: to look after, plenty plenty to do, a lot to

29
00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:37,520
Speaker 1: do in this show, and we're gonna kick it off

30
00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:39,800
Speaker 1: with the man I mentioned the head coach coach in

31
00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:43,600
Speaker 1: his first NFL game as a head coach for your

32
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:46,160
Speaker 1: Houston Texans as David Cully, Mark vander Manna chance to

33
00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:48,960
Speaker 1: catch up with him and see how coach Cully was

34
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:51,560
Speaker 1: feeling heading into this one. Coach, So here we are

35
00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:53,760
Speaker 1: with the first one. What do you tell your team

36
00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:56,520
Speaker 1: before game like this? Lots of prep going in right

37
00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:59,120
Speaker 1: before it. Is there something additional to say or is

38
00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:00,680
Speaker 1: it just about go out there and do what we

39
00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:03,920
Speaker 1: talked about, be yourself, do the things we've been doing

40
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:07,920
Speaker 1: in practice which have been the right thing, and you know,

41
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:11,120
Speaker 1: just enjoyed the moment. You know, go out and go

42
00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:13,000
Speaker 1: out and play, go out and do the things that

43
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:17,400
Speaker 1: we've been practicing all week, and then good things will happen.

44
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:20,760
Speaker 1: And that's basically how we approach it. Let's start with

45
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:24,480
Speaker 1: the third phase first, special teams. And maybe it's not third,

46
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:27,800
Speaker 1: maybe it's more important in many people's eyes, But what

47
00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:30,040
Speaker 1: do you make of the special teams matchup in this

48
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:33,640
Speaker 1: game with the Jaguars, Well, obviously they've got a tremendous

49
00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:36,360
Speaker 1: returner in agnew who's one of the very best returners

50
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:38,640
Speaker 1: in the game. He has been for a while. We

51
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:42,160
Speaker 1: feel like we have one two and Andre Roberts. That's

52
00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:44,440
Speaker 1: that's something that our cover teams is going to really

53
00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:46,200
Speaker 1: have to make sure that we're taking care of because

54
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:51,679
Speaker 1: of him. Again, we all know that complimentary football involves

55
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:53,960
Speaker 1: all three. You just said this is a third. It

56
00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:57,280
Speaker 1: is a third, but they are divided in thirds, and

57
00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 1: one third is not important more important than the other thing.

58
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:04,119
Speaker 1: And at some point mark during the year, all three

59
00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:06,320
Speaker 1: of those phases is going to be a big factor

60
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:09,079
Speaker 1: in winning a football game. And you never know when

61
00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:11,360
Speaker 1: it's going to happen. You know, some offense, maybe have

62
00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:14,320
Speaker 1: a bad day, defense whatnot. And then obviously it's somewhere

63
00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:16,280
Speaker 1: on Its something that happens on the special teams that

64
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:18,560
Speaker 1: turns a complete game around and puts you in a

65
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:20,720
Speaker 1: position to win a ball game. So it's very important

66
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:22,720
Speaker 1: and I feel good it's a good matchup for us tonight.

67
00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:25,920
Speaker 1: What about the conditioning factor in this game, coach, because

68
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:28,720
Speaker 1: here you are both you and the Jaguars. None of

69
00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:31,200
Speaker 1: the starters have played a full game yet you've played

70
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:33,680
Speaker 1: these preseason games and done whatever you've done, So what

71
00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:35,680
Speaker 1: about that part of it? Well, the thing about that

72
00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:38,520
Speaker 1: is is I think the excitement going into the game

73
00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:41,760
Speaker 1: is so high right now. And then the other thing

74
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:43,960
Speaker 1: about that mark is then the speed of the game

75
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:47,760
Speaker 1: from preseason to regular season is a complete different deal.

76
00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:51,280
Speaker 1: But our practices have been geared for us to play

77
00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:54,920
Speaker 1: sixty minutes. Those guys have done a great job of

78
00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:58,480
Speaker 1: doing that. I feel like our strength and conditioning coaches

79
00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:01,040
Speaker 1: have done a great job of making sure that we're

80
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:04,480
Speaker 1: in good condition. We set up practice to make sure

81
00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:06,600
Speaker 1: that we get in that condition and when we're doing

82
00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:09,480
Speaker 1: our plays, not just running after practice, but during the

83
00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:12,880
Speaker 1: middle of practice, all during practice, we're always doing things.

84
00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:14,720
Speaker 1: We're always getting in and out of huddle. We always do,

85
00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:17,599
Speaker 1: and that's conditioning, and that's getting ready for the game,

86
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:20,520
Speaker 1: and we feel good about where we are right now. Offensively,

87
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:24,680
Speaker 1: how much is scripted early on versus how you'll react

88
00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:27,719
Speaker 1: to whatever they present to you. Defensively, Well, for the

89
00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:29,240
Speaker 1: most part, we're just going to kind of we have

90
00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:31,120
Speaker 1: our plan going into the game and how we want

91
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:33,960
Speaker 1: to approach things, and then obviously during the ball game

92
00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:36,320
Speaker 1: you have to be able to make adjustments. We know

93
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:38,640
Speaker 1: what we want to do. We're not going to force

94
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:40,520
Speaker 1: what we want to do. We're going to basically do

95
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:43,599
Speaker 1: what they allow us to do, and basically, as the

96
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:45,800
Speaker 1: game unfolds, we're going to take what they give us,

97
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:47,719
Speaker 1: and we're going to be who we are during the

98
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:50,440
Speaker 1: ball game and let it go from there. How do

99
00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:52,880
Speaker 1: you feel about the preparation last week and having a

100
00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:54,960
Speaker 1: couple of days off for the guys, getting them off

101
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:57,800
Speaker 1: their feet, and then whatever you've done in practice this week, Well,

102
00:04:57,839 --> 00:05:00,160
Speaker 1: it gave us a chance to kind of recharge a

103
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:03,320
Speaker 1: little bit coming out of training camp. And that's still

104
00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:05,200
Speaker 1: one thing that I wasn't sure how would how it

105
00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:07,440
Speaker 1: would be as far as not having a fourth preseason game.

106
00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:10,040
Speaker 1: Mark I kind of liked the fact of having that

107
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:13,800
Speaker 1: time to ourselves, not having to prepare for a preseason

108
00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:16,160
Speaker 1: game that was the fourth one, that would have been

109
00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:19,320
Speaker 1: the last one. Basically, we were able to concentrate all

110
00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:22,640
Speaker 1: week on ourselves and spend a little bit of time

111
00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:24,719
Speaker 1: of getting ready for Jacksonville because we knew that was

112
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:27,520
Speaker 1: the opponent. But the most important thing was we were

113
00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:29,560
Speaker 1: allowed to be able to focus on ourselves to get

114
00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:32,240
Speaker 1: things corrected and then move them to this week. Would

115
00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:34,680
Speaker 1: it all be in Jacksonville? And it was a good

116
00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:37,039
Speaker 1: transition for us. Coach, thanks so much for joining us.

117
00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:39,200
Speaker 1: Good luck you welcome, Mark, thank you. So there we

118
00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:41,800
Speaker 1: go a little bit of coach color to kick off

119
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:45,120
Speaker 1: the show. All right, let's get into our hot reads,

120
00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:47,680
Speaker 1: presented to you by Geico fifteen minutes to save you

121
00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:52,760
Speaker 1: fifteen percent or more on car insurance. And we're gonna

122
00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:57,640
Speaker 1: go right away to the status report. Status reporting to report.

123
00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:01,960
Speaker 1: On Friday, it's the same thing. Tuesday, I'm sorry, Wednesday,

124
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:05,960
Speaker 1: and Thursday it's injury report. Now, I don't think much

125
00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:10,960
Speaker 1: really has changed here than we expected. We had a

126
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:14,320
Speaker 1: couple of key ones that will take a look at

127
00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:17,760
Speaker 1: now this will be national news and I'm sure as

128
00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:20,000
Speaker 1: national news once he hit the wire, Shawn Watson's out.

129
00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:21,880
Speaker 1: We know that, and like I said the other night,

130
00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:26,640
Speaker 1: we that's just gonna be that way for the rest

131
00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:28,960
Speaker 1: of time or as long as the Shaun is on

132
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:32,160
Speaker 1: this roster, unless something significantly changes. So we know it's

133
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:36,280
Speaker 1: gonna happen. We'll step aside. The dnps that practice today,

134
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:40,160
Speaker 1: Kevin Pierre Lewis is questionable, the second straight day that

135
00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:44,280
Speaker 1: KPO did not practice, but he is listened as questionable.

136
00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:47,719
Speaker 1: John Grenard showed up on the injury report. Now he

137
00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:49,320
Speaker 1: had been dealing with ankle injury, but this is an

138
00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:53,480
Speaker 1: ankle he's dealing with the illness. He is also questionable

139
00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:59,159
Speaker 1: out for the Texans. Lonnie Johnson Junior, dealing with a

140
00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:02,320
Speaker 1: thigh injury. Is not practiced all week, so it's not

141
00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:05,280
Speaker 1: too much of a surprise that he's been dealing with

142
00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:09,840
Speaker 1: that thigh injury. So he is out. So Johnson out,

143
00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:13,640
Speaker 1: Grenard questionable, KPL questionable, all three of them on the

144
00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:16,640
Speaker 1: defensive side. The good news, Lee Collins and Whitney Merciless

145
00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:21,360
Speaker 1: were both full participants at practice. They are in and

146
00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:25,280
Speaker 1: ready to go. On the Jaguar side, I think we

147
00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:28,520
Speaker 1: knew this was coming because I said it on Wednesday.

148
00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:31,280
Speaker 1: I'd heard it at Urban Mars press conference. Trey Herndon

149
00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:36,080
Speaker 1: out the corner. That means we'll see CJ. Henderson and

150
00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:39,160
Speaker 1: Shaquille Griffin, which I think we were gonna see anyways.

151
00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:41,280
Speaker 1: But I can imagine with those three they'd probably be

152
00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:44,240
Speaker 1: a little bit of rotation, but we won't see that.

153
00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:47,920
Speaker 1: Will we see the second round? Rookie Tyson Campbell, Well,

154
00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:51,240
Speaker 1: he's listened as questionable, and then showing up on today's

155
00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:55,760
Speaker 1: injury report was also rookie edge player Jordan Smith out

156
00:07:55,760 --> 00:08:00,280
Speaker 1: of UAB. He's dealing with the knee issue. And you

157
00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:03,920
Speaker 1: see that pop up like that, just kind of out

158
00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:08,400
Speaker 1: of the blue. It's not always the greatest news, and

159
00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:12,560
Speaker 1: I would hate that for Jordan Smith. So in totality

160
00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:16,720
Speaker 1: out Lonnie Johnson for the Texans, Trey Herndon for the Jaguars,

161
00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:22,480
Speaker 1: questionable for the Texans, John Grenard KPL for the Jags,

162
00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:27,440
Speaker 1: Tyson Campbell, Jordan Smith. Ironically, everybody shows up on an

163
00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:31,400
Speaker 1: injury report that could be in this game is a

164
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:36,000
Speaker 1: defensive player. Just interesting. Something that kind of stood out

165
00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:39,520
Speaker 1: to me as I was sort of going through the

166
00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:48,160
Speaker 1: game against the Jacksonville Jaguars. So that is your status report.

167
00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:52,760
Speaker 1: Let's get to our next hot read, and that is

168
00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:58,520
Speaker 1: going to be Sunday, September twelfth, noon kick Sports Radio

169
00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:02,160
Speaker 1: six ten Texans taking on to Jacksonville Jaguars. If you

170
00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:05,400
Speaker 1: didn't already know, it's always good to go back and

171
00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:10,040
Speaker 1: review what exactly is going to happen, when it's going

172
00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:13,240
Speaker 1: to happen, all those kind of things, and that is

173
00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:19,240
Speaker 1: what's going to happen on Sunday at Energy Stadium. Cannot wait. Now.

174
00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:24,240
Speaker 1: It's also Liberty White Day, which means there's all kinds

175
00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:26,800
Speaker 1: of things going on. It's the day after September eleventh,

176
00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:33,520
Speaker 1: so there is going to be recognition of our first responders, firefighters.

177
00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:36,360
Speaker 1: I know there's a barbecue yesterday, so there's gonna be

178
00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:39,480
Speaker 1: a lot of recognition of people from that realm. And

179
00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:45,360
Speaker 1: for absolutely, without question, good reason, Liberty White Out presented

180
00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:48,839
Speaker 1: by BHP in on of the twentieth anniversary. Man the

181
00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:53,360
Speaker 1: twentieth anniversary. And it's interesting because while my wife and

182
00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:56,800
Speaker 1: daughter were home, we would look at Netflix trying to

183
00:09:56,800 --> 00:09:58,880
Speaker 1: find a movie that we could watch, and there's a

184
00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:03,240
Speaker 1: documentary out nine to eleven and I just couldn't. I

185
00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:05,520
Speaker 1: can't do it. I don't know why. It's just a

186
00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:08,360
Speaker 1: I mean, it's such an awful day in our America,

187
00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:13,280
Speaker 1: in our history United States, and I just can't. It's

188
00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:17,959
Speaker 1: so hard. And I guarantee you the celebration will be outstanding.

189
00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:21,480
Speaker 1: Captain Jason Wilson from the Houston Fire Department will lead

190
00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:24,360
Speaker 1: the team out of the tunnel as this week's home

191
00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:28,120
Speaker 1: field advantage. Captain Wilson worked on Texas Task Force One,

192
00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:30,559
Speaker 1: which was a FEMA urban search and rescue unit that

193
00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:33,760
Speaker 1: responded to September eleven attacks on the World Trade Center

194
00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:36,840
Speaker 1: and worked around o'clock at Ground zero. Additionally, the NFL

195
00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:40,160
Speaker 1: will be doing a universal national anthem performed by a

196
00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:43,920
Speaker 1: surviving child, Juliette Candella, from the nine to eleven site

197
00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:46,600
Speaker 1: in New York City. The piece will be produced by

198
00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:51,880
Speaker 1: NFL Films. Then we broadcast across all nine game broadcasts

199
00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:57,200
Speaker 1: that I guarantee you, I will I will cry. It's

200
00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:01,080
Speaker 1: it's just an incredible thing. There were so many people.

201
00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:03,040
Speaker 1: I lost. A friend of mine from college that was

202
00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:04,960
Speaker 1: in the World Trade Center, worked in the World Trade Center.

203
00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:07,320
Speaker 1: But I'll never forget getting a call this was really

204
00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:10,040
Speaker 1: kind of before texts were and my sister in law

205
00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:13,560
Speaker 1: called us. We were living in Charlotte. They were living

206
00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:16,600
Speaker 1: in Charlotte. We were living in Burlington, North Carolina, and

207
00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:20,040
Speaker 1: called and said that my brother in law Ben was

208
00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:23,400
Speaker 1: flying to Boston and we all know them, not eleven attacks.

209
00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:28,040
Speaker 1: The flights originated from Boston, and so on their way

210
00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:30,080
Speaker 1: to Boston, they flew over New York that he could

211
00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:32,880
Speaker 1: see just the tragedy down below, because it was a

212
00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:35,560
Speaker 1: beautiful like sunny day. It was clear as could be

213
00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:39,480
Speaker 1: and they could see down below something wasn't right. They

214
00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:43,320
Speaker 1: were the last flight in the United States, and my

215
00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:45,640
Speaker 1: brother in law said they'd go back. They picked somebody

216
00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:48,720
Speaker 1: up in New York, carvered headed to toe and soot.

217
00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:52,079
Speaker 1: It was just such a man twentieth anniversary, it feels

218
00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:56,480
Speaker 1: like time has both flown and stood still, but remembering

219
00:11:56,520 --> 00:11:59,400
Speaker 1: that day was it obviously is what we all will

220
00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:03,440
Speaker 1: do on Sun Day in poems the people that were

221
00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:06,920
Speaker 1: so instrumental in helping us get back on track. And

222
00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:09,600
Speaker 1: then we're gonna play football game and hopefully enjoy the

223
00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:12,280
Speaker 1: heck out of it against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Coming up,

224
00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:14,959
Speaker 1: a guy that I know enjoys playing the game more

225
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:17,360
Speaker 1: than basically anybody I think I've ever met, and that's

226
00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:19,920
Speaker 1: mark Ingram. He went one on one with Deep Slant

227
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:22,400
Speaker 1: Deep City, and we'll have that next our one on

235
00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:54,040
Speaker 1: One is Deep City, one is mark Ingram. And these

236
00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:56,520
Speaker 1: two sat down and had one heck of it, one

237
00:12:56,559 --> 00:12:59,679
Speaker 1: heck of a chat, and we call it a Deep

238
00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:02,520
Speaker 1: Slant Interview of the Week sponsored by Xfinity Deep You

Speaker 1: three time pro bowler, eleven year vet, first year with

242
00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:14,160
Speaker 1: the Texans. Mark. I love interviewing you. I've seen you

243
00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:16,040
Speaker 1: out on the field and you have so much energy

244
00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:17,800
Speaker 1: and I know you say that this is just who

245
00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:20,720
Speaker 1: you are all the time. But to me, it feels

246
00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:23,520
Speaker 1: like you've been here longer than just throughout training camp

247
00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:26,160
Speaker 1: in this offseason. Does it feel the same way to you, Yeah,

248
00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:29,040
Speaker 1: you know, I just think being around good people and

249
00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:33,040
Speaker 1: you know, just been feel like home, feel comfortable around

250
00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:37,000
Speaker 1: my guys, feel comfortable around the staff. Everyone makes you know,

251
00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:39,520
Speaker 1: feel good, and so it's been an easy, smooth transition

252
00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:41,920
Speaker 1: and definitely feels like I've been here longer than just

253
00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:46,440
Speaker 1: like two months or whatever it's been. But everyone's been

254
00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:49,480
Speaker 1: very nice, and especially you, so oh well, thank you,

255
00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:51,800
Speaker 1: thank you. Well, you know, I've I've seen you out

256
00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:53,480
Speaker 1: on the field. It seems like it, whether it's the

257
00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:56,079
Speaker 1: running backs or even on the defensive side of the ball,

258
00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:57,800
Speaker 1: like the vets, like you're in with all of them.

259
00:13:57,800 --> 00:13:59,439
Speaker 1: Because we used to do this question of the day

260
00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:01,960
Speaker 1: in camp and everybody was joking around with you. Everyone

261
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:05,559
Speaker 1: felt very comfortable making fun of you and playing around

262
00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:08,800
Speaker 1: with you. So it seems like you get along with

263
00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:10,880
Speaker 1: everybody no matter what side of the ball or what

264
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:14,400
Speaker 1: level of experience they have. So what's your secret? I

265
00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:16,559
Speaker 1: want to know what the secret is to just getting

266
00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:19,080
Speaker 1: into a locker room and just getting that familiar with God,

267
00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:21,320
Speaker 1: especially a bunch of new guys that quickly. Man, I

268
00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:23,440
Speaker 1: think it's just being honest and being genuine. It's just

269
00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:26,680
Speaker 1: being real, Like when somebody's trying to put up a

270
00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:28,920
Speaker 1: front or like forcing something, like you can kind of tell,

271
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:31,160
Speaker 1: like if it's fabricated or if it's not real, it's

272
00:14:31,160 --> 00:14:33,440
Speaker 1: not genuine. You can kind of like feel it. So

273
00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:36,600
Speaker 1: I just try to be genuine, just try to be real,

274
00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:40,200
Speaker 1: Just try to be myself. I'm a human being who

275
00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:42,720
Speaker 1: you know. I've had successes, I've had failures. I've been

276
00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:45,840
Speaker 1: able to overcome adversity. I have a family that I love,

277
00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:47,280
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. I want to be the

278
00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:49,360
Speaker 1: best at what I do. I work my butt off

279
00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:51,480
Speaker 1: and I have my flaws. So I just try to

280
00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:53,440
Speaker 1: be real. I just try to be genuine. Just just

281
00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:56,800
Speaker 1: connect with everybody and just treat people how I want

282
00:14:56,800 --> 00:14:59,920
Speaker 1: to be treated. Like that sounds so simple. My parents

283
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:02,360
Speaker 1: and my grandparents and everyone just kind of brought me

284
00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:05,560
Speaker 1: up on those principles respect, you know, treat people how

285
00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:07,840
Speaker 1: you want to be treated. And I just try to

286
00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:10,560
Speaker 1: do that, you know, wherever I go. And I just

287
00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:14,000
Speaker 1: have some great teammates who are about the same thing.

288
00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:17,720
Speaker 1: So whether it's on defense, offense, O line, D line, dbs, whatever,

289
00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:21,440
Speaker 1: it is just great vibes, great camaraderie and real recognize,

290
00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:25,560
Speaker 1: real well understood. Ain't got to be explained and as

291
00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:28,080
Speaker 1: simple as that. All right, So you signed here because

292
00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:30,360
Speaker 1: you know David Culley and David Culley had said that

293
00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:32,440
Speaker 1: they brought you here because you were really a part

294
00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:33,760
Speaker 1: of what they wanted to do, and he knew what

295
00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:35,720
Speaker 1: you were able to do obviously with your time with

296
00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:39,960
Speaker 1: the Ravens when you signed here, was this what your role?

297
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:41,520
Speaker 1: What you thought it was going to be. Has it

298
00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:43,200
Speaker 1: turned into what you thought it was going to be?

299
00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:44,840
Speaker 1: Because I think when you signed here, none of us

300
00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:47,200
Speaker 1: thought there would be five running backs on this roster,

301
00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:51,440
Speaker 1: but obviously it's such a good versatile group that it's

302
00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:53,880
Speaker 1: hard to let anyone go. So is it what you

303
00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:55,880
Speaker 1: expected when you signed with the team and how is

304
00:15:55,920 --> 00:15:57,840
Speaker 1: it shaking out so far for you? I mean, we

305
00:15:57,960 --> 00:16:00,560
Speaker 1: just have a group of great guys, like both on

306
00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:03,200
Speaker 1: the field off the field. When you have DJ, he's

307
00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:08,280
Speaker 1: been All Pro Rex playing nine years, Phil two thousand

308
00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:11,240
Speaker 1: yard seasons, is Rooty year in the second year Pro

309
00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:14,520
Speaker 1: Bowl Scottie a young guy who is explosive if he

310
00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:17,160
Speaker 1: could do everything very well. And I think our running

311
00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:19,120
Speaker 1: back room is just very virgatile, you know what I mean.

312
00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:22,560
Speaker 1: We all are running backs who can affect the game

313
00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:25,480
Speaker 1: and in many different ways. I feel like we all

314
00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:27,120
Speaker 1: can run the ball. I feel like we all could

315
00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:28,680
Speaker 1: come out the backfield and catch the ball, feel like

316
00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:31,200
Speaker 1: we all could pass protect. I take pride in being

317
00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:33,920
Speaker 1: a complete back and three down back, and now my

318
00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:36,360
Speaker 1: role with in the offense, you know, I'm gonna just

319
00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:37,960
Speaker 1: try to be the best at it, you know what

320
00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:39,800
Speaker 1: I mean, do everything I can to make plays and

321
00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:42,120
Speaker 1: put my team in success where we can win games.

322
00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:45,040
Speaker 1: So whatever my role is, whatever they call my number,

323
00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:47,920
Speaker 1: you know, I'm gonna be trying to do my best,

324
00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:51,400
Speaker 1: do my part to help us have success. So I

325
00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:53,440
Speaker 1: believe in myself as being a complete back and three

326
00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:56,000
Speaker 1: down back guy could run inside outside, come out the backfield,

327
00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:59,360
Speaker 1: run routs, catch the ball, pick up, pass protection, third downs,

328
00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:01,960
Speaker 1: whatever it may be. I work on that. I craft

329
00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:06,320
Speaker 1: that daily yearly, you know. So I'm confident in my

330
00:17:06,320 --> 00:17:08,199
Speaker 1: abilities in that way. But whatever my role is on

331
00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:11,199
Speaker 1: the team and thus far, I'm gonna do everything I

332
00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:12,720
Speaker 1: can to make sure I'm doing it to the best

333
00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:14,879
Speaker 1: of my ability and I'm putting myself in position a

334
00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:17,440
Speaker 1: success to help the team. You've talked about some challenges

335
00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:19,720
Speaker 1: you have in twenty twenty, just with COVID and and

336
00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:22,440
Speaker 1: injuries and everything like that. Did you do anything differently

337
00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:26,560
Speaker 1: this offseason heading into year eleven. No, not necessarily. I

338
00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:30,760
Speaker 1: think the things that I kind of ran into last year,

339
00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:33,960
Speaker 1: it's just some things you can't control. I had somebody

340
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:36,800
Speaker 1: fall on my ankle and kind of sprain my ankle,

341
00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:38,600
Speaker 1: and that put me out for a few weeks, and

342
00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:41,159
Speaker 1: then obviously the COVID thing that put me out, and

343
00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:44,560
Speaker 1: then just you know how things went. You know, the

344
00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:47,679
Speaker 1: organization wanted to go in a certain way, and you know,

345
00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:50,840
Speaker 1: I never felt like I was less of a player

346
00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:53,679
Speaker 1: or my abilities had hindered. I just felt like, you know,

347
00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:57,119
Speaker 1: there were just some circumstances that had happened, and you know,

348
00:17:57,160 --> 00:17:59,840
Speaker 1: it just that happened to be twenty twenty, you know,

349
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:02,720
Speaker 1: So this offseason, I just went back to the drawing board.

350
00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:05,959
Speaker 1: I was healthy because I really didn't get too much

351
00:18:06,040 --> 00:18:09,000
Speaker 1: wear on my body last year. I didn't have many opportunities,

352
00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:12,199
Speaker 1: so as bad as that was, I felt fresh and

353
00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:14,760
Speaker 1: healthy going into the offseason. So going into offseason, why

354
00:18:14,760 --> 00:18:16,480
Speaker 1: I didn't have any elements or any injuries or anything

355
00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:18,440
Speaker 1: I was nursing. I was able to attack the offseason,

356
00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:21,320
Speaker 1: have a great offseason of training, have a great offseason

357
00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:24,960
Speaker 1: of prehab, great offseason of treatment, And I think all

358
00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:27,600
Speaker 1: those variables kind of helped me have a great offseason

359
00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:28,920
Speaker 1: where I was able to improve, when I was able

360
00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:32,719
Speaker 1: to get better, where I was able to get fast, strong, explosive, healthy,

361
00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:35,160
Speaker 1: and I was able to come into training camp healthy

362
00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:37,400
Speaker 1: and attack training camp and have a good training camp.

363
00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:39,120
Speaker 1: And I'm just thankful to be on the team and

364
00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:41,080
Speaker 1: have opportunity to play this game that I love, be

365
00:18:41,119 --> 00:18:43,400
Speaker 1: able to carry the ball and be able to play football.

366
00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:46,320
Speaker 1: So I didn't really do anything different this offseason. I

367
00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:48,600
Speaker 1: just went back to the drawing board, kept working, kept

368
00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:52,399
Speaker 1: grinding mentally, physically, emotionally, putting myself in a good position

369
00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:54,480
Speaker 1: where I could come into this season have a big year.

370
00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:57,000
Speaker 1: You talk about grinding, and you're grinning on the field,

371
00:18:57,000 --> 00:18:58,880
Speaker 1: but then you're doing all these things off the field too.

372
00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:01,600
Speaker 1: I'm so impressed with you. Or it's a weekly podcast,

373
00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:04,119
Speaker 1: right the players tribute and it's still coming out, so

374
00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:08,000
Speaker 1: i'm i'm I'm wondering, like how you manage to balance

375
00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:09,800
Speaker 1: all of them. But first, let's talk about your podcast.

376
00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:12,840
Speaker 1: It's trust levels or is it big trust level trust levels?

377
00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:14,800
Speaker 1: But you know it's always big trust. You are a

378
00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:17,760
Speaker 1: big trust big trust podcast is trust level, yes, and

379
00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:21,240
Speaker 1: it's with Cameron Jordan, who you played all right, you

380
00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:23,280
Speaker 1: guys had to force Buckner on this past week. Who

381
00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:26,760
Speaker 1: you'll see this year when the Texans plays the year? Okay,

382
00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:30,199
Speaker 1: so how does the podcast go? Do you think that

383
00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:33,080
Speaker 1: being a podcast host makes you a better guest on

384
00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:36,320
Speaker 1: other podcasts? I think so, because you have an appreciation

385
00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:38,960
Speaker 1: for a guest who gives you good content. Yeah good.

386
00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:42,240
Speaker 1: You have appreciation for a guest who is real and

387
00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:46,119
Speaker 1: genuine and give you answers and detail and stories and

388
00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:50,000
Speaker 1: good stuff like that. So when you have good guests,

389
00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:53,000
Speaker 1: you want to be a good guest. So in trust levels,

390
00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:55,520
Speaker 1: you can go back to season one or a season two. Now,

391
00:19:55,680 --> 00:19:57,840
Speaker 1: I think we've gotten better from season two to season one,

392
00:19:58,040 --> 00:20:01,359
Speaker 1: but all our guests have been tremendous and we've learned

393
00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:03,840
Speaker 1: a lot. You know, me and Cam. It's different like

394
00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:06,080
Speaker 1: when you're hosting, like you two are hosting, and somebody

395
00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:08,040
Speaker 1: else's like your guests trying to everybody's trying to talk,

396
00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:09,600
Speaker 1: so you got to kind of like to stand back,

397
00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:12,239
Speaker 1: let your co host talk, or stand back let your

398
00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:15,879
Speaker 1: guests tell the story, because even though we might know

399
00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:18,520
Speaker 1: the guests, the audience might not know the guests. So

400
00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:20,360
Speaker 1: we don't want to cut his story off. We want

401
00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:23,040
Speaker 1: to let him tell this story. And I just think

402
00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:26,000
Speaker 1: just being a host on a podcast, you learn to

403
00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:28,000
Speaker 1: be a good guest on others podcast. I think it

404
00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:30,159
Speaker 1: makes you a great conversation lest too, because there's so

405
00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:31,680
Speaker 1: many things that I used to do in a conversation

406
00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:34,360
Speaker 1: that after hosting, I realize, like you're saying, you don't

407
00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:36,120
Speaker 1: want to cut people off before they're done. You want

408
00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:38,320
Speaker 1: to really listen to what they're saying. You said, you've

409
00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:40,200
Speaker 1: had a lot of good guests. Who is the best

410
00:20:40,359 --> 00:20:42,600
Speaker 1: guest you think are among the best guests that you've

411
00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:44,760
Speaker 1: had so far? I love your range of guests. They're

412
00:20:44,760 --> 00:20:47,800
Speaker 1: not just football players. You had, like a fencing champion,

413
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:50,280
Speaker 1: you had, like a goal You've had so many different players,

414
00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:52,640
Speaker 1: so are different types of athletes. So in season one,

415
00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:56,000
Speaker 1: we had majority football players because okay, it was getting started,

416
00:20:56,480 --> 00:20:58,920
Speaker 1: but we had majority of football players. We had Tig Gurley,

417
00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:02,880
Speaker 1: We had Derek Henry, we had Alvin Camaro. We had

418
00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:06,600
Speaker 1: a number of guys like just who were awesome on

419
00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:09,520
Speaker 1: the podcast. We had Kittle, we had Kelsey, so we

420
00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:12,480
Speaker 1: just had we had we had Wagner. We had a

421
00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:16,240
Speaker 1: lot of guys we have. So that was the first season.

422
00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:18,240
Speaker 1: But this last season we kind of wanted to expand,

423
00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:21,280
Speaker 1: expand a little bit going to some other sports because

424
00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:24,679
Speaker 1: we had some connections. So uh, but Drew Brees was awesome,

425
00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:26,679
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, he did that for us. Uh.

426
00:21:26,840 --> 00:21:31,920
Speaker 1: Nick Saban that was a great one. That was recently too. There,

427
00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:33,960
Speaker 1: Nick Saban, that was a great one. And I appreciate

428
00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:37,320
Speaker 1: him coming on because I know he's super busy getting

429
00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:39,640
Speaker 1: those ways ready to win a national championship. But yeah,

430
00:21:39,680 --> 00:21:43,480
Speaker 1: we had a fencer, Miles Chanley Watson. We had um

431
00:21:43,800 --> 00:21:46,520
Speaker 1: Justin Thomas, you know, one of the best golfers in

432
00:21:46,560 --> 00:21:50,520
Speaker 1: the world. We had Kamara Ushman UFC champion of the

433
00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:54,000
Speaker 1: world undisputed still defending this title. My brother. We we

434
00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:56,919
Speaker 1: just it's just been great. Like all the guests, I

435
00:21:56,960 --> 00:22:00,040
Speaker 1: appreciate their time because they're busy. They don't have to

436
00:21:59,920 --> 00:22:03,080
Speaker 1: do it, and they do it, and it's always amazing.

437
00:22:03,119 --> 00:22:05,320
Speaker 1: It's always amazing. It's it's hard to coordinate the times,

438
00:22:05,320 --> 00:22:07,320
Speaker 1: like for everyone to get on, especially with you, because

439
00:22:07,320 --> 00:22:11,240
Speaker 1: you're doing it now. In football, it's so so we prerecorded. Oh,

440
00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:14,320
Speaker 1: it's so hard. It would be almost impossible. During that's

441
00:22:14,560 --> 00:22:16,359
Speaker 1: like he just left practice. How does he play out

442
00:22:16,359 --> 00:22:19,560
Speaker 1: on your podcast? I'm putting out the post at like

443
00:22:19,600 --> 00:22:24,879
Speaker 1: ten am about to go. We kind of work, you know,

444
00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:28,719
Speaker 1: March April, well, like May June kind of and then

445
00:22:28,760 --> 00:22:31,080
Speaker 1: we started putting them out in July, so we kind

446
00:22:31,119 --> 00:22:33,840
Speaker 1: of had them recorded through like a two month window

447
00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:37,240
Speaker 1: and we get all the editing done, the publicizing done,

448
00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:39,879
Speaker 1: and uh, we drop them every week, you know what

449
00:22:39,920 --> 00:22:42,640
Speaker 1: I mean. So they're prerecorded, they're already recorded, but they're

450
00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:47,240
Speaker 1: gonna drop every Wednesday. Okay, the audio drops every Wednesday,

451
00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:49,320
Speaker 1: and then the YouTube channel where you can see like

452
00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:52,120
Speaker 1: our faces and expressions, that drops on YouTube every Thursday.

453
00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:54,320
Speaker 1: So I think that's actually one of the best parts

454
00:22:54,359 --> 00:22:57,240
Speaker 1: of watching the podcast. Sometimes it's great to see the guests,

455
00:22:57,240 --> 00:23:00,679
Speaker 1: but then watching yours and Cam Jordan's reaction to the

456
00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:03,800
Speaker 1: answer is really funny as well. Who's a guest that

457
00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:05,760
Speaker 1: you haven't had on that you really are like itching

458
00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:09,760
Speaker 1: to get on the podcast? Man Um, I mean you've

459
00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:12,560
Speaker 1: already dropped some really big names there. Yeah, we kind

460
00:23:12,560 --> 00:23:15,080
Speaker 1: of want to. The Olympics was on and I had

461
00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:17,480
Speaker 1: a few Olympics, a few Olympians that I wanted to

462

463

Speaker 1: have her own. We want to have her own. We

465
00:23:24,480 --> 00:23:28,000
Speaker 1: want to have we just want to go crazy with it.

466
00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:30,119
Speaker 1: We want to be legendary. We want to probably get

467
00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:33,360
Speaker 1: Simon Yes, I mean she was out of practice, right right, Yeah,

468
00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:36,280
Speaker 1: she was out of practice, But we're just versatile. We

469
00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:40,959
Speaker 1: just want legendary vibes because it's all about the trust levels,

470
00:23:41,080 --> 00:23:43,840
Speaker 1: the biggest other trust, other levels. If you listen to

471
00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:46,280
Speaker 1: the podcast, you know you'll hear this several times. But

472
00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:48,720
Speaker 1: were all about the legacy. We're all about the legendary.

473
00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:51,480
Speaker 1: So we just try to find people who align with

474
00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:55,680
Speaker 1: our values and our principles and being legendary and leaving

475
00:23:55,720 --> 00:23:57,720
Speaker 1: the legacy, and we just tried to get them on

476
00:23:57,760 --> 00:23:59,679
Speaker 1: the pot and just shoot the stuff and you know,

477
00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:02,480
Speaker 1: give you'all some good content to listen. It is great content.

478
00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:05,960
Speaker 1: And you know what you also this offseason decided to

479
00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:10,040
Speaker 1: join DC United's ownership team because you've got so much

480
00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:13,160
Speaker 1: free time. But yeah, I see your tweets. You're you're

481
00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:15,440
Speaker 1: you're cheering on your squad all the time. How did

482
00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:18,679
Speaker 1: you decide that you're a minority share owner? Right? Is that?

483
00:24:18,760 --> 00:24:21,199
Speaker 1: Is that the trouper termology? So how did you decide

484
00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:23,679
Speaker 1: to pick that team? And why did you want to

485
00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:25,320
Speaker 1: get involved in soccer? And why did you want to

486
00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:30,199
Speaker 1: do it? Now? Well, they chose me, okay, So it

487
00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:34,679
Speaker 1: was a mutual I met Jason and twenty nineteen, when

488
00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:36,680
Speaker 1: I was in Baltimore, he came to one of my

489
00:24:37,400 --> 00:24:40,800
Speaker 1: Christmas shopping giveaways. We had some mutual friends that wanted

490
00:24:40,880 --> 00:24:43,359
Speaker 1: us to meet and UM, he came to my Christmas

491
00:24:43,359 --> 00:24:47,679
Speaker 1: shopping giveaway and UM watched that and then afterwards we

492
00:24:47,800 --> 00:24:49,800
Speaker 1: had dinner and he had a son with him. I

493
00:24:49,840 --> 00:24:52,080
Speaker 1: had my uncle with me. Um, he had his friend

494
00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:54,639
Speaker 1: who knows my uncle who wanted us to meet. We

495
00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:58,639
Speaker 1: just had a great dinner, just sitting there talking about life,

496
00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:02,879
Speaker 1: you know, and foot ball and some of his business adventures,

497
00:25:03,359 --> 00:25:08,480
Speaker 1: and essentially we just kept a relationship, you know, throughout

498
00:25:08,520 --> 00:25:10,879
Speaker 1: that year, throughout the next year, and then earlier this

499
00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:14,399
Speaker 1: year he came, Um, just like Mark, I have an

500
00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:16,080
Speaker 1: opportunity for you to check, you know what I mean.

501
00:25:16,160 --> 00:25:19,200
Speaker 1: And UM, I let my best friend Chris Burtley, who

502
00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:21,280
Speaker 1: I grew up with, he's a he's an attorney. I

503
00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:23,800
Speaker 1: let him look at it for me, and they were

504
00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:27,640
Speaker 1: just going back and forth. They were transparent about everything,

505
00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:31,560
Speaker 1: all the details. Um we ironed all the things out.

506
00:25:31,560 --> 00:25:34,560
Speaker 1: Everything we asked for, they gave it to us. And UM,

507
00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:37,480
Speaker 1: I just think soccer is huge. You know, Soccer is

508
00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:40,560
Speaker 1: the world sport. You go anywhere else football, they think soccer,

509
00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:42,440
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. So I just think it's

510
00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:45,240
Speaker 1: so much room for growth in America. Uh with with

511
00:25:45,240 --> 00:25:47,040
Speaker 1: with soccer. We got the World Cup coming here in

512
00:25:47,040 --> 00:25:50,120
Speaker 1: twenty twenty six. The MLS is growing rapidly. I mean

513
00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:52,960
Speaker 1: you can see it on ESPN. You see stars at

514
00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:55,760
Speaker 1: all MLS games. So the opportunity to become an owner,

515
00:25:56,119 --> 00:25:59,719
Speaker 1: especially doing it while I'm still a player and not

516
00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:02,320
Speaker 1: just like towards the end of my career, like I

517
00:26:02,359 --> 00:26:04,359
Speaker 1: still want to play many more years and I feel

518
00:26:04,359 --> 00:26:05,800
Speaker 1: like I still have my best football ahead of me.

519
00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:08,480
Speaker 1: But to be able to be in business being ownership

520
00:26:08,560 --> 00:26:12,040
Speaker 1: while I'm still a player, I think was huge and

521
00:26:12,080 --> 00:26:15,040
Speaker 1: I think that was a tremendous opportunity. So he basically

522
00:26:15,119 --> 00:26:17,520
Speaker 1: presented this opportunity to me. I showed it to my

523
00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:20,159
Speaker 1: best friend who was an attorney who we grew up together.

524
00:26:20,359 --> 00:26:23,480
Speaker 1: We played football together, rand track together. He's an attorney now.

525
00:26:23,680 --> 00:26:26,120
Speaker 1: He hashed it out with his with their lawyers. They

526
00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:29,879
Speaker 1: were transparent. Everything was just mutual. Everything was smooth, and

527
00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:35,480
Speaker 1: it got to proof through the MLS and now I'm

528
00:26:35,520 --> 00:26:40,800
Speaker 1: a part owner, minority owner of the most prestigious MLS club.

529
00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:43,320
Speaker 1: You know, they have four championships. We're trying to bring more.

530
00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:46,800
Speaker 1: And you know, it's just a great group. Jason Steve,

531
00:26:47,200 --> 00:26:49,680
Speaker 1: those guys who are the main owners, they've had a

532
00:26:49,720 --> 00:26:53,120
Speaker 1: success and they were on a Premier league team. They

533
00:26:53,240 --> 00:26:55,240
Speaker 1: have honed the NBA team, you know what I mean.

534
00:26:55,280 --> 00:26:57,600
Speaker 1: So they just have a tremendous track record of having

535
00:26:57,640 --> 00:27:00,199
Speaker 1: success in business and being sports owners. So be able

536
00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:01,840
Speaker 1: to have those connections, to be be able to learn from them,

537
00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:05,240
Speaker 1: grow with them and be an owner and you know,

538
00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:08,320
Speaker 1: tap into that industry. It's just a tremendous blessing and

539
00:27:08,359 --> 00:27:11,639
Speaker 1: I'm thankful and I amost united, Mamas United. There's a

540
00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:14,160
Speaker 1: lot of professional athletes that are sort of venturing into

541
00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:17,760
Speaker 1: like minority ownership in different pro sports teams. Now in

542
00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:20,919
Speaker 1: this role with DC United, what is your responsibility do

543
00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:23,320
Speaker 1: you do? Are you interacting with the players? Are you

544
00:27:23,359 --> 00:27:25,680
Speaker 1: in the locker room? I mean you're like minority owner,

545
00:27:25,760 --> 00:27:27,480
Speaker 1: but you're still very much a part of the team.

546
00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:29,920
Speaker 1: Is that correct? And how do you do that with football?

547
00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:32,600
Speaker 1: Just ma'am. So anything they need, I'm here, Like I

548
00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:36,560
Speaker 1: have coaches information, I'm cool with some of the players. Jason,

549
00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:39,480
Speaker 1: the owner, we have somebody vacate like a spot in

550
00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:42,320
Speaker 1: the physical therapy. He asked me, did I know anybody

551
00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:44,920
Speaker 1: that I have worked with? You know? I was able

552
00:27:44,960 --> 00:27:47,000
Speaker 1: to refer a couple of people, you know what I mean.

553
00:27:47,119 --> 00:27:52,639
Speaker 1: So I'm still active involved with, you know, the business

554
00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:55,439
Speaker 1: side of the MLS. Obviously they know I'm focused on

555
00:27:55,600 --> 00:27:59,160
Speaker 1: my season, but anything they need for me, I'm supporting them.

556
00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:02,240
Speaker 1: They got a game sad to day night, so writing meetings,

557
00:28:02,280 --> 00:28:04,399
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be kind of like peeking at my phone,

558
00:28:04,440 --> 00:28:06,120
Speaker 1: making sure we're doing that, you know what I mean.

559
00:28:06,160 --> 00:28:08,600
Speaker 1: But anything they need to any capacity I sent. I

560
00:28:08,600 --> 00:28:10,640
Speaker 1: sent the video and a couraging video to the team

561
00:28:10,680 --> 00:28:14,760
Speaker 1: about having a sports therapist, you know, mental health therapist

562
00:28:14,920 --> 00:28:17,480
Speaker 1: and sports they asked me to do that. I'm here.

563
00:28:17,560 --> 00:28:19,760
Speaker 1: Just a lot of the guys are young. I'm here

564
00:28:19,800 --> 00:28:22,400
Speaker 1: to help them, support them anyway, and anything they need

565
00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:24,640
Speaker 1: for me any capacity, I'm here to help. And I'm

566
00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:26,560
Speaker 1: just trying to learn. I'm trying to grow. Like when

567
00:28:26,560 --> 00:28:28,920
Speaker 1: they have international break, I'm like, so, you know, it's

568
00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:31,879
Speaker 1: an international break, like two weeks they're not playing, Like,

569
00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:33,560
Speaker 1: where are some things that we're focused on? Like what

570
00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:35,560
Speaker 1: are some things that we're trying to get better at?

571
00:28:35,600 --> 00:28:37,800
Speaker 1: And like Jason will like, you know, break some things

572
00:28:37,840 --> 00:28:40,160
Speaker 1: down to me. Okay, the transfer window is this we

573
00:28:40,280 --> 00:28:41,800
Speaker 1: might be trying to get a player from here, or

574
00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:43,719
Speaker 1: we might be trying to sell a player there. Like

575
00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:45,560
Speaker 1: it's just crazy just to be able to learn the

576
00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:48,360
Speaker 1: business side of it, especially being a player, you know,

577
00:28:48,440 --> 00:28:53,080
Speaker 1: for ye I'm seeing an owner's view of a sports

578
00:28:53,080 --> 00:28:55,040
Speaker 1: team as well. So just to be able to grow

579
00:28:55,080 --> 00:28:58,120
Speaker 1: in that capacity is something I'm super thankful for the

580
00:28:58,160 --> 00:29:01,520
Speaker 1: opportunity and I'm grateful for the oportunity, and I'm just

581
00:29:01,560 --> 00:29:04,440
Speaker 1: here to help the team any capacity be successful and

582
00:29:04,560 --> 00:29:07,520
Speaker 1: be one of the best teams in the MLS. So

583
00:29:07,760 --> 00:29:09,600
Speaker 1: anything I need for me, I'm here, all right. I

584
00:29:09,680 --> 00:29:11,640
Speaker 1: read somewhere that when you were a kid, you used

585
00:29:11,640 --> 00:29:13,480
Speaker 1: to play soccer, so this is how you you your

586
00:29:13,520 --> 00:29:17,760
Speaker 1: passion for soccer crew, and that playing soccer is has

587
00:29:17,800 --> 00:29:20,520
Speaker 1: actually helped you as a running back. Is that true?

588
00:29:20,640 --> 00:29:23,680
Speaker 1: I feel like I played multiple sports. I played everything

589
00:29:23,720 --> 00:29:28,560
Speaker 1: growing up, from soccer to baseball, to basketball, to running

590
00:29:28,600 --> 00:29:31,760
Speaker 1: track to golf, you know what I mean. I did everything.

591
00:29:31,920 --> 00:29:34,360
Speaker 1: Like I feel like all those sports you have to

592
00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:38,640
Speaker 1: have different type of movements, different type of you know,

593
00:29:38,840 --> 00:29:41,760
Speaker 1: reactions to the way you move in the sport, you

594
00:29:41,760 --> 00:29:43,480
Speaker 1: know what I mean. Also the footwork, I would think

595
00:29:43,520 --> 00:29:46,040
Speaker 1: you have to have such good footwork. Yeah, especially soccer,

596
00:29:46,080 --> 00:29:48,080
Speaker 1: I mean you're carrying. If you watch those guys play,

597
00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:50,080
Speaker 1: I mean it's like the balls velcrow to their foot

598
00:29:50,160 --> 00:29:53,760
Speaker 1: like right, they just like their footwork is crazy. But

599
00:29:54,040 --> 00:29:56,440
Speaker 1: I think definitely soccer, you know, just the running stamina

600
00:29:56,480 --> 00:29:58,840
Speaker 1: to be able to change directions. The footwork, I think

601
00:29:58,840 --> 00:30:01,080
Speaker 1: that definitely kind of helped me. I played young, So

602
00:30:01,120 --> 00:30:04,120
Speaker 1: I can't say it helped me super much, but I

603
00:30:04,160 --> 00:30:08,120
Speaker 1: think growing as a young kid, just developing into an athlete,

604
00:30:08,560 --> 00:30:11,120
Speaker 1: I think soccer definitely. So why didn't you stick with soccer?

605
00:30:11,120 --> 00:30:13,000
Speaker 1: Why did you go football? My mom told me. I

606
00:30:13,120 --> 00:30:15,040
Speaker 1: came off the field after I scored like three goals

607
00:30:15,080 --> 00:30:16,600
Speaker 1: in the game, and I told I didn't want to

608
00:30:16,600 --> 00:30:18,480
Speaker 1: play no more because the sun was beating on my head.

609
00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:21,680
Speaker 1: So that's how you So it was hot and the

610
00:30:21,720 --> 00:30:23,200
Speaker 1: sun beating on my head, and my mom said I

611
00:30:23,240 --> 00:30:25,280
Speaker 1: had to play no more. So I stopped playing soccer.

612
00:30:25,320 --> 00:30:26,960
Speaker 1: But I'm like, I played football, the something beating on

613
00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:30,880
Speaker 1: my head, baseball, some beating on my head, like we

614
00:30:30,920 --> 00:30:34,080
Speaker 1: played basketball outside. Sometimes someone beating on my head. Ran track,

615
00:30:34,160 --> 00:30:36,680
Speaker 1: someone was beating on my head, like I don't know,

616
00:30:36,800 --> 00:30:39,520
Speaker 1: but whatever it was, I was hot. It must have

617
00:30:39,520 --> 00:30:42,960
Speaker 1: been a bad day. The sun was just maybe it

618
00:30:43,040 --> 00:30:45,280
Speaker 1: might have been one of the hottest days. But I

619
00:30:45,320 --> 00:30:47,600
Speaker 1: stopped playing young. I just remember kicking the ball far

620
00:30:47,880 --> 00:30:50,320
Speaker 1: running fashion and all the kids boom booted into the

621
00:30:50,320 --> 00:30:53,480
Speaker 1: back of the net, scoring like three goals. Coach telling me,

622
00:30:53,520 --> 00:30:55,440
Speaker 1: I need to go on defense because I'm scoring too

623
00:30:55,480 --> 00:30:58,160
Speaker 1: many goals. You know kids kids sports, just like they

624
00:30:58,160 --> 00:31:00,000
Speaker 1: try to keep the scoring kind of close, right right.

625
00:31:00,200 --> 00:31:02,640
Speaker 1: So then I'm on defense and the ball comes to me,

626
00:31:02,680 --> 00:31:05,160
Speaker 1: I run down field. Again, bon't kicking the ball running

627
00:31:05,200 --> 00:31:07,480
Speaker 1: fashion everybody, But bon't kicking the ball runn fashion. Everybody

628
00:31:07,480 --> 00:31:09,000
Speaker 1: won't put it back in the net, you know what

629
00:31:09,040 --> 00:31:14,080
Speaker 1: I mean. So I was a goal scorer extraordinary, you

630
00:31:14,120 --> 00:31:16,080
Speaker 1: know what I mean, But that career was cut short.

631
00:31:16,200 --> 00:31:18,760
Speaker 1: So well, I was gonna say, maybe you might want

632
00:31:18,760 --> 00:31:20,400
Speaker 1: to play soccer some day. But it sounds like the

633
00:31:20,440 --> 00:31:23,480
Speaker 1: business sides really keeping your busy. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah,

634
00:31:23,520 --> 00:31:25,440
Speaker 1: those dudes are special. I don't know if I get

635
00:31:25,440 --> 00:31:28,960
Speaker 1: out there, yeah yeah, like they be like if you

636
00:31:29,560 --> 00:31:32,640
Speaker 1: I went to the World Cup like in Brazil, and

637
00:31:32,920 --> 00:31:35,120
Speaker 1: I've been to a couple of English Premier League games

638
00:31:35,120 --> 00:31:39,560
Speaker 1: like an Arsenal. Soccer is just amazing, you know, football

639
00:31:39,640 --> 00:31:43,040
Speaker 1: international is amazing. You think you go to an NFL

640
00:31:43,120 --> 00:31:45,360
Speaker 1: game and you think the crowd is crazy, Like if

641
00:31:45,360 --> 00:31:47,400
Speaker 1: you've been to a World Cup or like an Arsenal game,

642
00:31:47,480 --> 00:31:49,800
Speaker 1: any of those English Premier League games, those people are insane.

643
00:31:49,840 --> 00:31:52,920
Speaker 1: They go crazy, the chance everything, it's just wild. It's

644
00:31:52,920 --> 00:31:55,600
Speaker 1: a special experience and just the fact that I have

645
00:31:56,440 --> 00:31:59,280
Speaker 1: a little involvement in it. Proud of that. That's pretty cool.

646
00:31:59,280 --> 00:32:01,240
Speaker 1: All right, before I let you go, we're playing the

647
00:32:01,320 --> 00:32:04,240
Speaker 1: Jacksonville Jaguars Urban Buyers the head code. So when you

648
00:32:04,240 --> 00:32:07,480
Speaker 1: were at Alabama you faced off with him? Yeah, all right,

649
00:32:07,560 --> 00:32:09,360
Speaker 1: so you you faced off against urban Meyer. What do

650
00:32:09,440 --> 00:32:11,640
Speaker 1: you remember about him and did you ever meet him

651
00:32:11,720 --> 00:32:14,600
Speaker 1: in real life? I think I might have met him briefly,

652
00:32:14,920 --> 00:32:17,280
Speaker 1: nothing maybe like a handshake or like nice to meet you,

653
00:32:17,320 --> 00:32:20,160
Speaker 1: but nothing crazy. But I just always remember, you know,

654
00:32:20,240 --> 00:32:23,120
Speaker 1: he had those Florida teams, you know, and they were

655
00:32:23,160 --> 00:32:25,640
Speaker 1: really good. So one year we were beating them all

656
00:32:25,680 --> 00:32:27,960
Speaker 1: the way through into the fourth quarter and Tebow did

657
00:32:27,960 --> 00:32:30,000
Speaker 1: some crazy stuff where he's yelling at the kickoff team

658
00:32:30,040 --> 00:32:33,040
Speaker 1: and ended up winning the game by like a field

659
00:32:33,040 --> 00:32:34,960
Speaker 1: goal or something. Then we came back the next year,

660
00:32:35,760 --> 00:32:39,200
Speaker 1: same thing. One verse two SEC Championship, We robbed them,

661
00:32:39,720 --> 00:32:41,960
Speaker 1: robbed them, went to the we beat the mess out

662
00:32:41,960 --> 00:32:44,720
Speaker 1: of him, We beat the mess out of him, and

663
00:32:44,760 --> 00:32:46,880
Speaker 1: then we went to the NAT Championship and one. But

664
00:32:46,960 --> 00:32:49,560
Speaker 1: I just remember him having some good teams, great players,

665
00:32:49,960 --> 00:32:51,960
Speaker 1: and you know, his teams always kind of had high

666
00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:54,520
Speaker 1: energy in college and they had good players. So but

667
00:32:55,080 --> 00:32:56,920
Speaker 1: are you how excited are you seem in the NFL

670
00:33:01,440 --> 00:33:10,680
Speaker 1: first debut isn't too good. But yeah, but you know,

671
00:33:10,720 --> 00:33:13,160
Speaker 1: I'm always you know, I'm not a hater. I want

672
00:33:13,200 --> 00:33:14,680
Speaker 1: to see people do well. I want to see people

673

00:34:56,040 --> 00:34:59,239
Speaker 1: roll Keys to the Game. Let's start with the Texans

704
00:34:59,400 --> 00:35:05,520
Speaker 1: defense against the Jaguars offense. Last year, they were twenty

705
00:35:05,680 --> 00:35:09,000
Speaker 1: ninth in the NFL ninety five yards per game. Even

706
00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:13,680
Speaker 1: though James Robinson was tremendous as an undrafted rookie. He

707
00:35:13,920 --> 00:35:17,279
Speaker 1: was incredible last year, but the Jags only twenty nine

708
00:35:17,480 --> 00:35:20,239
Speaker 1: in the NFL. Both games last year, the Texans held

709
00:35:21,280 --> 00:35:23,480
Speaker 1: held Robinson under hundred yards. I think one game he

710
00:35:23,480 --> 00:35:25,160
Speaker 1: had ninety nine, but they had him one hundred yards

711
00:35:25,160 --> 00:35:26,440
Speaker 1: in each game and that was key to getting two

712
00:35:26,480 --> 00:35:28,719
Speaker 1: wins against the Jags last year and passing last year,

713
00:35:28,760 --> 00:35:31,080
Speaker 1: they threw for over two hundred thirty one yards per game,

714
00:35:31,200 --> 00:35:33,439
Speaker 1: was twenty first in the league. They were twenty eighth

715
00:35:33,520 --> 00:35:36,480
Speaker 1: in total offense three hundred and twenty six. They lost

716
00:35:36,880 --> 00:35:42,120
Speaker 1: twenty five turnovers. Enter Trevor Lawrence, number one overall pick

717
00:35:42,200 --> 00:35:45,520
Speaker 1: after one to fifteenth season. He obviously will guide this

718
00:35:45,800 --> 00:35:48,919
Speaker 1: offense with a couple of new pieces, including Marvin Jones

719
00:35:48,960 --> 00:35:52,960
Speaker 1: at wide receiver Chris Manhertz at tight end. The majority

720
00:35:53,000 --> 00:35:56,359
Speaker 1: of the pieces are pretty much the same. There are

721
00:35:56,360 --> 00:35:59,600
Speaker 1: a few different pieces, and we'll see how that goes.

722
00:35:59,680 --> 00:36:03,920
Speaker 1: So what are the keys to stopping the Jacksonville Jaguar's offense?

723
00:36:04,040 --> 00:36:08,320
Speaker 1: Number One, Now you see it, now you don't. He

724
00:36:08,400 --> 00:36:10,600
Speaker 1: also that movie I think I can't remember who was

725
00:36:10,600 --> 00:36:12,760
Speaker 1: in it. I think it was I was a Michael

726
00:36:12,800 --> 00:36:16,759
Speaker 1: Sarah was in that movie. Either way, if you think

727
00:36:16,800 --> 00:36:19,879
Speaker 1: about magic, you see something and then poof, it's gone.

728
00:36:20,680 --> 00:36:22,040
Speaker 1: That was kind of the way and I used the

729
00:36:22,120 --> 00:36:25,840
Speaker 1: example in my article of the Georgia defense what the

730
00:36:25,880 --> 00:36:28,440
Speaker 1: Georgia defense did to Clemson last week, and it just

731
00:36:28,480 --> 00:36:30,400
Speaker 1: so happened to be Clemson not having anything new with

732
00:36:30,480 --> 00:36:32,800
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence being from Clemson. But it was just the

733
00:36:32,880 --> 00:36:37,440
Speaker 1: way that Georgia went about showing DJ Young delay a

734
00:36:37,560 --> 00:36:40,399
Speaker 1: couple of looks early, but then giving him taking those

735
00:36:40,440 --> 00:36:42,640
Speaker 1: away and then giving him something completely different the rest

736
00:36:42,680 --> 00:36:44,680
Speaker 1: of the game. They dropped aided the coverage in the

737
00:36:44,719 --> 00:36:47,400
Speaker 1: first third down. The next third down they brought a

738
00:36:47,560 --> 00:36:51,560
Speaker 1: bat I'm sorry linebackers on crossdar blitzes. Then it was

739
00:36:51,640 --> 00:36:53,440
Speaker 1: like here, we're gonna show you this and then we're

740
00:36:53,440 --> 00:36:56,120
Speaker 1: gonna change it to this. You gotta keep changing the picture.

741
00:36:56,160 --> 00:36:59,120
Speaker 1: I called it Houston traffic in that if you think

742
00:36:59,120 --> 00:37:02,040
Speaker 1: about Houston traffic, I think it's frustrating because you think

743
00:37:02,080 --> 00:37:03,719
Speaker 1: he got something over the left lane and you shut

744
00:37:03,760 --> 00:37:05,160
Speaker 1: it down, you slow it down, and oh then things

745
00:37:05,200 --> 00:37:06,879
Speaker 1: open up the speed and then you slow it back down.

746
00:37:07,120 --> 00:37:08,840
Speaker 1: It's kind of like Houston traffics the way you got

747
00:37:08,920 --> 00:37:10,840
Speaker 1: to approach this kind of in and out and just

748
00:37:10,960 --> 00:37:15,200
Speaker 1: keep him off track all game long. Number two. If

749
00:37:15,239 --> 00:37:18,960
Speaker 1: there's anything that stood out last year in the run defense,

750
00:37:19,120 --> 00:37:22,440
Speaker 1: it was that the gap integrity was awful. Guys that

751
00:37:22,520 --> 00:37:26,359
Speaker 1: played on his defense, all of them, all of them

752
00:37:27,280 --> 00:37:30,960
Speaker 1: were horrible with their gap integrity. They took chances and

753
00:37:31,040 --> 00:37:33,520
Speaker 1: took risks and had got him in trouble and they

754
00:37:33,560 --> 00:37:35,799
Speaker 1: were one of the worst run defenses. It was worst

755
00:37:35,840 --> 00:37:38,400
Speaker 1: run defense and Texas I've ever had, and it was

756
00:37:38,520 --> 00:37:41,560
Speaker 1: awful to watch. That can't be the case in the preseason.

757
00:37:41,600 --> 00:37:44,680
Speaker 1: It was much much better. Gap integrity has got to

758
00:37:44,880 --> 00:37:48,000
Speaker 1: be sound. Number three quick change. The one thing about

759
00:37:48,000 --> 00:37:50,080
Speaker 1: the first game of the year is there are gonna

760
00:37:50,080 --> 00:37:52,320
Speaker 1: be some unscouted looks. They're gonna be some things, but

761
00:37:52,440 --> 00:37:54,560
Speaker 1: the defense is going to see from Jacksonville, like Yo,

762
00:37:54,640 --> 00:37:56,520
Speaker 1: we didn't think we're gonna see that. You can get

763
00:37:56,560 --> 00:37:59,000
Speaker 1: a pretty good read on Broun Shottenheimer and Daryl Bebel,

764
00:37:59,320 --> 00:38:03,080
Speaker 1: his passing game coordinator and overall offensive coordinator, respectively. What

765
00:38:03,320 --> 00:38:05,520
Speaker 1: urban meyers impact you don't know, and I guarantee you

766
00:38:05,600 --> 00:38:08,960
Speaker 1: during preseason we didn't see everything. Jet sweeps, push passes,

767
00:38:09,280 --> 00:38:11,359
Speaker 1: different ways to use. And I'll get to keep number

768
00:38:11,400 --> 00:38:13,880
Speaker 1: five in a little bit. Lasca Chanalt there're gonna be

769
00:38:13,920 --> 00:38:16,760
Speaker 1: some months Scotted looks. You gotta adapt, and you gotta

770
00:38:16,800 --> 00:38:20,680
Speaker 1: adapt quickly. A team that adapts quickest is gonna end

771
00:38:20,760 --> 00:38:22,960
Speaker 1: up winning this football game. Number four is pretty simple.

772
00:38:23,040 --> 00:38:28,160
Speaker 1: Keep DJ Chark in front. You cannot allow Dj Chark

773
00:38:28,239 --> 00:38:30,319
Speaker 1: to get behind the defense as you did the last

774
00:38:30,360 --> 00:38:32,480
Speaker 1: time we played him, seventy seven yard touchdown to start

775
00:38:32,560 --> 00:38:35,960
Speaker 1: the game. You're down seven nothing. Thankfully Brandon Cooks had

776
00:38:36,000 --> 00:38:38,440
Speaker 1: that fifty something yard screen that he took to the

777
00:38:38,480 --> 00:38:41,239
Speaker 1: house and eating it up. But you can't let Chark

778
00:38:41,280 --> 00:38:44,719
Speaker 1: get behind. And now there's no Bradley Roby, so there's

779
00:38:44,719 --> 00:38:47,040
Speaker 1: really not a guy to match up with charc one

780
00:38:47,080 --> 00:38:48,560
Speaker 1: on one, so there's gonna have to be helped. But

781
00:38:48,640 --> 00:38:51,919
Speaker 1: you gotta keep him in front. And number five goes

782
00:38:51,960 --> 00:38:55,400
Speaker 1: back to my point about what this offense for Jacksonville

783
00:38:55,560 --> 00:39:01,040
Speaker 1: might do using La viscous Chenault. He's the key. Herban

784
00:39:01,120 --> 00:39:03,640
Speaker 1: Myers had guys in the past. He's had Curtis Samuel,

785
00:39:03,960 --> 00:39:06,960
Speaker 1: he had Percy Harvin. He found unique ways to get

786
00:39:07,000 --> 00:39:08,319
Speaker 1: them the ball. He put them in the back room.

787
00:39:08,320 --> 00:39:09,919
Speaker 1: They put him in the slot and put him out wide.

788
00:39:09,960 --> 00:39:12,000
Speaker 1: He motioned them, he shifted him. He did a lot

789
00:39:12,040 --> 00:39:14,360
Speaker 1: of different things with them, and I would imagine that

790
00:39:15,160 --> 00:39:18,160
Speaker 1: is going to be the key. How do you attack

791
00:39:18,280 --> 00:39:21,040
Speaker 1: number ten. You gotta know where he is, and you

792
00:39:21,120 --> 00:39:24,600
Speaker 1: gotta know where he is and what he can do

793
00:39:24,800 --> 00:39:28,040
Speaker 1: from that particular position. There are many many ways they

794
00:39:28,040 --> 00:39:29,680
Speaker 1: can get him the football, and the Texans ha got

795
00:39:29,800 --> 00:39:34,120
Speaker 1: to slow that impact down knowing where he is and

796
00:39:34,880 --> 00:39:36,880
Speaker 1: being able to defend all the things he can do

797
00:39:37,200 --> 00:39:39,319
Speaker 1: from those particular spots. All right, let's flip it over

798
00:39:39,360 --> 00:39:42,360
Speaker 1: to the Jaguars defense. There have been some changes on

799
00:39:42,520 --> 00:39:46,200
Speaker 1: this side of the ball. Malcolm Brown steps in inside

800
00:39:46,360 --> 00:39:48,879
Speaker 1: Ray Robertson Harris is gonna end up being a KYU

801
00:39:48,960 --> 00:39:51,279
Speaker 1: here that in a second, Damian Wilson steps in next

802
00:39:51,320 --> 00:39:54,000
Speaker 1: to Miles Jack for Joe Schobert. Shaquille Griffin was a

803
00:39:54,080 --> 00:39:55,960
Speaker 1: big free agent signing from them, coming back home in

804
00:39:56,000 --> 00:39:59,200
Speaker 1: the state of Florida. Andre Cisco could start a safety

805
00:39:59,640 --> 00:40:02,040
Speaker 1: as a rookie, could be him, could be Andrew Wingard

806
00:40:02,080 --> 00:40:04,480
Speaker 1: him forty two. Either one of those guys could get

807
00:40:04,520 --> 00:40:07,400
Speaker 1: picked on. And then you got ray Shon Jenkins at safety,

808
00:40:08,280 --> 00:40:11,760
Speaker 1: who I think is a very interesting piece to this defense.

809
00:40:11,840 --> 00:40:15,200
Speaker 1: So we're gonna see this defense a little bit different,

810
00:40:15,920 --> 00:40:18,400
Speaker 1: but it's a little bit deeper than it's been and

811
00:40:19,640 --> 00:40:21,520
Speaker 1: it brings me to key number one. It's coached by

812
00:40:21,520 --> 00:40:24,440
Speaker 1: a guy by name of Joe Cullen. He was the

813
00:40:24,640 --> 00:40:28,480
Speaker 1: former Baltimore Ravens defensive line coach. Why does that matter?

814
00:40:28,800 --> 00:40:31,239
Speaker 1: The blitz is coming. When you haven't been a DC,

815
00:40:31,440 --> 00:40:34,320
Speaker 1: you rely on the place you've been the longest, and

816
00:40:34,440 --> 00:40:38,439
Speaker 1: that was in Baltimore. Wink Martineau brings blitz all game long.

817
00:40:38,920 --> 00:40:41,000
Speaker 1: We're gonna see the blitz. Be ready for it, adapt

818
00:40:41,080 --> 00:40:43,520
Speaker 1: to it. Adjust to Number two is very simple. Set

819
00:40:43,600 --> 00:40:47,560
Speaker 1: the tone violence, early, violence, middle violence, late. I know

820
00:40:47,640 --> 00:40:50,320
Speaker 1: that south violence. Oh no, it's a violent game and

821
00:40:50,400 --> 00:40:53,279
Speaker 1: the team that plays it more violently typically wins it.

822
00:40:53,400 --> 00:40:56,200
Speaker 1: That's what's got to be this Texans offense. Number three.

823
00:40:56,520 --> 00:40:58,480
Speaker 1: We all know the new guy on the offensive side

824
00:40:58,880 --> 00:41:00,920
Speaker 1: is Trevor Lawrence and the d fence aside this guy

825
00:41:01,000 --> 00:41:03,839
Speaker 1: named Ray Robertson Harris, who could be a menace because

826
00:41:03,840 --> 00:41:06,200
Speaker 1: he can slide up and down the line. He gives

827
00:41:06,239 --> 00:41:08,600
Speaker 1: you opportunity to get in and out of different fronts,

828
00:41:08,640 --> 00:41:12,239
Speaker 1: whether it's a three man front or five man front.

829
00:41:12,360 --> 00:41:14,120
Speaker 1: Kind of a three four look or for four man

830
00:41:14,239 --> 00:41:17,040
Speaker 1: front and your nickel whatever. Ray Robertson Harris ends up

831
00:41:17,080 --> 00:41:20,200
Speaker 1: being a big key. Knowing where he is and then

832
00:41:20,400 --> 00:41:22,959
Speaker 1: handling him up front, those are two different things, because

833
00:41:23,000 --> 00:41:25,480
Speaker 1: he's a monster up front. He really started coming into

834
00:41:25,480 --> 00:41:27,680
Speaker 1: his own with the Bears, and that got him some

835
00:41:27,760 --> 00:41:30,360
Speaker 1: good free agent money to go to Jacksonville. Unfortunately, I

836
00:41:30,440 --> 00:41:32,120
Speaker 1: think he can be a problem. You got to account

837
00:41:32,120 --> 00:41:33,759
Speaker 1: for him, maybe the man and a half, two men

838
00:41:33,840 --> 00:41:36,000
Speaker 1: to slow him down. Number four is the sound in

839
00:41:36,040 --> 00:41:38,480
Speaker 1: fear of Number two. Ray Shawn Jenkins is the guy

840
00:41:38,560 --> 00:41:40,600
Speaker 1: that plays up near the box. He's an old school

841
00:41:41,160 --> 00:41:43,839
Speaker 1: box safety, but he's gonna get involved in the run game.

842
00:41:44,080 --> 00:41:46,080
Speaker 1: He can't have a receiver accounting for him all the time.

843
00:41:46,080 --> 00:41:48,840
Speaker 1: You gotta dreat him like a little linebacker at times.

844
00:41:48,880 --> 00:41:51,560
Speaker 1: So Number two keep an eye on him, and Lassen's

845
00:41:51,560 --> 00:41:55,240
Speaker 1: certainly not least. I call it the light heavyweights because

846
00:41:55,360 --> 00:41:57,919
Speaker 1: out on the edge, the Jaguars have got two guys

847
00:41:57,960 --> 00:42:00,640
Speaker 1: they're not light, but they're quick in twitch here and

848
00:42:00,680 --> 00:42:03,000
Speaker 1: that's Josh Allen and kalb On Chason. They've also got

849
00:42:03,080 --> 00:42:05,520
Speaker 1: two heavier guys that can set the edge a little

850
00:42:05,560 --> 00:42:07,040
Speaker 1: bit more in the run game, but they can also

851
00:42:07,160 --> 00:42:10,440
Speaker 1: rush in jahad Ward and also on the other side

852
00:42:10,480 --> 00:42:14,960
Speaker 1: of jihad Ward. I'm drawn a complete duants move. Those

853
00:42:14,960 --> 00:42:18,279
Speaker 1: guys are bigger, thicker guys, so you've got kind of

854
00:42:18,400 --> 00:42:20,560
Speaker 1: lighter guys and the heavier guys. So they can mix

855
00:42:20,640 --> 00:42:22,680
Speaker 1: and match those guys too and create some issues for

856
00:42:22,760 --> 00:42:25,080
Speaker 1: the Texans tackle. So they got a who's out there

857
00:42:25,360 --> 00:42:28,359
Speaker 1: and what they can do to be effective against those

858
00:42:28,600 --> 00:42:33,759
Speaker 1: outside players lighter, heavier or mixing them together out on

859
00:42:33,880 --> 00:42:36,440
Speaker 1: the edge. So there you go, some keys to keep

860
00:42:36,480 --> 00:42:40,440
Speaker 1: in mind for this game on Sunday against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

861
00:42:40,480 --> 00:42:42,319
Speaker 1: Speaking of the Jaguars, le's learn a little bit more

862
00:42:42,360 --> 00:42:44,759
Speaker 1: about them from a good friend of mine who's become

863
00:42:44,760 --> 00:42:47,120
Speaker 1: a good friend of ours, the voice of the Jaguars,

864
00:42:47,200 --> 00:42:51,360
Speaker 1: Frank Franzie. Next right here in Texas or Axis, we

865
00:42:51,520 --> 00:42:53,040
Speaker 1: got one hour of the books, one hour left to

866
00:42:53,080 --> 00:42:55,120
Speaker 1: go right here on this Friday edition of Texans All

867
00:42:55,160 --> 00:43:00,040
Speaker 1: Acts as a TGI F F F. Well one of

868
00:43:00,040 --> 00:43:02,640
Speaker 1: those f's I can't say, but if I leave it

869
00:43:02,719 --> 00:43:05,680
Speaker 1: as TGI F F, thank god, it's a football Friday

870
00:43:05,840 --> 00:43:08,399
Speaker 1: right here in Texans All Access. I'm your host, John Harris,

871
00:43:08,440 --> 00:43:12,920
Speaker 1: football anals from Monday Texans Radio Studio, and I was

872
00:43:13,080 --> 00:43:16,800
Speaker 1: on earlier down at Jacksonville a friend of mine, Brett Martineau,

873
00:43:17,400 --> 00:43:21,600
Speaker 1: former Jaguar Austin Lane. They or Brent, I should say,

874
00:43:21,680 --> 00:43:25,040
Speaker 1: used to be in the afternoons at ten ten Xcel,

875
00:43:25,120 --> 00:43:28,439
Speaker 1: which is the flagship for the Jacksonville Jaguars. Alongside our

876
00:43:28,560 --> 00:43:33,200
Speaker 1: next guest somebody I've known since my young adult world

877
00:43:33,320 --> 00:43:37,160
Speaker 1: started in Jacksonville, Florida, and that's Frank Frangie. He is

878
00:43:37,200 --> 00:43:40,520
Speaker 1: a Jacksonville institution, took over as a play by play voice.

879
00:43:40,760 --> 00:43:44,680
Speaker 1: I think probably around twenty fourteen. I think twenty twenty fourteen,

880
00:43:45,000 --> 00:43:46,920
Speaker 1: somewhere in that realm he took over as a play

881
00:43:46,960 --> 00:43:49,759
Speaker 1: by play voice and he is a great friend of ours.

882
00:43:49,840 --> 00:43:52,279
Speaker 1: We talked to him often. I love hearing his voice

883
00:43:52,280 --> 00:43:55,000
Speaker 1: because it makes me think of my wife meeting her

884
00:43:55,400 --> 00:43:58,400
Speaker 1: and all the great times that we did have in Jacksonville, Florida.

885
00:43:58,880 --> 00:44:01,560
Speaker 1: I grew up basically listen to Frank. He was one

886
00:44:01,560 --> 00:44:03,840
Speaker 1: of the first sports talk show hosts that I listened

887
00:44:03,880 --> 00:44:06,400
Speaker 1: to on a regular basis, and it's always great to

888
00:44:06,440 --> 00:44:09,719
Speaker 1: catch up with him. And Mark had that opportunity, so

889
00:44:09,880 --> 00:44:12,959
Speaker 1: let's go men behind the mics for the first time

890
00:44:13,360 --> 00:44:17,040
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty one, Mark Vandamer alongside Frank Franzie, the

891
00:44:17,160 --> 00:44:20,480
Speaker 1: voice of the Jacksonville Jaguars. Frank, here we go again,

892
00:44:20,640 --> 00:44:22,640
Speaker 1: my friend. First of all, before we get into the

893
00:44:22,719 --> 00:44:27,400
Speaker 1: nitty gritty of this game. Last year, most radio teams

894
00:44:27,440 --> 00:44:30,120
Speaker 1: did not travel, did it on big video boards and everything.

895
00:44:30,160 --> 00:44:32,320
Speaker 1: How are you guys handling the broadcast part of it

896
00:44:32,440 --> 00:44:34,960
Speaker 1: this year? You know, we are traveling. There's a lot

897
00:44:35,040 --> 00:44:37,640
Speaker 1: of discussion about it. The word we got I think

898
00:44:37,680 --> 00:44:39,680
Speaker 1: and I think you did two. Mark, is that Look,

899
00:44:40,000 --> 00:44:42,360
Speaker 1: the League didn't love the idea of the All twenty

900
00:44:42,400 --> 00:44:45,839
Speaker 1: two almost kind of encouraging us to traveling. And we're

901
00:44:45,880 --> 00:44:48,840
Speaker 1: traveling commercially. You know, we'd always traveled on the charter before,

902
00:44:49,320 --> 00:44:51,320
Speaker 1: but we're not. We're tiered differently, you know, all that

903
00:44:51,600 --> 00:44:54,160
Speaker 1: Tier one and Tier two, None of us are that.

904
00:44:54,440 --> 00:44:57,640
Speaker 1: So we're traveling commercially. It's different. It's a different paradigm.

905
00:44:57,719 --> 00:44:59,840
Speaker 1: You know, we get spoiled now we get on these charters.

906
00:45:00,520 --> 00:45:04,200
Speaker 1: Life is easy. But we're flying commercially to everything. Mark,

907
00:45:04,200 --> 00:45:06,960
Speaker 1: I don't think we're going to London. I think the League.

908
00:45:07,360 --> 00:45:09,640
Speaker 1: Rich McKay who's headed the competition committee, and that's what

909
00:45:09,760 --> 00:45:11,480
Speaker 1: makes that decision on the ALL twenty two, as you know,

910
00:45:12,400 --> 00:45:15,120
Speaker 1: is going to get the competition committee. We hope to

911
00:45:15,239 --> 00:45:18,960
Speaker 1: make an exception for the four London teams, Austin, the Dolphins,

912
00:45:19,000 --> 00:45:21,080
Speaker 1: and the alcs in the Jets. So I think we're

913
00:45:21,080 --> 00:45:23,040
Speaker 1: gonna do that like we did last year with all

914
00:45:23,080 --> 00:45:25,359
Speaker 1: the monitors. But other than that, we're traveling at every game.

915
00:45:25,400 --> 00:45:27,120
Speaker 1: We'll be at every game. Well it's too bad you'll

916
00:45:27,160 --> 00:45:30,480
Speaker 1: miss London, but at least you're gonna be at the games.

917
00:45:30,520 --> 00:45:32,719
Speaker 1: And we're kind of half and half with commercial and

918
00:45:33,000 --> 00:45:35,400
Speaker 1: charter with our radio crew, which is almost harder in

919
00:45:35,560 --> 00:45:38,160
Speaker 1: some ways. But I'm not complaining for and for those

920
00:45:38,280 --> 00:45:41,040
Speaker 1: listening the ALL twenty two, this is the most ridiculous

921
00:45:41,080 --> 00:45:42,840
Speaker 1: thing in the world. I don't mind saying it publicly.

922
00:45:43,080 --> 00:45:45,279
Speaker 1: The ALL twenty two is just a wide angle look

923
00:45:45,320 --> 00:45:47,520
Speaker 1: of the game in real time that we would get

924
00:45:47,560 --> 00:45:49,759
Speaker 1: at our stadium to call the games that are on

925
00:45:49,880 --> 00:45:52,720
Speaker 1: the road. And I guess there's a concern that there's

926
00:45:52,840 --> 00:45:57,360
Speaker 1: some there's some mastermind back at the stadium on the

927
00:45:57,520 --> 00:46:00,799
Speaker 1: road that might spot something that would somehow be able

928
00:46:00,800 --> 00:46:03,920
Speaker 1: to to I don't know, call into the sideline and

929
00:46:04,000 --> 00:46:05,759
Speaker 1: get a play call. I don't know, Frank, how you

930
00:46:05,840 --> 00:46:07,600
Speaker 1: feel about it, but I think it's kind of ridiculous.

931
00:46:07,640 --> 00:46:10,640
Speaker 1: It should always be available. Yeah, and I think that,

932
00:46:10,760 --> 00:46:13,120
Speaker 1: And listen, I think here's my take on that. Mark.

933
00:46:13,160 --> 00:46:15,800
Speaker 1: I get it. This is a whole new world for

934
00:46:15,880 --> 00:46:19,239
Speaker 1: all of us. And my guess is everyone's trying to

935
00:46:19,280 --> 00:46:21,120
Speaker 1: make the decisions as best they can. But I also

936
00:46:21,160 --> 00:46:23,319
Speaker 1: think they're trying to make them quickly, and they're going

937
00:46:23,360 --> 00:46:25,439
Speaker 1: to get through this decision to make this decision about

938
00:46:25,480 --> 00:46:27,440
Speaker 1: where do we see people and what do we do

939
00:46:27,520 --> 00:46:30,200
Speaker 1: with our tickets, and how do we travel and who's

940
00:46:30,239 --> 00:46:33,960
Speaker 1: making protocols and which players are masked and vaccinated which

941
00:46:34,000 --> 00:46:37,000
Speaker 1: ones aren't. And I think because the All twenty two

942
00:46:37,080 --> 00:46:40,239
Speaker 1: for the radio people is one of about fifty things

943
00:46:40,280 --> 00:46:43,160
Speaker 1: they've got to decide, my guess is these decisions get

944
00:46:43,239 --> 00:46:45,600
Speaker 1: made pretty quickly. To us, it's the biggest decision in

945
00:46:45,640 --> 00:46:48,960
Speaker 1: the world, because the most important thing of our week

946
00:46:49,080 --> 00:46:50,719
Speaker 1: is call in that game. And I get that. But

947
00:46:50,840 --> 00:46:53,560
Speaker 1: if my guess is we're one of many decisions they

948
00:46:53,600 --> 00:46:55,840
Speaker 1: have to make. So we travel, and we travel commercially,

949
00:46:55,880 --> 00:46:58,479
Speaker 1: and I'm like you though I like being at the Games,

950
00:46:58,800 --> 00:47:00,640
Speaker 1: I will tell you this, the part of it I

951
00:47:00,719 --> 00:47:02,320
Speaker 1: do like I missed, and I know you and I

952
00:47:02,400 --> 00:47:04,560
Speaker 1: had to talk off the line. I've missed being at

953
00:47:04,600 --> 00:47:07,759
Speaker 1: the Games last year. I'm very excited that we're back

954
00:47:07,760 --> 00:47:09,560
Speaker 1: at the Games. I could tell you that, Yep, there's

955
00:47:09,640 --> 00:47:11,200
Speaker 1: nothing like being in the booth. I'm being able to

956
00:47:11,280 --> 00:47:12,960
Speaker 1: call these things and we're very blessed to do it.

957
00:47:13,120 --> 00:47:17,120
Speaker 1: So Opening Day, Sunday, high noon, NRG Stadium. I know

958
00:47:17,280 --> 00:47:19,160
Speaker 1: everybody in the world has asked you about the quarterback.

959
00:47:19,200 --> 00:47:21,160
Speaker 1: I'm not going to do that just yet, Frank, I

960
00:47:21,280 --> 00:47:23,600
Speaker 1: want you to tell me something about the Jaguars that

961
00:47:23,840 --> 00:47:27,120
Speaker 1: no one is really talking about outside of Jacksonville. Something

962
00:47:27,160 --> 00:47:29,480
Speaker 1: about this team that you like, or maybe something you're

963
00:47:29,480 --> 00:47:32,560
Speaker 1: concerned with about the Jaguars as they head into the

964
00:47:32,600 --> 00:47:35,360
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one season that not many people have noticed

965
00:47:35,360 --> 00:47:37,560
Speaker 1: outside of the market. All Right, I'll tell you this,

966
00:47:37,840 --> 00:47:40,120
Speaker 1: I think, and it's young, and it may not show

967
00:47:40,200 --> 00:47:43,560
Speaker 1: up this week or three weeks, but this will be

968
00:47:43,680 --> 00:47:47,840
Speaker 1: a young athletic defense unlike ones we've had here in

969
00:47:47,960 --> 00:47:53,200
Speaker 1: a long time. I've watched, You've watched, We've watched these Ravens, Steelers,

970
00:47:53,840 --> 00:47:57,439
Speaker 1: these three four looks where you never know who's coming,

971
00:47:58,360 --> 00:48:01,160
Speaker 1: or the outside linebacker you think his coming is gonna

972
00:48:01,239 --> 00:48:03,839
Speaker 1: drop and they fire the strong safety and this guy

973
00:48:03,960 --> 00:48:08,160
Speaker 1: comes and it's created havoc. So much talk about Urban

974
00:48:08,200 --> 00:48:10,880
Speaker 1: and Trevor Lawrence and what they're going to do offensively

975
00:48:11,480 --> 00:48:13,799
Speaker 1: that what's gotten lost, at least nationally a little bit

976
00:48:13,840 --> 00:48:16,040
Speaker 1: to me is they're gonna be fun on defense, and

977
00:48:16,080 --> 00:48:18,520
Speaker 1: I don't know if their personnel's there yet. Urban r

978
00:48:18,600 --> 00:48:20,640
Speaker 1: has always had fast teams and fast defenses as a

979
00:48:20,719 --> 00:48:23,359
Speaker 1: college coach, and he wants that eventually. Whether they're there

980
00:48:23,440 --> 00:48:24,920
Speaker 1: yet or not, we'll find out in the in this

981
00:48:25,040 --> 00:48:27,400
Speaker 1: first quarter of the season, I guess, Mark, But I

982
00:48:27,560 --> 00:48:29,880
Speaker 1: like how fun and athletic I think they're going to

983
00:48:29,960 --> 00:48:33,160
Speaker 1: be defensively, and then and it's gonna look they may

984
00:48:33,239 --> 00:48:35,320
Speaker 1: not have the personnel, they don't know the personnel, but

985
00:48:35,440 --> 00:48:37,759
Speaker 1: it's gonna look like the Steelers and the Ravens with

986
00:48:37,880 --> 00:48:40,359
Speaker 1: a three four look and you never know who's coming.

987
00:48:40,640 --> 00:48:42,239
Speaker 1: So keep an eye on that because I think that's

988
00:48:42,280 --> 00:48:43,880
Speaker 1: how they're going to try and play defensively, and I

989
00:48:43,960 --> 00:48:45,920
Speaker 1: think the teams around the league know that. But as

990
00:48:45,960 --> 00:48:48,799
Speaker 1: far as fans and media, that'll be something different. That's

991
00:48:48,840 --> 00:48:51,520
Speaker 1: something as a guy calling the play is calling the game.

992
00:48:51,560 --> 00:48:53,560
Speaker 1: I'm kind of excited about. All Right, let's talk about

993
00:48:53,560 --> 00:48:56,080
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence. Now, you were telling me something interesting about

994
00:48:56,200 --> 00:49:00,279
Speaker 1: him that might seem obvious, but it's not, and it's

995
00:49:00,320 --> 00:49:03,919
Speaker 1: worth bringing up. What was that, Frank, Every game he's

996
00:49:03,960 --> 00:49:07,600
Speaker 1: probably ever played in, Almost every game he's ever played in,

997
00:49:07,840 --> 00:49:10,879
Speaker 1: other than maybe a national championship game or two against

998
00:49:10,880 --> 00:49:13,760
Speaker 1: Ohio State or Alabama. But from high school to college,

999
00:49:14,480 --> 00:49:16,439
Speaker 1: his team has been way better than the other team.

1000
00:49:16,560 --> 00:49:17,920
Speaker 1: We talked about that with Urban a lot, but it's

1001
00:49:17,960 --> 00:49:20,440
Speaker 1: the same with a quarterback. Trevor has been surrounded by

1002
00:49:20,520 --> 00:49:23,800
Speaker 1: those guys at Cartersville High and Clemson who are always

1003
00:49:23,880 --> 00:49:26,200
Speaker 1: better than the guys on the other sideline. He's got adjustice.

1004
00:49:26,360 --> 00:49:28,920
Speaker 1: That's not the case now. Everybody's got good players, so

1005
00:49:29,040 --> 00:49:30,960
Speaker 1: not just a coach. The quarterbacks got adjusted. He's got

1006
00:49:31,040 --> 00:49:32,960
Speaker 1: to make some adjusting. But I really like him. He's

1007
00:49:33,000 --> 00:49:35,520
Speaker 1: got all the skills. You know what I like best, Mark,

1008
00:49:35,600 --> 00:49:38,000
Speaker 1: This guy is really humble. There's no arrogance. You know,

1009
00:49:38,040 --> 00:49:40,120
Speaker 1: when you've been told you the greatest first so long?

1010
00:49:40,640 --> 00:49:42,719
Speaker 1: Sometimes you guys who don't mean to be arrogance, some

1011
00:49:42,760 --> 00:49:45,600
Speaker 1: of it seeps out. Man, he doesn't. It doesn't with him.

1012
00:49:45,640 --> 00:49:47,360
Speaker 1: He is a humble guy. He is a he's a

1013
00:49:47,520 --> 00:49:52,200
Speaker 1: real genuine, understated personality, which I think is really cool.

1014
00:49:52,360 --> 00:49:54,239
Speaker 1: So I think it's gonna be fun watching him. We

1015
00:49:54,600 --> 00:49:56,960
Speaker 1: haven't had we haven't had the superstar around here very often.

1016
00:49:57,040 --> 00:49:58,680
Speaker 1: You know that we haven't had that. You've had it

1017
00:49:58,719 --> 00:50:00,480
Speaker 1: with the Shawn Watson for a lot of years. Most

1018
00:50:00,480 --> 00:50:04,200
Speaker 1: of the cults have had its, obviously with with Andrew Luck.

1019
00:50:04,280 --> 00:50:06,440
Speaker 1: The Titans have it with Dereck Henry in a different position.

1020
00:50:06,560 --> 00:50:08,160
Speaker 1: We haven't had that guy right here very often. So

1021
00:50:08,760 --> 00:50:10,319
Speaker 1: I think we're excited about it. He's a good dude,

1022
00:50:10,320 --> 00:50:11,920
Speaker 1: and I think he's gonna be really good quarterback. But

1023
00:50:12,040 --> 00:50:13,880
Speaker 1: you gotta think they're gonna try to run the football

1024
00:50:13,920 --> 00:50:17,480
Speaker 1: with James Robinson, right, So how is that going in

1025
00:50:17,640 --> 00:50:20,759
Speaker 1: concert with the offensive line and the running backs? Yeah,

1026
00:50:20,840 --> 00:50:22,960
Speaker 1: I think they'll be I think there'll be more balanced

1027
00:50:22,960 --> 00:50:25,680
Speaker 1: than you think. I think the offensive line, the three

1028
00:50:25,840 --> 00:50:29,320
Speaker 1: the three interior guys are very good. Norwell, Lender and

1029
00:50:29,480 --> 00:50:32,000
Speaker 1: Can That's that's as good as guard center guard as

1030
00:50:32,040 --> 00:50:34,680
Speaker 1: there is around. I believe that the young tackles have

1031
00:50:34,760 --> 00:50:37,279
Speaker 1: to play better. Cam Robinson had a good Cam John Taylor.

1032
00:50:37,320 --> 00:50:39,640
Speaker 1: The two young tackles both drafted high. They'll stay high.

1033
00:50:39,680 --> 00:50:41,920
Speaker 1: Second round guys have to play a little bit better.

1034
00:50:42,560 --> 00:50:44,759
Speaker 1: I think what you're gonna see and nobody knows. But

1035
00:50:44,920 --> 00:50:47,520
Speaker 1: I'm just guessing because you're gonna see. Yeah, they're gonna

1036
00:50:47,560 --> 00:50:49,080
Speaker 1: run the ball so but they want to be balanced.

1037
00:50:49,120 --> 00:50:51,440
Speaker 1: You got Urban, who's always been a spread guy in college.

1038
00:50:51,800 --> 00:50:54,680
Speaker 1: You got Daryl Bevill and Shotty Brian Schotenheimer, and they're

1039
00:50:54,680 --> 00:50:56,720
Speaker 1: probably gonna my guess that they're gonna try an NFL

1040
00:50:56,800 --> 00:51:00,239
Speaker 1: eyes the Urban spread a little so. But but he's

1041
00:51:00,239 --> 00:51:02,279
Speaker 1: gonna know exactly what they do to the game's played.

1042
00:51:02,600 --> 00:51:04,560
Speaker 1: But I don't think it's gonna be pound pound pound.

1043
00:51:04,600 --> 00:51:06,160
Speaker 1: I think you're gonna see a little bit of a mix.

1044
00:51:06,960 --> 00:51:09,239
Speaker 1: But yeah, James Robinson's a very good player. He's he's

1045
00:51:09,280 --> 00:51:11,080
Speaker 1: probably the best player on the offense, if not the

1046
00:51:11,120 --> 00:51:13,160
Speaker 1: best player on the football team. You're gonna see a

1047
00:51:13,160 --> 00:51:15,440
Speaker 1: steady die to him, for sure. Frank, how did you

1048
00:51:15,560 --> 00:51:18,680
Speaker 1: like the form out of three preseason games? Nothing on

1049
00:51:18,840 --> 00:51:22,320
Speaker 1: Labor Day, the early arrival at the fifty three man roster,

1050
00:51:22,600 --> 00:51:26,279
Speaker 1: despite changes that happened afterwards and now seventeen games in

1051
00:51:26,320 --> 00:51:29,520
Speaker 1: the regular season. I think they if they have to

1052
00:51:29,640 --> 00:51:32,680
Speaker 1: have twenty gates, if they have to have ten home gates,

1053
00:51:32,719 --> 00:51:35,279
Speaker 1: if that's if that's what makes the business model work

1054
00:51:35,360 --> 00:51:38,319
Speaker 1: for these guys, Martin, I'd rather go to eighteen and two,

1055
00:51:38,400 --> 00:51:40,919
Speaker 1: which I think they're gonna get to. I think four

1056
00:51:41,160 --> 00:51:43,800
Speaker 1: was way too many preseason games. I think three is

1057
00:51:43,840 --> 00:51:46,120
Speaker 1: too many preseason games. Now. I know that means more

1058
00:51:46,160 --> 00:51:48,759
Speaker 1: games account and I get that there's more wear and

1059
00:51:48,800 --> 00:51:50,920
Speaker 1: tear because it's a different playing in that game than

1060
00:51:50,960 --> 00:51:53,080
Speaker 1: playing in a preseason game. Starters play the whole time.

1061
00:51:53,120 --> 00:51:55,640
Speaker 1: I get it, but I think four was way too

1062
00:51:55,680 --> 00:51:57,960
Speaker 1: many preseason games. I kind of liked it. I like

1063
00:51:58,239 --> 00:52:01,680
Speaker 1: three better. Look we all did. That fourth preseason game

1064
00:52:02,360 --> 00:52:06,160
Speaker 1: was a throwaway game. Now different teams treated it differently.

1065
00:52:06,239 --> 00:52:09,840
Speaker 1: We played Dallas a third preseason game. Dallas treated that

1066
00:52:09,920 --> 00:52:13,120
Speaker 1: game like the old fourth game. Nobody played in the game, nobody.

1067
00:52:13,200 --> 00:52:15,800
Speaker 1: They had thirty five guys to the Jacks treated it

1068
00:52:15,880 --> 00:52:18,279
Speaker 1: like the old third game. Were they treated when they

1069
00:52:18,360 --> 00:52:20,400
Speaker 1: were They played guys for a half. So the Jacks

1070
00:52:20,440 --> 00:52:22,480
Speaker 1: won the game. Easily because their starters played against a

1071
00:52:22,480 --> 00:52:24,160
Speaker 1: bunch of guys that probably aren't going to make the

1072
00:52:24,200 --> 00:52:27,080
Speaker 1: Cowboys team. But I thought that fourth game was such

1073
00:52:27,080 --> 00:52:29,680
Speaker 1: a throwaway game, Mark, I like it way better now

1074
00:52:30,239 --> 00:52:32,960
Speaker 1: where we have three games. I think old. I think,

1075
00:52:33,000 --> 00:52:35,000
Speaker 1: don't you think we we're going to eighteen and two eventually?

1076
00:52:36,640 --> 00:52:38,600
Speaker 1: And I like that alight. So do you want to

1077
00:52:38,640 --> 00:52:43,200
Speaker 1: hear my groundbreaking idea which no one loves you? Idea? Okay, idea? Guy, Yes,

1078
00:52:43,239 --> 00:52:44,920
Speaker 1: I want to hear this. Here we go in the

1079
00:52:45,120 --> 00:52:51,239
Speaker 1: spring around early June. You play a game against another opponent, right,

1080
00:52:51,960 --> 00:52:55,400
Speaker 1: and it's only your developmental guys and the rookies that

1081
00:52:55,480 --> 00:52:58,239
Speaker 1: you want to play. It's the old fourth game, right.

1082
00:52:58,800 --> 00:53:01,000
Speaker 1: It's a way to get those guys some reps. But

1083
00:53:01,080 --> 00:53:03,319
Speaker 1: it's a controlled thing. It's like the Pro Bowl. It's

1084
00:53:03,400 --> 00:53:05,879
Speaker 1: thud really, it's not taking them to the ground. It's

1085
00:53:05,880 --> 00:53:09,040
Speaker 1: not an all out tackle fest. It's more like a

1086
00:53:09,120 --> 00:53:13,080
Speaker 1: controlled scrimmage and you televise it. Thoughts, I love it.

1087
00:53:13,239 --> 00:53:15,400
Speaker 1: I love it. I've always I've never heard that for

1088
00:53:15,440 --> 00:53:20,160
Speaker 1: the NFL. I suggested something similar for college. I think

1089
00:53:20,200 --> 00:53:22,960
Speaker 1: the colleges should in the end the spring, I think

1090
00:53:23,719 --> 00:53:25,960
Speaker 1: fas you should play Michigan and one of those scrimmages

1091
00:53:26,200 --> 00:53:28,839
Speaker 1: rather than a spring game. So I've also I love

1092
00:53:28,920 --> 00:53:30,800
Speaker 1: the idea. I think it'd be a great idea. But

1093
00:53:30,880 --> 00:53:33,400
Speaker 1: I wouldn't tackle. I wouldn't tackle the quarterback. I wouldn't

1094
00:53:33,480 --> 00:53:35,360
Speaker 1: a quarterback. But I know I love it. I love

1095
00:53:35,400 --> 00:53:36,920
Speaker 1: Put me to sign me, and you got a petition,

1096
00:53:37,000 --> 00:53:39,239
Speaker 1: start put me down. I'll sign it. I'll sign. I'll

1097
00:53:39,239 --> 00:53:41,000
Speaker 1: go online and sign your petition. I love the idea.

1098
00:53:41,040 --> 00:53:45,360
Speaker 1: I'm sure Roger will take my call right away on that. Frank,

1099
00:53:45,520 --> 00:53:48,719
Speaker 1: what are people in Jacksonville saying about the Texans? What

1100
00:53:48,800 --> 00:53:51,040
Speaker 1: do you think of it? From your point of view?

1101
00:53:51,480 --> 00:53:54,399
Speaker 1: What you're seeing over here? You know I will tell

1102
00:53:54,440 --> 00:53:58,040
Speaker 1: you and from the bottom of my heart, I have

1103
00:53:58,320 --> 00:54:00,800
Speaker 1: no idea what to expect. I can tell you that,

1104
00:54:01,120 --> 00:54:03,439
Speaker 1: and when we do this on my air, I'm gonna

1105
00:54:03,440 --> 00:54:05,320
Speaker 1: ask you that because I have no idea. What I

1106
00:54:05,400 --> 00:54:08,440
Speaker 1: have no idea. David Culley well liked by everybody. I

1107
00:54:08,480 --> 00:54:09,960
Speaker 1: have no idea. What kind of head coach you'll be?

1108
00:54:10,320 --> 00:54:14,200
Speaker 1: Tyrod Taylor's a veteran guy who's been around, great player,

1109
00:54:14,239 --> 00:54:17,239
Speaker 1: has not been a bad player. What's the culture in

1110
00:54:17,320 --> 00:54:19,880
Speaker 1: the locker room. What's I mean, everybody in the world

1111
00:54:20,080 --> 00:54:22,839
Speaker 1: is talking about the Houston Texans and and it's going

1112
00:54:22,880 --> 00:54:24,480
Speaker 1: to be a disaster and they're not going to be

1113
00:54:24,640 --> 00:54:26,520
Speaker 1: very good and how did this happen? And what's gonna

1114
00:54:26,520 --> 00:54:28,719
Speaker 1: happen with Watson? Well, I know this, the Texans have

1115
00:54:28,800 --> 00:54:30,800
Speaker 1: been pretty damn good in this division my years calling this.

1116
00:54:30,960 --> 00:54:32,960
Speaker 1: In these games, I could tell you that there's a

1117
00:54:33,040 --> 00:54:35,839
Speaker 1: pride within the organization. I believe that they know how

1118
00:54:35,920 --> 00:54:38,600
Speaker 1: to play, Their fans have an expectation it's a fantastic

1119
00:54:38,760 --> 00:54:41,920
Speaker 1: or a stadium. I think there's enough pride with what

1120
00:54:42,000 --> 00:54:44,200
Speaker 1: the Texans do, then I'm not sure it's going to

1121
00:54:44,239 --> 00:54:46,600
Speaker 1: be such a bad thing. So, but I don't know

1122
00:54:46,719 --> 00:54:49,319
Speaker 1: what to think. I think people, not just in Jacksonville, Martin,

1123
00:54:49,760 --> 00:54:52,279
Speaker 1: I think people think the Texans are going to be

1124
00:54:52,320 --> 00:54:54,720
Speaker 1: an abomination this year just because of all the stuff

1125
00:54:54,719 --> 00:54:57,400
Speaker 1: that happened. I don't think I believe that. Again, I've

1126
00:54:57,760 --> 00:55:00,560
Speaker 1: I've I've watched the team I call game for losing

1127
00:55:00,680 --> 00:55:02,759
Speaker 1: enough games to the Texans. I've watched the Texans win

1128
00:55:02,840 --> 00:55:05,560
Speaker 1: that division enough time that I think there's there's a

1129
00:55:05,640 --> 00:55:08,560
Speaker 1: significance to the heritage of your organization, and I think

1130
00:55:08,600 --> 00:55:10,600
Speaker 1: the recent heritage of the Texas is very good. So

1131
00:55:11,160 --> 00:55:14,160
Speaker 1: I don't know what to expect. I don't think anybody

1132
00:55:14,200 --> 00:55:17,240
Speaker 1: here knows what to expect in terms of culture effort,

1133
00:55:17,520 --> 00:55:20,760
Speaker 1: what the fan will be sold out? Are the fans excited?

1134
00:55:20,760 --> 00:55:22,239
Speaker 1: I don't think any of us know that, Marco. I

1135
00:55:22,280 --> 00:55:24,080
Speaker 1: can't wait to find out those day at those answers.

1136
00:55:24,200 --> 00:55:26,359
Speaker 1: We'll find out Sunday at noon. Frank, thanks so much

1137
00:55:26,400 --> 00:55:29,200
Speaker 1: for joining us anytime. MARKO forward to seium. Of all

1138
00:55:29,239 --> 00:55:31,000
Speaker 1: the words that Frank said, and there are a lot

1139
00:55:31,080 --> 00:55:34,280
Speaker 1: of them there because both of them are talk show hosts.

1140
00:55:34,440 --> 00:55:36,120
Speaker 1: The one he said right there at the end, look

1141
00:55:36,200 --> 00:55:39,040
Speaker 1: forward to seeing you on Sunday is about it as

1142
00:55:39,120 --> 00:55:41,000
Speaker 1: cool as it gets. The fact that we will be

1143
00:55:41,120 --> 00:55:44,719
Speaker 1: able to see our radio counterparts, which I always look

1144
00:55:44,760 --> 00:55:46,480
Speaker 1: forward to. I always look forward to seeing you we

1145
00:55:46,560 --> 00:55:49,080
Speaker 1: play Buffalo, my buddy South Pacos down the sidelines, and

1146
00:55:49,160 --> 00:55:52,719
Speaker 1: knowing Frank for a long time, so it's always cool

1147
00:55:53,080 --> 00:55:56,480
Speaker 1: to hear those words. We will see you on Sunday,

1148
00:55:56,520 --> 00:55:59,680
Speaker 1: and hopefully we'll see you the listener. You guys listening

1149
00:55:59,760 --> 00:56:02,920
Speaker 1: right now, see you guys out at the Ballyard in

1150
00:56:03,120 --> 00:56:07,320
Speaker 1: urg Stadium on Sunday as well, coming up. It's my predictions.

1151
00:56:07,360 --> 00:56:11,040
Speaker 1: I do them every year. We've got this weekend. I've

1152
00:56:11,040 --> 00:56:13,000
Speaker 1: been the Monday night games too, so we'll do that.

1153
00:56:13,239 --> 00:56:16,160
Speaker 1: So we'll just I think I would have gotten last night,

1154
00:56:16,239 --> 00:56:17,560
Speaker 1: So I think I picked the Bucks to win, but

1155
00:56:17,680 --> 00:56:19,960
Speaker 1: Cowboys to cover. I think, but that was maybe just

1156
00:56:20,040 --> 00:56:22,560
Speaker 1: in my own mind. So I have no idea. But

1157
00:56:23,120 --> 00:56:26,560
Speaker 1: we've got fifteen other games going on, minus the Texas one,

1158
00:56:26,600 --> 00:56:28,240
Speaker 1: which you know I never picked. I never go against

1159
00:56:28,239 --> 00:56:29,320
Speaker 1: my heart in my head, but I pick all of

1160
00:56:29,400 --> 00:56:31,960
Speaker 1: them straight up and against the spread. Next right here

1161
00:56:32,000 --> 00:56:37,440
Speaker 1: on Texans All Access. This welcome back to this Friday

1162
00:56:37,600 --> 00:56:41,439
Speaker 1: edition of Texans All Access the TGI f F. Thank

1163
00:56:41,480 --> 00:56:44,480
Speaker 1: god it's football Friday edition of Texans All Access. I'm

1164
00:56:44,520 --> 00:56:47,080
Speaker 1: your host, Sean Harris, as I have been the last

1165
00:56:47,280 --> 00:56:50,840
Speaker 1: eight Well this is my eighth season, last seven seasons.

1166
00:56:50,880 --> 00:56:54,399
Speaker 1: How about that. I'll get it right eventually, eventually. It's

1167
00:56:54,440 --> 00:56:56,480
Speaker 1: been a long day. It's already been a long day.

1168
00:56:56,520 --> 00:56:59,400
Speaker 1: But you know what, it's fun because, as Ernie Johnson

1169
00:56:59,520 --> 00:57:02,719
Speaker 1: said when he went and visited the University of Alabama,

1170
00:57:02,800 --> 00:57:05,919
Speaker 1: he has a get too job, not a got to job.

1171
00:57:06,400 --> 00:57:08,320
Speaker 1: He's a get too. He gets to go hang with

1172
00:57:08,440 --> 00:57:11,600
Speaker 1: Charles Barkley and Kenny Smith and Shack and I get

1173
00:57:11,719 --> 00:57:15,399
Speaker 1: to talk football with you and I get too. During

1174
00:57:15,440 --> 00:57:22,200
Speaker 1: this segment, pick every game in the NFL this weekend

1175
00:57:23,360 --> 00:57:27,040
Speaker 1: against the spread, straight up. Now, gambling has made its

1176
00:57:27,120 --> 00:57:29,960
Speaker 1: way into our lexicon, probably a little bit more, especially

1177
00:57:30,040 --> 00:57:35,520
Speaker 1: in certain places where gambling is allowed, so it's there now.

1178
00:57:35,920 --> 00:57:38,640
Speaker 1: I do it on this show just as a way

1179
00:57:38,680 --> 00:57:42,600
Speaker 1: of talking about the games themselves. Now, there's one game

1180
00:57:42,680 --> 00:57:46,520
Speaker 1: I will not pick, and you know which one that is.

1181
00:57:46,640 --> 00:57:50,640
Speaker 1: I am I'm never going to pick Texans games. I

1182
00:57:50,880 --> 00:57:53,760
Speaker 1: can't go against my heart in my head, so I don't.

1183
00:57:54,640 --> 00:57:57,240
Speaker 1: But I will pick every other game straight up and

1184
00:57:57,240 --> 00:57:59,360
Speaker 1: against the spread because it's fun. It's like going around

1185
00:57:59,400 --> 00:58:01,440
Speaker 1: the NFL that way. It's just I do it a

1186
00:58:01,480 --> 00:58:04,680
Speaker 1: little differently by picking the games and putting myself out there.

1187
00:58:04,840 --> 00:58:09,200
Speaker 1: And by putting myself out there, I mean, well, I'm

1188
00:58:09,600 --> 00:58:14,320
Speaker 1: gonna be wrong. Maybe once, maybe twice, I don't know,

1189
00:58:15,080 --> 00:58:17,800
Speaker 1: maybe a couple times, but not that much. But every

1190
00:58:17,840 --> 00:58:19,840
Speaker 1: time I'm wrong, somebody points it out to me, Oh

1191
00:58:19,920 --> 00:58:23,080
Speaker 1: you missed this, you missed that, Yeah I did, So

1192
00:58:24,120 --> 00:58:27,800
Speaker 1: what I missed it, and I'll miss a lot of these,

1193
00:58:27,920 --> 00:58:30,640
Speaker 1: but I'll tell you what my college picks last week. Whoa.

1194
00:58:31,240 --> 00:58:33,280
Speaker 1: And by the way, if you want my college picks

1195
00:58:33,400 --> 00:58:35,720
Speaker 1: for this week, football takeover dot com. I got my

1196
00:58:35,760 --> 00:58:38,880
Speaker 1: Week two predictions up there. Pick games, give me the scores,

1197
00:58:38,920 --> 00:58:41,760
Speaker 1: give me key player to watch for every single game

1198
00:58:43,120 --> 00:58:46,040
Speaker 1: that's for Saturday. And by the way, you're from Sam

1199
00:58:46,080 --> 00:58:49,560
Speaker 1: Houston State. Check it out on Saturday against SMO. You

1200
00:58:49,680 --> 00:58:53,280
Speaker 1: might recognize the name calling your game. Yeah, Tom Franklin

1201
00:58:53,760 --> 00:58:56,120
Speaker 1: and me I'll be there as well, So we'll be

1202
00:58:56,160 --> 00:59:00,560
Speaker 1: calling the game Saturday for the Bearcats the national champs. Man,

1203
00:59:00,600 --> 00:59:02,840
Speaker 1: that's really cool to say. So you got that to

1204
00:59:02,840 --> 00:59:05,880
Speaker 1: look forward to. But we've got games on Sunday, Sunday night,

1205
00:59:06,320 --> 00:59:09,160
Speaker 1: and Monday night to look forward to. So let's get

1206
00:59:09,240 --> 00:59:12,040
Speaker 1: to it. But cramp my music back up because I

1207
00:59:12,240 --> 00:59:17,920
Speaker 1: always do this with my music. And let's start in

1208
00:59:18,120 --> 00:59:22,000
Speaker 1: Atlanta where Arthur Smith makes his debut for the Atlanta

1209
00:59:22,200 --> 00:59:28,160
Speaker 1: Falcons taking on the Philadelphia Eagles. It's Matt Ryan versus

1210
00:59:28,880 --> 00:59:33,800
Speaker 1: Carson Jalen Hurts. Yes, it's Jalen Hurts. Matt Ryan is

1211
00:59:33,920 --> 00:59:38,320
Speaker 1: three and ozho in his career against the Eagles at

1212
00:59:38,440 --> 00:59:41,720
Speaker 1: home and Atlanta's favored by three and a half. Now,

1213
00:59:41,720 --> 00:59:43,720
Speaker 1: I don't think Atlanta is going to be exceptionally good

1214
00:59:43,760 --> 00:59:47,120
Speaker 1: this year. There's no Julio Jones. Defense is still not

1215
00:59:47,480 --> 00:59:49,480
Speaker 1: quite where it needs to be. But Arthur Smith, I

1216
00:59:49,560 --> 00:59:51,280
Speaker 1: think is a whale of a play caller, and I

1217
00:59:51,360 --> 00:59:54,240
Speaker 1: think he's gonna do a pretty solid job so at

1218
00:59:54,280 --> 00:59:56,960
Speaker 1: home in the debut, I think the Falcons're gonna show

1219
00:59:57,040 --> 01:00:00,520
Speaker 1: a little something playing for Arthur Smith. It's a three

1220
01:00:00,520 --> 01:00:03,520
Speaker 1: and a half point spread. I'm going Falcons to win

1221
01:00:03,840 --> 01:00:05,680
Speaker 1: and cover that three and a half. I don't like

1222
01:00:05,800 --> 01:00:09,160
Speaker 1: the hook that half, but I'm rolling with it. Arthur

1223
01:00:09,240 --> 01:00:13,120
Speaker 1: Smith gets a win in his debut against Nick Sirianni

1224
01:00:13,280 --> 01:00:18,480
Speaker 1: in his debut, Let's go Falcons covering and winning. Then

1225
01:00:18,760 --> 01:00:21,360
Speaker 1: one of the better games of the twelve o'clock window

1226
01:00:21,480 --> 01:00:25,600
Speaker 1: takes place in Buffalo at high Mark Stadium, the Bills

1227
01:00:26,240 --> 01:00:29,280
Speaker 1: taking on the Steelers. This is the seventh straight year

1228
01:00:29,840 --> 01:00:34,120
Speaker 1: the Steelers have started on the road and they go

1229
01:00:34,200 --> 01:00:36,000
Speaker 1: in as a six point I'm six and a half

1230
01:00:36,080 --> 01:00:39,280
Speaker 1: point underdog to the Bills. I think the Steelers are

1231
01:00:39,320 --> 01:00:41,400
Speaker 1: gonna be better. The more I've thought about this and

1232
01:00:41,440 --> 01:00:43,400
Speaker 1: the closer we've got to the season, I've changed my mind.

1233
01:00:43,440 --> 01:00:47,480
Speaker 1: I think the Steelers are gonna be better than everybody thinks. However,

1234
01:00:47,880 --> 01:00:51,120
Speaker 1: I think the Bills are going to be exceptional. That said,

1235
01:00:51,600 --> 01:00:53,480
Speaker 1: the Bills are gonna get this win, but the Steelers

1236
01:00:53,520 --> 01:00:55,280
Speaker 1: gonna make this close. They're gonna get inside that six

1237
01:00:55,320 --> 01:00:58,520
Speaker 1: and a half. I'm thinking twenty four, twenty twenty seven,

1238
01:00:58,600 --> 01:01:03,400
Speaker 1: twenty three, three four point margin. Bills win, but the

1239
01:01:03,480 --> 01:01:06,080
Speaker 1: Steelers are going to get that cover on the road.

1240
01:01:06,560 --> 01:01:07,920
Speaker 1: As we said, they knew how to play on the

1241
01:01:08,000 --> 01:01:10,840
Speaker 1: road to bed of the road the last seven years.

1242
01:01:10,920 --> 01:01:15,720
Speaker 1: That's crazy to think about. So Steelers cover, Bills win

1243
01:01:16,320 --> 01:01:20,320
Speaker 1: all right. The Mike Zimmer Bowl, the Vikings taking on

1244
01:01:20,920 --> 01:01:23,280
Speaker 1: the Bengals. Now, the Vikings have done a pretty good

1245
01:01:23,320 --> 01:01:25,680
Speaker 1: job in Week one. However, I think last year in

1246
01:01:25,760 --> 01:01:28,640
Speaker 1: Week one was the Packers, and the Packers looked them

1247
01:01:28,760 --> 01:01:32,800
Speaker 1: up like a Christmas tree. Now Minnesota should be better offensively,

1248
01:01:33,680 --> 01:01:37,800
Speaker 1: You've got sorry defensively last year was an outright mess.

1249
01:01:38,480 --> 01:01:42,080
Speaker 1: But they've gotten players back. Kendrickson bar back at linebacker.

1250
01:01:42,200 --> 01:01:44,840
Speaker 1: They just re up with Harrison Smith as safety. I

1251
01:01:44,920 --> 01:01:47,360
Speaker 1: think Patrick Pierson makes a difference for them at corner,

1252
01:01:47,520 --> 01:01:50,440
Speaker 1: and they're taking on the LSU Bengals led by Joe

1253
01:01:50,520 --> 01:01:54,080
Speaker 1: Burrow and Jamar Chase. The Vikings on the road are

1254
01:01:54,120 --> 01:01:56,560
Speaker 1: a three point favorite. I think the Vikings come out

1255
01:01:56,560 --> 01:02:00,640
Speaker 1: of the gates hot. I think Burrow does some things late,

1256
01:02:00,880 --> 01:02:03,760
Speaker 1: gets adjusted. I remember that twenty eighteen game that we

1257
01:02:03,880 --> 01:02:06,840
Speaker 1: kicked off this season, the Sean coming off acl fill

1258
01:02:06,920 --> 01:02:09,360
Speaker 1: rusty start. I think Burro will be rusty starting. The

1259
01:02:09,440 --> 01:02:15,120
Speaker 1: Vikings take advantage. Let's go with Kirk Cousins. I'm a

1260
01:02:15,200 --> 01:02:17,720
Speaker 1: big fan, but let's go to Cousins and the Vikings

1261
01:02:17,800 --> 01:02:21,640
Speaker 1: to cover that three. And Justin Jefferson boy man LSU

1262
01:02:21,760 --> 01:02:24,200
Speaker 1: twenty nineteen team has been represented. I think Justin Jeffers

1263
01:02:24,200 --> 01:02:26,240
Speaker 1: has a big ball game against the Bengals and the

1264
01:02:26,520 --> 01:02:29,560
Speaker 1: and the Vikings gonna win over the Bengals on the

1265
01:02:29,720 --> 01:02:33,600
Speaker 1: road and cover the three. Also at noon up in Detroit,

1266
01:02:34,480 --> 01:02:38,560
Speaker 1: the Jimmy Garoppolo Trey Lance Experiment begins San Francisco as

1267
01:02:38,560 --> 01:02:42,680
Speaker 1: an eight point favorite against the Lions. Jared Goff starting

1268
01:02:42,680 --> 01:02:45,640
Speaker 1: for the Lions, the seamens forty Niners defense, and San

1269
01:02:45,680 --> 01:02:50,280
Speaker 1: Francisco has won ten of the last eleven against Detroit.

1270
01:02:51,240 --> 01:02:53,840
Speaker 1: I think it becomes eleven of twelve to Niners win.

1271
01:02:54,200 --> 01:02:56,400
Speaker 1: I don't love the eight here because I'm not totally

1272
01:02:56,440 --> 01:03:00,320
Speaker 1: sure what the Niners have offensively with this Garoppolo land thing,

1273
01:03:01,040 --> 01:03:03,320
Speaker 1: but I'll trust it because I trust Shanahan. So I

1274
01:03:03,440 --> 01:03:05,080
Speaker 1: think this is gonna be a ten point win for

1275
01:03:05,160 --> 01:03:08,439
Speaker 1: the forty nine ers, like twenty seven, seventeen, thirty seven,

1276
01:03:08,480 --> 01:03:10,480
Speaker 1: twenty something like that. They're gonna win this game by

1277
01:03:10,560 --> 01:03:14,919
Speaker 1: ten or more. So go Niners to cover and win

1278
01:03:15,760 --> 01:03:19,680
Speaker 1: on the road against Dan Campbell making his coaching debut

1279
01:03:19,840 --> 01:03:23,000
Speaker 1: for the Detroit Lions. Another twelve card game takes place

1280
01:03:23,600 --> 01:03:32,160
Speaker 1: in Nashville, where J. J. Watton DeAndre Hopkins for the Cardinals. Well,

1281
01:03:32,200 --> 01:03:34,400
Speaker 1: they know how to win in Nashville, that's for sure.

1282
01:03:34,720 --> 01:03:38,040
Speaker 1: They take on Tennessee. Now Tennessee is favored by three.

1283
01:03:38,920 --> 01:03:41,120
Speaker 1: These games have been close between the Cardinals and Titans

1284
01:03:41,200 --> 01:03:45,000
Speaker 1: over the years. I think this one is close as well,

1285
01:03:45,280 --> 01:03:47,440
Speaker 1: but I do think it's high scoring. I don't know

1286
01:03:47,480 --> 01:03:51,160
Speaker 1: if I trust either defense, even though you got JJ Baker,

1287
01:03:51,400 --> 01:03:53,960
Speaker 1: Chamber Jones, David Collins. I think the Cardinals defense is

1288
01:03:54,000 --> 01:03:55,840
Speaker 1: a little bit better, but I think the Titans offense

1289
01:03:56,480 --> 01:04:00,400
Speaker 1: is that much more above the Cardinals at this point.

1290
01:04:00,400 --> 01:04:04,560
Speaker 1: I mean, Cardinals will get there, but Titans three point favorite.

1291
01:04:04,840 --> 01:04:07,800
Speaker 1: Let's take them to win and cover like thirty one

1292
01:04:07,960 --> 01:04:09,760
Speaker 1: twenty seven. They're not gonna cover by much, but the

1293
01:04:09,800 --> 01:04:13,600
Speaker 1: Titans will get that win. I mean, I am absolutely

1294
01:04:13,680 --> 01:04:16,760
Speaker 1: glad doubt go Cardinals, go big red, but I think

1295
01:04:16,800 --> 01:04:19,400
Speaker 1: the Titans. Julio Jones will get involved. But A J.

1296
01:04:19,560 --> 01:04:21,720
Speaker 1: Brown is going to be the problem. I think for

1297
01:04:21,920 --> 01:04:24,640
Speaker 1: the Titans, they just cannot I'm sorry for the Cardinals,

1298
01:04:24,680 --> 01:04:28,400
Speaker 1: they just can't match up with him. So let's go

1299
01:04:28,680 --> 01:04:31,280
Speaker 1: Titans to win and cover that three. Another New ball

1300
01:04:31,360 --> 01:04:35,600
Speaker 1: game featuring the NFC South and another Oh I almost

1301
01:04:35,600 --> 01:04:40,280
Speaker 1: said it home favorite, but they're not. This happening at

1302
01:04:40,440 --> 01:04:45,960
Speaker 1: Lucas Oil. The Colts are three point dogs at home

1303
01:04:46,400 --> 01:04:50,520
Speaker 1: to the Seahawks. That's interesting. I don't know that I

1304
01:04:50,720 --> 01:04:53,440
Speaker 1: buy that completely. I'm going Colts to win this now.

1305
01:04:53,480 --> 01:04:54,480
Speaker 1: I know a lot of it has to do with

1306
01:04:54,600 --> 01:04:59,680
Speaker 1: Carson Wentz and what Vegas thinks Carson Wentz is gonna

1307
01:04:59,680 --> 01:05:02,240
Speaker 1: be very is Russell Wilson. But I think playing at home,

1308
01:05:02,520 --> 01:05:04,520
Speaker 1: I think Carson Wentz can rely on that run game.

1309
01:05:04,840 --> 01:05:08,920
Speaker 1: I'm not totally convinced that the Seahawks defense is the

1310
01:05:09,080 --> 01:05:12,440
Speaker 1: unit we've seen. Sure, there's Bobby Wagner and there's Quandary

1311
01:05:12,520 --> 01:05:16,720
Speaker 1: Digs Dway Brown reup with them, Russell Wilson seemingly happy

1312
01:05:16,760 --> 01:05:20,320
Speaker 1: with the Shane Waldron offense. But I just don't think

1313
01:05:20,360 --> 01:05:23,560
Speaker 1: it happens. I think the Colts get the win, even

1314
01:05:23,640 --> 01:05:25,360
Speaker 1: the Seattle gets to win. I think the Colts keep

1315
01:05:25,440 --> 01:05:29,480
Speaker 1: it within three. As tough as that might be. Colts

1316
01:05:29,680 --> 01:05:33,040
Speaker 1: get the win, an upset win at home. Now again,

1317
01:05:33,560 --> 01:05:37,000
Speaker 1: ghost Seahawks. We are all the twelfth Man and cheering

1318
01:05:37,080 --> 01:05:41,040
Speaker 1: for the Arizona Cardinals this week and cheering for the Seahawks.

1319
01:05:41,240 --> 01:05:42,520
Speaker 1: I just don't think it gets done. I think the

1320
01:05:42,560 --> 01:05:46,160
Speaker 1: Colts get a win at home against the Seattle Seahawks.

1321
01:05:46,560 --> 01:05:51,640
Speaker 1: Also in the noon window, the LA super Chargers, led

1322
01:05:51,720 --> 01:05:55,480
Speaker 1: by Justin Herbert taking on it. I think this is

1323
01:05:55,520 --> 01:05:58,080
Speaker 1: one of the more intriguing games this week because it

1324
01:05:58,280 --> 01:06:01,040
Speaker 1: is young herbert second year going against one of the

1325
01:06:01,120 --> 01:06:04,680
Speaker 1: best defenses in the league, led by Chase Young in

1326
01:06:04,760 --> 01:06:08,439
Speaker 1: that defensive front of the Washington football team. Fifty gonna

1327
01:06:08,480 --> 01:06:12,000
Speaker 1: start for the football team. I'm gonna roll here. It's

1328
01:06:12,000 --> 01:06:15,160
Speaker 1: a one point spread. Washington's fair by one. It's basically

1329
01:06:15,160 --> 01:06:17,640
Speaker 1: a pick him. I think Washingtons gonna win this game

1330
01:06:17,720 --> 01:06:19,800
Speaker 1: straight up, and I think by winning its straight up

1331
01:06:19,800 --> 01:06:22,560
Speaker 1: to win by more than one. So Washington's gonna win

1332
01:06:22,640 --> 01:06:25,480
Speaker 1: this game. And I'm not totally sure why. I like

1333
01:06:25,640 --> 01:06:28,760
Speaker 1: Ron Rivere as a coach, but I like the offensive

1334
01:06:28,800 --> 01:06:33,240
Speaker 1: pieces with McLaurin and with Antonio Gibson. Although Kurs Samuel

1335
01:06:33,280 --> 01:06:36,680
Speaker 1: going on IR does not help things. I do think

1336
01:06:36,760 --> 01:06:39,280
Speaker 1: Washington is gonna get after Justin Herbert, and I'm not

1337
01:06:39,480 --> 01:06:44,080
Speaker 1: totally convinced that the Chargers offensive line is all that

1338
01:06:44,160 --> 01:06:46,920
Speaker 1: and a bag of shifts yet. But Ray Shawn Slater

1339
01:06:47,000 --> 01:06:48,880
Speaker 1: and Chase Young, you can go at it. They see

1340
01:06:48,880 --> 01:06:51,400
Speaker 1: each other before. In fact, the game that Slayer had

1341
01:06:51,400 --> 01:06:53,920
Speaker 1: against Young helped make Slater a first round pick. But

1342
01:06:54,080 --> 01:06:56,360
Speaker 1: he's an NFL rookie Chase Young going the second year.

1343
01:06:56,720 --> 01:06:58,560
Speaker 1: We'll see what that battle turns into. But I think

1344
01:06:58,600 --> 01:07:01,120
Speaker 1: Fitz He's gonna do enough to get this win. So

1345
01:07:01,360 --> 01:07:04,120
Speaker 1: go Washington to win and to cover that one point

1346
01:07:04,240 --> 01:07:09,960
Speaker 1: spread at noon in Washington, all right to Sam Donald

1347
01:07:10,040 --> 01:07:14,920
Speaker 1: Boll takes place in Charlotte, where the Carolina Panthers are

1348
01:07:14,960 --> 01:07:18,880
Speaker 1: four point favorites over the New York Jets, led by

1349
01:07:19,120 --> 01:07:22,240
Speaker 1: rookie Zach Wilson. A lot of good buzz coming from

1350
01:07:22,360 --> 01:07:28,280
Speaker 1: Zach Wilson this offseason as he takes over as the

1351
01:07:28,360 --> 01:07:31,520
Speaker 1: starter for the New York Jets. Sam Donald moved on

1352
01:07:31,680 --> 01:07:36,120
Speaker 1: to the Panthers so that the Jets could draft Zach Wilson.

1353
01:07:37,040 --> 01:07:38,960
Speaker 1: I don't know exactly what Donald's going to do, but

1354
01:07:39,000 --> 01:07:41,960
Speaker 1: I trust him a little bit more. With Joe Brady

1355
01:07:42,080 --> 01:07:44,680
Speaker 1: in Carolina, I'm gonna go with Carolina to win and

1356
01:07:44,880 --> 01:07:48,520
Speaker 1: to cover. Look, anytime NFC plays AFC, I am all

1357
01:07:48,560 --> 01:07:51,520
Speaker 1: about the NFC, So I'm going NFC Panthers to win

1358
01:07:51,600 --> 01:07:54,560
Speaker 1: and to cover that four. Good luck to Zach Wilson

1359
01:07:55,280 --> 01:07:56,840
Speaker 1: and we'll see what he turns into. I know fans

1360
01:07:56,880 --> 01:07:59,560
Speaker 1: were very excited Jack's Texans. Jackson will still a three

1361
01:07:59,600 --> 01:08:02,040
Speaker 1: point favorite, but I don't go to my heart my head,

1362
01:08:02,080 --> 01:08:04,360
Speaker 1: so you know I don't pick that game. Browns Chiefs.

1363
01:08:04,440 --> 01:08:06,520
Speaker 1: As we go into the afternoon window of the Chiefs

1364
01:08:06,840 --> 01:08:09,000
Speaker 1: are a five and a half point favorite against the Browns.

1365
01:08:09,040 --> 01:08:11,040
Speaker 1: Looks like Giudinia Clowning will play. I don't know if

1366
01:08:11,080 --> 01:08:15,280
Speaker 1: that makes a huge, huge difference, because then Kansas City

1367
01:08:15,360 --> 01:08:18,400
Speaker 1: comes out of the gates very high, and the Kansas

1368
01:08:18,439 --> 01:08:20,360
Speaker 1: City will come out of the gate very hot again.

1369
01:08:20,600 --> 01:08:23,960
Speaker 1: They will beat the Browns. Buy a touchdown. Let's go

1370
01:08:24,160 --> 01:08:26,120
Speaker 1: thirty eight thirty one. I don't know if the chief

1371
01:08:26,200 --> 01:08:28,400
Speaker 1: defense is gonna be at one hundred percent. Tyron Matthew

1372
01:08:28,520 --> 01:08:30,600
Speaker 1: was on the COVID list. I think Frank Clark is

1373
01:08:30,640 --> 01:08:32,439
Speaker 1: dealing with some stuff as well, So I think the

1374
01:08:32,520 --> 01:08:35,439
Speaker 1: Browns are gonna get some The Chiefs are gonna get more.

1375
01:08:35,840 --> 01:08:38,200
Speaker 1: Chiefs thirty eight Browns thirty one. That's covering a win

1376
01:08:38,360 --> 01:08:43,720
Speaker 1: for the Kansas City. The Dolphins go to the Patriots.

1377
01:08:44,360 --> 01:08:48,120
Speaker 1: It's a battle of the twenty seventeen recruiting class at

1378
01:08:48,160 --> 01:08:53,240
Speaker 1: Alabama for the Dolphins to a Tungavalla out of Hawaii

1379
01:08:53,600 --> 01:08:56,479
Speaker 1: for the Patriots. Mac Jones the rookie out of the

1380
01:08:56,560 --> 01:08:59,760
Speaker 1: Bowl school Jacksonville, Florida, and only was favored by three.

1381
01:09:00,800 --> 01:09:02,920
Speaker 1: And I think Matt Jones will do a few good things.

1382
01:09:03,000 --> 01:09:05,559
Speaker 1: But this one's gonna be about the New England defense.

1383
01:09:05,760 --> 01:09:08,479
Speaker 1: They get a lot of guys back from last year.

1384
01:09:08,840 --> 01:09:11,840
Speaker 1: I think this defense could be stout. You add Matt

1385
01:09:11,920 --> 01:09:16,639
Speaker 1: Judon still got Lawrence Guy Donte Hytower comes back. Don't

1386
01:09:16,680 --> 01:09:18,760
Speaker 1: know exactly what's the fund Gilmore is gonna be able

1387
01:09:18,800 --> 01:09:20,880
Speaker 1: to do health wise. I don't care. I'm gonna go

1388
01:09:20,880 --> 01:09:22,720
Speaker 1: with the Patriots defense and playing at home at a

1389
01:09:22,880 --> 01:09:27,240
Speaker 1: very low scoring game. Give Belichick and Matt Jones the

1390
01:09:27,400 --> 01:09:30,519
Speaker 1: win and the cover of that three point spread. Then

1391
01:09:30,600 --> 01:09:33,400
Speaker 1: in Jacksonville in an afternoon window, and I'm telling you,

1392
01:09:33,720 --> 01:09:40,240
Speaker 1: in Jacksonville, it's gonna be steamy. But Jameis Winston takes

1393
01:09:40,280 --> 01:09:43,200
Speaker 1: over as Saints QB one, taking on Aaron Rodgers, who's

1394
01:09:43,200 --> 01:09:46,280
Speaker 1: still KIV one in green Bay. Green Bay's favorite about

1395
01:09:46,320 --> 01:09:49,160
Speaker 1: three and a half, and this one is sort of perplexing.

1396
01:09:49,720 --> 01:09:51,640
Speaker 1: I not totally sure how I want to roll with this.

1397
01:09:51,720 --> 01:09:53,760
Speaker 1: I don't love the three and a half. I do

1398
01:09:54,000 --> 01:09:55,600
Speaker 1: think green Bay wins, but I think this is a

1399
01:09:55,680 --> 01:09:57,760
Speaker 1: three point game. I think he just twenty seven, twenty four,

1400
01:09:58,560 --> 01:10:02,000
Speaker 1: twenty one. I just think Winston's gonna make a mistake

1401
01:10:02,240 --> 01:10:04,000
Speaker 1: and that's gonna be the key. So let's give the

1402
01:10:04,120 --> 01:10:07,639
Speaker 1: Packers to win outright, win, Let's give the Saints to cover.

1403
01:10:07,720 --> 01:10:09,400
Speaker 1: I think the Saints are gonna get within that three

1404
01:10:09,439 --> 01:10:11,559
Speaker 1: and a half, a three point game, as I think

1405
01:10:11,600 --> 01:10:13,960
Speaker 1: so Let's go Packers to win, Saints to cover in

1406
01:10:14,520 --> 01:10:20,360
Speaker 1: Duvoh County. All right, another afternoon game. Broncos be Giants,

1407
01:10:20,840 --> 01:10:26,400
Speaker 1: Teddy Bridgewater versus Eli. Wait, no, no, let's see it

1408
01:10:26,680 --> 01:10:29,000
Speaker 1: used to be Paint Manning versus Eli Manning. This is

1409
01:10:29,040 --> 01:10:33,439
Speaker 1: gonna be Teddy Bridgewater versus Daniel Jones. Get excited. Denver's

1410
01:10:33,479 --> 01:10:37,360
Speaker 1: a three point favorite in New York. I'm not sure

1411
01:10:37,400 --> 01:10:41,160
Speaker 1: I'm totally buying that, but I think Broncos have a

1412
01:10:41,200 --> 01:10:44,719
Speaker 1: little bit better defense. Teddy won't make mistakes. They're gonna

1413
01:10:44,720 --> 01:10:48,200
Speaker 1: win this thing like fourteen ten. Let's go Broncos to

1414
01:10:49,800 --> 01:10:52,840
Speaker 1: win on the road. Gosh, I don't know if I

1415
01:10:52,880 --> 01:10:55,120
Speaker 1: feel good about that. You know what flipped that Giants

1416
01:10:55,160 --> 01:10:58,120
Speaker 1: to upset winning cover? How about that? Daniel Jones? Go

1417
01:10:58,240 --> 01:11:00,560
Speaker 1: get it done. Your Sunday night game takes place in

1418
01:11:00,640 --> 01:11:03,360
Speaker 1: so Fi Stadium, the Bears taking on the Rams. Andy

1419
01:11:03,439 --> 01:11:05,240
Speaker 1: Dalton has no shot. The Rams are seven and a

1420
01:11:05,240 --> 01:11:07,680
Speaker 1: half point favorites. They will cover that. They're gonna beat

1421
01:11:07,680 --> 01:11:09,639
Speaker 1: the Rams by a couple of touchdowns, and I think

1422
01:11:09,680 --> 01:11:13,120
Speaker 1: that defense for the Rams coach by Raheem Morris, I

1423
01:11:13,280 --> 01:11:17,880
Speaker 1: think gets a score and I think they win by

1424
01:11:18,280 --> 01:11:22,720
Speaker 1: at least two touchdowns. Monday Night Ravens, the Raiders or

1425
01:11:22,760 --> 01:11:24,680
Speaker 1: the Ravens. I don't even know who's gonna end up

1426
01:11:24,720 --> 01:11:27,479
Speaker 1: playing running back, and they're playing an allegian stadium out

1427
01:11:27,560 --> 01:11:29,920
Speaker 1: Las Vegas. I'm gonna go with the Raiders in an upset.

1428
01:11:30,080 --> 01:11:33,720
Speaker 1: Baltimore's favored by four. Let's fire the Raiders to win,

1429
01:11:33,920 --> 01:11:36,960
Speaker 1: and obviously by winning the covers so they could still

1430
01:11:37,000 --> 01:11:39,080
Speaker 1: cover with the Ravens narrow win. I just don't know

1431
01:11:39,080 --> 01:11:42,240
Speaker 1: who's gonna run the ball for the Ravens except for

1432
01:11:42,400 --> 01:11:46,400
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson. Other than that, let's go Raiders. Upset Monday

1433
01:11:46,439 --> 01:11:49,240
Speaker 1: Night Football. Why not? It's getting nutty speaking and getting nuty.

1434
01:11:49,240 --> 01:11:53,120
Speaker 1: We're gonna get nutty with Tyrod Taylor Andrew Doherty next

1435
01:11:53,200 --> 01:11:55,920
Speaker 1: right here in Texans All Access. Karon, Texans All Access,

1436
01:11:56,240 --> 01:11:59,960
Speaker 1: Karon Texans All Yes, sir, We've got one final segment

1437
01:12:00,160 --> 01:12:03,599
Speaker 1: to this edition of Texans All Access. I'm your host,

1438
01:12:03,760 --> 01:12:06,720
Speaker 1: John Harris, Football and aff Sada reporter had been so

1439
01:12:06,960 --> 01:12:10,479
Speaker 1: lucky and happy to be with you this evening as

1440
01:12:10,560 --> 01:12:14,280
Speaker 1: we get ready for Jags v. Texans Week one, twenty

1441
01:12:14,400 --> 01:12:17,840
Speaker 1: twenty one. And there's been I think a lot of

1442
01:12:17,920 --> 01:12:20,320
Speaker 1: questions and thoughts of what this team is going to

1443
01:12:20,400 --> 01:12:22,479
Speaker 1: look like, what both teams will look like. I think

1444
01:12:22,520 --> 01:12:25,960
Speaker 1: the Jags we kind of know it'll just look like

1445
01:12:26,080 --> 01:12:27,880
Speaker 1: it's looked like the last couple of years. But with

1446
01:12:28,000 --> 01:12:30,560
Speaker 1: a competent quarterback, that being Trevor Lawrence now will be

1447
01:12:30,640 --> 01:12:33,479
Speaker 1: competent in Week one. Hopefully not hopefully he doesn't start

1448
01:12:33,560 --> 01:12:35,800
Speaker 1: getting it until after this game, but Trevor Lawrence is

1449
01:12:35,880 --> 01:12:39,759
Speaker 1: gonna make a significant difference for that organization. For the Texans,

1450
01:12:39,880 --> 01:12:42,839
Speaker 1: there's so many new players you're looking at an offensive

1451
01:12:42,920 --> 01:12:50,040
Speaker 1: line that you're gonna have one player potentially in the

1452
01:12:50,160 --> 01:12:51,920
Speaker 1: same spot he was gonn last year. That was Laramie

1453
01:12:51,960 --> 01:12:53,920
Speaker 1: Tounsil Titus Howard played in the line last year. Because

1454
01:12:53,960 --> 01:12:55,959
Speaker 1: the right tackle now I moves the left guard. Potentially

1455
01:12:56,080 --> 01:12:58,680
Speaker 1: Justin Brits new to the team, Max Sharping, when he

1456
01:12:58,720 --> 01:13:01,760
Speaker 1: did start last year, started guard. Now he's potentially in

1457
01:13:01,880 --> 01:13:05,080
Speaker 1: the game at right guard. Right tackle could be Marcus Cannon,

1458
01:13:05,120 --> 01:13:07,400
Speaker 1: he didn't play football last year in twenty twenty. He

1459
01:13:07,479 --> 01:13:10,400
Speaker 1: last played for the Dongland Patriots. You could have Jaron

1460
01:13:10,520 --> 01:13:12,720
Speaker 1: Christian who last played for the Washington football team. This

1461
01:13:12,800 --> 01:13:14,599
Speaker 1: offense a line you have no idea what it's really

1462
01:13:14,640 --> 01:13:17,320
Speaker 1: gonna look like, although when everybody's healthy, I think it

1463
01:13:17,360 --> 01:13:20,719
Speaker 1: could look pretty good. Running backs mark ingram filled place.

1464
01:13:20,800 --> 01:13:22,519
Speaker 1: I mean, there's so much new. We've gone through that

1465
01:13:22,760 --> 01:13:28,320
Speaker 1: many many times, including a new piece at quarterback. Now,

1466
01:13:28,439 --> 01:13:32,160
Speaker 1: when we close down the show each and every Friday,

1467
01:13:32,640 --> 01:13:36,120
Speaker 1: I always give the final word to Drew Doherty. Well,

1468
01:13:36,280 --> 01:13:39,040
Speaker 1: we're gonna double dip this week. We're gonna get a

1469
01:13:39,120 --> 01:13:44,639
Speaker 1: little bit of Drew's dozen with Tyrod Taylor. Then we're

1470
01:13:44,680 --> 01:13:49,880
Speaker 1: gonna get our pregame interview with Drew, the final word

1471
01:13:50,000 --> 01:13:54,760
Speaker 1: with Tyrod Taylor. So you're gonna get the left brain,

1472
01:13:55,240 --> 01:13:58,240
Speaker 1: then you're gonna get the right brain. So have a

1473
01:13:58,280 --> 01:14:00,560
Speaker 1: little bit of fun and get a little nut and

1474
01:14:00,640 --> 01:14:02,920
Speaker 1: then you're gonna get down into the details of the

1475
01:14:03,040 --> 01:14:06,639
Speaker 1: game with Drew and Tyrod. So let's get nutty. Let's

1476
01:14:06,640 --> 01:14:09,679
Speaker 1: do a little Drew's doesn't with Tyrod Taylor. Tyrod Taylor

1477
01:14:10,000 --> 01:14:12,160
Speaker 1: quarterback for the Houston Texans. You're ready to get weird

1478
01:14:12,520 --> 01:14:15,680
Speaker 1: for sure? All Right, favorite movie or TV show when

1479

1486
01:14:40,640 --> 01:14:43,280
Speaker 1: You have those guys. That's good. I like that. That'll work.

1487
01:14:43,400 --> 01:14:48,920
Speaker 1: What's the best purchase you've ever made? Probably my house? Yeah? Yeah, yeah,

1488
01:14:48,960 --> 01:14:51,759
Speaker 1: I love my house. And it happened right before pandemic,

1489
01:14:51,840 --> 01:14:54,559
Speaker 1: so I was able to enjoy it when we went

1490
01:14:54,640 --> 01:14:57,640
Speaker 1: on lockdown. Unfortunately we was on lockdown, but I was

1491
01:14:57,680 --> 01:14:59,720
Speaker 1: like the time, I was able to enjoy it. Yeah,

1492
01:14:59,760 --> 01:15:01,880
Speaker 1: you at it at the right time. What nicknames do

1493
01:15:02,000 --> 01:15:05,960
Speaker 1: you have? Hot Rode, black tie? My dad calls me bup.

1494
01:15:06,360 --> 01:15:08,360
Speaker 1: Was it? What's upped? When you see him? You got

1495
01:15:08,439 --> 01:15:10,439
Speaker 1: to ask him. I don't know, I just heard it

1496
01:15:10,720 --> 01:15:13,040
Speaker 1: growing up as a kid. Any of those your favorite?

1497
01:15:13,200 --> 01:15:15,280
Speaker 1: Oh my dad is the only one that caused me pup? Yeah?

1498
01:15:15,320 --> 01:15:20,360
Speaker 1: Maybe just t It's kind of plain, but I prefer

1499
01:15:20,479 --> 01:15:23,200
Speaker 1: that then trying to say Tyrode and say Tyrode and

1500
01:15:23,280 --> 01:15:25,400
Speaker 1: then it just I won't bother you with that. You've

1501
01:15:25,439 --> 01:15:28,360
Speaker 1: been bothered with that, but the differences in the pronunciations

1502
01:15:29,360 --> 01:15:31,479
Speaker 1: all July in August. So we'll we'll go around that

1503
01:15:31,600 --> 01:15:34,040
Speaker 1: one and won't even bother with it. What is your

1504
01:15:34,120 --> 01:15:37,920
Speaker 1: go to meal or dish when you have to cook it?

1505
01:15:38,240 --> 01:15:41,439
Speaker 1: It's the best thing you cook? Sea bass, Brussels sprouts,

1506
01:15:41,600 --> 01:15:44,639
Speaker 1: and super potatoes. How do you prepare the Brussels sprouts?

1507
01:15:44,920 --> 01:15:47,840
Speaker 1: At first I cook him in the oven, and then

1508
01:15:47,920 --> 01:15:50,840
Speaker 1: I finished him on his skillet to get some char, right, Yeah,

1509
01:15:50,880 --> 01:15:52,760
Speaker 1: because they're always better with some carbon on it and

1510
01:15:52,920 --> 01:15:56,200
Speaker 1: honey on top. When it's the skillet that sounds really good.

1511
01:15:56,240 --> 01:15:58,760
Speaker 1: I like that sea bass. It's it's a different one.

1512
01:15:58,760 --> 01:16:00,400
Speaker 1: I've heard a lot of times I get screw able eggs.

1513
01:16:00,400 --> 01:16:03,280
Speaker 1: When I asked this question, So your your advanced tyroder

1514

Speaker 1: me twenty years ago? Who is your favorite teacher growing up?

1515
01:16:08,720 --> 01:16:11,320

Speaker 1: teach you? And when was she teach teaching Armstrong Elementary

1519
01:16:19,560 --> 01:16:22,439
Speaker 1: School fifth grade? Man, Miss Clark, I don't want to

1520
01:16:22,479 --> 01:16:25,160
Speaker 1: miss up her class, but I just remember she was

1521
01:16:25,200 --> 01:16:27,479
Speaker 1: a great teacher. I don't want to say the classmen

1522
01:16:27,640 --> 01:16:30,519
Speaker 1: is a wrong class, but I remember she was just

1523
01:16:30,600 --> 01:16:32,479
Speaker 1: a great teacher. She was just great with every all

1524
01:16:32,520 --> 01:16:35,320
Speaker 1: the kiss in the class. How she took command of

1525
01:16:35,360 --> 01:16:37,559
Speaker 1: the class. And I want to say that with social studies,

1526
01:16:37,600 --> 01:16:40,000
Speaker 1: but I could be wrong. Don't miss Clark, Please don't

1527
01:16:40,160 --> 01:16:43,880
Speaker 1: kill me. Well, missus Clark, congratulations you're Tyrode's favorite. That's

1528
01:16:43,880 --> 01:16:46,040
Speaker 1: a good one. If you could find out the truth

1529
01:16:46,320 --> 01:16:51,320

1534
01:17:04,680 --> 01:17:07,720
Speaker 1: heard different things. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's probably interesting. I

1535
01:17:07,840 --> 01:17:10,160
Speaker 1: like it could be the murder mystery of all time something.

1536

1540
01:17:22,560 --> 01:17:24,560
Speaker 1: It's just that it's the soundtrack doesn't always have to

1541
01:17:24,600 --> 01:17:27,080
Speaker 1: be about knock life. Jaz Okay, that's a good one.

1549
01:17:48,439 --> 01:17:51,040
Speaker 1: I guess it. I mean, obviously you think you're working

1550
01:17:51,160 --> 01:17:54,320
Speaker 1: just your legs, but it's more of a total body exercise.

1551
01:17:54,680 --> 01:17:57,519
Speaker 1: Just gets everything engaged and feel good at the squats.

1553
01:18:00,680 --> 01:18:03,240
Speaker 1: Who's the first person you talk with other than a

1554
01:18:03,280 --> 01:18:06,840
Speaker 1: teammate or a coach after a football game. It depends

1555
01:18:06,840 --> 01:18:09,280

1559
01:18:18,760 --> 01:18:22,120
Speaker 1: I mean, some people's grandmothers or mothers are tough on them.

Speaker 1: Some people or you know, how does it work with her? Now?

Speaker 1: grandmother grandma? Taylor? First thing you do when you wake

1565
01:18:33,720 --> 01:18:36,720
Speaker 1: up in the morning is what's the last thing you

1566
01:18:36,800 --> 01:18:38,840
Speaker 1: do before you turn off the lights at night when

1567
01:18:38,880 --> 01:18:40,960
Speaker 1: you go to bed? The last thing I do before

1568
01:18:41,000 --> 01:18:43,439
Speaker 1: I turn off the lights, Yeah, brush my teeth. Brush

1569
01:18:43,439 --> 01:18:47,559
Speaker 1: your teeth. Waffles or pancakes? Pancakes? I absolutely love Tyrod Taylor.

1570
01:18:47,640 --> 01:18:50,120
Speaker 1: I don't know if I would say pancakes or waffles, though,

1571
01:18:51,120 --> 01:18:54,040
Speaker 1: I mean I'm more a waffle guy. I am more

1572
01:18:54,400 --> 01:18:56,519
Speaker 1: of a unique waffle guy. Let me give you a

1573
01:18:56,520 --> 01:18:58,680
Speaker 1: little waffle idea I tried the other day and I

1574
01:18:58,840 --> 01:19:02,439
Speaker 1: almost have it down. Experimenting with this. My wife and

1575
01:19:02,520 --> 01:19:06,559
Speaker 1: daughter had been in LA because I can. I've put

1576
01:19:06,720 --> 01:19:11,680
Speaker 1: hash browns hash browns mixed with cheese and made that

1577
01:19:12,080 --> 01:19:15,200
Speaker 1: like a hash brown like a waffle, and then you

1578
01:19:15,280 --> 01:19:18,080
Speaker 1: can make sandwiches out of them. I'm almost there. I've

1579
01:19:18,080 --> 01:19:22,479
Speaker 1: almost perfected it to make like a waffle sandwich, like

1580
01:19:22,560 --> 01:19:25,679
Speaker 1: a waffle breakfast sandwich, and the bun ends up being

1581
01:19:25,840 --> 01:19:30,240
Speaker 1: my cheese potato waffle mixture and inside thinking like maybe

1582
01:19:30,240 --> 01:19:32,439
Speaker 1: I don't know, a sausage with an egg that could

1583
01:19:32,439 --> 01:19:35,479
Speaker 1: be pretty good. I'm out there, might put vegetables on it.

1584
01:19:35,560 --> 01:19:38,600
Speaker 1: But either way, I'm rolling waffles. That's just me. But

1585
01:19:38,880 --> 01:19:41,920
Speaker 1: you know what, waffles, pancakes. I'm cool either way. So

1586
01:19:42,479 --> 01:19:44,679
Speaker 1: that was the left brain. That was That was fun.

1587
01:19:44,800 --> 01:19:47,920
Speaker 1: It was getting the opportunity to meet Tyrod Taylor. Now

1588
01:19:47,960 --> 01:19:50,519
Speaker 1: let's jump into the football side of things and our

1589
01:19:50,560 --> 01:19:54,680
Speaker 1: final word with Drew Doherty. It is Tyrod Taylor. The

1590
01:19:54,920 --> 01:19:57,240
Speaker 1: game is upon us. We've been saying it for a

1591
01:19:57,360 --> 01:20:00,519
Speaker 1: while now. You know, you take these these steps. You've

1592
01:20:00,520 --> 01:20:02,280
Speaker 1: got OTAs and you've got training camp, and you've got

1593
01:20:02,320 --> 01:20:05,120
Speaker 1: the preseason. But now the regular season is here. How

1594
01:20:05,200 --> 01:20:07,080
Speaker 1: ready do you feel? How ready do you think this

1595
01:20:07,240 --> 01:20:10,679
Speaker 1: offense is? I feel ready physically. Obviously Sunday will be ready.

1596
01:20:10,760 --> 01:20:13,519
Speaker 1: I'll be ready physically, mentally excited to see the guys

1597
01:20:13,560 --> 01:20:15,840
Speaker 1: go out and compete at a high level, no doubt. Now,

1598
01:20:15,880 --> 01:20:18,240
Speaker 1: you're always a calm guy, it seems. Do you ever

1599
01:20:18,360 --> 01:20:20,800
Speaker 1: get any butterflies at all? Is there any bit of

1600
01:20:20,920 --> 01:20:24,760
Speaker 1: nervousness once game day comes around? No? I wouldn't say,

1601
01:20:25,200 --> 01:20:28,320
Speaker 1: maybe like right before kickoff. It's just yeah, yeah, I

1602
01:20:28,360 --> 01:20:30,800
Speaker 1: guess you could call it butterflies. But it's been like

1603
01:20:30,920 --> 01:20:33,040
Speaker 1: that since directly, so I don't even like pay it

1604
01:20:33,080 --> 01:20:35,320
Speaker 1: any mind. And then it just fades away, like as

1605
01:20:35,320 --> 01:20:38,000
Speaker 1: a kickoff happens. But yeah, is there something that caused

1606
01:20:38,080 --> 01:20:41,160
Speaker 1: that extra calmness? Is it just who you've always been?

1607
01:20:41,320 --> 01:20:43,599
Speaker 1: Is it? Yeah? I think it's just who I've always been.

1608
01:20:43,760 --> 01:20:45,240
Speaker 1: Maybe I get it from my mom. Now A lot

1609
01:20:45,280 --> 01:20:47,040
Speaker 1: of people say that we kind of act like but yeah,

1610
01:20:47,200 --> 01:20:49,320
Speaker 1: all right, so your mom is a nice calm lady.

1611
01:20:49,360 --> 01:20:51,720
Speaker 1: That's good to hear. Okay, You've got an interesting set

1612
01:20:51,760 --> 01:20:54,800
Speaker 1: of receivers and tight ends and running backs to throw too,

1613
01:20:54,960 --> 01:20:57,599
Speaker 1: to work with. How excited does that get you? Seeing

1614
01:20:57,680 --> 01:21:00,560
Speaker 1: who you have out their weapons? Wise? Very we have

1615
01:21:00,680 --> 01:21:03,719
Speaker 1: weapons at all the positions, tight ends, running back group,

1616
01:21:04,080 --> 01:21:07,920
Speaker 1: receiver group. Even adding Danny, it's big for us. It's

1617
01:21:07,920 --> 01:21:10,759
Speaker 1: big for our offense, and he brings a veteran leadership

1618
01:21:10,920 --> 01:21:13,599
Speaker 1: to the wide receiver room along with Cookie. Yeah, I'm

1619
01:21:13,640 --> 01:21:15,760
Speaker 1: excited to play with these guys first time. We'll be

1620
01:21:15,840 --> 01:21:18,240
Speaker 1: able to spend an extended amount of time on the

1621
01:21:18,320 --> 01:21:21,160
Speaker 1: field other than like preseason and training camp. But we've

1622
01:21:21,160 --> 01:21:23,120
Speaker 1: put in a lot of work. There's offseason and training

1623
01:21:23,200 --> 01:21:25,439
Speaker 1: camp as well too, and looking forward to the live

1624
01:21:25,520 --> 01:21:27,560
Speaker 1: bullets on the Sunday. You've been in the league for

1625
01:21:27,560 --> 01:21:29,639
Speaker 1: at least a decade, he has as well, talking about

1626
01:21:29,640 --> 01:21:32,080
Speaker 1: Amidul and Marcus Cannon is another guy who's got double

1627
01:21:32,200 --> 01:21:35,400
Speaker 1: digit years in the league Ingram as well. That says

1628
01:21:35,439 --> 01:21:38,439
Speaker 1: a lot about being able to persevere and stick around.

1629
01:21:38,800 --> 01:21:40,880
Speaker 1: How important is that not just for him, not just

1630
01:21:40,960 --> 01:21:42,240
Speaker 1: for you, but for all of you guys, And what's

1631
01:21:42,240 --> 01:21:44,240
Speaker 1: that mean to this team? It means a lot to

1632
01:21:44,439 --> 01:21:46,240
Speaker 1: us individually, and I think it means a lot to

1633
01:21:46,320 --> 01:21:48,840
Speaker 1: the team as well too. For sure, you can share

1634
01:21:48,880 --> 01:21:51,360
Speaker 1: those experiences with the younger guys, lead the way for

1635
01:21:51,439 --> 01:21:53,400
Speaker 1: those guys as well too. But I think from a

1636
01:21:53,479 --> 01:21:56,040
Speaker 1: personal standpoint, all the guys that you've named have been

1637
01:21:56,120 --> 01:21:58,320
Speaker 1: through things and they've handled it the right way and

1638
01:21:58,400 --> 01:22:00,639
Speaker 1: had an opportunity to come out on the other side.

1639
01:22:00,680 --> 01:22:03,200
Speaker 1: And I have our opportunity to continue to keep further

1640
01:22:03,200 --> 01:22:05,519
Speaker 1: in their career and playing at a high level this year.

1641
01:22:05,640 --> 01:22:08,600
Speaker 1: And I think it means a lot to us individually

1642
01:22:08,680 --> 01:22:11,040
Speaker 1: for sure, but like you said, um, it means a

1643
01:22:11,080 --> 01:22:13,040
Speaker 1: lot for the team as well. To tell me about

1644
01:22:13,040 --> 01:22:15,000
Speaker 1: this Jaguars front. What stands out to you when you

1645
01:22:15,080 --> 01:22:17,800
Speaker 1: look at it on tape? Very fast front, physical as well.

1646
01:22:17,960 --> 01:22:20,439
Speaker 1: Of course we know Holland he's played at a high

1647
01:22:20,479 --> 01:22:23,439
Speaker 1: level throughout this time in Jacksonville as well. Let's jack

1648
01:22:23,560 --> 01:22:25,840
Speaker 1: back end, not at the back end, but backers played

1649
01:22:25,840 --> 01:22:27,880
Speaker 1: at a high level as well too. I've actually played

1650
01:22:27,920 --> 01:22:31,000
Speaker 1: with Rayshawn Jenkins last two years of the Chargers. Very

1651
01:22:31,040 --> 01:22:33,639
Speaker 1: fast guy. I mean, they have a talented defense overall,

1652
01:22:33,720 --> 01:22:36,799
Speaker 1: and we have to execute in all PHAs, especially in offense,

1653
01:22:37,160 --> 01:22:39,960
Speaker 1: to be able to do things that we need to

1654
01:22:40,000 --> 01:22:42,040
Speaker 1: do to win. You talk about it. Everyone's talking about

1655
01:22:42,280 --> 01:22:44,479
Speaker 1: the ability to run the ball, the wanting to run

1656
01:22:44,560 --> 01:22:47,040
Speaker 1: the ball. How much of a key is that this weekend?

1657
01:22:47,320 --> 01:22:49,000
Speaker 1: It's a big part of our game a weekend, a

1658
01:22:49,080 --> 01:22:52,400
Speaker 1: week out. But definitely with the physical group that Jacksonville has,

1659
01:22:52,520 --> 01:22:55,040
Speaker 1: you definitely have to show your physicality early on in

1660
01:22:55,120 --> 01:22:57,200
Speaker 1: the game, and using the run game is it's the

1661
01:22:57,240 --> 01:22:58,760
Speaker 1: best way to do that. All right, let's see how

1662
01:22:58,760 --> 01:23:02,240
Speaker 1: your powering game day? Do you have any game day superstitions?

1663
01:23:02,280 --> 01:23:05,160
Speaker 1: I mean, you're as cool and calm as the other

1664
01:23:05,240 --> 01:23:07,760
Speaker 1: side of the pillow, but do you have any superstitions,

1665
01:23:07,800 --> 01:23:13,040
Speaker 1: Tyrod Taylor, Nah, I don't superstitions. So tell me about music.

1666
01:23:13,160 --> 01:23:15,439
Speaker 1: Do you listen to any music on game y'all listen

1667
01:23:15,479 --> 01:23:20,080
Speaker 1: to music as a combination, some rap, mostly R and B. Okay, yeah,

1668
01:23:20,080 --> 01:23:22,519
Speaker 1: I'm kind of I mean, we have an awesome system

1669
01:23:22,560 --> 01:23:24,960
Speaker 1: in the locker room guys playing music, so it's kind

1670
01:23:24,960 --> 01:23:26,800
Speaker 1: of allows if you have your own music. It's kind

1671
01:23:26,840 --> 01:23:29,080
Speaker 1: of tough to hear you have music with that. So

1672
01:23:29,760 --> 01:23:31,600
Speaker 1: what didn't like? Like, I just listen to what what

1673
01:23:31,760 --> 01:23:33,640
Speaker 1: did you guys playing the locker room? Whatever's going on?

1674
01:23:33,760 --> 01:23:36,760
Speaker 1: That's good, a combination of everything. Because Laramy Tunsil, I

1675
01:23:36,800 --> 01:23:38,600
Speaker 1: don't know if you know this, he plays shot a

1676
01:23:38,920 --> 01:23:40,760
Speaker 1: game day to get ready. He says he has to

1677
01:23:40,800 --> 01:23:43,200
Speaker 1: stay calm and cool. Is that I prospect that? Like

1678
01:23:43,280 --> 01:23:44,760
Speaker 1: I said, I listen to more R and B than

1679
01:23:44,840 --> 01:23:47,439
Speaker 1: I do rap on game days just in general. But

1680
01:23:47,520 --> 01:23:50,400
Speaker 1: I wouldn't say as a superstition. No, be all over

1681
01:23:50,479 --> 01:23:52,760
Speaker 1: with music sometimes maybe on the ride and a little

1682
01:23:52,800 --> 01:23:55,960
Speaker 1: different from actual locker room playing. Listen is a little different.

1683
01:23:55,960 --> 01:23:58,840
Speaker 1: How about a neon kickoff? What are you eating before

1684
01:23:58,880 --> 01:24:00,840
Speaker 1: the game and when do you eat it? Yeah, that's

1685
01:24:01,000 --> 01:24:03,240
Speaker 1: that's a little different. I probably eat around eight. Just

1686
01:24:03,320 --> 01:24:06,479
Speaker 1: eat a big breakfast, not really a big lunch guy

1687
01:24:06,560 --> 01:24:08,560
Speaker 1: before the game. Yeah. And even in the preseason with

1688
01:24:08,600 --> 01:24:10,479
Speaker 1: those late games, I didn't eat a whole bunch before

1689
01:24:10,680 --> 01:24:13,840
Speaker 1: before they came. Just a big breakfast it up. Yeah,

1690
01:24:14,040 --> 01:24:16,919
Speaker 1: I mean, well, definitely oatmeal like but a loaded oatmeal

1691
01:24:17,040 --> 01:24:20,840
Speaker 1: like blueberries, almond butter, wal nuts, sent a man, honey,

1692
01:24:20,880 --> 01:24:24,720
Speaker 1: it's probably some pancakes and waff of us. Yeah. Man,

1693
01:24:24,800 --> 01:24:28,040
Speaker 1: those two are making me hungry. Good grief, I gotta

1694
01:24:28,080 --> 01:24:29,800
Speaker 1: have some dinner here with my son a little bit,

1695
