1
00:00:01,160 --> 00:00:04,200
Speaker 1: This is a young team. We're on the cus. They're

2
00:00:04,280 --> 00:00:05,240
Speaker 1: hungry to get better.

3
00:00:05,640 --> 00:00:08,480
Speaker 2: Pierce Lightning right Spindo Barrows's way down on the forty

4
00:00:08,520 --> 00:00:09,280
Speaker 2: one yard line.

5
00:00:09,280 --> 00:00:10,600
Speaker 3: Who want to run by Piers?

6
00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:12,799
Speaker 4: These are the type of guys, the type of men

7
00:00:13,080 --> 00:00:14,520
Speaker 4: that we want in our locker room.

8
00:00:14,640 --> 00:00:16,640
Speaker 2: Tend her stopped Christian Harris.

9
00:00:16,760 --> 00:00:20,520
Speaker 1: Game day is every day. I love the energy, Hicks.

10
00:00:20,280 --> 00:00:24,520
Speaker 2: Top by state Ley po trade, Texans out the ball

11
00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:25,360
Speaker 2: on the pit.

12
00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:29,360
Speaker 1: And if you want it, you gotta go working now.

13
00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:32,160
Speaker 5: It's Texans all exits.

14
00:00:32,680 --> 00:00:33,760
Speaker 1: Oh yes it is.

15
00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:35,920
Speaker 2: And someone's gonna have to throw a fucking of water

16
00:00:36,040 --> 00:00:39,120
Speaker 2: over me because I am so fired up tonight. And

17
00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:41,120
Speaker 2: it's not just because it's one hundred and four degrees

18
00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:44,839
Speaker 2: or whatever it is. It's because joint practices in the

19
00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:49,520
Speaker 2: books and game time Saturday at three Baby NRG Stadium,

20
00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:52,960
Speaker 2: preseason home opener, and in fact it's the only preseason

21
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:55,440
Speaker 2: home game, so it's the opener, the closer and everything

22
00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:59,440
Speaker 2: in between, and the regular season home opener September seventeenth

23
00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:05,240
Speaker 2: against the Nemesis Indianapolis Colts season opener at Baltimore September tenth.

24
00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:08,000
Speaker 3: Take notes and take notes of this or take note

25
00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:08,800
Speaker 3: of this three.

26
00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:13,680
Speaker 2: O'clock Saturday Rare home afternoon preseason tilt, and we'll all

27
00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:17,040
Speaker 2: be there taking in the action. It's Mark vandermir John Harris,

28
00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:21,000
Speaker 2: and because it's Thursday night, it's the General joining us.

29
00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:24,640
Speaker 2: John McClain. All right, John, you were out there joint

30
00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:27,680
Speaker 2: practices and I know you'll be there Saturday.

31
00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:30,399
Speaker 3: Are you as fired up as I am?

32
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:31,120
Speaker 6: Oh?

33
00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:34,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, man, I can't wait to get out there for Thursday.

34
00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:38,399
Speaker 4: From Saturday afternoon on my feet or not touching the ground.

35
00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:40,039
Speaker 4: It's a good thing. I got a roof on my

36
00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:44,880
Speaker 4: house or i'd been floating away. I'm so excited that

37
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:45,600
Speaker 4: close enough.

38
00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:49,040
Speaker 2: No, that didn't sound good, but I'll take your word

39
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:51,440
Speaker 2: for it anyway. So tell me what were your thoughts

40
00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:53,920
Speaker 2: on what you saw last couple of days Miami and

41
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:56,840
Speaker 2: the Houston Texans getting together at the Houston Methodist Training Center.

42
00:01:57,320 --> 00:02:02,160
Speaker 4: I just followed columns Portrayo sixteen that's posted about highlights

43
00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:05,600
Speaker 4: and low lights, and it was obvious to me the defense,

44
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:08,200
Speaker 4: for the most part, is ahead of the offense. Defense

45
00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:11,120
Speaker 4: is easier to learn. They got a lot of talent

46
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:14,160
Speaker 4: on that defense. You know, got the third overall pick

47
00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:17,720
Speaker 4: the last two years. You got Jalen Petree, you got

48
00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:22,560
Speaker 4: some veterans. Demiko rians is a great defensive coach, and

49
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:25,919
Speaker 4: so they made some big plays, the biggest of course

50
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:28,600
Speaker 4: being Pee Tries picked six on the last play of

51
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:31,880
Speaker 4: practice Wednesday. I was standing there as he ran in

52
00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:34,480
Speaker 4: front of me and they celebrated the end zone. And

53
00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:37,440
Speaker 4: then when they went out the gate and into the

54
00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:41,639
Speaker 4: area that leads into the actual practice building, the facility,

55
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:44,280
Speaker 4: and the whole team was there. It wasn't just a

56
00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:48,400
Speaker 4: few our sideline celebrated. You know, Demiko said earlier in

57
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:51,320
Speaker 4: camp he wants to him celebrate big plays. Well, they

58
00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:55,040
Speaker 4: celebrated that one earlier Christian Harrison had a pick six.

59
00:02:55,639 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 4: And the things that stood out to me both days,

60
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:03,600
Speaker 4: he's a tank down. You know, it's like he's got

61
00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:06,840
Speaker 4: grease on his uniform. They reach out to try to

62
00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:10,080
Speaker 4: get him and he slips some. He's very slippery, and

63
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:13,560
Speaker 4: of course he's quick. Once he goes full speed, plants

64
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:16,880
Speaker 4: his foot makes his cut, the corner's still going backwards.

65
00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:20,400
Speaker 4: You know, they can should be able to get in

66
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:24,520
Speaker 4: on him on some hook routes, on some slants. He's

67
00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:28,760
Speaker 4: just so exciting. Nico Collins made two great catches today.

68
00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:33,360
Speaker 4: One he got separation at about to ten and Stroud

69
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:36,760
Speaker 4: couldn't have thrown a prettier mom at right in front

70
00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:40,160
Speaker 4: of the fence. They went crazy. Later, a quick slant

71
00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:42,520
Speaker 4: over the middle, he had hel up al on him.

72
00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:46,680
Speaker 4: He got separation on that, And just reminding me about

73
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:51,680
Speaker 4: how tantalizing Nico Collins can be, and right when you

74
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:55,200
Speaker 4: get fired up about him and you see big plays

75
00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:59,000
Speaker 4: made like that, like last year, he gets hurt. If

76
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:02,440
Speaker 4: he stays healthy and becomes the receiver he's capable of.

77
00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:05,880
Speaker 4: Ben Cassario is gonna give him a big extension. He's

78
00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:08,320
Speaker 4: gonna make a lot of money because he's in third

79
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:11,360
Speaker 4: year of the four year contract. And Noah Brown, who

80
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:17,320
Speaker 4: continues to impress play inside outside great size. He made

81
00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:22,280
Speaker 4: a spectacular catch in the corner. I don't know who

82
00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:26,120
Speaker 4: was covering him, but it was great coverage. He went up,

83
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:28,839
Speaker 4: he caught the ball, he went down in the end zone,

84
00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:31,320
Speaker 4: he held it. That was in front of the media,

85
00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:34,120
Speaker 4: so of course there's no cheering. If that catch had

86
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:37,560
Speaker 4: been on Nico Collins's side, fans would have gone bonkers

87
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:41,320
Speaker 4: for that too. But those plays were outstanding. And then

88
00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:44,760
Speaker 4: watching I was just ask on my San Antonio station

89
00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:47,880
Speaker 4: they really liked Dalton Schultz and one of the host

90
00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:50,760
Speaker 4: hates that he got away from the Cowboys. And I

91
00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:54,600
Speaker 4: think about all the plays Dalton Schultz is making, especially

92
00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:57,600
Speaker 4: down the middle of the field. You know he's going

93
00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:00,760
Speaker 4: to be a player that C is going to be

94
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:03,360
Speaker 4: collaborating with a lot.

95
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:05,680
Speaker 1: General.

96
00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:11,400
Speaker 6: You mentioned a number of perimeter players, wide receivers, tight ends.

97
00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:14,800
Speaker 6: I watched a lot of the offensive line this week,

98
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:19,040
Speaker 6: and there's no Titus Howard. So I want to ask

99
00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:23,440
Speaker 6: you your thoughts about not having Titus. And I'd like

100
00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:25,680
Speaker 6: to feel good about him being ready for Week one,

101
00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:28,119
Speaker 6: and I won't panic too much if he is ready

102
00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:32,480
Speaker 6: to go week one, but if he's not, I am

103
00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:35,719
Speaker 6: ready to panic with what they've got to tackle position

104
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:38,680
Speaker 6: right now. How I don't want to say how bad

105
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:41,599
Speaker 6: is it? But how bad is it without Titus that

106
00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:42,159
Speaker 6: right tackle?

107
00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:46,320
Speaker 4: We know it's bad now. The Dolphins got a really

108
00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:50,960
Speaker 4: good defensive line and they overpowered the Texans up the middle.

109
00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:54,799
Speaker 4: You know Laromie Johnson's Laromie. You know, Laramie's best pass

110
00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:57,800
Speaker 4: protector in the NFL. He's not an issue. You got

111
00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:02,359
Speaker 4: Kenyon Green and left guard coming up mediocre rookie season

112
00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:05,359
Speaker 4: and he was hurt. Now he's healthy, he's got to

113
00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:08,560
Speaker 4: be better. Juice Scruggs is a rookie. He's gonna struggle

114
00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:11,920
Speaker 4: like all rookies do. And then right guard Sack Mason

115
00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:14,680
Speaker 4: will play in this game, but the right tackle is

116
00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:19,440
Speaker 4: going to be George Fant, and Fant did about well.

117
00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:23,160
Speaker 4: You know, if this is a season, you know he's competent,

118
00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:27,599
Speaker 4: but that's stuff starting five, and when they get the backups,

119
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:31,200
Speaker 4: that's when it's an issue. You know, he lost Quisonberry

120
00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:36,320
Speaker 4: at the starting center, they lost Titus and Nick Caserio

121
00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:39,760
Speaker 4: keeps signing tackles, which shows you how desperate they are.

122
00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:42,280
Speaker 4: So they got problems on the right side, and they

123
00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:45,479
Speaker 4: got problems up the middle. Other than that, they're five.

124
00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:49,040
Speaker 2: John McClain with US Sports Radio six ten dot com

125
00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:53,080
Speaker 2: General Dimiko Ryan says, he's playing everybody on Saturday. Everybody's available,

126
00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:56,040
Speaker 2: everybody who practiced. How do you feel about that? How

127
00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:58,880
Speaker 2: much Damian Pierce do you think we'll see? Because I

128
00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:03,400
Speaker 2: think that's a pretty interesting player to play. I'm not

129
00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:05,560
Speaker 2: going to criticize it at all because I think they

130
00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:08,800
Speaker 2: do need to find a rhythm on offense. Pierce is

131
00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:12,960
Speaker 2: so valuable, run so hard preseason context, you hope he's careful.

132
00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:16,400
Speaker 4: I wouldn't let Damian Pierce touch the ball more than

133
00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:18,520
Speaker 4: three or four times, and I'd get him out of there.

134
00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:22,880
Speaker 4: Let those young backs get the bulk of the carries.

135
00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:25,680
Speaker 4: You know, rookie quarterback needs to work with his line,

136
00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:28,560
Speaker 4: he needs to work with his with his receivers. But

137
00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:30,560
Speaker 4: it doesn't take a lot to hand the ball off.

138
00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:35,200
Speaker 4: And uh Pierce has looked great in those joint practices.

139
00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:38,640
Speaker 4: They love Singletary because of what he brings as a

140
00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:41,640
Speaker 4: receiver and the runner. And people think because he's short,

141
00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:44,440
Speaker 4: he can't run inside, but he can't. Just like duce

142
00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:48,040
Speaker 4: Van in Dallas. He ran inside Kansas State every year,

143
00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:51,280
Speaker 4: and he's running inside the NFL. Just because you're short,

144
00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:55,600
Speaker 4: if you're stocking like they are muscular, they can. They can.

145
00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:59,680
Speaker 4: They can make some money running between the tackles. You

146
00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:03,760
Speaker 4: need that you need. We'd like to see Strout to

147
00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:06,840
Speaker 4: get some time to throw, to see if he makes

148
00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:10,160
Speaker 4: the right to see him and if he puts ball, werre'

149
00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:13,160
Speaker 4: supposed to go. He had some great plays at camp.

150
00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:16,840
Speaker 4: He missed some open receivers, he missed some covered receivers.

151
00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:19,800
Speaker 4: I didn't see anything from him I wouldn't expect from

152
00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:24,679
Speaker 4: a rookie quarterback, going back to David Carr's first training camp,

153
00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:29,400
Speaker 4: and so I think it's good the starters. Starters will

154
00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:31,680
Speaker 4: be in for a little bit, but we have no

155
00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:35,960
Speaker 4: idea how much. But these joint practices are great for Laramie.

156
00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:39,560
Speaker 4: Console does Laramie. Laramie didn't need to play for Laramie.

157
00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:42,320
Speaker 4: Laramie needs to play for seed shape.

158
00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:45,600
Speaker 6: And along those lines general, how much do you think

159
00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:48,360
Speaker 6: the starters end up playing? Demiko Ryans said today's press

160
00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:51,800
Speaker 6: conference the starters, he said everybody would play, or at

161
00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:52,840
Speaker 6: least CJ's plans.

162
00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:55,040
Speaker 1: I'm assuming the starters are gonna play. Maybe he doesn't.

163
00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:57,200
Speaker 6: What are your thoughts about this weekend and how they

164
00:08:57,240 --> 00:08:59,880
Speaker 6: handle the reps against the Dolphins Saturday afternoon.

165
00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:03,920
Speaker 4: I'm guessing with case keenam out that they don't need

166
00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:07,840
Speaker 4: to see Jay Perry. So I'm open Strive plays at

167
00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:11,040
Speaker 4: least a quarter into the second quarter, maybe the first half.

168
00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:14,240
Speaker 4: He needs to play because he's got to be better

169
00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:18,760
Speaker 4: than he was almost two series last week because he

170
00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:23,520
Speaker 4: was under pressure the whole time, and Kenyan Green needs

171
00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:27,680
Speaker 4: to play, Jude Scruggs needs to play, the right tackles,

172
00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:30,240
Speaker 4: the backups needs to play. But I'll tell you a

173
00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:33,160
Speaker 4: lot of those veterans will play a quarter. No know

174
00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:35,559
Speaker 4: how they're going to do that last game. But why

175
00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:37,280
Speaker 4: of that, I think depends on how they do it

176
00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:40,600
Speaker 4: and the practices against the Saints until they have two

177
00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:44,920
Speaker 4: of those Evan Fortunoint practices, to me, is better than

178
00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:47,520
Speaker 4: having a full four quarters in a preseason game.

179
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:50,920
Speaker 2: General, you talked about Miami's defensive line. A few things

180
00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:54,040
Speaker 2: about the Dolphins. How good is this football team? I

181
00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:57,000
Speaker 2: know Toronto Armstead had an injury today, but he says

182
00:09:57,000 --> 00:09:59,880
Speaker 2: he's gonna be okay, and everybody's got bumps and bruises

183
00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:02,760
Speaker 2: not more. But tell me about the Dolphins at relatively

184
00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:03,760
Speaker 2: full health.

185
00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:05,080
Speaker 3: How good are they.

186
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:05,319
Speaker 1: Going to be?

187
00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:08,600
Speaker 2: In the AFC East where I don't think the Patriots

188
00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:11,400
Speaker 2: are going to finish out of fourth unless the other

189
00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:15,199
Speaker 2: teams have massive injury or meltdown issues.

190
00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:18,600
Speaker 4: I agree hundred percent, mark they're destined for last place.

191
00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:21,960
Speaker 4: And the Dolphins, if you think what they did last

192
00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:23,920
Speaker 4: year when two a ton of our Lawyer was healthy

193
00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:27,160
Speaker 4: in their offense, was the biggest best in the NFL,

194
00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:29,199
Speaker 4: throwing the ball down the field, and they got off

195
00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:32,720
Speaker 4: to a great start. Then he got hurt again. He's

196
00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:35,800
Speaker 4: hurt every season, so odds are he's going to be

197
00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:41,040
Speaker 4: hurt no matter how much jiu jitsu he is practiced

198
00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:43,560
Speaker 4: to help him learn how to fall and not hit

199
00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:46,920
Speaker 4: his head, and that's one thing in jiu jitsu. I'm

200
00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:50,280
Speaker 4: the ex martial arts expert, but I'm pretty sure they

201
00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:53,400
Speaker 4: don't have six five, three hundred pound people hitting them

202
00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:55,440
Speaker 4: try and take their head off on every place. So

203
00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:58,559
Speaker 4: if he stays healthy, they're capable of winning that division.

204
00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:01,679
Speaker 4: They're capable of going super saw the Jets and swing

205
00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:05,559
Speaker 4: the Bills, so it's gonna be tough. I'm still shocked

206
00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:08,080
Speaker 4: they didn't go after dal and Cook because if you

207
00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:11,400
Speaker 4: look at their running backs, you know, nobody stands out.

208
00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:13,880
Speaker 4: You go by committee. That's mine, but to still have

209
00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:17,200
Speaker 4: don't have anybody that stands out. He's from Miami, he

210
00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:19,960
Speaker 4: played at Florida State. Seems to be a natural. But

211
00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:23,120
Speaker 4: kudos to the Jets. They now have three running backs

212
00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:24,440
Speaker 4: when brace Hall is healthy.

213
00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:29,520
Speaker 6: Okay, I'm gonna make a pretty bold statement here after

214
00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:34,760
Speaker 6: watching this Dolphins offense one without Jalen Waddle today, when

215
00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:39,439
Speaker 6: Tyreek Hill was in the lineup, their dophense was pretty explosive.

216
00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:42,599
Speaker 6: When Tyreek Hill was out or took a break or

217
00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:46,120
Speaker 6: was out for a stretch, that offense did absolutely nothing.

218
00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:49,080
Speaker 6: For most teams in the league, it's the quarterback who's

219
00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:52,800
Speaker 6: the most important player. For the Dolphins, it's Tyreek Hill.

220
00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:58,719
Speaker 6: Tyreek Hill changes absolutely everything for that team and what

221
00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:01,400
Speaker 6: it wants to do and how it's constructed and plays

222
00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:03,400
Speaker 6: it runs to a tongue of iolo.

223
00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:04,400
Speaker 1: Is extremely important.

224
00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:06,360
Speaker 6: But you took them out and you put Mike White

225
00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:08,600
Speaker 6: in there. As long as Mike White's got Tyreek Hill,

226
00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:12,080
Speaker 6: let'd be fine. Skylar Thompson, as long as he's got Tyreek.

227
00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:13,360
Speaker 1: Hill, that offense will be fine.

228
00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:15,800
Speaker 6: They don't have Tyreek Hill, it doesn't matter if Dan

229
00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:19,600
Speaker 6: Marino's throwing the ball. That offense is going to struggle,

230
00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:22,640
Speaker 6: no doubt. But general you said earlier that defense for

231
00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:25,200
Speaker 6: Miami's I on record as saying that's the top five

232
00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:27,439
Speaker 6: defense in the league. And I think they're going to

233
00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:29,640
Speaker 6: be in the mix because of that defense. And if

234
00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:32,560
Speaker 6: to it is healthy with Tyreek, then I think that

235
00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:36,160
Speaker 6: offense can be just what it was general after watching

236
00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:41,079
Speaker 6: two joint practices, all of training camp, in one preseason game,

237
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:45,720
Speaker 6: is there any kind of new concern you have after

238
00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:49,080
Speaker 6: now getting a good feel for what the Texans have

239
00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:49,720
Speaker 6: or don't have.

240
00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:52,280
Speaker 1: Is there any kind of real concern that you're like, Man,

241
00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:52,600
Speaker 1: you know what.

242
00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:54,520
Speaker 6: I hadn't thought about that, but now that I see

243
00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:57,560
Speaker 6: it in practice, I'm a little bit more concerned about this.

244
00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:03,600
Speaker 4: No, the the problems is offensive line. As we all know,

245
00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:07,040
Speaker 4: they need to go to receiver. I'm not saying Tank

246
00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:10,760
Speaker 4: Dell is going to be Tyreek Hill, but I'm watching

247
00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:14,560
Speaker 4: him in practice now. Hill is a lot stock here

248
00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:17,880
Speaker 4: and he makes all of his plays. When he gets

249
00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:21,080
Speaker 4: the ball, he makes great moves because he's so quick,

250
00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:24,319
Speaker 4: and then he has a great speed. I want to

251
00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:26,760
Speaker 4: see TANKDLL get the ball in his hands like you

252
00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:28,920
Speaker 4: did in the first game and like he did in

253
00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:31,560
Speaker 4: the practices. And I'm not saying he can be Hill,

254
00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:33,960
Speaker 4: but he is the only guy on the team capable

255
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:37,280
Speaker 4: of touching the ball and scoring every time. And I

256
00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:42,520
Speaker 4: think that would help so much CJ. Stroud's development. And

257
00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:46,079
Speaker 4: if I had to pick, I feel really good about

258
00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:50,960
Speaker 4: the secondary. Jimmy Ward has brought a tenacity. You know,

259
00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:53,920
Speaker 4: he likes to mix things up. He knows what Demiko

260
00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:57,920
Speaker 4: Ryans wants. When Dimiko says something to the media, he's

261
00:13:57,960 --> 00:14:02,040
Speaker 4: talking to the players and Jimmy Ward knows what he's saying.

262
00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:05,880
Speaker 4: And I think Peetree showed he's going to be a

263
00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:10,280
Speaker 4: big time player. Derek Stingley looked great in the joint practices.

264
00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:13,880
Speaker 4: One thing I liked yesterday, thirty minutes after practice, he

265
00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:17,440
Speaker 4: and John Mitchi were out there. Mitchie, he was jamming him,

266
00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:20,560
Speaker 4: working with him, getting off the line of scrimmage, getting

267
00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:23,040
Speaker 4: into his route, and then they'd stop and Stingley would

268
00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:26,080
Speaker 4: talk to Metchi, Matchie would talk to Stingley about what

269
00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:29,000
Speaker 4: he was doing. They did that for thirty minutes and

270
00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:32,400
Speaker 4: that was so impressive that Jaln Petrie was out there

271
00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:34,960
Speaker 4: with him today. I love the fact. I like it

272
00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:38,200
Speaker 4: when the practice is over and players are milling around

273
00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:41,280
Speaker 4: with their family and friends. You see guys work and

274
00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:44,600
Speaker 4: Dalton souls over there on the chugs gut. I think

275
00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:47,320
Speaker 4: I feel better as long as he's HEALTHYQ with Toriano's

276
00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:50,440
Speaker 4: back about tight end, I think the receivers are going

277
00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:53,840
Speaker 4: to be good enough. Thank gives them a weapon we

278
00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:57,440
Speaker 4: didn't know what develop as fast as he has pass rush,

279
00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:00,320
Speaker 4: run stop. You know the run stops. It's going to

280
00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:02,680
Speaker 4: be an issue until it isn't. And we're not going

281
00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:05,000
Speaker 4: to know that until we see him going up against

282
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:07,240
Speaker 4: a team that runs the ball a lot more than

283
00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:10,600
Speaker 4: it throws it, and that would be Baltimore, and then coming

284
00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:13,920
Speaker 4: in against another quarterback that's going to run it like crazy.

285
00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:16,520
Speaker 4: But we don't know about the run defense because they

286
00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:19,200
Speaker 4: haven't been able to go all out. But that's something

287
00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:22,080
Speaker 4: that's got to be a concern until they prove they

288
00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:24,480
Speaker 4: can be better than the last four years.

289
00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:26,240
Speaker 3: John McLean joining US General.

290
00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:30,080
Speaker 2: It's time for a brief history moment here as the

291
00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:34,400
Speaker 2: Dolphins could have come in here in Houston and warn

292
00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:40,000
Speaker 2: a fifty on their uniforms, an emblem that says fifty

293
00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:41,120
Speaker 2: on their uniform.

294
00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:42,520
Speaker 3: Do you know why?

295
00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:47,600
Speaker 4: Well, see, it's not the fifty year anniversary of the AFL.

296
00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:49,720
Speaker 4: Is it Miami's fifty year anniversary.

297
00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:52,720
Speaker 2: It's the fiftieth anniversary of when they won their last

298
00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:56,320
Speaker 2: Super Bowl, which was right here in Houston at Rice Stadium,

299
00:15:56,600 --> 00:15:59,320
Speaker 2: when they knocked off the Vikings, and I bet even

300
00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:02,360
Speaker 2: they don't know that, but I know you knew that

301
00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:03,880
Speaker 2: that right stadium was.

302
00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:06,040
Speaker 4: One of the worst Super Bowls in history.

303
00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:09,360
Speaker 2: Well, the Dolphins would disagree. That was the last one

304
00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:11,360
Speaker 2: they won. And you know what, that was the first

305
00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:14,000
Speaker 2: Super Bowl Houston had. Houston has actually had three. A

306
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:15,720
Speaker 2: lot of people know that, a lot of people don't.

307
00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:18,720
Speaker 2: But your thoughts on that were you You weren't in

308
00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:21,040
Speaker 2: the business yet right when that occurred.

309
00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:25,600
Speaker 4: What year was that, seventy two, seventy three, seventy three, Yeah, yeah,

310
00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:27,200
Speaker 4: I was in the business. I was in my second

311
00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:29,040
Speaker 4: year at the wake up tribute Arrow while I was

312
00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:33,400
Speaker 4: a junior Baylor and that I remember that game. All

313
00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:36,440
Speaker 4: they did was complain about how bad Rice Stadium was,

314
00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:41,000
Speaker 4: how bad the practice facilities were. It was complaining all

315
00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:44,440
Speaker 4: week and then the game kind of fit the complaining.

316
00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:47,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was a super Bowl black Life, what are

317
00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:47,520
Speaker 3: you gonna do?

318
00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:50,400
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean it was a low scoring super Bowl,

319
00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:52,960
Speaker 6: but it was because the Vikings got absolutely dominated by

320
00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:57,520
Speaker 6: the Dolphins. Speaking of the Vikings, General Treylon Burks against

321
00:16:57,520 --> 00:17:01,760
Speaker 6: the Vikings came down with am It's Sprain L C. L.

322
00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:05,280
Speaker 6: Sprain they say he's gonna be out weeks, that's the number.

323
00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:09,320
Speaker 1: If that is six to eight weeks.

324
00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:14,639
Speaker 6: General, how much is that Tennessee offense impacted without Treylon Burks.

325
00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:16,840
Speaker 4: He was up and down as a rookie, so we

326
00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:20,080
Speaker 4: don't know. Bringing and DeAndre Hopkins was supposed to help

327
00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:23,800
Speaker 4: Burgs wan't attact the Texans because they don't play himntill December,

328
00:17:23,840 --> 00:17:27,040
Speaker 4: but when he should be back. But when you take

329
00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:29,600
Speaker 4: away guy was a number one pick with such high

330
00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:33,399
Speaker 4: expectations for this season, then that's got to hurt their opense.

331
00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:35,000
Speaker 4: It just means they're going to run Derek in or

332
00:17:35,119 --> 00:17:35,600
Speaker 4: even more.

333
00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:39,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, and will Levis shake it up today. We don't

334
00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:42,400
Speaker 2: know the end result of that unless something's broken between

335
00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:46,040
Speaker 2: when it happened and now that I haven't seen. But

336
00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:49,560
Speaker 2: Malik Willis played last week, showed some things. They were

337
00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:53,320
Speaker 2: alternating quarterbacks in their preseason game against the Bears.

338
00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:55,080
Speaker 3: What do you think of doing something like that?

339
00:17:56,240 --> 00:17:59,400
Speaker 4: Well, well, first of all, they need to give Milake

340
00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:02,400
Speaker 4: Willi's play time because he was offful last year when

341
00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:05,080
Speaker 4: they had to play him when Ryan Tanneo went down

342
00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:08,119
Speaker 4: in the twelfth game, and I mean they struggled you know,

343
00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:10,680
Speaker 4: if Ryan Tannel was playing, they would have won the division.

344
00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:12,600
Speaker 4: They lost the last game when they had a chance

345
00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:15,200
Speaker 4: to win the division and went out with a whimper,

346
00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:18,240
Speaker 4: not a bang. Because Brabo is a pretty good coach

347
00:18:18,760 --> 00:18:22,119
Speaker 4: and he's got a great running back, and they they

348
00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:25,639
Speaker 4: it wouldn't surprise me if they won the division. Wouldn't

349
00:18:25,640 --> 00:18:31,199
Speaker 4: surprise me if they finished third, because they had they

350
00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:34,080
Speaker 4: not many teams have to rebuild an offensive line like

351
00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:36,800
Speaker 4: they did, and there's no guarantee it's going to be good.

352
00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:40,320
Speaker 4: And losing guy like Burks as long as they got

353
00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:42,800
Speaker 4: Henry though, now if they lose them like they did

354
00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:44,960
Speaker 4: two years ago when he missed after the season or

355
00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:48,560
Speaker 4: nine games, then it'll be time to push that panic

356
00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:49,760
Speaker 4: button in Nashville.

357
00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:51,639
Speaker 6: General, I know it's been a couple of days with

358
00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:54,520
Speaker 6: the Dolphins, but you know, joy practice is being back

359
00:18:55,520 --> 00:18:58,240
Speaker 6: since since COVID. I mean the Texans didn't partake in

360
00:18:58,280 --> 00:19:00,600
Speaker 6: any in twenty twenty two, in particular, I guess they

361
00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:03,760
Speaker 6: could have done in twenty twenty one. But just your

362
00:19:03,800 --> 00:19:06,560
Speaker 6: thought about the joint practice, I mean, it's happening all

363
00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:09,119
Speaker 6: over the league. Do you think it's something that the

364
00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:12,800
Speaker 6: NFL will will change in due time where they'll go

365
00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:15,959
Speaker 6: to two preseason games, but you know they'll have you know,

366
00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:18,760
Speaker 6: I don't want to say mandatory joint practices, but they'll

367
00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:21,320
Speaker 6: force teams to get together as much as they do. Now,

368
00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:22,840
Speaker 6: how do you kind of look at the joint practice

369
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:25,040
Speaker 6: situation now that we've got them back after COVID.

370
00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:28,880
Speaker 4: First of all, they're absolutely going to two preseason games

371
00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:32,439
Speaker 4: because they're absolutely going to eighteen regular season games, and

372
00:19:32,560 --> 00:19:36,240
Speaker 4: coaches are gonna want the joint practices. Now, somebody said,

373
00:19:36,320 --> 00:19:40,359
Speaker 4: if you eliminate the third preseason game and find a

374
00:19:40,359 --> 00:19:44,199
Speaker 4: way to play, have joint practices in the stadium and

375
00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:48,080
Speaker 4: charge amount money, some owners don't lose money. The owners

376
00:19:48,080 --> 00:19:50,840
Speaker 4: are never gonna do that. You know, they'll have two

377
00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:54,639
Speaker 4: preseason games when there's eighteen regular season games, so they

378
00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:57,760
Speaker 4: don't lose any money. They'll make more. But because they

379
00:19:58,040 --> 00:20:02,280
Speaker 4: play the players so little in preseason, that's why our

380
00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:05,600
Speaker 4: coaches loved to have practices against other teams because you

381
00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:09,679
Speaker 4: can see everything you want. They're scripted. And uh, I

382
00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:14,200
Speaker 4: think you know big Fanjjo Texans first defensive coordinator Dick

383
00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:17,800
Speaker 4: Big came back this year and that defense is going

384
00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:19,720
Speaker 4: to be even better because he's one of the best

385
00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:23,639
Speaker 4: in history, and having him and Bobby Slow script everything,

386
00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:26,080
Speaker 4: and then they had periods where there was not They

387
00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:30,480
Speaker 4: weren't scripting it. They got it exactly the way Denico

388
00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:34,800
Speaker 4: Ryans and Mike McDaniel wanted it. And the first coach

389
00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:39,080
Speaker 4: I ever heard talk about how much he loved joint

390
00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:42,919
Speaker 4: practices and would give up preseason games in a minute

391
00:20:43,359 --> 00:20:46,240
Speaker 4: to have more was Bill O'Brien and talked about because

392
00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:51,280
Speaker 4: you can control everything, and I agree, and I coaches

393
00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:53,680
Speaker 4: love them, so I don't think the league will ever

394
00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:56,879
Speaker 4: make them do them. But it's I don't think Cowboys

395
00:20:56,920 --> 00:21:00,600
Speaker 4: had a joint practice, and I don't think they are.

396
00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:03,679
Speaker 4: Dak Prescott won't play in the preseason. It'd be interesting

397
00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:05,480
Speaker 4: to see what kind of start he gets off. But

398
00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:08,119
Speaker 4: their coaches love them, so they got to get a

399
00:21:08,119 --> 00:21:08,800
Speaker 4: lot out of them.

400
00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:11,640
Speaker 2: General shed some light on the Hall of Fame selection

401
00:21:11,800 --> 00:21:14,919
Speaker 2: here the twelve person committee that selected Buddy Parker, a

402
00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:19,280
Speaker 2: former NFL coach, to get in to Canton in twenty

403
00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:23,160
Speaker 2: twenty four. And there's a big group of coaches waiting here,

404
00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:27,760
Speaker 2: like Tom Coughlin, Mike Holmgren, Marty Schottenheimer, Mike Shanahan. We

405
00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:31,080
Speaker 2: don't have to debate all those guys necessarily, but your

406
00:21:31,119 --> 00:21:34,240
Speaker 2: thoughts on what went down with Buddy Parker, and I'm

407
00:21:34,280 --> 00:21:37,600
Speaker 2: surprised Shanahan isn't in, so I guess I just editorialized

408
00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:38,280
Speaker 2: a little bit there.

409
00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:41,240
Speaker 4: I'm not on the Coach Contributors Committee. I'm on the

410
00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:45,800
Speaker 4: Veterans Committee. We meet Tuesday, a week after them. Buddy

411
00:21:45,800 --> 00:21:48,280
Speaker 4: Parker should have been a long time ago. I'll say

412
00:21:48,359 --> 00:21:51,840
Speaker 4: two things about it. He won two championships with the Lions.

413
00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:55,240
Speaker 4: Let that seat in a little bit. And he also

414
00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:58,919
Speaker 4: dominated Paul Brown and the Browns one of the greatest

415
00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:03,000
Speaker 4: coaches in his He only lost one game to Paul Brown.

416
00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:06,400
Speaker 4: Now he left the Lions and he won another championship

417
00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:09,120
Speaker 4: with his players because he was hired by the Steelers

418
00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:11,639
Speaker 4: where he had a winning record. But to me, based

419
00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:15,439
Speaker 4: on dominating Paul Brown and winning two championships, especially with

420
00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:19,000
Speaker 4: the Lions, then I think you deserve to be in

421
00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:21,720
Speaker 4: Hall of Fame. And of those others you mentioned, I

422
00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:26,200
Speaker 4: think Mike Shanahan deserves to go in over over Mike

423
00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:30,159
Speaker 4: Holgrean because he won two Super Bowls. Now, he had

424
00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:33,840
Speaker 4: a great quarterback John Elway. I was talking to Joe

425
00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:38,760
Speaker 4: Gibbs last week about Joja Kobe, who's a senior finalist,

426
00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:40,919
Speaker 4: and I think we should have put him in before

427
00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:44,680
Speaker 4: Russ Grim. And you know, I reminded Gibbs, all these

428
00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:49,160
Speaker 4: great coaches have great quarterbacks. He didn't. He won three

429
00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:52,520
Speaker 4: Super Bowls with a different quarterback, none of them too.

430
00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:54,679
Speaker 4: You had even put in the same sentence with the

431
00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:58,119
Speaker 4: Super Bowl, and yet nobody ever talks about Joe gibsbying

432
00:22:58,119 --> 00:22:59,879
Speaker 4: the greatest coach in history.

433
00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:00,719
Speaker 1: General.

434
00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:05,720
Speaker 6: The Browns play the Eagles tonight. I don't know whether

435
00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:07,879
Speaker 6: Deshaun Watson is gonna play. It sounds like maybe not

436
00:23:07,920 --> 00:23:12,040
Speaker 6: because they had joint practices this week, But getting to

437
00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:15,359
Speaker 6: see DeShawn last week and hearing some of the things

438
00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:20,640
Speaker 6: out of Cleveland, it doesn't sound as if the passing

439
00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:23,800
Speaker 6: game is really clicking for Watson.

440
00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:26,480
Speaker 1: How bad a sign do you think that is?

441
00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:30,199
Speaker 6: And if that continues, how long before Kevin Stefanski is

442
00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:34,480
Speaker 6: put on a serious hot seat, as in, he may

443
00:23:34,520 --> 00:23:35,879
Speaker 6: not make it out of this week.

444
00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:40,280
Speaker 4: Well, he's not gonna be gone anytime soon, but his

445
00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:44,080
Speaker 4: job's in jeopardy this season, and I think that he

446
00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:47,320
Speaker 4: signed off on to Seawan, But that was the has

447
00:23:47,359 --> 00:23:50,439
Speaker 4: On's warning really bad. That's why they're willing to give

448
00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:52,960
Speaker 4: him two hundred and thirty million guarantee. A couple of

449
00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:54,919
Speaker 4: friends of mine to cover the team said, when you

450
00:23:54,960 --> 00:23:58,320
Speaker 4: see glowing things coming out of this camp about Watson,

451
00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:02,240
Speaker 4: don't believe im he's having an issue, And but you

452
00:24:02,280 --> 00:24:04,560
Speaker 4: know he might. They're not playing him. I don't think

453
00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:08,480
Speaker 4: they got thirty five people not suiting up. But it'll

454
00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:11,320
Speaker 4: be all about when he starts regular season. Of course,

455
00:24:11,800 --> 00:24:14,440
Speaker 4: they got a lot of talent on that team. He's

456
00:24:14,480 --> 00:24:16,920
Speaker 4: got a great offensive line, which he didn't have here.

457
00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:19,600
Speaker 4: He has a great running game, which he did have here.

458
00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:22,400
Speaker 4: He's got a better defense up there than he had here.

459
00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:25,960
Speaker 4: So yeah, they have no excuses not to win with

460
00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:29,680
Speaker 4: Deshaun Watson, especially if he were to play the way

461
00:24:29,680 --> 00:24:32,840
Speaker 4: he's capable of the way he played here in twenty twenty.

462
00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:36,600
Speaker 4: But man, that seems so long ago. Bill O'Brien was

463
00:24:36,640 --> 00:24:40,000
Speaker 4: still coaching here in twenty twenty, and that seems like

464
00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:41,359
Speaker 4: eons ago.

465
00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:44,280
Speaker 2: He made a lot of cool, great plays in twenty twenty.

466
00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:47,160
Speaker 2: I'll give him that. There was a lot of back

467
00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:50,800
Speaker 2: door yardage where he was coming from behind because the

468
00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:52,879
Speaker 2: team fell behind because they got off the slow starts.

469
00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:53,880
Speaker 3: And he's a part of that as well.

470
00:24:53,920 --> 00:24:56,760
Speaker 2: So he's got to take some of that debit, if

471
00:24:56,800 --> 00:24:59,919
Speaker 2: you will, But he can't take something away from Lee

472
00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:01,919
Speaker 2: in the league and passing yards and everything. But that

473
00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:03,520
Speaker 2: was a long time ago. It feels like a long

474
00:25:03,560 --> 00:25:05,400
Speaker 2: time ago. It is a long time ago. Let's see

475
00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:07,239
Speaker 2: how it goes and we'll see you Christmas, Eve and

476
00:25:07,280 --> 00:25:09,160
Speaker 2: go Texans. All right, general, what do you have going

477
00:25:09,200 --> 00:25:11,000
Speaker 2: on on sports radio six ten dot com?

478
00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:16,240
Speaker 4: I have my highlights and low lights from the joint practices.

479
00:25:16,359 --> 00:25:19,080
Speaker 4: I have a column I'm working on now. The Astros

480
00:25:19,240 --> 00:25:21,520
Speaker 4: who are off tonight two and a half games behind

481
00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:24,040
Speaker 4: the Rangers. I don't think they're gonna be able to

482
00:25:24,080 --> 00:25:26,800
Speaker 4: beat the Rangers. And Rangers are too good because the

483
00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:30,720
Speaker 4: Rangers pitching has gotten great to go along with great inning.

484
00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:33,800
Speaker 4: And I have a couple. I have a column from

485
00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:36,480
Speaker 4: yesterday and I can't remember what it was, but thank

486
00:25:36,480 --> 00:25:39,280

Speaker 2: three o'clock start. It'll be on ABC thirteen Live right here.

490
00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:51,880

00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:54,399

492
00:25:54,480 --> 00:25:56,760
Speaker 2: let's make a deal at least one question on that.

493
00:25:57,000 --> 00:25:59,679
Speaker 2: We're gonna do who's better? At least two questions on that.

494
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:01,600
Speaker 2: You never know what it's going to come up with

495
00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:05,920
Speaker 2: these topics, including but not limited to AFC South competition

496
00:26:06,320 --> 00:26:08,640
Speaker 2: and other stuff that John Harris is going to evaluate.

497
00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:10,399
Speaker 2: It's next on Texans Radio.

498
00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:21,560
Speaker 5: Chickson's Radio continues. In a moment, Chickson's Radio is backing.

499
00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:24,320
Speaker 3: We're gonna do some of this.

500
00:26:24,800 --> 00:26:27,320
Speaker 2: We'll do at least one let's make a deal question, Johnny,

501
00:26:27,720 --> 00:26:31,439
Speaker 2: who's better at backup quarterback?

502
00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:32,920
Speaker 3: On the depth chart?

503
00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:38,919
Speaker 2: What AFC South team has a better backup quarterback situation?

504
00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:40,800
Speaker 3: And here are the candidates.

505
00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:45,240
Speaker 2: The Indianapolis Colts we know Anthony Richardson, Starts Gardner, Minshew

506
00:26:45,600 --> 00:26:48,840
Speaker 2: sam Ellinger very familiar with his work from the season

507
00:26:48,880 --> 00:26:54,040
Speaker 2: finale last year. The Jacksonville Jaguars C J Bethard, Nathan

508
00:26:54,200 --> 00:26:58,000
Speaker 2: Rourke who had that viral play against the Cowboys last week,

509
00:26:58,480 --> 00:27:01,720
Speaker 2: and the Tennessee Titans Willis and will Levis, who was

510
00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:03,960
Speaker 2: shaking up today in practice. Don't know the results of

511
00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:05,440
Speaker 2: that might now play this weekend.

512
00:27:05,480 --> 00:27:06,640
Speaker 3: We'll find out more later.

513
00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:10,200
Speaker 2: But who's got the better back up quarterback situation?

514
00:27:10,280 --> 00:27:10,760
Speaker 3: Of course the.

515
00:27:10,720 --> 00:27:13,399
Speaker 2: Texans with Davis Mills and case Keenum and E. J.

516
00:27:13,560 --> 00:27:16,240
Speaker 3: Perry. For now, We'll see where it all goes, thoughts.

517
00:27:18,359 --> 00:27:21,240
Speaker 1: I would put Bethard in Rourke.

518
00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:23,120
Speaker 3: Last.

519
00:27:24,160 --> 00:27:27,159
Speaker 1: Okay, I'm gonna put Wow.

520
00:27:27,680 --> 00:27:32,439
Speaker 6: From just a pure talent standpoint, Willis and Levis go first,

521
00:27:33,359 --> 00:27:37,520
Speaker 6: and then Minshew and Ellinger go second. They both have experience,

522
00:27:37,640 --> 00:27:39,800
Speaker 6: so Willis has got a few starts. Lewis and the

523
00:27:39,880 --> 00:27:44,520
Speaker 6: rookie both Gardner, Minshew and Sam Ellinger have starts. Bethard

524
00:27:44,560 --> 00:27:46,560
Speaker 6: did start a little bit at Believe out in San Francisco,

525
00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:50,000
Speaker 6: and then Nathan Rourke became a viral sensation for last week.

526
00:27:50,040 --> 00:27:54,240
Speaker 6: So I'm gonna go just because pure talent, I'm gonna

527
00:27:54,280 --> 00:27:59,680
Speaker 6: go Willis, Levis Tennessee. Then I'm gonna go Minshew Ellinger,

528
00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:04,320
Speaker 6: Then I'm gonna go Jags, Bethard and Nathan Rourke. I

529
00:28:04,320 --> 00:28:07,760
Speaker 6: start thinking about if I'm facing those teams, which quarterback

530
00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:10,320
Speaker 6: would at least want to face. And I know it

531
00:28:10,359 --> 00:28:12,480
Speaker 6: sounds weird to say leak Willis would be the one

532
00:28:12,520 --> 00:28:14,360
Speaker 6: I'd least want to face. But I think this year

533
00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:16,160
Speaker 6: he's made a lot of improvements. You could just see

534
00:28:16,160 --> 00:28:19,000
Speaker 6: it in everything he's doing, even the preseason.

535
00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:20,040
Speaker 1: He's still scattershot.

536
00:28:20,080 --> 00:28:22,000
Speaker 6: I mean, he threw an interception against the Bears the

537
00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:24,359
Speaker 6: other day that had no business being interception if he

538
00:28:24,520 --> 00:28:28,000
Speaker 6: just steps and makes it an accurate throw like he should.

539
00:28:28,400 --> 00:28:32,440
Speaker 6: But I do think that Willis is a different quarterback

540
00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:34,679
Speaker 6: than he was, even though two times we faced him

541
00:28:34,720 --> 00:28:38,040
Speaker 6: last year, so that athleticism would bother me. Mitshew would

542
00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:41,120
Speaker 6: probably be next, So that's why I went one two

543
00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:46,160
Speaker 6: with Titans and Colts. Then I would go probably Ellinger Levis,

544
00:28:46,200 --> 00:28:47,880
Speaker 6: and then the two guys from Jacksonville.

545
00:28:48,120 --> 00:28:50,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, Minshew, who once upon a time could would have

546
00:28:50,160 --> 00:28:52,920
Speaker 2: should have beat the Texans in twenty nineteen, but Houston

547
00:28:52,920 --> 00:28:57,240
Speaker 2: stopped that two point conversion try. Had they run Minshew, Wow,

548
00:28:57,400 --> 00:28:59,080
Speaker 2: you never know what would have happened in that game,

549
00:28:59,120 --> 00:29:01,880
Speaker 2: and that would have been really unfortunate. So that's the

550
00:29:01,920 --> 00:29:05,760
Speaker 2: who's better. Johnny gave you the rankings. Now let's make

551
00:29:05,800 --> 00:29:06,720
Speaker 2: a Texans deal.

552
00:29:08,480 --> 00:29:13,160
Speaker 3: I am gonna give you health for CJ.

553
00:29:13,320 --> 00:29:18,120
Speaker 2: Stroud, Damian Pierce and the entire Texans offensive line for

554
00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:19,400
Speaker 2: the entire season.

555
00:29:20,480 --> 00:29:23,800
Speaker 3: All those players stay perfectly healthy for the whole campaign.

556
00:29:25,040 --> 00:29:29,280
Speaker 2: Or you can take a guaranteed seven wins with you

557
00:29:29,320 --> 00:29:31,400
Speaker 2: don't know what's going on, you don't know who played

558
00:29:31,640 --> 00:29:37,200
Speaker 2: seven wins, or health to those three players, well three groups.

559
00:29:37,280 --> 00:29:40,560
Speaker 6: I'm taking health to the offense because I think if

560
00:29:40,600 --> 00:29:43,560
Speaker 6: that group is healthy each and every week, it's gonna

561
00:29:43,560 --> 00:29:46,680
Speaker 6: get better. I think the offense is gonna be more

562
00:29:46,760 --> 00:29:49,160
Speaker 6: complex as they go through it.

563
00:29:49,200 --> 00:29:50,680
Speaker 1: I've seen some things in training camp.

564
00:29:50,720 --> 00:29:52,920
Speaker 6: Now I'm not seeing him against the Dolphins, but I've

565
00:29:52,920 --> 00:29:54,040
Speaker 6: seen some things in training camp.

566
00:29:54,120 --> 00:29:56,040
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, I haven't seen that in a while

567
00:29:56,240 --> 00:29:56,800
Speaker 1: or if ever.

568
00:29:57,080 --> 00:29:59,560
Speaker 6: So I do think the more days that group is

569
00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:01,760
Speaker 6: to get, the better offen is gonna be. And look

570
00:30:01,760 --> 00:30:04,480
Speaker 6: how many guys we said, Kenny Greens gotta stay healthy,

571
00:30:04,720 --> 00:30:06,880
Speaker 6: Nico Collins got to stay healthy. Well, if those guys

572
00:30:06,920 --> 00:30:10,000
Speaker 6: are getting healthy and staying healthy, then they're getting They're

573
00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:12,720
Speaker 6: getting better, is my assumption. And I just think that

574
00:30:12,760 --> 00:30:15,480
Speaker 6: if you keep that offensive line healthy, Kenyon's getting better,

575
00:30:16,280 --> 00:30:19,360
Speaker 6: that means juice is stacking days as well. He's starting

576
00:30:19,400 --> 00:30:21,360
Speaker 6: to adjust to some of the things that he's seeing.

577
00:30:21,840 --> 00:30:24,480
Speaker 1: Now. I think an offense may not be right out

578
00:30:24,480 --> 00:30:25,000
Speaker 1: to shoot.

579
00:30:25,120 --> 00:30:27,080
Speaker 6: It might not come out of Baltimore and go, you know,

580
00:30:27,120 --> 00:30:29,120
Speaker 6: twenty eight points, put twenty eight points up to the board.

581
00:30:29,440 --> 00:30:31,800
Speaker 6: But I do think in due time that offense is

582
00:30:31,800 --> 00:30:35,320
Speaker 6: gonna find its rhythm if guys do stay healthy. And

583
00:30:35,360 --> 00:30:38,200
Speaker 6: I think that's that's what's gonna happen. I think people

584
00:30:38,680 --> 00:30:40,880
Speaker 6: in some sense, and I'm not not saying this is

585
00:30:40,880 --> 00:30:42,880
Speaker 6: one hundred percent guarantee, but I do think people need

586
00:30:42,880 --> 00:30:45,680
Speaker 6: to brace themselves for Look, it could be shaped. It's

587
00:30:45,720 --> 00:30:48,320
Speaker 6: gonna be shaky with the offense a little bit up front.

588
00:30:48,680 --> 00:30:50,920
Speaker 6: There's probably gonna be a little bit more grounded pound

589
00:30:50,960 --> 00:30:54,240
Speaker 6: to the offense early on for it to kind of

590
00:30:54,240 --> 00:30:58,200
Speaker 6: find its sea legs. Against Baltimore, against Indy, against Jacksonville,

591
00:30:58,200 --> 00:31:01,040
Speaker 6: against Pittsburgh, there's gonna be some tough moments. Those are

592
00:31:01,120 --> 00:31:05,440
Speaker 6: four pretty stout defenses for the most part, that they're

593
00:31:05,440 --> 00:31:08,120
Speaker 6: going to face in those first four games in particular,

594
00:31:08,600 --> 00:31:10,760
Speaker 6: and this offense found out this week.

595
00:31:10,800 --> 00:31:13,040
Speaker 1: Oh man. The first of all, the Dolphins have a

596
00:31:13,080 --> 00:31:13,600
Speaker 1: top five.

597
00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:15,479
Speaker 6: Defense, and so how do they do against that well,

598
00:31:15,480 --> 00:31:17,560
Speaker 6: it kind of fits and starts, but if you keep

599
00:31:17,600 --> 00:31:19,960
Speaker 6: everybody healthy, by the time you get to week three,

600
00:31:20,040 --> 00:31:22,680
Speaker 6: week four, you're starting to see that improvement. You're starting

601
00:31:22,680 --> 00:31:24,920
Speaker 6: to see them do some different things that they're gonna

602
00:31:24,920 --> 00:31:28,160
Speaker 6: gear up for in October and November, of being solid,

603
00:31:28,320 --> 00:31:31,480
Speaker 6: being diverse, being able to use all their weapons, and

604
00:31:31,560 --> 00:31:35,160
Speaker 6: finding out what its identity is. What is the identity

605
00:31:35,160 --> 00:31:36,880
Speaker 6: of the team gonna be? And I bring it up

606
00:31:36,880 --> 00:31:39,160
Speaker 6: because when I was listening to the podcast Jordan Rodrigue

607
00:31:39,200 --> 00:31:42,239
Speaker 6: did for the Athletics, she talked with Sean McVay and

608
00:31:42,320 --> 00:31:44,520
Speaker 6: what he thought the identity of the Rams was going

609
00:31:44,600 --> 00:31:47,360
Speaker 6: to be early in his career there. The first year

610
00:31:47,400 --> 00:31:50,520
Speaker 6: there turned out to be completely different than what he thought.

611
00:31:50,640 --> 00:31:52,480
Speaker 6: He thought that was gonna be a twelve personnel team

612
00:31:52,560 --> 00:31:54,400
Speaker 6: and they were gonna run this. They were gonna run this,

613
00:31:54,520 --> 00:31:56,640
Speaker 6: and he turned out with the receivers they had, Robert Woods,

614
00:31:56,680 --> 00:31:58,560
Speaker 6: Cooper Cup that they were going to be an eleven

615
00:31:58,600 --> 00:32:02,040
Speaker 6: personnel team and do things a little differently than they expected.

616
00:32:02,200 --> 00:32:05,240
Speaker 6: So what does the identity of this offense turn into.

617
00:32:05,560 --> 00:32:08,600
Speaker 6: We think it's gonna be a kind of a run. First,

618
00:32:08,920 --> 00:32:12,080
Speaker 6: let's relying on offensive line, Damian Pierce, Devin Singletary sort

619
00:32:12,080 --> 00:32:14,840
Speaker 6: of thing. Let the rookie CJ. Stroud kind of grow

620
00:32:14,880 --> 00:32:17,480
Speaker 6: into his shoes. But who knows that those guys all

621
00:32:17,480 --> 00:32:20,280
Speaker 6: stay healthy, Maybe that that passing game could start clicking

622
00:32:20,320 --> 00:32:22,000
Speaker 6: a little bit and it becomes a little bit more

623
00:32:22,040 --> 00:32:24,280
Speaker 6: balanced as you go through. So I'm gonna go with

624
00:32:24,320 --> 00:32:26,800
Speaker 6: the health because I think if that group is fully healthy,

625
00:32:27,160 --> 00:32:28,959
Speaker 6: I think it could be more than seven wins.

626
00:32:29,160 --> 00:32:29,640
Speaker 3: It could be.

627
00:32:29,760 --> 00:32:32,280
Speaker 2: And I think that I'll take the health as well,

628
00:32:32,280 --> 00:32:33,840
Speaker 2: because I want to see those guys develop.

629
00:32:33,960 --> 00:32:34,120
Speaker 4: Right.

630
00:32:34,360 --> 00:32:37,400
Speaker 2: Well, we know Pierce doesn't need development, so to speak,

631
00:32:37,440 --> 00:32:39,880
Speaker 2: but you want to see Stroud with a healthy Pierce

632
00:32:39,880 --> 00:32:42,080
Speaker 2: and healthy offensive line because that's going to bring you

633
00:32:42,320 --> 00:32:44,600
Speaker 2: the most out of Stroud and he needs healthy receivers too.

634
00:32:44,640 --> 00:32:47,320
Speaker 2: But I think it's a great start that way. And

635
00:32:47,480 --> 00:32:50,120
Speaker 2: seven wins. Look, i'd love to see them improve that much.

636
00:32:50,160 --> 00:32:52,720
Speaker 2: But at the same time, where does it get you?

637
00:32:52,720 --> 00:32:53,320
Speaker 3: You don't know.

638
00:32:53,480 --> 00:32:55,640
Speaker 2: They could have earned that with Mills or Keenum or

639
00:32:55,640 --> 00:32:58,400
Speaker 2: something and Stroud goes down. You don't want to see that.

640
00:32:58,600 --> 00:33:01,560
Speaker 2: So I'll take a healthy Stroud, all right? Who's better?

641
00:33:01,640 --> 00:33:04,600
Speaker 2: Back to this, who's the best we're seeing the Miami

642
00:33:04,600 --> 00:33:06,800
Speaker 2: Dolphins out here and joint practices and of the game

643
00:33:06,840 --> 00:33:09,840
Speaker 2: on Saturday. Last week saw the New England Patriots. December tenth,

644
00:33:09,840 --> 00:33:12,040
Speaker 2: you'll see the New York Jets up close and personal.

645
00:33:12,360 --> 00:33:15,840
Speaker 2: That's three AFC East teams on the schedule including preseason,

646
00:33:15,840 --> 00:33:17,840
Speaker 2: which I know is a big thing to say, but

647
00:33:18,280 --> 00:33:20,800
Speaker 2: you're seeing three of them. Who's the best team in

648
00:33:20,880 --> 00:33:23,520
Speaker 2: the AFC East. You're not seeing the Bills, But out

649
00:33:23,560 --> 00:33:28,840
Speaker 2: of those Bills, Dolphins, Jets, Patriots selections, who do you got?

650
00:33:29,000 --> 00:33:32,120
Speaker 2: What's your pecking order in the East with relative health

651
00:33:32,160 --> 00:33:32,600
Speaker 2: to all?

652
00:33:32,960 --> 00:33:34,440
Speaker 1: Well? Interesting you brought that up. Mark.

653
00:33:34,680 --> 00:33:38,480
Speaker 6: On my YouTube channel, I previewed THEFC East. Three reasons

654
00:33:38,560 --> 00:33:40,800
Speaker 6: why each team will win the AFC East and three

655
00:33:40,840 --> 00:33:45,640
Speaker 6: reasons why they won't. And the one which is weird

656
00:33:45,840 --> 00:33:48,440
Speaker 6: because the one that I had the least reasons why

657
00:33:48,520 --> 00:33:50,880
Speaker 6: I think they would not win the division was the

658
00:33:50,960 --> 00:33:52,800
Speaker 6: Jets And a lot of it just had to do

659
00:33:52,840 --> 00:33:56,959
Speaker 6: with kind of team chemistry and Aaron Rodgers, Like how

660
00:33:57,000 --> 00:33:58,120
Speaker 6: does Aaron Rodgers like.

661
00:33:58,080 --> 00:34:01,000
Speaker 1: Watching Hard Knocks? If you watch Hard Knocks?

662
00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:03,640
Speaker 6: In Week two, you started seeing Rogers showing some of

663
00:34:03,680 --> 00:34:07,560
Speaker 6: the frustration, like he started talking about, hey, we can't

664
00:34:07,640 --> 00:34:09,479
Speaker 6: run that play from that formation. I thought we would

665
00:34:09,480 --> 00:34:11,040
Speaker 6: have learned that by now. You know, there's a lot

666
00:34:11,080 --> 00:34:13,640
Speaker 6: of that kind of stuff. You know, he's getting frustrated

667
00:34:14,200 --> 00:34:16,799
Speaker 6: by not having time to throw that. Carolina Panthers got

668
00:34:16,800 --> 00:34:20,279
Speaker 6: after him pretty good and joint practices. So that was

669
00:34:20,320 --> 00:34:23,239
Speaker 6: the one team I had the hardest, most difficult time

670
00:34:23,280 --> 00:34:26,799
Speaker 6: coming up with the reasons why not why they wouldn't win.

671
00:34:28,520 --> 00:34:31,160
Speaker 6: I still think it's the Bills, and I think Josh

672
00:34:31,160 --> 00:34:33,440
Speaker 6: Allen makes a big difference to the return of Von Miller

673
00:34:33,520 --> 00:34:36,840
Speaker 6: is absolutely massive, and I do think the addition of

674
00:34:36,920 --> 00:34:41,200
Speaker 6: Dalton Kincaid in the passing game along with Dawson Knox,

675
00:34:41,280 --> 00:34:45,040
Speaker 6: I think I think those DKs together, my goodness, they

676
00:34:45,040 --> 00:34:47,440
Speaker 6: can run some twelve personnel and it's going to be fantastic.

677
00:34:47,440 --> 00:34:48,560
Speaker 1: So I still think it's the Bills.

678
00:34:49,080 --> 00:34:52,279
Speaker 6: But I think the Dolphins and the Jets might have

679
00:34:52,880 --> 00:34:57,320
Speaker 6: two of the top five defensive lines in the entire league,

680
00:34:57,960 --> 00:35:00,200
Speaker 6: and they're built differently. I mean, the Jets of four

681
00:35:00,239 --> 00:35:05,440
Speaker 6: man surface, the Dolphins, you know, an odd surface. It's unbelievable.

682
00:35:05,480 --> 00:35:08,719
Speaker 6: The talent they both have up and down. I do

683
00:35:08,760 --> 00:35:11,960
Speaker 6: think the Dolphins don't have quite the depth. I think

684
00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:15,640
Speaker 6: the Dolphins front five, thrown in Chubb and Jalen Phillips,

685
00:35:15,680 --> 00:35:17,360
Speaker 6: and then you throw on top of that Amanual Ogba.

686
00:35:17,360 --> 00:35:20,279
Speaker 6: I think they've from the edge perspective, they're outstanding. Now

687
00:35:20,280 --> 00:35:22,839
Speaker 6: they got to get Christian Wilkins back and we'll see

688
00:35:22,880 --> 00:35:23,399
Speaker 6: what happens there.

689
00:35:23,400 --> 00:35:26,160
Speaker 1: He's been holding in. The Jets go probably eight or

690
00:35:26,239 --> 00:35:27,640
Speaker 1: nine deep across that front.

691
00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:31,359
Speaker 6: Quinn Williams, the two defensive ends Jermaine Johnson and Will

692
00:35:31,440 --> 00:35:35,080
Speaker 6: McDonald they drafted last year. Those two guys are unbelievable.

693
00:35:35,280 --> 00:35:37,680
Speaker 6: Then you throw in John Franklin Myers who's always been

694
00:35:37,719 --> 00:35:41,680
Speaker 6: a stud, and they're just deep, and they're physical and

695
00:35:41,719 --> 00:35:42,640
Speaker 6: they get after.

696
00:35:42,760 --> 00:35:44,680
Speaker 1: They've got probably four or five pass rushers.

697
00:35:44,719 --> 00:35:47,040
Speaker 6: I can play for any team in the league, and

698
00:35:47,080 --> 00:35:49,760
Speaker 6: I think those two, the Dolphins and Jets. Having those

699
00:35:49,840 --> 00:35:52,840
Speaker 6: two defensive lines the thing I learned about the Dolphins

700
00:35:52,880 --> 00:35:56,160
Speaker 6: today and actually these two days, they will go as

701
00:35:56,200 --> 00:36:01,520
Speaker 6: Tyreek takes them. When the Texans defense squared up without Tyreek,

702
00:36:01,800 --> 00:36:06,320
Speaker 6: they virtually shut the Dolphins offense down. The Dolphins offense

703
00:36:06,360 --> 00:36:09,480
Speaker 6: did very very little when ten was not on the field.

704
00:36:10,560 --> 00:36:14,640
Speaker 6: That's that I think kills the Dolphins chances, even though

705
00:36:14,680 --> 00:36:17,799
Speaker 6: Tyreek said Guess been pretty healthy throughout his career for

706
00:36:17,840 --> 00:36:21,200
Speaker 6: the most part. The Jets offense I don't think is

707
00:36:21,239 --> 00:36:23,520
Speaker 6: as explosive, but I think it's deeper. There are more

708
00:36:23,600 --> 00:36:26,399
Speaker 6: things that the Jets offense can do. But I don't

709
00:36:26,440 --> 00:36:28,920
Speaker 6: love either offensive line, so that's why I'm going with

710
00:36:28,920 --> 00:36:30,799
Speaker 6: the Bills. But I do think the Dolphins are going

711
00:36:30,840 --> 00:36:32,040
Speaker 6: to be a ten win team and I think the

712
00:36:32,120 --> 00:36:33,480
Speaker 6: Jets are going to be a ten win team. I

713
00:36:33,520 --> 00:36:35,279
Speaker 6: think they both get into the playoffs. I think you're

714
00:36:35,280 --> 00:36:37,160
Speaker 6: gonna got three teams out of the AFC East into the.

715
00:36:37,120 --> 00:36:39,759
Speaker 3: Playoffs, will have at least one more.

716
00:36:39,840 --> 00:36:44,120
Speaker 2: Who's better next involving a sneak peek in next week's opponent.

717
00:36:44,239 --> 00:36:46,120
Speaker 3: I know it's the preseason. Why are we doing that?

718
00:36:46,520 --> 00:36:50,160
Speaker 2: Don't look ahead on any occasion, but it's important because

719
00:36:50,160 --> 00:36:52,800
Speaker 2: you have more joint practices coming up next week against

720
00:36:52,840 --> 00:36:57,280
Speaker 2: New Orleans and who's better involving them? Plus the quarterback series?

721
00:36:57,400 --> 00:37:00,279
Speaker 2: Have they decided on the qbs? Johnny's going to pick

722
00:37:00,320 --> 00:37:03,080
Speaker 2: his over what's left or what we think is left

723
00:37:03,080 --> 00:37:04,719
Speaker 2: in the selection because a lot of people have turned

724
00:37:04,719 --> 00:37:05,040
Speaker 2: it down.

725
00:37:05,080 --> 00:37:06,920
Speaker 3: That's next year on Texans Radio.

726
00:37:07,760 --> 00:37:10,719
Speaker 5: Stay tuned for more on the Houston Texans and the

727

729
00:37:19,880 --> 00:37:23,240

730
00:37:23,360 --> 00:37:26,280
Speaker 2: John Harris, Texans All Access. Okay, Johnny, we said we'd

731
00:37:26,320 --> 00:37:29,720
Speaker 2: continue this now next week. This is after the Texans

732
00:37:29,800 --> 00:37:32,800
Speaker 2: take on the Dolphins Saturday at three at NRG Stadium.

733
00:37:32,800 --> 00:37:35,279
Speaker 2: Looking forward to at live right here, ABC thirteen as well.

734
00:37:36,239 --> 00:37:39,440
Speaker 2: Next week it's joint practices in New Orleans with the

735
00:37:39,480 --> 00:37:43,200
Speaker 2: Saints and then a game at the Super Dome a

736
00:37:43,280 --> 00:37:45,799
Speaker 2: week from Sunday night. That'll be a Fox game on

737
00:37:45,880 --> 00:37:48,040
Speaker 2: Fox twenty six, and of course live right here as well.

738
00:37:48,360 --> 00:37:50,400
Speaker 2: So I'll ask you who's better because we'll continue the

739
00:37:50,440 --> 00:37:53,719
Speaker 2: segment who's better the Saints of the Patriots. This year,

740
00:37:53,760 --> 00:37:56,640
Speaker 2: the Patriots won one more game than the Saints last year.

741
00:37:56,880 --> 00:38:00,400
Speaker 2: Year to year, everybody different, personnel changeover. Derek Carr joins

742
00:38:00,440 --> 00:38:03,680
Speaker 2: New Orleans. Does that automatically make them better than the Patriots?

743
00:38:03,680 --> 00:38:05,879
Speaker 2: But wait a minute, the Patriots improve their team as well.

744
00:38:05,920 --> 00:38:09,799
Speaker 2: Allegedly they don't have the clunky coordinator situation anymore. They've

745
00:38:09,800 --> 00:38:12,200
Speaker 2: got Bill O'Brien there, They've got whatever they've got.

746
00:38:12,440 --> 00:38:15,080
Speaker 3: Who's better the Saints or the Patriots.

747
00:38:15,480 --> 00:38:18,480
Speaker 6: I think the Saints are I think the Saints are better.

748
00:38:18,520 --> 00:38:20,640
Speaker 6: I think the Saints are more complete. I'm not buying

749
00:38:20,880 --> 00:38:22,239
Speaker 6: the Patriots offense.

750
00:38:21,960 --> 00:38:23,239
Speaker 1: And there's nothing to do with Bill. I think I

751
00:38:23,239 --> 00:38:24,200
Speaker 1: think Bill will be fine.

752
00:38:24,320 --> 00:38:27,359
Speaker 6: I don't believe in mac Jones, and so I do

753
00:38:27,480 --> 00:38:30,160
Speaker 6: think that the Patriots offense will struggle. I think it's

754
00:38:30,160 --> 00:38:33,600
Speaker 6: gonna be you know, grounding pound, which you know when

755
00:38:33,719 --> 00:38:36,680
Speaker 6: when the NFL zigs. Belichick likes the zag, and so

756
00:38:36,719 --> 00:38:39,200
Speaker 6: if teams are gonna play light defenses and light boxes,

757
00:38:39,200 --> 00:38:42,640
Speaker 6: then he's gonna run Romandre Stevenson, Ezekiel Elliott, you know,

758
00:38:42,719 --> 00:38:43,600
Speaker 6: forty times a game.

759
00:38:43,920 --> 00:38:46,880
Speaker 1: Possibly. I just think the Saints are more complete.

760
00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:49,680
Speaker 6: I think adding Jamal williams Uh to the mix was

761
00:38:49,719 --> 00:38:53,680
Speaker 6: big for the Saints. With Alvin Kamara, you know, I

762
00:38:53,719 --> 00:38:57,080
Speaker 6: think that's just that's gonna be something that teams are

763
00:38:57,120 --> 00:38:59,080
Speaker 6: gonna have to tangle with, and I think that's gonna

764
00:38:59,080 --> 00:39:03,160
Speaker 6: be really difficult eventually when Kamara gets gets back on

765
00:39:03,160 --> 00:39:05,640
Speaker 6: the field, what's he suspended for three games?

766
00:39:05,640 --> 00:39:06,160
Speaker 1: Six games?

767
00:39:06,200 --> 00:39:08,840
Speaker 6: I can't remember what the what the number of games

768
00:39:08,920 --> 00:39:11,000
Speaker 6: is three games, so he'll.

769
00:39:11,080 --> 00:39:12,000
Speaker 1: Be back soon enough.

770
00:39:12,440 --> 00:39:14,720
Speaker 6: I think they're more complete, and I think Derek Carr

771
00:39:14,719 --> 00:39:17,440
Speaker 6: is a much better quarterback than Mac Jones. I just

772
00:39:17,440 --> 00:39:19,560
Speaker 6: think the receivers are better with the I think everything

773
00:39:19,560 --> 00:39:22,840
Speaker 6: offensively is better with the Saints. Defensively, I think the

774
00:39:22,840 --> 00:39:25,200
Speaker 6: Patriots are better, but it's not as if the Saints

775
00:39:25,560 --> 00:39:27,840
Speaker 6: are a bunch of slappies. I think the delta between

776
00:39:27,880 --> 00:39:31,440
Speaker 6: the Saints offense and the Patriots offense, that delta is

777
00:39:31,520 --> 00:39:34,000
Speaker 6: much bigger than the Saints defense Patriots defense.

778
00:39:34,080 --> 00:39:35,040
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say Saints.

779
00:39:35,160 --> 00:39:38,319
Speaker 6: Here's the other thing too, if we're just gonna say, okay, record, well,

780
00:39:38,360 --> 00:39:41,920
Speaker 6: the NFC South is not even anywhere close to the

781
00:39:41,960 --> 00:39:45,440
Speaker 6: AFC East. So the Patriots have got six games against

782
00:39:45,480 --> 00:39:48,080
Speaker 6: the Bills, of Dolphins, and Jets, whereas the Saints have

783
00:39:48,160 --> 00:39:51,719
Speaker 6: six games against the Bucks, the Falcons, and Panthers. So

784
00:39:51,840 --> 00:39:53,680
Speaker 6: I think that plays into the Saints as well. So

785
00:39:53,719 --> 00:39:57,040
Speaker 6: I think to me, all signs, as the magic eight

786
00:39:57,080 --> 00:40:00,720
Speaker 6: ball would say, all signs point two, Yes, the Saints

787
00:40:00,840 --> 00:40:02,120
Speaker 6: are the better team.

788
00:40:02,040 --> 00:40:05,399
Speaker 2: And the matchic eight ball is never wrong, all right, never,

789
00:40:05,680 --> 00:40:10,319
Speaker 2: let's do this quarterback series. Apparently Joe Burrow is going

790
00:40:10,400 --> 00:40:13,080
Speaker 2: to do it. That's according to Boomer Assison. There was

791
00:40:13,120 --> 00:40:15,480
Speaker 2: a report today about it that Burrow is in, even

792
00:40:15,520 --> 00:40:17,400
Speaker 2: though he played coy about it. I don't know if

793
00:40:17,400 --> 00:40:20,200
Speaker 2: it's confirmed or not, but let's just pretend he's in, right,

794
00:40:20,560 --> 00:40:21,520
Speaker 2: And that's a pretty good one.

795
00:40:22,000 --> 00:40:24,040
Speaker 3: That's a good Burrow in that series. All right.

796
00:40:24,400 --> 00:40:27,239
Speaker 2: You get to pick the other two, right, assuming it

797
00:40:27,280 --> 00:40:28,920
Speaker 2: is too and they don't change the format.

798
00:40:28,680 --> 00:40:30,880
Speaker 3: Of the show. I'll give you three choices.

799
00:40:30,960 --> 00:40:34,000
Speaker 2: I don't think these players have turned it down, and

800
00:40:34,080 --> 00:40:36,600
Speaker 2: I don't think one one in particular. I don't think

801
00:40:36,600 --> 00:40:38,960
Speaker 2: we'll be offered it at all, but i'll give you

802
00:40:39,000 --> 00:40:43,880
Speaker 2: the players justin Herbert Gino Smith bear with me on

803
00:40:43,960 --> 00:40:46,839
Speaker 2: Gino here. You had a goodyear last year. This year's

804
00:40:46,880 --> 00:40:49,000
Speaker 2: going to be really interesting for the Seahawks, and you

805
00:40:49,080 --> 00:40:51,879
Speaker 2: get to go into that Seahawks building and see how

806
00:40:51,920 --> 00:40:53,800
Speaker 2: things are done with Pete Carroll.

807
00:40:53,840 --> 00:40:55,040
Speaker 3: I think that would be interesting.

808
00:40:55,560 --> 00:41:00,440
Speaker 2: And Kenny Pickett year two, that's the one where I

809
00:41:00,480 --> 00:41:02,920
Speaker 2: think he wouldn't even be offered this, but you never know,

810
00:41:03,280 --> 00:41:05,480
Speaker 2: so you pick among those three pick two.

811
00:41:06,000 --> 00:41:08,680
Speaker 6: Go, well, you didn't pick the one that I thought

812
00:41:08,719 --> 00:41:11,160
Speaker 6: you might pick, and it might be one that i'd

813
00:41:11,200 --> 00:41:16,840
Speaker 6: want to see just because I'm kind of curious. I

814
00:41:16,840 --> 00:41:19,720
Speaker 6: don't think he'll get asked. In fact, I get asked.

815
00:41:20,040 --> 00:41:23,080
Speaker 6: There's no chance he gets he gets asked. If you're

816
00:41:23,080 --> 00:41:24,479
Speaker 6: thinking of who I'm thinking of.

817
00:41:24,760 --> 00:41:28,000
Speaker 1: Shaun Watson. Yeah, there's no way he's not getting asked.

818
00:41:29,160 --> 00:41:32,520
Speaker 2: If he got asked and did it, people would watch

819
00:41:32,920 --> 00:41:37,520
Speaker 2: that absolutely numbers people absolutely like, wait, what does he

820
00:41:37,600 --> 00:41:38,880
Speaker 2: do in his spare time?

821
00:41:39,600 --> 00:41:42,480
Speaker 3: Can we never mind? But he's not gonna get asked.

822
00:41:42,640 --> 00:41:45,000
Speaker 1: You know who I would like to see and part

823
00:41:45,040 --> 00:41:46,640
Speaker 1: of it just because he's in the vision, but i'd

824
00:41:46,680 --> 00:41:47,360
Speaker 1: like to see Trevor.

825
00:41:47,960 --> 00:41:51,439
Speaker 6: Trevor's pretty good miked up man. Trevor's very very good

826
00:41:51,520 --> 00:41:54,200
Speaker 6: miked up. I think Trevor would be good. Throw Trevor

827
00:41:54,200 --> 00:41:57,080
Speaker 6: in there with Joe Burrow. I think two is funny.

828
00:41:57,080 --> 00:41:59,120
Speaker 6: I think two it would be. And I think it's

829
00:41:59,120 --> 00:42:02,120
Speaker 6: gonna be interes Gino. I like the idea of Gino.

830
00:42:02,320 --> 00:42:04,799
Speaker 6: I mean, you were talking me into it, you know

831
00:42:04,880 --> 00:42:07,120
Speaker 6: that kind of Seattle vibe I think would be good.

832
00:42:07,160 --> 00:42:11,600
Speaker 6: And yeah, you know what let's go Geno, Trevor, and

833
00:42:11,719 --> 00:42:12,240
Speaker 6: Joe Burrow.

834
00:42:12,320 --> 00:42:15,000
Speaker 2: Joe's already I think Trevor's already said no. Yeah, he

835
00:42:15,040 --> 00:42:16,960
Speaker 2: has said no, I have a story here. He said no,

836
00:42:17,239 --> 00:42:19,760
Speaker 2: So let's go. What about Herbert? You don't like Herbert?

837
00:42:19,800 --> 00:42:20,560
Speaker 2: Do you think he's boring?

838
00:42:21,080 --> 00:42:23,280
Speaker 1: No? No, I you know how I feel about Justin Herbert.

839
00:42:23,320 --> 00:42:24,719
Speaker 1: I'd love Justin Herbert.

840
00:42:24,960 --> 00:42:27,160
Speaker 6: I think he is sneaky, funny, and I think that

841
00:42:27,800 --> 00:42:33,080
Speaker 6: he's It's compelling. The Charter story is compelling because well,

842
00:42:33,120 --> 00:42:34,719
Speaker 6: there's supposed to be a team that wins. I mean,

843
00:42:34,719 --> 00:42:36,720
Speaker 6: I thought last year that was going to be the team,

844
00:42:36,760 --> 00:42:40,840
Speaker 6: and I'm just not buying it anymore. So that's a

845
00:42:40,880 --> 00:42:42,840
Speaker 6: team kind of on the hot seat. That's a quarterback

846
00:42:42,880 --> 00:42:44,359
Speaker 6: kind of on the hot seat. In some sense, it's

847
00:42:44,360 --> 00:42:47,680
Speaker 6: a coach that's on the hot seat. But if I

848
00:42:47,719 --> 00:42:52,120
Speaker 6: could have my brothers, I would go Trevor Lawrence and

849
00:42:52,280 --> 00:42:55,680
Speaker 6: Joe Burrow and then Gino Smith because I'd like to

850
00:42:55,680 --> 00:42:57,719
Speaker 6: see Geno and Seattle. I would say Justin Fields, but

851
00:42:57,719 --> 00:43:00,919
Speaker 6: I've already seen that documentary. It was called QB one

852
00:43:01,080 --> 00:43:03,440
Speaker 6: on Netflix many many years ago, when Justin Fields did

853
00:43:03,480 --> 00:43:04,720
Speaker 6: it when he was coming out of high school.

854
00:43:04,719 --> 00:43:07,040
Speaker 1: I don't need to see him again. So let's go

855
00:43:07,200 --> 00:43:10,640
Speaker 1: Trevor Burrow and Gino Smith and c J.

856
00:43:10,760 --> 00:43:11,040
Speaker 3: Strout.

857
00:43:11,080 --> 00:43:13,520
Speaker 2: I'm just kidding, not gonna do it, not with a

858
00:43:13,600 --> 00:43:18,399
Speaker 2: rookie quarterback. All right, thing other than Stroud and Dell.

859
00:43:18,600 --> 00:43:21,040
Speaker 2: Thing you're looking forward to seeing the most on Saturday.

860
00:43:21,719 --> 00:43:24,279
Speaker 1: It's gotta be the uh, it's gotta be the offensive line.

861
00:43:24,320 --> 00:43:28,160
Speaker 6: I mean to me, just watching the interior again, watching Juice,

862
00:43:28,200 --> 00:43:32,080
Speaker 6: watching Kenyon, those two guys. I love watching this linebacker crew.

863
00:43:32,680 --> 00:43:35,120
Speaker 6: I love watching Henry Toto and Denzel Peraman. I mean,

864
00:43:35,120 --> 00:43:37,400
Speaker 6: those guys seem to know where the ball's going every

865
00:43:37,640 --> 00:43:42,040
Speaker 6: single play, every single play. And I want to see

866
00:43:42,040 --> 00:43:44,080
Speaker 6: this run game get cranked up a little bit, which

867
00:43:44,160 --> 00:43:48,000
Speaker 6: obviously is tied into the interior of Juice and Kenyon.

868
00:43:48,040 --> 00:43:51,760
Speaker 6: And I thought the run game Wednesday was really really good.

869
00:43:52,520 --> 00:43:54,919
Speaker 6: Pass protection wasn't as good. So I want to see

870
00:43:54,920 --> 00:43:56,560
Speaker 6: one of those cleaned up. I want to see the

871
00:43:56,600 --> 00:43:59,799
Speaker 6: pass protection cleaned up, or I want to see the

872
00:44:00,160 --> 00:44:02,719
Speaker 6: game pop one of the other. I need to see

873
00:44:02,719 --> 00:44:04,200
Speaker 6: if both of them are struggle, I'm gonna be really

874
00:44:04,239 --> 00:44:05,479
Speaker 6: worried going into the Saints week.

875
00:44:06,120 --> 00:44:08,280
Speaker 2: All right, we'll have a show tomorrow and dy Kalu's

876
00:44:08,320 --> 00:44:11,239
Speaker 2: gonna be with us. We'll also have some Miami perspective
