And 0:03:40.920 --> 0:03:42.800 then by the time we get to the actual games, 0:03:43.760 --> 0:03:47.280 it's like everybody's already clicking in. And I mean you 0:03:47.360 --> 0:03:49.080 just see that from the from the beginning. 0:03:49.320 --> 0:03:53.320 So I grew up about thirty minutes from here. My 0:03:53.400 --> 0:03:56.520 dad was my coach. My dad had a way getting 0:03:56.600 --> 0:03:58.160 kind of tough on me. I know, your dad coached 0:03:58.200 --> 0:03:59.680 you for a long time, and when my dad got 0:03:59.760 --> 0:04:02.480 tough on me, I always had moms. 0:04:02.120 --> 0:04:02.600 That was there. 0:04:02.600 --> 0:04:04.080 And a lot of people talk about your dad and 0:04:04.120 --> 0:04:06.440 the impact, but what about your moms being there for 0:04:06.560 --> 0:04:08.280 you throughout this entire journey as much. 0:04:08.160 --> 0:04:09.040 As your dad. 0:04:09.320 --> 0:04:12.240 Yeah, I mean without without her, Like I mean it's 0:04:12.280 --> 0:04:14.880 saying it's the same for both, Like if without what 0:04:14.920 --> 0:04:19.040 they do, I wouldn't be sitting right here right now, 0:04:19.200 --> 0:04:23.839 like like yeah, with my dad a lot working out 0:04:23.920 --> 0:04:27.120 and you know, just you know football and it really 0:04:27.200 --> 0:04:27.720 is more than. 0:04:27.600 --> 0:04:30.200 Football, but like talking about but yeah, so. 0:04:30.200 --> 0:04:32.240 Yeah with football with him, and then with my mom 0:04:32.360 --> 0:04:35.240 is like you know, like you see the family side 0:04:35.279 --> 0:04:37.480 of like like her side of her family, like how 0:04:37.480 --> 0:04:40.360 they always together, how they always you know, communicating and 0:04:40.400 --> 0:04:43.400 stuff like that. So I mean it's different levels to 0:04:44.720 --> 0:04:47.120 what they do. And I mean a lot of people 0:04:47.160 --> 0:04:48.920 don't have that, but I got it so. 0:04:49.240 --> 0:04:50.440 To help support system man. 0:04:50.480 --> 0:04:51.920 And they're the only two people that get to the 0:04:51.960 --> 0:04:54.640 stadium before any of us too, which I think it's fantastic. 0:04:54.640 --> 0:04:57.400 I've seen him in every single stadium before I get there, 0:04:57.400 --> 0:04:59.520 and I'm one of the first uh to get there. 0:05:00.000 --> 0:05:01.919 One of things I love doing with you is talking 0:05:01.920 --> 0:05:05.080 about the game. We talk about things that have happened 0:05:05.080 --> 0:05:07.400 in the game, Like you can give me the details 0:05:07.400 --> 0:05:09.640 and everything. We after Jacksonville game and you had an 0:05:09.640 --> 0:05:12.719 interception and you gave me a whole breakdown of what 0:05:12.839 --> 0:05:15.599 happened against Brian Thomas. So I'm gonna give you my 0:05:15.680 --> 0:05:17.400 favorite interception and I want you to tell me. 0:05:17.440 --> 0:05:19.000 What happened December. 0:05:18.600 --> 0:05:23.840 Fifteenth, twenty twenty four, fourth down against Miami Dolphins. The 0:05:24.000 --> 0:05:26.800 first interception when you're one on one on Tyreek Hill, 0:05:26.880 --> 0:05:28.760 the one in the south end zone or near the 0:05:28.800 --> 0:05:29.520 south end zone. 0:05:29.720 --> 0:05:31.560 Take me through that play and what happened? You remember? 0:05:31.600 --> 0:05:33.640 I know you got the recall. Yeah, So. 0:05:35.240 --> 0:05:36.760 On that play, I think it was either to play 0:05:36.839 --> 0:05:40.039 before or to play or two plays before that he 0:05:40.240 --> 0:05:43.360 ran He took an outside release and ran a dig 0:05:43.400 --> 0:05:47.400 and he caught the ball for a first down, and 0:05:47.440 --> 0:05:49.480 that that really the way he ran the route. It 0:05:49.520 --> 0:05:51.479 was kind of weird, like you're not gonna see nobody 0:05:51.480 --> 0:05:55.400 else run that how he runs it, so all right anyway, 0:05:55.440 --> 0:05:58.320 So that's that's that's beforehand. 0:05:57.760 --> 0:06:00.320 So that set it up in your brain. That's that's 0:06:00.360 --> 0:06:02.279 that something out right. And then. 0:06:03.680 --> 0:06:05.800 Either the next player or two players after after he 0:06:05.839 --> 0:06:10.200 caught that pass, it was kind of like the shot 0:06:10.200 --> 0:06:15.520 area going into the field, and I kind of like, 0:06:15.560 --> 0:06:17.120 I just had a thought in my mind that he 0:06:17.200 --> 0:06:19.640 wasn't going to try to just run past me all 0:06:20.440 --> 0:06:22.360 right here, even though he could have, because we were 0:06:22.440 --> 0:06:25.279 in single high and they had a lot of field 0:06:25.279 --> 0:06:27.520 to work with to like a front pile line throw 0:06:27.640 --> 0:06:30.080 or back pipeline, whichever one they wanted to do. But 0:06:31.120 --> 0:06:33.600 he took the release, and he still he stayed kind 0:06:33.640 --> 0:06:37.080 of vertical off of his first couple of steps, and 0:06:37.120 --> 0:06:40.520 then when he was running like he wouldn't like Tyree, 0:06:40.680 --> 0:06:43.240 he has a specific type of run and how he 0:06:43.279 --> 0:06:47.320 looks when he's running like he But I just had 0:06:47.320 --> 0:06:48.760 a feeling that he was about to break and then 0:06:48.880 --> 0:06:50.680 I just kind of locked in on the hill and 0:06:50.720 --> 0:06:53.840 then once he turned, I turned looked for the ball. 0:06:54.800 --> 0:06:57.160 A lot of people when they the NFL put out 0:06:57.160 --> 0:06:58.760 a video, if you know, the NFL put out a 0:06:58.800 --> 0:07:01.520 video on Twitter, like three and a half minutes of 0:07:01.600 --> 0:07:03.240 your best plays, going all the way back to your 0:07:03.680 --> 0:07:04.640 game against Jackson. 0:07:04.440 --> 0:07:06.880 With your first interception in your career. It was an interception, 0:07:06.960 --> 0:07:08.200 past breakup, et cetera. 0:07:08.279 --> 0:07:11.120 I think what people miss a lot about you, it's 0:07:11.160 --> 0:07:13.840 how well you play the run and how well you 0:07:13.920 --> 0:07:15.800 come up and how willing you are to come up 0:07:15.800 --> 0:07:16.240 and tackle. 0:07:16.280 --> 0:07:18.440 Where did that kind of start for you? Always? 0:07:18.440 --> 0:07:20.320 Has it always been part of your game that you're 0:07:20.320 --> 0:07:22.320 gonna take pride and not only cover people but coming 0:07:22.360 --> 0:07:23.440 up and making tackles as well. 0:07:24.120 --> 0:07:27.000 Yeah, I mean that that kind of well, I mean 0:07:27.000 --> 0:07:29.480 going back to a little kid. Yeah, but once once 0:07:29.520 --> 0:07:33.400 I got into college, my defensive back coach, Cory Raymond, 0:07:34.320 --> 0:07:36.960 he would always say, y'all gotta tackle, y'all gotta y'all 0:07:36.960 --> 0:07:38.640 gotta know how to ta come down and make a 0:07:38.640 --> 0:07:43.840 tackle hit with this shoulder, this foot forward. And he 0:07:43.880 --> 0:07:45.800 would just say that and we would kind of look 0:07:45.840 --> 0:07:47.600 at him like why, like you know, like what's the 0:07:47.640 --> 0:07:50.960 point of us really getting in there and tackling. But 0:07:51.400 --> 0:07:54.520 I mean it turned out that, I mean, to be 0:07:54.600 --> 0:07:57.080 a great, a better corner, you got to show up 0:07:57.120 --> 0:07:59.560 in the run like you gotta you gotta be reliable 0:07:59.640 --> 0:08:01.200 or what's it's just gonna run the ball at you 0:08:01.360 --> 0:08:04.440 thirty times a game and you're not gonna help the 0:08:04.480 --> 0:08:06.200 team if you can't make the tellus. 0:08:06.480 --> 0:08:07.720 And now on the other side of you got this 0:08:07.800 --> 0:08:09.200 young buck. He'll come up and do things. 0:08:09.240 --> 0:08:11.160 And you said, use the word crazy, and I think 0:08:11.200 --> 0:08:13.440 that kind of fits with the way Kamari plays and 0:08:13.560 --> 0:08:17.480 Kaaln's back there. Now you're adding CJ to you, guys, 0:08:18.440 --> 0:08:20.360 what are your thoughts about the secondary and what you've 0:08:20.360 --> 0:08:22.080 got now with those two young bucks. Now in the 0:08:22.120 --> 0:08:25.679 second year, you're coming back, JP, coming back healthy, Chauncey 0:08:25.720 --> 0:08:27.680 being added to the mix. What you think about your 0:08:27.680 --> 0:08:30.680 secondary now, I mean I think I think we can 0:08:30.880 --> 0:08:35.240 just keep growing. There's always room to grow, Like, yeah, 0:08:35.240 --> 0:08:38.000 we had what we how many? Like we all we 0:08:38.080 --> 0:08:41.040 had a couple of sicks each last year? 0:08:42.559 --> 0:08:47.560 Yeah, now that's like twenty I think between y'all. Right, So, 0:08:48.960 --> 0:08:49.600 but I. 0:08:52.000 --> 0:08:55.880 Know I'm speaking for everybody, and I know that we 0:08:56.000 --> 0:08:58.199 all dropped some interceptions like we all Yeah. 0:08:58.200 --> 0:08:59.880 I wasn't gonna say it's gonna let you say. 0:09:01.000 --> 0:09:02.920 We all dropped a light, like we left a lot 0:09:02.920 --> 0:09:06.080 out there on the field. So I mean, just getting 0:09:06.120 --> 0:09:08.360 back to the to the basics of fundamentals like why, 0:09:08.520 --> 0:09:10.720 why did that happen? Why did this happen? And just 0:09:10.720 --> 0:09:12.960 going out there and probably getting like thirty each. 0:09:13.360 --> 0:09:14.120 That'd be nice. 0:09:14.720 --> 0:09:17.480 I got to ask you about the commitment from the organization, 0:09:17.679 --> 0:09:21.600 from the McNair's on down, making that commitment to you 0:09:21.640 --> 0:09:24.240 for the next how many every years? And you said 0:09:24.240 --> 0:09:26.520 it on the podcast. You want to be in Houston. 0:09:27.160 --> 0:09:28.600 Like a lot of us, we want to be in Houston. 0:09:28.640 --> 0:09:31.480 I think when we see players that say we love 0:09:31.520 --> 0:09:33.839 Houston so much, we want to be here that you 0:09:33.840 --> 0:09:36.720 you're endearing yourself to us, but the organization has been 0:09:36.760 --> 0:09:39.080 endeared to you from the McNair's on down. 0:09:39.120 --> 0:09:41.200 How does it feel that they make the commitment to you. 0:09:41.679 --> 0:09:44.040 I mean it feels great, and I mean I want 0:09:44.080 --> 0:09:48.080 to thank thank the McNair's for having me here, believing 0:09:48.120 --> 0:09:53.400 in me since I since I before I got here. Them, 0:09:53.800 --> 0:09:58.800 Nick Cerio, the Miko Dino, see like everybody, everybody. That's 0:09:58.840 --> 0:10:02.200 a part of all my growth as a player in 0:10:02.240 --> 0:10:05.640 the NFL. All but really you know the mcneery Without them, 0:10:05.760 --> 0:10:08.440 I would I wouldn't be here, so no doubt. 0:10:08.600 --> 0:10:11.600 Congratulations Derek Stingley as we know him, all pro sting 0:10:11.640 --> 0:10:12.360 You're the very best man. 0:10:12.360 --> 0:10:13.120 Appreciate your time. 0:10:13.200 --> 0:10:15.560 Thanks all right, It was great to catch up with 0:10:15.840 --> 0:10:18.959 the all pro Derek Stingley three years ninety million. Really 0:10:19.000 --> 0:10:21.640 happy that he is here, and not just Derek Stingley 0:10:21.679 --> 0:10:25.880 but family friends. He is everything that he was cracked 0:10:25.960 --> 0:10:28.600 up to be from twenty nineteen when I started talking 0:10:28.640 --> 0:10:32.359 to him. When he's draft in twenty twenty two, absolutely great. 0:10:32.679 --> 0:10:34.520 How I felt during that because I had a meeting 0:10:34.520 --> 0:10:36.280 earlier and I couldn't do that one. But you know 0:10:36.520 --> 0:10:38.840 it ended up being like this, Johnny, Like when I 0:10:38.880 --> 0:10:42.800 was talking to Clinton Portis, Yeah, twenty fifteen at Washington practice, 0:10:42.840 --> 0:10:44.680 You're like, it's a cane's thing, leave him alone. 0:10:44.720 --> 0:10:46.240 Got it. I felt like you and. 0:10:46.200 --> 0:10:49.680 Derek just needed to talk ball together, two defensive backs 0:10:49.679 --> 0:10:52.199 because you played DBA college. Now he played it a 0:10:52.360 --> 0:10:57.240 slightly I'll say, slightly higher level, slight little bit slight, 0:10:57.280 --> 0:10:59.360 a little bit higher, a little bit high as our 0:10:59.400 --> 0:11:01.959 old friends would say, a little bit, a little bit bit. 0:11:02.280 --> 0:11:04.839 Who doesn't a little bit a little bit, but a 0:11:04.880 --> 0:11:08.160 little bit higher level for staying. But you guys talking 0:11:08.160 --> 0:11:11.040 ball sounded great to me, and I would have been like, yeah, 0:11:11.080 --> 0:11:13.359 you know when you covered the guy and this interstepping 0:11:13.400 --> 0:11:15.040 the ball, that was awesome. 0:11:15.320 --> 0:11:18.600 Been like Farley from SNL. I love talking to him 0:11:18.640 --> 0:11:21.079 about the Tyreek play I got. I wanted to pull 0:11:21.160 --> 0:11:23.439 up every interception and go through everyone. But what I 0:11:23.840 --> 0:11:25.480 took out of that is that his football, like Q, 0:11:25.640 --> 0:11:29.080 is so good, He's so smart. He his recall is 0:11:29.120 --> 0:11:32.280 so good. And I remember talking O'Brien talking to about 0:11:32.280 --> 0:11:35.560 this as well, but about Tom Brady's recall. Tom could 0:11:35.559 --> 0:11:39.400 remember everything from every game and that would help him 0:11:39.400 --> 0:11:42.079 because he would see something years down the road and 0:11:42.160 --> 0:11:44.720 remembered how a defensive coordinator reacted to him. It's just 0:11:44.960 --> 0:11:47.080 it's incredible. I mean, I'm just so glad that he is. 0:11:47.600 --> 0:11:50.000 He and his family and friends are back here in Houston. 0:11:50.040 --> 0:11:51.160 We'll stay here in Houston. 0:11:51.200 --> 0:11:51.600 Never left. 0:11:51.640 --> 0:11:54.640 Gonna stay here in Houston, which is absolutely fantastic. But 0:11:54.800 --> 0:11:59.760 we have news, got news this afternoon. Not made a 0:11:59.760 --> 0:12:05.240 fish bud. The Texans have signed an offensive lineman, in particular, 0:12:05.320 --> 0:12:08.480 a left tackle, one of the very few free agents 0:12:09.920 --> 0:12:12.720 essentially left first of all that had never played for 0:12:12.720 --> 0:12:13.720 the Texans. 0:12:15.080 --> 0:12:16.560 There were a lot of them that had played for 0:12:16.600 --> 0:12:17.240 the Texans. 0:12:17.840 --> 0:12:24.000 Cam Robinson has not played for the Texans, but he will. 0:12:24.160 --> 0:12:27.120 He signs a one year deal to come to the Texans. 0:12:27.120 --> 0:12:28.960 He had been with the Jaguars. We'd faced him every 0:12:29.000 --> 0:12:31.440 year since twenty seventeen. He started as a rookie there 0:12:31.440 --> 0:12:34.400 in Jacksonville and played very well for Jacksonville. Traded in 0:12:34.400 --> 0:12:38.079 Minnesota last year, starting and played for Minnesota the entire year, 0:12:38.080 --> 0:12:39.560 but was a free agent at the end of the year. 0:12:39.600 --> 0:12:41.520 One of the reasons that he was traded because of that, 0:12:41.559 --> 0:12:44.319 because the contract became an unrestricted free agent and the 0:12:44.400 --> 0:12:48.040 Jaguars wanted something for him, and now he becomes a 0:12:48.120 --> 0:12:51.839 Houston Texan. Now rewinded a little bit earlier in the 0:12:51.920 --> 0:12:55.280 day and there had been some scuttle butt on the 0:12:55.360 --> 0:13:00.480 internet that Titus Howard had restructured a deal, and I thought, Okay, 0:13:01.080 --> 0:13:05.440 what does that what's that money earmarked for? Yeah, and 0:13:05.480 --> 0:13:07.560 in a few hours later we found out it's Cam Robinson. 0:13:07.600 --> 0:13:12.839 Mark your gut reaction to Texans signing a legitimate left tackle. 0:13:12.480 --> 0:13:13.800 With a lot of pelts on the wall. 0:13:14.120 --> 0:13:16.680 Yeah, he's played a bunch and I remember when he 0:13:16.760 --> 0:13:20.040 was drafted and the early reports he was struggling in 0:13:20.080 --> 0:13:22.440 camp or something. We were at the Greenbrier getting all 0:13:22.480 --> 0:13:24.920 this stuff and we thought, oh, good, good, because he's 0:13:24.920 --> 0:13:27.920 a Jaguart, we need them to struggle. But they kicked 0:13:27.920 --> 0:13:30.840 ass that year and he played in almost every game 0:13:30.840 --> 0:13:32.280 there's a rookie he played pretty well. 0:13:32.360 --> 0:13:33.199 Yeah, he did. 0:13:33.280 --> 0:13:35.760 And he's had his ups and downs injury wise, and 0:13:35.960 --> 0:13:37.640 you know he's missed some games in recent years. 0:13:37.720 --> 0:13:40.400 Yes, so you have to take that into consideration. 0:13:40.920 --> 0:13:43.880 I don't think this eliminates them drafting a tackle, thank you, 0:13:43.960 --> 0:13:44.800 in the first round. 0:13:44.800 --> 0:13:47.760 I don't think this takes this out of play at all. 0:13:48.200 --> 0:13:50.480 I believe that that's still very much on the table 0:13:50.520 --> 0:13:51.239 for them. 0:13:51.600 --> 0:13:53.960 It's not you know, and I asked you this before 0:13:54.200 --> 0:13:54.680 we went on. 0:13:55.000 --> 0:13:57.520 I said, it's not mat Khalil, it's not larrymy Tunsel, 0:13:57.600 --> 0:13:59.840 and it's not mat Khalil either, Right, mak Khalil was 0:13:59.880 --> 0:14:05.160 just not desperation. But okay, this is insurance with a 0:14:05.280 --> 0:14:07.480 very high deductible on the cheap or something. I don't 0:14:07.520 --> 0:14:09.040 know how to put mak Khalil at the time. 0:14:09.120 --> 0:14:11.440 They just had to do something because maybe mk Khalil 0:14:11.440 --> 0:14:12.440 could have ended up playing. 0:14:12.440 --> 0:14:14.320 You don't know. You had to take a look at him. 0:14:14.480 --> 0:14:15.080 This is not that. 0:14:15.520 --> 0:14:18.840 But it's also not acquiring a stone cold no question, 0:14:18.960 --> 0:14:21.920 he's going to play seventeen games and be elite for you. 0:14:22.440 --> 0:14:26.960 Left tackle acquisition this is something where this could work. 0:14:27.280 --> 0:14:30.120 This could work. It could also be something where he's grooming. 0:14:30.680 --> 0:14:35.040 Well we we canceled that word. Cancel that word. He's 0:14:35.080 --> 0:14:38.360 helping develop a younger tackle. Yes, and maybe it's Blake Fisher, 0:14:38.360 --> 0:14:38.720 who knows. 0:14:38.720 --> 0:14:41.040 Maybe they're thinking, well, Blake's gonna play left and we'll 0:14:41.040 --> 0:14:43.480 bring in Cam to sort of supervise him or whatever. 0:14:43.680 --> 0:14:45.280 Be the guy until he could be the guy. 0:14:45.400 --> 0:14:47.640 I don't know, or they draft a player and that 0:14:47.840 --> 0:14:50.280 is what's going to happen, and they'll let him battle 0:14:50.320 --> 0:14:52.280 it out. If the player's ready, great, If not, Cam's 0:14:52.280 --> 0:14:52.760 gonna play. 0:14:52.880 --> 0:14:55.240 I think what's interesting about it just from so many 0:14:55.280 --> 0:14:59.560 different levels. And Aaron raybol textas and he said, so 0:14:59.720 --> 0:15:02.320 Cam I left tackle, then Titus, and Titus becomes kind 0:15:02.320 --> 0:15:04.680 of the focal point here obviously, Yeah, because what happens 0:15:04.720 --> 0:15:06.360 to Blake, So what. 0:15:06.360 --> 0:15:08.040 Happens to Blake and Titus? 0:15:08.080 --> 0:15:11.240 Just from the standpoint of I think, whatever you do, 0:15:11.320 --> 0:15:14.160 you gotta get your five best out on the field. Now, 0:15:14.320 --> 0:15:16.600 I do think there are some guys that have some versatility. 0:15:16.640 --> 0:15:19.880 I think Grant cam Robinson is a left tackle. I 0:15:19.920 --> 0:15:23.240 think Blake could play right or left tackle. I think 0:15:23.280 --> 0:15:26.960 Titus can play every position on the offensive line. I 0:15:27.000 --> 0:15:31.280 think Jarrett Patterson probably just a center. I think Jewics 0:15:31.280 --> 0:15:33.400 could play center of guard. So my point in bringing 0:15:33.400 --> 0:15:35.760 all that up, you know, Lake and Thomlinson and Ingram, 0:15:35.800 --> 0:15:37.880 the two guys they brought in are probably guards. 0:15:38.320 --> 0:15:40.040 There're gonna be some pieces. 0:15:39.600 --> 0:15:41.720 That they're gonna have to look at, and combinations are 0:15:41.760 --> 0:15:43.520 probably gonna have to look at in mini camp and 0:15:43.600 --> 0:15:47.000 OTAs to go, Okay, how do we like this group? 0:15:47.840 --> 0:15:51.160 How do we like this group? And then you're gonna 0:15:51.200 --> 0:15:53.240 draft an offensive line. And I don't think there's a question. 0:15:53.360 --> 0:15:57.120 But to your point, to your point, signing Cam Robinson 0:15:57.240 --> 0:15:59.680 and having Titus and Blake in house doesn't preclude them 0:15:59.720 --> 0:16:02.600 from t can a tackle. But what it does depending 0:16:02.600 --> 0:16:05.800 on the tackle they select, because they don't think any 0:16:06.000 --> 0:16:10.960 the only like true left tackle, probably only playing left 0:16:11.040 --> 0:16:13.520 tackle that I could see out there, as Josh Simmons 0:16:13.520 --> 0:16:18.800 from Ohio State, others everyone else. I could see tackle, 0:16:19.080 --> 0:16:21.760 left tackle, right tackle. I could see tackle, or guard. 0:16:22.320 --> 0:16:24.120 I could see a lot of them fitting in in 0:16:24.120 --> 0:16:26.600 a number of different ways. Gray's abel I could see 0:16:26.640 --> 0:16:29.440 him playing any of the three positions center, guard, tackle. 0:16:30.240 --> 0:16:32.760 You got to get the five best. I shouldn't say 0:16:32.720 --> 0:16:33.120 it that way. 0:16:33.280 --> 0:16:36.680 You got to get the five that fit together the best, 0:16:36.800 --> 0:16:40.680 and you get the best play out of what was it? 0:16:40.960 --> 0:16:43.560 What did what did her Brooks say in Miracle? 0:16:43.800 --> 0:16:47.280 Kur Russell, I'm not looking for the best players, I'm 0:16:47.320 --> 0:16:49.000 looking for the right players. 0:16:49.400 --> 0:16:51.520 Yeah, and that is exactly what you're looking for. 0:16:51.600 --> 0:16:54.520 And so you you take that bullya base and you go, Okay, 0:16:55.040 --> 0:16:55.920 who are the five? 0:16:56.360 --> 0:16:58.640 Right? What's the right mix? Yeah? 0:16:59.280 --> 0:17:00.840 Well, you know what, tomorrow show, we're gonna have Wade 0:17:00.840 --> 0:17:03.960 Smith on, and Wade played every position on the offensive line, 0:17:04.000 --> 0:17:06.080 So nobody better to have on the air than Sade 0:17:06.080 --> 0:17:09.000 Smith to talk about this very subject and how this 0:17:09.000 --> 0:17:10.000 can all fit together. 0:17:10.600 --> 0:17:12.400 How about this for a comparison. 0:17:13.480 --> 0:17:16.720 We have a young player, possibly Blake, possibly Titus is 0:17:16.760 --> 0:17:20.160 not a young player anymore, but he's at left tackle, 0:17:20.560 --> 0:17:24.160 an underdeveloped left tackle right and maybe he can come 0:17:24.200 --> 0:17:27.080 in and play at Gangbusters from day one, but let's 0:17:27.080 --> 0:17:28.199 just call it what it is. 0:17:28.240 --> 0:17:29.600 He hasn't played there much. 0:17:30.240 --> 0:17:34.320 So what if this is the veteran quarterback you bring 0:17:34.359 --> 0:17:38.640 in until the young guy or the inexperienced guy is ready. 0:17:38.880 --> 0:17:41.280 And if the inexperienced guy is ready, whoever that is, 0:17:42.200 --> 0:17:45.160 well he's gonna play. If he needs a little more seasoning. 0:17:45.520 --> 0:17:48.439 Now the experienced guy is gonna play. I don't know 0:17:48.480 --> 0:17:51.680 how else to weigh this right now, in the absence 0:17:51.720 --> 0:17:55.600 of Nick really talking about it publicly, I'll go with that. 0:17:55.920 --> 0:17:59.000 I'll go with there bringing him in it's even more insurance. 0:17:59.359 --> 0:18:01.560 If not, we feel that he could start at least 0:18:01.560 --> 0:18:04.040 a half a season for us, maybe more, and then 0:18:04.040 --> 0:18:05.400 maybe somebody takes over from there. 0:18:05.440 --> 0:18:06.919 Maybe it all works out wonderfully. 0:18:07.000 --> 0:18:09.800 He's in year nine, maybe that's it. Maybe he's able 0:18:09.880 --> 0:18:12.199 to play the whole year and he's our guy. So 0:18:12.560 --> 0:18:14.399 it's one year contract. There's a reason why he's on 0:18:14.400 --> 0:18:16.399 the market though, right right, it's a. 0:18:16.359 --> 0:18:19.600 One year contract, and what I've seen online it's fourteen 0:18:19.960 --> 0:18:22.200 and a half million dollars. I think it's what it is. 0:18:23.359 --> 0:18:30.040 So my thought is I agree with you that. And look, 0:18:30.080 --> 0:18:32.439 there's you know people that are like, oh, you're pay 0:18:32.520 --> 0:18:34.600 him that much money, he's automatically a starter. Well, the 0:18:34.600 --> 0:18:37.280 Seahawks paid Matt Flynn three years twenty four million dollars 0:18:38.200 --> 0:18:41.000 back when what three years it would be like three 0:18:41.080 --> 0:18:44.560 years and about forty million dollars now or more to 0:18:44.600 --> 0:18:45.359 be a quarterback. 0:18:45.440 --> 0:18:47.399 And they didn't even get the week one with Matt Flynn. 0:18:47.520 --> 0:18:49.720 They decided Russell Wilson was the guy, and Russell Wilson 0:18:49.760 --> 0:18:50.720 was a third round draft pick. 0:18:50.760 --> 0:18:51.840 They moved Russell Wilson in. 0:18:52.040 --> 0:18:55.040 He took over as the quarterback and stayed in Seattle 0:18:55.080 --> 0:18:57.240 for a very long time. Matt Flynn really hadn't heard 0:18:57.240 --> 0:19:01.119 from much since then. I could appe it if you 0:19:01.320 --> 0:19:04.600 end up drafting the right guy and that guy is 0:19:04.680 --> 0:19:08.800 ready at some point, you don't have to rush them. 0:19:09.480 --> 0:19:11.320 You could get them a custom get them. 0:19:11.320 --> 0:19:12.200 You know, used to playing. 0:19:12.200 --> 0:19:14.640 You get a lot of reps in the preseason playing 0:19:14.720 --> 0:19:17.800 left tackle because you kind of know what Cam Robinson is. 0:19:17.840 --> 0:19:19.960 But you got to get Cam some obviously, some reps 0:19:19.960 --> 0:19:23.080 to get comfortable with what was being called, what the 0:19:23.080 --> 0:19:26.280 line calls, playing next to a particular guard. You can 0:19:26.359 --> 0:19:27.960 do a lot of that in training camp, maybe do 0:19:28.040 --> 0:19:32.440 with some control practices against teams, joint practices, et cetera. 0:19:33.240 --> 0:19:36.560 But it at least gives you some options that you 0:19:36.600 --> 0:19:39.600 can go to. And to your point about Matt Kalilly, 0:19:40.080 --> 0:19:42.480 I think it's a better option than Matt Kalil. Like 0:19:42.560 --> 0:19:45.600 Matt was really at the end of his life injury. 0:19:46.200 --> 0:19:47.920 He was at the end of it. He was beat up. 0:19:48.200 --> 0:19:51.400 It was a miracle to have him get out there 0:19:51.440 --> 0:19:53.560 for a series of getting right right. 0:19:53.600 --> 0:19:57.560 I think Cam can can still play. Was he was 0:19:57.600 --> 0:20:00.359 he what he was four or five years ago. Hard say, 0:20:00.400 --> 0:20:03.840 but at least you have him on that roster and he's. 0:20:03.640 --> 0:20:05.160 Going to be motivated a one year deal. 0:20:05.920 --> 0:20:07.560 You know you want to get another big deal, you 0:20:07.600 --> 0:20:09.840 want to cash in again. Well, play well in your 0:20:09.840 --> 0:20:12.399 one year, right and do everything right. You got the 0:20:12.440 --> 0:20:14.159 opportunity to do it here. You got an opportunity to 0:20:14.160 --> 0:20:15.840 do it with one of the thirty other teams. So 0:20:16.240 --> 0:20:21.480 I think from that perspective, it's you asked me put the. 0:20:21.480 --> 0:20:24.159 Tunsil Khalil scale where is it? 0:20:24.240 --> 0:20:26.800 And I literally put it right in the middle, I said, 0:20:27.440 --> 0:20:30.040 because I think he can play beyond what Matt. I 0:20:30.080 --> 0:20:31.879 mean matccalil hadn't played for like two years when we 0:20:31.880 --> 0:20:34.000 got him, I think in twenty nineteen or something like that. 0:20:34.880 --> 0:20:37.879 He's not larim at tunsl But what you now have 0:20:38.000 --> 0:20:40.600 done is the piece you've added to the buoy base. 0:20:40.680 --> 0:20:43.560 And because of the position that he plays, you now 0:20:43.600 --> 0:20:47.120 have options in the draft to be able to say, 0:20:47.160 --> 0:20:50.520 you know what, all these linemen are pushing down to us, 0:20:50.560 --> 0:20:53.800 which one do which one do we have rated highest? 0:20:53.880 --> 0:20:55.280 And do we feel the best about it? 0:20:55.320 --> 0:20:56.960 And it doesn't even have to be a first round draft, 0:20:57.200 --> 0:20:59.080 that's right, That's what you could pick two or two 0:20:59.119 --> 0:21:02.680 in the one in the pick you know, right, tackles 0:21:02.680 --> 0:21:05.200 in this organization's history who played really well like Eric 0:21:05.240 --> 0:21:08.600 Winston third round draft choice, Derek Newton's seventh round draft choice. 0:21:08.720 --> 0:21:12.119 So, George off the top of the garbage heap. You 0:21:12.119 --> 0:21:13.440 don't mean where it's gonna come from. 0:21:13.480 --> 0:21:15.240 How many reps did Charlie Heck give you over there 0:21:15.240 --> 0:21:16.119 to a fourth rounder. 0:21:16.200 --> 0:21:18.080 I think it gives you a lot of options at 0:21:18.080 --> 0:21:21.200 twenty five. If Nick stays at twenty five, but if 0:21:21.240 --> 0:21:22.720 you do stay at twenty five, it gives you a 0:21:22.760 --> 0:21:25.000 lot of options. And maybe it is going to be 0:21:25.080 --> 0:21:28.320 a receiver because we feel better than we thought, and 0:21:28.359 --> 0:21:30.480 based on who's dropping, we feel like in the second 0:21:30.520 --> 0:21:32.160 round we could pick somebody up. We have two third 0:21:32.240 --> 0:21:34.720 round selections we can mess with to move up in 0:21:34.760 --> 0:21:38.280 the second round as well to see what's available if 0:21:38.320 --> 0:21:40.520 something good is there mid second round. 0:21:40.640 --> 0:21:42.000 There are a lot of different ways you can go. 0:21:42.160 --> 0:21:46.080 You mentioned it with Tomlinson, with Ingram, now with Robinson. 0:21:46.359 --> 0:21:48.800 There are three guys coming in along with the guys 0:21:48.800 --> 0:21:53.000 you have. You feel like it's hard to pinpoint exactly 0:21:53.040 --> 0:21:54.919 how they're gonna line up, but you got a lot 0:21:54.960 --> 0:21:57.040 to work with. Now that's adding to the depth. You're 0:21:57.040 --> 0:22:00.600 adding to the room and clearly they feel good about it. 0:22:00.640 --> 0:22:02.280 They would not have thrown that kind of money at 0:22:02.359 --> 0:22:03.960 him if they didn't feel really good about him. 0:22:04.000 --> 0:22:07.240 Do we have a paint company that is a sponsor 0:22:07.240 --> 0:22:10.080 of the Texans that we're aware of. I don't think 0:22:10.119 --> 0:22:13.000 we do, Okay, So basically, we went to Sherwin Williams 0:22:13.080 --> 0:22:14.320 and we just got a bunch of paint. 0:22:14.720 --> 0:22:16.680 You didn't want to say the wrong spot, right, that's right. 0:22:16.800 --> 0:22:18.000 We went to Williams. 0:22:18.040 --> 0:22:20.160 We got a bunch of cans of paint, and now 0:22:20.359 --> 0:22:21.640 we got to figure out. 0:22:22.080 --> 0:22:24.240 With those cans of paint, how are we going to 0:22:24.320 --> 0:22:26.720 make it look good up on a canvas. Yeah, and 0:22:27.000 --> 0:22:27.840 we're not done going. 0:22:27.880 --> 0:22:30.840 We got another trip to Sherwin Williams coming up in April, right, 0:22:31.040 --> 0:22:34.280 and we could even go free agency wise, there could 0:22:34.280 --> 0:22:37.240 be there could be another move coming now. Obviously you 0:22:37.280 --> 0:22:40.199 know with the money, salary cap all that kind of stuff, 0:22:40.200 --> 0:22:43.159 you're you're button up against it. But you want to 0:22:43.240 --> 0:22:46.080 be able to be ready to strike if there is 0:22:46.119 --> 0:22:48.760 another deal. Like Tevin Jenkins is still out there, and 0:22:48.840 --> 0:22:53.040 Tevin Jenkins, when healthy can be he is absolutely swarmy 0:22:53.080 --> 0:22:57.000 when he's healthy playing guard. So it's not done and 0:22:57.160 --> 0:22:59.639 I heard SHAWNA Seth talking about this this morning because 0:23:00.400 --> 0:23:03.679 they were talking about panicking in a sense like are 0:23:03.760 --> 0:23:09.000 you panicked? And I was like, it's March nineteenth, there's 0:23:09.040 --> 0:23:11.480 no reason to panic, Like why panic not? Even there's 0:23:11.680 --> 0:23:15.440 no sense in panicking at this point because you woke 0:23:15.520 --> 0:23:18.640 up Cam Robinson was not a Texan. Now you're going 0:23:18.640 --> 0:23:21.399 to eat dinner, or if you're late and you realize 0:23:21.480 --> 0:23:24.320 Cam Robinson is a Texan, the text helps you and 0:23:24.359 --> 0:23:25.520 you got a lot of paint, now. 0:23:25.480 --> 0:23:26.040 Figure it out. 0:23:26.160 --> 0:23:29.479 The national pundits are already putting them under so much 0:23:29.480 --> 0:23:31.680 scrutiny and will continue to do so because of the 0:23:31.760 --> 0:23:33.920 Laramie deep right, because it was a risk, and from 0:23:33.960 --> 0:23:37.400 the outside looking in, it's a tremendous risk. 0:23:37.560 --> 0:23:39.240 And maybe from the inside looking out it's. 0:23:39.160 --> 0:23:44.440 A tremendous risk because you're really reshuffling the deck and 0:23:45.119 --> 0:23:48.120 getting rid of one of the key cards. Here you've 0:23:48.160 --> 0:23:51.200 added some others and now you're looking for that good hand, 0:23:51.359 --> 0:23:53.840 the five fingers in the glove up front. Can they 0:23:53.880 --> 0:23:56.800 do it? Will they do it? We don't know until 0:23:56.840 --> 0:23:59.160 we see it. You know, everyone's gonna have their opinions, 0:23:59.200 --> 0:24:01.320 and somebody right, so may be wrong, but we're not 0:24:01.359 --> 0:24:03.399 going to know until we see the whole mix on 0:24:03.480 --> 0:24:05.320 the field. I just want to see them run the 0:24:05.359 --> 0:24:07.280 ball better, Johnny. I want to see them inflict their 0:24:07.320 --> 0:24:10.560 will on people. Run the ball a little more, play action, 0:24:11.040 --> 0:24:12.480 run it downhill a little bit more. 0:24:12.560 --> 0:24:15.680 Make life easier for CJ. Stroud. All related to this 0:24:16.359 --> 0:24:17.000 I saw. 0:24:17.119 --> 0:24:19.480 And I can't credit the person because I don't know 0:24:19.480 --> 0:24:21.680 who came up with it, but I saw this graphic. 0:24:21.720 --> 0:24:25.359 It was a stat Mahomes in the Super Bowl pressure 0:24:25.440 --> 0:24:27.600 rate thirty eight percent or something like that. 0:24:28.560 --> 0:24:28.879 CJ. 0:24:29.000 --> 0:24:33.360 Stroud all season long, thirty eight percent or close to it. 0:24:33.359 --> 0:24:35.560 It shows you what he was undergoing, because Mahomes looked 0:24:35.600 --> 0:24:38.560 terrible in the Super Bowl, and look CJ held it 0:24:38.640 --> 0:24:43.320 together under that kind of pressure during the entire regular season. 0:24:43.400 --> 0:24:47.199 And that's why you went to Sherman Williams and you 0:24:47.320 --> 0:24:48.359 went and got. 0:24:48.119 --> 0:24:50.800 A lot of paint, because you got to figure out 0:24:50.840 --> 0:24:52.520 what paint goes together. And by the way, when you 0:24:52.560 --> 0:24:54.600 put five fingers in a glove, I don't need that 0:24:54.640 --> 0:24:57.440 glove to be like all sequined and jazzy on one finger, 0:24:57.520 --> 0:24:59.240 the rest of them just like a bunch of nubs. 0:24:59.560 --> 0:25:01.359 I want the love to be cohesive and want it 0:25:01.400 --> 0:25:02.520 to be nice, and I. 0:25:02.480 --> 0:25:04.480 Want that glove to be able to work and come 0:25:04.480 --> 0:25:06.640 together like a fist and punch people writing them out. 0:25:06.680 --> 0:25:09.680 That would be really, really fun. Okay, we get back 0:25:10.080 --> 0:25:15.399 the NFL. Well, it's teams have submitted some proposals that 0:25:15.480 --> 0:25:19.159 need to be considered rule changes a couple weeks from 0:25:19.200 --> 0:25:21.400 now at the annual meetings. We'll see what happens then 0:25:21.480 --> 0:25:23.320 and we'll talk about the next on Texans All Access. 0:25:23.359 --> 0:25:26.360 We'll go back to this Wednesday issue of Texans All Access. 0:25:26.480 --> 0:25:31.480 John and Mark with you. The Texans have signed Cam Robinson. 0:25:31.560 --> 0:25:34.760 According to sources, Mark and I discussed that in the 0:25:34.800 --> 0:25:36.880 first segment. If you want to listen to that on 0:25:36.920 --> 0:25:40.480 the podcast, make sure you're checking out all of our podcasts. Okay, Mark, 0:25:40.520 --> 0:25:43.160 we do this every year. Now, where are you going 0:25:43.200 --> 0:25:45.240 to be in two. 0:25:45.119 --> 0:25:48.080 Weeks I'll be at the NFL Annual Meeting otherwise known 0:25:48.080 --> 0:25:49.240 as the Owners Meetings. 0:25:49.320 --> 0:25:54.320 Yes, the Annual League meeting. We always do this, and 0:25:54.960 --> 0:25:59.040 these I think get kind of interesting. NFL teams have 0:25:59.240 --> 0:26:01.480 proposed rule change. 0:26:01.560 --> 0:26:03.480 Oh yeah, let's go. So there are. 0:26:03.440 --> 0:26:08.680 Three on field and then two off field. Well, actually 0:26:08.680 --> 0:26:13.440 there more than that off field. Yeah, there are two. 0:26:13.680 --> 0:26:16.439 That's two there, and then the Steelers have one. Two Okay, 0:26:17.200 --> 0:26:19.119 now the Steelers one off the field is kind of 0:26:19.280 --> 0:26:23.840 it has to do with how you can contact a 0:26:23.920 --> 0:26:26.840 player during the tampering period. Yeah, I saw that one, 0:26:26.880 --> 0:26:30.200 So it's kind of interesting how you can go about it. 0:26:30.400 --> 0:26:35.200 So the Steelers have, uh, they've thrown in a rule that, hey, 0:26:35.200 --> 0:26:37.639 there should at least be one one phone call they 0:26:37.680 --> 0:26:38.280 can make. 0:26:38.160 --> 0:26:39.520 And all that kind of stuff, so we can get it. 0:26:39.560 --> 0:26:40.560 That one. 0:26:40.840 --> 0:26:45.040 Probably the one that's gotten the most attention is this 0:26:45.080 --> 0:26:48.919 one from the green Bay Packers. So I think we 0:26:49.000 --> 0:26:50.880 knew back when this came out it was the green 0:26:50.920 --> 0:26:55.160 Bay Packers, but now we know for sure. Club rule 0:26:55.240 --> 0:26:59.240 change proposal green Bay Packers Rule twelve, Section one to 0:26:59.440 --> 0:27:03.680 prohibit an offensive player from pushing a teammate who was 0:27:03.760 --> 0:27:07.080 lined up directly behind the snapper and receives the snap 0:27:07.160 --> 0:27:12.720 immediately at the snap AKA abolish. 0:27:11.840 --> 0:27:13.400 The tush push right. 0:27:13.800 --> 0:27:18.320 Your thoughts, Well, it's worded very precisely, so if you're 0:27:18.440 --> 0:27:22.520 downfield or away from where the snap was taken, yeah, 0:27:22.720 --> 0:27:25.840 I can still push you, right, I could push you along. 0:27:26.320 --> 0:27:28.239 Why are we doing this? If one is. 0:27:28.680 --> 0:27:31.240 I understand that everyone's crowded in around the snap with 0:27:31.280 --> 0:27:33.800 the tush push, the brotherly shove, whatever you call it, 0:27:34.359 --> 0:27:37.120 but we still allow, we still want to allow pushing 0:27:37.520 --> 0:27:41.400 if it's on the edge, right, So the ball down 0:27:41.440 --> 0:27:44.639 the field and there's this big rugby scrum, Yeah, guys pushing, 0:27:44.640 --> 0:27:47.840 they can push them, right, But now the quarterback can 0:27:47.960 --> 0:27:51.240 be pushed. Yeah, quarterback can't be pushed. So why is 0:27:51.280 --> 0:27:54.320 one okay and not the other? Why all of it. 0:27:54.240 --> 0:27:56.639 Eagles have mastered one and not the other. Yeah, I 0:27:56.640 --> 0:27:57.760 guess so that's why. 0:27:57.840 --> 0:28:00.000 And everybody kind of benefits from the other from time 0:28:00.119 --> 0:28:00.400 to time. 0:28:00.480 --> 0:28:00.920 That's right. 0:28:01.200 --> 0:28:03.399 The touch push, it's hard to benefit from because you 0:28:03.400 --> 0:28:07.960 don't do it well, you're not willing to risk doesn't 0:28:08.000 --> 0:28:11.959 Jalen hurts squat some unbelievable. 0:28:12.920 --> 0:28:16.800 So he's super strung. He can take that punishment. You know. 0:28:16.960 --> 0:28:20.439 You do that with a more diminutive signal caller and 0:28:20.480 --> 0:28:21.640 you might break him in half. 0:28:22.560 --> 0:28:27.000 So look, Johnny, I don't know. I feel like. 0:28:27.080 --> 0:28:31.160 For safety reasons, maybe it should be abolished. But give 0:28:31.200 --> 0:28:35.000 me the data, right, if it's not causing that many injuries, 0:28:35.359 --> 0:28:38.960 you know what, stop it? Stop it. It's a rugby scrump. 0:28:39.120 --> 0:28:42.240 You can't deal with a rugby scrum in professional football exactly. 0:28:42.480 --> 0:28:45.120 The thing about it from a health perspective is it's 0:28:45.160 --> 0:28:50.040 not a full on like collision because you're already there. 0:28:49.840 --> 0:28:50.920 You're right there. 0:28:51.080 --> 0:28:53.680 Yeah, it's not like it's a ten yard difference where 0:28:53.680 --> 0:28:56.480 you're running full speed in it like somebody up. 0:28:56.560 --> 0:29:00.600 So from a health standpoint, I mean, I don't know 0:29:00.600 --> 0:29:00.920 if his. 0:29:01.000 --> 0:29:03.520 Match shop got hurt by Albert Haynesworth and a freaking 0:29:03.600 --> 0:29:04.280 quarterback sneak. 0:29:04.360 --> 0:29:07.600 I mean, the only thing you know, your foot crushed, 0:29:08.400 --> 0:29:11.960 it's fat Albert Haynesworth. Those things happen. The thing. 0:29:12.080 --> 0:29:14.480 The thing about it is like, okay, quarterback gets in 0:29:14.560 --> 0:29:19.320 there and he's kind of upright, and he gets back 0:29:19.480 --> 0:29:21.880 and people are like, okay, but that's He's like the 0:29:21.920 --> 0:29:24.600 wires at the rodeo stage during the Journey show. 0:29:25.240 --> 0:29:27.120 Oh you know what, you know what happened there? What 0:29:28.040 --> 0:29:31.840 stage is rotating right? Yeah, it's theater in the round 0:29:31.880 --> 0:29:36.600 and it rotates. Yeah, well something got messed up where 0:29:36.760 --> 0:29:42.040 things loosened up, so now you're rotating and you're twisting things. 0:29:42.320 --> 0:29:46.480 They just do the visual math on that. With wires 0:29:46.520 --> 0:29:49.479 and electricity way through them. Apparently, I'm going to give 0:29:49.480 --> 0:29:53.600 you one more thing. Apparently it got so hot the 0:29:53.640 --> 0:29:57.640 fire that some of the cabling and wires turned into 0:29:57.720 --> 0:29:58.720 piles of goo. 0:30:00.080 --> 0:30:00.480 That bad. 0:30:01.760 --> 0:30:04.360 Yeah, And there, I know I'm taking a terrible tangent here. 0:30:04.640 --> 0:30:09.680 There was one guy who brought a circuitry board or 0:30:09.680 --> 0:30:11.400 something home with him to his shop. 0:30:11.800 --> 0:30:13.920 Welded it all night long. Oh God, this guy's a 0:30:13.960 --> 0:30:14.480 freaking hero. 0:30:14.760 --> 0:30:17.320 No, he's an expert to make sure that they can 0:30:17.360 --> 0:30:19.960 do the show the next night, had it back by 0:30:20.160 --> 0:30:23.719 dawn and they rehooked it up and made everything safe 0:30:24.000 --> 0:30:24.560 and they. 0:30:24.440 --> 0:30:25.520 Pulled it off beautifully. 0:30:25.560 --> 0:30:27.400 And I love stories like this because that guy's not 0:30:27.440 --> 0:30:29.520 getting any recognition in here because I really. 0:30:29.400 --> 0:30:31.000 Don't even know who it was. But you know, I 0:30:31.080 --> 0:30:34.360 got these little tidbits of information. 0:30:35.040 --> 0:30:37.120 Well guess what's not happening at the bottom of the 0:30:37.120 --> 0:30:40.920 tush push piles of Google right exactly, all right, So 0:30:40.960 --> 0:30:43.360 that's plan number one. I say leave it. I don't 0:30:43.360 --> 0:30:48.440 think there's anything this next one to me. I actually 0:30:49.200 --> 0:30:53.080 I like this one. The lions are now proposed The 0:30:53.080 --> 0:30:57.480 lions got busy here. The lions that proposed changing Rule 0:30:57.520 --> 0:31:02.360 eight Section four to a eliminate an automatic first down 0:31:02.480 --> 0:31:06.800 as a penalty imposed for defensive holding in illegal contact. 0:31:07.120 --> 0:31:09.120 All right, so this is how it works. It's third 0:31:09.160 --> 0:31:13.400 and ten. Yeah, you got defensive holding. Yeah, five yard penalty. 0:31:13.520 --> 0:31:17.240 It's third and five, right, should be third and five. 0:31:17.800 --> 0:31:21.760 But in reality it's an automatic first down, right right now, 0:31:21.760 --> 0:31:24.160 it's an automatic first douce, right, that's what the lines 0:31:24.200 --> 0:31:27.600 are proposing. No, it's five yards. So it was third 0:31:27.600 --> 0:31:29.560 and three, Yeah, you get your first down. It's the 0:31:29.640 --> 0:31:31.239 distance awarded third and ten. 0:31:31.320 --> 0:31:32.080 It goes to third and five. 0:31:32.640 --> 0:31:35.160 You tell me, Johnny, how many defensive holding could be 0:31:35.160 --> 0:31:38.840 pretty egregious? Why is offensive holding ten yards and defensive 0:31:38.880 --> 0:31:42.960 holding is five yards? How come no one proposes offensive 0:31:43.000 --> 0:31:47.480 holding five yards? Why does in a league that wants offense? 0:31:47.800 --> 0:31:52.200 Why is offensive holding so punitive? It's a drive freaking killer? 0:31:52.640 --> 0:31:55.320 Right? Why not make it five yards? I don't know. 0:31:55.960 --> 0:31:58.719 It's a good point. How about making defensive holding ten yards? 0:31:59.440 --> 0:32:01.440 I would do that, doubt I would do. And then 0:32:01.520 --> 0:32:03.760 no first no automatic first down. So if it's third 0:32:03.760 --> 0:32:06.880 and fifteen, it's third and five, right with the penalty, I. 0:32:06.880 --> 0:32:08.640 Think going to ten yards. 0:32:09.120 --> 0:32:11.760 Leo contacts Thay in five I think, hang on, I 0:32:11.840 --> 0:32:14.560 just changed the I want to go back to offensive holding. 0:32:15.440 --> 0:32:18.120 Why don't we Why don't we do this? Offensive holding 0:32:18.200 --> 0:32:22.040 is five yards? Would it be too crazy? Everyone's gonna 0:32:22.040 --> 0:32:25.160 hold like crazy as too much of a I think 0:32:25.200 --> 0:32:26.240 you go non risk. 0:32:26.640 --> 0:32:28.560 I think it's the defense that goes up to ten 0:32:28.640 --> 0:32:29.600 to keep him consistent. 0:32:30.560 --> 0:32:31.840 I don't like both of them at five. 0:32:32.080 --> 0:32:33.400 I don't I don't like both of them at five 0:32:33.440 --> 0:32:35.840 because you can just clutch and grab, and especially if 0:32:35.840 --> 0:32:38.400 it's not gonna be automatic first down. It's like third 0:32:38.400 --> 0:32:43.480 and thirteen and Kelsey has your beat and you just 0:32:43.520 --> 0:32:46.000 reach out and grab him. You know it's not gonna 0:32:46.000 --> 0:32:47.880 be an automatic first down. All of a sudden it's third 0:32:47.920 --> 0:32:51.040 and eight, or actually it'd be third and three. I 0:32:51.120 --> 0:32:52.480 like that better than third and eight. 0:32:52.960 --> 0:32:56.040 Flavorite one an automatic first down. 0:32:56.240 --> 0:32:58.520 I think I think both offensive defensive holding should be 0:32:58.560 --> 0:33:02.040 ten yards. And obviously offensive holding is not going to 0:33:02.120 --> 0:33:04.520 create a first down, but I think defensive holding should 0:33:04.520 --> 0:33:05.840 not create a first down either. I agree with the 0:33:05.880 --> 0:33:09.640 lines on this automatic defensive holding you've got then you 0:33:09.760 --> 0:33:12.520 then you would have defensive past interference at fifth or 0:33:12.600 --> 0:33:16.200 uh spot foul, you'd have defensive holding for ten is 0:33:16.240 --> 0:33:17.440 ego contact for five? 0:33:18.600 --> 0:33:21.280 Okay the ah really? 0:33:21.600 --> 0:33:24.920 Wait, illegal contact and defensive holding two different things. 0:33:24.720 --> 0:33:27.320 Two different penalties, because they are their two different penalties. 0:33:27.400 --> 0:33:29.560 Why do they have two different penalties? Have two different 0:33:29.640 --> 0:33:34.280 have two different uh? Have two different penalty? Uh, two 0:33:34.280 --> 0:33:35.040 different penalties? 0:33:35.080 --> 0:33:38.200 So no automatic first downs other than PI, that's right, 0:33:38.280 --> 0:33:40.560 because it's spot Oh so spot of foul even if 0:33:40.600 --> 0:33:42.440 it's seven yards on a third. 0:33:42.200 --> 0:33:44.080 And yeah, DP, I mean DPI is a spot foul. 0:33:44.080 --> 0:33:47.200 Anyways, this spot file automatic, that's fine, that's fine. But 0:33:47.280 --> 0:33:50.520 if something is dean defensive holding or legal contact once ten, 0:33:50.640 --> 0:33:52.280 once five, that's what I would do. But right now 0:33:52.280 --> 0:33:57.040 they're both five well five, But they will not according 0:33:57.080 --> 0:33:59.720 to the Lions, they want it change. They do not 0:33:59.760 --> 0:34:01.880 want automatic first down. You know why I think this 0:34:01.960 --> 0:34:05.920 is important because if we ever go to fourth and fifteen, Yeah, on. 0:34:05.840 --> 0:34:06.640 The on side kick. 0:34:06.800 --> 0:34:09.040 Oh that was when Matt money Smith brought up with 0:34:09.040 --> 0:34:09.760 those at the combine. 0:34:09.840 --> 0:34:11.720 Yeah, some people. One of the things he was against 0:34:12.000 --> 0:34:13.160 was defense holding. 0:34:13.160 --> 0:34:15.320 You the contact, which is not a fifteen yard penalty, 0:34:15.600 --> 0:34:18.600 also gives you an automatic first down. Well, if you change 0:34:18.600 --> 0:34:21.400 the rule and make both of them five yard penalties, 0:34:21.440 --> 0:34:22.839 but it doesn't give an automatic first down. 0:34:23.239 --> 0:34:27.719 Now that becomes playable fourth and fifteen. Holding will run 0:34:27.840 --> 0:34:29.360 rampant in on those plays. 0:34:30.320 --> 0:34:33.520 Yeah, oh totally, yeah. Absolutely. Let's like pick up basketball. 0:34:34.160 --> 0:34:38.320 It's like when when you're it's point game. Yeah, rab anybody, 0:34:38.360 --> 0:34:40.799 you punch anybody like they're not getting a good shot off. 0:34:41.120 --> 0:34:43.160 You know. It's kind of like that. It might be 0:34:43.239 --> 0:34:46.360 fourth to two. Yeah, you're not going to the line 0:34:46.480 --> 0:34:47.359 the ball. Shut up. 0:34:47.440 --> 0:34:49.879 You might have four cracks at it after like three 0:34:49.880 --> 0:34:53.480 different deventsal holdings, but you're not going to get that one. Okay, 0:34:53.640 --> 0:34:58.680 this is uh number three. This is from the Eagles. Okay, 0:35:00.000 --> 0:35:04.040 if the Packers suck their soft leave the push push, No, 0:35:04.120 --> 0:35:08.120 that's not what it is. Eagles say, Rule sixteen, Section 0:35:08.200 --> 0:35:11.920 one to align, You're like this one to align the 0:35:11.960 --> 0:35:17.040 postseason and regular season overtime rules by granting both teams 0:35:17.040 --> 0:35:20.240 an opportunity to possess the ball regardless of the outcome 0:35:20.280 --> 0:35:24.240 in the first possession, subject to a fifteen minute overtime 0:35:24.320 --> 0:35:26.560 period in the regular season. 0:35:26.719 --> 0:35:30.360 Yes, because I agree. I want to go back to 0:35:30.400 --> 0:35:33.040 the old way, but they won't do it. No, I 0:35:33.080 --> 0:35:36.120 want to go back to straight. 0:35:35.960 --> 0:35:38.359 Up sudden death. Yeah, straight up sudden death. 0:35:38.520 --> 0:35:42.279 Oh, Mark, you can't know, incentivize the teams to win 0:35:42.320 --> 0:35:45.839 the game in regulation overtime, it's, oh my gosh, what's 0:35:45.880 --> 0:35:48.000 going to happen? But they're never going to do that, 0:35:48.040 --> 0:35:51.560 So let's just put that away. That's pie in the sky. 0:35:51.680 --> 0:35:55.319 The way it is now is stupid because it's a 0:35:55.400 --> 0:35:59.360 ten minute overtime period. You are flirting with tie disaster 0:35:59.640 --> 0:36:04.600 every time time out. It doesn't take much. It's three percent, 0:36:04.719 --> 0:36:08.879 it's one. Actually you'll probably get two or one team 0:36:08.880 --> 0:36:10.600 will get to one team will get one, right if 0:36:10.640 --> 0:36:14.880 you play it out unless things get crazy. But you 0:36:14.920 --> 0:36:16.759 see what I'm saying, And there's isn't there a two 0:36:16.800 --> 0:36:18.800 minute warning in the ten minute period? 0:36:19.719 --> 0:36:22.400 I think stupid? Make it a quarter? 0:36:22.800 --> 0:36:25.320 Make it a quarter, and so you agree with the 0:36:25.320 --> 0:36:27.560 Eagles on this and give each team a possession? 0:36:27.600 --> 0:36:30.359 Ya give each time or not? If you're gonna do that, 0:36:31.000 --> 0:36:33.960 do this? Yeah, I tend to like that. 0:36:34.040 --> 0:36:37.880 Okay, The next two and the last two that I've 0:36:37.920 --> 0:36:41.600 seen here from the Lions. Now, the first one I'll 0:36:41.719 --> 0:36:46.720 read to you. It's Article seventeen, Section one seventy one 0:36:47.520 --> 0:36:51.320 to exclude from the ninety player limit. A player placed 0:36:51.360 --> 0:36:54.480 on reserve slash into reserve before or on the day 0:36:54.520 --> 0:36:57.040 of the roster reduction of fifty three players, unless such 0:36:57.080 --> 0:36:58.480 players designate before return. 0:36:59.200 --> 0:37:01.759 Huh yeah, exactly. So forget that, we're not gonna spend 0:37:01.760 --> 0:37:03.640 any time on that. I don't know they can. That's 0:37:03.680 --> 0:37:06.920 a sure past. It sounds good. 0:37:06.760 --> 0:37:10.279 But this one becomes really interesting because it would have 0:37:10.360 --> 0:37:15.680 impacted us last year. Okay, Article seventeen, Section one seventy 0:37:15.760 --> 0:37:20.960 one from the Lions to amend the current playoff seating format. 0:37:21.200 --> 0:37:24.400 Oh yeah, to allow wild card teams to be seated 0:37:24.560 --> 0:37:28.799 higher than division champs if the wildcard team has a 0:37:28.840 --> 0:37:31.600 better regular season record. 0:37:32.120 --> 0:37:35.480 Yeah, I understand this. So that means the Texans would 0:37:35.480 --> 0:37:36.840 have gone where last year. 0:37:36.760 --> 0:37:39.520 The Texans would have gone to LA. They would have 0:37:39.520 --> 0:37:43.320 played the Chargers in LA. Players are Chargers had the better. 0:37:43.120 --> 0:37:45.160 Record even though they did not win the eighth They 0:37:45.160 --> 0:37:48.200 were eleven and six Texans were ten. I know this 0:37:48.360 --> 0:37:51.240 is not going to be popular with a lot of people, 0:37:51.880 --> 0:37:53.359 but I'm going to say this is the right thing 0:37:53.400 --> 0:37:56.359 to do. I think if you win your division, I 0:37:56.560 --> 0:37:59.799 don't devalue winning the division by not giving a playoff berth. 0:37:59.840 --> 0:38:01.840 You got to give a playoff berth. So even if 0:38:01.880 --> 0:38:03.960 you win your division at seven and ten for some 0:38:04.880 --> 0:38:09.520 horrible reason, you get in because you won that division, 0:38:10.400 --> 0:38:13.040 But that does not mean you get to host automatically. 0:38:13.080 --> 0:38:15.160 You have to have a good enough record to host. 0:38:15.239 --> 0:38:18.440 I think that's fair, Johnny. Look, yeah too. There have 0:38:18.480 --> 0:38:20.840 been times in our history where that would not have 0:38:20.880 --> 0:38:24.600 been good for us. Seeing the Houston Texans going on 0:38:24.640 --> 0:38:28.160 the road in that wild card weekend action never done 0:38:28.200 --> 0:38:30.799 it before. Every time you've been in the postseason, you've 0:38:30.840 --> 0:38:33.399 been at home. Because every time you've been you've been 0:38:33.400 --> 0:38:36.360 in the AFC South champ two years ago could have 0:38:36.360 --> 0:38:39.960 been a wild card, but the Jacksonville Jaguars helped us 0:38:39.960 --> 0:38:41.719 out by losing to Derrick Henry on the last day 0:38:41.719 --> 0:38:42.280 of the season. 0:38:43.040 --> 0:38:47.279 That was awesome. But I do agree with this. 0:38:47.560 --> 0:38:50.040 I do agree with this now that we've gotten all 0:38:50.040 --> 0:38:52.800 those home wins, I agree with it because the Texans 0:38:52.800 --> 0:38:54.319 will be in better shape next year, I hope. 0:38:54.440 --> 0:38:55.200 So that would have. 0:38:55.160 --> 0:38:57.959 Been the only change in the AFC, Like we would 0:38:57.960 --> 0:39:01.080 have gone, we would have gone to LA instead of 0:39:01.080 --> 0:39:03.000 them cominganged. 0:39:03.080 --> 0:39:04.919 NFC would have changed things significantly. 0:39:05.080 --> 0:39:07.080 The Rams are going on the road. That's right, well, 0:39:07.320 --> 0:39:09.839 on the road anyway in Arizona, but really on the right. 0:39:10.000 --> 0:39:12.600 The Lions would have been one, the Vikings would have 0:39:12.680 --> 0:39:16.600 been two. I'm sorry, I don't know, Eagles Vikings. 0:39:16.600 --> 0:39:18.239 I don't know how that would have I don't know 0:39:18.239 --> 0:39:20.160 how that would have broken out both over fourteen and three. 0:39:20.719 --> 0:39:24.399 So I would imagine Lions one. Well, division winner would 0:39:24.440 --> 0:39:26.560 win the tie break, agin play each other. I don't 0:39:26.560 --> 0:39:27.160 I don't remember. 0:39:27.800 --> 0:39:35.319 Eagles two, Vikings three, then Packers four. I'm sorry, Commander's four, 0:39:36.320 --> 0:39:39.080 Packers five. So the Packers would have gone to Washington. 0:39:39.440 --> 0:39:39.879 Is that right? 0:39:40.960 --> 0:39:44.720 You would have had the Rams go to the Lion 0:39:44.800 --> 0:39:46.520 Oh no, no, no, the Rams would have gone to the 0:39:46.600 --> 0:39:48.799 Vikings instead of the other way around. That game would 0:39:48.800 --> 0:39:51.200 have been played in Minnesota. Now, after watching that game, 0:39:51.200 --> 0:39:52.840 I don't know that would have made much difference. But 0:39:53.239 --> 0:39:57.200 the NFC playoffs would have been totally, incompletely all jacked up. 0:39:57.239 --> 0:40:00.279 And oh the Rams, Yeah, the Rams to have gone 0:40:00.320 --> 0:40:06.520 to the Vikings, and so there's complete difference. Now you 0:40:06.560 --> 0:40:09.040 can argue the other side of it, which is okay, 0:40:10.080 --> 0:40:12.120 AFC South wasn't great last year. 0:40:12.120 --> 0:40:13.959 Well, the NFC North got to play us. 0:40:14.760 --> 0:40:16.360 That made it easier for that, I don't know, but 0:40:16.400 --> 0:40:19.120 in the NFL, I think everything being equal, I actually 0:40:19.160 --> 0:40:22.360 agree with this one as well, even though we benefited 0:40:22.360 --> 0:40:25.839 from it and winning the division is it's I think 0:40:25.840 --> 0:40:29.200 that that college football is going to make this change too, 0:40:30.280 --> 0:40:33.440 because if you set up a ranking system, like what 0:40:33.480 --> 0:40:34.759 are you setting up the rankings for? 0:40:35.440 --> 0:40:37.120 Like if a team is number five in. 0:40:37.080 --> 0:40:42.040 Your rankings, but oh, once we factor in our team 0:40:42.080 --> 0:40:44.279 that wins the conference gets a buy sort of thing. 0:40:44.360 --> 0:40:46.160 All of a sudden, team goes from number five down 0:40:46.160 --> 0:40:46.759 to number ten. 0:40:46.800 --> 0:40:49.399 Like wait a second, that doesn't that doesn't feel right right, 0:40:49.440 --> 0:40:51.600 that doesn't it doesn't seem right now. I know college 0:40:52.200 --> 0:40:55.240 colleges are a little jankier because the schedules aren't even 0:40:55.320 --> 0:40:55.759 like they are. 0:40:55.719 --> 0:40:58.839 Not out but right, it's a good point you make. 0:40:59.040 --> 0:41:01.279 There's enough of a Paris and you can make there. 0:41:01.560 --> 0:41:01.880 Yeah. 0:41:01.920 --> 0:41:04.680 So the Saints, why did I say the Saints, the 0:41:04.760 --> 0:41:07.319 Vikings and the Lions squared off last game of the 0:41:07.320 --> 0:41:10.680 regular season for all the marbles, all the marbles the 0:41:10.760 --> 0:41:16.080 Vikings lost With this format, they would still lose the bye. Yes, 0:41:16.239 --> 0:41:18.200 they would still lose the buy. So there was plenty 0:41:18.280 --> 0:41:21.400 to play for. Yeah, In that winner take all number 0:41:21.400 --> 0:41:21.920 one seed. 0:41:22.920 --> 0:41:23.839 And so one of the. 0:41:23.800 --> 0:41:27.200 Things that I saw that was written was like, you 0:41:27.239 --> 0:41:30.680 know the Texans. Now, I know it was week eighteen 0:41:30.719 --> 0:41:33.640 and we had winning the game, so the arguments whatever moved, 0:41:33.640 --> 0:41:35.920 but they were like, well, the Texans would still have 0:41:36.000 --> 0:41:38.719 to play even though they had won a division. I 0:41:38.760 --> 0:41:40.960 understand that we didn't go to Kansas City and not 0:41:41.040 --> 0:41:43.680 try and win that game, right, even though we look 0:41:43.760 --> 0:41:46.880 lousy against Baltimore, we didn't try and not win that game, right, 0:41:46.960 --> 0:41:48.799 we went to Tennessee. But it would give you even 0:41:48.880 --> 0:41:51.440 more incentive, right, it would give you even more incentive, 0:41:51.440 --> 0:41:53.200 which I find to shout the season to make sure 0:41:53.239 --> 0:41:57.359 you get you know, think about US US at home 0:41:57.400 --> 0:41:59.359 in a playoff game versus US away a playoff game, 0:41:59.400 --> 0:42:00.280 two different things. 0:42:00.360 --> 0:42:05.320 Yeah, so it's the universe would be different, definitely different. 0:42:05.320 --> 0:42:07.040 Playing the Chargers in La yep. 0:42:07.200 --> 0:42:10.080 Although come on, you're still gonna get after Herbert, but 0:42:10.120 --> 0:42:15.279 I get it. Yeah, this place was rocking that night 0:42:15.480 --> 0:42:17.239 and you don't want to lose that. 0:42:17.600 --> 0:42:19.280 And you bring up a great point. 0:42:19.480 --> 0:42:23.279 Last season, I thought one of the underlying issues with 0:42:23.360 --> 0:42:26.160 this team was the fact that they didn't have the 0:42:26.200 --> 0:42:29.480 division clinched, but it was looking like it was wrapped 0:42:29.520 --> 0:42:31.800 up for a long time, for like a couple of months, 0:42:32.520 --> 0:42:35.160 and unless you screw it up, and they almost did, 0:42:35.920 --> 0:42:38.359 but they didn't because they beat the Dolphins that day. 0:42:38.360 --> 0:42:40.400 They clinched the division later when the Colts lost to 0:42:40.440 --> 0:42:41.960 the Denver Broncos. 0:42:42.440 --> 0:42:44.359 But I like it. 0:42:44.440 --> 0:42:47.680 I like the extra insative to play even better in 0:42:47.760 --> 0:42:50.160 those late season games if you have a big lead 0:42:50.200 --> 0:42:50.760 in your division. 0:42:50.760 --> 0:42:54.239 I actually like all of these except push alone. The 0:42:54.280 --> 0:42:57.560 Packers are being weasels about that, like stop, stop every 0:42:57.560 --> 0:42:58.000 other one. 0:42:58.040 --> 0:42:59.680 I like, I feel like it was a bigger deal 0:42:59.800 --> 0:43:01.680 the year before or two years before. 0:43:01.719 --> 0:43:04.640 But whatever, what's that the tush push? 0:43:04.800 --> 0:43:07.360 Yeah, I mean, and I thought with the safety emphasis 0:43:07.400 --> 0:43:10.000 they might do it, but again maybe the data just 0:43:10.040 --> 0:43:10.799 doesn't back it up. 0:43:10.880 --> 0:43:14.400 Yeah, I mean went in doubt, go back to the data. 0:43:14.480 --> 0:43:17.399 What about kickoffs? What are we doing here so saying 0:43:17.440 --> 0:43:20.000 thing about it? But we already had it was a 0:43:20.040 --> 0:43:21.400 one year deal, so we'll see. 0:43:21.680 --> 0:43:23.480 They already had it out there that they might move 0:43:23.520 --> 0:43:25.320 the touch back to the third and there's. 0:43:25.120 --> 0:43:26.480 Nothing been announced about that yet. 0:43:26.840 --> 0:43:29.239 Now there's still time because you don't it's a couple 0:43:29.200 --> 0:43:29.800 of weeks away. 0:43:29.840 --> 0:43:32.640 But oh, they table votes also for May a lot 0:43:32.640 --> 0:43:35.920 because there's another big owners meetings in May, right, not 0:43:36.040 --> 0:43:36.920 with all the coaches, and. 0:43:37.000 --> 0:43:38.399 Just not the one I get to go to in May. 0:43:38.920 --> 0:43:40.440 You get to go to the one that they are 0:43:40.480 --> 0:43:41.879 not having in July. 0:43:42.160 --> 0:43:43.400 I get to go to the one that they have 0:43:43.680 --> 0:43:46.560 in January and mobile, yes, that's when I get to that. 0:43:46.560 --> 0:43:48.120 That's a big one. That's a big one, and very 0:43:48.160 --> 0:43:48.960 much is a big one. 0:43:49.000 --> 0:43:52.520 Now coming up, final thoughts on Cam Robinson becoming a 0:43:52.560 --> 0:43:53.920 Texan and other things. 0:43:53.640 --> 0:43:56.160 Going around the NFL. Next right here in Texans All Access. 0:43:56.360 --> 0:43:59.640 Yes, sir, welcome back Texans All Access from not Texans 0:43:59.680 --> 0:44:02.560 Already Studio. I am John Harris, your host, Glad to 0:44:02.640 --> 0:44:06.239 be with you to finish up this Wednesday show. And well, 0:44:06.400 --> 0:44:10.080 it's been a little quiet around the Texans other than 0:44:10.320 --> 0:44:12.480 Sting's extension, which we had a chance to catch up 0:44:12.520 --> 0:44:14.920 with him. If you missed my interview with sting go 0:44:15.080 --> 0:44:18.399 check out the podcast for the first segment of the show, 0:44:18.480 --> 0:44:20.640 actually for all segments of the show if you missed it. 0:44:21.160 --> 0:44:23.680 But Derrek Stingley Junior obviously signs the extension. He stepped 0:44:23.680 --> 0:44:26.560 in studio that was really really fun. The other news 0:44:27.560 --> 0:44:31.439 that accompanied our interview with Sting was the fact that 0:44:31.800 --> 0:44:38.040 Cam Robinson, former Viking, former Jaguar, former Crimson tied All American, 0:44:39.280 --> 0:44:42.720 signed a one year deal with the Houston Texans. Now 0:44:43.840 --> 0:44:48.839 Cam was the I think in some cases, I think 0:44:48.880 --> 0:44:50.520 it was NFL Dot Comedy pff. 0:44:50.560 --> 0:44:52.759 He No, it's the athletic. The athletic. He was the 0:44:52.880 --> 0:44:54.880 number four tackle on that list. 0:44:54.920 --> 0:44:56.879 Now, some of them had already gone back to their 0:44:56.880 --> 0:44:57.920 own teams, et cetera. 0:44:58.520 --> 0:45:01.719 But Cam was available. Texans jumped all over it. 0:45:01.960 --> 0:45:04.800 And as I said in the first segment, to me, 0:45:04.920 --> 0:45:06.839 this is about throwing paint up on the canvas. I've 0:45:06.840 --> 0:45:09.920 seen some people say the guy that I enjoyed from 0:45:09.920 --> 0:45:13.759 the Athletic, Ted Winn was like, you know, Kolepopovitch, good 0:45:13.840 --> 0:45:16.759 luck with putting together off its line with Ingram Lake 0:45:16.800 --> 0:45:21.600 and Tomlinson and Cam Robinson. It's a challenge, obviously with 0:45:21.640 --> 0:45:25.040 whatever the Texans are gonna do. But there's no telling 0:45:25.560 --> 0:45:28.640 a how many of these guys they've acquired are gonna 0:45:28.640 --> 0:45:30.920 start be how many guys that were in a building 0:45:30.960 --> 0:45:36.240 are already gonna start See, there's no telling what the 0:45:36.320 --> 0:45:38.839 situation will be once we get to Week one, and 0:45:38.920 --> 0:45:41.480 there's no telling what we're gonna do to draft. So 0:45:41.719 --> 0:45:46.040 you might draft two starters in the draft, two young guys, 0:45:46.200 --> 0:45:48.400 and you might play them alongside Cam Robinson. You might 0:45:48.440 --> 0:45:50.960 play them alongside Titus Hour, you might play them alongside 0:45:51.440 --> 0:45:55.239 Blake Fisher. Who's to say to me, there's no at 0:45:55.239 --> 0:45:58.239 this point, there is nothing set and stunt about this 0:45:58.320 --> 0:46:00.759 offensive line other than tyas how it will be here 0:46:01.040 --> 0:46:03.400 because obviously they just restructed his contract. 0:46:03.680 --> 0:46:05.480 Other than that, you don't know. 0:46:05.840 --> 0:46:08.359 Even signing Cam Robinson, you'd think it that money, he's 0:46:08.360 --> 0:46:10.520 probably gonna be your left tackle starter, But there's no 0:46:11.040 --> 0:46:14.440 there's no rock solid guarantee that that's gonna take place. 0:46:14.880 --> 0:46:18.360 You don't know that Texas are still and are still 0:46:18.400 --> 0:46:21.400 in the mode of construction for this offensive line. But 0:46:21.520 --> 0:46:25.680 Cam Robinson brought in he's watching him this afternoon after 0:46:25.719 --> 0:46:28.000 the news broke about Cam Robinson. 0:46:28.000 --> 0:46:30.640 I think he still got some pretty good juice left. 0:46:30.680 --> 0:46:31.200 Like I watched the. 0:46:31.160 --> 0:46:34.080 Week eighteen game against the Lions. I mean that's late 0:46:34.080 --> 0:46:37.840 in the year, tired. He looked like he moved really 0:46:37.880 --> 0:46:40.160 really well. Like it looked like the Cam Robinson I 0:46:40.160 --> 0:46:43.359 remember from younger, his younger days earlier in his career 0:46:43.360 --> 0:46:48.000 when he was with Jacksonville. So again, is it is 0:46:48.040 --> 0:46:51.759 it bringing in a rock solid, you know, one like 0:46:51.840 --> 0:46:55.040 he's gonna be the left tackle of the future. No, 0:46:55.320 --> 0:46:57.719 but if he get some good play out of Cam Robinson, 0:46:57.760 --> 0:46:59.719 it allows maybe other pieces to kind of fall in 0:46:59.719 --> 0:47:02.319 a play place where you want them. So we'll see 0:47:02.320 --> 0:47:04.759 what it turns out to be. Became Robinson is a 0:47:04.920 --> 0:47:08.280 Houston Texan and you have listened to Texans All Access 0:47:08.280 --> 0:47:09.040 and I appreciate that. 0:47:09.080 --> 0:47:09.879 Thank you so much. 0:47:10.200 --> 0:47:13.759 We appreciate that NCAA basketball coming up right here on 0:47:13.800 --> 0:47:14.719 Sports Radio six ten. 0:47:14.760 --> 0:47:16.760 We'll see them all, everybody, and as always, go Texans.
