1 00:00:00,840 --> 00:00:04,640 Speaker 1: Rick Prolepside has the first Animore up the sideline forty 2 00:00:04,840 --> 00:00:10,920 Speaker 1: thirty twenty ten five touchdown. Jouston, there is no off 3 00:00:10,960 --> 00:00:16,479 Speaker 1: season for your Houston Texans. Game day is every day. No, 4 00:00:17,079 --> 00:00:22,159 Speaker 1: it's Texans all Lexans. Third down and eight at the 5 00:00:22,239 --> 00:00:25,880 Speaker 1: Houston twelve. Ruth bus right side. Alan takes the snap 6 00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:28,800 Speaker 1: on third down, he's got time and he's sacked back 7 00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:32,200 Speaker 1: at the twenty three yard line by h. J. Watt 8 00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:36,280 Speaker 1: and the crowd erupts. Oh yeah. That was from the 9 00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:41,440 Speaker 1: Buffalo playoff game last year, the twenty nineteen playoffs, when 10 00:00:41,560 --> 00:00:45,159 Speaker 1: Watt sacked Allan had turned the game around. Field goal ensued. 11 00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:47,599 Speaker 1: It was a sixteen nothing Bills lead. But that was 12 00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:51,559 Speaker 1: a fuse lit by number ninety nine JJ Watt, who 13 00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:55,640 Speaker 1: is no longer a Houston Texan. Mutual parting of the 14 00:00:55,720 --> 00:01:04,400 Speaker 1: ways today between what and the Houston. There's unforgettable moments 15 00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:11,680 Speaker 1: and off field situations and endearing moments. Things that he 16 00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:15,399 Speaker 1: did that we will never forget. Things that got publicity, 17 00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:19,040 Speaker 1: so many that didn't. I know, my buddy John Harris 18 00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:22,360 Speaker 1: wrote about one today that finally does get some publicity. 19 00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:24,480 Speaker 1: I think he has told the story maybe once or 20 00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:28,000 Speaker 1: twice throughout Watt's tenure here in Houston, but it is 21 00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:31,600 Speaker 1: over now. Mark vanderber John Harris with you on Texans 22 00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:34,760 Speaker 1: All Access as we will talk about number ninety nine 23 00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:39,760 Speaker 1: JJ Watt tonight, who is undoubtedly, Look, we could say, 24 00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:41,680 Speaker 1: is he one of the greatest Texans? Is he the 25 00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:44,560 Speaker 1: greatest Texans? That's a debate for another day. I mean, 26 00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:46,880 Speaker 1: there are so many great players, and of course what 27 00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:49,840 Speaker 1: I think stands alone Johnny with Andrey Johnson as the 28 00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:53,120 Speaker 1: two greatest Texans ever. But we don't have to debate 29 00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:55,760 Speaker 1: that tonight. I mean, Watt has done stuff that's just 30 00:01:55,960 --> 00:02:00,440 Speaker 1: unparalleled in the history of defensive players in this league. 31 00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:02,880 Speaker 1: And we've got all sorts of stuff up on Houston 32 00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:05,520 Speaker 1: Texans dot Com, on the Texans App for everyone to enjoy, 33 00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:09,280 Speaker 1: to remember the career. And it's a sad day. We're 34 00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:12,639 Speaker 1: all happy that JJ gets to continue his career. We're 35 00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:14,560 Speaker 1: sad that it's going to be somewhere else. These things 36 00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:18,440 Speaker 1: happen in professional football, great defensive players, great offensive players, 37 00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:22,280 Speaker 1: finishing their career somewhere else. Someday he'll be back, Someday 38 00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:25,160 Speaker 1: he'll be in the Ring of honor. Cal McNair, Hannah McNair, 39 00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:27,640 Speaker 1: They will make sure of that. But right now we 40 00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:30,800 Speaker 1: talk about the career that was the decade in Houston 41 00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:33,760 Speaker 1: for number nine and nine JJ watch, Johnny, Thanks so 42 00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:36,040 Speaker 1: much for being on today a very special night. As 43 00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:39,440 Speaker 1: you and I have been on so many shows where 44 00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:41,640 Speaker 1: we have to talk about the big news of the day. 45 00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:44,440 Speaker 1: Sometimes it's bad news, sometimes it's good news. This is 46 00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:50,120 Speaker 1: really it's not good news. It's not unexpected news. I 47 00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:53,040 Speaker 1: know that we're in a transition era here with the 48 00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:57,000 Speaker 1: Houston Texans. Everybody feels that. Everybody knows that, and I 49 00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:59,320 Speaker 1: think tonight just has to be all about JJ Watt. 50 00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:01,400 Speaker 1: A little bit on the organization, but all about J J. 51 00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:05,440 Speaker 1: Watton celebrating what a terrific I mean beyond terrific, what 52 00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:09,800 Speaker 1: a spectacular career he had here in Houston. Yeah, you know, 53 00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:13,359 Speaker 1: it's amazing. I there's there's so many things we can hit. 54 00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:17,360 Speaker 1: The one thing I want to start with and you 55 00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:21,040 Speaker 1: alluded to it, Mark, but talking about the two greatest Texans, 56 00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:24,520 Speaker 1: Andre Johnson and j J. Watt, but those two men 57 00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:27,600 Speaker 1: have done for our community is just is just incredible. 58 00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:31,880 Speaker 1: Because when you get drafted by an NFL team. I 59 00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:34,519 Speaker 1: mean a lot of times you'd never been in that city, 60 00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:40,040 Speaker 1: you have no designs on living there. You don't like. Okay, 61 00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:42,720 Speaker 1: I'm going where I'm going to. I'm going to Houston. 62 00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:46,080 Speaker 1: I remember Dre talking about he didn't like he didn't 63 00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:49,680 Speaker 1: like chopped in screwed music. He hated it and then 64 00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:51,760 Speaker 1: he ends up in the land of it and then 65 00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:53,520 Speaker 1: grew to love it, and he grew to love Houston, 66 00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:56,120 Speaker 1: and he embraced Houston. And you know, he takes the 67 00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:59,880 Speaker 1: kids on the shopping spree, which was always fun to see, 68 00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:02,400 Speaker 1: you know, Dre with that long receipt that he had 69 00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:05,600 Speaker 1: just given back to the kids, and and JJ and 70 00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:07,960 Speaker 1: all the things that he did in the community. And 71 00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:10,880 Speaker 1: the one I didn't write about today, but the one 72 00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:15,400 Speaker 1: that I think most about, you know, Saturday night, September 73 00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:19,280 Speaker 1: or late August of seventeen, We're in New Orleans and 74 00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:23,760 Speaker 1: we're trying to finish this godforsaken preseason game against the Saints, 75 00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:27,800 Speaker 1: and there are guys on the sidelines with you know, 76 00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:31,400 Speaker 1: texting back home like, hey, are you guys okay? You 77 00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:33,760 Speaker 1: know Jeff Kaplan at the time, you know, our team trainer, 78 00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:37,159 Speaker 1: Colin's family and they're having to get, you know, taken 79 00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:39,800 Speaker 1: out by boat from his house. I mean, it's a 80 00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:43,560 Speaker 1: it's a mess. I mean, we're all just I've never 81 00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:46,520 Speaker 1: seen anything like that night mark because when I got 82 00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:50,440 Speaker 1: back to the locker room, everybody was outside on their phones. 83 00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:52,800 Speaker 1: You don't normally see that after a game, everybody's changing 84 00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:55,400 Speaker 1: or whatever. I saw players coach everybody on the phone. 85 00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:57,120 Speaker 1: What are we doing? Where are we going? And we 86 00:04:57,160 --> 00:05:01,839 Speaker 1: go to Dallas, and it's in Dallas where I don't 87 00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:03,560 Speaker 1: think any of us slept that night. I think we 88 00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:06,040 Speaker 1: got to Dallas. We had you and I and maybe 89 00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:07,440 Speaker 1: a few others DP Drew. I think we had a 90 00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:10,040 Speaker 1: meeting like two thirty or three in the morning, like, hey, 91 00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:12,359 Speaker 1: let's get some sleep. We'll reconvene at like seven or 92 00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:14,640 Speaker 1: eight in the morning. And by that point JJ had 93 00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:19,680 Speaker 1: put out his tweet about, Hey, let's see what we 94 00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:22,200 Speaker 1: can do for the city of Houston. Here's my goal, 95 00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:26,720 Speaker 1: here's how you can give money, please do let's let's 96 00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:29,880 Speaker 1: do this for our our city of Houston. Remember him 97 00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:31,920 Speaker 1: saying our city of Houston, and that meant a lot, 98 00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:36,800 Speaker 1: And watching that thing grow was unbelievable, and it was 99 00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:38,880 Speaker 1: just him sitting in that hotel room, like we all 100 00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:42,040 Speaker 1: were in Dallas going what do we do? We can't 101 00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:45,719 Speaker 1: even we can't get home. And JJ was like, you 102 00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:48,280 Speaker 1: know what, I'm doing something form my city, for our city. 103 00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:51,680 Speaker 1: I don't think anybody will ever no matter how you 104 00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:54,440 Speaker 1: felt about JJ the player, And if you had issues 105 00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:57,159 Speaker 1: with JJ the player, then what the heck is wrong 106 00:05:57,200 --> 00:05:59,960 Speaker 1: with you? But I don't don't think anybody is would 107 00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:02,640 Speaker 1: have an issue with you know, even if you didn't 108 00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:04,520 Speaker 1: like him, like I didn't really like on the field. 109 00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:07,320 Speaker 1: But man, he raised thirty eight million dollars to this 110 00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:11,560 Speaker 1: city just by saying please help and did it and 111 00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:14,559 Speaker 1: became the Walter Peyton Man of the Year as a result. 112 00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:15,960 Speaker 1: But it was there were so many other things that 113 00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:18,400 Speaker 1: he did. Um, you go to Houston Texas dot com. 114 00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:20,680 Speaker 1: You go to my Twitter feed at your Hair's football 115 00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:22,960 Speaker 1: and you can see the story that I wrote. I 116 00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:25,160 Speaker 1: don't know, Mark, if I know I told you that story. 117 00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:27,040 Speaker 1: I don't know if I ever. I kind of made 118 00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:30,560 Speaker 1: a point that when that happened that I wouldn't I 119 00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:33,160 Speaker 1: didn't want to say that story about JJ was still there. 120 00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:35,040 Speaker 1: We talked so much. I don't know what's on the air, 121 00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:37,120 Speaker 1: and what's I know. I know that, but if you 122 00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:38,599 Speaker 1: want to go, if you want to go check it out. 123 00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:41,240 Speaker 1: It's a it's a personal story. Tell it later in 124 00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:44,760 Speaker 1: the show. Okay, all right, I'll I will try to, 125 00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:47,880 Speaker 1: but it will not be easy to get through. I 126 00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:50,120 Speaker 1: will not be easy to get through because I cannot. 127 00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:53,279 Speaker 1: I cannot have us both get emotional. Because I read 128 00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:55,120 Speaker 1: it today, I got emotional. I can't even have us 129 00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:58,400 Speaker 1: both like get emotional. And segment one of Texans All Access, No, 130 00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:00,240 Speaker 1: we got a long way to go here tonight, and 131 00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:01,960 Speaker 1: we had a lot to talk about it. But that's 132 00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:04,680 Speaker 1: a phenomenal story. And yeah, I'm sorry. I thought maybe 133 00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:06,440 Speaker 1: you told it on the air once, but that is 134 00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:10,240 Speaker 1: that's really a tremendous story. On Houston Texans dot Com, 135 00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:13,360 Speaker 1: I wrote something called mega Memories, and I just feel 136 00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:16,760 Speaker 1: like Johnny the thing about what when people from out 137 00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:20,000 Speaker 1: of town have me on their shows and I know 138 00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:21,480 Speaker 1: that you do a lot of these, I do a 139 00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:24,280 Speaker 1: lot of these, and they want to know about J. J. 140 00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:26,960 Speaker 1: Watt and they see the great plays, they see everything 141 00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:29,280 Speaker 1: he's done here on the field. I just go right 142 00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:33,240 Speaker 1: to his first offseason before we ever played it down, 143 00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:35,160 Speaker 1: and the Barry kids to me, the Barry kids tell 144 00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:36,960 Speaker 1: you all you need to know about JJ Watt because 145 00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:40,920 Speaker 1: it's the lockout year. It's twenty eleven. There's no contact 146 00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:43,360 Speaker 1: between player and team, and these are rookies. What's part 147 00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:45,960 Speaker 1: of that rookie class? And he could be here for 148 00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:48,120 Speaker 1: the draft and pick up the playbook from Wade Phillips 149 00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:50,240 Speaker 1: at the time and Gary Kubiak, but that's it. Then 150 00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:52,440 Speaker 1: you're on your own, buddy, Go work out, find a 151 00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:54,679 Speaker 1: way to get it done before we see in camp, hopefully, 152 00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:57,080 Speaker 1: because there's a lockout and it didn't get settled until 153 00:07:57,120 --> 00:07:59,560 Speaker 1: a few days before camp. Anyway, he hears about this 154 00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:02,520 Speaker 1: horrible accident with the very kids, and if you don't know, 155 00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:05,400 Speaker 1: that's two brothers, Peter and Aaron, who were nine and 156 00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:08,880 Speaker 1: eight years old at the time. They sustained serious spinal 157 00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:11,760 Speaker 1: cord injuries in a car accident that left their parents dead. 158 00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:16,000 Speaker 1: Their younger sister was mostly unharmed. But Watt heard about 159 00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:18,760 Speaker 1: this and took it upon himself. He can't go to 160 00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:21,080 Speaker 1: the stadium and get Texans gear. He bought some at 161 00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:25,280 Speaker 1: Academy Sports and Outdoors, goes to the hospital and he 162 00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:28,240 Speaker 1: spends time with the kids and gives them Texans gear 163 00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:32,280 Speaker 1: that's just unbelievable, takes it upon himself. Now that's just 164 00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:35,560 Speaker 1: one of the many, many things he did without publicity. Look, 165 00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:37,360 Speaker 1: he did a lot of stuff that did get publicity, 166 00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:39,840 Speaker 1: and it was all great stuff off the field. This 167 00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:42,960 Speaker 1: didn't until later, until after the fact when people found 168 00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:45,320 Speaker 1: out about it, and what an incredible story it is. 169 00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:47,360 Speaker 1: And I think they're lifelong friends. And by the way, 170 00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:51,439 Speaker 1: the kids have an incredible you know, this thing's in progress. 171 00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:52,800 Speaker 1: I mean, I think one of the kids got an 172 00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:55,400 Speaker 1: offer at Alabama and all this other stuff, but we'll 173 00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:57,720 Speaker 1: get it to that another time. The point is that 174 00:08:57,720 --> 00:09:00,120 Speaker 1: that's gonna tell you everything you need to know about J. J. 175 00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:02,720 Speaker 1: Watt as a person. And then he gets to Camp Johnny, 176 00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:05,520 Speaker 1: and I'll never forget. It's Cal McNair who tells me, 177 00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:08,080 Speaker 1: you know, we're we're sort of watching practice, you know 178 00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:10,079 Speaker 1: how it is. You're staying standing on the sideline, And 179 00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:12,480 Speaker 1: I mentioned Watt and he said nobody can block him. 180 00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:15,360 Speaker 1: And Watt's knocking every pass down. And this is his 181 00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:19,880 Speaker 1: rookie camp, and you can clearly see something specialist brewing. 182 00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:23,040 Speaker 1: But during the regular season, it's it's not no, not 183 00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:25,400 Speaker 1: a butt, it's just and during the regular season, it's 184 00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:28,480 Speaker 1: not a spectacular rookie campaign, but it's a really solid 185 00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:31,360 Speaker 1: one until you get to the playoffs where he explodes 186 00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:33,880 Speaker 1: with the pick six against Cincinnati and the playoffs and 187 00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:35,480 Speaker 1: the rest is history. That just put him on the 188 00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:39,440 Speaker 1: national stage superstardom. It was over at that point, but 189 00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:42,400 Speaker 1: I'm gonna take some credit here, you know how you're ready, 190 00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:44,840 Speaker 1: because like I am not one to pass up, you know, 191 00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:50,440 Speaker 1: giving myself credit. No, I I did say this. I 192 00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:52,920 Speaker 1: did say this heading into the postseason. I said, I 193 00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:55,000 Speaker 1: think that guy can be the biggest star of the team. 194 00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:58,319 Speaker 1: I really think so. I think there's something there. And 195 00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:00,920 Speaker 1: boy was I right. And against year credit except what 196 00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:03,959 Speaker 1: I give myself credit, which is really lame. It's horrible, 197 00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:06,640 Speaker 1: and I apologize deeply for that. But no, it just 198 00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:11,880 Speaker 1: recalled that. Well, here's the thing. One of either your 199 00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:19,400 Speaker 1: superpowers or JJ's superpowers was being able essentially to put 200 00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:23,320 Speaker 1: out the Watt signal. One of my favorite stories as 201 00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:27,120 Speaker 1: it pertains to JJ, happening at twenty fourteen. We're playing 202 00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:30,800 Speaker 1: now twenty fourteen, that's my first year in the sidelines. Obviously, 203 00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:33,560 Speaker 1: I had seen and Ben in Houston for his first 204 00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:36,400 Speaker 1: three years, and so I watched it up close and in. 205 00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:42,959 Speaker 1: My dad is from Wisconsin, loves Badgers, loves everything about 206 00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:46,000 Speaker 1: the Badgers, and coming up on that draft, he's like, yeah, 207 00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:48,719 Speaker 1: Texans should draft JJ Watt and I'm like, damn, where 208 00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:51,040 Speaker 1: are they gonna play him? I mean, they've got Mario, 209 00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:52,960 Speaker 1: They've got the you know, like, where are they gonna 210 00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:55,160 Speaker 1: play JJ? Doesn't I don't know if it fits, but 211 00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:57,120 Speaker 1: I love him. I don't know where it's gonna fit. 212 00:10:57,800 --> 00:10:59,560 Speaker 1: And so my dad had been telling me about JJ, 213 00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:02,240 Speaker 1: and I'm like, Dad, I watched JJ million times. I 214 00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:03,880 Speaker 1: love him. I just don't know where they're gonna playhim. Well, 215 00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:06,319 Speaker 1: they figured it out, but I get on the sidelines 216 00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:08,240 Speaker 1: of twenty fourteen, and that obviously is the year in 217 00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:10,520 Speaker 1: which he I think he was second it for the MVP, 218 00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:14,280 Speaker 1: which he should have gotten, but all the things he 219 00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:17,320 Speaker 1: was doing in that year, it was just incredible. But 220 00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:20,760 Speaker 1: it was to a point where you Mark vander Meer, 221 00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:26,240 Speaker 1: the voice of Texans, could ask for a play like 222 00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:31,040 Speaker 1: by name, We're down thirty one, thirty three, twenty one 223 00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:34,319 Speaker 1: to the Colts on Thursday night. We're getting kicked into 224 00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:36,800 Speaker 1: teeth early. They I think they jumped out twenty it 225 00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:40,640 Speaker 1: was Texans Chiefs. They jumped out twenty four nothing, and 226 00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:44,960 Speaker 1: I'm like this sucks. I'm like Colts, my first Colts, 227 00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:48,040 Speaker 1: my first Colts game. And it's twenty four to nothing, 228 00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:51,160 Speaker 1: and luck is carving us up t wise going off 229 00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:53,120 Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden we wake up and 230 00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:56,000 Speaker 1: now we start making place and we cut it too. 231 00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:57,960 Speaker 1: I think it was twenty seven fourteen and a half. 232 00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:01,120 Speaker 1: And then they get it the thirty three twenty one, 233 00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:03,439 Speaker 1: but we get stopped. I forgot how we didn't. We 234 00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:05,160 Speaker 1: didn't get any end zone. We had an opportunity. We 235 00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:07,160 Speaker 1: didn't get an the end zone. They get the ball 236 00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:12,920 Speaker 1: back and it's third down, and I remember you distinctly saying, 237 00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:18,199 Speaker 1: come on, JJ's time to make a play, and on 238 00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:22,240 Speaker 1: that I swear to you, it's time to make a play. 239 00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:24,960 Speaker 1: And all of a sudden, the ball comes out. He 240 00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:27,280 Speaker 1: gets up off the ground, picks it up and runs 241 00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:30,360 Speaker 1: it in and the place is going apoplectic. It's the 242 00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:33,480 Speaker 1: second loudest that I have heard it when he picked 243 00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:36,160 Speaker 1: it up and ran that football the other way to 244 00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:38,760 Speaker 1: make it thirty three, twenty eight and you called it. 245 00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:42,080 Speaker 1: But that's how good he was in twenty fourteen. You 246 00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:45,880 Speaker 1: could almost call your shot and he was going to 247 00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:49,040 Speaker 1: make a play and you didn't know exactly what it 248 00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:51,120 Speaker 1: was going to be, but you just knew he was 249 00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:54,880 Speaker 1: going to do something that was incredible. And I think 250 00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:59,280 Speaker 1: he had fifty plus quarterback hits in that twenty fourteen season. 251 00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:03,880 Speaker 1: It was outstanding. We've got that highlight. I don't know 252 00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:06,920 Speaker 1: if this uh and this this came from our archives, 253 00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:08,720 Speaker 1: I don't know if it has. I believe I said, 254 00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:11,640 Speaker 1: it's what time? Right? Yeah right? You said something that 255 00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:14,800 Speaker 1: basically said it's time for him to make a play. 256 00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:19,120 Speaker 1: All right, So let's hear it. Luck shotgun one back Bratshaw. 257 00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:22,200 Speaker 1: Luck drops the snap and there's a chase for the ball, 258 00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:25,040 Speaker 1: and guess who was got it? J J? Who has 259 00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:30,040 Speaker 1: left thirty five thirty twenty five, twenty fifteen ten five touchdown. 260 00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:38,319 Speaker 1: You gotta be kidding me, j J. Wat scores. This 261 00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:42,400 Speaker 1: place is going crazy, and I think you said that 262 00:13:42,679 --> 00:13:45,560 Speaker 1: you said that, Are you kidding me? Because you I 263 00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:49,319 Speaker 1: think you remember just saying prior to that, you gotta 264 00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:51,520 Speaker 1: make a play. You know something to that extent. I 265 00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:54,720 Speaker 1: remember that distinctly, so I might go for the full 266 00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:57,560 Speaker 1: broadcast and find it, but I know you like put 267 00:13:57,559 --> 00:13:59,839 Speaker 1: off the WAT signal and he answered, and it was. 268 00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:02,959 Speaker 1: It was unbelievable because he did that all, I mean 269 00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:06,400 Speaker 1: throughout his career, but that year twenty fourteen in particular, 270 00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:10,680 Speaker 1: I mean what he did to the Jacksonville Jaguars tackles 271 00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:15,440 Speaker 1: in that last game. I mean, oh, I mean goodness. 272 00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:18,840 Speaker 1: I mean he was to get the twenty sacks and 273 00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:22,120 Speaker 1: he throws a spin move for his like twenty seconds, 274 00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:23,920 Speaker 1: like he never used to spin move and he just 275 00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:26,360 Speaker 1: decided to do it and got his twentieth sack or 276 00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:29,920 Speaker 1: twentieth and a half. It was. It was incredible to 277 00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:34,560 Speaker 1: watch from down below to see, you know, a land 278 00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:38,280 Speaker 1: of the best athletes in the world and this guy's 279 00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:40,920 Speaker 1: just dominating him all. It was incredible. Yeah, I think 280 00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:46,240 Speaker 1: that that scoop and score against the Colts was ridiculous 281 00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:49,480 Speaker 1: because he was scoring touchdowns that year. That was the 282 00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:53,480 Speaker 1: year of the Watt touchdown twenty fourteen. And yeah, he 283 00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:55,600 Speaker 1: had the pick six in the playoffs twenty eleven playoffs 284 00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:57,640 Speaker 1: and you know, he just had one this year at Thanksgiving. 285 00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:01,640 Speaker 1: But he had that tough down catch to start things 286 00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:05,080 Speaker 1: off Week two against Oakland on the road and that 287 00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:08,840 Speaker 1: was unforgettable off the arm of Ryan Fitzpatrick. And then 288 00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:14,320 Speaker 1: against Buffalo it was really his first regular season pick six. 289 00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:16,680 Speaker 1: So this was before the Colts game. Let's hear that one. 290 00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:20,160 Speaker 1: Manuel puts the leg down, gets the snap, quick throw 291 00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:23,120 Speaker 1: and picked off Watt to his left thirty thirty five, 292 00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:26,560 Speaker 1: forty to fifty. What's gonna go all the way? Put 293 00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:32,000 Speaker 1: thirty but twenty but ten five? Rock and roll? J J. Watt? 294 00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:37,000 Speaker 1: Pick six? What else can he do? Eighty two yards? 295 00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:41,280 Speaker 1: J J. Watt. So it was it was incredible. You 296 00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:44,680 Speaker 1: want to hear such moments. I mean, okay, so I 297 00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:47,760 Speaker 1: have a great story for that. So my my wife 298 00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:49,160 Speaker 1: says to me during the year. I think I may 299 00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:50,960 Speaker 1: have told this one before. My wife says to me 300 00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:53,400 Speaker 1: during the year, when are you gonna get me tickets 301 00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:57,080 Speaker 1: to go to a game? And I was not a 302 00:15:57,120 --> 00:15:59,360 Speaker 1: full time employee at the time, and I was like, oh, okay, 303 00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:01,960 Speaker 1: well let me Mark, And so I asked you. I said, hey, 304 00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:03,280 Speaker 1: Page wants to go to the game. And I was like, 305 00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:06,320 Speaker 1: I didn't know she wanted to go. She hadn't been 306 00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:09,440 Speaker 1: to an NFL game with me ever, I think maybe 307 00:16:09,480 --> 00:16:12,840 Speaker 1: one in Jacksonville, like fifteen years ago or fifteen years 308 00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:15,640 Speaker 1: prior to that, and she wanted to go. And so 309 00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:18,040 Speaker 1: my wife had gone to all my high school games, 310 00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:20,560 Speaker 1: you know that I coached. And there's a major difference 311 00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:23,600 Speaker 1: with halftime, and that is halftime at a high school 312 00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:27,120 Speaker 1: game is like twenty five minutes. NFL game, we all 313 00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:29,720 Speaker 1: know it's twelve minutes. It's in, You go in the bathroom, 314 00:16:29,760 --> 00:16:32,600 Speaker 1: you come back boom. I mean, that was my routine. 315 00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:36,320 Speaker 1: So I come back after the game, and obviously JJ 316 00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:39,440 Speaker 1: has that play, sir, first Texans game she's ever seen, 317 00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:43,200 Speaker 1: and I'm like, man, that was awesome game. I'd and 318 00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:45,720 Speaker 1: I said, how was it what? JJ had the touchdown? 319 00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:48,960 Speaker 1: And she's kind of yeah, that was nice. And I 320 00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:52,040 Speaker 1: was like, you didn't see it, did you? She pauses 321 00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:57,080 Speaker 1: and she goes, halftime was over so quickly. They were 322 00:16:57,120 --> 00:16:59,800 Speaker 1: standing in line. They were standing in line to get 323 00:16:59,800 --> 00:17:03,280 Speaker 1: some food and a drink, and she missed it. All 324 00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:08,440 Speaker 1: the crowd going crazy and she missed it, and then 325 00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:10,600 Speaker 1: you know, they tried to run back to kind of 326 00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:13,280 Speaker 1: see the aftermath, and she said, Oh my god, it 327 00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:16,320 Speaker 1: was so loud in there, and I just make I 328 00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:18,640 Speaker 1: make fun of her because of that. But um she, 329 00:17:18,840 --> 00:17:24,040 Speaker 1: I mean she just like, I know, I know, and 330 00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:25,920 Speaker 1: that's but you know, it was her first it was 331 00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:28,399 Speaker 1: her first game there. She she didn't really realize all that. 332 00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:31,040 Speaker 1: She went to many after the fact, but um she said, 333 00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:32,960 Speaker 1: that was one of the more fun afternoons she's had 334 00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:35,600 Speaker 1: because JJ in that game. You know, I wrote about this, 335 00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:39,480 Speaker 1: mart Brian Baldinger did a Baldy's breakdown of that game. 336 00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:44,480 Speaker 1: We all remember the interception. He had ten quarterback hits 337 00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:50,159 Speaker 1: on EJ. Manuel. He had ten quarterback hits. Oh, it 338 00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:52,439 Speaker 1: was incredible, and Baldy kind of had each one of 339 00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:56,199 Speaker 1: them broken down. It was unreal to watch how he 340 00:17:56,359 --> 00:17:59,879 Speaker 1: did it with like no smoking mirrors, beat double teams, 341 00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:01,800 Speaker 1: guys won on one. I mean, he was incredible to 342 00:18:01,800 --> 00:18:03,680 Speaker 1: watch how he was able to get to make it 343 00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:06,359 Speaker 1: ten times in that game. He didn't have a sack 344 00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:08,560 Speaker 1: in that game if I remember correctly, but he had 345 00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:11,600 Speaker 1: ten quarterback hits and then he had that interception for 346 00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:13,400 Speaker 1: a touchdown, which really was the difference in the game. 347 00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:16,879 Speaker 1: You know, right now, he's not the player he was, 348 00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:18,359 Speaker 1: but he's still a hell of a player. I mean 349 00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:21,080 Speaker 1: he still put up some I know the sacks weren't 350 00:18:21,119 --> 00:18:25,320 Speaker 1: voluminous this year, but quarterback hits. He had that three 351 00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:27,560 Speaker 1: passes defense game. We're gonna get into some of the 352 00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:29,280 Speaker 1: numbers a little bit later in the show and do 353 00:18:29,359 --> 00:18:31,439 Speaker 1: it in a way that's friendly for radio, because if 354 00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:33,560 Speaker 1: I start spouting off numbers, people are going to drive 355 00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:37,240 Speaker 1: into bridge abutments. But we mentioned some of the big moments, 356 00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:40,800 Speaker 1: some of the touchdowns, and look, I know, touchdowns tend 357 00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:42,679 Speaker 1: to overshadow a lot of other things because he had 358 00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:45,960 Speaker 1: so many sacks that would stop a drive. Gary Kubiak 359 00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:48,720 Speaker 1: said once he's kind of like a quarterback in that 360 00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:51,880 Speaker 1: when you need a big play, he'll make it. And 361 00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:56,600 Speaker 1: that speaks to it's what Time. Well, the real what 362 00:18:56,840 --> 00:19:00,080 Speaker 1: Time debut was in the playoffs against the Bengals, and 363 00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:02,359 Speaker 1: there were the Texans in Cincinnati in a game that 364 00:19:02,440 --> 00:19:04,920 Speaker 1: could go either way. It was ten to ten shortly 365 00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:08,080 Speaker 1: before the half. You had two rookie quarterbacks going at 366 00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:12,080 Speaker 1: it tenj Yates and Andy Dalton from Katie Dalton and 367 00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:14,919 Speaker 1: the Bengals trying to get something going on offense, and 368 00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:19,440 Speaker 1: this happened. Dalton gets the snap, Bros. It it's intercepted. 369 00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:23,360 Speaker 1: What takes it across the fifteen ten to five rock 370 00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:31,920 Speaker 1: and roll touchdown Texans pick six, Fabra cadabra. Just like that, 371 00:19:32,119 --> 00:19:37,040 Speaker 1: the Tech Sands take the lead and Reliance Stadium has erupted. 372 00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:41,840 Speaker 1: I mean that, you know, that was That's unforgettable stuff 373 00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:46,320 Speaker 1: right there. That was the perfect day, Johnny, the perfect 374 00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:51,480 Speaker 1: day at NRG Stadium, Reliance Stadium. Then it was perfect. 375 00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:54,560 Speaker 1: You had what with the pick six yet Andre Johnson 376 00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:57,320 Speaker 1: catching a touchdown passing the postseason in his debut, you 377 00:19:57,359 --> 00:20:00,560 Speaker 1: had Arian Foster with a really great touchdown run. Defense 378 00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:05,680 Speaker 1: was dominant. It was a tremendous debut. One an afternoon 379 00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:08,399 Speaker 1: and well what was it three thirty start afternoon evening, 380 00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:12,360 Speaker 1: and Wat just burst onto the national scene that way. 381 00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:14,359 Speaker 1: I know, look, he was a well known guy, but 382 00:20:14,520 --> 00:20:17,880 Speaker 1: that just put him in another echelon. And the following year, 383 00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:21,080 Speaker 1: remember the debut or the premier game of twenty twelve 384 00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:24,800 Speaker 1: when they hosted the Miami Dolphins and it was Ryan 385 00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:28,600 Speaker 1: Tannehill making his debut and WAT knocked down sixty two 386 00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:30,640 Speaker 1: passes that day. That's what it felt like. I mean 387 00:20:31,359 --> 00:20:33,480 Speaker 1: Tannehill could not get the ball pass the line of 388 00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:35,520 Speaker 1: scrimmage because of the arms of J. J Watt. It 389 00:20:35,560 --> 00:20:38,560 Speaker 1: was one of those outstanding afternoons for him. Do you 390 00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:45,359 Speaker 1: I'll ask you because I did. And the way the 391 00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:49,320 Speaker 1: finale of this year ended, it was just such a 392 00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:52,000 Speaker 1: gut punch to lose those jokers the way that we did. 393 00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:55,960 Speaker 1: But when they were walking off the field, did you 394 00:20:56,040 --> 00:20:59,000 Speaker 1: and your heart of hearts feel like that's the last 395 00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:02,240 Speaker 1: time I've seen him here? Yea, as did you feel 396 00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:04,680 Speaker 1: that way? I did because I knew the contract situation. 397 00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:07,040 Speaker 1: And you know, I've been hearing a lot of talk 398 00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:09,879 Speaker 1: in recent weeks about well, could you trade JJ? You 399 00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:13,040 Speaker 1: can't really trade JJ Watt? Okay, you can't trade never 400 00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:16,160 Speaker 1: mind what you can't trade a player with a big 401 00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:21,760 Speaker 1: contract number that's not guaranteed, right, And they know the 402 00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:25,600 Speaker 1: situation here, right. They a team that's gonna give up 403 00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:27,800 Speaker 1: something for him, wants to sign them to an extension 404 00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:31,399 Speaker 1: at a renegotiated rate, and you can't get this so 405 00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:34,000 Speaker 1: that that in effect gives him a no trade clause, right, 406 00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:37,520 Speaker 1: That allows JJ to determine where he's gonna go, and 407 00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:39,080 Speaker 1: it's a lot easier to go somewhere when the team 408 00:21:39,080 --> 00:21:41,200 Speaker 1: doesn't have to give up a draft choice or something 409 00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:44,720 Speaker 1: like that. So it's a natural situation in pro football. 410 00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:49,440 Speaker 1: Like even the critics of the Houston Texans today are saying, well, 411 00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:51,879 Speaker 1: this is something that is done in pro football. It 412 00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:56,000 Speaker 1: is just done in this sport the way caps are structured, 413 00:21:56,040 --> 00:21:59,680 Speaker 1: contracts are structured. Where JJ is at in his career, 414 00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:02,840 Speaker 1: it's out like he's entering year five here. And speaking 415 00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:05,919 Speaker 1: of that, I remember, boy somewhere. I don't know if 416 00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:07,480 Speaker 1: we can get it out in time for this weekend. 417 00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:09,840 Speaker 1: We have an episode of our show that ran two 418 00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:15,240 Speaker 1: years called Texans Late Night. It was on his thirteen 419 00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:19,120 Speaker 1: and we had what on and we played and we'd 420 00:22:19,119 --> 00:22:21,560 Speaker 1: always play a game with the guest and the game 421 00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:24,040 Speaker 1: we played with what was called sacagories, and it was 422 00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:26,840 Speaker 1: you know, s categories, but it was sacagories and it 423 00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:29,439 Speaker 1: was it was a lot of fun. And I remember that, 424 00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:31,720 Speaker 1: and it was year five for him, And I said 425 00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:33,920 Speaker 1: to him at the time, I said, all right, you're 426 00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:37,639 Speaker 1: not an old player, but you're not that young anymore. 427 00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:40,600 Speaker 1: You're you know, halfway to a decade. So how do 428 00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:42,359 Speaker 1: you feel do you start to think about those things, 429 00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:45,200 Speaker 1: and he said, yes, I absolutely do think about those things. 430 00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:47,960 Speaker 1: That's a big reason why I took such great care 431 00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:51,119 Speaker 1: of his body and still does obviously. And you know, 432 00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:53,679 Speaker 1: we'd love to see him in the Ring of Honor soon. 433 00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:56,000 Speaker 1: But I don't know how long it's gonna go. I 434 00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:57,920 Speaker 1: you know, he could play for a long time here, 435 00:22:57,960 --> 00:22:59,920 Speaker 1: who knows, you know, A visit with Tom Brady and 436 00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:02,680 Speaker 1: what do you eat now? Yeah, JJ already takes frementous 437 00:23:02,680 --> 00:23:05,600 Speaker 1: care of himself but plays a very different position, of course, 438 00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:07,920 Speaker 1: with tons of contact. I don't know how much longer 439 00:23:07,920 --> 00:23:09,639 Speaker 1: it's going to go, But Johnny, we could weigh in 440 00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:11,960 Speaker 1: on stuff like that. A few more of the moments 441 00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:15,880 Speaker 1: and some of the mind boggling numbers around Watt's tenure 442 00:23:15,960 --> 00:23:19,760 Speaker 1: in Houston. A ten year career with the Houston Texans, 443 00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:25,520 Speaker 1: he is no longer a Texan.

But that's what on Thanksgiving and Johnny 473 00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:26,560 Speaker 1: at the time, you know, I felt like blast from 474 00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:28,639 Speaker 1: the past. I wanted to almost and I think I 475 00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:31,760 Speaker 1: almost did call it almost the exact same way as 476 00:25:31,760 --> 00:25:33,840 Speaker 1: I called the one in twenty eleven, because I thought, 477 00:25:34,160 --> 00:25:36,640 Speaker 1: you know, are we ever gonna see this again? Yeah, 478 00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:39,000 Speaker 1: you know, I've been waiting for it because how many 479 00:25:39,040 --> 00:25:42,879 Speaker 1: times in recent years did he have his hands on 480 00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:46,520 Speaker 1: the ball with a chance, you know, not like a drop. 481 00:25:46,800 --> 00:25:49,840 Speaker 1: This is incredibly difficult to catch a ball that speed, 482 00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:52,280 Speaker 1: that up close, and he does all that work with 483 00:25:52,280 --> 00:25:55,399 Speaker 1: a jugs machine to have those opportunities. But there have 484 00:25:55,440 --> 00:25:58,520 Speaker 1: been many times where almost and that time he does 485 00:25:58,520 --> 00:26:00,199 Speaker 1: it against Stafford and the Lions, and it was a 486 00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:02,840 Speaker 1: great day. That was maybe the best win the most 487 00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:06,880 Speaker 1: fun victory of a four victory season for the Houston Texans. Yeah, 488 00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:09,800 Speaker 1: that was that was a fun one to be up 489 00:26:09,840 --> 00:26:13,480 Speaker 1: there on Thanksgiving Day and I just remember, you know 490 00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:16,440 Speaker 1: that obviously was one of the weird parts of twenty twenty, 491 00:26:16,520 --> 00:26:20,359 Speaker 1: just especially no crowd and there was there's no crowd 492 00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:22,600 Speaker 1: in there, which made it makes it much easier for 493 00:26:22,600 --> 00:26:24,119 Speaker 1: me because I can kind of move around and do 494 00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:28,280 Speaker 1: things and and when he picks that thing off, because 495 00:26:28,280 --> 00:26:30,480 Speaker 1: that that game did not start. I mean they came 496 00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:34,440 Speaker 1: down and they the Lions scored. Yeah, we get stopped. 497 00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:36,400 Speaker 1: I'm like, man, we get to show up and play today. 498 00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:37,920 Speaker 1: And then he makes that play. And then one thing 499 00:26:37,920 --> 00:26:41,000 Speaker 1: that will always that I'll never forget about that play, 500 00:26:41,320 --> 00:26:46,280 Speaker 1: Mark was it took forever to get everybody off the 501 00:26:46,320 --> 00:26:49,600 Speaker 1: field from celebrating with him. It was like the entire 502 00:26:49,840 --> 00:26:54,720 Speaker 1: sideline poured out to go celebrate with him, and I 503 00:26:54,720 --> 00:26:57,600 Speaker 1: mean offensive players do. I remember seeing Will Fuller and 504 00:26:57,680 --> 00:27:02,440 Speaker 1: Deshaun going and running up to him and congratulating him, 505 00:27:02,520 --> 00:27:05,480 Speaker 1: and I just it was it was cool to be 506 00:27:05,560 --> 00:27:07,400 Speaker 1: part of that moment, his first touchdown he had scored 507 00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:10,600 Speaker 1: since twenty fourteen. It was really that was really a 508 00:27:10,720 --> 00:27:14,040 Speaker 1: neat afternoon. Of course, I don't know how it continues 509 00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:16,080 Speaker 1: if he doesn't make that play. It was just, you know, 510 00:27:16,160 --> 00:27:19,360 Speaker 1: like in twenty eleven in the playoff game, it got 511 00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:22,400 Speaker 1: everything going because that was a slow starting playoff game. 512 00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:24,119 Speaker 1: It's like, all right, are we gonna kind of be 513 00:27:24,160 --> 00:27:26,520 Speaker 1: in this thing or not. He makes that play and 514 00:27:26,560 --> 00:27:28,719 Speaker 1: from that point on it was just complete domination. It 515 00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:31,080 Speaker 1: was the same way against Detroit that day. He makes 516 00:27:31,080 --> 00:27:33,280 Speaker 1: that play and then it was complete domination from there 517 00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:35,720 Speaker 1: on out. All right, So I don't want to bog 518 00:27:35,720 --> 00:27:38,040 Speaker 1: you down with numbers, which means I'm about to bog 519 00:27:38,040 --> 00:27:40,719 Speaker 1: you down with numbers, which okay, not too many, not 520 00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:42,879 Speaker 1: too many. But there are a couple of stats that 521 00:27:42,920 --> 00:27:46,520 Speaker 1: he absolutely owns, almost literally, because since tackles for loss 522 00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:51,240 Speaker 1: became an official stat, he has the most in NFL history. Now, 523 00:27:51,280 --> 00:27:53,400 Speaker 1: there are other guys they went back and looked. It's 524 00:27:53,480 --> 00:27:55,960 Speaker 1: kind of like sacks before the sack was an official stat, 525 00:27:55,960 --> 00:27:57,719 Speaker 1: and they're able to tally that up if they had 526 00:27:57,720 --> 00:28:01,919 Speaker 1: the proper play by playing proper game data. But with 527 00:28:02,040 --> 00:28:04,680 Speaker 1: TfL certainly the most since twenty eleven, since he came 528 00:28:04,680 --> 00:28:06,560 Speaker 1: into the league. In the most sense, it became an 529 00:28:06,560 --> 00:28:10,399 Speaker 1: official stat. And the same thing with quarterback hits. Since 530 00:28:10,520 --> 00:28:14,560 Speaker 1: quarterback hits became a stat, he's got two hundred eighty one, 531 00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:18,480 Speaker 1: the most since they became a stat, now thirty first 532 00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:20,760 Speaker 1: on the All Times sacklist. And you might think, well, 533 00:28:21,359 --> 00:28:23,240 Speaker 1: all right, I thought it would be higher. I don't 534 00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:26,320 Speaker 1: know how people react to that. Look, he's only played 535 00:28:26,320 --> 00:28:28,760 Speaker 1: a decade. I say, only because you're going up against 536 00:28:28,760 --> 00:28:31,359 Speaker 1: Reggie White and Bruce Smith, the guys who played longer, 537 00:28:32,080 --> 00:28:35,440 Speaker 1: so you know it's a different situation. But here, check 538 00:28:35,480 --> 00:28:38,760 Speaker 1: this out, sacks per game. I think this is a 539 00:28:38,800 --> 00:28:42,000 Speaker 1: pretty good way to measure this stuff. Reggie White is 540 00:28:42,040 --> 00:28:46,719 Speaker 1: first at point eight five sacks per games played, and 541 00:28:46,920 --> 00:28:49,400 Speaker 1: you just average that out, what point seven nine? He's 542 00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:54,720 Speaker 1: second in NFL history in sacks per game. That's strong 543 00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:57,520 Speaker 1: because it takes the injury games out of it. And 544 00:28:57,720 --> 00:29:01,880 Speaker 1: you see that, Wow, the efficient, see the production is 545 00:29:01,920 --> 00:29:06,400 Speaker 1: at a ridiculous clip, and hey, second is nothing to 546 00:29:06,440 --> 00:29:09,400 Speaker 1: sneeze at at all. Behind Reggie White. Maybe you know, 547 00:29:09,520 --> 00:29:11,400 Speaker 1: is he the greatest defensive player to ever lived? Along 548 00:29:11,440 --> 00:29:13,600 Speaker 1: with Lawrence Taylor? I mean, what, let's put it this way. 549 00:29:13,680 --> 00:29:17,320 Speaker 1: Johnny at his peak and it lasted a while, but 550 00:29:17,440 --> 00:29:21,720 Speaker 1: at his peak, where is He's in the top five 551 00:29:21,840 --> 00:29:24,360 Speaker 1: somewhere at least a top ten right all time great 552 00:29:24,400 --> 00:29:27,840 Speaker 1: defensive players, no doubt, no doubt. I don't think there's 553 00:29:27,880 --> 00:29:31,360 Speaker 1: any question. I've seen some debate today from people saying 554 00:29:31,720 --> 00:29:35,040 Speaker 1: there's no way JJ was at the peak that Aaron 555 00:29:35,080 --> 00:29:40,680 Speaker 1: Donald was. And it's like, I'll take twenty twelve, thirteen, fourteen, 556 00:29:40,800 --> 00:29:46,000 Speaker 1: fifteen and put it up against anybody anywhere, anytime those 557 00:29:46,040 --> 00:29:52,120 Speaker 1: four years. He was absolutely incredible. He was he was unbelievable. 558 00:29:52,160 --> 00:29:55,040 Speaker 1: And you know you mentioned, you mentioned the numbers. I said, 559 00:29:55,040 --> 00:29:57,560 Speaker 1: we were coming back from somewhere I can't maybend Cleveland 560 00:29:57,560 --> 00:30:01,080 Speaker 1: in fourteen, and you were kind of over my right shoulder, 561 00:30:01,080 --> 00:30:02,440 Speaker 1: and I was looking at the game book because I 562 00:30:02,480 --> 00:30:04,760 Speaker 1: was writing a little bit, and I turned to you 563 00:30:04,800 --> 00:30:07,560 Speaker 1: and I said, look at this, and it's the defensive 564 00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:14,960 Speaker 1: stat book and there are a million different columns for 565 00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:20,760 Speaker 1: for for a defensive player, solo tackles, assists, total tackles, sacks, yards. 566 00:30:20,880 --> 00:30:24,200 Speaker 1: I mean there's like fifteen twenty. He had a number 567 00:30:24,800 --> 00:30:28,720 Speaker 1: in nearly every category. As she went through there was 568 00:30:28,760 --> 00:30:31,360 Speaker 1: a number there. There wasn't a zero there were a 569 00:30:31,360 --> 00:30:35,920 Speaker 1: bunch of numbers there, forced fumble, fumber recovery, sacked, the 570 00:30:36,040 --> 00:30:39,240 Speaker 1: yards lost on the sack, the TFLs. I was like, man, 571 00:30:39,320 --> 00:30:42,680 Speaker 1: the only thing he didn't have was an interception. I 572 00:30:42,760 --> 00:30:46,680 Speaker 1: was like, I've never seen anybody do that. To put 573 00:30:46,680 --> 00:30:50,160 Speaker 1: a number in every single one of those columns, you 574 00:30:50,240 --> 00:30:53,360 Speaker 1: just you just don't see it. And essentially being that 575 00:30:53,520 --> 00:30:57,080 Speaker 1: productive Aaron Donald, I don't I don't ever want to 576 00:30:57,120 --> 00:31:00,120 Speaker 1: take away from what that guy's doing. Trust me, he's 577 00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:04,040 Speaker 1: been unbelievable. And the one thing that Donald has avoided 578 00:31:04,320 --> 00:31:07,520 Speaker 1: that unfortunately JJ was not was the injuries, because in 579 00:31:07,600 --> 00:31:11,200 Speaker 1: sixteen and seventeen and then half of nineteen it took away, 580 00:31:12,360 --> 00:31:15,680 Speaker 1: you know, a good two years full of games that 581 00:31:15,760 --> 00:31:17,080 Speaker 1: we didn't get a chance to see him in. The 582 00:31:17,160 --> 00:31:19,760 Speaker 1: numbers would have been even more so. But you're right, 583 00:31:19,800 --> 00:31:23,400 Speaker 1: you have to look at it on average, you know, 584 00:31:23,440 --> 00:31:28,200 Speaker 1: on an average basis in some sense. But it's phenomenal 585 00:31:28,880 --> 00:31:30,560 Speaker 1: what he did. And here's the thing, Mark you talked 586 00:31:30,560 --> 00:31:33,520 Speaker 1: about the tackles for a loss. I can probably say 587 00:31:33,560 --> 00:31:35,360 Speaker 1: this now and I may I may have said I 588 00:31:35,480 --> 00:31:39,280 Speaker 1: know I've said it before I joined the Texans. JJ 589 00:31:39,440 --> 00:31:41,480 Speaker 1: got a lot of those tackles for a loss doing 590 00:31:41,560 --> 00:31:45,880 Speaker 1: something that was absolutely in a thousand percent of no. No. 591 00:31:47,960 --> 00:31:51,840 Speaker 1: He would go the wrong way on purpose. So if 592 00:31:51,880 --> 00:31:53,760 Speaker 1: there was a run there, if there was a run 593 00:31:53,840 --> 00:31:56,640 Speaker 1: away from him, typically you're supposed to kind of slide 594 00:31:56,680 --> 00:31:59,960 Speaker 1: down the line and fight over the block. JJ would 595 00:32:00,240 --> 00:32:04,920 Speaker 1: swim the opposite way and then fly down the line 596 00:32:04,920 --> 00:32:07,920 Speaker 1: and go make a tackle for a loss. And it 597 00:32:08,040 --> 00:32:12,040 Speaker 1: was like, that is so technically wrong. Oh my god, 598 00:32:12,080 --> 00:32:16,040 Speaker 1: I'm gonna lose it. But he was so quick, he 599 00:32:16,120 --> 00:32:19,760 Speaker 1: was so explosively quick, and he would catch an offensive 600 00:32:19,800 --> 00:32:23,600 Speaker 1: lineman leaning and he would slap and swim or you know, 601 00:32:23,680 --> 00:32:26,600 Speaker 1: club and swim and go right down the line and 602 00:32:26,720 --> 00:32:28,479 Speaker 1: make a tackle for a loss. And it was like, 603 00:32:28,800 --> 00:32:32,240 Speaker 1: that is so fundamentally wrong. And yet he's so quick 604 00:32:32,280 --> 00:32:34,960 Speaker 1: and so explosive he can do that and get away 605 00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:37,600 Speaker 1: with it. And not only that, he and Mark, he 606 00:32:37,640 --> 00:32:39,920 Speaker 1: was even doing it this year, in his tenth year, 607 00:32:39,960 --> 00:32:43,360 Speaker 1: after all the injuries, still doing it and still making 608 00:32:43,400 --> 00:32:46,080 Speaker 1: tackles for a loss doing it. I think what you 609 00:32:46,120 --> 00:32:48,240 Speaker 1: said about the injuries is notable. I said, some guys 610 00:32:48,240 --> 00:32:50,280 Speaker 1: who played longer, and you might look at seasons and 611 00:32:50,320 --> 00:32:53,200 Speaker 1: they might be one or two less. But the game's 612 00:32:53,360 --> 00:32:55,840 Speaker 1: missed by what are certainly a big factor when you 613 00:32:55,840 --> 00:32:58,280 Speaker 1: look at some of the statistics. I'm just talking numbers here, 614 00:32:58,360 --> 00:33:01,720 Speaker 1: not efficiently while you play. And I think that's a 615 00:33:01,760 --> 00:33:04,280 Speaker 1: factor for him. He's played ten years, but it's not 616 00:33:04,360 --> 00:33:07,400 Speaker 1: really ten years because of all the games missed. Johnny 617 00:33:07,520 --> 00:33:11,680 Speaker 1: passes defensed, this might be the most incredible one of all. 618 00:33:12,160 --> 00:33:15,640 Speaker 1: He's fourth all time enfranchise history. And you might think, well, no, 619 00:33:16,200 --> 00:33:20,800 Speaker 1: this is a defensive lineman with passes defensed. All right, 620 00:33:21,160 --> 00:33:24,600 Speaker 1: He's got the most passes defense to buy a defensive 621 00:33:24,640 --> 00:33:26,600 Speaker 1: lineman since he entered the league. So in the last 622 00:33:26,640 --> 00:33:29,600 Speaker 1: ten years he's got the most and the sixth most 623 00:33:29,640 --> 00:33:31,880 Speaker 1: by a defensive lineman in the history of the league, 624 00:33:31,920 --> 00:33:33,720 Speaker 1: in the history of the league. You know, when you 625 00:33:33,760 --> 00:33:36,440 Speaker 1: are the kind of player that has all these numbers 626 00:33:36,440 --> 00:33:39,600 Speaker 1: and you're you know, top five, top ten or whatever 627 00:33:39,640 --> 00:33:41,840 Speaker 1: in the history of the NFL, you're doing a lot 628 00:33:41,880 --> 00:33:43,840 Speaker 1: of things right. And I remember when the debate was 629 00:33:44,200 --> 00:33:47,480 Speaker 1: when what got hurt in twenty sixteen, and it was 630 00:33:47,520 --> 00:33:50,640 Speaker 1: so sad. It was Week three, right, he got hurt 631 00:33:50,800 --> 00:33:53,920 Speaker 1: missed the rest of the season. Interestingly enough, the Texans 632 00:33:53,920 --> 00:33:57,000 Speaker 1: finished number one in defense that year because enough other 633 00:33:57,000 --> 00:33:59,479 Speaker 1: guys were really healthy, like Clowney and Merciless, and they 634 00:33:59,480 --> 00:34:02,200 Speaker 1: had a really a year on that side of the football, 635 00:34:02,240 --> 00:34:04,120 Speaker 1: and you know, we're given the Patriots fits, but they 636 00:34:04,120 --> 00:34:07,440 Speaker 1: couldn't score anyway. When he got hurt that year, a 637 00:34:07,480 --> 00:34:09,040 Speaker 1: lot of people started to wonder is he ever going 638 00:34:09,120 --> 00:34:11,080 Speaker 1: to come back, you know, because he had the injury 639 00:34:11,080 --> 00:34:13,040 Speaker 1: at the end of twenty fifteen in the playoff game 640 00:34:13,040 --> 00:34:15,160 Speaker 1: and people were starting to sort of worry about that. 641 00:34:15,280 --> 00:34:17,719 Speaker 1: And the debate then was would he be in the 642 00:34:17,719 --> 00:34:19,920 Speaker 1: Hall of Fame now if he never played again? And 643 00:34:19,960 --> 00:34:22,520 Speaker 1: I thought he put up three Defensive Player of the 644 00:34:22,600 --> 00:34:27,439 Speaker 1: Year awards seasons. I think that that alone puts him in. 645 00:34:27,920 --> 00:34:30,719 Speaker 1: If the career was cut short, then it would have 646 00:34:30,760 --> 00:34:33,600 Speaker 1: been a Gale Sayers kind of situation or Terrell Davis, 647 00:34:33,640 --> 00:34:36,840 Speaker 1: like the kind of guy who is just so awesome 648 00:34:37,040 --> 00:34:39,520 Speaker 1: but it's a limited time compared to many other Hall 649 00:34:39,560 --> 00:34:41,799 Speaker 1: of Famers. But it was so dominant that you have 650 00:34:41,840 --> 00:34:44,040 Speaker 1: to let him in. That was in twenty sixteen. I mean, 651 00:34:44,080 --> 00:34:47,399 Speaker 1: he's obviously a lock to get in now and he's 652 00:34:47,400 --> 00:34:50,319 Speaker 1: still gonna keep playing. And that's my question to you now, 653 00:34:50,400 --> 00:34:53,520 Speaker 1: my friend, how much longer can this go on? And 654 00:34:53,560 --> 00:34:55,920 Speaker 1: it's anybody's guests because a lot of it has to 655 00:34:55,960 --> 00:34:57,399 Speaker 1: do with the lock. But you know, he takes great 656 00:34:57,440 --> 00:34:59,440 Speaker 1: care of his body. You know he wants to play longer. 657 00:34:59,480 --> 00:35:03,600 Speaker 1: So what do you think it? Well, man, it's interesting. 658 00:35:04,080 --> 00:35:05,480 Speaker 1: You know. One of the things that I wrote about 659 00:35:05,600 --> 00:35:07,959 Speaker 1: in my article today was a game that he played 660 00:35:07,960 --> 00:35:11,319 Speaker 1: down in Jacksonville. You remember, at twenty fifteen, we were 661 00:35:11,360 --> 00:35:13,919 Speaker 1: one to four and we went down to Jacksonville and 662 00:35:13,960 --> 00:35:15,920 Speaker 1: we got to notice as we're sitting on a plane 663 00:35:16,560 --> 00:35:19,120 Speaker 1: that JJ was sick and now questionable for the game. 664 00:35:19,160 --> 00:35:20,680 Speaker 1: And we're like, oh my god. Then we saw him 665 00:35:20,680 --> 00:35:22,040 Speaker 1: get on the plane and we're like, oh boy, he 666 00:35:22,040 --> 00:35:26,160 Speaker 1: does not look good, and I thought, good grief. Well, 667 00:35:26,560 --> 00:35:29,359 Speaker 1: he stayed in hotel him the whole time. I don't 668 00:35:29,360 --> 00:35:32,040 Speaker 1: know what he ate. I mean, he was just got 669 00:35:32,080 --> 00:35:36,000 Speaker 1: awfully bad shape. He played seventy nine of eighty one 670 00:35:36,120 --> 00:35:39,800 Speaker 1: plays that day, seventy nine of eighty one plays on 671 00:35:39,880 --> 00:35:43,640 Speaker 1: a seventy five degree sunny, hot, humid day in Jacksonville, 672 00:35:43,760 --> 00:35:45,279 Speaker 1: and then puked at my feet at the end of 673 00:35:45,280 --> 00:35:48,680 Speaker 1: the game. My point in bringing all that up is 674 00:35:48,840 --> 00:35:51,520 Speaker 1: he can't do that anymore. That's not something that he's 675 00:35:51,520 --> 00:35:55,600 Speaker 1: going to be able to do going forward. So wherever 676 00:35:55,640 --> 00:35:59,799 Speaker 1: he goes, it'd be a packer stude. Where wherever he goes, 677 00:36:00,440 --> 00:36:03,440 Speaker 1: it's not gonna be that kind of situation. He's gonna 678 00:36:03,480 --> 00:36:05,719 Speaker 1: have to play sixty to sixty five percent of the 679 00:36:05,760 --> 00:36:09,880 Speaker 1: plays at least through the first eight to nine weeks 680 00:36:09,880 --> 00:36:12,640 Speaker 1: of the year, and then you know, when you're getting up, 681 00:36:12,800 --> 00:36:14,960 Speaker 1: you know you're getting the playoff race. Whoever team he 682 00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:17,239 Speaker 1: goes to, they get the playoff race. Okay, might need 683 00:36:17,280 --> 00:36:19,760 Speaker 1: to use him a little bit more. Okay, that's cool, 684 00:36:19,920 --> 00:36:22,759 Speaker 1: but he's I don't think because of the pounding that 685 00:36:22,880 --> 00:36:26,839 Speaker 1: he's taken. And you know, this Mark, you'd see him, 686 00:36:27,400 --> 00:36:32,359 Speaker 1: we'd see him in the hallway in week fifteen, sixteen seventeen, 687 00:36:32,640 --> 00:36:36,239 Speaker 1: and oh my god, it just you know, getting from 688 00:36:36,280 --> 00:36:39,280 Speaker 1: one place to the next was because of the pounding 689 00:36:39,320 --> 00:36:41,680 Speaker 1: he had taken. You know, DJ Reader was the same. 690 00:36:41,719 --> 00:36:44,040 Speaker 1: I mean, they're just shuffling trying to get from one 691 00:36:44,040 --> 00:36:46,200 Speaker 1: spot to the next because of the pounding that they took. 692 00:36:46,239 --> 00:36:50,640 Speaker 1: And JJ has seen double with triple teams for years, 693 00:36:51,440 --> 00:36:53,600 Speaker 1: So I think it's got to be a situation where 694 00:36:54,440 --> 00:36:58,760 Speaker 1: he can be a part of a crew that takes 695 00:36:58,800 --> 00:37:01,200 Speaker 1: some of the heat off of him. He can bounce 696 00:37:02,120 --> 00:37:03,839 Speaker 1: bounce rounds the wrong word to use, but he can 697 00:37:03,840 --> 00:37:06,759 Speaker 1: move around the line scrimmage like he did, you know, 698 00:37:06,840 --> 00:37:09,560 Speaker 1: for us, and play over the nose. He played over 699 00:37:09,560 --> 00:37:12,160 Speaker 1: the nose a couple of plays against Indianapolis, he went outside, 700 00:37:12,320 --> 00:37:14,440 Speaker 1: he played over the guard. I still go back to 701 00:37:14,480 --> 00:37:18,640 Speaker 1: that Jets game in twenty eighteen when Rack put JJ 702 00:37:18,920 --> 00:37:22,000 Speaker 1: inside so he could rush against the Jets guard and 703 00:37:22,040 --> 00:37:25,600 Speaker 1: then he whipped him repeatedly, and then Clowney's coming off 704 00:37:25,600 --> 00:37:27,200 Speaker 1: the other end because now they got to help inside 705 00:37:27,200 --> 00:37:29,840 Speaker 1: on what Clowney's coming on the other end. And you're like, man, 706 00:37:30,280 --> 00:37:32,399 Speaker 1: that was fun to watch. And that was JJ off 707 00:37:32,440 --> 00:37:35,799 Speaker 1: of two years of injuries in twenty eighteen and made 708 00:37:35,800 --> 00:37:40,080 Speaker 1: the Pro Bowl. So you know, I think he's still 709 00:37:40,400 --> 00:37:42,760 Speaker 1: I've said this many times. He led us in every 710 00:37:42,840 --> 00:37:48,120 Speaker 1: stinking category outside of overall tackles, so he still has 711 00:37:48,120 --> 00:37:51,360 Speaker 1: got something up. I just think he's better served playing 712 00:37:51,400 --> 00:37:55,120 Speaker 1: a sixty five to seventy five percent play count, and 713 00:37:55,160 --> 00:37:56,960 Speaker 1: then if you need to increase that as the year 714 00:37:57,000 --> 00:38:00,319 Speaker 1: goes on, Sure, but he still can be a very 715 00:38:00,360 --> 00:38:03,960 Speaker 1: valuable chess piece for a defense that's got some different things. 716 00:38:04,600 --> 00:38:07,200 Speaker 1: So I'm curious to see where he ends up at 717 00:38:07,200 --> 00:38:09,680 Speaker 1: this point. And I hope we don't have to look 718 00:38:09,719 --> 00:38:12,799 Speaker 1: at him in twenty twenty one in our building. But yeah, 719 00:38:12,840 --> 00:38:15,800 Speaker 1: he's got something left, no doubt. Okay, next up where 720 00:38:15,840 --> 00:38:18,400 Speaker 1: he's not allowed to go? All right? Now, I have 721 00:38:18,560 --> 00:38:20,480 Speaker 1: submitted this, but I don't I don't know if they're 722 00:38:20,480 --> 00:38:24,719 Speaker 1: gonna listen to me. Okay, I have decided. I tried 723 00:38:24,719 --> 00:38:26,600 Speaker 1: to get to cal but not in time. I was 724 00:38:26,600 --> 00:38:29,480 Speaker 1: gonna say, listen, I guess, I guess you have to 725 00:38:29,520 --> 00:38:31,799 Speaker 1: do this. But here are the teams where he's not 726 00:38:31,840 --> 00:38:34,320 Speaker 1: allowed to go, according to me, the voice of the Texans, 727 00:38:34,360 --> 00:38:36,839 Speaker 1: And you know, this just proves how little weight I have. 728 00:38:37,160 --> 00:38:40,840 Speaker 1: But we'll have that.

Okay, Mark Vadimar, John Harris with you Texans Radio. 755 00:40:14,600 --> 00:40:16,120 Speaker 1: Running out of time, So we gotta get to this 756 00:40:16,520 --> 00:40:19,280 Speaker 1: first of all Johnny teams that JJ is not allowed 757 00:40:19,320 --> 00:40:22,759 Speaker 1: to go to. First, I gotta go with the Division. Yes, 758 00:40:22,880 --> 00:40:24,799 Speaker 1: he's not gonna go to the Jags. He's not gonna 759 00:40:24,800 --> 00:40:28,600 Speaker 1: go to the player Formyer, that's not happening. But Tennessee 760 00:40:28,880 --> 00:40:32,480 Speaker 1: ouch don't want to see that, and certainly don't want 761 00:40:32,520 --> 00:40:35,759 Speaker 1: to see him wearing the Royal Blue. I cannot have them. 762 00:40:36,360 --> 00:40:39,040 Speaker 1: And if you made me choose between those two, like, 763 00:40:39,080 --> 00:40:40,600 Speaker 1: it's got to be one of those two marks, it's 764 00:40:40,600 --> 00:40:43,120 Speaker 1: gotta be the Titans. I cannot have JJ in a 765 00:40:43,200 --> 00:40:46,239 Speaker 1: cult uniform, forget about it. And I certainly don't want 766 00:40:46,320 --> 00:40:49,120 Speaker 1: him in a Titan uniform either. In fact, how about 767 00:40:49,120 --> 00:40:52,160 Speaker 1: the NFC. And if you're really gonna go ring hunting? 768 00:40:52,239 --> 00:40:55,880 Speaker 1: To me? If you if he has his choice and 769 00:40:56,000 --> 00:40:59,160 Speaker 1: it's all about ring hunting, it's gotta be Green Bay 770 00:40:59,560 --> 00:41:03,520 Speaker 1: or Tampa Bay. Tampa Bay as they're calling it. With 771 00:41:03,600 --> 00:41:06,040 Speaker 1: an outside shot at the Rams, I don't think they 772 00:41:06,080 --> 00:41:09,480 Speaker 1: can accommodate him. But you know, look, I think Johnny 773 00:41:09,520 --> 00:41:11,560 Speaker 1: with Tampa Bay, are they gonna have one of those 774 00:41:11,560 --> 00:41:13,360 Speaker 1: situations where veterans just want to go there for the 775 00:41:13,360 --> 00:41:15,759 Speaker 1: minimum to try to chase the ring with Tom, like 776 00:41:15,760 --> 00:41:19,400 Speaker 1: like the Lakers and the O's with what Gary Payton 777 00:41:19,440 --> 00:41:22,399 Speaker 1: and Karl Malone and Steve Nash and everybody's just trying 778 00:41:22,400 --> 00:41:24,239 Speaker 1: to park it there for a chance at a ring. 779 00:41:24,480 --> 00:41:26,600 Speaker 1: Is it gonna be like that in Tampa Bay? I 780 00:41:26,600 --> 00:41:30,520 Speaker 1: would think so. I mean, Bruce Arians is seemingly a guy. 781 00:41:30,640 --> 00:41:33,400 Speaker 1: I mean, if you were a player, did you, I 782 00:41:33,440 --> 00:41:35,840 Speaker 1: mean you watch the boat parade the other day or 783 00:41:35,840 --> 00:41:39,600 Speaker 1: at least saw highlights of it. Those are joyful players, 784 00:41:39,960 --> 00:41:42,319 Speaker 1: I want to I mean they had a blast. Yeah, 785 00:41:43,080 --> 00:41:45,040 Speaker 1: I can imagine. You know, look, you put in a 786 00:41:45,040 --> 00:41:48,000 Speaker 1: lot of work during NFL seasons, no doubt about that. 787 00:41:48,080 --> 00:41:49,960 Speaker 1: But you got a guy like Bruce Arians there. You 788 00:41:50,040 --> 00:41:53,000 Speaker 1: got you know, Byron Leftwich's offensive coordinator, you got Todd 789 00:41:53,040 --> 00:41:55,360 Speaker 1: Bowles as a defensive coordinator. I mean a lot of 790 00:41:55,360 --> 00:41:57,160 Speaker 1: good things going on in Tampa Bay right now. And 791 00:41:57,320 --> 00:41:59,919 Speaker 1: to my point earlier, JJ wouldn't have to play fifty 792 00:42:00,080 --> 00:42:02,919 Speaker 1: sixty percent of but six fifty sixty percent of place. 793 00:42:03,239 --> 00:42:06,600 Speaker 1: It'd be a perfect situation for him on that team 794 00:42:06,640 --> 00:42:10,000 Speaker 1: that we forgot about that we were doing very well 795 00:42:10,040 --> 00:42:13,319 Speaker 1: in the postseason and they won a championship. Johnny, what 796 00:42:13,520 --> 00:42:17,359 Speaker 1: is the story now? You wrote a story today at 797 00:42:17,400 --> 00:42:20,960 Speaker 1: Houston Texans dot com and you talked about your son 798 00:42:21,120 --> 00:42:25,280 Speaker 1: Jack and it was very special. What happened with JJ? Yeah, exactly, 799 00:42:25,320 --> 00:42:28,000 Speaker 1: my son Jack. I've said this many times. Jack has 800 00:42:28,120 --> 00:42:31,239 Speaker 1: high functioning autism and there are a lot of things 801 00:42:31,239 --> 00:42:33,640 Speaker 1: that go with that. You know, kids that have autism 802 00:42:33,719 --> 00:42:36,799 Speaker 1: their number, you know, some are low functioning. But for 803 00:42:36,920 --> 00:42:40,480 Speaker 1: kids with autism, there's always certain things that they struggle with, 804 00:42:40,560 --> 00:42:43,399 Speaker 1: and for my sons, some of them are neurological. And 805 00:42:43,719 --> 00:42:47,239 Speaker 1: you know, writing for Jack is hard, it actually hurts him. 806 00:42:47,239 --> 00:42:49,080 Speaker 1: But one of the things was tying his shoes, and 807 00:42:49,120 --> 00:42:52,239 Speaker 1: so we just had Jack ware crocs because he could 808 00:42:52,239 --> 00:42:54,040 Speaker 1: just slip him on his feet. But as he got 809 00:42:54,040 --> 00:42:57,560 Speaker 1: older and bigger, he was having really bad back problems 810 00:42:57,600 --> 00:43:00,520 Speaker 1: with the crocs, and so we decided, man, what are 811 00:43:00,560 --> 00:43:02,560 Speaker 1: we gonna do. We gotta we gotta try and find 812 00:43:02,560 --> 00:43:04,440 Speaker 1: a pair of shoes for him, and not really sure 813 00:43:04,480 --> 00:43:06,040 Speaker 1: what we're gonna do, and so I said, Jack, let's 814 00:43:06,040 --> 00:43:08,520 Speaker 1: just go to academy and see what we can find. 815 00:43:09,360 --> 00:43:11,080 Speaker 1: And so we go to academy and we go to 816 00:43:11,120 --> 00:43:13,319 Speaker 1: the back corner where the shoes are and I see 817 00:43:13,360 --> 00:43:15,800 Speaker 1: this kind of this billboard. It's got JJ's face on it, 818 00:43:15,800 --> 00:43:18,480 Speaker 1: and I see the Reebok logo, and as I get closer, 819 00:43:19,400 --> 00:43:22,080 Speaker 1: I see it's a shoe and I'm like, it's red, 820 00:43:22,120 --> 00:43:25,000 Speaker 1: white and blue, and I go, wait a second, that's 821 00:43:25,000 --> 00:43:29,160 Speaker 1: a laceless shoe. I think Jack could wear that. And 822 00:43:29,200 --> 00:43:32,520 Speaker 1: so I asked the academy person, I said, you can 823 00:43:32,560 --> 00:43:34,560 Speaker 1: get this in Jack size. Jack tries it on if 824 00:43:34,560 --> 00:43:37,799 Speaker 1: it's perfectly, and we're like, let's get them. And Jack 825 00:43:37,840 --> 00:43:39,480 Speaker 1: looks at me and goes, Dad, can you believe it. 826 00:43:39,600 --> 00:43:41,279 Speaker 1: JJ's shoe is the one that works for me. And 827 00:43:41,320 --> 00:43:43,200 Speaker 1: I was like, man, I gotta tell JJ this story. 828 00:43:43,520 --> 00:43:46,080 Speaker 1: So it was during the offseason, and so I wasn't 829 00:43:46,080 --> 00:43:47,879 Speaker 1: able to tell JJ, but I was able to get 830 00:43:47,880 --> 00:43:52,440 Speaker 1: it to him through our our PR and so about 831 00:43:52,440 --> 00:43:54,160 Speaker 1: a week later, I got a call to come down 832 00:43:54,239 --> 00:43:58,799 Speaker 1: to the to PR office and I was told this 833 00:43:58,960 --> 00:44:03,560 Speaker 1: big box is there and m and Amy Passer at 834 00:44:03,560 --> 00:44:07,879 Speaker 1: the time says this is for Jack and my Jack 835 00:44:07,920 --> 00:44:11,200 Speaker 1: and I went, what really and opened it up and 836 00:44:11,320 --> 00:44:14,239 Speaker 1: there I think I think there were eight pair of 837 00:44:14,320 --> 00:44:18,560 Speaker 1: shoes in that same style, different colors and kind of 838 00:44:18,640 --> 00:44:23,160 Speaker 1: you know, kind of interesting like designs and stuff, all 839 00:44:23,200 --> 00:44:25,239 Speaker 1: in his size. You know. There were some warm ups, 840 00:44:25,239 --> 00:44:27,319 Speaker 1: a T shirt whatever. And she looked at me and said, 841 00:44:28,360 --> 00:44:31,920 Speaker 1: JJ was touched by your story and called Reebok and 842 00:44:32,080 --> 00:44:36,040 Speaker 1: made this happen. And there was a note inside and 843 00:44:36,080 --> 00:44:39,360 Speaker 1: it said, Jack, we hear your big fans of our shoes, 844 00:44:39,440 --> 00:44:45,319 Speaker 1: and we're big fans of you. And I was, I was, 845 00:44:45,920 --> 00:44:49,719 Speaker 1: I was just I was dumbfounded. I was like, I 846 00:44:49,800 --> 00:44:52,440 Speaker 1: was so joyful, I was so thankful. I just couldn't 847 00:44:52,440 --> 00:44:54,759 Speaker 1: believe it. I called Paige, my wife, and I just said, 848 00:44:55,320 --> 00:44:58,840 Speaker 1: I said, you're not gonna believe this, and she started crying. 849 00:44:59,480 --> 00:45:02,279 Speaker 1: I bring it the box home and Jack is like incredibles, 850 00:45:02,320 --> 00:45:05,200 Speaker 1: like he can't believe it, Like that's for me. And 851 00:45:05,280 --> 00:45:07,920 Speaker 1: Jack doesn't know anything about football, He knows nothing about football. 852 00:45:08,000 --> 00:45:10,279 Speaker 1: Football is not his thing, he just said he but 853 00:45:10,440 --> 00:45:14,360 Speaker 1: JJ became his favorite. I mean he even he like, 854 00:45:14,560 --> 00:45:16,840 Speaker 1: did JJ play quarterbacks? Like he didn't know anything, but 855 00:45:16,920 --> 00:45:19,239 Speaker 1: JJ was his favorite because he did that, and like 856 00:45:19,280 --> 00:45:22,320 Speaker 1: I said earlier, writing for him is hard. It actually 857 00:45:22,400 --> 00:45:24,520 Speaker 1: hurts him. But I was like, Jack, we gotta do 858 00:45:24,560 --> 00:45:26,319 Speaker 1: we gotta get a thank you to JJ. He pulled 859 00:45:26,320 --> 00:45:27,959 Speaker 1: the pen out of my hand because I was gonna 860 00:45:27,960 --> 00:45:29,080 Speaker 1: write it for him. He pulled it out of his 861 00:45:29,080 --> 00:45:31,799 Speaker 1: hand and he wrote the whole thing for JJ, and 862 00:45:31,880 --> 00:45:33,960 Speaker 1: I gave it to JJ while we're at OTAs and 863 00:45:34,000 --> 00:45:36,160 Speaker 1: you could just tell that JJ was like almost more 864 00:45:36,200 --> 00:45:40,120 Speaker 1: thankful for a nice note from Jack than we were 865 00:45:40,200 --> 00:45:43,120 Speaker 1: to receive it. And I was like, to me, you 866 00:45:43,120 --> 00:45:45,879 Speaker 1: know that was that was JJ in a nutshell, man. 867 00:45:46,080 --> 00:45:49,080 Speaker 1: He was he and I wasn't gonna tell that story. 868 00:45:49,120 --> 00:45:51,200 Speaker 1: I didn't want to put that stuff out there, you know, 869 00:45:51,520 --> 00:45:53,560 Speaker 1: I wanted to wait until he was, you know, he 870 00:45:53,600 --> 00:45:56,239 Speaker 1: was not playing in Houston anymore, retired, and I hope 871 00:45:56,239 --> 00:45:57,680 Speaker 1: that was going to be one in the same time. 872 00:45:58,600 --> 00:46:01,560 Speaker 1: But it was just, you know, something I felt that 873 00:46:02,040 --> 00:46:04,239 Speaker 1: I wanted to put out there and just you know, 874 00:46:04,360 --> 00:46:06,520 Speaker 1: let him know. Look, we're gonna remember the sacks and 875 00:46:06,560 --> 00:46:08,200 Speaker 1: the TFLs because that was our job. I mean, that 876 00:46:08,280 --> 00:46:09,960 Speaker 1: is our job.
