1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,720

Speaker 1: B City. The gang is all here. Hello kids.

6
00:00:16,760 --> 00:00:19,280
Speaker 2: Hello, It's been a long time since we've been all together.

7
00:00:19,480 --> 00:00:21,319
Speaker 1: I know we need to do it more often. I

8
00:00:21,360 --> 00:00:24,000
Speaker 1: decided we need to get together, we need to break

9
00:00:24,040 --> 00:00:26,599
Speaker 1: bread and talk. And we have a lot of things

10
00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:28,520
Speaker 1: going on, all right. We just had that little thing

11
00:00:28,560 --> 00:00:33,000
Speaker 1: called the draft a couple of weeks ago. Yeah, Johnny, No,

12
00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:36,280
Speaker 1: Johnny said, it's always going on. The draft never begins

13
00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:39,760
Speaker 1: and it never ends. It's like the universe. It's eternal.

14
00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:41,640
Speaker 1: And it's true because I know you're already working on

15
00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:44,199
Speaker 1: last year. I mean next year. You're not working on

16
00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:46,800
Speaker 1: last year? Yeah, next year? How far are you ahead

17
00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:47,480
Speaker 1: with next year?

18
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:53,760
Speaker 3: I posted Caleb Williams Scotting Report video on YouTube. I

19
00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:57,280
Speaker 3: am working on hopefully tonight later today I'll be posting

20
00:00:57,320 --> 00:01:00,760
Speaker 3: my top thirty two to twenty twenty four and prospects,

21
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:03,560
Speaker 3: and hopefully by the end of the month, my Harris

22
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:05,600
Speaker 3: one hundred very first Harrison one hundred and twenty twenty

23
00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:06,200
Speaker 3: four will be up.

24
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:07,080
Speaker 1: Very cool.

25
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:08,280
Speaker 2: I have a question, Johnny.

26
00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:10,160
Speaker 4: I know we're going to talk about our own schedule,

27
00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:13,679
Speaker 4: but does the transfer portal change your rankings?

28
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:14,679
Speaker 2: Does that affect anything?

29
00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:17,920
Speaker 1: Not really player as a player, just knowing where the

30
00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:18,440
Speaker 1: guy is.

31
00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:20,480
Speaker 3: Like sometimes if there's a guy that plays for a team, like,

32
00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:25,760
Speaker 3: for example, Dian Henley was linebacker Washington State, and if

33
00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:29,160
Speaker 3: you're not kind of tracking where they've gone, sometimes you'd

34
00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:31,200
Speaker 3: lose track of a guy. Like for example, I'm watching

35
00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:32,959
Speaker 3: Washington State last year and I'm like, man, I love

36
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:35,360
Speaker 3: this dude, linebacker number one Henley. I'm like, he's a

37
00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:38,280
Speaker 3: really good player. Then I want to watch Vota. I'm like, hey,

38
00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:40,880
Speaker 3: where's number eleven. I couldn't figure out what number eleven was. Well,

39
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:43,800
Speaker 3: number eleven became number one at Washington State. So it

40
00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:45,680
Speaker 3: just kind of jogs the memory of like, oh, yeah,

41
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:47,760
Speaker 3: that guy went from this school to that school. But

42
00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:50,960
Speaker 3: as far as transferring, it's just where they get an

43
00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:54,080
Speaker 3: opportunity really and just oh wait, I forgot he went

44
00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:56,320
Speaker 3: from there to there. But it doesn't really change kind

45
00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:59,000
Speaker 3: of the my thought process of.

46
00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:00,720
Speaker 1: What he can be or what you know the future

47
00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:01,240
Speaker 1: is going to be.

48
00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:04,440
Speaker 3: So it's just a matter of tracking it all and

49
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:07,400
Speaker 3: knowing where those guys end up, because it's I mean,

50
00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:10,400
Speaker 3: it's happening now. Like I've got my whole database like

51
00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:12,520
Speaker 3: set up, and there's a guy from well, he was

52
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:15,840
Speaker 3: at Michigan State last Saturday and he's in my HAIRRIS

53
00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:17,919
Speaker 3: one hundred, but now he's transferring, and now I'm like,

54
00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:18,960
Speaker 3: I don't know where he's gonna.

55
00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:21,960
Speaker 4: Transfer, right, just like I guess that's why you have

56
00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:23,880
Speaker 4: multiple iterations of your ranking.

57
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:25,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean in some sense because it's just you know,

58
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:28,600
Speaker 3: it's initial. It's coming out of the twenty twenty two season,

59
00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:31,440
Speaker 3: so yeah, some guys are gonna shine into twenty twenty

60
00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:32,880
Speaker 3: three and I want to make sure you know I

61
00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:34,919
Speaker 3: include them. And then there's some guys that like Tyree

62
00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:37,320
Speaker 3: Wilson last year he could tell he was raw. I

63
00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:39,639
Speaker 3: was like, guys, I'm not quite there on him yet.

64
00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:41,520
Speaker 3: I need to do more work, let's see. And then

65
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:43,280
Speaker 3: twenty twenty two he was outstanding, so it's like, of

66
00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:45,079
Speaker 3: course I got to put him in there. So yeah,

67
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:47,679
Speaker 3: it's just the pulmonary like here's where I would here's

68
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:49,680
Speaker 3: where I would start stacking, and that's what our you know,

69
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:52,320
Speaker 3: our scouts and throughout the league do. They They stack

70
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:53,839
Speaker 3: him in the summer and get an idea of where

71
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:55,840
Speaker 3: they should be, and then they kind of check in

72
00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:58,200
Speaker 3: three different times beginning the season, middle season, end the season.

73
00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:01,040
Speaker 3: They kind of see where they are. So hopefully those

74
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:02,959
Speaker 3: players will end up somewhere. We'll get a chance to

75
00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:04,640
Speaker 3: see him and study him. But the scouts find him,

76
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:05,600
Speaker 3: you can play, they'll find you.

77
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:08,840
Speaker 1: Well. We'll see where the rookies fare or how they

78
00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:11,120
Speaker 1: fare this year, the ones they just got in this

79
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:16,080
Speaker 1: recent draft and Rookie Minicap. Rookie Minicap is this weekend. Okay,

80
00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:18,360
Speaker 1: so I know we're gonna talk some schedule stuff, but

81
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:22,480
Speaker 1: also first to kick it off. Aha, it's a curveball,

82
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:25,400
Speaker 1: it's an audible. What are you looking forward to seeing

83
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:28,239
Speaker 1: the most other than CJ. Stratum at Rookie Minnie Camp?

84
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:31,799
Speaker 5: Tank Dell baby, I want to see the electricity from

85
00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:34,839
Speaker 5: the flash from I mean, I know he's nicknamed Tank

86
00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:36,440
Speaker 5: because his head was big when he was a baby.

87
00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:38,600
Speaker 5: He told deeply that story. He's told others that story.

88
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:42,000
Speaker 5: But man, I just want to see that guy. What

89
00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:46,000
Speaker 5: he looks like with other professionals, how it translates to

90
00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:48,200
Speaker 5: the next level. And I know you can't get a

91
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:51,119
Speaker 5: true sense of it in May as opposed to September,

92
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:54,080
Speaker 5: but I'm just pumped after seeing what we did, or

93
00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:56,400
Speaker 5: he's what we saw of him the last few years

94
00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:58,320
Speaker 5: around here, That's who I want to check out. That's

95
00:03:58,360 --> 00:03:58,880
Speaker 5: what I'm looking for.

96
00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:02,080
Speaker 4: To most sounds superficial, but I'm actually looking forward to

97
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:05,520
Speaker 4: seeing the numbers, Like what numbers he's got it?

98
00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:07,320
Speaker 1: Because Johnny so tired of.

99
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:11,880
Speaker 4: The good numbers are taken, Like all the good numbers

100
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:15,200
Speaker 4: are taken. The first available number I think we saw

101
00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:16,000
Speaker 4: was thirteen.

102
00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:18,520
Speaker 2: John Yeah, like, no one's going to take thirteen. So

103
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:19,799
Speaker 2: I'm just curious to see.

104
00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:23,599
Speaker 5: Like that'll get taken even though it's already warned by somebody.

105
00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:24,520
Speaker 2: It's get it is taken.

106
00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:26,320
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's gonna get taken.

107
00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:27,440
Speaker 2: Is it going to get moved?

108
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:28,640
Speaker 5: I bet it might not.

109
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:30,040
Speaker 1: Think fair Baron gives up seven.

110
00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:31,360
Speaker 5: I bet there's a swap.

111
00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:33,800
Speaker 1: I bet there's a swap too. I don't know anything,

112
00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:34,680
Speaker 1: but I bet there's.

113
00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:36,400
Speaker 4: A maybe CJ's like, oh you know what, there's this

114
00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:38,520
Speaker 4: other number that I've always wanted.

115
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:40,000
Speaker 5: No way, and it's X.

116
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:40,280
Speaker 1: Well.

117
00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:42,400
Speaker 3: Any of the numbers that he's worn in high school.

118
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:47,880
Speaker 3: He wore fourteen in college once his twenty twenty season.

119
00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:51,080
Speaker 3: He wore one in high school. He wore seven in

120
00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:53,960
Speaker 3: high state, fourteen, high stage. All those those are taken.

121
00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:54,600
Speaker 3: Jimmy Ward.

122
00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:57,679
Speaker 1: Oh, Jimmy Ward has won. You can't mess with Jimmy Ward.

123
00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:00,839
Speaker 2: No, I like, I like number two, or give up

124
00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:01,320
Speaker 2: number two.

125
00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:03,920
Speaker 1: Oh he just got that number. No, he's not last

126
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:06,359
Speaker 1: year year number. Listen.

127
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:10,560
Speaker 3: Single digit numbers are like gold you could exactly you're not.

128
00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:11,840
Speaker 5: They're not a lot of drama.

129
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:15,000
Speaker 1: So if you're a quarterback, you can't wear above nineteen. Right,

130
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:18,120
Speaker 1: that's it. I mean, boy, well, I be that was

131
00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:22,800
Speaker 1: in college thing in college twenty two. Yeah, nobody's doing it.

132
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:24,960
Speaker 1: In the NFL, he war two, but in college he

133
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:27,040
Speaker 1: war twenty two. I think twenty two right now as

134
00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:29,400
Speaker 1: a pro would be super cool to wear a number

135
00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:32,760
Speaker 1: like that, or thirty three as a quarterback, something really ridiculous.

136
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:36,120
Speaker 1: Well remember Mac Jones as a rookie was fifty. Is

137
00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:38,320
Speaker 1: he gonna be number fifty? That was just the Patriots

138
00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:40,480
Speaker 1: thing because Zallas got traded us.

139
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:43,320
Speaker 3: On Twitter some some foreign patriots like, yeah, he gonna

140
00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:46,160
Speaker 3: be forty two in camp talking about his jersey. Now

141
00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:50,000
Speaker 3: he wore number zero at is that number he war

142
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:54,239
Speaker 3: zero at at Coloro at Oregon when he transferred from Colorado?

143
00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:58,640
Speaker 1: So yeah, that's funny. Okay, let's do this, Johnny, what's yours?

144
00:05:58,760 --> 00:05:59,520
Speaker 1: What are you looking for?

145
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:02,720
Speaker 3: Other than I took the obvious, you know with tank

146
00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:05,360
Speaker 3: del but I think it's just you know, of course

147
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:07,880
Speaker 3: you took away C. J. Stroud. I mean I'll watch

148
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:11,800
Speaker 3: I'll watch probably the uh, I'll probably watch Will Anderson

149
00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:14,600
Speaker 3: just move move around just how he you know, how

150
00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:17,120
Speaker 3: he does, and just watching offensive defensive lineman kind of

151
00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:19,440
Speaker 3: move around because they're not gonna anybody, but just you

152
00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:22,440
Speaker 3: get a few four you know, agility, movement, you know,

153
00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:24,040
Speaker 3: things that they're gonna have to do in this in

154
00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:26,760
Speaker 3: this scheme, and you know you're not gonna see the physicality,

155
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:28,080
Speaker 3: but you're going to see how well they move. And

156
00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:29,800
Speaker 3: I think that's gonna be a pretty important thing. So

157
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:32,400
Speaker 3: I'll do what nobody else does. I'll dive on the

158
00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:37,320
Speaker 3: lineman grenade and I'll go watch the lineman because nobody

159
00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:41,760
Speaker 3: else is going to. I couldn't Wall practice, and he

160
00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:44,680
Speaker 3: was great, Well, no, no, of course you're gonna watch

161
00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:46,920
Speaker 3: Tank Dell. Who doesn't watch want to watch Tank Dell

162
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:50,480
Speaker 3: out practice. I mean, seriously, Stevie Wonder would want to

163
00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:51,560
Speaker 3: watch Tank dellut practice.

164
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:54,320
Speaker 1: Got Xavier too, can watch him. I know Xavier's fun.

165
00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:56,560
Speaker 3: He's I think he's gonna surprise a lot of people

166
00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:58,240
Speaker 3: because people are like he's a six round pick.

167
00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:00,400
Speaker 1: He's going to surprise a lot of people, a lot

168
00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:03,039
Speaker 1: of people. It's gonna be fun. Rookie camp this Friday,

173
00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:18,960
Speaker 1: didn't we get some leaks last year, Johnny, were starting

174
00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:20,200
Speaker 1: to get some nice.

175
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:25,880
Speaker 3: Leaks, very toxic leaks.

176
00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:27,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, don't touch those. And then you have some

177
00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:30,120
Speaker 1: that are absolutely legit. I'm putting them all out there

178
00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:35,720
Speaker 1: as leaks as hey, beware, buyer, beware, listener beware. But yes, yeah,

179
00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:38,800
Speaker 1: these these are leaks. And we don't know one year,

180
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:41,239
Speaker 1: this is a few years ago, somebody leaked an entire

181
00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:45,600
Speaker 1: schedule that was totally incorrect, but it looked legit. It

182
00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:49,760
Speaker 1: was ad in our sharfter. No, it was uh, what

183
00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:54,160
Speaker 1: is your what is your name? For shifters? Yeah, for shifters.

184
00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:57,920
Speaker 3: Domination of wrong letters is gonna is gonna work. But

185
00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:00,120
Speaker 3: there was some there was somebody on Twitter was put

186
00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:04,080
Speaker 3: out fake games and then at the end admitted it

187
00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:06,880
Speaker 3: and said, yeah, I just wanted to see if I'd

188
00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:08,480
Speaker 3: get anybody to follow it. He ended up getting like

189
00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:10,960
Speaker 3: ten thousand followers. He was completely wrong.

190
00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:13,080
Speaker 2: Fronklyn followed him yeah and.

191
00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:15,400
Speaker 1: Then done, but he got like ten thousand followers in

192
00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:17,320
Speaker 1: the process. You could probably get a lot of followers

193
00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:22,240
Speaker 1: in this fake transfer portal reporting. That'd be awesome me okay,

194
00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:24,160
Speaker 1: But anyway, our schedule show is going to be on

195
00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:28,360
Speaker 1: Thursday night. But let's do this now, schedule prediction program

196
00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:31,680
Speaker 1: and thoughts on the schedule, including but not limited to

197
00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:37,319
Speaker 1: wishes we have for the twenty twenty three Houston Texans scheduled.

198
00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:42,080
Speaker 1: So let's start here. Prediction for opening day Opening day

199
00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:46,480
Speaker 1: opponent for the Houston Texans, who and where and maybe

200
00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:48,720
Speaker 1: what network to No, I'm just kidding around with that,

201
00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:52,240
Speaker 1: but for instance, I don't think the listener really cares

202
00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:54,599
Speaker 1: right now. But if you're playing the Colts, normally that

203
00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:56,400
Speaker 1: would be a CBS game. Now it doesn't have to be.

204
00:08:56,480 --> 00:08:59,480
Speaker 1: It could be a Fox game because that Sunday afternoon

205
00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:03,360
Speaker 1: new work assignment deal is off. There's gonna be a

206
00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:06,920
Speaker 1: fight for the best games on Sunday afternoon between Fox

207
00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:09,000
Speaker 1: and CBS. We'll see how that goes. But that's sort

208
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:11,040
Speaker 1: of inside baseball stuff. Drew will start with you.

209
00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:16,440
Speaker 5: The Texans will open the season at home against the

210
00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:23,120
Speaker 5: Jacksonville Jaguars. It's gonna be Liberty White against the central foes. Sorry,

211
00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:27,200
Speaker 5: but I just I've seen this movie before, and that's

212
00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:31,360
Speaker 5: what I think it's gonna Here is the Blue. But

213
00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:33,200
Speaker 5: I got something fun a little bit later on in

214
00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:34,920
Speaker 5: this exercise, Don't you worry.

215
00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:37,440
Speaker 4: I want Drew to answer all of Mark's questions with

216
00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:38,960
Speaker 4: the most wamps.

217
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:40,959
Speaker 2: I really do, because I think that'd be I'd be

218
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:41,880
Speaker 2: so entertained.

219
00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:43,720
Speaker 5: By I can't not today, I can't guard. You're right.

220
00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:45,319
Speaker 2: No, you're you're absolutely right.

221
00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:47,360
Speaker 4: That's probably what but we get so amped up over

222
00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:48,319
Speaker 4: the possibilities.

223
00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:50,679
Speaker 1: It's funny how we react to the jack where it's

224
00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:54,440
Speaker 1: like wow, But they are the division champs, they're picked

225
00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:57,160
Speaker 1: to win the division again. You should want to play

226
00:09:57,200 --> 00:10:00,000
Speaker 1: them and beat them opening day at home. Of course,

227
00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:02,800
Speaker 1: they'll want to beat anybody they play, but that should

228
00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:04,960
Speaker 1: not be a want wah, that should be a oh cool,

229
00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:06,640
Speaker 1: You're opening against the chap.

230
00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:08,960
Speaker 5: They're feeling really good about themselves, and they should. I

231
00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:11,600
Speaker 5: was with Brian Sexton quite a bit at the draft

232
00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:13,559
Speaker 5: a not a week or so ago, and he's he's

233
00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:15,679
Speaker 5: amped up, you know, and he's been down this road

234
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:19,400
Speaker 5: a lot with this team as far as year after

235
00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:22,920
Speaker 5: year after year of just bleak bleak Outlooks not the

236
00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:24,960
Speaker 5: case right now. They got a quarterback, they've got a

237
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:27,319
Speaker 5: head coach that they all believe in, and they think

238
00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:29,360
Speaker 5: they've got some talent around this young quarterback before this

239
00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:32,040
Speaker 5: head coach, so they're pretty pumped up about the season come.

240
00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:34,520
Speaker 5: And he had a pepinist step, so you know, that'd

241
00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:36,319
Speaker 5: be a big test for the Texans right off the bat.

242
00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:38,760
Speaker 5: They're all tests, I know, but that one especially.

243
00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:40,480
Speaker 1: So I'll tell you where I don't want to open

244
00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:42,360
Speaker 1: and I'm not using one of my wishes on this.

245
00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:44,200
Speaker 1: I don't want to open in Jacksonville. I don't want

246
00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:46,000
Speaker 1: to do that. I don't want to go there in

247
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:48,920
Speaker 1: September at noon. Yes, I don't want to be there

248
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:52,760
Speaker 1: then against that team. If they're gonna come here, okay, great,

249
00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:55,480
Speaker 1: good opener. I like it. I don't think it's going

250
00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:57,400
Speaker 1: to be that. But that's Drew's prediction for the opening

251
00:10:57,440 --> 00:10:58,840
Speaker 1: day opponent, d B, what's yours.

252
00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:01,000
Speaker 4: I think we returned to the scene of the crime,

253
00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:06,640
Speaker 4: Indianapolis Texans, that Colts. The way the game, the way

254
00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:09,120
Speaker 4: the game ended, which which Drew and I have talked

255
00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:11,880
Speaker 4: about this, that would have been such an exciting game

256
00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:15,800
Speaker 4: if if it was an important season and they were.

257
00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:18,160
Speaker 5: A vacuum, it was a tremendous a.

258
00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:20,800
Speaker 4: Fantastic game if there wasn't so much on the line

259
00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:23,600
Speaker 4: for draft picks. But because of the way that game ended,

260
00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:26,320
Speaker 4: the Texans end up with CJ. Strud and Will Anderson

261
00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:29,400
Speaker 4: and which is great, which is great, And the Colts

262
00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:32,520
Speaker 4: end up with Anthony Richardson. So maybe, you know, maybe

263
00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:35,200
Speaker 4: that would have changed had the Texans.

264
00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:37,440
Speaker 5: That's a really good prediction. Because the Texans have never

265
00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:39,320
Speaker 5: opened the season there, have they?

266
00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:43,360
Speaker 1: I don't know, they never opened that indian I've always

267
00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:44,280
Speaker 1: wanted it to happen.

268
00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:46,920
Speaker 5: It seems like a you know, their do guy to

269
00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:48,360
Speaker 5: a moment happened, and that's a good one.

270
00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:50,280
Speaker 4: I like that DP that that could it's probably it's

271
00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:52,360
Speaker 4: probably gonna be yours, but I i'd like to see that.

272
00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:56,600
Speaker 1: Well, you're right about that game because the Texans did

273
00:11:56,640 --> 00:11:59,040
Speaker 1: not lose to the Colts last year, a tie and

274
00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:03,000
Speaker 1: a win, and I felt weird at best after each

275
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:07,240
Speaker 1: of those games. Right but after after CJ. Stroud and

276
00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:10,200
Speaker 1: Will Anderson were acquired by the Texans, Johnny said this

277
00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:11,679
Speaker 1: on Draft night, the.

278
00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:14,040
Speaker 3: Four of us are gonna sit here and celebrate Week

279
00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:17,520
Speaker 3: eighteen against the Indianapolis Colts to win up in Indianapolis. Yes,

280
00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:19,480
Speaker 3: because we've got our guy that is going to go

281
00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:21,800
Speaker 3: to battle. I love the fact that c J. Stroudud

282
00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:22,760
Speaker 3: be this team's quarterback.

283
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:27,079
Speaker 1: So Johnny went right to celebrating that pick or that

284
00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:29,920
Speaker 1: win during the pick and I thought that was cool.

285
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:32,440
Speaker 1: This is the draft guy saying, Hey, we're finally allowed

286
00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:35,040
Speaker 1: to celebrate that victory. And I like that. John Yep.

287
00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:39,280
Speaker 3: Absolutely, Cleveland Browns at home Week one, scrip the band

288
00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:41,760
Speaker 3: aid off. I've said that for weeks. Just rip the

289
00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:44,120
Speaker 3: band aid off. I have a little birdie that told

290
00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:45,800
Speaker 3: me last year that that game was supposed to be

291
00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:48,360
Speaker 3: Week one or week two last year, and it got

292
00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:50,280
Speaker 3: moved after Tom Brady unretired.

293
00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:52,640
Speaker 1: So Tom Brady, you know what I think about you.

294
00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:55,120
Speaker 3: So they changed a bunch of things arounds, but it

295
00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:57,160
Speaker 3: was supposed to happen, and we I'm saying it's gonna

296
00:12:57,200 --> 00:12:57,920
Speaker 3: happen this year.

297
00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:02,320
Speaker 1: Week one, Cleveland at home. Let's go.

298
00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:04,680
Speaker 3: It's not as sexy as Jaguars at home, but you

299
00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:06,360
Speaker 3: know whatever, that's a look.

300
00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:10,160
Speaker 1: It's compelling though, It's very compelling, and you want to

301
00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:13,200
Speaker 1: beat them badly. You lost to them last year. We

302
00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:15,280
Speaker 1: all had the draft picks, and for the draft pick,

303
00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:18,199
Speaker 1: so let's go. Yeah, Brown's at home. I'd be fine

304
00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:19,880
Speaker 1: with that, look. I gotta be fine with everything. This

305
00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:22,000
Speaker 1: is the ultimate and you have to accept whatever is

306
00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:24,440
Speaker 1: given to you. It's the schedule comes out on Thursday night,

307
00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:29,200
Speaker 1: all right. My prediction for the opening day opponent is

308
00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:32,200
Speaker 1: the Tennessee Titans. It'll be the Vision game. Tennessee Titans

309
00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:37,319
Speaker 1: at home. Liberty White kickoff against Tennessee and let's beat

310
00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:41,240
Speaker 1: the doors off them. Let's beat them badly. I don't

311
00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:43,839
Speaker 1: want to see certain other things happen that I got

312
00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:46,280
Speaker 1: a feeling that this other thing that I'm talking about

313
00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:47,840
Speaker 1: that I'm being vague about is going to come up

314
00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:51,319
Speaker 1: in this conversation. All right, how about this, Yes, let's

315
00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:54,680
Speaker 1: go into your first wish of the schedule of the

316
00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:57,640
Speaker 1: twenty twenty three Texan schedule, which comes out Thursday at

317
00:13:57,720 --> 00:13:58,240
Speaker 1: seven droup.

318
00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:01,280
Speaker 5: And before we get into this switch and we're are

319
00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:05,000
Speaker 5: we one zillion percent sure that the Titans cannot wear

320
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:06,720
Speaker 5: those Oilers uniforms on the road.

321
00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:11,360
Speaker 1: I believe they can't. I believe they can't, and I

322
00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:13,720
Speaker 1: don't believe they would anyway, Well.

323
00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:18,440
Speaker 5: I believe they would.

324
00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:24,000
Speaker 1: What does that say to your fan base in Nashville. Oh,

325
00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:26,280
Speaker 1: we're gonna do this little thing in Houston because we're

326
00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:28,040
Speaker 1: still obsessed with Houston.

327
00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:31,440
Speaker 5: So you guys, says the exact same thing it's been

328
00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:33,240
Speaker 5: saying to him for the last twenty five years. When

329
00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:36,720
Speaker 5: they put Warren Moon, Curly Culp, and bum Phillips up

330
00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:39,000
Speaker 5: in their stadium. It's the same thing. What do you

331
00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:40,280
Speaker 5: care you weren't here, We're.

332
00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:44,000
Speaker 3: Gonna I think this matters to one person in Tennessee,

333
00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:47,040
Speaker 3: and one person only I think the fans don't give

334
00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:47,960
Speaker 3: two rips.

335
00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:50,640
Speaker 1: Yep oh about the uniforms. Now they don't, they don't know.

336
00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:53,360
Speaker 3: I think one person cares because she grew up here

337
00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:55,440
Speaker 3: watching that team in this city exactly.

338
00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:58,880
Speaker 1: That's all in fact, I think, honestly, and no disrespect

339
00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:00,480
Speaker 1: to her, but I think it's in a front to

340
00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:04,560
Speaker 1: her fans that she's doing this. They don't care about

341
00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:07,480
Speaker 1: the Oilers' uniforms. They don't care about the Oiler's history.

342
00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:10,160
Speaker 1: If she suddenly said, you know what, we're leaving the

343
00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:13,800
Speaker 1: Oilers stuff in Houston, nobody in Nashville would care now

344
00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:17,720
Speaker 1: for one second. They'd be like, great, because we're Titans

345
00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:20,800
Speaker 1: and this is our history. And it started off with

346
00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:23,400
Speaker 1: a bang we went on the super Bowl was awesome

347
00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:26,520
Speaker 1: that it really was for them, and that's what they

348
00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:31,520
Speaker 1: should be celebrating, not the Oilers, the Texans, if anybody

349
00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:33,400
Speaker 1: should be celebrating the Oilers. But you know, we all

350
00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:35,400
Speaker 1: get it. Whatever, Okay, that's.

351
00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:37,160
Speaker 5: Your celebrate the Oilers from time to time.

352
00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:40,760
Speaker 1: No, No, I mean we do as a homecoming kind yeah, yeah, absolutely,

353
00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:42,320
Speaker 1: And we got the h Town blue, which is not

354
00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:44,160
Speaker 1: Oiler blue, but it's h Town and it's part of

355
00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:47,080
Speaker 1: the history of the city. All right, Drew, what's your wish?

356
00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:51,400
Speaker 5: My wish? I wish for the Texans not to play

357
00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:55,760
Speaker 5: on the road on Christmas Eve, because that's a Saturday issue.

358
00:15:56,320 --> 00:15:59,160
Speaker 5: If you have to play on Christmas Eve, because you

359
00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:01,120
Speaker 5: could play on Saturday Day the twenty third, we've done

360
00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:02,600
Speaker 5: that before. But if you have to.

361
00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:05,520
Speaker 1: Play Sunday, I mean, Christmas Eve is a Sunday.

362
00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:08,200
Speaker 5: So but you've played on a Saturday the twenty third

363
00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:10,680
Speaker 5: or twenty second before. So that's my wish. I don't

364
00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:12,160
Speaker 5: want to play on Christmas.

365
00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:15,080
Speaker 1: Eve away away, okay, but we did last.

366
00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:17,000
Speaker 5: Year right on a Saturday with a delay.

367
00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:20,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, but we played on We've played on Christmas Eve. Yes,

368
00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:23,680
Speaker 1: we've played on Christmas Eve. On Christmas Eve too. I

369
00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:26,600
Speaker 1: don't want you don't you don't want to do that, yes, okay,

370
00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:28,880
Speaker 1: but you were here for Christmas Morning exactly.

371
00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:30,560
Speaker 5: But I want to be here for Christmas Eve. Yeah,

372
00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:32,120
Speaker 5: I know Christmas Morning because I'm greedy.

373
00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:35,600
Speaker 1: Okay, yes there, okay, greed as good as.

374
00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:38,160
Speaker 5: Gordon created days of the year, and it's pretty rated.

375
00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:39,920
Speaker 1: Gotcha. Deep wish.

376
00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:43,840
Speaker 4: My wish involves the thing that you were alluding to earlier.

377
00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:44,920
Speaker 2: The Titans.

378
00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:46,880
Speaker 4: We all know that the Oilers uniforms are going to

379
00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:49,880
Speaker 4: come out, and if your theory is true that they

380
00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:53,240
Speaker 4: can only wear them at home, then my wish is

381
00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:54,520
Speaker 4: that the Titans.

382
00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:57,240
Speaker 2: Texans game at Tennessee is.

383
00:16:57,200 --> 00:17:01,320
Speaker 4: Actually their London game, so they cannot the Oilers uniforms

384
00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:02,760
Speaker 4: at home against the Texans.

385
00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:04,520
Speaker 2: Diabolical.

386
00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:08,120
Speaker 1: Wait, so the Texans play the Titans in London.

387
00:17:08,280 --> 00:17:09,320
Speaker 2: I want that to happen.

388
00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:12,159
Speaker 1: Yes, Wow, that's not going to happen.

389
00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:15,040
Speaker 2: The Titans have a home game.

390
00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:16,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, but we're not going to play them. You're not

391
00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:20,880
Speaker 1: gonna have three AFC South teams playing in May. Maybe.

392
00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:22,840
Speaker 3: I don't know about the force JJ to give up

393
00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:26,200
Speaker 3: his ownership after that, not doing that because I think.

394
00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:28,679
Speaker 5: The Texans have to play their next international game in Mexico,

395
00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:29,040
Speaker 5: don't they.

396
00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:30,119
Speaker 1: I don't know if they have to.

397
00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:31,440
Speaker 5: I don't know the agreements.

398
00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:35,760
Speaker 1: I don't yeah, the hma, the marketing agreement. I don't

399
00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:37,760
Speaker 1: know if that's a done deal, Drew, I don't know

400
00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:40,920
Speaker 1: if that's If that's a must, I would think it

401
00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:42,840
Speaker 1: would happen. I would think they would try to arrange

402
00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:45,240
Speaker 1: that at some point, But I don't know if that's

403
00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:45,840
Speaker 1: a must.

404
00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:49,920
Speaker 5: At all Spurs. I've heard the leaves I've read lead

405
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:52,040
Speaker 5: me to believe that you play abroad next.

406
00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:54,399
Speaker 1: I agree if we do. I don't know if it's

407
00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:55,879
Speaker 1: a requirement, but I would think it would be.

408
00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:58,160
Speaker 5: The I love your idea, though, I do love your idea.

409
00:17:58,280 --> 00:17:59,320
Speaker 2: You guys know you don't.

410
00:17:59,359 --> 00:18:01,400
Speaker 5: You guys just love them, and I still think it'll happen.

411
00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:03,200
Speaker 4: But I also don't you have to go so many

412
00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:06,480
Speaker 4: years and play internationals.

413
00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:06,520
Speaker 5: Every eight years.

414
00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:08,840
Speaker 1: Well, it's supposed to be there's now there's more games,

415
00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:10,520
Speaker 1: but it turns out I.

416
00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:11,840
Speaker 5: Just saw this thing today. Eight years.

417
00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:13,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, play once every.

418
00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:16,360
Speaker 3: Eight years now that they've opened up different areas of Germany,

419
00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:20,439
Speaker 3: multiple games in London, multiple locations in London and Mexico City.

420
00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:22,480
Speaker 3: I think the goal is that they've got to do

421
00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:23,560
Speaker 3: it every eight years.

422
00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:26,439
Speaker 1: That's kind of what I think.

423
00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:28,760
Speaker 5: It's supposed to have played twice internationally in the last

424
00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:29,280
Speaker 5: eight years.

425
00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:32,840
Speaker 4: That's true, we did play. We did play Jacksonville before COVID.

426
00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:35,360
Speaker 4: But anyway, I still my wish still stands. I want

427
00:18:35,359 --> 00:18:36,919
Speaker 4: to play Tennessee over there so they can't wear their

428
00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:37,800
Speaker 4: Oilers uniforms.

429
00:18:37,880 --> 00:18:39,400
Speaker 5: You just want to go to London, and I do too.

430
00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:42,320
Speaker 2: I also do want to go to fun trip.

431
00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:44,200
Speaker 3: I mean, you can be honest about it and say,

432
00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:46,240
Speaker 3: just come right out and say it. I want to

433
00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:46,800
Speaker 3: go to London.

434
00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:48,119
Speaker 5: That's my favorite Texans road trip.

435
00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:50,120
Speaker 1: Johnny wish.

436
00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:53,679
Speaker 3: I want to see c J versus Bryce in prime time. Okay,

437
00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:55,440
Speaker 3: I'd like to see that in prime time. And I

438
00:18:55,480 --> 00:18:56,960
Speaker 3: don't care where that happens early in the year or

439
00:18:57,000 --> 00:18:59,679
Speaker 3: later in the year. I want to see picks one

440
00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:03,440
Speaker 3: and two go at it on primetime stage, be it

441
00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:04,360
Speaker 3: Thursday night.

442
00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:06,399
Speaker 1: In Charlotte, whatever it's going to be in Charlotte. There

443
00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:08,320
Speaker 1: would be night earlier in the year, would be kind

444
00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:09,040
Speaker 1: of tough at noon.

445
00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:12,320
Speaker 3: So that's why I say, let's play that thing at

446
00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:13,919
Speaker 3: primetime and see two teams.

447
00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:16,679
Speaker 1: I am worried about the Texans getting.

448
00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:18,439
Speaker 3: A primetime game, and that might be the way that

449
00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:21,160
Speaker 3: we get one is to have those two having those

450
00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:22,960
Speaker 3: two lockhorns in Charlotte.

451
00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:27,560
Speaker 1: All right. One of my wishes is that the Pittsburgh game.

452
00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:31,120
Speaker 1: This is very micro, but that the Pittsburgh game happens

453
00:19:31,240 --> 00:19:33,760
Speaker 1: later in the year, although they do get strong there

454
00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:38,800
Speaker 1: sometimes later in the year. Yeah, you remember seventeen, I

455
00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:41,040
Speaker 1: know that would didn't go well either. Maybe I should

456
00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:44,159
Speaker 1: change my wish, but I don't. I don't want to

457
00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:47,399
Speaker 1: step on your wishes. I don't want I want problematic

458
00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:52,480
Speaker 1: teams to be playing us late because they're a big

459
00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:56,080
Speaker 1: problem coming in here with their fans, stealer nation, all

460
00:19:56,080 --> 00:19:59,119
Speaker 1: of that. The way they did Christmas twenty seventeen, I

461
00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:01,000
Speaker 1: don't want to see that kind thing again. I guess

462
00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:03,960
Speaker 1: they're gonna travel anyway, but travel on the worst possible weekend.

463
00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:06,680
Speaker 1: Although that was Christmas Day and they still showed up anyway.

464
00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:08,960
Speaker 1: But in twenty eleven, what week was it that we

465
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:12,000
Speaker 1: beat them? It was like early or something. It was

466
00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:14,720
Speaker 1: it was early, exactly, all right, Maybe you're right, Okay,

467
00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:16,920
Speaker 1: never mind, we beat them, right, I guess I guess

468
00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:21,160
Speaker 1: I blew my wish there, all right? Prime Time predictions,

469
00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:24,879
Speaker 1: Prime Time predictions, Drew, Are you ready for Prime time predictions?

470
00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:26,720
Speaker 5: I am. I think the over unders should be said

471
00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:30,800
Speaker 5: at zero point five. And I think if the Texans

472
00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:33,600
Speaker 5: hit that over, Unlike you guys, you.

473
00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:35,359
Speaker 1: Don't think they're gonna get more than one.

474
00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:39,919
Speaker 5: No, And unlike you guys, who are, I think I

475
00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:43,960
Speaker 5: think that's a good, good prediction. The Carolina Texans. That's

476
00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:46,560
Speaker 5: a good I'm gonna go the other way. I think

477
00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:49,679
Speaker 5: if they play in primetime, it's at Tennessee on a

478
00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:53,639
Speaker 5: Thursday night, and they bust out those uniforms, because you

479
00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:58,440
Speaker 5: gotta gotta think basic TV watching. You're flipping channels or

480
00:20:58,440 --> 00:21:01,480
Speaker 5: you're flipping your Amazon Oh blah blah blah blah blah. Oh,

481
00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:04,440
Speaker 5: there's a football game being played in the snow. Oh

482
00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:06,880
Speaker 5: there's a football game being played in a monsoon. Oh

483
00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:09,919
Speaker 5: what's that? That's those the old oiler uniforms. What's going on?

484
00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:12,680
Speaker 5: So I think they'd have a little bit bigger audience.

485
00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:14,560
Speaker 5: And I think that's the one they do if they

486
00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:16,120
Speaker 5: don't do the one you guys choose.

487
00:21:15,840 --> 00:21:18,520
Speaker 1: That's a good prediction. I can't flip channels.

488
00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:19,719
Speaker 2: It's Amazon Prime, I know.

489
00:21:19,800 --> 00:21:21,919
Speaker 1: But you know what you see the little thumbnail and

490
00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:26,400
Speaker 1: sometimes it's a current image. The thumbnail that they display.

491
00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:27,800
Speaker 5: Work with me, and it'll be over the air in

492
00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:28,800
Speaker 5: those home markets.

493
00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:32,080
Speaker 1: And by the way, the Amazon schedule this year it's

494
00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:34,720
Speaker 1: different because they're going to try to force some good

495
00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:38,199
Speaker 1: games into Thursday night. It's no longer a requirement that

496
00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:40,760
Speaker 1: every team gets a Thursday Night primetime game at the

497
00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:41,320
Speaker 1: very least.

498
00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:42,000
Speaker 5: That's why I said it.

499
00:21:42,119 --> 00:21:44,400
Speaker 1: So some teams might have zero, like you said, some

500
00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:48,080
Speaker 1: teams might have zero primetime games. I'm actually okay with

501
00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:51,880
Speaker 1: this year one of this demico CJ. Stroud thing. I'm

502
00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:54,080
Speaker 1: all right with it. See where it takes us. But

503
00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:57,000
Speaker 1: I believe the Texans are going to get two. Oh

504
00:21:57,000 --> 00:21:58,120
Speaker 1: we'll get to my prediction later.

505
00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:00,240
Speaker 4: Go ahead, deep, Well, I mean I like John is

506
00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:02,240
Speaker 4: obviously number one versus number two, and those who have

507
00:22:02,280 --> 00:22:04,480
Speaker 4: never played each other, so Bryce Young is c J.

508
00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:06,639
Speaker 2: Stroud. It's the first time they're meeting.

509
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:09,480
Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, they never played high school and playing college and.

510
00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:10,080
Speaker 5: You never played.

511
00:22:10,080 --> 00:22:12,440
Speaker 4: They've known each other, but they've never played it. But okay,

512
00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:15,360
Speaker 4: so let's take that off the table. This is totally

513
00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:18,439
Speaker 4: not going to happen, but just for visual appeal, I

514
00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:22,159
Speaker 4: would like to see the Jets against the Texans on

515
00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:24,440
Speaker 4: Thursday night because they wear those wonky uniforms.

516
00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:27,080
Speaker 2: I want them to wear their bright green unis.

517
00:22:27,040 --> 00:22:29,200
Speaker 4: And I want us to have a battle red so

518
00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:33,800
Speaker 4: then and play on Christmas Eve, so it'd be red and.

519
00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:40,320
Speaker 1: Green, red and green Christmas Eve. You in that schedule room, Listen, guys.

520
00:22:41,080 --> 00:22:44,560
Speaker 2: An accidentally came up with this. No, somebody had been

521
00:22:44,560 --> 00:22:47,639
Speaker 2: planning this for months. I wanted to be visually appealing

522
00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:48,360
Speaker 2: on Christmas Eve.

523
00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:52,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, that would be It's not gonna happen one, by the.

524
00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:55,720
Speaker 4: Way, But also storyline wise, you've got Robert Sala, You've

525
00:22:55,720 --> 00:22:58,720
Speaker 4: got Demiko Ryans, You've got two former decordinators going against

526
00:22:58,720 --> 00:23:01,240
Speaker 4: each other. You've got Breeze Hall, you got Damian Pierce

527
00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:03,480
Speaker 4: and they both sort of they were both like.

528
00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:05,720
Speaker 2: In the running for Offensive Rookie of the Year last year.

529
00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:07,560
Speaker 5: If that's the case, they need to have a camera

530
00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:10,800
Speaker 5: set up at Kubiak's ranch watching the old coach and

531
00:23:10,840 --> 00:23:11,960
Speaker 5: his former.

532
00:23:11,800 --> 00:23:14,760
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, duke it out with the Christmas tree in

533
00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:15,400
Speaker 4: the backround.

534
00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:18,040
Speaker 1: Oh, I like this. I'm starting to like this.

535
00:23:18,119 --> 00:23:20,600
Speaker 5: And the lights shimmering like shimmering, And no.

536
00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:22,520
Speaker 4: They don't show who he is the whole time, but

537
00:23:22,560 --> 00:23:24,080
Speaker 4: then he's unveiled at halftime.

538
00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:28,480
Speaker 1: Johnny wish, I mean prime time we wish. I hate

539
00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:30,919
Speaker 1: to say this. I don't think we'll get any really,

540
00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:34,560
Speaker 1: that's your prediction. Yeah, I don't think we're going to

541
00:23:34,640 --> 00:23:35,960
Speaker 1: get any But I don't think that's a bad thing.

542
00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:38,200
Speaker 1: I don't I don't mind playing games at at noon

543
00:23:38,359 --> 00:23:40,600
Speaker 1: on Sunday. I don't have any problem with that. I

544
00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:43,440
Speaker 1: just I mean, it also goes what's the definition of

545
00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:45,640
Speaker 1: primetime game. I mean, if you get the afternoon game

546
00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:50,320
Speaker 1: on a Saturday, you know, Christmas, that's a game. Game

547
00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:52,440
Speaker 1: qualifies two.

548
00:23:52,520 --> 00:23:55,880
Speaker 5: We play zero games west of the city Houston.

549
00:23:55,640 --> 00:23:59,120
Speaker 3: Knowing, knowing, my wish is that they will put us

550
00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:02,359
Speaker 3: against Carolina on a Thursday or whatever, Sunday night, Monday, whatever.

551
00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:03,720
Speaker 1: That's my wish.

552
00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:06,440
Speaker 3: I don't think it'll happen because when they were doing

553
00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:08,880
Speaker 3: the schedule and doing all the algorithms of the schedule,

554
00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:12,320
Speaker 3: there's always talk about us not getting a quarterback. Yeah,

555
00:24:12,359 --> 00:24:14,400
Speaker 3: so at that point, if we're not getting a quarterback,

556
00:24:14,400 --> 00:24:17,480
Speaker 3: well why are we putting Bryce Young against you know whomever?

557
00:24:17,520 --> 00:24:19,879
Speaker 1: At that point, then we get a quarterback, Well, they

558
00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:20,480
Speaker 1: already had.

559
00:24:20,560 --> 00:24:23,080
Speaker 3: It was already announced it was going to be May eleventh,

560
00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:25,240
Speaker 3: on Draft night, I think was when it was announced.

561
00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:27,320
Speaker 1: They already had, They already had.

562
00:24:27,160 --> 00:24:29,119
Speaker 3: The schedule in hand at that point, they had no

563
00:24:29,160 --> 00:24:32,200
Speaker 3: idea we were taking a quarterback. So I think, unfortunately

564
00:24:32,760 --> 00:24:34,280
Speaker 3: we don't get a primetime game this year.

565
00:24:34,800 --> 00:24:37,840
Speaker 5: Okay, if that's the case is every single game at

566
00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:39,880
Speaker 5: noon next year, because like I said, they're not No,

567
00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:42,240
Speaker 5: well they're not playing west of Houston.

568
00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:43,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, think about it.

569
00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:45,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, but we've played Tennessee here at three o'clock in

570
00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:46,120
Speaker 3: the afternoon.

571
00:24:46,119 --> 00:24:48,840
Speaker 1: I think two of the last three years. In twenty eleven,

572
00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:51,120
Speaker 1: I want to say, almost every game was at noon.

573
00:24:51,320 --> 00:24:53,960
Speaker 1: They had the Thursday night prime time. I think every

574
00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:55,919
Speaker 1: game was at noon that year. I know things have

575
00:24:56,040 --> 00:24:59,040
Speaker 1: changed since then, a lot of things have changed since then,

576
00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:02,800
Speaker 1: but because they bottomed out in twenty ten, twenty eleven

577
00:25:02,920 --> 00:25:06,399
Speaker 1: was this noon slate, and from a workability standpoint for us,

578
00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:08,920
Speaker 1: we love the noon games, all right, I get me wrong.

579
00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:11,359
Speaker 1: I hope I'm wrong. Yes, I hope I'm wrong. No,

580
00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:15,679
Speaker 1: I understand those predictions. It's okay. My prediction is you

581
00:25:15,720 --> 00:25:20,800
Speaker 1: get a Thursday eighter Week three at Carolina, possibly week two,

582
00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:24,560
Speaker 1: but I'll stick with my prediction. Week three and Week six,

583
00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:30,440
Speaker 1: Monday night football Jacksonville at Houston. You watch this play

584
00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:35,159
Speaker 1: out because Jacksonville will want that'll be a feature and

585
00:25:35,200 --> 00:25:38,359
Speaker 1: they'll say, you know what, it's week six, it's early enough.

586
00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:40,879
Speaker 1: The Texans will be better. They got a star rookie

587
00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:43,280
Speaker 1: quarterback star. But you know what I'm saying, number two

588
00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:46,639
Speaker 1: pick in the draft and divisional game. And remember the

589
00:25:46,680 --> 00:25:49,600
Speaker 1: Monday night slate is not the Sunday Night slate. ESPN's

590
00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:52,800
Speaker 1: always complaining about it. So this will be a game

591
00:25:52,840 --> 00:25:54,800
Speaker 1: where hey, we'll put Houston at home. It'll keep it

592
00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:58,359
Speaker 1: more competitive. ESPN will take it. The record won't be

593
00:25:58,400 --> 00:26:02,119
Speaker 1: out of control. Let's go for that. Two primetime games

594
00:26:02,119 --> 00:26:05,119
Speaker 1: a Thursday and a Monday. That's my shot. Thank you

595
00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:09,119
Speaker 1: everybody for the round table. All right, coming up, Johnny

596
00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:12,160
Speaker 1: and I do the way too early depth chart. We'll

597
00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:16,840
Speaker 1: start with the offense. Why not, it's Texans Radio, all right?

598
00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:20,160
Speaker 1: Back to it here Texans Radio, Mark Vandermere and John Harris.

599
00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:22,119
Speaker 1: And that was a fun segment with Drew Dordy and

600
00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:26,800
Speaker 1: Dbcitu on the schedule, release predictions and wish list items.

601
00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:28,760
Speaker 1: And if you missed any part of that, that'll be

602
00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:33,119
Speaker 1: up on a podcast in moments after this show airs.

603
00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:37,600
Speaker 1: So let's get to this Johnny way too early depth chart. Look,

604
00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:40,000
Speaker 1: I'm sure the coach is gonna love this one. Yeah,

605
00:26:40,040 --> 00:26:43,320
Speaker 1: this is their favorite segment. Yeah, love it. What do

606
00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:45,520
Speaker 1: you guys got because we got nothing? All right? We're

607
00:26:45,600 --> 00:26:47,840
Speaker 1: just putting the players out there see what happens. But

608
00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:51,119
Speaker 1: you tell us what you think is right. My thoughts

609
00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:55,280
Speaker 1: are this. Here's the disclaimer on this. We know different packages,

610
00:26:55,520 --> 00:26:59,880
Speaker 1: different subpackages, Different guys start in different arrangements. You might

611
00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:03,840
Speaker 1: open up five wide, you might not. You might change

612
00:27:03,840 --> 00:27:06,600
Speaker 1: the personnel of course defensively, of course as well. You

613
00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:08,840
Speaker 1: might open it nickel, you might not. Whatever. Look, we're

614
00:27:08,840 --> 00:27:11,600
Speaker 1: gonna go basic here. Let's start with the offense. Are

615
00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:15,960
Speaker 1: you ready, Johnny do CJ Stroud start opening day? Of

616
00:27:16,040 --> 00:27:17,760
Speaker 1: all the questions you're gonna ask you that that might

617
00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:20,760
Speaker 1: be the toughest. Really, that might be the toughest. I

618
00:27:20,800 --> 00:27:22,880
Speaker 1: feel like I don't want to. I don't think it's

619
00:27:22,880 --> 00:27:25,560
Speaker 1: a fatal complete all right, give me, give me the odds,

620
00:27:25,600 --> 00:27:27,240
Speaker 1: give me the percentage chance.

621
00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:30,040
Speaker 3: I mean I think the I think it's minus one

622
00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:34,280
Speaker 3: one fifty decent odds. You gotta bet one fifty to

623
00:27:34,359 --> 00:27:36,560
Speaker 3: one one hundred. So I mean, that's that's the favorite.

624
00:27:37,640 --> 00:27:40,520
Speaker 3: But as Demiko and Nick both talked about, gotta go

625
00:27:40,560 --> 00:27:43,439
Speaker 3: and earn it, you gotta get it now. CJ's never

626
00:27:43,480 --> 00:27:46,119
Speaker 3: shot away from competition. He loves the competition. So I

627
00:27:46,160 --> 00:27:48,359
Speaker 3: don't think he's gonna shy away from having to go

628
00:27:48,520 --> 00:27:53,560
Speaker 3: win the job, and I think the question becomes, how

629
00:27:55,480 --> 00:27:58,000
Speaker 3: what's it gonna take. Is it gonna take one great

630
00:27:58,040 --> 00:28:00,840
Speaker 3: preseason game? You know, we talked a lot during the

631
00:28:00,880 --> 00:28:04,000
Speaker 3: break about, you know, twenty seventeen, and you know, Deshaun

632
00:28:04,080 --> 00:28:06,040
Speaker 3: after that Carolina game, was that the moment that he

633
00:28:06,080 --> 00:28:09,040
Speaker 3: should have been named the starter going forward? You know,

634
00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:11,800
Speaker 3: once you got into the second week back here, he

635
00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:14,280
Speaker 3: wasn't as good, and then you know, the week in

636
00:28:14,320 --> 00:28:17,399
Speaker 3: New Orleans, he did not practice particularly well against the

637
00:28:17,440 --> 00:28:19,040
Speaker 3: Saints that week. So now all of a sudden, you're

638
00:28:19,080 --> 00:28:21,680
Speaker 3: kind of back up against it, and of course Harvey hits,

639
00:28:21,720 --> 00:28:23,640
Speaker 3: and then everything goes kind of sideways at that point.

640
00:28:23,680 --> 00:28:26,080
Speaker 3: But I think he's got to earn it. But there's

641
00:28:26,080 --> 00:28:29,040
Speaker 3: got to be this time where you're like, that's the moment. Okay,

642
00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:31,920
Speaker 3: now he's the starter. Let's go from here. I still

643
00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:35,560
Speaker 3: think it's the favorite, but I'm not going to just

644
00:28:35,800 --> 00:28:37,960
Speaker 3: anoint him that because he's the number two pick in

645
00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:38,320
Speaker 3: the draft.

646
00:28:38,320 --> 00:28:40,920
Speaker 1: I think that's wise, and I think this is so exciting.

647
00:28:41,040 --> 00:28:44,280
Speaker 1: I don't think I know this is a fact, because

648
00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:47,760
Speaker 1: if you had an established starter that's great because all right,

649
00:28:47,880 --> 00:28:50,280
Speaker 1: that's the starter. We'll just get ready for the season.

650
00:28:50,960 --> 00:28:52,760
Speaker 1: This is you don't know what's gonna happen. It's like

651
00:28:52,800 --> 00:28:54,800
Speaker 1: the draft itself. You don't know what's gonna happen. I

652
00:28:54,800 --> 00:28:56,680
Speaker 1: would figure he would start, but they're not going to

653
00:28:56,720 --> 00:28:59,240
Speaker 1: put him out there before he's ready. So you get

654
00:28:59,280 --> 00:29:02,920
Speaker 1: to observe the process of him getting ready, of winning

655
00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:05,880
Speaker 1: that job, of what it's going to take. Whatever it is.

656
00:29:06,200 --> 00:29:09,800
Speaker 1: Three preseason games, all the training camp practices, we will

657
00:29:09,840 --> 00:29:12,280
Speaker 1: be there for all of it. Let's just pencil on

658
00:29:12,320 --> 00:29:14,400
Speaker 1: them in for now. We'll put a pencil on it.

659
00:29:14,680 --> 00:29:16,200
Speaker 1: I think that's a good way to do it. Pencil

660
00:29:16,280 --> 00:29:20,400
Speaker 1: him in. No pen running back Damian Pierce, now, look,

661
00:29:20,480 --> 00:29:21,960
Speaker 1: we'll just put him right there. We don't need to

662
00:29:22,040 --> 00:29:24,560
Speaker 1: discuss this. But at fullback, Johnny and I think they

663
00:29:24,720 --> 00:29:27,160
Speaker 1: like the fullback obviously. I know they like the fallback

664
00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:29,480
Speaker 1: in this offense. You have Troy Harriston, who's coming back.

665
00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:32,840
Speaker 1: We saw what he did last year was interesting. Andrew Beck, though,

666
00:29:32,920 --> 00:29:34,840
Speaker 1: was signed in the offseason. And those are the two

667
00:29:34,920 --> 00:29:38,000
Speaker 1: guys right now vying for the competition. I would expect

668
00:29:38,040 --> 00:29:40,520
Speaker 1: them to only take one of them. I could be wrong,

669
00:29:41,120 --> 00:29:42,080
Speaker 1: but what do you think.

670
00:29:43,560 --> 00:29:47,320
Speaker 3: I'm kind of torn on this because Troy is such

671
00:29:47,360 --> 00:29:50,160
Speaker 3: a hammerhead that if you want to get in that path,

672
00:29:50,280 --> 00:29:54,360
Speaker 3: you want to get in a power game, lead isolation,

673
00:29:54,600 --> 00:29:56,920
Speaker 3: that kind of thing, Troy's your guy. I mean, he's

674
00:29:57,000 --> 00:29:59,160
Speaker 3: absolutely a guy that can do that. And you know

675
00:29:59,280 --> 00:30:02,520
Speaker 3: Troy's gonna give you something on special teams too. I

676
00:30:02,520 --> 00:30:04,320
Speaker 3: shouldn't even say just give you something, because I'm sure

677
00:30:04,360 --> 00:30:06,040
Speaker 3: that Beck can go on a special teams to do

678
00:30:06,120 --> 00:30:10,080
Speaker 3: things on special teams. But Troy Harriston's excellent on special

679
00:30:10,160 --> 00:30:12,840
Speaker 3: teams and you don't want to lose that. So I

680
00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:18,840
Speaker 3: think the key for Troy is what other offensive trait

681
00:30:18,960 --> 00:30:20,440
Speaker 3: can you show them that you have?

682
00:30:20,800 --> 00:30:21,000
Speaker 1: Yeah?

683
00:30:21,760 --> 00:30:21,920
Speaker 5: Is it?

684
00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:23,960
Speaker 3: You could be a reliable receiver out in the flat.

685
00:30:24,040 --> 00:30:26,360
Speaker 3: I mean, you think about where San Francisco came from.

686
00:30:26,400 --> 00:30:30,440
Speaker 3: They had Kyle Yustchek, and I mean Kyle's not the

687
00:30:30,600 --> 00:30:34,120
Speaker 3: hammerhead blocker that Harston is, but he is a big

688
00:30:34,240 --> 00:30:37,080
Speaker 3: time weapon in the passing game. So there's a lot

689
00:30:37,160 --> 00:30:39,160
Speaker 3: you can do with him, and I think that that

690
00:30:39,280 --> 00:30:41,640
Speaker 3: might ultimately end up being the key is how much

691
00:30:42,280 --> 00:30:46,440
Speaker 3: offensively can each guy give you if both of them

692
00:30:46,480 --> 00:30:50,560
Speaker 3: are just blockers then, and that's really it. Then it's

693
00:30:50,600 --> 00:30:52,960
Speaker 3: going to be termed on special teams, which probably gives

694
00:30:53,040 --> 00:30:55,680
Speaker 3: the lead to Troy Harrison at that particular moment. But

695
00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:59,520
Speaker 3: whichever guy shows some duality in his game on the

696
00:30:59,560 --> 00:31:02,880
Speaker 3: offense side, that guy is gonna end up winning that battle.

697
00:31:02,880 --> 00:31:04,360
Speaker 3: And it's just a matter of that point. Let's say

698
00:31:04,360 --> 00:31:07,560
Speaker 3: it's back and he wins that job. Do you still

699
00:31:07,640 --> 00:31:09,800
Speaker 3: keep Troy because he is that good on special teams?

700
00:31:10,440 --> 00:31:13,720
Speaker 3: That remains to be seen. But at least, and I'm

701
00:31:13,760 --> 00:31:16,800
Speaker 3: sure there's probably a fullback committee out there that watches

702
00:31:16,880 --> 00:31:18,920
Speaker 3: fullbacks that are like, yeah, at least you got not

703
00:31:19,080 --> 00:31:19,960
Speaker 3: just one, but you got two.

704
00:31:20,040 --> 00:31:21,400
Speaker 1: You have options at full back.

705
00:31:21,720 --> 00:31:21,920
Speaker 5: Yeah.

706
00:31:22,160 --> 00:31:25,360
Speaker 1: I like Harriston a lot. You know that chipplewa two.

707
00:31:25,760 --> 00:31:30,040
Speaker 1: I like that. But work with them, work with them

708
00:31:30,040 --> 00:31:32,200
Speaker 1: in the as a pass absolutely, you know, you see

709
00:31:32,240 --> 00:31:34,120
Speaker 1: the ability to do it, and I'm eager to see

710
00:31:34,160 --> 00:31:36,560
Speaker 1: what they can do with these players. All right, tight end,

711
00:31:37,240 --> 00:31:39,240
Speaker 1: Dalton Schultz has got to be the starter here, right,

712
00:31:39,720 --> 00:31:41,680
Speaker 1: He's got to be the starter here. Now, Look, I

713
00:31:41,720 --> 00:31:44,640
Speaker 1: love teaking Coutoriano, it's gonna be interesting as well, but

714
00:31:44,840 --> 00:31:49,000
Speaker 1: let's go with Dalton Schultz in there as the starter receivers.

715
00:31:49,080 --> 00:31:53,080
Speaker 1: This gets tougher. Now let's assume that Shei's healthy for

716
00:31:53,240 --> 00:31:55,920
Speaker 1: opening day again, way too early. Depth chart talk here

717
00:31:56,000 --> 00:32:01,400
Speaker 1: on Texans Radio, Nico gotta stay healthy as well, Robert

718
00:32:01,480 --> 00:32:04,400
Speaker 1: Woods side of the offseason, My gosh, Tank Dell, is

719
00:32:04,440 --> 00:32:07,800
Speaker 1: he gonna start or come in in certain packages? Man?

720
00:32:07,840 --> 00:32:10,840
Speaker 1: They got a lot to sift through here, Johnny, you're.

721
00:32:10,800 --> 00:32:14,760
Speaker 3: Right, And I think sometimes discussing tight ends and a vacuum,

722
00:32:14,800 --> 00:32:16,640
Speaker 3: wide receivers and a vacuum can be kind of tough.

723
00:32:16,640 --> 00:32:19,320
Speaker 3: I think I almost have to be talked about together.

724
00:32:19,720 --> 00:32:22,120
Speaker 3: You mentioned Dalton Schultz as a starter, and I think

725
00:32:22,160 --> 00:32:26,520
Speaker 3: that's true. But I do think, and this is my

726
00:32:26,640 --> 00:32:28,400
Speaker 3: question back to you, how much do you think they'll

727
00:32:28,440 --> 00:32:31,160
Speaker 3: be in twelve personnel where they've got Schultz and another

728
00:32:31,240 --> 00:32:33,360
Speaker 3: tight end on the field at the teagan I think

729
00:32:33,440 --> 00:32:36,400
Speaker 3: that's gonna be a deceled number. Yeah, so at that

730
00:32:36,520 --> 00:32:41,200
Speaker 3: point you're rolling with two tight ends, two wide receivers.

731
00:32:41,680 --> 00:32:45,080
Speaker 3: So at that point, and of course you said, I

732
00:32:45,160 --> 00:32:47,520
Speaker 3: think Tank ends up being a package guy at least

733
00:32:47,560 --> 00:32:49,720
Speaker 3: to the first half of the year. How many different

734
00:32:49,760 --> 00:32:53,200
Speaker 3: packages can we can we use him in? Get him

735
00:32:53,200 --> 00:32:54,920
Speaker 3: the football on some of them. He's a decoy on

736
00:32:55,000 --> 00:32:56,800
Speaker 3: some others. But I think he's more a package guy

737
00:32:57,560 --> 00:33:00,360
Speaker 3: early on, and then he grows into a full time role,

738
00:33:00,640 --> 00:33:03,320
Speaker 3: which is maybe just an extension of what he does

739
00:33:03,400 --> 00:33:08,960
Speaker 3: in those select packages. I'm curious how how they start with. Okay,

740
00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:11,280
Speaker 3: what are the two? So Noah Brown, Nico Collins, is

741
00:33:11,440 --> 00:33:12,960
Speaker 3: Robert Woods, Noah Brown?

742
00:33:13,400 --> 00:33:13,560
Speaker 5: Is it?

743
00:33:13,960 --> 00:33:14,080
Speaker 1: You know?

744
00:33:14,200 --> 00:33:18,400
Speaker 3: One of those receivers is I don't want to not

745
00:33:18,800 --> 00:33:21,080
Speaker 3: not to say they get cut, but I think one

746
00:33:21,120 --> 00:33:22,520
Speaker 3: of those receivers you kind of look at and go,

747
00:33:22,560 --> 00:33:24,680
Speaker 3: all right, one of these guys is not going to

748
00:33:24,760 --> 00:33:28,200
Speaker 3: fit in this mix for for whatever reason, because you're

749
00:33:28,240 --> 00:33:31,840
Speaker 3: probably gonna use more twelve personnel than maybe any any

750
00:33:31,960 --> 00:33:34,280
Speaker 3: look you probably have throughout the year.

751
00:33:34,360 --> 00:33:37,520
Speaker 1: So I'm curious to see how that really all goes together.

752
00:33:37,680 --> 00:33:41,160
Speaker 3: I would say day one, I would say Nico and

753
00:33:41,600 --> 00:33:44,400
Speaker 3: Robert to go with Tigan and Dalton. Like you'll go

754
00:33:44,520 --> 00:33:47,160
Speaker 3: two tights, two wides, you go Nico and Robert, and

755
00:33:47,240 --> 00:33:49,200
Speaker 3: you'll go Teagan and you go Dalton. On the inside,

756
00:33:49,240 --> 00:33:51,880
Speaker 3: those are the Those are the four plus running back

757
00:33:51,920 --> 00:33:54,440
Speaker 3: goes to the five eligible receivers you'll have on the

758
00:33:54,480 --> 00:33:56,280
Speaker 3: field at that point. So that's that's kind of how

759
00:33:56,320 --> 00:33:58,240
Speaker 3: I think they go with And I think that's not

760
00:33:58,320 --> 00:34:00,480
Speaker 3: a bad that's not a bad look. That's really not

761
00:34:00,560 --> 00:34:04,160
Speaker 3: a bad look as long as, like you said, Nico's healthy,

762
00:34:04,440 --> 00:34:08,840
Speaker 3: Teagans healthy from day one and through week eighteen of

763
00:34:08,880 --> 00:34:09,280
Speaker 3: the season.

764
00:34:09,360 --> 00:34:11,520
Speaker 1: They've got to be health health, and the tight end

765
00:34:11,560 --> 00:34:14,759
Speaker 1: group itself. Look, Brevin Jordan is still on this team, yep.

766
00:34:15,080 --> 00:34:18,319
Speaker 1: Under the radar signing of Eric Tomlinson, who is here

767
00:34:18,840 --> 00:34:21,719
Speaker 1: other places and back here now this is not to

768
00:34:21,800 --> 00:34:24,960
Speaker 1: be overlooked in my opinion. He's here for a reason.

769
00:34:25,360 --> 00:34:28,640
Speaker 1: Mason Shrek has shown some things in the brief time

770
00:34:28,760 --> 00:34:31,200
Speaker 1: he's been here, So this is gonna be fun to watch.

771
00:34:31,320 --> 00:34:34,880
Speaker 1: O line, Johnny, Look, we know who the four guys are,

772
00:34:35,320 --> 00:34:38,320
Speaker 1: tackle guard, tackle guard, I believe we do. Let's focus

773
00:34:38,400 --> 00:34:41,960
Speaker 1: on center here. You are Juice Scrugs drafted, Scott Questenberry,

774
00:34:42,840 --> 00:34:46,840
Speaker 1: and also Jimmy Morrissey who's still around, Jared Patterson drafted.

775
00:34:47,280 --> 00:34:50,280
Speaker 1: I've got some interesting options here at the center position.

776
00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:54,080
Speaker 1: Is this a wide open competition? Yes, I think so.

777
00:34:54,920 --> 00:34:58,000
Speaker 3: I think I think it absolutely is. And look, you've

778
00:34:58,040 --> 00:35:00,360
Speaker 3: got some guys that have got some starting experience. Obviously,

779
00:35:00,400 --> 00:35:04,120
Speaker 3: Scott Scotty started for ninety five percent of the year.

780
00:35:04,160 --> 00:35:05,560
Speaker 3: I think the only game he didn't start was Week

781
00:35:05,600 --> 00:35:09,680
Speaker 3: one against the Indianapolis Colts. Jimmy started in twenty twenty

782
00:35:09,719 --> 00:35:12,399
Speaker 3: one as a rookie and showed and did some good things.

783
00:35:13,120 --> 00:35:15,759
Speaker 3: Michael Dieter had a full year as a starter, and

784
00:35:15,760 --> 00:35:17,520
Speaker 3: I can't remember for his center of guard when he

785
00:35:17,640 --> 00:35:20,680
Speaker 3: was with the Dolphins, so he's got starting experience. And

786
00:35:20,760 --> 00:35:23,040
Speaker 3: then you bring in the two rookies that I would

787
00:35:23,080 --> 00:35:25,560
Speaker 3: imagine are hungry to jump right in and do some things.

788
00:35:25,600 --> 00:35:28,759
Speaker 3: And look, Juice scrugs when the second round. Going in

789
00:35:28,800 --> 00:35:31,160
Speaker 3: the second round doesn't mean you're an absolute starter, there's

790
00:35:31,200 --> 00:35:33,440
Speaker 3: no question. But going in the second round when you're

791
00:35:33,480 --> 00:35:36,320
Speaker 3: a top sixty two pick, boy, that's a lot of

792
00:35:36,400 --> 00:35:40,280
Speaker 3: confidence in a guy. And I going back and watching

793
00:35:40,400 --> 00:35:44,040
Speaker 3: more of Juice after the draft confirmed what I felt

794
00:35:44,160 --> 00:35:47,319
Speaker 3: like the last few days of draft prep for me, like, Okay,

795
00:35:47,400 --> 00:35:49,279
Speaker 3: this guy can really move, he's got some power. He

796
00:35:49,360 --> 00:35:51,279
Speaker 3: to twenty nine reps on a bench press. I'd be

797
00:35:51,360 --> 00:35:54,479
Speaker 3: really excited to see what you could do with Juice.

798
00:35:54,560 --> 00:35:56,880
Speaker 3: Here's my hang up and this is where I'm ye

799
00:35:58,560 --> 00:36:01,799
Speaker 3: if you start juice and CJ does in fact earn

800
00:36:01,880 --> 00:36:05,840
Speaker 3: a job, as we expect, you'll have rookie center, rookie quarterback,

801
00:36:06,880 --> 00:36:10,960
Speaker 3: rookie OC, rookie head coach. There's a lot of rookies,

802
00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:15,920
Speaker 3: which is it's not always a bad thing youth in

803
00:36:17,040 --> 00:36:20,520
Speaker 3: having to grow together. Grow yeah, growing together exactly, but

804
00:36:20,760 --> 00:36:23,960
Speaker 3: there are going to be growing pains with all of that.

805
00:36:24,440 --> 00:36:27,359
Speaker 3: You mentioned something about I can't remember this segment last week,

806
00:36:27,440 --> 00:36:30,400
Speaker 3: but somebody mentioned twenty twenty four, and that's the year

807
00:36:30,440 --> 00:36:32,560
Speaker 3: you look at and go, Okay, everybody's got years under

808
00:36:32,560 --> 00:36:36,080
Speaker 3: their belt meshing together, but we still have to go

809
00:36:36,160 --> 00:36:38,799
Speaker 3: through that kind of meshing process in twenty twenty three.

810
00:36:39,000 --> 00:36:41,239
Speaker 3: So it's a lot of rookies on the field at

811
00:36:41,280 --> 00:36:43,960
Speaker 3: that particular moment, even if you have a veteran though,

812
00:36:44,360 --> 00:36:47,040
Speaker 3: everybody's learning the offense at the same rate, you know

813
00:36:47,080 --> 00:36:48,520
Speaker 3: what I mean. It's not like somebody's been in this

814
00:36:48,600 --> 00:36:51,440
Speaker 3: offense for twelve years and they can kind of teach

815
00:36:51,480 --> 00:36:54,080
Speaker 3: to everybody. Everybody's new to this offense for the most part.

816
00:36:54,200 --> 00:36:56,120
Speaker 1: A lot to unpack there, all right, that was the

817
00:36:56,280 --> 00:37:00,319
Speaker 1: offensive way too early. Look at the depth chart up

818
00:37:00,800 --> 00:37:03,200
Speaker 1: A couple of things you brought up meshing together. I

819
00:37:03,280 --> 00:37:05,839
Speaker 1: want to hit on the Jaguars here for a moment,

820
00:37:05,880 --> 00:37:08,000
Speaker 1: because they're getting a lot of offseason love and they

821
00:37:08,120 --> 00:37:11,080
Speaker 1: probably should. But let's get into that. Also, who looked

822
00:37:11,080 --> 00:37:13,840
Speaker 1: good at the Texans Charity Golf Classic yesterday among the

823
00:37:13,880 --> 00:37:19,160
Speaker 1: football personnel. It's Texans Radio. So much to get to,

824
00:37:19,320 --> 00:37:21,759
Speaker 1: so a little time on Texans Radio, Mark Vandermer and

825
00:37:21,840 --> 00:37:24,000
Speaker 1: John Harris with you, all right, a couple of notes

826
00:37:24,040 --> 00:37:28,520
Speaker 1: about the Texans Charity Golf Classic yesterday, Johnny, Yeah, Nick Cassario, look,

827
00:37:28,600 --> 00:37:31,320
Speaker 1: I saw him warming up. I'm outing you, Nick, I

828
00:37:31,400 --> 00:37:34,279
Speaker 1: saw him warming up. And that's a sweet swing he has.

829
00:37:34,400 --> 00:37:37,000
Speaker 1: Really shouldn't be a surprise. I know he doesn't play

830
00:37:37,080 --> 00:37:40,439
Speaker 1: much at all, maybe once a year twice, hears former quarterback. Yeah,

831
00:37:40,600 --> 00:37:43,880
Speaker 1: these athletes, this is what upsets you, being the slightly

832
00:37:43,920 --> 00:37:46,719
Speaker 1: above average golfer that I am, when you're out there

833
00:37:46,800 --> 00:37:50,520
Speaker 1: with these athletes. Yeah, and they almost never play and

834
00:37:50,640 --> 00:37:52,960
Speaker 1: they have swings like that, and they it's not going

835
00:37:53,000 --> 00:37:56,600
Speaker 1: to be consistent. And I didn't see his round, but

836
00:37:56,680 --> 00:38:01,080
Speaker 1: his group one, okay, his group oh time. Yes. In fact,

837
00:38:01,160 --> 00:38:04,280
Speaker 1: Texans personnel did very well in this tournament. Keith Keenams

838
00:38:04,320 --> 00:38:06,840
Speaker 1: group won net or gross. I'm forgetting who won what,

839
00:38:07,280 --> 00:38:11,160
Speaker 1: but whatever. Apparently Case can hit the ball a mile. Yeah,

840
00:38:11,200 --> 00:38:14,799
Speaker 1: and no shocker there, right, Davis Mills, No shocker there.

841
00:38:15,160 --> 00:38:17,720
Speaker 1: He was up there, closest to the pan and longest

842
00:38:17,800 --> 00:38:18,800
Speaker 1: drive and all that stuff.

843
00:38:19,719 --> 00:38:19,960
Speaker 3: E J.

844
00:38:20,160 --> 00:38:23,839
Speaker 1: Perry, big surprise there another quarterback doing well. Of course,

845
00:38:23,920 --> 00:38:27,760
Speaker 1: you know, Kayami Fairbairn can hit the ball. He's probably

846
00:38:27,840 --> 00:38:30,359
Speaker 1: the best golfer on the on the team. But Nick

847
00:38:30,440 --> 00:38:34,240
Speaker 1: did well, and we have that ceremonial first putt, Nick Demico,

848
00:38:34,280 --> 00:38:38,279
Speaker 1: O Ryans and Cal McNair and Nick steps up, he's

849
00:38:38,360 --> 00:38:40,800
Speaker 1: first and he makes the putt and everybody saw this

850
00:38:40,920 --> 00:38:44,160
Speaker 1: on social very first putt, very first putt, ceremonial first

851
00:38:44,200 --> 00:38:46,160
Speaker 1: putt if you make it, ten extra grand from the

852
00:38:46,239 --> 00:38:49,960
Speaker 1: mcnairs to the Houston Texans Foundation, and boom. Nick made it.

853
00:38:50,080 --> 00:38:52,319
Speaker 1: So there was no drama, no Cal having to give

854
00:38:52,360 --> 00:38:56,239
Speaker 1: the money anyway because everybody missed the butt. So that

855
00:38:56,440 --> 00:38:59,040
Speaker 1: was kind of cool that he was able to do that.

856
00:38:59,200 --> 00:39:01,960
Speaker 1: And then his group did really well, and it's just

857
00:39:02,040 --> 00:39:03,719
Speaker 1: a lot of fun to see the players out there

858
00:39:03,800 --> 00:39:06,160
Speaker 1: raising money for a great cause. As they raised well

859
00:39:06,200 --> 00:39:08,759
Speaker 1: over four hundred thousand dollars. In fact, it was a

860
00:39:09,080 --> 00:39:12,440
Speaker 1: franchise record for the Houston Texans Charity Golf Classic, the

861
00:39:12,560 --> 00:39:16,600
Speaker 1: twentieth annual, and I played in all of them, and

862
00:39:16,680 --> 00:39:19,120
Speaker 1: the very first one. I believe David Carr's group wanted.

863
00:39:19,160 --> 00:39:20,560
Speaker 1: He was a tremendous golfer as well.

864
00:39:20,600 --> 00:39:24,239
Speaker 3: Again, quarterbacks man's I would be worried if Nick were

865
00:39:24,880 --> 00:39:26,600
Speaker 3: in even better golfer than he is.

866
00:39:26,920 --> 00:39:29,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, you don't want all right, So here's a concern.

867
00:39:29,160 --> 00:39:31,719
Speaker 1: If you're worried about people being too good at golf,

868
00:39:32,239 --> 00:39:35,120
Speaker 1: here's a concern. I'm just joking around here. Coach Slowick,

869
00:39:35,280 --> 00:39:40,239
Speaker 1: Bobby Slowick, offensive coordinator, has a swing like Byron Nelson. Okay,

870
00:39:40,320 --> 00:39:43,680
Speaker 1: it's just this pure old school looking not old, but

871
00:39:43,920 --> 00:39:47,920
Speaker 1: just that kind of smooth classic classic. That's a good word, Johnny,

872
00:39:48,239 --> 00:39:51,840
Speaker 1: golf swing. And look, he comes from a tremendously athletic family.

873
00:39:51,920 --> 00:39:55,520
Speaker 1: He's a great athlete himself. I just, Johnny, you mentioned

874
00:39:55,520 --> 00:39:57,480
Speaker 1: it in the last segment. You know you got rookie coach,

875
00:39:57,600 --> 00:40:01,480
Speaker 1: Ricky oc rookie center, possibly Ricky quarterback possibly all that.

876
00:40:02,840 --> 00:40:04,759
Speaker 1: Is it wrong that I'm not worried about any of that,

877
00:40:05,400 --> 00:40:09,680
Speaker 1: especially Demico and Slow they've been around, and Demiko's observed.

878
00:40:10,200 --> 00:40:12,480
Speaker 1: So I was thinking about this this morning. So many

879
00:40:12,560 --> 00:40:16,239
Speaker 1: training camps, how to structure them as a player, as

880
00:40:16,320 --> 00:40:19,680
Speaker 1: a coach, He's seen it all. I would be shocked

881
00:40:19,680 --> 00:40:22,080
Speaker 1: if he doesn't have the best possible structure here. He's

882
00:40:22,160 --> 00:40:25,680
Speaker 1: lived through the heat here, he's lift through the facilities,

883
00:40:26,200 --> 00:40:29,200
Speaker 1: and he's lived through other organizations. He'll be okay with

884
00:40:29,480 --> 00:40:32,360
Speaker 1: organizing the team and coaching the team. And I think Slowik,

885
00:40:32,440 --> 00:40:34,440
Speaker 1: as smart as he is, is going to put together

886
00:40:34,600 --> 00:40:36,200
Speaker 1: a nice offensive game plan.

887
00:40:36,400 --> 00:40:39,160
Speaker 3: I don't have, actually any I was just bringing it up. No,

888
00:40:39,400 --> 00:40:41,480
Speaker 3: it's a good thing to bring it. I do think

889
00:40:41,600 --> 00:40:43,800
Speaker 3: experience does help you. And I of course just go

890
00:40:43,880 --> 00:40:46,520
Speaker 3: back to my own experience of once I got through

891
00:40:46,560 --> 00:40:49,160
Speaker 3: the first year and I realized the things I didn't do,

892
00:40:49,400 --> 00:40:51,480
Speaker 3: and I'm like, man, what was I thinking? I think

893
00:40:51,520 --> 00:40:54,080
Speaker 3: they'll have that same kind of thought, how could you process?

894
00:40:54,360 --> 00:40:56,560
Speaker 3: But they'll all be together doing it, and I think

895
00:40:56,640 --> 00:40:59,080
Speaker 3: that's they can kind of lean on one another too,

896
00:41:00,280 --> 00:41:02,200
Speaker 3: And I think that's that's gonna be helpful. But it's

897
00:41:02,239 --> 00:41:05,839
Speaker 3: not like they're going in never having coached before, right,

898
00:41:06,160 --> 00:41:08,799
Speaker 3: They've never gone in not having ever played.

899
00:41:08,520 --> 00:41:09,400
Speaker 1: The game before.

900
00:41:09,560 --> 00:41:11,239
Speaker 3: I mean, if they've done all that, it's just you're

901
00:41:11,280 --> 00:41:13,640
Speaker 3: now doing at a at a much higher level at

902
00:41:13,680 --> 00:41:17,239
Speaker 3: the NFL. So okay, So you adapt and you help

903
00:41:17,280 --> 00:41:19,360
Speaker 3: each other, and you go through it together, and you

904
00:41:19,520 --> 00:41:23,879
Speaker 3: realize together what you don't know or what you need

905
00:41:24,000 --> 00:41:27,960
Speaker 3: to learn, and it's gonna get better week in and

906
00:41:28,040 --> 00:41:31,040
Speaker 3: week out. I'd listen, I'd much rather have a bunch

907
00:41:31,080 --> 00:41:33,400
Speaker 3: of rookies in that situation and a bunch of talented

908
00:41:33,480 --> 00:41:34,440
Speaker 3: rookies in that situation.

909
00:41:34,920 --> 00:41:37,200
Speaker 1: Then I would a bunch of experience and no talent.

910
00:41:37,719 --> 00:41:42,239
Speaker 1: Oh gosh, something every day, somebody's asked me yesterday Slowick's

911
00:41:42,560 --> 00:41:45,080
Speaker 1: desire to take this job versus being in San Francisco,

912
00:41:45,200 --> 00:41:47,480
Speaker 1: maybe being OC there or something. And I've said, well,

913
00:41:48,120 --> 00:41:50,799
Speaker 1: in San Francisco, Kyle Shanahan's an offensive coach. He's gonna

914
00:41:50,840 --> 00:41:53,480
Speaker 1: coach the offense, right, Bobby Slowe's gonna run the show

915
00:41:53,520 --> 00:41:56,040
Speaker 1: here on offense with Domico's input, of course, and that's

916
00:41:56,080 --> 00:41:57,960
Speaker 1: what you want. But he's got control of the offense.

917
00:41:58,080 --> 00:42:00,839
Speaker 3: That's what you wanta as a play call an offensive coach,

918
00:42:01,000 --> 00:42:01,719
Speaker 3: that's what you want.

919
00:42:01,760 --> 00:42:03,640
Speaker 1: Look, draw Johnson, I guarantee you.

920
00:42:03,719 --> 00:42:06,160
Speaker 3: Drod wants that at some point, no out right now,

921
00:42:06,520 --> 00:42:08,239
Speaker 3: learn how to be a quarterbacks coach for this team

922
00:42:08,320 --> 00:42:11,400
Speaker 3: right now. But every every offensive minded guy wants that,

923
00:42:11,480 --> 00:42:13,719
Speaker 3: every defensive minded guy wants to be able to run

924
00:42:13,800 --> 00:42:16,840
Speaker 3: the show. They want to be in charge. So the

925
00:42:17,000 --> 00:42:21,080
Speaker 3: title doesn't really mean anything. What matters is having control,

926
00:42:21,640 --> 00:42:24,080
Speaker 3: calling it the way that you see it with obviously

927
00:42:24,160 --> 00:42:26,120
Speaker 3: a staff around you that can help you. But in

928
00:42:26,160 --> 00:42:27,920

933
00:42:37,719 --> 00:42:41,480
Speaker 1: it took, it didn't work out. Back to coordinator happy

934
00:42:41,960 --> 00:42:43,640
Speaker 1: because you don't have to deal with all the head

935

Speaker 1: coach stuff. And it's really more like pure coaching, isn't
