00:00:17,680 --> 00:00:20,240
Speaker 1: tonight is we usher you into the very first NFL

9
00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:22,840
Speaker 1: game of the season, which would be the Hall of

10
00:00:22,880 --> 00:00:26,920
Speaker 1: Fame game featuring the New York Jets formerly the New

11
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:30,639
Speaker 1: York Titans, formerly the New York Titans. Yes, that's what

12
00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:34,919
Speaker 1: their first name was. And the who are they playing again?

13
00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:38,919
Speaker 1: The Cleveland Browns, Yes, formerly the Cleveland Browns because they

14
00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:41,120
Speaker 1: were the Browns and they moved to Baltimore, but they

15
00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:44,960
Speaker 1: dropped everything in Cleveland for three years and then the

16
00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:48,400
Speaker 1: Browns reformed as the Bad Browns instead of the franchise

17
00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:50,640
Speaker 1: that became a two time Super Bowl winner, and that

18
00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:52,600
Speaker 1: sometimes happens in this league, Johnny, and you.

19
00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:54,520
Speaker 2: Got to give the City of Cleveland a lot of

20
00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:59,080
Speaker 2: credit because the city of Cleveland told Art Model and

21
00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:03,880
Speaker 2: they had a declaration or whatever made up like hey,

22
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:05,720
Speaker 2: art model. You can take a team in Baltimore, but

23
00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:08,080
Speaker 2: all the Browns history and everything stays here. Yeah, And

24
00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:10,520
Speaker 2: it was brilliant in that sense that they had the

25
00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:12,280
Speaker 2: forest that they might be able to get another team,

26
00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:13,640
Speaker 2: and you had to have a team of Cleveland. I mean,

27
00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:17,400
Speaker 2: the passion for the Browns there is incredible. When do

28
00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:20,200
Speaker 2: we go there to twenty twenty one right second game,

29
00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:24,319
Speaker 2: it was a beautiful day and man, we drove over

30
00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:26,160
Speaker 2: to the stadium and as we were driving over the stadium,

31
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:30,560
Speaker 2: I usually go first bus man there it was packed.

32
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:33,280
Speaker 2: It was such a great scene. It was really really cool.

33
00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:36,280
Speaker 2: Then you got a stadium. I mean, I feel for

34
00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:38,040
Speaker 2: them that they've not been able to be more successful

35
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:41,320
Speaker 2: as an organization football wise, but I don't want them

36
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:44,160
Speaker 2: to be this year. But it's just it's an environment

37
00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:49,360
Speaker 2: where I'm glad that city has football. So we'll see

38
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:52,080
Speaker 2: what they do tonight. So on my YouTube show I

39
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:54,760
Speaker 2: did this, my daughter is gonna be kind of a

40
00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:59,800
Speaker 2: frequent guest. So last night the challenge was the test

41
00:01:59,920 --> 00:02:02,200
Speaker 2: was how many NFL helmets could she mentioned?

42
00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:03,200
Speaker 3: You mentioned the Titans.

43
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:07,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, I flashed up there an NFL team and she

44
00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:10,520
Speaker 2: went to Titans and I was like, how do you

45
00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:11,400
Speaker 2: get tights out of that?

46
00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:14,720
Speaker 3: She thought the Patriots. She thought the Patriots was the Titans.

47
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:21,080
Speaker 2: It's funny because neither one of my kids have any

48
00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:22,079
Speaker 2: understanding of football.

49
00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:24,200
Speaker 4: That's amazing with you as a dad.

50
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:27,400
Speaker 2: None have no understanding, no love for football. When I

51
00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:30,240
Speaker 2: watch games, I watch them by myself. Yep, they have

52
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:33,120
Speaker 2: no desire to watch. My son is into technology. I

53
00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:36,400
Speaker 2: t studying the brain neurology. He's gonna he's gonna help

54
00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:40,320
Speaker 2: people a lot more that way. Have nothing with football.

55
00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:41,200
Speaker 4: That's amazing.

56
00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:43,920
Speaker 2: My daughter will hear about something she knew about Josh

57
00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:46,400
Speaker 2: Allen because Josh Allen is dating Haley Steinfeld.

58
00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:50,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, that happens sometimes, the celebrity connections, the crossover.

59
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:51,359
Speaker 3: So that's with.

60
00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:54,000
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers, Bridge, Ut moynihand with Tom Brady back in

61
00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:54,560
Speaker 1: the day.

62
00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:58,120
Speaker 3: All of them. She knows Tom Brady. Yeah, she knows Brady.

63
00:02:58,160 --> 00:02:59,919
Speaker 3: He's a crossover, He's a crossover star.

64
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:00,240
Speaker 5: Yeah.

65
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:01,880
Speaker 4: I think Mahomes is getting that way too.

66
00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:02,239
Speaker 3: Yeah.

67
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:04,440
Speaker 2: It took her a second to I said, who's the

68
00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:07,480
Speaker 2: Chiefs quarterback? And I said, she's kind of like I said,

69
00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:09,200
Speaker 2: initials PM shows, Oh Patrick ma Holmes.

70
00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:11,400
Speaker 3: She got very excited. She got that. But he's a

71
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:12,079
Speaker 3: crossover star.

72
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:15,200
Speaker 1: That Quarterback Show, it features him obviously a lot. He's

73
00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:17,840
Speaker 1: one of the three, and he played the most because

74
00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:20,320
Speaker 1: he went to the super Bowl and won it. There's

75
00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:23,240
Speaker 1: a lot on Patrick Mahomes. And you see how greaty is.

76
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:26,240
Speaker 1: You warned me about this. It's another example of how

77
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:28,240
Speaker 1: great he is. He just wants the ball at all times.

78
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:29,880
Speaker 1: When he got hurt, A lot of guys would have

79
00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:31,840
Speaker 1: left the game and maybe been done for the season,

80
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:35,200
Speaker 1: but nothing was going to stop him from playing, and

81
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:37,280
Speaker 1: maybe even if it was hurting the team, which you

82
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:39,480
Speaker 1: could have argued he was when he first got back

83
00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:41,400
Speaker 1: into the lineup in that Jags game. But they hung

84
00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:43,040
Speaker 1: in there defensively and they won the game.

85
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:46,520
Speaker 2: Especially with what Henny did. Yeah, yeah, I mean you reminded.

86
00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:48,720
Speaker 2: I remember as they're going through that, I'm like, oh, yeah,

87
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:49,480
Speaker 2: I remember you got hurting.

88
00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:52,960
Speaker 3: Who came in? Oh, Hanny came in. What did Henny do?

89
00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:53,200
Speaker 6: Oh?

90
00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:54,520
Speaker 3: He went ninety eight yards?

91
00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:57,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, a drive of ninety eight yards in that game

92
00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 2: and made some key throws they get in the end zone.

93
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:02,600
Speaker 3: I mean, that's what you wanted of your backup.

94
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:03,040
Speaker 5: Yep.

95
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:05,480
Speaker 2: Just the opportunity to like, okay started gets hurt. All Right,

96
00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:08,320
Speaker 2: we're the bus, isn't stopping, Chad. You just going to

97
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:09,480
Speaker 2: the driver's seat and go do it.

98
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:12,520
Speaker 1: We don't know who the Texans backup is going to

99
00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:14,720
Speaker 1: be when they played the New England Patriots one week

100
00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:16,800
Speaker 1: from tonight, because we don't know who's starting, but we

101
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:19,840
Speaker 1: do know that we did watch practice today, Johnny, So

102
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:23,839
Speaker 1: what were your top one or two takeaways from day seven?

103
00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:26,760
Speaker 2: Quite frankly, I thought it was the best offensive practice

104
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:30,400
Speaker 2: I've seen minus minus obviously what happened with Scotti Q

105
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:34,680
Speaker 2: and I was just that was tough because before that

106
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:39,960
Speaker 2: it felt like that practice was amped up volume ten.

107
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:42,960
Speaker 2: And the first play was reverse to Robert Woods and

108
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:45,400
Speaker 2: the offense had them. It was they duped him. It

109
00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:48,280
Speaker 2: was a great play call, and Roberts running the ball

110
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:52,520
Speaker 2: down a field and gets absolutely thwacked by Jimmy Ward.

111
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:54,160
Speaker 3: I mean he got popped.

112
00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:56,800
Speaker 2: It was a it was a non practice kind of

113
00:04:56,880 --> 00:05:00,280
Speaker 2: hit and it kind of woke up both sides start

114
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:00,640
Speaker 2: kind of.

115
00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:01,520
Speaker 3: Yapping at each other.

116
00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:04,599
Speaker 2: It was really kind of fiery and they were going

117
00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:05,120
Speaker 2: at it.

118
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:08,279
Speaker 3: A few plays later. CJ. Stroud threw the best ball

119
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:09,960
Speaker 3: of his Texans career.

120
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:13,919
Speaker 2: Basically, he threw a fade route to Nico Collins, and

121
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:16,640
Speaker 2: it's one of those if you throw a fade route

122
00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:19,960
Speaker 2: to a six to four receiver or taller, you throw

123
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:22,080
Speaker 2: it this way. If you got a six foot receiver,

124
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:24,880
Speaker 2: maybe you gotta do more back shoulder. He threw the

125
00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:28,600
Speaker 2: perfect ball, the perfect ball to Nico Collins, and when

126
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:31,760
Speaker 2: he did that, place went off. The offense was crazy.

127
00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:33,800
Speaker 2: All the Blue Shirts are running down in the ens.

128
00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:37,920
Speaker 2: I mean they're going nuts. They're talking trash. The next

129
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:39,960
Speaker 2: drive the defense starts talking trash. There was a play

130
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:44,279
Speaker 2: where Davis Mills he dropped back the pass and he

131
00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:46,159
Speaker 2: had to roll right because there was nothing open. So

132
00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:49,320
Speaker 2: he rolls right, so he's running right at.

133
00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:50,880
Speaker 3: Me or you know, near me.

134
00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:55,880
Speaker 2: I can hear the defensive players chasing him and talking

135
00:05:55,960 --> 00:06:00,360
Speaker 2: trash at the same time, like full on sprint and basically,

136
00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:04,159
Speaker 2: I'm gonna get you, sucker. I mean as the amount

137
00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:06,599
Speaker 2: of bound and I'm dying loud.

138
00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:07,800
Speaker 3: I'm like, this is hilarious.

139
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:10,400
Speaker 2: I mean they were yapping the whole time. It was

140
00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:12,800
Speaker 2: It was good, it was great intensity, But I thought

141
00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:15,960
Speaker 2: the offense. Look, there were some procedure penalties and some things,

142
00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:19,120
Speaker 2: but I thought CJ was excellent. I thought Davis made

143
00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:20,599
Speaker 2: some really nice throws. He made a nice one on

144
00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:23,080
Speaker 2: a on a hard count. He got the defensive jump

145
00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:25,760
Speaker 2: and he automatic to a nine route and Xavier just

146
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:27,960
Speaker 2: couldn't hold on to it. I mean, it's a great throw,

147
00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:30,400
Speaker 2: and it's exactly what you do in that situation. You

148
00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:33,320
Speaker 2: get the off side penalty, you go deep and Xavier

149
00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:34,880
Speaker 2: hadn't beat by step. You're just gonna hang out of

150
00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:37,360
Speaker 2: the ball. But hopefully that'll happen. I thought Run Game

151
00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:38,960
Speaker 2: was better too. That would be the other takeaway. I

152
00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:41,080
Speaker 2: thought Run Game was was very very good, and there

153
00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:43,279
Speaker 2: was a there was a run. There was a period

154
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:47,120
Speaker 2: Team Tour Team three, and the last play of that

155
00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:51,680
Speaker 2: period before they went to the next drill was a

156
00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:55,120
Speaker 2: run by Xavier and Valde, and they they showed it

157
00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:57,880
Speaker 2: up on the video board, but because they hadn't gone

158
00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:00,839
Speaker 2: to the next drill yet, they kept showing all four

159
00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:02,000
Speaker 2: angles that they have.

160
00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:03,440
Speaker 3: So they got all twenty two.

161
00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:06,440
Speaker 2: Then they've got an end zone, then they've got another view,

162
00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:08,440
Speaker 2: and then they've got a wide angle end zone. So

163
00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:10,400
Speaker 2: they got four views, so they show them all on

164
00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:13,760
Speaker 2: the video board and so kind of watching and this

165
00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:18,360
Speaker 2: was watching a different facet of the play. See this

166
00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:21,880
Speaker 2: jump cut by Xavier going from right to left. Like

167
00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:24,560
Speaker 2: I said, Trey Dre watching Andre wear birthday boy, Happy

168
00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:26,840
Speaker 2: Birthday Drey, And I said, Drey, watch his cut and

169
00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:28,960
Speaker 2: you could see it from the endzone view perfectly because

170
00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:30,720
Speaker 2: he starts right and all of a sudden he gets

171
00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:33,560
Speaker 2: like how did he get over to the left and

172
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:35,640
Speaker 2: keep going at the same time, then you're like, oh,

173
00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:38,360
Speaker 2: look at that block, Like you saw the different aspects

174
00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:41,640
Speaker 2: to that particular play that made it successful. So I

175
00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:45,360
Speaker 2: thought the Run Game was It wasn't perfect, but it

176
00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:47,480
Speaker 2: was much better, much better than it's been though. It

177
00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:49,680
Speaker 2: was a good offensive day, really really good for CJ.

178
00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:51,480
Speaker 2: Stroud and I like seeing the run game do what

179
00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:51,760
Speaker 2: it did.

180
00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:53,560
Speaker 4: Incremental improvement.

181
00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:56,440
Speaker 1: That's what Demiko rans is looking for, That's what Nick

182
00:07:56,520 --> 00:07:58,320
Speaker 1: Cassario is looking for.

183
00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:00,320
Speaker 4: And we had a chance to sit down with him.

184
00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:02,920
Speaker 1: Let's get a little nicked night in here now with

185
00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:04,000
Speaker 1: Nick reloaded.

186
00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:06,760
Speaker 4: As we headed into day seven.

187
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:09,080
Speaker 7: Day seven, it is hard to believe that, Yeah, it's.

188
00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:13,520
Speaker 1: Longer, well a couple of days off. Ye, right, But

189
00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:15,640
Speaker 1: what do you do on a day off? How do

190
00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:18,040
Speaker 1: you spend your time and maybe some of your staff.

191
00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:21,400
Speaker 8: Yeah, so yesterday it was a real productive day. First

192
00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:23,960
Speaker 8: opportunity to kind of meet and go through the personnel

193
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:26,880
Speaker 8: and kind of go through by position, just some observations.

194
00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:30,600
Speaker 8: Look at it from the coach's perspective. Had six practices

195
00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:32,800
Speaker 8: or whatever it's been to this point, so try toccumulate

196
00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:33,920
Speaker 8: some information.

197
00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:35,679
Speaker 7: Kind of look at the rep allocation.

198
00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:38,520
Speaker 8: Maybe there's a player that you know on a daily basis,

199
00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:41,160
Speaker 8: we get the rep counter rep chart, so if you

200
00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:42,880
Speaker 8: can see if a player is maybe a little bit low,

201
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:44,640
Speaker 8: maybe we have to give that player a few more

202
00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:47,080
Speaker 8: reps that we can evaluate them. So I'd say the

203
00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:50,440
Speaker 8: off day is really more about logistics organization. Meet with

204
00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:53,120
Speaker 8: some different people different departments, get caught up on some

205
00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:54,640
Speaker 8: things and kind of get ready to go for the

206
00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:57,439
Speaker 8: next practice. And then you know, try to take advantage

207
00:08:57,480 --> 00:08:59,160
Speaker 8: if you get a few minutes, you know, try to

208
00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:01,240
Speaker 8: get out here, to get out at a reasonable hour,

209
00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:03,760
Speaker 8: get refreshed and get ready to go. So the players

210
00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:05,680
Speaker 8: are out of the building for the most part, but

211
00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:08,120
Speaker 8: you have quite a few fair amount of players that

212
00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:10,360
Speaker 8: come in a building and get treatment, get rehab, get

213
00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:12,960
Speaker 8: work on, meet with a coach. There's a player in

214
00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:15,840
Speaker 8: meeting with Corey on On there the other day, so

215
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:20,640
Speaker 8: it's really you could take advantage of the opportunity to

216
00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:24,120
Speaker 8: make some improvements and adjustments. Look at the schedule, and

217
00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:26,199
Speaker 8: then I think as we turn a page in the

218
00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:27,720
Speaker 8: next week. I mean, it's hard to believe we're a

219
00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:30,280
Speaker 8: week away from playing football. So once we play a game,

220
00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:34,439
Speaker 8: then those off days will be evaluate the league, evaluate

221
00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:37,760
Speaker 8: other rosters, evaluate other players, and kind of get prepared.

222
00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:40,160
Speaker 7: Here. I would say for the end of the end

223
00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:41,360
Speaker 7: of August sounds.

224
00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:42,640
Speaker 3: Like a teacher in service day.

225
00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:45,719
Speaker 2: You're happy in some sense the kids are out so

226
00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:48,080
Speaker 2: you can actually get some work done, which is kind

227
00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:51,160
Speaker 2: of nice. Speaking of kids being out, Nick, we were

228
00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:52,560
Speaker 2: just talking about this a little while ago. The tight

229
00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:54,960
Speaker 2: end position has kind of been beset by some injuries

230
00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:56,600
Speaker 2: and some things. You've had to bring in a couple

231
00:09:56,640 --> 00:09:58,719
Speaker 2: of guys. What can you tell us about some of

232
00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:00,319
Speaker 2: the reinforcements at tight end.

233
00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:02,040
Speaker 7: Yeah, this is what training camps about.

234
00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:05,760
Speaker 8: You know, sometimes you're gonna lose multiple players at multiple spots,

235
00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:08,280
Speaker 8: so you have to look at what your options are,

236
00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:10,480
Speaker 8: what your alternatives are, and just trying to manage a roster,

237
00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:12,480
Speaker 8: trying to manage practice if you have to adjust the

238
00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:14,840
Speaker 8: practice script or maybe use a little bit of less

239
00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:18,040
Speaker 8: to twelve and more eleven and twenty one, whatever the

240
00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:20,520
Speaker 8: case may be. But in this situation over the last

241
00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:24,520
Speaker 8: couple of days, so we added Dalton before the practice

242
00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:27,320
Speaker 8: there the other day, so has some experience. I would say,

243
00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:30,560
Speaker 8: kind of full back to tight end, so maybe offset

244
00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:33,600
Speaker 8: kind of Troy's I'd say roll to some degree.

245
00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:34,840
Speaker 7: We're going to use a fullback.

246
00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:36,720
Speaker 8: We're going to be a twenty one personnel team, so

247
00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:39,600
Speaker 8: being able to use that in the preseason. Andrew probably

248
00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:41,520
Speaker 8: won't be in there for the duration of the game

249
00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:44,800
Speaker 8: so in order to continue with the twenty one runs

250
00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:46,559
Speaker 8: and kind of handle the running game. So I'd say

251
00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:48,880
Speaker 8: that was kind of the rationale and the thought process

252
00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:51,040
Speaker 8: behind Dalton a little bit. And then I'd say Vannett

253
00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:55,400
Speaker 8: has some experience, has been on multiple teams, big guy, uh,

254
00:10:55,440 --> 00:11:01,319
Speaker 8: pretty athletic for bends well, moves well for his size, tough,

255
00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:05,080
Speaker 8: so has some experience kind of in different systems. In

256
00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:07,360
Speaker 8: last year's kind of New Orleans and finished the year

257
00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:10,439
Speaker 8: with the Giants, So no, Siaco is really it's kind

258
00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:14,560
Speaker 8: of adding to the group, create some competition. I'd say

259
00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:16,600
Speaker 8: there's probably a lot of question marks at that spot

260
00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:18,400
Speaker 8: right now. We've had some guys in and out, so

261
00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:20,240
Speaker 8: we'll kind of find out what we have here the

262
00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:22,280
Speaker 8: next I would say, three or four weeks, and then

263
00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:24,160
Speaker 8: who can we actually count on once we get to

264
00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:26,840
Speaker 8: the regular season, once Baltimore rolls around it.

265
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:28,880
Speaker 1: I know it's diving down a bit, but you brought

266
00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:31,199
Speaker 1: up Andrew Andrew Beck and Johnny caught up with him

267
00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:34,640
Speaker 1: yesterday or the day before. What kind of skill set

268
00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:38,000
Speaker 1: and contribution do you expect from a player like that.

269
00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:38,840
Speaker 4: In this offense?

270
00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:43,400
Speaker 8: Yeah, I think the diversity and multiplicity of roles is

271
00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:46,160
Speaker 8: what that player can. If you look at the full

272
00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:48,960
Speaker 8: back position league wide, say a couple things. It's kind

273
00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:51,199
Speaker 8: of out of favor. Not everybody employees a full back,

274
00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:53,520
Speaker 8: but I would say if you have a fullback, he

275
00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:55,800
Speaker 8: maybe just a full back, or maybe have a full

276
00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:57,880
Speaker 8: back that can also play in the line of scrimmage

277
00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:01,200
Speaker 8: in some of your multiple tight end packets. So let's

278
00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:03,679
Speaker 8: say and Andrew's case or situation. When you go back

279
00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:07,120
Speaker 8: and watch them in Denver last year. He probably played

280
00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:09,440
Speaker 8: as much on the line of scrimmage as much as

281
00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:11,040
Speaker 8: he did off the line of scrimm as they used

282
00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:13,920
Speaker 8: a bunch of twelve and thirteen personnel, so I wouldn't

283
00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:16,880
Speaker 8: say the full back the traditional fullback use, but they

284
00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:19,679
Speaker 8: had some alignments where he was in the backfield.

285
00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:21,440
Speaker 7: So Andrews is a smart kid.

286
00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:25,480
Speaker 8: He's very tough, He's got a great demeanor, great personality.

287
00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:28,679
Speaker 8: We actually signed him when he came out of ut

288
00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:31,360
Speaker 8: in New England as an undrafted free agent, and then

289
00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:34,000
Speaker 8: we released him and then he ended up I think

290
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:36,199
Speaker 8: he went to Denver. He was out in Denver there

291
00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:38,680
Speaker 8: for a period of time. So has some experience in

292
00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:41,320
Speaker 8: rolling the kicking games. So a combination of what can

293
00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:44,840
Speaker 8: they do offensively maybe outside of the traditional fullback role,

294
00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:47,319
Speaker 8: can they carve out a role for themselves in a

295
00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:49,719
Speaker 8: kicking game. So not to get too far ahead, but

296
00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:51,840
Speaker 8: we take forty seven players of the game, probably have

297
00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:54,120
Speaker 8: twenty players on offense, So how are we going to

298
00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:57,600
Speaker 8: utilize the resources that we have. Andrew's been great to

299
00:12:57,640 --> 00:13:00,240
Speaker 8: work with. It's got a great attitude. So we're happy

300
00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:00,720
Speaker 8: that he's here.

301
00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:03,840
Speaker 2: Nick, because you as the league gets into preseason games,

302
00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:05,960
Speaker 2: even teams you're not gonna face if you do face

303
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:09,000
Speaker 2: the Jets and the Browns. But obviously those games are

304
00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:11,199
Speaker 2: way down the road. But how is your process and

305
00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:15,480
Speaker 2: your team's process for when those preseason games are played.

306
00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:17,560
Speaker 3: Are scout there watching them?

307
00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:19,120
Speaker 2: I mean, I know there's a lot of vanilla stuff

308
00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:21,360
Speaker 2: that they're doing their preseason, but just the personnel itself.

309
00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:22,640
Speaker 8: Is that something you can watch on film? How do

310
00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:24,640
Speaker 8: you kind of go about to know It's a great question.

311
00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:26,400
Speaker 8: We actually met on that the other day. Kind of

312
00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:30,000
Speaker 8: set up the preseason scouting schedule, so we'll have essentially

313
00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:33,120
Speaker 8: one scout allocated to X number of teams, so they'll

314
00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:37,440
Speaker 8: be responsible for watching those teams, say our first three opponents.

315
00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:40,319
Speaker 8: Whoever the advanced scout is on those particular teams, we'll

316
00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:43,080
Speaker 8: obviously watch with a little more i'd say heightened awareness.

317
00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:47,360
Speaker 8: There's a schematic element to your point, John says, vanilla

318
00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:50,440
Speaker 8: but basic for the most part. But you're trying to

319
00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:53,880
Speaker 8: get into a rhythm and flow of where they line

320
00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:56,920
Speaker 8: players up. I'd say the evaluation is going to be

321
00:13:56,920 --> 00:14:00,679
Speaker 8: more personnel driven or specific strengths weaknesses, and then you're

322
00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:03,079
Speaker 8: trying to figure out the composition of the team. Looks

323
00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:05,080
Speaker 8: like they're using this player in this role. They're gonna

324
00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:07,400
Speaker 8: keep X number of players at this spot. Here's some

325
00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:10,000
Speaker 8: of the players that might be available. We typically try

326
00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:13,280
Speaker 8: to target each thirty two, six through seventh and undrafted

327
00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:16,880
Speaker 8: players because typically those are the players that are probably

328
00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:19,320
Speaker 8: most prone to potentially being released. You might have a

329
00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:22,680
Speaker 8: younger veteran player, second third year player who maybe is

330
00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:24,120
Speaker 8: on the fence, so if.

331
00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:26,320
Speaker 7: He becomes available, that's somebody that you want to add

332
00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:26,840
Speaker 7: to your team.

333
00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:29,200
Speaker 8: So you can't look at everybody. I'd say the one

334
00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:31,800
Speaker 8: thing that's different this year as opposed to year's pass,

335
00:14:31,880 --> 00:14:35,240
Speaker 8: we're gonna go from ninety to fifty three in one day, right,

336
00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:37,240
Speaker 8: you know, over the course of one to two days.

337
00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:41,200
Speaker 8: So you're gonna have thirty seven times thirty two players,

338
00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:43,680
Speaker 8: almost one thousand players that are gonna end up on

339
00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:47,640
Speaker 8: a waiver wire in some capacity or some other transaction.

340
00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:50,120
Speaker 8: They go to injury reserve, they stay on pup. So

341
00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:53,080
Speaker 8: you can't look at everybody. You really have to streamline

342
00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:55,000
Speaker 8: it and maybe make it a little bit more focused.

343
00:14:55,280 --> 00:14:57,120
Speaker 8: Look at your team. This goes back to we talk

344
00:14:57,160 --> 00:15:00,240
Speaker 8: about you have to understand your team as well as

345
00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:03,240
Speaker 8: anybody before you do anything else. If you don't understand

346
00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:05,680
Speaker 8: your team, you can't look externally and figure out where

347
00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:09,000
Speaker 8: your options are. So but there's definitely a process in

348
00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:11,520
Speaker 8: place of evaluating those games, and when the games are

349
00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:13,800
Speaker 8: uploaded to the system, our tech guys do a great

350
00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:15,600
Speaker 8: job making sure those are available. You come in the

351
00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:17,480
Speaker 8: next day, and then you can start to go through

352
00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:19,040
Speaker 8: and kind of get an idea of maybe how a

353
00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:22,320
Speaker 8: team is playing, who's playing where, understanding that some players

354
00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:24,680
Speaker 8: might play ten to fifteen plays, some might not play

355
00:15:24,680 --> 00:15:26,920
Speaker 8: at all. You're gonna be watching potentially a lot of

356
00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:29,920
Speaker 8: backup level players. But you can still get a lot

357
00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:32,920
Speaker 8: out of that process. And it's really more about personnel

358
00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:35,040
Speaker 8: evaluation than maybe it's scheme evaluation.

359
00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:38,320
Speaker 1: Nick number one question we get from fans, I'll just

360
00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:40,200
Speaker 1: put it this way, how are your quarterbacks looking?

361
00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:44,520
Speaker 8: Yeah, they've all I would say it had their moments,

362
00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:48,080
Speaker 8: So I would say the big thing with the quarterback

363
00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:50,280
Speaker 8: position goes back to decision making and taking care of

364
00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:52,240
Speaker 8: the football. So you start with that lens and then

365
00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:54,640
Speaker 8: you look at the actual play. Are they playing on time?

366
00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:58,080
Speaker 8: Are they making the right decision, even if there's something

367
00:15:58,080 --> 00:16:01,040
Speaker 8: that happens on the play, if they're and missed assignment

368
00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:04,160
Speaker 8: or something like that, all right, did that affect the play,

369
00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:07,600
Speaker 8: And then you can't necessarily penalize another player or another

370
00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:10,560
Speaker 8: position if something happened somewhere else along the line.

371
00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:12,480
Speaker 7: So they've all had their moments.

372
00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:14,640
Speaker 8: I think the big thing that we want to focus

373
00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:16,240
Speaker 8: on is just taking care of the football.

374
00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:17,760
Speaker 7: I think we've turned the ball over a little bit.

375
00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:20,280
Speaker 8: Offensively here the last you know, two or three days

376
00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:22,640
Speaker 8: of practice, and the things that we can control are

377
00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:27,720
Speaker 8: pre snat penalties, turnovers, decision making, just operational elements, and

378
00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:29,280
Speaker 8: I'd say we've been a little bit up and down

379
00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:32,960
Speaker 8: offensively in those areas, and everybody's responsible for that. So

380
00:16:33,520 --> 00:16:35,960
Speaker 8: you go from first and ten to first and fifteen.

381
00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:38,080
Speaker 8: Or we had a situation in practice it was third

382
00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:39,920
Speaker 8: and nine, we had a delay, then we had a

383
00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:41,480
Speaker 8: false start, so you go from third to nine to

384
00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:44,720
Speaker 8: third nineteen. So it's really just those are the plays

385
00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:47,440
Speaker 8: we can control that we can eliminate, So take those

386
00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:49,680
Speaker 8: plays out of it. Nothing to do with scheme, So

387
00:16:49,920 --> 00:16:51,960
Speaker 8: just try to be a little bit cleaner with the execution.

388
00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:52,720
Speaker 7: It'll be more.

389
00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:55,040
Speaker 8: Efficient with the operation, take care of the football, and

390
00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:57,400
Speaker 8: then from a quarterback, len just making sure that we're

391
00:16:57,440 --> 00:16:59,680
Speaker 8: going the right direction, the right area with the football.

392
00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:02,560
Speaker 2: All right, Nick, your permanent scout at the University of Alabama,

393
00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:04,760
Speaker 2: has done seemingly a pretty good job. So I'm expecting

394
00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:07,600
Speaker 2: kool Aid, McKinstry, and Turner to be part of this

395
00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:10,080
Speaker 2: team next year because the guys you've added from Alabama

396
00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:12,240
Speaker 2: the defensive side of the BAAR are pretty impressive. But

397
00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:14,359
Speaker 2: the one that stands out to me for this reason,

398
00:17:14,840 --> 00:17:16,320
Speaker 2: And Mark and I have talked about this because he's

399
00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:18,240
Speaker 2: asked this question, so I'll ask you the same question.

400
00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:21,000
Speaker 2: And I don't want to heap too much praise on

401
00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:23,440
Speaker 2: because he's a rookid, get that. But when you watch

402
00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:26,479
Speaker 2: Henry toatoy, you look at it and go why on

403
00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:29,760
Speaker 2: day three? Like what was it that got him to

404
00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:32,320
Speaker 2: day three? Because you can see the smarts, you can

405
00:17:32,359 --> 00:17:34,520
Speaker 2: see history area quickly, you can see all the things

406
00:17:34,520 --> 00:17:37,200
Speaker 2: you would really like in a linebacker, And I'm going, well,

407
00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:38,240
Speaker 2: how day three?

408
00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:40,840
Speaker 8: There's a marriat of factors that go into why a

409
00:17:40,880 --> 00:17:43,680
Speaker 8: player falls or whatever. But I would say just when

410
00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:46,959
Speaker 8: you look at the linebacker position. League wide, the majority

411
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:48,760
Speaker 8: of the players kind of are going to end up

412
00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:51,399
Speaker 8: in this sort of three to five band, So you

413
00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:54,000
Speaker 8: find varying levels of players in those areas. I wouldn't

414
00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:56,920
Speaker 8: say the gap between the player that's picked in round

415
00:17:56,960 --> 00:18:00,240
Speaker 8: three that significant difference between the player that's picked in

416
00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:04,399
Speaker 8: round five. So they all have probably similar traits or characteristics.

417
00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:08,600
Speaker 8: Why a player falls ultimately, we can't answer that. So

418
00:18:09,119 --> 00:18:11,679
Speaker 8: what we can do is go back to our evaluation

419
00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:14,240
Speaker 8: of the player. Kind of trust our information, and I

420
00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:16,359
Speaker 8: would say that was a player as we were going

421
00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:18,960
Speaker 8: through from day two to day three. You set the

422
00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:21,000
Speaker 8: board up for a certain reason, and you have a

423
00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:22,520
Speaker 8: players greater at a certain level.

424
00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:25,879
Speaker 7: So you just work horizontally across.

425
00:18:25,640 --> 00:18:27,199
Speaker 8: The board and vertically up and down, and if a

426
00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:29,320
Speaker 8: player stands out for some reason, then you have a

427
00:18:29,359 --> 00:18:32,040
Speaker 8: discussion about it and say, all right, if this makes sense,

428
00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:33,680
Speaker 8: then we'll go ahead and make the decision add to

429
00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:36,399
Speaker 8: the player to our team. So but I would say,

430
00:18:36,560 --> 00:18:38,320
Speaker 8: when you go back and just look at his career,

431
00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:40,159
Speaker 8: he was productive at Tennessee, he.

432
00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:41,280
Speaker 7: Was productive at Alabama.

433
00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:43,400
Speaker 8: Maybe he's not the biggest guy or the fastest guy

434
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:47,280
Speaker 8: playing linebacker, which I would say playing defense, generally speaking,

435
00:18:47,359 --> 00:18:49,600
Speaker 8: it's really it's about instincts, and it's about awareness, and

436
00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:53,480
Speaker 8: it's about anticipatory play. If you lack a physical attribute,

437
00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:55,480
Speaker 8: a physical trait, maybe you can make up for it

438
00:18:55,480 --> 00:18:58,800
Speaker 8: in some other way. So, you know, I think he's

439
00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:01,840
Speaker 8: been consistent from the spring until now, so he's been

440
00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:04,800
Speaker 8: able to absorb the information, he's been able to make

441
00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:08,760
Speaker 8: the adjustments on the field. He's an active communicator and

442
00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:10,840
Speaker 8: he shows up around the ball, which I would say

443
00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:11,760
Speaker 8: those are emble mattic.

444
00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:13,480
Speaker 7: I'd say one thing, if you want to knock.

445
00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:16,199
Speaker 8: Him on something, tackling at times was a little bit

446
00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:17,919
Speaker 8: of an issue. Kind of at the point of contact,

447
00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:20,360
Speaker 8: he would fall off of some things. So whether it's

448
00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:23,000
Speaker 8: a strength efficiency or whatever it may be. So we

449
00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:25,720
Speaker 8: haven't tackled anybody live yet, so I think that'll be

450
00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:28,320
Speaker 8: the next phase in our overall arc and development. We'll

451
00:19:28,359 --> 00:19:30,840
Speaker 8: be able to tackle live next Thursday night in New England.

452
00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:34,159
Speaker 8: So but you know, we're happy that he's here. We'll

453
00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:35,760
Speaker 8: see how it all plays out. I would say that

454
00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:39,520
Speaker 8: group that position is probably as deep and competitive as

455
00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:42,679
Speaker 8: there is any on the team. There's a good chance

456
00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:44,840
Speaker 8: that group if they're not on our team.

457
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:47,800
Speaker 7: They're gonna end up on another roster whoever those players are.

458
00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:50,680
Speaker 8: So, however many we keep, probably aren't gonna be able

459
00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:52,639
Speaker 8: to keep everybody. But there's a good chance that some

460
00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:54,879
Speaker 8: of those players are gonna up. We're gonna see him

461
00:19:54,920 --> 00:19:55,639
Speaker 8: during the course of the year.

462
00:19:56,040 --> 00:19:58,879
Speaker 1: Well, it's funny you mentioned the tackling because sometimes I'm

463
00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:01,040
Speaker 1: watching practice out here, I'll see a really good offensive

464
00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:03,240
Speaker 1: play and then, well, wait a minute, somebody might have

465
00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:05,479
Speaker 1: been sacked or whatever on that play. You see Will

466
00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:08,080
Speaker 1: Anderson getting into the backfield. You have to mark all

467
00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:10,080
Speaker 1: that down right in your evaluation. I mean, you like

468
00:20:10,119 --> 00:20:12,160
Speaker 1: seeing the receiver make a nice catch and so maybe

469
00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:14,560
Speaker 1: there's a benefit to that too, the play continuing, what

470
00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:15,640
Speaker 1: about that part of it now.

471
00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:17,560
Speaker 7: Yeah, no, it's a great point mark It works both ways.

472
00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:23,280
Speaker 8: So assignment, execution and defense are gonna have good plays.

473
00:20:23,320 --> 00:20:25,480
Speaker 8: Offense are gonna have good plays. So you really want

474
00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:28,000
Speaker 8: to let the play play out. So everybody, and Dimiko's

475
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:30,800
Speaker 8: talked about this, it's about finishing. It's about being around

476
00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:33,840
Speaker 8: the ball and storm into the football. So just if

477
00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:36,400
Speaker 8: you happen to have a sack or whatever, it may be,

478
00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:40,159
Speaker 8: like stay off the quarterback, stay away from collisions in

479
00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:42,280
Speaker 8: the pocket. But there's gonna be pressure in the pockets,

480
00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:44,119
Speaker 8: so quarterbacks are gonna have to learn how to maneuver,

481
00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:47,320
Speaker 8: how to adjust, so tag off or avoid contact, but

482
00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:49,720
Speaker 8: finish the play so that the rest of the play,

483
00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:52,160
Speaker 8: the rest of the defense can finish their assignment. Finish

484
00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:53,600
Speaker 8: their play. Then you can go back and correct it

485
00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:55,560
Speaker 8: and say, or what happened on the play? We were

486
00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:58,080
Speaker 8: good here, but this happened so and then you have

487
00:20:58,119 --> 00:21:00,680
Speaker 8: to put it all together. So you take all elements

488
00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:03,520
Speaker 8: into the play, you evaluate them, and then you know

489
00:21:03,560 --> 00:21:05,879
Speaker 8: are they doing the right thing and they making good decisions?

490
00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:08,280
Speaker 8: And I think we will try to emphasize the Miko

491
00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:11,040
Speaker 8: has talked about. This is just practicing smart, practicing the

492
00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:15,000
Speaker 8: right way. We're here to help and serve each other. Still,

493
00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:16,720
Speaker 8: player safety is certainly a part of it, So we

494
00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:18,720
Speaker 8: want to be smart with how we practice, but also

495
00:21:18,760 --> 00:21:20,840
Speaker 8: be very diligent and just making sure that we're actually

496
00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:22,440
Speaker 8: getting something out of each play.

497
00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:28,000
Speaker 2: Nick, you've mentioned going somewhere next week, where's it we goliar? Yes,

498
00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:32,480
Speaker 2: As you get into a preseason game, obviously it's different

499
00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:35,359
Speaker 2: than a regular season game. Week, et cetera. But how

500
00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:37,840
Speaker 2: much prep do you actually put into the team you're

501
00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:39,000
Speaker 2: about to face, do you?

502
00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:40,720
Speaker 3: Is it more about the personnel you're facing.

503
00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:42,640
Speaker 2: I mean, obviously I know the team could walk down

504
00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:44,480
Speaker 2: the hall and talk to somebody that knows that other team.

505
00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:46,679
Speaker 2: But how much kind of prep you put in to

506
00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:47,800
Speaker 2: getting ready for that game?

507
00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:48,160
Speaker 7: Yeah?

508
00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:50,800
Speaker 8: Sure, I think you want to have just a preliminary

509
00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:53,040
Speaker 8: overview of the team, so you might just kind of.

510
00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:53,719
Speaker 7: Paint a picture.

511
00:21:54,119 --> 00:21:57,199
Speaker 8: Okay, philosophically, here are some of the things that they

512
00:21:57,320 --> 00:21:58,520
Speaker 8: like to do on each side of the ball.

513
00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:01,040
Speaker 7: So there's been a little bit of change offensively.

514
00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:03,000
Speaker 8: So abillity with the offensive coordinator, maybe some of the

515
00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:05,880
Speaker 8: things that might be relevant to Billy on their offense.

516
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:09,320
Speaker 8: So and then understanding the personnel on their team. Here

517
00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:11,440
Speaker 8: are the rookies that they've added to the team. Here's

518
00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:13,159
Speaker 8: some new players that they've added. Here's some of the

519
00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:15,240
Speaker 8: players that we're probably going to have an opportunity to

520
00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:16,080
Speaker 8: see on the field.

521
00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:17,960
Speaker 7: What are some of their strengths, What are some of

522
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:18,680
Speaker 7: their weaknesses.

523
00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:21,960
Speaker 8: So you want to start that preparation process that you

524
00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:22,880
Speaker 8: normally use.

525
00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:23,520
Speaker 7: Going into a game.

526
00:22:23,560 --> 00:22:27,520
Speaker 8: You might not get in depth related to scheme, it's

527
00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:30,080
Speaker 8: really more general overview. Here's some of the things they

528
00:22:30,119 --> 00:22:33,399
Speaker 8: do in some of these different areas. We have scouts

529
00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:35,760
Speaker 8: that are tracking these teams from the started training camp

530
00:22:35,840 --> 00:22:38,280
Speaker 8: until now, and as you're reading about your team, here

531
00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:40,040
Speaker 8: are some of the things that have popped up. Here

532
00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:43,359
Speaker 8: are some themes that have repeated themselves. So it's really

533
00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:46,000
Speaker 8: getting that information to the coaches, and then the coaches

534
00:22:46,040 --> 00:22:48,000
Speaker 8: can take the information and provided to the players so

535
00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:51,040
Speaker 8: you have an overall awareness and understanding of a who

536
00:22:51,080 --> 00:22:53,720
Speaker 8: you're playing against. B Schematically, what are some of the

537
00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:56,040
Speaker 8: things that say. Defensively, it's a different front than we

538
00:22:56,080 --> 00:22:59,439
Speaker 8: see here on a day to day basis. So the

539
00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:01,480
Speaker 8: front struck, sure, it's a little bit different. Okay, it's

540
00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:03,640
Speaker 8: base defense, it's this when they go to sub defense

541
00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:05,320
Speaker 8: here to some of the different things. So you kind

542
00:23:05,320 --> 00:23:07,840
Speaker 8: of start that process of week to week, it's gonna change,

543
00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:10,119
Speaker 8: it's gonna be different, and then as a player you

544
00:23:10,119 --> 00:23:12,840
Speaker 8: can kind of start to go through your initial preparation process.

545
00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:15,280
Speaker 8: We're gonna have two days of practice, then we're gonna

546
00:23:15,280 --> 00:23:17,879
Speaker 8: travel Wednesday, and then we're gonna meet in the morning

547
00:23:17,880 --> 00:23:19,480
Speaker 8: on Thursday. Then we're gonna play the game, they're gonna

548
00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:21,880
Speaker 8: come back, so you want to start your I would

549
00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:25,400
Speaker 8: say process, however, you prepare to get ready to play

550
00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:27,639
Speaker 8: an opponent. So we absolutely, John will kind of go

551
00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:30,920
Speaker 8: through that, maybe on a smaller scale, but certainly make

552
00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:32,560
Speaker 8: sure that you know, we spend some time on that.

553
00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:34,800
Speaker 1: What's that gonna be like for you personally being back

554
00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:36,720
Speaker 1: in that building you worked there for so many years.

555
00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:37,359
Speaker 7: Yeah, and we'll be.

556
00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:39,760
Speaker 8: Back in the building, back on the field, but you know,

557
00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:41,479
Speaker 8: we go back there over the course of the summer,

558
00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:44,320
Speaker 8: so you know, we we spend a lot of time

559
00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:46,920
Speaker 8: there and I met my wife there, So there's a

560
00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:47,639
Speaker 8: lot of great memories.

561
00:23:47,680 --> 00:23:48,119
Speaker 7: There's a lot of.

562
00:23:48,080 --> 00:23:51,800
Speaker 8: Great people certainly appreciative of everything that they did for me.

563
00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:52,160
Speaker 7: There.

564
00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:56,199
Speaker 8: So new new opportunity here, trying to embrace everything that

565
00:23:56,240 --> 00:23:58,320
Speaker 8: goes on, you know, with the Houston Texans. But I'm

566
00:23:58,359 --> 00:24:00,800
Speaker 8: sure it'll be good to see some people and you know,

567
00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:02,959
Speaker 8: shake a few hands and get a few hugs, or

568
00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:04,840
Speaker 8: you know, maybe some people won't.

569
00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:06,119
Speaker 7: Be happy to see me, but that's okay.

570
00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:09,240
Speaker 1: Who had more success against the Patriots as a road team?

571
00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:11,959
Speaker 1: Teams that stay in Providence or teams that stay involved.

572
00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:12,600
Speaker 7: That's a good question.

573
00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:14,399
Speaker 3: I know you probably know this answer.

574
00:24:14,480 --> 00:24:17,320
Speaker 7: There should be analytics. Yeah, I'm not exactly.

575
00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:20,320
Speaker 8: I think most teams sounds like they do stay down

576
00:24:20,359 --> 00:24:23,840
Speaker 8: in Providence. They usually stay in Providence or up in Waltham,

577
00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:24,680
Speaker 8: which is kind of on.

578
00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:25,960
Speaker 7: The other side. There a worst road.

579
00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:27,960
Speaker 3: We've done both and haven't been successful.

580
00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:28,520
Speaker 7: You've done both.

581
00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:31,720
Speaker 1: Stay in Waltham one year, Nick, and it was maybe

582
00:24:31,760 --> 00:24:35,080
Speaker 1: almost ninety minutes to the stadium Thursday Day sixteen.

583
00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:37,160
Speaker 8: Oh yeah, that was probably in the middle of traffic. Yeah,

584
00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:39,000
Speaker 8: people are believing it was Jacoby's night.

585
00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:42,080
Speaker 4: Oh that's the worst road trip in the league for aliety.

586
00:24:43,560 --> 00:24:44,680
Speaker 3: Thanks a lot for joining us.

587
00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:45,280
Speaker 7: Thanks guys.

588
00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:49,240
Speaker 1: There's our visit with Nick Cassario coming up next. Andre Ware,

589
00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:51,800
Speaker 1: you've heard of him, Johnny mentioned it celebrating a birthday.

590
00:24:52,119 --> 00:24:54,920
Speaker 1: Why not and why not talk about not just the Texans,

591
00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:57,679
Speaker 1: but college conference, Mayhem and all of it here on

593
00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:04,360
Speaker 1: Texans Radio and from this morning, Andrea Ware stopped by

594
00:25:04,600 --> 00:25:08,000
Speaker 1: color commentator Houston, Texans Radio Network and of course ESPN

595
00:25:08,080 --> 00:25:10,760
Speaker 1: and of course nineteen eighty nine Heisman Trophy winner and

596
00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:15,320

Speaker 4: Happy birthday, by the way, Thank you, thank you.

598
00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:19,760
Speaker 3: Stopped counting.

599
00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:24,439
Speaker 9: I did six. That was twenty six when I stopped counting.

600
00:25:24,920 --> 00:25:27,960
Speaker 9: Still there, I feel twenty six thirty nine.

601
00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:32,640
Speaker 1: So yeah, I'm gonna be thirty nine point. I'm running

602
00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:35,879
Speaker 1: out of nine ever for a long time. Heray, what

603
00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:38,160
Speaker 1: are the players feeling at this point of camp? You're

604
00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:42,040
Speaker 1: halfway through the way to get to the first preseason game,

605
00:25:42,160 --> 00:25:44,520
Speaker 1: so your weekend, you had another week to play a game,

606
00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:47,280
Speaker 1: and I guess it varies depending on I'm a veteran,

607
00:25:47,320 --> 00:25:50,200
Speaker 1: I'm gonna make it, or I'm a guy who needs

608
00:25:50,240 --> 00:25:51,960
Speaker 1: to try to make this team or whatever I can.

609
00:25:52,119 --> 00:25:55,679
Speaker 9: Right now, they're in being who is the Jets and

610
00:25:55,680 --> 00:25:58,399
Speaker 9: and the Browns tonight? Because you know, they're tired of

611
00:25:58,400 --> 00:26:01,880
Speaker 9: banging on each other, right of seeing the same uniform,

612
00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:05,360
Speaker 9: same guy you know, every single day, and so you're

613
00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:07,159
Speaker 9: looking at the schedule right now.

614
00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:08,399
Speaker 5: Okay, bring on New England.

615
00:26:08,480 --> 00:26:11,320
Speaker 9: Let's let's let's get ready for that one, because it's

616
00:26:11,359 --> 00:26:13,639
Speaker 9: important for a lot of reasons. Young players trying to

617
00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:16,520
Speaker 9: make a roster of veterans trying to trying to hang

618
00:26:16,560 --> 00:26:19,720
Speaker 9: on to a roster spot in most cases. So, uh,

619
00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:22,720
Speaker 9: they're just ready right now to see somebody different in

620
00:26:22,760 --> 00:26:23,840
Speaker 9: a different color uniform.

621
00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:24,080
Speaker 5: Ray.

622
00:26:24,119 --> 00:26:26,119
Speaker 2: We were just talking about the running backs a little

623
00:26:26,119 --> 00:26:29,760
Speaker 2: while ago and talking about the combination of Damien Pierce

624
00:26:29,920 --> 00:26:32,680
Speaker 2: and Devin Singletary. Yeah, how do you look at that

625
00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:36,360
Speaker 2: that group having those two versus Last year it's Damien,

626
00:26:36,600 --> 00:26:38,920
Speaker 2: but then it's Rex and some others, And years before

627
00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:40,560
Speaker 2: that we saw some older running backs.

628
00:26:40,359 --> 00:26:41,359
Speaker 3: And it didn't really click.

629
00:26:41,840 --> 00:26:44,000
Speaker 2: How do you think things change, not only with the scheme,

630
00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:46,160
Speaker 2: but having the Damien and.

631
00:26:46,080 --> 00:26:48,080
Speaker 3: Devin a guy with that kind of explosiveness.

632
00:26:48,160 --> 00:26:48,360
Speaker 5: Yeah.

633
00:26:48,560 --> 00:26:51,440
Speaker 9: I think Damien proved last year that that he could

634
00:26:51,480 --> 00:26:53,400
Speaker 9: carry the load, that he could be in every down

635
00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:55,760
Speaker 9: back and he's a pretty good receiver coming out of

636
00:26:55,760 --> 00:26:56,720
Speaker 9: the backfield as well.

637
00:26:57,280 --> 00:26:57,399
Speaker 5: Uh.

638
00:26:57,840 --> 00:27:00,120
Speaker 9: When you go the other route, it gives you some

639
00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:02,920
Speaker 9: some versatility, the ability to change and get it back

640
00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:05,360
Speaker 9: out of the backfield and into the flats and then

641
00:27:05,480 --> 00:27:08,320
Speaker 9: you know some speed stuff out on the edges, so

642
00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:11,439
Speaker 9: to change a good change of paceback so to speak.

643
00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:14,280
Speaker 9: And you get it all from Pierce, but the other

644
00:27:14,320 --> 00:27:17,320
Speaker 9: way you kind of get some versatility that the defense

645
00:27:17,359 --> 00:27:19,520
Speaker 9: will have a hard time matching up with Dre.

646
00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:22,560
Speaker 1: They continue to rotate the first team reps with the

647
00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:27,080
Speaker 1: quarterback CJ Stroud Davis Mills case getting the third team reps, and.

648
00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:30,200
Speaker 3: Neither guy is really caught on fire yet.

649
00:27:30,200 --> 00:27:32,959
Speaker 1: They have moments, they have flashes, they have plays, but

650
00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:35,920
Speaker 1: there's not the consistency. Maybe this is our assessment, and

651
00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:38,479
Speaker 1: I don't know how they see it, but your thoughts

652
00:27:38,560 --> 00:27:41,640
Speaker 1: on what it takes, especially for CJ coming in here,

653
00:27:41,640 --> 00:27:44,000
Speaker 1: he's only been in camp all week, he's been through OTAs,

654
00:27:44,280 --> 00:27:45,720
Speaker 1: what is that process like.

655
00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:48,359
Speaker 5: If it's close or close enough, he'll have the job.

656
00:27:48,920 --> 00:27:53,000
Speaker 9: And because he's the younger player that was obviously drafted

657
00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:56,440
Speaker 9: very high second overall, and so he'll get the benefit

658
00:27:56,480 --> 00:27:59,640
Speaker 9: of the doubt and there's more growth there. They've seen

659
00:27:59,680 --> 00:28:03,200
Speaker 9: the and so I just think this is for this

660
00:28:03,280 --> 00:28:05,880
Speaker 9: is created competition. Don't want to say that too loud

661
00:28:05,920 --> 00:28:08,520
Speaker 9: because c J mayhears, but you know, you have to

662
00:28:08,520 --> 00:28:12,240
Speaker 9: create some competition in camp to baby maybe bolster a

663
00:28:12,320 --> 00:28:14,320
Speaker 9: guy into taking over.

664
00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:16,359
Speaker 5: And I think that's exactly what what's going on.

665
00:28:16,440 --> 00:28:18,280
Speaker 2: Okay, it's questions for both of you, but you're I'll

666
00:28:18,280 --> 00:28:21,879
Speaker 2: start with you the game is in seven days, playing

667
00:28:21,880 --> 00:28:24,679
Speaker 2: a week up in New England. I know it's I

668
00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:27,119
Speaker 2: know it's preseason and everybody has a different kind of

669
00:28:27,160 --> 00:28:29,080
Speaker 2: mode as they go through the season. We talked to

670
00:28:29,160 --> 00:28:31,480
Speaker 2: Nick earlier, it's a different mode in preseason. You still

671
00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:33,280
Speaker 2: got to do some things, but it's different than the

672
00:28:33,320 --> 00:28:35,240
Speaker 2: way you do. How do y'all get ready for the

673
00:28:35,280 --> 00:28:39,200
Speaker 2: preseason games versus non how do you guys get ready

674
00:28:39,200 --> 00:28:41,160
Speaker 2: for those preseason games differently?

675
00:28:42,360 --> 00:28:43,360
Speaker 3: Let's just roll out the balls and.

676
00:28:43,840 --> 00:28:46,560
Speaker 9: Preseason is probably the toughest part of the year for me.

677
00:28:47,240 --> 00:28:50,800
Speaker 9: And it's because of all the players and and the

678
00:28:50,920 --> 00:28:54,640
Speaker 9: NFL made it tougher when they stopped the cutdowns because

679
00:28:54,680 --> 00:28:56,600
Speaker 9: every week there would be a cutdown and so there

680
00:28:56,600 --> 00:28:59,120
Speaker 9: are less players to have to to get to know,

681
00:28:59,360 --> 00:29:01,240
Speaker 9: and so yeah, it's it's.

682
00:29:01,040 --> 00:29:03,960
Speaker 5: Just tough in a sense. But you start the week

683
00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:08,600
Speaker 5: and there's a countdown. Every day is gauged, there's time

684
00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:11,160
Speaker 5: allotted for every day and you just kind of go

685
00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:12,840
Speaker 5: about your your business that way.

686
00:29:13,320 --> 00:29:17,240
Speaker 1: Well, for me, it's the hardest time of the year,

687
00:29:17,280 --> 00:29:19,520
Speaker 1: there's no doubt. Just like you said, Andre, you have

688
00:29:19,600 --> 00:29:22,520
Speaker 1: so many players. I memorize all our numbers as well

689
00:29:22,560 --> 00:29:25,560
Speaker 1: as I can. And then you got New England, right,

690
00:29:25,640 --> 00:29:27,880
Speaker 1: so that team I got to get to.

691
00:29:27,880 --> 00:29:31,200
Speaker 5: Know Toss in free agency, and there's no carryover from

692
00:29:31,240 --> 00:29:31,600
Speaker 5: year to you.

693
00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:34,720
Speaker 1: Right, it's it's a little especially you don't see much,

694
00:29:34,920 --> 00:29:36,560
Speaker 1: although you know you feel like you haven't seen them

695
00:29:36,600 --> 00:29:38,400
Speaker 1: in a couple of years. You should know some of

696
00:29:38,440 --> 00:29:41,840
Speaker 1: the guys, but you have to prep, and there's more

697
00:29:41,880 --> 00:29:43,920
Speaker 1: prep than ever. That's why people think, oh, it's just

698
00:29:43,960 --> 00:29:46,360
Speaker 1: a preseason No, these are really important.

699
00:29:46,360 --> 00:29:48,040
Speaker 5: A lot of people think we just roll out and

700
00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:49,400
Speaker 5: just let's go do.

701
00:29:49,360 --> 00:29:53,320
Speaker 1: A game broadcast the look and Look we produce our

702
00:29:53,360 --> 00:29:57,040
Speaker 1: own preseason TV broadcast with Kevin Coogler, Andy Kalou, Drew Doherty,

703
00:29:57,400 --> 00:29:59,560
Speaker 1: and you know, those guys do a ton of work

704
00:29:59,600 --> 00:30:02,400
Speaker 1: to get and for us. Look, I can still call

705
00:30:02,440 --> 00:30:05,080
Speaker 1: the balls and strikes, right those guys if it's a

706
00:30:05,120 --> 00:30:08,320
Speaker 1: blowout or something. They can talk about player evaluation and everything.

707
00:30:08,360 --> 00:30:11,320
Speaker 1: But there's a lot to do for a preseason broadcast,

708
00:30:11,400 --> 00:30:13,400
Speaker 1: and there are a ton of listeners for us and

709
00:30:13,440 --> 00:30:15,680
Speaker 1: a ton of viewers for the TV broadcast. Believe me,

710
00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:19,760
Speaker 1: these TV ratings for preseason games, they are as good

711
00:30:19,760 --> 00:30:22,680
Speaker 1: as anything they get in primetime. All year outside of

712
00:30:23,320 --> 00:30:26,520
Speaker 1: NFL football or the Oscars or things like that. You know,

713
00:30:26,600 --> 00:30:28,959
Speaker 1: you get a five or six rating these days on

714
00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:29,920
Speaker 1: ABC thirteen.

715
00:30:29,960 --> 00:30:30,840
Speaker 4: That's right and home.

716
00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:33,280
Speaker 1: I mean you're thinking that's a huge number and we're

717
00:30:33,280 --> 00:30:35,120
Speaker 1: gonna eclipse that obviously next week.

718
00:30:35,280 --> 00:30:37,360
Speaker 2: Well, I mean, it really help you guys if if

719
00:30:37,400 --> 00:30:39,160
Speaker 2: there was somebody that made me do a lot of

720
00:30:39,160 --> 00:30:41,160
Speaker 2: the rookies and the draft picks from all the tracks.

721
00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:42,120
Speaker 5: Do you know anybody like that?

722
00:30:42,280 --> 00:30:42,640
Speaker 3: I don't know.

723
00:30:42,680 --> 00:30:44,200
Speaker 2: I mean, I'll look out for a guy for you.

724
00:30:44,640 --> 00:30:46,040
Speaker 2: I'll look out, I'll see I'll see what I can.

725
00:30:46,080 --> 00:30:46,760
Speaker 2: I'll see what I can.

726
00:30:46,680 --> 00:30:49,120
Speaker 4: Johnny who doesn't need notes just standing there.

727
00:30:49,400 --> 00:30:49,720
Speaker 7: Oh yeah.

728
00:30:49,720 --> 00:30:51,680
Speaker 2: That one thing about the preseason game is you know

729
00:30:51,720 --> 00:30:54,360
Speaker 2: you can go in going all right, we're facing the Patriots, right,

730
00:30:54,600 --> 00:30:56,360
Speaker 2: so okay, Mac Jones.

731
00:30:56,040 --> 00:30:57,239
Speaker 5: Man, you're not gonna see him.

732
00:30:57,240 --> 00:30:59,720
Speaker 2: I'm not going to see him, or Madre Stevenson probably

733
00:30:59,760 --> 00:31:01,000
Speaker 2: not gonna see him.

734
00:31:01,040 --> 00:31:02,920
Speaker 4: So, but we are going to see Bailey Zappi.

00:31:10,040 --> 00:31:12,560
Speaker 1: Texas State back in the day when France.

738
00:31:12,400 --> 00:31:14,040
Speaker 5: I took a visit there, out of high school.

00:31:14,760 --> 00:31:17,520
Speaker 5: I yeah, I told you this story before.

741
00:31:17,640 --> 00:31:20,000
Speaker 9: Wait wait, wait when I got dropped off on I

742
00:31:20,120 --> 00:31:22,640
Speaker 9: T because they knew, they knew I was going to

00:31:25,520 --> 00:31:26,720
Speaker 5: He dropped me off on I T.

746
00:31:26,880 --> 00:31:28,960
Speaker 9: My cousin had to come all the way from Dickinson

747
00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:31,800
Speaker 9: pick me up, and it would be Katie.

748
00:31:31,800 --> 00:31:33,600
Speaker 2: Now, I would imagine you guys ever played you guys

749
00:31:33,680 --> 00:31:34,880
Speaker 2: never played South with Texas.

750
00:31:35,120 --> 00:31:36,960
Speaker 3: Imagine I tried to back to I.

751
00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:42,800
Speaker 5: Tried to break the scoreboard on their asses. That's one

752
00:31:42,840 --> 00:31:44,600
Speaker 5: time I would try to run it up. I mean

753
00:31:44,760 --> 00:31:45,320
Speaker 5: I would.

754
00:31:45,160 --> 00:31:47,240
Speaker 1: Absolutely try to run I gotta get your thoughts on

755
00:31:47,280 --> 00:31:50,000
Speaker 1: this because with the Big twelve stuff going on, and

756
00:31:50,040 --> 00:31:52,600
Speaker 1: I know heavolved.

757
00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:53,360
Speaker 5: Just talking to the general about that.

758
00:31:53,520 --> 00:31:56,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's it's awesome, it is. But with the PAC

759
00:31:56,640 --> 00:31:59,600
Speaker 1: twelve situation, we were talking about that twelve and a

760
00:31:59,640 --> 00:32:02,120
Speaker 1: better situation than the PAC twelve, and it just feels

761
00:32:02,160 --> 00:32:02,720
Speaker 1: like bizarre.

762
00:32:02,760 --> 00:32:05,640
Speaker 9: And I was about a year or so ago I

763
00:32:05,840 --> 00:32:08,480
Speaker 9: thought that the PAC twelve would be a better situation

764
00:32:08,880 --> 00:32:11,040
Speaker 9: than the Big twelve. It just goes to show you

765
00:32:11,360 --> 00:32:16,440
Speaker 9: what quality leadership will do. Because they've got it in

766
00:32:16,520 --> 00:32:19,560
Speaker 9: the Big twelve and they don't have it in the pack, right,

767
00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:23,520
Speaker 9: and it's gonna self destructive. You're already gonna get Colorado

768
00:32:23,840 --> 00:32:25,880
Speaker 9: from the Pac twelve to the Big twelve. Here comes

769
00:32:25,880 --> 00:32:28,600
Speaker 9: Arizona State, Arizona and Utah.

770
00:32:28,720 --> 00:32:32,000
Speaker 3: Man, you do that conference is said.

771
00:32:31,760 --> 00:32:34,200
Speaker 9: There's no doubt about it. They stand up against anybody.

772
00:32:34,240 --> 00:32:37,280
Speaker 9: And here, you know, let Texas A and who Texas

773
00:32:37,320 --> 00:32:39,440
Speaker 9: go to the SEC along with Oklahoma.

774
00:32:39,640 --> 00:32:40,040
Speaker 5: Let them go.

775
00:32:40,240 --> 00:32:42,720
Speaker 9: It's still gonna they're gonna they're gonna go get some

776
00:32:42,760 --> 00:32:45,800
Speaker 9: whippings over there, right, they canna get their fair share.

777
00:32:46,280 --> 00:32:48,920
Speaker 9: So there's gonna come a time where why do we

778
00:32:48,960 --> 00:32:49,280
Speaker 9: do this?

779
00:32:49,560 --> 00:32:52,760
Speaker 1: It puts you, eh in a terrific position, unbelievable position.

780
00:32:52,840 --> 00:32:55,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, finally, and it's gonna have You're gonna have sixteen

781
00:32:55,200 --> 00:32:56,120
Speaker 2: teams in the Big twelve.

782
00:32:56,400 --> 00:32:57,640
Speaker 3: You're gonna have sixteen eventtions.

783
00:32:57,640 --> 00:33:00,160
Speaker 5: It instantly creates a rival where were Utah and and

784
00:33:00,280 --> 00:33:03,040
Speaker 5: b y U. I mean, it's all that makes all

785
00:33:03,080 --> 00:33:04,320
Speaker 5: That was.

786
00:33:04,320 --> 00:33:05,800
Speaker 2: One of the ones I wanted to see because that

787
00:33:05,920 --> 00:33:07,600
Speaker 2: rivalry is bad.

788
00:33:07,680 --> 00:33:11,800
Speaker 1: They'll do it, I guess, but they're not overjoyed about

789
00:33:11,800 --> 00:33:13,480
Speaker 1: being in the same league. But they will do it

790
00:33:13,600 --> 00:33:16,960
Speaker 1: right because push comes to shop. Because Oregon in Washington

791
00:33:16,960 --> 00:33:17,959
Speaker 1: are they gonna go to the Big ten?

792
00:33:18,080 --> 00:33:21,800
Speaker 5: You think that's the that's the along with Washington State.

793
00:33:21,840 --> 00:33:24,040
Speaker 5: And there was one more that uh that I read

794
00:33:24,080 --> 00:33:24,720
Speaker 5: and there maybe.

795
00:33:24,560 --> 00:33:28,520
Speaker 2: Oregon Hanford that was Itford Stanford makes sense?

796
00:33:28,880 --> 00:33:29,840
Speaker 3: Want that academic quote?

797
00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:33,320
Speaker 9: Nobody cares about that part part of it. No, they

798
00:33:33,320 --> 00:33:34,600
Speaker 9: don't know, they don't.

799
00:33:35,360 --> 00:33:38,000
Speaker 5: It wouldn't surprise me if if one day the SEC

800
00:33:38,200 --> 00:33:40,080
Speaker 5: was like Vanderbilt, you know, you've been good for us

801
00:33:40,080 --> 00:33:42,640
Speaker 5: for a while, but we are making changes and they

802
00:33:42,720 --> 00:33:43,600
Speaker 5: just create a spot.

803
00:33:43,760 --> 00:33:47,440
Speaker 9: Or Northwestern you know, you've been good for us for

804
00:33:47,480 --> 00:33:51,960
Speaker 9: a while, but we we it's all football dictates everything.

805
00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:53,320
Speaker 9: That is no longer academic.

806
00:33:54,360 --> 00:33:57,360
Speaker 5: Mac Okay, yes, there are no student athletes anymore, Johnny,

807
00:33:57,360 --> 00:33:59,000
Speaker 5: What are you talking about? They're all paid?

808
00:33:59,160 --> 00:33:59,760
Speaker 3: Were they were they?

809
00:33:59,760 --> 00:34:02,000
Speaker 5: Ever? I was?

810
00:34:02,040 --> 00:34:03,760
Speaker 2: I was more student than ever athlete, but I went

811
00:34:03,800 --> 00:34:06,440
Speaker 2: to a different place. But Florid State's making noise now too.

812
00:34:07,080 --> 00:34:07,440
Speaker 5: Yeah.

813
00:34:07,480 --> 00:34:09,800
Speaker 3: That's an interesting one, Drake, because I don't because.

814
00:34:09,640 --> 00:34:11,840
Speaker 5: They could have been in the SEC yesterday.

815
00:34:11,880 --> 00:34:13,759
Speaker 3: Yeah right, but now you've got Texas Oklahoma. I can

816
00:34:13,760 --> 00:34:14,560
Speaker 3: imagine this CE is.

817
00:34:14,560 --> 00:34:18,120
Speaker 9: Like, oh yeah, I right, Well, how many times can

818
00:34:18,160 --> 00:34:20,280
Speaker 9: you turn your back on it? We've invited you to dinner,

819
00:34:20,600 --> 00:34:22,680
Speaker 9: to sit at the table a couple of times now,

820
00:34:22,719 --> 00:34:26,239
Speaker 9: and you've not shown up each time we've asked, so

821
00:34:26,520 --> 00:34:27,040
Speaker 9: why now?

822
00:34:27,719 --> 00:34:29,719
Speaker 5: We heard the food was good. Yeah, it's been good.

823
00:34:29,800 --> 00:34:30,040
Speaker 7: Yeah.

824
00:34:30,320 --> 00:34:33,640
Speaker 1: The ACC really having some problems and it's gonna be

825
00:34:33,680 --> 00:34:36,840
Speaker 1: bizarre because UCF could be in a better situation than

826
00:34:36,880 --> 00:34:38,160
Speaker 1: Florida or how.

827
00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:41,640
Speaker 5: Big do they how big do they grow? The Super Conferences?

828
00:34:41,680 --> 00:34:44,279
Speaker 9: Sixteen I thought would be Okay, that's the ideal number.

829
00:34:44,280 --> 00:34:45,080
Speaker 9: It'll stop there.

830
00:34:45,200 --> 00:34:47,080
Speaker 5: It's gonna go more. It's gonna go about twenty.

831
00:34:47,160 --> 00:34:49,799
Speaker 1: It's the opposite of the way the Earth created the

832
00:34:49,840 --> 00:34:53,520
Speaker 1: continents with everything splitting up, right, everything's gonna come together

833
00:34:53,640 --> 00:34:56,560
Speaker 1: one big blob, right, it'll be two or whatever.

834
00:34:56,600 --> 00:34:56,960
Speaker 7: Conference.

835
00:34:57,000 --> 00:35:00,640
Speaker 2: Well, the PAC twelve doesn't know what it's doing. I've

836
00:35:00,640 --> 00:35:02,400
Speaker 2: heard rumors that they could team with the ACC.

837
00:35:02,719 --> 00:35:04,520
Speaker 5: I've heard that they come in the middle of the

838
00:35:04,880 --> 00:35:06,319
Speaker 5: Sports Championship.

839
00:35:05,840 --> 00:35:08,080
Speaker 3: Game playing Kansas City. I mean, it's it's nuts.

840
00:35:08,160 --> 00:35:12,040
Speaker 2: But geography, to Drey's point, football drives things now more

841
00:35:12,040 --> 00:35:16,120
Speaker 2: than ever has, and geography has nothing to do with anything.

842
00:35:16,760 --> 00:35:18,479
Speaker 3: Nothing and of course the conference names.

843
00:35:19,080 --> 00:35:21,759
Speaker 9: We were playing in Connecticut as a conference game. Yeah,

844
00:35:21,840 --> 00:35:23,000
Speaker 9: think about that for a minute.

845
00:35:23,000 --> 00:35:26,360
Speaker 1: You can't send your field hockey team from Miami to Washington.

846
00:35:26,640 --> 00:35:27,560
Speaker 4: But you can't do that.

847
00:35:27,640 --> 00:35:29,319
Speaker 2: But the Pac twelve is looking at ways where they

848
00:35:29,400 --> 00:35:32,879
Speaker 2: can send one team, one school's volleyball team, in one

849
00:35:32,920 --> 00:35:37,200
Speaker 2: school's tennis team on the same charter flight to go play.

850
00:35:36,520 --> 00:35:42,840
Speaker 5: At one school. Just try sports out and that the

851
00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:43,480
Speaker 5: entire year.

852
00:35:43,840 --> 00:35:44,400
Speaker 7: Thanks a lot for.

853
00:35:44,440 --> 00:35:46,080
Speaker 5: Joining us always, man.

854
00:35:45,920 --> 00:35:49,160
Speaker 1: All right, there's our buddy Andre Ware. Another friend, John McClain,

855
00:35:49,200 --> 00:35:52,239
Speaker 1: you've heard of him. He's stopped by, and let's check

856
00:35:52,280 --> 00:35:55,400
Speaker 1: it with the general on tonight's game with Cleveland and

857
00:35:55,440 --> 00:35:59,279
Speaker 1: the Jets, among other things on Texans Radio. In our

858
00:35:59,320 --> 00:36:02,320
Speaker 1: final segment tonight on Texans All Access, getting you ready

859
00:36:02,320 --> 00:36:04,840
Speaker 1: for the Hall of Fame game between the Cleveland Browns

860
00:36:04,840 --> 00:36:07,200
Speaker 1: and the New York Jets, and the Browns conversation with

861
00:36:07,280 --> 00:36:10,640
Speaker 1: the General John McClean led to an AFC North conversation

862
00:36:11,080 --> 00:36:13,560
Speaker 1: and that led to the opener for the Texans against

863
00:36:13,600 --> 00:36:16,960
Speaker 1: the Baltimore Ravens. How good is Baltimore going to be

864
00:36:17,080 --> 00:36:19,800
Speaker 1: this year? With a healthy Lamar Jackson at QB again?

865
00:36:20,120 --> 00:36:24,360
Speaker 6: Lamar Jackson's regular season record is fantastic, so it wouldn't

866
00:36:24,360 --> 00:36:27,719
Speaker 6: surprise me if they don't. If they win the division

867
00:36:28,239 --> 00:36:31,439
Speaker 6: and Cincinnati two, I wouldn't pick it. I just think

868
00:36:31,480 --> 00:36:34,080
Speaker 6: Cleveland is going to be a distant third. I'd love

869
00:36:34,120 --> 00:36:37,960
Speaker 6: to see Cleveland finish last Stealers surprise people. There's a

870
00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:41,400
Speaker 6: lot of pressure from Kevin Stefanski up there to produce.

871
00:36:41,680 --> 00:36:43,480
Speaker 6: There's no excuses with a quarterback.

872
00:36:43,600 --> 00:36:43,839
Speaker 5: Now.

873
00:36:44,160 --> 00:36:46,759
Speaker 6: I had two friends that cover the team say all

874
00:36:46,800 --> 00:36:50,920
Speaker 6: these glowing reports here about Watson coming out of camp. No,

875
00:36:51,239 --> 00:36:55,399
Speaker 6: he's making a lot of mistakes, and so I can't

876
00:36:55,440 --> 00:36:57,600
Speaker 6: wait to see how he does, because you want the

877
00:36:57,640 --> 00:37:01,040
Speaker 6: Browns to finish as bad as possible. Yes, so Texan's

878
00:37:01,080 --> 00:37:04,360
Speaker 6: got that first round pick, but I think it's going

879
00:37:04,440 --> 00:37:07,000
Speaker 6: to be a great division top to bottom, just like

880
00:37:07,040 --> 00:37:10,080
Speaker 6: the NFC East. If sam Al can play, that's going

881
00:37:10,120 --> 00:37:12,640
Speaker 6: to be a great division from top to bottom. If

882
00:37:12,680 --> 00:37:15,880
Speaker 6: he can't, but I'm guessing he can because Ron Rivera

883
00:37:16,040 --> 00:37:19,560
Speaker 6: just wasted no time in casting his lot with him,

884
00:37:19,560 --> 00:37:21,800
Speaker 6: and if he can, it's going to be a battle

885
00:37:21,840 --> 00:37:23,839
Speaker 6: for the top two. In the last two.

886
00:37:24,040 --> 00:37:26,560
Speaker 1: Only one team in the AFC West is on the

887
00:37:26,560 --> 00:37:30,239
Speaker 1: Texans schedule, and that's the Broncos who come here this year.

888
00:37:30,680 --> 00:37:33,640
Speaker 1: What are you hearing out there right now? And obviously

889
00:37:33,680 --> 00:37:35,760
Speaker 1: the Chiefs are no doubt the pick to finish first.

890
00:37:35,920 --> 00:37:41,120
Speaker 6: Everybody's on the Sean Payton bandwagon. Media defending him, saying

891
00:37:41,160 --> 00:37:45,120
Speaker 6: it was method to his madness with those idiotic quotes

892
00:37:45,160 --> 00:37:48,040
Speaker 6: that made him look like a full solo class even

893
00:37:48,080 --> 00:37:50,840
Speaker 6: though they were true. And I can't wait behind the

894
00:37:50,880 --> 00:37:55,960
Speaker 6: scenes if it gets out about because he threw his

895
00:37:56,120 --> 00:37:59,680
Speaker 6: GM George Peyton and his president I forgot his name.

896
00:38:00,080 --> 00:38:02,839
Speaker 6: He is part of the ownership group, threw them under

897
00:38:02,880 --> 00:38:06,040
Speaker 6: the bus too. Now he's making a whole lot of money,

898
00:38:06,280 --> 00:38:10,279
Speaker 6: so it doesn't matter. His contracts guaranteed. But what he's

899
00:38:10,320 --> 00:38:13,040
Speaker 6: done by his outlay and his quotes is put more

900
00:38:13,080 --> 00:38:16,479
Speaker 6: pressure on himself not take it off Russell Wilson. There's

901
00:38:16,600 --> 00:38:18,840
Speaker 6: nothing he can do to take it off Russell Wilson.

902
00:38:19,200 --> 00:38:21,680
Speaker 6: He's got to prove that he can be a great coach.

903
00:38:21,760 --> 00:38:24,880
Speaker 6: Not having an Hall of Fame quarterback, and Russell Wilson

904
00:38:24,920 --> 00:38:26,400
Speaker 6: I'll probably get in the Hall of Fame, not on

905
00:38:26,440 --> 00:38:29,840
Speaker 6: the first ballot, I can't imagine. But if Wilson is

906
00:38:29,880 --> 00:38:34,360
Speaker 6: actually done. It's gonna tarnish Sean Payton's reputation.

907
00:38:35,040 --> 00:38:38,279
Speaker 2: John, he might already have been done last year. Mark,

908
00:38:38,320 --> 00:38:41,200
Speaker 2: you mentioned Joe Burrow. We need Joe Burrow back because

909
00:38:41,520 --> 00:38:43,560
Speaker 2: they play at Cleveland week one.

910
00:38:43,960 --> 00:38:47,200
Speaker 3: Oh boy, we need Burrow back for that. Along those lines,

911
00:38:47,239 --> 00:38:47,560
Speaker 3: as you're.

912
00:38:47,480 --> 00:38:49,840
Speaker 2: Talking about those divisions, General got me thinking, what do

913
00:38:49,840 --> 00:38:51,360
Speaker 2: you think is the best division in football?

914
00:38:52,640 --> 00:38:56,160
Speaker 6: NFC East? Because the top to bottom, you know, you're

915
00:38:56,200 --> 00:39:00,600
Speaker 6: not sure about the Steelers, but top to bottom, Washington

916
00:39:01,400 --> 00:39:05,360
Speaker 6: was almost almost at a winning record last year. Everything

917
00:39:05,400 --> 00:39:07,840
Speaker 6: they got a running game that got great, defensive line,

918
00:39:08,280 --> 00:39:11,520
Speaker 6: improved the offensive line. What they need is Sam Alt.

919
00:39:12,000 --> 00:39:16,600
Speaker 6: Now maybe Ron RIVERI probably won't be around there next

920
00:39:16,680 --> 00:39:21,360
Speaker 6: year because you got new owners, and maybe they're like, okay,

921
00:39:21,400 --> 00:39:23,439
Speaker 6: we'll play him, he's not very good, and then we'll

922
00:39:23,880 --> 00:39:27,040
Speaker 6: get in position to get one of these top quarterbacks

923
00:39:27,080 --> 00:39:31,560
Speaker 6: next year. Be close enough as Carolina was to move.

924
00:39:31,400 --> 00:39:33,640
Speaker 1: Up to move up, they might need to move up

925
00:39:33,680 --> 00:39:37,400
Speaker 1: because that d line man, that's good. You said you

926
00:39:37,400 --> 00:39:39,480
Speaker 1: don't know about the Steelers, meaning if the Steelers were better,

927
00:39:39,480 --> 00:39:40,839
Speaker 1: you'd say maybe the AFC North.

928
00:39:40,920 --> 00:39:44,200
Speaker 6: Right, Yeah, it depends on whether it's the Steelers or

929
00:39:44,239 --> 00:39:47,799
Speaker 6: the Commanders, the last place team in each division. Which

930
00:39:47,840 --> 00:39:48,560
Speaker 6: one is better?

931
00:39:48,680 --> 00:39:52,960
Speaker 1: Okay, what about let's talk about Cleveland a little bit,

932
00:39:53,000 --> 00:39:54,560
Speaker 1: and I want to talk about the Cowboys a little

933
00:39:54,560 --> 00:39:57,120
Speaker 1: bit as well. Cleveland's the only team of those two

934
00:39:57,120 --> 00:39:59,319
Speaker 1: on the Texans schedule. The Texans have to play the

935
00:39:59,360 --> 00:40:02,680
Speaker 1: Cowboys every year in the preseason. It's ridiculous that they don't. Anyway,

936
00:40:02,920 --> 00:40:03,520
Speaker 1: it used to.

937
00:40:03,440 --> 00:40:07,480
Speaker 6: Be the last preseason game when teams had a different strategy.

938
00:40:07,600 --> 00:40:12,440
Speaker 6: You went starters for first quarters, second quarter, and he

939
00:40:12,520 --> 00:40:14,839
Speaker 6: got to that last game. They played them starters three

940
00:40:14,920 --> 00:40:18,640
Speaker 6: quarters to get them ready. So those Cowboy aller games

941
00:40:18,680 --> 00:40:22,200
Speaker 6: were fierce. And yes, they should play every year. I

942
00:40:22,200 --> 00:40:23,960
Speaker 6: think they used to play New Orleans every year.

943
00:40:24,040 --> 00:40:25,880
Speaker 1: I agree, and they're playing New Orleans this year. Obviously,

944
00:40:26,000 --> 00:40:28,680
Speaker 1: enjoy practices with the Cowboys. By the way, that's not

945
00:40:28,800 --> 00:40:31,440
Speaker 1: cal McNair's doing. He would love to play the Cowboys.

946
00:40:31,480 --> 00:40:32,960
Speaker 1: And I can't speak for him, but I would imagine

947
00:40:32,960 --> 00:40:34,480
Speaker 1: he would love to play the Cowboys in the preseason

948
00:40:34,600 --> 00:40:35,040
Speaker 1: if you like.

949
00:40:35,000 --> 00:40:37,400
Speaker 6: To have some joint practices out there where the weather's

950
00:40:37,440 --> 00:40:41,280
Speaker 6: cool every morning, sign every afternoon. You mentioned the Browns.

951
00:40:41,280 --> 00:40:44,760
Speaker 6: They got everything, great running game, great offensive line, best

952
00:40:44,760 --> 00:40:48,680
Speaker 6: offensive line coach in the NFL. They're loaded in the secondary,

953
00:40:48,960 --> 00:40:52,720
Speaker 6: their pass rush, they need one player to come through,

954
00:40:53,080 --> 00:40:55,160
Speaker 6: but then they could still not be as good as

955
00:40:55,160 --> 00:40:57,080
Speaker 6: Baltimore and Cincinnati.

956
00:40:57,440 --> 00:40:59,120
Speaker 3: See. I think it's the AFC North.

957
00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:02,200
Speaker 2: I wouldn't say the NFC East is just because I

958
00:41:02,200 --> 00:41:04,960
Speaker 2: don't think that's a gauntlet of quarterbacks you face face

959
00:41:05,040 --> 00:41:08,680
Speaker 2: Hurts and Dak Jones doesn't scare me, and neither does

960
00:41:08,719 --> 00:41:11,680
Speaker 2: Sam Howell right now, No, so you don't go through that.

961
00:41:11,719 --> 00:41:15,200
Speaker 2: But in the in the AFC North, I mean, the

962
00:41:15,239 --> 00:41:20,200
Speaker 2: worst quarterback there is Kenny Pickett, and you know that's

963
00:41:20,200 --> 00:41:22,480
Speaker 2: saying something. Of course, that's the division we face. Now

964
00:41:22,640 --> 00:41:25,160
Speaker 2: we'll see what DeShawn does. You know, we'll see what

965
00:41:25,160 --> 00:41:28,160
Speaker 2: happens there. But kind of the same same way the Broncos.

966
00:41:28,360 --> 00:41:29,720
Speaker 2: If Russell Wilson.

967
00:41:29,360 --> 00:41:31,680
Speaker 6: Is dead, they're dead.

968
00:41:31,760 --> 00:41:32,440
Speaker 3: They're dead.

969
00:41:32,800 --> 00:41:36,440
Speaker 2: If Deshaun Watson's dead, that's even worse. I don't know

970
00:41:36,440 --> 00:41:39,279
Speaker 2: what's worse than being dead. But if he's that, that

971
00:41:39,400 --> 00:41:40,760
Speaker 2: kills them for years.

972
00:41:41,000 --> 00:41:42,160
Speaker 4: What they're doing better without him?

973
00:41:42,160 --> 00:41:42,440
Speaker 5: Anyway?

974
00:41:42,520 --> 00:41:45,000
Speaker 2: Last year, seemingly Jacoby Brissett, who is now with the

975
00:41:45,040 --> 00:41:46,239
Speaker 2: Washington Commandment, I think we.

976
00:41:46,280 --> 00:41:49,279
Speaker 6: All agree to Shaun's gonna bounce back. It's just no

977
00:41:49,320 --> 00:41:51,160
Speaker 6: matter what level he bounces back.

978
00:41:51,280 --> 00:41:52,560
Speaker 3: I'm in show me mode on that.

979
00:41:52,760 --> 00:41:56,080
Speaker 6: When he's playing in December and it's snowing and raining

980
00:41:56,120 --> 00:41:59,920
Speaker 6: and the wind is blowing in all those AFC Northern Stadium,

981
00:42:00,480 --> 00:42:02,360
Speaker 6: you know, he didn't have to do that here. I

982
00:42:02,400 --> 00:42:05,640
Speaker 6: don't think he'll ever equal his statistics he had here.

983
00:42:05,920 --> 00:42:10,600
Speaker 6: Brown's haven't had a four thousand yard passer since Brian's SIPE.

984
00:42:10,640 --> 00:42:12,719
Speaker 1: General A long those that's that Wait a minute, I

985
00:42:12,800 --> 00:42:17,239
Speaker 1: have to digest that and Brian's SIPE one time league MVP, yeah, nineteen.

986
00:42:17,040 --> 00:42:21,759
Speaker 2: Eight, long time ago cardiac kids general. Just I don't know, hypothetical,

987
00:42:22,080 --> 00:42:25,239
Speaker 2: what if DeShawn have gone to Atlanta. I there's a

988
00:42:25,239 --> 00:42:27,759
Speaker 2: part of me that feels like Atlanta obviously because it's

989
00:42:27,760 --> 00:42:28,120
Speaker 2: his home.

990
00:42:28,160 --> 00:42:29,799
Speaker 3: I just feel like Atlanta would have been a much

991
00:42:29,840 --> 00:42:30,399
Speaker 3: better fit.

992
00:42:30,760 --> 00:42:33,360
Speaker 2: But obviously he wanted that guaranteed contract to play thirty.

993
00:42:33,560 --> 00:42:37,160
Speaker 2: He plays inside in Atlanta. He's not gonna play in

994
00:42:37,160 --> 00:42:38,640
Speaker 2: that bad weather. He's never gonna be able to put

995
00:42:38,680 --> 00:42:39,320
Speaker 2: up the numbers.

996
00:42:39,120 --> 00:42:40,560
Speaker 6: Because he would have been he would have been a

997
00:42:40,600 --> 00:42:41,040
Speaker 6: lot better.

998
00:42:41,200 --> 00:42:44,680
Speaker 2: I mean, the Falcons could be absolutely dangerous if you

999
00:42:44,719 --> 00:42:45,440
Speaker 2: were the quarterback.

1000
00:42:45,640 --> 00:42:48,120
Speaker 6: Well, the Browns can too. I mean he got Nick Chubb,

1001
00:42:48,200 --> 00:42:52,120
Speaker 6: they got talent. They've been stockpiling talent for quite a while.

1002
00:42:52,440 --> 00:42:56,080
Speaker 6: Atlanta's gonna need another off season to add some talent.

1003
00:42:56,400 --> 00:42:58,239
Speaker 6: But had he gone there and for the reasons you

1004
00:42:58,400 --> 00:43:01,120
Speaker 6: just said, and played all those games in great weather

1005
00:43:01,320 --> 00:43:03,920
Speaker 6: like he did here, he'd have a chance to be

1006
00:43:03,960 --> 00:43:04,520
Speaker 6: even better.

1007
00:43:04,640 --> 00:43:06,560
Speaker 1: All right there, It is our visit with John McClean

1008
00:43:06,560 --> 00:43:08,279
