18
00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:50,600
Speaker 5: Well, thanks for having us this evening.

19
00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:52,520
Speaker 4: All right, we have a lot to talk about today,

20
00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:54,720
Speaker 4: but I know I hate to begin it on a

21
00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:57,720
Speaker 4: sad note, but we need to address Ryan Mallett, former

22
00:00:57,760 --> 00:01:00,760
Speaker 4: Texans quarterback, passed away yesterday and I know you must

23
00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:03,000
Speaker 4: have some thoughts on that. Just a tragic situation.

24
00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:07,480
Speaker 5: Tragic we know just what we've seen on the news,

25
00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:11,319
Speaker 5: so it's really sad. We enjoyed having him here. He

26
00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:16,160
Speaker 5: had a big arm, great personality. I read that he

27
00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:19,679
Speaker 5: was coaching at high school, so we were really sad

28
00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:22,400
Speaker 5: and shocked to see that. So really sad thing it

29
00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:22,840
Speaker 5: is for us.

30
00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:25,959
Speaker 6: He was so sweet with the kids.

31
00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:28,680
Speaker 7: He used to teach Robert how to hold a football

32
00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:31,520
Speaker 7: and throw it, and Robert was very young, but he

33
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:34,600
Speaker 7: just took the time, bent down, helped him. Just very sweet,

34
00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:35,680
Speaker 7: kind personality.

35
00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:38,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, and I'm sure more details will emerge as the

36
00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:41,319
Speaker 4: days go by here, but Ori ip Ryan Mallett, and

37
00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:45,040
Speaker 4: our prayers, our sympathy is with the Mallet family. We

38
00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:47,440
Speaker 4: have a lot to get to because here we are

39
00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:50,920
Speaker 4: on that break between mini camp and training camp. But

40
00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:54,320
Speaker 4: it never really slows down, does it never really slows down?

41
00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:56,560
Speaker 4: We have so much to go over. But let's talk

42
00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:58,840
Speaker 4: about training camp for a moment, because the dates came

43
00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:02,520
Speaker 4: out night. A lot of thrilling things happening when the

44
00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:04,640
Speaker 4: team gets back to work in late July.

45
00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:08,120
Speaker 5: Yeah, we're excited for training camp. Just coming out of

46
00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:11,080
Speaker 5: OTAs we thought the team got better every day, and

47
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:13,519
Speaker 5: so with this forty days off where the guys sort

48
00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:16,880
Speaker 5: of regroup both mentally and physically and get ready for

49
00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:20,480
Speaker 5: our for a long season starting with training camp is

50
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:23,680

Speaker 5: to it and can't wait to get back and see

Speaker 5: how the team is going to improve day by day

53
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:32,480
Speaker 5: through training camp, and that's a lot of fun for us.

54
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:35,280
Speaker 5: But also what we really enjoy doing is getting back

55
00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:38,079
Speaker 5: and interacting with the fans, and we're looking forward to that.

56
00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:42,560
Speaker 5: Welcome them to I think at least eight open practices

57
00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:44,720
Speaker 5: or trying to find another one, but I think we

58
00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:48,320
Speaker 5: have eight scheduled and then the night time one and

59
00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:50,839

Speaker 2: Yeah, they put you right to work last year any camp,

64
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:02,560

00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:03,560
Speaker 2: seem like work to you.

Speaker 5: It's a perfect example of a win win situation because

76
00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:27,680
Speaker 5: I enjoy it. Hopefully the fans enjoyed the food. But

77
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:29,800

Speaker 1: He doesn't.

100
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:16,880
Speaker 2: I want to go back to draft night. What was

101
00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:20,200
Speaker 2: Draft night? The whole draft in general, but just Draft

102
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:23,240
Speaker 2: night night one? What was that like for the two

103
00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:26,440
Speaker 2: of y'all watching everything go down and how it all

104
00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:30,960
Speaker 2: went down? Because the Texans were the talk of the night.

105
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:34,240
Speaker 2: I mean, everybody was talking about what had transpired to

106
00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:36,599
Speaker 2: move up to go get Will, but just everything happening,

107
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:38,680
Speaker 2: especially in that short condensed space.

108
00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:41,040
Speaker 1: What was Draft night like for both of you all?

109
00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:46,680
Speaker 5: Almost sounds like a movie Draft night, But Hannah and

110
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:49,839
Speaker 5: I had we had a lot of fun on Draft Day.

111
00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:52,840
Speaker 5: We of course had the party out at Miller, so

112
00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:55,760
Speaker 5: we went there first. So we went to Miller first

113
00:04:55,839 --> 00:05:01,840
Speaker 5: outdoor theater and said, seventeen thousand, seven seven thousand, the

114
00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:03,159
Speaker 5: number keeps growing.

115
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:06,960
Speaker 6: Seventeen Woodstock. Yeah, it was amazing.

116
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:09,200
Speaker 2: It sounded like seventeen thousand our years and we had

117
00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:09,800
Speaker 2: headphones on.

118
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:12,720
Speaker 7: I'll tell you the nerves of the whole day. I mean,

119
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:14,160
Speaker 7: you're just a whole day.

120
00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:16,720
Speaker 6: You're just game. It's like game day, right, You're getting ready,

121
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:17,560
Speaker 6: You're getting ready.

122
00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:20,320
Speaker 7: And then going to the draft party before we went

123
00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:22,599
Speaker 7: to the war room, I mean, that just made the

124
00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:23,560
Speaker 7: build up even more.

125
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:25,479
Speaker 6: It was so incredible.

126
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:28,200
Speaker 5: The fans were so excited, and they had a little

127
00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:31,480
Speaker 5: input on who they thought should be drafted, and so

128
00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:34,880
Speaker 5: that was wonderful. Yeah, that was wonderful to get from them.

129
00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:38,240
Speaker 5: And then then we got back here here being the

130
00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:41,400
Speaker 5: stadium and the war room with Nick and James Lifford

131
00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:44,080
Speaker 5: and coach and a number of the scouts were there

132
00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:46,800
Speaker 5: and your mom, So mom was there. Yeah, And so

133
00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:49,400
Speaker 5: we were all in the room and visiting with Nick beforehand,

134
00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:53,680
Speaker 5: and you just calm, calm and steady and talk through

135
00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:57,240
Speaker 5: all a lot of different scenarios. And then then the

136
00:05:57,360 --> 00:06:01,280
Speaker 5: draft started and everyone pretty much knew who the first

137
00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:04,200
Speaker 5: pick was going to be, and so that happened, and

138
00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:06,719
Speaker 5: then the second pick came and and we knew what

139
00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:09,240
Speaker 5: we were doing there pretty much and then but you

140
00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:12,279
Speaker 5: don't know for sure until the first pick is picked.

141
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:15,120
Speaker 5: And then we were really happy with what we were

142
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:18,280
Speaker 5: able to do with the second picking. Then the third

143
00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:22,840
Speaker 5: pick came up, and Nick started making calls and trying

144
00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:26,440
Speaker 5: to work his magic. And there were some calls and

145
00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:29,040
Speaker 5: some hang ups and some yeses and some nose and

146
00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:31,800
Speaker 5: we'll call you back and we'll think about it. And

147
00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:34,960
Speaker 5: he worked his worked his way through to about a

148
00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:42,920
Speaker 5: minute and a half left and then finalized call New York. Yeah.

149
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:44,920
Speaker 5: So it was a lot of fun and a lot

150
00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:48,080
Speaker 5: of excitement and great energy and drama and all that

151
00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:50,160
Speaker 5: just in a very short It.

152
00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:53,839
Speaker 6: Was as exciting as you could imagine. It was intense.

153
00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:55,960
Speaker 4: It had to be like fourth quarter of a playoff game.

154
00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:59,279
Speaker 7: Yeah, really, Oh no, it was overtime. It was overtime

155
00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:02,760
Speaker 7: Buffalo Bill game. You're trying to kick that field goal.

156
00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:04,599
Speaker 7: I mean you're getting in field goal range.

157
00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:06,839
Speaker 6: That's what it felt like, was can we get there?

158
00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:08,000
Speaker 4: And you're watching the clock.

159
00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:09,200
Speaker 6: Oh my gosh.

160
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:12,240
Speaker 2: The clock makes it that much worse because you're going, uh,

161
00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:15,000
Speaker 2: because you guys at that point, no, okay, something's happening.

162
00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:16,640
Speaker 1: They want to make a deal.

163
00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:18,160
Speaker 2: So you're like gon clock, going, oh my gosh, can

164
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:20,960
Speaker 2: they get it done by that particular time? And you

165
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:23,480
Speaker 2: all's time frame is obviously much different than ours because

166
00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:27,280
Speaker 2: we're following the TV. We're getting it kind of you know, off,

167
00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:29,560
Speaker 2: and we're hearing it from sources. You guys are seeing

168
00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:31,480
Speaker 2: it in real time and watching it go by. We

169
00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:34,080
Speaker 2: really have any idea until Robert told us, wait a second,

170
00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:36,200
Speaker 2: they're making a deal. So I gonna imagine the nerves

171
00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:37,960
Speaker 2: as you're watching that clock go down it gets under

172
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:39,880
Speaker 2: two minutes, like, are we gonna do this?

173
00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:40,240
Speaker 5: Is?

174
00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:42,040
Speaker 2: This? Is this gonna happen? Did you ever, at well

175
00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:44,480
Speaker 2: any point, think oh, I don't know what it's gonna happen.

176
00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:45,200
Speaker 2: Did you ever think that?

177
00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:48,960
Speaker 6: Yes? Yes, yes, yeah, no.

178
00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:51,120
Speaker 7: It was pretty quiet. I think you could have heard

179
00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:53,560
Speaker 7: a pin drop and then that phone ring.

180
00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:55,960
Speaker 4: When did you make the decision, let's go back to

181
00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:58,720
Speaker 4: Miller outdoor theater, Let's go have fun with the fans,

182
00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:02,239
Speaker 4: because you're there in the on the raft room looking

183
00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:04,240
Speaker 4: at that drama, and then you want to go back

184
00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:04,920
Speaker 4: and celebrate.

185
00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:07,720
Speaker 5: I needed to hear from Nick that we were done

186
00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:11,280
Speaker 5: for the evening, so once.

187
00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:15,240
Speaker 6: He told me that we had family there, friend, yeah.

188
00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:17,800
Speaker 5: I had family at the party, and Hannah was really

189
00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:20,320
Speaker 5: wanting to go over there. And interact with the fans

190
00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:22,520
Speaker 5: some more. And I was kind of exhausted, to tell

191
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:25,600
Speaker 5: you the truth there, but we we went back and

192
00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:26,640
Speaker 5: really enjoyed it.

193
00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:30,360
Speaker 7: I was on adrenaline. Mine was probably more amped up

194
00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:33,640
Speaker 7: than cows. But we wanted to go back. I mean,

195
00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:36,040
Speaker 7: my friends were sending me videos, my family was sending

196
00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:41,120
Speaker 7: me videos. We were seeing videos, and there's nothing more.

197
00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:42,840
Speaker 7: I mean, you just want to be with people to

198
00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:45,960
Speaker 7: celebrate a moment, right Like you've got to celebrate those

199
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:50,120
Speaker 7: moments of excitement. And that just felt the whole city

200
00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:51,920
Speaker 7: just felt lifted right right.

201
00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:55,240
Speaker 2: I'll tell my quick story on that. So each year

202
00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:58,000
Speaker 2: I get asked to go up on stage. So in

203
00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:00,959
Speaker 2: twenty two, I was asked to go on stage earlier

204
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:03,559
Speaker 2: before the draft, so I went up with Cecil at

205
00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:04,320
Speaker 2: that point, and so.

206
00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:05,320
Speaker 1: This year we changed it.

207
00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:08,199
Speaker 2: I went on after the draft picks, but I had

208
00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:11,480
Speaker 2: to follow. I had to follow y'all, and I was

209
00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:13,720
Speaker 2: on such a high that when y'all got finished, and

210
00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:15,560
Speaker 2: I don't remember this, you came off the stage and

211
00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:19,040
Speaker 2: I wanted to hug you like you were long lost relatives.

212
00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:21,520
Speaker 2: I was. I was so happy, like I couldn't even

213
00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:23,120
Speaker 2: put words I mean, I know that's what we're supposed

214
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:25,960
Speaker 2: to do. I was supposed to put words like like

215
00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:28,360
Speaker 2: I say. It was I can't believe this. I was

216
00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:30,480
Speaker 2: so excited to see you guys coming off the stage,

217
00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:32,040
Speaker 2: and then I was like, wait a second.

218
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:33,240
Speaker 1: Weren't they over at the built?

219
00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:34,960
Speaker 2: And then I had to put it all together that

220
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:37,079
Speaker 2: you went to the draft party, then you went back,

221
00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:39,520
Speaker 2: and then you came back after that. But it was

222
00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:42,120
Speaker 2: just such a moment where everybody was, Wow, look at

223
00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:44,520
Speaker 2: what we just did. So now that we've done that

224
00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:47,199
Speaker 2: and you have those two young men Cjsjohn and will

225
00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:50,480
Speaker 2: Anderson bringing them into the building, we've seen them as

226
00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:52,840
Speaker 2: football players, but y'all got a chance to meet them

227
00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:55,720
Speaker 2: and know them. What was in y'all's mind so special

228
00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:58,080
Speaker 2: about those two guys that we drafted at two and three.

229
00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:00,480
Speaker 5: Oh you're a good hugger by the way, thank you,

230
00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:01,720
Speaker 5: give you, thank you.

231
00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:08,000
Speaker 7: I think when they came here to visit with their families,

232
00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:11,559
Speaker 7: you can tell a lot about a person aside from

233
00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:13,800
Speaker 7: just talking to them by their families and their interactions

234
00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:17,480
Speaker 7: with their families, that relationship, and we really got to

235
00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:19,080
Speaker 7: spend a lot of time with them when they came

236
00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:22,199
Speaker 7: that following day and their families, and you just got

237
00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:24,040
Speaker 7: to see them for who they are off the field.

238
00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:27,719
Speaker 7: The way they interacted with our kids. You know, they

239
00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:32,160
Speaker 7: just treated everyone as important. Nobody was beneath them to

240
00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:35,960
Speaker 7: talk to or converse with and get to know. So

241
00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:39,280
Speaker 7: I just thought that was incredible of the family. The

242
00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:42,520
Speaker 7: parents have raised their sons well and you can see that.

243
00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:45,720
Speaker 5: Yeah, and they both have interesting journeys which I think

244
00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:49,720
Speaker 5: you'll have chronicled a little bit. And and their their talent,

245
00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:52,720
Speaker 5: you know, is there. You know, that's on question. The

246
00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:55,160
Speaker 5: talent is there, and then getting to know them a

247
00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:58,360
Speaker 5: little bit has really been a really pleasure of ours.

248
00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:01,000
Speaker 4: So what's it been like watching tas in mini camp

249
00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:05,840
Speaker 4: practice this year with these new players, with Demiico Ryans coaching,

250
00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:08,680
Speaker 4: this new staff, what are you seeing out there?

251
00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:12,640
Speaker 5: Improvement? Seeing a lot of improvement from day one to

252
00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:16,400
Speaker 5: the end. I'm looking forward to seeing that improvement continue

253
00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:19,600
Speaker 5: through training camp leading up to the games. You see

254
00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:22,240
Speaker 5: a lot of great energy. You see it in the staff,

255
00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:24,880
Speaker 5: you see it in the players. That's a total buy

256
00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:27,280
Speaker 5: in on the players, and you see it and feel it,

257
00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:29,920
Speaker 5: and it's just great to be around.

258
00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:32,680
Speaker 2: I know it happens to us a lot when we're

259
00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:36,000
Speaker 2: out when we see people that we know are people

260
00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:38,560
Speaker 2: that figure out who we are and they're like Texans

261
00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:41,280
Speaker 2: and they want to just immediately start talking about certain

262
00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:44,200
Speaker 2: things about the Texans. When that happens when y'all are

263
00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:47,360
Speaker 2: out and about what's the most excited aspect that the

264
00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:49,000
Speaker 2: fans want to talk to you about? Are people that

265
00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:51,080
Speaker 2: you talk to your friends and family, What do they

266
00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:53,160
Speaker 2: want to talk to you about about this Texans season?

267
00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:54,360
Speaker 1: What makes them so excited?

268
00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:58,400
Speaker 7: I think they just are excited for the season. We

269
00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:00,520
Speaker 7: really don't get a whole lot of question. There's some

270
00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:02,800
Speaker 7: here and there, but most of the time it's people

271
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:05,880
Speaker 7: just saying we are so excited. It is nice to

272
00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:09,520
Speaker 7: have this feeling. You know, we know we're not going

273
00:12:09,559 --> 00:12:12,080
Speaker 7: to be perfect, but we know we have a foundation.

274
00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:16,240
Speaker 7: So just knowing that and everybody feeling that and just

275
00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:19,400
Speaker 7: going together and building this thing together, we have a

276
00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:20,280
Speaker 7: very bright future.

277
00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:20,800
Speaker 3: I like that.

278
00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:24,280
Speaker 4: I like that foundation word because that's really what you're

279
00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:28,400
Speaker 4: feeling here, the foundation of excellence, and whatever stage we

280
00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:30,600
Speaker 4: are in the growth process, that's what it is, and

281
00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:33,240
Speaker 4: we'll see where it goes from here. Because before the draft,

282
00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:34,600
Speaker 4: it was who are you going to take? Right?

283
00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:36,240
Speaker 6: Then after that, who's your coach?

284
00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:38,520
Speaker 4: Yeah? Before that's who. It's kind of like when you

285
00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:40,880
Speaker 4: get married, when's the wedding day? Then when's the baby?

286
00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:41,319
Speaker 1: Right?

287
00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:44,839
Speaker 4: So the Seeson is the baby. We'll see how it goes.

288
00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:48,360
Speaker 5: I think people like the direction they're seeing, is what

289
00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:52,360
Speaker 5: I sense in visiting with people as as I come

290
00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:55,120
Speaker 5: up and around, just around town and everywhere. So I

291
00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:57,320
Speaker 5: think they really like the direction that they're seeing from

292
00:12:57,320 --> 00:12:57,600
Speaker 5: the team.

293
00:12:57,640 --> 00:12:59,320
Speaker 4: All right, I wanted to ask you about this because

294
00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:02,640
Speaker 4: along those lines, you see a lot of people at

295
00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:07,240
Speaker 4: athletic events for the children. Right, you two are in it.

296
00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:10,840
Speaker 4: You are going to these games. You're with the other parents.

297
00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:15,400
Speaker 4: It's a very typical, well, nothing's typical about kids sports.

298
00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:18,520
Speaker 4: Right every night is like the Super Bowl. So you're

299
00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:23,439
Speaker 4: in that environment, so you're interacting. Are parents so engaged

300
00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:25,920
Speaker 4: in their own kids performance that they don't really have

301
00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:28,800
Speaker 4: time to come over? Are they Are they respectful of

302
00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:31,520
Speaker 4: your space and time that way, or are they in

303
00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:34,000
Speaker 4: it asking about the draft and other things about the team.

304
00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:38,360
Speaker 6: They're pretty respectful. Yeah, I guess.

305
00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:41,280
Speaker 7: Pregames sometimes they'll come over and talk and We don't

306
00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:41,880
Speaker 7: mind at all.

307
00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:43,200
Speaker 6: We love it.

308
00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:46,160
Speaker 7: We love talking football, we love talking Texans. It's very

309
00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:47,000
Speaker 7: important a part.

310
00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:47,480
Speaker 6: Of our life.

311
00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:51,360
Speaker 7: During the games, I actually do game changer, so don't

312
00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:55,040
Speaker 7: talk to me. Yeah, so I'm keeping score, I'm keeping

313
00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:58,160
Speaker 7: pitch count, I'm doing all the plays.

314
00:13:57,840 --> 00:13:58,560
Speaker 4: Major focused.

315
00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:00,600

00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:38,840

329
00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:47,840
Speaker 5: you know, the team. So it's been fun. It's always

330
00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:50,320
Speaker 5: fun to be out and around the folks. So because

331
00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:56,320
Speaker 5: we are.

332
00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:56,240
Speaker 6: We're sweating in one hundred and wether.

333
00:14:57,680 --> 00:15:02,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, I can't imagine the difference. You're watching professional sports team,

334
00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:06,280
Speaker 4: You're watching your team play in one context, and you're

335
00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:10,040
Speaker 4: watching your kids team playing another. So it's got to

336
00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:13,240
Speaker 4: be tough to sort of separate yourself from the moment

337
00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:15,000
Speaker 4: and the things you can control and the things you

338
00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:16,680
Speaker 4: can't in the moment, right.

339
00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:19,480
Speaker 5: It's a joy. It's fun. It is so much fun.

340
00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:23,320
Speaker 5: I love sports, love team sports, specially especially right now,

341
00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:25,760
Speaker 5: we're enjoying, you know, the kids. In a few weeks

342
00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:28,000
Speaker 5: we'll be enjoying the football team.

343
00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:28,720
Speaker 6: So well.

344
00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:33,120
Speaker 7: We watch our kids on game, kids on games.

345
00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:36,800
Speaker 5: Yeah, there's a lot going on, and we enjoy all

346
00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:37,480
Speaker 5: the seasons.

347
00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:40,840
Speaker 2: I should ask this, but I probably shouldn't. I'm gonna

348
00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:43,880
Speaker 2: ask anyways through it, who's hardest on the empires? As

349
00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:45,880
Speaker 2: you're watching your kids, do you say anything at all?

350
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:48,600
Speaker 2: Or you just button up the whole time? Because I

351
00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:51,720
Speaker 2: know as a parent, I'm.

352
00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:53,040
Speaker 6: Always if you're going to compare cal and I, it's

353
00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:53,760
Speaker 6: probably me.

354
00:15:54,360 --> 00:16:01,840
Speaker 5: I'm offering them water, complimenting them on their address, what

355
00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:04,280
Speaker 5: a great job they're doing, because I want to get

356
00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:07,360
Speaker 5: that call late in the game. So yeah, we talked.

357
00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:10,920
Speaker 5: I'll talk, they'll ask me football, and so I'm happy

358
00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:12,000
Speaker 5: to talk to them about that.

359
00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:14,480
Speaker 4: And you guys get as much information as you want.

360
00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:18,360
Speaker 1: We better get these calls in the corners tonight. You

361
00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:18,600
Speaker 1: hear me.

362
00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:21,560
Speaker 7: Is there a Sestions fan you hope? We have had

363
00:16:21,880 --> 00:16:23,440
Speaker 7: umpires come up to us and go, well, I'm a

364
00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:24,160
Speaker 7: Cowboys fan.

365
00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:27,720
Speaker 6: So and they walk the home plate umpire, You're going, okay.

366
00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:31,280
Speaker 4: Okay, that's typical of Cowboys, umpire.

367
00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:33,800
Speaker 5: I mean, they're human. They all make mistakes, but they're

368
00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:36,440
Speaker 5: they're trying to call it right, and they're they're paid

369
00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:39,280
Speaker 5: very little and they're there. You're really for the kids,

370
00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:42,200
Speaker 5: and so when you understand that, it's easy to for

371
00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:44,280
Speaker 5: me to be nice to them.

372
00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:46,960
Speaker 4: That's that's a great point. I'm glad you brought that up.

373
00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:50,120
Speaker 4: And the coaches are volunteers for the most part.

374
00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:53,040
Speaker 2: When when done right, it's it's the best. There's no

375
00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:54,840
Speaker 2: there's no question by it. There parents would take it

376
00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:56,480
Speaker 2: over the edge, but those are others.

377
00:16:56,520 --> 00:16:58,600
Speaker 6: Have you my lesson, Johnny? Okay?

378
00:16:58,800 --> 00:16:59,120
Speaker 3: You have?

379
00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:03,320
Speaker 4: Yes, you've learned your letters to be seen some instances

380
00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:05,040
Speaker 4: and did they involve you? Oh?

381
00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:07,960
Speaker 7: No, And I've seen it. I go, yeah, I don't

382
00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:08,760
Speaker 7: want to be that person.

383
00:17:08,840 --> 00:17:11,560
Speaker 6: But again, I mean, you are in sports and you

384
00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:12,280
Speaker 6: are very.

385
00:17:12,119 --> 00:17:15,080
Speaker 7: Amped up, and especially when it involves your child, you

386
00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:17,080
Speaker 7: have to really make a conscious effort. And I have

387
00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:20,120
Speaker 7: not been perfect. I have not been perfect. I'm sorry, umpires,

388
00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:24,040
Speaker 7: but you do try to keep it.

389
00:17:24,040 --> 00:17:25,119
Speaker 4: It's not just the yumps.

390
00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:27,760
Speaker 7: Game changer helps me, right, I have to stay focused.

391
00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:29,000
Speaker 7: I can't really.

392
00:17:28,760 --> 00:17:30,320
Speaker 1: Talk so true, that's the best.

393
00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:33,880
Speaker 7: Focused on game changer and but keeping They generally come

394
00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:36,000
Speaker 7: and ask me what's the score? What's the pitch count?

395
00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:37,680
Speaker 7: For players? Anyway, so I interact with them.

396
00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:40,560
Speaker 4: I've kept stats during basketball games for my kids, and

397
00:17:40,600 --> 00:17:44,160
Speaker 4: by the third quarter I'm out of it, you know, mentally,

398
00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:46,080
Speaker 4: I'm just into the game and I just lost track

399
00:17:46,119 --> 00:17:50,200
Speaker 4: of the stats. Sorry, guys, today's stats are horrible. Season premiere.

400
00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:52,560
Speaker 4: I want to get into this because last year you

Speaker 2: Have I know there are a lot of people out

00:19:30,040 --> 00:19:32,040
Speaker 2: there that had the opportunity to go with us on

436
00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:35,680
Speaker 2: a trip, but if you never have it, it is

437
00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:38,840
Speaker 2: absolutely the coolest thing you could ever do as a fan.

438
00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:42,560
Speaker 2: The way that that we travel and when the nfl

439
00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:44,600
Speaker 2: PA put out their their list, that was one of

440
00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:45,720
Speaker 2: the things where we were a plus.

441
00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:46,960
Speaker 1: And I mean it's it's an a plus.

442
00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:49,880
Speaker 2: So if you get an opportunity at season premiere to

443
00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:52,520
Speaker 2: bid on this at auction, do it because you will.

444
00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:55,520
Speaker 1: You'll absolutely you'll love it. I mean, y'all, y'all know it.

445
00:19:55,560 --> 00:19:57,200
Speaker 1: Martin knows that I know it because we've done it before.

446
00:19:57,240 --> 00:19:59,040
Speaker 2: But I'm telling you, when you do it and you

447
00:19:59,119 --> 00:20:02,160
Speaker 2: realize on the plane with the players, I'm on the plane,

448
00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:04,960
Speaker 2: I'm going on the bus, it's fantastic. And yeah, you

449
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:06,840
Speaker 2: can find me down on the sidelines. There are a

450
00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:09,200
Speaker 2: lot of things that go with training camp starting season premieres.

451
00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:11,680
Speaker 2: One obviously football, but we also have joint practices coming

452
00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:14,400
Speaker 2: back this year. Oh yeah, how excited y'all about having

453
00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:16,359
Speaker 2: the Dolphins here but then going to New Orleans and

454
00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:19,040
Speaker 2: taking on the Saints a couple of days of joint practice.

455
00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:22,240
Speaker 5: Well, we love lining up and competing with other teams,

456
00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:25,960
Speaker 5: and so I'm looking forward to it. I think I

457
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:32,040
Speaker 5: think it's really healthy when preseason has been shaved down

458
00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:34,639
Speaker 5: to three or four games in order to get the

459
00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:37,680
Speaker 5: guys ready for the regular season. I think these joint

460
00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:41,520
Speaker 5: practices replace some of those other preseason games that we

461
00:20:41,560 --> 00:20:44,240
Speaker 5: don't have, and it helps you get your team ready

462
00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:46,880
Speaker 5: for the season, which is the whole point of training camp.

463
00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:49,960
Speaker 4: Hannah was going to say something about the track, well know,

464
00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:50,679
Speaker 4: not the travel.

465
00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:52,440
Speaker 7: I was going to say something about an auction item.

466
00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:54,639
Speaker 7: So last year Cal's mom came up with an auction

467
00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:57,080
Speaker 7: item that she wanted to bid on. She got out bid,

468
00:20:57,160 --> 00:21:00,119
Speaker 7: but we cook for her anytime. So it's the cook

469
00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:04,760
Speaker 7: out with Cal at our house. Cal grills and you

470
00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:06,639

482
00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:41,120
Speaker 4: If I'm making a burger? Is it really sacrilege if

483
00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:43,880
Speaker 4: I make a small incision to see if it's done properly?

484
00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:46,639
Speaker 5: Why would you cut a burger and let all the

485
00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:47,520
Speaker 5: juices come out?

486
00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:49,639
Speaker 4: It's not, but I'll make it. It's a tiny little

487
00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:51,399
Speaker 4: scalpel cut. I can't do that.

488
00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:55,680
Speaker 5: Now, get a little thermometer with it's a very small

489
00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:58,280
Speaker 5: and stick it in there and check the temperature instant

490
00:21:58,280 --> 00:21:59,320
Speaker 5: read the best way to do it.

491
00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:01,520
Speaker 6: See if you know how to grill hamburgers, you know

492
00:22:01,560 --> 00:22:02,240
Speaker 6: how long it takes?

493
00:22:02,520 --> 00:22:05,560
Speaker 7: With yes, you got to know, Mark.

494
00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:07,240
Speaker 4: I just wanted to see what Cal was going to say,

495
00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:09,720
Speaker 4: but I got it from the master, the grill master.

496
00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:14,280
Speaker 4: One other comment, Oh, Pittsburgh coming in with JJ Watt

497
00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:17,320
Speaker 4: being inducted into the Ring of Honor. That is so special.

498
00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:20,080
Speaker 4: There's so many great home games and nine home games

499
00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:22,960
Speaker 4: being a seventeen game schedule, AFC's turned to have nine

500
00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:25,720
Speaker 4: home games, but that's a real shining moment on the

501
00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:27,280
Speaker 4: schedule as we look at it.

502
00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:29,919
Speaker 5: Yeah, we're really excited to have JJ coming back and

503
00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:32,199
Speaker 5: honor him and the Ring of Honor and we'll have

504
00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:34,080
Speaker 5: him in for training camp for a day or two,

505
00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:37,040
Speaker 5: and then he'll be in for that weekend. And just

506
00:22:37,119 --> 00:22:40,240
Speaker 5: to you know, he was just a dominant player on

507
00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:43,600
Speaker 5: the field that it's right for us to do this.

508
00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:47,760
Speaker 5: But also because he was, you know, attached to the

509
00:22:47,760 --> 00:22:50,480
Speaker 5: community in that special way that he was and in

510
00:22:50,520 --> 00:22:53,280
Speaker 5: the fans, but the community as a whole, that we're

511
00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:54,760
Speaker 5: really excited to bring him back.

512
00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:57,560
Speaker 7: And it's only fitting that it's at a game where

513
00:22:57,600 --> 00:23:00,320
Speaker 7: his family. He will be playing his brother, so his

514
00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:03,119
Speaker 7: whole family gets to be there for that moment. I

515
00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:05,640
Speaker 7: think that's only fitting for what we're about. We're about family,

516
00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:09,920
Speaker 7: and to have to have JJ inducted on the day

517
00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:12,640
Speaker 7: that his brother is playing is really special.

518
00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:14,959
Speaker 5: And his mom will be there and I think it

519
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:17,159
Speaker 5: may be her birthday, so that's right. Oh wow, just

520
00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:20,280
Speaker 5: all around, it's going to be fun. We'll have all

521
00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:22,679
Speaker 5: our legends will be back for that weekend. Oh yeah,

522
00:23:22,720 --> 00:23:24,360
Speaker 5: So it'll be a lot of fun because.

523
00:23:24,200 --> 00:23:27,399
Speaker 1: You know when they played against one another, it was Covid.

524
00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:29,600
Speaker 1: It was COVID. Yeah, so nobody was in the building.

525
00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:32,880
Speaker 4: They got the photo, but that's it was empty Covid.

526
00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:33,560
Speaker 1: There's nobody.

527
00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:36,240
Speaker 7: When he played against his other brother though, it wasn't COVID,

528
00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:38,560
Speaker 7: that was Remember that was at the coliseum.

00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:56,520
Speaker 2: Talk to the McNair's Bob because obviously been talked to

537
00:23:56,560 --> 00:23:57,600
Speaker 2: him in a little bit on the radio.

538
00:23:57,680 --> 00:23:58,879
Speaker 3: So that was great.

539
00:23:58,920 --> 00:24:02,320
Speaker 2: And the story I said happened draft night was I

540
00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:05,560
Speaker 2: was kind of shocked to see them at the draft

541
00:24:05,800 --> 00:24:08,159
Speaker 2: party because I knew they had gone back.

542
00:24:08,560 --> 00:24:09,960
Speaker 3: I was like, they came back.

543
00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:13,440
Speaker 2: Wait a second, they were here earlier. So I thought

544
00:24:13,440 --> 00:24:15,640
Speaker 2: it was really cool that they wanted to be amongst

545
00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:19,160
Speaker 2: the fans for what turned out to be a momentous

546
00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:21,200
Speaker 2: night and hopefully the momentum.

547
00:24:20,840 --> 00:24:22,760
Speaker 3: Will keep on going.

548
00:24:22,840 --> 00:24:25,080
Speaker 2: All right, our next segment, we're going to take a

549
00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:27,040
Speaker 2: look back at a guy who spent just a year

550
00:24:27,040 --> 00:24:28,720
Speaker 2: and a half here, but he had a found impact

551
00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:30,880
Speaker 2: impact on a lot of people, including yours.

552
00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:32,640
Speaker 3: Truly. I was a big fan of.

553
00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:35,040
Speaker 2: Ryan Mallet in a lot of different ways, and I

554
00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:38,640
Speaker 2: grew to really respect and love that man. He passed

555
00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:40,760
Speaker 2: this week, but Mark and I talked about that, and

556
00:24:40,760 --> 00:24:43,000
Speaker 2: we'll have a little snippet for you from an interview

557
00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:45,440
Speaker 2: he did on a show that we loved called Late

558
00:24:45,520 --> 00:24:46,480
Speaker 2: Texans Late Night.

559
00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:48,600
Speaker 3: You'll love that. That's next the Texans All Access.

560
00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:50,920

Speaker 2: the Hyundai Texans Radio studio. John and Mark stay with you.

562
00:24:54,400 --> 00:24:57,119
Speaker 2: That was a fun conversation with the mcnairs. If you

563
00:24:57,359 --> 00:25:01,920
Speaker 2: missed it, go to Houston Texas dot com get the

Speaker 2: So if you missed it, well, there you go, you'll

566
00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:08,879
Speaker 2: have it. I'm sure the guys on sports Rado six

567
00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:11,720
Speaker 2: ten might have a little bit of that on Thursday

568
00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:14,120
Speaker 2: as well, so you can also tune into them and

569
00:25:14,160 --> 00:25:16,359

00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:18,040
Speaker 2: to see app all the time for Sports Radio six ten.

571
00:25:18,040 --> 00:25:21,560
Speaker 2: It's absolutely awesome stuff. Now, unfortunately, what was not awesome

572
00:25:21,720 --> 00:25:25,440
Speaker 2: was losing big Text yesterday. Mark Ryan Mallett. He was

573
00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:27,119
Speaker 2: a guy that we got to know. He's here for

574
00:25:27,119 --> 00:25:29,520
Speaker 2: a year and a half, but I felt like we

575
00:25:29,600 --> 00:25:32,560
Speaker 2: got to know him pretty well. And I told the story.

576
00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:34,360
Speaker 2: There are a couple of stories about Ryan. I think,

577
00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:38,360
Speaker 2: are you really really fun to tell? I was doing

578
00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:41,439
Speaker 2: radio on the other side in our old studio and

579
00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:43,879
Speaker 2: I was actually recording. This is during the summer, and

580
00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:48,840
Speaker 2: you know how this goes with interviews with players. You

581
00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:50,480
Speaker 2: get permission, you know, just.

582
00:25:51,160 --> 00:25:52,159
Speaker 1: Walk on in. Let's go.

583
00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:53,440
Speaker 4: Yeah. PR's got to know about it.

584
00:25:53,520 --> 00:25:54,199
Speaker 1: PR's got to know.

585
00:25:54,480 --> 00:25:57,520
Speaker 2: So Ryan had been in the media workroom, which is

586
00:25:57,520 --> 00:26:00,360
Speaker 2: just adjacent to the studios, just a walkway, and so

587
00:26:00,440 --> 00:26:03,680
Speaker 2: he happened to see me at the in the old

588
00:26:03,720 --> 00:26:05,080
Speaker 2: studio and he.

589
00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:07,040
Speaker 1: Just peeked his head in. He's like, what's up, man,

590
00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:08,920
Speaker 1: what are you doing? I said, Man, I'm just getting

591
00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:10,840
Speaker 1: ready together. He goes, all right, man, let's chopping up.

592
00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:13,800
Speaker 1: Let's go, oh boy, And he started to sit down.

593
00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:17,560
Speaker 2: And this is when our buddy Brett Mikoski was here, yeah,

594
00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:20,000
Speaker 2: And I looked at Brad we bother his look on

595
00:26:20,040 --> 00:26:23,080
Speaker 2: his face like and I know, Ryan's looking at me

596
00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:25,480
Speaker 2: like what And I looked over at Brad's like are

597
00:26:25,480 --> 00:26:26,000
Speaker 2: you cool with that?

598
00:26:26,760 --> 00:26:29,760
Speaker 1: And thank god, Brett just went, oh, yeah, go ahead,

599
00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:32,040
Speaker 1: let's do it. Sat right down.

600
00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:35,159
Speaker 2: And we talked for probably ten twelve minutes and I

601
00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:37,280
Speaker 2: asked him about being a coach's kid, which he was,

602
00:26:37,320 --> 00:26:39,240
Speaker 2: and I asked him, when you know, when your career

603
00:26:39,280 --> 00:26:43,080
Speaker 2: is done at some point, what do you want to do?

604
00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:44,640
Speaker 1: Do you want to coach like your dad? And he said,

605
00:26:44,640 --> 00:26:47,040
Speaker 1: you know what I think? So yeah, and he did.

606
00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:47,480
Speaker 1: He did.

607
00:26:47,520 --> 00:26:49,600
Speaker 2: He said he wanted to be a coach, and that's

608
00:26:49,600 --> 00:26:51,120
Speaker 2: what he had been doing. He was the head coach

609
00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:55,320
Speaker 2: for Whitehall High School and I knew once he got

610
00:26:55,320 --> 00:26:57,520
Speaker 2: into coaching, I knew he was going to have a

611
00:26:57,600 --> 00:27:02,360
Speaker 2: really significant impact on kids. So hearing that news yesterday,

612
00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:05,680
Speaker 2: knowing that those kids lost him, coaching world lost him,

613
00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:08,920
Speaker 2: and then we, just as friends and fans lost him,

614
00:27:09,040 --> 00:27:10,080
Speaker 2: was pretty sad stuff.

615
00:27:10,119 --> 00:27:14,480
Speaker 4: Mark, Well, you just never expect, obviously, something like that

616
00:27:14,520 --> 00:27:18,080
Speaker 4: to happen. And how many times have you thought about

617
00:27:18,160 --> 00:27:21,359
Speaker 4: Ryan Mallett recently? Maybe not that much because the context

618
00:27:21,600 --> 00:27:25,520
Speaker 4: in football terms is twenty fourteen, twenty fifteen here, and

619
00:27:25,600 --> 00:27:28,840
Speaker 4: we're in a completely different situation right now. But then

620
00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:31,160
Speaker 4: everything just comes back to you, right you start thinking

621
00:27:31,160 --> 00:27:34,640
Speaker 4: about Ryan and the hope that he was because they

622
00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:36,440
Speaker 4: traded for him right before the start of the regular

623
00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:42,520
Speaker 4: season in twenty fourteen, and in twenty fifteen he lost

624
00:27:42,520 --> 00:27:46,040
Speaker 4: that starting bid in the offseason of Brian Hoyer. But

625
00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:48,160
Speaker 4: in twenty fourteen had the great start against the Browns.

626
00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:50,560
Speaker 4: I mentioned this last night, great start against the Browns

627
00:27:50,600 --> 00:27:53,080
Speaker 4: Alfred Blue Winton Nuts. In that game, Ryan throws the

628
00:27:53,119 --> 00:27:55,840
Speaker 4: TD pass to JJ Watt, who tweeted about his death

629
00:27:56,240 --> 00:27:59,080
Speaker 4: last night, and he had the injury, played through the

630
00:27:59,119 --> 00:28:00,880
Speaker 4: Bengals game with it. But that was it for Ryan

631
00:28:00,880 --> 00:28:04,080
Speaker 4: Mallet in twenty fourteen. I just felt that twenty fifteen,

632
00:28:04,680 --> 00:28:07,439
Speaker 4: that was a golden opportunity for him in the offseason.

633
00:28:07,480 --> 00:28:09,560
Speaker 4: He could not take advantage of it. I thought he

634
00:28:09,560 --> 00:28:13,000
Speaker 4: should have outplayed Brian Hoyer. And it's too bad because

635
00:28:13,040 --> 00:28:14,520
Speaker 4: and he'll be the first to tell you that he

636
00:28:14,560 --> 00:28:17,119
Speaker 4: felt that too, and he just wasn't able to get

637
00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:18,920
Speaker 4: over the hump. But he got the starting job back

638
00:28:19,320 --> 00:28:22,960
Speaker 4: and he beat the Tampa Bay Buccaneers Lovey Smith Jameis

639
00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:26,000
Speaker 4: Winston here and went two and two as a starter

640
00:28:26,119 --> 00:28:28,400
Speaker 4: at the time, but then the wheel started to come

641
00:28:28,400 --> 00:28:31,760
Speaker 4: off football wise against the Atlanta Falcons the following week.

642
00:28:31,800 --> 00:28:33,520
Speaker 4: And look, I don't mean to recap some of the

643
00:28:33,560 --> 00:28:36,800
Speaker 4: negative stuff from a football sense, but I loved him

644
00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:39,440
Speaker 4: as a guy, you know, just a player in the building.

645
00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:42,360
Speaker 4: He was always really nice to us. Hannah McNair was

646
00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:45,080
Speaker 4: talking about how nice he was to their kids. I

647
00:28:45,120 --> 00:28:48,040
Speaker 4: always had pleasant memories of being around Ryan. And it

648
00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:50,120
Speaker 4: wasn't even that long here. It was just a little

649
00:28:50,120 --> 00:28:53,640
Speaker 4: bit over a year, really, and calendar time just feels

650
00:28:53,680 --> 00:28:56,560
Speaker 4: longer in football time. And it's so sad. It's just

651
00:28:57,200 --> 00:29:00,000
Speaker 4: it's tragic. I don't know what else to say about it.

652
00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:01,960
Speaker 4: I don't know a lot of the details. I'm hearing

653
00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:05,520
Speaker 4: about all these drowning deaths in Florida now, everybody's been

654
00:29:05,560 --> 00:29:08,960
Speaker 4: talking about it today, and it's just terrible, Johnny to hear.

655
00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:09,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, it is terrible.

656
00:29:10,320 --> 00:29:13,880
Speaker 2: He was He was just such a he was not

657
00:29:14,040 --> 00:29:18,880
Speaker 2: I think like the the the general public knew him.

658
00:29:18,920 --> 00:29:20,520
Speaker 1: I mean, he was just he was a sweetheart of

659
00:29:20,520 --> 00:29:24,880
Speaker 1: a guy. But he had that kind of mischievous side too.

660
00:29:24,920 --> 00:29:27,200
Speaker 2: We were in New Orleans and we were playing the

661
00:29:27,760 --> 00:29:30,360
Speaker 2: preseason game against New Orleans, and so I was doing

662
00:29:30,360 --> 00:29:33,480
Speaker 2: my pregame interview by the field and they're going through

663
00:29:33,480 --> 00:29:36,840
Speaker 2: warm ups and luckily I was paying attention because he

664
00:29:36,880 --> 00:29:38,720
Speaker 2: was kind of testing me. So he decided to fire

665
00:29:38,760 --> 00:29:42,000
Speaker 2: one over and knew where I was, and I luckily

666
00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:44,720
Speaker 2: happened to see it and the ball skipped off the turf,

667
00:29:44,720 --> 00:29:47,600
Speaker 2: which was artif turf. With his arm, that ball's screaming,

668
00:29:47,960 --> 00:29:50,680
Speaker 2: and I just, lucky as can be, reached out snagged

669
00:29:50,680 --> 00:29:53,479
Speaker 2: it with one hand, just trying to kind of kind

670
00:29:53,520 --> 00:29:55,920
Speaker 2: of defend myself off the bounce, but off the bounce,

671
00:29:57,000 --> 00:29:59,920
Speaker 2: and I looked over there and he was going crazy.

672
00:30:00,120 --> 00:30:02,520
Speaker 2: He was just like, Oh, he was so excited the

673
00:30:02,520 --> 00:30:03,720
Speaker 2: fact that I snagged that one.

674
00:30:03,760 --> 00:30:05,440
Speaker 1: And I was like, Oh, ry him out. You don't

675
00:30:05,440 --> 00:30:05,840
Speaker 1: even know.

676
00:30:06,600 --> 00:30:09,400
Speaker 2: Four years later we saw him with Baltimore, and he

677
00:30:09,440 --> 00:30:11,280
Speaker 2: was just he was a different guy, just from a

678
00:30:11,280 --> 00:30:13,360
Speaker 2: standpoint of like you could tell he had grown up,

679
00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:16,200
Speaker 2: he had gone through some things and was really gracious

680
00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:19,200
Speaker 2: to the Ravens for giving him a shot, and I

681
00:30:19,240 --> 00:30:21,680
Speaker 2: just thought he was just a different his mindset was different.

682
00:30:21,720 --> 00:30:23,800
Speaker 1: I was like, Okay, he's going to end up.

683
00:30:24,560 --> 00:30:27,520
Speaker 2: He's going to turn his life around in a positive

684
00:30:27,560 --> 00:30:29,840
Speaker 2: direction and really start helping people. And when I heard

685
00:30:29,840 --> 00:30:31,440
Speaker 2: he got into coach and I was like, that's the

686
00:30:31,440 --> 00:30:35,120
Speaker 2: perfect spot. In twenty fifteen, you and Deep had a

687
00:30:35,240 --> 00:30:38,520
Speaker 2: chance to go one on one basically by him out

688
00:30:38,960 --> 00:30:40,080
Speaker 2: on Texas Late Night.

689
00:30:40,120 --> 00:30:40,880
Speaker 1: This is fantastic.

690
00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:43,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, this is a show that we don't do anymore.

691
00:30:43,520 --> 00:30:45,640
Speaker 4: We did it for two years. It had a studio

692
00:30:45,720 --> 00:30:48,920
Speaker 4: audience and a lot of the great Texans fans would

693
00:30:48,960 --> 00:30:51,760
Speaker 4: come to the show. We taped it on I want

694
00:30:51,760 --> 00:30:55,440
Speaker 4: to say Wednesdays, and we had a player guest, and

695
00:30:55,480 --> 00:31:00,200
Speaker 4: we had good guests, Ryan Fitzpatrick, JJ Watt, DeAndre Hopkins

696
00:31:00,280 --> 00:31:03,240
Speaker 4: and of course the starting quarterback in twenty fifteen coming

697
00:31:03,280 --> 00:31:07,040
Speaker 4: off a win against the Buccaneers, Ryan Mallett. And we'll

698
00:31:07,040 --> 00:31:08,800
Speaker 4: play a little bit of it. I cut some of

699
00:31:08,800 --> 00:31:10,680
Speaker 4: it out because it was TV issue. We're showing b

700
00:31:10,800 --> 00:31:14,360
Speaker 4: roll and things like that. But here's Ryan on the

701
00:31:14,400 --> 00:31:17,360
Speaker 4: set of Texans Late Night in twenty fifteen, Deep b

702
00:31:17,520 --> 00:31:20,560
Speaker 4: Sudo and myself hosting how is it for you? I mean,

703
00:31:20,640 --> 00:31:24,000
Speaker 4: how special is it to play professional football in Texas.

704
00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:25,640
Speaker 4: You are the high school player of the year in

705
00:31:25,680 --> 00:31:28,280
Speaker 4: Texas and now you are in the NFL in Texas.

706
00:31:28,320 --> 00:31:29,440
Speaker 4: That's got to be really special.

707
00:31:29,800 --> 00:31:31,720
Speaker 8: It's really neat because I get to be close to

708
00:31:31,760 --> 00:31:34,280
Speaker 8: my family. Like last week, I think had thirty people

709
00:31:34,280 --> 00:31:36,440
Speaker 8: come to the game, So it gets kind of expensive

710
00:31:36,480 --> 00:31:39,360
Speaker 8: on the ticket end, but it's worth having everybody so close.

711
00:31:40,280 --> 00:31:42,240
Speaker 4: And just the tradition of football.

712
00:31:41,840 --> 00:31:44,000
Speaker 8: In this state is really important to me, just growing

713
00:31:44,080 --> 00:31:46,520
Speaker 8: up in high school, coming through the ranks with that.

714
00:31:46,920 --> 00:31:49,280
Speaker 8: So playing professionally here is it's really awesome.

715
00:31:49,640 --> 00:31:52,880
Speaker 9: You had a lot of accomplishments as a Texas high

716
00:31:52,880 --> 00:31:56,000
Speaker 9: school football player, and you had a nickname. A lot

717
00:31:56,040 --> 00:31:57,560
Speaker 9: of people don't like their nicknames, but you had a

718
00:31:57,560 --> 00:31:59,480
Speaker 9: really cool nickname, Big Tech Techs.

719
00:32:00,160 --> 00:32:02,959
Speaker 8: Yes, that actually always kind of confused me. We did

720
00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:06,440
Speaker 8: confuse why I lived in Arkansas, but I went to

721
00:32:06,480 --> 00:32:08,560
Speaker 8: school in Texas. I lived right on the state line.

722
00:32:08,680 --> 00:32:10,760
Speaker 4: So you're both really I mean, is that how you

723
00:32:10,840 --> 00:32:11,640
Speaker 4: regard yourself?

724
00:32:12,040 --> 00:32:15,120
Speaker 8: I consider myself both growing up that close. It's kind

725
00:32:15,120 --> 00:32:17,280
Speaker 8: of like the inner the inner circle, like you get

726
00:32:17,280 --> 00:32:18,000
Speaker 8: to pick what you know.

727
00:32:18,560 --> 00:32:19,640
Speaker 4: We're both if you want.

728
00:32:19,600 --> 00:32:22,160
Speaker 9: All right, But now you're playing professional football in Texas.

729
00:32:22,400 --> 00:32:25,120
Speaker 9: So now you're tex exercise, So how can we bring

730
00:32:25,160 --> 00:32:26,080
Speaker 9: this nickname back.

731
00:32:26,440 --> 00:32:28,040
Speaker 6: I think we want to revive it.

732
00:32:28,200 --> 00:32:29,920
Speaker 4: I think it's now I live in Texas, So you

733
00:32:29,920 --> 00:32:31,800
Speaker 4: don't mind if we use that, because you really can't

734
00:32:31,880 --> 00:32:32,640
Speaker 4: use it on yourself.

735
00:32:33,040 --> 00:32:35,720
Speaker 9: Yes, I think. I think maybe in the third person

736
00:32:35,760 --> 00:32:39,240
Speaker 9: in a press conference, Big Texas working hard every week,

737
00:32:40,240 --> 00:32:43,480
Speaker 9: Big Texas working on chemistry with the wide receiver. Try

738
00:32:43,520 --> 00:32:47,160
Speaker 9: that one and all the late people will get it.

739
00:32:47,800 --> 00:32:50,520
Speaker 4: Well, that goes yeah, that'll go over really well. What

740
00:32:50,560 --> 00:32:53,080
Speaker 4: was it like playing college football in Arkansas? I know

741
00:32:53,080 --> 00:32:54,680
Speaker 4: you started at Michigan, but he ended up playing with

742
00:32:54,720 --> 00:32:56,720
Speaker 4: that It was unbelievable. I actually grew up.

743
00:32:58,240 --> 00:33:00,720
Speaker 8: Parking cars at the games when I was little. Before

744
00:33:00,720 --> 00:33:02,880
Speaker 8: I moved to text Arcana, I lived up there and

745
00:33:02,960 --> 00:33:04,440
Speaker 8: I would park cars to be able to go to

746
00:33:04,520 --> 00:33:06,840
Speaker 8: the games for free. When I was like, uh, probably

747
00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:08,480
Speaker 8: that tall. Wasn't ever that tall, I don't think.

748
00:33:08,520 --> 00:33:12,000
Speaker 4: But so that had to be a tremendous thrill to

749
00:33:12,040 --> 00:33:14,920
Speaker 4: come back and play college. It was a mission. It

750
00:33:14,960 --> 00:33:16,880
Speaker 4: was very special to me.

751
00:33:16,960 --> 00:33:18,840
Speaker 8: I had a lot of people I knew in that

752
00:33:18,920 --> 00:33:21,200
Speaker 8: area because I lived there for a few years before

753
00:33:21,200 --> 00:33:23,960
Speaker 8: I moved to Texas, Canada, and so it was just special.

754
00:33:23,720 --> 00:33:24,280
Speaker 4: Coming back home.

755
00:33:24,320 --> 00:33:26,480
Speaker 8: I had always grown up wanted to be a hog,

756
00:33:27,240 --> 00:33:29,880
Speaker 8: you know, from day one, and just circumstances coming out

757
00:33:29,920 --> 00:33:32,080
Speaker 8: of high school didn't allow that. But then after a

758
00:33:32,160 --> 00:33:34,400
Speaker 8: year I came back and the rest is history.

759
00:33:34,720 --> 00:33:36,440

Speaker 2: I was so glad to see him in coaching and

790
00:34:50,080 --> 00:34:56,120
Speaker 2: then he passed in a drowning accident in Florida this week.

791

Speaker 2: are a lot of young men and that he was coaching.

793
00:35:02,320 --> 00:35:05,240
Speaker 2: I guarantee you he had a massive impact upon and

794
00:35:05,440 --> 00:35:07,719
Speaker 2: I just hate the fact that he won't be there

00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:11,960
Speaker 2: for those kids to reap the benefits. Just loved him,

815
00:35:57,360 --> 00:36:00,480
Speaker 10: in New Mexico, so after that, I feel like anywhere.

816
00:36:00,560 --> 00:36:04,320
Speaker 10: But I started my career in New England. Yeaht Foxborough,

817
00:36:04,360 --> 00:36:07,400
Speaker 10: it's a little different, but no, Houston it's a you

818
00:36:07,400 --> 00:36:10,720
Speaker 10: could tell. It's just it's an emerging, like thriving city.

819
00:36:11,000 --> 00:36:13,080
Speaker 10: It's getting bigger and bigger. You tell with the traffic.

820
00:36:13,360 --> 00:36:15,640
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, we're from originally Danzel.

821
00:36:15,760 --> 00:36:17,000
Speaker 10: I'm from southern California.

822
00:36:17,120 --> 00:36:17,920
Speaker 1: Where abouts.

823
00:36:18,760 --> 00:36:20,960
Speaker 10: I grew up in La Point, the California, so it's

824
00:36:21,080 --> 00:36:23,520
Speaker 10: about twenty miles like east of La.

825
00:36:23,560 --> 00:36:25,000
Speaker 1: So how did you How did you get to the

826
00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:26,440
Speaker 1: study in New Mexico for college?

827
00:36:27,280 --> 00:36:28,720
Speaker 4: My journey was okay.

828
00:36:28,800 --> 00:36:30,839
Speaker 10: I went to high school in West Covina at South

829
00:36:30,880 --> 00:36:31,640
Speaker 10: Hills High School.

830
00:36:33,760 --> 00:36:34,319
Speaker 1: I mean I did.

831
00:36:34,320 --> 00:36:36,040
Speaker 10: I thought I did well enough to earn a scholarship

832
00:36:36,080 --> 00:36:39,240
Speaker 10: so that I ended up walking on at Fresno State.

833
00:36:39,680 --> 00:36:42,360
Speaker 10: I was there for a semester, called my mom. I

834
00:36:42,440 --> 00:36:45,280
Speaker 10: was like, no, I'm coming back home. Went to Fullerton

835
00:36:45,320 --> 00:36:49,200
Speaker 10: College and Junior College pretty near from where I grew up,

836
00:36:49,719 --> 00:36:51,880
Speaker 10: and ended up getting a scholarship after two years to

837
00:36:52,360 --> 00:36:55,080
Speaker 10: University of Mexico. It's a little bit of a journeyman.

838
00:36:55,480 --> 00:36:59,600
Speaker 2: But the journey, I know you probably say that like

839
00:37:00,040 --> 00:37:01,880
Speaker 2: I didn't follow maybe the same path others did, But

840
00:37:02,360 --> 00:37:04,200
Speaker 2: it feels like the journey probably put you in that

841
00:37:04,320 --> 00:37:04,840
Speaker 2: chair today.

842
00:37:05,200 --> 00:37:05,960
Speaker 4: Yeah for sure.

843
00:37:06,280 --> 00:37:09,120
Speaker 10: Yeah, because I kind of going to junior college kind

844
00:37:09,120 --> 00:37:11,120
Speaker 10: of put me well to start. I started my career.

845
00:37:11,120 --> 00:37:13,640
Speaker 10: I played for a snoop Dogg's little league team. Oh wow,

846
00:37:13,760 --> 00:37:15,200
Speaker 10: like I was. I was in front of a lot

847
00:37:15,280 --> 00:37:16,840
Speaker 10: like I played in front of a lot of people,

848
00:37:16,880 --> 00:37:19,759
Speaker 10: so like playing football was never like in front of

849
00:37:19,760 --> 00:37:22,040
Speaker 10: people like I never. I don't get like you getting nervous,

850
00:37:22,080 --> 00:37:24,480
Speaker 10: you get the butter for that's just excitement. And I

851
00:37:24,520 --> 00:37:26,440
Speaker 10: was just I feel like I was always ready for

852
00:37:26,520 --> 00:37:29,799
Speaker 10: like that big stage, just because the opportunities that he

853
00:37:29,840 --> 00:37:32,240
Speaker 10: was able to give us, Like we played in Miami,

854
00:37:32,400 --> 00:37:36,200
Speaker 10: we played in Detroit, Dallas, like we traveled as kids.

855
00:37:37,040 --> 00:37:39,960
Speaker 10: So yeah, and then just going to Fullarton, like I

856
00:37:39,960 --> 00:37:41,960
Speaker 10: had a great coach. His name was Phil Austin. I

857
00:37:42,239 --> 00:37:43,880
Speaker 10: kind of saw like the jump and I was like

858
00:37:43,920 --> 00:37:45,319
Speaker 10: I think I could I could do this.

859
00:37:45,560 --> 00:37:48,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, all right, let's fast forward to the Saint Louis BattleHawks.

860
00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:49,879
Speaker 4: How long are you there?

861
00:37:50,640 --> 00:37:53,560
Speaker 10: I never even went because it was kind of like

862
00:37:54,880 --> 00:37:57,919
Speaker 10: it was in a transition period. I did training camp

863
00:37:57,960 --> 00:38:01,360
Speaker 10: with the Dolphins, they released me, and then it was

864
00:38:01,360 --> 00:38:03,959
Speaker 10: like okay, so what's an ex XFL. USFL is calling

865
00:38:04,040 --> 00:38:08,360
Speaker 10: Canada's calling, And then like right when I made a

866
00:38:08,400 --> 00:38:10,920
Speaker 10: decision like okay, I can. I want to play football,

867
00:38:10,960 --> 00:38:13,640
Speaker 10: so I'll do the XFL. Then the Texans called Nick

868
00:38:13,680 --> 00:38:16,399
Speaker 10: Caseario and my agent have a good relationship, so so.

869
00:38:16,400 --> 00:38:19,400
Speaker 4: It was a Caso interception. Otherwise you might have been

870
00:38:19,400 --> 00:38:20,200
Speaker 4: in St Lewis.

871
00:38:20,280 --> 00:38:23,600
Speaker 10: Yeah, I did my workout with It was in early

872
00:38:24,560 --> 00:38:26,520
Speaker 10: it had to be like middle of September. I did

873
00:38:26,520 --> 00:38:28,879
Speaker 10: a workout here with the Texans and then they called

874
00:38:28,920 --> 00:38:29,759
Speaker 10: in November.

875
00:38:30,520 --> 00:38:32,920
Speaker 2: So in going through, like you said, going through your

876
00:38:32,960 --> 00:38:35,719
Speaker 2: journey and going through kind of the adversity to get

877
00:38:35,760 --> 00:38:38,480
Speaker 2: where you are, does it give you a greater appreciation?

878
00:38:38,600 --> 00:38:40,080
Speaker 1: Does it put a kind of a bigger chip on

879
00:38:40,120 --> 00:38:40,600
Speaker 1: your shoulder?

880
00:38:40,840 --> 00:38:42,880
Speaker 2: Hey man, I got to prove something to somebody, or

881
00:38:43,040 --> 00:38:44,120
Speaker 2: you gotta prove something yourself.

882
00:38:44,120 --> 00:38:46,800
Speaker 1: How do you kind of view kind of your football

883
00:38:46,840 --> 00:38:48,440
Speaker 1: world through what present? Danzel?

884
00:38:48,840 --> 00:38:51,200
Speaker 10: Yeah, that's a good question. I think it's really just

885
00:38:51,840 --> 00:38:54,440
Speaker 10: me and my like my work ethic and proving it

886
00:38:54,440 --> 00:38:56,400
Speaker 10: to myself because i've and I've done it so I

887
00:38:56,440 --> 00:38:58,520
Speaker 10: know I could do it again. Like starting out in

888
00:38:58,520 --> 00:39:00,880
Speaker 10: New England, I showed up with a cast of like

889
00:39:01,520 --> 00:39:03,799
Speaker 10: some of the best corners in the league at that time,

890
00:39:03,880 --> 00:39:07,319
Speaker 10: Like I got there twenty nineteen and Stefan Gilmour's there,

891
00:39:07,440 --> 00:39:09,880
Speaker 10: Jason mccordy, Jonathan Jones.

892
00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:11,239
Speaker 4: J C.

893
00:39:11,480 --> 00:39:13,879
Speaker 10: Jackson. Yeah, so like I got to sit and learn

894
00:39:13,920 --> 00:39:15,799
Speaker 10: from those guys, and I like I was on the

895
00:39:15,800 --> 00:39:18,960
Speaker 10: practice squad. I got hurt my rookie year. So that's adversity.

896
00:39:19,000 --> 00:39:20,880
Speaker 10: I'm coming back from that. I've never been hurt before.

897
00:39:21,520 --> 00:39:23,520
Speaker 10: And then I think when I finally got to play,

898
00:39:23,600 --> 00:39:27,080
Speaker 10: somebody wrote an article it was two hundred and ninety

899
00:39:27,120 --> 00:39:29,480
Speaker 10: something days since I from the day I signed to

900
00:39:29,520 --> 00:39:32,080
Speaker 10: the day they activated me for my first first game.

901
00:39:32,160 --> 00:39:33,680
Speaker 1: So like that's adversity.

902
00:39:33,680 --> 00:39:36,400
Speaker 10: I could have quit any time in between there or

903
00:39:36,960 --> 00:39:39,680
Speaker 10: stop getting better, but I just try to find something

904
00:39:39,680 --> 00:39:42,040
Speaker 10: to get better at every single day, every single week.

905
00:39:42,400 --> 00:39:45,000
Speaker 10: You know, it could be something small, but like that's

906
00:39:45,040 --> 00:39:47,240
Speaker 10: what keeps me going, just continuing to get better.

907
00:39:47,440 --> 00:39:51,000
Speaker 4: What's this system? Like playing your spot? This system?

908
00:39:51,040 --> 00:39:54,160
Speaker 10: This system is like you could you watch San Francisco

909
00:39:54,440 --> 00:39:56,239
Speaker 10: and what they did on defense. I think it just

910
00:39:56,280 --> 00:39:58,560
Speaker 10: allows you to make plays and it's and it ends

911
00:39:58,640 --> 00:39:59,920
Speaker 10: up being one on one matchups.

912
00:40:00,200 --> 00:40:00,520
Speaker 4: M hm.

913
00:40:00,920 --> 00:40:03,359
Speaker 10: Especially at corner. It's like it could be his zone,

914
00:40:03,360 --> 00:40:06,040
Speaker 10: but it's gonna like it's gonna turn into man that

915
00:40:06,040 --> 00:40:08,160
Speaker 10: you need to win your matchup. Everybody's got to win

916
00:40:08,200 --> 00:40:10,120
Speaker 10: their matchup. And then you know you win the play

917
00:40:10,160 --> 00:40:12,880
Speaker 10: as a defense. So I think it allows you to

918
00:40:12,920 --> 00:40:16,160
Speaker 10: really like hone in on your technique and trust your technique,

919
00:40:16,160 --> 00:40:17,880
Speaker 10: and then he'll end up making some plays.

920
00:40:18,040 --> 00:40:20,200
Speaker 2: So you were New England, Bill Belichick's the head coach,

921
00:40:20,760 --> 00:40:22,520
Speaker 2: did play in the NFL, did win a lot of

922
00:40:22,600 --> 00:40:25,120
Speaker 2: games as a coach. Now you got Damika Ryan's as

923
00:40:25,160 --> 00:40:27,880
Speaker 2: head coach. He did play a lot in the NFL.

924
00:40:28,120 --> 00:40:30,360
Speaker 2: And we've talked to some guys today that have talked

925
00:40:30,360 --> 00:40:33,080
Speaker 2: about that having a former player, he's been in that seat,

926
00:40:33,120 --> 00:40:36,160
Speaker 2: he's worn that logo, he's worn that same helmet that

927
00:40:36,239 --> 00:40:38,360
Speaker 2: you wore. Does that matter, D'Angelo to you that he

928
00:40:38,480 --> 00:40:40,640
Speaker 2: has played, It doesn't matter it's in Houston, but that

929
00:40:40,680 --> 00:40:43,360
Speaker 2: he's played in the NFL. He knows the riggers of

930
00:40:43,480 --> 00:40:45,480
Speaker 2: being an NFL player, so he knows what it's like

931
00:40:45,520 --> 00:40:46,920
Speaker 2: to be in your shoes when it gets to be

932
00:40:46,920 --> 00:40:48,320
Speaker 2: one hundred degrees out here in August.

933
00:40:48,600 --> 00:40:48,799
Speaker 3: Yeah.

934
00:40:48,840 --> 00:40:50,759
Speaker 10: I think that's a good question too. And I talk

935
00:40:50,840 --> 00:40:53,080
Speaker 10: about like my experience in New England because a lot

936
00:40:53,120 --> 00:40:55,319
Speaker 10: of people on the staff didn't play. My corner coach,

937
00:40:55,680 --> 00:40:58,520
Speaker 10: Mike Pelagreeno, though he was a lacrosse player. Yeah, but

938
00:40:59,320 --> 00:41:02,080
Speaker 10: his knowledge, it's like, it's just no situation you can

939
00:41:02,120 --> 00:41:03,759
Speaker 10: bring up to him that he doesn't know. They're just

940
00:41:03,760 --> 00:41:06,240
Speaker 10: students of the game. So I don't think it matters

941
00:41:06,320 --> 00:41:08,399
Speaker 10: too much. But on the other hand, you can tell

942
00:41:08,440 --> 00:41:11,120
Speaker 10: that you know, coach has been in our shoes before.

943
00:41:11,120 --> 00:41:13,920
Speaker 10: You could just tell there's a little extra you know,

944
00:41:14,719 --> 00:41:18,399
Speaker 10: like knowledge that he has. But Bill, like even Bill,

945
00:41:18,480 --> 00:41:21,120
Speaker 10: anybody who hasn't been in our shoes, but they've been

946
00:41:21,160 --> 00:41:25,600
Speaker 10: around players, like they know again, yeah, they really understand it.

947
00:41:25,840 --> 00:41:26,480
Speaker 1: And you can.

948
00:41:27,200 --> 00:41:29,200
Speaker 10: You can get knowledge from people in all sorts of ways,

949
00:41:29,200 --> 00:41:31,800
Speaker 10: and people come from a lot of different backgrounds in

950
00:41:31,840 --> 00:41:34,480
Speaker 10: this job. So I wouldn't I wouldn't say that's like

951
00:41:34,680 --> 00:41:37,640
Speaker 10: a deal breaker for a good coach or yeah, it's

952
00:41:37,680 --> 00:41:40,960
Speaker 10: just all shapes and sizes of its forms of coaches

953
00:41:40,960 --> 00:41:42,320
Speaker 10: with people with knowledge in this game.

954
00:41:42,880 --> 00:41:45,560
