Speaker 1: the next segment, because I can promise you the next segment,

15
00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:43,560
Speaker 1: we're gonna have a little Buddy How who talks about

16
00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:46,239
Speaker 1: one of my favorite shows and don't hate it's one

17
00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:47,920
Speaker 1: of my favorite shows. You'll find out what it is,

18
00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:50,400
Speaker 1: you'll find and you'll find out why we talked to

19
00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:53,239
Speaker 1: Buddy How. We also talked to Julilla Die. I went

20
00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:56,480
Speaker 1: forty yards with Julia Die, who is quickly becoming one

21
00:00:56,480 --> 00:00:58,600
Speaker 1: of my favorite players on this team. And one of

22
00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:00,880
Speaker 1: my favorites already on this team, has been since twenty

23
00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:05,760
Speaker 1: sixteen is DJ Reader and Drew a dirty dozen with

24
00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:08,360
Speaker 1: DJ Readers, so we will have all of that plus

25
00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:12,920
Speaker 1: in the lab crew me Drew Doherty talked about our surprises.

26
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:18,200
Speaker 1: Now we limited we limited it to two each, only two.

27
00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:21,240
Speaker 1: We could have gone a lot further, but we decided

28
00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:24,960
Speaker 1: to just do two. And these weren't guys that are

29
00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:27,640
Speaker 1: locks to make the team, but just guys that have

30
00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:31,800
Speaker 1: been surprises, maybe guys that had we had no We

31
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:36,000
Speaker 1: talked about positive surprises. Are there negative surprises? Probably? I

32
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:39,679
Speaker 1: guess nothing really maybe surprises the right word I guess,

33
00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:41,840
Speaker 1: But I mean I can go with it. You'll get

34
00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:43,120
Speaker 1: a little bit more and we do that. We'll do

35
00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:45,160
Speaker 1: that later in the show, but right now it is

36
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:53,120
Speaker 1: time for Oh it is the segment sweeping the nation?

37
00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:57,120
Speaker 1: Don't you love it? And we're gonna hear from two

38
00:01:57,160 --> 00:02:00,040
Speaker 1: people that went to the podium today, Bill O'Brien and

39
00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:03,480
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson. Let's put a quarter in the slot and

40
00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:08,320
Speaker 1: see when it comes up first. And we're gonna start

41
00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:13,080
Speaker 1: with the headball coach, Bill O'Brien, who was asked about

42
00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:17,000
Speaker 1: his two rookie lineman, Titus Howard and Max Sharping. And

43
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:18,799
Speaker 1: one of the things that gets brought up a lot

44
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:21,240
Speaker 1: about offensive lineman, and it gets brought up a lot

45
00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:25,320
Speaker 1: about the players the Texans acquire or bring here in

46
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:28,000
Speaker 1: trades or whatever the case might be, the versatility. The

47
00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:30,960
Speaker 1: word versatility, and some people sort of bristle at it. Well,

48
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:32,600
Speaker 1: you know, if you're versatile, it means maybe you're not

49
00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:35,040
Speaker 1: so good at one position or not. What Cutcher Bryan

50
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:39,799
Speaker 1: said today, He likes their versatility, but for young guys,

51
00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:43,120
Speaker 1: getting them at one spot is very very helpful. Wants

52
00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:45,640
Speaker 1: to lock them down at that spot. Luckily, with these guys,

53
00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:49,120
Speaker 1: they're very smart guys, so Sharping and Titus they've actually

54
00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:51,360
Speaker 1: picked up the assignments pretty well. You know, they know

55
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:54,560
Speaker 1: what to do mostly. Titus has played on the left side,

56
00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:58,239
Speaker 1: left guard, left tackle. Max has played right guard and

57
00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:01,160
Speaker 1: right tackle. So the versatil he's good, but you definitely

58
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:02,920
Speaker 1: want to hone in on what they're gonna be doing.

59
00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:05,960
Speaker 1: And I'm not sure that we you know that we

60
00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:08,680
Speaker 1: have that nailed down yet, and hopefully get through this

61
00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:11,640
Speaker 1: game and start to nail that down during next week.

62
00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:15,440
Speaker 1: Keeping these guys in one spot helps, but you do

63
00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:18,400
Speaker 1: like to see the versatility in preseason games. But once

64
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:22,120
Speaker 1: they get locked in one spot and maybe it's guard

65
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:24,280
Speaker 1: for both of them, maybe that's where it needs to be.

66
00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:27,040
Speaker 1: We'll see how injuries play a role in this. Obviously,

67
00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:30,880
Speaker 1: Titus right now dealing with an injured hand and so

68
00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:32,920
Speaker 1: he hasn't been at practice because of injured hand. But

69
00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:34,320
Speaker 1: it does look like he's gonna be ready to go

70
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:37,040
Speaker 1: by week one. But that's gonna probably make it even

71
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:40,000
Speaker 1: more important to keep them at one particular spot. Now.

72
00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:44,520
Speaker 1: Max Sharping is a he's a guy dropped in the

73
00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:47,600
Speaker 1: second round kind of after a lot of tackles were taken.

74
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:50,840
Speaker 1: And I remember thinking about Sharping when I saw him

75
00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:54,840
Speaker 1: at Northern Illinois. I remember the words economy of movement,

76
00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:57,560
Speaker 1: like he didn't have to move a whole lot, He

77
00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:00,560
Speaker 1: just moved where he needed to and he got guys blocked.

78
00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:04,000
Speaker 1: And sometimes did we take that for granted, you know, oh,

79
00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:07,360
Speaker 1: he didn't pancake a guy or he didn't look like

80
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:09,119
Speaker 1: an all pro in that block. Well did his guy

81
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:11,000
Speaker 1: make the play? No, Okay, he got his guy blocked.

82
00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:13,560
Speaker 1: Max Sharping does a lot of those things. Coach and

83
00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:16,080
Speaker 1: Brian said, this is what he likes about Max Sharping.

84
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:17,919
Speaker 1: I think he's played very well at guard. He plays

85
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:20,800
Speaker 1: very square inside, he doesn't get turned a lot. He's

86
00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:23,479
Speaker 1: very smart. He's a quick reactor there. It is, he's

87
00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:26,359
Speaker 1: a quick reactor. I like that. He's not the fleetest

88
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:29,120
Speaker 1: of foot, but he is a guy that can react

89
00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:31,600
Speaker 1: pretty fast. And then I've seen that in different drills

90
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:34,120
Speaker 1: that they've done. Another guy who's versatile is a big

91
00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:37,520
Speaker 1: day talking about the rookies, it's kind of a weird day, actually,

92
00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:40,120
Speaker 1: Charles a mana who or is the team calls him

93
00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:42,680
Speaker 1: Chuck Chuck a mana who. He can do a lot

94
00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:45,599
Speaker 1: of different things. He is versatile. He can rush anywhere,

95
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:47,520
Speaker 1: up and down a line of scrammage. It's good to

96
00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:50,159
Speaker 1: have a rookie like him around. And coach says, yeah,

97
00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:54,840
Speaker 1: he's very very versatile. Plays some five technique goes in there.

98
00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:57,120
Speaker 1: He actually plays pretty good inside. You know, he's got

99
00:04:57,200 --> 00:05:00,680
Speaker 1: good hand hand placement and hand usage and good footwork.

100
00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:04,600
Speaker 1: Four eye passing situations, maybe three technique. We've lined him

101
00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:07,400
Speaker 1: up over the center. He's played probably five or four

102
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:10,640
Speaker 1: or five different spots, So yeah, he can do a

103
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:12,440
Speaker 1: lot of different things. It's good to have him, you know.

104
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:15,880
Speaker 1: It's interesting. I've seen Charles on film and when he

105
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:17,640
Speaker 1: was at Texas. I don't know, I've seen him a

106
00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:21,359
Speaker 1: bunch of times. And I've seen big guys before. Like

107
00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:24,200
Speaker 1: I've been around this team. I mean I see big guys.

108
00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:25,720
Speaker 1: I mean, that's that's what I do. I see these

109
00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:28,119
Speaker 1: guys all the time. Charles a man who's a different

110
00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:31,719
Speaker 1: kind of big. The long arms, the length, how he's

111
00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:36,200
Speaker 1: filled out, it's kind of amazing the size that he

112
00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:38,640
Speaker 1: has and the quickness that he plays with. He's gonna

113
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:40,599
Speaker 1: be a factor on this team, I'm telling you, and

114
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:43,400
Speaker 1: that versatility's gonna help him. It's really gonna help him

115
00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:45,839
Speaker 1: going up against anybody from tackle to tackle. And then

116
00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:47,360
Speaker 1: if he's got to go rush the edge, he can

117
00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:49,560
Speaker 1: do that too. He did that the other night against

118
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:53,880
Speaker 1: the Detroit Lions. Now, the tight end spot is one

119
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:57,760
Speaker 1: that we have talked about. I've been asked about on

120
00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:01,839
Speaker 1: radio probably a million times, a million times. What are

121
00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:03,560
Speaker 1: they gonna do with the tight ends? What are they

122
00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:06,320
Speaker 1: gonna do with the tight ends? Well, it's good to

123
00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:09,760
Speaker 1: know that I'm not the only one having a little

124
00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:13,200
Speaker 1: bit of about the tight ends because like, what are

125
00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:16,440
Speaker 1: you gonna do because they've been so good, coach said,

126
00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:20,159
Speaker 1: The tight end roster bubble is gonna keep a lot

127
00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:22,640
Speaker 1: of people up at night. When you have a guy

128
00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:26,559
Speaker 1: like Daniel Fells that's coming here and played he's played

129
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:29,520
Speaker 1: really well. I mean, he had a nice game against

130
00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:33,479
Speaker 1: Detroit Um. He's practiced well. He's very mature guy. Jordan

131
00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:37,640
Speaker 1: Thomas who we drafted last year, Jordan nakein same those

132
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:40,000
Speaker 1: guys have played well. Jarella Adams has played well. And

133
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:43,039
Speaker 1: then you have Ka Holly Waring who's in the concussion

134
00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:45,719
Speaker 1: protocol right now. But you know that's a that's a

135
00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:48,719
Speaker 1: you know, that's a position that has a lot of depths.

136
00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:51,080
Speaker 1: So it's gonna be interesting, you know, do you keep

137
00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:53,880
Speaker 1: all of those guys and how does that affect another position.

138
00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:56,200
Speaker 1: So there's a lot of late nights ahead of us

139
00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:57,840
Speaker 1: here to try to figure that out because we want

140
00:06:57,839 --> 00:07:00,440
Speaker 1: to be fair to everybody, and that's the hardest, you know,

141
00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:02,680
Speaker 1: you try to be fair to everybody. But obviously you've

142
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:05,279
Speaker 1: got to put together the best fifty three man roster

143
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:08,360
Speaker 1: with a thought of what the forty six man game

144
00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:11,320
Speaker 1: day roster is going to be and that's tough, especially

145
00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:16,520
Speaker 1: when you look at that position, so so incredibly hard,

146
00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:20,880
Speaker 1: so tough, so tough. Now, a guy that is tough

147
00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:23,960
Speaker 1: and is one of the better young safeties in this

148
00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:28,160
Speaker 1: league is Justin Reid and he has missed a few days.

149
00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:32,080
Speaker 1: Deal was something that happened into the Detroit Lions Troit practices.

150
00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:34,080
Speaker 1: Hopefully he's going to be able to come back because

151
00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:36,320
Speaker 1: coach said, we got we gotta have this guy. We

152
00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:39,680
Speaker 1: need for him to be healthy this year. Justin Reid

153
00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:42,200
Speaker 1: is one of our better players. Is a very smart player.

154
00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:47,520
Speaker 1: He does a lot of different things for us. I

155
00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:50,000
Speaker 1: think the big thing with Justin is to, you know,

156
00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:52,080
Speaker 1: just stay as healthy as he can. You know, just

157
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:54,560
Speaker 1: be healthy, be able to be out there on the field,

158
00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:57,720
Speaker 1: and because he's an important part of what we're doing,

159
00:07:57,840 --> 00:08:00,600
Speaker 1: no doubt about it. You know, Justin's not He's not

160
00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:03,160
Speaker 1: one of those guys that's just you worry about from

161
00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:06,160
Speaker 1: a reckless standpoint. He's not reckless. The way he plays

162
00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:11,080
Speaker 1: the game so smart, cerebral, but he is physical. He

163
00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:13,840
Speaker 1: is very physical and he's asked to do a lot

164
00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:18,440
Speaker 1: in this defense. So that is something that obviously worry

165
00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:20,440
Speaker 1: about with a guy like that is injuries. I mean,

166
00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:22,320
Speaker 1: I think about the Indiapolis Colts, a guy named Bob

167
00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:24,880
Speaker 1: Sanders many many years ago, and when Bob Sanders is

168
00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:28,320
Speaker 1: on the field and Indianapolis defense was a whole different animal.

169
00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:31,000
Speaker 1: But Bob got so banked up. He was like five eight,

170
00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:36,560
Speaker 1: like two oh five, and he was he maybe was reckless.

171
00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:39,080
Speaker 1: Now he was physical, he was maybe a little reckless,

172
00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:42,360
Speaker 1: and maybe that led to some injuries. Justin doesn't play

173
00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:44,000
Speaker 1: it that way. He's smart in the way that he

174
00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:48,880
Speaker 1: plays it, but he plays very, very physical. And hopefully

175
00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:50,880
Speaker 1: he's gonna get back on the field because he is

176
00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:53,160
Speaker 1: that guy in the back along with Sean Gibson who's

177
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:55,400
Speaker 1: been out for a few days as well. Hopefully they

178
00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:58,040
Speaker 1: didn't get those guys together because they both from a

179
00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:02,720
Speaker 1: physical standpoint. Not going to say that they intimidate anybody

180
00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:05,200
Speaker 1: because it's not like it used to be. But if

181
00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:07,040
Speaker 1: it used to be that, if the game where the

182
00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:08,800
Speaker 1: same as it was ten years ago, where they could

183
00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:10,760
Speaker 1: just hit anything that went across the middle, you'd be

184
00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:14,400
Speaker 1: worried about Reid and about a die and about to

185
00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:16,439
Speaker 1: Sean Gibs. You'd worry about that. You'd be like I

186
00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:19,040
Speaker 1: want to run. I guess those guys, but justin Reid,

187
00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:23,880
Speaker 1: he is absolutely, without question, very very important for this

188
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:27,160
Speaker 1: particular team and this defense. Now one of the guys

189
00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:30,400
Speaker 1: that everybody wanted to talk about is Duke Johnson. Got

190
00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:32,800
Speaker 1: on the field this week in practice and it was

191
00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:35,840
Speaker 1: good to see what this guy can do. There's a

192
00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:38,200
Speaker 1: lot that goes into learning a new offense, no matter what,

193
00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:40,680
Speaker 1: no matter what offense you're going to, whether you're learning

194
00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:42,840
Speaker 1: a Pop Warner offense, where you learn an NFL offense,

195
00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:44,840
Speaker 1: there's a lot of terminology that goes with it. And

196
00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:48,480
Speaker 1: coach said, look, Duke's learning it. Very smart guy. He's

197
00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:51,680
Speaker 1: able to, you know, learn in the meetings. He's done

198
00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:53,960
Speaker 1: a lot of the things. I think in Freddie's offense,

199
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:55,960
Speaker 1: he was doing a lot of similar things, and so

200
00:09:56,520 --> 00:09:58,760
Speaker 1: it's maybe they call it apples, we call it oranges,

201
00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:01,439
Speaker 1: but it's conceptually this same thing. And he's a very

202
00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:03,280
Speaker 1: smart guy. So it's been fun to coach him and

203
00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:05,679
Speaker 1: he's doing good. I can't wait to see what he's

204
00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:08,199
Speaker 1: able to do in games. And I said this to

205
00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:14,200
Speaker 1: Rick and Clint Camela Clinton Camela on Sports Trade sixteen

206
00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:17,199
Speaker 1: when I did my hit earlier today, when we're talking

207
00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:20,160
Speaker 1: about the running backs, I almost I think I'm gonna

208
00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:22,600
Speaker 1: I have a feeling I'm heading in this direction that

209
00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:26,240
Speaker 1: I will bristle at anyone that calls Duke Johnson running back,

210
00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:31,520
Speaker 1: because he's he's gonna end up being much more than

211
00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:34,360
Speaker 1: I tote the rock, I catch the ball. He's gonna

212
00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:37,440
Speaker 1: be a He's an offensive weapon. If anybody fit that

213
00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:40,600
Speaker 1: bill of offensive weapon. Not quite a receiver, not quite

214
00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:42,959
Speaker 1: a running back, but does everything that both those positions

215
00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:44,800
Speaker 1: can do, and can do it pretty well. Duke Johnson

216
00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:47,360
Speaker 1: might epitomize that more than anybody. All Right, let's put

217
00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:49,440
Speaker 1: another corner in the jukebox and see what we get.

218
00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:57,559
Speaker 1: This one's coming up. D W four DeShawn Watson to

219
00:10:57,640 --> 00:11:02,000
Speaker 1: the podium today. He talked about what he's looking forward

220
00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:07,640
Speaker 1: to most Saturday against the Dallas Cowboys. Another opportunity to

221
00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:11,800
Speaker 1: get some live ashon, another opportunity they see, you know,

222
00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:14,280
Speaker 1: where we standing as an offense, but as a team too,

223
00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:16,679
Speaker 1: and just kind of you know, getting ready for the

224
00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:19,760
Speaker 1: rope Ashton coming up in a couple of weeks, and

225
00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:22,120
Speaker 1: you know, just trying to make sure that I'm staying

226
00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:25,120
Speaker 1: you know, prepare for this game and standing in tune

227
00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:27,680
Speaker 1: and making sure that everyone is on the same page.

228
00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:30,640
Speaker 1: But in chemistry. Now, if Dashawn sounds like he's out

229
00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:34,240
Speaker 1: of breath, he was, because right before that interview, he

230
00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:38,400
Speaker 1: after practice, post practice, he spent about fifteen to twenty

231
00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:42,959
Speaker 1: minutes on the rope ladder with Joe Webb, the two

232
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:45,840
Speaker 1: of them going through the rope ladder, doing different drills,

233
00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:47,880
Speaker 1: working on the footwork, all that kind of stuff with

234
00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:50,920
Speaker 1: the green bands around their ankles. That's what he was

235
00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:53,440
Speaker 1: doing after practice. He didn't just sought hero over like hey,

236
00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:56,160
Speaker 1: practice is over. He walked over and did that extra work.

237
00:11:56,559 --> 00:11:58,160
Speaker 1: And I'm telling you he saw Tom Brady to do

238
00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:00,000
Speaker 1: that twenty seventeen and he's been doing it ever since.

239
00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:04,040
Speaker 1: And he is going to be He's he's that's gonna

240
00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:05,800
Speaker 1: rub out. I mean, Joe Webb started to do with him.

241
00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:08,280
Speaker 1: Now he's got Joe doing it, and hopefully he continues

242
00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:10,440
Speaker 1: to get everybody doing. The guys that stay after practice,

243
00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:12,000
Speaker 1: I mean like they don't even have to say anything.

244
00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:15,760
Speaker 1: I mean the entire team almost stays after practice. So, uh,

245
00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:17,600
Speaker 1: Deshaun right there, a little bit out of breath, but

246
00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:19,720
Speaker 1: hopefully when we get to this next question, he's not

247
00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:21,360
Speaker 1: out of breath because he's talking about a guy like

248
00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:24,679
Speaker 1: Duke Johnson. He said, boy, he's really fun. He can

249
00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:26,880
Speaker 1: be an electric guy everyone around the league. You know

250
00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:29,400
Speaker 1: what dud Johnson can do what he did for Cleveland

251
00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:31,400
Speaker 1: UM at his time there, and you know, he's a

252
00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:33,280
Speaker 1: he's a guy that's gonna bring a lot of energy,

253
00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:36,480
Speaker 1: a lot of uh, you know, extra talent, and he

254
00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:38,320
Speaker 1: can do a lot of different things for this especially

255
00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:40,360
Speaker 1: for our offense. When he gets the ball in his hands.

256
00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:46,600
Speaker 1: Oh boy, my goodness. Talk about the receivers a little bit, DeShawn.

257
00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:49,199
Speaker 1: He likes his receiver crew. I could I could tell

258
00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:52,320
Speaker 1: you just get that feeling that he likes throwing to

259
00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:55,480
Speaker 1: these guys that he that he throws to Vince Smith,

260
00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:58,320
Speaker 1: Tyrant Johnson, no hot, no fuller today, practice no QT.

261
00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:01,400
Speaker 1: So he started the viney starting Tyrand Johnson throw it

262
00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:04,520
Speaker 1: to his tight ends. And he talked about this wide

263
00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:07,760
Speaker 1: receiver crew and he said, these guys are so fast, man,

264
00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:10,400
Speaker 1: I gotta just let this thing fly. The biggest thing is,

265
00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:12,360
Speaker 1: you know, try to get it as far as far

266
00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:14,559
Speaker 1: out as you can, and you know, let him run.

267
00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:16,960
Speaker 1: He let him use the trace and um, I'd rather

268
00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:19,880
Speaker 1: overthrow it if so the dB can can you know,

269
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:22,520
Speaker 1: try to make your play so either my receiver can

270
00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:24,640
Speaker 1: catch a ball and no one camp. You think about

271
00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:27,960
Speaker 1: the speed that this team has it receiver, my goodness,

272
00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:30,360
Speaker 1: and I think about that a lot. About about quarterbacks

273
00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:33,240
Speaker 1: then another quarterback to come in this building that you

274
00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:35,640
Speaker 1: would not have wanted to have with this receiver crew

275
00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:37,440
Speaker 1: because they wouldn't be able to throw it deep with

276
00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:42,640
Speaker 1: accuracy and do it effectively. But with with Watson, absolutely

277
00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:46,760
Speaker 1: absolutely you want to do that. There's no question, all right,

278
00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:53,760
Speaker 1: there is see I spared you my singing right there

279
00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:56,920
Speaker 1: with our little jingle there. Like I like the jingle.

280
00:13:57,440 --> 00:14:00,440
Speaker 1: I like the jingle. I like having it around. I

281
00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:04,280
Speaker 1: appreciate Mark Vannimre for pulling in some talent to help

282
00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:06,360
Speaker 1: him do that. I don't think Mark sings on that

283
00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:09,440
Speaker 1: he could have. He thought about doing it, but then

284
00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:13,719
Speaker 1: he found some resources and he sourced that out a

285
00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:16,480
Speaker 1: little bit. So appreciate Mark for getting us a little

286
00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:19,120
Speaker 1: jingle for Texans Audio jukebox, A little bit of Bill

287
00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:23,080
Speaker 1: O'Brien and to Shaun Watson at the podium today. Now

288
00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:26,200
Speaker 1: those two weren't the only two talking today. Those are

289
00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:28,400
Speaker 1: only two at the podium today, but they weren't the

290
00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:32,920
Speaker 1: only ones talking today. Jalilada talk to me, DJ Reader

292
00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:39,320
Speaker 1: have those three interviews for you next right here on

293
00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:43,520
Speaker 1: Texans All Access. That is right, Texans All Access on

294
00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:47,040
Speaker 1: your radio dial, or maybe you're listening later on the podcast.

295
00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:49,880
Speaker 1: Either way, appreciate you listening. I'm your host, John Harris,

296
00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:53,360
Speaker 1: football analyst and silent reporter for your Houston Texans. And

297
00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:55,120
Speaker 1: we had a lot of people talking today. We have

298
00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:57,400
Speaker 1: Bill O'Brien and Shawn Watson to podium, so we had

299
00:14:57,480 --> 00:15:00,600
Speaker 1: Texans Audio Jukebox in the first segment. In this segment,

300
00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:02,680
Speaker 1: we're gonna talk to DJ Reader, We're gonna talk to

301
00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:08,320
Speaker 1: Jill Dye, but we're gonna start with Buddy Howell. Gregory

302
00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:11,360
Speaker 1: is his real name, and so sometimes you'll see Gregory,

303
00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:14,600
Speaker 1: but if Buddy how played at FAU, and that's a

304
00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:21,600
Speaker 1: really important distinction for this interview because Buddy teammate is

305
00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:24,520
Speaker 1: maybe a guy that some of you know if you

306
00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:29,360

316
00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:04,040
Speaker 1: famous friends, Tyler C from The Bachelorette. Yeah, man, even

319
00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:14,800
Speaker 1: great guy, great teammate. He was my tight end. He

320
00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:16,520
Speaker 1: came in as a quarterback and he like swissed the

321
00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:18,040
Speaker 1: tight end, so you know, he blocked for me, you know,

322
00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:19,520
Speaker 1: and I blocked for him to get the ball and

323
00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:22,280
Speaker 1: all that stuff. So great, great chemistry. But it was

324
00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:24,840
Speaker 1: great to say I want che Bachelorette, but he should

325
00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:27,240
Speaker 1: have won. I agree with you. So did you watch

326
00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:29,920
Speaker 1: the whole season? Um? Dibn dab not too much. I

327
00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:32,880
Speaker 1: ain't gonna lie, but like you know, everything is on

328
00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:35,200
Speaker 1: the internet, so even if you didn't watch the whole show,

329
00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:38,040
Speaker 1: you saw his clips just because people I followed into

330
00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:41,000
Speaker 1: the final two, it's very popular. Yeah, man, I don't know, Man,

331
00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:44,200
Speaker 1: I don't know, because I when I went back home,

332
00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:46,840
Speaker 1: I had to like a little episert for Fau to like,

333
00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:50,320
Speaker 1: you know, talking about the show. But the rest of them, guys,

334
00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:53,200
Speaker 1: I ain't really see nothing. You feel me like you're

335
00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:55,560
Speaker 1: not biased or anything, but you thought he should have gone. Yeah,

336
00:16:55,560 --> 00:16:56,880
Speaker 1: you just look at him and see, like, you know,

337
00:16:56,920 --> 00:16:58,480
Speaker 1: the perks and the good things and the type of

338
00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:00,640
Speaker 1: person he is, and he's good with people, like he's

339
00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:02,320
Speaker 1: good with just anybody in like, that's the type of

340
00:17:02,320 --> 00:17:05,040
Speaker 1: person for her. I feel like, you know, she would

341
00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:07,920
Speaker 1: love because he's not the jealous type. He's the type

342
00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:11,040
Speaker 1: that's like wanting to, you know, be open and figure

343
00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:13,199
Speaker 1: things out. But I don't know, man, you know, it

344
00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:14,800
Speaker 1: is what it is. I think one person that would

345
00:17:14,840 --> 00:17:17,800
Speaker 1: really appreciate this conversation would be John Harris, our sideline reporter,

346
00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:19,960
Speaker 1: because him and I and Jesse, who's in charge of

347

Speaker 1: when he's supposed to. Gus's work, they work. They poled

359
00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:53,880
Speaker 1: me up. Well, let's talk about the camp that you're

360
00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:56,560
Speaker 1: having in preseason. You got a lot of carries, did

361
00:17:56,560 --> 00:17:58,280
Speaker 1: a lot of nice things on special teams. But how

362
00:17:58,359 --> 00:18:00,119
Speaker 1: much fun is it for you to get get to

363
00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:02,440
Speaker 1: do a little bit more on offense here in these games.

364
00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:04,639
Speaker 1: It's fun, man, getting back in that groove and getting

365
00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:06,280
Speaker 1: back to running the ball. It's something that you know,

366
00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:08,639
Speaker 1: that's what you know, that's why I live for. But

367
00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:11,199
Speaker 1: you know, playing my role and doing my doing my

368
00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:13,320
Speaker 1: thing on special teams. That's what I'm that's what they

369
00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:14,760
Speaker 1: got me here for. But when I get the opportunity

370
00:18:14,760 --> 00:18:16,920
Speaker 1: to run a rock, I don't know, it's fun. Man.

371
00:18:16,920 --> 00:18:19,040
Speaker 1: It's been a minute since I got fifteen carries and

372
00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:21,720
Speaker 1: to have an opportunity, I was just like I was

373
00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:23,639
Speaker 1: feeling it and it felt good and that's you know,

374
00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:25,159
Speaker 1: I'm glad I was able to go out there. So

375
00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:27,000
Speaker 1: you know, the people what I'm we don't capable of

376
00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:29,400
Speaker 1: because it's probably been a little minute and you know, practice,

377
00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:31,800
Speaker 1: you can't really get a two test. But when it's time,

378
00:18:31,880 --> 00:18:34,520
Speaker 1: actually takes somebody, for somebody to take you to the ground,

379
00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:37,040
Speaker 1: then it's like, okay, let's see the real deal. So

380
00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:39,359
Speaker 1: I had fun out that you got to touchdown your

381
00:18:39,359 --> 00:18:42,199
Speaker 1: teammates for celebrating with you. That running backs group. It's

382
00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:44,399
Speaker 1: such a competitive position right now, but it seems like

383
00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:46,840
Speaker 1: you guys are all very close and tight knit, doesn't

384
00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:49,320
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, man, it's like a brotherhood. Like it's no,

385
00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:52,080
Speaker 1: it's no hate in the group. It's all love and

386
00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:54,120
Speaker 1: we all just want to basically grow and learn. So

387
00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:56,199
Speaker 1: we got a group that's willing to learn, willing to

388
00:18:56,600 --> 00:18:58,320
Speaker 1: do anything for each other and do anything for the

389
00:18:58,320 --> 00:19:01,400
Speaker 1: team to be successful. So it's like the competition is there,

390
00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:03,680
Speaker 1: But at the end of the day, being in this business,

391
00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:05,800
Speaker 1: being in this sport, it's always a competition. Well is it?

392
00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:07,800
Speaker 1: Because several of you are from Florida, You've got the

393
00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:10,520
Speaker 1: Florida bond going on. Oh yeah, but no, I'm good

394
00:19:10,520 --> 00:19:13,440
Speaker 1: with all of them. I'm good with you know. I'm

395
00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:16,960
Speaker 1: good with Hig, I'm good with Croc, I'm good with Goody,

396
00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:19,840
Speaker 1: I'm good with Ty, I'm good with Josh. I'm gonna

397
00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:21,440
Speaker 1: go with Everybody's. Like, it's just I don't know, I

398
00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:23,400
Speaker 1: think we got a great team. You know, we gotta

399
00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:25,560
Speaker 1: you know, coach Obi does a good job of bringing

400
00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:28,960
Speaker 1: in guys that are like team players, just got good

401
00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:32,760
Speaker 1: vibes and no animosity. So just like having that type

402
00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:34,720
Speaker 1: of group that's like, you know, we don't feel like,

403
00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:37,320
Speaker 1: you know, although Lamar's the start and the older guy,

404
00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:40,680
Speaker 1: we don't feel like like we have to like bow

405
00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:42,840
Speaker 1: down to him, like we can talk to him just

406
00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:44,880
Speaker 1: like we can talk to each other. So like having

407
00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:46,800
Speaker 1: that type of vibe in the group and with our

408
00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:49,359
Speaker 1: coach too, like we could talk to him about with anything.

409
00:19:49,480 --> 00:19:52,280
Speaker 1: So when you're comfortable and you can have open conversations

410
00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:54,840
Speaker 1: in your relationship. It's type like that. You know, it's

411
00:19:54,880 --> 00:19:57,040
Speaker 1: like competition is there, but she's really just out having

412
00:19:57,080 --> 00:19:58,800
Speaker 1: fun at the end of the day. Did you grow

413
00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:01,239
Speaker 1: up watching Lamar? No, he's not that much older than you,

414
00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:04,200
Speaker 1: But you were playing football in Florida. How much did

415
00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:05,320
Speaker 1: you see of him? And how much do you know

416
00:20:05,359 --> 00:20:07,480
Speaker 1: about him before you got here? Um? Now, I knew

417
00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:09,520
Speaker 1: about Lamar, but the one I watched the most is Dude.

418
00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:11,000
Speaker 1: Like when I was in high school and when I

419
00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:12,680
Speaker 1: was going to high school, he was actually in high

420
00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:15,360
Speaker 1: school playing so I watched his highlight tape and watch

421
00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:17,359
Speaker 1: him do a lot of things down in South Florida

422
00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:19,760
Speaker 1: a lot. So I watched more Dude than Lamar, just

423
00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:23,439
Speaker 1: because around that time, you know, Internet was popping and

424
00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:25,600
Speaker 1: it was easy to watch YouTube and he was all

425
00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:27,679
Speaker 1: over the place. But I also got a glimpse at

426
00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:29,960
Speaker 1: Lamar when he was at Killing and when he was

427
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:32,000
Speaker 1: at m So I kind of saw both. But like

428
00:20:32,040 --> 00:20:33,840
Speaker 1: if you want to like true aspect, when I was

429
00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:36,359
Speaker 1: actually old enough to like realize what's going on, ye'all,

430
00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:38,159
Speaker 1: watched a lot of Dude Johnson because he was just

431
00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:39,439
Speaker 1: fun to watch. I don't know if y'all gona look

432
00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:41,719
Speaker 1: at this highlight tape from high school, you're like, man,

433
00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:44,919
Speaker 1: what is this like? Do you tell them these things

434
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:47,479
Speaker 1: you told the running backs in your room? I told dude, Man,

435
00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:49,159
Speaker 1: I say, man, you over here, you know you're in

436
00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:50,720
Speaker 1: the age. Were waiting for the old dude. I just

437
00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:52,520
Speaker 1: say that all the time, you know, because you know,

438
00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:54,680
Speaker 1: probably been kind of quiet since he was in Cleveland.

439
00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:58,159
Speaker 1: But now that he's in Houston, he's got a chance to,

440
00:20:58,200 --> 00:20:59,919
Speaker 1: you know, show the world when he's capable of man

441
00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:02,560
Speaker 1: great players. So I'm just waiting for the old dude.

442
00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:04,159
Speaker 1: That's why I keep telling them. What do you look

443
00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:05,639
Speaker 1: working on? You've got a few more weeks here with

444
00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:08,720
Speaker 1: the preseason left. It's week three heading into Dallas. What

445
00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:10,119
Speaker 1: are some things that you're trying to get better on?

446
00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:14,080
Speaker 1: Obviously special teams. Just make shot know my assignments at

447
00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:17,679
Speaker 1: all times. That's something that you know, I praised myself on.

448
00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:19,479
Speaker 1: It's knowing what you gotta do, being in the right

449
00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:22,800
Speaker 1: place at the right time, and as a running back,

450
00:21:22,840 --> 00:21:25,080
Speaker 1: just you know, continue to learn the playbook inside and out,

451
00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:28,159
Speaker 1: read defenses and know when they're gonna blitch stuff that

452
00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:31,040
Speaker 1: you know, if you're not paying attention can catch you

453
00:21:31,080 --> 00:21:32,960
Speaker 1: off guards. So just being on top of everything and

454
00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:35,440
Speaker 1: probably not getting all the reps in practice, but taking

455
00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:37,880
Speaker 1: mental reps. That's something that's very important, taking mental rests

456
00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:40,480
Speaker 1: when you're not actually getting the physical reps, because that

457
00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:42,159
Speaker 1: keeps you prepared. So just like when I got in

458
00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:44,840
Speaker 1: the game later in the game, it wasn't like, oh,

459
00:21:44,880 --> 00:21:46,720
Speaker 1: he doesn't know what he's doing, like sho. I knew

460
00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:49,080
Speaker 1: what I was doing. I knew it I had to do,

461
00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:50,239
Speaker 1: and I knew what I had to do to make

462
00:21:50,280 --> 00:21:53,880
Speaker 1: the team be successful. So just knowing and being knowledgeable.

463
00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:55,320
Speaker 1: But around this time of camp, you just want to

464
00:21:55,320 --> 00:21:57,199
Speaker 1: make sure your body's feeling good. You want to make

465
00:21:57,200 --> 00:21:59,240
Speaker 1: sure you feel good and you're getting ready for the season,

466
00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:02,240
Speaker 1: and he's just ready to roll. So basically I'm just

467
00:22:02,280 --> 00:22:04,680
Speaker 1: basically fine tuning everything makes in my mind is sorry,

468
00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:06,239
Speaker 1: it makes them getting a lot of rest, take care

469
00:22:06,280 --> 00:22:08,280
Speaker 1: of my body, and just being ready for the season.

470
00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:10,400
Speaker 1: Had a chance to talk to Buddy after the game,

471
00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:13,000
Speaker 1: Love catched up with him. The fact that he's connected

472
00:22:13,040 --> 00:22:14,959
Speaker 1: to Tyler Cameron. We should have put that together. We

473
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:17,439
Speaker 1: should have put two and two together and we didn't

474
00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:19,760
Speaker 1: and deep in our two the biggest batcherette fans in

475
00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:23,240
Speaker 1: the world. And my daughter likes it too, and she

476
00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:25,440
Speaker 1: liked Tyler say so we'll see what ends up happening now.

477
00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:28,160

Speaker 1: chit chat with and DJ but we gotta start off

482
00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:42,840
Speaker 1: with some barbecue questions. Two meets, two sides? What are they?

483
00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:47,440
Speaker 1: I'm a chop barbecue guy, being from Carolina, so tygo chot,

00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:07,720
Speaker 1: bass or a mustard. Basically, I'm really bothering him, but

490
00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:09,800
Speaker 1: I get down with both of them. What's the dessert

491
00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:13,120
Speaker 1: after a barbecue meal? Bread pudding, apple pie and ice?

492
00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:18,119
Speaker 1: Cream peach cobba or swee potato casserole. We'll say all

493
00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:21,200
Speaker 1: hell yeah, whatever it is that we got cool. Which

494
00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:24,560
Speaker 1: of the rookies is the best singer? O best singer

495
00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:27,359
Speaker 1: might go up Charles Minneu. I heard him singing a

496
00:23:27,359 --> 00:23:30,440
Speaker 1: little bit. He said he can Singavier. Javier was can

497
00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:32,800
Speaker 1: sing to him, Yeah, better than Titus Howard because he

498
00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:35,879
Speaker 1: sang on this and he was doing that good Florida

499
00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:38,040
Speaker 1: Georgia Lyne so pretty good. It sounded pretty good. But

500
00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:39,760
Speaker 1: I didn't hear the others. I might put a hobby

501
00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:42,080
Speaker 1: up against Titus. I'll believe you you were in the room.

502
00:23:42,080 --> 00:23:44,240
Speaker 1: I was just hearing one of them. Which songs get

508
00:23:56,920 --> 00:23:59,159

509
00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:01,480
Speaker 1: something to come out of the Brandon Dunne still at

510
00:24:01,520 --> 00:24:03,479

Speaker 1: great as the DJ and him always saying odd eye

512
00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:07,439

514
00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:10,919

523
00:24:32,119 --> 00:24:35,879

524
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:38,760
Speaker 1: Is that true, Lars, He's got a lot of jokes.

525
00:24:38,760 --> 00:24:42,160
Speaker 1: He's very sarcastic. Stiles that sardcastic guys, always making jokes.

526
00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:44,640
Speaker 1: He's funny. If you were not playing football, what would

527
00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:47,040
Speaker 1: your career period right now? Probably the high high school

528
00:24:47,040 --> 00:24:49,280
Speaker 1: athletic director, something like that. I don't know if I

529
00:24:49,320 --> 00:24:51,919
Speaker 1: want to coach ball immediately, but athletic director. I think

530
00:24:51,960 --> 00:24:54,120
Speaker 1: I can get in there, be involved, but not too

531
00:24:54,600 --> 00:24:57,080
Speaker 1: not too involved. On the business side and dealing with

532
00:24:57,119 --> 00:25:00,280
Speaker 1: tickets and being being around the kids now having to

533
00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:01,520
Speaker 1: coach him and yell at him. I'm not the one

534
00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:03,760
Speaker 1: that is out of yellow. Him was school managing people,

535
00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:07,440
Speaker 1: managing the coaches. Yeah, ranked the DJs, DJ Reader, DJ

536
00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:11,200
Speaker 1: Tanner from Full House, the actor, DJ Quaals, that skinny

537
00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:14,320
Speaker 1: guy from Road Trip, DJ Lemayhew the baseball player, and

538
00:25:14,359 --> 00:25:17,960
Speaker 1: then DJ Jazzy Jeff. We'll go DJ Reader, DJ jazz Jeff,

539
00:25:18,119 --> 00:25:22,120
Speaker 1: DJ Lemayhu, DJ Tanner, and then the skinny guy from

540
00:25:22,119 --> 00:25:25,680
Speaker 1: the movie Good Rankings. I like those. Ever talked baseball

541
00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:28,320
Speaker 1: with Jordan Nakins, No, not that much. We just don't

542
00:25:28,320 --> 00:25:30,440
Speaker 1: talk about it. When we do talk about it gets

543
00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:32,400
Speaker 1: them a deep conversation, So I think that's why we're

544
00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:34,240
Speaker 1: gonna talk about it. Doesn't much. What are else deep

545
00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:36,280
Speaker 1: conversations about? It just goes far off. And like you know,

546
00:25:36,320 --> 00:25:38,080
Speaker 1: he played in the farm system. I know a lot

547
00:25:38,119 --> 00:25:41,120
Speaker 1: about it from having guys who played with me and

548
00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:44,199
Speaker 1: things like that, just talking about that process and his

549
00:25:44,359 --> 00:25:46,159
Speaker 1: journey here and things like that, and you know, just

550
00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:48,679
Speaker 1: playing travel baseball stuff growing up, how interesting it was

551
00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:51,240
Speaker 1: and different places we went to visit, the tournaments played

552
00:25:51,280 --> 00:25:53,959
Speaker 1: in who's the first person you call after a football

553
00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:56,480
Speaker 1: game when you finish? My mom? My mom is pretty

554
00:25:56,480 --> 00:25:59,639
Speaker 1: tough on me. How so competitor and my mom's like

555
00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:02,880
Speaker 1: top nots competitors. She's real tough. So I probably call

556
00:26:02,960 --> 00:26:05,120
Speaker 1: her and ask her if she's watching, see how I did.

557
00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:08,240
Speaker 1: I probably call my brother, another tough credit. So you

558
00:26:08,280 --> 00:26:10,560
Speaker 1: like a good tough constructor. I mean, like you know

559
00:26:10,560 --> 00:26:11,959
Speaker 1: what I mean. It's always just good to talk. Your

560
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:14,200
Speaker 1: mom's comforting voice and things like that, so it makes

561
00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:16,480
Speaker 1: a little bit easier. Well, you got a comforting voice

562
00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:18,960
Speaker 1: to DJ and we always appreciate the time. Thank you

563
00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:20,600
Speaker 1: so much for talking. It's best to luck this season.

564
00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:22,560
Speaker 1: I appreciate it. Thank you. And while we're here, you

565
00:26:22,600 --> 00:26:24,840
Speaker 1: know what, let's go forty yards with jalil A die

566
00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:26,840
Speaker 1: Glad j on a forty man. Appreciate you being here,

567
00:26:26,880 --> 00:26:29,600
Speaker 1: Appreciate you. Okay, now we start off every forty with

568
00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:33,199
Speaker 1: the same question. Everybody's been pretty truthful except for Dylan Cole.

569
00:26:33,280 --> 00:26:36,200
Speaker 1: Apparently from what I've heard, it's the fastest forty you

570
00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:40,840
Speaker 1: ever ran, fastest forty I've ever ran. Yeah, it's four

571
00:26:41,040 --> 00:26:43,840
Speaker 1: five two. Okay, if I have to all honesty so

572
00:26:43,960 --> 00:26:46,639
Speaker 1: Dylan Cole said, four three eight, you're buying that Dylan

573
00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:48,720
Speaker 1: ca move he can move, a dylank a move he

574
00:26:48,800 --> 00:26:52,080
Speaker 1: can run. That's four three Eight's pretty salty. So last year,

575
00:26:52,119 --> 00:26:54,600
Speaker 1: I get home on a Sunday after we played our

576
00:26:54,600 --> 00:26:56,359
Speaker 1: playoff game on a Saturday, and I turn on the

577
00:26:56,440 --> 00:26:59,360
Speaker 1: TV and I'm watching you guys playing for the Chargers

578
00:26:59,640 --> 00:27:02,040
Speaker 1: against the Ravens. I look out there and I'm counting.

579
00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:04,600
Speaker 1: I'm counting. I'm like, they're sevent dbs on the field

580
00:27:04,600 --> 00:27:07,520
Speaker 1: and I see number thirty seven planned linebacker. Yeah, what

581
00:27:07,640 --> 00:27:10,280
Speaker 1: was that experience like playing linebacker in a playoff game

582
00:27:10,359 --> 00:27:12,520
Speaker 1: like that? Um, it's it was crazy. I had to

583
00:27:12,560 --> 00:27:15,240
Speaker 1: learn it in basically a week, but it helped me

584
00:27:15,280 --> 00:27:16,920
Speaker 1: knowing the defense. You know. I was able to fit

585
00:27:16,960 --> 00:27:19,400
Speaker 1: into that spot. Um a lot quicker and I played

586
00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:21,320
Speaker 1: in the box, you know, so I had to know

587
00:27:21,359 --> 00:27:23,680
Speaker 1: what the other two linebackers were doing when I was

588
00:27:23,720 --> 00:27:26,280
Speaker 1: playing down safety in the box. So the transition wasn't

589
00:27:26,280 --> 00:27:28,960
Speaker 1: that bad. Do you think you're play linebacker here? I'll

590
00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:31,360
Speaker 1: do whatever they wanted to, I know you will. Now,

591
00:27:31,480 --> 00:27:33,680
Speaker 1: we got a lot of guys on our staff from

592
00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:36,800
Speaker 1: Central Michigan, and they talk about Central Michigan all the time,

593
00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:40,439
Speaker 1: like it's Central Michigan, is it? Why had Central Michigan

594
00:27:40,560 --> 00:27:43,639
Speaker 1: such a big deal? Actually, it's because it's in the

595
00:27:43,640 --> 00:27:46,560
Speaker 1: middle of like nowhere, Mount Pleasant, Michigan. I probably never

596
00:27:46,600 --> 00:27:48,639
Speaker 1: heard of it. But it's a college town, yea. And

597
00:27:48,760 --> 00:27:51,720
Speaker 1: the field there is electrifying for being a Division one

598
00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:54,679
Speaker 1: MAX school, And there's so much to do in a

599
00:27:54,680 --> 00:27:56,760
Speaker 1: little town. You know, it's family oriented. Then you know

600
00:27:56,800 --> 00:27:59,080
Speaker 1: they have the college dorms, then you have you know,

601
00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:01,560
Speaker 1: the local balls and eateries and stuff like that. So

602
00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:04,119
Speaker 1: it's definitely a good college field. I know when this

603
00:28:04,160 --> 00:28:06,439
Speaker 1: is gonna get edited, there's gonna be like stars and

604
00:28:06,560 --> 00:28:09,199
Speaker 1: rainbows on what you just said. Last question for you.

605
00:28:09,480 --> 00:28:12,080
Speaker 1: In the dB room, it's a pretty big room. Who's

606
00:28:12,080 --> 00:28:16,040
Speaker 1: the defensive back most likely to get fined for anything?

607
00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:19,720
Speaker 1: A defensive back most likely to get fined? It might

608
00:28:19,760 --> 00:28:22,919
Speaker 1: be me. It might be me because I've got some

609
00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:24,800
Speaker 1: healthy fines in my career. For some of his month,

610
00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:26,800
Speaker 1: I've been I've been lowering my target lately, So I

611
00:28:26,800 --> 00:28:28,200
Speaker 1: don't know. I don't think if it was not me,

612
00:28:28,680 --> 00:28:30,480
Speaker 1: think it might be bad. And Mosy. I could see

613
00:28:30,480 --> 00:28:32,760
Speaker 1: that there is four yards of your little dods. You'll

614
00:28:32,760 --> 00:28:35,320
Speaker 1: appreciate it. Thank you appreciate it. Now, Neither of those

615
00:28:35,359 --> 00:28:37,720
Speaker 1: three have been a big surprise. We expected big things

616
00:28:37,720 --> 00:28:40,000
Speaker 1: from them and they've all delivered. Maybe Buddy a little

617
00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:44,160
Speaker 1: bit for some people. But what about surprises throughout training camp?

618
00:28:44,240 --> 00:28:47,560
Speaker 1: Then Lap Crew to Dorty and myself discussed that while

619
00:28:47,600 --> 00:28:49,920
Speaker 1: before you next right here in Texas likes us? Who

620
00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:52,880
Speaker 1: doesn't like surprises? I'm one of them. I don't like

621
00:28:52,960 --> 00:28:56,840
Speaker 1: surprises too much, but a good surprise. I think everybody

622
00:28:56,880 --> 00:29:00,920
Speaker 1: likes a good surprise. Right, Well, how about a couple

623
00:29:00,920 --> 00:29:03,600
Speaker 1: of surprises. Drew Doherty and I sat down far in

624
00:29:03,680 --> 00:29:07,480
Speaker 1: lat podcast and we talked about two guys maybe there

625
00:29:07,520 --> 00:29:10,840
Speaker 1: aren't gonna make the roster, but have surprised us. They

626
00:29:10,880 --> 00:29:13,720
Speaker 1: aren't training camp tickless. If we're talking about surprises, who

627
00:29:13,760 --> 00:29:16,720
Speaker 1: has surprised you? Meaning who has surprised you since the

628
00:29:16,720 --> 00:29:21,560
Speaker 1: start of training camp? In practices, in games both, what

629
00:29:21,680 --> 00:29:23,360
Speaker 1: has surprised you? I mean, I don't want to just

630
00:29:23,440 --> 00:29:25,680
Speaker 1: limit it to a player. I chose two players. You

631
00:29:25,800 --> 00:29:28,280
Speaker 1: might have chosen two players too, but you're off the wall.

632
00:29:28,320 --> 00:29:30,360
Speaker 1: You might have gone with something else. I'm gonna start,

633
00:29:30,360 --> 00:29:34,120
Speaker 1: because I'm greedy and I'm selfish, and I don't want

634
00:29:34,120 --> 00:29:37,320
Speaker 1: you to steal these because I'm gonna go with these two.

635
00:29:38,320 --> 00:29:43,520
Speaker 1: I have been surprised by Roderick Johnson, and I'll tell

636
00:29:43,560 --> 00:29:45,160
Speaker 1: you a second one in a little bit. But Rodrick

637
00:29:45,240 --> 00:29:47,720
Speaker 1: Johnson is a guy who joined the team last year

638
00:29:47,880 --> 00:29:51,680
Speaker 1: or really two years ago, not last year, last June,

639
00:29:51,680 --> 00:29:55,680
Speaker 1: a year ago June. And you know, he was on

640
00:29:55,720 --> 00:29:57,880
Speaker 1: the practice squad at times. He was brought to the

641
00:29:57,920 --> 00:30:00,840
Speaker 1: active roster at times, kind of sh back and forth,

642
00:30:01,560 --> 00:30:03,800
Speaker 1: played a little bit or was active for one game,

643
00:30:03,880 --> 00:30:08,440
Speaker 1: didn't do too too much. But always a nice guy,

644
00:30:08,480 --> 00:30:10,720
Speaker 1: always a pleasant guy, and it seemed like I saw

645
00:30:10,840 --> 00:30:14,040
Speaker 1: him the most of all the players on the team.

646
00:30:14,200 --> 00:30:17,400
Speaker 1: I saw him the most this offseason, and usually it

647
00:30:17,400 --> 00:30:19,719
Speaker 1: was in the cafeteria or in the halls. Always had

648
00:30:19,720 --> 00:30:22,720
Speaker 1: a very pleasant demeanor. But I just I didn't know

649
00:30:22,800 --> 00:30:24,640
Speaker 1: much about him, and I didn't see him too much.

650
00:30:25,920 --> 00:30:29,840
Speaker 1: You don't see anything really offensive lineman wise during OTA's

651
00:30:29,880 --> 00:30:33,520
Speaker 1: and mini camp see footwork, but shorts T shirts can't

652
00:30:33,520 --> 00:30:39,680
Speaker 1: really tell too terribly much. But Roderick Johnson, clearest on

653
00:30:40,480 --> 00:30:43,720
Speaker 1: Saturday night against the Lions, looked pretty darn good. He

654
00:30:43,800 --> 00:30:46,840
Speaker 1: actually started the game Matt Khalil was out. I've just

655
00:30:46,880 --> 00:30:49,880
Speaker 1: been very surprised by Roger Johnson. I did a twelve

656
00:30:49,960 --> 00:30:52,560
Speaker 1: questions with him earlier in the day on Tuesday. Ye.

657
00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:56,960
Speaker 1: Fascinating guy, good dude, very pleasant. But John. I've really

658
00:30:57,000 --> 00:31:00,400
Speaker 1: liked what I've seen out of Roderick Johnson, and I

659
00:31:00,440 --> 00:31:03,719
Speaker 1: think it's been so much fun to think about the possibilities.

660
00:31:03,760 --> 00:31:07,200
Speaker 1: I'm not saying he's Anthony Munius, but he might he

661
00:31:07,320 --> 00:31:10,080
Speaker 1: might have something there. And Roderick Johnson, I think he's

662
00:31:10,600 --> 00:31:12,880
Speaker 1: gone a long way towards not just earning a spot

663
00:31:12,920 --> 00:31:15,440
Speaker 1: on this team, but maybe even earning a spot in

664
00:31:15,440 --> 00:31:19,240
Speaker 1: the starting lineup, Drew, had we done a and this

665
00:31:19,280 --> 00:31:21,200
Speaker 1: would be a fun exercise to do in the future

666
00:31:21,320 --> 00:31:23,920
Speaker 1: if we had come up with just you and me,

667
00:31:24,120 --> 00:31:28,240
Speaker 1: not even on the air, but just what would the

668
00:31:28,360 --> 00:31:32,440
Speaker 1: fifty three man roster look like? Yeah? And then did

669
00:31:32,480 --> 00:31:35,720
Speaker 1: it afterwards? I when should we do it? Okay, we

670
00:31:35,800 --> 00:31:38,000
Speaker 1: need to earmark this. Should we do it like the

671
00:31:38,080 --> 00:31:41,360
Speaker 1: week after the draft next year because draft and free

672
00:31:41,360 --> 00:31:44,440
Speaker 1: agency will be done? Yeah, I would think I would

673
00:31:44,440 --> 00:31:46,320
Speaker 1: think we could do it even after OT eight. Wow,

674
00:31:46,400 --> 00:31:47,920
Speaker 1: you don't even want to get it. You're probably right,

675
00:31:47,960 --> 00:31:50,160
Speaker 1: it's probably after the draft because it'd be a in part,

676
00:31:50,240 --> 00:31:53,160
Speaker 1: it would be a foolish Actually we look a little foolish, right.

677
00:31:53,240 --> 00:31:55,400
Speaker 1: That's kind of the point though, yeah, is to is

678
00:31:55,400 --> 00:31:58,360
Speaker 1: to point out, you know, how how kind of foolish

679
00:31:58,400 --> 00:32:01,280
Speaker 1: we would look. But I guarantee you that on any

680
00:32:01,320 --> 00:32:04,440
Speaker 1: iteration that we would have done, Roderick probably would not

681
00:32:04,520 --> 00:32:08,640
Speaker 1: have been in that in that mix, right. But it

682
00:32:08,680 --> 00:32:11,800
Speaker 1: was about the second or third day. He was coming

683
00:32:11,840 --> 00:32:14,000
Speaker 1: off the field and I think we had been outside.

684
00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:16,800
Speaker 1: He was coming off the field and I was I

685
00:32:16,840 --> 00:32:19,800
Speaker 1: was looking for somebody, so I was looking back and

686
00:32:19,840 --> 00:32:21,480
Speaker 1: he was coming off the field and I saw him

687
00:32:21,480 --> 00:32:23,280
Speaker 1: and I just walked up to him. I said, as

688
00:32:23,440 --> 00:32:27,960
Speaker 1: rod him, John, I said, I just gotta tell you,

689
00:32:28,600 --> 00:32:31,200
Speaker 1: from where you were last year at this time to

690
00:32:31,320 --> 00:32:35,720
Speaker 1: where you are now, is night and day different? You

691
00:32:35,760 --> 00:32:38,760
Speaker 1: say night and day. Yeah, Bill O'Brien has said light years,

692
00:32:38,920 --> 00:32:40,600
Speaker 1: I mean when I asked about the comparison. So it's

693
00:32:40,640 --> 00:32:44,440
Speaker 1: it's clear he's he's done a lot. Yeah, And you

694
00:32:44,480 --> 00:32:47,040
Speaker 1: know he's a guy at Florida State that decided to

695
00:32:47,040 --> 00:32:50,960
Speaker 1: declare after a third year. And I've I've gotten to

696
00:32:51,040 --> 00:32:54,240
Speaker 1: where in the draft. You know, when I was, you know,

697
00:32:54,360 --> 00:32:56,600
Speaker 1: young and dumb as you can be in your twenties

698
00:32:56,880 --> 00:32:59,600
Speaker 1: and thirties, and probably even in my early forties, but

699
00:32:59,640 --> 00:33:02,160
Speaker 1: I probably probably was about mid thirties where I started

700
00:33:02,200 --> 00:33:04,719
Speaker 1: looking at these guys declaring for the draft and instead

701
00:33:04,760 --> 00:33:08,160
Speaker 1: of going that's a dumb idea, that's stupid, I step

702
00:33:08,200 --> 00:33:10,000
Speaker 1: back and went, wait a second, these guys might be

703
00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:12,800
Speaker 1: declaring for the draft for a particular reason. Yeah, there

704
00:33:12,880 --> 00:33:15,480
Speaker 1: might be a family reason. It might be they they

705
00:33:15,520 --> 00:33:17,640
Speaker 1: may have a family, you know, the family that might

706
00:33:17,640 --> 00:33:20,320
Speaker 1: be taking care of back home wherever they're from. There

707
00:33:20,360 --> 00:33:23,080
Speaker 1: might be a financial need for them. Sometimes you get

708
00:33:23,080 --> 00:33:26,640
Speaker 1: bad advice, Yeah, sometimes you get horrible advice. Sometimes you

709
00:33:26,720 --> 00:33:30,080
Speaker 1: play position in which like running back, where start your

710
00:33:30,080 --> 00:33:32,960
Speaker 1: clock earlier is probably your your NFL clock earlier is

711
00:33:32,960 --> 00:33:35,560
Speaker 1: probably the right thing, because you know, teams aren't looking

712
00:33:35,600 --> 00:33:39,520
Speaker 1: at guys with you know, with with a really hiatodometer.

713
00:33:39,800 --> 00:33:41,680
Speaker 1: You know, what's one thing you said about running backs,

714
00:33:41,680 --> 00:33:43,200
Speaker 1: the boy he doesn't. He's got a lot of tread

715
00:33:43,240 --> 00:33:46,040
Speaker 1: off the tires, a lot of cares. So sometimes you

716
00:33:46,160 --> 00:33:48,480
Speaker 1: really believe in yourself, and maybe you believe in yourself

717
00:33:48,480 --> 00:33:51,280
Speaker 1: too much, right, And so Rod had gotten a lot

718
00:33:51,280 --> 00:33:53,240
Speaker 1: of honors at Florida State. He had had a lot

719
00:33:53,240 --> 00:33:56,840
Speaker 1: of honors come his way, and I think maybe that

720
00:33:56,880 --> 00:33:59,160
Speaker 1: clouded division. I don't know, but I remember watching him

721
00:33:59,160 --> 00:34:01,200
Speaker 1: coming out of flour stint this way. He's not a

722
00:34:01,240 --> 00:34:03,800
Speaker 1: lot of people are making him out to be a first, second,

723
00:34:03,840 --> 00:34:06,040
Speaker 1: third rounder. I was like, he's not that. I said,

724
00:34:06,120 --> 00:34:08,279
Speaker 1: he's he's a day three guy and he's got to

725
00:34:08,320 --> 00:34:11,879
Speaker 1: develop some he needs some time to develop. And then

726
00:34:11,880 --> 00:34:13,439
Speaker 1: when he came here, I thought, boy, if they could

727
00:34:13,440 --> 00:34:15,279
Speaker 1: just you know, have some time to develop him, I mean,

728
00:34:15,760 --> 00:34:19,480
Speaker 1: you know who knows. And that development time came and

729
00:34:19,560 --> 00:34:22,479
Speaker 1: he just has soaked it all in. And like you said,

730
00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:25,120
Speaker 1: it's not as if he's he's Anthony Munios or he's

731
00:34:25,160 --> 00:34:28,000
Speaker 1: Tony Basselli or anybody that you look at it and say, boy,

732
00:34:29,040 --> 00:34:31,600
Speaker 1: you know, from day one, when you watch Munios and Basselli,

733
00:34:31,680 --> 00:34:34,040
Speaker 1: for example, Jonathan Ogden, You're like, Okay, those guys are

734
00:34:34,080 --> 00:34:35,799
Speaker 1: left tackles. They're going to the Hall of Fame, they're

735
00:34:35,920 --> 00:34:38,279
Speaker 1: you know, great players. You look at Rod and think, boy,

736
00:34:38,280 --> 00:34:40,799
Speaker 1: if he just continues to get one percent better every day,

737
00:34:40,840 --> 00:34:42,839
Speaker 1: he's gonna end up being a good player for this team.

738
00:34:42,880 --> 00:34:44,719
Speaker 1: So you're absolutely right. This is a I think it's

739
00:34:44,719 --> 00:34:46,520
Speaker 1: a big surprise for a lot of people. Well asked

740
00:34:46,600 --> 00:34:48,640
Speaker 1: him what he even the coaching staff sure, And I

741
00:34:48,680 --> 00:34:50,799
Speaker 1: asked him, what'd you do this offseason? I mean, how'd

742
00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:53,160
Speaker 1: you what'd you do to get better? And you know,

743
00:34:53,239 --> 00:34:56,080
Speaker 1: he kind of he's keeping his cards close to his vest,

744
00:34:56,760 --> 00:34:59,640
Speaker 1: which I took that as a good sign. He said, oh, well,

745
00:34:59,800 --> 00:35:02,040
Speaker 1: you know, I just I followed the program. I you know,

746
00:35:02,040 --> 00:35:04,279
Speaker 1: I stayed in the weight room, watch film. Yeah, he

747
00:35:04,320 --> 00:35:07,040
Speaker 1: didn't give up any any secrets or any trade series

748
00:35:07,040 --> 00:35:08,919
Speaker 1: with those states. I kind of like, you know, he's

749
00:35:09,320 --> 00:35:12,200
Speaker 1: it shows me that he's he's not buying any hype,

750
00:35:12,200 --> 00:35:15,200
Speaker 1: he's not buying any raw rob about him, like he's

751
00:35:15,280 --> 00:35:17,360
Speaker 1: he still has a lot to prove. And Bill O'Brien

752
00:35:17,440 --> 00:35:19,800
Speaker 1: said that on Monday, He's like, he played really well,

753
00:35:20,040 --> 00:35:22,719
Speaker 1: he was great, but let's do it again. Let's keep

754
00:35:22,719 --> 00:35:24,879
Speaker 1: doing it again. And I like that about what coach

755
00:35:24,960 --> 00:35:26,799
Speaker 1: was saying. I like that with Roder, the way he

756
00:35:26,840 --> 00:35:29,799
Speaker 1: was reacting. So Roger Johnson is my first surprise. My

757
00:35:29,840 --> 00:35:35,600
Speaker 1: second surprise has been the nastiest player I've seen with

758
00:35:35,640 --> 00:35:38,239
Speaker 1: the ball in his hands this camp. When he gets

759
00:35:38,280 --> 00:35:40,960
Speaker 1: the ball in his hands, he's mean, I'm talking about.

760
00:35:41,520 --> 00:35:47,080
Speaker 1: We see that meanness the other night when Jerell Adams

761
00:35:47,160 --> 00:35:50,480
Speaker 1: stiff armed that dude and then was about to knock

762
00:35:50,520 --> 00:35:54,040
Speaker 1: another dB in the next week, and that dB made

763
00:35:54,080 --> 00:35:55,680
Speaker 1: a business decision. He just kind of moved out of

764
00:35:55,680 --> 00:35:57,000
Speaker 1: the way. And you and I were kind of joking

765
00:35:57,000 --> 00:35:59,439
Speaker 1: about it during the game on the sidelines when we're

766
00:35:59,440 --> 00:36:03,160
Speaker 1: doing our hit for the preseason TV broadcast. But he

767
00:36:03,200 --> 00:36:07,160
Speaker 1: didn't make a business decision. That's been him in practice too.

768
00:36:07,239 --> 00:36:10,200
Speaker 1: We've seen this in practice, like he's nasty in practice

769
00:36:10,200 --> 00:36:13,319
Speaker 1: and hill he's made some plays. He's made he's caught

770
00:36:13,360 --> 00:36:15,960
Speaker 1: some touchdown passes, and he is not afraid to bark

771
00:36:16,400 --> 00:36:19,040
Speaker 1: at some guys after he's made a player too, And

772
00:36:19,080 --> 00:36:21,600
Speaker 1: it's it's really he's a guy that we didn't bring

773
00:36:21,680 --> 00:36:24,200
Speaker 1: up and we taught talked about how athletic this tight

774
00:36:24,280 --> 00:36:27,719
Speaker 1: end room is, how promising this tight end room is.

775
00:36:27,760 --> 00:36:30,040
Speaker 1: Because you take him out of the equation, it's it's

776
00:36:30,040 --> 00:36:33,600
Speaker 1: a very promising tight end group with wearing, with the

777
00:36:33,640 --> 00:36:35,799
Speaker 1: two Jordans, with Darren Fells. So I think those four

778
00:36:35,840 --> 00:36:39,839
Speaker 1: are all gonna make it well. Adams has looked outstanding

779
00:36:39,840 --> 00:36:42,359
Speaker 1: and done everything you've wanted for him at this camp.

780
00:36:42,360 --> 00:36:45,759
Speaker 1: He's looked great, yeah, I've said. And he's been out

781
00:36:45,760 --> 00:36:48,040
Speaker 1: there every every practice, which is a big deal too.

782
00:36:48,200 --> 00:36:51,800
Speaker 1: I think the tight end group has been the most

783
00:36:51,880 --> 00:36:56,799
Speaker 1: impressive of any unit on this team. And I don't

784
00:36:56,840 --> 00:36:59,040
Speaker 1: even know that it's close. They were so good in

785
00:36:59,120 --> 00:37:02,160
Speaker 1: Green Bay. They had good days against Detroit. They've shown

786
00:37:02,239 --> 00:37:05,600
Speaker 1: up in the games. Darrell caught a touchdown pass against

787
00:37:05,640 --> 00:37:07,600
Speaker 1: the Packers. He had that catch and run the other

788
00:37:07,680 --> 00:37:10,239
Speaker 1: night on the third and one. Aikins has made a

789
00:37:10,280 --> 00:37:13,319
Speaker 1: big play every second practice. Aikins has been phenomenal. When

790
00:37:13,360 --> 00:37:17,000
Speaker 1: JT went down third fourth day, Aikins stepped up like,

791
00:37:17,040 --> 00:37:18,920
Speaker 1: all right, throw me the ball, give me the rock.

792
00:37:18,960 --> 00:37:21,400
Speaker 1: And so at that point you started thinking, whoa holy smokes,

793
00:37:21,400 --> 00:37:23,399
Speaker 1: look at what Aikins is doing. Thomas made a lot

794
00:37:23,400 --> 00:37:26,319
Speaker 1: of plays the other night, and and Thomas his you know,

795
00:37:26,960 --> 00:37:30,640
Speaker 1: you know JT is he's a big play waiting to happen.

796
00:37:31,160 --> 00:37:34,000
Speaker 1: I do think overall the blocking's gotta get a little

797
00:37:34,040 --> 00:37:37,279
Speaker 1: bit better, yep, But I think it's improved. But I

798
00:37:37,280 --> 00:37:39,640
Speaker 1: think the overall the blocking needs to get better. But

799
00:37:39,680 --> 00:37:41,359
Speaker 1: I think Will Long has done a really nice job

800
00:37:41,360 --> 00:37:42,800
Speaker 1: at his first year coach and at tight ends. I

801
00:37:42,840 --> 00:37:44,360
Speaker 1: think he's done a heck of a job with those guys.

802
00:37:44,880 --> 00:37:51,360
Speaker 1: And the math says you can't keep five. So you wonder,

803
00:37:52,360 --> 00:37:55,360
Speaker 1: is Darrell Adams the odd the odd man out because

804
00:37:55,960 --> 00:37:59,640
Speaker 1: you just you got two second year guys. You know

805
00:37:59,680 --> 00:38:03,080
Speaker 1: they're going anywhere. Kylie Wearing, you think he's a rookie

806
00:38:03,120 --> 00:38:05,279
Speaker 1: third rounder, He's not going anywhere. And Bells is the

807
00:38:05,760 --> 00:38:08,359
Speaker 1: vet of the room, and hold on on Wearing, like

808
00:38:08,880 --> 00:38:11,719
Speaker 1: I know he's he's practiced only a handful of times

809
00:38:11,719 --> 00:38:14,799
Speaker 1: in camp, but when he practiced in Green Bay, Wow, yeah,

810
00:38:16,640 --> 00:38:19,040
Speaker 1: he looked really good. So and he's getting kind of

811
00:38:19,040 --> 00:38:22,160
Speaker 1: a little bit of guff. This guy. I've seen that

812
00:38:22,200 --> 00:38:25,080
Speaker 1: on Twitter from some folks and telling you, man, do

813
00:38:25,200 --> 00:38:29,080
Speaker 1: not sleep on this. This guy. He's he's Oh my gosh,

814
00:38:29,160 --> 00:38:31,799
Speaker 1: he is a specimen. He is an athlete and and

815
00:38:31,840 --> 00:38:34,960
Speaker 1: he'll show everybody that it may take some time just

816
00:38:35,040 --> 00:38:38,080
Speaker 1: dealing with the injuries he's dealt with us far, but

817
00:38:38,160 --> 00:38:39,919
Speaker 1: when he gets on the field, he makes some things happen.

818
00:38:40,000 --> 00:38:43,799
Speaker 1: So my point and all that is there there. You

819
00:38:43,800 --> 00:38:46,879
Speaker 1: can't keep five. Somebody's gonna go play for somebody else

820
00:38:46,880 --> 00:38:50,040
Speaker 1: this year. And I said the other day, jeral Adams,

821
00:38:50,360 --> 00:38:52,319
Speaker 1: you know the Patriots. I hate to even say it,

822
00:38:52,360 --> 00:38:56,040
Speaker 1: but the Patriots, you know, it's kind of the perfect scenario.

823
00:38:56,080 --> 00:38:58,040
Speaker 1: It's like they're looking for some tight they're they're looking

824
00:38:58,040 --> 00:39:00,959
Speaker 1: for tight ends, and they're looking for pass catchers. Well,

825
00:39:01,080 --> 00:39:04,279
Speaker 1: what better way than to look at this somebody from

826
00:39:04,320 --> 00:39:07,160
Speaker 1: this offense who knows it, who is dynamic in the preseason.

827
00:39:07,880 --> 00:39:09,759
Speaker 1: I hate to even bring it up. I wish there

828
00:39:09,800 --> 00:39:11,520
Speaker 1: was a way you could keep off five. There just isn't.

829
00:39:11,560 --> 00:39:14,360
Speaker 1: I mean, I hate that, but they have been all

830
00:39:14,640 --> 00:39:19,520
Speaker 1: kinds of phenomenal. Okay, John, you're two surprises. Let's start

831
00:39:19,560 --> 00:39:23,640
Speaker 1: with the first one. It is. So here's my question.

832
00:39:23,800 --> 00:39:25,520
Speaker 1: I maybe you should have asked this earlier. Now, this

833
00:39:25,600 --> 00:39:27,160
Speaker 1: is the beauty of a podcast. We can kind of

834
00:39:27,160 --> 00:39:32,360
Speaker 1: screw around and just chit chat and be rookies. It

835
00:39:32,440 --> 00:39:35,320
Speaker 1: can can it be? Could it be a rookie? Of course?

836
00:39:36,080 --> 00:39:39,360
Speaker 1: Well course I'll give you one. And I think this

837
00:39:39,400 --> 00:39:41,520
Speaker 1: is our pod, this is your podcast in mind, so

838
00:39:41,600 --> 00:39:43,640
Speaker 1: we can do whatever we want. That's true. It's a

839
00:39:43,640 --> 00:39:45,920
Speaker 1: good point. I'll give you one that's off the beaten

840
00:39:45,920 --> 00:39:50,040
Speaker 1: path a little bit. I like Chris Johnson's safety, okay,

841
00:39:50,920 --> 00:39:56,480
Speaker 1: And the first few days of practice, I remember walking

842
00:39:56,480 --> 00:39:59,480
Speaker 1: in here and A. J. Moore was was crushing it.

843
00:39:59,480 --> 00:40:01,799
Speaker 1: He was making plays. It's safety. He was making a

844
00:40:01,840 --> 00:40:04,640
Speaker 1: ton of plays interceptions. I mean he was. And I

845
00:40:04,680 --> 00:40:06,439
Speaker 1: remember we kind of sat in here, we talked about

846
00:40:06,480 --> 00:40:08,239
Speaker 1: it, and and we're like, okay, the four safeties are set.

847
00:40:08,520 --> 00:40:12,000
Speaker 1: The four safeties are set. It's gonna be Justin Reid,

848
00:40:12,280 --> 00:40:16,759
Speaker 1: Sean Gibson, Jelillade, and A J. Moore right four. Now

849
00:40:16,800 --> 00:40:18,719
Speaker 1: if you go five, okay, then there's some questions of

850
00:40:18,760 --> 00:40:20,120
Speaker 1: who the fifth is going to be. But we were like,

851
00:40:20,760 --> 00:40:23,520
Speaker 1: those are the four, no doubt, those are the four.

852
00:40:24,280 --> 00:40:27,440
Speaker 1: And then a couple of guys get banged up. You know, T.

853
00:40:27,560 --> 00:40:29,160
Speaker 1: GiB has been out for a couple of days. You know,

854
00:40:29,239 --> 00:40:31,720
Speaker 1: Jay Reid got hurt in that practice against the Lions,

855
00:40:33,280 --> 00:40:36,280
Speaker 1: and then A J. Moore got a concussion against the Packers,

856
00:40:36,280 --> 00:40:41,440
Speaker 1: and so now you're down two three guys. Everybody's got

857
00:40:41,440 --> 00:40:43,959
Speaker 1: to step up. And so when they went their first

858
00:40:44,000 --> 00:40:45,520
Speaker 1: sub package, you know, I look out there and Chris

859
00:40:45,640 --> 00:40:48,080
Speaker 1: Johnson's out there. And the thing was is i'd noticed

860
00:40:48,160 --> 00:40:50,960
Speaker 1: him in the in the week of the Packers. I

861
00:40:51,000 --> 00:40:53,239
Speaker 1: shouldn't say i'd noticed him then, but I've kept an

862
00:40:53,239 --> 00:40:55,719
Speaker 1: eye on him for a while, just because I watched

863
00:40:55,719 --> 00:40:58,360
Speaker 1: a guy and he's smooth, he's got a good build,

864
00:40:58,800 --> 00:41:01,520
Speaker 1: he's not scared to come up and strike you. He

865
00:41:02,080 --> 00:41:04,040
Speaker 1: covers some ground. And he struggled a little bit early

866
00:41:04,080 --> 00:41:06,320
Speaker 1: because I remember one one practice he got stuck against

867
00:41:06,360 --> 00:41:09,040
Speaker 1: Jordan Nakens one on one. It's like, yeah, man, that's good.

868
00:41:09,080 --> 00:41:11,680
Speaker 1: That's that's He's gonna win a lot of those mismatches. Yeah,

869
00:41:11,680 --> 00:41:14,160
Speaker 1: because you know, Aikins is six five six six to

870
00:41:14,440 --> 00:41:17,120
Speaker 1: fifty and Chris is safety size. He's six one, two hundred.

871
00:41:17,440 --> 00:41:19,800
Speaker 1: But then I kept noticing Johnson was would make a

872
00:41:19,880 --> 00:41:21,920
Speaker 1: play here, he'd make a play there, and then you

873
00:41:22,040 --> 00:41:26,040
Speaker 1: start singing him because of those injuries. Against the Lions,

874
00:41:26,040 --> 00:41:28,360
Speaker 1: they go the first dime unit and Chris is on

875
00:41:28,400 --> 00:41:31,520
Speaker 1: the field, he's playing one of those safety positions, and

876
00:41:31,800 --> 00:41:34,359
Speaker 1: second or third play of that series, Johnson reads Matt

877
00:41:34,360 --> 00:41:37,680
Speaker 1: Stafford's eyes, go takes him to the ball, gets a pick,

878
00:41:38,440 --> 00:41:41,000
Speaker 1: and you know that pick happened. I had just sent

879
00:41:41,080 --> 00:41:43,439
Speaker 1: a text to you guys, you and Vandamir and Deep

880
00:41:44,440 --> 00:41:47,520
Speaker 1: saying hey, uh Reid's walking off the field, and I

881
00:41:47,600 --> 00:41:50,239
Speaker 1: hit send and I look up, yeah, bam that pick

882
00:41:50,320 --> 00:41:53,879
Speaker 1: HAPs and a couple plays leturgy, a little die has

883
00:41:53,880 --> 00:41:57,359
Speaker 1: a pick, and I'm looking at Chris Johnson and I think, man,

884
00:41:57,760 --> 00:42:00,520
Speaker 1: the numbers get tight. The numbers it tight on a

885
00:42:00,600 --> 00:42:02,919
Speaker 1: rookie and undrafted rookie, especially when you have some depth,

886
00:42:02,920 --> 00:42:05,000
Speaker 1: you have some experience, and guys like Gibson and read

887
00:42:05,440 --> 00:42:07,480
Speaker 1: On Julia Day and an Aga Moore is a guy

888
00:42:07,480 --> 00:42:10,440
Speaker 1: that was here last year and play special teams. And

889
00:42:10,440 --> 00:42:12,920
Speaker 1: I think Chris could could be on special teams if

890
00:42:12,920 --> 00:42:16,759
Speaker 1: he were asked to. But he has consistently, day after

891
00:42:16,920 --> 00:42:18,440
Speaker 1: day after day it gotten better. You know, it's a

892
00:42:18,440 --> 00:42:20,440
Speaker 1: whole one percent better. He's gotten like two or three

893
00:42:20,480 --> 00:42:22,880
Speaker 1: percent better every day. So he's on. He was on

894
00:42:22,920 --> 00:42:24,680
Speaker 1: the field with the sub package. He came up and

895
00:42:24,800 --> 00:42:27,600
Speaker 1: was and he struck a couple of dudes on Saturday

896
00:42:27,680 --> 00:42:30,320
Speaker 1: night against the Lions, and I just look at his building,

897
00:42:30,400 --> 00:42:33,680
Speaker 1: look at his his range, the ability to run, and

898
00:42:33,719 --> 00:42:36,640
Speaker 1: I think, man, maybe there's something there, and look maybe

899
00:42:36,760 --> 00:42:39,000
Speaker 1: maybe maybe to make the fifty three man roster but

900
00:42:39,040 --> 00:42:40,440
Speaker 1: he's the kind of guy I could see coming back

901
00:42:40,440 --> 00:42:43,680
Speaker 1: on practice squad feeling like wow, Um, so I don't know,

902
00:42:43,960 --> 00:42:46,960
Speaker 1: and I feel kind of bad saying, Oh, it's a

903
00:42:47,440 --> 00:42:50,040
Speaker 1: he's a surprise, now, that's what I think. That's a

904
00:42:51,200 --> 00:42:54,760
Speaker 1: that's a genuine, bona fide surprise. For the people listening

905
00:42:54,800 --> 00:42:57,560
Speaker 1: to this. You've not heard a lot about Chris Johnson.

906
00:42:57,600 --> 00:43:01,000
Speaker 1: You just he's come from a small school, he wasn't drafted.

907
00:43:01,040 --> 00:43:02,960
Speaker 1: I mean, it's that's a natural. That's a good pick.

908
00:43:03,200 --> 00:43:05,000
