I love the fact that everybody's playing. 18 00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:46,279 Speaker 3: I think it's great and everybody available who has practiced 19 00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:49,440 Speaker 3: this week, and I don't know how many plays to expect, 20 00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:51,800 Speaker 3: but I think it'll be a nice little chunk of action. 21 00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:55,560 Speaker 3: Everyone overanalyzed last week and I knew that was gonna happen. 22 00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:58,200 Speaker 3: Everybody knew that was gonna happen. You're gonna overanalyze whatever 23 00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:02,760 Speaker 3: you see. It reminded me of when DeMar Hamlin went down. 24 00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:06,920 Speaker 3: People actually thought, wait, were the Bengals leading when that happened, Yes, 25 00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:09,480 Speaker 3: in the first quarter, right, people thought, well, the Bengals 26 00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:11,680 Speaker 3: were leading, so they probably would have won the game. 27 00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:15,320 Speaker 3: What you're gonna come up with the conclusion of the 28 00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:18,920 Speaker 3: winner of that night's action after a quarter, after less 29 00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:22,040 Speaker 3: than a quarter, and it was a close game as 30 00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:24,080 Speaker 3: it was. It wasn't like they put three touchdowns on 31 00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:25,920 Speaker 3: the board and were up twenty one nothing. Even if 32 00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:28,600 Speaker 3: they had done that, I would say, hey, with health, 33 00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:31,280 Speaker 3: with Hamler not going down, the Bills might have been 34 00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:33,959 Speaker 3: able to catch up. Just like you can't draw conclusions 35 00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:37,200 Speaker 3: about the future of a player through four throws or 36 00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:39,800 Speaker 3: Bryce Young through what he went through last week. Oh 37 00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:41,560 Speaker 3: he got hit hard. That means he's gonna get hit hard. 38 00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:42,560 Speaker 3: He's definitely gonna get hurt. 39 00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:42,920 Speaker 1: It's over. 40 00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:46,840 Speaker 3: Career over, sorry, Anthony Richardson, Look what a bad pick. 41 00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:51,080 Speaker 3: No career, it's over. He's a bust. One preseason game. 42 00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:55,840 Speaker 3: I looked up Peyton Manning's regular season debut just out 43 00:01:55,840 --> 00:02:00,080 Speaker 3: of curiosity. I'm curious about all these high drafted quarterbacks 44 00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:02,120 Speaker 3: and what they did in their first action, whether it 45 00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:05,240 Speaker 3: be preseason a regular season. I would have looked up preseason, 46 00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:08,919 Speaker 3: but on the NFLGSIS site, they didn't have the preseason 47 00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:12,400 Speaker 3: stats for ninety eight. That was his rookie year, right, 48 00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:14,359 Speaker 3: they didn't have it for whatever reason. I didn't want 49 00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:16,440 Speaker 3: to go that deep of a dive into it. But 50 00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:20,040 Speaker 3: regular season action they opened with the Dolphins. He threw 51 00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:21,880 Speaker 3: three picks. He threw a lot of picks that year, 52 00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:26,359 Speaker 3: and clearly Manning was a bust. So that's my point. 53 00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:29,640 Speaker 3: We're gonna overanalyze that. We're gonna overanalyze this, but it's 54 00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:31,280 Speaker 3: still gonna be fun to see. It's what we've got. 55 00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:34,200 Speaker 3: I want to see the team be competitive, execute Let's rock. 56 00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:36,280 Speaker 2: We've got a lot of people joining us on the 57 00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:40,440 Speaker 2: show today. It's a pregame edition of Texans All Access 58 00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:42,320 Speaker 2: and that means a lot. We got to hear our 59 00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:44,920 Speaker 2: pregame interview with Drew Doherty and that's what Jonathan Gernard, 60 00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:48,040 Speaker 2: we're here for Corey Lyttleton, We're here from Steve Goldstein 61 00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:50,080 Speaker 2: a little bit later. We got to kick off the 62 00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:54,960 Speaker 2: show on a Friday, a game day eve usually. 63 00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:56,480 Speaker 1: Playing Sunday, but still we play this on Friday. 64 00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:59,120 Speaker 2: Mark Vannimiers sits now with the head coach of your 65 00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:02,399 Speaker 2: Houston Texans, ready for his first game as head coach 66 00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:04,840 Speaker 2: at Energy Stadium, Tomika Ryant, coach. 67 00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:06,920 Speaker 3: The game is upon us. You have the joint practices 68 00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:09,080 Speaker 3: with the Dolphins, and I liken it to an NBA 69 00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:11,840 Speaker 3: series sort of. You're familiar with them very what's going 70 00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:14,239 Speaker 3: to be like playing against them after facing them this week? 71 00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:17,000 Speaker 4: It's going to be an exciting opportunity for our guys. 72 00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:19,320 Speaker 4: I feel like going against these guys for two days 73 00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:22,040 Speaker 4: in practice, our guys should be comfortable with the schemes 74 00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:24,160 Speaker 4: that they're going against. They should know the players they're 75 00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:26,200 Speaker 4: going against, and our guys should be able to play 76 00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:28,760 Speaker 4: a little bit faster because they know and they've seen 77 00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:31,800 Speaker 4: everything that the Dolphins have in a couple of days 78 00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:33,000 Speaker 4: of practice. 79 00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:36,320 Speaker 3: Whether it's a preseason game or a joint practice. When 80 00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:38,360 Speaker 3: the team makes a mistake, you don't like it, but 81 00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:40,720 Speaker 3: you have those teaching moments right so you can display 82 00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:41,720 Speaker 3: them later in the meetings. 83 00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:43,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, mistakes are great. 84 00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:46,320 Speaker 4: I love them in practice right, only in practice only 85 00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:49,560 Speaker 4: because they are great teaching moments. There's a lot for 86 00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:51,400 Speaker 4: us to learn from. Every rep is not going to 87 00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:54,560 Speaker 4: be perfect. But if we can learn from our mistake 88 00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:57,280 Speaker 4: and bank that away and learn from it and grow 89 00:03:57,360 --> 00:03:59,360 Speaker 4: and continue to grow, I think that's how you become 90 00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:01,320 Speaker 4: a better player, as how you become a better team. 91 00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:04,080 Speaker 3: What's it going to be like for CJ in round two? Here, 92 00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:06,720 Speaker 3: preseason game two, with the line in front of him, 93 00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:08,360 Speaker 3: the personnel you'll have out there. 94 00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:11,320 Speaker 4: Expect to CJ. Expect to see CJ, you know, see 95 00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:14,160 Speaker 4: a lot more accent. Expect our first team offensive line 96 00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:16,560 Speaker 4: to be there. Expect all our guys to be out there. 97 00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:19,440 Speaker 4: Expect them to be a little bit more comfortable, right, 98 00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:22,160 Speaker 4: playing longer, right to just let him get a good 99 00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:24,160 Speaker 4: feel for the game, let the game come to him, 100 00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:25,359 Speaker 4: and just want to see him go out and have 101 00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:27,400 Speaker 4: a really clean Chris operation. 102 00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:28,040 Speaker 1: All right? 103 00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:31,279 Speaker 3: What about the defense facing Tua and all the weapons 104 00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:33,159 Speaker 3: they have. This is valuable experience. 105 00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:34,599 Speaker 5: It's very valuable. 106 00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:37,400 Speaker 4: I mean their offense, they operate at a different tempo, 107 00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:41,080 Speaker 4: very fast at the skill position too. As he goes 108 00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:44,200 Speaker 4: through his read that progressions, everything is just seems like 109 00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:45,200 Speaker 4: it's sped up a tick. 110 00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:46,159 Speaker 1: It's very fast. 111 00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:48,480 Speaker 4: So It's been great for our guys because we have 112 00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:50,599 Speaker 4: to pick up that sense of urgency of where we 113 00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:52,680 Speaker 4: need to be and our zone drops, our eyes and 114 00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:56,080 Speaker 4: man covering. Everything needs to pick up a tick and 115 00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:58,400 Speaker 4: we've learned that lesson this week and I'm happy that 116 00:04:58,400 --> 00:04:59,920 Speaker 4: we were able to get that done. 117 00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:01,760 Speaker 1: In the joint practice sessions. 118 00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:04,240 Speaker 3: With special teams in week one, no teams called for 119 00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:06,840 Speaker 3: the fair catch on the kickoff because they want to 120 00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:08,520 Speaker 3: get to work in. Is that what you're thinking? How 121 00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:09,279 Speaker 3: do you feel about it? 122 00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:09,480 Speaker 6: Right? 123 00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:09,880 Speaker 1: For sure? 124 00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:12,680 Speaker 4: As special teams, we want to see, all right, you 125 00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:15,279 Speaker 4: want to see kick returners operate. You want to see 126 00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:17,800 Speaker 4: who can block on that front line, Like how can 127 00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:21,080 Speaker 4: guys operate and use their techniques so can we get 128 00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:24,080 Speaker 4: past the twenty five and return it so you won't 129 00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:26,840 Speaker 4: see any fair catch that I think throughout the preseason, 130 00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:30,640 Speaker 4: everybody is a chance, has a chance to evaluate kick returners, 131 00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:34,200 Speaker 4: evaluate guys that are depth players on your roster to 132 00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:37,360 Speaker 4: see how can they perform it during the special teams All. 133 00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:40,080 Speaker 3: Right, here we are all layers of the depth chart playing. 134 00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:42,960 Speaker 3: But how important is winning a preseason game? 135 00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:46,240 Speaker 4: You know, winning the preseason? And I I tell our 136 00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:50,200 Speaker 4: guys winning, it doesn't count, but it matters for me. 137 00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:54,200 Speaker 4: You still want to establish a mindset and you want 138 00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:57,680 Speaker 4: to establish this. Hey, this is how it feels when 139 00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:00,000 Speaker 4: you win, right, And that's so we have to establish 140 00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:02,400 Speaker 4: as a winning tradition. What does it feel like? This 141 00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:05,320 Speaker 4: is how you win. This is how you prepare to win. 142 00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:10,640 Speaker 4: So not important in the preseason because it doesn't count, 143 00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:11,960 Speaker 4: but it definitely matters to me. 144 00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:14,520 Speaker 3: Coach, thanks a lot, good luck, Mark. 145 00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:18,480 Speaker 2: There's something about hearing you meet us with the Miko 146 00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:21,000 Speaker 2: that just always makes me feel good. 147 00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:22,920 Speaker 1: It just makes me feel good. 148 00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:26,400 Speaker 2: I can't put my finger on it, but it just 149 00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:29,719 Speaker 2: makes me feel good. There's always a I saw coaching 150 00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:33,120 Speaker 2: the cafeteria and I say, coaches, hey, Johnny's smiles face. 151 00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:37,200 Speaker 2: You just you feel good being around Demko and hopefully 152 00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:39,480 Speaker 2: the team feels good tomorrow and plays well against the Dolphins. 153 00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:43,080 Speaker 3: Yeah, there's something about him where he's one of the 154 00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:48,440 Speaker 3: guys almost yet still somehow enough of a disciplinarian. Yeah, 155 00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:50,200 Speaker 3: because I know some things that he was talking to 156 00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:54,200 Speaker 3: the defense about this week and I thought interesting. And 157 00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:57,640 Speaker 3: he wants a very high level, high caliber of play 158 00:06:57,680 --> 00:06:59,960 Speaker 3: and demands it. I mean everybody wants it, but he 159 00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:03,159 Speaker 3: demands it from his players. So it's gonna be really 160 00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:07,000 Speaker 3: interesting to see how he handles things and the results 161 00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:10,720 Speaker 3: of those things as they get into adversity here, because 162 00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:12,760 Speaker 3: there's gonna be adversity. It's the NFL. I don't care 163 00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:15,040 Speaker 3: who you are, the Chiefs are going to experience adversity. 164 00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:18,200 Speaker 3: So you're gonna see it, and then you're gonna see 165 00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:20,600 Speaker 3: how he handles it and the results of whatever he 166 00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:23,720 Speaker 3: did to whatever prescription he had to remedy that. And 167 00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:26,560 Speaker 3: I can't wait for all of it, Johnny, and tomorrow's 168 00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:29,720 Speaker 3: our next little chapter here as they take out the Dolphins. 169 00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:31,000 Speaker 1: At home playing the Dolphins. 170 00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:34,040 Speaker 2: We got a chance to see them twice in joint practices, 171 00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:40,440 Speaker 2: and I don't know you mentioned how much everybody plays, 172 00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:41,840 Speaker 2: but I think we will see everybody. 173 00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:42,840 Speaker 1: Think it's gonna be good. 174 00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:46,640 Speaker 2: Who are kind of the players or just units maybe 175 00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:53,360 Speaker 2: that you're most intrigued by seeing on Saturday. And I 176 00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:55,840 Speaker 2: know it's kind of hard for us in some sense 177 00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:58,720 Speaker 2: because we're talking through the action. A little bit easier 178 00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:00,480 Speaker 2: for me because obviously I don't talk as much you guys, 179 00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:03,120 Speaker 2: But is there anybody that you're kind of focused on 180 00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:04,720 Speaker 2: when the game's over and you will go back and 181 00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:05,200 Speaker 2: watch it. 182 00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:08,160 Speaker 1: Anybody you're really truly focused. 183 00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:10,520 Speaker 2: On that, you're curious about how that player or group 184 00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:11,360 Speaker 2: unit performed. 185 00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:13,240 Speaker 3: Well, I'll give you one. Because everyone's excited to see 186 00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:15,880 Speaker 3: Tank and you want to see Dalton Schultz because he 187 00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:21,040 Speaker 3: makes great catches. He's a really great target, quarterback's best 188 00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:23,600 Speaker 3: friend kind of player. But I want to see Robert Woods. 189 00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:28,080 Speaker 3: I want to see Robert out there Bobby Trees with CJ. 190 00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:33,360 Speaker 3: Stroud and see how the professional veteran handles things and 191 00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:36,640 Speaker 3: what kind of performance he can have. In performance, I 192 00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:39,040 Speaker 3: mean maybe a catch or two, right, but can he 193 00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:41,080 Speaker 3: extend to drive? Can you make a big play? I 194 00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:44,480 Speaker 3: want to see how that works. Also, throw to the backs, 195 00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:46,880 Speaker 3: maybe a little bit for Stroud. Get a couple of 196 00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:50,080 Speaker 3: running back passes going. I don't know how long Damian 197 00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:52,280 Speaker 3: Pearce is going to be in there, but if it's 198 00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:54,720 Speaker 3: Singletary or maybe even Boone with the ones, I don't know, 199 00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:57,559 Speaker 3: in a third down situation, see how that goes. So 200 00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:02,000 Speaker 3: that's on the offensive side. On the defensive side, look, 201 00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:03,920 Speaker 3: we all want to see will Anderson do something. I mean, 202 00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:05,280 Speaker 3: that's a given. That's like, I want to see the 203 00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:07,480 Speaker 3: sun come up tomorrow. I want to see Will Anderson 204 00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:11,920 Speaker 3: do something thrilling, amazing, whatever. But let's see how the 205 00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:14,880 Speaker 3: layers of the depth chart perform. And Blake cash Man 206 00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:17,160 Speaker 3: did not practice this week, so I doubt he's gonna 207 00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:19,880 Speaker 3: play right in this one. Let's continue to watch that 208 00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:22,640 Speaker 3: linebacking career. You asked for a position group, that's the 209 00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:25,400 Speaker 3: position group I'm focused on there. But how about this 210 00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:30,480 Speaker 3: Jimmy Ward. Jimmy Ward out there with Petree, Let's make 211 00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:33,560 Speaker 3: some noise, Let's make some music together. Because those two 212 00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:37,440 Speaker 3: guys had nice practices in the joint sessions with the Dolphins. 213 00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:38,880 Speaker 3: Let's see them have a nice game. 214 00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:41,040 Speaker 1: And they won't have to pull up either. 215 00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:43,600 Speaker 2: There were a few times they had to pull up 216 00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:47,640 Speaker 2: and not take some legal shots that they could have 217 00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:50,439 Speaker 2: taken against Dolphins, and now they don't have to do 218 00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:54,040 Speaker 2: it's a game situation. They'll still be looking to protect everybody. 219 00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:57,000 Speaker 2: It's preseason and they understand that. But there's a physical 220 00:09:57,040 --> 00:10:00,360 Speaker 2: presence with those two. It's safety offensively for me. I 221 00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:02,200 Speaker 2: don't know how much he'll play because you just got 222 00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:05,040 Speaker 2: back this week, so I'm not totally sure how much 223 00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:07,320 Speaker 2: is gonna play, but I want to see Tea Quatoriano 224 00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:10,240 Speaker 2: do something, whether it's blocking at the line of scrimmage, 225 00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:12,320 Speaker 2: whether it's making a catchdown the seam or in the 226 00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:14,880 Speaker 2: red zone. I want to see him do something. So 227 00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:17,840 Speaker 2: I'm gonna go Teaching Quatoriano at tight end will be 228 00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:20,760 Speaker 2: definitely one that I'm watching, and then the guy we're 229 00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:24,880 Speaker 2: gonna hear from later in the show. I'm really excited 230 00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:28,120 Speaker 2: about the way he played in practice and these two 231 00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:28,920 Speaker 2: joint practices. 232 00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:30,760 Speaker 1: I thought John Grenard was fantastic. 233 00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:33,360 Speaker 2: I thought the Dolphins had all kinds of trouble with John, 234 00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:36,080 Speaker 2: and a lot of it A lot of it was 235 00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:40,800 Speaker 2: that he You know, everybody in the league has a 236 00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:43,600 Speaker 2: pet move. They have one move that they go to. Okay, 237 00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:46,000 Speaker 2: I do this move. I know what Jacob Martin's is. 238 00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:49,360 Speaker 2: We talk about it all the time. Everybody's got a 239 00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:52,880 Speaker 2: pet move that they go to. I feel like John's 240 00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:55,280 Speaker 2: got a couple that he can go to, a couple 241 00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:58,040 Speaker 2: of three. I saw three or four different moves in 242 00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:00,760 Speaker 2: one on ones and I love seeing that and I 243 00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:03,640 Speaker 2: love seeing him try different things. But he was really 244 00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:05,480 Speaker 2: difficult for the Dolphins to block. 245 00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:06,880 Speaker 3: All right, Can I give you a couple of things 246 00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:10,400 Speaker 3: from the production meeting with him? Okay, long arm you 247 00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:12,960 Speaker 3: talked about that, my long arm move. Yeah, yeah, he's. 248 00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:14,679 Speaker 2: Got gotch For those that don't know, the long arm 249 00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:19,200 Speaker 2: move essentially is you drive your inside arm as hard 250 00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:21,520 Speaker 2: as you possibly can, extend it as long as you 251 00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:25,240 Speaker 2: possibly can into the defender, and that lengthens you as 252 00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:27,840 Speaker 2: long as a blocker. It lengthens you and keeps the 253 00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:29,880 Speaker 2: blocker from getting hands on you. So it's kind of 254 00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:32,240 Speaker 2: like a one arm bowl rush, right in some sense. 255 00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:33,920 Speaker 3: Well, it's what you do the vander kid when you're 256 00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:35,679 Speaker 3: just trying to hold his head and keep him from 257 00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:36,240 Speaker 3: swinging at you. 258 00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:37,280 Speaker 1: That's a good one, very good. 259 00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:40,920 Speaker 3: Plus. He also pointed this out. He said, I'm on 260 00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:44,360 Speaker 3: my fifth head coach if you include Romeo, it's his 261 00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:46,400 Speaker 3: fifth head coach. And I thought, oh my gosh, what 262 00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:47,840 Speaker 3: a way to begin your career. 263 00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:51,160 Speaker 2: Think about it. Beyond that, mark fifth head coach? How 264 00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:54,160 Speaker 2: many dcs has he had? Oh god, how many defensive 265 00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:57,959 Speaker 2: line coaches has he had? Every single year it's been 266 00:11:58,000 --> 00:11:59,840 Speaker 2: someone different. Yeah, I mean he had love you as 267 00:11:59,840 --> 00:12:01,840 Speaker 2: a if it's a coordinator for twenty one to twenty two. 268 00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:06,000 Speaker 3: But I mean, but John came in last year, right, John. 269 00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:07,280 Speaker 1: Came in last year, So that's been good. 270 00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:09,880 Speaker 2: But you know before that, you know, Anthony, we were, 271 00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:13,520 Speaker 2: I mean I was talking to John in the off season, 272 00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:15,199 Speaker 2: right before he left for the offseason. 273 00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:17,360 Speaker 1: So this was back in I don't know. 274 00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:22,120 Speaker 2: February or January ish, right after the season, and this 275 00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:24,079 Speaker 2: was before Demiko was hired. 276 00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:25,880 Speaker 1: And he said he went through all that with me. 277 00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:30,520 Speaker 2: He goes, John, I just want normal COVID season, banged 278 00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:31,720 Speaker 2: up in a couple of those years. 279 00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:34,600 Speaker 1: Coaching changes every year, coaching change five head coach. 280 00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:39,040 Speaker 2: I mean, let's have some stability, Yeah, stay healthy, have 281 00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:41,920 Speaker 2: some stability and go out. And I think if he 282 00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:43,760 Speaker 2: has all that, I think there's an opportunity for him 283 00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:46,160 Speaker 2: to do some good things. And what we've seen in practice, 284 00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:50,360 Speaker 2: they've been really really good things. And a guy that 285 00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:54,480 Speaker 2: understands d line play better than anybody is our good 286 00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:56,680 Speaker 2: friend Indy Clue. He'll be on the call with Kevin 287 00:12:56,720 --> 00:13:00,280 Speaker 2: Coogler and our guy Drew Doherty on Saturday after noon. 288 00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:03,600 Speaker 2: There'll be a national broadcast, so you'll catch Indi Klue 289 00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:05,760 Speaker 2: there with a chance to catch up with him about 290 00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:08,319 Speaker 2: a number of things, including this one against. 291 00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:10,760 Speaker 3: An offense and dy Kalude joining us on Texans Radio 292 00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:15,040 Speaker 3: Now and d fired up for preseason TV broadcast number two. 293 00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:17,839 Speaker 7: I am fired up. I think I'm just more fired 294 00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:21,280 Speaker 7: up to see some more football. Football season is finally here. 295 00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:25,920 Speaker 3: Yeah, so tell me CJ. Stroud's gonna play again. They're 296 00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:29,000 Speaker 3: not gonna arrest starters, They're gonna play everybody. Demika Ryan says, 297 00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:31,560 Speaker 3: I'm playing everybody. Your thoughts on that you've been in 298 00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:33,600 Speaker 3: these situations and what about their situation? 299 00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:37,439 Speaker 7: That's huge, Mark, because nowadays, and you know, I don't 300 00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:38,960 Speaker 7: want to sound like the old man in the room, 301 00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:41,920 Speaker 7: but we're so used to seeing starters and role players 302 00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:43,880 Speaker 7: not played, the guys who know that they're making the team. 303 00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:47,360 Speaker 7: So for Demico to be so adamant during the production meetings, 304 00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:49,800 Speaker 7: like everyone's playing, and then they try to get specific, 305 00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:52,640 Speaker 7: he said, no, if they're healthy, they're playing. That's that's 306 00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:56,080 Speaker 7: gonna be pretty interesting to watch the first team offensive 307 00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:57,160 Speaker 7: line blocking for CJ. 308 00:13:57,280 --> 00:13:59,040 Speaker 1: Stroud and it gets his defensive front. 309 00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:00,880 Speaker 2: And by the way, d you are the youngest in 310 00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:03,079 Speaker 2: this room, so you're okay, Mark, the oldest, don't worry 311 00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:05,880 Speaker 2: about that. You're good And yeah, I spent a lot 312 00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:11,200 Speaker 2: of time watching this Dolphins defensive front, and I was 313 00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:16,199 Speaker 2: struck by the length and size. They're all six five 314 00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:19,160 Speaker 2: six giving the interior guys, I mean, I think rake one. 315 00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:22,120 Speaker 1: Six eight, but they play at three four front. I 316 00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:23,600 Speaker 1: mean they're they're an odd front. 317 00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:27,400 Speaker 2: So having faced all camp, you're facing this four man 318 00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:29,280 Speaker 2: surface and all of a sudden you face this odd 319 00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:31,360 Speaker 2: front and then you got these different kind of shaped 320 00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:33,960 Speaker 2: line in your go against. How difficult does that become 321 00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:37,000 Speaker 2: for the Texans offensive line to adapt to that? I 322 00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:38,760 Speaker 2: know they've seen it for two days, but they haven't 323 00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:40,200 Speaker 2: seen an all training camp and now they got a 324 00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:41,280 Speaker 2: fire in a game against it. 325 00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:43,160 Speaker 1: How do you how do you kind of go about 326 00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:44,240 Speaker 1: doing that? How tough is that? 327 00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:46,240 Speaker 7: You know, that's a great point you bring that up, 328 00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:49,320 Speaker 7: because they are different type of rushers. You know, when 329 00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:52,840 Speaker 7: you look at Will Anderson, Jonathan Grenard, Jacob Martin, those 330 00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:55,560 Speaker 7: are like thin, fast, twitchy guys. And I'm not saying 331 00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:57,840 Speaker 7: Chubb and the rest of the front four for the 332 00:14:57,840 --> 00:15:01,080 Speaker 7: Miami Dolphins aren't fast or quick, but it's more of 333 00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:04,640 Speaker 7: those big, strong, technique driven type of rushers, So I'm 334 00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:08,120 Speaker 7: sure it takes probably about a practice or even a 335 00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:10,320 Speaker 7: couple of series to get used to knowing that, Okay, 336 00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:12,600 Speaker 7: this is a different type of Russier that I'm going again. 337 00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:13,280 Speaker 1: All Right. 338 00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:15,720 Speaker 3: I don't want to ask you to exhaust all your 339 00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:19,800 Speaker 3: TV broadcast material here, but I will so Tank Dell. 340 00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:22,080 Speaker 3: You had a nice little visit with Tank Dell. We 341 00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:24,600 Speaker 3: all saw what he did in the game against New England. 342 00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:27,480 Speaker 3: He'll play again against Miami. We've seen practice all week. 343 00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:30,160 Speaker 3: What were your impressions of spending some time with Tank Dell. 344 00:15:30,520 --> 00:15:33,800 Speaker 7: Off the field? Just a guy that really appreciates his 345 00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:36,760 Speaker 7: position in life right now. And I really appreciated that 346 00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:39,120 Speaker 7: coming from a rookie, you know. It was just a 347 00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:42,200 Speaker 7: guy that truly understood Man. I played at U of Ah. 348 00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:44,800 Speaker 7: Now I'm staying in town playing for a Houston Texan 349 00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:47,800 Speaker 7: team that's evolving. You could tell that he really knew 350 00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:50,560 Speaker 7: what that meant. And it was refreshing to see and 351 00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:52,760 Speaker 7: to hear that, because when I see him on the field, 352 00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:54,840 Speaker 7: I'm like, oh, man, that's a great player. I wonder 353 00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:57,680 Speaker 7: if he truly understands this opportunity in front of him. 354 00:15:57,800 --> 00:16:00,040 Speaker 7: And then you hear him actually talk about it. I 355 00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:02,120 Speaker 7: guess what jersey I'll be buying tomorrow. You know what, 356 00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:04,600 Speaker 7: once it out, you know my fat but I probably 357 00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:07,120 Speaker 7: can't put on a tank Dell jersey. That's for the 358 00:16:07,160 --> 00:16:09,320 Speaker 7: small that's for you, Mark, that's up for you to 359 00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:12,680 Speaker 7: wear the slim guys. But now all jokes aside, it 360 00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:15,360 Speaker 7: was just refreshing to see and hear such a young 361 00:16:15,400 --> 00:16:18,040 Speaker 7: guy truly appreciate what he's going. 362 00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:18,840 Speaker 1: Through and he going through. 363 00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:21,960 Speaker 2: Saturday night and with all the starters playing, we had 364 00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:24,160 Speaker 2: two practices against the Dolphins defense. 365 00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:27,080 Speaker 1: What would you like to see from CJ. Stroud on 366 00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:27,720 Speaker 1: Saturday night? 367 00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:31,120 Speaker 7: That's a good question because I don't know what they're 368 00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:33,720 Speaker 7: gonna throw at him. So what I would like to 369 00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:35,920 Speaker 7: hear after the game is that they opened up the 370 00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:37,960 Speaker 7: playbook and he was able to run the offense. 371 00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:40,080 Speaker 1: You know, I don't know what that looks like. 372 00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:43,880 Speaker 7: But if we hear from Slowik that, you know what, 373 00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:47,200 Speaker 7: we really challenged him mentally and he answered the call. 374 00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:50,760 Speaker 7: Then obviously this was more about the guys protecting him. 375 00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:52,480 Speaker 7: But I want to see him stand upright, you know, 376 00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:54,520 Speaker 7: I want to see him actually get time in the 377 00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:55,720 Speaker 7: pocket to make the plays. 378 00:16:55,760 --> 00:16:58,480 Speaker 3: Well, you were asking him in the production meeting about 379 00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:02,080 Speaker 3: taking snaps from center as opposed to the shotgun, and 380 00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:04,199 Speaker 3: it was interesting what he had to say about that. 381 00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:05,200 Speaker 3: It's a big adjustment. 382 00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:08,080 Speaker 7: I like hearing quarterbacks talk about their craft. That's why 383 00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:10,520 Speaker 7: I threw that question out there, and it was interesting. 384 00:17:10,600 --> 00:17:12,840 Speaker 7: You know, he talks about when he's in the shotgun 385 00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:15,720 Speaker 7: the peripheral, he has a chance to see east and 386 00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:18,760 Speaker 7: west and see the entire field. But it wasn't a 387 00:17:18,840 --> 00:17:21,280 Speaker 7: disadvantage being under the center because he said he could 388 00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:23,720 Speaker 7: focus on one half of the field. So just saying 389 00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:26,560 Speaker 7: and hearing him talk about the two different mindsets pre 390 00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:29,800 Speaker 7: snap just from being under center versus being a shotgun 391 00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:31,040 Speaker 7: was that was interesting to here. 392 00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:34,800 Speaker 2: Facing an offense like the Dolphins have a lot of movement, 393 00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:37,320 Speaker 2: a lot of misdirection, I mean a lot of stuff 394 00:17:37,359 --> 00:17:41,240 Speaker 2: that they ran this week, Indy from a defensive standpoint, 395 00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:44,639 Speaker 2: just overall in general, when you're facing a def an 396 00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:47,680 Speaker 2: offense like that where they're fake boot you know, fake 397 00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:50,160 Speaker 2: toss booting the other way or fake in the jet 398 00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:51,920 Speaker 2: sweep and go the other way, what do you want 399 00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:53,560 Speaker 2: to see from the defensive side of the ball and 400 00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:55,679 Speaker 2: imagine mental errors keep him to a minimum. 401 00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:57,040 Speaker 1: But what do you want to see from the defensive 402 00:17:57,040 --> 00:17:57,800 Speaker 1: side of the ball. 403 00:17:57,800 --> 00:18:00,440 Speaker 7: Not to think to still go off field. And it's 404 00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:02,760 Speaker 7: funny when you talk about that offense. It reminds me 405 00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:05,160 Speaker 7: when we used to play Denver and they went side 406 00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:07,359 Speaker 7: to side. They had the zone blocking scheme and it 407 00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:09,880 Speaker 7: took your aggression away because you want to get upfield. 408 00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:12,200 Speaker 7: But when you're getting upfield, as you know, you still 409 00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:15,520 Speaker 7: have gap responsibility. So when those gaps are moving east 410 00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:17,359 Speaker 7: and west, you start have to think. Then you have 411 00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:19,919 Speaker 7: to react. But you're not effective when you're doing that. 412 00:18:20,040 --> 00:18:22,919 Speaker 7: So I would love to see Jonathan Grenard, will and 413 00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:24,879 Speaker 7: Anderson those guys say, you know what, if that's what 414 00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:26,600 Speaker 7: you're gonna do, that's cute, but I'm still going to 415 00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:27,840 Speaker 7: change the line of scrimmage. 416 00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:31,879 Speaker 3: And d Kalud joining us and D the Texans organization 417 00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:35,119 Speaker 3: as somebody who played here and you're involved with it 418 00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:38,440 Speaker 3: now with broadcasting whatever, and you've done talk radio for years, 419 00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:40,720 Speaker 3: what do you make of where the organization is going? 420 00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:43,320 Speaker 3: With the h Town made stuff, the leaning into the 421 00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:47,480 Speaker 3: Houston presence here being from h Town, what do you 422 00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:48,159 Speaker 3: make of all of that? 423 00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:51,840 Speaker 7: You know what is cool seeing that side of it evolved. 424 00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:56,840 Speaker 7: It's cool to seeing that side of it accept, appreciate, 425 00:18:57,000 --> 00:19:01,119 Speaker 7: and embrace what's going on culturally with a younger generation. 426 00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:04,400 Speaker 7: It kind of reminds me of ll cool J. And 427 00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:06,320 Speaker 7: what I mean by that is this was a guy 428 00:19:06,359 --> 00:19:09,919 Speaker 7: that was famous as a rapper back in the early nineties, 429 00:19:10,040 --> 00:19:12,400 Speaker 7: but he's still relevant because he was able to evolve 430 00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:14,840 Speaker 7: with everything that's going on and then he started acting. 431 00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:17,800 Speaker 7: So even with the Texans, where in two thousand and 432 00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:20,840 Speaker 7: two being the first year, everybody was excited, but now 433 00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:25,199 Speaker 7: they're evolving. They're embracing the local rappers, the local musicians, 434 00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:28,840 Speaker 7: the local restaurants. It's just kind of cool seeing how 435 00:19:29,359 --> 00:19:31,520 Speaker 7: they're not just saying, oh, we've been doing it like 436 00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:33,520 Speaker 7: this for twenty years and we're gonna stay that way. 437 00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:36,760 Speaker 7: To see how they're embracing everything. And I'm telling you, 438 00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:38,680 Speaker 7: I have young kids. I have an eighteen year old, 439 00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:42,359 Speaker 7: eighteen year old, fifteen year old. They notice it too, 440 00:19:42,440 --> 00:19:44,119 Speaker 7: and they're like, oh, man, that you gear from the 441 00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:47,280 Speaker 7: Texans is cool, so good good job. Keep it up 442 00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:48,040 Speaker 7: Texans and. 443 00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:49,879 Speaker 2: D last week when you were doing a game, I 444 00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:52,880 Speaker 2: find myself doing this I try not to because I've 445 00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:56,280 Speaker 2: seen every single practice, every single rep of oirs. Joe's 446 00:19:56,280 --> 00:19:58,200 Speaker 2: want to see kind of something new. So when you're 447 00:19:58,200 --> 00:20:00,720 Speaker 2: watching keyon White of the Patriots, you kind of find 448 00:20:00,760 --> 00:20:04,119 Speaker 2: yourself watching the other side looking at some guys in particular, 449 00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:08,080 Speaker 2: like I found myself watching Tyrek this week, just like 450 00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:10,800 Speaker 2: enamored watching watching Tyreek Hill. 451 00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:11,800 Speaker 1: But you kind of fall into that. 452 00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:13,960 Speaker 2: As you're watching a game, Cup point out, hey man, 453 00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:16,639 Speaker 2: that guy's really good on the Dolphins side, And do 454 00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:18,880 Speaker 2: you feel bad talking about how good they actually are? 455 00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:21,600 Speaker 7: You know what? I want to do that, But Vandermir 456 00:20:21,760 --> 00:20:24,439 Speaker 7: told me he's a body slam me. He said, you 457 00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:28,040 Speaker 7: better not talk about the opponent, So just stick to 458 00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:30,400 Speaker 7: the text. And so anytime I want to say, oh 459 00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:33,439 Speaker 7: that was great, I just think of Vandermirs body slaming me. 460 00:20:33,480 --> 00:20:35,160 Speaker 1: I said, okay, let me just focus on the tax 461 00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:36,600 Speaker 1: I'm deleting. I'm deleting. 462 00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:38,800 Speaker 2: My hair is a hit right now about Robert Hunt 463 00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:41,040 Speaker 2: as we speak, Oh my gosh. 464 00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:44,480 Speaker 3: Uh and the this stage of camp, how are their 465 00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:48,320 Speaker 3: bodies feeling? They all were happy to have joint practices 466 00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:50,880 Speaker 3: this past week because it was hitting somebody else. We've 467 00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:54,320 Speaker 3: been over that. But how are the bodies feeling at 468 00:20:54,359 --> 00:20:57,800 Speaker 3: this stage of camp because you're what three weeks in 469 00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:01,400 Speaker 3: three and a half, yeah, and they talk about getting 470 00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:05,119 Speaker 3: the callouses with the pads on or whatever terminology you 471 00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:06,679 Speaker 3: want to use. How do they feel? 472 00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:12,080 Speaker 7: You know, you're in that survival mode even though you're 473 00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:15,639 Speaker 7: still trying to get better. But and again, I don't 474 00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:18,639 Speaker 7: want to be this guy. It's not the same. You 475 00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:24,240 Speaker 7: can't training camp is not the same. Facts fact, So 476 00:21:24,800 --> 00:21:29,120 Speaker 7: if you were to ask me that question ten fifteen 477 00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:31,479 Speaker 7: years ago, I would say, you're just happy to get 478 00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:35,000 Speaker 7: out of bed. But now, and let me admit this, 479 00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:36,560 Speaker 7: they're smarter now. 480 00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:37,080 Speaker 8: You know. 481 00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:40,400 Speaker 7: The approach is smarter, the approach is more scientific. They 482 00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:44,360 Speaker 7: understand like you just can't do that to these athletes' bodies. 483 00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:48,639 Speaker 7: But there were times where you would lay in bed 484 00:21:48,840 --> 00:21:51,399 Speaker 7: in Lehigh University, if you're in training camp with the 485 00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:54,800 Speaker 7: philade w egos, and I remember thinking I can't even move, 486 00:21:55,040 --> 00:21:56,919 Speaker 7: like how much? Like I'm not even trying to be 487 00:21:56,920 --> 00:21:59,560 Speaker 7: funny like I was. Actually I was laying in bed 488 00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:01,800 Speaker 7: like I don't know what I'm gonna do, Like I 489 00:22:01,840 --> 00:22:04,080 Speaker 7: can't move. My alarm's about to go off in ten 490 00:22:04,160 --> 00:22:06,240 Speaker 7: minutes and I'm supposed to go through a two hour 491 00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:09,199 Speaker 7: padded practice And I don't know if they feel that 492 00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:12,320 Speaker 7: way now. It still hurts and they're still sore. You know. 493 00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:14,280 Speaker 7: We talked to the players and they're talking about the 494 00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:16,920 Speaker 7: cold top treatment, how they need it. But yeah, I 495 00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:20,119 Speaker 7: don't think it's quite as intense as early you know, 496 00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:21,160 Speaker 7: nineties and early two. 497 00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:23,120 Speaker 3: How could that be good for you if you felt 498 00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:25,080 Speaker 3: like that other people felt like that? How does that 499 00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:27,960 Speaker 3: strong mentally strong? I mean, there are other ways to 500 00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:29,280 Speaker 3: build mental strength. 501 00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:31,360 Speaker 7: But it's funny you say that, like you think you're 502 00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:33,119 Speaker 7: the only one going through it at the time. It's 503 00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:35,080 Speaker 7: kind of like the whole mental health like you know, 504 00:22:35,160 --> 00:22:38,680 Speaker 7: other people are experiencing. I remember thinking like something's wrong 505 00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:40,719 Speaker 7: with me, like maybe this isn't for me. Then it 506 00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:44,320 Speaker 7: wasn't until I retired and Bobby Taylor and I were 507 00:22:44,359 --> 00:22:46,400 Speaker 7: just talking and he was all, you. 508 00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:46,960 Speaker 1: Felt that way. 509 00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:49,120 Speaker 7: I felt that way also, and I was like, wow, 510 00:22:49,119 --> 00:22:50,639 Speaker 7: I wish I would have known that as a player. 511 00:22:50,680 --> 00:22:53,000 Speaker 3: That was Andy Reid, right, that was oh yes, So 512 00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:56,480 Speaker 3: first seven practices. I got to imagine he's I got 513 00:22:56,520 --> 00:22:58,560 Speaker 3: to think he's changed as a head coach. He has 514 00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:00,560 Speaker 3: to have the rules forced that, right. 515 00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:03,720 Speaker 7: The rules force it. He's changed, but he's still my 516 00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:05,959 Speaker 7: guys are going to play. He has the best player 517 00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:09,280 Speaker 7: in football in Patrick Mahomes. Can I say that, are 518 00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:11,879 Speaker 7: you about to beat me up? Okay? And Patrick Mahomes 519 00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:16,679 Speaker 7: are and he plays in preseason games. So you know, 520 00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:19,080 Speaker 7: Andy Reid has changed where he's had to, but he 521 00:23:19,119 --> 00:23:20,800 Speaker 7: still has that same mindset. 522 00:23:21,320 --> 00:23:24,520 Speaker 2: Two hours of practice and a half hour meeting or 523 00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:27,240 Speaker 2: two hour meeting and half our practice? 524 00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:31,240 Speaker 1: What did you take meetings? I'll be people don't realize this. 525 00:23:31,280 --> 00:23:33,159 Speaker 1: I remember when I want that's a strong question. I 526 00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:33,959 Speaker 1: was playing college. 527 00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:36,840 Speaker 2: I remember we would have these hour meetings before our 528 00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:39,000 Speaker 2: two days, and I thought the meetings were just hell, 529 00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:43,119 Speaker 2: hell too long, like too long, like we just get 530 00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:44,840 Speaker 2: us on a So what would you rather do two 531 00:23:44,840 --> 00:23:47,960 Speaker 2: ours practice, half our meeting or half our practice to 532 00:23:48,040 --> 00:23:48,480 Speaker 2: our meeting? 533 00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:53,160 Speaker 7: As a player, Yeah, see here, that's a great question 534 00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:54,920 Speaker 7: because now it's going to be and I know you 535 00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:57,359 Speaker 7: probably just answer the damn question, but it's going to 536 00:23:57,400 --> 00:23:59,880 Speaker 7: be as a young player versus as a. 537 00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:02,240 Speaker 1: You know, once you know what you're doing, you're gonna 538 00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:02,639 Speaker 1: be back. 539 00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:05,199 Speaker 7: There there exactly because once you know, you're like, you know, 540 00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:07,400 Speaker 7: I'd rather just go practice and have thirty minute meetings, 541 00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:09,760 Speaker 7: But early on, you know you want to learn as 542 00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:12,240 Speaker 7: much as you can. So I would say, as an 543 00:24:12,320 --> 00:24:15,760 Speaker 7: experienced vet who knows his playbook, I'd rather be out 544 00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:18,359 Speaker 7: there for two hours and in the meetings for thirty minutes. 545 00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:21,680 Speaker 7: But it's so hard adapting from college to the NFL 546 00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:23,960 Speaker 7: as far as learning that playbook. Yeah, and there are 547 00:24:24,280 --> 00:24:26,879 Speaker 7: and again times where you're you're rushing through the meeting 548 00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:28,520 Speaker 7: like I'm not quite sure what I'm doing, but I'm 549 00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:30,639 Speaker 7: just go out there. Where you would rather have the 550 00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:33,000 Speaker 7: two hours of meetings and thirty minutes, just go with it, 551 00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:35,159 Speaker 7: Just go That's a great question. I've never thought of that. 552 00:24:35,240 --> 00:24:38,960 Speaker 1: This week against Miami, and you know there's Russian quarterbacks. 553 00:24:39,480 --> 00:24:41,200 Speaker 2: I don't know how many I know you play against Vick, 554 00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:44,840 Speaker 2: but I can't think I can't think of many other 555 00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:47,399 Speaker 2: left handed quarterbacks you ever played against. 556 00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:49,639 Speaker 1: Did that matter as a defensive line to that kind 557 00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:50,560 Speaker 1: of change your approach? 558 00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:53,199 Speaker 2: In fact, you're facing a lefty like Tua as opposed 559 00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:55,080 Speaker 2: to facing everybody else who's right handed. 560 00:24:55,400 --> 00:24:57,639 Speaker 7: This is just me, and maybe this is why I 561 00:24:57,640 --> 00:25:00,320 Speaker 7: didn't have one hundred sacks and only thirty somethings. As 562 00:25:01,040 --> 00:25:04,359 Speaker 7: far as you know, left hand dominant right hand. I 563 00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:07,760 Speaker 7: never never brother didn't. I didn't even know. I didn't 564 00:25:07,760 --> 00:25:11,080 Speaker 7: realize soon now and I've played against him five times, 565 00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:12,280 Speaker 7: five times. 566 00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:12,600 Speaker 5: In my career. 567 00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:13,840 Speaker 3: Did that was the problem? 568 00:25:14,119 --> 00:25:16,840 Speaker 7: The problem? He was so fast and that again, so 569 00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:19,400 Speaker 7: many other things to think about with big I didn't realize. 570 00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:22,560 Speaker 7: I wondered, I wonder if that affects the DBS and 571 00:25:22,560 --> 00:25:23,760 Speaker 7: the people in coverage more. 572 00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:27,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm just yeah, but it all comes out, and 573 00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:29,240 Speaker 2: you know how it spins, all that kind of I 574 00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:32,919 Speaker 2: never really gave it much thought until watching Tua for 575 00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:35,800 Speaker 2: some reason in last year when we were in Miami 576 00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:38,000 Speaker 2: last year, and I was like, it just it just 577 00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:38,679 Speaker 2: looked different. 578 00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:39,760 Speaker 5: And I don't know why. 579 00:25:39,800 --> 00:25:41,640 Speaker 1: I don't know what it was. It just looked different. 580 00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:44,800 Speaker 3: So that slant that Petrie picked off, who has got 581 00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:48,800 Speaker 3: a square up? And and I guess, to that side, 582 00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:51,959 Speaker 3: it's an easier read. Not that it was easy, but 583 00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:53,240 Speaker 3: maybe it had easy. 584 00:25:53,400 --> 00:25:55,000 Speaker 2: He took it for granted because he looked he went 585 00:25:55,040 --> 00:25:57,119 Speaker 2: to the right side first, and he looked at the 586 00:25:57,200 --> 00:25:57,480 Speaker 2: right side. 587 00:25:57,520 --> 00:25:58,439 Speaker 1: He's like, oh, I look over. 588 00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:00,560 Speaker 2: Here, they'll they'll all go this way, and he didn't 589 00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:02,920 Speaker 2: even look back, so he just got lazy and Peter 590 00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:03,600 Speaker 2: picked him off. 591 00:26:03,720 --> 00:26:07,720 Speaker 7: I wonder if if the general manager, head coach of 592 00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:12,120 Speaker 7: their cognizant of okay, we because typically the left tackle 593 00:26:12,359 --> 00:26:14,159 Speaker 7: is a better player than the right tackle. So I 594 00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:16,359 Speaker 7: wonder if they're saying, you know what, we need to 595 00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:18,159 Speaker 7: have just as dominant of a right tackle if we 596 00:26:18,240 --> 00:26:18,960 Speaker 7: have a left handicle. 597 00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:21,719 Speaker 1: What was interesting about Titus Titus in college? 598 00:26:21,760 --> 00:26:24,119 Speaker 2: I remember the first game of the year, second game 599 00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:26,360 Speaker 2: of the year that played Auburn, and I'm watching him, 600 00:26:26,440 --> 00:26:26,919 Speaker 2: I'm studying. 601 00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:29,400 Speaker 1: I'm like, he's playing right tackle, and I'm like, man, 602 00:26:29,400 --> 00:26:31,720 Speaker 1: I thought he played left. I was so confused. I 603 00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:32,680 Speaker 1: was like, what the heck? 604 00:26:32,920 --> 00:26:34,680 Speaker 2: And then I watched him later in the year was like, oh, okay, 605 00:26:34,680 --> 00:26:37,480 Speaker 2: there is over left tackle, and I realized, oh, they 606 00:26:37,520 --> 00:26:40,840 Speaker 2: were swapping him based on the quarterback because the quarterback 607 00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:41,800 Speaker 2: earlier in the year was the left. 608 00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:42,400 Speaker 1: He gets hurt. 609 00:26:42,440 --> 00:26:44,040 Speaker 2: They moved him back over their side because they think 610 00:26:44,040 --> 00:26:45,960 Speaker 2: I was the right and so he was actually playing both. 611 00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:48,119 Speaker 3: That year and he thanks a lot for joining us. 612 00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:49,159 Speaker 3: Have a great broadcast. 613 00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:50,400 Speaker 5: Man. 614 00:26:50,520 --> 00:26:52,960 Speaker 1: Love having and d in the house. 615 00:26:53,040 --> 00:26:56,440 Speaker 2: Speaking of in the house, coming up next Steve Goldstein, 616 00:26:56,680 --> 00:26:58,320 Speaker 2: maybe the name of you don't know, but he knows 617 00:26:58,359 --> 00:26:59,879 Speaker 2: a lot about the Dolphins. 618 00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:01,960 Speaker 1: He'll tell you about that next right here on Texans 619 00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:04,399 Speaker 1: All Access.

I know, you guys have gotten your 645 00:28:09,240 --> 00:28:11,879 Speaker 3: separate ways in many different ways, but that was an 646 00:28:11,880 --> 00:28:14,320 Speaker 3: amazing time in South Florida sports history. 647 00:28:14,800 --> 00:28:18,000 Speaker 8: It was great, as you know. You know, at that time, 648 00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:20,359 Speaker 8: a lot of the teams were pretty new, you know, 649 00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:23,800 Speaker 8: the Panthers and the Marlins were kind of new teams, 650 00:28:23,840 --> 00:28:26,719 Speaker 8: and things were really just getting going in South Florida. 651 00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:29,080 Speaker 8: It was such a long time ago.

So those were definitely fun days in the morning. 656 00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:43,160 Speaker 5: There was no. 657 00:28:43,200 --> 00:28:45,480 Speaker 8: Social media then, yep, like you had to do the 658 00:28:45,520 --> 00:28:47,640 Speaker 8: homework in order to do a morning show. You could 659 00:28:47,760 --> 00:28:49,720 Speaker 8: just walk in and turn your phone on and everything 660 00:28:49,760 --> 00:28:52,600 Speaker 8: would be right. There was a it was a completely different. 661 00:28:52,280 --> 00:28:56,360 Speaker 3: Time, completely different Steve Goldstein play by play for Miami 662 00:28:56,400 --> 00:28:59,560 Speaker 3: Dolphins preseason games, and you do the Florida Panthers, so 663 00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:01,360 Speaker 3: you're a bit well. 664 00:29:01,640 --> 00:29:03,920 Speaker 8: Panthers made that run of the Stanley Cup Final, so 665 00:29:04,600 --> 00:29:08,840 Speaker 8: there was very little time between hockey and football. Training 666 00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:10,720 Speaker 8: camp this year is a few weeks in July, and 667 00:29:10,760 --> 00:29:11,280 Speaker 8: that was it. 668 00:29:11,520 --> 00:29:14,320 Speaker 3: All right, So you were a talk radio staple for 669 00:29:14,360 --> 00:29:17,000 Speaker 3: a long time. Then you went into the play by playfield. 670 00:29:17,040 --> 00:29:18,760 Speaker 3: I know you did some play by play at that time, 671 00:29:18,800 --> 00:29:20,600 Speaker 3: but set that up for me. How'd you get into 672 00:29:20,640 --> 00:29:22,600 Speaker 3: all of that to the level of being the Panthers 673 00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:23,640 Speaker 3: announcer and everything else. 674 00:29:23,720 --> 00:29:26,640 Speaker 8: Yeah, great question. You know, it's the old story in broadcast, 675 00:29:26,720 --> 00:29:28,840 Speaker 8: and this is good for everybody in any line of work. 676 00:29:28,880 --> 00:29:33,840 Speaker 8: Anybody listening. The guy that was doing Panther radio back 677 00:29:33,840 --> 00:29:35,640 Speaker 8: in the late nineties missed a plane. 678 00:29:36,720 --> 00:29:38,800 Speaker 5: I got a call at four o'clock. The Panthers were 679 00:29:38,840 --> 00:29:41,200 Speaker 5: hosting Wayne Gretzky and the Rangers. I grew up in 680 00:29:41,280 --> 00:29:41,560 Speaker 5: New York. 681 00:29:41,680 --> 00:29:44,600 Speaker 8: Arranger fan. Get a call at four thirty. Can you 682 00:29:44,680 --> 00:29:48,560 Speaker 8: do the game tonight? Chris Moore, who was the play 683 00:29:48,560 --> 00:29:50,240 Speaker 8: by play guy, was stuck in New Jersey. 684 00:29:50,280 --> 00:29:51,200 Speaker 5: He missed his plane. 685 00:29:51,920 --> 00:29:55,920 Speaker 8: I literally said, and it's a little corny bandy. I said, 686 00:29:56,440 --> 00:29:57,960 Speaker 8: not only can I do it, I've been waiting my 687 00:29:58,000 --> 00:29:59,880 Speaker 8: whole life to do this. Whoa and I filled in 688 00:30:00,200 --> 00:30:04,120 Speaker 8: the first two periods. Everybody realized, hey, this guy's pretty good. 689 00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:07,720 Speaker 8: It took many years, but later on, about seven years later, 690 00:30:07,720 --> 00:30:10,720 Speaker 8: when the job opened up, the Panthers offered me the job. 691 00:30:10,760 --> 00:30:12,400 Speaker 8: They said, hey, you want to leave the morning radio 692 00:30:12,440 --> 00:30:14,120 Speaker 8: to do the full time play by play. I was 693 00:30:14,160 --> 00:30:17,080 Speaker 8: the pregame and postgame host on radio, and I said, 694 00:30:17,880 --> 00:30:20,800 Speaker 8: uh yeah. And then a couple of years later, in 695 00:30:20,840 --> 00:30:23,080 Speaker 8: the mid two thousands, they moved me to TV and 696 00:30:24,320 --> 00:30:26,320 Speaker 8: sixteen years on TV doing the Panthers. 697 00:30:26,400 --> 00:30:29,720 Speaker 3: Wow, what's the landscape now, Steve in South Florida? When 698 00:30:29,720 --> 00:30:31,560 Speaker 3: you look at you mentioned MESSI coming in, which is 699 00:30:31,560 --> 00:30:35,480 Speaker 3: absolutely huge. The Dolphins are on the rise again. Well, 700 00:30:35,520 --> 00:30:38,080 Speaker 3: the Miami Heat had their run, but they're still very good. 701 00:30:38,120 --> 00:30:41,080 Speaker 3: And you know, you go to the conference finals finals. 702 00:30:41,120 --> 00:30:43,760 Speaker 3: I mean, this is a terrific organization. And you have 703 00:30:43,800 --> 00:30:45,440 Speaker 3: the Marlins doing pretty well. So what is it like 704 00:30:45,480 --> 00:30:45,920 Speaker 3: down there? 705 00:30:46,480 --> 00:30:49,000 Speaker 8: It's incredible, I mean, you know, and you still have 706 00:30:49,040 --> 00:30:51,640 Speaker 8: all the college football teams are you know, on and 707 00:30:51,680 --> 00:30:54,520 Speaker 8: off Hurricanes haven't been great. Gators haven't been great lately, 708 00:30:54,560 --> 00:30:57,000 Speaker 8: but you know, there's as many Gator fans in South 709 00:30:57,040 --> 00:30:59,640 Speaker 8: Florida as there are Hurricanes fans because everybody went to UF. 710 00:31:00,600 --> 00:31:01,920 Speaker 5: It's a great sports. 711 00:31:01,520 --> 00:31:04,080 Speaker 8: Market now and I really think, you know what, the heat. 712 00:31:04,400 --> 00:31:07,320 Speaker 8: The heat cultivated a lot of fans in those years. 713 00:31:07,800 --> 00:31:10,360 Speaker 8: Once Dwayne Wade came and they had Shack, they won 714 00:31:10,400 --> 00:31:13,360 Speaker 8: that first championship, and then of course Lebron you created 715 00:31:13,400 --> 00:31:15,680 Speaker 8: a lot of lifetime fans going to the finals four 716 00:31:15,720 --> 00:31:19,600 Speaker 8: straight years and winning it twice. So the landscape is great. 717 00:31:20,280 --> 00:31:23,560 Speaker 8: The population continues to grow, tons of sports fans, and 718 00:31:23,600 --> 00:31:27,320 Speaker 8: now Vandy, what we have is there's generations that like 719 00:31:27,360 --> 00:31:30,160 Speaker 8: when you were there, that were little kids, they've grown 720 00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:34,440 Speaker 8: up South Florida sports fans. Their parents have roots to 721 00:31:34,560 --> 00:31:37,440 Speaker 8: New York and Boston and Philly and all these other places, 722 00:31:37,440 --> 00:31:40,680 Speaker 8: but those kids were born and raised. You know, my 723 00:31:40,880 --> 00:31:44,120 Speaker 8: sons are now twenty one and nineteen, wow, and they're 724 00:31:44,120 --> 00:31:46,719 Speaker 8: Florida fans. You know, they go to Marlins games, they 725 00:31:46,800 --> 00:31:48,680 Speaker 8: go to the Dolphin games, they go to every Panther 726 00:31:48,760 --> 00:31:50,920 Speaker 8: game and love it and they're big fans of the 727 00:31:50,960 --> 00:31:54,959 Speaker 8: South Florida teams. So I think that's what's really changed. 728 00:31:55,000 --> 00:31:57,840 Speaker 8: Now we have a generation that's growing up that was 729 00:31:57,920 --> 00:32:01,600 Speaker 8: born and raised in South Florida to back in the nineties, 730 00:32:01,840 --> 00:32:03,440 Speaker 8: everybody was from somewhere else. 731 00:32:03,520 --> 00:32:05,720 Speaker 3: It's kind of like the Texans fans. The kids who 732 00:32:05,800 --> 00:32:09,040 Speaker 3: were kids when the Texans started are now adults and 733 00:32:09,360 --> 00:32:11,040 Speaker 3: we've been through some tough time. Steve, I don't know 734 00:32:11,080 --> 00:32:13,520 Speaker 3: if you've heard, but now a resurgence is on with 735 00:32:13,560 --> 00:32:16,120 Speaker 3: Demiko Ryans. So let's talk about the Dolphin. Steve Goldstein 736 00:32:16,200 --> 00:32:18,920 Speaker 3: with US preseason TV play by play announcer for the 737 00:32:18,960 --> 00:32:23,160 Speaker 3: Dolphins and also pregame host on the radio network. Is 738 00:32:23,240 --> 00:32:24,440 Speaker 3: Joe Rose still doing the color I. 739 00:32:24,480 --> 00:32:26,080 Speaker 5: Hope Joe Rose is doing color. 740 00:32:26,200 --> 00:32:29,120 Speaker 8: Jimmy ceffalo is on the call, and myself and former 741 00:32:29,160 --> 00:32:31,320 Speaker 8: Dolphin O J McDuffie doing the pregame shows. 742 00:32:31,360 --> 00:32:34,160 Speaker 3: Yeah, excellent. Well, tell me what is this year like 743 00:32:34,360 --> 00:32:36,360 Speaker 3: after the success of last year? 744 00:32:37,520 --> 00:32:40,520 Speaker 8: I think maybe not to the extent that the Jets have, 745 00:32:41,560 --> 00:32:44,800 Speaker 8: but pretty close. The chips are in the middle, they're 746 00:32:44,840 --> 00:32:47,880 Speaker 8: all in. They make the trade last year for Tyreek Hill, 747 00:32:48,320 --> 00:32:50,920 Speaker 8: they make the trade during the season for Bradley Chubb. 748 00:32:51,320 --> 00:32:53,640 Speaker 8: Then you go make the trade for Jalen Rams. So 749 00:32:53,760 --> 00:32:57,320 Speaker 8: general manager Chris Greervandy all these draft picks that he 750 00:32:57,520 --> 00:33:01,800 Speaker 8: compiled when they made the trade Tunsel coming here to Texans, 751 00:33:02,160 --> 00:33:05,000 Speaker 8: some other deals. Chris Career had all these draft picks. 752 00:33:05,200 --> 00:33:09,720 Speaker 8: He's taken them and he's turned him into star players. Right, So, 753 00:33:10,480 --> 00:33:13,000 Speaker 8: I think they're looking at it as two is now 754 00:33:13,040 --> 00:33:15,880 Speaker 8: in year four. Next year will be the last year 755 00:33:15,880 --> 00:33:18,160 Speaker 8: of that rookie deal. Still, you know, at a fairly 756 00:33:18,320 --> 00:33:24,239 Speaker 8: reasonable price. Jalen Wattle, Javon Holland, all these players they 757 00:33:24,360 --> 00:33:28,080 Speaker 8: drafted are within that price range, you know where you're 758 00:33:28,160 --> 00:33:32,320 Speaker 8: still you're not paying them an absolute fortune. Those days 759 00:33:32,320 --> 00:33:36,160 Speaker 8: are gonna end pretty soon for this team. So I 760 00:33:36,200 --> 00:33:38,640 Speaker 8: think they're all in on making that next step. They 761 00:33:38,680 --> 00:33:40,960 Speaker 8: made the playoffs for the first time since twenty sixteen, 762 00:33:41,720 --> 00:33:43,920 Speaker 8: nearly had that game won in Buffalo. 763 00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:45,040 Speaker 5: They were oh so close. 764 00:33:45,440 --> 00:33:48,000 Speaker 8: I think this year, not only to make the playoffs, 765 00:33:48,280 --> 00:33:50,200 Speaker 8: but win some games in the playoffs is the goal. 766 00:33:50,520 --> 00:33:53,800 Speaker 3: What's the relationship between Tua and the fans. The fans 767 00:33:53,880 --> 00:33:55,560 Speaker 3: sentiment about Tua. 768 00:33:55,360 --> 00:33:57,680 Speaker 5: Yeah, they love them. You know other people might not, 769 00:33:59,160 --> 00:34:00,600 Speaker 5: but the fans have love him. 770 00:34:00,600 --> 00:34:02,920 Speaker 8: Look the season he had last year in the games 771 00:34:02,920 --> 00:34:05,400 Speaker 8: that he did play a dozen games. They haven't seen 772 00:34:05,440 --> 00:34:07,480 Speaker 8: that since the Dan Marino days. I mean, this guy 773 00:34:07,600 --> 00:34:10,480 Speaker 8: was lighting it up. He was top ten and MVP voting. 774 00:34:10,880 --> 00:34:12,680 Speaker 8: You know, you remember some of the highlights the game 775 00:34:12,680 --> 00:34:16,880 Speaker 8: against Baltimore when they came from behind. The connection between 776 00:34:16,920 --> 00:34:20,160 Speaker 8: two A Waddle and Tyreek is nothing South Florida has 777 00:34:20,200 --> 00:34:22,840 Speaker 8: seen since Marino to the Marx Brothers, Duper and Clayton. 778 00:34:23,320 --> 00:34:26,440 Speaker 8: It's exciting and the fans are all in there or 779 00:34:26,480 --> 00:34:27,239 Speaker 8: there behind him. 780 00:34:27,320 --> 00:34:30,520 Speaker 3: Oh, very cool. Mike McDaniel was in a cubicle here 781 00:34:30,560 --> 00:34:33,400 Speaker 3: a long time ago as an assistant assisted assist and 782 00:34:34,040 --> 00:34:35,200 Speaker 3: what's he like to be around. 783 00:34:35,440 --> 00:34:36,440 Speaker 5: Yeah, it's pretty amazing. 784 00:34:36,480 --> 00:34:39,600 Speaker 8: The first time McDaniel was on the field as a 785 00:34:39,680 --> 00:34:43,759 Speaker 8: paid head coach. Tamiko is the middle linebacker, the Mike linebacker. 786 00:34:44,200 --> 00:34:47,120 Speaker 8: So that's how far it goes. You know, an incredible guy. 787 00:34:47,440 --> 00:34:53,279 Speaker 8: He's had his struggles. It's well documented alcohol issues for him. 788 00:34:53,560 --> 00:34:55,600 Speaker 8: He had to take a step away from the NFL. 789 00:34:56,120 --> 00:34:58,920 Speaker 8: He went to a league called the UFL, where he 790 00:34:58,960 --> 00:35:04,120 Speaker 8: coached in Sacramento. Great story he tells. Denzel Washington's son 791 00:35:04,320 --> 00:35:07,360 Speaker 8: was his running back. Yeah, back then, he knows what 792 00:35:07,400 --> 00:35:10,919 Speaker 8: it's like to kind of be you know, left out, 793 00:35:11,640 --> 00:35:14,400 Speaker 8: kind of at the bottom of whatever your profession is, 794 00:35:14,719 --> 00:35:17,879 Speaker 8: and appreciates every day that he's here. So a great guy, 795 00:35:18,800 --> 00:35:24,680 Speaker 8: always upbeat, always has time for people like us, appreciates 796 00:35:24,760 --> 00:35:26,560 Speaker 8: every single thing that he has, and I think that 797 00:35:26,680 --> 00:35:28,040 Speaker 8: permeates onto his team. 798 00:35:28,680 --> 00:35:31,200 Speaker 5: He's a pretty cool guy to be around. 799 00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:36,040 Speaker 8: Not the typical coach that you and I grew up 800 00:35:36,440 --> 00:35:39,600 Speaker 8: maybe getting to know and you know, interviewing in things 801 00:35:39,640 --> 00:35:39,960 Speaker 8: like that. 802 00:35:40,440 --> 00:35:42,560 Speaker 5: Not the typical coach. Pretty fascinating to me. 803 00:35:42,600 --> 00:35:44,759 Speaker 3: Actually, Well, when you grew up in the media, Don 804 00:35:44,800 --> 00:35:47,080 Speaker 3: Shula was still coaching the Peltics. Not to date you. 805 00:35:47,080 --> 00:35:49,720 Speaker 3: You are very young, you're ten years old, but Shula 806 00:35:49,840 --> 00:35:52,560 Speaker 3: was still there. Then Jimmy Johnson, who I think did 807 00:35:52,760 --> 00:35:57,080 Speaker 3: an underrated job putting together some talent in the organization, 808 00:35:57,200 --> 00:36:00,439 Speaker 3: especially on defense. Obviously they couldn't replace the quarterback after 809 00:36:00,520 --> 00:36:03,839 Speaker 3: that nineteen ninety nine season. But you tell me, were 810 00:36:03,880 --> 00:36:05,920 Speaker 3: the fans a little too greedy back then? With the 811 00:36:05,960 --> 00:36:09,120 Speaker 3: Wanstead years going to the playoffs, sometimes winning a playoff game, 812 00:36:09,200 --> 00:36:13,080 Speaker 3: sometimes not. But you had consistent winning seasons until it 813 00:36:13,120 --> 00:36:16,200 Speaker 3: bottomed out, and I always thought, then, hey, you better 814 00:36:16,200 --> 00:36:18,080 Speaker 3: be careful what you ask for because you don't know 815 00:36:18,080 --> 00:36:21,320 Speaker 3: where you're going, and they went into a long, darker period. 816 00:36:21,160 --> 00:36:22,399 Speaker 5: And they're kind of still in that period. 817 00:36:22,440 --> 00:36:24,239 Speaker 8: And last year they made the playoffs for the first 818 00:36:24,239 --> 00:36:27,200 Speaker 8: time since sixteen, but they lost in the first round, right, 819 00:36:27,200 --> 00:36:30,480 Speaker 8: and it was on the road. So yeah, you know, 820 00:36:30,520 --> 00:36:33,120 Speaker 8: you go back then, back in the sixteen game schedule, 821 00:36:33,160 --> 00:36:36,080 Speaker 8: the ten and six, the eleven and five, win one game. 822 00:36:37,040 --> 00:36:38,840 Speaker 8: I mean, you take that and run. If the Dolphins 823 00:36:38,880 --> 00:36:41,560 Speaker 8: would have done that in any of the last fifteen 824 00:36:41,680 --> 00:36:44,520 Speaker 8: twenty years, you would have taken that.

I know one guy who is absolutely jacked, 850 00:37:48,040 --> 00:37:50,560 Speaker 2: even more so than I am, and I'm John Harris 851 00:37:50,600 --> 00:37:54,400 Speaker 2: will playing Elson Southern Reporter. It's edge rusher defensive and 852 00:37:54,920 --> 00:37:55,800 Speaker 2: John Grenard. 853 00:37:55,800 --> 00:37:57,960 Speaker 1: He caught up with Drew to talk about this preseason game. 854 00:37:58,400 --> 00:38:03,560 Speaker 6: Jonathan Grenard g number fifty two defensive lineman for the Texans. 855 00:38:03,600 --> 00:38:04,399 Speaker 6: How are you, my friend? 856 00:38:04,480 --> 00:38:06,480 Speaker 9: I'm good man, trying to stay cool out here, but 857 00:38:06,560 --> 00:38:08,040 Speaker 9: you know, a lot of work to do, but we've 858 00:38:08,080 --> 00:38:09,879 Speaker 9: been grinding hard. I'm excited to see what we got 859 00:38:10,120 --> 00:38:10,640 Speaker 9: coming forward. 860 00:38:10,920 --> 00:38:13,080 Speaker 6: Do things kind of skip by now? You had a 861 00:38:13,080 --> 00:38:16,200 Speaker 6: first preseason game. You've got a few practices in here. 862 00:38:16,280 --> 00:38:18,120 Speaker 6: Now you've got another team coming into practice and you 863 00:38:18,160 --> 00:38:19,440 Speaker 6: play them on Saturday. 864 00:38:19,880 --> 00:38:22,320 Speaker 5: Take me through this last week and a half. Change 865 00:38:22,760 --> 00:38:23,360 Speaker 5: for you guys. 866 00:38:23,560 --> 00:38:25,200 Speaker 9: I think for us, the biggest kid is to not 867 00:38:25,280 --> 00:38:27,359 Speaker 9: change anything, you know, just continue to do what we do, 868 00:38:27,440 --> 00:38:28,880 Speaker 9: you know, working on our stuff, you know, things that 869 00:38:28,880 --> 00:38:31,520 Speaker 9: we're learning day in and day out, and it doesn't 870 00:38:31,560 --> 00:38:33,440 Speaker 9: change when we go when somebody else lines up against us. 871 00:38:33,440 --> 00:38:35,719 Speaker 9: You know, I think that it's it's a defense in 872 00:38:35,760 --> 00:38:37,040 Speaker 9: the offense on east side of where you have to 873 00:38:37,040 --> 00:38:41,480 Speaker 9: continue to just repetitively getting reps mentally physical reps. Obviously 874 00:38:41,480 --> 00:38:43,480 Speaker 9: a new scheme and new guys coming in, but it's 875 00:38:43,480 --> 00:38:45,400 Speaker 9: definitely exciting, you know, to see how I work with 876 00:38:45,560 --> 00:38:47,640 Speaker 9: transition to the you know, obviously against those teams. 877 00:38:47,800 --> 00:38:49,800 Speaker 6: Yeah, you know, you're an optimistic guy. You've been optimistic 878 00:38:49,800 --> 00:38:51,640 Speaker 6: heading into every season. But the optimism was a little 879 00:38:51,640 --> 00:38:52,640 Speaker 6: different this year, isn't it? 880 00:38:52,760 --> 00:38:52,920 Speaker 5: Yeah? 881 00:38:52,960 --> 00:38:53,560 Speaker 1: One hundred percent. 882 00:38:53,600 --> 00:38:55,719 Speaker 9: I mean I just think overall, it's just it's time. 883 00:38:55,760 --> 00:38:57,759 Speaker 9: I think it's time for us. Why not? Why not us, 884 00:38:57,800 --> 00:39:00,239 Speaker 9: you know, to turn the things around and to see 885 00:39:00,239 --> 00:39:02,719 Speaker 9: our work actually get the results. We want for our work, 886 00:39:02,719 --> 00:39:04,319 Speaker 9: and I think that's anybody. You don't play this game 887 00:39:04,320 --> 00:39:06,640 Speaker 9: to lose. So I think it's not just guys like myself, 888 00:39:06,640 --> 00:39:08,160 Speaker 9: but other guys on the team that you know, whether 889 00:39:08,160 --> 00:39:10,000 Speaker 9: there's one year deals you know coming from other teams, 890 00:39:10,120 --> 00:39:12,280 Speaker 9: or most of your deals, whatever it is, the mission 891 00:39:12,360 --> 00:39:14,880 Speaker 9: is definitely has always been the same. But then I 892 00:39:14,920 --> 00:39:16,520 Speaker 9: would just have to execute better, and I think overall 893 00:39:16,520 --> 00:39:17,239 Speaker 9: that's what we're trying to do. 894 00:39:17,600 --> 00:39:20,200 Speaker 6: You were one of many around the quarterback constantly when 895 00:39:20,239 --> 00:39:22,080 Speaker 6: you were in the game the other night. What's different 896 00:39:22,080 --> 00:39:23,960 Speaker 6: about you this year as opposed to your first couple 897 00:39:23,960 --> 00:39:24,640 Speaker 6: of years in the league. 898 00:39:24,719 --> 00:39:27,680 Speaker 9: I would say, majority slow down. I feel faster, stronger, 899 00:39:27,840 --> 00:39:29,560 Speaker 9: No things, just I've just seen a lot more now, 900 00:39:29,560 --> 00:39:31,600 Speaker 9: and I think just overall understand who I am as 901 00:39:31,600 --> 00:39:33,560 Speaker 9: a football player as a person, and I don't switch 902 00:39:33,560 --> 00:39:35,480 Speaker 9: anything up. I don't straight away from things that I 903 00:39:35,520 --> 00:39:37,279 Speaker 9: haven't done before or seen before, or I don't train 904 00:39:37,360 --> 00:39:39,759 Speaker 9: with doing things, so overall, just continue to just try 905 00:39:39,760 --> 00:39:42,200 Speaker 9: to make those things the best things and try to 906 00:39:42,239 --> 00:39:44,000 Speaker 9: perfect those things that I do really good. And I 907 00:39:44,080 --> 00:39:46,560 Speaker 9: just think that's the testament of you know, our coaching staff, 908 00:39:46,600 --> 00:39:49,759 Speaker 9: you know our training in the offseason and just continuously 909 00:39:49,840 --> 00:39:52,520 Speaker 9: just repeating these reps every single time to try to 910 00:39:52,520 --> 00:39:54,360 Speaker 9: make sure that we do perfected in one hundred percent. 911 00:39:54,560 --> 00:39:55,880 Speaker 5: Tell me about the scheme that you're part of. You 912 00:39:55,880 --> 00:39:57,319 Speaker 5: just brought up some of the coaches. Okay, you've got 913 00:39:57,320 --> 00:39:58,080 Speaker 5: a guy who's. 914 00:39:57,800 --> 00:40:00,160 Speaker 6: Been here in Jacques Casar, then you got change at 915 00:40:00,200 --> 00:40:02,040 Speaker 6: the top of the Ryan's and Matt Burke and all that. 916 00:40:02,239 --> 00:40:04,760 Speaker 6: What's it like that mix and what sort of scheme 917 00:40:04,800 --> 00:40:07,600 Speaker 6: they have you in that makes you so excited so 918 00:40:07,960 --> 00:40:09,480 Speaker 6: pumped up about what you guys are cooking. 919 00:40:09,680 --> 00:40:11,000 Speaker 9: Yeah, I think they see a lot of guys that 920 00:40:11,000 --> 00:40:12,640 Speaker 9: are hungry, guys that can go if you just let 921 00:40:12,719 --> 00:40:14,640 Speaker 9: them go. And I think the system is made for that. 922 00:40:14,719 --> 00:40:16,880 Speaker 9: I think just lets guys go. Especially when we're speaking 923 00:40:16,880 --> 00:40:19,280 Speaker 9: from upfront. We're attacked front, and I think overall it's 924 00:40:19,360 --> 00:40:21,000 Speaker 9: been that's you kind of can see that from where 925 00:40:21,000 --> 00:40:22,840 Speaker 9: Di Miko's been and obviously with Burke as well in 926 00:40:22,840 --> 00:40:24,640 Speaker 9: his past where he's been. But we're trying to just 927 00:40:24,680 --> 00:40:26,239 Speaker 9: bring that thing here and I think overall, I think 928 00:40:26,239 --> 00:40:28,399 Speaker 9: we're doing that a really good job. It's like I said, 929 00:40:28,400 --> 00:40:30,000 Speaker 9: with more reps, you get better at it. And get 930 00:40:30,040 --> 00:40:32,000 Speaker 9: you more comfortable at it. But I just think those 931 00:40:32,040 --> 00:40:34,640 Speaker 9: two just more physical and downhill. I love that about 932 00:40:34,640 --> 00:40:35,120 Speaker 9: a defense. 933 00:40:35,600 --> 00:40:37,840 Speaker 6: We see the iron sharpens iron t shirts. It's a 934 00:40:37,880 --> 00:40:40,400 Speaker 6: mantra you guys are living by. It's very very important 935 00:40:41,200 --> 00:40:44,040 Speaker 6: what Texans player is the iron that sharpens you? 936 00:40:44,880 --> 00:40:46,040 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, it gotta be lt. 937 00:40:46,880 --> 00:40:49,480 Speaker 9: Let me tumpson if it ain't Tunso it's tightest any 938 00:40:49,520 --> 00:40:51,640 Speaker 9: of the old line. But honestly, I mean, it's one 939 00:40:51,640 --> 00:40:53,320 Speaker 9: thing about when we all understand what we're trying to 940 00:40:53,360 --> 00:40:54,799 Speaker 9: achieve here, and I think that we all got the 941 00:40:54,800 --> 00:40:57,080 Speaker 9: same mindset and we understand that what it takes of 942 00:40:57,080 --> 00:40:58,719 Speaker 9: it and what it requires of us, whether we got 943 00:40:58,719 --> 00:41:00,680 Speaker 9: to you know, get to it during practice, even though 944 00:41:00,719 --> 00:41:03,319 Speaker 9: we can be cool in the locker room, but at 945 00:41:03,320 --> 00:41:05,080 Speaker 9: that same time, when it's signed to lock in, we 946 00:41:05,120 --> 00:41:06,840 Speaker 9: gotta go at it. And it's no feelings at it. 947 00:41:06,880 --> 00:41:08,920 Speaker 9: I mean, it's none personal. We just know it's business 948 00:41:08,920 --> 00:41:11,000 Speaker 9: and it's gotta work, gotta get done. So you know, 949 00:41:11,040 --> 00:41:12,799 Speaker 9: they may get pissed off, We get pissed off, but 950 00:41:12,800 --> 00:41:13,920 Speaker 9: it's all love at the end of the day. But 951 00:41:13,920 --> 00:41:15,759 Speaker 9: we also understand we're trying to get to which makes 952 00:41:15,760 --> 00:41:17,839 Speaker 9: it that much better when it's time, you know, when 953 00:41:17,840 --> 00:41:18,480 Speaker 9: it's not to go. 954 00:41:18,520 --> 00:41:21,000 Speaker 6: Play, Jonathan Gernard, we appreciate the time.
