1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:04,480
Speaker 1: Hello Texans, Welcome to the program. Mark VanderMeer, John Harris

2
00:00:04,519 --> 00:00:07,120
Speaker 1: with you. Coming off the fields of the Houston Methodist

3
00:00:07,160 --> 00:00:10,000
Speaker 1: Training Center where the Texans had a joint practice with

4
00:00:10,119 --> 00:00:13,440
Speaker 1: the Carolina Panthers. And it was so lovely out, just

5
00:00:13,560 --> 00:00:15,960
Speaker 1: a great weather, greenbriar type date.

6
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:19,040
Speaker 2: No, it wasn't. It was hotter than the surface of the.

7
00:00:18,840 --> 00:00:23,239
Speaker 1: Sun today as the Texans and Panthers engaged in football activities.

8
00:00:23,239 --> 00:00:26,920
Speaker 2: But it was great to watch another team on the field.

9
00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:29,560
Speaker 1: And it's kind of freaky, Johnny, when you see other

10
00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:31,360
Speaker 1: uniforms on your practice field.

11
00:00:31,360 --> 00:00:34,559
Speaker 2: I love what nd Kalou told us the other day, which.

12
00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:37,479
Speaker 1: Was it's one thing when they're on your game field,

13
00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:39,920
Speaker 1: you kind of expect that. When they're on your practice field,

14
00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:43,760
Speaker 1: you want to defend your turf. You want to get

15
00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:46,520
Speaker 1: that edge, get them off of your home field.

16
00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:49,559
Speaker 2: This is where you live every day. There's something special

17
00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:51,360
Speaker 2: about that and you want to protect it. Yeah.

18
00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:55,400
Speaker 3: Absolutely, And that's that's really the way it starts. And

19
00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:58,400
Speaker 3: then it's ninety something degrees and then you're like, let

20
00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:00,520
Speaker 3: me just let me just survive. I want to make

21
00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:04,679
Speaker 3: as many plays as possible, but let me just survive.

22
00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:07,199
Speaker 3: This you know, I've seen you know, I haven't gotten

23
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:09,280
Speaker 3: into my It took me a long time to get

24
00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:12,199
Speaker 3: into my hair as hits with production meeting right after

25
00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:17,200
Speaker 3: practice for the TV game for TV on Saturday, So

26
00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:19,440
Speaker 3: I haven't been able to kind of go back through

27
00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:22,840
Speaker 3: my notes and look thoroughly in them, or I didn't

28
00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:25,720
Speaker 3: until late. I got a feeling, and I've seen a

29
00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:28,360
Speaker 3: couple of people tweeted about this. Oh it was. It

30
00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:31,080
Speaker 3: was pretty close to even. They were evenly matched. I

31
00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:32,720
Speaker 3: would say this for a lot of people that think

32
00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:37,160
Speaker 3: that a that the Panthers are the team that Texas

33
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:40,240
Speaker 3: should just roll up on and just knock them out with,

34
00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:42,760
Speaker 3: you know, a couple of easy punches. That is a

35
00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:46,679
Speaker 3: well coached football team. They've gotten better and better. I

36
00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:49,520
Speaker 3: feel like offensively, I said this the other night, that

37
00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:51,080
Speaker 3: offensive line is stout.

38
00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:54,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, you did, say, Taylor Mowten and Ikey Ikwan who.

39
00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:56,560
Speaker 3: I saw Ikey in the hallway and I said, Man,

40
00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:00,000
Speaker 3: how far you've come in two years. Man, it's incredible

41
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:02,120
Speaker 3: able to watch you. I said, keep it up. Boston

42
00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:05,240
Speaker 3: Corbett Center. They went and got Damian Lewis and Robert

43
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:08,600
Speaker 3: Hunt in free agency going into twenty four and that

44
00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:11,560
Speaker 3: line works very well together, very well, and their receiving

45
00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:13,640
Speaker 3: pieces are good and Tuba Hubbards a real good running back.

46
00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:15,440
Speaker 2: I think the offense is going to be much better.

47
00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:18,120
Speaker 3: I thought the offense, the Texas offense had a lot

48
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:21,600
Speaker 3: of success against the Panthers defense. They didn't have j. C. Horn,

49
00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:24,280
Speaker 3: but they did have Derek Brown back. But they're hurting

50
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:28,280
Speaker 3: it linebacker. I feel like the Panthers defense needs a

51
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:30,720
Speaker 3: couple of edge guys to step up and really kind

52
00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:34,040
Speaker 3: of stand out. But the offense had a couple of

53
00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:36,160
Speaker 3: bog down moments in the red zone. But then when

54
00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:37,440
Speaker 3: they got to the two minute drill at the end

55
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:40,880
Speaker 3: of practice, forget it. CJ went right down the field touchdown.

56
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:42,920
Speaker 3: Christian Kirk Davis Mills came out of the field right

57
00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:46,200
Speaker 3: down the field touchdown, trying to remember who he threw

58
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:47,919
Speaker 3: that to Mechi maybe I think it was. I can't

59
00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:51,600
Speaker 3: remember totally, but it was. The two minute drives were telling.

60
00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:54,000
Speaker 3: I mean, they did, they did whatever they wanted to.

61
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:57,239
Speaker 3: But again, the thing about it is Mark the pass

62
00:02:57,320 --> 00:03:02,640
Speaker 3: protection continues to be really really good, really good, and

63
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:04,960
Speaker 3: that is a that's a great sign. And it wasn't

64
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:08,720
Speaker 3: always the front five that we saw at the Greenbrier.

65
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:12,280
Speaker 3: There were a couple couple guys that were different, but

66
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:16,440
Speaker 3: what's been consistent is seventy nine Arianta Ersrie has been

67
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:19,600
Speaker 3: consistent in left tackle and all the work against the

68
00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:21,919
Speaker 3: Neil Hunter and Will Anderson Junior have made him a

69
00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:23,040
Speaker 3: better player day after day.

70
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:25,160
Speaker 1: Well, one thing I like is we look at this

71
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:27,680
Speaker 1: game coming up Saturday as it relates to what you

72
00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:30,600
Speaker 1: just saw in joint practices. And Tamiko Ryans told me this.

73
00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:34,960
Speaker 1: I felt like last week the scrimmage at the Greenbrier

74
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:37,800
Speaker 1: followed by the Vikings game, it was like one big

75
00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:38,880
Speaker 1: file of information.

76
00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:40,760
Speaker 2: Yes, And he said yes.

77
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:44,240
Speaker 1: The joint practice with the Panthers and whatever happens Saturday

78
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:48,240
Speaker 1: is like a gigantic collective file of information that they're

79
00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:51,880
Speaker 1: going to go through. And it's also spread out over

80
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:54,840
Speaker 1: three days because you have today, Tomorrow Saturday, but you

81
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:58,000
Speaker 1: have game adjustments going on on the fly.

82
00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:01,360
Speaker 2: But it's just taken along time. There's a long halftime here.

83
00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:05,080
Speaker 1: It's called Friday because you have what happened in the

84
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:09,080
Speaker 1: joint practices and they saw stuff. They're going to adjust

85
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:12,240
Speaker 1: both sides and then they'll flesh it out in the game,

86
00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:14,400
Speaker 1: and that's gonna be fun to see how they react

87
00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:17,400
Speaker 1: and act based on what they saw on Thursday.

88
00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:20,279
Speaker 2: And you mentioned this earlier in the week.

89
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:23,880
Speaker 1: You're facing a different front than you're accustomed to, and

90
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:27,120
Speaker 1: it's great work for the offense and the guys on

91
00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:29,400
Speaker 1: the offensive line at CJ. Stratt to get their act

92
00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:34,720
Speaker 1: together and communicate and block everything properly so they could execute.

93
00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:38,240
Speaker 2: And man, was CJ throwing some dimes in practice.

94
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:42,480
Speaker 1: Definite dis the one to Kirk in red zone at

95
00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:46,000
Speaker 1: the end. It was a situation ended up in red

96
00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:48,880
Speaker 1: zone a laser.

97
00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:52,120
Speaker 2: It was brilliant, beautiful throw by CJ. Stradd. He had

98
00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:52,960
Speaker 2: a few others.

99
00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:55,479
Speaker 1: There was one red zone period, just purely red zone

100
00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:59,120
Speaker 1: where we didn't see Nico and I'm thinking, where's twelve

101
00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:01,279
Speaker 1: and you and I are talking and not that I

102
00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:04,200
Speaker 1: was panicking. You got me scared, not that scar, but

103
00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:06,280
Speaker 1: I didn't see Nico out there. He's probably I think

104
00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:08,560
Speaker 1: he was getting a drink, cramping up whatever whatever he

105
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:11,719
Speaker 1: was doing, getting cooled off, and we were having trouble

106
00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:16,360
Speaker 1: getting getting into the end zone. Nico checks back in boom, touchdown.

107
00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:19,359
Speaker 1: Good night, everybody, Mike drop I'm out of here. You know,

108
00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:21,680
Speaker 1: that's what he could have done. So that was cool

109
00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:25,760
Speaker 1: to see. Bryce did make some throws, you know, joint practice.

110
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:28,039
Speaker 1: You get your head on a swivel. I'm looking left,

111
00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:32,359
Speaker 1: I'm looking right. I'm hoping they're in phase where scrimmage

112
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:35,599
Speaker 1: play over here, pause, scrimmage play over there.

113
00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:37,360
Speaker 2: Back to this side, back to that side. Sometimes they

114
00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:37,720
Speaker 2: like a.

115
00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:39,920
Speaker 3: Tennis match, you're just looking back and forth and back

116
00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:40,359
Speaker 3: and forth.

117
00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:43,520
Speaker 1: And sometimes they were doing things at the same time,

118
00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:44,080
Speaker 1: which shocked.

119
00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:47,000
Speaker 3: I was like, can you guys wait a minute offfense

120
00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:47,480
Speaker 3: hold on.

121
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:49,400
Speaker 2: They didn't stop for me, No, they did not do it.

122
00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:54,280
Speaker 2: Bryce do some dimes. He at Xavier le get to

123
00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:54,640
Speaker 2: make sure.

124
00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:58,840
Speaker 3: I've always heard different pronunciations something looking at the pronunciation,

125
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:01,919
Speaker 3: uh lea Get.

126
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:03,920
Speaker 2: He made a couple of big plays.

127
00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:07,159
Speaker 3: Uh. And that's where Jalen Smith, the rookie Jay Rock,

128
00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:09,080
Speaker 3: get a little bit of an education against.

129
00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:12,440
Speaker 2: A physical dude. Wen Xavier walked.

130
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:15,599
Speaker 3: By us, and we're just like, whoa, Yeah, that is

131
00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:18,400
Speaker 3: a big He's big and he's built.

132
00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:20,920
Speaker 2: And he can get up. He's an ath got muscles

133
00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:21,960
Speaker 2: on top of his muscles.

134
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:25,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, but you know, the defense at have worked today

135
00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:27,479
Speaker 3: a little bit, and Bryce made him work. I thought

136
00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:29,920
Speaker 3: that was it was good. They you know, the Panthers

137
00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:33,520
Speaker 3: offense is a little different. You know, Texans, you know,

138
00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:35,880
Speaker 3: have a lot of you know, condensed formations and do

139
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:39,040
Speaker 3: things kind of between the between the numbers. The Panthers

140
00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:40,520
Speaker 3: will spread you out and they've got a good group

141
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:45,120
Speaker 3: with Tedoro McMillan wide receiver, Adam Thielen at wide receiver. Yeah,

142
00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:48,680
Speaker 3: and then you've got Leget that's a good strongth three

143
00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:51,600
Speaker 3: you right there, and then Jatavian Sanders at tight end.

144
00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:53,880
Speaker 3: So I was going back and forth kind of watching

145
00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:58,080
Speaker 3: different parts. One time it was perfect, imperfect sync because

146
00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:01,280
Speaker 3: I could watch the defense and then I could turn

147
00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:03,120
Speaker 3: around and look up at the video board and I

148
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:04,200
Speaker 3: could see the offense.

149
00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:07,880
Speaker 2: It was perfect. I that was. That was right where

150
00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:08,479
Speaker 2: I wanted to be.

151
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:11,000
Speaker 3: I was writing about as fast as I could in

152
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:13,960
Speaker 3: my notebook, so some of it was illegible at times,

153
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:15,000
Speaker 3: but it was.

154
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:17,520
Speaker 2: It was good work on both sides.

155
00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:19,400
Speaker 3: You know. It's one of those things where I think

156
00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:24,440
Speaker 3: the last couple of years we joined practices, it was, oh, okay,

157
00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:25,760
Speaker 3: we're going against the Dolphins.

158
00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:27,400
Speaker 2: Oh we got to prove ourselves. You got to prove

159
00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:27,600
Speaker 2: you know.

160
00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:30,960
Speaker 3: I think today was really about getting work against a

161
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:34,240
Speaker 3: different NFL team. Yeah, And I felt like the Panthers

162
00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:36,800
Speaker 3: were a perfect squad because I think they've come a

163
00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:40,280
Speaker 3: long way in a couple of years with Dave Canalis.

164
00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:42,000
Speaker 2: Dan Morgan a GM. You can chance to talk to

165
00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:44,080
Speaker 2: him formerly. I have not talked to him this trip,

166
00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:45,320
Speaker 2: but I talked to him at the owners meeting.

167
00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:45,760
Speaker 4: Yeah.

168
00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:48,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, GM of the Carolina Panthers doing a good job

169
00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:49,400
Speaker 3: of building that team.

170
00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:50,920
Speaker 2: So it was good work.

171
00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:53,000
Speaker 3: And I thought the offense did some good things. And

172
00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:56,280
Speaker 3: to me, when I think about, okay, what is it

173
00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:57,080
Speaker 3: that I want to see?

174
00:07:57,120 --> 00:07:58,360
Speaker 2: What were we talking?

175
00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:01,360
Speaker 3: What was talked about all winner long, all spring long?

176
00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:04,280
Speaker 3: How's this offensive line gonna look? How's the pass protection

177
00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:06,960
Speaker 3: without Laramie and blah blah blah blah blah.

178
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:09,640
Speaker 2: It was damn good. Okay, it was damn good. All right,

179
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:10,480
Speaker 2: So it's been good.

180
00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:14,080
Speaker 1: Top three things to watch for Saturday, and again it's

181
00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:16,000
Speaker 1: an extension of what we saw in the joint practice.

182
00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:20,800
Speaker 1: But that past protection and let's start there pass protection.

183
00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:23,400
Speaker 1: You talked about Ursery, how good he's been looking, but

184
00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:26,640
Speaker 1: just being able to get CJ some time. If you

185
00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:28,760
Speaker 1: get him time, he's gonna be deadly. And they were

186
00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:30,760
Speaker 1: able to do that, and you're seeing more and more

187
00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:32,920
Speaker 1: of that. I felt like when you mentioned this from

188
00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:34,600
Speaker 1: the get go, Once they got at the pads, it

189
00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:37,120
Speaker 1: got a little better, and it keeps getting better and

190
00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:38,840
Speaker 1: better as they learned this offense.

191
00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:39,800
Speaker 2: We sat down with CJ.

192
00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:43,280
Speaker 1: Stroud today and he echoed that that this is a

193
00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:46,600
Speaker 1: process and he's very patient about it, Johnny very much.

194
00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:47,760
Speaker 2: You asked him something.

195
00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:50,440
Speaker 1: About, well, you know, do you want to get it

196
00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:53,720
Speaker 1: done yesterday or something like. I forget how you worded it,

197
00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:55,960
Speaker 1: but he said, man, no, Man, I'm good. I know

198
00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:59,320
Speaker 1: that this takes time. I'm paraphrasing. I can't speak for him,

199
00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:04,360
Speaker 1: but I thought that was notable, very patient guy wise

200
00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:08,240
Speaker 1: beyond his years, for sure, as it applies to football

201
00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:11,000
Speaker 1: and life, I think, and he's just going to let

202
00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:13,120
Speaker 1: it mature as it goes. And I think it's going

203
00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:15,720
Speaker 1: to be ready for the Rams, ready enough to be

204
00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:17,760
Speaker 1: highly competitive and effective in that game.

205
00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:19,200
Speaker 2: But I think it's only going to get better as

206
00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:21,360
Speaker 2: the season progresses. Yeah, I don't think there's any question

207
00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:21,839
Speaker 2: about that.

208
00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:24,480
Speaker 3: And you know, sometimes you have to pinch yourself and go,

209
00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:26,920
Speaker 3: he's twenty three. I mean, my god, you know he

210
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:29,520
Speaker 3: and Bryce, both of them, I mean they're you know,

211
00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:30,240
Speaker 3: look at it.

212
00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:31,360
Speaker 2: My son's twenty five.

213
00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:33,520
Speaker 3: I'm like, you know, it's you got to keep that

214
00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:36,080
Speaker 3: in mind sometimes when you're when you're talking about the

215
00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:38,600
Speaker 3: young men that play this game, I think sometimes that's

216
00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:40,679
Speaker 3: that's lost on us. I would think a second thing

217
00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:43,160
Speaker 3: that I'm going to be looking for is the linebacker battle,

218
00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:47,520
Speaker 3: because you have now, I don't you know, Christian Harris

219
00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:49,480
Speaker 3: didn't practice today. My gut tells me if you're in

220
00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:51,440
Speaker 3: practice today, he's not gonna play a game, of course,

221
00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:54,600
Speaker 3: but you have three legit dudes at linebacker right now,

222
00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:59,400
Speaker 3: and then when Christian is ready to go, that's four legit, athletic, smart,

223
00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:03,360
Speaker 3: productive linebackers. And how that all kind of works itself out,

224
00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:05,360
Speaker 3: I'm really curious to see.

225
00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:06,520
Speaker 2: So I'm putting number two.

226
00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:10,360
Speaker 3: I'm'na put linebackers and the depth at linebacker, which I

227
00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:11,520
Speaker 3: think is as good as it's been.

228
00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:14,360
Speaker 1: Okay, well, you mentioned the good offensive line for the

229
00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:18,360
Speaker 1: Carolina Panthers, and I could say the whole defense against Carolina,

230
00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:20,440
Speaker 1: But I want to see the pass rush, get after it.

231
00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:22,800
Speaker 1: I want to see the pass rush. We've seen it

232
00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:26,800
Speaker 1: against this offense well, and we saw some flashes because

233
00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:29,559
Speaker 1: none of the front line guys were playing against Minnesota,

234
00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:33,439
Speaker 1: but we saw some flashes against the Vikings that we liked.

235
00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:36,200
Speaker 1: That we liked when you got it to the second level,

236
00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:40,000
Speaker 1: casey two Hill, make it a play, Undabuisi, make it

237
00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:40,720
Speaker 1: very good.

238
00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:42,679
Speaker 2: I got it, you got it. I got crushed it,

239
00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:43,960
Speaker 2: crushed it, crushed it.

240
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:47,320
Speaker 1: I'm not touching the Nigerian, the international pathway player.

241
00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:52,080
Speaker 2: Hey guy, Undu Buisi. Yes, and D straightness at him.

242
00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:53,760
Speaker 2: He did that, Jerry too, as.

243
00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:55,560
Speaker 3: And D said in the words of Indie Kolu, which

244
00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:58,000
Speaker 3: is great. He's from the same tribe. Yes, he said,

245
00:10:58,040 --> 00:10:59,120
Speaker 3: that's what That's good.

246
00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:02,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, I want to see howks those those guys get

247
00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:06,440
Speaker 1: after it up front pass rushing. Make some noise there,

248
00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:09,319
Speaker 1: so let guys in the back end eat get the turnovers.

249
00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:11,120
Speaker 2: I think this team's gonna get a lot of takeaways

250
00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:11,480
Speaker 2: this year.

251
00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:13,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that's gonna happen. It's gonna be good

252
00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:15,560
Speaker 3: to have CJ. Gardner Johnson back at some point to

253
00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:18,319
Speaker 3: be able to add to that because he's so smart,

254
00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:22,880
Speaker 3: very athletic, knows the game. Play it well up. I mean,

255
00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:24,320
Speaker 3: you know at the line of scrimmage, you play it

256
00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:26,520
Speaker 3: from depth. I mean, I just think they can go

257
00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:28,400
Speaker 3: get the football with the guys having a back end

258
00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:28,800
Speaker 3: for sure.

259
00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:31,440
Speaker 1: How about this The Sleeper of the Game brought to

260
00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:33,840
Speaker 1: you by Metros Firm, the official sleep partner of the

261
00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:36,680
Speaker 1: Houston Texans, and they were in the building this week

262
00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:40,480
Speaker 1: getting players fitted for special pillows and things like that.

263
00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:42,360
Speaker 1: That's a nice little perk. That is a great perk.

264
00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:44,920
Speaker 1: That's a nice perk. You get a pillow for Mattress Firm,

265
00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:48,080
Speaker 1: a great perk. And those are good pillows. Those are

266
00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:50,640
Speaker 1: good ones. Don't come at me with these terrible pillows.

267
00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:52,600
Speaker 1: I want good pillows for Mattress Firm.

268
00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:55,800
Speaker 3: Listen, I'm telling you right now, a bad pillow can

269
00:11:55,880 --> 00:11:57,520
Speaker 3: set you in a wrong direction.

270
00:11:57,679 --> 00:12:00,560
Speaker 2: Oh my god, I got vertigo. I went to La

271
00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:01,479
Speaker 2: and I slept.

272
00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:03,640
Speaker 3: On bad pillows in my my daughter's apartment for a

273
00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:04,480
Speaker 3: week and a half.

274
00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:06,760
Speaker 2: I came home and my neck was all jacked up.

275
00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:07,439
Speaker 5: Man.

276
00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:11,200
Speaker 3: I think Sleeper of the Game, you got one. I

277
00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:13,319
Speaker 3: think Sleeper of the Game for me is gonna end

278
00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:14,520
Speaker 3: up being tight end.

279
00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:15,160
Speaker 2: Kate'siver.

280
00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:18,640
Speaker 1: Oh really yeah, yeah, he's gonna play because guys are

281
00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:19,480
Speaker 1: gonna play in this game.

282
00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:21,480
Speaker 2: Now, the guys are gonna play. Now, Kate's not gonna

283
00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:23,960
Speaker 2: play a ton, but he played, he played last week.

284
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:24,959
Speaker 2: He did, he played.

285
00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:27,319
Speaker 3: Last week, and look it's done as at the tight

286
00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:30,280
Speaker 3: end position right now. It's plentiful if we're if we're

287
00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:33,240
Speaker 3: being honest. Unfortunately, you know, Trey McKitty just got here.

288
00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:36,360
Speaker 3: So I don't know how much Smith Smith was back then.

289
00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:39,840
Speaker 3: I was good, but I feel like eighty seven being

290
00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:42,240
Speaker 3: on the field getting him involved in the passing game

291
00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:43,559
Speaker 3: either trying to get him in the end zone. The

292
00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:46,079
Speaker 3: other day, I thought still and set it a really

293
00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:51,520
Speaker 3: nice job of breaking down why that Kate probably was

294
00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:52,520
Speaker 3: a little off his landmark.

295
00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:54,240
Speaker 2: Because of that, Davis threw it a little wider than

296
00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:55,840
Speaker 2: he probably should have been a touchdown.

297
00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:58,840
Speaker 3: But that said, I think getting Kate in the end

298
00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:02,440
Speaker 3: zone last week, Tommy Tod, you guys the sleeper sets.

299
00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:04,320
Speaker 2: So I'm going offense this week. So I'm going cat.

300
00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:07,720
Speaker 1: Stover all right, I'll go defense. And it's a pretty

301
00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:10,839
Speaker 1: easy one because he's gonna play a lot in this game.

302
00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:13,079
Speaker 1: And he made plays last week. He's been making plays

303
00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:15,839
Speaker 1: for a while now, Russ Yeast, Yeah, good one. Now,

304
00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:18,640
Speaker 1: we had the advantage of talking to coaches who tell

305
00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:22,640
Speaker 1: us Russ Yeast has developed rather quickly from the spring

306
00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:26,040
Speaker 1: sessions and he's really moved in the right direction here.

307
00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:29,240
Speaker 1: So Russ Yeast is my guy to make a play

308
00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:32,160
Speaker 1: based on that pass rush, getting after it, him being

309
00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:34,280
Speaker 1: able to maybe pick one out of the air and

310
00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:37,520
Speaker 1: do something positive with it on Saturday, because that's what

311
00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:39,160
Speaker 1: you want to see. I want to see the team

312
00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:42,720
Speaker 1: go to halftime with the lead. Whatever happens at the

313
00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:45,960
Speaker 1: second after halftime in the second half, fine, but go

314
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:48,559
Speaker 1: to halftime with the lead, feel good about what your

315
00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:51,920
Speaker 1: first and second lines did, and then play the rest

316
00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:53,439
Speaker 1: of the game out. See what happens now. I want

317
00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:56,080
Speaker 1: to see a cleaner finish. I think that's another thing

318
00:13:56,280 --> 00:13:58,000
Speaker 1: that could be a thing to watch as well. It's

319
00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:01,000
Speaker 1: a top three thing to look out for, honorable mention.

320
00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:05,280
Speaker 1: Cleaner finish than what you had last week because you

321
00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:08,000
Speaker 1: had the three picks by Mertz and you don't have

322
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:10,000
Speaker 1: to get into whose fault or what whatever.

323
00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:11,040
Speaker 2: Whatever, don't do it.

324
00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:13,680
Speaker 3: Three takeaways for the Texans or three turnovers by the

325
00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:15,720
Speaker 3: texts three turnovers, don't need that.

326
00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:17,640
Speaker 2: One other thing I want to get into.

327
00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:20,440
Speaker 1: And well that's the general about this, Johnny, But a

328
00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:23,240
Speaker 1: very nice moment occurred for me personally this morning.

329
00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:24,640
Speaker 2: I walked down the hall.

330
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:28,000
Speaker 1: This is early before the coaching staffs are on the field,

331
00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:32,000
Speaker 1: and I see Bill Davis, Texans linebackers coach, talking to

332
00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:35,680
Speaker 1: somebody and it is Dom Capers, the first coach in

333
00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:38,240
Speaker 1: the history of the franchise. And Bill Davis has worked

334
00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:40,440
Speaker 1: with him in a couple of spots, not here but

335
00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:41,760
Speaker 1: Santa Loo.

336
00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:42,240
Speaker 2: To Dom.

337
00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:45,320
Speaker 1: Talking to Dom made my week. It really did, just

338
00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:49,160
Speaker 1: seeing him again, having those memories he talked about very

339
00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:53,040
Speaker 1: first Texans OTAs. This building is not open yet. They

340
00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:55,640
Speaker 1: have offices in the Astrodome. They got to go in there,

341
00:14:56,120 --> 00:14:57,800
Speaker 1: and I think they showered in there and stuff. Can

342
00:14:57,800 --> 00:15:00,440
Speaker 1: you imagine showering with the rats and the cats at

343
00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:03,400
Speaker 1: the Astrodome. Anyway, there might not have been too many

344
00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:06,400
Speaker 1: rats or as many then, but the astro was still open.

345
00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:08,760
Speaker 1: The very first draft party in Texans history was at

346
00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:10,840
Speaker 1: the Astrodome. I did a big event with Lou Holtz

347
00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:13,360
Speaker 1: and Bob McNair at the Astrodome my first month here

348
00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:18,000
Speaker 1: in Houston. Yeah, and it was fun. It was really

349
00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:20,560
Speaker 1: fun because I remember thinking, this is nice. I mean,

350
00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:23,720
Speaker 1: I've done some nice events before this, but Lou Holts,

351
00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:25,360
Speaker 1: Bob McNair, I'm in good shape here.

352
00:15:26,040 --> 00:15:27,560
Speaker 2: This is great. This is a good place to be.

353
00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:30,400
Speaker 1: But seeing Dom, it just made me smile. He still

354
00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:33,600
Speaker 1: talks to numerous people here in Houston, and he and

355
00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:36,560
Speaker 1: his wife Karen were wonderful people to have as part

356
00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:39,400
Speaker 1: of the organization and it was just lovely to catch

357
00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:42,440
Speaker 1: up with him. After he was here. He went to

358
00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:46,080
Speaker 1: Miami to be there d C after here. Yeah, and

359
00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:48,440
Speaker 1: Jason Taylor was Defensive Player of the Year under Dom

360
00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:50,440
Speaker 1: Capers and he really improved their defense.

361
00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:51,800
Speaker 2: And then he ended up with New England.

362
00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:54,360
Speaker 3: He went to the Packers for about eight nine years

363
00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:56,680
Speaker 3: and they won a championship with him New England.

364
00:15:56,760 --> 00:15:58,800
Speaker 1: He was there while O'Brien was there for a little

365
00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:02,520
Speaker 1: bit and remember, gosh, it was O'Brien's last game. Johnny

366
00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:06,560
Speaker 1: Kubiak is the OC or senior offensive assistant or something

367
00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:10,160
Speaker 1: he's something for the Vikings. Right Capers is a senior

368
00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:14,320
Speaker 1: defensive assistant for the Vikings, and Bill is here, So

369
00:16:14,360 --> 00:16:18,080
Speaker 1: the three of them, and this is during COVID Week four,

370
00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:21,160
Speaker 1: twenty twenty pose for a picture on the field. So Zach,

371
00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:24,280
Speaker 1: our photographer has this picture somewhere somewhere. Since then, we've

372
00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:28,600
Speaker 1: had three more coaches. But anyway, those three posts, we should.

373
00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:30,360
Speaker 2: Have gotten Rack in there, should have got Romeo in there.

374
00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:33,320
Speaker 1: Exact, they're gonna take over for me tomorrow, so you

375
00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:34,480
Speaker 1: might as well get into this picture.

376
00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:36,800
Speaker 2: Now, what a weird day that was. That was a

377
00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:37,320
Speaker 2: weird day.

378
00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:39,520
Speaker 1: And that picture never saw the light of day, because

379
00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:41,760
Speaker 1: what do you do to that point? Yeah, there was

380
00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:44,200
Speaker 1: a radio show that didn't see the light of day either. Yeah,

381
00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:47,520
Speaker 1: we recorded a whole radio show Bill Bryan never aired.

382
00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:51,200
Speaker 1: I had that show somewhere. I still possess that show somewhere.

383
00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:51,640
Speaker 2: All right.

384
00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:55,240
Speaker 1: That's that's us talking about the game to come, the

385
00:16:55,400 --> 00:16:58,880
Speaker 1: joint practices that were, and the general that is is next.

391
00:17:15,080 --> 00:17:17,320

Speaker 1: that we have John McLean on the show. We kind

00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:28,280
Speaker 1: of flip things around. Thursday Night. Johnny and I broke

397
00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:32,080
Speaker 1: down the upcoming game and joint practice in the first segment.

398
00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:37,240
Speaker 1: Now it's the general, Good Evening, John, your thoughts as

399
00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:40,679
Speaker 1: we enter pre season week two, coming off joint practices,

400
00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:44,879
Speaker 1: Carolina Panthers in town. Great to see former Texans head coach,

401
00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:47,879
Speaker 1: the first one in franchise history, Dom Caper's out there

402
00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:50,440
Speaker 1: as a senior assistant for the Panthers. A whole bunch

403
00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:53,080
Speaker 1: of fun stuff going on. Good evening, what's up?

404
00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:55,720
Speaker 5: And he was the first head coach in Panthers history,

405
00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:58,879
Speaker 5: as he was the first head coach in Texan's history.

406
00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:01,440
Speaker 4: And I remember.

407
00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:05,680
Speaker 5: About early in the season of two thousand and five,

408
00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:09,359
Speaker 5: after practice, I was talking to Bob McNairy was on

409
00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:11,800
Speaker 5: his golf cart, and.

410
00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:15,680
Speaker 4: He said, I really like Dom. I really want to

411
00:18:15,800 --> 00:18:16,359
Speaker 4: keep him.

412
00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:19,960
Speaker 5: I'm hoping we can turn it around and win a

413
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:23,760
Speaker 5: few more games. So I could justify keeping him, And

414
00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:27,840
Speaker 5: when he had to fire Dom after that terrible season,

415
00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:31,400
Speaker 5: he just felt awful because he liked him.

416
00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:33,520
Speaker 4: Dom is such a class act.

417
00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:36,960
Speaker 5: I remember when I retired from the Chronicle after the

418
00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:40,520
Speaker 5: twenty one season, I got all kinds of letters and

419
00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:43,680
Speaker 5: emails and calls, and one of them was from Dom,

420
00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:46,760
Speaker 5: even though I hadn't talked to him forever. I remember

421
00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:50,159
Speaker 5: when my father died, he sent me a letter. Just

422
00:18:50,320 --> 00:18:54,240
Speaker 5: one of the all time class acts. Dom capers and

423
00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:56,800
Speaker 5: I'm glad he's still with the Panthers because you know,

424
00:18:57,600 --> 00:19:01,200
Speaker 5: he loves ball. Vic Fangel told me one time, Diamond

425
00:19:01,359 --> 00:19:04,320
Speaker 5: doesn't have kids. He didn't think the rest of us

426
00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:05,000
Speaker 5: have kids.

427
00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:06,480
Speaker 4: He thinks all you want.

428
00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:08,800
Speaker 5: To do is work all day and all night. And

429
00:19:08,920 --> 00:19:12,920
Speaker 5: sometimes we tell them we do have other things besides football.

430
00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:17,080
Speaker 5: And the greatest thing I ever heard about him being

431
00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:25,280
Speaker 5: laser focused was when OJ and Al Callings were in

432
00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:30,840
Speaker 5: the Bronco and every person in the United States was

433
00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:35,639
Speaker 5: focused on the television, and they said all the coaches

434
00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:39,960
Speaker 5: were in an office just mesmerized by what was going

435
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:43,600
Speaker 5: on with TV, and Dom stuck his head in there

436
00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:46,080
Speaker 5: and said, what's going on? They said, OJ and Al

437
00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:49,840
Speaker 5: Callings are in a bronco and nobody knows where they're going.

438
00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:55,480
Speaker 5: He goes OJ, what's up with OJ? And everybody looked

439
00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:57,879
Speaker 5: at him, like, what planet have you been on?

440
00:19:58,560 --> 00:19:59,919
Speaker 2: How is history different?

441
00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:03,399
Speaker 3: One of the things that was a revelation in the

442
00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:07,200
Speaker 3: thirty for thirty documentary The Two Bills about Bill Parcells

443
00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:11,360
Speaker 3: and Bill Belichick. The Patriots were trying to hire Bill Belichick.

444
00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:13,800
Speaker 3: This is two going into the year two thousand. They

445
00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:16,840
Speaker 3: just fired Pete Carroll. They were trying to hire Bill Belichick,

446
00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:21,120
Speaker 3: but there was this whole thing going on with the Jets,

447
00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:23,400
Speaker 3: and he left the Jets, and the Jets were mad

448
00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:25,800
Speaker 3: all this, and so this was taking a long time

449
00:20:25,800 --> 00:20:29,879
Speaker 3: for the NFL to figure out. And Robert Craft is like,

450
00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:32,879
Speaker 3: I might have to go hire Dom Capers. I really

451
00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:35,200
Speaker 3: like Dom Capers. He was down with Jacksonville as a

452
00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:38,919
Speaker 3: defensive coordinator and he was thinking about hiring dom Capers

453
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:41,720
Speaker 3: until Bill Parcells called Craft and said, Okay, we'll work

454
00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:44,240
Speaker 3: out a deal for Belichick so you can have Belichick.

455
00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:48,440
Speaker 2: And the rest, as they say, is history.

456
00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:51,760
Speaker 3: As Belichick went to New England and ended up winning

457
00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:55,240
Speaker 3: all kinds of championships, et cetera and dominated up. I mean,

458
00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:59,040
Speaker 3: it's amazing to look at his wiki page. Holy smoked,

459
00:20:59,080 --> 00:21:01,840
Speaker 3: the life of a coach. Two years against State, You're

460
00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:04,200
Speaker 3: at Washington two and Hawaii one at Sanesse State.

461
00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:08,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know, I don't want to lose up all.

462
00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:10,280
Speaker 3: Your time, but it's just amazing when you think about

463
00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:13,040
Speaker 3: NFL coaches and just coaches in general. Man, they don't

464
00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:16,760
Speaker 3: stay long in a place, man, they do not stay long.

465
00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:19,560
Speaker 2: They are no Mattic, There's no question about that.

466
00:21:19,560 --> 00:21:23,480
Speaker 3: All right, general, A your general thoughts about what you

467
00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:25,520
Speaker 3: saw Saturday against the Vikings. We went through that a

468
00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:27,399
Speaker 3: little bit on Monday, but let's hit a couple of

469
00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:30,280
Speaker 3: those if they're still lingering, and then, b what do

470
00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:34,040
Speaker 3: you want to see Saturday? We should see a little

471
00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:36,840
Speaker 3: bit more of the top line guys, the starters, the ones,

472
00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:38,840
Speaker 3: if you will. What do you want to see from

473
00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:40,920
Speaker 3: that group on Saturday against the Panthers.

474
00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:44,679
Speaker 5: The thing that stood out to me, besides the individual

475
00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:48,800
Speaker 5: players was out good Davis Mills look as the backup quarterback.

476
00:21:48,840 --> 00:21:52,520
Speaker 5: And I think I mentioned this on Monday. Nick Assario

477
00:21:52,800 --> 00:21:55,400
Speaker 5: has got to go to him at some point this

478
00:21:55,480 --> 00:21:58,800
Speaker 5: season said we like to extend you again, maybe for

479
00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:01,280
Speaker 5: two or three years, because if he has to play,

480
00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:05,840
Speaker 5: I think Texans players, coaches, fans, media, everybody would be

481
00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:10,160
Speaker 5: comfortable with Mills. And he's not CJ. Stroud, but he's

482
00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:12,159
Speaker 5: got to be one of the better backup quarterbacks in

483
00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:16,040
Speaker 5: the league. I saw Andy Dalton today and had some people, well,

484
00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:20,440
Speaker 5: Andy Dalton's still around, Well, Bryce Young's been durable, and

485
00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:23,800
Speaker 5: guys like that, if they don't price themselves out of

486
00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:26,880
Speaker 5: the market, can make several million dollars. And I think

487
00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:30,920
Speaker 5: Andy Dalton type, Davis Mills type makes the coaches feel

488
00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:35,399
Speaker 5: really good. And I thought we Braxton Barrios sides of

489
00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:38,880
Speaker 5: touchdown really good, run looks good on returns.

490
00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:40,480
Speaker 4: The young receivers.

491
00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:42,960
Speaker 5: You know, we all talk about Jayden Niggins being the

492
00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:47,919
Speaker 5: starter opposite Nico Collins, But every time you look up,

493
00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:51,280
Speaker 5: Jalen Nole, third round pick, is catching a pass in

494
00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:54,800
Speaker 5: the middle of phil and emerging from the crowd like

495
00:22:54,880 --> 00:22:58,280
Speaker 5: emerging from a dust storm and taking off down the field.

496
00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:01,960
Speaker 5: So I can't wait to watch the young play again. Uh,

497
00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:06,000
Speaker 5: Perrynta Hursery, you know you said two weeks ago, John

498
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:08,360
Speaker 5: he's going to be starting one of the two spots

499
00:23:08,440 --> 00:23:10,080
Speaker 5: right now, it looks like he's going to start at

500
00:23:10,119 --> 00:23:13,640
Speaker 5: left tackle and Titus Howard and right tackle. And props

501
00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:16,760
Speaker 5: to Titus for being moved all over the place the

502
00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:20,040
Speaker 5: last three years and back to where they had him

503
00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:23,040
Speaker 5: to begin with. And they seem to have a lot

504
00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:25,960
Speaker 5: of depth inside. So I can't wait to see them.

505
00:23:26,359 --> 00:23:28,760
Speaker 5: What's going to be fun in this one. Bryce Young

506
00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:29,240
Speaker 5: will play.

507
00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:29,600
Speaker 3: C J.

508
00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:32,800
Speaker 5: Strad will strip play. They're good friends. They were high

509
00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:36,280
Speaker 5: school rivals in California, and both of them took off

510
00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:39,240
Speaker 5: across the country to go play college ball at Ohio

511
00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:43,240
Speaker 5: State and Alabama. So I'm looking forward to them. I'm

512
00:23:43,280 --> 00:23:47,560
Speaker 5: looking forward to seeing their rookie receiver McMillan uh sego

513
00:23:47,680 --> 00:23:53,800
Speaker 5: by t or Toria. What is he he's got He's

514
00:23:53,800 --> 00:23:56,959
Speaker 5: got a nickname, but he's six four, just like Nico,

515
00:23:57,280 --> 00:24:00,280
Speaker 5: just like Kiggins. So they've got some young players. I

516
00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:04,359
Speaker 5: think Carolina they they're not destined for the seller that's

517
00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:08,119
Speaker 5: gonna be New Orleans with Tyler Shuck the rookie quarterback.

518
00:24:08,520 --> 00:24:10,840
Speaker 5: But we saw it into last year Bryan Shaw and

519
00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:13,480
Speaker 5: the Panthers show significant improvement.

520
00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:16,720
Speaker 3: T Mac is his nickname, which around here in these

521
00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:19,600
Speaker 3: parts we know a different tea mac so, but that's

522
00:24:19,680 --> 00:24:21,560
Speaker 3: that's what he's known as ted Ro McMillan.

523
00:24:22,040 --> 00:24:22,159
Speaker 2: Uh.

524
00:24:22,280 --> 00:24:24,240
Speaker 3: And it was it was a good battle between Tedo

525
00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:29,680
Speaker 3: McMillan executedly get It was a good battle on practice

526
00:24:29,720 --> 00:24:33,960
Speaker 3: with those receivers. Derek Stingley, Kamari Lassiter, Adam Feeling. You

527
00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:37,800
Speaker 3: know that that Panthers wide receiver group. It's better than

528
00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:39,960
Speaker 3: I think people want. I think this whole offense is

529
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:42,520
Speaker 3: better than people want to really say. I mean, the

530
00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:45,360
Speaker 3: offensive line is tremendous, I think. And then you've got

531
00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:47,960
Speaker 3: receivers like man, this this could be a pretty good group.

532
00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:49,719
Speaker 3: You start Team Mac into that group now. And then

533
00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:51,760
Speaker 3: Bryce I thought, looked really good. I thought Bryce threw

534
00:24:51,800 --> 00:24:53,960
Speaker 3: the ball pretty well. So I think Panthers are gonna

535
00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:54,440
Speaker 3: be just fine.

536
00:24:54,600 --> 00:24:58,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, it should be interesting and general Bryce Young after

537
00:24:58,560 --> 00:25:02,879
Speaker 1: getting benched last year week three, he comes back and

538
00:25:02,920 --> 00:25:05,560
Speaker 1: he plays much better. And today he looked like, well,

539
00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:08,440
Speaker 1: not exactly Tom Brady or the finished product or anything

540
00:25:08,520 --> 00:25:11,080
Speaker 1: like that, but he looked like a very serviceable at

541
00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:15,400
Speaker 1: least NFL quarterback, look confident, look comfortable in this offense.

542
00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:18,280
Speaker 1: Year two under Canalis. Is this a good tale? Here

543
00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:20,359
Speaker 1: when you look at a number one overall pick who.

544
00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:22,600
Speaker 1: I don't want to say everyone gave up on him,

545
00:25:22,600 --> 00:25:24,560
Speaker 1: but they kind of did. They just forgot about him

546
00:25:24,560 --> 00:25:27,320
Speaker 1: for a while because he wasn't living up to the expectations.

547
00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:29,840
Speaker 1: And now he might, as we see him play in

548
00:25:29,840 --> 00:25:30,680
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five.

549
00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:34,080
Speaker 5: In twenty three, it was all about CJ. Straup because

550
00:25:34,119 --> 00:25:36,359
Speaker 5: he had a great rookie year and Bryce S.

551
00:25:36,359 --> 00:25:37,719
Speaker 4: Young struggled.

552
00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:41,680
Speaker 5: This was the first time I had seen him on

553
00:25:41,720 --> 00:25:45,280
Speaker 5: the field, first time I've seen him in person since

554
00:25:45,280 --> 00:25:48,840
Speaker 5: the combat, and I'm still just taking blown away by

555
00:25:48,840 --> 00:25:52,560
Speaker 5: how small he is and how he can survive the

556
00:25:52,560 --> 00:25:56,000
Speaker 5: way he does. I remember Drew Braes measured six foot

557
00:25:56,119 --> 00:26:00,760
Speaker 5: one quarter in two thousand and one. He and Michael

558
00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:04,920
Speaker 5: Vick were in that draft, and Vic was a half

559
00:26:04,960 --> 00:26:08,679
Speaker 5: inch taller than he was, and Breeze saying later he

560
00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:12,639
Speaker 5: very seldom threw over lineman. He had to learn to

561
00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:17,440
Speaker 5: throw between lineman and slide right, slide left, roll throw

562
00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:21,240
Speaker 5: the ball. Bryce Young's journ learned to do that, and

563
00:26:21,320 --> 00:26:24,280
Speaker 5: they've worn't hard to give him receivers the last two years,

564
00:26:24,800 --> 00:26:27,800
Speaker 5: and hopefully for them they'll pan out. And I don't

565
00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:30,200
Speaker 5: think they're going to compete for the division. I think

566
00:26:30,240 --> 00:26:34,000
Speaker 5: that they'll be the Bucks again, and then the Falcons

567
00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:36,439
Speaker 5: trying to put eat on them and the Panthers just

568
00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:40,520
Speaker 5: trying to show some improvement. Where the Texans again are

569
00:26:40,560 --> 00:26:44,600
Speaker 5: clearly favored to win the AFC South, and then we'll

570
00:26:44,640 --> 00:26:47,040
Speaker 5: see if they can be good enough to get a

571
00:26:47,119 --> 00:26:50,679
Speaker 5: divisional game at home or win a divisional game on

572
00:26:50,720 --> 00:26:54,000
Speaker 5: the road, assuming they blow out another team at home,

573
00:26:54,040 --> 00:26:56,040
Speaker 5: which they've done in the last two years.

574
00:26:56,400 --> 00:26:59,359
Speaker 3: General two parter a. Have you listened to the New

575
00:26:59,359 --> 00:27:01,880
Speaker 3: Heights podcast with Taylor Swift and the two Kelsey's.

576
00:27:02,240 --> 00:27:04,680
Speaker 5: I didn't listen all of it, but I read everything

577
00:27:04,720 --> 00:27:08,920
Speaker 5: and got all the highlights, and I thought she was hilarious.

578
00:27:09,359 --> 00:27:11,720
Speaker 3: I will admit I listened to the first hour and

579
00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:13,920
Speaker 3: fifteen minutes. Haven't woa, Yeah, I did.

580
00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:16,720
Speaker 2: Wait how long is this? It's two hours? It's two

581
00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:19,240
Speaker 2: hours plus, and she dropped.

582
00:27:19,920 --> 00:27:22,639
Speaker 5: She was a big talking about music. She's given Kelsey

583
00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:25,800
Speaker 5: a hard time. I thought she showed a great person.

584
00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:29,600
Speaker 2: She was fantastic. I was blown away.

585
00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:32,440
Speaker 3: I mean, if you got to to have that many

586
00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:34,680
Speaker 3: swifties quote unquote, but.

587
00:27:35,880 --> 00:27:39,320
Speaker 2: Still not totally sure what it was about Travis Kelcey.

588
00:27:39,440 --> 00:27:42,840
Speaker 3: But either way, you also get the feeling like it

589
00:27:43,040 --> 00:27:44,119
Speaker 3: seems real.

590
00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:45,760
Speaker 2: Like a lot of people are like, it's fake, it's

591
00:27:45,760 --> 00:27:46,360
Speaker 2: for the cameras.

592
00:27:46,359 --> 00:27:48,800
Speaker 3: Way, now you get the impression they really like each other,

593
00:27:48,920 --> 00:27:50,960
Speaker 3: Like she really likes him and he really likes her.

594
00:27:51,040 --> 00:27:53,960
Speaker 2: So why fake it? Why fake it for so long?

595
00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:56,119
Speaker 2: I don't They're not faked. People do it all the

596
00:27:56,160 --> 00:27:59,760
Speaker 2: time in Hollywood. And her, Yeah, exactly, So for him,

597
00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:01,000
Speaker 2: she was clear great.

598
00:28:01,760 --> 00:28:04,000
Speaker 3: She talked about for the first like twenty minutes talking

599
00:28:04,040 --> 00:28:07,520
Speaker 3: about getting her master recordings back. Yeah, and what that

600
00:28:07,560 --> 00:28:09,879
Speaker 3: meant to her, right right, Oh, that was It was

601
00:28:10,080 --> 00:28:14,040
Speaker 3: really interesting to listen to that part of what she

602
00:28:14,080 --> 00:28:15,560
Speaker 3: had to say. So the second part of my question

603
00:28:15,640 --> 00:28:19,000
Speaker 3: has to do with Travis Kelcey. How good do you

604
00:28:19,040 --> 00:28:23,080
Speaker 3: think the Chiefs are this year? General Kelsey's maybe retiring

605
00:28:23,119 --> 00:28:25,960
Speaker 3: after this year? Does he still have anything left say

606
00:28:25,960 --> 00:28:28,200
Speaker 3: if you're worthy coming back? Where she rice, We don't

607
00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:31,520
Speaker 3: know what the suspension will be. Offensive Line is still

608
00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:34,919
Speaker 3: got some pieces they got up. Joe Toney's gone, but

609
00:28:34,960 --> 00:28:37,040
Speaker 3: it's still Patrick Mahomes, Andy Reid, how do you look

610
00:28:37,040 --> 00:28:38,080
Speaker 3: at the Chiefs this in general?

611
00:28:38,120 --> 00:28:41,600
Speaker 1: Before you answer, I'm doing this for the listener's benefit

612
00:28:41,680 --> 00:28:46,320
Speaker 1: more than yours. But check out this chief schedule Chargers

613
00:28:46,360 --> 00:28:50,720
Speaker 1: in Brazil, Eagles at home at the Giants, Ravens at

614
00:28:50,800 --> 00:28:55,520
Speaker 1: home at the Jags, Lions at home, Raiders at home,

615
00:28:55,880 --> 00:29:00,160
Speaker 1: Commanders at home, Bills on the road. It continues his

616
00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:04,000
Speaker 1: Texans down the line in December at Arrowhead. That's a

617
00:29:04,040 --> 00:29:06,520
Speaker 1: pretty tough schedule. Indeed, I didn't even read off all

618
00:29:06,560 --> 00:29:09,840
Speaker 1: the games. But you tell me what you think of

619
00:29:09,880 --> 00:29:12,960
Speaker 1: their chances, answered Johny's question knowing that schedule.

620
00:29:13,520 --> 00:29:16,160
Speaker 5: First of all, those first three tough games are all

621
00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:18,640
Speaker 5: at Arrowhead. Let me go back to her. And if

622
00:29:18,640 --> 00:29:21,560
Speaker 5: anybody saidn't paid attention is you can get the highlights

623
00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:24,640
Speaker 5: all over the internet. But the thing I liked the

624
00:29:24,680 --> 00:29:29,040
Speaker 5: most was listening to her just tear into him about

625
00:29:29,080 --> 00:29:32,880
Speaker 5: how he courted her, about that friendship bracelet she never got,

626
00:29:33,240 --> 00:29:35,320
Speaker 5: and how he thought because he knew the woman at

627
00:29:35,320 --> 00:29:38,239
Speaker 5: the elevator at Arrowhead, he would be able to just

628
00:29:38,280 --> 00:29:39,680
Speaker 5: get out and go down and meet her.

629
00:29:39,680 --> 00:29:41,160
Speaker 4: And they said, Hannah.

630
00:29:41,400 --> 00:29:44,080
Speaker 5: Doesn't matter who you are. And I thought she was

631
00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:47,120
Speaker 5: hilarious giving him a hard time. The hill hands the

632
00:29:47,160 --> 00:29:48,920
Speaker 5: whole time is pretty clear they're in love.

633
00:29:49,080 --> 00:29:51,280
Speaker 4: Now. Next thing you want to know, she's been in

634
00:29:51,320 --> 00:29:53,160
Speaker 4: love with a lot of guys, and.

635
00:29:54,960 --> 00:29:58,120
Speaker 5: Will he give her a ring at some point after

636
00:29:58,160 --> 00:30:01,080
Speaker 5: the season, and will there be.

637
00:30:00,880 --> 00:30:03,120
Speaker 4: As far as the Chiefs, they were fifteen and two.

638
00:30:03,120 --> 00:30:06,360
Speaker 5: Last year, and everybody act like they had a mediocre season.

639
00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:09,160
Speaker 5: A lot of people are picking Broncos to beat them.

640
00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:12,920
Speaker 5: I'm not till somebody dethrones them. I'm certainly not picking

641
00:30:12,960 --> 00:30:17,000
Speaker 5: them to be dethroned. And I do think they're not

642
00:30:17,080 --> 00:30:19,760
Speaker 5: going to the super Bowl. Super Bowl losers don't go

643
00:30:19,880 --> 00:30:23,200
Speaker 5: back to the super Bowl other than the Patriots one year.

644
00:30:23,640 --> 00:30:26,600
Speaker 5: So I think it'll be Baltimore Buffalo. But I think

645
00:30:26,680 --> 00:30:29,520
Speaker 5: Kansas City will still hold off the Broncos and the

646
00:30:29,600 --> 00:30:31,000
Speaker 5: Chargers win the division again.

647
00:30:32,400 --> 00:30:36,520
Speaker 1: Okay, General, we were talking about the Dolphins yesterday. Who's

648
00:30:36,560 --> 00:30:39,600
Speaker 1: the first coach to get fired? Let's talk about something happy.

649
00:30:39,760 --> 00:30:42,120
Speaker 1: I'm just kidding around, but it's kind of sad. I

650
00:30:42,200 --> 00:30:44,840
Speaker 1: like Mike McDaniel, But when you look at the Dolphins,

651
00:30:44,840 --> 00:30:47,040
Speaker 1: if it doesn't go well early, you get a bad

652
00:30:47,160 --> 00:30:49,720
Speaker 1: feeling about what they might be going through.

653
00:30:50,240 --> 00:30:51,840
Speaker 2: And you look at the Colts as well.

654
00:30:51,880 --> 00:30:54,920
Speaker 1: I don't know if if the new ownership, I'll just

655
00:30:55,040 --> 00:30:58,680
Speaker 1: put that in air quotes would react that badly to

656
00:30:58,800 --> 00:31:03,080
Speaker 1: say a two and five or worst start for Indianapolis.

657
00:31:03,280 --> 00:31:05,560
Speaker 1: But you tell me your thoughts on coaches who are

658
00:31:05,600 --> 00:31:08,240
Speaker 1: in trouble and who might likely go first.

659
00:31:08,720 --> 00:31:11,800
Speaker 5: Well, Stephen Ross has not been somebody pulling the plug

660
00:31:12,400 --> 00:31:14,960
Speaker 5: on his coaches during the season. I don't think he

661
00:31:15,040 --> 00:31:18,520
Speaker 5: will with McDaniel. The two tongue of our loa can

662
00:31:18,560 --> 00:31:21,160
Speaker 5: stay healthy. They got a lot of weapons on our offense,

663
00:31:21,880 --> 00:31:26,800
Speaker 5: and there's a constant speculation about Tyree Gill being traded.

664
00:31:26,880 --> 00:31:30,280
Speaker 5: Don't know why. They've got talent, white out talent and

665
00:31:30,360 --> 00:31:33,040
Speaker 5: running back. So much of what they do depends on

666
00:31:33,600 --> 00:31:36,840
Speaker 5: their defense. But there's people talking about the Jets going

667
00:31:36,920 --> 00:31:38,600
Speaker 5: past them, and I'm like, how.

668
00:31:38,480 --> 00:31:41,959
Speaker 4: Do you figure? And I think Miami will be second.

669
00:31:41,960 --> 00:31:44,680
Speaker 5: I don't think there'll be another team from they see

670
00:31:44,760 --> 00:31:48,440
Speaker 5: East in the playoffs other than the Bills, And I

671
00:31:48,480 --> 00:31:52,959
Speaker 5: don't think it'll be him and Carly is it ers Gordon?

672
00:31:53,080 --> 00:31:53,680
Speaker 4: Is that her name?

673
00:31:54,240 --> 00:31:55,800
Speaker 2: Yes? Show up there?

674
00:31:56,280 --> 00:31:59,120
Speaker 5: We don't have any idea about her as an owner,

675
00:31:59,480 --> 00:32:02,960
Speaker 5: and we until we see here another one that's going

676
00:32:03,040 --> 00:32:06,920
Speaker 5: to be in constant speculations. Kevin Stefanski, two time coach

677
00:32:06,960 --> 00:32:08,920
Speaker 5: of the Year. A lot of people wanted it fired

678
00:32:08,960 --> 00:32:12,480
Speaker 5: after last season. And he's got the quarterback issue. Somebody

679
00:32:12,520 --> 00:32:15,560
Speaker 5: said the other day, No, today, there's six quarterbacks in

680
00:32:15,600 --> 00:32:16,080
Speaker 5: that building.

681
00:32:16,120 --> 00:32:16,320
Speaker 2: Yep.

682
00:32:16,880 --> 00:32:19,520
Speaker 5: And of course we know Watson won't play. But and

683
00:32:19,560 --> 00:32:22,520
Speaker 5: now Sir Sanders has heard. But they got to figure

684
00:32:22,560 --> 00:32:24,440
Speaker 5: it out. And they're playing in a tough division in

685
00:32:24,480 --> 00:32:27,360
Speaker 5: which they are clear cut favorite to finish in the

686
00:32:27,440 --> 00:32:32,120
Speaker 5: last place. So we'll see that about Stefanski all season.

687
00:32:33,160 --> 00:32:37,360
Speaker 3: Okay, so Connor Or from si dot Com has picked

688
00:32:37,760 --> 00:32:39,960
Speaker 3: all two and seventy two games.

689
00:32:40,080 --> 00:32:40,760
Speaker 4: I saw that.

690
00:32:42,160 --> 00:32:44,440
Speaker 2: Do they do they balance out? Does he have the

691
00:32:44,560 --> 00:32:47,440
Speaker 2: right totally? I think yeah, he has it pretty sure. Okay,

692
00:32:48,800 --> 00:32:49,920
Speaker 2: he has the Colts.

693
00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:51,959
Speaker 3: I'm not gonna tell you what the final record is,

694
00:32:52,680 --> 00:32:56,000
Speaker 3: but he has the Colts starting this way. I want

695
00:32:56,040 --> 00:33:00,160
Speaker 3: you to tell me level of bad. He has the

696
00:33:00,160 --> 00:33:03,320
Speaker 3: Colts losing to Miami week one at home. He has

697
00:33:03,360 --> 00:33:07,200
Speaker 3: them losing to Denver at home. In week two, beating

698
00:33:07,240 --> 00:33:10,600
Speaker 3: Tennessee at Tennessee, losing to the Rams. He has the

699
00:33:10,640 --> 00:33:15,640
Speaker 3: Colts one in three after four weeks, one in three.

700
00:33:15,880 --> 00:33:19,440
Speaker 2: I'm here for that. Okay, how bad is that? General?

701
00:33:19,440 --> 00:33:21,160
Speaker 2: I mean, it's that's bad?

702
00:33:21,280 --> 00:33:24,200
Speaker 3: Is that Shane Stiking gets fired bad after four weeks?

703
00:33:25,280 --> 00:33:28,440
Speaker 5: No, I don't think he's gonna get fired after four weeks. Okay,

704
00:33:28,400 --> 00:33:32,480
Speaker 5: I think the new owner will she will listen to

705
00:33:32,640 --> 00:33:37,720
Speaker 5: Chris ballad or GM and he's He's got the Buccaneers

706
00:33:37,800 --> 00:33:40,000
Speaker 5: tied for the best record in the league, I think

707
00:33:40,040 --> 00:33:45,080
Speaker 5: with Buffalo and somebody else, and has them winning at Detroit,

708
00:33:45,800 --> 00:33:50,240
Speaker 5: at winning three huge road games against teams in which

709
00:33:50,240 --> 00:33:53,680
Speaker 5: they'll be underdogs, shocking Texans ten and seven. Where are

710
00:33:53,720 --> 00:33:56,320
Speaker 5: the odds that Texans gonna finish ten and seven three

711
00:33:56,400 --> 00:33:57,000
Speaker 5: years in a row.

712
00:33:57,320 --> 00:33:59,960
Speaker 3: Here's the thing, though, Mark, he's got the Colts star

713
00:34:00,040 --> 00:34:06,200
Speaker 3: arting one in three but finishing nine and eight. Oh,

714
00:34:06,360 --> 00:34:09,360
Speaker 3: starting one in three and finishing ninety eight for the

715
00:34:09,360 --> 00:34:11,839
Speaker 3: Indianapolis Colts. He's got the Texas going ten and seven,

716
00:34:11,840 --> 00:34:12,760
Speaker 3: winning the division again.

717
00:34:13,160 --> 00:34:14,640
Speaker 2: Now. I don't know that I totally.

718
00:34:14,960 --> 00:34:18,319
Speaker 1: Think deeply about the Colts, trust me. But he does

719
00:34:18,360 --> 00:34:21,520
Speaker 1: these things. He's probably thinking about the really the favorites

720
00:34:21,640 --> 00:34:23,560
Speaker 1: and how they might do, and then he just goes

721
00:34:23,600 --> 00:34:25,000
Speaker 1: down the line, has us losing.

722
00:34:25,280 --> 00:34:27,480
Speaker 2: He has us losing to here's what he has is

723
00:34:27,520 --> 00:34:28,560
Speaker 2: losing to I don't like this.

724
00:34:28,920 --> 00:34:34,360
Speaker 3: Jacksonville at Jacksonville week three, Baltimore week five, San Francisco

725
00:34:34,480 --> 00:34:35,800
Speaker 3: at home week eight.

726
00:34:36,200 --> 00:34:39,680
Speaker 2: Hangover game from the seat.

727
00:34:38,520 --> 00:34:44,000
Speaker 3: Then three in a row, Buffalo at Indy at KC,

728
00:34:46,040 --> 00:34:48,040
Speaker 3: and then going three and one down the stretch, the

729
00:34:48,080 --> 00:34:49,000
Speaker 3: only loss being to.

730
00:34:48,960 --> 00:34:51,520
Speaker 2: The Chargers on the road. So what's the final record?

731
00:34:51,560 --> 00:34:54,920
Speaker 2: Ten and seven? Okay? Would I take that over?

732
00:34:55,080 --> 00:34:57,160
Speaker 3: I was just gonna ask you, General, would you take

733
00:34:57,200 --> 00:34:58,200
Speaker 3: ten and seven right now?

734
00:34:58,360 --> 00:35:01,640
Speaker 2: Knowing nothing else? Just ten and seven? Would you take it?

735
00:35:01,680 --> 00:35:04,840
Speaker 4: For the Texans and winning the division? Sure?

736
00:35:04,880 --> 00:35:07,560
Speaker 5: The key is to win the division. I picked him

737
00:35:07,600 --> 00:35:11,240
Speaker 5: to be eleven and six. And I heard an interesting

738
00:35:11,280 --> 00:35:14,800
Speaker 5: thing on the radio. If the Texans were going to

739
00:35:16,320 --> 00:35:19,239
Speaker 5: not be as good as we thought, not taking into

740
00:35:19,280 --> 00:35:22,200
Speaker 5: the county offensive line, what is an area of the

741
00:35:22,280 --> 00:35:26,440
Speaker 5: team that might be the one that could be disappointing?

742
00:35:26,440 --> 00:35:29,040
Speaker 5: And I thought of running back in case Joe Mixon

743
00:35:29,080 --> 00:35:31,399
Speaker 5: doesn't play for a while. We have no clue when

744
00:35:31,400 --> 00:35:34,920
Speaker 5: he's coming back. We don't know about Nick Chubb, and

745
00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:37,720
Speaker 5: so they've got to me, they've got to be worried

746
00:35:38,160 --> 00:35:39,600
Speaker 5: about running back right now?

747
00:35:40,560 --> 00:35:42,960
Speaker 1: General, these preseason games. I don't know what to make

748
00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:45,080
Speaker 1: of it. We expect to see some Texans out there

749
00:35:45,120 --> 00:35:49,480
Speaker 1: on Saturday against the Panthers. Aaron Rodgers Steelers starters. They're

750
00:35:49,520 --> 00:35:53,919
Speaker 1: not going to play Dallas, not gonna play Dak Prescott,

751
00:35:54,960 --> 00:35:58,040
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes did play last week. Joe Burrow played a

752
00:35:58,080 --> 00:36:00,839
Speaker 1: bunch last week. It's so hard to fit figure how

753
00:36:00,880 --> 00:36:05,200
Speaker 1: to handle the three game preseason slate, as opposed to

754
00:36:05,320 --> 00:36:08,799
Speaker 1: years past when it became, when it was still four

755
00:36:08,840 --> 00:36:10,520
Speaker 1: at the very end of it, there's no way you're

756
00:36:10,520 --> 00:36:12,799
Speaker 1: playing in week four. If you're a starter, you might

757
00:36:12,880 --> 00:36:15,600
Speaker 1: play a little bit Week two and three, probably not

758
00:36:15,640 --> 00:36:18,480
Speaker 1: playing Week one, and that sort of became the norm

759
00:36:18,520 --> 00:36:19,320
Speaker 1: for a lot of teams.

760
00:36:19,360 --> 00:36:21,120
Speaker 2: But right now it's all over the place. I don't

761
00:36:21,120 --> 00:36:21,960
Speaker 2: know what to make of it.

762
00:36:22,640 --> 00:36:24,520
Speaker 5: When they go to the eighteen games and you only

763
00:36:24,560 --> 00:36:26,880
Speaker 5: have two games first, when they won't play second one

764
00:36:26,920 --> 00:36:29,880
Speaker 5: they will, or vice versa. I was talking to Spencer

765
00:36:29,960 --> 00:36:32,840
Speaker 5: Tillman today. Spencer was a rookie with the Oilers in

766
00:36:32,840 --> 00:36:36,160
Speaker 5: eighty seven when they had full pads, double days. Right

767
00:36:36,200 --> 00:36:38,920
Speaker 5: from the get go we're talking about they didn't have

768
00:36:38,960 --> 00:36:41,919
Speaker 5: any more injuries then than they have today. The only

769
00:36:42,040 --> 00:36:47,080
Speaker 5: differences Guys today are in better shape. They play longer

770
00:36:47,160 --> 00:36:50,640
Speaker 5: because they work harder, they eat right, and they're bigger, stronger,

771
00:36:51,040 --> 00:36:55,400
Speaker 5: and faster. And no matter how little they play or

772
00:36:55,400 --> 00:36:58,600
Speaker 5: how much easier it is, they're people are gonna get

773
00:36:58,680 --> 00:37:02,520
Speaker 5: hit and they're gonna get it hurt. And uh, that's

774
00:37:02,560 --> 00:37:05,480
Speaker 5: one of the problems talking about people. We want to watch.

775
00:37:05,520 --> 00:37:07,719
Speaker 5: I want to see the young receivers. I want to

776
00:37:07,760 --> 00:37:09,880
Speaker 5: see the young running backs. I want to watch here

777
00:37:10,040 --> 00:37:13,080
Speaker 5: with some more. I want to watch anybody that's new

778
00:37:13,280 --> 00:37:16,680
Speaker 5: in the offensive line. You want to see who's healthy.

779
00:37:17,120 --> 00:37:21,680
Speaker 5: I thought it's very interesting watching CJ walk out there

780
00:37:21,760 --> 00:37:25,400
Speaker 5: today in street clothes. But he wasn't even limping, and

781
00:37:25,440 --> 00:37:30,240
Speaker 5: he was walking fast, not Olympic fast, as a walker,

782
00:37:30,719 --> 00:37:34,000
Speaker 5: but he did not show any signs of a guy

783
00:37:34,040 --> 00:37:36,240
Speaker 5: that's got a problem with one of his wheels.

784
00:37:36,880 --> 00:37:39,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, that wasting my CJ. CJ.

785
00:37:39,080 --> 00:37:43,600
Speaker 3: Garner Johns, Yes, CJJ, CJ, GJ CD CD Deuce almost

786
00:37:43,640 --> 00:37:44,279
Speaker 3: got that down.

787
00:37:44,920 --> 00:37:46,359
Speaker 2: General, what do you make of the.

788
00:37:47,840 --> 00:37:53,040
Speaker 3: Anthony Richardson dislocated finger last week against the Ravens of Blitzy.

789
00:37:53,440 --> 00:37:55,839
Speaker 3: Probably should have seen coming and didn't and then got

790
00:37:55,840 --> 00:37:58,200
Speaker 3: blasted and it said the rest of the game, Daniel

791
00:37:58,239 --> 00:38:01,120
Speaker 3: Jones came in did some good things. Do you think

792
00:38:01,120 --> 00:38:02,960
Speaker 3: that's the type of thing that gives Daniel Jones that

793
00:38:03,080 --> 00:38:04,839
Speaker 3: much more of a leg up? How do you see

794
00:38:04,840 --> 00:38:09,200
Speaker 3: that competition? And has your mind changed at all about

795
00:38:09,280 --> 00:38:11,200
Speaker 3: Daniel Jones versus Anthony Richardson In.

796
00:38:11,120 --> 00:38:14,760
Speaker 5: India, he had that broken fingers pinky and he didn't

797
00:38:14,760 --> 00:38:16,400
Speaker 5: even know it. They had to show it to it

798
00:38:16,840 --> 00:38:20,000
Speaker 5: and it was dangling, and then they snapped it back

799
00:38:20,400 --> 00:38:23,040
Speaker 5: and he came back to practice. Now he should get

800
00:38:23,080 --> 00:38:26,040
Speaker 5: good playing time in this game because they got to

801
00:38:26,160 --> 00:38:30,879
Speaker 5: know they want to start Richardson. He's more dangerous than

802
00:38:31,080 --> 00:38:34,200
Speaker 5: Daniel Jones's. You know, he beat the Texans here. He

803
00:38:34,280 --> 00:38:37,279
Speaker 5: had that great touchdown pass here that was as good

804
00:38:37,760 --> 00:38:40,560
Speaker 5: as you'll ever see and they were high fiving in

805
00:38:40,600 --> 00:38:43,520
Speaker 5: the press box. But he is he is the biggest

806
00:38:43,600 --> 00:38:46,480
Speaker 5: mystery of any quarterback in the NFL. He can go

807
00:38:46,560 --> 00:38:49,640
Speaker 5: down as one of the all time bus and or

808
00:38:49,800 --> 00:38:53,399
Speaker 5: he can make Chris Balller look like a genius. He's

809
00:38:53,440 --> 00:38:56,280
Speaker 5: got to play more, but I think when the season starts,

810
00:38:56,840 --> 00:38:58,400
Speaker 5: if he's healthy, he's the starter.

811
00:38:59,440 --> 00:39:03,719
Speaker 2: General. Last well, what was it the last show? We did.

812
00:39:03,840 --> 00:39:06,680
Speaker 1: It was the Wednesday night show Portland Trailblazers. We talked

813
00:39:06,719 --> 00:39:11,320
Speaker 1: about this sold for four billion plus in a league

814
00:39:11,320 --> 00:39:13,239
Speaker 1: where the Lakers are worth what ten?

815
00:39:13,360 --> 00:39:14,080
Speaker 2: They went for ten.

816
00:39:14,200 --> 00:39:16,760
Speaker 1: I mean, you have some other franchises going for crazy money,

817
00:39:16,960 --> 00:39:19,359
Speaker 1: but this is the Portland Trailblazers in a thirty year

818
00:39:19,400 --> 00:39:22,319
Speaker 1: old building going for four plus billion. So what do

819
00:39:22,360 --> 00:39:25,400
Speaker 1: you think NFL franchises are worth in the next to

820
00:39:25,440 --> 00:39:28,960
Speaker 1: go around. We're thinking that the Commanders have already increased

821
00:39:28,960 --> 00:39:32,800
Speaker 1: in value by a billion or two since they were sold.

822
00:39:33,120 --> 00:39:36,200
Speaker 1: What are you thinking now of NFL franchise values as

823
00:39:36,239 --> 00:39:37,520
Speaker 1: we march on through time.

824
00:39:38,320 --> 00:39:41,960
Speaker 5: I looked at every evaluation by Sport It Go. I

825
00:39:41,960 --> 00:39:44,560
Speaker 5: always look at them at Forbes as well, and the

826
00:39:44,600 --> 00:39:47,560
Speaker 5: ones that have new stadiums. When you're talking about the Commanders,

827
00:39:47,600 --> 00:39:49,680
Speaker 5: think of what they're going to be valued at when

828
00:39:49,680 --> 00:39:52,920
Speaker 5: they get that new stadium built in the district where

829
00:39:53,000 --> 00:39:58,279
Speaker 5: Arth Kay was. It'll cause the skyrocket incredibly skyrocket. And

830
00:39:58,920 --> 00:40:01,920
Speaker 5: it doesn't matter what their value dead is what some

831
00:40:02,120 --> 00:40:06,360
Speaker 5: billionaire multi billionaire will play. Hey, you know, have the

832
00:40:06,480 --> 00:40:10,160
Speaker 5: Cowboys if to keep Jerry Jones and his family ever

833
00:40:10,280 --> 00:40:13,399
Speaker 5: decided to put the Cowboys on the market, they might

834
00:40:13,440 --> 00:40:16,799
Speaker 5: get twenty or thirty billion dollars, not their evaluation of

835
00:40:16,880 --> 00:40:24,399
Speaker 5: twelve billion. And someday the Saudis. You can't have foreign

836
00:40:24,480 --> 00:40:27,560
Speaker 5: investment in the NFL, But what if the next team

837
00:40:27,600 --> 00:40:29,840
Speaker 5: that's on the market and the Saudis who invest in

838
00:40:29,880 --> 00:40:31,480
Speaker 5: the NBA and NHL.

839
00:40:31,520 --> 00:40:33,919
Speaker 4: So well, you know what, We'll write you a check

840
00:40:34,000 --> 00:40:34,920
Speaker 4: for thirty billion.

841
00:40:35,960 --> 00:40:38,600
Speaker 5: Oh you know, the NFL be scrambling to change those

842
00:40:38,640 --> 00:40:42,799
Speaker 5: bylaws to allow foreign investment. It's coming because at some

843
00:40:43,040 --> 00:40:46,160
Speaker 5: point those guys, you know, they're sitting on the seven

844
00:40:46,239 --> 00:40:50,200
Speaker 5: hundred billion dollar fund over there, and if they want

845
00:40:50,200 --> 00:40:52,919
Speaker 5: to buy in the way they have Premier league teams

846
00:40:52,960 --> 00:40:56,680
Speaker 5: in soccer, they'll do it. And think how much that

847
00:40:56,719 --> 00:40:59,160
Speaker 5: would do for all the other franchises.

848
00:40:59,760 --> 00:41:02,520
Speaker 1: By the way, the Texans are ranked twelfth in NFL

849
00:41:02,600 --> 00:41:06,439
Speaker 1: franchise value at seven point one seven billion. I still

850
00:41:06,440 --> 00:41:08,239
Speaker 1: say if you actually sold them, they would go for

851
00:41:08,280 --> 00:41:08,719
Speaker 1: more than that.

852
00:41:08,800 --> 00:41:10,919
Speaker 4: Right now, they would go for more.

853
00:41:11,040 --> 00:41:14,439
Speaker 1: They're the highest valued NFL team to never have won

854
00:41:14,480 --> 00:41:15,240
Speaker 1: a Super Bowl.

855
00:41:15,840 --> 00:41:16,799
Speaker 2: So there's that.

856
00:41:16,880 --> 00:41:18,919
Speaker 1: And as far as never having been I mean far

857
00:41:18,960 --> 00:41:21,520
Speaker 1: and away right, but never having won a Super Bowl,

858
00:41:21,600 --> 00:41:24,839
Speaker 1: they're still worth more than the Broncos, the Chiefs, the Steelers,

859
00:41:24,880 --> 00:41:29,280
Speaker 1: Green Bay Packers, Minnesota. The list goes on. It's pretty amazing,

860
00:41:30,040 --> 00:41:30,480
Speaker 1: it is.

861
00:41:30,719 --> 00:41:34,920
Speaker 5: And in that list, the Warriors, the Knicks, and the

862
00:41:35,000 --> 00:41:39,719
Speaker 5: Lakers were the only three franchises in professional sports that

863
00:41:39,960 --> 00:41:43,479
Speaker 5: bumped the nfls like top fifteen or something like that.

864
00:41:44,040 --> 00:41:47,319
Speaker 5: No baseball, maybe the Yankees got up there somewhere. I'm

865
00:41:47,360 --> 00:41:51,680
Speaker 5: amazed at how low the Yankees are valued now, and

866
00:41:51,719 --> 00:41:54,560
Speaker 5: there are other baseball teams valued more than the Dodgers,

867
00:41:55,000 --> 00:41:57,320
Speaker 5: But the Yankees used to be right up there behind

868
00:41:57,360 --> 00:42:01,400
Speaker 5: the Cowboys. And the NFL has just wared baseball.

869
00:42:01,920 --> 00:42:06,239
Speaker 3: I mean, who wants the Yankees? Come on, man, dying franchise?

870
00:42:06,440 --> 00:42:11,239
Speaker 3: Maybe you did franchise? Who wants the Yankees? Yep, not me,

871
00:42:11,600 --> 00:42:14,719
Speaker 3: not me that right now? Okay, yeah, they own them

872
00:42:14,840 --> 00:42:17,080
Speaker 3: already anyway. So there's that, all right.

873
00:42:17,120 --> 00:42:20,000
Speaker 5: General, See that great picture that somebody did a meme

874
00:42:20,520 --> 00:42:24,600
Speaker 5: so Yankee Stadium, real picture in place of Yankee Stadium

875
00:42:24,600 --> 00:42:25,719
Speaker 5: set out to Bay Stay.

876
00:42:25,840 --> 00:42:27,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was great and it looks so real.

877
00:42:28,000 --> 00:42:30,359
Speaker 1: It looks so good. Yeah, L two Bay Stadium. I'm

878
00:42:30,360 --> 00:42:32,719
Speaker 1: sure they love that in the Bronx. General, thanks so much.

879
00:42:32,760 --> 00:42:34,040
Speaker 1: We look forward to seeing you Saturday.

880
00:42:34,160 --> 00:42:35,319
Speaker 4: Thank you very much, guys.

881
00:42:35,360 --> 00:42:37,320
Speaker 2: As always coming up. CJ.

882
00:42:37,480 --> 00:42:40,080
Speaker 1: Stroud spoke with the media a couple of his comments

883
00:42:40,120 --> 00:42:42,920
Speaker 1: on the way out, among other things here on Texans

00:42:56,239 --> 00:42:57,920
Speaker 2: C J Stroud. He looked good today.

889
00:42:58,520 --> 00:43:01,680
Speaker 1: Not everything was perfect for Bryce Young, for c J Stroud,

890
00:43:01,719 --> 00:43:03,120
Speaker 1: but you know what, it was fun to watch these

891
00:43:03,160 --> 00:43:09,240
Speaker 1: guys operate, especially CJ throwing some darts today, Nico Collins

892
00:43:09,280 --> 00:43:12,120
Speaker 1: in the end zone, Christian Kirk, some nice passes to

893
00:43:12,600 --> 00:43:14,880
Speaker 1: Exavier Hutchinson among others.

894
00:43:14,960 --> 00:43:16,560
Speaker 2: And what about c J.

895
00:43:16,680 --> 00:43:20,200
Speaker 1: Stroud today and how we felt about joint practice.

896
00:43:20,600 --> 00:43:21,080
Speaker 3: It was good.

897
00:43:21,120 --> 00:43:22,840
Speaker 6: I thought we uh, you know, it was good to

898
00:43:22,840 --> 00:43:25,719
Speaker 6: see another scheme, another team, And thought we did well,

899
00:43:26,120 --> 00:43:28,880
Speaker 6: you know, moved the ball, me down the field, scoring

900
00:43:28,920 --> 00:43:31,000
Speaker 6: the red zone, you know, make some mistakes, well, clean

901
00:43:31,040 --> 00:43:33,359
Speaker 6: it up and had a good two minute drib to finish.

902
00:43:33,440 --> 00:43:34,239
Speaker 6: So I thought it was good.

903
00:43:34,760 --> 00:43:37,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, that drive went to Christian Kirk.

904
00:43:37,080 --> 00:43:41,320
Speaker 1: The Kapper nice TD passed to the Aggie New texts

905
00:43:41,320 --> 00:43:43,560
Speaker 1: in this year Stroud on that catch.

906
00:43:44,239 --> 00:43:47,120
Speaker 6: Yeah, you know, so I'll try to look at those

907
00:43:47,120 --> 00:43:50,000
Speaker 6: moments as real live games. And you know, minute twenty

908
00:43:50,040 --> 00:43:52,920
Speaker 6: to win the game, needed a touchdown or to tie it.

909
00:43:53,719 --> 00:43:56,040
Speaker 6: And I thought, you know, like we moved the ball

910
00:43:56,080 --> 00:43:59,000
Speaker 6: really well and scrambled on that last play, you know,

911
00:43:59,000 --> 00:44:00,719
Speaker 6: how to get it on my hands because we were

912
00:44:01,239 --> 00:44:03,919
Speaker 6: less on time, couldn't take a sack. So just see

913
00:44:04,000 --> 00:44:05,359
Speaker 6: him in the back of Amazona. He made a heck

914
00:44:05,360 --> 00:44:08,000
Speaker 6: of a catch, contested catch. You know, you celebrate, you

915
00:44:08,080 --> 00:44:10,480
Speaker 6: have fun after that, and yeah, I think those those

916
00:44:10,520 --> 00:44:13,120
Speaker 6: type of scenarios help, so when the moments come, kind

917
00:44:13,120 --> 00:44:13,640
Speaker 6: of used to him.

918
00:44:14,360 --> 00:44:17,360
Speaker 1: So on field one at CJ. Straud and the Texans offense.

919
00:44:17,400 --> 00:44:20,560
Speaker 1: Also Davis Mills and friends against the Panthers defense. On

920
00:44:20,680 --> 00:44:25,600
Speaker 1: field too, Bryce Young operating against the Houston Texans defenders

921
00:44:25,640 --> 00:44:27,719
Speaker 1: and that was fun to watch as well. I had

922
00:44:27,760 --> 00:44:30,720
Speaker 1: my head on a swivel in this one. What about

923
00:44:30,719 --> 00:44:34,840
Speaker 1: CJ and Bryce Young Numbers one and two Young CJ

924
00:44:35,239 --> 00:44:37,760
Speaker 1: in the draft in twenty twenty three. They've been friends

925
00:44:37,800 --> 00:44:39,680
Speaker 1: for a long long time. He was on the same

926
00:44:39,680 --> 00:44:41,600
Speaker 1: practice field with his buddy today.

927
00:44:42,000 --> 00:44:42,600
Speaker 4: It's normal.

928
00:44:42,760 --> 00:44:44,560
Speaker 6: I see him all the time. That's my brother. Like,

929
00:44:44,800 --> 00:44:46,600
Speaker 6: they don't really make it a big deal. I think

930
00:44:46,640 --> 00:44:48,839
Speaker 6: that's for y'all, you know, like, but for us, it's

931
00:44:48,880 --> 00:44:51,359
Speaker 6: just saying seeing a France, seeing a brother hoping they

932
00:44:51,400 --> 00:44:53,319
Speaker 6: do well, hoping, you know, I know he hopes I

933
00:44:53,400 --> 00:44:55,839
Speaker 6: do well. I know I hope he does well. So yeah,

934
00:44:55,880 --> 00:44:57,680
Speaker 6: it's it's pretty normal. We see each other all the

935
00:44:57,719 --> 00:44:59,640
Speaker 6: time and all season, and you know, his parents are

936
00:44:59,719 --> 00:45:02,200
Speaker 6: you know, friends with my mom, and you know, it's

937
00:45:02,200 --> 00:45:04,400
Speaker 6: been great. So we just really build a brotherhood. So

938
00:45:04,680 --> 00:45:07,239
Speaker 6: it's just normal to me. I'm pretty sure the same

939
00:45:07,280 --> 00:45:08,759
Speaker 6: for him. But you know, it's all love.

940
00:45:09,719 --> 00:45:12,359
Speaker 1: So one element of Saturday is that Nick Kelly should

941
00:45:12,400 --> 00:45:15,000
Speaker 1: be down on the field after being in the booth

942
00:45:15,520 --> 00:45:18,480
Speaker 1: for Game one, so he'll get a different perspective. And

943
00:45:18,560 --> 00:45:21,279
Speaker 1: Stroud said he doesn't mind where Nick Kelly is as

944
00:45:21,320 --> 00:45:22,560
Speaker 1: long as he gets the plays.

945
00:45:22,800 --> 00:45:25,120
Speaker 6: I don't mind. It's not really a big deal to me.

946
00:45:25,480 --> 00:45:27,040
Speaker 6: Whatever he's whatever he's comfortable with.

947
00:45:27,600 --> 00:45:29,920
Speaker 1: Okay, that was not a very long cut, and we'll

948
00:45:29,920 --> 00:45:32,680
Speaker 1: go to the next one because Saturday is a game,

949
00:45:33,040 --> 00:45:35,759
Speaker 1: and what does CJ. Stroud want to get done in

950
00:45:35,800 --> 00:45:39,360
Speaker 1: this tilt with the Panthers at NRG Stadium is built.

951
00:45:39,160 --> 00:45:41,799
Speaker 6: Rhythm, you know, just build that rhythm to where you know,

952
00:45:41,840 --> 00:45:44,080
Speaker 6: we're clicking as an offense, clicking as a defense, clicking

953
00:45:44,080 --> 00:45:46,279
Speaker 6: at special teams, playing as the Texans. You know, I

954
00:45:46,280 --> 00:45:48,279
Speaker 6: feel like it's a lot of back and forth right

955
00:45:48,320 --> 00:45:51,720
Speaker 6: now in camp. We're kind of like enemies through today,

956
00:45:51,840 --> 00:45:54,000
Speaker 6: through practicing and cool right after. It to be nice

957
00:45:54,080 --> 00:45:55,719
Speaker 6: to be teammates, like you know who was against the

958
00:45:55,800 --> 00:45:58,200
Speaker 6: Vikings and you know, just like it'll be in the season.

959
00:45:58,239 --> 00:46:01,480
Speaker 6: So I'm excited for that, you know, like just building

960
00:46:01,480 --> 00:46:02,720
Speaker 6: that rhythm. Be good on Saturday.

961
00:46:03,840 --> 00:46:05,719
Speaker 1: And as we said earlier, this is kind of a

962
00:46:05,760 --> 00:46:09,760
Speaker 1: combined element where you have the practice on Thursday combined

963
00:46:09,840 --> 00:46:11,400
Speaker 1: with the game on Saturday. They got a lot of

964
00:46:11,400 --> 00:46:13,560
Speaker 1: tape to look at, a lot of evaluations can be

965
00:46:13,600 --> 00:46:17,360
Speaker 1: made as they head to Detroit next week. So next

966
00:46:17,360 --> 00:46:21,240
Speaker 1: week it'll be practice Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, some brand of practice.

967
00:46:21,239 --> 00:46:23,160
Speaker 1: I'm sure one of those will be pretty light, maybe

968
00:46:23,160 --> 00:46:25,680
Speaker 1: at least one, and then you'll have joint practice with

969
00:46:25,719 --> 00:46:28,840
Speaker 1: the Lions on Thursday. I really felt like the Wednesday

970
00:46:28,880 --> 00:46:32,120
Speaker 1: practice this week was kind of like a Friday practice

971
00:46:32,320 --> 00:46:35,960
Speaker 1: you'd normally have, and then you have this Thursday collision

972
00:46:36,080 --> 00:46:39,120
Speaker 1: with another team and then a breath there, then another

973
00:46:39,239 --> 00:46:43,040
Speaker 1: collision in an actual game situation, preseason context, of course.

974
00:46:43,320 --> 00:46:46,200
Speaker 1: So we'll see how Tamika Ryan's handles it, because before

975
00:46:46,200 --> 00:46:48,080
Speaker 1: you know it, it's cut time in the fifty three

976
00:46:48,160 --> 00:46:50,440
Speaker 1: and the practice squad and whatever else happens for your

977
00:46:50,480 --> 00:46:54,000
Speaker 1: seventy ish available players for the Houston Texans in twenty

978
00:46:54,040 --> 00:46:57,080
Speaker 1: twenty five. A couple of things to remind you of. Oh,

979
00:46:57,120 --> 00:46:59,680
Speaker 1: by the way, joint practice. I should have talked about

980
00:46:59,719 --> 00:47:02,880
Speaker 1: this with Johnny. There have been many at the Houston

981
00:47:02,920 --> 00:47:05,320
Speaker 1: Methodist Training Center. You know, he had the Dolphins around

982
00:47:05,360 --> 00:47:08,880
Speaker 1: CJ's rookie year, the Rams last year, and I was

983
00:47:08,920 --> 00:47:11,919
Speaker 1: reminiscing today. Al Davis has been on this practice field.

984
00:47:11,960 --> 00:47:14,319
Speaker 1: He was on a walker once with the Raiders here

985
00:47:14,320 --> 00:47:16,840
Speaker 1: in town. And you think about Jerry Rice late in

986
00:47:16,880 --> 00:47:18,320
Speaker 1: his career on this field.

987
00:47:18,360 --> 00:47:19,040
Speaker 2: A lot of.

988
00:47:19,000 --> 00:47:22,520
Speaker 1: Interesting players in interesting moments, but today was interesting as well.

989
00:47:22,520 --> 00:47:24,640
Speaker 1: When you get Bryce Young and CJ. Stroud out there

990
00:47:24,680 --> 00:47:26,360
Speaker 1: at the same time. All right, that's gonna do it

991
00:47:26,360 --> 00:47:30,320
Speaker 1: for the show tomorrow. Six o'clock Demiko Ryans. We'll also

992
00:47:30,400 --> 00:47:33,960
Speaker 1: have Jalen Knowl on the show. Gonna be fun. Let's

993
00:47:33,960 --> 00:47:36,719
Speaker 1: do it Friday evening six o'clock in advance of the

994
00:47:36,760 --> 00:47:39,520
Speaker 1: game on Saturday. Have a great night. Area forty five

995
00:47:39,600 --> 00:47:41,400
Speaker 1: is coming up next Go Texans.
