Speaker 1: host this evening, John Harris Football anlst's Sad Aloud, a reporter,

4
00:00:08,720 --> 00:00:10,639
Speaker 1: Glad to be with you on a well, it's a

5
00:00:10,680 --> 00:00:12,480
Speaker 1: special day around the building. And I bring in the

6
00:00:12,680 --> 00:00:15,760
Speaker 1: Voice of the Texans, Mark vandermir to join me. Mark,

7
00:00:15,760 --> 00:00:17,680
Speaker 1: how are you wait? Is it special because Disney on

8
00:00:17,760 --> 00:00:20,680
Speaker 1: Ice is leaving the stadium? Is that what makes it special? Oh?

9
00:00:20,720 --> 00:00:22,680
Speaker 1: That's not what makes it special. Did see Disney on Ice?

10
00:00:22,760 --> 00:00:24,640
Speaker 1: Good for you, Good for all of you out there

11
00:00:24,680 --> 00:00:26,320
Speaker 1: that did get a chance to see it. I'm happy

12
00:00:26,360 --> 00:00:28,480
Speaker 1: for you. I did not see it. I saw it

13
00:00:28,520 --> 00:00:31,840
Speaker 1: with my oldest son once and when they had the

14
00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:34,800
Speaker 1: toy story characters. Oh yeah, but he was disappointed because

15
00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:37,880
Speaker 1: like buzz Lightyear didn't quite look like Buzz Lightyear, and

16
00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:41,120
Speaker 1: Woody didn't quite look like Woody. I think he expected more.

17
00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:43,239
Speaker 1: I think it's more. I hate to say it like this,

18
00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:45,600
Speaker 1: it's more like a chick thing a little bit. Because

19
00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:47,400
Speaker 1: they have the princesses and stuff. I don't know what

20
00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:49,080
Speaker 1: they did this year. Don't they do like a Disney

21
00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:50,879
Speaker 1: princess is on ice sort of thing. I mean that

22
00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:53,680
Speaker 1: is like the super Bowl for little girls. I mean

23
00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:57,080
Speaker 1: that that is the level of excitement for that. Listen,

24
00:00:57,240 --> 00:01:00,440
Speaker 1: playoff Fever. Let me tell you. If you are a

25
00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:03,920
Speaker 1: father and my buddy Dustin out there, well he knows

26
00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:06,200
Speaker 1: he and I have been on this train. You know

27
00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:10,480
Speaker 1: what's worse. What's a worse cults and Disney princesses. What

28
00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:14,040
Speaker 1: you never want to get caught in? What American girl dolls.

29
00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:16,960
Speaker 1: Oh I've heard about this. I've heard all about this

30
00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:19,920
Speaker 1: the worst. Don't have a daughter, so I'm not that.

31
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:24,360
Speaker 1: Oh goodness. Luckily, my daughter was pretty level headed. And

32
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:26,360
Speaker 1: I will tell you this, one of the greatest things

33
00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:29,160
Speaker 1: my kids ever did for me was it was unbelievable.

34
00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:33,200
Speaker 1: My daughter sold all for American girl dolls, and my

35
00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:36,880
Speaker 1: son sold some of his items to get me an

36
00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:42,000
Speaker 1: iPad mini iPad, so very very cool. My daughter got

37
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:44,800
Speaker 1: out of that American girl doll face quickly. But if

38
00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:48,040
Speaker 1: you've ever been to a mall where you see American

39
00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:51,000
Speaker 1: girl dolls, yeah, it's a Fever store. Like you said,

40
00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:53,320
Speaker 1: I've walked by and I've seen little boys in there.

41
00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:56,760
Speaker 1: It's the funniest thing I've ever seen. You just seem

42
00:01:56,840 --> 00:01:59,280
Speaker 1: like I can't believe I'm in here, Like, wait till

43
00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:01,640
Speaker 1: you have a daughter, Wait till you have a daughter.

44
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:03,440
Speaker 1: The build a Bear thing is pretty strong with the

45
00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:05,800
Speaker 1: even younger kids. That's pretty strong. That's a good one.

46
00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:08,880
Speaker 1: We still have Darth Vader bears somewhere, so that's somewhere. No.

47
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:11,960
Speaker 1: I said it was special because players are back. They

48
00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:14,160
Speaker 1: are back, Johnny, and it's hard not to notice them.

49
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:17,320
Speaker 1: You know. I'm in the cafeteria today and I saw Whitney,

50
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:19,600
Speaker 1: and I saw John Weeks, and I saw I mean,

51
00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:22,400
Speaker 1: you name it. They were all there, and I don't know, Look,

52
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:24,880
Speaker 1: maybe reports are coming out that somebody didn't show up.

53
00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:26,760
Speaker 1: I don't know, but I just saw so many guys

54
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:29,160
Speaker 1: today and they all looked really happy to be here.

55
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:30,360
Speaker 1: You know, it's not like they're going to get to

56
00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:33,600
Speaker 1: play football anytime soon. They're conditioning, but I think they

57
00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:36,440
Speaker 1: love being together. And I'll put it like this, they

58
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:40,440
Speaker 1: want to be here because what's the thing. The one

59
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:43,080
Speaker 1: thing that all the retired players say that they miss

60
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:45,800
Speaker 1: more than they think. The camaraderie, the guys in the

61
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:49,240
Speaker 1: locker room. That's what you miss. So they've been away

62
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:51,799
Speaker 1: from that for a number of months now and they're

63
00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:54,440
Speaker 1: finally back together. They want to be together, they want

64
00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:56,120
Speaker 1: to hang out together, they want to have somewhere to

65
00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:58,600
Speaker 1: go during the day. Everybody wants purpose. That's why it's

66
00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:00,840
Speaker 1: so tough to be unemployed. Other than the well, the

67
00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:03,080
Speaker 1: hardest thing is obviously the lack of money coming in,

68
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:06,000
Speaker 1: but also just the lack of purpose, the lack of

69
00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:08,840
Speaker 1: I go in every day and I do something. And

70
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:11,400
Speaker 1: these guys, even though yeah, they needed a break, it

71
00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:14,280
Speaker 1: was a much needed break after the season, they want

72
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:15,840
Speaker 1: to come back. They want to be part of it.

73
00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:17,520
Speaker 1: They want to start the season. They want to start

74
00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:19,519
Speaker 1: the process any way of getting ready for the season.

75
00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:21,959
Speaker 1: And there's such creatures of habit too. I mean, in

76
00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:24,440
Speaker 1: the fall, there's such a rhythm to their life and

77
00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:26,240
Speaker 1: they're so used to it. It's okay, we go to

78
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:31,480
Speaker 1: training camp and then preseason games, and then every Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday,

79
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:33,959
Speaker 1: Sunday for the next time many every weeks, they knew

80
00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:37,000
Speaker 1: exactly what they're doing on those particular days. To be

81
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:38,920
Speaker 1: a creature of habit, to be an NFL players, to

82
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:40,360
Speaker 1: be a creature of habit and then all of a

83
00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:44,080
Speaker 1: sudden scenes over. I see, you got the bargaining agreement

84
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:46,120
Speaker 1: says you can't have them around the building. Now. If

85
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:48,640
Speaker 1: you guys are rehabbing, that's a different story. Can come

86
00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:50,080
Speaker 1: in and work out, I think, if they want, but

87
00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:53,400
Speaker 1: they can't do certain football like things with the coaches whatever.

88
00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:55,960
Speaker 1: And it's a little strange, you know. They just come

89
00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:58,840
Speaker 1: in every day if no one's around. One of the

90
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:01,480
Speaker 1: things that I thought about and I think about on

91
00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:03,280
Speaker 1: this day, and you you sort of brought it up.

92
00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:06,720
Speaker 1: It's the camaraderie talking to former players. It's the one

93
00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:09,040
Speaker 1: thing that they missed as a former coach is the

94
00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:11,120
Speaker 1: one thing that I know I miss. I know, I

95
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:13,040
Speaker 1: always look forward to the players being back in the building.

96
00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:15,600
Speaker 1: I was going down to get lunch earlier this afternoon,

97
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:19,000
Speaker 1: and I happened to be walking in, walking to the

98
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:21,640
Speaker 1: door as the DBS were getting out of a meeting.

99
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:23,919
Speaker 1: They were all grouped together, and it was so Andre

100
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:27,000
Speaker 1: Howe and I saw Creem Jackson. You know, I haven't

101
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:29,320
Speaker 1: seen him in weeks, you know, and it was just

102
00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:30,800
Speaker 1: so cool to see him. And so it's like that

103
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:34,800
Speaker 1: first day of school sort of thing. But when I

104
00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:38,240
Speaker 1: remember you and I were talking Sunday morning of the

105
00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:42,120
Speaker 1: Cardinals game, and that was Andre Johnson Day, and that

106
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:44,719
Speaker 1: it was either Friday night or Saturday night. There was

107
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:49,600
Speaker 1: a huge get together, yeah, of all of Andrea's teammates.

108
00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:51,920
Speaker 1: And obviously you've called every single game, plus you have

109
00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:53,839
Speaker 1: the connection with Andre going back to Miami. But the

110
00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:56,920
Speaker 1: one thing I remember you telling me was how cool

111
00:04:56,960 --> 00:04:59,880
Speaker 1: it felt to be part of sort of the reunion.

112
00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:02,400
Speaker 1: And when you get players like that together. I know,

113
00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:06,080
Speaker 1: we get together our teammates Brown University. We get together

114
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:08,640
Speaker 1: for the first game every year. Well it's been a

115
00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:10,080
Speaker 1: home game, so it would be the first home game

116
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:12,159
Speaker 1: each year, and it will be again. I believe I

117
00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:14,680
Speaker 1: have feeling it will be, and we all get together.

118
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:18,200
Speaker 1: You know, we don't talk about the games. We don't

119
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:22,360
Speaker 1: talk about Hey remember when we beat Harvard? Remember when

120
00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:27,240
Speaker 1: we beat this team? Never comes up. It never comes up.

121
00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:30,360
Speaker 1: We talk about Hey man, you remember when this happened

122
00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:32,279
Speaker 1: in the locker room, or you remember when those two

123
00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:34,880
Speaker 1: guys did this, or remember when I remember when we

124
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:37,360
Speaker 1: went to lunch and we got embarrassed by this. You

125
00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:40,080
Speaker 1: don't don't remember. You don't talk about the games. You

126
00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:42,720
Speaker 1: don't talk about the results, and we weren't very good,

127
00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:45,640
Speaker 1: but you don't talk about any of that. Just talk

128
00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:48,520
Speaker 1: about what you guys did. Maybe there's some things that

129
00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:50,559
Speaker 1: happened on the sidelines that you remember that are funny,

130
00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:52,560
Speaker 1: but you don't talk about all that. It's not the

131
00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:56,000
Speaker 1: winning and the losing. Isn't that weird? Never strange, you

132
00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:58,400
Speaker 1: would never think that. But look as fans, and I

133
00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:00,080
Speaker 1: know a lot of the fans listening don't want to

134
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:02,159
Speaker 1: hear that part of it, But we're just giving you

135
00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:05,480
Speaker 1: a glimpse into their lives. Now. Obviously it's professional football.

136
00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:07,359
Speaker 1: You don't win, you go, especially if you're a coach.

137
00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:10,520
Speaker 1: Speaking about the coaches, though, Johnny, in this context, the

138
00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:13,760
Speaker 1: players come back today, the coaches are walking on air

139
00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:16,120
Speaker 1: about this. You know, Anthony Weavers said to me, man,

140
00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:18,320
Speaker 1: the day's just got a lot better, or something of

141
00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:21,440
Speaker 1: that nature, because he gets to coach players. And Bill

142
00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:24,200
Speaker 1: O'Brien always talks about that. Coaches got a coach. They

143
00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:26,600
Speaker 1: want to be around your guys. Even if you can't

144
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:28,520
Speaker 1: take them on the football field and throw the rock

145
00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:30,920
Speaker 1: right now, you can go into the meetings. You can

146
00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:33,560
Speaker 1: talk to them about football. Finally you can talk to

147
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:38,400
Speaker 1: Watson finally legally about football. They love this, They love

148
00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:40,520
Speaker 1: being around their players. I mean, this is what their

149
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:44,360
Speaker 1: purpose is. Do you think and I think it was

150
00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:46,520
Speaker 1: a ten year CBA when they signed it, if I

151
00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:50,760
Speaker 1: remember correct, Yes, do you think they'll change the CBA

152
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:54,200
Speaker 1: to allow that time frame to at least let the coaches.

153
00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:58,240
Speaker 1: I don't know whether it's run a three day weekend

154
00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:02,400
Speaker 1: with their players or just any kind of cerebral chalk

155
00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:03,960
Speaker 1: talk or anything like that. Do you think the CB

156
00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:06,640
Speaker 1: the new CBA will allow that. You know, the funny

157
00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:09,279
Speaker 1: thing about this game, John, One of the funny things,

158
00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:11,360
Speaker 1: and I mean funny, strange, is that we talk about

159
00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:14,240
Speaker 1: players safety and everything, and a lot of the veterans,

160
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:16,440
Speaker 1: a lot of the old timers agree that the game's

161
00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:18,280
Speaker 1: got to get safer. But at the same time, and

162
00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:21,600
Speaker 1: I'm talking old time media guys too, observers and participants,

163
00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:25,840
Speaker 1: they lament the lack of hitting, the lack of contact

164
00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:29,040
Speaker 1: and practice which is kind of a hindrance, and the

165
00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:32,160
Speaker 1: offensive line developing properly. You know what did we talk

166
00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:34,960
Speaker 1: about last year in the last few years, Well, it

167
00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:37,400
Speaker 1: takes a few weeks of the regular season for the

168
00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:39,880
Speaker 1: offensive line to really get on any team to really

169
00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:43,040
Speaker 1: get cranked up, because they got to work in concert

170
00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:45,480
Speaker 1: and they got to have that contact in order to

171
00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:48,600
Speaker 1: get better. Used to be, you know, back in the day,

172
00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:52,119
Speaker 1: you had six weeks of preseason games and training camp

173
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:54,440
Speaker 1: in San Angelo and bumming the boys and all that,

174
00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:57,160
Speaker 1: and you're going out there and you're in pads maybe

175
00:07:57,200 --> 00:08:00,560
Speaker 1: two times a day, and that's a not a great

176
00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:02,760
Speaker 1: contact practice. I'm not saying we got to go back

177
00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:05,240
Speaker 1: to that, because clearly that's aware and tear that a

178
00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:07,400
Speaker 1: lot of guys don't want. Yet some of the same

179
00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:10,360
Speaker 1: people complain that that's why the game quote isn't as

180
00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:12,720
Speaker 1: good today. So I don't know if the game isn't

181
00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:15,440
Speaker 1: as good today. I think the game is it as physical.

182
00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:18,840
Speaker 1: In some ways, it's more physical because guys are bigger, stronger, faster.

183
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:20,280
Speaker 1: And I don't want to get into a big debate

184
00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:22,360
Speaker 1: about this right now, but in answer to your question

185
00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:24,720
Speaker 1: or thought there, I don't think we're going in that

186
00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:28,040
Speaker 1: direction of allowing more contact between players and coaches for

187
00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:31,640
Speaker 1: this reason. If you open that up, then all of

188
00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:33,640
Speaker 1: a sudden, there's gonna be a pressure on the players

189
00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:36,920
Speaker 1: to participate that maybe they don't want to have on

190
00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:39,439
Speaker 1: them right now as a union, you know what I mean.

191
00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:43,440
Speaker 1: But maybe some of the same guys would say, geez,

192
00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:45,839
Speaker 1: can we at least work out at the facility. Can

193
00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:49,240
Speaker 1: we throw the ball in July out on the Houston

194
00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:52,360
Speaker 1: Methodist Training Center fields so we can just get better

195
00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:55,040
Speaker 1: together and we'll do it on supervised. You know, there's

196
00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:56,920
Speaker 1: some rules that just don't make a lot of sense

197
00:08:56,920 --> 00:08:58,959
Speaker 1: that I expect those to be straightened out. Yeah, I

198
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:01,320
Speaker 1: agree with you on that. I mean, that's a perfect

199
00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:03,960
Speaker 1: example right there. If you're gonna throw the ball around,

200
00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:06,600
Speaker 1: Deshan and the guys are gonna go throw the ball around,

201
00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:09,200
Speaker 1: at some point, you gotta go do it somewhere else.

202
00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:12,360
Speaker 1: That's that's the fresh I think they worry about liability though,

203
00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:14,560
Speaker 1: because then it's a non football injury. If I get

204
00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:17,680
Speaker 1: hurt it rice, it's a I believe this is the case,

205
00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:19,520
Speaker 1: right It's a non football injury even though I was

206
00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:22,840
Speaker 1: practicing football. If I get hurt at the facility and

207
00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:25,240
Speaker 1: I'm running a route and Deshan throws it to me

208
00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:27,400
Speaker 1: and I trip over myself and I hurt myself or

209
00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:30,960
Speaker 1: whatever happens now it's on the team liability wise, so

210
00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:32,400
Speaker 1: maybe that has a lot to do with it. They

211
00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:34,840
Speaker 1: got to figure that part out. Yeah, and it's difficult.

212
00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:37,920
Speaker 1: I know Bill Obroun has talked about that. The other

213
00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:39,719
Speaker 1: piece of news that came out today. I don't know

214
00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:42,240
Speaker 1: if you had a chance to see this market it's one.

215
00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:46,559
Speaker 1: It's one question. It's funny because my wife and my daughter.

216
00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:49,800
Speaker 1: My wife has picked things up over the years, and

217
00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:51,679
Speaker 1: as I watch a game with her, you know, we'll

218
00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:53,720
Speaker 1: play a Thursday night game. Sometimes we'll be there on

219
00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:56,320
Speaker 1: Sunday or there's a Monday games on we'll watch it together.

220
00:09:57,400 --> 00:09:59,319
Speaker 1: Every so often my wife will just ask me a

221
00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:02,240
Speaker 1: question out of the blue, and I'll think, wait, that's

222
00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:05,199
Speaker 1: a really good question. And she asked really good questions.

223
00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:07,079
Speaker 1: And it was so funny because it was actually my

224
00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:08,600
Speaker 1: daughter who came up with this one. But my daughter

225
00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:10,959
Speaker 1: and my wife had been talking about this. They said,

226
00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:15,640
Speaker 1: why do NFL players all wear the same helmet? And

227
00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:19,000
Speaker 1: I said no, I said, it's it's a lot like

228
00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:22,000
Speaker 1: wearing clothing. You're gonna wear things that you're comfortable in,

229
00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:24,800
Speaker 1: and that even goes for the helmet. And my daughter

230
00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:27,520
Speaker 1: just said, I don't understand that that all this talk about,

231
00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:29,319
Speaker 1: you know, concussions, why don't they all just wear the

232
00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:32,600
Speaker 1: same helmet. Helmet daughters smarter than most football players. Well,

233
00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:35,200
Speaker 1: apparently the NFL must have been listening, because the NFL

234
00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:37,640
Speaker 1: has gone in and news came out today. I think

235
00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:39,160
Speaker 1: it was James Palmer the first one that I saw

236
00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:42,560
Speaker 1: have with this news that the NFL is essentially eliminating

237
00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:47,360
Speaker 1: ten styles of helmets that had been worn throughout the

238
00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:52,720
Speaker 1: NFL in twenty seventeen. Six of them they're immediately done. Ye,

239
00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:56,920
Speaker 1: you're out four helmets for styles of helmets. They're gonna

240
00:10:56,920 --> 00:10:59,720
Speaker 1: allow players one more year in twenty seventeen, but you

241
00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:02,480
Speaker 1: had to have worn it before and then includes Drew

242
00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:05,080
Speaker 1: Brees and Tom Brady in that group. And that just

243
00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:06,679
Speaker 1: goes to show when you wear a helmet and you're

244
00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:08,559
Speaker 1: used to it, it's that the easiest thing in the

245
00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:10,360
Speaker 1: world to wear a football helmet, and so once you

246
00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:12,199
Speaker 1: have one that you're used to wearing, you want to

247
00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:14,320
Speaker 1: keep wearing it. And that's why a lot of guys

248
00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:16,559
Speaker 1: continue with the same helmet year after year after year

249
00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:19,920
Speaker 1: for that reason. But the NFL stepped in and said, nope,

250
00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:23,280
Speaker 1: we're eliminating these ten helmets we're going forward, and it

251
00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:25,839
Speaker 1: just seems like it makes total sense to do something

252
00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:27,640
Speaker 1: like that. I'll take you behind the curt a little

253
00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:30,160
Speaker 1: bit of the owners meetings. I had the privilege of

254
00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:32,400
Speaker 1: being in one of these sessions where they said, guys

255
00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:35,000
Speaker 1: don't always choose the safest helmet, all right, so what

256
00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:36,959
Speaker 1: are they supposed to do about that? Now this is

257
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:39,240
Speaker 1: me talking about them. They didn't voice it that way,

258
00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:41,120
Speaker 1: but here I am saying, what are they supposed to

259
00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:43,040
Speaker 1: do about that? When you know you have all these

260
00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:46,319
Speaker 1: lawsuits and people complaining in media, complaining and oh, you're

261
00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:50,079
Speaker 1: not protecting Well, sometimes the players themselves don't pick the

262
00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:54,200
Speaker 1: safest possible helmet for themselves, so maybe the league's helping

263
00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:56,240
Speaker 1: them decide. Now, hey, if this is all going to

264
00:11:56,320 --> 00:11:58,120
Speaker 1: come back on us, is if it's for the safety

265
00:11:58,160 --> 00:11:59,839
Speaker 1: of the game, and again this is me talking about that,

266
00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:04,040
Speaker 1: then we're gonna make sure that they are legally required

267
00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:07,959
Speaker 1: to where the safest possible helmets. They brought up college football, which,

268
00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:10,280
Speaker 1: as you know, you have a different helmet every week

269
00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:12,080
Speaker 1: on some of these schools. Some schools have up to

270
00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:15,640
Speaker 1: nine different helmets, which I can never understand, And that's

271
00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:19,600
Speaker 1: just pure fashion, pure fashion recruiting. We want to be snazzy.

272
00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:23,680
Speaker 1: But guess what you cannot afford as a school the

273
00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:27,920
Speaker 1: safest possible helmet in nine different paint jobs, if you will.

274
00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:31,600
Speaker 1: And maybe that'll prevent some schools from like, you know,

275
00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:34,199
Speaker 1: I'm thinking of all the schools that go nuts Oregon

276
00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:36,520
Speaker 1: in Maryland. You know, you'd think Oregon has enough money

277
00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:38,440
Speaker 1: to do whatever the heck they want with helmets, but

278
00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:40,880
Speaker 1: apparently that's not the case. And look the Texans on

279
00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:43,280
Speaker 1: battle Red Day, they don't do a red helmet. You

280
00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:46,240
Speaker 1: know a lot of NFL. NFL teams do not change

281
00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:49,760
Speaker 1: the helmets on those particular alternate jersey days. Now the

282
00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:52,480
Speaker 1: Patriots have throwbacks. We don't have throwbacks here. So right

283
00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:56,679
Speaker 1: someday I'll still two helmets. That's two helmets. But still

284
00:12:56,880 --> 00:13:00,360
Speaker 1: I remember where helmets all like break breaking it glove.

285
00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:02,679
Speaker 1: It took a while I get that thing right in

286
00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:04,120
Speaker 1: and then you got it where you want it and

287
00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:06,600
Speaker 1: then you're I mean back in the in the day,

288
00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:09,200
Speaker 1: you would just pound like, oh my goodness, my head

289
00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:11,840
Speaker 1: the first few days you put on, and then you

290
00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:13,520
Speaker 1: got used to it. Then you were Okay, So that's

291
00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:15,520
Speaker 1: that's part of training camp, isn't it. And that's what

292
00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:17,640
Speaker 1: they say about putting on the pads too, right, You

293
00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:19,760
Speaker 1: have to sort of get your body those those pressure

294
00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:23,760
Speaker 1: points used, no doubt. I mean, I mean pads. Michael

295
00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:26,400
Speaker 1: Bennett his shoulder pads, they don't cover all. I mean

296
00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:28,800
Speaker 1: they do the things that guys are wearing. And to

297
00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:30,600
Speaker 1: your point, people would say, well, why where are they

298
00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:33,120
Speaker 1: picking my helmet? That's not safe. Yeah, a lot of

299
00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:36,839
Speaker 1: guys are doing it just for vanity reasons because it

300
00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:39,200
Speaker 1: looks better. Well, like you said, clothing, you wear it

301
00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:42,439
Speaker 1: to feel comfortable. I know that sometimes you don't always

302
00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:44,400
Speaker 1: wear the right thing outside on a cold day or

303
00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:46,600
Speaker 1: a hot day to keep yourself cool or whatever the

304
00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:48,600
Speaker 1: case may be. The look like a fool out there.

305
00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:50,960
Speaker 1: What about the shoulder pads, though, Johnny, Because even like

306
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:54,040
Speaker 1: our good buddy Andre War, when I look at shots

307
00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:56,960
Speaker 1: of him playing in eighty nine, he's got two coffee

308
00:13:56,960 --> 00:14:00,000
Speaker 1: tables on his shoulder. I'm like, you get served drinks.

309
00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:03,920
Speaker 1: Those things That's what they all wore back then. Yep,

310
00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:07,640
Speaker 1: not anymore, not anymore. The game has changed, and obviously

311
00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:09,880
Speaker 1: the NFL is catch up a little bit, at least

312
00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:12,440
Speaker 1: as it pretends to Helmets. Mark appreciate, stop back, Thank you.

313
00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:15,280
Speaker 1: John Mark mentioned game one of the season. Is it

314
00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:17,160
Speaker 1: gonna be at home? Hopefully it is. I'll talk with

315
00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:19,760

320
00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:36,080
Speaker 1: saw us on Texas three sixty this past Saturday night together,

321
00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:40,240
Speaker 1: see him on Dear Drew. You can read a written

322
00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:43,160
Speaker 1: version of Dear Drew. The Leftovers? Was that what you

323
00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:45,800
Speaker 1: call it? It's called the leftovers? Now? Really? Because like

324
00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:48,680
Speaker 1: I answered about three questions video wise and then answer

325
00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:51,480
Speaker 1: about seven or eight. What would be the right sponsor

326
00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:57,080
Speaker 1: for leftovers? Probably some sort of restaurant, Yeah, be pretty good,

327
00:14:57,240 --> 00:14:59,960
Speaker 1: or maybe like a ziplock container of some sort. It's good,

328
00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:03,280
Speaker 1: it's good too, bus a container of some sort. Drew

329
00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:05,560
Speaker 1: schedules coming out this week. Can't wait. I don't know

330
00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:07,720
Speaker 1: if we're gonna get a chance to talk about what

331
00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:11,520
Speaker 1: is what's upcoming? So we gotta in some sense, we

332
00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:14,960
Speaker 1: have to get on the board with our predictions of

333
00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:17,800
Speaker 1: a few things. First of all, we know who the

334
00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:21,920
Speaker 1: Texans will play, right, we know where they will play.

335
00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:24,800
Speaker 1: The most important thing is we just don't know when

336
00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:30,480
Speaker 1: that ends up being key because it's primetime games. When

337
00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:33,400
Speaker 1: do you play on Sun? You play on Christmas Day? Again?

338
00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:34,880
Speaker 1: That one. I don't think I will happen for a

339
00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:39,720
Speaker 1: while out of that for a little bit, so that'll

340
00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:43,200
Speaker 1: be good. So marriages are safe. Not gonna play on Thanksgiving? No,

341
00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:45,600
Speaker 1: not gonna play on Thanksgiving. Don't play the Lions, do

342
00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:47,320
Speaker 1: play the Cowboys. Well, you know what I say that

343
00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:49,120
Speaker 1: we could play on thanks we could play the night

344
00:15:49,160 --> 00:15:53,160
Speaker 1: game on Thanksgiving because Dallas and Detroit they're locked in.

345
00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:55,320
Speaker 1: But there's a possibility we could play that night Thanksgiving

346
00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:59,240
Speaker 1: game that goes up just about anybody on it. Uh, well,

347
00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:02,960
Speaker 1: yeah it could. I'm trying to think who's played in

348
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:05,080
Speaker 1: that game. The last few Chiefs have played in it.

349
00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:07,960
Speaker 1: I want to say it's like it's the red Skins,

350
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:09,280
Speaker 1: and that's not the red Skins. I want to say

351
00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:11,080
Speaker 1: it's been an FFC East game, But no, you're right,

352
00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:14,320
Speaker 1: it could be so, yeah, it could be that Thanksgiving night.

353
00:16:14,360 --> 00:16:17,040
Speaker 1: Oh gosh, I prefer not to. I'd prefer not to.

354
00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:20,120
Speaker 1: I wouldn't think we'd be in that. But that's you know,

355
00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:23,160
Speaker 1: who's to say Who's Thursday game. I would want the

356
00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:25,000
Speaker 1: Thursday game to be at night. Now you've gone through

357
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:29,160
Speaker 1: a Thursday, You've gone through Thanksgiving. Dude, Damn, that's the last.

358
00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:34,520
Speaker 1: That's incidentally, that's the last uh NFC road road win

359
00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:39,080
Speaker 1: for the Texans. Twenty twelve Thanksgiving Day at Detroit. You

360
00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:41,520
Speaker 1: were dead in the water. Should have lost that game.

361
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:46,280
Speaker 1: And then justin for set just keeps playing through what

362
00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:49,760
Speaker 1: what what was not a whistle and he winds up scoring.

363
00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:53,000
Speaker 1: Should have been down, but because Schwartz through the flag,

364
00:16:53,760 --> 00:16:56,040
Speaker 1: the score wound up counting. And they later changed that rule.

365
00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:58,480
Speaker 1: But I was I thought there's an outside chance of

366
00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:01,160
Speaker 1: a riot happening because those fans were furious. They were

367
00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:03,120
Speaker 1: throwing stuff on the field. You didn't see it on

368
00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:05,240
Speaker 1: the broadcast, they were I mean, there were stuff getting

369
00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:06,600
Speaker 1: thrown on the field. It was it was ugly there

370
00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:08,440
Speaker 1: for a second. I at that point, I was doing

371
00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:11,960
Speaker 1: overnight radio, yeah, for Yahoo Sports Radio at that point,

372
00:17:12,080 --> 00:17:16,720
Speaker 1: and my biggest affiliate was ninety seven five the ticket

373
00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:20,040
Speaker 1: in Detroit. They must be furious. Oh they handed again,

374
00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:22,040
Speaker 1: and they knew I was in Houston. Yea, they knew

375
00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:24,120
Speaker 1: we were in Houston, and so they talked about that often.

376
00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:26,040
Speaker 1: In fact, leading up to that game, there were callers

377
00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:27,840
Speaker 1: wanting to make bets and all that, and I just went,

378
00:17:28,760 --> 00:17:33,600
Speaker 1: I was very confident leading up to that game. Or

379
00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:36,399
Speaker 1: I'm sorry that was that was very confident leading up

380
00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:40,920
Speaker 1: to the Sunday, which was the Jaguars that Sunday, and

381
00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:45,560
Speaker 1: that game goes into overtime. Yeah. Oh man, I I

382
00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:48,119
Speaker 1: don't know about this. It's the only time I've ever

383
00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:51,360
Speaker 1: seen the Texans walk off the field after a victory

384
00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:54,879
Speaker 1: looking like they had just lost. Yeah, so that was tough.

385
00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:58,480
Speaker 1: And one last thought on the subject, really funny start

386
00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:00,840
Speaker 1: to the game. The Texans come out for their intros.

387
00:18:01,800 --> 00:18:06,520
Speaker 1: The loud speaker Detroit was playing the Spice Girls What

388
00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:09,440
Speaker 1: you Want whatever? That that's pretty funy, which I've always

389
00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:12,040
Speaker 1: advocated we should play funny songs, like you know, when

390
00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:14,040
Speaker 1: the Colts come out here, we should play My Little

391
00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:17,399
Speaker 1: Pony theme music or something like that, or by Little Pony.

392
00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:20,680
Speaker 1: I don't know why I know that song the So

393
00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:23,879
Speaker 1: this is my story with that. When I doing my

394
00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:27,080
Speaker 1: own night show, the people Detroit called all the time

395
00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:29,600
Speaker 1: Sports radio is a huge deal in Detroit and the

396
00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:31,600
Speaker 1: ticket was massive. I came on and it was like,

397
00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:33,320
Speaker 1: oh man, we can talk this guy about anything about

398
00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:36,000
Speaker 1: any sports. So there was a Gentleman's Club in Detroit

399
00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:40,320
Speaker 1: and for that Thanksgiving game, that Gentleman's Club, and it'd

400
00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:42,040
Speaker 1: be kind of came kind of running joke on our

401
00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:47,400
Speaker 1: show that Gentleman's Club showed up apparently outside Ford Field

402
00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:53,359
Speaker 1: in like a party busy. We're entertaining people in this

403
00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:57,440
Speaker 1: party bus and all when I got when we got

404
00:18:57,480 --> 00:19:00,200
Speaker 1: back after that game, because it was Thanksgiving weekend, came

405
00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:02,320
Speaker 1: back that next week, callers from Detroit were like, you're

406
00:19:02,359 --> 00:19:04,200
Speaker 1: not gonna believe this, and I can't for life and

407
00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:06,879
Speaker 1: remember what the place was called. But they sent me

408
00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:11,440
Speaker 1: pictures of this place right outside Ford Field, and I went, oh,

409
00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:15,479
Speaker 1: I I'm sort of glad I wasn't there, but then

410
00:19:15,520 --> 00:19:17,800
Speaker 1: I kind of would have wanted to see. It was strange.

411
00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:20,480
Speaker 1: So our point bringing all that up was there could

412
00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:23,800
Speaker 1: be a Thanksgiving game. My guess is, but you could,

413
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:25,960
Speaker 1: it would have to be, like we said, the nighttime

414
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:28,440
Speaker 1: game because you have the cowboys at home, you're playing

415
00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:32,280
Speaker 1: them here. Especially. Yeah, consider you've been playing Christmas Night.

416
00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:37,080
Speaker 1: Consider we playing Christmas Night last year before, I would

417
00:19:37,119 --> 00:19:39,520
Speaker 1: think we're not gonna have that, But we're out of

418
00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:42,840
Speaker 1: the we're out of the Christmas Eve Christmas Night zone zone.

419
00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:44,960
Speaker 1: So we're we're good at least for the few years.

420
00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:49,720
Speaker 1: So the marriages can stay and play. That's set the

421
00:19:49,840 --> 00:19:55,360
Speaker 1: schedule itself. Primetime games, Drew Doherty, The Texans will have

422
00:19:55,880 --> 00:19:58,560
Speaker 1: I think blank primetime games at twenty eighteen. I think

423
00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:00,920
Speaker 1: you'll see four. I know Vandamir and a lot of

424
00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:02,640
Speaker 1: you guys are like, gung ho, it's gonna be five,

425
00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:06,040
Speaker 1: no questions asked. I still think it's gonna be four.

426
00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:08,919
Speaker 1: I really do, and that that includes the one Thursday

427
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:11,679
Speaker 1: night that everybody plays, and then I'm sure there'll be

428
00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:14,119
Speaker 1: a Monday nighter mix in there, maybe another one, but

429
00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:16,920
Speaker 1: I think it's four. I think, because you've got to

430
00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:19,359
Speaker 1: Shawn Watson, that that works in your favor as far

431
00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:21,679
Speaker 1: as having more. But I also think you can't get

432
00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:24,360
Speaker 1: past the fact that these guys lost twelve games last year. Yeah,

433
00:20:24,359 --> 00:20:26,280
Speaker 1: I agree with you on that's what that's what the

434
00:20:26,359 --> 00:20:29,560
Speaker 1: network execs are seeing. Yeah, that's true. When I think

435
00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:33,240
Speaker 1: about teams throughout the league that I want to see

436
00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:35,640
Speaker 1: on prime time, I'm just thinking, just me and Joe,

437
00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:37,280
Speaker 1: what teams do I want to see in prime time?

438
00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:40,480
Speaker 1: I always want to see Brady. I want to see

439
00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:43,119
Speaker 1: the Patriots. I love watching the Eagles. Eagles are a

440
00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:45,439
Speaker 1: fun team to watch. And obviously having Carson Wentz the

441
00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:48,240
Speaker 1: Rams and being on in LA, I would imagine they're

442
00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:53,360
Speaker 1: gonna get the Saints now too. Man with with breezes board, Yeah, yeah,

443
00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:56,480
Speaker 1: I could. I could see that. And you notice Steelers

444
00:20:56,600 --> 00:20:58,960
Speaker 1: and Cowboys, Sure they're gonna get some and you know

445
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:02,880
Speaker 1: the Giants will probably get Stackers too. Mal. There's there's

446
00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:05,280
Speaker 1: some games and so one thing that I looked at

447
00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:10,160
Speaker 1: of those teams that we just mentioned, Ben mentioned Patriots, Steelers, Saints,

448
00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:13,800
Speaker 1: Eagles playing them. We're playing a number of those teams.

449
00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:17,680
Speaker 1: And the other aspect of it is is a quarterback matchup.

450
00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:20,840
Speaker 1: Because if there's one thing I feel like Drew the

451
00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:27,600
Speaker 1: NFL needs to sell going forward is this younger crew

452
00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:32,000
Speaker 1: of quarterback totally, because Roethlisberger and Brady are gonna be

453
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:34,359
Speaker 1: out the door soon, Sola Rivers, those guys are gonna

454
00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:36,679
Speaker 1: be out the door soon. Rogers is gonna have too

455
00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:41,000
Speaker 1: much longer after that. Wilson's in relative middle age career

456
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:43,040
Speaker 1: wise terms with him, and I'm with you. You know,

457
00:21:43,040 --> 00:21:46,199
Speaker 1: Peter Schreger and the guys Good Morning Football on NFL Network,

458
00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:49,000
Speaker 1: They at least it seems like once a week they

459
00:21:49,040 --> 00:21:52,880
Speaker 1: pop out some video, some segment talking about how Deshaun

460
00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:56,080
Speaker 1: Watson's the face of the league or future face of

461
00:21:56,080 --> 00:21:58,920
Speaker 1: the league. It's moving that way. Deshaun watsons the most

462
00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:01,760
Speaker 1: electric player in all the game. So yeah, they're on

463
00:22:01,840 --> 00:22:05,000
Speaker 1: board with it. I still think it's just just because

464
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:08,560
Speaker 1: they lost twelve games though, it's gonna pull them back

465
00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:13,120
Speaker 1: from getting max the max primetime games. Yeah. I think

466
00:22:13,119 --> 00:22:15,000
Speaker 1: the teams that will get the MAX would be the Steelers,

467
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:18,840
Speaker 1: the Patriots, the Packers, those three, the Cowboys. I would

468
00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:21,479
Speaker 1: think that. And I think because the Texas play, I

469
00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:24,399
Speaker 1: think I think five is possible. I when you said

470
00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:27,600
Speaker 1: that there will be five, no questions asked. I feel

471
00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:29,960
Speaker 1: like it'll be five, but I could absolutely see four.

472
00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:34,560
Speaker 1: I feel five is being five is is is thinking

473
00:22:34,600 --> 00:22:36,399
Speaker 1: and tried to think how many we had last year,

474
00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:39,920
Speaker 1: had the Chiefs on a Sunday night, had the Bengals

475
00:22:39,920 --> 00:22:43,200
Speaker 1: on a Thursday night, had the Ravens on a Monday night.

476
00:22:43,240 --> 00:22:45,400
Speaker 1: It was those three? Did I missed one? We only

477
00:22:45,400 --> 00:22:47,879
Speaker 1: have three last year? Oh the steel The Steelers is

478
00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:50,960
Speaker 1: an afternoon game, but it was considered primetime, right. I

479
00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:53,120
Speaker 1: could see them getting five even though I was four

480
00:22:53,119 --> 00:22:55,680
Speaker 1: and twelve team they signed that. They they got on

481
00:22:55,680 --> 00:22:58,159
Speaker 1: that without even knowing. The Texas had drafted Deshaun Watson,

482
00:22:58,359 --> 00:23:01,359
Speaker 1: but they were also coming off playoff went to division

483
00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:04,359
Speaker 1: divisional playoff rounds. So the other question to me is

484
00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:08,119
Speaker 1: from that standpoint is how many you take it the Jags?

485
00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:09,840
Speaker 1: How many you take of the Titans? How many you

486
00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:12,080
Speaker 1: take it the Colts? I would I would imagine might

487
00:23:12,119 --> 00:23:13,680
Speaker 1: Bee wait and see on the Colts just to see

488
00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:16,080
Speaker 1: if Andrew Luck comes back. But I would think the

489
00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:19,480
Speaker 1: Jagson even though I don't think the Jags. And this

490
00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:21,280
Speaker 1: is an interesting article. I saw a boy, Rynod Holler

491
00:23:21,320 --> 00:23:24,439
Speaker 1: and rights for the Florida Times Union. He was he

492
00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:28,159
Speaker 1: mapped out the Jaguar schedule and then one of his

493
00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:31,040
Speaker 1: other articles was looking at the prime time games and

494
00:23:31,320 --> 00:23:33,640
Speaker 1: Jackson was just not a team I think people want

495
00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:35,760
Speaker 1: to see play on prime time still and it goes,

496
00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:37,680
Speaker 1: you know, goes back to the quarterback, right, goes back

497
00:23:37,680 --> 00:23:40,439
Speaker 1: to the quarterback. Even though he was under center and

498
00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:43,240
Speaker 1: they went to the conference title game, he still is

499
00:23:43,280 --> 00:23:45,640
Speaker 1: a guy that people have a lot of doubts about. Yeah. Absolutely,

500
00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:49,240
Speaker 1: And I think the Titans. I think the Titans. When

501
00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:52,000
Speaker 1: I think about watchability of those teams, it's just it's

502
00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:53,879
Speaker 1: not there. I'm not saying they're bad teams. I'm just

503
00:23:53,920 --> 00:23:57,639
Speaker 1: saying the watchability factor. Yeah, because Bortles hasn't become that

504
00:23:57,800 --> 00:24:00,480
Speaker 1: guy yet. And yeah, Leonard Fournet's fun to watch, but

505
00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:04,560
Speaker 1: man of suffocating defense is not really great primetime watching,

506
00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:08,000
Speaker 1: to be honest. But your quarterbacks, Wentz versus Watson, Prescott

507
00:24:08,080 --> 00:24:12,040
Speaker 1: versus Watson, Brady versus Watson, those quarterback matchups end up

508
00:24:12,080 --> 00:24:15,840
Speaker 1: being musty television ship. And to the point of these

509
00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:20,720
Speaker 1: young quarterbacks of Wentz and Prescott and Watson, these guys

510
00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:23,720
Speaker 1: that are coming in like Baker Mayfield and Lamar Jackson

511
00:24:23,720 --> 00:24:26,840
Speaker 1: and Sam Donald Rosen, all those guys coming, they've got

512
00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:29,359
Speaker 1: to be the face going forward. They've got to start

513
00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:33,520
Speaker 1: being the players that people want to see week in

514
00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:36,560
Speaker 1: and week out, because that old guard of Peyton Manning

515
00:24:36,640 --> 00:24:40,920
Speaker 1: and Tom Brady and Philip Rivers, those guys are, they're

516
00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:43,360
Speaker 1: close to the end. These guys they've got it. I'll

517
00:24:43,359 --> 00:24:45,840
Speaker 1: start putting them forward. I could see that Thursday nighter

518
00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:49,480
Speaker 1: being the second week at New England. I just got

519
00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:51,520
Speaker 1: a few about that. I can see that being the case.

520
00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:53,960
Speaker 1: I hope not, but I'd much either play that game,

521
00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:55,680
Speaker 1: that Thursday night game, if we're gonna go on the

522
00:24:55,760 --> 00:24:58,720
Speaker 1: road in particular and play that early in the year,

523
00:24:59,320 --> 00:25:01,040
Speaker 1: get it out of the away. To play that thing

524
00:25:01,040 --> 00:25:05,240
Speaker 1: in week nine, week ten, I don't want. I don't

525
00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:08,280
Speaker 1: want any part of that thing at that point, considering

526
00:25:08,320 --> 00:25:10,360
Speaker 1: when you and and we get a chance to see

527
00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:12,520
Speaker 1: this as something that not a lot of people outside

528
00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:15,560
Speaker 1: this building get to see, but we we see these

529
00:25:15,560 --> 00:25:19,520
Speaker 1: guys shuffling off from meeting room to locker room to cafeteria,

530
00:25:19,560 --> 00:25:22,800
Speaker 1: et cetera. When you see them during the week, there

531
00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:25,120
Speaker 1: are times where you go, how's that guy gonna play

532
00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:30,440
Speaker 1: on Sunday? Yeah, how's that? No, it's it's I could

533
00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:32,920
Speaker 1: I think it's You're gonna see the league eventually move

534
00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:36,920
Speaker 1: to adding another bye week right before the Thursday. And

535
00:25:37,040 --> 00:25:39,040
Speaker 1: it makes the season longer too. I mean that way

536
00:25:39,080 --> 00:25:42,880
Speaker 1: you get to go almost a Valentine's Day. Um, that's

537
00:25:42,880 --> 00:25:44,760
Speaker 1: the way I kind of see this thing happening. Yeah,

538
00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:47,480
Speaker 1: I agree. You just prolonged the season. You prolonged the season,

539
00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:49,919
Speaker 1: or you started the same week as college football. You

540
00:25:49,920 --> 00:25:53,320
Speaker 1: could do that. You know, there's no need to. I mean,

541
00:25:53,359 --> 00:25:54,560
Speaker 1: if you don't want to play all the way up

542
00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:57,280
Speaker 1: to Valentine's Day, I mean, there's that that weekend. Why

543
00:25:57,359 --> 00:25:59,800
Speaker 1: not because they're that you. I agree with you, because

544
00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:01,800
Speaker 1: go super Bowl and then two weeks later the NBA

545
00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:03,960
Speaker 1: All Star Game. So you could go another week and

546
00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:05,720
Speaker 1: just bump right up in the NBA All Star Game.

547
00:26:05,760 --> 00:26:06,960
Speaker 1: You could do that. I think that I hate I

548
00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:09,439
Speaker 1: hate them on the February for sports. It's not That's

549
00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:11,439
Speaker 1: why I'm fine with going all the you know, I

550
00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:13,359
Speaker 1: mean other than the Super Bowl, there's really nothing. I mean,

551
00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:15,879
Speaker 1: NBA All Star Game doesn't really kind of yeah whatever,

552
00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:18,800
Speaker 1: I don't really get there. And college basketball is nearing

553
00:26:18,800 --> 00:26:21,200
Speaker 1: the end, but nobody's really paying attention to college basketball.

554
00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:24,600
Speaker 1: Baseball is spring training. February to me is one of

555
00:26:24,600 --> 00:26:27,639
Speaker 1: the I think that's one of the more lame months.

556
00:26:28,080 --> 00:26:30,639
Speaker 1: You know, it's another one that's not so great. Although

557
00:26:30,760 --> 00:26:33,560
Speaker 1: NBA Finals, I'm trying to think how far into June

558
00:26:33,560 --> 00:26:36,040
Speaker 1: they go about mid June, and those about mid June,

559
00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:39,360
Speaker 1: second half of June, and on into the early part

560
00:26:39,400 --> 00:26:42,520
Speaker 1: of July. The two weeks from the middle of June

561
00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:47,080
Speaker 1: to the middle of July. Bub kiss. I like it though.

562
00:26:47,080 --> 00:26:49,720
Speaker 1: It's got baseball every night. Yeah, you do have. I mean,

563
00:26:49,760 --> 00:26:53,359
Speaker 1: aside from the two the one before and one after

564
00:26:53,359 --> 00:26:55,200
Speaker 1: the All Star I like baseball. So you said four

565
00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:56,639
Speaker 1: prime time games for the time, Yeah, I think it's

566
00:26:56,640 --> 00:26:59,000
Speaker 1: gonna be four. Which teams do you think they play?

567
00:26:59,080 --> 00:27:02,200
Speaker 1: I think you will see the Texans play the Patriots

568
00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:04,600
Speaker 1: in primetime because they always seem to match them up.

569
00:27:05,720 --> 00:27:08,280
Speaker 1: I think you'll see a wild card in there. And

570
00:27:08,560 --> 00:27:11,280
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be stunned to see the Cowboys game be

571
00:27:11,320 --> 00:27:17,199
Speaker 1: a primetimer. Oh man, not necessarily a Texans fans tailgating

572
00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:22,080
Speaker 1: all day long then going into the game, all hell

573
00:27:22,080 --> 00:27:24,200
Speaker 1: will break was now it has before twenty two was

574
00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:26,200
Speaker 1: in that game. Yeah, so now you're better equipped to

575
00:27:26,200 --> 00:27:29,680
Speaker 1: handle it because you're true, you know you didn't have Yeah. Anyways,

576
00:27:29,840 --> 00:27:33,679
Speaker 1: seemingly I just know that twenty fourteen game that was

577
00:27:33,720 --> 00:27:36,240
Speaker 1: in Arlington, that was like a college game is half

578
00:27:36,280 --> 00:27:38,119
Speaker 1: and half. It was amazing. That was a lot of

579
00:27:38,160 --> 00:27:40,119
Speaker 1: battle read up in the stands up there in Arlington.

580
00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:44,239
Speaker 1: That was one of my most what was That's one

581
00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:45,840
Speaker 1: of the memories I have that sticks out the most.

582
00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:47,720
Speaker 1: Not a great way obviously because the Texans to win

583
00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:52,359
Speaker 1: that game, but just from a the way the building

584
00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:56,239
Speaker 1: was configured with like fifty fifty where Tony Romo's got

585
00:27:56,280 --> 00:27:58,000
Speaker 1: to go to a silent count in his own building,

586
00:27:58,200 --> 00:28:00,760
Speaker 1: the Texans coming back at the end to tie it

587
00:28:00,800 --> 00:28:04,919
Speaker 1: and sent it over time. I mean that game and

588
00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:07,040
Speaker 1: it was all mingled in. It wasn't like a half

589
00:28:07,040 --> 00:28:11,840
Speaker 1: of the stadium was all Texans. It was Texas throughout

590
00:28:11,840 --> 00:28:14,399
Speaker 1: the red and Cowboy blue, all of us. It was.

591
00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:17,600
Speaker 1: It was amazing. And twenty eighteen, I don't think that

592
00:28:17,640 --> 00:28:19,600
Speaker 1: Cowboys are gonna get fifty percent of the seats and

593
00:28:19,680 --> 00:28:21,719
Speaker 1: energy stadium. No, there will be a lot of Cowboys

594
00:28:21,760 --> 00:28:24,199
Speaker 1: fan It's gonna be pretty vocal. They travel all over

595
00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:27,240
Speaker 1: and that's nighttime. That's a primetime I think. So I

596
00:28:27,280 --> 00:28:29,680
Speaker 1: could see it, can't you? I mean I could see

597
00:28:29,720 --> 00:28:32,119
Speaker 1: it if I'm if I'm NBC or I'm the I'm

598
00:28:32,160 --> 00:28:36,240
Speaker 1: the Networks. I absolutely want Dak Prescott versus Carson Wentz,

599
00:28:36,560 --> 00:28:40,680
Speaker 1: DeShawn Watson and Texans Vie Cowboys. Absolutely I want that

600
00:28:40,760 --> 00:28:43,840
Speaker 1: on television, totally, no doubt in my mind. I want that.

601
00:28:43,920 --> 00:28:46,040
Speaker 1: I was a classic game in fourteen. Oh, it was

602
00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:48,720
Speaker 1: incredible and it was just a newon game. JJ had

603
00:28:48,840 --> 00:28:52,160
Speaker 1: Tony Romo dead in the water, and Romo made one

604
00:28:52,160 --> 00:28:54,120
Speaker 1: of the greatest plays ever just spun out of it.

605
00:28:54,320 --> 00:28:56,080
Speaker 1: He had eyes in the back of his head that day,

606
00:28:56,320 --> 00:28:59,400
Speaker 1: spun out of it. Found Terrence Williams for the I

607
00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:02,920
Speaker 1: saw Jake day Honey in on him and I was like, yeah, sack.

608
00:29:03,120 --> 00:29:06,120
Speaker 1: And then when I saw Romo spin out a quick

609
00:29:06,160 --> 00:29:08,640
Speaker 1: lookdown fielding, oh, and I just watched that ball in

610
00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:10,120
Speaker 1: the air and I went watched him catch this thing.

611
00:29:10,120 --> 00:29:12,280
Speaker 1: And we got two guys there. I remember my old guys,

612
00:29:12,280 --> 00:29:15,360
Speaker 1: my old boss. Bob Sturm tweeted something along the lines

613
00:29:15,400 --> 00:29:19,200
Speaker 1: of J. J. Watt had moved a mile before anyone

614
00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:22,200
Speaker 1: else had moved an inch because he he timed that

615
00:29:22,280 --> 00:29:25,720
Speaker 1: snap perfectly and was going and he was already in

616
00:29:25,720 --> 00:29:28,240
Speaker 1: the backfield and Tyron Smith hadn't even moved yet, and

617
00:29:28,280 --> 00:29:30,200
Speaker 1: he couldn't have. He would have been all sides had

618
00:29:30,240 --> 00:29:31,600
Speaker 1: he He He couldn't hear it because it was so loud

619
00:29:31,600 --> 00:29:33,200
Speaker 1: in the building. That's why they went to a silent

620
00:29:33,320 --> 00:29:35,760
Speaker 1: count Tony Romo. Yeah, it gonna be a different team

621
00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:39,240
Speaker 1: with no Romo. Nodez Drew appreciated. Brother. Time we'll go

622
00:29:39,280 --> 00:29:43,680
Speaker 1: around the NFL. We get back and a Bill Barnwell article.

623
00:29:44,160 --> 00:29:46,160
Speaker 1: I'll get some credit with my man Sean Pendergas for

624
00:29:46,600 --> 00:29:49,640
Speaker 1: tipping me off to this one. The twenty eighteen all

625

Speaker 1: Trades Mocked Draft the Texans are included a trade with

626

627
00:29:56,920 --> 00:30:00,600
Speaker 1: that next right here in Texans Access one, anold segment

628
00:30:00,640 --> 00:30:04,080
Speaker 1: of Texans All Access. On this wonderful Monday evening from

629
00:30:04,080 --> 00:30:06,840
Speaker 1: the Honday Texans Radio Studio, I'm your host, football analyst

Speaker 1: and salad reporters John Harris. Glad to be with you,

631
00:30:09,480 --> 00:30:11,240
Speaker 1: But man, I gotta say I wish I were out

632
00:30:11,240 --> 00:30:16,480
Speaker 1: in this weather. Holy smokes, these this day and Sunday.

633
00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:19,680
Speaker 1: These are days you moved to Houston for mid to

634
00:30:19,720 --> 00:30:24,280
Speaker 1: low seventies. It's actually cooler than that. On Sunday. It's

635
00:30:24,280 --> 00:30:27,160
Speaker 1: while these free agents came to Houston. That and gonna

636
00:30:27,200 --> 00:30:29,360
Speaker 1: win a ring at some point, hopefully this year. Be

637
00:30:29,440 --> 00:30:31,560
Speaker 1: nice of this this year. But that's when you come

638
00:30:31,560 --> 00:30:36,000
Speaker 1: to Houston, man. These days. Right here now, middle of August, Okay,

639
00:30:36,040 --> 00:30:38,800
Speaker 1: a little different story. You walk outside, it's like it's

640
00:30:38,880 --> 00:30:42,560
Speaker 1: the sweat you just start taking on and it flows

641
00:30:42,560 --> 00:30:45,360
Speaker 1: out your pores. As soon as you walk outside. Took

642
00:30:45,400 --> 00:30:48,000
Speaker 1: a shower, You're gonna need another one. That's just the

643
00:30:48,040 --> 00:30:50,240
Speaker 1: way it is. But that said, that can be August.

644
00:30:50,400 --> 00:30:53,160
Speaker 1: This is April and it's beautiful. So I'm taking advantage

645
00:30:53,160 --> 00:30:55,560
Speaker 1: of it well after the show, that is, once I

646
00:30:55,600 --> 00:30:57,600
Speaker 1: get out of here. But that said, now I tease

647
00:30:57,680 --> 00:31:00,840
Speaker 1: in this segment we'd go around the NFL and mixed

648
00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:02,720
Speaker 1: the draft in. And I gotta give a little bit

649
00:31:02,760 --> 00:31:04,840
Speaker 1: of credit here to my buddy Sean Pennergastles. Listen to

650
00:31:04,880 --> 00:31:06,800
Speaker 1: the Triple Threat today on our sport NUR flags and

651
00:31:06,840 --> 00:31:09,800
Speaker 1: Sports Radio six ten, and I heard him discussing a

652
00:31:09,840 --> 00:31:15,680
Speaker 1: trade proposal out of an article from Bill Barnwell from ESPN,

653
00:31:16,800 --> 00:31:20,120
Speaker 1: and he led me to Sean led me to this

654
00:31:20,200 --> 00:31:24,600
Speaker 1: article that Bill wrote. That is the twenty eighteen all

655
00:31:24,720 --> 00:31:31,920
Speaker 1: trades mock draft. Now, obviously these trades I don't want

656
00:31:31,960 --> 00:31:34,320
Speaker 1: to say aren't gonna happen, but more than likely are

657
00:31:34,360 --> 00:31:38,640
Speaker 1: not gonna happen. But it is interesting to take a

658
00:31:38,680 --> 00:31:44,040
Speaker 1: ganner at some of the deals that he has proposed.

659
00:31:44,480 --> 00:31:46,480
Speaker 1: And it starts at the top, and we'll get to

660
00:31:46,520 --> 00:31:48,920
Speaker 1: that end just a second. But a little bit of news,

661
00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:53,040
Speaker 1: speaking of draft. Last year, the Seattle Seahawks drafted a

662
00:31:53,160 --> 00:31:58,080
Speaker 1: defensive and defensive tackle, a Jademion Clowney like player. I

663
00:31:58,080 --> 00:31:59,880
Speaker 1: guess if you will, just because he can line up

664
00:31:59,880 --> 00:32:02,200
Speaker 1: all over the field, and that's about whether the comparison

665
00:32:02,200 --> 00:32:05,120
Speaker 1: to stop I suppose of the fact that he's six six,

666
00:32:05,160 --> 00:32:07,720
Speaker 1: he's about two seventy five, and he could be a

667
00:32:07,760 --> 00:32:13,959
Speaker 1: freaky athlete. Mileek McDowell Millie McDowell was an unbelievable player

668
00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:19,240
Speaker 1: in twenty fifteen. I mean unbelievable. Quinn Nelson is my

669
00:32:19,280 --> 00:32:22,440
Speaker 1: top player in Harris one hundred this year. Malik McDowell

670
00:32:22,520 --> 00:32:25,760
Speaker 1: gave Quintin Nelson all he could handle, and then some

671
00:32:26,040 --> 00:32:29,200
Speaker 1: when they met in twenty fifteen, and then then again

672
00:32:29,240 --> 00:32:32,280
Speaker 1: in twenty sixteen. About twenty sixteen, then with the greatest

673
00:32:32,360 --> 00:32:35,320
Speaker 1: year part of that was he had been thinking about

674
00:32:35,360 --> 00:32:38,960
Speaker 1: going pro. Seemed like he was kind of holding back

675
00:32:39,000 --> 00:32:43,040
Speaker 1: all year long. Anyways, he gets drafted by the Seattle Seahawks,

676
00:32:43,160 --> 00:32:47,320
Speaker 1: first pick of the Seahawks in the second round. The Seahawks,

677
00:32:47,320 --> 00:32:48,880
Speaker 1: I believe, traded out of the first round if I

678
00:32:48,920 --> 00:32:51,120
Speaker 1: remember correctly, and they were sitting at pick thirty five.

679
00:32:51,160 --> 00:32:54,440
Speaker 1: They took Mollie McDowell. I thought, man Leek McDowell already

680
00:32:54,480 --> 00:32:57,640
Speaker 1: got Sheldon Richardson. There you've got oh, I can't remember.

681
00:32:57,640 --> 00:33:00,080
Speaker 1: I think Sheldon Richardson was already there. Michael bennet it.

682
00:33:00,400 --> 00:33:02,720
Speaker 1: Now you have McDowell, you got Ron reid Man. They're

683
00:33:02,720 --> 00:33:05,960
Speaker 1: gonna be filthy. Well, then McDowell got an ATV accident.

684
00:33:07,800 --> 00:33:10,640
Speaker 1: Pro Football Talk is and this is where I saw

685
00:33:10,680 --> 00:33:13,720
Speaker 1: the story. And I'm not sure where he credits and

686
00:33:13,840 --> 00:33:17,080
Speaker 1: who he credits with this, but Michael David Smith wrote this.

687
00:33:17,640 --> 00:33:20,920
Speaker 1: But Ian Rappaport said that the Seahawks are likely to

688
00:33:21,160 --> 00:33:26,920
Speaker 1: cut McDowell. He's never played that accident that he had.

689
00:33:27,560 --> 00:33:31,560
Speaker 1: He missed the entire season. Now, there are a couple

690
00:33:31,600 --> 00:33:33,240
Speaker 1: things here. Number one, is he ever gonna be able

691
00:33:33,280 --> 00:33:37,040
Speaker 1: to come back from the accident? And on top of that,

692
00:33:37,120 --> 00:33:40,800
Speaker 1: he was also rested for a disorderly conduct. So you've

693
00:33:40,800 --> 00:33:43,720
Speaker 1: got those two things going against Billie McDowell. But this

694
00:33:43,720 --> 00:33:46,240
Speaker 1: guy is a william An athlete. The Seahawks to just

695
00:33:46,320 --> 00:33:51,160
Speaker 1: say we're cutting bait boy, there is there's a lot

696
00:33:51,160 --> 00:33:55,280
Speaker 1: there to unpack. But the seahawks number one pick from

697
00:33:55,400 --> 00:33:59,160
Speaker 1: last year, which is number thirty five overall, Malik McDowell

698
00:34:00,160 --> 00:34:02,640
Speaker 1: sounds like he's gonna be cut from the Seattle Seahawks.

699
00:34:02,640 --> 00:34:04,920
Speaker 1: Now the Seattle Seahawks. I got to thinking about this

700
00:34:04,960 --> 00:34:07,680
Speaker 1: the other day because Deon Jordan is gonna resign with

701
00:34:07,680 --> 00:34:10,759
Speaker 1: the Seahawks. And Jordan was the number three pick with

702
00:34:10,840 --> 00:34:13,680
Speaker 1: the Miami Dolphins in twenty thirteen, which I thought was

703
00:34:13,680 --> 00:34:16,520
Speaker 1: a total shock because when the Dolphins traded up, I

704
00:34:16,560 --> 00:34:18,040
Speaker 1: thought they were gonna go get a tackle. I thought

705
00:34:18,080 --> 00:34:20,879
Speaker 1: they were gonna draft Lane Johnson because tackles had gone

706
00:34:20,880 --> 00:34:24,080
Speaker 1: one and two. It was Eric Fisher to the Chiefs,

707
00:34:24,200 --> 00:34:26,719
Speaker 1: Luke jokeing to the Jags, and I thought, man onlier

708
00:34:26,760 --> 00:34:28,920
Speaker 1: the tackle were taking is Lane Johnson. Dolphins trade up,

709
00:34:28,960 --> 00:34:31,640
Speaker 1: Dolphins needed to tackle. They went and got Deon Jordan.

710
00:34:31,760 --> 00:34:34,279
Speaker 1: I have felt on my chair, but Deon Jordan has

711
00:34:34,320 --> 00:34:36,239
Speaker 1: played better and better and now he's gonna resign with

712
00:34:36,320 --> 00:34:40,000
Speaker 1: the Seattle Seahawks and a good spot for him. And

713
00:34:40,120 --> 00:34:42,760
Speaker 1: he got it turned around because after he was drafted,

714
00:34:42,760 --> 00:34:45,279
Speaker 1: he didn't do anything, had some misues on and off

715
00:34:45,280 --> 00:34:47,880
Speaker 1: the field, got it together. We'll see him. Leak can

716
00:34:47,920 --> 00:34:49,680
Speaker 1: do that. Moneke has never even gotten on the field.

717
00:34:51,360 --> 00:34:53,160
Speaker 1: But it looks like the Seahawks are gonna cut the

718
00:34:53,360 --> 00:35:00,400
Speaker 1: number thirty five overall pick from last year. Goodness gracious wow.

719
00:35:00,560 --> 00:35:04,480
Speaker 1: Broncos release c J. Anderson. That was That was a

720
00:35:04,520 --> 00:35:08,040
Speaker 1: little bit of shock. I Holly smokes, but they were

721
00:35:08,040 --> 00:35:09,680
Speaker 1: trying to trade him, so it's not too much of

722
00:35:09,680 --> 00:35:13,680
Speaker 1: a shock, I suppose. But TJ. Anderson released from the

723
00:35:13,760 --> 00:35:17,160
Speaker 1: Denver Broncos. The Vikings have given a big deal to

724
00:35:17,320 --> 00:35:19,880
Speaker 1: Eric Kendricks. I've been a Kendricks fan for a while,

725
00:35:21,440 --> 00:35:24,239
Speaker 1: but I didn't see five years, fifty million coming. But

726
00:35:24,239 --> 00:35:26,600
Speaker 1: that's what they're giving to Eric Kendricks. They still got

727
00:35:26,640 --> 00:35:29,080
Speaker 1: to pay Anthony bar at some point. I think Bar.

728
00:35:30,360 --> 00:35:33,200
Speaker 1: I think he was a twenty fifteen pick if I

729
00:35:33,239 --> 00:35:37,279
Speaker 1: remember correctly, so they've got to I would imagine the

730
00:35:37,400 --> 00:35:39,319
Speaker 1: exercise the option this year and then have to pay

731
00:35:39,440 --> 00:35:42,080
Speaker 1: him a pretty big deal at some point to keep

732
00:35:42,200 --> 00:35:45,200
Speaker 1: him around. Kendricks had one year left, was working contract

733
00:35:45,520 --> 00:35:48,200
Speaker 1: at a salary at one point one million. He's gonna

734
00:35:48,239 --> 00:35:50,279
Speaker 1: make fifty million over five years, and he plays up

735
00:35:50,320 --> 00:35:54,319
Speaker 1: the full contract years, twenty five million guaranteed. That's what

736
00:35:54,440 --> 00:35:56,799
Speaker 1: your defense could look like when you've got speed in

737
00:35:56,800 --> 00:35:58,440
Speaker 1: And I'll never forget when the Texans went up there

738
00:35:58,440 --> 00:36:00,759
Speaker 1: in twenty sixteen, it was third I think it was

739
00:36:00,800 --> 00:36:04,359
Speaker 1: a third short, and Kendricks will line up inside and

740
00:36:04,400 --> 00:36:06,520
Speaker 1: he was gonna have the back if the back released

741
00:36:06,560 --> 00:36:09,320
Speaker 1: out his side. But Kendricks was mugging in the eight gaps.

742
00:36:09,320 --> 00:36:13,200
Speaker 1: Basically he was showing blitz and so Brock changed the play,

743
00:36:13,239 --> 00:36:15,560
Speaker 1: was gonna hit Lamar middle out in the flat. Kendricks

744
00:36:16,200 --> 00:36:20,840
Speaker 1: backed off the blitz sprinted out to the flat and

745
00:36:20,920 --> 00:36:23,200
Speaker 1: Brock through with the Lamar and Lamar got hit right

746
00:36:23,239 --> 00:36:24,960
Speaker 1: as he caught the ball. And I was like, man,

747
00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:28,000
Speaker 1: that's what speed linebacker can do. Texas drafted in the

748
00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:30,040
Speaker 1: second round Zach Cunningham. Those are the kind of things

749
00:36:30,120 --> 00:36:32,080
Speaker 1: Zach Cunningham can do. So it's gonna be exciting to see,

750
00:36:32,239 --> 00:36:34,840
Speaker 1: was Zach, And you go forward congratulations to Kendricks for

751
00:36:35,120 --> 00:36:37,880
Speaker 1: that deal. Now let's get this article by Bill Barnwell.

752
00:36:39,600 --> 00:36:43,160
Speaker 1: I love I love this concept. Twenty eighteen. All trades

753
00:36:43,400 --> 00:36:48,720
Speaker 1: mock drafts, So every single team that's drafting in those spots.

754
00:36:48,880 --> 00:36:52,359
Speaker 1: Browns at one, Giants at two, Jets at three, although

755
00:36:52,480 --> 00:36:56,279
Speaker 1: Dreets have already traded the Browns at four, Broncos at five,

756
00:36:56,320 --> 00:36:59,480
Speaker 1: et cetera, et cetera. Now a lot of these are

757
00:36:59,520 --> 00:37:04,440
Speaker 1: just they're picks. They're just picks for picks or a

758
00:37:04,520 --> 00:37:07,080
Speaker 1: picks for a pick. For example, of number two, the

759
00:37:07,120 --> 00:37:11,600
Speaker 1: New York Giants, the Giants trade with the Bills, and

760
00:37:11,680 --> 00:37:16,040
Speaker 1: the Giants get the two Buffalo first round picks, they

761
00:37:16,080 --> 00:37:19,600
Speaker 1: get a second round pick, they get a twenty nineteen

762
00:37:19,719 --> 00:37:24,040
Speaker 1: second round pick, and Shack Lawson and the Bills move

763
00:37:24,120 --> 00:37:28,759
Speaker 1: up ten spots. That's what ten spots does. Wow. I

764
00:37:28,800 --> 00:37:30,600
Speaker 1: think Shack Lawson is gonna end up being a player.

765
00:37:30,680 --> 00:37:32,799
Speaker 1: I liked him come out at Clemson, and hopefully that's

766
00:37:32,840 --> 00:37:35,000
Speaker 1: what he turns into. He's not been that yet. But

767
00:37:35,960 --> 00:37:38,319
Speaker 1: you get both first, you get a second, you get

768
00:37:38,320 --> 00:37:40,239
Speaker 1: twenty nineteen, and I just don't think the Giants are

769
00:37:40,280 --> 00:37:42,960
Speaker 1: playing for the future. I mean every team in some

770
00:37:43,080 --> 00:37:45,919
Speaker 1: sense is but you get my point, they're not. They're

771
00:37:45,960 --> 00:37:48,839
Speaker 1: not gonna go all in at a quarterback. They might,

772
00:37:49,400 --> 00:37:51,160
Speaker 1: but I just look at the deals that they've made.

773
00:37:51,200 --> 00:37:52,440
Speaker 1: I just don't see it. You don't pay an eight

774
00:37:52,480 --> 00:37:55,440
Speaker 1: solder all that money. You don't bring in alec Ogletree

775
00:37:55,840 --> 00:38:01,520
Speaker 1: and eventually pay him money if if you're gonna not tank,

776
00:38:01,600 --> 00:38:03,440
Speaker 1: but if you're gonna draft a young quarterback, I just

777
00:38:03,480 --> 00:38:05,640
Speaker 1: I just don't see it. But either way, so that

778
00:38:05,640 --> 00:38:08,759
Speaker 1: that's pretty much a picks for a pick deal. So

779
00:38:08,800 --> 00:38:11,799
Speaker 1: the Bills move up to number two, and obviously at

780
00:38:11,800 --> 00:38:13,839
Speaker 1: that point they got to get their quarterback. I've said before,

781
00:38:13,880 --> 00:38:17,799
Speaker 1: A j McCarron I think is he's the bridge quarter

782
00:38:17,840 --> 00:38:19,960
Speaker 1: He's gonna be the next Mike Glenned. The Bills are

783
00:38:19,960 --> 00:38:22,319
Speaker 1: not going to Jim McCarron going forward. It's gonna be

784
00:38:23,320 --> 00:38:27,880
Speaker 1: a rookie quarterback at some point stepping in. But McCarron

785
00:38:27,960 --> 00:38:29,520
Speaker 1: can hold down for at least a little bit and

786
00:38:29,520 --> 00:38:31,040
Speaker 1: then they'll go to the rookie. But they've got to

787
00:38:31,040 --> 00:38:33,239
Speaker 1: get a quality rookie. They've got to get somebody better

788
00:38:33,239 --> 00:38:36,640
Speaker 1: than Nathan Peterman. So you got on a list of picks,

789
00:38:36,640 --> 00:38:38,080
Speaker 1: and it's pretty interesting look at but the one of

790
00:38:38,160 --> 00:38:42,439
Speaker 1: hit me right away. The Cleveland Browns. Oh man, if

791
00:38:42,480 --> 00:38:48,239
Speaker 1: this happened, I would I'd love it. Get Andrew Luck

792
00:38:48,280 --> 00:38:51,520
Speaker 1: out of the vision. The Browns trade with the Cults.

793
00:38:53,239 --> 00:38:59,440
Speaker 1: The Browns get Andrew Luck, the six pick in the draft,

794
00:39:00,040 --> 00:39:04,200
Speaker 1: basically swapping spots with the Colts, and a twenty nineteen

795
00:39:04,400 --> 00:39:08,960
Speaker 1: fourth rounder. The Colts get the first pick in the

796
00:39:09,040 --> 00:39:11,719
Speaker 1: draft the fourth pick in the draft, so they get

797
00:39:11,800 --> 00:39:16,280
Speaker 1: both Brown's first round picks. They get the second round

798
00:39:16,360 --> 00:39:19,200
Speaker 1: pick number thirty five, the first pick in the second round,

799
00:39:19,880 --> 00:39:24,480
Speaker 1: and a twenty nineteen first round pick. Look, I'd be

800
00:39:24,520 --> 00:39:26,360
Speaker 1: happy that Andrew Luck could get out of the vision.

801
00:39:26,760 --> 00:39:32,920
Speaker 1: Oh I'd be so pleased. But eventually a one, A one,

802
00:39:33,640 --> 00:39:37,680
Speaker 1: a two, and a future one, not just ones, the

803
00:39:37,719 --> 00:39:39,960
Speaker 1: top pick in the draft, the number four pick in

804
00:39:40,000 --> 00:39:42,359
Speaker 1: the draft, and the top pick in the second round,

805
00:39:42,360 --> 00:39:45,840
Speaker 1: plus the one next year's three additional ones the Colts.

806
00:39:46,040 --> 00:39:52,799
Speaker 1: The Colts parlay the third pick moving down. So essentially,

807
00:39:52,560 --> 00:39:56,040
Speaker 1: the Colts give up the third pick and Andrew Luck,

808
00:39:57,160 --> 00:40:02,040
Speaker 1: and in return they get three first rounders and a

809
00:40:02,200 --> 00:40:05,280
Speaker 1: second rounder, and then all that they got from the Jets,

810
00:40:05,280 --> 00:40:07,680
Speaker 1: which I think were some other second round picks. I mean,

811
00:40:08,840 --> 00:40:11,080
Speaker 1: and Chris Ballard drafts, well, well, that could set the

812
00:40:11,080 --> 00:40:13,239
Speaker 1: Colts up for a long time. Now, the Colts for

813
00:40:13,280 --> 00:40:16,000
Speaker 1: a few years would be on the wing of Sam

814
00:40:16,080 --> 00:40:19,919
Speaker 1: Darnold or Josh Allen or Josh Rosen or whomever, as

815
00:40:19,920 --> 00:40:22,799
Speaker 1: opposed to Andrew Luck. Maybe they'd be on the arm

816
00:40:22,800 --> 00:40:26,200
Speaker 1: of Jacoby Brissette for a little while. But with that

817
00:40:26,320 --> 00:40:30,239
Speaker 1: first pick, take a quarterback. That fourth pick they end

818
00:40:30,280 --> 00:40:32,560
Speaker 1: up getting Bradley Chubb. With the top pick in the

819
00:40:32,600 --> 00:40:35,240
Speaker 1: second round, they take Sony Michelle, And with the twenty

820
00:40:35,320 --> 00:40:38,080
Speaker 1: nineteen first round pick, they get best player available because

821
00:40:38,080 --> 00:40:41,480
Speaker 1: they just got the quarterback in gear before and their

822
00:40:41,560 --> 00:40:48,200
Speaker 1: own pick. Goodness, gracious, that's what happens when you've got

823
00:40:48,239 --> 00:40:49,960
Speaker 1: a quarterback asset. Now this case, the Coults will be

824
00:40:50,000 --> 00:40:51,759
Speaker 1: giving up. The Colts aren't gonna give up Andrew Luck.

825
00:40:52,440 --> 00:40:54,279
Speaker 1: And I don't think the Browns are gonna end up

826
00:40:54,280 --> 00:40:56,080
Speaker 1: trading for a guy and Andrew Luck that they don't

827
00:40:56,120 --> 00:40:58,080
Speaker 1: even know we'll get on the field of twenty eighteen.

828
00:40:58,880 --> 00:41:01,879
Speaker 1: But that was in resting to think about. Now, where

829
00:41:01,880 --> 00:41:06,280
Speaker 1: are the Texans involved in all this pick? Number twenty.

830
00:41:08,800 --> 00:41:12,879
Speaker 1: The Troy Lions got that pick. Lions can be looking

831
00:41:12,880 --> 00:41:18,160
Speaker 1: at interior help, obviously changing defenses with Matt Patricia going there,

832
00:41:18,920 --> 00:41:23,719
Speaker 1: so a lot of different change. Bob Quinn gm Matt

833
00:41:23,760 --> 00:41:28,040
Speaker 1: Patricia both formerly of the Patriots, and that should signal, oh, okay,

834
00:41:28,120 --> 00:41:35,520
Speaker 1: here we go. The Lions trade with the Texans, and

835
00:41:35,640 --> 00:41:39,920
Speaker 1: the Lions get a twenty nineteen first round picks of

836
00:41:40,000 --> 00:41:42,840
Speaker 1: the Texans first pick next year, which hopefully, if things

837
00:41:42,840 --> 00:41:46,080
Speaker 1: go well, that's gonna be a pick in the low thirties,

838
00:41:46,760 --> 00:41:50,040
Speaker 1: like thirty one or thirty two, hopefully thirty two. But

839
00:41:50,120 --> 00:41:53,520
Speaker 1: they also get Whitney Merciless and the Texans get pick

840
00:41:54,040 --> 00:41:59,120
Speaker 1: number twenty. Now I've now here's where it's a little tricky. Now,

841
00:41:59,120 --> 00:42:04,280
Speaker 1: Sean had proposed n triple threat trading Whitney for Gronk

842
00:42:04,360 --> 00:42:06,719
Speaker 1: and I think probably some other draft trap moles he

843
00:42:06,960 --> 00:42:12,759
Speaker 1: described it thrown in and I look, Gronk is maybe

844
00:42:12,760 --> 00:42:14,319
Speaker 1: the greatest tight end of all time. But I've said

845
00:42:14,320 --> 00:42:17,080
Speaker 1: there's three positions that are premiums. The guy can throw it,

846
00:42:17,239 --> 00:42:18,759
Speaker 1: the guy can protect the guy who can throw it,

847
00:42:18,960 --> 00:42:20,399
Speaker 1: the guy that goes to sacks. The guy that can

848
00:42:20,440 --> 00:42:22,680
Speaker 1: throw it Whitney is the guy that can go get

849
00:42:22,719 --> 00:42:27,400
Speaker 1: the sacks and go get the pressures. Now this a

850
00:42:27,520 --> 00:42:31,600
Speaker 1: number twenty the Texans, what I would imagine highlight one

851
00:42:31,600 --> 00:42:35,080
Speaker 1: of the tackles, and that's what Barnwell is saying here, Texas,

852
00:42:35,080 --> 00:42:36,320
Speaker 1: that's what they need to find a way to protect

853
00:42:36,360 --> 00:42:39,120
Speaker 1: butting superstar to Seawan Watson. They currently had the league's

854
00:42:39,120 --> 00:42:42,359
Speaker 1: worst tackle situation, not the worst offensive line. I would

855
00:42:42,400 --> 00:42:44,799
Speaker 1: think after the free agent additions, I don't know that

856
00:42:44,840 --> 00:42:48,360
Speaker 1: I would say that, but they're still a work in progress,

857
00:42:48,520 --> 00:42:51,960
Speaker 1: no doubt. I still don't want to give up a

858
00:42:52,080 --> 00:42:56,480
Speaker 1: quality pass rusher because to me, the difference between the

859
00:42:56,520 --> 00:42:58,480
Speaker 1: tackles you can get in the first round of this

860
00:42:58,600 --> 00:43:01,360
Speaker 1: draft and the tackles could get in the second and

861
00:43:01,400 --> 00:43:05,120
Speaker 1: third round in this draft. That's not vast, but the

862
00:43:05,160 --> 00:43:09,799
Speaker 1: difference in pass rushers. You can never ever have enough

863
00:43:09,840 --> 00:43:13,239
Speaker 1: pass rushers. Ever. In one of these times, one of

864
00:43:13,239 --> 00:43:16,759
Speaker 1: these days, all three of Clowney, wat and Merciless are

865
00:43:16,760 --> 00:43:18,319
Speaker 1: going to be on the field at the same time.

866
00:43:20,440 --> 00:43:22,799
Speaker 1: Barnewell goes on to say, Huston's most expendable asset with

867
00:43:22,960 --> 00:43:28,160
Speaker 1: value as Merciless. Now, Whitney is an Asset. I don't

868
00:43:28,160 --> 00:43:31,200
Speaker 1: want to trade him because again, I think you've got

869
00:43:31,239 --> 00:43:36,040
Speaker 1: to have all pisses firing rushing the quarterback. Think about

870
00:43:36,040 --> 00:43:38,720
Speaker 1: the teams that have beaten the Texans over the years,

871
00:43:38,920 --> 00:43:42,759
Speaker 1: the Patriots. Why Tom Brady getting pressure on him? Yeah,

872
00:43:42,760 --> 00:43:44,839
Speaker 1: and Brady. Look last year when all three were healthy

873
00:43:44,840 --> 00:43:47,919
Speaker 1: in that game, Yeah, Brady still got his right. Well,

874
00:43:47,960 --> 00:43:50,560
Speaker 1: you've improved the secondary with Colvin and Tyrann Matthew and

875
00:43:50,560 --> 00:43:52,720
Speaker 1: I would imagine you're gonna add draft picked to it.

876
00:43:52,719 --> 00:43:54,600
Speaker 1: Brought you out to Joseph back. If he's healthy and

877
00:43:54,640 --> 00:43:56,800
Speaker 1: not having to play every single play, that's a positive

878
00:43:56,800 --> 00:43:59,520
Speaker 1: as well. Kevin Johnson coming back healthy, who didn't play

879
00:43:59,760 --> 00:44:02,239
Speaker 1: against the New England Patriots last year, if his play

880
00:44:02,320 --> 00:44:04,160
Speaker 1: is picked up now all a sudden, it's a little

881
00:44:04,160 --> 00:44:07,920
Speaker 1: bit better situation. But you've got to be able to

882
00:44:07,960 --> 00:44:10,560
Speaker 1: put heen on Brady and you can get it with

883
00:44:10,600 --> 00:44:14,960
Speaker 1: those three guys. That's the Eagles proved, Brandon Graham, Fletcher Cox,

884
00:44:15,280 --> 00:44:17,240
Speaker 1: those guys were all able to get to the quarterback

885
00:44:17,440 --> 00:44:20,239
Speaker 1: and make life miserable for Brady, especially in the fourth quarter. Now,

886
00:44:20,239 --> 00:44:21,799
Speaker 1: they didn't make his life miserable for the whole game,

887
00:44:21,920 --> 00:44:25,080
Speaker 1: and the fourth quarter wouldn't mattered. They got there, so

888
00:44:25,160 --> 00:44:28,680
Speaker 1: Bill appreciate it very much, but I would really like

889
00:44:28,760 --> 00:44:33,480
Speaker 1: to keep Whitney merciless instead. I will say nay to

890
00:44:33,600 --> 00:44:37,040
Speaker 1: that deal. Thank you very much. Gotta thank Mark for

891
00:44:37,080 --> 00:44:39,160
Speaker 1: stopping by. I gotta thank Drew for stopping by. I

892
00:44:39,160 --> 00:44:41,600
Speaker 1: gotta thank my guys back into studio at Sports Trade

893
00:44:41,600 --> 00:44:44,160
Speaker 1: of six ten for getting the show on the air

894
00:44:44,280 --> 00:44:47,040
Speaker 1: and up and going. But I gotta thank mostly you

895
00:44:47,040 --> 00:44:49,600
Speaker 1: guys for listening. Thank you so much. We'll see you tomorrow, everybody,

896
00:44:49,640 --> 00:44:50,840
Speaker 1: and as always, go Texans.
